City Council Candidates
Background: At a recent City Council meeting, then Mayor Clure shared that she had attended a Cal Cities Conference session about how to attract quality candidates to run for City Council. She suggested that City staff research the cost of providing health insurance for members and/or increasing compensation rates. Council will discuss alternatives and direct staff.
Report By: Todd Juhasz, City Manager
Recommended Council Action: Staff seeks a recommendation from Council as relates to whether compensation rates in support of attracting quality candidates to run for open positions should be increased and if so, by how much?
Section 10.44.070 (D)
Background: At the November 14th 2022 City Council meeting, staff brought forth a recommendation to restrict parking on McCloud Ave between Mt. Shasta Blvd and Washington Drive. The major issue is the roadway width, which is inadequate to allow for safe and effective ingress and egress in the area in the event of an evacuation or emergency. Council requested staff conduct research to look at alternative options, such as one side parking. Staff will present the findings for Council discussion and direction.
Report By: Robert Gibson, Chief of Police
Recommended Council Action: Staff respectfully requests that Council approve the first reading of Ordinance CCO-23-XX Amending Municipal Code Section 10.44.070 (D), by title only, and move it to a second reading and adoption.
Center
Background: The Collier Interpretive and Information Center (CIIC) is a Joint Powers Authority made up of the nine Cities and County of Siskiyou established in 1998. They are open 5 days a week and the Center provides information to travelers about the attractions and history of the County and cities and other information with the express aim of increasing the visibility of our population centers and supporting local economic development. Council will discuss providing an annual donation to the CIIC.
Report By: Todd Juhasz, City Manager
