DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Operating and Capital Budget
On May 4, 2021, the City held a workshop in order to review with the City Council the
proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22. At the workshop, the City Council received a
detailed staff presentation and directed staff to adjust the proposed budget to reflect the
final adjustment of the County’s proposed cost for the delivery of law enforcement
services for Fiscal Year 2021-22 and for the cost of the proposed amendment to the scope
of service to be provided by Mercy House, as further described below.

The proposed budget resolution does not reflect the effects of the proposed employee
compensation changes that are presented for consideration as a part of this agenda
report. If approved, the compensation changes associated with new labor agreements
will be reflected in the final budget of the City for Fiscal Year 2021-22. The proposed
employee compensation changes are expected to increase General Fund appropriations
by approximately $150,000, if approved by the City Council. After taking the proposed
compensation changes into account, proposed budgeted General Fund operating
revenues will exceed proposed budgeted operating expenditures (excluding capital
project fund transfers) by $990,000.
A summary of the Budget Resolution (Attachment 1) for the Fiscal Year 2021-22
Operating and Capital Improvement Budget is set forth below:
Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program
The Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program presented to the City Council at the Fiscal
Year 2021-22 budget workshop provided an update of the program to reflect revised
revenue projections and an advancement of highest priority projects to the extent
permitted by available funding.
Attachment 2 presents the Resolution regarding the Seven-Year Capital Improvement
Program for Fiscal Years 2021-22 through 2027-28, summarized as follows:

In the proposed Fiscal Year 2021-22 Capital Budget, staff proposed focusing street
funding on the City’s highest priority street rehabilitation project, the Camino Capistrano
Pavement Rehabilitation Project. This project would resurface and reconstruct Camino
Capistrano from Avenida Aeropuerto to the Costco entrance. The total estimated cost for
the Camino Capistrano Pavement Rehabilitation Project is $4.0 million, of which $1.8
million is proposed to be funded in Fiscal Year 2021-22. Pursuant to City Council
direction, staff is currently engaged in an assessment of street conditions and funding
alternatives, which is anticipated to be presented to the Council for consideration later
this year.
The Fiscal Year 2021-22 Proposed Capital Budget includes $3.0 million of funding for the
Skateboard Park Project (CIP 21201), which is scheduled to be constructed in Fiscal Year
2021-22.
No changes have been made to the funding previously provided in the City’s seven-year
CIP for water and sewer projects, since the City is in the process of transferring its water
and sewer utility systems to the Santa Margarita Water District. The City will coordinate
with the Santa Margarita Water District on the water and sewer capital projects set forth
in the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program as the City progresses toward the
annexation, which is expected to occur in Fiscal Year 2021-22.
A modified version of the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years
2021-22 through 2027-28 has been included at Attachment 3 in order to meet the
requirements of the Measure M2 program of the Orange County Transportation Authority.
This version of the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program includes costs associated
with the City’s senior mobility program and summer trolley program that are not capital
expenditures for budgetary purposes. Approval of this document is required in order to
continue to receive Measure M2 transportation funds.
One of the projects in the Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program provided to City
Council at the budget workshop and reflected in Attachment 2 is the Stonefield Park
Synthetic Turf Project. This project would replace the existing natural turf playing surface

with synthetic turf material. Stonefield Park is located on land owned by the Capistrano
Unified School District (CUSD) and City staff is currently working with CUSD on a potential
partnership to design and construct the project under a long-term Joint Use Agreement.
Staff recommends that $300,000 of project funding currently scheduled for Fiscal Year
2022-23 be advanced to Fiscal Year 2021-22 so that design work can be initiated as soon
as a Joint Use Agreement is in place. This would allow for a FY 2022-23 construction
schedule and create an opportunity to evaluate and pursue any grant and private donation
funding in order to reduce the amount of Park In-lieu Fee funds that are needed for the
project.
Establishment of the Appropriations Limitation for Fiscal Year 2021-22
Article XIII of the California State Constitution requires that local governments establish
a limitation on the amount of proceeds of taxes that may be appropriated for spending. It
is the City’s responsibility to calculate the annual appropriations limit using a methodology
established by state statute. The previous fiscal year’s limit is increased by a unifying
factor that takes into account changes in population as well as inflation. For the inflation
factor, cities may choose either the change in the measurement of California Per Capita
Personal Income (CCPI) or the change in the amount of the City’s assessed valuation
that is due to non-residential construction. For the population factor, cities can select
either the change in population for the city or that of the county. The choice of each of
these factors is made by an annual election of Council by means of a resolution.
Based on the foregoing methodology set forth in state law, the appropriations limitation
for Fiscal Year 2021-22 has been determined to be $88,373,720 (Exhibit A of Attachment
4). The City's budgeted expenditures for Fiscal Year 2021-22 that are funded by proceeds
of taxes as defined by state law are significantly below the limit and, therefore, the City’s
Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget is in compliance with the State Constitution with respect to
this matter.
Approval of Property Tax Rates for Voter-Approved Bonded Indebtedness
On November 4, 2008, voters approved Measure Y, which provided $30 million in bond
funding for the acquisition, preservation, enhancement and improvement of land to
protect and preserve open space, natural areas, creeks and streams, historic areas,
undeveloped hillsides, natural ridges and to provide additional recreational amenities,
such as bike and walking trails, equestrian facilities, parks and sports fields. Pursuant to
Measure Y, $30 million in bonds were issued under this measure in January 2010. In
February 2017, the City issued taxable refunding bonds to refinance the original bonds.
The City must annually establish the ad valorem tax rate that is necessary to fund the
annual installments of principal and interest that are associated with voter-approved
bonded indebtedness (general obligation bonds). The calculation for this tax rate takes
into account the debt service requirements for the year in question, as adjusted for funds
held in the Debt Service Fund, in order to determine the amount that needs to be collected
from the ad valorem tax levy to fully fund debt service on the general obligation bonds of
the City. Once that amount is determined, it is then divided by the estimated amount of
secured assessed valuation applicable to the fiscal year in question to arrive at the tax
City Council Agenda Report
June 1, 2021
Page 6 of 11
rate for the levy. Upon approval by the City Council, the County of Orange is notified of
the approved rate for placement on the property tax roll. The ad valorem tax rate for the
City’s voter-approved debt for Fiscal Year 2021-22 is $0.02010 per $100 of assessed
valuation (Attachment 5), a rate comparable to that of the prior year.
Investment Policy
As a part of the financial review associated with the budget process, the Chief Financial
Officer and the City’s investment advisor (Chandler Asset Management) evaluated the
City’s investment policy. Attachment 6 provides the proposed revised investment policy
that resulted from this evaluation, with proposed changes tracked. Attachment 7 provides
a clean version of the proposed revised policy. The most significant change was to
remove supranational securities as an allowable investment under the investment policy.
Although permitted by state law, the City currently holds no supranational securities.
Supranational securities are highly rated securities issued by multinational organizations
that are backed by capital pledges from participating governmental entities, including the
U.S. Treasury. Due to their complexity, staff recommends their exclusion from
consideration inasmuch that alternative investments currently authorized by the City’s
investment policy provide similar yields.
Reserve Targets
Pursuant to direction provided by City Council to staff on May 4, 2021, the City has revised
its General Fund reserve targets and reserve allocations for the General Fund as set forth
below and as presented in Exhibit A of Attachment 1:
Reserve

Law Enforcement Services Agreement with County of Orange
The Five-Year Law Enforcement Services Agreement (Agreement) with the Orange
County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) was initiated on July 1, 2020 and will terminate on
June 30, 2025 (Attachment 8). This Agreement requires that the County submit a
proposed staffing level and financial obligation update each year to the City for approval.
OCSD has submitted the First Amendment to the Agreement for Council approval for the
period from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022 (Attachment 9). The cost of law enforcement
services for Fiscal Year 2021-22 as estimated in the Amendment is $11,292,313, which
City Council Agenda Report
June 1, 2021
Page 7 of 11
is a 4.4% increase compared to the Fiscal Year 2020-21 revised estimate of $10,816,378.
The amount budgeted for contracted law enforcement services as set forth in the Fiscal
Year 2021-22 Adopted Budget includes a discount of 0.25%, or $28,000, for timely
monthly payment and provides sufficient funding for this amendment. The Fiscal Year
2021-22 direct staffing level of 30 full-time OCSD employees is the same as that for Fiscal
Year 2020-21.
The following chart depicts the City’s dedicated law enforcement staffing resources:
QUANTITY DEDICATED POSITIONS
1 Captain
5 Sergeant (4 Patrol + 1 Administrative)
2 Investigator
15 DS II Patrol
2 DS II Motorcycle
1 DS II Community Support
1 DS II - DET
DS II - Extra Help
27 Subtotal Safety
2 Community Services Officer
1 Crime Prevention Specialist
3 Subtotal Professional
30 TOTAL
The City also shares law enforcement resources with other South Orange County cities.
In Fiscal Year 2021-22 the City will share resources of 18.70 full-time employees. The
following chart depicts the City’s shared law enforcement staffing resources:
QUANTITY REGIONAL / SHARED STAFF % ALLOCATION
0.6 Traffic - Sergeant 5.83%
4 Traffic - Deputy Sheriff II 5.83%
2 Traffic - Investigative Assistant 5.83%
1 Traffic - Office Specialist 5.83%
0.3 Auto Theft - Sergeant 4.4%
2 Auto Theft - Investigator 4.4%
1 Auto Theft - Investigative Assistant 4.4%
1 Auto Theft - Office Specialist 4.4%
1 DET - Sergeant 8.08%
1 DET - Investigator 8.08%
2 Courts - Investigative Assistant 18.78%
1 Motorcycle Sergeant + MDC 16.9%
16.90 TOTAL
In addition to these resources, OCSD provides the City with specialized resources, such
as Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT), Mounted Enforcement Units, Homicide
Investigation Unit and Specialized Investigation Units focused on areas such as economic
crimes and gang suppression.

Staffing
The budget resolution for Fiscal Year 2021-22 reflects all of the cost savings realized by
the Fiscal Year 2020-21 reorganization and employee furlough. The reorganization
included layoffs, an elimination of vacant positions, a combination of positions and the
sharing of positions. As a result, the City was able to reduce its full-time equivalent (FTE)
employees from 89.51 FTE to 79.67 FTE.
Temporary Part-time Intern Position
The proposed budget resolution reflects the addition of a temporary part-time
Administrative Intern to assist the Public Works Department with administrative tasks.
Environmental Programs Analyst Classification
Staff is recommending the creation of a new job classification, Environmental Programs
Analyst, that would be funded once the water and sewer utilities transfer is effectuated
and would replace the existing Senior Management Analyst position that is currently in
the Utilities Department. This new classification would be set equal to the Senior
Management Analyst classification and have responsibility for the City’s solid waste and
recycling programs, as well as other Public Works programs related to the environment.
Upon the effective date of the water and sewer utilities transfer, this position would be
funded by the Forfeited Construction and Demolition Fund and would have no General
Fund impact.
Employee Compensation
The City has concluded negotiations regarding a proposed three-year labor agreement
with each of the City’s two employee associations: the Classified Employees Association
(CEA) and the Management and Professional Employees Association (MPEA)
(Attachments 10 and 11). Agreement on proposed revised Personnel Rules and
Regulations (Rules) has also been reached (Attachment 12). Finally, proposed salary
tables that reflect the cost of living adjustments agreed to by the parties are included with
this staff report, and a proposed resolution approving the tables and creating the
aforementioned Environmental Programs Analyst classification is recommended for
adoption (Attachment 13).
Under the requirements of the Myers-Milias Brown Act, which governs collective
bargaining in California, City representatives and representatives from CEA and MPEA
began meeting in February 2021 to discuss potential successor agreements, as the
current four-year agreements are set to expire at the end of June 2021.
The City’s goals as part of the negotiations process were to ensure the ongoing fiscal
viability of the City in the short and long-term, while recognizing the need to retain and
recruit qualified staff. These goals are achieved with the proposed agreements.
The City wishes to acknowledge the professionalism of the labor representatives.
Meaningful dialogue occurred, and the two sides were able to reach agreement within a
City Council Agenda Report
June 1, 2021

relatively short timeframe on a three-year deal with each association, including minor
revisions to the City’s Personnel Rules. If approved, the proposed contracts would cover
the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The main points of the agreements
that apply to both CEA and MPEA are outlined as follows:
Term 3 Years
Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) Fiscal Year 2021-22 2%
Fiscal Year 2022-23 2%
Fiscal Year 2023-24 2.5%
City Hall Closure Closed from Christmas Eve through New
Year’s Day (consistent with past practice)
Personnel Rules and Regulations Provided at Attachment 12
The proposed agreements also include a one-time retention and recognition payment of
$500 for each employee, advanced notification to association leadership in the event of
an anticipated employee layoff, the addition of one recognized City holiday (Martin Luther
King Day), and allowing employees at their option to designate a distribution of their final
paycheck to various deferred compensation accounts. The agreement with CEA
temporarily expands their use of Personal Necessity sick leave. The agreement with
MPEA provided for an additional one-time $300 telecommuting payment in recognition of
their use of employee-owned communication devices while working remotely during the
pandemic.
If approved by the City Council, the cost of the proposed agreements applicable to Fiscal
Year 2021-22 in the amount of $150,000 will be added to the General Fund final budget.
Mercy House Agreement
The proposed budget includes a $30,000 expansion of the agreement with Mercy House
to increase homeless outreach supportive services from a half-time position to a full-time
position (Attachment 14). This would permit an expansion of supportive services,
including prevention services, referrals for substance abuse counseling, medical
treatment and housing identification.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact of the Proposed Operating and Capital Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22
on each fund of the City is summarized in Attachment 1, subject to reflecting the impacts
of proposed employee compensation changes and an advancement of a portion of the
funding for the Stonefield Park Synthetic Turf Project, as described herein. The fiscal
impact of the Proposed Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2021-
22 through 2027-28 is summarized in Attachment 2.

City's total UAAL as of December 31, 2019 (using the December 31, 2018 actuarial valuation rolled forward to December 31, 2019) was approximately $18.8 million for the City's pension plans and
was approximately $3.0 million for the other post employment benefit plan as of June 30, 2020 (using the July 1, 2018 actuarial valuation rolled forward to June 30, 2020).

CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO
INVESTMENT POLICY
FIRST ADOPTED: APRIL 4, 1995
LAST REVIEW AND AMENDMENT: JUNE 411, 20198
CURRENT REVIEW AND AMENDMENT: JUNE 14, 202119
I. POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of the City of San Juan Capistrano (City) to invest public funds in a
manner which will provide security of principal invested, meet the daily cash flow
needs of the City, seek to achieve a market rate of return throughout budgetary
and economic cycles, and conform to the California Government Code sections
governing the investment of public funds.
II. SCOPE
This Investment Policy applies to all financial assets and funds held by the City of
San Juan Capistrano with the exception of deferred compensation assets (pension
and other post-employment benefits) held in a trust and funds held by bond trustee
that are controlled by the legal requirements of a debt indenture. For purposes of
this policy, the “City of San Juan Capistrano” includes all funds of the City, the
funds of the Successor Agency to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the
City of San Juan Capistrano, the funds of the San Juan Capistrano Housing
Authority, and the funds of any component unit that may be established by the
City.
III. OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of San Juan Capistrano's
investment activities shall be:
A. SAFETY OF PRINCIPAL - Safety of principal is the foremost objective of
the City. Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks
to insure the preservation of capital in the portfolio. One of the methods to
obtain this goal is diversification which is required in the portfolio's
composition.
B. LIQUIDITY - The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to
enable it to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably
anticipated. "Liquidity" refers to the ability to sell at any given moment with
a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest.
C. RETURN - The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the
objective of attaining a market average rate of return throughout budgetary
and economic cycles, taking into account the City's risk constraints and
cash flow needs.
ATTACHMENT 6 - Page 1 of 14
2
The City shall not engage in any activity that is designed to raise funds specifically
for the purpose of investing (i.e., borrowing funds to invest, or leveraging). The City
is not restricted from investing proceeds from a bonafide debt issuance in
accordance with this investment policy until such time as funds are needed for the
purpose intended.
IV. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
A. The authority of the City Council to invest or reinvest funds of the City is
delegated to the Chief Financial Officer (hereafter referred to as “City
Treasurer”), who shall thereafter assume full responsibility for those
transactions until the delegation of authority is revoked or expires. Subject
to review, the City Council may renew the delegation of authority each year.
B. The City may delegate investment authority to an investment advisor. The
advisor will follow the Investment Policy and such other written instructions
as are provided.
C. The City Treasurer shall designate a staff person as a liaison/deputy in the
event circumstances require timely action and the City Treasurer is not
present.
D. No officer or designee may engage in an investment transaction except as
provided under terms of this Investment Policy and the procedures
established by the City Treasurer and approved by the City Manager.
E. The City Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and
shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate
officials.
F. The City Treasurer and other personnel involved in the investment process
shall refrain from personal business activities that could conflict with proper
execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to
make impartial investment decisions.
ATTACHMENT 6 - Page 2 of 14

V. PRUDENCE
A. The standard of prudence to be used in the investment function shall be the
"prudent investor" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing
the overall portfolio. This standard states, "When investing, reinvesting,
purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a
trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general
economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a
prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters
would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to
safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency."
B. The City Treasurer, acting in accordance with written procedures and this
Investment Policy, shall not be held personally accountable for a specific
security's credit risk or market price change, provided that any unexpected
deviations are reported in a timely manner and that appropriate action is
taken to control adverse development.
C. The City may invest debt issuance proceeds to match or meet the
anticipated timing of the expenditures. The City may not incur debt with the
specific and sole purpose of arbitrage investment.
VI. INTERNAL CONTROLS/INVESTMENT PROCEDURES
A The City Treasurer shall establish a system of internal controls which will
be reviewed annually by the independent auditor. The controls shall be
designed to prevent loss of public funds due to fraud, employee error,
misrepresentation by third parties, unanticipated market changes or
imprudent actions by employees of the City of San Juan Capistrano.
B. The City Treasurer shall develop and maintain investment procedures for
the operation of the investment program which are consistent with this
Investment Policy. Procedures may include reference to
safekeeping/custody, wire transfer agreements, collateral and deposit
agreements, and other investment related activities.

VIII. DIVERSIFICATION AND MATURITY

XVI. GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
AGENCIES. Shorthand market terminology for any obligation issued by a government-sponsored
entity (GSE), or a federally related institution. Most obligations of GSEs are not guaranteed
by the full faith and credit of the US government. Examples are:
FFCB. The Federal Farm Credit Bank System provides credit and liquidity in the
agricultural industry. FFCB issues discount notes and bonds.
FHLB. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides credit and liquidity in the housing market.
FHLB issues discount notes and bonds.
FHLMC. Like FHLB, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provides credit and
liquidity in the housing market. FHLMC, also called “Freddie Mac” issues discount
notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.
FNMA. Like FHLB and Freddie Mac, the Federal National Mortgage Association was
established to provide credit and liquidity in the housing market. FNMA, also known
as “Fannie Mae,” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.
GNMA. The Government National Mortgage Association, known as “Ginnie Mae,” issues
mortgage pass-through securities, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of
the US Government.
PEFCO. The Private Export Funding Corporation assists exporters. Obligations of PEFCO
are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government.
TVA. The Tennessee Valley Authority provides flood control and power and promotes
development in portions of the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi River valleys. TVA
currently issues discount notes and bonds.
ASKED. The price at which a seller offers to sell a security.
ASSET BACKED SECURITIES. Securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by
pools of revolving lines of credit.
AVERAGE LIFE. In mortgage-related investments, including CMOs, the average time to expected
receipt of principal payments, weighted by the amount of principal expected.
BANKER’S ACCEPTANCE. A money market instrument created to facilitate international trade
transactions. It is highly liquid and safe because the risk of the trade transaction is
transferred to the bank which “accepts” the obligation to pay the investor.
BENCHMARK. A comparison security or portfolio. A performance benchmark is a partial market
index, which reflects the mix of securities allowed under a specific investment policy.
BID. The price at which a buyer offers to buy a security.
BROKER. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a transaction for which the broker
ATTACHMENT 6 - Page 10 of 14
11
receives a commission. A broker does not sell securities from his own position.
CALLABLE. A callable security gives the issuer the option to call it from the investor prior to its
maturity. The main cause of a call is a decline in interest rates. If interest rates decline
since an issuer issues securities, it will likely call its current securities and reissue them at
a lower rate of interest. Callable securities have reinvestment risk as the investor may
receive its principal back when interest rates are lower than when the investment was
initially made.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD). A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate.
Large denomination CDs may be marketable.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNT REGISTRY SYSTEM (CDARS). A private placement service
that allows local agencies to purchase more than $250,000 in CDs from a single financial
institution (must be a participating institution of CDARS) while still maintaining FDIC
insurance coverage. CDARS is currently the only entity providing this service. CDARS
facilitates the trading of deposits between the California institution and other participating
institutions in amounts that are less than $250,000 each, so that FDIC coverage is
maintained.
COLLATERAL. Securities or cash pledged by a borrower to secure repayment of a loan or
repurchase agreement. Also, securities pledged by a financial institution to secure
deposits of public monies.
COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMO). Classes of bonds that redistribute the cash
flows of mortgage securities (and whole loans) to create securities that have different
levels of prepayment risk, as compared to the underlying mortgage securities.
COMMERCIAL PAPER. The short-term unsecured debt of corporations.
COST YIELD. The annual income from an investment divided by the purchase cost. Because it
does not give effect to premiums and discounts which may have been included in the
purchase cost, it is an incomplete measure of return.
COUPON. The rate of return at which interest is paid on a bond.
CREDIT RISK. The risk that principal and/or interest on an investment will not be paid in a timely
manner due to changes in the condition of the issuer.
CURRENT YIELD. The annual income from an investment divided by the current market value.
Since the mathematical calculation relies on the current market value rather than the
investor’s cost, current yield is unrelated to the actual return the investor will earn if the
security is held to maturity.
DEALER. A dealer acts as a principal in security transactions, selling securities from and buying
securities for his own position.
DEBENTURE. A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.
DELIVERY VS. PAYMENT (DVP). A securities industry procedure whereby payment for a security
must be made at the time the security is delivered to the purchaser’s agent.
DERIVATIVE. Any security that has principal and/or interest payments which are subject to
uncertainty (but not for reasons of default or credit risk) as to timing and/or amount, or any
security which represents a component of another security which has been separated from
other components (“Stripped” coupons and principal). A derivative is also defined as a
financial instrument the value of which is totally or partially derived from the value of
another instrument, interest rate, or index.
DISCOUNT. The difference between the par value of a bond and the cost of the bond, when the
cost is below par. Some short-term securities, such as T-bills and banker’s acceptances,
are known as discount securities. They sell at a discount from par, and return the par value
to the investor at maturity without additional interest. Other securities, which have fixed
coupons, trade at a discount when the coupon rate is lower than the current market rate
for securities of that maturity and/or quality.
DIVERSIFICATION. Dividing investment funds among a variety of investments to avoid excessive
ATTACHMENT 6 - Page 11 of 14
12
exposure to any one source of risk.
DURATION. The weighted average time to maturity of a bond where the weights are the present
values of the future cash flows. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a bond to
changes in interest rates. (See modified duration).
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE. The rate of interest charged by banks for short-term loans to other banks.
The Federal Reserve Bank through open-market operations establishes it.
FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE. A committee of the Federal Reserve Board that establishes
monetary policy and executes it through temporary and permanent changes to the supply
of bank reserves.
LEVERAGE. Borrowing funds in order to invest in securities that have the potential to pay earnings
at a rate higher than the cost of borrowing.
LIQUIDITY. The speed and ease with which an asset can be converted to cash.
LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND (LAIF). A voluntary investment fund open to government
entities and certain non-profit organizations in California that is managed by the State
Treasurer’s Office.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT POOL. Investment pools that range from the State Treasurer’s
Office Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) to county pools, to Joint Powers Authorities
(JPAs). These funds are not subject to the same SEC rules applicable to money market
mutual funds.
MAKE WHOLE CALL. A type of call provision on a bond that allows the issuer to pay off the
remaining debt early. Unlike a call option, with a make whole call provision, the issuer
makes a lump sum payment that equals the net present value (NPV) of future coupon
payments that will not be paid because of the call. With this type of call, an investor is
compensated, or "made whole."

LAST REVIEW AND AMENDMENT: JUNE 4, 2019
CURRENT REVIEW AND AMENDMENT: JUNE 1, 2021
I. POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of the City of San Juan Capistrano (City) to invest public funds in a
manner which will provide security of principal invested, meet the daily cash flow
needs of the City, seek to achieve a market rate of return throughout budgetary
and economic cycles, and conform to the California Government Code sections
governing the investment of public funds.
II. SCOPE
This Investment Policy applies to all financial assets and funds held by the City of
San Juan Capistrano with the exception of deferred compensation assets (pension
and other post-employment benefits) held in a trust and funds held by bond trustee
that are controlled by the legal requirements of a debt indenture. For purposes of
this policy, the “City of San Juan Capistrano” includes all funds of the City, the
funds of the Successor Agency to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the
City of San Juan Capistrano, the funds of the San Juan Capistrano Housing
Authority, and the funds of any component unit that may be established by the
City.
III. OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of San Juan Capistrano's
investment activities shall be:
A. SAFETY OF PRINCIPAL - Safety of principal is the foremost objective of
the City. Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks
to insure the preservation of capital in the portfolio. One of the methods to
obtain this goal is diversification which is required in the portfolio's
composition.
B. LIQUIDITY - The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to
enable it to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably
anticipated. "Liquidity" refers to the ability to sell at any given moment with
a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest.
C. RETURN - The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the
objective of attaining a market average rate of return throughout budgetary
and economic cycles, taking into account the City's risk constraints and
cash flow needs.
ATTACHMENT 7 - Page 1 of 13
2
The City shall not engage in any activity that is designed to raise funds specifically
for the purpose of investing (i.e., borrowing funds to invest, or leveraging). The City
is not restricted from investing proceeds from a bonafide debt issuance in
accordance with this investment policy until such time as funds are needed for the
purpose intended.
IV. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
A. The authority of the City Council to invest or reinvest funds of the City is
delegated to the Chief Financial Officer (hereafter referred to as “City
Treasurer”), who shall thereafter assume full responsibility for those
transactions until the delegation of authority is revoked or expires. Subject
to review, the City Council may renew the delegation of authority each year.
B. The City may delegate investment authority to an investment advisor. The
advisor will follow the Investment Policy and such other written instructions
as are provided.
C. The City Treasurer shall designate a staff person as a liaison/deputy in the
event circumstances require timely action and the City Treasurer is not
present.
D. No officer or designee may engage in an investment transaction except as
provided under terms of this Investment Policy and the procedures
established by the City Treasurer and approved by the City Manager.
E. The City Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and
shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate
officials.
F. The City Treasurer and other personnel involved in the investment process
shall refrain from personal business activities that could conflict with proper
execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to
make impartial investment decisions.
V. PRUDENCE
A. The standard of prudence to be used in the investment function shall be the
"prudent investor" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing
the overall portfolio. This standard states, "When investing, reinvesting,
purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a
trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general
economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a
prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters
would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to
safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency."
ATTACHMENT 7 - Page 2 of 13

B. The City Treasurer, acting in accordance with written procedures and this
Investment Policy, shall not be held personally accountable for a specific
security's credit risk or market price change, provided that any unexpected
deviations are reported in a timely manner and that appropriate action is
taken to control adverse development.
C. The City may invest debt issuance proceeds to match or meet the
anticipated timing of the expenditures. The City may not incur debt with the
specific and sole purpose of arbitrage investment.
VI. INTERNAL CONTROLS/INVESTMENT PROCEDURES
A The City Treasurer shall establish a system of internal controls which will
be reviewed annually by the independent auditor. The controls shall be
designed to prevent loss of public funds due to fraud, employee error,
misrepresentation by third parties, unanticipated market changes or
imprudent actions by employees of the City of San Juan Capistrano.
B. The City Treasurer shall develop and maintain investment procedures for
the operation of the investment program which are consistent with this
Investment Policy. Procedures may include reference to
safekeeping/custody, wire transfer agreements, collateral and deposit
agreements, and other investment related activities.
VII. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
Where this Policy specifies a percentage limitation for a particular security type or
issuer, that percentage is applicable at the time the security is purchased.
Diversification criteria listed in Section VIII and credit criteria listed in this section
refers to the credit rating at the time the security is purchased. If an investment’s
credit rating falls below the minimum rating required at the time of purchase, the
City’s investment advisor (if any) and Treasurer will review the rating agency action
may at his or her option sell the affected investment, but is not required to do so.
The Treasurer has the same option with respect to the Diversification criteria listed
in Section VIII. Investments that complied with Investment type and per issuer
limitations at the time of purchase do not become noncompliant if at a later date
the percentage of the portfolio applicable to that investment changes as a result of
a change in the size of the portfolio.
A. United States Treasury notes, bonds, bills, or certificates of indebtedness,
or those for which the faith and credit of the United States are pledged for
the payment of principal and interest.
B. Federal agency or United States government-sponsored enterprise
obligations, participations, or other instruments, including those issued by

Sponsored enterprises ............................................................ no more than 100%
Bank Deposits ........................................................................... no more than 25%
Negotiable CDs ......................................................................... no more than 30%
Money market funds… .............................................. no more than 20% combined

Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow
requirements, the weighted average maturity of the investment portfolio
shall not exceed 3.0 years. For those investment types for which this Policy
does not specify a maturity limit, no individual investment shall exceed a
maturity of five years from the date of purchase unless the City Council has

XVI. GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
AGENCIES. Shorthand market terminology for any obligation issued by a government-sponsored
entity (GSE), or a federally related institution. Most obligations of GSEs are not guaranteed
by the full faith and credit of the US government. Examples are:
FFCB. The Federal Farm Credit Bank System provides credit and liquidity in the
agricultural industry. FFCB issues discount notes and bonds.
FHLB. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides credit and liquidity in the housing market.
FHLB issues discount notes and bonds.
FHLMC. Like FHLB, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provides credit and
ATTACHMENT 7 - Page 9 of 13
10
liquidity in the housing market. FHLMC, also called “Freddie Mac” issues discount
notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.
FNMA. Like FHLB and Freddie Mac, the Federal National Mortgage Association was
established to provide credit and liquidity in the housing market. FNMA, also known
as “Fannie Mae,” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.
GNMA. The Government National Mortgage Association, known as “Ginnie Mae,” issues
mortgage pass-through securities, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of
the US Government.
PEFCO. The Private Export Funding Corporation assists exporters. Obligations of PEFCO
are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government.
TVA. The Tennessee Valley Authority provides flood control and power and promotes
development in portions of the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi River valleys. TVA
currently issues discount notes and bonds.
ASKED. The price at which a seller offers to sell a security.
ASSET BACKED SECURITIES. Securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by
pools of revolving lines of credit.
AVERAGE LIFE. In mortgage-related investments, including CMOs, the average time to expected
receipt of principal payments, weighted by the amount of principal expected.
BANKER’S ACCEPTANCE. A money market instrument created to facilitate international trade
transactions. It is highly liquid and safe because the risk of the trade transaction is
transferred to the bank which “accepts” the obligation to pay the investor.
BENCHMARK. A comparison security or portfolio. A performance benchmark is a partial market
index, which reflects the mix of securities allowed under a specific investment policy.
BID. The price at which a buyer offers to buy a security.
BROKER. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a transaction for which the broker
receives a commission. A broker does not sell securities from his own position.
CALLABLE. A callable security gives the issuer the option to call it from the investor prior to its
maturity. The main cause of a call is a decline in interest rates. If interest rates decline
since an issuer issues securities, it will likely call its current securities and reissue them at
a lower rate of interest. Callable securities have reinvestment risk as the investor may
receive its principal back when interest rates are lower than when the investment was
initially made.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD). A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate.
Large denomination CDs may be marketable.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNT REGISTRY SYSTEM (CDARS). A private placement service
that allows local agencies to purchase more than $250,000 in CDs from a single financial
institution (must be a participating institution of CDARS) while still maintaining FDIC
insurance coverage. CDARS is currently the only entity providing this service. CDARS
facilitates the trading of deposits between the California institution and other participating
institutions in amounts that are less than $250,000 each, so that FDIC coverage is
maintained.
COLLATERAL. Securities or cash pledged by a borrower to secure repayment of a loan or
repurchase agreement. Also, securities pledged by a financial institution to secure
deposits of public monies.
COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMO). Classes of bonds that redistribute the cash
flows of mortgage securities (and whole loans) to create securities that have different
levels of prepayment risk, as compared to the underlying mortgage securities.
COMMERCIAL PAPER. The short-term unsecured debt of corporations.
COST YIELD. The annual income from an investment divided by the purchase cost. Because it
does not give effect to premiums and discounts which may have been included in the
purchase cost, it is an incomplete measure of return.
ATTACHMENT 7 - Page 10 of 13
11
COUPON. The rate of return at which interest is paid on a bond.
CREDIT RISK. The risk that principal and/or interest on an investment will not be paid in a timely
manner due to changes in the condition of the issuer.
CURRENT YIELD. The annual income from an investment divided by the current market value.
Since the mathematical calculation relies on the current market value rather than the
investor’s cost, current yield is unrelated to the actual return the investor will earn if the
security is held to maturity.
DEALER. A dealer acts as a principal in security transactions, selling securities from and buying
securities for his own position.
DEBENTURE. A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.
DELIVERY VS. PAYMENT (DVP). A securities industry procedure whereby payment for a security
must be made at the time the security is delivered to the purchaser’s agent.
DERIVATIVE. Any security that has principal and/or interest payments which are subject to
uncertainty (but not for reasons of default or credit risk) as to timing and/or amount, or any
security which represents a component of another security which has been separated from
other components (“Stripped” coupons and principal). A derivative is also defined as a
financial instrument the value of which is totally or partially derived from the value of
another instrument, interest rate, or index.
DISCOUNT. The difference between the par value of a bond and the cost of the bond, when the
cost is below par. Some short-term securities, such as T-bills and banker’s acceptances,
are known as discount securities. They sell at a discount from par, and return the par value
to the investor at maturity without additional interest. Other securities, which have fixed
coupons, trade at a discount when the coupon rate is lower than the current market rate
for securities of that maturity and/or quality.

M. TRAFFIC VIOLATOR APPREHENSION PROGRAM:
1. COUNTY has established a Traffic Violator Apprehension Program [“the
Program”], which is operated by SHERIFF, and is designed to reduce
vehicle accidents caused by unlicensed drivers and drivers whose licenses
are suspended and to educate the public about the requirements of the
Vehicle Code and related safety issues with regard to driver licensing,
vehicle registration, vehicle operation, and vehicle parking. The Program
operates throughout the unincorporated area s of the COUNTY and in the
cities that contract with COUNTY for SHERIFF’s law enforcement services,
without regard to jurisdictional boundaries, because an area -wide approach
to reduction of traffic accidents and driver education is most effective in
preventing traffic accidents. In order for CITY to participate in the Program,
CITY has adopted a fee pursuant to Vehicle Code section 22850.5, in the
amount and under the terms and conditions set forth in the TVAP resolution
that is attached to this Agreement as Attachment F and incorporated into
this Agreement by reference, and has directed that the revenue from such
fee be used for the Program. CITY’s participation in the Program may be
terminated at any time by rescission or amendment of the TVAP resolutio n
that is attached to this Agreement as Attachment F. In the event CITY 1)
amends said TVAP resolution, or rescinds said TVAP resolution and adopts
a new TVAP resolution pertaining to the above -referenced fee and the
Program, and 2) remains a participant in the Program thereafter, CITY’s
Manager, on behalf of CITY, and SHERIFF, on behalf of COUNTY, have

authority to execute an amendment to this Agreement to substitute CITY’s
amended or new TVAP resolution for Attachment F to the Agreement, as
long as said amendment to this Agreement does not materially change any
other provision of this Agreement.
2. COUNTY will make available for review, at the request of CITY, all financial
data related to the Program as may be requested by CITY.
3. Fee revenue generated by COUNTY and participating cities will be used to
fund the following positions, which will be assigned to the Program:
Ten one hundredths of one (0.10) Sergeant
(8 hours per two-week pay period)
One (1) Staff Specialist
(80 hours per two-week pay period)
One (1) Office Specialist
(80 hours per two-week pay period)
4. Fee revenue generated by CITY may be used to reimburse CITY for
expenditures for equipment and/or supplies directly in support of the
Program. In order for an expenditure for equipment and/or supplies to be
eligible for reimbursement, CITY shall submit a request for and obtain pre -
approval of the expenditure by using the form as shown in Attachment G.
The request shall be submitted within the budget schedule established by
SHERIFF. SHERIFF shall approve the expenditure only if both of the
following conditions are satisfied: 1) there are sufficient Program funds,
attributable to revenue generated by CITY’s fee, to pay for the requested
purchase, and 2) CITY will use the equipment and/or supplies, during their
entire useful life, only for purposes authorized by its TVAP resolution in
effect at the time of purchase.

M. TRAFFIC VIOLATOR APPREHENSION PROGRAM: (Continued)
In the event that CITY terminates its participation in the Program, CITY
agrees that the equipment purchased by CITY and reimbursed by Program
funds will continue to be used, during the remainder of its useful life,
exclusively for the purposes authorized by CITY’s TVAP resolution in effect
at the time of purchase.
In the event the fees adopted by COUNTY, CITY and other participating
jurisdictions are not adequate to continue operation of the Program at the
level at which it operated previously, COUNTY, at the option of CITY, will
reduce the level of Program service to be provided to CITY or will continue
to provide the existing level of Program services. COUNTY will charge CITY
the cost of any Program operations that exceed the revenue generated by
fees. Such charges shall be in addition to the Maximum Obligation of CITY
set forth in Subsection G-2 of this Agreement. The amount of any revenue
shortfall charged to CITY will be determined, at the time the revenue
shortfall is experienced, according to CITY’s share of Program service s
rendered. In the event of a reduction in level of Program service,
termination of Program service or adjustment of costs, the parties shall
execute an amendment to the Agreement so providing. Decisions about
how to reduce the level of Program service p rovided to CITY shall be made
by SHERIFF with the approval of CITY.
N. MOBILE DATA COMPUTERS:
1. As part of the law enforcement services to be provided to CITY, COUNTY
has provided, or will provide, mobile data computers (hereinafter called
“MDCs”) that are or will be mounted in patrol vehicles and motorcycles,

2. SHERIFF has the exclusive right to use said MDCs for law enforcement
services related to this Agreement.

COUNTY BILLING POLICY
APPROVED BY BOARD MINUTE ORDER DATED OCTOBER 27, 1992
I. POLICY
All County agencies/departments/districts (County) governed by the Board of Supervisors
shall bill contracting entities for materials and/or services provided under contract in
accordance with the following standardized billing and collection policy. Billing frequency is
dependent on whether the contract is a fixed price or actual cost contract. Payment due
date is designed to be both responsive to the County’s cash flow needs and reasonable
enough as to not require special processing by the contracting entity. If payments are not
received by the required due dates, a late payment fee shall be computed and billed to the
contracting entity in accordance with the requirements of this procedure.
Nothing herein shall affect the liability, including pre-judgment interest, of the contracting
party for services or materials in as much as this is a policy to enact standard billing
practices.
II. DEFINITIONS
A. Contract for the purposes of this policy - A contract is a formal written agreement, a
purchase order from the contracting entity, or any other acceptable mutual
understanding between the contracting parties.
B. Received by the County - The phrase “received by the County”, as used in Section VI of
this policy, refers to the date a payment is received by the County. It is defined as the
date the payment is in the County’s possession. It is not the date the payment is posted
or deposited by the County.
III. FIXED PRICE CONTRACTS

one-time, non-recurring provision of materials and/or services shall be issued no later
than five (5) working days after delivery by the County of the materials and/or services.
Examples of such one-time, non-recurring provision of materials and/or services might
be a city contracting with the Sheriff for security service at a parade or sporting event; or,
a city purchasing a computer listing containing certain city-requested data. Payment due
date shall be invoice date plus 30 days.
B. Fixed Price (Ongoing/Recurring Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for an
ongoing, recurring provision of materials and/or services shall be issued according to the
following frequency:
1. Annual Billings that total $10,000 or less per 12-month period shall be billed via one
(1) annual invoice. Annual invoices will be issued for each 12-month period of the
contract, or portions thereof. Invoices shall be issued no later than five working days
after the beginning of each 12-month period. Payment due date shall be invoice date
plus 30 days.
Page 2 of 4
2. Quarterly Billings that are greater than $10,000 but not more than $200,000 per 12-
month period, shall be billed in quarterly installments. Quarterly invoices will be
issued representing the contract amount for each 12-month period of the contract, or
portions thereof, prorated into four (4) installments. Invoices shall be issued no later
than 30 days after the beginning of each quarter. Payment due date shall be 60 days
after the beginning of each calendar quarter.
3. Monthly Billings that are greater than $200,000 per 12-month period shall be billed in
monthly installments. Monthly invoices will be issued representing the contract
amount for each 12-month period of the contract, or portions thereof, prorated into 12
installments. Invoices shall be issued on or before the first day of each service
month. Payment due date shall be 30 days after the beginning of each ser vice
month.
An example of a fixed price contract for ongoing, recurring provision of materials and/or
services might be a city contracting with the Sheriff for law enforcement services.
IV. ACTUAL COST CONTRACTS
A. Actual Cost (One-Time/Non-Recurring Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for a
one-time, non-recurring provision of materials and/or services shall be issued after
delivery by the County of the materials and/or services and no later than 15 days after
actual cost data is available. Payment due date shall be invoice date plus 30 days.
B. Actual Cost (Ongoing/Recurring Contracts) - Invoices that represent a billing for an
ongoing, recurring provision of materials and/or services shall be issued on a monthly
basis and shall represent the cost of materials and/or services provided to the
contracting entity during the previous calendar month. Such invoices shall be issued no
later than 15 days after the close of the monthly billing period. If the County
agency/department/district does not utilize a monthly billing cycle, the invoice shall be
issued no later than 15 days after actual cost data is available. Payment due date shall
be invoice date plus 30 days.
Examples of actual cost contracts for the ongoing, recurring provision of materials and/or
services might be a city contracting with the County for communications equipment
repair or waste disposal at a County landfill.
V. PAYMENT DUE DATES
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections II and III above, payment due date shall be at
least invoice date plus 30 days. If the County is late in issuing an invoice, the contracting
entity would always have at least invoice date plus 30 days to pay. If the County is early in
issuing an invoice, the contracting entity would still have a payment due date of either 60
days after the beginning of the quarter (quarterly invoices) or 30 days after the beginning of
the service month (monthly invoices).
(EXAMPLES: An invoice for October service, dated and issued October 8 (late) would have
a payment due date of November 7. An invoice for August service, dated and issued July 20
(early) would have a payment due date of August 30.)
Page 3 of 4
VI. LATE CHARGES
The late payment of any invoiced amount by a contracting entity will cause the County to
incur costs not contemplated by the County/contracting entity agreement, the exact amount
of such cost will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
costs such as administrative follow-up and processing of delinquent notices, increased
accounting costs, etc.
Late charges will be assessed in the following situations:
Over-the-counter payments will be assessed a late charge if any payment is not received
by the County by the payment due date.
Payments transmitted to the County via the U.S. Mail that have the payer’s postage
meter mark will be assessed a late charge if any payment is not received by the County
by the payment due date plus one day.
Payments transmitted to the County via the U.S. Mail that have a U.S. Post Office
postmark dated after the payment due date will be assessed a late charge.
The late charge assessed in each of these situations shall be three-quarters of one percent
(0.75%) of the payment due and unpaid plus $100.00 for late payments made within 30 days
of the payment due date. An additional charge of three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of
said payment shall be added for each additional 30-day period that the payment remains
unpaid. Late charges shall be added to the payment and invoiced to the contracting entity in
accordance with this policy.
VII. COLLECTIONS
Any invoice remaining unpaid 90 days after the invoice date shall be referred to the Auditor-
Controller for subsequent collection action, such as deduction from contracting entity
moneys on deposit with the County Treasurer in accordance with Government Code Section
907 and any other applicable provision of law. Non-payment of invoices and applicable late
charges will constitute a breach of contract for which the County retains all legal remedies
including termination of the contract.
VIII. DISCOUNT FOR EARLY PAYMENT
Any payment received by the County from a contracting entity 20 days or more before the
payment due date shall be entitled to a discount of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%). If
the contracting entity takes a discount, and the payment is received by the County less than
20 days before the payment due date, County staff shall immediately notify the contracting
entity by telephone that the discount should not have been taken and that the balance is due
by the original payment due date.
If the balance is not received by the County in accordance with the dates as specified in
Section VII, applicable late charges shall be calculated on the balance due.
Page 4 of 4
IX. DEFERRED REVENUE
At fiscal year end, any portion of revenue invoiced (not necessarily received) during the fiscal
year being closed out that represents charges or prepayment for materials and/or services
for the upcoming fiscal year shall be reclassified from a revenue account to a deferred
revenue account (liability). In the new fiscal year the deferred revenue shall be reclassified
to a revenue account. (EXAMPLE: On June 1, 19X1, a city is invoiced $48,000 which
represents charges for the 12-month period June 1, 19X1 to May 31, 19X2. The amount to
be reclassified to deferred revenue would be $44,000, representing 11/12ths of the total
amount. In July 19X1, the $44,000 would be reclassified to revenue.) Reclassification
entries shall be made by Auditor-Controller Agency Accounting units, or for those
agencies/departments/districts without such a unit, the agency/department/district shall notify
the Auditor-Controller of the amounts to be reclassified.
X. COST RECOVERY
All County agencies/department/districts shall include all costs of providing contracted
services in contract rates. Including all direct costs, allocated indirect costs such as
departmental and County (CWCAP) overhead, and cost of capital financing.
XI. EXISTING CONTRACTS
Billing terms and provisions contained in existing contracting entity agreements (existing as
of the date this policy is approved by the Board of Supervisors) shall remain in effect for the
life of the contract. However, when these existing contracts are renegotiated, they shall
contain the billing provisions as set forth in this policy.
XII. DEVIATIONS FROM POLICY
Deviations from this policy shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors. Proposed
deviations by agencies/departments/districts shall be submitted to the CEO for concurrence
in advance of filing an Agenda Item Transmittal (AIT) with the Clerk of the Board. The CEO,
or his/her designee, shall advise the agency/department/district of approval or disapproval of
the proposed deviations. If a County agency/department/district submits a contract to the
Board of Supervisors for approval, and the billing provisions in the contract deviate from this
policy, the agency/department/district shall specifically advise the Board of Supervisors in
the AIT of the deviation, the reason for the deviation, and of the CEO’s recommendation
relative thereto.

5/7/2020 Rev.
ATTACHMENT E
POLICY FOR DISTRIBUTION OF FORFEITED AND SEIZED ASSETS
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department provides contract law enforcement services to cities in
Orange County. Because of the increased likelihood that contracted patrol or investigation personnel
may become involved in significant narcotic seizures, which could affect law enforcement services
provided by the Sheriff’s Department to contract cities, the following policy is in effect.
CONTRACTED PATROL AND INVESTIGATION OFFICERS
When assets (cash or property) are seized in CITY by contracted patrol or investigation
personnel, and subsequently forfeited to COUNTY’s Sheriff Department, hereinafter referred
to as “SHERIFF”, the forfeited assets shall be shared with CITY as set forth below, for the
purpose of augmenting law enforcement services in CITY, subject to guidelines by the forfeiting
agency of such sharing and use of forfeited assets. A portion of forfeited assets may be
retained by SHERIFF, to pay for departmental expenses not recovered through law
enforcement contracts.
In such cases, pursuant to the forfeiting agency’s guidelines, SHERIFF shall apply to the
forfeiting agency for the return of a share of assets. In his application, SHERIFF shall specify
the percentage of shared assets returned to SHERIFF that will be used to augment law
enforcement services in CITY and the use of said assets by CITY.
In those cases in which assets are seized within CITY by personnel assigned to CITY pursuant
to this Agreement, without the involvement of other law enforcement personnel, and in which
the seizure is a result solely of activities self-initiated by SHERIFF personnel assigned to CITY
or initiated by said personnel in response to calls for service within CITY, SHERIFF shall apply
to have all of the assets used to augment CITY law enforcement services.
In those cases in which SHERIFF personnel assigned to CITY pursuant to this Agreement play
an ancillary role in a seizure or in which other law enforcement personnel are involved in a
seizure, SHERIFF shall determine the percentage of the total forfeited assets for which he will
apply to augment CITY’s law enforcement services. This determination will be based on the
circumstances of the seizure, including the pro-rata involvement of all personnel, including
those assigned to CITY.
Each seizure will be evaluated on an individual and independent basis, and said evaluations
will be available for review to CITY’s manager. Examples of those incidents which would be
evaluated as set forth in this section include situations in which a contract patrol deputy
provides uniformed backup at a SHERIFF’s Narcotic Bureau search warrant location or in
which contract investigators participate in the service of a search warrant that was initiated by
non-contract law enforcement personnel.
Assets (cash or property) that are returned to SHERIFF by the forfeiting agency with the
understanding that they will be used to augment CITY law enforcement services shall be used
by CITY and SHERIFF only for such purposes. If the forfeiting agency attaches additional or
more specific conditions to the use of said assets, CITY and SHERIFF shall also abide by
those conditions. SHERIFF and CITY’s manager shall determine the specific use of said
assets within the conditions imposed by the forfeiting agency.

of this Agreement, the full costs of said increases to the extent such

Agreement originally was executed. The purpose of such adjustment of
service levels will be to give CITY the option of keeping its Maximum
Obligation hereunder at the pre-increase level or at any other higher or
lower level specified by CITY. In the event of such reduction in level of
service and adjustment of costs, the parties shall execute an amendment to
this Agreement so providing. Decisions about how to reduce the level of
service provided to CITY shall be made by SHERIFF with the approval of
CITY.

charges for such increases in its monthly invoices to CITY for the balance
of the period between July 1, 20 21 and June 30, 2022.
G-8. As payment for the Licensing Services described in Subsection C -8 of this
Agreement, COUNTY shall retain all fees paid by applicants to the County
for licenses, pursuant to CITY ordinances listed in Attachment B hereto.
Retention of said fees by COUNTY shall constitute payment in full to
COUNTY for costs incurred by COUNTY in performing the functions related
to licensing described in Subsection C-8; provided, however, that if any of
said fees are waived or reduced by CITY, CITY shall pay to COUNTY the
difference between the amount of fees retained by COUNTY and the fees
that were set forth in the ordinances listed in Attachment B as of
July 1, 2021. Should CITY increase the fee schedule for the licensing
ordinances set forth in Attachment B, either party shall have the right to
seek amendment of this Agreement with respect to the division of the
increased fees between CITY and COUNTY.”

“M-1. COUNTY has established a Traffic Violator Apprehension Program [“the
Program”], which is operated by SHERIFF, and is designed to reduce
vehicle accidents caused by unlicensed drivers and drivers whose licenses
are suspended and to educate the public about the requirements of the
Vehicle Code and related safety issues with regard to driver licensin g,
vehicle registration, vehicle operation, and vehicle parking. The Program
operates throughout the unincorporated areas of the COUNTY and in the
cities that contract with COUNTY for SHERIFF’s law enforcement services,
without regard to jurisdictional boundaries, because an area-wide approach
to reduction of traffic accidents and driver education is most effective in
preventing traffic accidents. In order for CITY to participate in the Program,
CITY has adopted fees pursuant to Vehicle Code section 22850.5, in the
same amount as approved by COUNTY, as set forth in the TVAP resolution
that is attached to this Agreement as Attachment F and incorporated into
this Agreement by reference, and has directed that the revenue from such
fee be used for the Program. CITY’s participation in the Program may be
terminated at any time by rescission or amendment of the TVAP resolution
that is attached to this Agreement as Attachment F. In the event CITY 1)
amends said TVAP resolution, or rescinds said TVAP resolution an d adopts
a new TVAP resolution pertaining to the above-referenced fees and the
Program, and 2) remains a participant in the Program thereafter, CITY’s
Manager, on behalf of CITY, and SHERIFF, on behalf of COUNTY, have
authority to execute an amendment to this Agreement to substitute CITY’s
amended or new TVAP resolution for Attachment F to the Agreement, as
long as said amendment to this Agreement does not materially change any
other provision of this Agreement. As COUNTY updates its fees for the
Program periodically, COUNTY will provide written notice to CITY of the

COMPUTERS, Subsection N-3, of the Agreement is amended to read as
follows:
“N-3. CITY shall pay COUNTY the full costs to COUNTY of a) the acquisition

motorcycles assigned to CITY, and b) recurring costs, as deemed
necessary by COUNTY, including the costs of maintenance and
contributions to a fund for replacement and upgrade of such MDCs when
they become functionally or technologically obsolete.
The costs to be paid by CITY for re curring costs, including maintenance
and replacement/upgrade of MDCs, are included in the costs set forth in
Attachment A and the Maximum Obligation of CITY set forth in Subsection
G-2 of this Agreement unless CITY has already paid such costs. CITY shall
not be charged additional amounts for maintenance or
replacement/upgrade of said MDCs during the period July 1, 20 21 through

II. OVERTIME
Whenever, at the discretion of the appointing authority, an employee works beyond forty (40) hours
in a designated work period, such person shall be compensated for such overtime work to the nearest 15
minutes at time-and-one-half his/her regular compensation, or receive compensatory time off earned at
time-and-one-half rate. Whenever, at the discretion of the appointing authority, an employee works
beyond twelve (12) hours in one work day, such person shall be compensated for such overtime beyond
the twelve hours to the nearest 15 minutes at double the rate of his/her regular compensation, or receive
compensatory time off earned at double rate. Compensation for overtime shall be in the form of pay,
unless the affected employee requests compensatory time. Management shall have the right to deny
payment in the form of compensatory time.
The employee may accumulate and hold for future use no more than 220 hours (230 hours beginning
July 2018) at any one time of compensatory time, and at the end of the fiscal year, may carry over no
more than 80 hours of compensatory time for use in the next fiscal year. Compensatory time may
only be cashed out at the hourly-rate that was in place when the compensatory time was accrued. Prior
to the implementation of any salary adjustment, all accumulated compensatory time must be taken as
paid leave subject to the approval of the department head or paid out as compensation. All other
overtime hours accumulated to that point shall be paid at the end of the fiscal year. Such compensatory
time off is subject to approval of the Department Head.
Employees may elect to cash-out compensatory time on a quarterly basis, in accordance with the schedule
provided by the Finance Department.
Overtime requested by an employee to adjust the employee's work schedule shall be considered flex time
and is not subject to compensation at the rate of time-and-one- half.
Overtime shall be assigned/offered to full-time, regular employees before being assigned/offered to part-
time or temporary employees. Part-time or temporary employees may work overtime only if no full-time
regular employee is available and/or interested in working the overtime.
The City shall assign overtime with due regard to an equitable and fair distribution of work, whenever
possible.

per month (i.e., the employee receives $125 per month because of the additional ability to

who provides verbal translation only). Employees assigned to translate written information will
be required to be certified as qualified by the City.
The City, at its discretion, may reassign an employee from a bilingual assignment to a position which does
not require a bilingual assignment. An employee in a bilingual assignment may request assignment to a
position that does not require bilingual assignment. The request shall be made in writing to the City
Manager, who will consider it according to the needs and availability of a qualified replacement.
V. UNIFORM/WORK BOOT ALLOWANCE
The City will provide uniform shirts, pants and work boots to all field positions in the unit of representation

VI. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM
City employees may elect to have a portion of their salary withheld. The deferred amount is tax-free until
actually received and is invested in the meantime. As prescribed by applicable laws or plan provisions,
funds may be withdrawn upon resignation, retirement or to a beneficiary upon death.
The City shall establish a deferred compensation "matching fund" and match voluntary employee
contributions up to $20 (twenty dollars) per month.
Upon separation from the City, employees shall have the following contribution made to the 401(a) plan:
Contribution to 401(a) Plan Upon Separation
Years of Full-Time City of
San Juan Capistrano
Experience
Sick Leave Longevity
0-5 (Total Sick Leave Hours-288) x 5%
6-10 (Total Sick Leave Hours-288) x 7.5% N/A
11-15 (Total Sick Leave Hours-288) x 10%
More than 15 (Total Sick Leave Hours-288) x 12.5% 12.5%
Upon separation from the City, employees shall have the following contribution made to the RHS plan:
Contribution to RHS Plan Upon Separation
Years of Full-Time City of
San Juan Capistrano
Experience
Sick Leave Longevity
0-5 (Total Sick Leave Hours-288) x 5%
6-10 (Total Sick Leave Hours-288) x 7.5% N/A
11-15 (Total Sick Leave Hours-288) x 10%
More than 15 (Total Sick Leave Hours-288) x 12.5% 12.5%
The City will make the necessary revisions to the deferred compensation plan documents and any and all
City policies to conform to the above contribution distribution schedule.
As an illustration of how the contributions work upon separation, an employee who has 1000 hours of
accrued and unused sick leave at the time of separation, has 15 years of full-time SJC experience, and is
eligible for 50% payout of Sick Leave, will be compensated for 500 Total Sick Leave Hours (TSLH) (1000 x .5
= 500). Two-hundred-eighty-eight (288) hours will be deducted from the 500 TSLH (but cashed-out as part
of the 477.6 hours noted below), for a total of 112 hours, and 10%, or the dollar value of 11.2 hours, will
be contributed into the 401(a) plan, and an additional 10%, or the dollar value of another 11.2 hours, will
be contributed into the RHS plan. The employee will receive in cash, subject to all applicable taxes and
withholdings, the dollar value of 477.6 hours of Sick Leave (500 – 11.2 – 11.2 = 477.6). Employees whose
TSLH do not amount to more than 288 hours shall receive cash, subject to all applicable taxes and
withholdings, for all such hours.
An employee eligible for the Longevity pay shall receive the remaining 75% in cash, subject to all applicable
taxes and withholdings.

XIII. WORK DAY AND WORK WEEK
The official work-period designation for most employees of the City of San Juan Capistrano shall be forty
(40) hours from Friday at 11:30 a.m. to the following Friday at 11:30 a.m. The official workday shall be
Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with
alternate schedules to meet Department operations or to meet special employees' needs due to
transportation or caregiver issues.
It shall be the duty of each Department Head to arrange the work of the department so that each
employee therein shall work not more than five (5) consecutive days in each calendar week except that
a Department Head, with approval of the City Manager or designee, may require any employee in the
department to temporarily perform service in excess of the designated work day or workweek when
public necessity or convenience so requires. Department Heads will not temporarily change an
employee's regular work schedule to avoid payment of overtime.
XIV. EMERGENCY STAND-BY/CALL OUT
Employees who are in classifications that require the performance of stand-by duty as an essential
function of their position, shall during "off hours" 1) monitor the duty phone and/or pager, 2) remain
in the local area (no more than 20 miles from City Hall site), 3) remain fit for duty, and 4) respond to any
and all call outs within 15 minutes.
Employees shall be compensated at the rate of California's minimum wage for every hour or portion of an
hour while on stand-by duty. Calls for service shall be reported and compensated at the overtime rate
of pay pursuant to the Personnel Rules and Regulations. Calls for service requiring the employee
to respond to the field shall be paid at a two hour minimum. Multiple calls received within any two
hour period already being paid will not result in any additional compensation. Additionally, call
outs that result in the two hour minimum period overlapping into the regular work schedule will revert
to regular pay at the beginning of the regular work day. For each hour or portion thereof of work
performed and compensated as overtime during "off hours", stand-by pay shall be reduced by the amount
of overtime hours incurred.
At the option of the Department Head, employees may either receive their stand-by compensation as
compensatory time off or as compensation in the current pay period. Consideration shall be given
to effectuating the wishes of employees. Employees with existing compensatory time balances of at least
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 10 of 31
8
two-hundred twenty (220) hours shall not be eligible to receive stand-by compensation as compensatory
time.
Employees not on stand-by status when called out to the field for an emergency shall be compensated at
the overtime rate of pay pursuant to the Personnel Rules and Regulations with a three hour minimum.
Additionally, employees not on stand-by status who have not physically worked their regular number
of workday hours, shall, when called out on a bona-fide emergency, be paid at 1 1/2 times their regular
pay for all bona fide emergency hours worked.
Scheduled overtime does not constitute a bona-fide emergency. Bona-fide emergencies are those that
occur due to a natural disaster such as fire, flood, earthquake, storm, or landslide. They may occur
due to damage to the infrastructure of the city such as inoperative valves, pipeline breaks, leakage in
potable or sewage systems or traffic control lights. Traffic accidents may trigger bona-fide emergencies
if they require City employees to repair or clean up damage or assist with traffic control. Citizen
complaints that require after-hours attention are bona-fide emergencies.
Classified employees who occasionally receive phone calls outside of their regularly scheduled working
hours from standby personnel or personnel on an emergency call-out, to get supervisory direction, shall
receive a minimum of 30 minutes of regular pay for each phone call.
XV. VACATION
a. Vacation Accrual
Classified employees shall accrue vacation hours based on the following schedule:
Length of Service Annual Hours Accrued
0-3 years 80
4-7 years 132
8-10 years 148
11-19 years 164
20 years or more 172
Accrual at the next highest increment rate shall commence on the first day of the fourth,
eighth, eleventh and twentieth year of employment, respectively. For example, an employee
hired on January 1, 2010 would accrue at 80 hours per year, until January 1, 2013, when the
accrual rate would change to 132 hours per year.
The maximum amount of vacation time, which may be accrued and used, for time-off shall
be 300 hours; vacation accrual shall cease upon reaching 300 hours. The maximum amount
of vacation time, which will be compensated for in cash upon separation from City, shall be
300 hours. It shall be the responsibility of the employee to utilize credited vacation leave
within the limitations set forth herein.
Bargaining unit employees who have reached the maximum accrual of
300 hours shall have the right to "cash out" up to 40 hours of vacation per fiscal year if they
have used at least two weeks of vacation within the previous 12 months, and obtain approval
from their Department Head. Requests to "cash out" vacation based on the criteria stated
above may be submitted when a bargaining unit employee reaches 280 hours. The hours will
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 11 of 31
9
be paid out to the employee during the pay period when the employee reaches the 300 hour
limit to avoid the loss of any accrual due to the limit being reached.
On January 1, 2015, vacation accruals that exceed 300 hours will be reduced to 280 hours and
set aside in a separate bank, which shall be used before other vacation leave hours.
b. Vacation Usage
Total vacation allowance shall be based upon the number of months of City service computed
to the nearest half month. It shall be the responsibility of the employee and Department
Head to assure utilization of credited vacation leave within the limitations set forth herein.
The time during the calendar year at which an employee may take vacation leave shall be
determined by the Department Head, but with due consideration of the employee’s request
and particular regard for the needs of the City. Eligible employees shall accrue vacation
beginning with the date of hire.
c. Vacation Benefits for Terminating Employees
In the event of termination of employment, the employee shall be paid for any accrued and
unused vacation leave and compensation time which has accrued within the limits specified
above.
d. Holidays Occurring During Vacation
When one or more legal municipal holidays fall within a vacation leave, such day or days shall
not be charged as the vacation leave.
XVI. SICK LEAVE
Sick leave shall mean the time during which an employee is permitted to be absent from the duties of City
service by reason of sickness or injury which incapacitates or prevents the employee from performing
assigned duties, without any deduction being made from salary or compensation, and shall include, in
certain cases, serious illness or death of a member of the employee's immediate family.
It will be the responsibility of the Department Head to periodically review the use of sick leave in the
department. Abuse of sick leave may be used as a factor in determining employee performance for
employee evaluations. The legitimate use of FMLA qualified sick leave shall not be used as a factor in
determining employee performance for evaluation.
Sick Leave Allowance
Employees shall be entitled to eight (8) hours sick leave for each calendar month of service. There
shall be no limit on the amount of sick leave which may be accumulated.
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 12 of 31
10
a. When Sick Leave May Be Taken
Sick leave may not be used until it is earned. Sick leave earned during a pay period may be utilized for
a qualifying absence occurring during that pay period. Sick leave shall be taken only in case of actual
and necessary sickness or disability of the employee.
If an employee has exhausted all accrued sick leave, the employee may utilize accrued vacation time,
compensatory time, and/or floating holiday leave to cover an absence that would otherwise be
unpaid, provided that the absence is supported by a doctor’s note when requested by the City.
Nothing herein shall prevent the City from disciplining an employee for abuse of sick leave under the
Personnel Rules.
Eligible employees may utilize a maximum of ninety-six (96) hours of accumulated sick leave with
pay in the event of 1) the employee's presence is required elsewhere because of family medical
and dental appointments, serious illness, injury, disability or death of a member of the employee's
immediate family; 2) official order to appear in court as a litigant or as a witness; and 3) personal
necessity as defined and limited below.
Personal necessity leave can be used by an employee at a rate of 24 hours per year for absences
other than illness or disability and the absences shall be deducted from accumulated sick leave.
For the term of this contract (7/1/2021 – 6/30/2024), Personal necessity leave may be used at a rate
of 33 hours per fiscal year. At the conclusion of the contract, Personal necessity leave will revert back
to 24 hours per fiscal year. Sick leave or personal necessity leave is not intended for taking care of
personal business which could be taken care of at another time.
Personal necessity is considered to be:
i. a personal matter that requires your attention which cannot be taken care of except
during the normal working hours; or
ii. a matter that requires your attention, such as a hot water heater flooding your home, fire
or robbery.
The nature of the personal necessity need not be disclosed in writing on the Absence Request
Form, but it shall be discussed with the employee's Supervisor, Department Head, and the
Personnel Officer or designee. This information shall be treated confidentially by all parties
involved.
Sick leave shall not be used in lieu of or in addition to vacation for the intent of extending vacation.
When an employee is compelled to be absent from employment by reason of injury arising from and
in the course of City employment as determined by the Workers' Compensation law, the employee
may elect to apply accrued sick leave, if any, in such amount that when added to Workers’
Compensation benefits equals the employee's gross salary. Earned vacation time and compensatory
time off may be utilized in a similar manner.
b. Notification of Illness by Employee
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 13 of 31
11
An employee on sick leave shall notify their supervisor no later than the beginning of the assigned
workday. When on FMLA leave, the employee will be required to notify the City in compliance with
the Family Medical Leave Act.
c. Return From Sick Leave
Upon returning from sick leave, a physician's certificate may be required if, in the opinion of the
Department Head, it appears that an employee may be abusing sick leave privileges or to determine
the validity of the employee's absence during the time for which sick leave was requested.
Any employee absent from duty on sick leave for three (3) consecutive work days due to illness or
accident may, at the discretion of the Department Head, be required to submit to a physical
examination by a physician designated by the City to determine fitness to return. The cost of this
examination is borne by the City.
d. Sick Leave Payout Prior to Separation of Employment
At the employee's request, the City will compensate in cash or in time off for unused sick leave accrued
above 288 hours. The compensation formula will be consistent with the payout levels established in
the Personnel Rules and Regulations, based upon years of service.
e. Sick Leave Compensation Upon Termination of Employment
City employees who terminate employment within the City shall be compensated in cash for unused
sick leave at final rate of pay based on the following:
Employees Hired Before July 1, 1999 Employees Hired On or After July 1, 1999
Less than 2 years: None Less than 2 years: None
2 to less than 15 years: 50% More than 2 years: 50%
15 to less than 20 years: 75%
20 or more years: 100%
There shall be no maximum amount of unused sick leave eligible for cash compensation subject
to the foregoing schedule.
f. Annual Sick Leave Incentive Program
Employees with greater than 288 hours of sick leave and who have used two days or fewer in the
previous fiscal year shall have the right to cash-out up to two days of sick leave at 100% the following
July 15th. This will be paid out on the last pay-check in July.
XVII. BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
An employee shall be granted a leave without loss of pay in case of death of a member of the employee's
immediate family. Such leave is designated as bereavement leave. Up to five (5) days leave without loss
of pay shall be granted for the death of a member of the employee's immediate family. Immediate family
as used in this section is defined as the employee's spouse, child, foster child, grandchild, stepparent,
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 14 of 31
12
legal guardian, stepchild, parent, brother, sister, grandparent, grandparent-in-law, mother-in-law, father-
in-law or:
a. Any other relative by blood or marriage who is a member of the employee's household.
(Employees may be required to submit proof that the deceased relative was a member of the
employee's household prior to the time of death.)
b. Any other relative of the employee by blood or by marriage where it can be established by the
employee that as a result of such relative's death, the employee's presence is required to
handle funeral arrangements and/or matters of estate.
In addition, bereavement leave may be granted on a case by case basis under other circumstances at the
discretion of the City Manager or designee when it is in the best interest of the City to do so.
Time off beyond these parameters shall be charged to any type of available leave.
XVIII. SCHOOL ACTIVITY LEAVE
Pursuant to California Labor Code Sections 230.7 and 230.8, parents, guardians and grandparents having
custody, of school-age children shall be allowed leave from their jobs, with or without pay, as may be
necessary to participate in school activities such as parent-teacher conferences, disciplinary matters,
school programs and related events with their children. Such leave is limited to 40 hours per school year,
at a maximum of 8 hours per month. Employees must give reasonable advance notice to the employer to
permit work coverage, and may be required to provide documentation from the school that the employee
participated in the activity on the specific date and time. Leave properly requested in advance shall not
be denied.
XIX. JURY DUTY LEAVE
Regular and probationary employees who are summoned to serve on jury duty or subpoenaed as a
witness due to a work-related matter in any court in this State of the United States, or any administrative
board of tribunals, shall be entitled to a leave of absence with pay while serving. Employees may keep
fees and fees for mileage received while serving. Employees must return to work if not required to attend
jury duty on a particular day.
An employee who is released from jury duty with four hours or more remaining in his or her normal work
day shall report back to his/her supervisor. Reporting back means that the employee has contacted
his/her supervisor via a phone call (not a voicemail message), text, or email, and received a response back
from the supervisor. An employee may be required to show proof of attendance to serve on jury duty or
as a subpoenaed witness.
XX. DONATION OF BLOOD LEAVE
The City shall grant each employee in the unit of representation reasonable time off for the purpose of
making a donation of blood during City-sponsored blood drives. No charge will be made against vacation,
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 15 of 31
13
sick or any other type of leave when such absence is approved in advanced by the employee's
supervisor/department head.
XXI. FAMILY CARE LEAVE (See the City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations)
XXII. ON-THE-JOB INJURY LEAVE
Whenever an employee is compelled to be absent from active duty due to an injury disability arising out
of and in the course of employment, such employee shall be entitled to receive an On-the-Job Injury
Leave With Pay for up to the first three consecutive working days of such absence. The granting of such
leave shall be conditioned upon the following:
a. the absence is at the discretion of a licensed medical physician or other designated health care
professional.
b. supervisory personnel have been properly notified of such injury or disability and an on-the-job
injury report has been properly completed and submitted.
c. the injury occurred while the employee was performing work duties on the job. Whenever the
On-the-Job Injury Leave extends beyond the first three working days, the employee will be
allowed to use all accrued leave to supplement the Workers' Compensation allowance to achieve
the equivalent of 100% of his/her salary.

Certain employees will be required to work to provide essential services. Essential services required to
be provided during the closure will be determined by the City no later than July 1 of each year and

XXVI. MEDICAL, DENTAL, VISION INSURANCE AND COBRA
The City provides medical, vision and dental insurance for City employees. The insurance becomes
effective the first day of the month following the date of hire.
Medical Insurance - CalPERS
The City provides active employees in the bargaining unit up to the highest CalPERS HMO premium in each
coverage category (E, E+1 or E+Family). If the plan the employee selects costs less than the highest
HMO for his/her category, the employee's premiums are fully paid by the City and the employee does
not receive the difference between the highest HMO amount and the cost of the plan he/she selects. If
the plan the employee selects costs more than the highest HMO for his/her category, the difference is
paid by the employee through pre-tax payroll deduction.
The City's "total" contribution is calculated by adding the cost of the City's dental insurance and vision
insurance premiums to the highest HMO medical premium by coverage category. Together this is the
"Highest HMO Amount".
Effective January 1 2015, and each year thereafter, the Highest HMO Amount will be compared to the
Highest HMO Amount for the previous year by coverage type (E, E+1 or E+Family). Due to rate changes,
the new Highest HMO premium may be a different medical plan from a different health insurance carrier.
If the new Highest HMO Amount is larger than the previous year's total, the City's total contribution will
increase by 75% of the increase. Effective January 1, 2020, the City’s total contribution will decrease to
60% of the increase. If the new Highest HMO Amount is the same or less than the previous year's total,
the City's total contribution will remain the same.
Opting out of Medical Insurance
The City shall allow employees who show proof of group medical insurance coverage provided by a
spouse, to opt out of the City's medical insurance coverage. The City shall provide to employees who wish
to opt out of medical insurance coverage and meet the above criteria, an "opting out" amount of $325
per month. The opt-out amount will increase to $350 per month, effective January 1; 2019, $375 per
month, effective January 1, 2020; and $400 per month, effective January 1, 2021. Employees must remain
enrolled in the City's dental and vision plans. These premiums will be paid for by the City.
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 18 of 31
16
Vision Insurance - Vision Service Plan
Dental Insurance - Aetna
Effective January 1, 2015, the maximum allowable benefits under the dental insurance policy limit will
increase from $1,000 to $2,000.
COBRA
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) requires that the group health
plans provide employees and their dependents the opportunity to continue health care coverage under
the plan in certain circumstances where coverage under the group health plan would otherwise
terminate. While the City must make continued health coverage available, it can charge qualified
beneficiaries up to 102% of the cost of coverage if continuation of benefits under the group plan is desired.
Health Benefits While on Disability Leave of Absence
Whenever an employee is absent from work due to a physical or psychological injury or illness, the City
shall maintain the employee's coverage under the City's group health plan on the same conditions as
coverage would have been provided if the employee has been employed during the leave period, for a
period not to exceed twelve (12) continuous months.
XXVII. IRS CODE SECTION 125 PLAN
The City shall set up a Cafeteria Plan, under IRS Code Section 125, to pay for medical, dental and vision
premiums. The City shall provide to active employees in the bargaining unit a basic employee contribution
amount equal to the PEMCHA minimum contribution amount (adjusted annually) and a cafeteria
amount which added together equals a contribution amount as specified above in the previous section
(XXVI). Employees shall have the ability to elect which medical carrier to enroll with. Dental and vision
insurance coverage shall also be a part of the cafeteria plan.
The City will provide classified employees the opportunity to participate on a voluntary basis in a
Dependent Care Assistance Program (Section 129) under Internal Revenue Code Section 125, which allows
employees to redirect part of their salary, before it is taxed, to be used for child, elderly and
dependent care and eligible medical expenses.
XXVIII. RETIREE HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT
The City provides employees with a retiree health savings plan established through ICMA-RC.
XXIX. LIFE INSURANCE
The value of life insurance coverage for each classified employee is the equivalent to the annual salary,
plus $20,000.
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 19 of 31
17
XXX. PRE-PAID LEGAL SERVICES
The City will offer this benefit at the sole expense of the employee.
XXXI. COLLEGE SAVINGS PROGRAM (529 PLAN)
The City will offer this benefit at the sole expense of the employee.
XXXII. RETIRING EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM
The Retiring Employee Recognition Program provides for a salary incentive for long term City service. The
guidelines and definitions for this program are detailed in Administrative Policy No. 223, Retiring
Employees Recognition Program (Incentive for Long-Term City Service). Employees hired on or after July
1, 2009, are not eligible to participate in this program.
XXXIII. RETIREMENT PLAN
All full-time employees become a member of the Orange County Retirement System (OCRS). The City
shall pay 3.6% of the employee's share of the retirement contribution for the first two years of
employment. After two years of employment, the City shall pick up 100% of the employee's share of the
retirement contribution
Enhanced Retirement Benefit - The City has contracted with OCERS to provide an enhanced retirement
program with the Orange County Employees Retirement System (OCERS) for the 2.7% at 55 based on an
average three highest years salary benefit, effective January 1, 2004. This benefit will be applicable to all
years of service. The Classified group has agreed to an additional payroll deduction in order to offset the
increased cost of the employer share and employee share of the enhanced benefit. This additional
deduction will be as follows:
Less than two years of service 4.47%
After two years of service 6.26%
Effective July 1, 2012, each employee shall pay 50% of the employee contribution that was being paid on
behalf of the employee by the City prior to July 1, 2012. Effective July 1, 2013, each employee shall pay
the full employee contribution to retirement and the City will no longer pay any portion of the employee's
contribution to retirement. The intent of these changes is to have employee's paying the employee
contribution to retirement and the City paying the employer contribution to retirement. The
changes are being phased in two years with the first change taking effect July 1, 2012, and the second
change taking effect July 1, 2013.
Effective January 1, 2012, any new employees hired on or after January 1, 2012, shall pay the full employee
contribution to retirement with no payment of the employee's contribution by the City.
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 20 of 31
18
Effective on or about July 1, 2012, the City shall implement a second tier retirement formula (2%@57).
This second tier retirement formula shall apply to all employees hired on or after the date the second tier
formula becomes effective.
In accordance with the 2012 Pension Reform Act, effective January 1, 2013, the City shall implement a
third retirement formula which shall apply to new employees who become new members, as defined by
the Pension Reform Act, of the Orange County Employees Retirement System, on or after January 1, 2013.
Effective January 1, 2015, employees that are new to public service may choose between two retirement
plan options:
1. The Orange County Employees Retirement System's 2.5% @ 67 defined benefit retirement
formula.
Or
2. Hybrid Plan: The Orange County Employees Retirement System's 1.62% @ 65 defined benefit
formula combined with a 401(a) defined contribution retirement plan. Employees who choose
the Hybrid Plan may make voluntary and irrevocable contributions, including leave payouts, to
the 401(a) defined contribution retirement plan. They City will match an employee's
contribution to the 401(a) defined contribution plan up to one (1%) of the employee's base
salary.
Eligible employees have thirty (30) days from the date of hire to elect the 2.5% @ 67·defined benefit
retirement formula or the 1.62% @ 65 Hybrid Plan. In the event an eligible employee does not make an
election during the thirty (30) day period, it will be deemed that the employee elected the 2.5% @ 67
defined benefit retirement formula.
XXXIV. SHORT/LONG-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE
Eligible employees shall receive short- and long-term disability coverage or income protection of up to
two-thirds of salary during disability periods due to non-job related injury or illness. Benefits are payable
after a disability elimination period of 14 days is satisfied.
XXXV. ACTING STATUS
Shall be the temporary assignment of a regular or probationary employee to a higher level classification
to fill a vacant position or to provide a replacement for an employee who remains on a leave of absence.
Employees given an acting assignment for 14 calendar days or more shall receive acting status pay
equivalent to the minimum salary rate for that position such that the minimum adjustment would be at
least 5% above the employee's current salary with the approval of the Department Head and the Human
Resources Manager. Acting status shall be retroactive to the first day and subject to no additional benefits.
An Acting Appointment shall generally be less than 12 months of duration and generally only last
for the duration of the recruitment process. Extension beyond 12 months shall be subject to the approval
of the City Manager or designee.
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 21 of 31
19
XXXVI. RECLASSIFICATION OF POSITION
Whenever a position is reclassified which is currently occupied by an incumbent who is satisfactorily
performing the duties of the proposed position, the City shall place that incumbent in the reclassified
position, without the need to undertake a recruitment. Such reclassifications shall not result in demotion.
A reclassification may occur when the essential duties of a position change due to new technology, new
regulations or laws, reorganization within the City, or other compelling reasons that increase to a higher
level the duties performed by the position.
The City shall notify the Association whenever a reclassification is to occur to allow the Association to
request to meet and confer over the impact and salary of the position.
Reclassification of an employee in a reclassified position may occur, at the City's discretion, if s/he has
been satisfactorily performing the duties of the position for at least six months, as evaluated by the
Department Head.
Out-of-Class grievances that result in position reclassifications shall also result in the reclassification of
the employee, provided s/he has been satisfactorily performing the duties of the position for at least 6
months, as evaluated by the Department Head.
XXXVII. PROMOTIONS, TRANSFERS AND VOLUNTARY DEMOTIONS
a. Promotions
Promotion refers to the movement of an employee from a lower level position in one class to another
class imposing higher duties and responsibilities, requiring higher qualifications and providing a higher
maximum rate of pay.
Insofar as practical and consistent with the best interest of the City, as determined by the Personnel
Officer or designee, vacancies shall be filled by promotion from within whenever qualified employees
exist. Promotion-only classes will be established by the Personnel Officer or designee in consideration of
input from the Department Heads.
i. Requirements for Promotional Candidates
Only regular employees who meet the requirements set forth in the Personnel Rules and
Classification Plan and who received a satisfactory overall rating at the time of their last
performance evaluation may compete in promotional opportunities. Any employee who
wishes to apply for promotional opportunity must also have completed at least six (6)
months in their present position.
ii. Rejection Following Promotion
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 22 of 31
20
An employee rejected during or at the conclusion of the probationary period following
promotional appointment shall be reinstated to the position from which he/she was
promoted, or comparable position or class from which he/she was promoted and shall
receive credit for time served in the promotional position unless charges are filed and the
employee is discharged in the manner provided for in the Personnel Rules and
Regulations.
b. Transfers
A transfer occurs when an employee changes positions which are in the same classification having the
same maximum salary and requiring substantially the same qualifications. This may or may not involve a
change of an employee's place of employment from one department to another.
i. Conditions for Transfer
An employee, who does not possess the minimum qualifications for an open position,
shall not be transferred to that position. A qualified employee may be transferred,
provided the transfer has been approved by the employee's supervisor, the new
supervisor and the Personnel Officer or designee.
ii. Employee Requested Transfers
New employees who have completed their probationary period in their current positions
may apply for a transfer. All other employees, who have worked a minimum of six (6)
months in their current position, may apply for a transfer. A request may be submitted
only when a vacancy exists. The employee's request for transfer will be considered on the
basis of the employee's qualifications for the vacant position, the employee's best
interests, and the best interests of the City. Requests for transfers must be received
according to deadlines established by the Personnel Officer or designee.
iii. Employer Initiated Transfers
The City of San Juan Capistrano reserves the right to transfer its employees from
one position to another or one department to another, if the transfer is necessary for the
purpose of economy or efficiency.
iv. Job Transfer Opportunities
The City will consider lateral transfers and promotional opportunities to vacant positions
within the same or similar job class. The employee requesting the transfer must have had
a "satisfactory" rating on their last evaluation and meet the minimum qualifications for
the position.
Employees eligible for transfer or promotional opportunities based on the minimum
qualifications of the position shall be given the opportunity to interview. The City would
have no obligation to hire any of the applicants for transfer or promotion.
c. Voluntary Demotion
A regular employee may request a voluntary demotion to a vacant position in a class with a lower
maximum salary rate provided the employee possesses the minimum qualifications of that class. Such

Promotional examinations may include any of the selection techniques or any combination thereof
mentioned above. Only current employees who meet the requirements of the position and the provisions
of the Personnel Rules may compete in promotional examinations.
XXXIX. REGULAR APPOINTMENT FOLLOWING PROBATIONARY PERIOD
Original appointments to positions within the classified service shall be subject to a probationary period
of no less than six months and no more than twelve months. At the conclusion of the probationary
period, the employee will be notified of regular status, provided the appointing authority approves the
action.
Initial probationary appointments may be extended at the sole discretion of the Department Head for up
to six months. Under such circumstances, the Department Head will notify the affected employee in
writing of the extension of the initial probationary period.
Achievement of regular employee status shall be based upon successful completion of a probation period,
as determined by the Department Head and approved by the Personnel Officer or designee.
Promotional appointments shall be subject to a probationary period of six months.
XL. TERMINATION - RESIGNATION
An employee wishing to leave the City in good standing shall file with the immediate supervisor at least
two (2) weeks before leaving the City a written resignation stating the effective date and reason(s) for
leaving.
The resignation shall be forwarded by the Department Head to the Personnel Office and City Manager.
XLI. LAYOFFS AND RE-EMPLOYMENT
a. Conditions for Layoff
The City Manager, with the concurrence of the City Council, may abolish any position, because of
material change in duties and organization, or shortage of work or funds. The employee holding
such position or employment may be laid off without disciplinary action and without the right of
appeal. No regular employee shall be laid off until all temporary and probationary employees
holding positions in the same classification in the department are first laid off. Only those
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 24 of 31
22
employees in the department assigned to the classification in which the position is to be abolished
shall be involved in this layoff procedure.
b. Notice of Layoff
The Association and employees to be laid off shall be given at least fourteen (14) calendar days’
notice.
c. Order of Layoff
1. Within the classification, employees will be ranked by seniority with the most senior
employee given the highest ranking and the next most senior employee given the
next highest ranking and so forth. For the purpose of this section, seniority shall be
determined as total number of years of full-time employment with the City of San
Juan Capistrano. This category is given a weight of 30%.
2. Within the classification, employees will also be ranked by performance, based upon
performance evaluations, official records, and/or qualified testing procedures
where applicable. The employee within the classification with the highest
performance rating shall be given the highest ranking and the next most competent
employee shall be given the next highest ranking, and so forth. This category is given
a weight of 40%.
a. To establish the performance ranking, each employee performance
evaluation must be rated. A rating of 1 to 5 on the overall evaluation rating
is assigned accordingly:
Excellent = 5
Above Standard = 4
Meets Standards = 3
Needs Improvement = 2
Unsatisfactory = 1
3. Within the classification, employees will also be ranked by skill set, based upon
education, licenses, and certificates obtained, which increase an employee's
overall value to the organization. The employee with the greatest skill set within
the classification shall be given the highest ranking and the employee with the
next highest skill set level shall be given the next highest ranking, and so forth. This
category will be given a weight of 30%.
a. To establish the ranking for skill set, the following point system shall be applied:
i. Education
1. PhD. = 4 points
2. Master's Degree = 3 points
3. Bachelor's Degree = 2 points
4. Associate of Arts Degree = 1 point
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 25 of 31
23
A degree must be directly related to the position in order for it to be awarded a
point value.
ii. Licenses
Each professional license = 1 point
iii. Certificates
Each certificate = .5 point
Certificates issued upon completion of a test conducted by a
sanctioning body such as a governmental, professional, or academic
organization, are considered valid certificates. Training certificates that
indicate that an employee participated in a training course or seminar are
not awarded any point value; however, they would be incorporated into
the performance evaluation.
d. Layoff Procedure
The Department Head will total the point values of the three categories (seniority, performance,
and skill set) for each employee within the classification to determine the order of layoff.
Employees will be laid off in order of the numerical ranking, that is, an employee with a lower
ranking would be laid off before an employee with higher ranking.
e. Re-employment List
The names of persons laid off in accordance with these rules shall be entered on a re-employment
list for one year, except that persons appointed to regular positions shall, upon such appointment,
be dropped from the list.
When a vacancy occurs in the subject class, the appointing authority shall consider the
former employees from the re-employment list. It is the responsibility of the employee on a re-
employment list to keep the City informed of his/her current address and telephone number, and
availability for work.
f. Disability Separation
In the event an employee cannot perform the essential functions of his or her position due to
an injury or illness, the City may provide up to twelve (12) continuous months of leave or
modified duty. The City will continue to make the full contribution for health, dental, & vision
premiums during any or all of the 12 continuous months that the employee is on unpaid leave in
accordance with the above. If, after twelve (12) continuous months, the employee is unable to
return to his/her regular duties the following will apply.
To the extent permitted under Federal and State law, an employee unable to perform the
essential functions of his/her position, with or without reasonable accommodation, as a result of
a physical or psychological illness or injury shall:
ATTACHMENT 10 - Page 26 of 31
24
1. be separated from employment. Employees who are separated pursuant to this
section shall be accorded procedural due process (i.e., notice and an
opportunity to respond to the separation) in accordance with the appeal
procedures for disciplinary actions outlined in these rules,
Or
2. be offered the opportunity to resign from his/her position with the City of San Juan
Capistrano and placed on a re-employment list for a period not to exceed one (1)
year. Any employee returning to work shall provide the Personnel Officer verification
from a medical practitioner that he/she can perform the essential functions of his/her
position, with or without accommodation.
If during the period in which the employee is on the re-employment list, the employee is physically
and/or psychologically able to resume the duties of his/her previous position and there is a vacant
position in his/her classification, the employee will be entitled to return to that position.
Separation from employment under this section does not preclude the City or employee from
applying for a disability retirement.
XLII. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

A grievance shall be initiated through an informal first step when the employee notifies the supervisor
verbally of his/her contention that the City has violated or misapplied a specific obligation expressed

II. PAY PLAN STRUCTURE
The basic pay range of all classifications shall consist of a Basic Compensation Schedule
of hourly, bi-weekly and monthly rates. There shall be a five-percentage difference
between each step in a five-step range.
A. Pay Increases
On each anniversary date an employee shall be eligible for a one step (5%) adjustment
until the maximum pay rate of the assigned class is reached. The adjustment shall be
ATTACHMENT 11 - Page 4 of 30
2
implemented upon recommendation by the Department Head and approval by the
Personnel Officer. Pay adjustments delayed because of unsatisfactory performance,
but granted after the anniversary date, shall affect the anniversary date and date the
next pay increase will be considered.
B. Pay Adjustment Upon Promotion
Upon promotion, an employee is entitled to advance to the nearest step of the new
range that is at least 5% higher than the previously assigned rate.
C. Pay Adjustment Upon Demotion
When an employee is voluntarily demoted, a mutually agreed-upon pay step in the
new range shall be assigned. When an employee is demoted as a result of disciplinary
action, the appointing authority imposing the discipline shall set the step.
D. Pay Adjustment Upon Re-employment
Upon re-employment, an employee shall be assigned the same step in the salary
range that had been attained prior to layoff. Benefit accruals shall be equal to the
benefit level the employee attained prior to layoff, except as precluded by applicable
law.
E. Special Merit Pay
A pay adjustment of up to 5% may be granted in advance of an employee’s
anniversary date in recognition of exceptional performance. The adjustment shall be
made in rare cases and shall be recommended by the responsible Department Head
and approved by the Personnel Officer or designee, and must be accompanied by a
current employee evaluation and memorandum supporting the request. Special merit
increases shall have no effect upon the anniversary date at which a regular step
increase may be considered (i.e., a second step advancement can occur at one’s
anniversary date.)
III. MANAGEMENT FLEXTIME
Management personnel may flex their schedule as needed during the pay period to allow
for required attendance at extraordinary events or meetings or unscheduled or emergency
situations. This option allows the management employee to operate with professional
flexibility. Use of flextime will require prior approval by the Department Head. Although
management employees have the ability to flex their schedules, this does not include
telecommuting in-lieu of coming into the workplace.
IV. EMERGENCY/DISASTER RESPONSE
Employees exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act are expected to work the hours
necessary to complete the requirements of the position. In certain major emergency
and/or disaster circumstances as declared and approved by the City Manager or
ATTACHMENT 11 - Page 5 of 30
3
designee, exempt employees may be eligible to receive additional compensation (as
determined by the City Manager) for emergency/disaster response, including, but not
limited to, major fires, floods, earthquakes, terrorism events, or other natural or manmade
disasters. The City Manager’s decision cannot be appealed or grieved. The City shall
make reasonable efforts to provide meals, food, and shelter for all employees and
volunteers responding to such incident(s), or the City may reimburse an employee or
volunteer for reasonable expenses, as determined by the City Manager or designee.
V. BILINGUAL PAY
Qualified management employees who meet the following criteria shall receive a monthly
stipend in recognition of their ability:
1. Employee must be assigned by the City Manager or designee to speak and/or
translate written material in a language in addition to English. This includes such
specialized communication skills as sign language.
2. Employees must, as needed, speak and/or translate a second language.
3. Employees able to communicate and/or translate verbal information shall receive
$85 per month.
4. Employees able to translate verbal and written information shall receive $125 per
month (i.e., the employee receives $125 per month because of the additional ability
to translate written information, rather than the $85 noted above that is provided to
an employee who provides verbal translation only). Employees assigned to
translate written information will be required to be deemed qualified by the City.
The City, at its discretion, may reassign an employee from a bilingual assignment to a
position that does not require bilingual certification. An employee in a bilingual
assignment may request assignment to a position that does not require bilingual
certification. The request shall be made in writing to the City Manager or designee, who
will consider it according to City needs and availability of a qualified replacement.
VI. WORK BOOT REIMBURSEMENT
The City will provide a work boot reimbursement up to $160 per pair of work boots for all
field positions in the unit of representation. Reimbursement shall be provided for up to
two pairs of work boots per year.
VII. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM
City Employees may elect to have a portion of their salary withheld. The deferred amount
is tax free until actually received and is invested in the meantime. As prescribed by
applicable laws or plan provisions, funds may be withdrawn upon resignation, retirement
or to a beneficiary upon death.
ATTACHMENT 11 - Page 6 of 30
4
VIII. MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT
Management employees shall receive mileage reimbursement in accordance with IRS
standards for all miles driven per month that exceed the $80.00 auto allowance below.
Mileage from home to work and from work to home shall be deducted from any mileage
calculation. Reimbursement is calculated by taking the total actual miles driven, multiplied
by the current IRS reimbursement rate, minus the $80.00 auto allowance.
IX. AUTO ALLOWANCE
Management employees shall receive a monthly automobile allowance of $80.00.
X. RIDE SHARE PROGRAM
Employees who carpool, walk, bike, take the bus or the train to and from work at least
twice per week shall, at the end of the fiscal year, be eligible for nine (9) hours of additional
floating holiday time in the next fiscal year. Employees may qualify for this incentive by
participating 104 times in the fiscal year (i.e., an average of 2 times per week x 52 weeks
= 104 occasions). The Human Resources Department will provide the necessary forms
associated with this program.
XI. TUITION REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM
The Management and Professional Employees are hereby made eligible for the City’s
Tuition Reimbursement program. The annual benefit shall be up to a maximum of
$5,000/fiscal year for an employee, for a degree from an accredited college or university
or certification program. The date of the final class day will determine which fiscal year
the reimbursement falls under.
The City will provided up to $20,000 annually for all City employees to participate and
carryover any remainder to the next fiscal year up to a total pool amount of $35,000. If
annual requests exceed amount available, amounts would be pro-rated based on
requests.
Program details are identified in Administrative Policy No. 214, Employee Tuition
Reimbursement Program and the Personnel Rules.
XII. VACATION
A. Vacation Accrual
Management employees shall accrue vacation hours based on the following schedule:
Length of Service Annual Hours Accrued
0-3 years 108
4-7 years 145
8-10 years 160
11-19 years 175
20 or more years 180
ATTACHMENT 11 - Page 7 of 30
5
New accrual rates effective July 1, 2018.
Accrual at the next highest incremental rate shall commence on the first day of the
fourth, eighth, eleventh and twentieth year of employment, respectively. For example,
an employee who started employment on 1/1/2010 would accrue 108 hours of
vacation leave until 1/1/2013, at which time the accrual rate would increase to 145
hours annually.
The maximum amount of vacation time, which may be accrued by management
employees and used, for time-off shall be 300 hours. The maximum amount of
vacation time, which will be compensated for in cash upon separation from City, shall
be 300 hours. It shall be the responsibility of the employee and the Department Head
to assure that employees utilize credited vacation leave within the limitations set forth
herein.
Bargaining unit employees who have reached the maximum accrual of 300 hours shall
have the right to “cash-out” up to fifty (50) hours of vacation per year if they have used
at least two (2) weeks of vacation within the previous twelve (12) months, and obtain
approval from their Department Head. Requests to “cash-out” vacation based on the
criteria stated above may be submitted when a bargaining unit employee reaches 280
hours. The hours will be paid out to the employee during the pay period when the
employee reaches 300 hour limit to avoid the loss of any accrual due to the limit being
reached.
B. Vacation Usage
The time during the calendar year at which an employee may take vacation leave shall
be determined by the Department Head but with due consideration of the employee’s
request and particular regard for the needs of the City. Eligible employees shall accrue
vacation beginning with the date of hire.
C. Vacation Benefits - Separation of Employment
Upon separation of employment, see Appendix A, Payout at Separation of
Employment.
D. Holidays Occurring During Vacation
When one or more legal municipal holidays fall within a vacation leave, such day or
days shall not be charged as the vacation leave.
XIII. SICK LEAVE
Sick leave shall mean the time during which an employee is permitted to be absent from
the duties of City service by reason of sickness or injury which incapacitates or prevents
the employee from performing assigned duties, without any deduction being made from
ATTACHMENT 11 - Page 8 of 30
6
salary or compensation, and shall include, in certain cases, serious illness or death of a
member of the employee’s immediate family.
It will be the responsibility of the Department Head to periodically review the use of sick
leave in the department. Abuse of sick leave may be used as a factor in determining
employee performance for employee evaluations. The legitimate use of sick leave, which
qualifies under the FMLA, shall not be used as a factor in determining employee
performance for evaluations.
A. Sick Leave Allowance
Employees shall be entitled to eight (8) hours sick leave for each calendar month of
service. There shall be no limit on the amount of sick leave which may be
accumulated.
B. When Sick Leave May Be Taken
Sick leave may not be used until it is earned and shall be taken only in case of actual
and necessary sickness or disability of the employee. Eligible employees may utilize
a maximum of ninety-six (96) hours of accumulated sick leave with pay in the event of
1) the employee’s presence is required elsewhere because of family medical and
dental appointments, serious illness, injury, or disability or death of member of the
employee’s immediate family; and 2) official order to appear in court as a litigant or as
a witness; and 3) personal necessity as defined and limited below.
Sick leave shall not be used in-lieu of or in addition to vacation for the intent of
extending vacation. When an employee is compelled to be absent from employment
by reason of injury arising from and in the course of City employment as determined
by the Workers’ Compensation law, the employee shall apply accrued sick leave, if
any, in such amount that when added to Workers’ Compensation benefits equals the
employee’s gross salary. Earned vacation time off shall be utilized in a similar manner.
If an employee exhausts his/her sick leave during the course of a personal illness,
vacation leave may be used to cover the absence. Sick leave accrued during a pay-
period may be used by the employee during that pay-period.
Personal necessity leave can be used by an employee at a rate of twenty-four (24)
hours per year for absences other than illness or disability, and the absences shall be
deducted from accumulated sick leave. Sick leave or personal necessity leave is not
intended for taking care of personal business, which could be taken care of at another
time.
Personal necessity is considered to be:
i. A personal matter that requires your attention which cannot be taken care
of except during the normal working hours; or,
ATTACHMENT 11 - Page 9 of 30
7
ii. A matter that requires your attention, such as a hot water heater flooding
your home, fire or robbery.

XXVIII. MEDICAL, VISION, DENTAL INSURANCE AND COBRA
The City provides medical, vision and dental insurance for City employees. The insurance
becomes effective the first day of the month following the date of hire.
A. Medical Insurance – CalPERS
The City provides active employees in the bargaining unit up to the highest CalPERS
HMO premium in each coverage category (E, E+1 or E+Family). If the plan the
employee elects cost less than the highest HMO for his/her category, the employee’s
premiums are fully paid by the City and the employee does not receive the difference
between the highest HMO amount and the cost of the plan he/she selects. If the plan
the employee selects costs more than the highest HMO for his/her category, the
difference is paid by the employee through pre-tax payroll deduction.
The City’s “total” contribution is calculated by adding the cost of the City’s dental
insurance and vision insurance premiums to the highest HMO medical premium, in
each coverage category. Together this is the “Highest HMO Amount”.
The Highest HMO Amount will be compared to the Highest HMO Amount for the
previous year by coverage type (E, E+1 or E+Family). Due to rate changes, the new
Highest HMO premium may be a different medical plan from a different health
insurance carrier.
Effective January 1, 2020, the City’s total contribution will decrease to 60% of the
increase. If the new Highest HMO Amount is the same or less than the previous year’s
total, the City’s total contribution will remain the same.
B. Opting out of Medical Insurance
The City shall allow employees who show proof of group medical insurance coverage
provided by a spouse, to opt out of the City’s medical insurance coverage. The City
shall provide to employees who wish to opt out of medical insurance coverage and
meet the above criteria, an “opting out” amount of $325 per month. Employees must
remain enrolled in the City’s dental and vision plans. These premiums will be paid for
by the City.
C. Vision Insurance – Vision Service Plan
D. Dental Insurance – Aetna
Effective January 1, 2015, the maximum allowable benefits under the dental insurance
policy will increase from $1,000 to $2,000.
E. COBRA
ATTACHMENT 11 - Page 16 of 30
14
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) requires that
the group health plans provide employees and their dependents the opportunity to
continue health care coverage under the plan in certain circumstances where
coverage under the group health plan would otherwise terminate. While the City must
make continued health coverage available, it can charge qualified beneficiaries up to
102% of the cost of coverage if continuation of benefits under the group plan is
desired. This coverage is currently administered by a third party.
F. Health Benefits While on Disability Leave of Absence
Whenever an employee is absent from work due to a physical or psychological injury
or illness, the City shall maintain the employee’s coverage under the City’s group
health plan on the same conditions as coverage would have been provided if the
employee has been employed during the leave period, for a period not to exceed
twelve (12) continuous months.
XXIX. IRS CODE SECTION 125 PLAN
The City shall set up an Employees’ Benefit Package, under IRS Code Section 125, to
pay for medical, dental and vision premiums. The City shall provide to active employees
in the bargaining unit a basic employee contribution amount equal to the PEMCHA
minimum contribution amount and a cafeteria amount, which added together equals the
contribution amount as specific in Section XXVIII. Employees shall have the ability to
elect which medical carrier to enroll with. Dental and vision insurance coverage shall also
be part of the active employees’ benefit package.
The City will provide employees the opportunity to participate on a voluntary basis in a
Dependent Care Assistance Program (Section 129) under Internal Revenue Code Section
125, which allows employees to redirect part of their salary, before it is taxed, to be used
for child, elderly and dependent care and eligible medical expenses.
XXX. RETIREE HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT
Employees shall make mandatory contributions to the retiree health savings plan
establish through ICMA-RC. Contributions are based on the schedule below.
Years of
Service

employee.
XXXIII. PRE-PAID LEGAL SERVICES

Services). Employees hired on or after July 1, 2009, are not eligible to participate in this
program.
XXXVI. RETIREMENT PLAN
All full-time employees automatically become a member of the Orange County Employees
Retirement System (OCERS). The City shall pay 100% of the management employee’s
share of the retirement contribution.
Effective September 25, 2003, the employees of the bargaining unit received an
enhanced benefit formula of 2.7% @ age 55 based on the three (3) highest years of
service. This enhanced benefit formula will be applicable to all years of services. The
employees of the bargaining unit will contribute 5.01% of base salary as a payroll
deduction towards the cost of the enhanced retirement benefit.
Effective July 1, 2012, each employee shall pay 50% of the employee contribution that
was being paid on behalf of the employee by the City prior to July 1, 2012. Effective July
1, 2013, each employee shall pay the full employee contribution to retirement and the City
will no longer pay any portion of the employee’s contribution to retirement. The intent of
these changes is to have employee’s paying the employee contribution to retirement and
the City paying the employer contribution to retirement. The changes are being phased
in two (2) years with the first change taking effect on July 1, 2012, and the second change
taking effect on July 1, 2013.
Effective January 1, 2012, any new employees hired on or after January 1, 2012, shall
pay the full employee contribution to retirement with no payment of the employee’s
contribution by the City.
ATTACHMENT 11 - Page 18 of 30
16
Effective on or about July 1, 2012, the City shall implement a second tier of retirement
formula (2% @ 57). This second tier retirement formula shall apply to all employees hired
on or after the date the second tier formula becomes effective.

implement a third retirement formula which shall apply to new employees who become
new members, as defined by the Pension Reform Act, of the Orange County Employees
Retirement System, on or after January 1, 2013.

two (2) retirement plan options:
1. The Orange County Employees Retirement System’s 2.5% @ 67 defined benefit
retirement formula.
or
2. Hybrid Plan: The Orange County Employees Retirement System’s 1.62% @ 65
defined benefit formula combined with a 401(a) defined contribution retirement
plan. Employees who choose the Hybrid Plan may make voluntary and irrevocable
e contributions, including leave payouts, to the 401(a) defined contribution
retirement plan. The City will match an employee’s contribution to the 401(a)
defriend contribution plan up to one (1%) of the employee’s base salary.
Eligible employees have thirty (30) days from the date of hire to elect the 2.5% @ 67
defined benefit retirement formula or the 1.62% @ 65 Hybrid Plan. In the event an eligible
employee does not make an election during the thirty (30) day period, it will be deemed
that the employee elected the 2.5% @ 67 defined benefit retirement formula.
XXXVII. 401(a) PROGRAM
The City will establish and administer a 401(a) program through ICMA subject to the
provisions allowable under current regulations for this type of program. The City shall
make the necessary changes to the 401(a) plan document and any and all applicable City
policies to reflect the payout provisions noted in Appendix A, Payout at Separation of
Employment.
XXXVIII. SHORT/LONG-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE

rate for that position such that the minimum adjustment would be least 5% above the
ATTACHMENT 11 - Page 19 of 30
17

Resources Manager. Acting status shall be retroactive to the first day and subject to no
additional benefits.
An Acting Appointment shall generally be less than twelve (12) months duration and

(12) months shall be subject to the approval of the City Manager or designee. If the
position or the employee is one that falls under representation by MPEA, the City shall
inform MPEA of the extension and the reasons for extension.
XL. RECLASSIFICATION OF POSITION
Whenever a position is reclassified which is currently occupied by an incumbent who is
satisfactorily performing the duties of the proposed position, the City shall place that
incumbent in the reclassified position, without the need to undertake a recruitment. Such
reclassifications shall not result in demotion.
A reclassification may occur when the essential duties of a position change due to new
technology, new regulations or laws, reorganization within the City, or other compelling
reasons that increase to a higher level the duties performed by the position.
The City shall notify the Association whenever a reclassification is to occur to allow the
Association to request to meet and confer over the impact and salary of the position.
Reclassification of an employee in a reclassified position may occur, at the City’s
discretion, if s/he has been satisfactorily performing the duties of the position for at least
six (6) months, as evaluated by the Department Head.

class to another class imposing higher duties and responsibilities, requiring higher
qualifications and providing a higher maximum rate of pay.
Insofar as practical and consistent with the best interest of the City, as determined by

qualifications. This may or may not involve a change of an employee’s place of
employment from one department to another.

City. Requests for transfers must be received according to deadlines established
by the Personnel Officers or designee.

3. Bachelor’s Degree = 2 points
4. Associate of Arts Degree = 1 points
A degree must be directly related to the position in order for it to be awarded a
point value.

would be incorporated into the performance evaluation.
D. Layoff Procedure
The Department Head will total the point values of the three (3) categories (seniority,
performance, and skill set) for each employee within the classification to determine
the order of layoff. Employees will be laid off in order of the numerical ranking, that is,
an employee with a lower ranking would be laid off before an employee with higher
ranking.

ATTACHMENT 11 - Page 23 of 30
21
The names of persons laid off in accordance with these rules shall be entered on a re-
employment list for one (1) year, except that persons appointed to regular positions
shall, upon such appointment be dropped form the list.
When a vacancy occurs in the subject class, the appointment authority shall consider
the former employees from the re-employment list. It is the responsibility of the
employee on a re-employment list to keep the City informed of his/her current address
and telephone number, and availability of work.
F. Disability Separation
In the event an employee is unable to perform the essential functions of his or her
position due to an injury or illness, the City may provide up to twelve (12) continues
months of leave or modified duty. The City will continue to make the full contribution
for health, dental, and vision premiums during any or all of the twelve (12) months that
the employee is on unpaid leave. If, after twelve (12) continuous months, the
employee is unable to return to his/her regular duties the following will apply.
To the extent permitted under Federal and State law, an employee unable to perform
the essential functions of his/her position, with or without reasonable accommodation,
as a result of physical or psychological illness or injury shall:
1. Be separated from employment. Employees who are separated pursuant to this
section shall be accorded procedural due process (i.e., notice and an opportunity
to respond to the separation) in accordance with the appeal procedures for
disciplinary actions outlined in the Personnel Rules and Regulations.
or
2. Be offered the opportunity to resign from his/her position with the City of San Juan
Capistrano and place on a re-employment list for a period not to exceed one (1)
year. Any employee returning to work shall provide the Personnel Officer or
designee verification from a medical practitioner that he/she can perform the
essential functions of his/her position, with or without accommodation.
If during the period in which the employee is on the re-employment list, the employee
is physically and/or psychologically able to resume the duties of his/her previous
position and there is a vacant position in his/her classification, the employee will be
entitled to return to that position.

RULE 1 ADMINISTRATION OF PERSONNEL RULES AND REGULATIONS
This manual contains statements of personnel rules and regulations. It is
designed to provide the guidelines and procedures regarding personnel
issues in the administration of the City of San Juan Capistrano personnel
system.
These written rules and regulations should increase understanding,
eliminate the need for personal decisions on matters of City-wide policy
and help assure uniformity throughout the organization.
The rules and regulations encompassed in this manual are established for
all employees as defined in Article 4, Title 2, Chapter 5 of the San Juan
Capistrano Municipal Code.
By departmental executive order, Department Heads shall have the
authority to develop and adopt additional rules affecting their departments
as necessary. Such departmental rules shall be supplementary to these
rules, shall be consistent herewith and shall in every case be approved in
writing by the City Manager prior to implementation.
In the event of a conflict between what is stated in these Rules and an
employee association Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) provision, the
MOU provision shall govern. If an MOU is silent on any particular point
and/or subject, then the Rules shall govern. This allows for a clear
understanding regarding which document governs for a specific benefit or
provision. The City acknowledges that there may be practices that exist in
the absence of any express language to the contrary, and the City will
address such practices as required by law.
Section 1.01 Personnel Officer
The City Manager shall act as Personnel Officer and shall administer the
provisions of these rules. The City Manager may delegate the day-to-day
administrative responsibilities of the Personnel Officer to any other officer
or employee he/she shall so designate.
The Personnel Officer as provided in the Municipal Code shall interpret
and apply these rules and may prepare amendments as required.
The Personnel Officer is authorized to establish administrative policies for
the purpose of delineating day-to-day operating procedures with respect to
general City administration.
Section 1.02 Personnel Records
The Personnel Office maintains the City’s official personnel file for each
employee. This includes salary history, promotion, evaluations, leaves of
absence, address and other information concerning an employee's status.
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 7 of 70
3
The City relies on the employee for information on changes in address,
marital status or number of dependents. Any changes must be reported by
the employee within 30 days of the effective date of the change to the
Personnel Office so that records remain current.
Every appointment, transfer, promotion, demotion, change in salary rate
and/or any other temporary or permanent change in status of employee
shall be noted on a Personnel Action Form and placed in the employee’s
official personnel file in the Human Resources office.
Any employee has the right to inspect his/her official City personnel file.
If the file contains information that the employee does not agree with,
the employee may prepare a separate written response and request that
the Personnel Officer place the response in the file.
The personnel record of any person employed by the City will be kept in
accordance with the City’s records retention policy.
Section 1.03 Protection of Right to Privacy
A. Access by City Employees. Department Heads shall have access to
specific information in an individual's official personnel record, which is
necessary to the performance of their assigned City duties. In the
event that an employee applies for a position outside the present

Plan as approved by the City Council.
Section 5.01 Nature and Contents of Plan
The Classification Plan shall consist of classes of positions defined by class
specifications, including title, class summary, examples of duties assigned
to positions in each class, and qualifications required of applicants for
positions in each class.
Following the adoption of the Classification Plan, the Personnel Officer
shall administer and monitor the plan to assure an adequate reflection of
the City work force. The review may involve only selected classes or the
entire Classification Plan. Subject to approval by the City Council, the
Personnel Officer shall recommend the allocation of every position to a
class included in the plan.
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 13 of 70

Section 5.02 Amendment of Classification Plan
Whenever one or more new positions are under consideration for possible
establishment, or whenever because of any revision in organization
methods, a significant change of the duties or responsibilities of any
existing position is made which may require the reallocation of such
position, or whenever a new class is created to which any position may
more appropriately be allocated, or whenever because of the abolishment
or combination of any existing positions, or classes, an amendment of the
classification plan is required, one or a combination of the procedures
stipulated in the following shall be observed:
a. The appointing authority shall forthwith report any significant facts
relating to such possible changes in writing to the Personnel Officer in
the manner prescribed.
b. The Personnel Officer upon written request of any employee, or upon
the Personnel Officer's initiative, after consultation with the head of the

of any person.

the assigned duties and responsibilities of any such position and the
qualifications required for filling the same, and the relationships of
such positions to other classes of positions in the classification plan.
The Personnel Officer shall make an honest attempt to complete this
study in a timely manner, typically within six months.
d. On the basis of such investigation the Personnel Officer shall then
make determinations for no change in allocation of the position, or
allocation of the position to a more appropriate class in the existing
classification or the establishment of the new class to which the
position would be allocated, whichever is the appropriate action.
e. The Personnel Officer shall recommend to the Council any change in
the existing classes and class specifications deemed appropriate.

For permanent, full-time employees, the lowest rate of pay designated for a
class shall normally be offered for recruitment purposes and shall normally be
paid upon appointment to the class. Upon recommendation of the Department
Head, as a result of market conditions such as a shortage of qualified
candidates or should a candidate possess exceptional qualifications or
experience, a new employee may be assigned to a rate other than the minimum
rate. The assignment shall be approved by the Personnel Officer who will
determine whether such action is in the best interest of the City. Appointment at
other than the minimum shall in no manner affect the length of the probationary
period.
Section 6.04 Pay for Temporary and Part-Time Work
Employees designated as "regular, part-time" shall be eligible for pay increases
in a manner similar to regular full-time employees based on equivalent numbers
of hours worked and given satisfactory performance. Temporary employees
shall be eligible for pay step increases as determined by the appointing authority.
Section 6.05 Pay for Probationary Employees
A probationary employee shall be eligible to be considered for a one step (5%)
adjustment, contingent upon completion of the probationary period which
indicates achievement of "regular employee" status. The adjustment may be
made any time after one year of service for management employees only when
recommended by the Department Head (through the performance appraisal
process) and approved by the Personnel Officer.
Section 6.06 Pay Increases
On each anniversary date an employee shall be eligible for a one step (5%)
adjustment until the maximum pay rate of the assigned class is reached. The
adjustment shall be implemented upon recommendation by the Department
Head and approval by the Personnel Officer. Pay adjustments delayed because
of unsatisfactory performance, but granted after the anniversary date, shall
affect the anniversary date and date the next pay increase will be considered.
a. Determining the Anniversary Date
The date of the first step increase in a classification, unless or until
another probationary period is served in another class, shall be used to
determine the employee's anniversary date. The aforementioned date shall
be moved up to either the 1st of the month or 15th of the month depending
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 15 of 70
11
upon where it occurs within the month. For example, if the date occurs

of that month, and if the date occurs between the 15th and 31st, the
anniversary date shall become the 15th of that month.
Section 6.07 Pay Adjustment Upon Promotion
Upon promotion, an employee’s initial placement in the new range is to the
nearest step of the new range that is at least 5% higher than the previously
assigned rate.
Section 6.08 Pay Adjustment Upon Demotion

in the new range shall be assigned. When an employee is demoted as a result

the discipline.
Section 6.09 Pay Adjustment Upon Re-employment
Upon re-employment, an employee shall be assigned the same step in the salary

precluded by applicable law.
Section 6.10 Special Merit Pay

anniversary date in recognition of exceptional performance. The adjustment
shall be made in rare cases and shall be recommended by the responsible
Department Head and approved by the Personnel Officer, and must be
accompanied by a current employee evaluation and memorandum supporting
the request. Merit increases shall have no effect upon the anniversary date at
which a regular step increase may be considered. This means that an employee
whose salary anniversary date is in May and who receives a special merit pay
increase in February is eligible for a regular merit step increase in May of that
same year.

immediate family.
It will be the responsibility of the Department Head to periodically review the

2. Continuing treatment by a health care provider. A serious health
condition involving continuing treatment by a health care provider
includes any one or more of the following:
a) A period of incapacity (i.e. inability to work, or perform
other regular daily activities) due to serious health condition of
more than three consecutive full calendar days, and any
subsequent treatment or period of incapacity relating to
the same condition, that also involves:
Treatment two or more times within 30 days from the
health care provider, by a nurse or physician's assistant
under direct supervision by a health care provider, or
by a provider of health care services under orders of,
or on referral by a health care provider. The first
medical visit must take place within seven (7) days
of the first day of incapacity; or
Treatment by a health care provider on at least one
occasion within seven (7) days of the first incapacity
which results in a regimen of continuing treatment
under the supervision of the health care provider. This
includes a course of prescription medication or therapy
requiring special equipment to resolve or alleviate the
health condition. If the medication is over the counter,
and can be initiated without a visit to a health care
provider, it does not constitute a regimen of continuing
treatment.
b) Any period of incapacity due to pregnancy or for prenatal

to a chronic serious health condition. A chronic serious health
condition is one which:

(including any period of recovery therefrom) by a health
care provider or by a provider of health care services

United States, who is license to practice in accordance with the laws and
regulations of that country.
7.18.3 Procedure.
Requests for family leave of absence shall be made in writing by filling out the
appropriate form and submitting it to Human Resources. The request shall
state specifically the reason for the request, the date when it is desired to
begin the leave and the probable date of return. Requests for leave under FMLA
and CFRA do not require a statement identifying the condition necessitating the
leave. The Human Resources Office will notify the employee that the leave has
been designated as applicable leave.
The City may designate as qualifying leave a workers' compensation injury
which also constitutes a serious health condition. Thus, the employee receives
both the workers' compensation benefits and the leave benefits under this
section.
7.18.4 Leave Increments.
The leave must be taken in increments of at least one hour for recurring medical
treatments certified by a health care provider. However, where leave is taken
because of the birth or the placement of a child for adoption or foster care,
intermittent leave or leave on a reduced schedule may only be taken if approved
by the City.
7.18.5 Continuation Of Benefits During Leave Of Absence Without Pay.
The City shall request certification from the attending health care provider to
verify the serious health condition of a family member. Such certification should
include the following statements:
Date on which the serious health condition commenced;
Probable duration of the condition;
In the case of caring for a family member, an estimate of the amount of
time the employee needs to care for the individual;
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 32 of 70
28
That the serious health condition warrants participation of a family
member to provide care during the period of treatment.
7.18.6 Employee Notice of Leave. Although the City of San Juan Capistrano
recognizes that emergencies arise which may require employees to request
immediate leave, employees are required to give as much notice as possible of
their need for leave, as required by law. If an employee's need for a family
care leave is foreseeable, due to a planned medical treatment or planned
supervision of a child, parent or spouse with a serious health condition, an
employer may require the employee to provide reasonable advance notice of the
need for the leave and to consult with the City regarding the scheduling of the
treatment or supervision so as to minimize disruptions to the operation of the
City. Any such scheduling, however, shall be subject to the approval of the
health care provider of the child, parent or spouse.
7.18.7 Right to Reinstatement. Upon expiration of an authorized leave, an employee
is entitled to be reinstated to the position of employment held when the leave
commenced, or to an equivalent position with equivalent employment
benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment. Employees have
no greater rights to reinstatement, benefits and other conditions of employment
than if the employee had been continuously employed during the FMLA/CFRA
period. Reinstatement provisions are not applicable if the position is eliminated
as a result of a reduction in force or elimination of service while the employee is
out on leave.
Whenever possible, a reinstatement date will be discussed at the beginning of
the leave. If no date has been agreed upon at the beginning of the leave, or if
the reinstatement date differs from the original agreement, an employee may be
reinstated as soon as possible after the employee notifies the City of his/her
readiness to return.
7.18.7.1 Reinstatement of Key Employees. The City cannot deny family
care leave, but reinstatement can be denied to a key employee
who is among the highest paid ten percent (10%) of the City's
employees. A denial for reinstatement may be given if it is
necessary to prevent substantial and grievous economic injury to
the operations of the City. The City will notify the
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 33 of 70
29
employee of the intent to refuse reinstatement at the
time the City determines that refusal is necessary to
prevent substantial and grievous economic harm to the
City.
7.18.8 Fitness For Duty Certification. An employee whose leave
was due to the employee's own serious health condition shall
provide the City with a Return to Work release from the health
care provider certifying that the employee is able to resume
work. Reinstatement may be delayed until the City receives
the certification.

duration and work requirements. Any leave of absence without pay
lasting more than fourteen (14) calendar days shall preclude
employee from accruing leave time and other benefits after the 14th
day.
During such a leave of absence, the employee shall continue to be
responsible for payment of all health-related employee share of

determined by the City Manager) for emergency/disaster response,
including, but not limited to, major fires, floods, earthquakes, terrorism
events, or other natural or manmade disasters. The City Manager’s
decision cannot be appealed or grieved. The City shall make

39
exception to this is when an employee is acting in a management or
executive position, where the acting assignment does not provide overtime

below of a person to a position intended to be occupied on an intermittent
basis to cover increased workloads of limited duration, necessary vacation
relief and other situations involving fluctuating staff.

individual who meets the training and experience requirements for
the position. A provisional appointment shall be less than 12
months duration, and generally shall only last for the duration of
the recruitment process. Extension beyond one year shall be
subject to the approval of the City Manager. The City Manager
shall specify the term of the extension. If the position is one that
falls under representation by one of the City’s recognized
employee associations, the appropriate association shall be
informed of the extension and the reason for such extension. Such
an appointment may be made during the period of suspension of
an employee, or pending final action on proceedings to review
suspension, demotion, or discharge of an employee. Provisional
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 44 of 70
40
appointments may also be made under other circumstances
deemed for the good of the service by the Personnel Officer or

and Regulations does not specify that it applies to a part-time employee,
then the benefit is not available to a part-time employee, unless specifically
authorized by the Personnel Officer or designee.)

RULE 14 Harassment and Discrimination Prevention.
It is the policy of the City of San Juan Capistrano to assure equal
employment opportunity and fair employment practices to all persons.
The law holds the City responsible to ensure a workplace free of
discrimination and harassment. The City shall be proactive in its
prevention efforts. Harassment and/or discrimination of an employee by
a supervisor, management employee or co-worker on the basis of race,
color, religion, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability,
equal pay/compensation, medical condition, marital status, sex, sexual
orientation, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding or related medical
conditions, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information,
AIDS/HIV, military or veteran status, political affiliations or activities,
status as a victim of domestic violence, assault, or stalking, association
with a member of a protected class, engagement in protected activity, or
age will not be tolerated. Harassment by supervisory personnel is
particularly serious and will not be tolerated.
The City is committed to a policy of preventing discrimination and
harassment in all employment practices including work assignments,
recruitment, selection, promotions, transfers, training, compensation,
benefits and discipline. The City resolves to develop and monitor
programs and processes that ensure constant and consistent adherence
to this policy. All City employees are expected to adhere to this policy
and to fully cooperate in the implementation of the goals and objectives
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 59 of 70
55
established. In addition, the City requires that all its contractors,
subcontractors and vendors not harass or discriminate in the employment
and treatment of persons.
Violation of Policy
Violation of these policies will generally constitute grounds for discipline,
up to and including discharge. It is important that all employees
understand the City's position relative to this subject. All executives,
managers, and supervisors are responsible for compliance with these
policies. It shall be a violation of City policy for an employee to retaliate
in any way against an employee for submitting a complaint of
discrimination and/or harassment and/or retaliation or
cooperating in an investigation involving same.
Harassment
Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
Verbal Harassment - For example, epithets, derogatory comments or
slurs on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry,
physical or mental disability, marital status, sex, sexual orientation or age.
Physical Harassment - For example, assault, impeding or blocking
movement, or any physical interference with normal work or movement
when directed at an individual on the basis of race, religious creed,
color, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, marital
status, sex, sexual orientation or age.
Sexual Harassment - For example, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual
favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature which is conditioned
upon an employment benefit, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work
performance or creates an offensive or hostile work environment. Harassment in
which a supervisor or other authority demands sexual favors in exchange for job
benefits is termed "quid pro quo" harassment.
Sexual harassment can be identified as something deliberate, as explicit, coercive
sexual behavior which infers an attempt to control, influence or affect the career,
salary, job or working conditions of another employee.
Sexual harassment can also be identified as conduct of a sexual nature that
is neither explicit nor even specifically directed at the victim, but rather creates a
hostile or offensive work environment.
Some subtle forms of sexual harassment are, referring to women as "girls," men as
"boys," or using demeaning, inappropriate, and unwelcome terms of endearment
while at work; comment(s) directed at the way a person looks, rather than
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 60 of 70
56
commenting on the quality of his/her work; interrupting a person who is talking about
work with comments about his/her appearance or physical attributes; eye contact,
staring or gazing at a person in a way that implies a sexual message or relationship;
flirting; teasing, touching, joking propositions, or comments filled with sexual
innuendo or double meanings; telling (a) joke(s) with a sexual meaning, tone, or
implicating; displaying (a) cartoon(s), calendar(s), picture(s), desk object(s), or pin-
up(s) which convey a sexual message, tone, or implication or make a joke of
another person's appearance.
Discrimination/Harassment Complaint Procedure
Confidentiality
Efforts will be made to protect the privacy of the parties involved in a discrimination
or harassment complaint. Files pertaining to complaints handled under this process
will be handled with a high a degree of confidentiality. They will be available on a
"need to know" basis as determined by the Human Resources Manager or a
designee thereof. Identities should not be disclosed except to the extent necessary
to continue the investigation. Statements made by employees should not be
disclosed to other employees except as necessary to elicit specific, relevant and
necessary information from the employee.
Informal Complaint Process
An employee who feels he or she was subject to discrimination or harassment may
discuss the matter with the immediate supervisor immediately. If the employee
chooses, he/she may elect to be represented or may choose to represent
him/herself. The right to representation shall not limit supervisory authority to take
appropriate, immediate corrective action when circumstances warrant. If at any time
the employee does not believe the problem has been satisfactorily resolved or is not
comfortable with proceeding through the chain-of-command, the employee may
present the complaint to the Human Resources Manager. It is the responsibility of
the person receiving the complaint to:
A. Counsel the employee and outline the options available under the City's
discrimination/harassment prevention policies and complaint procedures; and
B. Assist the employee in immediately bringing the matter to the attention of
the appropriate departmental official(s) to resolve the complaint at the
earliest possible date; and
C. Advise the employee that efforts will be taken to maintain confidentiality,
however, depending on the information concerning the complaint, it may be
necessary to take immediate and corrective action after having been made
aware of the situation.
If the employee does not agree with the proposed resolution of the complaint, he/she
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 61 of 70
57
may then file a formal complaint.
Nothing shall prohibit an employee from bypassing the informal complaint process
and filing a formal complaint.
Nothing shall prohibit an employee from filing a complaint with the federal Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission or the State Department of Fair Employment
and Housing before or after filing a complaint with the City.

An employee who feels he/she has been harassed or discriminated against in terms
of the City's Policy has the options of filing a formal complaint with 1) either the
Department Head of the complainant or of the accused or 2) the Human Resources
Manager. (Said official is herein referred to as the Complaint Investigator.) If the
Human Resources Manager is not designated as the Complaint Investigator, he/she
shall work with the Complaint Investigator throughout the investigation to clarify City
policies and assist ensuring proper conduct of the investigation.
This initial report can be oral or written. In the case of an oral report, the official will
gather the pertinent information concerning the allegation and prepare a written
statement constituting the complaint for the approval and signature of
the complainant. The investigator shall ask the complainant what action would
resolve the issue. The written and signed statement of the complaint will initiate a
formal investigation into the matter. The City Manager's Office shall be notified that
a complaint has been filed and that an investigation is proceeding.
Copies of the signed statement will be made available to the appropriate Department
Head(s) and the Human Resources Manager.
Within seven (7) working days of receipt of the signed, written complaint,
the individual conducting the investigation will proceed with it as follows:
A. The Complaint Investigator shall contact the person(s) who allegedly
engaged in discrimination or harassment and inform him or her of the basis
for the complaint and give the individual and his/her representative
an opportunity to respond. The person accused shall have a right to have a
representative present. The Complaint Investigator will give the accused a
copy of the complaint. The Complaint Investigator will make a record of any
response. The Complaint Investigator will give appropriate warning to the
accused regarding future contact with the complainant.
B. That person shall then have seven (7) working days to respond to the
complaint orally, in writing, or both. The response shall be directed to the
Complaint Investigator. In the case of an oral response, the Complaint
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 62 of 70
58
Investigator will prepare a written statement for the approval and signature of
the person who allegedly engaged in discrimination or harassment.
C. Upon receipt of the response, the Complaint Investigator will review,
research and investigate, as necessary, to determine whether
discrimination or harassment has occurred. The investigation may be
expanded to include interviews with witnesses and supervisors as
appropriate. The Investigator shall maintain a confidential record of
information gathered in the investigation. The investigation shall be
completed as quickly as possible. The Investigator has a duty to act in a
reasonably timely manner given the circumstances and avoid delay.
D. Within seven (7) working days of completion of the investigation, the
Department Head(s) and Human Resources Manager will consult to review
the proposed findings and consider the appropriate action to be taken. Action
may include discipline, up to and including discharge. Files should be made
available to the accused employee, if there is a recommendation for discipline
in conformity with the Skelly decision. The Department Head of the accused
shall have the authority to determine what action, if any, will be taken after
such consultation. The Human Resources Manager's review shall be for the
purpose of ensuring compliance with the law and consistency with City policy.
A Department Head or the Human Resources Manager will be excluded from this
procedure in cases where he/she is named as a person responsible for the alleged
discrimination/harassment. In such cases, the authority to consider what action
to take shall rest with the remaining officers and the Assistant City Manager. In
such cases, the Assistant City Manager shall have the authority to determine what
action will be taken.
E. The Department Head shall notify both parties, in writing, of the findings and
conclusions with copies to the Human Resources Manager, other Department
Head, if appropriate, and the City Manager's Office. This decision shall be
final unless the employee has a right to appeal the action taken against
him/her under the City rules or a Memorandum of Understanding. The
complainant shall be notified of the corrective action taken with due respect
for the privacy rights of the affected employee(s).
F. The person who allegedly engaged in discrimination, harassment, or
retaliation retains all rights provided for in the Memorandum of Understanding
and the City rules.

ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 63 of 70
59
regulations governing hours of work, leaves and holidays. All
departments shall maintain attendance records for all employees.
Each employee will be at work and ready to work at starting time and
will work until quitting time. Habitual tardiness will be a matter for
disciplinary action.

notifying their supervisor in a timely manner indicating when the

with this rule will be subject to disciplinary action.
RULE 16 ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE POLICY
Policy
It is City of San Juan Capistrano policy that employees shall not be
impaired by, or have in their biological system, or be in possession,
of alcohol or drugs while on City property, at work locations, or while
on duty or in pre-arranged on-call status, and that employees shall not
sell or provide drugs or alcohol to any other employee or person while
on duty or in pre-arranged on-call status.
While use of validly prescribed medications and drugs does not violate
this policy per se, failure by an employee to notify his/her supervisor,
before beginning work, when taking medications or drugs
which could foreseeably interfere with the safe and effective
performance of duties, or the operation of City equipment, can result in
discipline up to and including discharge. In the event there is a
question regarding an employee's ability to safely and effectively
perform assigned duties while using such medications or drugs,
clearance from a qualified physician may be required.
The City reserves the right to search, without employee consent, all
work areas and property in which the City maintains control or joint
control with the employee. Otherwise, the City may notify appropriate
law enforcement agencies that an employee may have illegal drugs in
his or her possession or in an area not jointly or fully controlled by the
City.
Employees reasonably believed to be under the influence of alcohol
or drugs may be required to submit to an alcohol and/or drug analysis
and may be prevented from engaging in further work and shall be
detained for a reasonable time until he or she can be safely transported
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 64 of 70
60
from the work site.
Refusal to immediately submit to an alcohol and/or drug analysis
when requested by City management or law enforcement personnel,
or refusal to submit to a search of personal properties if requested by
law enforcement personnel, may constitute insubordination and be
grounds for discipline up to and including discharge.
The City of San Juan Capistrano is committed to providing
reasonable accommodation to those employees whose drug or
alcohol problem classifies them as disabled under federal and/or state
law.
The City of San Juan Capistrano is concerned with the well-being and
safety of all its employees. It will assist employees who voluntarily
seek help for alcohol or drug problems. Employees should contact
their supervisor or the Personnel Officer or designee for additional
information.
Application
This policy applies to all employees of the City of San Juan
Capistrano. This policy applies to alcohol and drugs, including all
substances, drugs, or medications, whether legal or illegal, which
could impair an employee's ability to effectively and safely perform the

* not report to work or be subject to duty while his/her ability to perform job
duties is impaired due to on or off duty alcohol or drug use;

prescription drugs without a prescription, during working hours or while
subject to duty, on breaks, during meal periods or at any time while on City
property or in City vehicles;

alcohol or impairing drugs, including illegal drugs and prescription drugs

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES AND GUIDELINES
* Supervisors are responsible for reasonable enforcement of this policy.
* Supervisors may request that an employee submit to a drug and/or
alcohol test when a supervisor has a reasonable suspicion that an
employee is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on
the job or on pre-arranged on-call status.
"Reasonable suspicion" is a belief based on objective facts sufficient to
lead a reasonably prudent supervisor to suspect that an employee is
under the influence of drugs or alcohol so that the employee's ability to
perform the functions of the job is impaired or so that the employee's
ability to perform his/her job safely is reduced.
For example, any of the following, alone or in combination, may constitute
reasonable suspicion:
Slurred speech;
Alcohol odor on breath;
Unsteady walking and movement;
An accident involving City property, where it appears the employee's
conduct is at fault;
Physical altercation;
Verbal altercation;
Atypical behavior;
ATTACHMENT 12 - Page 66 of 70
62
Possession of alcohol or drugs;
Information obtained from a reliable person with personal knowledge.
* Any supervisor requesting an employee to submit to a drug and/or
alcohol test will document in writing the facts constituting reasonable
suspicion that the employee in question is intoxicated or under the
influence of drugs.
* The authority for enforcement and testing under this policy is limited
to an employee's chain-of-command supervisors, including direct
supervisor, division manager, Department Head and City Manager
or his designee.
* Upon suspicion that an employee is impaired, the· supervisor must
request that another supervisor (in the employee's chain-of-
command, whenever possible) be present to witness the signs of
impairment and concur with the need for testing.
* Employees refusing an order to submit to a drug and/or alcohol
analysis upon request shall be reminded of the requirements and
disciplinary consequences of this policy. Where there is reasonable
suspicion that the employee is under the influence of alcohol or
drugs, the supervisor shall arrange for the employee to be safely
transported home.
* No employee shall be physically searched on their person nor shall
the personal possession of employee be searched without the freely
given consent of, and in the presence of, the employee.
* Department Heads or designee shall be notified when there is
reasonable suspicion to believe that an employee may have illegal
drugs in his or her possession or in an area not jointly or fully
controlled by the City. If the Department Head or designee concurs
that there is reasonable suspicion of illegal drug possession, the
Department Head shall notify the appropriate law enforcement
agency.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION AND PROCEDURE

impair an employee's ability to effectively and safely perform the functions
of his/her job, including, but not limited to, prescription medications,
alcohol, heroin, cocaine, morphine and its derivatives, P.C.P., methadone,
barbiturates, amphetamines, marijuana and other cannabinoids. Exhibit
"A" describes the method in which the initial test will be conducted, how

of request bona fide verification of a valid current prescription for the drug
identified in the drug screen. The prescription must be in the employee's

prescription, or if the prescription is not in the employee's name, or if the
employee has not previously notified his or her supervisor, the employee
will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
If an alcohol or drug test is positive for alcohol or drugs, the City shall
conduct an investigation to gather all facts. The decision to discipline or
discharge will be carried out in conformance with Rule 11 of the City of
San Juan Capistrano Personnel Rules and Regulations.
Confidentiality
Laboratory reports and test results shall not appear in an employee's
general personnel folder. Information of this nature will be contained in a
separate confidential medical folder that will be securely kept under the
control of the Personnel Officer. The reports or test results may be
disclosed to City management on a strictly need-to-know basis and to the
tested employee upon request. Disclosures, without patient consent, may

against Consultant or any subcontractor.
