Request for Qualification (RFQ), staff was able to select two highly qualified firms for on-call communications consultancy. In FY 2023-2024, SAE will develop a crisis communications plan, and provide ongoing support for the City’s crisis communications needs. Randle Communications will develop a strategic communications plan and will coordinate with staff to implement that plan. Both efforts will involve extensive interactions with the Council to assure that the resultant plans meet the Council’s intent.
Having two consultants under contract allows for each firm to focus on a specific sub-set of the City’s communications work, while providing redundancy that will allow for the City to be resilient in times of crisis and apply extra resources to a specific issue or situation as needed.
Outreach Improvements
The aforementioned consultant contracts include some deliverables, such as the crisis and strategic communication plan documents. (The one-time cost of developing these plans causes the 2023-2024 cost to be higher than the ongoing cost.) It is likely that the consultants’ plans will recommend actions that are not covered in the consultants’ contracts themselves. Staff believes it is prudent to budget for additional implementation items that would not be covered under the consultants’ base contracts. These could include marketing materials, such as flyers or door hangers; video production; print or online advertisements, and other implementation costs associated with unforeseen needs.
Community Engagement Software Pilot
Staff is proposing a small expenditure of Measure E Smart City funds to facilitate the experimental use of a new software platform called “With” that is designed to improve community engagement by facilitating events and volunteering connections. Among other tools, this software would provide a community calendar that would help residents connect with volunteering opportunities, and community events.
Additionally, the software would allow residents to voluntarily provide the City with information about their interests, which would make it easier for the City to connect residents with relevant City programming.
As a design partner, the City will receive this software at a steep discount.
One-Time Outreach
The proposed appropriation includes funds for a one-time outreach effort associated with the potential placement of Council-initiated measure(s) on the November 2024 ballot. This could include polling, listening sessions, and/or other community engagement efforts intended to help assure that any Councilsupported ballot measure is grounded in empirically verified community priorities.
Taken together, staff believes the actions summarized above respond directly to the Council’s goal of materially improving the City’s communications efforts in the upcoming fiscal year. Staff recommends that the Council approve Resolution 23-64 and authorize the City Manager to execute the related contracts and take other actions necessary to effectuate the work described in this report.
Environmental Considerations
This action is not a project that is subject to CEQA because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c), 15378(a).)
Commission Recommendation
N/A
Strategic Plan Integration
This item facilitates implementation of the Council’s 2023 Policy Agenda priority item, “Strategic Communications Program Development.”
Alternatives
The Council’s primary alternatives are summarized below:

Alternative 1 is staff’s recommended action. Staff is prepared to effectuate Alternatives 2 or 3 at the Council’s direction.
Coordination and Review
This report was prepared by the City Manager’s Office, in collaboration with the Finance Department.
Budget/Cost Impact
This report requests a one-time appropriation of $160,000 and ongoing annual appropriation of $249,970 for a total of $661,470 over the next two fiscal years. This request was included in the proposed budget workshopped with Council on May 17, 2023 as Decision Package 458, and was even detailed in the June 28, 2023 budget adoption report and presentation as an item that was revised since the budget workshop. The request was inadvertently excluded from the total expenditure budget adopted by Council on June 28th. This item requests the appropriation Council and staff believed was included in the adopted budget, however, was inadvertently omitted. The costs incurred in the General Support Fund are allocated to all City funds based on the approved cost allocation methodology.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 16, 2023 ITEM # 8
SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING A SUPPORT POSITION ON ASSEMBLY CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 1 (AGUIAR-CURRY) RELATING TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENT FINANCING
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
Doug Drozd, Government Affairs Manager
City Manager’s Office
ATTACHMENT [ ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this item is to provide the Council with sufficient information to approve a support position on Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA) 1 (Aguiar-Curry) relating to local government financing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve a support position on ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) relating to local government financing, authorize the Mayor to sign and transmit the attached letter of support, and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to take all actions necessary to support the legislation.
BACKGROUND
For local governments, the California Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of residents for the approval local general obligation (GO) bonds and special taxes. In contrast, the California Constitution only requires local school districts to achieve 55 percent voter approval for school bonds to fund construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, replacement of school facilities, furnishing of schools, or the acquisition or lease of real property.
This discrepancy has led to disparate outcomes in local revenue measures. For example, from 2001 to 2013, over 2,200 measures have been placed before voters concerning school, city, county, or special district taxes or bonds. Majority vote tax measures have proven to be much more likely to pass, while just half of two-thirds vote measures succeeded. School bonds with a 55 percent requirement have been the most successful, with four out of every five passing. Meanwhile, nearly 80 percent of all two-thirds supermajority measures garnered more than 55 percent “yes” votes but still failed to pass.
Local governments face many challenges in securing funding for important housing and infrastructure projects.
The two-thirds vote requirement for GO bonds and special taxes for specific projects effectively takes those options off the table for cities like West Sacramento when considering options for funding vital projects. To address this problem, Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry introduced ACA 1 which proposes to place an amendment to the California Constitution before the voters that would change certain voter threshold requirements.
The Assembly Local Government Committee heard ACA 1 on July 12, 2023 and approved the measure on a 6-1 vote. The bill now awaits a hearing and vote in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
ANALYSIS
If approved, ACA 1 will propose to voters a constitutional amendment to lower the necessary vote threshold from a two-thirds supermajority to 55 percent to approve local GO bonds and special taxes specifically for affordable housing, supportive housing, and public infrastructure projects. In doing so, this measure would give the City more realistic financing options to fund affordable housing and to address numerous public infrastructure challenges.
ACA 1 defines “public infrastructure” to include:
Projects to provide water or protect water quality, sanitary sewer, treat wastewater or reduce pollution from storm water runoff;
Projects that protect property from impacts of sea level rise; Public buildings, including fire and police facilities; Parks, open space, and recreation facilities;
Improvements to transit, streets, and highways;
Flood control;
Public library facilities;
Broadband expansion in underserved areas; and,
Local hospital construction. 191
Support Position on ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry)
August 16, 2023
ACA 1 defines “affordable housing” and “supportive housing” to include:
Housing developments that provide workforce housing affordable to households earning up to 150% of countywide median income;
Housing developments that provide housing affordable to lower, low, or very low-income households, as those terms are defined in state law; and,
Targeted housing that is linked to services that assist residents in retaining the housing, improving their health status, and maximizing their ability to live and work in the community.
ACA 1 has garnered support from a wide range of local government, housing, labor, and transportation stakeholders. Staff believes it is appropriate for the City to join this growing group of supporters because this measure, if enacted by voters, will provide additional realistic funding and financing options for the City Council’s Strategic Plan priorities.
In 2021, the City Council approved a support position on ACA 1. Since that time a new City Council has been sworn in and the legislation has been re-introduced and amended. As such, staff believed it appropriate to return to the City Council to reconsider a support position at this time.
Environmental Considerations
The proposed actions contained in this report fall within the “common sense” CEQA exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Commission Recommendation
N/A
Strategic Plan Integration
If approved by voters, ACA 1 would give the City more options and flexibility in pursuing funding for a broad range of Strategic Plan priorities. Therefore, it has a potential direct positive nexus to the 2023 Strategic Plan items: Flood Protection (Federal Project); Light Rail Extension/Transit Expansion; Stormwater Flood Protection & Maintenance; City Facilities & Infrastructure Financing Strategy; Enterprise Crossing Project Development; and, Explore Affordable Housing for Police and Educators.
Alternatives
Staff has summarized the Council’s primary alternatives below:
1. Approve a support position on ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry), authorize the Mayor to sign and transmit the attached letter of support, and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to take all actions necessary to support the legislation.
2. Approve a support position on ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry), authorize the Mayor to sign and transmit the attached letter of support, and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to take all actions necessary to support the legislation with directed modifications.
3. Decline to approve a support position on ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry).
Alternative 1 is staff’s recommended action. Staff is prepared to implement Alternative 2. Staff is not recommending Alternative 3 because ACA 1 presents an opportunity to further a number of the City Council’s Strategic Plan items and thus warrants City advocacy actions.
Coordination and Review
City Manager’s Office staff prepared this item in consultation with the City’s contract advocates at Arc Strategies.
Budget/Cost Impact
There is no direct budget or cost impact associated with this item. However, if approved, ACA 1 could have a positive impact on the City’s budget strategy.

RE: ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry). Local government financing: Affordable housing and public infrastructure: voter approval.
Notice of SUPPORT
Dear Speaker pro Tempore Aguiar–Curry,
The City of West Sacramento is pleased to support your bill, Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA) 1, which would lower the voter threshold requirements from two-thirds to 55% approval for local government general obligation bonds and special taxes for the purpose of providing funding for affordable housing and public infrastructure projects.
As you know, local governments have widespread and urgent infrastructure needs. Here in West Sacramento, we a pursuing a number of transportation, flood control, and municipal facility improvements that are critical to the safety and livability of our community. Additionally, the low supply and high cost of housing throughout the state has created an urgent need for more affordable housing options. Cities like West Sacramento need additional flexibility to promote the development of affordable housing close to jobs and to continue to provide critical infrastructure for a better quality of life. While we have been successful in creatively funding and financing a number of these priorities, ACA 1 will add another useful tool to our suite of options for implementing urgently needed infrastructure and housing projects.
California voters have demonstrated time and again that they understand the importance of investing in their future by approving significant school, transportation, and water bond measures.
However, the two-thirds voter threshold required for local bond and tax measures has stymied a number of these investments at the local level. ACA 1 provides the voters an opportunity to consider treating investments in local infrastructure and affordable housing in a similar manner as school facilities. We believe this is a prudent and sorely needed amendment to the California Constitution.
Thank you for your leadership on this matter and for your stalwart representation of the City of West Sacramento in the Legislature. If you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance, please contact the City’s Government Affairs Manager Doug Drozd at (916) 193

ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) Fact Sheet – Updated 07/26/23
ACA 1 – 55% Vote Threshold for Local Affordable Housing and Public Infrastructure
SUMMARY
ACA 1 will propose to voters a constitutional
amendment to lower the necessary vote threshold from
a two-thirds supermajority to 55 percent to approve
local general obligation (GO) bonds and special taxes for affordable housing and public infrastructure projects.
ACA 1 is targeted to the urgent needs of local
communities. This measure gives local governments a
more realistic financing option to fund an increase in
the supply of affordable housing, and to address the
numerous local public infrastructure challenges cities, counties, and special districts are facing.
BACKGROUND
The California Constitution requires a two-thirds vote at the local level for both GO bonds and special taxes.
However, local school districts must only achieve 55
percent voter approval for school bonds to fund
construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation,
replacement of school facilities, furnishing of schools, or the acquisition or lease of real property.
From 2001 to 2013, over 2,200 local revenue measures
have been placed before voters concerning school, city, county, or special district taxes or bonds. Majority vote tax measures have proven to be much more likely to
pass, while just half of two-thirds vote measures
succeeded. School bonds with a 55 percent have been
the most successful, with four out of every five passing.
In contrast, just half of two-thirds vote measures
succeeded. A 55 percent vote threshold for special
taxes would have made a dramatic difference. Nearly 80
percent of all two-thirds supermajority measures
garnered more than 55 percent of “yes” votes.
1) AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEED
According to the Department of Housing & Community
Development (HCD), in the last 10 years California has
built an average of 80,000 homes per year, while the
need to keep up with the housing need is approximately
180,000 homes per year. There is a shortfall of over one million rental homes affordable to extremely low and
very low-income households.
2) LACK OF FUNDING FOR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
Cities, counties, and special districts face numerous
challenges in securing funding for important local public infrastructure projects, including:
Water. Much of the state’s water supply, wastewater,
and flood control infrastructure is aging. Rebuilding
typically requires costly upgrades to meet increasingly high standards for water quality and infrastructure
safety. In the last few decades, new mandates on
managing stormwater runoff and climate change have
added increased costs and heightened levels of
management complexity. The water sector has
historically relied heavily on locally generated revenues, which means that Proposition 13 (1978), Proposition
218 (1996), and Proposition 26 (2010), have made it
increasingly difficult for local agencies to raise funds.
Parks and Recreation. According to the Statewide
Comprehensive Outdoor Plan of 2015, 62 percent of
Californians live in areas with less than 3 acres of
parkland per 1,000 residents (the recognized standard
for adequate parks). Additionally, 9 million people do
not have a park within a half mile of their home.
Other Local Needs. Our local governments across the
state know best what specific priorities matter most in their communities. For some, funding the costs of a new library or other public building is a means to create local engagement and encourage learning. For others,
funding the expansion of broadband is a concern that
can seem financially impossible. Strained public safety and emergency response resources in many regions
could also benefit from much needed investment. Plus,
with discussions underway in Washington D.C. about a
possible federal infrastructure initiative, the ability to provide matching-dollars for federal grants is critical to being competitive for new grants.
3) IMPACT OF TWO-THIRDS VOTER REQUIREMENT
The California Constitution limits the opportunity for
communities to decide to tax themselves to provide
funding for local projects that meet goals and laws
approved by the majority. One-third of local voters
have the power to overrule fiscal decisions.
THIS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, 4th Assembly District 195
ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) Fact Sheet – Updated 07/10/23
ACA 1 will lower the constitutional vote threshold to 55 percent for both GO bonds and special taxes, when
proposed specifically for the construction,
reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of public infrastructure, affordable housing, or supportive
housing.
The constitutional amendment will also specify
requirements for voter protection, public notice, and
financial accountability.
In practice, local officials propose a local bond or special tax, and then the voters in that community decide
whether they support the idea or not. The voters would
still need to overwhelmingly (with 55 percent of the
vote) support a bond or special tax in order for it to be approved. ACA 1 will level the playing field and create parity between school districts and cities, counties, and special districts, so that all local governments have a viable financing tool to address community needs.
ACA 1 defines “public infrastructure” to include:
Projects to provide water or protect water quality,
sanitary sewer, treat wastewater or reduce
pollution from storm water runoff;
Protect property from impacts of sea level rise;
Public buildings, including fire and police facilities; Parks, open space, and recreation facilities;
Improvements to transit and streets and highways;
Flood control;
Public library facilities;
Broadband expansion in underserved areas;
Local hospital construction;
Public safety buildings, facilities, and equipment;
Public library facilities.
ACA 1 defines “affordable housing” and “supportive
housing” to include:
Housing developments that provide workforce
housing affordable to households earning up to
150% of countywide median income;
Housing developments that provide housing
affordable to lower, low, or very low-income
households, as those terms are defined in state law;
Targeted housing that is linked to services that
assist residents in retaining the housing, improving
their health status, and maximizing their ability to
live and, when possible, work in the community.
This measure proposes an amendment to the California
Constitution, which means that if passed by the
Legislature, the proposal would then go to the ballot for voter approval during the next statewide election.

Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 1—A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by amending Sections 1 and 4 of Article XIII A thereof, by amending Section 2 of, and by adding Section 2.5 to, Article XIIIC thereof, by amending Section 3 of Article XIII D thereof, and by amending Section 18 of Article XVI thereof, relating to local finance. legislative counsel’s digest
ACA 1, as amended, Aguiar-Curry. Local government financing:
affordable housing and public infrastructure: voter approval. (1) The California Constitution prohibits the ad valorem tax rate on real property from exceeding 1% of the full cash value of the property, subject to certain exceptions.
This measure would create an additional exception to the 1% limit that would authorize a city, county, city and county, or special district
97 198
to levy an ad valorem tax to service bonded indebtedness incurred to fund the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of public infrastructure, affordable housing, or permanent supportive housing, or the acquisition or lease of real property for those purposes, if the proposition proposing that tax is approved by 55% of the voters of the city, county, or city and county, or special district, as applicable, and the proposition includes specified accountability requirements. The measure would specify that these provisions apply to any city, county, city and county, or special district measure imposing an ad valorem tax to pay the interest and redemption charges on bonded indebtedness for these purposes that is submitted at the same election as this measure. (2) The California Constitution conditions the imposition of a special tax by a local government upon the approval of 2⁄3 of the voters of the local government voting on that tax.
This measure would authorize a local government to impose, extend, or increase a sales and use tax or transactions and use tax imposed in accordance with specified law or a parcel tax, as defined, for the purposes of funding the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of public infrastructure, affordable housing, or permanent supportive housing housing, or the acquisition or lease of real property for those purposes, if the proposition proposing that tax is approved by a majority vote of the membership of the governing board of the local government and by 55% of its voters voting on the proposition and the proposition includes specified accountability requirements. This measure would also make conforming changes to related provisions. The measure would specify that these provisions apply to any local measure imposing, extending, or increasing a sales and use tax, transactions and use tax, or parcel tax for these purposes that is submitted at the same election as this measure.
(3) The California Constitution prohibits specified local government agencies from incurring any indebtedness exceeding in any year the income and revenue provided in that year, without the assent of 2⁄3 of the voters and subject to other conditions. In the case of a school district, community college district, or county office of education, the California Constitution permits a proposition for the incurrence of indebtedness in the form of general obligation bonds for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of school facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for school facilities, to be adopted 97 ACA 1 — 2 —
199
upon the approval of 55% of the voters of the district or county, as appropriate, voting on the proposition at an election.
This measure would expressly prohibit a special district, other than a board of education or school district, from incurring any indebtedness or liability exceeding any applicable statutory limit, as prescribed by the statutes governing the special district. The measure would also similarly require the approval of 55% of the voters of the city, county, city and county, or special district, as applicable, to incur bonded indebtedness, exceeding in any year the income and revenue provided in that year, that is in the form of general obligation bonds issued to fund the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of public infrastructure, affordable housing, or permanent supportive housing projects, if the proposition proposing that bond includes specified accountability requirements. The measure would specify that this 55% threshold applies to any proposition for the incurrence of indebtedness by a city, county, city and county, or special district for these purposes that is submitted at the same election as this measure.
Vote: 2⁄3. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
line 1 Resolved by the Assembly, the Senate concurring, That the line 2 Legislature of the State of California at its 2023–24 Regular line 3 Session commencing on the fifth day of December 2022, two-thirds line 4 of the membership of each house concurring, hereby proposes to line 5 the people of the State of California, that the Constitution of the line 6 State be amended as follows:
line 7 First—That Section 1 of Article XIII A thereof is amended to line 8 read:
line 9 SECTION 1. (a) The maximum amount of any ad valorem line 10 tax on real property shall not exceed 1 percent of the full cash line 11 value of that property. The 1 percent tax shall be collected by the line 12 counties and apportioned according to law to the districts within line 13 the counties.
line 14 (b) The limitation provided for in subdivision (a) shall not apply line 15 to ad valorem taxes or special assessments to pay the interest and line 16 redemption charges on any of the following:
line 17 (1) Indebtedness approved by the voters before July 1, 1978. line 18 (2) Bonded indebtedness to fund the acquisition or improvement line 19 of real property approved on or after July 1, 1978, by two-thirds line 20 of the votes cast by the voters voting on the proposition. 97 — 3 — ACA 1
200
line 1 (3) Bonded indebtedness incurred by a school district, line 2 community college district, or county office of education for the line 3 construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of line 4 school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of school line 5 facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for school line 6 facilities, approved by 55 percent of the voters of the district or line 7 county, as appropriate, voting on the proposition on or after line 8 November 8, 2000. This paragraph shall apply only if the line 9 proposition approved by the voters and resulting in the bonded line 10 indebtedness includes all of the following accountability line 11 requirements:

ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [ ] Action
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to provide sufficient information for the City Council to consider proposed changes to the FY 2023/24 and 2024/25 Benefit Summaries for the City’s unrepresented employee groups (Specialists and Professionals, Confidential, Management, Safety Management and Executive Management) and City Council, approval of Resolution 22-67 allocating budget for the proposed changes, updates to the publicly available pay schedule (Classification Plan) for FY 2023/24, and the revised Authorized Position List for FY 2023/24.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve the amended and updated Authorized Position List (APL) for Fiscal Year 2023/24;
2. Approve the amended and updated publicly available pay schedule (Classification Plan) for Fiscal Year 2023/24;
3. Approve the updated benefit summaries for the City Council, Specialists and Professionals, Confidential, Management, Safety Management and Executive Management groups for Fiscal Years 2023/24 and 2024/25;
4. Authorize the City manager to place employees newly hired into the Specialists and Professionals, Confidential, Management, Safety Management and Executive Management groups at an advanced vacation accrual tier within specified guidelines;
5. Approve amendments to Administrative Policy II-D-3 expanding the application of Exceptional Performance Awards to employees in the Management, Safety Management, Confidential, and Specialists & Professionals groups; and
6. Approve Resolution 23-67 authorizing budget appropriations to fund the changes proposed in the Benefit Summaries, revised APL, and revised Classification Plan.
BACKGROUND
The Authorized Position List (APL) identifies the number of positions and their respective classification titles by budget unit. Staff must bring an updated Authorized Position List to the City Council for approval whenever there are changes to the number(s) of positions or budget unit(s).
The Publicly Available Pay schedule (Classification Plan) establishes the monthly and annual salary ranges for all regular authorized positions as well as the pay schedule for the Mayor, City Council members, and all extra help positions in the City. CalPERS requires the City bring updated salary ranges (Classification Plan) to the City Council whenever there are changes to the salary ranges or job titles.
The City also maintains Benefits Summaries which contain information regarding benefits offered to the various employee groups. When updates to Benefits Summaries are proposed, they are presented to the Council for consideration and approval. The Benefits Summaries attached include updates to the salary and benefits for the unrepresented employee groups. The unrepresented groups’ benefits are typically revisited every two years with the biennial budget adoption.
214
Consideration of Proposed Benefit Summaries, Publicly Available Pay Schedule, and APL For Fiscal Year 23/24 & 24/25.
August 16, 2023
Since December 1999, the City Manager has had authority to place management employees at an advanced vacation accrual tier upon hire as a recruitment tool. The reasoning for the authority was that such employees often have a considerable amount of public service experience that has garnered them a higher vacation accrual level than what the City offers for newly hired individuals, and they are sometimes reluctant to give up the existing benefit. This scenario is not unique to management employees, however. Staff is therefore requesting that the City Manager be given authority to place newly hired employees from all unrepresented groups (Executive Management, Management, Safety Management, Confidential, and Specialists & Professionals) who would normally be at the minimum vacation accrual level. This would not be routinely done, but within specified guidelines. Such authority could, however, be used in combination with the authority outlined in the benefit summaries allowing the years of City service of a returning employee to be considered in determining vacation accrual tier.
Originally authorized by the City Council in 1991, Administrative Policy II-D-3 currently allows department heads to request the City Manager grant a monetary award to management employees for their exceptional performance. Per the policy, an exceptional performance award is compensation in an amount not to exceed
2.5% of an employee's annual salary per fiscal year. Exceptional performance awards are granted only when performance clearly exceeds job requirements. Staff is requesting that the City Manager’s authority to give Exceptional Performance Awards be expanded to apply to the following unrepresented employee groups:
Management, Safety Management, Confidential, and Specialists & Professionals. Expanding the program to include the additional unrepresented employee groups will further incentivize and reward outstanding work and continue to attract and retain top talent.
ANALYSIS
Publicly Available Pay Schedule (Classification Plan):
The City of West Sacramento’s (City) publicly available pay schedule identifies job classifications that have been approved by City Council (e.g., accountant, administrative assistant) and the hourly rates of pay for each classification at each step. The requested change to the publicly available pay schedule is a result of the changes outlined below under the benefit summaries section.
Authorized Position List:
The Authorized Position List FY 2023/24 reflects the following proposed amendments:
Capital Projects Title change Engineer Series (Junior/Assistant/Associate/Senior) to Engineer Series (Assistant/Associate/Senior).
City Manager's Office Title change Engineer Series (Junior/Assistant/Associate/Senior) to Engineer Series (Assistant/Associate/Senior), IT Business Services Coordinator to Information Technology Business Services Manager, Program Associate to Program Technician I/II, Technical Support Specialist I/II to Technical Support Specialist I/II/III.

CM Authority – Vacation Accrual Tier Placement for New Unrepresented Employees:
If the City Manager’s authority to place management employees at a higher level of vacation accrual upon hire is expanded to all unrepresented groups (Executive Management, Management, Safety Management, Confidential, and Specialists & Professionals) the following guidelines already applied to managers would be applied to all employees in these groups for considering an increased accrual schedule:
Years of service as a public employee;
Vacation accrual rate at the last employer;
Proposed placement in the salary range; and
Any unique circumstances that bear consideration.
Administrative Policy II-D-3 Expansion:
The expansion of the Exceptional Performance Pay program to include all unrepresented employee groups is designed to allow the City Manager to reward unrepresented employees for exceptional performance and to encourage a culture of excellence across all departments. The criteria for an award outlined in the existing policy language would continue to apply, thought the procedure is revised slightly to correspond to current practice. (See Attachment 9.)
Environmental Considerations
Not applicable.
Commission Recommendation
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Integration
These recommendations support the City Council’s Mission to provide Quality Municipal Services and a City government that is financially sound with a superior workforce.
Alternatives
The City Council may choose to not approve or to delay consideration of the proposed Benefit Summaries and Classification Plan changes and may choose to not approve the Authorized Position List for Fiscal Year 2023/24.
Coordination and Review
This report has been coordinated by the City Manager's Office (Human Resources Division) and the Finance Department.
Budget/Cost Impact
The proposed changes to the benefits summaries and classification plans for unrepresented employee groups result in one-time costs of $359,236 and ongoing costs of $1,178,490 in FY 2023/24 and one-time costs of $376,037 and annual ongoing costs of $2,131,958 in FY 2024/25 across all City Funds. The General Fund impact is estimated at $181,858 one-time and $654,178 ongoing in FY 2023/24 and $191,317 one-time and $1,149,373 ongoing in FY 2024/25, including estimated cost allocation increases for increases to the General Support Fund expenditures. Actual costs will be trued up at fiscal year-end based on approved cost allocation methodology.
The costs identified above include all changes to benefit summaries. There is no proposed budget amendment at this time for the expansion of the pay for performance program to all unrepresented labor groups (excluding Executive Management, City Manager, and City Council). Over the past several years, the total cost of this program utilized for Management only has been just under $40,000. Assuming a 10% utilization rate by the qualifying employee groups, the annual cost is estimated at $40,500 annually ($15,600 General Fund). There is sufficient capacity in the budgeted General Fund contingency, and the leave payout contingencies in all other funds, to cover any potential use of this program in FY 2023/24. Utilization rate will be monitored, and an annual budget for pay for performance awards will be developed and proposed to Council as part of the mid-term budget process next year should the use not be covered by existing contingency budgets. 217
Consideration of Proposed Benefit Summaries, Publicly Available Pay Schedule, and APL For Fiscal Year 23/24 & 24/25.

Commented [RR2]: Have you determined whether this will
apply to employees hired before or after a certain date? I think a date is important to set the expectation as to whether this is retroactively applied to existing employees. Perhaps you can make it effective for new hires after Council approval? Or is that implied?
