Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: City Agreement No.2002-104 (“Agreement”) provides that City employee Donald Lockhart shall remain a City employee while serving as the Executive Officer at LAFCo, and that LAFCo will fully reimburse the City for all salary and benefits associated with Mr. Lockhart’s employment. Since the execution of the Agreement, Mr. Lockhart’s job duties have changed, and so the Agreement must be amended, as reflected in Attachments 2 and 3, to reflect that Mr. Lockhart is being placed in the job classification New Growth Manager.
Policy Considerations: This proposed Amendment to the Agreement will allow LAFCo to continue the contract with the City of Sacramento to reimburse the City for the salary and benefits of Mr. Lockhart in the budgeted position of New Growth Manager (LAFCo Executive Officer). The agreement will allow the employee to retain all of his current health, retirement, vacation and other benefits, with no loss or interruption in their accrual. The effective date of this amendment will be December 10, 2018.
Economic Impacts: None
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Continuing administrative activities and government fiscal activities do not constitute a project and are therefore exempt from CEQA review [CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(2) and (b)(4)].
Sustainability: The agreement is consistent with the City's General Plan Vision & Guiding Principles in support of Sustainability to focus on regional issues and development and support innovative solutions which encourage regional cooperation
Commission/Committee Action: The Sacramento LAFCo adopted the Amendment reflected in Attachment 3 during its Regular Meeting on May 1, 2019. The effective date of this amendment will be December 10, 2018.
Rationale for Recommendation: The Sacramento LAFCo has a need for an Executive Officer. Previously, LAFCo requested the City provide support to meet the need for an Assistant Executive Officer. The Agreement was executed on July 22, 2002. This amendment to the Agreement will enable LAFCo to continue to contract with the City. The effective date of this amendment will be December 10, 2018.
Financial Considerations: The agreement between the City and LAFCo will fully reimburse the City for all costs incurred under the agreement for the Executive Officer position. There is no adverse fiscal impact to the City.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
Background: On July 22, 2002, the City Council authorized a City position for the purpose of implementing the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, with full cost reimbursement. The staff recommended action will continue the contract with Sacramento LAFCo for the position of Executive Officer. The full cost of this position will continue to be reimbursed by LAFCo. The effective date of this amendment will be December 10, 2018.
The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 provides for LAFCos throughout California to be independent agencies.
