3.0 REGULAR AGENDA:
3.1 Receive a progress update on the parks student survey and household survey. Provide feedback on deadline.
Community and Economic Development Manager, Whitney Zeller, gave a presentation on initial survey responses.

Community and Economic Development Manager, Whitney Zeller, gave a presentation on some of the achievements and improvements in parks maintenance. Future needs were discussed.
Some of the ideas were more walking trails, more recreation programs and opportunities for seniors, and field expansion so that more age levels could use the fields at Bizz Johnson Park.
It was determined that more efforts should be made to engage the senior community members.
Many seniors do not use social media and are not being as well informed as they should be. It was decided that bringing back a quarterly newsletter to be inserted in utility bill mailings would be a good out-reach tool to keep seniors informed on what is going on in the community and how they can participate.

SUBJECT: 2022-2023 SB1 Project List Adoption
FILE NO.: S-070-150-616
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests that the City Council adopt the SB1 2022-2023 project list.
BACKGROUND:
On April 28, 2017 Governor Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 1, which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. This bill was intended to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs on both the state highway and local streets and road system, SB 1: increased per gallon fuel excise taxes; increased diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration fees; and provided for inflationary adjustments to tax rates in future years. Beginning November 1, 2017, the State Controller (Controller) began depositing various portions of this new funding into the newly created Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of this new RMRA funding was apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.
For the 2022-2023 FY, the City is scheduled to receive approximately $242,923 in SB1 RMRA funding. In order to comply with RMRA funding requirements, staff has prepared the attached 2022-2023 project list.
The project list includes the following projects:
Westside Area Street Improvements 2023 – Project generally consists of grinding and patching, pavement fabric or mat and HMA placement, utility box and manhole adjustment to grade, and thermoplastic striping and marking on various streets in the area immediately west of the railroad tracks in Shasta Lake, including but not limited to Shasta Park neighborhood, Pancake Hill area north and south of SR-151. Staff anticipates advertising the project for construction in Spring 2023. This project will have a useful life of at least 10 years. 38 Moody Creek Bridge Replacement Project – Project generally consists of completing the civil and structural engineering, environmental, right-of-way, and PSE work related to the rehabilitation and/or replacement of the Moody Creek Bridge on Cascade Boulevard. This project entered the design phase in 2018. Construction of this project will likely be completed after 2023. This project will have a useful life of at least 50 years.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
In additional to RMRA funds, this project is funded by currently budgeted transportation funds.

WHEREAS, the City intends to use SB1 revenues in combination with funding from other sources to complete road maintenance projects as established by the City’s Street Paving Policy; and WHEREAS, the funding from SB1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate a variety of streets and bridges throughout the City.

AGENDA ITEM
City Council
TO: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager
FROM: Jim Hamilton, Annuitant Planner
DATE: May 17, 2022
SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment No. 22-01 - Adoption of Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and General Plan Policy FS-f
FILE NO.: GPA No. 22-01 and 2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) Update RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests the City Council review the information provided in the report and attachments, open the public hearing to accept public comment, and if determined appropriate adopt the attached resolution amending the General Plan Safety Element by the adoption of Policy FS-f, and formally adopting the 2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP).
BACKGROUND:
The Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000 (Public Law 106-390) requires local governments to develop and adopt pre-disaster mitigation plans to be eligible to receive grants from the Federal Pre-Disaster Mitigation or Post-Disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program(s). Implementing an LHMP aides’ local jurisdictions in minimizing property damage and risks to the public that can result from natural or man-made disasters,. As part of the adoption process the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal-OES) reviews LHMPs, and then forwards them to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for review.
The City Council approved submittal of the draft LHMP to Cal-OES and FEMA in December 2021.
Both Cal-OES and FEMA accepted the LHMP as complete and meeting all statutory and agency requirements as submitted. Neither Agency required modifications of the draft Plan.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended City Council adoption of both the LHMP and General Plan Policy FS-f at their May 5, 2022, meeting. Following adoption of the attached resolution, the Plan will become an appendix to the Public Safety Element of the General Plan.
Following adoption, the next update of the LHMP must be accomplished no later than May 17, 2027.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 22-01
Passed in 2006, Assembly Bill No. 2140 (AB 2140) also encourages California cities to adopt their current, FEMA-approved LHMPs into the Safety Element of their General Plans. This adoption 61 makes the city eligible for part or all its local-share costs from funding that may be provided by the state through the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA). The CDAA allows the state to pay up to 18.75% of the non-federal share that would otherwise fall upon the city to pay for disaster mitigation projects after a disaster occurs. The usual local share is 25% of the total project cost.
In addition, if the legislature authorizes funding, cities that are AB 2140 compliant will be eligible for state funding of the remaining 6.25% local share. To achieve compliance with AB 2140 the City must incorporate the following language into our current Safety Element:
Policy FS-f: “The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for the Shasta Lake planning area was developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and followed FEMA’s 2011 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. The LHMP incorporates a process where hazards are identified and profiled, the people and facilities at risk are analyzed, and mitigation actions are developed to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. The implementation of these mitigation actions, which include both short and long-term strategies, involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities. The LHMP therefore serves as an important part of the General Plan, that is incorporated by reference. (https://www.cityofshastalake.org/LHMP)
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Staff and the Commission recommends the City Council determine that it can be seen with certainty that the plan will have not have a significant effect on the environment, and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) and Section 15262 (feasibility and planning studies).
Implementation of LHMP mitigation actions remains subject to project specific CEQA review.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
General Fund and grant funds have been used to prepare the update to the LHMP and the General Plan Amendment. Adoption of the Plan and GPA will make the City eligible for Federal and State Pre-Disaster Mitigation or Post-Disaster Hazard Mitigation Grant Program(s) funding.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Shasta Lake:
A. Makes the following findings and determinations:
63 1. The City Council finds adoption of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan update and its incorporation by reference into the Shasta Lake General Plan will further the public necessity, convenience and general welfare of the residents of Shasta Lake. The LHMP provides recommended mitigation measures and strategies to reduce the potential impacts of natural hazards on the people and property in the city. Adoption of the LHMP and implementation of the accompanying disaster mitigation measures will thereby help to preserve and enhance the quality of life of residents.
2. The City Council determines the LHMP update is consistent with the City’s General Plan by supporting the adopted goals, objectives, policies and implementation measures of the General Plan, including but not limited to the following policies and measures:
o FS-1 Protect development from wildland and non-wildland fires by requiring development to incorporate design measures responsive to the risk from this hazard.
o FL-1 Protect public health and safety, both on-site and downstream, from flooding through floodplain management which regulates the types of land uses which may locate in the floodplain, prescribes construction designs for floodplain development, and requires mitigation measures for development which would impact the floodplain by increasing runoff quantities.
o SG-1 Protect development from seismic hazards; and protection of essential or critical structures, such as schools, public meeting facilities, emergency services, high-rise and high-density structures, by developing standards appropriate for such protection.
o SG-2 Avoid development on unstable slopes by developing standards for the location of development relative to these hazards.
o SG-3 Protect development from other geologic hazards, such as landslides, erosion and expansive soils.
B. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City Council determines that the proposed project will not result in significant adverse impact on the environment as it is an update of the adopted 2014 LHMP, and it can be seen with certainty that the plan will not have a significant effect on the environment and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) and Section 15262 (feasibility and planning studies).
B. ADOPTION: The City Council adopts the update to the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (Exhibit A to this resolution) as the City of Shasta Lake’s official Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
C. TITLE: The 2021 draft LHMP is formally adopted as the “2022 City of Shasta Lake Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.”
D. GENERAL PLAN INCORPORATION: The 2022 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan shall hereby be considered by reference as part of the 1999 General Plan Public Health and Safety Element, including any future updates to the City of Shasta Lake General Plan. 64 E. GENERAL PLAN POLICY: The City Council adopts General Plan Amendment No.22- 01 thereby establishing the following General Plan Policy as part of the City’s General Plan.
Policy FS-f: “The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for the Shasta Lake planning area was developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and followed FEMA’s 2011 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance.
