SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSULTANT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH BOB HALL AND
ASSOCIATES REVISING THE TERM AND INCREASING THE COMPENSATION TO A NEW NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $110,000, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE SECOND AMENDMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving a Second Amendment to the Consultant and Professional Services Agreement with Bob Hall and Associates to extend the term to June 30, 2025, and to add $15,500 to the Agreement, for a total not to exceed amount of $110,000, and authorize the City Manager to execute same.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Bob Hall and Associates has been providing recruitment services through an Agreement since December 2023. A Second Amendment to that Agreement is needed to continue receiving those services for other executive level recruitments.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
A Consultant and Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) in the amount of $29,500 was executed with Bob Hall and Associates in December 2023. The Agreement was for recruitment services for the City Manager position. In May 2024, the Agreement was amended to increase the not to exceed amount to $94,500 to continue recruitment services for the Police Chief and Planning Director positions, the latter of which was replaced for the recruitment of the Assistant City Manager position. We are requesting to amend the term and not to exceed amount in order to add the recruitment services for the Water Resource Manager position.
Staff are requesting approval of this Second Amendment to the original Agreement to continue the need for recruitment services of executive level positions.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval for this item will enable City staff to order up to an additional $15,500 in recruitment services through Bob Hall and Associates. All funding for such additional costs would be absorbed from existing Human Resources Department and Water Department budgets. No additional funding is being requested as part of this item tonight.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

If we exercise this right, we will not be liable to return any premium to you. However, this will not affect any non-fraudulent claim under this Policy which has been previously notified to us.16.Maintenance of employee automobile liability insuranceIt is a condition precedent to indemnity under INSURING CLAUSE 4 (SECTIONS G and H only) that all employees who operate an automobile in the course of your business activities will maintain in full force and effect for the period of the policy primary automobile liability insurance in an amount equal to, or greater than, the minimum primary automobile liability limits required in the state of registration of the automobile.

You will do whatever is reasonably necessary to secure this right and will not do anything after the event which gave rise to the claim to prejudice this right.We will not exercise any rights of recovery against any employee, unless this is in respect of any fraudulent or dishonest acts or omissions as proven by final adjudication, arbitral tribunal or written admission by the employee.Any recoveries will be applied as follows:a. towards any recovery expenses incurred by us;b. then to us up to the amount of our payment under this Policy, including costs and expenses;c. then to you as recovery of your deductible.19.Prior subsidiariesShould an entity cease to be a subsidiary after the inception date, cover in respect of the entity will continue as if it was still a subsidiary during the period of the policy, but only in respect of an act, error, omission or event occurring prior to the date that it ceased to be a subsidiary. 43 CFC Underwriting Limited is Authorized and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority ©1999-2024 CFC Underwriting Ltd, All Rights ReservedRecruitment,Employment&Staffingv3.1

FROM: Stephanie Sifuentes, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE NEOGOV ONLINE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH GOVERNMENTJOBS.COM, INC. DBA (NEOGOV) SETTING TOTAL COMPENSATION GOING FORWARD TO A NEW NOT-TO- EXCEED AMOUNT OF $250,000 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE THE FIRST AMENDMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving a First Amendment to the NeoGov Online Services Agreement authorizing the City to spend $250,000 going forward for software subscriptions to benefit the Human Resources Department.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City of Vallejo has been using NeoGov for onboarding and recruitment services since 2019. Approval of the First Amendment will allow payment of the renewal fees through fiscal year 2025-2026 and continued service.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
NeoGov is a premier software used by public agencies throughout the United States. The City of Vallejo has been using NeoGov since 2019. City management desires to increase efficiencies in various human resource processes to better serve our employees and applicants applying for a job with the City. The City initially implemented the following subscriptions in NeoGov:
1. Onboard (Governmentjobs.com)
2. Biddle Software (online testing)
3. Insight (recruitment, selection, applicant tracking, reporting and analysis, and HR automation)
4. Perform (employee performance management) – this module has not been implemented
The current subscription price for the above software is $65,744.21. Pursuant to the agreement, the subscription price is subject to annual increases upon notice to the City by NeoGov.
In December 2022, the City purchased additional subscriptions using the NeoGov Order Form. A subsequent Order Form dated June 13, 2023, amended and restated the December 2022 Order Form, with initial terms of July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2026, for the following subscriptions:
1. Learn
2. eForms
3. Single Sign-on
4. Employee Import
5. New Hire Export
6. Candidate Text Messaging
7. Position Import
8. Course Management Import
Date: October 22, 2024
Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE NEOGOV ONLINE SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH GOVERNMENTJOBS.COM, INC. DBA (NEOGOV) SETTING TOTAL COMPENSATION GOING FORWARD TO A NEW NOT- TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $250,000 AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE THE FIRST AMENDMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
The Agreement has no end date as long as the City continues using the services. After the June 2023 Order Form was executed, staff did not consider that the total amount of the initial agreement, with previous annual increases allowed in the Agreement and the current 5% annual increase ($65,744.21), plus the Order Form for additional subscriptions ($46,665.60), would exceed the $100,000 City Manager approval threshold for the fiscal year.
In addition, the Human Resources Department desires to continue using the NeoGov subscriptions for the 2025/2026 fiscal year. It is estimated that the subscription cost will be approximately $125,000 for that fiscal year. Thus, the HR Department is seeking approval of $250,000 for these software subscriptions going forward allowing continued use of the services through fiscal year 2025-2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action, as funding for additional costs would be paid for out of the budgeted computer software account for Human Resources. No additional funding is being requested for this item tonight.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Erik Rzomp, Executive Assistant to Mayor McConnell SUBJECT: ISSUE A PROCLAMATION IN RECOGNITION OF VETERANS DAY - NOVEMBER 11, 2024
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Vallejo City Council to approve a proclamation recognizing Veterans Day - November 11, 2024
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
US Census data as of July 1, 2023, indicates that the City of Vallejo is home to 6641 veterans. In conjunction with the national holiday, the City of Vallejo has long recognized and honored its veterans with an annual proclamation on Veteran’s Day.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
According to the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs, Veteran’s Day, November 11 is a national holiday, and is observed on that day regardless of the day of the week it falls on. This is to preserve the historical significance of the original Armistice Day November 11, 1918, when during World War I the cessation of the hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
The Uniform Holiday Bill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to ensure three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays:
Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Ideally these extended weekends would encourage travel, leisure activities and stimulate commerce. On October 25, 1971, the first Veterans Day under the new law was observed under much confusion. It became clear that Veterans Day had historic and patriotic significance to the populace and therefore on September 20th, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479), which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. This action supported the desires of the overwhelming majority of state legislatures, all major veterans service organizations and the American people.
Commemorating November 11 focuses the attention on the celebration to honor America’s and Vallejo’s veterans for their willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
In prior years the Veteran’s Day proclamations have been read at the local Veteran’s Day commemorations at the Mare Island Cemetery and at the Veteran’s memorial behind City Hall.
The granting of this proclamation is in accordance with City of Vallejo policy.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

FOR THE BORDONI RANCH PROJECT AFTER FINDING THE ACTION EXEMPT FROM
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE SECTION 21080(b)(1) AND CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15268(b)(3)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the Final Map of Waterstone Unit 2B after finding the action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1) AND CEQA Guidelines Section 15268(b)(3).
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Approval of said Final Map will allow the Developer to proceed with building 76 single family homes and complete the Waterstone subdivision.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Background
On November 7, 2005, the Planning Commission approved the Vesting Tentative Map (TM02-0003) for Waterstone/Bordoni Ranch, a 434-unit single family residential subdivision, entitled: "TENTATIVE MAP FOR THE BORDONI RANCH, VALLEJO, SOLANO, CALIFORNIA." Bordoni Ranch is the title of the original project and Waterstone is the title of the subdivision.
The developer of the project, Braddock and Logan, L.P., completed the first five phases of the six-phase Waterstone Subdivision: Phase 1A, Phase 1B-I, Phase 1B-II, Phase 1C, and Phase 2A. The successor developer, Tri Pointe Homes Holdings, Inc. (Developer), plans to complete the final phase, Phase 2B, which will provide 76 single family homes. When Phase 2B is complete, all six phases of the project will be complete and will have provided a total of 434 single-family residential homes. The Final Map for Phase 2B is submitted now for City Council's consideration.
Subdivision Improvement Agreement
The Developer has complied with City of Vallejo Municipal Code Section 15.12.080 - Improvement agreements, for all previous Phases of the Project. This section provides that prior to City Council approval of the Final Map, the Developer shall execute a subdivision improvement agreement (SIA) that ensures the completion of the subdivision improvements necessary to serve the subdivision. Additionally, the SIA reiterates the obligations and conditions of approval for Waterstone will remain in effect. The Developer has paid all required fees and submitted subdivision improvement bonds for the as yet unaccepted improvements provided for in the SIA, as related to the filing of the Final Map. The Developer has requested to further defer the condition of approval which requires the Subdivider to prepare 95% design of the ultimate improvements for Colombus Parkway. Given that the entirety of the Waterstone Development is nearing completion, staff has worked with the Subdivider to secure the design requirements with a separate bond. The separate bond

SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION CERTIFYING THE CITY'S AGREEMENT TO COMPLY WITH
STATE HOUSING LAWS RELATING TO THE SURPLUS LAND ACT, ADUS AND
JADUS, AND DENSITY BONUS LAW AND AFFIRMING THAT THE CITY IS IN
COMPLIANCE WITH SAID HOUSING LAWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR ONE BAY AREA GRANT 3 FUNDING ELIGIBILITY.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution certifying the City’s agreement to comply with state housing laws relating to the Surplus Land Act, ADUs and JADUs, and Density Bonus Law and affirming that the City is in compliance with said housing laws in accordance with Metropolitan Transportation Commission requirements for One Bay Area Grant 3 funding.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
To maintain eligibility for funding under the OBAG 3 program, the City of Vallejo must adopt a resolution certifying its compliance with the Surplus Land Act, Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Law, and Density Bonus Law by December 31, 2024. These state laws aim to increase housing supply by prioritizing affordable housing on surplus land, streamlining ADU approvals, and providing incentives to developers who include affordable units in their projects.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The OBAG 3 program (Program), administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), is a regional funding initiative supporting transportation and land use planning that is aligned with the Bay Area’s sustainable development and climate action goals. The Program funds projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve mobility, and promote housing near transit hubs.
The Program allocates over $750 million in federal funding, split between a Regional Program ($375 million) and a County & Local Program ($383 million). In 2023, the Program awarded the City of Vallejo $2.2 million to update its Downtown and Waterfront Specific Plans and $850,000 for Phase II of the Sacramento Street Road Diet Project, which will reduce the number of travel lanes on Sacramento Street, between Tennessee Street and Frisbee Street, from four lanes to two. The funds are to be distributed over a four-year period, from FY 2022-23 to FY 2025-26.
To maintain eligibility for funding under the Program, the City must adopt a resolution by December 31, 2024, certifying that it is in compliance with the Surplus Land Act, ADU Law, and Density Bonus Law. These state laws aim to increase housing supply by prioritizing affordable housing on surplus land, streamlining ADU approvals, and providing incentives to developers who include affordable units in their projects. The City complies with these laws by enforcing its Zoning Code, following state law, and making surplus land available to potential low-income housing developers.

TO EXECUTE SAME AND PROVIDE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE EXPENDITURE OF $219,400 (STEP 1 of 2)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the Consultant and Professional Services Agreement with All-Star Talent, authorizing the City Manager to execute same and provide notice of intent to amend the City's Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Adopted Budget to appropriate $219,400
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
As part of the Recruitment, Retention, and Referral Plan, staff recommends approval of the Consultant and Professional Services Agreement with All-Star Talent and notice of intent to amend Fiscal Year 2024-2025 budget. This is the first step of the required two-step budget amendment process to amend the FY 2024-2025 Adopted Budget. If the City Council approves tonight's recommendation, the final action will be scheduled for City Council's consideration on November 12, 2024.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On July 25, 2023, the City Council adopted a proclamation declaring a state of local emergency related to public safety staffing. In conjunction, and at the direction of City Council, the previous City Manager had assigned two million dollars at the end of FY 2022-23 to help address recruitment and retention. The Human Resources Department was tasked with (1) conducting a study of surrounding agencies and their recruitment and retention incentives for Police Officers, (2) creating a recruitment and retention plan for City of Vallejo Police Officers, and (3) finding a way to amplify recruitment efforts and identify other means for resolving the staffing crisis in the short-term.
In addition to the Recruitment, Retention, and Referral Plan, the Human Resources Department and Vallejo Police Department collaborated on a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to find a talent marketing and recruitment firm to increase methodologies, exposure, and success of recruitment efforts.
An RFP was issued in September 2023 and six firms responded. Three of the six firms demonstrated they could perform the scope of services required in the RFP and were moved to final review by the committee. Final scoring was completed in February 2024. Based on the ratings from the selection committee, All-Star Talent was the highest rated proposal.
This is the first step of the required two-step budget amendment process to amend the FY 2024-25 Adopted Budget. City Council will consider tonight's notice of intent to amend the budget. If the City Council approves tonight's recommendation, the final action will be scheduled for the City Council's consideration on November 12, 2024. This amended budget would go into effect on November 13, 2024.

MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME AND PROVIDE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE EXPENDITURE OF $219,400 (STEP 1 of 2)
This notice of intent does not have any fiscal impact. If the City Council approves tonight's recommendation, the fiscal impact of the final action which is increasing the General Fund expenditure budget by $219,400 using assigned fund balance, will be included in the staff report for the agenda item that is scheduled for City Council consideration on November 12, 2024.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

CONSENT CALENDAR 8.N.
DATE: October 22, 2024
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Beth Schoenberger, Water Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING REIMBURSEMENTS TOTALING $500,000 FROM THE COUNTY OF SOLANO’S ARPA GRANT REVENUE FOR FEASIBILITY STUDIES IN
THE CITY WATER SYSTEM AND THE LAKES WATER SYSTEM AND PROVIDING NOTICE OF INTENT TO AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 CAPITAL FUNDS
BUDGET FOR THE CITY WATER SYSTEM AND THE LAKES WATER SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATION
1. Adopt a resolution accepting American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant reimbursements per the Interagency Contract Between the City of Vallejo and County of Solano for Water System Feasibility Studies.
2. As the first in a two-step process, provide notice of intent to amend the Fiscal Year 24-25 budget to recognize reimbursements in the amount of $250,000 for the City Water System and $250,000 for the Lakes System.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Solano County Board of Supervisors approved an Appropriation Transfer Request to fund feasibility studies as part of two City of Vallejo Water Projects. Solano County will provide up to $250,000 per project of their ARPA funds, which is a 50% cost share for each project. • WT7127, Cache Main & Pump Station Rehab: conduct a study to evaluate the feasibility of restarting operation of the City’s Cache Slough pumping plant to provide water supply reliability. • WT7128, Lakes Water System Auxiliary Pump Supply: conduct a study to evaluate the feasibility of consolidating the Lakes Water System into the larger City of Vallejo water system to improve water supply reliability.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City’s Cache Slough pumping plant is located in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and was built in 1952 to convey water from the Delta to the City’s service area, which includes the cities of Vallejo, Benicia, Fairfield, and American Canyon, as well as Travis Air Force Base, through water exchange contracts. The Cache Slough pumping plant has been inoperable since the 1980s due to water quality issues from upstream wastewater effluent which has since been improved through tertiary treatment processes. Currently, the City conveys its share of water through the North Bay Aquaduct (NBA) as “City Permit Water”. Due to its seniority, the City’s Permit Water is considered the most valuable of the NBA water supply portfolio. However, the NBA is routinely taken offline and experiences curtailments which restricts the reliability of the supply. City staff propose to reinstate the Cache Slough pumping plant to provide additional reliable water supplies to potentially augment and address supplies at risk due to increasing curtailments of the NBA.

WATER SYSTEM
would include evaluating water quality treatment options, construction costs, operations and maintenance, and conceptual design alternatives. Solano County will contribute up to $250,000 of its ARPA funding, which is a 50% cost share of the $500,000 total to conduct a feasibility study to assess reinstatement of the Cache Slough pumping plant.
The City has two primary water systems, including the City’s system, serving the Vallejo area, and the Lakes Water System, serving the unincorporated western portion of Solano County. The Lakes Water System’s water supply is provided by two lakes, Madigan and Frey, and supplemented with Solano Project water from Lake Berryessa. Due to climatic changes and reduced supply reliability of Lakes Madigan and Frey, City staff propose to conduct a feasibility study to connect the City’s two water systems to provide additional water to the Lakes Water System. Solano County will contribute up to $250,000 of its ARPA funding, which is a 50% cost share of the $500,000 total, to conduct a feasibility study to assess connecting the City’s water systems.
The two studies will be performed by GEI Consultants and West Yost Associates under existing contracts with each vendor for on-call engineering services. These two contracts are the result of an RFP process conducted by the City Water Department in March 2022. The contracts were approved by the City Council on March 22, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. Both feasibility studies are funded from existing projects, Cache Main & Pump Station Rehab (Project No. WT7127) and Lakes Water System Auxiliary Pump Supply (Project No.
WT7128), and have already been appropriated from the Water Enterprise Fund. The grant funding provided by Solano County will offset the cost to the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

4.

ACTION ITEM 8.O.
DATE: October 22, 2024
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Beth Schoenberger, Water Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE GRANTING OF AN EASEMENT DEED TO
PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY (PG&E) ON CITY PROPERTY FOR THE
INSTALLATION OF UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT THROUGH A PORTION OF APNS 0147-050-050 AND 0147-040-060) AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the granting of an easement to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for the installation of underground electrical transmission lines on City property at the Green Valley Water Treatment Plant (APNs 0147-050-050 and 0147-040-060); after finding the action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and authorizing the City Manager to execute same.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
PG&E is working to mitigate wildfires through their Underground (UG) System Hardening project, which includes removing overhead power lines and placing them underground. For PG&E to gain access to perform this work, a utility easement on City property at the Green Valley Water Treatment Plant is required.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City has several pump stations and water treatment plants that have been subjected to Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events. The system most susceptible to PSPS events is the Lakes Water System and the Green Valley Water Treatment Plant (GVWTP). To reduce the impacts on customers, the Water Department has made strides to reduce the impacts of PSPS events by implementing a more resilient backup power supply system by purchasing backup generators and completing a project known as the Quick Connects Project. The Quick Connects Project is essentially a plug-and-play project where a generator can be taken out to a site and “plugged in” using efficient connection processes known as “quick connects”.
PG&E has also been working for several years to reduce wildfire risks caused by overhead distribution lines by strengthening the electric system with stronger poles and covered powerlines. Some powerlines are also buried, which is referred to as undergrounding. These efforts are known as system hardening. This work benefits communities by helping reduce the risk of wildfires, enhancing long-term safety, significantly improving reliability during winter weather, and reducing the instances of Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event impacts.
Over the past several months, PG&E and the Water Department have partnered to work on a system hardening project at the GVWTP. The project consists of approximately half a mile of powerlines serving the GVWTP. This is the final segment of a larger 12-mile stretch of projects scheduled to be completed this year, which will serve more than 600 customers in the area with improved, safe, and reliable electric service.
In order for PG&E to construct, access, and maintain the lines into the future, a permanent easement on City property is required. Details of the easement can be found on the easement deed attached to the Resolution as Exhibit A. As part of the agreement, PG&E will survey the location of the facilities to more precisely define

the easement area and produce a separate document called a Notice of Final Description that will refer back to the drafted easement.
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, PG&E has offered to pay $5,000 for this easement, which will go to the Water Enterprise Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from environmental review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections:
15301(b) - action leading to undergrounding of an existing electrical facility; 15302(c) action leading to replacement of existing electrical facility underground; and 15303(d) as a utility extension to support project (PM: 35473992) for installation of a generator for public safety.

FROM: Veronica A.F. Nebb, City Attorney
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO MASTER LEGAL
COUNSEL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RENNE PUBLIC LAW GROUP AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO EXECUTE THE SAME
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the First Amendment to Master Legal Counsel Services Agreement with Renne Public Law Group and authorize the City Attorney to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The original contract amount has been exceeded requiring City Council approval for additional services.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City of Vallejo uses a number of outside law firms to provide specialized legal services to othe City Attorney's office. Renne Public Law Group, LLP ("Renne") is one such firm which provides specialized legal services related to negotiation, legal advice and legal analysis concerning the City's labor bargaining units. Renne recently completed the collective bargaining process with both IBEW and CAMP. We expect Renne to continue to provide specialized legal services involving both collective bargaining and meet and confer issues with our bargaining units. The First Amendment to Master Legal Counsel Services Agreement will allow Renne to continue providing services to the City through December 31, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for these services were previously budgeted by the City City Council. As such, there will be no effect on the current City Budget by approving this First Amendment to Master Legal Counsel Services Agreement.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

CONSENT CALENDAR 8.R.
DATE: October 22, 2024
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Stephanie Sifuentes, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING NEW SALARY RANGES FOR THE ASSISTANT
CITY MANAGER AND DEPUTY POLICE CHIEF CLASSIFICATIONS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving new salary ranges for the Assistant City Manager and Deputy Police Chief Classifications.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Human Resources Department conducted a peer jurisdiction total compensation benchmarking study for the Assistant City Manager prior to beginning the recruitment process and determined that it is 10.46% below market. Since then, Council approved a 5% increase for all Unrepresented employees. Increasing the salary by 4% will close the gap further to help us ensure a more successful recruitment process.
The Deputy Police Chief classification is currently paid roughly 2% more than the Police Captain (a subordinate rank). This makes it challenging for the City to encourage current Police Captains to fill that role in a temporary capacity when needed, let alone a regular capacity. Increasing the salary by 5% will widen the gap further to help us recruit and retain.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Recruitment and retention continue to be a challenge for the City of Vallejo, as well as for other would-be employers (whether public or private). In order to be successful in recruiting and retaining quality employees, the City must offer competitive compensation relative to the market as well as internal equity. Two classifications in particular need increased compensation for attraction and retention.
Assistant City Manager
We have one Assistant City Manager vacancy which is now open for recruitment. A peer jurisdiction total compensation study on the Assistant City Manager classification was conducted in late June/early July and it was found that the total compensation of the Assistant City Manager classification in Vallejo is 10.46% below the market median. Attracting and hiring a highly qualified candidate for this position is going to be extremely important. The City is simultaneously working on (1) modernizing policies and procedures, due to a long period of time when the City did not stay up to date, and (2) implementing a significant number of projects across many departments. Many of the City's key projects are cross-departmental and many department heads are relatively short in tenure, which requires additional support from the City Manager and Assistant City Managers. Council approved a 5% increase for Unrepresented employees effective September 21, 2024, which put the Assistant City Manager salary closer to market median. Our recommendation is to increase the Assistant City Manager salary by another 4%, which we believe will move it to within 5% of the peer jurisdiction average.
Deputy Police Chief
After the negotiated increases that VPOA received in July 2024, the Police Captain classification (VPOA), with all applicable special pays, earned roughly 3% more than the Deputy Police Chief (Unrepresented). With the
Date: October 22, 2024
Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING NEW SALARY RANGES FOR THE ASSISTANT
CITY MANAGER AND DEPUTY POLICE CHIEF CLASSIFICATIONS
5% increases approved by Council for Unrepresented employees effective September 21, 2024, the Deputy Police Chief now makes roughly 2% more than the Police Captain. This makes it difficult to encourage internal promotion from Police Captain to Deputy Police Chief (even for temporary assignments), and would present a challenge for external recruitment. Increasing the Deputy Police Chief salary by 5% will create sufficient space between the Police Captain and Deputy Police Chief salaries to encourage internal promotion as well as recruitment of external candidates, and retention in the long term. If Council does not approve the recommended salary increase for the Deputy Police Chief classification, it will continue to be difficult to fill it (whether internal or external, temporary or permanent).
FISCAL IMPACT
The Assistant City Manager classification has two budgeted allocations. The Deputy Police Chief classification has two budgeted allocations. Approval of this item will increase the General Fund expenditures for CY 2024- 25 by $38,400 covering the months of November 2024 through June 2025. The increases will be absorbed by the applicable departments’ existing budgets. Funding for future fiscal years will be requested as part of the annual budget process and will be factored into the Five-Year Financial Forecast.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

All positions in the Personnel Summaries/Authorized FTE Listings by Department that are authorized at multiple levels, where promotion is dependent on an employee obtaining certification or similar criteria not in the City's control, or other circumstances warrant, are required to be listed below and are referred to as "Multi-Level Authorizations":

In 2016, long guns (rifles, etc.) were used in 40% of firearm related line-of-duty deaths. From 1988 to August 2019, more than 85% of mass shootings have occurred in gun-free zones, like schools, churches, and shopping malls where law enforcement may be in the vicinity and waiting for SWAT deployment is not timely. Long guns outperform handguns, as handguns need to be reloaded during confrontations with armed felons in possession of high-velocity rifles. Long guns offer increased accuracy and capacity to stop threats of great bodily injury or death at close and intermediate ranges. These firearms are capable of firing more accurately and quicker than a pistol and decrease the likelihood of errant rounds traveling beyond the intended target.
