Recent data indicate the U.S. economy is proceeding through 2025 with slower momentum and increased uncertainty. Second quarter inflation pressures have eased, though core prices remain above target levels. The labor market shows signs of improved equilibrium, with strong hiring offset by increasingly higher jobless claims.
As fiscal policies take effect, the Chandler team expects the Federal Reserve to begin a gradual normalization of monetary policy, which may coincide with a steepening the yield curve.
The Federal Reserve projected no immediate changes from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) for the May meeting signaling that the Federal Funds Rate stays at the range of 4.25 - 4.50%. Fed Chair Powell continues to emphasize the Committee’s “wait and see” approach amidst an uncertain macro environment where economic data continues to show resilience, while concerns over a tariff-led increase in unemployment and inflation remain elevated.
US Treasury yields declined, and the curve steepened in April. The 2-year Treasury yield declined 29 basis points to 3.60%, the 5-year Treasury fell 22 basis points to
3.73%, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell 5 basis points to 4.16%. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve widened to +56 basis points at April month-end versus +32 basis points at March month-end. The spread between the 2-year Treasury and 10-year Treasury yield one year ago was -36 basis points. The spread between the 3-month and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve was -13 basis points in April, versus -9 basis points in March.
In April, the U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened notably, reflecting uncertainty surrounding fiscal policy and shifting expectations for monetary policy. The curve widened from 41 basis points at the start of the month to 57 basis points by month-end, driven largely by rising long-term yields. The 20-year Treasury touched 5%, while the 30-year briefly topped 4.90%. Shorter-term yields remained anchored below 4%, with the 2-year and 3-year notes hovering around 3.92% and 3.98%, respectively. Despite the steepening trend, yields across the curve moved modestly lower later in the month amid easing inflation concerns and improving risk sentiment. Market participants dialed back expectations for aggressive rate cuts, with federal funds futures in April pricing in three to four quarter-point reductions in 2025. However, the Chandler team projects a more cautious trajectory for rate adjustments, as the Federal Reserve weighs lingering inflation pressures against signs of slowing growth.

Chandler Asset Management | 800.317.4747 | chandlerasset.com | Page 2 Housing starts rose 1.6% in April to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.361 million units. Single family starts fell 2.1%, while multi-family starts increased 10.7%. Total starts dropped 1.7% compared to April 2024. Falling consumer confidence, uncertainty around the cost of materials, and elevated mortgage rates continue to challenge homebuilding.The Freddie Mac 30- year fixed rate mortgage averaged approximately 6.7% in April. According to the Case-Shiller 20-City Home Price Index, housing prices rose 4.5% year-over-year in February, compared to 4.7% in January. Limited inventory, elevated mortgage rates, and lack of affordability continue to weigh on the housing market.
The U.S. economy added 177,000 jobs in April, exceeding consensus expectations, and the last two months were revised down by 58,000. Gains were led by education and health services. The three-month moving average and six-month moving average payrolls totaled 155,000 and 193,000 respectively. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.2% in April, and the labor participation rate edged up to 62.6%, remaining below the pre-pandemic level of 63.3%. The U-6 underemployment rate, which includes those who are marginally attached to the labor force and employed part time for economic reasons edged down to
7.8% in April from 7.9% in March. Average hourly earnings remained steady with a 3.8% year-over-year increase in April.
Advance Retail Sales edged up 0.1% month-over-month in April, slowing from a 1.7% gain in March. Consumers cut back spending on cars, sporting goods, and other imported goods.Control group sales, which feeds into gross domestic product, declined by 0.2% in April. On a year-over-year basis, Retail Sales grew 5.2% in April following a 5.2% increase in March. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index declined for the fifth straight month in April to 86.0, down from 93.9 in March, driven primarily by weakening future expectations for income, business, and labor market conditions. While the consumer has been resilient, rising inflation expectations, concerns about trade policies and tariffs, and general economic and policy uncertainty could pose potential risks to future spending.
In April, price increases measured by both the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy components, came in lower than consensus expectations. The headline CPI increased 0.2% month-over-month and rose 2.3% year-over-year, while the Core CPI rose 0.2% month-over-month and 2.8% year-over-year. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index was unchanged from the previous month and rose 2.3% year-over-year in March.
The Core PCE deflator, which excludes food and energy and is the Fed’s preferred gauge, was also flat month-over-month and up 2.6% year-over-year, down from February’s 3.0% year-over-year increase. Inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF MT SHASTA
AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 7.60.010
DESIGNATION OF VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES
WHEREAS, in 1995, the City Council adopted Ordinance CCO-95-09 designating Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones; and

Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 23, 2025
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Malisa Dodd, Finance Director
Subject: Establishment of Appropriations Limits for 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Recommendation:
We respectfully request that Council review the choice of inflation factors and calculation of the appropriations limit and adopt Resolution CCR-25-XX, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mt. Shasta Establishing an Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
Background & Summary:
The voters of the State of California amended the Constitution with Proposition 4 adding Article XIII B in the early 1980's to require cities to establish an absolute limit for appropriations from the proceeds of taxes during a fiscal year. This was primarily to prevent jurisdictions from circumventing the intent of Proposition 13 by using debt financing. This limit applies only to the proceeds of taxes and does not affect the utility enterprise funds that are supported by user fees and charges. The limit for the City is quite high, in fact it is more than double the City’s General Fund revenues and is not likely to ever have an impact on operations, unless the City were to undertake an unusually large capital project in the General Fund.
The limit is based on a base year amount that is adjusted each year for population growth and inflation. The figures for population growth are provided by the State Department of Finance each year. Jurisdictions then have a choice of the measure of inflation that they use to calculate the limit.
During the last year the population of Mt. Shasta decreased slightly by .70% according to the Department of Finance estimates, going from 3,202 to 3,179. The trend has seen slight decreases in the last few years.
We used the growth in per capita personal income factor for calculating an allowable increase in the appropriations limit of .80% for the upcoming fiscal year. The calculated appropriations limit for 2025-2026 is $10,707,120 which is well above the projected General Fund expenditures of $6.47 million.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF MT. SHASTA
ESTABLISHING AN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026
WHEREAS, Article XIII-B of the California Constitution requires that an appropriations limit be established for all proceeds of taxes accruing to state or local governments each fiscal year; and WHEREAS, Article XIII-B specifies that the appropriations limit may be increased by the growth in population, and either the growth in statewide per capita personal income or the growth in assessed value of non-residential property due to construction; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Mt. Shasta selects the percentage change in California per capita personal income of .8% as the cost-of-living factor to be used in calculating the appropriations limit; and
WHEREAS, the City of Mt. Shasta has had a population change of -.70% by the California Department of Finance’s estimate as of January 1, 2025; and
WHEREAS, the City of Mt. Shasta using these two factors has calculated the required appropriations limit for 2025-2026.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mt. Shasta that the appropriations limit for all proceeds of taxes is established for fiscal year 2025-2026 at Ten Million seven hundred seven thousand one hundred twenty dollars (10,707,120).

Subject: Contract with Green Dot Transportation to prepare a grant application for engineering Lake Street active transportation improvements Recommended Action:
Approve funding not to exceed $29,514 for Green Dot Transportation to prepare a grant application for engineering active transportation improvements on Lake Street.
Background:
The City is looking to submit for grant funding from CalTrans for the completion of Plans, Specifications, and Engineering (PS&E) for the Lake Street Active Transportation improvements.
The work would be funded via Gas Tax dollars.
As Council likely recalls, the City was awarded a first round of CalTrans grant funding to complete the planning, conceptual design, and outreach for active transportation projects along Lake Street.
Since GreenDot Transportation’s owner completed the first round of work, has extensive contacts at CalTrans District 2, and served as the Siskiyou County’s Local Transportation Commission’s Executive Director, GreenDot is best positioned and most qualified to prepare the grant application (and possibly the PS&E work).
If awarded a second round of funding, GreenDot will complete the grant application. If the City is awarded funding, PS&E will be completed in time to ensure that the proposed active transportation improvements are taken into consideration when Lake Street is reconstructed. As a reminder, the City has State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) funds to complete the reconstruction of Lake Street between the on/off ramps and roughly Rockfellow Drive.
Staff recommend the approval of the grant writing proposal for the completion of PS&E for Lake Street active transportation improvements.

CALTRANS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM GRANT
APPLICATION ASSISTANCE (CYCLE 8)
Dear Todd,
Green DOT Transportation Solutions is pleased to offer our services for the development of an application for Cycle 8 of the Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP) for the Lake Street for All project. Green DOT is familiar with the Active Transportation Program and has assisted several Northern California communities with applications to the program, securing more than $20 million over previous cycles. Prior to the call for projects during each ATP Cycle, Green DOT participates in the ATP Guidelines adoption process, which allows us to advocate for improvements that benefit small rural communities and positions us to assemble competitive materials for each component of the application package.
Green DOT will ensure that the ATP Cycle 8 application meets established and updated criteria and will stay abreast of program and schedule updates. Green DOT will maintain continuous communication with the City of Mt. Shasta in the application development process and will establish clear review milestones to ensure the final, robust application is submitted by the Cycle 8 program deadline of June 15, 2026.
Our project team will ensure the project meets the Active Transportation Program objectives:
• Increase the proportion of trips accomplished by walking and bicycling. • Increase the safety and mobility of nonmotorized users. • Enhance public health by improving air quality and increasing access to active modes of transportation.
• Advance active transportation efforts to achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals. • Support equitable investment in underserved communities’ safety needs, including small and rural communities.
The development of the grant application will have two (2) stages of formal review: Draft Application and Final Draft Application. The application will include, but not be limited to the following:
• Application narrative responses
• Documentation of required community data
30 • Maps and figures, which may include but not be limited to: Project Area, Gap Closure, Barrier Removal, Collision Data, and Neighboring Schools
• Letters of Support
• Caltrans coordination and supplemental documentation
• Photos of Existing Conditions
• Documentation of Previous Plans, Studies, and Outreach • Scope of Work
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work was developed in close alignment with the format of the ATP application, with much of the work being conducted under Task 2 General Application Questions, Task 3 Application Narrative Questions, and Task 4 Attachments. The application questions for the previous ATP Cycle can be found at this link: https://catc.ca.gov/-/media/ctc-media/documents/programs/atp/list-of-all-applicationquestions-medium-infrastructure-a11y.pdf.
Task 1. Administration
Green DOT will schedule meetings with the City to coordinate development of application materials, review data, and reach consensus on project and application strategy. Green DOT will also coordinate with Caltrans and other regional stakeholders, such as school districts, utility providers, and community organizations as necessary to complete required components of the ATP application. Green DOT will manage internal deadlines for draft deliverables using Smartsheet project management software and keep the City informed of any scheduling changes throughout the application development.
Task 2. Part A: General Application Questions
Green DOT will fill out the required form information for construction under the Medium Infrastructure project category. This will include a review of the autofill information on the cover page and drafting responses to questions A1 – A7, including any necessary calculations, narrative, and supporting documentation to accurately and completely fill each required field. Green DOT will coordinate with the client to ensure the data included is accurate and maximizes the scoring potential of the application.
As necessary for the project and application requirements, Green DOT will partner with Caltrans to facilitate the formation of a master agreement for any parcels near I-5 that fall under Caltrans ownership, as well as coordinate ROW and easement/encroachment permits and a letter of support.
Green DOT will lead the development of the PPR Exhibit 25-I, project schedule, and funding table and coordinate with the City Engineer and Caltrans as necessary. Safe Routes to Schools data and supporting documentation will be included per the program requirements, as well as documentation for Safe Routes for Seniors as feasible and appropriate.
Green DOT staff will attend Caltrans workshops for the program and will continue to stay abreast of program announcements and milestones throughout application development. Green DOT understands the extremely competitive nature of the ATP Program as well as the City’s need to secure funding to 31 implement the Lake Street for All project. With our extensive skills and experience in assembling compelling applications to the Caltrans Active Transportation Program, we are pleased to submit our proposal to support the City with its application for Cycle 8.
Task 3. Part B: Application Narrative Questions
Building on our extensive knowledge of Lake Street from the Lake Street for All planning effort, Green DOT will assemble compelling narrative responses, maps, and figures for questions B1 – B9, addressing project need, safety, equity, community engagement, and transformative outcomes.
Green DOT is skilled at weaving together a strong case for application reviewers that blends a strong project need, a thoughtful and innovative project design, and strong community support. The average draft length of a medium infrastructure project typically includes 30-35 pages of narrative content, and a minimum of 4-6 maps and figures developed to compliment the narrative and maximize scoring potential for each question. Green DOT will share draft narrative and maps for the City’s review at key application milestones.
Part B also requires several components in addition to narrative and figure development. Green DOT will support the City in identifying any potential leveraging funds, if available, to maximize scoring potential, and will incorporate the required calculations and supporting documentation. Green DOT will assemble all supporting material to illustrate the robust community engagement that has been conducted on Lake Street and throughout the City under multiple recent planning efforts. TIMS collision data will be compiled as required, and Green DOT may explore additional data or methodologies to underscore the corridor’s safety challenges with speeding, crossing the street, and bicycling. Each DAC data option will be evaluated, per the guidelines for Cycle 8 (once released), and the option that maximizes the scoring potential will be selected and woven into the application narrative to underscore the project need.
Task 4. Attachments
The attachments are a crucial component of a strong ATP application. Green DOT will develop a project location map that meets the project requirements and underscores the project need and benefit described in the narrative responses under Part B of the application. Additional documentation will be included from the LS4A project to illustrate the before and after scenarios, and additional figures may be developed in GIS or Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator as needed to maximize scoring potential.
Cost estimates will be drafted based on existing and forthcoming engineering work. Green DOT will follow the strict program guidelines to assemble the cost estimate form, and circulate with the City Engineer and other relevant parties as necessary to complete the form. Through the LS4A project, Green DOT has assembled an extensive database of photos of Lake Street. Photos will be compiled with accompanying captions that underscore the project need and benefit. 32 Letters of Support are instrumental in showing project reviewers the great community support for the project. Green DOT will leverage and expand on existing relationships in the community to gather letters of support to include in the application.
Task 5. Package and Submit
Green DOT will do an internal consistency review of the draft application before providing it to the City for review. Following the City’s review, Green DOT will incorporate any fatal flaw revisions and then package and submit the application to the program.
PROPOSED COST
Green DOT proposes the total cost to prepare the ATP Cycle 8 application for the Lake Street for All project to not exceed a lump sum of $29,514.
We look forward to receiving your response to our proposal.

City Council Agenda Item # 12
Staff Report
Meeting Date: June 23, 2025
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Ken Kellogg, Public Works Director
Subject: Downtown Snow Removal Ordinance
Recommended Action: Consider the adoption of the revised Snow Removal Ordinance as discussed at the May 27th Council meeting.
Background:
Currently, the City conducts snow removal in the downtown business district by plowing snow off the sidewalks and into the street and then plowed towards the street center. The center plowed snow is subsequently loaded into trucks and hauled to the Old Mill Site for disposal.
Businesses in the district pay $12/year to have the sidewalks cleared as per the 1982 Ordinance #406. This Ordinance directs the snow to be plowed to the center of the street but does not address the cost of removing it to the Landing.
If the $12 annual fee was adjusted for inflation, it would cost approximately $40/year. However, the sidewalk clearing accounts for approximately 25% of the total cost of downtown snow removal. Approximately 75% of the cost is incurred plowing snow towards the center of the street.
Ordinance #406 permits the City Council to adjust the yearly fee by resolution. However, it would only pertain to the removal of snow from the sidewalks.
Based on the direction provided by Council at the May 27th 2025 meeting, staff has revised the City’s Downtown Snow Removal Ordinance to better capture the cost of providing the service in the District. Therefore, snow removal will be billed to businesses within the District based upon a maximum rate of $0.20/SF. This maximum rate may be adjusted in the future as needed via resolution.
Business customers will be billed for snow removal for the previous season, to be due annually on June 30 along with their annual business license renewal fee.
Downtown Snow Removal Process:
Snow removal would continue as it is now. Namely:

Presentation
49 • Snow will be lowed to the center and then remove from the median. Sidewalks would be cleared from sidewalks on Chestnut and Mt Shasta Blvd. from Alma to Water Street including all cross streets. Snow would be cleared on both sides of Chestnut from Lake to Alma. Then, snow would be removed from the median and sidewalks would be cleared. • The Northside of Mt Shasta Blvd from Alma to E. Jessie would be plowed to the Westside of the street consistent with current practices. No snow removal or sidewalk clearing services would be available from the City.
• To enable sidewalk clearing on existing sections as narrow as four (4’) feet, an additional piece of snow removal equipment will be purchased with the cost being depreciated over a ten-year period.

CHAPTER 12.24 SNOW REMOVAL BY AMENDING
SECTIONS 12.24.070, 12.24.075, 12.24.080, AND 12.24.090, AND ADDING SECTIONS 12.24.095, 12.24.100, AND 12.24.110
TO ESTABLISH A DOWNTOWN SNOW-REMOVAL DISTRICT AND
PROVIDE PROCEDURES FOR SNOW REMOVAL AND COST RECOVERY
The City of Mt. Shasta Municipal Code Section 12.24.070, et seq. is amended as follows:
12.24.070 Declaration of intent.
The City Council finds that the clearing of snow from the sidewalks, roadway, and center median in the Snow Removal District directly benefits businesses by providing cleared parking and safer conditions for vehicles and pedestrians.
12.24.075 District boundaries.
The Downtown Snow Removal District ("District") boundaries are established and is bounded by Alma Street to the north, Water Street to the south, Maple Street to the west and Chestnut Street to the east. The District includes all segments of Mt. Shasta Blvd., Chestnut Street, Castle Street, and Lake Street within those boundaries. See Exhibit A.
12.24.080 Snow removal.
The City shall remove snow from sidewalks and the streets within the District with city-owned equipment and workforce at times deemed appropriate based on weather conditions, workforce availability, and the availability of snow removal equipment.
12.24.090 Cost incurred.
The City will seek the recovery of the actual cost of removing snow within the District. These costs will include staff time, equipment, and contracted services utilized to remove snow billed after the previous winter season. The billed costs will include only those snow removal services provided within the boundaries of District.
12.24.095 Schedule of charges.
At the conclusion of each snow season, the City Manager shall determine the cost incurred for snow removal within the District. The City Manager will prepare a schedule of costs to be charged to each business within the district by determining the percentage of floor space each business contributes to the total square footage in the district. The floor space used in this calculation will be indicated on each business license renewal. A maximum reimbursement rate of $0.20/SF is hereby established. The City Council of the City of Mt. Shasta shall adjust the maximum reimbursement rate by resolution as they deem necessary.
12.24.100 Council approval, billing, and payment.
The City Council shall consider the adoption of fees at a public hearing. Fees adopted will be sent by mail to businesses using the address(es) shown on the respective business license renewals. Payment will be due thirty (30) days after the bill is mailed. Delinquent bills will be charged a late fee of _______% per month compounded.
Commented [BP1]: How would we derive this? Is this
information listed on each business license?
Commented [KK2R1]: Yes
Commented [JP3R1]: For the most part, we have this
information in our Business License system and on a
spreadsheet we maintain for the Downtown Parking District.
Since the Snow Removal District is slightly different than the Parking District, there may be parcels we need to gather square footage from.
51 12.24.110 Constitutionality/severance.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this code is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this code. The Council declares that it would have passed this code, and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases had been declared invalid, unconstitutional, or otherwise unenforceable, and in such event the remainder hereof shall be in full force and effect.
The foregoing Ordinance was adopted at the regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Mt. Shasta held on _____ day of ______________, 202____, by the following vote:
AYES:
NOES:
ABSENT:
ABSTAIN:
