Planning Commission Annual Report for 2025
January 27, 2026
This Planning Commission Annual Report to the City Council is intended to provide information regarding progress on various goals, how community needs are being met, how the Commission’s responsibilities are being fulfilled, the effectiveness of the policies and procedures, and any recommendations for change. The Council adopted the content of the report by resolution, which was most recently adopted in 2019. The Planning Commission approved this report on January 27, 2026.

Goals
The Commission assists in implementing City Council Goals. In addition, the Commission sets goals for itself. This section outlines the Commission’s and Council’s goals and accomplishments for 2025 and identifies goals for 2026.

Planning Commission Goals
1) Update the General Plan and Associated Ordinances.
2025 Accomplishments. The Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-25-01 recommending City Council adopt the Density Bonus and Inclusionary Zoning land use code text amendments ordinance.

The Commission also provided direction and adopted Resolution No. PC-25-06 recommending establishment of a Community Benefits Program to the City Council. 2026 Goal. The Commission anticipates working on the zoning amendments to the Land Use Code to ensure consistency between the General Plan and implementing zoning. In addition, the Commission looks forward to working on objective design standards for the Valley West neighborhood, as well as updates to the Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance. This planning work is funded by the HUD PRO Housing Grant.
2) Finalize the Local Coastal Program.
2025 Accomplishments. The Commission provided direction and made recommendations on the City’s Local Coastal Program. Staff has continued working with Coastal Commission staff to complete their review.
2026 Goal. Complete review of the comprehensive update of the Local Coastal Program, including the Gateway Area Plan certification in the coastal zone.
3) Streamline Permitting Appropriately.
2025 Accomplishments. The Commission has an ongoing goal to ensure the public’s resources are best used to achieve appropriate planning efficiently. The Planning Commission continues to work towards improving the process, making necessary code amendments, and reviewing policy to ensure it aligns with community goals and vision. While there were few discretionary projects to review in 2025, the projects that came before the Commission were completed in one hearing typically. 2026 Goal. With the adoption of the General Plan comprehensive update, the Commission looks forward to concentrating on the necessary amendments to the Land Use Code, the City’s zoning ordinance, to implement the new vision and goals. The Commission will review the effectiveness of

the ministerial hearings called for in the Gateway Code and make recommendations to Council in 2026.
4) Regional Planning.
2025 Accomplishments. The Commission had no activity in this area in 2025. The Commission was focused on internal work in 2025.
2026 Goal. The Commission looks forward to reviewing and recommending adoption of the Climate Action Plan in 2026. In addition, the Commission would like to pursue regional sea level rise work in 2026.
5) Targeted Redevelopment.
2025 Accomplishments. The Commission had no activity in this area in 2025 but anticipates review and recommendations on the Valley West Opportunity Zone objective design standards in 2026. 2026 Goal. The Commission will focus on the Valley West Infill Opportunity Zone in 2026. Adopting new standards in this zone will help spread the impact of development throughout the City. The Commission would like to see Form-Based Codes or codes based on objective design standards in the Infill Opportunity Zones, starting with the Valley West Opportunity Zone, and then the Downtown/Uniontown Opportunity Zone.
6) Historic Preservation.
2025 Accomplishments. The Commission did not have the opportunity in 2025 to work jointly with the Historic Landmarks Committee to identify effective historic preservation programs but looks forward to this as a future goal.
2026 Goal. The Commission would like to hold a joint study session with the Historic Landmarks Committee to learn more about historic preservation and how to best implement the updated General Plan Historic Preservation Element, including how to amend the zoning ordinance to more effectively implement historic preservation. In addition, the Commission is interested in pursuing adoption of the Plaza as a state historic place.
7) Training.
2025 Accomplishments. Training resources were limited in 2025 and did not fully support the range of training opportunities requested by the Commission.
2026 Goal. The Commission seeks more formal training to better understand its roles and responsibilities, as well as technical capacity, for the decisions it makes. Specifically, the Commission requests training on coastal planning, adaptation planning, and climate change. Training and subscription services, electronic or otherwise, need to be budgeted to accomplish this goal. The Planning Commission would like the Council to consider a regional collaboration for high-impact training for Planning Commissioners. The Commission would like to see a dedicated Commission training budget of at least $7,500.

City Council Goals
The City Council Goals and Priority Projects are adopted on a fiscal year, while the Commission reports on a calendar year. For that reason, this report references the Council’s 2024/25 and its 2025/26 Goals and Priority Projects.

2024/25 (Jan-Jun) 7.a Prioritize Future Planning. This goal identifies completion of the Local Coastal Program as a priority. The Commission reviewed and made recommendations on the Local Coastal Program during 2025 and anticipates completing its review and recommending approval in 2026. 2025/26 (Jul-Dec) 12. Incorporate smart growth technology, design, principles and practices in the advancement of a sustainable city. The Commission looks forward to reviewing projects under the Gateway Area Code in 2026.

Community Needs
While the Commission’s work was largely focused on long-range planning, the Commission did hold public hearings on discretionary permits. Three design review permits were before the Commission this year. That number is similar to prior years. The Commission provided open public hearings with opportunities for public comment at these hearings.

Commission’s Responsibilities
As outlined in the Arcata Municipal Code (Sec. 2208), the Planning Commission’s responsibilities include:

A. To serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council and City staff on all matters pertaining to planning and the physical development of the City and surrounding areas.

B. To provide recommendations to the City Council regarding the preparation, adoption, amendment, administration, and implementation of the General Plan and its various elements, the Local Coastal Plan, and Specific Plans.

C. To provide recommendations to the City Council regarding preparation, adoption, amendment and implementation of the City’s land use, zoning, subdivision, development review, design review, environmental review, and other related policies, ordinances, and standards.

D. To review and take action to approve, approve subject to conditions or modifications, or to deny various applications for development or use of land as provided in the City’s zoning ordinances codified at Title IX.

E. To review and make decisions or recommendations on Negative Declarations, Environmental Impact Reports, and other environmental documents prepared for private and public projects.

F. To review and make decisions regarding the consistency of proposed acquisition or disposition of real property by the City with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plans, as provided by state law.

G. To review and make decisions with respect to the consistency of proposed capital improvement projects and programs with the General Plan and any applicable Specific Plans, as provided by state law.

H. To exercise any other powers and duties as may be assigned by state law or by the zoning ordinances codified at Title IX.

I. To conduct all powers, duties and functions of the Historic and Design Review Commission as codified in the City’s Land Use Code, Title IX, including the implementation of the Historic Preservation Element of the General Plan.

The Commission has been dutifully exercising these responsibilities over 2025. The Commission made the consistency finding for the Capital Improvement Program updates, held four design review hearings, and has focused hundreds of hours collectively providing recommendations to the Council on the General Plan and

Gateway Area Plan. The Commission looks forward to finalizing recommendations on the Environmental Impact Report in the coming months to support the Council’s adoption of the updated General Plan and Gateway Code.

Effectiveness of Policies and Procedures
The Commission is subject to the Brown Act and conducts its hearings pursuant to City practice and protocol using parliamentary procedures for most of its work. These procedures are effective at managing public meetings to ensure fairness and transparency. But the Commission recognizes that they also place limits on public engagement and involvement to balance input with accomplishments.

Recommendations
The composition of the Commission was stable over 2025, but many members are relatively new having been appointed in 2024. This affords an opportunity for the members to become familiar with the new General Plan and Gateway Code, as well as to build its knowledge and understanding of its role and the legal and procedural tenants it must adhere to. To do this, the Commission would like more training budget and opportunities to learn to better serve the community. Specifically, the Commission could benefit from training in the Brown Act, CEQA, planning law, coastal policy, climate change and adaptation planning, and engagement training.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager
PREPARER: Rhea Varley, City Clerk
DATE: February 4, 2026
TITLE: Adopt Ordinance No. 1585, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending the Arcata Municipal Code Title II, Chapter 10, to Make Biennial Consumer Price Index Adjustments to Campaign Contribution Limitations.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council adopt Ordinance No. 1585, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Amending the Arcata Municipal Code Title II, Chapter 10, to Make Biennial Consumer Price Index Adjustments to Campaign Contribution Limitations.

INTRODUCTION:

In 1992, the Arcata voters adopted a ballot measure that established campaign contribution limitations (codified in the Arcata Municipal Code at §§ 3011–3018, Title II, Chapter 10). This ballot measure set local office candidate campaign contribution limitations and requirements for disclosure of independent expenditures at $100 per election cycle, to be adjusted every evennumbered year by the consumer price index (CPI). Ordinance No. 1585 makes this adjustment for 2026.

DISCUSSION:

Consumer Price Index adjustments to the contribution limitation and independent expenditure disclosure requirement made since adoption of the campaign finance ballot measure raised the $100 threshold to $240 in 2024. Ordinance No. 1585 was introduced on January 21, 2026, with a unanimous vote from the Council. The ordinance presented for adoption would raise the campaign contribution limits and disclosure thresholds for the 2026 election cycle to $250 based on a CPI adjustment calculation made by the Assistant City Manager/Finance Director. If adopted on February 4, 2026, the ordinance would take effect on March 6, 2026.

General Legal Issues. The law surrounding campaign finance, including campaign contribution limitations and independent expenditure disclosure, is complex and subject to change by federal and state court interpretation. State laws are found in the California Political Reform Act (PRA, Government Code §§ 84100-91014) and are regulated by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). The following legal analysis was completed by former City Attorney Nancy Diamond and sets out an analysis of the legal framework for campaign contribution limitations, independent

campaign expenditure disclosure requirements, and expenditure limitations on ballot measures, initiatives and referenda.

Campaign Contribution Limitations. Campaign contribution limitations infringe on First Amendment freedoms by restricting the contributor’s ability to engage in free communication and association. (Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010) 130 S.Ct. 876; Buckley v. Valeo (1976) 424 U.S. 1; SpeechNow.org v. Federal Election Commission (2010) 599 F.3d 686.) As a result, restrictions on contributions are permissible only if necessary to advance a legitimate state interest and are “closely drawn” to avoid unnecessary abridgment of associational (First Amendment) freedoms.

To date, courts have identified the elimination of corruption or its appearance as the only governmental interest that will support limitations on direct campaign contributions. (E.g., Federal Election Comm’n v. Nat’l Conservation Political Action Committee (1985) 470 U.S. 480, 496-497.) Importantly, the goal of equalizing political opportunities between candidates and parties has been expressly rejected as a legitimate justification for the adoption of campaign contribution limitations. (Buckley, 424 U.S. at 48).

Additionally, courts have determined that, as a matter of law, anti-corruption is not a legitimate interest in regard to independent groups, and no justification for limiting campaign contributions to independent organizations simply because it is a corporation therefore exists. (Citizens United, supra, SpeechNow, supra.) A number of statewide initiative measures establishing contribution limitations have been adopted over the last 30 years and have been largely declared as unconstitutional by reviewing courts. For example, limitations established by initiative measure adopted in 1994 imposing inter alia a $100 campaign contribution limitation on local elections in small jurisdictions were found largely unconstitutional in 1996. (California Profile Council PAC v. Scully (ED Cal 1998) 989 F. Supp. 1282, Aff’d (9th Cir. 1999) 164 F.3d. 1189.) However, that Court also indicated that local campaign contribution limitation ordinances could potentially pass constitutional muster if challenged through a case-bycase analysis of facts pertinent to the local jurisdiction such as size, available news media coverage, and cost of media, printing and support staff. (Id. 989 F. Supp. 1189 at 1299.) At present, local campaign limitations made directly to candidates are authorized by the California Elections Code § 10202 (“A city may, by ordinance or resolution, limit campaign contributions in municipal elections”), provided such limitations are in compliance with the Political Reform Act (Government Code § 81013, et seq.). If challenged in court as violating First Amendment rights, local limits would be evaluated case-by-case to determine whether they are locally justified. The specific dollar amount imposed as a contribution limit must not “burden substantially more speech than is necessary to further the government’s legitimate interest.” (Ward v. Rock Against Racism (1989) 491 US 781, 799.)
Arcata’s campaign contribution limitation ordinance has never been challenged as violating First Amendment Laws, and its need in protecting against political corruption has never been tested. Additionally, staff is not aware that formal analysis has been made as to whether the amount of the limitation permits adequate campaigning within the City.

As a result, it is impossible to state with certainty whether the proposed $250 limitation under the Arcata Municipal Code § 3012(A)(1) is locally justified.

Expenditure Disclosure Limitations. In contrast to the narrow purposes for which a local government may impose direct campaign contribution limitations, courts have found that a legitimate governmental interest exists in the public’s knowledge of the sources of political contributions because they educate the voters about interests a candidate is likely to respond and become beholden to. (Buckly v.Valeo (1976) 424. U.S. 1, 68). Under Government Code § 82031, independent expenditures of $1,000 or more made in support or opposition to a candidate or measure must be reported to the FPPC. There appears to be no prohibition against requiring disclosure of smaller contributions such as the proposed $240 disclosure threshold under AMC § 3012(D).

Limitations on Ballot Measures, Initiatives and Referenda Contributions. Although Arcata’s campaign contribution limitations ordinance does not limit contributions made to support or defeat ballot measures, initiatives and referenda; the following discussion is included to provide a broader understanding for campaign finance regulation. Courts have determined that the elimination of corruption and associated “political debt” is not a valid justification for limiting contributions made to support or defeat ballot measures, initiatives and referenda. One court has stated:
“Whatever the justification for prohibiting contributions that are prone to create political debts, it largely evaporates when the object of prohibition is not contributions to a candidate or party, but contributions to a public referendum. The specter of a political debt created by a contribution to a referendum campaign is too distant to warrant this further encroachment on First Amendment rights.” (PG&E v. City of Berkeley (1976) 60 Cal.App3d 123, 128-129, quoting Schwartz v. Romnes (2d. Cir. 1974) 495 F. 2d 844, 852-853.)
This decision arose from a ban prohibiting corporate contributions to support or defeat local measures, as opposed to an across-the-board limitation equally applicable to individuals and corporations. Nonetheless, the principal stated is important: valid justifications for burdening First Amendment speech in the context of candidate contribution limitations may not be valid in the context of ballot measures.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Netra Khatri, P.E., City Engineer
PREPARER: Steven Luu, Senior Project Manager - Engineering DATE: January 27, 2026
TITLE: Award Construction Contract to Sustainable Living Builders, Inc. in the amount of $173,150 for the Alliance Intertie Electrical System Replacement, Re-Roof and Solar Project; Approve Necessary and Associated Related Actions—CEQA Exempt per Section 15301.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Adopt a California Environmental Quality Act Categorical Exemption for the Alliance Intertie Electrical System Replacement, Re-Roof and Solar Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301; 2) Award a construction contract for the Alliance Intertie Electrical System Replacement, ReRoof and Solar Project to Sustainable Living Buildings, Inc., in the amount of $173,150; 3) Authorize the City Engineer to increase the contract amount by up to 15 percent ($25,972.50 for a total amount not to exceed $199,122.50) to allow for any unforeseen contingencies and additional work as necessary; and
4) Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

The City Council and the Engineering and Environmental Services Departments have identified several goals and priority projects to improve infrastructure and facilities, increase local energy independence, and provide leadership in developing strategies for climate change. To further these goals, this construction contract would allow the City to replace the aging roof, electrical service and install solar panels and a battery energy storage system at 2815 Alliance Road – the City’s primary interconnection facility to access drinking water from the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Arcata is dedicated to providing climate change resiliency leadership by example. Many Council, Committee, and Department goals relate to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, decarbonizing buildings, promoting renewable energy, and developing resilient infrastructure to support the community through natural disasters and emergency response.

The City’s facilities at 2815 Alliance Road serve as the primary point of interconnection between the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District and the City of Arcata’s water distribution system. The

facility was constructed in the early 1960’s and houses water metering and water quality sampling equipment and water distribution infrastructure.

The building is currently served by a three phase 277/480V electrical service which was utilized for chlorination equipment prior to Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District distributing chlorinated water. Staff identified that the existing service is oversized for the current needs of the facility which creates inefficiencies and greater cost for the facility’s electrical system.

The City engaged PACE Engineering, with whom the City has an agreement for on-call engineering services, to prepare plans and secure approval from PG&E to convert the service to a standard 120/240V single phase electrical service. The plans also include replacing existing light fixtures with high efficiency LED lighting, and installation of solar panels and a battery energy storage system to further reduce long-term operational costs.

As part of evaluation of the project, City staff identified that the roof and gutter system was approaching the end of its lifespan and due for replacement.

In November 2025, City staff released a bid solicitation for replacement of the existing composite shingle roof, existing gutters, installation of an 8.4kW roof mount solar array, 13.5 KWH battery energy storage system and replacement of the existing electrical service to the building.

DISCUSSION:

Sealed bids for the project were received until Thursday January 22, 2026, at 11AM. Four sealed, complete bids were received by the deadline:

No. Name of Contractor

Bidder

Unit Prices
1 Sustainable Living Builders, Inc. $ 172,650.00 $ 173,150.00 2 Harbert Roofing Inc. $ 184,512.00 $ 188,832.40
3 Hooven & Co., Inc. $ 228,506.00 $ 228,506.00
4 Michael A. Roberts Construction $ 175,258.00 $ 270,258.00 Please see Attachment A, an itemized bid tabulation sheet, for full details of the bids received. As described in the bid documents, the bid award was determined based on the base bid as calculated by unit prices.

It is recommended the Council award a contract to Sustainable Living Builders, Inc. for the Base Bid and as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. If a contract is presently awarded, work is planned to commence on or after April 15th and is anticipated to be completed within 45 working days. Prior to issuing the Notice to Proceed to the Contractor, public notifications will be made by the City and the Contractor to potentially impacted residents and businesses to inform them of construction activities, the potential for traffic impacts and possible parking restrictions (which will be minimized to the extent possible).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

It is recommended that the City Council find the project to be categorically exempt based on CEQA guidelines sections 15301(a, b) as minor alterations to existing facilities that involve no expansion of

an existing or former use at the site including but not limited to interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing and electrical conveyances and existing facilities of both investor; and publicly-owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage or other public utility services.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The City Council allocated $200,000 as part of the FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program to fund improvements at 2815 Alliance Rd., under general ledger account 661-70-64-57600.

Additionally, under the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, tax-exempt entities will be eligible for a direct payment in lieu of a tax credit worth up to 40% of the total solar array and battery energy storage system costs for equipment put into service by the December 31, 2027, deadline set by the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act for non-residential projects that initiate construction by July 1, 2026. While this is not a component of the project funding, it will help to offset cost impacts associated with construction of the solar array and battery energy storage system.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to:

1. Find the Alliance Intertie Electrical System Replacement, Re-roof and Solar Project exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15301;

2. Award a construction contract for the Alliance Intertie Electrical System Replacement, ReRoof and Solar project to Sustainable Living Builders, Inc. in the amount of $173,150;

3. Authorize the City Engineer to increase the contract amount by up to 15 percent ($25,972.50 for a total amount not to exceed $199,122.50) to allow for any unforeseen contingencies and additional work as necessary; and

4. Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Netra Khatri, City Engineer
PREPARER: Laura Kadlecik, Senior Project Manager
DATE: January 27, 2026
TITLE: Approve Two Contract Amendments with Carollo Engineers for Phase I Arcata Wastewater Treatment Facilities Upgrade Project: 1) $161,860 for Construction Management Services; 2) $44,390 for Engineering Services; and Authorize City Manager to Sign Documents.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Approve a contract amendment with Carollo Engineers, Inc., in the amount of $161,860 for continued Construction Management and Inspection services for Phase I of the Arcata Wastewater Treatment Facilities Upgrade Project;
2) Approve a contract amendment with Carollo Engineers, Inc. in the amount of $44,390 for the addition of a chlorine demand study, and a 14-month term extension to the agreement for Engineering Services During Construction for Phase I of the Arcata Wastewater Treatment Facilities Upgrade Project; and
3) Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

The City of Arcata is in its third and final year of construction of one of the largest capital improvement projects in the City’s history— the Arcata Wastewater Treatment Facilities (AWTF) Upgrade Project. The total project cost for Phase 1 of the improvements is approximately $67 million— $2.4 million funded via the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, a small portion via City’s Wastewater Fund, and the remainder funded via the State Water Resources Control Board Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) program.

Following two separate Request for Proposals solicitations for Construction Management & Inspection (CMI) services (January 2021) and for Engineering Services During Construction (ESDC) (June 2022), the City entered agreements for these services with Carollo Engineers, Inc., which was the sole respondent to both solicitations. Carollo’s design team has been assisting the City with this project since 2016, when they were the sole respondent to an RFP for engineering/predesign services.

When the contracts for CMI and ESDC services were awarded, the construction was anticipated to be completed by December 31, 2025. However, due to supply and demand issues, as well as the timing of close-out tasks (grading, paving, and soil hauling) impacted by seasonal wet weather, the contractor’s final completion date is now expected to be June 30, 2026.

In May 2025, the Council approved an amendment to the CMI services agreement in the amount of $434,843 to cover:
 Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual Preparation for the Equipment  Project Start-up Support
 Additional Geotechnical Inspection Support for Headworks Pile Installation This amendment brought the CMI services total contract price to $3,345,455. Over the course of the second half of 2025, Carollo’s CMI team used these resources to strive for confirmation of quality installation and start-up. This involved additional unanticipated costs such as extensive coating and other specialty inspectors, as well as some necessary support staff that was not anticipated in the months prior. Additionally, the contractor’s project schedule was extended beyond the end of March, and City staff and consultants are working together to maintain enough budget and support to complete the project in good standing.

As a result, another contract amendment in the amount of $161,860 is proposed to cover:
 Construction Management Close-Out, including O&M Equipment Maintenance Scheduling  Inspections for Paving and Grading
This amendment would bring the total contract price for CMI services to $3,507,314.

One of the flagship improvements to AWTF upgrade project has been the replacement of the traditional chlorine system with a state-of-the-art UV disinfection system. However, in order to be prepared for an emergency situation in which the UV system may not be functional, a back-up hypochlorite (liquid bleach) system was added to the project scope. The City’s AWTF Operators will need to know how much chlorine would be needed in such an emergency throughout various times of year, because demand will change depending on the current flow rate, water quality, water temperature, etc. Carollo has submitted an amendment proposal at a cost of $44,390 to assist the City with making these determinations by calculating the potential demand over the course of the next 12 months. The proposed work includes:
 Development of a final protocol to evaluate chlorine demand,  Sampling support and monthly data analysis, and
 Reporting of results.

The inclusion of the proposed additional scope into the Carollo ESDC contract would bring the total contract price to $1,977,080.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s AWTF currently discharges treated wastewater to Humboldt Bay in conjunction with enhanced treatment occurring in the Arcata Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary (AMWS). Discharges are regulated by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) through application of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.

In the 2012 NPDES permit, the RWQCB included requirements to make changes to the treatment system to improve wastewater treatment, protect beneficial uses, and reduce chemical usage for disinfection, due to compliance problems associated with discharge water quality. In December 2019, the RWQCB issued the City a Time Schedule Order with compliance schedules to complete the AWTF Facilities Upgrade Project to address ongoing discharge violations and treatment

deficiencies at the AWTF, which mostly arise from disinfection byproducts associated with chlorine disinfection and new water quality standards. Phase 1 of the AWTF Upgrade Project has addressed these immediate needs by replacing aging treatment plant infrastructure and installing a new UV disinfection system.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

City staff completed the required environmental review documents per both State (CEQA) and Federal (NEPA) requirements. The Notice of determination was filed in December 2020 (Clearing house 2020100483).

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The costs associated with this contract are eligible for reimbursement through SRF. The contract amendment amount will be expended in FY 25-26 and staff have budgeted this amount for FY 25-26 as follows:

WWTP Construction Management Services $161,860 Account 662-70-67-57601 WWTP Engineering Services During Construction $44,390 Account 662-70-67-57601 RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Subject: Chlorine Demand Study
Dear Laura:

This letter proposal provides a scope and budget for a Chlorine Demand Study for the City of Arcata (City) based upon our current understanding of the project. If project conditions and scope of testing changes, Carollo will provide a revised scope and budget for review and approval by the City.

The City utilizes ultraviolet disinfection as the primary disinfection process for flows up to 10 mgd. During high flow above 10 mgd, the excess flow would be chlorinated. The goal of this study is to determine the chlorine demand and dose for the operation of the chlorine system during high flow periods. Wet weather typically occurs between November and April, with the first flush typically occurring in October. Peak ammonia is typically observed in December and January with ammonia released from the system during the spring.

Task 1 – Protocol and Data Review
Carollo will prepare a draft and final protocol to evaluate the chlorine demand and chlorine dosing of the effluent over a six month period (November 2025 through April 2026) and the first flush month in 2026 (anticipated to be October 2026). Carollo will review historical data for the development of the protocol.

A draft protocol will be submitted to the City for review. After incorporation of City comments, a final protocol will be submitted to the City.

Deliverables:
 Data and information request
 Draft protocol
 Final protocol
Task 2 – Sampling Support and Monthly Data Analysis
Carollo will use our in-house water testing laboratory, Water ARC® for the chlorine demand and bacterial testing.

We will coordinate with Water ARC® for analysis of the samples and review data as it is collected. Carollo will provide support via email and phone during the testing period for sampling questions. The testing proposed for each sample collected includes:
 Chlorine demand testing – testing of up to three chlorine doses to evaluate demand and decay curves.  Bacterial testing – measuring enterococci concentrations at time zero and up to two contact times to determine the chlorine dose response.

Laura Kadlecik
City of Arcata
November 20, 2025

 Water quality – several parameters will be measured during the testing to evaluate dosing. These include turbidity, total suspended solids, pH, ultraviolet transmittance, and ammonia.

After each analysis, Carollo will analyze the data and evaluate correlations to support future full-scale chlorine dosing. Time has been included for a preparatory start up meeting in November 2025 and monthly summaries on the results as the project progresses.

Task 3 – Results Report
Carollo will compile and analyze data collected during the testing. A draft report containing the results and the evaluation of correlations to support full-scale dosing will be submitted to the City for review. After incorporation of City comments, a final report will be submitted. Time has been included for a review meeting.

Deliverables:
 Draft Results Report
 Final Results Report
Task 4 – Project Management
Carollo will prepare monthly invoices and provide team coordination.

Task 5 – Contingency
Carollo has included a 10% contingency for any unknowns that may come up during testing.

Budget Estimate
Carollo’s compensation for these services shall not exceed $44,390 without prior authorization from the City.

These costs are developed in the attached Exhibit A, utilizing Carollo’s current Fee Schedule.

Schedule
The approximate schedule for the Chlorine Demand Study is as follows:

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: February 4, 2026
TITLE: Adopt Resolution No. 256-35 Adopting Permanent Local Housing Allocation Funding Allocations for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Allocation Years; California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Exempt per the Commonsense Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15061(b)(3)).

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 256-35, A Resolution of The City Council of The City of Arcata Adopting Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funding Allocations for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Allocation Years to implement the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program; CEQA Exempt per the Commonsense Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15061(b)(3)).

INTRODUCTION:

The City of Arcata has applied for and received funding for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 allocations from the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program, administered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to develop and operate an OwnerOccupied Rehabilitation (OOR) Program.

City Council has previously approved the PLHA Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation program guidelines, which are designed to help qualified homeowners make critical repairs to their properties. Eligible improvements include the correction of code violations, remediation of substandard conditions, and health and safety upgrades such as plumbing, roofing, electrical, heating, accessibility, and energy efficiency improvements.

HCD requires jurisdictions to formally adopt PLHA funding allocations by resolution, including the specific allocation years and associated funding amounts, prior to expending funds. Adoption of Resolution No. 256-35 satisfies this requirement and authorizes the City Manager to take actions necessary to establish and implement the PLHA Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program and to expend funds accordingly.

BACKGROUND:

The PLHA Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program is designed to assist income-qualified homeowners with critical repairs that improve health, safety, and accessibility. Eligible

improvements include correction of code violations, remediation of substandard conditions, and upgrades such as plumbing, roofing, electrical, heating, accessibility, and energy efficiency improvements.

In December 2024, the City applied for PLHA funding for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 allocation years to support low-income homeowners in making essential health, safety, and accessibility-related repairs to their homes. The City Council authorized amendments to the PLHA application for these allocation years by Resolution No. 245-15. On November 20, 2025, the City Council approved the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program Guidelines by Resolution No. 256-22. These guidelines establish program eligibility requirements, allowable uses of funds, and administrative procedures.

HCD requires jurisdictions to formally adopt PLHA funding allocations by resolution, including the specific allocation years and associated funding amounts, prior to expending funds.

DISCUSSION:

The PLHA Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program is an eligible activity under PLHA Activity 7 – Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation. Through this program, the City will use PLHA funds to operate an Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program that provides deferred-payment loans to eligible homeowners for essential home repairs needed to meet health, safety, and building code standards, as well as accessibility improvements. Applicants must meet income eligibility requirements and qualify as low- to moderate-income households.

The program has been awarded PLHA funding for the following allocation years and amounts:
 2021 Allocation: $208,201
 2022 Allocation: $107,399
 2023 Allocation: $76,577
HCD requires jurisdictions to formally adopt PLHA funding allocations by resolution, including the specific allocation years and associated funding amounts, prior to expending funds. Adoption of Resolution No. 256-35 satisfies this requirement and authorizes the City Manager to take actions necessary to establish and implement the PLHA Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program and to expend funds accordingly.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

There are no specific sites proposed for the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation 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 funding does not trigger NEPA.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program will be funded through 2021, and 2022 and 2023 PLHA allocations, totaling $392,177, where 5% of the award may be used for administrative costs.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to adopt Resolution No. 256-35, A Resolution of The City Council of The City of Arcata Adopting Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funding Allocations for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Allocation Years to implement the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program; CEQA Exempt per the Commonsense Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15061(b)(3)).

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services PREPARER: Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services DATE: February 4, 2026
TITLE: Approve an Amendment to Extend the Grazing Lease with John E. and Charline H. Ford, dba John Ford Ranch, Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 501-061-001, -002,-003 and -005 through December 31, 2026; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute Applicable Documents.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Approve an amendment to extend the existing grazing lease with John E. and Charline H.

Ford, dba John Ford Ranch, assessor’s parcel nos. 501-061-001 ,-002, -003 and -005 through December 31, 2026; and
2) Authorize City Manager to execute applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND:

John E. And Charline H. Ford, dba John Ford Ranch, have been leasing a 150-acre City-owned property on the south side of Jacoby Creek since the City acquired the property in February 2003.

They are excellent tenants, exercising high-quality ranch management techniques and land stewardship consistent with the City's wildlife habitat goals while providing prompt rent payments to the City. The proposed agreement extends the term of the existing lease through the end of 2026.

Grazing on the Jacoby Creek Gannon Slough Wildlife Area supports short grass habitat important for key avian species along the Pacific Flyway.

DISCUSSION:

The amendment ratifies the terms of the existing Ford Ranch grazing lease and extends the agreement term from February 19, 2026, to December 31, 2026. The lessee is required to pay the County Assessor a taxable possessory interest. A taxable possessory interest exists whenever there is a private, beneficial use of publicly owned non-taxable real property. The lease has a provision that allows the City to reduce the available grazing acreage for wildlife habitat if City restoration projects render areas unsuitable for grazing. The lease also requires maintenance of fences and appurtenant structures.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Continued livestock grazing on the property is constant with the land use designation, General Plan and requirements from grants used for the property purchase.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

Revenue from City grazing leases is programmed in the budget under activity budget 51 and supports management of open space properties.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to approve an amendment to extend the existing grazing lease with John E. and Charline H.

Ford, dba John Ford Ranch, Assessor’s Parcel Nos. 501-061-001, -002, -003 and -005 through December 31, 2026; and authorize the City Manager to execute applicable documents. Consent Calendar vote.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Tabatha Miller, Assistant City Manager/Finance Director PREPARER: Tabatha Miller, Assistant City Manager/Finance Director DATE: February 4, 2026
TITLE: Adopt Resolution No. 256-18 Authorizing Staff to Initiate the Proposition 218 Process for Adjustments to the City of Arcata’s Water and Wastewater Rates.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council adopt Resolution No. 256-18 authorizing staff to initiate the Proposition 218 process for adjustments to the City of Arcata’s Water and Wastewater rates.

INTRODUCTION:

The City provides essential water and wastewater services to residents, businesses and other organizations in city limits and to select addresses outside of city limits. On March 5, 2025, the City Council approved a contract with Bartle Wells Associates for a water and wastewater rates study. On October 15, 2025, the City Council received a report on the results of that study.

The study recommends water rate increases over the five-year period covered and Council was presented two scenarios for implementing those rate increases. The first scenario provided for immediate revenue recovery to shore up the financial position of the Water Fund with the most substantial increase to be implemented in the first year. The second scenario phased in the revenue recovery with the most substantial increases implemented over the first year and a half. To offset the impact of the water rate increases, the study recommends delaying the moderate wastewater rate increases until the third year of the five-year rate period.

City Council delayed the agenda item originally scheduled for November 5, 2025, to initiate the Proposition 218 process, due to the impacts from the federal government shutdown, such disrupted SNAP/CalFresh benefits, unpaid federal workers, delayed and uncertain federal payments and public economic anxiety.

BACKGROUND:

In 1996, California voters adopted Proposition 218, which amended the California Constitution to establish a process that public agencies must follow when imposing new or increasing property related fees. In 2007, the California Supreme Court ruled that water service fees are property related fees, thus subject to Proposition 218 requirements. Proposition 218 mandates that any propertyrelated fee imposed by a public agency cannot exceed the cost of providing that service by imposing certain restrictions on the rate and fee amounts to be charged, and limits what costs can be funded by the revenue generated by the proposed rates and fees.

Proposition 218 requires that public agencies mail a notice of the proposed rate increases to all affected property owners or ratepayers and conduct a public hearing to consider the proposed increases. The notice must include the proposed rate and fee amounts, state how the rates and fees were calculated, the reason for the fees and the date, time and location of the public hearing. The notice must also inform affected property owners or ratepayers that the rate increase is subject to a majority protest, meaning that if more than fifty percent (50%) of the affected property owners or ratepayers submit written protests against the proposed rate increase, the increase will not be adopted. The notice must be sent to the affected property owners or ratepayers at least forty-five (45) days before the date of the public hearing.

The results of the Bartle Wells rate study and proposed rate structure are the foundation for water and wastewater rates for the next five years. That foundation is built to comply with Proposition 218 and all other legal requirements. The utility rates are based entirely on the cost of operating and maintaining the City’s water and wastewater facilities and services. Each utility is operated as an independent enterprise and all expenses and revenues for each service are accounted for in separate funds. State law requires that all fees collected by each utility be used within that utility and are not allowed to be used for unrelated services.

The City last conducted an in-depth water and wastewater cost of service rate study in 2020, which was approved and implemented by the City Council on July 1, 2020. Annual Master Fee Schedule Resolutions established rates from FY 2021 to FY 2025. Table 1 below outlines the increases for the average user’s monthly water and wastewater bills.

Table 1 – Previous Adopted Water/Wastewater Rate Percent Increases (FY 2021-FY 2025) RATES FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025
Water 37% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5%
Wastewater 10% 10% 10% 8% 8%
The last rate increase for water and wastewater was implemented July 1, 2024 (approved through a Proposition 218 process initiated in 2020). In late summer of 2024, as staff reviewed the financial status of the Water Enterprise Fund and began preparing to bid the Steel Line Replacement Project, the shortfall and potential long-term insolvency of the Water Fund was apparent. Staff sought additional funding for the project, including applying for low-interest State Rolving Fund (SRF) loans and other potential grant opportunities, but were unsuccessful because water fund projections do not support future debt service payments. Staff determined that a water rate study was needed for long-term financial planning.

While there wasn’t the same immediate need for a rate study of the Wastewater Enterprise Fund, the process provided an opportunity to update the financial plans for that utility fund and allow the rate structure of both utilities to be considered together in order to minimize the combined impact of the water and wastewater rate structure. Most City utility customers receive a combined water and wastewater bill and focus on the total cost of the two services in managing their budgets.

DISCUSSION:

In order to finalize the rate notice, as required by Proposition 218, the Council must determine which five-year (FY 2026-FY 2030) water rate scenario is preferred, or provide staff and the consultant feedback on an alternative rate structure. Likewise, the Council must confirm that the proposed wastewater rate structure is acceptable or provide staff and the consultant feedback on an alternative rate structure.

Table 1 – Proposed Water/Wastewater Rate Percent Increases (FY 2026-FY 2030) RATE

SCENARIOS
FY 2026 FY 2027 FY 2028 FY 2029 FY 2030

Wastewater 0% 0% 5.0% 5.0% 5.0%
Water Financial Overview
The need for significant Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects to replace infrastructure that has exceeded its useful life is a primary driver in the need to increase water rates. The City has identified critical CIP needs of $36 million over the next five years. The financial plan in the Bartle Wells Draft Rate Study assumes that the majority of project costs will be financed by issuing new debt and the recommended rate increases ensure that the City meets the new debt servicing requirements. Issuing debt spreads the cost of the large and expensive infrastructure projects over thirty years, which in most cases is less than the expected useful life of those assets. The financial projections also include ongoing inflation costs of four (4) percent annually.

The current fiscal health of the water fund is also driving the need for the proposed large upfront rate increases, under both scenarios.1 As discussed in prior agenda items2, current reserves are not sufficient to fund the current CIP waterline replacement project. The Council approved a $3.5 million loan from the Wastewater Fund to the Water Fund on April 2, 2025, in order to allow that project to proceed with the understanding that a future rate increase would be necessary to repay that loan. In addition to repaying the loan, a rate increase is necessary to establish adequate cash reserves and to meet the debt service coverage ratios needed to issue future debt.

Staff now recommend that the City Council select the rate increases outlined Scenario 2 because the phased in increase is more manageable by customers and provides a lower initial increase to ratepayers.

Wastewater Financial Overview
The Wastewater Fund is in good financial health. Wastewater rates were increased from FY 2021- 2025 anticipating significant capital needs, with the Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade the primary concern. The City was able to secure grant funding through state and federal programs, that reimbursed most of the costs for that project estimated at completion to be approximately $67 million. Without those grant funds, current wastewater rates would be much higher.

The City has identified that $51.4 million is needed to fund critical wastewater CIP projects over the next five years. Like the water fund, issuance of future debt will help limit rate increases, but unlike the water fund the rate increases can be delayed until the third year of the rate study period, in part because the Wastewater CIP projects are partially funded by $26.5 million in secured grants. This will help offset the more significant increases proposed in the first two years of the water scenarios

1 Under Scenario 1, a rate increase of 44 percent is proposed for the first year, and no increase in the second year and under Scenario 2, there is a 23 percent rate increase in the first year and an 18 percent increase in the second year. 2 February 5, 2025, Regular City Council Meeting; February 19, 2025, Regular City Council Meeting; March 5, 2025, Regular City Council Meeting; April 2, 2025, Regular City Council Meeting; and October 15, 2025, Regular City Council Meeting.

for the vast majority of City utility customers, who receive both water and wastewater services from the City of Arcata.

Impact to Ratepayers
As part of the City Council’s consideration of proposed water rate adjustments, staff have prepared information to clarify how the proposed changes would affect utility customers. While one of the proposed options includes an initial 44 percent increase to water rates, this does not equate to a 44 percent increase in the total utility bill. Most customers receive a single bill that includes both water and wastewater services. On average, water charges account for approximately 35 percent of the total bill, while wastewater charges account for the remaining 65 percent.

The City Council is currently evaluating two water rate options. Under the first option, overall water rates would increase by 44 percent on May 1, 2026. Scenario 2 provides for a 23% overall water rate increase on May 1, 2026. Please note that the proposed increase is an average of all rate changes but the individual rate categories may vary from the average. Likewise, individual customers’ bills may vary from the average.3
Although there are no proposed overall wastewater rate revenue increases until July 1, 2028, there are changes to rate categories. For example, in the first year of implementation, the wastewater portion of the bill for an average single-family residence is projected to decrease by 4.2 percent. The net result to the average single-family residence is an increase of 11 percent under Water Scenario 1 and 3.6 percent under Water Scenario 2.

The decrease in the average single-family residence rate is the result of two proposed changes to this category. The first change removes the 4 hundred cubic feet (HCF) usage cap included in the base rate and instead establishes a monthly flat sewer fee. This change will make sewer charges more predictable and eliminate monthly fluctuations tied to seasonal water use or inconsistent meter readings. It is also consistent with the fixed costs associated with providing residential wastewater services. However, it may increase costs for ratepayers with below-average usage.

The second change adds a new category for multi-family units served by a single meter. Rather than treating these accounts as a single-family residence—with one base charge and usage charges above the 4 HCF cap—these properties will be charged a lower per-unit flat fee, eliminating usage-based charges. For some multi-family properties, this may result in higher wastewater fees, but it corrects an inequity in how these fees have historically been charged.

Over the five years covered by the current water and wastewater rate study, under Scenario 1, the water/wastewater combined bills for the average single-family residence will increase by a total of 36 percent or $49. Under Scenario 2, the water/wastewater combined bills for the average singlefamily residence will increase by a total of 39 percent or $54.

Staff also evaluated Arcata’s current water rates in comparison to similar-sized communities in Northwest California. At present, Arcata’s average monthly water charge for a single-family home is $47.98, which is approximately $8 lower than the regional average and approximately $11 lower than the regional median charge. This comparative analysis indicates that Arcata’s water rates remain relatively low within the regional context, prior to consideration of the proposed adjustments.

3 The City encourages water/wastewater customers to review the information provided in the Proposed Proposition 218 Notice and the Bartle Wells Associates’ Water and Wastewater Rate Study to determine the actual impact their bill taking into account their rate categories and monthly usage.

Proposition 218 Process and Important Dates
Proposition 218 is a requirement of the California Constitution that establishes procedural safeguards for property owners when a local agency proposes to adopt or increase water and wastewater rates.

Under Proposition 218, affected property owners are entitled to receive advance written notice of the proposed rates, review the basis for the increases, and submit formal protests prior to any action by the City Council. These requirements are intended to ensure transparency and accountability in the rate-setting process.

Public participation is a key component of the Proposition 218 process. Community input provides the City Council with valuable information regarding resident concerns, potential financial impacts, and service priorities related to water and wastewater operations. By engaging in the process, community members contribute to an informed and balanced decision-making framework before any rate adjustments are finalized.

Prior to adopting any proposed rate increase, the City is required to mail written notices to all affected property owners and to tenants who are responsible for paying utility bills. The notice must include the proposed water and wastewater rates, an explanation of the reasons for the proposed increases, such as infrastructure investment needs, regulatory compliance requirements, or operational costs - the date, time, and location of the public hearing, and instructions for submitting a written protest.

In advance of the public hearing proposed for April 15, 2026, community members are encouraged to review the City’s Water and Wastewater Rate Study to better understand how the proposed rates were developed and how they may affect individual utility bills. Residents and ratepayers may also contact City staff with questions prior to the hearing. The rate study and supporting materials are available on the City’s website. Arcata 2025 Water and Wastewater Rate Study | Arcata, CA Proposition 218 establishes a formal protest procedure. Only written protests are considered when determining whether a proposed rate increase may be adopted. To be valid, a written protest must be submitted in writing, identify the applicable property address or parcel number, clearly state opposition to the proposed water and/or wastewater rates, and be received by the City prior to or during the public hearing. If written protests are submitted by a majority of the affected parcels, the City is legally prohibited from adopting the proposed rates.

PROPOSITION 218 TIMELINE

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

Public Resource Code Section 21080(b)(8) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15273 provide that CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares and other charges by public agencies which the public agency find are for the purpose of 1) meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits; 2) purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment or materials; 3) meeting financial reserve needs and requirements; and 4) obtaining funds for capital projects necessary to maintain current service levels.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The projected budget/fiscal impact is detailed in the attached Draft Water and Wastewater Rate Study. The proposed rates provide for sufficient revenue to enable the City to maintain the City’s water and wastewater utilities, provide sufficient reserves and support future debt service.

The proposed rates as set forth in the Proposition 218 Notice are the maximum allowable amount that the City Council can approve for the next five-year rate term. The Council always has the flexibility to implement rate adjustments that are less than adopted pursuant to Proposition 218, although future rates cannot exceed the adopted increases without going through the Proposition 218 process.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Receive a staff report;

2. Open public comment;

3. Close public comment; and

4. Motion to adopt Resolution No. 256-18 authorizing staff to initiate the Proposition 218 process for adjustments to the City of Arcata’s Water and Wastewater rates.

Re: Water and Wastewater Rate Study
Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) is pleased to submit to the City of Arcata (City) the attached Water and Wastewater Rate Study. The study presents Bartle Wells Associate’s analysis of the operating and non-operating expenses of the City’s water and wastewater enterprise funds and provides five-year cash flow projections and rates. The primary purpose of this study was to make recommendations that would achieve their financial sustainability while improving legal compliance and proportionality.

BWA finds that the rates and charges proposed in our report reflect the cost-of-service for each customer, follow generally accepted rate setting principles, and adhere to the substantive requirements of Proposition 218. BWA believes the proposed rates are fair and reasonable to the City’s customers.

We have enjoyed working with the City on this rate study and appreciate the assistance of City staff members throughout the project. Please contact us with any future questions about this study and the rate recommendations.

City of Arcata – 2025 Water and Wastewater Rate Study 1 |Page 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Introduction
The City of Arcata provides water and wastewater services to an estimated population of approximately 19,000. The water and wastewater utilities are financially self-supporting enterprises that rely primarily on revenues from service charges to fund the costs of providing service. As such, the City’s rates need to be set at adequate levels to a) fund the costs of operating and maintaining the water and wastewater systems, b) fund necessary capital improvements to keep the City’s infrastructure in good operating condition, and c) meet annual debt service funding requirements.

In 2025, the City engaged BWA to perform a rate study analyzing the capital and operating costs associated with the City’s water and wastewater utilities and to determine recovery of costs for providing water and wastewater utility services. Proposed rates are designed to fund the operating and capital needs of the City’s utilities and equitably recover costs from all customers. Final recommendations incorporate input from City Staff.

1.2 Key Drivers of Proposed Rate Increases
The City is anticipating a number of financial challenges that will require rate increases in upcoming years. Key drivers of future rate increases are:

Ongoing Cost Inflation
The City’s water and wastewater enterprises face ongoing operating cost inflation due to annual increases in a range of expenses including staffing, utilities, insurance, supplies, etc. On top of rate increases needed for other purposes, annual rate increases are needed to keep revenues aligned with cost inflation and prevent rates from falling behind the cost of providing service. Historically, inflation consistently hovered between 2% and 3%. Currently, inflation has mostly normalized after forty-year highs but remains near 3%. Given the recent volatility, BWA designed the inflation projections to be slightly conservative to leave the City in a strong financial position while not driving excessive rate increases.

Capital Improvement Needs & Rehabilitation of Aging Infrastructure The City takes a proactive approach to maintaining its water and wastewater systems which requires a steady stream of repair, improvement, and replacement projects. Accounting for construction cost inflation, the City has identified approximately $36.0 million of water improvement projects and $51.4 million of wastewater improvement projects over the next 5 years.

Bartle Wells Associates
City of Arcata – 2025 Water and Wastewater Rate Study 2 |Page This study assumes the City will finance the majority of project costs by issuing new debt. While the recommended rate increases ensure the City will meet its new debt servicing requirements, it is important to note that the additional debt servicing will impact the City’s ability to use future rate revenues to fund other ongoing water and wastewater projects.

1.3 Rate Recommendations
Updated financial projections for the water and wastewater enterprises indicate a need for annual revenue increases over the next five years. This report details the proposed water rates for two different water rate revenue scenarios and the proposed wastewater rates. With the recommended rate increases, the City will be able to fund the capital projects necessary to continue providing a high level of service, pay for rising operating costs, and maintain the financial health of the utilities.

BWA reviewed the City’s water and wastewater rates and has the following recommendations to align rates with the current cost of providing service and improve compliance with the requirements of Proposition 218:
• Update the fixed and variable rates to proportionally reflect the cost-of-service analysis in this report.
• Charge outside city customers the same rates charged to inside-city customers.

Due to the cost-of-service analysis and structure adjustments, there will be some variation in the impacts to each customer class in the first year of the recommended rates. The remaining four years of the recommended rate increases are applies on an across-the-board basis with the same percentage increase to all charges. The following tables show a schedule of proposed rates for the next five years.

In future years, the City can re-evaluate its finances and revenue requirements and adjust rates as needed based on updated projections. However, while the City always has the flexibility to implement rate adjustments that are lower than adopted pursuant to Proposition 218, future rates cannot exceed adopted increases without going through the Proposition 218 process again. Rates adopted pursuant to Proposition 218 are essentially future rate caps.

City of Arcata – 2025 Water and Wastewater Rate Study 4 |Page 2 BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES
Background
The City of Arcata is framed by the Pacific Ocean on the west, forested hills on the east, the Mad River on the North, and Humboldt Bay to the south. It is situated in an 11 square mile area in the northern coast region of California at the western mid-point of Humboldt County and is located 275 miles north of San Francisco. The City provides water and wastewater services to an estimated population of approximately 19,000.

In 2025, the City engaged BWA to perform a rate study analyzing the capital and operating costs associated with the City’s water and wastewater utilities and to determine recovery of costs for providing water and wastewater utility services. This report along with all included exhibits and appendixes presents BWA’s analysis of the operating and non-operating expenses of the City’s water and wastewater enterprises. The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the City’s enterprise funds and make recommendations that enhance the financial sustainability of each enterprise and to review utility rates to ensure that they adhere to the State’s legal requirements.

Rate Study Objectives
Key goals and objectives of the rate study include developing water and wastewater rates that:
• Capture enough revenues to move forward with and complete capital projects that will provide City of Arcata water rate payers with clean and safe drinking water. • Capture enough revenues to move forward with and complete capital projects and that will ensure reliable wastewater collection and treatmentservices for City of Arcata wastewater rate payers.
• Recover the costs of providing utility services including operating costs, capital costs, and build prudent reserves to ensure the water and wastewater funds continue to operate as financially self-sustaining Enterprise Funds.
• Are fair and equitable to all customers.
• Are easy to understand and implement.
• Comply with the substantive cost-of-service requirements of the California Constitution, Article 13D, Section 6 (established by Proposition 218) and the general mandate of Article 10, Section 2 that prohibits the wasteful use of water.
• Support the City’s long-term operational and financial stability.

This report summarizes key findings and recommendations for overall rate revenue increases over the next five years. The full set of tables are included in the appendix to this report.

City of Arcata – 2025 Water and Wastewater Rate Study 5 |Page 3 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS & RATE METHODOLOGY

3.1 Constitutional Rate Requirements
The California Constitution includes two key articles that directly govern or impact the City’s water and wastewater rates: Article 10 and Article 13D. The water rate recommendations developed in this study were designed to comply with constitutional mandates, provisions of the California Water Code and Government Code. In accordance with California constitutional provisions, the proposed rates are designed to a) recover the City’s cost of providing service, b) recover revenues in proportion to the cost for serving each customer, and c) promote conservation and discourage waste.

Article 10, Section 2
Article 10, Section 2 of the California Constitution was established by voter-approval in 1976 and requires public agencies to maximize the beneficial use of water, prevent waste, and encourage conservation. Section 2 states that:

It is hereby declared that because of the conditions prevailing in this State the general welfare requires that the water resources of the State be put to beneficial use to the fullest extent of which they are capable, and that the waste or unreasonable use or unreasonable method of use of water be prevented, and that the conservation of such waters is to be exercised with a view to the reasonable and beneficial use thereof in the interest of the people and for the public welfare.

Article 13D, Section 6
Proposition 218 was adopted by California voters in 1996 and added Articles 13C and 13D to the California Constitution. Article 13D, Section 6 governs property-related charges, which the California Supreme Court subsequently ruled includes ongoing utility System Charges such as water, wastewater, and garbage rates. Article 13D, Section 6 establishes a) procedural requirements for imposing or increasing property-related charges, and b) substantive requirements for those charges. Article 13D also requires voter approval for new or increased property-related charges but exempts rates for water, wastewater, and garbage service from this voting requirement if the appropriate procedure is followed.

The substantive requirements of Article 13D, Section 6 require the City’s water rates to meet the following conditions:
1) Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not exceed the funds required to provide the property-related service.
2) Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed.
