CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR ALTMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: MARTHA D. RICE, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: JULY 21, 2025
SUBJECT: BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT LEGAL

SERVICES
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2025-32, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Crescent City Amending the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget for the City of Crescent City
• Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign Amendment No. 5 to the Legal Services Agreement with Civica Law Group

BACKGROUND
The City entered into a contract with Civica Law Group in 2023 for code enforcement / nuisance abatement legal services. The City has been working with Civica Law Group’s managing partner Matthew Silver since 2013. Nuisance abatement using the Health & Safety Code receivership process is time-consuming and labor-intensive work. Mr. Silver and his team have become experts in the field. Civica Law Group is currently representing the City in the final stages of the receivership for 200 A Street (former A Street health clinic) and an abandoned residence on W Essex, a newly filed receivership for an occupied residence on Margie Street, a potential receivership for another occupied residence, and a building permit dispute that has turned into a lawsuit (city attorney has a conflict of interest due to the location of the subject property).

ITEM ANALYSIS
The contract with Civica Law Group provides an annual budget of $60,000, unless otherwise authorized and amended by the City Council. The current budget and contract under Amendment No. 4 authorize $135,000 for FY 24-25. We have received the final invoice for the 24-25 fiscal year, and we have exceeded that budget. Staff recommend authorizing an additional $13,000 to cover legal services through June 30. This change will require an amendment to the contract and a budget adjustment.

CODE ENFORCEMENT BUDGET
JULY 21, 2025
2 FISCAL ANALYSIS
The budget amendment increases expenses in the General Fund by $13,000 for FY 2024-25. The City will seek recovery of expenses from the parties responsible.

STRATEGIC PLAN ANALYSIS
This item is consistent with the following strategic plan goals:
• Goal 1: Support Quality Services, Community Safety, and Health to Enhance the Quality of Life and Experience of Our Resident and Visitors

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR ALTMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: JULY 21, 2025
SUBJECT: DELINQUENT SEWER-ONLY ACCOUNTS PUBLIC HEARING
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Public hearing
o Open public hearing
o Receive staff report
o Technical questions from Council
o Receive public comments
o Close public hearing
• Further discussion from Council
• City Council may revise, change, reduce, or modify any charge, or may overrule any or all objections
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2025-34, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY DETERMINING THE AMOUNT

OF DELINQUENT SEWER CHARGES FOR CERTAIN PARCELS OF

PROPERTY AND AUTHORIZING THE COLLECTION THEREOF WITH

ORDINARY PROPERTY TAXES

BACKGROUND
When the City provides sewer service to parcels of property where the property owner is responsible for the charges and such charges subsequently become delinquent, Section 5473 of the Health and Safety Code and Chapter 13.13 of the Crescent City Municipal Code provide:

1. That a written report be prepared describing the parcel where the service was rendered and stating the amount of delinquency.

2. That each property owner be notified of the time and place when a public hearing will be held to hear any and all objections and protests regarding the report as prepared. (Notice was mailed to affected property owners on July 3, Public Hearing – Delinquent Sewer Charges
July 21, 2025
2 2025 and the notice of public hearing was published in the Triplicate on July 9, 2025.)

3. That upon Council approval, the report is to be filed with the County Auditor for collection as a special assessment upon the current tax roll. The deadline for filing the report of sewer delinquencies with the County of Del Norte is August 1, 2025.

ITEM ANALYSIS
The attached report lists accounts with delinquent sewer charges, meaning the property owner owes at least two months of sewer charges. For customers with both water and sewer service provided by the City, delinquent accounts are normally handled by suspending water service. In the case of the attached accounts, the customer receives only sewer service from the City and therefore disconnection of water service is not an option. For these accounts (referred to as “Sewer Only” accounts), delinquent balances are placed on the property tax roll of the property owner once per year.

The affected property owners were mailed a notice on July 3, 2025, and a notice of this hearing was published in the Triplicate on July 9, 2025. The property owners who received notice are attached to this report. The mailed notice informed the affected property owners that they may pay the delinquent balance by 12:00 pm on the date of the public hearing to have their account removed from the list. Staff will provide an updated report at the public hearing to remove the names of any property owners who have paid their balance before noon on the day of the hearing. Property owners also have the right to attend the public hearing and make an objection to the City Council. The Council may change or reduce any of the attached charges or may overrule any or all objections.

Upon approval of the Council, the updated list of delinquent sewer charges will be sent to the County auditor to be added to the FY 2025-26 property tax roll.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The attached report shows those parcels of property which have delinquent sewer charges as of July 3, 2025. The total amount due to the City’s Sewer Fund for these accounts as of that date was $16,140.54, which if not collected will result in a loss of revenue. The amount to be included on the 2025-26 tax roll will include the sewer charges plus a 6% administrative fee.

The actual list to be sent to the County for collection will be the updated list provided at the public hearing (to remove any accounts which have paid by noon on the hearing date) plus any revisions the Council may direct staff to update at the public hearing.

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET

BACKGROUND
The Crescent City Police Department has been successful in establishing our Police Cadet Program with initial donations from various members of the community and through fundraising events. CCPD is continually looking to keep expanding the programs and provide for further opportunities for youth involved with the program. Funds from the Police Cadet program have been spent on equipment utilized during different events throughout the calendar year. One of the major events that the CCPD Cadets help out with, and which the department utilizes as a recruitment event, is the National Night Out event.

ANALYSIS
This year Chief Richard Griffin has secured a donation from the Crescent City McDonald’s in the total amount of $1200.00. This donation specifically covered the amount for renting bounce houses during the National Night Out event in Beachfront Park this year.

A budget adjustment is being requested for the donation received with an expenditure of the same amount.
