MOMENT OF SILENCE
The City Attorney read the following statement into the record, which was followed by a moment of silence honoring Judge David Nelson:
A large circle of judges, former judges, colleagues, family, long-time friends and others whose life he touched mourn the loss on February 17 of Judge David Nelson. He died peacefully surrounded by his family, listening to the music he loved.
Dave was a criminal defense lawyer, one of the best in the County, before he was appointed as a superior court judge in the Mendocino County Superior Court. Before that he played football for Stanford University, attended Yale law school, spent a year working for DNA Legal Services on the Navaho Indian Reservation and a number of years as a public defender in Contra Costa County.
He was a gentle giant who had empathy for others and a wonderful sense of humor. There will be an empty space in Ukiah with his passing, but Ukiah has been enriched by the many years he worked and played here and contributed to the community.

DEPARTMENT: Community Services PREPARED BY: Neil Davis, Community Services Director PRESENTER: Neil Davis, Community Development Director
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Rusty Bowl Draft Lease
Summary: Council will consider renewal of the existing lease of a portion of Riverside Park to Rusty Bowl BMX, Inc.
Background: The Rusty Bowl BMX track was originally built and has been continuously in use and maintained by local volunteers at its current location at Riverside Park since 1984. The volunteers of the Rusty Bowl work under a lease agreement with the City of Ukiah allowing them the use of property at a de minimis cost of one dollar per year. The volunteers maintain and operate the track with virtually no help from City staff, and at no cost to the City. The volunteers manage their actions and programs through an open and transparent process with a governing board overseeing operations. The governing body oversees all necessary fundraising to cover the operations and maintenance, including providing low-cost options and grants, largely removing cost as a barrier to participation for the youth of Ukiah.
The programs, practices, and races held at the Rusty Bowl provide opportunities for healthy skill development, physical fitness, and positive approaches to competition throughout the year for both young and old. The Rusty Bowl volunteers organize and promote at least one major competition per year, attracting hundreds of visitors to the Ukiah Valley. On June 2nd-4th 2023, the Rusty Bowl held a State Race Weekend attracting over 700 participants and well over 1000 attendees to a State Qualifier and Pro-Am tournament, contributing to the health, economic vitality, and reputation of the Ukiah Valley.
Discussion: The Rusty Bowl Track is located on City property at Riverside Park and its use is governed by a lease with a term which expired on March 1, 2024. Staff has reviewed and made minor updates to the agreement, the map, and the Insurance requirements (Attachment 1). Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and renew the lease of a portion of Riverside Park to Rusty Bowl BMX, Inc.
Recommended Action: Authorize the City Manager to Negotiate and Renew the Lease of a Portion of Riverside Park to Rusty Bowl BMX, Inc.

1. Ukiah Engagement Letter FY 2024 (4)
Summary: Staff is requesting Council to award a three-year agreement for audit services to Van Lant & Fankhanel, LLP, in amount not to exceed $126,200, and to approve two 2-year extensions, if applicable.
Background: The City's current auditing contract with Van Lant & Fankhanel, LLC, has completed the fiscal year 2023 audit. Ukiah Valley Fire District uses the same auditing company, Van Lant and Fankhanel, LLC, and their contract ends with the fiscal year 2026 audit. Staff recommends entering into another three-year contract with Van Lant and Fankhanel, LLC, to align the City's audit contract with the UVFD audit contract.
Discussion: Van Lant & Fankhanel has been the City's auditors since 2015. The two principals of the firm, who will be working directly with the City, have over forty years of combined experience auditing cities and other governmental agencies throughout California.
The annual scope of work will include City audit and related reports, Single audit, Report of financial transactions to State Controller, Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and Street Report.
The not-to-exceed fees for these services are outlined below.
Please refer to Attachment 1 for a copy of the engagement letter. Staff recommends approving a three-year contract with Van Lant and Fankhanel, LLC for audit services for the amount not to exceed $126,200, and the option of two 2-year extensions. This will be budgeted for the next fiscal year, and each subsequent year of the agreement. Staff has been satisfied with the services provided by the firm.
Recommended Action: Approve a 3-year contract with Van Lant & Fankhanel, LLP for audit services in the amount of $126,200, and to approve two 2-year extensions, if applicable.

To: Management and the City Council
City of Ukiah

Ukiah, CA 95482
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide the City of Ukiah (City) for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Audit Scope and Objectives
We will audit the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information, including the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the basic financial statements, of the City as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), to supplement the City’s basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to the City’s RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We will not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. The following RSI is required by generally accepted accounting principles and will be subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be audited:
1) Management’s Discussion and Analysis
2) Budgetary comparison schedules.
3) Pension RSI.
We have also been engaged to report on supplementary information other than RSI that accompanies the City’s financial statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, and we will provide an opinion on it in relation to the financial statements as a whole, in a report combined with our auditor’s report on the financial statements:
1) Schedule of expenditures of federal awards.
2) Combining schedules.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, we will read the following other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. 1) Introductory Section
2) Statistical Section
1 ATTACHMENT 1
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions about whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP, and report on the fairness of the supplementary information referred to in the second paragraph when considered in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements, including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment of a reasonable user made based on the financial statements. The objectives also include reporting on:
Internal control over financial reporting and compliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and award agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.
Internal control over compliance related to major programs and an opinion (or disclaimer of opinion) on compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards that could have a direct and material effect on each major program in accordance with the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements and Single Audit We will conduct our audit in accordance with GAAS; the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996; and the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major program(s) in accordance with Uniform Guidance, and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We will evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management. We will also evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and determine whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the government or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the government.
Because the determination of waste and abuse is subjective, Government Auditing Standards do not expect auditors to perform specific procedures to detect waste or abuse in financial audits nor do they expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting waste or abuse.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control, and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements or noncompliance may not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements or on major programs. However, we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors, any fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets that come to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. We will include such matters in the reports required for a Single Audit. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors.
We will also conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the government’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected individuals, funding sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We will also request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement. 2
We may, from time to time and depending on the circumstances, use third-party service providers in serving your account. We may share confidential information about you with these service providers but remain committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information. Accordingly, we maintain internal policies, procedures, and safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your personal information. In addition, we will secure confidentiality agreements with all service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your information and we will take reasonable precautions to determine that they have appropriate procedures in place to prevent the unauthorized release of your confidential information to others. In the event that we are unable to secure an appropriate confidentiality agreement, you will be asked to provide your consent prior to the sharing of your confidential information with the third-party service provider. Furthermore, we will remain responsible for the work provided by any such third-party service providers.
Our audit of financial statements does not relieve you of your responsibilities.
We will also provide a report on agreed upon procedures performed on the City’s calculation of its annual appropriations limit as required by Article XIII B of the California State Constitution. We will perform the procedures in the Article XIII B Appropriations Limit Uniform Guidelines as published by the League of California Cities. This report will include a statement that the report is intended solely for the information and use of management, City Council and specific legislative or regulatory bodies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
Audit Procedures—Internal Control
We will obtain an understanding of the government and its environment, including internal control relevant to the audit, sufficient to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal control and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards.
As required by the Uniform Guidance, we will perform tests of controls over compliance to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements applicable to each major federal award program. However, our tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on those controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance.
An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance.
Audit Procedures—Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the City’s compliance with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements, including grant agreements. However, the objective of those procedures will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion in our report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards.
The Uniform Guidance requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the auditee has complied with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards applicable to major programs. Our procedures will consist of tests of transactions and other applicable procedures described in the OMB Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major programs. The purpose of these procedures will be to express an opinion on the City’s compliance with requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance.
Other Services
3
We will also assist in preparing the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes of the City in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Uniform Guidance based on information provided by you. These nonaudit services do not constitute an audit under Government Auditing Standards and such services will not be conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. We will perform the services in accordance with applicable professional standards. The other services are limited to the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes services previously defined.
We, in our sole professional judgment, reserve the right to refuse to perform any procedure or take any action that could be construed as assuming management responsibilities.
You agree to assume all management responsibilities for the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes, and any other nonaudit services we provide. You will be required to acknowledge in the management representation letter our assistance with preparation of the financial statements, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes and that you have reviewed and approved the financial statements, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and related notes prior to their issuance and have accepted responsibility for them. Further, you agree to oversee the nonaudit services by designating an individual, preferably from senior management, with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience; evaluate the adequacy and results of those services; and accept responsibility for them.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements and Single Audit Our audit will be conducted on the basis that you acknowledge and understand your responsibility for (1) designing, implementing, establishing, and maintaining effective internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, including internal controls over federal awards, and for evaluating and monitoring ongoing activities to help ensure that appropriate goals and objectives are met; (2) following laws and regulations; (3) ensuring that there is reasonable assurance that government programs are administered in compliance with compliance requirements; and (4) ensuring that management and financial information is reliable and properly reported. Management is also responsible for implementing systems designed to achieve compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. You are also responsible for the selection and application of accounting principles; for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and all accompanying information in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including federal statutes), rules, and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements (including award agreements). Your responsibilities also include identifying significant contractor relationships in which the contractor has responsibility for program compliance and for the accuracy and completeness of that information.
You are also responsible for making drafts of financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, all financial records, and related information available to us and for the accuracy and completeness of that information (including information from outside of the general and subsidiary ledgers). You are also responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, such as records, documentation, identification of all related parties and all related-party relationships and transactions, and other matters; (2) access to personnel, accounts, books, records, supporting documentation, and other information as needed to perform an audit under the Uniform Guidance; (3) additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit; and (4) unrestricted access to persons within the government from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. At the conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial statements; schedule of expenditures of federal awards; federal award programs; compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements; and related matters.
Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and confirming to us in the management representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements of each opinion unit taken as a whole.
You are responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the government involving (1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Your responsibilities include informing us of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the government received in communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, you are responsible for identifying and ensuring that the government complies with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, and grants. You are also responsible for taking timely and appropriate steps to remedy fraud and noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, 4
and grant agreements that we report. Additionally, as required by the Uniform Guidance, it is management’s responsibility to evaluate and monitor noncompliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards; take prompt action when instances of noncompliance are identified including noncompliance identified in audit findings; promptly follow up and take corrective action on reported audit findings; and prepare a summary schedule of prior audit findings and a separate corrective action plan.
You are responsible for identifying all federal awards received and understanding and complying with the compliance requirements and for the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (including notes and noncash assistance received, and COVID-19-related concepts, such as lost revenues, if applicable) in conformity with the Uniform Guidance. You agree to include our report on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in any document that contains, and indicates that we have reported on, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. You also agree to [include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards that includes our report thereon OR make the audited financial statements readily available to intended users of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards no later than the date the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is issued with our report thereon]. Your responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter that (1) you are responsible for presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in accordance with the Uniform Guidance; (2) you believe the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, including its form and content, is stated fairly in accordance with the Uniform Guidance; (3) the methods of measurement or presentation have not changed from those used in the prior period (or, if they have changed, the reasons for such changes); and (4) you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards.
You are also responsible for the preparation of the other supplementary information, which we have been engaged to report on, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). You agree to include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains, and indicates that we have reported on, the supplementary information. You also agree to [include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our report thereon OR make the audited financial statements readily available to users of the supplementary information no later than the date the supplementary information is issued with our report thereon]. Your responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter that (1) you are responsible for presentation of the supplementary information in accordance with GAAP; (2) you believe the supplementary information, including its form and content, is fairly presented in accordance with GAAP; (3) the methods of measurement or presentation have not changed from those used in the prior period (or, if they have changed, the reasons for such changes); and (4) you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the supplementary information.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a process for tracking the status of audit findings and recommendations. Management is also responsible for identifying and providing report copies of previous financial audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or other studies related to the objectives discussed in the Audit Scope and Objectives section of this letter. This responsibility includes relaying to us corrective actions taken to address significant findings and recommendations resulting from those audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or studies. You are also responsible for providing management’s views on our current findings, conclusions, and recommendations, as well as your planned corrective actions for the report, and for the timing and format for providing that information.
Engagement Administration, Fees, and Other
We understand that your employees will prepare all cash, accounts receivable, or other confirmations and schedules we request and will locate any documents selected by us for testing.
At the conclusion of the engagement, we will complete the appropriate sections of the Data Collection Form that summarizes our audit findings. It is management’s responsibility to electronically submit the reporting package (including financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards, summary schedule of prior audit findings, auditors’ reports, and corrective action plan) along with the Data Collection Form to the federal audit clearinghouse. We will coordinate with you the electronic submission and certification. The Data Collection Form and the reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditors’ reports or nine months after the end of the audit period.
We will provide copies of our reports to the City; however, management is responsible for distribution of the reports and the financial statements. Unless restricted by law or regulation, or containing privileged and confidential information, copies of our reports are to be made available for public inspection.
The audit documentation for this engagement is the property of VLF, LLP and constitutes confidential information.
However, subject to applicable laws and regulations, audit documentation and appropriate individuals will be made 5
available upon request and in a timely manner to the Oversight Agency or its designee, a federal agency providing direct or indirect funding, or the U.S. Government Accountability Office for purposes of a quality review of the audit, to resolve audit findings, or to carry out oversight responsibilities. We will notify you of any such request. If requested, access to such audit documentation will be provided under the supervision of VLF, LLP personnel. Furthermore, upon request, we may provide copies of selected audit documentation to the aforementioned parties. These parties may intend, or decide, to distribute the copies or information contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies.
The audit documentation for this engagement will be retained for a minimum of seven years after the report release date or for any additional period requested by the Oversight Agency for Audit, or Pass-through Entity. If we are aware that a federal awarding agency, pass-through entity, or auditee is contesting an audit finding, we will contact the party(ies) contesting the audit finding for guidance prior to destroying the audit documentation.
We will begin our audit in June of 2024 and plan to issue our reports in December of 2024. Brett Van Lant, CPA is the engagement partner and is responsible for supervising the engagement and signing the reports or authorizing another individual to sign them.
Our fee for these services, as well as proposed fees for the two following fiscal years, are detailed below for your consideration:
Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each month as work progresses and are payable on presentation. In accordance with our firm policies, work may be suspended if your account becomes 60 days or more overdue and may not be resumed until your account is paid in full. If we elect to terminate our services for nonpayment, our engagement will be deemed to have been completed upon written notification of termination, even if we have not completed our report(s). You will be obligated to compensate us for all time expended and to reimburse us for all out-of-pocket costs through the date of termination. The above fee is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee estimate before we incur the additional costs. In addition, the above fees are based on the assumption that the Single Audit will include no more than two major programs, in accordance with the Uniform Guidance.
Reporting
We will issue written reports upon completion of our Single Audit. Our reports will be addressed to the City Council of the City of Ukiah. Circumstances may arise in which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit. Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinions, add a separate section, or add an emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph to our auditor’s report, or if necessary, withdraw from this engagement. If our opinions are other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed opinions, we may decline to express opinions or issue reports, or we may withdraw from this engagement.
The Government Auditing Standards report on internal control over financial reporting and on compliance and other matters will state that (1) the purpose of the report is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance, and (2) the report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance.

2. Proposed 2022 Fire Code Ordinance - Clean
Summary: The Council will consider adopting an Ordinance to adopt the amended 2022 California Fire Code, including the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1 Chapter 38, due to local conditions.
Background: California utilizes the International Fire Code (IFC) as published by the International Code Council (ICC) and amends the Code to specifically meet the hazards encountered statewide. The state also allows local jurisdictions to amend the Code based upon local conditions and needs, and then adopt the amended version of the Code via ordinance. The IFC and California Fire Code are updated every three (3) years and were last updated and adopted in 2019. On November 2, 2022, Staff brought an update to Council, and Council at that time appointed an ad hoc committee comprised of two Councilmembers (Crane/Orozco) and two Ukiah Valley Fire District (UVFD) Board Members (Jennings/Bushby) to discuss and review the Ordinance to ensure that the version of the Ordinance considered by the City and the UVFD were in alignment. Work with the Ad Hoc culminated in a draft ordinance that would amend the 2022 California Fire Code, including the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1 Chapter 28, to address local conditions.
At its meeting on February 21, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-06 (Attachment 1), setting forth findings of fact regarding the need for modifications to the 2022 California Fire Code due to local conditions. Council also unanimously introduced an Ordinance by title only that would amend Division 6, Chapter 3, Articles 1 and 3, of the Ukiah City Code, entitled: 'Fire Prevention Code,' to adopt the 2022 California Fire Code, including additions or amendments, as well as NFPA 1 Chapter 38, to address local conditions.
Discussion: Staff recommends Council adopt the Ordinance (Attachment 2) amending Division 6, Chapter 3, Articles 1 and 3, of the Ukiah City Code, entitled: 'Fire Prevention Code,' to adopt the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code, including additions or amendments, as well as NFPA 1 Chapter 38 thereto to address local conditions.
Recommended Action: Adopt Ordinance amending Division 6, Chapter 3, Articles 1 and 3, of the Ukiah City Code, entitled: 'Fire Prevention Code,' to adopt the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code, including additions or amendments, as well as NFPA 1 Chapter 38, to address local conditions.

RESOLUTION 2024- 06
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF UKIAH CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISHING FINDINGS OF FACT AND
NEED FOR CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE STATE BUILDING STANDARDS CODE
BECAUSE OF LOCAL CONDITIONS
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS: Pursuant to Section 13869. 7, 17958. 5, 17958. 7, 17922, and 18941. 5 of the State of California Health and Safety Code, the City of Ukiah City Council in its ordinance adopting and amending the 2022 Edition of the California Fire Code with reference to the 2021 Edition of the International Fire Code, changes or modifies certain provisions of the 2022 California Building Standards Code ( Title 24, Part 9) as it pertains to the regulation of buildings used for human habitation. A copy of the text of such changes or modifications is attached.
Findings: Pursuant to Sections 17958. 5, 17958. 7, 17922, and 18941. 5 of the State of California Health and Safety Code, the City of Ukiah City Council has determined and finds that the attached changes or modifications to the 2022 California Building Standards Code are needed and are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geographic, and topographic conditions.
Local Conditions: Local conditions have an adverse effect on the prevention of ( 1) major loss fires, ( 2) major earthquake damage, and ( 3) the potential for life and property loss, making necessary changes or modifications to the 2022 California Fire Code, 2021 International Fire Code and the 2022 California Building Standards Code in order to provide a reasonable degree of property security and fire and life safety in this Fire District.
Below are listed adverse local climatic ( see No. 1), geographic, and topographic ( see No. 2) conditions.
1. Climatic
a. Precipitation. Precipitation ranges from 13 to 71 inches per year with an average of approximately 37 inches per year. Approximately eighty- nine percent ( 89%) falls during the months of November through April, and eleven ( 11%) from May through October. b. Relative Humidity. Humidity generally ranges from 35% during daytime to 85% at night. The humidity can drop to 12% or lower during the summer months. c. Temperatures. Temperatures have been recorded as high as 115 degrees F. Average summer highs are in the 86 to 91 degree range.
d. Winds. Prevailing winds are from the northwest. However, winds are experienced from virtually every direction at one time or another. Velocities are generally in the 3 — 18 mph range, gusting to 33 mph, particularly during the summer months. Extreme winds, up to 50 mph, have been known to occur.
e. Summary. These local climatic conditions affect the acceleration, intensity, and size of fire in the community. Times of little or no rainfall, of low humidity and high temperatures create extremely hazardous conditions, particularly as they relate to the ignition of structure fires which have the potential to burn into the vegetation ( wildland), and vice versa. The winds experienced in this area can have a tremendous impact upon structure fires in buildings of L
close proximity to one another, commonly found in the residential neighborhoods throughout the Ukiah Valley. During structure, or wildland fires, winds can carry sparks and burning brands to other structures, thus spreading the fire and causing conflagrations. In building fires,
Attachment 1
winds can literally force fire back into the building and create a blowtorch effect, in addition to preventing " natural" ventilation and cross-ventilation efforts.
2. Geographic and Topographic
a. The fire environment of a community is primarily a combination of two factors: the area' s physical geographic characteristics and the historic pattern of urban- suburban development.
These two factors, alone and combined, create a mixture of environments, which ultimately determines the area' s fire protection needs.
The basic geographical boundaries of the District include Nelson Ranch Road to the south, Cleland Mountain to the west, Gold Gulch to the north and Cow Mountain to the east.
Because of the size of the Ukiah Valley Fire District ( 98 square miles), the characteristics of the fire environment changes from one location to the next. Therefore, the District has not one, but a number of fire environments, each of which has its individual fire protection needs.
The service area of the Ukiah Valley Fire District has a varied topography and vegetative cover. A conglomeration of valley floor, mountainous slopes, and ridges make up the terrain.
Development has occurred on the flat lands in the central portion of the District. However, over the last thirty years, development has spread onto the surrounding mountainous slopes. b. Seismic Location. The relatively young geological processes that have created the San Francisco Bay Area are still active today. The District sits on the Maacama fault between the San Andreas fault to the west and the Bartlett Springs fault to the east. c. Size and Poaulation. The Ukiah Valley Fire District covers 98 square miles including a population estimated at 35,000. Ukiah Valley Fire has the largest number of dispatches of any fire district in Mendocino County. Within the Fire Protection District are four ( 4) fire stations and a total of 34 Fire District personnel. The Fire Protection District handles diverse responsibilities including wildland, urban, freeway, and medical. d. Roads and Streets. The 2005 Regional Transportation Plan states that the mountainous nature of Mendocino County tends to minimize ground transportation options throughout the region. As a result, lengthy cul-de-sacs, dead- end roads, and looped road systems generally service many of the existing and new developments. Some planned unit developments are served by private roads, which create access problems ( i. e., narrow paved widths and onstreet parking).
The roadway systems on the flat lands within the Ukiah Valley Fire District are for the most part a grid or loop system. Many of the roads servicing residential areas on the east and west foothills of the District are narrow and winding affording difficult ingress to emergency apparatus. Ingress and egress into the foothill areas will be made extremely difficult by largescale emergencies such as earthquake and wildland fire. e. To o ra h . The District' s service area is a conglomeration of valley floor, mountainous slopes, and ridges. The flatter lands are found in the central portion of the District. Most of the existing urban and suburbanized areas are on relatively flat lands (0— 5% slope).
Correspondingly, there is much diversity in slope percentages to the east and west of the valley floor. Slopes on the northeast side of the valley floor average 26% and range from 8- 80%.
Slopes on the southeast side of the valley floor average 35% and range from 9-80%. Slopes
on the northwest side of the valley floor average 32% and range from 13- 80%. Slopes on the southwest side of the valley floor average 48% and range from 6- 80%. Slope is an important factor in fire spread. As a basic rule of thumb, the rate of spread will double as the slope percentage doubles, all other factors remaining the same.
Elevations are varied in the District with the most southwest turn on Ruddick Cunningham Road listed as 566 feet above sea level. The average elevation of the valley floor within the District is 585 feet above sea level. The highest elevation is located above Willow Creek on the east side of the District at 2600 feet above sea level. f. Vegetation. The Ukiah Valley' s semi- arid Mediterranean- type climate produces vegetation similar to that of most of Mendocino County, with specific growth locale a result of topography and prevailing wind. The south facing exposures are primarily annual grass with occasional clumps of Oak trees. The east, north, west facing slopes are heavily wooded from lower elevations to ridge with Oak, Madrone, Douglas- fir, Redwood, and minor shrubs of the general Chaparral class.
Expansion of the residential community into areas of heavier vegetation has resulted in homes existing in close proximity to dense natural foliage. Often such dwellings are completely surrounded by highly combustible vegetation compounding the fire problem from a conflagration point of view.
g. Hydrology. The Ukiah Valley Fire District contains Lake Mendocino, the Russian River, Mill Creek, Robinson Creek and multiple ephemeral streams. Annual precipitation at or above the annual average of 37 inches can result in flooding along the Russian River and its tributaries.
These flooding events lead to increased emergency response times for apparatus responding through or around the flooded roadways.
h. Summa! y. The above local geographic and topographic conditions increase the magnitude, exposure, accessibility problems, and fire hazards presented to the Ukiah Valley Fire District.
Fire following an earthquake has the potential of causing greater loss of life and damage than the earthquake itself.
The majority of the Ukiah Valley' s industrial/ commercial complexes are located in close proximity to the Maacama fault. This fault zone also contains the largest concentration of hazardous materials. Hazardous materials, particularly toxic gases, could pose the greatest threat to the largest number, should a significant seismic event occur. The District' s resources would have to be prioritized to mitigate the greatest threat, and may likely be unavailable for smaller single- dwelling or structure fires.
Other variables may tend to intensify the situation:
1) The extent of damage to the water system;
2) The extent of isolation due to bridge and/ or freeway overpass collapse; 3) The extent of roadway damage and/ or amount of debris blocking the roadways; 4) Climatic conditions ( hot, dry weather with high winds); 5) Time of day will influence the amount of traffic on roadways and could intensify the risk to life during normal business hours;
6) The availability of timely mutual aid or military assistance;
Conclusion: Local climatic, geographic, and topographic conditions impact fire prevention efforts, and the frequency, spread, acceleration, intensity and size of fire involving buildings in this community.
Further, they affect potential damage to all structures from earthquake, or flood, and subsequent fire.
Therefore it is found to be reasonably necessary that the California Fire Code and the State Building Standards Code be changed or modified to mitigate the effects of the above conditions.
Furthermore, California Health and Safety Code Section 17958. 7 requires that the modification or change be expressly marked and identified as to which each finding refers. Therefore, the City of Ukiah City Council finds that the following table provides code sections that have been modified pursuant to Ordinance 2023- 1 which are building standards as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 18909, and the associated referenced conditions for modification due to local climatic, geological and topographical reasons.

The remedies provided by this code are cumulative and in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.
1. Causing, permitting, aiding, abetting, or concealing a violation of any provision of this ordinance shall constitute a violation.
2. Violations of this code are hereby declared to be public nuisances.
3. A violation of this code constitutes a misdemeanor/infraction punishable by a fine of $1,000 or by imprisonment in the County jail for six months, or both.
4. In addition to other remedies provided by this ordinance or by other law, any violation of this ordinance may be remedied by a civil action brought by the District, including, for example, administrative or judicial nuisance abatement proceedings, other legally authorized enforcement proceedings, and suits for injunctive relief.
Section 11.4, Violation Penalties, of Chapter 1 is amended to read as follows:
Section 11.4 Violation Penalties. Persons who shall violate a provision of this code or shall fail to comply with any of the requirements thereof or who shall erect, install, alter, repair or do work in violation of the approved construction documents or directive of the fire code official, or of a permit or certificate used under provisions of this code, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor/infraction. The first citation within a 12-month period, for violations of the Fire Code and any amendments adopted herein shall be treated as a Civil Penalty payable directly to the Ukiah Valley Fire District and is set at $250.00 plus the actual costs of all inspections required to gain compliance at the current rate set from time to time by the Ukiah Valley Fire District, per hour with a 1 hour minimum. Said civil penalties shall be a debt owed to the District by the person responsible for the violation within thirty (30) days after the date of mailing the citation, unless an appeal is filed as provided in this section.
Upon failure to pay the civil penalty when due, the responsible person shall be liable for civil action brought by the Ukiah Valley Fire District for such penalty and costs of the litigation, including reasonable attorney’s fees.
Any subsequent citations within a twenty-four (24) month period for any violations of the Fire Code and any amendments adopted herein shall be misdemeanors/infractions, and shall be subject to the penalties set forth herein, or a civil penalty shall be assessed in the sum of $500.00 plus the actual costs of all inspections required to gain compliance at the current rate set from time to time by the Ukiah Valley Fire District. The imposition of a penalty for any violation shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue and all such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such violations or defects within a reasonable time. When not otherwise specified, each day that a violation occurs or continues, after a final notice has been delivered shall constitute a separate offense. The application of both penalties shall be held to prevent the enforced correction of the prohibited condition. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed or interpreted to prevent the Ukiah Valley Fire District
from recovering all costs associated with a Fire District response as described in the Ukiah Valley Fire District’s current cost recovery ordinance, Ordinance 2004-1, or subsequent cost recovery ordinances.
Any violation of any provision of this Chapter shall constitute a public nuisance and shall entitle the Ukiah Valley Fire District to collect the costs of abatement and related administrative costs by a nuisance abatement lien as more particularly set forth in Government Code Section 38773.1, and by special assessment to be collected by the County Tax Collector as more particularly set forth in Government Code Section 38773.5.
At least thirty (30) days prior to recordation of the lien, or submission of the report to the Tax Collector for collection of this special assessment, the record owner shall receive notice from the Chief of the Ukiah Valley Fire District of the intent to charge the property owner for all administrative costs associated with enforcement of this Ordinance and abatement of the nuisance. The notice shall include a summary of costs associated with enforcement of this Ordinance and abatement of the nuisance. The property owner may appeal the Chief’s decision to the Board of Directors of the Ukiah Valley Fire District within fifteen (15) days of the date of the notice and request a public hearing prior to recordation of the lien or submission of the report to the County Tax Collector for collection of the special assessment. In addition to the foregoing, the Ukiah Valley Fire District is authorized to prosecute a civil action to collect such abatement costs from the property owner or other person in possession or control of the affected property and shall be entitled to recover such abatement costs, together with the cost of litigation, including reasonable attorney’s fees.
Any person receiving a citation for a civil penalty pursuant to Section 112.3, Violation Penalties, of Chapter 1, may file an appeal per Section 111.5 through 111.7 of this code against the imposition of the civil penalty or response costs and expense.
Section 112.4, Failure to Comply, of Chapter 1 is amended to read as follows:
Section 112.4 Failure to Comply. Any person who shall continue any work after having been served with a stop work order, except such work as that person is directed to perform to remove a violation or unsafe conditions, shall be liable to a fine payable directly to the Ukiah Valley Fire District in the amount set at not less than $250.00 or more than $1000.00 plus the actual costs of all inspections required to gain compliance at the rate set from time to time by the Ukiah Valley Fire District. This civil penalty shall be a debt owed to the District by the person responsible for the violation within thirty (30) days after the date of mailing of the citation unless an appeal is filed as provided for in Section 108.4.
Section 315.8 Lithium battery storage and handling, of Chapter 3, is hereby added to read as follows:
315.8 Lithium battery storage and handling. The storage and handling of lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries or cells in quantities exceeding 1,000 pounds (4086 kg) shall comply with Sections 315.8.1 through 315.8.10, and Chapter 32 where applicable. 315.8.1 Permits. Permits shall be required as set forth in Section 105.6.27. 315.8.2 Maximum quantity in a fire area.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Notification to City Council of Purchase of Services from SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc. in the Amount not to Exceed $53,650 for the Dewatering Project Material Inspection.
DEPARTMENT: Public Works PREPARED BY: Seth Strader, Administrative Analyst PRESENTER: Sean White, Water Resources Director
ATTACHMENTS:
1. SHN - Dewatering Proj Material Inspection - 2324-149 Fully Executed Summary: Council will receive a report of Purchase of Services from SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc. in the Amount not to Exceed $53,650 for the Dewatering Project Material Inspection.
Background: The Dewatering Project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant is a series of systemic improvements that are currently under construction. In early 2022, the City purchased two pieces of equipment as part of these improvements. The equipment includes a suspended air flotation (SAF) device that separates bio-solids from wastewater and a screw press which presses water out of the bio-solids. These two new machines are replacing outdated and failing equipment and will eventually allow the plant to produce a different class bio-solid that can be turned into fertilizer or other uses.
Discussion: The project will require the installation of new concrete slabs, anchor bolts, minor sidewalk work and repair which will require in-place density testing of aggregate base, material thickness testing, documentation and misc. sampling services. SHN will be performing these engineering services. SHN is a skilled engineering firm that has worked on many City projects, including the road and utility work on Dora, Clara, and Redwood Business Park.
The fully executed contract can be found in Attachment 1.
Recommended Action: Receive a report of Purchase of Services from SHN Consulting Engineers & Geologists, Inc. in the Amount not to Exceed $53,650 for the Dewatering Project Material Inspection.

Subject: Cost Estimate and Fee Schedule for Materials Testing and Special Inspection Services during Completion of the City of Ukiah Wastewater Treatment Plant, 300 Plant Road, Ukiah, California Dear Jason Benson:
SHN is pleased to provide the following fee schedule and cost estimate for materials testing and special inspection services during the thickening and dewatering improvements at the City of Ukiah Wastewater Treatment Plan located at 300 Plant Road in Ukiah, California. This estimate was based on the plan set provided by West Yost (dated July 2023 with job number 592-50-22-14) and project specifications.
We have reviewed the construction plan set and specifications provided by West Yost, and our understanding is that the anticipated scope of work necessary to complete this project includes installation of new concrete slabs (subgrade, rebar, and concrete included), anchor bolts, and minor sidewalk work. Costs for sampling and testing structural concrete, in-place density testing of aggregate base for new walkways and sitework improvements, and material thickness testing of the currently installed structural steel members is included. During the installation of these new construction materials, we have anticipated the following items that will require special inspection, testing, and documentation: structural concrete for new slabs, and equipment pads, welding and post-installed anchors for equipment and pipe support fastening.
Because the nature of construction scheduling is subject to change based on field conditions, we propose that SHN provides these services on an on-call basis, under the direction of your project manager. This means that, if we provided an estimated number of hours for an inspection task, and that task is completed in fewer hours than what was estimated, we will only charge for the time associated with the work you have requested. We have based the following cost and schedule on our understanding that the materials testing work will be subject to California Department of Industrial Relations Prevailing Wage Rates.
The following rates will be associated with this project. • Project Manager: $165/hour
• Laboratory Engineering Manager: $125/hour
• Prevailing Wage Field Technician: $195/hour-$205/hour • Non-Prevailing Wage Technician: $105-$135/hour

Samples will be collected during placement for structural features. Concrete samples will be stored onsite for the initial curing time, then delivered to the laboratory the following day for final curing and testing. If requested, SHN can also review and provide comments for concrete mix design submittals.
We have estimated up to 1 0 concrete sampling events for the project. Each sampling event will take up to 4 hours onsite and require one set of samples for compression testing.

What is happening to the Palestinians is unimaginable in the 21st century, how can we just stand by and let starvation of innocent civilians happen,- have we lost our humanity?! America used to be known for helping the underdog. History will not speak kindly of us for allowing such atrocities as they occur in the Gaza-strip, an open-air prison with the prisoners being bombed and starved.

Hello,
City of Ukiah City Council,
My name is Stephanie Abba. I am a resident of Hopland and an employee of the City of Ukiah. I strongly believe that the Ukiah City Council should put the Ceasefire Resolution on its agenda and pass it.
What is happening in Gaza breaks my heart, and I believe it is criminal. I have always been a supporter of aid and protection for Israel. Now, I am ashamed of what they are doing. I am angry that my tax dollars are helping to fund such actions.
We need to send a message to our Government, that we stand together against the war in Gaza and Genocide. Stop the bombing and send humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.
Please, put this resolution on the agenda.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Abba

Dear Council,
At the request and submission of Councilmember Sher, attached is a draft resolution that she proposes for consideration on the March 20th City Council agenda.
Historically, the City has only considered letters of support, proclamations, and resolutions directly related to topics of local significance and within the City's subject matter jurisdiction. Previous advocacy platforms have indicated that the City does not take positions on matters beyond the scope and purpose of municipal government. However, such items can be introduced by a majority direction from the Council.
Given the City’s current practice and policy direction, the Council will need to formally direct the requested item to be placed on the March 20th agenda through a motion, second, and majority vote.

1 CITY OF UKIAH RESOLUTION 2024-
PROCLAMATION AFFIRMING THE CITY OF UKIAH’S SUPPORT FOR AN ISRAELIPALESTINIAN CEASEFIRE AND PERMANENT RESOLUTION TO THE CONFLICT WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah strives to create a local culture where every individual and group is welcomed, respected, and provided the opportunity to participate fully in our institutions; that ethos must extend to oppose all forms of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism, bigotry and genocide and advocate for the dignity, freedom, equality and safety of residents in every community; and
WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah recognizes the targeting of civilians is a violation of international humanitarian law; that Palestinian lives and Israeli lives have the same value; and all people’s access to adequate food, water, shelter, medical aid, and safety must be protected; and WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah mourns the deaths of Israeli Jews and hostages taken in Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023 and also recognizes that Israel’s military response has been grossly disproportionate, immoral and in violation of international law; we mourn the tragic loss of all civilian lives on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and WHEREAS, many Ukiah residents have deep connections to Israel, Gaza and the region, including family, friends and loved ones; and
WHEREAS, we unequivocally condemn Israel’s ongoing collective punishment of Palestinian residents that has resulted in the deaths of over 30,000 people since October 7, 2023 —approximately 73% of them women and children; 1 and
WHEREAS, hundreds of thousands of more lives in Gaza as well as the more than 137 remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza are at imminent risk of death, famine and lifethreatening diseases in Gaza without an immediate and permanent ceasefire and unimpeded large scale humanitarian relief; and
WHEREAS, in 2023, U.S. taxpayers provided $3.8 billion to Israel in military aid and in 2024, so far, through the National Security package has pledged an additional $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel despite the fact that sixty-one percent of American voters support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, according to a December 5th 2023 Data For Progress Poll and wish to see the U.S. leverage its diplomatic relationships to prevent further violence and civilian deaths; and
1 As of February 26, 2024
2 WHEREAS, the enormous and unconditional military aid provided to Israel by the United States every year ultimately deprives people in the US of money for urgent local needs, with Ukiah residents’ federal taxes contributing $211,834 to Israel's weapons each year from 2019 to 2028, which could instead annually fund 25 households with public housing; solar electricity for 603 households; 73 children receiving free or low-cost healthcare; 2 elementary school teachers; or cancel loan debt for 5 students; and
WHEREAS, international organizations such as Amnesty International, the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the International Resue Committee and many others have made a call for a ceasefire in order to prevent the further loss of life of civilians and to be in accordance with international humanitarian law; and be it
RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Ukiah, recognizing that our residents are also citizens of the world, joins with the governing bodies of many dozens of jurisdictions all over California and the United States in calling on our Congressional members to demand an immediate permanent ceasefire; the release of all hostages and political prisoners; the unrestricted entry of humanitarian assistance into Gaza; and the restoration of food, water, electricity and medical supplies to Gaza; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Ukiah condemns the Netanyahu government’s attacks resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians of Gaza and displacement of millions; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Ukiah condemns Hamas’s attack on Israeli civilians, resulting in deaths of approximately 1,200 Israeli people on October 7, 2023; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that a permanent solution to this crisis must be one of the top foreign policy priorities of the United States to reduce human suffering and promote peace in the region; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors; U.S. Senator Laphonza Butler; U.S. Senator Alex Padilla; U.S Representative Jared Huffman; State Senator Mike McGuire; U.S. President Joe Biden; and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, urging them to take immediate action to use their positions and influence to end this conflict and work towards a permanent peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

Subject: Public comment on non-agenda item
To city council and my fellow Ukiah residents:
What is happening in Palestine right now is unfathomable. A genocide is being funded by our tax dollars, and for that reason we must demand a permanent, immediate ceasefire. City Council passing a resolution calling for a ceasefire may seem like a small act, but it is an important and urgent one. It says that we cannot in good conscience stay silent on an atrocity that we are funding, even if it's half a world away.
Our neighbors in Fort Bragg have already unanimously passed a ceasefire resolution, as have many other towns and cities in California and across the US; major unions like UAW (of which I am a member) and SEIU (which represents hundreds of Mendocino County workers) have also called for an immediate ceasefire. I urge the City Council to be on the right side of history by passing a resolution calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
Thank you,
Megan Riley

MEETING DATE/TIME: 3/6/2024
ITEM NO: 2024-1558
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Resolve Bid Protests Received for Specification No. 24-01 for the City of Ukiah Electric Service Center Tenant Improvements and Fire Damage Repair, and Approve Final Award Recommendation.
DEPARTMENT: Electric Utility PREPARED BY: Cindy Sauers, Electric Utility Director, Mary Horger, Financial Services Manager
PRESENTER: Cindy Sauers, Electric Utility Director

1. Spec 24-01 - Hastings Tenant Improvements & Fire Damage Repair
2. Bid Results - Spec 24-01
3. Bid Protest - Ukiah Elec Service Center TI (1)
4. Bid Protest Response
Summary: Council will consider a bid protest from the second lowest bidder, Kirby Construction Company, to the apparent lowest bid from DMR Construction, and make a final determination based on the bid protest and Staff's recommendation to award a contract to, Kirby Construction Company, in the amount of $2,446,340 for the Hastings Tenant Improvements and Fire Damage Repair, Specification 24-01.
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 operation. 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.
In early 2023, site improvements, including grading, roofing, fencing and service equipment were completed. Following the completion of the site improvements, a fire broke out at the facility on March 8, 2023, due to a failed exhaust fan. Remediation of the site and revisions of the drawings to include fire damage repair started immediately. The City has received a payment from the insurance company in the amount of $471,488.51 and anticipates an additional $50,000 for electronics and building contents. Additionally, the insurance company paid $185,138.94 to West Coast Fire and Water for all remediation activities.
On December 6, 2023, Council approved the plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements and Fire Damage Repair Project (Attachment 1). The project consists of renovation of the interior of the building to convert the existing suites to office space, a conference room, and warehousing. A third phase of the project includes solar generation on the roof and raised structures to increase Ukiah's eligible renewable energy production. Phase 3 is scheduled for Fiscal Year 25.
Discussion: On January 18, 2024, a request for bids notice for the project was released to contractors from the City's Qualified Bidders list and Northern California Builders Exchanges and posted to the City's website. Bids were opened on February 27, 2024, with six (6) bidders responding. A copy of the bid tabulation is provided as Attachment 2.
On February 28, 2024, Kirby Construction Company, Inc., the second lowest bidder, submitted a bid protest
against the bid presented by the apparent low bidder, DMR Builders. (Attachment 3.) Kirby Construction's protest claims that DMR's bid violates California Public Contract Code ("PRC") Section 4104, which requires bids for public works projects to list all subcontractors who the bidder intends to use for work in excess of onehalf of 1 percent of the prime contractor’s total bid. Section 4101 is part of the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Ac. [PRC Sections 4100 - 4114.) The bidder must include in its bid the name, the location of the place of business, the California contractor license number, and public works contractor registration number for each listed subcontractor. Kirby's bid protest alleges that DMR Builders' failed to name a subcontractor for the materials and installation of aluminum storefronts and windows, as required by the project's technical specifications sections 08-41-13 and 08-51-13. Both the protest and DMR Builder's response are timely under the City's bid protest procedure.
On February 29, 2024, DMR Builders responded to the protest, (please refer to Attachment 4). DMR admitted it failed to list the subcontractor it intends to use for the aluminum storefronts and windows but asks to add that subcontractor based on the omission resulting from an inadvertent error. In support it submits the bid from the subcontractor which establishes that its portion of the work will exceed one-half of one percent of the contractor's total bid. Its response also argues that Kirby's bid is non-responsive, because it failed to acknowledge receipt of addenda issued by the City after the notice inviting bids was issued and prior to the bid opening.
As to the request to add the omitted subcontractor, the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act does not allow the addition of an unnamed subcontractor after the bid opening. Only the inadvertent omission of certain information about a listed subcontractor can be submitted after bid opening. (PRC Section 4104(a)(2)) Under PRC Section 4106: "If a prime contractor fails to specify a subcontractor, the prime contractor agrees that he or she is fully qualified to perform that portion himself or herself." This provision does not excuse DMR Building's failure to list a subcontractor its response makes clear it intended to use. Moreover, PRC Section 4109 addresses situations where subcontracting is allowed after contract award, but only under conditions of public emergency or necessity. As a result, Staff recommends that the Council uphold Kirby's protest and reject DRM's bid as non-responsive.
Regarding the lack of acknowledgment of addenda, as contested in the counter-protest by DMR Builders, Section 1-11 of the specification's general provisions clarifies that such acknowledgments, while part of the bid submittal checklist, do not constitute a mandatory requirement for bid validity. Additionally, these acknowledgments were submitted by Kirby and the other bidders with their bids, but were omitted in the scanned versions sent to the bidders.
Given the review of the bid protest and the applicable provisions of the California Public Contract Code, Staff recommends rejecting the bid received from DMR Builders and awarding the bid to Kirby Construction Company, Inc., for $2,446,340.
Note that the bid amount is below the engineer's estimate of $2,600,000. Funds are budgeted and available in 80126100.80230.17023.
Recommended Action: Consider the bid protest received from Kirby Construction, reject the counterprotest from DMR Builders, and award the bid to Kirby Construction Company in the amount of $2,446,340 for Specification No. 24-01 Hastings Tenant Improvements and Fire Damage Repair.

Bidders shall thoroughly examine and be familiar with the Plans and Special Provisions.

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.
