CIty Manager Wier gave a PowerPoint Presentation starting off with the Year in Review. City Manager Wier went over Measure S and what the funds have been used for. Chief Carey explained the need of new SCBAs and that they would only be in City Fire vehicles. Council Member Schellong stated that the amount for Fire Captains seemed really high; City Manager Wier explained that it is the cost of those positions, but it is not fully funded by the City. Mayor Pro Tem Inscore stated he is afraid of the firefighters being put at risk since the current SCBAs are almost out of compliance; Chief Carey assured that firefighters are safe because they have been certified and are operationally ready to go. Chief Carey explained the five-year plan and further explained that there is also a need for new turnouts as the fire department is not allowed to have any that are older than 10 years old; it would be $50k a year to have 10 or 11 a year and can stop after 5 years. Council Member Schellong asked if there are 50 SCBAs but only 24 being used; Chief Carey stated it would be 23 on each side (District and City). Chief Carey reported to the Council that there will be the need for a new apparatus. The Department is looking for a First Response vehicle and it is being proposed to put away $90k for two years to be able to purchase one for $180k. There are grants available to help with the expense. Mayor Wright asked why the choice of a Dodge Ram would be chosen; Chief Carey stated that a Dodge would last longer than a Ford. City Manager Wier went over what Measure S Funds are covering for the Police Department. Chief Griffin went over the choice to have a third K9. He stated that Lt. Kai has two more years left of service. The purchase of the K9 will be covered by a grant. Council Member Schellong asked about the volunteer K9 programs; Chief Griffin stated that program is separate from the CCPD K9s as the volunteer K9s are not deployed on patrol, they are cadaver/rescue dogs. The funding for that program is separate from the patrol K9s. He further reported on the recent successful fundraiser for the volunteer K9s. Chief Griffin went over some other expenses that are associated with the K9 program. He also explained the other reasons behind what has been requested of CCPD for Measure S funding. City Manager Wier went over the needs for streets for Measure S funds. Director Yeager went over the patching machines that are needed and what they are used for. He went into detail of some of the upcoming project plans with the machine and discussions were held in regards to CalTrans funding and how it is being acquired.
City Manager Wier reported to the Council the funding needs the Pool has for Measure S funds.
Director Yeager explained the needs of the locker room and updating the floors to ensure there is a slope to help with the pooled water along with making sure there is traction in the floor.
Council Member Schellong asked where we were with the HVAC; City Manager Wier stated that it is hoped that design will be done by June. At the end of this week, himself and Director Yeager will be meeting with the contractor to discuss details. City Manager Wier went over the Fiscal Responsibility portion of Measure S funds. City Manager Wier went over in detail the Measure S revenue and expense summary.

Chief Griffin outlined the staffing needs of the Police Department. City Manager Wier explained the staffing needs for the IT Department with the IT Administrator’s pending retirement. Finance Director Leaver reported to the Council and public the Pers unfunded Liability and that it will be paid off in 2043.
Director Leaver then explained the coverage that the City receives from Golden State Risk Management Authority. She stated that all of the City’s costs have increased and it’s across all City funds. Council Member Schellong asked if the City has sought out other insurance; Director Leaver stated that we could, however this rise has been industry wide and GSRMA has been a really good partner for the City; we also get RMAP funding of $50k a year.
Director Leaver went over the General Fund details. The largest revenues for the General Fund are sales tax, Measure S, and TOT; Director Leaver explained that the sales tax proposed is $2,135,000; Measure S is $2,300,000; and TOT is $1,739,546. City Manager Wier gave a presentation on the Marketing Plan and Budget for FY 23-24 and how the City has been working with Lynnette Braillard with LuLish Marketing.

City Manager Wier went over in detail the grants and the projects associated with them. Council Member Greenough asked if the Tobacco Grant can be for another two years; Chief Griffin stated that he thinks it’s a good chance that the City will get it again. Council Member Schellong asked if the City is moving forward with the issue of tobacco, will that make our grant application more appealing for approval; Chief Griffin stated that it has been modified and was one of the reasons why they were successful last year in obtaining the funding.
Director Leaver went over the General Fund projection and that the budget proposed tonight would keep the City above the 25% reserve. Director Leaver went over the ongoing expenses and that it’s important to keep 10 – 20 years down the road in the forefront of thought for the budget. For the 10 year projection, Director Leaver stated that it is best practice to budget conservatively. She further stated that actual expenses come in under budget due to unfilled positions, benefits not used, utilities and other expenses under budget, projects not completed, etc. Over the last five years, the total budget to actual savings was 12% of the budget.
City Manager Wier went over what is not included in the budget: debt service for City Hall ($200- $250k?), additional part-time Parks Maintenance Workers ($22k each), Mason Mall fountain – will have to be redesigned and refurbishing needs to be done – estimated at $40k; the Cultural Center staining ($60k a side), Phase 2 of the Cultural Center Feasibility Study ($205k), Tri-Agency funding ($30k), other economic development projects and other one-time projects. Tri-Agency – Mayor Pro Tem Inscore went over the Tri-Agency debt and feels they should be given a second chance. He recommends having a budget line item for Tri-Agency/Economic Development.
Council Member Greenough is in support of putting the $30k aside. Council Member Schellong stated that when she was on the Board the “lender of last resort” was a requirement. Is in support of Tri-Agency and the tool it has been for the community. In full favor of funding Tri-Agency. Would like to see where it goes before the City fully invests; is in support of setting aside the $30k. 4 | P a g e
5/9/23 COUNCIL MINUTES
Council Member Altman spoke in opposition to the Tri-Agency and feels it is a bailout. Council Member Greenough stated that the Tri-Agency has a bad reputation because they haven’t done in a long time. He is only in support of the $30k set aside with the contingency that there is no more bad loans. Is not in support of “lender of last resort”; Mayor Wright agrees with not having “lender of last resort” and would not support the $30k set aside. Council Member Greenough asked if a motion would be required to have Tri-Agency listed as a line-item in the budget. City Manager Wier stated that it would be helpful to make a motion. City Manager Wier stated he cannot pinpoint a successful project that the Tri-Agency has had.
Council Member Schellong asked if the debt service for a new City Hall would be this fiscal year.
Mayor Pro Tem Inscore asked when the Water Fund loan would be paid; Director Leaver stated it would be this year; Mayor Wright asked if we didn’t stain the Cultural Center; Public Works Maintenance Manager Wylie explained that the product that was used was not good quality and didn’t last. Council Member Schellong asked how much the Monument Fund had in it; Director Leaver stated that she believed it would be $18k; Council Member Schellong asked for Council consensus to have funds available in the Veterans Monument on the next agenda; consensus received. Mayor Pro Tem Inscore stated that we need to make the decision to either replace the Memorial Fountain back, then the sign needs to be taken down. If it can’t be a fountain, it needs to be mounted somewhere. Council Member Schellong is in support of restoring the fountain and returning it to the plaza. Mayor Wright is not in support of having the fountain returned to Mason Mall. City Manager Wier stated that if something was done to invigorate the area, it may improve the current conditions of the space. Council Member Greenough asked if grant funding can be used for the upkeep and maintenance of the Cultural Center; City Manager Wier stated it would not be available for grant funding. Partnerships, however, could help with the funding.
Council Member Greenough would like funding for the Mason Mall fountain, Tri-Agency funding earmarked as Economic Development funding to eventually go into Tri-Agency; Cultural Center staining. Council Member Schellong was in favor of getting a quote for one side versus three. Is in favor of the new City Hall and thinks the City should act now.
The Council was in consensus moving forward with City Hall; and will continue the discussion on Thursday.

Insurance update – Director Leaver reported to the Council that GSRMA has significantly raised the annual cost for coverage. The new estimate is $360k increase.
Mayor Wright stated that rates are going up across the country and at last night’s GSRMA’s meeting, it was discussed that they were taking on more liability. Council Member Schellong asked if local insurance companies would have the capacity to have insurance coverage for government agencies? Both City Manager Wier and Director Leaver were not sure. City Manager Wier advised the Council that if they wanted to give direction to seek insurance elsewhere they could, however putting out an RFP for that would be very difficult. Director Leaver stated that the final number will be in June; presently, some of the information GSRMA had was incorrect, therefore they will be giving another estimate once the errors are changed. Mayor Pro Tem Inscore suggested reaching out to other comparable cities as well as League of California Cities

Redwood Empire Division Representative Sara Sanders to see who they use; Director Leaver stated she has reached out to other Finance Directors to ask the question about coverage and if their rates had also been raised as much.
Director Leaver went over the funding for the new City Hall and how the debt service would work. City Manager Wier went over the following items that are not currently included in the budget presented:
Debt service for City Hall ($200k - $250k?)
Additional part time Parks Maintenance Workers ($22k each) Mason Mall fountain $40k to revitalize and reinstall it Cultural Center staining $85k for all four sides – west side 23k, east 20k, south 12k, north 30k
Phase 2 of Cultural Center Feasibility Study $205k
Tri-Agency funding $30k
Public Works Maintenance Manager Wylie explained how having more Public Works Maintenance Workers would help the department. City Manager Wier explained what will be done to have the fountain back in place to include possibly having the epoxy like what is proposed for the pool locker room to cover the concrete. Council Member Greenough asked if the fountain could be installed and then cover the concrete; Director Yeager stated it could be done. City Manager Wier showed some design concepts for the fountain area and is outlined within the EDSAP. Cultural Center siding prices have changed since Tuesday night after Director Yeager spoke to a local contractor that was able to bring the costs down. Other items that are not included in the budget are additional Beachfront Park funding, dispatch, other economic development projects and other one-time projects. Mayor Wright said with insurance and labor negotiations, he does not feel comfortable with adding any of the not included items into the budget.
Council Member Schellong wanted additional parks worker, fountain, and information on debt service for City Hall. Would like to take out the $10k for the airport and put it in next year’s budget. Would like the worst side of the Cultural Center done. City Manager Wier stated the side that is the worst is the west side, which faces Kid Town. Finance Director Leaver stated that when we discuss equipment later, the purchase of PW trucks can be held off on as they have very large prices. Council Member Schellong suggested getting one now, and one in September when budget to actuals are known; City Manager Wier stated that the budget to actuals would be that much difference.
City Manager Wier stated regarding the Cultural Center Study – if the Parks commit to the plan, the cost could be cut in half. Mayor Wright would be in support of City Hall and the new trucks. The Council was in consensus to move forward with the debt service for City Hall. Council Member Greenough would like to add Tri-Agency and the fountain.
Council Members Schellong and Greenough would like the fountain done once the budget actuals are known. Inscore: City Hall, Tri-Agency, worst side of the Cultural Center, would like to allocate $5k for the fountain so it can be displayed. Feasibility study to be done at mid-year.
The Council was in consensus; for City Hall, fountain reinstallation, west side of Cultural Center. For the funding for Tri-Agency, Council Member Greenough was in favor, Mayor Pro Tem Inscore was in favor, Council Member Schellong was in favor but wanted a plan to be drafted first, then funded, Mayor Wright was in favor, but wants it to have a specific line item, Council Member Altman dissented and did not supporting TriAgency since so much money had been lost already. 3 | P a g e
5/11/23 COUNCIL MINUTES
Mayor Wright asked what the time table was for Tri-Agency to use the money? How long is it expected to sit in a bank account? $30k can be used well elsewhere. Mayor Inscore stated that October is when everything is finalized.
Discussion on the additional public works worker was held at length; the Council was in consensus to hold off on hiring at this time; they would like to see an evaluation done of the Mason Mall area to determine a greater use for the space. Mayor Pro Tem Inscore asked if E3 workers could be used in Public Works; Maintenance Manager Wylie stated that unfortunately there are too many limitations for them to help in his department a great deal. HR Manager Gonzales explained how the 22 workers from Workability will be coming to the City and will be helping in the Parks. There is flexibility in this group for what the City can do with them.
Regarding the RV Park, Mayor Pro Tem Inscore would like rates to be reviewed for an increase. The apartment at the RV Park could garner good revenue if used as an AirBnB. Council Member Schellong stated that raising rates during events as other cities do is something she’d like to see considered. City Manager Wier went over the new website for the RV Park as well as what is included in the budget. What is not included in the budget: road/drainage improvements $225k regrading/eliminating gutter design, $410k road paving, restrooms - $184k. Director Yeager went over the current conditions of the restrooms and that they need to be updated. Mayor Pro Tem Inscore stated that we cannot raise the rates until the bathrooms are taken care of. Council Member Greenough asked for the toilets that are currently not up to code be fixed.
Director Leaver went over the Sewer Fund and explained it is impacted by the timing of the capital improvement projects. She reported that a rate increase hasn’t happened since 2015. For the Sewer Fund – we are working with the State to fund an updated rate study and applying for grant funding that would reduce CIP funding. CIP anticipated to be completed this fiscal year are: mem pulse, RBC valve, C water meter, MBR lighting, chem room lighting, chlorine analyzers, laser alignment, contributions to the equipment fund for new equipment. Mayor Pro Tem Inscore suggested putting a CPI into the rate structure.
Director Leaver went over the Water Fund explaining that without a rate increase, the budget goes into the red. There are some important CIPs that will not be able to be done because we don’t have the revenue to cover it. For FY 23/24, the budget includes an adjustment to the Amador Tank project to transfer $433,418 previously budget CIP back into working capital as there are other needs for those funds. It has been decided that a debt service will be needed to fund the next phase of capital improvement projects. By FY 2028, there will not be enough revenues to cover our operating expenses. She explained the Water Fund – Working Capital vs. Recommended Reserve and showed through the years it has been a lot of ups and downs. However, by 2027, the budget will be in the red as the working capital will be decreasing in her four to five year forecast. What can be done about this is a rate study; staff has been working with RCAC on a rate study and it’s nearing completion, a rate study will assume new debt service for capital projects, and the correct projection does not incorporate new rates and will be brought back to the Council when the study is finalized. She detailed what is being included in the budget – the reallocation of some public works time to install remote-read meters, existing CIP to be carried over and some new CIP. 4 | P a g e
5/11/23 COUNCIL MINUTES
Council Member Schellong asked for an update on the revenue from Pelican Bay State Prison; City Manager Wier stated that they are included in the rate model. Mayor Pro Tem Inscore asked what the $76k for the elevated tank was for; City Manager Wier explained it is a roll-over from past years and once the surge tank is installed, the $76k is what would be used toward the removal of the tank. Mayor Pro Tem Inscore asked when construction would be complete; City Manager Wier stated he anticipated it would be done the following year. Council Member Greenough asked how the tank was powered, City Manager Wier explained it was done by hydraulics. Council Member Greenough asked about a situation in where there was an extended power outage; City Manager Wier explained there is a plan to put generator on site, it’s just not critical as it will run itself.
Director Leaver reported on the Internal Service Funds which are funds that provide services to other City departments such as Information Technology, Building Maintenance, Equipment Maintenance, and Property & Liability Insurance.

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 BUDGET OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY
City Manager Wier reported to the Council the details of the bids and the funding sources. He detailed the project overview as well as what has already been done. Tidewater Contractors was the lower bidder and selected for this project. Due to the multiple funding sources with different requirements, some of the funding is available now and some will be available after the NEPA document is completed (anticipated July 13, 2023). The CRRSA/STIP funding has an additional complication in that it cannot be applied to a project that has been put out to bid prior to the NEPA document and approval from CTC. Therefore, staff recommends dividing the project into phases to match the funding source requirements. The funding sources available now are as follows:
Measure S - $516,233; ARPA funding - $516,233; General Fund - $767,534; and Local Transportation Commission - $400,000. Funding sources anticipated after NEPA document:
Community Project Grant (Senator Huffman) $750,000; and DNLTC / CRRSSA – TIP - $200,000.
The funding that must be bid after NEPA document and CTC approval is DNLTC / CRRSSA – STIP - $315,063. Council Member Schellong asked if the funding from Senator Huffman was for a specific section of Front Street; City Manager Wier stated that yes, it was allocated for Front Street. City Manager Wier stated that should the Council approve this tonight, construction will start after the 4th of July to be completed by December 2023.
The following resident addressed the Council:
Ernie Perry: stressed the importance of having Front Street completely done.
Council Member Schellong asked if Measure S is funding this project, why wait until July for construction; City Manager Wier explained that in order to get the $750k from Senator Huffman, we need to wait for the NEPA document. Council Member Altman asked for clarification of what needs to be approved tonight; City Manager Wier stated the first four funding items – Measure S $516,233, ARPA $516,233, City General Fund $767,534, and LTCo $400k. And to allocate the Senator Huffman funding (Community Project Grant) $750k once NEPA and CRRSSA TIP $200k once the NEPA document is received and $315,063 of CRRSSA STIP funding once CTC approval is obtained. Council Member Altman asked about the time and materials status; City Manager Wier stated it has stayed the same.
On a motion by Council Member Schellong, seconded by Council Member Altman, and carried on a 3-0 polled vote with Council Member Greenough and Mayor Pro Tem Inscore being absent, the City Council of the City of Crescent City approved “Front Street Improvements G to I Streets” construction documents, reaffirmed staff’s CEQA determination that the project is categorically exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1, approved and authorized the City Manager to sign a construction contract with Tidewater Contractors for the construction of Front Street G to I, and approved and adopted Resolution No. 2023-34, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23

City Manager Wier reported to the Council that he met with Ernie Perry who was the Community Development Director for the County when Return of the Jedi was being filmed. There is photographic proof that Del Norte is the real Endor as the filming shows them flying into the Jed Smith River area. He further thanked Public Works Maintenance Manager Jason Wylie for all of his work on the Forest Moon Festival.
Regarding the CRISSA funds, it is being discussed at a State level and that we were in jeopardy to lose those funds. The City has applied to convert ours to State funds and we are waiting to see if that has been approved.
Public Works Director Yeager gave an update to the Council on upcoming City projects.

BACKGROUND
The current Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the CECC will expire June 30, 2023. The City’s negotiating team made up of City Manager Eric Wier, City Attorney Martha Rice, Finance Director Linda Leaver, and HR Manager Sunny Valero has met with the CECC on several occasions and exchanged information, proposals, and counter-proposals. The parties have reached a tentative agreement.
ANALYSIS
The proposed Memorandum of Understanding that has been tentatively agreed to with the CECC contains the following notable provisions:
1. Pursuant to the result of a Side Letter Agreement to evaluate positions within the CECC, three positions have been reclassified: (1) Public Works Office Technician will be reclassed as the Community Development Specialist resulting in a two-step pay increase (10%); (2) the Fire Dept. Administrative Assistant will be reclassed as the Fire Department Administrative Specialist resulting in a one-step pay increase (5%); and (3) the full-time Police Records Clerk will be reclassed as the Executive Assistant to the Chief of Police, also resulting in a one-step pay increase of 5%.
2. All bargaining unit members will receive a 4.0% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) effective the first full pay period in July 2023; and a COLA equal to CPI-U (LA) March 2024 over March 2023 (not less than 1% nor more than 4%) effective the first full pay period in July 2024.
JUNE 20, 2023
CECC MOU
2 3. CECC members currently receive longevity pay of 5% at 10 years, 2.5% at 15 years and
2.5% at 20 years. This MOU breaks up the 5% at 10 years into 2.5% at 5 years and
2.5% at 10 years.
4. CECC members that have or obtain an AA/AS (or higher) in a job-related field will get a
3.5% special pay.

The additional cost for the COLA in FY 24-25, will be between $4,300 (1%) and $17,200 (4%).
STRATEGIC PLAN
This action supports the following Strategic Plan goals:
GOALS 3: Obtain the highest levels of organizational excellence; C. Maximize performance and value in all City Council, staff, volunteer and committee positions; and E. Recruit and retain highly qualified employees.

10.2 Deferred Compensation.

In all cases covered by the Family Medical Leave Act, the City shall provide leave in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
In the event of an extended leave of absence, with or without pay, of twenty (20) work days or more, accruals will temporarily stop until the employee returns to work. Upon the employee’s return to work, accruals will be restarted at the same rate that the employee was entitled to before taking the leave, based on his or her length of service.

Use of any accrued leave must be taken in the following order:
1) Compensatory time off;
2) Floating holidays;
3) Vacation

An employee must have used at least forty (40) hours of vacation in the previous twelve (12) month period.
13.2 Sick Leave.

13.2.1. Accrual Schedule. All employees, except part-time, temporary and seasonal employees, will be eligible for accrual of sick leave effective from their date of hire.

The employee may be required to file a physician’s or dentist’s statement, or a personal affidavit with Human Resources stating the cause of absence before such leave with pay will be granted.

Sick leave applies to absences during pregnancy that are caused by illness due to pregnancy or the attending physician’s order that the employee is unable to work due to the pregnancy. All situations involving pregnancy disability will be addressed in accordance with the provisions of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and current state Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) laws. A female employee, filling a regular Council approved position shall be entitled to a total of four (4) months leave of absence (with and/or without pay) due to pregnancy disability as determined by a qualified medical provider.

Employees who violate or misuse the sick leave provisions may be required to provide a physician’s report for each day off when sick leave is requested, and upon further misuse, the employee may be disciplined. Examples may include but are not limited to instances involving patterned absences or utilizing sick leave for reasons other than illness, medical condition, or medical/dental appointments.
13.2.5. Employees returning from sick leave with restrictions must accept light duty when offered. Failure to do so will be considered a voluntary quit and employment will be terminated.
CECC MOU 2023-2025 [13]
13.2.6. An eligible employee may take sick leave in the event of a serious illness or medical condition for a member of the employee’s immediate family.

13.2.8. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary transfer of any employee within the City, the employee’s leave credits will also be transferred in their full amount.
13.2.9. The City has entered into an agreement with the PERS whereby accumulated sick leave is converted to additional service credit upon retirement.

Use of sick leave hours from this time bank will be by approval of such procedures as are mutually agreed upon by the CECC and the City Manager. b. Total sick leave bank accruals deposited may not exceed 960 hours available at any time.
c. In the event the employee reaches the maximum vacation accrual, no further accruals or conversion may occur.
13.3 Occupational Medical Leave. An employee who is receiving temporary disability indemnity under applicable Workers’ Compensation provisions of the California Labor Code, may choose to take as much of his or her available sick leave or vacation leave in such amounts that when added to the temporary disability payment, the employee will receive an amount equal to his or her full salary or wage. Such supplemental payments may continue until all accrued balances are exhausted or the employee returns to work. Such payments will not be continued beyond the date of termination of employment whether voluntary or involuntary.

13.3.1. In all cases covered by the Family Medical Leave Act, the City will provide leave in accordance with the requirements of the Act.

The duration of the unpaid medical leave of absence will depend upon the nature and extent of the employee’s disability or incapacity to perform the essential functions of the job position, but in no event will a medical leave be granted for longer than one year, measured from the time the employee is unable to work in his or her regular job position.
13.3.4. Leave may be terminated by the City Manager when he or she determines to his or her satisfaction that the employee is permanently disabled and unable to perform the duties of the class. Such determination may be considered pursuant to the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law: “disability” means the inability of a employee to perform the duties of the job for a permanent or extended and uncertain duration, as determined on the basis of a competent medical opinion. Disability is not necessarily an inability to perform every function of a given position. Rather, the determination of whether the employee can substantially perform his or her usual duties.
13.3.5. In all situations of Occupational Medical Leave, employees must comply with the City’s Work Related Injury or Illness Return-To-Work Policy.
13.4 Parenting Leave.

In the event that an employee does not meet the eligibility requirements for FMLA or CFRA, an unpaid leave of absence may be approved by the employee’s Department Head and the City Manager. Use of sick leave may not be taken for parenting leave purposes.
The City will make available forty (40) hours of paid leave in lieu of not participating in Employment Development Department (EDD) programs that may have provided Paid Family Leave for parenting leave purposes.

The employee must provide to their Department Head a copy of the summons, notice, or subpoena directing the employee to appear in court. On a day an employee reports for jury duty CECC MOU 2023-2025 [15]
and learns that services are not needed that day, the employee must return to work for the balance of the regular work shift.
13.7 Military Leave. The City will provide military leave as required by California State Law.
13.8 Leave of Absence Without Pay.

13.8.5. The employee will not accrue any benefits, nor will City pay for any benefits during such approved leave of absence without pay.
13.9 Unauthorized Absence – Automatic Termination. An employee absent for more than three (3) working days without prior permission of the Department Head may be considered to have automatically terminated employment with the City. Such termination will be final and without right or appeal or hearing unless said employee furnishes reasons satisfactory to the Department Head and City Manager for not having obtained prior permission.
13.10 Return to Work Requirements. At least one (1) week prior to the expiration of the approved leave of absence, with or without pay, the employee must notify the Department Head of the employee’s intention to return to work. Upon the expiration of an approved leave, the employee shall return to work on the next following regular work day. Failure to return to work will be considered a voluntary resignation on the part of the employee unless prior approval is obtained from the employee’s Department Head and Human Resources.
13.11 Determination of Continuous Service. The length of an employee’s service will be considered continuous while the employee is on an approved leave of absence, with or without pay, and if the employee returns to work on the required return to work day.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: KEVIN CAREY, FIRE CHIEF
MARTHA D. RICE, CITY ATTORNEY
LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: JUNE 20, 2023
SUBJECT: WAGES, BENEFITS, & OTHER EMPLOYMENT TERMS AND
CONDITIONS FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT CAREER FIRE CAPTAINS
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2023-43 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY ESTABLISHING WAGES,
BENEFITS AND OTHER TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT FOR THE
UNREPRESENTED POSITION OF CAREER FIRE CAPTAIN EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2023
BACKGROUND
In October 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-69, Establishing Wages, Benefits and Other Terms of Employment for the Unrepresented Position of Fire Captain in anticipation of recruiting and hiring three full-time paid Fire Captains for Crescent City Fire & Rescue. The recruitment was held and three applicants were interviewed for the positions. Unfortunately, the City could not make any employment offers until staff received assurance from Cal PERS that all wages and benefits were set up correctly to become part of the Cal PERS system. The City has now received confirmation of Cal PERS eligibility and has hired three Fire Captains who are scheduled to begin service on June 18th.
Until such time as the Fire Captains form an employee association, these positions remain an unrepresented classification. Resolution No. 2022-69 was modeled after the City’s only other safety group, the Crescent City Police Officers’ Association (CCPOA).
ITEM ANALYSIS
The MOUs with the City’s employee associations are set to expire June 30. The CCPOA MOU was approved at the June 5th Council Meeting and commences on July 1. The
CAREER FIRE CAPTAINS RESOLUTION
JUNE 20, 2023
2 revisions to the Fire Captains resolution will match several of the changes included in the CCPOA updated MOU, including the following:
• Wages will increase by 4% (cost-of-living adjustment) effective July 2023 • Longevity of 2.5% will be given at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years of full-time continuous service with the City
The following clarifications were also made:
• Holiday pay is PERS reportable so long as it meets PERS regulations • Long-term disability insurance coverage death benefit is for dependents, not employees
• Vacation/sick leave are earned at the end of the pay period and cannot be used before they are earned
• Definition of “family member” for bereavement leave updated and added two additional unpaid workdays to leave, both per Gov. Code 12945.2 The effective date of the resolution will be July 1, 2023.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The City and Crescent Fire Protection District will share the costs associated with these positions, as outlined in both the 10-Year Master Plan and the Memorandum of Agreement between the two agencies. Wages and benefits costs for all full-time positions (Fire Chief, Administrative Assistant, and Career Captains) are shared equally between the City and the District. They are employees of the City, and the City performs all administrative functions (human resources, payroll, benefits, etc.) and then bills the Fire District for its share of the actual costs plus an administrative overhead fee.
The 4% COLA has been included in the FY 23-24 budget.
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
(A) Enhance collaboration with other agencies and the community to better aid the public
(C) Empower and utilize Police, Fire, and Public Works departments to make Crescent City one of the safest cities in the United States (D) Provide and maintain an efficient, adequate infrastructure to provide for both current and future community needs
CAREER FIRE CAPTAINS RESOLUTION
JUNE 20, 2023
3 GOAL 3: OBTAIN THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE (C) Maximize performance and value in all City Council, staff, volunteer and committee positions
(D) Seek methods to create efficiencies and add additional value without compromising safety or performance

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: KEVIN CAREY, FIRE CHIEF
MARTHA D. RICE, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: JUNE 20, 2023
SUBJECT: AMENDED EMERGENCY AND FIRE SERVICES AGREEMENT
WITH THE CRESCENT FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT (2023)
RECOMMENDATION
• Approve An Agreement Between the City of Crescent City and the Crescent Fire Protection District Regarding Emergency and Fire Response Services Amended (2023)
BACKGROUND
The City of Crescent City and the Crescent Fire Protection District have a long history of working together under various collaborative agreements. In 2015, both agencies came together through an operational merger of their respective volunteer firefighter associations and entered into a joint exercise of powers agreement, the Emergency and Fire Response Services Agreement (the “Agreement”). This partnership provides cost effective and seamless services to the greater Crescent City area. The Agreement provides for the sharing of costs between the two agencies for a variety of services, including personnel and equipment shared costs. The Agreement was last amended in May of 2022.
In September 2018, the City of Crescent City and the Crescent Fire Protection District began a joint project path for a 10-Year Financial Master Plan for Crescent City Fire & Rescue. The point of the Master Plan was to identify the fire department’s current and projected fire and emergency service needs and identify the costs associated with delivering these services over a 10-year period. The City of Crescent City and the Crescent Fire Protection District each adopted the final draft of the 10-Year Fire Department Master Plan at a joint meeting of the agencies on November 21, 2019.
ITEM ANALYSIS
AMENDED FIRE SERVICES AGREEMENT
JUNE 20, 2023
2 The only change in the proposed amended Agreement is a new section regarding volunteer stipend overages and associated cost share (Section 6.01 and 10.02(i)). Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), volunteer firefighters are allowed to receive a nominal stipend, reimbursement of expenses, and group benefits without losing their status as volunteers. To be considered a “nominal” fee, stipends must be limited to 20% of the cost of a career firefighter. Based upon an analysis done in May of 2022, the District and the City adopted new stipend amounts and a monthly stipend cap.
In this past fiscal year, we have had several volunteers reach the stipend cap, more than anticipated. This is due to several reasons: a handful of volunteers have responded to a large number of calls within a single month, battalion chiefs were short on numbers for a couple of months, and there were only a limited number of volunteers eligible to perform airport duty, which concentrated those shifts to certain volunteers.
While discussing various issues of concern with volunteers, an idea was floated to track this stipend overage amount and put it into a volunteer firefighter support fund. This arrangement would keep the “overage” amounts in the Fire Department to be used for expenses directly supporting volunteer service, such as training, uniforms, or equipment.
This proposal has received the support of the Fire 2x2 Committee.
The overage amount will be calculated using actual overage amounts in the preceding calendar year. This way, the City and District will know how much to budget for in the upcoming fiscal year. This means that in the first year (FY 23-24) there will only be six months of stipend overages, because the new stipends and cap went into effect July 1, 2022. The stipend overage amount will be shared equally by the City and the District.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The adopted FY 23-24 Budget includes the calendar year 2022 actual stipend overage amount of $8,000, of which 50% will be reimbursed by the Crescent Fire Protection District.
STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS
This 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
Goal 3(C): Maximize performance and value in all City Council, staff, volunteer and committee positions

response support (food and water). These costs are referred to as “full cost of service for volunteers.” The District will compensate the City as provided in Section 10 below for these services. In the event that a volunteer firefighter is injured on the job and files a worker’s compensation claim, the parties will share any additional expenses associated with the claim equally.
6.01 Stipend Overages. Volunteer firefighters are subject to a monthly cap on the dollar amount of stipends that they can receive for their call response and shift coverages. This is necessary to maintain their “volunteer” status under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Each fiscal year, an amount equal to the stipend overages for previous calendar year will be put into a separate fund for volunteer firefighter support. The purpose of this fund is for expenditures that directly support volunteers and their service, including, but not limited to uniforms, equipment, training, and fire station amenities.
7.0 EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES. The City will purchase firefighter turnouts, equipment and supplies costing less than $5,000. The District will compensate the City in the manner set forth in Section 10.

The District will compensate the City on a time and materials basis for maintenance services as provided in Section 10.
9.0 FIRE STATION BUILDINGS. The City owns one fire station and the District owns three fire stations / garages. The parties will continue to own separate buildings and be responsible for the costs of improving, maintaining and insuring said buildings without right of contribution from the other party. The parties will maintain their respective facilities as necessary for the performance of the obligations set forth in this Agreement.
10.0 COMPENSATION TO CITY. The District will compensate the City on a percentage basis for the various categories of service that are contained within this Agreement.
10.01 Response Basis. The Response Basis is District’s percentage share of total District and City calls for service in a calendar year. Each fiscal year, the percentage will be adjusted according to the previous calendar year’s numbers. Therefore, the
EMERGENCY & FIRE RESPONSE AGREEMENT
(AMENDED 2023) P a g e | 7
District’s percentage share in FY 22-23 will be based on the District’s percentage of total calls for service in CY 2021. The percentage share will be adjusted for each new fiscal year. The District will pay the City on a Response Basis for the following services:
a. Full cost of service for volunteers
b. Fuel for vehicles and equipment
10.02 Equal Share Basis. The District will compensate the City on an Equal Share Basis (50%) for the costs of the following services:
a. Full cost of service for personnel (Fire Chief, Administrative Assistant, Captains)
b. Office supplies for fire stations
c. Parts and supplies for equipment
d. Fire turnouts and equipment costing $5,000 or less
e. Miscellaneous pre-employment expenses (medical exam; drug screen; fingerprinting, etc.)
f. Emergency scene support (water, food)
g. Worker’s compensation premiums for volunteers
h. Volunteer training and education
i. Volunteer firefighter stipend overages
10.03 Fire Station Utilities. The City and the District directly benefit from the shared utilization of two fire stations: City Station at 520 “I” Street and the District’s Washington Station at 255 W. Washington Blvd.
a. Utility Cost Allocation. The Parties agree to the following division of utility costs:
STATION CITY SHARE DISTRICT SHARE
City Station 60% 40%
Washington Station 40% 60%
b. Utilities Included. Utility costs to be shared include services for gas, electricity, water, sewer, internet and data, telephone. c. Quarterly Invoice Credit. Using the fiscal year budgeted expenses for utilities by the District, the City will credit one-fourth of its annual share (40%) of the Washington Station utilities to each quarterly invoice to the District as provided in Section 11.01. For example, the City’s share based on FY 22 budgeted expenses would be approximately $5,400; thus, the City would apply a credit of $1,350 to each quarterly invoice.
10.04 Time and Materials Basis. The City will provide certain services to the District that the District will pay for on a time and materials basis. The time will be based
EMERGENCY & FIRE RESPONSE AGREEMENT
(AMENDED 2023) P a g e | 8
on the hourly wage for the employee(s) that provided service and the cost of materials. Those services are as follows:
a. Fire response vehicle maintenance, hourly shop labor rate $43.90 b. Information technology services
10.05 Administration Fee. The City will be carrying the administrative burden for the services provided under this Agreement. To mitigate the financial impact of the increased administrative burden to the City, the District will pay an administration fee equal to 7.0 % of the total compensation due as set forth in Sections 10.01,
10.02 and 10.03 on a quarterly basis.
11.0 BILLING AND PAYMENT.

11.03 Payment Due. Payment is due and payable within 30 days of the date of invoice.
If payment is not received when due, it will be considered delinquent. If the invoiced party disputes any amount billed on the invoice, the party must pay the undisputed portion of the bill. The parties, through their Designated Representatives, agree to work in good faith to resolve any billing disputes within 30 days.
11.04 Annual Reconciliation. After the close of each fiscal year, each party will provide the other party with a final reconciliation showing the amount due or overpaid by the other party. Any amount determined to be owing under this paragraph is due to the other party within 30 days of notification.
12.0 INSPECTION OF RECORDS. Upon five (5) business days’ advance written notice, and during regular business hours, the City and District each have the right, at their own respective cost and expense, to inspect the financial and other records of the other party pertaining to this Agreement, including books of accounts related to the Fire Department and other activities for which the party is being charged. City and District will have access to such records through their own respective designated representatives.
13.0 AUTOMATIC RESPONSE AND MUTUAL AID. The City and District agree to respond to calls for service on a basis that is designed to provide the quickest response time within the boundaries of either agency without regard for the location of the political boundaries of the agencies. The parties will develop an appropriate protocol and system of
EMERGENCY & FIRE RESPONSE AGREEMENT
(AMENDED 2023) P a g e | 9
response to requests for fire protection and other emergency services occurring within the jurisdiction of either party. Said protocol must include first and second due response districts, incident command of incidents and operations, and cover-ins and appropriate stations. The Fire Chief is responsible for developing and updating maps, grid systems and such other means as are necessary to enable the partier to carry out the mutual intent of the parties to respond to all emergencies with those units that are able to respond in the most expedient manner possible, regardless of location.
14.0 INSURANCE. Each party must maintain during the term of this Agreement, a policy of general liability insurance with minimum limits of One Million Dollars per occurrence and Two Million Dollars aggregate. All polices obtained by either party must name the other party as an additional insured but only with respect to the claims for personal injuries or property damages arising out of the performance of the Agreement. All policies must provide that the coverage provided in the policy may not be cancelled or amended without first providing 30 days written notice to the other party.
15.0 ADMINISTRATION OF AGREEMENT.
15.01 Designated Representatives. The City designates the City Manager and the Fire Chief to represent the City on all matters pertaining the administration of this Agreement. The District designates the Chair of the Board, and the Vice Chair in his or her absence, to represent the District on all matters pertaining to the administration of this Agreement.
15.02 Joint Meeting. The City Council and the District Board agree to meet in joint session at least once per year to discuss the provision of services under this Agreement and the anticipated costs for the succeeding fiscal year.

DATE: JUNE 20, 2023
SUBJECT: SAFETY COMMITTEE STIPENDS BUDGET AMENDMENT
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2023-45, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 BUDGET OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY
BACKGROUND
Several years ago the City officially established the Safety/Wellness Committee. The Committee’s adopted mission statement and purpose are as follows:
Mission:
“The mission of the City of Crescent City Safety Wellness Committee is to develop and promote a healthy and safe environment for all employees through the involvement of all individuals with regards to education, communication, and safe work practices. To support and educate employees to improve their overall health and well-being by working to provide opportunities for employees to develop healthier lifestyles.” Committee Purpose:
“To bring workers and management together in non-adversarial, cooperative effort to promote safety and health, and to assist in making continuous improvement to the City of Crescent City safety and health programs.”
The Safety Committee is comprised of 8 City employees from various departments and responsibility levels. Ideally (depending on staffing) the committee would include representatives from each facility, department, and bargaining unit; as well as the Human Resources Manager, Field Safety Officer, and one Department Head. Members serve a staggered 2-year term; excluding the Human Resources Manager and Field Safety Officer who are permanent members of the committee. The committee also elects officers to the position of Chairperson, Recorder, Inspection Coordinator.
Safety Committee Stipend
June 20, 2023
2 ITEM ANALYSIS
Since its inception, the Safety/Wellness Committee has been an invaluable part of the City organization and the Council’s commitment to developing and maintaining organizational excellence. The committee’s duties include, but are not limited to, the following:
✓ Identify unsafe work practices and conditions and suggest appropriate remedies. ✓ Conduct health and safety inspection of both operations and facilities, identify safety hazards and recommend corrective measures.
✓ Perform and review accident/incident reports, including types of accidents, causes, and trends that are identified; and suggest appropriate corrective action. ✓ Obtain and analyze available data on past injuries, and illnesses, and identify trends and suggest appropriate corrective actions.
✓ Assist in the development and implementation of effective health and safety awareness programs.
✓ Encourage feedback from all individuals regarding health and safety related ideas, problems, solutions, and to promote participation in the City’s Safety & Wellness program.
✓ Provide support and serve as a resource in the development, implementation, and maintenance of a comprehensive safety and loss control program. ✓ Educate employees on positive, long-term lifestyle changes, and act as a support system for the improvement of employee’s overall health and well-being.
The committee meets monthly to discuss safety incidents, concerns, and other safety related issues, as well as completes annual facility inspections of all the City’s facilities.
This includes the Water and Sewer related facilities outside of the City Limits. These duties are above and beyond the employees’ regular job duties and can be quite significant at times.
To encourage membership and recognize the hard work of the employees on the Safety Committee, staff is proposing to implement an annual stipend for the committee members. As not all positions have the same responsibilities or workload, the committee has proposed the following annual stipends:
Chairperson (1 Position) $900
Recorder (1 Position) $700
Inspection Coordinator (2 Positions) $650
General Member (4 Positions) $500
Safety Committee Stipend
June 20, 2023
3 If approved, this stipend would be paid out annually at the end of the fiscal year, beginning with FY 2023-24. To be eligible for the stipend, committee members must attend at least 80% of the meetings and participate in at least 8 facility inspections annually.
There is no doubt that having a dedicated Safety Committee, a Field Safety Officer, and the Human Resources Manager committed to creating a culture of safety, is a major reason why the City has received full accreditation of excellence from GSRMA for the last 5 years.
During that time period, the City has received more than $250,000 in RMAP awards and has implemented numerous liability reducing projects. These projects included cybersecurity upgrades, sidewalk trip hazard reduction, hazardous tree removal, Police and Fire wellness applications, and Police personal protective equipment; just to name a few.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The total annual safety stipend budget requested for FY23/24 is $4,900. Staff is requesting this be allocated from the Insurance Fund which has been awarded funding from Golden State Risk Management Authority’s (GSRMA) Risk Management Accreditation Program (RMAP). The City will be receiving approximately $66,000 for this year’s RMAP award.
STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT
GOAL 1: Support quality services, community safety, and health to enhance the quality of life and experience of our residents and visitors.
GOALS 3: Obtain the highest levels of organizational excellence; C. Maximize performance and value in all City Council, staff, volunteer and committee positions; and E. Recruit and retain highly qualified employees.

AGREEMENT AND VOLUNTEER RV PARK CAMP HOST ELIGIBILITY
CRITERIA
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2023-46, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY APPROVING A STANDARD
VOLUNTEER RV PARK CAMP HOST AGREEMENT AND VOLUNTEER RV
PARK CAMP HOST ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Over the last few years, City staff have been utilizing qualified candidates for the volunteer position as camp host at Lighthouse Cove RV Park. The City utilizes a combination of paid staff (full-time RV Park Supervisor and part-time Campground Attendant, under the supervision of the Economic Development and Recreation Director) and volunteer camp hosts to keep the park operational and successful. Camp hosts provide additional necessary assistance to patrons during after hours, and assist in the office to ensure the RV park can be open 7 days a week.
Responsibilities of volunteer camp hosts include the following:
• Logging in guests
• Collecting fees for space rentals,
• Locking and unlocking facilities as necessary,
• Reporting incidents to City Staff or Police Department as appropriate, • Notifying City staff of damages or need for repairs
• Cleaning restrooms and showers and stocking them with toilet paper and hand
2 soap
• Cleaning and maintaining laundry room
• Mowing grass and removing litter from RV sites
• Emptying trash receptacles
• Performing routine maintenance
All camp hosts must complete an interview process, pass a drug test, pass a fingerprint background check and have a current driver’s license and insured recreational vehicle in good working condition. This process can take from 3 weeks to well over a month. Once a potential camp host has met these eligibility requirements, the camp host volunteer agreement is signed by the volunteer and the City Manager.
Previously, the City Council approved a standard volunteer camp host agreement by way of Resolution 2020-47 and revised that agreement by way of Resolution 2020-78, that delegated authority to the City Manager to sign those agreements. This was to avoid unnecessary delays in bringing qualified individual camp host agreements to the Council for approval and delaying the onboarding process. Due to recent Camp Host performance, staff have made recommended revisions to the standard agreement. The intention of the revisions is to have clear expectations of Camp Hosts when they enter into the agreement with the City and to outline potential consequences when aspects of the agreement are not upheld.
City staff is asking City Council to adopt the revised standard agreement, volunteer eligibility criteria, and to continue to give the authority to the City Manager to sign those agreements. City staff is also asking City Council to give the authority to the City Attorney to be able to make revisions, as needed so that we avoid unnecessary onboarding delays.
This Resolution, 2023-46 will supersede Resolutions 2020-47 and 2020-78.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
This process would reduce staff hours necessary to secure future camp hosts.

• Give direction to staff on additions or modifications to the Draft Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance
BACKGROUND
According to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), “[i]n the last decade, fewer than half of the homes needed to keep up with the population growth were built. Additionally, new homes were often constructed away from job-rich areas. This lack of housing is impacting affordability and causing average housing costs, particularly for renters, to rise significantly.”
Over the past several years, the State of California has been attempting to combat this “housing crisis” with mandates on local governments to allow certain types of housing and development, e.g., density bonus law, SB 9 lot splits, emergency shelters, SB 6 housing developments, junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) and accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
The State ADU law was amended in 2019 (implemented January 1, 2020) to require local jurisdictions to approve accessory dwelling units in residential zones if they meet certain specified criteria. The law has since been amended 8 times, including some significant revisions that required the re-writing of local ADU ordinances which were once considered compliant.
Per State ADU law, ADUs must be allowed in all zones where residential uses are allowed either principally or conditionally. Additionally, state law requires that applications for ADU
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ORDINANCE
JUNE 20, 2023
2 permits be processed within 60 days and that they not require a discretionary review or public hearing.
ITEM ANALYSIS
ADUs, by law, are considered both a residential and an accessory use to a residential use consistent with the General Plan land use designations covering the affected zoning districts. The current affected non-coastal zoning districts are: Low Density Residential (R-1), Moderate Density Residential (R-2), High Density Residential (R-3), ResidentialProfessional (R-P), Downtown Business District (C-1), General Commercial (C-2), Commercial Waterfront (CW), Commercial Manufacturing (C-M). This ordinance does not apply to the Coastal Zone. The Coastal Act supersedes the State ADU laws. Local jurisdictions are, however, encouraged to develop local regulations consistent with both the ADU law and the Coastal Act for the development of ADUs in the Coastal Zone. In order to do that, the City will need to amend the Local Coastal Plan (LCP) and have it reviewed and approved by the California Coastal Commission.
The majority of the draft Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance contains mandatory provisions. The Statewide Exemption ADUs must be allowed even without an ordinance if they comply with State law. City Council has very limited amount of discretion when determining regulations for ADUs even when it approves a local ordinance. The areas worthy of discussion for which the City Council does have discretion are outlined below:

5 MULTI-FAMILY EXEMPTION ADU – DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
There are two types of statewide exemptions for ADUs built with a multi-family dwelling as the primary dwelling. For purposes of the ADU law, multi-family means two or more attached dwelling units.
Conversion (Type 3) – existing multi-family dwellings are allowed at least one and up to 25% of the existing units to be created within the existing multifamily dwelling structure in spaces that are not currently utilized as livable space, such as basements, storage rooms, garages, and attics.
Detached (Type 4) – existing and proposed multi-family dwellings are allowed 2 detached ADUs per lot with a maximum height of 18 feet and rear and side yard setbacks of 4 feet.
Both types of ADUs must be rented out for terms of 31 days or longer.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS PER LOT
A lot with an existing or proposed single-family dwelling may have no more than:
• One JADU; and
• One non-exempt ADU; or
• One Exempt ADU Type 1 (conversion) and One Exempt ADU Type 2 (detached); or
• One Statewide Exemption ADU Type 1, one Statewide Exemption ADU Type 2, and one non-exempt ADU if the non-exempt ADU was built before either Statewide Exemption ADU
A lot with an existing or proposed multi-family dwelling may have no more than:
• Exempt ADU Type 3 (conversion); and
• Exempt ADU Type 4 (detached).
NON-COMPLIANT ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
• ADUs built or created prior to January 1, 2018 without a use permit o Must obtain an ADU permit post-construction by way of inspection o Only required to correct violations if it is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or the occupants of the unit or if the building is deemed substandard
• ADUs built or created after January 1, 2018 without a use permit o Must obtain an ADU permit post-construction by way of inspection
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT ORDINANCE
JUNE 20, 2023
6 o Correction of all applicable Building Codes and health and safety regulations is required
o Property owner may apply for and receive a variance from the Planning Commission if the PC finds that all feasible measures were implemented and health and safety will not be compromised
• Non-compliant ADUS that do not obtain either a pot-construction permit or a variance from the Planning Commission are subject to nuisance abatement proceedings.
• Any property owner issued a notice to correct a violation or abate a nuisance for failure to meet ADU development standards for an ADU developed prior to January 11, 2020 may request a five-year delay in enforcement and the City must grant the request if the City determines that the violation does not compromise health or safety.
• No applications for delay in enforcement will be accepted on or after January 1, 2030.
The bold underlined text in the draft ordinance are clarifications that have been made since the Planning Commission meeting in May.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The implementation of an accessory dwelling unit ordinance will cost staff time and the costs of publishing notice in the newspaper. The construction of additional dwelling units will generate additional building permit revenue. If the units are used for vacation rentals, then the General Fund would receive a corresponding increase in transient occupancy tax.
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 2: PROMOTE A THRIVING ECONOMY (F) Plan and Prepare for the growth and future needs of the Crescent City community

1. A new construction, non-manufactured, detached ADU; or
2. An attached ADU constructed with the construction of a new single-family dwelling.
D. Minimum Size. All ADUs must be at least 150 square feet.
E. Fire Sprinklers. No ADU will be required to install fire sprinklers in the ADU unless they are required of the primary dwelling. The construction of an ADU does not trigger the requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in an existing primary dwelling.
F. Septic. If a proposed ADU is planned to use an onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS), then prior to issuance of the building permit, the applicant must submit certification from the Del Norte County Health Department stating that the existing OWTS is of adequate size and condition to support projected sewage flow for both the primary dwelling and the proposed ADU. If the capacity or condition of the existing OWTS is found to be inadequate to serve the existing dwelling and the proposed ADU, then the OWTS must be replaced or upgraded to meet current standards, at the sole expense of the applicant. A percolation test completed within the last five years, or if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years, may be required.
G. Public Improvements. ADUs are exempt from any requirement to make street and/or sidewalk improvements.
H. Nonconforming Conditions. The issuance of a permit to create an ADU may not be denied due to existing nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures that do not present a threat to public health and safety and that are not affected by the construction of the accessory dwelling unit.
I. Parking. There will be no off-street parking requirements for ADUs. If existing off-street parking is lost due to the conversion of an existing garage or carport, then replacement off-street parking is not required.
J. Permanent Foundations. All ADUs must have a permanent foundation. A recreational vehicle, commercial coach, trailer, motor home, camper, camping trailer, or boat cannot be used as an ADU.
K. SB 9 Lot Split. If a property owner in a single-family residential zone obtains approval of a lot split pursuant to Senate Bill 9, any existing or proposed ADU or JADU shall count toward the maximum of two units allowed on each lot resulting from the lot split. The ADU must remain with the primary dwelling.

Such ADUs must be inspected by the City Building Official for compliance with Building Code standards and all applicable health and safety regulations. As a condition of obtaining a post-construction permit, the City may require the correction of violations only if, in the opinion of the Building Official, it is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or the occupants or if the building is deemed substandard pursuant to Section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety Code.
2. ADUs built or created after January 1, 2018, but before the effective date of this chapter, without a use permit, are required to obtain an ADU permit post-construction. Such ADUs must be inspected by the City Building Official for compliance with the Building Code, this Chapter, and all applicable health and safety regulations. As a condition of obtaining a post-construction permit, the ADU owner must make any necessary modifications to comply with those with those requirements.
3. ADUs built or created after January 1, 2018, but before the effective date of this chapter, that cannot meet all the development standards of this Chapter may be granted a variance per Chapter 17.56, if the Planning Commission finds that all feasible measures were implemented, and health and safety will not be compromised.
B. Enforcement Proceedings. ADUs described in paragraph A for which an ADU permit is not obtained post-construction nor is an exception by way of a variance obtained from the Planning Commission, will be subject to nuisance abatement proceedings and all other legal remedies available to the City.
C. Notice of Right to Request a Delay in Enforcement. In any notice to correct a violation or abate a nuisance based upon the failure of an ADU to meet development standards as described in paragraph A, the City must notify the owner that they have a right to request a delay in enforcement if the ADU was constructed prior to January 1, 2020.
D. Request to Delay Enforcement. The owner of the ADU may request that enforcement of the violation be delayed for five years on the basis that the correcting violation is not necessary to

protect health and safety. This request shall be made in writing and in the manner prescribed by the City.
E. Granting a Request for Delay in Enforcement. Requests to delay enforcement will be granted only if the City determines that correcting the violation is not necessary to protect health and safety. In making this determination the City staff shall consult with the Building Official and the Fire Chief regarding health and safety concerns.
F. Deadline for Approving Requests. No applications for a delay in enforcement may be approved on or after January 1, 2030. Any delay that was approved prior to January 1, 2030, however, will be valid for the full term of the delay that was approved at the time of the initial approval of the application.

The ordinance shall do all of the following:
(A) Designate areas within the jurisdiction of the local agency where accessory dwelling units may be permitted. The designation of areas may be based on the adequacy of water and sewer services and the impact of accessory dwelling units on traffic flow and public safety. A local agency that does not provide water or sewer services shall consult with the local water or sewer service provider regarding the adequacy of water and sewer services before designating an area where accessory dwelling units may be permitted. (B) (i) Impose objective standards on accessory dwelling units that include, but are not limited to, parking, height, setback, landscape, architectural review, maximum size of a unit, and standards that prevent adverse impacts on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. These standards shall not include requirements on minimum lot size.
(ii) Notwithstanding clause (i), a local agency may reduce or eliminate parking requirements for any accessory dwelling unit located within its jurisdiction. (C) Provide that accessory dwelling units do not exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which the accessory dwelling unit is located, and that accessory dwelling units are a residential use that is consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designation for the lot. (D) Require the accessory dwelling units to comply with all of the following:
(i) Except as provided in Section 65852.26, the accessory dwelling unit may be rented separate from the primary residence, but may not be sold or otherwise conveyed separate from the primary residence. (ii) The lot is zoned to allow single-family or multifamily dwelling residential use and includes a proposed or existing dwelling.
(iii) The accessory dwelling unit is either attached to, or located within, the proposed or existing primary dwelling, including attached garages, storage areas or similar uses, or an accessory structure or detached from the proposed or existing primary dwelling and located on the same lot as the proposed or existing primary dwelling, including detached garages.
(iv) If there is an existing primary dwelling, the total floor area of an attached accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed 50 percent of the existing primary dwelling. (v) The total floor area for a detached accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed 1,200 square feet. (vi) No passageway shall be required in conjunction with the construction of an accessory dwelling unit.

(viii) Local building code requirements that apply to detached dwellings, except that the construction of an accessory dwelling unit shall not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations), unless the building official or enforcement agency of the local agency makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the accessory dwelling unit could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this clause shall be interpreted to prevent a local agency from changing the occupancy code of a space that was unhabitable space or was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use pursuant to this section. (ix) Approval by the local health officer where a private sewage disposal system is being used, if required. (x) (I) Parking requirements for accessory dwelling units shall not exceed one parking space per accessory dwelling unit or per bedroom, whichever is less. These spaces may be provided as tandem parking on a driveway.
(II) Offstreet parking shall be permitted in setback areas in locations determined by the local agency or through tandem parking, unless specific findings are made that parking in setback areas or tandem parking is not feasible based upon specific site or regional topographical or fire and life safety conditions. (III) This clause shall not apply to an accessory dwelling unit that is described in subdivision (d). (xi) When a garage, carport, or covered parking structure is demolished in conjunction with the construction of an accessory dwelling unit or converted to an accessory dwelling unit, the local agency shall not require that those offstreet parking spaces be replaced. (xii) Accessory dwelling units shall not be required to provide fire sprinklers if they are not required for the primary residence. The construction of an accessory dwelling unit shall not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling. (2) The ordinance shall not be considered in the application of any local ordinance, policy, or program to limit residential growth.
(3) (A) A permit application for an accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory dwelling unit shall be considered and approved ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing, notwithstanding Section 65901 or 65906 or any local ordinance regulating the issuance of variances or special use permits. The permitting agency shall either approve or deny the application to create or serve an accessory dwelling unit or a junior accessory dwelling unit within 60 days from the date the permitting agency receives a completed application if there is an existing singlefamily or multifamily dwelling on the lot.

If the applicant requests a delay, the 60-day time period shall be tolled for the period of the delay. If the local agency has not approved or denied the completed application within 60 days, the application shall be deemed approved. A local agency may charge a fee to reimburse it for costs incurred to implement this paragraph, including the costs of adopting or amending any ordinance that provides for the creation of an accessory dwelling unit.
(B) If a permitting agency denies an application for an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit pursuant to subparagraph (A), the permitting agency shall, within the time period described in subparagraph (A), return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied by the applicant.

(10) An accessory dwelling unit that conforms to this subdivision shall be deemed to be an accessory use or an accessory building and shall not be considered to exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which it is located, and shall be deemed to be a residential use that is consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designations for the lot. The accessory dwelling unit shall not be considered in the application of any local ordinance, policy, or program to limit residential growth.

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=65852.22&lawCode=GOV 2/2 (c) (1) An application for a permit pursuant to this section shall, notwithstanding Section 65901 or 65906 or any local ordinance regulating the issuance of variances or special use permits, be considered ministerially, without discretionary review or a hearing. The permitting agency shall either approve or deny the application to create or serve a junior accessory dwelling unit within 60 days from the date the local agency receives a completed application if there is an existing single-family dwelling on the lot. If the permit application to create or serve a junior accessory dwelling unit is submitted with a permit application to create or serve a new single-family dwelling on the lot, the permitting agency may delay approving or denying the permit application for the junior accessory dwelling unit until the permitting agency approves or denies the permit application to create or serve the new single-family dwelling, but the application to create or serve the junior accessory dwelling unit shall still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing. If the applicant requests a delay, the 60-day time period shall be tolled for the period of the delay. A local agency may charge a fee to reimburse the local agency for costs incurred in connection with the issuance of a permit pursuant to this section. (2) If a permitting agency denies an application for a junior accessory dwelling unit pursuant to paragraph (1), the permitting agency shall, within the time period described in paragraph (1), return in writing a full set of comments to the applicant with a list of items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied by the applicant.
(d) A local agency shall not deny an application for a permit to create a junior accessory dwelling unit pursuant to this section due to the correction of nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures that do not present a threat to public health and safety and that are not affected by the construction of the junior accessory dwelling unit.
(e) For purposes of any fire or life protection ordinance or regulation, a junior accessory dwelling unit shall not be considered a separate or new dwelling unit. This section shall not be construed to prohibit a city, county, city and county, or other local public entity from adopting an ordinance or regulation relating to fire and life protection requirements within a single-family residence that contains a junior accessory dwelling unit so long as the ordinance or regulation applies uniformly to all single-family residences within the zone regardless of whether the single-family residence includes a junior accessory dwelling unit or not. (f) For purposes of providing service for water, sewer, or power, including a connection fee, a junior accessory dwelling unit shall not be considered a separate or new dwelling unit. (g) This section shall not be construed to prohibit a local agency from adopting an ordinance or regulation related to a service or a connection fee for water, sewer, or power, that applies to a single-family residence that contains a junior accessory dwelling unit, so long as that ordinance or regulation applies uniformly to all single-family residences regardless of whether the single-family residence includes a junior accessory dwelling unit. (h) If a local agency has not adopted a local ordinance pursuant to this section, the local agency shall ministerially approve a permit to construct a junior accessory dwelling unit that satisfies the requirements set forth in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (e) of Section 65852.2 and the requirements of this section. (i) For purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings:
(1) “Junior accessory dwelling unit” means a unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size and contained entirely within a single-family residence. A junior accessory dwelling unit may include separate sanitation facilities, or may share sanitation facilities with the existing structure. (2) “Local agency” means a city, county, or city and county, whether general law or chartered. (3) “Permitting agency” means any entity that is involved in the review of a permit for an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit and for which there is no substitute, including, but not limited to, applicable planning departments, building departments, utilities, and special districts.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 20, 2023
SUBJECT: PUBLIC SAFETY DISPATCH AND ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICE
AGREEMENT AD HOC COMMITTEE
______________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Appoint two Council Members to serve on a Public Safety Dispatch/Animal Control Agreement ad hoc committee
BACKGROUND
The County has reached out to the City requesting two members of the Council meet to discuss and evaluate the City / County service agreements for Public Safety Dispatch and Animal Control Services.
ANALYSIS
An ad hoc committee can be appointed to serve for a specific purpose / limited duration.
This is different from a standing committee which has purview over any topics that may come up within a specific area (RV Park, Cultural Center, Fire Dept). This ad hoc committee would be solely focused on discussing the Public Safety Dispatch and Animal Control Services agreements. Unlike standing committees, ad hoc committees are not subject to the Brown Act.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no financial impact to serve on an ad hoc committee.
AD HOC COMMITTEE
