Shafer stated that water drains into the garage and drains out from under it.
Councilmember Fawaz asked about the relevance of drainage problems and the use permit application. Shafer shared that the health department may not be fond of water running through a restaurant or bar. The basement is being used to store alcohol and he is concerned if the building were to catch on fire, another concern is the inconsistency with the liquor license with the Etna Brewery and the Council turning a blind eye.

Chief Short requested 3 that the funds from the sale of vehicles go either into a replacement fund or be used to put back into other vehicles. Clerk Eastlick mentioned going through Bid-Cal to auction them off. Director Arrwood pointed out that she has been using one of the vehicles on the surplus list and uses it to attend meetings, trainings, she is on call 24/7, and she’d like to continue using the vehicle. Chief Short recommended doing a department transfer for that vehicle. Councilmember Deppen suggested doing an interagency transfer with the vehicle and have the department heads workout the value of the vehicle. Clerk Eastlick commented on the insurance costs for all the vehicles, and using the vehicles for personal use.
Councilmember Fawaz recommended declaring the vehicles as surplus and then detennining which avenue to take to get rid of them. More discussion regarding vehicles and whether declaring a vehicle surplus can be brought back if decided not to sell it. City Attorney Jared stated it could. The City Council went through the vehicle list again.
Councilmember Gilmore made a motion to surplus all vehicles on the list other than the Crown Vic that Director Arrwood uses, the two interceptors, and allow Clint and Josh a month to determine if they can sell to the best buyer. Clerk Eastlick asked about a timeframe for the sales to be made. Fawaz suggested until December and is hesitant because some of the vehicles are still reliable and can possibly be used by the Fire Department. More discussion.
Councilmember Fawaz modified Councilmember Gilmore’s motion to state that “c, d, f, g and h” will be declared surplus, the expedition and one Crown Vic. Chief Short is recommended that the two 2021 Chargers go to the College of the Siskiyous, but if that does not work out then they will be sold using another avenue. The Council agreed.

D. Draft Open Space & Conservation Element Update (2024) Purpose of the Workshop
The City of Etna is updating the City’s General Plan using a combination of SB 2 Planning Grant Program (SB 2 PGP) and Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grants. As part of the update, staff is soliciting feedback from the City Council and public on key issues of community importance in order to better define and refine the City’s long-term planning goals. At this workshop, staff is looking for input on issues of open space and conservation to assist with completion of the draft Open Space & Conservation Element.
What is a General Plan, and what is the Open Space & Conservation Element? General plans are policy documents that address seven topics of community importance. These are land use, housing, circulation, noise, safety, open space, and conservation. Each topic is typically treated to its own chapter, or element, of the general plan, however, general plans may be “adopted in any format deemed appropriate or convenient by the legislative body, including the combining of elements" (Government Code Sec. 65301). Given the strong interrelationship between open space and conservation issues, the City has chosen to combine discussion of these items into a single Open Space & Conservation Element.
Open Space & Conservation Issues
Open space elements address those areas that are required for the preservation of natural resources, managed production of resources, outdoor recreation, maintenance of public health and safety, military installation mission support, and protection of tribal cultural resources. Conservation elements address the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, including water and its hydraulic force, forests, soils, rivers and other waters, harbors, fisheries, wildlife, minerals, and other natural resources. Conservation elements also consider the effect of development within the jurisdiction, as described in the land use element, on natural resources located on public lands, including military installations; and they identify rivers, creeks, streams, flood corridors, riparian habitats, and land that may accommodate floodwater for purposes of groundwater recharge and stormwater management.
In accordance with subsections (e) and (f) of Government Code Section 65302, the City’s combined Open Space and Conservation Element must address the open space and conservations issues identified above “to the extent that the subject of the element exists in the planning area.” Because not 1 of 3
all issues are germane to Etna, they are not addressed by the City’s draft Open Space & Conservation Element other than to note their absence from the planning area.
Prior Community Feedback on Open Space and Conservation Issues As part of the City’s efforts to gather input for the General Plan update, a survey was presented to the community between March 8, 2024, and May 24. 2024. At the close of the survey response period, a total of 93 completed surveys were received. Those surveyed were asked their opinions on a host of topics, including open space and conservation. Survey responses are summarized below and are included as Attachment A.
Open Space
One survey question asked whether Etna’s parks and recreation facilities are adequate for the needs of the community. The question received a total of 91 responses. The responses, number of responses, and responses as a percentage of the total are shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1, Adequacy of Park and Recreation Facilities

Same as the above answer; it’s character.
The small town feel and the old buildings
Our small town charm. People wave and smile! We have so many wonderful assets that think really contribute to a happy and health community.
Farm land around the town, access to nature, etc. 1 think significant and purposeful steps need to be taken to ensure we don't end up with the drug issues and homeless population that Yreka has succumbed to.
Western theme, small town vibe, historic homes and structures.

If there is something you would like to see not covered in the last question about the types of recreation facilities, could you please share your thoughts here?
20. 1. Also year around pool
Pickleball Courts
1 think they all would be beneficial
Maybe a maintained restricted camp area only for pet hikers Mountain bike trails
Community fitness center order workout equipment would be awesome. Improvements to existing parks and more parks and walking/running trails would be amazing.
Adult workout spot at the park
Indoor pool, senior center
More access to Green spaces, in the valley, such as River access, and hiking trails, and places to get outside and really enjoy the nature and Wildlife that surround and come into the valley.
Community soccer field so the high school doesn't have to hold their games at the Junior high Skate park for the kids.
Skate Park. Youth game and movie nights.
& youth facility / little league park / pleasure park cleaned up The city should buy the little park next to the hardware store! Public gym! YMCA, etc. indoor exercise options especially for winter/extreme weather.
A multi purpose building to hold classes that's energy efficient.
Parks and recreation can always be Improved.
As these options are funded by the general fund. While grants like OGALS are an attainable reality, the maintenance costs are not without local tax a measure. My "None" answer above is related to this concern. Without feasibility studies and voter support, any new recreation facilities would take much needed funding from roads and police.
The question above should be multiple choice. I’d love to see more outdoor trails as well as a youth facility Walking, running, and horseback riding trails. Nice lighted tennis/pickleball courts.
It would be nice to have more put into our park, upgraded playground equipment.

We need parks that can accommodate children/adults with disabilities. Such as wheelchair bound individuals.
I'd like an indoor recreation center because of weather.
Why can't we pick more than one? Walking/ running trails and a health fitness center would be great! Development of the park to include pickleball, amphitheater, and support of the PAL program in creating a safe place for our youth to go. i.e. skatepark, youth center, and indoor athletic facilities.
More trade-school oriented learning opportunities
Both senior center and covered swimming pool/heated/heated swimming pool, access to gyms that could help with fitness during cold winter months
Senior and youth center.
Event center or large meeting area sort of like the big banquet room in bobs miss the band and dance night A fitness center or somewhere to work out
Small skate park
Maintain the existing, like the tennis court.
Fix up the Little Lot again so it’s attractive to visitors.
Dog Park
In addition to a youth facility, it would be nice to have a covered pool and additional walking and running trails. But Etna is perfect the way it is too!
Skate/Bike park
I wish the last question from a checkbox :-) I think we are really lacking senior center. I also think it would be wonderful to connect the seniors to the youth. They have so much knowledge and skills they could share. I would love to see the pool covered and utilized year round as well.
Sprinkler park on main Street with a neutral color design, and a main street park where things actually happen, like music or performances, to bring money directly to businesses and give people a reason to "hang out" and enjoy main street.
People need to spill out onto main street and socialize and spend money. Our city park is beautiful, but it is too far from downtown to have the benefit I am talking about. The Bluegrass Festival having Friday night on Main Street, for example, creates opportunities for everyone.
think our community does a great job at being creative with what we already have in place. A community center for multiple events could be helpful.
Anything to keep our youth off the self destructive lifestyle.
Bike trails through Scott valley!

Camping outside of town, entertainment/employment opportunities for young adults/teens, i just feel like the restrooms in the park we have should be open to residents that are using the park. What is happening with the skatepark?
Need more parks and walking/ running trails.
Improve overnight short term camping opportunities at the park. Create walking tours of Etna emphasizing the historic points of interest. Create a multi purpose community and senior center meeting space. (Maybe the vacant bank building.) It's pretty balanced, out greatest resource are the outdoors.
Something more for the kids! The skate park idea is great and would be an awesome addition to the park for our youth.
All of this would be great, but realistic??? An skate park and ice skating rink would give A skatepark for the youth.

Open Space Element (2005)
VIII. OPEN SPACE ELEMENT C
The Open Space Element has the clearest statutory intent of all nine elements, and next to the Land Use Element, is the broadest in scope. Government Code Section 65562 states:
"It is the intent of the legislature enacting this article: a) To assure that cities and counties recognize that open-space land is a limited and valuable resource which must be conserved whenever possible, b) To assure that every city and county will prepore ond corry out open-space p/ons which, along with state and regional open-space plans, will accomplish the objectives of a comprehensive open-space program."
The element typically identifies all parcels or areas of land that are essentially unimproved and should be devoted to an open space use. Open space can be lands used for: preservation of natural resources (wetlands, wildlife habitat, creeks), managed production of resources (agricultural and forest lands), outdoor recreation (parks, trails scenic corridors), and areas for public health and safety (floodplains). A map is included showing existing open space uses (See Figure 4). c
c
79 Being a small community, open space is typically not critical concern since open spaces exist all around the community and are highly visible. Significant quantities of undeveloped land also exist within the community, some of which will remain at a low intensity of development due to physical limitations such as flooding. The feeling of being crowded that may occur in a larger community does not exist in Etna, since it is surrounded by mountain and agricultural views and open spaces. The following table summarizes the amount of open space within the City and the Sphere of Influence. r

VII. CONSERVATION ELEMENT
Leaol Basis and Requirements - This Element combines the Open Space Element and Conservation Element. Government Code Sections 653029(d) and 65302(e) require that the General Plan include:
"A conservation element for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources including water and its hydraulic force, forests, soils, rivers and other waters, harbors, fisheries, wildlife, minerals, and other natural resources."
Government Code Section 65560 requires that the General Plan for open space include:
"An open space element for the preservation of plant and animal life, including habitat for fish and wildlife; for the managed production of resources including forest lands, rangeland, agricultural lands and areas or economic importance for the production of food and fiber; for the enjoyment of outdoor recreation with access to scenic views, lakeshores, beaches, river and streams; and areas requiring special management of hazardous or special conditions for the public's health and safety." The purpose of the Conservation Element is to identify local natural resources and develop goals, policies and programs to secure preservation and enhancement of c natural resources.
Soils - The soils of the Scott River Watershed are varied. Some soils remain in place over bedrock while others are composed of materials from many sources. Soils in this watershed have been classified as to their ability to withstand loads placed upon them by building foundations. Soils in the Etna area have a moderate soil pressure limitation, a slight shrink swell behavior, and severe limitation rating for septic tank leach fields, mostly due to the high water table. Since the City provides sewer service throughout the community, the septic limitation is not a concern. The City of Etna soils have a slight to moderate potential for erosion, which as long as reasonable care is taken in planning, design and construction, there will be minimal erosion potential, which follows, details the characteristics of the six soil types that cover the City of Etna and adjacent area:

c Forest and Vegetation — There are varying densities of mixed or uniform stands of marketable timber in the vicinity of Etna. Most of the timber is located on the higher moisture sites of the north and east facing slopes. The western side of the City does encroach upon marketable timber resources. Vegetation in the valley is as complex as the topography, rainfall and soils. Vegetative cover in or near the City includes irrigated farmlands, open land, dry farmland, and some brushy areas. Covers in these brushy areas include: thorn-apple thickets, willows, wild chokecherry, and a few cottonwoods. The under story vegetation is annual and perennial grasses, wild rose bushes, weeds, and hemlock.
Climate - The climate of the area is characterized by warm dry summers and moderate wet winters. Annual precipitation ranges from seventy (70) inches in the western mountains to twenty (20) inches over the valley floor. The City of Etna is expected to average between twenty (20) and thirty (30) inch annually. Most of the precipitation occurs during the months of October through March, The average length of the growing season between 32- degree frosts is approximately one hundred and forty (1 40) days.
Air Quality - The City of Etna is located in a region identified as the Northeastern Plateau Air Basin, which includes Siskiyou, Modoc and Lassen Counties. This larger air basin is divided into local air districts, which are charged with the responsibility of implementing air quality programs. The local air quality program affecting Etna is the Siskiyou County Air Pollution Control District (SCAPCD), C
75 r Within the SCAPCD, the primary source of air pollution is the motor vehicle. In response to this source of pollutants, the state legislature adopted the California Clean Air Act which requires local air districts to develop measures to reduce emissions from mobile sources. The SCAPCD reviews land development projects as part of the California Environmental Quality Act process to determine air quality impacts, and apply local rules as a means to mitigate air quality impacts from the project.
Air quality standards are set at both the state and federal levels of government. When the pollutants within an area are below the allowed standards, that area is considered to be in attainment with the standards.
Etna and Siskiyou County do not have significant air quality problems and are considered to have attained all Federal and State Air Quality Standards except PMl 0.
PMIO is typically particulate matter from slash burning, woodstoves, and similar activities. Since the only air quality measuring stations are located in The Cities of Yreka and Mount Shasta, precise data for Etna is not available.
The Scott Valley experiences relatively limited wind activity except for winter storms.
Lack of air movement is occasionally a problem as winter fog can cover the valley for periods of two weeks or more. As the valley is urbanized there will be a greater concentration of motor vehicles and wood burning stoves, which when combined with stagnant air, may cause an increase of local air pollutants. On the positive side there has been a change in recent years, shifting away from wood burning stoves, and instead provide heating with kerosene stoves. (
Fish and Wildlife - The Scott River drainage is a free flowing tributary to the Klamath River, and as such is a valuable fishery resource for migratory fish as well as resident species. The Soil Conservation Service identifies Etna Creek, lying southeasterly of the City, as a resident trout stream. Deer winter ranges in the Scott Valley are a critical link toward maintaining the deer herds that summer in the Marble, Salmon and Trinity Mountains. The Soil Conservation Service identifies those areas of importance to the preservation of wildlife. The City of Etna is included in an area designated as a deer summer range. Additional data can be found in the Scott Valley Area Plan prepared by the Siskiyou County Planning Department.
A search was made of the Colifornia Department of Fish and Game Natural Diversity Data Base to determine if there are any rare, endangered or threatened plants or animals in the Etna area. There are two plants found in the area considered to be special plants. They are: Botrychium p/nnato, (northwestern moonwart) and Choenact/s suffrufescens (Shasta chaenctis). Neither is considered to be sensitive at this time, and neither is listed on either the Federal or State list of sensitive plants.
Hydrology - Groundwater in the Scott River Watershed is limited to the alluvial valley fill and to bedrock joints and fractures. This is the only significant source of groundwater in the area. Bedrock formations are massive and yield water only through fractures and joints, and are considered non-water bearing. The City of Etna receives its domestic water from a concrete diversion dam located on Etna Creek and ( currently does not rely on groundwater sources. 76 r
Goals and Policies - Conservation
GOAL CO-11 TO ENSURE A BALANCED ENVIRONMENT WHERE
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT CAN OCCUR WITH MINI/VAL
ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE NATURAL RESOURCES OF THE
AREA.
Objective: Etna contains natural creeks, drainage ways, wetlands and floodplains within the City and timber and agricultural uses immediately adjacent to City. It is the objective of this goal to recognize the need to protect and enhance these resources as development proposals are reviewed.
Program 11 -A: Encourage development in areas of least environmental sensitivity, and the use of environmentally innovative
techniques in any new development
Require measures to mitigate erosion and water pollution on earth disturbing activities. Best management practices shall be incorporated into all development approvals.
To protect agricultural or timber uses adjacent and outside of the City from urban impacts, projects located adjacent to such lands shall provide adequate fencing between the urban and agricultural use to discourage trespass. Additionally a "right to farm" notice shall be recorded with any property created adjacent to agricultural and timber uses to advise future owners of the potential impacts that may occur from the adjacent use.
Program 11 -B:
Program 11 -C:

PROTECT THE HIGH QUALITY OF AIR AND WATER
RESOURCES CONSISTENT WITH ADOPTED STATE AND
FEDERAL STANDARDS.
GOAL CO-12
Objective: The objective of this goal is to work with development to ensure that their contribution to air quality, particularly dust, is kept as low as possible.
Through the project review process, minimize adverse affects on the community of odor and emissions generated by
industrial uses and grading activities.
Work with Siskiyou County Air Quality Management District in efforts to maintain air quality standards and to minimize air quality impacts associated with new development.
Where practical, during the rehabilitation of houses under the Community Development Block Grant program, require the
replacement of woodstoves as the main heat source with a heating source that will have less impact on the PMlO
standard.

77 r GOAL CO-13 PRESERVE ALL OUTSTANDING AREAS OF NATURAL VEGETATIONAND FISH OR WILDLIFE HABITAT.
Objective: Only a few areas exist within the City with natural habitat for fish or wildlife. However, those few wetlands, creeks, and drainage areas should be protected when practical. It is the objective of this goal to consider fish and wildlife habitat during project reviews, and when practical accommodate these features into the project.
Program 13-A: Provide for protection of identified rare or endangered species in the area through project review.
During project review retain all stream influence areas in their natural condition, including riparian vegetation.

City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Open space can provide relief from urbanization, improve access to natural areas in and around the community, and present opportunities for habitat preservation and enhancement. The General Plan recognizes that the planning area's open space resources and scenic views also help to define the character of the community, and that Etna's parks and recreation areas are critical to creating a high quality of life for city residents.
Conservation of natural resources is important to the City and is one of the State’s three planning priorities {Gov. Code Sec. 65041.1 (b)). The implementation of sustainable conservation practices helps to ensure that future generations will have access to the same resources for a healthy environment and economy. And while sustainability is a global issue that extends beyond the City, local land use planning and resource management affect the natural environment, economic vitality, and societal support that contribute to a sustainable community.
For these reasons, the Open Space & Conservation Element identifies natural resources in the planning area; a plan to protect, retain, enhance, and/or develop these resources; areas of the City that provide value in a natural state; and a plan to preserve such areas. In doing so, the Open Space and Conservation Element implements a vision, in coordination with the Land Use Element, to preserve, enhance, and manage the City’s open space and natural resources.
5.2 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
Open Space Element Requirements
State law requires that general plans include an open space element for the comprehensive and long-range preservation and conservation of open-space land within the jurisdiction. State law defines open space land as any parcel or area of land or water that is devoted to an open-space use and that is designated on a local, regional, or state open-space plan as open space for any of the following purposes:
5.2.1 Preservation of Natural Resources. This category of open space consists of areas necessary for the preservation of natural resources, including areas required for the preservation of plant and animal life, including fish and wildlife habitat; areas required for ecologic and other scientific study purposes; and bays, estuaries, coastal beaches, rivers, streams, banks of rivers and streams, lakeshores, and watershed lands.
Managed Production of Resources. This category consists of open space areas used for the managed production of resources, including forestland, rangeland, agricultural land, and areas of economic importance for food or fiber production: areas required for recharge of groundwater basins; bays, estuaries, marshes, rivers, and streams that are important for the management of commercial fisheries: and areas containing major mineral deposits.
Outdoor Recreation. This category of open space consists of areas used for outdoor recreation, including areas of outstanding scenic, historic, and cultural value; areas particularly suited for park and recreation purposes, including access to lakeshores, beaches, and rivers and streams; and areas that serve as links between major recreation and open-space reservations, including utility easements, banks of rivers and streams, trails, and scenic highway corridors.
Public Health and Safety. This category consists of open space areas established for public health and safety, including areas required for the protection of water quality and water reservoirs, areas required for the protection and enhancement of air quality, and areas that require speciai City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-1
management or regulation because of hazardous or special conditions, such as earthquake fault zones, unstable soil areas, flood plains, watersheds, and areas presenting high fire risks.
Military Installation Mission Support. This category consists of open space areas used to support the mission of military installations, including areas adjacent to military installations, military training routes, and underlying restricted airspace that can provide additional buffer zones to military activities and complement the resource value of the military lands.
Tribal Cultural Resources Protection. This category consists of open space areas established on public property for the protection of Native American historical, cultural, and sacred sites, including sanctified cemeteries, places of worship, religious or ceremonial sites, and sacred shrines.
5.2.2 Conservation Element Requirements
In accordance with state law, general plans are required to include a conservation element that addresses the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, including water and its hydraulic force, forests, soils, rivers and other waters, harbors and fisheries, wildlife, and minerals and other natural resources. State law further requires that conservation elements consider the effect of development within the jurisdiction, as described in the land use element, on natural resources located on public lands, including military installations. And conservation elements must identify rivers, creeks, streams, flood corridors, riparian habitats, and land that may accommodate floodwater for purposes of groundwater recharge and stormwater management.
State law provides that conservation elements may also address reclamation of land and waters; prevention and control of water pollution; regulation of land in stream channels and other areas as part of a conservation plan; prevention, control, and correction of erosion; watershed protection; rock, sand, and gravel resources; and flood control.
5.2.3 Other Considerations
In addition to requiring that general plans include open space and conservation elements, state law allows for general plans to be “adopted in any format deemed appropriate or convenient by the legislative body, including the combining of elements” (Gov. Code Sec. 65301(a)). Given the strong interrelationship between open space and conservation issues, the City has chosen to combine discussion of these items into a single Open Space & Conservation Element.
Because not all subject matter addressed by open space and conservation elements will be germane to every city and county, state law provides that general plans address the required subject matter “to the extent that the subject of the element exists In the planning area” (Gov.
Code Sec. 65301(c)). Consequently, where a particular subject is not relevant to Etna, it is not addressed by the City’s Open Space & Conservation Element except perhaps to note its absence from the planning area. For example, because the planning area does not contain areas required for ecologic and other scientific study purposes; areas adjacent to military installations, military training routes, and underlying restricted airspace; areas required for the protection and enhancement of air quality; bays, harbors, estuaries, marshes, and rivers that are important for the management of commercial fisheries; coastal beaches and lakeshores; earthquake fault zones; and unstable soil areas, the Open Space & Conservation Element does not discuss these considerations.

5.3 NATURAL RESOURCES
It is desirable through the General Plan process to identify lands or areas that contain natural resources that are an asset to, or are a product of, open space. Undeveloped areas of Etna contain minor drainages, wildlife habitat, and agriculture that help to define the character of the area, as well as floodplains and wetlands that constrain development, facilitate groundwater recharge, and protect water quality. The policies provided in this Open Space & Conservation Element can be an effective means of preserving these resources, especially when paired with the Land Use Element.
5.3.1 Water
5.3.1.1 Streams and Other Surface Waters
The City of Etna is located within the Scott
River Watershed of the Klamath River
Basin. The watershed encompasses
approximately 812 square miles and
includes several perennial and ephemeral
streams that are tributary to the Scott
River. The river and its tributaries are part
of the watershed's interconnected surface
and groundwater systems that support
Etna and other communities in the Scott
Valley, numerous agricultural operations,
and essential fish habitat, including cold
water refugia for coho and Chinook
salmon. The Scott River flows past Etna a
short distance (< 1.6 miles) east of the planning area on its approximately 58-mile long journey to its confluence with the Klamath River. Within the City’s planning area, surface water features include Etna Creek, Johnson Creek, ditches and intermittent drainages, wastewater treatment plant effluent ponds, wetlands, and small ponds used for stock, wildlife, and recreation.
Figure 5-1, Etna Creek upstream from Hwy 3
The headwaters to Etna Creek and Johnson Creek are in the Marble Mountains located west of Etna. From there the streams flow in a northeasterly direction, with Johnson Creek passing through the City’s northern end and Etna Creek situated just beyond city limits to the south. Once the streams are outside the planning area, Etna Creek merges with the Scott River a few miles northeast of the City and Johnson Creek feeds its way through agricultural operations to join Crystal Creek and Patterson Creek in the north.
Etna Creek is a critical stream system for the Scott River, as well as the sole source of Etna’s municipal water supply. In 1980, the City of Etna was adjudicated a right to 2.40 cubic feet per second from Etna Creek, which the City obtains via a diversion southwest of city limits. As discussed in the Circulation Element, the City is entirely dependent upon its Etna Creek diversion, and California law requires the City and other diverters to leave water instream for the benefit of other diverters, as well as wildlife. Thus, as instream flows decrease over the dry summer months, so too does the amount of water the City can lawfully divert. For this reason, the City adopted a Water Conservation Plan in 2021 and relies heavily on volunteer measures to conserve water during dry years. Most recently, to address ongoing drought conditions and curtailment orders from the State, the City applied for and was awarded grant funding to develop an emergency City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-3
water source. The project, which entails developing up to two groundwater wells at Johnson-Joss Memorial Park, is scheduled to be completed in 2025.
5.3.1.2 Floodplains
Floodplains are critically important components of a watershed because of their ability to convey and store stormwater, protect water quality, and recharge groundwater. As mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (FIRM Map 06093C1585D) and shown in Figure 5-5, Natural Resource Constraints, large areas of the City are within the 100-year and 500-year floodplains of Etna Creek and Johnson Creek. This includes approximately 129.3 acres within the 100-year floodplains and 30.6 acres within the 500-year floodplains. As shown in Figure 5-5, Etna Creek's 100-year floodplain extends north into the City and encompasses much of the southeastern portion of the City, including several developed properties, whereas Johnson Creek’s 100-year floodplain is significantly better confined to the stream corridor. ^
To prevent flood damage resulting from development in special flood hazard areas, the City enforces flood damage prevention regulations codified in Etna Municipal Code Title 14 (Flood Damage Prevention). This occurs at the time of development and on as-needed-basis in response to violations. Additionally, the City maintains compliance with and good standing in FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program.
5.3.1.3 Wetlands
Wetlands store water, reduce flood risks, and support wildlife. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) maintains the National Wetland Inventory, which is a database of wetlands throughout the United States. The Inventory indicates the presence of wetlands within and adjacent to Etna consisting of “freshwater pond," “freshwater emergent wetland wetland,” and “riverine" habitats. The wetland features found in Etna include the surface water features described in Section 5.3.1.1 (Streams and Other Surface Waters) above and are identified according to their National Wetland Inventory classification in Figure 5-6, Natural Resources Constraints.

5.3.1.4 Groundwater Recharge and Water Quality
Etna’s watershed is a vital asset to the community in that supplies the City’s drinking water, supports agriculture, and provides essential fish and wildlife habitat. Protection and conservation of the watershed resources, both groundwater and surface water, are essential.
Urbanization can have a substantia! impact on groundwater recharge and water quality. This is due in large part to the development of impervious surfaces (e.g., roofs, streets, sidewalks, etc.) that increase the volume and rate of runoff and which limit the ability of stormwater to percolate into and be filtered by the soil. Runoff from urban areas often includes contaminants, such as oil and gas, and increased volumes and rates of runoff increase the potential for erosion and sedimentation of surface waters. When these contaminants and sediments are deposited into a ’ in response to concerns regarding inaccurate flood hazard maps for the Scott Valley, FEMA conducted a detailed study of the Scott Valley that indicates considerable revisions are needed to the effective flood maps for Etna and the surrounding area. Based on FEMA’s findings, once the revised maps become effective, the size and extent of Etna Creek’s 100-year floodplain through Etna will be significantly reduced.
City of Etna General Plan 5,0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-4
receiving waterbody, it can result in impairment of the water body and the loss offish and wildlife habitat.
In areas unaffected by the creation of impermeable surfaces, groundwater recharge is largely dependent upon the permeability of the overlying soil, the geology of the underlying basin, and the amount of water received. As discussed in Section 5.3.2 (Soils), the two predominant soil types underlying most of the City are classified as having moderately slow permeability, and a third soil type that occurs within a large area of Etna Creek’s 100-year floodplain is classified as having rapid permeability.
There has long been interest in the Scott Valley’s groundwater system and its connection to surface waters due to competing interests and needs in the valley. With the passage of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act in 2014, however, groundwater sustainability agencies were formed throughout California to evaluate groundwater inputs and uses within the State’s groundwater basins. As a result, studies to better understand the specifics of groundwater use in Scott Valley are giving local agencies and the public a better idea of the scope and extent of this vital natural resource underlying the City.
According to the Scoff Valley Groundwater Sustainability Plan adopted by the Siskiyou County Flood Control and Water Conservation District in 2021, the Scott Valley Groundwater Basin has two major geologic components, the alluvial deposits in the valley and the underlying bedrock, which also forms the surrounding mountains. As it relates to groundwater recharge, the most permeable alluvium underlies the east side of Scott Valley between Etna and Fort Jones in an area averaging 1V2 miles in width on the floodplain of the Scott River. Further, the major source of recharge into stream channel and floodplain deposits between Etna and Fort Jones is underflows and surface runoff originating upstream of the vicinity of Etna and from the Scott River’s western tributaries. As a result, the most important locations for groundwater recharge of the underlying groundwater basin are outside the City. Within the planning area, groundwater recharge is best facilitated within and adjacent to Etna Creek's 100-year floodplain.
According to the California Department of Water Resource (DWR), water quality in the Scott Valley Groundwater Basin is characterized as calcium-magnesium bicarbonate-type water, with some areas of the basin affected by high iron, manganese, sodium, chloride, total dissolved solids, calcium, and increased sodium hazards (i.e.. Adjusted Sodium Adsorption Ratio). DWR notes that waters originating in the mountains west of the Scott Valley (e.g., Etna Creek and Johnson Creek) are lower in mineralization with a higher ratio of sodium and potassium than waters derived from other sources in the Scott Valley.
5.3.2 Soils & Mineral Resources
Soil Types and Their Characteristics
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), which classifies soils throughout the United States, the predominant soil types in Etna are various types of After loam (23.9 percent). Boomer loam (35.2 percent), Diyou loam (39.9 percent), and Marpa-Kinkel-Boomer complex (less than one percent). The characteristics of these soil types are summarized in Table 5-1, Soil Types, Locations & Characteristics.

5.3.2.2 Mineral Resources
The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) of 1975 mandates that the State Mining and Geology Board (SMGB) and California Department of Conservation Division of Mines and Geology (currently the California Geological Survey) prepare a mineral resource report for each county to help identify and protect mineral resources in areas subject to urban expansion or other land use changes that preclude mineral extraction. If the SMGB classifies an area of statewide significance, the city or county with land use authority is required to establish a mineral resource management policy and designate the area in its general plan as having important minerals to be protected. SMARA further requires that prior to the city or county permitting a use that may threaten the potential to extract minerals in a designated area, the city or county would need to prepare a statement specifying its reasons for permitting the use. The State has not yet prepared a mineral resource report for Siskiyou County or classified any areas within or adjacent to Etna as being of statewide significance.
City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-6
For many years following the discovery of gold near the mouth of the Scott River in 1850 and near Black Gulch outside Yreka in 1851. gold mining remained an important industry in Siskiyou County. Mountains and streams near Etna were worked heavily by miners for nearly 100 years following those discoveries, and miners and mule packers helped to fuel Etna's economy in its early years. The pursuit of gold, however, came with dramatic and adverse impacts to the environment and native cultures. During World War II. gold mining was largely shut down in the United States to focus efforts on the war. Since that time, gold mining in Siskiyou County has persisted at a greatiy reduced level, fluctuating to some degree with the economy and the value of gold. Most mining in the Scott Valley these days involves sand and gravel skimming operations rather than prospecting for gold. Nevertheless, with limited sand and gravel resources in Etna’s planning area, no commercial mining operations have been established and none are anticipated in the future.
5.3.3 Forests and Vegetation
There are varying densities of mixed or uniform stands of marketable timber west of Etna, and forestry remains an important, albeit significantly reduced, industry in Siskiyou County. However, most parcels in the City are too small and lack significant tree cover to support forestry and no lands within the planning area are zoned for timber production. Vegetative cover in or near the City includes irrigated farmlands, open land, dry farmland, and some brushy areas. Cover in these brushy areas include thorn-apple thickets, willows, wild chokecherry, and cottonwoods. The under story vegetation is annual and perennial grasses, wild rose bushes, weeds, and hemlock.
According to the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) System maintained by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), large areas west of Etna as well as forested areas north and west of the City’s water treatment plant are classified as Klamath mixed conifer.
Outside these areas, habitats in the City are classified as “urban” or “annual grassland." Additionally, the National Land Cover Database (2021) maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) classifies ground cover in most of Etna as “developed” at varying intensities with pockets of “grasslands/herbaceous," “shrub/scrub,” “evergreen forest." “mixed forest,” “pasture/hay”, “emergent herbaceous wetlands." and “cultivated crops”. Lands in the Sphere of Influence are predominantly classified by USGS as “grasslands/herbaceous,” “shrub/scrub,” “cultivated crops,” and “evergreen forest."
5.3.4 Fish and Wildlife
Most notable of the fish and wildlife species in the planning area are the mule deer {Odocoileus hemionus) often seen strolling through town and eating the landscaping in residents’ yards. While natural and developed areas of the City offer forage for the “yard deer” or “town deer.” as they are affectionally known, the City does not provide critical habitat for the species, such as wintering habitat essential to their survival. These areas are located south and east of the City outside of the planning area. And though concerns have been raised about the decline of the mule deer population in several areas of the State, including in Siskiyou County, the species is not at risk or potentially at risk of extinction or extirpation, and no state or federal protection status has been afforded to or proposed for the species.
5.3.4.1 Special-Status Species
Species whose persistence are at risk or potentially at risk in a given area or across their native habitats are designated for protection by governmental agencies such as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (UFWS). These City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-7
species are commonly referred to as special-status species. Risk factors to a special-status species’ persistence or population's persistence include habitat loss, increased mortality (take, electrocution, etc.), invasive species, and toxins.
According to the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) maintained by the CDFW, there are a variety of special-status wildlife, insect, and plant species with the potential to occur in Etna’s planning area. These species include American goshawk {Accipiter atricapillus), sharp-shinned hawk {Accipiter striatus), northern spotted owl {Strix occidentalis caurina), fischer {Pekania pennanti), coho salmon {Oncorhynchus kisutch), steelhead {Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus), Crotchs bumble bee {Bombus crotchii), western bumblebee {Bombus occidentalis), Cascades frog {Rana cascadae), southern long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactyium sigiilatum), Shasta chaenactis {Chaenactis suffrutescens), northwestern moonwort {Botrychium pinnatum), timber blue grass {Poa rhizomata), Scott Valley buckwheat {Eriogonum umbellatum var. lautum), Scott and Mountain bedstraw {Galium serpenticum ssp. scotticum).
No public lands in the planning area
have been identified as containing
critical habitat for these species, with the
nearest USFWS identified critical habitat
located approximately 2.6 miles
southwest of Etna. Streams in the Scott
Valley, however, are classified as
Essential Fish Habitat under the
Magnussen Stevenson Act (MSA). In
accordance with the MSA, consultation
with NOAA Fisheries is required
whenever a federal agency, such as the
U.S. Forest Service, works in an area
that will adversely affect Essential Fish
Habitat. Figure 5-2, Migrating salmon
5.3.5 Air Quality
The federal Clean Air Act requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to establish ambient air quality standards for six criteria air pollutants: ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, lead, and suspended particulate matter. The California Clean Air Act also sets ambient air quality standards, which are more stringent than the federal standards and which include four additional pollutants. When the air quality in a geographic area meets or is cleaner than federal and/or state standards, the area is considered to be in attainment of the standard. Because air contaminants can result from activity outside the area and are not geographically contained, however, an exceedance of a standard is not necessarily related to a violation of the standard for the area.
Different air quality pollutants have been monitored in Siskiyou County over the years, however, the only pollutants that currently receive continuous monitoring are ozone (O3) and fine suspended particulate matter (PM2.5). Ozone monitoring has been in place in Siskiyou County since 1981 and PM2.5 monitoring was added in 2005. The air quality monitoring station is operated by the Siskiyou County Air Pollution Control District in Yreka, approximately 22.5 miles northeast of Etna.
City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-8
Ozone occurs naturally in the upper atmosphere: however, it can also be created in the lower atmosphere when exhaust emissions and other pollutants react with sunlight. Exposure to ozone can irritate the respiratory system and result in
decreased lung function, aggravated asthma, and
possible lung damage with persistent exposure.
According to the California Air Resources Board,
ozone levels in Siskiyou County consistently meet
federal and state air quality standards.
Fine suspended particulate matter, or PM2.5,
consists of tiny solid or liquid particles (approx.
0.0001 inch or less) that can easily enter and be
deposited in the lungs. Although the composition of
PM2.5 varies, typical sources include power plants,
wildfires, industrial facilities, automobiles, and other sources of combustion. Inhalation of fine
suspended particulate matter can cause coughing,
phlegm, wheezing, and other physical discomfort,
as well as increased rates of respiratory and
cardiovascular illness with long-term exposure.
Recent research has found that long-term exposure
to PM2.5 can also substantially increase a person's
risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and related
dementia. According to the California Air Resources
Board, although Siskiyou County remains classified
as being in attainment of state and federal PM2.5
standards, there have been ongoing, seasonal
exceedances of PM2.5 for the past several years due
to wildfires.

5.4 PALEONTOLOGICAL, CULTURAL, AND HISTORIC RESOURCES
Paleontological Resources
Paleontological resources, or fossils, are the evidence of once-living organisms preserved in the geologic record. They include both the fossilized remains of prehistoric plants and animals as well as signs of their existence (e.g., tracks, imprints, burrows, etc.). Fossils are considered to be greater than 5,000 years old and are typically preserved in sedimentary rocks. Although rare, fossils can also be preserved in volcanic rocks and low-grade metamorphic rocks under certain conditions. Intrusive igneous rocks, high-grade metasedimentary, and metavolcanic rocks are incapable of preserving paleontological resources due to the high temperatures and/or pressures required for their formation.
Although several fossils have been found in Siskiyou County, and pre-Cambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Pleistocene sedimentary and metasedimentary deposits in the County are classified as having a high potential to yield paleontological resources, no unique geological or paleontological resources have been documented within the City or are known to occur in Etna.
5.4.1 City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-9
5.4.2 Tribal Cultural Resources
The City of Etna is within the ethnographic territory of the Shasta people. Traditional Shasta land extends from just north of the Oregon state line south to the Scott Mountains and east from Mount Shasta to the Salmon and Marble Mountains in the west. It is estimated that prior to EuroAmerican contact, the Shasta’s population was approximately 6,000 but that due to introduced diseases and violent conflict with settlers and soldiers, the population was reduced to around 300 people within a few short decades. Today, the descendants are principally affiliated with the Shasta Indian Nation, Shasta Nation, and Quartz Valley Indian Community, which also includes Klamath and Karuk tribal members.
Consultation with the Shasta is essential to accurately identifying open spaces opportunities and to protecting sensitive cultural resources, including sanctified cemeteries, places of worship, religious or ceremonial sites, and sacred shrines, if any are present. In accordance Government Code Section 65352.3, the City contacted tribal representatives identified by the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to invite formal consultation for the purpose of protecting tribal cultural resources as part of the General Plan update. Individuals contacted included representatives of the Shasta Indian Nation and Shasta Nation. No tribal representative requested formal consultation or submitted comments or concerns regarding the City’s General Plan update.
Additionally, the NAHC completed a Sacred Lands File search of the planning area at the request of the City, the results of which were negative (i.e., no records of tribal cultural resources were located).
Although no responses were received and no tribal cultural resources are known to occur in Etna, the City recognizes the potential for the inadvertent discovery of tribal cultural resources during future development activities in the City, as provided for in the Land Use Element. This includes the possibility of the unanticipated and accidental discovery of human remains. For this reason, the City complies with and requires compliance with state law, including California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 and California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5.
5.4.3 Historic Resources
Etna, or Rough and Ready as the City was
known in its early years, was founded in
1853 with the development of a sawmill
and the first housing in the present
townsite. Within five years, the community
had grown to include several businesses
supported, in part, by miners working
claims along the Scott and Salmon Rivers
and the mule packers that supplied them.
Following a flood that badly damaged the
nearby community and commercial center
of Aetna Mills in 1861-62, its post office
and many of its residences and businesses
relocated to Rough and Ready, fueling
growth of the community. In 1874, the community’s name was changed to Etna, and in 1878, the City of Etna incorporated. Due to its pioneer past and early miner days, there are numerous historic structures in the City that help to define Etna’s character and which add to the City’s charm. Although none of the buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the California Register of Historical Resources, and no official historic district has been established Figure 5-4, Mule packers ca. 1895 (Source; CSU Chico)
City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-10
as a means to preserve these structures, most of the structures are in closely proximity to one another such that a district could readily be formed. This includes eight commercial structures in the downtown area that date to the late 1800s, as well as several residential dwellings of similar age that may also be worthy of historic recognition and preservation. Therefore, to better protect and preserve Etna’s historic character and charm, the City desires to work with owners of historic properties, particularly those in the downtown area, to evaluate the creation of a historic district or similar mechanism for protection of these resources.
5.5 AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
Agricultural land conservation can be a foundation for more permanently preserving lands at the edge of cities for their intrinsic open space values. When agricultural activities produce selfsustaining revenue, agricultural conservation can be amongst the most cost-effective means of protecting open space, promoting infill development, and preserving the unique rural cultural character of communities. Agricultural lands can also play an important role in maintaining connectivity of conserved lands and preserving wildlife corridors and wetlands.
There is relatively little agriculture in the City when compared to unincorporated lands surrounding the City. The agricultural uses found in Etna consist primarily of grazing, 4-H projects, and non commercial agriculture, such as keeping horses. The City supports these uses through its application of land use and zoning regulations.
As outlined in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Land Inventory and Monitoring (LIM) Project for Siskiyou County, Central Part, and Butte Valley-Tule Lake Area Soil Surveys, the only soil type in Etna that meets the criteria for “prime farmland” is Diyou loam, drained (#137). This soil type is limited to approximately 87.6 acres in a central, mostly developed area of the community where commercial agriculture, were it to occur and depending upon how it occurs, may not be compatible with surrounding uses. Nevertheless, undeveloped property in this area could potentially support development of less intensive agricultural uses, including community gardens. Additionally, one of the closely related soil types in Etna, Diyou loam, (#136), meets the criteria for “farmland of statewide importance.” Diyou loam underlies approximately 49.5 acres between Main Street and Callahan Steet in the City's southeast. This is a largely undeveloped area of the City within Etna Creek’s 100-year floodplain that is used periodically for grazing.
The California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) classifies most lands in Etna as “urban and built-up land” due to development, with the largely undeveloped area in the City’s southeast classified as “farmland of statewide importance.” Lands within the Sphere of Influence are principally classified by the FMMP as “farmland of local importance" and “other land.”
An important tool for preserving land for agricultural uses is the California Land Conservation Act, better known as the Williamson Act. The Williamson Act program was envisioned as a way for local governments to integrate the protection of open space and agricultural resources into their overall strategies for planning urban growth patterns. To do so, the Williamson Act program enables local governments to enter into contracts with private landowners for the purpose of restricting specific parcels of land to agricultural or related open space use. Private land within locally designated agricultural preserve areas is eligible for enrollment under contract. The minimum acreage for enrollment under the Williamson Acy is 100 acres and the term for contracts is ten years. However, since the contract term automatically renews on each anniversary date of the contract, the actual term is essentially indefinite. Landowners receive substantially reduced property tax assessments in return for enrollment under Williamson Act contract. Despite the City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-11
savings, there are no agricultural properties subject to a Wiiliamson Act contract within the City or Sphere of Influence.
5.6 ENERGY
As discussed in the Circulation Element, there are no electrical energy production facilities in Etna. Pacific Power provides electrical service to the City and surrounding area.
State and local agencies regulate the use and consumption of energy through various methods and programs. As a result of the passage of Assembly Bill 32 (the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006), which seeks to reduce the effects of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, a multitude of state regulations have been enacted to reduce energy use and GHG emissions.
Many of these regulations are implemented and enforced at the local level through energy efficiency requirements in the building permit application process.
The Siskiyou County Building Department, which the City contracts with for plan check and building inspection services, ensures that all new construction complies with the standards in effect on the date a building permit application is made, including the Energy Efficiency Standards and Green Building Standards in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. Although the City does not have any additional energy conservation requirements or standards in place, energy and efficiency incentive programs for residential and commercial customers are regularly offered by Pacific Power and the State of California.
5.7 PARKS AND RECREATION
The City aims to preserve, maintain, and enhance a network of open space that connects compatible natural resource areas, parks, and recreation areas and which provides access to key destinations in the community. This will allow for pedestrian, bicycle, and wildlife circulation, as well as opportunities for passive recreation.
5.7.1 Existing Parks and Recreation Areas
Public parks and recreation areas in Etna are currently owned and maintained by the City, with the Scott Valley Unified School District providing additional outdoor recreation areas and facilities for youth-related activities at the Elementary School and High School. Two local non-profits also own recreation facilities in the planning area. The Etna Beautification Project maintains a small park for public use on Main Street
and the Scott Valley Pleasure Park
Association maintains facilities
adjacent to city limits for community
activities, including rodeos, clinics,
community riding, 4H/FFA events,
and softball. Among the various
entities, recreational amenities in the
planning area presently include
ballfields, playgrounds, tennis courts,
picnic areas, a community pool, and
rodeo grounds.

■r- T
During the General Plan update,
residents were surveyed and asked
Figure 5-5, Scott Valley Community Pool
City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-12
their opinions about the adequacy of the City’s parks and recreation facilities. Respondents were split on the issue, with fewer than half (44.0%) indicating the City’s existing parks and recreation facilities meet the needs of the community. When asked about desired improvements, a youth facility/skate park and walking/running trails were most frequently noted by respondents.
The Etna Police Activities League (PAL) has been working to address the first need identified by the community with its plan to develop a skate park, and a possible site for the facility has been identified. Nevertheless, project planning remains in the early stages and no permits or approvals have been obtained. In addition, as discussed in the Circulation Element, the City presently has a limited active transportation network that it would like to build upon, and trails are an important element of outdoor recreation. City-owned land with which to develop a pedestrian and/or bicycle trail network on separate from automobiles is largely nonexistent. For that reason, public-private partnerships and use of easements should be considered when planning trails. With willing private partners, land within Etna Creek’s 100-year floodplain could potentially be enhanced and co managed for public access and flood control, and trails connected with other pedestrian and bike friendly areas in the community to promote recreation and active transportation.
Etna’s current open space areas for outdoor recreation are summarized in Table 5-2 below and are shown on Figure 5-6, Parks and Recreation.

Quimby Act
Local governments in California provide an important role in the establishment of parkland and open space for recreational purposes. The Quimby Act (California Government Code Section 66477) authorizes cities and counties to pass ordinances requiring developers to set aside land, donate conservation easements, or pay in-lieu fees for park improvements. Revenues generated through the Quimby Act cannot be used for the operation and maintenance of existing park facilities, although they may be used for park rehabilitation.
5.7.2 The intent of the Quimby Act is to assist local municipalities in providing adequate open space for their citizenry by requiring developers to mitigate the impacts of residential development projects.
The provisions give authority for passage of land dedication ordinances only to cities and counties. However, if an agency other than a city or county is responsible for providing recreational services, the agency ultimately is the recipient of the land dedication and/or fees.
Local Quimby Act ordinances must include definite standards for determining the proportion of land to be dedicated and the amount of the fee to be paid. Further, in order for the City to be able City of Etna General Plan 5.0 Open Space & Conservation Element 5-13
enforce a Quimby Act ordinance, the ordinance must be in effect for a period of at least thirty days prior to the filing of the tentative subdivision map or parcel map.
The City of Etna does not yet have a Quimby Act ordinance, which is understandable given the limited growth that has occurred in the past. Nevertheless, because the City of Etna periodically receives subdivision applications and has yet to pass such an ordinance, it may be in the interest of the City to incorporate the necessary Quimby Act language into City Code.
5.8 CONSERVATION, DEVELOPMENT & UTILIZATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES Natural resource conservation offers many rewards. The preservation of water-related resources can reduce flooding, improve water quality, and increase resiliency to drought. Trees planted in parks and yards and along streets and parking areas are an effective, low technology means of staying cool during summer, reducing energy demand, and achieving other social, environmental, and economic benefits. Conservation of environmental and agricultural resources is also one of the State’s three planning priorities and helps to achieve State climate goals.
Understanding the natural resources within Etna and the methods for conserving them helps ensure community needs are balanced with environmental conservation and climate change considerations. Most natural resource conservation issues are closely related to open space preservation. Protection of open space is a means of protecting the watershed, reducing pollution, and conserving wetlands and other resources.
The goals, policies, and programs in this element, along with the Land Use, Safety, and Circulation Elements, seek to balance new development in the City with the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources.
5.9 EFFECT OF DEVELOPMENT ON OPEN SPACE AND NATURAL RESOURCES Planning for new development in Etna should consider and protect natural resources within and around the City, and it does so in different ways. The City’s municipal code includes building and subdivision standards that protect public health and safety from development in flood hazard areas, and it provides for the protection of biological resources in open space areas. Additionally, Figure 5-5, Natural Resources Constraints is included below to identify the locations of natural resources in the City that may require permits or other approvals from state and federal agencies prior to development or disturbance of the underlying land.
The Natural Resources Constraints map does not restrict development of property by the City.
Rather, the intent of the map is to help assure a sensitive form of development that protects identified natural resources, preserves biodiversity and important natural habitats, and reduces hazards due to flooding. To achieve this, the Natural Resource Constraints map combines FEMA’s floodplain data with USFWS’s National Wetlands Inventory data to indicate the presence of federal development regulations set forth by FEMA and USFWS to protect property owners from flood damage and to protect sensitive natural habitats. By including this information in the General Plan Open Space & Conservation Element, it indicates to property owners, developers, and city staff the presence of potential limitations to development in these areas and the need for additional review prior to building permit issuance and/or project approval. Importantly, however, because more accurate flood hazard information should be made available from FEMA in the near future, as discussed in Section 5.3.1.2 (Floodplains), the Natural Resource Constraints map will likely need to be updated at that time.
City of Etna General Plan 5.0 open Space & Conservation Element 5-14
It is also important to note that in addition to permits or other approvals from FEMA and USFWS, prior to the disturbance of wetlands or the bed, bank, or channel of any surface waters, additional permits or other approvals may be required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and California Water Resources Control Board.
The goals, policies, and programs in this element, along with the Land Use, Safety, and Circulation Elements, seek to balance new development with the preservation of the City’s natural resources.
5.10 CORRELATION WITH OTHER ELEMENTS
Some of the topics addressed in the Open Space & Conservation Element overlap with and are also addressed by other elements of the General Plan. For example, floodplains and flood risk reduction are also addressed in the Safety Element, and Land Use Element policies that promote efficient use of land and infill development are intended to support growth of the community without unnecessarily converting agriculture or other open space to an urban use. As discussed in the Noise Element, open space can also be used to buffer incompatible land uses from one another, such as noise sensitive uses from noise generating sources. Accordingly, the Open Space & Conservation Element should be used in combination with the other Elements to ensure full implementation of all General Plan resource-related policies.
5.11 OPEN SPACE ACTION PLAN
Government Code Section 65564 requires that every local open space plan contain an action program consisting of specific programs that the legislative body intends to pursue in implementing its open space plan. Thereafter, any action by the city or county by which open space land is acquired or disposed of, or its use restricted or regulated, needs to be consistent with the local open space plan. In the case of Etna, the open space plan is the Open Space & Conservation Element, and the open space program consists of the goals, policies, and programs in Section 5.12 (Open Space and Conservation Element Goals, Policies & Programs), which follows.

Hey Mrs. Bennett,
Thanks for this forwarding, we really want to get a Skatepark and a Pump Track Built. It is going to take some big grants to do it. That is what we are working on now. Can you still add me to the next City Council meeting Agenda {Oct. 28th) to discuss an Etna PAL Skate Night? Etna PAL wants to discuss having a weekly or bi-weekly "Skate Night" sanctioned at the intersection of Howell and Harrison. This would be open to kids on bikes, scooters, roller blades, skateboards. We will set up ramps and put cones out to block the street. We would eventually barbecue Hamburgers/Cheesburgers as a fundraiser for the pumptrack/ skatepark.
This would start to build community involvement and look good for Grant writing.
Best,
Nathan Chismar

Hello Jenny! I was trying to get in touch with Dan Burbank.
My name is Maddie and I am with American Ramp Company; we specialize in skateparks, bike parks and pump tracks. know a few years ago we had talked with him about some skatepark options that could work for Etna - just wanted to reach out and see if there was any development or discussion about a skatepark in the future.
1 I would Love to chat with you about some ways we could help develop a park that would be perfect for your community! In addition to in ground and above ground skateparks, we also specialize in bike parks such as pump tracks, jump lines, skills courses, and bicycle playgrounds. Ultimately, we are here to help provide you with whatever your community needs to get outside and connect with each other! I’ve included some links to our home page and sister company. ● https://americanrampcompany.com/

ETNA CITY COUNCIL
Mayor and City Council Members
Jeff Mitchem, City Manager
October 28, 2024
UPDATE: RULE 20A - UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT
To:
From:
Date:
Subject:
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive staff recommendation for Underground Utility District boundary (Attachment A) and take additional action as necessary.
OVERVIEW:
Creating Underground Utility Districts (UUD)
Step 1. Determine Draft UUD (we are here). City Council to provide direction to Staff regarding the boundaries of the Draft UUD.
Step 2. General Enabling Ordinance (Nov 2024). The ordinance designating the UUD shall require that all existing overhead electrical and communications facilities be removed, and any new future facilities be placed underground.
Step 3. Creation of District To ensure participating utilities have sufficient resources (e.g., budget, materials, staff, time) to complete the project, the local government should create the district 2-5 years in advance of the desired project construction start date. This will give participating utility companies sufficient lead time to budget, coordinate, and schedule their work.
A. City to work with utility to develop a final project boundary and proposed timeline. The area to be converted is clearly defined by a boundary map. ■ Consult with Pacific Power and call public hearings to determine whether the removal of poles, overhead wires, and associated overhead structures within a proposed underground utilities district is justified by the general public’s interest.
B. Pacific Power verifies the availability of Rule 20A work credits.
C. City to distribute notices to affected property owners and holds a public hearing.
D. City informs the affected property owners of their responsibilities and how their service conversions will be paid.
■ Require property owners in the UUD to install, in accordance with Pacific Power’s requirements for underground service, all electrical facility changes necessary to receive service from the new underground system as soon as it is available.
E. City adopts a resolution creating the underground utility district, including setting the date by which property owners must be ready to receive underground utility service and specifying whether it will use Rule 20A work credits to cover the installation of service laterals and trenching and panel conversions on private property.
Step 4. Engineering: Engineering includes completion of all documents and construction drawings necessary to construct a new underground electrical system. This may include the replacement of streetlights, undergrounding of services on private property and the modification of customer’s service panels to accept underground service. Rights-of-way may need to be secured for which Pacific Power will help prepare the necessary documents. Pacific Power budgets the project up to the amounts provided in Rule 20 and completes engineering.
Step 5. Construction: Construction includes but is not necessarily limited to trenching, backfill, trench restoration, pulling cable, service conversions, energizing underground system and removal of overhead electrical facilities (poles, wires, transformers, etc.).
Step 6. Close Project: Pacific Power determines the final project costs and reports to the city and to the CPUC. City authorizes Pacific Power to discontinue its overhead service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays for service laterals? Service laterals or services extend from the point of connection at Pacific Power’s secondary junction point to the service delivery point on the customer’s premises. Rule 20A allows work credits to be used for this work, but not to exceed 100 feet. This work is to be addressed as part of the resolution or ordinance for the project. The city will be charged for any excess of 100 feet, and they may collect the excess from the property owner or other responsible party. If the city does not choose to include service laterals under its work credit funding, the property owner is responsible for the trench and installation of the service conduit from the service panel to the property line.Trenching on private property includes restoring the property to pre-existing condition.
Who pays for panel conversions? Rule 20A work credits may be used to replace or modify a customer’s electrical panel to accept service from the new underground electric system. A limit should be set by the ordinance as to the maximum work credits to be used per panel conversion.
Any excess of the limit is to be billed to the city, and they may collect the excess from the property owner or other responsible party. Any modifications required by the city to clear violations of codes or ordinances are the responsibility of the property owner and are not to be funded by work credits.
This includes upgrades from 2-wire to 3-wire service, and panel relocations for safety, access or other purposes. The city may elect to use credits to pay for up to 100 feet of service laterals, and may set a limit in the ordinance on how many credits can be used on panel conversions per customer. The excerpt above explains that the credits cannot be used for upgrades or panel changes to correct existing code violations.
How are other co-located overhead utilities dealt with? Prior to the city adopting a resolution, they should work together with participating utilities to develop realistic project timelines. To ensure participating utilities have sufficient resources (e.g., budget, materials, staff, time) to complete the project, the local government should adopt the resolution 2-5 years in advance of the desired project construction start date. This will give participating utility companies sufficient lead time to budget, coordinate, and schedule their work. Each utility will be responsible for system design and installation of its own cables, wires, and pad-mounted fixtures for the new underground system. A utility composite drawing may be created wherein the electric utility creates its design, then hands off its design drawings to the telecommunications utility, which in turn hands off to the cable company.
What are the qualifying criteria for establishing UUD? Rule 20A underground conversion projects are funded by all of Pacific Power’s ratepayers, not just those in the affected area, and are intended to underground existing distribution voltage lines (below 50 kilovolts) in areas that benefit the “public interest’’ as defined in criteria set by the CPUC. Like most utility infrastructure investments, the cost of undergrounding for a Rule 20A conversion is borne by all ratepayers. If undergrounding existing overhead electrical lines and facilities are a priority for Etna, it is critical to begin working with Pacific Power on planning underground conversion well in advance.
Preliminary estimates will be necessary to determine the cost of the conversion and evaluate it against our work credits. Once we have evaluated all the costs, funding options, and other commitments, and are determined to move ahead with the conversion, we will request the project be scheduled as part of Pacific Power’s capital improvement plan.
Can Assessment Districts be created to help fund UUD? Pursuant to the Street Improvement Act of 1911, assessment districts may be created by the city to pay for city costs, such as a city owned street lighting system to be installed in conjunction with a Rule 20A project.
How long does the phasing of project implementation typically take? A Rule 20A project may be defined as having five phases. Depending on the size and complexity of the conversion these phases may, for a larger project be distinct separate steps, or for a smaller project some phases may be blended together.
1. Planning Phase: (3 to 12 months). The Planning Phase includes all activities necessary to deliver a city approved project to the affected utilities. In this phase the project is identified, consultation with the affected utilities is held, the resolution or ordinance is created and approved, and other aspects of the job are prepared in readiness for the next phase.
2. Design Phase: (6 to 18 months). The Design Phase includes all engineering and design work necessary to construct the new underground system and remove existing overhead facilities. Each participating utility will design its own system.
3. Pre-Construction Phase: (6 to 24 months). The Pre-constructio n phase includes all actives necessary to prepare and allow for construction. This includes obtaining all necessary easements, permits and environmental clearances. There may be a coordinated joint bid process for the civil work for all the utilities to a single contractor.
4. Construction Phase: {3 to 18 months). The Construction phase includes all construction necessary to install and place in service the new underground system. This includes all necessary work on private property, both service laterals and building wiring/service panels.
5. Closing Phase: (6 to 12 months). The Closing phase includes the activities necessary to complete the project. Included are the removal of the existing overhead facilities, updating Pacific Power’s mapping and inventory, determination of final costs and updating of work credit balances, and close out of Pacific Power’s work orders and accounting.
Preliminary Cost Estimate. Preliminary estimates: removal of overhead utilities - $49,000; trenching - $35,000 - $70,000; installation of underground utilities - $145,000. Total Cost Estimate:
$229,500 - $275,000.

Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance Establishing a Procedures for Fees, Charges, and Assessments; Finding Such Action Exempt from CEQA Attachments: A. [Draft] Ordinance
To:
From:
Date:
Subject:
RECOMMENDATION:
Motion to
Introduce and waive first reading of ordinance establishing procedure for adoption of fees, charges, and assessments.
Finding such action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
1. 2.
SUMMARY:
The Etna Municipal Code does not have a procedure for requiring notice for new fees, charges, and assessments on real property pursuant to Proposition 218 (Cal. Const., Art. XIII D), or to establish procedure to defend against challenges to fees, charges, and assessments adopted under Proposition 218. Proposition 218 and other provisions of state law establish certain parameters for hearings, notice and protest procedures. Recently, Government Code sections 53759.1 and 53759.2 were adopted to allow cities to address legal challenges to fees, charges and assessments if the procedures for consideration of objections by a ratepayer or assessed party were not raised before the close of the hearing.
The ordinance requires that the City provide notice for the hearing at least 45 days prior to the hearing, that the notice provide in legible print certain required language about the objection procedure, and that anyone not raising an issue with the City Council regarding the fee, charge or assessment may be precluded from challenging the issue if not raised prior to the close of the hearing.
The California Constitution grants the City additional authority to enforce any local, police, sanitary, or other ordinance not in conflict with general laws, and to establish and operate public works upon conditions and under regulations that the City may prescribe. (Cal. Const., Art. XI, §§ 7, 9.) Based on this authority, state law allows the ordinance to require objections to challenge fees or charges adopted under Article XIII C of the California Constitution, any assessment on real property, be timely submitted in writing prior to the hearing for adoption. This ordinance also establishes the process the City must follow to limit challenges in this way. The City must:
379195.1
Make the proposed fee, charge, or assessment publicly available at least 45 days before the deadline for submitting written objections;
Post a written basis for the proposed fee, charge, or assessment on the City’s website and include a link to that website on public hearing notices regarding the proposed adoption of the proposed fee, charge, or assessment;
Mail the written basis for the proposed fee, charge, or assessment to ratepayers or property owners upon request;
Provide at least 45 days for ratepayers or property owners to submit written objections to the fee, charge, or assessment;
Respond in writing to any timely submitted objections with an explanation for keeping or changing the proposed fee, charge, or assessment;
Present any timely submitted objections and responses thereto to the City Council for its consideration, either before or during the public hearing on the proposed fee, charge, or assessment;
1. 2.
3. 4.
5. 6.
Include on its public hearing notices a statement in bold-faced type of 12 points or larger:
That all written objections must be submitted to the City Clerk by the end of public comment period at the hearing, that a failure to timely object in writing bars any right to challenge that fee, charge, or assessment in court, and that any such action will be limited to issues identified in such objections; and
All substantive and procedural requirements for submitting an objection to the proposed fee, charge, or assessment.
7. a.
b.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Minimal impact of staff effort to place notices on city website, or provide written materials by mail upon request. Potential savings of litigation against challenges to Council actions for implementing revenue measures.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The adoption of this ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 21065 and 15061(b)(3) as the establishment of an administrative remedies procedure will not result in a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

California Constitution, article XIII D, section 6(a) or for an assessment on real property under California Constitution, article XIII D, section 4(e).
Section 3.34.030 — Objections by Ratepayer or Assessed Owner; Duty to Exhaust Administrative Remedies Prior to Judicial Actions Objection Form and Timing. A.
Any objection by ratepayer or assessed property owner to a proposed fee, charge or assessment shall be submitted in writing to the City Clerk specifying the grounds for objection or allegations of noncompliance. Such objection shall on the exterior of the envelope containing the writing and at the top of the writing or subject line of an electronically submitted writing identify at a minimum as follows "Objection to Proposed Fee, Charge or Assessment". Any envelope with such notice received prior to 2 commencement of the Hearing will be opened for the purpose of responding to such basis for opposition and to include in the materials for the Hearing.

The City Council declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof despite the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional and, to that end, the provisions hereof are hereby declared to be severable.
SECTION 5. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect 30 days after its adoption pursuant to Government Code section 36937.

Re: Consent and Waiver of Conflict of Interest with Town of Fort Tones Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
I write to request the consent of the City of Etna ("Etna") to our representation of the Town of Fort Jones ("Fort Jones") which has an interest potentially adverse to Etna.
As I have advised, I have been appointed as Town Attorney for the Town of Fort Jones.
As the Police Department of the City of Etna has a contract with the Town of Fort Jones to provide police services, this interest is potentially adverse to Etna. Such conflict has been disclosed to the Town of Fort Jones and a waiver of such conflict is being obtained as part of the legal services agreement with Fort Jones. Such waiver will allow the Firm to continue to represent Etna in all matters, including future negotiations regarding the contract for police services. No other potential conflicts have been identified at this time.
Because there is a conflict of interest, we must obtain a conflict waiver from all parties involved before agreeing to represent Fort Jones as Town Attorney. The informed written consent of all clients is required whenever a law firm represents clients with potentially or actually adverse interests, even in unrelated matters. California Rules of Professional Conduct, rule 1.7(b) provides:
A lawyer shall not, without informed written consent* from each affected client and compliance with paragraph (d), represent a client if there is a significant risk the lawyer's representation of the client will be materially 790 E.

limited by the lawyer's responsibilities to or relationships with another client, a former client or a third person,* or by the lawyer's own interests.
California Rules of Professional Conduct, rule 1.7(d) provides:
Representation is permitted under this rule only if the lawyer complies with paragraphs (a), (b), and (c), and:
(1) the lawyer reasonably believes* that the lawyer will be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client; (2) the representation is not prohibited by law; and
(3) the representation does not involve the assertion of a claim by one client against another client represented by the lawyer in the same litigation or other proceeding before a tribunal.
(Terms followed by asterisks are defined elsewhere in the Rules.) You should consider the pros and cons of granting this wavier to allow us to represent Etna while we also represent Fort Jones. The pros are that Etna will have access to our general counsel services. The cons include the possibility that we may be viewed to have divided loyalties. We think we can provide effective, able, and energetic service to all our clients notwithstanding these representations, but that is a judgment each of you must make for yourself. Etna should feel free to consult other, independent counsel before granting this waiver.
Please review the foregoing and, if Etna is willing to provide the requested waiver, execute it and return it to me by mail or email. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at the direct-dial number above. Thank you for your consideration and for the opportimity to represent Etna .

Good Morning,
There has been an unexpected update on the COPS money for 24/25. We just received the growth allocation for this year and it has increased once again more than expected. See below for a quick illustration:
19/20: $55,947.62
20/21: $56,726.58
21/22: $61,284.84
22/23; $65,271.25
23/24: $86,158.95
24/25: $94,663.46
This is about a 10% increase over last year's growth.
As per the COPS procedure this money needs to be budgeted for in your Law Enforcement budget for 24/25.1 understand that there may need to be some changes due to this larger than expected increase. So please submit/resubmit your budget so I can release these funds to you via the monthly Cities payments. No dire rush on this, I will release the funds once I have certification.
Please reach out to me or Jeff Heign if you have any issues or questions, Thank you.

Is this for Discussion S or are you requesting an Action D staff
Subject/ Request: Water/Sewer Bill Flat Charge
Rease provide a description oftherequest and attach supporting documentation:
Discuss charging the flat rates for water/sewer billing regardless of account status. Currently our billing system does not charge an account or print a bill if an account is "inactive." Inactive accounts are vacant homes, undeveloped empty property lots only connected to water, vacation homes or homes that are not a primary residence. Few lots have more than one water meter but only utilize one for the main residence.
The flat rate for an account only connected to water is $20.11 billed monthly. The flat rate for water & sewer is $57.46 monthly. There are approximately 40 inactive accounts some that have only a water connection. Undeveloped
When the account is inactive for three months the flat rate will be billed at 50%. □

Water: Things have been very busy. The contractor has completed the project, and we are getting everything working smoothly and calibrated with the new reservoir and chlorine analyzer and feed pump. We have 433 new meters installed and staff has spent a great deal of time getting all of them set up for mobile reading and the advancements and communication to the billing software this has been a difficult timely transition but I’m optimistic all the kinks will be worked out this billing cycle thank you Jenny, i know it’s been a headache. We continue to have occasional leaks in town, mostly concentrated on the upper area of town that we still have some older service laterals to be replaced. We are currently working towards a plan to start looking at some replacement tasks in that area.
Sewer: We have had a few historical problem areas that we are working on with some preventive work to hopefully prevent future problems. We also will be installing some manhole monitoring equipment here soon to help us get a better picture of the system flows and have remote monitoring capabilities. Starting to see some movement for grant opportunities for the wastewater side hopefully the city will be a good candidate for this funding to complete some items described in our sanitary sewer management plan currently in contact with the state and waiting for grant guidelines, timeline, application and more information.
Streets: Public works staff had a day to get out and do some crack sealing and it was very productive we are looking forward to being able to make our rounds across all areas that need it before the weather prevents us from doing so as well as hitting another round of pothole repair. We will also be making some time to complete concrete work and site preparation for the STAGE bus stop across from Rays.
Vehicle maintenance: Parts were received for the pump on engine 1411 that will be up next for repair still waiting for some bearings for the compressor has proven a bit difficult to get parts for the unit. We did some repairs on the PD 2017 Sierra motor mount, radiator, coolant reservoir, water pump, transmission leak are complete and will get new brake pads next week and hopefully that’s it for that vehicle for now © Oil change on M56, charger, Sierra and Silverado also done this period. Cal bid came to look at surplus vehicles with a plan to return later for pictures and finalizing process.
Parks: It has been a very busy summer for the park reservations and camping at the park seems to have slowed down and we will be shutting down and winterizing both parks forthe winter. We had a very large portion of one of the big oak trees come down near the entrance to the park that has been removed and cleaned up. The location next to the City Maintenance yard for yard debris and leaves is now open.

Ambulances:
M54: hydroboost leak fixed. New batteries Installed.
M55: Seal for the emergency brake fixed.
M56: AC recharged.
All 3 had the exterior buffed, rewaxed and ceramic on the fronts as unable to wash bugs off anymore. This will protect the body as well. Nothing had been done in over 4 years due to budget constraints and unfortunately, the paint was starting to show its wear.
Grants:
SAMSHA- Rural EMS Training grant. I am keeping watch for this to open to see if we will qualify. Although it is a training grant, the money that would be awarded would also help our day-to-day operations. It closes March 2025.
SAFER- Paid Recruitment/Retention Officer for the FD. Watching for opening date to apply for the FD for 2025. {The one that Fort Jones FD was just awarded)
Upcoming training/classes/events:
*We held our mandatory driver's course October 21. All team members are required to pass the full course initially and then the drivers only portion biannually. Usually, the fire departments also set up at the same time and we train together.
The Siskiyou Co Roads dept lends us cones in order to complete this. *APS will be at our station to do training Nov 13^^ for first responders. This will give us updated information on dementia and Alzheimer patients, what the role of Adult Protective Services Is and how we can help each other help the community. *A Public Safety First Aid and CPR class is being advertised at our station for Nov 15-17. ♦First of the Scene, what to do until help arrives. This is a free class for the community. It is scheduled at the Greenview Grange Nov 9^^.
MISC
*EHS FB game coverage 9/20, the second game in Sept was cxi'd due to threats to the school. There are 2 days in Oct and 1 in Nov that we will cover.
♦Finished helping with the park towels. 45 loads were done this year. ♦The % time EMT/Firefighter position to assist the ambulance and the FD that was discussed and created with the new budget Is on hold until the overall budget has been balanced.
As you recall. Chief Whitchurch informed council that the chief, assistant chief and secretary stipends were being waved to add to this extra cost. Also, 1 have cancelled the ambulance departments' pest control services to put additional funds towards this position.
♦Merging of the FDand ambulance is on hold per Mr. Mitchem, although the attorney sees no problem with this merge. ♦ Still have not heard any updates from Mr. Mitchem regarding my request to add an ALS Dry Run fee to our ambulance fee schedule. As you'll recall, this additional fee to our rates was a recommendation from Angelo, the owner of Mount Shasta Ambulance. They have this rate in their fee schedule and were able to Invoice, and recoup costs during the Shelly Fire for responses that resulted in >1 hr of time commitment of their crew/unit without a patient transport. We also had those type of calls during the Shelly Fire and were not able to recoup our costs. ♦An update to our protocols to add a low-cost medication was approved by our regional Medical Director at S-SV because of a proposal that I submitted. This will allow us to provide a higher-level care to our region, especially our rural area. ♦At no additional cost to the city, I will be receiving certification in high fidelity simulation training. We house one of the 2 simulation mannequins bought by SSV. This additional training will allow us to utilize the mannequin to its full educational potential for our first responders.
