ITEM NO: 2023-2856

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Status Report of the Emergency Contract with West Coast Fire & Water for Fire Remediation Work at the Electric Utility Service Center at Hastings.

DEPARTMENT: Electric Utility PREPARED BY: Cindy Sauers, Electric Utility Director PRESENTER: Cindy Sauers, Electric Utility Director.

ATTACHMENTS:

None
Summary: The Council will receive a status report of the emergency contract with West Coast Fire & Water for fire remediation work at the Electric Utility Service Center at Hasting, and will consider approving the work to continue under the emergency contract.

Background: The Ukiah City Council approved the purchase of 2.8 acres with a 15,800 sq. ft. building located at 1350 Hasting Rd (The Electric Service Center) to house the Electric Utility Department’s operations. The Electric Service Center will centralize electric operations for Engineering, Construction and Technical Services. In addition, the Department intends to use the Electric Service Center for training, material warehousing and construction preparation.

On August 5, 2020, the City Council adopted the plans and specifications for the grading, fencing, roofing and electric equipment relocation. This work was completed on March 2, 2023.

On the morning of March 8, 2023, a fire broke out at the Electric Utility Department's Service Center located at 1350 Hastings Road. The source of the fire was the electrical failure of a bathroom ceiling fan. The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority responded to the incident, and was successful in putting the fire out. However, significant smoke and water damage occurred, as well as structural damage to the building.

West Coast Fire and Water was contacted and was able to respond in a timely manner to assess the fire, smoke and water damage. They were able to secure the building and cover exposed areas to prevent additional water intrusion from the impending precipitation. The City Purchasing, Risk Management, and Electric Departments worked with McLarens, the Claims Adjuster for the City's self-insured liability Program through its membership in the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA), and West Coast Water and Fire to develop a Scope of Work and Contract for the remediation of the fire, water, and smoke damage. Please see Attachment 2 for a copy of the agreement.

There are no expected costs to the City at the time, as the City opted to review all invoices and provide authority to McLarens to pay West Coast directly. The City, however, executed a contract with West Coast Fire and Water to complete the Scope of Work.

The initial cost estimate for this remediation was over $200,000. The scope of work that is being performed under this contract falls under the definition of "public project", as it involves demolition and repair work involving a publicly owned facility. The City Manager, under his authority, authorized proceeding with the work as an emergency, since the event was sudden and unexpected, and required immediate action for the protection of City (public) property. Due to structural issues, and immediate mold growth, time was of the

essence, and bidding for this work as per the normal requirements of the California Uniform Cost Accounting Act, was not an option. Under these circumstances, public bidding is excused. At their Council meeting on April 5, 2023, the Council initially received the report regarding this contract, and approved by a four-fifths vote (one councilmember absent) for the work to continue under these emergency circumstances.

Discussion: As of Friday, April 7, 2023, the remediation work on the structure was completed. After two rounds of cleaning the electronics, all items have been returned and appear to be in working order. The City has a two-year warranty period should there be additional issues with the equipment. As part of the assessment of damages, McLarens required an independent estimate of damage to restore the building to pre-fire condition. This was required to evaluate the estimate provided by the City's structural engineering consultant and architect. Currently, the City is waiting on the results of this estimate. Staff will continue to work with West Coast Fire and Water and the insurance provider to wrap up these items.

Staff is requesting the Council's approval to continue using the emergency contract.

Recommended Action: Receive a status report, and approve the continued work on the emergency contract with West Coast Fire & Water for Fire Remediation Work at the Electric Utility Service Center at Hastings.

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 1

2 the persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the local agency are trustees, and, therefore, subject to the Prudent Investor Standard. 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 ensure that regulations are being adhered to and that strategies are being followed.

7. Conflict of Interest: In accordance with California Government Code sections 1090, et Attachment 1

3 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.

California Quietly Shelves $15 Billion
Pension Divestment Bill
The California State Capitol in Sacramento. Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg By Eliyahu Kamisher
July 3, 2023 at 2:18 PM PDT
The California State Assembly has shelved legislation that would have forced the country’s two largest pension funds to divest an estimated $15 billion from oil and gas companies, a major blow to environmental advocates who hoped the funds could be a national model for the divestment movement.

SB-252, which passed the state Senate in May, won’t be given a floor vote, according to the bill’s lead author, Senator Lena Gonzalez of Los Angeles County. The legislation has been converted to a two-year bill, meaning lawmakers will have the opportunity to address the measure in the next session.
“I’m committed to bringing this bill up again next year,” Gonzalez said.

Under the proposal, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System and the California State Teachers Retirement System would have been required to remove assets of large oil and gas companies by 2031 and halt any new investments by 2024.

Marcie Frost, CEO of Calpers, previously signaled her opposition, saying the bill would “do nothing to combat the dangers of climate change.”
“We respect assembly member McKinnor’s decision to take more time to understand the impact of the bill to our pension funds and members and employers,” Calpers spokesperson Brad Pacheco said, referring to Tina McKinnor, head of the Assembly Committee on Public Employment and Retirement, where the legislation was held.

The decision marks the second year in a row a pension fund divestment bill has passed the state Senate only to die in the lower house amid opposition from the funds, which manage a combined $822.3 billion in assets.

The proposal highlighted divisions among California’s Democratic supermajority. Lawmakers were forced to choose between climate change priorities and concerns that divestment could threaten the financial health of municipalities already burdened with pension fund Attachment 2

liabilities.

California’s powerful labor interests were also divided on the bill. Unions representing firefighters and construction trades were against the measure, while a major teachers’ union and the California Nurses Association backed it. “We’re committed to achieving a net zero investment portfolio that achieves the goals of the bill through engagement with companies, investments in alternative energies and addressing climate risks,” Pacheco said.

Will California’s largest pensions, CalPERS and CalSTRS, divest from fossil fuels? BY GRACE GEDYE , JUNE 29, 2023 UPDATED JULY 5, 2023

IN SUMMARY
Climate activists and some lawmakers want two of California’s pension funds to shed about $15 billion of fossil fuel holdings. They say the move would reduce oil and gas companies’ political power, but opponents say it would be a bad move financially.

July 5: The chair of the Assembly Committee on Public Employment and Retirement committee, Tina McKinnor, decided to not hear SB 252 in the committee, meaning it will not pass this year, according to the bill author’s of ice. The bill will get another chance next year.

Listen to this article

Climate activists and retirees have pushed retirement funds in Maine and New York to sell their stocks in fossil fuel companies. The push is called “divestment”, and it’s a move that the University of California has embraced as well.

Now, divestment may be coming to more pensions near you.

The California Legislature is considering a bill that would require the pension funds for state workers and teachers to sell holdings in the 200 largest publicly traded fossil fuel companies by July 2031. The bill would also stop the funds from making new investments in those companies starting in 2024.

These pension funds aren’t simple bank accounts, they’re big-time institutional investors. The California Public Employees’ Retirement System has about $459 billion in assets, making it the largest public pension fund in the nation and one of the largest private equity investors in the world according to the agency’s website. When it changes tack, the world of finance takes note.

The California State Teachers’ Retirement System is the second largest public pension fund in the U.S. Together, the two pension funds cover more than 3 million Californians and their families.

Proponents of the bill say it’s important that California put its money where its mouth is, so to speak, on climate policy. Foes of the move say anything that might hurt investment returns should be off the table.

Photo by Rahul Lal for CalMatters “We’re not saying the intentions around this are not good,” said Marcie Frost, CEO of CalPERS, in an interview with CalMatters. “But they’re not coming through an investor lens. It feels like they’re coming through a morality lens. And we can’t use our own personal values, or our personal morals, to be able to decide how we invest the assets of this portfolio.”
Both pensions are underfunded; if either had to immediately pay out all the benefits they owe, they wouldn’t have enough money.

If CalPERS and CalSTRS shed their investments in the largest oil and gas companies, what would it mean for the teachers and state workers counting on their retirement checks?
Why climate activists are pushing for divestment
For some, it would be a relief.
“When I was younger, I was told by the adults around me that I should work toward obtaining a career with the state of California,” said Francis Macias, a state parks employee who called into a pension fund board meeting in March. A member of the advocacy group Fossil Free California, she said those same adults had told her such a job would come with perks like stable hours — and a nice pension.

But now, Macias said, “I feel like I’m living in a nightmare. Every day, I experience great anxiety knowing my hard-earned pension is funding climate collapse.” The state worker pension fund has an estimated $9.4 billion in energy company investments it would have to divest under the proposed bill, about 2% of the fund. On the list are companies you’ve probably heard of, including Exxon Mobil and Shell, and ones you probably haven’t, such as Ovintiv Inc. and Cenovus Energy. The teachers’ pension fund would have to divest an estimated $5.4 billion, or about 1.7% of its assets.

The bill’s backers include many environmental and climate groups, as well as some unions representing workers who receive pensions, such as the California Faculty Association and the California Nurses Association. But there are other unions, like the California Professional Firefighters and the State Building and Construction Trades Council, that oppose the effort, along with California State Retirees, an organization for retired state workers, and the leadership of the pension funds themselves.

The goal of divestment pushes, climate advocates say, isn’t to directly reduce emissions. “It’s about calling (fossil fuel companies) out on their immoral activities, and the political consequences of that, which is weakening them politically, so that politicians stop taking their money and politicians stop doing their bidding,” said Carlos Davidson, a retired faculty member of San Francisco State University who receives a pension. He worked on a divestment campaign at the university, and has been involved in the push to divest the state workers’ pension for nearly a decade. “It is true that divestment does not have direct financial impacts on companies,” Davidson said. “It’s the political effects that really matter. And that is a harder, longerterm, more fuzzy process.” Davidson lives in Pacifica, off of a combination of his pension and social security benefits. “I could not have retired and I could not pay my bills right now if I didn’t have my [state] pension,” he said.

What are the costs of divestment?
There’s also a camp that thinks divestment would be a bad move financially. That camp includes the leadership of both pension funds.

At the state worker pension fund, the investment and actuarial teams estimated that if the fund sold off its fossil fuel holdings it would get lower returns on its investments, translating to an extra $327.6 million in costs per year for 20 years for employers, like schools, and state and local governments, to meet obligations to retirees.

The state worker pension fund has divested before — from Iran, Sudan, thermal coal, and more. In 2001, the fund divested its tobacco company holdings, worth about $525 million according to news reports at the time. In the more than 20 years since, that move has translated to about $4.3 billion in lost investment profits, according to a 2022 report from Wilshire Advisors. But some divestments, like those from thermal coal, and Iran, have translated to small gains.

When economists from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland compared the financial performance of investment portfolios with and without fossil fuel company stocks from 1927-2016, they found that divested portfolios “would not have significantly underperformed” during that period.
“It’s not just the oil and gas industry,” said pension fund CEO Frost. “What’s next? Divestment from the airline industry, who uses a lot of oil and gas?” she said. “Pretty soon you get to the point that (the pension) has nothing to invest in” and there’s no way to hit the high investment returns the pension fund is tasked with hitting, she said.

This isn’t the first legislative push for fossil fuel divestment. Last year a similar bill was passed by the Senate, and then died in the Assembly’s committee on public employment and retirement. It might have a better shot this time, thanks to some political musical chairs. Previously, the Assembly’s public employment committee was led by Jim Cooper, an Elk Grove Democrat who was opposed to the Legislature directing state pension funds on how to invest, Frost said. Now he’s left the Assembly, and the committee has a new chairperson, Tina McKinnor, a Democrat from Inglewood.

A complicating factor is that the pension funds have a “fiduciary duty” under California’s constitution. That means that the people overseeing the funds are legally required to invest prudently, and act exclusively to benefit the fund’s members. “It’s the political effects that really matter. And that is a harder, longer-term, more fuzzy process.” — CARLOS DAVIDSON, RETIRED FACULTY MEMBER OF SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY WHO RECEIVES A PENSION

PROUDLY POWERED BY NEWSPACK BY AUTOMATTIC
Some of the bill’s opponents say that requiring the funds to divest from fossil fuels would conflict with their fiduciary duty to their members, including the California Professional Firefighters, a union.
“Forcing any California pension system to make investment decisions that may harm the fund in an attempt, in this case, to affect global climate policy, violates their fiduciary mandate and puts the retirements of hard-working Californians at risk,” wrote president Brian Rice in a statement.

Already, the concept of fiduciary responsibility is causing legal headaches for divestment efforts. Three New York City pension funds are being sued for allegedly violating their fiduciary duties after they divested $4 billion in fossil fuel holdings.

Ultimately, it’s up to the pension funds themselves to determine whether divesting would conflict with their mandate.

The state worker pension fund hasn’t done a full analysis yet, but, said Frost, “my impression on this is that it would violate the board’s fiduciary duty to do this.” The bill has an escape clause of sorts, making it clear that the pension funds don’t have to sell off their investments if doing so would conflict with their fiduciary duties.

That means there’s a scenario in which the Legislature passes the bill and then the funds say that divesting goes against their responsibilities to the beneficiaries, and nothing changes in practice.

Davidson, the retiree pushing for divestment, says that’s not the outcome he’s expecting.

But it wouldn’t be all bad, he said. What really matters is the politics, and “the vote of the California Legislature to divest is really powerful, and that’s going to get press coverage around the world,” Davidson said. “That is part of the outcome that we want.”

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Annual Report Regarding Boards and Commissions Term Expirations and Appointments, and Adoption of Resolution Making Appointments to Various Boards and Commissions.

DEPARTMENT: City Clerk PREPARED BY: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk PRESENTER: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk
ATTACHMENTS:

1. Ukiah Daily Journal Public Notice

2. Vacancy Notice and Boards and Commissions Rosters

3. Donovan Albright Application and Nomination for the Airport Commission

4. Mark Ashiku Application and Nomination for the Airport Commission

5. Lorena Akin Application for the Design Review Board

6. David Lieberman Application and Nomination for the Diversity and Equity Committee

7. Proposed Resolution
Summary: The City Council will receive an annual report on the term expirations and vacancies on the City Boards and Commissions, and consider adoption of a resolution making appointments to various Boards and Commissions, if any applications are received before the July 19th meeting.

Background: Each year in July, the Clerk's office posts a general notice in the Ukiah DailyJournal to let the public know that there are vacancies on the City of Ukiah's Boards and Commissions, and the location they can find the listings of these open positions (Attachment 1).

The most current vacancy announcements and full rosters are posted on the City’s website (https://cityofukiah.com/boards-commissions-committees/), in the glass display case in front of the Civic Center, in the Public View Binder in the front lobby of City Hall, and at the local library throughout the year (Attachment 2 shows the most recent posting).

Discussion: Most active positions on the Boards and Commissions are currently filled, with the following vacant seats still available:

Airport Commission– two positions for the Airport Commission - City Resident and County Resident - are currently vacant due to term expirations. The vacancies were posted on June 26, 2023, and the Clerk's office reached out to the incumbents to see if they were interested in reapplying for the positions. Both incumbents have submitted applications seeking reappointment, with no other applications having been received. Donovan Albright (Attachment 3 - Application* and Nomination), has served on the Commission since 2010, and also serves on the Countywide Airport Land Use Commission; Councilmember Crane, being the next in line to make a nomination, has nominated Mr. Albright for reappointment to the Airport Commission - County Resident position. Mark Ashiku (Attachment 4 - Application and Nomination) has served on the Commission since 2017; Councilmember Orozco being next in line following Councilmember Crane has nominated Mr. Ashiku.

(*Note: an incumbent on the Airport Commission is not required to fill out a questionnaire; therefore, the questionnaire portion of this application is blank.)
Building Board of Appeals – Seven positions are available (4 Members; 3 Alternates). This board is mandated by California Building Code Section 112 and adopted by the City Council by way of Resolution No. 2010-29, on July 21, 2010. The board meets on an as-needed basis, but has not met in over 10 years.

Demolition Permit Review Committee – One position is open for a City of Ukiah Resident with Expertise in Architecture, Building, or Closely Related Field. This committee meets very infrequently, but when it does meet it would be helpful to have a full Committee.

Design Review Board – A position is open for a City Resident/Property of Business Owner representative, and has been noticed since December 16, 2022. An application has been received from Lorena Akin (**Attachment 5), who meets the qualifications for the position, but lives outside the residential requirement, with no other applications having been received. The Clerk's office reached out to Kali Gordan, who is another Design Review Board member who lives within the city limits, but is currently occupying a Community at Large position. Ms. Gordan is willing to switch over to the city resident position to open up the At-large seat for Ms. Akin.

In respect to the Design Review Board, the Ukiah City Code (UCC) Section 1163 states: Board members shall have sufficient education and/or experience to perform and fulfill the duties required in section 1169 of this code. This education and/or experience may consist of a college degree, professional license, or employment experience in architecture and design, landscape architecture, building contracting, urban planning, civil engineering, or similar field of study. Alternatively, the City Council may determine that a combination of education and/or experience in lieu of a college degree, professional license, or employment experience may qualify a candidate for the Board. Staff has reviewed Ms. Akin's application, and determined that Ms. Akin’s experience and education meets these requirements, and therefore, is recommending that Council make the appointment.
(**Note - this position is appointed by the full Council; a written nomination is not necessary as the appointment will serve as the nomination as well.)
Diversity and Equity Committee– Two positions are currently vacant:
• Persons Whose Primary Language is Not English - has recently become vacant due to term expiration and the vacancy has been noticed since June 26, 2023. The incumbent was approached to see if he would like to reapply for the position. No applications have been received to date. • Seniors 65 Years or Older position - has been noticed since April 6, 2023. An application has been received from David Lieberman (Attachment 6 - Application and Nomination), who meets the qualifications with no other applications having been received.

Public Spaces Commission – One Commissioner At-large, City or County Resident position is open, and has been noticed since May 20, 2022, with no applications having been received. This commission meets on a regular basis.

Candidates for the various positions are brought to Council for possible appointment throughout the year as qualified applications are received. Positions being sought by incumbents are also available to any public members who meet the qualifications and wish to apply. Details and applications are available from the City Clerk’s office (707-463-6217; [email protected]).

Staff is recommending that Council receive this report, and adopt the resolution (Attachment 7) making the current batch of appointments to various Boards and Commissions. Additionally, going forward, Board and Commission appointments will routinely be placed under New Business for a brief consideration, discussion - only if necessary, and action.

Recommended Action: Receive the report regarding the Boards and Commission term expirations and appointments, and adopt the Resolution Making Appointments to Various Boards and Commissions.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Receive Updates on City Council Committee and Ad Hoc Assignments, and, if Necessary, Consider Modifications to Assignments and/or the Creation/Elimination of Ad Hoc(s).

1. City Council Special Assignments - rev 6-22-23
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).
