Summary: Council will receive a report of the acquisition of parts and labor for the repair of the 2018 Pierce fire engine from Golden State Emergency Vehicle Services Inc. and consider approving a corresponding budget amendment.
Background: While responding to an emergency, a Fire Authority engine suffered body and other damage at the site caused by a third party vehicle. City Risk Management is in contact with the insurance company that will reimburse part or all of the expenses.
Discussion: Garage Staff reached out to the original equipment manufacturer, Goldenstate Emergency Vehicle Services, and got a repair estimate (Attachment 1) for the parts and labor needed to bring the vehicle back to operation. A Purchase Order (Attachment 2) was completed and issued to Goldenstate to begin with the repairs.
There are currently sufficient budgeted funds for this repair but, due to the scale of the expense, Staff is requesting a budget amendment to replenish the vehicle repair account to supply sufficient funds for future repairs. A budget amendment is also being requested for the anticipated insurance proceeds to be received. This is per the invoice submitted by the Risk Management department, provided as Attachment 3.
Recommended Action: Receive report of the acquisition of parts and labor for the repair of a 2018 Pierce Fire Engine from Golden State Emergency Vehicle Services in the amount of $53,505.32, and approve the corresponding budget amendments.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and Possible Introduction by Title Only of an Ordinance Amending Various Sections of Ukiah City Code to Streamline the Use Permit Application Process and Operational Standards for Cannabis-Related Businesses.

1. Cannabis Ordinance Amendment Redline
2. Cannabis Ordinance Amendment Clean
Summary: Council will conduct a public hearing and possibly introduce by title only an Ordinance amending various sections of Ukiah City Code to streamline the use permit application process and operational standards for cannabis-related businesses.
Background: Since the City Council's adoption of the Marijuana Dispensaries Ordinance in 2017, Council has requested annual reports from Staff related to Dispensary Use Permit applications received, approved, and withdrawn; and an evaluation of Ordinance administration and effectiveness. The 2021 annual report on the Cannabis-Related Businesses Ordinance ("the Ordinance") was due to be presented on October 6, 2021, but with over four years of data, Staff delayed the report to analyze if modifications to the Ordinance should be recommended. Staff also discussed the Ordinance's effectiveness with the Planning Commission at their January 12, 2022, regular meeting.
On February 2, 2022, Staff presented the 2021 annual report, which included Staff's recommendation that the Ordinance be modified to streamline or enhance the City's responsiveness to permitting cannabis-related businesses. Staff also recommended Council form an ad hoc committee to review potential ordinance modifications to streamline the permitting/renewal process and other potential considerations. The City Council appointed Mayor Brown and Vice-Mayor Duenas to serve on the Ad Hoc Committee and directed the Ad Hoc and Staff to bring back recommendations for potential Ordinance modification.
Discussion: The Cannabis Ordinance Ad Hoc and Staff met on March 11, 2022, and discussed possible modifications. The recommendations of the Cannabis Ordinance Ad Hoc committee have been incorporated into the proposed Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Ukiah amending various sections of the Ukiah City Code to streamline the use permit application process and operational standards for cannabis related businesses (“Cannabis Ordinance Amendment”). A redlined version of the Cannabis Ordinance Amendment (Attachment 1) and a clean version of the Amendment (Attachment 2) are attached to this report. Below are the Ad Hoc's recommendations to Council, along with supporting information and analysis from Staff.
Cannabis Ordinance Ad Hoc Recommendations and Staff Analysis
1. To the extent possible, consolidate cannabis regulations into a single article in Ukiah City Code.
Consolidating the regulations into a single article should make it simpler for prospective applicants to find
pertinent and applicable regulations for their business types, resulting in time saved during the permit review process. Staff supports this recommendation. The Cannabis Business Ordinance Amendment moves all definitions and regulations specific to cannabis retailers to a new Section 9174.3 to Article 15.7 of Chapter 2 in Division 9 of the Ukiah City Code.
2. Update terminology, definitions, and permit types to mirror State definitions.
State law requires dual licensing- i.e. the securing of both a local permit and a State license prior to operation.
By synchronizing the terminology, time will be saved for the Applicant, Staff, and State during the permitting process. Staff supports this recommendation.
3. Reduce the number of use permit renewals required. Instead of requiring the annual renewal of use permits in perpetuity, require only one renewal after the first year of operation of the cannabis-related business. Define the date upon which the cannabis-related business is in operation as the date the City's business license is received.
Cannabis-related businesses are currently the only businesses operating in the City that require an annual use permit renewal. As indicated in the 2021 annual report, cannabis-related businesses have not negatively impacted the neighborhoods in which they are located. Staff supports the Ad Hoc's recommendation to reduce this regulatory burden for the business, requiring only a one-time renewal.
4. Remove cannabis-specific parking requirements in favor of commercial parking requirements in other zoning districts. Determine parking requirements by the base zoning district's requirements rather than requiring separate parking requirements for cannabis-related businesses.
Current regulations require one parking space for every 200 gross square feet (1 sp/200 sf) of retail space, office space, and similar floor areas for cannabis retailers, whereas commercial parking requirements for noncannabis retail businesses are between 1sp/250 sf and 1 sp/300 sf gross leasable space. The Community Development Department has not seen evidence of more cars parked at cannabis retail establishments than at other types of retail businesses, nor has the Department received complaints related to parking from neighboring businesses. Basing requirements on the base zoning district would treat cannabis retailers the same as other retailers, as well as streamlining the permit review process and avoiding confusion. Staff supports this recommendation.
5. Clarify the Operating Requirements for cannabis retailers (91742.B of the Ordinance), to specify that only the security plans, security site plan, and applicant employee background checks will be maintained by the City as confidential.
The current file confidentiality requirements in Section 5708 of the Code (which are set forth in the new Section 9174.3 in the proposed Cannabis Business Ordinance Amendment) do not clearly define what parts of the use permit file are confidential. Section 5708O states: "Information provided for purposes of this section shall be maintained by the City as confidential information, and shall not be disclosed as public records unless pursuant to subpoena issued by a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise compelled by court order." In recollecting the 2017 meetings of the cannabis ad hoc committee during the drafting of the marijuana dispensaries ordinance, Staff believes the purpose of Section 5708O was to protect the privacy of employees during the required background check process and the security of the business. However, during the drafting of the first ordinance, the specifics of the application process and how regulations would change over time were not known. In practice, and because of the public nature of planning division discretionary use permit files, Staff has treated as confidential employee background checks, security site plans, and security plans.
Proposed by the ad hoc is to more prescriptively define Section 5708O to reflect current practice. Staff supports this recommendation. Since Section 5708 will be repealed by the proposed Cannabis Business Ordinance Amendment, this proposed amendment appears in Section 9174.2.B.8 and applies to all cannabis businesses generally.
6. Enable an administrative withdrawal procedure for all cannabis-related businesses.
For all cannabis businesses except dispensaries, there is an administrative withdrawal procedure in UCC Section 5709D that enables Staff to deem an application as withdrawn if no response to an incomplete letter is received from the Applicant within thirty (30) days. This is a helpful tool that saves both Finance and Community Development Department Staff time in the tracking and processing of outdated and stagnant projects. Proposed with this recommendation is to enable an administrative withdrawal procedure for dispensaries, treating all cannabis-related businesses the same. Staff supports this recommendation.
7. Amend UCC Section 5707A to permit both medical and adult use retail cannabis businesses in the CN (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning district.
UCC Section 5707A currently allows only medical cannabis dispensaries in the CN zoning district. The ad hoc recommendation would add adult use retail so that both medical and adult use retail cannabis businesses are allowed in the CN zoning district.
Given the uses surrounding CN districts, which consist mostly of R1 (single-family residential) and R2 (medium-density residential), plus the proximity limitations to sensitive uses such as schools, it is challenging to establish a cannabis business in a CN zoned district. To date, Department staff have received no applications for cannabis related businesses located on any of the CN zoned parcels. Although Staff supports the Ad Hoc's recommendation, in practice it may continue to be difficult for cannabis-related businesses to locate in CN zoning districts.
Staff recommends Council conduct the public hearing and introduce by title only the Ordinance in Attachment 2 amending various sections of the Ukiah City Code to streamline the use permit application process and operational standards for cannabis related businesses.
Recommended Action: Conduct a public hearing and introduce by title only the Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Ukiah amending various sections of the Ukiah City Code to streamline the use permit application process and operational standards for cannabis-related businesses.

ITEM NO: 2022-1775
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approve Contract with HdL Companies for Tax and Fee Administration Services for Transient Occupancy, and Approve Corresponding Budget Amendment.
DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Dan Buffalo, Finance Director PRESENTER: Ginny Feth-Michel, Assistant Finance Director ATTACHMENTS:
1. ASR 4-6-22
2. Ukiah HdL TOT Proposal
Summary: Council will consider re-authorizing the City Manager to execute a three-year contract with HdL Companies (“HdL”) for audit and financial management assistance of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax.
Background: Council considered this item on April 6, 2022, and approved the City Manager to execute an agreement with the following two conditions:
1. HdL commits to ensuring a positive professional audit experience while conducting TOT audits of the City's hotelers and short-term housing providers (AirBNB, VRBO, etc.)
2. HdL will allow the City to discontinue short-term rental monitoring component of the contract if the revenue recovered from that monitoring does not exceed the cost of HdL services for doing so.
HdL reaffirmed its commitment to the first condition as stated in its proposal, and the City retains remedies in the unlikely event that HdL does not deliver on that commitment.
HdL did not agree to the second condition but instead held to the one-year pricing option in its proposal, which could be more costly to the City if it terminates after that one year or does realize revenues greater than the cost of service and decides to continue for successive years.
A copy of the former ASR from April 6, 2022, is Attachment 1 for reference. The proposal from HdL is included here as Attachment 2.
Discussion: Staff recommends re-authorizing the City Manager to sign the agreement with HdL electing the standard three-year pricing in its proposal. The alternative one-year proposal may likely be more costly to the City and is not recommended by Staff. As the regional economy continues to improve (short of any potential recession), short-term rentals and the demand for lodging services will continue to grow and will likely result in recovered revenues that will support the associated costs.
The proposal includes a CPI component. Fees will be increased as of January 1st of each calendar year with reference to the 12-month percent change in the most recently published annual Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), West Region, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (the “CPI Change”). Each annual increase in the fees will be equal to the greater of two percent (2%) or the actual CPI Change and the lesser of ten percent (10%) or the actual CPI Change. For example, if the actual CPI change is 1.5%, then the annual increase will be 2%. If the actual CPI change is 3.5%, then the annual increase will
be 3.5%, and if the actual CPI change is 12%, then the annual increase will be 10%. Note, this is a term contract (3 years) and will be re-evaluated and priced at the conclusion of the term.
Recommended Action: Re-authorize the City Manager to execute a three-year contract with HdL Companies for audit and financial assistance services of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue - including short term rental compliance, and authorize the corresponding budget amendment.

DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Ginny Michel, Assistant Finance Director PRESENTER: Ginny Feth-Michel, Assistant Finance Director ATTACHMENTS:
1. 20220330 Revised Ukiah HdL TOT Proposal
2. Cost Analysis
Summary: Council will consider authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a three-year contract with HdL Companies (“HdL”) for audit and financial management assistance of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax, and approve a corresponding budget amendment.
Background: In November 2006, the voters of the City of Ukiah passed Measure X, which raised the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) in the City from 8% to 10%. City Council Resolution No. 2006-68 ("Resolution"), as amended August 28, 2006, specified that for the first two years after the increase went into effect, 75% of the additional revenue produced by the tax increase would be spent on promotion of the City of Ukiah and its tourist industry, and 50% thereafter. The Resolution provides that the revenues expended for promotion of the City of Ukiah and its tourist industry shall be administered by the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce, subject to an annual performance agreement with the City of Ukiah.
Below is a historical summary of TOT collections.
The Finance Department conducted an internal review of the processes in place for administrating Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”) and concluded that exploring external options for TOT administration may improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the TOT monitoring and collection process. The most effective option for Attachment 1
outside administration was presented by HdL Companies. HdL currently provides sales tax monitoring and audit services to the City, and is well experienced and qualified to provide TOT services.
Discussion: Given the importance of TOT revenues to City operations, and the known presence of a large number of short-term rentals within the city limits, the Finance Department performed an evaluation of the process for communicating, tracking, collecting and monitoring TOT revenues. The City is currently administering Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”) internally with one staff member and oversight by a Financial Service Manager. Timely receipt of monthly TOT returns, tracking of payments, late fees and limited data monitoring is accomplished using an excel spreadsheet. Those required to file TOT returns have access to limited information on the City’s website; a non-fillable form is available for download from the City's website.
As the Finance department becomes aware of new lodging establishments, a Staff member contacts the establishment and provides forms and answers any questions. For example, when the new Holiday Inn Express & Suites opened in January of 2022, a finance Staff member contacted the hotel and provided them with the City’s TOT form and related information.
Many large cities have internal audit departments that would be charged with auditing TOT compliance.
Smaller municipalities generally contract for these services. The Department for several years planned to conduct a TOT audit, programming it in the budget regularly. The appropriation was not used, and it has not been re-appropriated since FY 2020. The pandemic effects on the city's hotels gave Staff pause to push an audit forward; however, as the economy improves and travel begins to return to normal, now is the time to reengage. Further, the prevalence of short-term rentals in the city necessitates a closer look to ensure TOT is being collected and remitted to the City appropriately.
On December 8, 2021, a Proposal was obtained from HdL. An evaluation team consisting of the City's Finance Controller, Assistant Finance Director, and the Finance Director reviewed the response, and asked a series of questions to HdL, to ensure a good fit for the City and the businesses required to comply with TOT requirements. The evaluation team concluded that HdL's services, including on-line filing, payment processing, education, compliance monitoring, auditing, and short term rental identification will meet the needs of the City, provide excellent potential to increase TOT collections and provide an easy to use business internet application for TOT return submission and payment of taxes and fees.
HdL Companies’ proposal is provided as Attachment 1, which proposes to provide the requested services in an amount of $850 per property per year plus 50% of all discovered revenue from short-term rentals up to $1,900 per year, whichever is higher for a period of three years. Attached as Attachment 2 is an estimate of current staffing costs and a comparison to the HdL proposal. Not included in the estimate is any additional TOT collected as a result of HdL audits and short-term rental identification. Those amounts would be subject to a case-by-case basis.
It is therefore Staff's recommendation to award a contract to HdL for TOT audit and financial management assistance services, authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the resulting agreement, and approve the corresponding budget amendment.
Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a three-year contract with HdL Companies for audit and financial assistance services of the City's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue - including short term rental compliance, and authorize the corresponding budget amendment.

In order to verify and augment the data, the audit team will compile a variety of supplemental information on each property, including number of rooms, occupancy rate, physical condition, and business dynamics. Data is then further scrutinized in order to identify unusual or suspicious reporting and/or other variables that indicate cause for further review. Information and findings are documented in the analysis report for review with the Agency.
Analysis Review – Upon completion of the analysis report, meetings are scheduled with the agency to review the results as well as identify and recommend lodging providers who require additional investigation or examination to determine their compliance with the Agency’s ordinance.

Appointments are also scheduled to review the findings and educate taxpayers on proper filing procedures designed to prevent future errors and deficiencies.
Lodging providers found to be compliant are sent a commendation letter thanking them for their cooperation and compliance.
Invoicing & Collections – Lodging providers found to be underreporting are invoiced through the standard Agency approved collections process identical to the procedures approved for other Programs.

During the registration process, HdL offers a variety of support options to the community including online filing, file-by-phone, email, and registration via standard mail. HdL tax and license specialists are available throughout the process to provide support to the STR community and to assist in the registration process.
Education, Registration, and Compliance
Using the list of active STR listings, HdL conducts a series of City approved education-based programs ranging from mailers to direct phone contacts. Each packet contains all the information necessary to obtain registration and comply with local requirements. HdL assists STR hosts throughout the program with information and support with all aspects of becoming compliant. During this program, HdL will:
• Validate listing to ensure proper identification and filter out records that may lead to erroneous contacts.
• Notify non-compliant entities with a series of education-based packets designed to garner compliance.
• Provide a support center for assistance with general questions, support, and assistance with filing and paying returns.
• Provide online portal with links to FAQs, education packets, and support for registering, filing returns, and making payments online. • Follow up with non-compliant accounts to obtain registration • Work with City to identify additional requirements and ensure collection of data necessary to enforcement procedures.
• Establish optional implementation items such as amnesty programs, back tax and penalty provisions, and other pre-registration programs.

2. Power Cost Surcharge
Summary: The Ukiah City Council will receive a report on energy costs, and provide direction to Staff on scheduling a Public Hearing to consider adoption of a Power Cost Surcharge Rider.
Background: In June, Council received a presentation (Attachment 1) on energy market conditions and the impacts of drought, natural gas prices, and inflation on the Electric Utility's budget. Due to the drought, hydroelectric facilities are seeing a decrease in water storage at levels around 50% of normal years. With the record low levels, hydro production is expected to provide significantly less energy for California customers this summer. Natural gas prices are elevated due to geopolitical pressures and reduced supply, and inflation has driven prices on the energy market up 32% - four times that of inflation. These issues have had a significant impact on the Electric Utility's budget.
In February, Council approved a yearly rate increase that incorporated projected energy cost numbers for five years. Following the approval of the increase, the effects of the drought, natural gas prices, and inflation have resulted in the energy forward cost projections to increase significantly - up to five times during some months.
These increases resulted in an increased expense budget that was approved by Council in June.
Discussion: In an effort to mitigate the increased expenses associated with procuring resources, Staff is recommending the implementation of a Power Cost Surcharge (Surcharge). The Surcharge would be applied to all electric rates and be applied to every kilowatt-hour (kWh) that is sold. The Surcharge would be calculated using a 12-month total of expenses divided by the total number of kWh procured and then be compared to that same value as of January 2022. The difference would be the Surcharge ($/kWh) that will be applied. The implementation of the Surcharge would begin on October 1, 2022, and happen every six months thereafter. The value of the Surcharge can be positive or negative and would be based on actual costs to the Electric Utility. Therefore, as power costs decrease, customer bills would be reduced. A copy of the proposed Surcharge Rider is included as Attachment 2.
Staff is seeking direction from Council on scheduling a Public Hearing to consider the adoption of the Power Cost Surcharge.
Recommended Action: Receive report and provide direction to Staff on scheduling a Public Hearing to consider adoption of a Power Cost Surcharge Rider.

Attachment 2
City of Ukiah Power Cost Surcharge Rider
The Power Cost Surcharge (Surcharge) is a per kilowatt-hour (kWh) charge that is used to ensure an adequate revenue stream to cover all power costs incurred by Ukiah Electric’s system: including generation, management of Utility owned facilities, and transmission costs through Northern California Power Agency (NCPA). The Surcharge will be assessed to all customers as an additional charge per kWh to their standard rate.
Calculation:
A 12-month running sum of actual metered dollars invoiced and metered kWh of load for the previous 12 months of the NCPA Net All Resources Bill (ARB) will be maintained. The Surcharge Factor for a particular month will be calculated as the previous12-month sum of actual metered NCPA net ARB invoiced amounts divided by the previous 12-month sum of the NCPA ARB metered kWh monthly loads adjusted for distribution losses. The Surcharge is set as the difference between Surcharge Factor of the semi-annual month and the January 2022 Surcharge Factor. The Surcharge can be negative or positive.
The Surcharge is implemented semi-annually on October 1 st and April 1st, with the first
ECA to begin on October 1, 2022.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Consideration of New Ad Hoc Committee to Participate in the Recruitment Process for a New Police Chief.
DEPARTMENT: City Manager /
Admin PREPARED BY: Shannon Riley, Deputy City Manager
PRESENTER: Sage Sangiacomo, City Manager
ATTACHMENTS:
None
Summary: Council will receive a report regarding the proposal to procure a specialty firm to assist the City with a customized and objective search for a new Police Chief, and will appoint two Councilmembers to serve on an ad hoc that will participate in the process.
Background: Following the unanticipated release of the former Police Chief in June, City Management is looking toward the selection process for a permanent replacement and recommends the development of an integrated recruitment and selection process with direct participation and leadership from the City Council.
Discussion: In the past two years, locally, there have been a significant number of high-profile incidents involving the police department. Similarly, nationwide, law enforcement has faced increased scrutiny and, in many cases, demands for major reform. Law enforcement work has changed dramatically over the last two decades. Youth who envisioned a satisfying career of protecting our communities now find themselves managing neglected cases of mental illness, skyrocketing drug abuse (coupled with deregulation), homelessness, and more, all with a shortage of tools or answers. These pressures, along with the high demands and chronic stress of the job, have had a negative impact on recruitment and retention industrywide.
It will be the responsibility of City leadership—from both the Police Department and the City Manager’s Office-- to navigate the impacts of these nationwide trends and the local conditions in order to facilitate the development of a high-functioning, community-oriented department. Therefore, the City intends to cast a wide net for recruitment in the interest of transparency and objectivity. In addition, the City Manager, in conjunction with the Purchasing Division, intends to develop and release a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a specialty firm to assist the City with a customized and objective search for a new Police Chief.
City Manager Sangiacomo recommends the development of a City Council Ad Hoc Committee to help guide this process. This committee would be tasked with working in partnership with the City Manager’s Office and Human Resources to provide direct leadership and oversight throughout the complete recruitment process.
Recommended Action: Appoint two ad hoc committee members to participate in the recruitment process for a new Police Chief.

1. 2022 City Council Special Assignments
Summary: City Council members will provide reports and updates on their committee and ad hoc assignments. If necessary, the Council may consider modifications.
Background: City Council members are assigned to a number of committees and ad hoc activities. These assignments are included as Attachment 1.
Discussion: Previously, the City Council discussed having more time allocated to reporting on committee and ad hoc activities. Often, the Council Reports section of the regular agenda is rushed due to impending business (i.e., public hearings), and not enough time is afforded for reports beyond community activities.
In an effort to foster regular updates on committee and ad hoc assignments, this item is being placed on the agenda to provide the City Council members an expanded opportunity to report on assignments and modify assignments as necessary.
Recommended Action: Receive report(s). The Council will consider modifications to committee and ad hoc assignments along with the creation/elimination ad hoc(s).
