B. The city finds that every city and county in California, including the city of South Lake Tahoe, could face fines up to $10,000 a day for not meeting the above mandated goal.
C. The city finds that reusing and recycling construction and demolition debris is essential to further the city’s efforts to reduce waste and comply with AB 939.
D. The city finds that construction and demolition debris waste reduction and recycling have been proven to reduce the amount of such material that is landfilled.
E. The city finds that, except in unusual circumstances, it is feasible to divert an average of at least 50 percent of all construction and demolition debris from construction, demolition, and renovation projects.
F. The city finds that, to ensure compliance with this article without creating a competitive disadvantage, it is necessary to impose a performance security requirement. (Ord. 951 § 1; Ord. 1024 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 1064 § 1 (Exh.

B. If set forth by resolution of the city council, the permittee shall pay a nonrefundable administrative fee sufficient to compensate the city for all expenses incurred in administering this article.
C. No permit will be issued by the building official for a project unless and until the building official has approved the debris recycling acknowledgment and, if applicable, the performance security and administrative fee have been submitted.
D. Within 60 days after the final and/or occupancy approval of the project by the building official, the permittee shall submit a debris recycling report to the building official for the building official’s approval.
E. The building official shall approve the debris recycling report only if the report validates that the permittee either reduced or recycled at minimum 50 percent by weight of the total debris generated by the project. Upon approval of the debris recycling report, the full performance security, if applicable, shall be released to the permittee within 10 business days.
F. In the event that a permittee fails to submit an approved debris recycling report within two years of the date of the current debris recycling acknowledgment, the permittee shall thereafter be required to submit with the debris recycling acknowledgment a performance security. The amount of the performance security shall be calculated as the lesser of three percent of the total project cost calculated by the building official or $10,000. Acceptable forms of performance security include the following: performance bonds, surety bonds, letters of credit, and certificates of deposit.
G. Noncompliance shall be defined as failure to meet the requirements of this article. Specifically, noncompliance means (1) failure to submit a debris recycling acknowledgment pursuant to this article, (2) failure by the permittee to achieve reduction or recycling of a minimum of 50 percent by weight of debris resulting from the project, except as provided in subsection (H) of this section, and/or (3) failure by a permittee to submit a debris recycling report within 60 days of final and/or occupancy approval of the project by the building official. Permittees determined by the building official to be noncompliant will be subject to forfeiture of the performance security, if applicable, in its entirety. Performance security deposits forfeited to the city shall be used only for the cost of programs whose purpose is to divert the city’s solid waste from landfill disposal. Any person violating any provision of this article is guilty of an infraction and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine not to exceed the value of twice the performance security for a project.
H. If the building official determines upon review of the debris recycling report that the permittee has not achieved reduction or recycling of a minimum of 50 percent by weight of debris resulting from the project, then the building official shall determine if the permittee has made a good faith effort to comply with this article. In making this determination, the building official shall consider the documented efforts of the permittee to reduce and/or recycle debris, the availability of markets for the debris disposed, the size of the project, and any circumstance beyond the control of the permittee. If the building official determines that the permittee has made a good faith effort to comply with this article, then the full performance security, if applicable, shall be released to the permittee.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: October 4, 2022
Title: Ordinance Increasing City Council Compensation (First Reading) Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Susan Blankenship, City Clerk (530) 542-6005 Background: The process for increasing City Council compensation is set forth by Sections 36516 and 36516.5 of the California Government Code:
Government Code Section 36516(a)(4) The salary of council members may be increased beyond the amount provided in this subdivision by an ordinance or by an amendment to an ordinance, but the amount of the increase shall not exceed an amount equal to 5 percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary in effect when the ordinance or amendment is enacted. No ordinance shall be enacted or amended to provide automatic future increases in salary.
Government Code Section 36516.5. A change in compensation does not apply to a council member during the council member’s term of office. This prohibition shall not prevent the adjustment of the compensation of all members of a council serving staggered terms whenever one or more members of the city council becomes eligible for a salary increase by virtue of the council member beginning a new term of office.
The last City Council salary increase was a five percent increase approved by Ordinance No. 2020-1149 on October 20, 2020. The current City Council salary is $1,147.27 per month.
Issue and Discussion: City Council is eligible for an increase in compensation of up to 5 percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last salary adjustment following the November 8, 2022, election, when three Council members will begin new terms of office.
City Council may choose to: a) make no changes to the current compensation, b) increase compensation by 5 percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary, or c) increase compensation by a lower amount. The attached ordinance is drafted to increase compensation by five percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last salary adjustment, which would increase the monthly City Council salary from $1,147.27 to $1,264.86 per month.
Any salary increase would be effective January 23, 2023, 2 years from the date of the last salary adjustment.
488
Council Agenda Report October 4, 2022 Page 2 of 2
Financial Implications: The total cost increase for 2022/2023 is $5,715 and is not currently included in the 2022-2023 budget and will need to be allocated from the undesignated general fund balance if approved.
Environmental Considerations: The increase to City Council Compensation is exempt from CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines states that an activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where is can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review.
Policy Implications: An increase of City Council compensation is consistent with the California Government Code.

Responsible Staff Member: Susan Blankenship, City Clerk (530) 542-6005 Background: The process for increasing City Treasurer compensation is set forth by Section 36517 of the California Government Code and Section 2.05.040 of the City Code:
Government Code Section 36517 The city clerk and the city treasurer shall receive, at stated times, a compensation fixed by ordinance or resolution.
City Code Section 2.05.040 B. Salaries and benefits of all other elected and appointed officers shall be as set forth by separate resolution of the city council.
The last City Treasurer salary increase was a five percent increase approved by Resolution No. 2020-091 on October 6, 2020. The current City Treasurer salary is $1,147.27 per month.

City Council may choose to: a) make no changes to the current compensation, b) increase compensation by 5 percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last adjustment of the salary, or c) increase compensation by a lower amount. The attached resolution is drafted to increase compensation by five percent for each calendar year from the operative date of the last salary adjustment, which would increase the monthly City Treasurer salary from $1,147.27 to $1,264.86 per month.
