Consent Item 4e
STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: June 16, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Aaron Felmlee, Finance Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Finance Department Monthly Report for May 2025 STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive report as an informational item.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Sales Tax Update:
Finance staff continue to closely monitor the City’s sales tax revenue streams. Sales tax revenue is the largest General Fund revenue source for the City and as such fluctuations in sales tax have the largest effect on the City’s fiscal health.
For sales tax receipts between October and December 2024 the City of Fortuna actual receipts, excluding reporting aberrations, were down 3.2% as compared to October to December 2023. For comparison the County realized a 1.3% increase and the State of California realized a 1.1% decrease. The reason the County far outpaced the City was because of one singular business in the City of Fortuna having an unsustainably high revenue quarter a year ago. This business was included in the Business and Industry category and during October through December 2024 had a more typical revenue quarter. If that business was removed all remaining businesses were close to the 1.3% increase the County realized. Additional information about how the City’s sales tax performed during the month of October to December 2024 can be found in attachment ‘B’.
New Fiscal Year:
With the close of fiscal year 2024-25 at the end of the month Finance staff are working diligently on both closing out fiscal year 2024-25 and preparing to open up next fiscal year 2025-26. The year-end process entails running numerous reports, making audit adjustment entries, reconciling accounts, and ensuring all invoices for the 2024-25 year are paid timely. The new fiscal year entails uploading the new budget, issuing open purchase orders, and updating payroll numbers to reflect the fiscal year 2025-26 rates for wages, Cal-PERS pension plans, Health, and other benefits.
Measure E Update:
The Measure E committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting is set for September 16, 2025 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 2025-26.

SALES TAX UPDATE
CITY OF FORTUNA
4Q 2024 (OCTOBER - DECEMBER)
Fortuna’s receipts from October through
December were 4.4% above the fourth
sales period in 2023. Excluding reporting
aberrations, actual sales were down 3.2%.
Deal-seeking shoppers powered
e-commerce to record highs for general
merchandise and helping to boost the
City’s allocation from the countywide use
pool. Outpacing the statewide trend that
had double-digit declines, the fuel-service
station sector reported positive gains.
Price-conscious consumers embraced
value options offered at quick service
restaurants, while casual dining venues
suffered fewer visits. Shoppers supported
local retailers during the holiday season
for improved receipts in general consumer
goods.
The building group has been hampered
by the sluggish construction market and
deferral of large projects for reduced
receipts. Scarce capital due to higher
interest rates leads to rethinking of
resource allocation and there was less
equipment investment in the business
sector.
Measure E posted a modest decline with
drops in the building and business groups,
while autos gained as residents opted to
purchase more new-used cars with the
threat of tariffs on the horizon and service
station sales improved.
Net of aberrations, taxable sales for all
of Humboldt County grew 1% over the
comparable time period; the Far North
region was down 3.7%

4Q 2024 CITY OF FORTUNA SALES TAX UPDATE
STATEWIDE RESULTS
California’s local one cent sales and
use tax receipts during the months of
October through December were 1.1%
lower than the same quarter one year ago
after adjusting for accounting anomalies.
The fourth quarter is notably the highest
sales tax generating period of the year
but exhibited diminished year-over-year
returns as consumers struggled with tariff
concerns and pulling back on discretionary
spending.
For the past eight quarters - two calendar
years - statewide results have declined;
led mostly by autos-transportation and
building-construction suppressed activity
due to the sustained high interest rate
environment. Specifically, this quarter,
as new and used car returns pulled back,
only leasing activity improved likely
representing buyers willingness to wait for
more advantageous economic conditions
before committing to long term obligations.
Furthermore, building-construction drops
spanned multiple categories including
building materials, plumbing/electrical
and contractors as property owners delay
repairs and improvements until they’re
more comfortable tapping available equity.
During this holiday shopping period, brickand-mortar general retailers slumped 2.4%, further hindered by lower gas prices. Recent
closures by merchants selling variety/
low priced items and weaker returns from
department stores were most impactful.
As consumers appeared more interested in
value/discounted items vs higher priced/
luxury goods, overall statewide receipts
revealed growth from online retailers by
way of local returns through fulfillment
centers and allocations via each county’s
use tax pool demonstrating a desire to
spend, just more through different vendors
which shifted local tax distributions.
Fuel and service stations experienced a
drop of 14% largely due to the decreased
price of global crude oil. While this dynamic
hurt the sector results, it did allow for more
disposable income to be spent in other areas
and does not appear to be changing in the
near term.
Revenue from restaurants sustained a
modest gain of 1.3%, with only a waning
from fine dining establishments – consistent
with spending trends in other sectors. As
eateries try and balance higher menu prices
and demand, a ‘return to office’ call by
businesses could inspire future increased
foot traffic for many venues in metropolitan
centers.
The fourth quarter also marks the end of the
calendar year. As expected 2024 was 1.2%
lower than 2023 with most sectors taking
a hit. Only restaurants, business-industry
and allocations via the county use tax pools
improved.
With national tariff discussions happening
at the federal level, consumers start 2025
wondering if higher priced goods and
difficult decisions are on the horizon. Also,
the Federal Reserve Board hasn’t signified
any relief by way of lower interest rates
leaving only minimal growth expectations to
come. The theme of the current economic
outlook is uncertainty.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: June 16, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Siana Emmons, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Approve the Full-time Pay Rate Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-26, Resolution 2025-19
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Full-time Pay Rate Schedule, by adopting Resolution 2025-19.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Annually, the City is required to adopt a schedule of positions and the related classifications and pay. As part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Full-Time Pay Rate Schedule adoption, several changes are being proposed and discussed below.
Building Inspector II:
On February 7, 2025, the City’s Building Inspector retired after fifteen years. On March 12, 2025, the City posted a recruitment to fill the vacant position. The recruitment yielded no qualified applicants. One of the factors contributing to the unsuccessful recruitment is that Fortuna’s salaries are not currently competitive compared with other local cities, and in some cases Fortuna’s salaries are as much as 37% to 27% lower than other local cities. In addition to non-competitive salaries, the City does not have a Building Inspector II classification, which would allow staff to move up the pay scale as skills and abilities increase. The City of Fortuna requires a qualified Building Inspector to ensure building safety, enforce building codes, maintain property values and protect public health and safety. For these reasons, staff is recommending Council approve the addition of a Building Inspector II classification to Step No. F40, to the City’s Full-time Pay Rate Schedule, which is included with this staff report as “Attachment A” to Resolution 2025-19, and as reviewed with your City Council at the June 2 Special Meeting.
Building Official:
In addition to the need for a qualified Building Inspector, Fortuna must have and retain a qualified Building Official. Fortuna’s current Building Official has been employed with the City since 2008 and is currently being paid 37% to 30% less than other local agencies. Staff is recommending a reclassification of this position from Step No. F52 to Step No. F54 . and as reviewed with your City Council at the June 2 Special Meeting.
Consent Item 4j
Senior Planner:
In response to HCD’s Letter of Inquiry the City Council authorized the allocation of a Senior Planner position to the FY 2025-26 budget. This is a new position within the City classification schedule. Staff is recommending placing the new Senior Planner position in Step No. F52 and as reviewed with your City Council at the June 2, Special Meeting. 34-Hour Work Week (effective 6-29-25):
As adopted by your City Council on May 19, 2024, and as outlined above, non-competitive salaries have impacted Fortuna’s ability to acquire and then retain qualified candidates. Lack of retention of qualified employees also impacts the City negatively in the loss of expertise, high costs of recruiting and hiring, service disruptions as well as impacting overall morale throughout the agency. To stem the flow of constant turnover in employees, as well as an effort to attract new employees, beginning the week of June 29, 2025, City departments excluding the Police Department, will transition to a 34-hour work week while being paid the same weekly wage. This means employees will work 8.5 hours Monday through Thursday and City offices will be closed on Fridays. A 34-hour work week can be a competitive advantage and attract and retain talent.
Contract Changes (effective 7-1-25):
A 3% increase effective July 1, 2025 per employee contracts for the City Manager, Finance Director, and City Clerk/HR Director. These contracts have previously come before your Council in 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impacts associated with the Full-Time Classification and Pay Rate Schedule were incorporated into the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Motion to approve the Full-time Pay Rate Schedule for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 by adopting Resolution 2025-19. Consent Agenda vote.
ATTACHMENTS:
• Resolution 2025-19, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Fortuna Adopting the Full-time Classification and Pay Rate Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025-26 o Attachment “A” FY 2025-26 Full-Time Pay Rate Schedule RESOLUTION 2025-19

WHEREAS this Pay Rate Schedule will be effective July 1, 2025 and WHEREAS, this Resolution shall supersede all previous Full-Time Classification and Pay Rate Schedules.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fortuna that all appointed officers and employees shall be compensated as shown in “Attachment A” of this Resolution.

2. The employee must provide written proof of other coverage.
3. All local, federal and state laws must be observed, as well as conditions of any contract into which the City has entered, or will enter; particularly the Section 125 plan the City has in place.

In order to exercise this option, an employee must provide evidence of other insurance coverage provided by a member of his/her immediate family.

SDI benefit as determined by the State will be applied first. Long Term Disability benefits, if applicable, will be applied second. Accrued sick leave, vacation, and approved personal leave will then be applied in a proportionate amount which, when added to SDI, will provide compensation equal to the employee’s regular wage or wage. Under no circumstances will an employee be permitted to aggregate SDI, or other benefits in an amount exceeding the employee’s regular wage or wage.
SECTION 5. HOLIDAY BENEFITS AND PAID LEAVES
Vacation
The vacation schedule for unrepresented non-safety employees shall be as follows:

The City will provide each employee on a bi-weekly basis a record of accrued vacation and sick leave, which the employee has earned. Vacation may be accumulated up the amount shown in the chart above. Once an employee has reached the maximum accumulation limit for vacation leave, the employee will cease accruing additional vacation benefits until the employee has used a portion of his or her accrued vacation and reduces his or her balance below the maximum accumulation limit.

SECTION 8. ADMINISTRATIVE TIME/MANAGEMENT LEAVE
Unrepresented employees are entitled to Administrative Leave to be accrued on July 1st of each year. New employees hired throughout the year will receive pro-rated Administrative Leave.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: June 16, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve the Request for Solid Waste Collection Franchise Rate Adjustment STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the council approve the solid waste rate adjustment requested by Recology, Inc. to reflect the weighted average increase of 4.8% for the coming fiscal year.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Fortuna entered into a franchise agreement with Eel River Disposal in 1998 for solid waste and recycling and collection. The franchise agreement was transferred to Recology, Inc. in 2017. The term of the franchise agreement currently ends in 2025.
In accordance with Sections 2.03.06, and 2.03.07 of the franchise agreement, rates may be adjusted annually based Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the rates effective on July 1 of the following year. A copy of those sections are shown in Table 1, below. The consumer price index is based on the All Urban Consumers, West-C index determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (CPI Index) and the month identified for annual comparison is March.
The CPI Index increase between March 2024 and March 2025 was 1.8%. Recology submitted a rate adjustment request to the City reflecting a weighted average increase of 4.8% to their solid waste collection and disposal rates in accordance with the provisions of the Franchise agreement.
A copy of the calculation is attached to this staff report. The net increase to solid waste collection rates is more than the CPI, as garbage disposal costs will increase in the next fiscal year due to inflation and additional regulatory requirements while recycle processing costs are rising amid decreasing CRV materials in the recycling stream and relatively flat commodity values.
The proposed rates shown with the current rates are presented on page 7 of the Recology Adjustment request. The cost of the 32-gallon can with the proposed rates in Fortuna is still lower than all of the other communities in the Eel River Valley.
Consent Item 4m
Table 1. Sections 2.03.06 and 2.03.07 of the Franchise Agreement between the City of Fortuna and Recology, Inc.
City staff has reviewed the requested increase for accuracy and has determined that the request meets the provisions of the Franchise Agreement for this type of adjustment.
Under the provision of paragraph 2.03.07, the City Manager has the authority to approve CPI increases of less then or equal to 3%. However, the City Council must approve any annual CPI adjustment greater then 3%. Therefore, this item is presented to the Council for approval.
Consent Item 4m
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Approve the solid waste rate adjustment requested by Recology, Inc. to reflect the weighted average increase of 4.8%. Consent Agenda vote.

City Council Consent Item
DATE: June 16, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Mat Nyberg, Deputy City Engineer
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Award Phase 1 of the Carson Woods Road Waterline Upgrade Project (CIP# 9124) to Mercer-Fraser Company and establish a maximum contract amount of $100,000 and contribute $40,000 to the County of Humboldt for paving Cason Woods Rd
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to award Phase 1 of the Carson Woods Road Waterline Upgrade Project (CIP# 9124) to Mercer-Fraser Company and establish a maximum contract amount of $100,000 and contribute $40,000 to the County of Humboldt for paving Cason Woods Rd.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The residents on Carson Woods Road receive water service from the City of Fortuna. All of the residences north of Sunny Heights drive receive water delivery through a 1¼” pipe, which is severely undersized for the normal residential demand and precludes fire water service. For comparison, city standards require each single-family residences to be serviced by a 1” line and fire hydrants to be serviced by a 6” line. This project will bring the water line up to city standards and provide fire hydrants along the length of the project area.
Construction of the project began in 2024 and was being performed by the City of Fortuna water crew when unexpected staffing levels prevented completion. City staff installed approximately 1200’ of 8” C900 water main beginning at the south end of the project and worked north toward the bridge. Corporation stop valves and saddles were placed on the water main at each service lateral during construction, but the service laterals were not installed. Two fire hydrants were installed. The portion of the roadway that was damaged from trenching for the water main was patched with cold-mix asphalt.
Mercer-Fraser Company will complete the installation of approximately 485’ of 8” C900 water main, one fire hydrant, connection of 14 service laterals and activation of approximately 1650’ of water main.
A bid alternate was included in the contract for rehabilitation of approximately 8,000 square feet of pavement. Since the project area is in Humboldt County jurisdiction, this portion of the project will be completed by the County of Humboldt in early August. The City of Fortuna will contribute $40,000 to the County of Humboldt in lieu of repaving the trench work for this project.

SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Award a Supplementary Budget Request for the 2024 Stormdrain Lining Project
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to award a Supplemental Budget Request for the 2024 Stormdrain Lining Project for $14,190 and establish a maximum contract amount of $189,190.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In October of 2024, Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract with Miksis Services for $158,170 not to exceed $175,000 for a storm drain lining project described below. • 112-feet of 36-inch culvert crossing 3rd Street near the Auction Yard • 230-feet of 18-inch culvert located along Rohnerville Road fronting the new Police Facility • 42-feet of 18-inch culvert crossing Elizabeth Barcus Way Miksis Services completed these repairs on June 2-4 of this year without incident or need to utilize any of the $16,830 contingency awarded for this project. On May 29th, 2025, Staff responded to concerns from residents at 1659 Meadowlark about a recurring sink hole in their front yard. Staff observed a depressed area adjacent to the driveway and found that a four-foot probe was easily plunged at various locations in the vicinity of a buried stormdrain that traverses the property. Staff utilized video equipment to inspect the culvert and found significant deficiencies. The 123-footlong culvert is a combination of concrete pipe and single wall HDPE plastic. Staff determined from the video that the concrete portion of the culvert, which is in five-foot sections that are grouted together, has many sections where the grout has failed and the sections have separated.
Further, staff observed several locations where the single wall plastic portion has been torn or punctured causing trench saturation potentially resulting in a bank failure along Jameson Creek.
See images below:

Consent Item 4o
Since the storm drain traverses the front and back yard of the residence before ascending roughly 20-feet to Jameson Creek, Staff agreed that lining the pipe would be less costly and disruptive than to dig up and replace it. With that, on June 2, 2025, Staff reached out to Miksis for an estimate for this repair while they were currently mobilized. Miksis provided a quote for $31,020 for the additional work which equates to $252/ft. compared to $319/ft in the currently contracted work which is a discount of $8200. However, with a contingency of $16,830, the budgeted funds fell $14,190 short. Staff reached back out to Miksis expressing the need to take the request to Council and to provide a new quote to come back at a later date. The new quote was for $37,000, which is an additional $6000 due to remobilization, travel and per diems. Further, Miksis stated that they would not be able to make it back until next year due to other scheduled work. Taking into account the discount per linear foot plus the savings on remobilization being $14,200 not to mention the potential lawsuit for damages by the landowner, staff approached the City Manager with a request to proceed with the work. Since the ask is roughly equal to the realized savings and the fact that doing the work resolved a liability, Staff was allowed to authorize the work which was completed on June 4th.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The chart below demonstrates the amount budgeted in FY 2024-25 for the project, the original contract amount, contingency, and the resulting SBR amount of $14,190.
FY 24/25 Budgeted Contract Contingency Supplementary
Budget Request
$175,000 $158,190 $16,830 $14,190
The Council included $200,000 from Measure E in the FY 2025-26 budget for Storm Drain repair projects. Staff is proposing to utilize $14,190 from FY 2025-26 budget to cover the cost of the emergency repair. Between both FY 2024-25 and 25-26 no additional funds are being requested.
The SBR is to allocate funds to the FY 2024-25 budget and staff will subsequently reduce FY 2025-26 budget by the same amount.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Shari Meads, Community Development Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approve a Response to HCD Letter of Inquiry and Allocate a Senior Planner Position and Supplemental Budget Request to the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a response to HCD letter of inquiry and allocate a Senior Planner position and supplemental budget request to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26 budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Like all other California jurisdictions, the City of Fortuna must prepare and implement a Housing Element, which includes policies and programs to address existing and future housing needs for all income levels, including various household types and special needs populations. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) must certify a jurisdiction’s housing element to avoid significant penalties. Fortuna’s HCD-certified Housing Element includes numerous goals, policies, and programs that commit the City to specific actions and achieve certain milestones by specified timelines.
While the City has made progress in implementing the Housing Element, it is still delinquent on many measures, some of which date back over 10 years (see Attachment 1). If a City is found to be noncompliant, various consequences may apply.
First, noncompliance results in ineligibility or delay in receiving state funds that require a compliant housing element as a prerequisite, including, but not limited to, the following:
• Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program
• Local Housing Trust Fund Program
• Infill Infrastructure Grant Program
• SB 1 Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grants
• Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program Second, jurisdictions that do not meet their housing element requirements may face financial and legal consequences. HCD might notify the California Office of the Attorney General, which could file a lawsuit for violations of State Housing Element Law. For instance, Government Code section Consent Item 4p
65585, subdivision (l)(1), sets a minimum fine of $10,000 per month, up to $100,000 per month.
Additionally, state law allows for extra court-imposed penalties for ongoing noncompliance, potentially multiplying those penalties by a factor of six. Other possible consequences may include the loss of local land use authority to a court-appointed agent.
The City of Fortuna has already been sued for Housing Element non-compliance, settling for approximately $52,500 in 2018.
In addition, under the Housing Accountability Act (Gov. Code, § 65589.5, subd. (d)), jurisdictions without a substantially compliant housing element cannot rely on inconsistency with zoning and general plan standards as a basis for denial of a housing project for very low-, low-, or moderateincome households (also known as the “Builder’s Remedy”).
HCD sent a Letter of Inquiry to the City Manager on May 23, 2025, inquiring about the status of five Housing Element Programs (Attachment 2). The City has not intentionally been remiss in Housing Element implementation; it has been due to limited staffing. The Community Development Department is consistently busy with land use entitlements, building plan review, and other significant long-range planning projects, and currently, only the Director can work on these tasks.
As discussed in the City’s response to the HCD Letter of Inquiry (Attachment 3), Council is requested to allocate a Senior Planner position to ensure the City can continue providing essential current planning services such as processing applications for all discretionary land use entitlements, administering, interpreting, and enforcing land use, zoning, and site development standards, reviewing residential and commercial building permits, conducting annual reporting for the State Department of Finance and Housing and Community Development Department, administering the City’s OpenGov online permitting software system, and providing customer service at the public counter. This will allow the Director to focus on necessary long-range planning activities, including Housing Element implementation, Housing Element updates, Regional Climate Action Plan adoption and implementation, Local Hazard Mitigation adoption and implementation, which includes a required Safety Element update, comprehensive General Plan updates, Zoning Code updates, and more.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
For FY 2025-26, General Fund reserves of $110,000 will be required to fund the Senior Planner position. As part of the FY 2026-27 budget process, staff anticipate incorporating the position cost into the budget without utilizing reserves, most likely with the reduction of projects currently being funded by Measure E, such as storm drain repairs and street maintenance projects.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve a Response to HCD Letter of Inquiry and Allocate a Senior Planner Position and Supplemental Budget Request to the FY 2025-26 Budget. Consent agenda vote.

City of Fortuna Housing Element Programs and Statuses as of 6.9.2025 Program Objective and Timeframe Current Status
H 1. Housing Rehabilitation
Attempt to obtain state and federal assistance to expand the Housing Rehabilitation Program to upgrade those units needing rehabilitat‐ion consistent with state and federal guidelines. The purpose of the program would be to provide low interest loans to low and moderate income families to make necessary repairs.
Objective: As funding is available, assist five
lower income households over the 2014–2019 planning
period.
Time Frame: Apply to HCD for CDBG and HOME funds
through the state’s annual funding cycle as Notices of
Funding Availability are released.
Incomplete and ongoing need.
H 2 HOME Financed First Time Homebuyer Program
Work with developers to provide single family starter homes for young families by assisting with public improvements for those projects financed by the Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME).
Objective: Assist five households during the 2014–2019
planning period.
Time Frame: Develop a program and identify an agency
to partner with by December 2018, ongoing through
2019, as funding is available.
Incomplete and ongoing need.
H 3 Promote Fair Housing Opportunities
The City will refer interested persons to the State Fair Employment and Housing Commission. The City will act as an independent third party to discrimination complaints and shall maintain a file for the purpose of recording information about any alleged violations of state or federal fair housing requirements. The City will support housing equal opportunity programs by having the Planning Division distribute information about fair housing rights and procedures for filing fair housing complaints to City government offices, public libraries, and post offices. The Planning Division shall also maintain the information at all City government office locations.
Objective: Continue to promote fair housing.
Time Frame: Mail and post information annually every
January.
Incomplete and annual requirement.
H 4 CDBG Housing Revolving Loan Fund
The City r‐eceived CDBG grants in 1988, 1989, and 1992 to create and carry out a housing rehabilitation program for low and moderate income residents. The Fortuna Redevelopment Agency is responsible for implementing the program. The funds from the grant were used to make loans to qualified property owners. The loan repayments have be‐en placed in a revolving fund. The moneys in the revolving loan fund are being used to make loans to rehabilitate dwellings of low and moderate income residents.
Objective: Increase and improve the supply of low and
moderate income housing by rehabilitating five units per year.
Time Frame: Ongoing through 2019
The program stopped when the Fortuna Redevelopment Agency was dissolved. It can be restarted but would require considerable staff time to run and oversee.
H 5. Density Bonus Program
State law requires that the City allow more dwellings to be built than the existing development standards allow if a developer agrees to make a certain number of dwellings available to the target income group. This provision in state law is commonly referred to as a density bonus provision. The City should actively encourage developers to utilize the density bonus provision and develop affordable housing by providing
information about the program at the counter, on
Objective: Update the Zoning Code to ensure
compliance with state law and provide affordable
housing through use of the density bonus provision.
Time Frame: Update the Zoning Code by December
2018; ongoing as projects are processed through the
Community Development Department.
Incomplete and annual compliance review. Currently, the City utilizes the State Density Bonus law
H 6. Preserve Assisted Units
State law requires jurisdictions to prov‐ide a program in their housing elements to preserve publicly assisted affordable housing projects at risk of converting to market rate housing. To ensure that assisted affordable housing remains affordable, the City will monitor the status of all affordable housing projects and, as their funding sources near expiration, will work with owners and other agencies to consider options to preserve such units. The City will also provide technical support to property owners and tenants regarding proper procedures relating to noticing and options for preservation.
Objective: Preserve assisted affordable housing
projects.
Time Frame: Ongoing, as projects approach expiration
We have an annual MOU with the county to monitor the existing deedrestricted affordable housing. No new deed-restricted affordable housing has been added since then; however, the Humboldt Senior Resource Center project, which is in the approval process, will add 66 new units, which will need monitoring.
H 7 Improvement Standards
Because the Cityʹs Improvement Standards and Specifications are a critical component of subdivision design, it is imperative that they reflect realistic standards that protect public health and safety, while at the same time not impose unnecessary, excessive
development costs. The City shall review and update the Improvement Standards and Specifications to ensure that balanced improvements are required of new developments.
Objective: Evaluate the Cityʹs Improvement Standards
and Specifications and revise as necessary.
Time Frame: Annually review standards and revise
within six to eight months, if necessary
An updated draft of the Improvement Standards was created, but the project appears to have stalled.
H 8. Annual Review of the Housing Element
The City must prepare an annual progress report on the status and progress in implementing its Housing Element. The annual progress report must be presented to the Planning Commission or City Council and is then submitted to HCD and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.
Objective: Review the Housing Element on an annual
basis to determine the effectiveness of the programs in achieving the City’s housing goals and objectives.
Time Frame: Annually, starting April 2018
Compliant
H 9. Residential Multifamily Development Review Process Currently, the City requires a conditional use permit for multifamily developments with 5 or more units. To ensure that the conditional use permit process does not impact the timing, cost, or supply of multifamily development, the City shall replace the conditional use permit requirement for multifamily development in multifamily zones with a site plan review process. This process will continue to review elements such as aesthetics, traffic, parking, noise and visual impacts. The site plan review process will incorporate objective standards to promote greater certainty and streamlining in the approval process for multifamily development.
Objective: Replace the conditional use permit process
with a site plan review.
Time Frame: End of 2018
Possibly complete. On 12/4/23, the City adopted Ordiance 2023-764 amending chapters 17.03, 17.06, and 17.08 of the Fortuna Municipal Code to multifamily by right in most zoning districts subject to Objective Standards compliance.
H 10. Maintain an Inventory of Affordable Housing Sites and Ensure Site Feasibility The City will aid developers looking to develop affordable housing by continuing to maintain an inventory of available sites within the City and by identifying potential sites that are prime for affordable housing development. The City will continue to allow lot consolidation as a ministerial process, and when financially feasible, the City will waive any fees for consolidating small parcels. The City will also provide information and technical assistance on federal and state funding sources or referrals to appropriate agencies. ‐ ‐
To comply with new housing laws, the City will rezone sites 6 and 12 to allow residential use by right. This by rig‐ ht (without discretionary review) requirement is only for housing developments in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower income households.
Objective: Encourage the development of housing for all segments of the community, specifically lower income

Fortuna, CA 95540
RE: City of Fortuna 6th Cycle Housing Element Programs – Letter of Inquiry Dear Amy Nilsen:
The purpose of this letter is to inquire about the status of the City of Fortuna’s (City) 6th Cycle Housing Element Program implementation pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (j). The California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD) sent the City a letter on September 16, 2019, finding the City’s housing element in substantial compliance with State Housing Element Law.1 This was based on, among other reasons, the City’s responsibility to complete Programs according to timeline commitments. As the commitment date has passed for the programs listed below, HCD requests that the City provide an update on the status and timeline of implementation for the following:
• Program H-10 (Maintain an Inventory of Affordable Housing Sites and Ensure Site Feasibility) was due by August 19, 2022. The program commits to amend the zoning code to allow residential use without discretionary action on identified reuse sites for housing developments in which at least 20 percent of the units are affordable to lower-income households. The City should confirm whether the Program has been completed and provide the accompanying documentation (e.g., ordinances, resolutions, zoning codes, etc.) or provide a timeline for Program completion. • Program H-12 (Transitional and Supportive Housing) was due by August 19, 2020.
The Program commits to amending the zoning code to allow for transitional and supportive housing types in compliance with state law (Government Code Section 65583(c)(3)). The Annual Progress Report (APR) from 2024 states that this amendment is planned for 2025. The City should confirm whether the Program has been completed and provide the accompanying documentation (e.g., ordinances, resolutions, zoning codes, etc.) or provide a timeline for Program completion.

2 Gov. Code, §§ 65585, subds. (j), (l)(1), (i); 65589.5, subd. (d)(5). • Program H-15 (Housing for Extremely Low-Income (ELI) Households) was due by August 19, 2020. The program commits to amending the zoning code to allow for Single-Room Occupancy Units (SRO) in selected zones. While the City provided Ordinance No. 2024-772 to demonstrate completion of the program, the Ordinance does not provide adequate documentation demonstrating the establishment of zoning for SROs. The City should provide additional documentation to demonstrate completion of this program or provide a timeline for completion. • Program H-18 (Reasonable Accommodation) was due by August 19, 2020. The program includes a commitment to update the definition of family to “one or more persons living together in a dwelling unit” to remove constraints on housing for persons with disabilities. The City should confirm whether the Program has been completed and provide the accompanying documentation (e.g., ordinances, resolutions, zoning codes, etc.) or provide a timeline for Program completion. • Program H-19 (Provide Assistance for Persons with Developmental Disabilities) was due by August 19, 2020. The APR from 2024 states that the City plans to contact Redwood Coast Regional Center to determine a plan for informing families about housing and services available for persons with developmental disabilities. However, it is not clear when this program will be completed. The City should confirm whether the Program has been completed and provide the accompanying documentation (e.g., ordinances, resolutions, zoning codes, etc.) or provide a timeline for Program completion.
Consequences of Failure to Implement Programs
Government Code section 65585, subdivision (i), grants HCD authority to review any action or failure to act by a local government that it determines is inconsistent with an adopted housing element or State Housing Element Law. This includes failure to implement program actions included in the housing element. Failure to implement actions in Programs H-10, H-12, H-15, H-18, and H-19 by the commitment timeline means the City’s housing element will no longer substantially comply with State Housing Element Law, and HCD may revoke its finding of substantial compliance.
Various consequences may apply if the City does not have a housing element in compliance with State Housing Element Law, including ineligibility or delay in receiving certain state funds, referral to the California Office of the Attorney General, courtimposed financial penalties, the loss of local land use authority to a court-appointed agent, and the application of the “builder’s remedy.” 2 Amy Nilsen, City Manager
3 Gov. Code, § 65585.
Conclusion
Housing elements are essential to developing a blueprint for growth and are a vital tool to address California’s prolonged housing crisis. Accordingly, state law has established clear disincentives for local jurisdictions that fail to comply with State Housing Element Law. To ensure the City continues to meet the 6th cycle update requirements for a substantially compliant housing element, the City must submit any adopted ordinances, resolutions, or documentation that demonstrates that housing element program commits have been met.3
HCD will consider any written response before taking further action authorized by Government Code section 65585, subdivision (i), including issuance of a Corrective Action Letter and removal of HCD’s finding of housing element compliance.
Please provide a written response to this inquiry by June 23, 2025. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the content of this letter, please contact Clare Blackwell of our staff at [email protected].

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: June 16, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Aaron Felmlee, Finance Director
THRU: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt the City of Fortuna’s Annual Operating Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26, Resolution 2025-18
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
1. Conduct a Public Hearing to consider the FY 2025-26 Annual Operating Budget.
2. Adopt the City of Fortuna’s Annual Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26 by adopting Resolution 2025-18.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff is pleased to present a balanced budget for FY 2025-26. Staff prepared the budget with the intent of providing the maximum amount of services to the community while still presenting a balanced budget. Staff prepared the budget primarily focusing on the following principles:
• Current services will be preserved at existing levels to the highest degree possible. • The budget will comply with State Constitution, City Charter and Municipal Code provisions.
• Working Capital balances will be examined to ensure balances are healthy enough to protect the City from any future uncertainties.
• Staff will strive to balance recurring expenditures with recurring revenues. • Department budgets will be developed to reflect the best estimates possible for the true cost of operations.
The City Council held (2) two public special budget workshops on the proposed fiscal year 2025- 26 Operating Budget. The first workshop was held on May 1 where staff presented the Proposed Budget and reviewed General Fund revenues and expenditures in depth with the City Council. The second workshop, held on May 5, focused on answering outstanding questions from the first workshop as well as reviewing in depth the City’s enterprise funds. An enterprise fund is a selfsupporting governmental fund that sells goods and services to the public for a fee. Monies generated from these funds cannot be used for General Fund purposes. These funds rely more heavily on service charges and less on tax and license revenue resulting in less volatility than the General Fund. The City’s enterprise funds consist of the Water Fund, Wastewater Fund, and Transit Fund.
In summary, the General Fund has an operating surplus of $679 and one-time expenses of $381,400 being paid for from reserves that have been built up with surplus funds over the previous Business Item 5a
few years. Revenues in the General Fund and Measure E Fund are heavily dependent on sales tax, making up approximately $4 million or 50% of revenue in those funds. Sales tax revenue is monitored quarterly by staff through a consultant, HdL, due to this heavy reliance. HdL is provided not only the City’s sales tax data but also County and Statewide data. This is helpful because it can point to wider trends in the economy in both the local area (County) and Statewide. For instance in 4Q 2024 the City of Fortuna had a decrease of 3.2% in quarter over quarter sales tax receipts however, the County was up 1.3% and the State was down 1.1%.
Additional information on the Cities fiscal year 2025-26 budget can be found in the attached budget document.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS:
1. Receive staff presentation and review Council questions with staff
2. Open the public hearing.
3. Motion to close the public hearing.
4. Motion to adopt Resolution 2025-18; read by title only. Roll call vote.

This measure is a transactions and sales tax measure at a rate of three-quarter percent per dollar. Measure E was set to terminate on March 31, 2025 from the passage of Measure E. However, on November 3, 2020 the voters of the City approved Measure G. Measure G extended Measure E 8 additional years. Measure E is now set to terminate on March 31st, 2033. In the interest of transparency and accountability for expenditure of funds derived from this local sales tax a new fund (101) was set up. This allows the citizens and the City to see the benefit Measure E is adding to the community.

The River Lodge Conference Center was built in 1998 in response to a need for a regional facility that could be used for conferences, seminars, community activities, weddings and other events. The facility is located next to several hotels and restaurants that benefit from these events, which result in increased sales taxes and transient occupancy taxes for the City of Fortuna.
The Monday Club was built circa 1930 by a local women's group called "The Monday Club". It was later purchased by the Fortuna Concert Series which donated it to the City in 1999. The facility is used by the Fortuna Concert Series and other small groups for events, meetings, and gatherings.
● Manage the daily and ongoing operations of the River Lodge and Monday Club, including promotion and advertising, event coordination and maintenance and upkeep of the facilities and equipment ● Liaison with the Fortuna Chamber of Commerce and Tourism & Marketing Committee to promote events that will involve the use of River Lodge, promote tourism, and benefit the community

Debt administration centralizes the City of Fortuna’s long term debt obligations to allow for sound financial management and transparency in monitoring and reporting City debt that is used to fund large projects. Debt financing is used when paying for projects, maintenance or upgrades related to City services that cannot be financed by current revenues or would be impractical to do so. Debt service payments are budgeted and expected to be covered by current revenues each fiscal year.
Revenue Bonds can be used to finance capital projects where there is a pledge to pay the debt from a stream of revenue accruing to the City. This form of debt is used to finance facilities and improvements from lease or enterprise fund activities which generate ongoing revenues from services provided to the community.
Assessment District Bonds can be used to finance infrastructure for a limited area of the City. This particular type of debt (special assessments or special taxes) are levied against the property owners in a defined district who directly benefit from the infrastructure improvement. The City of Fortuna has used this type of debt to finance infrastructure for specific services approved by the property owners within the assessment districts.
Capital leasing can be used to acquire tangible assets where there is a pledge to pay the debt from current annual receipts and where the acquired assets can be placed under a lien until the debt obligation is paid off. The City of Fortuna has used capital leasing to acquire equipment that is necessary for efficient operations of City Business.
Debt financing not only provides cash for City projects, but spreads the cost of a project over time thereby sharing the cost burden for the project with both current and future taxpayers who will benefit from the project. Financing through debt is most appropriate for long-term investments, and allows the City to maintain its assets while building for the future. Many factors influence the cost of financing, such as the amount of current outstanding debt, the opportunity cost of borrowing and the cost of credit in the financial market. The following describes the different types of financing the City utilizes:
