RE: PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY MODEL
DATE: JANUARY 16, 2024
SUMMARY
The Council may receive a demo of a new financial model for transparency of information.
DISCUSSION
The City has historically provided a portal on our website where anyone can go to look up current financial information. The first software we bought was called OpenGov and this worked well for many years. More recently we purchased ClearGov, and it worked well too. Over the years both companies have increased pricing each time we need to renew our contract. Staff has found a low-cost solution that will meet our needs for transparency and then some.
After checking out other governments who have implemented this model staff decided it would be a great tool for us and has been working with Charles Francis, a retired finance director who has created this tool.. He currently works as a Government Finance Executive Consultant.
FISCAL IMPACT
The financial model cost a onetime fee of $5,000. ClearGov was $6,600 annually. Budget savings of $1,600 the first year and $6,600 for all subsequent years.

RE: SECOND READING OF ZONING CODE AMENDMENT (ZC) 23-
02 ADDING SECTION 17.12.120 TO THE OROVILLE MUNICIPAL
CODE (OMC) ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS FOR AL FRESCO
DINING AND AL FRESCO SEATING, AND AMENDING SECTION
17.12.070 (PARKING), 17.32.010 (ALLOWED USES IN
COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS), 17.34.020 (ALLOWED USES IN
MIXED-USE DISTRICTS), AND 12.04.030 (PLACING PRODUCE,
MERCHANDISE, ETC., ON STREETS AND SIDEWALKS)
DATE: JANUARY 16, 2024
SUMMARY
The Council will consider adopting ZC 23-02, establishing regulations and standards for al fresco dining and al fresco seating in commercial and mixed-use districts within the City. ZC 23-02 would add Section 17.12.120 to the Oroville Municipal Code (OMC), amend Section 17.12.070 pertaining to parking standards for businesses proposing al fresco dining areas, amend Sections 17.32.010 and 17.34.020 by adding al fresco dining and seating areas as a Use-Specific Regulation in Commercial and Mixed-Use Districts, and amend Section 12.04.030 to allow the placement of dining and seating areas in the public right-of-way.
DISCUSSION
On January 2, 2024, the City Council conducted a public hearing and unanimously approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 1876.
Currently, the City does not have regulations, standards, or processes for approving al fresco dining areas. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, the City established a program allowing businesses to apply for a COVID-19 Temporary Use Permit to authorize temporary outdoor dining and business operations. This temporary use permit allowed Oroville restaurants to convert existing areas on private property, such as parking, open pavement area, or underutilized landscaping, into temporary outdoor dining areas with minimal improvements.
17 Item 2.
With the COVID-19 emergency declaration now over and increasing inquiries by business owners for outdoor dining options, staff began researching ways to allow al fresco dining on a permanent basis, with the intent to:
Streamline the approval process for al fresco dining areas by providing clear design standards, submittal requirements, and review procedures; Incentivize the location and growth of restaurants within Downtown Oroville by allowing sidewalk al fresco dining areas through an administrative permitting process; and
Create high-quality, safe, and active outdoor areas to bolster a vibrant community atmosphere.
Staff analyzed the standards set forth in the City’s COVID-19 Temporary Use Permit, and the current al fresco dining regulations of nearby cities, such as Chico and Roseville, in addition to larger jurisdictions where al fresco dining may be more common like the cities of Santa Barbara and Tustin. Based on the research and outreach conducted, Staff are proposing an ordinance that would allow al fresco dining under three classifications:
“Al Fresco Sidewalk Dining Area,” “Al Fresco Dining Areas Outside of the Public Rightof-Way,” and “Al Fresco Seating Area.” “Al Fresco Sidewalk Dining Area”
Many of the properties within Downtown Oroville, like historic downtown’s in other cities, are developed and lack spaces to provide al fresco dining areas on private property. As a result, jurisdictions like the cities of Chico, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, and Tustin have adopted dining regulations that allow for dining within the public right-of-way. Staff researched these jurisdiction’s regulations and analyzed the existing conditions within Downtown Oroville during the preparation of the draft al fresco ordinance and are proposing the creation of a Downtown Oroville specific “Al Fresco Sidewalk Dining Area.” The “Al Fresco Sidewalk Dining Area” is generally defined as the area bounded by High Street, Oliver Street, Arlin Rhine Memorial Drive, and Oak Street. This area is characterized by already established buildings with high development density featuring zero setback buildings and little-to-no private outdoor space to establish al fresco dining.
In addition, the Gateway Site, located at the intersection of Montgomery Street and Feather River Blvd, and extending to the Purple Line Urban Winery and Bedrock Park has been included in the “Al Fresco Sidewalk Dining Area” in anticipation of future development. Under the proposed ordinance, these areas will be the only areas within the City where food service establishments will be able to use the public right-of-way to establish an al fresco dining area. Furthermore, food service establishments who fall within the “Al Fresco Sidewalk Dining Area” will be exempt from parking requirements for the seats within their al fresco dining area.
The proposed ordinance further creates two classifications of sidewalk dining: use of the 18 Item 2.
existing sidewalk or widening of the sidewalk. As shown in Figure 1, some sidewalks within Downtown Oroville are of sufficient width to create al fresco sidewalk dining areas with minimal infrastructure improvements.
Figure 1: Existing Sidewalk on Montgomery Street
Sidewalk dining areas are limited to the frontage immediately adjacent to the business proposing to provide al fresco dining. However, some tenant spaces have small frontages that may preclude the ability to construct a dining area of sufficient size to support their business. Staff propose allowing a dining area to extend into the frontage zone of a neighboring business with the written authorization from that adjacent business and building owner(s).
19 Item 2.
Figure 2: Example of a Sidewalk Dining Area
Businesses may also propose to remove adjacent on-street parking spaces in order to widen the sidewalk to accommodate an al fresco dining area. Prior to the removal of onstreet parking, findings must be made that the removal of said parking stalls will not result in an inadequate supply of parking for downtown businesses. “Al Fresco Dining Areas Outside of the Public Right-of-Way” Al fresco dining areas proposed at food service establishments that fall wholly on private property are proposed to be allowed city-wide in Commercial and Mixed-Use Districts, including the sub area of the DH-O, as specified in the allowed uses table found in Sections 17.32.010 and 17.34.020 of the OMC.
The proposed regulations would set forth development standards and regulations similar to those proposed for al fresco dining areas within the public right-of-way, however, there are additional requirements such as landscaping and parking provisions specific to these al fresco dining areas on private property.
On June 22, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and considered the proposed al fresco dining regulations. Public comment was received, and the 20 Item 2.
Planning Commission discussed the draft ordinance before directing staff to conduct further research and make modifications to ensure the regulations would allow greater flexibility for food service establishments to propose al fresco dining options. To help accomplish this, staff proposed adding “Al Fresco Seating Areas” to the draft ordinance. “Al Fresco Seating Areas”
Al fresco seating areas at food service establishments are proposed to be allowed citywide in Commercial and Mixed-Use Districts, including the sub area of the DH-O, as specified in the allowed uses table found in Sections 17.32.010 and 17.34.020 of the OMC.
Al fresco seating areas are differentiated from al fresco dining areas by the fact that al fresco seating areas do not include permanent improvements, such as barriers. Al fresco seating areas contained on private property and maintained in compliance with the proposed regulations do not need to be reviewed or approved by the City, thus streamlining a food service establishment’s ability to provide this amenity. If a food service establishment is proposing to add an al fresco seating area, an administrative al fresco seating area permit shall be required.
As part of this process to add Section 17.12.120 to the OMC, the following code sections are also proposed to be amended to ensure consistency with the al fresco dining ordinance:
17.12.070 (Parking)
17.32.010 (Allowed uses in commercial districts)
17.34.020 (Allowed uses in mixed-use districts)
12.04.030 (Placing produce, merchandise, etc., on streets and sidewalks) Amendments to the aforementioned code sections pertain to establishing a minimum parking standard for al fresco dining areas, specifying the zoning districts where al fresco dining are permitted, and allowing the placement of dining and seating areas in the public right-of-way.
The proposed al fresco dining regulations were first reviewed by the Development Review Committee on February 9, 2023. The proposed regulations were then discussed at the March 2, 2023, regular meeting of the Oroville Downtown Business Association (ODBA), with a general consensus of support expressed by the meeting attendants. A workshop was subsequently held with members of the ODBA where the boundaries of the “Al Fresco Sidewalk Dining Area” were expanded to include a larger footprint of Downtown Oroville and the addition of the Gateway Site.
The Planning Commission at their August 24, 2023, meeting adopted Resolution No. 2023-17 recommending that the City Council adopt an ordinance adding Section 21 Item 2.
17.12.120 to the OMC and amend Sections 17.12.070, 17.32.010, 17.34.020, and
12.04.030, with the addition of wrought iron fences as a recommended barrier for dining areas. The Planning Commission in their motion also recommended that the City Council amend the master user and fee schedule to set a zero-dollar ($0) application fee for sidewalk seating areas.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Zoning Code Amendment is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is minimal fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions.

a. No off-street parking spaces have already been constructed on the property.
b. The property qualifies as a landmark, as provided in Section 17.48.040.
2. Residential uses in a DH-O district shall be eligible for the on-street parking credit described in this section.
41 Item 2.
3. In any RP/DH-O district, all required parking spaces shall be located within the building’s rear setback.
4. Seating in an al fresco dining area of a restaurant or café use within the “Al Fresco Sidewalk Dining Area” of the DH-O, as defined in Section 17.12.120(C)(1), shall not count towards the minimum vehicular parking requirements for the use.
K. Parking Requirements in the Downtown Parking Assessment District. In the area known as the “Downtown Parking Assessment District,” as shown on the zoning map, no off-street parking spaces shall be required.
L. On-Street Parking Credits. In nonresidential districts, and for residential uses in a downtown historic overlay (DH-O) district, the following on-street parking credit shall apply:
1. Where the entirety of a marked, on-street parking space or bicycle parking space is adjacent to a particular site, the on-street parking space may be counted towards any off-street parking requirement for that site.
2. Where a parking plan includes access driveways or curb cuts that would cause one or more marked, on-street parking spaces or bicycle parking spaces to be eliminated, the off-street parking requirement shall be increased by the number of on-street parking spaces that are to be eliminated.
M. Multi-Family Housing.
1. Parking spaces serving multi-family housing shall be assigned to residents.
Spaces shall be located as near to the resident’s unit as possible, but not marked with their unit number.
2. Visitor parking areas shall be clearly designated and labeled.
3. Parking areas shall be visible from building windows and doors.
N. Minimum Bicycle Parking Requirements.
1. All nonresidential uses and multiple-family residential uses shall provide at least 2 bicycle parking spaces, or one bicycle parking space for every 20 required motor vehicle parking spaces, whichever is greater.
2. In addition to any requirements in the city engineering design standards, each bicycle parking space shall provide a securely-anchored, stationary parking device that is adequate to lock and secure a 6-foot long bicycle. 42 Item 2.
3. All bicycle parking spaces shall be conveniently located to the buildings that they serve, and pedestrian walkways shall be provided between the bicycle parking spaces and the nearest building entrance.
4. For residential uses that are required to provide bicycle parking, all required bicycle parking spaces shall be located in permanently covered areas, either inside or outdoors, that are designed to protect the bicycle from rainfall.
O. Reciprocal Access.
1. In order to provide for convenience, safety and efficient circulation, a nonresidential development project may, as a condition of development review, be required to provide reciprocal vehicle and pedestrian access between parking areas on the development site and parking areas on adjacent sites. This requirement shall not be imposed if reciprocal access is infeasible due to topography or other unusual site conditions.
2. If reciprocal vehicle access is required, a non-exclusive access easement, or an equivalent form of reciprocal access approved by the city attorney, shall be recorded on both sites.
P. Shared Parking Reduction.
1. Where vehicular parking spaces are shared and cooperatively operated by more than one use, the parking requirement for those uses may be eligible for reduction if any of the following circumstances apply:
a. The uses attract vehicular traffic at different hours of the day or on different days of the week.
b. Visitors to the site are likely to park their cars once, then visit more than one of the uses.
2. Any person seeking a shared parking reduction shall file an application with the zoning administrator.
a. The application shall be filed and processed as an administrative permit, in accordance with the requirements of Section 17.48.020 and the requirements of this section.
b. The applicant shall provide a description of each use that is to share the parking spaces, including the times of operation for each use. The applicant shall also specify the proposed number of parking spaces to be provided.
3. The zoning administrator shall grant a shared parking reduction only upon finding, based on substantial evidence, that there is no substantial conflict in the 43 Item 2.
principal operating hours of the building or uses for which the shared parking is proposed and that the proposed shared parking is conveniently located to the uses to be served. The zoning administrator may require additional documents, covenants, deed restrictions or other agreements, in a form approved by the city attorney, in order to ensure that the parking spaces are maintained and used as approved.
4. If a change in use is proposed for an establishment that has received a shared parking reduction, and this change in use is not explicitly permitted by the administrative permit granting a shared parking reduction, the establishment shall do one of the following prior to the change in use:
a. Obtain a new administrative permit granting a shared parking reduction for the proposed new use, in accordance with the requirements of this section. b. Identify an appropriate method of meeting this chapter’s minimum parking requirements without a shared parking reduction.
5. In no case shall a shared parking reduction be granted such that the number of shared parking spaces to be provided is less than the largest number of spaces required for any one of the individual uses that will share the parking spaces.
Q. Maximum Vehicular Parking. For all land uses other than single-family dwellings, the following maximum vehicular parking requirements shall apply:
1. The maximum number of off-street vehicular parking spaces allowed as of right shall be 125% of the minimum number specified in this section.
2. A use permit may be granted to set the maximum number of off-street vehicular parking spaces at up to 250% of the minimum specified in this section.
The exact percentage shall be specified in the permit, which shall be processed in accordance with the requirements of Section 17.48.020 and the requirements of this section. The permit shall be granted only upon finding all of the following, based on substantial evidence:
a. The proposed use will create significant conflicts with surrounding uses unless the maximum parking requirement is increased.
b. The proposed increase in parking is no greater than necessary to avoid these conflicts and protect public health, safety and welfare.
3. A use permit to allow additional off-street vehicular parking may include conditions requiring additional landscaping, planting buffers and other screening that improve the aesthetic quality of the parking area. 44 Item 2.

CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: FRED MAYO – DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
RE: AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)
TO PROVIDE GOAT GRAZING VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
SERVICES IN OROVILLE
DATE: JANUARY 16, 2024
SUMMARY
The Council may provide direction to the Director of Public Works to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) to Provide Goat Grazing Vegetation Management Services in Oroville.
DISCUSSION
Goat grazing for vegetation management offers several benefits, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly method for controlling vegetation in various landscapes. Here are some of the key advantages:
Environmentally Friendly:
Goats are natural browsers and preferentially consume invasive plants, weeds, and woody vegetation without causing soil disturbance.
Grazing eliminates the need for chemical herbicides, reducing the environmental impact and potential harm to non-target species.
Cost-Effective:
Goat grazing can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional vegetation management methods. Goats are relatively low-maintenance animals and can access areas that may be difficult for machinery to reach.
It can be particularly economical for large, open spaces where using machinery would be more expensive
Reduced Fire Risk:
By removing dry vegetation and reducing fuel loads, goat grazing helps mitigate the risk of wildfires. This is especially valuable in our area that is prone to seasonal wildfires.
89 Item 4.
Reduced Noise and Disturbance:
Unlike mechanical equipment, goat grazing is relatively quiet and minimizes disturbances to wildlife, making it a more environmentally friendly option in sensitive ecosystems.
The City of Oroville has previously issued an RFP for Goat Grazing Vegetation Management Services and the term of that contract is nearing its end date. Staff is requesting that the Oroville City Council issue authorization to the Director of Public Works to issue an RFP to Provide Goat Grazing Vegetation Management Services in Oroville.
FISCAL IMPACT
None
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize staff to release a Request for Proposal Goat Grazing Vegetation Management Services for the City of Oroville.

The Director of the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") of the State of California has determined the general prevailing rate of wages of per diem wages in the locality in which the work is to be performed for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the Contract. The Consultant acknowledges that it has examined the prevailing rate of per diem wages as established by the DIR. Copies of the current schedules for prevailing wages are on file at City Hall, and the contents of those schedules are incorporated herein as if set forth in full. The Consultant shall post a copy of the applicable prevailing wage determinations at each job site, along with any other workplace posters required by law.
B. The City will not recognize any claims for additional compensation because of the payment of prevailing wages. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Consultant in determining its proposal and will not under any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the City.

2. PREVAILING WAGE RECORDS

The Consultant and each subcontractor shall keep an accurate payroll record which shows the name, address, social security number, correct work classification (in accordance with the wage decision), both straight and overtime worked each day and week, and hourly rate of pay, gross wages earned, deductions made and net wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker or other employee paid by the Consultant /subcontractor in connection with the Work. These payroll records shall be certified and shall be made available at Consultant's principal office. These records shall be maintained during the course of the Work.
The Consultant and all subcontractors shall make the certified payroll records available for inspection by City representatives upon request and shall permit such representatives to interview employees during the work hours on the job site.
B. The City shall notify the Consultant in writing of any discrepancies or violations that are discovered during such inspections.

D. The City will not recognize any claims for additional compensation because of the payment of the prevailing wages. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Consultant in entering into the Contract, and will not under any circumstances, other than delays caused by the City, or the City’s agents, be considered as the basis of a claim against the City.

CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CODY NISSEN, AIRPORT MANAGER
RE: RECOMMENDATION OF REPALCEMENT OF PROBLEMATIC CREDIT
CARD READER KIOSK FOR FUEL ISLAND AT OROVILLE AIRPORT
DATE: JANUARY 3, 2024
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting Council approve the purchase and installation of a new cellular capable credit card reader kiosk for fuel sales at the fuel island at the Oroville Municipal Airport to mitigate numerous concerns with intermittent connectivity with the antiquated system
DISCUSSION
For several months the credit card reader kiosk at the fuel island at the Oroville Municipal Airport has been problematic for pilots obtaining fuel for their aircraft. The issues seem to be primarily related to extremely problematic landline telephone service (dial-up) through AT&T.
City staff has had several discussions with AT&T representatives, and AT&T has indicated that there are known problems with the “copper” lines servicing the area and that there are no known plans for a permanent solution. The current card reader hardware is approximately 17 years old and the software for report production is similar to technology of Windows95.
Staff recommends replacement of the Fuelmaster hardware, software and kiosk pedestal with a QTPod QT M4000FMS unit that operates on Verizon Wireless Cellular network. This system will integrate directly with the current hose dispenser systems and will have the ability to link directly to smartphones of City staff system administrators for reporting, troubleshooting and remote operation when needed. They system includes a 7” color display, insert style fully encrypted card reader, wired NIC, thermal receipt printer and a mounting pedestal.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Airport Fund would cover the initial cost of $25,708.75 for the new hardware and software which expenses would slowly be recouped over time through fuel sales profits.
There will be ongoing costs of $480.00 per year for Verizon Cellular service and $1,145.00 per year for hosting and support through QT Pod, which will also be factored into fuel costs spread over time. Based on fuel sales from Jan 1 to Dec.31, 2023, an increase of $0.04 per gallon would more than cover the ongoing costs of cell service and hosting / support and still allow the City to be quite profitable on fuel sales. We will still be very competitive in fuel costs within a 50 mile radius of Oroville Airport based on observations of the trends of the past 24 137
Item 5.
months.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the purchase of the QT Pod QT M4000 FMS control pedestal, software and hosting support for maximized service for pilots purchasing fuel at the Oroville Municipal Airport.

CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRIAN RING, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
RE: CREATION OF A PLACARD IN HONOR OF ALBERTA TRACY
DATE: JANUARY 16, 2024
SUMMARY
The Oroville City Council may consider creating a placard in honor of Alberta Tracy and her service to the community.
DISCUSSION
At the September 5, 2023, Council Member Webber requested staff work to create verbiage for a placard honoring the late Alberta Tracy. This request was seconded by Vice Mayor Smith. Staff worked with Danny Ballard of the Butte Historical Society (and close friend of Alberta) to create the following verbiage for the placard:
The Lady of Butte County
Alberta Guiver Tracy
July 30th, 1939 - August 17th, 2023
A member of the Butte County Historical Society and Director of the Ehmann Home Museum, Alberta Tracy worked to support locals and promote local history. Known as the Lady of Butte County, Alberta portrayed many figures from Butte County’s history, including Susie McDanel, Sarah Benson, Madame Franklin, Cornelia Lott and Frida Ehmann. Alberta was the mastermind behind many Oroville traditions, such as Perry Mason Days, the Polar Bear Plunge, Admissions Day at the Liberty Pole, Ripe Olive Day and the Olive Festival. She served two terms as Board President of the Butte County Historical Society and served as the Museum Director for 2022. Alberta will live on through her many friends, and through all the gifts that she gave to our town. She is simply…
“Somewhere in Time”.

RE: HEWITT PARK IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT BUDGET DISCUSSION
DATE: JANUARY 16, 2024
SUMMARY
The Council will receive a project update regarding the estimated cost and funding sources of the Hewitt Park improvement project.
DISCUSSION
During the January 2, 2024, City Council meeting, the council provided direction to staff to prepurchase materials and equipment for the park improvements which will save a significant sum of money from the overall cost of the project. During that discussion, the Council was made aware that costs of material and labor have increased significantly since the Council first approved an application for funding for the Hewitt Park improvements and that staff and the designer were being creative in coming up with a means to lower the overall costs. To date, these alternatives have been through efforts by the Public Works team to perform a significant amount of grading ahead of the project design specs and a Request for Bids package being issued. It also included the pre-purchase of materials.
The true costs of all the improvements for the Hewitt Park improvements will not be known until bids are received, vetted, and an award by Council has been made. However, the design estimate for all the improvements as presented to Council at the January 2, 2024, Council meeting exceeds the total grant amount of $4,583,710, by roughly $1.5 million. There is currently a balance in the Park Development Impact Fee Fund (DIF) of $2.4 million and any cost beyond what can be covered by the Grant could be paid for through the DIF.
Continuing with the pre-purchase of materials will save a significant sum of money from the overall cost of the project, however, once the pre-purchases have been made the ability to delete features from the project will no longer be possible. Staff is seeking confirmation that the Council would like the Hewitt Park improvements to include all the features that had been presented during the January 2, 2024, City Council meeting using the DIF for any costs that exceed the funds provided in the Grant.
FISCAL IMPACT
154
Item 9.
$1.5 million from the Park Development Impact Fee Fund. The true fiscal impact to this fund will not be known until a construction agreement has been executed.
RECOMMENDATION
Provide staff direction for moving forward with the Hewitt Park improvement projects from the following two options.
1. Continue with the design as presented during the January 2, 2024, City Council meeting with the understanding that all costs that exceed the grant funds will be funded by Park Development Impact Fees.
2. Provide staff direction for removing features to lower the overall project costs.

OROVILLE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: CHRIS TENNS, CALFIRE ASSISTANT CHIEF - OROVILLE CITY
DIVISION
RE: ACCEPTANCE OF CAL WATER ANNUAL FIREFIGHTER GRANT AND
RECOGNITION OF CAL WATER
DATE: JANUARY 16, 2024
SUMMARY
The Council will consider acceptance of an annual firefighter grant offered by the California Water Service (Cal Water) for the Oroville Fire Department. This proposed grant, earmarked for the Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24), aims to facilitate the acquisition of 10 handheld thermal imaging cameras.
DISCUSSION
In the preceding fiscal year, the Oroville Fire Department diligently pursued grant funding from Cal Water for FY24, specifically targeting the procurement of 10 handheld thermal imaging cameras. As a testament to our efforts, the department successfully secured a noteworthy grant amounting to $10,000.
The primary objective of this grant is to furnish every on-duty firefighter within the Oroville Fire Department with a handheld thermal imaging camera. This strategic allocation serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it empowers firefighters to navigate and operate in smoke-filled environments with enhanced visibility, facilitating the swift identification of trapped individuals. Secondly, these thermal imaging cameras play a crucial role in monitoring the spread of fire and evaluating firefighting conditions, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive and informed firefighting approach.
This, in turn, contributes to a proactive and efficient response, minimizing risks and optimizing the overall safety of our dedicated firefighters.
The Oroville Fire Department sincerely thanks Cal Water for their continued commitment to supporting community safety through initiatives like the Firefighter Grant Program. The potential acceptance of this grant stands as a pivotal step in enhancing the Oroville Fire Department's operational capabilities and, most importantly, safeguarding the well-being of those on the front lines of firefighting efforts. 174

FROM: PATRICK PIATT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
RE: LICENSING PURCHASE OF A WEB BASED PLATFORM DESIGNED TO
ASSIST HOMEOWNERS AND DEVELOPERS THROUGH THE
DEVELOPMENT PERMITTING PROCESS
DATE: JANUARY 16, 2024
SUMMARY
The Council will consider entering into a two-year agreement with On Camino for a webbased platform that will allow the public to better understand the permitting process and the requirements for a project or development.
DISCUSSION
Permits are issued by the Building Department, to cover the cost of plan review and inspections to ensure the health and safety of the public and compliance with current building standards.
The permitting process can be confusing for those that do not regularly perform work requiring a permit which leads to frustration and in some cases the temptation to perform work without permits. The process can also be confusing for developers and seasoned contractors when projects require zoning review and compliance with the General Plan and CEQA. In many cases, the confusion is exacerbated by the lack of understanding about information that should be provided to City staff, which leads to responses that may not be entirely relevant for the undertaking the homeowner or developer intends to undertake.
The On Camino platform serves to bridge the understanding gap by allowing a user to explore a project and receive information in manageable bites. The platform is a decision tree that allows the user to work through ideas online from the comfort of their home or office. By clicking a series of buttons, the user is taken down a path that is specific to their property and project and provides information to allow the user to understand if a permit is needed, what type of permit would be needed, if the zoning is appropriate, if the property is in a flood plane, or if their project would require a use permit. While clicking through the program, notes may be provided along the way with useful information that allows the user to better understand the extent of their project. A report is generated at the end which describes all the information that will be needed for the project, and the cost of the fees.
A representative from On Camino will be present during the meeting to provide a short presentation.
176
Item 11.
FISCAL IMPACT
$15,000 annually for each of a two-year period, with a CPI increase annually of 3% for a total not to exceed cost of $30,450.

Proposal for Oroville, CA
Camino Development Guide System
178
Item 11.
Camino 1
Summary of Solution
Camino is a web-based solution that improves the customer experience for permit and licensing processes. Camino software is provided through a SaaS (software as a service) model, meaning that all functionality is accessed through the internet on a subscription basis. For this proposal Camino is excited to offer the solutions outlined below.
Camino Guide Summary:
The Camino Guide is an informational resource that serves as a virtual ‘pre-meeting’ for anybody thinking about starting a building project. After first answering a series of questions, applicants will automatically receive a customized guide containing their timeline, fees, and process for successful project completion. The Guide will also integrate with existing GIS systems to let the applicant know whether their project is allowed in the selected zone.
By making every applicant an expert, the Camino Guide reduces errors, frees up valuable staff resources, and flags any potential issues at the outset to ensure a faster process.
Features:
● An online portal where residents can create an account and view current and historical projects. ● An intelligent Guide that will ask applications a series of questions about their building project and informs them where it is allowed and whether a permit or license is required. ● If a permit or license is required, the Guide will generate a customized checklist of steps for the applicant to follow, complete with detailed instructions.
● The Guide will automatically check for zoning compliance and any other geographic factors. ● The agency will be able to track all Guides that are created. ● The agency will be able to configure and manage the Guide through an entirely self-service administrative panel.
Additional Scope
Evaluation Meeting. Senior representatives from both Parties shall formally meet, at a place and time to be mutually agreed to between the Parties, during the eighteenth (18th) month following the Effective Date, in order to discuss, collaboratively and in good faith, the matters herein described including, inter alia, renewal or non-renewal of the Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.
The meeting may take place by electronic conference technology. 179

Win Themes
Core pillars of success for Oroville’s Permit Guide Implementation Permitting Efficiency:
The incorporation of Camino into Oroville's development framework is poised to create a more efficient permit and licensing processes. Embedding Camino as a dedicated tab within the city's permitting portal and prominently featuring it on the official website aims to provide applicants with a straightforward and comprehensive starting point. Collaborative efforts from various departments will enable the city to digitize a substantial portion of its preapplication processes through Camino. This digital platform allows applicants to define project scopes, understand requirements, compile necessary forms, and adhere to the correct application submission format. Layering in Oroville's GIS system to Camino will introduce automation as a fundamental system function, conducting automated checks for requirements, eligibility assessments, and instant rule notifications. The anticipated outcome of implementing Camino includes a reduction in application errors, decreased time spent on query responses, and subsequently, an enhancement in staff availability. Moreover, applicants can allocate more time to crucial aspects of project approval as the digital platform expedites the entire application process.
A Refined Standard:
The introduction of Camino into Oroville's procedural framework signifies a commitment to refining success benchmarks across each department. The Permit Guide system presents a comprehensive methodology designed to ensure compliance with city development standards and processes. During the implementation phase, our team presents a strategic roadmap for success, conducting a thorough review of existing processes, documentation, and objectives. This approach opens opportunities for staff members to assess optimal steps, ensuring that the system facilitates the submission of successful applications. Providing customers with round-the-clock access to preapplication guidance through the system, Oroville's new framework reflects a dedication to customer service excellence. Ultimately, the Camino system positions Oroville to align with leading governments that prioritize refining customer service standards and ensuring success through efficient and user-friendly processes. 180

Implementation and Service Package
[X] Camino-led Implementation
Anticipated Implementation Start: [February, 2024]
To ensure a fast implementation, Camino reserves slots in advance for new customers. The customer can choose to change the start month at any time, however Camino cannot guarantee availability for any given month. If a change is requested, Camino will reschedule the implementation for the next available slot.
For this project Camino will be leading and performing system configuration work during the implementation. A Camino Implementation Manager will suggest the best service package based on the project scope (for details see Appendix B – Pricing). The service package will include:
● Everything covered under the Self-Service option above. ● A fixed number of hours that can be used in year one for system configuration, staff training and process mapping.
● Additional hours in future years to add system functionality, make changes to the existing configuration and train new staff.
At the start of the implementation Camino will create a project plan with milestones. If the number of service hours exceeds the selected package the customer can upgrade their package or purchase additional hours.
Customer Service
Service Level Agreement
Camino offers a web-based platform that is accessible from all major desktop web browsers. Camino currently works on browser versions that are still supported by their parent company. As of the date of this proposal, the list of supported browsers (on Windows, OSX, or Linux) is:
● Chrome
● Firefox

CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: RUTH DUNCAN, ASSISTANT CITY ADMINISTRATOR,
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
RE: MID YEAR FINANCIAL REVIEW
DATE: JANUARY 16, 2024
SUMMARY
The Council may receive a mid-year financial report for revenues and expenditures for the first six months of the fiscal year July 1, 2023, to December 31,2023.
DISCUSSION
OVERVIEW
A review of budget to actuals for the first half of the fiscal year 2023-24.
GENERAL FUND
Revenues
Overall, the revenues are at 27% of the estimated budget received by December 31, 2023.
This amount is low due to the timing of property tax revenue that is received in two installments, one in January and the other in June. Both of these payments are outside the scope for this review and therefore not included in year-to-date revenues. Property tax revenue is estimated to be over 4 million.
Sales Tax revenue is also low due to the timing of receipts. July and August 2023 sales tax remittances are accrued back to the prior year ( FY 2022-23) leaving only 4 months of sales tax revenue reported during this period.
Considering the timing of both revenue sources, the revenue would be close to 50% and on target.
Expenditures
General Fund expenditures are for the core functions of the City. Administration, Police, Fire and Public Works are some of the departments budgeted here. Overall, the General Fund has 60% of the expenditure budget still available at mid-year. 194
Item 12.
There are three items that require a mid-year budget adjustment. Risk management (liability insurance) is coming in more than anticipated and a budget adjustment will be required to cover the next six months. Health insurance for Elected officials was under budgeted and will need a budget adjustment to cover through the end of the fiscal year. The Fire contract with Cal Fire was under budgeted due to 4th quarter considerations in the prior year. A budget adjustment will be needed to cover this contract.
DISTRICT TAX FUND
Revenues
Revenues for the District Sales Tax are right on track with our estimates.
Expenditures
District Tax expenditures are coming in less than budgeted. Most of the departmental expenses are on track except for Streets. There is a $2 million allocation for road work that can only be completed the Highway 162 project is awarded and construction begins.
All other budget savings are attributed to salary savings from vacant positions.
DEBT
The City completed a new bond issuance for Pension Obligation Bonds in November 2021.
The bonds were issued for $19.225 million dollars at a rate of 3.2%. This is not considered new debt as we already owed this liability, rather a transfer of debt from CalPERS to our bond holder, US Bank.
Balances at 12/31/23
Wells Fargo Penson Obligation Bonds 2 $ 17,980,000
US Bank – Successor Agency Bonds $ 9,885,000
195
Item 12.
In summary, the City is on track to operate within the budget this fiscal year. As stated in previous presentations, expenses are growing at a faster rate than revenues. Rising expenditures will be a concern during the development of the 2024-25 budget. With that said, the City remains in a strong fiscal position with a healthy $9 million in reserves.
FISCAL IMPACT
Budget Adjustments listed below to increase Council approved appropriations, there are no decreases requested.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the following budget adjustments:
Revenues
No budget adjustments requested.
Expenditures
Increase to Risk Management in the General Fund, line item 100.1060.6090 to cover increased insurance costs. $180,000
Increase to the Elected Officials in the General Fund, line item 100.1070.5310 to cover health insurance costs. $80,248
Increase to Fire budget in the General Fund, line item 100.1150.6370 to cover a revision to the estimated cost of the Cal Fire contract. $592,768

CITY OF OROVILLE
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL LAGRONE, CHIEF OF POLICE
RE: PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OROVILLE RELATED TO THE ADDITION OF CHAPTER 9 SECTION 6.08.102(A) a DANGEROUS OR
VICIOUS ANIMALS POLICY (SECOND READING)
DATE: JANUARY 16, 2024
SUMMARY
The Council will conduct a public hearing regarding the adoption of Ordinance NO.
XXXX, an ordinance on dangerous and vicious animals for the Oroville Police Department and Northwest Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NWSPCA)
DISCUSSION
On December 19, 2023 the Council received a report and asked for public input on the potential amendment of Chapter 9 of the Oroville Municipal Code, regarding dangerous or vicious animals. The Council provided input and waived the first reading of the proposed amendment and the date for a public hearing was scheduled. Staff has advertised this public hearing.
The Oroville Police Department currently contracts with the Northwest SPCA for animal control services for the City of Oroville (City). The SPCA relies upon the Oroville Municipal Code for the authority necessary to enforce animal control laws within the City limits of the City. The SPCA has made the City aware of the necessity to add additional authority to the Municipal code regarding dangerous and vicious animals.
This proposed ordinance will help define potentially dangerous, dangerous, or vicious animals. This definition of the animal will allow the animal control officer to take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of the community by either removing the animal from the custody of the owner or by requiring the animal to be removed from the City or better confined to ensure safety. Once an animal has been deemed potentially dangerous, dangerous, or vicious, a civil process will occur to determine the outcome for the animal.
200
Item 13.
The current code does not allow for the immediate removal and detention of the animal.
The civil processes that currently exist do not allow for the confiscation of the animal if the owner is non compliant with the civil findings from the administrative hearing officer.
Currently the Municipal Code has no real enforcement mechanism. This change is necessary to ensure compliance with Civil findings to protect the community from dangerous and vicious animals with irresponsible owners.
A copy of the proposed amendment and ordinance have been attached to this report for your review and consideration. This amendment has been reviewed by the SPCA and is presented with their input and support.
RECOMMENDATION
Waive the second reading and adopt by title only Ordinance No. XXXX – AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OROVILLE ADDING A DANGEROUS OR VICIOUS ANIMAL POLICY, AMENDING TITLE 6 TO INCLUDE CHAPTER 6.08.120(A) TO 6.08.129(D),

Mitigation shall not be considered if the animal has been trained to attack in a manner which will violate any other provision of law.

FIRST READING OF AN AMENDMENT OF OROVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 17.16.150 – MOBILE FOOD VENDING
January 16, 2024
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider amending Municipal Code Section 17.16.150 (“Mobile Food Vending”) to set development standards for multiple food vendors at one location. The Planning Commission recommended approval of these modifications at its regular meeting of November 16, 2023 after consideration of the staff report, Planning Commissioner comments, and public comment. If approved by the City Council, the City Council will hold a second hearing to formally adopt the ordinance amending Municipal Code Section
17.16.150.
DISCUSSION
Section 17.16.150 regulates mobile food vendors, and currently provides little regulation of these uses. Staff initiated ordinance changes to regulate more than one mobile food vendor (MFV) at one location at one time after receiving a few inquiries to have more than one MFV on one property at the same time. Staff proposes calling this land use “mobile food vendor village” (MFVV). The intent of is to allow the city to regulate more than one MFV at a time on private property as a business similar to restaurants in buildings, to protect adjacent private property and to ensure that these uses do not generate litter, create unsafe traffic patterns, and create a need for additional law enforcement.
MFVVs are popular in other California communities, and if properly managed, can inject new energy into neighborhoods where they are located. MFVVs can become very popular monthly events, with multiple mobile food vendors and live music at one location. MFVs and MFVVs offer a quick and easy way to earn modest revenue on a property with little effort or expenditure by the property owner.
The Planning Commission held a workshop on the proposed amendments to 17.16.150 on September 28, 2023. Issues raised during the September 28, 2023, Planning Commission workshop included comments from the Planning Commissioners and Scott Bullard, an applicant for a Mobile Food Truck.
The commissioners raised the following issues regarding MFVV in Oroville:
1. Unfair business advantage to property owners with MFVV on their property, they don’t pay property taxes on the restaurant use on their property. Property owners with constructed restaurants must pay property taxes on the property including structures, 226
Item 14.
as well as paying water, sewer, and storm water runoff fees charged by the sewer and water purveyor. This is a fact that cannot be mitigated. The draft ordinance does not permit a MFVV to be created in the downtown area.
2. How to control MFVV clients’ access to the MFVV site. The proposed modifications include development standards including the use of sawhorse or other temporary barriers to direct traffic into one point of ingress/egress to each MFVV on undeveloped sites. Traffic ingress and egress on existing developed properties is already controlled by curb, gutter, sidewalks, landscaping and driveways. The Commission modified staff’s recommendation to allow the Zoning Administrator to require temporary barriers on a case-by-case basis dependent on the proposed location for the MFVV.
3. How many MFV would be allowed at each site. The Commission chose not to make a recommendation as to whether a limit should be set on the number of MFVs for each permitted site.
4. Limiting business hours. The draft ordinance limits a MFVV to operating between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. The current ordinance limits MFV to operating between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.
5. Concentration of MFVV. The Commission did not voice interest in limiting the concentration of MFVV in the city limits, so staff removed this from the original proposed modifications.
Scott Bullard submitted two letters dated October 18 and November 7, 2023, commenting on the draft amendments to Municipal Code 17.16.150. Staff reviewed both letters and incorporated changes to the ordinance where the changes were in the best interests of the community. Staff did not recommend changing the number of mobile food vendors meeting the definition of MFVV due to the need for consistency in the number of mobile food vendors at one location, and to lessen ambiguity for code enforcement staff. Staff strongly believes that any definition of mobile food vendors other than “more than one mobile food vendor at the same location at one time” will make code enforcement difficult. The proposed regulations place modest responsibilities on the property owner of an approved MFVV site to maintain the property in a clean and sanitary manner.
The ordinance requires all existing MFVs to obtain new mobile food vendor permits within 180 days after the ordinance revisions go into effect. This will enable the City to bring all properties with more than one mobile food vendor to be brought into compliance with Municipal Code Section 17.16.010 (Mobile Food Vendors), as amended.
FISCAL IMPACT
Any approved mobile food vendor village will be subject to all customary application fees.
