AGENDA ITEM: 5. Bridge Monitoring
FROM: Susan Scarlett
RE: Bridge Monitoring
BACKGROUND:
Currently the bridge is being monitored by hand by City Staff. Staff feels that a more consistent method of monitoring would be essential. Martin McIlroy from MGE spoke to the Council at the September 11, 2024 meeting regarding the status of the bridge and different monitoring options.
City staff has been meeting with Mr. McIlroy and other consultants on this issue. Attached is the quote recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approving the quote, installation which is estimated at $15,000 and a "contingency" with a not to exceed of $65,000 total.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fiscal impact will be the not to exceed. Funds from the Road Maintenance and Repair Act are able to be used this year for the bridge and could offset most of this cost if no other funding is secured.

1 MEETING DATE: October 9, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: 6. Intermountain Disposal - Rate Increase
FROM: Tom Valentino, Solid Waste consultant
RE: 2025 Refuse Collection Rate Increase
BACKGROUND:
BACKGROUND Under the revised and amended franchise agreement between the City of Portola and Intermountain Disposal Company, the company is entitled to an annual rate adjustment for changes in the cost of doing business, consistent with Section 5.3 of the agreement.
The adjustment for increases of the cost of doing business is based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Energy Information Administration data for consumer indices and fuel price changes over a one-year period (August 2023 to August 2024). Specifically, the two federal agency statistics used to calculate the annual increase are:
Ø Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for All West Urban Consumers, NonSeasonally Adjusted; and Ø Energy Information Administration California No. 2 Diesel Retail Prices.
Staff calculated the inflation and diesel fuel increases using August 2023 and August 2024 federal data and the calculation procedure stated in section 5.3 of the franchise agreement.
The combined CPI/Diesel Fuel rate increase is 0.61%. Intermountain Disposal’s accounting firm VT Accounting Associates separately calculated the CPI and Fuel increases and agreed with our calculation.
Transfer Station Fee Increases
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors approved fee increases at the Delleker Transfer Station of 8.91% (effective July 5, 2022) and 6.09% (effective July 1, 2024). IMD seeks to increase refuse collection rates for the transfer station increases, consistent with section 5.5 of the franchise agreement – Pass-Through Costs.
To determine the percentage of the two transfer station increases to pass-through to the refuse collection rates, VT Accounting Associates provided IMD financial information for 2023.
VT states IMD had total revenue of $627,927 and disposal fees at the transfer station of $150,777 in 2023. Disposal fees ($150,777) as a percentage of revenue ($627,927) is 24.0 percent.
To calculate the transfer station fee increases on the 2025 refuse collection rates, we sum the two fee increases and multiply the sum by 24.0%. The result is a 3.60% increase for trash disposal services, effective 2025.
Proposed 2025 refuse collection rate sheets and the federal data sheets are attached. 2 RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council review the proposed 2025 refuse collection rates and direct staff to commence the Proposition 218 process to approve the 2025 rates. Following written notification of the proposed 2025 rates to affected residents and businesses in Portola, there is a 45-day public comment period. Staff anticipates a public hearing on the 2025 rates at a city council meeting on December 11, 2024

Notes: Conventional area is any area that does not require the sale of reformulated gasoline. All types of finished motor gasoline may be sold in this area. RFG area is an ozone nonattainment area designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which requires the use of reformulated gasoline. We stopped publishing Low Sulfur On-Highway Diesel (LSD) prices at the U.S. level on December 8, 2008, because fewer stations were selling LSD as a result of EPA diesel fuel regulations. We continued to collect LSD prices from retail outlets and included them in the Diesel Average All Types price until July 26, 2010, when no more outlets reported LSD sales.
Beginning July 26, 2010, publication of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) price became fully represented by the Diesel Average All Types price. As of December 1, 2010 (September 1, 2006 in California), any on-highway diesel fuel sold is ULSD as mandated by EPA on-highway diesel fuel regulations. We did not collect weekly retail motor gasoline data between December 10, 1990, and January 14, 1991. Monthly and annual averages are simple averages of the weekly data. For months and years with incomplete weekly data series, the monthly and/or annual averages are not available. On May 14, 2018, we implemented statistical methodology changes to improve the accuracy of the weekly retail gasoline price estimates. As a result of these statistical methodology changes, the published retail gasoline estimates for May 14, 2018, are not directly comparable to those published for May 7, 2018. On June 13, 2023, we implemented statistical methodology changes to improve the accuracy of the weekly retail on-highway diesel fuel price estimates. As a result of these statistical methodology changes, the published retail on-highway diesel fuel prices for June 13, 2022 are not directly comparable to those published for June 6, 2022.

City of Portola
7 th Cycle Housing Element
The Portola Highlands Affordable Housing Master Plan includes the following:
• Deed restrictions shall be placed for a minimum of thirty years. • Due to the estimated number of years required to achieve project build-out the MP is to be revised to include some mechanism for re-considering the allocation of housing type over time so as to allow for some flexibility for both the developer and the City to address needs as they may change over time. This mechanism will require city approval and adoption at a publicly noticed hearing. • A 1 to 1 ratio for low vs. moderate income units is required and that a 55 to 45 ratio be applied to for sale units vs. rental units based on census bureau statistics.
Although no very-low or extremely-low are required of this project, the City will support any developer of affordable housing within the Portola Highlands project with assistance in their application for affordable housing funds which will result in the development of very-low and extremely-low units on-site. This will be made a policy of this Housing Element. In addition, all sites within the project area that are zoned high density will be eligible for re-zoning to a potentialhave a maximum density of 15 units per acre, subject to environmental review.
There is an approved Development Agreement (DA) on the project site, however there has been no construction activity since it was approved in 2007. In accordance with the DA, the City Council may conduct a review of the DA and consider canceling and terminating it for inactivity.
The Portola 192 area has an underlying zoning designation of Low Density Residential and Commercial Mixed Use. With existing project approvals, there is no project does not include a requirement for affordable housing to be provided. However, it is anticipated possible that the multi-family portion of the project (72 units) will be built as affordable housing. As included in the previously-submitted AHSC Application, 15 units will would be restricted to 30% AMI, 26 units to 50% AMI, and 30 units to 60% AMI, plus the manager’s unit.

AGENDA ITEM: 8. Plumas Unified School District Impact Fee FROM: Susan Scarlett
RE: Plumas Unified School District impact fee update
BACKGROUND:
On September 23, 2024 Tracey Ferguson, Plumas County Director of Planning contacted the city regarding a resolution that was to go into affect on November 10th imposing an impact fee for the School District.
The fee study that was done for the District used Portola 192 and the Highlands Project as the basis for the Level 1 fee of $5.17 per square foot. The City was never contacted for information about these development agreements.
The Portola 192 development agreement terms began in 2003.
The Highlands has had no activity or contact with the City that staff knows of since 2019. That development agreement began in 2007 which means no activity for 17 years.
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss the two development agreements and the options going forward. 1 MEETING DATE: October 9, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: 9. Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
FROM: Karen Downs
RE: Multi-jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), related to Local Mitigation Plans, “a local jurisdiction must review and revise its plan to reflect changes in development, progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities, and resubmit it for approval within 5 years in order to continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding” (44 CFR Section 201.6(d)(3)).
On October 14, 2020, the City of Portola City Council adopted the City of Portola Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Update. The LHMP was then approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is effective for 5 years following approval, through November 30, 2025.
Jurisdictions may participate in a multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan (MJHMP), prepared for multiple jurisdictions instead of a single jurisdiction. The purpose of the MJHMP is to guide multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation planning and resources to better protect the people and property of the County from the effects of natural hazard events, demonstrating the community’s commitment to reducing risks from hazards and serving as a tool to help decision makers direct and support local mitigation projects and activities in the County, City, and partner special districts.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Status of the Plumas County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan In 2023, Plumas County developed a grant application package for funds to prepare a MultiJurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP). During the application preparation process, Tracey Ferguson, Plumas County Planning Director reached out to then-City Manager Jon Kennedy and then-Mayor Bill Powers to ask if the City wanted to participate in the Plumas County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update.
One of the requirements for the City to participate in the grant was to submit a Letter of Intent. Mayor Powers sent a Letter of Intent to Plumas County, indicating that the City of Portola would participate in the MJHMP. * Please note that the Letter of Intent was not considered by the City Council at a City Council meeting. 2 On August 4, 2023, Plumas County submitted the grant application to California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to prepare the MJHMP with seven Jurisdictions (Plumas County, City of Portola, Grizzly Lake Community Services District, Indian Valley Community Services District, Plumas-Eureka Community Services District, Chester Public Utility District, and Feather River Resource Conservation District).
Since the application submittal, the County has been approved to receive funding from Cal OES for the Prepare CA Match Program and for the MJHMP through FEMA.
Budget:
$266,530 Cal OES/FEMA HMGP Grant (Federal Share)
$83,300 Cal OES Prepare CA Match Program (State Match)
$349,830 TOTAL
Current Status
On August 21, 2024, Plumas County released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit a consult to assist with the preparation of the MJHMP. The RFP deadline was September 23, 2024.
Notification of the preferred consultant is anticipated to be no later than October 15, 2024, with contract execution by the County Board of Supervisors in early November 2024. The project schedule is anticipated to run between November 2024 and June 2026, with 3 months of grant closeout thereafter.
City of Portola LHMP
Portola’s LHMP is effective through November 30, 2025; however, the MJHMP is not expected to be adopted until June 2026. There is no process where the City’s LHMP can be extended until the MJHMP is adopted. To continue to be eligible for mitigation project grant funding, the City must have an adopted/current Hazard Mitigation Plan.
If the City decides to participate in the MJHMP, FEMA suggested a “light update” to be adopted by November 30, 2025. The update will be related to monitoring, evaluating, and updating to FEMA’s recently-updated policies, while fully participating in the MJHMP process. It is assumed that the FEMA reviewer of the “light update” will understand that the City is a participant in the upcoming MJHMP, and may apply a different review standard.
Alternatively, the City may choose to not participate in the MJHMP and develop a complete update of the LHMP.
Analysis
To remain in compliance, the City is required to have an updated HMP by November 30, 2025.
The City may either complete a “light update” and participate in the Plumas County MJHMP or preparing a complete update of the LHMP.
Benefits of participating in the MJHMP:
· Hazards/disasters are regional and impacts are not bounded by City limits. The MJHMP will offer a regional approach to minimizing the impact of hazards/disasters. · Various agencies can join together to better identify issues and provide solutions. 3 · Grant funding is available for preparation of the MJHMP and the City would be a partner in that funding.
Please note that the City will still have to prepare the “light update” for FEMA approval.
Additionally, the City will be tied to the MJHMP timeline going forward. If a future update of the MJHMP is not approved by FEMA prior to its expiration, the City will be out of compliance unless it prepared its own LHMP.
Benefits of preparing a complete update of the LHMP:
· City has the autonomy to conduct its own planning process. · City has the ability to guide the timeline.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council formalize its intent to participate in the Plumas County MJHMP, and direct staff to begin preparation of the “light update”.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated cost for the Light update is $15,000. Prior Local Hazard Mitigation Plan for the City was approximately $140,000
