AGENDA ITEM
City Council
____________________________________________________________ TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager

DATE: March 18, 2025
SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN AND HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL
PROGRESS REPORTS (APRS) FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2024
FILE NO.:
______________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION:

Staff requests that the City Council review the information in the record including the staff report and attachments, consider any comments received, and if determined appropriate, accept the Planning Commission recommendation that the City Council:
1) Accept the General Plan Annual Progress Report and Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APRs) for Calendar Year 2024 as complete, and direct the City Manager to:
a) Transmit the General Plan Annual Progress Report for Calendar Year 2024 to the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) by April 1, 2025; and
b) Transmit the Housing Element Annual Progress Report for Calendar Year 2024 to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

BACKGROUND:

Government Code Section 65400 mandates that all non-charter cities, and all 58 counties submit Annual Progress Reports (APRs) on the status and implementation of their General Plan, including the Housing Element. Since 1969, California has required that local governments adequately plan to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community, at all income levels. California’s local governments meet this requirement by adopting housing plans (a.k.a. housing elements) as part of their “general plan” (also 21 required by the state). Each jurisdiction’s APR must be submitted by April 1 and covers the previous calendar year (2024).

The City of Shasta Lake’s General Plan is a long-range planning program that will guide the orderly growth and development of the Shasta Lake planning area over the next 20 years. The Plan reflects the community’s vision for its growth and development and establishes the policy framework needed to shape growth and development effectively. It provides the necessary direction to ensure that the community will be supported by an adequate range of public services and infrastructure as it grows.

One primary function of the Housing Element APR is to allow HCD to track city progress towards meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) each year over the 8- year planning cycle of the Housing Element. The key benchmark for tracking RHNA progress is issued building permits within the state-designated housing affordability ranges.

The information in the 2024 calendar year reports reflect the Council’s successful work to implement the General Plan and Housing Element. As identified in the reports, these efforts have included actions related to land use, housing, transportation, public services and infrastructure, conservation, and the protection of community health and safety. The Planning Commission considered the APRs at its March 6, 2025, meeting, found them complete and recommended filing of the reports with the state.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Action on the APRs is not a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines §15378 and 15061(b)(3) as it does not result in any direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

No direct fiscal impact.

The General Plan APR provides information regarding the past year’s implementation of the General Plan. APRs also inform the public of the progress in meeting the community’s long-range development goals. This APR provides information for decision-makers to assess how the General Plan was implemented during the most recent 12-month calendar year reporting period. The following information is intended to provide only the most significant information on implementation during the reporting period. Information on overall development activity, including the number of building permits issued and land use entitlements, can be obtained directly from the City’s Development Services Department.
2024 HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT
State law also requires that all General Plans include a Housing Element that provides a plan for accommodating future housing production needs. The 2020-2028 Housing Element Update has been completed and certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

State law further requires that all cities and counties create an annual progress report that describes the community’s progress toward implementing the Housing Element. The Housing Element APR must cover the previous calendar year and must be delivered to HCD by April 1 of each year. The Housing APR must be submitted electronically to HCD, utilizing a format and methodology prescribed by the state. The Housing APR is attached to this report. 2020-2040 COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE - STATUS

Progress Report

2024 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports PUBLIC SAFETY and COMMUNITY HEALTH ELEMENT (PS&CH)
This element identifies potential hazards and pollution sources, discusses important public safety issues, and highlights other community health, wellness, and safety priorities. The element provides goals, policies, and implementation actions to mitigate and protect the community against associated impacts.

The Public Safety Element also includes (as appendices) the “Local Hazard Mitigation Plan” (LHMP) adopted in May 2022 and is due for update again by 2027, and the SB 379 required “Climate Vulnerability Assessment” which is now a statewide priority in efforts to protect property and the public from the hazards of flooding and wildland fires. • Noise: Noise is addressed under the Environmental Quality section (Section 7.5) of the PS&CH. The Element contains community noise information that identifies and appraises community noise issues from sources such as high-volume roadways and incompatible land uses. Consistent with state law, policies in the Element provide long-term direction on how noise impacts will be addressed as the community develops.

• Air Quality: Air quality must also be addressed in the General Plan, and air quality information and policies are included in the Environmental Quality section of the PS&CH Element. The state-required Community Climate Vulnerability Assessment is included as an appendix to the Element. Air quality, including climate change, is addressed under the Environmental Quality section (Section 7.5) of the PS&CH as well.
• Community Health. Although community health is not a state-mandated general plan topic, addressing community health and wellness issues was identified as a major priority for the community during the General Plan visioning process, and the new Plan includes substantial policy language focused on creating and providing opportunities to achieve a healthier community.

HOUSING ELEMENT
State law requires every city and county to adopt a Housing Element as part of its General Plan. The law recognizes that for the private sector to address housing needs and demand, local governments must adopt land use plans and regulatory schemes that provide opportunities for housing development. The City’s Housing Element was first adopted in 1999 and has been updated several times. The 5th Cycle Housing Element covered the planning period from January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2019. The 6th Cycle Housing Element was adopted in 2021 and will be in place through 2028 when the next Element update must be completed.

The City of Shasta Lake’s Housing Element serves to understand and analyze the City’s housing needs and develop programs and policies that can help meet those identified needs. The Housing Element is a component of the City’s 2040 General Plan, which demonstrates that the City is adequately planning to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community and that it is consistent with other elements of the General Plan.
• 2020-2028 6th Cycle Housing Element Update
The 2020-2028 Housing Element Update was approved by the City of Shasta Lake Planning Commission on 07/23/2020 and the City Council on 08/04/2020 and the Element has been certified by the state.

The 6th Cycle Housing Element includes seven goal statements. Under each statement, the Element sets out policies that amplify with additional detail each goal. Implementation programs are listed at the end of the corresponding group of policies and briefly describe the proposed action, the City departments with primary responsibility for conducting the program, the funding source, and the time frame for accomplishing the program. Significant implementation actions in 2024 included the following:

HE-4.1_Local, State, and Federal Funding for Infrastructure The City will pursue funding for infrastructure that will support infill properties that can be used for residential development.

Annually See HE-1.4_State and Federal Funding
HE-5.1_Energy Efficiency Calculations
The City shall require all new construction to demonstrate compliance with Title 24 mandates during the planning and design process using energy efficiency calculations approved by the State Annually
Effective 1/1/2020, each new low-rise residential new construction must include plans for rooftop solar. Electric and Building department staff review each proposal, prior to issuing permits for construction, to ensure the system size for each building satisfies Title 24 mandates, as determined by formulas provided by the State.

HE-5.2_Energy Efficiency

HE-5.4_Community Solar
The City shall explore locations and projects for “community solar,” or utility-scale solar photovoltaic systems with supporting programs todirectly serve the City’s end-users’ electricity needs with local renewable energy sources Annually
The Electric Department initiated its review of potential projects to promote community solar by evaluating the programmatic requirements imposed by the CA Energy Commission (CEC). The Department has found that the CEC’s definition of "community solar" and its associated requirements creates a great deal of uncertainty that are untenable. First, the City must bind its customers who use community solar, as an alternative to rooftop solar, to long-term commitments (e.g., 20-years). However, the City’s community solar program itself only receives a short-term approval from the CEC Board, as the Board requires all programs to be re-affirmed every 2 years. It is difficult to impossible for either party (City or Customer) to enter into a long-term agreement under a program that only has a 2-year approved shelf life. The City will continue to evaluate “community solar,” particularly the uncertainty that the regulatory mandates have created. In the meantime, the City continues to purchase renewable energy supply to meet a growing proportion of end-users’ collective needs and maintains an electric portfolio that is predominantly carbon-free.

HE-6.1_Reasonable Accomodation
The City shall continue to provide reasonable accommodations through a formal procedure by reviewing and approving requests for modifications to building or zoning requirements in order to ensure accommodations for persons with disabilities. Additionally, the City shall provide both printed information, and information on the City’s website regarding reasonable accommodations by January 2023 Annually
The City has adopted Municipal Code Section 17.92.090 - Minor Exceptions and amended Chapter 17.90 - Nonconforming Uses, Structures, Sites, and Parcels. These changes create an avenue to accommodate modifications to zoning requirements that may be needed for persons with disabilities.

HE-6.2_Assistance for Special Needs Populations
In order to assist in the housing needsfor special needs populations, including the elderly, persons with physical and mental disabilities (including developmental disabilities), female-headed households, large families, farmworkers, extremely lowincome households, and veterans, the City will engage with housing advocates, encourage housingproviders to designate a portion of new affordable housing developments for special needs populations, , and pursue funding sources designated for these groups.. The City shall also partner with the Far Northern Regional Center to provide information and services to persons with development disabilities.

Ongoing
The City partners with Shasta County Community Action Agency (CAA). CAA is currently working on the following projects/programs that benefit the special needs population for Shasta County and City of Shasta Lake: Square One HomesVeterans Village Project.

TO: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager
FROM: Wendy Howard, Finance Director
Jason Peterson, Finance Manager
DATE: March 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2024-25 Mid-Year Budget Review Message The City of Shasta Lake’s (the City) budget review for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, is presented here and includes all the funds the City anticipates will be received and expended for the balance of the current budget cycle. This is the first year of the City’s two-year budget. In most instances, revenue and expenditures are based on known information likely to occur.

However, it is essential to note that the City is reliant on many factors when making projections for the balance of this fiscal year.

The City maintains and accounts for separate funds. Each of these funds includes its own revenue and expenditures and is accounted for separately. With very few exceptions, revenue collected within a fund must be expended for the operations that the fund is intended.

General Fund
General Fund Revenues
There are no changes to budgeted revenue figures for the General Fund.

The following table represents the budgeted General Fund revenue for fiscal year 2024/25:
53 General Fund Expenditures
The General Fund has proposed expenditure increases for FY 24/25 of $45,000 to the General Fund budget of $11,214,350 for a new estimate of $11,259,350.

The following table represents the recommended changes to expenditures within the City’s General Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

It is also requested that a $37,000 increase be approved for next fiscal year 25/26. 54 The table below show these changes by department:

With changes and adjustments recommended by Staff, subsequently approved by the City Council, and maintaining a fiscally conservative approach, the City of Shasta Lake has continued to maintain a viable General Fund. This fiscally conservative approach entails estimating revenues low and expenditures high. This means that in most fiscal years there are budget savings. That is the case here, and even though there are expenditure increases being proposed, the General Fund is projected to remain in a stable position at the end of this fiscal year. 55 The table below shows notable changes to expenditures, including offsetting revenues, for some of the City’s other funds, as noted, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025:

Special Revenue Funds
CDBG Projects Funds
The CDBG program is a pass-through federal grant, awarded from the State of California Housing and Community Development to grant small cities with a population under 50,000. This funding is released through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), and is a competitive application process. CDBG funding may be used for projects such as; community service, infrastructure improvements, and housing for low-income residents. Typical projects funded in the past include infrastructure improvements and construction of public facilities.

Revenues – The City is very active in securing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. These grants operate on a reimbursement basis, which means it never has a cash balance available to earn interest income.

Expenditures – This increase of $460,000 is for multiple projects, and are offset by grant revenues.

Enterprise Funds
Wastewater Enterprise
Expenditures – A $165,000 increase for FY 24/25 and a net decrease of $10,000 for FY 25/26.

These expenses are related to maintenance and equipment costs, SCADA support and licensing, and a request to transfer $75,000 in budget from FY 25/26 to the current year for the start of the Wastewater Master Plan update.

AGENDA ITEM
City Council
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager

DATE: March 18, 2025
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CITY COUNCIL TRAVEL POLICY
FILE NO.:

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council review and adopt the proposed Council Travel Policy.

BACKGROUND
The City Council regularly engages in official travel to attend conferences, trainings, legislative meetings, and other city-related events. A well-defined travel policy ensures transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility in the use of public funds.

The City Council Travel Policy was last adopted on March 7, 2006. Since then, changes in travel costs, government regulations, and accountability standards have necessitated a review and amendment of the policy. The proposed updates provide clearer guidelines on permissible travel expenses, approval processes, and reimbursement procedures.

On Monday, March 10, 2025, staff met with the Finance Committee to evaluate the existing policy and discuss recommended amendments:
• Align policy language with the City Staff travel policy as outlined in the Employee Handbook, ensuring a consistent approach for both City Council members and staff.
57 • Introduce a Technology Policy, including a maximum $55.00 reimbursement for cellular phone expenses, consistent with the city’s existing stipend for employees who are eligible for a city-issued phone.
• Specify the required timeline for submitting travel reimbursement forms.

Staff recommends that the City Council review, amend, and approve the updated Travel Policy to maintain consistency and transparency in council-related travel expenses.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

If approved as written, a cell phone stipend not to exceed $55.00 per month would require a $3,300 budget adjustment to the Council budget.

RE: SB 74 (Seyarto) infrastructure Grants.

Notice of SUPPORT
Dear Senator Seyarto,
The City of Shasta Lake is pleased to support SB 74 (Seyarto), which seeks to establish an infrastructure gap-fund program to provide much-needed grants to local agencies for the development and construction of critical infrastructure projects.

As California’s local governments continue to grow, so does the need for reliable and sustainable infrastructure. However, many local governments struggle to fund essential projects due to financial constraints, making it difficult to meet the demands of our residents and businesses.

Senate Bill 74 will help bridge this funding gap by offering grants that support roads, bridges, water systems, and other vital infrastructure, ensuring safer and more efficient communities.

The devasting fires across the state and most recently in Southern California have shown vulnerabilities in our local infrastructures. Investing in public infrastructure is crucial to preventing fires and protecting lives. Adequate funding for fire-resistant building materials, modernized electrical grids, and well-maintained roadways ensures that both public and private spaces are safeguarded against potential fire threats. Furthermore, upgrading water supply systems, such as expanding hydrant networks and improving water pressure, is essential for effective firefighting efforts.

Beyond fire prevention, improved infrastructure enhances emergency response times and community resilience. Well-maintained roads and bridges allow first responders to reach emergency sites more quickly, while investments in communication systems ensure timely coordination between emergency services. Additionally, incorporating fire-safe designs in public buildings, schools, and transportation systems not only reduces the likelihood of fires but also protects vulnerable populations.

The City of Shasta Lake has a population of just over 10,000, with the majority considered disadvantaged. The City heavily depends on external funding to rehabilitate and replace its aging infrastructure. Due to limited budgets, we often have to save for years to complete projects when outside funding is either highly competitive or unavailable. 71 Rising construction costs have significantly impacted our projects, forcing the City Council to make tough decisions, such as postponing road repairs to cover increasing costs for law enforcement and public services.

Most recently, the Veterans Village Project was forced to halt construction due to escalating costs.

Originally a $15 million project, it faced a $3 million funding gap within just two years. As a result, construction is on hold until additional funding is secured, delaying much-needed housing for our most vulnerable residents.

The City of Shasta Lake believes that investing in local infrastructure is crucial for economic development, job creation, and public safety. By supporting SB 74, the State of California is making a commitment to strengthening our communities and ensuring that local agencies have the necessary resources to complete much-needed projects.

For these reasons, the City of Shasta Lake is pleased to support SB 74 (Seyarto).

Very truly yours,

CITY OF SHASTA LAKE

72 SB-74 Critical Infrastructure Gap Fund

SUMMARY
SB-74 will establish the Infrastructure Gap Fund, which upon appropriation by the Legislature, provides grants of up to 20 percent of necessary remaining funding to cities and local agencies for critically delayed and vital infrastructure projects— including but not limited to roads, schools, and broadband— throughout California.

BACKGROUND
California has been facing chronic delays in vital infrastructure projects for many years. Given that many projects are funded by the state’s local tax bases, the recent exodus of individuals from the state, and the rising costs of labor, materials, and regulations, the problem has significantly compounded. California’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) has increased 20 percent since 2020, further exacerbating the chronic delays in completing vital infrastructure projects. Notably, the I-215 Keller Road interchange project in Southern California is just one of many infrastructure projects that have been delayed due to ballooning cost— originally estimated at $12 million in 2013, the project's final cost has ballooned to upwards of $40 million in 2024.

The quality of California’s infrastructure has also been impacted by delays, as the state is notorious for its inability to adequately and timely fund vital infrastructure projects. As a result, the state's infrastructure ranks below the national average in 12 out of 13 highway categories— including poor pavement quality, heavy traffic congestion, and high road fatality rates. Of the 25,818 bridges in the state, 1,591 (6.2%) are classified as structurally deficient. Ultimately, further delays in completing these projects creates more harm, larger impacts on the climate, and increased costs to taxpayers.

California has led the nation on many fronts, however the state’s infrastructure is decaying due in part to the delayed allocation of funds, leading to swelling costs that ultimately hinders critical infrastructure projects from being completed.

PROPOSAL
SB-74 establishes the "Gap Fund,” managed by the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI), which will offer grants for the remaining 20 percent of project costs to cities and local agencies. To be eligible, the project must be 80 percent financed with 10 percent coming from local funds; “Gap Fund” grants can be used once per project and the infrastructure projects should be shovel-ready.

The Honorable Melissa Hurtado

1021 O Street, Room 6510
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: SB 496 (Hurtado) Advanced Clean Fleets.

Notice of SUPPORT (As introduced 2/19/2025)
Dear Senator Hurtado,
The City of Shasta Lake is pleased to support SB 496 (Hurtado), a bill that would establish an Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) Appeals Advisory Committee, ensure disaster service workers can effectively respond to emergencies, and introduce much-needed, common-sense compliance reforms.

Nestled in Northern California, the City of Shasta Lake benefits from its rural landscape, which naturally helps reduce its carbon footprint. With over 34% of our land restricted from development, we preserve vast natural spaces while balancing the challenges of statewide legislation designed primarily for dense urban areas. Despite these challenges, we remain committed to responsible development, ensuring the maintenance of critical infrastructure and the reliable delivery of essential services to our community.

The ACF sets aggressive compliance deadlines requiring fleets to transition to an increasing proportion of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs). However, this transition depends on the availability of adequate utility infrastructure for alternative fueling, such as EV charging, as well as access to ZEVs that can effectively deliver a full range of specialized services—many of which are vital to public health and safety. While the ACF includes provisions for fleets to request exemptions in cases where compliance is unattainable due to circumstances beyond their control, the regulation lacks clarity on how these exemptions are evaluated and does not offer an administrative review process for denials by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

SB 496 addresses this gap by establishing an Appeals Advisory Committee, providing local agencies with a formal mechanism to seek review of denied exemption requests. This process would enhance transparency and uphold due process while maintaining CARB’s authority, as the committee would serve in an advisory capacity. A formal appeals process is a best practice when exemptions and extensions are part of a regulatory framework, offering a clear and reasonable path to compliance. We understand this bill also modifies the requirements of the daily usage exemption, removing unnecessary barriers that make compliance more challenging for applicants. 75 Additionally, SB 496 would update the emergency vehicle exemption, ensuring that vehicles essential to disaster response and public safety operations—often deployed under extreme conditions—can continue serving our communities effectively. Emergency responders, including public employees, must have access to vehicles that meet operational demands, especially during power outages and natural disasters. With the increasing frequency of such events across California, prioritizing the safety of our communities and the first responders who serve them is critical.

The City of Shasta Lake delivers essential utility services—including electricity, water, and wastewater—to approximately 10,250 residents across an 11-square-mile area, primarily serving a disadvantaged community. Despite our small size, we have endured multiple natural disasters that have severely strained our emergency response capabilities, including the 2018 Carr Fire, the 2019 “atmospheric river” winter storms, and the Thanksgiving-week “bomb cyclone” of 2019.

Both the Carr Fire and the atmospheric river storm prompted state and federal emergency declarations, triggering support from Cal OES and FEMA for recovery efforts.

Rapid deployment of our staff is crucial in protecting the community. When a fire is advancing toward critical infrastructure or floodwaters are trapping residents in their homes, every second matters.

Furthermore, SB 496 promotes affordability by preventing the premature acquisition of ZEVs before the necessary infrastructure is in place. Investing in vehicles without the required charging or fueling infrastructure would impose unnecessary costs on local agencies already facing financial constraints.

SB 496 will introduce vital improvements to the ACF, helping safeguard public health and safety, prevent unnecessary financial burdens on our ratepayers, and allow local agencies to continue their efforts to decarbonize fleet operations in a practical and achievable manner.

We appreciate your consideration of our position on SB 496 (Hurtado). If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at (530) 275-7411.

Very truly yours,

CITY OF SHASTA LAKE

Bill Summary
AB 476 enhances enforcement against copper wire
theft by:
 Expanding the information junk dealers and
recyclers must collect before purchasing
nonferrous metals (any metal that does not
contain iron such as copper, aluminum,
etc.).
 Requiring sellers of copper to obtain a
state-issued license unless they hold
specific trade or contractor credentials.

Existing Law
Junk dealers and recyclers must maintain records
of transactions, including but not limited to: date,
location, and ownership statements. (Business and
Professions Code 21606)
Junk dealers and recyclers cannot possess
disassembled specified public infrastructure
components, such as fire hydrant or fire
department connection, manhole cover, or
backflow devices, without proper certification of
ownership. (Business and Professions Code
21609.1).

Any person engaged in the salvage or possession of
the above specified public utility materials without
authorization is punishable by fines up to $3,000.
(Penal Code 496e).

Background
The price of copper is near historic highs and theft
is increasing, despite relatively strict state law and
efforts of cities’ to ramp up enforcement. Copper
theft is not a victimless crime and costs far more to
repair and replace the infrastructure than just the
actual lost value of the copper itself.

Cities like San Jose, Los Angeles, Santa Monica,
Richmond, and Fresno have all dealt with copper
wire theft and have needed to expend large
amounts of resources on enforcement and repairs.

Los Angeles created their own copper wire task
force in response to copper wire thefts in places
like the Sixth Street Bridge and from public
infrastructure and construction sites leaving
streets, neighborhoods in the dark. 38,000 feet or
seven miles of copper were taken from this bridge,
for a sell value of approximately $11,000, with an
estimated price tag of $2.5 million to repair.

Need for AB 476
AB 476 strengthens theft prevention and
enforcement by introducing:

1. Enhanced Reporting Requirements – Junk
dealers and recyclers must collect detailed
transaction records, including proof of legal
ownership, signed statements of
ownership, and additional identification
details. Dealers must also retain these
records for at least one year and provide
access to law enforcement.

2. Licensing for Copper Sellers – Individuals
selling copper must obtain a state license,
ensuring that only legally obtained
materials enter the market. Contractors and
licensed trade professionals are exempt
from this requirement.

These measures aim to deter copper theft, protect
public infrastructure, and ensure transparency in
the scrap metal trade.
