A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cloverdale Authorizing Remote Teleconference Meetings of the City in Compliance with Assembly Bill 361
________________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended Council Action(s):
Adopt a Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cloverdale Authorizing Remote Teleconference Meetings of the City of Cloverdale of the City in Compliance with Assembly Bill 361.” ________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:
All meetings of the City Council and the City’s other legislative bodies are open and public, as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act, Government Code section 54950 et seq., so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and watch the City’s legislative bodies conduct their business. On March 17, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act in order to allow local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. As a result of Executive Order N-29-20, staff set up virtual meetings for all City Council meetings and other City legislative bodies. On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which, effective September 30, 2021, ended the provisions of Executive Order N-29-20 that allowed local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means.
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 361 (2021) (“AB 361”), which allows for local legislative bodies to continue to conduct meetings via teleconferencing under specified conditions and includes a requirement that legislative bodies make specified findings. AB 361 took effect upon the expiration of Executive Order N-29-20 on October 1, 2021. AB 361 allows a local agency legislative body to hold a meeting utilizing teleconferencing without complying with the standard teleconferencing requirements if the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency and if the local Public Health Officer recommends social distancing measures to protect the public’s health and safety during local government meetings. These conditions currently exist.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:
Governor Newsom’s March 4, 2020 Proclamation of Emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is still in effect. In addition, the Sonoma County Public Health Officer continues to recommend teleconferencing or social distancing to protect the public’s health and safety during local government meetings.
The attached Resolution makes the findings to confirm the current conditions to allow continued teleconference meetings pursuant to AB 361 for the City Council and other legislative bodies of the City. The attached Resolution will become effective upon adoption. This will allow members of the public to safely observe and participate in local government meetings during the continued pandemic. 15 City Council
October 12, 2022
Item No. D.4
If a meeting is held via teleconference under AB 361, the following requirements apply:
1. Notices and agenda requirements remain the same under the Brown Act;
2. No physical location is required for public attendance or public comment. However, the public must be able to access and participate in the meeting through a call-in or an internet-based service, and instructions for how to participate must appear in the posted notices or agenda;
3. Teleconference meetings must protect the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public;
4. If there is any disruption of the call-in or internet-based service, the agency must suspend the meeting until the problem is fixed;
5. Legislative bodies may allow public comments to be submitted prior to a meeting but must also allow the public to participate in real time through call-in or internet-based service;
6. If an internet-based service requires registration through a third-party, individuals can be required to register with the third-party to participate in the meeting; and
7. When providing a public comment period, whether after each item or during a general comment period, a legislative body must allow reasonable time for members of the public to comment and must also include reasonable time for members to register with a third-party host if applicable.
In order to continue to hold remote meetings, the City Council may declare every 30 days that they have reconsidered the state of emergency conditions and either (i) the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person, or (ii) state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing. The City Council may also readopt their original findings under AB 361 to hold remote teleconference meetings if more than 30 days have passed. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Alternative Options:
1. Do not adopt the Resolution authorizing continued remote meetings. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Subcommittee Recommendation:
N/A
________________________________________________________________________________________ Budget/Financial Impact:
Continued remote access to City Council meetings will continue current additional expenses. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Attachments:

The City of Cloverdale Salary Schedule with all pay rates and special compensation rates was last approved by the City Council on January 26, 2022 with an effective date December 13, 2021.
The salary schedule should be its own, standalone document that the governing body adopts in a publicly noticed meeting that complies with all open meeting laws. Section 570.5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 2 requires that the City Salary Schedule be published on the City’s internet site and be approved by the City Council each time a modification is made.
______________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:
The following modifications to employee pay and compensation rates have been made since adoption of the previous salary schedule by the City Council:

Mr. David Kelley
City Manager
City of Cloverdale
124 N. Cloverdale Blvd.
Cloverdale, CA 95425
SUBJECT: Proposal for Engineering Services for the City of Cloverdale to Prepare a Recycled Water Feasibility Study and Planning Grant Application
Dear Mr. Kelley:
The purpose of this letter proposal is to provide the City of Cloverdale (City) with a proposal for preparation of a Recycled Water Feasibility Study (Study) and a Planning Grant Application.
BACKGROUND
The City is interested in preparing a Feasibility Study to evaluate the potential for implementation of a recycled water project. The City owns and operates a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) that produces disinfected secondary wastewater and discharges treated wastewater to percolation ponds located adjacent to the Russian River. The City is interested in recycling its wastewater to beneficially reuse the water locally and to provide a new water supply that will offset demands on the City’s potable water supply. To maximize the opportunities for recycled water use within the City, the City would need to add treatment facilities to produce recycled water that meets the State’s requirements for disinfected tertiary recycled water (referred to in this proposal as recycled water). Possible recycled water use within the City includes: landscape irrigation, agricultural irrigation, construction use, fill stations, and other uses as approved in the State’s Title 22 regulations.
The City’s WWTP is permitted for operations and discharge under the State Water Resources Control Board’s North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) NPDES No. CA0022977.
Treatment facilities include a headworks facility, aeration, and settling ponds prior to chlorine disinfection and discharge to on-site percolation ponds. The Regional Water Board has notified the City that in the future (perhaps within 10 years) the WWTP may be required in increase its level of treatment. Any recycled water planning work should consider future treatment needs and WWTP improvements to provide strategic and cost-effective solutions.
State and federal agencies are investing in projects that expand water supply resources and help to build reliable, sustainable water projects, including recycled water. Planning grants from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) are available to support the preparation of recycled water feasibility studies. Planning grants are available at up to 50 percent of the total planning cost up to a maximum grant amount that is approved annually by the SWRCB with adoption of the state fiscal year Intended Use Plan 49 Mr. David Kelley
September 28, 2022
N-M-C-City of Cloverdale-LP-2022 Recycled Water Feasibility Study (IUP). Most recently, the maximum allowable grant award was up to $150,000. The 2022/23 draft IUP which is pending approval, proposes a maximum grant award of $500,000. A fifty percent local match is required for grants.
Feasibility studies funded by the SWRCB should adhere to the SWRCB’s Water Recycling Funding Program Guidelines recommended report outline, as follows:
• Project area
• Water supply characteristics and facilities
• Wastewater characteristics and facilities
• Treatment objectives for discharge and reuse
• Recycled water market
• Construction financing plan and revenue program
• Project alternative analysis
• Recommended project
• Appendices
This Study will be prepared to serve as the City’s backbone document in applying for a SWRCB planning grant and in positioning for future state and federal grant and low interest loan opportunities if the City chooses to move forward with a recycled water project. Other federal funding programs, like the Federal Bureau of Reclamation’s (BOR’s) Title XVI program, may require additional elements to supplement the Feasibility Study Report to meet their Feasibility Study Report requirements. The specific efforts required will depend on what federal funding sources are identified as viable options for the City and the requirements of those programs. Applying for construction grants is not included with this proposal, however, West Yost is available to provide assistance as needed.
This proposal assumes that the City will apply for a planning grant for development and preparation of the Feasibility Study. This scope includes assistance in preparing the application for the planning grant. West Yost will fast track the preparation of the planning grant application. The SWRCB will not retroactively fund costs incurred prior to an eligibility date to be established in their funding agreement. Therefore, the Feasibility Study effort will not begin until the City receives a funding agreement. Typically, it can take between 6-8 months for the SWRCB to issue an agreement for planning grants. Preparation of a planning grant is not eligible for reimbursement from the grant program. The scope and schedule reflect a pause in the proposed work effort to allow for execution of the grant agreement.

Agenda Item Title: Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) with Cloverdale Unified School District for a portion of Thyme Square.
Recommended Council Action(s): Approve Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cloverdale Approving a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) with Cloverdale Unified School District, a California School District for a 0.23 acre portion of Lot “C” (Sonoma County Assessor’s Parcel number 001- 440-049) on the Thyme Square Final Map for construction of a school bus loading and turnaround area and associated pedestrian improvements.”
________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:
On August 7, 2018, the Cloverdale Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 007-2018, approving a Tentative Parcel Map (TM 021-2018) to subdivide the 5.3-acre Thyme Square parcel into three lots as follows:
1. Lot A - 1.3 acres
2. Lot B - 2.8 acres
3. Lot C - 1.1 acres
Lot C of the Thyme Square property was designed to support future extension of Washington Street between Citrus Fair Drive and Healdsburg Avenue including adequate right-of-way for sidewalks, bike paths and onstreet parking. The Cloverdale Unified School District desires to acquire an approximately 0.23-acre portion of Lot C located in the northwest corner of the parcel to accommodate future construction of a school bus loading and turnaround area and associated pedestrian improvements in front of Washington Middle School.
The School District’s engineer developed an exhibit to depict the layout of the proposed bus turnout and associated parking (Attachment 3).
________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:
The City Attorney prepared a Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) between the City of Cloverdale and Cloverdale Unified School District to support the acquisition of the 0.23 acre property. The Parties completed an appraisal, which determined that the value of the subject property is $48,000. Furthermore, the City prepared a Lot Line Adjustment to facilitate the transfer and integration of the 0.23 acre property with the existing Cloverdale Unified School District parcel that supports the Washington Middle School.
The Cloverdale unified School District desires to close to close on the purchase of the property as soon as possible to enable them to coordinate review of improvements plans with the Division of State Architect.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement provides that the City and School District have agreed to Close on the Property, provided that Buyer and seller complete the necessary due diligence and property disclosure requirements set forth in Section 4 of the agreements attached to the resolution as Exhibit “A” (Attachment 2 and 3).

Meeting Date: October 12, 2022
Item No.: E.7
Options:
1. Deny Resolution approving the Purchase and Sale Agreement; or
2. Provide Alternative Direction

Due to time constraints, the draft Purchase and Sale agreement was brought directly to the City Council. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Budget/Financial Impact:
Execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement will enable the sale of a 0.23 acre portion of Parcel C on the Thyme Square Property to the Cloverdale Unified School District for a sales price of $48,000. The sales revenue will be directed to the Affordable Housing Fund. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Attachments:

Buyer may extend the Due Diligence Contingency Period two (2) times, each by thirty (30) days, upon written notice to Seller not less than two (2) days prior to the end of the Due Diligence Contingency Period and deposit of the additional funds required for extension, as set forth in Section 3.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may only extend the Due Diligence Contingency Period two (2) times, unless such extension is agreed to in writing by the Parties.

Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement for any reason prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Contingency Period and receive a refund of Buyer’s Deposit. Buyer hereby agrees to provide written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Contingency Period if Buyer approves or disapproves the due diligence items. Upon provision of notice of disapproval to Seller, this Agreement will terminate, and all amounts deposited by Buyer into escrow, together with interest thereon, if any, will be returned to Buyer, and neither Party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing of the approval or disapproval of all due diligence items, then after Seller gives Buyer ten (10) days’ written notice of Buyer’s failure to approve or disapprove all due diligence items, it will be conclusively presumed that Buyer has approved all such items, matters or documents.

TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND SELLER SHALL THEREUPON BE RELEASED FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT

IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTABLISH SELLER’S DAMAGE BY REASON OF BUYER’S MATERIAL DEFAULT.
ACCORDINGLY, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IF THIS AGREEMENT

Kevin Thompson, Assistant City Manager / Comm. Dev. Director Agenda Item Title: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Cloverdale designating the City of Cloverdale’s Priority Project and authorizing submittal of application to the Sonoma County Community Development Commission for fiscal Year 2022-23 Community Development Block Grant Funding for the City 1st street sidewalk ADA improvement project
Recommended Council Action: Adopt a Resolution Designating the City of Cloverdale’s Priority Project and authorizing submittal of an application to the Sonoma County Community Development Commission for fiscal year 2022-2023 Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) funding for the 1st Street Sidewalk ADA Project.
Background
The Sonoma County Community Development Commission recently released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for a CDBG, HOME, CDBG-CV and LMIHAF Funding programs (See Attachment 2). These programs provide funding for a variety of activities including affordable housing, COVID relief, ADA improvements, perseveration of rental housing, and homelessness. Staff has analyzed the NOFA and determined that applying for a CDBG project is most appropriate for Cloverdale this funding round. Staff has alerted local affordable housing and service providers about the NOFA in case they are interested in applying. The project selected for funding would complete a missing stretch of approximately 300’ of sidewalk along the south side of 1st Street near Mulberry Street. The project will support pedestrian movement from the proposed Asti Road affordable housing project. The total CDBG funding allocation for this round is $792,056, the estimate for the ADA sidewalk project is $150,000.
Previous CDBG grant funding awards are identified in Table 1 below:
Table 1 – Previous CDBG funded projects
Fiscal Year Project Funding Amount
2014-15 S. Cloverdale Blvd ADA Improvements $48,353
2015-16 S. Cloverdale Blvd ADA Improvements (Citrus Fair to S. Franklin) $120,000 2016-17 S. Cloverdale Blvd ADA Improvements (Healdsburg Ave to Tarman Dr.) $116,000 2017-18 ADA Trail improvements at 2nd Street Park $90,000 Summary
The purpose of this agenda item is to request that the City council designate a priority project for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for fiscal year 2022-2023. The City Council has previously identified the need to improve pedestrian infrastructure serving the Asti Road area in anticipation of the proposed affordable housing project. The 1st Street sidewalk ADA improvement project will assist in this objective and is eligible for CDBG funding. One of the specific objectives for Non-Housing Community Development in Sonoma County CDC’s Funding Policies is to, “Construct, renovate or install access modifications to reduce or eliminate architectural barriers to meet the special needs of persons with disabilities and the elderly in 85 accordance with the ADA in public facilities, including but not limited to public parks, restrooms, youth centers, senior centers, fire stations, libraries and community recreation facilities.” The 1st Street Sidewalk ADA Improvement project will meet the goals and objectives of the HUD approved Sonoma County Consolidated Plan for federal CDBG, HOME and ESG funding and is considered a completive project for funding.
Options
1. Approve the resolution designating the 1st Street Sidewalk ADA Improvement project as the City Council priority project and recommend authorizing submittal of a CDBG grant application to the Sonoma County CDC for fiscal year 2022-23;
2. Designate an alternative project for CDBG funding and direct staff to prepare a funding application for submittal to the CDC; or
3. Provide other direction to staff.
Budget/Financial Impact
Staff time is involved in preparing and administering the CDBG grant; however, CDBG funding does not require local matching funds. Additional local funding could be required in the future if the project cost exceeds the amount of CDBG funding.
Recommended Council Action
Approve the resolution designating the 1st Street Sidewalk ADA Improvement project as the City Council priority project and recommend authorizing submittal of a CDBG grant application to the Sonoma County Community Development Commission for fiscal year 2022-23.

Agenda Item Title:
Amendment of Title 9 of the Cloverdale Municipal Code to add chapter 9.35. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended Council Action(s):
Consider adopting an ordinance amending Title 9 of the Cloverdale Municipal Code to repeal Chapter 9.34, “Human Habitation of Vehicles and Campers”, and add Chapter 9.35, “Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Wildfire Risk Areas” and authorize staff to bring items back to council for a public hearing. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:
A principal threat to the public health, safety, and welfare is the potential destruction of, damage to, or interference with, infrastructure that is critical to the delivery of public services such as law enforcement, fire prevention, public works, parks and recreation, and utilities including communication, water, and waste disposal. Often, the destruction of, damage to, or interference with, critical infrastructure is caused by fire and contamination both of which, impede safe access for pedestrians and vehicles.
For several years the City of Cloverdale and its police department have regularly contacted individuals in the River Park area whose sole purpose is to construct encampments and occupy the city-owned public lands without lawful permits. The prolonged camping in the River Park area not permitted for such purposes has created unsanitary, unhealthy, disorderly, detrimental, and dangerous conditions that have affected the health and safety of the individuals as well as the general public. In most cases, the city-owned property is particularly sensitive to the conditions and impacts caused by public camping, particularly, in situations where an encampment is significantly large, ongoing, and situated in dense brush and vegetation.
Between January 1, 2020, and August 20, 2022, there have been one hundred, and thirty-one (131) reported fire-related responses to the River Park area. Most of the responses were vegetation fires that encompassed McCray Road, Asti Road, First Street, Geysers Road, and River Road where homeless encampments were established. These vegetation fires pose a significant threat to the individuals occupying the encampments, the community, and critical infrastructure such as the city’s water treatment plant.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Summary:
Existing camping laws, contained in Chapter 9.34 of the Cloverdale Municipal Code, are not consistent with Martin v. Boise. That case prohibited the enforcement of absolute bans on camping on public property, unless enough shelter beds are available to accommodate the entire homeless population. There are not currently enough shelter beds in Cloverdale or Sonoma County to accommodate the entire homeless population in either jurisdiction.
92 City Council/Successor Agency Agenda Item Summary
Meeting Date: October 12, 2022
Item No. G.2
Martin v. Boise did not grant individuals an unconditional right to sit, lie or sleep on the streets at any time or at any place, or prevent the City from adopting specific time, place, and manner restrictions on such activities. Title 9 is being amended to repeal Chapter 9.34 and add Chapter 9.35 to provide for the protection of critical infrastructure and wildfire risk areas by prohibiting camping in certain sensitive areas, including:
• At or near “Critical Infrastructure”;
• In a wildfire risk area (as specifically defined in the Ordinance); • Within 150 feet of the high water of the Russian River; • Within five hundred (500) feet of a well site; and
• Within 10 feet of a building entrance/exit, or a driveway or loading dock.
Critical Infrastructure is defined as real property or a facility, whether privately or publicly owned, that is so vital and integral to the operation or functioning of the City that its damage, incapacity, disruption, or destruction would have a debilitating impact on the public health, safety, or welfare. Under the Ordinance, the City Council has the authority to identify Critical Infrastructure by Resolution. At the second reading of the proposed Ordinance, the City Council will also consider a resolution identifying Critical Infrastructure.
That Resolution will identify critical infrastructure as government buildings, such as fire stations, police stations, jails, or courthouses; hospitals; structures, such as antennas, bridges, roads, train tracks, drainage systems, or levees; or systems, such as computer networks, public utilities, electrical wires, natural gas pipes, telecommunication centers, parks, or water sources. The Council will retain the authority to edit that list at any time.
The proposed ordinance would also prohibit individuals from obstructing a clear path of travel on any sidewalk, street or other right-of-way, or occupying an area greater than 10 feet by 10 feet. In addition the ordinance prohibits the dumping of graywater.
The purpose of Chapter 9.35 is to mitigate the threat of fire or other potential causes of destruction and damage to and interference with critical infrastructure, in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public, by authorizing the removal of persons and their personal property in, on or near critical infrastructure and wildfire risk areas, and as necessary to keep public rights of way clean and available for public use in a manner that preserves the dignity and safety of all residents. Violations of Chapter 9.35 can be punished criminally or with administrative fines, and the City is authorized to abate violations. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Options:
1. Adopt an ordinance amending Title 9 of the Cloverdale Municipal Code to repeal Chapter 9.34, “Human Habitation of Vehicles and Campers”, and add Chapter 9.35, “Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Wildfire Risk Areas” and authorize staff to bring items back to council for a public hearing; or
2. Provide alternative direction to staff.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Subcommittee Recommendation:
The proposal ordinance to replace Chapter 9.34 and add Chapter 9.25 was reviewed by the Homeless Community Advisory Group Subcommittee.

OF THE CLOVERDALE MUNICIPAL CODE
Protection of critical infrastructure and

7. Recommended Actions
8. Questions & Comment
City of Cloverdale City Council – October 12, 2022
103
• Staff recommends that your Council Introduce the Ordinance making proposed amendments to amending Title 9 of the Cloverdale Municipal Code to repeal Chapter 9.34, “Human Habitation of Vehicles and Campers”, and add Chapter 9.35, “Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Wildfire Risk Areas”.
• The proposed amendments balance the legal rights of unhoused individuals to have a place to sleep when there is no shelter otherwise available for those individuals with the need to regulate the growth and duration of large encampments for the overall health and safety of the community at large.
City of Cloverdale City Council – October 12, 2022 104
• The legal challenges to public camping ordinances and the solutions for legally addressing growing homeless encampments continue to evolve.
• Some jurisdictions are not enforcing camping ordinances or tying enforcement to shelter availability, while others are enacting camping ordinances that attempt to align with recent legal cases. • Staff is recommending the latter approach with the proposed ordinance before you for consideration.
By doing so, this would bring the ordinance in line with Martin v. City of Boise. • Proposed amendments provide for the protection of critical infrastructure and wildfire risk areas by prohibiting camping in certain sensitive areas, including:
• At or near “Critical Infrastructure”;
• In a wildfire risk area (as specifically defined in the Ordinance); • Within 150 feet of the high water of the Russian River; • Within five hundred (500) feet of a well site; and
• Within 10 feet of a building entrance/exit, or a driveway or loading dock.
City of Cloverdale City Council – October 12, 2022 105
• Cloverdale Municipal Code Section 9.34 generally prohibits overnight camping in any public park, or any public street or on any other public property, except in a designated public campground or by authority of a written permit.
• Generally applicable to City owned property and public property within the City • As currently written, Section 9.34.030 states:
“Camping on Public Property. It is unlawful for any person to camp in any public park, or any public street or on any other public property, except in a designated public campground or by authority of a written permit issued by the city..” • Cloverdale Municipal Code Section 9.34 specifically prohibits camping in City Parks except in a designated public campground or by for in designated areas with a permit • Since the Martin decision, the City does not enforce Chapter 9.34 unless the City has provided advance notice, opportunities for outreach and assessment, offers of adequate shelter, and storage of property prior to clearing an encampment (absent immediate health or safety concerns).
City of Cloverdale City Council – October 12, 2022 106
• The Ninth Circuit case of Martin v. City of Boise was brought by a group of homeless individuals in Boise who were cited for violating the City’s camping ordinance and disorderly conduct ordinance. Plaintiffs alleged these citations violated the Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause of the Eighth Amendment. • The Ninth Circuit’s April 2019 decision recognized that the Eighth Amendment prohibits the government from criminalizing an involuntary act or condition if it is an unavoidable consequence of being homeless. In Martin, thisrule was applied to anti-camping laws that prohibit sitting, lying, or sleeping on public land. • The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals stated its holding asfollows: “so long asthere is a greater number of homeless individuals in a jurisdiction than the number of available beds in shelters, the jurisdiction cannot prosecute homeless individuals for involuntarily sitting, lying, and sleeping in public. That is, aslong asthere is no option ofsleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize indigent, homeless people forsleeping outdoors, on public property, on the false premise they had a choice in the matter.” Martin v. City of Boise, 920 F.3d 584, 617 (9th Cir. 2019).
• The Court in Martin qualified its holding as “a narrow one” and stated, “we in no way dictate to the City that it must provide sufficient shelter for the homeless, or allow anyone who wishes to sit, lie, orsleep on the streets … at any time and at any place.” Id.
City of Cloverdale City Council – October 12, 2022 107
• As a result of the Martin decision, the City cannot criminally cite or arrest a person for a condition of homelessness (such assleeping or camping in public spaces), unless it can demonstrate the individual subject to citation or arrest wasfirst offered shelter or otherwise had alternative housing available to them. • The Martin decision outlined some general types of enforcement actions that are still legally permissible even without providing adequate shelter.
• First, individuals who decline an offer ofshelter, or reasonably have accessto or the means to acquire shelter are not shielded from enforcement.
• Second, the County may continue to enforce rules against obstruction of public rights of way (streets and sidewalks) or the erection of certain kinds ofstructures. • Third, “even where shelter is unavailable, an ordinance prohibiting sitting, lying, or sleeping outside at particular times or in particular locations might well be constitutionally permissible.” Martin at 617, fn. 8.
• The key is whether the local regulation “punishes a person for lacking the meansto live out the ‘universal and unavoidable consequences of being human’ in the way the ordinance prescribes.” Id.
City of Cloverdale City Council – October 12, 2022 108
• Eliminate local restrictions on public camping
• Prohibit enforcement of public camping ordinance unless there is sufficient shelter space is available • Impose restrictions on types of structures erected on public property or type of camping materials allowed
• Permit public camping only in specified areas
• Impose only geographic restrictions on public camping • Impose only time restrictions on public camping
• Impose both reasonable time and place restrictions on public camping City of Cloverdale City Council – October 12, 2022 109
The following is a list of the proposed amendments to bring the County’s existing camping ordinances into compliance with current law under Martin v. City of Boise while still providing the City with the necessary legal optionsto address encampments when they become a health and safety concern:
9.35.030 Prohibited Activities.
A. It is unlawful and a public nuisance for any person to camp at the following locations:
1. Critical infrastructure;
2. within fifty (50) feet of critical infrastructure;
3. within fifty (50) feet of a vehicular or pedestrian entrance or exit of critical infrastructure;
4. wildfire risk area;
5. within one hundred and fifty (150) feet of the high water mark of the waters of the state; and
6. within five hundred (500) feet of a well site.
City of Cloverdale City Council – October 12, 2022 110
(Continued)
B. No person shall camp or obstruct a street, sidewalk, or other public rights-of-way by camping, sitting, lying, or sleeping, or by storing, using, maintaining, or placing personal property:
1. In a manner that impedes pedestrian passage on any sidewalk or walkway;
2. within ten (10) feet of any driveway or loading dock; or
3. within ten (10) feet of any building entrance or exit.
C. No person shall occupy or use an area greater than ten (10) feet by ten (10) feet for storage of unattended personal property on any City-owned parcel.
City of Cloverdale City Council – October 12, 2022 111
(A)Consider adopting an ordinance amending Title 9 of the Cloverdale Municipal Code to repeal Chapter 9.34, “Human Habitation of Vehicles and Campers”, and add Chapter 9.35, “Protection of Critical Infrastructure and Wildfire Risk Areas”.

SONOMA COUNTY, CA – Sonoma County’s Black, Indigenous, Peoples of Color (BIPOC) City Elected Officials condemn the hateful speech by Los Angeles Councilmember and former President Nury Martínez, Councilmembers Kevin De León and Gil Cedillo, and former Los Angeles Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera. We are calling for their immediate resignation as councilmembers.
We are appalled at the egregious and highly offensive anti-Black, anti-indigenous, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-Asian (Koreatown) comments which are not only dehumanizing, but also unbecoming for elected officials from the most diverse city in California.
At a time when hate speech and hate crimes are at an all-time high, nationally, against communities of color, such speech is not only painful and angering, but also serves to harm the solidarity that has been built over years of shared struggle amongst our Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian brothers and sisters.
The western Hemisphere is the home of multiple indigenous groups. Every country has Indigenous and African heritage, this must be acknowledged by all. The contributions of great 117
civilizations are present in our daily life. Once we accept the roots of our people, we will be able to continue in the effort to advance as a society.
We are particularly sickened by former Los Angeles City Council President and current Councilmember Nury Martínez’s racist attack on a young, Black toddler and her racist, historic use of the word monkey to describe him.
Our Black/African American and Indigenous brothers and sisters have been in the battle for equity and justice for over 400 years in Latin America and the USA. We as LatinX cannot deny the Indigenous, African, and Asian heritage in Latin American countries, many of us share African & Indigenous blood and heritage, too.
We condemn this divisive and hateful speech and stand with our Black/African American, Afro Latin Americans, Asian, LGBTQ, and all indigenous communities in calling for the resignation of Los Angeles City Councilmembers Nury Martínez, Kevin De León, and Gil Cedillo and their acceptance of full responsibility. They are not deserving of a post as elected officials since constituents are to be respected regardless of their race, heritage, sexual orientation, or financial standing in life.
We stand united in our condemnation of these recent statements and call for resignation of the Councilmembers. We continue to work hard to build solidarity and bring healing within and throughout all our communities in furtherance of our work for a more equitable and just community for everyone.
