Insurances
6.1. Health Insurance
The City provides a “Flexible Benefit Cafeteria Plan” for health insurance benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage pursuant to IRS Code Section 125.
Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage is through the Northern California General Teamsters Security Fund Plan Select Plus or Plan E Plus (with an HSA option). The City pays the total monthly premium per eligible employee for the Northern California General Teamsters Security Trust Fund, Plan E Plus, with an HSA/HRA or Select Plus for its employees.
50 Employees are eligible for benefits on the first of the month following thirty (30) days of employment. To maintain eligibility employees must be in a paid status for a minimum of eighty (80) hours per month.
The City pays the entire deductible for the Plan E Plus with HSA/HRA. The City frontloads the employer HSA/HRA contributions annually in January. All employees participating in Plan E Plus must sign an HSA/HRA Frontloading Agreement. Employees who leave City employment during the year are responsible for repaying unearned contributions. Should a separating employee’s final paycheck be inadequate to cover the amount to be deducted, the employee is responsible for making the City whole.
Upon hire, and once eligible, employees will have their HSA funded on a pro-rated basis.
Employees must sign an enrollment form authorizing additional voluntary contributions to their HSA account via payroll deductions. Deductions take effect thirty (30) days following the receipt of the signed enrollment form.
There is an annual open enrollment period that allows employees to “opt in” and “opt out” or change their tier or plan. Employees who have a qualifying event may make these changes as governed by the Trust.

Staff Report
Meeting Date: December 15th, 2025
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Robert Gibson, Chief of Police
Subject: Declaration of Retirement of K-9 Rocco
Recommendation:
Staff respectfully requests the City Council Adopt Resolution CCR-25-XX, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Mount Shasta retiring K-9 Rocco from active duty and selling him to his handler John Casanova.
Background & Summary:
Officer John Casanova has resigned from the Mt. Shasta Police Department effective on December 13th, 2025. This has left K-9 Rocco without a certified handler. After discussions with the City Manager, it was determined to retire K-9 Rocco and sell him to Officer Casanova pursuant to Mount Shasta Police Department Policy section 343.13.1 Transfer of Liability for a canine.
The reasoning for this decision was based on several factors including budgetary concerns. The cost to train a new certified handler would be approximately $8,250 for training costs and does not including salary cost. This is a five week training that would require overtime backfill. Other associated costs are a required kennel with fencing with an estimated cost of $1,500-$2,000, mandatory monthly training of $350 per month, and an annual re-certification cost of approximately $800, with a total approximate cost of $14,750. This cost does not include the additional 3.5 hours of overtime pay per week that a K-9 handler receives per the MOU or the feeding and vet costs for care of the animal.
Based on these factors, along with the current budgetary position of the City, staff respectfully recommends the retirement of K-9 Rocco and subsequent sale and release of liability to John Casanova.

OF THE CITY OF MT. SHASTA
DECLARING K-9 ROCCO RETIRED FROM ACTIVE DUTY

Dear City Council Members,
Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum is an essential part of our tourist economy and a center of learning for our community. Each year, we welcome over 14,000 visitors, hold numerous school tours, and host evening presentations that are pertinent to our region.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit volunteer-operated institution. We receive all of our funding from donations, memberships, grants, fundraisers, and museum store sales. In the past, Mt. Shasta City Council members have approved sending money to help support our efforts, and we encourage you to do so again this year. We request $5,000 to help fund our new 2026 exhibits “Mount Shasta Stories”, a new railroad display, and a new video telling stories about our area.
We welcome you to visit the museum. We are proud of our exhibits and of what our volunteers do to share the history and culture of our area with community members and tourists. When you visit the museum, you will see our beautiful lenticular cloud exhibit, Native American basketry, mineral displays, the model train set, photos and facts about historical events, and you can have your photo taken on our 1915 fire truck, Lulu Belle. We also feature fourteen videos on our touch-screen that explain the geology of our area, a railroad history area with model railroad sets, mountain climbing history, an interactive 3-D map of our region. There are many activities, which visitors really enjoy. Here is a recent visitor comment, “We live near San Francisco Bay Area Discovery Museum. I like your museum better. My kids have aged out of the other museum and all three of my kids (11, 9, 6) have found multiple things to do here and don’t want to leave. The hands-on experiences are amazing. The last room is wonderful for young minds! Thank you for being available for people of all ages to learn, explore and have fun. I would recommend this place to all.” 10/11/25 Thank you for your consideration of our request,

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Mount Shasta Safety Action Plan
(Plan) identifies emphasis areas to inform and
guide further safety evaluation of the City’s
transportation network. The emphasis areas
include types of crashes, specific locations, and
notable relationships between current efforts and
crash history. The Plan analyzes crash data on an
aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to
identify high-crash locations, high-risk locations,
and Citywide trends and patterns. The analysis of
crash history throughout the City’s transportation
network allows for opportunities to:
With this Plan, the City continues its safety efforts
by identifying areas of emphasis and systemic
recommendations to enhance safety.
The City’s vision is to enhance the transportation
network and reduce traffic fatalities and serious
injury-related crashes. The City’s vision includes
the following goals:
• To provide a safe and efficient street
system that links all parts of the area for the
movement of people and goods
• To provide the City of Mount Shasta’s
residents with a choice of travel modes
• To provide a street system that contributes to
residents’ quality of life.
These goals will be furthered by this Plan through
the following target objectives:
The Plan analyzes the most recent range of
crash data (January 1, 2019 through December
31, 2023) and roadway characteristics to assess
historic trends, patterns, and areas of increasing
concern. While the COVID-19 pandemic altered
traffic conditions and collision patterns from 2020
to 2022, these years were ultimately included to
understand recent trends.
Furthermore, the collision history was analyzed to
identify locations with elevated risk, either through
their individual collision histories or similarities to other locations with more active collision patterns.
Using a network screening process, locations
were identified within the City that will most likely
benefit from safety enhancements. Additionally,
collision risk factors for the entire network were
derived. The outcomes informed the identification
and prioritization of engineering and noninfrastructure safety measures to address certain roadway characteristics and related behaviors that
contribute to motor vehicle collisions with active
transportation users.
Emphasis areas were developed by revisiting the
visions and goals developed at the onset of the
planning process and comparing them with the
trends and patterns identified in the crash analysis.
GOAL #3: Plan future safety improvements
for near-, mid-, and long-term.
GOAL #1: Identify areas with a high risk
for crashes.
GOAL #4: Define safety projects for HSIP
and other program funding considerations.
GOAL #2: Illustrate the value of a
comprehensive safety program and the
systemic process.
Develop safety measures using the four
E’s of safety: Engineering, Enforcement,
Education, and Emergency Response to
encourage safer driver behavior and lower
severity outcomes.
Identify factors in the transportation
network that inhibit safety for all roadway
users;
Improve safety at specific high-crash
locations, and reduce serious injury and
fatal collisions; and,

The following ten (10) project locations were
selected as case study locations based on an
evaluation of crash data, stakeholder input,
public input, and equity considerations. These
locations were chosen to be representative of
the corridor and intersection case study locations
throughout the City. Identified through the analysis
process based on their crash histories, public
engagement, observed crash patterns, and
distinct characteristics, these locations provide
valuable insights into potential systemic safety
countermeasures that the City can employ to
achieve the most cost-effective safety benefits.

Countermeasures are subjected to a benefit-cost
assessment and scored according to their potential
return on investment. The potential benefit of
these countermeasures at locations with similar
design characteristics can then be extrapolated
regardless of crash history, allowing for proactive
safety enhancements that prevent further safety
challenges from developing. Additionally, this
information can be used to help the City apply for
grants and other funding opportunities to implement
these safety improvements. These grants and
funding opportunities include the Highway Safety
Improvement Program (HSIP), administered by
Caltrans; the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) program,
administered by the federal government; and the
Active Transportation Program (ATP) funds, which
are administered by both the federal government
and the State of California. There are also regional
funding sources, administered by the Shasta
Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA). The
completion of a Safety Action Plan is required for
some of these programs and will allow the City of
Mount Shasta to be eligible for these funds.
Near-term action items were identified to accelerate
the City’s achievement of the goals and vision of a
Safety Action Plan. The City can:
• Actively seek other funding opportunities to
improve safety for all modal users
• Establish a goal of zero traffic fatalities by
the year 2050, consistent with the statewide
goals set by Caltrans
• Collaborate with established safety
partners and neighboring municipalities
as improvements are made to create a
cohesive transportation network
• Iteratively evaluate existing and proposed
transportation safety programs and capital
improvements to design a safer transportation
network in the City of Mount Shasta

This section will lay out the next steps for the City to continue to capitalize on the analysis and information
provided in this report. It is recommended that the
City Council formally adopt this plan.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
Mount Shasta’s Safety Action Plan identifies
emphasis areas to inform and guide further safety
evaluation of the City’s transportation network.
The emphasis areas include the type of crash,
focused locations, and notable relationships
between current efforts and crash history. The
Plan analyzes crash data on an aggregate basis
as well as at specific locations to identify highcrash locations, high-risk locations, and Citywide trends and patterns. The analysis of crash history
throughout the City’s transportation network allows
for the following opportunities:
• To identify factors in the transportation network
that inhibit safety for all roadway users
• To improve safety at specific crash locations,
and advance the City towards its goal of
reducing serious injury and fatal collisions
• To develop safety measures using the four
Es of safety (Engineering, Enforcement,
Education, and Emergency Response) to
encourage safer driver behavior and better
severity outcomes.
The City of Mount Shasta has taken steps to
enhance safety for all modes of transportation
throughout the City, and with this Plan, Mount
Shasta is continuing to prioritize safety in its
planning process.
According to the California Office of Traffic
Safety, the City of Mount Shasta ranked 39th
out of 76 peer cities in 2022 for total fatal and
injury crashes, after adjusting for population and
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). With a ranking of
1 representing the highest—or worst—crash rate,
the City of Mount Shasta falls near the middle of
the range. This indicates that the City performs
about average compared to similar cities across
the state in terms of roadway safety and efforts to
reduce traffic-related injuries.
Based on the University of California, Berkeley’s,
Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS)
and the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) Vehicles Operation Cost Parameters, the
City of Mount Shasta’s economic losses due to traffic
injuries amounted to approximately $13.3 million
from 2019 through 2023. This report identifies factors
associated with the most vehicle crashes particular
to the City and proposes matching countermeasures
to reduce or eliminate those crashes.
The intent of the Safety Action Plan is to:

Mount Shasta
3.0 LEADERSHIP
COMMITMENT AND GOAL
SETTING
The City of Mount Shasta Safety Action Plan
evaluates transportation safety for all road users,
including drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
As part of this commitment, the City routinely
evaluates the physical transportation network,
along with relevant programs and policies. Safety
improvements are identified using criteria that
assess the interaction between travel modes, the
impact of adjacent municipalities on the roadway
network, and the potential effectiveness of various
safety measures. This proactive approach enables
the City to address safety concerns before incidents
occur. Through the analysis of historical crash data,
input from community engagement, and review
of transportation trends, the City identifies and
implements strategies aimed at preventing crashes,
rather than responding solely after they happen.
The City’s vision is to enhance the transportation
network and reduce traffic fatalities and serious
injury-related collisions, and the goals for the City
are in support of the General Plan Goals (C1-2
and C1-8):
• To designate arterial, collector, and other
streets, including proposed streets that are
expected to be needed in the planning area.
• To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and
bicycle transportation and other modes of
non-motorized transportation.
CA cities across the county have implemented
safety action plans and systemically addressed
the conditions leading to serious injuries and fatal
crashes. These plans provide a locally developed
and customized approach to directly address the
most significant safety risks in the given jurisdiction.
This Plan’s vision, goals, and objective have been
established to reflect discussions with City of
Mount Shasta’s staff, various stakeholders
identified by City staff, input from community
members, and a review of existing plans/policies
in the area. This plan also supports the goal of
zero fatalities from traffic collisions by 2050, which
is consistent with Caltrans and the Southern
California Association of Governments’ (SCAG)’s
Vision Zero goals.
Objectives:
• Evaluate the City’s roadway network for
crash activity
• Identify intersections and segments in need
of mitigation
• Identify areas of interest with respect to
safety concerns for pedestrians and bicycles
Objectives:
• Demonstrate the systemic process’s ability
to identify locations with higher risk for
crashes based on present characteristics
closely associated with severe crashes
• Demonstrate, through the systemic
process, the areas where city safety can
be enhanced and highlight data collection
activities that can be improved.
• Create safety toolbox and identify
strategies to better align with current best
practices, and demonstrate where there are
opportunities for new initiatives that would

4.0 PLANNING STRUCTURE
4.1 Stakeholder and Public
Workshop
Through the development and implementation
of this Safety Action Plan, the City will continue
working with safety partners to identify and
address transportation safety concerns within the
community. Briefing with key stakeholders during
the planning process offered valuable insights
into lessons learned from past efforts and local
knowledge. This collaboration helped shape a Plan
that reflects the community’s needs and priorities.
The planning process was guided by both national
and state level recommendations. The Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) and Caltrans
have developed frameworks to support the
creation of effective and comprehensive Safety
Action Plans.
The FHWA recommends several key steps in
the development process, including:

Caltrans offers similar guidance, emphasizing the
following steps:
• Establish leadership
• Analyze the safety data to understand
existing conditions
• Determine emphasis areas
• Identify effective strategies
• Prioritize and incorporate strategies
• Evaluate and update the Safety Plan to
reflect progress and changing needs
Part of the planning structure involves a committee,
task force, implementation group, or similar body
responsible for overseeing the development,
execution, and monitoring of the Action Plan. This
ensures clear accountability, with commitments
from leadership to guarantee follow-through and
successful outcomes.
4.1.1 Guiding Manuals
This section describes the analysis process
undertaken to evaluate safety within the City of
Mount Shasta at a systemic level. This report
identifies specific locations within the City that
will benefit from safety enhancements and
addresses crash risk factors based on historic
crash data using a network screening process.
The outcome will inform the identification and
prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure
safety measures by addressing certain roadway
characteristics and related driving behaviors
contributing to crashes. This process uses the
latest national and state best practices for statistical roadway analysis.
4.1.2 Local Roadway Safety Manual
The Local Roadway Safety Manual: A Manual
for California’s Local Road Owners (Version 1.7,
April 2024) encourages local agencies to pursue a
proactive approach when identifying and analyzing
safety issues and preparing to compete for project
funding opportunities. A proactive approach is
the analysis of safety across an entire roadway
network, through either a one-time network-wide
analysis or a routine analysis of the roadway
network.
According to the Local Roadway Safety
Manual (LRSM), “the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) – Division of Local
Assistance is responsible for administering
California’s federal safety funding intended for
local safety improvements.”
To provide the most beneficial and competitive
funding approach,
the analysis leading
to countermeasure
selection should
focus on both
intersections and
roadway segments
and maintain
consideration
of roadway
characteristics and
traffic volumes.
The result should reflect a list of locations that
are most likely to benefit from cost- effective
countermeasures, preferably prioritized by benefit/
cost ratio. The LRSM suggests using a mixture of
quantitative and qualitative measures to identify
and rank locations using both crash frequency
and crash rates. These findings should then be
screened for crash type and severity patterns to

determine the cause of crashes and the potential
effective countermeasures. Qualitative analysis
should include field visits and a review of existing
roadway characteristics and devices. The specific
roadway context can then be used to assess
conditions that may decrease safety at the site
and at systemic levels.
Countermeasure selection should be supported
using Crash Reduction Factors (CRFs). These
factors are a peer-reviewed product of research
quantifying the expected rate of crash reduction
from a given countermeasure. If more than one
countermeasure is under consideration, the
LRSM provides guidance on the appropriate
application of CMFs.
4.1.3 Safe System Approach
The SS4A grant is guided by the Safe System
Approach, which involves another perspective
on infrastructure, human behavior, responsible
oversight of the vehicle and transportation
industry, and emergency response, shifting
from a conventional safety approach to one
that focuses on both human mistakes and
human vulnerability. A Safe System Approach
incorporates the following principles:
• Death and Serious Injuries are
Unacceptable
• Humans Make Mistakes
• Humans are Vulnerable
• Responsibility is Shared
• Safety is Proactive
• Redundancy is Crucial
4.1.4 Highway Safety Manual
The American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Highway
Safety Manual (HSM), published in 2010,
presents a variety of methods for quantitatively
estimating crash frequency or severity at a variety
of locations. This four-part manual is divided
into the following parts: A) Introduction, Human
Factors, and Fundamentals; B) Roadway Safety
Management Process; C) Predictive Method; and
D) Crash Modification Factors.
In Chapter 4 of Part B in the HSM, the “Network
Screening Process” is a tool for an agency to
analyze the entire network and identify/rank
locations that are most likely or least likely to
realize a reduction in the frequency of crashes.
The HSM identifies five steps in this process:
1. Establish Focus: Identify the
purpose or intended outcome of the
network screening analysis. This
decision will influence data needs,
the selection of performance measures,
and the screening method that can be
applied.
2. Identify Network and Establish
Reference Populations: Specify
the types of sites or facilities
being screened (i.e., segments,
intersections, geometrics) and identify
groupings of similar sites or facilities.
3. Select Performance Measures: There
are a variety of performance
measures available to evaluate the
potential to reduce crash frequency at
a site. In this step, the performance
measure is selected as a function of the
screening focus and the data and
analytical tools available.
4. Select Screening Method: There
are three principal screening methods
described in this chapter (i.e.,
ranking, sliding window, peak
searching). Each method has
advantages and disadvantages; the
most appropriate method for a given
situation should be selected.

5. Screen and Evaluate Results:
The final step in the process is
to conduct the screening and
analysis and evaluate the results.
The HSM provides several statistical methods for
screening roadway networks and identifying highrisk locations based on overall crash histories.
5.0 ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE
5.1 Crash and Network Screening
Analysis
Intersections and roadways were analyzed using
four collision metrics:
• Number of Collisions
• Critical Crash Rate (HSM Chapter 4)
• Probability of Specific Crash Types
Exceeding Threshold Proportion (HSM
Chapter 4)
• Equivalent Property Damage Only (HSM
Chapter 4)
The initial steps of the crash analysis established
sub-populations of roadway segments and
intersections that have similar characteristics.
For this study, intersections were grouped by
their control type (Signalized, or Unsignalized)
and segments by their roadway category (Major
Collector and Local). Individual crash rates were
calculated for each sub-population. The population
level crash rates were then used to assess whether
a specific location has more or fewer crashes than
expected. These sub-populations were also used
to determine typical crash patterns to help identify
locations where unusual numbers of specific crash
types are seen.
The network screening process ranks intersections
and roadway segments by the number of crashes
that occurred at each one over the analysis period
and then identifies areas that had more of a given
type of crash than would be expected for that type
of location. These crash type factors were 1) crash
injury (fatal, severe injury, other visible injury,
complaint of pain, property damage only), 2) crash
type (broadside, rear-end, sideswipe, head-on, hit
object, overturned, bicycle, pedestrian, other), 3)
environmental factors (lighting, wet roads), 4) driver
behavior (aggressive), and 5) driver impairment.
With these additional factors, the locations were
further analyzed and assigned a new rank.
From the results of the network screening analyses,
a short-list of locations was chosen based on crash
activity, crash severity, crash patterns, location
type, and area of the City of Mount Shasta to
provide the greatest variety of locations covering
the widest range of safety opportunities for safety
toolbox development. The intent is to populate the
safety toolbox with mitigation measures that will
be applicable to most of the crash activity in the
City.
5.2 Statistical Performance
Measures
Small Sample Size
Despite the limited sample size in the city of Mount
Shasta, an advanced statistical approach was
utilized to strengthen the descriptive statistics.
This method not only considers available data
but also integrates inputs and opinions from city
staff and the public. This comprehensive safety
analysis combines existing knowledge to create
a robust framework typically reserved for larger
datasets. By using this dual approach, both data
and public input are essential components in
developing this thorough report. Given that the
sample size of crashes within the time frame ('17')
is too small to support reliable inferential statistics, descriptive statistics still offer valuable insights into current conditions and trends. By combining these
statistics with expert opinions and public feedback,
76 12 SAFETY ANALYSIS
ACTION
SA FETY MOUNT SHASTA SAFETY ACTION PLAN

we can achieve a well-rounded understanding of
roadway safety in the area.
6.0 SAFETY ANALYSIS
6.1 Roadway Network
The City of Mount Shasta’s roadway database was
used to build the base roadway network used for
this analysis, and functional classifications were
taken from the Caltrans Classification System.
Traffic volumes and signal locations were provided
by the City and were included in the analysis
network. Intersections and roadway segments were
divided into control and classification categories
so that each set could have its own crash rates
and be evaluated against similar facilities. Figure
3 illustrates Mount Shasta’s roadway network and
intersections as classified for this study.
6.2 Intersections
The crash analysis requires each intersection to
be classified by type: Signalized or Unsignalized.
The safety analysis compares intersection safety
performance to locations with similar control types.
This information is also displayed in Figure 3.
6.3 Count Data
Vehicular count data is used as part of the analysis
process to evaluate the impact of traffic and
understand the natural hierarchy of the roadway
network. Count data utilized for this project was
pulled from 2023 Replica data. For locations
without volume or count data, engineering
judgment was used. The traffic volume information
allowed the team to assess locations for risk to a
given roadway user and to review locations with
the highest number of crashes.
6.4 Crash Data
Crash data was collected from the Transportation
Injury Mapping System (TIMS) for the period from
January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2023.
Typically, safety grants require between three
and five years of crash data. Five years of data
were used for this study to provide more history
to evaluate trends or patterns. Analysis of the raw
crash data is the first step in understanding the
specific and systemic challenges faced throughout
the City. Analyzing the five years of data provided
insight on the following crash trends and patterns.
All crashes analyzed in the study period are shown
in Figure 4. The locations of fatal and severely
injured crashes are displayed in Figure 5.

7.0 CRASH SAFETY TRENDS
The following section breaks down the crash
data by a variety of input factors and user types.
This information will be used to highlight areas of
concern for the City.
7.1 All Crashes
This report analyzes five-year crash data to
identify trends and patterns on City streets. The
data, extracted from TIMS Analytics on December
26, 2024, reflects the most current data available.
TIMS is a platform used to collect, analyze, and
report traffic-related data from local enforcement
agencies. The data used in this report covers
crashes from January 1, 2019, to December 31,
2023. During this period, a total of 17 crashes
were recorded within Mount Shasta. There were
no fatal collisions in the City during the analysis
timeframe. It should be noted that this is a small
sample size, so the analysis of crashes is more
qualitative rather than quantitative in nature.
During the study period, the most common crash
types were Broadside (24%) and Sideswipes
(24%). The total number of crashes saw a
decrease from 2019 to 2020, followed by an
increase from 2020 to 2021. The decline in 2020
was likely influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic,
while the subsequent increase in crashes aligns
with statewide and national trends, reflecting a
rise in crashes in the years that followed. In 2023,
there were no crashes recorded.
Figure 6 shows the injury crashes over the study
period, during which injury crashes mirrored the
decrease from 2019 to 2020 and increase from
2020 to 2021 present in Figure 7.

7.2.2 Cause of Crashes
The most frequently recorded cause of crashes
in the City during this period was unsafe speed,
accounting for 35% of crashes. This was followed
by driving or bicycling under the influence at 18%,
and automobile right-of-way violations at 18%.
Table 2 to the right details the causes of crashes
during the study period. According to the Strategic
Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Caltrans Dashboard,
Mount Shasta exhibits a trend similar to that of
California overall. From 2019-2022, unsafe speed,
driving under the influence, and automobile rightof-way violations were among the leading crash factors both in Mount Shasta and across the state.
As mentioned in Section 7, the proportion of
crashes resulting in serious or severe injuries has
fluctuated over time. However, the small sample
size of 17 crashes means that it is hard to draw
definitive conclusions about crash patterns and
causes. With that being said, the causes of crashes
during the study period indicate some noteworthy
patterns. The causes of the 4 severe crashes were
driving or bicycling under the influence (25%),
unsafe speed (25%), automobile right-of-way
(25%), and traffic signals and signs (25%). It should
be noted that the low number of overall crashes
does not allow for a definitive trend analysis and
instead serves as an observable indicator. This
correlates to the top three causes of crashes.
Notably, the number of crashes due to automobile
right-of-way violations has increased throughout
the years, from 16.6% in 2021 to 33.3% in 2022.
Additionally, the number of unsafe speed crashes
has decreased from 75% in 2019 to 16% in 2022.
There were no recorded crashes in 2023.

7.4 Time of Day
Crashes in Mount Shasta occurred more in the
PM (12:00 PM – 11:59 PM) hours versus the AM
(12:00 AM – 11:59 AM) hours.
• 59% of crashes occurred in the PM hours
• 41% of crashes occurred in the AM hours
Peak periods of crash activity:
• 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM (four crashes)
• 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM (six crashes)
A majority of the crashes occurred during the
nighttime hours. However, as noted in Section
7.1, the overall sample size is small, meaning
that it is hard to draw conclusions from the crash
circumstances, such as nighttime being more
crash-prone than daytime.
• 53% (nine crashes) occurred at night or
during dusk/dawn hours; this includes all
crashes that occurred when it was dark out,
with or without streetlights
7.5 Time of Year
The total number of crashes varies by month of
the year shown in Figure 10. The most common
month for crashes was August, with four crashes
between 2019 and 2023. The amount of crash
occurences generally fluctuated throughout the
year. February, March, September, and October
were tied as the months with the fewest number
of crashes, with only one crash in each month
between 2019 and 2023. In January, there were
two crashes attributed to unsafe speed and one
crash involving driving under the influence (DUI). In
August, the crashes were categorized as follows:
one traffic signal crash, one unstated, one due to
unsafe speed, and one involving an automobile
right-of-way violation. No significant patterns or
anomalies were identified during these months,
aside from an increase in tourist activity.
7.6 Driving Behavior
Aggressive driving and impaired driving were
two behavioral factors that contributed to crash
patterns within Mount Shasta during the study

Caltrans defines aggressive driving as behaviors
that include speeding, tailgating, and running stop
signs or red lights. These behaviors contributed
to 41.2% of the total injury-producing crashes
in Mount Shasta during the study period (2019-
2023).
Caltrans defines impaired driving as any instance
where a driver, pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorcyclist
has any detectable alcohol, illicit drugs, or
prescribed or over-the-counter medication,
whether or not it is over the legal limit. During
the study period (2019-2023), 18% of the total
crashes in Mount Shasta involved drivers under
the influence.
7.7 Driver Age
The age group with the highest percentage of
crashes was 26-45 years, accounting for 32.4%.
This was followed by the 45-64 age range at
26.5%, 15-25 years at 17.6%, and those 65 and
older at 11.8%. Additionally, 11.8% of the crash
reports did not specify an age.
7.8 Statewide Comparison
A comparison of fatal and severe injury crash data
to the state averages was conducted for data
from 2013-2022 (the most recent statewide data
available). These numbers may vary slightly from
those mentioned previously, due to the differences
in the years of the study period. The following
are areas where Mount Shasta’s crash rates
are higher or lower than those of the state. The
challenge areas that are higher than the statewide
average are Intersections, Aggressive Driving,
Distracted Driving, Commercial Vehicles, Young
Drivers, Aging Drivers, and Occupant Protection
(lack or improper use of seatbelts). The number of
crashes observed in Mount Shasta for any given
challenge area compared to the statewide crashes
is not proportional. These percentages are meant
to be a reference between fatal and serious injury
crashes that have the characteristics listed below.
1. Intersections
• Mount Shasta: 57.1% of fatal and severe
injury (F+SI) crashes
• Statewide: 24.3% of F+SI crashes
• Difference: 32.8% Higher in Mount Shasta
2. Aggressive Driving
• Mount Shasta: 57.1% of F+SI crashes
• Statewide: 33.4% of F+SI crashes
• Difference: 23.7% Higher in Mount Shasta
3. Lane Departure
• Mount Shasta: 28.6% of F+SI crashes
• Statewide: 42.1% of F+SI crashes
• Difference: 13.5% Lower in Mount Shasta
The Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) compares the
traffic safety statistics of the selected city with
other cities with similar-sized populations. In this
analysis, shown in the table below, Mount Shasta
was compared to 76 peer-cities in California for
the most recent year with complete data, 2022.
The lower the number (closer to 1), the “worse”
the ranking compared to other cities. Figure 11
below, shows the OTS ranking for total fatal and
injury crashes in Mount Shasta for a five-year
period from 2018 to 2022. Mount Shasta’s best
ranked year was 2020, which can be explained
by lower traffic volumes experienced during the
pandemic. While there is not a clear trendline
overall, the OTS ranking of the City has gotten
closer to 1 since the pandemic, meaning the City
should prioritize improving transportation safety
as a key focus of its local efforts in order to reverse this trend.
Examining the average OTS score for each crash
category over the same five-year period, the City

The worst category on average from 2018-2022 is pedestrians less than 15 years old, with a ranking of 14.2. It should be noted that crash rankings are based on the Empirical Bayesian Ranking Method, which adds weights to different statistical categories, including observed crash counts, population, and vehicle miles traveled. Mount Shasta’s relatively good scores mean that it compares well, using this method, to other cities with similar population sizes. The average OTS ranking 1 for several categories is listed in Table 3.

8.0 ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
The following section describes the analysis
process undertaken to evaluate safety within
Mount Shasta at a systemic level. Using a network
screening process, locations within the City that
will most likely benefit from safety enhancements
will be identified. Using historic crash data, crash
risk factors for the entire network are derived.
The outcomes will inform the identification and
prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure
safety countermeasures that address specific
roadway characteristics and related behaviors
that contribute to motor vehicle crashes with active
transportation users.
8.1 Existing Guidance
This process uses the latest national and state
best practices for statistical roadway analysis,
described as follows.
8.1.1 Local Roadway Safety Manual
The purpose of the Local Roadway Safety
Manual: A Manual for California’s Local Road
Owners (Version 1.7, April 2024) is to encourage
local agencies to pursue a proactive approach
to identifying and analyzing safety issues,
while preparing to compete for project funding
opportunities. A proactive approach is defined as
analyzing the safety of the entire roadway network
through either a one-time, network-wide analysis,
or by routine analyses of the roadway network.1
According to the Local Roadway Safety
Manual (LRSM), “The California Department
of Transportation (Caltrans) – Division of Local
Assistance is responsible for administering
California’s federal safety funding intended for
local safety improvements.”
To provide the most benefit and be competitive for
1 Local Roadway Safety Manual (Version 1.6) 2022. Page 6. 2 AASHTO, Highway Safety Manual, 2010, Washington D.C., http://www.highwaysafetymanual.org/Pages/About.aspx funding, the analysis leading to countermeasure
selection should focus on both intersections and
roadway segments and be considerate of roadway
characteristics and traffic volumes. The result
should be a list of locations that are most likely
to benefit from cost-effective countermeasures,
preferably prioritized by benefit/cost ratio. The
manual suggests using a mixture of quantitative and
qualitative measures to identify and rank locations
that consider both crash frequency and crash
rates. These findings should then be screened for
patterns, such as crash types and severity, to aid
in identifying the issues causing higher numbers
of crashes and the potential countermeasures
that could be most effective. Qualitative analysis
should include field visits and a review of existing
roadway characteristics and devices. The specific
roadway context can then be used to assess what
conditions may increase safety risk at the site and
systematic level.
Countermeasure selection should be supported
using Crash Modification Factors (CMFs). These
factors are the peer-reviewed product of beforeand-after research that quantifies the expected rate of crash reduction from a given countermeasure.
If more than one countermeasure is under
consideration, the LRSM provides guidance on
how to apply CMFs appropriately.
8.1.2 Highway Safety Manual
“The AASHTO Highway Safety Manual (HSM),
published in 2010, presents a variety of methods
for quantitatively estimating crash frequency or
severity at a variety of locations.”2
This four- part
manual is divided into the following parts: A)
Introduction, Human Factors, and Fundamentals,
B) Roadway Safety Management Process, C)
Predictive Method, and D) Crash Modification
Factors.
Chapter 4 of Part B of the HSM discusses the
Network Screening Process. The Network
Screening Process is a tool that allows an agency
89 ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY 25
MOUNT SHASTA SAFETY ACTION PLAN SA FETY
ACTION
PLAN
Mount Shasta
to analyze its entire network and identify/rank
locations that, based on the implementation of a
countermeasure, are most or least likely to realize
a reduction in the frequency of crashes.
The HSM identifies five steps in this process3:
1. Establish Focus: Identify the purpose
or intended outcome of the network
screening analysis. This decision
will influence data needs, the selection of
performance measures, and the screening
method that can be applied.
2. Identify Network and Establish
Reference Populations: Specify the
types of sites or facilities being
screened (i.e., segments,
intersections, geometrics) and identify
groupings of similar sites or facilities.
3. Select Performance Measures:
There are a variety of performance
measures available to evaluate the
potential to reduce crash frequency at a site.
In this step, the performance measure is
selected as a function of the screening focus
and the data and analytical tools available
4. Select Screening Method: There are
three principal screening methods
described in this chapter (i.e., ranking,
sliding window, peak searching). Each method
has advantages and disadvantages; the most
appropriate method for a given situation
should be selected.
5. Screen and Evaluate Results: The
final step in the process is to conduct
the screening and analysis and
evaluate the results.
The HSM provides several statistical methods
for screening roadway networks to identify highrisk locations based on overall crash histories. 3 AASHTO. Highway Safety Manual. 2010. Washington, DC. Page 4-2.
However, the City of Mount Shasta has too few
locations with enough crashes for statistical
analysis to warrant a statistical network screening,
so all locations with multiple crashes will be
evaluated
8.1.3 Site Visits
Through the initial crash and network screening
analysis, a short list of locations was developed. In
addition to looking at locations with a high number
of crashes, other statistically important factors were
evaluated. Kimley-Horn recommends the following
ten locations be further studied, including site
visits. With the intent to diversify the studies and
provide a range of countermeasures to propose to
the City, chosen locations were distributed among
the different intersection and roadway types.

9.0 ENGAGEMENT AND
COLLABORATION
The City of Mount Shasta’s stakeholders and the
public (the Working Group) were included in the
development of the Plan to maintain the local
perspective at the forefront of planning efforts. The
Working Group consists of representatives from
City staff, including City Council, Public Works,
Siskiyou Outdoor Alliance, THA Design, LAFCo
Commissioner, Mount Shasta Parks, a local
bicycle advocate, and a local active transportation
advocate.
An overview of the Plan was presented to the
public at the City’s farmers’ market. Public
feedback on safety concerns was actively solicited
to better understand ongoing issues. Additionally,
a survey was conducted and made available for
public input on the City’s website and through
flyers. The survey aimed to gather information on
travel modes, barriers to mobility within the City,
and suggestions for potential improvements.
The events and surveys offered the Project Team
essential insights into roadway safety issues
in specific areas of the City, as well as potential
solutions. The Project Team convened to identify
key locations for further safety investigations and
to discuss possible countermeasures through
meetings and in-person discussions. Following
these meetings, proposed improvements
were formulated and shared with the public to
gather feedback, comments, and initiate further
discussions. The details of the public engagement
activities are outlined below.
9.1 Public Engagement

farmers’ market. The survey included questions
about traveling within the City by car, walking, and
bicycling. The interactive map allowed community
members to identify locations where they were
experiencing issues and highlight areas where
they would like to see improvements.
Stakeholder Meetings
Two stakeholder meetings were held to gain the
perspective and expertise of local subject matter
experts and to help guide the planning process.
The first stakeholder meeting was held in person
on April 4th, 2025. During the meeting, the group
was introduced to the project, including the goals
and the objectives of the Safety Action Plan.
Crash data from the past five years was presented
to stakeholders to illustrate trends within the
City. The analysis included crash types, primary
contributing factors, and incidents involving
vulnerable road users. The project team identified
and presented eight locations where crash data
indicated a high priority for safety improvements.
In response to stakeholder feedback requesting
additional locations for consideration, the project
team incorporated those suggested sites into the
field visits conducted as part of the case study
assessment.
At the second stakeholder meeting, participants
reviewed each location and provided input on
potential countermeasures to include in the City’s
toolbox. The discussion covered both systemic
improvements and specific case study locations,
as well as potential funding opportunities
Public Outreach
One public outreach event was held on June
30th, 2025, at the City’s farmers’ markert. The
event promoted awareness of the Safety Action
Plan and gathered public feedback on concerns
throughout the City, locations they want to see
improvements on, and types of improvements
they would like to see implemented. The main
concerns expressed at the outreach were safety
concerns for pedestrians, bicyclists, and related

to infrastructure. Key issues include missing
sidewalk segments, faded or absent crosswalks,
and potholes that pose hazards—particularly for
cyclists.
There is a strong desire for more on-street bike
lanes with physical protection or buffers to prevent
dooring, as well as better connections between
neighborhoods and nearby towns. Additionally,
snowplows blocking driveways during winter
create accessibility and safety challenges for many
residents. The following activities and materials
were available:
• Informational Board: A “What is a Safety
Action Plan?” informational board that
visualized 20 potential vehicle, pedestrian,
and bicyclist safety improvements for
participants to learn and ask questions
about.
• Map Activity: A poster board with a map
of the City. Participants used stickers to
indicate locations they have experienced
or seen safety concerns. They chose the
type of improvements they wanted to see
at these locations. They put a number on a
sticker that corresponds to the improvement
they want to see at these locations.
• Case Study Location Activity: A poster
board featuring a City map marked with the
locations of case studies.
• Concerns Activity: A poster board that
displayed a question asking what issues the
community feels the City should address.
Participants placed star stickers to vote for
the concerns they felt most connected to.
• Project Survey: Printed copies of the
online survey were available for people to
complete in person.
• Project Flyer: Provided an overview of the
Safety Action Plan and included a QR code

10.0 EQUITY
The following section presents the equity analysis
conducted to identify programs and infrastructure
investments that will support transportation and
safety policies for the City of Mount Shasta.
This memo is part of the City of Mount Shasta’s
Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (Plan), which
aims to enhance roadway safety conditions by
proposing potential projects to reduce the risk of
collisions.
The equity analysis supplements technical
collision data analysis by identifying correlations
between equity and safety data, in accordance
with state regulations. A comparative analysis
between demographic and collision data provides
insights on equity that can be addressed through
safety improvements and infrastructure. This helps
vulnerable and disadvantaged populations benefit
from additional safety considerations. Meeting the
needs of equity populations is a critical step in the
equitable distribution of resources and outcomes.
As such, the equity analysis aims to summarize
key safety and equity findings.
This section begins with a background on the City,
summarizes the methodology used to evaluate
demographic and collision data, presents the
demographic and collision data, and ends with
general takeaways related to the equity and
safety data. The analysis seeks to inform policy
and program recommendations for the City to
equitably improve safety in accordance with state
and federal equity goals.
10.1 Background
The City of Mount Shasta is a small town in
northern California located in Siskiyou County
between the cities of Weed and Dunsmuir. Known
for its mix of friendly neighborhoods, parks, and
restaurants, the City is 3.8 square miles in size and
has a population of about 3,208 residents. Nearly
83% of residents identify as White, the median
household income is $48,157, and 16% of people
live below the poverty line, and nearly 35% of the
population is over the age of 64, about 25% higher
than Siskiyou County and more than double the
rate in the State. Although CalEnviroScreen 4.0
indicates the City falls into the 30th percentile for
air pollution burden across the state, the California
Climate Investments Priority Populations Mapping
Tool 4.0 notes that the entirety of the City of
Mount Shasta is low-income. Figure 12 shows the

10.2 Methodology
The equity analysis builds on the crash data
memorandum drafted by Kimley-Horn as part of
the Safety Action Plan’s development process.
The team used the American Community
Survey 2023 (ACS) 5-year estimates to collect
demographic data. Demographic data included
total population, race, ethnicity, age, disability,
vehicle ownership, and more. The areas with the
highest concentration of these demographics are
the equity communities in the City.
The TIMS data included bicycle, pedestrian, and
automobile collision counts throughout the City.
The team then analyzed collision data by race,
ethnicity, age, and more to form a full comparative
analysis of existing safety conditions. Age was
included in these data to identify if a certain age
group is disproportionately involved in the City’s
crashes. The collision data informed key findings
for each demographic category.

The City of Mount Shasta has a large elderly population. Approximately 35% of the population is over the age of 64, which is 25% higher than Siskiyou County and more than double the rate in the State.
The second largest age group (26%) in the City is between 45-64 years old, paralleling county and state figures. With a large elder population, the City’s existing infrastructure may not be designed with the needs of older adults in mind, contributing to disproportionate impacts for this community group.

In fact, nearly 37% of all households receive public benefits such as Supplementation Security (SSI) or food stamps (SNAP). The median household income in the City of Mount Shasta is $48,157, lower than the county ($55,500) and state ($96,334) median incomes. Most households in the City make between $25K and $50K per year. Approximately 52% of households in the City make less than $50,000 annually, about 7% higher than the county and double the rate of the state. Furthermore, about 72% of households in the City make less than $75,000 annually, compared to 62% in the county. These data identifying 61% of the City's population is over 45 and the percentage households receiving public benefits suggest that older residents may be in higher need of services compared to other groups in the City.

10.4.1 Total Collisions
This analysis used TIMS to collect collision
data for 2019-2023. The data is disaggregated
by race, age, and income. Analyzing collision
data by demographic indicators helps identify
any disproportionate impacts that subsets of
the population might endure. Further, analyzing
disaggregated data helps facilitate tailored safety
improvements and projects for populations that
endure disproportionate impacts to safety by the
existing conditions. Figure 14 shows the location
of collisions in the City of Mount Shasta.
During the five-year period, Mount Shasta had
17 collisions with a total of 34 people involved.
Bicycle collisions accounted for one individual
involved, while pedestrian collisions accounted for
two individuals involved.
Collisions by Race/ Ethnicity
When disaggregating collisions by race and
ethnicity, the data shows that over 80% of individuals
involved in collisions in the City of Mount Shasta
were White (27). Collisions involving Unstated
individuals accounted for 15% of all collisions (5).

Collisions by Race/Ethnicity
There was only one bicycle and two pedestrian
collisions in the City during the study period. In
the bicycle collision, two people were involved and
one sustained a severe injury. Both people in this
collision were identified as White. Similarly, of the
two pedestrian collisions, both people identified as
White. This data suggests that the age range is
a better indicator of exposure to unsafe roadway
conditions than race.
10.5 Collision by Age
Of the total 17 collisions within the five-year
period, 34 people were involved in the collisions.
The number of people involved in each collision
per age group is shown in Table 11. Most of the
34 people involved in collisions within this period
were individuals between the ages of 45 and 64,
followed by individuals between the ages of 25
and 34.
10.5.1 Bicycle and Pedestrian
Collisions by Age
There was only one bicycle-involved collision in
the City during the study period and it involved two
people. The individual who suffered a severe injury
was within the 35 to 44 age group. Similarly, there
were two pedestrian-involved collisions in the City
during the study period. Of the two pedestrian
collisions, four individuals were involved, each
over the age of 64 years. This data suggests that
older cyclists and pedestrians are exposed to
more collisions than their counterparts.

10.6 Key Takeaways
This analysis examined race and collision data to
help identify improvements needed to reduce the
incidence of collisions in the City. Specifically, this analysis found that
• Nearly 61% of residents in Mount Shasta
are over the age of 45. With an aging
population, the City’s existing infrastructure
may not be currently suited to meet the
needs of an aging population.
• More senior citizens in Mount Shasta are
women. Given the different travel patterns
of this demographic, including shorter, more
frequent trips with multiple stops, safety
considerations need to reflect the needs of
this population.
• More than half of City households make less
than $50,000 per year and most residents
over the age of 64 make between $25,000
to $50,000 per year. These residents may
have less access to safe mobility options
and, as a result, may be exposed to more
unsafe road conditions.
• Both bicycle and pedestrian collision
included residents over the age of 35.
With an aging population, roadway safety,
especially for older populations, should be a
priority in the City.
As next steps, this project will consider ways
to improve safe multimodal transportation
accessibility for these populations. This project will
use findings in this equity assessment to evaluate
countermeasures that can be implemented at
intersections and roadway segments, develop a
dashboard and toolkit for this project based on this
analysis, and work with the City of Mount Shasta
staff to identify opportunities to create a roadmap
towards achieving a Vision Zero community.

11.1.5 Active Transportation
This analysis utilized REPLICA data to identify the
primary modes of walking and biking within the
City of Mount Shasta. The top roadway segments
for biking volume were McCloud Avenue, Lake
Street, and Mount Shasta Boulevard. Similarly, the
top segments for walking volume included Pine
Street, Maple Street, Mount Shasta Boulevard, and
Mill Street.This data underscores the importance
of adequate pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure
in areas with high concentrations of vulnerable
users. A comparison of collision data with the
activity volumes of vulnerable users revealed
that most collisions occurred on the segments
with the highest activity. This highlights the need
for improved safety measures for pedestrians
and cyclists in these specific areas.Figures 16
through 18 provide insights into the volume of trips
across all transportation modes, with particular
emphasis on walking and biking. Improving
roadway safety for non-automobile modes can
yield multiple benefits, including reduced Vehicle
Miles Traveled (VMT), greenhouse gas emissions,
and pollutants. Moreover, a better pedestrian
environment enhances residents' quality of life and
the overall efficiency of the transportation network.
By reducing the use of private cars and promoting
walking and biking, Mount Shasta can decrease
emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants,
contributing to climate change mitigation and
improved air quality. Active transportation can
also lessen traffic congestion, leading to smoother
traffic flow and fewer idling vehicles. This benefits
businesses by providing quicker and more reliable
commuting options, while also attracting new
businesses and investments.Increased foot traffic
and cycling foster a vibrant local economy and a
sense of community. Safer roads and alternative
transportation modes enhance the city's economic
competitiveness by lowering accident-related
costs, improving transportation efficiency, and
promoting environmental and public health. Thus,
boosting active transportation can enhance the
City’s connectivity to restaurants and shops,
improve public health outcomes, and advance
environmental sustainability.

STRATEGY AND PROJECT SELECTIONS 55
MOUNT SHASTA SAFETY ACTION PLAN SA FETY
ACTION
PLAN
Mount Shasta
13.0 STRATEGY AND PROJECT
SELECTIONS
High-priority locations were identified through
a five-year analysis of crash data, stakeholder
recommendations, and City input.
13.1 Consideration 1: Ranking
Segments and Intersections
Analyzing crash frequency and type provides
insight into key areas of concern for the City. Over
the five-year study period from 2019 to 2023, a
total of 17 crashes were reported within Mount
Shasta. These included sideswipe, broadside,
head-on, rear-end, serious injury incidents, as well
as crashes involving bicyclists and pedestrians.
Overall, roadway segments experienced higher
crash rates than intersections. Mount Shasta
Boulevard recorded the highest number of
crashes at five, followed by West Lake Street and
McCloud Avenue with three crashes each. All
other intersections reported between zero crashes
and one crash during the study period.
13.2 Consideration 2: Stakeholder
And Public Input
Due to the dataset’s small sample size, qualitative
input is necessary to determine location
prioritization. In alignment with Federal Highway
Administration guidance, stakeholder engagement
strongly supports the development of a locally
informed Safety Action Plan. Online public
engagement and two stakeholder meetings were
held, which led to the inclusion of additional sites
and a focus on improving bicycle and pedestrian
connections to and from Mount Shasta.
Additional input from the City, including those from
local officials, traffic professionals, and community
members, provided context beyond crash data
and helped identify behavioral and operational
concerns. City input further informed project
selection by aligning safety efforts with traffic
operations, current projects and developments,
and infrastructure priorities for certain locations.
The integration of crash data, stakeholder
recommendations, and City input facilitates
data-driven, context-based project locations that
maximize and target effective strategies
13.3 Consideration 3: Top 3
Challenge Areas
One of the priority considerations in developing
targeted safety investigation areas for the Plan is
identifying where the City of Mount Shasta exceeds
the statewide average in specific emphasis areas.
When examining the percentage of all crashes
within a defined area that result in fatal or suspected serious injury crashes, Mount Shasta stands out
in three areas: crashes involving intersections,
aggressive driving, and lane departure.
From 2019 to 2023, the percentage of fatal and
expected serious injury crashes at intersections
in Mount Shasta was 32.8% higher than the
statewide average and the percentage of crashes
due to aggressive driving was 27.3% higher than
the statewide average. Additionally, crashes due to
lane departure remain a prevalent consideration,
as they accounted for 28.6% of fatal and severe
injury crashes in Mount Shasta.
Using data from this time, crash locations for the
emphasis areas were analyzed along with the
output from the network screening results. Based
on these findings, a combination of location types
was selected for further investigation, including
intersections and roadway segments.

15.0 EMPHASIS AREAS
This emphasis area encompasses collisions
identified by the responding officer as occurring at
an intersection or involving a train or rail vehicle.
Intersections present numerous potential conflict
points that can lead to elevated conflicts involving
vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Factors such
as road design, traffic control devices, and driver
behavior significantly impact intersection safety,
making it a multifaceted area for improvement. In
Mount Shasta, intersections accounted for 57.1%
of fatal and severe injury crashes, which is 32.8%
higher than the statewide average.
Goals for Emphasis Area 1:
• Reduce the frequency and severity of
intersection-related collisions
• Provide safe infrastructure for all modes of
transportation through upgrades to existing
infrastructure
• Enhance access and mobility for
pedestrians, cyclists, and users of mobility
devices
• Promote consistency in intersection design
and equipment standards
Strategies for Emphasis Area 1
• Implement systemic safety enhancements
and modify traffic signals by adding
backplates with retroreflective borders and
introducing leading pedestrian intervals at
signalized intersections
• Install curb extensions and high-visibility
crosswalks to improve pedestrian safety
• Consider further studies to evaluate the
feasibility and effectiveness of converting
certain intersections into roundabouts
Aggressive driving encompasses a combination
of moving traffic offenses that endanger others
or property. Typical behaviors associated with
aggressive driving include speeding, tailgating,
and disregarding traffic signals and signs. In Mount
Shasta, aggressive driving accounted for 57.1%
of fatal and severe injury crashes, which is 23.7%
higher than the statewide average.
Goals for Emphasis Area 2
• Reduce the frequency of crashes due to
aggressive driving
• Identify intersections and segments where
more aggressive driving collisions occur
• Apply for funding and implement
countermeasures to address aggressive
driving
Strategies for Emphasis Area 2
• Implement traffic calming improvements
• Conduct educational and outreach
campaigns to foster safe driving behaviors
Lane departure refers to instances where a
vehicle leaves its intended travel path, such as
crossing an edge line or centerline, or exiting the
traveled way. These actions frequently result in
crashes, including run-off-road, fixed object, headon, rollover, and opposite direction sideswipe collisions. In Mount Shasta, lane departure
incidents accounted for 28.6% of fatal and severe
injury crashes.

16.0 COUNTERMEASURE
TOOLBOX
This section provides information on general
identified issues, crash reduction factors,
improvements, and countermeasures identified
for the City of Mount Shasta, as well as for specific
project locations identified as part of this analysis.
Potential improvements/countermeasures are
based on data analysis, stakeholder input, and
site visits.
16.1 Countermeasure Selection
Process
Part D of the HSM provides Crash Modification
Factors (CMFs) for various roadway elements,
such as segments, intersections, and interchanges.
CMFs help estimate the safety effects of highway
improvements by comparing and selecting the
most effective treatments. A CMF less than 1.0
indicates a potential reduction in crashes, while
a CMF greater than 1.0 suggests an increase
in crashes. The Crash Reduction Factor (CRF)
is related to the CMF and shows the expected
reduction in crashes (the higher the CRF, the
greater the reduction).
CMFs are a useful tool for decision-makers when
considering safety projects, but they should be
part of a broader decision-making process.
Not all CMFs are equally reliable, so it’s important
to use those backed by strong research. The
FHWA provides a federal database of CMFs with a
star rating system to help identify the most reliable
ones.
KEY FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN USING
CMFS INCLUDE:
• Choosing the right CMF
• Estimating crashes without the treatment
• Applying CMFs by type and severity of
crashes
• Estimating the combined effect of multiple
treatments
Examples of safety countermeasures can be
found in sources like the California LRSM and the
CMF Clearinghouse website. This report highlights
countermeasures identified through data analysis
and site visits. Additional countermeasures for
Citywide issues are discussed in Section 14.
16.2 Infrastructure Improvements
This evaluation looked at Citywide trends to
identify countermeasures that would provide the
most benefit if implemented broadly. Section 14
outlines the Citywide safety project opportunities,
referred to as the “Countermeasure Toolbox.”
Each countermeasure is described along with
its LRSM ID number. The next column, CRF,
shows the expected reduction in crashes after
implementing the countermeasure (the higher the
CRF, the greater the reduction). For improvements
without a related countermeasure in the LRSM,
a conservative 5% crash reduction factor was
estimated. The costs listed in Section 10.2.3
are for planning purposes using 2025 dollars
and may change depending on site-specific
factors or construction conditions. Locationspecific recommendations for the targeted safety investigations are found in Appendix A.

17.0 PROGRESS AND TRANSPARENCY
17.1 Funding Sources
Competitive funding resources are available to
assist in the development and implementation
of safety projects in Mount Shasta. The City
should continue to seek available funding and
grant opportunities from local, state, and federal
resources to accelerate its ability to implement
safety improvements throughout Mount Shasta.
This section provides high-level introductions to
some of the main funding programs and grants for
which the City can apply.
17.1.1 Highway Safety Improvement
Program (HSIP)
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
is a federally funded, Caltrans-managed program
that apportions funding as a lump sum for each
state, which is then divided among apportioned
programs. These flexible funds can be used for
projects to preserve or improve safety conditions
and performance on any federal-aid highway,
bridge projects on any public road, facilities for
non-motorized transportation, and other project
types. Safety improvement projects eligible for this
funding include:
• Bike lanes
• High Visibility Crosswalks
• Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB)
• Other projects listed in the Caltrans Local
Roadway Safety Manual
California’s Local HSIP focuses on infrastructure
projects with nationally recognized crash reduction
factors. Normally, HSIP call-for-projects are made
at an interval of one to two years. The applicant
must be a city, a county, or a tribal government
federally recognized within the State of California.
Additional information regarding this program at
the federal level can be found online at:
https://highways.dot.gov/safety/hsip.
California-specific HSIP information– including
dates for upcoming call-for-projects – can be
found at:
https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/
fed-and-state-programs/highway-safetyimprovement-program.
17.1.2 Caltrans Active Transportation
Program
The Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP)
is a statewide funding program, created in 2013,
consolidating several federal and state programs.
The ATP funds projects that encourage increased
mode share for walking and bicycling, improve
mobility and safety for non-motorized users,
enhance public health, and decrease greenhouse
gas emissions. Projects eligible for this funding
include:
• Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure
projects
• Bicycle and pedestrian planning projects
(e.g. safe routes to school)
• Non-infrastructure programs (education and
enforcement)
This program funding is provided annually. The
ATP call for projects typically comes out in the
spring. Information on this program and cycles can

17.1.3 California SB 1
The California SB 1 is a landmark transportation
investment aimed at rebuilding California by fixing
neighborhood streets, freeways, and bridges in
communities across California. It also targets
funds toward transit and congested trade and
commute corridor improvements.
California’s state-maintained transportation
infrastructure will receive roughly half of SB 1
revenue: $26 billion. The other half will go to local
roads, transit agencies, and the expansion of the
state’s growing network of pedestrian and cycle
routes. Each year, this new funding will be used
to tackle deferred maintenance needs both on the
state highway system and the local road system,
including:
• Local Street and Road Maintenance
and Rehabilitation: $1.5 billion: this
funding is dedicated to improving local road
maintenance, rehabilitation, and/or safety
through projects such as restriping and
repaving.
• Bike and Pedestrian Projects: $100
million: this will go to cities, counties, and
regional transportation agencies to build
or convert bike paths, crosswalks, and
sidewalks. It is a significant increase in
funding for these projects through the ATP.
• Local Planning Grants: $25 million
17.1.4 Safe Streets and Roads for All
(SS4A) Grant Program
This program has allocated $1 billion annually
from 2022 to 2026 for local cities, counties,
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPOs),
and other roadway owners (excepting state
Departments of Transportation (DOTs)) for safety
improvement grants for safety planning, education,
enforcement, and roadway improvements. This
program is not benefit/cost based. Evaluation
criteria are oriented to the project’s alignment with
the Safe Systems approach. There is a 20% local
match requirement (can be in-kind contribution
via staff billable hours). Planning grants are open
to any eligible agency and implementation grants
are open to agencies with a complete safety plan
such as a Local Roadway Safety Plan and Safety
Action Plan. Planning grants are expected to range
from $100K to $1M and implementation grants
are expected to range from $1M to $20M. Grant
applications are expected to be due in mid-2025.
17.1.5 California Office of Traffic
Safety (OTS)
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) provides
grants funded through the National Highway Safety
Act to support traffic safety initiatives across the
state. These grants are designed to establish new
programs, enhance existing efforts, or address
identified gaps in current traffic safety strategies.
Pedestrian and bicycle safety are among the key
priority areas for funding. Grants are awarded
through a competitive process, with priority given
to agencies demonstrating the greatest need.
Evaluation criteria include the potential impact on
traffic safety, crash data and rankings, the severity
of identified issues, and the applicant’s past
performance on previous OTS-funded projects.
17.1.6 Recreational Trails Program
(RTP)
The Recreational Trails Program (RTP)
provides annual funding for the development
and maintenance of recreational trails and trailrelated facilities. As a state-administered local assistance program under the U.S. Department of
Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA), the RTP is managed in California by the
Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). A
variety of project types are eligible for funding:
• Maintenance of existing trails
• Development and rehabilitation of trailside
and trailhead facilities
• Construction of new trails
129
Implementation Plan 65

ACTION
PLAN
Mount Shasta
• Acquisition of easements or property for trail
usage
• Accessibility and maintenance assessments
of trail conditions
• Developing and disseminating publications
and operation of educational programs for
safety and environmental protection
17.1.7 Rails to Trails Conservancy
The goal is to promote active transportation and
physical activity by investing in trail networks
and infrastructure that make walking and biking
safer, more convenient, and accessible. By
funding active transportation projects and creating
accountability for progress on climate, equity,
and safety goals, we can support healthier, more
connected communities. Building out trail systems
and safe walking and biking routes to everyday
destinations—such as schools, workplaces, and
transit—represents essential infrastructure for
sustainable mobility.
17.1.8 Strategic Partnership
The Strategic Partnership Grant from the DOT
is designed to support transportation planning
studies – typically administrated in partnership with
state transportation agencies, such as Caltrans,
so that the planning efforts align with both regional
priorities and broader state transportation goals.
The Grant provides $1.5 million in FHWA State
Planning and Research (SPR) Part 1 funds and
$3 million in Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
– a combined total of $4.5 million.
18.0 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Once the Safety Action Plan has been completed,
the City can plan to regularly review and monitor
crash data for trends and changes. The City
can also plan to prioritize and implement certain
improvements that were identified in this Plan.
18.2 Monitoring
The City can plan to regularly monitor the success
of the Plan and its related implementations by
performing the following steps. This before-andafter analysis can be performed every second year. The City can also meet with the Police
Department on a regular basis to discuss roadway
safety issues and compare them to the latest crash
analysis.
• Pull yearly crash data from Crossroads
database to determine year-over-year trend
• Utilize Crossroads or GIS software to review
the number of crashes occurring at specific
locations. Locations where improvements
have been made should receive priority for
monitoring.
• Based upon changes in crash activity,
determine efficacy of improvements and
adjust strategies going forward
Every five (5) years, the City will perform a major
update to the analysis and the Safety Action Plan
by performing the following steps. This update will
maintain eligibility for grant funding for the City.
This analysis should continue to focus on both
systemic and location-specific safety needs.
1. Obtain updated Statewide Integrated
Traffic Records System (SWITRS)
crash data from Crossroads or TIMS
databases.
2. Identify new or changing hot spots
through GIS mapping. Review crash
data in changing trends, new land uses,
and evolving driver behaviors.
3. Update the roadway shapefile with any
new or upgraded roadways.
4. Update the intersection shapefile with
any new or upgraded intersections.

5. Evaluate crash trends to determine
whether new emphasis areas are
emerging.
6. Document implemented
countermeasures and review changes
in crash activity.
7. Review the Crash Toolbox to determine
if any additional countermeasures
should be considered for
implementation in the City.
18.3 Implementation Strategies
The opportunities identified in this report provide
systemic and location-specific countermeasures
that can be implemented within the City.
Implementation will be dictated by funding and
available resources; this guidance is preliminary
and subject to change. Over the near-term and
mid-term, the City can concentrate its efforts on
the following emphasis areas:
• Pedestrians
• Impaired Driving
• Intersection Crashes
• Young Drivers
• Aggressive Driving
Analysis conducted at the Citywide level indicated
that these factors were some of the most frequent
influences contributing to crashes within the City.
The countermeasure opportunities previously
discussed in this report for both systematic and
project-specific improvements can be used as a
basis for developing projects at locations where
addressing these focus areas would be of the most
benefit. Projects that address these focused areas
Citywide can be developed with a high benefitto-cost ratio (by applying Citywide crash rates), allowing competitive projects to be developed
even at sites with little to no direct crash history,
but with conditions that might contribute to future
crashes. For location-specific improvements, the
City can utilize benefit-to-cost ratio calculations to
help prioritize projects as funding and resources
become available.
The City can also plan to implement the nonengineering improvements identified throughout this report, including actions related to enforcement,
education, and emergency services. These
actions will require coordination with internal and
external stakeholders, such as City departments,
law enforcement, local government organizations,
and local community organizations. Early buy-in
and engagement from these stakeholders will be
key to the success of these actions.
To aid in these actions, the City can assemble a
‘Task Force’ of representatives from different City
departments, such as Public Works, Community
Development, and Code Enforcement. This
task force will be instrumental in the monitoring,
analysis update, project development, and project
implementation outlined in this Plan.
19.0 NEXT STEPS
The City has completed this Safety Action Plan to
guide the process of future transportation safety
improvements for years to come. In addition to the
actions identified in the Implementation Plan, the
City can perform the following to guide the success
of this Plan and the safety efforts overall:
• Develop an investment program to help
achieve the City’s crash reduction goals
• Work with state and partner agencies on
implementing large-scale programs and
policies
• Incorporate safety analysis findings in future
updates of safety programs
• Monitor statewide safety priorities, guidance,
and funding opportunities

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM #10
MEETING DATE: December 15, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ken Kellogg, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract with Kimley-Horn for Lake Street Reconstruction PS&E
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council approve a contract with Kimley-Horn for Plans, Specifications, Construction Estimate and Contract Package for the Reconstruction of Lake Street.
BACKGROUND:
The City received a State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) grant from the California Transportation Commission for the reconstruction of Lake Street from Rockfellow to Mt. Shasta Blvd. The first phase for 2026 is completion of the PS&E, followed by the second phase of construction.
The City issued an RFQ in October and received two qualified responses. The most highly qualified response is from Kimley-Horn. City staff found it to be thorough, professional and reflected a solid understanding of the project’s complexity including the geologic issues, snow removal, traffic calming and a complete streets approach. Their initial cost proposal was $463,425. We negotiated a revised cost proposal is $349,325. STIP funding has an allocation of $100,00. The remainder will be funded with gas tax. This will enable the City to access the $2,200,000 in STIP construction funds for the second phase.

Revised Scope of Services
Task 1: Project Management
Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed, Kimley-Horn will coordinate and attend one in-person project kickoff meeting. The primary purpose of this coordination meeting will be to define key challenges, establish communication channels, review the scope of services and grant requirements, confirm stakeholders, identify project development team (PDT) members, and establish a mutually acceptable project schedule.
This task also includes general project administration, including management of project staff, quality control, and project accounting. Kimley-Horn will attend monthly PDT meetings (assumed to be virtual via Microsoft Teams or Zoom) to discuss the project, present design concerns, identify resolutions, schedule updates, and cost considerations. For this Scope of Services, we have assumed the following:
A 13-month project duration (notice to proceed to public advertising) for a total of 11 virtual meetings and up to two in-person meetings
The Bidding Assistance and Design Services During Construction tasks have a combined 12-month duration. No scheduled meetings are included in these tasks, however, each respective task budget may include project meetings as-needed at the request of the City up to the budgeted amount for this task.
Stakeholder meetings beyond those of the monthly PDT meetings with City staff are included in Task 3: Public Outreach/Stakeholder Coordination discussed elsewhere in this Scope of Services.
Kimley-Horn will prepare agendas and track action items for each meeting. Upon completion of the project, Kimley-Horn will submit to the City pertinent design records, reports, record drawings, and other documents as requested by the City when not specifically a deliverable under other tasks listed in this Scope of Services.
Deliverables:
Project schedule and updates
Meeting agendas, minutes, and action items for all design and coordination meetings Task 2: Geotechnical Engineering
Kimley-Horn, utilizing its geotechnical engineering partner Shannon & Wilson (S&W), will provide the following geotechnical engineering services:
Project Management: S&W will attend PDT meetings when invited by Kimley-Horn, coordinate with the project team, and prepare monthly invoices, track budgets and project completion, and manage design team deliverables, including coordination with Kimley-Horn’s design team for project progression.
Reconnaissance and Advance Preparations: S&W will acquire/review readily available historical roadway as-built documents and other relevant project documentation, perform an initial site visit with the project team to review site access and site safety, observe overall general conditions for field investigation planning. S&W will photograph and document general site conditions and paint/stake boring locations and perform a pavement condition survey. S&W will prepare an encroachment permit application with the City of Mount Shasta and will prepare traffic control plans with a subconsultant and submit to the City for approval. Traffic control will follow the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) - temporary traffic control plans.
176
Subsurface Explorations: S&W will perform the following:
Mobilize pavement coring rig, Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) testing equipment, and power auger equipment to perform the subsurface field investigation work along the roadway. Core six (6) pavement locations using a 6-inch thin wall core barrel to recover pavement cores for visual inspection and measurement. Perform Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) testing in general accordance with ASTM D6951 to a depth of about 36 inches below pavement base in the underlying subgrade soils. The locations will be at approximately 500 feet on center in alternating lanes. Obtain bulk soil samples of the material in the upper 3 feet with a power auger drill at each location. Boreholes will be backfilled to a depth about 6-inches below ground surface with aggregate. The surface will be patched with Rapid Set concrete, dyed black where the existing asphalt concrete was penetrated.
Laboratory Testing: S&W will unload samples, complete custody log-in, and store, and review samples and prepare/coordinate testing instructions. S&W will review test reports. At project closure, S&W will dispose of samples at a public landfill.
Data Development and Analyses: S&W will prepare boring and vicinity maps as well as pavement section recommendations.
Reporting: S&W will prepare the Draft Geotechnical Design Report which is anticipated to include calculation summaries and the supporting data appendices. The report will be drafted and include appropriate special provisions and notes to the contractor that are to be included in the construction documents. Upon one round of comments, the final report will be prepared.
Deliverables:
Draft and final geotechnical report
Task 3: Public Outreach/Stakeholder Coordination
Kimley-Horn will support the City with preparation of public outreach and educational materials. KimleyHorn will prepare an informational flyer for distribution by City staff. Kimley-Horn will translate the flyer into Spanish. Kimley-Horn will assist with stakeholder coordination and facilitate design review meetings to receive input on design elements.
We assume that up to two (2) team members from Kimley-Horn will attend in-person at up to one (1) public workshop and/or stakeholder coordination meeting related to the project. We also assume up to three (3) virtual meetings for stakeholder coordination.
Our Scope of Services includes up to 60 hours for stakeholder coordination and development of one flyer.

We assume the City will provide existing records prior to the project kick-off meeting, and Kimley-Horn will review existing records, maps, and data including project records, as-built drawings, studies, reports, maps, and any other documents relevant to the limits and scope of this project. Kimley-Horn will perform two (2) site visits with up to two (2) staff and will provide a one-time photographic record or video recording of the existing site conditions.
Task 4.2: 30% Plans
Based on information received in the City-furnished topographic survey, Kimley-Horn will prepare 30% level design documents, inclusive of construction plans and opinion of probable construction cost (i.e., cost estimate) for City review and comment. The 30% plans will incorporate critical design elements on the following sheets: cover sheet, cross sections, layout plans, drainage plans, and signing and striping plans.
The existing right-of-way, easements, and other pertinent elements will be shown on the plans if included in the City-furnished topographic survey.
Task 4.3: 65% Plans and Estimate
Following receipt of one set of consolidated, non-conflicting City redlines on the 30% plans, Kimley-Horn will advance the design to the 65% level, inclusive of plans and cost estimate for review and comment.
Kimley-Horn will include a preliminary hydrology and hydraulics memorandum with this submittal package.
We assume this submittal will include the following sheets:
Cover Sheet – 1 sheet
General Notes/Abbreviations/Legend – 1 sheet
Typical Sections – 1 sheet
Horizontal/Vertical Control – 1 sheet

178
Task 4.6: Draft 100% PS&E
Based upon one set of consolidated, non-conflicting City redlines as well as comments from the constructability review, Kimley-Horn will prepare and submit Draft 100% design documents, inclusive of plans, specifications, and cost estimate for City review and comment. Kimley-Horn will prepare a responseto-comments matrix for City comments stemming from the 90% review.
Task 4.7: Final 100% PS&E
Based upon one set of consolidated, non-conflicting City redlines comments from their review of the Draft 100% design documents, Kimley-Horn will prepare and submit Final 100% design documents, inclusive of plans, specifications, and cost estimate signed by the engineer in responsible charge ready for public advertisement. Kimley-Horn will prepare a response-to-comments matrix for City comments. Additional revisions to the Final 100% PS&E package will be considered additional scope and can be performed for an additional fee.
Assumptions:
The City will furnish the topographic survey to Kimley-Horn, along with any required supplemental topographic survey should such become necessary to complete the design of the project. The City has completed all environmental documents to comply with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines and will furnish to Kimley-Horn the approved CEQA document, understood to be a Negative Declaration.
The project will not require obtaining any permits from environmental regulatory agencies. The project will occur completely within the public right-of-way, on City-owned property, or within City-owned easements. No right-of-way services to obtain easements or acquisition of real property is included in this Scope of Services.
Storm drainage system assumptions include the following:
o For the purposes of this Scope of Services, storm drain infrastructure outside of the existing paved roadway of Lake Street is considered “offsite.” We assume no offsite upstream or downstream storm drain improvements; existing upstream and downstream offsite storm drain are assumed adequate or will be improved as part of a separate City project. o Hydrology: Rational Method within an approximate 30 acre local watershed. Design storm analysis shall match the current Mt Shasta Stormwater Improvement project (10yr, 20yr, 100yr) lead by Progression Engineering.
o Hydraulics: Hydraflow Storm Sewers utilizing Manning’s equation. Hydraulic design shall match the current Mt Shasta Stormwater Improvement project (approximately 10 yr capacity) lead by Progression Engineering.
o We assume the existing storm drain main within the project limits shall remain in o Place. Proposed storm drain design will be limited to up to four (4) curb catch basins and storm drain laterals connecting to the existing storm drain mains, with 6”-8” high curbs, even if the Hydrology and Hydraulics analysis shows deficiencies. The Kimley-Horn team and City assume the project is intended to be a roadway reconstruction project and not a storm drain upgrade project.
o The project is exempt (i.e., non regulated project) from post construction stormwater treatment (e.g., bioretention, pervious pavements, treatment of 85th percentile, hydromodification) for Phase 2 permittees: pavement grinding and resurfacing of existing roadways and parking lots; construction of new sidewalks, pedestrian ramps, or bike lanes on existing roadways; or routine replacement of damaged pavement such as pothole repair or replacement of short, non-contiguous sections of roadway 179

The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate with pertinent utility owners to clear the project for construction.
Utility coordination will include:
Task 5.1: Facility Mapping
Kimley-Horn will request from known utility owners mapping of overhead and underground utilities (i.e., ‘A’ Letter). Utility-furnished mapping will be shown in the project plans. Utility design is not included in this Scope of Services but could be provided for additional scope and fee. ‘A’ Letters will be submitted to the following utility owners as listed by USA North 811: AT&T, Hunter Communications, Inc., Northland Cable TV, and Pacific Power and Light Company. Kimley-Horn assumes the City will provide facility maps for Cityowned water, sanitary sewer, and storm drain infrastructure within the project area.
Task 5.2: Utility Designating
Kimley-Horn, through its utility locating partner T2ue, will identify and designate underground utilities within the project limits. T2ue will sweep the project area using tandem passive induction, radio and power signature scanning, and ground penetrating radar. Utilities will be marked in the field with pink paint or flags as appropriate. Marked or located utilities will be shown in the project plans.
Task 5.3: Utility Potholing
Not included in this Scope of Services.
Task 5.4: Utility Conflict Resolution
Upon completion of the 65% PS&E submittal, Kimley-Horn will coordinate with impacted utility owners by submitting written notification (i.e., ‘B’ Letters). We will submit a conflict map and request a claim letter with determination of liability for who is financially responsible for the utility work.
While federal funding is not part of this project, Kimley-Horn will prepare draft utility packages following the process established in Chapter 14, Utility Relocations, of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual. The utility packages will consist of the following documents:
Notice to Owner (LAPM Exhibit 14-D)
Report of Investigation (LAPM Exhibit 14-E)
Utility Claim Letter
Engineer’s Cost Estimate for the Utility Work
Utility Agreement (LAPM Exhibit 14-F)
Kimley-Horn will provide communication with utility owners to seek resolution to impacted facilities with a relocation plan by their respective owner. Once the City and utility owners agree upon liability, Kimley-Horn will issue the final utility notifications (i.e., ‘C’ Letters) in the form of the Notice to Owner. Each utility company shall then be responsible for relocating their facilities to meet the project schedule. 180
We assume that all utility communication will be electronic, and as such, no in-person meetings are included in this Scope of Services for on-site utility coordination meetings. We also assume full utility packages will be prepared for up to two (2) of the four utility providers listed in the Facility Mapping section above. Should additional utility packages be required, Kimley-Horn will provide such at additional scope and fee.
Our Scope of Services includes up to 40 hours to complete utility conflict resolution. Time required to complete utility conflict resolution beyond the time identified in this paragraph can be provided for additional scope and fee.
Deliverables:
Utility coordination consisting of ‘A,’ ‘B,’ and ‘C’ Letters with supporting utility packages Task 6: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
Kimley-Horn will designate a staff member as the Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) for the project. The QSD will lead and review the preparation of one Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) report for the proposed project as required by the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Construction General Permit (CGP) Order 2022-0057-DWQ (with amendments), effective date September 1, 2023. The SWPPP will be based on the City-furnished topographic survey and consultant-provided project grading plan, included within the approved improvement plans, to address the following objectives:
1. Address pollutants and their source including sources of sediment associated with construction, construction site erosion, and other activities associated with construction activity
2. Identify Best Management Practices (BMPs) relevant to the project
3. Provide Erosion Control Plans to show BMP locations
Kimley-Horn will upload the required documents to the State Water Boards Storm Water Multi-Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) for the Notice of Intent (NOI). This includes the following Permit Registration Documents (PRDs): the SWPPP document, Erosion Control Plans, and post-construction compliance documents.
Kimley Horn will assist in filing the NOI, submitting the Project Required Documents (PRDs), and creating the governing construction SWPPP files. We assume that the City will supply all the necessary construction documents, including scaled drawings, Title Report (if applicable), and other site information necessary to successfully create and submit the PRDs to the satisfaction of the reviewing agency.
The City is obligated to certify the necessary paperwork (NOI, Notice of Termination, etc.) with the SWRCB or other jurisdictions to comply with any applicable laws. Kimley-Horn is not responsible for implementation of the SWPPP, BMP selections made in the field, stormwater sampling, or fees related to permitting. The effort for this task also assumes the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) will not require any additional storm water pollution prevention measures or processes beyond those required by the CGP.
The Legally Responsible Person (LRP), or the City as the LRP designated representative, will be required to sign the appropriate applications, waivers, and agreements that are part of the LRP and SWPPP document process. Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP) services, required inspections, annual reports, and filing of the 181
Notice of Termination (NOT) are not included in this Scope of Services as they are typically provided by the City’s construction contractor.
Kimley-Horn assumes the following related to the SWPPP:
The contractor will hire their own QSD and a change of QSD will take place prior to construction.
No site inspections are included as part of this Scope of Services. The project will be a Risk Level 1 or 2.
NOI fees will be paid by the City.
No dewatering activities will be anticipated.
It is not anticipated that SWPPP document amendments will be required.
Deliverables:
Stormwater pollution prevention plan
Task 7: Bidding Assistance
Kimley-Horn will provide support to the City during the bidding phase by attending one pre-bid meeting (assumes in-field meeting), reviewing and responding to bidders’ questions and requests for information (RFIs), providing addenda to the construction documents, as needed, and reviewing bids for responsiveness and reasonableness subject to the allocated budget for this task. Our Scope of Services includes up to 30 hours for bidding assistance.
Deliverables:
Attendance at pre-bid meeting
Attendance at bid opening meeting (if needed)
Responses to RFIs and preparation of addenda (if needed) Review bids for responsiveness and reasonableness

Todd Juhasz | City Manager
City of Mount Shasta
305 N. Mount Shasta Boulevard
Mount Shasta, California 96067
RE: Qualifications for Design Services for Roadway Reconstruction of Lake Street Dear Mr. Juhasz and Members of the Selection Committee:
The City of Mount Shasta (City) desires to make significant investments through prioritizing multimodal improvements meeting the needs of the one—the one school child traveling to class, the one business owner hoping for additional foot traffic, and the one cyclist enjoying a leisure ride around town. All of these “ones” desire a multifaceted transportation system that meets their unique, personal needs. To achieve these individualized needs, while delivering exceptional client service along the way, the City needs only one consultant partner, and Kimley-Horn is the one!
Kimley-Horn is a full-service engineering, planning, and environmental consulting firm providing services to public and private sector clients nationwide. Since our founding in 1967, Kimley-Horn has grown from a small group of traffic engineers and transportation planners to a nationwide firm, including 15 offices in California.
We are passionate about complete streets projects, which has contributed to Engineering News-Record ranking our firm 8th overall among the nation’s top 500 design firms for 2025.
As you consider our comprehensive response to this solicitation, please note the following key aspects and separators we provide:
“City Engineer” Perspective. Our Project Manager, Hunter Young, PE, has 18 years of experience managing complex bicycle, pedestrian, and roadway projects. Having spent 13 years as a public works engineer, including twice as a City Engineer, he brings unparalleled knowledge of municipal engineering. Through his unique experience, Hunter will be your day-to-day partner and will be able to more easily and proactively anticipate the project’s needs. Others are simply unable to match his qualifications and Kimley-Horn’s advantageous position to be your consultant partner.
» Kimley-Horn’s Advantage to the City. Hunter understands how municipalities function, the demands on limited staffing levels, and need to complete milestones on time for successful reporting not only to the State but to elected officials and the City Manager’s office. He’s keenly aware of how politics plays into the decision-making process at all levels of a project recognizing that the right engineering decision may not always be the best decision for the City at large.
Broad Complete Streets Expertise. Kimley-Horn provides extensive experience in complete streets projects. Many consultants can speak to the engineering elements and their ability to prepare construction documents, but what sets Kimley-Horn apart is our ability to provide you with deep insights and a proven track record of leading projects all the way through to construction. Our approach to these projects is informed by our wide portfolio of successful complete streets, roundabout, and multimodal projects throughout Northern California. You are collaborating with a team that knows how to make this project a success and make its delivery seamless. » Kimley-Horn’s Advantage to the City. We understand the delicate balance between technical experience and the soft skills necessary to meaningfully engage the community and stakeholders during the design phase resulting in a well-informed project.
As trusted advisors, we can act as an extension of City staff saving you time and preventing frustration.

Project Understanding and Approach
A Complete Streets Approach
The City of Mount Shasta desires to retain a highly qualified engineering team to deliver professional engineering services in connection with the Lake Street Roadway Reconstruction Project (Project). The Project will rehabilitate East Lake Street/Everitt Memorial Highway between Mount Shasta Boulevard and Rockfellow Drive, a distance of nearly 0.6 miles. As a gateway into Downtown Mount Shasta as well as safe routes to school corridor to multiple campuses, the City desires to rehabilitate the roadway while also installing an array of complete streets elements, including ADA curb ramps, infill sidewalk gap closures, bike lanes, traffic calming strategies, pedestrian bulb-outs, pedestrian-scale street lighting, community gateway features, and public transit enhancements.
Removal of barriers to entry for those who desire to walk, bike, or roll is vital to the quality of life for residents, businesses, and students traveling to school. Kimley-Horn understands the importance of complete streets projects to a community and, as demonstrated throughout this proposal, has extensive experience delivering similar projects of various sizes throughout Northern California.
With one Project terminus in Downtown Mount Shasta, it is imperative to understand that community gatherings are the heart and soul of foothill communities; however, they also may generate significant traffic and challenges associated with parking. The Kimley-Horn team desires the Lake Street Roadway Reconstruction Project to complement, not detract, from the ambiance and small-town charm present on Mount Shasta Boulevard.
Existing conditions on Lake Street present unique challenges for the City, as depicted in Figure 1.
Pavement Preservation
In 2021, the Siskiyou County Local Transportation Commission, which serves as the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency, released the Siskiyou County Regional Transportation Plan (Plan). The Plan serves as a visionary document guiding transportation investments across Siskiyou County. The Plan also identifies a common theme among many public agencies, which is a downward trend in the pavement condition index (PCI). Table 2.15 of the Plan indicates that the City of Mount Shasta has followed this general trend with an average PCI value below
49. Consequently, the Plan identifies the current Lake Street Roadway Reconstruction Project as a “short term” improvement to reconstruct Lake Street between Mount Shasta Boulevard and Rockfellow Drive resulting in a multimodal project for users of all ages and abilities. The existing asphalt pavement on Lake Street has reached the end of its useful life and includes large areas of alligator cracking and other high-severity distresses. The pavement failure is likely attributed to multiple factors, including but not limited to, freeze/thaw cycles, base failure, and drainage challenges.
Kimley-Horn team members conducted a site visit and observed existing conditions noting the potential for performing both traditional pavement rehabilitation (i.e., pavement section reconstruction) and alternative options, including full-depth reclamation (FDR) rehabilitation techniques.

Other Considerations
The Kimley-Horn team conducted extensive research to
understand the project area. We are aware of the winter 2017 flooding and the concerns the City has with increased flooding due to climate change. Our proposed road geometry and pavement design will incorporate surface runoff, drainage improvements, and freeze depths to provide the City with a reliable and resilient roadway while offering pedestrians and cyclists safe facilities to reach schools, parks, and shopping districts. Kimley-Horn understands the need for connectivity between where residents live to desired destinations. As such, we will review the Lake Street Complete Streets Plan to implement direct connections that may not necessarily lead pedestrians to travel along Lake Street if alternative pathways are viable solutions, including pedestrian facilities through Sisson Meadow immediately west of Lake Street.
Our team is aware of the current Cold Creek drainage modeling and improvement projects. The initial modeling prepared by our team member, Progression Engineering, under a separate project indicates there is no street flooding per the included images. However, we are aware that the City’s storm drain system is very old and a replacement as a part of this project could be cost-effective for the City. Our project team is prepared to design storm drain replacements/upgrades within Lake Street.
In June 2024, the City received a biological study report (Report) prepared by Enplan for the South Downtown Infrastructure Improvements Project. The Report’s study area includes the entirety of the proposed roadway reconstruction work on East Lake Street between Mount Shasta Boulevard and Rockfellow Drive, and identifies proposed infrastructure upgrades to replace outdated sanitary sewer and water main facilities. The Report also identifies the potential for wetlands along East Lake Street between Birch Street and Magnolia Street. Depending on the timeline of these utility improvements, the City may give consideration to designing and constructing these upgrades concurrent with the roadway rehabilitation project to: 1) avoid trenching into new asphalt thereby reducing the life of the new roadway; 2) take advantage of economies of scale for the best construction pricing; and 3) minimize impact to residents as a result of additional construction noise, dust, and traffic. Taking a holistic approach to complete streets design will lead to wise investments on the part of the City.
Future Potential
The signalized intersection of Mount Shasta Boulevard
at Lake Street is a core intersection controlling not
only vehicular traffic but also regulating the safe
passage of pedestrian foot traffic. Based on decades
of leading complete streets projects, Kimley-Horn
believes this signalized intersection has the potential for future conversion to a mini or moderately sized
roundabout that prioritizes non-motorized traffic and
enhances operational efficiency of vehicular travel.
Figure 2 conveys a conceptual roundabout layout for the intersection of Mount Shasta Boulevard at Lake Street
that could be studied for a future enhancement to the
downtown business district.

To successfully deliver the Project, the Kimley-Horn team will develop working relationships with stakeholders and act as a true extension of City staff. During his 13 years in public service, our Project Manager, Hunter Young, PE, managed dozens of roadway rehabilitation projects through various stages of project development. Kimley-Horn’s philosophy is best summarized in one word—communication. Our team is successful because we communicate with our clients in the ways with which they want to communicate, resulting in increased awareness of project challenges, deliverable schedules, and funding constraints. Our team is also familiar with design standards applicable to the Project, including City and Caltrans’ Standard Plans and Specifications.
Potential Challenges and Resolutions
Kimley-Horn anticipates the Project will have barriers that must be quickly identified and addressed to be successful. Based upon our site visit to study the Project location, the following are a sample of challenges we anticipate and how we plan to resolve them—proactively.
Design
Challenge: The City of Mount Shasta desires to rehabilitate Lake Street/Everitt Memorial Highway to obtain a design life of at least 20 years. Based on field observations and prior experience, the Kimley-Horn team understands that multiple environmental factors, including, but not limited to, freeze/thaw cycles and potentially poor surface drainage, are contributing factors to the existing pavement conditions.
The pavement includes extensive alligator cracking, longitudinal and transverse cracking, and rutting as shown in Figure 3. We anticipate poor roadway base and subbase conditions have exacerbated the rate at which the roadway has failed, in part to water intrusion. Identifying the proper rehabilitation means and methods is critical to the long-term success of the project and maintaining a high PCI along the corridor.
In addition to pavement rehabilitation, the intersection of Lake Street at Rockfellow Drive may have striping and other improvements outside the boundary of the City-furnished topographic survey.
Resolution: In concert with our team’s geotechnical engineering partners and Kimley-Horn’s internal pavement management experts, the proposed pavement can include an enhanced crown to promote positive drainage as well as subsurface drainage improvements both of which are key elements to pavement longevity. The Kimley-Horn team believes a grind and overlay will not achieve the 20-year lifespan without substantial improvements to the subbase. For this reason, consideration should be given to full-depth reclamation using cement (FDR-C) as a cost-effective method for pavement rehabilitation. Consideration should also be given to collecting supplemental topographic survey should design work occur north of Rockfellow Drive. Kimley-Horn assumes the City could provide supplemental survey should the need arise.
Environmental
Challenge: Protecting the City’s natural waterways and creeks is vitally important to wildlife and the proper discharge of surface water. With complete streets projects, our experience has informed us that the pavement section is not the only consideration when scoping a project.
Frequently public agencies neglect to consider the damage done to the environment, or roadway itself, when rusted corrugated metal pipes (CMP) conveying storm drain water fail. Failed CMP can result in flakes of rusted steel breaking away from storm drain pipes polluting waterways and creating the potential for sink holes. In addition to failed CMP, joints in other types of storm drain pipe, including reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), can be a source for infiltration of water into the road base.
Truly understanding where water challenges originate and where water desires to discharge will inform proper design and environmental approaches.
Resolution: Kimley-Horn understands the need to address storm drain infrastructure prior to pavement rehabilitation. As such, we have partnered with Progression Engineering, whom the City has retained under a separate contract to perform a full review of the existing storm drain system, a catch basin of which is shown in Figure 4. We will leverage Progression’s institutional knowledge of the City’s system and incorporate improvements where appropriate with the singular focus of extending the life of the new pavement system while protecting potential wetlands as identified in the City’s June 2024 biological study report for the South Downtown Infrastructure Improvements Project.

Right-of-Way (ROW)
Challenge: ADA curb ramps in a downtown business district can often be difficult to construct. For example, the curb ramps on Lake Street at Mount Shasta Boulevard, as shown in Figure 5, present unique challenges, including, but not limited to, pedestrian safety from of a lack of detour options; constrained working spaces; and impacts to operating businesses during peak busy season as a result of noise, fugitive dust, and temporary loss of parking stemming from construction vehicles. These issues often result in less foot traffic for business owners and frequent phone calls to the City Manager’s office.
Resolution: Kimley-Horn understands the Project will require frequent and ongoing communication with private property owners. Such communication is key to understanding concerns and achieving mutually-agreed upon action items. For example, in 2016, our Project Manager, Hunter Young, PE, provided in-house Resident Engineer services during construction of similarly challenging curb ramps in Downtown San Rafael, Marin County. After meeting with an adjacent property owner of a very busy fast casual restaurant, the City and construction contractor partnered with the property owner to schedule a continuous sequence of activities allowing for back-to-back shifts for demolition and installation of a new ADA curb ramp over an 18-hour period before opening the sidewalk to pedestrian traffic. Proactive coordination with property owners can alleviate the greatest construction impact, lack of information! Utility Coordination
Challenge: Based upon our site reconnaissance and field-observed USA markings, as shown in Figure 6, the Project corridor includes various underground utilities. With the potential to utilize pavement rehabilitation techniques reaching a depth of approximately 12-18”, understanding the depth of existing utilities is crucial to avoiding contractor delays with a crew mobilized on site. To clear the project for construction, the City must demonstrate it has properly coordinated with impacted utility owners via the ABC Letter process, including the adjustment of manhole covers, gas/water valve covers, monuments, and other utility covers.
Resolution: Avoiding utility conflicts is important to maintaining the project schedule and reducing project costs. As such, Kimley-Horn’s team includes an optional tasks of a private utility locator to verify the horizontal alignment of wet and dry utilities increasing the level of confidence during the design phase. This reduces the potential for costly contract change orders during construction. If utility conflicts arise that cannot be avoided, Kimley-Horn will proactively work with the City and utility owners to resolve utility impacts. Our experience has shown that utility coordination can be solely responsible for delaying projects entering construction. We recommend starting utility coordination early and host recurring check-in meetings to keep utility partners abreast of the project status.
Inappropriately assuming that utility owners are actively working on the City’s project after initial notification could result in significant delays.
Construction
Challenge: Kimley-Horn understands that construction plans are prepared in 2-D CAD files, however, they must be implemented in a 3-D real-world environment.
While public agencies avoid dictating the means and methods of how a contractor may prosecute construction, the contract documents must adequately address major constraints that bidding estimators need to accurately price projects.
Examples of frequently overlooked constraints include, but are not limited to, traffic control/lane closure requirements, working hour constraints, holiday moratoriums, staging and/or laydown areas, business owner communication, public outreach requirements, environmental mitigation requirements, and how to keep the public moving during an extended construction season.

Additionally, the technical specifications must reference the City’s Quality Assurance Program (QAP), including, but not limited to, proper testing of materials permanently incorporated during construction and submittal of Certificates of Compliance. For this project, attention must be given to when work is performed as a result of climate constraints at certain times of the year. While not a federally funded project subject to the requirements of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), our Project Manager, Hunter Young, PE, attended the Caltrans Resident Engineer Academy to hone his construction-related experience while serving as a Principal Civil Engineer for the City of Citrus Heights.
Resolution: Kimley-Horn will provide quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) at each milestone for the project following the Kimley-Horn QC/QA manual to ensure quality work deliverables are provided to the City. Additionally, Kimley-Horn’s team includes Progression Engineering to provide a constructability review of the contract documents with an eye toward identifying construction challenges and considering at each stage “how will the contractor actually build this project?”. This will ensure that contractor pricing is the most competitive for the Project and will minimize the potential for contract change orders.
Scope of Services
Kimley-Horn has reviewed the City’s Scope of Services included in the RFQ, and we have developed a detailed scope that provides a clear and concise outline of actions and milestones that seeks to meet the goals and objectives of the Project.

Task 5: Utility Coordination
The Kimley-Horn team will coordinate with pertinent utility owners to clear the project for construction. Utility coordination will include:
Task 5.1: Facility Mapping
Kimley-Horn will request from known utility owners mapping of overhead and underground utilities (i.e., ‘A’ Letter). Utility-furnished mapping will be shown in the project plans. Utility design is not included in this Scope of Services but could be provided for additional scope and fee. ‘A’ Letters will be submitted to the following utility owners as listed by USA North 811: AT&T, Hunter Communications, Inc., Northland Cable TV, and Pacific Power and Light Company. Kimley-Horn assumes the City will provide facility maps for City-owned water, sanitary sewer, and storm drain infrastructure within the Project area.
Task 5.2: Utility Designating
Kimley-Horn, through its utility locating partner T2ue, will identify and designate underground utilities within the Project limits. T2ue will sweep the Project area using tandem passive induction, radio and power signature scanning, and ground penetrating radar. Utilities will be marked in the field with pink paint or flags as appropriate. Marked or located utilities will be shown in the project plans.
Task 5.3: Utility Potholing (Optional Task)
T2ue will positively locate underground utilities within the Project limits by means of potholing for up to ten (10) test holes. Additional potholing can be provided for additional scope and fee should project conditions require additional test holes.
Task 5.4: Utility Conflict Resolution
Upon completion of the 65% PS&E submittal, Kimley-Horn will coordinate with impacted utility owners by submitting written notification (i.e., ‘B’ Letters). We will submit a conflict map and request a claim letter with determination of liability for who is financially responsible for the utility work.
While federal funding is not part of this project, Kimley-Horn will prepare draft utility packages following the process established in Chapter 14, Utility Relocations, of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual. The utility packages will consist of the following documents:
• Notice to Owner (LAPM Exhibit 14-D)
• Report of Investigation (LAPM Exhibit 14-E)
• Utility Claim Letter
• Engineer’s Cost Estimate for the Utility Work
• Utility Agreement (LAPM Exhibit 14-F)
Kimley-Horn will provide communication with utility owners to seek resolution to impacted facilities with a relocation plan by their respective owner. Once the City and utility owners agree upon liability, Kimley-Horn will issue the final utility notifications (i.e., ‘C’ Letters) in the form of the Notice to Owner. Each utility company shall then be responsible for relocating their facilities to meet the project schedule.
We assume that all utility communication will be electronic, and as such, no in-person meetings are included in this Scope of Services for onsite utility coordination meetings. We also assume full utility packages will be prepared for up to two (2) of the four utility providers listed in the Facility Mapping section above. Should additional utility packages be required, Kimley-Horn will provide such at additional scope and fee.
Our Scope of Services includes up to 45 hours to complete utility conflict resolution. Time required to complete utility conflict resolution beyond the time identified in this paragraph can be provided for additional scope and fee.
Deliverables:
• Utility coordination consisting of ‘A,’ ‘B,’ and ‘C’ Letters with supporting utility packages • Potholing results

• City of Oceanside, Coast Highway Corridor Design, Oceanside, CA – Project Engineer. Coast Highway, also known as the US Historic Route 101, traverses Oceanside in a north-south direction a few blocks east of the beach and serves as a local roadway as well as a pass-through arterial for I-5 traffic. The City of Oceanside’s vision for the corridor includes several core objectives, including revitalizing the corridor, enhancing mobility for all modes using and crossing the corridor, and incorporating infrastructure that improves safety and comfort for all user groups by means of a road diet and traffic calming features. Although this project is not a road widening project, the complexities of designing in a built-out downtown as well as the project’s environmental components introduced substantial challenges that have to be carefully navigated, from ADA compliance to ROW and utility impacts. This phase of design includes 1.5 miles of a road diet and traffic calming features along Coast Highway that include reducing the number of lanes from four to two (one lane in each direction), five mid-block crosswalks with bulb-outs, two traffic signal modifications, five roundabouts, a raised median, drainage improvements to mitigate existing flooding conditions, streetscape features that will create a space in the public right-of-away for bicycle facilities, pedestrian safety lighting, sidewalks, and additional landscaping. This project includes coordination with the North County Transit District (NCTD) for bus stop relocations and consolidations as well as designing for NCTD’s bus routes so the roundabouts can be accommodated, San Diego Gas & Electric coordination for power pole relocations, ROW acquisitions, and the entitlement and permitting process with the California Coastal Commission.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM #12
MEETING DATE: December 15, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Todd Juhasz, City Manager
SUBJECT: WBC Campaigns
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend that Council approve the continuation of WBC Campaign’s work to help ensure that the City is able to pass a tax measure in support of public safety.
Background:
In early 2025, an in-house audit revealed that prior projections were based on faulty assumptions, indicating that the predicted reserves for 2025 and 2026 would not materialize.
The review identified that the City was deficit spending by approximately $500,000. Based on this information, all departments immediately implemented significant cuts, including a hiring freeze on vacant and key positions in the Fire and Police Departments.
WBC Campaigns Contract Continuation
WBC Campaigns is a specialized firm that conducts statistically valid voter surveys, analysis, and targeted communication regarding local measures. WBC's current contract with the City of Mt Shasta expires at the end of December 2025.
To maintain momentum toward placing a sales tax measure on the November ballot, staff recommend extending the contract. The scope of work will include:
• Additional town hall meetings.
• Utility bill inserts.
• Meetings with previously identified citizens, business owners, and neighborhood groups. • Maintaining an active online presence to field public questions about city services, the budget, and the proposed measure.

City of Mount Shasta
Potential Sales Tax Measure
Education & Outreach Efforts
November 2026
Inform • Engage • Involve
Building an Informed Community
Purpose & Legal Guardrails.
This plan provides a neutral, informational framework to help Mount Shasta residents understand:
• Why the City is evaluating a local sales-tax increase, • What the proposed 1.5-cent measure would do,
• How accountability mechanisms would operate, and
• How residents can participate, ask questions, and access factual information.
Legal Context.
Under California law (e.g., Stanson v. Mott 1976; Vargas v. City of Salinas 2009), a public agency may inform but not advocate. All content, timing, tone, and distribution must remain educational—never urging a “Yes” or “No” vote.
Compliance Checklist.
☐ City Attorney review of outward communication
☐ Neutrality statement on all materials
☐ Balanced presentation of facts and alternatives
☐ Citation of sources (budget reports, audits, service data) 225
Audiences & Goals.
Primary audiences: 2,313 local Mount Shasta voters, residents, business owners, seniors, parents, civic and service organizations, public-safety volunteers.
Communications and Platforms.
Between now and November 2026, the City of Mount Shasta can continue informing and educating its voters about the potential local sales tax measure.
Opportunities include
o Microsite on the City’s webpage with information about the tax measure o Two Town Hall meetings
o Bi-weekly content for the City website
o Content for newsletters
o Content for utility bill inserts
o Content for City social media pages
o Intergovernmental communications
o Posters around downtown
o Bi-weekly communications with Mount Shasta Influentials o Community listening sessions with business and neighborhood groups. o Online question form and printed comment cards.

Key Informational Messages.
• Mount Shasta is a special community. Our families, businesses, and visitors count on the security of knowing that when there’s a fire, a medical emergency, or a call for help, trained professionals will be there—quickly and effectively. • But without new, stable sources of revenue, that certainty is at risk. • That is why the City of Mount Shasta is researching and considering placing a local revenue measure on an upcoming ballot.
• The City has already cut its budget and has not filled several positions. • Unless we act, Mount Shasta will face firefighter layoffs, reduced wildfire prevention, slower 911 response times, and cuts to law enforcement and other city services.
• A 1.50% increase in the local sales tax is being considered a crucial measure to protect public safety, preserve vital city services, and prevent devastating losses.
What’s at Stake if Additional Revenue
is not secured:
• Firefighter layoffs and service cuts: Without new funding, our Fire Department will be forced to eliminate positions. That means fewer firefighters available to stop fires before they spread and threaten homes, businesses, and lives, and slower 911 response times.
Why is a 1.50% local sales tax being
considered?
• After years of belt-tightening—reducing overhead, delaying maintenance, and squeezing every efficiency—the next "cuts" won't be to paperwork. They will include people and programs, such as fewer firefighters on duty, slower 911 response times, and reduced capacity to prevent minor incidents from escalating into large, dangerous fires.
227
What the measure would do:
• Prioritize Fire & Public Safety: Prevent cuts and maintain full staffing for firefighters; fund wildfire prevention (defensible space, fuel reduction, equipment); and protect current emergency response times. • Support law enforcement & essential services: Keep patrols, investigations, and community safety programs stable—while sustaining basic City services that residents see and use.
• Keep funds local: Every dollar is legally required to stay in Mount Shasta—not the State or county. Annual independent audits and a Citizens Oversight Committee ensure funds are spent as promised.
Without new, stable revenue,
Mount Shasta faces:
• Layoffs of firefighters and police officers.
• Longer 911 response times—seconds and minutes that can mean the difference in medical and fire outcomes.
• Cuts to wildfire prevention—reduced fuel management and community riskreduction work, raising the odds that small fires become major incidents.
Safeguards you can see:
• Citizens Oversight Committee: Residents will review spending and issue public reports.
• Annual independent audits: Transparent accounting you can verify. • All funds are locked to Mount Shasta to address local needs, as required by law.
The State cannot take the funds—it all stays in Mount Shasta. 228
Cost and who pays:
• A 1.50% local sales tax equals $1.50 on a $100 purchase and $15.00 on $1,000.
Because Mt. Shasta hosts visitors, a meaningful share of the revenue is paid by tourists and non-residents, easing the burden on locals while protecting local services. Voters identified this as a key benefit.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM #13
MEETING DATE: December 15, 2025
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Todd Juhasz, City Manager
SUBJECT: Revocation of the LOGE’s business license after repeated failures to pay back TOT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff suggests Council approve scheduling a public hearing for the first meeting in January to consider the revocation of the LOGE's business license.
BACKGROUND:
The City has repeatedly filed civil cases against the owners of the LOGE Mt Shasta (now the Summit View Inn) due to their habitual delinquency in paying Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT).
The entity has been in arrears three times, sometimes owing up to six months of back TOT.
While the owners promptly pay the outstanding amount and cover the City's legal costs after a civil case is filed, they are currently three months delinquent. Given this third offense, the City is initiating another civil filing, as it is now evident that the entity is not willing to consistently comply with State law.
