Jeff Wan's City Council Updates
On Tuesday, the Council met and discussed several significant items:
- We held a public hearing regarding real property assessment increases for the Diablo Estates at Clayton Benefit Assessment District. This was the annual increase of the levy of real property tax assessments at the Diablo Estates Assessment District. The city administers certain functions for the group of homes similar to an HOA manager and the assessments cover those costs. The City is allowed to raise the assessment each year by CPI which would have been 2.22%, however based on the needs of the District, the Council decided to increase the amount by 2.0%.
I asked a question about the projected interest income attributable to the District. It was budgeted at zero, however it appears that the interest income associated with the reserve balance may not have been applied. Staff will do an inception to date look and come back with more information.
- We adopted two resolutions approving the new Memorandum of Understanding with the City's management employees and updated the associated salary schedule update. This is consistent with the ongoing negotiations with City staff.
- We adopted a resolution updating the job descriptions of Police officer and Senior Maintenance Worker. This brings more current these job descriptions as they haven't been updated in some time. We also created a new job description for Seasonal Maintenance Worker - Temporary Position. This role will better allow the City to manage it's seasonal workers.
- We adopted the annual appropriation limit that is required by State law. This was a perfunctory action based on a mathematical formula established by the State.
