Project is fully funded and moving forward.
Work has officially begun on completing the required property survey work in order to have properties ready for tree removal that we anticipate beginning in January. Contracts are in place and executed for all necessary roles with the exception of the tree cutting contractor. The RFP process for that is ongoing and we expect to bring a contract to council at the December meeting.
376 properties are moving forward with tree removal. These properties represent over 90% of the total trees eligible for removal in the program from Phase 1 assessments..
Early Warning System
All 21 Towers are standing and operational.
21 of the 21 standing Towers have all aesthetic branches installed. 20 of the 21 Towers are now fully complete.
The final tower is in the final stages of power engineering with PG&E. Infrastructure for the in-home units is beginning we and expect the first units to arrive and be distributed this winter.
We are working with contractors to turn over full control of the system to the TOP dispatch center.
The operational guidelines are being presented to Town Council in November for approval.
Residential Ignition Resistant Retrofit Program

Council Agenda Summary
Date: November 12, 2024
Agenda Item: 1(f)
ORIGINATED BY: Sarah Richter, Housing Program Technician REVIEWED BY: James Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Housing Recovery Update
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. None
Background:
This report provides the Town Council with an update on Housing activities.
Analysis:
We have 36.89% of our pre-disaster housing stock to-date (1,720 surviving units + 3,109 new CofOs to-date [an increase of 29 from last month] = 4,829 habitable dwellings / 13,091 housing units before the Camp Fire). An additional 240 building permits for 262 housing units were issued in 2024 and do not yet have their certificate of occupancy. In previous updates to Council, the number of pre-fire housing structures was being compared against post-fire housing units. Our total number of habitable dwellings does not include the number of mobile homes replaced in mobile home parks because those permits are issued by HCD instead of the Building Dept., but mobile homes are included in the total number of pre-fire housing units. A count of replaced mobile homes is under way which will add to the total number of habitable dwellings in Paradise.
Town of Paradise Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation/Reconstruction Program ($16 million) -- This program helps homeowners rehabilitate or reconstruct their home. We have completed 62 homes, 6 are under construction, and 4 applications in process. HCD recently allowed the grantees to increase loan amounts under the CalHome OOR program to $250,000 when reconstructing a residence. The Housing Dept. made a “last call” for applicants who need to rebuild their home because the expenditure deadline for funds is at the end of 2025. However, the Housing Dept will continue to take applications for non-fire related repairs as funding allows.
Town of Paradise First-Time Homebuyer Program ($7 million) -- Helping to make home ownership more affordable. We have assisted 47 households to-date and have 16 applications in process.
CDBG-DR Multifamily Rental Housing Program ($55 million) -- Affordable rental housing. Seven (7) projects are eligible for funding; a total of 292 units. One project (CHIP, 4 units) has leased up; Eagle Point (43 units) received a Certificate of Occupancy on Sept. 30th and is now accepting rental applications; Mayer Commons (12 units) on Kay Ct. continues to pass inspections, scheduled to be done in April of 2025; Northwind Senior (21 units) on the corner of Pentz and Kingdom Ct. is working on framing with an expected completion time of May of 2025; Cypress 8 Family (70 units) on Cypress Ln., is also working on framing and expects to be ready in December of 2025.
The 2 remaining projects (Cypress Senior, 70 units, and Clark Rd., 72 units) are working on securing additional funding and will be applying for tax credits in early 2025.
CDBG (2024 Annual Allocation=$52,474; unspent funds=$90,410.48) – Our annual grant for fiscal year 2024 is only 52% of the previous year’s award. Awards are determined by weighing a community’s population, rate of poverty, and number of overcrowded units. The data HUD uses is years behind, so our allocation is only now reflecting our Camp Fire population loss. The Annual Plan for 2024 allocates funds to economic development. CV funds ($208,244 not included above) can assist households living in RVs with emergency rental assistance; applications available now; 1 application has been approved.
HOME Infill New Construction ($700,000) -- Create affordable housing for first-time homebuyers.
Grant has been awarded but still waiting for Standard Agreement from HCD.
Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) ($399,166) – Allocates matching funds to North Valley Housing Trust to administer for affordable housing projects. A predevelopment loan of $400,000 has been made ($200,000 of PLHA funds) and another $75,000 of PLHA funds was loaned to build a small, single-family home, which is nearing completion.
Financial Impact:
None.

ORIGINATED BY: Aimee Beleu, Finance Director/Town Treasurer REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Quarterly Investment Report

RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
Review and file the 1st Quarter Investment Report for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2025.
Background:
Attached is the report on the Town’s cash and investments for the quarter ending September 30, 2024.
A Tri-Counties checking account is currently being used for payroll, accounts payable and other operating purposes. Most accounts payable disbursements are drawn through checks, and most payroll disbursements are processed through direct deposit.
The Town utilizes the State of California managed Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) for investment of General Fund cash in excess of immediately needed operating capital. LAIF provides for same day liquidity as funds can be transferred electronically through computer authorization between LAIF and the Town checking account. LAIF has also provided historically competitive yields, with a return of 4.58% for the period ending September 30, 2024.
California CLASS is a joint exercise of powers entity authorized under Section 6509.7, California Government Code. California CLASS is a pooled investment option that was created via a joint exercise of powers agreement (JPA Agreement) by and among California public agencies.
California CLASS provides the Town with a convenient method for investing in high-quality, shortto medium-term securities carefully selected to optimize interest earnings while maximizing safety and liquidity. The California CLASS Prime fund has provided the Town with an opportunity to strengthen and diversify its cash management programs in accordance with the safety, liquidity, and yield hierarchy that governs the investment of public funds. CLASS has provided a very competitive yield, with a return of 5.04% for the quarter ending September 30, 2024.
The newest addition to Town’s investment portfolio is Tri-Counties Bank Money Market Account.
The Town also utilizes Tri-Counties Money Market Account for cash in excess of immediately needed operating capital. Tri-Counties provides for same day liquidity as funds can be transferred electronically through computer authorization between the Town’s checking accounts. Tri35 Counties Bank is providing competitive yields, with a return of 5.49% for the period ending September 30, 2024.
In July 2020, the Town received a net settlement from PG&E related to the 2018 Camp Fire in the amount of $219,187,262. Since that time, the Town continues to utilize four investment vehicles to manage these funds. Securities purchases are held in a custodial account with US Bank. The Town has contracted with Meeder Investments to assist with management of these funds. Excess funds that are not invested in specific securities are held in the State of California managed Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), California CLASS and Tri-Counties Bank Money Market Account. Future use of these funds continues to be evaluated through a long-term fiscal sustainability model. Based on current rebuild rates and revenue growth trends, at this time it is expected that at least 80% of the total fund balance will be required to be utilized for long-term revenue backfill to ensure continued fiscal sustainability. US Bank Custodial has provided yields of 2.27% for the quarter ending September 30, 2024.
In June of 2011, the Town established an irrevocable trust to begin funding the future obligations associated with retiree health as required by GASB 45. The funds are being managed by SelfInsured Schools of California (SISC) and can only be used for the payment of retiree health benefits. SISC has provided yields of .96% for the quarter ending September 30, 2024.

Council Agenda Summary
Date: November 12, 2024
Agenda Item: 5(a)
ORIGINATED BY: Tony Lindsey, Community Development Director – Building & Code Enforcement
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
Scott Huber, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Weed Abatement Hearing of Objections
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Hold a public hearing to hear all objections to the proposed removal of vegetative growth or refuse and allow or overrule any objections; and,
2. Authorize staff to proceed and perform the abatement work as soon as possible; and,
3. Approve staff-recommended budget adjustment; or,
4. Provide alternative direction to Town staff. (ROLL CALL VOTE) Background:
At the October Council meeting, the Town Council adopted Resolution 2024-72, declaring vegetative growth and refuse as a public nuisance. This action allows for the abatement of privately owned parcels without the property owner's consent and facilitates the placement of all unrecovered assessment fees on the tax roll.
The Town Clerk mailed written notices of the proposed abatement to all affected property owners on Monday, October 14th. These notices provided a four-week notice period before the upcoming appeal hearing, scheduled for November 12th. Notices were sent to the addresses where the properties were assessed on the last equalized assessment roll and any alternative addresses that staff could obtain. This notification exceeded the minimum 14-day timeline to prepare objections for the Town Council meeting. Additionally, Code Enforcement and Fire Prevention Staff physically posted the same notices at each property subject to abatement, ensuring all affected parties were adequately informed.
At the October Council meeting, 396 properties were identified as having overgrown vegetation that posed a public nuisance. Since then, 155 properties have complied, decreasing the number of properties that require abatement operations and are eligible for appeal to 241.
As part of the abatement process, the Town Council must hear objections to the proposed removal of vegetative growth and refuse at this meeting. This hearing allows any affected property owner to object to the proposed abatement of hazards on their property. The Town Council will listen to and consider all objections and may accept or overrule them.
Analysis:
67 Section 8.04.135 of the Paradise Municipal Code, which deals with the abatement of vegetative growth or refuse that poses a hazard, is enforced through a systematic process starting with the adoption of a resolution. This marks the second step of the Implementation Plan and requires action by the Council.
Throughout the year, the Paradise Prevention Division conducts Defensible Space inspections of approximately 11,189 parcels within the Town. Notices are sent to the recorded owners of parcels identified as hazards. If mail is returned, staff consults county ownership records and utility provider information and employs people-finding software to contact unresponsive property owners. The Town Clerk’s Office maintains and makes available for public review a list of parcels identified as having problematic vegetative growth or refuse, designated as public nuisances, included as Exhibit A.
Compliance with the Weed Abatement Section of our Municipal Code is a critical component of our Fuel Management Plan. The Town of Paradise does not want to be in the mowing business.
This program intends to encourage citizens to independently manage the weeds on their properties. An efficient Fuel Management Program helps the Town keep wildland fires at a minimum.
After this November hearing, the Town Council gains the authority to carry out abatement work.
Properties identified for abatement will be publicly posted. Should unresolved fire hazards remain ten days following the hearing, the Town is empowered to eliminate these hazards. If the declared nuisance on a property has been addressed, that property will then be removed from the abatement list.
Staff recommends that abatement work on the non-compliant parcels begin as soon as possible due to the significant amount of overgrown vegetation. Completing the abatement for each parcel could take several days, potentially affecting our overall schedule. Furthermore, with the rainy season approaching, we anticipate potential weather delays, which could further impact the timely completion of abatement on these priority non-compliant parcels.
Financial Impact:
Cost of Abatement
The costs of the weed abatement program can potentially be recovered through the assessments charged to non-compliant parcels that a Contractor under the direction of Town staff is tasked with abating. Property owners who comply with the Municipal Code are not assessed or charged abatement costs.
241 parcels are out of compliance and meet the priority criterion (referenced in Exhibit A). Of these, 103 are currently in tax default status. With an estimated abatement cost of $1,600 per parcel, the total projected cost for this task is $401,600. This strategy targets these 241 noncompliant parcels to increase the compliance rate by 2%.
The remaining budget for weed abatement activities for the fiscal year 2024-2025 is $54,000. To fully cover the projected costs of $441,760 needed to manage the 241 priority non-compliant parcels, a budget adjustment of $387,760 from the General Fund is requested for the abatement account. This adjustment included a 10% contingency to address any unexpected costs related to the abatement of these parcels. Any unspent funds will be reverted to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. The Town mitigates the costs of the abatement program by billing property owners for contractor fees and administrative expenses. These invoices encompass all applicable charges, with payments required within 45 days.
68 Potential Cost Recovery
Estimating the costs associated with abatement is straightforward, but our ability to recover these costs remains uncertain, posing significant challenges for financial planning and budgeting. It is reasonable to anticipate that some of these costs will be recovered, though not necessarily within the same fiscal year they are incurred. Implementing practical strategies and rigorous monitoring is crucial to navigate these uncertainties and ensure the program’s financial sustainability and success. The data collected from implementing this approach will provide more accurate estimates of our cost recovery capabilities each year.
Once the Town has completed abatement on properties, there are three primary options for cost recovery:
1. Payments:
Staff anticipates a certain percentage of property owners will pay the invoice for abatement upon receipt from the Town.
2. Property Tax Assessment Roll:
The abatement cost, excluding citations, can be included on the annual property tax bill, allowing it to be paid along with property tax payments in April and November each year.
To implement this, yearly assessments must be submitted to Butte County by August.
Depending on the timing of the abatement, recovering costs through this method could take up to a year, assuming the property owner makes timely payments. If the payment is not made, the property will be considered tax delinquent; see below. This approach is effective for property owners with a history of paying their property taxes on time, according to the provisions of section 29142 of the California Government Code. $0.30 per parcel fee will be charged for enrolling an item onto the tax roll.
3. Placing a Lien on the Property:
A lien placed on a property with a tax default status would cost $250 per parcel and take an estimated 60-84 months to recover at the point of tax default sale. According to the Town Attorney, the Town could accelerate this process by pursuing recovery through the courts.
a. Judicial foreclosure is a court-ordered process initiated by a lawsuit from the Town, leading to the property's auction, where proceeds repay the Town and other lien holders, with any surplus returned to the property owner. The estimated cost for this process is $7,500-$10,000, with an estimated 12 months to recover.
As previously mentioned, the data collected from our experience operating the program will improve our ability to project cost recovery accurately.

Council Agenda Summary
Date: November 12, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(a)
ORIGINATED BY: Colette Curtis, Recovery and Economic
Development Director
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Pioneer Community Energy Study
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Hear a report on the Expansion Study completed by Pioneer Community Energy; and
2. Consider directing staff to bring back a draft ordinance for Council consideration on a future agenda.
Background:
CCA programs are authorized under Assembly Bill 117 allowing local governments to function as energy providers, purchasing electrical energy from various sources on the wholesale market.
CCAs operate on behalf of residents and businesses, securing energy from alternative suppliers while still utilizing transmission and distribution services from existing utility providers like PG&E.
CCAs provide only electricity and do not own the infrastructure, such as poles or wires, relying on PG&E's transmission and distribution lines for electricity delivery.
Pioneer is a CCA that launched in 2018 and currently serves the counties of Placer and El Dorado, the cities of Auburn, Colfax, Lincoln, Grass Valley, Nevada City, Placerville, Rocklin, and the Town of Loomis.
In July 2024, Paradise Town Council heard a presentation from Pioneer Community Energy regarding an assessment study to determine if Paradise residents would benefit from joining Pioneer Community Energy, a Joint Powers Authority, not for profit public agency which serves other jurisdictions in California. Council approved an expenditure of $3.750 to be part of the assessment study, with the outcome of that study to be presented once completed. The study has now been completed, and tonight Council will hear a presentation regarding the findings of the study.
Analysis:
After hearing the presentation, if Council chooses to move forward with Pioneer Community Energy for the residents of Paradise, Council will need additional information from staff, including a draft ordinance to potentially join the JPA. The decision to officially move forward would not be made until an ordinance is drafted and considered by Council. 86 Financial Impact:
There is no general fund impact for this item, staff time to prepare a draft ordinance would be nominal. There may be future energy savings for the residents of Paradise, as well as the Town of Paradise as an organization, if Council moves forward with joining the JPA through a future vote.

Council Agenda Summary
Date: November 12, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(b)
ORIGINATED BY: Colette Curtis, Recovery and Economic
Development Director
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding with Butte County for VEOCI, Virtual EOC
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Consider approving a Memorandum of Understanding with Butte County for services with VEOCI virtual EOC software. (ROLL CALL VOTE) Background:
The Town of Paradise provides support to first responders in an emergency through our Emergency Operation Center (EOC). Every Town employee functions as a disaster worker in an emergency, with a specific role to be performed in emergencies. Traditionally, EOCs have been conducted in person, in Paradise Council Chambers, and provide functional support to first responders through Planning and Intelligence, Logistics, Finance, Liaison, and Information sections.
Analysis:
Emergency situations are often fluid, requiring immediate response when employees may not be able to report to a physical EOC right away. During the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual protocols were developed to meet the social distancing requirements of the time while still responding to emergencies. Through that experience, it became clear that virtual EOC capabilities would be an important addition to the Town’s emergency response.
In 2023, the Town began exploring virtual EOC software. Regional partnerships are vital in emergencies, and so the Town worked with Butte County and other local jurisdictions to procure software that would fulfill our virtual EOC needs. Butte County issued an RFP and selected VEOCI as the contractor. Butte County will maintain the contract with VEOCI, with local jurisdictions, including the Town of Paradise, entering into an MOU with the County for services through their VEOCI contract.
Financial Impact:
The Town’s portion of the VEOCI contract is $15,737.44 for the first year, $16,524.31 for the second year, and $17,350.53 for the third year. The first year has already been included in the Recovery and Economic Development Department budget for 2024-25. 88
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
COUNTY of BUTTE
AND THE TOWN OF PARADISE
FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE OF VEOCI INC. SOFTWARE
This Memorandum of Understanding, hereinafter referred to as MOU is effective upon execution, by and between the COUNTY OF BUTTE, a political subdivision of the State of California herein after referred to as “County” or “Customer” through its Department of Administration, and the Town of Paradise, hereinafter referred to as “Participant”, hereinafter individually “Party” and hereinafter collectively “Parties”.
The purpose of this MOU is to provide governance and guidelines in the use and maintenance of the Veoci Software. This document is intended to describe countywide policies and jurisdictional roles and responsibilities.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the COUNTY OF BUTTE is designated as the Operational Area by the Butte County Board of Supervisors, § 3296, 8-2 (a) and the California Emergency Services Act, § 2409 and is responsible for the coordination of emergency activities and serving as a link in the system of communications and coordination between the state’s emergency operations centers and the operation centers of the Town of Paradise;
WHEREAS, the Town of Paradise is responsible for serving in the Emergency Management function at the local government level within the operational area; WHEREAS, County through Administration and the Division of Emergency Management, has executed contract X25758 with VEOCI, INC (Veoci) to provide an emergency management software designed to improve operational area coordination during an emergency, community event, or disaster;
WHEREAS, County and the Town of Paradise desire to enter into this MOU to use and maintain the Veoci software during the term of this agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants contained hereinafter the Town of Paradise and County agree as follows:
Scope of Services
Participant shall receive from Veoci Inc. the agreed upon services and maintenance outlined in contract X25758. County’s involvement in the MOU is limited to maintaining contract X25758 and acting as a liaison between Veoci and Participant.
Statement of Work per X25758
1. Scope Statement
Veoci will provide a cloud-based, SaaS incident and emergency management solution by implementing Veoci's government CORE product.
This SOW, including all services and deliverables described herein, is proposed subject to the terms and conditions of the RFP response between Veoci and Customer, numbered RFP 61/23. 89
2. Change Management & Governance Plan
Veoci utilizes Project Management tools that follow standard practices, such as the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK Guide), which describes established norms, methods, processes, and practices to ensure successful implementations and completion across all phases of the project life cycle.
Veoci also internally uses the system’s tools (i.e., Task Management, Plans, Forms, Workflows, Reports, Dashboards, Rooms, and Calendars) to manage customer projects. These provide a venue for planning, controlling, and coordinating projects in collaboration with all stakeholders while also presenting a clear and consistent methodology for logging and sharing project data and metrics to Users with permissions. Veoci’s tools facilitate updating project status information in real-time and allow for ongoing project reporting.
During project implementation, the customer may identify additional functionality. Any request that changes the scope of the project or the functionality beyond that identified in the SOW requires a change request and must be reviewed and approved by the project stakeholders.
Change requests are entered into Veoci via a Workflow where the impact of the proposed change on scope, deliverables, schedule, and cost are evaluated. The project sponsor then approves or rejects the change, a new SOW (or an SOW addendum) detailing the approved changes is generated, and the entire process is recorded in the Change Management Log.
3. Veoci Implementation Plan
Veoci’s approach to system implementation comprises five phases. The Veoci tools for Project Management will be available to manage the project following PMP standards during all the project phases. Individual project milestones may go through these phases independently and in parallel, completing one project milestone while others are still in progress.
Phase 1. Requirements and Planning
During this phase, the Customer Project Lead (and/or backup), other stakeholders identified by the customer, and the Veoci team work together to determine the project requirements, defining details about the implementation plan, identifying the material resources and staff (both from the customer and Veoci) needed to successfully complete the project, and creating the overall configuration plan.
The customer will be responsible for not only communicating requirements, but also gathering and organizing information from their internal stakeholders. The customer will provide the Veoci team with an understanding of its organization and processes, methods, and software applications in use that may need integration, as well as other information necessary to ensure a successful planning phase. As indicated throughout the proposal, Veoci will compile the requirements to implement the defined solution.
Both parties will also work together on the Planning phase when the customer’s team will provide the information needed to the Veoci team for the creation of the overall plan for the configuration of the defined solution.
Phase 2. Configuring, Piloting, and User Feedback
During this phase, the assigned Veoci Solutions Engineers will build, configure, and test the new system as defined in the previous phase. The customer will assign personnel as required to work with Veoci on final testing and specify any changes needed. The Veoci team will also work with the customer’s team to implement integrations with other systems if required. If development effort is needed, any additional cost associated with integration will be assessed.
Phase 3. User Acceptance and Go-Live
90
During this phase, the customer will accept the system implemented. Veoci provides technical support to the customer’s Administrators and Users to complete all knowledge transfer activities prior to the following training phase. Employees will answer Veoci team members’ questions, provide support and reviews, assist with migration and integration, and be available for UAT (User Acceptance Testing).
Phase 4. Training
Veoci is simple, intuitive, and easy to use, so most users need only an introductory formal training. Neither the end-users nor Administrators need a formal IT background or programming knowledge to learn Veoci.
Veoci's training empowers Administrators to modify and change the solution and add processes and methods due to the no-code configuration.
The training structure and delivery mechanisms are based on our understanding of a customer’s solutions and needs. Possible selections for training options are listed below but these items are not specifically included:
Remote orientation webinars recorded for later viewing Veoci's online Help/Knowledge Base that is part of the Veoci platform Short Task and role-specific videos for end-users
Train-the-trainer sessions
Boot Camp training sessions for Administrators that are available in-person or online
An overview of Veoci knowledge resources, including webinars, Boot Camps, training courses, and downloadable training materials, can be found at veoci.com/knowledge-resources.
Phase 5: Maintenance & Technical Support
Once Veoci has completed the Implementation Phase and the customer verifies acceptance of the solution, the Maintenance and Technical Support Phase begins and remains in place for the duration of the associated software licenses. Maintenance includes updates to Veoci software, patches and fixes, and major upgrades to the platform to support operational effectiveness.
Maintenance includes only minor changes to customer-specific solutions. Technical support includes access to Veoci resources along with continued monitoring and assistance from the Implementation team.
Regarding maintenance, the Veoci Development team follows the agile methodology and delivers a new version of software every few weeks. The team completes this process transparently, and Users generally do not notice changes until their Administrators decide to implement the new functionality. In a majority of releases, changes are small, designed to be readily apparent, and require no training. If a change will significantly affect how Users navigate within the platform, Veoci provides extensive advance notice and, as needed, provides pop-ups and introductory text to facilitate adapting to the new version. New tools, applications, or functionalities requested by the customer are not included in software updates. New versions of the software are available to customers at no additional cost.
Veoci’s technical support encompasses access to the Veoci Knowledge Base, Help Desk, and community resources such as webinars and User groups. These resources dispense technical advice and innovative assistance to allow the customer to resolve problems with its solution.
A team of Veoci professionals, including Solutions Engineers and Customer Success Managers (CSMs), remain available to provide ongoing support and input as part of Veoci's commitment to helping customers maximize the value of their solution. If a customer requires additional features or significant changes to the existing solution, Veoci will respond to these requests and bill at our standing rate for professional service hours.
91
Engagement Model
The Veoci team will be engaged during implementation for an average of 5 hours per week until the implementation outlined in this SOW is complete with no additional fees beyond what is included in the MSA. Engagement includes weekly meetings plus offline work such as building solutions, project documentation, and completing software integrations. Should a customer need an implementation to be expedited, Veoci can be flexible if we have resources available.
The Veoci team will be available to perform the implementation, beginning at the agreed upon start date and continuing through the delivery of the completed solution. If implementation delays occur due to a lack of customer participation or cooperation, team resources may be removed from the implementation. Team resources would then be reassigned depending on availability.
Customer Participation Vital for Implementation Success Veoci’s implementation process is highly collaborative and includes regular participation from the customer’s team. Successful delivery of an on-time solution requires that customers provide data and information and respond to requests in a timely manner, as well as attend regular project status meetings to provide input on the solution.
Implementations are managed from within the customer’s Support and Collaboration room where task management, plans, forms and workflows, reports, dashboards, and calendars are integrated into the Veoci platform. These tools allow Veoci to plan, control, and coordinate projects in collaboration with all stakeholders involved. All communications, action items, tasks, and meeting minutes related to the project are logged and shared in Veoci rooms accessible and restricted to permissioned Users. The Room Dashboards provide project status information in real-time and allow for ongoing project reporting.
4. Verified Deliverables
Veoci uses the Deliverable Verification Workflow to automate the process of collecting customer acknowledgment and acceptance of each deliverable listed in the project plan. Once a deliverable has been built and undergone User Acceptance Testing (UAT) by the customer and no further additions or revisions are required to complete the deliverable, Veoci will request that the customer accept and acknowledge receipt of the deliverable. This is done through an automated Workflow process that generates an email notification for the Customer Project Manager to review and approve. The Project Management Dashboard displays the status of all project deliverables. As Deliverables are accepted and become part of the customer’s Veoci solution, Veoci considers implementation complete and is available to provide ongoing support.
5. Milestones and Deliverables
5.1. Incident / Event Response
The Incident / Event Response product provides a means to digitize and operationalize an organizations response plans and tasks for all-hazards events. A customizable and reusable template allows for adding predesignated members, sending notifications, prepopulating tasks and documents for planned events and no-notice incidents.
Upon launching the template, the virtual Emergency Operations Center (EOC) allows for communication and collaboration to manage the incident or event. Dashboards have been curated to create a common operating picture.
5.1.1. Incident Management
Whenever an organization is going to manage an all-hazards incident response, planned event, special event, exercises, situational awareness, or other collaboration is needed, it will create an Incident Room. All activity having to do with an incident or event is managed within a Room, which comes with a rich set of tools that are useful during the planning, response, 92
recovery, and mitigation stages. There is no restriction on how many Rooms can be created or open at the same time. This means that multiple incidents, exercises, and daily operations can be run in parallel.
Veoci will create an all-hazards “Room Template” that can be launched on-demand. This template incorporates the following NIMS and ICS/Compliant functionality.
5.1.2. Incident Logging
Veoci will implement its best practice Form for logging incidents. Incident status can be tracked and related to
Resource Requests and Mission Tasks. The following Reports will be created for incidents: All Incidents, Open Incidents, Incidents by Status, Incidents by Type, and if applicable Incidents by County and Incidents by Jurisdiction.
All Reports can be viewed in a tabular format, calendar, or map, or exported to PDF or Excel.
The customer can create an unlimited number of additional reports using Veoci’s point-andclick interface.

A dashboard in the County's "Daily Operations Room" which will display all of the jurisdictions' shared data. This will allow the County to monitor jurisdictions on a daily basis and provide support when needed.
6. Training
For the Statement of Work included here, Veoci recommends the training program described below. Based on the size and complexity of the customer’s operation, additional training needs may be identified throughout the implementation and can be provided using Professional Service hours to tailor and deliver customized training.
End-User Training
Following the delivery of each of the milestones described in the SOW, Veoci will provide two (2) remote end user trainings that cover basic navigation and use of the solution implemented and described in this SOW.
The Veoci Team will develop End-User training material, based on the deliverables of this SOW.
The training sessions will be recorded and the customer will be able to keep these training materials for future reference, If any of the deliverables from the solution get updated or modified after the material has been delivered, it will be the customer's responsibility to keep the material updated as well, to be consistent with the current state of the Veoci solution.
Veoci Administrator Training Sessions
Veoci employs a train-the-trainer framework, so that post-implementation and training, customer Administrators will be empowered to train End Users to use the specific Veoci solutions.
Veoci offers of in-depth, virtual training sessions for administrators. These sessions are designed to provide customerdesignated Administrators with the skills necessary to manage, maintain, and modify the solution and to add processes and methods as needed. sessions are designed to provide customer-designated Administrators with the skills necessary to manage, maintain, and modify the solution and to add processes and methods as needed.
The course(s) listed below are appropriate for this implementation:
Incident Management: Veoci Administrator Training
7. Professional Services for Solution Customizations
Veoci is extremely flexible and can be easily configured and reconfigured to adapt to changing business processes. Veoci Solutions Engineers tailor solutions to meet customers' specific business needs through the use of Professional Service Hours. Professional Service Hours can 95
also be used by customers to finalize their solution at inception in order to have a completed solution that is available for use immediately.
20 hours of professional services are included in this SOW. The customer can direct these hours to be used for:
Point-and-click customizations to solutions
Building additional solutions using our point-and-click interface Creating/updating print templates for Forms, Workflows, and Task Types Developing custom training material
Solution design consulting
8. Assumptions & Work Requirements
In addition to any other responsibilities or duties described in this SOW, set forth below is a list of the obligations for which the customer is responsible, and assumptions upon which Veoci has relied in creating this SOW.
The customer will identify, and make available for the duration of this project, one primary contact to act as Project Lead.
The Customer Project Lead will brief their project team on Veoci and the customer’s goals and objectives prior to the kick-off call. The customer holds primary responsibility for data quality of sufficient standards to achieve customer goals.
Customer data for migration must be in the format specified either in the Deliverable or as detailed by the Veoci implementation team following initial requirements gathering. Data to be migrated must be ready for upload, in addition to being in the specified format (CSV file, PDF, etc.). For example, if importing into a field that accepts blue/red/green as attributes, entries can not include lime green.
The customer will cooperate in good faith with Veoci in its performance of this SOW by:
Allocating sufficient resources and time to perform any tasks reasonably necessary to enable Veoci to perform its obligations under the SOW. Delivering in a timely manner any customer collateral and other obligations required for each Milestone included in this SOW.
Responding in a timely manner to Veoci’s inquiries related to the SOW. Actively participating in scheduled project meetings, completing accurate and timely information, data and feedback all as reasonably required.
Integration Requirements
To successfully complete an integration, Veoci will require assistance and cooperation from the customer as well as the integrating vendor. Integrations often require access credentials, sample data, and testing before being completed.
Veoci exposes a REST API that can be used by other systems to send data to Veoci or query data from Veoci. Use of this API is included in this SOW.
Veoci also has a console for configuring connections with APIs exposed by other systems - specifically ones that are accessible via the web and output either XML or JSON data. An unlimited number of these connections can be established by the customer.
Veoci can also connect with a web-facing SFTP site or an AWS S3 bucket to run a scheduled import of either CSV or XLSX data. This functionality is not self-service and needs to be configured by the Veoci team at an additional cost.
96
For new integrations that Veoci has not yet implemented, Veoci will work to implement a direct integration through REST API call to this system. Veoci’s API integrations are highly flexible and can be implemented easily; however successful integration is dependent on the application that is being integrated. Veoci will work with the customer and the application vendor to implement the integration to accomplish the goals specified by the vendor wherever possible. Should an API integration not be feasible other options such as flat file upload via a SFTP or S3 bucket can be explored as well.
Functionality related to non-standard integrations may require additional configuration by the Veoci team, which will be provided at an additional cost.
Data Migration Requirements
Customer data for migration must be in the format specified either in the Deliverable or as detailed by the Veoci implementation team following initial requirements gathering. Data to be migrated must also be ready for upload, in addition to being in the specified format (CSV file, xlxs). For example, if importing into a field that accepts blue/red/green as attributes, entries can not include lime green.
Legacy data provided to Veoci in a format other than that agreed upon will create an error in the system and not allow it to be uploaded. Veoci will not correct data errors, thus it is vital that the data provided to Veoci be in the exact format as agreed upon.
9. Veoci Solutions Building Blocks
Veoci tools are the elements that provide specific functionalities within Veoci solutions. During implementation, Veoci Solution Engineers select the tool or combination of tools to configure the solution based on the customer’s goals, existing processes, and available data.
Alerts, Notifications, and Check-Ins
Alerts, Notifications, and Check-ins can be configured for individuals or groups based on actions or conditions. Notifications include phone calls, conference calls, text/SMS, email, and mobile app Alerts. Additional costs are associated with configuring and on-going fees for conference calls.
Custom Actions
Custom Actions allow Administrators to define additional events to be triggered after someone creates or updates a Form Entry, Workflow, or Task. Dashboards Dashboards provide a visual summary of key information and metrics in one easily accessed location.
Forms
Forms are used to collect data in a structured format. Forms also serve as databases, often replacing multiple spreadsheets, and as ways to populate fields on Maps and Dashboards. Veoci provides considerable flexibility to configure fields included in Forms, and entries can include text, numbers, email addresses, selection options, date, and time fields.
Lists
Lists allow individual members to be grouped together for common activities or notifications.
Members can be both customer employees and outside stakeholders, such as local emergency responders. A robust system of permissions manages individual member access to ensure appropriate and secure access to the Veoci platform.
Mapping Capabilities
97
Veoci provides its own comprehensive mapping program and intuitive, real-time integration with other GIS software. Users can enable or disable layers of location data coming from Veoci content such as Forms, Workflows, and Tasks. Users can also add annotations (i.e., points, lines, polygons) and labels to Maps and enable or disable GIS layers.
Plans
Plans are repeatable Room Templates that can be launched when a Plan is triggered. Plans can be used to instantly create Rooms that are prepopulated with Dashboards, Workflows, contact lists, required documents, Tasks, and other Templates.
Print Views
Print Views are customized views of a Form or Workflow entry that can be printed, emailed, exported to PDF, or added to Veoci Dashboards to provide situational awareness. Many Veoci solutions include default Print Views, especially those needed for regulatory reporting or compliance. Customized Print Views can be created as needed. Print Templates are designed using a WYSIWYG or HTML.
Reports
Reports are created to capture and present information to stakeholders, both within and outside of Veoci. Reports are exported from Veoci using PDF print templates. Summary information from Reports is often displayed on Dashboards.
Rooms
A Room is a collaboration space in Veoci that contains tools for gathering information and making decisions. Rooms can have cascading or descendant Rooms—known as Side Rooms. Almost all end User activity occurs in a Room or Side Room.
Saved Views
Saved Views are customized views of Form or Workflow entries that are configured to show specific information in a distinct format. Saved Views are used to display information grouped by defined criteria. Saved Views can be created for Forms, Workflows, and Tasks.
Tasks
Tasks assign a specific responsibility or action to an individual. Tasks can be configured to include structured work requests, categories of Tasks, priorities, and Map locations.
Workflows
Workflows are used to automate work processes. The customer defines the people, data, and process involved, and Veoci manages the flow of information and provides transparency, reminders, escalations, and Reports. Workflows also include automatic conditional steps and assignments for those situations when processes follow alternative flows.
Note: County will determine training schedule and staffing required.

Council Agenda Summary
Date: November 12, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(c)
ORIGINATED BY: Colette Curtis, Recovery and Economic
Development Director
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Emergency Warning Sirens Guidelines
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
Yes
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Consider reviewing and approving the Town of Paradise Emergency Warning Sirens Guidelines. (ROLL CALL VOTE)
Background:
Following the 2018 Camp Fire, the Paradise community expressed the desire for a redundant warning system to be used in emergencies. The Long-Term Community Recovery Plan, adopted in June 2019, identified an emergency notification system as one of the top priorities in recovery.
Of the 1,111 comments received during the public engagement process for the Long-Term Community Recovery Plan, 1,068 were in favor of the system representing a 96% approval from those commenting.
Funded through two FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program projects, one for design/scope and one for construction, the Emergency Warning Sirens, consisting of 21 siren towers throughout town, are being installed. The system is currently 95% complete as 20 of 21 siren towers are fully functional. Additional in-home components and related equipment are being installed and distribution is expected to occur this winter.
Analysis:
The operational guidelines were previously brought before Town Council for discussion and input.
Town staff have taken that information and revised the operational guidelines. The attached guidelines are designed to be a guide to Town officials in the operation of the Emergency Warning Sirens in the event of an actual evacuation.
The Emergency Warning Sirens are part of the overall emergency notification strategy known as “Alert Paradise”. The purpose of the Emergency Warning Sirens is to provide a redundant warning system for residents and visitors in Paradise of potential or emergent hazards that threaten life and property. The Emergency Warning Sirens are designed to work in coordination with existing emergency notification systems and processes and will be the last step in alerting residents of emergencies which require evacuation.
102
Financial Impact:
The approval of this document has no impact on the General Fund. The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) though FEMA has provided funding for this project, which has previously been approved and accepted by Council. Additional funds for the Town’s 25% match requirement are being provided through a grant from HCD.
Attachments:
1. Attachment A – Town of Paradise Emergency Warning System Guidelines 103
Town of Paradise Emergency Warning Sirens Guidelines
Working together to rebuild a thriving community.
The Town of Paradise Emergency Warning System (EWS) consists of twenty-one siren towers located within the town limits of Paradise, California. This system will be known as the Emergency Warning Sirens (EWS) and is part of the overall emergency notification strategy known as “Alert Paradise”. The purpose of the EWS is to provide a last step, redundant warning system for residents and visitors in Paradise of potential or emergent hazards that threaten life and property. The EWS is designed to work in coordination with existing emergency notification systems and processes and to be the highest level of alert of emergencies.
This document is intended to guide Town Officials in the operation of the Emergency Warning Sirens.
Sections:
Section 1. Siren Locations
Section 2. Activation
Section 3. Siren Tones and Voice Commands
Section 4. Testing Procedure
Section 5. Maps of Tower Activation by Evacuation Scenario Section 1: Siren Locations
Siren locations were chosen after analysis of the topography and geography of the Paradise ridge. The 21 sirens are located in public rights of way, or on public property, with the goal of providing audible warnings within Paradise Town limits. The tower locations are listed in table 1 below.
Eight siren locations will also have traffic cameras installed. These cameras are for Town of Paradise internal use only to monitor traffic and conditions during emergencies. Cameras with visibility to private property will have active private property permanently masked from view of the camera.
The traffic cameras will allow access to direct live-feed video to Town of Paradise emergency personnel..
This video is not recorded by the Town. Upon a reasonable belief that some video footage may hold evidentiary value, the Town Manager or his/her designee may endeavor to obtain that video footage from the camera itself. In the event that video footage with evidentiary value is obtained, it shall be retained pursuant to Government Code section 34090 and shared to the appropriate party or agency. 104

The most proximal areas to the towers can expect ~90db emitting from the towers, down to ~60db outside Town limits. The system has been tested and has confirmed volume levels of +110db at 30 meters from the towers and +90db at 400 meters. This system is designed to be audible for residents and visitors who are outdoors when the warning (siren tone or voice command) is given. The audibility levels of the system can vary due to the environment when activated. The system is designed to be one part of our emergency warning system and the last tool to be utilized in an actual emergency.

Section 2: Activation
Standardized signals for Emergency warning devices have been established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Additional information on policies and guidelines for Emergency Warning Systems can be found in the FEMS CPG 1-17 Outdoor Warning Systems Guide and the 2019 CA Alert Warning Guidelines. These standard guidelines have been incorporated in this document.
EWS Activation Procedure
In the event of an evacuation order being issued, the Emergency Warning Sirens will be activated at the direction of the Paradise Police Chief or their designee. The Police Chief or their designee will work in partnership with other emergency personnel to make the following two determinations:
1. Zone Determinations: Which evacuation zone(s) will be issued an evacuation warning and which evacuation zone(s) will be issued an evacuation order.
2. Scenario Determination: Which of the 8 Evacuation Scenarios best reflect the current emergency and should be activated by dispatch.
The activation process will be initiated by Town of Paradise Police Department Dispatch Center once approval has been granted:
• Level 1 EWS Activation: If 1,2 or 3 zones are ordered for evacuation, The EWS towers preidentified and coordinated with the selected Town Evacuation scenario would be activated. • Level 2 EWS Activation: If 4 or more zones are ordered for evacuation, all towers would be activated.
All Evacuation scenarios will be pre-programmed into the EWS control system for quick activation in the event of an emergency. Scenario maps provided in section 6.

The process flow is shown visually below:
The Emergency Warning Sirens are only intended to be activated in a true emergency in which an evacuation has been ordered. No towers will be activated for evacuation warning(s). Additional notification and information channels are to be used prior to and in tandem with the siren towers. This emergency communication framework is known as Alert Paradise. The activation of the EWS is intended to indicate to all residents and visitors to seek further emergency information through radio, television, social media, or other channels.
Depending on the emergency, different levels of public notification will be appropriate. Activation of the Emergency Warning Sirens will be used for evacuation orders. The following table illustrates the hierarchy of notification channels within Alert Paradise. Once a notification channel is activated, all those below it in the hierarchy should also be utilized.

Section 3: Siren Tones and Voice Commands
Any activation of the EWS will include both siren tone and voice command. It is understood that sirens may be audible for a distance beyond the immediate area for which the notification is intended, and clear instruction through the voice commands and on other communication channels will be important for the system to be used effectively.
Emergency Activation Siren and Voice
Immediate Evacuation Orders will prompt the activation of the Emergency Warning Sirens. A 1-minutelong siren tone will indicate residents should evacuate immediately. The siren tone will then be followed by a Voice Command telling residents to evacuate. The default voice command will be “A mandatory evacuation order has been issued” The protocol will be as follows:
Siren Tone for a 1-minute duration
Voice Command:
Siren Tone for a 1-minute duration
This siren cycle will repeat until suspended by order of the Police Chief.
Section 4: Testing Procedures
The EWS will be tested both internally and externally. The EWS towers have built in internal testing that occur regularly and additional Internal-only tests will be performed periodically and will be done silently to test functionality but will not be audible to the public.
Audible tests will be performed monthly, on the 15th of each month at 12:00 pm. The public will be notified of these tests in advance, with press releases, social media posts, website information, and Code Red notifications sent prior to testing. The testing protocol will be as follows:
Voice Command: This is a test of the Paradise Emergency Warning Sirens Siren Tone for a 30-second duration
Voice Command: This was a test of the Paradise Emergency Warning Sirens. 109

Council Agenda Summary
Date: November 12, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(d)
ORIGINATED BY: Susan Hartman, Community Development Director – Planning & Wastewater
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Zoning Recommendations for the CB Zoning District
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
Yes – Tier 2 Economic Development Strategy & Walkable
Downtown
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Provide staff with consensus on proposed standards for zoning amendments in the Downtown to present for adoption at a future council meeting, or,
2. Provide alternative direction to Town staff.
Background:
At the April 9, 2024 Town Council meeting, the Town Council requested a future agenda item, scheduled for a special council meeting on April 22, 2024, to discuss preserving the vision for the Town’s commercial downtown core. On April 22, 2024, the Town Council conducted a public hearing at a special council meeting to discuss the zoning in the downtown and the potential impacts of the continued construction of residential land uses on the Town’s vision for a revitalized and walkable commercial downtown district. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Town Council gave direction to staff to prepare an urgency ordinance for a moratorium on residential-type land uses in the Central Business (CB) Zoning District to be brought back to the regularly scheduled May 14, 2024 Council meeting.
On May 14, 2024, the Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 635 establishing a 45-day moratorium relating to the establishment of single-family, two-family, and multi-family residences within the entire Central Business (CB) zoning district. Additionally, Council authorized staff to enter into an agreement with Urban Design Associates (UDA) for an initial assessment of downtown Paradise to refine the area included in the downtown urgency ordinance. UDA reviewed the current conditions with staff and provided an estimation on the amount of commercial space appropriate for a walkable downtown that can be supported by the existing and projected population, based on the 2022 Commercial Market Analysis by Economic & Planning Systems, to help refine the area included in the moratorium.
At the June 18, 2024 Council meeting, prior the expiration of the initial 45-day moratorium, Ordinance No. 635 was extended an additional 10 months and 15 days to allow for a larger Phase II downtown strategy document from UDA that would serve as a conceptual master plan with recommendations for permanent zoning amendments to be brought back to the Council for consideration. In addition, the boundary of the housing moratorium was reduced to a more focused area encompassing primarily the southern half of the Central Business Zoning District (outlined in red below).
118
Current boundary of the housing moratorium under extended Urgency Ordinance No. 635:
Analysis:
Recovery and Economic Development Director Colette Curtis and Community Development Director Susan Hartman have been working with Barry Long and Rebecca Lefkowitz of UDA as they provided additional planning support by coordinating an updated high-level market analysis, providing a conceptual plan for the future of downtown, creating architectural perspective illustrations, and providing zoning recommendations for potential land use changes in the Central Business Zoning District focused on the area affected by the moratorium.
Outreach
Shortly after the June 18, 2024 Council meeting, where the urgency ordinance was extended, UDA began working on the Phase II conceptual plan for the future of downtown. This involved mapping key metrics for the downtown, utilizing information provided by Town staff, to identify areas of opportunity based on current vacancy as well as mapping current and former land uses in the downtown and conducting multiple listening sessions. UDA gathered feedback from community members, council members, and stakeholders between August and September 2024.
An in-person community workshop was held on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at the Paradise Community Park to solicit feedback from residents on proposed infill uses, types of retail businesses they’d like to see, preferred building styles, and what their priorities for the downtown area are. For those who were unable to attend the in-person workshop, an online survey with like questions was launched in September which had 550 respondents. 119
Feedback collected from both the drop-in session and the online survey is summarized below:

Commercial Market Study Report
The attached commercial market analysis was completed in October 2024 from Peloton Research and Economics. This market analysis aimed to estimate rebuilding timelines and project what the correlating demand for commercial uses would be, in approximate square feet of business space, and additionally determine how much of that square footage could be supported in the downtown.
Generally, every 1,000 residents help support approximately 30,000 to 45,000 square feet of commercial uses. With over 10,500 current residents, the 331,000 square feet of post-fire occupied retail space identified in the 2022 market study by EPS has a population base to support it. In the updated Peloton study, it is estimated that by 2060 the projected residential growth of 120
Paradise could support an additional 410,000 square feet of commercial space with 190,000 square feet of that projected for the downtown.
Utilizing that market analysis data and comparing it to the 33 acres of undeveloped land available in the downtown, which has capacity to accommodate more than 200,000 square feet of commercial space, shows that the downtown has the ability to support the current and future projected commercial square footage needs with a large portion of that being located in the walkable downtown core (moratorium area) which in itself currently has 13.61 acres of vacant land.
While the Town continues to recover, Peloton presented some short (2025-2030) and long-term (2030-2060) activation strategies for the downtown and walkable downtown core. In the shortterm, to bring a renewed interest to the downtown and attract local visitors, suggestions for areas around the Fir St/Almond St intersection and the Birch St/Foster Rd intersection included:
Hosting weekly events such as farmers’ markets, food truck gatherings, and outdoor entertainment.
Utilize existing street and sidewalk infrastructure to create pedestrian-friendly zones and encourage foot traffic.
Introducing pop-up retail and temporary community uses to fill vacant spaces, generate excitement and test market demand.
In the long-term, to support sustainable growth and reflecting Paradise as a livable community, the suggestions included:
Encourage mixed use development with ground-floor retail and upper-floor residential. Promote public plazas and outdoor seating areas to foster community interaction. Emphasize pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.
Recommendations
To support the development of the downtown, with a walkable downtown core, UDA and staff analyzed the existing zoning standards and looked for ways to best support the vision of the downtown based on the public’s feedback and the market analysis. Walkable Downtown Core (WDC) boundaries
Based on feedback from stakeholders and the public, it is recommended that the boundaries of Central Business (CB) District, including the walkable downtown core (WDC), be extended to include the three parcels that used to house the PID corp yard, just north of the Community Park. Use Recommendations for the CB District
121
Responding to consistent comment from community members about the need to remove obstacles for development, there is a recommendation to make some of the land uses that currently require some level of entitlement (use permit) permitted by right. Those include:
Body piercing/tattoo shop
Bed and breakfast
Club or lounge
Cocktail lounge
Commercial recreation (indoor)
Cultural service
Daycare facility
Financial services
Food sales
Liquor sales
Manufacturing (custom)
Medical offices
Park and recreation
Parking facility (public)
Restaurant
Uses Recommended to be added to the CB District
Temporary uses can be a good early activator while the market continues to recover and new permanent uses that make the downtown a desirable place to visit are encouraged. Those recommended uses to be added to the CB District include:
Temporary uses listed in Paradise Municipal Code section 17.32.100 not currently permitted in the CB zone such as:
o Outdoor special sales, outdoor art and craft shows or exhibits, swap meets, farmers markets, flea markets, and parking lot sales.
o Seasonal retail sale or agricultural or horticultural products raised off premises. Drive-in theater/outdoor amphitheater.
Food truck vending.
Uses Recommended to be removed from the CB District
What we heard from the public is that there is not a desire for the following land uses in the downtown:
Auto repair
Laundry services
Any other uses that generate noxious fumes or excessive noise Use Recommendations for the Walkable Downtown Core (WDC) Similar to the CB zoning district, which encompasses the greater downtown area, there are uses in the WDC recommended to be permitted by right instead of requiring any type of entitlement (use permit). Those include:
Body piercing/tattoo shop
Bed and breakfast
Club or lounge
Cocktail lounge
Commercial recreation (indoor)
Cultural service
Daycare facility
Dwelling, accessory (with permitted primary use) *for upper floors only Financial services
122
Food sales
Liquor sales
Manufacturing (custom)
Medical offices
Multiple-family residence *for upper floors only
Park and recreation
Parking facility (public)
Restaurant
Uses Recommended to be added to the WDC
Mirroring the recommended additions to the greater downtown area, the WDC is also recommended to allow:
Temporary uses listed in Paradise Municipal Code section 17.32.100 not currently permitted in the CB zone such as:
o Outdoor special sales, outdoor art and craft shows or exhibits, swap meets, farmers markets, flea markets, and parking lot sales.
o Seasonal retail sale or agricultural or horticultural products raised off premises. Drive-in theater/outdoor amphitheater.
Food truck vending.
Uses Recommended to be removed from the WDC
What we heard from the public is that there is not a desire for the following land uses in the WDC:
Auto repair
Laundry services
Any other uses that generate noxious fumes or excessive noise Dwelling, accessory (with permitted primary use) *on ground floors Multiple-family residence *on ground floors
Single-family residence
Two-family residence
Development Standard Changes for the CB District & WDC Feedback received from the public and stakeholders about desired building types in the downtown showed a consensus for standalone and/or attached buildings, like traditional Main Streets.
Knowing that there are slope considerations in the downtown as well as the potential desire to build smaller commercial buildings, there is a recommendation to consider reducing the minimum lot widths required in the downtown (measured at the building setback line) from 55 feet to 30 feet, to match the current street frontage requirements, when connected to a sewer system. To reduce the width without the benefit of a sewer connection could pose a hardship for the physical space requirements for installation of a septic system.
Overall, these recommendations are rooted in the belief that these changes can help activate early activity and interest in the downtown as well as support sustained growth in that area with uses the public wants to see and are more attainable to the local business owners.
Financial Impact:
There are no General Fund costs associated with this discussion item beyond what was already budgeted for consultants.

Town of Paradise
Council Agenda Summary
Date: November 12, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(e)
ORIGINATED BY: Scott E. Huber, Town Attorney
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Town Council Adoption of a Text Amendment to Chapter
2.45 Relating to the Town’s Purchasing Policy
LONG-TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Consider adopting Town of Paradise Urgency Ordinance No. 639, “An Urgency Ordinance of the Town Council of the Town Of Paradise Amending Portions of Chapter 2.45 of the Paradise Municipal Code Relating to the Town’s Purchasing System”; or,
2. Direct an alternative directive to town staff.
Background and Analysis:
Town Staff believes that clarity of the Paradise Municipal Code is necessary for the effective functioning of the Town and for certainty in the procurement process. Town Staff learned of a misunderstanding related to the application of protocol for evaluating proposals and the interplay of federal grant requirements versus the language of the Town Code.
Specifically, language in Section 2.45.010(B) of the Town Code may create a misunderstanding related to the implementation of federal grant guidelines for evaluation of proposals for work that is paid for with federal grant funds. In addition, this modification will clarify that Chapter 2.45 does not apply to the procurement of professional services.
The attached Urgency Ordinance, if approved, will implement the recommended modifications.
Staff recommends the approval of the Urgency Ordinance.
Financial Impact:
The cost for publication of the ordinance summary in the local newspaper will be borne by the Town of Paradise.

Town of Paradise
Council Agenda Summary
Date: November 12, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(f)
ORIGINATED BY: Tony Lindsey, Community Development Director – Building & Code Enforcement
REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Fuel Break Requirement Discussion
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Provide staff with direction on desired changes, if any, to the Paradise Municipal Code to present at a future Council meeting.
Background:
At the Town Council meeting in September 2024, Council Member Culleton initiated a discussion regarding the potential expansion of fuel break requirements. During the meeting, the staff and council members discussed the current standards and the rationale for enhancing defensible space fuel break regulations. An ad hoc committee, consisting of Council Members Crowder and Tryon, was established to explore this issue further. This committee was tasked with developing and presenting recommendations on this matter. Additionally, the staff was directed to prepare and submit suggestions or potential changes to the existing regulations for the Council's consideration, aiming to refine and possibly strengthen the community's approach to managing fire risks.
Analysis:
The current regulations in the Paradise Municipal Code stipulate that a parcel of less than 1 ½ acres must completely abate weeds across the entire property. In contrast, parcels larger than 1 ½ acres are only required to maintain a fuel break along the perimeter that is 30 feet wide. This differentiation in requirements is designed to manage fire risks effectively while considering larger property sizes and management feasibility.
The committee reviewed various fire mitigation strategies and ultimately reached a consensus on potential amendments to the code, as outlined below.
Proposed Requirements
1. Perimeter Fuel Break: To enhance fire safety and facilitate fire department access, the 30- foot requirement should be increased to a 50-foot-wide fuel break around the entire property perimeter for parcels greater than 1 ½ acre.
2. Division of Parcel, Interior Fuel Breaks:
a. Add a requirement for parcels greater than 1 ½ acres, up to 5 acres, to bisect the parcel, dividing it into two roughly equal sections with a fifty (50) foot fuel break. 188
b. Add a requirement for parcels greater than 5 acres to require additional fuel breaks. Each fifty (50) feet in width shall intersect at the center of the parcel, dividing it into four approximately equal sections. This design aims to segment the property into manageable "burn zones" for better fire suppression control.
3. Standardization of Requirements: The specifications for these interior fuel breaks will align with those established for an unimproved parcel of one and one-half (1½) acres or less. a. Weeds, dry grass, and brush must be mowed to a height of four (4) inches. b. Ladder fuels (vegetation, brush, and small trees under mature trees) shall be removed.
c. Trees shall be pruned up to six (6) feet from the ground. Pruning shall not exceed one-third (⅓) of the height for shorter-height trees. Tree placement shall be planned to ensure the mature canopy is no closer than ten (10) feet to the edge of any structure.
Justification for Increased Fuel Break Width
The California Building and Fire codes strongly support the recommendation to increase the fuel break width from 30 to 50 feet, primarily due to the concept of Fire Separation Distance in the building code, which acknowledges the benefits of maintaining up to thirty feet of open space to mitigate fire spread through radiant heat. Additionally, the fire code mandates a minimum access road width of 20 feet. Expanding the fuel break not only complies with this requirement but also provides extra space that significantly eases access for fire responders, which is particularly beneficial on larger, undeveloped lots. This structural and access planning enhancement is crucial for improving fire safety measures.
Safety Benefits to the Community
Extending the operational safety zone an additional 20 feet beyond the current 30-foot standard fuel break provides firefighters with a larger area to operate safely, especially critical near property boundaries where unpredictable changes in fire behavior can occur.
The regulations for fire prevention include rigorous weed abatement on smaller parcels and extensive fuel breaks on larger ones, effectively reducing the amount of combustible materials.
This significant decrease in available fuel minimizes the risk of fire ignition and its spread across properties, enhancing safety for the entire community.
Uniform vegetation management practices enforced by these regulations are vital in establishing barriers that slow down or prevent fires. This is crucial for safeguarding homes, businesses, and vital infrastructure. Additionally, the 50-foot fuel breaks around larger and within properties create the necessary space for emergency vehicles and personnel, improving access and reducing response times during emergencies. These measures also facilitate safer and more efficient evacuation paths, minimizing the danger to residents during wildfire incidents.
Considerations of Fire Behavior
Fuel breaks can effectively mitigate the effects of radiant heat, a significant factor in wildfire spread, by increasing the distance between combustible materials and structures or other areas, thus decreasing the risk of ignition. Strategically placed, these breaks also act as barriers interrupting the linear progression of wildfires, segmenting the land into smaller, manageable "burn zones." These zones significantly slow the fire’s movement, enhancing firefighters' ability to effectively manage and extinguish the blaze.
In areas like Paradise, where strong winds are prevalent, fuel breaks are crucial for preventing wind-driven embers from igniting adjacent vegetation. These embers, capable of traveling long 189
distances, pose a substantial risk of sparking isolated spot fires. Maintaining cleared zones helps mitigate this risk, a frequent issue in windy conditions.
As environmental conditions change, so does fire behavior, necessitating adaptive management strategies. Regulations that enforce rigorous fuel management are designed to respond to the increasing severity and frequency of wildfires, helping communities better prepare for and withstand these evolving challenges.
Strategic Benefits
Enhanced fire containment strategies like those used in lumber yards or mills involve segmented fuel breaks. These breaks serve as barriers that help prevent or slow the spread of fire across a property by reducing the contiguous fuel load. Additionally, they improve access for fire departments and enhance the effectiveness of their operational tactics.
This report outlines the strategic need and regulatory basis for proposed enhancements to fuel break requirements on large properties, focusing on fire safety and operational efficiency for fire response teams.
If the majority of the Town Council would like to consider formally adopting regulations governing the expanded fuel breaks, staff would bring back a draft ordinance for review based on feedback from the November Council meeting.
Financial Impact:
Discussion of municipal code ordinances will not financially impact the Town of Paradise. 190

Council Agenda Summary
Date: November 12, 2024
Agenda Item: 6(g)
ORIGINATED BY: Louis Johnson, Supervising Project Manager REVIEWED BY: Jim Goodwin, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Camp Fire Hydrant Repair Project – PSE Approval and Authorize Advertisement for Bids.
LONG TERM
RECOVERY PLAN:
No
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Consider concurring with staff recommendation to file a CEQA Notice of Exemption for the Camp Fire Hydrant Repair Project; and,
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2024- , “A resolution of the Town Council of the Town of Paradise Approving the Plans, Specifications and Estimate for the Camp Fire Hydrant Repair Project and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids on the Project”. (ROLL CALL VOTE)
Background:
In 2004 the Town of Paradise entered an agreement with Paradise Irrigation District (PID) which describes ownership and maintenance responsibilities of both parties relating to fire hydrants and appurtenances. As stated in the agreement, “the Town accepts and acknowledges ownership of all fire hydrants and appurtenances.” The agreement also defines fire hydrants and appurtenances as “fire hydrants, mainline tees, gate valves, supply runs and bury-risers.” In 2018 the Town experienced the devastating Camp Fire during which unprecedented damage occurred to both public and private property, including Town fire hydrants. Shortly after the start of the Camp Fire the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declared FEMA-4407- DR-CA on November 12, 2018.
In 2020, FEMA then went on to award Project Worksheet 359, Project #130763, to repair damage to fire hydrants townwide.
Since 2018 PID has made substantial progress on repairing hydrants damaged by the fire.
However, 24 hydrants remain inoperable and require repair to be fully functional.
Analysis:
Staff has prepared the plans, specifications, and cost estimate for the Camp Fire Hydrant Repair Project. The total project includes the repair of 24 fire hydrants. Fire hydrants were identified in cooperation with Paradise Irrigation District who operates and maintains the hydrants within the Town. A general map of the hydrant locations is included as an attachment. 191
With Council approval of the plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids, staff proposes the following schedule:
Advertise for bid: January 14 – February 04, 2025
Award Contract: March 11, 2025
Construction: Spring 2025
The plans and specifications for the project are included as an attachment.
Financial Impact:
In 2020, FEMA awarded Project Worksheet 359, Project #130763, related to FEMA-4407-DR-CA (Camp Fire), to repair damage to fire hydrants townwide. The award is for a federal share (75%) of $543,750 with a local match (25%) of $181,250 resulting in a total project budget of $725,000.
The local match portion of the project will be sourced from the Town’s Hydrant Fund collected by Paradise Irrigation District.
Environmental Review:
The CEQA process requires the lead agency to examine the project proposal and evaluate potential impacts. Staff has evaluated the subject project thoroughly and found that the project is exempt under State CEQA Guidelines [Section 15301(c) – Existing Facilities] which states:
Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The types of “existing facilities” itemized below are not intended to be all-inclusive of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use.
(b) Existing facilities of both investor and publicly-owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility services; Based on CEQA Section 15301(c), staff is requesting the Council to concur and approve for filing the Notice of Exemption with the Butte County Recorder’s Office.

FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS
The Project requires the payment of prevailing wage rates. Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 1770 et seq, the general prevailing wage rates in the county in which the project work is to be done have been determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations. These wages are set forth in the General Prevailing Wage Rates for this project, available at Town of Paradise and available from the California Department of Industrial Relations’ Internet web site at http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD. Future effective general prevailing wage rates, which have been predetermined and are on file with the California Department of Industrial Relations are referenced but not printed in the general prevailing wage rates.
Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in the Special Provisions. The Federal minimum wage rates set forth in this project as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor are set forth in the books entitled “Notice to Contractors, Special Provisions, and Contract Documents”. The Federal minimum wage rates for this project may be obtained directly from the Department of Labor home page at www.gpo.gov/davisbacon. Click on “Browse All Determinations By State”, then click on “California”, and then click on the “Highway” determination for Butte County. Addenda to modify the Federal minimum wage rates, if necessary, will be issued to holders of the plans and specifications.
If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate.
The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes "helper" (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate, which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) provides a toll-free “hotline” service to report bid rigging activities.
Bid rigging activities can be reported Mondays through Fridays, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, Telephone No. 1-800-424-9071. Anyone with knowledge of possible bid rigging, bidder collusion, or other fraudulent activities should use the “hotline” to report these activities. The “hotline” is part of the DOT’s continuing effort to identify and investigate highway construction contract fraud and abuse and is operated under the direction of the DOT Inspector General. All information will be treated confidentially, and caller anonymity will be respected.
TOWN’S DECISION ON BID
In its sole discretion, the Town of Paradise or its designee may reject any and all bids presented, may accept an item or group of items of any bid, may modify or cancel in whole or in part the notice inviting bids, and may determine to re-advertise for bids. Similarly, the Town Council or its designee reserves the right to waive non-material informalities and non-material irregularities in any bids received.
If two or more bids received are for the same total amount or unit price, quality and service being equal, the Town Council or its designee may accept the one it chooses or accept the lowest bid made after negotiation with tie bidders pursuant to Public Contract Code 20166.
The Town officer or employee conducting the bidding procedure shall present the bid tabulation to the Town Council or its designee for consideration and award if deemed appropriate. 210

No charge for delivery, shipping, parcel post, packing, insurance, license fees, permits, or for any other purpose will be paid by the Town of Paradise unless expressly included and itemized in the bid.
PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 7201
Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 7201, Town will withhold five percent (5%) from each payment to contractor until completion of the project. Town will release such retention amount to the contractor 30 days after the recordation of the Notice of Completion for the Project, provided there are no pending stop notices.
PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 22300
Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22300, for monies earned by the Contractor and withheld by the Town to ensure the performance of the Contract, the Contractor, may, at its option, choose to substitute securities meeting the requirements of said Public Contract Code Section 22300.

1. During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract or if unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the contract, are encountered at the site, the party discovering such conditions shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the specific differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed.
2. Upon written notification, the engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the contract, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the contract modified in writing accordingly. The engineer will notify the contractor of the determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
3. No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the contractor will be allowed unless the contractor has provided the required written notice.
4. No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on unchanged work. (This provision may be omitted by the Local Agency, at their option.)
24.D Suspensions of Work Ordered by the Engineer
1. If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the engineer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the contractor believes that additional compensation and/or contract time is due as a result of such suspension or delay, the contractor shall submit to the engineer in writing a request for adjustment within 7 calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.
2. Upon receipt, the engineer will evaluate the contractor's request. If the engineer agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the contractor, its suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the engineer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in 236
Camp Fire Hydrant Repair Project Town of Paradise
Contract No. 8404 CON Page 42
writing accordingly. The contractor will be notified of the engineer's determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
3. No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the contractor has submitted the request for adjustment within the time prescribed.
4. No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would have been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.
34.D Significant Changes in the Character of Work
1. The engineer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the work, such changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to satisfactorily complete the project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the contractor agrees to perform the work as altered.
2. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will be made to the contract.
The basis for the adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable.
3. If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the contract.
4. The term “significant change” shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances:
• When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction; or
• When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the contract, is increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase in quantity shall apply only to that portion in excess of 125 percent of original contract item quantity, or in case of a decrease below 75 percent, to the actual amount of work performed.

The Prime Contractor has primary responsibility for meeting this training requirement.
If the prime contract subcontracts a contract part, they shall determine how many trainees or apprentices are to be trained by the subcontractor. Include these training requirements in each subcontract.
Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation must be in their 1st year of apprenticeship or training.

The prime contractor shall obtain the Town’s approval for this submitted information before the prime contractor starts work. The Town of Paradise credits you for each apprentice or trainee the prime contractor employs on the project who is currently enrolled or becomes enrolled in an approved program.
The primary objective of this section is to train and upgrade minorities and women toward journeymen status. The prime contractor shall make every effort to enroll minority and women apprentices or trainees, such as conducting systematic and direct recruitment through public and private sources likely to yield minority and women apprentices or trainees, to the extent they are available within a reasonable recruitment area and show that you have made the efforts. In making these efforts, the prime contractor shall not discriminate against any applicant for training.
The prime contractor shall not employ as an apprentice or trainee an employee:

1. It is calculated to:
a. Meet the equal employment opportunity responsibilities b. Qualify the average apprentice or trainee for journeyman status in the classification involved by the end of the training period
2. It is registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, and it is administered in a way consistent with the equal employment responsibilities of Federalaid highway construction contracts The prime contractor shall obtain the State's approval for their training program before you start project work involving the classification covered by the program.
The prime contractor shall provide training in the construction crafts, not in clerk-typist or secretarialtype positions. Training is allowed in lower level management positions such as office engineers, estimators, and timekeepers if the training is oriented toward construction applications. Training is allowed in the laborer classification if significant and meaningful training is provided and approved by the division office. Off-site training is allowed if the training is an integral part of an approved training program and does not make up a significant part of the overall training.
The Town of Paradise reimburses the prime contractor 80 cents per hour of training given an employee on this contract under an approved training program:
1. For on-site training
2. For off-site training if the apprentice or trainee is currently employed on a Federal-aid project 255
