REPORTS & CORRESPONDENCE
Fort Jones Police Department Monthly Report
July 2023
Ft. Jones Police Chief’s Monthly Report
Happy summer everyone as it is officially upon us bringing warm temperatures. Below you will find an update and information to the many things occurring around town for the month of June. We have had a lot of activity as the summer months approach us with many interactions being very positive. 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. As a reminder, 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 and city administration 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. After a reasonable amount of educating drivers regarding what we expect of them while in Ft. Jones, we have been issuing citations resulting in approximately 5 to 10 citations bimonthly. We hope to see the citations decline as drivers remember the consequences of improper driving habits. I have noticed a reduction of U-turns on Main Street however, are still one of our priorities.

Schools- Even though school is out for the summer months, 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. Over the next few weeks some of these concepts and ideas will be coming to fruition and hopefully implemented by the beginning 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. A School Resource Officer position is very much desired, and we will do everything in our power to make that a reality. In addition to these changes, we continue to patrol school campuses while school is out for the summer to ensure those utilizing the facilities are safe and no criminal activity is taking place.

Animal Control- In the past month we have had another rise in animals at large issues which have been quickly resolved with kenneling and citations being issued. As mentioned last month we had to euthanize a mountain lion which was a danger to our community and domestic animals. This last month was no different. The department received several 911 calls regarding a large mountain lion acting uncharacteristic during the middle of the day. The lion attempted to get inside homes while killing several cats in the process. Children were at play in the area and the lion caused a major concern for the safety of our constituents. Officers in conjunction with our local state trapper were able to locate and dispatch the dangerous animal. A thank you to Officer Martin for her quick response and decision-making skills in euthanizing the lion before anyone got hurt.

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.

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- As our ordinances take hold and are consistently enforced we will continue to see a positive impact in town. CSO York will be attending this months meeting to inform and recommend to council a new in house review hearing board to help resolve ordinance issues quickly. This process will also provide town with the ability to implement fines and fees directly to the city without the usage of the district attorney.

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 continue to partner 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. .

Our Valley Chief’s meetings continue to go strong. We are currently discussing several joint drills to further strengthen interoperability.

We conducted a joint driver training program with Etna Ambulance that was attended by members from all valley agencies. Following state and federal standards we were able to train several of our new firefighters who will soon be eligible to take DMV testing to drive fire apparatus.

We applied for several private grants for various equipment and PPE as well as community risk preparedness.

Water System Energy Efficiency Follow Up Energy Assessment 11960 East St, Fort Jones CA 96032
By Brian Hoffman
Executive Summary of Potential Energy/Money Savings
On February 10th, 2023, the CRWA Energy Efficiency Circuit Rider, Brian Hoffman met with the Public Works Supervisor/ D1 Operator, Everett Hullquist at the Town of Fort Jones main shop. During the meeting, we discussed implementation of the previous energy efficiency assessment that was completed in October of 2019 and the installation of a VFD at the well facilities to take advantage of energy saving technology and reduce annual energy consumption. We also discussed upgrades to the HVAC system at City Hall and reducing energy costs associated with HVAC operations. This summary provides potential energy and monetary savings, the estimated cost of upgrades, potential annual energy and monetary savings, payback and estimated return on investment, and rebates.

Project Overview:

The Town of Fort Jones provides water and wastewater services for a population of about 675 persons through about 365 active service connections. The Town of Fort Jones would like to replace and upgrade to a more energy efficient HVAC system for the Town Hall (City Hall). There are 3-HVAC systems at City Hall, and all were installed over 20 years ago. The scope of this follow-up energy assessment is limited to these upgrades and energy savings to HVAC system at City Hall.

Energy Efficiency Observations:

The Town of Fort Jones spends approximately $19,462.56 for propane, including delivery charges and fees for the HVAC at the City Hall. This does not include power consumption for these units for cooling, but for the purposes of this follow-up assessment, projected kWh usage for the replacement units will be included and all cost savings will be associated with converting the HVAC system to an all-electric system or upgrade to a more efficient propane system. The Town of Fort Jones uses three 3-ton units to cool and propane furnaces to heat City Hall. A 3-ton air conditioner is one of the most common air conditioner sizes used in homes. It can be used to cool a single room or an entire house. Generally, a 3-ton air conditioner can comfortably cool a 1500 square feet room and given this information, it is assumed that City Hall is approximately 4500 square feet.

Peak Demand Reduction: Reducing electrical demand from HVAC systems during peak hours is increasingly important for electric utilities and other stakeholders, as lateafternoon cooling loads often strain the existing capacity of the electrical grid or the availability of power. This can be reflected as higher prices – demand charges or time-ofuse prices – for the end-user. Technologies that can reduce electricity capacity requirements by using natural gas or shifting electricity consumption to off-peak hours would have a significant benefit to both grid operators and, through lower demand charges or peak-hours consumption, for building owners. In addition, utilities with high electrical heating adoption on their system experience winter peaking events, and technologies that offer electricity savings during peak winter events are also valuable.

Figure 1: Current HVAC System Specs.

Packaged unit: A type of heating and cooling equipment that is assembled at a factory and installed as a self-contained unit. Packaged units are in contrast to engineer-specified units built up from individual components for use in a given building. They are generally mounted on the roof of the building, but they are also sometimes located on a slab outside the building. Packaged units produce warm or cool air directly and distribute it throughout the building by ducts or a similar distribution system. (See Below) Figure 2: Example of Packaged System Specifications
**Example shown above is for illustration purposes only.

Figure 3: Manufacturer Projected Cost Savings of Figure 2 Example Figure 4: Projected Annual Energy Usage Per Unit.

Energy Usage Observations: AC energy efficiency: The SEER rating of your air conditioner will also affect how much it costs to run the AC. Units with higher SEER ratings are more energy efficient, meaning they produce more cooling per unit of energy consumed. With proper installation, a unit with a higher SEER will cost less to cool a home versus a unit with a lower SEER rating under the same conditions. Your current AC units are rated at 11 SEER and is estimated to cost the following to operate per unit/year.

Electricity Usage: 3.27 kWh / Hour, 523 kWh / Month, 6,278 kWh / Year X 3=18,835 kWh/Yr.

Running Cost: $0.59 / Hour, $309 / Month, $3,704 / Year. Total for all three=$11,112.00/Yr.

By replacing your 3 units with 16 SEER AC units, it is estimated to cost the following.

Electricity Usage: 2.25 kWh / Hour, 360 kWh / Month, 4,320 kWh / Year X 3=12,960 Running Cost: $0.42 / Hour, $151 / Month, $1,814 / Year. Total for all three=$5,443.00 *Note: Cost savings estimates will vary depending on weather factors & electrical rates.

Propane vs. Electric Heat: Cost Factors: Most propane furnaces are 90% efficient, while electric heat is 100% efficient. As energy usage increases, the more that difference in efficiency adds up. he U.S. Energy Information Administration considers one gallon of propane equal to 91,452 BTUs. Kilowatts are the unit of measurement used to determine how much electricity it will take to heat a home. One kilowatt-hour equal to 3,412 BTUs.

Determining the Cost of Electric Heat To determine the cost of electric heat:

Start by deciding if you live in a mild winter climate (1,000 BTUs/sq ft.) or a moderate winter climate (2,000 BTUs/sq ft.).

Take that number and multiply it by the square footage of your home. This is the total number of BTUSs needed.

Divide the BTU number by 3,412 to convert it to kilowatts/hour.

Multiply kilowatts/hour by the cost of kilowatts per hour in your area. (You can usually find the cost per kilowatt on your energy bill or from a local government source.) The end number will be a rough estimate of what it would cost monthly to heat your home with electricity. 2000 BTUs X 4500 Sq. Ft./ 3,412 X 0.18=$474.79/Month X 6 Mo./Yr.=$2,848.74/Unit/Yr. X 3 furnaces=$8,546.22/Yr. (This is excluding propane delivery fees) Determining the Cost of Propane Heat To determine the cost of propane heat:

Repeat steps 1 and 2 above and determine the number of BTUs needed to heat your home based on the square footage and the climate.

Divide BTUs needed by 91,452 (the number of BTUs in a single gallon of propane.) Due to propane heating systems being 90 percent efficient compared to electric heat systems, you will need to add 10 percent of your total number found in step 2 back to that number.

Take the number from step 3 and multiply it by the average cost of a gallon of propane in your area to get the average cost per month to heat your home with propane. 2000 BTUs X 4500 Sq. Ft./91,452 + 10%=108.25 X $8.019=$868.08/Mo. X 6 Mo./Yr.=$5,2087.48 /Unit X 3 Furnaces=$15,625.44/Yr. (This is excluding propane delivery fees) Energy Efficiency recommendation: According to invoices that were provided by the Town of Fort Jones, it cost approximately $19,462.56/Yr. for propane, including delivery charges and fees for the heating system at City Hall. Given this information, the following determination is recommended:
1) Replace three HVAC units with Packaged HVAC System: While most packaged units are single stage, meaning they're either on or off, a packaged unit can heat or cool at two different speeds. Most of the time the unit will meet heating or cooling needs at its lower speed, resulting in balanced and consistent temperatures with lower energy use. It is estimated to cost $34,500.00 to replace all three AC units and furnaces with packaged units. Since these units will be more energy efficient, it is estimated to save the Town of Fort Jones $5,669.00/Yr. in cooling costs and an additional $10,916.34/Yr. in heating costs. The AC units will reduce the annual kWh used from 18,835-kwh to 12,960-kwh, a 29% savings. This would lead to an average annual reduction in electric consumption of 5,875 kWh for cooling. The estimated cost of this project is $34,500.00 and has an estimated return on investment of less than 2 years depending on rebates offered. Pacific Power Corp. offers a rebate for each unit that would be replaced, with a possible total rebate from $900.00 to $3,450.00. (See website for details.) Project Item

Energy Efficiency Assessment
California Rural Water Association
October 2019
The Mission of the California Rural Water Association is to provide training, technical assistance, resources and information to assist water and wastewater utilities in achieving high standards of service.

Energy Efficiency Program Overview:

The California Rural Water Association has implemented a program to assist water and wastewater utility systems to evaluate and lower their energy consumption and associated costs. Your energy efficiency assessment considers current and past energy use, identifies the primary energy consuming components, and identifies methods to lower energy use and costs. The California Rural Water Association Energy Efficiency Program is made possible through a grant to the National Rural Water Association from the United States Department of Agriculture. The Energy Efficiency Program is just one of many initiatives that are currently in place to support the mission of the California Rural Water Association. Please visit our website to learn more about all the services available from your association. www.calruralwater.org Executive Summary:

The CRWA Energy Efficiency Circuit Rider (Jim Caporusso) toured the District’s facilities on October 10th, 2019 accompanied by Employee Dustin DelCarlo. The District has a single well that provides domestic water to the Town of Fort Jones. In a perfect world, a second well with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and new motor should be put in place. This would provide a redundancy of water sources if one well should ever go down. However, in the scope of this assessment we will provide the cost savings of attaching a VFD to the existing well. There is potential for energy and cost savings in the installation of a VFD on the existing well. The installation of a VFD may reduce annual energy consumption by 25-40 percent. The estimated cost of the VFD is $6000 resulting in a very attractive return on investment of only about 18 months.

Area Notes:

Fort Jones is registered as a California Historical Landmark. It takes its name from the frontier outpost that was established in 1852 and located less than a mile to the south of the city's corporate limits. The Town of Fort Jones is in Siskiyou County which is one of three counties that are along the Oregon/California border.

Project Overview:

The towns water system provides domestic water service for a population of about 675 persons through about 365 active service connections. The source water for the Town is groundwater produced from one well. Distribution system pressure is provided by gravity.

Energy Efficiency Observations/Opportunities:

Fort Jones has newer pumping equipment. However, it could very easily improve overall energy efficiency by implementing a VFD controller for the well pump. The Town purchases electric power from Pacific Power at an averaged pricing rate of 18 cents per kWh. We estimate the Town is currently consuming about 88,287 kWh’s each year for pumping alone. A refitting of a VFD could significantly reduce energy consumption associated with pumping.

Energy Efficiency Recommendations:

A VFD retrofit project to add a VFD controller to the Well Pump has the potential to save 22,072 kWh of energy every year with an annual cost savings of $3833. The initial capital investment for the project is estimated at $6000. The Return on Investment for the VFD project is only about 18 months.
