Ft. Jones Police Chief’s Monthly Report
November 2024
Fortunately, after seeing an increase in calls for service, especially with high profile sensitive cases, we received a very welcome calm November. This allowed us the opportunity to play catchup on issues, cases, and follow-up before the Christmas festivities and holidays approach. While we will see at the end of the year a significant rise in cases, a slowdown in activity does show us the hard work has paid off giving in to adjudication and conclusions to ongoing calls for service. We hope this trend continues into the new year providing a consistently safe community for our constituents to enjoy. Attached to this report is also the statistical data for the month of November. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will provide as much information as possible.

Traffic- Traffic in town seems to stay active with what we see as an influx of traffic over the past year which increases violations as traffic collisions. As mentioned before, this has been seen around the entire valley and not just subjected to the Etna and Fort Jones communities. However, officers’ consistent presence in and around town and in problematic areas has helped to see accountability in activity. This will also help with the reduction of violations over time if violators know they will eventually be held accountable. We continue to focus on the needs of the community and welcome any information that will help us be proactive in enforcement and education.

Outside the two communities of Etna and Ft. Jones we have observed a huge increase in traffic which has led to several accidents, complaints on driving behavior, and dui’s. With this increase we have partnered with chp and allied agencies to hopefully create a safer environment on our roads outside city limits. Several operations have been scheduled including saturation patrols in the attempt to make our roads safer.

Schools- Our school district continues to work towards Christmas vacation and has had many activities we have been fortunate to be part of. We continue our partnership with the schools and make sure we meet on a consistent basis to develop and evolve the current curriculum and programs to fit the needs of our youth. This partnership has also enabled us to work hand in hand with the district in handling critical issues within the school system. It is with this success that we hope to develop our School Resource Officer program into an indefinite program.

Animal Control- After several weeks of consistent animal control issues, especially with animals at large, we finally saw a break in the cycle besides a few habitual offenders. Numerous citations, dog detainments, and rehoming of animals were performed in the month of November, and we hope to see this issue decline. The good news that comes with this activity is that we were able to relocate and rehome many problematic dogs outside of our community. These events seem to come in waves, and we have been able to keep up with the demand, however we look to develop some new programs and opportunities in the near future to help keep these calls for service to a minimum.

Reports/Cases- As mentioned above, by the end of the year we will see the number of reports at a high. I suspect we will have around 130 to 150 written cases for the year, which will probably be an increase of 20 to 25 percent from the previous year. Again, with the high number of cases we have seen many of these ongoing issues resolved. This in turn should result in a decline of cases for 2025 but have said that before. If not and activity continues to rise, we will be ready to respond and handle the workload given.

Calls for Service- Calls for service tend to go hand in hand with written reports to an extent. Many of our calls for service are good encounters and provide us the availability to work together with citizens, organizations, and our allied agencies to bring many amazing programs, events, and opportunities to our communities. By the time of this meeting, we will have had several events including the PAL Christmas party and tree lightings. These events are staples in our community and are several of the many opportunities we have to work with our constituents. We are prepared and excited about the annual Christmas Parade and hope to see another successful event.

Code Enforcement- Several new code enforcement issues arose in the month of November, however most were concluded with voluntary compliance. A couple issues are under investigation with the help of city staff. Public Works has been great in helping with our investigations, providing critical historical information and details we normally would not have. We hope to see these cases concluded soon and not turn into a large issue. City Management is also helping us develop an in-house hearing procedure while providing a hearing officer or receivership process to manage those cases.

PAL- Pal has concluded its soccer and flag football programs for the year with approximately 150 youth taking part. We also held our 23 annual PAL Holiday party which continued to be a huge success. Games, food, and crafts were provided free of charge to all attendees, while Santa made a visit. We also provided approximately $4,000 in gifts to our community’s youth along with coupons to be used throughout our valley’s businesses. This program is a huge undertaking and is only successful due to the many volunteers and businesses working together.

A big thank you to everyone who helped create a successful event for our kids.

Training- Department training continues to be a monthly occurrence and will continue throughout the year as normal. Again, our continual advanced officer training and perishable skills not only keep us in compliance with POST but also provide crucial training that brings a higher level of service to our community. We will always strive to be the best trained department possible, while providing a compassionate response to our constituents.

As mentioned always and as a reminder, we have an open-door policy and look forward to city staff, council, and our community visiting us. You are our eyes and ears out there as we can’t be everywhere at once. We rely on your help to be able to provide the best service possible to our community. Please come in and visit, share what you are experiencing, and if able come out on a ride along with an officer. We are all on the same team and we enjoy working together to solve our community’s needs.

To City Council,
The Fire Department responded to 45 calls for service in the month of November. Members participated in 16 hours of scheduled training and numerous hours of online, out of area, and on-duty proficiency training. The department has responded to 426 calls in 2024.

November 2024 Calls
The Dooryard burn ban was lifted Friday, November 1st. Dooryard burning is permitted within Town Limits with a valid burn permit. Permits are available at the fire station during regular business hours.

We conducted multiple rounds of interviews for our FEMA SAFER Grant Recruitment and Retention position. We have a candidate that has accepted the position. Start date is currently TBD.

Our seasonal firefighter positions ended as of Dec 1st. These two positions were instrumental throughout the summer in allowing us adequate station staffing to enable us to send apparatus on various fire assignments throughout the state; earning the department in excess of $200,000 to help us continue to be able to make crucial operational purchases.

Public Works Report
November 2024
Sewer
We recorded all the daily readings at the wastewater treatment plant and compiled them into a usable form. We completed the CIWQS reporting for the month. There were no sanitary sewer spills in the month of November. We dug up the sewer and water mains on Don Street to see where they are located and how deep, for E and S engineering.

We responded to an emergency sewer main backup on Hwy 3. Because the manhole is in the path of travel of Hwy 3, we set up cones and traffic control while we were working. We were able to unplug the sewer main, restoring service to those affected.

We corresponded with SHN engineering about the new WWTF grant, specifically a Quit Claim Deed for the new sewer plant. We confirmed that it was not recorded with the County Recorders office.

We are working on a new manhole behind the maintenance barn to abandon an older sewer main. After purchasing the parts, it was determined that we also need an impression ring to form the wet mud base to fit the precast barrel. Rogue precast does not rent out impression rings.

We are currently looking for solutions to this problem.

Water
We helped send out notices to parcel owners notifying them of the need to test their backflow devices. We plan to have all the testing/cataloging done on all the known devices before the end of the calendar year.

We are using a new water/sewer billing system, and are learning all about it.

We were able to stop chlorinating the water after a negative test result. The test results for December were negative as well, with no chlorine added. This is a good sign. We read all the meters and entered the information into the billing software. We handed out shut off notices for non-payment. We shut off numerous people for non-payment. The SAFER drought reporting for the month has been completed. We would like to remind the community that if you see anyone filling up a water truck who is not a firefighter or tampering with a fire hydrant without a Town employee present to report it to Town Hall at 530-468-2281.

We located water lines for all submitted 811 requests within the Town.

Parks
We raked up numerous leaves and disposed of them. We completed the project status reports for the various parks grants. We bought a live Christmas tree for Town Hall.

We solicited quotes to re-roof the Museum and the Scout Hall. The Museums roof is shared with the Ace Hardware. They are two different types of roofs, with Ace’s being metal and the Museums roof being shingle. The seam between the two is most likely where water is entering. After speaking with Ace Hardware, it was determined that they have leaks in their roof as well. Since water travels downhill, it is probable that some of the leaks in the museum are in fact coming from leaks in the neighboring building. In an effort to do it once and do it right we are proposing that we, in collaboration with Ace Hardware, reroof that entire side of the building in 50 year metal.

Roads
We removed all of the dead animals that were found during the month and disposed of them. We took out the trash weekly from the Towns trash cans. We located the Towns storm drains for all 811 requests. We started cleaning the gutters and catch basins to get ready for the wet season. We filled in a sink hole on Scott River Road.

We ordered some cold patch to fix various potholes around Town. We used the cold patch on various potholes around Town. We wanted to thank the Town for allowing us to purchase this much needed substance.

We caught a dog that has been habitually running loose on Hwy 3 and put him in the kennel to be hopefully rehomed.

We are looking forward to the rehab of Scott River Road which was made possible by an RSTP grant in the amount of $50,000 dollars. It will crack patch and chip seal all of the Towns portion of Scott River Road.

CLERK
• Transition to Munibilling: The focus of November has been facilitating the transition to Munibilling, the town’s new water/sewer utility billing software. This has involved three meetings per week, along with data entry of 397 service locations, over 400 customers, along with their balances and other information. Our previous data was of poor integrity, which necessitated manual entry. • Business Licenses: Work has continued on rectifying the expiration and non-renewal of the majority of business licenses in town. With the transition of the water software mostly complete, this will be a focus in December.
• Facility Rentals: Facility rentals have continued to be busy with the holidays, as well as the MAD Players booking multiple slots for this year’s production of their town melodrama. • Collaboration with Public Works: In support of and in conjunction with the Public Works Department, we sent out letters to the businesses requiring a Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) license, as well as first and second round letters to those service locations requiring backflowing testing, in order to remain in compliance with state standards and regulations. Additionally, from the period of September 4th through December 3rd, with the support and collaboration of Public Works, we have recouped $18,488.25 of utility debt owed to the town of Fort Jones. Most of this debt was between four months and two years old.

6. Review and discuss possible action to approve the Job Certification and Continuing Education Policy.

Public Comments: M. De Andreis asked for a copy of the policy.

Discussion: Discussion ensued between staff and council bringing concerns that the limitations of this policy would create an environment where employees lack encouragement or motivation to improve and progress. The question of the current salary cap was raised. M. Garcia stated that the town administrator can always request raises for employees that exceed the cap. Public Works said that he is required by regulation to appoint a stand-in if he cannot work. M. Garcia said that D. Dunn could be designated and that the discussion had moved beyond the scope of the agenda. J. Cox stated that as it stands it is only for Public Works as the only cert required for her position simply requires a couple years wait, and no other positions require certs. The council asked E. Hullquist if he had T1 and T2 certification, which was answered affirmatively. A citizen asked who wrote the policy. The council responded the policy committee, and after being asked who was on it responded with K. Banks, M. Garcia, and L. Gemaehlich, although T. Eastlick had previously been a member. A citizen asked if the policy had gone through legal counsel, council responded that it hadn’t but could. A. LaRiviere said that a raise is a good idea. The council said these policies are already in place and this just gives parameters.

Motion: K. Banks moves to approve the Job Certification and Continuing Education Policy.

Second: A. LaRiviere
Ayes: M. Garcia, K. Banks, M. Eayrs, A. LaRiviere, J. Collie-Mason Nays: None.

Abstain: None.

Motion: Passes.

Discussion: None.

Motion: A. LaRiviere moves to approve the agreement between the town of Fort Jones and the Fort Jones Neighborhood Garden.

Second: M. Eayrs
Ayes: M. Garcia, K. Banks, M. Eayrs, A. LaRiviere, J. Collie-Mason Nays: None.

Abstain: None.

Motion: Passes.

8. Review and discuss current state of water and sewer infrastructure.

Public Comments: M. De Andreis asked if this was about CALTRANS 2031. Response was negative.

Discussion: Public Works discussed concerns about what to do when it fails, it is important to be proactive. There are ten to fifteen areas in town in dire need. There is infiltration from when rainwater rises. The council asked if we are currently at a stage of emergency, and therefore should be looking at ways to fund. Public Works explained that the state is well aware of the situation via reports, and that they primarily focus on sewer spills. The pond and water tanks are already being addressed. Chief Short mentioned that Etna was in a similar situation and raised their rates. Public Works responded that our water rate raises are being held up by the audits. The last water feasibility study was in 2005. Public Works said their first priorities are a back up generator, a 2nd well, and steel lines like they are starting to Douglas Street, as little repairs add up.

9. Review and discuss Public Works duties, certifications, efficiency, and best use.

Public Comments: None.

Discussion: Council was concerned about water testing and if it was required to have certification to treat it, it is not, but E. Hullquist does have it. It is not required due to the small population of the town. If the positive tests continue the town would need to go to year-round testing. Leaky and aging pipes are the biggest cause of coliform. E. Hullquist commented that the job descriptions as approved by the council do not accurately reflect what he does day to day. J.

Cox commented her agreement that the job descriptions do not accurately reflect his duties and that he works incredibly hard. E. Hullquist said he believed more certs just benefit the town. M.

Garcia responded that again the town administrator can bring raises etc. to council anytime and they are not limited to the salary cap.

10. Review, introduce, and approve first reading of Ordinance 2024-1 regarding amending Title 13: Public Services and Title 18: Zoning.

Public Comments: None.

Discussion: K. Banks indicated this was mandatory and done by the attorney.

Motion: K. Banks moves to introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance 2024-1 regarding amending Title 13: Public Services and Title 18: Zoning and consider it for adoption by title only.

Second: A. LaRiviere
Ayes: M. Garcia, K. Banks, M. Eayrs, A. LaRiviere, J. Collie-Mason Nays: None.

Abstain: None.

Motion: Passes.

11. Review and discuss possible action to approve the annual Fort Jones Lions’ Christmas Parade.

Public Comments: None
Discussion: M. Eayrs commented that this is the 56th year.

Motion: K. Banks moves to approve the annual Fort Jones Lions’ Christmas Parade.

Second: A. LaRiviere
Ayes: M. Garcia, K. Banks, M. Eayrs, A. LaRiviere, J. Collie-Mason Nays: None.

Abstain: None.

Motion: Passes.

STAFF COMMENTS: None.

COUNCIL COMMENTS: K. Banks said that serving had been a pleasure and good luck. M.

Eayrs said ditto, and that the two years had been an eye opener, there had been a lot of work done and there is a lot more to do.

Title 13 PUBLIC SERVICES
Chapter 13.04 In General
Fort Jones, California, Code of Ordinances

CHAPTER 13.04 In General

13.04.060 - Priority for affordable housing developments.

A. For the purpose of this section, moderate-, low- and very low-income persons shall be defined as set forth in California Health and Safety Code Sections 50079.5 and 50105.

B. In any given year at the time any water or sewer equivalency units allocation are authorized by the city council, priority on the residential building permit waiting list shall be given for developments which provide a minimum of fifty percent of housing which will be guaranteed to be affordable to persons and families with moderate, low and very low incomes; provided:
a. Developments which provide one hundred percent affordable housing shall have priority over projects which provide fifty percent affordable housing. The remaining permits shall be allocated in accordance with the existing waiting list.
b. Developments which provide a minimum of fifty percent of affordable housing including a minimum of twenty-five percent affordable to low- and very low-income families shall have a priority over projects which do not provide units for low and very low-income families. c. Not more than fifty percent of the building permits allocated each year by the City Council shall be so prioritized over existing residences.

C. An applicant desiring low-income housing priority shall submit to the public works department, a written request for such priority, listing the applicant/owner, the address and legal description of the project property, and written deed restrictions and agreements as approved by the city attorney, restricting the sale and occupancy of the affordable units in the project to moderate-, low- or very low-income persons for a period of thirty years after completion of the housing project. Upon receipt of this information and agreements, the applicant's property will be placed on a separate low-income housing waiting list for either single-family or multiple-family projects in the order in which the requests are received by the city to be eligible for priority in the following year's water or sewage services allocation.

D. If a project due to be awarded water or sewage services fails to qualify or submit sufficient deed restrictions and agreements, as required in this section, prior to the award of water or sewage services, or voluntarily withdraws, then the project shall be removed from the priority list and shall be returned to its original position on the long-term building allocation waiting list.

E. The City, at its option, may contract with a nonprofit housing agency to provide for administration of various aspects of deed restrictions, agreements and other procedures to ensure the effectiveness of this program to provide long-term low-income housing. Costs for such services shall be borne by the applicant/developer.

The Town of Fort Jones ___________________________________________________________________________ 1 To: Fort Jones Town Council
Meeting Date: December 09, 2024
From: Leslie Tharp
Subject: Review and Discuss Possible Action to Approve the Library’s Request for Signage. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

I, Leslie Tharp, the Fort Jones Public Library Manager, along with The Friends of the Fort Jones Library Board would like to propose signage on the Town Hall building. We currently have road signs showing that we have a library facing North, one facing South on Hwy 3, and at the corner of Sterling and East to guide our community.

However, over the last 8 months we have had numerous claims, as recently as last week, from community members saying that they did not know that there was public library located in the Town of Fort Jones. It is imperative for the growth and continued success of our library for our community to be aware of this vital resource. In addition to regular offerings of library materials, we connect patrons and collaborate with other important nonprofit groups in our valley and county for the betterment of our community.

We would like to ask the Town Council for consideration of the following:

1. Would the Town Council allow a sign to be installed on the building below the Town of Fort Jones medallion reading PUBLIC LIBRARY?

2. Would the Council consider also having a sign showing COMMUNITY HALL, TOWN OFFICES, or other verbiage along with the PUBLIC LIBRARY sign for community members?

3. Would the Council consider paying for a portion or half of the expense of the signage in either scenario? Attached are bids and sign examples.

Agenda Item #5

The Town of Fort Jones ___________________________________________________________________________ 1 To: Fort Jones Town Council
Meeting Date: December 09, 2024
From: Town of Fort Jones Staff
Subject: Review and Discuss Possible Action to Approve a Set of Standards and Guidelines for the Establishment and Maintenance of Town Committees. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

The Town of Fort Jones historically has had both Ad Hoc and Standing Committees. At this time, there is no procedure in place for the creation, establishment, or renewal of necessary committees. A set of guidelines that establish a minimum and/or maximum number of committee members are required, how many of those are from the council, how many of those are from the community, how those members are chosen, whether there needs to be a public invitation, and other mechanisms for administration would allow for a more effective and efficient implementation.

Recommendation:

It is recommended by the Town of Fort Jones Staff that the council approve a set of standards and guidelines for the establishment and maintenance of Town committees.

Agenda Item #6
The Town of Fort Jones ___________________________________________________________________________ 1 To: Fort Jones Town Council
Meeting Date: December 09, 2024
From: Madeleine De Andreis
Subject: Discuss and Possibly Take Action to Re-Establish the Fort Jones Economic Development Council and Appoint New Members.
__________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

The Town of Fort Jones has utilized the services of the Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) under the direction of the Siskiyou Economic Development Office in creating the Fort Jones Economic Development Committee. This committee has been working for approximately 3 years on town improvement projects including the Paul Garrison Pavilion and others. We ask that this committee be recognized as working with the Fort Jones Town Council and as such be able to utilize town resources in the furtherance of town economic goals. The committee should consist of one or more members of the town council and an agreed upon number of community members. The committee meets once a month or as determined by project goals.

We ask the Town Council to re-establish this committee and appoint new members.

Agenda Item #7
The Town of Fort Jones
___________________________________________________________________________ 1 To: Fort Jones Town Council
Meeting Date: December 09, 2024
From: Fort Jones Town Hall Staff
Subject: Review and Discuss Possible Action to Approve the Early Closure of Fort Jones Town Hall on Christmas Eve.
__________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

The Fort Jones Town Hall Employee Handbook provides for closure of Town Hall Christmas Day and the day after as two of the twelve paid holidays off for Town staff. Multiple of the Town’s current staff celebrate holiday festivities with their families on Christmas Eve. We respectfully request the council allows for Christmas Eve to be a half day, and for Town Hall to close at noon. This allows for staff to spend this time with their families, as well as travel to any out-of-town festivities with greater ease.

Recommendation:

It is recommended by the Fort Jones Town Hall staff that the council approves the early closure of Fort Jones Town Hall at noon on Christmas Eve.

Agenda Item #8
The Town of Fort Jones
___________________________________________________________________________ 1 To: Fort Jones Town Council
Meeting Date: December 09, 2024
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Review and Discuss Possible Action to Approve the Disbursement of Schooling, Testing, Licensing, and Fuel Fees for Kevin Hullquist’s WasteWater 1 License. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

The Town of Fort Jones owns and operates a wastewater treatment facility. We have one certified WasteWater 1 operator who acts as Chief Plant operator when he is at work. When he is on vacation, or unable to perform his duties, the regulations state that he is to designate an Operator in Charge while he is away. This Operator in Charge needs to have the WW1 license to operate the plant. It is illegal to employ someone who does not have a valid unexpired Operator license at a wastewater treatment facility. This is expected to cost less than $500.00 over the course of two to three years.

Recommendation:

It is recommended by the Town of Fort Jones Public Works Department that the council approve the disbursement of schooling, testing, licensing, and fuel fees for Kevin Hullquist’s WasteWater 1 License.

Agenda Item #9

___________________________________________________________________________ 1 To: Fort Jones Town Council
Meeting Date: December 09, 2024
From: Public Works Department
Subject: Review and Discuss Possible Action to Approve the Disbursement of Licensing Fees For Everett Hullquist’s WasteWater 2 License.
__________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

The Town of Fort Jones is currently in the process of upgrading the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The new proposed plant will be more advanced than what is currently there, and will require a higher level of certified operator to run it. Everett has passed the WW2 exam, and now has enough experience to apply for his WW2 certificate. This will satisfy the new plant’s operator requirements. The fee for this license is $169.00.

Recommendation:

It is recommended by the Town of Fort Jones Public Works Department that the council approve the disbursement of licensing fees for Everett Hullquist’s WasteWater 2 License.

Agenda Item #10
The Town of Fort Jones ___________________________________________________________________________ 1 To: Fort Jones Town Council
Meeting Date: December 09, 2024
From: Town of Fort Jones Staff
Subject: Review and Discuss Possible Action to Amend the Job Certifications and Continuing Use Policy.
__________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

The Town of Fort Jones current policy requires that all continuing education/certificate fees must be approved by the Council. Pursuant to the Town of Fort Jones Municipal Code, these day-to-day items should be under the purview of the Town Administrator. Additionally, this proposal removes the three item cap.

Attached are the proposed Job Certification Policy and the Job Certification Policy from November 12, 2024.

Recommendation:

It is recommended by the Town of Fort Jones Staff that the council approves the amendment to the Job Certifications and Continuing Use Policy.

Agenda Item #11
The Town of Fort Jones ___________________________________________________________________________ 1 To: Fort Jones Town Council
Meeting Date: December 09, 2024
From: Public Works
Subject: Review, Discuss, and Create a Plan of Action to Address the Blockage and Obstruction of Moffett Creek Drainage.
__________________________________________________________________________________________ Background:

The Town of Fort Jones is in a flood zone. It also has a seasonal creek flow through Town. The creek occasionally floods, inundating homes and businesses with flood water. The creek is becoming increasingly blocked by willows, trees and other obstacles, increasing the flood risk. A plan of action needs to be created to help mitigate this risk.

Attached is an email from Janae Scruggs, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Recommendation:

It is recommended by the Public Works Department that the council creates a plan of action to address the blockage and obstruction of Moffett Creek Drainage to help mitigate the flood risk.

Everett,
Thank you for taking my call on Friday. Congratulations on the little one.

I understood Fort Jones Public Works is interested in removing dead, dying, or live vegetation in the bed, bank and/or channel of Moffett Creek. As we talked further about the scope of the Public Works Department, we discussed a routine agreement might be a better solution for work in other locations to alter the bed, bank, or channel and/or flow of the stream within city limits. I have provided below additional information on CDFW’s Lake and Streambed Alteration Notification and Other Agencies below.

CDFW Lake and Streambed Alteration Notification
The notification process is online with our EPIMS Online Permitting Portal (https://epims.wildlife.ca.gov/index.do ). You will need to create an account which will track your notification and the progress between you and myself, or other Department representatives, once you formally submit the notification. Within the program, make sure to identify the type as Notify for Standard Agreement (Cannabis and nonCannabis) or Routine Maintenance Agreements, and the location or region of CDFW as Region 1(Inland). The portal can come later once your “project” has been defined.

Additional information to assist with submitting your notification can be found at:

1. The Department’s website for Lake and/or Streambed Alteration Agreements https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Environmental-Review/LSA

2. Fee Schedule and Definitions
https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=216787 (This will outline cost for both standard agreements and routine agreements, and provide definitions of terms found in the notification portal.)
Other Agencies
As I mentioned on the call likely California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and Army Corps of Engineers may have jurisdiction. USFWS and NOAA may be needed but that would be at the discretion of Army Corps. Attached is contact information. I would start with North Coast Region of SWRCB. They may direct you to also talk with the San Francisco District – Eureka Office for Army Corps of Engineers.

Again, local CDFW staff are available to meet with you and/or City staff to discuss the City’s needs and best permitting pathways.

Thanks,
