Subject: City Policy Prioritizing Sewer and Water Service Connections for Proposed Developments that Include Housing Units Affordable to Lower-Income Households
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution CCR-25-XX (Attachment A) approving a policy (Attachment A, Exhibit A) to prioritize sewer services for proposed developments that include housing units affordable to lower-income households.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish conformance with California Government Code Section 65589.7 by memorializing written procedures for prioritizing water and sewer service needs for proposed developments that include housing units affordable to lower-income households. The City providessewage collection services and water distribution services and, as such, is subject to the conditions of Section 65589.7.
Summary:
California Government Code Section 65589.7 was amended in 2005 by Senate Bill 1087 to require public or private purveyors providing sewer collection or water distribution services to enact written policy to prioritize service connections for proposed developments that include housing units affordable to lower-income households. The policy must include specific objective standards for prioritizing water and sewer service needs for proposed developments that include affordable housing units within the City. These policies are to be revisited, updated and readopted once every five years per Senate Bill 1087.

2. Availability of the water supply as determined by the public agency or private entity pursuant to an urban water management plan adopted pursuant to Part
2.6 of Division 6 of the California Water Code.
3. Plans, documents and information relied upon by the public agency or private entity that is not an urban water supplier, as defined in Section 10617 of the California Water Code, or that provides sewer service that provides a reasonable basis for making service determinations.

CITY POLICY STATEMENT
Prioritizing Sewer and Water Service Connections for Proposed Developments that Include Housing Units Affordable to Lower-Income Households Statement of Policy
In accordance with Senate Bill 1087 and California Government Code Section 65589.7, the City shall grant sewer and water service priority within their respective service areas to proposed developments that include housing units affordable to lower-income households.
The following definitions shall apply to this policy:
1) "Proposed developments that include housing units affordable to lower-income households" means that dwelling units shall be sold or rented to lower-income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, at an affordable housing cost, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, or an affordable rent, as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code.
2) "Water or sewer services" means the supply of a service through a pipe or other constructed conveyance system for residential purposes. This does not include the resale of water for human consumption from one water supplier to another. This also does not include passing sewerage from one sanitary agency's collection system to another.
The policy shall be implemented and enforced per the conditions herein:
1) The City shall not deny or condition the approval of an application for water or sewer services to, or reduce the amount of such services applied by, a proposed development that includes housing units affordable to lower-income households unless the City makes specific written findings that the denial, condition or reduction is necessary due to one of the following:
a. The City is operating under a water shortage emergency as defined by Section 350 of the Water Code.
b. The City does not have a "sufficient water supply", as defined by Section 66473.7(2)(a) of the California Government Code.
c. The County Water Authority has declared Drought Response Level 5 prohibiting new water service connections.
d. A written engineering analysis and report demonstrate the existing water distribution system does not have sufficient water distribution capacity to serve the proposed development.
e. A written engineering analysis and report demonstrate the existing sewerage collection system does not have sufficient collection capacity to serve the proposed development.
f. A written engineering analysis and report demonstrates the wastewater treatment plant does not have sufficient treatment capacity for the sewerage generated by the proposed development.
g. The State Water Board Division of Drinking Water, State Water Resources Control Board, Regional Water Quality Control Board and/or the County Department of Environmental Health and Quality issues an order to the City that prohibits new water connections or to the City that prohibits new sewer 37 connections.
h. The applicant has failed to agree to reasonable terms and conditions relating to service from the City, including but not limited to, the requirements of local, state or federal laws, codes, standards, regulations or payment of a fee or charge imposed pursuant to Section 66013. 2) The City may revisit, revise (if necessary) and readopt an update to these procedures and policies at least once within five years of the issuance date. 38 Agenda Item #10
Staff Report
Meeting Date: March 10th, 2025
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Subject: Consider the publication of an RFP in support of statistical research firm to complete survey work, ballot language, and outreach for a new tax measure.
Recommended Action:
Approve the publication of an RFP in support of hiring a statistical research firm in support of a tax measure to be placed on the ballot at the appropriate time.
Summary:
As staff has mentioned previously, a successful tax measure requires building a ‘runway’ before it is balloted. This time or ‘runway’ is needed in order to determine the appropriate amount that is likely to pass, to determine the wording of the measure, what the measure will fund, and to build general community support. For many cities this work is done with guidance from a statistical research firm with expertise in political campaigns and tax measures. The need is greater when recent measures have failed, as the next measure is more likely to fail without taking the aforementioned steps.
Many of these firms base their recommendations on Loss Aversion Bias. The theory was coined by Daniel Kahneman, a behavioral economist who won the Nobel Prize for his work on the theory. Loss Aversion Theory posits that the pain of losing something is about twice as painful as the pleasure of gaining. In other words, people are more willing to take risks to avoid a loss than to make a gain.
For our purposes, crafting tax measure language is more persuasive if it is written in terms of what citizens will lose as opposed to what is gained. For those that are interested, Loss Aversion Bias and other compelling science are discussed in the book: “Thinking Fast and Slow,” written by the aforementioned Dr. Daniel Kahneman.
The City Manager recommends publishing an RFP seeking qualified firms to accomplish three specific tasks:

Closed
Presentation
39 1) Conduct a voter opinion survey in Mt Shasta to gauge the viability of a measure and to test which messages persuade voters scientifically.
2) Along with legal counsel, draft the ballot label, language, and arguments needed to appear on the ballot
3) Develop and implement an outreach plan to community influentials to gain support and buy-in well before election day.
A $60k not-to-exceed budget is recommended for the RFP. 40 CITY OF MT. SHASTA

Todd Juhasz, City Manager
Jeff Mitchem, Planning Director
DATE: March 10, 2025
SUBJECT: Downtown Economic Enhancement Program
DESCRIPTION
Commence a deep dive discussion on desired scope for an economic enhancement program for the downtown district.
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY
Initiative Timing. The timing of this initiative is induced by recent City planning and development milestones, including:
- The recently certified Mt Shasta 2023-31 Housing Element, - The need for a General Plan Update,
- Recent acceleration in progress on The Landing,
- SORA’s Sustainable Recreation Plan (South Siskiyou Sustainable Recreation Plan — SORA), - Potential changes to downtown circulation and public space (Castle Street, Couplet, Lake St, parklets, etc.)
- City Council’s conveyed intent to accelerate support for businesses and housing.
Initiative Purpose. These milestones provide the City with an opportunity to focus purposedriven action over the near-term (2-5 years) as a blueprint for what the City can do to better support and generate economic activity within the City. With a geographic focus on downtown (initially), the process would be collaborative between City Council, Staff and Community to develop:
What could we do better?
- Action Items. Establish priority initiatives (Economic Priorities) for the near-term future.
Examples include business support, housing inducement, public space upgrades, recreation and tourism, etc.
How do we improve?
- Action Tasks. Develop the necessary procedures and operations (Action Objectives) to 41 achieve that future. Examples include proactive merchant/resident engagement, communication (digital and in-person), enhanced coordination, grant funding, etc.
When do we achieve success?
- Action Performance. Determine how that future is to be realized (Success Metrics).
Examples include reduced permit review time, increased tourism revenue, expanded tax base, etc.
Framework for City Action. The Downtown Economic Enhancement Program would serve as a guide for Staff and City Council to help focus and coordinate priority actions to best support businesses and housing initiatives downtown. Categorically, actionable initiatives can be summarized as follows:
- Approval Regulations
Clear and objective requirements for approval of planning and building permits. - Submittal Requirements
Pre-approved documents for infill development.
- Review Process
Efficient ministerial / discretionary approval process. - Implementation Partnerships
Leverage opportunities for resources to execute projects large and small.
Next Steps. Should Council so direct, Staff will prepare a recommended action framework to facilitate focused discussion at a future public meeting. The framework would include 1) Action Items – a list of action initiatives derived from current Council priorities and Staff workload; 2) Action Progress – a framework for Staff and Council action necessary to advance the initiatives; 3) Action Timing – explicit objectives and timing to achieve measurable outcomes. 42 Agenda Item #12
Staff Report
Meeting Date: March 10th, 2025
To: City Council
From: City Manager
Subject: Discussion on Whether to Withhold TBID Funds from the County if they Stop Plowing Everitt Memorial
Recommended Action:
Approve Withholding TBID Funds From the County Should they Decide to Stop Plowing Everitt Memorial Highway.
Summary:
Our elected Board of Supervisor’s (BOS) representative for the City of Mt Shasta has stated at Council and in conversation that the City of Mt Shasta “will have to” take over snow plowing Everitt Memorial Highway from Siskiyou County. The County has no standing to make this claim as the US Forest Service granted an easement to the County for Everitt Memorial Highway on August 8th, 1974. Within the easement language it states that the County will use the roadway “right-of-way for the purposes of construction, operation, and maintenance of a highway.” In other words, the County is responsible for the maintenance and operation of Everitt Memorial Highway.
While the City and County face budget shortfalls, it is in both entities’ interest to work together to develop creative solutions to fund and staff snow plowing operations, as both benefit from the tourism dollars that are generated from wintertime activities.
Should the BOS unilaterally decide to stop plowing the roadway, the City of Mt Shasta would seek injunctive relief for the County’s failure to fulfill their responsibilities. In addition, Mt Shasta contributes 2% of TOT revenue generated within the City to the Discover Siskiyou Tourism Improvement District which supports tourism in the County.
