STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER
DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2021
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS NO. 2021-49 ESTABLISHING
ANNUAL SALARY AND BENEFITS FOR CLASSIFICATIONS IN THE
UNREPRESENTED MIDDLE MANAGEMENT, PROFESSIONAL,
AND CONFIDENTIAL SERVICE THROUGH JUNE 30, 2023, AND
RESOLUTION NO. 2021-51 ESTABLISHING SALARY AND
BENEFITS FOR PART-TIME EMPLOYEES
SUMMARY
Resolution No. 2021-49 describes the salary and benefits for Middle Management, Professional,
and Confidential (MMPC) employees effective July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023, while
Resolution No. 2021-51 describes the salary and benefits for all Part -Time employees of the City.
DISCUSSION
The MMPC group of employees are unrepresented and therefore do not bargain for terms and
conditions of their employment. However, traditionally, the group has received compensation
consideration and benefit changes afforded to represented employees within the City. Further, in
recognition of the increased responsibilities assigned to these positions and in -lieu of paid
overtime, additional benefits have been granted to this group of employees. The attached
resolution specifies salary and benefits for the classifications within this group. In addition to
various language clean-up and updates, Resolution 2021-49 (Attachment A) has been reformatted
to include a table of contents, is organized by categories (Opening, Compensation, Benefits,
Schedules/Leaves, and Other), and has replaced `Team Member' with `employee' throughout the
document. The key terms of the Resolution are described below.
MIDDLE MANAGEMENT. PROFESSIONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL GROUP
Opening Section:
• Applicability — This updated section provides clarifying language regarding the
Resolution, updates the list of classifications to remove obsolete positions, and designates
remaining positions as either A) Management and B) Supervisory, Professional and
Confidential.

• Severability and Non -Discrimination — As part of the updating language throughout the
Resolution, these sections have been added.
Compensation:
• Step Implementation — As proposed, a step system will replace the current salary range
system for all positions within the Group. The step system consists of 10 merit steps at 3%
intervals.
• Salary Increase — Upon the implementation of the step system, proposed for October 31,
2021, the top step will be increased by 3% which provides growth for employees currently
at the top of the current range at their next annual evaluation. On November 1, 2021, and
June 27, 2022, all employees will receive a 2% salary increase.
• Performance Evaluations — Language was added to provide a six-month re-evaluation if a
step increase is denied at time of performance evaluation and provides a solution to the
impact of late evaluations on merit increases.
• Promotions and Reclassifications — Added language to provide for promotions and
reclassifications.
• Acting Pay — Added language to provide acting pay for employees assigned to positions in
a temporary acting capacity with compensation after 12 workdays paid retroactively to the
first day of acting assignment.
• Bilingual Pay — The City currently provides $75/month to qualified employees who
consistently utilize other languages to translate during the normal course of work. The
languages provided for are Spanish, Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Mandarin. This
Resolution adds American Sign Language and any other language determined by the City
Manager as qualifying languages to be compensated.
• Auto Allowance — This section has been updated to designate Group A employees as being
authorized to receive the existing auto allowance provision of up to $300/month based
driving demands of the position as recommend by the Department Director and approved
by the City Manager.
• Technology Allowance — This new section authorizes the allowance of $100/month for
employees using personal cell phones in lieu of city issued devices based on Department
Director recommendation and City Manager approval. This replaces the Administrative
Policy currently in place for City employees within this group.
• Uniform Cleaning Allowance — This new Section memorializes the current benefit of
$150/year for designated employees to clean City issued uniforms.
• Boot Reimbursement — This new Section also memorializes the current benefit of
reimbursement to certain employees for the purchase of qualifying work boots. The
amount has been increased from $150/year to $250/year.

Renefits-
Cafeteria Style Health, Welfare, and Savings Benefit — The Cafeteria Style Health benefit
provides $1,700/month to employees towards the cost of health, dental, and vision
premiums. Any unused benefit is paid to employees in either taxable cash or deposits to
the employee's deferred compensation account. Employees who choose to opt -out of City
provided health coverage, under defined conditions, are allowed to take the $1,700 monthly
allowance in taxable cash or deferred compensation contributions. Beginning November
1, 2021, the City will provide an additional $100/month for `out-of-pocket' health costs
with no additional cash -back allowance. Additionally, beginning December 1, 2021, new
hires will not receive any unused portion of the allowance and the opt -out allowance is
reduced to $500/month.
Deferred Compensation Program 457) — For employees hired prior to July 1, 2010, the
City provides, and contributes to, a Deferred Compensation 401A Plan based on years of
service. In addition, the City provides for employees, but does not contribute to, a Deferred
Compensation 457 Plan. This practice has not been memorialized within the Resolution
previously. The proposed Resolution includes language documenting the existence of the
Plan and that it is voluntary on the part of the employee.
• Wellness Program — The City provides up to $300 reimbursement for qualifying expenses
through the City's Wellness Program. Due to financial constraints, this program had been
suspended in the past. Beginning with the effective date of this Resolution, the program
and funding has been reinstated.
Schedules/Leaves:
• Vacation Buy Back — The City currently allows employees to cash -in up to 60 hours
available vacation hours. If the employee has hours in Vacation Bank A (hours unused
prior to June 30, 2011), those hours must be cashed -in before hours in Bank B. For 2021
only, the City will allow the cash -in of 40 hours of Bank B vacation hours even if Bank A
hours exist.
• Sick Leave — Employees accrue 10 sick leave hours per year with unlimited accumulation.
With the adoption of this Resolution, sick leave hours will be capped at 500 hours for all
employees hired after November 30, 2021.
• Holidays — The City currently provides 9 set holidays and 2 floating holidays to employees.
Effective beginning in calendar year 2022, the list of holidays observed shall be modified
to add Cesar Chavez (March 31), Juneteenth (June 19), and Christmas Eve (December 24)
and eliminate both floating holidays.
• Floating Holidays — As stated above, floating holidays have been eliminated beginning
calendar year 2022.
• Flexible Scheduling Due to Special Events — This section has been updated to include the
elimination of the Fall Fiesta from the list of named special events leaving only the 4th of
July Parade/Carnival/Fireworks event as a `all hands' event. Revised language also
City Council Meeting — MMPC & PT Salary and Benefits — Reso No. 2021-49 and Reso No. 2021-51
October 26, 2021
Page 4 of 6
provides more specific criteria for when hours can/will be flexed in lieu of banking of hours
for time worked on special events.
•
JM Du — The City currently provides up to 80 hours of paid jury duty leave but does not
provide for the possibility of a more lengthy trial. To support City employees' civic duty,
language has been included to compensate employees based on trial length with approval
of the City Manager but does require employees to return to work after being released from
jury duty each day provided at least one-half of their shift remains.
Other:
• City Rights — This section has been eliminated from the Resolution because this is not a
represented employee group and there is no similar need for documentation of these
existing rights.
Emergency Waiver Provision — This new article provides for limited temporary waiver of
Resolution provisions when events due to circumstances beyond the control of the City,
such as acts of God, fire, flood, etc., occur and the City's need for more flexibility to
respond to those events.
PART-TIME EMPLOYEES — RESOLUTION No. 2021-51
The City also employs various classifications on a part-time or hourly basis. The employees in
these positions work throughout the year, seasonally, or on a temporary basis and typically work
no more than 1000 hours per fiscal year unless exempted from Ca1PERS or assigned to one of the
five 3/4 -time positions. Other than the 3/4 -time positions, these employees do not receive benefits
except those benefits required by law. Employees authorized at 3/4 -time receive various limited
benefits as described within the Resolution (Attachment B). All part-time employees are
unrepresented and do not bargain for salary and benefits. The changes to the Part -Time Employee
Salary and Benefit Resolution are as follows:
• Applicability — The list of employees shown has been split into two sections, 1) 3/4 -Time
positions and 2) Hourly positions. The section has been further modified to list only those
positions that are funded and/or filled.
• Waw — All part-time employees will receive the same 2% across-the-board increases
granted to employees in other groups on November 1, 2021. With the minimum wage set to
increase on January 1, 2022, these wages will be revisited in December and recommended for
further adjustment as appropriate to address compliance and compaction issues.
• 3/4 -Time — Medical Benefits — These employees are currently provided with a City
contribution amount equal to the lowest cost medical plan for single party through Ca1PERS
Health. Resolution No. 2021-51, changes this benefit to provide a City contribution in an
amount up to the cost of the single party Kaiser Permanente rate. The cost of the lowest cost
single party medical plan is $465 per month (2022 rate) versus Kaiser at $720. The average
of all single party Ca1PERS health plans is $725 per month. This is the only health benefit 3/4 -
Time employees receive. There are 5 authorized 3/4 -Time positions.

3/4 -Time — Bilingualy — As with other groups, American Sign Language and other
languages determined by the City Manager have been added.
3/4 -Time — Wellness Program — As with the other groups, the program is reinstated. These
employees are reimbursed up to $150/year while full time employees are reimbursed up to
$300/year based on funding availability.
• 3/4 -Time —Vacation Accrual —Current language provides 50 hours of vacation time upon date
of hire. The proposed language clarifies that the 50 hours is per year, sets an accrual rate of
1.92 hours per pay period (in place of the lump sum upon hire date), and establishes a cap at
two-times the annual accrual (100 hours).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2021-49 approving annual salary
and benefits for the classifications in the Middle Management, Professional and Confidential
(MMPC) group and Resolution No. 2021-51 approving salary and benefits for part-time
employees.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated on-going incremental annualized cost for terms outlined in the attached Resolution
for the Management, Professional, Confidential unit is $70,000 for the first year and an additional
$47,000 for the second year. The budget impact for FY 2021-22 is approximately $55,000 with
the reduction from the annualized cost due primarily to the October/November compensation
component implementation dates. Of these amounts, approximately 86% is funded by the General
Fund. The appropriations needed for this action will be presented in the Mid -Year Budget Report.
Although not expected to have an immediate fiscal impact, long-term savings are expected with
the implementation of the two-tier Cafeteria Style Health and sick leave accrual benefit plan.
The annualized cost of increasing part-time salaries is $36,000; $24,000 for the remainder of FY
2021-22. This estimate is based on budgeted part-time salaries rather than actual filled positions
so the actual first year cost could be less.

conflict with such applicable provisions of Federal, State, or Local laws or regulations or otherwise

COMPENSATION
SECTION 4: COMPENSATION
Year One
• Effective October 31, 2021, the top step of all salary ranges will be increased by 3%.
• Effective November 1, 2021, all employees shall receive an across-the-board increase of
two percent (2%).
MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2021-49 Page 13
Year Two
• Effective June 27, 2022, all employees shall receive an across-the-board increase of two
percent (2%).
A. Salary Ranges/Steps: Effective with the first pay period following City Council approval
of this agreement, salary steps within ranges shall be implemented as reflected in
Appendix A. Each salary range consists of ten (10) salary steps. Steps are set as a monthly
rate, at approximately three percent (3%) intervals, rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
Hourly rates shall be determined by multiplying the monthly rate by 12 (months) and
dividing by 2080 (hours).
Each employee will be placed within the ten (10) step salary range of their respective
position's classification. With the conversion of salary ranges to steps to occur upon City
Council approval of this MOU, employees shall be placed on the step nearest, but not less
than, their current monthly salary.
B. Step Implementation: Effective October 31, 2021, all employees will be placed into the
step closest to, but not lower than, the employee's current salary. After placement into
the step system, the 2% across-the-board will then be applied effective November 1,
2021.
C. Salary Advancement: Each employee will be placed within the ten (10) step salary range
of their respective position's classification. Pay increases shall not be automatic but shall
depend upon the merit and performance of the employee, as determined by the
Department Director, with the concurrence of the City Manager. The first opportunity
for a merit increase would be at the end of the probationary period. Subsequent merit
step increase opportunities will occur annually, on the anniversary date of the employee's
hire date or transfer to their current position. In rare instances, and for exceptional
performance, at the sole discretion of the City Manager and based on the
recommendation of the Department Director, may also authorize a three percent (3%)
additional step salary advancement; however, under no circumstances may an
employee's base salary exceed the top step of the salary range. Total merit -based
increases may not exceed 6% within a 12 -month period.
Employees whose anniversary dates occur on July 1, 2021 or later shall have their annual
increase paid retroactively to their respective anniversary date for the 2021 annual step
increase.
D. Salary Placement for New Appointments: The first salary step level will be the minimum
rate and normally the hiring rate. In special cases when, in the sole discretion of the
Department Director, it is merited by experience, education, training, or other
qualification, the City may approve the hiring of a candidate for employment at a higher
step. However, no newly appointed person shall be hired above Step 4 without prior
approval of the City Manager.
MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2021-49 Page 14
E. Performance Evaluation Requirements: Recommendations for a step increase or
delayed eligibility for a step increase must be accompanied by a performance evaluation
to substantiate performance. Performance evaluations for consideration of a step
increase shall be due annually based upon the employee's anniversary date of
appointment to their current classification. An employee on a leave of absence (paid or
unpaid) for more than thirty (30) consecutive workdays in a rating period shall have their
annual review date adjusted accordingly.
F. Effective Date of Step Increase: Any recommended step increase will be effective the
first day of the pay period immediately following the employee's anniversary or annual
review date. No more than one step increase may be granted per performance evaluation
period.
G. Step Advancement: Advancement from Step 1 through Step 10 will be contingent upon
receiving an overall performance rating of "meets expectations" or higher on the
performance evaluation.
Salary Adjustments Within Salary Range Based on Job Performance
The following provision shall apply from July 1, 2021 until the 2021 Step System is implemented
and shall then have no further effect for the remainder of this Agreement.
The City's pay -for -performance system allows an Employee to obtain a percentage merit salary
increase consistent with his/her annual performance evaluation. All Employee salary increases,
within the salary range, are based on merit through the annual performance evaluations. Based
on the Employee's performance rating on his/her performance evaluation, an Employee is
eligible for a merit increase. Employees eligible for a merit increase will be eligible to receive up
to a 5% merit.
Employee salaries may not exceed the maximum salary range within the respective job
classification.
All full-time Employees are part of the Merit Based Compensation System. All Employee salary
increases, within the salary range, are based on merit through the annual performance
evaluations. Based on the Employee's performance overall rating on the performance
evaluation, an Employee is eligible for a merit increase. The following is the performance rating
categories and percentage increases that an Employee may be eligible for until the Step System
has been implemented.

The City recognizes that a situation may arise in which, as a result of personnel changes at the
supervisory or managerial level, the City Manager determines that there is no currently employed
supervisor, manager, or director who has sufficient basis to evaluate an employee's performance
in the prior review period. In that limited circumstance, the employee will be provided with an
increase in the amount of 2.5% of base compensation through October 26, 2021.
SECTION 5: PROBATIONARY PERIOD
The probationary period, of one year (2080 supervised hours), shall be an integral part of the
employment examination process and shall be utilized as an opportunity to closely observe the
employee's work, to provide special training, to assist the employee in adjusting to the new
position, and to reject any employee whose work performance, adaption, or personal conduct
fails to meet required standards. A probationary employee shall have no right of tenure and may
be dismissed without cause, at any time, during the probationary period without right of appeal,
grievance, or hearing. Probationary employees do not have property or vested rights in their
positions with the City.
All employees shall receive an interim performance report after completion of six (6) months of
the probationary period. Satisfactory completion of probation is based on total performance
during the entire probationary period. The City Manager may, in his/her sole discretion, extend
the probationary period an additional 1040 hours (six (6) months).
If an employee is out on an extended leave of absence, the probationary period will be extended
out by the equal amount of time/duration the employee is out on the leave of absence.
The probationary period for an employee promoted to a higher classification is defined in Section
7 (Promotions).
SECTION 6: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
All employees will receive an annual performance evaluation. The City recognizes the importance
of conducting timely evaluations. Supervisors, managers, and department directors must submit
and conduct performance evaluations in a timely manner on the date the evaluations are due.
Every effort must be made by the supervisors, managers, and department directors to submit
timely evaluations. However, the City recognizes that when an emergency or an unforeseen
circumstance arises, the expectation is to submit the evaluations as soon as practicable.
Aside from an emergency or an unforeseen circumstance, in the event that a supervisor will not
be able to complete an employee performance evaluation report in a timely manner, the
supervisor shall notify the department director and request a time extension for completion of
the performance evaluation report. An extension of two (2) weeks will be permitted for the
supervisor to complete the evaluation. In addition, the supervisor must inform and notify the
respective employee if the evaluation will not be completed on time.
If an employee is out on an extended leave of absence, the performance evaluation will be
extended bythe equal amount of time/duration the employee is out on the leave of absence. An
MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2021-49 Page 16
extended leave of absence is defined as thirty (30) days or longer.
A probationary employee will receive an interim performance evaluation at six months from the
date of hire. Interim performance evaluations are not linked to any merit adjustments or
increases.
SECTION 7: PROMOTIONS
The City may promote any employee to a differentjob classification within the City service having
more responsible duties, and/or higher job qualifications, and/or a higher salary scale level.
Upon promotion any employee shall receive a minimum salary increase equivalent to one (1)
salary step in the employee's current (pre -promotional) job classification, provided however that
such increase shall be at least equivalent to the minimum of the salary scale established for the
new job classification. A promotion shall establish a new Evaluation Date for purposes of
performance evaluation.
Employees promoted to a higher position shall also serve a six (6) month (1040 hours)
promotional probationary period beginning on the effective date of the promotion. Any regular
employee rejected during the probationary period following a promotional appointment, by
reason of failure to satisfactorily complete the probationary period shall be reinstated to the
position from which the employee was promoted unless there is a basis for dismissing the
employee for just cause. Promotional probationary employees shall have no tenured rights to
appeal such actions. Dismissal from City employment during the promotional probationary
period may be made for just cause in accordance with City policy 30-21 (Corrective Action).
If an employee had not attained regular status in the class to which the employee reinstates, the
employee shall then be required to complete the normal probationary period, less any service
previously accrued in such lower class.
SECTION 8: RECLASSIFICATIONS
The City may reclassify any position within City service as provided below and in accordance with
the criteria in the City's Employer -Employee Relations Resolution and the Fair Labor Standards
Act.
A. Reclassification Defined. A reclassification is a change in job description and/or job title of a
position within the City service to accommodate materially changed job duties not
anticipated in the original classification and assigned or directed to be performed by the
City. Such changed duties do not include duties voluntarily assumed by, and not assigned
to, an employee or temporary duties assigned for purposes of training for the employee.
B. Impact of Reclassification. Position reclassification is neither a promotion nor demotion.
A reclassification may result in the salary range being increased, decreased, or staying the
same. Typically, an employee will be placed on the step that includes the salary rate
closest to his/her current salary rate, not to exceed the top of the salary range. The salary
rate may be increased at the time of the reclassification at the discretion of the City. If
the salary range is decreased as a result of the reclassification, the employee may be Y-
MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2021-49 Page 17
rated at the discretion of the City. A reclassification shall not alter an employee's
Evaluation Date.
C. Employee Request for Classification Study. An employee may request a classification
study by submitting a written statement to the Department Director through the
employee's immediate supervisor and chain of command detailing the reasons for said
request. The Department Director shall review, comment, and forward the request to
Human Resources within 30 days of receiving the request. If the Department Director
does not forward the request to Human Resources within 30 days, the employee may
then submit the request directly to Human Resources. Human Resources shall make the
determination asto classification study need and so inform the Department and employee
of said determination. The employee may appeal the determination to the City Manager
within ten (10) working days from receipt of notification. The City Manager's decision
shall be the final determination. In the event a classification study is undertaken, final

the age of 65, whichever comes first. The maximum short-term disability benefit amount will be
$1,848 per week. Where applicable, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and/or California
Family Rights Act (CFRA) leave runs concurrently with disability.
The City provides employees with a long-term disability plan to protect against cases where a
non -work-related illness or injury is sustained which results in an inability to work for a long
period of time. In these cases, LTD is received only after STD has expired and the employee
continues to be medically disabled. Employees will receive 66.67% or 2/3 of their pre -disability
base salary with a 90 -day waiting period. The employee will receive continued payment until the
employee is medically able to return to work, or until the employee reaches the age of 65,
whichever comes first. The maximum long-term disability benefit amount will be $8,000 per
month. Where applicable, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and/or California Family Rights
Act (CFRA) leave runs concurrently with disability.
Employees have the option of receiving a full paycheck by utilizing his/her own leave time to
subsidize the 1/3 while on disability. Disability will cover 2/3 or 66.67% of the pre -disability base
salary based off the W-2 (1 year average). However, when on disability, employees may not
utilize sick leave. Employees may use vacation, floating holiday, holiday, and/or compensatory
time (if applicable). Leave Accrual rate will be based upon the hours utilized.

All full-time employees accrue 100 hours of vacation leave during their first year of service. One
hundred forty (140) hours are accrued for employees with one year of service, up to (but not
over) 13 years. For employees with over 13 years of service (13+) the accrual rate is 160 hours.
Employees cease to accrue vacation hours when, in any pay period, their balance exceeds two
times their annual accrual as determined by their anniversary date.
All vacation requests are to be pre -approved by the Department Director. Negative vacation
banks or borrowing from future accruals will not be allowed except under provisions of Section
34C.
All full-time employees are entitled to a paid vacation following one year of employment.
Employees may begin taking accrued vacation after six months of employment.
Vacation accruals will be determined by the percentage formula of actual hours in a paid status
by the City.
Example 1:

balance and takes an extended leave of absence will not accrue any
hours.
On July 1, 2011, the City established two (2) vacation banks as follows:
Bank A: Vacation earned/accrued prior to June 30, 2011.
Bank B: Vacation earned/accrued after July 1, 2011 (Subject to a 2 -year cap).
SECTION 32: VACATION BUYBACK
In order to encourage employees to take regular vacations on an annual basis and to partially
limit the growth of the City's long-term liability of employee accrued vacation hours upon
separation of employment, the City has established the following criteria for vacation buyback.
MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2021-49 Page 1 15
A. Once per calendar year, full-time employees are eligible to have the City buyback up to
80 hours of accumulated unused vacation time. Effective December 10, 2021, and
continuing thereafter, employees must submit an irrevocable election form, by no later
than December 10th of the preceding calendar year, to buy back up to 60 hours of
accumulated unused vacation time. The payment shall be made via payroll with the last
paycheck in the following December after receipt of the irrevocable election form. In the
event an employee has less hours in their vacation bank at the time the cash -out is to be
paid than they had previously elected to cash -out, the employee shall only be paid for up
to the amount remaining in their vacation bank at the time of the actual cash -out.
Employees who do not submit an irrevocable election form by December 10th will be
deemed as foregoing participation in the optional annual leave buy-back program for that
following calendar year. The buyback may not reduce the vacation leave balance below
the equivalent of one year's accrual.
B. For the purposes of vacation buyback, all employees must utilize Bank A prior to utilizing
Bank B. However, if there are no hours accrued in Bank A, employees may utilize Bank B.
C. An employee who experiences an unforeseeable emergency may be permitted to make
a new irrevocable election and/orto increase the amount of the previous election, subject
to the same value that was permitted at the time the annual irrevocable election forms
were due. For these purposes, an "unforeseeable emergency" means a financial hardship
to the employee resulting from any of the following:
■ Accident, illness, injury or death of the employee or an immediate family member.
For this purpose, an "immediate family member" is restricted to a spouse, registered
domestic partner, child/legal dependent, or parent; or
■ Loss or extensive damage to the employee's property due to casualty; or
■ Other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising from events
beyond the control of the participant.
Whether an occurrence is an unforeseeable emergency shall be solely determined by the
City Manager or designee, but requests made under this provision shall not be
unreasonably denied.
The payment shall be made with the last paycheck in December of that same calendar
year.
D. If it is subsequently determined by the City, the IRS, a court of competent jurisdiction or
another governing authority that the annual buyback provisions in place prior to
December 10, 2021, or substantially similar, will not trigger constructive receipt of income
from accrued leave, the City will remove the irrevocable election process.
E. For 2021 only, for those employees with balances in Bank A, the City will allow for the
buyback of up to 40 hours of accumulated unused vacation time in Bank B and up to 40
hours of accumulated unused vacation time in Bank A in lieu of the 80 hours provided in
section A of this Section. The sell back may not reduce the vacation leave balance in Bank
MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2021-49 Page 1 16
B below the equivalent of one year's accrual. The buyback request must be made in
writing by November 18, 2021, with payment to occur in December 2021.
F. All buybacks shall be paid at the employee's base hourly rate of pay at the time of the
payment.
SECTION 33: ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE
Each January 1, employees will be allocated 60 hours of administrative leave for the calendar
year. Any administrative leave hours that are not utilized by December 31 will be forfeited.
Furthermore, any administrative leave on the books for a separating employee will be paid at the
employee's hourly rate at a prorated unit of administrative leave available by pay period.
SECTION 34: SICK LEAVE
A full-time employee who is incapacitated from the performance of such employee's duties by
reason of a non -service -related illness or injury, pregnancy, legal requirements of public health
officials or for reasons specified in the Family and Medical Leave (FMLA), California Family Rights
Act (CFRA), or other state or federal laws are eligible for sick leave.
A. Amount Earned: All full-time, regular, or probationary employees will accrue ten (10)
hours of sick leave per month. Sick leave will be earned, commencing on the first day of
employment as a probationary employee, and accrued on a bi-weekly basis. Employees
may accumulate up to a maximum of 120 hours of sick leave with pay per year. Sick leave
accruals will be determined by the percentage formula of actual hours in a paid status by
the City.
Example 1:
An employee who works 80 hours on paid status per pay
period will accrue 4.62 hours/pay period.
An employee who works 40 hours on paid status per pay
Example 2:
period will accrue 2.31 hour/pay period (50% of 4.62
hours/pay period).
Example 3:
An employee who has a zero -leave balance and takes an
extended leave of absence will not accrue any hours.
Except for retirement, all unused sick leave hours will be forfeited when an employee
separates from employment, voluntarily or involuntary. Upon retirement, an employee's
unused sick leave hours will be converted to service credit as contracted with CalPERS.
B. Sick Leave Cap: Accrued sick leave is capped at 500 hours for employees hired after
November 30, 2021.
C. Advanced Sick Leave: Sick leave time shall not be taken until such time has been accrued.
D. Utilization of Sick Leave Benefits: The right to utilize benefits under the sick leave
provisions herein continues only during the period that the employee is employed by the
City. All benefits hereunder terminate upon the employee leaving City service. An
employee on military leave is not granted sick leave during the military leave period.
MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2021-49 Page 1 17
Employees are not eligible to utilize sick leave benefits within the first thirty (30) days of
employment.
Sick leave is not a leave which an employee may use at his/her discretion, but is allowed
only in cases of actual sickness or disability which make it impossible or inadvisable for
the employee to perform normal work assignments/functions. Sick leave may be utilized
for dental or medical appointments, medical assessments and/or due to a serious illness
in the immediate family. The City Manager/department director may deny or revoke sick
leave if the incapacitation for which it is taken is caused or substantially aggravated by
compensated outside employment. If an employee is absent from work for more than
three (3) working days without notifying his/her direct supervisor or department director,
the employee may be dismissed from City service for being absent without official leave.
Any abuse of sick leave usage is grounds for disciplinary action up to and including
dismissal.
E. Illness During Vacation Leave: Employees who become ill while on approved vacation
leave may request to use available sick leave in lieu of the approved vacation time for the
period of illness. Verification of illness may be required by the employee's supervisor or
department director prior to approval.
F. Notification to Supervisor: Any employee needing to be absent because of sickness or
other physical disability must notify the appropriate department director or immediate
supervisor at least one (1) day prior to such absence if circumstances permit, or within
one (1) hour before the start of the regular shift when prior notice cannot be given.
G. Sick Leave Authorized Due to Illness in Family: An employee is allowed sick leave due to
a serious illness in the immediate family. The definition of "family" defined under the
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) policy will be utilized. In the event of a serious
illness in the immediate family, a certificate of such illness and the need for the
employee's absence by the acceptable medical authority may be required by the
department director. In such case, the employee must be able to produce a verifying
certification upon request by the immediate supervisor or management.
H. Return to Work Following Illness: The department director may require an employee to
submit to a medical and/or psychiatric examination by a physician designated by the City
before permitting the employee to return to work after the employee has been on sick
leave. If the results of any such examination indicate that the employee is unable to
perform assigned duties, or if performance of those duties will expose others to infection,
the employee will be placed on sick leave, or leave without pay after all sick leave has
been used, until adequate medical evidence is submitted that the employee is competent
to perform assigned duties or will not subject others to the infection.
Medical Certificate Requirement: In order to be paid for sick leave, the employee must
make every good faith effort to notify his immediate supervisor prior to the start of the
employee's workday. The department director may request, for cause, a certificate
issued by a licensed physician or other satisfactory proof of illness before sick leave is
granted. The department director may also choose a licensed physician to conduct a
physical examination at City expense. Any employee who makes application for sick leave
MGMT Resolution Attachment — No 2021-49 Page 1 18
may be required by either the department director or City Manager to file a certificate
signed by a duly and regularly licensed physician authorized to practice medicine or may
be required to submit a personal statement which states the employee was incapacitated
from performing the duties of the position for each day that sick leave is requested.
Authority will also be given to the physician signing the certificate, to disclose to the City
Manager or the department director, information relating to sick leave. Sick leave will be
granted when the application for sick leave is approved by the department director or the
City Manager.
J. Transfer of Sick Leave: New employees may be credited up to two hundred (200) hours
of sick leave from their previous public agency employer provided the previous employer
did not otherwise compensate the employee for said hours. The new employee must
provide a letter or documentation from the previous employer verifying accrued but
uncompensated hours.
K. Unused Accumulated Sick Leave Upon Separation: An employee will not receive any
payment for unused accumulated sick leave upon dismissal of employment or retirement
(either disability or regular). An employee may not use sick leave to extend a retirement
(either disability or regular) or dismissal date. This prohibition does not affect an
employee's right to obtain sick leave credit with CalPERS. Any other balances or if an
employee resigns or is dismissed will be forfeited.
L. Catastrophic Leave Policy: During the term of this Resolution, the City will adopt a sick
leave donation policy. The policy is intended to be adopted in accordance with IRS
Revenue Ruling 90-29 and other applicable legal standards under which employees can
donate sick leave to another employee whose own medical condition, or family member's
medical condition, will require the prolonged absence of that other employee from duty
and will result in a substantial loss of income to the employee because the employee will
have exhausted all paid leave available, apart from the donated leave under the plan.

condition of an employee or employee's family member or preventative care for an

appointments. Sick leave may not be utilized for the purposes of trading shifts or
rescheduling shifts.
An employee shall provide reasonable advance notification (oral or written) of their need
to use accrued paid sick leave to their direct supervisor if the need for paid sick leave use
is foreseeable (e.g., doctor's appointment scheduled in advance). If the need for paid sick
leave use is unforeseeable, the employee shall provide notice of the need for the leave to
their supervisor as soon as is practicable.

of the date of separation, previously accrued and unused paid sick leave hours shall be
reinstated to the extent required by law. However, if a rehired employee had not yet
worked the requisite 90 days of employment to utilize paid sick leave at the time of
separation, the employee must still satisfy the 90 days of employment requirement
collectively over the periods of employment with the City before any paid sick leave can
be used.
The City will not lend sick leave in advance of accrual.
The City will not retaliate against an employee who utilizes paid sick leave.
Any abuse of sick leave usage shall be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including
