To: Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Donna Decker, Planning Department
Subject: Second Reading and Adoption of Reading by Title Only of Ordinance 844-2023: An Ordinance to Pre-Zone Approximately 736-Acres Reflecting the Approved General Plan Land Uses Within the Sphere of Influence Adopted by the 2030 General Plan Located In the Unincorporated Area of Butte County, Contiguous to the City Boundary Recommendation
Staff respectfully recommends the City Council:
1. Adopt Ordinance 844-2023, by reading of title only.
Summary
On February 6, 2023, the City Council passed Resolution No. 2023-R-005 amending the General Plan revising the various residential land use designations to simply “Residential ” to ensure consistency and compliance between the General Plan land uses and the zoning districts. On February 22, 2023, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered the proposed pre-zone recommending approval of Ordinance 844-2023 memorializing the General Plan land uses.
Discussion
In 2010, the City Council adopted its 2030 General Plan approving land uses in the new growth area. In order to maintain the intent of the adopted General Plan land uses, the Planning Commission supports the City Council adopt an ordinance to prezone the approximately 736-acres in the new growth area.
This area is located within the City of Gridley Sphere of Influence, outside its incorporated boundary.
LAFCo was consulted and expressed support for the city’s effort to pre-zone the new growth area.
Having the area pre-zoned will help streamline future annexation and development applications.
On March 6, 2023, the City Council introduced Ordinance 844-2023 by reading of title only. This ordinance returns to the City Council for the second reading and adoption, becoming effective 30 days thereafter, on April 20, 2023.
Environmental Review
This ordinance is not a project under Section 15062 (B)(3) in that the land uses already approved in the 2030 General Plan utilizing the 2010 EIR analyzed the land uses accordingly. The proposed pre-zone memorializes the previously adopted land uses.
Public Notice
A notice was posted at City Hall, made available at the Administration public counter, and placed on the city website for review.

City Council Agenda Item #7
Staff Report
Date: March 20, 2023
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Cliff Wagner, City Administrator
Subject: Consideration of Proposed Professional Services Agreement from Utility Financial Services (UFS) for development of an Update Electrical Services Maintenance Agreement between Gridley and Biggs
Recommendation
City staff respectfully requests Council review and approval of the Proposed Professional Services Agreement from Utility Financial Services (UFS) for development of an Update Electrical Services Maintenance Agreement between the City of Gridley and the City of Biggs.
Background
Since 1994 the City of Gridley Electric Utility has provided contracted Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services to the City of Biggs under an electrical services maintenance agreement. The current agreement is scheduled to expire September 2023.
The City of Gridley and the City of Biggs have expressed an interest in renewing the electrical services agreement with updated contract provisions that more accurately reflect and align with the results of our current comprehensive cost of services study that is currently being conducted by Utility Financial Solutions for both communities.
Discussions regarding the contract renewal process have resulted in the proposal to engage Utility Financial Solutions, as an independent 3rd party, to facilitate the renewed electrical services maintenance agreement. The costs of which would be split evenly between Gridley and Biggs. The share of cost to the City of Gridley would be $11, 685.00, which if approved would be added to the Capitol Improvement Program (CIP) in next year’s budget.
Fiscal Impact
There is no budget impact to FY 22/23 budget. The costs associated with the engagement will be reflected in the upcoming FY 23/24 CIP budget.
Compliance with City Council Strategic Plan or Budget Goals This proposal is consistent with the City Council’s strategic goals to provide or facilitate cost effective, responsive government services to the residents of Gridley.
