CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR GREENOUGH AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: MARTHA D. RICE, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 2022
SUBJECT: GOVERNMENT CLAIMS PROCEDURES UPDATE
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Waive full reading, read by title only and introduce Ordinance No. 834, AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING CHAPTER 1.20, CLAIMS, OF TITLE 1, GENERAL PROVISIONS,
OF THE CRESCENT CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO DELEGATE AUTHORITY
TO THE CITY MANAGER
BACKGROUND
The California Government Claims Act (Gov. Code §§ 810-996.6) establishes timelines and procedures for submitting claims for money or damages against public entities and public employees. These procedures must be followed as a prerequisite to the claimant filing a lawsuit in court. The purpose of this act is to give the public entity prompt notice of the claim so that it can investigate and resolve claims without the need for expensive litigation. It also gives the public entity some time to budget for potential liability on the horizon. Only substantial, not strict, compliance with the Act is required.
There are many types of claims that are not required to comply with the act. Those are claims for which another statute sets forth the procedures for presenting the specific type of claim and claims that are not primarily asking for money or damages as the remedy.
Public entities are authorized to adopt by charter, ordinance, or resolution mandatory procedures for filing claims against the public entities or its employees. In 2007, the City adopted an ordinance which set forth the procedures by which claims against the City or tis employees are to be presented. These procedures are set forth in CCMC Chapter
1.20. The City also expanded the requirement to include all claims for money or damages
GOVERNMENT CLAIMS PROCEDURE UPDATE
NOVEMBER 21, 2022
2 to be submitted in accordance with the procedures, regardless if there is a separate statutory procedure. Two years later, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 741, which amended the code giving the City Manager authority to settle claims for $25,000.00 or less. Although that ordinance was duly adopted, the municipal code was never updated to include that provision. However, the terms of the ordinance are still valid.
ITEM ANALYSIS
The proposed ordinance will update the municipal code to do three things:
1. Increase the City Manager’s settlement authority from $25,000 to $50,000 as allowed by Gov. Code 935.4; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to issue notice of insufficiency to claimants that fail to include the requisite information in their claim; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to deny claims that do not contain enough information to evaluate the merits after the claimant has been given notice of insufficiency and an opportunity to amend the claim.
The intent of this ordinance is to streamline the claims process and create greater efficiencies in the handling of claims.
This ordinance meeting was discussed at the last meeting. The Council directed the following changes to be made:
a. Provide that if the claim is not covered by insurance that the City Manager may approve a claim with the concurrence of legal counsel; and b. Provide that any claims approved by the City Manager shall be reported to the City Council.
If the ordinance is introduced this evening, it will be brought back for adoption at either the first meeting in December.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no fiscal impact as a result of the recommended action, except staff time and publication costs.
STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS
The recommended action supports the following Strategic Plan Goals:
GOAL 1: SUPPORT QUALITY SERVICES, COMMUNITY SAFETY, AND HEALTH TO
ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND EXPERIENCE OF OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS; and
GOAL 3: OBTAIN THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE (B) Maintain responsible fiscal management and accountability

WHEREAS, the 2009 ordinance was not codified in the CCMC and Government Code Section 935.4 has been increased to $50,000; and
WHEREAS, authorizing the City Manager to handle these claims in consultation with the City’s insurance carrier is the most efficient manner of doing so.
NOW, THERFORE, the City Council of the City of Crescent City, State of California, hereby ordains:
SECTION 1. RECITALS. The City Council finds the above recitals to be true and correct and are incorporated herein as if set forth in full.

All claims settled under this provision shall be reported to the City Council. b. The City Manager is authorized to issue notice of insufficiency of claim to any claimant in accordance with Government Code Section 910.8.
c. The City Manager is authorized to deny a claim for any amount on behalf of the City when (1) claimant has been given notice of insufficiency and opportunity to cure; (2) the claimant has failed to remedy the claim’s defects; and (3) the claim lacks sufficient information to evaluate its merit.
SECTION 3. SEVERABILITY. If any part of this Ordinance is held to be invalid or inapplicable to any situation by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision will not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or the applicability of this Ordinance to other situations.

SECTION 5. EFFECTIVE DATE & PUBLICATION. This Ordinance will become effective 30 days after the date of its adoption. The City Clerk shall cause this ordinance to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in Del Norte County once within 15 days of its adoption in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 36933.

DIRECTOR
DATE: NOVEMBER 21, 2022
SUBJECT: LIGHTHOUSE COVE RV PARK 7-DAY PASS FOR REDWOOD PARKS CONSERVANCY’S CANDLELIGHT WALK NATIONWIDE AUCTION
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Council questions for staff
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Approve giving a 7-day stay at the Lighthouse Cove RV Park to the Redwood Parks Conservancy’s Nationwide Online Auction in exchange for in-kind marketing via 1-week of visibility and recognition on the auction website and social media platforms.
BACKGROUND
Redwood Parks Conservancy (RPC) is an official nonprofit partner of the National Park Service, California State Parks, and the U.S. Forest Service. They were established to foster understanding, enjoyment and stewardship of public lands through educational outreach, visitor services and to support agencies entrusted with the care of public lands along California’s north coast. RPC operates seven park stores within state and federal visitor centers, and proceeds from sales, along with donations from individuals and foundations, are used to fund essential projects throughout redwood parks and public lands.
RPC puts on an annual Candlelight Walk through the ancient redwoods at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park as a fundraising activity for Redwood State & National Parks. This year’s event will be held on December 5th and will be accompanied by an online, nationwide auction featuring items from local businesses throughout the North Coast.
ITEM ANALYSIS
Lighthouse Cove RV Park 7-Day Pass
November 21, 2022
2 The City of Crescent City has been invited by RPC to participate in the online auction by providing a 7-day stay at the Lighthouse Cove RV Park. In exchange for offering the pass, the City would receive in-kind marketing through exposure on the auction’s website and social media platforms. With this being a nationwide auction, it will serve as an opportunity to reach a broader audience for potential guests of the Lighthouse Cove RV Park and the City as a whole. The pass would exclude the dates around the 4th of July holiday, which would be June 30th – July 9th. All other holidays will be available.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no significant fiscal impact to providing this pass. The value of the pass is $280 for a premium bayfront space and would be offset by the value of exposure the City would receive in return.
STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT
GOAL 2: PROMOTE A THRIVING LOCAL ECONOMY
• Research and implement methods to increase local tourism and funding for tourism promotion
F. Plan and prepare for the growth and future needs of the Crescent City community by:
• Supporting community partners whenever and wherever possible in their vitalization efforts
• Engaging with residents, visitors, and businesses through ongoing marketing of City products, services, and facilities
GOAL 3: OBTAIN THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE • Maintain responsible fiscal management and accountability

The Mayor also makes appointments to boards, commissions, and committees, with Council approval, and signs all documents that require an official signature unless the City Manager has been authorized to sign such documents.
The selection of Mayor is traditionally chosen first with the Mayor Pro Tempore being chosen second. Staff suggest the following nomination / selection procedure:
1. Nominations for Mayor: Any member of the Council may nominate any sitting councilmember to serve as Mayor. Said nominated councilmember shall either accept or decline the nomination. Once all nominations have been made, the then presiding Mayor shall announce that nominations are closed and the names of those councilmembers that have accepted their nomination.
2. Appointment of Mayor: Any member of the Council may then make a motion to appoint any one of the nominees as Mayor. Standard motion procedures apply (see below).
3. Nominations for Mayor Pro Tempore: Any member of the Council may nominate any sitting councilmember to serve as Mayor Pro Tempore except the member chosen to serve as Mayor. Said nominated councilmember shall either accept or decline the nomination. Once all nominations have been made, the then presiding Mayor shall announce that nominations are closed and the names of those councilmembers that have accepted their nomination.
4. Appointment of Mayor Pro Tempore: Any member of the Council may then make a motion to appoint any one of the nominees as Mayor Pro Tempore. Standard motion procedures apply (see below).
➢ Standard Motion Procedures: Rosenberg Rules of Order state that there can be up to three motions on the floor, simultaneously. The rules of order are as follows:
When there are two or three motions on the floor (after motions and seconds) at the same time, the vote should proceed first on the last motion that is made. After discussion and debate, a vote would be taken on the third motion. If this motion passed, no vote would be taken on the first or second motions.
