CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS
All Resolutions and Ordinances on this agenda, or added hereto, shall be introduced or adopted, as applicable, by title only, and the full reading thereof is hereby waived. a. Approval of Minutes: February 26, 2024 Regular and Special Meetings b. Approval of Disbursements: Accounts Payable: 2/21, 2/27, and 3/4/2024; Total Gross Payroll and Taxes: For Period Ending 2/18/2024

d. Letter of Support for the Mt. Shasta Museum Lease
Background: After conducting a study of actual costs for snow removal in the downtown shopping areas and seeing the discrepancy with what current snow removal fees are, the City Council directed Staff to bring back a plan to Council to increase the snow removal fee for service in which businesses are billed for the final cost on a square footage basis.
Report By: Ken Kellogg, Public Works Director
Recommended Council Action: Approve Resolution CCR-24-XX Adopting the Designated Snow Removal Area Map and Establishing the Amount to be Paid in Accordance with the Mt. Shasta Municipal Code.
Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant funds Background: The RAISE discretionary grant program helps project sponsors at the state and local levels, including municipalities, Tribal governments, counties, and others, complete critical freight and passenger transportation infrastructure projects. The City of Mt Shasta is applying for RAISE grant funding again this year. We applied last year, but we were unsuccessful. However, staff spent time on the phone with U.S. DOT staff after asking for a debrief on ways that the City can strengthen our application for the 2024 cycle. Based on that information, Raftellis has rewritten the grant for us. Last year, Council agreed to spending just over $13k to write last year’s grant. Given that some of the work is duplicative of what we submitted last year, we are looking for approval to spend $6,330 for Raftelli’s grant application prep and submission.
Report By: Todd Juhasz, City Manager
Recommended Council Action: The City Manager recommends that Council approve $6,330 in grant writing work by Raftelis for a Federal RAISE grant that will support the repaving of Mt Shasta Boulevard with the addition bike and pedestrian improvements.

California Senate
Dear Senator Dodd:
The Mt. Shasta City Council strongly supports the passage of Senate Bill 1009-Dahle, authorizing the Department of Fish and Wildlife to lease historic Building A at the Mt. Shasta Hatchery to the Mt. Shasta Museum Association at no cost.
The Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum has operated at this site for over 40 years, and the public benefit from this Museum is incomparable. It serves almost 14,000 visitors every year offering cultural and scientific educational benefits to all ages.
Its visitors come from all over the world, and it recently hosted almost 150 Taiwanese university students. The Museum is an integral part of many visitor’s experience when recreating in Mt.
Shasta and Siskiyou County. Many make the trek to the Museum annually.
Its interactive exhibits engage both children and adults, and provides opportunity for a unique family learning experience. The Museum’s sponsored presentations have included history, geology, hydrology, and local culture among others, and provide an unparalleled immersion into the history of our area. They also serve as a destination for bringing the community together.
The Mt. Shasta Museum Association, as successor to the Mt. Shasta Chamber of Commerce which was originally granted a no cost lease for via Senate Bill 323, 1981, has rescued a historic building that was slated for destruction and turned it into a vibrant part of our State. It has also operated via mostly through the generous donation of collective volunteer hours for 4 decades.
This would not be possible if it were now to have to pay market rate rent on the now restored building. We strongly urge the legislature to approve Senate Bill 1009-Dahle and allow this treasure to continue educating and delighting for the next 25 or 100 years.
Sincerely,
John Stackfleth, Mayor
City of Mt. Shasta
Mt. Shasta City Council Regular Meeting March 11, 2024 28 SB 1009: Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum Lease Renewal
Taylor Brown, Legislative Aide – [email protected]
SUMMARY
This bill, designated as special
legislation would authorize the
Department of General Services to lease
property at no cost to the Mt. Shasta
Museum Association for the next 25
years.
BACKGROUND
In 1981 through SB 323, the Mt. Shasta
Chamber of Commerce leased Building
A of the Mount Shasta Fish Hatchery to
operate as an historical museum. The
community of Mt. Shasta restored the
facility to operational status with a
combination of State funds, local
donations, and an overwhelming
outpouring of volunteer labor.
The Mt. Shasta Museum Association, as
the successor lessee to the Mt. Shasta
Chamber of Commerce, has operated
the museum since July 1983 with an allvolunteer staff and funded solely by memberships, grants, and donations.
The museum has become a treasure to
the community and a focal point of
public visitation at the Mount Shasta
Fish Hatchery. The Mt. Shasta Sisson
Museum receives almost 14,000 visits a
year and has recently recorded its
500,000th visitor during its 36 years of
operation. Visitors come from all over
the State of California and the world.
The continued operation of the Mt.
Shasta Sisson Museum serves to
enhance the City of Mt. Shasta, the
County of Siskiyou, as well as the State
of California.
Issue
Due to the expiration of the original
lease agreement in 2006, the Mt. Shasta
Museum Association has been operating
the Museum for the last fifteen years
under a month to month lease
extension. The Department of Fish and
Wildlife does not have the departmental
authority under DGS protocols to enter
into a viable lease agreement for a
unique situation such as the Museum’s.
SOLUTION
The bill would allow the museum to
continue to operate as a public benefit at
no or at a nominal cost. This means the
Museum would be able to continue to
provide free or low-cost educational
programs and exhibits.

From: Public Works Director, Ken Kellogg
Subject: Resolution for Revised Snow Removal Fee in Downtown Area Background & Summary:
After conducting a study of actual costs for snow removal in the downtown shopping areas and seeing the discrepancy with what current snow removal fees are, the City Council directed Staff to bring back a plan to Council to increase the snow removal fee for service in which businesses are billed for the final cost on a square footage basis. The final cost is the actual snow removal cost minus the 50% reimbursement from the state. The billing for the final cost of snow removal will be sent out after the snow removal season and before the end of the fiscal year.

Mt. Shasta City Council Regular Meeting March 11, 2024 34 City Council Agenda Item # 9
Staff Report
Meeting Date: March 11th, 2024
To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Manager, Todd Juhasz
Subject: Approval to fund grant writing for the latest round of Federal RAISE funds Recommendation:
The City Manager recommends that Council approve $6,330 in grant writing work by Raftellis for a Federal RAISE grant that will support the repaving of Mt Shasta Boulevard with the addition bike and pedestrian improvements.
Information:
The RAISE discretionary grant program helps project sponsors at the state and local levels, including municipalities, Tribal governments, counties, and others complete critical freight and passenger transportation infrastructure projects. The eligibility requirements of RAISE allow project sponsors to obtain funding for projects that may be harder to support through other U.S. DOT grant programs.
Recent examples of funded projects include a grade separation project in Chula Vista, California, a new downtown transit center in New Orleans, and reconstruction of Route 6 on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
The City of Mt Shasta is applying for RAISE grant funding again this year. We applied last year, but we were unsuccessful. However, staff spent time on the phone with U.S. DOT staff after asking for a debrief on ways that the City can strengthen our application for the 2024 cycle.
Based on that information, Raftellis has rewritten the grant for us. Last year, Council agreed to spending just over $13k t write last year’s grant. Given that some of the work is duplicative of what we submitted last year, we are looking for approval to spend $6,330 for Raftelli’s grant application prep and submission.
In the grant application itself, the City is asking for $6.645 M in funds to reconstruct Mt Shasta Boulevard while adding new bike lanes and pedestrian improvements.
