WHEREAS, Section 42649.8 of the Public Resources Code defines a rural county as a county that has a total population of less than 70,000 persons; and
WHEREAS, there are 19 counties in California with populations of less than 70,000 persons, which collectively represent only 2.0% of the statewide waste stream; and, WHEREAS, organic waste generators within rural jurisdictions that meet the definition of "Rural Jurisdiction" in Section 42649.8 of the Public Resources Code that are exempted pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 18984.12 are not required to comply with the organic waste collection requirements specified in Article 3; and,

CITY OF LOYALTON

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING OF: February15, 2022
Subject:

From: Kathy LeBlanc, City Clerk
Gary Price, Contract Planner
Recommended Action: Authorize Price Consulting Services to prepare and file 2021 Annual Housing Element Progress Report.

BACKGROUND:

California Government Code Section 65400 ("Section 65400") requires cities and counties to submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) to the State by April 1 of each year. The Code requires the City Council to conduct public review of the report, consider public comments, and approve the report prior to submittal. APRs must be submitted to two State agencies: The Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The APRs describe each jurisdiction's progress in implementing the housing elements of their General Plans. Not only are the annual reports required to be submitted by the State, submitting an annual report allows the City to qualify for various State grants.

It does not appear that the City has ever prepared or filed any previous Housing Element Annual Progress Reports with HCD. Program 1-3.2 of the adopted 2021-24 Housing Element indicates that the City, starting April 1, 2021, will complete a comprehensive update of the annual reports from 2016 through 2020 and develop an annual process to make sure the annual reports are annually and timely completed to comply with State Housing Law.

AB 72, effective 2017, grants HCD authority to review any action, or failure to act, by a local government that HCD determines is inconsistent with an adopted housing element or Housing Element Law. More recently, HCD has been more aggressive with local agencies in enforcing housing law, so the City may want to prepare and file these reports. However, it is recognized that the City has very limited resources to conduct this work. There is no identified funding source to pay for this work except for the General Fund.

The following are options for the City Council to consider:

1. Prepare all reports as referenced in Housing Element Program 1-3.2 of the Housing 1 Element. I would be happy to produce these reports, but it will take about 8 hours of work plus staff time to complete ($1,200).

Prepare the 2021 Annual Report. I could produce this with staff assistance, but it would take about 5 hours or work for about $700.

Don't prepare any reports.

Estimated costs assume City building permit information on previous years is available and limited follow up to HCD requirements will be required once the reports are filed. Additional costs could be incurred if HCD requires additional information beyond filing the reports.

More information regarding the annual reports can be found on the following link:

Subject: Nomination for Richard Meder Award
I nominate Conner Heywood, 2020 Loyalton High School graduate.

Conner started decorating the Loyalton Elementary School multi-purpose room with lights for the Christmas program many years ago. Each year he would add more lights and then he started putting the lights to music at his parents' home in Sierra Brooks for the community to enjoy. Then he did the same to his paternal grandparents' house next door and extended it to the neighborhood a few years.

When COVID hit and the Christmas tree lighting was cancelled, Conner parked a fire truck up town and decorated it in lights. We had a Christmas truck!
He and Jake Marsh planned the first annual Christmas Light parade, urging locals to participate ar it was great fun. The second annual Christmas Light parade by Conner and Jake was held this past Christmas and was another wonderful success.

Conner is known for his computer skills and has helped numerous residents with problems.

I feel he would make a terrific recipient and I know Richard Meder would approve. Conner's dad is the fire chief and I believe Conner has been a volunteer on the fire dept. too. I will check further on dates, etc.
