9. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENDA
A. Wastewater Rate Payer Study Base Case
Mark Hildebrand, sewer rate consultant, provided a recap of the 2019 plan and presented the forecasted model with best- and worst-case scenarios.

Mike Kirkley of Sutter Creek asked if the new set of increases would nullify the previously approved increases. Questioned putting money into the ARSA system that would be abandoned.

Seems premature for a rate increase with no set numbers.

City Manager Tom DuBois noted that the intent would be to invest as little as possible into the ARSA system and clarified that this is not driven by growth, it is an old system but will eventually run out of capacity. He also noted that it became clear that 2% is not going to cover it as it is less than inflation this year, doing it now to build up reserves to prepare for one of these options.

B. 40 Broad Street Exemption
City Manager Tom DuBois noted that the DRC approved demolition of the garage and the Planning Commission approved with the conditions of approval and is coming to Council to review the lot split.

Mike Kirkley commented that it seems like the applicant is asking for a variance, so they don’t have the expense of adding parking and questioned if the city wants to keep encouraging lot splits with no parking.

The Council discussed the need to require off street parking.

M/S Council member Riordan/Swift to refer back to the Planning Commission to reconsider the conditions of approval to include a requirement for parking on the exemption property.

AYES: Feist, Riordan, and Swift
NOES: Gunselman
ABSTAIN: None
ABSENT: Sierk

MOTION CARRIED
C. 290 Spanish Exemption
Council member Riordan stepped down from this item due to a conflict of interest.

City Manager Tom DuBois presented, noting that after the lot split, the home in the will be non-conforming due to a non-compliant set back.

M/S Council member Swift/Feist to Adopt Resolution 23-24-24 Approving an exception to the Zoning Ordinance 18.16. (setbacks) for Vesting Tentative Parcel Map #2871.

AYES: Feist, Swift and Gunselman
NOES: None
ABSTAIN: Riordan
ABSENT: Sierk

MOTION CARRIED
D. Emergency Pool Repair Discussion
City Manager Tom DuBois presented an overview of the state of the pool and the conditions of the lease with the school district.

Council member Riordan noted his displeasure with the lack of partnership with the School District.

Mayor Gunselman noted her agreement with Council member Riordan in regard to the lack of partnership with the School District that having the pool open this summer is important to residents all over the county and that the $5,000 from ACRA is not enough. She suggested community fundraising could be successful although it could not happen before the pool opens for the summer.

Mike Kirkley commented that the pool is a county resource, and all players should be paying to maintain it.

The Council directed staff to meet with the School District to request that they contribute an equal share towards the pool repair.

10. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Council member Swift reported that there is a Fire District meeting tomorrow and suggested that the meeting table set up be changed to open it up to be more inclusive to the public. He also noted that he will be attending the upcoming LAFCO meeting.

Summary of Violations
During the calendar year of 2A23 the treatment facility had no excursions.

Biosoilds and Screenings Disposal
For the calendar year of 2023 the city disposed of 59.Lg tons of dewatered digested sludge and 180 cubic yards of primary screenings
Comparison of Average Dry lfleather Flows to the Discharge Specifications The average dry weather influent flows were only 0.361 mgd. The yearly average daily flow was 0.458 mgd. Both these flows are below the discharge specification of 0.48 mgd. The yearly average daily flow of 0.458 mgd was mainly due to the extreme winter af 2022-2023 were the treatment plant received 52 inches of rain. The average Annual rainfall in Sutter Creek is 30 inches.

Forecast of Future Influent Flows
Comparingwith the lastthree years of total annual flow,ZAZL had.393 mgd,2022 had.3B3 mgd and 2023 had.458 mgd. Comparing with the last three years of average dry weather flows [ADWF), 20ZL had,.353 mgd, 2AZZ had.340 mgd and ZA23 had .361 With the small amount of building projected for Sutter Creek a flow increase other than one driven by weather does not seem like there will be more than a minimal flow increase. And we are still under the 0.48 MGD ADIVF design capacity.

Calibration
All flow recording devices have been annually calibrated by Tesco Controls Inc [see attached certificates].

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: APRIL 2, 2024
FROM: MASON PETERS, FINANCE SUPERVISOR
SUBJECT: PARKS IMPACT FEE UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION:

Direct staff to increase the Parks Impact Fee to be current with inflation since 2009.

BACKGROUND:

In 2007, a Resolution was signed to establish a Parks Impact Fee of $8,670. In the provisions of establishing the Parks Impact Fee, it is stated that each year, on July 1st, the fee would increase according to the inflationary figure listed in the Engineering News-Record (ENR) along with all other Impact Fees.

DISCUSSION:

The current Impact Fee workbook has history back to 2009, where it shows the Parks Impact Fee as $8,760 (it was originally entered incorrectly). Since 2009, that fee has stayed the same until 2022, when the Finance Supervisor updated the rate with the inflationary figure stated in the ENR. Based on Resolution 06-07-26, the Parks Impact Fee should have been increasing with inflation since its inception. If we were to increase the Park Impact Fee from the approved $8,670 to include the inflationary rates from 2009 – 2021, the fee would be $13,700.65 as of July 1, 2024. If we were not to increase the Parks Impact Fee to reflect past inflation, the fee would be $9,716.38 as of July 1, 2024.

Included with this Staff Report is Figure A (Resolution 06-07-26).

BUDGET IMPACT:

The retroactive increase would have a large impact on new construction fees, increasing our accumulation of AB1600 funds.

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: APRIL 2, 2024
FROM: MASON PETERS, FINANCE SUPERVISOR
SUBJECT: IMPACT FEE ENR ADJUSTMENT
RECOMMENDATION:

Direct staff to provide notice of a public hearing to hear public comments regarding a proposed impact fee adjustment to be effective July 1, 2024. This item is not for approval of fees, but solely to direct staff to notice the public hearing regarding approval.

BACKGROUND:

Development impact fees are established in conformance with the requirements of Government Code Section 66000 (et seq.), referred to as the Mitigation Fee Act (MFA). Fees established under the MFA may be used to fund public facilities needed to serve new development. Impact fees are paid by developers for new development or for a change to a more intensive use (e.g., warehouse to office), typically at the time of building permit issuance. Impact fees cannot, however, be used to correct an existing public facility deficiency or for the ongoing operations and maintenance costs of these facilities.

The City of Sutter Creek adopted its Capital Facilities Fees Impact Fee Report in 2008. That report outlined the nexus for collecting fees at building permit issuance to offset the impacts that new development will have on the City’s infrastructure. Those fees are known as “brick and mortar” fees and are then used to construct the new infrastructure. The City’s adopted development impact fees include:

Police Capital Facilities Fee
This fee is collected to provide funding for the construction of a police station, police vehicles, parking facilities, communication systems, and equipment.

Fire Capital Facilities Fee
This fee is collected for construction of a new fire facility, fire trucks, a fire engine, and special equipment.

This fee is collected to accumulate funds to be used in preserving historic structures in the City.

City Hall Capital Facilities Fee
This fee is collected to provide funding for the construction of a new city hall.

Corporation Yard Capital Facilities Fees
This fee is collected to provide funding for a fair-share portion of the cost to construct facilities for a new corporation yard.

Program Update Fee
This fee is collected for future updates of the Nexus Study to ensure that the facilities, costs, and fees in the Fee Program are current and accurate. A new study should be considered to reflect current infrastructure and facility needs.

Administration Capital Facilities Fee
This fee is collected for the administration of the CFF Program. This includes preparation of an Annual CFF Program Report, preparation of a Five-Year CFF Report, day-to-day management of the CFF Program including preparation of annual CIP budgets, CFF Program annual inflationary updates, land value analyses and updates and CFF Program Proformas.

Traffic Mitigation Fee
There are two traffic mitigation fees collected, one for local roads and the other for regional roads. The local fee is collected to offset the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of new development projects on the City of Sutter Creek’s road systems. The regional fee is collected for the Amador County Transportation Commission (ACTC).

Amador County Parks and Recreation Fee
This fee is collected to provide funding for park capital improvements. The Master Plan is currently being updated.

Once fees are adopted, they should be reviewed and adjusted annually, if necessary, to account for inflationary increases and decreases to ensure that the fees being collected are adequate to construct the facilities needed created by the impact. The fees were last updated July 1, 2023.

DISCUSSION:

To ensure that the capital facilities fees adequately cover new development’s share of the public facilities identified in the fee program, staff recommended that Council establish a process to annually adjust the development impact fees and to utilize the Engineering News RecordConstruction Cost Index as the inflation index for calculating this annual fee adjustment, which the Council approved.

Table A below shows the 2023 ENR increase of the fee program for all development. Staff is recommending that effective July 1, 2024, the impact fees for all development be increased as 18 Main St., Sutter Creek, CA 95685 • Telephone: (209)267-5647 • Fax: (209)267-0639 • TTY: 711 The City of Sutter Creek is an equal opportunity service provider and employer shown in Table A. However, if council approves the Parks Fee increase to account for inflation from 2009 – 2021, staff is recommending that effective July 1, 2024, the impact fees for all development be increased as shown in Table B.

State law requires a minimum 60-day period prior to implementation of MFA fees after City Council adoption. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council direct staff to provide a notice of a public hearing to allow the public to provide comments on the proposed increase.

BUDGET IMPACT:

The purpose of the increase is to ensure that the fees keep pace with increase in capital costs.

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: APRIL 2, 2024
FROM: TOM DUBOIS, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE A COMMENT LETTER OPPOSING AT&T'S

APPLICATION TO THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC

UTILITIES COMMISSION TO HAVE THEIR CARRIER

OF LAST RESORT OBLIGATION REMOVED
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached draft letter (Attachment 1) to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) opposing AT&T's application to have its Carrier of Last Resort Obligation removed.

BACKGROUND:

AT&T has filed an application with the CPUC to be relieved of its Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) obligations in certain areas of California, including most of Amador County and all of the City of Sutter Creek. If approved, AT&T California would no longer be required to offer landline telephone service where it is currently required to offer Basic Services in those areas.

A COLR is a telecommunications service provider that provides basic telephone service, commonly landline telephone service, to any customer requesting such service within a specified area. At least one telephone company in a specified area is legally required to provide access to telephone service to anyone in its service territory who requests it. AT&T is the designated COLR in many parts of California, including the City of Sutter Creek. Where AT&T is the default landline telephone service provider it must provide traditional landline telephone service to any potential customer. AT&T is proposing to withdraw as the COLR in the City's service area.

An area without a COLR could mean that there would be no landline telephone company serving the area.

If the CPUC accepts AT&T's proposal, then no COLR would be required to provide basic service in the City.

Attachment 2 is the information provided on CPUC's webpage about AT&T's application regarding its COLR application. Attachment 3 is the Notice of Pending Regulatory Application issued by AT&T to its customers.
18 Main St., Sutter Creek, CA 95685 • Telephone: (209)267-5647 • Fax: (209)267-0639 • TTY: 711 The City of Sutter Creek is an equal opportunity service provider and employer The City of Sutter Creek is located in the Sierra Foothills and many residents lack consistent and reliable wireless service. Particularly, during severe storms and other emergency events, residents have experienced extended periods of time without cellular service.

For those with unreliable cellular service, landlines remain the last means for contacting emergency services. Many of these residents maintain their landlines as an option of last resort when all other means of communication are down.

CONCLUSION
AT&T's application to be relieved of its COLR obligations has raised concerns and opposition around the State. Attachment 4 is a letter from Members of Congress to the CPUC. Many surrounding counties have issued letters opposed to the change, including Amador County. Opposing AT&T's application will add the City's voice to those expressing concern to the CPUC. 18 Main St., Sutter Creek, CA 95685 • Telephone: (209)267-5647 • Fax: (209)267-1655 • TTY: 711 The City of Sutter Creek is an equal opportunity service provider and employer CPUC Public Advisor's Office 505 Van

Re: Proceeding No. A.23-03-003
Dear CPUC,
I am writing on behalf of the City Council of the City of Sutter Creek to express our concerns about AT&T's application to be relieved of its Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) obligations.

The City of Sutter Creek is in the Sierra Foothills in Amador County, and many of our residents lack constant and reliable wireless service on the best weather days. In emergency events, such as severe storms, fires, and flooding, residents have experienced days without cellular service.

Landlines remain the last means for contacting emergency services and receiving emergency updates when other services fail. For that reason, many residents maintain their landlines as an option of last resort for use in an emergency.

In its consideration of this application, the City requests that the CPUC deny the application because of the limiting effect it will have on potentially life- dependent emergency communications.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Tom DuBois
City Manager

Proceedings A.23-03-002 and A.23-03-003
Carrier of Last Resort (COLR)
AT&T has requested to be relieved of its Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) obligations in certain areas of California. If approved, AT&T California (landline service, separate from cellular) would no longer be required to offer landline telephone service where it is currently required to offer Basic Service in those areas. Basic Service includes nine service elements such as Lifeline rates for eligible customers, free access to 9-1-1, Telephone Relay Service, and directory and operator services. More information on Basic Service is available at here.

What is a COLR?
A COLR is a telecommunications service provider that stands ready to provide basic telephone service, commonly landline telephone service, to any customer requesting such service within a specified area. At least one telephone company in a specified area is legally required to provide access to telephone service to anyone in its service territory who requests it. This is known as the Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) obligation, which ensures that everyone in California has access to safe, reliable, and affordable telephone service. AT&T is the designated COLR in many parts of the state and is the largest COLR in California. Where AT&T is the default landline telephone service provider means that the company must provide traditional landline telephone service to any potential customer in that service territory. AT&T is proposing to withdraw as the COLR in your area without a new carrier being designated as a COLR.

What areas are impacted by AT&T’s request to withdraw as a COLR? Here is the list of census designated places where AT&T is requesting to withdraw as the designated COLR and here is an online version of the map with address lookup.

What might happen if AT&T withdraws as a COLR?
An area without a COLR could mean that there would be no landline telephone company serving that area and that there could possibly be no landline telephone access for customers in that area. If AT&T’s proposal were accepted as set forth in its application, then no COLR would be required to provide basic service in your area. This does not necessarily mean that no carriers would, in fact, provide service in your area—only that they would not be required to do so. Other outcomes are possible, such as another carrier besides AT&T volunteering to become the COLR in your area, or the CPUC denying AT&T’s proposal. Refer to Application 23-03-003 for more information on AT&T’s request.

Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (ETC) Designation
In addition, on March 3, 2023, AT&T requested to give up its designation as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (ETC).

Refer to Application 23-03-002 for more information, as well as the Administrative Law Judge’s January 12, 2024 ruling establishing a revised schedule for this proceeding and the Assigned Commissioner’s September 20, 2023 Scoping Memo setting forth the issues in the proceeding.

What is an ETC?
An ETC is a telephone company operating in a specific geographic area, that receives financial assistance from the federal government-established Universal Service Fund to provide high quality, and affordable telephone service to customers at all income levels in specific geographic areas. One example of a program funded by the Universal Service Fund is federal Lifeline. While funding for this program is provided by the federal government, each state determines a telephone company’s eligibility for ETC designation. In California, a company’s eligibility for these federal funds is determined by the CPUC.

SEARCH
Does an ETC provide California LifeLine?
In California, the CPUC also approves and denies applications for state funding for programs to provide universal support, including California LifeLine (California’s program is called LifeLine with a capital “L” for “Line”). The California LifeLine program is separate from the federal Lifeline program. An ETC may be a provider of California LifeLine as well as federal Lifeline, but eligibility to provide California LifeLine is not limited to only ETC providers.

What is AT&T’s request in this application?
AT&T is applying to give up its ETC designation, which would allow it to no longer offer federal Lifeline, as well as other federal programs designed to subsidize telecommunications support for low-income individuals and individuals located in remote areas. AT&T’s participation in the California LifeLine program is a separate matter from this application to give up its ETC designation. AT&T asserts that it is not necessary to keep its ETC designation because it no longer receives any federal high-cost support from the federal government to provide universal service. By relinquishing its ETC designation, AT&T will no longer be eligible to receive federal support to provide Lifeline, which could potentially affect all current AT&T Lifeline customers.

What areas are impacted by AT&T’s request to give up its ETC designation? All areas of AT&T’s service territory where it currently holds ETC designation, which is the same as its Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) service territory, could be impacted if the CPUC approves AT&T’s application. Here is a map of the different COLR service territories in California, including AT&T’s.

What are the potential impacts on customers’ bills?
For a household receiving federal Lifeline from AT&T, the bill could increase by $5.25 per month for voice-only service, or $9.25 per month for bundled or internet service. In addition to these amounts, a household on Tribal lands receiving federal Lifeline from AT&T could experience an additional $25 per month bill increase.

What is required of AT&T for the CPUC to approve AT&T’s request? AT&T must demonstrate that another ETC provider can provide universal support in the areas where AT&T wishes to surrender its ETC designation. Refer to the docket card for Application A.23-03-002. For more information on Eligible Telecommunications Carrier designation, please visit this webpage.

Notice of Pending Regulatory Application
Application 23-03-003
<Mail Date>
AT&T California has submitted an application to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that, if approved, would remove AT&T’s obligation under California law to provide traditional landline phone service in a large portion of our service territory in California. This message explains what’s in AT&T's application and how to find out more information.

IMPORTANT: This letter describes an application that has not yet been approved by the CPUC. No changes are being made to your service at this time. We will let you know when and if any changes will affect your service.

Summary of AT&T’s Application for Relief from Carrier of Last Resort Obligation AT&T’s role as the default landline phone service provider (also known as the Carrier of Last Resort or COLR) means that we must provide traditional landline phone service to any potential customer in our service territory. In our application, AT&T has asked the CPUC to remove our role as the COLR in a large portion of AT&T’s service territory in California.

If the CPUC approves AT&T’s application as proposed, it would mean:

For Traditional Landline Phone Service Customers:
• AT&T would continue providing traditional landline phone service to existing customers until all federal and state regulatory processes are completed. AT&T has also committed to providing service to existing traditional landline phone customers for at least six months after the CPUC approves the application.
• AT&T would communicate with traditional landline phone customers about the process of changing your existing service to either a different voice service available from AT&T, or a voice service offered by another provider in your area.
• AT&T would remain the COLR in areas where no alternative voice services are yet available and continue to provide traditional landline phone service to our customers until proven alternatives become available.

For Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Customers:
• Customers with VoIP service could be affected in the future since approval of this application will be a first step towards AT&T transitioning to IP-enabled wireless and fiber networks.

IMPORTANT: This letter describes an application that has not yet been approved by the CPUC. No changes are being made to your service at this time. We will let you know when and if any changes will affect your service. • AT&T would communicate with VoIP customers prior to changing your existing service, if a change is necessary.
• If you have questions about which type of VoIP service you have and whether you could be impacted in the future, please call customer service at 800.288.2020.

For Wireless Customers:
• Wireless service would not be affected by this application.

Maps of Affected Areas Are Available
A map of your zip code showing affected areas is included with this notice, and an online version of the map is available with address lookup here: http://pub.att.com/COLRmap The map depicts 1) areas in AT&T California’s service territory in which AT&T seeks to withdraw as a COLR, and 2) areas where AT&T may seek to withdraw as a COLR in the future using a proposed streamlined advice letter process.

The CPUC’s Review Process
AT&T’s application is subject to approval by the CPUC. Multiple parties oppose this application. The Commission will evaluate the evidence from all parties, as well as public input, before deciding whether to approve the application. At the end of the process, the CPUC is expected to issue a final decision and vote on whether to approve the application.

Options to Provide Feedback on This Application to the CPUC The CPUC plans to gather public input about AT&T’s application, and it has scheduled public participation hearings in February and March 2024. You can find more information about upcoming public participation hearings here: https://www.cpuc.ca.gov/pph Customers may also share concerns with the CPUC in writing. Please visit apps.cpuc.ca.gov/c/A2303003 to submit a public comment in this proceeding’s Docket Card. You may also mail written comments to the CPUC’s Public Advisor’s Office at the address below.

Dear Ms. Reynolds:

On behalf of the constituents of the California Delegation, we raise serious concerns with AT&T’s applications to be relieved of its Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) obligations and to remove its Eligible Telecommunications Carrier (ETC) designation in areas of California. AT&T’s application to cease landline service in our communities threatens public safety in an area plagued by earthquakes, severe storms, floods, and fires and that has a geography that often disrupts cellular service for days, if not weeks, at a time. During these times, residents are only able to contact emergency services and obtain emergency updates via their landlines. In fact, many of these areas do not have reliable cellular service on a good weather day, at best. If AT&T’s petition is granted, we think an exception for residents who live in areas with unreliable cellular service, where they are prone to fires, earthquakes, flooding, and landslides is warranted.

Congress has repeatedly passed legislation seeking to address the worsening severity of natural disasters and their impact on our constituents. For example, in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Congress provided $500 million for hazardous fuels mitigation; $500 million for prescribed fires; $500 million for communities to implement a community wildfire defense plan; $5 billion for utilities to underground power lines, install fireresistant technologies, and expand the use of microgrids; and $3.5 billion for weatherization assistance to help homeowners make energy-efficient improvements that help fireproof their homes. Ensuring residents are able to communicate and reach emergency services during these natural disasters addresses the Congressional concern with mitigating the loss of life and property during these natural disasters that often require federal funds for remediation for the loss of property. There is no remediation possible for the loss of life.

CPUC’s stated mission is to ensure Californians have safe, reliable utility services. We do not believe that removing access to landlines is compatible with this mission. When catastrophic earthquakes, destructive fires, cataclysmic landslides, or ravaging floods happen residents are left without the electricity or working cellular towers necessary for cellular phone usage for days and weeks at a time. These disasters are not figurative or future possibilities. They happen regularly in this area of the country.

For example, this year already hundreds of thousands of Californians who were without power due to the Pineapple Express weather system storms, floods, and landslides. The earthquake of 2022 left Californians without power for such an extended period of time, people were unable to charge their cellular phones. The only way to call for emergency services and stay in touch with the outside world was via neighbors that had landlines. What will happen if these landlines are removed? How will people call for emergency service in a disaster or in areas with poor cellular reception?
As of the morning of February 7, 2024, you had over 3,000 comments asking you to deny the petition. We think these comments are worth consideration when determining whether to deny AT&T’s petition or to create an exception for residents who live in areas with unreliable cellular service, where they are prone to fires, earthquakes, flooding, and landslides.

As the CPUC considers AT&Ts proposal to discontinue lifesaving services, we think a clear-eyed analysis of the limitations of the cellular service in good conditions, and in the hilly and mountainous areas where disasters can cause prolonged power outages is necessary. We encourage you to fully and fairly consider the concerns from constituents in our districts about the impact the loss of land lines would have on the safety of our community.
