SUBJECT:
Funding Agreements with the Riverside County Transportation Commission for the Clinton Keith Rd. Widening and Bundy Canyon Rd. Improvement, Segments 2 and 3, Projects
SUBMITTED BY:
Jason Farag
PREPARED BY:
Jason Farag
ACTION:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute the following agreements with the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC):
Agreement for the Funding of TUMF and Measure A Regional Arterial Improvements with the City of Wildomar for Clinton Keith Road Widening Project Agreement for the Funding of Measure A Regional Arterial Improvements with the City of Wildomar for Bundy Canyon Road Improvement Project, Segment 2 Agreement for the Funding of Measure A Regional Arterial Improvements with the City of Wildomar for Bundy Canyon Road Improvement Project, Segment 3
2. Authorize the City Manager to approve and execute amendments related to each of the three agreements that are non-substantive in nature.
3. Approve budget appropriations and increases in revenue budgets for Fund 508 to allocate available grant funds to the three projects as identified in the Fiscal Impact and Account Code sections of this staff report.
SUMMARY:
The City of Wildomar was recently awarded grant funds from the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) for the construction of the Clinton Keith Rd. Widening and Bundy Canyon Rd. Improvement, Segments 2 and 3, Projects. Funding agreements for the grant funding must now be executed between the City and RCTC.
BACKGROUND:
In April 2023, the City of Wildomar submitted three grant funding applications to the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) under their 2023 Measure A Regional Arterials 254
Call for Projects. The City's applications included construction funding requests for the Clinton Keith Rd. Widening Project, the Bundy Canyon Rd. Improvement Project, Segment 2, and the Bundy Canyon Rd. Improvement Project, Segment 3.
The City's funding requests for the Clinton Keith Rd. Widening Project and the Bundy Canyon Rd. Improvement Project, Segment 2, were both approved. In addition, partial funding for the Bundy Canyon Rd. Widening Project, Segment 3, was also approved.
DISCUSSION:
The next step in the grant award process is to execute funding agreements with RCTC for each of the three projects that will receive funding. Among other things, the funding agreements identify the total funding that each project will receive from RCTC, the City's local matching fund commitment, the fund source (TUMF and/or Measure A), and other provisions that will govern the City's receipt and use of the funds. Copies of the three funding agreements are included as Attachment A (Clinton Keith Rd.), Attachment B (Bundy Canyon Rd., Segment 2), and Attachment C (Bundy Canyon Rd., Segment 3).
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute all three agreements with RCTC and to execute future amendments related to each agreement that are non-substantive in nature.
Staff also recommends that the City Council approve budget appropriations and increases in revenue budgets for Fund 508 (Local Grants) to allocate available grant funds to the three projects as identified in the Fiscal Impact and Account Code sections of this staff report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the Clinton Keith Rd. Widening Project and the Bundy Canyon Rd. Improvement Project, Segment 2, is included in the adopted 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY 23/24. Both projects included an unfunded amount for construction in FY 24/25. The RCTC grants will fully fund the previously unfunded balance. The local match identified in each of the two agreements is already included in the approved 5-Year CIP.
The Bundy Canyon Rd. Improvement Project, Segment 3, is also included in the adopted 5- Year CIP for FY 23/24. The Segment 3 project included an unfunded amount of $15,110,598 for construction in FY 24/25. The RCTC grant will provide partial funding of $8,050,420 and reduce the unfunded balance to $7,060,178. The City will continue to seek the necessary remaining funds for construction and by accepting the RCTC grant funds, the City is agreeing to fund 48% of the total final construction cost as the local match.
Revised 5-Year CIP Project Detail Sheets reflecting the updated budgets for each of the three projects are included in Attachment D.

CC - REGULAR MEETING
CONSENT CALENDAR
Agenda Staff Report # 1.10
Meeting Date: November
8, 2023
SUBJECT:
Services Agreement for Employment Application Management Software with Governmentjobs.com, Inc. (D/B/A/ NEOGOV).
SUBMITTED BY:
Emily Wolf
PREPARED BY:
Emily Wolf
ACTION:
Authorize the City Manager to enter into an Order Form and Agreement with NeoGov, Inc. for employment applicant tracking software.
SUMMARY:
This item enters into an agreement for employment application tracking software.
BACKGROUND:
NeoGov, Inc. is employment applicant tracking software developed specifically for public sector agencies. The software provides a platform to post job opportunities, house classification descriptions, and feeds directly to both Governmentjobs.com and Indeed.com for job posting advertisements. The software provides an organized applicant tracking system and communication tools to help provide a successful recruitment process. Additionally, the job opportunity postings and classification descriptions are linked directly from the City’s website for a seamless integration.
In order to continue to provide a high level of customer service as the City expands, the need to attract highly qualified candidates remains a high priority. The City’s current employment recruiting process is outdated, requiring applicants to download, fill out, and submit an application as an attachment via email.
Tracking applications and communicating with applicants on the City side is a manual process, requiring a significant amount of time to ensure all applications are reviewed and applicants are contacted throughout the course of the recruitment. Additionally, classification descriptions are currently kept on the City’s Human Resources share drive and are not accessible by all employees. Employees use classification descriptions to help identify the 324
essential duties and expectations of their position.
DISCUSSION:
NeoGov, Inc. provides an employee recruitment platform that is a public sector industry standard, utilized by more than 6,000 public agencies. The NeoGov platform allows applicants to submit their job history and education, and attach additional documents such as certifications, resumes, or cover letters in a standard format. It also allows the City to customize the process, asking additional qualifying questions specific to each recruitment.
NeoGov’s employee recruitment platform allows applicants to track their progress and allows HR staff to communicate and schedule interviews with applicants in an efficient manner. The NeoGov platform also provides a mechanism for housing job descriptions for all positions in an easily accessible location, available to all employees and the public.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The attached Ordering Document is for a term of 30 months at a total of $11,719.47. The fiscal impact for fiscal year 2023-24 is $3,171.22, which includes the initial setup fee, as well as the platform licensing and Governmentjobs.com subscription for recruitment advertisements for the remainder of the year. The contracted rate for fiscal year 2024-25 is $2,757.50 and for fiscal year 2025-26 the rate is $5,790.75. Sufficient funds are available in the current fiscal year budget.

SUBJECT:
COVID-19 Prevention Program Update Based on Non-
Emergency Regulations
SUBMITTED BY:
Emily Wolf
PREPARED BY:
Emily Wolf
ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 2023 - ____
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR, CALIFORNIA, RATIFYING THE ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY TITLED CITY OF WILDOMAR COVID-19
PREVENTION PROGRAM
SUMMARY:
This action will approve the non-emergency COVID-19 Prevention Program required by the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board.
BACKGROUND:
On December 15, 2022, the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board (Cal/OSHA) voted to adopt non-emergency COVID-19 prevention regulations. These regulations took effect on February 3, 2023, and will remain in effect for two years after the effective date, except for the recordkeeping subsections that will remain in effect for three years.
On February 8, 2023, the Wildomar City Council approved a resolution terminating the local emergency proclamation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. With the termination of the local emergency, the City is now required to update the City’s COVID Prevention Plan to include regulatory requirements set in place by Cal/OSHA as outlined in the non-emergency COVID-19 prevention regulations. These regulations include some of the same requirements 330
found in the COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS), most recently approved by the Wildomar City Council in Resolution 2020-30, as well as new provisions aimed at making it easier for employers to provide consistent protections to workers and allow for flexibility if changes are made to guidance in the future from the California Department of Public Health.
DISCUSSION:
Cal/OSHA protects and improves the health and safety of working individuals in California.
When the State of California was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Cal/OSHA put in place a set of regulations for workers and employers to ensure their safety with hopes of reducing the impact of COVID-19 on the workplace. Once the pandemic was determined to be over, Cal/OSHA approved California Code of Regulations, Title 8, sections 3205 to 3205.3, also known as the COVID-19 Infection Prevention Non-Emergency Regulations. These regulations are similar to the emergency standards, with a few changes. The highlighted differences include:
Definitions for certain terms, such as “close contact” and “infectious period”; Training and instruction regarding COVID-19;
Investigating COVID-19 illnesses in the workplace; and
Reporting and recordkeeping
In order to comply with these regulations and continue to provide a safe and healthy workplace, the City is updating the current COVID-19 Prevention Program to address these changes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact associated with approving the updated COVID-19 Prevention Program.

An investigation will be conducted to determine who may have had close contact with COVID-19 case.
All employees who had potential COVID-19 close contact in our workplace will be:
• Informed of their possible exposure to COVID -19 in the workplace while maintaining confidentiality, including independent contractors and volunteers. • Offered COVID -19 testing through their health provider or if not covered by insurance offered testing through another provider at no cost during their working hours.

Reporting the Potential Exposure to Other Employees
The City of Wildomar will comply with all reporting and recording obligations as required under the law, including, but not limited to, reporting the COVID -19 case to the following individuals and institutions as required based on the individual circumstances: (1) employees who were present at a worksite when the COVID-19 case was present; and (2) subcontracted employees who were present at the worksite.
The City of Wildomar will provide COVID-19 testing at no cost to employees during their working hours to all employees who had potential COVID-19 close contact at a worksite.
Investigation to Determine Whether Workplace Conditions Contributed to COVID - 19 Exposure
The City of Wildomar will conduct an investigation in order to determine whether any worksite conditions could have contributed to the risk of COVID -19 exposure and what could be done to reduce exposure to COVID-19 hazards.
EXCLUSION OF COVID-19 CASES
Where we have a COVID-19 case in our workplace and, in the event of an outbreak , all employees within an Exposed Group who had a close contact, will be excluded from the workplace until our return-to-work requirements are met.
Additionally, we will continue and maintain an employee's earnings, seniority, and all other employee rights and benefits whenever we've demonstrated that the COVID-19 exposure is work related.
RETURN-TO-WORK CRITERIA
The City of Wildomar will ensure that COVID-19 cases are excluded from the worksite until the individual satisfies the minimum return to work criteria as noted below:. • COVID-19 cases who do not develop COVID -19 symptoms shall not return to work during their infectious period;;
• COVID-19 Cases who develop COVID -19 Symptoms shall not return to work during the shorter of the following: (1) the Infectious Period; or (2) through 10 days after the onset of symptoms and at least 24 hours have passed since a fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher has resolved without the use of fever - reducing medication.

COVID-19 PREVENTION PLAN (CPP) FOR
THE CITY OF WILDOMAR
U pdated on N ovember 8, 2023
have passed since the date that COVID -19 Symptoms began or, if the COVID -19 Case did not present COVID-19 Symptoms, from the date of their first positive COVID-19 test.
The above requirements shall apply regardless of whether an employee has previously been excluded from the workplace or the City of Wildomar took other precautions in response to an employee's Close Contact or membership in an exposed group.
The City of Wildomar will provide a COVID-19 Case that is excluded from the workplace information regarding COVID-19-related benefits to which the employee may be entitled under applicable federal, state, or local laws. The City of Wildomar will provide the employee information on any benefits available under legally mandated sick leave, if applicable, workers ' compensation law, local government requirements, the City of Wildomar's own leave policies, and leave guaranteed by contract Close Contact Exposure
The City of Wildomar reviews current CDPH guidance for employees who had a Close Contact, including guidance regarding required or recommended quarantines and other measures intended to reduce the transmission of COVID-19.
The City of Wildomar will provide any employee who had a close contact and must be excluded from the workplace information regarding COVID -19-related benefits to which the employee may be entitled under applicable federal, state, or local laws. The City of Wildomar will provide the employee information on any benefits available under legally mandated sick leave, if applicable, workers ' compensation law, local government requirements, the City of Wildomar own leave policies, and leave guaranteed by contract
ISOLATION, QUARANTINE AND EXCLUSION ORDERS
If an order to isolate, quarantine, or exclude an employee is issued by a local or state health official, the City of Wildomar will not allow any employee who is subject to such order to report to work until the employee satisfies the isolation or quarantine requirements or the order is lifted.
If no violations of local or state health official orders for isolation, quarantine, or exclusion would result, the City of Wildomar may request that DOSH allow employees to return to work on the basis that the removal of an employee would create undue risk to a community's health and safety.
In such cases, the City of Wildomar would implement effective control measures in order to prevent the transmission of COVID -19 in the workplace, includi ng isolating the employee at the workplace and, if isolation is not feasible, using respirators.
NOTICE OF WORKPLACE EXPOSURES
When Labor Code §6409.6 or any successor law is in effect, in the event of a workplace COVID-19 exposure, the City of Wildomar will provide notice to employees and the employers of independent contractors who were present at the Worksite at the same time as the COVID -19 Case. The City of Wildomar will provide such notice in a form readily understandable to employees, as required by Labor Code §6409.6. 341
COVID-19 PREVENTION PLAN (CPP) FOR
THE CITY OF WILDOMAR
U pdated on N ovember 8, 2023
When Labor Code §6409.6 or any successor law is in effect, in the event of a workplace COVID-19 exposure, the City of Wildo mar will provide notice to the authorized representative, if any, of the COVID-19 Case and of any employee who had a workplace COVID-19 exposure as a result of the COVID-19 Case.
CORRECTION OF COVID-19 HAZARDS
The City of Wildomar will implement effective policies and/or procedures for correcting unsafe or unhealthy conditions, work practices, policies and procedures in a timely manner based on the severity of the hazard.
This includes, but is not limited to, implementing controls and/or policies and procedures in response to the evaluations conducted related to the identification and evaluation of COVID-19 hazards and investigating and responding to COVID -19 cases at City worksites.
FACE COVERINGS
The City of Wildomar shall provide face coverings to all employees upon request and ensure they are worn by employees when required by orders from CDPH. Employees will ensure required face coverings are clean and undamaged, and they are worn over the nose and mouth. If a face covering is in need of replacement, employees should contact their supervisor to request a new face covering.
When employees are required to wear face coverings, the following exceptions apply:
A. When an employee is alone in a room or vehicle.
B. While eating or drinking at the workplace, provided employees are at least six feet apart and outside air supply to the area, if indoors, has been maximized to the extent feasible.
C. Employees wearing respirators required by the employer and used in compliance with CCR Title 8 §5144.
D. Employees who cannot wear face coverings due to a medical or mental health condition or disability or who are hearing- impaired or communicating with a hearing-impaired person. Alternatives will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The City of Wildomar will not prevent or discourage any employee from wearing a Face Covering, including a Respirator, when the use of such a Face Covering is not required by a regulation or order from the CDPH or local health department. 342
COVID-19 PREVENTION PLAN (CPP) FOR
THE CITY OF WILDOMAR
U pdated on N ovember 8, 2023
Notwithstanding the above, the City of Wildomar may prevent an employee from wearing a Face Covering if the use of such Face Covering would create a safety hazard.
RESPIRATORS
Upon request, the City of Wildomar shall provide any employee who is working indoors or in a vehicle with more than one person a respirator for the employee's voluntary use.
The City of Wildomar will provide such respirators at no cost to the employee.
However, the City of Wildomar will not provide an employee with a respirator if the City of Wildomar determines that the employee's use of such respirator will itself create a hazard.
If the City of Wildomar determines that any voluntary respirator use is permissible, the City of Wildomar will provide the employee information contained in Appendix D to Title 8, §5144 ("Information for Employees Using Respirators When Not Required Under the Standard"). The City of Wildomar will ensure that the employee is provided with a respirator of the correct size, that the employee is trained how to properly wear the respirator provided, that the employee knows how to perform a seal check according to the manufacturer 's instructions each time a respirator is worn, and that the employee understands that facial hair interferes with a seal.
As part of the provision of respirator s, the City of Wildomar will establish and implement those elements of a written respiratory protection program necessary to ensure that any employee using a respirator voluntarily is medically able to use that respirator, and that the respirator is cleaned, stored, and maintained so that its use does not present a health hazard to the employee.
The City of Wildomar will provide respirators, training, and medical evaluations at no cost to the employee.
VENTILATION
The City of Wildomar will monitor and review CDPH and DOSH guidance regarding ventilation for indoor workplaces, including, but not limited to, the "Interim Guidance for Ventilation, Filtration, and Air Quality in Indoor Environments." The City of Wildomar will evaluate whether current indoor ventilation is adequate in order to reduce the risk of transmission of SARS -CoC-2 if a COVID -19 Case enters the workplace. Where such indoor ventilation is not adequate, the City of Wildomar will implement changes as necessary to provide adequate ventilation.
The City of Wildomar will require that employees who use vehicles for work -related purposes maximize the supply of outside air inside the vehicle to the extent feasi ble, except when doing so would cause a hazard to employees or expose them to inclement weather.
In the event of a workplace COVID-19 outbreak, the City of Wildomar will comply with the ventilation requirements below, which are set forth at §3205.1. 343
COVID-19 PREVENTION PLAN (CPP) FOR
THE CITY OF WILDOMAR
U pdated on N ovember 8, 2023
For the purpose of determining whether there exists an " outbreak," the City of Wildomar will consider an "outbreak" to mean three (3) or more employee COVID-19 Cases within an exposed group who have visited the Worksite during their Infectious Period during any seven-day period. The City of Wildomar will use this definition unless a CDPH regulation or order defines the term " outbreak" using a different number of COVID -19 Cases or a different time period for determining the existence of a workplace COVID-19 outbreak.

CC - REGULAR MEETING
CONSENT CALENDAR
Agenda Staff Report # 1.12
Meeting Date: November
8, 2023
SUBJECT:
Service Agreement with AppleOne for Temporary Employee
Staffing Services
SUBMITTED BY:
Heidi Schrader
PREPARED BY:
Heidi Schrader
ACTION:
Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Service Agreement with AppleOne for Temporary Staffing Services
SUMMARY:
This Service Agreement extends the City's agreement with AppleOne to provide Temporary Staffing services to deliver municipal service and project assistance on a short term basis.
BACKGROUND:
The City has executed year-to-year agreements with AppleOne to provide Temporary staffing at City facilities. These positions have included reception and customer service, assisting the City Clerk
, Accounting assistance, and other general administrative services. AppleOne provides recruiting, background checks, payroll, evaluation, training, ACA compliance, and quality control of employees, reducing the City's administrative burden related to hiring and retaining short term staff.
DISCUSSION:
The services provided by AppleOne meet the standards established by the City and both parties desire to enter a new agreement. Execution of this agreement sets the fee for all Temporary Service Positions at 55% markup over the Temporary Employee's pay rate. For a Payroll Service Position, the fee would be 40% markup over the Temporary Employee's pay rate. It also sets forth the cost to convert a Temporary Employee to a full-time City employee, should such conversion meet City operational needs. The conversion fee lowers as the length of the Temporary Employee's tenure with the City increases, leading to a fee of 7% of starting annual salary for a Temporary Employee that has worked for the City in excess of 720 hours.
Attachment A includes the proposed Agreement with AppleOne for Temporary Staffing 360
services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is estimated that 1400 hours of temporary assistance staffing would cost approximately $56,000. Sufficient funds are available as salary savings to offset this cost if needed.

1.4 Client and AppleOne acknowledge that through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended (“ACA”), and regulations promulgated thereby, statutory requirements have been imposed upon certain employers of certain employees working in the United States. AppleOne is committed to fulfilling its ACA obligations through offering ACA -compliant benefits to eligible contingent workers, including Temporary Employees. In demonstrating Client’s commitment to ACA compliance, Client agrees to share in ACA -related costs by paying a $0.54 surcharge for each hour of service provided by each Temporary Employee. The surcharge will be billed to Client in a separate line item on the invoice.
1.5 Federal, state or local laws, either currently existing or enacted in the future, may require AppleOne or Client to provide one or more Temporary Employees with certain paid sick, quarantine or COVID-19-related leave (Each such law is a “Paid Leave Law.”). AppleOne and Client agree to comply with all provisions of each Paid Leave Law with respect to Temporary Employees as such laws become effective. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, to address the costs for compliance with a Paid Leave Law, the parties agree that AppleOne will invoice Client for the paid leave of a Temporary Employee according to the bill rate that AppleOne charges for such employee provided that the criteria required for the payment of leave to such employee under applicable law has been met.
1.6 Intentionally omitted.
1.7 The parties agree that upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Client, pricing under thi s Agreement may change if AppleOne’s expenses for statutory or other fixed costs increase, or if new or additional statutory or government-imposed taxes, fees or costs are incurred by AppleOne after the effective date of the Agreement.
These taxes, fees or costs may include, but are not limited to those related to: Workers’ Compensation Insurance, State Unemployment Insurance, federal, state or local taxes, regulations or ordinances (including but not limited to Wage Determinations, Health & Welfare Benefit s, Service Contract Labor Standards (formerly known as the McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act of 1965), vacation pay, Paid Leave Laws or minimum wage laws), or an increase in the ACA surcharge. The parties agree that such written notice may be in the for m of an electronic communication, including email.
Temporary Employees must work at the job site of the original assignment. An authorized AppleOne representative must approve, in writing, any change in job site or job duties in advance of such change.

Such direct hire services shall be referred to as the “Direct Hire Services.” Decisions regarding whether to hire candidate(s) referred by AppleOne, as well as any and all compensation and benefits to be offered to such candidate(s), shall be made by Client, and not by AppleOne.
3.2 AppleOne will perform reference checks and other such screening as AppleOne deems reasonably necessary to determine the qualifications and suitability of the candidate(s) prior to their placement at Client.
Reference checks for the candidate(s) will be based entirely upon application information provided by the candidate(s).

Except as specifically provided herein, any other checks, screenings, or tests (e.g., drug, health, credit, criminal, and/or skills) (collectively, “Background Checks”) will not be performed on candidate(s). Upon Client’s written request, and AppleOne’s written agreement to such request, AppleOne can arrange, for an additional fee, to have lawful, Client-specified Background Checks performed on candidate(s). The fee for any agreed- upon Background Checks shall be determined by AppleOne at the time of Client’s request and shall be paid by Client at the time such service is performed by AppleOne and/or its preferred third party vendor(s). AppleOne shall have no liability in connection with the acts or omissions of third-party vendor(s) who perform any Background Checks
3.3 AppleOne provides its Direct Hire Services in compliance with its obligations as an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.

AppleOne also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements.
3.4 Except as otherwise set forth in the A greement, Client agrees that a fee for AppleOne’s Direct Hire Services (“Direct Hire Fee”) shall be deemed earned by AppleOne when a candidate referred by AppleOne to Client is employed by Client or its subsidiary or other affiliated entity at any time within six (6) months from the date AppleOne provided the identity of such candidate to Client. This Direct Hire Fee shall be earned and due to AppleOne regardless of the position in which the candidate is hired, even if such position is different than the position for which the candidate was originally referred. In addition, u nless Client presents written evidence to AppleOne of Client prior knowledge of an AppleOne referred candidate either: i) within three (3) business days of AppleOne’s referral of such candidate to Client or ii) prior to Client’s interview of such candidate, whichever is earlier, Client understands and agrees that Client is liable for the payment of any Direct Hire Fee due to AppleOne for such candidate pursuant to this Agreement.
3.5 Client agrees that the Direct Hire Fee for an AppleOne referred candidate under the terms of this Agreement is equal to a percentage of such candidate’s first year annualized salary as set forth in the table below.

City of Wildomar Page 8 of 8 AppleOne Confidential and Proprietary Information Legal/SRiley ETD\SN 2023.10.19
3.6 Client agrees that payment for Direct Hire Services is due net ten (10) calendar days following receipt of invoice or the candidate’s start date, whichever is later. Client understands and agrees that a default charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month may be imposed on any balance that remains unpaid after thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Client agrees to pay any such default charge(s) and any costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees.
3.7 “5•50 Assurance Plan” Terms and Conditions:

Client must also notify A ppleOne in writing within five (5) calendar days of a candidate’s termination, resignation, promotion or relocation date, as applicable, should Client wish to utilize the 5•50 Assurance Plan.
i. 30 Calendar Days – Free Replacement or Full Refund: Upon termination or resignation of the original candidate within the first thirty (30) calendar days of employment, AppleOne will provide either a one-time free replacement for the same vacated position or a full refund of the Direct Hire Fee paid for the original candidate.
ii. 31 to 90 Calendar Days – Free Replacement or Prorated Refund: Upon termination or resignation of the original candidate between thirty -one (31) and ninety (90) calendar days, AppleOne will provide either a one-time free replacement for the same vacated position or a prorated refund of the Direct Hire Fee paid for the original candidate. The prorated refund will be based on the number of calendar days remaining after termination or resignation within the ninety (90) day period (1/90th of the fee per calendar day).
iii. 91 Calendar Days to 5 Years - 50% Discount: Upon termination, resignation, or promotion of the original candidate between ninety -one (91) calendar days and five ( 5) years, AppleOne will offer a one-time replacement of the same vacated position at a 50% discount.

CC - REGULAR MEETING
CONSENT CALENDAR
Agenda Staff Report # 1.13
Meeting Date: November
8, 2023
SUBJECT:
Legislative Update Change to Personnel Rules - Part Time Sick Leave
SUBMITTED BY:
Heidi Schrader
PREPARED BY:
Heidi Schrader
ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 2023 - ___
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR, CALIFORNIA,
REVISING THE CITY'S PERSONNEL RULES
SUMMARY:
Amends the personnel rules to comply with recent California Paid Sick Leave Requirements relating to paid sick days and paid sick leave. City's Personnel Rules relative to Sick Leave for Part-Time and Temporary Employees (Rule XII.F.3.g and h) are being amended to comply with SB 616..
BACKGROUND:
The City of Wildomar last amended the Personnel Rules in October 2023 as part of a global revamp of the rules that guide the City's personnel and employment practices. In the time since the Rules were amended, the State of California approved SB 616 which amends Sections 245.5, 246 and 246.5 of the State Labor Code related to employment. In order to remain compliant with these amended sections, the City's Personnel Rules as they relate to Sick Leave for Part-Time and Temporary Employees (Rule XII.F.3.g and h) must be revised.
DISCUSSION:
Employers are required to provide paid sick leave to workers in California under the Healthy Workplace Healthy Family Act of 2014 (HWHFA) as amended by SB616. The City is required to accrue at least one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours an employee works. At the same time, an employer may limit the amount of paid sick leave an employee can use in one year to 40 hours or five days, whichever is more. An employer must allow accrued unused paid sick 370
leave to be carried over to the next year, but a cap on carry over hours of no less than 80 hours or ten days is permitted. Based on these requirements, the Rules will be revised to increase the amount of sick leave part-time and temporary employees may use from up to 24 hours to 40 hours of accrued paid sick leave during a calendar year. At the same time, unused paid sick leave carried over from calendar year to calendar year with a maximum paid sick leave bank will be revised from 48 to 80 hours.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no significant fiscal impact associated with these changes.

The classification/compensation plan need not be contained in only one document, but may be comprised of various documents. The classification/compensation plan shall consist of classes of positions defined by class specifications, including the title. The classification/compensation plan shall be so developed and maintained that all positions substantially similar with respect to duties, responsibilities, authority, and character of work are included within the same class, and that the same schedules of compensation may be made to apply with equity under similar working conditions to all positions in the same class. The 385
City of Wildomar Personnel Rules
October 2023
classification/compensation plan will contain the general salary schedule and a general benefits schedule.
B. Adoption, Amendment and Revision of Plan. The classification/compensation plan shall be adopted by and may be amended from time to time by resolution of the City Council. At the time of consideration by the City Council, any interested party may appear and be heard. Revisions to the classification/compensation plan may consist of the addition, abolishment, consolidation, division, or amendment of existing classes.
C. Allocation of Positions. Following the adoption of the classification/compensation plan, the Personnel Officer shall allocate every position in the employ of the City to one of the classes established by the plan.
D. New Positions. A new position shall not be created and filled until the classification/compensation plan has been amended to provide for such position.
E. Job Descriptions. The Administrative Services Director, in consultation with Department Heads, will prepare written specifications for each classification of positions to the City Manager for review. Subject to City Council approval, the specifications, when approved by the City Manager, will constitute the official classification specifications and will indicate the date of approval or last revision.
Each specification will include the classification title, a brief description of the scope, nature, and responsibility of the class, a description of the tasks or duties ordinarily performed in the positions allocated to the classification; a statement of the minimum qualifications considered necessary for proficient performance of the work, including education, experience, training, knowledge, skills, physical characteristics, and any additional factors considered pertinent. Specifications are not restrictive. The specifications, shall not be construed as an all-inclusive list of tasks performed; or be interpreted as restricting the assignment of related tasks not specifically listed therein; or as limiting the authority of supervisory personnel to assign, direct and control the work of subordinate employees. A Department Head may temporarily assign other related duties and responsibilities or otherwise direct the work of employees.
F. Reclassification. Positions, the assigned duties of which have been materially changed by the City so as to necessitate reclassification, whether new or already created, shall be allocated by the Personnel Officer to a more appropriate class.

RULE V. COMPENSATION
A. Salary on Appointment.
1. New Employees. New employees shall be paid at the first step of the salary range for the position to which the employee is appointed except as approved by the City Manager or their designee.
2. Advanced Step Hiring. The City Manager may appoint a new employee to an advanced step of the pay range if it is determined that qualified applicants cannot be successfully recruited at the first step of the salary range.
3. Reemployment/Reinstatement. A person who previously held a position with the City and resigned in good standing may, at the discretion of the City Manager, when re-employed in the same or a comparable position held at separation, be appointed at the same salary rate which was paid at the effective date of the person's termination or the nearest lower applicable step for the range to which the person is appointed.
B. Salary Anniversary Dates. Employees shall have a salary anniversary date on the date of their most recent appointment, promotion, demotion, reinstatement or reemployment. The salary anniversary date may be modified by the action of the appointing authority under Rule X.H.
C. Increases Within Salary Range. Employees will normally become eligible for a merit adjustment in pay after 12 months of service. Increases shall not be automatic, and are based on merit. The adjustment shall be made only if recommended by the applicable Department Head, and, if approved, by the City Manager. The subsequent adjustments are based on performance evaluation, to encourage an employee to perform at the employee’s highest level, and to recognize increased skill on the job. Employees are normally eligible for these adjustments any time after the completion of 12 months of service. This period may be modified in conjunction with the performance evaluation recommendations and as approved by the City Manager. Unless so modified, a granted merit adjustment will be effective on the employee’s salary anniversary date. The City Manager, in their sole discretion, may determine that an increase within range will be retroactive in effect to the employee’s salary anniversary date or to another appropriate date.
D. Salary Upon Promotion. Except in instances where the granting of a full step increase would result in a salary in excess of the top step of the range, any employee who is promoted to a position in a class with a higher salary range shall be placed on the step in the new higher range which is at least equal to an advancement of a full step over the step the employee held in their former range. If the maximum of the range would be exceeded by such advancement, the 387
City of Wildomar Personnel Rules

employee shall receive the top step of the range. An employee thus promoted is assigned to a new salary anniversary date effective on the date of promotion.
E. Salary Upon Transfer. Any employee who is transferred from one position to another position in the same class, or to another position in a class having the same salary range, shall be compensated at the same step of the salary range as the employee previously received and their salary anniversary date shall not change.
F. Salary on Change in Range Assignment. Whenever a class is reassigned to either a higher or lower salary range by the Council, the salary of each incumbent in such class on the date the reassignment is effective shall be adjusted to the salary position in the new range that corresponds to the salary the employee was receiving in the former range and the employee shall retain the same salary anniversary date.
G. Salary on Reallocation of Position. If the position is reallocated to a class having the same salary range, the salary and the salary anniversary date of the incumbent shall not change. If the position is reallocated to a class which has a higher salary range, the City Manager shall adjust the salary of the incumbent employee to fit the higher salary range which is at least as much as the employee was receiving in the former range and the employee shall retain the same salary anniversary date. If the position is reallocated to a class with a lower salary range, and the employee's salary exceeds the top step of the class to which their position is reallocated, their salary shall not change until it is exceeded by the top step of the class. The employee's salary anniversary date shall not change.
H. Salary on Demotion. Any employee who is demoted to a position in a class with a lower salary range shall have their salary adjusted by one the following three methods:
1. If a disciplinary demotion, the employee's salary may be reduced. A new salary anniversary date shall be established on the basis of the demotion.
2. If a non-disciplinary demotion, the employee's salary may be reduced. The employee shall retain their salary anniversary date.
3. In the discretion of the Personnel Officer, a demoted employee's salary may be y-rated. A y-rated salary is one that is paid above the maximum established salary range for the incumbent's classification. An employee whose salary is y-rated will retain their current rate of pay until such time that the class has a higher maximum salary rate.
I. Acting Pay. An employee who is required on the basis of an acting appointment to serve in a class with a higher salary range than that of the class in which the employee is normally assigned, shall receive the entrance salary rate of the higher salary range or one rate higher than the rate the employee normally receives, whichever is greater, provided the employee shall perform all the duties and 388

J. Bilingual Pay. Employees in certain classifications, as determined at the City’s sole discretion, may be eligible to receive $100.00 per month as bilingual pay premium.
To receive the bilingual pay premium, an employee in one of the foregoing classifications shall successfully complete a language proficiency examination, selected at the City’s sole discretion. Upon successfully completing such proficiency examination, the eligible employee shall receive the bilingual pay premium effective on the following pay period.
The City, at its sole discretion, shall determine which languages qualify for bilingual premium pay.
K. Special Salary Adjustments.

L. Cost of Living Adjustment. Effective July 1, 2024, City Council, at its sole discretion, will consider providing a Cost of Living Adjustment (“COLA”) to all employees on annual basis during its regularly scheduled meeting in July of each year.
