CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 1, 2022
SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase New Patrol Apparatus for the Fire Department SOURCE: Fire
COMMENT: On September 10, 2021, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded $1,527,287 to the Porterville Fire Department through the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant program. These funds will be used to pay for the first three years of employment for six additional firefighters, assisting the City in achieving one of the recommendations of the Investigation Report completed by the Serious Accident Review Team (SART) regarding the Library Incident. The six new firefighters will increase the daily staffing of the Department by two personnel per shift. The recruitment process for these new positions is underway.
The increased staffing also creates a need for additional apparatus. In addition to the staffing expenses, additional funding is needed to purchase a new patrol apparatus. The patrol will allow for additional personnel to respond to emergency incidents, and Measure I funds are funding source proposed for this purchase.
Staff requested three quotes for the purchase of a patrol, from Boise Mobile Equipment (BME), Rosenbauer and Skeeter Brush Trucks. The quote information provided below includes sales tax and applicable fees for the City Council's reference:
Boise Mobile Equipment (Option B): $274,198.85
Rosenbauer: $290,940.76
Skeeter Brush Trucks: $316,720.10
Based on the lowest quote received from BME, the estimated cost of the patrol is $274,198.85. In addition to the purchase of the patrol, staff is further requesting up to $20,000 for additional equipment, as well as a ten percent (10%) contingency for the total purchase, at a total price not to exceed $323,618.74.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
1. Authorize the purchase of a new patrol apparatus from Boise Mobile Equipment for $274,198.85, and $20,000 for additional tools and equipment, with an added ten percent (10%)
contingency of $29,419.89, the total cost is $323,618.74.
2. Authorize a budget adjustment in the Measure I Fund
appropriating additional funds of $323,618.74 in the Fire Department for the purchase of the new equipment.

BUCK STOP DODGE SUPER SINGLE CONVERSION
The Buckstop Single Wheel Conversion is an engineered kit with each component integrated to acheive as close to OEM structure as possible while converting from dual rear wheels to four single tires. The purpose of the Conversion is for greater off-road traction and performance without compromising weight carrying capacity. At the core of the kit are 41" tires with 6700 pound capacity each. Clearance for the big tires is achieved with a small suspension lift and large cut-out fender flares to keep the center of gravity as low as possible. The wheels are reversible and interchangeable front to rear for proper tire rotation. Track width is roughly 92" at the outside and consistent front to rear. Fender Flares are an itegral part of the kit providing complete tire coverage from road spray and also replacing and covering parts of the body that are cut away for tire clearance Kirk Lowery
Boise Mobile Equipment
110617-0028 11/22/21
13 Suspension
Key components of the Buckstop Suspension Kit are replacement Radius Arms, Coils Springs, and Heavy-duty Track Bar Mount. These pieces maintain proper, original steering geometry. Performance is enhanced with Buckstop’s Heavy Duty track bar mount fabricated from 3/8” steel.
Fender Flares and Body Modification
In order to neatly fit the monster 41” tires under the body, the internal frame, fender, and body require cutting and trimming. Buckstop’s uniquely designed 8” wide fender flares are a special part of the puzzle that cover the cut-out portions of the body and also completely cover the tire from road spray. The flare is a one-piece design including a return inner wheel liner that integrates with the OE liner. Fender Flares are shipped in un-finished fiberglass. Final coating/paint is required. Behind the headlight, a major piece of the inner frame structure must be removed for tire clearance.
Wheels and Tires
Tires: With a 19,500lb GVW, rear axle capacities approach 14,000lbs requiring a tire capacity up to 7,000lbs each. The 335/80R20 is the perfect choice - a “military” style radial tire with excellent handling characteristics under load. It has an off-road tread pattern and can be aired down to match different loads. Tire noise is acceptable at a level equivalent to a standard truck mud tire.
Wheels: The military tire has a higher shoulder than light-truck street tire. A typical street, light-truck wheel will not fit the tire properly and carry the weight. Buckstop manufactures wheels that are designed for the load and the military tire. They track in-line front to rear compensating for the difference in front and rear axle widths of dually trucks. The wheel is single piece construction without extra bolt flanges, spacers, and bolts. Weight capacity is acheived through a heavy-duty rim made from ¼” thick material. Tires can easily be rotated front to rear for even wear without dismounting the tire from the rim.
Bumper
Topping off the truck is an extra-wide bumper compensating the increase in front track width. The bumper extends past the fender flares to fend off fence posts, trees, and other obstacles jumping out along the way. At the heart of the bumper are the same features found on standard Buckstop bumpers including winch mount, tow hooks or mount points, trailer receiver, latching winch access door, built-in light mounts, and several options for built-in sirens, speakers, and monitor.
Underside Protection
Undercarriage protection is available with Radiator, Transfer Case, and Transmission Skid Pans designed to keep branches and debris from damaging the underside of the vehicle. These pieces are heavy-duty construction and fit tightly to the underside with minimal loss of ground clearance.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 1, 2022
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Request for an Extension to Conditional Use Permit (PRC 2019-035-C)
SOURCE: Community Development
COMMENT: At its meeting on March 3, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 17-2020 for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2019-035-C. The applicant received approval and conditions to allow the construction of a 63,000± square foot, four-story hotel, consisting of 103 rooms located at 1106 W. Henderson Avenue in the CR (Retail Centers) zone district. The City's Development Ordinance requires approval of a CUP when developing a hotel in the CR zone district.
Condition No. 3 of Resolution 17-2020, states that the CUP shall expire after two years from the date of approval, which is typical for this type of discretionary action. The conditions also outlined that the applicant may request a one year extension of the CUP. The CUP (2019-035-C) is set to expire on March 3, 2022. The applicant informed staff that the pandemic and the corresponding supply chain disruptions contributed to the project's delay.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the draft Resolution approving the requested one-year extension of Conditional Use Permit (2019- 035-C) to conditionally allow development of a hotel.

WHEREAS: The City Council of the City of Porterville, at its regular scheduled meeting of March 17, 2020, conducted a public hearing to consider Conditional Use Permit (PRC 2019- 038-C), a request to allow the construction of a 52,200± square-foot hotel located on Montgomery Avenue, generally at the southeast corner of State Route 190 and Jaye Street; and WHEREAS: On March 17, 2020, the City Council approved the request with Resolution 17-2020, condition No. 3 of which limited the term of the associated Conditional Use Permit (PRC 2019-038-C) to two years with the option of a one year extension upon written request; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council of the City of Porterville does hereby approve the one year extension of Conditional Use Permit (PRC 2019-038-C) subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant submitted the required written application for extension of the CUP approval prior to permit expiration; and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA – MARCH 1, 2022
SUBJECT: Status and Review of Local Emergency: Drought
SOURCE: City Manager's Office
COMMENT:
At its meeting of May 5, 2015, the City Council took action to approve a Resolution Declaring a Drought Emergency in the City of Porterville. At its meeting of February 15, 2022, the Council reviewed the status of existence of local emergency, and acted to continue its Resolution of local emergency.
Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-29-15 on Wednesday, April 1, 2015, which established drought-related mandates and restrictions in addition to those already stipulated in previous Executive Orders B-26-14 and B-28-14. Of significance, the Governor directed the State Water Resources Control Board to impose restrictions to achieve a statewide twenty-five percent (25%) reduction in potable urban water usage through February 28, 2016, in comparison to the amount used in 2013, and with consideration given to per capita usage as a basis. The Governor further directed the Board to impose additional restrictions on commercial, industrial, and institutional properties with significant landscaping (cemeteries, golf courses, parks, schools, etc.), to also achieve a twenty-five (25%) reduction in potable water usage. Also of significance, the Board was directed to prohibit irrigation with potable water outside of newly constructed homes and buildings that is not delivered by drip or micro-spray systems.
On November 13, 2015, Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-36-15, which extends emergency conservation regulations through October 2016, if drought conditions persist through January 2016. On February 2, 2016, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted extended emergency water conservation regulations, to be in effect March 1 through October 31, 2016.
The City of Porterville benefited somewhat from the extended regulations as the City's water conservation rate has been reduced from thirty-two percent (32%) to twenty-six percent (26%), due to new water connections that have been made and population served (4%), as well as a new climate adjustment factor that was considered (2%).
On May 9, 2016, Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-37-16 ("Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life"), which directs the State Water Resources Control Board to establish new regulations making permanent the emergency conservation regulations. On May 18, 2016, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted a statewide water conservation approach that replaces the percentage reduction-based water conservation standard with a Item No. 4.
localized "stress test" approach that mandates urban water suppliers act immediately to ensure at least a three-year supply of water to their customers under continued drought conditions.
On April 7, 2017, Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-40-17, which ended the drought state of emergency in most of California, with the exception of Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Tuolumne counties where emergency water supply and reliability projects are continuing toward addressing diminishing groundwater supplies. The Order maintains monthly reporting requirements and prohibitions on wasteful practices.
On May 31, 2018, Governor Brown signed both AB 1668 (Friedman) and SB 606 (Hertzberg), which set permanent overall targets for indoor and outdoor water consumption. The legislation sets an initial limit for indoor water use of fifty-five (55) gallons per-person per-day in 2022, reducing to 52.5 gallons perperson per-day in 2025, and finally to fifty (50) gallons per-person per-day in 2030. The amount of residential outdoor use is yet-to-be determined, but will allow for varying regional climates. In addition, a standard for water loss due to leak rates in water system pipes will be established. As an urban water provider, the City will need to submit its plan for compliance for approval by the State Water Resources Control Board.
On March 5, 2021, Secretary Vilsack of the United States Department of Agriculture federally-designated Tulare County as a primary natural disaster area due to ongoing drought conditions. On April 21, 2021, Governor Newsom issued a State of Emergency Proclamation due to drought conditions, including Tulare County. On April 27, 2021, the Tulare County Board of Supervisors adopted a Resolution Proclaiming a Local Emergency due to severe drought conditions. On January 4, 2022, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted emergency regulations to supplement voluntary water conservation.
Initially within the city of Porterville, twenty-six (26) residences within the city were determined to have dry wells, for which City staff submitted a Mutual Aid Request to Tulare County OES to initiate the household tank program for identified properties within the city where wells are dry and challenged for permanent connection. The State has committed funding for non-profit agencies to continue drought-related activities, which Self-Help Enterprises has continued the household tank program locally, through State Cleanup and Abatement Account (CAA) emergency funds.
Representatives for the City, County, State (CalOES, DDW, DWR, and SWB) and non-profit partners continued to meet in support of the long-term permanent water connection project for the entire East Porterville area and the estimated 1,800 expected future connections. DWR identified 423 residential units in the East Porterville area (381 of which are in the City's Urban Development Boundary), that were served by the County's Household Tank Program and desired by the State to be connected to the City's water distribution system as soon as possible. DWR has completed a significant City waterline extension project to permanently connect those 423 residential units to the City's water Item No. 4.
system (considered Phase I of the project). To provide initial source water for the DWR extension project, CalOES desired to expeditiously connect the new well on Olive Avenue to the City's water system instead of being first equipped as a filling station. Given the new well has an estimated water production value of 800 gallons per minute, as well as a SWB assumed 1.5 gallons per minute per residence, the new well could effectively serve up to five hundred (500) single-family residential units. The City indicated its significant interest that the E. Vandalia Avenue area and its eighty (80) residential units be included in the water connection project, to which the State was agreeable.
Given CalOES has paid for the development of the new well, and its connection to the City's water system, the City will be required under "Drought Redundancy and Resiliency Provisions" to make available to the State up to three million gallons of water per month without charge for emergency purposes.
To proceed with the connection of the new well to the City's water system and the 500 East Porterville and E. Vandalia Avenue residential units, the City Council approved modifications to the Draft Agreement between the City and County at its meeting on April 5, 2016, which the County Board of Supervisors subsequently approved at their meeting on May 10, 2016.
A Memorandum of Understanding between the State, County, and City on the East Porterville permanent water connection project was approved by the Council during a Special Meeting on Tuesday, June 21, 2016, and approved by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, June 28, 2016. With the approval of the MOU, the State began the permanent connection of approximately forty (40) homes that are located along existing City water mains. Subsequently, the State officially requested that the City approve the connection of an additional thirty (30) residences as part of the first immediate connections, for up to a total of seventy (70), which the Council approved at its meeting on August 2, 2016.
In regards to the new well's development and connection to the City's water distribution system, the Board of Supervisors awarded the contract for equipping and connecting the new well at its meeting on Tuesday, August 16, 2016, and construction activities commenced the week of October 10, 2016.
County staff had previously indicated that the well would be in service and connected to the City's system no later than December 2016, however, the well was operational and connected to the City's water distribution as of Friday, February 17, 2017. Given the delay in the well's completion and connection, DWR requested that the Council consider allowing the connection of residences as they become prepared for connection, to which the Council was receptive, and a Draft MOU Amendment was approved by the Council at its meeting on December 6, 2016, and subsequently approved by the Board of Supervisors at is meeting on December 20, 2016. City staff continued to work with County staff toward the transfer of the well's ownership from the County to the City, which at its meeting on April 20, 2021, the Council approved the draft Transfer Agreement subject to the City Attorney's final form.
Item No. 4.
As of Friday, March 31, 2017, the date the State established as the final day for property owners to complete the registration process to participate in the Statefunded connection program opportunity, of the 1,017 eligible developed residential properties identified by the State for connection, 722 completed the required Extra-Territorial Services Agreement, leaving 295 developed residential properties non-responsive to this unique connection program, twenty-three (23) of which were reported as having either dry or diminishing capacity wells. On February 6, 2018, the final residential connection was made of the approximate eligible eight hundred (800) residences in East Porterville to the City's water system.
City staff continues to coordinate with Self-Help Enterprises and State representatives toward the extension of water mains to serve all residential properties within City limits and the city's periphery that are currently participating in the County's Household Tank Program. The two main areas of focus are N. Cobb Street (northwest of State Route 65 and Pioneer Avenue), and S. Cloverleaf Street (southeast of State Route 65 and Olive Avenue). The State has maintained its commitment to grant-fund the necessary infrastructure and connection fees, providing an official funding letter to the City on January 18, 2018, which commits up to $2.81 million in funding until December 31, 2019. The authorization to advertise for bids for the water connection project was approved by the Council at its July 17th meeting, after which DWR reviewed the bid package for compliance and approved in December the package for advertisement. Council authorized award of the construction contract for approximately $1.82 million at its meeting on January 15, 2019.
City staff conducted a pre-construction public outreach meeting with the affected residents on the status of the project on Thursday, April 4, 2019.
Council authorized the agreement with Self-Help Enterprises Inc. to provide the private residential connections at its meeting on July 2, 2019, and construction work began on the project. At its meeting on October 1, 2019, the Council accepted the public works segment of the project in the installation of water mains as complete, with Self-Help and CSET continuing to collaborate on the completion of the individual private connections and abandonment of private wells. City staff has recently been made aware that there may be a couple of additional residences whose wells are dry that are located along existing City water mains or may require further extension of water mains.
Staff is coordinating with State staff on addressing these new isolated needs.
County OES and the State Division of Drinking Water (DDW) have reported to the City that the Central Mutual Water Company, located south of the city and south of Gibbons Avenue, has had its well run dry and desires an immediate emergency connection to the City's water system to serve the forty-one (41) connections currently without water. DDW is wishing to support a financial application to upgrade the small water system to City standards (new water lines, meters ,etc.), and to sponsor an Urban Development Boundary (UDB) Amendment application to Tulare County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), given this area is currently outside the City's UDB but within the City's Urban Area Boundary (UAB). Given several private wells have run dry in this area, DDW is also attempting to sponsor their connection to Item No. 4.
the City's water system. For source water capacity for the connections, DWR will include these new connections within the East Porterville water connection capacity development projects. At its Special meeting on August 30, 2019, the City Council directed staff to proceed with the immediate emergency connection of the Central water system, with the permanent connection of the system contingent upon an Agreement with DDW to the sponsorship conditions they have offered. At its meeting on October 1, 2019, the Council directed staff to proceed with the amendment of the UDB to facilitate annexation, which a public meeting with the affected residents was conducted on Wednesday, October 9, 2019. At its meeting on April 21, 2020, the Council conducted a Public Hearing and approved Resolutions of approval of the environmental determination and amendment to the UDB to facilitate annexation. At its meeting on June 1, 2021, the Council approved the State Water Board funding agreement for the development of a City-owned production well, distribution mains and water meters to serve each customer, as well as fire hydrants. On July 20, 2021, the City received notification from the State Water Board that the Akin/Central Water Consolidation Project funding agreement had been formally approved and executed.
DDW has also reported to the City that the Del Oro East Plano water system, located on Paul Street (southeast of the intersection of Plano Street and Worth Avenue), is experiencing problems with its existing well and have implemented severe water restrictions. The East Plano water system serves fourteen (14) residences and approximately forty-five (45) people. DDW is wishing to provide financial support to upgrade the small water system to City standards (new water lines, meters ,etc.), and for source water capacity for the connections, DDW would need to either pay appropriate fees and/or develop a capacity development project. The Council is aware that the Del Oro Grandview Gardens water system (north of W. North Grand Avenue) is also experiencing significant issues, and DDW may seek their future consolidation with the City's water system as well.
DDW has further reported to the City that the Beverly Grand Mutual Water Company water system, located north of West North Grand Avenue, is experiencing problems with its existing well and water quality issues, and desires its connection to the City's system to serve the thirty-one (31) residences the system serves. DDW is wishing to provide financial support to upgrade the small water system to City standards (new water lines, meters ,etc.), and for source water capacity for the connections, DDW has agreed to pay appropriate fees toward developing a capacity development project, which at its meeting of October 3, 2017, the Council approved a purchase agreement with Smee Homes, Inc. for the acquisition of property along the Tule River for the development of a new municipal well. At its meeting of October 1, 2019, the Council approved proceeding with the consolidation of the Beverly Grand water system.

Dear Governor Newsom:
In accordance with 7 CFR 759.5(a), I am designating 50 California counties as primary natural disaster areas due to a recent drought.
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor (see http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/), these counties suffered from a drought intensity value during the growing season of 1) D2 Drought-Severe for 8 or more consecutive weeks or 2) D3 Drought-Extreme or D4 Drought-Exceptional.
In accordance with section 321(a) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, additional areas of your state and adjacent states are named as contiguous disaster counties. Enclosed you will find documentation that provides a detailed list of all primary and contiguous counties impacted by this disaster.
A Secretarial disaster designation makes farm operators in primary counties and those counties contiguous to such primary counties eligible to be considered for certain assistance from the Farm Service Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are met. This assistance includes FSA emergency loans. Farmers in eligible counties have 8 months from the date of a Secretarial disaster declaration to apply for emergency loans. FSA considers each emergency loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of production losses on the farm and the security and repayment ability of the operator.
Local FSA offices can provide affected farmers with further information.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Vilsack
Secretary

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
State of Emergency Proclamation
WHEREAS climate change is intensifying the impacts of droughts on our communities, environment and economy, and California must therefore improve drought resiliency and prepare to respond to more frequent, prolonged, and intense dry periods; and
WHEREAS much of the West is experiencing severe to exceptional drought and California is in a second consecutive year of dry conditions, resulting in drought or near-drought throughout many portions of the State; and WHEREAS these drought conditions can result in degraded water quality, fallowing of productive farmland, setbacks to vulnerable and rural communities through job losses and longer-lasting recoveries, significant impacts to tribal, commercial, and recreational salmon fisheries, constraints on access to traditional lifeways, loss of aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity, and ecosystem impacts; and
WHEREAS drought conditions vary across the State and some watersheds, including the Russian River and Klamath Basin, are extremely dry and are facing substantial water supply and ecosystem challenges; and
WHEREAS it is necessary to expeditiously mitigate the effects of the drought conditions within the Russian River Watershed, located within Mendocino and Sonoma counties, to ensure the protection of health, safety, and the environment; and
WHEREAS experience in the last drought has demonstrated the value of preparing earlier for potential sustained dry conditions, the need to improve our monitoring and forecasting capabilities, and many other lessons that are captured in the Administration1s Report to the Legislature on the 2012-2016 Drought; and
WHEREAS the State and its many partners have strengthened drought resilience since the last drought including state investments in water management systems, implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, establishment of the Safe and Affordable Fund for Equity and Resilience Program, development of the Administration's Water Resilience Portfolio, and continued water conservation by Californians whose current statewide urban water use is 16% lower than at the beginning of the last drought; and
WHEREAS state agencies have been actively responding to current drought conditions and preparing for the possibility of a third dry year including through convenings of the interagency drought team, which was established at my direction, to organize, focus, and track changing conditions, coordinate state agency responses, and work closely with partners across the State; and WHEREAS under the provisions of Government Code section 8558(b), I find that the conditions caused by the drought conditions, by reason of their magnitude, are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of any single local government and require the combined forces of a mutual aid region or regions to appropriately respond; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of Government Code section 8625(c), I find that local authority is inadequate to cope with the drought conditions; and WHEREAS to protect public health and safety, it is critical the State take certain immediate actions without undue delay to prepare for and mitigate the effects of, the drought conditions within the Russian River Watershed, and under the provisions of Government Code section 8571, I find that strict compliance with various statutes and regulations specified in this Proclamation would prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of the drought conditions of the Russian River Watershed, located within Mendocino and Sonoma counties.
NOW THEREFORE, I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California, in accordance with the authority vested in me by the State Constitution and statutes, including the California Emergency Services Act, and in particular, section 8625, HEREBY PROCLAIM A STATE OF EMERGENCY to exist in Mendocino and Sonoma counties due to drought conditions in the Russian River Watershed.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. To further the success of California's water conservation efforts and increase our drought preparedness, state agencies shall partner with local water districts and utilities to make all Californians aware of drought, and encourage actions to reduce water usage by promoting the Department of Water Resources' Save Our Water campaign
(https://saveourwater.com) and other water conservation programs.
2. To continue coordination with partners across the State for the potential of prolonged drought impacts, the Department of Water Resources, the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board), the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Department of Food and Agriculture shall work with regional and local governments, including groundwater sustainability agencies, to identify watersheds, communities, public water systems, and ecosystems that may require coordinated state and local actions to address issues stemming from continued dry conditions, to ensure that we can respond to water shortages and protect people, natural resources and economic activity.
3. To continue partnership and coordination with Californian Native American tribes, state agencies shall engage in consultation, collaboration, and communication with California Native American tribes to assist them in necessary preparation and response to drought conditions on tribal lands and potential impacts to cultural and traditional resources within ancestral lands.
4. To prioritize drought response and preparedness resources, the Department of Water Resources, the Water Board, the Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Department of Food and Agriculture, in consultation with the Department of Finance, shall:
a. Accelerate funding for water supply enhancement, water conservation, or species conservation projects.
b. Identify unspent funds that can be repurposed to enable projects to address drought impacts to people, ecosystems, and economic activities.
c. Recommend additional financial support for water resilience infrastructure projects and actions for potential inclusion in the upcoming May Revision.
5. To increase resilience of our water supplies during drought conditions, the Department of Water Resources shall:
a. Work with counties to encourage reporting of household water shortages, such as dry residential wells, on the website the Department maintains for that purpose, to enable tracking of drought impacts.
b. Work with counties, and groundwater sustainability agencies as appropriate, to help ensure that well drillers submit required groundwater well logs for newly constructed and deepened wells in a timely manner.
c. Work with agricultural water suppliers and agricultural water users to provide technical assistance, including implementation of efficient water management practices and use of technology such as the California Irrigation Management Information System.
d. Work with urban and agricultural water suppliers to encourage timely submittal by water districts and public posting of urban water management and water shortage contingency plans and
agricultural water management and drought plans.
e. Accelerate updating the land subsidence data it is providing to support implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater
Management Act.
6. To increase resilience of our water systems during drought conditions, the Water Board shall:
a. Use its authority, provide technical assistance, and where feasible provide financial assistance, to support regular reporting of drinking water supply well levels and reservoir water levels where the Water Board determines that there is risk of supply failure because of lowering groundwater levels or reservoir levels that may fall below public water system intakes.
b. Prioritize the permitting of public water systems that anticipate the need to activate additional supply wells where water quality is a concern and treatment installation needs to proceed to relieve a system's potential supply concerns.
c. Provide annual water demand data, information on water right priority, and other communications on water availability on its website.
d. Identify watersheds where current diversion data is insufficient to evaluate supply impacts caused by dry conditions, and take actions to ensure prompt submittal of missing data in those watersheds.
7. To address the acutely dry conditions in the Russian River Watershed, the Water Board shall consider:
a. Modifying requirements for reservoir releases or diversion limitations in that watershed to ensure adequate, minimal water supplies for critical purposes.
b. Adopting emergency regulations to curtail water diversions when water is not available at water rights holders' priority of right or to protect releases of stored water.
For purposes of carrying out this directive, Public Resources Code, Division 13 (commencing with section 21000) and regulations adopted pursuant to that Division are suspended in the counties of Mendocino and Sonoma to the extent necessary to address the impacts of the drought in the Russian River Watershed. The Water Board shall identify the projects eligible for the suspensions pursuant to this paragraph and maintain on its websites a list of the activities or approvals for which these provisions are suspended.
8. To ensure that equipment and services necessary for drought response in the Russian River Watershed can be procured quickly, the provisions of the Government Code and the Public Contract Code applicable to procurement, state contracts, and fleet assets, including, but not limited to, advertising and competitive bidding requirements, are hereby suspended to the extent necessary to address the effects of the drought in the Russian River Watershed, located within Mendocino and Sonoma counties. Approval of the Department of Finance is required prior to the execution of any contract entered into pursuant to this provision.

RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING A LOCAL EMERGENCY
BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
COUNTY OF TULARE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
IN THE MATTER OF A
LOCAL EMERGENCY DUE TO )
SEVERE DROUGHT CONDITIONS)
RESOLUTION NO. 2021-0290
WHEREAS, California's most recent drought spanning from approximately 2012 to 2018 required the proclamation of a Local Emergency by the County of Tulare from February 2014 to November 2019, as well as a Governor's State of Emergency and the combined resources of multiple local, state, and federal agencies, commercial entities, and non-profit organizations to mitigate; and
WHEREAS, over 3,000 failed or dry wells - including private domestic, community, and agricultural wells - were reported to Tulare County from 2014 to 2017 as a result of the prior drought, causing significant health, safety, and economic issues for Tulare County residents and businesses; and
WHEREAS, well over $100 million in emergency relief and permanent infrastructure projects were expended to mitigate the effects of the prior drought; and WHEREAS, a hydrological year ("water year") runs from October 1 to September 30 of the following year; and
WHEREAS, the current water year beginning October 1, 2020 is, to date, the third-driest on record, with potential to become the driest on record without significant additional precipitation which is unlikely to occur during the traditionally dry months; and WHEREAS, the United States Drought Monitor shows that 94.51 % of Tulare County is currently experiencing "Extreme Drought" (D3) conditions and the remaining 5.49% is in "Severe Drought" (D2) conditions, and the County of Tulare anticipates that these conditions will progress to "Exceptional Drought" (D4) conditions as occurred in the prior drought based on the current Southern Sierra snowpack measured at only 15% of historical average for April 1st, drastically reduced surface water allocations on the State Water Project and Central Valley Project, and correspondingly low water levels in local reservoirs ; and WHEREAS, surface water supply constraints create a demonstrable and unsustainable increase in demand for groundwater which is likely to cause additional dry wells for community water systems, private domestic wells, and agricultural wells, creating economic hardships and conditions of extreme peril to the health and safety of individuals within Tulare County requiring the combined forces of all levels of government to mitigate; and WHEREAS, California Government Code section 8630 empowers the Board of Supervisors to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency; and WHEREAS, Section 1-15-1005 of the Tulare County Ordinance Code defines "emergency" to include "the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within [Tulare] County caused by such conditions as air pollution, fire, flood , storm , epidemic, riot, earthquake, or other conditions, ... which conditions are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of [Tulare] County, requiring the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat"; and
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY PROCLAIMED that a local emergency now exists throughout said Tulare County due to drought which has created conditions of disaster and extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the County, and that such conditions are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel , equipment, and/or facilities of this County, thus requiring the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat; and IT IS FURTHER PROCLAIMED that this local emergency is proclaimed pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act, California Government Code §8550 et seq.; and IT IS REQUESTED that the Governor of the State of California find and proclaim Tulare County to be in a State of Emergency, and make available any and all material and financial support and resources necessary to combat the conditions of disaster, including but not limited to California Disaster Assistance Act funding for emergency protective measures and increased funding to relevant programs of the State Water Resources Control Board and Department of Water Resources ; and
IT IS FURTHER REQUESTED that the Governor waive and all regulations and statutes that may hinder response to this emergency; and
IT IS PROCLAIMED AND ORDERED that during the existence of said local emergency, the powers, functions, and duties of the emergency organization of Tulare County shall be those prescribed by State law, by ordinances and resolutions of Tulare County, and by the Tulare County Operational Area Emergency Operations Plan, as approved by the Board of Supervisors.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER/
CLERK, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-0002
TO ADOPT AN EMERGENCY REGULATION
TO SUPPLEMENT VOLUNTARY WATER CONSERVATION
WHEREAS:
1. On April 21, May 10, and July 8, 2021, Governor Newsom issued proclamations that a state of emergency exists in a total of 50 counties due to severe drought conditions and directed state agencies to take immediate action to preserve critical water supplies and mitigate the effects of drought and ensure the protection of health, safety, and the environment.
2. On October 19, 2021, Governor Newsom signed a proclamation extending the drought emergency statewide and further urging Californians to reduce their water use.
3. There is no guarantee that winter precipitation will alleviate the current drought conditions.
4. Many Californians have taken bold steps over the years to reduce water use; nevertheless, the severity of the current drought and uncertainty about Water Year 2022 require additional conservation actions from residents and businesses.
5. Water conservation is the easiest, most efficient, and most cost-effective way to quickly reduce water demand and extend supplies into the next year, providing flexibility for all California communities. Water saved is water available next year, giving water suppliers the flexibility to manage their systems efficiently. The more water that is conserved now, the less likely it is that a community will experience such dire circumstances or that water rationing will be required.
6. Most Californians use more water outdoors than indoors. In many areas, 50 percent or more of daily water use is for lawns and outdoor landscaping. Outdoor water use is generally discretionary, and many irrigated landscapes would not suffer greatly from receiving a decreased amount of water.
2 7. Public information and awareness are critical to achieving conservation goals, and the Save Our Water campaign (SaveOurWater.com), run jointly by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the Association of California Water Agencies, is an excellent resource for conservation information and messaging that is integral to effective drought response.
8. SaveWater.CA.Gov is an online tool designed to help save water in communities. This website lets anyone easily report water waste from their phone, tablet, or computer by simply selecting the type of water waste they see, typing in the address where the waste is occurring, and clicking send.
These reports are filed directly with the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board or Board) and relevant local water supplier.
9. Enforcement against water waste is a key tool in conservation programs.
When conservation becomes a social norm in a community, the need for enforcement is reduced or eliminated.
10. On October 19, 2021, the Governor suspended the environmental review required by the California Environmental Quality Act to allow State Water Board-adopted drought conservation emergency regulations and other actions to take place quickly to respond to emergency conditions.
11. Water Code section 1058.5 grants the State Water Board the authority to adopt emergency regulations in certain drought years in order to: “prevent the waste, unreasonable use, unreasonable method of use, or unreasonable method of diversion, of water, to promote water recycling or water conservation, to require curtailment of diversions when water is not available under the diverter’s priority of right, or in furtherance of any of the foregoing, to require reporting of diversion or use or the preparation of monitoring reports.”
12. On November 30, 2021, the State Water Board issued public notice that the State Water Board would consider the adoption of the regulation at the Board’s regularly scheduled January 4, 2022 public meeting, in accordance with applicable State laws and regulations. The State Water Board also distributed for public review and comment a Finding of Emergency that complies with State laws and regulations.
13. The emergency regulation sets a minimum standard that many communities are already doing more but not everyone is taking these lowcost, easy to implement actions that can save significant amounts of water during a drought emergency.
3 14. Disadvantaged communities may require assistance in increasing water conservation, and state and local agencies should look for opportunities to provide assistance in promoting water conservation, including but not limited to translation of regulation text and dissemination of water conservation announcements into languages spoken by at least 10 percent of the people who reside in a water supplier’s service area, such as in newspaper advertisements, bill inserts, website homepage, social media, and notices in public libraries.
15. The Board directs staff to consider the following in pursuing any enforcement of section 995, subdivision (b)(1)(A)-(F): before imposing monetary penalties, staff shall provide one or more warnings; monetary penalties must be based on an ability to pay determination, consider allowing a payment plan of at least 12 months, and shall not result in a tax lien; and Board enforcement shall not result in shutoff.
16. The Board encourages entities other than Board staff that consider any enforcement of this regulation to apply these same factors identified in resolved paragraph 15. Nothing in the regulation or in the enforcement provisions of the regulation precludes a local agency from exercising its authority to adopt more stringent conservation measures. Moreover, the Water Code does not impose a mandatory penalty for violations of the regulation adopted by this resolution, and local agencies retain their enforcement discretion in enforcing the regulation, to the extent authorized, and may develop their own progressive enforcement practices to encourage conservation.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. The State Water Board adopts California Code of Regulations, title 23, section 995, as appended to this resolution as an emergency regulation.
2. State Water Board staff will submit the regulation to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) for final approval.
3. If, during the approval process, State Water Board staff, the State Water Board, or OAL determines that minor corrections to the language of the regulation or supporting documentation are needed for clarity or consistency, the State Water Board Executive Director or designee may make such changes.
4 4. This regulation shall remain in effect for one year after filing with the Secretary of State unless the State Water Board determines that it is no longer necessary due to changed conditions or unless the State Water Board renews the regulation due to continued drought conditions, as described in Water Code section 1058.5.
5. The State Water Board directs State Water Board staff to work with the Department of Water Resources and the Save Our Water campaign to disseminate information regarding the emergency regulations.
6. Nothing in the regulation or in the enforcement provisions of the regulation precludes a local agency from exercising its authority to adopt more stringent conservation measures. Local agencies are encouraged to develop their own progressive enforcement practices to promote conservation.

5 ADOPTED TEXT OF EMERGENCY REGULATION
Title 23. Waters
Division 3. State Water Resources Control Board and Regional Water Quality Control Boards
Chapter 3.5. Urban Water Use Efficiency and Conservation Article 2. Prevention of Drought Wasteful Water Uses
§ 995. Wasteful and Unreasonable Water Uses.
(a) As used in this section:
(1) “Turf” has the same meaning as in section 491.
(2) “Incidental runoff” means unintended amounts (volume) of runoff, such as unintended, minimal overspray from sprinklers that escapes the area of intended use.
Water leaving an intended use area is not considered incidental if it is part of the facility or system design, if it is due to excessive application, if it is due to intentional overflow or application, or if it is due to negligence.
(b)(1) To prevent the unreasonable use of water and to promote water conservation, the use of water is prohibited as identified in this subdivision for the following actions:
(A) The application of potable water to outdoor landscapes in a manner that causes more than incidental runoff such that water flows onto adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, private and public walkways, roadways, parking lots, or structures;
(B) The use of a hose that dispenses water to wash a motor vehicle, except where the hose is fitted with a shut-off nozzle or device attached to it that causes it to cease dispensing water immediately when not in use; (C) The use of potable water for washing sidewalks, driveways, buildings, structures, patios, parking lots, or other hard surfaced areas, except in cases where health and safety are at risk;
(D) The use of potable water for street cleaning or construction site preparation purposes, unless no other method can be used or as needed to protect the health and safety of the public;
(E) The use of potable water for decorative fountains or the filling or topping-off of decorative lakes or ponds, with exceptions for those decorative fountains, lakes, or ponds that use pumps to recirculate water and only require refilling to replace evaporative losses;
(F) The application of water to irrigate turf and ornamental landscapes during and within 48 hours after measurable rainfall of at least one fourth of one inch of rain.
In determining whether measurable rainfall of at least fourth of one inch of rain occurred in a given area, enforcement may be based on records of the National Weather Service, the closest CIMIS station to the parcel, or any other reliable source of rainfall data available to the entity undertaking enforcement of this subdivision; and
(G) The use of potable water for irrigation of ornamental turf on public street medians.
6 (2) Notwithstanding subdivision (b)(1), the use of water is not prohibited by this section to the extent necessary to address an immediate health and safety need. This may include, but is not limited to, the use of potable water in a fountain or water feature when required to be potable because human contact is expected to occur. (c)(1) To prevent the unreasonable use of water and to promote water conservation, any homeowners’ association or community service organization or similar entity is prohibited from:
(A) Taking or threatening to take any action to enforce any provision of the governing documents or architectural or landscaping guidelines or policies of a common interest development where that provision is void or unenforceable under section 4735, subdivisions (a) and (b) of the Civil Code; (B) Imposing or threatening to impose a fine, assessment, or other monetary penalty against any owner of a separate interest for reducing or eliminating the watering of vegetation or lawns during a declared drought emergency, as described in section 4735, subdivision (c) of the Civil Code; or (C) Requiring an owner of a separate interest upon which water-efficient landscaping measures have been installed in response to a declared drought emergency, as described in section 4735, subdivisions (c) and (d) of the Civil Code, to reverse or remove the water-efficient landscaping measures upon the conclusion of the state of emergency.
(2) As used in this subdivision:
(A) “Architectural or landscaping guidelines or policies” includes any formal or informal rules other than the governing documents of a common interest development.
(B) “Homeowners’ association” means an “association” as defined in section 4080 of the Civil Code.
(C) “Common interest development” has the same meaning as in section 4100 of the Civil Code.
(D) “Community service organization or similar entity” has the same meaning as in section 4110 of the Civil Code.
(E) “Governing documents” has the same meaning as in section 4150 of the Civil Code.
(F) “Separate interest” has the same meaning as in section 4185 of the Civil Code.
(3) If a disciplinary proceeding or other proceeding to enforce a rule in violation of subdivision (c)(1) is initiated, each day the proceeding remains pending shall constitute a separate violation of this regulation.
(d) To prevent the unreasonable use of water and to promote water conservation, any city, county, or city and county is prohibited from imposing a fine under any local maintenance ordinance or other relevant ordinance as prohibited by section 8627.7 of the Government Code.
7 (e) The taking of any action prohibited in subdivision (b), (c) or (d) is an infraction punishable by a fine of up to five hundred dollars ($500) for each day in which the violation occurs. The fine for the infraction is in addition to, and does not supersede or limit, any other remedies, civil or criminal.
(f) A decision or order issued under this section by the Board or an officer or employee of the Board is subject to reconsideration under article 2 (commencing with section 1122) of chapter 4 of part 1 of division 2 of the Water Code.
