DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES - HIGHLIGHTS FOR FY2024-25
The Public Works Department Engineering Division manages the Development Impact Fee (DIF) expenditures for capital improvement projects. The fees are collected through the building permit approval process and deposited into discreet funds for Law Enforcement, Streets and Traffic Signals, Transit and Trails, Storm Drains, General Facilities, Parkland and Recreation, and Airport. Fees are also collected for other Special Districts for Library Fees, Child Care Fees, and Fire District Fees. DIF fees can only be used for projects and facilities in the proportion that are included as part of the DIF Ordinance.

When DIF fees are used for a Capital Project, they are DIF fees are listed as a source of revenue.

TOWN’S DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE FUNDS
The Town adopted Ordinance No. 98-01 establishing Development Impact Fees (DIF) on new development projects and added Municipal Code Sections 15.16.080 through 15.16.095. The regulations were adopted through the enactment of Government Code Sections 66001 through 66009. The ordinance was adopted to defray the cost of new development impacts on existing infrastructure that cannot be accommodated by the existing community. The fees are only for the reasonable incremental cost of new facilities that are required as the result of new development.

Projects that are eligible to be funded by DIF are required to be listed in the Development Impact Fee project list. These projects are also analyzed to determine what portion of a project is required due to the impacts of new development and what portion is necessary to serve the existing population at the time the DIF Ordinance was adopted, or when a new project was added to the list. Generally, the percentage of a project has ranged from 33% to 100% to be paid for by new development. The project analysis also considers Level of Service (LOS) deficiencies that result from new development.

There are eight categories of Development Impact Fees. Six are for Town facilities, one for the Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District, and one for the Mono County Office of Education.

The Town fee categories and descriptions are as follows:

A. General Facilities. This fee includes law enforcement facilities, construction of new office and maintenance facilities, and fleet additions of vehicles and equipment. The fee is based on the prorata share for new development.

B. Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment. The fee is the pro-rata share of a new police station and fleet additions.

C. Storm Drainage Collection Facilities, which includes storm drainage collection and treatment facilities.

The fee is the pro-rata share for new development.

D. Parkland Acquisition and Recreation Facilities. This fee is the pro-rata share of new development for the purchase of new park land and development of park facilities.

E. Mono County Office of Education Facilities (MCOE). The Town collects the fees on behalf of the MCOE and the Town does not have jurisdiction over the amount or use of the fee.

F. Circulation System (Streets, Signals, Bridges, Transit, and Trials). This fee is the pro-rata share for new development for street infrastructure projects to maintain a circulation level LOS D for streets and intersections as described in the General Plan EIR.

G. Fire Suppression Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment. This fee is for new apparatus and Fire Station.

The Town collects the fee on behalf of the Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District and the Town does not have jurisdiction over the amount or use of the fee.

Assessment Districts Fund
(850 – 861)

Page 225 of 387 ends

ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS – HIGHLIGHTS FOR FY2024-25

FUND DESCRIPTION
An Assessment District is a financing mechanism under the California Streets and Highways Code, Division 10 and 12 which enables cities, counties and special districts organized for the purpose of aiding in the development or improvements to, or within the district, to designate specific areas as Assessment Districts, with the approval of a majority of the landowners based on financial obligations, and allows these Districts to collect special assessments to finance the improvements constructed or acquired by the District. Assessment Districts help each property owner pay a fair share of the costs of such improvements over a period of years at reasonable interest rates and ensures that the cost will be spread to all properties that receive the direct and special benefit by the improvements constructed.

The town has several benefit assessment districts that were formed to build new infrastructure and maintain the infrastructure once it was built.

Juniper Ridge Assessment District 93-1 was formed in 1993 pursuant to the landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. The district is located east of Lake Mary Road and consists of the residential parcels on Juniper Road and Juniper Court. The annual maintenance includes snow management, landscaping maintenance, and lighting maintenance.

The Bluff’s Assessment District 93-4, Zone 1 was formed in 1993 pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911. The district is located east of Old Mammoth Road and consisting of residential parcels on Pine Street, Fir Street, and LeVerne Street. The annual maintenance includes snow management, road and roadway improvements, street light maintenance, and drainage structures.

Old Mammoth Road Benefit Assessment District No. 2002-1 was formed in 2002 pursuant to the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982. The district is located west of Sierra Park Road, south of Main Street, and along Old Mammoth Road to Mammoth Creek Park. The improvements within the district may include, but are not limited to snow management, drainage, landscaping, curb, gutter and sidewalk repairs and maintenance.

North Village Area Benefit Assessment District No. 2002-2, Zone 1 was formed in 2002 pursuant to the Benefit Assessment District Act of 1982. The district is described generally as the North Village Specific Plan Area, zoned for commercial resort and consists of residential and commercial uses located along Minaret Road, Forest Trail, Main Street, Canyon Boulevard, Hillside drive,

Page 226 of 387 ends

Berner Street and Lake Mary Road. The improvements within the district may include, but are not limited to snow management, drainage, landscaping, curb, gutter and sidewalk repairs and maintenance.

Mammoth View Benefit Assessment District No. 2014-1 was formed in 2014 pursuant to the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982. The district is generally bounded by Main Street, on the south, on the northeast by Alpine Circle, on the east by Mountain Boulevard and on the west near Minaret Road. The District maintenance activities may include but are not limited to, all of the following: maintenance of Viewpoint Road and the emergency access area, including the emergency access area traffic control management device (e.g., gate) snow management including the melting, removal, and hauling, summer sidewalk sweeping, hardscape and landscape maintenance, street lights, monument and directional sign maintenance, banner maintenance, and the upkeep, repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement.

Community Facilities District 2005-1 (In Lieu DIF) was formed in 2008. The district permits a property owner to avoid paying a portion of the Development Impact Fees and instead annex into the district and pay an annual special tax. The Town is authorized to levy a special tax upon these property owners that annex into the district and the special tax will fund authorized services and capital projects.

Community Facilities District 2013-3 (Transit Services) was formed in 2014 for subdivisions in the Resort Zone that allow transient occupancies. Properties with occupancy permits are within Obsidian Residence Club, Altis, Canyon side, Gray Bear I, Gray Bear II, and Gray Bear III. The imposition of such a tax at an appropriate rate would satisfy the fiscal impact requirements of the Town’s mitigation requirements for the 2007 General Plan Environmental Impact Report and the Intrawest Development Agreement to which the parcels are subject.

GARAGE SERVICES – HIGHLIGHTS FOR FY2024-25

DESCRIPTION
The Vehicle Service Fund, also referred to as the Garage, is used to track maintenance costs for our vehicle fleet. The garage staff is comprised of four mechanics, two mechanic trainees, and one fleet superintendent. The staff maintains all vehicles in the Town’s fleet, including most repairs, fuel, and periodic maintenance. When work is performed on a vehicle, the department where that vehicle is assigned will be charged the cost of repair including staff time. This type of account is known as an internal service fund where expenses are covered by work performed for other departments.

In addition to internal service, the Garage services outside entities. These outside agencies include Eastern Sierra Transit Authority, Mammoth Unified School District, Mammoth lakes Fire Department, and some Mono county vehicles. The Garage provides repair and preventative maintenance services as well as managing access to the Town fuel island. The Town provides both diesel and gasoline to our partners. The fund has a projected budget of $1,424,093 for FY24-

25. The expenditure includes a transfer out to Gas Tax of $60,000 to cover 50% of maintenance for the garage facility.

The staffing for Garage Services includes:

Fleet Superintendent (1)
Mechanic Lead Worker (1)
Fleet Mechaincs (3)
Fleet Mechanic Trainee (2)
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS - Major Budget Changes
The Town continues to manage Fund 915 which separated the vehicle replacement fund from general garage activities.

VEHICLE REPLACEMENT – HIGHLIGHTS FOR FY2024-25

DESCRIPTION
The vehicle replacement fund was new for FY21-22, separating vehicle replacement from garage services as noted above. This change was made to separate two diverse but equally important motor pool functions and provide clarity on the cost of operations for the cost of vehicle replacement. The vehicle replacement portion supports the purchase of a replacement vehicle once the existing piece of equipment is all used up. This is accomplished using a calculation to estimate the required annual set aside to cover future replacement costs based on expected lifespan, original vehicle costs and annual CPI increases. The vehicle is assigned to a division, within departments that use the vehicle, which is charged funds necessary for replacement. Below is a list of charges for the FY24-25 budget by operating department:

ARTICLE XIIIB APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
Fiscal Year 2024- 25
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution was created by the passage of Proposition 4 in November 1979 and establishes a limit on the amount of tax revenue that can be appropriated by government jurisdictions. This limit is popularly known as the Gann Limit. Each year, the limit is recalculated by multiplying the previous year' s limit by adjusting factors for population growth and inflation. Proposition 111, passed in June 1990, gave cities the option of using their own growth or the growth of the entire county in which the city is located as the population adjustment factor. Cities were also given the option of using the increase in California Per Capita Income or the increase in the assessed valuation of non-residential property in the City as the inflation adjustment factor. Cities have the option each year of deciding which factor to use. For 2024- 25, the Town of Mammoth Lakes is using the population growth of Mono County and the increase in California Per Capita Income.
2023- 24 Appropriations Limit
2023- 24 Adjustment Factors

Not all Town appropriations are subject to the limitations of Article XIIIB. The intent of Proposition 4 was to restrict only the appropriation of "proceeds of taxes." Determining which appropriations are subject to the limit requires classifying each funding source as either proceeds of taxes or non -proceeds of taxes. Property tax and local taxes are subject to limitation i.e. TOT, Measure R, and Measure U. State taxes that are subvented to the Town count against the Town' s limit if their use is unrestricted, as in the case of sales tax. State subventions that are restricted in use, such as gas tax and state grants, are applied against the State' s limit rather than the Town' s, so they are considered non - proceeds of taxes for the Town' s calculation. Interest income is prorated so that the interest earned on tax revenue is included as proceeds of taxes.

The Town' s other revenue sources are classified as non -proceeds of taxes: franchise fees, assessment districts, fines and penalties, license and permit fees, service charges, rentals and concessions, federal grants, internal service revenues and other miscellaneous revenues. Enterprise funds are also exempt from the limitation. Fund transfers are re - appropriations of revenue and have already been included in the calculation of appropriations and are not counted twice.

Reserve Policy —Town of Mammoth Lakes
Updated June 2024
General Provision:

A comprehensive reserve strategy is a crucial part of sound financial management for any municipality.

This is true for Town of Mammoth Lakes is particularly highlighted because of the heavy reliance on the single revenue stream of Transient Occupancy Tax ( TOT). Revenue form TOT accounts for over 60% of the Town' s General Fund budgeted revenue. To prepare for and respond to unknown adverse financial conditions, it is recommended that the Town' s Reserve for Economic Uncertainty and the operating reserve combine be funded at an amount equal to or grated than 25% of Total General Fund Revenue.

The Reserve Policy is comprised of four components, three for operational needs and one for debt service payments, all combine for a comprehensive reserve strategy. The components include Reserve for Economic Uncertainty ( REU), Operating Reserve ( OR), Contingency, and Debt Reserve. This policy is reviewed on an annual basis during final budget adoption to review the established baseline revenue used in calculating REU and OR.

Baseline Revenue is established on an annual basis during the budget process. Baseline Revenue must meet or exceed the General Fund Revenue in the Adopted Budget of the Fiscal Year AQL FN 24_ 25 Baseline Revenue $ 33, 000, 000 to be used in the calculation of both REV and OR AQL Baseline General Fund Revenue: $ 33, 000, 000
Rcscrve for Economic Uncertainty ( REU) Target: 200,o of $33, 000, 000 _ S6, 600 000 Operating Reserve. (OR) Target: 5% of S33. 000. 000 S1, 650, 000 Targeted Nlurimum Reserve Balance = S8. 250. 000
Component # 1— Reserve for Economic Uncertainty ( REU)
Purpose: To minimalize the impact to town services in the event of a long-term revenue shortfall from an economic downturn or other localized event that negatively affects the town' s revenue sources. These localized events could be in the form of a natural disaster that affects the town itself or access to the town. These events are unique and significant in order to engage use of the REU.

Funding Target: $ 6, 600, 000 for FY24- 25 based on 20% of Baseline Revenue established for FY24- 25.

Baseline must meet or exceed the General Fund Revenue in the adopted budget for the Fiscal Year.

Funding Priority: The REU is the most important component of the reserve strategy as it maintains the most critical security for continued Town operations. For that reason, this fund must take priority to maintain 100% funded status if possible. The engagement of this policy means the town has experienced 1

Page 268 of 387 ends

a significant emergency and therefore may have a long recovery period. Following the economic recovery from such an emergency, Town Council would determine priorities of funding depending on current town needs.

Fund Location: These funds reside in the Mono County investment pool and any interest earned on these funds are rolled into the REU balance.

Component # 2 — Operating Reserve ( OR)
Purpose: This component can be used to weather short term economic impacts or to take advantage of unanticipated funding needs such as grant opportunities, response to damaged facilities, unanticipated short-term declines in revenue or new state and federal cost mandates. This component is more flexible than the REU and therefore could be engaged more frequently.

Engagement Timing: This tool may be engaged when revenues fall short of needs in any year, which are not offset by a reduction in expenses. The funds are authorized for use by town council, usually in response to a request from staff. This fund will be fully depleted in advance of engaging the REU.

Funding Target: $ 1, 650, 000 for FY24- 25 based on 5% of Baseline Revenue established for FY24- 25.

Baseline must meet or exceed the General Fund Revenue in the adopted budget for the Fiscal Year.

Funding Priority: We do have a number of revenue sources that are not budgeted on an annual basis due to their uncertainty. It is possible to designate any revenue received from these sources to fund the Operating Reserve. This entry could be made on a quarterly basis and minimize the request of Fund Balance or other one- time dollars to fund this account. If the qualifying events were severe enough to engage the REU funds, this re -funding process would begin once REU is fully restored.

Fund Location: These funds reside in the Town' s LAIF investment pool. This would allow for interest earning as well as immediate access when needed.

Component # 3 — Contingency
Purpose: This fund allows for flexibility for rapid response to small projects or unanticipated needs that arise such as damages to town facilities, repair or replacement of equipment, offsetting small amounts of variance on revenue estimates or expenses like postage and office supplies.

Engagement Timing: This tool is generally allocated at Town Manager' s designation as needed or as authorized by Town Council direction.

Funding Target: This component is a part of the normal budget process and is budgeted at $100, 000 per year.

Funding Priority: This component is allocated during the annual budget process for the Town' s operating budget. Funds can be used at the direction of Councilor Town Manager and once used will not be funded again during the year. To this point, these funds should be reserved for the most important projects or N

one- time unanticipated costs. Any funds remaining in the account at the end of the year may be shifted to REU or OR to remain within the reserve structure.

Fund Location: These funds reside in the Town' s LAIF investment pool. This would allow for interest earning as well as immediate access when needed.

Component # 4 — Debt Reserve
Purpose: This reserve secures money to cover the Town' s debts in the event of a long- term revenue shortfall from an economic downturn or other localized event that negatively affects the town' s revenue sources.

Engagement Timing: This reserve can only be engaged at Town Council direction, who would determine that a qualifying event has occurred and the level of impact from the emergency warrants the use of the REU for operational needs and employ this reserve to cover debt payments made from the General Fund.

Funding Target: $ 1, 100, 000 which is 50% of the annual payments for debt service paid by the General Fund. The chart below was used to establish the funding target. Any additional debt secured by the Town and serviced with payments from the General Fund would be added to this calculation.

Debt Reserve 50% Annual Pa- went - Lease Revenue Bond ( 2015) Police Facility - Refinance COP Average Annual Payment $ 315, 073 = S157, 540)
Debt Reserve 50% Annual Payment - Taxable Judgment Obligation Bonds ( 2017) ( Average Annual Payment 51, 369,919 = S934, 960
Debt Reserves ( rounded and fully funded to polic}) = S1, 100, 000 Funding Priority: This component is fully funded, and any new General Fund debt would require immediate increase to remain within policy.

Fund Location: These funds reside in the Town' s LAIF investment pool. This would allow for interest earning as well as immediate access when needed.

Conclusion:

This policy outlines a secure plan for funding for unknown circumstances, loss of revenue or substantial unfunded expenditures. When fully funded this reserve policy will provide 25% or more of the Town' s General Fund operating budget with an additional 50% of annual debt payments made from the General Fund. Town administration and Finance leadership believe this policy provides a financially sound reserve capacity to support the town should the need arise. This policy outlines the recommended amounts for each category. There is nothing in the policy that prohibits Council from allocated funds beyond the currently stated targets.

Debt Management Policy Town of Mammoth Lakes

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Debt Management Policy ( the " Debt Policy") has been developed to provide guidance in the issuance and management of debt by the Town of Mammoth Lakes ( the " Town" or " Mammoth Lakes") or any other public agency for which the Town Council sits as its legislative body and is intended to comply with Government Code Section 8855( I), effective on January 1, 2017. The main objectives are to establish conditions for the use of debt; to ensure that debt capacity and affordability are adequately considered; to minimize the Town' s interest and issuance costs; to maintain the highest possible credit rating; to provide complete financial disclosure and reporting; and to maintain financial flexibility for the Town.

Debt, properly issued and managed, is a critical element in any financial management program. It assists in the Town' s effort to allocate limited resources to provide the highest quality of service and facilities to the public. The Town desires to manage its debt program to promote economic growth and enhance the vitality of the Town for its residents and businesses. This policy covers various types of debt; some of which it is unlikely the Town would issue.

This Debt Policy was approved by the Town Council on 6/ 21/ 2023. The Debt Policy may be amended by the Town Council as it deems appropriate from time to time in the prudent management of the debt of the Town.

FINDINGS"
This Debt Policy shall govern all debt undertaken by the Town. The Town hereby recognizes that a fiscally prudent debt policy is required to:

Maintain the Town' s sound financial position.

Ensure the Town has the flexibility to respond to changes in future capital needs and service priorities, revenue levels, and operating expenses.

Protect the Town' s credit -worthiness.

Ensure that all debt repayment is structured to protect both current and future taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents of the Town and fit within the projected revenues available to pay debt service.

Ensure that the Town' s use and repayment of debt is consistent with the Town' s planning goals and objectives and capital improvement program or budget, as applicable.

Encourage those that benefit from a proposed facility or improvement to pay the cost of that facility or improvement to minimize the impact on limited general fund resources.

Debt Management Policy Town of Mammoth Lakes
POLICIES"
Purposes for Which Debt Mav Be Issued"
The Town will consider the use of debt financing primarily for capital improvement projects ( CIP) when the project' s useful life will equal or exceed the term of the financing and when resources are identified sufficient to fund the debt service requirements. An exception to this CIP driven focus is the issuance of short- term instruments such as tax and revenue anticipation notes, which are to be used for prudent cash management purposes and conduit financing, as described below. Bonded debt should not be issued for projects with minimal public benefit or support, or to finance normal operating expenses.

If a department has any project which is expected to use debt financing, the department director is responsible for providing the Town Manager and the Administrative Services Director with reasonable cost estimates, including identifying sources for the payment for debt service. This will allow for an analysis of the project' s potential impact on the Town' s debt capacity and limitations. The department director shall also provide an estimate of any incremental operating and/ or additional maintenance costs associated with the project and identify sources of revenue, if any, to pay for such incremental costs.

Long -Term Debt"
Long- term debt may be issued to finance or refinance the construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of capital improvements and facilities, equipment and land to be owned and/ or operated by the Town. Longterm debt financings are appropriate when the following conditions exist:

When the project to be financed is necessary to provide basic services.

When the project to be financed will provide benefit to constituents over multiple years.

When total debt does not constitute an unreasonable burden to the Town and its taxpayers and ratepayers.

When the debt is used to refinance outstanding debt to produce debt service savings or to realize the benefits of a debt restructuring.

Long-term debt financings will not generally be considered appropriate for current operating expenses and routine maintenance expenses.
2

Page 278 of 387 ends

Debt Management Policy Town of Mammoth Lakes
The Town may use long-term debt financings subject to the following conditions:

The project to be financed has been or will be approved by the Town Council.

The weighted average maturity of the debt (or the portion of the debt allocated to the project) will not exceed the average useful life of the project to be financed by more than 20%, unless specific conditions exist that would mitigate the extension of time to repay the debt and it would not cause the Town to violate any covenants to maintain the tax-exempt status of such debt, if applicable.

The Town estimates that sufficient income or revenues will be available to service the debt through its maturity and to the extent possible repayment will come from user fees or dedicated revenues and not from general fund sources.

The Town determines that the issuance of the debt will comply with the applicable requirements of state and federal law.

The Town considers the improvement/ facility to be of vital, time -sensitive need of the community and there are no plausible alternative financing sources.

Periodic reviews of outstanding long-term debt will be undertaken to identify refunding opportunities. Refunding will be considered ( within federal tax law constraints, if applicable) if and when there is a net economic benefit of the refunding. Refundings which are non -economic may be undertaken to achieve Town objectives relating to changes in covenants, call provisions, operational flexibility, tax status of the issuer, or the debt service profile.

In general, refundings which produce a net present value savings of at least three percent (3%) of the refunded par amount will be considered economically viable. Refundings which produce a net present value savings of less than three percent 0%) will be considered on a case -by -case basis, and are subject to Town Council approval. Advance refundings will also be evaluated based on the future outlook for interest rates, breakeven analysis and the potential use of the estimated debt service savings.

Short-term Debt" Short- term borrowing may be issued to generate funding for cash flow needs in the form of Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes ( TRAN).

Short-term borrowing, such as commercial paper, and lines of credit, will be considered as an interim source of funding in anticipation of long-term borrowing. Short-term debt maybe issued for any purpose for which long-term debt may be issued, including capitalized interest and other financing -related costs. Prior to issuance of the short- term debt, a reliable revenue source shall be identified to secure repayment of the debt.

The final maturity of the debt issued to finance the project shall be consistent with the economic or useful life of the project and, unless the Town Council determines that extraordinary circumstances exist, must not exceed seven ( 7) years.

Short-term debt may also be used to finance short-lived capital projects; for example, the Town may undertake lease -purchase financing for equipment, and such equipment leases may be longer than 7 years.

Financings on Behalf of Other Entities"
The Town may also find it beneficial to issue debt on behalf of other governmental agencies or private third parties in order to further the public purposes of Town. In such cases, the Town shall take reasonable steps to confirm the financial feasibility of the project to be financed and the financial solvency of any borrower and 3

that the issuance of such debt is consistent with the policies set forth herein. In no event will the Town incur any liability or assume responsibility for payment of debt service on such debt. 4

Page 280 of 387 ends

Debt Management Policy Town of Mammoth Lakes
TYPES OF DEBT"
In order to maximize the financial options available to benefit the public, it is the policy of the Town of Mammoth Lakes to allow for the consideration of issuing all generally accepted types of debt, including, but not exclusive to the following:

General Obligation ( GO) Bonds"
General Obligation Bonds are suitable for use in the construction or acquisition of improvements to real property that benefit the public at large. Examples of projects include libraries, parks, and public safety facilities. All GO bonds shall be authorized by the requisite number of voters in order to pass.

Revenue Bonds"
Revenue Bonds are limited -liability obligations tied to a specific enterprise or special fund revenue stream where the projects financed clearly benefit or relate to the enterprise or are otherwise permissible uses of the special revenue. An example of projects that would be financed by a Revenue Bond would be improvements to a utility system, which would be paid back with money raised from the rates and charges to water users.

Generally, no voter approval is required to issue this type of obligation but in some cases, the Town must comply with proposition 218 regarding rate adjustments. A dedicated voter approved tax measure that allows the use of the tax for debt is another example.

Lease -Backed Debt/ Certificates of Participation" ( COP/ Lease Revenue Bonds)._ Issuance of Lease -backed debt is a commonly used form of debt that allows a Town to finance projects where the debt service is secured via a lease agreement and where the payments are budgeted in the annual budget appropriation by the Town from the general fund. Lease -Backed debt does not constitute indebtedness under the state or the Town' s constitutional debt limit and does not require voter approval. Lease Revenue Bonds may be issued by the Mammoth Lakes/Guadalupe Valley Municipal Improvement District Public Financing Authority on behalf of the Town.

Special Assessment/ Special Tax District Debt"
The Town will consider requests from developers for the use of debt financing secured by property based assessments or special taxes to provide for necessary infrastructure for new development only under strict guidelines adopted by the Town Council, which may include minimum value -to -lien ratios and maximum tax burdens. Examples of this type of debt are Assessment Districts ( AD) and Community Facilities Districts CFD) sometimes referred to as Mello -Roos Districts. In order to protect bondholders as well as the Town' s credit rating, the Town will also comply with all State guidelines regarding the issuance of special tax district or special assessment debt, as well as any policy required to be adopted under Government Code Section 53312• 7•
Tax Allocation Bonds"
Tax Allocation Bonds are special obligations that are secured by the allocation of tax increment revenues that are generated by increased property taxes in the designated redevelopment area. Tax Allocation Bonds are not debt of the Town. Due to changes in the law affecting California Redevelopment agencies with the passage of ABX1 26 ( as amended, the Dissolution Act) as codified in the California Health and Safety Code, the Town may not form a Redevelopment Agency and will not be able to issue tax allocation bonds.

Page 281 of 387 ends

Debt Management Policy Town of Mammoth Lakes
Multi -Family Mortgage Revenue Bonds"
The Town is authorized to issue mortgage revenue bonds to finance the development, acquisition and rehabilitation of multi -family rental projects. The interest on the bonds can be exempt from Federal and State taxation. Asa result, bonds provide below market financing for qualified rental projects. In addition, the bonds issued can qualify projects for allocations of Federal low-income housing tax credits, which can provide a significant portion of the funding necessary to develop affordable housing.

HUD Section io8 Loan Guarantee Program"
The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD) Section 1o8 Loan Guarantee Program allows cities to use their annual Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG) entitlement grants to obtain federally guaranteed funds large enough to stimulate or pay for major community development and economic development projects. The program does not require a pledge of the Town' s General Fund, only of future CDBG entitlements. By pledging future CDBG entitlement grants as security, the Town can borrow at favorable interest rates because of HUD' s guarantee of repayment to investors.

The Town may from time to time find that other forms of debt would be beneficial to further its public purposes and may approve such debt without an amendment of this Debt Policy.

To maintain a predictable debt service burden, the Town will give preference to debt that carries a fixed interest rate. An alternative to the use of fixed rate debt is variable rate debt. The Town may choose to issue securities that pay a rate of interest that adjusts after a pre -determined period according to a pre -determined formula or a rate resulting from a periodic remarketing of securities. When making the determination to issue bonds with a variable rate, consideration will be given in regard to the useful life of the project or facility being financed or the term of the project requiring the funding, market conditions, credit risk and third -party risk analysis, and the overall debt portfolio structure when issuing variable rate debt for any purpose. The maximum amount of variable -rate debt should be limited to no more than zo percent of the total debt portfolio.

The Town will not employ derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, in its debt program. A derivative product is a financial instrument which derives its own value from the value of another instrument, usually an underlying asset such as a stock, bond, or an underlying reference such as an interest rate. Derivatives are commonly used as hedging devices in managing interest rate risk and thereby reducing borrowing costs. However, these products bear certain risks not associated with standard debt instruments.

Internal Debt"
The Town may from time to time use its own internal resources to fund defined CIP projects, acquire land and facilities or to meet operational needs. The Town Council must authorize such borrowing and may set the term, interest rate if any, and define the source of repayment. The use of internal debt shall meet any legal restrictions placed on the use of funds by federal or state law, or Town ordinances.

Page 282 of 387 ends

Debt Management Policy Town of Mammoth Lakes
METHOD OF SALE"
Bonds can generally be sold at a competitive sale or negotiated sale, or be privately placed.

Competitive Sale"
Offering documents are sent to any firm interested in purchasing the bonds. A day and time are chosen for the sale and bonds are awarded to the firm offering the lowest true interest cost on the bonds ( the " TIC").

The TIC is the discount rate which results in a present value of the future debt service payments equal to amount bid for the bonds.

Negotiated Sale"
One firm, or group of firms, is chosen in advance to offer the bonds for sale. At the time of sale, interest rates and other terms of the bonds are negotiated with the Underwriter.

Direct Placement"
A purchaser, usually an individual or bank, is identified and the bonds are placed directly. The purchaser can be selected through either a competitive or negotiated process. Interest rates and other terms of the bonds are negotiated with the selected purchaser.

The Town will generally pursue a competitive process for selling its bonds. There are certain circumstances under which the Town would consider a negotiated sale or private placements. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to;
Bonds issued with a variable rate of interest
Bonds rated below A- or not rated
Very small or very large bond issues
Unstable or highly volatile markets
Bonds with unusual security or structure
Bonds for which a negotiated sale provides other benefits such as flexible timing or local marketing of bonds
If the Town determines that a negotiated sale is warranted it will select an underwriting firm( s) based on a competitive process and/ or prior performance. The selection of an underwriter( s) will be based on a determination of the firm that demonstrates its ability to obtain the overall best interest rate for Town while achieving the Town' s goals with the financing. Consideration in making this determination will be given to the firm' s experience with similar financings, proposed compensation structure and marketing plan.

Debt Management Policy Town of Mammoth Lakes
RELATIONSHIP OF DEBT TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND BUDGET" The Town intends to issue debt for the purposes stated in this Debt Policy and to implement policy decisions incorporated in the Town' s capital budget and the capital improvement plan.

The Town shall strive to fund the upkeep and maintenance of its infrastructure and facilities due to normal wear and tear through the expenditure of available operating revenues. The Town shall seek to avoid the use of debt to fund infrastructure and facilities improvements that are the result of normal wear and tear, unless a specific revenue source has been identified for this purpose.

The Town shall integrate its debt issuances with the goals of its capital improvement program by timing the issuance of debt to ensure that bond proceeds are available when needed in furtherance of the Town' s public purposes
The Town shall seek to issue debt in a timely manner to avoid having to make unplanned expenditures for capital improvements or equipment from its general fund or holding bond proceeds for extended periods while earning negative arbitrage.

POLICY GOALS RELATED TO PLANNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES"
The Town is committed to financial planning, maintaining appropriate reserves levels and employing prudent practices in governance, management and budget administration. The Town intends to issue debt for the purposes stated in this Debt Policy and to implement policy decisions incorporated in the Town' s annual operating budget.

It is a policy goal of the Town to protect taxpayers, ratepayers and constituents by utilizing conservative financing methods and techniques to obtain the highest practical credit ratings ( if applicable) and the lowest practical borrowing costs.

The Town will comply with applicable state and federal law as it pertains to the maximum term of debt and the procedures for levying and imposing any related taxes, assessments, rates and charges.

Except as described in Section z. A., when refinancing debt, it shall be the policy goal of the Town to realize, whenever possible, and subject to any overriding non -financial policy considerations minimum net present value debt service savings equal to or greater than 3% of the refunded principal amount.

Page 284 of 387 ends

Debt Management Policy Town of Mammoth Lakes
INTERNAL CONTROL PROCEDURES"
When issuing debt, in addition to complying with the terms of this Debt Policy, the Town shall comply with any other applicable policies regarding initial bond disclosure, continuing disclosure, post -issuance compliance, and investment of bond proceeds.

The Town will periodically review the requirements of and will remain in compliance with the following:
any continuing disclosure undertakings under SEC Rule 15c2- 12, any federal tax compliance requirements, including without limitation arbitrage and rebate compliance, related to any prior bond issues, and
the Town' s investment policies as they relate to the investment of bond proceeds.

Whenever reasonably possible, proceeds of debt will be held by a third -party trustee and the Town will submit written requisitions for such proceeds. The Town will submit a requisition only after obtaining the signature of the Town Manager or the Administrative Services Director or a designee.

WAIVERS OF DEBT POLICY"
There may be circumstances from time to time when strict adherence to a provision of this Debt Policy is not possible or in the best interests of the Town and the failure of a debt financing to comply with one or more provisions of this Debt Policy shall in no way affect the validity of any debt issued by the Town in accordance with applicable laws.

BUILDING DIVISION FEE SCHEDULE
Fiscal Year 2024-2025
Building Valuation
The valuation to be used in computing permit fees under any of the provisions of this Fee Schedule shall be determined by the Building Official. The valuation shall be the total of all construction work for which the permit is issued including all finish work, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevator, fire extinguishing systems, and any other permanent construction and equipment. Valuation shall be taken at the contract price as approved by the Building Official or adopted edition of the International Code Council' s Building Valuation Data Table.

Building Division Fees
Where plans are incomplete, inaccurate, or changed so as to require additional plan review beyond three plan checks, an additional plan review fee shall be charged at the hourly rate of $90.00 per hour for in- house plan checks and at the hourly rate of the outside plan check firm if the plans are routed to an outside plan checker.

1. New Structures and Additions
The building permit fee for a new structure or an addition to an existing structure shall be based on the square foot construction costs from the International Code Council' s Building Valuation Table as adopted by the Town and multiplied by a factor of 0.032. The Table in effect for fee calculations will be the most recent table in effect as July 1 of the current fiscal year. For new structures and additions, 10% of the building permit fee will be collected at the time of permit submittal and is non- refundable. The balance of the building permit fee as well as all other applicable fees will be due at the time of permit issuance.

Chapter 1: Introduction 1
Chapter 1: Introduction
The Town of Mammoth Lakes Town Council
establishes policies and priorities for the
community and is responsible for the fiscal
health of the Town.

Purpose
Town of Mammoth Lakes Staff prepared
this guide to assist the Town Council by
documenting current accepted practices.

Through the approval of this guide,
the effective administration of Town
Council affairs is greatly enhanced. While
attempting not to be overly restrictive,
procedures can be clearly articulated to
guide Councilmembers in their actions.

Overview of Town Documents
This Guide provides a summary of important
aspects of Town Council activities.

However, it cannot incorporate all material
and information necessary for undertaking
the business of the Town Council. Many
other laws, policies, plans, and documents
exist which bind the Town Council to certain
courses of action and practices. Summaries
of some notable documents that establish
Town Council direction are provided below.

Municipal Code
The Municipal Code contains local laws and
regulations. Various chapters describe rules
and responsibilities related to the Town
Council, including appointments to Town
Boards and Commissions. The Municipal
Code is available on the Town’s website.

Changes to the Municipal Code are made by
the Town Council’s adoption of ordinances.

General Plan
The General Plan is a land use document
required by the California Government
Code. It provides a comprehensive,
long-term guide to development within
the Town. It can also govern land uses
outside Town boundaries within the Town
designated “sphere of influence,” which is
approved by the Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO). The General Plan
establishes standards, guidelines and
priorities that define the community now
and for the future, a future where Mammoth
Lakes is a premier, thriving, sustainable
community. The community takes seriously
our responsibility as stewards of the
environment, protectors of residents’ quality
of life, and caretakers of visitors’ quality
of experience. The “Community Vision”
from the General Plan embodies important
values and principles that recognize the
uniqueness of our natural surroundings and
our character as a village in the trees.

Orientation of New Councilmembers
It is important that Councilmembers
understand the full range of services and
programs provided by the organization. As
new members join the Town Council, the
Town Manager coordinates with department
heads to provide tours of Town facilities and
meetings with key staff.

League of California Cities
The League of California Cities (Cal Cities)
is an association of virtually all cities in
California. It provides many services
including the production of educational
conferences for local officials and Town
Staff, publication of various newsletters,
and legislative advocacy efforts. Cal Cities
offers a New Mayors and Council Members
Academy held in January of each year. More
information can be found on their website:
www.calcities.org.

Chapter 2: Town Council Powers and Responsibilities 3
Chapter 2: Town Council Powers and Responsibilities
General Law Cities
The Town of Mammoth Lakes is a general
law city operating under a Council/Manager
form of government with the Town Council
acting as the legislative body of the Town.

As a general law city, the legal authority for
the Town’s acts originates from the laws
of the State of California (as opposed to a
charter city which is governed by a charter).

The Town Council is comprised of five
elected positions. Elections are staggered
every two years with each Councilmember
serving a four-year term. Each year, typically
in December, the Town Council selects two
of its members to serve one-year terms as
Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem.

Town Council Generally
The Town has the full power and authority
to make all laws, regulations, and policies
related to municipal affairs, subject to State
and federal law.

The Town Council acts as a single body. No
member has extraordinary powers beyond
those of other members. The Mayor, and
Mayor Pro Tem in the Mayor’s absence, have
additional duties as the presiding officer at
Council meetings. However, all members of
the Town Council, including the Mayor and
Mayor Pro Tem, have equal roles and votes
in making Town policy.

Policy decisions and other actions require
at least a majority vote of the Town Council.

While individual Councilmembers may
disagree with decisions of the majority, a
decision of the majority binds the Town
Council to a course of action. In turn, it is
Staff’s responsibility to ensure the policy of
the Town Council is carried out. Actions of
Staff to pursue policy direction established
by a majority of the Town Council do not
reflect any bias against Councilmembers
who hold a minority opinion on an issue.

Members of the Town Council often
participate and provide leadership in local,
regional, State, and federal programs and
meetings. Councilmembers are strongly
encouraged to report to the Town Council
on matters discussed at these meetings.

Conflict of Interest
State laws are in place to prevent an
action by a Councilmember that would or
may constitute a conflict of interest. The
purpose of such laws and regulations is
to ensure that all actions are taken in the
public interest. Any time a Councilmember
believes a potential for conflict of interest
exists, they are encouraged to consult with
the Town Attorney for advice. Staff may
also request an opinion from the Town
Attorney regarding a Councilmember’s
potential conflict. Laws that regulate
conflicts are very complicated. Violations
may result in significant penalties including
criminal prosecution.

There are two primary laws that govern
conflicts of interest for public officials in
California – the Political Reform Act and
Government Code Section 1090. In general
terms, the Political Reform Act prohibits
a public official from having a financial
interest in a decision before the official;
Section 1090 prohibits a public official from
having an interest in government contracts.

The Political Reform Act prohibits public
officials from making, participating in, or
in any way attempting to use their official
position to influence a governmental

Page 324 of 387 ends

4 Town of Mammoth Lakes – Guide to Town Council Processes and Procedures decision in which they know, or have reason
to know that they have a financial interest.

Therefore, if a public official has a conflict
of interest, the official must disqualify
themselves from acting on or participating
in the decision before the Town.

Government Code Section 1090 is similar
to the Political Reform Act but applies
only to Town contracts in which a public
official has a financial interest. The financial
interests covered by Section 1090 are
different from those in the Political Reform
Act. A Councilmember having an interest
in a contract may preclude the Town from
entering into a contract at all. In addition,
penalties for violating Section 1090 are
severe. If a Councilmember believes that
they may have any financial interest in
a contract that will be before the Town
Council, the Councilmember should
immediately apprise and seek advice from
the Town Attorney.

State law prohibits a Councilmember
from simultaneously holding two public
offices that are incompatible. Offices
are incompatible when any of the
following circumstances are present
unless simultaneous holding of the
particular offices is compelled or expressly
authorized by law:

1. Either of the offices may audit, overrule,
remove members of, dismiss employees
of, or exercise supervisory powers over
the other office or body.

2. Based on the powers and jurisdiction
of the offices, there is a possibility of

Page 325 of 387 ends

Chapter 2: Town Council Powers and Responsibilities 5
a significant clash of duties or loyalties
between the offices.

3. Public policy considerations make it
improper for one person to hold both
offices.

This doctrine prevents an individual from
serving simultaneously on the Town Council
and as an elected or appointed official
for the County of the special districts
in Mammoth Lakes.

Identifying Potential Conflicts of
Interest
Conflicts may exist when a Councilmember
joins the Town Council due to their
property or business ownership in Town.

Town Staff typically notes the address of
any property or business owned by a new
Councilmember so that a map can be made
outlining the distance from their property
to determine if a Councilmember can vote
on issues within that area. Councilmembers
should read each staff report carefully
in order to identify potential conflicts of
interest. The final decision on whether to
participate in the consideration of an item
lies with each individual Councilmember.

If a member is aware of any basis for a
potential conflict or any would like to obtain
an opinion from the Fair Political Practices
Commission, they should contact the
Town Attorney as soon as possible. Please
be aware that violations of conflict of
interest laws, in severe cases, could result
in criminal and civil penalties. Accordingly,
it is advisable to stay vigilant and consult
with the Town Attorney as far in advance
as possible of any action that may raise
conflict of interest issues.

Role of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem
The Mayor acts as the Presiding Officer
at all Town Council meetings, and in the
absence of the Mayor the Mayor Pro
Tem will act as the Presiding Officer. The
Presiding Officer has all of the rights of a
Councilmember and may move, second,
debate, and vote. The Presiding Officer shall
not be deprived of any of the rights and
privileges of a Councilmember by reason of
acting as Presiding Officer. Specific duties
of the Presiding Officer include:

1. Restating of the Question. The Presiding
Officer may verbally restate each
motion prior to calling for the vote.

Following the vote, the Presiding Officer
shall announce whether the vote carried
or was defeated.

2. Maintaining Order and Decorum. The
Presiding Officer shall be responsible
for maintaining order and decorum
at all meetings. The Presiding Officer
shall also decide all questions of order
subject, however, to an appeal of
the Town Council.

3. Signing of Documents. The
Presiding Officer shall sign all
ordinances, resolutions, and other
documents requiring the Presiding
Officer’s signature adopted in his
or her presence, unless he or she is
unavailable. If the Presiding Officer
is unavailable, the alternate Presiding
Officer may sign such documents.

4. Appointments of Committees. The
Mayor may appoint such ad-hoc
committees of Councilmembers,
Town staff and private citizens, or a
combination thereof, as the Mayor
deems necessary and expedient to
assist and advise the Town Council in its
work.

Page 326 of 387 ends

6 Town of Mammoth Lakes – Guide to Town Council Processes and Procedures Appointment of Town Manager
and Town Attorney
The Town Council appoints two positions
within the Town organization: the Town
Manager and the Town Attorney. Both
positions serve at the will of the Town
Council. The Town Manager is an employee
of the Town and has an employment
agreement that specifies certain terms
of employment. The Town Attorney
is a contracted position governed by
an agreement for service. Except for
employees of the Town Council, the Town
Manager is responsible for all personnel
appointments within the Town.

Role During a Disaster
The Town Council has some special,
extraordinary powers in the case of a
disaster, including the ability to ease some
meeting restrictions and expenditure
controls in such extreme situations.

During an emergency, the Town Manager
has the authority to declare a local
emergency; such declaration must
then be formally ratified by the Town
Council. The Town Council also has the
independent authority to declare a local
emergency, with three affirmative votes,
at a properly noticed Council meeting.

Emergency proclamations are normally
made when there is an actual incident or
threat of disaster or extreme peril to the
safety of persons and property caused by
natural or man-made situations. The local
proclamation can be necessary or helpful to
activate eligible State and Federal disaster
relief programs that provide financial relief
to both local government and the public.

Appointments – Outside Agencies
Members of the Town Council represent
the Town on various boards, committees,
and commissions throughout the region,
including but not limited to the Eastern
Sierra Transit Authority (ESTA), Mammoth

Page 327 of 387 ends

Chapter 2: Town Council Powers and Responsibilities 7
Lakes Tourism (MLT), Mammoth Lakes
Recreation (MLR), Mammoth Lakes Housing
(MLH)/Eastern Sierra Community Housing,
the Local Transportation Commission (LTC),
the Eastern Sierra Council of Governments
(ESCOG), the Great Basin Unified Air
Pollution Control District (GBUAPCD),
and the Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO). Due to the number of
appointments and the need for alternates,
the appointments to the various agencies
are spread among the members of the Town
Council. Appointments are typically voted
on by the Town Council in December for the
following calendar year.

Appointments – Town Commissions
The Town has several commissions that
serve as advisory bodies to the Town
Council, and the Town Council is responsible
for appointing members to these bodies.

Applicants are appointed, re-appointed,
and subject to removal by the affirmative
vote of at least three Councilmembers.

Interested applicants seeking appointment
or re-appointment to an advisory body
must obtain and file the “Application for
Public Service Appointment” with the
Office of the Town Clerk. Applications
are only accepted during the recruitment
process for existing or imminent vacancies.

Applicants should become familiar with the
area of responsibility of the advisory body
and attend at least one meeting thereof
prior to interviewing with the Council.

The Town Council, or a subcommittee
thereof, typically interviews applicants for
appointment or re-appointment during a
study session, regular, or special meeting.

At the same or subsequent meeting, the
Town Council makes appointments by
publicly ranking the persons favored for
membership. Those applicants with the
highest overall rankings are appointed by
action of the Town Council. Applicants not
appointed will be notified.
“Two of the most basic components of a good life
are success in one’s work and the joy that comes
from serving one’s community. And … the two
are so closely intertwined that a person cannot
usually have one without having the other.”

Chapter 3: Town Council Meetings 9
Chapter 3: Town Council Meetings
General Procedures
The Town Council meeting rules and
procedures are set forth in Chapter 2.04 of
the Municipal Code.

Presiding Officer
The Mayor is the Presiding Officer and
acts as chair at Town Council meetings.

In the absence or incapacity of the
Mayor, the Mayor Pro Tem serves as the
Presiding Officer.

Seating Arrangement
The Mayor is seated in the middle of the
dais. The Mayor Pro Tem is seated to the
right of the Mayor on the dais. The Mayor
establishes the seating arrangement for
Town Council meetings. The seating is
typically updated each year when the Mayor
and Mayor Pro Tem are appointed.

Quorum
Three-fifths of the Councilmembers
constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business. Typically, a majority of the
Councilmembers present is needed to
approve an agenda item. Some items by law
require a four-fifths vote; these items will
be identified in the staff report and/or by
the Town Attorney.

Meeting Schedule
Regular Meeting Schedule. The Town
Council meeting schedule is established in
Municipal Code Section 2.04.010. Regular
meetings are held in the Town Council
Chamber on the first and third Wednesdays
of each month at 4:00 p.m.

Cancellations. Meetings may be canceled
from time to time as recommended by
staff and approved by the Town Council
depending upon agenda items, the
availability of staff, and/or a quorum of
Councilmembers.

Special Meetings. Special meetings may
be called at any time by the Mayor, or by
a majority of the entire Town Council, in
accordance with Section 54956 and any
other applicable sections of the Brown Act.

Meeting Notices
All meetings comply with the noticing
requirements of the Brown Act. Regular
meetings are required to be noticed (i.e., the
agenda must be published) at least 72 hours
in advance of the meeting. Special meetings
have a noticing requirement of 24 hours in
advance of the meeting.

Meeting Minutes
Action, summary minutes of each meeting
are taken by the Town Clerk or Assistant
Clerk. Action, summary minutes focus on
the actions taken by the Town Council with
brief descriptions given of comments from
the public. Following the Town Council’s
approval of the minutes, they are posted on
the Town’s website.

Methods of Receiving Public Input
In-person. The public may comment in
person on items appearing on the Town
Council agenda at a Town Council meeting.

Public comments are taken on every agenda
item generally after any staff presentation
and before Council deliberation. In addition,
each regular agenda includes a “Public
Comments” section, under which any
member of the public may address the Town
Council on items that do not appear on the
agenda but are within the jurisdiction of the

Page 330 of 387 ends

10 Town of Mammoth Lakes – Guide to Town Council Processes and Procedures Town Council. The limit for a member of the
public’s public comment is five minutes.

By Zoom. A member of the public watching
the Council meeting live by Zoom may
electronically raise their hand to give a
public comment during the public comment
periods. The clerk of the meeting will call
upon and unmute the individual so that they
may give their comments, and the same
time limit of five minutes will apply. After
the comments have been given, the clerk of
the meeting will then remove permission for
that member of the public to speak.

Email. After the agenda is published
and up to the start of the Town Council
meeting, members of the public may email
[email protected] to
give their public comments. The email will
be forwarded to the Town Council and
pertinent Town staff and will become a part
of the public record and posted online.

Councilmembers may receive direct
email messages from constituents or
interested parties about agenda items.

Any communication that is received by a
majority of the Town Council must be made
part of the public record without delay.

Councilmembers are requested to forward
such messages to the Town Clerk as soon as
possible to be added to the record.

Page 331 of 387 ends

11 Attendance
Councilmembers are expected to attend
all meetings of the Town Council in person.

In accordance with Government Code
Section 36513, if a Councilmember is absent
without permission from all regular Town
Council meetings for sixty (60) consecutive
days from the last regular meeting they
attend, their office becomes vacant
and shall be filled as any other vacancy.

Councilmembers shall notify the Mayor,
Town Manager, and/or Town Clerk if they are
going to be absent from a regular meeting,
and the Presiding Officer shall note such
excused absence for the record.

There are some instances where a
Councilmember may attend a meeting
from a remote location or by Zoom
but criteria must be met to allow those
instances. Councilmembers should check
with the Town Attorney to determine if
they meet the requirements for remote or
electronic attendance.

Agendas
The purpose of the agenda is to inform
members of the public of what will be
discussed at the meeting so they can
determine whether to monitor or participate
in the meeting. Agendas must meet certain
requirements, including a description of
each item of business to be discussed or
acted upon. Items cannot be added to the
agenda after the noticing periods unless an
“emergency” or “urgency” finding is made.

Placing Items on the Agenda
An agenda shall be prepared for each
regular meeting in accordance with Section
54954 and any other applicable sections of
the Brown Act. The agenda shall contain the
specific items of business to be transacted
and the order thereof. Items of business to
be heard in public may be placed on the
agenda by the Town Manager, the Town
Attorney, the Town Clerk, or a majority of
the Town Council. At a meeting of the Town
Council, a Councilmember may request
consensus of a majority of the Town Council
to place an item on a future agenda. Such
requests shall be submitted to the Town
Clerk on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Monday
one week prior to the regular meeting.

Items of business to be heard in closed
session may be submitted by any
Councilmember, the Town Manager, or
the Town Clerk to the Town Attorney for
review for compliance with the provisions
of the Brown Act, and the Town Clerk shall
place such items that comply with those
provisions on the closed session agenda.

Only certain topics may be discussed
at closed session. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, items of business
relating to personnel matters involving
performance review or discipline, dismissal,
or release of specific Town employees
shall only be placed on the closed session
agenda at the direction of the Town
Manager or upon the request of three
Councilmembers through the Town Clerk.

Emergency and Non-Agendized
Agenda Items
In most cases, the Town Council is
prohibited by State law from discussing
matters that are not on the agenda.

Discussion on non-agendized matters
usually needs to be delayed until the matter
can be properly noticed on an agenda.

Emergency and non-agendized items may
be added to an agenda only in accordance
with State law. Emergency items are only
those matters affecting public health or
safety such as work stoppages, disasters,
and other severe emergencies. Adding an
Chapter 3: Town Council Meetings

Page 332 of 387 ends

12 Town of Mammoth Lakes – Guide to Town Council Processes and Procedures emergency item requires a majority vote.

Emergency items are uncommon.

After the agenda is posted, a matter may
arise that the Town Council would like to act
on. Non-agendized items may be added to
the agenda only if the Town Council makes
findings that 1) the need to consider the
item arose after the posting of the agenda,
and 2) there is a need to take immediate
action at this meeting of the Town Council.

These findings must be approved by a fourfifths vote of the Town Council; if fewer than five members of the Town Council are
present, the findings require a unanimous
vote of those present.

Standard Documents Accompanying
Agenda Items
The Town Council agenda packet typically
follows a standard template of a staff
report for each agenda item for approval.

In addition to the staff report, items listed
below and other materials, such as maps,
pictures, letters, graphs, etc., may be
included in an agenda item.

Staff Report. A staff report typically
accompanies agenda items that require
action by the Town Council. The staff
report includes background information and
analysis for the Town Council and the public
to better understand the item and the
action that is being recommended. Other
components of the staff report include
fiscal and staffing considerations.

Ordinance. Ordinances are legislation
enacted by the Town. Adoption of an
ordinance is required to change the
Municipal Code and occasionally for some
other purposes. Ordinances are typically
presented to the Town Council to vote on a
first and second reading at two consecutive
Council meetings. Once adopted on second
reading, ordinances become effective
after 30 days, unless otherwise stated
in the ordinance.

Resolution. Resolutions are used to
memorialize a decision or position of the
Town Council. They are commonly used to
approve policies and other documents such
as grants, bonds, the purchase of property,
fee schedules, and assessment districts, as
well as approve and amend the budget.

Access to Agenda and Materials
The agenda and agenda packet are
published online and anyone wishing to
request notification of when an agenda is
published may do so through the Town’s
Notify Me subscription system located on
the Town’s website under News & Alerts.

Councilmembers can access the agenda
packet on their electronic devices using
the Escribe app, on the Town’s website,
or by requesting a paper copy from
the Town Clerk. Within the Escribe app,
Councilmembers can make notes on
specific items, highlight, underline, and
otherwise annotate attachments, as well
as view any additional attachments and
public comments that are received after the
agenda packet is initially published.

Order of Business
The typical order of the agenda is listed on
the next page with a description of each
section. As the Presiding Officer, with
consensus of the Town Council, the Mayor
may take items out of order.

Page 333 of 387 ends

Chapter 3: Town Council Meetings 13
Section Description
Call to Order
and Roll Call
After calling the meeting to order, the Mayor will ask the Town Clerk to call roll.

Pledge of
Allegiance
The Mayor will lead, or will ask another Councilmember or individual to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

Public
Comments
The public comment section provides the public with an opportunity to address the Council on any matter not listed on the agenda that is within the jurisdiction of the Town Council. In accordance with the Brown Act, the Town Council cannot take action on matters brought up under public comment.

The Town Council may refer a matter to staff, or a majority of the Council may request that an item be added to a future meeting agenda for discussion.

Additions to the
Agenda
This section allows the opportunity to add emergency and non-agendized items to the agenda subject to the rules noted above under the Emergency and Non-Agendized Agenda Items, and/or to take items out of order on the agenda.

Reports from
Commissions and/
or Departments
This section is the time for the Town Staff or members of the Town’s Commissions to give brief oral reports and updates.

Council
Presentations
Recognition, awards, and proclamations are given under this item.

Public
Presentations
The Council shall hear brief reports from community groups and public agencies.

Staff Presentation Work Program items, department updates, and presentations are given under this item.

Consent Agenda The consent agenda is a group of items that have been determined to be routine or otherwise not requiring special consideration or discussion. All consent items are considered for approval at the same time with one vote. A member of the Town Council, Town Staff, or a member of the public may request an item be removed from the consent agenda for individual consideration and discussion. Items removed from the consent agenda are discussed immediately following the vote on the remaining consent agenda items.

Public Hearings Public hearings are held on matters specifically required by law and must follow a specific process different from policy matters. Fees, grants, budget adoption, and zoning amendments are some examples of matters that are subject to public hearings. The Mayor will open the public hearing and then: Ask for a statement and presentation from staff. Ask for a statement or presentation from the property owner or appellant (if applicable). Ask for questions from the Town Council. Call for public comment. Allow for the rebuttal to previous testimony by the property owner or appellant (if applicable). The Mayor will then close the public hearing and the Town Council will deliberate and take action.

Page 334 of 387 ends

14 Town of Mammoth Lakes – Guide to Town Council Processes and Procedures Section Description
Policy Matters The Town Council shall consider and take action on new and old business and legislative matters that are not subject to a public hearing. Town Staff will typically make a presentation, which is followed by questions of the Town Council, public comment, and then Council deliberation and action.

Councilmember
Reports
This is the time for members of the Town Council to give brief oral reports on items of interest to them, including meetings they have attended or items they wish to have addressed in the future.

Closed Session Closed Session consists of items that are not discussed in front of the public.

Typically closed session is only attended by members of the Town Council, the Town Manager, any necessary support staff, and the Town Attorney.

Depending on the matter, outside legal counsel also may attend. The purpose of the closed session is to avoid revealing confidential information that may prejudice the legal or negotiating position of the Town or compromise the privacy interests of employees. Closed sessions may only be held as specifically authorized by law.

Allowable circumstances for closed session include:
• Conference with real property negotiators to discuss the purchase, sale, exchange, or lease of real property.
• Conference with legal counsel regarding litigation, including pending, significant exposure to, or initiation of litigation.
• Public employee appointment, performance evaluation, or discipline, dismissal, or release for the Town Manager or the Town Attorney. • Conference with labor negotiators.

State law prohibits the disclosure of closed session confidential information unless the Town Council authorizes disclosure of that confidential information.

Councilmembers, Town Staff, or anyone else present must not disclose to anyone, including affected/opposing parties, the press, and other Town Staff, the content or substance of any discussion which takes place in a closed session without Town Council authorization. Violation of State law regarding disclosing confidential information from closed session may result in disciplinary action against the disclosing party and, in severe cases, even criminal or civil penalties.

Adjournment The meeting shall be adjourned by order of the Presiding Officer.

Page 335 of 387 ends

Chapter 3: Town Council Meetings 15
Rules of Procedure
The Town Council should refer to
Rosenberg’s Rules of Order (attached) for
all questions regarding discussion rules,
motions, voting procedures, and decorum
during meetings. Courtesy and decorum
during meetings shall be enforced by the
Police Chief, or such member of the Police
Department that may be designated.

Quasi-judicial Proceedings
A quasi-judicial hearing is a special type of
public hearing. This type of hearing occurs
when: (a) a hearing is held to apply a rule or
standard to an individual person, project, or
circumstance; (b) it involves the taking of
evidence; (c) it results in the rendering of a
written decision issued by the Town Council
(including the adoption of findings); and (d)
the written decision is based on the facts
and arguments submitted at the hearing.

Typical quasi-judicial proceedings are
those in which a property owner makes
an application to the Town for a rezoning,
a special use permit, or variance. There
are specific rules and standards set
forth in the ordinances regarding these
matters that will be presented to the Town
Council at the hearing by Town Staff.

Town Councilmembers’ quasi-judicial
role is to apply these standards to the
facts presented at the public hearing
and to make a fair and equitable decision
based on such facts.

Quasi-judicial hearings are subject to due
process and other legal requirements.

One example of such a requirement is that
quasi-judicial decisions are supposed to be
made based upon evidence “in the record,”
not privately obtained information. The
Town Attorney will guide Councilmembers
through this disclosure process, and
other due process considerations, as
the need arises.

Open Meeting Laws (The Brown Act)
Operations and procedures of the
Town and Town Council incorporate
requirements of the State’s open meeting
law, commonly referred to as the Brown
Act. Because this law is such an important
part of local government operations,
some specific requirements of the law are
highlighted below.

The Town conducts its business in
compliance with the Ralph M. Brown Act,
California Government Code Section 54950
et seq. The intent of the Brown Act is to
ensure that deliberation and actions of local
public agencies are conducted openly and
at public meetings.

Applicability
The Brown Act applies to the Town
Council and all Town commissions, boards,
and Town Council-appointed “standing”
subcommittees. There is a limited exception
for Town Council subcommittees comprised
of no more than two Councilmembers,
with no outside parties, and with a limited
duration and scope. These are known as
exempt “ad-hoc” subcommittees.

Meetings
All Town Council meetings are required
to be open and public. A meeting is a
congregation of a majority of the members
of the Town Council at the same time and
place to hear, discuss, or deliberate an issue
in the subject matter jurisdiction of the
Town Council. Even if no action is taken,
a gathering may constitute a meeting.

This includes informal gatherings, with
or without public attendance or Town
sponsorship or meeting notice.

Page 336 of 387 ends

16 Town of Mammoth Lakes – Guide to Town Council Processes and Procedures The following situations would not be
considered a meeting if a majority of the
Town Council attends as long as: 1) matters
within the Town Council’s jurisdiction
are not discussed among members of
the Town Council, unless they are part
of the program; and 2) the meetings are
open to the public:
• Conference open to the public.
• Open and publicized meeting organized
to address a topic of local community
concern by a person or organization
other than the Town.
• Open, noticed meeting of another
meeting body of the Town or another
local agency.
• Social or ceremonial event.
• Open, noticed meeting of a standing
committee (members of the Town
Council who are not members of the
committee can attend but cannot
participate).
• Memoranda from Town Staff to all
Town Councilmembers (the memo will
typically be considered a disclosable
public record).
• Individual contacts or conversations
among fewer than a majority of the
members and a member of the public.

Although the above examples are generally
not considered meetings, the Town
Attorney should be consulted prior to a
majority of the Town Council attending any
such “non-meeting.” It is often advisable
to notice the meeting (which requires all
actions for a regular meeting, including an
agenda and minutes) or limit the attendance
to less than a majority of the members to
avoid even the appearance of a violation.

What to avoid:

1. Serial Meetings. The Brown Act
prohibits “serial meetings,” which are
a series of communications, each
involving less than a quorum, but which
taken as a whole involves a majority
of the Town Council. Serial meetings
are prohibited because they allow
government discussions and decisions
without the input or knowledge of
members of the public. Examples:
a. Daisy Chain: A chain of
communications (via phone, email, in
person, etc.) involving contact from
Member A to member B, who then
communicates with Member C would
constitute a serial meeting in the
case of a five-person meeting body.
“Alone we can do so little;
together we can do so much.”
Helen Keller

Page 337 of 387 ends

Chapter 3: Town Council Meetings 17
b. Hub-and-spoke: Whan a person
acts as the hub of a wheel
(Member A) and communicated
individually with the various spokes
(Members B and C) regarding a
matter under the jurisdiction of
the Town Council, a serial meeting
may have occurred. To create a
“meeting,” the communication
does not need to be in person and
can occur through a third party,
such as Town Staff. For example,
sending or forwarding email can be
sufficient to create a serial meeting,
as can a staff member polling the
Town Councilmembers in a way
that reveals the Councilmembers’
positions to one another.

2. Intermediary communications.

Communications between employees
or agents on behalf of a majority
of the members of a board or
commission is prohibited.

Example: A staff member emails or calls
a majority of the Town Council to ask for
approval to submit a grant application
and tells members that the other
members were in support.

3. Email, text message, or other electronic
communications with a majority
of members. A Councilmember
can inadvertently violate the Brown
Act by texting, “replying all” to an
email, or otherwise communicating
with two or more other members.

Councilmembers are advised to use
caution when communicating with each
other and seek advice from the Town
Attorney as necessary.

4. Social Media. Great care should be
taken in the use of social media. For
example, direct responses to any
communication on an internet-based
social media platform regarding a
matter that is within the legislative
body’s subject matter that is made,
posted, or shared by any other
member of the legislative body is now
prohibited under State law. This includes
comments or the use of “digital icons”
(e.g., Facebook’s like, love, haha, wow,
sad, and angry reactions) to express
a reaction to a communication from
another Town Councilmember.

In addition, especially where quasi-judicial
decisions are involved, any social media
indication that a Councilmember has
already made up their mind on a matter may
be viewed as a violation of an applicant’s
due process rights.

Public Disruptions
An individual or group creating serious,
ongoing disruption that makes the
continued, orderly conduct of the meeting
impossible may be asked or required to
leave. The press may remain unless they
participate in the disruption. The Town
Attorney should be consulted before any
action is taken.

Correspondence
All writings distributed for discussion or
consideration at a public meeting are public
records available for review by the public.

Other Provisions
The Brown Act provides many other
restrictions and requirements; this chapter
is intended merely as a Town Council
summary and overview, and nothing in
this Chapter supersedes the provisions
of the Brown Act. Please check with the
Town Attorney and/or the Town Clerk for
more information.

Chapter 4: Town Council Communications 19
Chapter 4: Town Council Communications
Overview
Communication with the public is a
fundamental role of the Town Council.

Assessing community opinions and needs
and communicating with staff to provide
policy direction and gain an understanding
of the implications of various policy
alternatives is important. The Town Council
acts as a body (acting based on the will
of the majority of Councilmembers as
opposed to individual members), therefore
it is important that general guidelines be
understood when speaking as a member of
the Town Council. Equally important, when
members are expressing personal views and
not those of the Town Council, the public
should be so advised.

Councilmember Correspondence
All correspondence in your capacity as
a Councilmember is a public record and
must be disclosed upon request and is
subject to the Town’s Records Retention
Policy and Schedules.

Speaking for the Town
When Councilmembers are requested
to speak to groups or are asked the
Town Council’s position on an issue, the
response should reflect the position of
the Town Council as a whole. Of course, a
Councilmember may clarify their vote on
a matter by stating, for example, “While
I voted against “X,” the Town Council
voted in support of it.” When representing
the Town at meetings or other venues,
it is important that those in attendance
gain an understanding of the Town
Council’s position rather than that of an
individual Councilmember.

State Legislation and Propositions
The Town has been a member of the
League of California Cities (Cal Cities)
for many years. In addition, the Town has
contracted with Emanuels Jones and
Associates to provide State legislative
advocacy and implementation of the Town
Council adopted Legislative Platform. Cal
Cities and Emanuels Jones and Associates
actively track legislation at the State level.

Either through the advisories received from
these two organizations or as a result of
the Town staff following key legislative bills
of importance to the Town, the Council
is at times requested to take a position
or an action on pending State legislation.

Proposed legislation will be analyzed with
the adopted Legislative Platform in mind
and forwarded to the Town Manager for
final consideration. Important legislation or
issues not addressed in the Town’s existing
Legislative Platform may be referred to the
full Town Council for consideration.

The Legislative Platform is attached.

Proclamations
Ceremonial proclamations are often
requested in recognition of an event or
individual. Proclamations are not statements
of policy but a form of special recognition.

As part of their ceremonial responsibilities,
the Mayor is charged with presentation
of the proclamation at the Town Council
meeting after which it has been approved
by the Town Council.

Chapter 5: Interactions with Town Staff 21
Chapter 5: Interactions with Town Staff
Overview
Town Staff are responsible for implementing
Town Council policies and priorities on a
daily basis; therefore, it is critical that the
relationship between Town Council and
Town Staff be well understood so that
policies and programs may be implemented
successfully. To maintain trust between
the Town Council and Town Staff, it is
important that roles and responsibilities are
clearly recognized.

Town Council-Town Manager Form of
Government
The Town of Mammoth Lakes is subject
to a Town Council-Town Manager form of
government. The Town Council appoints a
Town Manager to implement policy, enforce
laws in coordination with the Town Attorney,
direct the daily operations of Town
government, and prepare and monitor the
Town’s budget. The Town Council should
work through the Town Manager in dealing
with Town Staff unless simply requesting
information from department heads. The
Town Manager is responsible to the Town
Council as a body rather than to individual
Councilmembers.

Town Council-Town Manager
Relationship
The Town Manager is the executive officer
of the Town and has an employment
agreement with the Town Council. Regular
communication between the Town Council
and the Town Manager is important
in maintaining effective interpersonal
relations. All dealings with the Town
Manager, whether in public or private,
should be consistent with the authority
of the Town Manager in administrative
and personnel matters. Members of the
Town Council should avoid situations that
can result in Town Staff being directed,
intentionally or unintentionally, by one or
more Councilmember. The Town Council
evaluates the Town Manager’s performance
on an annual basis to ensure that both
the Town Council and Town Manager
are in agreement about organizational
performance, goals, and priorities.

The Town Manager respects that the
final responsibility for establishing the
policy direction of the Town is held by
the Town Council. The Town Manager
keeps the Town Council informed and that
occurs in various ways. In addition to the
formal Town Council meetings, there are
recurring briefing meetings with individual
Councilmembers, written memoranda, and
email. Communication must be undertaken
in such a way that all Councilmembers are
treated similarly and kept equally informed.

It is encouraged that the Town Council
provide ongoing feedback, information, and
perceptions to the Town Manager.

Town Council-Town Attorney
Relationship
The Town Attorney is the legal adviser for
the Town Council, Town Manager, Town
Clerk, and Town Staff. The general legal
responsibilities of the Town Attorney are
to: 1) provide legal assistance necessary
for formulation and implementation
of legislative policies and projects;
2) represent the Town’s interests, as
determined by the Town Council, in
litigation, administrative hearings,
negotiations, and similar proceedings; 3)
prepare ordinances, resolutions, contracts,
and other legal documents to best reflect
and implement the purposes for which

Page 342 of 387 ends

22 Town of Mammoth Lakes – Guide to Town Council Processes and Procedures they are prepared; and 4) keep the Town
Council and Staff apprised of court rulings
and legislation affecting the legal interests
of the Town. It is important to note that
the Town Attorney does not represent
individual Councilmembers, but the Town
organization as a whole.

Town Council-Town Clerk Relationship
The Town Clerk’s duties and responsibilities
are mandated by Municipal Code, Council
policy, and Federal and State statutes.

The general responsibilities of the
Town Clerk are to:
• Ensure the timely notice of Town
Council agendas.
• Record and maintain all legislative
proceedings of the Town Council.
• Maintain and preserve official Town
records.
• Serve as the Town’s Elections Official.
• Support board and commission
members and staff liaisons.
• Ensure public access to Town
government though the support of
public participation in public meetings,
opportunities for service in an elected
or appointed position, and access
to Town records.

Page 343 of 387 ends

23 Roles and Information Flow
Objectives: It is the intent of Staff to ensure
Councilmembers have easy access to
information from the Town and to ensure
that such information is communicated
completely, with truth and without bias.

Individual Councilmembers may not
intervene in Staff decision-making, the
development of Staff recommendations,
scheduling of work, or executing
department priorities. This is necessary to
protect Staff from undue influence and
pressure from individual Councilmembers,
to allow Staff to execute the priorities given
by management and the Town Council as a
whole without fear of reprisal, and to ensure
that Town Council is directing policy and
not individual work programs.

Town Council Roles: The full Town Council
retains the power to accept, reject, amend,
influence, or otherwise guide and direct
service levels, departmental priorities,
and the performance of Town business.

Councilmembers who wish to influence
the decisions and priorities of Staff must
act through their participation in public
Town Council meeting deliberations
and actions. Should a Councilmember
become dissatisfied about a department
or any Town Staff, they should inform
the Town Manager.

Access to Information: Individual
Councilmembers as well as the Town
Council as a whole shall receive the full
cooperation of Staff in being provided
with any requested information. The
Town Manager or appropriate Staff will
inform Council when a critical or unusual
event occurs about which the public
would be concerned.

There are limited instances when
information cannot be provided. Draft
documents under review are not available
for release until complete and after
review by the Town Manager and the
Town Attorney. In addition, there are
legal restrictions on the Town’s ability
to release certain personnel information
even to members of the Town Council.

Certain aspects of Police Department
affairs also are not available to members of
the Town Council.

Meeting Preparation: Councilmembers
have a responsibility in this information flow
as well. It is critical that they make use of
the staff reports and support documents
provided. Councilmembers should come
to meetings well prepared – having
read staff reports and attachments and
requesting any available information from
Staff in advance.

Councilmembers with questions on an
agenda item should contact the Town
Manager before the meeting in order to
allow Staff members time to research a
response for the meeting. Any legal issues
or concerns Councilmembers may have in
advance of Council meetings, ideally also
should be brought to the Town Attorney’s
attention prior to the meeting as some
legal issues are complex and may need
research, and others may not be suitable for
discussion in public.

Staff Roles: The Town Council recognizes
the primary functions of Staff as serving
the community, executing Town Council
policy and actions, and in keeping the Town
Council informed. Town Staff shall make
recommendations to the Town Council.

Staff is obligated to take guidance and
direction only from the Town Council as a
whole or from the appropriate management
supervisors through the Town Manager.

Chapter 5: Interactions with Town Staff

Page 345 of 387 ends

Chapter 5: Interactions with Town Staff 25
Staff are directed to report to the Town
Manager any attempts by individual
Councilmembers to unduly direct or
otherwise pressure then into making,
changing, or otherwise influencing
decisions or work program.

Town Staff will make every effort to
respond in a timely and professional
manner to all requests made by individual
Councilmembers for information or
assistance. The Town Manager may
determine that the magnitude of the
request for information, either in terms
of workload or policy, would be more
appropriately assigned to Staff through the
direction of the full Town Council.

Information Distribution
In cases where a Staff response to an
individual Councilmember request involves
written materials that may be of interest
to other Councilmembers, the Town
Manager, Town Clerk, or Town Attorney
will provide copies of the material to all
other Councilmembers. In making this
judgement, the Town Manager, Town Clerk,
or Town Attorney will consider whether the
information is significant, new, otherwise
not available to the Town Council, or of
interest to the Town Council.

Magnitude of Information Requests
Any information, service-related request,
or revised policy position perceived as
necessary by individual Councilmembers,
and that cannot be fulfilled based on the
above guidelines, should be submitted by
the individual Councilmember to the Town
Council at a Town Council meeting, so that
the full Town Council can decide whether
and when to agendize the request for
further consideration. The Town Manager
will seek necessary clarification as to
whether the Town Council desired staff
research or a report prepared; and, if so,
the relative priority that should be given to
such a request in light of other priorities and
potential workload impacts.

Restrictions on Political Involvement
by Town Staff
Local governments are non-partisan
entities. Professional Staff, as reflected in
the Council/ Manager form of government,
formulate recommendations in compliance
with Town Council policy and for the good
of the community and are not influenced
by political factors. For this reason, it is very
important to understand the restrictions of
Staff in any level of political involvement. It
is important to balance the Constitutional
rights of employees as individuals with
limitations on political activity in the
workplace as established by California law.

No participation in campaigns or other
activities may take place while on the
job. No Town resource may be used by
Staff in support of any campaign. Even
while off the job, no employee may
participate in campaign or other activities
in a Town uniform. For example, posing
for a promotional photograph for a
candidate for local office while in uniform
is inappropriate and may result in discipline.

A Councilmember asking Staff to sign
petitions or similar items can similarly create
an awkward or compromising situation and
should be avoided.

Email and Mail
Members of the Town Council are provided
with a Town email address and are advised
to use the Town email address to conduct
Town business. Councilmembers will
receive mail and other material from the
public, private interests, and Staff and the
Town Clerk will distribute that mail to the
members of the Town Council.

Chapter 6: Financial Matters 27
Chapter 6: Financial Matters
Town Council Compensation and
Benefits
Beginning at the start of their term of
office, members of the Town Council shall
receive $1,029 per month. Councilmembers
are eligible for participation in a Cafeteria
Benefit Plan that includes medical, dental,
vision, and life insurance plans available
to Town employees. Councilmembers
shall receive travel reimbursements for
authorized travel and other expenses when
on official duty outside of the Town.

Annual Adopted Budget
The Town’s annual budget is a policy
document, financial plan, operations
guide, and communication device all in
one. The annual Town budget provides
a description of Town services and the
resources used to provide those services.

The document contains a broad overview
of the budget as well as descriptions of
programs and services. The Town operates
on a July 1 through June 30 fiscal year.

The annual budget is adopted by the Town
Council by resolution, and amendments
to the adopted budget are also made by
resolution. The Town’s annual budget is
available on the Town’s website under the
Finance Department.

The General Fund budget, which funds
the day-to-day operations of most Town
services, is required to be balanced, with
budgeted expenditures equal to or less than
budgeted revenues, plus other available
sources. This means that annual budgeted
revenues determine the resources available
to be spent on General Fund operations
for a given year.

The other funds portion of the budget is
made up of different Town funding sources,
major categories include Solid Waste, Gas
Tax Fund, Airport Fund, Capital Projects
Fund, Measure R & U Funds, Development
Impact Fees Fund, Assessment District
Funds, Vehicle Replacement Fund, and Debt
Service. Due to various legal restrictions,
these funds are limited in their uses and
generally cannot be applied to fund dayto-day operations. “The greatness of a community is most
accurately measured by the compassionate
actions of its members.”

Chapter 6: Financial Matters 29
Annual Budget Process
The Town’s annual budget is created in
conjunction with Town Council, Town Staff,
and Town residents. The budget process
begins each year with the development of
the preliminary base budget in March/April
and is completed with a public hearing and
the Town Council adoption of the budget
in June. The budget development process
provides Town departments the opportunity
to recommend budget adjustments based
on department requests and/or one-time
funding requests. Requests are reviewed
and may be included in the Town Manager
Proposed Budget.

At any meeting after the adoption of the
budget, the Town Council may amend the
budget by a majority vote. Throughout
the year, the Finance Director provides
the Town Council with quarterly financial
status reports comparing expenditure and
revenue projections to budgeted amounts,
highlighting variances and recommending
corrective actions as necessary.

The Town’s annual budget includes limited
funding for members to undertake official
Town business. Examples of authorized
expenses include travel for attendance
at conferences or educational seminars.

Personal expenses, expenses associated
with political activity, or donations are not
allowed. It is important to note that any
expense must be related to Town authorized
business. California law prohibits Town
Councilmembers, other elected officials,
appointed officials, employees, and
contractors from using Town resources for
personal or political purposes.

Town Attorney Advice
The Town Attorney has an affirmative duty
to protect the Town and Town Council
from conflicts of interest wherever
possible. It is critical to note that while
the Town Attorney can render advice
on the interpretation of State laws and
regulations on conflict matters, such
advice is solely an interpretation of the
law. The only authority that can provide
binding interpretations on such matters
is the Fair Political Practices Commission
(FPPC). Individual Councilmembers or the
full Town Council may also solicit opinions
on such matters directly from the FPPC;
however, such opinions often take time
to develop and may not readily respond
to urgent matters. It is important to note
that the Town Attorney does not represent
individual Councilmembers, but the Town
organization as a whole.

Liability
The Town is a municipality offering a variety
of services and may occasionally find itself
subject to legal action through lawsuits.

For example, those involved in automobile
accidents sometimes choose to take actions
against a town since the accident occurred
on a town roadway. The Town must always
approach its responsibilities in a manner
that reduces risk to all involved; however,
with such a wide variety of high-profile
services, all risk cannot be eliminated. The
Town belongs to an insurance pool, the
California Joint Powers Insurance Authority
(CJPIA), with other government agencies to
manage insurance and risk activities.

It is important to note that violations of
certain laws and regulations by individual
Councilmembers may result in that
Councilmember being personally liable for
damages that would not be covered by the
Town’s insurance. Examples may include
discrimination, harassment, or fraud.

Chapter 7: Advisory Bodies 31
Chapter 7: Advisory Bodies
Background
Advisory bodies are important in that they
enable residents to participate in the Town’s
government processes. Their activities help
shape and influence public policy because
they lend a more diverse viewpoint for the
Town Council to consider.

The Town has three advisory bodies
appointed by the Town Council: the
Planning and Economic Development
Commission, the Parks and Recreation
Commission, and the Building Advisory
Committee/Board of Appeals. The purpose
and duties of each advisory body can be
found in the Town’s Municipal Code. The
terms of office are for four years, and most
members are required to be Town residents.

Appointment Process
Each person seeking appointment or reappointment to an advisory body must obtain and file the “Application for Public
Service Appointment” with the Town
Clerk. Applications are only accepted
during the recruitment process for
existing or imminent vacancies. Applicants
should become familiar with the area of
responsibility of the advisory body and
attend at least one meeting thereof prior
to interviewing with the Town Council. The
Town Council typically interviews applicants
during a regular or special meeting and
makes appointments at that same meeting.

The Town Council makes appointments by
publicly ranking the persons favored for
membership and those applicants with the
highest overall rankings are appointed by
action of the Town Council. Applicants not
appointed will be so advised.

Administration
The Town Manager designates a staff
liaison to each advisory body to assist
them in carrying out the duties assigned
by the Town Council. Advisory body
members do not have the authority to
direct Town employees or the conduct
of any department. While staff may work
closely with commissions and committees,
staff members remain responsible to their
“A community is like a ship; everyone
ought to be prepared to take the helm.”
Henrik Ibsen

Page 352 of 387 ends

32 Town of Mammoth Lakes – Guide to Town Council Processes and Procedures immediate supervisors and ultimately
the Town Manager. The members of
the advisory bodies are responsible for
carrying out the duties assigned to them by
the Town Council.

Staff support includes preparation and
posting of the agenda and taking action,
summary minutes for each meeting.

The Town Clerk’s office manages
the application process, facilitates
appointments and re-appointments, notifies
members of required training and filing, and
provides support for staff liaisons.

Advisory Body Meetings
Agendas for each advisory body meeting
are required to be posted in accordance
with the Brown Act, like Town Council
meetings. Agendas and minutes for
upcoming and recent meetings are
published on the Town’s website. Advisory
bodies use similar rules and procedures
that the Town Council uses when holding
their meetings.

Relationships with the Town Council
The Town Council is the elected legislative
body of the Town and is responsible for
making all policy decisions. The Town
Council relies on the input of advisory
bodies to increase the variety of viewpoints
represented on Town issues; however, it
is the Town Council’s role to consider the
broader context and weigh the tradeoffs
involved in a particular policy decision.

Consequently, the Town Council may
accept, reject, or modify recommendations
made by Town advisory bodies.

Chapter 8: Town Records 33
Chapter 8: Town Records
General
The California Public Records Act (PRA)
was passed by the legislature in 1968
and was modeled after the Federal
Freedom of Information Act. The PRA
details what government information
is and is not available to the public. The
law defines a “record” as: “any writing
containing information relating to the
conduct of the public’s business prepared,
owned, used, or retained by a state or
local agency regardless of physical form
or characteristics.” Records include
paper documents, email messages, text
messages, and other physical and electronic
information relating to Town business. In
general, all records are open and available
to any requester, except certain records
that are specifically exempted. Exempted
records include, but are not limited to,
personnel and medical files, certain records
related to litigation until the case concludes,
and certain information related to a
police investigation.

The vast majority of the Town’s documents
and records are disclosable to the public.

Public Records Requests
Any individual can request access to Town
records. The Town Clerk’s office processes
requests for all Town departments,
except the Police Department, which
handles its own requests. Under State
law, the Town has 10 days to respond to
a request and provide the records in a
timely manner. When processing requests
for records, the Town Clerk will work with
necessary departments to gather the
requested records.

The Town Clerk and Town Attorney review
the records to determine which records
are responsive to the specific request and
may redact certain information. Personal
information, such as an address, email
address, phone number, or information
related to a juvenile, is redacted before the
records are released.
“Teamwork is the ability to work together
toward a common vision. The ability
to direct individual accomplishments
toward organizational objectives. It
is the fuel that allows common people
to attain uncommon results.”
Andrew Carnegie

34 Town of Mammoth Lakes – Guide to Town Council Processes and Procedures Use of Personal Accounts and Devices
In 2017, the California Supreme Court, in a
case known as City of San Jose v. Superior
Court of Santa Clara County (Smith), held
that “when a city employee uses a personal
account to communicate about the conduct
of public business, the writings may be
subject to disclosure under the California
Public Records Act.” Town records on
personal accounts and devices may include,
but are not limited to, communications
related to Town business via text message,
personal email accounts, and social media
accounts. Town Councilmembers are issued
an official Town email and should use
that email, instead of their personal email,
when communicating Town business. If
Town business is conducted on a personal
account, all records should be emailed to
the Town email account so that they can be
kept in accordance with the Town’s records
retention practices.

Locating Common Records Online
Frequently requested records are
available on the Town website at www.
townofmammothlakes.ca.gov including
Town Council and advisory body agenda
packets, minutes, and recordings
of the meetings.

Records Retention
Federal and State law dictates the minimum
length of time the Town must retain records;
however, in some cases, the Town may
decide to keep certain records longer than
required because they provide historical or
other value. This requirement applies to all
Town records, including those created or
kept by the Town Council. The Town Council
has adopted a records retention schedule,
which describes the minimum period of
time the Town must retain its records,
accounting for legal requirements and the
Town’s preference. Retention periods range
from two years to indefinite or permanent,
depending on the type of record.

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Title: Award Contract for Frontage Road Snow Trucking to Chuck Villar Construction, Inc.

Meeting Date: December 4, 2024
Prepared by: Colin Brownlee, Assistant Engineer
Amy Callanan, PE, Engineering Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend the Town Council:

1. Award the contract for Frontage Road Snow Trucking to Chuck Villar Construction, Inc, based on the submitted hourly rates and in an amount not to exceed $100,000 per year without written authorization.

2. Authorize the Public Works Director to finalize contract negotiations, execute the contract, and accept the work upon completion.

3. Authorize the Public Works Director to review and approve contract revisions to complete the work, up to an additional 25% of the awarded annual not-to-exceed amount.

BACKGROUND:

The Town provides snow removal services along both South and North Main Street (SR 203) Frontage Roads. Along the scope of this work, Caltrans Right-of-Way abuts the Frontage Road, providing little to no snow storage. The lack of snow storage was exacerbated by the construction of the Main Street Sidewalks in 2017-2019. The sidewalks provide vital pedestrian access to the main corridor of Town, while the Frontage Roads and adjacent public parking stalls provide key vehicle access and parking opportunities for many businesses. Neither the sidewalk nor the parking stalls should be abandoned seasonally to create snow storage and therefore it is necessary to truck the snow. However, the Town Road Crew has neither the trucks required nor the time available to consistently truck snow as required.

ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:

This scope of work is not considered a ‘public work’ under the Public Contract Code of California and therefore does not require a formal bidding process. However, an informal bid was solicited from four local contractors. The Town received three responses from contractors, one of whom chose not to provide a bid and two submitted competitive bids.

Page 358 of 387 ends

2 These responses fulfill the requirements of the Town’s Purchasing Ordinance. Bids were evaluated based on past project experience, equipment availability, and a schedule of services. Chuck Villar Construction, Inc was selected as the top choice due to their competitive pricing and near decade of experience doing this scope of work. They have been highly effective in past years and are efficient in completing the work.

STAFFING CONSIDERATIONS:

Public Works staff will manage the contract and level of service. The work is included in the Fiscal Year 2024/25 staff work program.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Snow removal operations are funded by a variety of sources, including:
 Town general fund contributions
 Town gas taxes
The cost of these services for the 2023/2024 FY was approximately $110,000.00

1 TOWN COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Subject: Town Council Strategic Priorities and Key Objectives Statement Review Meeting Date: December 4, 2024
Written by: Rob Patterson, Town Manager
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive a presentation from staff regarding the Town Council Strategic Priorities and Key Objectives Statement adopted on December 20, 2023, and provide consensus comments or direction to staff.

BACKGROUND:

On November 6, 2024, the Town Council began the Strategic Planning Series with the goal of adopting a one-page statement defining the Council’s Strategic Priorities and Key Objectives for 2025.

The order and outline of the planned Strategic Planning Series are as follows:
 November 6, 2024 - Overview of Strategic Planning Series and review of public comments received from the Town’s 40th Anniversary Visioning Exercise  November 20, 2024 - Town Core Services Update
 December 4, 2024 - Review 2023 Town Council Strategic Priorities and Key Objectives
 December 18, 2024 - Presentation and review of large policy items  January 22, 2025 - Strategic Planning Workshop to discuss and determine 2025 strategic priorities.

The first session of the Strategic Planning Series was the review of public comments received at the Town’s 40th Anniversary as part of the Town’s visioning exercise on November 6 where the Council provided comments and recommendations to staff. The visioning exercise was an opportunity for our community to engage directly with the subject matter experts on a range of topics. The discussion topics included Town Economy, Housing and Development, Mobility and Transportation, Parks, Recreation and Trails, Public Safety, Environment and Sustainability, and Land Use and Development. The comments received in this informal process provided a general direction on community thoughts and desires. This information can serve to inform the Town Council on the development of their next strategic priorities and key initiatives.

The second session was a review of the Town’s Core Services on November 20. This session included a detailed overview of the various categories of services, defined as mandated, essential, or important. As the name suggests, mandated services are required by State and/or local laws and policies. Essential services are not legally required but are critical to the operation of the Town and quality of life for its residents. Important services are additional services provided by Town staff that work to support the type of community

Page 372 of 387 ends

2 that we want to provide for our residents and visitors. While change is not required, the important category is the space where decisions can be made to adjust and improve our delivery of core products and services. A detailed list of services in each category was provided for review and general understanding. The other aspect of the presentation was to discuss staff capacity. The Town provides staffing to address the items identified in core services and provides little room for additional work plans outside of those items. While there is some capacity, staff resources often are the limiting factor in what new tasks or projects can be assigned. With that in mind, we must review areas of focus to ensure we are on the right track to accomplish what is needed. The development of strategic priorities and key objectives serves this function.

In this report, Staff have prepared a review of the elements of the “one-page” document that provides these key guidelines. The design of the document can and will likely change with this next process. However, the simplicity of the one-page format should remain as it serves as a quick reference to Staff and the Town Council. This report also provides a summary of the existing priorities, and the work accomplished within the last year. This is not an exhaustive list of work performed but serves to illustrate how the key objectives serve to shape and guide the Town’s work plans. The day-to-day core operations of the Town consume 85% to 90% of staff time and financial resources. This work does overlap with Council priorities, which often emphasizes or expands on core services.

ANALYSIS:

The document has an overarching theme that serves as a short-term vision statement. This vision statement is tailored to reflect the proposed updated priorities and associated objectives. It is intended to reflect the near-term efforts of the Town Council. Incremental success with the near-term priorities ultimately moves the Town closer to fulling the broader vision as stated in the General Plan. The following is the short-term vision statement in the current document.

SHORT TERM VISION: “Investing in Our Community Quality of Life, through Economic, Environmental, and Financial Sustainability”
As the Town Council works through this update of strategic priorities, a new statement will be developed that captures the collective focus of the strategic priority elements.

As stated above, the simplicity of the document is the key to our success. While we would like to accomplish everything that the community desires, a narrow set of priorities helps to create a sharper focus, generally leading to better accomplishment of the goal. There are four strategic priorities, and four specific tasks identified in the current document. The following Strategic Priority statements were made to reflect these four areas which have dominated much of the Council and community conversation over the past couple of years.

The set of Key Objectives also reflects current work programs and areas of investment that have been discussed or directed by Council. Several projects and programs are in place and the focus provided in the proposed statements gives staff direction for implementation of specific tasks and actions. Below is a review of those elements, combined with examples of how they were achieved in the prior year.

Page 373 of 387 ends

3 Strategic Priority: Investment in Community Focused Projects  Continue implementation of the Town’s Housing Now! Initiative programs to deliver a mix of community housing opportunities (e.g., ‘missing middle’ and Parcel Phase 2).

The Housing Now! initiative in Mammoth Lakes recognizes that everyone who lives in Mammoth Lakes, no matter their income, is an important part of the community. Without employees in our service industry, our tourism-driven town would cease to exist.

With this in mind and through the Housing Now! initiative, the Town is creating an additional 184 affordable rental apartments through partnership projects with Eastern Sierra Community Housing (ESCH), as well as The Parcel project with Pacific.

The Sawyer, or Phase I of the Parcel, is completed and currently housing local households earning between 30% - 80% AMI (equates to $23K - $60K for a household of two). The Kingfisher, or Phase II of The Parcel, is under construction with a target completion date of fall 2026. It will also be available to households earning between 30%-80% AMI.

Together, these two phases will provide 156 affordable rental units, plus two manager’s units.

The Access Apartments project, located at 238 Sierra Manor Road, is an adaptive reuse project being developed by ESCH that will provide 13 affordable, 1-bedroom units. Seven of the units will be for households earning up to 80% AMI (equates to $52K for a household of one) and six of the units will be for households earning up to 120% AMI (equates to $89K for a household of one). The project has a target completion date of fall 2025 and will be owned and operated by ESCH upon completion.

The Innsbruck Lodge Affordable Housing development, located at 913 Forest Trail, is part of Homekey, a State-funded program that is intended to assist those who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless. It will provide 15 affordable studio and 1-bedroom units (plus one manager’s unit) for households earning up to 80% AMI (equates to $52K for a household of one). ESCH is the developer, owner, and future operator of the project. Six of the units were completed in May 2024 and the remaining units will be completed in early 2025.

The Town is committed to these important projects, which will add to the existing inventory of approximately 150 affordable rental apartments that currently exist throughout the community. Additional information regarding the Housing Now! Program can be viewed online: https://www.townofmammothlakes.ca.gov/1185/Housing-Now  Complete community facilities to enhance programs and services including, community recreation center, performing arts venues, childcare, and parks.

Community Recreation Center (CRC)
After starting the preliminary design and environmental review of the Community Recreation Center (CRC) on October 21, 2015, eight years later, Phase I of the CRC officially opened to the public on “Ice Friday,” November 24, 2023. Town Council on October 2, 2024, authorized the Town Manager to execute a settlement agreement with

Page 374 of 387 ends

4 Hamel Construction and authorized the Town Manager to use Capital Reserves to Closeout current phases of the CRC. In addition, Town Council authorized the Town Manager to award the Phase II contract to Lehman Construction Inc for $968,098. The total value of the improvements is $1,846,413. The CRC has been a game changer for the community - in its first full year of operations, the CRC has seen approximately 40,000 visits.

Performing Arts Venues
Progress has been made with performing arts venues that includes the rehabilitation of the Edison Theatre and the progression of the Mammoth Arts and Cultural Center (MACC).

The first phase includes an interior remodel of the existing footprint of Edison Theatre. The second phase includes the construction of the new 250 seat performing arts auditorium.

The first phase has been designed to support the expanded second phase but may function as a standalone facility if the larger new construction were not to proceed. The first phase of the project will be managed by the Foundation as a private project independent of public funding. The second phase of the project would be a public works project managed by the Town on behalf of the Mammoth Lakes Foundation. The concept plans have gone through several iterations over several years. Aligning the scope of the project with realistic funding availability has been challenging. The location for the MACC is on property (Approx. 8 acres) owned by the Mammoth Lakes Foundation (MLF). Over the past year, Town staff have been engaged with the Mammoth Lakes Foundation to evaluate options to achieve a viable project and take advantage of new opportunities. At the present time, the project is under review and consideration by the Department of the State Architecture (DSA). Town Council recently allocated additional funding for the approximate $15.5 million project.

The Town and MLF have generally come to terms on the sale of the facility and surrounding lands. MLF would dedicate a portion of these proceeds to complete the MACC project. The current plan would ultimately result in Town ownership and operation of the facility. Funding sources for the new Performing Arts Auditorium project include Measure U Capital funding reserves of $4.5 M, $3M MLF contribution, Kern Community College District (local bond measure) funding of $7,500,000, and private donations.

Childcare
Several factors have come together creating an opportunity to provide expanded childcare services on the Mammoth Lakes Foundation site. The need for expanded childcare and early child education services has been expressed by individuals, businesses, and local service agencies. The 2022 Mono County Childcare Council Needs Assessment identified a need of more than 700 spaces in the County, with more than half of the need in Mammoth Lakes. Town and Mammoth Unified School District (MUSD) reached an agreement allowing the Town to repurpose six (6) of the portable classrooms that were to be disposed of by MUSD as part of the High School Remodel. The plan is to provide space for infants and toddlers in a space designed with 75+/- spaces. A contract to complete the project was awarded in April 2024 and work is expected to be completed this year or early, 2025.

The Town also assisted the Mono County Office of Education (MCOE) with the design and construction of the dedicated 2–5-year-old playground and play space at The Park at the Parcel. This project is largely complete with planned operations opening this winter.

Page 375 of 387 ends

5 Park Projects
The Town completed several park projects in 2024. These included the Park at the Parcel, Community Dog Park, Whitmore Recreation Ball Field #3 rehabilitation project, and the Whitmore Park Track and Turf Maintenance Project, with the rehabilitation of Mammoth Creek Park planned to be complete in the summer of 2025.

The Park at the Parcel officially opened to the public on August 7, 2024. The Park at the Parcel was designed to meet two unmet community needs. The first was to build an exclusive playground to allow our partners, Mono County Office of Education (MCOE), to provide childcare to the many working families who will reside in the affordable housing project. The second need was to build a family park in the center of Town accessible to not only residents living at The Parcel, but the many neighborhoods that surround the park.

The park area is just under an acre in size and includes a playground for 2–5-year-olds enrolled in childcare, and a family park incorporating a 5-12 year old Play On!® National Demonstration Site (NDS) playground. The NDS playground also includes a domed climbing net, group spinner and arch swing that combined, promotes the six key elements of play: balancing, sliding, brachiating, spinning, climbing, and swinging. A distinctive Pour in Place (PIP) safety surface was selected for its durability and accessibility for children and adults of all abilities. The distinctive surface meets accessibility standards set forth by ADA guidelines, has less routine maintenance required for compliance and is customized on site to meet the play equipment’s unique fall height requirements.

A prominent feature of the family park is the 20’x20’ shelter complemented by two large concrete ADA picnic tables. An all-gender restroom is located at the entrance to the park, adjacent to the bus shelter, and incorporates a wall-mounted water fountain and bottlefilling station. Other Park elements include amphitheater seating, an open synthetic turf play area and concrete pathways for convenient access throughout the park site. Bike racks and a park identification sign (coming soon) welcome visitors to the Park. Multiple funding sources contributed to the completion of the park, including the Town’s General Fund, Development Impact Fees (DIF), and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program funds. In 2022, the Town of Mammoth Lakes also received funding from GameTime as part of the 2022 CPRS Statewide Training and Funding Initiative to build and operate a second National Demonstration Site (NDS) playground in Mammoth Lakes.

The Town, partnering with the Mammoth Lakes Foundation, identified a suitable location at the intersection of College Parkway and Wagon Wheel Road for the first off-leash area for dogs in Mammoth Lakes. The Town received a $50,000 T-Mobile grant in 2021 and previously allocated an additional $150,000 for a dog park. The land adjacent to the dog park was identified to host an expanded parking area, restrooms and other amenities. This infrastructure will support other uses such as the Theatre, MUPs, future amphitheater space and long-term housing. Construction began in 2023, and Town Council officially opened the dog park on November 6, 2024. Total project cost was approximately $950,000.

To complement all the improvements made at the CRC, the Town Council allocated funding to rehabilitate Mammoth Creek Park. Improvements include a large, prefabricated

Page 376 of 387 ends

6 climbing boulder, a planned 20x30 pavilion, shade structures, replacement of the large grass area with irrigation (complete), additional landscaping for screening, and bouldering park with fall protection. Total Budget is $500,000, however additional funding will be required to complete the enhancements to the park.

Constructed in 2012, the Whitmore Track and sports field has been incredibly popular and heavily used since it opened to the public. Between 2017 and 2021, there were 194,000 visits to Whitmore Recreation Area (a 460% increase in visits over 5 years), representing almost 13,000 unique people. On average, visitors returned 15 times throughout the 5-year timespan with an average length of stay of 108 minutes. The rehabilitation project conducted in 2024 cleaned and restriped the track surface along with several patches to the rubber surface and synthetic turf. Both surfaces will need full replacement in the upcoming years. Total investment was $100,000.
 Implement connections and development of “mobility hubs” – including EV stations, Restrooms, & MUPs, transit, & trail connectivity with added amenities (Walk, Bike, Ride Concepts).

The mobility hub opened at the Community Recreation Center (CRC) with parking for up to 118 vehicles along with 12 Tesla Superchargers and 2 Type II vehicle chargers. A transit shelter was also installed on Old Mammoth Road accommodating guests on the Townwide transit system. Recently, six solar parking lot signs were installed providing shielded safety lights for guests at night. Total investment was approximately $1.7 million.  Finalize design for new broadband infrastructure deployment.

The Town has been engaged with Golden State Connect Authority (GSCA) on a grant funded project for middle-mile fiber installation. This process has been progressing through the year with the identification of potential node sites to support infrastructure. In October, staff was notified that the County and Town of Mammoth Lakes received the CPUC Local Agency Technical Assistance award to deliver an open access, last mile, municipal network with the Town. This is a vital project for our community, and we look forward to completion in 2025.

Strategic Priority: Enhance Sustainability & Diversity of Local Businesses & Tourism Economy
 Partner on amenities on federal lands to enhance visitor & resident experiences with improved recreational access points with parking, signage, trash service & restrooms.

With both winter and summer recreational use rising in the Sherwins, the Town and Mammoth Lakes Recreation are implementing improvements in the area to help protect resources and provide an enhanced user experience. The creation of the new and improved Sherwin Meadows Trailhead is underway and will provide infrastructure for recreationists

Page 377 of 387 ends

7 and their four-legged friends. Restrooms, trash facilities, a bike tool station, interpretive and wayfinding signage, a bear box, a poo fairy station, and an avalanche beacon checker will all be available. The Sherwin Meadows Trailhead will be open year-round, except during heavy snowstorms, when the newly installed winter gate on Sherwin Creek Road, just past Sierra Meadows Ranch, will be closed.
 Invest in beautification of primary business frontages and supporting services (i.e., animation, parking, snow management & associated Downtown Revitalization Concepts).

The Main Street Landscaping project was completed this fall and included installation of irrigation facilities, light earthwork, and in-ground planting of native drought-tolerant trees and plants on both sides of Main Street between Mountain Boulevard to just east of the Main Street-Old Mammoth Road intersection. Total investment: $737,477.20.

The Town Council allocated funding ($145,000) in 2024 to animate the Town during our busy winter season. Phase I of the project included the animation of the two Town monument signs with garlands, LED warm white lights and small spotlights for enhanced visibility. The two trees at the corner of Old Mammoth Road and Main Street (Footloose Sports) were also rehabilitated and will provide festive winter animation for several years to come.

After a long hiatus, the Town’s Community Tree Lighting Ceremony will return to Mammoth Creek Park on Friday, December 6. The 50-foot-tall Jeffrey Pine located in the Mammoth Creek Park inclusive playground was covered with approximately 4,500 linear feet of LED warm white light strands that will light up the night sky creating a welcoming festive environment for our residents and visitors. Phase II of this project will be planned over the coming months for implementation this summer/fall. Finally, the Town purchased and installed additional animated snowflakes. Over 60 lighted snowflakes now animate Main Street all the way to the Minaret Road intersection and along Old Mammoth Road ending at Mammoth Creek Park.
 Engage in the Mammoth Main Base Redevelopment Project to ensure community benefits and long term added economic value to the Town and region.

The Mammoth Main Base Redevelopment Project is a major private development application being processed by the Town. The most recent update is as follows:

Environmental Review (CEQA/NEPA) – Environmental analysis (i.e., preparation of the Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environment Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) has not started. The USFS, Town, and applicant are coordinating on the study plan for the EIR/EIS, which identifies the strategy for ensuring a comprehensive and thorough analysis in the EIR/EIS. Additional project information is needed to begin preparing the EIR/EIS.

Outreach – Meetings with the project’s “Working Group” are ongoing to discuss key project topics and issues. The Working Group consists of Town staff, the applicant, and

Page 378 of 387 ends

8 various stakeholders (e.g., Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District (MLFPD), Mammoth Lakes Police Department, etc.). Future public meetings are anticipated to be topic focused as discussions with the Working Group proceed.

State Route (SR) 203 – The Town, applicant, and Caltrans continue to coordinate on the proposed realignment and design for the realignment of SR 203. Discussions related to relinquishment are on hold as progress continues with Caltrans on review of the proposed realignment design.

Housing – The Applicant is working on their proposed housing plan. Once it is submitted, it will be reviewed and discussed by the Working Group before being scheduled for a joint Council and Planning and Economic Development Commission workshop.  Leverage state and other resources to support regional arts & culture, events, and sports related facilities to leverage regional competitions and athlete training.

Mammoth Lakes Recreation (MLR) recommends Measure U funds for entities that provide diverse and enhanced recreation, arts & culture programs for the residents and visitors of Mammoth Lakes annually or over the course of a season. Approximately $225,000 is awarded by the Town Council each year. Local funding recipients include Chamber Music Unbound, Eastern Sierra Arts Alliance, Eastern Sierra Avalanche Center, Friends of the Inyo, Eastern Sierra Symphony, the Mammoth Channel, Mono Arts Council, Sierra Classic Theatre, Valentine Eastern Sierra Reserves, Eastern Sierra Community Chorus, Clean-Up the Lake and the Mammoth Ski Patrol Alumni.

No grants were received by the Town in 2024 to leverage the development of sports related facilities or to host regional competitions and athlete training. However, repairs to the Whitmore Track surface will improve opportunities for regional/national teams to utilize the 9-lane running track prior to the LA 2028 Olympic Games. In addition, this fall, LA Kings Ice at Mammoth Lakes operating within the Community Recreation Center (CRC) has been hosting regional hockey games for the Bishop High School Hockey Team as part of the LA Kings High School League and Mammoth Lakes Youth Hockey teams who now compete in the Southern California Amateur Hockey Association (SCAHA) which is the governing body for competitive and developmental youth hockey in Southern California.

The association was formed in 1974 and officially lists 22-member hockey clubs and is the largest youth hockey league in the Western United States.

Strategic Priority: Environmental Resiliency by Proactive planning and Project Implementation
 Support marketing and on-the ground engagement to develop a culture of stewardship, responsible recreation, preparedness for natural disasters and to address climate change.

The Town has a multi-faceted approach to education of our natural environment. The Town’s Host Program serves to provide active management of resources, preventing

Page 379 of 387 ends

9 damage and educating tourists on how they play a part in sustaining our natural environment. This program has been a huge success in the recreation space and is scalable to other needs of the community. An adaptation of this program in development is the focused education of visitors on interaction with our wildlife. The interface between our visitors and wildlife can serve to habitualize wildlife to depend on humans as their food sources, leading to negative interaction. The Town is working to protect our precious resources and improve our experiences. The Town also worked closely with the Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District (MLFPD) on their defensible space programs. This included removal of many hazardous or dead trees in the Lakes Basin and around the Community Center park and tennis courts.

The Town’s marketing team, Mammoth Lakes Tourism (MLT), continues to provide messaging to visitors on how to engage with our natural resources appropriately.

The comprehensive 2022/23 After Action Report (AAR) was completed in the prior year.

This effort was an extensive review of key events during the 2022/23 winter emergencies.

It analyzed the decision-making process and how each of the agencies worked together on our approach. The report details a concise list of tasks that will improve response and preparation for similar emergencies in the future. While this report has been completed, work on these improvements is ongoing and should remain a focus for the coming year.  Provide support for long-term forest recreational, health and safety projects such as ESCCRP, USFS planning processes, and amenity investment, working with local and regional partners.

The Town is engaged with the Whitebark Institute in a significant fuels reduction project within the surrounding forest called the Eastern Sierra Climate and Communities Resilience Project or ESCCRP. This project is a collaborative landscape-scale forest restoration project set to reduce the risk of potential high-severity wildfire and to restore resilience to 58,000 acres of Inyo National Forest lands surrounding the Town of Mammoth Lakes by removing fuel loading through mechanical treatments and making way for us to eventually reintroduce prescribed fire back onto the landscape to help the forest get back to its natural fire return intervals. Thus far, Whitebark has been very successful in obtaining major grants to support the efforts. The Town is providing assistance in cash flow to support the operations. Many of the grants in this space require previous payment of treatment invoices, followed by a request for reimbursement. The Town is providing $500,000 for this effort but likely more will be required. One of the key concerns is identifying long term funding that can attract other resources to the projects. Investments like a biomass plant require a long-term commitment to obtaining feedstock for plant operations. While grants have been incredibly successful, they do not provide these assurances. Staff is working to identify a funding source to accomplish this but competition for priorities like workforce housing have been a higher priority. As there is success in providing housing solutions, there is a balance of effort needed to protect those investments from the threat of wildfire.

Page 380 of 387 ends

10 The Town Manager plays a critical role in developing relationships with partner agencies.

In the past year, regular meetings with the Forest Service have been established to achieve a better understanding on how both agencies can support each other for mutual success.

While much has been accomplished, more is necessary in this space. In the coming year, the Forest Service will face budgetary constraints that will have a significant impact on their ability to deliver services, greatly impacting our visitor experiences. The Town will be called upon to mitigate these impacts and ensure that our experiences remain world class.

The Town continues to work on projects like the Sherwins Trail Project and Black Bear Run to add sustainable, well-developed amenities for our visitors. This includes adding amenities like new parking areas and restrooms.
 Engage with recreational planning & development projects that focus on adaptation, resiliency, & mitigation strategies to preserve long-term vitality & diversity of uses.

The design process used for new recreational amenities has evolved over time to add more science to our trail building. The Town is focused on creating a highly trained and wellequipped staff to execute on these strategies. The Town also participated in the Forest Service Subpart C – over-snow vehicle management plan. This plan strives to address proper use of resources and manages interaction between different user groups. Staff participated in the project, seeking to enhance experiences of all user groups with defined amenity improvements to existing trailheads and trails. This is currently on hold within the Forest Service, but the Town is seeking the implementation of items that will provide immediate improvements with minimal impacts to any user groups.  Pursue funding sources to support forest wildfire mitigation projects and housing such as federal and state grants, EIFD/Climate Resiliency Districts and Town resources.

Staff is engaged with California Consulting to provide a monthly review of all grant opportunities available to us. This consultant also assists in the preparation of grant applications. These are often arduous endeavors, requiring much work in a tight timeline for submission.

Another important effort is an understanding of the work the State is doing in this space, and a better understanding of how the Town should engage with those programs. New funding opportunities are available (Prop 4) and will be disbursed to agencies that are ready to execute projects that connect with stated goals. In the coming year, the Town should adopt these initiatives and define work plans that are “shovel ready” to receive funds.

11 Strategic Priority: Implementation of Enhanced and Required Municipal Services
 Maintain long-term financial stability to support strategic community investments and resiliency and long-term maintenance and sustainability of capital investments and services.

This summer, the Town completed a $2.8 million project to rehabilitate several streets and multi-use paths (MUPs) that required preventative maintenance. The project scope of work recommended for contract award includes reconstruction of the following streets and MUPs:

Streets:
 Kelley Road
 Silver Tip Lane
 Monterey Pine Road – from Majestic Pines Drive to Silver Tip Lane  Majestic Pines Drive – from Monterey Pine Road to NE End  Mono Street
 Dorrance Drive – From Joaquin Road to Manzanita Road
Multi-use Paths:
 Main Street North Side MUP - from 203 North of Old Mammoth Road to  Mammoth Lakes Welcome Center
 Old Mammoth Road MUP – from Waterford Avenue to Minaret Road  Mammoth Creek Park West MUP – near the Community Recreation Center (CRC)
 Enhance Town’s public outreach/engagement/information strategies, tools, social media, surveys, customer facing technology services and direct public interaction.

At the beginning of the year, the Town launched its new ‘refreshed’ website providing enhanced navigation and functionality for users. In addition, the five graphic buttons on the homepage were enhanced with the “News and Alerts” button directing users to the Town’s opt-in email lists. Several Quick Link buttons also reside on the homepage, such as Housing Now!, TOT, Claims, Community eNews, Be Snow Smart and Emergency Information. The Mammoth Lakes Police Department, Parks and Recreation Department and the Mammoth Yosemite Airport all received Department Headers providing distinctive and expedited access to those sites.

The Town has increased its outreach efforts in the form of Community eNews distributed every Friday to over 1,400 subscribers and Recreation This Week sent every Thursday to over 4,400 DaySmart subscribers.

The Town’s social media presence has also expanded with the contracting of a public communications professional to draft and post an informative, insightful and communitycentric social post every Thursday. Recent topics include the broad Housing Now!

 Completion of “Civic Center” vision with construction of new Town Offices.

In February, 2024, the Town Council authorized bonding for the new Town Hall. Staff have been working with HMC Architects since 2022 on designs for the new facility. The project includes a new Town Hall with community spaces and offices for administrative staff. The schematic design included an emergency operations center (EOC). The Town hall project design was approved by the planning department in April 2024 and construction began on the foundations, utilities and parking lot this summer. The new Town offices are planned to open in late 2026. Funding for the design came from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Construction of the project is funded by municipal bonds. Total Budget Design: $1,900,000, Total Budget for construction: $27,000,000.  Implementation of programs/policies to meet state mandates in solid waste management, electrification, housing development, and climate adaptation.

The Town is engaged in the success of this initiative by building on existing programs.

This year we increased the number of FREE green waste collection days as part of the Town clean up project. We also enacted a single-use plastic water bottle ban and Styrofoam ban for local restaurants. The Town also hired a Sustainability Coordinator to assist in implementation and education of these key initiatives.

STAFFING CONSIDERATIONS:

The vast majority of Staff time is spent conducting the Core Services of the Town. Across departments there is less than 5-10% of time available for any significant level of new work program items. The available capacity is often committed to unanticipated or opportunistic short-term assignments or work programs. Staff continue to identify options to add capacity through operational efficiency, effectiveness in program delivery and innovation, reallocation of existing resources and the defining of additional resources.

13 CONCLUSION:

The purpose of this presentation is to provide a solid understanding of the Strategic Priorities and Key Objectives Statement in defining future work programs and focus for staff. It is unlikely that there will be a significant shift in the priorities and objectives.

However, minor adjustments are expected as success is achieved through an iterative process with accomplishments of the prior year serving to highlight the needs of the future.

Town Council should consider these accomplishments as they seek to enhance our service to the community through the development of updated Strategic Priorities and Key Objectives Statement.
