STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: September 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Aaron Felmlee, Finance Director
THROUGH: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Finance Department Monthly Report
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Receive report as an informational item.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) Prior Period Adjustment (PPA):

The Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) is the authorizing document that enables the Successor Agency to proceed with winding down the affairs of the former Fortuna Redevelopment Agency and make payments to all its enforceable obligations and projects in progress for the fiscal year. The City, as the successor to the former Fortuna Redevelopment Agency, annually gets approval for its ROPS through the Humboldt County Oversight Board and historically receives between $700 thousand and $1.1 million through the ROPS approval process (January of each year) to wind down the former Fortuna Redevelopment Agency’s activities.

Pursuant to Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 34186 (c), Agencies are required to submit their PPA form to the County Auditor-Controller (CAC) for review by October 1, 2022. This form reports the differences between the estimated obligations on past ROPS and the actual expenditures. Agencies must report the actual expenditures that were expended three years earlier than the upcoming annual ROPS period. Failure to submit the PPA report can result in lost revenue to the City in future ROPS submissions. Finance staff is pleased to announce that the City’s PPA has been submitted and received by the California Department of Finance.

Fiscal Year 2022-23 Financial Statement Audit:

July 1 commenced the start of a new fiscal year for the City. Staff is working on closing the previous fiscal year and preparing for the City’s annual financial statement audit. The Cities auditor will be Michael O’Connor from R.J. Ricciardi, Inc., CPA who also performed last year’s audit for the City. Last year Michael and his staff were unable to come onsite due to COVID which made the interim audit work more difficult and time consuming to complete. However, this year Michael and his staff are planning to come on site for a week to conduct interim audit work during the month of September or October.

Consent Calendar Item 3d.

Page 2 of 2 ends

Finance staff will be preparing for this interim audit work by preparing the necessary reconciliations, reports, adjustments and backup information that is required during the audit process. Having these documents ready prior to the auditors’ arrival has provided for a smooth audit process in years past.

Measure E Update:

The Measure E committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting is set for September 19, 2023 at 5:30pm. The primary purpose of this meeting will be for Staff to review with the Committee the list of Measure E funded projects that were included in the Council Adopted Budget for fiscal year 2023-24 and review preliminary results for FY 2022-23 for revenues and expenditures.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Public Works Director/City Engineer
Police Facility Remodel Project
The project continues to progress at a suitable pace. Over the past month, all building addition footprints have been constructed, and trusses and sheeting have been placed. Additionally, the covered walkway and roof extension near the building entry have been constructed. Over the next month, Sequoia anticipates completing most of the HVAC system, and the electrical contractor will also mobilize to begin re-wiring the building. In conjunction, Redwood Empire Roofing will be completing the new roof areas, and Sequoia and their subcontractor will begin site work improvements, including grading, concrete, and some prep work for parking lot paving.

Currently, the project is still within the originally established construction contingency, however, staff do anticipate that some necessary change orders will require an adjustment to the budget.

Although staff are still working on quantifying the exact budgetary needs, the current estimate for additional funding is approximately $250,000 (or about a 7.5% project budget increase). Staff hope to have a clearer view of the final costs required to deliver the finished project, and hope to present a project update and budget adjustment request in October.

Water Tank Coating Project
The interior and exterior coating at Campton Tank is anticipated to be completed on September 13th, and pending final water system test results, the tank is expected to be back online the following week. Overall the project has gone very well, and will finish well within the established project budget.
12th Street Stormwater LID Project
The project was substantially completed in mid-August, and the only remaining items of work include the final pavement restoration at 12th and K Streets, striping restoration, and planting.

Paving at the intersection is anticipated to occur in early October, and the paving will include the entire intersection to encompass all trench patches created by the project. Planting is anticipated to be completed in November, when rains have begun, which will reduce or eliminate the need for staff to irrigate the basins in order for plants to become established. Overall the project came in within budget, and only approximately 50% of the construction contingency was required to Consent Calendar Item 3g

complete the project. Staff are currently reaching out to the State to determine if another budget adjustment can be requested, which if granted would reimburse the City for 90% of the construction contingency dollars used.
12th Street Utility Undergrounding Project
Staff received confirmation from AT&T that they are scheduled to perform the final utility ‘cutover’ from the aerial services on 12th Street, to the newly installed underground services, on October 4th and 5th (overnight). Once that activity is completed, AT&T will schedule a restoration contractor to remove all existing poles and overhead lines on 12th Street, in between L Street and Clendenen’s. After receiving confirmation on dates when the poles will be removed, staff will schedule the City’s contractor to install the two remaining solar lights along 12th Street.

Mill Creek Habitat Connectivity Project
In early August staff brought to the Council a resolution of support for a grant application that staff were applying for, which would pay 100% of the cost for developing fish-friendly culvert crossings at four locations along Mill Creek. Staff were informed in late August that the grant was approved, for approximately $960,000. Staff will work in the coming months to contract with the GHD team for the project, and further information will be provided at the council meeting where the contract will be presented, likely in late October.

Utilities Division- Utility Lead

Wastewater Events & Maintenance Tasks Completed:
 Wendt Construction assisted staff with their large crane in re-installing the screening drum in the trommel screen at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) (see photo inset right).

Wendt helped remove the screen last month so staff could install new drive wheels and other parts for this machine, which is crucial in plant compost operations.
 Staff replaced one of the two, 6” Gorman-Rupp plant sump pumps at the WWTP with a back-up unit after the existing one failed. The original pump had been in service every day since 1975!
 Staff completed rehabilitation work on the grit channel, reinstalling rebuilt components, including drive shafts, sprockets, chain, and flights. Staff then placed the unit back in service after over a year of being out of service, waiting on parts and conditions to allow for rehabilitation. The channel is now ready to remove grit in the upcoming rainy season.  Staff worked with a consultant engineer on the completion of the required 5-year update of the City’s Sewer System Management Plan. This document details the operations and maintenance of the City’s sewer infrastructure, including a mandatory update of the Spill Emergency Response Plan.

 A professional technician conducted the annual certification of the chlorine and sulfur dioxide ton tank hoist at the WWTP.
 Staff cleaned out the overflow pond at the WWTP, dewatering, removing vegetation, and settled solids. This task is necessary to prepare the pond before the rainy months.  As soon as staff completed cleaning out the overflow pond, CalTrans approached the City about disposing of construction nuisance water from their rehabilitation project at Fernbridge. The City allowed for the discharge of this contaminated water (for a fee) into the overflow pond, where staff would meter it back into the plant. This operation lasted for a week, in which time CalTrans contractors hauled 716 4000-gallon truckloads to the Fortuna WWTP—almost 3 million gallons total. Staff have to date sent most of the water back into the plant, and providing this service for the project helped keep construction moving at Fernbridge.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The River Lodge and Monday Club held a total of 30 events in the month of August.

Sandra Dale, of the Fortuna Union High School, finished a four-day conference for agriculture teachers. Teachers from as far away as southern California, came to take part in this very enthusiastic training. The conference ended with s’mores and a bonfire on the last night.

Sandra Dale hosted another event in August also. She coordinates the staff development day for the Fortuna Union High School teachers. This is the second year for both of these events.

There were four Celebrations of Life and one Wedding held in the month of August. All of these events took place at River Lodge.

River Lodge, in coordination with Hops in Humboldt and Wendt Construction, hosted the August Chamber mixer at River Lodge. The beach theme followed the theme for Hops in Humboldt and many of the guests dressed in their finest beach attire. This turned out to be a very fun event.

The California League of Cities held a meeting and dinner at River Lodge. The event was coordinated by Mayor, Tami Trent. The evening ended with an amazing sunset, and the perfect backdrop for photos.

The California Department of Fish and Game Commission held a meeting at River Lodge. The two-day event was televised on the internet. The entire production was quite impressive with cameras, television prompters, large screens to view participants in attendance via Zoom, and a sound system. There was a field trip to tour the Bull Creek Hamilton Reach Instream and Floodplain Habitat also. The IT team was pleased with our capabilities and I am hoping that we can host this group again in the future.

For the first time, our outdoor area was reserved for a birthday party. Cameron Mull and I decided during the months of Covid-19 that it could be beneficial to offer an outside area only, rental.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: September 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Casey J. Day, Chief of Police
THRU: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve a new Memorandum of Understanding with Miranda’s Rescue Mission for Animal Care Services
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve a new memorandum of understanding with Miranda’s Rescue Mission for animal care services, which recognize the updated terms for the compensation of services rendered.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Miranda’s Rescue Mission maintains and operates an animal sanctuary in a secure and sanitary manner adequate for the confinement, treatment, and placement of all domestic animals. Miranda’s Rescue Mission accepts animals from the City’s kennel facility and provides the supervision, labor, food, tools, supplies, and other necessary items for the extended care, management, and disposition of the animals. The City’s partnership with Miranda’s Rescue Mission has reduced costs and staff time involved with providing long-term kennel care in the City’s animal control and kennel facility.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Fortuna has historically utilized the services of Miranda’s Rescue Mission to provide extended animal control services including shelter for the secure and humane impoundment and disposition of stray, abandoned, abused, or otherwise neglected animals. In prior years, this partnership has reduced costs and staff time involved with long term care of animals in the City’s kennel facility beyond ten (10) days.

The current MOU with Miranda’s Rescue Mission expired in June of 2023. The City budgets approximately $1200.00 per month for associated services and associated veterinary expenses. In previous MOU’s, Miranda’s Rescue Mission received a monthly payment of $500.00 for services rendered. In addition to the monthly payment, Miranda’s Rescue Mission also previously received the amount left over from unexpended monthly allocations; per contractual agreement.

For current and future MOU’s, staff is recommending a change to the terms of the MOU in order to eliminate unnecessary costs associated with the aforementioned provision which contractually obligated the City to provide Miranda’s Rescue Mission with unspent funds which are left over each month.

The new MOU eliminates this clause and recognizes a fiscally responsible flat fee of $800.00 per month for compensation to Miranda’s Rescue Mission for services rendered. Staff has checked with alternative service providers throughout Humboldt County including the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control Division and costs associated with these alternate providers is substantially higher.

Consent Calendar Item 3j

FISCAL IMPACT:

The current budget amount adopted for this fiscal year is $20,000.00. With the proposed monthly fee of $800.00 per month, the city will save up to $10,400.00 per year, less whatever is spent for any additional associated expenditures.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Receive staff report.

2. Approve recommended MOU renewal terms.

3. Consent Agenda vote.

5. RATE ADJUSTMENTS
Any request for a rate increase or decrease shall be presented in writing by either party for consideration. Rate increases shall occur only upon written agreement of both parties.

6. SPACE AVAILABILITY
MIRANDA'S will ensure that there is adequate room available for animals under this contract at all times.

Animals shall be delivered to MIRANDA'S by the CITY within 5 days of acquiring spay/neuter procedures or rabies vaccination.

7. EXCLUSIVITY
It is understood and agreed that MIRANDA'S or the CITY may enter into independent agreements with any other public agencies or others, but such agreements shall not in any manner invalidate or interfere with this agreement.

Furthermore, there shall be no deductions under this agreement by reason of any sums received by MIRANDA'S for functions and services rendered under any other such agreement.

8. ANIMAL SANCTUARY
A. Each dog or cat transported by the CITY to MIRANDA'S is to be spayed/neutered and current on their rabies vaccination prior to being delivered.

B. Animals injured and picked up for care or captured within the City limits by operators or employees of MIRANDA'S after hours will require notification to dispatch who will create a documentation call for a CSO to follow-up on when next on duty. Financial responsibility will be determined by CITY policy and CSO review of the situation. If CSO and MIRANDA’s do not agree, then CSO Supervisor will review and make determination.

C. Any unclaimed animal that arrives at the Fortuna Police Department holding facility that demonstrates behavior that may deem the animal unadoptable will be temperament tested by Shannon Miranda and a Fortuna Police Department Community Service Officer. If the animal is determined to be unadoptable by the joint review of the animal's behavior, euthanasia will be at the expense of the Fortuna Police Department. Once accepted by MIRANDA'S ; if the animal is deemed to be unadoptable or in need of further care, that is the sole responsibility MIRANDA'S.

D. MIRANDA'S will maintain and operate an animal sanctuary in a secure and sanitary manner adequate for the confinement, treatment and placement of all domestic animals which may be delivered to it from the CITY, as hereinafter provided, and will furnish all supervision, labor, animal food, tools, supplies, and other things necessary for satisfactory performance of the services herein agreed to be provided. This property may be used by MIRANDA'S for all other uses authorized to MIRANDA'S including contracts with other agencies.

E. MIRANDA'S will provide means to accept animals not in need of immediate veterinary care delivered to the animal sanctuary by CITY. In some cases, MIRANDA'S may pick up animals from the CITY'S animal holding facility.

Whenever possible, CITY shall notify MIRANDA'S prior to the transfer of an animal. MIRANDA'S open hours shall be in accordance with state law.

F. Once an animal has been spayed/neutered/Rabies vaccinated, and Miranda’s verbally agrees to take the animal, and it’s delivered either to a person or the kennel at Miranda’s the animal is deemed to be accepted at that point. CSO’s Fortuna Police Department Casey J. Day – Chief of Police (707) 725-7550 (707)725-7574 (Fax) 621 11th Street - Fortuna, California 95540 www.FriendlyFortuna.com “Working Together, We can make a Difference”

G. For Owner Surrendered animals or animals caught/captured determined to be owned and with outstanding fees owed to the CITY, the CITY shall provide the name and phone number of the animal owner of record to MIRANDA’S at time animal is delivered to MIRANDA’S. The intent is to prevent the use of MIRANDA’s as a manner in which to bypass CITY fees buy animal owners.

H. MIRANDA'S will keep timely, complete and accurate records of the receipt and disposition of all animals delivered into its custody at the animal sanctuary. Such records shall be made available at MIRANDA'S premises for examination at all reasonable times by authorized representatives of the CITY. Such records shall be maintained for (7) seven years.

I.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: September 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve the Application for Grant Funds from the Reconnecting Communities Grant Programs and authorize the City Manager to Complete Related Documentation; Resolution 2023-27.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the application for grant funds from the Reconnecting Communities Grant Programs and authorize the City Manager to complete related documentation; Resolution 2023-27.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s General Plan identified that the Kenmar Interchange would need to be improved to be able to accommodate the traffic generated by the City’s planned growth. Mitigation measures were included in the General Plan Programmatic Environmental Impact Report that calls for improving city intersections when financially feasible or as development occurs to maintain the level of service (LOS) at acceptable levels.

It is anticipated with the City’s planned growth that the Kenmar Interchange with Highway 101 will not operate at an acceptable level of service without mitigation. Additionally, there are no bike, or pedestrian facilities that allow crossing of Highway 101 to the Riverwalk Area on the westerly side of Highway 101.

Therefore, the City has been steadily working to identify the improvements needed and develop a plan for improving the interchange. In 2016, the City completed a Complete Streets Connectivity Study that identified improvement alternatives for both the Kenmar/101 and the 12th Street/101 interchanges.

The City requested and received $550,000 to complete the preliminary design and environmental documentation phase (PA&ED) of the project in 2018. Caltrans contributed staff time and funding to supplement the project and was an active project partner. The PA&ED phase is essentially complete, and the City adopted the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project on March 20, 2023.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The future growth of the City is dependent on the 12th and Kenmar Interchanges with Highway 101 being improved. Without improvement, future growth of the City will create an Business Item 3k

Page 2 of 3 ends

unacceptable level of service at those intersections. The City has completed the PA&ED phase for the Kenmar Interchange with Highway 101 and has recently initiated the PA&ED phase for the 12th Street Interchange with Highway 101. It is now time for the City to identify funding for the subsequent phases of work to deliver the Kenmar/Highway 101 Improvement Project including the development of the plans and specifications, acquisition of right of way, and construction.

Congress passed the Infrastructure Investment of Jobs Act (IIJA) in 2021 which has directed an unprecedented level of funding for infrastructure projects in excess of $180B over the next 10 years. The IIJA, also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” is a once-in-a-generation investment in the nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness. California receives federal infrastructure funding based on formula and competitive grants. Based on formula funding alone, the IIJA will bring California an estimated $41.9 billion over five years. The improvements to the Kenmar/101 Interchange are estimated to cost $25M.

Based on the funding available, now is an important time for the City to pursue grant funds to improve its interchanges with Highway 101. Because the Kenmar/101 interchange has completed the environmental analysis it is essentially “shovel ready” and will be more competitive for grant funding. Staff have identified two grant programs funded by the IIJA that the Kenmar/101 Interchange will qualify for that do not require a match (most programs require a 50% match).

The two grant programs that the staff would like to pursue are the Federal and State Reconnecting Communities Grant Programs. Each requires a separate application and includes different requirements. These guidelines for these grants were released at the end of June, and applications are due on September 20th and September 28th respectively.

The council approved the contract with California Consulting to assist the city with two grant applications on August 7th, and an increase in the fee on September 5th.

Staff is requesting that the Council adopt this resolution so that it can be submitted to document council support for the project.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Adoption of Resolution 2023-28 and submission of the grant will not result in impacts to the City budget, as no matching funds are being requested of the City. If either of the grants are successful they could provide in excess of $25M for the construction of transportation improvements in the City.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: September 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Mat Nyberg, Public Works Project Manager
THROUGH: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: A Public Hearing to Consider Amendment of the Fortuna Municipal Code Regarding Public Hearing to Consider Amendment of Title 15—Buildings and Construction of the Fortuna Municipal Code by Adding Chapter 15.48— Construction and Demolition Debris Diversion (CD3) Ordinance. Ordinance 2023-762
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the proposed amendments of Title 15—Buildings and Construction of the Fortuna Municipal Code by Adding Chapter 15.48, which incorporates the Construction and Demolition Debris Diversion Ordinance by adopting Ordinance 2023-762.

DISCUSSION:

The Construction and Demolition Debris Diversion Ordinance (CD3) is a California state regulation, which has become part of the Building Code, and is designed to divert nonhazardous recyclable and/or salvageable construction waste material. Construction and demolition waste can have a significant impact on a jurisdiction’s waste stream, and diverting it from landfills can help achieve and maintain diversion goals established by AB 939, California’s Integrated Waste Management Act (1989) where jurisdictions throughout the state were mandated to realize a 50% reduction in their solid waste flow by 2000. Subsequently in 2011, the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) was enacted with the goal of ensuring that new construction projects would be built in compliance with sustainable construction practices. CALGreen mandates locally permitted new residential and non-residential building construction, grading, demolition and certain addition and alteration projects to recycle and/or salvage for reuse a minimum 65% of the nonhazardous construction and demolition debris generated during the project (CALGreen sections 4.408, 5.408, 301.1.1 and 301.3). Jurisdictions have the latitude to adopt their own ordinances that meet or exceed the requirements of CALGreen standards.

Proposed Ordinance:

The attached ordinance amends section 15.48, Buildings and Construction, of the Fortuna Municipal Code by adopting standards that meet CALGreen sections 4.408, 5.408, 301.1.1 and 301.3. The implementation of the CD3 Ordinance will facilitate the city’s compliance with state Business Item 5a

Page 2 of 3 ends

mandates to track, divert and report construction waste that can be recycled or salvaged. The Ordinance ensures ongoing compliance with State standards and will automatically incorporate any future changes to applicable sections of the CALGreen code. The Ordinance also complies with California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy (SB 1383) regulations that require jurisdictions to adopt a construction and demolition diversion ordinance or other enforceable mechanism requiring compliance with CALGreen Building Standards Code.

Ordinance Implementation:

The following provides further information on how projects will comply with CD3 requirements and required documentation to be provided during the building permit process. All construction and demolition projects that require a permit shall submit a Waste Management Plan (WMP), and a Final Report. Staff will provide these forms and informational material on the City website and at City Hall to assist residents, property owners and developers with complying with these regulations. The forms and informational items have been included in Attachments 2-5. Qualifying covered projects will require a security deposit based on size, and an administrative fee to cover the added staff time to process and review the paperwork required on a larger project. Qualifying covered projects are those over 1,000 square feet or with an implementation cost of $200,000 or more. The deposit for qualifying covered residential projects will be $500 and qualifying covered nonresidential projects will have a deposit of 0.25% of the total cost or $500, whichever is greater.

In order to successfully navigate the permitting process, applicants will be required to complete CD3 documentation. In addition to existing permit application submittals, applicants will need to complete the City’s WMP form with estimates of quantities of debris types and destination identification. Qualifying project applicants will also need to pay a deposit as noted above. When the project is complete, a Final Report Form with actual quantities and documentation from receiving facilities will be required to get a final inspection and recuperate deposits as applicable.

There are some exemptions. Immediate or emergency demolition required to protect the public health, safety or welfare, as determined by a public safety official or code compliance officer shall be considered a non-covered/exempt project. Further, if an applicant for a covered project believes that circumstances exist which make it infeasible to comply with the diversion requirement; the applicant may apply for an exemption at the time of the WMP submittal. The City’s Compliance Official shall review the information supplied by the applicant and may grant an exemption or potentially a reduction diversion percentage for the project. Denials will be eligible for an appeal process. The first step in an appeal would be at the staff level (appeal to the City Manager), and the second step would be to the Council. The proposed appeal fees are consistent with others in the budget, and are presented in the fiscal impact section below.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no immediate fiscal impact to the City budget as a result of adopting the CD3 ordinance.

As noted above, three additional fees would be added to the fee schedule as a result of this ordinance. The first is an Administrative Fee that is meant to capture the staff time required to process the paperwork and enforce the ordinance for covered projects large enough to also require a deposit. As stated in the ordinance, the proposed fee for a covered project would be equal to three fully-burdened staff time hours of the ‘compliance official’, who in the City’s case would be the building official.

6. Residential excavation and grading projects associated with new construction, additions, and alterations projects covered subsections (A)(1) and (A)(3) above that require grading permits pursuant to the requirements of this Code
For the purposes of determining whether a project meets the foregoing thresholds for a covered project, all phases of the project and all related projects taking place on a single or adjoining parcel shall be deemed a single project.

B. Non-covered Projects. Immediate or emergency demolition required to protect the public health, safety or welfare, as determined by a public safety official or code compliance officer shall be considered a non-covered project. Projects eligible for an exemption as described in the (CalGreen) Mandatory Residential and NonResidential Measures shall be considered “non -covered.” C. Building and Demolition Permits: Compliance with the provisions of this chapter shall be identified as a condition of approval on any building or demolition permit issued for a covered project.

15.48.020 Submission of the Waste Management Plan (WMP).

A. WMP Form. All applicants for covered projects shall complete and submit a WMP in accordance with a City-approved format (paper form or online system) as part of the application requirements for a building, grading or demolition permit. The completed WMP shall include all of the following:

1. Identification of C&D debris material to be generated by the project and be diverted from disposal by recycling, reuse, or salvage;

2. For each type of C&D debris material, declare whether the disposal method will be “Recycle”, “Salvage” or “Landfill”;

3. For each type of C&D debris material which will be diverted, identification of the vendor or facility that will collect or receive the material and identify the approved or certified diversion rate achieved by that vendor or facility.

4. Specify that the amount of construction and demolition waste materials diverted shall be calculated by weight or volume, but not by both.

B. Deconstruction and Material Salvage. In preparing the WMP, applicants for building or demolition permits involving the removal of all or part of an existing structure shall consider deconstruction to the maximum extent feasible, and shall make the materials generated thereby available for salvage prior to being transported for disposal to a recycling center, transformation facility, or landfill.

15.48.025 Diversion Security Deposit Required
Each applicant of a covered project involving structures of at least 1,000 square feet or estimated construction costs of at least $200,000 shall submit as part of the WMP a diversion security deposit, in cash or by irrevocable letter of credit. These qualifying covered residential projects will require a deposit of $500 and qualifying covered nonresidential projects will require a deposit in the amount of one quarter percent (1/4 %) of the total costs for the project or $500, whichever is greater. The deposit shall be returned, without interest, in total or in proportion, upon the WMP compliance official’s determination, in accordance with Section 15.48.040 that the applicant has satisfied, or failed to satisfy, the diversion requirement approved as part of the WMP. For the purposes of this Section, the value of the Project shall be as determined by the City’s Building Official or designee in connection with permit issuance. The square footage and valuation thresholds established by this Section may be adjusted every five (5) years by the City Manager or his/her designee to reflect an increase or decrease in the cost of construction due to inflation or deflation, or other changes in the local construction marketplace.

15.48.030 Diversion Exemption.

A. Application. If an applicant for a covered project believes that circumstances exist which make it infeasible to comply with the diversion requirement, the applicant may apply for an exemption at the time that he or she submits the WMP as required by section 15.48.020 of this chapter. The applicant shall state on the WMP form the maximum rate of diversion the applicant believes is feasible for each type of C&D debris material and the specific circumstances why the applicant believes it is infeasible to comply with the diversion requirement.

B. WMP Compliance Official Review. The WMP compliance official shall review the information supplied by the applicant and may meet with the applicant to discuss possible ways of meeting the diversion requirement. Based on the information supplied by the applicant, the official shall determine whether it is possible for the applicant to meet the diversion requirement.

C. Granting the Exemption. If the WMP compliance official determines that it is infeasible for the applicant to meet the diversion requirement, the official shall put the reasons for this determination in writing based on the criteria contained in subsection “E” below. The WMP compliance official shall determine the maximum feasible diversion rate for each C&D debris material and shall indicate this rate on the WMP application submitted by the applicant. The official shall then determine the diversion rate which will be applicable for the project. The official shall return a copy of the WMP application to the applicant marked “Approved for Infeasibility Exemption” and shall notify the building department that the WMP has been approved provided that the applicant has posted the required diversion security deposit.

D. Denial of Exemption. If the WMP compliance official determines that it is possible for the applicant to meet the 65 percent (or other percentage as stipulated by CalGreen) diversion requirement specified in Section 15.48.010, the official shall state the reasons therefore in writing based on the criteria contained in subsection “E” below. The applicant shall have 30 days to resubmit a WMP application that complies with Section 15.48.010. If the applicant fails to resubmit the WMP, or if the resubmitted WMP does not satisfy the requirements of Section 15.48.020(B), the official shall deny the WMP in accordance with Section 15.48.030(D). An extension may be requested for a fixed period of time.

E. Criteria. In determining whether to approve or deny an application for an exemption from the diversion requirement, the WMP compliance official shall base his or her written determination on the following criteria.

1. The presence or absence of exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the project that do not apply to similar projects.

2. A determination of whether the granting the exemption constitutes a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations imposed on like projects.

3. In determining whether to approve or deny an application for an exemption, the cost to the applicant of satisfying the diversion requirement shall not be the primary reason for granting an exemption although cost may be a factor in the official’s determination of whether there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the project.

15.48.035 Review of the Waste Management Plan (WMP).

A. WMP Approval Required For Issuance of Construction Permits. No building or demolition permit shall be issued or approved for any covered project unless and until the WMP has been approved.

B. WMP Approval. A WMP shall be approved only if the official determines that the following conditions have been satisfied:

1. The WMP form submitted by the applicant satisfies all of the requirements specified in Section 15.48.020 and the official has determined that the form is complete.

2. The applicant demonstrates to the WMP Compliance Official’s satisfaction, that at least 65% (or other percentage as stipulated by CalGreen) of the C&D debris for the covered project, or an alternative percentage approved by the official as part of the infeasibility exemption, will be diverted. WMP Compliance Official may request additional documentation of diversion or reuse as applicable as a part of this review.

3. The applicant has posted the required diversion security deposit (if applicable).

15.48.040 Determination of Compliance and Release of Diversion Security Deposit A. WMP Final Submission. Within 30 days after the completion of construction for any covered project, the applicant shall submit to the WMP Compliance Official documentation that the applicant has met the diversion requirement for the project.

This documentation shall include the following:

1. A copy of the previously approved WMP for the project with actual material volume or weight generated by the project; and

2. Receipts and/or disposal weight records from both disposal and recycling facilities and/or vendors that received each material showing whether the material was landfilled or recycled; and

3. Any additional information that the applicant believes is relevant to determining its efforts to comply in good faith with this chapter.

4. Any additional information requested by the WMP Compliance Official that is relevant to determining efforts to comply in good faith with this chapter.

B. Weighing of C&D Debris Materials. Applicants shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that all C&D waste diverted or landfilled is measured and recorded using the most accurate method of measurement available. To the extent practical, all C&D debris shall be weighed by measurement on scales. Such scales shall be in compliance with all regulatory requirements for accuracy and maintenance. For C&D debris for which weighing is not practical due to small size or to other considerations, a volumetric measurement shall be used. For conversion of volumetric measurements to weight, the applicant shall use the standardized conversion rates provided by the City for this purpose.

C. Determination of Compliance. The WMP Compliance Official shall review the information submitted by the applicant and determine whether the applicant has complied with the diversion requirement.

D. Full Compliance. If the official determines that the applicant has fully complied with the diversion requirement applicable to the project as contained in the approved WMP, the official shall release the full diversion security deposit to the applicant.

E. Less Than Full Compliance: If the WMP compliance official finds that the applicant has not satisfied the diversion requirement for the project, the official shall calculate the applicant’s percentage rate of compliance. The official shall then determine whether the applicant has made a good faith effort to comply with the diversion requirement. In making this determination, the official shall consider the availability of markets for the C&D debris, the size of the project, and the documented efforts of the applicant to divert the C&D debris. The official shall then authorize the release of some or all of the deposit to the applicant. At a minimum, the applicant shall be entitled to a release of that portion of the diversion security deposit which equals the applicant’s percentage rate of compliance.

Therefore, if the applicant has achieved sixty percent (60%) of the diversion requirement for the project, the official shall release at least 60 percent (60%) of the diversion security deposit. The official shall furnish the applicant in writing with the method by which the official calculated the applicant’s percentage of compliance and the reasons for the official’s determination of the amount of the deposit to be released to the applicant.

F. Failure to Submit Documentation. If the applicant fails to submit the documentation required by Section 15.48.040(A) within the required time period of 30 days after the completion of a covered project, the entire diversion security deposit shall be deemed forfeited. The official shall inform the applicant in writing of the forfeiture of the deposit for failure to timely submit the required documentation.

If the documentation is submitted after the required time period, but before the City has informed the applicant in writing, the official shall evaluate whether the applicant has complied with the diversion requirement for the project. However, ten percent (10%) of the deposit shall be deemed forfeited to the City because of the applicant’s failure to submit the required documentation within the required time period.

G. Withdrawal of Building or Demolition Permit Application. The WMP compliance official shall authorize the refund of the entire diversion security deposit if the building or demolition permit is withdrawn or cancelled before any work begins.

H. Use of Retained Diversion Security Deposits. All diversion security deposit monies retained by the City shall be used only for the purpose of administering the program established through this chapter or for the purpose of promoting recycling within the City.

15.48.045 Appeals
A. Appeal to the City Manager or the City Manager’s Designee. An applicant shall have the right to appeal any decision or determination of the WMP compliance official to the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee. The applicant must file a notice of appeal within 10 calendar days from the date of the official’s decision or determination. The notice of appeal shall state the reasons for the appeal as well as all of the evidence and legal arguments upon which the applicant bases the appeal. The appeal must also be accompanied by the appeal fee established by resolution of the City Council. The City Manager or the City Manager’s designee shall schedule the appeal for a hearing and provide the applicant at least five (5) days written notice of the time and place of the hearing. Within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee shall inform the applicant in writing whether the decision or determination of the WMP Compliance Official shall be affirmed, denied or modified.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Agenda Item
DATE: September 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Christopher Christianson, Chief Treatment Plant Operator THROUGH: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the Purchase of a Magnesium Hydroxide Tank and Feed System, Resolution 2023-28
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the purchase of a magnesium hydroxide tank and feed system for the wastewater treatment plant, in an amount not to exceed $60,000.00, by adopting Resolution 2023-28.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Natural, biological processes that are part of the City’s wastewater treatment plant cause a significant drop in pH and alkalinity. To maintain neutral pH conditions for the City’s treated effluent, and thus avoid potential effluent violations, staff have historically used sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) as a pH buffering agent. Sodium hydroxide is a hazardous chemical, and as such its use at the plant has many drawbacks, including:
 Safety hazard to staff. It will burn skin and eyes on contact, and regular personal protective equipment and caution is required to work safely with the chemical.  Very corrosive. Small leaks of sodium hydroxide can cause damage to nearby concrete and buildings, requiring regular corrective maintenance.  High freezing threshold (60˚F). The shed requires constant heating with energy intensive space heaters.
 Toxic if overfed to plant. If accidentally overfed, the microorganisms in the aeration basins will die, which can result in a treatment disruption and subsequent effluent violations.
 High sodium. It adds extra sodium to the treatment process, elevating total dissolved solids (TDS) in the effluent. TDS is a constituent of concern in receiving waters.

Recognizing the drawbacks of sodium hydroxide, but also the reality that pH buffering is required as part of the City’s treatment process, staff began to research alternative methods for pH buffering in 2022. The most promising alternative to caustic soda staff identified is magnesium hydroxide.

This chemical supplies the necessary buffering capacity required in the aeration basins without the downsides:
 Safe. It is nonhazardous and noncorrosive. It will not burn skin and eyes on contact.  Lower freezing threshold (32˚F). This will significantly reduce the level of electrical heating currently in use for caustic soda.

Business Agenda Item 4b

Page 2 of 3 ends

 Nontoxic. If accidentally overfed, the pH will not spike to as high a level as caustic, and thus the microorganisms in the aeration basins will survive.  Less sodium. It will not add extensive TDS discharge levels like caustic.  Improves settling. Magnesium hydroxide also acts as a coagulant that can improve performance in downstream treatment processes.

In addition to the considerations above, the cost of magnesium hydroxide is also more economical than caustic soda. Currently, magnesium hydroxide is approximately 20% cheaper, magnesium hydroxide is also a more effective pH buffer, and thus 40% less chemical is required to achieve the same buffering effect.

With the above considerations in mind, staff began an extended trial with magnesium hydroxide in June 2022 using a demonstration system that was provided by the chemical supply company.

Over the past year-plus, staff have found that the new chemical has proven very reliable, safe, and efficient. Additionally, staff estimate that over the past year the City has saved approximately $40,000 compared to if the City had continued using sodium hydroxide.

With the trial period over and the supply company needing their equipment returned, the City is now faced with the decision to go back to sodium hydroxide, or invest in the equipment required to use magnesium hydroxide from here forward. Given the cost savings, in addition to the highly improved safety and maintenance considerations noted above, staff are recommending that the City switch over to magnesium hydroxide long-term. Staff included budget in the 2023-24 fiscal year budget to cover the cost of the switchover.

Earlier this fiscal year staff began soliciting quotes for a new, 5,000-gallon magnesium hydroxide tank and feed system. This larger tank (larger than the temporary system used over the past year) will mean fewer deliveries per year, which will also save on costs. The City received preliminary quotes, which are still being finalized, and the current estimated cost range is approximately $50,000 - $55,000. As noted further below, staff are seeking approval to award a contract of up to $60,000, and staff would work to finalize quotes after approval and ultimately purchase the system from the lowest responsive bidder.

All quotes for the magnesium hydroxide system were greater than City purchasing limits, as detailed in Fortuna Municipal Code Chapter 2.50.040, which require a formal bidding process.

Staff is requesting that the Council make an exception to formal bidding, according to Section

2.50.070, by finding that the purchasing of the magnesium hydroxide system with the lowest quote is in the City’s best interest. It is staff’s recommendation, based on the information included above, that this purchase is in the best interest of the City, and that formally bidding the purchase is only likely to add cost to the overall procurement of the materials (bonding, advertising, etc.).

Additionally, the use of a pH buffering agent increases during the winter time, and therefore it is in the best interest for the City to have this system installed as soon as possible. Formal bidding the purchase and developing a bid package would be anticipated to add 4-6 weeks to the procurement timeline for the equipment, and therefore would put the City in a more difficult situation with equipment startup should we experience an early winter. Purchasing through quotes would allow staff to initiate the purchase process immediately.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

This project is included in the 2023-2024 wastewater treatment division capital outlay budget in the amount of $75,000 (wastewater enterprise budget). As mentioned above, staff anticipate that Business Agenda Item 4b

Page 3 of 3 ends

the total project cost will be approximately $50,000 - $55,000, and therefore staff are requesting that the council authorize a purchase amount of up to $60,000.

Converting the existing caustic soda feed system and purchasing the magnesium hydroxide tank and feed system should result in an overall savings for the City. Magnesium hydroxide costs less than caustic soda, and because of its chemical properties, it is also a stronger buffering agent. The City will use less magnesium hydroxide than caustic soda, and at a far lower cost. As noted above, staff anticipate that over the past year the City has saved approximately $40,000, which equates to a simple payback period for the entire system at just one-to two years.

2. Open Public Comment

3. Close Public Comment

4. Motion adopt Resolution 2023-28 and read by title only. Voice vote.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Casey J. Day, Chief of Police
THRU: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Supplemental Budget Request for the Purchase of a new Body Worn Camera Program.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve a Supplemental Budget Request (SBR) for the purchase of a new Body Worn Camera program recognizing revenue from the USDA Rural Development Assistance Grant, and provide matching funds from the City’s General Fund Reserves.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On September 6th 2023, the Fortuna Police Department received notification from the USDA that the police department had been selected to be awarded a $50,000.00 grant from their Rural Development Assistance Grant program for the purchase of a new Body Worn Camera program for the police department. The new program would include brand-new camera equipment, digital e-cloud storage, training, and support. The estimated cost for the purchase of the new Body Worn Camera program is $128,830.00 and Motorola Solutions emerged as the low bidder during the competitive bidding process. Motorola Solutions confirmed the costs and estimate (Estimate# 1770166) on September 8th 2023.

BACKGROUND:

Prior to the development of the 2023/2024 budget, staff identified the need for replacement of our body worn camera system. The existing body worn camera program was implemented in May of 2016 and was taken off line in August of 2023 when the systems server failed. Several terabytes of data had to be manually recovered by Nylex and are being stored on a temporary, portable device awaiting transfer to the new e-cloud storage bank. The previous system worked well up until about a year ago. Our previous contract with Motorola ended in October 2022 after Motorola agreed to extend service for an additional year in 2021. Current problems with the prior body worn camera program include a disabled and broken server and data drives, and problems with the cameras, docking station, and other network problems including the inability to download footage.

Body worn camera programs assist the City with risk management and help reduce liability. Body worn cameras also help to increase community trust and help resolve complaints especially when complaints are frivolous. They help to improve accountability and transparency, provide video evidence, reduce uses of force, and assist with training concerns.

Quotes were requested from four (4) reputable vendors and prices ranged from $324,354.23 to $128,830.00.

Ultimately, the City identified Motorola as the preferred provider for several reasons. First, Motorola offered the lowest bid. Additionally, the Fortuna Police Department is already utilizing a Motorola product (Watch Guard) which will make the transition to new Motorola equipment and e-cloud data storage simple and straightforward. It should also be noted, Motorola is the only vendor that will take existing server data and transfer it to the new e-cloud-based storage system free of charge. All other vendors charge per terabyte of data.

Motorola agreed to a contract, which would provide the body-worn cameras and e-cloud storage up front and provide a methodology in which the cost to the City could be paid for at a rate of $25K per year, over the course of five (5) years. During budget discussions, the strategy of including $25k annually over five (5) years rather than paying $128,830.00 upfront was discussed and approved as a way to limit the immediate financial burden on the City during the current Fiscal Year.

However, it is the USDA’s standard to complete projects within the year that grants are approved and disbursed. The award and use of the USDA grant would significantly contribute to overall cost savings for the City but would also require the City to spend an additional $50,000.00 over what was budgeted for in the current fiscal year, thus eliminating the proposed payment plan over five (5) years. However, if the City does not accept and/or use the grant it would cost the City more money over the course of five years and the City would pay $50,000.00 more than it would if accepting and utilizing the grant.

The City submitted two USDA grant applications this year including one for body worn cameras, and one for the replacement of the wheel chair lift at the River Lodge for $27,298.00. The USDA’s typically match is approximately 45-50% of the cost of projects. The USDA indicated that they would likely only be able to consider one of the City’s request given the availability of funds, and therefore, staff informed USDA grant administrators that the City’s priority would be the bodyworn camera program, as the grant fund potential was significantly more than it would be for the wheel chair lift, and both are funded by the City’s General Fund.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The purchase of the new Body Worn Camera program will cost the City $128,830.00. $50,000 is anticipated to come from the USDA Rural Development Assistance Grant and the remaining $78,830 from General Fund Reserves (100-8000-2000). $25,000 is already included in the FY 23/24 budget for this project, and it was anticipated that the City would budget the same amount for the following four years. However, in order to receive the grant funds the City will need to pay for the project in completely up front and not over five (5) years. Therefore it is recommended that an additional $53,830.00 come from the General Fund Reserves (100-8000- 2000) this fiscal year, and no funding in future years.

STAFF REPORT
Business Agenda Item
DATE: September 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Merritt Perry, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve Proposed Community Development Staff Classification and Fulltime Pay-scale Changes STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed staff classification and Full-time Pay Rate Schedule changes for the Community Development Department.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The long-time Deputy Director of Community Development retired on April 18, 2023. Since her retirement, and for some time before, our Community Development Senior Administrative Assistant has taken on a variety of the tasks that would normally be completed by planner in addition to normal administrative tasks, including interpreting laws, codes and regulations and ordinance, interpreting planning and zoning programs, responding to issues and concerns of the public, preparing staff reports for the planning commission, investigating and documenting nuisance complaints and facilitating public hearings, coordinating special projects, reviewing and responding to development proposals and managing the development and implementation of the City’s online building permit and planning application software. There have also been additional tasks that our senior administrative assistant has taken on in the absence of a full time community development director, such as coordinating with the planning consultant, and pursuing long-term planning goals. In general, the senior administrative assistant is operating at a functional level to a planner would be doing. Currently the City does not have a classification for planner, however other jurisdictions have detailed job descriptions that capture the characteristics, duties, skills and other requirements that would be required for that position. Therefore, staff has created a job description for a Planner I/II position, as it accurately captures the duties, and skills currently being undertaken by our Senior Administrative Assistant. A copy is attached as Attachment A.

In recognition of the above, staff is recommending adding a new classification of Planner II in which the current Senior Administrative Assistant would move to. Staff is recommending that the pay classifications for the new Planner II position be placed in F39 which is a difference of approximately $4,457 annually at the top end of the pay scale as compared to the current Senior Administrative Assistant classification (approximately $2/hour).

There will be additional educational requirements such as professional planning certifications that will be required to be obtained by the employee within the first year. Additionally, staff will consider whether or not this positions should be considered to be an exempt salary position in the future after planning certifications are obtained.

The City is currently using a consulting planner until the Community Development Director can be filled. The City has advertised the position twice and had no viable candidates respond. Staff anticipates continuing to use the consulting planning firm until the Community Development Director Position is filled. Due to space constraints, staff do not anticipate advertising and filling the position until more space is available when the police department relocates to its new facility early next year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The anticipated cost changes for the proposed change including all salary and benefit costs is $5,000. These additional costs will be allocated consistent with the existing salary distribution in the City budget with approximately 90% coming from Fund 120, Development Review and the remainder from the General Fund.

1. Receive staff presentation and review Council questions with staff

2. Open Public Comment
