Summary: The Mayor will present selected employees with Exceptional Employee Recognition awards.
Background: The City of Ukiah prioritizes the retention and attraction of outstanding employees and recognizes their role in our goal of providing exceptional customer service. The Exceptional Employee Program, through a nomination process, recognizes and awards those employees or teams of employees who have truly gone above and beyond.
Once each quarter, nominations are considered from the categories of field crews, public safety, and administration.
Discussion: The recipients for the first quarter 2022 are as follows:
Kerry Randall, Facility Administrator; Michael Maldonado, Assistant Facility Administrator; Vicki Gilson, Facility Attendant: The Conference Center team was nominated by members of the public for their professionalism, dedication, and innovation in service to our community. The team assisted the Rotary Club of Lakeport in organizing and facilitating a social event and District Training Assembly for the northern California Rotary Club region in early April 2022. Staff were commended for their professionalism and flexibility during the complicated COVID-19 times. As well as being instrumental in the success of both events by making helpful suggestions and necessary accommodations all throughout the process. The team worked around the clock to insure the needs of the event coordinators and attendees were met, and even delivered extra breakfast and lunch meals from the event to the local homeless shelter on their own lunch break.
Kristine Lawler, City Clerk: Kristine was nominated by a City team member for her professionalism, innovation, and dedication in service to our City team and the community we serve. She consistently looks for ways to improve internal processes for better efficiency and ease of use for both her team members and the public, such as implementing new software for public meetings and improving the City's file retention system, just to name a few. Kristine is always patient and consistently goes above and beyond to teach her fellow coworkers about processes and give a helping hand on projects, Diana Macias, Lead Customer Service Representative: Diana was nominated by a City team member for her professionalism, dedication, and compassion in service to our community. She volunteered to assist the City's Housing Division in the implementation of a new program to assist low-income families who are in arrears on their utility bills due to economic impacts related to the pandemic. The deployment of the program began with two workshops, and Diana immediately went into action from day one. Knowing that some customers may be uncomfortable asking for assistance, she took the initiative to directly reach out to customers who she knew might need help. This act of service became a fundamental shift and inspired her
coworkers to continue to help with the effort and to get the word out. To date, the utility assistance program has assisted a total of 59 households, thanks in large part to Diana's compassion, persistence, and commitment to the community.
Justin Buckingham, Battalion Chief: BC Buckingham was nominated by City team members, the District Attorney, and the Sheriff for his professionalism, innovation, and dedication in service and safety to our community. The Ukiah Valley has seen an unprecedented number of arson-related fires over the last couple of years. BC Buckingham has been recognized for working tirelessly to keep the valley safe from arsonists through his strong investigative work and his proactive approach to arson prevention. He works closely with law enforcement, conducting parallel investigations and providing testimony that has been crucial in solving cases, which has led to the apprehension and ultimate conviction of suspects. BC Buckingham has also placed surveillance cameras in areas where arson is suspected and continues to track unsolved arson cases in an effort to connect them and identify the suspect(s).
Recommended Action: Receive a presentation of the Exceptional Employee Recognition Awards.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Proclamation: Recognition of Tyler Simerson - Eagle Scout DEPARTMENT: Community Services PREPARED BY: Neil Davis, Community Services Director PRESENTER: Doug Crane, Councilmember
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Eagle Scout Proclamation
Summary: Council will issue a proclamation of the Ukiah City Council recognizing Tyler Simerson's achievement in attaining the rank of Eagle Scout.
Background: Scouts BSA (formerly Boy Scouts of America) was created in 1911 and provides youth, in the fifth grade through high school, with experience in community engagement and leadership development as well as outdoor skills and experience. The scouting experience provides an educational framework allowing participants to work their way through the earned ranks from Tenderfoot, to Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and finally Eagle. Additionally, the scout earns merit badges in recognition of education and skill acquisition under a wide variety of topics including sports, crafts, science, trades, business, and future careers. There are more than 135 merit badges, and any Scout may earn any of these at any time. Twelve specific merit badges are required to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.
The final step in attaining the rank of Eagle Scout is the completion of a “project” of the Scout’s choosing. The project provides an opportunity for the candidate to “plan, develop, and give leadership to others,” as noted in the requirement. Eagle Scout projects are evaluated on the benefit to the organization being served and on the leadership provided by the candidate. There must also be evidence of organized planning, development, and leadership.
Discussion: On May 15, 2022, Tyler Simerson was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout. Tyler began this journey by becoming a Scout as a 9-year-old. To become an Eagle Scout, Tyler earned the Scout badge and the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life, and finally Eagle. Along the way, he earned 12 required merit badges and 11 elective merit badges, served in troop leadership positions for a total of 16 months, and spent dozens of hours on service projects, not including the many hours he spent on his Eagle Scout service project. In all, Tyler has completed approximately 325 different requirements.
In becoming an Eagle Scout Tyler has learned how to camp, swim, hike, use woodsman’s tools, build a fire, use a camp stove, and find his way with a map and compass. He’s spent at least 20 days and nights camping out in a tent he pitched on a site he selected. Many of those times he planned his own menu and cooked his own food.
As a sophomore at Ukiah High, Tyler competed on the JV Wrestling Team and is a Scholar Athlete (3.5 or better Unweighted GPA). For his Eagle Scout project Tyler coordinated with the Community Services Department to create a “Planet Walk” at Observatory Park. The Planet Walk is a scale model of the solar system designed to fit within the boundaries of the walking path inside the park. Most people know that the planets orbit the Sun, but it is difficult to visualize just how small the planets are compared to the immensity of the Sun. It is equally difficult to imagine the vast empty spaces between the planets.
The Planet Walk is designed to give a first-hand experience of the distance between the planets on a walkable scale. To accomplish this, the solar system is reduced in size so that the Sun is roughly the size of a lemon. This allows for the Planet Walk to be small enough to include all eight planets and Pluto. This project is a new community educational resource and will be featured at the planned Grand Opening of the new Observatory Park Interpretive Center in August. The Planet Walk can be used for school field trips, giving a lot of kids a chance to walk past the planet markers and learn about the solar system, and it will also be a fun activity for any park user that is interested in the solar system.
The City Council will present Tyler Simerson with a proclamation (Attachment 1) to acknowledge his achievements.
Recommended Action: Issue a proclamation of the Ukiah City Council recognizing Tyler Simerson's achievement as an Eagle Scout.

WHEREAS, in addition to his 23 merit badges, Tyler had 20 nights of camping and over 75 community service hours as a scout; and served in troop leadership positions for a total of 16 months, and spent dozens of hours on service projects; and WHEREAS, Tyler has been continually active in scouts since he was 9 and currently, is not only active in scouting and his community but is also a Scholar Athlete in wrestling with a better than 3.5 Unweighted GPA; and WHEREAS, Tyler has grown into a well-respected young man that both scouts and adults look to as an example.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we, the City Council of the City of Ukiah, do hereby honor Tyler Simerson of Boy Scout Troop 75 on his achievement of attaining the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in Boy Scouts.

Memorandum
To: Dan Buffalo, Finance Director
Members of the Investment Oversight Committee
City of Ukiah
From: Monique Spyke, Managing Director
Allison Kaune, Senior Analyst
PFM Asset Management LLC
RE: 2022 Investment Policy Review
PFM Asset Management LLC has completed its review of the City of Ukiah’s June 2021 Investment Policy (the “Policy”). The Policy is well written and in compliance with the sections of California Government Code (the “Code”) that govern the investment of public funds.
Furthermore, no changes were made to the Code since the Policy’s last review that require any changes to the Policy.
This year, however, we are recommending one change to the Policy. We recommend the Policy be edited to increase the maximum weighted average maturity of the portfolio from 2.5 years to 3 years. This modest change will allow the City to transition to a slightly longer duration strategy, should the longer duration strategy be approved. See Investment Policy Section VII. Portfolio Limits and Diversification, paragraph 2.
Thank you

1 CITY OF UKIAH
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
June 20212022
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to establish and organize investment policies, which will govern the investment activities of the City of Ukiah.

The investment policies of the City of Ukiah are based on state law and prudent money management practices. All funds will be invested in accordance with this Investment Policy and applicable California Government Codes, including § 53601 et seq.
III. OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of the City, in order of priority, shall be:
1) Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of capital in the portfolio.
2) Liquidity: The investment portfolio of the City will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet its cash flow requirements.
3) Yield: The investment strategy of the City shall be to earn a reasonable investment return, considering current market conditions, and within the parameters set forth by priorities (1) and (2) above.
An adequate percentage of the portfolio shall be maintained in liquid, short-term securities that can be converted into cash if necessary to meet forecasted disbursement requirements. The portfolio shall also be appropriately diversified to avoid unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual financial institutions.
IV. POLICIES
1. Public Funds: It is the policy of the City of Ukiah to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the maximum safety and liquidity, while earning an investment return consistent with the objectives and parameters set forth by this policy.
2. Prudent Investor Standard: Ukiah operates its investments program under the Prudent Investor Standard, which states that the governing body of the local agency or
Attachment 3

When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.
3. Management Responsibilities: Management responsibility for the investment program is delegated, for a one-year period, subject to annual review and delegation, to the City Treasurer. The City Treasurer may further delegate day-to-day management of the investment program to a professional external investment advisor.
4. Internal Controls: A system of internal controls shall be established and documented in writing by the Finance Director. The controls shall be designed to prevent losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation of third parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees and officers of the City of Ukiah. Controls deemed most important include: minimization of opportunities for collusion, separation of duties, separation of transaction authority from accounting and recordkeeping, avoidance of bearer-form securities, specific limitations regarding securities losses and remedial actions, written confirmation of all transactions, minimizing the number of authorized investment officials, documentation of transactions and strategies, and proper review and approval of brokerage accounts and investment transactions.
5. Safekeeping, Custody, and Delivery: The City’s investments shall be held in safekeeping, in the name of the City of Ukiah, by a third- party custodian bank.
Investment transactions shall be executed and settled using the “delivery vs. payment” method.
6. Reporting: The Finance Director shall review and have available monthly reports in the Finance Department, and available for public review, which shall include type of investment, issuer, purchase and maturity dates, rating, purchase price, par, current market value as of the date of the report and the source of this valuation, and yield to maturity. These reports shall include a list of all transactions during the past month.
The Investment Advisor will also deliver periodic market updates and portfolio reviews to the Finance Director. The Finance Director will deliver investment reports to the Investment Oversight Committee and City Council.
The Oversight Committee will meet at least once annually in order to conduct a comprehensive review of the investment activities of the City so as to insureensure that regulations are being adhered to and that strategies are being followed.
7. Conflict of Interest: In accordance with California Government Code sections 1090,
Attachment 3
3 et seq. and 87100, et seq., officers and employees of the City will refrain from any activity that could conflict with the proper execution of the investment program or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. All investment personnel shall comply with the reporting requirements of the Political Reform Act, to include the annual filing of Statements of Economic Interest.
8. Return on Investment: The City's investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return through economic cycles. The Investment Oversight Committee will measure the portfolio against an appropriate benchmark.
9. Annual Review of Policy: The Investment Advisor shall review the Investment Policy annually and provide the City Manager and Finance Director with recommendations if any are needed. The Finance Director will present the Policy, and any recommended changes, to the Investment Oversight Committee and City Council. City Council will review the Policy and recommended changes at a public meeting.

Public Comment: Dennis Crean, Pinky Kushner, Todd Schapmire.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:55 P.M.
Motion/Second: Rodin/Crane to approve a revised mitigation measure CUL-2: The 101 South Main Street building shall not be demolished until there is a development proposal approved in accordance with the Ukiah City Code and, specifically, the Downtown Zoning Code. At the time of demolition, the pressed metal siding on the west and north portions of the building shall be salvaged. If the pressed metal siding is not able to be salvaged, similar pressed metal siding may be used. Any new development will incorporate into the design all, or a portion, of the pressed metal siding of the existing building to pay homage to the agricultural commercial function of the original building. New development shall require review by the Design Review Board and the Planning Commission, in accordance with the Downtown Zoning Code. Motion carried by the following roll call votes: AYES:
Orozco, Crane, Rodin, and Brown. NOES: Dueňas. ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: None.
Motion/Second: Rodin/Crane to adopt the Resolution (2022-31) adopting the ISMND with the substituted mitigation – approved in previous motion, based on the Findings in Attachment 4 (see below) with the minor edit (changing ‘for’ to ‘with’ in first sentence of No. 13) as discussed. Motion carried by the following roll call votes: AYES: Orozco, Crane, Rodin, and Brown. NOES: Dueňas.
ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: None.
Motion/Second: Rodin/Crane to authorize issuance of the Demolition Permit for 101 South Main Street, based on the market analysis information provided by the applicant indicating that a viable market does not exist and consistent with Findings in Attachment 4 (shown below), including the minor edit from the above motion. Motion carried by the following roll call votes: AYES: Orozco, Crane, Rodin, and Brown. NOES: Dueňas. ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: None.
Findings – as seen in Attachment 4:
1. The City of Ukiah, as the Lead Agency, prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND) for the Project (SCH No. 2022030389) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
2. The Lead Agency (City) consulted with all applicable responsible agencies and trustee agencies.
3. The Draft ISMND was circulated for public review from March 14, 2022 through April 15, 2022.
No public comments on the ISMND were received during the public review period.
4. The ISMND analyzed areas of potential impacts and based on the conclusions reached within it, the Project would not significantly impact any environmental resources for the following reasons:
a. Temporary ground disturbing activities associated with demolition would have an impact on Air Quality and Cultural/Tribal Cultural Resources. However, mitigation measures identified within the Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (Section VIII of the ISMND) would adequately reduce all impacts to less than significant. b. The Project would result in a less than significant impact to Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gases, Hazards Materials, Land Use, Mineral Resources, Noise and Public Services.
c. The Project would have no impact on Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Population and Housing.
5. Based on the findings and conclusions contained in the ISMND, the proposed Project would not have environmental effects which would cause substantial adverse effects on humans, either directly or indirectly; and there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the
City Council Minutes for May 18, 2022, Continued:
City of Ukiah (including the ISMND and any comments received) that the Project would have a significant effect on the environment.
6. Based upon the analysis, findings, and conclusions contained in the ISMND, the Project will not result in impacts that are individually limited, but cumulative considerable.
7. The Notice of Availability for the public review period, and the Notice of Intent to adopt the ISMND and conduct a public hearing was provided in the following manner, in accordance with the Ukiah City Code and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15073: Provided to property owners within 300 feet of the Project parcel, as well as agencies and departments with jurisdiction or interest over the project on March 14, 2022; provided to interested parties who submitted written comments on the Draft ISMND during the public review period on March 14, 2022; posted on the City’s CEQA webpage on March 15, 2022 and March 7, 2022; published in the Ukiah Daily Journal on March 16, 2022; posted on the Project site on March 16, 2022; and posted at the Civic Center (glass case) 72 hours prior to the public hearings.
8. The ISMND and record of proceedings of the decision on the Project are available for public review at the City of Ukiah Community Development Department, Ukiah Civic Center, 300 Seminary Avenue, Ukiah, CA.
9. On December 28, 2021, the City’s Demolition Review Committee (DRC) held a public meeting and reviewed the Demolition Permit, in accordance with Ukiah City Code Section 3016(e). The DRC meeting was properly noticed in accordance with 3016(d). The DRC determined that the two buildings do not meet the criteria outlined in UCC 3016(e), and as such, recommended that City Council authorize issuance of the Demolition Permit to demolish the two structures.
10. On May 4, 2022, the City Council held a public hearing in accordance with UCC 3016(g) to receive public comment and consider the DRC’s recommendation, as well as approval of the ISMND for the Project.
11. At the May 4, 2022 Council meeting, Council considered authorization to issue the Demolition Permit for 101 and 105 South Main Street, as well as approval of the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (ISMND) for the Project. At this meeting, Council determined that the 105 South Main Street building has no historic significance (5-0 vote) under UCC Section 3016. As such, no further action by Council is needed for 105 South Main Street and the Demolition Permit for that building may be issued.
12. Regarding 101 South Main Street, the Council determined that the following UCC 3016(e) criteria applies to the building: 1) Has special or particular quality such as oldest, best example, largest, or last surviving example of its kind-in this case the metal clad; and 2) Exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City’s cultural, social, economic, political, or architectural history because it is the only remaining building to tell the story of how this block functioned as a service hub for agricultural commerce. Consideration of the Demolition Permit for this building and adoption of the ISMND were continued to the May 18, 2022 City Council meeting.
13. Because of these findings, at the May 18, 2022 Council meeting, Mitigation Measure CUL-2 (requiring an educational plaque to be erected) was substituted with a new CUL-2, requiring salvaging of the metal clad siding. If the pressed metal siding is not able to be salvaged, similar pressed metal siding may be used. Any new development will incorporate into the design all, or a portion, of the pressed metal siding of the existing building to pay homage to the agricultural commercial function of the original building. The substituted CUL-2 is found to be more effective in mitigating impacts related to demolition of the 101 South Main Street building and would not itself have any adverse environmental impacts. The substitution of this mitigation measure was completed in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section § 15074.1, Substitution of Mitigation
City Council Minutes for May 18, 2022, Continued:
Measures in a Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, and does not require recirculation of the ISMND.
14. At the May 18, 2022 Council meeting, in accordance with UCC 3016, Council determined that a viable market does not exist for the 101 South Main Street building based on information submitted by the Applicant. Per UCC 3016, the Building Permit shall be stayed for 90 days while the City and Applicant determined if alternatives exist to salvage the building. However, the 90- day stay was effectively waived by the Council and the Applicant agreeing to implement Mitigation Measure CUL-2. As such, the Council authorized issuance of the Demolition Permit subject to the condition that any site development or building permit issued for new construction on the subject property shall require compliance with CUL-1 and CUL-2 and adopted the ISMND and via Resolution Number 2022-; this decision reflects the City Council’s independent judgment and analysis.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution Adopting a Policy for Escheatment of Unclaimed Money.
DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Ginny Michel, Assistant Finance Director PRESENTER: Ginny Feth-Michel, Assistant Finance Director ATTACHMENTS:
1. Resolution - Escheatment Policy
Summary: Council will consider adoption of a resolution adoption a policy for escheatment of unclaimed money, or provide Staff with suggested changes to be incorporated into the policy.
Background: California’s government code section 50001 through 50057 provides that, except as provided by law, money that is not the property of a local agency that remains unclaimed in its treasury or in the official custody of its officers for three years is the property of the local agency, after notice, if not claimed or if no verified complaint is filed and served. The Code sets forth steps required for notice, claim requirements and other procedures.
The City does not currently have such a policy, therefore the Finance Department, with assistance from the City Attorney’s office, developed the attached policy for the Council’s consideration.
Discussion: Each year the City accumulates uncashed checks, customer utility or other deposits that remain unclaimed, even though attempts are made to contact the payees and reissue the checks or locate the person or entity entitled to the deposits. Normally, these unclaimed funds consist of:
Uncashed checks issued through Accounts Payable or payroll; Utility account over payment or deposit on closed accounts where the account holder does not provide a forwarding address or contact information; or
Project, rental or other deposits that are unused or by agreement are required to be returned to a payer whose contact information is invalid and cannot be located.
Staff proposes that the City Council adopt a formal policy, by Resolution (Attachment 1), regarding the proper handling of unclaimed money that follows the requirements of Government Code Section 50001-57607.
Adoption of this policy will set up a procedure to escheat these funds to the City or appropriate fund after proper notice has been satisfied.
Recommended Action: Adopt the Resolution adopting the policy for escheatment of unclaimed money.

MEETING DATE/TIME: 6/1/2022
ITEM NO: 2022-1688
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Annual Report on Mobilehome Park Stabilization Fees and Activities, Adoption of Resolution Updating Program Costs, and Approval to Waive Fees for the FY 2021-22..
DEPARTMENT: City Clerk PREPARED BY: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk PRESENTER: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Ordinance No. 1126
2. Resolution No. 2020-26
3. Letter to Mobilehome Residents
4. Proposed Resolution - redline and clean
Summary: Council will receive an annual report on the administrative costs and activities regarding the mobilehome park rent stabilization program, and consider waiving the fees for the Fiscal Year 2021-22.
Background: In October 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1126 (Attachment 1) to provide regulations surrounding mobilehome park rent increases and capital improvement pass-through costs. This Ordinance works in tandem with an adopted resolution that sets the administrative fees associated with Section 2715 of the Ordinance, and is reviewed annually.
In 2018, Council gave direction to Staff to charge the mobilehome park stabilization account each year to cover the City administrative costs incurred to maintain the requirements laid out in the Resolution; only invoicing the mobilehome park owners/residents when the balance in the account falls below the estimated costs for arbitration and administrative activities. Staff was also directed to implement an annual educational program to inform the tenants of their rights through the ordinance and resolution, and include those actions and results in the yearly report to Council.
As part of the educational program, a webpage was established and has been maintained on the City’s website at: http://www.cityofukiah.com/mobile-home-park-rent-stabilization-2/. The webpage contains links to the following: Ordinance 1126 and Resolution 2020-26 that govern the stabilization process and costs; the December 20, 2017, Staff Report to Council that details how the fees are assessed; and the annual letter sent to the mobilehome park owners regarding the October CPI, which dictates the amount that rent can be increased. All correspondence and documents pertaining to the mobilehome park rent stabilization are added on an on-going basis to this webpage.
In May of 2020, Council adopted Resolution 2021-26 (Attachment 2) that amended and updated the arbitration and administrative costs. In May of 2021, there was no need to update the resolution.
In addition, a letter (Attachment 3) was sent out on May 9, 2022, to all mobilehome park residents to bring their awareness to the website resource. As of the publication of this agenda item, the Clerk’s office has received three calls from park residents who wished to learn more about the program.
Discussion: The current before-year-end-close balance in the Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Trust Fund (90000000.23251) is $24,020. The estimated administrative and educational outreach costs for the 21-22 Fiscal Year is $878 (using the higher rate of the two invoicing rates specified in the resolution), which would
leave a remaining balance of $23,142. After acquiring an updated fee schedule from JAMS and ADR Services, the total reasonable estimate for the annual cost to administer Chapter 8, including arbitrations is $12,278. As the estimated remaining balance would still exceed the suggested reasonable estimate of costs, Staff recommends waiving the annual billing to the mobilehome parks for the fiscal year 2021-22, and authorized the use of the account reserves for current year administrative activities.
Costs to implement the program shown on Exhibit A to Resolution 2020-26, have changed due to the hourly arbitration costs. Therefore, Staff is recommending adoption of a new resolution amending Exhibit A to include the cost differences. Red-line and clean versions of the proposed resolution are included as Attachment
4. These changes would not affect the recommendation to waive the annual fee to the mobilehome parks for the fiscal year 2021-22.
Recommended Action: Receive report on the Mobilehome Park Stabilization Administrative Costs and Activities; adopt the Resolution Amending Exhibit A - updating the program costs; approve waiving fees for the FY 2020-21, and authorized the use of the account reserves for current year administrative activities.

OF THE UKIAH CITY CODE.
SECTION ONE.
The City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby ordains that a new Chapter 8, entitled "Mobilehome Rent Stabilization" is hereby added to Division 1 of the Ukiah City Code to read as follows.
DIVISION 1 BUILDING
CHAPTER 8 MOBILEHOME RENT STABILIZATION
2700: FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
A) The State of California has recognized, by the adoption of special legislation regulating tenancies of mobilehome owners in mobilehome parks, that there is a significant distinction between homeowners in mobilehome parks and other dwelling units, and the State likewise has recognized that homeowners in mobilehome parks, unlike apartment tenants or residents of other rental stock, are in the unique position of having made a substantial investment in a residence, the space for which is rented or leased as distinguished from owned.
The physical removal and relocation of a mobilehome from a rented or leased space within a mobilehome park can be accomplished only at substantial cost and inconvenience with a limited concurrent ability to find another location and, in many instances, the removal requires a separation of the mobilehome unit from appurtenances which have been made permanent, thus creating severe damage and depreciation in value to the mobilehome.
Because of the limited availability of vacant spaces in mobilehome parks, the age and condition of some mobilehomes and the cost of moving mobilehomes, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to move a mobilehome from one park to another within the City.
B) There is presently within the City and the surrounding areas a shortage of sites for the placement of mobilehomes.
C) According to the Ukiah General Plan Housing Element, mobilehomes presently constitute an important source of housing for persons of extremely low, ATTACHMENT 1
very low, low, and moderate income levels, who as a group are unable to afford unreasonably large rent increases.
D) A large number of persons living in mobilehomes are elderly, some of whom live on small fixed incomes. These persons may expend a substantial portion of their income on rent and may not be able to afford other housing within the City.
E) Rents for sites within mobilehome parks in the City have, prior to the adoption of this chapter, increased substantially, with recent increases in one park exceeding by a substantial amount the annual increase in the cost of living.
F) Space rent increases at the time of sale or other transfer of a mobilehome within a park have been shown to be substantially over the pre-transfer rent.
Such large rent increases at the time of sale of a mobilehome may unfairly depress the sales price of the mobilehome and work an economic hardship on the mobilehome owner. The annual rent increases and vacancy control provisions of this chapter prevent this economic hardship while protecting the property rights of owners.
G) Because of the space shortage and potential for rapidly rising rents, regulation is necessary to assure that economic hardship to a substantial number of mobilehome owners in the City, many of whom are senior citizens on low fixed incomes, does not occur.
H) It is the purpose of this chapter to establish a speedy and efficient method of reviewing certain requested mobilehome space rent increases in mobilehome parks to protect mobilehome owners from arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable site rent adjustments while insuring owners and/or operators and investors a fair and reasonable return on their investment in their mobilehome park. 2701: DEFINITIONS.
For the purpose of this chapter, the following words, terms and phrases shall be defined as follows:

2703: CONSUMER PRICE INDEX, UTILITIES AND OTHER PASS
THROUGHS.
A) Consumer Price Index. An owner, once in any 12-month period, may impose a rent increase for a mobilehome space by 100 percent of the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) during the most recent 12-month period ending in October; provided, however, the rental increase shall not exceed five percent of the previous rent charged for the space.
If an owner has obtained a rent increase under subsection 2704(B), the owner may calculate the rent increase allowed by this subsection based upon the approved comparable rent as allowed in subsection 2704(8) instead of upon the actual rent in effect at the time of the increase.
B) If the change in the CPI exceeds five percent for two consecutive years, the Clerk shall review the maximum rent increase and recommend an ordinance amendment if appropriate.
C) Government Mandated Expense Pass Through. An owner may pass through to affected mobilehome owners any new or increase in government mandated capital expenditures and operating expenses including taxes (other than the two percent annual increase authorized by California Constitution Article XIIIA, section 2(b)) and assessments, fees and mandated expenses due to code changes subject to the following procedure:
1) Upon a petition signed by one adult mobilehome owner for each of 50 percent of the spaces subject to rent control in a mobilehome park or 50 spaces, whichever is less, and filed with the Clerk within 30 days of the date the owner gives notice of a government mandated expense pass through to every affected mobilehome owner, the Arbitrator, in accordance with the meet and confer and arbitration procedures provided in this chapter, may disallow or decrease the proposed pass through based upon substantial evidence in the record that the pass through is not legally proper, or is excessive, or that during the pass through period the owner is including an unreasonably high financing cost and/or return on the expense being passed through.
D) Utilities. If not billed by the utility directly to the mobilehome owner, an owner may separately pass through to a mobilehome owner charges for all utilities, including, but not limited to, sewer, water, garbage, cable TV., gas and electricity, and any increases in such charges, subject to compliance with Sections 3960-3963. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this section, the owner shall not pass through any charge or expense for gas or electric service to the extent prohibited by section 739.5 of the California Public Utilities Code.
E) Capital Improvement Pass Through. An owner may charge to the affected mobilehome owner as additional rent the pro rata share of new service and capital improvement costs including reasonable financing costs if, prior to initiating the service or incurring the capital improvement cost, the owner has:
1) Consulted with the mobilehome owners prior to initiating construction of the improvements or initiating the new service regarding the nature and purpose of the improvements or services and the estimated cost of the improvements or services;
2) Obtained the prior written consent of at least one adult mobilehome owner in each of a majority of the mobilehome spaces which are occupied by the mobilehome owner to the proposed service or capital improvement. Each space shall have only one vote.
6
F) Capital Replacement Pass Through. Notwithstanding the provision of subsection E of this section, an owner may charge to the mobilehome owner as additional rent the pro rata share of capital replacement costs including reasonable financing costs, if not otherwise prohibited by law, subject to the following procedure:
1) The owner may seek advance approval for the proposed pass through, before undertaking the capital project, by following the procedures set forth in Sections 2709 to 2711. If the increase is approved by the Arbitrator, it shall not be effective until the next regularly scheduled annual rent increase date, provided that the 90-day notice is issued, the expense is actually incurred and that proper verification is submitted. This verification shall include, at a minimum, proof of actual costs and payment to vendors or contractors. In the event that the actual cost of the capital expense is less than the approved amount, the increase shall be adjusted to reflect this decreased amount;
2) The owner shall give notice of the proposed pass through to each affected mobilehome owner no later than 12 months after completion of the capital replacement work;
3) Upon a petition signed by one adult mobilehome owner of each of 50 percent of the spaces subject to rent control in a park or 50 spaces subject to rent control, whichever is less, and filed with the Clerk within 30 days of the date the owner gives notice of the pass through to every affected mobilehome owner, the Arbitrator, in accordance with the arbitration procedure provided in this chapter, may disallow or decrease the pass through for capital replacements based upon substantial evidence in the record that the capital replacement was not necessary, or that the cost of the capital replacement was excessive, or that during the pass through period, the owner is including an unreasonably high financing cost and/or return on the expense being passed through. The owner shall have the burden of proving the necessity for and reasonable cost of the capital replacements. In determining whether the owner has met its burden of proving the necessity for and reasonable cost of the capital replacement, the Arbitrator may consider, among other factors, the reasonableness of the owner's history of maintenance of the property or improvement to be replaced. The Arbitrator'sreview will include, but not necessarily be limited to, the records reflecting past maintenance work and the cost.
G) All charges passed through by the owner to the mobilehome owners pursuant to subsection C and D of this section and additional rent charged pursuant to subsections E and F of this section must be separate from the base rent and listed separately. All billings used to calculate a pass through or additional rent to mobilehome owners must be disclosed within a reasonable time upon request by a mobilehome owner.
7
H) Notice. A written notice of each rent increase or new or increased capital improvement or capital replacement pass through charge made under the provisions of this section shall be filed by the owner with the Clerk, and provided to each affected mobilehome owner, at least 90 days before the rent increase goes into effect or as required by the MRL. The notice shall identify the park and shall specify the dollar amount of the increase, the percentage of the increase, an itemization of all new or increased pass throughs and additional rent charges, the specific space affected, the date the increase will go into effect, how each increase was calculated, and the date the rent on each affected space was last increased. The notice shall also advise each affected mobilehome owner of any right to petition for review of a proposed rent increase and that a petition form may be requested from the Clerk.
1) Whenever a time period is prescribed for filing an application or petition, the application or petition shall be deemed filed when it is first filed with the Clerk, even if the Clerk determines that the application or petition is not complete, provided that the Clerk determines that application or petition is complete, as a result of additional submissions by the applicant or petitioner, within thirty days of the initial filing.
2704: IN-PLACE TRANSFER RENT INCREASES-ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW BASE RENT.
A) Whenever either of the following events occurs, an owner shall be permitted to charge a new base rent for the mobilehome space as provided in this section:
1) The termination of the tenancy of the affected mobilehome owner in accordance with the MRL (California Civil Code sections 798.55 through 798.60, as amended, excepting section 798.59); or
2) The voluntary permanent removal of a mobilehome by a mobilehome owner. A removal of the mobilehome from the space for the purpose of performing rehabilitation or capital improvements to the space or for the purpose of upgrading the mobilehome shall not constitute a voluntary removal of the mobilehome.
B) Upon the sale of a mobilehome in-place, an owner may implement an increase of the base rent for that space in an amount equal to 10% of the rent for that space then in effect.
C) Except as provided in subsections (A) and (B), an owner may not condition an in-place transfer of a mobilehome or condition assignment of an existing lease to a prospective mobilehome owner, upon agreement to an increased rent in anticipation of the in-place transfer. This subsection shall not apply to specific conditions included in a lease exempt from rent control which
allows an owner to condition assignment in a manner prohibited by this section.
For purposes of this subsection, "a lease exempt from rent control" means a lease meeting, in all respects, the criteria of Civil Code section 798. b), 17(as such criteria are presently enacted or may hereafter be amended. 2705: FAIR RETURN RENT INCREASES.
If an owner presents evidence to the Arbitrator, including any financial records requested by the Arbitrator, which proves that the owner is denied a fair return by the rent control provisions of this chapter, the Arbitrator may authorize an increase in rents as deemed appropriate by the Arbitrator to provide a fair return to the owner. The Arbitrator shall use the method set forth in subsection 2711(C) to determine the fair return.
2706: RENT FREEZE OR RENT ROLLBACK.
A) Upon the petition signed by one adult mobilehome owner of 50 percent of the spaces subject to rent control in a park or 50 spaces subject to rent control, whichever is less, the Arbitrator may prohibit future rent increases for spaces governed by this chapter, upon its determination that maintenance by the owner has been substantially reduced and is insufficient to adequately maintain the park in a habitable condition. The determination shall be based upon substantial evidence in the record. The prohibition may be continued until the Arbitrator determines that maintenance by the owner has been restored to a reasonable level.
B) Upon petition by one or more affected mobilehome owners, an Arbitrator may prohibit future rent increases, or order a rollback of the existing rent as to those petitioners, upon its determination that after the Effective Date, an owner instituted a rent increase inconsistent with the criteria established by this chapter.
The determination shall be based upon substantial evidence in the record. The prohibition may be continued until the Arbitrator determines that the rent has become consistent with this chapter.
2707: TIME OF ALLOWED RENT INCREASE/ADJUSTMENT.
A) Once within a 12-month period, the owner may implement a CPI rent adjustment (subsection 2703(A)), if any, or a fair return increase (Section 2703), but not both.

A) Matters Subject to Arbitration.
1) An owner shall file with the Clerk:
a) An application seeking to increase space rents beyond 100 percent of the CPI to provide a fair return to the owner as allowed by Section 2705. 2) Affected mobilehome owners may file with the Clerk:
a) A petition objecting to a government mandated expense pass through as allowed by subsection 2703(C);
b) A petition objecting to a capital replacement pass through as allowed by subsection 2703(F);
c) A petition for rent freeze as allowed by subsection 2706(A); d) A petition for rent rollback as allowed by subsection 2706(B).
B) These petitions and applications shall be decided by the Arbitrator.
C) Cost of Arbitration. The cost of arbitration shall be paid by the Clerk out of revenue from the rent stabilization administration fee. The Arbitrator may reimburse the City by assessing the cost of the arbitration to either party if the Arbitrator determines that the position taken by the party is frivolous. 2709: PROCEDURES FOR FAIR RETURN NOTICE AND APPLICATION AND PETITION FORMS.

1) An Arbitrator shall be appointed in the following manner:
a) The Clerk shall maintain a list of qualified arbitrators. 12

3) The Clerk shall provide the result of the Arbitrator'sdecision to the affected parties.
4) The Arbitrator'sdecisions are final and not appealable to the City Council.
C) Method to Determine a Fair Return.
13
1) The base year for the purpose of this section shall be the last full fiscal year prior to the park becoming subject to this chapter. The Arbitrator may establish an alternative base year if the owner is unable to produce records of the last full fiscal year prior to the park becoming subject to rent control. 2) It shall be presumed that the net operating income produced by the property during the base year provided a fair return. An owner shall be entitled to rents to earn a just and reasonable return and to maintain and increase their base year net operating income in accordance with subsection (C)(4) of this section. This method is called maintenance of net operating income (MNOI) and shall be included in all applications.
3) The applicant or the affected mobilehome owners may present evidence to rebut the presumption of fair and reasonable return based upon the base year net operating income. To make such a determination and in order to adjust to the base year net operating income, the Arbitrator must make the following finding:
a) The owner'soperating and maintenance expenses in the base year were unusually high or low in comparison to other years. In such instances, adjustments may be made in calculating such expenses so that the base year operating expenses reflect average expenses for the property over a reasonable period of time. In considering whether the base year net operating income yielded more or less than a fair net operating income, the Arbitrator shall consider the following factors:
i) Substantial repairs were made due to damage caused by uninsured disaster or vandalism;
ii) Maintenance and repairs were below accepted standards so as to cause significant deterioration of housing services;
iii) Other expenses were unreasonably high or low notwithstanding prudent business practice; and
iv) The rent in the base year was disproportionately low due to the fact that it was not established in an arms-length transaction or other peculiar circumstances.
4) Fair Net Operating Income. The Arbitrator shall submit a determination based on rental income which will provide the owner a net operating income which shall be increased by 100 percent of the percentage increase in the CPI over the base year's CPI index. The base year CPI shall be the CPI for the first day of June. For purposes of this section, the current CPI shall be the CPI last reported as of the date of the completed application.
14
5) Net operating income of a mobilehome park means the gross income of the park less the operating expenses of the park.
6) Gross income means the sum of the following:
a) Gross space rents computed as gross space rental income at 100 percent occupancy (but excluding rent attributed to a space occupied by a park employee who receives the space rent free as part of the employee's compensation); plus
b) Other income generated as a result of the operation of the park, including, but not limited to, fees for services actually rendered; plus c) All other pass through revenue received from mobilehome owners except capital pass throughs and gas and electric; minus
d) Uncollected space rents due to vacancy and bad debts to the extent that the same are beyond the owner'scontrol. There is a rebuttable presumption that uncollected space rents in excess of the average of the current and past three years uncollected rents (each year's rent shall be adjusted by the change in the CPI between that year and the final year of the four-year period) are excessive and shall not be deducted from gross income.
7) Operating expenses means:
a) Real property taxes and assessment;
b) Advertising costs;
c) Management and administrative expenses including the compensation of administrative personnel;
d) Repair and maintenance expenses for the grounds and common facilities including, but not limited to, landscaping, cleaning and repair of equipment and facilities;
e) In addition to the management expenses listed above, where the owner performs onsite managerial or maintenance services which are uncompensated, the owner may include the reasonable value of such services. Owner-performed labor shall be limited to five percent of gross income unless the Arbitrator finds that such a limitation would be substantially unfair in a given case. No credit for such services shall be authorized unless an owner documents the hours utilized in performing such services and the nature of the services provided; f) Operating supplies such as janitorial supplies, gardening supplies, stationery and so forth;
15
g) Insurance premiums related to operation of the park prorated over the life of the policy;
h) Payroll taxes, business, utility, license and permit fees; i) Dues;
j) Consultant services for park operation and maintenance; k) All operating expenses must be reasonable and necessary. Whenever a particular expense exceeds the normal industry or other comparable standard, the owner shall bear the burden of proving the reasonableness of the expense.
To the extent that an Arbitrator finds any expense to be unreasonable, the Arbitrator shall adjust the expense to reflect the normal industry or other comparable standard;
1) There is a rebuttable presumption that expenditures in the current year are unreasonable to the extent that they substantially exceed the average of the current and past three years (each year's expenses shall be adjusted by the change in the CPI between that year and the final year of the four-year period); m) Operating expenses shall not include the following:
i) Mortgage debt service expenses;
ii) Land-lease expenses;
iii) Depreciation;
iv) Income taxes;
v) Electric and gas expenses included in Section 739.5 of the California Public Utility Codes;
vi) The cost of government mandated expenses (subsection 2703(C)), capital improvements (subsection 2703(D)), or capital replacements (subsection 6- 040(66. F)).
8) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the ordinance codified in this chapter, the Arbitrator is authorized to approve any rent increase that is constitutionally required by law to yield a fair return.
E) Subpoenas. The parties may obtain the issuance and service of a subpoena for the attendance of witnesses or the production of other evidence at the arbitration hearing. Subpoenas shall be issued and attested by the Clerk. 16
Issuance of the subpoena must be obtained upon the filing with the Clerk of the City of an affidavit or declaration, under oath, setting forth the name and address of the proposed witness; specifying the exact things to be produced and the relevancy to the issues involved; and stating that the witness as the desired things in his/her possession or under his/her control.

SUBJECT: Mobilehome Park Rent Stabilization Resource Information Dear Mobilehome Park Residents,
This letter is an educational outreach, so that you are aware of your rights – per ordinance 1126 and resolution 2020-26 - as a mobilehome park resident.
In 2011, the Ukiah City Council adopted an ordinance to establish a mobilehome park rent stabilization. In an effort to assist mobilehome park residents to better understand how the rent increases, fees, and pass-through charges operate, a webpage was created on the City of Ukiah’s website, which can be found at: http://www.cityofukiah.com/mobilehome-park-rent-stabilization-2/.
Mobilehome park residents are encouraged to explore the webpage, which contains the full ordinance and resolution that explains how the rent stabilization works. There are also links to annual correspondence sent to the mobilehome park owners regarding the October CPI index that determines the amount that can be charged for rent increases, and staff reports presented to the City Council explaining in detail how the yearly fees operate.
In respect to State legislation regarding COVID-19 as it relates to tenancy and protections, please see the following articles for more information:

Summary: Council will consider awarding a contract to Ghilotti Construction Co. in the amount of $609,806.30 for the Dora Street Overlay Project, Specification No. 21-05.
Background: At the December 15, 2021 City Council meeting, the Council was presented with a number of potential projects to be funded by lease revenue bonds, including a selection of streets to be rehabilitated and the renovation of the City Corporation Yard. At the February 2, 2022 meeting, the Council authorized pursuance of the lease revenue bonds. At the March 2nd meeting, the Council was presented with and approved plans and specifications for one of those projects--the Dora Street Overlay (Staff Report provided as Attachment 1), with direction to advertise the project for construction bid.
This project will rehabilitate Dora Street from upper Luce Avenue north to West Mill Street, as well as pedestrian and ADA access improvements. The project will also include Class 2 bike lanes in both directions and the installation of a new storm drain at Yokoyo Elementary School, along with traffic-calming curb extensions.
Discussion: The City received three construction bids (Attachment 2) for this project on May 19, 2022. Ghilotti Construction Co. was the low bidder with a bid amount of $609,806.30. A copy of Ghilotti Construction Co.’s bid is provided in Attachment 3.
It is Staff's recommendation to award the bid for Specification No. 21-05 for the Dora Street Overlay Project in the amount of $609,806.30 to Ghilotti Construction Co. Staff has included a change order of 10% added to the contract award and is thus requesting an additional $60,980.63 be included with the budget amendment to cover any necessary change orders. $366,424.00 of this project will be paid for SB1 funds authorized in Resolution 2022-26 approved at the April 20, 2022 Council meeting (Attachment 4). The amount referenced in that meeting ($332,953) referenced the wrong fiscal year and should be $366,424.00 Engineering Staff continues to work with the Complete Streets Ad-Hoc in order to provide a more multi-modal network. The existing bike lanes are currently under consideration for alteration as the project proceeds.
Recommended Action: Award bid to Ghilotti Construction Co. in the amount of $609,806.30 for the Dora Street Overlay Project , Specification No. 21-05, and approve a corresponding budget amendment.

2. Ukiah SB-1 2122 Resolution
Summary: Council will consider adopting a resolution to identify a street paving project on Dora Street between Luce and Mill St which will utilize Senate Bill 1, The Road Repair and Accountability Act funds, in addition to bond revenue funds; and consider approving a corresponding budget amendment.
Background: With the adoption of Senate Bill 1 - the Road Repair and Accountability Act (SB 1) - into law, local agencies are required to submit a list of projects using the funding amount identified as the Road Maintenance Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). The City of Ukiah's estimated RMRA funding amount available for Fiscal Year 2021-2022, is $332,953. Further detailed information on RMRA funding can be found in Attachment 1, an excerpt from the League of California Cities bulletin on transportation funding and the projected FY 2021-2022 revenues.
Discussion: City Staff have reviewed the City’s Pavement Management Program and identified a list of streets for asphalt concrete (AC) overlays to be constructed in 2022. Among the streets included on this list, Staff identified a section of Dora Street between Luce and Mill to be funded with RMRA funding.
As a condition to receive RMRA funding, cities are required to select a project through a City resolution (Attachment 2) and submit a copy of the resolution to the California Transportation Commission.
Recommended Action: Adopt resolution identifying the 2021-2022 Project Funded by SB 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act; and approve corresponding budget amendment.

Background: The City of Ukiah historically has consolidated its elections with Mendocino County. The estimated cost for providing these election services is $8,000, depending on how many cities consolidate with the County, and other variables that are unknown at this time.

The election is necessary to fill the vacancies created by the expiration of three Council terms: Jim O. Brown, Juan V. Orozco, and Mari Rodin, who has been serving the unexpired term of Maureen Mulheren.
Recommended Action: Adopt the resolution calling for the holding of a General Election November 8, 2022; to consolidate said Election with the Statewide General Election pursuant to Election Code §10403; and request the Board of Supervisors of the County of Mendocino to request the County Clerk to Conduct the Municipal Election of the City of Ukiah on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, pursuant to Election Code §10002.

Summary: Council will consider approval of an Amendment No. 4, to the professional services agreement with PSOMAS for an amount not to exceed $2,500 for professional consulting services related to the City's annexation of City-owned properties.
Background: The City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) in July 2019 for qualified firms to perform land surveyor services to produce application materials for the City's annexation of City-owned parcels. PSOMAS was awarded a contract and executed a professional services agreement with the City for $42,245 on September 9, 2019 through COU #1920-138 (Attachment 1).
Three amendments to COU #1920-138 have since been approved by City Council and executed. Amendment #1 for $3,290 was approved on May 20, 2020 (Attachment 2), Amendment #2 for $2,600 was approved on August 18, 2021 (Attachment 3), and Amendment #3 for $1,600 was approved on November 12, 2021 (Attachment 4).
Since 2019, the City has entered into other agreements for professional services with PSOMAS. On July 7, 2020, the City entered into a separate yet similar agreement (COU #2021-082) to prepare land surveys and metes and bounds application materials for other applications to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). This separate agreement with PSOMAS totaled $55,410.40 and is unrelated to the request for annexation of City-owned properties.
Discussion: On March 16, 2022, the City received a Memo from Mendocino County Geographic Information Services (GIS) staff regarding potential inconsistencies within the City's submitted City-owned annexation application. After a series of conversations with County and LAFCo staff, County staff clarified there were minor mapping errors that needed to be processed to move the City's application forward.
Due to the State Board of Equalization's (SBOE) 2022 deadline and the resulting urgent need to progress the City-owned application forward for a hearing by the Local Agency Formation Commission, the City Manager executed the amendment to the PSOMAS contract on May 23, 2022, for $2,600 (Attachment 5). The mapping issues cited by the County are in the process of being corrected by PSOMAS.
The purpose of this agenda item is to seek Council approval on Amendment 4 to COU 1920-138 (Attachment 6). This would bring the total cost of the professional services agreement to $52,235.
Recommended Action: Approve Amendment No. 4 to a professional services agreement with PSOMAS for an amount not to exceed $2,500 for professional consulting services related to the City’s annexation efforts.

Attachment 1
City of Ukiah | RFP for Land Surveyor Services 1
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Ukiah (City) desires to annex 17 parcels of land. This requires various documents be prepared by a licensed land surveyor in support of the City’s application to the Mendocino County LAFCo review process for changes to the City’s jurisdiction boundary.
Psomas will prepare an Annexation Exhibit and Legal Description for each of the APN parcels as noted in the RFP in accordance with the requirements of LAFCo’s application process and State Board of Equalization review. The Annexation Exhibits will be similar in format to the examples found in Attachment “A” hereto. We understand that these documents must meet the City’s, LAFCo’s and the State Board of Equalization’s requirements. Psomas understands that full compliance with these requirements is essential before a formal application to change jurisdictional boundaries of the City can be submitted to LAFCo.
To prepare the legal description and exhibits, we will conduct extensive record boundary research and analysis and coordinate with LAFCo for recordation.
We will develop precisely created CAD line work that will provide the basis for the individually numbered courses that will form the body of each legal description. We will incorporate “controlling calls” in the legal description to township, range and section and citations to the applicable record documents, street right of way, subdivision, parcel, adjacent parcel deeds. This will ensure we have met LAFCo and the State Board of Equalization’s criteria that each legal description be a stand-alone document, suitable for recordation.
Our Proposal also includes providing an exhibit schematic diagram of the plan for providing water, sewer and storm drain services, together with a Statement of Water Availability. These services will be provided in coordination with the City’s Utility and Water Services Departments.
This scope includes time to respond to initial review comments from LAFCo.
Psomas will provide additional services for subsequent LAFCo reviews on a time and materials basis, upon request from the City.
As described in our Scope of Work below, Psomas’ proposal fully addresses the requirements for the preparation of the necessary documents needed for the City’s LAFCo Annexation Application.
SCOPE OF WORK
In response to the RFP issued July 23rd, 2019, Psomas proposes to provide the services as described below:
§ Review the preliminary title reports and determine record ownerships and any existing encumbrances on each of the subject parcels. 1 Provided Services
SECTION
ATTACHMENT A - CONTRACT 1920-138
City of Ukiah | RFP for Land Surveyor Services 2
§ Perform research of public records, grant deeds and record maps to determine the property boundaries of the subject assessor’s parcels. § Perform a monument recovery field survey to locate a sufficient number of record boundary corners to be able to geo-reference the individual parcel boundaries to Lambert NAD83 Zone 2 coordinates. This will provide the basis of bearings for the cadastral landbase mapping and legal descriptions for each APN parcel.
§ Horizontal control will be based on U.S. Survey Feet. All distances will be shown in Ground Distances. Any records that are shown in grid distances or in other units with be converted to U.S. Survey Feet.
§ Prepare an Annexation Exhibit Map (Plat) and a written Geographic Description (Legal Description) for each of the 17 APN’s listed in the RFP.
There are two items listed in the RFP that address the requirements for LAFCo’s “Plan of Service” that Psomas has included in this proposal:
§ One (1) copy of the plan for providing services along with a schematic diagram of water, sewer and storm drainage system (refer to Government Code Section 56653).
§ One (1) copy of the Statement of Timely Availability of Water Supplies (reference to Government Code Section 56668(k).
Psomas will coordinate with the City Utility and Water Departments to provide the above documents. We have addressed these in more detail in our stated Assumptions.
Deliverables
Psomas will provide CAD and GIS data compatible with the City of Ukiah’s records management system and Mendocino County’s GIS system. All deliverables will comply with the State Board of Equalization requirements; Government Code Sections 54900 through 54903 as referenced in the RFP. The deliverables for each APN parcel will include:

Good Morning Lester,
Greetings, and thank you for this follow-up explanation and response. It is appreciated and understood. I hope that you are feeling well.
I have been authorized by the Community Development Director, as well as the City Manager, to allow PSOMAS to undertake this work (not to exceed $2,500) as soon as you are able. Please proceed.
Should you need anything from myself or other City Staff, please do not hesitate to contact me. As this is one of the last updates needed to progress this annexation request to a hearing, any needed assistance will be prioritized by City staff.
Thank you in advance for your work on updating this map as well as the legal description, and responding to the County’s Information Services Division.
Best Regards,
Jesse Davis

coordinating an information request with the “respective Departments”. I feel that this was not an oversight on our part as we performed agency outreach and normal due diligence in researching the City and individual parcel boundaries. I will need to request a budget amendment to address the revisions Leif has noted in his memo. I estimate this being between $1,464 and $1,952 for the CAD Mapping Tech time, with some PM/PLS oversight and review time. It is difficult to gauge the amount of staff and project management effort until I have the documents and can review them.
Do you have an option to authorize this work under a “Time and Materials” budget, with an initial Not-to-Exceed limit of $2,500? I anticipate this amount of time will be needed, since this will also affect the “controlling calls” in the legal description, i.e., whenever a portion of a parcel boundary or a portion of the Annexation Boundary crosses the City boundary into unincorporated area, we will now need to cite this in the legal and show it on the Exhibit B.
Let me know your thoughts on this – Thank You,

2. Ukiah Valley PSA 05.01.2021 FULLY EXECUTED
Summary: Council will consider awarding a one (1) year extension to AP Triton for consulting services for the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority's Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical Services (PHEMS), for an amount not to exceed $60,000.00
Background: The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority has utilized the expertise of AP Triton for consultation on a wide range of issues surrounding the Fire Authority's provision of Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical Services.
Discussion: The Fire Authority would like to extend the current agreement, COU 2021-184, for an additional year as the Fire Authority, the City, and the County continue to work through the process of potentially establishing a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for provision of Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical Services (PHEMS), and Emergency Ambulance Transport in Inland Mendocino County. AP Triton has been providing consulting services to the Fire Authority since 2019, and their continued expertise will be crucial in crafting a plan that is beneficial to the entire community while at the same time protecting the signatory agencies' rights and obligations. The proposed extension is provided as Attachment 1. For reference, our previous agreement with AP Triton, COU 202-184, is Attachment 2.
Recommended Action: Approve a one (1) year extension of COU Agreement No. 2121-184 with AP Triton for an amount not to exceed $60,000.00.

Summary: Council will consider awarding a contract to Wahlund Construction in the amount of $220,775 for Ford and Orchard Lift Station Replacement, Specification No. 22-02.
Background: It was determined that the existing lift station at Ford and Orchard that serves the Wagenseller and surrounding communities has begun to fail. Both the pumps and control system are at end of life and need replacement.
In addition to the lift station mechanical and control equipment replacement - and other improvements such as wet well epoxy coating, site fencing, and traffic bollards - Public Works Staff coordinated with the Electric Utility Department and included the installation of new primary underground electric conduits under Orchard Avenue for future development.
Discussion: The City released the bid notice (Attachment 1) in April and interested contractors participated in a bid walk for the project on May 3, 2022. The City received three construction bids for this project on May 18, 2022 (Bid Tabulation is Attachment 2). Wahlund Construction was the low bidder with a bid amount of $220,775.
It is Staff's recommendation to award the bid (Attachment 3) for Specification No. 22-02 for the Ford and Orchard Lift Station Replacement in the amount of $220,775 to Wahlund Construction, Inc.
An internal budget transfer will be performed to link budgeted Electric Utility Department funds to the Project Code associated with the replacement project. (18134)

The drawings for the work show conditions as they are supposed or believed by the Engineer to exist; but, it is neither intended nor shall it be inferred that the conditions as shown thereon constitute a representation by the Engineer, the City or its officers that such conditions are actually existent, nor shall the City, the Engineer or any of their officers or representatives be liable for any loss sustained by the Contractor as a result of a variance between the conditions shown on the drawings and the conditions actually revealed during the progress of the work or otherwise.
The bidder's attention is directed to the possible existence of obstructions and public improvements within the limits of the work or adjacent thereto, which may or may not be shown on the Drawings. Any bid shall take into consideration that conditions may exist underground or otherwise that are not known to the City or easily detected during a site inspection that could impact the time or cost of completing the project. The City expects the bids to anticipate such conditions so that it can know for budgeting and other purposes the total cost to complete the project before accepting a bid and undertaking the legal obligation to construct the project. In awarding the contract the City relies on the contractor’s representation that its bid anticipates differing site conditions and the additional time or cost that such conditions may necessitate.
The bidder shall investigate to his or her satisfaction the conditions to be encountered, the character, quality and quantities of work to be performed and materials to be furnished and the requirements of the Plans, Special Provisions, Standard Specifications, Standard Plans, and Contract Documents. The submission of a proposal shall be considered conclusive evidence that the bidder has made such examination and has accepted the project workplace as a safe workplace to perform the work of the Contract.
