Proclamation
Recognizing January 2026 as
National mentoring month
WHEREAS, this year Big Brothers Big Sisters of the North Coast, CASA of Humboldt, and Boys and Girls Club of the Redwoods, celebrate over 140 combined years of service to the youth in Humboldt County. Big Brothers Big Sisters of the North Coast recognizes that the future of Humboldt County rests on the success of its youth; and
WHEREAS, a mentor is a caring, consistent presence who devotes time to help a young person develop personal strength and achieve their potential through a structured and trusting relationship. Quality mentoring encourages positive choices, promotes self-esteem, supports academic achievement and introduces young people to new ideas; and WHEREAS, research shows that young people matched with a caring adult through a quality mentoring program are 20 percent more likely to be enrolled in college, 92 percent more likely to report participating regularly in extracurricular activities and sports, 78 percent more likely to volunteer and twice as likely to say they held a leadership position than those who did not have a mentor; and
WHEREAS, youth development experts agree that mentoring is critical to the social, emotional and cognitive development of youth, helping them navigate the path to adulthood more successfully; and WHEREAS, our community has a number of community volunteers, teachers, coaches, and many others who support the mentoring movement and work selflessly to improve our children’s odds for success.

WHEREAS, the future of Arcata rests on the success of its children and youth.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that the City Council of the City of Arcata hereby recognizes January 2026 as NATIONAL MENTORING MONTH and thanks all our local heroes who participate in quality mentoring programs to equip our youth with the tools to lead healthy and productive lives. The City Council also calls on residents to help close the gap between the availability of mentors and the number of children facing challenging circumstances who would love to spend time with a Big Brother, Big Sister, CASA Advocate, or Boys and Girls Club of the Redwoods Mentor.

It takes Little to be BIG for National Mentoring Month.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: David Loya, Director of Community Development
PREPARER: Sara Cunha, Community Development Specialist II DATE: January 21, 2026
TITLE: Adopt Resolution No. 256-27 Adopting the Local Impact Program Guidelines – California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Exempt per the Commonsense Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)).

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 256-27 adopting the Local Impact Program Guidelines – CEQA Exempt per the Commonsense Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15061(b)(3)).

INTRODUCTION:

The City of Arcata has developed the Local Impact Program to provide flexible low-interest loans to eligible for-profit businesses. The program is designed to use public taxpayer dollars to stimulate economic growth and revitalization by providing gap financing to businesses that may not qualify for other funding sources, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Business Loan program. Adoption of Resolution No. 256-27 (“Attachment A”) will approve the Local Impact Program Guidelines (“Exhibit 1”) allowing staff to begin outreach to eligible businesses that meet one or more of the local benefit requirements.

BACKGROUND:

For more than 20 years, the City has administered the CDBG Business Loan and Microenterprise Loan program, providing grants and loans to support local businesses. However, federal eligibility requirements limit participation for many businesses, leaving gaps in assistance for a significant portion of Arcata’s business community.

The Local Impact Program was designed to address these gaps by providing low-interest loans for eligible projects that achieve one or more of the following local benefits:
 Elimination of blight
 Beautification
 Increase in sales tax generation
 Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) generation
 Business retention

Page 39 of 176 ends

DISCUSSION:

Adopting the Local Impact Program Guidelines will enable the City to expand outreach and support a broader segment of local businesses, particularly those seeking assistance for business retention, expansion, and reinvestment that may not be eligible under other programs.

The City will serve as the Program Operator, overseeing application review, loan approval, and fund disbursement. Loan funds will be disbursed directly to eligible for-profit businesses for approved project costs that meet the program’s local benefit requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

There are no specific sites proposed for the Local Impact Program. Generally, rehabilitation of existing structures would qualify as CEQA exempt as ministerial projects, or Existing Facilities (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15301), and/or Minor Modifications to Land (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15304). Any project that would not qualify for an exemption is speculative at this time and would require independent environmental review. As proposed, it can be seen with certainty that the program does not have the ability to affect the environment. As such, this action is subject to the commonsense exemption (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15061(b)(3)).

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The Local Impact Program will be funded through a locally controlled Basic Loan Fund (250), and/or other City-allocated funds. The program will allow the City to provide a broader business loan program, which through repayment generates a revolving fund for other new loans.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to adopt Resolution No. 256-27 adopting the Local Impact Program Guidelines – CEQA Exempt per the Commonsense Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15061(b)(3)). Consent Calendar vote.

3.5 MEETING STATE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
The Lender and Administrator will require loan applicants to provide project information which allows them to make a determination of required project compliance. Applicants are required to sign loan disclosures and work with Lender to ensure each project is in compliance with any of the triggered, applicable regulations listed below.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): There are no specific sites proposed for the Local Impact Program. Generally, rehabilitation of existing structures would qualify as CEQA exempt as ministerial projects, or Existing Facilities (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15301), and/or Minor Modifications to Land (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15304).

Any project that would not qualify for an exemption is speculative at this time and would require independent environmental review. As proposed, it can be seen with certainty that the program does not have the ability to affect the environment. As such, this action is subject to the commonsense exemption (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15061(b)(3)).

The loan funding does not trigger NEPA.

California State Prevailing Wage Compliance: If a project proposes to use City funds to pay costs for any construction, then State labor standards compliance must be documented. and related laws are “triggered” when any funding is used to pay for any project construction costs. Lender will follow State prevailing wage compliance on funded projects.

Additional labor costs will be added to projects proposing to use City funding to pay for new construction, rehabilitation, or equipment installation. The Administrator and Lender will work with loan applicants to ensure project compliance. The additional time and work

Page 50 of 176 ends

Page 6 ends

required by prevailing wage regulations will be disclosed to the borrower as soon as possible. Any additional costs resulting from this regulation will be incorporated into the LIP loan approval.

City Relocation Plan: All applicants proposing to use City funds for purchase of real property must comply with the City’s Relocation Plan. The Lender will provide the required Seller Disclosure for execution as part of meeting this requirement.

All applicants proposing projects which trigger relocation compliance i.e. result in displacement of persons per Uniform Relocation Act (URA), must work with the Lender to ensure compliance with this law. Additional costs associated with relocation compliance will be disclosed to the applicant prior to loan approval and included in project loan approval.

Conflict of Interest Certification: Loan applicants will sign a Certification of No Conflict of Interest. In accordance with state and federal regulations, no member of the governing body and no official, employee or agent of the local government, nor any other person who exercises policy or decision-making responsibilities (including members of the loan committee and officers, employees, and agents of the loan committee, the administrative agent, contractors and similar agencies) in connection with the planning and implementation of the program shall directly or indirectly be eligible for this program.

Lender will require all applicants to sign a non-conflict of interest certification, Attachment C. Any questions regarding possible state conflict of interest laws will be referred to Lender’s legal council for final determination.

Required SAMs Unique Entity Identification (UEI) number, federal debarred verification and demographic data: All program applicants must obtain a UEI number, if they do not already have one. The UEI number is free and can be obtained online. In addition, prior to loan approval, the Lender will document that the business being assisted, and all owners and affiliated businesses, are verified as NOT on the federal debarred contractors list.

4. LOAN PROCESSING AND APPROVAL

4.1. FAIR LENDING COMPLIANCE
The Program will be implemented in ways consistent with the Lender’s commitment to fair lending laws. No person or business shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefit of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity funded in whole or in part with Program funds on the basis of his or her religion or religious affiliation, age, race, color, ancestry, national origin, gender, marital status, familial status (which specifically refers to the number or ages of children in the household), physical, intellectual or emotional disability, sexual orientation, or other basis. All personal information of loan applicants will be kept confidential, per Section 4.4.

4.2. LOAN APPLICATION PROCESSING
Loan applications will be processed on a first come first served basis. Immediately upon receipt of the application, the administrator will create a file that will contain the application and all subsequent documentation collected. The Administrator will begin by reviewing the application and documents for initial eligibility per Section 6.1. Applicants that do not meet basic requirements of the program will be sent a letter of explanation.

Page 51 of 176 ends

Page 7 ends

All applications received, regardless of the outcome, will be kept on file to document fair lending standards. Applications that meet basic eligibility requirements will continue to underwriting.

The business will be required to provide accurate financials for past, current and future projection of the business operations. All owners will have credit checks conducted as part of loan underwriting per Section 6.0. The Administrator may provide sample financial Excel forms (balance / cash flow sheets, profit and loss, personal financial statements, and proforma) but in no instance will the Administrator’s or Lender’s staff generate financial numbers for an applicant. The applicant will be offered referrals to local business support organizations to assist applicants in producing proper financial statements, develop a business plan, conduct a market study or develop industry accounting practices.

Loan Flow:

1. It is recommended that an applicant speak with City staff regarding financing requirements before submitting an application.

2. Application is submitted and reviewed for completeness.

3. Application is reviewed to ensure it meets underwriting standards and any additional City requirements.

4. A complete loan file is assembled.

5. Staff presents approval memo to Loan Advisory Committee for approval, approval with additional conditions, or denial.

6. If approved, the applicant is advised of the approval and any additional conditions, and staff begins the process of loan documentation, and making arrangements for signing.

7. If declined, the applicant is advised of the process for appeal.

8. Upon loan closing and perfection of any liens, information is provided to the loan servicer.

Loan applicants are responsible for providing accurate and timely information to the Administrator as part of the loan process. This may include:
• Disclosure of all business owners with twenty percent or more ownership • Disclosure of all other businesses the owners have an ownership interest of twenty percent (20%) or more
• Current personal financial statements for each owner
• Sources of collateral and security

Page 52 of 176 ends

Page 8 ends

Administrator in a timely fashion, then there will be delays in the loan approval process.

Once the Administrator has compiled a complete loan file with all the credit, financial, and underwriting information needed to show loan is eligible under these guidelines, then a loan approval memo will be drafted. The memo will be submitted to Lender for their approval. Once approved, the Administrator and Lender and craft loan documents for signing at closing with the Borrower.

4.3. PROGRAM LOAN APPROVAL PROCESS
The Lender’s Loan Advisory Committee (LAC) shall be made up of an odd number of persons, and consists of the Community Development Director, Finance Director, and City Manager or their designee.

The LAC authority includes, but is not limited to, loan approval, modification of existing loans, recommending special circumstances or exceptions requests to the City Manager, making recommendations to the City Council, and declining loan applications.

See Attachment A for Lender loan approval memo format.

Loan Advisory Committee meetings will be scheduled by Lender staff in conjunction with Administrator staff once a loan has been underwritten and is ready for review and approval. Lender staff will be responsible for reviewing each loan application funding proposal and recommending approval or rejection for the loan. Committee members may request additional information and or attach contingencies on closing or funding of the loan. If the loan is approved, then the project can move forward with loan closing.

If Lender approval is not obtained, then the BA loan applicant can take dispute resolution actions, per Section 4.5 of these guidelines.

4.4. LOAN APPLICANT CONFIDENTIALITY
Administrator or Lender or any persons involved in the loan process for this Program will not disclose any of applicant’s business or personal confidential information as part of loan review and approval process. All confidential information of businesses will only be disclosed to persons required to view the information as part of loan review and approval. All personal and business confidential information of loan applicants will be kept in a locked secured storage facility and are not available to persons outside of the program. If the Lender or Administrator or Department receives a formal public records request for a loan applicant file, then only non-confidential information, as verified by legal counsel, will be provided.

4.5. APPLICANT DISPUTE RESOLUTION / APPEALS PROCEDURE
If an application for assistance through this program is denied, and the applicant is dissatisfied with the decision, an appeal may be made. The appeal must be made in writing to the Administrator and/or the Lender, and the appeal will be presented to the City Manager for a decision. An appeal shall be made in writing, state specific and pertinent facts, and provide the basis for appeal. The appeal must be made within 10 business days of the date of the actual date of denial. The appeal must be limited to information that was not known at the time the decision that is being appealed was

Page 53 of 176 ends

Page 9 ends

made.

When an appeal is filed, the Lender shall prepare a report for the City Manager. The appellant may be required to attend. The appellant is encouraged to present documentation supporting their position. At the appeal meeting, the City Manager may consider any issue involving the matter that is the subject of the appeal, in addition to the specific grounds for appeal.

The City Manager may:
• Affirm, affirm in part, or reverse the decision which is the subject of the appeal, based on findings of fact about the appeal.
• Adopt additional conditions of approval that may address issues or concerns other than the subject of the appeal.

The Administrator or Lender will provide written notification to the appellant of approval or denial of the appeal, with explanation.

4.6. EXCEPTIONS / SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Exceptions are defined as any action which would depart from policy and procedures stated in the guidelines. The Lender or Administrator’s staff may initiate consideration of an exception or special circumstance to the policies in these guidelines as long as it does not violate state or City requirements. A written analysis of the exception will be prepared and submitted with loan approval request. This analysis shall contain a narrative, including the staff's recommended course of action and any written or verbal information supplied by the applicant. The loan approval shall be made after review and acceptance of the exception or special circumstances request.

4.7. LOAN CLOSING PROCESS
After Lender approval and submittal of a Loan Certification and Project Intake Form the Administrator and Lender will prepare for the loan closing. Loans may be closed through an Escrow Agent or the Administrator, as determined on a case-by-case basis. The Administrator will prepare the loan closing documents; prepare title and lien searches, and UCC-1 filings, if appropriate. Lender legal counsel will review all agreements and documents, as necessary. An Escrow Agent may be used to close loans and secure liens. Upon closing, funds will be disbursed according to the Loan Agreement.

The Borrower will sign all the necessary documents and agreements. After Borrower has submitted documentation of eligible expenditures, the lender will submit reimbursement of eligible costs.

5. DESCRIPTION OF LOANS

5.1. DETERMINATION OF LOAN AMOUNT
The Program has a minimum loan amount of $20,000. There is no maximum loan amount.

Typical loans are anticipated to be less than $200,000 per applicant. Loans greater than $200,000 shall also be approved by the City Manager. Loans in excess of $300,000 must be approved by the City Council

Page 54 of 176 ends

Page 10 ends

A borrower will be eligible for a second loan for the same business if the borrower’s current loan accounts are in good standing.

Actual loan amounts will be based on the business’ need for capital to conduct the proposed project’s scope of work. If there are not sufficient funding for the project, then the Administrator can assist in finding other business resources.

5.2. DETERMINATION OF LOAN TERM
The loan term is determined by the loan amount, debt coverage ratio, and anticipated profitability. The Lender will balance the payoff term with the business’ ability to make payments based on the pro forma developed during underwriting. The Lender may offer flexible terms with interest only periods not to exceed one year and/or longer-term loans to ensure the loan funds have maximal impact on business success. The Lender may also approve deferrals of up to 12 months if project proforma demonstrate need. Interest will accrue during deferrals.

Generally, loans under $50,000 will have a term of five to seven years, and loans over $50,000 will have a 10-year term. If the loan is for real property improvements and can be secured on real property, then the terms can be extended out to 20 or 30 years. A loan amortization term can be longer than the loan term, so an equipment loan may have a term of ten years but an amortization term of fifteen years, which will create a lump sum payment at year ten. Administrator will confirm that the term is correct, based on the use of the funds and loan security / collateral being provided.

5.3. DETERMINATION OF LOAN INTEREST RATE
Loan interest rates will start at three percent (3.00%). This rate will be increased if the investment of funds at the three percent level causes the business to have an excessive profit or return on investment (ROI). By allowing the interest rate to move and not be fixed, the Lender can best tailor the loans under this program to meet the cash flow needs of different businesses in the community.

Other factors that may affect the interest rate include the amount of equity brought to the loan request; capacity of the business to service the proposed debt; the rate of return (ROI) the applicant would receive with a lower rate; credit risk factors; and management experience.

5.4. LOAN PROCESSING FEES
Loan application, origination, and set-up, escrow fees, and other costs associated with underwriting, including appraisal or other valuation cost and environmental review shall be paid by the applicant at time of application. These fees are non-refundable and are based on direct cost of providing the underwriting and loan review service. Fees for direct service are non-refundable.

Project costs that may be included in the loan amount include labor standards compliance cost, and relocation costs.

6. LOAN UNDERWRITING STANDARDS

6.1. INITIAL LOAN EVALUATION
Program funds are designed to support people, communities, and businesses who have been historically underserved by, and continue to face barriers to, traditional financing.

The lender can use the questions below to identify the people and businesses who would benefit the most from support, and as a way to mitigate the harm done by a financial system that fails to include them.

The City will strive to use care in working with small business applicants. The City recognizes that some applicants, particularly persons of color and others who have experienced systemic barriers, may encounter stress or challenges when navigating local or state funding processes. Lender and Administrator seek to support and advance all persons applying for business assistance loans regardless of their prior background and experiences to develop business acumen and be successful in working through the program processes.

Each project/business will be evaluated based on past performance, future financial forecasts, and the extent to which supporting the business supports the mission of the program. The following questions should be asked upon receipt of a loan application.

While answers will vary by applicant, these questions are designed to identify eligibility but also highlight areas of assistance to support applicants in successfully completing the terms of the loan.
• Is business an eligible applicant, per Section 3.1?
• Are the proposed project costs eligible, per Section 3.2 & 3.4? ?
• Are state and, or federal overlays triggered that will adversely impact project development?
• Does the business and owner pay bills on time, collect on time? • Does owner have a detailed “business plan”?
• Does owner have documented market demand for projected sales? • Does owner have management capacity to operate the business? • Does owner have financial accounting capacity to operate the business? • Is the owner contributing a reasonable amount of equity? • Is the owner able to get conventional bank financing, if not, why not? • Was the business financially viable in the past (net income covers debt)? • Are there reasonable financial assumptions for future viability/success? • Is there enough collateral available to secure the proposed loan? • Is the owner’s personal financial status stable?
By collecting enough initial application information to answer the above list of questions, the Administrator will have a good sense of how strong a borrower is, and how successful they will be, if assisted with a City loan. Most of this information is collected on the loan application form and verified verbally at the initial site visit with the owner.

By meeting the borrower and asking these questions the Administrator will know what additional information/documentation needs to be collected to provide a clear picture of how funds can be used to assist the loan applicant. These questions demonstrate the need for funds and business eligibility.

After the initial review, the Administrator / application processor will collect the information required for loan underwriting. The required documentation is listed in these guidelines at this same time, Administrator and Lender will begin regulatory compliance documentation,.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Keira A. Vink, Human Resources and Administrative Services Director PREPARER: Keira A. Vink, Human Resources and Administrative Services Director DATE: January 21, 2026
TITLE: Adopt Resolution Nos. 256-29 and 256-30 to Amend Management and Confidential, and Arcata Police Association Class and Pay; and Adopt Resolution No. 256-31 to Amend Management and Confidential Supplemental Compensation and Benefits.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No 256-29, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending the Management, Mid-management, Confidential and Appointed Employees Class and Pay; and

2. Adopt Resolution No. 256-30, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending the Class and Pay for the Arcata Police Association [to Reflect Revisions and Additions].

3. Adopt Resolution No. 256-31, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending the Supplemental Compensation and Benefits Resolution – Management, Mid-management, Confidential, and Appointed Employees [to Reflect Revisions and Additions].

INTRODUCTION:

The City’s Management and Confidential employee classifications consist of both sworn and general employees that are unrepresented, which means they do not engage in collective bargaining with the City on matters related to wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. As such, the City Council provides directions to address wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment that pertain to the City’s unrepresented classifications.

The City’s Arcata Police Department nonexempt employees are represented by the Arcata Police Association who engages in collective bargaining with the City on matters related to wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment.

BACKGROUND:

While the City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations (PR&Rs) 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&Rs require amendments or revisions to the Compensation Plan to be adopted by resolution of

Page 61 of 176 ends

the City Council. In addition, the Supplemental Compensation and Benefits Resolution is how Council authorizes changes to the supplemental compensation and benefits for these unrepresented classifications.

DISCUSSION:

The Juvenile Diversion Counselor classification when created was placed in the Management, Midmanagement, Confidential, and Appointed Employees Classification and Pay Resolution and the Supplemental Compensation and Benefits Resolution for unrepresented employees. Based upon changes to the definition by the Fair Labor and Standards Act (FLSA) for exempt employees and the clarifying of duties and responsibilities of the classification, this placement is no longer correct. As such, the City is recommending moving the classification to the Arcata Police Association Class and Pay Resolution. The Juvenile Diversion Counselor will go from an unrepresented management employee to an Arcata Police Association represented employee effective upon approval by the City Council of the City of Arcata.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no identified fiscal impact due to the transferring of the Juvenile Diversion Counselor from the Management, Mid-management, Confidential and Appointed Employees Classification and Pay Resolution and the Supplemental Compensation and Benefits Resolution – Management, Midmanagement, Confidential, and Appointed Employees to the Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata to the Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata Class and Pay for the Arcata Police Association. The Arcata Police Department will continue to operate under the Approved 2025/2026 Budget.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 256-29, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending the Management, Mid-management, Confidential and Appointed Employees Classification and Pay; and

2. Adopt Resolution No. 256-31, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending the Supplemental Compensation and Benefits Resolution – Management, Midmanagement, Confidential, and Appointed Employees [to Reflect Revisions and Additions].

(revised 7/2013) Note: For REMIF plans, per its eligibility guidelines, an employee, who has at least ten (10) years of continuous employment with a member entity before retirement and retires under CalPERS, may choose to continue medical, dental, and/or vision coverage. This will be at the retiree’s own cost if he/she does not also meet the criteria above to be eligible for a City contribution towards the premium(s). For example, if the employee had 5 years service at another REMIF member entity and 6 years with the City of Arcata, the employee would not qualify for a percentage of the retiree premium to be paid by the City as outlined above, but would be able to continue coverage as a retiree (vs. COBRA) at the retiree’s own cost. See Appendix A for additional information on City and REMIF plan eligibility guidelines.

C. COBRA Premium Payments for Survivors: For the survivors of an employee who dies while employed by the City of Arcata, who elect to continue medical and dental benefits through COBRA coverage, the City will contribute two percent (2%) of the COBRA premium cost for each year of service achieved by the deceased employee rounded to the nearest whole year. Such contributions will not continue past the COBRA eligibility period.

D. Life insurance is provided for full-time City employees under the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund with the City contributing the amount of premium paid under REMIF’s plan of $50,000 term life insurance per employee.

E. The City will provide short-term disability insurance coverage, as described in the City of Arcata Personnel Rules and Regulations.

F. Supplemental insurance policies are available for employee purchase through AFLAC.

Open enrollment for AFLAC is May to June of each year, with a July 1 effective date.

Section 11. Education and Training Reimbursement

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager
PREPARER: Beth Redfern, Executive Assistant/Deputy City Clerk DATE: January 21, 2026
TITLE: Approve a Letter of Opposition to be Sent to the Humboldt County Planning & Building Department for the Proposed Conditional Use Permit to Build a New Telecommunications Tower Near 422 Shirley Boulevard; and Authorize the Mayor to Sign the Letter.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council approve sending a letter of opposition to the Humboldt County Planning & Building Department for a conditional use permit to build a new telecommunications tower near 422 Shirley Boulevard. This item would authorize the Mayor to sign a letter indicating the City’s opposition to a telecommunications tower near 422 Shirley Boulevard.

INTRODUCTION:

On October 10, 2025, the Humboldt County Planning & Building Department received an application for a Conditional Use Permit to build a new telecommunications tower near 422 Shirley Boulevard. The proposed tower would be about 180 feet tall and could support up to three wireless carriers.

The City of Arcata submitted comments on the proposed cell tower project located at 422 Shirley Boulevard on November 3, 2025. Although the site is located on an unincorporated County parcel, it lies within the City’s Planning Area and is accessed from Shirley Boulevard, which is under City jurisdiction. The City expressed concerns regarding the project’s proximity to residences and its potential impacts on public safety, environmental resources, and surrounding neighborhoods.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The City stated that the proposed project should be evaluated for consistency with Chapter 9.44 of the Arcata Land Use Code and requested that conditions be applied to implement applicable standards, including setback requirements, co-location, and discontinuance provisions, to the greatest extent possible. The City also requests that any approval requires the project proponent to obtain all necessary City permits, including encroachment, building, and potentially planning permits, to ensure appropriate site access and compliance with City standards.

Re: Proposed Telecommunication Tower – Shirley Blvd., PLN-2025-19343 Dear Humboldt County Planning Department,
The City of Arcata respectfully submits this letter in opposition to the proposed cell tower project located near 422 Shirley Boulevard. While the project site lies within an unincorporated County parcel, it is situated within the City of Arcata’s Planning Area and is accessed via Shirley Boulevard, a roadway under City jurisdiction. As such, the City has a direct and substantial interest in the review and approval of this project. While this project is under the purview of the County, the City holds concerns regarding its proximity to Arcata residences and the potential impacts on public safety, environmental resources, and nearby neighborhoods.

The City’s Land Use Code, specifically Chapter 9.44 (Telecommunications Facilities), establishes standards intended to ensure that telecommunications facilities are necessary, appropriately sited, and operated in a manner consistent with community character and public welfare. Telecommunications facilities within the City require a use permit to evaluate need, placement, and operational impacts. The City requests that the reviewing authority fully consider and apply the standards set forth in Chapter 9.44 when evaluating this proposal.

The City strongly urges the inclusion of conditions that effectuate Land Use Code Sections

9.44.050 through 9.44.080, inclusive. Of particular concern is Section 9.44.060.A.3, which establishes a minimum setback of 1,000 feet from residences and 1,500 feet from schools, hospitals, and historic resources. Although the City acknowledges that federal law and regulation may preempt certain local standards, the City requests that these setback requirements be considered and that the siting of the proposed facility conform to these standards to the greatest extent possible.

Page 92 of 176 ends

In addition, the City opposes approval of the project absent conditions requiring co-location, as outlined in Section 9.44.060.B, and discontinuance and removal of facilities pursuant to Section

9.44.080. These requirements are critical to ensure efficient use of telecommunications infrastructure and to prevent the long-term presence of obsolete or abandoned facilities.

Finally, the City requests that any approval be conditioned upon the project proponent obtaining all required permits from the City of Arcata. Based on the information provided, the project may require a new encroachment permit and a driveway with non-standard design elements.

Accordingly, encroachment, building, and potentially planning permits will be necessary to adequately evaluate site access and egress and to ensure compliance with City standards.

For these reasons, the City of Arcata respectfully opposes the proposed cell tower project as currently proposed and requests that the above concerns be addressed in full prior to any consideration of approval.

Sincerely,
Kimberley White
Mayor
City of Arcata

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services PREPARER: Morguine Sefcik, Environmental Programs Manager DATE: January 21, 2026
TITLE: Adopt Resolution No. 256-28 Approving Execution of Grant Funds from the Ocean Protection Council to Develop an Arcata Sea Level Rise Adaptation Pathways Plan. Not a Project per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Adopt Resolution No. 256-28 approving execution of grant funds from the Ocean Protection Council to develop an Arcata sea level rise adaptation pathways plan.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND:

Senate Bill was signed into state law in 2021 and directs the state to provide funding to local and regional governments to develop sea level rise (SLR) adaptation plans and implementation projects.

The Ocean Protection Council (OPC) is supporting the implementation of SB 1, and as of June 2025 $14.14 million is available to fund SB 1 projects. The goal of the SB 1 SLR Adaptation Planning Grant Program is to provide funding for coastal communities to develop consistent SLR adaptation plans and projects to build resilience to SLR along the entire coast of California. The SB 1 Grant Program Track 1, for planning and data collection projects, considers grant applications on a rolling, quarterly basis. The City Council approved a grant application to this funding source (SB 1 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund) on September 3, 2025, and City staff were recently informed OPC has selected the City’s proposal for funding.

DISCUSSION:

City staff were approached this past summer by a technical assistance provider supporting OPC in encouraging grant applications from local communities. The City has recently completed an updated SLR vulnerability and risk assessment and concept strategy for adaptation of City capital infrastructure and is now well positioned to focus efforts on developing an in-depth adaptation pathways plan. Environmental Services and Community Development staff collaborated on a grant proposal to the OPC SB 1 Grant Program submitted in September 2025.

Local and global climate models have indicated that the shoreline and lower elevation neighborhoods of Arcata are susceptible to increased inundation and flooding from sea level rise and storm events. For the Humboldt Bay region, one of the most significant factors is vertical land motion, and the rate of vertical motion is not uniform around the bay and varies by location. Arcata is located on the northern shore of Humboldt Bay, which is currently experiencing one of the highest

Page 94 of 176 ends

rates of subsidence in California - upwards of 0.3 inches per year, exacerbating the rate of sea level rise along the Arcata shoreline (Patton, et al., 2023).

Staff propose to utilize a pathways approach to implement a Sea Level Rise Adaptation Pathways Plan in line with the City’s draft Local Coastal Element and informed by the recently completed Arcata Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Risk Assessment. While this recent assessment also helped to create a high-level concept strategy for adaptation of City capital infrastructure, the City needs support to collect additional targeted data and advance clear, feasible implementation steps informed by community engagement and with identified triggers for potential adaptations at locations throughout the vulnerable Arcata shoreline. The Adaptation Pathways Plan would also help to advance concept adaptation designs for 1-2 priority locations. While the City of Arcata has greatly advanced coastal resiliency planning over the last decade, as a small, rural disadvantaged community Arcata has limited access to funding to implement adaptation projects at the needed scale.

Developing a neighborhood scale sea level rise adaptation plan would benefit multiple sectors of Arcata – low lying affordable neighborhoods, a growing business district, and City infrastructure – and advance opportunities to be competitive for implementation funding.

The project will include robust community engagement focused on determining community priorities for adaptation pathways. The proposal work plan includes targeted field investigations, development of adaptation pathways, identification of key trigger thresholds to initiate adaptation actions, a monitoring strategy to monitor for identified triggers, implementation steps to realize adaptation projects on the ground and a financing strategy for implementation.

The adoption of a specific resolution by the City Council is required by OPC in order to execute the grant agreement.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The City Council has a Priority Project in Fiscal Year 2025-26 focused on Climate Change and Climate Adaptation including to continue sea level rise adaptation planning and implementation strategies.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

This is a planning-level study only and exempt from CEQA, as it does not meet the definition of a project.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

During the mid-year budgeting process, City staff will incorporate grant revenue and anticipated expenses into the 2025-26 fiscal year budget. The awarded grant will cover all project costs including consultant costs, City staff time plus overhead costs.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to adopt Resolution No. 256-28 approving execution of grant funds from the Ocean Protection Council to develop an Arcata Sea Level Rise Adaptation Pathways Plan. Consent Calendar vote.

CLERK'S CERTIFICATE
I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of Resolution No. 256-28, passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Arcata, County of Humboldt, State of California, held on the 7th day of January, 2026, by the following vote:

Page 98 of 176 ends

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council adopt Resolution No. 256-33, updating the City of Arcata Investment Policy for the investment of public funds of the City of Arcata and its related entities.

INTRODUCTION:

A City’s Investment Policy serves as a framework outlining guidelines for the investment of City and other related entities’ funds, consistent with the regulatory requirements of the California (CA) Government Code. Best practice is to review the investment policy annually and to confirm that it is compliant and consistent with CA Government Code.

BACKGROUND:

CA Government Code Section 53646 encourages but does not require local government entities to create an investment policy and to review it annually. The investment policy is used to provide for investing and treasury management practices of an organization. Developing and using an investment policy is considered a “best practice” by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).

Government Code Sections 53600 through 53659 establish the types of investments that an agency may purchase, the maximum percentage of the portfolio that may be invested in any one investment type, as well as the oversight required of the investment portfolio. An investment policy may impose more restrictions than required by the CA Government Code but not less.

On September 18, 2024, the City Council updated the Investment Policy to ensure it was compliant with California Government Code.

DISCUSSION:

The City’s investment advisor, Chandler Asset Management, has also reviewed the City’s Investment Policy, as presented here, to confirm its compliance with CA Government Code.

Page 99 of 176 ends

The main recommended changes in the Updated Investment Policy version include:

1. Revisions so that the City’s Investment Policy is consistent with recent changes in CA Government Code.

2. Reflects updated best practices, including issuing a monthly investment report for City Council review.

3. Cleans up entries in the Glossary of Terms, including deleting obsolete definitions and references.

4. Adds investments in Joint Powers Authority (JPA), which are organized pursuant to CA Government Code and other Local Government Investment Pools.

In addition to the Investment Policy, the City has used a Management Directive to limit investment in certain kinds of industries in response to direction from Council. Currently, the City’s Management Directive with Chandler Asset Management requests integration of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) preferences, which excludes investments in companies whose primary activity involves the extraction and production of fossil fuels.

The City has already excluded investments in corporations that receive revenue from tobacco or tobacco products, nuclear weapons or nuclear weapons components, production of nuclear energy, and in corporations with a record of gross ecological and environmental degradation, violation of the rights of workers and violation of human rights.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

Updating a city’s investment policy is an administrative and fiscal action that does not authorize or result in any physical change to the environment. As a result, it is not a “project” under CEQA (Pub.

Res. Code § 21065) and is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the commonsense exemption (CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3)).

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of this Investment Policy does not, by itself, have a financial impact. However, the investment options detailed in the policy may have an impact on the amount of investment earnings that the City earns on its cash balances. Actual earnings depend on interest rates at the time of investment and the total cash available for investment.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to adopt Resolution No. 256-33, updating the City of Arcata Investment Policy for the investment of public funds of the City of Arcata and its related entities. Consent Calendar vote.

3 INVESTMENT POLICY
The City of Arcata
The Arcata Community Development Agency
Originally Adopted April 15, 1998, Revised 09/18/2024
I. INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
A. Policy

1. This Investment Policy is set forth by the City of Arcata (the City) and the Arcata Community Development Agency (ACDA), collectively referred to as the City, for the following purposes:
a) To establish a clear understanding for the City Council, City management, responsible employees, citizens and third parties of the objectives, policies and guidelines for the investment of City and ACDA idle and surplus funds; b) To offer guidance to investment staff and any external investment advisors on the investment of City and ACDA funds; and
c) To establish a basis for evaluating investment results

2. The City establishes investment policies which meet its current investment goals.

The City shall review this policy annually, and may change its policies as its investment objectives change.

3. This policy is written to incorporate industry best practices and recommendations from sources such as the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and the Association of Public Treasurers (APT).

B. Investment Objectives

1. The objectives of this investment policy are, in order of priority:
a) To ensure safety of invested funds;
b) To maintain sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow needs; c) To attain a "market average rate of return" consistent with the primary objectives of safety and liquidity. The expected rate of return on the City's portfolio is more specifically defined in Section IV; and d) To assure ongoing compliance with all Federal, State and local laws governing the investment of moneys under the control of the City Treasurer.

Page 103 of 176 ends

4 e) To invest public funds in a manner that contributes to the well-being and enrichment of the community.

C. Prudence

1. The Prudent Person Standard shall be used by investment officials, and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment staff acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported within 30 days and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

2. Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the Agency are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard: “…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, and managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, a trustee is authorized to acquire investments as authorized by law.”
D. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest

1. All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust. Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

2. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the Finance Director any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.

5 II. OPERATIONAL AND PROCEDURAL MATTERS
A. Scope

1. The City's investment policy applies to all financial assets and investment activities of the City and ACDA with the following exceptions:
a) The City's Deferred Compensation Plan is excluded because it is managed by a third party administrator and invested by individual plan participants; and b) Proceeds of debt issuance shall be invested in accordance with the general investment philosophy of the City as set forth in this policy; however, such proceeds are invested in accordance with permitted investment provisions of their specific bond indentures.

2. Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

B. Delegation of Authority

1. Authority to manage the City's investment program is derived from the California Government Code Sections 41006 and 53600 et seq., and Section 1100 of the Arcata Municipal Code.

2. The City may engage the services of one or more external investment managers to assist in the management of the City's investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City's objectives. Such external managers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this Investment Policy.

Such managers must be registered under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.

3. The City's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City.

C. Authorized Financial Institutions, Depositories, and Broker/Dealers

1. To the extent practicable, the Treasurer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City’s Treasurer will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City’s policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.

Page 105 of 176 ends

6 2. The Treasurer shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).

3. In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City and ACDA include:
a) Institutions licensed by the state and proof of FINRA certification as a brokerdealer, as defined in Section 25004 of Corporations Code. b) Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange. c) Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and non-primary government dealers;
d) Nationally or state-chartered banks;
e) Savings association or federal association (as defined in Section 5102 of the Financial Code);
f) The Federal Reserve Bank; and
g) Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase by the City;

4. Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions with the City shall be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.

5. All financial institutions which desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions (and which are not dealing only with the investment adviser) must supply the City Treasurer with a statement certifying that the institution has reviewed the California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. and the City's Investment Policy and that all securities offered to the City shall comply fully and in every instance with all provisions of the Code and with this Investment Policy.

6. Public deposits shall be made only in qualified public depositories within the State of California as established by state law. Deposits shall be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, shall be collateralized with securities in accordance with State law.

Page 106 of 176 ends

7 7. Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.

D. Delivery vs. Payment
All investment transactions of the City shall be conducted using standard delivery vs payment procedures where the security must be delivered before funds are released.

E. Safekeeping of Securities
To protect against potential loss by collapse of individual securities dealers, and to enhance access to securities, interest payments and maturity proceeds, all securities owned by the City shall be held in safekeeping by a third party bank trust department, acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and by the City. All investment transactions will require a safekeeping receipt or acknowledgment generated from the trade. A monthly report will be received by the City from the custodian listing all securities held in safekeeping with current market data and other information. The only exceptions to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases made with: (i) local government investment pools; (ii) time certificates of deposit, and, (iii) mutual funds and money market mutual funds, since these securities are not deliverable.

III. PERMITTED INVESTMENTS AND PORTFOLIO RISK MANAGEMENT A. Authorized Investments: All investments shall be made in accordance with Sections 53600 et seq. of the Government Code of California and as described within this Investment Policy. In the event a discrepancy is found between this policy and the Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence. Percentage holding limits listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased.

Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity and shall be exempt from the current policy. At the time of the investment’s maturity or liquidation, such funds shall be reinvested only as provided in the current policy.

An appropriate risk level shall be maintained by primarily purchasing securities that are of high quality, liquid, and marketable. The portfolio shall be diversified by security type and institution to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks

F. Mitigating Credit Risk in the Portfolio
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all of its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City shall mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:

1. The diversification requirements included in Section III (A) are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio;

2. No more than 5 % of the total portfolio may be invested in securities of any single issuer unless otherwise specific in this policy;

3. The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to improve the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or the City's risk preferences; and

G. Mitigating Market Risk in the Portfolio
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio will decline in value (or will not optimize its value) due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer portfolios achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City shall mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short term cash needs, and by making some longer term investments only with funds with are not needed for current cash flow purposes.

The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following
