City of Angels Council Meeting
FEBRUARY 15, 2022 CONSENT AGENDA 8. B
Authorize a Reallocation of Funds from Grit Removal Project and Stream Testing Budget to the Wastewater Testing Budget, Chris O’Flinn, Public Works DATE February 15, 2022
TO City Council
FROM Chris O’Flinn, Public Works Superintendant
RE: REALLOCATE FUNDS FROM GRIT REMOVAL PROJECT AND STREAM TESTING BUDGET TO THE WASTEWATER
TESTING BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the reallocation of funds ($20,000) from the Grit Removal project (310-8000-52155) and ($12,000) from the Stream Testing Budget (300-8000-50362) to the Wastewater Testing Budget (300-8000-50163).
BACKGROUND
The wastewater treatment plant stream discharge permit has to be renewed every five years. The State of California requires priority pollutant sampling for three consecutive months during discharge season as part of the renewal process. This extra sampling has put the wastewater testing budget $20,708 dollars over budget.
DISCUSSION
Staff requests reallocating funds from the grit removal project and the stream testing budget to the wastewater testing budget.
The grit removal project has been put on hold due to more pressing projects (sewer line replacement projects).
These funds ($20,000) will not be used this year. The stream testing budget ($12,000) also will not be used this year due to the fact we will not be discharging effluent to Angels Creek. Staff would like to use these unused funds to cover the deficit in the wastewater testing budget so there is no increase to the budget.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No Increase to budget.

STAFF REPORT FOR THE CITY OF ANGELS
FEBRUARY 7, 2022
This report serves to inform the City Council and Chief Administrative Officer of the status of the Calaveras Visitors Bureau and Angels Camp Museum.
THE ANGELS CAMP MUSEUM
WHERE WE WERE AND HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR:
The Calaveras Visitors Bureau went into partnership with the City to take over the operations of the Museum in July 2020.
At that time the City was not sure they would be able to open the Museum due to the ramifications of Covid 19 and limited funds.
The Museum is the main “attraction” in Angels Camp. It made perfect sense for the CVB and Museum to join forces.
The CVB saw the partnership as an opportunity to not only keep the Museum open but enable it to be open seven days a week.
The Museum has been open seven days a week since May 2021.
We want to be known as a constant – You can always rely on sending someone to the Museum.
You know We’ll be Here.
Since the CVB has taken over the Museum operations we have:
Created New Branding.
Created and Purchased New Signage.
Reorganized the New Archive Room and Rearranged the Carriage House.
Assumed all of the Old Timer’s Museum artifacts from Murphys, and Assimilated Them in Our Collection
Added Two Swamp Coolers to the Pole Barn, to Keep it Open During the Summer Months.
New Parking area up Top with Gravel.
Front Roofing Redone in Tin.
Painted the Main Building – Front and Street Facing Side.
New Back Staircase with Handrails, Redesigned and built.
New Mineral Display, with Cases and Lighting.
Concrete pad added to Support the Display in the Pole Barn.
Painted and Constructed Door for the Little Firehouse.
Cleared out and organized the Back Half of the Pole Barn.
Maintenance on all Current Displays.
Created the New Frog Jumping Exhibit - Both Inside and Out with the Grant we Received From the Calaveras Community Foundation.
Created New Agriculture and Ranching Displays.
Cleaned Out and Organized the Swamp Room, Garage and Back of Pole Barn Area.
Thanks to DAC for Their Help With Work Days and Coordinating Dumpsters.
Maintained and Redoing the Landscaping.
Created Free Eductaional Field Trips for Calaveras County School Children.
Worked with the Angels Camp Foundation.
Worked with the Old Timers Museum Foundation.
Staffed the Museum with Employees and Docents.
Facilitated the Ore Car Placement in Downtown Angels.
And Total Bonus - We Won ACBA’s Light Up The Night contest!
WHERE WE CURRENTLY ARE AND WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO BE:
The Museum Continues to Go from Strength to Strength.
We are on Target to Reach our Financial Goal by the end of the Fiscal Year.
We are Working on Two New Grants from the CCF– The Renovation of the Firehouse and Calaveras Voices, A Compilation of Oral Histories Recorded on Video of a Group of our Community Elders. These interviews will be cut into a film and projected for our community.
We continue to develop new items for the gift shop and still concentrate on Calaveras made products.
We are in the process of hiring a new CVB/ Museum Employee.
We are actively protecting and enhancing our history for the enjoyment and education of our locals and visitors alike. We are on an upward trajectory with both admissions and enthusiasm.
Our goal is to maintain the momentum and get more local engagement.
There is a laundry list of items we would like to fix, improve and develop. We are confident that with our continued commitment we will accomplish our goals this year.
They include:
Working with the Fairgrounds (and DAC) for
The Frog Jump Exhibit Grand Opening on April 30th.
Repair our Paths at the Bottom of the Property.
Look into Moving the Little White House on the Old Swendeman Property.
An Electric Gate Installed at the top of the Property.
Refurbish the Model Railroad and make it Operational at the Back of the Pole Barn.
We need to Complete the Signage in the New Exhibits in the Pole Barn.
We would like to Update our Security Cameras and Their Coverage of the Museum..
Improvement of our Parking Area Fencing.
Completely Redoing the Watering System.
Our goal is to run the Museum as a more self-sufficient business. Only going to the City for help when it’s absolutely necessary, as with the recent removal of the dangerous large trees.
We would like the opportunity to show the Council and CAO all of the updates first-hand. Please drop by the Museum any time. We’re open from 10am-4pm Everyday.
We Look Forward to Seeing You Here!
THE CALAVERAS VISITORS BUREAU
WHERE WE WERE AND HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR:
The CVB has had a challenging time over the past two years during the course of the pandemic.
It’s been an unprecedented time for all destination marketing organizations. We have navigated this time with the goal of respecting all of the CDC and County/City guidelines throughout the past two years. We have bridged the delicate balance between having visitors in the county whilst respecting our locals health concerns.
The pandemic has opened our area to a whole new group of visitors. We have been discovered by people who would not normally have ventured into our area. People want wide open spaces where they feel safe. We tick all the boxes and see that there’s a steady influx of returning visitors.
Our goal for this next year is to continue to spend our marketing dollars wisely. Our focus will be on local events which currently rates as the number one draw on our website. People looking for things to do whilst in the area.
We have focused our efforts a lot more in Sacramento where we found that 49% of our visitors that view our website are from.
We have expanded our office in a partnership with the Calaveras Winegrape Alliance.
We share office space in Murphys so we can tell visitors what else there is to do in the area.
WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO BE:
We are right target with where we should be at the moment. Our TOT is doing really well, both in the City and County. We have honed our marketing to include more in county representation, and I would like to start looking at creating more visitor friendly infrastructure.
Which leads us to being adamant about better wayfaring signs for our visitors. We’d like to recreate the ore car motif at the entrances to the county and put a substantial sign in keeping with that theme at the Intersection of Highway 4 &49 that indicates that Historic Downtown Angels Camp is to the right. Visitors stopping at that intersection don’t know that we exist unless they magically decide to turn right.
I look forward to your thoughts.
Thank You For Your Time and Support.
Best,
THE CVB/MUSEUM TEAM

RE: Engineering Status Report
Roadway Projects:
SR 49 Pedestrian and Bike Lane Infill
Description: Construction of sidewalk and bike lanes, including widening, curb and gutter, drainage and street light relocations, on SR- 49 at 1) east side between Bragg Street and Stanislaus Avenue and 2) west side between SR 4 and Stockton Road.
Schedule: Construction is complete and the Notice of Completion was recorded on 9/29/21. Preparing closeout paperwork and final invoice. Closeout paperwork (for federal funds for PE) is due (drop dead date) 04/01/2022.
Budget (as of 11/26/2021):
Construction Funding Funding Amount Budget Spent Budget Remaining State ATP $1,820,000 $1,820,000 $0
Local RSTP (from CCOG) $ 345,920 $ 302,491.66 $43,428.34 Total $2,165,920 $2,122,491.66 $43,428.34
Contracts: Drake Haglan (now Dewberry Engineering) provided design services (under separate contract) which are completed. The construction contract with George Reed, Inc. is completed.
Construction phase engineering services were provided by Dewberry Engineers under the City Engineering Services Contract, Task Order #9, which will be completed with the closeout paperwork and audit. Dewberry’s contract for City Engineering Contract currently ends 6/30/2022.
Risks, Issues, Concerns:
• Caltrans is in the process of conducting an audit of the project finances. • Near the beginning of the project, Caltrans offered that they would relinquish the right of way from the back of curb within the project limits. City Council agreed to accept the right of way at the end of the project on 12/3/2019. The relinquishment map is at Caltrans for review. After concurrence, the City will need to accept the right of way.
Murphys Grade Road Pedestrian Improvements
Description: Construction of sidewalks, including widening, curb and gutter, drainage and street lights, on Murphys Grade Road and Demarest Street. Project is in construction, approximately 80% complete.
Schedule: The construction contract with FBD Vanguard is 80 working days with an additional 21 days of change order work which extends the contract to December 17th. Additional water line and pavement rehabilitation currently being considered would add additional working days. Project end date is 12/31/2023 with construction funds expiring (drop dead date) 4/1/2026.
Contracts: Drake Haglan (now Dewberry Engineering) provided design services (under separate contract) which are completed. Construction phase engineering services were provided by Dewberry Engineers under the City Engineering Services Contract, Task Order #10. After start of project, FHWA required a separate contract for construction management and inspection.

Total $2,450,000
Risks, Issues, Concerns:
• A mid construction audit by Caltrans in January went well with no findings of deficient delivery. • Local funds have been expended. It is likely that CCOG will support moving the remaining funds from the SR49 Sidewalk Project, if needed (and possibly additional funds if required). • On January 4th the council approved a contract change order for replacement of an 8” water line for $325,171. Work has begun on the water line on the north side of the street. • Change orders should go to City Council for approval. • With the concern from FHWA opining that the City is not able to increase the federal contract amount with task orders on the City Engineering Contract (On-Call), it is strongly recommended that a new City Engineering Contract be procured.
Roadway Safety Sign Audit
Description: Replacement of 250-280 signs that do not meet retroreflectivity requirements (on existing poles). Where possible, street name signs will be mounted on the same pole as the stop sign per City standard to reduce driver confusion and remaining empty pole removed.

Planning Commission
Membership
Commissioner Dean Linton resigned prior to the January 2022 meeting. The City Clerk posted a notice of vacancy soliciting applications through February 4, 2022. The City Council is scheduled to interview Planning Commissioners at its February 15, 2022, meeting.
Agendas
The January Planning Commission was held 1/13/22. The Commission approved resolutions of intent to:
• Amend Chapter 17.31 Commercial: Planned Development (C:PD and CH:PD) and Public Service (PS:PD) District to be renamed to reflect their applicability to Greenhorn Creek and reformatted for code consistency. Relocate provisions related to the Public Service: Planned Development Combining District to Chapter 17.40 where applicable.
• Amend Chapter 17.40 OS-PD and OSG-PD Open Space Districts to eliminate the OS-PD zone and rename it the Greenhorn Creek Golf Course District (GHG-GC) and incorporate the Public Service (PS:PD) provisions of Chapter 17.31 as they relate to Greenhorn Creek.
• Create a new Chapter 17.41 the Open Space (OS) Zoning District for consistency with the General Plan. • Update and comprehensively revise Chapter 17.36 Public Services (PS) District to be renamed the Public (P) 2 zoning district to include a provision allowing housing in the Public Zoning District and create a new Chapter
17.36, the Quasi-Public (QP) Zoning District establishing Quasi-Public Uses as identified in the General Plan. • Amend Chapter 17.49 Mining Combining (MN) District to become the Resources Management Combining District (:RM) for consistency with the general plan.
Planning Committee
No Planning Committee meetings were held.
The February Planning Commission will be held 2/10/22. The Commission anticipates considering resolutions of intent to:
• Comprehensively revise Angels Municipal Code Chapter 17.85 (Planning Commission Procedures) including the addition of provisions to create a Sign Review Committee to facilitate sign review in the Historical Commercial District.
• Add a new Section 17.06.210 to Codify the State’s Housing Accountability Act Requirements and incorporate the required findings and restrictions against denial of affordable housing projects to ensure compliance with the Housing Accountability Act [CA Government Code 65589.5(d) 1-5]. • Amend Chapter 17.09 to define “Low Barrier Navigation Center” in compliance with state law and amend the applicable zoning districts to establish it as a use, by right, in areas zoned for mixed uses and non-residential zones permitting multi-family uses subject to those requirements allowed under state law.
• Amend Chapter 16.12 to incorporate Parcel and/ or Subdivision Map Findings Related to Fire Protection.
New signs for new businesses in the historic district may also be considered at the Commission subject to receipt of applications from notified businesses.
The Planning Commission anticipates reviewing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Measures at its March 9th meeting and finalizing code amendments pursuant to SB2 before commencing property rezones.
Current Planning/Building Projects
• Habitat for Humanity – The agency has formally requested a pre-submittal meeting with Planning, Engineering, Building and Public works to review pre-construction submittals. As previously noted, the state officially awarded Habitat for Humanity an infill and infrastructure grant for more than $5 million in support of the 107 units of workforce housing along Copello approved by the City Council. Staff anticipates that the agency will commence infrastructure installation by the end of the calendar year. 3 • Phase II Frog Jump Plaza/Foundry Lane Access from SR 4 – The traffic study to allow access from SR 4 to Foundry Lane was completed and submitted to Caltrans for review. Once accepted, Caltrans will prepare an appraisal and act on the proposed new encroachment of Foundry Lane off SR 4 paving the way for the new Foundry Lane connection between SR 4 and SR 49 at the north end of the City. • Utica Hotel. The City received building plans to improve a kitchen at the Miner’s Lounge. A building permit was issued in January for the new kitchen. As previously reported, the landowners hired Aspen Street Architects to facilitate construction of the remainder of the building. Staff finalized parking requirements for the amended plans that have removed the third-floor addition. • MACT Museum. The application for a new Native American museum with traditional roundhouse adjacent to the existing MACT building is progressing. A traffic has been reviewed by Caltrans and comments have been submitted. A response to the Caltrans traffic study comments is pending. Amended plans were submitted and are undergoing review. The item is expected to go before the Planning Commission for consideration in the next few months. Staff anticipates submitting a request to Council for an extended long-term lease for parking on the existing City/MACT leased parking at 200 Monte Verda (Police Dpt., City Hall, planned Safety Campus).
• James B. Dalton/Mark Twain Medical Center. An administrative site plan review is being processed to expand the parking area at 590 Stanislaus Avenue. Dewberry (City Engineering firm) was hired to undertake the drainage study necessary for completion to help facilitate this project and given the demands on engineering firms statewide. Dewberry began the study in late January. • Administrative Conditional Use Permits. Pursuant to the City’s recently updated code provisions, staff issued two administrative conditional use permits (instead of full conditional use permits that would otherwise require public hearings, greater expense and extended timeframe) for salons. • 195 Rocky Ridge Court Variance. As a result of a code enforcement action, the residents of 195 Rocky Ridge Court planned to complete an application for a variance to reduce setbacks for a metal RV/boat storage cover installed within the setbacks on a corner lot in Angel Oaks. A reduction from 20 feet to 13± feet was to be requested. Unfortunately, the application has not been submitted and enforcement activities will be resumed.
• Stanislaus Avenue alley abandonment. Staff is processing an application/request to abandon a city alley/easement behind property at 784 Stanislaus Avenue and border the Mark Twain Elementary School bus parking lot/offices. Deeds have been drafted.
• Other. Staff has received inquiries related to some potential future commercial projects which remain confidential at this time.

Upon completion of the City’s comprehensive code update and rezoning, Planning will begin drafting development standards pursuant to the LEAP Grant funds secured for the City. • 4/49 intersection Commercial Staff currently has no pending applications for these properties. 5 • City Hall sale. City Hall was officially listed for sale by Next Home/Utica properties. The $495,000 listing can be viewed at: http://search.nexthomeutica.com/listings/6009,2005243/584-South-Main-StreetAngels-Camp-CA-95222/?Address=95222&PropertyType=6. • Greenhouse Gas Inventory. The draft Greenhouse Gas Inventory for the City of Angels was presented to the Planning Commission on October 14, 2021. City Council heard a presentation on how the inventory was conducted, the findings, and considered Greenhouse Gas reduction goals (thresholds) on November 2, 2021. Phase II kick-off was held 10/22/21. Stakeholder meetings are being scheduled for early in 2022; however, delays at the County level have pushed these deadlines into spring. The Planning Commission is scheduled to review draft Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy measures at its March 9, 2022, meeting. • Vehicle Miles Traveled Study/Plan. A final memo was completed. This Calaveras Council of Governments study will provide the City with a process for evaluating vehicle miles traveled (VMTs), the new metric required for evaluation of traffic impacts pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In October, Fehr & Peers presented “test” cases involving actual City and County projects using a screening tool developed for the City and County. Staff at Calaveras COG, Calaveras County, and the City met on 10/26/21 to discuss the results as the screening tool and potential VMT reduction measures appear more urban than rural leaning and less useful than anticipated. A possible legislative solution may be considered in the future. Staff may require input from the City Attorney relative to the applicability of VMT regulations on affordable housing.
• Annexation The Community Development Department and Engineering (Dewberry) have been coordinating to identify the phasing and corresponding infrastructure needs associated with short-term and long-term annexations. This item has been placed on hold at present. • Redistricting. The Calaveras County Board of Supervisors adopted new district boundaries that reflect the City’s existing City Limits and proposed annexations for the immediate future. The City endorsed the new boundaries which retained the current City Limits within the same district. • Angels Creek Trail Environmental. Staff continues to provide reviews and assistance to Dewberry for environmental studies being completed by Dewberry for this project. • East Trunk/Vallecito sewer improvements. Staff continues administering the LEAP Grant funding and oversight for a contract with Helix Consulting to complete environmental permit acquisition for this project. Because funds have been allocated for this project, environmental documentation is complete, environmental permit applications submitted, the City Engineer and City Planner agreed that the City’s moratorium on new sewer connections could be lifted given that the project is guaranteed to move forward.
• Annual Reports Staff will be preparing the City’s Annual Housing Element Report and General Plan Status report for stat submittal prior to April 1, 2022, in accordance with state requirements and as necessary to receive certain state funds (e.g., CDBG).
6 Collaborator’s Meetings
Several representatives of the City’s Consulting firms have continued meeting once monthly online to discuss project coordination and provide updates as per past practice. From those meetings, the following is anticipated:
• Multiple sewer projects. Dewberry (Engineering) anticipates bringing an item to the City Council to evaluate the timing of multiple sewer capital improvement projects currently pending construction that could impact city streets in the historic district and how outreach might be approached to minimize impacts to the community.
• Angels Creek Trail. As previously reported, cultural resources identified on a portion of the transit center site require extensive and expensive assessment per Caltrans. Dewberry indicates that the location of the transit center will likely be changed to Tryon Park. A City Council briefing is anticipated from Dewberry.
Special Events/Items
Banners: Staff submitted the annual encroachment permit to Caltrans for banners across Main Street. The City Council approved a contract with Gold Electric to install and remove banners until the City’s bucket truck (sidelined in November 2021) can be repaired. Staff was notified that a request to waive the City’s banner installation fee will be submitted by the County Fairgrounds for the Frog Jump. Staff will bring the item to Council once a request is received.
Bounce houses: Council directed staff to provide additional information related to signage at the park informing the public that a permit is required from the City prior to installing/using a bounce house at City Parks. Staff also will submit the proposed application for review and approval by the City Attorney.
Engineering/Surveying/Public Works
• Palmer/Harrington. All deeds were recorded and the purchase was completed 1) selling a portion of City property to Mr. Harrington to provide a buffer between the City’s proposed trail and the Harrington property; and 2) resolving the century-long dispute related to property lines along Finnegan Lane and access to the City’s park and trail property located north of the Wastewater Treatment Plant and acquired recently.
• Stanislaus Parking. Planning and Engineering staff continue coordinating with the City Police Dpt. to establish no parking zones on Stanislaus Avenue in front of the school to improve safety. Currently, parking near school ingress/egress driveways blocks visibility of oncoming traffic. Engineering plans are pending.
• Generators. The propane generator at UWPA for Sierra Hope has been installed.
Due to supply chain issues, delivery of the large diesel generators for the Water Treatment Plant and City Hall are delayed. The state issued a state-wide extension for CAL OES grants through December 2022 given that most grantees were facing the same supply chain issues. The electrical panel at City Hall requires replacement in conjunction with installing the City Hall generator. A Change Order was ratified by the City Council for the replacement panel. PG&E and CCPA applications were submitted. PG&E has conducted an initial site visit. PG&E indicates that the process is expected to take 5-6 months and may 7 trigger a requirement to replace the existing electrical pole. Once PG&E has rendered a decision, staff will report to Council. The cost of replacing the existing electrical pole is $20-$30,000 according to PG&E.
Code Enforcement
• Due to extensive delays at the City’s printing provider, code violation citation pads were finally completed and received in January. Staff may now begin issuing citations for public nuisances under the recently amended city codes. Given that many staff have been performing double duties due to staffing shortages, code compliance was placed on the “back burner.” Staff is hoping that any reorganizations will consider hiring staff that can give code enforcement full attention.
Grants
• The City submitted a Recreation and Tourism Grant for $3 million for renovation, improvements, and expansion at Utica Park in response to being unsuccessful in its bid for a Round 4 Statewide Community Park grant.
• Per Capita Parks Grant. A project description/design for playground improvements at Utica Park and formal application were submitted to the state prior to the December 31, 2021, deadline. The Angels Camp Community Club (ACCC) will donate the difference between the $177,952 awarded by the State and the anticipated $235,117.85 budget for the new playground. The ACCC anticipates moving forward on construction of the new playground by Summer.
• With approval from the Council, Fire Dpt. and Planning Staff are amending last years’ application for a masticator to assist the City in its fire prevention activities. • CDBG – City Council approved a task order for the City Planner to oversee implementing a City CDBG to add a commercial refrigerator and generator to the Utica Park kitchen plus associated upgrades as necessary to allow the kitchen to be used commercially and to serve the public during emergencies.

FOR THE MEETING OF: February 15, 2022
TITLE: City Council Update As Requested
BY: Fire Chief John Rohrabaugh, Fire Marshal Nathan Pry Basic Information
• The Fire Department finish 2021 with a total of 1,017 calls for service. An increase of 157 calls or 18% from 2020.
• We have been completing winter maintenance on all fire apparatus. The ladder truck is currently at Hi-Tech fire apparatus in Oakdale for the service and aerial ladder testing. • With the approval of the new MOU which gives benefits to three current part time employees, we will be staffing one full-time company officer every day effective February 13th. • On February 8th we participated in the funeral service and procession for the Stockton Fire Captain that was killed in the line of duty.
On Going Projects
• Community Development Block Grant, New Fire Station Planning Grant. We have been working with Lorie Adams and Dennis Dong for about a year to develop the plans for a future Fire Station to be located at 200 Monte Verda St. Initial design plans have been developed and broken into three phases. We look forward to bringing this information to City Council for approval and are hoping to apply for the construction portion of the CDBG grant in February of 2023. • We are working on outfitting the new command vehicle with emergency equipment, with a goal of having the vehicle in service by March 1st.
• We have been reviewing several plans for new single family residence, solar and generator installations.
• The Fire Department has been assisting the Public Works dept. in flushing all fire hydrants in the City.
This is required by the State annually.
• The DWR emergency operations and floodwater plan grant close out has been submitted to the State for review and reimbursement.
• The Fire Department is working with COG on the emergency preparedness and evacuation plan. • We applied for CAL FIRE fire prevention grant for a skid steer masticator and dump trailer. • Ongoing alternate funding research with State, Federal, and Local grants.
Upcoming Projects
• Continue to work with staff, Lorie Adams, and Dennis Dong on CDBG construction grant in hopes of constructing phase one in 2023.
• With the addition of additional full time staff now on daily we will be updating our policy and procedure manual.
• We will be hosting several training classes for the County fire academy at Station 2. • Proactive system design for possible EMS/Paramedic program if County wide fire sales tax is successful.
• Researching apparatus for paramedic delivery system and alternative funding revenue. • We are currently researching and obtaining quotes on outdated Self Contained Breathing Apparatus, this will be a major purchase that we anticipate using monies from the CAL FIRE fund. • Work with Staff, LAFCO, and Altaville Melones FPD on some type of agreement of either a contact for services, JPA, or consolidation.
Potential issues
• Current contract with Altaville Melones FPD for additional staffing will expire in March of 2022. The current contract provides 2 stipend firefighters per day to the City, with the new MOU change that contact will need to be adjusted and agreed upon by both parties. • County wide fire tax to support or non support. It is our opinion that the County wide fire tax will bring an estimate 1.2 million dollars into our local community for additional fire department services.
If this tax is passed, we would want to implement a paramedic program by January 2023. If this program was approved by voters, we could meet the National standards for staffing.

B. 17.40 Greenhorn Creek Golf Course District (GHC – Golf) BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.90.020(B), an amendment may be initiated by a Resolution of Intent of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission approved Resolution of Intent 22-01 on January 13, 2022, for the above-captioned code revisions. The City Council introduced Ordinance 517 at its February 1, 2022, meeting. The proposed changes included here:
A. Reorganizes the three separate zoning districts addressed in Chapter 17.31 into a single commercial zoning district applicable to Greenhorn Creek
B. Relocates the Greenhorn Creek Public District to Chapter 17.40 for consistency with its intended purpose.
Staff Report 17.31 and 17.40 – Commercial: Greenhorn Creek Page - 2 C. Amends Chapter 17.40 to include Greenhorn Creek golf course-related uses into a single zoning district encompassing the OSG-PD and PS:PD provisions of Chapters 17.31 and 17.40) D. Eliminates the Open Space-PD zoning district (see Chapter 17.47, proposed Resolution of Intent 22- 02)
E. Revises the names of certain land uses to conform with recently adopted code definitions and amends the “site plan review” process referenced to conform with recently adopted procedures applicable to site plan review and site development permit review for uniformity citywide.
The City received SB2 funds to assist in a comprehensive update of its Municipal Code.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to AMC Section 17.90.040, the following findings are required for code amendments:
Finding A: The proposal conforms with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code The proposed amendments will implement the following general plan program:
1.A.b Continue to Conduct Reviews of the Angels Camp Municipal Code and General Plan for Consistency
The proposed revisions are necessary to implement this general plan program and ensure that the municipal code is internally consistent both with the general plan and internally, within the AMC itself. Therefore, the proposed changes are consistent with the general plan and municipal code.
Finding B: The proposed changes or amendments will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
The primary purpose of the proposed code amendments related to general plan consistency and internal code consistency. Permits issued pursuant to the AMC continue to require a finding, on a case-by-case basis, that each project is not substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
Therefore, the proposed code amendments are consistent with this finding.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed code amendments are exempt from further review, because the proposed amendments implement a program identified within the scope of the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report adopted for the 2020 General Plan.

City of Angels Council Meeting
FEBRUARY 15, 2022 REGULAR AGENDA 9. C
PUBLIC HEARING: Second reading, hold public hearing for Ordinance 518, an update and revision to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.40 Open Space; Planned Development (OS-PD) eliminating the OS-PD district applicable only to Greenhorn Creek and replacing it with Chapter 17.41 Open Space (OS) applicable citywide, Amy Augustine Planning Director.
Staff Report 17.41 – Open Space Page - 1
DATE: February 15, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: Second Reading and Adoption - Ordinance 518 an update and revision to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.40 Open Space: Planned Development (OS-PD) eliminating the OSPD district applicable only to Greenhorn Creek and replacing it with Chapter 17.41 Open Space (OS) applicable citywide.
RECOMMENDATION:
Re-introduce Ordinance 518, waive the second reading, hold a public hearing, adopt the ordinance and direct the City Clerk to publish it in accordance with Ordinance Section 2 for an update and revision to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.40 Open Space: Planned Development (OS-PD), eliminating the OS-PD district applicable only to Greenhorn Creek, and replacing it with Chapter 17.41 Open Space (OS) applicable citywide.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.90.020(B), an amendment may be initiated by a Resolution of Intent of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission unanimously approved Resolution of Intent 22-02 on January 13, 2022, for the changes described above. The City Council introduced the ordinance at its February 1, 2022, meeting.
Currently, when an environmental document identifies the need to avoid a sensitive resource or safety hazard area (e.g., flood hazard zone, creek setback, sensitive archaeological site), an easement and legal description must be prepared and recorded. That easement, in the past, has only sometimes been recorded and often is not shown on maps routinely consulted prior to development. As a result, areas identified for conservation or avoidance in prior environmental documents and subdivision agreements are frequently forgotten and may be inadvertently disturbed and even destroyed.
This proposed zoning district provides an alternative to an easement (which would remain an option) to identify sensitive resource or safety hazard areas. The open space zoning district would be shown on the City’s zoning map, would require landowner / developer approval, would eliminate the costs of preparing and recording an easement, and would provide a more effective alternative for identifying areas to be avoided by development.
In addition, multiple general plan 2020 implementation programs call for establishing an open space zoning district as identified in the following analysis.
Staff Report 17.41 – Open Space Page - 2
The City received SB2 funds to assist in a comprehensive update of its Municipal Code, including this amendment.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to AMC Section 17.90.040, the following findings are required for code amendments:
Finding A: The proposal conforms with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code The proposed amendments will implement the following general plan programs:
1.A.b Continue to Conduct Reviews of the Angels Camp Municipal Code and General Plan for Consistency
1.B.e, 4Ha Designate Identified Flood Hazard Areas as Resource Management/Open Space Designate flood hazard areas, as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or as refined through local studies, as Resource Management (“RM” general plan) and Open Space (“OS” zoning).
1.B.f, 4.D.d, 4Gc, 6Bg, 11Bb: Designate Resource Management & Open Space Setbacks Along Creeks Establish an open space setback encompassing designated flood hazard areas along Angels Creek and Six Mile Creek. Designate these areas as Resource Management (RM) on the city’s general plan maps and as Open Space (OS) on the city’s zoning maps. Establish similar setbacks along other drainages within the city (e.g., China Gulch) or along drainages in areas that may be annexed into the city in the future.
1.C.g, 4.D.i, 11Ba Establish a Resources Management (RM) Land Use Designation and Maintain and Update the City’s Open Space Zoning District
Establish a Resources Management (RM) General Plan Land Use Designation in the city’s general plan that is compatible with an Open Space (OS) zoning district. The city’s municipal code should use the Open Space (OS) zoning district to provide for conservation of biological, scenic and cultural resources. Alternative zoning districts may be developed consistent with the Resources Management (RM) General Plan Land Use Designation to address flood protection, recreation and similar uses. Update the city’s Open Space (OS) zoning district to address permitted and conditional uses, use of native plants, trail construction, and similar uses in the Open Space (OS) zoning district.
4.D.h Integrate Coordinated Resources Management Principles in Open Space Management Planning Efforts
To the maximum extent feasible, integrate design features in support of all of the following when undertaking open space management planning efforts (e.g., creek corridor management plans): flood protection, increased recreational opportunities, biological resources conservation, water quality protection and enhancement, cultural resource protection, educational opportunities, erosion and sediment control, economic opportunities, community character preservation and enhancement, and similar community benefits
4.H.c Designate Areas Under High Voltage Power Lines as Resource Management - Open Space Designate areas under high voltage power lines as Resource Management (“RM” - General Staff Report 17.41 – Open Space Page - 3
Plan) and Open Space (“OS” - Zoning). Consider incorporating these open spaces into the city’s recreation master plan for trails while maintaining private property rights.
6.A.i Designate Identified Hazard Areas Through Appropriate Zoning Where Feasible Zone areas within 100 feet of capable fault areas or other identified geological hazard areas as Open Space (OS), Parks and Recreation (REC) or, if appropriate, Public (P) (e.g., land owned by the United States Bureau of Reclamation). Allow recreational uses without structures (e.g., trails) within hazard zones where appropriate.
The proposed revisions are necessary to implement these general plan programs and ensure that the municipal code is internally consistent both with the general plan and internally, within the AMC itself.
Therefore, the proposed changes are consistent with the general plan and provides the necessary amendment making the municipal code consistent with the general plan.
Finding B: The proposed changes or amendments will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
The primary purposes of the proposed code amendments are related to general plan consistency and internal code consistency. The proposed open space district is specifically intended to identify areas with potential safety hazards to ensure avoidance as necessary to protect public health and safety.
Permits issued pursuant to the AMC continue to require a finding, on a case-by-case basis, that each project is not substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
Based on the preceding, the proposed code amendments are consistent with this finding.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed code amendments are exempt from further review, because the proposed amendments implement a program identified within the scope of the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report adopted for the 2020 General Plan.

RE: Second Reading and adoption of Ordinance 519 to update and revise Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.36 (Public Services District), renaming it the Public and Quasi Public (P) District, adding a provision for housing to the district, and updating Chapter 17.09 (Definitions) to address these changes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Re-introduce Ordinance 519, waive the second reading, hold a public hearing, adopt the ordinance and direct the City Clerk to publish the ordinance in accordance with Ordinance 519 Section 3 updating and revising Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.36 (Public Services District), renaming it the Public and Quasi Public (P) District, adding a provision for housing to the district, and updating Chapter 17.09 (Definitions) to address these changes.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.90.020(B), an amendment may be initiated by a Resolution of Intent of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission unanimously approved Resolution of Intent 22-03 for the above-described changes on January 13, 2022. The City Council introduced the ordinance on February 1, 2022.
Prior to adopting General Plan 2020, numerous parcels citywide owned by schools, local, state and/or federal agencies, special districts, and public utilities were identified as residential, commercial or otherwise identified as non-public. To facilitate identifying public and quasi-public properties in the City and to avoid “counting” such parcels towards the City’s stock of residential and/or commercial lands; these lands were redesignated as Public.
The city has minimal or no jurisdiction to regulate most public and quasi-public land uses. The Public/Quasi public general plan land use designation is intended to recognize this. In addition, the City’s Housing Element requires an amendment providing a mechanism to allow housing on public land. The proposed zoning district implements the Public/Quasi Public general plan land use designation and fulfills both purposes.
The City received SB2 funds to assist in a comprehensive update of its Municipal Code, including this amendment.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to AMC Section 17.90.040, the following findings are required for code amendments:
Staff Report Public Zoning Page - 2
Finding A: The proposal conforms with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code The proposed amendments will implement, or facilitate implementing, the following general plan programs:
GENERAL PLAN LAND USES:
Public & Quasi Public (P)
Purpose and Intent
To accommodate both public and quasi-public uses for those agencies that serve as their own Lead Agency when conducting environmental reviews (e.g., government buildings, schools, transportation facilities, public utilities, special districts).
To allow for public-private partnerships in the furtherance of General Plan goals, policies, and programs.
Location
Government buildings, schools, transportation facilities, public utilities, special districts and similar uses.
Public and quasi-public uses may be located throughout the city.
Minimum Design Standards
• Maximum impervious surfaces: 75% or equal to requirements for adjoining land uses; whichever is less.
• A minimum 20% landscaping is required for this land use. • For parcels adjoining or visible from highways, arterials or collectors, project design shall accommodate the provision of street trees
1.A.b Continue to Conduct Reviews of the Angels Camp Municipal Code and General Plan for Consistency
1.B.k, 7Ic Recognize Opportunities and Constraints of Public Land Uses Continue to recognize the opportunities and constraints created by public lands in and around Angels Camp and integrate these elements in the city’s land use planning decisions.
Planning opportunities associated with public lands include:
a. Providing buffers between communities to assist in retaining individual community character
b. Providing recreational opportunities for residents and visitors c. Providing open space for conserving natural resources d. Providing defined public lands boundaries that may be integrated into the established boundaries of the city’s sphere of influence
e. Providing defined public lands boundaries that may be integrated into established city limit boundaries Planning constraints that may be associated with public lands include:
f. Increased demands on the city’s police and fire services g. Generating significant noise levels (e.g., concerts at the fairgrounds) Staff Report Public Zoning Page - 3
h. Increased traffic through the city (e.g., recreational vehicles, boats)
1.I.a, 7Id Facilitate City Cooperation/Coordination with Other Agencies The city will seek input from county, state, federal, regional, public and quasi-public agencies regarding projects undertaken by the city with the potential to influence the interests of these agencies.
1.I.b Facilitate Agency Cooperation/Coordination with the City The city will contact local representatives of the county, state, federal, regional, public and quasipublic agencies within its Sphere of Influence, requesting that each agency notify the city and provide the city with an opportunity to provide input for projects with the potential to influence the interests of the City.
2.A.l Allow Housing in the Public (P) Zoning District
Amend the Public (P) zoning district to allow for the development of affordable housing opportunities by public agencies.
The proposed revisions are necessary to implement these general plan programs by facilitating the identification of public and quasi-public lands citywide; implement the public/quasit public land use designation, and ensure that the municipal code is internally consistent both with the general plan and internally, within the AMC itself. Therefore, the proposed changes are consistent with the general plan and provides the necessary amendment making the municipal code consistent with the general plan.
Finding B: The proposed changes or amendments will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
The primary purposes of the proposed code amendments are related to general plan consistency and internal code consistency.
Permits issued pursuant to the AMC continue to require a finding, on a case-by-case basis, that each project is not substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
Based on the preceding, the proposed code amendments are consistent with this finding.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed code amendments are exempt from further review, because the proposed amendments implement programs identified within the scope of the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report adopted for the 2020 General Plan.

TO: City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: Second Reading and adoption of Ordinance 520 to update and revise Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.49 Mining Combining District (:MN) to become the Resources Management Combining District (:RM) for general plan consistency.
RECOMMENDATION:
Re-introduce Ordinance 520, waive the second reading, hold a public hearing, adopt the ordinance and direct the City Clerk to publish it in accordance with Ordinance Section 2 updating and revising Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.49 Mining Combining District (:MN) to become the Resources Management Combining District (:RM) for general plan consistency.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.90.020(B), an amendment may be initiated by a Resolution of Intent of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission approved Resolution of Intent 22-04 on January 13, 2022, with an amendment to reflect general plan requirements related to minimum parcel size, for the changes described above. The City Council introduced the ordinance at its February 1, 2022, meeting.
Multiple General Plan 2020 implementation programs call for establishing a Resources Management district as identified in the following analysis. The proposed amendment will implement these programs.
The City received SB2 funds to assist in a comprehensive update of its Municipal Code, including this amendment.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to AMC Section 17.90.040, the following findings are required for code amendments:
Finding A: The proposal conforms with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code The proposed amendments will implement the following general plan programs:
1.A.b Continue to Conduct Reviews of the Angels Camp Municipal Code and General Plan for Consistency
1.B.e, 4Ha Designate Identified Flood Hazard Areas as Resource Management/Open Space Staff Report 17.49 – Resources Management Page - 2
Designate flood hazard areas, as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or as refined through local studies, as Resource Management (“RM” general plan) and Open Space (“OS” zoning).
1.B.f, 4.D.d, 4Gc, 6Bg, 11Bb: Designate Resource Management & Open Space Setbacks Along Creeks Establish an open space setback encompassing designated flood hazard areas along Angels Creek and Six Mile Creek. Designate these areas as Resource Management (RM) on the city’s general plan maps and as Open Space (OS) on the city’s zoning maps. Establish similar setbacks along other drainages within the city (e.g., China Gulch) or along drainages in areas that may be annexed into the city in the future.
1.C.g, 4.D.i, 11Ba Establish a Resources Management (RM) Land Use Designation and Maintain and Update the City’s Open Space Zoning District
Establish a Resources Management (RM) General Plan Land Use Designation in the city’s general plan that is compatible with an Open Space (OS) zoning district. The city’s municipal code should use the Open Space (OS) zoning district to provide for conservation of biological, scenic and cultural resources. Alternative zoning districts may be developed consistent with the Resources Management (RM) General Plan Land Use Designation to address flood protection, recreation and similar uses. Update the city’s Open Space (OS) zoning district to address permitted and conditional uses, use of native plants, trail construction, and similar uses in the Open Space (OS) zoning district.
4.D.h Integrate Coordinated Resources Management Principles in Open Space Management Planning Efforts
To the maximum extent feasible, integrate design features in support of all of the following when undertaking open space management planning efforts (e.g., creek corridor management plans): flood protection, increased recreational opportunities, biological resources conservation, water quality protection and enhancement, cultural resource protection, educational opportunities, erosion and sediment control, economic opportunities, community character preservation and enhancement, and similar community benefits
4.H.c Designate Areas Under High Voltage Power Lines as Resource Management - Open Space Designate areas under high voltage power lines as Resource Management (“RM” - General Plan) and Open Space (“OS” - Zoning). Consider incorporating these open spaces into the city’s recreation master plan for trails while maintaining private property rights.
The proposed revisions are necessary to implement these general plan programs and ensure that the municipal code is internally consistent both with the general plan and internally, within the AMC itself.
Therefore, the proposed changes are consistent with the general plan and provides the necessary amendment making the municipal code consistent with the general plan.
Finding B: The proposed changes or amendments will not be substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
The primary purposes of the proposed code amendments are related to general plan consistency and internal code consistency. The proposed district also assists in identifying areas with potential safety hazards to ensure avoidance as necessary to protect public health and safety.
Staff Report 17.49 – Resources Management Page - 3
Permits issued pursuant to the AMC continue to require a finding, on a case-by-case basis, that each project is not substantially detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of the City.
Based on the preceding, the proposed code amendments are consistent with this finding.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed code amendments are exempt from further review, because the proposed amendments implement a program identified within the scope of the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report adopted for the 2020 General Plan.

Discussion and Direction on Building Inspection Services, Rebecca Callen, City Administrator

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Building Inspection Services 1
DATE: February 15, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION ON BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
Direct the City Administrator to work with Interwest to extend the existing contract to June 30, 2022.
Get direction from Council on either issuing an RFP for Plan Review and Inspection Services or direction to pursue in-house staffing plan with either option to be in place July 1, 2022.
BACKGROUND
The City had a fulltime Building Inspector up until they retired in 2018. It was determined at that time to request proposals for services (RFP) as an option to save costs and expand the services that the City would be able to provide.
The City awarded the contract for building inspection services and plan review with Interwest Consulting Group December 2018. The contract was extended to March 31, 2022 at the November 2, 2021 Council meeting. At that time, Council directed staff to issue a new RFP for consideration of a Contract Building Official and Inspection Services with an additional task for Code Compliance.
The Council also had discussion about consideration of a part-time Building Official/Inspector and creation of a classification and compensation to merit what the City’s needs for service are.
The contract, whether the City were to continue with Interwest or award to a new contractor, post an RFP, allows the charges by classification be dependent on the work that is required. In addition to having a certified Building Official, the contract includes Structural Engineers, Certified Inspectors, Permit Technicians, Code Enforcement, Certified Plans Examiner, and CASp certification. This provides services for any type of building or development, in addition to any ADA needs the City may experience.
DISCUSSION
The role of the City with regards to the Building Division is to ensure the health and safety of all building that occurs within the City limits. This includes building plan checks, inspections, and code enforcement with coordination among other agencies and City departments, contractors, developers, and the public.

Extensive knowledge of building construction, alteration, repair methods, and building materials; knowledge and ability to understand, interpret, and apply State and Local building codes; ordinances, rules, regulations, and enforcement principles and practices of the Uniform Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, Fire, and Municipal Grading codes; ability to establish effective relationships with contractors, builders, the public, and other public agency personnel, and City staff and officials; ability to learns and apply local policies, procedures, rules and regulations as well as the Uniform Building Codes; knowledge of organizational and management practices; ability to be called out any time of the day or night to determine safety of structures following an emergency and natural disasters; ability to use independent judgement in the field and make final determinations requiring a Building Official’s opinion; and ability to operate a motor vehicle safely.

Permits

Site Visits Not reported 577 523
The current contract has limited the total Consultant’s compensation to a not to exceed $80,000 per fiscal year, unless prior approval of the Council. Based on the trends, we are slated to be in line with the 2019/20 permit totals as well as site visits.
The fees charged for permits and inspection services are intended to cover costs, whether contracted or staffed inhouse. The advantage of having in-house staffing is broader control over the workload and more hours for the cost. The advantage of having contracted consultants is ensuring that the City has the necessary expertise that you may not find in one or two positions, requiring some components of the work to remain contracted.

For the City to absorb the same level of work product, a Certified Building Official/ Inspector, earning $32.61-39.63 per hour would be required in addition to a Permit Technician, earning $22.30-28.16 per hour.
In addition to the estimated annual costs, equipment would be needed including computers, peripherals, an inspection vehicle as none are available for use.
No Code Compliance is contemplated at this time due to the demand for plan reviews and inspections.
Should time warrant, Code Compliance efforts would be supplemented with hours not spent on permitting and inspection duties. Any ADA requirements still require a CASp Certified Consultant on an as needed basis. Not having a CASp point as part of the review process can expose the City to additional liability that pertain to accessibility claims that may be filed.
Option Annual Low Annual High
2 FTEs w/ CASp $148,494 + $3,000 = $151,494 $183,304+ $3,000 = $186,304 2 Part time w/ CASp $57,991 + $3000 = $60,992 $71,583 + $3,000 = $74,586 Contracting total package $80,000 $80,000
In addition to the contemplation of whether to stay with a contracted model or bring back in-house, contemplation of growth stagnation is important. Should the City start to see any reductions, the hours would also need to be reduced to align with the work effort. This is easier with a contract for services.
It may be challenging to recruit for part time qualified employees, whereas it may be easier for fulltime options.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Bringing a part time model back in to the City, will cost slightly less annually, $5,414. One-time costs to fund equipment would also be required. Additional review of vehicle options is needed. More hours would be gained by bring in house, with the need for contracted consultants still being required.
