The rate of pay for every position within the City of National City classification system is governed by a City
Council approved compensation plan. Unless expressly agreed to by the City Council, no incumbent shall receive
a base salary greater than the top step of the range (for non-exempt employees) or the top of the band (for exempt
employees) of his/her classification. Periodically, the Human Resources conducts a review of salary ranges and
bands to determine if they are still appropriate based on a number of factors including internal compress, labor
market and the City Manager's ability to execute cost of living or merit increases. In response to one such recent
review, staff seeks to upwardly adjust the top end of the salary bands for three positions in the Executive
Compensation Plan: City Engineer from $11,517.75 to $12,669.53 per month, Community Development Director
from $12,416.25 to $13,657.88 per month and Records Management Officer from $7,827.07 to $8,609.78 per

increase or in any other way effect the City's unfunded pension liability (this form of compensation is non-
PERSable), nor does it have any other long term fiscal implications. In order to account for the payment of this
expense, staff also seeks to establish appropriations for Deferred Compensation totaling $86,400.

Every position within the City of National City has an official job title or classification. Such titles or
classifications are determined by the work performed by the position and are listed in the Compensation Plan of
the appropriate employee group. With this action, staff requests that the existing Executive group position be
retitled from City Engineer to Director of Public Works/City Engineer. In January, 2014 the Engineering and
Public Works Departments were merged for operational efficiency. Prior to the merger, the City Engineer was
responsible for overseeing all aspects of engineering design, construction and inspection services performed by in-
house and consultant staff. After the merger, the City Engineer's duties expanded to include oversight for all
public works functions: equipment, facility, parks, and street and wastewater maintenance. The requested title is
intended to more accurately convey the span of control exercised by the incumbent. The requested title is intended
to more accurately convey the span of control exercised by the position. Further, the requested title is more
consistent with that of the department's assistant director: Assistant Director of Public Works/ Engineering.

Program Narrative
The National City Police Department is requesting approval to utilize its Fiscal Year (FY) 2015
Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program -Local Solicitation allocation of
$26,042 to purchase (2) Panasonic Toughbook computers, (2) Motorola Handheld Police Radios,
and (1) Quad Crisis Response Module Hostage Throw -phone. This grant will only be utilized for
the procurement of technologies to assist frontline law enforcement personnel in the field.
The National City Police Department is always seeking new ways to improve our equipment to
stay on the forefront of technology to remain competitive with societal improvements and the
abilities of the criminal element using technology to commit crime. The acquisition of
computers, radios, and phone equipment will enable officers to stay technologically ahead of
the criminal element.
The National City Police Department currently uses old 3G technology. The new computers
purchased with this grant will utilize 4G technology more suited for today's high tech
applications. The grant funded police radios will be GPS enabled to allow for dispatchers to
locate an officer from the GPS location feature on the radio. Our current hostage throw phone
is antiquated. We plan to purchase the newest, state of the art equipment available to allow us
to communicate in a hostage situation as effectively as possible under almost any
circumstances.

3. Resolution
EXPLANATION
Mr. Abraham Edid, property owner of 240 Norton Avenue, has started grading his
property in preparation for construction of two new single family dwelling units. Access
to the property located at 240 Norton Avenue is provided through a private, 20-foot wide
easement that extends from Norton Avenue, across the property located at 242 Norton
Avenue, and onto the property located at 240 Norton Avenue. The property located at
242 Norton Avenue is also owned by ivIr. %did.
Since 240 Norton Avenue does not front the street, resulting in longer distances to fire
hydrants, the National City Fire Department has required the owner to provide an
easement for emergency vehicle access. The easement for emergency vehicle access will
traverse over the same area as the existing private access easement. See Exhibits "A" and
"B" for the legal description and map.
The property owner of 240 Norton Avenue has executed a Grant Deed to the City of
National City for a Vehicular Access Easement. The property owner is requesting that
the City Council accept the easement and authorize the recordation of the easement.

BACKGROUND REPORT
Site Characteristics
The 2,490 square -foot lot is located on the west side of "E" Avenue, north of East
20th Street in the RM-3 (Very High Density Multi -Unit Residential) zone. The
property is roughly 33 feet wide and 77 feet deep. The property is developed with
a 916 square -foot three bedroom house, which spans the entire lot. The existing
house is built at or close to the side setbacks — five feet on the south and less on
the north. The home has a front setback of almost 17 feet. There is no covered or
other parking on site.
The front of the lot is currently used to store a vehicle, including a temporary
vehicle cover. Vehicles have to jump the curb in order to access the property and
the access gate swings outward over the sidewalk (public right-of-way). All these
things are prohibited by the Municipal Code.
Proposed Use
Since the property has no parking on site, the applicant is requesting to be able
to park in their front yard. There is no possibility of vehicular access to the rear of
the site and street parking is at a premium at this location, although there is no
available permit parking district in this area. Parking in the front yard would
necessitate a driveway and curb cut to be installed.
Analysis
The Land Use Code (LUC) prohibits parking in a street setback — the front yard
setback in this case. The required front yard setback in the RM-3 zone is 10 feet.
The subject property has almost 17 feet between the house and the property line;
therefore, there is only 7 feet for a parking space where 18 feet is required (the
minimum dimensions for a standard parking space are 9 feet by 18 feet).
The property has a rough dimension of 33 by 77 feet and a size of approximately
2,500 square feet. The minimum lot width required by the Subdivision Ordinance
is 50 feet and the minimum lot size required by the Land Use Code is 5,000
square feet. Therefore, the property is restricted due to its size. Almost all other
lots on this street in the same block exceed the minimum lot size. The next
smallest lot is 5,000 square feet in size. Another contributing factor is the location
of the existing house, which spans almost the entirety of the lot. The reduced
north side setback was approved through a building permit many years ago. The
south side setback is approximately five feet, the minimum required in the RM-3
zone.
Three specific findings must be made in order to approve a Zone Variance request.
The first is that the lot is affected by special circumstances, including size, shape, or
topography, that deprive the lot of the ability to develop per the LUC as others in the
area have. In this case the property is less than half the minimum lot size required
in the zone, which restricts the normal buildable area afforded standard -shaped
lots. Given the location of the existing house, there is no room to locate a parking
area — covered or otherwise — on the lot without encroaching into the required front
yard setback.
The second finding is that granting of the Variance does not constitute a grant of
special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the
vicinity and zone in which such property is situated. In this case there are multiple
properties in the same neighborhood in the same zone which have parking areas in
the front of lot. Being that this is a multiple -family residential zone, several
developments have parking areas directly adjacent to the sidewalk.
The third finding is that the Variance does not authorize a use that is not otherwise
allowed in the zone. In this case a single-family home is required to have at least
two parking spaces per the Land Use Code, where there are none. Parking in and
of itself is required and allowed in all zones throughout the City.
Conditions of Approval
Comments were received from the Engineering Department related to drainage,
visibility, and permitting for a new driveway. The comments are included as
Conditions of Approval. A condition is also included that requires the removal of
temporary structures (vehicle cover/awning), which are not permitted by the Land
Use Code.
Approval of this Zone Variance would not result in any construction other than a
driveway apron and fencing, items that would either not require a permit (fencing)
or would normally be allowed anyway (driveway apron). As such, this proposal is
not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Furthermore, approval of the Variance would ensure that existing violations of the
Municipal Code (curb jumping, right-of-way encroachment) are abated.
Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on July 20, 2015.
Commissioners asked questions regarding parking districts, street parking,
conditions of approval, and fencing. The Commission voted to approve the
Variance based on required findings and subject to Conditions of Approval.
Council reviewed the Notice of Decision of the Planning Commission's approval
at their meeting of August 4, 2015, at which time they set the item for hearing in
order to discuss the matter further.
The question that triggered the item being set for hearing was if approval of this
request would set a precedent for similar requests that could potentially alter the
character of residential neighborhoods. As discussed in the Analysis section
above, there are certain physical characteristics that are required in order to
make the findings for a variance (size, shape, or topography). In this case, the lot
is unique in that it is narrower in width, lesser in depth, and smaller in size than
all other lots in the area. Therefore, given that there are no other lots in the area
that are less than the minimum lot size required (5,000 square feet), staff does
not have any concerns related to any averse precedent or impact to existing or
future neighborhood character; no other properties would qualify for the same
type of variance.
Summary
Because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including the small
size of the lot, there is no room to install a parking space on the property without
encroaching into the required front yard setback. In addition, allowing parking on
site and in the front yard will alleviate on -street parking issues. Granting of the
Variance would not be a privilege inconsistent with other properties in the area as
there are multiple lots in this block with front yard parking. The proposal is
consistent with all required findings of approval and would be consistent with all
other regulations.
The options available to the Council are as follows:
1. Approve 2015-05 Z subject to the attached conditions of approval, based on
attached findings; or
2. Deny 2015-05 Z based on findings to be determined by the City Council; or
3. Continue the item to a specific date in order to obtain additional.
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
2015-05 Z, 1926 "E" Avenue
1. Because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size,
shape, or topography, the strict application of Title 18 of the Municipal Code
(Zoning) deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in
the vicinity and under the identical zone classification, since the property is
less than half the minimum lot size required in the zone, which restricts the
normal buildable area afforded standard -shaped lots, and given the location
of the existing house, there is no room to locate a parking area — covered or
otherwise — on the lot without encroaching into the required front yard
setback.
2. The requested Variance is subject to such conditions which will assure that
the adjustment authorized will not constitute a grant of special privileges
inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone
in which such property is situated, since there are multiple properties in the
same neighborhood in the same zone which have parking areas in the front
of lot, and since conditions ensure that appropriate permits will be submitted
for construction of the driveway to meet City standards.
3. The Variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise
expressly authorized by the zoning regulations governing the parcel of
property, since a single-family home is required to have at least two parking
spaces per the Land Use Code, where there are none, and that parking in
and of itself is required and allowed in all zones throughout the City.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
2015-05 Z, 1926 "E" Avenue
General
1. This Zone Variance authorizes a parking space to be located in the front yard
setback of single-family residential located at 1926 "E" Avenue. Plans submitted
for approvals shall show the location of the parking space in substantial
conformance with Exhibit A, Case File No. 2015-05 CUP, dated 3/19/2015.
2. Within four (4) days of approval, pursuant to Fish and Game Code 711.4 and
the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 753.5, the applicant shall
pay all necessary environmental filing fees for the San Diego County Clerk.
Checks shall be made payable to the County Clerk and submitted to the
National City Planning Department.
3. This permit shall become null and void if not exercised within one year after
adoption of the Resolution of approval unless extended according to procedures
specified in Section 18.12.040 of the Municipal Code.
4. Before this Zone Variance shall become effective, the applicant and the
property owner both shall sign and have notarized an Acceptance Form,
provided by the Planning Department, acknowledging and accepting all
conditions imposed upon the approval of this permit. Failure to return the
signed and notarized Acceptance Form within 30 days of its receipt shall
automatically terminate the Zone Variance. The applicant shall also submit
evidence to the satisfaction of the Planning Department that a Notice of
Restriction on Real Property is recorded with the County Recorder. The
applicant shall pay necessary recording fees to the County. The Notice of
Restriction shall provide information that conditions imposed by approval of the
Zone Variance are binding on all present or future interest holders or estate
holders of the property. The Notice of Restriction shall be approved as to form
by the City Attorney and signed by the Executive Director prior to recordation.
Engineering
5. If the existing driveway is reconstructed, drainage shall be directed away from
the foundation of the existing structure.
6. The maximum height of fences and walls within the front yard setback is four
feet. The height of existing fencing or walls that exceed this dimension shall
be reduced to four feet less for visibility and pedestrian safety purposes.
7. The existing gate used for vehicular access swings out across the sidewalk,
which is prohibited. The gate shall be reconfigured or reconstructed so that it
does not swing into the public right-of-way.
8. A driveway permit shall be obtained from the National City Engineering
Division. The cost is $297.
9. A plan review and inspection fee of $500 shall be posted with the National
City Engineering Division.
10.AII vehicular access to the property shall utilize a City -approved driveway
apron and driveway. Driving a vehicle over the curb to access the property is
a violation of National City Municipal Code Section 7.18.130, violation of
which may result in citations or other legal remedies.
Planning
11. Temporary vehicle covers or other similar structures are not permitted. Any
existing structures of this kind shall be removed immediately.

staff report contained in Case File No. 2015-05 Z, which is maintained by the City and
incorporated herein by reference along with evidence and testimony at said hearing;
and,
WHEREAS, this action is taken pursuant to all applicable procedures required by
State law and City law; and,
WHEREAS, the action recited herein is found to be essential for the preservation
of public health, safety, and general welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE iT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City
of National City, California, that the testimony and evidence presented to the Planning
Commission at the public hearing held on July 20, 2015, support the following findings:
1. Because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape,
or topography, the strict application of Title 18 of the Municipal Code (Zoning)
deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and
under the identical zone classification, since the property is less than half t►ie
minimum lot size required in the zone, which restricts the normal buildable area
afforded standard -shaped lots, and given the location of the existing house, there
is no room to locate a parking area — covered or otherwise - on the lot without
encroaching into the required front yard setback.
2. The requested Variance is subject to such conditions which will assure that the
adjustment authorized win not constitute a grant of special priviieges inconsistent
with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such
property is situated, since there are multiple properties in the same neighborhood
in the same zone which have parking areas in the front of lot, and since conditions
ensure that appropriate permits will be submitted for construction of the driveway
to meet City standards.
3. The Variance does not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly
authorized by the zoning regulations governing the parcel of property, since a
single-family home is required to have at least two parking spaces per the Land
Use Code, where there are none, and that parking in and of itself is required and
allowed in all zones throughout the City.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for Zone Variance is approved
subject to the following conditions:
General
1. This Zone Variance authorizes a parking space to be located in the front yard setback
of single-family residential located at 1926 "E" Avenue. Plans submitted for approvals
shall show the location of the parking space in substantial conformance with Exhibit
A, Case File No. 2015-05 CUP, dated 3i1912015.
2. Within four (4) days of approval; pursuant to Fish and Game Code 711.4 and the
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 753.5, the applicant shall pay all
necessary environmental filing fees for the San Diego County Clerk. Checks shall be
made payable to the County Clerk and submitted to the National City Planning
Department.
3. This permit shall become null and void if not exercised within one year after adoption
of the Resolution of approval unless extended according to procedures specified in
Section 18.12.040 of the Municipal Code.
4. Before this Zone Variance shall become effective, the applicant and the property
owner both shall sign and have notarized an Acceptance Form, provided by the
Planning Department, acknowledging and accepting all conditions imposed upon the
approval of this permit. Failure to return the signed and notarized Acceptance
Form within 30 days of its receipt shall automatically terminate the Zone
Variance. The applicant shall also submit evidence to the satisfaction of the Planning
Department that a Notice of Restriction on Real Property is recorded with the County
Recorder. The applicant shall pay necessary recording fees to the County. The
Notice of Restriction shall provide information that conditions imposed by approval of
the Zone Variance are binding on ail present or future interest holders or estate
holders of the property. The Notice of Restriction shall be approved as to form by the
City Attorney and signed by the Executive Director prior to recordation.
Engineering
5. If the existing driveway is reconstructed, drainage shall be directed away from the
foundation of the existing structure.
6. The maximum height of fences and walls within the front yard setback is four feet.
The height of existing fencing or walls that exceed this dimension shall be reduced
to four feet less for visibility and pedestrian safety purposes.
7 The existing gate used for vehicular access swings out across the sidewalk, which is
prohibited. The gate shall be reconfigured or reconstructed so that it does not swing
into the public right--of-way.
8. A driveway permit shall be obtained from the National City Engineering Division.
The cost is $297.
9. A plan review and inspection fee of $500 shall be posted with the National City
Engineering Division.
10.All vehicular access to the property shall utilize a City -approved driveway apron and
driveway. Driving a vehicle over the curb to access the property is a violation of
National City Municipal Code Section 7.18.130, violation of which may result in
cations or other legal remedies.
Planning
11.Temporary vehicle covers or other similar structures are not perrnitted. Any existing
structures of this kind shall be removed immediately.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be transmitted forthwith to
the applicant and to the City Council.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that this Resolutions shall become effective and final on the
day following the City Council meeting where the Planning Commission resolution is set for
review, unless an appeal in writing is filed with the City Clerk prior to 5:00 p.m. on the day of
that City Council meeting. The City Council may, at that meeting, appeal the decision of the
Planning Commission and set the matter for pubiic hearing.

ITEM
Staff Report: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of National City amending Title 2 of
the National City Municipal Code to establish the City Manager's authority to approve, settle or
compromise Workers' Compensation claims under Chapter 2.01.020.
BACKGROUND
The State of California Workers' Compensation Laws are set forth in the California Labor Code,
Insurance Code, Unemployment Insurance Code, and other sources. Specifically, the Settlement
of California Workers' Compensation Claims is dictated by the Department of Industrial
Relations/Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board
exercises judicial powers vested by the Labor Code. Administrative Law Judges are required to
approve all Workers' Compensation Claims by either:
1) A Compromise and Release — A settlement award paid in one lump sum payment
inclusive of any projected future medical costs; or
2) A Stipulation with Request for Award — A settlement award paid in weekly installments
exclusive of future medical costs. Such stipulated awards often include a provision under
which the employer will pay the cost of future medical care related to the disability.
When an employee's workers' compensation claim is ready for Settlement, a physician report is
"rated" using specific criteria developed by the State to arrive at a percent of permanent
disability that is equivalent to a sum of money. This sum of money constitutes the "Settlement"
with the employee. The State mandates that employers immediately begin paying permanent
disability benefit (even if there is a disagreement on the total amount of the Settlement), or if the
City is waiting for Settlement paperwork. In addition, the Stipulations with Request for Award
Settlements generally include "future medical" costs — these costs are unknown and are provided
based on labor code (non -discretionary).
As a result, there is very little discretion that can be applied to Workers' Compensation
Settlements. Most Settlements presented to the City Council are simply approving payments
already being made or payments that have been mandated by the State prior to the Settlement. In

the National City Municipal Code to establish the City Manager's authority to approve, settle or
compromise Workers' Compensation claims under Chapter 2.01.020.
August 18, 2015
nearly all cases, except those which are litigated, there is little discretionary action provided to
the employer under the Labor Code.
With this action, staff seeks to amend the Municipal Code of the City of National City to set
forth specific language related to the settlement authority of such Workers' Compensation claims
related to the injury and disability of City of National City employees and volunteers covered
under the City's Workers' Compensation Plan.
DISCUSSION
Absent a local provision of law or policy related to the authority to resolve Workers'
Compensation Awards, staff has relied on the provisions of City of National Municipal Code
Section 2.01.020, City Manager Powers -Duties, to govern this matter. Section 2.01.020.0 grants
authority to the City Manager "To reject claims and demands against the City and, with the
concurrence of the City Attorney to approve, settle or compromise such claims and demands in
amounts not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars;". As a result, Workers' Compensation
Settlements for Compromise and Release Settlements over twenty-five thousand dollars and all
Stipulations with Request for Award Settlements are currently brought before the City Council
for approval. Because of the confidential nature of such personnel matters, these settlements are
heard in Closed Session.
Given the strict authority of Workers' Compensation Appeals Board and the formulaic award
system as administered by Administrative Law Judges under the authority of the Board, staff seeks
to define local authority accordingly.
1) Compromise and Release Settlements (lump sum payments)
a. City Manager and/or his/her designee may approve up to twenty-five thousand
dollars;
b. City Manager may approve up to fifty thousand dollars for non -discretionary
Compromise and Release Settlements;
c. City Council shall approve all discretionary Compromise and Release Settlements
over twenty-five thousand dollars.
2) Stipulations with Request for Award (with future medical costs — payments over time)
a. City Manager and/or his/her designee may approve up to twenty-five thousand
dollars;
b. City Manager may approve any amount of a non -discretionary Stipulation with
Request for Award;
c. City Council shall approve all discretionary Stipulations with Request for Award
over twenty-five thousand dollars.

RECOMMENDATION
Amend City of National City Municipal Code Section 2.01.020 as follows:
U. To reject claims and demands against the City and, with the concurrence of the City
Attorney to approve, settle or compromise such claims and demands in amounts not to
exceed twenty-five thousand dollars except for the settlement of Workers' Compensation
settlements as provided in this chapter;
X. To approve, settle or compromise Workers' Compensation awards in amounts not to
exceed twenty five thousand dollars for discretionary Comprise and Release Settlements
and Stipulations with Request for Awards, fifty thousand dollars for non -discretionary
Compromise and Release Settlements, and all non -discretionary Stipulations with
Request for Awards; and to delegate that authority.

EXPLANATION:
Subsection (a) of Section 65850.5 of the California Government Code provides that it is the policy of the State to promote
and encourage the installation and use of solar energy systems by limiting obstacles to their use and by minimizing the
permitting costs of such systems. Recent California legislation "AB 2188" mandates that on or before September 30,
2015, every city and county shall adopt an ordinance that creates an expedited, streamlined permitting process for small
residential rooftop solar energy systems. The purpose of this action is to amend Title 15 of the National City Municipal
Code, adding Chapter 15.81 in compliance with this mandate. This action is further supported by City Council actions
including the adoption of resolutions to include properties within the National City jurisdiction in the PACE program to
finance renewable energy generation (August 19, 2014 and August 4, 2015), and the adoption of the 2015-2018 Strategic
Plan element 3.b: Pursue green initiatives and build a sustainable city by implementing the climate action plan and
energy roadmap (April 28, 2015). One way to do this is by the installation of solar photovoltaic systems on existing and
all new single-family residential homes. Solar energy also creates local jobs and economic opportunity; and the City
Council recognizes that rooftop solar energy provides reliable energy and pricing for its residents and businesses. It is
in the interest of the health, welfare and safety of the people of the City of National City to provide an expedited permitting
process to assure the effective deployment of solar technology.

deficiencies in the application and any additional information or documentation required to be
eligible for expedited permit issuance shall be sent to the applicant for resubmission.
D. Upon confirmation by the building official of the application and supporting
documentation being complete and meeting the requirements of the eligibility checklist, the
building official shall administratively approve the application and issue all required permits or
authorizations. Such approval does not authorize an applicant to connect the small residential
rooftop energy system to the local utility provider's electricity grid. The applicant is responsible
for obtaining such approval or permission from the local utility provider.
E. The Chief Building Official may require an applicant to apply for a Minor Use
Permit if the official finds, based on substantial evidence, that the solar energy system could
have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health and safety. Such decisions may be
appealed to the city Planning Commission. If a Minor Use Permit is required, the city may deny
such application if it makes written findings based upon substantive evidence in the record that
the proposed installation would have a specific, adverse impact upon public health or safety and
there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid, as defined, the adverse impact.
Such findings shall include the basis for the rejection of the potential feasible alternative for
preventing the adverse impact. Such decisions may be appealed to the city Planning
Commission.
F. Any condition imposed on an application shall be designed to mitigate the
specific, adverse impact upon health and safety at the lowest possible cost.
G. "A feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact"
includes, but is not limited to, any cost-effective method, condition, or mitigation imposed by the
City on another similarly situated application in a prior successful application for a permit. The
City shall use its best efforts to ensure that the selected method, condition, or mitigation meets
the conditions of subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) of Section 714 of
the Civil Code defining restrictions that do not significantly increase the cost of the system or
decrease its efficiency or specified performance.
H. Only one inspection shall be required and performed by the Building Division,
and may include a consolidated inspection with the Fire Marshall, for small residential rooftop
solar energy systems eligible for expedited review.
I. The inspection shall be done in a timely manner and should include consolidated
inspections.
J. If a small residential rooftop solar energy system fails inspection, a subsequent
inspection is authorized; however, the subsequent inspection need not conform to the
requirements of this section.
Section 3. If any section, subsection, phrase, or clause of this ordinance is for any reason held
to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not
affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares
that it would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, phrase or clause thereof
irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, phrases, or clauses be
declared unconstitutional.
Section 4. The City Council finds in its independent judgment that the proposed amendment to
the Municipal Code is exempt from environmental review as per Section 15308 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, which exempts actions taken by regulatory
agency for protection of the environment where the regulatory process provides procedures for
protection of the environment. None of the exceptions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2
exist. Notwithstanding the exemption as per Section 15308, the City Council further finds that
there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines the activity is exempt from the
provisions of CEQA.

Staff Report
Seeking input and direction from City Council to establish a formal National City
Volunteer Recognition Program.
Background
The City of National City relies on an array of volunteers to serve on boards and
commissions, assist with community projects, and share their time and talent in many
aspects of our day-to-day programs and operations. Recognition helps sustain
volunteers in the roles they serve and can encourage others in the community to look to
the City as a volunteer opportunity.
National City's current Volunteers and Unpaid Interns administrative policy (Instruction
No. 04.09) defines a volunteer as an individual who is donating time to the City without
monetary compensation* for hours worked, including students seeking community
service hours in compliance with school district graduation requirements. (*NCMC
16.06.070 — allows planning commission members to receive compensation in the form
of a stipend, as determined by the City Council. For purposes of the proposed
Volunteer Recognition Program, the members of the Planning Commission are
considered volunteers.)
An episodic volunteer is defined as an individual who is donating less than 20 hours of
time per fiscal year. For students seeking community service hours in compliance with
school district graduation requirements, an episodic volunteer is defined as less than 35
hours of time per fiscal year.
Discussion
The City of National City may have up to 666 volunteers at any given time depending on
a number of factors, including board/commission vacancies, ad -hoc committees,
episodic volunteers, etc. Below is a breakdown of the city's current volunteer base:

Staff research shows that in the 1980s through the early 1990s, National City hosted an
annual appreciation dinner for City Board/Commission Members and their spouses.
However, it appears in 1994, the program was eliminated due to budgetary constraints.
Between 2003 and 2007, the City hosted a few volunteer recognition events that were
once again stopped due to budgetary constraints. The City, however, continued to
budget $5,433 for boards/commissions, with a $200 increase in FY05 and a $9 increase
in FY16 bringing the total budget to $5,550, an amount which remains in the Non -
Departmental budget today.
With economic and budgetary conditions improving, the City Council has discussed a
desire to institute a formal volunteer recognition program.
National City's current practice is to recognize volunteers at the department level.
• National City Public Library: The Library recognizes its volunteers as part of the
Literacy Program. The Library hosts an annual volunteer appreciation event and
invites their general library volunteers, volunteer tutors and learners, and other
literacy agencies' key staff, to share their experience with the
program. Recognition includes certificates of recognition, food and
entertainment, depending on the budget.
• National City Police Department: The Police Department recognizes its
volunteer reserve officers with an annual banquet consisting of awards and
recognitions. The city budgets $1,500 a year toward the event.
• National City Senior Nutrition Center: As funding exists, the Nutrition Center
provides its volunteers with a luncheon or holiday party, and presents certificates
of appreciation.
Volunteer Recognition in the San Diego Region
A survey of countywide cities reveals that only a few cities have established a formal
volunteer recognition program; however, many of the cities recognize volunteers at the
department level. Recognition is most commonly done in conjunction with an annual
reception or lunch, and includes thank you cards from the City Council, a city t-shirt, pin,
or other form of appreciation.
• Carlsbad — The city does not have a formal volunteer recognition program;
however, each year volunteers receive a gift, such as a city pin, t-shirt, coffee
mug, etc. In addition, each department hosts one to two volunteer recognition
parties per year. Board Members and Commissioners are recognized with an
annual dinner.

Volunteer Recognition
Volunteer recognition is an important component of any program. It acknowledges
accomplishments, reinforces efforts, and is a sign of appreciation and tells volunteers
how important they are to the success of the organization and thanking them for the
work they do. Recognition may be done in a number of ways, a few of which are
highlighted below.
Board Members/Commissioners, Ad -Hoc Advisory Committee Members and Registered
Volunteers (277 volunteers):
1. Signature Event. For example, every spring, volunteers could be recognized
at an event in celebration of `National Volunteer Week'.
a. Banquet, luncheon, dinner, reception, or picnic with entertainment
provided by the SWHS or ARTS music ensemble.
The type of event would determine the cost; for example:
a. Type of meal. The Nutrition Center has provided estimates
depending on the format of the event. Breakfast = $8.50; Lunch
= $9.00; Dinner = $10.00; Finger Food = $7.00
b. Event venue. City facility vs. Local venue
c. Number of attendees
1. volunteer only
2. spouse/significant other
3. children & family members
2. Memorabilia w/City Logo.
a. T-shirt, coffee mug, pin, etc.
3. Years of Service. It is important to determine the level of recognition based
on the scope of work provided and the amount of hours donated to the city.
a. 1 year of service— city pin
b. 5 years of service — special gift with city logo
c. 10 years of service — presented with trophy at recognition event
4
d. 15 years of service — lunch with mayor or councilmember
e. 20 years of service — permanent recognition on prominent walkway (or
wall) of Fame (see #4 below)
4. National City Walk (or Wall) of Fame. A Walk (or Wall) of Fame could
recognize and honor residents whose extraordinary contributions garner
community pride. Each recipient could be recognized through a plaque on a
designated location in the city. Possible locations include a designated area
in Kimball Park, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center or City Hall.
5. City Council. Recognize volunteers who leave an assignment and present
them with a certificate, proclamation, plaque or key to the city.
6. Board/Commission Members. Being a member of a city board/commission
requires work, commitment, participation in community events and help shape
city policy. Given the level of responsibility and participation required of being
a board/commission member, the City Council may wish to consider
additional forms of recognition:
a. Business Cards — Members of boards/commissions would be
authorized to use business cards showing their affiliation with their
particular board or commission when used in relation to the duties and
functions of the particular board/commission. Pricing for 250 business
cards is $43.74 for each name. It would be the same price for 100.
b. Name Tag w/City Logo — Approximate cost to issue each member with
a city name tag is approximately $7.00-8.00 each. We currently have
44 board/commission members.
c. Formal Recognition at City Council meeting when members leave a
board/commission, to include presenting the member with a certificate,
proclamation or plaque.
Episodic Volunteer Recognition (approximately 389 volunteers):
1. Announcements during events thanking the volunteers.
2. Thank you cards from the City Council and/or department manager.
3. Certificates for a specific program, project, or event.
4. Certificate for students, including total community service hours donated and
examples of volunteer work performed.

City volunteers contribute time, energy and talent to help achieve the City's vision.
Recognizing volunteers is important if we wish to retain their services, keep them
energized and motivated, and recruit additional volunteers.
Staff Recommendation
Seeking City Council direction to establish a formal volunteer recognition program for
Board Members/Commissioners, Ad -Hoc Advisory Committee Members and registered
volunteers. Staff will return with a proposed volunteer recognition program and
associated costs and budget. Staff recommend recognition for episodic volunteers
originate from the coordinating department/division and be based on available funds
within the department budget.
