CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: ALYSSA STUTZ, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
RE: OROVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING

DRIVEWAY CULVERT MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025

SUMMARY
Public Works staff have recently conducted inspections of driveway culverts throughout the City and have observed that many are heavily impacted by sediment buildup, partially collapsed, or completely rusted through. These deteriorated culverts are reducing drainage capacity, contributing to localized flooding, and creating uncertainty about maintenance responsibilities between property owners and the City.

Staff is requesting direction from the City Council regarding the City’s role in maintaining, cleaning, or replacing driveway culverts located within the public right-ofway but serving private driveways. Council direction will help establish a clear and consistent policy for addressing these deteriorating culverts and mitigating associated drainage impacts.

DISCUSSION
Driveway culverts are a common feature in areas with open ditches and roadside drainage. They provide private access across the ditch while conveying stormwater through the public drainage course.

Over time, many culverts within the City have become obstructed with sediment, vegetation, or debris. Others have deteriorated due to age, corrosion, or improper installation. In several recent cases, the Public Works Department has received service requests related to flooding or erosion caused by these failing culverts.

Historically, the City has considered driveway culverts to be the responsibility of the adjoining property owner, as they are part of the private driveway improvement.

However, when these culverts fail or plug up, they can obstruct public drainage and cause street flooding or property damage, placing the City in a difficult position regarding liability and response expectations.
187
Item 11.

Key Observations from Field Inspections
 Numerous corrugated metal culverts are completely rusted through or have separated joints.
 Many driveways have undersized, improperly sloped, or unmaintained culverts that trap sediment.
 Several locations have no defined maintenance access, making cleaning or replacement difficult (for example, culverts that service multiple driveways).  During large storm events, debris buildup at these culverts significantly reduces ditch capacity, causing overflow onto streets and adjacent properties.

Policy Options for Council Consideration

1. Private Responsibility (Status Quo)
 Property owners remain responsible for maintaining, cleaning, and replacing driveway culverts.
 The City responds only to blockages that directly threaten public infrastructure or safety.

2. Shared Responsibility
 Property owners maintain their culverts, but the City may intervene when blockages or failures pose a public hazard or flooding risk.  The City may clean or replace damaged culverts as needed and pursue cost recovery or establish a permitting process for such work. The City could also provide a program that could loan funds to qualified homeowners for this kind of repair work.

3. City-Assumed Maintenance for Public Drainage Function  The City assumes ongoing maintenance for culverts that form part of a continuous public drainage system within the right-of-way.  Standard specifications, permits, and inspection processes would be required for all replacements or new installations.

Staff recommends that Council provide direction on which policy framework best reflects City priorities regarding drainage management, liability, and public service response.

Based on Council input, staff will return with and any necessary Municipal Code updates.

FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impacts will vary depending on the level of City responsibility adopted by Council:
 Option 1: Minimal fiscal impact (status quo).
 Option 2: Minor annual cost for occasional emergency cleaning and administrative oversight.
 Option 3: Significant cost increase, depending on the number of culverts incorporated into a City maintenance program.

CHAPTER 8.20

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Article 1
General Provisions
§ 8.20.010. Findings.
(Ord. 1807 § 1, 2015)
§ 8.20.020. Purpose and intent.

A. The Federal Clean Water Act provides for the regulation and reduction of pollutants discharged into the waters of the United States by extending National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements to stormwater and urban runoff discharge into the city storm drain system.

B. The State Water Resources Control Board is authorized by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to administer the NPDES program within the state. The Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Water Code Section 13000 et seq.) provides authority for the state NPDES program, including provisions to issue NPDES permits and waste discharge requirements to regulate discharges of storm-water to waters of the state.

C. Due to amendments to the Clean Water Act, the USEPA developed a Phase I and a Phase II program requiring municipalities to develop and implement stormwater pollution management programs. Smaller municipalities and contiguous areas with small, but still urban, communities come under the Phase II regulations of the state board's small MS4 general permit, where MS4 stands for "municipal separate storm sewer system." The city falls under the Phase II regulations, which require coverage under the small MS4 general permit.

D. The small MS4 general permit requires the city to effectively prohibit nonstormwater discharges from within the city's small MS4 general permit area into the city storm drain system except as otherwise permitted by law.

E. The city finds in this regard that the provisions of this chapter are necessary to provide the city with the legal authority necessary to implement and otherwise comply with the requirements of the small MS4 general permit and to protect the waters of the state for the benefit of its people and the environment.

A. This chapter is adopted pursuant to Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution, which authorizes the city to exercise the police power of the state by adopting regulations promoting the public health, public safety, and the general welfare of its citizens. The purpose and intent of this chapter is to protect and enhance the water quality of watercourses and water bodies within the small MS4 permitted area of the city in a manner consistent with the Clean Water Act, the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and the small MS4 permit, by reducing pollutants in stormwater discharges to the maximum extent practicable and by prohibiting nonstormwater discharges from entering the storm drain system.

§ 8.20.240. General requirements.

A. The administrator is authorized to designate as subject activities any activities, operations, or facilities identified as sources or potential sources of pollutant discharges to the city's storm drain system, natural surface waters, or watercourses.

A subject activity may occur at a stationary facility or it may occur as a mobile activity that takes place at various job sites.

B. All persons engaged in subject activities that may result in pollutants entering the city storm drain system, natural surface waters, or watercourses shall implement best management practices (BMPs), to the maximum extent practicable, to prevent and/or reduce such pollutants from entering nonstormwater discharges and/or stormwater discharges in accordance with Section 8.20.260, Best management practices, of this chapter. The California Stormwater Quality Association has published 4 stormwater best management practice handbooks covering construction, industrial and commercial, municipal, and new development and redevelopment that are approved for use by the administrator to comply with this section.

C. All BMPs shall be protected, inspected, and maintained to ensure continuous and fully effective performance as designed. A maintenance and inspection schedule for both dry and wet season BMPs shall be in writing, and a record shall be kept that includes the dates of inspection or maintenance, whether BMPs were inspected or maintained, a description of any maintenance activity, and the name of the inspector or maintenance foreperson. This record shall be on a form approved by the administrator and shall be made available to the administrator upon request.

D. Every person owning or occupying property adjacent to or through which a watercourse passes, shall keep and maintain that part of the watercourse within said property reasonably free of trash, debris, excessive vegetation, and other obstacles that would pollute, contaminate, or significantly obstruct the flow of water through the watercourse.

Attachment B – Photos of Typical Driveway Culvert Conditions The following image placeholders represent typical field conditions observed during inspections of driveway culverts throughout the City of Oroville. 212
Item 11.
213
Item 11.

Attachment C – Staff Recommendation
Staff recommend the City of Oroville include language in the Municpal Code clarifying the property owner’s responsibility to maintain their driveway culvert even if it falls within the public right-of-way.

1. Legal and Liability Reasons
a. Private Benefit vs. Public Purpose
i. Driveway culverts primarily serve private access—they allow a property owner to cross a roadside ditch to reach their driveway. ii. Because the benefit is private, it’s legally reasonable (and standard across California) for the property owner to be responsible for installation and upkeep.
iii. If the City were to maintain them, it could blur the line between public and private responsibilities, opening the door to claims of “selective service” or “implied acceptance” of private infrastructure. b. Limiting City Liability
i. When a City takes responsibility for maintaining driveway culverts, it assumes potential liability for any flooding, erosion, or property damage resulting from improper maintenance or blockage. ii. If the owner maintains the culvert, liability for property impacts largely remains with the private party.

2. Fiscal and Resource Reasons
a. Volume and Cost
i. Cities often have hundreds or thousands of driveway culverts. ii. If the City assumed maintenance for all, it would consume enormous staff time and budget for inspection, cleaning, and replacement — often for pipes that only serve private driveways.
iii. It’s simply not financially sustainable for most municipalities, particularly those with small Public Works crews and large networks of roadside ditches.
b. Prioritization of Public Infrastructure
i. The City’s resources should remain focused on public drainage infrastructure (mainlines, inlets, channels, culverts under public roads).
ii. Driveway pipes are considered appurtenant to private use and not essential to the City’s core storm system function.

3. Engineering and Functional Reasons
a. Access Control and Consistency
i. Requiring owners to maintain their culverts ensures that they also obtain an Encroachment Permit before replacing or modifying them.

1. That keeps the City in control of:
a. Pipe size and material,
b. Flowline elevation,
214
Item 11.
c. Headwall design,
d. Grading and driveway tie-ins.
b. Preventing System Impacts
i. Poorly maintained driveway culverts can clog and back water into the roadway or adjacent properties.
ii. By making maintenance the owner’s duty, the City can enforce compliance through code enforcement if needed, rather than having to perform and fund the work itself.

4. Policy and Precedent Reasons
a. Consistency with Other Jurisdictions
i. Nearly every nearby city and county (e.g., Butte County, Red Bluff, Chico, Yuba City) places driveway culvert responsibility on property owners.
ii. Following the same standard reduces confusion and helps defend the City’s policy if challenged.
b. Clear Lines of Responsibility
i. It’s easier to enforce a consistent, written policy (e.g., “Driveway culverts are private improvements subject to Encroachment Permit”) than to decide case-by-case.
ii. Ambiguity leads to complaints and inconsistent expectations.

5. Practical Implementation
a. The City can support this approach by:
i. Requiring an Encroachment Permit for installation or replacement; ii. Citing the Oroville Municipal Code §12.12 (Frontage Improvements) and §8.20 (Stormwater Management) for enforcement authority; iii. Including clear standard drawings (pipe diameter, end treatment, materials) in the City’s Improvement Standards;
iv. Issuing notices to correct if a culvert becomes obstructed or fails. 215
Item 11.

Attachment D – Draft Policy Framework Summary
Driveway Culvert Maintenance Policy Options
Background
Driveway culverts provide access from private properties to public roadways while allowing roadside ditches to convey stormwater. Over time, many culverts within the City of Oroville have deteriorated or become obstructed with sediment and debris. This has resulted in localized flooding, erosion, and drainage inefficiencies.

The City’s Municipal Code and Public Works Standards do not currently define clear maintenance responsibility for driveway culverts located within the public right-of-way but serving private driveways. The following framework outlines three potential approaches for establishing a consistent and enforceable policy.

Option 1: Private Responsibility (Status Quo)
Property owners remain responsible for the maintenance, cleaning, repair, and replacement of their driveway culverts, consistent with their responsibility to maintain private driveways and approaches.
 Key Elements:
• Culverts are treated as private appurtenances, even when located within the public right-of-way.
• Property owners must keep culverts clear and in good working condition. • The City may issue notices to property owners when a blockage or failure obstructs public drainage.
• Emergency response by City crews would be limited to immediate threats to public safety or infrastructure.
 Implementation Steps:
• Publish a Culvert Maintenance Notice or educational flyer for property owners. • Develop a simple Right-of-Way Work Permit for private culvert replacement. • Ensure driveway culvert improvement standards are up to date. • Add a section to the Municipal Code clarifying shared maintenance responsibility.

Advantages: Low fiscal impact; maintains private responsibility and limits City liability.

Disadvantages: Enforcement challenges when property owners do not act; public perception that the City should intervene.

Option 2: Shared Responsibility
The City retains the expectation that property owners maintain their culverts, but the City may assist or intervene when blockages or failures impact the public drainage system or pose a safety hazard.
 Key Elements:
216
Item 11.
• Property owners are responsible for routine maintenance. • The City may perform emergency cleaning or replacement if a culvert failure affects public drainage, with costs recoverable from the property owner. • A cost-sharing model could be developed for replacements (e.g., City provides labor; property owner provides materials).
• Standard design, size, and material specifications would apply to all replacements.  Implementation Steps:
• Develop an Administrative Policy defining emergency intervention criteria. • Establish a Cost Recovery Procedure through billing or assessment. • Update Public Works Standards to define acceptable culvert materials. • Add a section to the Municipal Code clarifying shared maintenance responsibility.

Advantages: Flexibility to address drainage concerns; shared cost; improved public safety.

Disadvantages: Requires staff time; modest recurring fiscal impact.

Option 3: City-Assumed Maintenance (Public Drainage Function) The City assumes maintenance and replacement responsibility for driveway culverts that are integral to the public drainage system—specifically, culverts located within continuous roadside ditches or connected to public storm drain infrastructure.  Key Elements:
• City maintains all qualifying culverts within the public right-of-way. • A permitting process ensures that any new or replaced culverts meet City standards. • The City performs routine inspections and cleaning as part of its stormwater maintenance program.
• A capital replacement schedule is developed based on condition assessments.  Implementation Steps:
• Conduct a Citywide Inventory of driveway culverts (GIS-based). • Adopt Culvert Design and Maintenance Standards within the City’s Public Works Standard Details.
• Amend the Municipal Code to define City responsibility for public drainage facilities. • Adjust annual storm drainage maintenance budgets accordingly.

Advantages: Proactive management; reduces liability; centralizes asset tracking.

Disadvantages: Higher fiscal impact; expands City responsibilities.

Next Steps (Following Council Direction)
Depending on Council preference, staff will:

1. Draft a formal Driveway Culvert Maintenance Policy for adoption by resolution.

2. Propose any necessary Municipal Code or Public Works Standard updates.

3. Develop a communication plan for informing property owners of their responsibilities. 217

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRIAN RING, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
RE: CITY PARK DESIGNATION
DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall consider taking action to work towards designating the permissible area along the “levee area” along the Feather River from the Highway 70 Bridge to the Fish Ladder, a City Park. Designating this area a City Park may assist in addressing illegal dumping activities.

DISCUSSION
The City of Oroville’s Code Enforcement Division in partnership with Oroville Police and Public Works currently spends significant time each day patrolling the Feather River levee and removing illegal dumping and debris, including hazardous waste, plastics, abandoned materials, and human waste.

At the October 7, 2025 City Council meeting, your Council approved sending a letter to Governor Newson seeking assistance in addressing this matter.

Staff have had discussions internally and with partner agencies (Feather River Recreation and Park District, Department of Water Resources, California Highway Patrol) about the benefits of designating this area a City Park. Park designation could lead to restrictive hours, higher visibility and potential access to State or federal grants.

Currently, there are portions of the “levee area” that are owned privately (individual parcels) and by the State Land Commission (below the high-water mark). This land ownership matter would need to be looked into further.

FISCAL IMPACT
To be determined. Initially just staff time.

CITY OF OROVILLE

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN & COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: PATRICK PIATT, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
RE: AMENDMENT TO OMC CHAPTER 5.06 – ALIGN BID BILLING/DUE DATES WITH BUSINESS LICENSE FEES; REPLACE NEWBUSINESS WAIVER WITH PRORATION DATE: OCTOBER 21, 2025

SUMMARY
The City Council shall conduct a public hearing and consider introducing an ordinance amending Oroville Municipal Code (OMC) Chapter 5.06 (Downtown Oroville Business Improvement District) to:

1. Align the collection of BID assessments with business license fees by making BID assessments due January 31 each year (billed January 1), and

2. Replace the existing first-year new-business waiver with a proration method based on the number of months remaining in the calendar year, counting the initiation month as a full month.
(Existing provisions to be amended: OMC § 5.06.070 and OMC § 5.06.080.)

DISCUSSION
OMC Chapter 5.06 establishes the Downtown Oroville Business Improvement District (BID).

Under current code, BID assessments are billed January 1 and collected July 1 (OMC § 5.06.080), while business license fees are due January 31. Current OMC § 5.06.070 provides a first-period waiver for new businesses within the district.

Proposed changes.
 § 5.06.080 (Collection) – Revised so the BID assessment is billed January 1 and due January 31 of the same calendar year, concurrent with the business license due date.  § 5.06.070 (New businesses) – Replaced with a proration formula: (annual assessment ÷ 12) × number of months remaining in the calendar year, counting the initiation month as a full month. “Initiation” is the date of business-license issuance. (No proration for ownership/location changes of existing businesses.)
220
Item 13.

Aligning due dates simplifies compliance for businesses, reduces staff time managing an off-cycle collection, and provides earlier revenue availability for BID programming. Proration ensures new businesses contribute proportionally to the period of benefit in their first year.

Because the assessment framework’s timing and first-year treatment are being modified, this action requires a public hearing and protest procedures consistent with OMC Ch. 5.06 and the state enabling law (Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989). Staff has prepared a public hearing notice for publication/posting.

If introduced and later adopted, the ordinance takes effect 30 days after adoption. The first unified January billing cycle will be the first January occurring after the effective date. Staff will publish guidance and examples for proration.

FISCAL IMPACT
Minimal administrative costs for ordinance preparation, noticing, and hearing are absorbable in existing budgets. The BID organization should benefit from earlier cash flow. Replacing the waiver with proration will modestly increase first-year collections from newly established businesses.

ACTION(S) REQUESTED -

1. OPEN AND CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED
ORDINANCE;

2. INTRODUCE, READ BY TITLE ONLY, AND WAIVE FURTHER READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING OMC § 5.06.070 AND OMC § 5.06.080 AS DESCRIBED; AND

3. DIRECT STAFF TO RETURN AT THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING FOR

ADOPTION AND TO IMPLEMENT ASSOCIATED ADMINISTRATIVE
UPDATES.

“5.06.070 – New business assessment proration.

Any new business established within the district shall pay a prorated assessment for the billing period during which said business is initiated. The proration shall be calculated as (annual assessment ÷ 12) × the number of months remaining in that calendar year, with the month of initiation counted as a full month. The business will be considered initiated on the date of issuance of the business license. This proration shall not apply to an existing business that has changed ownership or location within the district.
