ANNOUNCEMENT OF ITEMS TO BE DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION Conference with Labor Negotiator, Kyle Knopp, city Manager - Rio Dell Employee's Association, Rio Dell Police Officers Association and all Contract Employees The City Council adjourned to Closed Session with the City Manager at 5:30 p.m.
ORAL ANNOUNCEMENT
The Council reconvened into open session at 6:30 p.m. Mayor Garnes announced that there was nothing to report out of closed session.
PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS
Mayor Garnes called for public comment on non-agenda items.
Estela DeLeon, 541 Second Ave. addressed the Council regarding the poor condition of the street and sidewalk on Second Avenue. She read a statement (included with these minutes at Attachment 1) which included signatures from 30 Second Avenue residents asking that the street be repaired. She suggested the City Council pursue funds from the State if other grant funds are not available to do the repairs.
Joyce McHenry, 483 Second Ave. commented that the sidewalks on Second Ave. are in deplorable condition preventing kids from playing on the sidewalk, the road is down to bare base material and people are driving recklessly, causing further damage. During heavy rain she has to wade in water up to her calf because of the poor drainage and on dry days, debris from the road gets on their homes and vehicles. She said that the road is much too dangerous on foot or by vehicle.
She invited everyone to view the coverage that would be reported by Skylar from Channel 3 News airing tomorrow night at 6:00.
- 1-
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 MINUTES
Nick Angeloff, 156 Grayland Heights attested to the condition of Second Ave. stating that he previously owned a home on that street.
He then thanked the City Council and staff for their response and recovery effort with regard to the recent earthquakes. He commented that he has been part of disaster response efforts for years in other places and the response and cohesion here, largely between the City and the Fire Department has been superb.
He reported that the Rio Dell-Scotia Chamber of Commerce was able to give out some small grants to local businesses due to a generous donation received from a good Samaritan in the Carlotta area. He said that the interesting part of that is that the businesses that had the most damage declined to accept the money. He noted that both CC Market and Root 101 said that the money would go further with other businesses. CC Market actually requested that the money be donated to the Rio Dell Fire Department for the services they provided in the recovery.
He asked if staff and the City Council had a chance to look over the material for the proposed grant application for a Community Resilience Center and said a letter of support from the City would be appreciated in moving forward with the grant application.
Councilmember Woodall asked how soon they would need the letter.
Nick responded that they would need the letter before February 21, 2023. He explained that in lieu of the recent disaster situation, there is merit in Rio Dell being a central location for disaster assistance. The Rio Dell Fire Department property is an optimum location for a Community Resilience Center.
Councilmember Wilson asked what needs to be done as a City or County to move this grant application along.
Nick said that initially a letter of support would be helpful and, in the end, a partnership including the Rio Dell Fire Department, City of Rio Dell, Chamber of Commerce and the Community Resource Center. The City would potentially provide personnel and it gives the Emergency Operations Center a place to live during a disaster. In the meantime, the Community Resource Center could continue to provide daily resources as they currently do. It would be a hardened building resistant to disaster with its own generator, solar, satellite communications and/or internet, refrigeration, and storage areas designed to handle disasters. Centralizing the disaster resources would make it much easier for the survivors to reach out and get those resources.
The grant opportunity was released just before the earthquake, requires no local match and is due by the end of February.
City Manager Knopp noted that there will need to be a special meeting scheduled prior to the next regular meeting on February 21, 2023 so the item regarding the letter of support can be placed on the special meeting agenda.

FEBRUARY 7, 2023 MINUTES
Councilmember Wilson then asked for a consensus of the Council to place the Second Ave. street repair issue on the agenda. Consensus of the Council was to direct staff to place the item on a subsequent agenda for further discussion.
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.
Councilmember Wilson removed Item 4, "Approve Retroactive Earthquake Disaster Expenses" from the Consent Calendar for separate discussion.
Motion was made by Woodall/Carter to approve the Consent Calendar including the following items:
1) Minutes of the January 17, 2023 Regular Meeting;
2) Minutes of the January 27, 2023 Special Meeting; and 3) Minutes of the January 31, 2023 Special Meeting;
Motion carried 4-0.
ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR
Approve Retroactive Earthquake Disaster Expenses
Councilmember Wilson commented on the $124,655.79 invoice for the portable toilets and showers provided to the community in the aftermath of the disaster and drew attention to the fact that there are people in the community that want to criticize the efforts that have occurred during the disaster. At the time these things happen, they all in favor of it, then the bill comes due and they complain. He thanked staff for being able to respond quickly and get showers and toilets here because there was no water for a period of time. He noted that this expense will initially come out of the City's budget with no assurance that it will be reimbursed. This was a service that was provided to people in and out of the community that came and took advantage of these facilities.
City Manager Knopp noted that there is a very good chance that the City will be reimbursed from the State for those costs. The question is whether it will be reimbursed at 100% or 75%.
Motion was made by Wilson/Woodall to approve the retroactive earthquake disaster expenses as presented. Motion carried 4-0.
REPORTS/STAFF COMMUNICATIONS
City Manager Knopp provided a brief update on the current earthquake recovery process which is the initial stages of the recovery effort. Staff is working on establishing Disaster Case Managers and in this particular disaster there is a wide variety of people impacted by -3-
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 MINUTES
the disaster including a wide range of housing issues; everything from chimney collapses toundations and everything in between. In addition, staff is working on identifying funding sources to help pay for Disaster Case Managers and a non-profit to deliver disaster case management services.
He reiterated that the most important thing to note is that one of the things that makes this disaster unique is that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is not going to be involved in this particular emergency recovery etfort. As such, there is not going to be any assistance from the federal government for personal property.
What has been made available are SBA loans with the SBA Disaster Loan Outreach Center located at the Community Resource Center at 406 Wildwood Ave. until February 10,2023. Applicants will however, have until March 6, 2023 to apply by phone or online.
The other solutions to the crisis will be mostly pre-existing loan programs through the State of California such as CDBG Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation loans and other similar programs.
City Manager Knopp extended special thanks to the County of Humboldt for being willing to take on the administration of the City's CDBG loan program and overall efforts to assist in the initial response and recovery from the disaster.
Another aspect of this disaster is the long-term recovery phase and encouraged residents to have patience with the process.
At this time, the City is dependent on non-profits coming and helping to assist those residents that don't qualify for SBA loans and those most vulnerable in the community Staff has been working with the Crisis Network and Habitat for Humanity to try to come up with a workable framework.
The other issue is that we will also need a finance team that handles and distributes the money for their work or any of the philanthropic donations that come in. The City's responsibility in this case is to enforce the building code and make sure contractors are licensed. He noted that the process is ongoing and over the next few weeks, will have some progress in moving things forward.
The hotel voucher program through the County is still available and encouraged displaced residents to call the County at (707) 441-5000 to receive aid if necessary.
Mayor Pro Tem Carter referred to the Police Department staff update and mentioned that there seemed to be a large number of calls for service.
Chief Allen noted that the calls for service definitely increased over the past couple of weeks and said that there were multiple calls from one particular individual. -4-
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 MINUTES
Councilmember Woodall asked if the town hall meeting tomorrow night would be to provide an update on what was discussed at the last town hall.
City Manager noted that the town hall was postponed and said that it would be up to Senator McGuire to schedule the next meeting.
Councilmember Woodall asked for an update on today's water situation.
Water/Roadways Superintendent Jensen explained that during repair of the Birch Street line, other areas of the City were temporarily without water which was not planned.
Apparently, there were a couple of the valves that were closed after the earthquake that did not get reopened. Once they realized the problem, the valves were opened and the water was restored.
SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS/STUDY SESSIONS
Presentation - Tobacco Free North Coast
Jay McCubbrey, PhD, Project Director with Tobacco-Free North Coast provided an educational presentation regarding a Tobacco Retail License Policy. The purpose of the presentation was to discuss developing a consistent regulatory framework throughout Humboldt County to enforce state and local tobacco sales laws.
He explained that the use of tobacco products remains as the leading cause of preventable death in the Unites States. Although adult smoking has declined, the use of electronic smoking devices (vaping) has increased among youth throughout the nation and Humboldt County. To address the youth vaping epidemic, the California Legislature adopted SB-793 which eliminated the sale of flavored tobacco products except for a few flavored tobacco products that are sold in adult-only environments. Unfortunately, SB-793 does not establish mechanisms to enforce state tobacco laws or provide resources to local governments to do so.
Tobacco Retail Licensing is a revenue-neutral way that local jurisdictions can establish to enforce federal, state and local tobacco laws. These policies are considered a public health best practice and recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the California Department of Public Health to decrease youth access to tobacco products.
In August 2022, the Humboldt County Department of Public Health presented an outline of a Tobacco Retail License policy to the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors for initial discussion. The Board unanimously approved moving forward with developing such a policy and requested that other jurisdictions in Humboldt County be included in the discussion to create a consistent regulatory framework throughout the County.
Mr. McCubbrey introduced Amber Weir from NorCal 4 Health, and Jay Macedo from Communities Addressing Nicotine, present to speak further on the subject. -5-
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 MINUTES
Amber Weir, Project Manager for NorCal 4 Health said that she worked with Del Norte County in helping them get their Tobacco Retail License policy adopted. She referred to the link provided in the packet and encouraged everyone to listen to it.
She explained that some of the options to include in a tobacco retail license policy to limit the exposure to youth include:
• Prohibiting the sale of all flavored tobacco products, • Prohibiting the issuance of a new license to stores near schools and youth centers, Prohibiting the issuance of a license to stores that contain a pharmacy, • Prohibiting a new license to stores close to other tobacco retailers, • Capping the total number of allowable tobacco retailers, • Prohibiting tobacco advertising and product placement in kid-friendly locations.
Jay Macedo, from Communities Addressing Nicotine continued with discussion on the enforcement aspect of tobacco licensing. He said that he has been involved with the program for about 20 years working with both tribes and cities and counties, helping to implement and enforce policies.
He noted that many cities and counties have implemented Tobacco Retail License (TRL) policies and research on these policies have shown an annual average reduction of youth tobacco sales by 26% with many communities showing 50-90% reduction.
He explained that local Tobacco Retail License fees are high enough to support and sustain local administration and enforcement with the average TRL fee in California at $344 per year, with $475 per year being the most common fee. The Public Health Law Center has a TR fee calculator to assist local communities in selection a reasonable fee for the number of retailers in their jurisdiction. Currently, the City of Rio Dell has six tobacco retailers.
He further stated that he went to each of the local tobacco retailers in the City and most of them were following compliance in terms of the statewide flavor ban with the exception of a few flavored chews and cigars.
Standardized local TRL policies can help ensure education, compliance and enforcement of federal, state and local laws designed to protect youth from tobacco and establish a level playing field for local retailers.
He asked that the City Council direct staff to work with their programs to develop a policy for further consideration by the City Council.
Councilmember Wilson asked if the six local tobacco retailers in Rio Dell are required to be licensed through the state.
Jay explained that all retailers are required to apply through the state and pay an annual license fee. - 6-
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 MINUTES
Jay McCubbrey explained that the state almost never gets up to our area to enforce the regulations and there was no new revenue through the new ban for enforcement. That is one of the reasons for establishing local regulations, noting that enforcement is a challenge for small communities so everyone needs to work together to make this work He said that perhaps there could be a revenue sharing MOU between the county and the cities that would support Humboldt County Environment Health doing a lot of the regular compliance monitoring with local enforcement, along with Public Health to do occasional compliance checks.
The council thanked them for the presentation and the materials.
SPECIAL CALL ITEMS/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS/PUBLIC HEARINGS
Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County of Humboldt to Administer the City CDBG Projects and Programs Community Development Director Caldwell provided a staff report recommending the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County to administer the City CDBG projects and programs. He said that administering the CDBG programs is an onerous and challenging task and in addition, the City does not have the capacity to administer the programs.
As a result of the recent earthquakes, staff is hoping to shift gears and redirect the City's CDBG Program Income (PI) from the Sewer Line Replacement Project back to Owner- Occupied Rehabilitation loans and a new proposed Residential Rental Rehabilitation program. He indicated that the current CDBG Program Income Guidelines would likely need to be modified to incorporate the Residential Rental Rehabilitation Program. Staff reached out the County, and they graciously offered to administer the CDBG programs on the City's behalf.
Mayor Garnes called for public comment on the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). No public comment was received.
Motion was made by Carter/Woodall authorizing the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County to administer the City CDBG projects and programs. Motion carried 4-0.
ORDINANCES/SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS/PUBLIC HEARINGS
Approve Resolution No. 1572-2023 Authorizing Staff to make application to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to redirect use of CDBG Program Income (PI) back to the City Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program and establishing a Residential Rental Rehabilitation Program Community Development Director Caldwell provided a staff report recommending approval of Resolution No. 1572-2023 authoring staff to make application to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to redirect use of CDBG Program Income - 7-
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 MINUTES
(PI) back to the City Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program and establishing a Residential Rental Rehabilitation Program.
Mayor Garnes opened the public hearing to receive public comment on the proposed resolution.
Sharon Wolfe commented that it is great that the County is offering to administer the program for the City. She said that the limitations of the CDBG program require that ar applicant is 80% or below the median income to qualify but there are a whole lot o homeowners that will not qualify under that standard. She reiterated that there is this missing gap with certain pots of money that are coming which are targeted specifically to low and very low-income folks which is great because they certainly need the help.
Unfortunately, there are a whole lot of people that won't qualify yet don't have enough money to pay for the repairs on their own.
She pointed out that SBA loans are out there as an option but they are quoting applicants
4.65% interest rather than the 2.31% that was quoted in the flyer. She said that she heard from people that they were willing to negotiate the interest rate which may or not be true.
The SBA representatives are apparently pushing people to make decisions on the loans telling them that there is a huge demand for funding and the money is going fast. She pointed out that most residents don't really know what's going on and there is more information coming out at the next town hall so perhaps there will be some kind of program offered through the non-profits that offer resources to those residents that fall in that gap.
These are all things residents need to know before taking on additional debt. It is very difficult to know what to do at this point other than to "hurry up and wait." She agreed that getting the CDBG Rehabilitation program back up is good to get as many of the damaged homes fixed as possible but to keep in mind that many residents won't qualify for CDBG loans under the current guidelines.
There being no further public comment, the public hearing closed.
Motion was made by Woodall/Carter to approve Resolution No. 1572-2023 authorizing staff to make application to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to redirect use of CDBG Program Income (PI) back to the City Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation program and establishing a Residential Rental Rehabilitation program.
Motion carried 4-0.
Mayor Garnes reminded everyone that the SBA Loan Center will only be in Rio Dell until February 10, 2023 but residents can reach out to them by phone or online until March 6, 2023.
COUNCIL REPORTS/COMMUNICATIONS

FEBRUARY 7, 2023 MINUTES
Mayor Pro Tem Carter reiterated the importance of using the current disaster event to learn from it and thanked Nick Angeloff for taking the lead on the grant application for a Community Resiliency Center in Rio Dell.
She reported on her attendance at the CalCities Policy Committee meeting for the Transportation, Communication and Public Works sub-committee. She said that it was their annual priority setting session which lasted over 5 hours. One of the priorities was Disaster Preparedness, especially as it pertains to infrastructure and public works.
Councilmember Wilson reported that he would be attending a Humboldt Waste Management Authority (HWMA) meeting on Thursday and that they are still working out details related to SB 1383 (Organic Waste Recycling). He commented that if SB 1383 is going to work locally, it will likely require universal collection.
Councilmember Woodall reported on her attendance at the Humboldt Transit Authority (HTA) meeting and said they went over the financial statements for all systems which seem to be doing well. They also approved a resolution to purchase up to eleven new hydrogen fuel cell buses and engineering to expand the range of those buses.
She also reported that on February 9, 2023, at the Community Resource Center there are having a senior catered luncheon for seniors 55 and older which is a really nice way for people in the community to get together.
She then read an announcement from Caltrans, the City of Rio Dell and Recology Eel River regarding free dump vouchers that will be given out to Rio Dell residents at the Fire Hall on Wednesday from 8-12:00 as part of Clean California.
Mayor Garnes reported that she met with Linda Nellist, Coordinator of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). She is looking at setting up a training event here in April, not just for police and fire personnel but for community members who wish to be better prepared in the event of an emergency. It is a 3-day training and anyone participating will receive a Certificate of Completion, noting that the training will be worthwhile attending. Additional information on the details of the training will be forthcoming.
She also reported that she had a meeting with the Redwood Coast Tsunami Working Group and said they came here to show their support and offer any help the City may need.
She said that she would be participating next week in the Mayor Selection Committee regarding appointments to LAFco and said if anyone is interested in serving, to apply at the County. Two positions are currently open; one city member and one public member.

Each year an independent auditing firm audits and prepares financial statements for the City of Rio Dell in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Standards (GAAP) and the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that an audit be performed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Per California Government Code 12410.6:
(a) An audit for any local agency, including those submitted to the Controller pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 12410.5, shall be made by a certified public accountant or public accountant, licensed by, and in good standing with, the California Board of Accountancy. (b) Commencing with the 2013-14 fiscal year, a local agency shall not employ a public accounting firm to provide audit services to a local agency if the lead audit partner or coordinating audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit, or the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit, has performed audit services for that local agency for six consecutive fiscal years. For purposes of calculating the six consecutive fiscal years, the local agency shall not take into account any time that a public accounting firm was employed by that local agency prior to the 2013-14 fiscal year. The Controller may waive this requirement if the Controller finds that another eligible public accounting firm is not available to perform JJA CPA, Inc. has provided the City with auditing services for 6 consecutive years, from Fiscal Year 2016-17 through 2021/22. Per CA Govt Code 12410.6, the City of Rio Dell is required to find another eligible public accounting firm to perform future City audits.

SUBJECT: Retroactive Approval for Earthquake Disaster-Related Expenses and Approve Additional $45,000 in Future Work
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
Retroactively Approve Earthquake Disaster-Related Expenses and Approve Additional $45,000 in Future Work
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Council approval of a budget amendment for FY 2022-23 is requested to increase appropriations to provide for additional expenses not known at the time of budget adoption. The December 20 Earthquake caused extensive damage to public and private infrastructure throughout the community of Rio Dell.
The City's sewer system sustained significant damage as documented by extensive I&I issues in the storm events that followed the earthquake disaster. A visual inspection of the sewer lines was necessary in order to locate and verify earthquake damage and qualify future work as a reimbursable expense through CalOES. It is necessary to complete an additional visual inspection at an approximate cost of $45,000 to locate additional damage to the collection system. The costs for the visual inspection do not appear to be reimbursable expenses through CalOES, but is a necessary step to take in order to validate unseen earthquake damage and qualify future projects for CalOES reimbursement. Below are the Earthquake related expenses requesting retroactive approval:
Nor-Cal Pipeline Services: $40,560.63
Per Resolution No. 1227-2014, adopted June 24, 2014, budget transfers over $10,000 within the same budget and fund require the recommendation of the City Manager and approval of the City Council. The Finance Department has created an Earthquake project number to capture expenditures related to the event and will be seeking maximum reimbursement for the percentage of the total costs in coordination with CalOES at an appropriate time in the future.

FROM: Kyle Knopp, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution No. 1574-2023 Related to One Time Bonus Pay to Contracted Management Employees in Recognition of Services Rendered During the Seismic Emergency
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:
Approve Resolution No. 1574-2023; or,
Do not take any action.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In the City of Rio Dell management employees are under a salaried contract with fixed terms related to compensation. Unlike all other city employees, overtime compensation is not authorized. As a result of the 12/20/22 and 1/1/23 seismic events, these employees worked significantly in excess of the standard 80-hour two week pay period. This included, holidays, weekends and evenings.
The City Council has expressed its desire to show appreciation and recognize the work of these Rio Dell Employees for their work above and beyond during a difficult time of need. The proposed bonus is 80 hours for each contract employee, either paid out over four pay periods (2 A subsequent agenda item will be proposed at a future date to amend the employee handbook to modernize disaster response compensation for contract employees during future declared emergencies.

During the period of February 1 to February 14, 2023, there were eighteen calls for service related to animal control issues. Three dogs and one cat were transported to Miranda's Rescue. One of the dogs appeared to have scars from having its muzzle taped shut. Officer Fielder was able to capture a slow- moving possum that was in the front yard of a house on Center. He transported it to the riverbar and released it into the wilds.
Corporal Landry is attending a week-long training on investigating child abuse. This is another course in the Institute of Criminal Investigation (ICI) series.
CSO Mary Clark is also in training this week for PC 832 at the College of the Redwoods.
Aimee House has been hired a Police Officer Recruit and is currently attending the CR Police Academy.
This is effective February 25, 2023.
On February 27, 2023 the Resource Center is sponsoring Coffee with a Cop with coffee being provided by Shotz. Chief Allen, Corporal Landry and CSO Clark will be in attendance.
On February 2, 2023, Chief Allen was dispatched to the area of the Scotia Bridge for a report of black Honda that hit a sign and tree in front of the Scotia Inn and left area towards Rio Dell. Chief Allen located the vehicle just south of Scotia with major damage to the front portion of the vehicle. The driver was still in the vehicle and participated in Field Sobriety Test conducted by CHP. He was arrested for DUI (over three times the legal limit) and Hit and Run.
On February 2, 2023 subject from the 500 block of 4*h Avenue reported his vehicle being stolen. The vehicle was located the same day in Fernbridge fully engulfed. This investigation is ongoing.
On February 6, 2023, Corporal Landry responded to assist the Sheriff's Department in the pursuit of a Jaguar sedan that was failing to yield. The driver of the car had allegedly stolen property from a Fortuna business and fled when the deputy tried to pull him over. The Jaguar took the Davis Street exit, but the driver failed to negotiate the turn and vehicle became stuck in a field. The driver fled southbound on foot and although officers from multiple agencies searched for him, he was able to avoid apprehension.
Corporal Landry had the vehicle towed as the other agencies involved declined to do so. It was later reported as having been stolen.
Also, on February 6, 2023, Officer Burns spoke to a man who claimed that he had been assaulted and threatened with a knife by family members. The man claimed that his wife's sister and her husband had entered his residence and then refused to leave. The man didn't want to have his alleged assailant there as he suffers from PTSD and other mental health issues and is quite volatile. An argument ensued and as the couple were preparing to leave, they stopped, the man pulled out a knife and thrust it towards the victim's belly. The man made threats to kill him before leaving. Officer Burns was able to contact the alleged suspect and his wife, who both came to the station to provide their version of the events. -49-

They also had a video of a portion of the incident that had been taken surreptitiously. The video showed that the alleged victim was the one who was provoking the argument and it appeared that he was trying to get a rise out of the other man. This did lead to an argument. Unfortunately, the video ended before the alleged brandishing of the knife. Both the alleged suspect and his wife adamantly claimed that no weapons had been displayed. Officer Burns declined to arrest the man and instead, the report was sent to the District Attorney's Office for review, given the serious nature of the allegations.
