TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Rachel Agron, Deputy City Clerk
SUBJECT: Vacant City Council Seat
X Regular Special Consent Closed
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council choose to appoint a member of the public to fill the vacant City Council seat.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Government Code section 36512(b), the City Council must consider whether to appoint a member of the public to fill the vacant City Council seat or fill the seat by election.
DISCUSSION: Government Code section 36512(b) establishes two courses of action that are allowed when there is a vacancy of an elected council seat: the body shall either appoint a person to fill the vacancy, or call for a special election to fill the vacancy. However, a special election may only be called at least 114 days after the time of making the decision to hold an election, which would fall after the November 3, 2026 election.
FISCAL IMPACT: Appointing a member of the public to fill the vacant City Council seat will save the City the expense of organizing a special election.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA, Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3)). 4 August 31, 2026

Staff Report
www.mtshastaca.gov | YEAR-ROUND RECREATIONAL CENTER | www.visitmtshasta.com/ MEETING DATE: August 31, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Kim Fowler, Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: General Fund Budget Adjustment and Contract Approval for WBC Campaigns
X Regular Special Consent Closed
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to approve a budget adjustment in the amount of $27,947 and approve a contract with WBC Campaigns.
BACKGROUND: WBC Campaigns is a specialized firm that conducts statistically valid voter surveys, analysis, and targeted communication regarding local measures. WBC Campaigns was under contract with the city for work related to Measure H through the end of 2025. On December 15, 2025, the City Council approved the continuation of work by WBC Campaigns to further help the city with efforts related to Measure H.
DISCUSSION: The staff report prepared for the December 15, 2025 City Council meeting included a typographical error that resulted in an incorrect budget adjustment amount that was approved. A contract was also never drafted or approved; both items are addressed as part of staff’s recommendation.
Specifically, staff requested a budget amount of $22,200, but an amount of $22,000 was noted in the staff report. Separately, the City Council approved an amount of $5,747 to cover costs incurred over and above the original contract amount of $45,000. Finally, neither a contract or budget amendment was executed.
The total amount to be approved is $27,947. A contract, resolution appropriating this amount, and a copy of the staff budget adjustment request form are included herein.
FISCAL IMPACT: This item includes a General Fund budget amendment request of $27,947 to be paid to WBC Campaigns.
42 August 31, 2026
www.mtshastaca.gov | YEAR-ROUND RECREATIONAL CENTER | www.visitmtshasta.com/ ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment (CEQA, Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3)).
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act.

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) 51 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.
52 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.
53 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. 54 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.
• Deliverables Summary.
Below is a comprehensive list of deliverables William Berry Campaigns will provide throughout the project term. These deliverables align with the City of Vacaville's RFP and will be informed by survey data and community needs. o Ballot Language and Resolution
o Ballot Arguments and Rebuttals
o Two Town Hall meetings
o Core Message Document (internal use)
o Public FAQs on City services, budget, and proposed tax measure o Fact Sheet: City Finances & Revenue Needs
