COPY: Aaron Felmlee, Finance Director

SUBJECT: Budget Amendment Request for Housing Element Consulting Services

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve a supplemental budget request for Professional Services in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Administrative Fund for Fiscal Year 2018-19.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City currently has a $10,000 contract with Placeworks Consulting to assist with updating the housing element that is due to be submitted to the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) by August 1, 2019 (see attached schedule). The current level of planning and development activities in the City, along with the special long-range planning projects requested by the Council (including the needle exchange ordinance and the Riverwalk rezone) have impeded staff’s ability to focus solely on the housing element update. Staff is seeking an additional $14,800 for Placeworks to complete all of the housing element update tasks. The housing element is a State- mandated reporting and planning document for affordable housing within the City. The City’s CDBG administrative fund balance is approximately $238,000. The funds may be used for purposes relating to support of low-income housing in the City, including preparation of the City’s housing element.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This budget amendment will result in an additional expense to the City’s CDBG Administrative Fund in the amount of $14,800.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends that the Council approve the supplemental budget request and appropriate an additional $14,800 to account 825-6025-7200. Consent Agenda vote.

Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Attn: Mona Pasquil Rogers, Appointments Secretary

RE: Recommendation of Appointment of Brett Watson to the California Coastal Commission

Dear Governor Newsom,

On behalf of the City of Fortuna, I write to offer our support for the appointment of Arcata Mayor Brett Watson, to the California Coastal Commission.

As the current Mayor of Arcata and City Councilmember, Mr. Watson has a unique and important viewpoint regarding our coastal waters. He has been actively involved in facilitating safe oyster farming practices and protecting Humboldt Bay’s wildlife and plant life. As an Arcata City Councilmember, he has been required to make decisions regarding issues that affect all coastal waters including regulation of businesses along the bay, sewage treatment, and the impact of industries on the watershed inland, which directly influences the health of Humboldt Bay.

Through his education in natural resources and work with the U.S. Forest Service, he has been an integral part of studies of our local ecosystems. He understands the delicate balance between economic growth and environmental responsibility. In his capacity as a technician, he developed an understanding of testing methods and the complex language associated with them. His tech savvy approach to issues gives him a fresh perspective on the new challenges our coastal waters face with Climate Change, alternative energy proposals, and the ever-changing political landscape. Mr. Watson has the capacity to lead us into the future.

Respectfully,

Merritt Perry, City Manager City of Fortuna Consent Agenda Item 4 Page 2 of 7

Fortuna City Council 621 11th Street Fortuna, CA 95540

Dear Members of the Council,

I'm writing to request a letter of support for appointment to the North Coast District seat on the California Coastal Commission. I believe my experience on the Arcata City Council and my background in natural resources makes me a well-qualified candidate for this position.

While it’s essential we continue to work to promote the health of our bay, I also understand the need for economic development. When the California Coastal Commission suspended permits for local oyster farmers in 2017, I sought out information from all sides of the issue to ensure I was making an informed decision when choosing to support responsible oyster farming practices that would significantly reduce the negative impacts to eel grass.

I believe it’s important to find balance between preservation of our natural environment and deriving economic benefits from our lands in a responsible way. Humboldt Bay is a world-class example of this as we’ve successfully maintained a healthy bay while realizing the many economic benefits from oyster production, fishing, hunting, and various forms of recreation.

The North Coast has many challenges and opportunities ahead of us relating to coastal issues, e.g. offshore wind power and sea level rise, and I’m ready to work hard to represent our region on these issues. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Brett Watson Mayor, City of Arcata

30 STAFF REPORT City Council Consent Agenda Item

DATE: March 4, 2019

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager

SUBJECT: Approve the Application for Grant Funds from the California River Parkways Grant Program for the River Front Park Project; Resolution 2019-05

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the application for grant funds from the California River Parkways Grant Program and authorize the City Manager to conduct negotiations and submit documentation related to the River Parkways Grant Application.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Acquisition of a park along the Eel River was identified in the 2010 General Plan Vision and has been actively pursued by City staff since 2015. Public meetings were held in early 2018 to solicit public input on the potential of a river front park and the concept was supported by public input received. The City council authorized the submission of a grant application to the Land and Water Conservation Fund for a seven acre parcel immediately north of the Riverlodge between Riverwalk Drive and the Sandy Prairie Levee. Ultimately a grant application was not submitted, but staff continued to seek other grant funding opportunities.

In December of 2018, staff submitted a concept application to the River Parkways Grant Program that outlined a portion of a parcel for acquisition owned by Troy Land and Trudy Ehmke. The concept application identified, included funding for an appraisal and 100% of the anticipated appraised value of the parcel. A copy of the concept application is attached to this staff report.

The City was notified that its application was being considered for further consideration and a site visit was held with representatives from the granting agency to review the project in person. Several community stakeholders were included and voiced their support for that project. The meeting including the tribe, the Eel River Recovery Project, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Friends of the Van Duzen River, Eric Stockwell of Loleta with Eric’s Guide Service, City Staff and the property owner.

Staff was recently notified that the City has been invited to submit a full application and the project is being considered for funding. Staff is currently working on the application package. The subject resolution is required to submit the application. This project, if funded, will provide a unique opportunity to preserve a portion of the waterfront along the Eel River for a City park that can be developed in the future to provide open space for the citizens of Fortuna to have a place to enjoy the Eel River.

Consent Calendar Item 5 Page 1 of 2 31 The primary issue that will need to be resolved for this grant application to be successful is completing negotiations with the property owners. Currently the property owners have made it clear that they would like to dispose of all of their property including over 200 acres outside of the levee in the channel and flood plain of the Eel River. This portion of the land was not included in the River Parkways Grant application. There may be some potential uses for portions of this property for the City, such as wastewater disposal, which we are currently conducting testing on as a part of the City’s wastewater compliance project. The rest of the property has relatively low value and is ultimately property that the City would probably not want to own or maintain. We are working to identify other potential owners for portions of the property that may not be needed by the City.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The grant application is not anticipated to result in any increase to the current City Budget. If the grant is successful, the City would have maintenance responsibility of the parcel and any park facilities developed.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Approve the application for grant funds from the California River Parkways Grant Program and authorize the City Manager to conduct negotiations and submit documentation related to the River Parkways Grant Application; Resolution 2019-05. Consent Agenda vote.

STAFF REPORT City Council Business Agenda Item

DATE: March 4, 2019

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Liz Shorey, Deputy Director of Community Development

THRU: Merritt Perry, City Manager

SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Amend the Fortuna Municipal Code, Title 8 – Health and Safety, Adding chapter 8.40, Sections 8.40.010—8.40.050, Syringe Exchange Programs and Safe Disposal of Sharps; Ordinance 2019-733

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Receive first Reading, accept public comments on amendments of Title 8- Health and Safety, Adding Chapter 8.40, Sections 8.40.010-8.40.050, which includes provisions to regulate Syringe Exchange Programs (SEPs) within the City; and consider adopting Ordinance 2019-733 following a second reading on March 18, 2019.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Background. The State of California adopted needle and syringe exchange regulations (AB 604) to allow exchange sites in cities and counties throughout the state as a method of reducing syringe waste and to provide clean needles to reduce the transmission of HIV, viral hepatitis, and other blood borne diseases. California Health and Safety Code Sec. 121349 authorizes syringe exchange programs to operate in a city or county providing certain criteria are met and it is done so upon the approval of the county, city, or State Department of Public Health. Additionally, AB 1743 allows pharmacies or physicians to provide an unlimited number of hypodermic needles and syringes without a prescription to persons 18 years of age or older for their personal use.

The purpose of SEPs is to reduce the transmission of diseases associated with using unsterile needles and syringes, to offer drug addiction counseling and rehabilitation services, and to address improperly discarded syringes. Policies and procedures can be established, often with the input and advice of an advisory board that may be made up of trained professionals and stakeholders including health staff, law enforcement, mental health workers, rehabilitation personnel, and city and county staff.

At least forty permitted programs operate throughout the state in various cities, including within Humboldt County. The State Department of Public Health recently approved an exchange permit for Humbolt Area Center for Harm Reduction (HACHR) within Humboldt County. Currently, HACHR does not operate a syringe exchange programs (SEPs) in Fortuna.

In addition, the County’s Public Health Department SEP program is operated by their North Coast Aids Project (NorCAP), and was approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2012. In addition to

Business Agenda Item C Page 1 of 3 102 needle and syringe exchange, the NorCAP program services include HIV and hepatitis C testing, disease and overdose prevention counseling, education, and recovery services.

In an attempt to control used needle proliferation in the city, and to have some oversite on the establishment of SEPs, the City of Eureka adopted a syringe exchange program in 2018, adopting standards for quarterly reporting, referral services, clean-ups, operating distance from schools, and waste disposal practices. Through the efforts of the Eureka Police Department, Code Enforcement, Community Services, and the City Manager, meetings were held with stakeholders from DHHS, St. Joseph Hospital, Open Door Clinic, HWMA and Humboldt Center for Harm Reduction (HACHR) to discuss issues and solutions.

The Fortuna City Council, at their meeting on February 4, 2019, expressed concern for the public health crisis that the County is facing with regard to blood borne diseases and recognized that SEPs are part of a larger effort to eliminate that crisis. However, the distribution of syringes within the City threatens the health City staff and other volunteers who have the role of cleaning up syringes from public places within the City. In addition, the County’s current location on Fortuna Boulevard is in a walking route between South School and the downtown area, and in a heavily trafficked commercial business area. A more appropriate place for this service would be near areas of existing medical facilities, where treatment and counseling services can be more readily available.

Staff has prepared a draft ordinance that is in response to the Council’s comments at their February 4th meeting. The draft ordinance includes policies that attempt to reduce litter by requiring one- for-one issuance (one needle is handed out for every needle that is returned), notification to the City and approval of locations only in areas developed with medical facilities, prohibition within 1,000 feet of schools and parks, prohibition of deliveries within the City, commitment to clean-up programs by SEPs, sharps disposal in approved containers, and reporting to the City.

The public health officer, Dr. Donald Baird, who oversees the SEP operated by NorCAP, reviewed the draft ordinance and expressed several concerns with its standards:  One-to-one needle issuance: The concern is that this method is not realistic for safe handling of sharps, because used needles are typically received from consumers in a sharps container, and it is not feasible for providers to open up the containers and count individual needles, as this would increase the chance for handlers to be stabbed and infected. Health care professionals who operate SEPs prefer unlimited distribution as the best means to ensure clean needles are available to reduce the spread of disease.  Location: Potential SEP sites are severly limited and possibly completely precluded if they are to be restricted to medical sites and less than 1,000-foot from schools and parks. Presently, all of the medical sites in the City are within 1,000 feet of schools or parks. SEP providers prefer to locate in areas that are easily accessible to users, as this increases the level of participation.  Organized clean-up events: SEPs are typically do not have the staffing or budget to organize and participate in off-site, City-wide clean-ups of used needles, other than on the site on which they operate.  Deliveries: Prohibiting deliveries is not feasible and may not be legal, because pharmacies already are in the practice of delivering needles and syringes to patients on a regular basis along with prescription orders.

Business Agenda Item C Page 2 of 3 103

With regards to location, the ordinance does limit SEPs to at least 1,000 feet from schools and public parks, and to sites that are developed with a medical facility. Due to the restricitive nature of this requirement, staff suggests consideration of other options, such as broadening the geographic range of SEPs to certain zoning districts within the City, such as Public Facility (PF) or Commercial Thoroughfare (CT), or identifying specific areas or individual parcels on which an SEP may locate. (See attached Zoning Map for reference).

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impacts will result from allowing an SEP in the City, since they are operated by nonprofit organizations. Undetermined cost for City staff time already occurs because of needle and syringe litter clean up and other law enforcement activities related to illegal drug activities.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Receive staff presentation and review questions with staff. 2. Open public comment 3. Close public comment 4. Motion to hold the first reading of Ordinance 2019-733 that includes provisions to regulate Syringe Exchange Programs (SEPs) within the City, read by title only, and continue the Public Hearing to Monday, March 18, 2019. Roll call vote.

ORDINANCE 2019-733

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORTUNA ADDING CHAPTER 8.40, SECTIONS 8.40.010—8.40.050, SYRINGE EXCHANGE PROGRAMS AND SAFE DISPOSAL OF SHARPS

WHEREAS, the City of Fortuna supports the concept of harm reduction through hypodermic syringe exchange as a benefit to the health threat incurred by spreading disease such as HIV and Hepatitis C through the sharing of needles during drug use; and

WHEREAS, there are more than forty Syringe Exchange Programs (SEPs) operating in California in a variety of settings, including health clinics, mobile vans, churches, county public health offices, as well as home delivery services; and

WHEREAS, since 1999, the California State Legislature has acted several times to expand access to sterile syringes through SEPs, authorized by local governments. In 2012, Assembly Bill (AB) 604 granted authority to the California Department of Public Health, Office of Aids to permit organizations to apply directly to the Department of Public Health for authorization to provide syringe exchange services; and

WHEREAS, syringe and needle waste represents a potential public health hazard for children, adults, and public employees-including police, fire, and parks and public works maintenance workers, through unnecessary exposure and risk of contamination and injury due to improper disposal of sharps; and

WHEREAS, the City’s public parks, roads, alleys, sidewalks, trails, commercial areas, and private property have been subjected to improper disposal of sharps; and

WHEREAS, the City of Fortuna, private businesses, individuals, and organized community clean-ups have collected thousands of improperly disposed of sharps on an annual basis on public and private property; and

WHEREAS, there is no mandatory statewide stewardship program for sharps in California, and manufacturers, retailers, non-profit agencies, and producers have not provided support for a permanent collection program to date; and

WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Section 118286 requires that home-generated sharps be transported to a collection center in sharps containers or other containers authorized by the local enforcement agency, and prohibits the loose disposal of home-generated sharps waste in trash or recycling containers, many people continue to dispose of contaminated sharps in manners that increase the risk that others will come into contact with them; and

105

WHEREAS, the regulation of Syringe Exchange Programs is necessary to ensure that such programs operate in conformity with state law, demonstrate a plan and implementation for injection drug users to seek treatment for substance abuse, and require the removal of syringe litter from public and private property.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Fortuna does hereby ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. DECLARATION OF INTENT

The purpose of this ordinance is to ensure public health and safety by amending Title 8 – Health and Safety, adding Chapter 8.40, Sections 8.40.010—8.40.050, standards for needle and syringe exchange programs and safe disposal of sharps.

SECTION 2. FINDINGS OF APPROVAL

The City Council has reviewed and hereby makes the following findings:

A. The Ordinance is consistent with goals and policies of the Fortuna General Plan regarding public health and safety and avoidance of exposure to hazardous materials and waste:

Goal HS-6: To minimize the risk of loss of life, injury, serious illness, damage to property, and economic and social dislocations resulting from the use, transport, treatment, and disposal of extremely hazardous materials and hazardous materials and wastes.

Policy HS-6.1: Compliance with Hazardous Material Laws and Regulation. The City shall require that all land uses that transport, generate, use, handle, store, dispose of, and/or emit hazardous materials or waste be in compliance with all applicable, federal, state, County and local hazardous materials safety laws and regulations.

B. Through the adoption of specific development standards, the Needle and Syringe Exchange Ordinance is designed for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare, and balances the needs of harm reduction through hypodermic syringe exchange as a benefit to the health threat incurred by spreading disease such as HIV and Hepatitis C through the sharing of needles during drug use, with the needs of the general public including children, adults, and public employees-including police, fire, and maintenance workers in Parks and Public Works Departments through unnecessary exposure and risk of contamination and injury due to improper disposal of sharp.

C. The City Council makes and adopts as findings the facts and conclusions set forth above in the preamble of this Ordinance and for the reasons stated in the recitals, finds that the establishment of needle exchange programs in the city constitute a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare unless the standards listed in the ordinance are established.

City of Fortuna Attention: Merritt Perry Interim City Manager 621 11th Street Fortuna, CA 95540

Re: Interim City Attorney Appointment

Dear Mr. Perry:

On behalf of The Mitchell Law Firm, LLP, we write to express our interest in serving as interim City Attorney for the City of Fortuna as Dave Tranberg transitions into his retirement. If selected, Russell S. Gans and Ryan T. Plotz would constitute the primary responsible attorneys for providing services to the City. We plan to attend the City Council meeting on Monday, March 4, 2019, and look forward to meeting the Council and addressing any questions the councilmembers may have.

Information about our firm is provided below and I have enclosed a sample engagement letter for your consideration.

1. Office Location, Hours of Operation, Contact Information and Year Organized

Our law office is located at 814 Seventh Street, in Eureka, California. Our offices are open Monday through Friday, from 8:30 A.M. through 5:00 P.M. We can be contacted by mail, telephone: (707) 443-5643 or e-mail. The e-mail address for Russ Gans is: [email protected]. The e-mail address for Ryan Plotz is: [email protected]. Our law office was established in 1945. Russell Gans has been with the law firm since 1996. Ryan Plotz has been with the law firm since 2014.

113 March 1, 2019 Page 2

2. Qualifications and Capabilities

We believe that one of our law firm’s strengths is the quality and depth of our attorneys and support staff. While having a primary attorney to interact with the City would provide continuity, this depth and diversification would allow us to direct a particular issue to an attorney with specific and specialized experience when applicable. It would also provide immediate response to emergency issues when the primary attorney is not available.

a. Russell S. Gans

Russell (“Russ”) Gans was raised in Fortuna, California, where both of his parents taught at Fortuna High School. Russ graduated from Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, California with a degree in History in 1992. Russ graduated in the top ten percent of his class, was inducted in the Saint Mary’s Honor Society, and received the Henry George Award for outstanding scholarship as a History Major.

Following his undergraduate education, Russ attended the University of Oregon Law School and graduated in the top one-third of his class in May of 1996. While at law school, Russ served as the Business Editor for the Journal of Environmental Law and Litigation (a law review) and obtained a Certificate of Completion in Environmental Law and Litigation, which included extended course work in water law, pollution and land use law and related issues. Russ interned for the California Department of Fish and Game during the summer of 1995, working primarily on CEQA and California Endangered Species Act related issues germane to litigation in which the Department was a party.

Russ took and passed the July, 1996, California Bar examination, and began employment at Mitchell, Brisso, Delaney & Vrieze in the Fall of 1996. His law practice has included civil litigation and substantial work in the firm’s commercial and business practice. Russ is involved in a significant amount of the firm’s transactional work related to employment, contract and real property law. His real property experience has included purchase and sale agreements, easements and licenses, commercial and residential leases, restrictive covenants, conservation easements, and land use, zoning and permitting/entitlement issues.

Russ is also very active in the firm’s municipal practice, and he principally serves on a contract basis as the City Attorney for Blue Lake, Rio Dell and Ferndale, and General Counsel for the McKinleyville Community Services District, Manilla Community Services District and Garberville Sanitary District.

114 March 1, 2019 Page 3

Russ is rated “AV Preeminent” by Martindale-Hubbell in both the legal and judicial rating divisions (the highest possible rating), as an attorney possessing the highest level of professional ability and ethical standards.

b. Ryan T. Plotz

Ryan Plotz graduated cum laude from San Jose State University in 2009 and received his law degree from UC Davis School of Law, graduating in the top 25% of his class. During law school, Ryan received numerous academic awards, including awards for excellence in Property Law, Legal Writing and Research, Civil Procedure, and Criminal Law. Ryan focused his law school curriculum on municipal law, receiving a public law certificate. Prior to joining The Mitchell Law Firm, Ryan worked as a legal intern for the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office, gaining valuable experience and knowledge on many issues pertinent to California municipalities.

Since joining The Mitchell Law Firm in January of 2014, Ryan has focused his practice on representing public entities, both in an advisory capacity and in the defense of legal claims. Ryan has successfully defended the Counties of Humboldt and Del Norte in the California Superior Court and regularly advises the Cities of Rio Dell, Ferndale, and Blue Lake on a variety of matters, including Brown Act and Public Records Act compliance, employment matters, general and special taxes, Proposition 218 compliance, and ordinance preparation and adoption. Ryan also provides legal advice to other public entity clients, such as the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District, the Humboldt Bay Harbor Recreation and Conservation District, the Humboldt Community Services District, and the Arcata Fire Protection District.

c. Municipal Law Background and Relevant Experience

Our law firm has substantial experience in municipal and public entity law and litigation. Our law firm currently serves as general counsel for multiple public entities, including: the Humboldt Bay Harbor Recreation and Conservation District; the McKinleyville Community Services District; the Humboldt Community Services District; the City of Rio Dell; the City of Ferndale; the City of Blue Lake; Garberville Sanitary District (on an assignment basis); the Manila Community Services District; the Loleta Community Services District (on an assignment basis); and the Arcata Fire Protection District.

Additionally, our law firm regularly represents the Cities of Eureka, Arcata, Fortuna and Crescent City, among others, in various legal matters and litigation.

115 March 1, 2019 Page 4

Likewise, our firm regularly represents the Counties of Humboldt and Del Norte, and at times Mendocino and Siskiyou. Our law firm has successfully defended these public and municipal entities in litigation in both state and federal courts arising out of claims for dangerous conditions on public property, excessive force claims against law enforcement, and legal challenges to various public policy determinations. We also serve many of these entities in non-litigation matters when county counsel or the city attorney has a conflict of interest or is otherwise unable to represent the entity.

Our extensive litigation experience defending public entities has included not only civil rights claims and dangerous condition of public property cases, but also litigation in areas such as the Brown Act, the California Environmental Quality Act, election procedures, construction litigation, interpretation of codes and ordinances, personnel matters.

Our consultations with public entities on non-litigation matters have included public works project bid procedures, Brown Act and Public Records Act inquiries (as noted), ordinance preparation and enactment procedure, conflict of interest, personnel matters, public entity tort claim procedures, condemnation and eminent domain procedures, and public entity immunities. In addition, our litigation work for public entities often results in requests by the public entity to work with their staff counsel to amend ordinances or change policies and procedures to attempt to prevent similar problems in the future.

4. Potential Conflict of Interest Assessment

As noted, our law firm represents the County of Humboldt and most of the cities and special districts listed above in civil litigation matters.

Although this representation may have the potential for creating a technical conflict of interest, we have been very successful in the past in obtaining conflict waivers from these public entities to deal with them on issues for other clients when our representation of the public entity has been on different issues and the public entity is being represented by their staff counsel (such as County Counsel or the City Attorney).

Our law firm represents numerous private entities as well, including such entities as Green Diamond Resource Company and California Redwood Company, George Peterson Insurance Company, numerous contractors including Wahlund Construction, O & M Industries and Mercer Fraser Company, St. Joseph Hospital and Redwood Memorial Hospital, and the Town of Scotia, LLC, among others.

Although our private practice and client base is diverse, we do not believe that our law office has worked on any matters for any private entity which would present a conflict of interest in representing the City of Fortuna. If the City is interested in retaining our law firm, we would gladly discuss any conflict issues and consider seeking conflict waivers, where appropriate.

Our law firm has previously defended the City of Fortuna in civil litigation matters through the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund (REMIF).

5. Fee Structure

We propose providing legal services on an hourly rate basis, billed monthly. Our rates for Russell Gans would be $200.00 per hour and our rates for Ryan Plotz would be $185.00 per hour. Rates for associates would be $170 per hour. Paralegals would be billed at $95 per hour.

We do not foresee the need for much, if any, out-of-town travel. However, if necessary, out-of-town travel costs are charged at actual air travel, hotels, etc. cost

incurred without markup. Use of private automobiles for out-of-area travel is charged at the IRS rate. If travel time and actual legal representation results in a day in excess of 8 hours, we generally make an equitable adjustment to the hours billed. (For example, if an attorney spends a 12-hour day in combined travel and representation, the hours billed may be reduced to 10.) If expert consultants are required (primarily in litigation matters) we work with the client in selecting the expert and contracting for the service, and usually have the expert directly bill the client.

If a matter requires extensive copying, the material is sent out to a commercial copy center (unless unusual circumstances of confidentiality, critical document control, etc., warrant different handling), and charged for reimbursement at the commercial rate without additional markup. Similarly, other work sent out to third parties, such as special shipping charges for large volumes of documents, etc., are charged for reimbursement at provider’s rate without markup.

All telephone (including long distance), fax, clerical assistance, computer legal research on-line charges, etc., are considered general overhead and are not charged in addition to the hourly rates.

6. Additional Information

We take pride in the tradition and history of our firm. We have several clients (including the County of Humboldt) who have been clients for 30-40 years or more. Each attorney with the firm has started their private practice career here and has remained. One of our younger partners, William Mitchell, is the grandson of firm founder Emery Mitchell and son of our late partner Cliff Mitchell. We have had members of our support staff who worked for us for over 30 years.

We want long-term client relationships. We realize the best way to establish and maintain these relationships is by providing quality legal representation in a manner that is cost-effective for the client. We attempt to bring a practical and common sense approach to our work, and discuss with the client not only the “legal rights” of the client but whether the client considers the legal product or objective to be cost-effective. We work with the client as a team to ensure that the legal work makes common sense as well as legal sense.

Our billing format provides detailed information on each legal activity performed and the amount of time expended for that activity. We encourage clients to contact us to discuss any questions about legal activities or the amounts of billings.

DATE: March 4, 2019

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members

FROM: Siana L. Emmons, Human Resources Manager

THRU: Merritt Perry, City Manager

SUBJECT: Review of Administrative Policies – Step Policy

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Review and provide direction to staff regarding implementation of a Step Policy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Council has requested staff review and provide updates to the City’s administrative policies and procedures. Currently the City utilizes policy and procedure documents from three sources “City of Fortuna Personnel Rules and Regulations”, 2007; “City of Fortuna Administrative Regulations and Council Policies” 2001; and “City of Fortuna City Council Policies & Procedures Manual”, 2015, as means to identify and administer City rules, regulations, policies and procedures. Many of the policies contained in the Administrative Regulations are in need of updates, and some are no longer applicable to current practice.

Staff is working on reviewing each document to identify where there are needed revisions with the intention of creating one comprehensive manual. Staff proposes to complete this in an incremental manner by updating one policy at a time.

At the October 2, 2017 Council meeting, Council agreed with the staff recommendation to convert from the current merit system to a step system. The step system is comprised of 6 steps each representing a 4% increase from the previous pay step. Step 0 is the normal beginning pay rate. An employee who starts at step 0 will have the opportunity to move to step 1 at the employees 6-month review with the recommendation of their Department Head, if the performance of their duties is done in a manner that exceeds expectations for an entry level employee for that position. Moving from step 0 to step 1 will not be paid retroactively but paid from the time the review occurs, at the discretion of the City Manager. If an employee is not recommended to move from step 0 to step 1 at the 6-month review they will receive the step increase on the employee’s first anniversary date. Moving from step 1 to step 2, step 2 to step 3, step 3 to step 4 and step 4 to step 5 will occur each year on the employee’s anniversary date. Each step increase will be paid retroactively to the employee’s anniversary date with satisfactory performance.

This item includes an updated policy for pay consistent with the Councils previous direction to implement a step system for compensation that defines a set pattern for increases for employees performing their job duties in a satisfactory manner.

Business Agenda Item F Page 1 of 2 127 Staff is requesting that the Council direct staff to complete the Step Policy consistent with the draft provided and incorporate the policy into the City’s “City of Fortuna Policies and Procedures Manual” which will replace the existing language in the Personnel Rules and Regulations, Rule X Compensation, which has been included as an attachment for Council review.

As each new policy or procedure is created or revised, staff will bring a draft to the Council for review prior to implementation. The City Manager, without Council approval, may make minor modifications to these policies from time to time. In addition, when applicable, the City will meet and confer with bargaining units per Government Code Section 3300.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Receive staff report and review questions with staff 2. Open Public Comment 3. Close Public Comment 4. Motion to direct staff to finalize the Step Policy based on the draft provided with any suggested changes provided by council and incorporate it into the updated Policies and Procedures Manual. Voice vote.

1. PURPOSE It is the intent of the City to establish a sound and just pay step policy to equitably compensate all employees for duties they perform within their designated classification in a manner that meets expectations for that position. The policy sets forth procedures to ensure like treatment for employees in the classified service. Increases will be consistent with the pay schedule approved by the City Council and as incorporated into the City’s annual budget.

2. GENERAL POLICY All City employees are compensated in accordance with the Classification and Pay Schedule adopted prior to each Fiscal Year by City Council Resolution. A minimum and maximum pay, or range, is established for each position. The pay range shall consist of six (6) steps, zero (0) through five (5) with four percent (4%) increase between each step. The maximum pay level shall be twenty-one and two-thirds percent (21.67%) higher than the minimum pay level. A newly hired employee shall be placed at step 0 of the pay schedule range established for the position. The City Manager, may, when circumstances warrant it, authorize appointment above the minimum pay level, but not higher than Step 2, except with the concurrence of City Council. No advancement of pay level shall be made above the maximum pay level established for the position in a particular range. To hire an employee at a step other than 0 requires approval of the Department Head and City Manager. The Department Head should review the application and provide documentation to support the request, recognizing that approval will be based on individual qualifications, market availability, and the pay of employees currently in the classification. Step Increases A full-time employee, hired or promoted to a position at step 0 of the appropriate pay range, upon evaluation and approval by their Supervisor, and City Manager, shall be eligible to advance to step 1, after six months of employment with the City. Moving from step zero 0 to step one 1 will not be paid retroactively. If an employee is not recommended to move from step 0 to step 1 at the six month review the employee will still receive the step increase on their anniversary date. Thereafter, the employee shall be eligible, upon evaluation and approval by their Supervisor and Department Head, to advance successively to steps 2, 3, 4 and 5 at the end of each consecutive

129 CITY OF FORTUNA Step Policy Policy Number: XXX Authority: CM Effective: Revised: March 4, 2019 Reviewed: City Council ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES & PROCEDURES MANUAL Initiating Dept: Admin

year, upon the employee’s anniversary date. These step increases will be paid retroactively to the employee’s anniversary date. As a general practice, an employee shall move one-step upon approval, each year on their anniversary date. When a determination has been made that an employee has exhibited professional performance that exceeds expected standards, the City Manager shall retain the administrative latitude to move an employee up to one additional step (4%) within the range in a 12-month period. Cost of Living Adjustments When a cost of living adjustment (COLA) is approved by the City Council, the COLA will increase the pay range for those positions awarded the adjustment.

Supplementary Compensation The City Council may by resolution grant supplementary compensation to employees, including but not limited to contributions toward retirement, health insurance, physical examinations, uniform allowance, incentive pay, education, training, and benefits involving time off with pay.

Overtime Compensation

Overtime-eligible employees are not permitted to work overtime except as the department director authorizes or directs. No employee may work overtime without receiving the approval of the appropriate supervisor prior to performing the work. Working overtime without advance approval is grounds for discipline. Exceptions may be made for emergency situations.

130 ATTACHMENT B Rule X Compensation

Section 10.1. Preparation of Pay Plan

The Personnel Officer, their designee, or a person or agency employed for that purpose, shall prepare a Pay Plan consisting of a schedule of salary ranges and a chart showing the allocation of each class in the Classification Plan. The Pay Plan also shall include a schedule of hourly wage rates applicable to regular part time, seasonal, on-call and temporary employees not in the classified service. The level of compensation applicable to any class or position shall be determined with due consideration to prevailing compensation levels for comparable work in public and private employment, the meet and confer process with recognized employee organizations, the financial condition of the City and other relevant factors.

Section 10.2. Adoption, Amendment, and Revision of Pay Plan

The Pay Plan shall be adopted and may be amended or revised from time to time by the City Council.

Section 10.3. Schedule of Salary Ranges and Application of Pay Level

A minimum and maximum salary shall be established for each full-time position in the Classification Plan. The maximum salary level shall be twenty-one and one-half percent (21.5%) higher than the minimum salary level. Regular part time, seasonal, on-call and temporary positions will be required to establish a minimum and maximum wage range.

Employees occupying a regular, full-time position in classified service shall be paid a salary or wage rate established for that position or the class within which that position is included. Generally, newly appointed employees will start at the minimum salary level. However, the City Manager may, when circumstances warrant it, authorize appointment above the minimum salary level, but not higher than ten percent (10%) except with the concurrence of the City Council. No advancement of pay level shall be made above the maximum salary level established for the position in a particular range.

Every new, regular full-time employee entering the classified service may be eligible for consideration for a pay increase following six (6) months of employment. A probationary employee may receive a pay increase, and still be kept on probation. Each pay increase in the salary range will not be automatic, but based on merit. Each advancement in the salary range can range from one percent (1%) to five percent (5%). The department head will recommend to the City Manager that an employee be approved or disapproved for a pay increase.

Recommendations for pay increase shall include a percentage increase in the salary. Upon determination by the City Manager, the employee shall be notified of the approval of a merit increase. Failure to receive a merit increase as herein provided is not a disciplinary action and

131 shall not preclude any employee from thereafter receiving such an increase upon improvement in his or her work performance and a recommendation by the department head.

If a pay increase in not recommended for an eligible employee during their annual performance review, a specific time not to exceed three months will be established for re-evaluation of the employee's performance. At the time of re-evaluation, the employee may be reinstated as eligible to receive a merit increase. Reinstatement for eligibility may be retroactive.

Exceptional employees can be considered for more than one advancement in a year. The total advancement in the salary range shall not exceed eight percent (8%) per anniversary year.

At the time the employee is advanced from one class to a higher class in the classified service in the same career pattern, the employee shall receive at least a five percent (5%) increase in salary with the exception that the increase in salary shall not exceed the maximum salary for the new position
