Jared explained the options to the Council. The seat can either be appointed, 1 or the vacant seat can go to an election for June 2026 and would be filled until the next election November 2026 to expire in 2028 which would be costly.

Etna City Council
Etna, CA 96027
Dear Members of the Etna City Council,
I am writing to formally express my intention to serve on the Etna City Council. As a fifth- generation resident of Scott Valley, my roots in this community run deep. Etna has always been home, and it is where my wife and I are proud to raise our children and invest in the future of our town.

Together with my father and brother, I help run our family business, which has been serving the community for nearly 35 years. Through that work, I have gained firsthand knowledge of the values, needs, and challenges faced by our residents, families, and small businesses. I believe this experience uniquely equips me to serve with both perspective and responsibility.

My decision to seek this position comes from a deep commitment to preserving Etna's small-town character while also supporting opportunities for growth and prosperity. I will work to ensure that decisions made by the council reflect the long-term interests of our residents, foster open communication, and promote a sustainable future for families like mine who have been here for generations-and those just beginning to call Etna home.

It would be an honor to serve the people of Etna in this role. Thank you for your time, your service, and your consideration of my intention. I look forward to the opportunity to bring dedication, collaboration, and a strong community perspective to the City Council.

Sincerely,
Matthew Eastlick

ETNA CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Clint Whitchurch, Fire Chief
Andrew L. Jared, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: September 22, 2025
SUBJECT: Adoption of Urgency Ordinance and Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 228 to Designate Fire Hazard Severity Zones, and Amend Section 15.16.010 of the Etna Municipal Code Regarding Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

Action Requested
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Introduce and waive the full reading of Ordinance 228 (Attachment 2) Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones as recommended by the State Fire Marshal, and amending section 15.16.010 of the Etna Municipal Code, by reading of the following ordinance by title only:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ETNA, CALIFORNIA

ADOPTING THE ETNA FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES MAP AND AMENDING SECTION 15.16.010 OF CHAPTER 15.16 "VERY HIGH FIRE SEVERITY ZONES" OF TITLE 15 OF THE OF THE ETNA MUNICIPAL CODE

2. Waive the full reading of Urgency Ordinance 25-XXXX (Attachment 3) Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones as recommended by the State Fire Marshal. and amending section 15.16.010 of the Etna Municipal Code, by readins of the following ordinance by title only:

AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ETNA,

CALIFORNIA ADOPTING THE ETNA FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES MAP AND AMENDING SECTION 15.16.010 OF CHAPTER 15.16 "VERY HIGH FIRE SEVERITY ZONES" OF TITLE 15 OF THE OF THE ETNA MUNICIPAL CODE Background
393608.1
Fire Hazard Severity Zone Designation
In February 2025, the Office of the State Fire Marshal released the maps showing Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) for counties in northern California, based on new state law. These FHSZs maps showed Local Responsibility Areas (i.e., cities) with moderate, high and very high FHSZ's based on standardized statewide criteria. The map is attached to this staff report as Attachment 1 and shows that the City has only very high FHSZs within the City of Etna.

In 2009, the City Council of Etna designated very high fire hazard severity zones as recommended by the Director of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in its December 2008 map. Such mat is referenced in section 15.16.010 in the Etna Municipal Code.

In September 2021, Senate Bill 63 was approved by Governor Newsom. Senate Bill 63 included an act to amend California Government Code Section 51178. The amendment was effective on January 1, 2022, and directed the State Fire Marshal to identify areas in the state as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones (FHSZ) based on consistent statewide criteria and the severity of the fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. In addition, moderate, high, and very high FHSZs are based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors that have been identified by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Additional background information from Cal Fire is provided as Attachment 4.

Information from the California Department of Insurance regarding Q&A's about Insurance and Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps is provided as Attachment 5.

In September 2022, Assembly Bill 211 was approved by Governor Newsom. Assembly Bill 211 amended California Government Code Section 51179 and requires local agencies to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high FHSZs within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.

An agency may not adopt a FHSZ that decreases the level of fire hazard severity zone as identified by the State Fire Marshal for any area within the jurisdiction of the local agency, and may only increase the level of fire hazard severity zone as identified by the State Fire Marshal for any area within the jurisdiction of the local agency. (Gov. Code sec. 51179(b)(3)).

Though State law does not allow a local agency to decrease the FHSZ designation, a local agency may increase the designation of a particular area if a local agency can make findings that it is necessary for the effective fire protection within the area. (Gov. Code sec. 51179(b)(1) and (2)). Such discretion can allow an agency to apply very high, high, and moderate designations to areas not otherwise identified in the map prepared by the 393608.1
State Fire Marshal. As all the area within the City of Etna is designated Very High Fire Severity Zone, there is no discretion to amend the map in any way.

Municipal Code Amendments
The substance of Chapter 15.16 is minor, only designating the map via section

15.16.010. The only required change is that section 15.16.010 needs to be amended to reflect the current date of the current map. No other changes are recommended or allowed given that the entire city is designated Very High FHSZ.

Alternatives to Recommended Action
There are no alternatives for the City Council to proceed in a different manner or pursue an alternative approach as no alternative map approaches are available given that the entire city is designated as Very High FHSZ.

CEQA Requirements
The City staff have evaluated the proposed Ordinance and determined that it is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3), 15303, and 15308 on the grounds that it can be seen with certainty that the Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment.

To the extent this is a project under CEQA, it is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land), 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations), 15307 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources), and 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment).

Fiscal Impact
None.

What is a Fire Hazard Severity Zone?
The State Fire Marshal shall identify areas in the State as Moderate, High, and Very High Hazard Severity Zones based on consistent statewide criteria and the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. - CA GOM 5
When did Fire Hazard Severity Zones begin in Local Responsibility Area? Assembly Bill 337 (Bates 1992), prompted by the devastating Oakland Hills fire of 1991, calls for CAL FIRE to evaluate fire hazard severity in local responsibility area and to make a recommendation to the local jurisdiction where Very High FHSZ exist. - CA GOV 51175 What do Fire Hazard Severity Zones measure?
The maps evaluate "Hazard", not "Risk". Hazard is based on physical conditions that create expected fire behavior over a 50-year period without considering short-term modifications. Risk is the potential damage a fire can do to the area under existing conditions, including fuel reduction projects, defensible space, and ignition resistant building construction. - asimitre ca gpy Will the new Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps affect my insurance? Insurance companies use risk models, which differ from hazard models, because they consider the susceptibility of a structure to damage from fire and other short-term factors that are not included in hazard modeling, Insurance risk models incorporate additional factors that change more frequently than those that CAL FIRE includes in its hazard mapping, which is built to remain steady. - Califoria Departmento

Is there an easy way to determine the Fire Hazard Severity Zone of my property? You can search by address to find your current designation on the website: osfm.fire.ca.gov/ihs Why are Fire Hazard Severity Zones being updated?
The hazard maps are being updated to more accurately reflect the zones in Califomia that are susceptible to wildfire. The process will incorporate new science in local climate data and improved fire assessment modeling in determining hazard ratings. - PRC 4125 and GO 51178 What are the key elements of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Model? The model has two key elements: probability of an area burning and expected fire behavior under extreme fuel and weather conditions. The factors considered in determining fire hazard within wildland areas is fire history, flame length, terrain, local weather, and potential fuel over a 50-year period.

Outside of wildlands, the model considers factors that might lead to buildings being threatened, including terrain, weather, urban vegetation cover, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, fire history, and fire hazard in nearby wildlands. This is not a structure loss model, as key information regarding structure ignition is not included. - osim. fire ca.gov/ fhisz
Why does the model place an emphasis on the spread of embers? Embers spread wildfire because they can travel long distances in the wind and ignite vegetation, roofs, attics (by getting into vents), and decks. - gsfm.ire.ca.gov/ihsz What is the difference between SRA and LRA?
State Responsibility Area (SRA) is a legal term defining the area where the State has financial responsibility for wildland fire protection and prevention. - CA PRC 4102 Local Responsibility Area (LRA) includes incorporated cities, urban regions, agriculture lands, and portions of the desert where the local government is responsible for wildfire protection. - CA PRC 4125 How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined in Local Responsibility Areas?

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions CAL
FIRE
SINCE 1836
General
What is a Fire Hazard Severity Zone or FHSZ?
Public Resource Code 4202; The State Fire Marshal shall classify lands within State Responsibility Areas into Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Each zone shall embrace relatively homogeneous lands and shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors present, including areas where winds have been identified by the department as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Government Code 51178; The State Fire Marshal shall identify areas in the state as Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors including areas where winds have been identified by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Will the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones affect my ability to get or maintain insurance? Insurance companies use risk models, which differ from hazard models, because they consider the susceptibility of a structure to damage from fire and other short-term factors that are not included in hazard modeling. It is unlikely that insurance risk models would utilize CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones as a factor, but much of the same data that is used in the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model are likely included in the insurance companies' risk models. However, insurance risk models incorporate many additional factors and that change more frequently than those that CAL FIRE includes in its hazard mapping, which is built to remain steady for the next 10+ years.

What do Fire Hazard Severity Zones measure?
The Fire Hazard Severity Zone map reflects "hazard," not "risk". The map is like flood zone maps, where lands are described in terms of the probability level of a particular area being inundated by floodwaters, and not specifically prescriptive of impacts. "Hazard" is based on the physical conditions that create a likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50-year period without considering mitigation measures such as home hardening, recent wildfire, or fuel reduction efforts.
"Risk" is the potential damage a fire can do to the area under existing conditions, accounting for any modifications such as fuel reduction projects, defensible space, and ignition resistant building construction.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions CAL
FIRE
SINCE 1665
General
What are the key elements of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model? The fire hazard severity model for wildland fire has two key elements: probability of an area burning and expected fire behavior under extreme fuel and weather conditions. The zones reflect areas that have similar burn probabilities and fire behavior characteristics. The factors considered in determining fire hazard within wildland areas are fire history, flame length, terrain, local weather, and potential fuel over a 50-year period. Outside of wildlands, the model considers factors that might lead to buildings being threatened, including terrain, weather, urban vegetation cover, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, fire history, and fire hazard in nearby wildlands.

FHSZs are not a structure loss model, as key information regarding structure ignition (such as roof type, etc.) is not included
Where do Fire Hazard Severity Zones apply?
Fire Hazard Severity Zones are found in areas where the state has financial responsibility for wildfire protection and prevention, called the State Responsibility Area. More than 31 million acres are in this area. Under Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021) Government Code 51178 was amended to also identify the Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zones with the Very High in Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

What are the uses of Fire Hazard Severity Zones?
The zones are used for several purposes including to designate areas where California's defensible space standards and wildland urban interface building codes are required. They can be a factor in real estate disclosure, and local governments may consider them in their general plan.

When were the maps last updated?
In 2007, CAL FIRE updated the FHSZs for the entire State Responsibility Area (SRA). Between 2008- 2011 the department worked with local governments to make recommendations of the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones within Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

Why are fire hazard severity maps being updated?
The hazard maps are being updated to more accurately reflect the zones in California that are susceptible to wildfire. The hazard mapping process will incorporate new science in local climate data and improved fire assessment modeling in determining hazard ratings.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions CAL
FIRE
SINCE 1885
General
How do the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps differ from California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) High Fire Threat District Maps?
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) sponsored map, known as "CPUC High Fire Threat District Map" (HFTD), includes similar factors as those in the FHSZ maps, however the CPUC HFTD Map is designed specifically for identifying areas where there is an increased risk for utility associated wildfires. As such, the CPUC map includes fire hazards associated with historical powerline-caused wildfires, current fuel conditions, and scores areas based on where fires start, as opposed to where potential fires may cause impacts.

How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined?
CAL FIRE used the best available science and data to develop, and field test a model that served as the basis of zone assignments. The model evaluated the probability of the area burning and potential fire behavior in the area. Many factors were included such as fire history, vegetation, flame length, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, terrain, and weather.

What new data will be included in the new model, and how does this differ from the previous model?
A 2 km grid of climate data covering the years 2003-2018 is being used in the update. The previous model used stock weather inputs across the state to calculate wildland fire intensity scores. The updated model will adjust fire intensity scores based on the most extreme fire weather at a given location, considering temperature, humidity, and wind speed. In addition, ember transport is being modeled based on local distributions of observed wind speed and direction values instead of using a generic buffer distance for urban areas adjacent to wildlands.

Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? In wildland areas, zone edges are a result of the way zones are delineated. Specifically, zones represent areas of similar slope and fuel potential. Zone boundaries divide zones based on geographic and vegetation features that align with fire hazard potential; although, at a local scale, it may appear that the immediate area is similar on both sides of the edge. The class value within a zone is based on the average hazard score across the whole zone, so areas that are in the same zone but not immediately adjacent to a local area can have an influence on the final zone classification. Classification outside of wildland areas is based on the fire hazard of the adjacent wildland and the probability of flames and embers threatening buildings.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
CAL
FIRE
SINCE 1686
General
Why does the model place an emphasis on the spread of embers? Embers spread wildfire because they can travel long distances in the wind and ignite vegetation, roofs, attics (by getting into vents), and decks.

Why do waterbodies have a Fire Hazard Severity Zone Classification? All areas in State Responsibility Area, including water bodies, require a Fire Hazard Severity Zone designation. The 2007 FHSZ maps zoned all water as Moderate by default. In the 2023 FHSZ model we added a buffer of FHSZ from the surrounding wildland into water bodies to account for potential threat of embers to buildings on docks and house boats, as well as variation in reservoir height that occurs with drought.

How does CAL FIRE assist Local Governments in Fire Hazard Severity Zones? CAL FIRE's Land Use Planning Program is a specialized unit that provides support to local governments by providing fire safety expertise on the State's wildland urban interface building codes, wildfire safety codes, as well as helping in the development of the safety elements in general plans.

State Responsibility Area
What is State Responsibility Area or SRA?
SRA is a legal term defining the area where the state has financial responsibility for wildland fire protection and prevention. Incorporated cities and federal ownership are not included. Within the SRA, CAL FIRE is responsible for fire prevention and suppression. There are more than 31 million acres in SRA, with an estimated 1.7 million people and 800,000 existing homes.

How is State Responsibility Area determined?
The Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (Board) classifies land as State Responsibility Area. The legal definition of SRA is found in the Public Resources Code Section 4125. The Board has developed detailed procedures to classify lands as State Responsibility Area. Lands are removed from SRA when they become incorporated by a city, change in ownership to the federal government, become more densely populated, or are converted to intensive agriculture that minimizes the risk of wildfire. While some lands are removed from SRA automatically, the Board typically reviews changes every five years.

What Fire Hazard Severity Zones are in State Responsibility Area? All of the State Responsibility Area is in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Lands are either ranked as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

What are the wildland urban interface (WUI) building codes in State Responsibility Area? The WUl building codes (California Building Code (CBC) Chapter 7A) reduce the risk of embers fanned by wind-blown wildfires from igniting buildings. The codes for roofing, siding, decking, windows, and vents apply throughout all State Responsibility Area regardless of the fire hazard severity ranking. Ember-resistant building materials can be found at:

FIRE
SINCE 1885
State Responsibility Area
What is the difference between the various Fire Hazard Severity Zones? Classification of a wildland zone as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard is based on the average hazard across the area included in the zone, which have a minimum size of 200 acres. In wildlands, hazard is a function of modeled flame length under the worst conditions and annual burn probability. Both these factors generally increase with increasing hazard level, but there may be instances where one value is Very High and the other is low, pushing the overall hazard into a more intermediate ranking. On average, both modeled flame length and burn probability increase by roughly 40-60% between hazard classes.

Is the GIS data for Fire Hazard Severity Zones available for download? The data inputs used to develop the Fire Hazard Severity Zones are identified in the Initial Statement of Reasons (ISOR) Title 19 Development (ca.gov). CAL FIRE has developed an additional data package which consists of sequential modeling steps, including any data inputs that were not already publicly available and referenced in the ISOR. The data package encompasses 34 spatial datasets and 8 tables, provided in raster, polygon, and table format. These datasets are formatted for Esri ArcGIS software, except for four tables provided in Excel. Ten of the datasets are updated versions used to produce an edited SRA FHSZ map following the public comment period that ended April 4, 2023. Upon formal adoption of the FHSZ map, the final SRA FHSZ geospatial data file will become available. The data package is available on the FHSZ website Fire Hazard Severity Zones (ca.gov) under the science and methods banner.

Local Responsibility Area
What is Local Responsibility Area or LRA?
Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) are incorporated cities, urban regions, agriculture lands, and portions of the desert where the local government is responsible for wildfire protection. This is typically provided by city fire departments, fire protection districts, counties, and by CAL FIRE under contract.

When did Fire Hazard Severity Zones begin in Local Responsibility Area? Assembly Bill 337 (Bates, 1992) prompted by the devastating Oakland Hills Fire of 1991, calls for CAL FIRE to evaluate fire hazard severity in Local Responsibility Area and to make a recommendation to the local jurisdiction where Very High FHSZ exist. Government Code 51175 then provides direction for the local jurisdiction to take appropriate action.

How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined in Local Responsibility Areas? CAL FIRE uses an extension of the State Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone model as the basis for evaluating fire hazard in Local Responsibility Area. The Local Responsibility Area hazard rating reflects flame and ember intrusion from adjacent wildlands and from flammable vegetation in the urban area.

What are the requirements for landowners in Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas?
California's WUI building codes (CBC Chapter 7A) apply to the design and construction of new buildings located in High and Very High FHSZs in Local Responsibility Areas. Local ordinances may require ignition resistant construction for remodel projects. Check with your local building department to determine which ignition resistant building codes apply to your project. In addition, Government Code Section 51182 calls for defensible space clearance and other wildland fire safety practices for buildings. Owners are also required to make a natural hazard disclosure as part of a real estate transfer. For information regarding home hardening and defensible space clearance, visit www.readyforwildfire.org:

Does the designation of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area trigger the 100-foot clearance requirement?
Yes, per Government Code 51182 unless a local government has passed a more stringent requirement, the 100-foot defensible space clearance applies. For information regarding home hardening and defensible space clearance, visit www.readyforwildfire.org.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions CAL

Local Responsibility Area
What is the process for developing Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area? CAL FIRE uses the same modeling data that is used to map the State Responsibility Area. The map, along with a model ordinance, are then sent to the governing body for adoption.

How are the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones impacting development? Many of the changes expanding Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas have been supported by the building industry. CAL FIRE works closely with the building industry when setting various building codes and defensible space requirements, so we are working together to not affect development itself but to make sure development matches the hazards of that area.

When will the Local Responsibility Area Map be released? The Local Responsibility Area map process will happen after the State Responsibility Area process has been completed, which is estimated to occur in winter of 2025.

Why haven't Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes been classified before in the Local Responsibility Area?
New legislation, Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021), now requires the adoption of all three Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes in the Local Responsibility Area. Previously only Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones were required for adoption in Local Responsibility Areas.

Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? In non-wildland areas, zone edges occur based on distance to the wildland edge. Because hazard in these areas is largely determined by incoming embers from adjacent wildland, urban areas that are similar in vegetation type and housing density may have a change in FHSZ class as the distance to the wildland edge increases. Areas immediately adjacent to wildland receive the same FHSZ score as that wildland where fire originates, and the model then produces lower scores as the distance to wildland edge increases.

This bill would declare that the prevention of fires is not a municipal affair but is instead, a matter of statewide concern, and would make a finding and declaration of the Legislature that its provisions apply to all local agencies, including, but not limited to, charter cities, charter counties, and charter cities and counties. The bill would prohibit that finding from limiting the authority of a local agency, as defined, from imposing more restrictive fire and panic safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law.

The bill would state that it is not the intent of the Legislature to limit or restrict the authority of a local agency to impose more restrictive fire and panic safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law.

This bill would require the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection to identify areas in the state as very high fire hazard severity zones within all counties pursuant to a prescribed schedule. The bill would require local agencies, as defined, to designate, by ordinance, very high fire hazard severity zones in their jurisdiction after receiving recommendations from the director, except as prescribed. The bill would authorize local agencies to include or exclude areas following certain findings and would require changes made by local agencies to be final and not rebuttable by the director. By requiring local agencies to designate very high fire hazard severity zones within their jurisdictions, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the State Fire Marshal to prepare and adopt a model ordinance that provides for the establishment of any high fire hazard security zones.

(2) Under existing law, any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains any building or structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area or forest-covered lands, brush-covered lands, or grass-covered lands, or any land that is covered with flammable material, is required to undertake specified fire protection measures, including the maintenance of specified firebreaks.

The bill would enact requirements of this nature for any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains, any occupied dwelling or occupied structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area, forest-covered land, brush-covered land, grass-covered land, or land covered with flammable material, which area or land is within a very high fire hazard severity zone, as described in (1).

The bill would authorize local agencies to exempt certain structures and would exempt certain land or water areas.

The bill would make violation of these requirements an infraction or misdemeanor, as specified, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime, and would specify related matters.

This bill would require local agencies to notify owners of property of violation and would authorize local agencies to correct the conditions and make a lien upon the property, as prescribed. By creating these requirements, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The bill would permit a violation of these requirements to be considered a public nuisance, as specified.
(3) Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal to adopt, amend, and repeal regulations for roof coverings and openings into the attic areas of buildings in those fire hazard severity zones in state responsibility lands as designated by the director. Existing law requires the director to classify lands within state responsibility areas into fire hazard severity zones.

This bill would instead require the State Fire Marshal to propose, and would require the State Building Standards Commission to adopt, amend, and repeal those regulations. The bill would also require the State Fire Marshal to propose, and would require the State Building Standards Commission to adopt, amend, and repeal, those regulations for buildings in very high fire hazard severity zones in state responsibility lands, designated by the director, and in very high fire hazard severity zones as described in (1). The bill would require roofs on all new buildings and certain existing buildings in both of those zones to be at least a class B roof that complies with Standard 32-7 of the Uniform Building Code, as adopted in the California Building Standards Code. The bill would impose requirements on installers and roofing materials and make other related changes. The bill would exempt historic buildings, as defined, from these provisions.

Increasing Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ)
Area and Designation
Government Code section 51179 requires a local agency to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high FHSZ within 120 days of receiving the identified FHSZ's from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.

The law does not allow for a local jurisdiction to request changes or provide comments to the State Fire Marshal on the FHSZ designations. However, a local agency may choose to increase the designation of a FHSZ from the FHSZ identified by the State Fire Marshal, or designate areas as having a FHSZ that were not designated in a FHSZ by the State Fire Marshal. This may occur because FHSZ zone edges in the maps and data from the State Fire Marshal are not aligned with parcel boundaries or roads that some may consider for lines of convenance when adopting ordinances. A local agency is not allowed to reduce the designation of a FHSZ classification from the State Fire Marshal (i.e. a local agency cannot make an area designated as High by the State Fire Marshal, Moderate in its adopted ordinance).

However, a local jurisdiction can increase the designation from the one identified by the State Fire Marshal. If a local agency decides to increase the designation of a FHSZ, it may do so if it does the following:

1. If increasing the designation to Very High, a local agency must make a finding supported by substantial evidence in the record that the requirements of Government Code section 51182 are necessary for effective fire protection.

2. If increasing the designation to Moderate or High, a local agency may do this at its discretion.

If a local agency decides to include areas in its FHSZ adopted ordinance not identified as being in a FHSZ by the State Fire Marshal, it may include those areas if it does the following:

1. If including areas not identified as being in a FHSZ and designating it as Very High, a local agency must make a finding supported by substantial evidence in the record that the requirements of Government Code section 51182 are necessary for effective fire protection.

2. If including areas not identified as being in a FHSZ and designating it as Moderate or High, a local agency may do this at its discretion.

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER
California Department of Insurance
Q&A- Insurance and CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps

1. How will the updated CAL FIRE maps affect insurance availability and affordability? CAL FIRE's maps are intended to drive local planning decisions, not insurance decisions. Under Commissioner Lara's new regulation finalized in October 2022, insurance companies must provide discounts for wildfire safety actions such as community mitigation and home-hardening, which CAL FIRE's maps do not assess. In addition, insurance companies are already using risk analysis tools and models that go beyond CAL FIRE's proposed maps in determining what properties they will underwrite.

Commissioner Lara's new wildfire safety regulation will help increase access to insurance by promoting wildfire safety across the state. Reducing wildfire risks throughout the state is the primary way we can make insurance more available and affordable, and our regulation is a major step towards that goal. CAL FIRE's maps support that goal through improving public education about hazard and the need for safety preparation.

2. How will these maps benefit the public?
Public education about where current wildfire hazards exist is essential to reducing the threat to local communities and maintaining access to available and affordable insurance. When communities know and understand their risks, they can plan and prepare.

In addition, the Department's first-ever report on climate insurance recommended updated wildfire hazard mapping to improve public safety.

3. If you are a homeowner and your zone changed from High Hazard to Very High Hazard, will this impact your insurance premiums or renewal ability? For many years, insurance companies have been using alternate wildfire risk tools for determining where they will write and renew policies, and how much premium to charge a policyholder, not the Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps. Therefore, a change in designation on the maps for a single homeowner is unlikely to affect their insurance. The reality is that more accurate risk information enables homeowners and communities to reduce their wildfire risks, and Commissioner Lara's new wildfire mitigation regulation clarifies what actions you should take to reduce wildfire risks. Once that regulation is fully implemented, if a homeowner or business owner takes those risk mitigation actions, they will be able to see a discount in their insurance premium. insurance.ca.gov 800-927-4357

4. How is the state addressing wildfire mitigation?
By design, CAL FIRE's maps are focused on long-range wildfire hazard, which includes only certain variables, like wind, vegetation, ember production and movement, climate, topography, and fire history. CAL FIRE's maps will give up to date information to communities about the level of wildfire hazard they face, which could help target resources at the state and local level. Expanded state grant programs and Commissioner Lara's new wildfire safety regulation are aimed at reducing wildfire risks to communities through programs such as Firewise USA and the new Fire Risk Reduction Community designation from the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection. insurance.ca.gov 800-927-4357

CORPORATE ANORPORATES CITY OF ETNA

STAFF REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
UNE 10.1004 September 22, 2025

FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE UPDATE
SUMMARY: The project consists of a city-initiated update to the City's Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance in advance of updates to FEMA's Preliminary Flood Insurance Study report and Flood Insurance Rate Map for the City, which will become effective at the end of this year. An update to the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance is necessary prior to the report and map becoming effective for the City to maintain eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program.

REQUEST OF CITY The City Council is being asked to: (1) Review the draft changes to Title 14, COUNCIL: Flood Damage Prevention; 2) Consider an exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); (3) Provide direction to staff regarding any desired changes; and (4) If no further revisions are desired, adopt the draft update.

ENVIRONMENTAL Exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections RECOMMENDATION: 15061(b)(3) and 15308.

SUGGESTED To adopt the draft update, three suggested motions are provided below. Each MOTIONS: motion should be made in sequence, with subsequent motions made only after the preceding motion has been successfully caried.
1) I move that we make the finding that the project does not have the potential to result in a significant adverse effect on the environment and is exempt environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15308.
2) I move that we introduce Ordinance 229, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Etna Amending Title 14, Flood Damage Prevention, of the Etna Municipal Code by title only.
3) I move that we waive further reading of Ordinance 229 and that we direct staff to bring the ordinance back for adoption at the next regular meeting.

ATTACHMENTS: A. Draft Ordinance 229, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Etna Amending Title 14, Flood Damage Prevention, of the Etna Municipal Code Exhibit A - Title 14, Flood Damage Prevention
B. Letter from FEMA to Mayor Munson, June 11, 2025

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a federal program managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that aims to reduce the financial impact of floods on individuals and communities in the United States. The NFIP was established by Congress in 1968 due to the lack of Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance Update Page 1
available and affordable private flood insurance and increasing costs of federal disaster assistance after flood events.

The NFIP makes flood insurance available to property owners, renters, and businesses in participating communities. Over 22,000 communities, including the City of Etna, participate in the NFIP. To participate, communities must adopt and enforce floodplain development regulations that meet the NFIP's minimum requirements for reducing flood effects. In Etna, these regulations are found in Title 14 (Flood Damage Prevention) of the Etna Municipal Code. Title 14 was adopted by the City Council on August 3, 2009, and can be viewed online at: https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Etna/#!/Etna14/Etna14.html.

On June 11 of this year, FEMA notified Mayor Munson that it had completed an update to the Preliminary Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the City of Etna. According to FEMA, the new FIS and FIRM will become effective on December 11, 2025. Further, because the updated FIS report has been completed, certain additional requirements must be met under Section 1361 of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, within six months from the date of FEMA's letter (i.e., December 11, 2025). Among the requirements, the City must amend its existing flood regulations to incorporate additional requirements of 44 CFR Part 60.3(d). To ensure the City's floodplain development regulations meet the requirements of 44 CFR Part 60.3(d), FEMA provided the City with recommended edits to Title 14 (Flood Damage Prevention).

ENVIRONMENTAL RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the proposed project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines under the "commonsense exemption" that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Staff recommends that the project is further exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for the Protection of the Environment). Exempt actions under Section 15308 include those taken by regulatory agencies, as authorized by state or local ordinance, to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection of the environment. If the City Council concurs, it would need to make the finding that the project is exempt from CEQA prior to project approval. As such, a finding to this effect has been incorporated into the first of three suggested motions on page one of this staff report as well as draft Ordinance 229 (see Attachment A).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the City Council consider the totality of the record before it, including all public comments received, and should the City Council determine that the project as proposed would not have a significant impact on the environment, staff recommends that the Council:
• Adopt Ordinance 229, An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Etna Amending Title 14, Flood Damage Prevention, of the Etna Municipal Code.

The Legislature of the State of California has in Government Code Sections 65302, 65560, and 65800 conferred upon local governments the authority to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry.

Therefore, the city council of City of Etna does hereby adopt the following floodplain management regulations.

16.20.020 Findings of fact.

A. The flood hazard areas of City of Etna are subject to periodic inundation which may health, safety, and general welfare.

B. These flood losses are caused by uses that are inadequately elevated, floodproofed, or protected from flood damage. The cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazard which increase flood heights and velocities also contributes to flood losses.

16.20.030 Statement of purpose.

It is the purpose of this title to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by legally enforceable regulations applied uniformly throughout the community to all publicly 412002.1
and privately owned land within flood-prone, mudslide (i.e., mudflow) or flood related erosion areas. These regulations are designed to:

A. Protect human life and health;
B. Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects; C. Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public;
D. Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
E. Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains; electric, telephone and sewer lines; and streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard;
F. Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future blighted areas caused by flood damage;
G. Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard; and
H. Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions.

16.20.040 Methods of reducing flood losses.

In order to accomplish its purposes, this title includes regulations to:

A. Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or flood heights or velocities;
Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction; Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel floodwaters; C. Control filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood damage; and
D. Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas. 2 CHAPTER 14.04

5. All Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs) for flood control projects are approved prior to the issuance of building permits. Building permits must not be issued based on conditional letters of map revision (CLOMRs). Approved CLOMRs allow construction of the proposed flood control project and land preparation as specified in the "start of construction" definition.

6. Review all permit applications and plans to determine whether proposed 14 development is located in flood hazard areas.

B. Development of Substantial Improvement and Substantial Damage Procedures.

1. Using | FEMA publication FEMA 213, "Answers to Questions About Substantially Damaged Buildings," develop detailed procedures for identifying nd administering requirements for substantial improvement and substantia lamage, to include defining "Market Value.'

2. Assure procedures are coordinated with other departments/divisions and implemented by community staff.

Review, Use, and Development of Other Base Flood Data. When base flood elevation data has not been provided in accordance with Section 14.06.020 (Basis for establishing the areas of special flood hazard), the floodplain administrator shall obtain, review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data available from a federal or state agency, or other source, in order to administer Chapter 14.10 (Provision for Flood Hazard Reduction).

NOTE: A base flood elevation may be obtained using one of two methods from the FEMA publication, FEMA 265, "Managing Floodplain Development in Approximate Zone A Areas - A Guide for Obtaining and Developing Base (100-year) Flood Elevations" dated July 1995.

D. Notification of Other Agencies.

1. Alteration or Relocation of a Watercourse.

C. If subsections (A) and (B) of this section are satisfied, all new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development shall comply with all other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of this chapter.

CHAPTER 14.12

FLOOD VARIANCE PROCEDURE
Sections

14.12.010 Nature of variances.

14.12.020 Conditions for variances.

14.12.030 Appeal board.

14.12.040 Nature of variances.

16.20.110 Nature of variances.

The issuance of a variance is for floodplain management purposes only. Insurance premium rates are determined by statute according to actuarial risk and will not be modified by the granting of a variance. The variance criteria set forth in this section of the title are based on the general principle of zoning law that variances pertain to a piece of property and are not personal in nature. A variance may be granted for a parcel of property with physical characteristics so unusual that complying with the requirements of this title would create an exceptional hardship to the applicant or the surrounding property owners. The characteristics must be unique to the property and not be shared by adjacent parcels. The unique characteristic must pertain to the land itself, not to the structure, its inhabitants, or the property owners.

It is the duty of the city council to help protect its citizens from flooding. This need is so compelling and the implications of the cost of insuring a structure built below flood level are so serious that variances from the flood elevation or from other requirements in the flood ordinance are quite rare. The long-term goal of preventing and reducing flood loss and damage can only be met if variances are strictly limited. Therefore, the variance guidelines provided in this title are more detailed and contain multiple provisions that must be met before a variance can be properly granted. The criteria are designed to screen out those situations in which alternatives other than a variance are more appropriate.

16.20.120 Conditions for variances.

A. Generally, variances may be issued for new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing that the procedures of Chapter 14.08 (Administration) and Chapter 14.10 (Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction) have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond one-half acre, the technical 22 justification required for issuing the variance increases.

B. Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of "historic structures," as defined in Chapter 14.04 (Definitions), upon a determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure's continued designation as an historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.

C. Variances shall not be issued within any mapped regulatory floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.

D. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the "minimum necessary" considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. "Minimum necessary" means to afford relief with a minimum of deviation from the requirements of this title. For example, in the case of variances to an elevation requirement, this means the city council need not grant permission for the applicant to build at grade, or even to whatever elevation the applicant proposes, but only to that elevation which the city council believes will both provide relief and preserve the integrity of the local ordinance.

E. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice over the signature of a community official that:

1. The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as $25.00 for $100.00 of insurance coverage; and

2. Such construction below the base flood level increases risks to life and property. It is recommended that a copy of the notice shall be recorded by the floodplain administrator in the office of the Siskiyou County recorder and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of title of the affected parcel of land.

F. The floodplain administrator will maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for their issuance, and report such variances issued in its biennial report submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

16.20.130 Appeal board.

Z. In passing upon requests for variances, the city council shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this title, and the:

1. Danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;

2. Danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; Susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the existing individual owner and future owners of the property;
Importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community; Necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;

6. Availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage;
23 Compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development;

8. Relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for that area;

9. Safety of access to the property in time of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles;

10. Expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the flood waters expected at the site; and

11. Costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water system, and streets and bridges.

AA. Variances shall only be issued upon a:

1. Showing of good and sufficient cause;

2. Determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; and
Determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, or extraordinary public expense, create a nuisance (see "Public safety and nuisance"), cause fraud and victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.

BB. Variances may be issued for new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use; provided, that the provisions of this section are satisfied and that the structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damages during the base flood and does not result in additional threats to public safety and does not create a public nuisance.

CC. Upon consideration of the factors of subsection (A) of Section 14.12.020 (Conditions for variances) and the purposes of this title, the city council may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this title.

Team members:
1 team member that was recently hired is now driving on calls as the 3"d person, should be cut loose soon. 1 team member joined the Marines and has left the area. 1 team member is starting Paramedic school in October so availability will be limited. 1 team member is moving out of state soon.

MISC
*Continue to assist the fire and police departments as needed. *We will be providing CPR certification courses for graduating seniors at EHS. I am working on our contract. *Working on an in-house EMT program. This will hopefully allow us to add team members easier as well as bring money to the department.
*Working with the team from the UCLA CPC at the state level to promote accessibility and funding for underserved areas, such as our rural area. This is a proactive approach to possible more Medicare and Medi-caid reimbursement cuts to ensure we can continue to provide quality prehospital care in Scott Valley.
