6 RECREATION DIVISION
The Recreation Division provides a wide array of public recreational programs and community events throughout the year. In addition, the Recreation staff coordinates the City’s Special Events, Film, and Plaza Vending Permits and the Bayside Park Community Garden applications and Farm Shares as well as overseeing the Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center programming and staff.

Recreation Division staff is responsible for all City facility and field rentals including the Arcata Community Center, D Street Neighborhood Center, Redwood Lodge and Lounge, Redwood Park Picnic area, the Arcata Ballpark and Sports Complex, Pacific Union Field, Larson Park tennis courts, bocce ball courts and gazebo, and Library Conference Room.

The Division also serves as a clearinghouse for information regarding activities and services offered by other City Departments and local service providers. The Recreation Division employs four full-time and numerous part-time staff. Community volunteers support City programs including Youth Basketball, Drop-In Activities, Community Events, Bayside Park Farm and Play Center.

Programs, Classes, and Community Events
The Recreation Division offers both seasonal programs such as Summer Camp and Youth Basketball as well as year-round programs including Gymnastics, Ceramics, Play Center, Drop-In Activities, and a variety of contract classes.

The City of Arcata Recreation Division complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination based on a disability. The Recreation Division makes reasonable accommodations in recreation programs to enable participation by individuals with a disability who meet essential eligibility requirements.

Recreation programs offered by Arcata Recreation are available in the most integrated setting appropriate for each individual.

Recreation Division programs and classes generated $328,986 in total revenue during 2024. Many children and adults register for classes or programs multiple times throughout the year. Since its inception in 2012, online registration continues to be well utilized.

7 Creating Community
Bayside Park Community Garden
Individuals and families can rent 4x25-foot garden plots to grow organic fruit, vegetables, and flowers for non-commercial use. Each plot rented for $100 per year for Arcata Residents and $113.50 for non-residents. There are 36 garden plots and they were all rented in 2024.

Kid’s Bike Rodeo
In 2024, the Annual Arcata Kid’s Bike Rodeo was cancelled due to Recreation Division and Engineering Department lack of staff capacity and our department’s focus on other projects. The Kid’s Bike Rodeo will return in May of 2025 for Bike Month Humboldt.

Challenge Course
Located at Redwood Park, the course is a community resource for team building, personal development, and challenging one’s experiences as a leader or teammate. In 2024, we hosted Seaforth Montessori and led about 30 of their students through the course.

Holiday Craft Market
The 23rd Annual Holiday Craft Market was held on Saturday, December 14 and Sunday, December 15. Hand crafted items were donated by vendors and awarded to lucky raffle ticket winners. Approximately 1,750 community members attended the two-day event. Shoppers enjoyed browsing for jewelry, hand crafted clothing, hand-blown glass, puzzles, pottery and much more. This year’s entertainment showcased five volunteer music performances. The proceeds from the event, totaling $8,833, supported the Arcata Recreation Youth Development Scholarship Fund.

8 PROMOTING HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Drop-In Activities
This year, Recreation Division Drop-In programs averaged 374 participants monthly, an increase from 223 last year. Youth and adults participated in basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, pickleball, hula dancing, song circle, and ukulele. Arcata Community Center employees oversee most programming at this facility with some support from City volunteers for table tennis, hula dance and ukulele club. The fee is $3 per drop-in session or participants can purchase a $20 punch card good for 10 sessions.

Gymnastics
The Arcata Recreation Gymnastics program offers an affordable, high-quality program to youth ages 5-12yrs.

Students are coached through skill progressions developed by USA Gymnastics. The program typically offers six sessions throughout the year with four different levels of classes. During 2024, we served 269 gymnasts, most enrolling in multiple sessions.

Special Olympics Tournaments and Young Athletes Program In Fall of 2024, in collaboration with Special Olympics of Northern California and Arcata High School, the Special Olympic Bocce Tournament returned to Larson Park. Throughout the day there were about 150 participants, spectators, teachers and volunteers from Fortuna High, Eureka High, McKinleyville High, and Arcata High School. There were a total of 38 rounds of bocce played between 19 different teams.

Youth Basketball
The Arcata Youth Basketball League enrolled 346 participants in the 1 st
-6
th grades on 36 teams. In all, there
were 6 divisions split by grade and gender. The program hired 15 part time staff during the season as referees and scorekeepers, three building supervisors were used to support the facilities, and brought on 62 volunteers consisting of parents and community members to help coach each team, some teams having both head and assistant coaches.

Registration fees of $85 per player ($98.50 non-resident) and $325 sponsor fees provide the revenue for this program. The program had a total revenue of $36,650.

Sponsors are recognized through having their name on team shirts and advertising in return for a plaque with team photo.

All teams practice weekly at the Arcata Community Center and play games every Saturday. In addition to the Arcata Community Center, Jacoby Creek School and Sunny Brae Middle School were used for games, using about 6 hours of gym time at Jacoby creek and about 30 hours at Sunny Brae Middle School.

9 FOSTERING YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Adventure Camp
Adventure Camp continued to be a top choice for campers seeking outdoor excitement and hands-on learning. Running for nine weeks in the summer of 2024, the camp nearly reached capacity each week, with a total of 170 enrollments.

Each themed week was designed to build practical outdoor skills through activities like shelter building, knot tying, hiking, and orienteering. Campers also learned about track identification, fire safety, basic first aid, and orienteering. The experience was rounded out with games, scavenger hunts, and camper-led skits—bringing creativity and camaraderie into every week.

The Division offers camps for youth ages 5-12 during school breaks. In 2024, we offered a Thanksgiving Break, two weeks of Winter Break, Presidents Week and Spring Break. Camps take place at the Teen Room in the Arcata Community Center. The camp offers full-day care with extended care starting at 8 a.m. and ending at 5:30 p.m. at no additional charge. This successful camp enables registrants to participate in arts and crafts projects, games and activities. Revenue and participation totals vary year to year as the dates of the second week of Winter Break Camp fluctuate and dictate whether camp takes place before or after the New Year.

Art Camp
Budding artists gain exposure to a wide variety of art mediums including painting, ceramics, upcycling, book making and others as well as art history and theory. Campers bring home a plethora of unique art projects at the end of each week.

Leader-In-Training (L.I.T.), ages 13-17 years, work with youth ages 5-14 years, helping plan and lead activities, games and more. Registrants, gain firsthand work experience through the L.I.T. Program. Leaders-in-Training earn community service hours while acting as role models to our campers. Teens leave the program with job experience, professional references, and a summer of positive memories. All summer camps utilized the help of L.I.T.s. During the summer of 2024, there were more than 43 L.I.T.s, most of which served multiple weeks and multiple camps.

Jr. Explorer Science Camp Marsh and Forest
These camps offered at the Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center and Redwood Lounge focus on environmental educational lessons and emersion of campers into our local Marsh and Community Forest.

Play Center
In partnership with First 5 Humboldt, the Arcata Play Center offers a safe comfortable environment for families to meet and share parenting and play experiences with their infants/children up to five years of age. Play Center meets at the D Street Neighborhood Center Monday through Wednesdays from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Play Center was closed the last week of each month. A $3 daily drop-in donation per child is requested but not required. Throughout the year, families are provided with resources addressing nutrition, car seat safety, health and wellness, parenting support and developmental stages. We offer engaging special events and themed days that help connect families to outside resources and provide new experiences. Examples include visits from the library for story time, touch-a-truck day with the Arcata Fire Department, Music Together, Halloween dress up, Friendsgiving, children’s yoga and more! Redwood Day Camp
The summer of 2024 brought Redwood Day Camp back in FULL SWING for the first time since the COVID shut down. Campers ages 5-12 took full advantage of the brand-new playground and beauty of Redwood Park playing games, creating crafts, singing camp songs, hiking the trails and more. We served upwards of 90 campers per week during the nine weeks of summer. Full day campers enjoy swimming at the Arcata Community Pool on Tuesdays and throughout the summer campers participate in a variety of walking field

11 trips including visiting the Cal Pol Natural History Museum and a Pirate scavenger hunt visiting several local businesses as well as other highlights. On Friday afternoons families are invited to join us for Redwood Round Up where campers perform skits and silly songs.

Skate Camp
Skate Camp provides a dynamic, inclusive environment for youth ages 6–12 to build skateboarding skills, make new friends, and express their personal style. This half-day camp emphasizes park safety, etiquette, and both street and vert riding techniques. In 2024, the City offered seven weeklong sessions, each nearly reaching the 20-camper maximum.

A continued partnership with AMPT Skate Shop supports staffing for the program and helps connect families with essential gear. In turn, campers are encouraged to support the local skateboarding community by shopping at AMPT for their equipment needs.

Contract Classes
The City partners with contracted instructors to deliver engaging specialty classes, with instructors receiving 60% of class revenue. The remaining 40% helps cover costs such as advertising, facility use, registration, and program administration.

In 2024, Matthew Olson continued his successful monthly Jujitsu program and the City expanded its offerings with the addition of two new classes: Pickleball and Chocolate Making Fun. Pickleball, taught by Enrique Esparza II, quickly became a community favorite. Over the course of the year, nine six-session courses were offered for both beginner and intermediate players, with multiple concurrent sessions regularly filling to capacity.

Chocolate Making Fun, led by Sandra Nakashima, a seasoned chocolatier with over 20 years of experience, also proved popular. Of the six two-hour workshops offered, five reached full enrollment. Participants learned to create a variety of handcrafted confections while gaining insight into chocolate-making techniques from a passionate and knowledgeable instructor.

Youth Development Scholarship Fund
The Youth Development Scholarship Fund provides a 30% fee reduction to youth from qualifying low-income families. The fund relies solely upon grants, donations, and fundraisers to provide this invaluable service to the community. During 2024, 51 youth participants received scholarships providing a total of $5,505 in assistance.

These children attended Gymnastics classes, Youth Basketball, and Summer Camps. In 2024, Humboldt Sponsors and Humboldt Area Foundation donated to this fund. Proceeds from The Holiday Craft Market also support the Youth Development Scholarship Fund.

Field Rentals and Use
The Parks Division maintains nine sports fields and courts that are used by a variety of groups for practice, tournaments, and league play in softball, baseball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, tennis, pickleball and bocce. The City operates four baseball/softball fields: The Arcata Ball Park, Sports Complex North and South and Pacific Union Park. Multi-use fields include the Pacific Union Field (two “under 12”/one full-size soccer) and the Sports Complex (two full-size fields/one “under 12”).

The City accommodated 1,738.50 hours of field time in 2024. A wet spring pushed back some of the March and April field requests that came in, these requests were not reflected in “rainouts” which only occur once the fields are open to the public in the Spring. Often groups call in to check availability prior to submitting a written request and are informed it is already scheduled. This unmet need is not reflected in the table below.

This year there were 0 rainouts.

15 Many organizations use the fields maintained by the City including: Humboldt Crabs, Arcata High School (AHS), Humboldt State University (HSU), College of the Redwoods, Mad River Softball Association (MRSA), Humboldt Soccer League (HSL), Eagles Baseball, Football Club Samoa, USTA/Humboldt Tennis, US Coast Guard, Temple Beth El, North Coast Preparatory Academy, Humboldt Fast Pitch Softball Association, Pacific Union School, and Mad River Youth Soccer League (MRYSL), Mad River United (MRYSL), Challenger Sports Soccer Camp, and Sequoia F.C.

Building Rentals and Use
The City provides seven buildings for rent: The Arcata Community Center, Redwood Lodge, Redwood Lounge, Arcata Marsh Interpretive Center, D Street Neighborhood Center, the Library Conference Room and the Judo Hut. The Parks and Facility Division maintains these buildings as well as City Hall, the Library, Transit Building, Arcata Resource Center and Public Works Annex.

During 2024, city buildings were used for many community and private events. Those events were held at the Arcata Community Center, Redwood Lodge, Library Conference Room, Redwood Lounge, Redwood Park Picnic Area, Larson Park Gazebo, D St. Neighborhood Center, and Judo Hut. City Hall and the Transit Center provide daily services to the community. In Fall of 2024, renovations took place in the library conference room to add a baby changing station and make other necessary ADA upgrades. The facility was blocked off to reservations at the end of October through the rest of the calendar year.

Table F shows the number of hours each facility was used, the revenue generated from building rentals and the number of people attending. For a complete breakdown of facility use by building, see Appendix 3.

Annual Facility Use, Reservations, and Revenues - Table F

16 Arcata Community Center
The Arcata Community Center was the site for
many programs, activities, and community rentals
this year. The facility experienced both new user
groups and renters that reserve the space every
year. NPA School used the gym on a weekly basis
for their P.E. classes, other sports groups
transitioned some of their outdoor activities inside
during rainy months, and the Humboldt County
Flea Market hosted an event once a month. The
Recreation Division also held many classes and programs while other departments and joint-use partners used the building as well. The Senior Resource Center serves meals 4 days a week and offers a variety of senior activities. Some of the large events hosted at the community center this year include Seed Exchange, Godwit Days, Arcata High School Safe n’ Sober, Fiber Fair, Humboldt County Mycology Fair, and Humboldt County Elections.

See Table G, for a breakdown of the hours used by facility users. *Total hours are based on individual room usage in Arcata Community Center (Teen Room, Arts and Crafts Room, Multipurpose Room, Senior Room, and Kitchen) and therefore may differ from overall facility use.

Special Events
Special Events are community-coordinated events at City parks and facilities. Special Event Permits are required for any event at a city park that requires road closures, or extra city services. The Recreation Division handles the permitting process and coordinates setup and maintenance with the Parks Division. The Parks Division is responsible for facility and park preparation, coordination electrical and water use, and facility/park clean up. The engineering department creates Traffic Control Plans for road closures while the Streets Division provides barricades and signage for the street closures. The Police Department may step up patrols in neighborhoods or in some cases assign officers to events.

Many of these events raise funds for local causes, non-profit agencies, or unique community needs. In addition to raising funds, special events such as Kinetic Sculpture Race and Fairy Festival give Arcata its unique flavor and attract many visitors annually. Other large events included the Arcata Bay Oyster Festival North Country Fair, July Fourth Jubilee, and the I Block Party. See Appendix 4 for a complete list of all Special Events in 2024.

Film Permits
The Recreation Division handles the film permitting process for the City of Arcata. This year there was a big Hollywood film that shot at multiple locations in Arcata. The film is called One Battle After Another and showcased big Hollywood stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro and Regina Hall. Film locations included an industrial complex on near West End Rd, Ralibertos Taqueria, and sections of highway 101 just north of Arcata. There was a large street closure for the Ralibertos filming location that shut down the roads in the area for an entire evening. Services were requested of APD and engineering provided traffic control plans for the street closures.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Doug Culbert, Deputy Director of Environmental Services––Streets and Utilities PREPARER: Doug Culbert, Deputy Director of Environmental Services––Streets and Utilities DATE: June 4, 2025
TITLE: Adopt Ordinance No. 1578, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending Chapter 3, Water, of Title VII, Public Works, of the Arcata Municipal Code.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 1578, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending Chapter 3, Water, of Title VII, Public Works, of the Arcata Municipal Code; waive reading of the text and consent to read by title only.

INTRODUCTION:

The City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1578 at their May 21, 2025, regular meeting.

Previously, Ordinance No. 1239 became effective on August 4, 1995, which updated the Arcata Municipal Code related to backflow prevention and cross-connection control for the City’s drinking water system. In July 2024 the California State Water Resources Control Board, exercising its authority under the California Safe Drinking Water Act, adopted regulations in the Cross Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) to establish enforceable standards applicable to California Public Water Systems (PWSs). The Policy Handbook also provides the basis for regulating the use and management of cross-connection control programs and backflow prevention assemblies, and related requirements for supporting programs and policies.

Environmental Services staff recommends adoption of a new ordinance amending the City’s municipal code to comply with the regulations of the CCCPH and codify the rules and procedures in the City’s Cross-Connection Control Program to be congruent with the newly adopted regulations in the CCCPH.

BACKGROUND:

The current Arcata Municipal Code refers to the outdated regulatory handbook and does not include regulatory aspects newly required by the State. The City’s Cross Connection Control Program (CCCP) is designed to maintain the safety and potability of the water in the City of Arcata’s Public Water System (PWS) by establishing rules and procedures to prevent the contamination of public drinking water by the backflow of water or other fluids. The purpose of the CCCP is to protect the public water supply from the possibility of contamination by isolating contaminants which could backflow or back-siphon into the public water system within its customers’ internal distribution system. This program will also promote the elimination or control of cross-connections, actual or potential, between its customers’ private drinking water system(s) and anything that could

contaminate or pollute it and provide for the maintenance of a cross-connection control program to effectively prevent the contamination or pollution of all drinking water systems. This ordinance will give the City’s updated CCCP the authority it needs to be enforceable under the conditions of the new State-adopted Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook.

DISCUSSION:

The CCCPH was adopted in July 2024 and Publicly Owned Water Systems subject to the new policy must be compliant with the policy by July 1, 2025. Environmental Services staff have reviewed the new regulations and updated the City’s Cross Connection Control Plan to meet the requirements of the CCCPH. Under the new regulations, the City is required to appoint a certified Cross-Connection Control Program Coordinator (CCCPC) who is responsible for the protection of the public potable water distribution system. The City has provided training for staff to obtain Cross Connection Control Specialist certification which is mandatory to serve as the CCCPC.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The ordinance, if adopted, will bring the City into compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board’s Cross Connection Control Policy Handbook.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

The proposed ordinance amendments clarify definitions and rationale, roles and responsibilities, and standards to implement an existing program designed to protect the municipal water supply from contamination. The amendments do not impose new requirements that would alter the baseline impacts associated with the existing program. Because the program is intended for the protection of the environment by reducing the likelihood of draining the municipal water system to flush contaminants, which would impact natural resources, and because the amendments do not change the baseline associated with the existing regulatory program, the proposed action does not have the potential to have a significant effect on the environment and qualifies for the common sense exemption (CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3)).

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

This ordinance will have minimal impact on the City’s Water Fund, and all costs pertaining to carrying out the updates in this ordinance have been budgeted within the Water Fund for this current fiscal year.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 1578, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending Chapter 3, Water, of Title VII, Public Works, of the Arcata Municipal Code; waive reading of the text and consent to read by title only. Consent Calendar vote.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCATA AMENDING CHAPTER 3, WATER, OF TITLE VII, PUBLIC WORKS, OF THE ARCATA

MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, The California State Water Resources Control Board (the State Water Board), exercising its authority under the California Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), adopted regulations in the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) to establish enforceable standards applicable to California Public Water Systems (PWSs); and WHEREAS, amendments to Articles 2 and 16, Chapter 3(Water), of Title VII (Public Works), are necessary for the City of Arcata to comply with the regulations of the CCCPH.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCATA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Sections 7632, 7633, and 7634 are hereby added to Article 2 (Definitions), Chapter 3 (Water), Title VII (Public Works), of the Arcata Municipal Code as shown in the following double underscore text:

SEC. 7632 Backflow Prevention Assembly (BPA)
A device or means designed to prevent backflow or back-siphonage.

SEC. 7633 Public Water System (PWS)
A system that provides water for human consumption to 15 or more connections or regularly serves 25 or more people daily for at least 60 days out of the year, specifically the “City of Arcata.” SEC. 7634 Cross Connection Control Program Coordinator (CCCPC) The official, or their delegated representative, in charge of the Public Water System, who is invested with the authority and responsibility for the implementation of an effective crossconnection control program and for the enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance.

SECTION 2. Sections 7976, 7977, 7978.1, 7978.2, 7978.3, 7978.4, 7978.5, and 7978.6, of Article 16 (Backflow Prevention), Chapter 3(Water), Title VII (Public Works), of the Arcata Municipal Code are hereby amended as shown in the following strike through and double underscore text:

SEC. 7976 Purpose and Policy
Pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986, Public Law 99-339, and the California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Public Health, the City of Arcata as a water supplier has primary responsibility for preventing water from unapproved sources or any other substance from entering and thereby contaminating the public potable water system. Accordingly, the purpose of this ordinance is to: prevent backflow from occurring by requiring the installation of backflow prevention assemblies at residential, commercial and industrial cross-connections where

the potential for contamination exists. The type of assembly required will be commensurate with the degree of hazard posed by the specific potential contamination.

1. Protect the public water supply of the Public Water System for the possibility of contamination by isolating contaminants which could backflow or back-siphon into the public water system within its customers’ internal distribution system(s);

2. To promote the elimination or control of the cross-connections, actual or potential, between its customers’ in-plant drinking water system(s) and anything that could contaminate or pollute it; and

3. Provide for the maintenance of a cross-connection control program to effectively prevent the contamination or pollution of all drinking water systems.

To meet this goal, this Ordinance adopts as its cross-connection control program, industry standards for the design, construction, installation, maintenance, inspection and repair of backflow prevention assemblies as developed by the Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research of the University of Southern California and described in the Cross Connection Control Policy Handbook, Standards and Principles for California’s Public Water Systems, (further referred to as the “Policy Handbook”), Adopted by the California Environmental Protection Agency on December 19, 2023 and became effective on July 1, 2024. Said industry standards are updated regularly and satisfy the statutory requirements referenced herein for backflow prevention.

SEC. 7977. Implementation.

The Director of Environmental services ("Director"), or designee, shall be responsible for implementing this Ordinance. The Department of Environmental Services shall employ at least one (1) person trained in cross-connection control. Cross Connection Control Program Coordinator (CCCPC): Pursuant to Article 3.13 of the Policy Handbook, the City of Arcata must designate at least one individual involved in the development of and be responsible for the reporting, tracking, and other administration duties of its cross-connection control program.

Pursuant to Article 3.4.2(b), the CCCPC must have valid certification as a Cross-Connection Control Specialist (CCCS) from a certifying organization recognized by the State Water Board.

The CCCPC shall be responsible for the protection of the public potable water distribution system from contamination or pollution due to the backflow or back-siphonage of contaminants or pollution through the water service connection. The CCCPC shall develop a plan for thorough cleaning or flushing of the system to minimize the risk of drawing contaminants into uncontaminated areas.

SEC. 7978.1. Cross-Connection Control Standards.

The City hereby adopts as its program for cross-connection control, all standards, guidelines and requirements set forth in the most current edition of the Manual of Cross-Connection Control prepared by the Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research of the University of Southern California Policy Handbook. The design, construction, installation and maintenance of backflow prevention assemblies shall be in accordance with Article 3 in said the Manual Policy Handbook. The Policy Handbook provides the basis for regulating the use and

management of cross-connection control programs and backflow prevention assemblies (BPAs) in Public Water Systems (PWS), and related requirements for supporting programs and policies.

Activities or uses outside of the scope of the authority of the State Water Board to regulate PWS are not regulated by the Policy Handbook, including California Plumbing Code requirements and definitions not related to PWS. Said Manual is generally updated every eighteen months or two years, hence The water user shall be responsible for following the standards, guidelines and requirements of the appropriate edition the Policy Handbook. A copy of said Manual the Policy Handbook shall be on file with the CCCPC Director and available for public use. To the extent any provision is inconsistent with regulations adopted by the State Department of Health Services and located in California Code of Regulation, Title 17, the provision found in Title 17 shall control.

SEC. 7978.2. Director’s Cross Connection Control Plan Coordinator’s Discretion.

In the event a particular cross-connection or unapproved water source is not governed by the requirements and provisions of the Manual of Cross-Connection Control the Policy Handbook, the CCCPC Director shall determine whether a backflow prevention assembly is necessary to protect the City’s water supply and, if so, the level of protection needed. Said determination shall be made in the best judgment of the CCCPC Director and in accordance with the standards set forth in the Manual of Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook.

If the CCCPC determines at any time that a serious threat to public health exists, the water service shall be terminated immediately.

Sec. 7978.3 Approved Backflow Prevention Assembly Requirement.

If, in accordance with the Manual of Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook Article 3 or in the CCCPC Director’s judgment, an approved backflow prevention assembly is required for the safety of the City’s water system, the CCCPC Director’s shall give notice in writing to the owner of the premises where the cross-connection exists of the backflow prevention assembly requirement. An approved backflow assembly is a backflow prevention device that has been:

1. Manufactured to allow for accurate testing and inspection so as to allow verification of performance; and

2. tested and approved by a recognized agency using standards from California Plumbing Code Section 603.2.

If the water use is domestic/residential, the Director PWS shall install said backflow prevention assembly. If the water use is commercial/industrial, the owner of the property and owner of the commercial/industrial enterprise shall be responsible, jointly and severally, to ensure that an approved backflow prevention assembly is immediately installed at his, her or their own expense. Failure, refusal, or inability to install such assembly immediately, and in no case more than thirty days after notice, shall constitute grounds for discontinuing water service to the premises until compliance with this Ordinance is achieved.

Sec. 7978.4 Approval of Backflow Prevention Assemblies.

All backflow prevention assemblies, whether installed by the City water user, or owner of property shall be assemblies approved by the CCCPC Director or a person or entity who is competent and possesses the necessary facilities and certifications, as determined by the CCCPC Director, to investigate and evaluate backflow prevention assemblies and is employed independently of backflow prevention assembly manufacturing companies.

Sec. 7978.5 Certified Annual Inspection and Testing.

A. Annual Inspection and Testing: Pursuant to Article 3.3.3 of the Policy Handbook, Aat least once per year the CCCPC Director shall conduct, or cause to conduct, a certified inspection and operational test of each backflow prevention assembly installed. In those instances where the CCCPC Director deems the degree of hazard to warrant more frequent testing, he/she may perform, or cause to perform, certified testing and inspection of the backflow prevention assembly as necessary. The City of Arcata Director shall immediately repair or replace, or cause to repair or replace, defective backflow prevention assemblies located at domestic/residential water services within 30 days of notification of the failure. If the water use is commercial/industrial, the owner of the property or owner of the commercial/industrial enterprise shall be responsible, jointly and severally, for repair or replacement of defective backflow prevention assemblies within 30 days of notification of the failure. Extensions of this 30 day period may be granted by the CCCPC on a case-by-case basis considering the justification. However, this time period may be shortened depending upon the degree of hazard involved and the history of the device(s) in question. The owner of a commercial/industrial enterprise may assume responsibility to conduct or cause to conduct the required inspection and testing by following the procedure specified in Section 7978.5(B). For BPAs tested by a third-party tester, backflow prevention assembly testers are required to notify the PWS as soon as possible within 24 hours if a backflow incident or an unprotected cross-connection is observed at the BPA or prior to the user premises during field testing. PWS must immediately conduct an investigation and discontinue service to the user premises if a backflow incident is confirmed, and water service must not be restored to that user premises until the PWS receives a confirmation of a passing BPA field test from a backflow prevention assembly tester and the assembly is protecting the PWS.

B. Alternative Procedure for Commercial/Industrial: As an alternative to the CCCPC’s Director’s undertaking to conduct inspection and operational testing required herein, the owner of a commercial/industrial enterprise may conduct, or cause to conduct, the inspection and operational testing after providing written notice to the CCCPC Director at least five (5) business days in advance, specifying the date, time and person or entity expected to conduct the inspection and test. Pursuant to Article 4, section 3.4.1 of the Policy Handbook, inspection and testing must be conducted by an American Waterworks Association a certified backflow tester from a certifying organization recognized by the State Water Board. The CCCPC Director reserves the right to observe the testing or inspection. If the CCCPC determines any procedural irregularity exists, he/she may conduct or cause to conduct an additional inspection and test, at the owner’s expense.

Written inspection, test and/or repair results must be provided to the CCCPC Director in a timely fashion. Backflow prevention assemblies shall be repaired or replaced immediately upon discovery of a defective condition.

The CCCPC shall inform the owner in writing of any failure to comply, and the time allowed for the correction to be made. If upon re-inspection the owner has not complied, the CCCPC may allow an additional 30 days for the correction. In the event the owner fails to comply with the necessary correction by the time of the second re-inspection, the CCCPC will inform the owner, by certified letter, that the water service to the owner’s premises will be terminated within a period not to exceed five days. In the event that the owner informs the CCCPC of extenuating circumstances as to why the correction has not been made, a time extension may be granted by the CCCPC.

Sec. 7978.6 Record Keeping.

The CCCPC Director shall maintain records of locations, tests and repairs of backflow prevention assemblies pursuant to Article 5 section 3.5.1 of the Policy Handbook.

SECTION 3. Section 7978.7 (Backflow Charges and Fees) of Article 16 (Backflow Prevention), Chapter 3 (Water), Title VII (Public Works) of the Arcata Municipal Code is hereby recodified as Section 7978.8, Chapter 3 (Water), Title VII (Public Works).

SECTION 4. Section 7978.7 is hereby added to Article 16 (Backflow Prevention), Chapter 3 (Water), Title VII (Public Works) of the Arcata Municipal Code as shown in the following double underscore text:

Sec. 7978.7 Bypass of Fire Lines Prohibited
Fire lines are meant for use for fire suppression only. The bypassing of the Double Check Detector Assembly (DCDA) on fire lines for the purpose of operating the fire line as an unmetered water source is prohibited and subject to penalties up to and including disconnecting of service for the fire line.

SECTION 5. Section 7978.8 (Collection by Suit) of Article 16 (Backflow Prevention), Chapter 3 (Water), Title VII (Public Works) of the Arcata Municipal Code is hereby recodified as Section 7978.9.

SECTION 6.

SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the ordinance. The Council hereby declares that it would have adopted the ordinance, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid.

SECTION 7.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed ordinance amendments clarify definitions and rationale, roles and responsibilities, and standards to implement an existing program designed to protect the municipal water supply from contamination. The amendments do not impose new requirements that would alter the baseline impacts associated with the existing program. Because the program is intended for the protection of the environment by reducing the likelihood of draining the municipal water system to flush contaminants, which would impact

natural resources, and because the amendments do not change the baseline associated with the existing regulatory program, the Arcata City Council finds the proposed action does not have the potential to have a significant effect on the environment and adopts the common sense exemption (CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3)).

SECTION 8.

LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Any action to challenge the validity or legality of any provision of this ordinance on any grounds shall be brought by court action commenced within thirty (30) days of the date of adoption of this ordinance.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager
PREPARER: Rhea Varley, City Clerk
DATE: June 4, 2025
TITLE: Adopt Ordinance No. 1579, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Adding Article 11 to Title IV, Chapter 2, Making it Unlawful for Any Person in the City to Sell, Offer, Distribute, or Provide Nitrous Oxide to Any Person.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 1579, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Adding Article 11 to Title IV, Chapter 2, Making it Unlawful for Any Person in the City to Sell, Offer, Distribute, or Provide Nitrous Oxide to Any Person; waive reading of the text and consent to read by title only.

INTRODUCTION:

Nitrous oxide, commonly used as a medical anesthetic and a propellant in whipped cream dispensers, is increasingly misused as a recreational inhalant. Its unregulated sale and misuse, particularly by youth, presents an urgent public health concern. This ordinance aims to address the availability and misuse of nitrous oxide by establishing comprehensive regulations for its sale, possession, and distribution in the City of Arcata.

This ordinance reinforces the City's commitment to protecting the health and safety of its residents by limiting access to substances known to cause harm when misused, while preserving access for legitimate purposes. At the City Council’s regular meeting on May 21, 2025, this ordinance was introduced by the Council; if adopted on June 4, 2025, this ordinance will become effective on July 4, 2025.

BACKGROUND:

Nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas," is a colorless, nonflammable gas that has both legitimate and illegitimate uses. While it is widely used in food preparation and medical or dental care, it has also gained popularity as a recreational inhalant.

Despite existing state laws prohibiting inhalation for intoxication purposes and restricting sales to minors, the product remains easily accessible in large quantities and is frequently misused in unsupervised and unsafe ways. This has become a growing public health concern in the City of Arcata, particularly among young people.

The recreational use of nitrous oxide, particularly among adolescents, is linked to a range of severe health risks including nerve damage, cognitive impairments, psychosis, and in some cases, death. A 2025 study published in The Lancet found that youth as young as 14 can suffer irreversible neurological damage from recreational nitrous oxide use. In Humboldt County, the 2021–2023 California Healthy Kids Survey reported that 11% of 7th and 11th grade students had used inhalants, with evidence of initiation occurring as early as 5th grade.

Nitrous oxide is often sold in small metal cylinders or “whip-its,” which are readily available in smoke shops and convenience stores, including near schools and public recreation areas. The lack of clear regulatory authority for local jurisdictions to manage retail sales of nitrous oxide has contributed to increased access and normalization of its recreational use.

DISCUSSION:

Ordinance No. 1579. seeks to close existing legal loopholes by establishing a local prohibition on the sale, offer, distribution, or provision of nitrous oxide and related devices, except in cases where the product is:

1. Used in food products as a propellant.

2. Administered for legitimate medical or dental purposes under supervision of licensed practitioners.

3. Dispensed by a licensed pharmacy or pharmacist.

4. Distributed by a wholesaler or manufacturer regulated under specified NAICS codes.

Violations of the ordinance will be treated as misdemeanors, subject to penalties including fines or jail time, and may also be enforced through nuisance abatement or administrative citation processes already established in the Arcata Municipal Code.

The ordinance is modeled on similar efforts in California cities and counties and is intended to protect community health without placing an undue burden on businesses engaged in lawful sales of unrelated products.

If adopted on June 4, 2025, this ordinance would go into effect 30 days thereafter on July 4, 2025.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no anticipated significant fiscal impact associated with adoption of this ordinance.

Enforcement may be conducted within existing staffing and budgetary allocations.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 1579, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Adding Article 11 to Title IV, Chapter 2, Making it Unlawful for Any Person in the City to Sell, Offer, Distribute, or Provide Nitrous Oxide to Any Person; waive reading of the text and consent to read by title only.

In 2020, pursuant to the City Council’s adoption of Resolution No. 190-68, a special Tax Measure, Measure A: Open Space Parks, and Trails Special Tax, was placed on the ballot for the election held on November 3, 2020. The tax is an annual tax of $37 flat rate per parcel. As the special tax was approved by voters in November 2020, it commenced on July 1, 2021, and will not expire until ended by voters. The Measure excludes parcels that are exempt from property taxes such as schools, churches, fire district, city and other publicly owned parcels. Staff determined that collection of this fee would be consolidated with County of Humboldt’s Secured Property Tax Bill.

DISCUSSION:

Pursuant to the Council’s adoption of Resolution No. 190-68 on June 17, 2020, a Special Tax Measure, Measure A, was placed on the ballot for the election held on November 3, 2020. The measure was structured to exclude parcels that are exempt from property taxes such as school, church, fire district, city and other publicly owned parcels.

California law permits the City of Arcata to enact a parcel tax on the privilege of using or having available municipal services (Government Code §37100.5). The tax is an annual tax of $37 flat rate per parcel. Under Proposition 218, the parcel tax required adoption as a special tax requiring at least 2/3 voter approval, pursuant to Government Code §50075. The special tax was approved by voters in November 2020, the parcel tax commenced on July 1, 2021, and will not expire unless ended by voters.

Staff have updated the total number of parcels within the City limits deemed taxable by the County Assessor as 4,569 parcels, which with the $37 per year parcel tax will yield approximately $169,053 for fiscal year 2025/26. Future annexations and subdivisions could increase the total parcel count in the future. Additional exempt parcels may be removed from the listing pursuant to the updated nonPage 80 of 104 taxable parcel list staff expects to receive from the County Assessor in July. At that time the Finance and Environmental Services Departments would finalize the list of parcels that should have the $37 flat tax applied to their property tax bill and would provide the updated listing to the County Assessor by August 10.

Revenue from this special tax funds stewardship and maintenance and potential acquisition of City’s parks, trails, forest and open spaces. This additional funding allows the City to qualify for cost share grants to acquire land or easements, to construct a trail or habitat restoration work, or implement a park improvement. Many grant funding sources also require upfront design, permitting, and environmental and legal review to be conducted to qualify for funding. This steady funding source for cost share and pre-project work is invaluable for the City to move potential projects to the implementation stage. Additional revenue also allows for improved maintenance of existing park facilities, waterways and natural areas, and safety measures to meet the community’s expectations.

Funding from the Open Space, Parks and Trails Special Tax has made a large impact throughout the City’s parks, forest and open space. Projects implemented over the past year with this funding include hiring of an Arcata Marsh Groundskeeper part time position to augment vegetation maintenance and stewardship in the Marsh, playground equipment replacement at Windsong Neighborhood Park & Greenview and Larson Park repairs, completion of the Margaret Lane Trailhead ramp at Sunny Brae Forest, Jacoby Creek Gannon Slough Wildlife Area rehabilitation and new fencing, replacement of the Hoot Creek bridge in Jacoby Creek Forest, a contribution towards the Arcata Ball Park Improvement Project and continuing to advance restoration grants and fish monitoring in Janes and Jolly Giant Creeks.

Staff have prepared the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Open Space, Parks, and Trails Special Tax Report (the "Annual Report") for the imposition and collection of said special parcel tax, which will be forwarded to the County Auditor-Controller to be included on the tax rolls for fiscal year 2025/26.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The Special Tax of $37 per year per parcel on 4,569 parcels raises an estimated $169,053 per year.

Future annexations and subdivisions could increase the total parcel count in the future. A special revenue fund has been created to accept the special tax revenue.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to adopt Resolution No. 245-50 approving the fiscal year 2025/26 Annual Report on Measure A Special Tax for all non-tax-exempt parcels and directing that said fee be collected through the property tax rolls for fiscal year 2025/26. Consent Calendar vote.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2020, pursuant to the City Councils adoption of Resolution No. 190-68, a special Tax Measure, Measure A: Open Space Parks, and Trails Special Tax, was placed on the ballot for the election held on November 3, 2020. The tax is an annual tax of $37 flat rate per parcel. As the special tax was approved by voters in November 2020, the parcel tax commenced on July 1, 2021, and will not expire until ended by voters. The Measure excludes parcels that are exempt from property taxes such as schools, churches, fire district, city and other publicly owned parcels. Staff determined that collection of this fee would be consolidated with County of Humboldt’s Secured Property Tax Bill.

Section 50075, et seq. of the California Code authorizes cities to impose special taxes, approved by a two‐thirds vote of the members of the legislative body. Revenue from this special tax now funds acquisition, improvements and maintenance of the City’s parks, trails, forest and open spaces. This additional funding allows the City to qualify for future cost share grants to acquire land or easements, to construct a trail or habitat restoration work, or implement a park improvement. Many grant funding sources also require upfront design, permitting, and environmental and legal review to be conducted to qualify for funding. This steady funding source for cost share and pre-project work will be invaluable for the City to move potential projects to the implementation stage. Additional revenue will also allow for improved maintenance of existing park facilities, waterways and natural areas, and safety measures to meet the community’s expectations.

To ensure oversight of the Special Tax, an Open Space Special Tax Ad Hoc group was formed. The Ad Hoc Group is comprised of two representatives from each of the three City committees with a purview around open space: Wetlands and Creeks, Forest Management, and Parks and Recreation.

The Ad Hoc Group confirmed the following timeline and process for making Open Space Special Tax recommendations to the City Council each year:

Summer – Staff compile past fiscal year Special Tax expenditures and share upcoming City and Department priorities.

Fall – Committees review priorities and progress from last fiscal year and suggest any updates to Open Space Special Tax priorities. Select two representatives to be part of ad hoc group.

Winter – Ad Hoc group meets. Group assesses progress on past fiscal year priorities and recommends priorities for Special Tax expenditures for following fiscal year.

Early March – Hold a City Committee meeting at which Ad Hoc members share the group’s recommendations and the committee considers recommending to the City Council.

Spring – Environmental Services staff share recommendations with Council during goal setting and incorporate recommendations into draft department budget.

June – Council consider and adopt draft next fiscal year budget.

2.1. Method of Assessment
The rate for each taxable real property parcel in City Limits was set by City Council via Resolution 190-68 on June 17, 2020 and then passed by voters on November 3, 2020. The number of taxable real property parcels in City Limits was determined by subtracting the number of nontaxable real property in Arcata, which was supplied to the City by Humboldt County Assessor’s office, from the number of real property parcels.

The authorized amounts and rates for Measure A: Open Space Parks, and Trails Special Tax are as follows:

Parcel Classification Rate
Taxable Real Property in City Limits $37.00
Property Tax Exempt $0.00
The following table summarizes the estimated annual levy by Classification of parcel:

Parcel Classification Number of Parcels Levy Total
Taxable Real Property in City Limits 4,569 $ 169,053
Total $ 169,053

2.2. Collection of Fees and Charges
The Measure A: Open Space Parks, and Trails Special Tax will be collected on the tax roll in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as, together with and not separately from, the City’s general taxes.

3. LIST OF SPENDING
Following the intention of the Special Tax to support stewardship, acquisition and increased public access to the City’s open space, forest, and parks, the City has implemented several Open Space, Parks & Trails Special Tax priority projects in the past year which were recommended by the Ad Hoc group and budgeted by the Council in the 2024-25 fiscal year. This funding made a large impact throughout the City’s parks, trails and open spaces. FY 2024-25 projects included hiring of an Arcata Marsh Groundskeeper part time position to augment vegetation maintenance and stewardship in the Marsh, general park stewardship which resulted in playground equipment replacement at Windsong Neighborhood Park & Greenview and Larson Park repairs, completion of the Margaret Lane Trailhead ramp at Sunny Brae Forest, Jacoby Creek Gannon Slough Wildlife Area rehabilitation and new fencing, replacement of the Hoot Creek bridge in Jacoby Creek Forest, a contribution towards the Arcata Ball Park Improvement Project and continuing to advance restoration grants and fish monitoring in Janes and Jolly Giant Creeks.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager
PREPARER: Bart Silvers, Chief of Police
DATE: June 4, 2025
TITLE: Approve the Purchase of In-Car Cameras for Police Vehicles Including Implementation, Hardware, and a Five-Year Subscription Service from Motorola in the Amount of $164,934; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute All Applicable Documents.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Approve the purchase of thirteen (13) Motorola M500 in-car cameras for police vehicles, including implementation, one-time hardware costs, and a five-year subscription service in the amount of $164,934; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

The City’s existing in-car camera system for police vehicles, purchased in 2017, has reached the end of its useful life. Staff have been notified that the current cameras will no longer be supported, and the hardware will reach its end-of-life status in the coming months. Replacing the outdated system with the Motorola M500 cameras will ensure continuity of operations, prevent service gaps, and maintain reliable video documentation.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The proposed Motorola M500 system is a direct replacement for the City’s existing in-car camera system and is fully compatible with the current Motorola body-worn camera platform already in use by the Arcata Police Department. Integration between in-car and body-worn cameras is essential to the department’s transparency, operational effectiveness, and accountability to the community.

This purchase includes the latest generation of Motorola hardware, with a five-year subscription covering system support, service, and equipment replacement. Staff are requesting a sole-source purchase authorization, as Motorola is the only provider able to integrate with the City’s existing body-worn camera system and associated software.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost of $164,934 will be paid over a five-year period using funds from Account 101-40-21- 51200. The payment schedule includes $43,520 in fiscal year 2025/26, followed by $26,520 annually for fiscal years 2026/27 through 2029/30.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to approve the purchase of 13 Motorola M500 in-car cameras for police vehicles, including implementation, one-time hardware costs, and a five-year subscription service in the amount of $164,934; and authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents. Consent Calendar vote.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
June 4, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Netra Khatri, City Engineer; and David Caisse, Assistant City Engineer PREPARER: Mara Grow, Administrative Specialist
DATE: May 28, 2025
TITLE: Approve an Amendment to the Contract for the Isaacson Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (STI) Improvement Project-Phase 2 with R.A.O.

Construction Co., Inc. in the Amount of $83,793; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute Applicable Documents.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council approve an amendment to the contract for the Isaacson Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (STI) Improvement Project-Phase 2 with R.A.O.

Construction Co., Inc. in the amount of $83,793; and authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

The original contract for the Isaacson STI Improvement Project – Phase 2 (the project) was awarded on February 19, 2025. This project is listed in the City’s Capital Improvements Program (CIP) and includes various roadway, drainage, bicycle, and pedestrian improvements throughout the city. The primary focus is to enhance pedestrian accessibility, safety, and connectivity between the Sorrel Place multi-family housing development, transit services, and other key destinations within the City of Arcata.

While closing out the grant accounting for the project, staff identified that there was additional budget available. These remaining funds are being utilized to complete further sidewalk improvements in the vicinity of the original project locations. Similar to the original contract, this additional work aims to improve pedestrian connectivity and accessibility.

BACKGROUND:

This project represents the next phase of the Isaacson Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (STI) Improvement Project. The initial phase was completed in 2023, funded in part by an Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program Grant for the Sorrel Place housing project.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

The California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) determination for the sidewalk and paving portion of the project is a categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c), for the restoring and rehabilitating of existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that presently existing.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The Isaacson STI Improvement Project-Phase 2 is supported through a grant from the AHSC Program Grant. Funds for this project are budgeted under the current Fiscal Year 2024-25 as follows:

Account Number/Agency
Responsible
Amount Account Name
233-70-48-57600 $83,793 *AHSC Grant
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to approve an amendment to the contract for the Isaacson Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (STI) Improvement Project-Phase 2 with R.A.O. Construction Co., Inc. in the amount of $83,793; and authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents. Consent Calendar vote.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager
PREPARER: Rhiannon Lewis-Stephenson, Executive Assistant/Deputy City Clerk DATE: June 4, 2025
TITLE: Approve Sponsorship in an Amount Equivalent to the Plaza Event Fees of $2,575 for the Arcata Chamber of Commerce’s 4th of July Jubilee to be Held on the Arcata Plaza on July 4, 2025.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council approve a sponsorship in an amount equivalent to the Plaza event fees of $2,575 for the Arcata Chamber of Commerce’s 4th of July Jubilee event to be held on the Arcata Plaza on July 4, 2025.

INTRODUCTION:

The Arcata Chamber of Commerce’s 4th of July Jubilee is one of the City’s longest-standing and most cherished community celebrations, bringing together residents, visitors, and families for a full day of festivities. This year’s event will feature a classic mix of live music, food vendors, local artisans, family activities, and a beer garden—all hosted on the Arcata Plaza.

The 4th of July Jubilee plays an important role in fostering community pride and engagement while also offering a meaningful economic boost to local businesses. It is a free, inclusive event that invites residents and tourists alike to celebrate Independence Day in a safe and festive environment.

The Chamber has requested City support in the form of a fee sponsorship, reflecting the community benefit the event provides and its alignment with City values of inclusivity, cultural vibrancy, and economic vitality.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The rates charged for the use of the Plaza for a special event are intended to cover staff costs as well as maintenance, barricade fees, utilities, traffic control plan, equipment servicing and equipment and permanent restrooms.

The cost to use the Plaza for the 2025 4
th of July Jubilee event is approximately $1,300 for use of the area from 7 a.m. July 4 through 6 p.m. that day, and $1,275 for setup of traffic control.

A $500 deposit will be required from the event organizers to ensure clarity and responsibility for clean-up.

Staff are recommending that the Council provide support for the festival in an amount equivalent to the anticipated use fees for the event, in the amount of approximately $2,575.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

Although the City Council has not identified specific events to receive support from the City, the City Council did express its desire to support events in the City and set aside $25,000 for that purpose. Although there were no specific events identified in the budget at that time, festivals, and festivities that are open to the public at no charge, attract visitors from near and far, and provide benefit to the community, such as the Arcata Chamber of Commerce’s 4th of July Jubilee, seem to be the type of event the Council should consider support with the budget set aside for that purpose.

If approved, the funds for the event would come from 101-10-01-52104. Funds used from this account in this fiscal year include a total of $3,875 for two similar sponsorship requests, leaving a remainder of $21,125 for other such requests.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to approve a sponsorship in an amount equivalent to the Plaza event fees of $2,575 for the Arcata Chamber of Commerce’s 4th of July Jubilee to be held on the Arcata Plaza on July 4, 2025.

Consent Calendar vote.

Dear Merritt, I wanted to reach out to you to request a waiver of the city’s fee for our Jubilee celebration.

Dear Merritt,
I wanted to reach out to you to request a waiver of the city’s fee for our Jubilee celebration. This lovely event is not intended to be profitable but rather a purely Arcata celebration! It is free to the community and fills the plaza with joyful locals many of whom have been coming for decades through thick and thin, good times, and tough times. I am hoping you will pass this on to our esteemed city council members.

Thank you so much for all your hard work for Arcata, and for considering this request, Bob

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Netra Khatri, City Engineer
PREPARER: Mara Grow, Administrative Specialist
DATE: June 4, 2025
TITLE: Consider Approving an Amendment to the Bike Share Program Contract with Tandem Mobility, LLC for Two Additional Stations in the City Limits for an Added Amount Not to Exceed $20,000 per Program Year.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council approve an amendment to the existing Bike Share Program contract with Tandem Mobility, LLC for two additional stations in the city limits for an added amount not to exceed $20,000 per program year; and authorize the City Manager to execute the applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

The City of Arcata currently has a contract with Tandem Mobility, LLC to operate a bike share program within city limits. The existing contract amount for the annual operations is $72,000. The contract was awarded in 2021, following a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) process. There are currently eight stations located throughout the city. These stations are funded through a combination of sources, including an Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Grant, contributions from Cal Poly Humboldt, and 2% Bike and Pedestrian Local Transportation funds administered by the Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG). The program currently includes 40 bikes, 1,618 active users, and averages rentals have increased to 2,596 per year. A summary of bikeshare ridership from 2021-2024 is depicted in attachment A.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Arcata’s original bike share program began in 2017 in partnership with Zagster.

Between 2017 and 2019, usage increased each year, with especially high ridership occurring from late summer through the end of the year. A significant portion of users were Cal Poly Humboldt students.

In 2020, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the program was discontinued due to Zagster’s bankruptcy. In 2021, the City of Arcata and Cal Poly Humboldt re-established the bike share program with a new partner, Tandem Mobility, to continue providing bike share services throughout Arcata and the Cal Poly Humboldt campus.

Bike share stations are strategically placed in high-traffic areas. Two stations are located in downtown Arcata—one of the city’s primary transportation hubs—which includes the Arcata Library, City Hall, the Arcata Transit Center, and numerous local businesses surrounding the Arcata

Plaza. Another station is located near the intersection of 7th and I Streets at the Sorrel Building, a new high-density housing development.

Additional stations include one along the Humboldt Bay Trail North, adjacent to Shay Park, near new high-density residential developments and an A&MRTS bus stop, and another along Valley West Boulevard next to bus stops.

New stations are planned at the Hinarr Hu Moulik student housing project, with funding provided by Cal Poly Humboldt. This amendment will add two new stations, with five bikes at each location.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

This bikeshare program is exempt from CEQA, per 15301 (c) bicycle-share facilities.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The purchase order and invoice for this program will be processed using the account below and are included in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget:

Account Number Amount Account Name

3. Close public comment.
