NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL SERVICE

RATE SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS
(Please share this information with tenants)
Hearing Date & Time: March 16, 2022 at 6:15 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard Hearing Location: City of Ukiah, Council Chambers
300 Seminary Avenue, Ukiah, CA 95482
The City of Ukiah City Council (“City”) will conduct a public hearing on March 16, 2022, on proposed increases in the monthly solid waste collection and disposal (solid waste) rates applicable to all parcels in the City of Ukiah, including the parcel for which you are shown as the property owner of record based on the County of Mendocino 2021-22 Secured Tax Roll, and/or at which you are shown as the customer billed for solid waste service. If adopted, the rate increases will be reflected on utility bills dated on or after April 1, 2022, and for bills issued on or after January 1, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.

This Notice of Public Hearing provides information regarding the proposed rate adjustment to the City’s solid waste collection and disposal service customers pursuant to the requirements of California Constitution Article XIII D Section 6 (commonly referred to as Proposition 218). The proposed rate adjustments will be presented to the City Council for consideration and possible adoption on March 16, 2022, commencing at 6:15 p.m. in the Council Chambers located at 300 Seminary Avenue. This notice also provides information on how rates are calculated, the reasons for the proposed rate adjustments, how customers can receive more information on the effect of the proposed rate adjustments on their solid waste collection and disposal service, and how to file a protest against the proposed rate adjustments. At the public hearing, the City Council will consider all written protests against the proposed fee or charge, and all other comments submitted in writing prior to the hearing or expressed during the hearing.

The Amount of the Fee Imposed on Each Parcel:

The proposed rates, as of March 16, 2022, are outlined in the Schedule A below. During the next four years, including January 2023, January 2024, January 2025, and January 2026 the rates may increase or decrease based on the following changes to indexes and pass-through costs: (1) the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, “Water and Sewer and Trash Collection Services” (“CPI”) over the previous year June over June, (2) the percentage change, June over June of the previous year, in the Energy Information Administration Petroleum & Other Liquids index over the base year ending June 30, 2021, (3) any changes to the gate fee at the Ukiah Transfer Station, (4) any changes to costs paid by the franchisee to process recyclables, and (5) changes in regulatory fees, all in accordance with the Contract for Collection, Transportation and Disposal of Garbage, Refuse and Rubbish and Recycling of Recyclable Materials from within the City of Ukiah (“Waste Collection Contract”) between the City and Ukiah Waste Solutions, Inc., a private company. After the January 2022 [?] rate increase, the rates will automatically increase or decrease each year in accordance with the Waste Collection Contract, which will be available for inspection at the Civic Center.

The Reason for and Basis Upon Which the Fee Increase was Calculated:

Ukiah Waste Solutions (UWS), the City’s franchised solid waste collector, has requested rate increases pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Waste Collection Contract based on cost increases and revenue decreases which are solely the result of extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of UWS that it could not have been reasonably anticipated and which unavoidably adversely affect its opportunity to operate at a reasonable profit. The rate increases identified in Schedule A were calculated after considering the franchisee’s rate request, studying the reviewed financial statements and carefully evaluating the changes in costs to meet regulatory requirements, the recycling market, transportation, and other operating costs of Ukiah Waste Solutions for the year ending December 31, 2020. Further detail on how these rates were calculated is available on the City’s website at http://www.cityofukiah.com/utility-services/
Submit a Written Protest: City Clerk, 300 Seminary Avenue, Ukiah, CA 95482 An owner or tenant of property receiving solid waste service from the City may protest the proposed solid waste collection and disposal rates by submitting a written protest by mail or in person to the City Clerk. Notices must be mailed to City Clerk, City of Ukiah, Ukiah Civic Center, 300 Seminary Avenue, Ukiah, CA 95482 or delivered in person to the Utility Billing and Customer Service counter at the Civic Center. Written protests must be received (not postmarked) by the City Clerk before or during the public hearing. Any protest submitted by e-mail or other electronic means will not be accepted. To be valid, protests must be signed by the property owner or tenant and must identify the property by street address or Mendocino County Assessor’s Parcel Number of the property receiving solid waste service. Only one written protest per identified parcel or property will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a majority protest. In accordance with California Constitution, Article 13D, Section 6(a)(2), if, by the close of the public hearing, written protests against the proposed solid waste collection and disposal rates are filed by a majority of the affected property owners, the City Council will not approve the proposed solid waste rates. The City reserves the right to verify whether any person filing a protest is an owner or a renter legally obligated to pay the fee. To assist with this verification, the City requests inclusion of the applicable utility account number on the protest.

Summary: The City Council will consider introducing, by title only, the Ordinance Amending Article 8 of Chapter 2, Division 2 of the Ukiah City Code to Regulate Shopping Cart Containment, Retrieval, Impoundment, and Disposal.

Background: On April 4, 2018, the Ukiah City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1187 (Attachment 1), adding Article 8 to Chapter 2, Division 2 and Article 11 to Chapter 1, Division 7 to the Ukiah City Code (UCC) to regulate shopping cart containment and retrieval. It was subsequently amended through Ordinance No. 1191 (Attachment 2). Within the City of Ukiah, there are 23 identified entities that utilize shopping carts as a component of their business, and that are subject to the City’s Shopping Cart regulations.

The associated shopping cart regulations became effective May 4, 2018. As of January 1, 2019, 14 businesses (70%) were in compliance with shopping cart plan requirements. The remaining businesses were referred to the City Attorney's Office for code enforcement or associated legal proceedings. In general, the Ordinance appeared initially effective in reducing the number of abandoned carts during the first year of implementation (2019), and notably reduced cart retrieval pressures on the Ukiah Police Department (UPD).

Enforcement and administrative responsibilities, however, increased for the Community Development Department (CDD), Public Works Department (PWD), and City Attorney's Office.

As of September 21, 2021, only 7 businesses were fully compliant with the City of Ukiah’s Shopping Cart Policy. As additional shopping cart purveyors were identified, the compliance rate dropped to 30%. Staff had also seen an uptick in the number of carts stored by PWD, indicating that cart retrieval and abandonment was again becoming an issue. Based on current records, it is difficult to determine the pace at which abandoned carts were accumulating, but the total stored by Public Works increased to 143 abandoned carts as of July 21, 2021.

During development of the original Ordinance, it was believed that the required biennial renewal process would be relatively straightforward and involve little effort by Staff or the affected businesses. In 2020, Staff approached renewal efforts from this standpoint, sending courtesy letters to each business and making at least one follow-up call to each business that had not yet renewed their plan. While Staff received responses from the majority of businesses, these renewal efforts required substantial time by CDD Staff and the City Attorney's Office. Given the current number of abandoned shopping carts accumulated at that time, it was

Page 527 of 575 ends

Page 2 of 3 ends

unclear if these renewal efforts were effective. While there are reasons specific to each business, a review of past correspondence indicates the difficulty of implementing store-specific policies due to regional or national brand requirements, lack of managerial authority to implement policy changes, and turnover in staff. Recent efforts to engage businesses to address abandoned carts or ineffective plans have been summarily ignored.

Upon receiving the required annual update at their regular meeting on October 6, 2021, the City Council directed Staff to return with a revised ordinance to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the shopping cart containment program.

Discussion: While multiple City Departments are engaged in efforts to address abandoned shopping carts, ambiguity related to compliance, enforcement, and penalties has made it difficult to establish an effective and coordinated effort to achieve the primary goal of the policy, which is to limit the number of shopping carts removed from storefronts and public spaces. Many of the provisions of the 2018 ordinance were based upon input from the business community and expected intergovernmental programming between the City and the County. Unfortunately, shared policies were never adopted, thereby increasing the City's administrative burden and allowing for a lack of coordinated enforcement of cart purveyors within the Ukiah Valley. Much like pollution or traffic, abandoned shopping carts do not recognize municipal boundaries or jurisdictions.

Since 2018, staff has observed the following with regard to abandoned shopping carts:
 Collecting and storing carts within the City of Ukiah Corporation Yard (adjacent to the Ukiah Municipal Airport) has created significant operational burdens for Public Works staff. It has also exacerbated the administrative burden on Community Development staff, who are tasked with reviewing, approving and renewing cart retention programs for shopping cart purveyors, but with few responses or engagement on the topic.
 In general, the necessity of tagging carts with the date of collection and organizing them within the Corporation Yard for efficient return has proven to be unworkable, as carts are collected in miscellaneous groups which would require additional sorting and inventory management for which no staff are tasked or identified.
 Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (COVID), the retrieval of abandoned carts by businesses was sporadic and infrequent. For many, it is logistically infeasible to collect carts since businesses have neither the personnel nor equipment to collect and transport abandoned carts back to their source.

Even for the retailers that did collect carts, which was uncommon, their returned carts were often destroyed due to the cost of cleaning or repair. (Notably, the installation of a perimeter lock system increases the cost of individual cart repair.)
 During COVID, the rate of retrieval by retailers dropped precipitously. Whether this was due to staffing constraints, corporate policy, or cleaning requirements, the number of abandoned carts accumulating within the Corporation Yard was exacerbated and complicated by the pandemic.  Increasingly, the enforcement of the existing abandoned shopping cart ordinance has created an undue burden on City resources, including both personnel costs and physical space for the storage of impounded carts that are seldom reclaimed by businesses, or that require substantial noncompensated scheduling to arrange for pickup.

While the 2018 shopping cart ordinance was crafted with a great deal of deference to the business community, its effectiveness has waned, especially during the pandemic. The proposed revisions to the ordinance (Attachment 3) recognize the current reality and seek to lower the administrative burden on staff and increase the ability to remove abandoned carts from our community spaces by:
 Allowing City staff to collect and immediately dispose of abandoned carts found on public property.

Carts retrieved by City Staff can be taken directly to the dump for recycling and disposal along with other waste or debris. This eliminates the problems associated with the need to tag, store, and crush carts. It also ensures that the number of accumulated carts cannot grow to an unmanageable level within the Corporation Yard. A similar policy was codified recently by the City of Eureka. Notably, the

Page 528 of 575 ends

Page 3 of 3 ends

County of Mendocino Code Enforcement Division maintains a comparable approach to abandoned cart disposal.
 Eliminating the need for retailers to develop retention plans that require review and approval by the City, but for which no fee or staff reimbursement has been identified. Instead, the revised ordinance would rely heavily on the monetary disincentive of fees and fines, which the City can set at a later date.

In Staff's opinion, these changes will streamline the City’s ability to remove abandoned carts from public areas and place the burden of paying for this service on the source agents where the carts originate. The City will no longer be in the position of policing retailers' cart retention efforts, tagging and storing carts, sending notices and coordinating retrievals and will instead spend our limited staffing directly addressing the blight of abandoned carts in the most efficient way possible. A redlined version of the proposed Ordinance is included herein as Attachment 3, and a clean version as Attachment 4.

Recommended Action: Introduce by title only, the Ordinance Amending Article 8 of Chapter 2, Division 2 of the Ukiah City Code to Regulate Shopping Cart Containment, Retrieval, Impoundment, and Disposal.

At its meeting on November 19, 2020, the Mendocino County ALUC directed ALUC staff and Mead & Hunt to revise the draft UKIALUCP as recommended by the Ukiah City Council. At the May 20, 2021, Council meeting, Council adopted the new ALUC that included the future runway protection zones.

Discussion: Staff with the direction of Council has asked Mead & Hunt, Inc.(Consultant) to determine the feasibility of extending Ukiah Municipal Airport’s (Airport) Runway 15/33 to a total length of 5,000 feet; this would require an extension of 577 feet. This study is funded by the Airport with no participation from the FAA.

This study will not include an aviation activity forecasting element. The study will assume that the Airport will remain as an FAA category B-II airport with approach visibility minimums as low as 1-¼ mile (Runway 15) and visual (Runway 33).

The study (Attachment 1, Ukiah Runway Study) will perform a geometric exercise for the physical configuration of a 5,000’x75’ runway. The following will be analyzed / considered:
a. Analyze how the runway could fit on existing property, including required FAA safety areas and standards.
b. If existing property is inadequate, the study will look at what areas of land would need to be acquired. c. Analysis will result in up to five alternative configurations. d. Consultants will develop one 11x17 graphic for up to five alternative configurations.

The fee for the services described in this scope is $36,500, to be billed monthly on a percent complete basis.

1. Proposed MWELO Ordinance
Summary: Council will consider introducing, by title only, an ordinance adopting the California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.

Background: Staff is bringing this item forward to secure compliance with the State of California’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO). The MWELO is a state regulation, enacted in 1993 as part of the 1990 Water Conservation and Landscaping Act that is designed to prevent water from being wasted on landscape irrigation, as nearly half of the water directed to urban areas is used on irrigated landscapes. Additional information about MWELO, including a link to the Model Ordinance under MWELO References titled "2015 Updated Chapter

2.7: Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance," can be found on the following website:
https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/Urban-Water-Use-Efficiency/Model-Water-EfficientLandscape-Ordinance.

The MWELO is also referenced by Title 24, Part 11 of CalGreen Building Code. Applying to residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional projects requiring a permit, plan check, or design review, MWELO directs Land Use Authorities (cities and counties) to ensure MWELO compliance on development projects with landscaped areas of 500 square feet or more or rehabilitation of existing landscape areas greater than 2,500 square feet.

California Assembly Bill 1881 (AB 1881), enacted into law on September 28, 2008, modified and strengthened MWELO for local agencies to adopt and use for the purpose of reducing water waste associated with irrigation of outdoor landscaping. AB 1881 required the State Department of Water Resources to provide guidelines for cities and counties to adopt the MWELO or more stringent local landscape irrigation ordinances in 2010.

Governor Brown's Drought Executive Order of April 1, 2015 (EO B-29-15) mandated the Department of Water Resources prepare an update to the state's MWELO, which the California Water Commission adopted on July 15, 2015.

Discussion: Although Staff has implemented MWELO requirements since the codification of MWELO in Title 24, part 11 of CalGreen Building Standards, full compliance with MWELO requires the City adopt a local WELO. The City has not previously adopted such an ordinance. Once the MWELO is adopted, full compliance also requires the City submit annual reports to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) regarding MWELO implementation updates. Staff intends to immediately submit annual reports to DWR if the Ordinance is adopted by Council.

Staff recommends Council introduce, by title only, the Ordinance in Attachment 1, which would add Article 6 to Chapter 1, Division 3 of Ukiah City Code. Once adopted, the City will be in compliance with MWELO state regulations.

2. Proposed Electric Vehicle Charging System Permit Ordinance Summary: Council will consider possibly introducing, by title only, an ordinance setting forth procedures for expediting permit processing for electric vehicle charging systems.

Background: In 2015, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 1236 (2015, Chiu, Codified as Government Code Section 65850.7), which requires local jurisdictions with a population less than 200,000 residents to adopt an ordinance to create an expedited, streamlined permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations on or before September 30, 2017.

AB 1236 amended Government Code Section 65850.7 to require jurisdictions with a population less than 200,000 residents to establish procedures for expedited, streamlined processes for permitting of electric vehicle charging stations. The amendments to Section 65850.7 include the requirement for a jurisdiction to adopt an ordinance for the expedited, streamlined process on or before September 30, 2017. The ordinance is to include the requirement that a jurisdiction adopt a checklist of requirements with which a permit application for an electric vehicle charging station will be eligible for expedited review.

This process includes the establishment of a checklist containing objective requirements for the installation of an electric vehicle charging station and a process for electronic submittal of permit applications. The content of the checklist requires the permit applicant to check the features of the existing electrical service such as rating in amperes, system voltage, connected or calculated load, spare capacity in amperes, voltage and ampere rating of the electric vehicle supply equipment, circuit rating of the electric vehicle supply equipment, location of the electric vehicle supply equipment, if ventilation is/or is not required, and clearances of the charging equipment to comply with all applicable building and fire safety laws. The checklist also assists the applicant in confirming that the location of the electric vehicle supply equipment will comply with any vehicle clearance requirements in the City’s Zoning Ordinance. Government Code Section 65850.7 requires that a city's checklist may be based on the “Plug-In Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Permitting Checklist” of the “ZeroEmission Vehicles in California: Community Readiness Guidebook” of the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.

AB 1236 also clarifies that a jurisdiction shall not condition approval of a permit for an electric vehicle charging station based on the approval of an association as defined in California Civil Code, Section 4080.

Discussion: The Building Division of the Community Development Department has been implementing the requirements of AB 1236 since it went into effect in 2015, including the development and use of an objective

checklist (Attachment 1). However, the Ordinance and its requirements were never adopted by the City.

Staff recommends that Council introduce, by title only, the proposed Ordinance in Attachment 2 adding Chapter 3 to Division 3 of Ukiah City Code setting forth procedures for expediting permit processing for electric vehicle charging systems.

Recommended Action: Introduce, by title only, an Ordinance setting forth procedures for expediting permit processing for electric vehicle charging systems.
