RE: AB 647 (Gonzalez, M.) Housing Development Approvals: Residential Units.
Notice of OPPOSITION (As of3/28/25)
Dear Assembly Member Gonzalez,
The City of Anderson must oppose your AB 647 (Gonzalez), which would disregard statemandated local housing elements and force cities to allow up to eight housing units - only one of which is required to be affordable - on lots with an existing single-family home or in an area zoned for eight units or less, without any environmental review or public input.
AB 647 would empower developers to bulldoze nearly any home and replace it with eight new units. Once those units are constructed, Government Code Section 66323(a)( 4) requires local jurisdictions to allow up to an additional eight AD Us on the same lot, bringing the total allowable units to sixteen, while simultaneously ignoring existing height limits, density requirements, and parking standards.
Unfortunately, AB 64 7 ignores local flexibility, decision-making, and community input, which are critical components that, when coupled with ongoing, dedicated funding, can help spur needed housing construction in the state.
AB 647 and other ministerial or by-right housing approval processes fail to recognize the extensive public engagement and costs associated with developing and adopting zoning ordinances and state-mandated housing elements that are certified by the California City Manager's Office

2025-2026 Capital Improvement Planning
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Backa:round
Tonight, the City Council will review stafrs recommended Capital Improvement Plan for the coming five-year period. This five-year plan is updated each year and includes our projections for development fee revenues and plans for construction of needed infrastructure.
Capital Improvement Plannina:
Each spring, the City Manager develops a proposed annual update of the City Council's adopted Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan. As part of the CIP development process, staff has updated our development projections for the next five years and completed estimates of anticipated development fee revenues and current fund balances. In developing CIP recommendations, management considers growth and development projections, areas of greatest need, and, most importantly, the City Council's adopted priority projects for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
ITEM 6.6b PAGE 1/4 5/20/2025
The CIP only includes new projects to begin in future years; the budget for projects that are currently underway will roll forward until they are complete.
In addition, as it is difficult to project revenues and project needs four or five years from now, the proposed projects and schedules should be considered tentative in the later years.
The Planning Commission has adopted a resolution advising the City Council of the conformity of the proposed Capital Improvement Plan with the General Plan.
The City Council will be asked to adopt the final CIP, along with the rest of the 2025-2026 budget, after a public hearing in June 2025.
Corporation Yard and Police Facility: Expansion Fund (108) Revenues in the fund are set aside for improvements and expansion of two city facilities:
the Corp Yard on Barney Street and the Police Department on North Street. FY 2025/26 does not include any additional funding for preconstruction activities (Police Building).
Revenues in the fiscal year 2024-2025 are projected at $57,700. The current reserve for this fund is approximately $645,492.
Drainage Capital Improvement Fund (109)
The Drainage Capital Improvement fund is used for capital improvements to citywide drainage, including Tormey Drain. Although we show funding for miscellaneous minor projects in the CIP, our primary area of focus will continue to be Tormey Drain. Tormey Drain needs clearing and maintenance in several sections; however, this work cannot be completed until permitting is complete. FY 2025/26 includes $85,000 for Tormey Drain Maintenance. Additionally, $52,000 is budgeted for miscellaneous minor drainage improvements in FY 2025/2026. Revenues are projected at $114,500 in 2024-2025. The current reserve in this fund is approximately $958,016.
Parks Capital Improvement Fund (110)
The Parks Capital Improvement Fund will never have sufficient revenues to finance significant improvements to our park system, and, as such, the fund is typically used for local matches for grants. The Anderson River Park Conceptual Master Plan update was completed in 2017. Potential projects outlined in the master plan include parking/lighting improvements, trail improvements, and new or improved sports fields at Anderson River Park. Playground refurbishment and amphitheater upgrades are dependent on grants.
Resurfacing the tennis court area, repaving the River Splash parking lot and entrance gates to Anderson River Park, and replacing the playground near River Splash. For FY 2024/2025, there are no improvement plans in the budget. Currently, there are no reserves in this fund.
Wastewater Capital Improvement Fund (111)
Out of this fund, the City continues to pay for the 2007 Wastewater Improvement bonds, which allowed for projects, such as the inflow and infiltration project on Cobblestone Loop ITEM 6.6b PAGE 2/4 5/20/2025
# 2. Anticipating that we will be seeking either grant or loan funds to extend sewer to the Ox Yoke area, staff believes that environmental clearance and right-of-way acquisition for this important project will not occur until the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The South Barney Lift Station Project, funded in the 2021/2022 FY, has been completed. It should be noted that these South Barney Sewer Projects are part of the City's master plan and are designed to serve a large geographical area. Additional trunk line capacity improvements will be needed in the future. Staff are working in two parallel directions to avoid capacity constraints: Phase 2 is in progress and additional allocations are proposed for future fiscal years. Revenues are projected at $146,545 in 2024-2025. Current reserves are approximately $582,410.
Water Capital Improvement Fund (112)
A short history recap: during the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 fiscal years, approximately $700,000 was spent on two projects: the extension of a water main under Interstate S and the construction of a booster pump to serve the Vineyards and Pleasant Hills project area.
The Water Capital Improvement Fund did not have sufficient cash for these projects at the time, and as allowed by state law, the Council approved a loan from the Drainage Capital Fund to help finance these projects. At the time of the original loan, the City anticipated that the Vineyards at Anderson Community Facilities District (CFD) would issue bonds to reimburse the City for the booster pump project. However, the City Council has determined that the CFD will not be formed, and so no reimbursements will be made to the City from that source. Cash balances in this fund are expected to remain in a deficit position; as such, no projects are planned for any time during this planning period. Although the Water Capital Improvement Fund currently lacks the capital to fund new projects, staff is proceeding to seek grant funding for improvement projects where possible and recently sought grant funds from the State to replace the aging Anderson Heights Water Storage Reservoir. For FY 2024/2025, $10,000 has been allocated to update the Water Master Plan.
Revenues are projected at $316,198 in the 2024-2025 fiscal year, which includes approximately $269,000 in grant funding. As mentioned above, there is no reserve in this fund.
Traffic Capital Improvement Fund (113)
The Traffic Capital Improvement Fund allocates funding for traffic enhancements at specific locations. For instance, these funds will be utilized to upgrade intersections with signals or widen roads that have experienced an increase in traffic volume. The fund includes $50,000 for an update to the City's Traffic Impact Fee Program, which is scheduled for FY 2026/27. Additionally, it includes $510,000 for the Gateway Drive Extension-PSE to extend Gateway Drive across Anderson Creek to Deschutes Road in FY 2025/2026, depending on development. Also earmarked for FY 2024/2025 is $800,000 for the McMurray Drive Reconstruction project. Revenues are projected to be $49,000 in the fiscal year 2024-2025. The current reserve in this fund is approximately $1,490,849.
Deschutes Interchange Project (115)
This fund was established to collect development fees for improving the Deschutes Interchange: Construction of the eastside roundabout and new northbound off-ramp is complete. The west side improvements (Phase 2) will be constructed based on traffic ITEM 6.6b PAGE 3/4 5/20/2025
needs. It is currently forecasted to be more than ten years out. Revenues in 2024-2025 are projected at $18,000. Current reserves in this fund are approximately $265,628.
Shastec Project Area (331)
The Anderson Redevelopment Agency partnered with the City of Redding and Shasta County to form the Shastec Redevelopment Project Area in 1996. All Redevelopment Agencies were dissolved as of February 1, 2012. These are again, remaining funds that are required for use on an identified project. Curb, Gutter, Sidewalk on the north side of Riverside Drive to 1-5. The sidewalk will be constructed on the north side of the road. This project is projected to begin and be completed in the 2025-2026 fiscal year. Again, once this project is complete this fund will be closed. The reserve balance in this fund is $541,206.

!SUBJECT
Public Hearing - Wastewater User Charges
I RECOMMENDATION
The Public Works Director recommends that the City Council:
1. Receive a presentation
2. Conduct a Public Hearing:
3. Adopt a resolution increasing sewer user charges by approximately 160% effective July 1, 2025 then by 7% effective July 1, 2026, through July 1, 2029. !FISCAL IMPACT
Increased rate-payer revenue will fund the cost of service and maintain a reserve fund for emergencies and unforeseen circumstances.
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
In 1998 the City conducted its first sewer rate study to assess the sewer user fee rates after operating losses in the Wastewater Enterprise Fund. Since 1998, the City has proposed sewer user rate increases of a modest nature by increasing monthly flat rate charges and additional charges based on each 100 cu. foot of water consumed. These flat rate charges range between 2% to 3% per cycle. In 2014, this ideology shifted from 3% to 5% for 2014 and 2015. Over the last 27 years, the City has only proposed a rate increase five times.
ITEM 7.0 PAGE1 5/20/2025
Consumers of the City's sewer services are charged user fees to maintain our sewer system.
Each year, staff analyzes the revenues and expenditures in the Wastewater Enterprise Fund, comparing the service's costs with user revenues. To keep up with inflationary costs, the City typically imposes small increases in user fees each year. The last rate increase was done in 2014, with an increase of 5% for 2014 and 2015.
For the fiscal year 2015, the wastewater enterprise fund started with a reserve balance of $7,203,170, and in 2015, there was a decrease in reserves of $1,123,273. In fiscal year 2020, there was a decrease in reserves of $542,991; again, in the fiscal year 2022, there was a decrease in reserves of $170,071. In the fiscal year 2024, there was a decrease in reserves of $2,471,357. Expenditures continue to outpace revenues in the wastewater fund, leaving an approximate reserve balance of $4,393,760 at the beginning of the fiscal year 2024/2025.
Much like the General Fund reserve, having a healthy reserve in the wastewater enterprise fund is essential. Traditionally, the reserve is used for planned and unexpected sewer infrastructure repairs. The sewer system comprises a wastewater treatment plant, over 50 miles of sewer lines, and five municipal lift stations. An unexpected repair on any of the many sewer system components could quickly deplete the reserves in the wastewater enterprise fund.
The City Wastewater Department faces a significant challenge in repamng aging infrastructure that often breaks down, resulting in sewer backups and failures. However, constantly responding to such issues leaves little time to focus on preventing future occurrences that would extend the lifespan of the sewer system.
There are several key reasons why operating costs have quickly outpaced the rate increases implemented in the past. Utility rates, unfunded state mandates, and aging sewer lines are all significant factors that impact rates.
In the past, the City has upgraded the pumps and motors to make them as energy-efficient as possible, but increased energy costs have offset the decrease in energy usage. The wastewater treatment plant has not received significant upgrades since 1989. Additionally, the majority of the needed projects identified in the 2007 Master Sewer Plan for the collection system have not been completed.
Every year, new mandates are introduced for increased testing and reporting. The number of compounds tested for and the frequency of tests have continued to rise. Moving forward, the previously stated costs are expected to continue increasing.
As stated, small rate increases have occurred regularly to keep up with rising costs. These rate increases were generally determined by City staff reviewing revenue versus expenditures and making an educated estimate of future expenses.
The City of Anderson strives to maintain our affordable sewer rates. Our sewer service remains a tremendous value for our residents. A rate increase is needed to maintain a sustainable sewer utility for our citizens.
ITEM 7.0 PAGE2 5/20/2025
Lechowicz + Tseng Municipal Consultants reported their draft findings and report to the City Council as a regular agenda item on February 18, 2025. No comments from the public were received.
In November 1996, California voters approved Proposition 2018, the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which added Articles 13C and 13D to the California Constitution. Water rates/revenues must:
• Be based on the reasonable cost of services.
• Costs must be proportionally recovered based on how customers take services. • Only be used for the wastewater utility.
The procedural requirements to raise the wastewater rates include:
• Conducting a rate study.
• Mailing notices to property owners (A protest form will be included in the mailer). • Tally the number of protests.
• Hold a public hearing a minimum of 45 days after the notices are mailed. • Council vote. Rates cannot be adopted if more than 50% of ratepayers submit written protests.
The proposal before the council is to increase wastewater rates by approximately 160% for 2025, followed by a 7% increase for the next four years. • The first increase is proposed to be effective on July 1, 2025. • Future rate increases are proposed to be effective on July 1 of each year through July 1, 2029.
Should the Council agree with this recommendation, the resolution shown in Attachment 3 will implement the changes.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO INCREASE SEWER SERVICE FEES Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 5:30 pm
Dear Sewer Customer:
The Anderson City Council will consider the adoption of increases in the City's sewer service fees for the next five years. As described below, the City Council will hold a Public Hearing on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 5:30 pm to consider the proposed rate increases.
Why is a sewer rate increase needed?
The City is committed to providing the highest quality sewer utility services at the lowest possible rates for our customers. To meet this commitment, the City monitors the cost of providing sewer services, including the infrastructure needs, programs, and operations and maintenance costs of the City's sewer services. We strive to look for ways to reduce costs, thus keeping rates for our users as low as possible.
As an enterprise fund, the Sewer Fund is separate and distinct from the City's General Fund ancl relies entirely on rate revenues to fund its operations. Sewer operations are not funded by property tax or any other tax revenue.
The last sewer rate increase was ten years ago in 2015. Past sewer rate increases have been modest at
5.0% or less to cover operating cost inflation. However, our current rates will no longer sustain the quality service you have come to expect. The Sewer Fund will continue to operate in a deficit ifrates are not adjusted because our costs to provide you with sewer service have continued to increase.
In addition to significant increases in utility and regulatory costs to meet State compliance mandates, the City needs to replace significant portions of the City's aging sewer treatment, collection, and disposal facilities which have not been updated in over 40 years. Over the next five years, the City proposes to spend $11.0 million in capital projects to rehabilitate equipment and other sewer system infrastructure.
The City engaged an independent rate consultant who reviewed the sewer utility's cost of providing service to determine appropriate adjustments to the sewer service fees. The proposed rates are based on the reasonable cost of providing service and do not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to each parcel. Sewer service fee increases are necessary to: (a) enable the City to recover current and projected costs of operations and maintenance; (b) pay existing debt service obligations; (c) fund capital infrastructure maintenance needed to repair the aging sewer system; (d) maintain operational and financial stability; and (e) avoid further depletion of reserves.
Sewer Service Fees
The City's sewer service fees are comprised of two components: ( 1) a flat monthly Base Charge; and (2) a Flow Charge imposed for each one hundred cubic foot of water consumed during the winter months (October through March). One hundred cubic foot (CCF) of water is equivalent to 748 gallons. The Flow Charge is determined on the basis of each property owner's water use during the winter months because individual sanitary sewer flows are not metered; water consumption during the winter best reflects actual flows into the sanitary sewer system when outdoor water use is least likely to occur. Sewer service fees are billed annually on the property tax roll.
On July I, 2025, the Base Rate is proposed to increase from $22.44 to $58.39 per month, and the Flow Charge is proposed to increase from $1.38 per CCF to $3.61 per CCF. After the initial increase, sewer service fees are proposed to increase by 7.0% each year beginning on July l, 2026, through July 1, 2029.
The current and proposed rates for the City's sewer service fees are set forth in the following table.

The monthly sewer bill is proposed to increase from $29.34 per month to $76.44 per month on July 1, 2025. Bill impacts for each customer will depend on actual water consumption during the winter months of October through March .

The City Council will hold a Public Hearing on Tuesday, May 20, 2025 at 5:30 pm in the City Council Chambers, which is located on the third floor of City Hall located at 1887 Howard Street, Anderson, CA, to consider the proposed recommendations for the rate increases to the City's sewer service fees.
Any property owner of a parcel upon which the sewer service fees will be imposed and/or any tenant directly responsible for the payment of sewer service fees (i.e., a customer of record) may submit a written protest to the proposed increases to the City's sewer service fees. However, only one protest will be counted per identified parcel.
All written protests MUST include ALL of the following to be counted:
I. State that the identified property owner or customer of record is in opposition to the proposed increases;
2. Provide the location of the identified parcel (by assessor's parcel number or street address);
3. Include the name and signature of the property owner or customer of record submitting the protest.
Written protests mav be submitted bv:
1. Mail to: City Clerk Christy White, 1887 Howard Street, Anderson, CA, 96007; or
2. In-person delivery during City business hours at 1887 Howard Street, Anderson, CA, 96007;or
3. At the Public Hearing on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 5:30 pm.
For your convenience, you may fill out and submit the enclosed protest form and return it to City Clerk Christy White at the above address. Regardless of how the written protest is submitted, it must be received by the City prior to the conclusion of the public comment portion of the Public Hearing (date and time noted above). Any protest submitted via e-mail or other electronic means will not be accepted. Please identify on the front of the envelope for any written protest, whether mailed or submitted in person to the City Clerk, that the enclosed protest is for the Public Hearing on the Proposed Sewer Service Fees.
The City Council will hear and consider all written and oral protests to the proposed rate increases at the Public Hearing. Oral comments at the Public Hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest. Upon the conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Council will consider the adoption of the proposed increases in rates for sewer services as noted in this letter. If a majority of property owners or customers ofrecord do not protest the proposed increase, the City Council will have the authority to impose the proposed rates. If adopted, the proposed rates for the sewer service fees will be in effect beginning July I, 2025.
Pursuant to California Government Code 53759, there is a 120-day statute oflimitations for challenging any new, increased, or extended fee adopted, modified, or amended by the City of Anderson. All written 3 objections must be submitted before the end of the public hearing as stated above and a failure to timely object in writing bars any right to challenge that fee or assessment through a legal proceeding.
If you have any questions about this proposal, the Public Works Department can be reached at (530) 378-6641 during nonnal business hours. A complete copy of the consultant's report to the City Council will be available on our website at www.ci.anderson.ca.us or in person in the City Clerk's Office at City Hall 72 hours prior to the scheduled Public Hearing.
The City of Anderson is committed to providing quality services at a reasonable cost. We will continue to meet the strict State standards for sewer treatment and disposal along with providing excellent customer service.
Sincerely,
Joey Forseth-Deshais
City Manager

,Q , DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO
• Wastewater Fund has 3 outstanding debt obligations:
J 2001 USDA Revenue Bonds for $2,076,000
• 2001 Riverside COPs for $232,570
• 2007 CSCDA Revenue Bonds for $1.GM
• Total annual debt service payments = $228,000
• Coverage ratio is a financial measure of an agency's ability to repay outstanding debt
• Ratio requires that annual water net revenues (gross revenues less O&M expenses) must be at least 1.25 times the combined annual debt service payments on all parity obligations
Calendar Year 2021 2022 2023 2024
Debt Service Coverage Ratio -0.53 -0.74 -2.66 -3.81
• Failure to meet the coverage ratio on an annual basis is considered to be technical default
• Could lead to a rating downgrade and may impact the City's ability to obtain additional debt funding in the future lll7il
,Q, WASTEWATER CIP (FY2026 - 2030)
• Wastewater treatment plant has not received significant upgrades since 1989 ■ Collection system is comprised of aging infrastructure that often breaks down, resulting in sewer backups and failures
■ City has upgraded the pumps and motors to make them as energy-efficient as possible, but increased energy costs have offset the decrease in energy usage. ■ The majority of the needed projects identified in the 2007 Master Sewer Plan for the collection system have not been completed
• Proposed rates will pay for $17.7 million in capital projects, including an updated Master Sewer Plan, replacing sewer pipelines, upgrading electrical equipment, new pressure filter, and vehicle replacements ■ All projects will be cash-funded. No grant or loan funding. 11 ni

ITEM 8.2 PAGE1 5/20/2025
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
In recent years, the popularity of food trucks has experienced substantial growth. Food trucks have become an integral component of community events, such as Mosquito Serenade, Food Truck or Treat, and Christmas in Anderson, among others. Currently, the City lacks specific regulations governing food trucks and relies on past practices that prohibit their operation outside of City events or special events.
On March 18, 2025, the City Council provided staff with direction in connection with the regulation of food trucks in the City of Anderson. Per that direction, food trucks would be able to operate within the City of Anderson through the special event permit process. Effectively, food trucks can vend during special events, following submittal and approval of a special event permit. The City Attorney was directed to solidify this process in an ordinance.
Included with this staff report is the proposed ordinance for adoption, consisting of two parts.
The first is the creation of Chapter 10.70, titled "Regulation of Food Trucks." Per this chapter, a food truck vendor can operate in the City of Anderson if (1) they have obtained a special event permit for vending on public property or the public right of way, or (2) they have obtained a private food truck permit to vend on private property. Under both scenarios, the food truck vendor must obtain a business license from the city, a health permit from the Shasta County Health Officer, and shall operate no more than zoo.feet from a readily available toilet and hand washing facility.
For the private food truck event permit, the food vendors can operate on private property for events ranging from birthday to weddings to more commercially minded occasions like business grand openings or sales events. Each event can be up to eight (8) hours per day for a period of three (3) days. Additionally, the food truck vendor will also have an hour before operating and an hour after operating, which will not be counted towards the 8 hour total. This time can be used for set up or break down of the food truck operations. Each location will be limited to two private events per year, and the vendor will be limited to six private events per year.
The second component to the ordinance is the amendment of the special event permit. While the private food truck event permit allows food truck operations on private property, the special event permit allows private events to be held on public property, such as the Anderson River Park, Volante Park, or even portions of downtown Anderson. The amendments to the existing special event permit code section require the applicant to provide all information for the food truck vendor, and clarify that use of a city right of way cannot impact the actual use of that property.
Any violations of the proposed ordinance may result in administrative citations pursuant to Chapter 1.22 of the Anderson Municipal Code.

2025-2027 Budget Workshop - Expenditures
I DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
General Overview
Tonight's workshop will present historical expenditures and projections broken out by fund for the Council to gain a clear understanding of what they are derived from and begin to consider for the 2025-2027 budget cycle. In June, staff will return with final budget numbers for the Council to consider for approval and conduct a public hearing to adopt the budget for 2025-2027.
General Fund Expenditures
The General Fund is the City's largest operating fund, providing essential resources for public safety and the City's general functions. Public Safety represents the main expense for the General Fund. Other departments included in this fund are building, planning, parks and recreation, city council, city manager, city clerk, and finance.
As to revenues, inflation has caused significant changes to expenditures. While revenues are increasing, the costs of goods are increasing as well. Staff have continued to be conservative in estimates because of inflation. Total General fund expenditures for 2024-2025 were 1 ITEM W.S.1 5/20/2025
estimated at $11,515,735. In comparison to the 2023-2024 fiscal year, the total General Fund expenditure actuals of $13,612,934 exhibit that we worked to stay conservative in 2024/25.
For the 2025/26 & 2026/27 fiscal years, we are holding to conservative expenditure forecasting of $12,454,132 & 13,076,838, respectively, as the economy remains inflated. In May or June of 2026, staff will reevaluate the budget and economic factors to make any amendments to the 2026/27 budget deemed necessary.
Non-General Funds
The City uses several operating funds to account for different operational needs. We have water and wastewater funds, internal service funds, gas tax funds, and others.
Water and Wastewater Funds
Expenditures in the Water fund are estimated to be $2,996,511 for 2025/26, compared to $2,184,618 for 2024/25. It is planned to continue purchasing the needed endpoints and registers in the upcoming fiscal year.
Expenditures in the sewer fund are estimated to be $2,971,173 for 2025/26, compared to $2,425,390 for 2024/25, and are closely approaching that figure.
Internal Service Funds
Internal service funds (ISF) are intended for another department to provide services within the city on a cost reimbursement basis, which allows the expenses incurred to be allocated on a shared cost basis assessed through individual departments' use of said service.
The City of Anderson ISF departments include Public Works, Vehicle Maintenance, Government Building, Customer Service, Computer Services, Workers' Compensation, and Liability Insurance.
During our 2022/2023 annual audit, our auditing firm directed us to implement a payment plan to bring the six out of seven ISFs out of the deficits they have held for over 10 years. The net deficit in these funds at FYE 2023/24 was $2,161,709.
Conclusion
Expenditures are increasing due to inflation and the need for more practical budgeting figures. Expenses will occur on a necessity basis, while many costs, such as utilities, are beyond our control. Moreover, we are committed to restoring our ISFs to positive fund balances. Staff will continue to actively monitor both revenues and expenditures to make any necessary adjustments should the state of the economy change.
