STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item
DATE: October 20, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Aaron Felmlee, Finance Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Finance Department Monthly Report
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Receive report as an informational item.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Transit Fare Ratio:

The City of Fortuna operates a specialized transit service in which it receives funding through the Transportation Development Act (TDA). In order to be in compliance with the TDA and continue to receive funding the City’s transit system must maintain a ratio of fare revenues to operating costs of at least 10 percent per Section 6633.5 of the TDA code.

The last three years the City has not met the 10 percent threshold with 2024’s ratio ending at only 7%. However, the compliance requirements for those years were waived under the provisions of AB-90 due to COVID. It is important for the City to continue to monitor the City’s Fare Box ratio in order to get back to the required 10% ratio. As of the end of June 2025, the fare box ratio was 11%. However, this included a bulk purchase of punch cards for over $5,000 in revenue. If we take that out the ratio would have been under 9%. Additionally, since the punch cards were purchased in FY 24-25 and will be used in FY 25-26 staff anticipate anticipates even lower revenue in FY 25-26 due to the use of the bulk punch card use. Staff are continuing to work on alternative ways to increase revenue to meet the fare box requirement without having to increase the ridership fee any further.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Audit:

The Finance Department received a letter notifying staff that the firm of Davis Farr LLP has been engaged by the Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) for fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 to audit Fortuna’s Transportation Development Act (TDA) activities. The TDA requires annual audit examinations of all entities claiming Local Transportation Funds (LTF) which the City claims annually to fund the Senior Bus program.

This is the first year HCAOG has contracted with Davis Farr. They have requested staff prepare various schedules and other reconciliations that they require as part of the audit. Additionally, staff provided documents for Davis Farr to review as part of the interim audit work. A draft audit report will be provided to the City upon the auditor’s completed review of the requested schedules, reconciliations, and other documents.

Consent Item 4d

STAFF REPORT
City Council Consent Item ______________________________________________________________________________ DATE: October 20, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize Staff to Send a Letter of Support for Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) Proposed Regional Housing Needs Allocation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Direct staff to forward City Council’s concurrence to HCAOG on the proposed draft Regional Housing Needs Allocation.

DISCUSSION:

Regional Housing Needs Determination
The State of California, since 1980, has required each town, city, and unincorporated area to plan for its share of the state’s housing need for people of all income levels. This requirement, known as the Housing Element Law (Chapter 1143, Statutes of 1980; AB 2853), includes a process called the Regional Housing Need Allocation. HCAOG is required under California Government Code Section 65584 to prepare a Regional Housing Needs Allocation Plan (RHNP) for the Humboldt County Region. Based on the adopted RHNP, each city and county must update the housing element of its general plan to demonstrate how the jurisdiction will meet the expected growth in housing need over a specified planning period. HCAOG received the Cycle 7 Regional Housing Needs Determination (RHND) from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on July 15, 2025, which is included as Attachment A. The attached RHND is the same that was reviewed by the Board at the August meeting. As indicated in the final determination from HCD, the eight (8) year projection period begins June 30, 2027 and ends July 15, 2035. The allocation is based on California Department of Finance (DOF) population and household formation rate projections/estimates, in addition to a number of household unit adjustments applied by HCD, including most notably:

1. Owner/Renter property vacancy rate adjustments

2. Overcrowding and cost burden adjustments

3. Jobs/Housing balance adjustments

4. Homelessness Adjustments

5. Demolition and state of emergency adjustments
HCD has determined that there is a need for 5,962 dwelling units for Humboldt County, including the unincorporated areas and the cities. HCD’s housing need determination for the County is as follows:

Consent Calendar Item 4i

Income Category Percent Housing Unit Need
Acutely Low 9.4% 562
Extremely Low 14.5% 866
Very Low 10.5% 627
Low 17.8% 1,064
Moderate 9.5% 565
Above Moderate 38.2% 2,278
Total 100.0% 5962
In general, what HCD and Department of Finance have determined through HCAOGs RHNA Cycle 7 RHND is that projected population growth over the 8-year period is not the region’s primary driver for housing need. The primary driver for housing need is increased housing stock in all affordability categories, in order to reduce local housing costs.

Development of Regional Housing Allocation Methodology
The state-mandated RHNA process (Government Code Sections 65580 et seq.) requires HCAOG to develop a methodology that determines how to divide the overall allocation that the region receives from HCD to local jurisdictions. City staff have been participating with the other local jurisdictions in a RHNA working group, resulting in development of an allocation based on these coordinated efforts and the factors allowed by Government Code 66584. All of the jurisdictions are in support of the allocation as presented below.

Below presents the housing allocation as supported by the local jurisdiction planning staff. The recommended allocation is based on a 50-50 jobs/population split, these are factors that are common to all jurisdictions and can be easily quantified from available data.

The City of Fortuna’s share for the 8-year period, according to the proposed allocation, is 479 units; in comparison, Fortuna’s previous share was 290 units for a five-year period. The per year average comparison is 38 units per year under the previous period, and almost 60 units per year under the new period’s proposed distribution.

Again, the allocations do not represent a specific number of housing units that must be constructed; rather, they are a projection of need, which must be accommodated in terms of land availability. The City must facilitate housing construction and remove barriers to allow the Consent Calendar Item 4i

private market to construct the needed housing units. The State’s goal is for each jurisdiction to be responsible for the housing needs of all income groups of its population, and therefore the City must plan for the construction of housing units as set forth in the RHNA, although there is no production quota.

HCAOG staff has presented the proposed methodology to the HCAOG Board in September, and will hold a public hearing to discuss public comments or recommendations received on the draft RHNA methodology on Thursday, November 20 and then consider adoption of the preferred methodology at the Thursday, December 18 Board meeting. At this time, it appears that the County and local jurisdictions who participated in the planning sessions are in agreement with the methodology, and HCAOG staff has not indicated that they have received any opposition.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends that the Council authorize staff to submit a letter of concurrence regarding the RHNA allocation based on the 50/50 jobs/housing methodology as described by HCAOG staff.

Consent Agenda vote.

Dear Brendan Byrd:

RE: Final Regional Housing Need Determination
This letter provides Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) its final Regional Housing Need Determination. Pursuant to state housing element law (Government Code section 65584, et seq.), the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is required to provide the determination of the region’s existing and projected housing need.

In assessing HCAOG’s regional housing need, HCD and HCAOG staff completed a consultation process from May 2025 through July 2025 covering the methodology, data sources, and timeline for HCD’s determination of the Regional Housing Need. To inform this process, HCD also consulted Walter Schwarm and Jim Miller of the California Department of Finance (DOF) Demographic Research Unit.

Attachment 1 displays the minimum regional housing need determination of 5,962 total units among six income categories for HCAOG to distribute among the region’s local governments. Attachment 2 explains the methodology applied pursuant to Gov. Code section 65584.01. In determining the region’s housing need, HCD considered all the information specified in state housing law (Gov.

Code section 65584.01(c)).

HCAOG is responsible for adopting a methodology for RHNA allocation and RHNA Plan for the projection period beginning June 30, 2027 and ending July 15, 2035.

Pursuant to Gov. Code section 65584(d), the methodology to prepare HCAOG’s RHNA plan must further the following objectives:
(1) Increasing the housing supply and mix of housing types, tenure, and affordability (2) Promoting infill development and socioeconomic equity, protecting environmental and agricultural resources, and encouraging efficient development patterns
(3) Promoting an improved intraregional relationship between jobs and housing (4) Balancing disproportionate household income distributions (5) Affirmatively furthering fair housing
Pursuant to Government Code section 65584.04(e), to the extent data is available, HCAOG shall consider including the factors listed in Government Code section 65584.04(e)(1-13) to develop its RHNA plan. Also, pursuant to Government Code section 65584.04(f), HCAOG must explain in writing how each of these factors was incorporated into the RHNA plan methodology and how the methodology furthers the statutory objectives described above.

Gov. Code section 65588(e)(6) specifies the RHNA projection period begins December 31 or June 30, whichever date most closely preceded the previous projection period end date. The RHNA projection period end date is set to align with the planning period end date. HCAOG’s local governments are responsible for updating their housing elements for the planning period beginning July 15, 2027 and ending July 15, 2035 to accommodate their share of new housing need for each income category. Please note, a jurisdiction authorized to permit residential development may take RHNA credit for new units approved, permitted, and/or built since the start date of the RHNA projection period (June 30, 2027).

As specified in Gov. Code section 65584.01(c), a COG may, within 30 days from the date of this letter, file an objection to HCD’s determination of the region’s existing and projected housing need.

HCD encourages all HCAOG’s local governments to consider the many affordable housing and community development resources available to local governments.

HCD’s programs can be found at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grantsfunding/nofas.shtml.

HCD commends HCAOG’s leadership in fulfilling their important role in advancing the state’s housing, transportation, and environmental goals. HCD looks forward to continued partnership with the region and in assisting in planning efforts to accommodate the region’s share of housing need.

If HCD can provide any additional assistance, or if you, or your staff, have any questions, please contact Thomas Nguyen, Senior Data Specialist, at [email protected], Taylor Price, Specialist, at [email protected], or Kevan Rolfness, Data Specialist, at [email protected].

Detailed background data for this chart is available upon request.

Explanation and Data Sources
1-4. Population, Group Quarters, Household Population, & Projected Households:

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65584.01, projections were extrapolated from Department of Finance (DOF) projections. Population reflects total persons. Group Quarter Population reflects persons in a dormitory, group home, institution, military, etc. that do not require residential housing. Household Population reflects persons requiring residential housing.

Projected Households reflect the propensity of persons, by age-groups, to form households at different rates based on Census trends.

5. Vacancy Adjustment: HCD applies a vacancy adjustment based on the County’s current vacancy percentage to promote healthy market vacancies that facilitate housing availability and resident mobility. Healthy vacancy rates are 2% owner and 6% renter for non-MPO regions (7% renter for MPO regions). Adjustment is difference between standard 2% and 6% vacancy rates and region’s current vacancy rates based on the 2019-2023 5-year American Community Survey (ACS) data. That difference is then multiplied by the number of projected households by tenure (projected households multiplied by current rates of renter and owner). For Humboldt County, the owner vacancy rate is below the healthy standard, resulting in a 0.99% adjustment. The renter vacancy rate is also below the healthy standard, resulting in a 3.55% adjustment.

6. Overcrowding Adjustment: Pursuant to Government Code 65584.01(b)(1)(C), HCD uses ACS data to consider the percentage of households that are overcrowded in the region compared to the United States national average of households that are overcrowded. In regions where the overcrowding rate is higher than the national average overcrowding rate (3.40%), HCD applies an adjustment based on the number of housing units the region would need to add to meet the national rate. The overcrowding rate for Humboldt County (4.06%) exceeded the national rate. Data is from the 2019-2023 5-year ACS.

7. Cost Burden Adjustment: Pursuant to Government Code 65584.01(b)(1)(H), HCD uses ACS data to consider the percentage of households that are cost burdened in the region compared to the United States national average of households that are cost burdened. In regions where the cost burdened rate is higher than the U.S. national average rate (31.68%), HCD applies an adjustment based on the number of housing units the region would need to add to meet the national rate. The cost burdened rate for Humboldt County (42.15%) exceeded the national rate. HCD estimates that Humboldt County would need to add 3,639 housing units to its existing 54,878 occupied units.

These additional units and corresponding reduction in cost burdened households would change the cost burdened rate for Humboldt County to

31.68%. Data is from the 2019-2023 5-year ACS.

8. Overcrowding and Cost Burden Adjustment: To minimize double counting the housing needs of households that are both overcrowded and cost burdened, HCD has implemented an additional overcrowding and cost burden adjustment. For regions with an adjustment for both overcrowding and cost burden, a downward adjustment is applied based on the number of households that are estimated to be both overcrowded and cost burdened according to an analysis of 2023 ACS Public Use Microdata Sample File data (PUMS) provided by DOF. If the DOF data for this adjustment exceeds the individual adjustments for overcrowding or cost burden, then this adjustment is limited to the lesser of the two. This overcrowding and cost burden adjustment resulted in a 349-unit reduction.

9. Replacement Adjustment: HCD applies a replacement adjustment between .1% to 5% to the total housing stock based on the current 10-year average % of demolitions in the region's local government annual reports to Department of Finance. Units lost during a state of emergency declaration are not included. For Humboldt County, the 10-year average was 0.02% so the minimum adjustment of .1% is applied to the projected occupied households.

10. Replacement Adjustment (Seasonal, Recreational, and Occasional Use Housing Units): In addition to the demolition replacement adjustment, HCD also applies a replacement adjustment to account for housing units that are not available for permanent year-round occupancy. This adjustment is calculated based on the change in the percentage of housing units that are for seasonal, recreational, and occasional use per ACS data. There are two methodologies utilized to calculate this adjustment, depending on changes in the housing stock over the period of analysis. If both the total number of seasonal, recreational, and occasional use housing units and the overall housing stock increased over the relevant 8-year period, HCD calculates the adjustment based on the proportion of newly added housing units used for seasonal, recreational, or occasional purposes during that time frame. This proportion is then applied as a percentage increase to the preliminary housing need assessment. If, however, either the total number of seasonal, recreational, and occasional use housing units or the overall housing stock decreased, HCD instead compares the change in the share of seasonal, recreational, occasional use housing units to total housing units. For Humboldt County, the percentage of seasonal, recreational, occasional use housing units decreased while total housing units increased from 2015 to 2023, therefore HCD applied the methodology based on the change in the percentage share of seasonal, recreational, occasional use units. In 2015, the seasonal, recreational, and occasional use housing units made up 6.4% of total housing units. In 2023, that share of seasonal, recreational, occasional use housing units decreased to 5.00% of total housing units. Therefore, there was no adjustment for Humboldt County for Seasonal, Recreational, and Occasional Use Housing Units. Data is 2015 and 2023 ACS 5-year estimates.

11. Jobs Housing Relationship Adjustment: HCD applies an adjustment based on the number of in-commuters to a region. The adjustment is calculated by dividing the number of in-commuters to the region by HCD's jobs/housing standard of 1.5. This adjustment does not include commuters entering from or leaving to states other than California. In Humboldt County, the number of employed residents exceeded the number of people employed in the county, resulting in no adjustment. Data is from the US Census Bureau LEHD OriginDestination Employment Statistics, 2022 and 2019-2023 5-year ACS.

12. Homelessness Adjustment: HCD applies an adjustment based on the housing needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness. An adjustment of 769 units was applied to Humboldt County using data from the Humboldt Housing & Homelessness Coalition 2024 Point-in-Time Count and DOF household formation rates.

13. State of Emergency Adjustment: HCD used data provided by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) pursuant to Government Code 65584.01(b)(1)(I) to adjust for units lost due to a declared state of emergency during the previous Planning Period (since 2019). Data is from 2025. To estimate the percentage of units lost that were originally occupied, HCD uses 2019-2023 ACS data to calculate the percentage of units in the region that are temporarily occupied by persons with a usual residence elsewhere. HCD then multiplies the occupancy rate by the units lost due to a state of emergency, resulting in a 0-unit adjustment.

14. Occupied Units: Reflects DOF's projected occupied units at the start of the projection period (June 30, 2027).

15. Preliminary Regional Housing Need Determination: Housing need calculated after applying factors described in Government Code 65584.01(b). This preliminary Regional Housing Need Determination is used to evaluate feasible balance between jobs and housing and the Replacement Adjustment (Seasonal, Recreational, and Occasional Use).

16. Feasible Jobs/Housing Balance Adjustment: According to statute, the “region’s existing and projected housing need shall reflect the achievement of a feasible balance between jobs and housing within the region using the regional employment projections in the applicable regional transportation plan” (Gov.

Code Section 65584.01(c)(1)). After applying the adjustments noted above, HCD compared the 7th cycle RHNA determination and the region’s total occupied housing units to the Caltrans employment projections for Humboldt County to determine whether a feasible balance was achieved. This analysis resulted in a jobs housing balance of .84 (1.19 housing units for every projected job). Because this is below the healthy rate of 1.5, no additional adjustment is needed. Data is from the 2019-2023 5-Year ACS.

3.1.1 Business Structure and Operation
Baldwin, Blomstrom, Wilkinson and Associates, Inc. (BBWA) is a private consulting forestry company based in Arcata, CA specializing in conservation-based forestry for the past 19 years. Our mission is to help clients implement conservation-based forestry that is economically viable, socially acceptable, and ecologically responsible. Conservationbased forestry is an approach to land management that seeks to improve ecological conditions and economic viability of forests through strategic use of adaptive management tools, including but not limited to; commercial timber harvest, restoration forestry practices, conservation easements, forest carbon offsets, grant and cost-share programs, and real property acquisition. Our clients in general have the shared goal of restoring and retaining ecological function by allowing their forests to mature and maintain higher stocking levels. We use geographic information systems, forest growth and yield models, and field- based understanding of regional forest types to help our clients evaluate and visualize their long-term plans.

BBWA is an S-Corporation located at 494 H Street in Arcata, CA, 95521. Our current staffing level is fifteen full-time employees, of which ten are Registered Professional Foresters (RPFs). We are in compliance with any and all applicable local, state, and federal licensure, certification, and accreditation requirements and standards.

Key staff has more than 120 years of forestry, fire, watershed and conservation experience, as well as a long history of working with the public agencies, Resource Conservation Districts, non-governmental organizations, tribes, and private timberland owners. BBWA is a local Humboldt County-based firm with a track record for delivering high quality work products and meeting client deadlines.

As founding members of the Forest Stewards Guild, BBWA has adopted the Guild’s professional principles, as follows:

1. The well-being of human society is dependent on responsible forest management that places the highest priority on the maintenance and enhancement of the entire forest ecosystem.

2. The natural forest provides a model for sustainable resource management; therefore, responsible forest management imitates nature's dynamic processes and minimizes impacts when harvesting trees and other products.

Registered Professional Forestry Services
City of Fortuna Request for Proposals October 2025
5 3. The forest has value in its own right, independent of human intentions and needs.

4. Human knowledge of forest ecosystems is limited. Responsible management that sustains the forest requires a humble approach and continuous learning.

5. The practice of forestry must be grounded in field observation and experience as well as in the biological sciences. This practical knowledge should be developed and shared with both traditional and non-traditional educational institutions and programs.

6. Our first duty is to forests and their future. When confronted with circumstances that threaten the integrity of the forest and conflict with the Mission and Principles of the Forest Stewards Guild, members must respond through education, advocacy, or where necessary, disassociation. Guild membership signifies a commitment to the highest forest stewardship ethic.

3.1.2 Current and Previous Business Activities
Baldwin, Blomstrom, Wilkinson and Associates was founded in 2002 as a Partnership with four partners and was incorporated in 2008 as Baldwin, Blomstrom, Wilkinson and Associates, Inc. with seven owners.

BBWA has been providing services equivalent to those set forth in this RFP for 23 years, with many employees of BBWA having practiced professional forestry and watershed restoration for much longer.

BBWA has fostered innovation by being an early adopter of tools and techniques that allow landowners to realize an economic return while improving the condition of the lands that they own. BBWA has been at the forefront of forest certification, watershed restoration, working forest conservation easements, forest carbon credit offsets, multiaged management and long rotation, selection-based silviculture. Many of these techniques have become common practice and even legally required now, but BBWA was an early adopter of these techniques and helped to shape them into what they have become today. As an example, BBWA has maintained Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification for our clients for the past 20 years and during that time we have Registered Professional Forestry Services
City of Fortuna Request for Proposals October 2025
6 implemented projects to promote acceleration of mature forest characteristics, restore oak woodlands, remove and/ or upgrade legacy roads, reduce forest fuel loading, promote reforestation following wildfire, restore instream habitat, and conduct California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)-compliant environmental analyses for these activities.

Managing forests using the innovative methods described above is inherently more complicated than business-as-usual forestry, which has required BBWA to recruit and train very high-quality staff that are mission driven. Our staff see the practice of forestry as ecosystem management and not simply fiber production. Many of our staff have advanced degrees and our retention rates are high, and all personnel are capable of and have experience in performing the Services set forth in the RFP with minimal instruction.

As a result, we have managed to retain many of our clients for well over a decade.

8 4.1.3 Additional Project Team Experience and Abilities BBWA has extensive experience providing Forest Management, permitting and technical Support Services to public and private organizations. We have extensive knowledge of and are familiar with local, state, and federal regulations, codes, standards, and best practices applicable to the provision of the Services set forth in the RFP. We regularly work long hours as necessitated by site work and possess excellent verbal and written communication skills. We regularly compile and review existing data and information for projects and clients, including reporting and planning documents already in existence.

BBWA provided professional services for the City of Fortuna from 2021 until 2025.

During this time, BBWA filed (2) CAL FIRE timber harvest exemptions on the City owned Vancil forest including a Public Agency, Public Utility Exemption and a Structure Protection Exemption. Additionally, BBWA provided hazard tree assessment for the City of Fortuna on an as needed basis.

The Project Team can perform additional surveys, inspections, data collection, data analysis, including timber cruising within the project areas in order to support the development of CAL FIRE exemptions and or a Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan (NTMP) complete with a timber inventory and cash flow estimate. In addition, we obtain appropriate permits to meet CEQA and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements, work with resource protection agencies to develop plans to protect public trust resources, develop and implement grant funded resource management projects, and work with stakeholders to resolve forest-related disputes.

BBWA and the Project Team have prepared and/or administered Forest Stewardship Plans, Non-Industrial Timber Management Plans, Notices of Timber Operations (NTO), Program Timberland Environmental Impact Reports (PTEIR), Program Timber Harvest Plans, Timber Harvest Plans, Erosion Control Plans, Emergency Notices, Exemptions, Forest Management Plans, BIA timber sales, and carbon credit offset projects along with many other projects in Northern California over the past ten years.

BBWA has developed Forest Stewardship Plans for individual landowners, Tribes and Rancherias, investment management groups and community owned forests. These Forest Stewardship Plans provided an important opportunity to review existing information, collect new information as needed and work with the client and the stakeholders to craft Registered Professional Forestry Services
City of Fortuna Request for Proposals October 2025
9 a plan that provided interpretation of information to the stakeholders and definitive guidance for the land managers. Identification of goals and objectives early in the process is essential to identify conflicts and opportunities. The Forest Stewardship Plan will provide useful information for the NTMP and will compliment that effort rather than duplicate work required for the NTMP.

BBWA has prepared and/or administered harvest on 8 NTMPs in the past 10 years. We prepare NTOs for two of these NTMPs every year so are very familiar with the processes and updates required to keep these documents within regulatory compliance. NTMPs have a lifespan of 50+ years, as such we recommend that clients tailor these permits to include maximum flexibility. Our experience is that NTMPs are very useful long-term harvest permits, but they need to be carefully crafted to complement the associated land management agreements rather than conflict with them or introduce unforeseen constraints in the future.

We have prepared and/or analyzed timber inventory reports for hundreds of properties ranging from five to 50,000 acres in size. We tailored each inventory to the particular aspects of the project, ranging from appraisals focused on commercial timber value to permanent plot inventories for forest carbon offset projects. In some cases, we installed forest inventories using our own crews or subcontractors, in others we used existing data and conducted further analyses to provide relevant information to the client.

BBWA has experience providing scientific information, cost/benefit analyses and alternate scenarios to stakeholders in order to help inform and resolve conflicting goals and objectives. However, our experience is that information alone cannot solve all conflicts- in some instances governing bodies have to craft compromise solutions that allow progress but do not eliminate dispute. Harvest of unique habitat types, use of herbicides, recreational user group access, fire management and use of harvest proceeds Registered Professional Forestry Services
City of Fortuna Request for Proposals October 2025
10 are common flashpoints for disagreement. BBWA has experience dealing with these and other issues.

BBWA’s biology staff consist of experts for all listed species and other key groups, including plants, raptors, northern spotted owl and other birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and fish. We have the appropriate skills to conduct protocollevel surveys for listed species. Our biologists and ecologists have extensive experience conducting botanical and wildlife surveys, and we conduct assessments in riparian, and other wetland habitats, as well as upland forested habitats. BBWA’s biologists have extensive experience preparing Section 404 and 401 permits and CDFW lake and streambed alteration agreements.

For archaeological resources, BBWA will include a records search at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) and conduct records searches and archival research to identify any previously documented cultural resources and cultural resources studies (such as Rohde 2014) that have previously occurred within the vicinity of the Project.

BBWA RPF’s with appropriate CAL FIRE Training will review historic maps, ethnographic literature, County supplied historical review documents and any related documents onfile with the County. The BBWA archeology team will perform the necessary survey intensity for to comply with the NTMP (14 CCR 1090) regulations, Forest Practice Rules and to the standards of the CAL FIRE state archaeologist. BBWA will also consider impacts on paleontological resources and human remains.

20 5.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE CAPABILITIES

5.1 Description of Services

5.1.1 Services Not Provided
BBWA will not be responsible for professional land surveying, legal property surveying, or other verification of Project boundaries. No out-of-scope work will be completed without prior authorization from the City.

5.1.2 Procedural Techniques to Add Value
Our procedures include regular professional interactions with the likely stakeholders for the Fortuna project, including state and federal regulatory agencies with forestry oversight, local tribes, recreational user groups, grant funders and UCCE staff, amongst others.

Our project team uses procedures that streamline data collection, communication and presentations. We have existing templates for preparation of NTMPs that are based on 2021 Forest Practice Rules and suitable for electronic submission, when available. Our GIS is completely integrated with our document preparation, forest inventory and layout tasks via field-based data collection devices with suitable software.

The BBWA team is familiar with the importance of the integration of planning efforts to improve community and ecosystem resilience to wildfire. The Fortuna project can take advantage of the CWPP and local Fire Safe Councils to maximize the integration of these existing efforts. Additionally, the BBWA team will strive to ensure that the documents prepared for the project are consistent with the City of Fortuna and work closely with City staff in all phases of the project including the cumulative impacts assessment if an NTMP is prepared.

Registered Professional Forestry Services
City of Fortuna Request for Proposals October 2025
12 The Forest Practice Rules require that a domestic water notice is published and letters are sent to all property owns within 1,000 downstream of project areas requesting information regarding domestic water sources. As an extra measure for this project, BBWA will request information from the Humboldt County Environment Health Department regarding any known on-site drinking water systems, and users of state small water systems. We will also query the state Division of Water Rights database for any known registered water systems and request information from CDFW regarding any permitted surface water diversions.

Public field trips could be led by BBWA foresters to explain the proposed forest project options and actions to the public and City staff.

BBWA can structure any forest inventories to include forest dead and live carbon pools for an accurate assessment of the forest carbon baseline condition as well as modelling the predicted project emissions and sequestration over time.

All potential permitting and funding programs that could provide resources for implementation of management plan goals will be described to the City of Fortuna that might maximize cost and time efficiency. This may include cost-share and grant programs, available exemptions and categorical exemptions for some tasks, and tiering off the available statewide Vegetation Treatment PTEIR.

We will take advantage of our knowledge and experience in working with other community forests in terms of developing mitigation measures, or performance standards for timber harvest related activities to minimize impacts to neighborhoods and recreational use. The lessons learned from other community forest planning process, plan development and residential neighborhood engagement will be valuable to the project.

5.2 Project Understanding and Quality Control
We understand the scope of services to include the following:
a.) Develop strategies for forest management of designated City-owned properties.

BBWA developed a Forest Stewardship Plan for the County of Humboldt McKay Community Forest and a Forest Framework Plan for the McKinleyville Community Services District. Our experience with these projects as well as the development of the City of Arcata Forest Management Plan and NTMP provides us with public forest background that will help to inform and understand issues that may arise in Registered Professional Forestry Services
City of Fortuna Request for Proposals October 2025
13 management of the City of Fortuna owned forest properties. Our staff are familiar with the forestland and parks managed by the City of Fortuna. b.) Participate in site tours of City-owned property that is designated at forests to be managed with authorizing agencies.

BBWA is a local firm that can participate in field tours. We have participated in similar tours that have involved technical groups, city staff, stakeholders, agencies, interested adjacent property owners, recreational user groups and media. c.) Represent the City in negotiations with authorizing agencies to achieve acceptable forest management permits.

BBWA has excellent relationships with regulatory agencies that pertain to forest management. We work well with CAL FIRE, CDFW, RWQCB, and the USFWS. BBWA has experience with assisting the City of Fortuna with forest management permits including the following CAL FIRE Exemptions: We would propose the consideration of using a Public Agency, Public Utility right of Way Exemption instead of a Less than 3 acre Conversion Exemption on as the appropriate Categorical exemption the reservoir property.
d. Handle all other customary activities and services associated with forestry management.

BBWA staff are experienced in all customary activities and services associated with forestry management. Key aspects include communication with stakeholders and agencies, environmental impact assessment, economic feasibility evaluation, solicitation of contractors, contract administration, timber marketing/procurement processes, supervision of logging operations, timber sale receipt tracking, calculating timber yield taxes, and filing notices of completion for timber operations. f.) Identification and mitigation of potentially hazardous trees BBWA foresters are experienced in identifying hazard trees and have provided this service to the City of Fortuna from 2022-2025. We have recently been involved with the post-fire recovery efforts on Santa Cruz, Monterey, Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.

Our role in that large scale FEMA, OES and CAL Recycle funded recovery effort was determining criteria for hazard tree removal, training arborists and providing field quality control/quality assurance for the project. We developed the Standard Operating Procedures for the tree removal being used on that project. BBWA has on staff several RPFs and a certified arborist familiar with hazard tree assessments.

Registered Professional Forestry Services
City of Fortuna Request for Proposals October 2025
14 g.) Presentations at public meetings may be required BBWA staff have frequently presented at public meetings. We are able to convey information and tailor our presentations for both technical and non-technical audiences.

We are comfortable presenting to elected officials, staff, and the public at large and appreciate that an open transparent process leads to overall better outcomes and long term success. We understand that the Fortuna project area is a publicly owned forest. In addition, neighborhood groups, recreational users, local tribes, the Fortuna Fire Protection District have an ongoing direct interest in management outcomes. BBWA is clear that provision of services will require active engagement with a wide variety of stakeholders with potentially conflicting goals and objectives. We see a potential to work with timberland owners including Humboldt Redwood Company to sell fee or conservation easement lands that could enable a regional pedestrian/ mountain biking trail network in and around the City.
h.) Willingness to think “outside the box” and present innovative ideas for forestry management of specific City-owned properties.

See Section 5.2.2 for “Willingness to think outside the box” innovative ideas

5.2.1 Management Strategies
Potential controversial issues regarding forest management will include decisions regarding types of silviculture, intensity of harvest, frequency of harvest, use of herbicides, harvest of mature/big trees, costs of management, protection of wildlife, activity levels near residences and slash treatment and disposal.

5.2.2 Implementation of Innovative ( o u t s i d e t h e b o x ) Management BBWA has a long history of implementing innovative forestry on the ground and is familiar with tools, techniques, literature and practices in the field of conservation-based forestry. The City of Arcata Community Forest is a model forest, recognized throughout the world as a demonstration of sustainable management of conifer forests. BBWA is a key consultant for the Usal Redwood Forest Company, a 50,000-acre community owned forest in Mendocino County. Based on our experience, BBWA hosted a Multi-Age Forestry Group tour in Humboldt County in cooperation with the Forest Stewards Guild in May 2018 that included lands managed by BBWA and a guest lecture by Pascal Berril.

BBWA is integrated into the group of foresters that practice multi-aged and conservationbased forestry and has access to this network as necessary to brainstorm and problem solve with examples from across the network of other land managers.

Registered Professional Forestry Services
City of Fortuna Request for Proposals October 2025
15 BBWA has the ability to conduct detailed growth and yield modeling using the FORSEE growth and yield modelling program, which is a CAL FIRE accepted model for NTMPs.

FORSEE can be used to compare various intensities of harvest, species compositions, harvest rates, silvicultural regimes, etc. to help the County and public understand the implications of various alternatives. FORSEE also has the option to generate graphic simulations of forest stand conditions under various scenarios so that users can visualize modeled stand conditions.

BBWA has the ability to approach the project as a long-term forest habitat restoration project and prescribe management techniques that would over time provide revenue and:
• Minimize or eliminate the need for herbicide treatments for vegetation control. • Lead to larger, more stable and vigorous trees that creates conditions for abundant understory vegetation.
• Accelerate growth rates and re-allocate basal area to large diameter classes. • Increase stand complexity with elevated large snag densities, elevated downed woody debris, and multi-layered forest canopies.

We have experience in using silvicultural techniques that minimize or eliminate the need to apply herbicide treatments in redwood forests by recruiting the structural elements commonly found in older forests. This is recognized as an important management objective in younger forest stands and also addresses issues of biological diversity and forest integrity. Forest structure refers to species composition and the physical arrangement of trees, including the sizes, ages, spatial arrangement of gaps, and the sizes, heights, spatial arrangement of trees, snags, and dead and down material.

The Project Team has experience in managing forests where aesthetics are an important aspect of management. The City of Fortuna could possibly utilize or CCC crews the CAL FIRE inmate crews to perform post-harvest slash chipping along high visibility or high use roads and trails as an extra “above and beyond” visual treatment.

In our experience, each logging operation is an opportunity to reduce invasive species, improve forest habitat diversity, and correct legacy watershed issues that may exist.

That would be our approach to setting up long-term management.

5.2.3 Subject Matter Expertise
BBWA has experienced personnel and staff to perform the requested services. BBWA Registered Professional Forestry Services

BBWA has worked with the County of Humboldt since 2020 to develop a Forest Stewardship Plan and Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan (NTMP). The Forest Stewardship Plan was completed September 13, 2022. https://humboldtgov.org/1808/McKay-Community-Forest The NTMP is in progress. It has been through First Review and Pre Harvest Inspection, however there are two outstanding issues which need to be resolved before it can be finalized.

The County needs to 1) prepare an Erosion Control Plan for the trail network with associated 1600 permits through DFW and RWQCB Waiver enrollment and 2) Engineering plans need to be developed for a bridge across Ryan Creek. We anticipate receiving these work products from the County and completing the NTMP in 2026.

Description of Services
BBWA worked with City of Fortuna staff to analyze site conditions and permit options on the 13-acre Vancil parcel to clear hazard trees around their municipal water supply and reduce forest fuels on City property adjacent to the residential neighbors. BBWA submitted a report with recommendations on November 5, 2021. The City was initially interested in developing an NTMP for the property, but BBWA concluded this would not be cost effective and ultimately recommended preparing two separate CALFIRE Exemptions (1104.1 and 1038c) to accomplish the City’s primary objectives. BBWA worked with the City to prepare a bid package for the log sale and logging contract then help select the winning bids, develop contracts, prepare CEQA permits, administer the timber sale, inspect the final work products and oversee financial aspects of the timber sale. The project was inspected and approved by CALFIRE in March 2023 as complete. BBWA continues to provide consulting services to the City of Fortuna on hazard tree inspections and grant applications. Utilizing a NCRP Technical Assistance grant, BBWA provided the City of Fortuna with an appraisal of the Crosswhite parcel adjacent to the Vancil property and worked with staff to develop grant applications for property acqusition.

Business Agenda Item 5a

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: October 6, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Aaron Felmlee, Finance Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 2025-777, Amending Chapter 2.50 of the Fortuna Municipal Code to Provide for Revised Purchasing Systems STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Consider conducting a second reading and adopt, by title only, Ordinance 2025-777, which proposes revisions to the City’s existing Purchasing System.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City’s current purchasing regulations, which were last wholistically revised in 1997, are contained in Chapter 2.50 of the Fortuna Municipal Code (FMC). Staff contracted with Clare Gibson who specializes in contract and procurement law. She has identified portions of the City’s purchasing regulation that better align with existing law as applicable to charter cities. The attached Ordinance also endeavors to more clearly delineate between the requirements for the procurement of goods and services.

The proposed ordinance, if adopted, revises the purchasing system to make the following changes:
• Procurement of Goods – Contracts for goods (supplies and equipment) are governed by Government Code section 54202. This Government Code section does not require formal bidding for procuring goods. Likewise, there is no such formal bidding requirement for goods in the City Charter. For this reason, the procurement of goods has been separated from Public Works contracts and services to no longer require formal bidding. The method of informal bidding (requesting quotes) will be more efficient for securing the lowest price for goods. The limit for informal quotes will be anything greater than $5,000. • Public Works Contracts - Public Works contracts are defined in Public Contract Code section 1101. The proposed Ordinance will align that definition with Chapter 2.50 of the FMC. Additionally, the Ordinance will index the thresholds for formal bidding, informal bidding, and negotiated public works contracts to the values used in the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act, Public Contract Code section 22000 et seq. (“CUPCCAA”). The CUPCCAA bid thresholds are updated about every five years which will allow for automatic increases to bidding thresholds without having to routinely adopt revised Ordinances. Currently, the thresholds are as shown below. o Contracts under $75,000 to be purchased by force account o Contracts between $75,000 and $220,000 to be purchased through informal bid procedure
Business Agenda Item 5a

o Contracts above $220,000 to be purchased through formal bid procedure According to information available on State Controller’s Office website, as of May 2, 2025, currently 1665 local agencies have elected to be subject to CUPCCAA, and 62% of all California cities (including some charter cities) have elected to be subject to CUPCCAA. • Professional Services and General Services – In order to align with applicable Government Code provisions, the procedures for professional services have been split into two main subsections. Subsection A addresses “architectural and engineering services” subject to Government Code section 4529.10 et seq., and subsection B addresses “all other services” for which the City has broad discretion under the terms of the Charter and pursuant to Government Code section 37103. Subsection A must always go through the RFP/RFQ process no matter what the cost per Government Code. The limits for all other Professional Services and General Services would be revised to anything under $75,000 be purchased through direct negotiation and quotes and anything over would need to be through an RFP/RFQ process.

Staff recommends that the City Council introduce and conduct a first reading on Ordinance No. 2025-777. Staff would bring the ordinance back for a second reading and adoption on October 20.

FISCAL IMPACT
Streamlining the City’s Purchasing System will result in increased efficiency in Department operations through reduced impacts on staff time to procure goods and services. Increasing the thresholds for formal bidding will also reduce costs associated with advertising costs that have to occur in a local publication.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Receive staff report and review questions with staff;

2. Open Public Comment

3. Close Public Comment

4. Motion to conduct a second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2025-777 and read by title only. Roll Call vote

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: October 20, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kaylyn Stainbrook, Parks & Recreation Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for Unmet Transit Needs
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Hold a Public Hearing for the Unmet Transit Needs in collaboration with Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) and forward Council Meeting recording link to HCAOG for Public Comment Review.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) is a Joint Powers Agency composed of the County of Humboldt and Cities of Fortuna, Arcata, Blue Lake, Eureka, Ferndale, and Rio Dell. HCAOG is responsible for allocating specific public funds for transportation improvements.

Annually, HCAOG evaluates the adequacy of local transportation by requesting local agencies conduct an Unmet Transit Needs Public Hearing. One of HCAOG’s Committees, the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC), then evaluates any public comment and input. If the SSTAC determines a finding meets specific criteria, HCAOG will allocate funding to address the unmet transit need prior to allocating funds to other local non-transit projects (ex. streets/roads projects). If it is determined that there are no unmet transit needs that meet the criteria, agencies may then expend excess funds for nontransit purposes.

Attached it HCAOG’s synopsis regarding the Unmet Transit Needs Assessment, including their complete assessment process and criteria.

City of Fortuna’s transit service, Fortuna Transit, is a curb-to-curb paratransit service, serving individuals who reside within city limits and are either 50+ years old or have a disability. Currently, Fortuna Transit provides pre-scheduled rides Monday through Friday between 8:30am – 4:00pm based on availability.

In addition to Fortuna Transit, City of Fortuna also compensates Humboldt Transit Authority’s Redwood Transit System (RTS) in order to include several Fortuna stops in their fixed routes.

Business Item 5b

Citizen Participation Process for Transit Needs Assessment Transportation Development Act
The Humboldt County Association of Governments (HCAOG) is responsible for allocating Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds within the region. The TDA provides two major sources of funding, Local Transportation Funds (LTF) derived from a ¼ cent of the general sales tax and State Transportation Assistance Funds (STAF) derived from a tax on diesel fuel. Together, these TDA funds are a revenue source for public transit in Humboldt County. The “Unmet Transit Needs” process is carried out annually to identify and evaluate the adequacy of existing public transportation services.

HCAOG is required to assess transit needs prior to allocating LTF money for non-transit purposes, while STAF is programmed to the Humboldt Transit Authority.

Each jurisdiction has its own LTF account. Eureka and Arcata use the entirety of their LTF allocation for transit purposes. The County of Humboldt, Cities of Fortuna, Rio Dell, Blue Lake, and Trinidad typically have funds remaining after paying their share for eligible transit uses. In these cases, the TDA allows LTF to be applied to local streets and roads budgets, including pedestrian and bicycle projects. In Ferndale, there are no eligible public transit services and the LTF allocation is applied to non-transit purposes.

Public Process to Make a Finding
HCAOG’s Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) leads the process.

Although only one hearing is required, public meetings are held to ensure residents in each jurisdiction are heard. The SSTAC considers all public testimony and input, determines if the suggestions meet the adopted definition of an unmet transit need and applies adopted criteria to determine if the need is “reasonable to meet”. Public comments are accepted throughout the year and close on December 31st.

The SSTAC will consider the draft Unmet Transit Needs report and forward one of the following findings to the HCAOG Board for consideration:
(a) there are no unmet transit needs; or
(b) there are no unmet transit needs which are “reasonable to meet”; or (c) there are unmet transit needs, including those that are “reasonable to meet” Potential Impacts to Local Transportation Funding
If HCAOG adopts finding (c), then the unmet transit needs shall be funded before any allocation is made for non-transit purposes (i.e. streets and roads) within the jurisdiction.

Funds for new or expanded transit services can be set-aside from sources other than TDA funds. For instance, in 2018 the HCAOG Board voted to set aside Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) funds for late-night weekday service on the Redwood Transit Service. The service was found based on ridership at that time to be an unmet transit need reasonable to meet, but could not be funded due to insufficient Local Transportation Funds available to all required entities. When COVID hit and ridership fell dramatically, these LCTOP funds were repurposed to support free fares.

Examples of Past Public Input and Findings
Typical unmet needs include Sunday service on RTS and ETS, Saturday night service on RTS, and later evening service on ETS. These services are often found “not reasonable to meet” based on projected farebox returns and very low estimated ridership that would result in a high operating subsidy.

Comments received through this annual process can provide valuable feedback to transit operators. Not all operational requests can be accommodated, but agencies make every effort to respond. In addition, public comments are beneficial as a record of community need and can help to secure competitive grant-funded opportunities such as first-last mile mobility solutions to expand access to transit.

Opportunities for Public Comment on Unmet Transit Needs • Navigate to the project page at https://www.hcaog.net/programs-projects/publictransportation or find the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MTK7BVT • At one of the advertised public meetings;
• Written comments and/or feedback gathered from staff during direct outreach; • Comment submittals by email or telephone: [email protected] or 707-444-8208.

U N M ET T R AN S I T N E ED S

D EF I N I T I ON & R E AS ON A BL E T O M EET C R I T ER I A Unmet transit needs are, at a minimum:
(1) Trips requested from residents who do not have access to public transportation, specialized transportation, or private transport services or resources for the purpose of traveling to medical care, shopping, social/recreational activities, education/training, and employment; or
(2) Proposed public transportation, specialized transportation, or private transport services identified in the following, but not limited to: a Transportation Development Plan, Regional Transportation Plan, Coordinated Public Transit–Human Services Transportation Plan. (3) Sufficient broad-based community support exists, meaning that persons who will likely use the service on a routine basis demonstrate support with at a minimum two requests for general public service and for disabled service.

Additionally, unmet transit needs do not include:
❖ Improvements funded or scheduled for implementation in the next fiscal year. ❖ Minor operational improvements or changes such as bus stops, schedules, and minor route changes. Minor operational improvements are changes to service which do not affect the operating cost of the transit service either by requiring additional staff and/or additional vehicle hours of service or miles of service. ❖ Trips for primary or secondary school transportation
❖ Sidewalk improvements or street and road needs.

Reasonable to meet criteria:
(1) To be considered “reasonable to meet”, a service must be operationally feasible and financially sustainable, as defined below:
a) The service must have adequate roadways and must be safe to operate. b) Enough money should be available from identified sources of funding to pay for the marginal operating costs of the service continuously for three years. (2) The service must be projected to meet a minimum “marginal farebox-return-ratio” of 10 percent within two years. Performance measures including estimated subsidy per passenger trip and passengers per vehicle hour of service will also be considered. For new service, ridership and farebox-return-ratio thresholds will be considered. (3) Pursuant to the requirements of TDA Statutes (Public Utilities Code Section 99401.5c, a determination of needs that are “reasonable to meet” shall not be made by comparing unmet transit needs with the need for streets and roads, for the allocation of TDA funds. (4) Once a service is determined to be "reasonable to meet" and is implemented, it can be expected that the ridership in the first 1-2 years of the new service will be less than the projected optimal ridership. Ridership should be evaluated at 6-month intervals to determine if service is meeting performance standards adopted by the transit provider, and specifically, whether the service meets a minimum 10 percent marginal fareboxreturn-ratio. If the service is being adequately promoted and fails to be within 60 percent of the identified standards after six months, 90 percent with the first year, or 100 percent within two years, the service may be cancelled and deemed "no longer reasonable to meet." An exception to this rule is when a community or group is willing to participate in sharing the ongoing cost of the new service.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: October 20, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Kaylyn Stainbrook, Parks & Recreation Director
THRU: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Park Maintenance Worker Personnel Reallocation STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the Reallocation of Three (3) Part-Time Park Maintenance Worker I Positions to One (1) Full-Time Parks Maintenance Worker II Position.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Parks Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining approximately 81 acres of property, which includes 1.4 miles of intermittent grassy medians (approximately 4.24 acres), two mature public parks with several aging buildings, several multi-use sports fields, and public restrooms.

Additionally, they are responsible for maintaining a variety of miscellaneous properties such as the Fortuna Library, River Lodge, covered bus stops throughout the city, and more.

Current Park Maintenance Staffing Allocations:
 One (1) full-time Lead Park Maintenance Worker position  One (1) full-time Park Maintenance Worker III position  Three (3) full-time Park Maintenance Worker II positions  Three (3) part-time Park Maintenance Worker I positions The full-time positions are currently filled. However, all three part-time positions are currently vacant and have proven difficult to keep filled.

The Parks & Recreation Department, with assistance from Human Resources and the Finance Department, has been recruiting for the part-time Park Maintenance Worker I positions for several months. Since January, a total of 17 interviews were conducted, eight conditional job offers have been accepted, and eight pre-employment physicals and backgrounds have been paid for (approximately $10,900 total). Many of those individuals withdrew prior to their start dates due to full-time job offers elsewhere. Only two applicants have actually completed the hiring process and attended their start date. Of the two applicants that were hired, one started in April and quickly promoted to full-time in June, due to a full-time employee resigning and accepting a full-time position in Ferndale for better wages. The other successful candidate started in mid-September and submitted a no-notice resignation in early October after only a few weeks of employment. That employee accepted a full-time custodial position with the City of Eureka.

The recruitment cycle (posting, reviewing, interviewing, coordinating physicals, onboarding, etc.) costs the City thousands of dollars in staff time and resources. The Parks and Recreation Business Item 5c

Department recognizes that the part-time Park Maintenance Worker I recruitment has been generally unsuccessful.

Additionally, one of the full-time Park Maintenance Workers went out on medical leave in early October with no estimated date of return. With the few remaining staff members staggered to cover Park Maintenance duties seven (7) days per week, combined with unsuccessful part-time recruitment, staff recommends that the allocations for three part-time Park Maintenance Workers be combined and replaced with one full-time Park Maintenance Worker II position.

Proposed Amended Park Maintenance Staffing Allocations:
 One (1) full-time Lead Park Maintenance Worker position  One (1) full-time Park Maintenance Worker III position  Four (4) full-time Park Maintenance Worker II positions FINANCIAL IMPACT:

In the fiscal year 2025-26 budget, the City included $107,038 in part-time wages and benefits related to the Park Maintenance I positions. The annual cost of one full-time Parks Maintenance II position is estimated at $90,467. This represents an overall annual savings of $16,571. Those savings will remain in the Parks Division fiscal year 2025-26 budget to cover the pre-employment costs that have already pushed the department over budget in that particular line item and potentially higher overtime costs due to having a full-time employee out on extended leave.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

1. Receive staff presentation and review Council questions with staff.

2. Open Public Comment

3. Close Public Comment

4. Motion to Approve the Reallocation of Three (3) Part-Time Park Maintenance Worker I Positions to One (1) Full-Time Parks Maintenance Worker II Position. Voice vote.

The purpose of this Public Hearing is to adopt amended fees for FY 2025-26 for the River Lodge and Monday Club.

On September 2, the City Council received a staff report and presentation regarding the River Lodge Analysis as part of the Revenue Generation Ad Hoc Committee’s efforts to generate revenue for the City. The analysis determined that River Lodge operation creates a deficit of approximately $275,000 per year – largely due to River Lodge staff wages/benefits, Park Maintenance staff wages/benefits, building repairs, and utility/insurance/general inflation. The General Fund has been used to cover the deficit since the building was constructed in 1998, meaning the General Fund (public monies) have been subsidizing the operation of a venue used for private events. On September 2, City Council directed staff to return with an enhanced investment plan for the River Lodge, including physical upgrades and marketing.

Staff have met several times since September 2 and are now proposing Fee Schedule changes, pursuing necessary enhancements, and implementing operational changes including marketing.

Proposed Fee Schedule Change Highlights (Full Fee Schedule attached with some local venue comparisons):
 Increase Rental Fees (Full Day Rates increased by average of 18%, Half Day Rates increased by average of 50%)
 Increase Standard Cleaning/Security Deposits
 Add Table/Chair Set-Up Fee
 Add Alcohol Fee
 Add Reschedule (Processing) Fee
 Add Dishware Use Fee
 Increase Audio/Visual Daily Fee
 Replace “Entire Facility” Rental with “Chinook + Steelhead + Coho” Business Item 5d

Maintenance/Amenity Enhancements:
 Exterior Staining Project – approved by Council on September 2, 2025  Upgrade Audio/Visual System – request to Council on October 20, 2025 Operational Changes Currently in Progress:
 Reduce staff involvement with preparations, coordination, and clean-up  Enforce cleaning deposit refund requirements (groups held to cleaning expectations)  Adhere to 12-hour rental or additional charges apply
 Events end no later than 11pm
 Work to increase additional events
 Consider transitioning from fixed office hours to a more event-driven staffing model  Marketing:
o Seeking quotes from marketing professionals
o Increasing social media presence
o Updating brochure
o Updating venue search websites
o Collaborating with Fortuna Chamber’s outreach
o Increasing networking
The River Lodge’s current annual deficit is approximately $275,000. With the above changes and approved Revised Fee Schedule, it is projected that River Lodge will increase its revenue by approximately $75,000 resulting in a reduced annual deficit of $200,000.

The largest percentage of operational costs is employee wages and benefits, followed by the cost of utilities, insurance, and general inflation. Staff may present additional solutions to City Council as they are identified.

Separately, an administrative oversight was discovered in the current Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Fee Schedule regarding the Monday Club. It is included in this report, as the Monday Club and River Lodge both fall under Fund 160 of the Fee Schedule. The Parks and Recreation Department’s rentals all have a “Cancellation Fee” (Cancellations processed 30 or more days prior to rental date)” of $50; however, in error, this was not changed for the Monday Club (also managed by Parks & Recreation). Staff has included this change in the attached Proposed River Lodge and Monday Club Fee Schedule.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The River Lodge’s current annual deficit is approximately $275,000. With the amended fee changes it is projected that River Lodge will increase its revenue by approximately $75,000 resulting in a reduced annual deficit of $200,000.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Receive staff presentation and review Council questions with staff; 2) Open Public Hearing
3) Close Public Hearing; and
4) Motion to adopt Resolution 2025-25; and read by title only. Roll Call Vote.

RESOLUTION 2025-25

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF FORTUNA ESTABLISHING A SCHEDULE OF FEES

AND CHARGES FOR PARKS & RECREATION AND RIVER LODGE WITHIN THE CITY OF FORTUNA FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish a policy of recovering the costs reasonably borne of providing special services of a voluntary and limited nature, such that general taxes are not diverted from general services to the public as a whole and thereby utilized to inequitably subsidize such special services; and,
WHEREAS, a schedule of fees and charges to be paid by those requesting such special services must be adopted by the City Council in order to effect this policy; and, WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to comply with both the letter and the spirit of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and limit the growth of taxes; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 66016 the specific fees to be charged for special services must be adopted by the City Council by Ordinance or Resolution, after providing notice and holding a public hearing; and,
WHEREAS, notice of public hearing has been provided by City staff per California Government Code Section 6062a, oral and written presentations made and received, and the required public hearing held; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Government Code Section 6062a a general explanation of the Schedule of Fees and Charges in Exhibit A, has been available for public review as required; and, WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on October 20, 2025, by the Fortuna City Council to present the Schedule of Fees and Charges for Parks & Recreation and River Lodge fees in Exhibit A and receive public comment.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,

1. Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 66013 and 50076, the fees adopted by this Resolution do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee or charge is imposed and are not “special taxes”; and

2. The Council hereby adopts, approves and incorporates herein the Schedule of Fees and Charges in Exhibit A, following a public hearing on the matter; and,

3. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 66017, the fees adopted by this Resolution shall be in full force and effect and shall be collected beginning on the 20th day of October 2025.

4. Any judicial action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside or annul this Resolution shall be brought within 120 days of its adoption; and

5. If any portion of this Resolution is declared invalid or unconstitutional, then it is the intention of the City Council that all other sections of this Resolution shall remain in full force and effect; and

6. The City Manager shall have the authority to adjust the aforementioned fees when special circumstances indicate that the fee charged according to this Resolution is clearly inappropriate. In addition, the City Manager shall have the authority to determine the fee amount for a City service that is not addressed in this Resolution based upon the actual cost of providing the service and / or the actual cost for the City to issue a permit.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: October 20, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Kaylyn Stainbrook, Parks and Recreation Director
THROUGH: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: River Lodge Audio/Visual Equipment
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve a Supplemental Budget Request for the purchase of River Lodge Audio/Visual (A/V) system in the amount of $78,000 and $2,400 for maintaining the equipment on a regular basis.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The River Lodge, constructed in 1998, serves as venue for weddings, conferences, trainings, memorials, and more. Over the years, user groups have utilized the audio/visual (A/V) system, which is now an expected amenity in the facility. In the last couple of years, there has been an increase in functionality issues during rentals, making the system unreliable and the venue less desirable.

In Spring of 2025, staff contacted the original installer, Techome Innovations, for guidance. The technician relayed that the current system was installed in 2017, and that the City had not scheduled quarterly maintenance since its initial installation. Therefore, the current system is so far behind in updates that system now needs many components replaced in order to function correctly.

With a much-needed update in mind, staff recommended an A/V Use Fee be added to the Fiscal Year 25-26 Fee Schedule in order to help recover some of the cost over time.

On July 23, Techome Innovations provided staff with a quote of $75,232.80 to upgrade the system.

On August 6, Staff applied for assistance from the Humboldt Lodging Alliance.

On September 2, City Council expressed desire to move forward with River Lodge operations and explore enhancements at River Lodge. Several operational changes have been made in an effort to reduce costs of the River Lodge. Staff also drafted a revised River Lodge Fee Schedule – including an increase to the previously approved A/V Use Fee.

On September 17, Staff applied for assistance from the McLean Foundation. However, the McLean Foundation was unable to contribute at that time.

Business Item 5e

On October 14, Techome Innovations submitted an updated quote of $77,762.80, as a manufacturer promotion had ended. In addition to the cost of the update, Techome Innovation would need to perform routine maintenance every quarter. Routine maintenance is projected to take approximately two-three hours of technician time at approximately $200/hour. Therefore, an additional $2,400 should be budgeted annually. If any issues should be discovered by the technician during maintenance, additional time/cost may occur.

Also on October 14, Humboldt Lodging Alliance approved the contribution of $25,000 towards the Audio/Visual upgrade.

Staff may need to return at a later date with an additional Supplemental Budget Request if it is determined that ongoing on-call technical services for all City sites are necessary.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

In total, Staff is requesting a Supplemental Budget Request of $80,400 from General Fund Contingencies for this project and regular system maintenance. In addition, staff recognizes the $25,000 contribution from HLA.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Receive staff presentation and review Council questions with staff; 2) Open Public Hearing
3) Close Public Hearing; and
4) Motion Approve a Supplemental Budget Request for $80,400 for the purchase of A/V equipment at the River Lodge and ongoing maintenance. Voice vote.
