Council Member Schirato asked if Interwest was having staffing issues, staff responded.

Council Member Moncada spoke her concerns on why she wanted someone locally.

Council Member Tiscornia asked if there was a way to still have Interwest, as the Building Official but still hire a local inspector, staff responded it is, that they are open to work with us Mayor Broglio asked about the possible length of a new contract, staff responded Council Member Schirato asked about the rates if they would go up and staff stated there maybe a possibility, concerns regarding current and future building Council Member Moncada mentioned that if the City went the part time route, there could be a retired person that would be willing to step in. She asked about the positions, staff advised the position could be limited term. More round table discussion.

Public Comment by Jeff Johnson, spoke about the needs for an inspector, currently contractors have to wait for a couple days, they then end up having to pull the workers off the job. He asked why the City couldn’t just hire a full-time position as both a building inspector / code enforcement officer. He expressed how he feels the city needs a local contractor that is available at all times.

Debbie Ponte spoke on behalf of DAC, City’s doing the right discussion to look at the RFP, there currently are projects in the hopper but the current environment on the financial and the state of the economy is starting to scare people about whether or not they are going to pursue larger developments, she is thankful that there is Habitat for Humanity and it should go forward due to the grant funding and the work force coming from the home owners, but there is not a lot of residential building that is going to be happening any time soon because of the financial market, on the commercial side she believes that there are a lot, sitting on the fence waiting for the direction of the City, on where they are going to go the next 5 to 10 years, where Council wants development, a lot of unknown, she agrees extending Interwest to the end of the year was a good move, but looking at the option of the RFP and massaging it a little for what an in house person or department looks like,she believesin house would be costly. The cost is why in 2017/18 it was made to be contracted. She mentioned the permits and inspection numbers provided in staff report.

She mentioned it is a good time to engage the contractors. With the balance of a little of everything, the City is on the right track. She personally thinks a part time person would not take it on due to the liability.

CITY HALL
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Mayor Broglio, mentioned that full time is a concern of his due to the unfunded liability.

City of Angels Council Meeting
MARCH 1, 2022 CONSENT AGENDA 6.B

Adopt Resolution No. 22-05, Authorizing the City to Implement Teleconferenced Public Meeting Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 Allowing the City to Continue a Hybrid Virtual Meeting Environment, Mayor and City Council
{CW110982.1}
MEETING DATE: March 1, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Douglas L. White, City Attorney
RE: Resolution No. 22-05, Authorizing the City to Implement Teleconferenced Public Meetings Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 Allowing the City to Continue a Hybrid Virtual Meeting Environment.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the City to Implement Teleconferenced Public Meetings Pursuant to Assembly Bill 361 Allowing the City to Continue a Hybrid Virtual Meeting Environment.

BACKGROUND:

On September 16, 2021 Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (“AB”) 361 which allows cities to continue to meet remotely during proclaimed states of emergency under modified Ralph M. Brown Act requirements that are similar but not identical to the rules and procedures established by the previous Executive Orders temporarily suspending provisions of the Brown Act. On September 20, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-15-21 to suspend AB 361 until October 1, 2021.

AB 361, until January 1, 2024, authorizes a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when a local legislative body holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency by the governor and when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which among other things rescinded his prior Executive Order N-29-20 and set a date of October 1, 2021, for public agencies to transition back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Brown Act.

As the Delta and Omicron variants have surged in California, the Legislature has taken action to extend the COVID-19 exceptions to the Brown Acts’s teleconference requirements, subject to some additional safeguards.
{CW110982.1}
A local agency that holds a meeting under these circumstances would be required by AB 361 to do all of the following, in addition to giving notice of the meeting and posting agendas as required under the Brown act. These additional requirements are intended to protect the public’s right to participate in the meetings of local agency legislative bodies.

Pursuant to AB 361 local agencies are required to do all of the following in addition to meeting notice requirements under the Brown Act:
• Allow the public to access the meeting and require that the agenda provide an opportunity for the public to directly address the legislative body pursuant to the Brown Act’s other teleconferencing provisions.
• In each instance when the local agency provides notice of the teleconferenced meeting or posts its agenda, give notice for how the public can access the meeting and provide public comment. • Identify and include in the agenda an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in or an internet-based service option; the legislative body need not provide a physical location for the public to attend or provide comments.
• Conduct teleconference meetings in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the public.
• Stop the meeting until public access is restored in the event of a service disruption that either prevents the local agency from broadcasting the meeting to the public using the call-in or internet-based service option or is within the local agency’s control and prevents the public from submitting public comments (any actions taken during such a service disruption can be challenged under the Brown Act’s existing challenge provisions).
• Not require comments be submitted in advance (though the legislative body may provide that as an option) and provide the opportunity to comment in real time. • Provide adequate time for public comment, either by establishing a timed public comment period or by allowing a reasonable amount of time to comment. • If the legislative body uses a third-party website or platform to host the teleconference, and the third-party service requires users to register to participate, the legislative body must provide adequate time during the comment period for users to register and may not close the registration comment period until the comment period has elapsed.

AB 361 also provides that if a local agency conducts teleconference meetings in reliance on AB 361, the local agency must make the following findings by majority vote every 30 days to continue using the bill’s exemption to the Brown Act teleconferencing rules:
• The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the emergency; and • Either of the following circumstances exist: The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person, or State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures.

The goal of AB 361 is “to improve and enhance public access to local agency meetings during the COVID19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options” consistent with Executive Order N-29-20. AB 361 contains an urgency clause which became effective upon signing with a sunset of January 1, 2024.

Over the past year, the Angels Camp City Council meetings have been held with virtual hybrid teleconference components. The City Council Chamber is not open for public attendance, but public participation is ensured through a virtual environment. {CW110982.1}

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANGELS CAMP CITY COUNCIL

PROCLAIMING A LOCAL EMERGENCY AND AUTHORIZING

REMOTE TELECONFERENCE MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE

BODIES OF THE CITY OF ANGELS PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL
361 AND BROWN ACT PROVISIONS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Angels (the “City”) is committed to preserving public access and participation in meetings of the City Council; and WHEREAS, all meetings of the City’s legislative bodies are open and public, as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code, §§ 54950 – 54963), so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and watch the City’s legislative bodies conduct their business; and
WHEREAS, on September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (“AB”) 361, amending Government Code section 54953, subdivision (e) to allow for remote teleconferencing participation in meetings by members of a legislative body without compliance with the requirements of Government Code section 54953, subdivision (b)(3), subject to the existence of certain conditions; and WHEREAS, a required condition for remote teleconferencing participation in meetings by members of a legislative body is that a state of emergency is declared by the Governor, pursuant to Government Code section 8625, proclaiming the existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the state caused by conditions as described in Government Code section 8558; and WHEREAS, a proclamation is made when there is an actual incident, threat of disaster, or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the jurisdictions that are within the City’s boundaries, caused by natural, technological, or human-caused disasters; and
WHEREAS, it is further required that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing or the legislative body meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees; and WHEREAS, such conditions now exist in the City, specifically, on March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency to exist in California as a result of the threat of COVID-19; despite sustained efforts, the virus continues to spread and is impacting nearly all sectors of California; and WHEREAS, there has been a significant increase in COVID-19 cases due primarily to the Omicron variant and COVID-19. Emerging evidence indicates that the {CW110983.1}
Omicron variant is far more transmissible than prior variants of the virus, and can be spread by fully vaccinated individuals; and
WHEREAS, as a consequence of the declared emergency, the City Council does hereby find that the legislative body of the City shall conduct their meetings without compliance with Government Code section 54953, subdivision (b)(3), as authorized by Section 54953, subdivision (e), and that such legislative bodies shall comply with the requirements to provide the public with access to the meetings as prescribed in Section 54953, subdivision (e)(2); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code section 54953, subdivision (e)(3), in order to continue to teleconference without compliance with Government Code section 54953, subdivision (b)(3), the City Council shall, not later than 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time pursuant to this Resolution, and every 30 days thereafter, make the following findings by majority vote: The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency and any of the following conditions exist: (1) the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person or (2) state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing; and
WHEREAS, the City reserves the option to hold in-person meetings, consistent with local health officer directives, or to continue a practice of remote meetings that still allow multiple options for public participation.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANGELS CAMP DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.

Section 2. Proclamation of Local Emergency. The City Council hereby proclaims that a local emergency exists throughout the City, and that the legislative body meeting in person could present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees due to the prevalence of COVID-19 in Calaveras County and the state, such that the City reserves the right to continue virtual meetings or conduct in-person meetings, consistent with local health guidance or duly issued orders.

Section 3. Remote Teleconference Meetings. The legislative body and designees of the City are hereby authorized and directed to take all actions necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Resolution, including conducting open and public meetings in accordance with Government Code section 54953, subdivision (e), and other applicable provisions of the Brown Act.
{CW110983.1}
Section 4. Effective Date of Resolution. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption and shall be effective until the earlier of (i) April 1, 2022, or (ii) such time the City Council makes a subsequent finding by majority vote in accordance with Government Code section 54953, subdivision (e)(3), to extend the time during which the legislative bodies of the City may continue to teleconference without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of section 54953.

Adopt Resolution No. 22-06, Opposing an upcoming proposition (Initiative 21- 004241) on the November 2022 Statewide Ballot, Rebecca Callen, City Administrator

TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: APPROVE RESOLUTION TO OPPOSE INITIATIVE 21-0042A1

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a resolution opposing an upcoming proposition (Initiative 21-0042A1) on the November 2022 statewide ballot.

BACKGROUND
The League of California Cities reached out to all cities requesting that their respective Councils approve a resolution opposing Initiative No. 21-0042A1. The measure limits the voter‘s input, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold state and local law violators accountable.

DISCUSSION
The League of California Cities’ mission is to restore and protect control for cities through education and advocacy. They regularly send educational information to the City on new laws or, in this case, opposition for laws that could impact the City in a negative way.

This initiative:
• Limits voter authority by prohibiting local votes from providing direction on how local dollars should be spent by prohibiting local advisory measures.
• Sets new standard for franchise fees, which could restrict the amount companies pay for the use of public property.
• Fee would be limited to the “minimum amount necessary” and the burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed actual costs is much more restrictive.
• Restricts the City’s authority to issue fines and penalties without a burdensome adjudicatory process is used (which is not defined yet).
• If the City were to annex an area, the expansion of that area to be taxed would require voter approval. • Taxes are limited for a specific period, not indefinite.

Based on these potential impacts it is in the best interest to oppose this initiative by approving an opposition resolution.

Fiscal and Program Effects of
Initiative 21-0042A1 on Local Governments
If Initiative 21-0042A1 is placed on the ballot and passed by voters, it will result in:
 Billions of local government fee and charge revenues placed at heightened legal peril. Related public service reductions across virtually every aspect of city, county, special district, and school services especially for transportation, and public facility use.  Hundreds of millions of dollars of annual revenues from dozens of tax and bond measures approved by voters between January 1, 2022 and November 9, 2022 subject to additional voter approval if not in compliance with the initiative.
 Indeterminable legal and administrative burdens and costs on local government from new and more empowered legal challenges, and bureaucratic cost tracking requirements.  The delay and deterrence of municipal annexations and associated impacts on housing and commercial development.
 Service and infrastructure impacts including in fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, drinking water, sewer sanitation, parks, libraries, public schools, affordable housing, homelessness prevention and mental health services.

1. Local Government Taxes and Services Threatened
With regard to taxes, Initiative 21-0042A1:
 Prohibits advisory, non-binding measures as to use of tax proceeds on the same ballot. o Voters may be less informed and more likely to vote against measures.  Eliminates the ability of special tax measures proposed by citizen initiative to be enacted by majority voter approval (Upland).
o Because the case law regarding citizen initiative special taxes approved by majority vote (Upland) is so recent, it is unknown how common these sorts of measures might be in the future. This initiative would prohibit such measures after the effective date of the initiative. Any such measures adopted after January 1, 2022 through November 8, 2022 would be void after November 9, 2023.
 Requires that tax measures include a specific duration of time that the tax will be imposed. This seems to require that all tax increases or extensions contain a sunset (end date). o This would require additional tax measures to extend previously approved taxes at additional cost to taxpayers.
 Requires that a tax or bond measure adopted after January 1, 2022 and before the effective date of the initiative (November 9, 2022) that was not adopted in accordance with the measure be readopted in compliance with the measure or will be void twelve months after the effective date of the initiative (November 9, 2023).
o If past election patterns are an indication, dozens of tax and bond measures approving hundreds of millions of annual revenues may not be in compliance and would be subject to reenactment.

Most will be taxes without a specific end date. Because there is no regularly scheduled election within the 12 months following the effective date of the initiative, measures not in compliance would need to be placed on a special election ballot for approval before November 9, 2023 or the tax will be void after that date. General tax measures would require declaration of emergency and unanimous vote of the governing board.

 Requires voter approval to expand an existing tax to new territory (annexations). This would require additional tax measures and would deter annexations and land development in cities. o If a tax is "extended" to an annexed area without a vote after January 1, 2022, it will be void 12 months later until brought into compliance. Because there is no regularly scheduled election within the 12 months following the effective date of the initiative, such extensions for general taxes would, under current law, each require unanimous vote of the agency board to be placed on a special election ballot or would be void after November 9, 2023.

1.a. Number of Measures and Value of Local Taxes at Risk1 In 2020, voters in California approved 293 local tax and bond measures for cities, counties, special districts and schools (95 in March and 198 in November). The approved measures enacted $3.85 billion in new annual taxes including $1.3 billion for cities, $302 million for counties, $208 million for special districts (fire, wastewater, open space and transit districts), and $2.037 billion for schools (including for school bonds).

Most tax measures go to the ballot during a presidential or gubernatorial primary or general election in an even year. However, some tax measures are decided at other times. During 2019, there were 45 approved tax and bond measures (24 city, 14 special district, 7 school) adopting $154.0 million in new annual taxes ($124.0 million city, $10.5 million special district and $19.2 million school).

Most tax and bond measures comply with the new rules in Initiative 21-0042Amdt#1 except:
 Dozens of taxes would require end dates. This would require additional measures in future years to extend the taxes further. Very few extensions of existing local taxes fail.  Majority vote general tax measures could not be accompanied on the same ballot with an advisory, non-binding measure as to use of tax proceeds.  Special taxes placed on the ballot via citizen initiative would require two-thirds voter approval.

Bond measures have fixed terms. Historically, about 20 percent of other tax measures have included specific durations (i.e. sunsets). Advisory measures as to use of revenues are uncommon. I do not expect the provisions of 21-0042A1 to have any substantial effect on passage rates. However, some 2022 approved measures would likely have to put back on the ballot.

Based on history, a reasonable estimate of the annualized tax revenues estimated to be approved by 1 Source: Compilation and summary of data from County elections offices. – 3 – rev January 7, 2022
CaliforniaCityFinance.com
voters in 2022 and placed at risk by this initiative is at least $1.5 billion, including $1.0 billion from cities and $500 million from counties and special districts. 2 1.b. Additional Costs and Public Service Effects of the Tax Provisions In addition to service delays and disruption due to new tax revenues placed at greater legal risk, there will be substantial additional costs for legal defense. The deterrence of taxes for annexations will delay and deter municipal annexations.

2. “Exempt Charges” (fees and charges that are not taxes) and Services Threatened With regard to fees and charges adopted after January 1, 2022, Initiative 21-0042A1:
 Subjects new fees and charges for a product or service to a new "actual cost” test defined as “(i) the minimum amount necessary to reimburse the government for the cost of providing the service to the payor, and (ii) where the amount charged is not used by the government for any purpose other than reimbursing that cost. In addition, subjects these same charges to a new, undefined, “reasonable” standard.
 Subjects fees and charges for entrance to local government property; and rental and sale of local government property to a new, undefined, “reasonable” test.  Subjects a challenged fee or charge to new, higher burdens of proof if legally challenged.  Prohibits a levy, charge or exaction regulating or related to vehicle miles traveled, imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.

2.a. Value on New Local Government Fees and Charges at Risk3 Virtually every city, county, and special district must regularly (e.g., annually) adopt increases to fee rates and charges and revise rate schedules to accommodate new users and activities. Most of these would be subject to new standards and limitations under threat of legal challenge. Based on the current volume of fees and charges imposed by local agencies and increases in those fees simply to accommodate inflation, the amount of local government fee and charge revenue placed at risk is about $1 billion per year including those adopted since January 1, 2022. Of this $1 billion, about $570 million is for special districts, $450 million is cities, and $260 million is counties.4
Major examples of affected fees and charges are:

1. Nuisance abatement charges - such as for weed, rubbish and general nuisance abatement to fund community safety, code enforcement, and neighborhood cleanup programs.

2. Commercial franchise fees.

3. Emergency response fees - such as in connection with DUI.

4. Advanced Life Support (ALS) transport charges.

5. Document processing and duplication fees.

6. Transit fees, tolls, parking fees, public airport and harbor use fees.

7. Facility use charges, fees for parks and recreation services, garbage disposal tipping fees.

In addition to fees and charges, the measure puts fines and penalties assessed for the violation of state and 2 This does not include citizen initiative special tax approved by majority but not two-thirds. Because this approach is new, the number of these measures and amount of revenue involved cannot be estimated. 3 Source: California State Controller Annual Reports of Financial Transactions concerning cities, counties and special districts, summarized with an assumed growth due to fee rate increases (not population) of 2 percent annually. 4 School fees are also affected but the amount is negligible by comparison. – 4 – rev January 7, 2022

local law at risk, making them taxes subject to voter approval under certain circumstances.

2.b. Additional Costs and Public Service Effects of the Fee/Charge Provisions In addition to service delays and disruptions due to fee and charge revenues placed at greater legal risk, there would be substantial additional costs for legal defense. The risk to fees and charges will make infrastructure financing more difficult and will deter new residential and commercial development. ***********

Stop the Corporate Loopholes Scheme
Deceptive Proposition Allows Major Corporations to Avoid Paying their Fair Share and Evade Enforcement when they Violate Environmental, Health & Safety Laws An association representing California’s wealthiest corporations — including oil, insurance, banks and drug companies — is behind a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot. Their measure would create major new loopholes that allow corporations to avoid paying their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities; while also allowing corporations to evade enforcement when they violate environmental, health, safety and other state and local laws. Here’s why a broad coalition of local governments, labor and public safety leaders, infrastructure advocates, and businesses oppose the Corporate Loophole Scheme:

Gives Wealthy Corporations a Major Loophole to Avoid Paying their Fair Share - Forcing Local Residents and Taxpayers to Pay More • The measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local infrastructure, our environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources – shifting the burden and making individual taxpayers pay more.

Allows Corporations to Dodge Enforcement When They Violate Environmental, Health, Public Safety and Other Laws
• The deceptive scheme creates new loopholes that makes it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods.

Jeopardizes Vital Local and State Services
• This far-reaching measure puts at risk billions of dollars currently dedicated to critical state and local services.
• It could force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services and more. • It would also reduce funding for critical infrastructure like streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new schools, sanitation, utilities and more.

Opens the Door for Frivolous Lawsuits, Bureaucracy and Red Tape that Will Cost Taxpayers and Hurt Our Communities
• The measure will encourage frivolous lawsuits, bureaucracy and red tape that will cost local taxpayers millions — while significantly delaying and stopping investments in infrastructure and vital services.

Undermines Voter Rights, Transparency, and Accountability • This misleading measure changes our constitution to make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and local infrastructure.
• It also includes a hidden provision that would retroactively cancel measures that were passed by local voters — effectively undermining the rights of voters to decide for themselves what their communities need.
• It would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures, where voters provide direction to politicians on how they want their local tax dollars spent.

The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative No. 21-0042A1
January 21, 2022
Summary: The measure limits the voters’ input, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold state and local law violators accountable.

Limiting Voter Authority and Accountability
• Limits voter input. Prohibits local voters from providing direction on how local tax dollars should be spent by prohibiting local advisory measures. • Invalidates Upland decision that allows majority of local voters to pass special taxes. Taxes proposed by the Initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. All measures passed between January 2022 and November 2022 would be invalidated unless reenacted within 12 months.

Restricting Local Fee Authority to Provide Local Services • Franchise fees. Sets new standard for fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property. The standard may significantly restrict the amount oil companies, utilities, gas companies, railroads, garbage companies, cable companies, and other corporations pay for the use of local public property. Rental and sale of local government property must be “reasonable” which must be proved by “clear and convincing evidence.”
• Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” The burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed “actual cost” is changed to “clear and convincing” evidence.

Restricting Authority of State and Local Governments to Issue Fines and Penalties for Violations of Law.
• Requires voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties.

Restricting Local Tax Authority to Provide Local Services • Expanding existing taxes (e.g., UUT, use tax, TOT) to new territory (e.g., annexation) or expanding the base (e.g., new utility service) requires voter approval.
• City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee. • New taxes can be imposed only for a specific time period. • Taxes adopted after January 1, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted.
• All state taxes require majority voter approval.
• Prohibits any surcharge on property tax rate and allocation of property tax to state.

Other Changes
• No fee or charge or exaction regulating vehicle miles traveled can be imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.

17.85 Planning Commission Procedures, Sign Subcommittee Page - 1 DATE: March 1, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: First Reading Ordinance 521 Amending Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 17.85 to update Planning Commission procedures and establish a sign review subcommittee to facilitate sign review in the Historical Commercial (HC) District.

RECOMMENDATION:

Introduce Ordinance 521, waive the first reading, hold a public hearing, and set March 15, 2022, for a second public hearing to consider Amending Angels Municipal Code Chapter 17.85 to update Planning Commission procedures and establish a sign review subcommittee to facilitate sign review in the Historical Commercial (HC) District.

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 22-05 on February 10, 2022, for the above-captioned code revisions.

Currently, new signs in the HC zoning district require Planning Commission approval at a regularly scheduled meeting, held once monthly. Depending on when an application is submitted, this could delay a new business’ ability to authorize printing a new sign. The Planning Commission directed staff to propose a code change establishing a subcommittee to expedite sign reviews in the HC zone and avoid potential delays for new businesses.

The following changes also are included in the proposed amendments:

1. Recognize newly created entitlements from prior code amendments including administrative conditional use permits, administrative site plan reviews, site development permits

2. Update procedures to recognize a 10-day (rather than 15-day) appeal period as previously adopted
Staff Report 17.85 Planning Commission Procedures Page - 2

3. Recognize changes in state law (e.g., removing the requirement for a public speaker to state his/her name)

4. Clarify the roles of various Planning Commission support staff

5. Remove duplicative and conflicting procedures for processing Development Agreements

6. Eliminate references to multiple committees that have not been used by the Planning Commission in favor of a Planning Committee and a Sign Review Committee

7. Establish procedures for notifying adjoining landowners

8. Remove unused and/or outdated procedures
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 policies and programs:

Program 1.A.b Continue to Conduct Reviews of the Angels Camp Municipal Code and General Plan for Consistency
Program 1.F.e Support Business Retention
Policy 8.B.2 Assist in retaining the special character of historic buildings, structures and districts and promote compatible development within historic districts by providing flexible development standards to encourage preservation of historic buildings, structures, sites and districts.

Program 8.B.i Establish a Review Process for Historic Structures Establish a procedure for reviewing applications for preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, alterations or additions to historic structures….Design review procedures for historic structures will consider the following:
a. Design review procedures for applications seeking approval of alterations, rehabilitations or additions to historic resources, for the purpose of issuing Certificates of Appropriateness, or equivalent
b. Criteria for staff approval of certain minor alterations… The proposed revisions will assist in streamlining the development process relative to Planning Commission project review, including expediting sign review in the HC district assisting in implementing these general plan policies and programs. The changes further ensure that the municipal code is internally consistent both with Staff Report 17.85 Planning Commission Procedures Page - 3 the general plan and internally, within the AMC itself. Therefore, the proposed changes are consistent with the general plan and the 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 purposes of the proposed code amendments are related to general plan and internal code consistency. Therefore, the changes will not be 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.

6. The chairperson, when he/she deems it necessary, may limit the amount of time a speaker may use and/or the number of times he/she may speak. However, these limits must apply equally to all speakers at any one meeting or hearing.

After the Commission takes action on resolution, it shall be reviewed by the chair prior to signature by the chair.

B. Difficult Decisions. When differences of opinion exist among commissioners while deliberating an issue or project and a decision appears confused or difficult, the chair shall control order and Staff Report 17.85 Planning Commission Procedures Page - 12 progress by directing commissioners to introduce individual findings of fact related to the decision, each of which may be acted upon separately. In this effort, a difficult decision is broken into components (related facts). It shall be the commission’s intent that a separate action upon each component should lead to a consensus upon the whole decision.

C. Conditions Versus Findings. Most planning commission actions for approval will include conditions of approval. Conditions shall be attached or otherwise incorporated within the resolution. The commission shall make clear on the public record what all the conditions for approval shall be. (Ord. 302 (part), 1989)

The planning commission or city council must then adopt either an exemption, negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration or an environmental impact report before or along with any project approval. Environmental review procedures are set forth in Section 21000 of the California Public Resources Code and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines. Each project staff report to the commission shall include either a recommendation that a project be found to be exempt from CEQA or include an initial study with a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration; or an environmental impact report (EIR).

17.85.105 Historical District Sign Review Committee
A. Historical District Sign Review Committee. A Historical District Sign Review Committee is hereby established to review and take action on applications for sign permits within the Historical Commercial zoning district (HC). The purpose of the committee is to reduce the review and approval time for new signs or alterations of existing signs in the Historical District when scheduling sign review at the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission could hamper business operations.

The committee shall be comprised of two representatives of the Planning Commission, and one alternate, as appointed by the Planning Commission.

B. Procedures for the Historic District Sign Review Committee. Meetings of the Historical District Sign Review Committee shall be held on an as needed basis. The City Planner shall schedule meetings upon receipt of a completed sign application. Scheduling shall comply with California’s open meeting laws.

Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Community Development Department within 10 day of the Historical District Sign Review Committee decision.

No fee shall be charged for such an appeal.

17.85.110 General conduct.

Appearance of conflict or wrongdoing by commissioners shall be avoided. In general, the following rules shall be followed:

Staff Report 17.85 Planning Commission Procedures Page - 14 A. On any action, commissioners have three choices, aye, nay or non-vote. An "aye" vote is in favor of the resolution, a "nay" vote is in opposition to the resolution. For a non-vote, the commissioner may abstain from voting or he/she may disqualify him/herself. An abstention is a "no position." Disqualification should be used if the commissioner has a financial interest. If a commissioner disqualifies him/herself, he/she must refrain from participating in any discussion.

B. A commissioner should exercise care when discussing projects with project applicants outside of the public hearing or meeting. While this is not forbidden by law, it may give an appearance of wrongdoing and it often leads to difficulty in later deliberations. Commissioners should make known any information obtained or discussions held with an applicant, during the meeting and prior to any public hearing on the applicant’s project. (Ord. 302 (part), 1989)

17.85.120 Policy.

All matters of policy not covered by law shall be adopted by resolution with findings and when so adopted, shall be considered the official policy of the planning commission.

17.06.210 Housing Accountability Act – Special Findings for Denying Certain Housing, Emergency Shelter and Farmworker Housing Projects

17.06.210 Housing Accountability Act Special Findings for Denying Certain Housing, Emergency Shelter and Farmworker Housing Projects
A. The City of Angels shall comply with the provisions of the Housing Accountability Act as provided in California Government Code Section 65589.5, and as it may be amended.

B. Special Findings for Denying and Conditioning Very Low-, Low- or Moderate-Income Housing, Farmworker Housing, Emergency Shelters
In accordance with California Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(1-5), and as it may be amended, the City shall not disapprove a housing development project, including farmworker housing as defined in Health and Safety Code subdivision (h) of Section 50199.7, for very low, low-, or moderate-income households, or an emergency shelter, or condition approval in a manner that renders the housing development project infeasible for development for the use of very low, low-, or moderate-income households, or an Housing Accountability and Low Barrier Navigation Ordinance 522 Page - 6 emergency shelter, including through the use of design review standards, unless it makes written findings, based upon a preponderance of the evidence in the record, as to one of the following:

1. The City has adopted a housing element pursuant to this article that has been revised in accordance with Section 65588, is in substantial compliance with this article, and the City has met or exceeded its share of the regional housing need allocation pursuant to Section 65584 for the planning period for the income category proposed for the housing development project, provided that any disapproval or conditional approval shall not be based on any of the reasons prohibited by Government Code Section 65008. If the housing development project includes a mix of income categories, and the jurisdiction has not met or exceeded its share of the regional housing need for one or more of those categories, then this paragraph shall not be used to disapprove or conditionally approve the housing development project. The share of the regional housing need met by the jurisdiction shall be calculated consistently with the forms and definitions that may be adopted by the Department of Housing and Community Development pursuant to Government Code Section 65400. In the case of an emergency shelter, the jurisdiction shall have met or exceeded the need for emergency shelter, as identified pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (a) of Government Code Section 65583. Any disapproval or conditional approval pursuant to this paragraph shall be in accordance with applicable law, rule, or standards; or

2. The housing development project or emergency shelter as proposed would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households or rendering the development of the emergency shelter financially infeasible. As used in this paragraph, a “specific, adverse impact” means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete. The following shall not constitute a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety:
a. Inconsistency with the zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation. b. The eligibility to claim a welfare exemption under subdivision (g) of Section 214 of the Revenue and Taxation Code; or

3. The denial of the housing development project or imposition of conditions is required in order to comply with specific state or federal law, and there is no feasible method to comply without rendering the development unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households or rendering the development of the emergency shelter financially infeasible; or

4. The housing development project or emergency shelter is proposed on land zoned for agriculture or resource preservation that is surrounded on at least two sides by land being used for agricultural or resource preservation purposes, or which does not have adequate water or wastewater facilities to serve the project; or Housing Accountability and Low Barrier Navigation Ordinance 522 Page - 7

5. The housing development project or emergency shelter is inconsistent with both the City’s zoning ordinance and general plan land use designation as specified in any element of the general plan as it existed on the date the application was deemed complete, and the jurisdiction has adopted a revised housing element in accordance with Government Code Section 65588 that is in substantial compliance with this article.

For purposes of this section, a change to the zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation subsequent to the date the application was deemed complete shall not constitute a valid basis to disapprove or condition approval of the housing development project or emergency shelter.
a. This paragraph cannot be utilized to disapprove or conditionally approve a housing development project if the housing development project is proposed on a site that is identified as suitable or available for very low, low-, or moderateincome households in the City’s housing element, and consistent with the density specified in the housing element, even though it is inconsistent with both the jurisdiction’s zoning ordinance and general plan land use designation. b. If the local agency has failed to identify in the inventory of land in its housing element sites that can be developed for housing within the planning period and are sufficient to provide for the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need for all income levels pursuant to Government Code Section 65584, then this paragraph shall not be utilized to disapprove or conditionally approve a housing development project proposed for a site designated in any element of the general plan for residential uses or designated in any element of the general plan for commercial uses if residential uses are permitted or conditionally permitted within commercial designations. In any action in court, the burden of proof shall be on the local agency to show that its housing element does identify adequate sites with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to accommodate the local agency’s share of the regional housing need for the very low, low-, and moderate-income categories. c. If the local agency has failed to identify a zone or zones where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use without a conditional use or other discretionary permit, has failed to demonstrate that the identified zone or zones include sufficient capacity to accommodate the need for emergency shelter identified in Government Code Section 65583 paragraph 7 of subdivision (a), or has failed to demonstrate that the identified zone or zones can accommodate at least one emergency shelter, as required by Government Code paragraph (4) of subdivision (a), then this paragraph shall not be utilized to disapprove or conditionally approve an emergency shelter proposed for a site designated in any element of the general plan for industrial, commercial, or multifamily residential uses. In any action in court, the burden of proof shall be on the local agency to show that its housing element does satisfy the requirements of paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section 65583.

The City of Angels Camp was awarded a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to complete a Wayfinding Plan. The objective of this plan is to promote economic development and thereby create jobs for local residents. As part of the project, three community meetings have been held to collect input on preferences and key community destinations. The following pages include the completed preference boards and compile preferred sign character images selected by participants. These elements have provided the basis for the development of the Wayfinding System Concept.

City of Angels Council Meeting
MARCH 1, 2022 REGULAR AGENDA 7.E
Personnel Allocation Change and Salary Approval, Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
_____________________________________________________________________

CITY CLERK
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 DATE: March 1, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: Personnel Allocation Change and Salary Approval

BACKGROUND
The City of Angels currently has a vacant Director of Administrative Services. Staff is recommending the removal of the Director of Administrative Services and the creation of the Finance Director position. The salary for the new Finance Director position would be the same as the Administrative Service Director, which is currently Range 49 $44.29 -$53.84.

DISCUSSION
An extensive review of the classifications of City Administrator, Administrative Service Director, Administrative Services Officer, and Account Technicians, in addition to interviewing all Department Heads and various staff identified that the City need a position that can provide regular and ongoing internal fiscal and accounting expertise.

Currently, the City is contracted with RAMs (Rogers, Anderson, Malody and Scott, LLP) to provide accounting services. Many of the administrative functions of the Administrative Service Director and provided within the classification of the Administrative Service Officer and the City Administrator. The remaining portions and those included in the RAMs contract can all be facilitated with the new Finance Director position.

The current model has limited the City’s ability to control the timing and flow of information for management to receive timely information to make operational decisions, perform timely review of financial statements for audit delivery, and provide the Council with timely financial reviews. Bringing a highly experienced and knowledgeable position to the City staffing plan would eliminate the need for the RAMs contract after June 30, 2022, saving approximately $100,000 per year. The cost of the position was already contemplated in the budget as the Director of Administration. As such there would be no additional cost to make this change.

The recommendation is to approve the personnel allocation change, removing the Administrative Service Director and creating the Finance Director and setting the salary range for the Finance Director at Range

49. CITY CLERK
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181
