City of Arcata Energy Committee
202 4 Annua l Report to the City Council
For Presentation to the City Council on August 6 , 20 25 The Energy Committee meets on the third Monday of odd-numbered months and serves in an advisory capacity to the City Council, City Manager and City staff in energy matters related to policies, management, and projects. The Committee held four regular meetings and one special meeting during 2024. The regularly scheduled meeting in November of 2024 was adjourned due to lack of quorum. 2024 Committee Members:

George Williamson (Resigned after September 2024)
Michael Winkler, Chair
Andrea Alstone, Vice-Chair
Patrick Buckwalter
Dan Stockwell (Started in January 2024)
Gwelen Paliaga
Jim Zoellick
Committee Staff Liaisons:

Emily Benvie, Deputy Director - Community Services, Environmental Services Department Morguine Sefcik, Environmental Programs Manager, Environmental Services Department I. ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Energy Committee was involved in the following activities in 2024:

Michael Winkler served as Chair and Andrea Alstone served as Vice-Chair in 2024. The Committee confirmed their meeting schedule, in which they hold regular meetings on odd-numbered months. The committee meetings were held in-person in 2024.

Arcata All Electric Initiative
The Committee continued work on the All-Electric Initiative. This initiative includes decarbonization and electrification of City and privately-owned buildings using a range of options, including enacting a municipal ordinance gas ban, decarbonizing City facilities, and investigating options to increase equity and affordability of electrification.
• The Committee received regular updates and provided input on decarbonization of City facilities. Specific examples included:
o The Energy Conservation Assistance Act (ECAA) loan to provide energy efficiency upgrades, including LED lighting and installation of rooftop solar at the Arcata Community Center, which was approved by the California Energy Commission in the beginning of 2024. o Supporting Electric Vehicle Charging Station planning efforts for future Carlson Park development in coordination with Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA). o Supporting water heater replacement from gas to electric heat pumps at selected City facilities by partnering with Willdan & RCEA with funding through PG&E. o Providing input on potential uses for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) climate change allocations
• The Committee received a presentation from City Engineer, Netra Khatri, on recent and planned transportation mode shift projects in the City at their July meeting.

Collaboration
The Committee continues to consult and work collaboratively with community members and RCEA on energy and climate-related issues. The Committee provided support for the City’s partnership with RCEA offering expanded e-bike vouchers for Arcata residents. The Committee’s Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)/Transactions and Use Tax (TUT) Ballot Measure Subcommittee met during the early part of 2024 to provide input on potential new sources of tax revenue to fund a variety of programs and services, including funding for climate change

adaptation and mitigation projects. Committee Chair, Michael Winkler, volunteered to join the City’s Transactions and Use Tax (TUT) ballot measure subcommittee led by Finance Manager Miller. In November 2024, the Measure H (TUT) ballot measure passed.

Regional Climate Action Plan
The Committee received updates throughout 2024 on the status of the Regional Climate Action Plan (CAP) which included the completion of the public administrative draft in August 2024, and announcement of a public workshop about the draft CAP held on September 10, 2024 at the Wharfinger Building in Eureka.

Biomass
The Committee first received two presentations at their September 2023 meeting on biomass energy production and local contracts. The first presentation was from Dr. Wendy Ring who requested the Committee support a resolution calling on RCEA to end biomass contracts. While three members of the public spoke in support of the resolution to end biomass contracts in 2023, the Committee did not recommend the resolution, as it was written, be approved by City Council in 2023. In February of 2024, the Arcata City Council took no action on the biomass item at their regular meeting.

Energy Committee Chair Winkler volunteered to attend the February 7, 2024 City Council meeting to participate in the report to the Council on the biomass resolution item that the Committee discussed in 2023 and be available to answer any questions from the Council. At their February 7, 2024 meeting, the Council decided to “Take No Action” on the biomass resolution item.

II. GOALS FOR COMING FISCAL YEAR
The Committee developed the following goals for FY 2025/2026. Furthermore, the Energy Committee committed to furthering energy-related Environmental Justice and Social Equity. 1) Climate Action Plan – Continue to work with the County to adopt and implement a regional Climate Action Plan.
2) Transportation Mode Shift - Consistent with the Climate Action Plan – continue to support staff with work related to shifting transportation toward walking, biking, public transportation, and low and zero emission modes of transport for privately and City-owned vehicles. 3) Arcata All Electric Initiative – Consistent with the Climate Action Plan, continue work to decarbonize and electrify new and existing construction and end-of-life equipment replacement for City and privately-owned buildings using a range of options, and investigate options to increase equity and affordability of electrification.
4) Support Staff to explore low carbon options for community resiliency, including the benefit of solar with battery backup options, microgrids, and grid-interactive efficient buildings. 5) Work on improving energy code compliance and enforcement through research into local third-party verifiers, education, and building official education.
6) Support the City’s leadership in greenhouse gas emissions reduction through decarbonization of City-owned fleet and facilities.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services PREPARER: Emily Benvie, Environmental Services Deputy Director DATE: July 28, 2025
TITLE: Approve the Carlson Park Skate Spot Project Plans.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council approve the Carlson Park Skate Spot Project Plans.

INTRODUCTION:

This project is the final component of the larger Carlson Park Improvements Project, which has been a Council and community priority for the Valley West neighborhood for over five years. The Carlson Park Improvements Project was substantially completed in the fall of 2024; and now staff is seeking to advance construction of the final remaining park amenity, a small skate spot. The proposed skate spot will provide a safe, designated place for all wheeled-sport enthusiasts to develop their skills and enjoy the company of their peers. The skate spot will include elements geared toward beginner-level users while accommodating all age groups and ability levels. The design of the skate spot was completed by Primary Concrete and followed industry acceptable design standards.

BACKGROUND:

Since the City acquired the Carlson Park property along the Mad River from Caltrans in 2017, it has been a community priority to develop active and passive recreation opportunities to connect the Valley West neighborhood to the Mad River and provide further options for active living for all ages. Beginning in 2018, Environmental Services staff engaged the Valley West community in developing priorities for Carlson Park. These engagements informed draft design concepts which helped to secure two grant funding sources. In April 2023, Senator McGuire announced additional funding through a state budget allocation to ensure the project can meet community goals and include exciting features to draw in both residents and visitors.

During construction of the Carlson Park Improvements Project, the Parks and Recreation Committee identified a location within the park that could serve as a skate spot to provide additional recreational opportunities for the community. The skate spot includes construction of an approximately 480 square foot concrete skate area adjacent to the special event area and will support greater use of the space apart from special events usage. It also has appurtenant skate features that extend into the designated special event area, which do not interfere with special event usage. This further

investment in Carlson Park will create an even more welcoming community space, geared toward youth and beginner skaters.

If approved by Council, construction of the skate feature will commence in late August after summer camp has finished and will be completed before the 2025 rainy season.

DISCUSSION:

In April 2025, the City Council awarded a design-build contract for the Carlson Park Skate Spot Project to Primary Concrete. The contractor has been working collaboratively with City staff and members of the Parks and Recreation Committee to design the skate spot. The skate spot will include construction of an approximately 480-square foot skate bowl, a manual pad, and a skateable curb that will accommodate a variety of users and skill levels. The bowl is designed to visually represent an oyster, in acknowledgement of a beloved Humboldt County resource.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

On April 2, 2025, the City Council determined the Carlson Park Skate Project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15303.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The Carlson Park Skate Spot Design and Build Project is supported through a state budget allocation made possible by Senator Mike McGuire.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to approve Carlson Park Skate Spot project plans. Consent Calendar vote.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Keira Vink, Human Resources and Administrative Services Director PREPARER: Keira Vink, Human Resources and Administrative Services Director DATE: August 6, 2025
TITLE: Adopt Resolution No. 256-06 Amending Class and Pay for International Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 3 Represented Employees Including a Salary Band Increase for Geographic Information Systems Coordinator; and Authorize Mayor to Execute Documents.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council adopt Resolution No. 256-06 amending the classification and pay for employees represented by Operating Engineers Local 3 (OE3) to include a five (5%) percent increase in the salary band for the Geographic Information System (GIS) Coordinator; and authorize the Mayor to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

While the City of Arcata Personnel Rules and Regulations (PR&R) grant authority to the City Manager to adopt changes to the City’s Classification Plan (i.e. job descriptions), Chapter IV, Section 2, of the PR&R requires amendments or revisions to the Compensation Plan be adopted by resolution of the City Council.

DISCUSSION:

On June 18, 2025, the position of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Specialist was added to the Environmental Services Department with the purpose of focusing on the mapping and inventory of the City’s utility assets and infrastructure. The City Council of the City of Arcata approved the salary of the GIS Specialist position on June 30, 2025, at a City Council meeting. It was decided by Environmental Services and Information Technology management that the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Coordinator position would serve as the best supervisor for the new GIS Specialist position. As such, the salaries of both positions were reviewed in a salary comparison with like positions from like jurisdictions. Based on the analysis of the survey it was determined that the GIS Coordinator position warranted a five percent salary increase to place the position on the salary scale ten percent above the GIS Specialist salary band.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The 2025/2026 Approved Budget for the Environmental Services Department will absorb the salary increase with no additional funding needed for this request.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Motion to adopt Resolution No. 256-06, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata amending the Class and Pay for employees represented by International Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 3 [Reflecting a five percent (5%) increase to the GIS Coordinator salary band, effective the first full pay period after Council approval]; and authorize the Mayor to execute all applicable documents. Consent Calendar vote.

The project will focus on integrating transportation and land use planning while considering socio-economic factors, equity, and sustainable funding mechanisms.

As part of the grant requirements, the City must enter a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

Memorandum of Understanding by and between City of Arcata and HCAOG

PAACT sub-applicants will assign agency staff to actively participate in the project steering group throughout the majority of the project timeline. The sub-applicants are: HTA (secondary lead applicant), Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria, City of Arcata, City of Blue Lake, City of Trinidad, County of Humboldt, and Yurok Tribe. The City or Eureka will also participate as a member of the Project Steering Working Group.

The seven PAACT sub-applicants, as members of the Project Steering Working Group, will be responsible for participating directly and actively in the overall project, including but not limited to attending a minimum of meetings, defining a consensus-based vision statement or purpose statement, and communicating this subject project within their respective communities.

Task 1 Deliverables
• Executed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
• Contact information for designated member of the Project Steering Working Group. • Steering committee purpose statement.
• Attendance at a minimum of two preliminary meetings (at least one in-person or hybrid). (This task may include travel costs.)
Task 2: Comprehensive Plan for Regional Transit & Multimodal Networks & Networking
• Understanding the Community’s Transit & Mobility Values and Priorities Led primarily by direction from the Project Steering Working Group, project partners will work to find consensus on a defined problem/purpose/vision statement for regional transit service and active mobility. This process will be facilitated by a consultant. The work will involve engaging and surveying diverse stakeholders to identify the broad community’s key choices for deciding how to redesign, enhance, or expand the regional transit network. • Existing Conditions Report on Community & Regional Characteristics The existing conditions report will analyze and summarize demographics, equity factors, governance, funding and other existing conditions that affect active-transportation demand and equitable access for area residents. Stakeholders will use this information as a basis for exchanging ideas, informing priorities, and informing policy direction and potential strategies to deliver high-quality multimodal access for communities.

The sub-applicant agencies will be responsible for reviewing data and for supplying available data (e.g., demographics, equity factors, governance and staffing, environmental, funding) for their jurisdictions as needed to fill in data gaps.

Population characteristics to gather and analyze can include, but are not limited to:
 Population density, activity density, and employment density (i.e., proximity of jobs, housing, destinations/major points of interest)

Memorandum of Understanding by and between City of Arcata and HCAOG

 Service Equity & Justice40 factors that contribute to transportation burdens, e.g., zerovehicle households; low-income households; race and ethnicity; age; limited English proficiency; low-wage jobs; job types; off-peak hour commutes; and mobility disabilities.
 Populations/areas overburdened by pollution.
 Disadvantages Communities in Humboldt as defined in the RTP, VROOM 2022-2042.  Dimensions designating communities as burdened by underinvestment in transportation, per USDOT: Transportation Insecurity, Climate and Disaster Risk Burden, Environmental Burden, Health Vulnerability, and Social Vulnerability.  Other applicable factors identified as contributing to marginalizing communities. • Transit Market Analysis & Regional Operations Assessment Consultants will analyze the existing transit network and develop scenarios for improving, expanding, and enhancing multimodal access, mobility, and funding stability. The Project Steering Working Group, which includes PAACT sub-applicants, will work directly with consultants. The sub-applicant agencies will be responsible for reviewing data and for supplying available data for their jurisdictions as needed to fill in data gaps (e.g., existing conditions, adopted policies, and/or programs for transit, transportation network, travel patterns, land use, health and safety outcomes, etc.). As applicable, sub-applicants will provide presentations and/or tours of transit systems in their respective jurisdictions (e.g. HTA, Arcata, Eureka, Yurok, Blue Lake, unincorporated County).

Task 2 Deliverables
• A purpose statement or vision statement for Humboldt regional transit service or for regional active mobility. (Collectively deliberated and developed by consensus.) • Review and comment on draft plan/technical memos and mapping (administrative draft, public review draft, and final).
• Attendance at presentations and/or tours of transit systems in sub-applicants’ jurisdictions. (This task includes travel costs.)
• Attendance at Project Steering Working Group meetings.

Task 3: Land Use-Transportation Policy Connections
Because land uses and population densities are fundamental in determining viable transit operations and multimodal choices, this project includes specific work to engage ongoing dialogue and collaboration among transit operators and planners and land use authorities. This task includes work to explicitly discuss, study, and dialogue on what strategies would best govern the vision of regional transit service and multimodal networks.

Task work will include researching relevant land use policies and identifying applicable best practices that promote transit and active transportation, and sharing this with local jurisdictions.

The project team, the Project Steering Working Group (including all sub-applicants) and partners will explore opportunities for incorporating more of these policies into local and tribal jurisdictions’ applicable planning documents and processes (e.g. General Plans, Tribal Plans,

Memorandum of Understanding by and between City of Arcata and HCAOG

Specific Plans, Transit Development Plans, etc.). Partners will collaborate on building consensus for regionally-focused policy as well as local policy that effects the regional multimodal network.

The Project Steering Working Group, and other project partners as applicable, will be convened to explore ways that land-use authority agencies can improve processes for integrating land use and transit/active mobility in their standard procedures. Specifically, work will seek to identify and implement procedures for improving regular agency consultation with Humboldt Transit Authority. Project Steering Working Group sub-applicants will help coordinate and facilitate meetings with, and review and input from, other pertinent staff, departments, and elected officials of their respective agencies.

Task 3 Deliverables
• Attendance at Project Steering Working Group meetings. • Coordination of, facilitation and attendance at meetings with other pertinent staff, departments, and elected officials of jurisdiction’s respective agency. As applicable: staff reports to advisory group(s), meeting sign-in sheets.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services PREPARER: Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services DATE: July 16, 2025
TITLE: Adopt Ordinance No. 1580, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata, Adding Section 3200 to Designate Fire Hazard Severity Zones to Chapter 1, Fire Prevention and Fire Protection, Of Title III, Public Safety, of the Arcata Municipal Code.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 1580, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata, Adding Section 3200 to Designate Fire Hazard Severity Zones to Chapter 1, Fire Prevention and Fire Protection, Of Title III, Public Safety, of the Arcata Municipal Code.

INTRODUCTION:

CalFire is legislatively required to evaluate fire hazard severity in local responsibility areas (e.g. incorporated cities, urban regions and agricultural lands where a local government is responsible for wildfire protection). CalFire regularly updates fire hazard severity zone (FHSZ) maps for local responsibility areas, but in 2025 it became a requirement for local agencies with Moderate and/or High FHSZs to adopt CalFire’s FHSZ maps for their jurisdiction with an ordinance.

City staff have reviewed both the information from CalFire and the California Building Code to ensure that adoption of an FHSZ map for Arcata with a significant portion of the city mapped as a Moderate FHSZ would not have any unintended consequences for property owners. The City will continue to encourage property owners in the Moderate FHSZ to utilize best practices for new construction for fire hardening the exterior of homes and properties.

On June 18, 2025, the City Council voted to introduce Ordinance No. 1580. On July 16, 2025, the City Council voted to adopt the ordinance; however, the Exhibit A Fire Severity Zones Map was not included with the agenda item, so it is recommended to adopt Ordinance No. 1580 with the attachment included.

BACKGROUND:

The latest mapping by CalFire of FHSZs within Humboldt County was released in late February 2025. CalFire’s FHSZ map for Arcata designates much of Arcata east of Highway 101 as a Moderate FHSZ including much of the Sunny Brae neighborhood and Cal Poly Humboldt campus as well as the Arcata Community Forest Tract and Sunny Brae Forest Tract. The majority of the City’s Jacoby Creek Forest Tract is mapped as a Moderate FHSZ though a sliver is designated as High

FHSZ. FHSZs maps evaluate “hazard” not “risk,” and hazard is mapped from physical conditions on the ground that may create expected fire behavior over a 50-year period.

The current Arcata Municipal Code Title III Public Safety Chapter 1 Fire Prevention and Fire Protection details that all fire protection and prevention duties within the City of Arcata are the responsibility of the Arcata Fire Protection District. Adoption of Ordinance No. 1580 would amend this chapter to add a new section which designates FHSZs in Arcata as mapped by CalFire.

DISCUSSION:

The requirement for a local responsibility area (i.e. fire services provided by a local district/agency, such as Arcata Fire, and not provided by CalFire) with moderate fire severity is to adopt CalFire’s FHSZ maps so community members are informed of the hazard. There are additional requirements for local responsibility areas mapped as high fire severity (such as hazard disclosures and additional requirements in the California Building Code); however, the small portion of the Jacoby Creek Forest Tract mapped as high severity is public property zoned “Nature Resource” for which required hazard disclosures and building code requirements are not relevant.

City staff have reviewed both the information from CalFire and the California Building Code to ensure that adoption of a FHSZ map for Arcata with a significant portion of the city mapped as a moderate FHSZ would not have any unintended consequences for property owners.

The adoption of this FHSZ map will not impact insurance availability or rates as insurance companies use risk models which differ from hazard models. Additionally, FHSZ maps for local responsibility areas such as Arcata have been published by CalFire for decades; however, this is the first year that CalFire is requiring local jurisdictions to formally adopt CalFire’s mapping if a Moderate or High FHSZ is mapped within the jurisdiction. (Previously only Very High FHSZs were required for adoption within Local Responsibility Areas.) The City made the Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) map available for public review and comment in March 2025 (https://www.cityofarcata.org/322/MapsGIS). This topic was also agendized by the Forest Management Committee at its March 13, 2025, meeting. The Forest Management Committee did not make any further recommendations to the City Council.

While members of the public can comment on the maps, per CalFire “a local agency may only increase the level of fire hazard severity . . . Fire hazard severity cannot be decreased.” As stated in the City’s General Plan policies, the City will continue to encourage property owners in the Moderate FHSZ to utilize best practices for fire hardening the exterior of homes and properties.

Staff recommend adopting the FHSZ map for Arcata as designated by CalFire.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

This adopted ordinance will bring the City into compliance with state regulations that local jurisdictions with Moderate, High and/or Very High FHSZs adopt the designation via local ordinance and submit the adopted ordinance to the state.

The City’s General Plan Public Safety Element has two policies relevant to this ordinance – PS-5d Management of wildland fire hazards and PS-5e Wildland fire risk reduction and defensible space around homes. The adoption of the FHSZ map is in line with these policies and is another tool to encourage property owners in the Moderate FHSZ to follow best practices for fire hardening the exterior of homes and properties.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

The adoption of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map is not considered a “Project” under CEQA.

Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, a “project” is defined as a “whole action” subject to a public agency’s discretionary funding or approval that has the potential to either (1) cause a direct physical change in the environment or (2) cause a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The adoption of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map is therefore not subject to CEQA.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

This ordinance will have a minimal impact on the City’s budget. City GIS staff can ensure the FHSZ map on the City website and GIS portal remain up to date if updated by CalFire.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 1580, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata, Adding Section 3200 to Designate Fire Hazard Severity Zones to Chapter 1, Fire Prevention and Fire Protection, Of Title III, Public Safety, of the Arcata Municipal Code. Consent Calendar vote.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services PREPARER: Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services DATE: August 6, 2025
TITLE: Award a Contract in the Amount of $95,739.62 to GHD, Inc., for Environmental Monitoring Professional Services to Support the Construction Phase of the Annie and Mary Trail Project; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute All Applicable Documents.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Award a Contract in the Amount of $95,739.62 to GHD, Inc., for Environmental Monitoring Professional Services to Support the Construction Phase of the Annie and Mary Trail Connectivity Project; and
2) Authorize City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

The City continues to advance the Arcata Annie & Mary Trail Connectivity Project to provide a safe walking and biking route from the existing northern terminus of the Humboldt Bay Trail at the Arcata Skate Park to the Valley West neighborhood, the Aldergrove business park, and the Mad River at the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District’s Park 1.

The City released a construction bid on July 23, 2025, and anticipates construction of the trail project to commence in September 2025. This proposed contract with GHD will support City staff in environmental compliance monitoring during the construction phase of the Arcata Annie & Mary Trail Connectivity Project.

BACKGROUND:

Completion of the Arcata Annie & Mary Trail has been a City Council priority for many years and has been a priority Capital Improvement Project. The Arcata Annie & Mary Trail Connectivity Project will provide a safe, separated non-motorized transportation route between downtown Arcata and Valley West and the Aldergrove Industrial Park employment center, and between affordable neighborhoods, including the Yurok Indian Housing Authority 30th Street Commons Improvement Project, and Cal Poly Humboldt. The project will also provide a safe family-friendly connection to the nearby Mad River. The City has worked in partnership with the Great Redwood Trail Agency, Caltrans District 1, Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District (HBMWD), the County of Humboldt, Cal Poly Humboldt and resource agencies to develop the Arcata Annie & Mary Trail.

On June 30, 2021, the City solicited a Request for Proposal (RFP) from qualified firms seeking an experienced consulting firm to complete the Project Approval and Environmental Documentation (PA&ED) phase, for the Arcata Annie & Mary Trail Connectivity Project. The RFP was structured such that the City has the option to award a contract to the chosen firm for subsequent phases of design and right-of-way and/or construction management once phase funding is allocated by the California Transportation Commission. The City received two proposals from qualified firms, and after applications were rated and scored, the GHD team was selected. GHD’s team has supported the City in successfully completing the planning, design and right-of-way project phases.

In June 2025, the California Transportation Commission approved the allocation of funding for the construction phase of the project. Funding for this project is through a variety of sources including a grant from Caltrans’ Cycle 5 Active Transportation Program, SHOPP funds secured with a partnership with Caltrans District 1, an MOU with Yurok Indian Housing Authority and City of Arcata Measure G funds.

DISCUSSION:

The City’s Engineering Department will lead the construction management for the project and Environmental Services staff will lead the environmental permit compliance monitoring with support from the GHD team. Specifically, GHD’s tasks for environmental monitoring will include:
• Preconstruction surveys for nesting birds, roosting bats, and special status wildlife • Soil and groundwater management plan implementation support • Wetland mitigation monitoring
• Project management and coordination
This environmental monitoring support will assist the City to ensure compliance with our anticipated environmental permit requirements and the mitigation monitoring reporting plan adopted with the CEQA Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration. City staff anticipate a potential contract amendment at a later date to add on-call construction management support services to this contract.

At that time, staff would bring a recommended contract amendment to the Council for consideration.

The City has completed designs and secured all rights-of-way for the Annie & Mary Trail project.

Staff anticipate that construction will commence in September 2025 and be completed by December 2026.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Initiating construction of the Arcata Annie & Mary Connectivity Trail Project is identified as a City Council 2025/26 Priority Project. Completing the Annie & Mary Trail is also recognized as a City priority in the Parks & Recreation Master Plan. The project is on the City CIP list (48-07). Finally, the Annie & Mary Trail is also a priority regional commuter trail project in the Humboldt County Association of Governments’ Regional Transportation Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for this project and adopted by the City Council on December 9, 2022.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract amount will be covered by the budget allocation in the 2025/26 Fiscal Year for Annie & Mary Trail Construction Management. This contract is budgeted as follows:

Annie and Mary Trail Project $95,739.62 Account 210-70-48-51770 RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Task 2.1 – 2.3 Preconstruction Surveys for Nesting Birds, Roosting Bats, and Special Status Wildlife GHD will provide a qualified biologist(s) to conduct preconstruction surveys for special status wildlife species including northern red-legged frog, foothill yellow legged frog, northwestern pond turtle, roosting bats, and nesting migratory bird species as-needed throughout the construction phase of the Project. If active bird nests are detected during preconstruction surveys, they will be regularly monitored until nesting activity ceases. If suspected bat roosts are detected during preconstruction surveys, follow-up emergent bat surveys will be conducted to confirm roosting status. If occupied suitable habitat for special status reptiles and amphibians is detected during preconstruction surveys, relocations of sensitive species will be conducted as necessary.

Qualified biologist(s) will follow survey guidance from the Environmental Protection Actions detailed in the MMRP. Methods and results from each survey and recommendations to protect identified sensitive resources will be reported to appropriate project personnel and documented with a technical memorandum for compliance records.

Task 2.1 – 2.3 Deliverables
– Up to five preconstruction surveys for nesting birds, roosting bats, and special status wildlife documented by technical memoranda (one per survey). Technical memoranda will be developed only if findings are positive. Email documentation will be provided if findings are entirely negative. – As-needed active nest monitoring between February 1 and August 31. – Up to four emergent bat surveys as needed to confirm suspected roosting status. – Up to three as-needed amphibian and/or reptile relocation events.

Task 2.4 Soil and Groundwater Management Plan Implementation Support GHD will prepare an addendum to the SGMP if warranted based on future sampling results. GHD will assist the city with overseeing that contractor’s implementation of the Soil and Groundwater Management Plan (SGMP).

Work will include the development of an addendum that will be attached to the SGMP following receipt of the soil sampling analytical results for the remainder of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and metals analyses.

Task 2.3 Deliverables
– SGMP Addendum for PAH and metals results.
– As-requested support on a time and materials basis not to exceed the Task 2.4 allowance shown in the attached 10-H format fee schedule
Task 3 – Year 3 Happy Valley Wetland and Other Waters Mitigation Monitoring A GHD wetland scientist(s) will conduct Year-3 monitoring and reporting consistent with the monitoring section of the Project’s Final HMMP. Year-3 monitoring includes a baseline quantitative summary of the Happy Valley mitigation site and a brief qualitative summary of conditions as compared to Year-1. Results from Year-3 monitoring of the Happy Valley mitigation site will be compared to Year-1, supported by photos.

Happy Valley Wetland Mitigation Monitoring
A GHD wetland scientist(s) will quantitatively conduct monitoring and reporting consistent with monitoring requirements and vegetation success criteria documented in Section 5 of the Final HMMP. In addition, the report will document comparative updates and trends relative to the Year-1 establishment monitoring event conducted by the City. Recommendations for adaptive management will be provided directly to the City and will be integrated into the final reporting document as desired.

Quantitative monitoring and reporting will include:

Ghd.com | Annie and Mary Trail Construction Phase Support 3 • Quantitative assessment of success criteria (in HMMP) for wetland mitigation area; and • Monitoring methodology and data summary.

Qualitative monitoring and reporting will include:
• Notation of distinctive pattern of plant die-off and overall plant survival compared to planted species and quantities from Year-1 documentation of mitigation; • Mitigation site plantings’ overall vigor and health and recommendations for corrective action if the site is observed to be failing;
• Notable encroachment of non-native species into the mitigation area; • Removal of non-native species from the mitigation area and documentation of other maintenance activities, if any;
• Captioned photographs; and
• Recommended adaptative management and stewardship considerations.

Results of both quantitative and qualitative monitoring in Year-3 at the Happy Valley mitigation site will be included in one report summary (template provided by City) for the City to use as a standalone report or to be combined with results of Others Water monitoring event summaries that the City will produce.

Task 3 Deliverables
– Draft and final monitoring report for Year-3 monitoring events Task 3 Assumptions
– The details of monitoring requirements outlined in this scope are based on the draft second revision of the Project HMMP (“Rev2”). Details of monitoring commitments may change based on final NCRWQCB approval of the finalized HMMP, which has yet to occur. – The City will conduct Year-1 monitoring for each mitigation site as outlined in the HMMP and will provide GHD with necessary information to complete Year-3 monitoring, including the draft Year-1 report template developed for Year-1 reporting and established photo point GPS locations and “before” photos. – Up to two rounds of City comments will be addressed between the draft and final report. – If mitigation success must be demonstrated in Year-3 based on results of quantitative monitoring, additional scope and fee may be developed to provide a separate site analysis to document wetland soil and/or hydrology indicators supporting three-parameter development and incorporate results into Year-3 monitoring report.
– If mitigation success is demonstrated in Year-3, then the City will engage agency personnel to close out the Project.
– Up to one round of agency (NCRWQCB) comments will be addressed after final report submittal. – The following tasks are not included in the scope and fee estimate:
• Monitoring of Other Waters mitigation sites, re-created wetland ditches, or SNC mitigation sites • Agency correspondence for reports and results contained therein • Additional site analyses to document wetland parameters (i.e., hydrology indicators) outside of summer season vegetation monitoring
• Submittal of request to close out Project monitoring with agencies, pending results of Year-3 monitoring

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services PREPARER: Doug Culbert, Deputy Director of Environmental Services, Streets & Utilities DATE: August 6, 2025
TITLE: Award a Contract to Northpoint Consulting Group, Inc. for Engineering Services for the City of Arcata–First Street Lift Station Improvement Project in the Amount of $162,600; and Approve Necessary and Associated Related Actions.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Award a contract to Northpoint Consulting Group, Inc. for Engineering Services for the City of Arcata–First Street Lift Station Improvement Project in the amount of $162,600; 2) Authorize the City Manager to increase the contract amount by up to $8,130 (five percent for a total not to exceed $170,730) to allow for unforeseen contingencies; and 3) Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

On May 29, 2025, the City solicited informal bids for Engineering Services for the First Street Lift Station Improvement Project. The project includes replacing the current natural gas sewage pumps with 3-phase electrical submersible pumps. Additionally, the piping will need to be redesigned for access purposes in the confined space for maintenance as well as for more efficient flow through the lift station. Upgrades to the building and the addition of a gantry crane for safely pulling the pumps are also needed. This First Street Lift Station project has been in the Capital Improvement Program for several fiscal years.

DISCUSSION:

The City has a goal of working to switch from natural and liquid gas fuel to electric in various sectors each year to support climate action. Replacing the current sewage lift station motors that operate on natural gas with 3-phase electrical motors aligns with the goal. Additionally, it is now difficult to obtain parts for the current pumps if they need repairs. The proposed electric pumps are widely used throughout our system and parts are more accessible. Modifications to the lift station building are also needed for more efficient operation of the lift station and managing wastewater flows more effectively into the Arcata Wastewater Treatment Facility (AWTF). Flow into the lift station routinely backs up to upstream lift stations due to the outdated design of the piping collection system entering the lift station. This project seeks to address these issues by designing a sewage receiving pipe system that provides the operators with the option to divert flow directly to the AWTF and bypass the bottleneck of the lift station during high flow events.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

Environmental review will be conducted for the First Street Lift Station Project as the design process commences. It is anticipated that the planned improvements will be categorically exempt from environmental review based on the following sections of the CEQA Statute & Guidelines handbook:
 Section 15301 (b) existing facilities of both investor and publicly-owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility services and  15302 (c) replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The budget for this request is within budget allocation under the Wastewater Fund, Activity 67 in the 2025/2026 Fiscal Year. The funds for this project are budgeted as follows:

Account Number Amount Account Name
662-70-67-57604 $170,730 Capital – 1
st Street Pump
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Award a contract to Northpoint Consulting Group, Inc. for Engineering Services for the City of Arcata–First Street Lift Station Improvement Project in the amount of $162,600; 2) Authorize the City Manager to increase the contract amount by up to $8,130 (five percent for a total not to exceed $170,730) to allow for any unforeseen contingencies; and 3) Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.
