FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve Resolution No. 24-27, directing the preparation of the Engineer's Report for the continuation of the Landscaping & Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek for FY 2024-25

RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve Resolution No. 24-27, directing the preparation of the Engineer's Report for the continuation of the Landscaping & Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek for FY 2024-25.

BACKGROUND
The City of Angels Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 – Greenhorn Creek (District) was approved by property owners in an assessment ballot proceeding and formed by the City Council on August 8, 2022, through the Landscape and Lighting District Act of 1972 (Act). The District, which repealed and replaced the existing Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 assessment, was created to fund enhanced maintenance of landscaping, lighting, cultural and wildlife areas, local infrastructure, environmental mitigation services, and related improvements within the Greenhorn Creek development. Every year an Engineer’s Report is prepared to establish the budget for the improvements listed in the report.

DISCUSSION
In order for the continuation of the assessments, the Act requires an annual Engineer’s Report be prepared by a licensed professional engineer. Since 2013, the District Engineer’s Report has been prepared by SCI Consulting Group from Fairfield, California. Resolution No. 24-27, directs SCI to prepare the Engineer’s Report, which is the first step in a three-step process required by the Act to continue the annual assessments for FY 2024-25.

The Engineer’s Report, based upon information provided by the City Engineer, will determine the amount of work or improvements that will be performed in the coming year and distribute the cost of that work to residents and businesses in the District. Once the report is compiled, it will be presented to the Council along with a recommendation to set a public hearing on the assessment. That public hearing is the final step in the approval process. Upon completion of the public hearing, the City Council may adopt a resolution accepting the Engineer’s Report and levying the continued annual assessment. 6C

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The expected costs of preparing the Engineer’s Report by SCI Consulting Group are included in the 2024- 25 budget from the Assessment District fund, a non-General Fund source. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact attributable to the approval of this item. The approval of Resolution No. 24-27 is the initial step in the process that would provide for levying the annual assessments for fiscal year 2024-25.

TO: City of Angels City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: Rural Recreation and Tourism Program - Utica Park Lightner Mine Expansion Project Update RECOMMENDATION:

Acknowledge and accept updates.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

A4: Economic Development: Promote a wide variety of economic opportunities consistent with the city's social, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic resources. The proposed Rural Recreation and Tourism grant park project is intended to increase tourism through park enhancements including a stage, historical (cultural) interpretation trail, and improved pavilion for outdoor events. A new children’s playground, adult/teen exercise equipment, bocce courts, hardcourts, improved pavilion and stage are intended to encourage social interactions with local theatre productions, local musical performances, movies in the park and enhanced outdoor spaces for other local events.

A5: Economic Development: Maintain and enhance the city's economic vitality while conserving the city's social, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic resources. See above.

B2 Community Identity: Design new development to be compatible with the natural, scenic, and cultural resources and rural character of Angels Camp. The Community Stakeholders Design Committee will assist with park design to ensure compatibility with cultural resources and rural character.

C7: Public Facilities and Services: Maintain or increase the levels of service currently available within Angels Camp for park facilities and infrastructure. The project will increase the size of Utica Park by 3.8± acres, add or improve numerous park amenities, and upgrade and expand infrastructure increasing the level of park facilities available to all age groups and ability levels for residents and visitors.

BACKGROUND:

Consistent with direction from the City Council, attached is an update on the above-captioned project through March 13, 2024.
• Staff met with Boyer on March 5, 2024, to discuss a revised timeline contingent upon receipt of the final geotechnical report by March 21, 2024. Another meeting is anticipated prior to 3/19/24. Completion of the bulk of park construction remains on schedule for Thanksgiving, 2024; however, construction initiation is deferred until after March 21, 2024, to allow for the findings of GeoCon’s geotechnical evaluation to be incorporated into project design. Mobilization is projected at approximately 60 days following receipt of GeoCon’s findings. • A park subcommittee meeting to review parcourse equipment and interpretive signage is scheduled for 3/20/24 at noon. A special meeting is anticipated to review a final site layout once received. • Staff held an update meeting with SPEC on 3/12/24 in anticipation of providing final approval for the children’s playground and to coordinate delivery and receipt of equipment with the construction schedule. • The park’s Constant Contact e-mail notification database created for persons interested in park updates, newsletters, status reports includes 176 individuals. Please send an e-mail to [email protected] with a subject line “Utica Park” to receive notifications.

COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346 • Parties interested in sponsoring a memorial tree or a memorial bench are encouraged to submit their name to [email protected]. To date, there are four individuals expressing interest. Signing up does not commit individuals to a purchase. Interested persons will be notified once costs are determined. • GeoCon completed on-site trenching and drilling for potential geotechnical issues on 2/21/24. GeoCon’s report with recommendations is due 3/21/24. Based on results, final design plans will be prepared. Preliminarily, no large voids were identified during trenching and drilling.

The recent opening adjacent to the parking lot drain is under investigation. The drain was recently cleared of a debris clog followed by heavy rains.
• The next meeting of the interpretive sign committee is March 26, 2024. Committee members are Judith Marvin (historian), Tad Folendorf (historian), James G. Respess, Ph.D. (graphic design), Amy Augustine, Rebecca Callen. Interpretive sign language for the Mother Lode Belt, Lightner Mine and Utica Mine has been drafted.

The committee now moves to people associated with the mines and historical figures from Angels Camp history, nationalities of miners represented in Angels Camp, and an Angels Camp history overview. QR codes are also proposed for various locations and on interpretive signs to provide additional information (e.g., Utica Shaft). The first batch of signage will be presented to the Community Stakeholders Design Committee approximately 3/20/24. • Staff is reaching out to an alternative contractor to construct park benches from the walnut trees removed from the park.
• Staff is requesting that anyone with a brand from a local ranch contact [email protected]. The city would like to incorporate local brands into one or more of the benches being constructed for the park. • Monuments, Dedications, and Relocations. Monument relocation may be commencing for some park items.

Staff has already or will be meeting with all individuals or organizations associated with each monument to ensure they are handled properly. Surviving relatives of fallen soldiers on the veteran’s memorial plaque have been contacted individually and their input will be followed for any potential relocation and rededication. Boyer is aware of all restrictions related to moving and conserving park monuments. • The “gateway” monumentation (mining equipment) near Napa was reviewed by the City of Angels Planning Commission. The Planning Commission approved relocating the equipment. Interpretive signage for the equipment will be added at its new location.
• Boyer has contacted a monument expert to evaluate the condition and make recommendations for conserving the Mark Twain Statue. Based on the children’s playground design, it is expected that the statue will be relocated.

Staff is coordinating with the Museum to identify additional funding sources for rehabilitating the Mark Twain statue.

City Council requested a presentation on the workflow regarding the Planning and Building Workflow STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

A4 – Promote a wide variety of economic opportunities consistent with the city’s social, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic resources.

BACKGROUND:

From 2018 to present changes have occurred within the Planning and Building Department that would benefit from a presentation with City Council.

DISCUSSION:

The city has experienced significant changes in its approach to managing development services over the past few years. Up until 2018/2019, the city maintained full-time engineering, building inspection, planning, and administrative staff. However, due to a reduction in development activity, it became unsustainable to keep these positions staffed full-time. This led to a strategic shift towards contracting out these services, except for a critical role retained in-house. This discussion aims to evaluate the current state of the city’s development services, the effectiveness of the contracting model, and considerations for a potential future transition to a hybrid staffing model.

Current Staffing Model
As development activities diminished, the city made a pivotal decision to outsource various functions within the development services department. This decision retained only one in-house position: the Administrative Services Specialist. This role is integral to the city's development process, handling a wide range of responsibilities including intake coordination, revenue management, and facilitating communication across various stakeholders.

Contracted Services:
- CSG: Assumes the roles of Building Official, Plan Review, and Building Inspector. This entity offers flexibility by conducting in-house plan reviews for simpler projects and maintaining an on-site presence two days a week.
- Augustine Planning: Appointed as the City Planner, also available on-site two days a week. - Dewberry: Acts as the City Engineer, providing services as required by specific city or private projects to ensure compliance and adherence to city standards.

Observations and Future Directions
As the city stands on the cusp of a new development phase, it's imperative to reassess the staffing model to ensure it aligns with future needs. While the current outsourcing model has served its purpose during a period of minimal development, early indicators suggest an uptick in development activities. Although it is premature to revert entirely to a full-time in-house model, considerations for a hybrid approach are warranted.

Proposed Hybrid Model:
- Introduction of In-house Inspections and Support Staff: The upcoming development trends necessitate the incorporation of more in-house inspections and the addition of support staff. This staff would not only perform administrative tasks but also engage in higher-level analytical and technical functions currently managed by the City Administrator and contracted entities. - Engineering Coordinator Role: A critical addition would be an engineering coordinator. This role would bridge the gap between administrative tasks and technical engineering needs, facilitating more efficient project management and coordination.

The city's development services are at a critical juncture. With development activity poised to increase, a strategic reassessment of our staffing model is essential. Moving towards a hybrid model offers a balanced approach, leveraging the flexibility of contracted services while building in-house capacity to manage more complex and frequent development projects. This transition will require careful planning, assessment of current and projected development trends, and a clear understanding of the city's longterm goals. The next 10 months present a crucial window for planning and preparation, ensuring the city is well-positioned to support its development trajectory effectively.

RE: RESOLUTION 24-24 TO DESIGNATE THE CITY PLANNER AS THE SUBORDINATE

OFFICER TO MAKE DETERMINATIONS OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE OR NECESSITY

REGARDING ALCOHOL AND BEVERAGE CONTROL (ABC) LICENSE APPLICATIONS

WHERE UNDUE CONCENTRATION EXISTS

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution 24-24.

STRATEGIC AND GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
A4 Economic Development Promote a wide variety of economic opportunities consistent with the city's social, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic resources. Adopting the resolution will assist the tourism industry by facilitating issuance of ABC licenses.

BACKGROUND
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has requested that the City of Angels designate a subordinate officer to make findings of Public Convenience or Necessity consistent with Section 23958.4 of the California Business and Professions Code (Attachment B) February 22, 2024.

In the past, the Planning Commission and City Council made this determination at a public hearing. The City of Angels Planning Commission and City Council have consistently made this determinations of public convenience or necessity based on the following findings:

1. The sale of beer and wine in Calaveras County is closely linked to the wine industry and growing beermaking industry. Therefore, the County, including the City of Angels, requires an increased number of on-sale beer and wine sales licenses to support this important tourism and economic development tool.

2. The population-based licensing limits fail to consider the significant population increases that occur from tourism. Additional beer and wine licenses are necessary to serve the increased populations supported by the City’s tourism economy.

COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346 ABC Licenses Page - 2
The City Planner issues administrative conditional use permits. Therefore, the City Planner is the logical designee to be designated as the subordinate officer to make determinations of public convenience or necessity regarding ABC license applications where undue concentration exists.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
The proposed change authorizing the City Planner to make findings of Public Convenience or Necessity are exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the state guidelines for implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because the proposed changes are related to processing applications and will result in no physical change to the environment. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the project will have no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment therefore, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT
None. Fees are charged for administrative conditional use permits to cover the costs of notifying adjacent landowners and preparing the permit. The current fee is: $332.00.

the city's social, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic resources. Adopting the resolution will facilitate preservation of downtown historic buildings.

General Plan Consistency
General Plan 2020 Chapter 8 is the Cultural Resources Element. The element establishes a blueprint for the preservation, promotion and recognition of historic structures. The following provides a summary of goals, policies, and programs applicable to this item.

8.B.3 Recognize the importance of cultural resources management to the city's economic health and development. Promote the continued private ownership and utilization of historic properties by providing economic and zoning incentives to stabilize and improve the value of properties designated as historic resources, and strengthen the economy of Angels Camp by enhancing the city's attraction to residents and encouraging heritage tourism.

8.B.4 Emphasize the provision of incentives to encourage the retention, reuse and restoration of historic structures.

8.B.5 Establish the tools necessary for the city to pursue funding sources and develop incentive programs essential to the preservation of the city's cultural resources.

Implementation Programs

8.A.e Prepare an Historic Resources Inventory

8.A.g Identify and Designate Historic Districts

8.B.a Prepare a Cultural Resources Management Ordinance (CRM)

8.B.b Provide Historic Preservation Incentives

8.B.m Pursue Certified Local Government (CLG) Designation

8.B.y Encourage Rehabilitation of Old Buildings

BACKGROUND
As part of the city’s Vacant Properties Program, some vacant historic structures were identified as potentially requiring limited-to-extensive rehabilitation before they may return to productive use. City staff has been on the lookout for appropriate funding sources.

A. RESOLUTION 24-25 Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Subgrant Program The Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization subgrant program is a federal program well suited to the city’s goal of securing funds that may assist owners in rehabilitating qualified properties in the historical commercial district to return them to productive use. A maximum of $750,000 may be awarded through the program. Qualifying properties include those that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places or determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Properties must be located in a rural area. The goal of the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants Program is to fund subgrant PROGRAMS that support the rehabilitation of historic properties to foster economic development of rural communities.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346 Historic Preservation -3
For this grant funding, which would be overseen by the city, with awards made through a competitive process, the subgrant program proposed is the Main Street Commercial Revitalization Program. The program will fund preservation projects for historic properties to include architectural/engineering services and physical preservation.

The city has a qualified inventory that identifies buildings on and eligible for listing that may qualify for these funds. The “Historic Resources Inventory and Evaluations Historic Commercial Center, Angels Camp, Calaveras County, California” was completed pursuant to Community Development Block Grant #08-EDEF5782 in 2011. The inventory identified two buildings within the study boundaries (the downtown historic district) listed on the National Register of Historic Places, five additional buildings identified as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places and/or the California Register of Historic Places and 21 more buildings were identified as potential contributors to a National or California register district. In addition, there are two additional buildings in the city limits that are listed or qualify for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Attachment A identifies all currently inventoried properties that may qualify for this program.

B. STAFF DIRECTION
The grant program discussed above, in combination with the recently adopted Angels Camp Register of Cultural Resources, Vacant Properties Program, and the Mills Act; are all aimed at promoting “Heritage Tourism”.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation defines cultural heritage tourism as. “traveling to experience the places, artifacts, and activities that authentically represent. the stories and people of the past and present.” In short, for Angels Camp, the historic downtown is a destination in large part because of its historical character.

Or, as stated in the preamble to the city’s Historical Commercial zoning district:

The city council finds and declares …. The historic character and distinctive architecture … of the historic district as a whole, have attracted tourists and visitors to the city in great numbers, thereby augmenting the economy and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants. The preservation of such places and buildings and of the architectural appearance of the surrounding properties within the district is essential to the economic and cultural life of the city.

Additional efforts have been identified by staff that could further enhance the economic development of the downtown historic district through implementation of programs already identified in General Plan 2020. Staff is requesting direction from the City Council to pursue some or all of the following as part of a comprehensive program:

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346 Historic Preservation -4
C. Pursue National Register (and/or California Register) listing for structures individually eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places subject to landowner approval D. Prepare a recognition program, by providing city plaques, recognizing structures listed on the Angels Camp Register of Cultural Resources
E. Pursue grant funds to inventory and evaluate buildings adjacent to the historic district for potential listing on the local, state, or federal registers (e.g. the Annex, multiple blocks adjacent to South Main Street) to expand eligibility for funding and rehabilitation programs F. Pursue designation as a Certified Local Government (CLG) to assist in acquiring funding for inventories, and providing local input on historic preservation for federally funded projects.

The preceding are relatively self-explanatory, except for CLG status. The 1980 amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, provided for the establishment of a Certified Local Government Program (CLG) to encourage the direct participation of local governments in the identification, evaluation, registration, and preservation of historic properties within their jurisdictions and promote the integration of local preservation interests and concerns into local planning and decision-making processes. The CLG program is a partnership among local governments, the State of California (OHP), and the National Park Service (NPS) which is responsible for administering the National Historic Preservation Program. As part of the CLG Program, federal grants are awarded annually to local governments to assist with historic preservation programs (i.e., being a CLG opens up some limited additional funding to local governments). CLGs require establishment of an historic preservation review commission with each member representing a different area of expertise (e.g., architecture, archaeology, history etc.). If the Council has interest in this program, staff can provide a more detailed presentation.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to Section 15331, Class 31 of the state and local guidelines for the implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act; projects limited to maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction of historical resources in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings (1995), are exempt. Projects undertaken pursuant to programs described herein would be subject to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and, therefore, exempt.

FISCAL IMPACT
It is estimated that up to $10,000 in fees from a professional architectural historian would be required to prepare a National Register nomination for establishing the downtown historic district as a National Register District (and assuming some volunteer assistance).

The cost of recognition plaques is unknown. At this time, staff is asking whether or not the City Council wishes to pursue the program. If so, staff will gather cost estimates for Council consideration.

RE: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION ON GRAFFITI RESPONSE IN THE CITY RECOMMENDATION:

Discussion and direction on graffiti response in the city.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

A1 – Maintain, and where feasible enhance the city’s appearance BACKGROUND:

Like many jurisdictions, the city has issues with graffiti.

DISCUSSION:

The city has struggled with graffiti around our region. Currently, the city has several codes section dealing with graffiti. Based on input from City Council, staff would bring back a Final Policy, Program Charter, budget amendment and resolution to a future meeting.

1.17.100 Public Nuisance – Graffiti:

It is unlawful and it shall be a public nuisance for any person owning, leasing, occupying or having charge or possession of any premises or property in the city to maintain such premises or property in such a manner that has any inscription, word, figure, picture, design or other graphic representation prohibited by law or unauthorized by the owner or person in possession of the subject property, which is marked, etched, scratched, drawn, painted or otherwise applied on any building or other public or private facility, and can be seen by any person using any public right-of-way. "Graffiti" includes, but is not limited to:

A. Any authored inscription, word, figure, mark, or design that is written, marked, etched, scratched, drawn, or painted on any real or personal property.

B. Representations of any gang-type group.

C. Projection of threats.

D. Insults to any race, creed or religion.

E. Expressions of profanity.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
F. Any vulgar, crude, obscene or offensive words or images. (Ord. 514 §1 (Att. B), 2021)

1.17.200 Public Nuisance – Abandoned and/or vacant buildings or structures A. It is unlawful and it shall be a public nuisance for any person owning, leasing, occupying or having charge or possession of any premises or property in the city to abandon or vacate, or cause to be abandoned or vacated, any building or structure, so that:

4. The inside or outside of the premises contains any waste, rubbish, debris, excessive vegetation or graffiti; or

1.17.270 Abatement/enforcement cost recovery--Establishing costs.

When proceedings under the city of Angels Municipal Code result in the correction of a code violation or in a final judgment that a violation exists, all costs of such proceedings and abatement incurred by the city may be assessed against the responsible party, as the person responsible for the code violation; or the property owner against whom the cost of abatement is being charged or against whose property an abatement lien or special assessment may be imposed for the cost of abatement.

A. Costs. Such costs may include, but are not limited to, those actual costs incurred in inspecting the property, publication, mailing and posting of notices, physical abatement through demolition, repair or replacement of buildings or removal of graffiti or other inscribed material, law enforcement costs directly related to nuisance abatement, and all other costs incurred by the city in initiating administrative proceedings and legal actions to enforce abatement activities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. It is the purpose of this section to allow the city to assess its costs for correcting any violation against the property, subject to any limitations imposed under state law.

17.06.210 Vacant buildings.

A. Findings. The city council finds that vacant commercial and industrial buildings are a major source of blight and health and safety problems in the city. This is particularly true when the owner of the vacant building fails to maintain and manage the building to ensure that it does not become a liability to the neighborhood. Buildings left unattended can become occupied by unauthorized persons. Use of vacant buildings by unauthorized occupants who use open flames for heat or cooking creates a risk of fire for the vacant building and adjacent properties. Vacant properties are often used as dumping grounds for junk and debris and are often overgrown with weeds and grass. Vacant buildings discourage economic development and limit appreciation of property values.

CITY HALL
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
D. Maintenance. Vacant buildings and all the associated surrounding property shall be maintained, actively monitored, and secured in accordance with the following standards:

8. Graffiti. Remove all graffiti on the property within forty-eight hours of placement on the property.

1.16.040 Enforcement responsibility--City personnel.

Regardless of other titles held by an individual, and except as otherwise specified in this code, the responsible city personnel shall be acting as a code enforcement officer when undertaking any of the following enforcement actions:

E. Disruptive Activities, Graffiti, Vehicle Enforcement. The police chief shall have enforcement authority regarding any violation of the city of Angels Municipal Code, in particular, those relating to disruptive activities, graffiti, and vehicle enforcement on public property and highways. In addition to other remedies provided herein, police officers also have the authority to issue criminal citations as per Section

1.16.140.

Currently, as graffiti is noticed by staff, they add it to their maintenance list and will cleanup as they have time, unless it is an immediate issue of full visibility. As an example, Greenhorn Creek had an issue of graffiti throughout the public and private areas. Both city staff (Public Works and Fire) and Greenhorn Creek LLD and homeowners participated in an immediate cleanup effort. The public is not filing complaints about graffiti and instead rumors of graffiti or posts on Facebook will occur. The Police Department cannot document and Public Works is unaware if complaints are not filed timely.

Staff are recommending a Graffiti Notification webform that can be submitted online or taken over the phone. This information would then be shared with Police, Public Works, and staff charged with the response plan implementation.

Staff would like to establish a “City of Angels Graffiti Response Plan”. This plan would work on prevention, rapid removal, community engagement, enforcement and legal framework to build a comprehensive response plan to address this type of blight.

In addition, we would ask for a budget allocation to help with supplies for removal, outreach materials, monitoring, and enforcement. We currently have zero budgeted for this program.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
Staff are looking at security cameras to be placed in zones that are prone to graffiti and destruction: Parks, certain roadways and bridges, and downtown areas. This would be an initial investment into the cameras and ongoing cellular and licensing costs.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• Cameras would be a range of $5,000-15,000 for 5-10 cameras • Cellular cards $35/ month per camera/ month ($2,100 (5) - $4200(10)) • Licensing $199 per year per camera $995 (5) - $1,990 (10) Upfront Costs: $5,000-15,000
Annual costs: $3,095 - $6,190
Compare these costs to the graffiti and theft at Gateway Park that has damages of up to $10,000 with no identified perpetrator.

Paint and Supplies: $500-1,000 per year
Outreach Materials: $500 per year
Diversion programs: $2500-$5000 per year
Cleanup Day Costs: $250-500 per event. Lunch, smocks, Participation “I Love Angels” T-Shirts/ Swag ATTACHMENTS:

RE: Proposal to Change the Start Time for City Council Meetings and Approve Resolution No. 24-26
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that City Council approve Resolution No. 24-26 changing the start time for City Council meetings from 6:00pm to 5:00pm, effective next month BACKGROUND:

The current start time of 6:00pm for our City Council meeting has been in place for several years.

Recently, it was mentioned by City Council that starting our meetings earlier could help reduct the occurrence of late-night sessions.

DISCUSSION:

The current 6:00pm start time often leads to meeting that extend late in the evening. This can present challenges for residents, particularly those with family or work commitments, who wish to participate fully in these important civic discussions.

Changing the start time to 5:00pm offers several benefits. Firstly, it can increase public participation as it accommodates more individuals who may have had scheduling conflicts with the later time. Secondly, it can enhance the efficiency of our meetings by starting earlier when participants are likely to be more alert and focused. Thirdly, an earlier start time can improve accessibility for those with work obligations, ensuring they have the opportunity to attend and contribute to discussions.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

None.
