REPORTS & CORRESPONDANCE
Ft. Jones Police Chief’s Monthly Report
June 2022
Happy summer everyone. Below you will find an update and information to the many things occurring around our little town. We have had a lot of activity as the summer months approach us with much of it being very positive and exciting. Also attached you will find statistics for the month of June including case reports and calls for service. These reports include addresses and a basic description of the call for service. Some of the information pertaining to the call has been redacted to ensure the privacy of those involved. If there is ever a time council needs additional information pertaining to a case, please see the police department for details and releasable information. Also remember we encourage our constituents as well as council to come out for a ride along from time to time. This is a great opportunity to see firsthand what is going on in town as well as see what our communities’ needs are.

Traffic- As we continue to see an uptick in traffic related to the time of year and events happening in and around town, we also have increased our presents in problematic areas. In most cases having a patrol car present reminds drivers to obey traffic related laws and helps keep them cognizant of what’s going on around them. However even with the implementation of strategic proactive measures, there are often those that continue to violate traffic laws.

These drivers are cited which in most cases resolves the issue. Please be vigilant while out walking or driving our town streets and let us know if you see anything that needs to be address so we can resolve the issue making our town a safer place to be. The police department was also able to attend recent training in making our town streets safer and easier to navigate. We are exited of the possibilities and appreciate being able to help in the process.

Schools- We continue to work with our school district in the attempt to create policy and procedure to effectively make our schools safer and proactive in our stance against any criminal activity placing our youth in jeopardy. Within the next few weeks some of these concepts and ideas are coming to fruition and will be in place by the first of the school year. We are also working on some exciting possibilities for the future in placing a more strategic plan in effect to include officers being present as mentors within our schools. In addition to these changes, we continue to patrol school campuses while school is out for the summer in ensure those utilizing the facility are safe and no criminal activity is taking place.

Animal Control- With the previous months activity mostly related to animals at large we have seen most of those cases rectified and now are attempting to educate dog owners to register their animals for the new year. Town hall has been instrumental in helping us gain a higher compliance in registration and circumventing animal control issues.

Reports/Cases- While halfway through the year the town of Ft. jones has accumulated well over 50 written reports for the year and has been successful in the prosecution of many of those cases. The other cases will take time to resolve as the D.A’s office has been inundated with numerous cases from all over the county. As mentioned in last months council meeting, Siskiyou County District Attorney Kirk Andrus has released a statement regarding the officer involved shooting from last year. Within the report all officers including Etna Police Department Officers were cleared and Justified in the shooting. If you haven’t had a chance review the D.A.’s report as it is very in depth and provides a prospective of what had taken place.

Calls for Service- As you can see from the attached monthly calls for service report, we continue to remain very active over the past month and will likely continue to see service calls increase. Mutual aid assistance has increased as we try and help with the sheriff’s department staffing shortage. Our partnership with allied agencies including fire and ems continue to help within all departments as we continue to see an increase for calls for service in all areas of public safety. It’s this consolidated team approach that has show to be very effect for our small community in support of each other.

Ordinance Enforcement- Kelly and the department have been active with many old and new code enforcement issues including the next step inspection of the Ft. Jones Motel. We have brought in additional specialist with the building department and County Code enforcement to progress into the next steps associated with the motel and to ensure court orders are followed. An additional supplemental report will be prepared and sent to the courts upon the completion of the next inspection. A court date and time limits have been established by the court, so nothing falls through the cracks and this issue is adjudicated as soon as possible.

PAL- The PAL Sharks swim club is continuing strong as well as the addition of the Rec Swim team. Pal added the rec swim for those looking to swim and condition without having the requirements to compete. Our Youth Mentoring program continues to grow as we add programs such as fishing, hiking, and creative writing to the mix. We are very fortunate enough to have volunteer staffing as well as paid staffing supplied by our recent grant. We would be unable to provide the programs we do without our amazing staff and partnerships with fellow programs. We look forward to continued expansion and providing much needed programs to our community.

Training- We have partnered with College of the Siskiyou’s to help provide critical mandated POST perishable skills training along with advanced officer trainings. Our officers have been able to attend numerous trainings recently and have several more scheduled in the upcoming months. It is with great pride we are able to have amazing trainings for our officers which attributes to the many blessings we experience in a rural area. Officers have recently completed crucial training in various equipment operation over the past several weeks and look forward to implementing vital equipment to our daily processes.

Grants- Recently we took the next steps in hiring an additional officer through the national cops hiring grant we were awarded last year. A conditional offer is expected to be offered to the candidate in the next week. This will open the ability to take the last two steps in the background process. An official hire date will be announced once those steps are taken. We hope to introduce the new officer to council within the month. j

We submitted a grant application for new wildland PPE and equipment through the California Fire Foundation. Our Fire Association was also able to submit a separate grant through them for some specialized wildland fire equipment and community fire prevention supplies and banners.

We have two new volunteers on the department. This brings our current numbers to 15 members. We also conducted interviews for our seasonal position and have one firefighter that will be starting the first week of July. We are continuing to search for a second seasonal firefighter.

Monthly Report Public Works June 2022
Water well static level is at 22 feet.

This month has been noted by an increase in irrigation and care of the care of parks as a lot of time is spent maintaining, mowing and general care. The Paul Garrison Pavilion had topsoil and additional rock was brought in. Grass was planted by the backside edge of the concrete slab. It has sprouted and is filling in with new grass. The Little League Park had a major water leak that is being repaired, hence the water has been off. Luckily, we had some rain. Both dumpsters were picked up at each baseball park.

We have placed additional trash cans at both parks to mitigate the volume of trash and so far, it has been working. The Pavilion has been getting its fair share of use, and the users have placed their trash accordingly. There was some spray painting at the Pavilion inthe form of vandalism. The Police department was notified, and tagging has gone away. Thank You police department. Officers Buell and Whitchurch seem to get ahead of the problem.

The water tanks were cleaned and checked by an out of area contactor. No problems noted. We were requested to turn off water to a residence on Main St. Unfortunately, the valve won't shut off and a new valve was ordered which should be here soon. Sewer problem on Bower St was determined to be on the homeowner’s side of the pipe. The new camera for water and sewer has arrived, but not used yet. New bike racks are here and are waiting to get installed per Council on placement .

We placed a new sign on Sterling St of "Slow Children Playing" next to the library sign. Also, a post was placed on Diggles St for a sign which we are waiting for. At the request of a resident on Newton St a "No Parking" was placed next to a fire hydrant.

At the request of the Fire Chief Hess the area around the training center next to the city well was weed whacked and cleaned up. The town flags were placed at "half-staff" on July 5 thru July 9 per Karl due to the shooting in Highland Park IL.

With the Public Works Director out on Family Leave due to the birth of a baby boy, I feel getting help might be necessary sometimes. I recommend Jim Martin to fill in as needed and he already has been stepping up, and is pretty handy.

Branding Report
What Is A Brand?
Fort Jones’ brand is its outward-facing reputation to residents, passersby, and people who have never had the chance to visit. An ineffective brand will be conglomeration rumors and impressions, while an effective brand will give a focused and compelling look at what Fort Jones has to offer and what makes our Town unique.

Why Does The Fort Jones Brand Matter?
If we care about bringing economic activity to our Town, our reputation matters. If our brand communicates what is special about Fort Jones, we can bring in visitors. Attracting visitors to Fort Jones is a way to stimulate the local economy without having to increase our housing density, classroom sizes, or daily traffic—in other words, it is a way to develop our local economy while keeping Scott Valley Rural. Once we are able to show potential investors that Fort Jones is a place worth visiting, we can attract new businesses that could decrease storefront vacancy, provide lodgings for seasonal firefighters, offer expanded restaurant hours, and provide other goods and services that residents have been asking for.

Where Do We Start?
By Building A Team: Since 2020, the Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) has been facilitating the Town of Fort Jones in identifying opportunities and creating plans for economic development. Their support has included assessments of the Town’s assets and infrastructural needs, training and support for local entrepreneurs, and grant assistance. Now, the Town and RCAC are turning their attention towards branding as a means of bringing economic activity to Fort Jones in the long term.

On Main Street: Whether they are here on vacation or just passing through, a visitor will see Fort Jones’ Main Street before they see anything else. Our upcoming Main Street project will allow us to make the most of first impressions, encouraging passersby to stop in Fort Jones. • The City Council and City Hall staff organized and hosted the dedication BBQ of the Paul Garrison Picnic Pavilion, where the Main Street project was introduced. • The staff followed up with an online Main Street survey, which gathered valuable public input through 81 responses.
• Last May, the staff successfully applied to host a Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training (CPBST) workshop. This workshop will be a public event hosted by community stakeholders and pedestrian safety experts from Cal Walks and UC Berkely Safe TREC. At the workshop, residents will identify safety hazards and solutions. This input will be converted into a Safety Action Plan, and then the Town will use this document to solicit grant funds to make the plan a reality.
• This month, the staff will be disseminating a survey provided by UC Berkely Safe TREC as a part of the CPBST project. This survey will identify dangerous crossings and intersections by placing accidents and near-misses on a map of Fort Jones.
• The Council is in the process of re-allocating CDBG Program Income. Once the funds are re-allocated, the Council may choose to spend them on Main Street upgrades or elevated code enforcement for vacant storefronts and eyesores on Main Street.

Online: More and more, people turn to the internet to find things to do. The City Hall staff has been making efforts to ensure that our online presence keeps residents engaged and informed, and attracts new visitors.
• The staff has gathered valuable feedback from entrepreneurs in January’s Local Business Survey.
• Asher Beane recently shot high-quality images of Fort Jones for our Town website and social media pages (paid for out of the branding budget). • The staff has requested a quote from Town Web, our website host, for a website redesign, including an updated landing page, a new “Plan Your Visit” page, and reorganization of existing pages. Staff is waiting to hear back. • The staff continues to grow the Town’s online audience. As of July 7, the Town of Fort Jones website has had 567 visitors across 1,469 sessions in 30 days. • The Staff continues to grow the Town Facebook page. As of July 7, the page has 729 followers.
• The staff has created a Town of Fort Jones Instagram account. • The staff has developed multiple e-newsletter contact lists, including the Entrepreneur Newsletter email list, the Main Street Project email list, and the e-Newsletter list. These lists allow the Town to communicate relevant information directly to residents.

In Your Neighborhood: The internet is not the best place to reach everyone. City Hall staff has been creative in finding ways to engage the public in the real world:
• The staff continues send newsletters in the mail, keeping residents informed. • The staff will disseminate Street Story surveys in the mail and input the results manually into Street Story software to ensure that residents who are not digitally literate are included in the public input process of our Main Street project. • The staff uses the message box printed on water bills to update residents on Town activities.
• The staff keeps water users informed on the severity of the drought by placing colorcoded stickers on the water bills. The yellow/orange/red system was explained in the June newsletter and will be included again in the July newsletter. • The staff took advantage of this year’s Siskiyou Scenic Bicycle Tour by meeting with participants after the race. Participants were interviewed about the experience of riding bicycles on Main Street and about their first impressions of Fort Jones. • The staff will be hosting the CPBST Workshop in person at City Hall. • The staff continues to research opportunities to bring residents together for public events like the BBQ at the Paul Garrison Picnic Pavilion.

What’s Next?
• Narrowing the focus of the Fort Jones brand: A good brand is specific. Refining our brand will be a joint effort between the local government and the community through public input.
o Local government: Aaron Reimler from RCAC has met twice now with Council members and staff to facilitate branding efforts. These meetings are open to the Council and all involvement is appreciated.
o Community input:
 We are hoping to invite Town residents to a branding summit as early as September. This event would be co-hosted by the Council and RCAC and would give residents and community stakeholders an opportunity to voice their vision for how Fort Jones should present.
 Sesquicentennial: This year is our sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary of incorporation. Any celebration that we have is an opportunity to create a catalog of images for drawing crowds to possible future festivals or events. This will also be an opportunity to turn the conversation towards the future of Fort Jones and its reputation. The celebration is tentatively scheduled for October.

THE TOWN OF FORT JONES
TO: FORT JONES CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: JULY 11, 2022
FROM: KARL DREXEL, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT: CDBG HOUSING REHAB AND OTHER APPLICATIONS

BACKGROUND
The Community Development Block Grant program is changing their rules and the Town of Fort Jones needs to adopt new guidelines. Although the Guidelines were introduced and approved last month, the guidelines and the application has to be also introduced in a Noticed Public Meeting.

The CDBG grant program the Town of Fort Jones received several years ago has changed over the years. The newest iteration of the program allows for the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) to take the money we have in the bank earmarked currently for Housing Rehabilitation loans to low-income families if we are not providing those loans. Since COVID, the housing Rehabilitation program with Fort Jones has not had any new projects and thus no new loans. It has basically been stagnant. In order to protect the money we have, we are applying for a new grant to use the money we already have for other community projects that benefit the entire community in addition to Housing and Rehabilitation, such as:
• Acquisition of Real Property for Public Purposes
• Development of Park and Recreation Facilities
• Water and Sewer Infrastructure Improvements
There are a number of other project categories (see attached list), but the HCD recommended we only choose three. In discussion with Quintin from SEDC, Molly and our rep with HCD, these were the recommended categories we apply for. Please review the list and see if there are other categories you would like to see.

The numbers in the Resolution 1108 are derived from what we have in the bank, the loan portfolio we have and future Program Interest (PI) we get from the loans.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council review and approve Resolution 1108 and authorize staff to submit the required applications necessary to change the use of the current and future loan funds.

THE TOWN OF FORT JONES
TO: FORT JONES CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: JULY 11, 2022
FROM: KARL DREXEL, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT: REVIEW AND ADOPT THE EMERGENCY DROUGHT PLAN

BACKGROUND
California finds itself in a historic drought, and surface water rights holders have borne the brunt of the drought’s impacts. While the Town of Fort Jones relies on groundwater for the health and safety of its residents, our watershed is interconnected. Depleted aquifers can lead to low river levels, impacting our neighbors who rely on surface water to survive, and inviting valley-wide water restrictions from the State of California. Therefore, any actions taken by the Town of Fort Jones to conserve water will benefit not only residents of the Town, but all residents of Scott Valley.

The following Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan is intended to create guidelines as well as a plan for water conservation in the Town of Fort Jones. The plan is currently a proposal and, thus, subject to revision as appropriate. Ultimately, the City Council will develop enforceable ordinances to ensure that all Fort Jones residents have access to an adequate water supply. This document is intended to be used as a guideline as the City Council develops appropriate ordinances in the future.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council review and approve this Emergency Drought Contingency Plan as presented..

Agenda Item 3
Background
California finds itself in a historic drought, and surface water rights holders have borne the brunt of the drought’s impacts. While the Town of Fort Jones relies on groundwater for the health and safety of its residents, our watershed is interconnected. Depleted aquifers can lead to low river levels, impacting our neighbors who rely on surface water to survive, and inviting valley-wide water restrictions from the State of California. Therefore, any actions taken by the Town of Fort Jones to conserve water will benefit not only residents of the Town, but all residents of Scott Valley.

The availability of potable water must meet minimum health and safety allocation for human consumption, sanitation and fire protection needs. It is also understood the City’s water supply is finite and will fluctuate based on the water year. Per California’s Water Code “the governing body of a distributor of a public water supply, whether publicly or privately owned and including a mutual water company, shall declare a water shortage emergency condition to prevail within thearea served by such distributor whenever it finds and determines that the ordinary demands and requirements of water consumers cannot be satisfied without depleting the water supply of the distributor to the extent that there would be insufficient water for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection.” (Division 1. General State Powers Over Water [100-540] (Enacted in 1943, Ch. 368; Amended by Stats. 2018, Ch. 14, Sec. 1. (SB 606), effective January 1, 2019.)
Purpose of Plan
To ensure the integrity of the City’s water supply for the near and long term, the purpose of this Water Conservation Plan is to promote the wise and responsible use of water as a scarce and valuable resource by: (1) encouraging programs to minimize waste; (2) supporting public education programs that promote water conservation and a better public understanding of water usage; and (3) working through the City Council to develop, adopt, and implement water conservation policies and ordinances that help the Town meet its mandate of delivering an adequate water quantity for the needs of the Town’s residences, businesses and schools and for fire protection in a manner consistent with the law.

EMERGENCY DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN
Water Conservations Actions
This Plan includes three Water Conservation Levels that have been identified. These levels are set by the use of triggers developed to reflect the availability of water resources.

The three water conservation levels of the Town of Fort Jones water supply will be determined by static well level readings at the Fort Jones Pump. This information will be used as the initial trigger to establish the Level in which the Town finds itself. At some future date, the Water Conservation Levels may be subject to curtailment by the California State Water Resources Control Board.

Public Education and Notification
The Town will notify residents of changing conditions through bill messages, newsletters, emails, website updates, and Facebook postings and provide relevant information regarding the personal conservation strategies.

Water Conservation Levels:

The different water conservation levels are as follows:

Level I - Water Awareness (Yellow) - Voluntary Conservation Measures: Voluntary conservation is the normal mode of operation. Level I measures will apply when the static well reading at the Fort Jones Pump is between 23 and 29 feet. Voluntary conservation measures are proposed in this stage to embed water efficiency programs into the fabric of the community and achieve permanent reductions in per capita water use. The Town’s primary tool for achieving long-term reductions in water use is public education to encourage the formation of water-saving habits and installation of water-saving fixtures. Since the community’s structures tend to be older, the Town encourages customers to update to modern, low-flow, highefficiency water fixtures and appliances.

The following measures are recommended to encourage prudent water use, as an unreasonable waste of water is discouraged at all times:

Water Line Leak Detection

1. Minor leaks - The goal should be for both the Town and its residents, to identify and repair minor leaks within 48 hours.

2. Major leaks - The goal should be to identify and repair major leaks within 8 hours.

Infrastructure - The goal should be to identify and pursue opportunities to enhance and upgrade the service infrastructure whenever possible to minimize waste on a system wide scale.

Outdoor Landscaping - Outdoor water use for landscaping most often represents the highest water use for residential users. As such, conservation efforts in the city should encourage drought tolerant landscaping.

1. Watering Hours - Use of potable water to irrigate turf and landscape vegetation is discouraged between the hours of 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

2. Irrigated Turf Area - Minimize the amount of irrigated turf in new development to permanently reduce system-wide per capita water use.

3. Irrigation Control Systems - New and renovated irrigation systems should include automatic timers and rain or soil moisture sensors that can automatically override the timer control of the sprinkler system.

4. Drip Irrigated Area - Drip irrigation is more efficient than spray for many applications, especially those where bushes, flowers, gardens and areas of unusual shape are being irrigated.

5. Sidewalk and Driveway Design - Lot design should be configured such that spray irrigation does not overspray and pavement areas. Landscape areas can be designed to catch any runoff instead of allowing water to drain off.

6. Landscape Plants – Seek to use low water using plants that are drought tolerant.

Individual water conservation habits

1. Bathroom - Turn off water while brushing teeth and shaving. Bathe using half-full tubs and take shorter showers.

2. Piping - Insulate hot water heaters and pipelines to reduce the time needed to get hot water at thetap.

3. Kitchen - Store drinking water in refrigerator and run dishwasher only when full.

4. Laundry - Purchase high-efficiency appliances and wash full loads of laundry.

5. Watering Hours – Watering during the heat of the day allows for high evaporation rates, therefore watering should be done before 10:00am and after 6:00pm.

6. Drip Irrigation - Use drip irrigation wherever possible for deep watering of trees, bushes, flowersand gardens.

7. Hose Shutoff Valves - Equip hoses with a shutoff valve that requires hand pressure to open.

8. Exterior Cleaning - Sweep patios, sidewalks, driveways, and other hard exterior surfaces.

9. Car Washing - Use spray from a hose equipped with a shutoff valve and/or a bucket of water to wash cars.

10. Hot Water Lines Insulation - Insulating hot water lines or installing a recirculation pump in new construction will reduce heat losses and the amount of time the water has to ‘run’ before it gets to the proper temperature. Pipe insulation can save both water and energy.

11. Thermostatic Mixing Devices - By running the hot water and cold-water lines into a single mixingvalve, the person taking a shower can set and get the target water temperature much more quickly, especially when the hot water line is insulated.

12. Water Saving Devices - Install low-flow devices and flow restrictions for high use fixtures like shower heads and install updated, low flush toilets and low water use appliances.

13. Plumbing Repairs - Promptly repair any leaking fixtures. Test your plumbing by carefully checking the water meter reading and then turning off all water using devices.

After 30 to 60 minutes, check if the meter has recorded any usage. Toilets can be checked by placing a drop of food coloring in the water tank and checking in 30 minutes for any coloration of water in the bowl.Toilets are responsible for some of the most common household leaks.

14. It is recommended that potable water for car washing, construction, compaction, dust control, street or building wash-down be from a hose equipped with a shutoff valve and/or a bucket of water for washing. Similarly, patios, sidewalks, driveways and other hard exteriorsurfaces ought to be swept rather than sprayed with water.

At Level I, the Town shall take the following actions:

1. The City Hall staff will engage with the public to encourage voluntary water conservation.

2. The City Hall Staff will investigate additional ways to conserve water both at the household level and at the city level.

Level II - Water Shortage (Orange) - Mandatory Conservation Measures: Mandatory Conservation Measures shall apply when the static water level reading at the Fort Jones Pump is between 30 and 44 feet.

Immediate action is necessary in Level II. The City’s primary tool for achieving short-term reductions in water use is to declare a water emergency and enact mandatory Level II restrictions to drastically reduce water consumption. The goal is to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public and to ensure that the minimum water needs for the Town’s residents are met.

Please note that restrictions other than those identified below may be necessary during prolonged or extreme drought conditions to safeguard the adequacy of the water supply for essential uses. Additional restrictions may include limitations on new connections, water shortage pricing, limitations on non-essential water use, installation of flow restriction devices for excessive use customers or other measures deemed necessary by the City Council.

Penalties for unnecessary water usage may be enacted by the City Council.

All water conservation measures contained in previous levels apply to Level II.

Regulations and Restrictions The following mandatory conservation measures will be in effect.

1. No customer shall waste water. Any of the following acts or omissions, whether intentional, unintentional, willful or negligent, shall constitute the wasteful use of water:
a) Water flowing away from a property caused by excessive application(s) of water beyond reasonable or practical irrigation rates, duration of application, or other than incidental applications to impervious surfaces.
b) Causing or permitting any amount of water to discharge, flow, run to waste into or flood any gutter, sanitary sewer, water course or storm drain, or to any adjacent lot, from any tap, hose, faucet, pipe, sprinkler, or nozzle.
c) Maintaining ponds, waterways, decorative basins or swimming pools without water recirculation devices or with known leaks, both seen and unseen. d) Discharging water from, and refilling, swimming pools, decorative basins or ponds in excess of the frequency reasonably necessary to maintain the health, maintenance or structural considerations of the pool, basin or pond, as determined by Code Enforcement.
e) Continued operation of an irrigation system that applies water to an impervious surface. f) Use of a water hose not equipped with a control nozzle capable of completely shutting off the flow of water except when positive pressure is applied. g) Irrigation of lawns or landscaping when it is raining. h) Overfilling of any pond, pool or fountain which results in water discharging from the pond, pool or fountain.
i) Failure to repair customer pipes, faulty sprinklers or other water-related fixtures that leak water within five working days, unless the director informs the customer that the leak must be repaired more quickly, in which case the customer shall repair the leak in the time specified by the City.
j) Irrigating lawns or landscaping between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., with the exception of drip irrigation.
k) Outdoor watering exceeding 1 hour total duration.
l) Using potable water from the city water system for compaction, dust control or other construction purposes without first obtaining approval from the City. m) Installing a single pass cooling system, such as a water-cooled air compressor, in any property that is newly connected to the city water system. This does not apply to evaporative cooling systems.
n) Use of potable water for street or building wash down.

At Level II, the Town shall investigate the following conservation measures:

1. The acquisition of additional water storage tanks

2. Incentive programs for the installation of water-saving devices in local households

3. Incentive programs for residents who replace lawns with water-efficient landscaping

4. Tiered water rates
Level III - Water Emergency (Red) - Maximum Conservation Measures: Maximum Conservation Measures begin when the static water level as measured at the Fort Jones Pump reads 45 feet or lower. Maximum conservation measures shall limit residential use to 280 gallons per day per residence, as measured at the water meter. Assumption is that the City’s residences average 4 people, at 70 gallons per person per day. Penalties for unnecessary water usage may be enacted by the City Council.

Water Use Restrictions
If Level III is determined at any time, the Town of Fort Jones City Council and Staff will immediately notify its residences via letters, emails, bill notifications, and Facebook posts.

Additionally, a special meeting will be held with the intent to issue a rate increase for excessive water use. Any said rate increase would stay in effect until the static well level at the Fort Jones Pump rose into Level II status. Other restrictions deemed necessary to safeguard the adequacy of the water supply for the Town of Fort Jones are subject to change if conditions warrant additional water conservation measures. Public Works staff and the Code Enforcement Officers have full authority to issue penalty notices when seeing violations.

All water conservation measures contained in previous levels apply to Level III.

The following water use restrictions apply for the severity of the conditions as described above:

Regulations and Restrictions

1. Residential use limited to 280 gallons per day per residence, as measured at the watermeter. Assumption is that the City’s residences average 4 people, at 70 gallons per person.

2. Restaurants and food service establishments shall serve water to customers only upon specific request.

3. Penalty for excess water use shall be issued on the connection’s water bill.

4. The following sprinkler use restrictions will take effect:
• Outdoor watering during periods of rain shall be prohibited. • Outdoor watering shall be limited to 30 minutes total duration per day. • Customers with odd-numbered street addresses – ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 – are allowed to use their sprinkler systems on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. • Customers with even-numbered street addresses – ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 – are allowed to use their sprinkler systems on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. • Watering with sprinklers is limited to the following: • All outdoor watering is prohibited from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., regardless of the watering day. • Street addresses ending in fractions or letters are treated as whole numbers and observe the same day restrictions as others on their same side of the street (i.e.:
“405 ½”, or “405 A” is regarded as 405, an odd-numbered address.) • Residents are encouraged to cut grass to maximum height, convert all non-lawn landscaped areas to drip irrigation systems, and work to establish water sprinkler pressures of 45 pounds per square inch (psi).

Other Water Users
Schools, parks, churches, and pools shall use water in a reasonable way so as not to directly or indirectly harm the City’s ability to meet minimum health and safety allocation for human consumption, sanitation and fire protection needs. The City reserves the rights to impose additional water conservation measuresto individual water users who are deemed to have an excessive and/or unreasonable use of water.

Unauthorized Water Use
Unauthorized use of a fire hydrant, public or private, for anything other than fire suppression efforts is not permitted at any time or any water level.

Fire and Other Emergencies
Nothing in this plan limits or may be construed as limiting the availability of water for extinguishing fires, meeting the demands of any other similar emergency, or routine inspection and maintenance of fire hydrants.

Water Rights Curtailment Timeline
The State of California is in a historic drought. The State Water Resources Control Board’s Water Rights Drought Effort Review states, “As of June 1, 2020, the statewide average snowpack was about 39 percent of average with the North Coast Region [the region which includes Scott Valley] averaging only 15 percent…” The severe drought conditions have prompted action from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The Scott River Agriculture Water Alliance’s website states that “The State’s handling of our water rights poses an existential threat to our community.” Both urban water suppliers and Scott Valley farmers and ranchers have been urged to find voluntary solutions to conserve water. If urban water suppliers are not able to curb water usage, the ensuing statewide mandates could impact the Town of Fort Jones.

Timeline:

August 30, 2021: The SWRCB passed a curtailment of water rights, halting all agricultural irrigation in the Scott River Watershed and limiting water use to the minimum human health and safety quota of 55 gallons per person per day. The SWRCB sited concerns over migrating salmon populations. The curtailment is temporarily suspended when minimum flow requirements are met in local rivers. This means that the status of the curtailment can change from week to week.

September 9, 2021: The Town of Fort Jones was notified by letter of the curtailment and that water systems were to divert only the water required for minimum human health and safety needs (55 gallons per person per day). To continue to divert, water systems were instructed to submit a petition with a deadline of September 20, 2021.

September 21, 2021: The Town certified that the petition had previously been submitted (I cannot find the date of the submission itself).

Winter of 2022: California experienced the driest January through March period on record.

April 2022: The Scott River Agriculture Water Alliance formed to communicate with the state on behalf of farmers and ranchers.

May 24, 2022: The SWRCB banned the irrigation of decorative lawns at commercial, industrial, and institutional properties in response to an executive order from Governor Gavin Newsom.

June 10, 2022: Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order requiring urban water suppliers (water systems with 3,000+ connections) to enact phase 2 of their contingency drought plans. If urban water suppliers are unable to reduce water consumption by 25% using their own contingency drought plans, there will be statewide mandates later this year. It is currently unclear whether these mandates will apply only to urban water suppliers, or whether the Town of Fort Jones will be affected.

June 21, 2022: The State Water Resource Control Board readopted the water rights curtailments for another year despite the efforts of the Scott River Agriculture Water Alliance.

July 1, 2022: Surface water rights holders were notified by the SWRCB via email that the most recent suspension of curtailments would end at 12:00pm on July 2. Water rights holders have been ordered to cease all surface water diversions except for those protected by an approved petition.

Urban water suppliers are self-imposing strict conservation measures. The City of Etna and farmers and ranchers are operating under curtailment. Because Fort Jones is a small water system and does not rely on surface water, the Town has not been as severely impacted by the drought as these water rights holders. However, the Town of Fort Jones is already operating under a petition to divert water for minimum human health and safety. The drought is expected to persist, and the SWRCB continues to make decisions based on flow readings from gages in local rivers (including the Fort Jones gage in Scott River). These decisions impact everyone in the Scott River Watershed, including the Town of Fort Jones. While the Town relies on groundwater, our watershed is interconnected, and low groundwater levels can lead to low river levels, resulting in more regulation. The Town of Fort Jones has a window of opportunity to take voluntary action to conserve water for the good of the Town and of Scott Valley. 11960 East Street ● P.O.

THE TOWN OF FORT JONES
TO: FORT JONES CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: JULY 11, 2022
FROM: KARL DREXEL, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT: REVIEW AND DISCUSS POLICE SERVICES CONTRACT

AMENDMENTS

BACKGROUND
As you all know, we have a contract with the City of Etna to provide Police Services for the Town of Fort Jones. We are in the third year of a three-year contract. The service Fort Jones is receiving is exemplary and will only get better with the proposed addition of another officer paid for by a grant.

The Contract provides that “On or before the 1st day of April of each year of this Agreement, the Chief of Police of the City of Etna shall consult with the Fort Jones’ City Administrator and the Mayor, or Mayor’s Designee on service levels and the parties may modify the Agreement as necessary to meet the needs of Fort Jones subject to the approval by the City Councils of each entity.” It also states, “In the event of a substantial change in personnel costs to the City of Etna, including the reduction in police department workforce, such that the services provided to Fort Jones are affected, the parties may negotiate for amended terms to this Agreement.” Neither of these things has happened.

However, I received an email from Mercedes Garcia on March 30 stating that Josh Short asked her to meet him at the police station the day before for a quick chat. He stated that the insurance is going up for the department and “we are in need of discussing and revising the current contract”.

They were wanting to give notice of this so the 90-day time requirement could start. It appeared at the time that the increase would possibly be around $7000, but they would present actual numbers when they get them. The numbers presented at that time were:

Workers Comp - $2-3 thousand (estimate)
Liability - $4-5 thousand (estimate)
Although these were just estimated numbers and we hadn’t received any kind of formal proposal, I advised Josh that I had recommended the City of Etna go with GSRMA Insurance the year before to save money and get a 3-year firm premium guarantee. They chose not to do that.

I received another email from Mercedes on June 7th explaining that Josh set up a meeting for the next day at 1 PM at the Fort Jones PD to discuss price increases with the commissioners. Since I was out of town, I requested a Zoom meeting be set up so I could attend. Josh didn’t want to set up a Zoom meeting and at the time it was being held, I had an emergency visit with a vet and was not able to call in. I did talk to Josh and Adam Cox, the new City Manager for the City of Etna, and told them both that I needed written documents showing the increase in costs of insurance and a written proposal in order to present to my Council for any potential amendment to this Agreement. I have not received any such proposal.

Agenda Item 6
11960 East Street ● P.O. Box 40 ● Fort Jones, CA 96032 ● 530 468-2281 Subsequently I went on the City of Etna website and reviewed a Worksheet presented to, and voted on by, the Etna City Council at a Special Meeting held on June 3, 2022, which I am including here.

I cannot read anything into that worksheet since we do not have any explanations and we are not responsible for their Cal PERS unfunded liabilities.

Because I have not had any meetings with either Josh or Adam, nor received any written proposals to change the 3-year Agreement, we are still working under the original Agreement and I have listed in the Payables in the Consent Calendar the 1st Quarter payment for police services for the fiscal year 22-23, as it has been.

RECOMMENDATION
No Action necessary. Information Only.

THE TOWN OF FORT JONES
TO: FORT JONES CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: JULY 11, 2022
FROM: KARL DREXEL, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT: CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S CONTRACT AND JOB POSTING

BACKGROUND
Council Member Garcia requested the Agenda include an item to discuss and act on posting the position of City Administrator and a schedule for a transition program. Although the Council met in Closed Session last year, and again last month, regarding this same thing, it was my understanding that no dates were ever discussed. I believe it is prudent to establish a succession plan, which I have been doing for the last year, training staff to assume more and more responsibilities that will provide for a smooth and successful transition, With the staff taking on more responsibility it will be easier to find a competent person to assume the position of City Manager when the time comes. I have no plans on retiring in the near future. In fact I would like to continue to spearhead, and see to fruition, all of the projects we have started, including the Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvement project, the Upgraded Meter Project, the Drinking Water Improvement Project, the Central Community Park Project, the Complete Streets Project and the upgrades of to all streets and roads in Fort Jones.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council consider posting for the position of City Administrator to assume the position in a year or two, when you have a fighting chance of finding someone with the proper experiance and qualifications after most of the projects are complete and the staff that we have built can assume even more of the manager's responsibilities.
