ILl. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:

IV. PUBLIC COMMENTS: "This time is set aside for the public to address the City Council on matters listed on the Consent Agenda as well as other items not included on the Regular Agenda within the authority of the City Council. If your comments concern an item noted under New Business or Old Business on the Regular Agenda, please address the City Council when that item is open for public comment." (The Brown Act requires the public be given the opportunity to address the City Council before action is taken. If there is a Consent Agenda, there is no other opportunity for public comment on items on the Consent Agenda.) The City Council has the right to reasonably limit the duration of each speaker to three minutes. Speakers may not cede their time. The City Council may ask questions but may take no action during the Public Comments portion of the meeting, except to direct staff to prepare a report, or to place an item on a future agenda.

Micah Nichols of Webb Street would like to make some points about Jen Dooleys statement at last month's meeting, which in his opinion wasn't truthful on various accounts. He is not a part of a group and did not pledge a vote for Council Member Vela. Whomever that information was received from was lying and he wants everyone to know about this publicly and that he is very disappointed in Dooley and Murakami. He tried to contact Dooley and Murakami numerous times and reached out. He was never asked if it was true, so he feels that it is a sign of gratitude. Gratitude is shown when someone shows support and it is his opinion that as both a council member and fire chief he has not been shown any support. He has been belittled and called names by his own fire chief.

How is he supposed to excel as a firefighter if his own chief is talking down upon him? To say that he is biased because he has a different opinion than them and to not vote on something like that because somebody said something. So this is where the money is going to go instead of to the community. They should have voted, it is as simple as that. He didn't know he was part of any group. He also goes on about OES stating that OES does not invite to strike teams they are in charge of it. It gets handed down to CalFire and they delegate aids which should go to a local fire chief, from there it is on rotation. There were past conversations between Nichols and Murakami and he stated it many times and he never got any support. He has heard every excuse why they weren't going on strike teams, but that is the first he had heard of that. Murakami knows our conversations and Nichols feels he has had no support.

Tara Pipkins. In regards to Dooley's "rant" last meeting, like Nichols said, she does not know where you got your information from, but not one person that submitted their letter of interest had anything to do with the recall. Not one person. You two (Murakami and Dooley) showed your real colors. And when they voted to not get a fifth person in and Dooley's rant, which did not pertain to anything as a commissioners report. As the fire commissioner she knows Dooley received a phone call because the acting fire chief notified a volunteer that he was removing him and the volunteer requested it in writing and the acting fire chief refused that to him. The volunteer contacted Dooley to get some assistance or to notify her to see if she was aware of it and she had no idea. She feels that the fire commissioner should step up to the plate and do what's right on behalf of the volunteers. She goes on to say that Murakami and Dooley are making everyone that works for the city look like idiots. And the recall is moving forward.

Theresa Newton. She noticed on the February meeting there was a discussion of the March 2025 rate increase.

She said on the rate sheet it was a proposal not a demand. As council you all increased the water and sewer and not one of you voted on it. She wants to know why. She is also upset over Dooley's statement at the end of last meeting and points out that Dooley should follow the rules of the council meeting which state that members of the council can not make brief announcements, report, or request staff report to the council on any matter that is subsequent to a meeting.

Kate McCully. Wanted to take a minute to express her gratitude to everyone that works for the city and community. She thanked everyone for taking on such positions and the obstacles they are trying to overcome. She said that a positive difference was being made and that the community stands behind them and the positive future they are working toward.

Rick Diabla, West Webb. Was worried about Webex not working properly at the last meeting and expressed his concerns about people not being able to ask questions. He is hoping it is working properly today so people can ask questions and voice their comments.

Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Title 2 Administration And Personnel to Clarify Duties of the City Administrator, City Clerk, City Attorney and Director Of Public Works, and Amendment of Section 2.32 Personnel System Employee Handbook relating to City Administrator, City Clerk City Attorney and Director of Public Works. Andrew presenting. The updated amendment in packet. Council did not have any questions. Public comment by Theresa Newton. She wants to know how this is going to affect the pay of the city administrator due to him "wearing many hats" . When he is no longer doing multiple jobs, and his job description decreases, is it legal to take away pay? Motion to waive the full reading of the proposed ordinance amending Ordinance 15-01 (Pg 15 of packet) Amending Title 2 Administration and Personnel to Clarify Duties of the City Administrator, City Clerk, City Attorney and Director Of Public Works, and Amendment of Section 2.32 Personnel System Employee Handbook relating to City Administrator, City Clerk City Attorney and Director of Public Works made by Dooley.

IX. NEW BUSINESS:

1. Consideration of amending Resolution 17-36 section 7.1.1 to a simple majority vote-Presented by Vela. This brings us into compliance with State Laws.

Andrew continues "What this resolution will do it will specify that the vote can pass with in motion such as tonight with only three members present. Adopting a simple motion not a resolution for money, not an ordinance, but a just regular minute order type action. It can be done with three members present, it can be done with two members of the council." Andrew continues saying that a Resolution or Ordinance will still need 3 affirmative votes. Motion to amend Resolution 17-36 Section 7.1.1 to a simple majority vote made by Dooley. Second by Vela. All Ayes. Will be effective in 30 days. 340291.1

2. Consideration/approval of Community Development Block Grant-Presented by Brandy of Great Northern.

Grant provides protein and produce for moderate income individuals throughout the county. Asking for a MOU to be signed so they can distribute food in Montague. Motion to approve Community Block Grant MOU made by Vela. Seconded by Dooley. All Ayes.

Essex is asking for donation of space (a room) for surgeries. Council approves use of the rotary room in Community Hall and parking for spay and neuter clinic.

Motion made by Vela. Seconded by Jackson. All Ayes.

5. Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance Regarding Fire Hazard Severity Zones-Andrew presenting. He states that we are required by state law to develop the recently published fire hazard zones. It was published by the state in January of this year. There has been some confusion due to recent fires. We do not have any very high zones within the city of Montague which was the only hazard zone with changes. The focus on making these designations has to do with ember prevented fires. It is not a reflection on anything else. The only change that is being recommended is the Amended City Code under Chapter 15.38, adding that section and 15.38020 adding a statement that when there are multiple zones on one lot, then the higher zone would apply. Just to prevent any type of confusion at either staff level or at the resident level and prevent any type of confrontation later on. This way of designating the higher zone on a multiple designation lot is consistent with what the state does with areas that they manage that are not under the local responsibility areas, but are under the state responsibility areas. It will require a second reading next meeting to adopt both the City Code and to adopt a map. The criticism and complaints should be directed towards the legislature and not the council. This council has no choice in this matter to adopt this. It is required by the state. He goes on about a debate about insurance rates. He states that these maps are not what insurance agencies look at to make their decision. They look at similar data and that is what they are reacting to. Public comment made by Theresa Newton. Wanting to know about who is responsible for the boundaries when a home is on the line of city property. Whose responsibility are the weeds on those boundaries and who is to clear them with this new ordinance. Motion to approve Ordinance 25-02 for the first reading of the Fire Ordinance Hazard Variance Zone Map waiving the full reading of this Ordinance 25- 02 in Ordinance of the City of Montague, CA adopts the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map and amending Title 15 of Fire Hazard Severity Zone made by Vela. Seconded by Dooley. All Ayes.

7. Commissioner/ Council Statements and Requests: Members of the council may now make brief announcements, reports, or request staff to report to the council on any matter at a subsequent meeting. Vela has a prepared statement. "I would like to address the comments made by council member Jen Dooley at our March 6th council meeting. Council member Dooley stated she received information on a recall group member without proving who she spoke with. She then stated that some recall group members were part of the group we interviewed for the fifth council members seat. She went as far as to say that certain people had been appointed to the seat, I would have their vote to become Mayor and in turn I would fire the City Administrator, the City Attorney, and I'd reinstate Jasen Vela. I voted for John Mcarthy for the fifth council seat, and I stand by that view. He was obviously unbiased and qualified for the position. So I am unaware why council member Dooley acted like we didn't have an option for an unbiased council member. I am disappointed in such untruths would be stated from a council member. I have never once spoken about Mayoral Votes with anyone who was interviewed. As for dismissal of employees. These are council decisions. Not Mayoral decisions. As for reinstating Jasen, this is also a council decision. This is an ongoing investigation and charges have been brought forward. At this point we have to let the investigation be completed to make any type of decision. As for when Jasen was put on administrative leave, I asked the City Attorney if I had to recuse myself from the vote. He informed me I did not have to recuse myself and had to have a full vote from council. My vote was to put him on administrative leave. Council member Dooley also stated that I was allowing the recall committee to bully the council. I have no idea who the recall committee consists of and as a single council member I do have any power over the community committees. Her statement was not true. Council member Dooley also stated that there was a community question as to why I have not recused myself from voting about fire department issues. Alluding to community's desire that I should step down altogether. As I already stated, I have been acting under the advice of the Attorney. I would like to know how Council Member Dooley feels about a member of the Fire Department and Acting Fire Chief not recusing himself from voting on Fire Department issues. I was also asked by some citizens of Montague to look into the turmoil of the Montague Fire Department during open council meetings. This was held in a closed session employment evaluation. No action was taken at that time. Something that has been quite common on this council. I joined this council to help the city in any way I can. I have never had any intent to disrupt the city business, and as for claiming that I have, as you have claimed that I have. I would like to know and see the report of the proof of the statement and I would also like to read from Resolution 17- 36414.3 regarding council of city members, fifth member is vacant of city council. City council shall refrain from abusive conduct, personal charges, or verbal attacks upon the character or motivation of others. When I got on this council this council was unison, worked together and it was cohesive. Tak asked me to be on this council and I respected his wishes. I got on this council to do the right thing. I have done a lot for the city as being the Financial Commissioner to get financials, to look at our books. I have done a lot of things for the city, and I don't feel that those comments were appropriate driven at me with no proof or backing." Jackson asked if we are going to do this every time. Vela said no, he just needed to get that off his chest. Murakami follows with the commissioner's statements. We have the egg hunt on April 19th. Murakami would appreciate anyone that wants to participate in an egg stuffing party on the weekend before and anyone that wants to volunteer to help put out eggs and lay out the spaces for the eggs during the Easter egg hunt on the morning of the 19th. A decision was made to stuff eggs on Thursday the 17th at 6:30 PM. Still working on Fireworks stuff. Donations are being made for the fireworks currently.

V. AGENDA APPROVAL: Motion made by Jackson. Seconded by Vela. All Ayes.

VI. NEW BUSINESS:

1. Consideration of approval of Siskiyou County Local Transportation Commission (SCLTC) Local Transportation Fund Transportation Claim. Presented by Dunn. Every year they offer the city transportation money based on an estimates from the California Department of Finance. This money is used for roads.

Jackson asked if the area that goes past Dave Wilson's house that turns into Airport is part of the city. Dunn confirms that it is part of the city, and that road is projected to be repaved in 26/27. Motion to approve Siskiyou County Local Transportation Commission (SCLTC) Local Transportation Fund Transportation Claim made by Dooley. Seconded by Jackson. All Ayes.

2. Approval of Resolution No. 25-04 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Montague Authorizing the City Administrator, Council Member and Treasures as a check signer at Tri Counties Bank. Dunn presenting.

The city did this a few months ago. The Clerk was put on there and some things happened, so we are switching and making Dunn a signer on the account. Dunn was also asked to change and make Jackson a signer and take Pat Vela off. Vela wanted to know why and also stated that she has to accept it. Jackson said that she cannot do this. She says that she is at work all the time and she will be working all summer. Also she does not know the financial side. She continued that it was not her area. Murakami said that he was under the impression that she wanted to try to do it. Jackson asked where Murakami had gotten the idea. Murakami said that he had just heard it through people. Jackson said oh no, the last thing she wants to deal with is money.

Murakami said okay, he just wanted to give someone else an opportunity to be Commissioner. Vela points out that there is a lot more involved in being a Commissioner. Vela is involved in CDBG loans, audits, and other financial involvement. Murakami agrees to revert it back to Vela. Motion to approve Dunn and keep Vela as signers for Tri County Bank per Resolution No. 25-04 made by Jackson. Seconded by Dooley. All Ayes.

3. Consideration of allowing the Sheriff to use the Community Hall for their community outreach meeting.

Presented by Sage Milestone. The Sheriff wants to have meetings with citizens in the communities of the county before fire season begins. The goal is to get out safety information and to give the public a chance to ask questions. The Sheriff's department is asking to use the Community Hall with a waived rental and deposit fees for May 13, 2025 for a community outreach meeting. It would be open to the public. Motion made for approval of use of the Community Hall with no fee for May 13, 2025. Seconded by Jackson. All Ayes.

4. Approval Authorizing Takeshi Murakami to enter a contract with ????? for fireworks at the 2025 Freedom Festival. Presented by Murakami. The city was given 3 bids by different companies, like before. We only received 2 quotes. Devastating Pyrotechnics was a new company from last year. However, they declined to bid because they want to provide the shooter of fireworks at our expense. The City of Montague already has a licensed shooter. The 2 companies that provided a bid were Pyro Spectacular and Fireworks America (which did the fireworks last year). Fireworks America outbid Pyro Spectacular as they did last year. The reason this is significant and the reason that there is so much more is because not only did they beat the bid from Pyro Spectacular like they did last year, but there was approximately 100 shells that did not get fired off at the 2024 Freedom Festival because they were recalled at the last minute because people were getting their fingers blown off. Murakami continued, and because of that Dave Peterson had to pull those and not shoot them.

They agreed to compensate us for it on the next show. So not only did they beat them by the approximately/nearly 100 shells that they did last year, but on top of that they put those shells on there. So now we are at 684 shells versus Pyro Spectacular's 428 shells. So, the fireworks basically sell themselves.

Council members commented on the show last year and said it was great. Murakami adds, "I would also, like last year, I would like to ask for the excess funds that are in the Parks and Rec's account that were there last year. I asked them to use them last year for the Freedom Festival, for fireworks if we didn't get enough sponsors to pay for them. I could use it like that, and we did of course. And then for entertainment or other purposes for the Freedom Festival to make it happen. We made enough money on the Freedom Festival that that seed money was put back, and so I am asking to use it again. And, likely I would be able to put it back again as well." Vela said he had a few questions regarding that "Last council meeting we talked about the immunization and pet thing, and we were going to use some of those funds out of that for that." Murakami says he does not recall talking about it. Dunn said that Vela had talked to him about it after the meeting. Dunn said that Vela had asked how much was in the Parks and Rec fund. Dunn continues "Which is right around $16,000 and he (Vela) said what if we donated some of that to the Spay and Neuder program Essex wants to do. Because they need seed money to keep it going. And I said well that will be a council decision." Vela said "Right, so we would have to take a look at that. The only thing with getting you (Murakami) complete, free authorization, we don't have any idea other than the $16,000 what it is being used for." Murakami then says "Well, I always bring the contracts." Vela says, "I do not have a problem with fireworks, that's not the issue." Murakami said, "Ultimately right now, until we get all our sponsors in, it is for the fireworks." Vela said "I understand that. But the question I have is that people have been calling me asking what is going on with the Freedom Festival. And we need to figure out where we are at and what we are doing and what kind of event it is going be." Murakami says, "It's the same thing we did last year." Vela says, "Well I heard that there was no carnival." Murakami asks, "Who did you hear that from?" Vela said "It was a rumor that was going around that one of these sponsors told me about. And I said I had no idea. So, I am just asking" Murakami says, "We didn't even have a carnival at this time last year." Vela says, "I'm just asking what kind of event are we looking at this year?" Murakami says, "Same thing." Dooley asks if this is going to be another three-day event? Murakami says "Yes. A three-day event, carnival, fireworks, and vendors. And a parade which will most likely be done by somebody else. So, as it stands right now we have a commitment from one of our sponsors from last year that donated $5,000 to do it again, and that's Golden Rush Expresso. We have a $5,000 check that was given to me immediately whenever I asked if they were going to reup for DeClerck enterprises. I am looking at my business donating again and then I have had several commitments from businesses that didn't even donate last year that are looking into donating this year." Dunn said Darrin Mercier donated $1000 already this year. Murakami said "Yeah, I sent him a thing to do it I have quite a few people and businesses that are looking at donating again or donating for the first plan this year. And I've talked to the Ford dealership, the Credit Union, the Siskiyou Plumbing and Electrical and who else do we have that was platinum a sponsor? Dunn said that was it. Vela asked about Nor Cal and Cal Ore. Murakami said that they were not a platinum, they did like $2500. Dave said yes, 25 to $3000. Murakami says "Yeah, I haven't talked to them yet. Yeah, but and you know, I just have to talk to them and lock it down and so if I can't lock it down, that's what I'll use to $16000 for if not, I may not use it at all. I don't think that we should spend much money on music this time. Because we didn't a get really a good result with that and so I don't think it was a drawer attraction. We can develop this in future years, you know, as it gets larger." Vela asks if we are doing the car show. Murakami says yes, everything we did last year. Vela asks so it's going to be on the same day as the fireworks, wouldn't you think? Dunn said no, we did it the next day. Vela says I know we did it last year, why not this year? Murakami says "I don't want do it, It's just too much too much. It's too much all on in one day. So, you know, you don't want to have people that are having to make a choice between like. Oh, I want to show my car. I want to go do this. You know, I want to watch the fireworks." Vela asks "So I'm just trying. Because I've been asked by several people. What are we planning and what has been approved by council." Murakami says "So, well for planning? What we did last year, and the sponsorship program was a year-to-year program, and so that's so that's already been approved in the very beginning. And so as long as these people, you know, are reupping, or you know, or new people come in and they're participating along the program guidelines that we laid out. And so that's all there is to it. And then that funds the fireworks. David Peterson donates his time and equipment to launch our fireworks and." Vela says "Okay. So, I have one more one more question. We have commitments to burn the mountain, burn the hill, and from what I've been told is the City of Montague no longer has a red card to be able to burn.

Anybody that's certified to do it. Jake was the last one." Murakami states no, that's not true, the red card is really easy to get. Vela says "Well, as long as we have one in place and we're certified to do it. And then what about incident action plan?" Murakami says "We issue our own burn permits. We can recycle last year's. So it's going to be exactly the same event." Vela says "Okay, because I heard rumors that the Cal Fire was not going to be involved this year. I don't know how that is, but..." Murakami says "If they're not. They're not.

If they are. They are." Vela says "We just got to make sure that we're doing everything that we're committed to and you know, the people that live over there. We gave them verbal and said that we would burn that hill down directly up to that fence line." Murakami and that the agreement with Dave that if we are going to launch fireworks again that all of Dumbbell would be burned off. And that was my understanding of what was going to happen last year, and we didn't do it because we didn't have the personnel to do it. And so...." Vela says "Well, that's what I'm concerned with. Where are you going to pull personnel from. That's all. I just want to know where that personnel was coming from." Murakami says from our Fire House. Vela says "Because the, the guys you got it right now, right now you got 4 guys that are 14 members." Vela asks how many active? Murakami says "7 that's no different than it's ever been though. That's exactly the same that it's always been doesn't matter how many people are on the roster. That's exactly how that fire department has operated for the last 25, 30 years." Dooley says "So, regardless of when we do the burning, I would suggest reaching out personally to the Houston's." Murakami says, "We are going to go and talk to them and ask them if we can even burn their property off." Dooley says "Perfect. Just because I think we owe them that." Murakami and Vela both said "Yes." Vela said "That was a commitment from the city to them, and that needs to happen. And we are only out two months. I don't even know that there is a committee formed for this. We formed a committee last year. It sounds like you (Murakami) want to do the whole thing." Murakami says "We don't need a committee. We didn't need a committee last year; we don't need a committee this year." Jackson asked "Wasn't there a group that worked on it? Vela and Murakami said, "There was." Murakami said we met three or four times at the fire house and that was basically it." Dunn says "I do know that it is going to be tougher this year because we have office staff and public works staff that are not going to be here at that time. That have already been scheduled to be gone." Murakami said "I do intend on also changing the parking situation. So, we are not going to have nearly as much charged parking and so that will make it a lot easier." Vela asks, "What about just doing a dollar and open it up for just parking?" Murakami says 'No. We are just going do free parking, but we're still going to have those premium spaces up front. That will be easier to manage because we are not keeping people out of that whole side, just keeping them out of the end of the lot." Jackson said "There needs to be some kind of cooling spots this year. Because my daughter got sick." Murakami said "Yeah. If we can raise enough money, besides the fireworks, maybe can invest in some big tents or something of that nature." Dunn said "We tried last year, and we couldn't. They were all committed to the fires last year." Murakami said, "It was last minute though, because we didn't find out it was going to be 115 degrees out." Vela asked, "Could we use some of that $16,000 to purchase them?" Dunn said "We bought a couple. We do have a couple pop-up ones from last year that we did purchase." Vela said "Right.

But I am talking about an industrial size tent that is about as long as this building." Dooley says, "Those aren't too expensive." Vela says, "They're not. You can get them for about $400." Murakami said, "I thought we had one already." Jackson says "Yeah. If we are going to use one every year..." Vela "Yeah. Exactly" Dooley says, "If we could get some misters, those are cheap." Vela "If we could buy a couple of those." Murakami said "Defiantly, we just need to get all of our vendors on board and basically make sure the money is coming in. And so, we are going to have several meetings you know, before the 4th of July and so we'll have time, and we can call special meetings if we need to." Vela says "I would just like to see council work together as a team on this and make sure that everybody knows what's going on. Last year there was a lot of lull and we didn't understand where some of the money went, and I don't want to see that happen again. I want to make sure that the council is all as a whole, and Dave included know exactly where it's going. On where the money's being spent and exactly the actually plan that's going to be put into place for it.

That's my..." Dooley "I think it's better when people have questions too." Vela "Yes, exactly cause I mean, I've been hit with several questions, and I can't tell them anything because number one, we haven't approved anything and number two, we haven't talked about it. And we need to have a... " Dunn "We could do an open meeting as a special meeting workshop kind of format. Where it's like this and everybody can come in and just ask questions and talk to council so that you are all here." Murakami "Or we could have a press release about it." Dunn "We could do that too." Vela "Yeah." Jackson "Some people may have something to say though. Because if we don't then people think for hiding something. Like but, if it's open and they can come and ask questions. I just feel like they're more comfortable and they'll be a part of it.

Rather than..." Vela "Right. We need to work together as a team on this and make sure the in the community...." Dooley "Well, my suggestion is that we choose the fireworks. I feel that if we have to lock these people in. If we have to give them a deposit. Whatever the situation is, I think we should approve that this evening. But I think we also need to have front-loaded for an open meeting. I think we need to have answers for what we're going to be spending it on. But I think we should have an open meeting as well. But I think that tonight the paperwork says they have to have the approval by May 1st." Murakami "May 4th." Vela "Yeah, I agree. I agree with the fireworks. The one company we used last year was great. And I think we aught to approve that. And so, did they take a deposit, or do they want all their money up front?" Murakami "They want 50% upfront which is $12,500." Dunn "It is exactly what we did last year." Murakami "Everything's the same last year. There's nothing that's changed from last year to this year. Except for maybe some different sponsors or different vendors." Vela "Oka. Then who's going to be doing the marketing?" Murakami "I am. Just as I did last year." Vela "Well. I did a lot of the marketing last year as well." Murakami "Okay." Vela "I'm not saying that I want to do it. I'm just saying we have to work together.

And everybody's got to know what's going on. And that was not happening last year." Murakami "No. I kept everyone informed all last year of everything that we had. We have the whiteboard down at the firehouse that had everything detailed on it. And when it was finished, it was marked off and all that sort of thing." Vela "That's what we need. To make sure that everybody here needs to know what's going on. That's all." Jackson "Can the public go into the firehouse and see that?" Murakami "No, no, they can't, but we post it on the Parks and Rec page, for example, this is what we're planning for the Freedom Festival and these are the things that are done and these are the things that are coming along. I mean, I don't know that that's necessarily really something for public consumption though. I mean, in my personal opinion, I think we just advertise what we're going to do." Jackson "Yeah, but there will be people poking at things and try to make something where there's nothing. And I just feel.." Murakami "Okay." Jackson "That we need to, you know, that it would be good for us to be really transparent with everything we are doing." Murakami "Right." Jackson "So that, I don't know, I just want.." Dooley "Peace!" Jackson "Yes!" Vela " No drama, just fun." Jackson "To get back to how it use to be." Vela "Yes." Dooley "I strongly feel that we also need to let people know that we did make money last year. We didn't go in the hole. If we have $16000 in this account, we made money." Murakami "Well, and then some, because we actually put money towards the gate, which | mean, we did, every time we have a council meeting. It's in the minutes, everything that happened." Dooley "Yes. It is." Jackson "I didn't know we made money. So maybe we could just make sure we do a report next time." Vela "Right. And an ongoing, it would be nice to do an ongoing spreadsheet just to have it out there.

And send it to council whenever something is spent so we all know." Dunn "Or comes in." Vela "Or money comes in. Somebody to manage it. Ruanna could actually manage it." Murakami "Which we actually did that with the promotional flier and I updated it every time a new sponsor came on and the you know? And I even have on the Parks and Recs page. You know, what the sponsor's were. Like, how much money these people donated. What they, you know, for platinum, double platinum." Vela "Right. I remember." Dooley "It was on the shirts too, right?" Vela "Yes, they were on the shirts as well." Murakami "Well, so I mean you know, yeah, I mean we basically did all of that. " Vela "Right." Murakami "So..." Jackson "If I'm saying anything, I'm not in any way trying to criticize how you did it. I'm just, it's a different. It's a different environment now than it was back then..." Murakami "Right." Jackson "And I just feel like.." Vela "And that's what I'm getting from other people that are calling me. They're just wanting to know what's going on." Jackson "I just don't want them to turn it into another the Mayor's doing this, the Mayor's doing that kinda of thing. It's ridiculous and I don't want them doing that." Murakami "Right." Vela "And if we are all in communication on it and we all
know what's going on. And we know where money is coming in and the moneys going out then it's seamless." Murakami "Well, we basically get that at every single council meeting. I laid out what had been done." Vela "I went back through the notes and the minutes and some of it was there, but some of it wasn't.

And there was questions and I don't want to see that happen again. Because if the public gets ahold of it..." Murakami "You know, that is true. Because there was stuff that was not properly recorded. And there was a lot of that. And so, if you go to the recorded minutes it is different than what the written minutes were.

And I think that that was the large part of the issue that we had with people thinking that something bad had transpired in there. When nothing had. Because they have access to the written minutes. And they're looking at the written minutes. But unless you do a request and you get the recorded minutes, and you actually listen to what was said during those meetings. That's a whole different thing. And so people were thanked that didn't get put on the minutes. And you know, updates where money was spent, who asked for it. All that sort of stuff wasn't written in the minutes." Vela "And that was the problem. We couldn't track anything. That way if we get a written report..." Murakami "Yeah. I'll just do a written report for every council meeting and it'll have what I've what I've contracted with. What money's come in. You know, all that sort of thing. I have no problem doing that. Vela "The only thing that I request and I haven't talked to Dave yet, but I would like Dave to know exactly what's being spent out of that Parks and Rec account prior to being committed, and the communication needs to be right on tax with Dave to make sure that he knows where that money is going, and that..." Dooley "But we know that this $12,500 has to go.

And it has to go now." Vela "I know. Yeah, right. But if we get those donations back in, they go back in that account." Jackson "So, the pool is all taken care of though, right?" Murakami "Yes." Jackson "So it's not like any pool money or anything?" Murakami "No. This is money for the Freedom Festival." Vela "And so we have a GL that it's signed for and then we can put the deposit down on the fireworks, approve those get that done and then start that you know, marketing and trying to get more vendors to do this." Dunn "It's only $10,000 coming out of that $16,000 right now because we've already got the $6,000 in donations." Vela "Right." Dooley "Right." Vela "So if we're all on board with that. I'm fine with that. I think everybody else fine with that. Dooley "Yeah." Jackson "Yeah. Those were great fireworks. Probably the best fireworks I've ever seen." Murakami "Well, it'll be better this time around." Jackson "Yeah, with a hundred more, that's awesome!" Dooley "Yes!" Murakami "They are small but those are also salutes which they'd go up and make a bright flash and a really loud bang. And so yeah, so it'll be much more intense for the senses." Jackson "And it also seemed like it kept going. Where it wasn't like something went up and there was a pause. You know what I mean? It really just..." Vela "Yeah it really just flowed really nicely. They did a really good job" Dooley " And it just lasted so long. It was great. I know that in our last year. The minutes did not reflect the amount that, it was in my written notes. But that doesn't count because it's in my written notes. But I do think that we need to approve an amount to give Take to spend just because it was not in the minutes last year." Vela "Right." Dooley "Like I said, it was in my handwritten notes but..." Murakami "It was in the recorded minutes." Dooley "Yes." Vela "Yes. It was." Jackson "What's the process between recorded and written? How does that work?" Murakami "The City Clerk basically transcribes everything and puts it out." Vela "Right." Murakami "And if they don't transcribe it properly, it doesn't get put out." Jackson "So, is it just summarized or something, not all the details?" Dooley "Ruanna has been putting in word for word." Vela "She has, her minutes have just been phenomenal." Jackson "Do they still use a Dictaphone?" Dooley "Yes.

That's what we have these for." Vela "What you can do Michelle is office 365 now has dictation, so you can actually read it. You know, either hold the mic up there and have it type it or you can read it." Jackson "Oh something can just listen to it and..." Vela "Yes, that's what Al is coming into effect." Jackson "But with Al l see errors in weird ways. Vels "You just got to watch what you're doing, but it will do it for you. I mean, I'm sitting there working on my agenda and the TV's on and it's picking up everything that's on the TV says. With Jen saying we need to approve a dollar amount. $10,00 right now would give us what we need, correct?" Murakami "In addition to the $6,000 that's in there. Is that what you're suggesting?" Vela "Yes." Dunn "There is $16,00 in there right now. You mentioned giving some of that money possibly to the spay and neuter for the felines as seed money for that. You guys have to decide. We've got the $6,000 in donations so far." Murakami "So that's not included in that $16,000?" Dunn "That is not included in the $16,000." Jackson "can I just say something about the seed money thing? What if something goes wrong with the pool? Like it needs some kind of repair or something. Can we wait just a little bit on the spay and neuter thing?" Vela "Yeah. Sure. So, I'm thinking $10,000. And then there is $6,000 left in that account and then Dave says there's what? $6,000 coming in?" Dunn "It's already here." Vela 'It's already here. We've got enough money for the deposit and then some. We just need to start marketing and getting the other people to get things going and just make it happen." Dunn "Are we going to do like last year and when donations come in we replenish it?" Vela "Yes." Dunn "That $10,000 first?" Vela "Yes. Well all of those funds should come into that." Dunn "Well it's in LAIF right now. It's $16,000." Vela "Okay." Dunn "What we did last year is we took that $12,500 out and then when the first $12,500 in donation, replaced it." Vela "Okay. Let me ask you a question. In our GL structure, do we have a Freedom Festival GL?" Dunn "No. We do not." Vela "My recommendation would be to create a Freedom Festival GL. Take that money out of LAIF. Put it in there the $10,000. The 6000 we have? Put it in there. That way we have running track of what's coming in, what's going out of that GL." Dunn "That's a ask Charlie tomorrow when we talk to him..." Vela "Yeah. Because otherwise things get intermingled and twisted." Dunn "I tried to get one of those last year..." Smith "I know we talked about it" Vela "I know we talked about it... " Dunn "Will would not do it." Vela "Will was..." Dunn "I know, but, that who was supposed to do it for us and he did not." Vela "So, we could have Dave Wallace or Charlie. It's going to be a marketing account for the Freedom Festival and it needs to be set up as a GL coming in and outgoing." Dunn "So he needs the $16,000. That's what it is basically because there is $16,000 in the one account and we've gotten $6,000 already." Vela "Okay. So..." Dunn "How much do you want to allow?' Vela "Allow $10,000 out of the $16,000 and we have $6,000 somewhere else?" Dooley "Well, 'm still stuck on half of $25,000 is $12,500. Why are we only approving $10,000?" Dunn "Because, I understand where Pat's going. There is in the Parks and Rec account." Dooley "Got it." Dunn "Take has already got $6,000 in addition to that. So, they are saying that $16,000. So he'll have the $6,000 that he's gotten money for already and then $10,000from the Parks and Rec account will make the $16,000." Dooley "So there would still be $6,000..." Vela "There would still be $6,000..." Dunn "$6,000 in the Parks and Rec LAIF account." Vela "Exactly, and that way that LAIF account is designed to..." Dunn "It's really weird math." Vela "It is." Dooley "You're shuffling it around but.." Vela "It creates a way of tracking." Murakami "So, when I get more money that comes in though from the sponsors?" Vela "That will go into the Freedom Festival account." Dooley "But if you have to get 50% of our fireworks that's not $10,000." Vela "No, I'm just saying..." Dunn "He also has that $6,000 he already got money for already." Vela "Right. So there will be extra money in there for him to be able to..." Jackson "What else do you have to put a deposit on?" Dunn "Everything." Dooley "I would think everything..." Dunn "We have to get different bathrooms this year for the vendors." Murakami "Port-a-potties" Vela "I'm saying if we give $10,000 we have a little bit of cush in that GL. So if we give $10,000 we are only going to use, and then plus $6,000, that's $16,000." Murakami "The only thing I am intending on using money for, for the entire Freedom Festival is the fireworks, paying overtime for employees and for the Sheriffs office like we did last year, port-a-potties, and possibly some entertainment. If we do entertainment this year..." Jackson "I have an idea. What if we did like a battle of the bands type of thing so people would still be playing music...because it was all over there. If it was closer people would have danced. People like to dance." Murakami "I don't know if we are even going to have, l haven't talked to..." Vela "Local entertainment is what..." Murakami "I haven't talked to Bill about getting the stage even. So if we can't get the stage, if the fair is mad at us, they wont give us the stage." Jackson "Are they mad at us?" Murakami "Well, they were down by 25% last year after the Freedom Festival.

Jackson "I think that's because of cost too. Going to the fair, price is ridiculous." Murakami "They laid it at our feet though..." Jackson "Well, I'm laying right back theirs. Because I know we didn't go that much and we waited for the day we could go in." Dooley "This year the fair is going to be down regardless of if we have a festival or not because they can't show poultry or beef this year." Murakami "They already decided to move it to June. The month before the Freedom Festival. So they are before us instead of after us." Jackson "I think people just want to have fun and see the fireworks." Vela "So the carnival thing is going to have to go somewhere else next year. For 26." Dooley "Yeah. Because the fair will happen in June next year, right?" Vela "Right. So 2026 is going to be a totally different scenario." Jackson "I still think it will be a really good event because..." Murakami "People will still come. Our event is a holiday event that centers around..." Vela "And what day is the parade this year?" Jackson "I think it's more affordable..." Murakami "It's Friday." Vela "Friday?" Murakami "Yeah. There is no door charge." Jackson "Yeah, that's the thing, getting into the fair is ridiculous." Murakami "Right. So, regardless of anything we are always going to pull people for our event.

Regardless of whatever is going on around us." Jackson "Well there is so many kids just walking around town. How fun to be a young person. Normally here there is not really a place to go and now they can do something cool." Murakami "That's ultimately why I wanted a carnival. Because it gives us the staying power instead of people all rushing in to watch the fireworks and then leave." Vela "So have you gotten any commitment from any carnivals?" Murakami "Our previous carnival had made a commitment to us. I'm still talking to them about it. But they seem to be trying to not. But I have been talking to quite a few different carnivals and some of them said they would likely come." Jackson "Well now you have some numbers you can give them and stuff." Murakami "Right." Vela "So, it would be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday?' Murakami "Yes. And I think that the issue is that the fair wants Paul back." Dunn "We said that last year." Murakami "Yes. That's what the issue is with Paul. And so that's why he's...he sent me an email that they were going to come back and all this kind of stuff and now he's trying to back out of it. So..." Vela "Just so you guys know. I heard rumor that the Rain Rock was going to do something this 4'h of July, but I did get ahold of Eddy Harrison. He is the event coordinator and they are not doing any fireworks." Dunn "Oh, good." Vela "Yeah. I physically talked to him." Dunn "I was wondering if they were going to sponsor this year." Vela "I just wanted to make sure..." Murakami "I need to go talk to them again because they were one of our sponsors last year. They just didn't want name said. So we'll see what we can do. I think we're going to have more than enough money. Because if everyone comes back that sponsored us last year...that was nearly $35,000, nearly." Dunn "A lot of the music was expensive." Vela "Yeah. We don't need all that again." Dunn "If we don't have that we can put money towards the pool." Veal "Yeah, we just need to get some vendors and maybe purchase a tent or two." Dunn "if we start putting it out there now we can start getting vendors immediately. Because I know I was asked at Easter about it." Vela "Well we need to do it." Dunn "I said | did not have an answer at that time." Murakami "Yeah. Well if I can get the money to order the fireworks that pretty much assures that we're going to have something happening. So we can start to advertise it and ask vendors if they want to come. Dooley "So if we approve $10,000 tonight is that enough to give them a deposit?" Murakami "Sure. Along with the $6,000 that I already have already brought in." Dooley "So what is the total amount we need to approve tonight for Take to be able to order the fireworks?" Vela "I think we need to approve $10,000 out of that LAIF account and make sure it gets into the Freedom Festival GL." Dunn "$10,000 out of the LAIF account and the $6,000 that has already been committed.." Murakami "Well, I don't have to ask for that, that's what it's for." Vela "No. Right, we need to make sure that it's included in the money so we know it's there." Dooley "Right. So, $10,000 out of the LAIF account to go together with the $6,000 already donated. Out of Parks and Rec?" Vela "Right. And we want to create a GL for the Freedom Festival to track all funds along with that proposal. Dooley "I would like to see us, not tonight necessary because it's not on the agenda, but I would like to see us give some seed money to Essex for their spay and neuter clinic. So, if we could talk about it next meeting." Jackson "I would like to see if maybe in the fall. It's just that pool's old and if something goes wrong..." Dooley "Oh. Sure." Murakami "You know.

The information I got was that they went to all the other cities in the county and hit them up for money but only a couple cities gave them money but they still did events in their towns. And so I have some questions about that. I am just saying I think we need to do a little more research on that before we commit any monies." Vela "And she said she'd be up for another meeting." Dunn "The 13th at Rail Road Park we are doing the rabies at 5. They want to meet a hour early and discuss the clinic." Vela "And this is Essex?" Dunn "Yes." Dooley "We need to approve who we want to purchase the fireworks from and Take being able to spend the money. Is that right?" Vela "Yeah." Dooley "I will make the motion that we approve Fireworks America for fireworks this year in addition to that I will make a motion that we approve $10,000 out of the LAIF account to spend for the deposit on the fireworks and $6,000 donated to Parks and Recs for the Freedom Festival." Jackson "'II second it." Motion made by Dooley. Seconded by Jackson. All Ayes.

VII. ADJOURN: @ 7:23 PM Motion made by Jackson. Seconded by Dooley. All Ayes.

The State Fire Marshall shall then designate moderate, high, and very high FHSZ's in each city and shall publish a map showing those zones. The State Fire Marshal has published such map and the City has posted such map at https://cityofmontagueca.gov/news-and- notices/montague-hazard-severity-zones-map/. State law requires that each city adopt by ordinance the map showing moderate, high, and very high FHSZ's.

Recommendation

Waive the full reading and read by title only for adoption an Ordinance Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones as recommended by the State Fire Marshal and amend Title 15 of the Montague Municipal Code to add Chapter 15.38 "Fire Hazard Severity Zones" (Attachment 1.A):

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

YREKA, CALIFORNIA ADOPTING THE FIRE HAZARD
SEVERITY ZONE MAP AND AMENDING TITLE 11,
CHAPTER 11.10 AS "FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES"
Discussion/Analysis
Fire Hazard Severity Zone Designation
395344.1
Fire Hazard Severity Zone Ordinance
June 5, 2025

In September 2021, Senate Bill 63 was approved by the California Legislature to amend California Government Code Section 51178 to direct the State Fire Marshal to identify fire hazard severity zones (FHSZ) in the state as moderate, high, and very high FHSZ's.

This law became effective on January 1, 2022. It requires the State Fire Marshal to create FHSZ's based on the severity of the fire hazard that is expected to prevail in each local area considering consistent statewide criteria. The designation of moderate, high, and very high FHSZs are based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors that have been identified by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Additional background information from Cal Fire is provided as Attachment 2.A.

Information from the California Department of Insurance regarding Q&A's about Insurance and Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps is provided as Attachment 2.B.

In September 2022, Assembly Bill 211 amended California Government Code Section 51179 by requiring local agencies to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high FHSZs within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.

An agency may not adopt a FHSZ that decreases the level of fire hazard severity zone as identified by the State Fire Marshal for any area within the jurisdiction of the local agency, and may only increase the level of fire hazard severity zone as identified by the State Fire Marshal for any area within the jurisdiction of the local agency. (Gov. Code sec. 51179(b)(3)).

In February 2025, the Office of the State Fire Marshal released the FHSZs in Local Responsibility Area map for review. The map is attached to this staff report and identifies moderate, high, and very high FHSZs within the City of Montague. The map was posted on the City website and mentioned by the Fire Chief at prior City Council meetings.

Fire Hazard Severity Zone Ordinance
June 5, 2025

Though State law does not allow a local agency to decrease the FHSZ designation, a local agency may increase the designation of a particular area if a local agency can make findings that it is necessary for the effective fire protection within the area. (Gov.

Code sec. 51179(b)(1) and (2)). Such discretion can allow an agency to apply very high, high, and moderate designations to areas not otherwise identified in the map prepared by the State Fire Marshal.

Staff has reviewed the proposed map and is not recommending any changes to include any parcels not otherwise designated as moderate, high and very high FHSZ's as proposed by the State Fire Marshal. Accordingly, no change to the severity zones in the State Fire Marshal's proposed map is being recommended.

In order to adequately provide for the effective fire protection in the area and administration of this ordinance and map, staff is presenting for consideration in the ordinance an interpretative note that when any parcel has more than one FHSZ designation on that parcel as depicted on the adopted map, the highest FHSZ designation shall be applied to the entire parcel. For example, a parcel containing both a high and very high hazard designation will be administered as very high FHSZ. This interpretation will prevent different building and property maintenance codes applying for different areas of a parcel. It will also prevent confusion among staff in which standard to apply. All modifications are made in accordance with the California Government Code, ensuring that FHSZs were not downgraded.

In support of such provision and designations of the very high FHSZ, the following analysis is required pursuant to Government Code Section 51182. Staff has determined that pursuant to section 51182 the following do make it necessary for effective fire prevention of the area that this provision be adopted for following reasons :

June 5, 2025

To maintain defensible space of 100 feet from each side of an occupied dwelling or occupied structure.

2. To remove portions of a tree that extends within 10 feet of the outlet of a chimney or stovepipe.

3. To prevent maintaining a tree, shrub, or other plant adjacent to or overhanging a building free of dead or dying wood.

4. To maintain the roof of the structure free of leaves, needles, and other vegetative materials.

5. Certifying that a new occupied structure or rebuilding an existing occupied structure complies with all applicable state and local building codes.

Municipal Code Amendments
Staff recommends adding Chapter 15.38 to Title 15 Buildings and Construction of the Montague Municipal Code to codify the procedure for the FHSZ designation recommendations from the State Fire Marshal.

MONTAGUE AND
City of Montague 2024 Income Survey
Overview
This Income Survey was conducted to determine if the City of Montague qualifies as a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Low-Moderate Income Area (LMA) jurisdiction because the two most recent Low-Moderate Income Data (LMISD) sets indicted the Montague no longer qualifies as an LMA jurisdiction although it had in the previous 20+ years. Low-Moderate Income Summary Data (LMISD) is based on the percentage of households reporting incomes at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The AMI is calculated for Siskiyou County as a whole and is determined annually by the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). (https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/cdbg- income-limits.html)
CDBG is funded by HUD under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (HCD Act), Public Law 93-383. The State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development, State Community Development Block Grant Program administers those funds for HUD to California non-entitlement jurisdictions. Montague is a non-entitlement jurisdiction as it has a population under 50,000.

Low-Moderate Income Data (LMISD) is used to determine if jurisdictions or block groups are eligible for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Area-Benefit Activities.

If a jurisdiction has an LMISD of less than 51%, it cannot apply for CDBG Area-Benefit Activities. These activities include building or improving:
• Public Improvements (Infrastructure/Works)-water and wastewater systems, rural utilities such as gas and electric services, roads, etc.
• Community Facilities-day care centers, domestic violence shelters, food banks, community centers, medical and dental facilities, and fire stations. • Public Services-Includes staff and operating costs.

Planning and Technical Assistance (PTA)-studies and plans for housing, public works, and community facilities that meet CDBG national objectives and provide principal benefit to low- income persons.

Until the 2011-2015 LMISD data calculations determined by the American Community Survey Data (ACS Data), the City of Montague was qualified as a Low-Moderate Area (LMA) under LMISD and therefore qualified for all state CDBG grants including the ones listed above. It was a surprise that during those data years and the subsequent data years 2016-2020 LMISD, that Montague no longer qualified as an LMA jurisdiction especially since there did not seem to be any large demographic changes.

ACS Data Set Years LMISD Percentage
2006-2010 55%
2011-2015 43%
2016-2020 45%
(https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/279eca0222754f8a954bbf8cf995a1a3, https://hud.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=ffd0597e8af24f88b501b7e7f326bedd, https://www.arcgis.com/apps/Viewer/index.html?appid=9642c475e56f49efb6e62f2d8a846a78) Great Northern Services (GNS), subrecipient, has been working with the City of Montague for over 30 years, and it conducted research on what changed. GNS found that ACS changed its methodology for calculating LMISD. As of the 2011-2015 data, they started using a smaller sample size. "The fact that the ACS has a smaller sample than the decennial Census long form means that resulting estimates have larger confidence intervals and are less precise, especially for small areas." This would explain why the 2 City of Montague 2024 Income Survey
LMISD numbers had dropped more than 10 percent. ("ACS 5-Year 2011-2015 Low and Moderate Income Summary FAQs" https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/acs-low-mod-summary-data/acs-low-mod-summary:
data-tags-2011-2015/)
Because Montague is a small rural community with a population of 1,226 (US Census 2020), it has a very small tax base that cannot self-fund medium to large infrastructure and community facility projects or conduct the planning required to implement those projects. CDBG is the most flexible grant that can fund a wide variety of necessary projects that other grant funds do not cover.

Therefore, the only way for Montague to access all CDBG funds was to conduct an Income Survey to determine if the City meets the definition of an LMA jurisdiction by having a population of 51% LMISD.

During the 2023 CDBG NOFA funding cycle, Montague applied for and was awarded a CDBG Housing Rehabilitation grant. An Income Survey was included in the grant's budget and scope of work and was conducted by GNS.

This report presents the Income Survey's findings that Montague has an LMISD of 82.43%. 3 City of Montague 2024 Income Survey
Survey Methodology
HUD and HCD offered various documents to assist jurisdictions with conducting income surveys. To guide their process, GNS utilized the HUD's Guidebook: Conducting Local Income Surveys in the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM. As a subrecipient for Montague, GNS conducted the income survey using General Administration budget from the 22-CDBG-HA-10031 Housing Rehabilitation grant. This was necessary because an income survey does not meet a CDBG National Objective for funding through a stand-alone CDBG grant, and Montague was unable to self-fund the survey. The methodology was submitted to and approved by HCD.

OBJECTIVE:

Demonstrate that the population of the service area where CDBG-funded activities are purposed meets at least 51% Low-Moderate Income (LMI).

SURVEY METHOD
• A combination of Survey123 (online), mail, and in-person. •In-person surveys were conducted for addresses that failed to respond to the mailed survey, with three attempts made for non-responses.
• Publicized the survey in advance to raise awareness and potentially increase response rates.

Assigning Unique IDs and Random Numbers:

1. Assigned 3 unique IDs per address for multiple families at the same address

2. Assigned random numbers using:
• Excel-RANDARRAY (1650(rows),1(columns), 1(low),1650(high), TRUE (interger) • Or use RANDOM.ORG https://www.random.org

SAMPLING METHOD
A Random sampling method was used to determine the minimum responses required for the service area. An "oversampling" of 200% to ensure a 95% confidence level and a margin of error (MOE) of 5%.

The MOE for Montague LMISD is 9.3%, so the MOE must be below this threshold.

Utilized the sample size calculator from Survey Monkey https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/sample- size-calculator/ and the random string generator from RANDOM.ORG https://www.random.org/strings/](https://www.random.org/strings/ Confidence/MOE # Residence T 150% 200%

ANALYSIS
• Cleaned the data: check for irregularities or unusual values and removed incomes over $1 million. • Used Survey123 and Excel to keep track of the information collected.

Maintained a case management log to track the status of each sampled address. 4 City of Montague 2024 Income Survey
• Analyzed the outcomes; outcome disposition codes determined the results of each visit by the interviewer.

DISCRIMINATION
The city took all necessary steps to ensure that the survey did not discriminate against persons with disabilities.

STAFF /INTERVIEWERS
Staff was briefed on the purpose of the income survey, definition of income, and the income levels.

Interviewers read the questions exactly as they are written. If the respondent did not understand the question or gave an unresponsive answer, the interviewer repeated the question exactly as written.

Questions were read in the order in which they were written. The respondents' answers were recorded neatly and accurately as they were provided. Before proceeding to the next interview, the interviewer submitted the questionnaire in Survey123 to be sure that every answer was clear and recorded accurately. This simple check helped to avoid the need to re-contact the respondent for clarification.

The records were secured in a locked filing cabinet at Great Northern Services City of Montague 2024 Income Survey
Survey
Because smaller geographies such as Montague tend to have low confidence intervals, GNS aimed to collect enough data to present a more accurate picture of household income in the area. To achieve this, GNS selected a 95% confidence level with a 5% margin of error. Additionally, a decision was made to oversample by 200% to ensure a sufficient number of responses. Based on 537 residential water users (determined by physical addresses), a minimum of 225 valid household responses were needed from the 450 households included in the sample list.

GNS began marketing the survey in May 2024. The flyer with the heading City of Montague located in Appendix I was mailed to the 450 households from May 1 through May 7. The flyer was derived from the template available from HUD's Guidebook. The flyer with the heading City of Montague Income Survey Coming Soon created by GNS located in Appendix II was mailed to those same households on June 25, 2024. The second flyer contained a QR Code to access the survey online. Both flyers were posted at Cortright Market, Maiyaj Asian Bistro, The HUB Community Resource Center and City Hall on June 26. The flyers were available in English as less than 5% of Montague's population speaks English less than very well.

GNS staff conducted outreach on June 26, 2024, at the USDA Commodities distribution at the Montague Methodist Church to inform residents about the survey and to hand out flyers. On August 3, 2024, GNS staff attended the Montague Community-Wide Yard Sale event in the center of town to accept paper surveys and assist residents with completing the survey online using either their personal device or a GNS provided tablet. GNS staff, fluent in English and Spanish, were available to assist in either language at both events.

The survey was available online through Survey123. GNS has an annual subscription with ESRI and is familiar with Survey123. GNS utilized HUD's Survey123 template and followed the step-by-step process to publish the survey. Paper surveys were available at Montague City Hall and Hub Communities Resource Center of Montague. GNS staff were available by phone to answer questions and to assist participants with the survey or to take respondents' answers and enter them into Survey123. GNS staff members conducted one day of in person surveys at 24 residents in September 2024.

Households were invited to participate in the survey between July 9, 2024, and October 31, 2024. On the launch date, July 9, GNS mailed 450 surveys in English (Appendix III). Spanish-language surveys were available upon request, and an online version of the survey was accessible in both English and Spanish.

To increase response rates, the survey was also included with the City of Montague's September water bill mailing. Returned surveys included address information to determine whether responses originated from the initial random sample.

As part of targeted outreach on September 20, second flyers (Appendix II) were mailed to 24 residents across three small apartment complexes who had not yet responded to the survey. On September 23, an email was sent to Webb Street Apartments, the largest of the three complexes, to inform the manager of an upcoming in-person survey effort. Door-to-door visits were subsequently conducted on September 26.

GNS received 77 online surveys, 122 paper surveys, and conducted 16 phone surveys and 24 in person surveys. A total of 239 surveys were received.
6 City of Montague 2024 Income Survey
Data Analysis
The survey collected data on household composition, income, race and ethnicity, housing tenure (rent vs. own) and the presence of senior residents within the household. For respondents who preferred not to disclose their exact household income, an alternative option was provided: they could indicate whether their total annual income fell above or below the 80% AMI threshold based on household size.

In order for a survey to be considered valid and included in the final analysis, respondents were required to complete the first three questions-confirming residency, reporting household size, and family size- and were required to either answer Question 4, asking households to report their income, or Question 5, requesting an income range relative to the AMI threshold. Questions 6 through 9, which collected demographic and housing information, were optional and did not impact whether a survey was counted toward the total valid responses by GNS.

Out of the 239 surveys received, 230 were deemed valid. 8 were deemed invalid as the surveys were incomplete. One survey was removed because there were two occupants at separate times in the same home during the survey period. The first occupant's response was chosen for the survey. Both were a household of 1 whom income qualified.

The required survey data was then manually entered into the "CDBG Income Survey Survey123 Data Entry Tool" to synthesize the data and produce the results of the survey. The Excel Worksheet did not function correctly to calculate the results. It gave a result that 100% of the family members qualified as Low Moderate Income (LMI) which clearly wasn't the case.

GNS staff conducted an analysis independently. Data that was entered into the Excel Worksheet and the cleaned raw data from Survey123 were compared and it was determined that both matched. "Sumif" functions were used to calculate the number of family members in households that were above 80% Area Median Income (AMI) and below the AMI for both sets of data. It was double checked by subtracting the "Sumif" function totals from each. All data results equaled each other and added to the total valid responses.

The 230 valid surveys represented 230 families in 229 households as there was one household that had 2 families. Of the 230 families there were 461 household members for an average of 2 persons per household. Of those 461 household members, 380 (82.43%) (Table 2) were at or below Siskiyou County's 80% AMI (Table 1).

City of Montague 2024 Income Survey
Conclusions
The City of Montague meets the definition of a Low-Moderate Area jurisdiction as the Income Survey finds that 82.43% of the population is at or below 80% of Siskiyou County's Area Median Income. This was proved by conducting a thorough Income Survey following HUD guidelines and HCD approved methodology.

The Hidden Cost of Old Hardware
The true cost of slow systems can be surprisingly high for any business. Slow workstations are estimated to drop productivity by 2.75% (13 minutes per day, or 5.5 days per year). The problem is exacerbated with server equipment, which can dramatically affect a large number of users in parallel. As a result, the 1-year ROl for replacement of old systems is often 5X to 10X. We would be happy to discuss with you how best to plan your evergreen/replacement budget.
