CEREMONIAL MATTERS
Proclamation in Recognition of The Great American Smokeout November 17, 2022 Mayor Garnes read the proclamation proclaiming November 17, 2022 as the Great American Smokeout encouraging all tobacco users to join the Great American Smokeout on November 17, 2022 and quit tobacco for at least one day. Jay McCubbrey, PhD, Project Director of Tobacco-Free North Coast was present to receive the proclamation.
Mr. McCubbrey thanked the City Council for the support and reminded everyone of the various resources available to help people stop smoking.
Josh, a member of the Youth Coalition was present via Zoom to address the Council and said that nicotine is incredibly addictive and noted that tobacco companies' market flavored tobacco products that make smoking and vaping electronic cigarettes attractive to youth which is very harmful and difficult to quit.
Mayor Garnes thanked them for attending and accepting the proclamation.
PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS
Mayor Garnes called for public comment on non-agenda items.
Jay McCubbrey addressed the Council and said that he lives in Arcata and works for a project called "Tobacco-Free North Coast" funded by the California Department of Public Health. He said that he is also a member of a community coalition called "All Eyes for Substance Abuse Prevention." He said that they recently gave a presentation to the County Board of Supervisors on Tobacco Retail Licensing. He said that the Great -2-
NOVEMBER 15, 2022 MINUTES
American Smokeout is all about helping people quit, but tobacco retail licensing is a proven method for reducing youth access to these dangerous and addictive tobacco vaping products.
The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to proceed with creating a policy for tobacco retail licensing but one thing they asked them to do, was to reach out to other communities and provide a similar presentation so everyone can be on the same page and consider these regulations in tandem. He requested Tobacco Retail Licensing be placed on a subsequent agenda for a presentation to the City Council.
Consensus of the Council was for the City Manager to coordinate a date with Mr.
McCubbrey to come and give a presentation to the City Council.
CONSENT CALENDAR
Mayor Garnes asked if any councilmember, staff or member of the public would like to remove any item from the consent calendar for separate discussion. No items were removed.

REPORTS/STAFF COMMUNICATIONS
City Manager/Staff Update
City Manager Knopp provided a staff update on recent activities and events and said that with the year coming to a close there are some matters of business to complete however; unless something of urgency comes up before then, the December 20, 2022 regular City Council meeting will be cancelled.
- 3-
NOVEMBER 15, 2022 MINUTES
He announced that there would be a meeting of the Nuisance Advisory Committee tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. followed by a Traffic Committee meeting on Thursday at 3:00 p.m.
He added that Mayor Garnes and Community Development Director Caldwell attended the November 1, 2022 Board of Supervisors meeting where PG&E presented their latest information on the electrical capacity issues in the region. The news has improved and staff will continue to work with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to make sure PG&E honors the timeline commitments given for providing power. He thanked Mayor Garnes and Community Development Director Caldwell for attending the meeting.
Councilmember Carter commented on the wastewater department update regarding replacement of 130 feet of sewer line main and asked if that is related to the Painter St.
Upsizing Project.
Wastewater Superintendent Taylor explained that it is and that they located a restriction in the line and opened it up to allow more hydraulic flow. This was the original line that fed the contact basin which was the City's main source of treatment so they were able to eliminate a section of that pipe and increase the slope so hopefully the City will fare better during a significant storm event. At this point it is basically a temporary fix to a bigger issue so the City is still continuing to move forward on the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES).
Councilmember Wilson announced that he would not be attending Thursday's Traffic Committee meeting as he would be attending a meeting of the Redwood Coast Energy Authority (RCEA). He noted that it was moved up a week due to the Thanksgiving holiday and would be the same in December due to the Christmas holiday.
He also commented on PG&E's planned power outage on November 4, 2022 which was delayed due to rain. He said that PG&E notified some, but not all residents and businesses of the planned outage but did not notify anyone about the delay. He said that CC Market actually rented a generator in preparation of the outage which was unnecessary. He asked if the City could post these types of updates on the City website to let residents know about these planned outages including updates.
City Manager Knopp said that the new City website has a section on "Latest News" which could be utilized for that purpose and Nixle is another method of sending out notifications to the community.
Mayor Garnes asked if staff could encourage PG&E to communicate the information to the City Manager Knopp said that staff could encourage residents to contact PG&E to verify whether their address is going to impacted or not.

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 MINUTES
Councilmember Woodall asked Chief Allen if the police department had met with kids at the school yet.
Chief Allen said that they went to the school yesterday and talked to kids about the risks associated with vaping which went very well.
Mayor Garnes referred to the Board of Supervisors meeting where PG&E representatives committed to communicating better but was uncertain whether it applied just to new services and expressed the need for them to communicate better in general.
SPECIAL CALL ITEMS/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS/PUBLIC HEARINGS
Staff Presentation Regarding Possible Address Change Program Community Development Director Caldwell provided a staff report and said that the need to reassign addresses to get them in sequential order was brought up years ago. The City initiated a program but there were a number of residents who opposed the idea so the Council chose to abandon the project at that time.
He noted that the Fire Department has expressed concern regarding the need to have addresses in sequential order due to difficulty for emergency responders to find properties that are numbered out of sequential order.
He pointed out that this is a life-safety issue, not only for the Fire Department and other emergency responders but for the City as well.
He said that staff believes that the "Avenues" neighborhood likely contains the bulk of the necessary changes and provided 5 pages of assessor parcel maps representing 245 parcels with approximately 45 parcels having addresses out of sequential order, with some parcels having multiple addresses due to multiple units on one parcel.
He reviewed each recommended address change page by page and noted that Fire Chief Wilson was present and supportive of the recommended changes.
He commented that in addition to being inconvenient, there are some minor costs associated with owners and renters changing their addresses. As such, staff recommended the City purchase the necessary numbers for the residents whose addresses need to be changed. The approximate cost for the "Avenues" neighborhood house numbers is $235.00. He noted that there is no charge from DMV for people to change the address on their California Driver License.
Councilmember Carter asked what happens to the title of a property when the address is changed.
Community Development Director Caldwell explained that titles to parcels should always be referenced by assessor parcel number (APN) and legal description; never by address. -5-
NOVEMBER 15, 2022 MINUTES
Councilmember Carter asked if there would be a public hearing to allow residents to comment on the plan.
City Manager Knopp indicated that there would be a public hearing at a subsequent meeting, including putting a notice in a City newsletter to let people know that it would be coming up for disucssion.
Councilmember Carter suggested the Fire Chief and/or other first responders be invited to attend the public hearing and explain from their perspective why this needs to happen.
Councilmember Wilson said that he supported the idea and said that prior to putting in the new freeway, N. Pacific Ave. crossed over the freeway to Pacific Ave. making the addresses on North Pacific difficult for first responders to locate. He said that he hopes the residents will be supportive of the plan and recommended the City cover the entire cost ($235.00) for replacing the house numbers.
Community Development Director Caldwell suggested staff notify the affected property owners and renters directly and schedule a public hearing in January to hear citizens' concerns.
Councilmember Woodall asked how many of the affected residences are rentals.
Community Development Director Caldwell estimated a total of 60 structures within the 45 parcels including approximately 20 rental units.
Councilmember Woodall asked if residences are required to have house numbers.
Community Development Director Caldwell said that residences are required to have an address on the front of the house with numbers at least 4 inches high and preferable with a contrasting color.
Councilmember Woodall asked how long the post office forwards mail to new addresses.
Staff's understanding was that the mail would be forwarded for 6 months.
Councilmember Wilson expressed problems with the local post office not wanting to deliver mail to new addresses and requested staff keep the Council apprised of the issues, if any.
Community Development Director Caldwell said for this program to work, there needs to be cooperation by the local post office.
Mayor Garnes said that she would like to see this be as seamless as possible and suggested there be one contact person at the City to communicate with the post office.
She noted that changing a person's address is not as easy as it sounds and expressed -6-
NOVEMBER 15, 2022 MINUTES
concern that elderly residents may need help with the address changes. The City will need to figure out a way to help those people. Staff agreed.
Chief Wilson suggested the involvement of the Community Resource Center.
Councilmember Wilson suggested a list of resources be provided not only in the City Newsletter, but in the individual notices to the property owners and renters.
Fire Chief Wilson thanked the City for addressing the issue and said in addition to the "Avenues" there are other areas in the City that need to be looked at such as Riverside Dr.
He added that getting addresses in sequential order is highly important to the fire department, especially because there are a lot of new fire department members that are not as familiar with addresses as some of the veteran fire department members.
Motion was made by Woodall/Carter to direct staff to proceed with address changes with the following notations including noticing in the City newsletter, notices sent to those affected property owners and renters and to schedule a public hearing at an appropriate time for citizen input and final City Council approval. In addition, that the post office be involved in the process and that the Council be notified of any problems regarding the post office, and that there is a plan established for the elderly and those having difficulty managing the address change, with the City paying for the new house numbers estimated at $245.00. Motion carried 4-0.
ORDINANCES/SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS/PUBLIC HEARINGS
Introduction and First Reading (by title only) of Ordinance No. 396-2022 Amending Chapter 15.05 "Construction Codes" Section 15.05.020 of the Rio Dell Municipal Code (RDMC)
Community Development Director Caldwell provided a staff report and said that every three years, the Calitornia Building Standards Commission (CBSC) adopts a compilation of building regulations referred to as the California Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24). Inclusive in these regulations are the California Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Existing Buildings, Fire, Energy, Residential Building, Historical Building, and Green Building Codes.
He explained that the new codes become effective on January 1, 2023 regardless if the new codes have been adopted by the City.
Staff recommended the introduction of Ordinance 396-2022 amending Section 15.05.020 "Building Codes" of the Rio Dell Municipal Code to reference the 2022 California Building Codes and the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code and to consider consideration, approval and adoption of the proposed Ordinance to the meeting of December 6, 2022 for the second reading and adoption.

Motion carried 4-0.
COUNCIL REPORTS/COMMUNICATIONS
Councilmember Wilson reported that he would be attending the Redwood Coast Energy Authority meeting on Thursday and reported on last week's Humboldt Waste Management Authority (HWMA) meeting. He said that City Manager Knopp also attended the meeting and the HWMA Board of Directors voted unanimously to keep the Eureka Recycling Center closed until alterations are made to prepare the facility for processing organic waste. He pointed out that one year of the City's five-year extension has already lapsed and said that the former director of HWMA failed to communicate to the board the urgency to comply with SB 1383. He added that the City will need to re-negotiate its franchise agreement with Recology Eel River related to implementation of SB 1383 organic waste.
Councilmember Carter announced the date of December 3rd for the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Event and said that Nick Angeloff and the Chamber of Commerce would be putting up lights and decorations this weekend and next. She welcomed any volunteers to come out and help and if not, to be on lookout for workers to make sure they stay safe.
Councilmember Woodall announced that she would be attending an HCAOG meeting on Thursday in Mayor Pro Tem Johnson's absence and said that the newly installed kiosks downtown look great. She commended the public works crew for painting the red curbs and wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

That the City Council review the updated Master Fee Schedule, Exhibit A, and the cost analysis of services provided by the Rio Dell Police Department, Exhibit B, 1-3.

The cost analysis reflects each step involved in services including the employee's time, burden rate and other costs associated between the dates of 11/1/2021-11/1/2022. The removal of certain fees from the Master Fee Schedule is due to no longer providing those services. The increase in service fees would be to recover costs associated with the services provided.

During the period of November 9 to November 29, 2022, there were seventeen calls for service related to animal control issues. Six dogs and a puppy were transported to Miranda's Rescue. Four of these dogs were arrested by CSO Mary Clark, Chief Greg Allen, and Fortuna Police Department CSO Amy Carrington when they were in a neighboring yard and preventing that resident to leave. It took considerable effort and catch poles to take all of the animals into custody. It is believed that all four dogs have been returned to their humans after bail was posted to the City in the amount of $580 and to Miranda's Rescue in the amount of $1200.
CSO Mark Clark will be submitting a resolution to increase fees for animal control. The city has a contract to pay Miranda's a flat rate of $1900 per month. The month of November 2022, 7 animals were taken to Mirandas at a cost of $271 per animal.
Corporal Crystal Landry took a much deserved, two-week vacation.
Increased patrols have been instituted at the Post Office due to three cases of vandalism and attempted burglary during the night time hours.
On November 9, 2022, Chief Allen responded to a residence that has had frequent visits by the Police Department in the past. As Chief Allen approached the house, he was met outside by the mother of her three young women who also live there. The mother had blood on her nose and a black eye. She told Chief Allen that her daughter had punched her when she tried to prevent the daughter from fighting with her older sister. Chief Allen was able to convince the middle daughter to hand her baby to her grandmother. She was then taken into custody without further issue. She was transported to Juvenile Hall, but after processing, she was returned to Rio Dell by the Probation Department.
The Rio Dell Police Department in collaboration with the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office Neighborhood Watch Coordinator is currently establishing several NHW programs in Rio Dell. The first meeting will be December 8th 2022.
The Rio Dell Police Department is also in the process of establishing a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). These teams are needed if a major disaster occurs and first responders may not be able to respond to every call immediately. Training of members will include topics such as disaster preparedness, earthquake preparation, hazardous materials, medical operations and triage, and light search and rescue. We will be seeking volunteers in the near future for this team.

TO: Rio Dell City Council
FROM: Kyle Knopp, City Manager
SUBJECT: Discussion and Possible Action on the Monument Road Slip Out Including Update on Possible Costs to the City of Rio Dell
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
Receive a presentation from staff.
Direct staff to continue working with the County and affirm the City's commitment to a 50/50 cost split for the local share of the project costs.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
During the winter storm events of February 2017, a slip out developed on Monument Road along the boundary of the City of Rio Dell and unincorporated County. The storm events were declared federal and state disasters. The damage is estimated to span 260 feet in total, of which approximately half is within the City. It was advised that one agency take the lead on this issue.
The City and County agreed the project would best be handled by the County.
There have been a series of delays on the repair of this section of roadway. The delays are due to FEMA's resistance to the engineered designs, costs and recommendations for the project. This back and forth is best described in the attachments to this agenda item. However, on November oth the County did receive correspondence back from CalOES that upon final appeal, the Monument repair had been allocated $2,359,983. This amount is well below the original request of $3,111,717 to perform the Soldier Pile Wall solution. At this time, there is no other viable option to repair the slip out.
This creates a possible local cost share scenario as follows:
FEMA underfunding: $751,734
Local share of approved amount (6.25%): $147,498
Total possible local responsibility: $899,232
Total possible Rio Dell share (50%): $449,616 +/-
-29-
While there are some possible options to reduce the cost of the project or receive additional assistance trom the state, statt wants to make sure the Council is aware of the potential cost exposure to the City for this repair. It is expected that the City will receive agreement language in the near future from the County to bind the 50/50 cost share arrangement between the two parties. The County also intends to put the project out to bid the first quarter of 2023 for possible completion by the end of that year.
Staff is recommending continuing forward with the project, including accepting the possible costs associated with repair. While the costs are significantly higher than originally estimated, the City has adequate reserves to cover this cost. Staff will continue to work with the County to limit this cost exposure.
Mr. Tony Seghetti, an engineer for the County, will be available to present and answer questions.

Dear Mr. Mattson:
On November 4, 2022, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) received the enclosed letter dated November 2, 2022, from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The letter informs the Subrecipient that FEMA has partially approved the second appeal of Project Worksheet (PW) 1276 for the amount of $2,359,983.00.
FEMA has partially approved this second appeal. FEMA is denying the Change in Scope of Work (SOW) request from a Mechanically Stabilized Embankment (MSE) to a solder pile wall. However, FEMA determined the repair to the integral ground is eligible. Therefore, FEMA has increased the approved amount of funding for the eligible work for a MSE wall. Accordingly, FEMA has prepared a version to PW 1276 for $2,359,983.00. If the Subrecipient intends to install a soldier pile wall instead, it may request an Improved Project. Please refer to FEMA's enclosed letter for additional information.
A copy of the version for PW 1276 will be forwarded to the Subrecipient under separate cover by Cal OES' Financial Processing Unit (FPU). Requests for payment are also processed through FPU.

Re: Second Appeal - Humboldt County, PA ID: 023-99023-00, FEMA-4308-DR-CA, Project Worksheet (PW) 1276 - Landslides and Slopes Stabilization, Change in Scope of Work, Improved Project
Dear Mr. Ghilarducci:
This is in response to your letter dated May 31, 2022, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of Humboldt County (Applicant). The Applicant is appealing the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency's denial of funding in the amount of $3,111,717.00 for a scope of work change request from a Mechanically Stabilized Embankment (MSE) to a soldier pile wall on an embankment repair:
As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined the Applicant has demonstrated that the work to repair the integral ground is eligible. FEMA is not approving a change in scope of work, but reviewed the costs associated with installing a MSE wall estimate and increased the approved amount of funding to $2,359,983.00. If the Applicant intends to install a soldier pile wall, it can request an Improved Project with the costs capped at the MSE wall estimate. Therefore, this appeal is partially granted. By copy of this letter, I am requesting the Regional Administrator to take appropriate action to implement this determination.
Please inform the Applicant of my decision. This determination is the final decision on this matter pursuant to 44 C.F.R. § 206.206, Appeals.

SECOND APPEAL ANALYSIS
Humboldt (County), PAID 023-99023-00
FEMA-4308-DR-CA, Project Worksheet 1275
Landslide and Slopes Stabilization, Change in Scope of Work, Improved Project Background
During the incident period, February 1-23, 2017, a severe winter storm caused heavy flooding and landslides throughout California.! Humboldt County (Applicant) claimed damage to its roadway surface and subsurface as well as an outbound shoulder embankment failure along 225 linear feet of Monument Road (Facility). FEMA prepared Project Worksheet (PW) 1276 to capture the damages and reimburse costs related to repairing the roadway and the installation of a Mechanically Stabilized Embankment (MSE) wall which totaled $467,473.00.
The Applicant submitted a Scope of Work (SOW) change request in a letter dated March 3, 2021, to the California Office of Emergency Service (Recipient). In the request, the Applicant cited its consultant's geotechnical report which recommended a change from an MSE wall to a soldier pile wall. The Applicant noted the reason for this change was that the solider pile wall would result in a smaller footprint, single lane closure, lower environmental impact, and limited Right-of-Way acquisition. The cost for the new SOW, including contractor design costs, totaled $3,111,717.00.
In a letter dated August 10, 2021, FEMA denied the SOW change request, stating it included work that went beyond the damaged Facility's predisaster design. Furthermore, FEMA determined that the site had preexisting issues of slope instability, and as such, stabilizing the integral ground was the responsibility of the Applicant.
First Appeal
The Applicant appealed, in letter dated September 10, 2021, claiming the amount at issue as $2,333,976.00. The Applicant stated stating that the soldier pile wall does not change the predisaster design (size and capacity) of the Facility and FEMA had approved similar SOW changes in past disasters based on geotechnical report recommendations. Furthermore, the Applicant, citing the geotechnical report prepared by its contractor, Crawford and Associates (Contractor), asserted that the site had no history of slope instability and that FEMA misidentified prior disaster damage as a history of site instability? The Recipient forwarded the appeal to FEMA, in a letter dated October 29, 2021, in support of the Applicant's position.
FEMA's Region IX Regional Administrator denied the Applicant's first appeal in a letter dated February 4, 2022.3 FEMA determined that the site had a history of instability prior to the disaster, citing the geotechnical report which noted saturation and a failed wood pile wall.
Consequently, it stated the stabilization of the integral ground was the responsibility of the ' The President issued the major disaster declaration, FEMA-4308-DR-CA, on April 1, 2017. 2 The Applicant cites FEMA-1628-DR-CA as the cause of the instability found by FEMA in Google Earth Images; Assistance Officer, Cal. Governor's Off. of Emergency Serv. (Cal OES), at 2 (Sept. 10, 2021). 3 FEMA clarified in the appeal response that the actual amount at issue is the difference of the Soldier Pile Wall and the approved MSE wall cost. $2,333,976.00 - $467,473.00 = $1,869,503.00 Second Appeal Analysis, FEMA-4308-DR-CA, PA ID 023-99023-00 Page 1 of 4 Humboldt (County), PW 1276

Applicant. Additionally, as the SOW change request for a soldier pile wall went beyond the approved SOW, FEMA stated it would be considered an Improved Project.
Second Appeal
The Applicant filed a second appeal in a letter dated April 13, 2022, requesting $3,111,717.00 for the SOW change request to from an ME to a soldier pile wall. The Applicant states that FEMA misinterpreted statements in the geotechnical report and provided a letter from its Contractor clarifying that the report stated that the site instability was directly caused by the event. Additionally, the Applicant provided an updated MSE wall estimate for review. The Applicant states that the soldier pile repair method is the more suitable method of repair and reiterates that a similar SOW change request had been approved in prior disasters.4 The Recipient forwarded the Applicant's second appeal in a letter dated May 31, 2022, in support of the Applicant's position. The Recipient clarified the amount in dispute is $1,869,503.00, the additional cost for the soldier pile wall not including the already approved $473,473.00.5 The Recipient also stated that the cost for the MSE wall equaled $2,359,983.00, whereas the cost for the soldier pile wall equaled $2,251,183.50. Therefore, the difference between the two equaled $108,799.50 and the soldier pile wall was the more cost-effective option.® Discussion
Landslide and Slopes Stabilization
PEMA may provide Public Assistance (PA) funding to a local government for the repair of a public facility damaged by a major disaster.? To be eligible, work must be required as a direct result of the declared incident. If an eligible facility is located on a slope and is damaged as a result of a landslide or slope instability triggered by the declared incident, FEMA determines the stability of the slope that supports the facility before it approves PA funding to restore the facility? Restoration of the integral ground that supports the facility may also be eligible.'° If the site is unstable and there is no evidence of predisaster instability after the facility was constructed, permanent restoration of the facility and its integral ground is eligible, including measures to stabilize the integral ground.'' The applicant is responsible for providing 4 See Project Worksheet (PW) 1029, Humboldt County, Version 1 (May 16, 2019) and PW 297, Humboldt County, Version 1 (March 19, 2021). Note: The Applicant and the Grantee assert that, in prior disasters, FEMA reimbursed similar costs. On this matter, FEMA notes that each project is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Eligibility decisions under separate declarations, if made in error, have no impact on the eligibility of funding discussed in the present appeal. See FEMA Second Appeal Analysis, York (Town of), FEMA-4367-DR-ME, at 3, n.12 (Aug: 18, 5 The Applicant maintains the amount in dispute is $3,111,717.00, no clarification is provided explaining how this figure was determined.

documentation to support its claim as eligible and show that work is required to address damage caused by the disaster. '
Here, the Applicant states that the site did not have any predisaster instability and that the current disaster created the instability. The Applicant has provided a geotechnical report which defined the cause to be "inherent weakness of the fill and outer slope material, the high degree of saturation from seasonable stormwater infiltration, and subsurface water seepage through the till slope."l3 The Applicant's Contractor clarified with additional certified correspondence that, "the geotechnical report did not imply preexisting instability at this site... the Contractor concluded that] the road failure was the direct result of high intensity storms in February 2017, which oversaturated and weakened the fill embankment of the road, causing slope failure." 4 The California Geologic survey data additionally did not find any preexisting instability within the integral ground at the Facility. Furthermore, the wood pile walls cited on first appeal as failing were clarified by the Contractor, stating, "the wood piles were still near vertical and straight and showed no evidence of global instability."'S In instances of previously identified evidence of instability on the roadway, the Applicant has provided documentation which substantiated that those cited instances were previous repairs from disasters.
Based on documentation provided by the Applicant, it has substantiated that the integral ground was stable prior to the incident. Therefore, work to repair the integral ground is eligible.
Change in Scope of Work/Improved Project
A change to the approved scope of eligible work requires a written request, including detailed justification and documentation to support the eligibility of the requested revision. ' FEMA engages subject matter experts for technical assistance when necessary to reach a determination of whether the requested change is eligible for PA funding." FEMA will generally approve changes to the scope of work if the alternative repair method is more cost-effective than the original repair method, the original repair method is not feasible, there is an increase in previously approved quantities due to errors and omissions, or hidden disaster-related damage is discovered. ' An improved project is a project that restores the predisaster function, and at least he same capacity, of the damaged facility and incorporates improvements or changes to it redisaster design not required by eligible codes or standards. ' Funding is limited to the federa share of the approved estimated cost to restore the damaged facility to its predisaster design and 12 Id. at 20, 134.

function; or the federal share of the actual costs of completing the Improved Project, whichever is less. 20
On second appeal, a FEMA Professional Engineer (P.E.) assessed the geotechnical report, cost estimates provided by the Applicant, and other project documentation. Based on this assessment and information provided in the administrative record, FEMA finds that the Applicant's preterred method of repair, a soldier pile wall, achieves the same site stability as an MSE wall and both methods of repair are technically feasible. After reviewing the cost estimates provided by the Applicant, FEMA finds: 1) the soldier pile wall estimate provided by the Applicant was deficient as it did not include contingency factors which increase overall costs," and 2) the MSE wall estimate of $2,359,983.00 is reasonable when compared to historical unit costs for the type of work.
Ultimately, both methods are reasonable for the type of repair considered. However, the Applicant's intended method of repair, a soldier pile wall, goes outside the approved SOW by replacing the material and method of repair. Additionally, the MSE wall is the least cost option when compared to the soldier pile wall. Therefore, FEMA approves the MSE wall estimate of $2,359,983.00 as the eligible estimated cost for repairing the Facility using the approved SOW.
It the Applicant intends to install a soldier pile wall, it may request an Improved Project with the costs capped at the adjusted MSE wall estimate.
Conclusion
The Applicant has demonstrated that the work to repair the integral ground is eligible. FEMA is not approving a change in scope of work, but reviewed the costs associated with installing a MSE wall estimate and increased the approved amount of funding to $2,359,983.00. If the Applicant intends to install a soldier pile wall instead of the MSE wall, it may request an Improved Project with the costs capped at the repair amount associated with the MSE wall- related SOW. Therefore, this appeal is partially granted. 20 44 C.F.R. §206.203(d)(1); PAPPG, at 110.
21 The adjusted cost estimate for the requested soldier pile wall totaled $2,414,906.00.

SUBJECT: Discussion on the Police Department
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
Receive a presentation from staff and provide direction to staff.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On Tuesday, October 4, 2022 at the suggestion of Councilmember Johnson and by consensus of the Council, staff was directed to schedule a study session to look at Police Department staffing.
This included hours of service, and the level of staffing in in the office versus out in the field to determine if more hours are needed in one or the other and what the financial impact would be.
Attached is a report from Chief Allen.

ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICER POSITION
Recently, there has been some discussion on the staffing levels of the Rio Dell Police Department. The debate has centered around the topic of 24- hour coverage and if we currently have enough staff to accomplish this critical safety issue for our City. The police department does provide 24-hour- police response to the City. However, based on the limited number of allocated personnel, officers are on-call between 3 am- 7 am, and the response time is extended.
The following represents the current staffing:
1 Chief of Police Greg Allen
• 1 Sergeant John Beauchaine
4.25 Police Officers C. Landry, L. Burns, R. Johnson (Vacant) • 1 Community Service Officer Mary Clark
1 Part-time Records Clerk Sabrina Lumpkin
***Former Chief of Police Jeff Conner works part-time, assisting with coverage and assigned administrative details.
• Dispatch is contracted through the City of Fortuna.
It would be highly beneficial to the department and the community to allocate an additional police officer position. The following are the most important issues I believe we would alleviate if a position is approved:
1. Currently, officers are working ten hr. shifts. During most of those shifts, officers work alone and respond to calls for service, which should be a two-officer response by standard law enforcement protocols. During the last six months of this year, officers responded to 116 calls for service alone for active disturbances that involved 1-6 subjects. (see addendum for additional calls for service) EXAMPLE- On November 6, 2022, Officer Johnson responded to a residence on Davis Street where an older adult claimed that a man unknown to her was pounding on her door demanding entry. The man further stated that he would shoot into the house if she called the police. Officer Johnson recognized the man as soon as he arrived and knew he had a warrant for his arrest. The man refused all commands and directives. A struggle ensued in which the man was taken to the ground. With the assistance of a passing motorist, the man was eventually handcuffed and placed into the rear seat of Officer Johnson's patrol vehicle.
During his transport to the jail, he claimed he was trying to get into the woman's house as he could hear his family being murdered inside. His family lives in Fortuna. He was booked on charges of making criminal threats, resisting arrest, and the warrant. -61-
2. Will have staffing in the City 24 hours a day and eliminate the on-call status between 0300-0700. The department currently is averaging 14 calls a month between those hours.
EXAMPLE-On November 9, 2022, Chief Allen responded to a residence that has had frequent visits by the Police Department in the past. As Chief Allen approached the house, he was met outside by the mother o three young women who also lived in the residence. The mother had blood on her nose and a black eye. She told Chief Allen that her middle daughter had punched her when she tried to prevent the daughter from fighting with her older sister. Chief Allen entered the residence with multiple subjects yelling and convinced the middle daughter to hand her baby to her grandmother. She was then taken into custody without further issue.
3. We will be able to implement a police bike program and foot patrol to promote community policing further.
4. Will have coverage for those officers subpoenaed to court without increasing overtime.
5. Will have coverage for officers on training, sick, or vacation without increasing overtime.
6. The City will be covered if a person is arrested and taken to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility, Humboldt County Juvenile Hall, and/or Redwood Memorial Hospital.
EXAMPLE - On October 15, 2022, Officer Johnson arrested a female for driving under the influence. She was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility, where she was refused clearance by jail medical staff. Officer Johnson had to transport the female to St Joseph's Hospital for medical clearance. While awaiting this clearance, there were additional calls for service in the City of Rio Dell, to which the sheriff's office assisted in responding. One of those calls was an in-progress physical fight.
7. This will allow the department to be proactive in reducing crime instead of reactive.
8. Will provide quicker response times to calls for service.
9. Will assist with Code Enforcement, Animal Control, and other projects that benefit the well-being of the City of Rio Dell.
10. We will provide more interaction and safety to Rio Dell Elementary and Monument Middle School as we move closer to having our own School Resource Officer. Currently, Fortuna Police Department provides this service due to Measure Z funding.
While it is highly beneficial to allocate an additional police officer position, there is the question of whether it is financially feasible and sustainable to accomplish this. There is an associated cost that would be related to this addition, and that cost is as follow:
- The total salary and benefits of adding a police officer position at the entry-level position are $114 527.
-Due to the additional workload the position would create, it would be appropriate to classify the Records Technician as a full-time position. This position is currently being funded by Measure Z at $34,321. The total salary and benefits for a full-time Records technician are S81,983.
