WHEREAS, children’s cognitive, physical, social-emotional, and language and literacy development are built on a foundation of children’s positive interactions with adults, peers, and their environment; and

GODWIT DAYS

SPRING MIGRATION BIRD FESTIVAL
April 16-19, 2026
WHEREAS, about 96 million Americans enjoy observing, photographing or feeding wild birds and a 2022 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service study found that birdwatchers contributed about $107.6 billion to the U.S. economy; and

About 43 million birders take trips exclusively to commune with other birders or count birds by sight or sound; and

Humboldt Bay, its river estuaries, the region’s mountains, coniferous forests, and rugged ocean coast habitats offer a variety of bird species for viewing that surpasses the total bird species counts of 40 states and 10 Canadian provinces.

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: April 1, 2026
TITLE: Approve an Application for Grant Funds from the California State Coastal Conservancy for the Jolly Giant Creek and Butcher Slough Coastal Resilience and Restoration Planning Project; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute All Applicable Documents.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Approve application for grant funds from the State Coastal Conservancy for the Jolly Giant Creek and Butcher Slough Coastal Resilience and Restoration Planning Project; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

The Environmental Services Department proposes to request grant funds to help fund a multi-benefit coastal resilience and habitat restoration planning project for the lower two miles of Jolly Giant Creek and Butcher Slough. The project will range from Shay Park through downtown Arcata and the Little Lakes Property to the outlet in Humboldt Bay at the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary.

BACKGROUND:

The Arcata Wetlands and Creeks Committee has had a goal for several years to pursue funding for restoration of Jolly Giant Creek. Environmental Services Department staff have researched various grant funding opportunities to pursue restoration planning for Jolly Giant Creek and the SCC Climate Bond (Proposition 4) funding program has been identified as a good fit. In addition, the City Council has a priority project to continue to pursue sea level adaptation projects. SCC allocates the Climate Bond funding through a rolling grant application process to support a variety of climate related priorities, including multi-benefit coastal resiliency projects. The City submitted a required pre-application to the SCC in late 2025 and was approved to submit a full grant proposal.

DISCUSSION:

The Environmental Services Department intends to request approximately $600,000 to identify and prioritize habitat restoration and sea level rise adaptation opportunities of the two-mile study area in Jolly Giant Creek and Butcher Slough. The planned project will develop a feasibility study report for the project area and 30% design plans for a multi-benefit project that would provide sea level rise and flood resilience, along with salmonid habitat restoration, utilizing a portion of the Little Lakes property in the lower Butcher Slough reach. This work will build off the recently completed Arcata

Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Capital Improvement Project Adaptation Concept Plan project, funded by the California Coastal Commission. In addition, the proposed project would fit within Council’s direction to staff provided at the February 26, 2026 Study Session to prioritize adaptation and restoration on the eastern edge of the Little Lakes property which could benefit habitat and sea level rise protection for the South H and South G neighborhoods.

The project will include the following tasks: 1) Community Engagement and formation of a Technical Advisory Committee, 2) Data Collection and Hydraulic Assessment 3) Feasibility Study Report, 4) Restoration Concepts Development, 5) Alternatives Analysis and 30% Design Plans, 6) CEQA Documentation.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

This action is consistent with the City’s Sea Level Rise Chapter of the recently adopted Local Coastal Element and is listed as a Council Priority Project for 2025/2026 to continue sea level rise adaptation planning and implementation strategies including research, analysis, and project implementation and strategic property acquisition to support long term climate change adaptation.

COMMITTEE/COMMISSION REVIEW:

The Wetlands and Creeks Committee have expressed support for this grant application.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

This grant proposal is for a planning-level study only and exempt from CEQA, as it does not meet the definition of a project. If funded, the study would include a CEQA documentation task to conduct environmental review for a potential project in the Butcher Slough/Little Lakes portion of the project area.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The grant request for funding will be approximately $600,000. If the City is awarded funding, a budget adjustment would be completed to add both revenue and expense funds into the upcoming 2026/2027 budget.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to approve application for grant funds from the State Coastal Conservancy for the Jolly Giant Creek and Butcher Slough Coastal Resilience and Restoration Planning Project; and authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents. Consent Calendar vote.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Netra Khatri, City Engineer
PREPARER: David Caisse, Assistant City Engineer
DATE: April 1, 2026
TITLE: Request the Annual Engineer's Report and Preparation of Notices to Declare the City's Intention to Continue to Levy and Collect from Existing Assessment Districts to Include Mad River Parkway Business Center, Windsong Subdivision and Janes Creek Meadow.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council request the annual Engineer’s Report and preparation of notices to declare the City’s intention to continue to levy and collect assessments of existing assessment districts to include Mad River Parkway Business Center Landscape Maintenance Assessment District, Windsong Subdivision Landscape Maintenance Assessment District and Janes Creek Meadow Landscape Maintenance Assessment District.

INTRODUCTION:

The City has three assessment districts that are billed annually as part of their property tax assessments. As required under the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, annual Engineer’s Reports and Resolutions of Intent to continue to levy assessments are required. The Resolutions of Intent are incorporated into the City’s annual budget process. This action directs the City Engineer to complete the required reports and notices in preparation of the budget adoption.

BACKGROUND:

The City is allowed under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 to create assessment districts to install, maintain and service public landscaping and lighting. All three of the districts were legally created based on an Engineer’s Report which clearly describes the improvements, work, and costs.

Several specific parts (A-F) are required to be prepared under the Engineer’s Report, including:

Part A—plans and specifications for the improvements are filed with the City Clerk. Although separately bound, the plans and specifications are a part of this report and are included in it by reference.

Part B—an estimate of the cost of maintaining the improvement.

Part C—an assessment of the estimated cost of maintaining the improvement on each benefited parcel of land within the assessment district.

Part D—a statement of the method by which the undersigned has determined the amount proposed to be assessed against each parcel.

Part E—a list of the names and addresses of the owners of real property within the assessment district, as shown on the last equalized assessment roll for taxes, or as known to the Clerk. The list is keyed to Part C by assessment number.

Part F—a diagram showing all of the parcels or real property within this assessment district. The diagram is keyed to Part C by assessment number.

DISCUSSION:

Annually, an Engineer’s Report is required to be prepared to report to the City Council so they may adopt a resolution proposing any new improvements or substantial changes in existing improvements. There are no changes recommended within the Windsong and Janes Creek Meadow Assessment Districts. The Mad River Parkway will see a Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase of

2.7% per the approved conditions of the district. City forces will continue to perform the work/improvements and maintenance as per the original Engineer’s Report and request the continued assessment of the benefited parcels.

Please refer to the three attached reports for the districts, including the funds required and expended.

Written public notifications will be published in the local paper and following a public hearing the Council will be asked to approve the Engineer’s Reports and to adopt a resolution for each individual district, declaring the continued collection of assessments.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

Failure to approve the continued assessments would result in a reduction of funds to maintain the grounds and lighting within the three assessment districts. The total funding recommended in the Engineer’s Reports for the three districts is $39,403.61.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to Request the Annual Engineer's Report and Preparation of Notices to Declare the City's Intention to Continue to Levy and Collect Assessments of Existing Assessment Districts to Include Mad River Parkway Business Center Landscape Maintenance Assessment District, Windsong Subdivision Landscape Maintenance Assessment District and Janes Creek Meadow Landscape Maintenance Assessment District. Consent Calendar Vote.

David Caisse, Assistant City Engineer 04/01/26 City of Arcata Engineer's Report for The Janes Creek
Meadow Landscape Maintenance
Assessment District
2026/2027

A: OVERVIEW
The City of Arcata (“City”) annually levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the Landscape and Lighting Assessment District Titled Janes Creek Meadow Landscape Maintenance Assessment District in order to continue the maintenance of landscape and lighting improvements within the “District”. The District was formed in October of 2003 and is levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”) and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID, added by Proposition 218. This Engineer’s Annual Report (“Report”) describes the District, any changes to the District, modifications to the improvements or zones, and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2026/2027.

The budgets and annual assessments are based on the City’s estimated cost to maintain the improvements that provide special benefits to properties within the District. The word “parcel”, for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Parcel Number by the Humboldt County Assessor’s Office. The Humboldt County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments on the tax roll.

Each fiscal year, an Engineer’s Report is prepared and presented to the City Council describing the District any changes to the District or improvements and the proposed budget and assessments for that fiscal year and the City Council shall hold a noticed public hearing regarding these matters prior to approving and ordering the proposed levy of assessments.

Following final approval of the Report the Council orders the levy and collection of assessments for the fiscal year pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller, and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in fiscal year 2026/2027.

David Caisse, Assistant City Engineer 02/25/26 City of Arcata Engineer's Report for The Windsong
Landscape Maintenance Assessment
District
2026/2027

A: OVERVIEW
The City of Arcata (“City”) annually levies and collects special assessments on parcels within the Landscape Assessment District Titled Windsong Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (WLAD) in order to continue the maintenance of landscape improvements within the “District”.

The District was formed in October 1995 and is levied annually, pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the “1972 Act”) and the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID, added by Proposition 218. This Engineer’s Annual Report (“Report”) describes the District, any changes to the District, modifications to the improvements or zones, and the proposed assessments for fiscal year 2026/2027.

The budgets and annual assessments are based on the City’s estimated cost to maintain the improvements that provide special benefits to properties within the District. The word “parcel”, for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessment Parcel Number by the Humboldt County Assessor’s Office. The Humboldt County Auditor/Controller uses Assessment Parcel Numbers and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties assessed for special district benefit assessments on the tax roll.

Each fiscal year, an Engineer’s Report is prepared and presented to the City Council describing the District any changes to the District or improvements and the proposed budget and assessments for that fiscal year and the City Council shall hold a noticed public hearing regarding these matters prior to approving and ordering the proposed levy of assessments.

Following final approval of the Report the Council orders the levy and collection of assessments for the fiscal year pursuant to the 1972 Act. In such case, the assessment information will be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller, and included on the property tax roll for each parcel in fiscal year 2026/2027.

ATTACHMENT A

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: April 1, 2026
TITLE: Authorize Staff to Investigate and Potentially Issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Redesign and Update of the Visit Arcata Website.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council Authorize staff to (1) investigate options for redesigning and updating the City-owned Visit Arcata website; and (2), if deemed appropriate, prepare and issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit qualified vendors to provide website redesign, development, and related services.

INTRODUCTION:

The City owns and is currently responsible for maintaining the visitarcata.com website. There is no budget designated for this task and little support available in terms of staff time to maintain the website in the manner desired by the community, staff, Council Members, local businesses and the Arcata Chamber of Commerce.

BACKGROUND:

The Visit Arcata website should serve as a primary digital resource for visitors, residents, and businesses seeking information about tourism, events, local attractions, and amenities within the City of Arcata. The site can play an important role in promoting economic development, supporting local businesses, and enhancing Arcata’s public image.

Over time, the current website has become outdated in terms of design, functionality, accessibility, and user experience. Additionally, evolving expectations, integration with social media, and accessibility compliance standards (including ADA requirements) necessitate a comprehensive review and potential modernization of the platform.

DISCUSSION:

Staff proposes conducting an initial assessment of the current Visit Arcata website to identify deficiencies, opportunities for improvement, and desired features for a modern tourism-focused website. This effort would include:
 Evaluating current website performance, usability, and content structure  Identifying best practices in tourism and municipal website design

 Assessing integration needs (e.g., event calendars, booking tools, mapping features)  Reviewing accessibility and compliance requirements
Based on this assessment, staff would determine whether to proceed with issuing an RFP. The RFP would seek qualified consultants or firms with expertise in website design, branding, content strategy, and digital marketing to:
 Redesign and modernize the Visit Arcata website
 Improve user experience and navigation
 Ensure ADA compliance going forward
 Enhance content management capabilities for staff and develop a longer-term plan for site maintenance and content updates
The Arcata Chamber of Commerce has offered to provide redesign and content development services, and this option will be included in staff’s evaluation of opportunities to redesign the website. Any outsourcing of this work will be through contract or contract amendment for City Council approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

This action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as it involves administrative and planning activities that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

This action authorizes staff to conduct research and potentially issue an RFP; no direct fiscal impact is associated with this authorization.

If an RFP or another opportunity to redesign the Visit Arcata website is identified, staff will report back to City Council and request funding from the City Council Community Projects Account (101- 10-01-52104), which has a current budget of $269,000. To date, $12,500 has been spent on Friday Night Markets in partnership with Humboldt Made and the Arcata Chamber of Commerce ($7,500) and to sponsor the Choose Humboldt Campaign over the holiday season ($5,000). An additional $100,000 from this account has been set aside to provide additional financial support for the Economic Strategic Plan. Staff is currently recommending a $25,000 budget for this redesign and update to the Visit Arcata Website.

However, costs associated with website redesign and development will be refined and identified through this process and brought back to the City Council for consideration and approval.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to authorize staff to (1) investigate options for redesigning and updating the City-owned Visit Arcata website; and (2), if deemed appropriate, prepare and issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit qualified firms to provide website redesign, development, and related services.

Consent Calendar vote.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Emily Sinkhorn, Director of Environmental Services PREPARER: Doug Culbert, Deputy Director of Environmental Services, Streets & Utilities DATE: April 1, 2026
TITLE: Approve a Contract Amendment Amounting to $11,890 with Northpoint Consulting Group, Inc., for Engineering Services for the First Street Lift Station Improvement Project, for a Total Not to Exceed $182,200; and Authorize City Manager to Sign Documents.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Approve additional compensation in the amount of $11,890 to the contract with Northpoint Consulting Group, Inc., for Engineering Services for the First Street Lift Station Improvement Project, for a total contract price not to exceed $182,200; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents.

INTRODUCTION:

On August 6, 2025, the City Council awarded a contract to Northpoint Consulting Group, Inc. for engineering design services for the First Street Lift Station Improvement Project and authorized a 5% increase for contingency, for a total amount not to exceed $170,730.

The project includes replacing the existing natural gas-powered pumping system with electric submersible pumps, upgrading electrical infrastructure, and improving system functionality and reliability.

The project is currently at the 95% design phase, with final design documents still forthcoming.

Through completion of the 95% design deliverable, project costs have utilized nearly all of the available contingency balance. It is anticipated that an additional $11,890 will be required to complete the final (100%) design deliverable. Therefore, staff is seeking Council approval for additional compensation to complete the design phase, which would make the amended contract price not to exceed $182,200.

DISCUSSION:

As the design has progressed, additional effort has been required beyond the original scope to address project-specific design refinements, coordination with equipment vendors, and electrical system integration.

Northpoint Consulting Group has identified several factors contributing to the increased level of effort, including additional design components, expanded coordination with vendors and electrical engineering (including PG&E-related coordination), and minor groundwater well design elements.

Northpoint Consulting Group has requested an additional $11,890 in order to complete responses to comments and finalize the plans and specifications for the 100% design deliverable.

Staff has reviewed the request and determined that additional work is necessary to advance a fully coordinated and bid-ready design. These efforts are expected to reduce the potential for change orders and construction delays by resolving design and coordination issues prior to bidding.

With this amendment of $11,890, the total contract amount will increase to $182,200.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

This action is administrative in nature and does not constitute a project under CEQA. Environmental review for the First Street Lift Station Improvement Project will be completed prior to construction.

It is anticipated that the project will qualify for a categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction).

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The amended contract amount of $182,200 will be funded through Wastewater Fund 662-70-67- 57604 and is within the overall project budget for the First Street Lift Station Improvement Project.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Motion to approve additional compensation in the amount of $11,890 to the contract with Northpoint Consulting Group, Inc., for Engineering Services for the First Street Lift Station Improvement Project, for a total contract price not to exceed $182,200; and authorize the City Manager to execute all applicable documents. Consent Calendar vote.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Keira Vink, Human Resources and Administrative Services Director PREPARER: Keira Vink, Human Resources and Administrative Services Director DATE: April 1, 2026
TITLE: Compliance with Legal Obligations Re: Public Hearing on City Staff Vacancies and the City’s Recruitment and Retention Efforts to Comply with Legal Obligations (Govt Code Section 3502.3).

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Open the public hearing;
2) Receive a staff report and public comments; and
3) Close the public hearing.

INTRODUCTION:

Gov. Code § 3502.3 requires public agencies, including the City of Arcata, to hold at least one (1) public hearing per fiscal year to discuss staff vacancies and the City’s recruitment and retention efforts.

BACKGROUND:

Gov. Code § 3502.3 was introduced to address the issue of job vacancies in local government, which adversely affects the delivery of public services and employee workload. Among other requirements, the bill mandates that public agencies present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before the agency’s governing body at least once per fiscal year. The bill was enacted into law and is codified in the Gov. Code § 3502.3. The new law was effective January 1, 2025, and the City gave a presentation last year on April 2, 2025, in compliance with the law.

DISCUSSION:

In compliance with the new legal obligations, the City is required to do the following:

1. Public Hearing: At least once each fiscal year, at a public hearing before the City Council, the City shall present information regarding the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(1)) and identify any necessary changes to policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(3)).

If the City Council adopts an annual budget during the fiscal year, this presentation must occur prior to the City Council’s adoption of the final budget for the City of Arcata. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(a)(2).)

2. Employee Organization Participation: Allow the recognized employee organization for each bargaining unit at the City to make presentations during the public hearing concerning vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. There are two represented bargaining units at the City and one unrepresented bargaining unit. Both represented units were noticed of the public hearing on March 5, 2026. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(b).)

3. Additional Reporting for High Vacancy Rates: If vacancies within a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20% of authorized full-time positions in that bargaining unit, upon request of the recognized employee organization for that bargaining unit, the City must provide additional information during the public hearing, including the following: (1) the total number of vacancies; (2) the number of applicants; (3) the average time to fill positions; and (4) opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions for employees in the bargaining unit. (Gov. Code § 3502.3(c).) The City of Arcata did not have a vacancy rate at or above 20% in any bargaining unit.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The administrative policy and procedures for the public hearing on City vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts (“Policy”) established protocol for the City’s public hearings on vacancies in order to ensure a fair, orderly and efficient hearing process. The Policy was approved by the City Council on April 2, 2025.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact associated with conducting the public hearing required under Gov.

Code § 3502.3.

STAFF REPORT – CITY COUNCIL MEETING
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Chris Ortega, Chief of Police
PREPARER: Chris Ortega, Chief of Police
DATE: April 1, 2026
TITLE: Introduce Ordinance No. 1584, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Repealing Article 12 (Public Safety Committee) in Chapter 3 (Boards, Commissions, Committees and Task Forces) of Title II (Administration), of the Arcata Municipal Code.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Council:
1) Introduce Ordinance No. 1584, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Repealing Article 12 (Public Safety Committee) in Chapter 3 (Boards, Commissions, Committees and Task Forces) of Title II (Administration), of the Arcata Municipal Code; and 2) Waive reading of the text and consent to read by title only.

INTRODUCTION:

The City is making administrative changes to the Arcata Municipal Code through this Ordinance.

The Ordinance will repeal Article 12, Public Safety Committee, within Chapter 3 of Title II. This action is intended to streamline the City’s advisory body structure and align public safety policy discussion and oversight directly with the City Council and City Manager.

Public safety topics are addressed through multiple channels, including City Council meetings, public engagement, and ongoing coordination among the Police Department, City Manager, and senior City staff. The City Council receives public input and establishes policy direction through noticed public meetings. City staff, including the Chief of Police, City Manager, and senior city staff, regularly engage with community members and stakeholder groups to inform operational and strategic priorities. Policy direction is developed through this collaborative process and implemented by the City Manager through departmental leadership, including the Police Department.

Council may introduce Ordinance No. 1584 at this meeting and adopt it at the next regular scheduled meeting.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Safety Committee was established to provide a forum for discussion and review of public safety matters and to make recommendations to the City Council.

In recent years, interest and participation in the Public Safety Committee has declined. Despite efforts to recruit members, including advertising vacancies and conducting outreach, several positions have remained unfilled for extended periods. As a result, the Public Safety Committee has

experienced ongoing challenges maintaining full membership, achieving quorum, and sustaining continuity in its work.

During the same period, public safety issues have increasingly been addressed through regular City Council meetings, study sessions, strategic planning processes, and ongoing coordination among the Police Department, City Manager, and senior City staff, as well as through community engagement efforts. These established channels provide consistent opportunities for public input, interdepartmental coordination, and policy development.

DISCUSSION:

The Council should consider public comments and then introduce the ordinance and continue the matter to their next meeting for adoption.

If adopted, the Public Safety Committee will be dissolved and future public safety policy discussion, program review, and strategic planning will occur through regular and special meetings of the City Council, as well as ongoing coordination among the Police Department, City Manager, and senior City staff. This approach:
• Addresses ongoing vacancies and declining participation that have limited the Committee’s effectiveness;
• Reflects the City’s current model of public safety engagement through Council meetings, staff coordination, and community interaction;
• Reduces administrative workload related to meeting preparation, staffing, and coordination; and
• Ensures that policy direction is established by the City Council and implemented through the City Manager in coordination with the Police Department.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Repeal of the Public Safety Committee represents a structural change to how public safety policy matters are reviewed and considered. Public safety issues, strategic priorities, and program direction will be addressed through City Council meetings and through ongoing coordination among the Police Department, City Manager, and senior City staff, rather than through a standing advisory committee.

This approach reflects current practice, in which public safety matters are informed by public input received at Council meetings, engagement between staff and community members, and coordination across City departments. It reinforces the Council’s role in setting policy direction in public meetings and the City Manager’s role in implementing that direction through departmental leadership.

This action does not change the City’s operational public safety services, policies, or service levels.

It modifies only the advisory structure through which policy discussions are conducted.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA):

This ordinance makes administrative amendments to the Arcata Municipal Code that will not cause a physical change to the environment. Consequently, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that enactment of this ordinance will have a significant impact on the environment and this action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), common sense exemption.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

None. Repeal of the Committee may result in minor administrative savings related to staff time and meeting support.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Open the Public Hearing.

2. Receive the staff report and review questions with staff.

3. Open public comment.

4. Close public comment and close the Public Hearing.

5. Motion to introduce Ordinance No. 1584, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Arcata Repealing Article 12 (Public Safety Committee) in Chapter 3 (Boards, Commissions, Committees and Task Forces) of Title II (Administration), of the Arcata Municipal Code; waive reading of the text and consent to read by title only.
