RESOLUTION 21-22-*
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SUTTER CREEK
AUTHORIZING REMOTE TELECONFERENCE MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE
BODIES OF THE CITY OF SUTTER CREEK
WHEREAS, the City of Sutter Creek is committed to preserving and nurturing public access and participation in public meetings; and
WHEREAS, all meetings of the City’s legislative bodies are open and public, as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act (Cal. Gov. Code sections 54950 – 54963), so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and watch the City’s legislative bodies conduct their business; and WHEREAS, the Brown Act, Government Code section 54953(e), makes provisions for remote teleconferencing participation in meetings by members of a legislative body, without compliance with the requirements of Government Code section 54953(b)(3), subject to the existence of certain conditions; and
WHEREAS, a required condition is that a state of emergency is declared by the Governor pursuant to Government Code section 8625, proclaiming the existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the state caused by conditions as described in Government Code section 8558; and
WHEREAS, a proclamation is made when there is an actual incident, threat of disaster, or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the jurisdictions that are within the City’s boundaries, caused by natural, technological, or human-caused disasters; and WHEREAS, such conditions now exist in the City of Sutter Creek; and WHEREAS, the City Council does hereby find that the Covid-19 emergency has caused, and will continue to cause, conditions of peril to the safety of persons within the City that are likely to be beyond the control of services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of the City, and desires to ratify the proclamation of state of emergency by the Governor of the State of California; and WHEREAS, as a consequence of the emergency, the City Council finds that the legislative bodies of the City of Sutter Creek shall conduct their meetings without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Government Code section 54953, as authorized by subdivision (e) of section 54953, and that such legislative bodies shall comply with the requirements to provide the public with access to the meetings as prescribed in paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of section 54953; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Sutter Creek proclaims that an emergency continues to exist throughout the City of Sutter Creek and requiring persons to meet in public, without providing an option for remote participation, would present an imminent risk to public health to those for whom remote participation would be optimal for medical reasons.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager and legislative bodies of the City of Sutter Creek are hereby authorized and directed to take all actions necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Resolution including, conducting open and public meetings in accordance with Government Code section 54953(e) and other applicable provisions of the Brown Act.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption and shall be effective until the earlier of (i) 30 days from the date of its adoption, or (ii) such time the City Council adopts a subsequent resolution in accordance with Government Code section 54953(e)(3) to extend the time during which the legislative bodies of the City of Sutter Creek may continue to teleconference without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of section 54953.

STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JANUARY 3, 2022
FROM: AMY GEDNEY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Senate Bill 1383
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution 21-22-* SB 1383 declaring the purpose and need for a rural exemption from the organic waste collection requirements specified in the SB 1383 regulations Background:
The regulations promulgated by California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to implement Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383 Regulations) require all local jurisdictions, including cities, to adopt an enforceable ordinance to implement the SB 1383 Regulations.
The SB 1383 Regulations, specifically Article 3, Chapter 12 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, require local jurisdictions to provide organic waste collection services. The SB 1383 Regulations specifies color and labeling requirements for garbage, recycling, and organic waste containers, requires customers to source separate the materials in the appropriate container (e.g., recyclables must be deposited in the blue recycling container), and requires the waste hauler to transport the source-separated materials set out for collection to the appropriate facilities for processing or disposal.
Discussion:
The SB 1383 Regulations list certain waivers and exemptions that CalRecycle grants local jurisdictions from the organic waste collection services requirements. A local jurisdiction qualifies for a rural exemption if it meets the definition of a “rural jurisdiction.” Public Resources Code Section 42649.8 defines a “rural jurisdiction” as a jurisdiction that is located entirely within one or more rural counties, and defines a “rural county” as a county that has a total population of less than 70,000 persons. The City is located entirely within Amador County, which has a population of 40,474 as of April 1, 2020 as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau for the 2020 Census, and an estimated population of 37,377 on January 1, 2021 as reported by the California Department of Finance at the time of the Resolution.
2 [Type text]
In order to receive the exemption, Section 18984.12(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations requires the City Council to adopt a resolution that includes a finding as to the purpose of and need for the exemption. The rural exemption would result in cost savings to the City, by not having to meet container color and labeling requirements, and by not having to collect or transport residential food waste to an organics processing facility. This would help keep solid waste rates for residential and commercial customers lower.
The City Council would still need to adopt another requirement unrelated to collection services under the SB 1383 Regulations. The City would need to establish an edible food recovery program to encourage certain businesses that handle food to donate edible food to organizations that can redistribute that food for human consumption instead of sending it to the landfill. That will be brought to Council at a later date. Staff will work to identify opportunities to meet the recovered organic waste product and recycled paper procurement requirements.
RESOLUTION 21-22-*
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SUTTER CREEK
DECLARING THE PURPOSE AND NEED FOR A RURAL EXEMPTION FROM THE ORGANIC WASTE COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED IN THE SB 1383
REGULATIONS
WHEREAS, SB 1383 (Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016) directed the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (“CalRecycle”) to adopt regulations to reduce organic waste in landfills by 50 percent from its 2014 baseline level by 2020 and 75 percent by 2025; and WHEREAS, CalRecycle promulgated regulations as directed in SB 1383 in Chapter 12 (ShortLived Climate Pollutants) of Division 7 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“SB 1383 Regulations”); and
WHEREAS, the SB 1383 Regulations require the City of Sutter Creek (“City”) and other jurisdictions to adopt and enforce an ordinance or enforceable mechanism to implement relevant provisions of SB 1383 Regulations by January 1, 2022, including organic waste collection requirements specified in Article 3, Chapter 12 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations; and
WHEREAS, Section 18984.12(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations requires CalRecycle to grant an exemption from compliance with the organic waste collection requirements specified in Article 3, Chapter 12 of the SB 1383 Regulations to jurisdictions that meet the definition of a “rural jurisdiction” in Public Resources Code Section 42649.8 if the jurisdiction adopts a resolution that includes a finding as to the purpose of and need for the exemption; and WHEREAS, Public Resources Code Section 42649.8 defines “rural jurisdiction” as a jurisdiction that is located entirely within one or more rural counties, and which further defines “rural county” as a county that has a total population of less than 70,000 persons; and WHEREAS, the City meets the definition of “rural jurisdiction” as it is entirely located in Amador County, California, which had a population of 40,474 as of April 1, 2020 as reported by the U.S.
Census Bureau for the 2020 Census and an estimated population of 37,377 on January 1, 2021 as reported by the California Department of Finance at the time of this Resolution; and WHEREAS, the City Council must adopt a resolution that includes a finding as to the purpose of and need for the exemption in order to apply for such an exemption; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that adopting this Resolution for the purpose of exempting the City from the requirements of Article 3, Chapter 12 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations is necessary because it will result in cost savings and savings in staff time from not having to implement said requirements and keep solid waste collection rates for customers lower.
WHEREAS, such an exemption shall be valid until December 31, 2026 or until five (5) years after CalRecycle makes a determination that the statewide disposal of organic waste has not been reduced to 50 percent of the level of disposal during the 2014 calendar year, whichever is later.

1. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.
2. The City Council hereby elects to exempt the City of Sutter Creek from the organic waste collection requirements specified in Article 3, Chapter 12 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, pursuant to Section 18984.12(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
3. The City Council declares the purpose and need for the rural exemption pursuant to Section 18984.12(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations is to realize cost savings and savings in staff time from not having to implement the organic waste collection requirements under Article 3, Chapter 12 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, and to keep solid waste collection rates for customers lower.
4. The rural exemption shall take effect on January 1, 2022, and shall be valid until December 31, 2026, or until five (5) years after CalRecycle makes a determination that the statewide disposal of organic waste has not been reduced to 50 percent of the level of disposal during the 2014 calendar year, whichever is later.

FROM: MATT OSPITAL, CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: ROAD VACATION OF PROSPERITY COURT
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize City staff to proceed with the process to allow City Council to consider vacation of Prosperity Court right of way and dedicate the vacated portion to the “Jackson Rancheria Development Corporation (JRCD).”
DISCUSSION:
The City has received a request from Jackson Rancheria to vacate Prosperity Court (approximately 36,660 s.f. or 0.84 acres). This court was constructed as part of the Prospect Drive realignment project. It currently serves as access to only the Rancheria’s parcel (APN 044-020-041). There is also an existing City owned street light at the end of the Court which would become part of the vacation of property.
The “vacation process,” pursuant to the Streets and Highways Code, sets forth specific notification requirements to be followed including “posting” of the City Council’s action schedule. It is therefore requested that the City staff be authorized to proceed with the process that will ultimately result in a public hearing before the City Council and adoption of a resolution that would, subject to City Council findings, authorize the vacation and dedication to JRDC.
Fair compensation from JRCD for this property needs to be discussed by the Council and whether or not an appraisal of the subject property is warranted.

STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY
COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 3, 2022
FROM: AMY GEDNEY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: PROPOSITION 68 FUNDING
RECOMMENDATION:
Provide staff direction.
BACKGROUND:
At the December 6th, 2021 meeting, the Council was asked to approve a resolution to submit an application for Proposition 68 funding.
The grant requirements are as follows:
• The grant funds must be used for park acquisition or development of recreational infrastructure; Projects not serving a disadvantaged community will require a 20% match of the total project cost;
• The funding allocated cannot supplant existing funds; • A project status report must be submitted every six months to the Office of Grants and Local Services until the project completion packet is submitted; • A funded by Proposition 68 sign must be displayed throughout construction and four years after completion; and
• A deed restriction on the project location is also required.
Staff also sent an email requesting project ideas.
Council member Rianda submitted:
Council member Sierk submitted:
1) Explore the matching grant amount needed to complete a graveled pedestrian path/walkway along Gopher Flat to connect sidewalks already in place. This would be from the west end of the duplexes west of Manor Court to the sidewalk just east of Broad Street.
2) Establish a pedestrian pathway from Walgreens’ corner on the NW side down into town along the west side of Old HWY 49.
2 Councilmember Rianda submitted the following:
1) a planned trailway/walking path that connects the different parts of town. 2) a trail between SC and Amador City.
3) a walking track around the park at Bryson
4) a path between Sutter Crest and downtown.
5) Or, fixing up Central Eureka Mine and maybe path from there into town DISCUSSION:
Subsequently, staff also had a meeting with the administrative staff of this program funding to understand project eligibility, timing commitments, etc Staff is asking for direction from the Council regarding what project to submit. Staff would also like to submit restroom construction for the Boitano parking lot for consideration as well.
The Per Capita Program may require local matching funds depending on the project area. If the project is not serving a severely disadvantaged community (median household income less than 60 percent of the statewide average), a 20 percent match is required. Depending on where the project is located, determines the match. For example the restrooms would require a match as would Gopher Flat.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The action proposed herein is an application for funding and not the construction of a project.
Accordingly, the authorization to apply for grants is exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3). The appropriate level of CEQA analysis for the construction of the proposed project will be a part of the scope of work for the proposed project and determined at the appropriate time.
