Arcata City Council
September 17, 2025

Staff are recommending that the Council provide support for the fair in an amount equivalent to the anticipated use fees for the event, in the amount of approximately $1,981.

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 North Country Fair, 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 $6,450 for three similar sponsorship requests, leaving a remainder of $18,550 for other such requests.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to approve a sponsorship in an amount equivalent to the Plaza event fees of $1,981 for the Same Old People’s North Country Fair to be held on the Arcata Plaza on September 20 and 21, 2025. Consent Calendar vote.

Dear Arcata City Council Members,
On behalf of the North Country Fair and the board of directors, "the Same Old People," I would like to request assistance with the event fees for the Major Event Permit for the use of the Arcata Plaza on Saturday and Sunday, September 20 & 21, 2025. This request is specifically for the fees included on the event permit, the temporary business license fees for participating vendors are paid separately.

This year marks the 51st annual North Country Fair, which has grown from a single day event, to a full weekend of fun for our community. This event hosts 3 stages of local music and performances, two major parades, and over 200 vendors, which include local artisans, non-profits, and food offerings. Each vendor is hand selected by a jury to be part of this event so we can prioritize a local emphasis, keep a diverse selection of offerings for the community, offer opportunities to new artists, and focus on exclusively handmade goods. The North Country Fair is a highly valued event to participate in, and we regularly receive far more quality applications than we have space for.

While the components of this event have a hyper-local focus, the North Country Fair brings many people from outside our area to support local artists and vendors at this event, bringing in abundant tourism dollars for local hotels and lodging, supporting many local restaurants and businesses over the weekend of the event.

The North Country Fair was the first major event in Arcata to ban the sale of plastic water bottles and this event has since set precedent for zero waste goals for all other community events. We have also given guidance and acted as a model for waste reduction at other events across the country. We are proud to say that plastics reduction and sorting compost and recycling from landfill waste are now standard at local events due to initiatives originating at the North Country Fair. We also utilize volunteers from many non-profits, community organizations, and the university to keep the fair running smoothly, from bike valet to sorting compost.

The North Country Fair is one of the—and possibly the only—major event

in our area that does not accept sponsorships. I frequently find myself explaining the shoestring budget for this event and that we quite often only make enough money to execute the event again the next year. The choice to not accept sponsorships despite general rising costs, along with a strong desire to both keep this event free for the public and affordable for participating local artists, means our budget gets leaner every year. We rely on the support of local downtown businesses like Plaza, Daydream, Hot Knots, Jacoby Storehouse businesses who provide vital resources for the success of this event.

We understand that the city has recently waived the fees for other local events. In this spirit, I am requesting, on behalf of the Same Old People and the North Country Fair, that the City Council waive all event fees for the 2025 fair. Your support of local events is recognized and we appreciate your consideration for similar help.

Best,
Alex Ozaki-McNeill

STAFF REPORT – PLANNING COMMISSION

MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: David Loya, Director of Community Development
PREPARER: David Loya, Director of Community Development DATE: September 17, 2025
TITLE: Adopt Resolution No. 256-11 Establishing the Community Benefits Program; Action Not Subject to Additional California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Review.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Council adopt Resolution No. 256-11 establishing the community benefits program.

INTRODUCTION:

The Planning Commission worked on the community benefits program associated with the Gateway Area Plan in late 2022 and through 2023. The Council ultimately moved the community benefit program out of the Gateway Area Plan and into the General Plan so it could be applied in other areas where zoning specifically authorized the program. The Council decided to adopt the program by resolution instead of imbedding it in zoning ordinance so it could more readily respond to community need. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC-25-06 recommending the program to the City Council. This action will establish the program to be implemented where authorized by the zoning ordinance.

BACKGROUND:

The community benefits program is intended to continue to provide amenities typically provided through discretionary review conditions of approval. They were intended to have nexus and proportionality consistent with case law, while also applying to ministerial approvals, which do not generally allow for “conditions”.

Community benefits are required in the Gateway Area Plan (Chapter 2). But they will be implemented through the combination of the Gateway Code, the Gateway Plan, and Resolution 256- 06, which identifies the specific community benefits. Future ordinances may also reference this resolution, or separate community benefits may be developed for other areas that apply the program.

The Planning Commission made a recommendation to Council based on previous community conversations and several public meetings on August 12, 2025.

DISCUSSION:

The Commission made one recommendation that is not reflected in Resolution 256-11. After some deliberations, the Commission decided to collapse 1, 8, and 22 into one item. Staff does not recommend this because of the structure of the program. The program requires that community benefits be selected in different categories. The benefits the Commission recommended collapsing are in different categories. Collapsing them would complicate the program.

In addition, there are no economies of scale to be achieved by collapsing benefits. In fact, the opposite may be true. Since the program requires developers to select a number of benefits based on the scope and scale of development, collapsing the benefits yields fewer options to select. In addition, combining unlike benefits would preclude two or more of the combined benefits being selected since they would be combined as options under a single benefit. The developer would only get credit once for selecting the line item. Then the line would be excluded from subsequent draws.

To simplify the program, staff has prepared a benefits resolution with each in its own category. If Council wishes to follow the Commissions recommendation and combine line items, staff recommends the Council pull the item from consent for discussion.

Staff also removed reference to the Gateway Area Plan in the community benefits program. The Planning Commission had previously recommended removing the reference. However, it was still in the Resolution PC-25-06.

In addition to the specific benefits and their point values, the Commission recommended that the program operate based on a points and categories system. The proposal requires an increasing number of points as building height increases. The points are the totals of each benefit selected using the assigned point value for that benefit. In addition, a greater number of individual benefits will be required as building height increases. Lastly, the number of categories increases with building height as well. The intention is to disburse the number and types of benefits across categories with larger scale impact. The table below summarizes the proposal.

Stories Points
Benefits
Min
Categories
Min
4 3 1 1
5 4 2 1
6 5 3 2
7 6 4 2
It is important to keep the context of the permitting process in mind. The form-based codes that will use the Community Benefits program will also have several design standards in addition to the community benefits. Many of these design standards are also similar to conditions of approval. For example, many of the street frontages require private property be integrated as an extension of the sidewalk, providing better public access and a more dynamic pedestrian environment.

If there are benefits Councilmembers feel should be added, the item should be pulled for discussion.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

This proposal retains the policy intent to achieve off-site investment in the community to offset the impacts of higher-density projects that do not require discretionary review.

COMMITTEE/COMMISSION REVIEW:

This item had extensive Committee and Commission review and recommendation.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

This action will be covered under the General Plan EIR.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to adopt Resolution No. 256-11 establishing the community benefits program. Consent Calendar vote.

Exhibit 1
Community Benefits Program
The program provides project-based benefit to the community by establishing private investment in both public and publicly accessible private spaces as a condition of private development. The level of investment is scaled proportionally to the size of development with larger developments requiring higher levels of community benefit than smaller developments. This program applies in conjunction with the ministerial approvals established through form-based codes in various areas in Arcata. Projects subject to the community benefits program are not subject to discretionary approval and do not have conditions of approval. Instead, this program establishes nexus and proportionality scaled relative to the scope of development.

This program is established by the City Council via resolution and may be reviewed periodically to ensure the program is effective. The Council intents the program to be stable over time, while reserving the discretion to amend it to ensure it is responsive to the community need.

The Program has three steps. First, establish that the project is subject to the program. Second, determine the number of points required, as well as the minimum number of benefits and categories based on the number of stories. The combination of points, benefits number and categories is established in Table 1.

Third, the project proponent selects community benefits outlined in Table 2 until they have satisfied the number and type established in step 2.

Table 1. Benefit scaling table. This table establishes the number and types of benefits required based on the project scope and scale.

For the purposes of the program, stories shall be interpreted as any level where more than 30% of the building footprint area includes enclosed habitable space as defined by the Building Code. Open areas, such as roof top spaces do not count towards the floor area of a story. The Community Development Director may interpret the provisions of this program as they relate to the zoning ordinance under the authority established in the Land Use Code Section 9.10.050.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Netra Khatri, City Engineer
PREPARER: Mara Grow, Administrative Specialist
DATE: September 17, 2025
TITLE: Award a Contract in the Amount of $500,000 to Smith Group, Inc. for Professional Services for Planning, Community Outreach and Preliminary Concept Design for the Reconnect Arcata Project.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Award a contract in the amount of $500,000 to Smith Group, Inc., for professional services for planning, community outreach and preliminary concept design for the Reconnect Arcata Project; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

The City of Arcata was selected to receive funding for this project through the California Air Resources Board – California Climate Investments (CARB/CCI) via Caltrans, for the initial phase of the Reconnecting Communities: Highways to Boulevards State Pilot Program (RC:H2B). This program was established to plan for and fund the conversion of underutilized highways in California into multi-modal corridors that reconnect communities divided by transportation infrastructure. The program seeks to address the historical negative impacts of highway construction through community-based transportation planning, design, demolition, and/or reconstruction of city streets, parks, or other infrastructure. The project in Arcata intends to serve as a model for “reconnecting communities” impacted by highway bifurcation in the North Coast region and across California.

Project locations are depicted in Exhibit A.

BACKGROUND:

Due to the State’s ongoing budget shortfall, funding for the project has been delayed. It has now been more than 18 months since the City was selected for this and announced to the public. The community is anxious and ready to move forward.

City staff continue to pursue state and federal grant funding in partnership with Caltrans, and we remain hopeful for future success. To maintain momentum and demonstrate commitment, staff recommend allocating $500,000 from local Streets funds to initiate the Community Readiness and Planning phase of project in order to lay the foundation for long-term safety and connectivity improvements. This early investment will better position the City to secure additional funding for future phases.

The Community Readiness and Planning phase activities will include identifying key partners, facilitating discussions with regional stakeholders, reviewing past efforts to improve transportation safety, and analysis of existing conditions. Deliverables will include preparation of a community engagement plan, a stakeholder map, a fiscal strategy, and a conceptual Project Master Plan and Report to serve as the framework for advancing the project into future phases. Ultimately, the project will result in a prioritized, tiered list of implementable projects that address the community’s most urgent safety and connectivity needs across all transportation modes.

DISCUSSION:

On May 23, 2025, the City issued a Request for Qualifications & Proposals (RFQP) seeking experienced transportation planning and engineering consultant teams with expertise in multimodal design, planning, and outreach to help prepare a community-driven plan. The RFQP was released under the assumption that the City would receive state funds for this program. However, upon learning of a delay in funding, the City issued an addendum notifying proposers of the revised project budget of $500,000.

The City received four qualified proposals, which were reviewed, evaluated, and ranked by an selection committee consisting of City staff and staff from Cal Poly Humboldt; a regional Caltrans representative also reviewed the proposals and participated in the selection committee’s discussions but did not participate in the evaluation or ranking process. The top-ranked consultant, Smith Group + GHD, was invited to participate in an interview process.

Smith Group’s cost proposal for the project is included in Attachment B, and their statement of qualifications and technical proposal can be viewed online HERE. The City’s project team plans to work with Smith Group to refine the scope of work prior to executing the contract to ensure it adequately addresses the anticipated needs of the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

Environmental review will occur later during the next phase of the project, Project Approval and Environmental Documentation (PA&ED).

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract amount was initially included in the FY 2025–26 budget based on the anticipated grant award. However, due to the State budget shortfall, the City has not yet received the grant funds. Staff therefore recommend allocating $500,000 from the General Fund to award the contract and initiate the project.

City of Arcata  Reconnecting Arcata SmithGroup + GHD 4

CLARIFICATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The following assumptions are based on SmithGroup’s
current understanding of the RFPQ. We look forward to
tailoring our scope and fees to better align with the City of Arcata’s goals, objectives, and desired schedule for this effort. „ Our total lump sum fee of $500,000 (Five hundred
Thousand dollars) for the first step budget and
$2,500,000 (Two Million Five Hundred Thousand
dollars) for the completion of the work as outlined
in the proposal includes all labor and expenses.
„ We reserve the right to adjust hourly
rates on an annual basis.
„ All final planning materials will be provided in electronic format for use by the City of Arcata. Printed copies
can be provided at an additional cost if required.
„ The services, staffing, and fees outlined herein have been based on the schedule outlined in our proposal. If the project schedule is extended or paused for periods
of inactivity in excess of two (2) weeks, we would like to discuss with the City if additional fees may be requested. „ Documents provided will not be ADA-accessible
for use by individuals with disabilities or other
assistive technologies and can be provided as ADAaccessible for an additional fee if required. „ Community Engagement: Our team will cover
engagement based on our understanding that equal
weight should be given to all community groups as
we have done on many of our recent projects. Upon
further discussion with the City, we will be happy to
recommend local engagement consultants if needed.
„ Translation Services: We can have a Spanish speaking
team member available in the room where necessary to
assist Spanish speakers. Live simultaneous translation
through headsets can be provided through local vendor
services as an additional service if requested.

Clarifications and Assumptions for Scope
beyond the first step $500,000 budget:
„ Renderings (not in the first step $500,000 budget):

Up to four (4) renderings and one physical model are
included in the budget. Additional renderings can
be provided if desired as an additional service.
„ We anticipate renderings (not in the first step $500,000 budget) will be completed by a SmithGroup visualization specialist; however, SmithGroup reserves the right to
reallocate the budget and engage an external visualization consultant or vendor to undertake the work, if necessary. „ Preliminary planning level survey (not in first step
$500,000 budget) is to be undertaken for Community
Readiness and Planning based on existing materials.

The survey will be coordinated by GHD and based on
2019 LIDAR (elevations info) and 2022 aerial. SmithGroup reserves the right to reallocate the budget and engage
Points West as an advisor, if needed, pending the
assembly of the record information. If a detailed
survey becomes necessary, we will discuss with the
City of Arcata if additional services are required.
„ Historic and Cultural Conditions Assessment (not in first step $500,000 budget) A high-level assessment within
the three project areas will be conducted based upon the work the City has done previously to prepare the grant
application and including survey of public spaces and
cultural assessment. Our team will conduct a Records
Search of the study area to gather all previous cultural records and reports, and we will conduct localized
research of the City of Arcata Historical Register and
relevant background within the three project areas.

Based on the records search, we will undertake a
“high-level” analysis of historical and cultural context to identify areas of concern or constraint within the
project areas. If additional assessment or mitigation is required, this can be provided as an additional service. „ Web site updates: At the outset of the project
SmithGroup IT web specialists will meet with the City
of Arcata to discuss alternatives for a compatible
web page platform that is efficient and convenient
for all parties. If any specialized platforms are
needed, above SmithGroup’s standard web services,
we would like to request an additional fee.
„ Printing costs and materials for engagement are
included in the total fee. An assumption of up to
$2,500 has been assumed for community engagement
materials, prints, display boards, etc. throughout
the duration of the project. Based on past projects,
we feel this will be sufficient. If this amount is
exceeded, we may request an additional fee.
„ We assume spaces for community events will be on
City of Arcata owned properties with no space rental
fee requirements. We request the City of Arcata to
cover any rental costs if our assumption is incorrect.
„ It is our intent to use existing materials to document existing conditions unless the Scope of Services
specifically identifies the preparation of new
data. We will prepare a list of the information and
data needed. The City of Arcata staff will assume
responsibility for obtaining and providing copies
of existing pertinent reports, data, and related
materials, including Local Road Safety Plans,
General Plans, the Regional Transportation Plan,
Caltrans District 1 Active Transportation Plan,
Capital Improvement Plans, Bike Plans, GIS, and
other related public infrastructure plans, etc.
„ Material to be provided by the SmithGroup + GHD
Team to the City of Arcata in native formats such
as CAD, GIS, etc. will be provided at a master plan
level for conceptual master planning purposes.
„ Demonstration Projects: (not in the first step $500,000 budget) We assume the demonstration project will be for educational purposes and a location will be selected that is not in Caltrans ROW and will not require securing of permits. For example, we could work with the City to set up demonstration traffic calming features, streetscape
features, multimodal features, or other urban and
transportation planning concepts on a local street or
premise within City jurisdiction and rights of way.
„ If agreements are required to access any areas for site investigations, walking tours, or other reasons, we
assume the City of Arcata will facilitate agreements and permissions. City to pay for any permitting required.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Netra Khatri, City Engineer
PREPARER: David Caisse, Assistant City Engineer
DATE: September 17, 2025
TITLE: Receive and Approve an Update on the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and Approve an update on the Fiscal Year (FY) 25/26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), including previously completed projects, current projects and future projects.

INTRODUCTION:

The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a planning and budgeting tool that identifies major infrastructure projects, their funding sources, and anticipated schedules. It provides a roadmap for investing in the City’s long-term needs—such as transportation, utilities, and public facilities— while balancing available resources. In doing so, the CIP helps ensure projects are prioritized, coordinated, and aligned with the community’s goals and future growth.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Arcata’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a five-year planning tool used to forecast and prioritize capital needs across the community. While funding for the first year is formally adopted and allocated, the remaining four years serve as a guide for planning future projects. Because factors such as the tax base, grant opportunities, community priorities, and regulatory requirements can shift over time, the CIP is designed to be flexible and dynamic.

Although the program continually evolves, the document itself is formally updated once every year or two alongside the city budget to align with current goals and available resources.

DISCUSSION:

With the adoption of the City’s Budget on July 1, 2025, staff would like to provide Council with a brief presentation highlighting recent CIP accomplishments. The presentation will touch on projects that have been completed, those currently under construction, and several new projects about to begin. While each project is at a different stage of development—whether in planning, design, or construction—only a summary will be shared here, as more detailed information is available in the CIP document.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the CIP document, as it has been developed in alignment with and is fully consistent with the City’s FY 2025/2026 Adopted Budget.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Receive a staff report.

2. Open public comment.

3. Close public comment.

4. Motion to approve the update on the FY 25/26 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), including previously completed projects, current projects, and future projects.

OVERVIEW
The City of Arcata’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a long-term, multi-year planning tool used to identify the construction, repair, and replacement of major city assets. The CIP is both a fiscal and strategic device that allows for the financing, planning, scoping, and prioritization of all capital projects.

The document provides cost estimates, funding sources, phases, and timing of each project. Although the CIP has been developed to forecast capital needs over a five-year term, only the first year has been adopted. Dollars in the first year of the CIP have been allocated for spending, while the remaining four years are provided for planning purposes. Variables such as tax base, grant availability, priorities and sometimes, changes in regulatory requirements/mandates, make it difficult to definitively plan too far into the future. For this reason, the CIP is considered a dynamic program that is continually changing and being edited; however, this document is updated only once annually (concurrently with the Budget) as part of a City-wide planning process based on current goals and available finances.

The primary purpose of the CIP is to assist in the orderly implementation of the broad and comprehensive goals of the City’s Adopted General Plan. Prior to becoming a CIP project, each project is brought to the Planning Commission to verify consistency with policies found within the General Plan.

As the foundation for the City of Arcata, the General Plan provides a vision of how the city will look, function, provide services and manage resources. The mechanism that the city uses to manage those assets and fulfill that vision, is the CIP.

The City of Arcata is constantly growing and developing and as a result, new assets are constructed each year. Over time, those assets begin to degrade resulting in the need for maintenance and/or repair. As one of the earliest cities in California, the city must continually work to replace its aging infrastructure. Although the CIP does not track the smaller day-to-day repairs, the larger repairs (or replacements) often make it into the CIP due to the amount of planning needed to finance larger capital improvement projects. For the purpose of planning and tracking however, projects which total
roughly $100,000 or more in cost, will make it into the CIP.

PROCESS
In general, the CIP is developed using the following process:

PROJECT SUBMISSION: The first step in developing the CIP is project submission. This “call for projects” generally happens early in the calendar year. Some projects arise solely from one department based on frequency of repairs, location, size and function while others are a result of a collaboration with multiple departments. Potential projects may develop based on a need, Council goals, growth, opportunity (such as grants), and sometimes, as a result of a new regulation or

mandate. Projects that make it into the CIP must be consistent with the City of Arcata’s General Plan and have a funding source.

SCORING AND PRIORITIZATION: Once the projects have been added to the CIP, they are scored and evaluated in order to assist with the prioritization of funding. The overall score is based on three primary categories; General Importance; Need; and Timing. The scores are numerical in value with higher scores representing priority projects. And although projects are scored numerically, a higher score does not necessarily determine the level, or potential for funding for each fiscal year.

Below is a list of the General Importance category choices. This category is meant to identify the various reasons why many projects make it into the CIP. Some projects are required for health and safety, some for recreational purposes, and some for other reasons. Oftentimes, multiple reasons are a factor for why projects are created. Below are a list of “General Importance” factors for why projects are listed in the CIP. The factors in this category are listed in order from highest to lowest score with values ranging from 1 to 5. Because many projects make it to the CIP for multiple reasons, multiple factors (as applicable) may be selected. When more than one factor is selected, their combined values become the total score for this category. The factors below are selected if, “The project…”  Is related to health and safety (5);
 Is necessary to maintain (or improve) an existing public service or desired level of standard (5);  Is a regulatory or mandated requirement (4);
 Supports/encourages climate change adaptation (4);
 Has previous funding allocations and/or future grant opportunities (3);  Aligns with adopted plans and policies of the city (3);  Aligns with specific Council and/or Department goals (2);  Has a social, cultural, or aesthetic benefit to the residents and visitors (2);  Has the potential for generate revenue or provide a return on investment (2);  Reduces energy consumption, operational or maintenance costs (1); and  Has a regional benefit (1).

The next category is Need. This category has fewer choices and is intended to capture the need of the project as it relates to City operations. Similar to the previous category, the choices are listed in order from highest to lowest value with scores ranging from 2 to 8. Only one choice may be selected for this category.
 Asset is required for regular operations (8);
 Asset is needed for Emergency Operations (8);
 Operations are limited without asset (4); and
 Asset is optional (2).

The final category is Timing. This category helps to identify the timeframe in which the project needs to be completed. The choices are listed in order from highest to lowest value with scores ranging from 2 to

10. Only one choice can be selected for this category.
 Urgent: Cannot be delayed (10);
 Necessary: Needed within the next 3 years (8);
 Desirable: Needed within the next 4-6 years (6);

 Delayed/Deferrable: Needed within the next 7-10 years (4); and  Developmental: Research or planning level project and/or construction (2).

The scores from each of the three categories are totaled and combined to give a final, overall score.

Final scores with values ranging between 0 and 10 are considered “Low”, from 11 to 20, “Medium”, from 21 to 30 “High” and scores greater than 30, are considered to be a “Very High” priority.

DETERMINE FUNDING SOURCES/OPPORTUNITIES: The third step involves an analysis of possible funding sources. Depending on the size and nature of the proposed project, the funding may need to be combined using multiple revenue sources such as General Funds, taxes, enterprise funds, grants, and other possible funding sources and/or may need to be phased (or split) among multiple funding years.

PLAN PREPARATION: The next step in the process is to develop a project plan. Some projects require multiple phases for planning, public outreach, design, and construction. These phases can sometimes take many years from start to finish. An example of a project like this might be a large scale project that requires extensive planning and coordination with multiple entities, cultural and/or environmental studies, and extensive project costs (which often require allocations from multiple CIP cycles). Adversely, some projects do not require as much planning however, they often still require some level of design and construction. An example of this kind of project might be an annual rehabilitation project such as our annual paving project. In this case, there is usually only a single design/construction phase that is updated annually solely based on the location of the improvements and funds available. Regardless of which type of project involved, the plan preparation step considers the total project phasing needs from start to finish.

REVIEW AND ADOPTION: Once completed, the draft CIP is circulated to staff for review. At this stage, the proposed funding sources and amounts are verified with the proposed Budget and included in the Budget booklet to Council…for review and adopted.

CIP FUNDING SOURCES
Local government resources are by nature, limited and many funding sources are restricted in use and are often subject to discretionary State (or Local) appropriations. For this reason, the City of Arcata uses a combination of internal and external funding mechanisms. Thus far, the City has been successful in seeking out external funding sources which help make up the CIP budget. Below are various internal and external funding sources and amounts, which make up the majority of the CIP budget this fiscal year.

Internal Sources
The following are the City’s major internal sources of funding for capital investment.

FUND 101 - THE GENERAL FUND ($1.66 M): The General Fund is used to account for the general operations of the City such as Police, City Administration, etc. It is used to account for all financial resources, including property tax, sales tax, business license tax, transient occupancy tax, license and General and other

permits, fines and forfeits, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Notable sources within the General Fund that fund, or supplement funds for various projects are:

MEASURE G ($1.03 M): In November of 2008, 65.19% of Arcata voters approved ballot initiative Measure H–supporting public infrastructure (streets) and public services through a 3/4 cent sales tax increase. Over the past 16 years, Measure G has been instrumental in driving progress. The City has invested approximately $18 million from Measure G into transportationrelated improvements, supporting projects with a combined value of more than $30 million.

Measure G expired on March 31, 2025 and was replaced with Measure H.

MEASURE H ($633 K): In November of 2024, 63.49% of Arcata voters approved ballot initiative Measure G. The revenue generated from this ¾ percent “general” sales tax helps funds programs related to emergency services, climate change, homelessness, mental health, infrastructure, and parks.

FUND 245 – REDEVELOPMENT FUNDS ($750 K): These funds typically come from increases in property taxes within the redevelopment area(s) and are set aside to pay for things like street and sidewalk improvements, building affordable housing, supporting local businesses, and property cleanup.The Successor Agency to the Arcata Community Development Agency gets its funding based on payment schedules (called Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules, or ROPS) that must be approved by both the Successor Agency and the Oversight Board.

FUND 666 – STORMWATER DRAINAGE ($200 K): There is currently no revenue source for this fund. Funds in this account have been subsidized from other accounts (i.e. General Fund) for use on projects related to stormwater conveyance and/or treatment.

FUND 214 – RECREATION FEES ($75 K): These funds come from fees paid for the City’s various recreation programs including summer camps, gymnastics, basketball, community classes, drop-in activities, play center and special events.

Enterprise Funds
Enterprise Funds account for the financing of services to the general public where all or a substantial portion of the costs involved are paid in the form of user charges or fees for such services. These funds are used for operational expenses and Capital projects only.

FUND 661 - WATER FUND ($10.67 M): This fund is used to account for all revenue and expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the City’s water system, including water system maintenance, and water treatment and distribution.

FUND 662 - WASTEWATER FUND ($565 K): This fund is used to account for all income and expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the City’s wastewater system, including wastewater collection, and wastewater treatment.

External Sources
The City continues to aggressively seek grants for a wide variety of projects and needs. Although grants are only available for specific purposes and are often competitive or cyclical, they represent a significant

portion of the City’s CIP funding. Grants are valuable to fund new improvements allowing internal funding to remain available for existing assets and often, necessary for matching or leveraging funding requirements for grants. The following are the City’s major external sources of funding for capital investment.

FUND 207 - GAS TAX ($50 K): These funds are used to account for monies received and expended from the State Gas Tax allocations. These monies are specified for work on street projects within the City.

FUND 208 - SB-1 (RMRA) ($347 K): Fund used to account for monies received and expended from the State’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account for respective street projects.

FUND 210 – STATE AND FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION GRANT FUNDS ($26.76 M): This fund group is made up of multiple state and federal transportation related sources. This year’s CIP includes transportation funds from the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), the Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant (STPG), Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE), the Active Transportation Program (ATP), the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP), and the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).

FUND 219 - RSTP FUND ($135 K): Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funds originate from the federal excise tax on gasoline. The State of California distributes the funds to regional agencies and counties based on population.

FUND 265 – EPA FUND ($200 K): Funds provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to help cities and towns protect the environment and public health. These funds can be used for things like improving drinking water systems, treating wastewater, cleaning up contaminated land, reducing air pollution, or supporting climate and energy programs. This fund is similar to the CWSRF (below) but is directly tied to the Brownfields Grant Project and Little Lakes.

FUND 233 - AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM (AHSC) ($1.01 M): Grants from the Federal AHSC Program that the City applies for and receives are budgeted and accounted for in this fund.

OTHER PARKS GRANT ($250 K): The funds received from the California State Parks grant for the 2025/26 fiscal year are not tracked in a separate account, as they are directly tied to park improvement projects (the Carlson – Mad River Park Trail Project). While they are shown separately here for transparency, these funds are ultimately deposited into and reported as part of the General Fund (101).

CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND (CWSRF - $16.5 M): Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program, through the State Water Resources Control Board, offers grants and low cost financing for a wide variety of water quality projects. The funds received from the CWSRF grant for the 2025/26 fiscal year are not tracked in a separate account, as they are directly tied to sewer improvement projects (the Sewer Inflow & Infiltration Reduction Project and the Wastewater Treatment Plant Reconfiguration Project). While they are shown separately here for transparency, these funds are ultimately deposited into and reported as part of the Wastewater Fund (662).

FEMA HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT PROGRAM (HMGP - $864 K): Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Administered by CalOES, provides funding to state, local, tribal and territorial governments so they can develop hazard mitigation plans and rebuild in a way that reduces, or mitigates, future disaster losses in their communities. The funds received from the HMPG for the 2025/26 fiscal year are not tracked in a separate account, as they are directly tied to a water improvement project (the Plunkett Waterline Improvement Project). While they are shown separately here for transparency, these funds are ultimately deposited into and reported as part of the Water Fund (661).

Other Financing Sources
Other Financing Sources refer to revenue streams and funding mechanisms that are not derived from traditional taxes or service charges. For the purposes of this CIP document, these sources primarily consist of loans or financial contributions from partnering agencies. While intergovernmental aid— such as grants and other transportation infrastructure funding—would typically be classified under this category, it has been presented separately in order to highlight the City’s success in securing grant funding.

ENERGY CONSERVATION ASSISTANCE ACT (ECAA) LOW-INTEREST LOAN - $518 K): The California Energy Commission’s ECAA offers low-interest loans to finance energy efficiency and energy generation projects, energy storage systems, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

CAL POLY HUMBOLDT ($3.00 M): Cal Poly Humboldt contributes financially to the City of Arcata through project partnerships and supporting city revenues. The University is currently providing financial support to two CIP projects (The Annie & Mary Trail, and the Sunset and US 101 Interchange Project).

Year 5
Rehabilitation and maintenance to prepare the well for emergency use when needed. New Piping/check valve, bushings, VFD, transducer
The well is not producing efficiently and discharges heavy iron and manganese concentrations as well as high tubidity. The well could be a redundant provider of water for the system in an emergency but the casing and screens need to be brushed and Air Lifted as well as a drawdown test perfomed.

The pump will deliver 375–390 gpm—exceeding the target flow of 347 gpm. The recommended solution is a 50 hp pump (running at ~44 hp) priced at $8,000, to be operated with a variable frequency drive (VFD).

This is a citywide sewer main rehabilitation project to reduce stormwater Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) into our sewer system. This project includes, approximately 75,478 linear feet of sewer lining and lateral replacement, 12,313 feet of trench excavation and 253 lower lateral replacements.

Based on WWTP operating costs as compared to inflows, it is estimated that it costs the City approx. $3.42 M to treat the 114 million gallons (MG) of I&I that enters our system each year. According to a similar project completed in 2018, this project has the potential to reduce this number by nearly 50 MG. $50,000 was allocated for Planning/Environmental in FY22/23 (resulting in a Notice of Exemption - Filed 1/24/23). The design is underway and expected to be completed by summer of 2023 with construction planned Place Photo Here
