City Council Meeting
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5
SUBJECT: TREASURER’S REPORT FOR THE MONTH ENDED
JANUARY 31, 2024
MEETING DATE: March 18, 2024
PREPARED BY: Celeste Reid, Finance Director and Treasurer
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council receive and file the Investment Report for the month
ended January 31, 2024.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Council Resolution No. 2023-68 approved on November 6, 2023, the
monthly Treasurer’s Report is hereby submitted. The report complies with the aforementioned
Council resolution, as well as Government Code Section 53646.
DISCUSSION: The investment report provides information in accordance with the Investment
Policy approved by Council Resolution No. 2023-68. Information includes the reporting of realized
and unrealized gain and loss activity for the respective month of reporting. Generally, unrealized
gains and losses are the day-to-day increases or decreases in an assets value. Until an investment
is sold for cash, the gains or losses remain unrealized. Realized gains and losses reflect the results
of selling of investments and are the difference between the cost basis and the market value as of
the transaction date of sale. The City will continually have reportable changes of unrealized gain
and loss activity between cost basis and market value as underlying investments are subject to the
variability of market conditions. Staff evaluates investment options on an ongoing basis to ensure
reasonable access to funds and reserves are set aside to maintain availability of cash position for
general operations and capital assets.
Significant transactions during the month include transfers of $3,500,000 from the General Fund
checking account for the purchase of a six-month CD with HCN Bank, with a maturity date of July
30, 2024 and interest rate of 4.89%. Accrued interest earnings will post in June 2024 for interest
earned through that period.
FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue was recognized for interest and dividend earnings of $226,461 for
October – December 2023 quarterly interest from the LAIF fund and $9,668 for CFD and Successor
Agency funds.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2024-09 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CALIMESA, CALIFORNIA,
IDENTIFYING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE
CITY OF CALIMESA FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONSE
AWAY FROM THEIR OFFICIAL DUTY STATION TO A
MASTER MUTUAL AID SYSTEM RESPONSE TO AN
EMERGENCY INCIDENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
CALIFORNIA FIRE ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT
MEETING DATE: March 18, 2024
PREPARED BY: Geraldo Rodriguez, Calimesa Deputy Fire Marshal
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-09, a Resolution of the City
Council of the City of Calimesa, California, identifying the terms and conditions for the City of
Calimesa Fire Department response away from their official duty station to a Master Mutual Aid
System response to an emergency incident in conjunction with the California Fire Assistance
Agreement (CFAA).
BACKGROUND: On June 4, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-25, which
provided the terms and conditions for the City Of Calimesa Fire Department response to emergency
incidents in conjunction with the California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA) reimbursement
program under the California Master Mutual Aid System. Included in the terms and conditions of
Resolution No. 2018-25 were the identification of the Calimesa Fire Department employment
position classifications and the reimbursement component of portal to portal for full reimbursement
for the City’s Fire Department personnel and equipment assigned to the emergency incident.
Since adopting Resolution No. 2018-25, the City of Calimesa Fire Department has expanded its
employment position classifications or titles to include the new classifications of Apparatus Engineer
and Firefighter/Paramedic. As a result of the Fire Department’s additional employment position
classifications, the City is required to submit a local governing body resolution identifying the
Calimesa Fire Department employment position classifications and the reimbursement component
of portal to portal for full reimbursement to the California Office of Emergency Services (CAL OES),
who is responsible for overseeing local government fire agencies interactions with CFAA under the
California Master Mutual Aid System.
Although the wording in the New Resolution differs slightly from Resolution No. 2018-25, the intent
is identical to confirm the City’s pay practices for its Fire Department personnel. By doing so, the
City will be eligible for full “portal to portal” reimbursement if the City of Calimesa Fire Department
Page 32 of 54
is called upon for assistants under the California Master Mutal Aid System in conjunction with
CFAA. Resolution 2018-25 and the June 4, 2018 staff report are attached for reference.
DISCUSSION: Without City Council adaption and submittal of Resolution 2024-09 to CAL OES,
the City would not be eligible for CFAA reimbursement cost for City of Calimesa Fire Department
positions Apparatus Engineers and Firefighter Paramedics participation in emergency incidents
under Master Mutual Aid.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Calimesa would fully burden the cost associated with the City of
Calimesa Fire Department positions Apparatus Engineers and Firefighter Paramedics participation
in emergency incidents under the Master Mutual Aid system in conjunction with CFAA.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION REGARDING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONSE AWAY FROM THEIR OFFICIAL
DUTY STATION AND ASSIGNED TO AN EMERGENCY INCIDENT
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2018

of the City Council of the City of Calimesa, California, identifying the terms and conditions
for fire department response away from their official duty station and assigned to an

compensation for personnel in the event our Fire Department is called upon under the

City Council Meeting
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7
SUBJECT: CALIMESA FIRE DEPARTMENT EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
SYSTEM – HANDHELD PORTABLE RADIO PURCHASE AND
REPLACEMENT
MEETING DATE: March 18, 2024
PREPARED BY: Tim O’Connell, Fire Chief
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the necessary purchase and replacement of
the Fire Departments handheld radios.
BACKGROUND: Upon formation of the City’s municipal Fire Department effective January 1, 2018,
as a result of the termination of the previous Fire Protection Services Agreement with the County of
Riverside, the city council authorized the City Manager and Fire Consultants to purchase the
suggested, recommended and required equipment to provide “all risk, full service,” fire protection
and suppression services.
Some of this equipment included the handheld portable radio inventory, which was manufactured
by Bendix-King, Inc. The current inventory of radios was acquired during the upfitting and transition
from the previous fire services contract agency and were compliant with the State of California –
Fire Scope radio programing and hardware requirements for use during emergency operations and
daily radio communications as stipulated and required with the City of Calimesa / Riverside County
CAL-Fire Radio Communications Dispatch Agreement. Each firefighter (riding position) is required
to be assigned at least one handheld radio for fireground communications and accountability.
Command Officers in some cases are required to operate multiple radios for command and tactical
operations.
The handheld radios currently utilized (BK-DPH102XCMD) by Calimesa Firefighters, have become
obsolete and are no longer manufactured and are unable to meet the minimum frequency and
programing requirements needed for use during emergency incidents.
DISCUSSION: The action before the City Council is for the authorization to purchase the equipment
described in the subsequent attachments (A-D), required for use during Inherently Dangerous to
Life or Death (IDLH) operations and emergency responses. The acquisition and purchase of the
needed fifteen (15) was not foreseen as the radio programing and channel allocations occurred
unexpectedly without prior notification from the State of California. Staff had previously budgeted
for a replacement plan to acquire a portion of the radios over the coming Adopted Budget and
Capital Acquisition cycles until the transition was completed. The Calimesa Fire Department
currently possesses a cashe of approximately thirty (30) handheld radios and is seeking to replace
Page 39 of 54
(15) fifteen. The total cashe required is calculated at forty-two (42). Staff will continue to add to the
needed radio compliment/cashe annually as previously discussed.
Staff obtained several bids from potential vendors for the procurement of the currently available
Bendix King (BKR 5000) replacement VHF handheld radios.
FISCAL IMPACT: This expense was not included as part of the 2023-2024 adopted budget General
Fund. The quoted total expense will be approximately $38,301.34 charged to Fire Department Fund:
01-4300-8300 and will not require adjustment to the 2023-24 Adopted Budget

City Council Meeting
Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 8
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING AN AMENDMENTS TO THE
CALIMESA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 2.10 (CITY COUNCIL),
SECTION 2.10.040 (COMPENSATION) OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FOLLOWING THE ADOPTION OF SENATE BILL 329
MEETING DATE: March 18, 2024
PREPARED BY: Will Kolbow, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council provide direction to staff regarding potential changes
to the salaries of member of the City Council through an ordinance aligning with Senate Bill 329 and
applicable law.
BACKGROUND: The December 1, 1990 City Council meeting was the first meeting following the
incorporation of the City of Calimesa. At the December 1, 1990 meeting ordinance no. 90-2 was
adopted setting the date, time and location of the City Council meetings as well as setting the
compensation of the City Council at $300.00 per month. The City Council compensation has not
been adjusted since that time.
On February 5, 2024, staff presented an item related to City Council compensation. The City
Council discussed the item but did not come to any conclusion on where to set compensation. Staff
suggested they would do more research and bring the item back for further discussion.
DISCUSSION: On June 29, 2023, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 329 into law,
allowing cities an opportunity to adjust City Council salaries to take into account inflation, the work
performed, and the time dedicated by local government officials, and the need to ensure that people
are not discouraged from seeking city office due to the low pay and high demands of the office.
Before the adoption of SB 329 Government Code Section 36516 set the monthly salaries for Council
members of cities having populations up to and including 35,000 in an amount up to $300.00. The
City of Calimesa adopted the $300 monthly salary based on the local population in 1990. According
to the U.S. Census Bureau, the estimated population of Calimesa as of July 1, 2022 was 11,017.
Government Code Section 36516, amended pursuant to SB 329, provides the new base pay
amount for members of the City Council in Calimesa and all other cities having populations up to
and including 35,000, in an amount up to and including $950 per month. Further it provides that the
salary may be adjusted in one of two ways as follows:
1) In an amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based upon the California Consumer
Price Index, which shall not exceed 10% for each calendar year; or
Page 47 of 54
2) An amount equal to 5% for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment
of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted.
Government Code Section 36516 requires that an ordinance to increase Council member
compensation by considered in an open session for introduction and first reading and then again
for a second reading and final adoption.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 36516.5, any Council salary increase may take effect only
when at least one member of the Council commences a new term.
Following the discussion of this item on February 5, 2024, staff calculated the current compensation
based on inflation from December 1990 to the present. The $300 per month set in December 1990
is worth $691.52 today. Since any increase would take effect following the November 2024 election,
staff recommends City Council compensation be rounded up from the calculated amount to $700
per month. Should Council direction include a request to pursue a City Council salary increase,
staff will bring back an ordinance for Council consideration to a future meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT: Future budgets would reflect any increase in City Council salaries.

GOVERNMENT CODE
Section 36516
36516. (a) (1) A city council may enact an ordinance providing that each member
of the city council shall receive a salary based on the population of the city as set
forth in paragraph (2).
(2) The salaries approved by ordinance under paragraph (1) shall be as follows:

hundred fifty dollars ($950) per month.

including one thousand two hundred seventy-five dollars ($1,275) per month.
(C) In cities over 50,000 up to and including 75,000 in population, up to and
including one thousand six hundred dollars ($1,600) per month.
(D) In cities over 75,000 up to and including 150,000 in population, up to and
including one thousand nine hundred dollars ($1,900) per month.
(E) In cities over 150,000 up to and including 250,000 in population, up to and

(F) In cities over 250,000 population, up to and including three thousand two
hundred dollars ($3,200) per month.
(3) For the purposes of this subdivision, the population of a city shall be determined
by the last preceding federal census, or a subsequent census, or estimate validated by
the Department of Finance.
(4) The salary of council members may be increased beyond the amount provided
in this subdivision by an ordinance or by an amendment to an ordinance, but the
amount of the increase shall not exceed the greater of either of the following:
(A) An amount equal to 5 percent for each calendar year from the operative date
of the last adjustment of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is
enacted.
(B) An amount equal to inflation since January 1, 2024, based upon the California
Consumer Price Index, which shall not exceed 10 percent for each calendar year.
(5) No ordinance shall be enacted or amended to provide automatic future increases
in salary.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), at any municipal election, the question of
whether city council members shall receive a salary for services, and the amount of
that salary, may be submitted to the electors. If a majority of the electors voting at
the election favor it, all of the council members shall receive the salary specified in
the election call. The salary of council members may be increased beyond the amount
provided in this section or decreased below the amount in the same manner.
Page 53 of 54
(c) Unless specifically authorized by another statute, a city council may not enact
an ordinance providing for compensation to city council members in excess of that
authorized by the procedures described in subdivisions (a) and (b). For the purposes
of this section, compensation includes payment for service by a city council member
on a commission, committee, board, authority, or similar body on which the city
council member serves. If the other statute that authorizes the compensation does not
specify the amount of compensation, the maximum amount shall be one hundred fifty
dollars ($150) per month for each commission, committee, board, authority, or similar
body.
(d) Any amounts paid by a city for retirement, health and welfare, and federal
social security benefits shall not be included for purposes of determining salary under
this section, provided that the same benefits are available and paid by the city for its
employees.
(e) Any amounts paid by a city to reimburse a council member for actual and
necessary expenses pursuant to Section 36514.5 shall not be included for purposes
of determining salary pursuant to this section.
(f) A city council member may waive any or all of the compensation permitted by
this section.
(g) (1) For the purposes of this section, a city council shall consider the adoption
of an ordinance to increase compensation in open session during at least two regular
meetings of the city council.
(2) At the first meeting, the city council shall present the proposed ordinance,
which shall include findings demonstrating the need for the increased compensation.
The ordinance shall not be adopted at the first meeting.
(3) At least seven days after the first meeting, the city council shall hold a second
meeting to consider whether to adopt the ordinance.
(Amended by Stats. 2023, Ch. 27, Sec. 2. (SB 329) Effective January 1, 2024.)
