Please note that much of the information in this annual report relative to the Housing Element and housing production is included on specific forms prescribed by HCD (see Attachment C). Because the forms require an understanding of the instructions used to complete them, information on housing production is summarized herein.

Purpose of the General Plan
Montague's General Plan, simply described, is the City's "constitution" for development. It represents the efforts the City has undertaken to consider and address the needs and expectations of its residents relative to development in the City and to enshrine these needs and expectations in a guiding document.

This "constitution" is formatted within the legal framework established by the State at the time of adoption and is based on knowledge of existing potentials and limitations concerning the City and its planning area at that time. The General Plan was developed through establishing basic goals, policies, and programs to resolve and/or direct significant community issues. In addition to the City referring to the General Plan when dealing with matters affecting the physical, economic, and social development of the community, the document is also referred to by individuals and businesses contemplating potential development 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report Page 2
activity in the City. Goals in the General Plan also assist the City in seeking grants and other funding to address local issues and needs.

Status of the General Plan
General plans are policy documents that address seven topics of community importance prescribed by state law. As specified in Government Code Section 65302, the seven topics that must be addressed are:
land use, housing, circulation, open space, conservation, noise, and safety. Cities and counties that have "disadvantaged communities," as defined in Government Code Section 65302(h)(4)(a), are also required to address environmental justice concerns in their general plans.' Each topic is typically treated to its own chapter, or element, of the general plan, though general plans may be "adopted in any format deemed appropriate or convenient by the legislative body, including the combining of elements" (Gov. Code Sec. 65301). There are no "disadvantaged communities" within Montague's planning area that require preparation of an environmental justice element, and Montague's General Plan is comprised of an Introduction, Land Use Element, Housing Element, Circulation Element, Open Space & Conservation Element, Noise Element, and Safety Element.

Because general plans affect current and future generations, state law requires that general plans take a long-term perspective, typically 10 to 20 years into the future. Housing elements are updated separately according to statutory timelines every eight years, and Safety Elements are reviewed, and updated if necessary, following revisions to the Housing Element and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (i.e., every 5-8 years). The City of Montague General Plan was most recently updated over a 17-month period from April 2024 to November 2025 (see Table 1). As noted in the Introduction to the City's General Plan, the City of Montague General Plan "addresses planning for Montague through the year 2045." The update was prepared to ensure the General Plan continues to meet state requirements, represent the community's vision for itself, and provide the guidance necessary to accomplish this vision 2,3 Table 1

The General Plan's goals, policies, and programs are attached hereto as Attachment B, and the City's General Plan is available for review in its entirety on the City's website at:

' Government Code Section 65302(h)(4)(a) defines "disadvantaged communities" as an area identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to Section 39711 of the Health and Safety Code or an area that is a low-income area that is disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and other hazards that can lead to negative health effects, exposure, or environmental degradation. 2 HCD reviewed the City's 6' Cycle Housing Element update and found it to be "in substantial compliance with state Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq)."
3 Each General Plan element was prepared consistent with the State's General Plan Guidelines and Technical Advisories.
2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report Paye 3
Implementation of the General Plan
It is neither the purpose nor intent of this annual progress report to provide an in-depth analysis of the City's progress toward achieving or implementing every goal, policy, and program contained in the City's General Plan. Nevertheless, it is useful to periodically reflect upon the goals, policies, and programs contained in the General Plan to better assess where the City has been successful in meeting its objectives, where it could possibly do better, and if applicable, where changes to either the General Plan or direction of the City should occur. As such, Attachment B identifies the various goals, policies, and programs contained in each element of the General Plan.

It has been almost two years since the Housing Element was adopted, 16 months since adoption of the Circulation Element, Noise Element, and Open Space & Conservation Element, seven months since the Land Use Element was adopted, and four months since adoption of the Safety Element. During this period, the City has implemented or begun to implement a variety of General Plan programs. Much of the progress can be attributed to the recent Zoning Code update, which was adopted in September 2025.

While some policies and programs are implemented through the regular administration of city business, on a project-by-project basis, and in the decisions of the Planning Commission and City Council, there is still much do, and progress toward the General Plan's implementation has just begun. Progress toward implementing each Housing Element program is detailed separately in Attachment C.

Regional Housing Needs Summary
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65584, HCD developed a Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP) for Siskiyou County. At the time the RHNP was developed, HCD identified a need to accommodate two new residential units in the City of Montague over an eight-year planning period (February 15, 2023, to February 15, 2031). One unit was allocated as being affordable to Extremely Low Income households and the other unit affordable to Low Income households. As shown in Table 2 below, the City established as additional goals one unit affordable to Moderate Income households, one unit affordable to Above Moderate Income households, the rehabilitation of four units, and the conservation of five units.

Table 2
Summary of the City's Regional Housing Needs & Goals: 2023-2031 Economic Group New Construction Rehabilitation Conservation Extremely Low Income 1 1 1
Very Low Income 0 1 1
Low Income 1 2
Moderate Income 1 1
Above Moderate Income 1
TOTAL: 4 4 5
Notes: The City has not established an objective for the preservation of affordable housing, as there are no units at risk of conversion during the current planning period.

Conservation as used herein means weatherization, code enforcement, energy conservation, mobile home park preservation activities.

While the City has little control over the physical construction of dwelling units to satisfy the City's share of regional housing needs, the City must ensure that it has sufficient properly zoned land to accommodate its share of housing needs should development be proposed. If the City did not have sufficient vacant land to accommodate its share of regional housing needs at the time the Housing Element was most recently updated, the City would likely have been required to adopt a program to rezone sufficient land to meet the projected shortfall in order to have a state-certified housing element. The City, having 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report Page 4
adequate vacant land to meet its regional housing needs, was not required to adopt such a program and, therefore, no parcels must be rezoned to accommodate regional housing needs.

For the purpose of assessing the progress that has been made to satisfy projected housing needs for each economic group identified in Table 2, new housing opportunities are evaluated annually based upon an analysis of entitlements or building permits issued during the prior year. In addition, in order to determine which economic groups potentially benefit from new housing opportunities, it is necessary to define the various groups based upon State Income Limits and to establish a maximum housing affordability for each group based upon these limits (see Table 3 below). To determine the number of new housing units that are affordable to each income level, the estimated rent or property value, as determined by building permit and assessor data (if owner occupied) or sale price (if sold), is compared with the maximum monthly housing affordability or maximum affordable purchase price in Table 3 below.

Table 3
2025 State Income Limits and Home Affordability for the Various Economic Groups Maximum Annual Maximum Monthly Maximum Affordable
Economic Group Income 1,2 Purchase Price 5
Housing Affordability 3,4
Extremely Low Income $32,150 $241 $44,000
Very Low Income $46,950 $586 $98,450
Low Income $75,100 $1,314 $152,850
Moderate Income $112,700 $3,615 $311,500
Median Income = $93,900 per HCD 2 Adjusted per HUD's FY 2025 income limits briefing materials Extremely Low Income = 30% of Median Income 3 Extremely Low Income = $32,150 X 0.30 X 0.30/12 Very Low Income = 50% of Median Income Very Low Income = $46,950 X 0.3 X 0.50/12 Low Income = 80% of Median Income Low Income = $75,100 X 0.3 X 0.7/12 Moderate Income = 120% of Median Income Moderate Income = $112,700 X 0.35 X 1.1/12 4 The formulas housing affordability were determined using the criteria outlined in Sections 50052.5 and 50053 of the California Health and Safety Code. 5 The maximum affordable purchase price was determined using the affordability calculator published by the Department of Housing and Community Development, which assumes that buyers could qualify for a 30-year, 7.04 percent fixed-rate Federal Housing Administration mortgage with a 3.5% down payment in 2025.

During the current planning period (i.e., since February 15, 2023), there have been four new units added to the City's housing stock. The new units include three manufactured homes, two of which were installed on the same parcel, and a conventional single-family dwelling. All units were permitted by right, with one of the manufactured homes approved as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Based on the affordability formulas in Table 3 above, unit sizes, market rate rents, sales prices, and building permit and assessor data, two manufactured homes are considered affordable to low income households, one manufactured home is considered affordable to moderate income households, and the conventional single-family dwelling is considered affordable to above moderate income households. In addition, one of seven building permits approved in July 2024 for construction of conventional single-family dwellings was issued by the County in March 2025. Based on building permit and assessor data, development of the unit for purposes of sale, and recent comps, the dwelling unit is expected to be affordable to above moderate income households when complete. There have been no other units issued a completed entitlement or a certificate of occupancy thus far in the planning period, and no applications for new housing have been disapproved during the planning period.

Rehabilitation, Conservation, and Demolition
No housing units have been rehabilitated through the City's housing program during the current planning period, nor have any units been demolished. Three housing units have been conserved via the City's housing program through assistance with repairs and improvements. 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report Page 5
SB 2 and Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grants
The City of Montague utilized its SB 2 and LEAP grants to implement the 5' Cycle Housing Element and to update the City's planning application fees, General Plan, and Zoning Code. The SB 2 planning grant was fully utilized and there was an unexpended LEAP grant balance of $22,458.81 at the completion of the project.

Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022
No residential development applications have been submitted pursuant to the Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022.

Consultation with California Native American Tribes
In accordance with Government Code Section 65352.3, the City notified Tribes prior to the recent General Plan update for the purpose of inviting consultation and avoiding impacts to places, features, and objects described in Public Resources Code Sec. 5097.9 and 5097.993. None of the tribal representatives identified by the Native American Heritage Commission and contacted by the City requested consultation.

Historic Resources
No resources in Montague are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historic Resources, or a local register of historic places.

Affordable Housing on Faith and Higher Education Lands Act of 2023 No residential development applications have been submitted pursuant to the Affordable Housing on Faith and Higher Education Lands Act of 2023.

Conclusion
The City of Montague implements the General Plan in the regular administration of city business, on a project-by-project basis, and in the decisions of the Planning Commission and City Council. All elements of the General Plan were recently updated using a combination of SB 2 and LEAP planning grants. The General Plan meets current State requirements, represents the community's vision for itself, and provides the guidance necessary to accomplish this vision. Details regarding the City's progress toward implementing the Housing Element are included on HCD-issued forms included as Attachment C. 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report Page 6

Noise Element (2024)
Goal 1 - To protect the existing and future citizens of Montague from the harmful effects of exposure to excessive noise.

Goal 2 - To protect existing noise-sensitive land uses from encroachment by new uses that would generate noise levels which are incompatible with those uses, and to discourage new noise-sensitive land uses from being developed near sources of high noise levels.

Goal 3 - To recognize that noise is an inherent by-product of many land uses and to protect the economic base of Montague by preventing the encroachment of noise-sensitive land uses into areas affected by existing noise-producing uses.

Attachment B - General Plan Goals, Policies & Programs Page 26 Goal 4 - To provide sufficient information regarding the community noise environment so that existing and potential future noise impacts may be effectively addressed in the land use planning and project review processes.

Goal 5 - To develop strategies for abating excessive noise exposure through appropriate mitigation measures in combination with appropriate zoning to avoid incompatible land uses.

Policy 1: The noise level standards for noise-sensitive areas of new uses affected by traffic, aircraft, or railroad noise sources in Montague are shown by Table 1.

Policy 2: Where the noise level standards of Table 1 are predicted to be exceeded at new uses proposed within Montague which are affected by traffic, aircraft or railroad noise, appropriate noise mitigation measures shall be included in the project design to reduce projected noise levels to a state of compliance with the Table 1 standards at the noise- sensitive areas of the proposed uses.

Policy 3: For new developments proposed in areas exposed to railroad noise, the exterior noise level standards of Table 1 shall be increased by 5 dB DNL. This policy recognizes that railroad events, while loud, are short in duration and that, during railroad passbys, single- event noise at exterior spaces remains relatively high regardless of whether exterior noise mitigation has been implemented. As a result, the goal of this policy is to minimize the extent by which railroad noise barriers may be required near the railroad tracks in Montague.

Policy 4: The City shall encourage local law-enforcement agencies to enforce the vehicle noise level limits specified within the California Motor Vehicle Code.

Policy 5: The interior and exterior noise level standards for noise-sensitive areas of new uses affected by existing fixed noise sources in Montague are shown by Table 2. Where the noise level standards of Table 2 are predicted to be exceeded at a proposed noise-sensitive areas due to existing fixed noise sources, appropriate noise mitigation measures shall be included in the project design to reduce projected noise levels to a state of compliance with the Table 2 standards within the identified noise-sensitive areas of the proposed new development.

Policy 6: Where a project would result in the introduction of new fixed noise sources where such sources do not currently exist, the noise generation of those sources shall be mitigated so as not exceed the interior and exterior noise level standards of Table 2 at existing noise- sensitive areas in the project vicinity.

Policy 7: If a noise-generating use is proposed adjacent to vacant lands currently zoned for uses which may be developed with exterior noise sensitivity, the noise generating use shall be responsible for mitigating its noise generation to a state of compliance with the Table 2 standards using reasonable assumptions pertaining to both the likely sensitivity of the receiving land use and the noise generation of the project. At such time as that noise- sensitivity is introduced on the nearby vacant parcel(s), the proposed noise-generating use will be responsible for complying with the City's Noise Ordinance standards.

Policy 8: Due to variations in types of both noise-generating and noise-sensitive land uses, as well as variations in ambient conditions in the City, the City shall have the ability to set noise standards which are up to 5 dB higher or lower than the Table 2 standards if determined appropriate by the Planning Commission and/or City Planning department staff Attachment B - General Plan Goals, Policies & Programs Page 27 Policy 9: For capacity enhancing roadway or rail projects, the construction of new roadways or railways, or projects which will substantially increase traffic on the local roadway network, a noise analysis shall be prepared. If pre-project traffic noise levels already exceed the noise standards of Table 1 and the increase is significant as defined below, noise mitigation measures should be considered to reduce traffic and/or rail noise levels to a state of compliance with the Table 1 standards. A significant increase is defined as follows:

Pre-Project Noise Significant Increase
(DNL) (dB)
Less than 60 dB 5+ dB
60 - 65 dB 3+ dB
Greater than 65 1.5+ dB
dB
Policy 10: If noise-reducing pavement is to be utilized in conjunction with a roadway improvement project, or if such paving exists adjacent to a proposed new noise-sensitive land use, the acoustical benefits of such pavement shall be included in the noise analysis prepared for the project.

Policy 12: All noise analyses prepared to determine compliance with the noise level standards contained within this Noise Element shall:
• Be the responsibility of the applicant.
• Be prepared by qualified persons experienced in the fields of environmental noise assessment and architectural acoustics.
• Include representative noise level measurements with sufficient sampling periods and locations to adequately describe local conditions.
• Estimate projected future (20 year) noise levels in terms of the Standards of Tables 1 and 2, and compare those levels to the adopted policies of the Noise Element. • Recommend appropriate mitigation to achieve compliance with the adopted policies and standards of the Noise Element.
• Estimate interior and exterior noise exposure after the prescribed mitigation measures have been implemented.

Policy 13: Noise analyses prepared for multi-family residential projects, townhomes, mixed- use, condominiums, or other residential projects where floor ceiling assemblies or party-walls shall be common to different owners/occupants, shall be consistent with the State of California Noise Insulation standards.

Policy 14: The City's General Plan Noise Element standards contained herein are applicable to proposed new uses. For resolving conflicts between existing uses, the City's Noise Ordinance shall be applicable.

Policy 15: Where exterior noise mitigation is required to achieve satisfaction with the noise standards of either Tables 1 or 2, the following priorities for mitigation shall be observed where feasible:
• Use of setbacks or open space buffers.
• Incorporate site planning to orient and/or shield sensitive exterior areas from view of the noise source in question.

Attachment B - General Plan Goals, Policies & Programs Page 28 • If the noise source is fixed, utilize quieter equipment or implement noise control treatments at the source.
• Solid walls should be considered a last resort for the mitigation of exterior noise levels and, if feasible, should be placed on earth berms to lessen their apparent height.

Policy 16: To provide a comprehensive approach to noise control, the City shall:

A. Develop and employ procedures to ensure that noise mitigation measures required pursuant to an acoustical analysis are implemented in the project review process and, as may be determined necessary, through the building permit process.

B. Develop and employ procedures to monitor compliance with the standards of the Noise Element after completion of projects where noise mitigation measures were required.

C. The Noise Ordinance shall be amended to provide that noise standards contained therein will be consistent with the noise standards of this Noise Element.

Policy 17: To reduce impacts from groundborne vibration, all proposals for new uses which would include vibration-generating activities, or for new sensitive uses proposed in proximity to existing sources of vibration (i.e. railroad tracks), shall comply with the vibration standards established by the Federal Transit Administration Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment guidelines (FTA-VA-90-1003-06).

Policy 18: A vibration analysis prepared by a qualified specialist shall accompany all proposals for sensitive land uses located within 100 feet of the railroad tracks in Montague.

The analysis shall quantify vibration levels and compare them against the FTA vibration standards. Railroad vibration studies for projects located beyond 100 feet from the tracks shall not be required.

Policy 19: All projects that propose to use heavy construction equipment that has the potential to create vibrations that could cause structural damage to sensitive structures within 100 feet shall be required to submit a pre-construction vibration study prior to the approval of a building permit. Projects shall be required to incorporate specified measures and monitoring identified to reduce impacts. Pile driving or blasting are illustrative of the type of equipment that could be subject to this policy.

Policy 20: The following sources of noise shall be exempt from the provisions of this Noise Element:
a. Emergency warning devices and equipment operated in conjunction with emergency situations, such as sirens and emergency generators which are activated during power outages. The routine testing of such warning devices and equipment, including generators, is also exempt provided such testing occurs during daytime hours. b. All activities occurring at public schools and public school playgrounds and sporting fields, as such activities are not regulated at the local level. c. Activities at private schools, parks or playgrounds, provided such activities occur during daytime hours (7 am - 10pm).
d. Activities associated with temporary events for which a permit has been obtained from the City (i.e. parades, fireworks displays, etc.)
e. Construction and demolition activities located within 1,000 feet of noise-sensitive land uses provided they occur during normal daytime hours, excluding Sundays and Federal Holidays, subject to the conditions imposed by City permit. For construction activities, daytime hours are defined as 7 am to 7 pm. Construction activities occurring between Attachment B - General Plan Goals, Policies & Programs Page 29 the hours of 7 pm and 7 am must comply with the interior noise level standards identified in Table 2 unless an exception has been granted by the City Planning Department. f. Construction and demolition activities located beyond 1,000 feet of noise-sensitive land uses, subject to the conditions imposed by City permit. For construction activities, daytime hours are defined as 7 am to 7 pm.
g. In the event of an emergency involving agricultural activities which requires prompt action to protect crops or equipment, the City can exempt noise generated by such action from the provisions of this Element.

Connecting Travelers to Local
Businesses & Communities
Where Travelers Decide What's Next
• Direct connection to local businesses
• Promotes lodging, dining, recreation & events
• Represents towns across the county
• Reaches visitors before their plans are made
Today:
• Some business partners engaged
• More opportunities to be discovered
8 Advertising Opportunities
What we're seeing:
• Many local businesses recognize the value and
participate.
• However, many more still haven't taken advantage of
this prime visibility.
• This means missed opportunities for both travelers and our communities.
• With thousands of people passing through each week, the potential economic impact is far greater than most realize.

WHY DOES IT MATTER
Big Impact from a Small Footprint
The Collier Visitor Center plays a quiet but significant role in supporting:

1. Tourism: By driving visitors into our towns, parks, trails, and attractions

2. Local economies: Through referrals that lead to overnight stays, meals, and retail spending

3. Public safety: By sharing wildfire, weather, and travel information year-round

4. Community awareness: By educating visitors on history, natural resources, recreation, agriculture, and more
VISITOR INFORMATION CENTER 5. County identity: By offering a unified "welcome" that reflects our values and landscapes
When Boards ask, "Why does this matter to my district?" the answer is simple:

Because this center represents your community even if a traveler never drives directly through it.
11 A Shared Region Opportunity
• Serves travelers headed across Siskiyou County and beyond • Often the first point of contact for Lake Siskiyou, Klamath Basin, ENGAGING Scott Valley, Shasta Valley & more
THE • Reaches visitors before they decide where to go or spend time

AUDIENCE
• Nature Walk Interpretive Trail was added in 2025
• Expands visibility for local programs, destinations & services • Reflects the full diversity of Siskiyou County

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

CONCERNING RATE INCREASES FOR

CITY OF MONTAGUE

WATER & WASTEWATER SERVICES
Regarding Assessor's Parcel Number: (insert APN here )
Dear Customer and/or Property Owner:

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Montague City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed rate increases on Monday, February 16, 2026 at 6:30pm at the Montague Community Hall located at 200 South 11" Street, Montague, CA 96064. The hearing will cover proposed rate increases for the City's water and wastewater services in order to maintain reliable service. If adopted, the proposed rate increases will become effective as indicated on the table(s) attached with this notice.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this notice is to explain the proposed utility rate increases for City of Montague water and wastewater services. The Montague City Council directed staff to initiate a public review process as provided by Proposition 218. The Council is considering a rate increase for both water and sewer services. According to the State Constitution, Article 13D, an engineering study must be undertaken to determine the cost of operation of those systems, prior to any rate increase. The City Engineer has completed those studies and has made his recommendations to the City Council. The findings indicate the City is not charging enough to cover its costs of operation, maintenance and replacement of the water and wastewater treatment facilities and infrastructure. The actual numbers associated with those findings will be discussed later in this notice.

A public hearing to review all information and an opportunity to object to the proposed increase will be held prior to any rate hike. The council hopes you will take this opportunity to become better acquainted with the situation and are then able to make an informed decision. If you have further questions please contact the City staff and plan on attending the public hearing.

This notice is being sent to property owners in the City of Montague, based on the Siskiyou County Assessors Office as of October 2025. Property owners will receive the notice regardless whether they receive utility service or not. Each parcel number of record is entitled to one objection. This notice describes how to file a protest against the proposed rate increases. If a majority of property owners protest, the rates will not be changed. If that occurs, revenues will not keep up with the cost increases for operations, materials, maintenance and capital reserves.

Staff presented to the Montague City Council at the regular City Council Meeting on December 4, 2025 at 6:30pm for their approval of the proposed rate increases and were directed to proceed with the mailing of this Public Notice. If a majority of property owners do not protest the rate increases, then the increases will be considered by the City Council on March 5, 2026 at the Regular City Council Meeting and if approved will go into effect as indicated on the tables located within this notice. 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Montague's surface water supply is obtained from two sources. The winter source is from the Little Shasta River and the summer supply is from Lake Shastina. Water from both these sources is conveyed to the City's raw water storage ponds by the Montague Water Conservation District's system of irrigation canals.

In past years there have been upgrades to the City's Water System. In 2008 a new 1 Million Gallon water storage tank was put on line. Then in January of 2015 a new water treatment plant was incorporated into the City's Water System. These improvements replaced the old water treatment plant that had been in operation since 1975 and an old tank that had been on line since 1976.

The quality of the raw water varies depending on the source, the time of year, whether it's a drought year etc. It can be quite good or very poor and is always difficult to treat. There are a number of Federal and State regulations (more so in the case of a surface water supply) which must be met in order to provide the community with safe drinking water. Further discussion of regulations will be made later in this notice.

The majority of Montague's wastewater collection system was installed in 1953. The existing treatment facility was constructed in 1978. The treatment facility was upgraded with the addition of aeration in 1986. There have been additions to the aeration system on a continuous basis over the years to accommodate the growth in the community. The biggest problem facing the wastewater system in previous years was the high level of inflow and infiltration, during wet years, into the collection system. This issue was resolved with the replacement of several sewer mains in 2015. Currently, there is a need to begin replacing pumps and motors installed at the time of original construction of the sewer treatment plant in 1978.

RATES
The table(s) attached with this notice summarizes the proposed rate changes. These changes represent the monthly impact to the typical single family customer.

The City Council needs to come up with a rate structure that will not only adequately fund existing operation and maintenance, but also set aside money for replacement costs (capital reserve fund).

When applying for a grant or loan the City discovered that the State expects the average water bill (this is only the water portion of the monthly utility bill) to be at least 1.5% of the median family monthly income for the community. If the City is not collecting that amount, the State expects the City to increase the bill to at least that amount in order to qualify for any grants or loans.

The City staff has reviewed the water rates of surrounding communities and none of the other Siskiyou County communities have to treat their water anywhere near as extensively as Montague. Because they have spring or well water sources their costs are much lower.

The proposed rate structure has been included with this letter. Please review it, keep the above information in mind and plan on attending the Public Hearing, which will be held at Community Hall on Monday, February 16, 2026 at 6:30pm. Thank you for your support. 2 WHY ARE RATES PROPOSED TO BE INCREASED?
Revenues from rates pay for maintenance and operation of the utilities and for many capital replacement costs or upgrades. Each utility is treated as a stand alone entity in order to account for expenditures. Several factors have contributed to the increase in costs. In general for all utilities, increased costs for materials, chemicals, labor, equipment, fuel, and unfunded State and Federal mandates increase costs. Mandates add to the cost of operation but do not cover the costs that the City will incur to meet the State and Federal Mandates. In addition, as the City continues to increase in population, there are costs associated with maintaining more facilities and handling greater volumes.

Specific issues vary by utility.

The need for a rate increase in both the water and sewer bills is driven by four primary factors.

First, a significant increase in regulations has increased costs, both in monitoring and changing treatment strategies. Second, a modification or replacement of the existing sewer treatment plant because of its age and operational requirements is necessary. Third, the need to increase the rate of growth of a capital reserve fund. Lastly, just the increased cost of operating and maintaining the water and wastewater systems.

Drinking water regulations are developed by USEPA and enforced by the Drinking Water Division of the California Dept. of Public Health (CDPH). Due to pressure from the general public as well as the federal legislators, USEPA has, over the past 25 years, significantly increased the number of regulated substances in the water as well as tightened a number of existing regulations. These changes have resulted in a great deal of more required laboratory testing, which unfortunately is not free. Other regulations require operational changes at the treatment plant which impact costs. A change in Cal-OSHA regulations forced the City to change from using gas chlorine for disinfection, to using liquid chlorine.

Regulations for the wastewater plant are developed be USEPA, and enforced at the state level by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. To date increased regulations on the wastewater system have not been much of a problem even though the sewer treatment plant has had several state discharge permit violations due to the effluent, coming out of the plant, having higher levels of contaminants than are allowed by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The State in the near future will most likely mandate that the City upgrade the Sewer Treatment Plant to meet their state discharge permit, this will require that the Sewer Capital Reserve Fund be well funded, which is one of the reasons for a rate increase.

WASTEWATER CAPITAL RESERVE FUND:

The wastewater treatment plant is a much simpler system when compared to the new water treatment plant. It has much less equipment. It is mainly made up of pump lift stations, sewer treatment ponds, and aerators. There are some pumps that have reached the end of their life and will need replacement as soon as funding is available. The biggest concern in the wastewater collection system is the deteriorated condition of the homeowner's service lines.

The minimum annual contribution that should be deposited into the sewer capital reserve fund per the engineering study for capital replacement of the wastewater system is $332,344 and the amount currently being set aside is $94,454. This is only 28 percent of what is required to be able to have a reserve account that could actually fund upgrades to the current system whenever they becomes necessary. It is recommended that the City begins gradually increasing the amount being deposited into the wastewater capital reserve fund, which is again one of the reasons for the sewer rate increase.

WATER CAPITAL RESERVE FUND:

The City water treatment plant pumps at the rate of 55 million gallons a year, and runs about 17-18 hours a day in the summer and runs about 3-4 hours a day in the winter. The plant was built in 2015 and has a design life of approximately 25 to 30 years. The present value of the entire water system is approximately $13,000,000 million dollars. This includes the treatment plant, the storage tank, and the distribution piping system. A rate increase is necessary to keep up with the increasing costs of water production, system maintenance, and capital replacement.

Presently there is about $2,379,590 in the water capital reserve fund, not near enough to cover replacement costs. With the current water rates, no money is left after expenses to put into the capital reserve fund. It is recommended that the City set aside $309,154 annually for capital replacement costs, based on the engineering study. The primary purpose of the capital reserve fund is to provide for the replacement of components of the Water System as they reach the end of their design life.
(For example: A section of pipe installed in 1970 has an expected life of 100 years, so for that period, a small amount should be set aside on a monthly basis to provide funds for replacement at the end of the 70 years.)
Unfortunately that has not been done to the extent that it should have for a variety of reasons. Consequently, there is now only 50 years to accumulate the funds instead of the original 100.

Another reason for substantially increasing the capital reserve fund is that now all the grant and loan agencies are requiring that an account be in place, and be well funded, prior to any grant or loan funds being offered. This was not the case in most of the City's past grant and loan projects. Therefore, the development of a larger capital reserve fund (basically, a larger savings account) is a necessity.

A detailed Engineer's Report supporting the rate increases and additional information is available at City Hall, 230 S. 13" Street, Montague, CA 96064.

HOW DOI PROTEST THE PROPOSED RATE ADJUSTMENT?
The Montague City Council will consider these proposed adjustments at a public hearing at 6:30pm, Monday, February 16, 2026, at the Montague Community Hall, 200 S. 11" St. Montague, CA 96064.

Under State law, if you are the owner of record of a parcel or parcels subject to the proposed rate changes, you may submit a protest against any or all of the proposed rate changes by filing a written protest with the City Clerk at or before the time set for the public hearing. (Example: If you are the owner of record [APN# associated with your tax bill] for two parcels then you will have the opportunity to protest twice, once for each parcel.) (Three parcels equals three etc.) If a written protest is filed by a majority of the affected parcels owners, the proposed rate change will not be imposed.

If the party signing the protest is not shown on the last equalized assessment role of Siskiyou County as the owner of the parcel(s), the protest must contain or be accompanied by written evidence that such party is the owner of the parcel(s). A protest should also indicate which proposed utility increase is being protested: water, wastewater or both.
