1. Ordinance

2. Planning Commission 2025-01 Resolution
Summary: Council will consider adoption of an Ordinance amending Ukiah City Code to update the sign regulations by modifying standards for signage type, placement, illumination, and design consistency across zoning districts.

Background: The City of Ukiah’s sign regulations are codified in Division 9, Chapter 7 of the Ukiah City Code and govern the size, placement, and design of signage across most zoning districts, with the exception of the Airport Industrial Park – Planned Development/Airport Park Boulevard area. Although the City has made incremental updates over time, the current regulatory framework remains largely based on Ordinance No. 685, originally adopted in 1976 and subsequently amended by Ordinances 756 (1981), 822 (1983), 1106 (2008), and 1148 (2014).

While the 2008 and 2014 updates to the City’s sign ordinance amended general provisions, the current regulations still do not fully reflect the goals of the 2040 Ukiah General Plan. Specifically, Land Use Element Policy LU-11.7 (Sign Regulations) calls for streamlining and clarifying the sign review and approval process.

This policy, originally derived from a similar goal in the 1995 General Plan (Existing Program CD-13.1c, modified), remains unfulfilled, as past efforts focused more on design guidance for new development than on updating the permitting process.

Given Ukiah’s largely built-out environment, there is now a clear need for updated sign regulations that support existing business owners, clarify permitting requirements, and improve Staff efficiency. For example, Staff notes that in recent years, very few sign permits have been submitted for projects not requiring building review, such as changes in sign copy or temporary banners, even though these typically require a permit under existing guidelines. These include updates to sign copy or temporary banners. These types of signs typically require a permit under current guidelines.

Mindful of the general plan and changes in advertising trends and allowances, Staff has prepared the recommended Ordinance (Attachment 1) for adoption. The proposal was reviewed and received a previous recommendation from the Planning Commission (Attachment 2), as well as the Design Review Board, prior to introduction to the City Council at its regular meeting on May 21, 2025.

Design Review Board: The Design Review Board (DRB) met on February 27, 2025, to review the proposed

amendment. The DRB unanimously recommended that the Planning Commission approve the amendment, with the following modifications:

1. Change the hearing body for Mural Permits from the Zoning Administrator to the Design Review Board.

2. Strengthen enforcement and clarity in the following sections: UCC 3230: Maintenance and Repair; UCC 3231: Abandoned Signs; UCC 3232: Sign Removal
The DRB also suggested that it serve as the body to evaluate mural permits on private commercial structures and provide recommendations on architecture, site design, signage, and other urban design elements to City staff, the Zoning Administrator, the Planning Commission, and City Council.

Planning Commission: On April 23, 2025, the Ukiah Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments to the Ukiah City Code and unanimously recommended approval to the City Council, adopting Resolution No. 2025-01 (Attachment 2). In addition to supporting the ordinance, the Commission recommended that the City Council consider removing Section 3227(12) of the Ukiah City Code. This section refers to the “Freeway Logo Board System,” which is now in place.

California began implementing the freeway logo sign program in 1971. These blue signs display gas, food, and lodging services. The special provisions allowing increased sign height were intended to be temporary and only applicable until the freeway logo system became available. Now that the system is in place, those provisions no longer apply. All affected signs must conform to the general provisions of the City of Ukiah sign ordinance and be removed within three years of the logo system’s availability.

City Council - Introduction: At its Regular Meeting on May 21, 2025, the Ukiah City Council unanimously moved to introduce the ordinance for adoption (4-0). The Council introduced the ordinance as recommended by Staff, with one minor modification to Section 3225(I) concerning special event signage. The revised language specifies that governmental, educational, civic, or religious special event signs may be posted up to twenty (20) days before the event and must be removed within two (2) days afterward. The maximum sign size and number limitations have been removed, but signs must receive prior approval from the Community Development Director. This section does not apply to handbills or small posters for the same events.

Discussion: The proposed ordinance amends Ukiah City Code Division 9, Chapter 7, “Signs,” to ensure consistency across zoning districts and address prohibited signage. If adopted, the amendments will clarify existing regulations, align with the 2040 General Plan, and improve readability and enforcement, particularly regarding prohibited signage. The goal is to balance business visibility with community aesthetics, minimize visual clutter, and address potential concerns from digital signage. It also streamlines the review of signage that doesn’t require a building permit by using objective standards. Additionally, murals on private structures will no longer require Planning Commission review but will be evaluated by the Design Review Board to encourage more public artwork by reducing application barriers.

These updates are part of the City’s ongoing efforts to modernize development standards, support local businesses, and enhance the visual character of commercial and neighborhood areas. While the existing sign regulations balance business visibility with aesthetic and safety considerations, updates are needed to reflect technological advances, new advertising methods, and streamline the administrative process. The proposed amendments include the following changes:

Prohibited Signs
The ordinance clarifies and expands sign prohibitions to address emerging technologies and advertising trends. It directly prohibits attention-getting devices like flashing, rotating, animated, or moving signs, including digital signage with video screens, LED displays with frequent image changes, and scrolling text. Air-powered inflatable devices and motion-based flags are also prohibited. Signs that emit sound or visual effects, such as interactive fuel dispenser screens, are banned. Additionally, cannabis, alcohol, and tobacco signage that depicts minors or uses imagery appealing to children would be further restricted. Outdoor advertising, such as billboards and off-site signs, remains prohibited. The ordinance also explicitly bans signs that physically move

or create the illusion of movement, including digital signs with frequently changing images or videos. Current regulations allow 60 days to remove prohibited or nonconforming signs, but this would be reduced to 30 days to improve visual aesthetics and minimize distractions.

Staff also recommends tightening regulations on cannabis-related signage, in line with California Code of Regulations §15040, and extending similar provisions to alcohol- and tobacco-related signage, although these entities appear effectively regulated by various industry, state, and federal standards.

Streamlined Review Process
To better align with the General Plan, the City proposes streamlining the sign review process by processing all sign approvals through the Building or Encroachment Permit process, eliminating the need for separate signspecific permits. Temporary signage regulations would also be simplified by allowing certain temporary signage without a permit. The allowable display period for temporary banners, pennants, and balloons would be reduced from 45 days to 15 days per year. Additionally, the proposed changes expand the types of signs exempt from permits, such as painted wall and window signs that don’t require building, electrical, or encroachment permits. Property owners could also replace sign copy without requiring approval, as long as no building or encroachment permits are necessary.

These changes are intended to reduce administrative burdens, improve efficiency, and support local businesses by streamlining the review process.

Minor Modifications
The ordinance includes provisions to encourage artistic murals on private structures by shifting review to the Design Review Board, making it easier to install public art and improve community character. The ordinance also updates signage allowances for churches and schools in R1 zoning districts, acknowledging their unique role in Ukiah’s neighborhoods and the limitations of the City's existing sign regulations. Additionally, provisions are included to allow advertisements on public sidewalks for City-sponsored events, such as “Pastels in the Plaza.” Lastly, the ordinance updates titles and internal references to align with current City procedures and removes subjective terms, such as "tasteful," that were hard to define.

Design Standards & Illumination
In line with regulations from other California jurisdictions, the proposed ordinance sets clear design standards and illumination requirements to ensure high-quality, architecturally compatible signage while minimizing light pollution.
• Design Standards (UCC §3228): Signs must integrate with building architecture, using proportional designs and appropriate materials that preserve architectural and historic features. New internally illuminated signs would be restricted in non-commercial zones, and durable materials would be required for long-term integrity.
• Illumination (UCC §3229): To prevent glare and light pollution, signs must shield light sources, dim after 10:00 PM, and limit brightness. External and halo lighting are preferred for new monument signs, and illuminated signs must avoid light spill onto adjacent properties or public rights-of-way.

These updates aim to balance visibility needs with community character and environmental considerations.

Code Compliance
The proposed amendment enhances enforcement by clarifying fines, expanding the Community Development Director’s authority, and strengthening penalties. Compliance timeframes would also be shortened, improving the regulation and oversight of temporary signage. The Planning Division and Code Enforcement staff will use

the interim period before the ordinance takes effect to conduct outreach, educate property owners, and offer businesses a chance to rectify non-compliant signage before penalties are imposed.

Analysis Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act The proposed ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3), the Common Sense Exemption, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. The ordinance does not authorize new development, intensify land uses, or permit physical alterations that would result in environmental impacts.

Instead, it updates and clarifies existing regulations related to signage, streamlines administrative procedures, and establishes objective standards for review.

Additionally, the project is categorically exempt under the following CEQA Guidelines:
• §15301 (Existing Facilities): Applies because the ordinance pertains primarily to continued use and minor alterations of existing signage infrastructure with negligible or no expansion of use. • §15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures): Applies to occasional new, small freestanding signs or minor structural modifications consistent with the updated standards. • §15311 (Accessory Structures): Applies on-premises signage accessory to legally established uses.

The project does not trigger any exceptions under §15300.2 that would preclude use of these exemptions.

Staff recommends Council adopt the Ordinance (Attachment 1) amending Ukiah City Code to update the City's sign regulations by modifying standards for signage type, placement, illumination, and design consistency across zoning districts.

Recommended Action: Adopt an Ordinance amending Ukiah City Code to update the sign regulations by modifying standards for signage type, placement, illumination, and design consistency across zoning districts.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH ADDING AND AMENDING

VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE UKIAH CITY CODE REGULATING SIGNAGE The City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby ordains as follows:

SECTION ONE. FINDINGS
• The City’s sign regulations, outlined in Division 9, Chapter 7 of the Ukiah City Code, provide standards for signage across zoning districts. These regulations have been periodically updated since the adoption of Ordinance No. 685 in 1976, with further amendments made through Ordinances 756 (1981), 822 (1983), 1106 (2008), and 1148 (2014).
• The City’s 2040 General Plan includes Land Use Element Policy LU-11.7, which directs the City to streamline and clarify the sign review and approval process. • The current sign regulations require updates to reflect advancements in technology, changes in advertising practices, and to correct administrative inefficiencies. These updates are necessary to maintain a balance between business visibility, community aesthetics, and public safety.
• The proposed amendments are intended to clarify sign types, streamline the approval process, establish stricter illumination standards to reduce light pollution, and improve enforcement through clearer compliance mechanisms.
• The Design Review Board is established to ensure that new development and aesthetic improvements within the City reflect adopted design standards and preserve community character.
• To support this role, the Design Review Board will have the authority to review and approve Mural Permits for artwork proposed on private structures. This review process ensures consistency with design guidelines, respects historical context, provides opportunities for public input, and reflects community values.
• The City has determined that the proposed ordinance amendment is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities), 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), 15311 (Accessory Structures), and the general exemption under Section 15061(b)(3).

WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah's 2040 General Plan includes Land Use Element Policy LU-11.7 (Sign Regulations), which calls for streamlining and clarifying the sign review and approval process; and WHEREAS, existing sign regulations require updates to address technological advancements, evolving advertising methods, and administrative inefficiencies, ensuring a balance between business visibility, aesthetic considerations, and public safety; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments clarify signage types, streamline the approval process, establish stricter illumination standards to reduce light pollution, and improve enforceability through clearer compliance mechanisms; and
WHEREAS, the proposed ordinance amendment includes updates that:

1. Clarify and expand prohibitions on certain sign types, including digital displays with frequent image changes, animated graphics, air-powered inflatables, and signs that emit sound or visual distractions;

3. Modify illumination standards to reduce light pollution and include design standards ensure signs are more compatible with surrounding development;

4. Reduce allowable display periods for temporary banners and similar signs from 45 days per year to 15 days per year without the need for a sign permit and other measures to reduce staff review requirements; and

1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.

2. The proposed changes in the Sign Ordinance Amendment are consistent with the City of Ukiah 2040 General Plan.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendments to the City's Recruitment and Retention Incentive Program.

DEPARTMENT: Human Resources /
Risk Management PREPARED BY: Sheri Mannion, H.R. Director/Risk Manager PRESENTER:

1. 2019-001 Administrative Policy - Recruitment and Retention Incentive Program_Revised Summary: The amended Recruitment and Retention Incentive Program policy provides the City Manager with expanded authority to offer both recruitment and retention incentives for classifications identified as difficult to fill or at risk of turnover. Additionally, it increases the relocation reimbursement benefit to better reflect current market conditions and the cost of moving to the Ukiah area.

Background: The Recruitment and Retention Incentive Program was originally adopted in November 2019 to support recruitment efforts for critical classifications. Incentives such as hiring bonuses, relocation reimbursements, housing assistance, and accrual adjustments have been offered under this policy to attract qualified candidates. Given ongoing market demands that contribute to workforce challenges in rural communities, it is essential to revise this policy to also emphasize the retention and development of existing team members.

Discussion: The City of Ukiah provides a full range of complex services, many of which utilize positions that require specialized training and certifications. Due to the nature of these specializations, as well as the proximity to areas like Sonoma County and the Bay Area, it can be challenging to recruit and retain qualified employees in Mendocino County. The revised Recruitment and Retention Incentive Program (Attachment 1) reflects a deliberate approach to addressing these challenges by broadening the scope of the policy and formalizing additional tools to support workforce stability and development.

One of the most notable additions is the inclusion of retention incentives—a recognition that retaining experienced Staff is just as critical as recruiting new talent. Turnover in certain classifications creates not only operational disruptions but also substantial training and onboarding costs. By authorizing retention incentives for current employees in classifications deemed critical or difficult to fill, the City can take proactive steps to stabilize its workforce and preserve institutional knowledge.

The policy also now includes a Critical Training Incentive and Service Agreement. While the City already provides financial support for significant job-related training such as police academies, paramedic certification programs, and electric utility schools, these investments have historically been made without a formal mechanism to ensure service continuity. Given the public nature of the funds used to support such training, the revised policy introduces a service commitment requirement. This agreement will ensure that employees who benefit from City-sponsored training programs contribute a defined period of service post-completion, or repay a portion of the costs if they voluntarily separate early. Service agreements will be developed as needed and reviewed by internal counsel to ensure legal sufficiency and alignment with City policy. This change helps protect the City’s investment and aligns with best practices in public sector workforce development.

Additionally, the relocation reimbursement benefit is recommended to increase from $8,000 to up to $10,000, which is more consistent with the current cost of relocating to the Ukiah area. This adjustment makes the City more competitive in attracting external candidates, especially in specialized fields where talent is in high demand and relocation is often a barrier to recruitment.

These updates position the City of Ukiah to better compete for skilled employees while also reinforcing a culture of accountability and investment in public service careers.

Staff recommends Council adopt the revised Recruitment and Retention Incentive Program administrative policy to enhance the City’s ability to recruit and retain qualified team members.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended that Council adopt the revised Recruitment and Retention Incentive Program administrative policy to enhance the City’s ability to recruit and retain qualified Staff by:

1. Expanding the purpose of the policy to include employee retention in addition to recruitment.

2. Clarifying the City Manager’s authority to approve retention incentives for existing employees in critical classifications.

3. Requiring employees who receive City-sponsored training to sign a Service Commitment Agreement, establishing a minimum service period and/or repayment obligation.

4. Increasing the relocation reimbursement benefit from $8,000 to $10,000 to reflect current market conditions for moving to the Ukiah area.

I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Recruitment and Retention Incentive Program is to provide the City Manager with additional recruitment tools to allow the City to be more competitive in attracting qualified candidates for specific classifications that are deemed “difficult to fill”. These classes are defined as those that are highly competitive in the labor market due to specialized skills and/or certifications, and/or those classes in which there is a high turnover, which significantly affects the City’s efforts to recruit staff to provide essential public services. In addition to recruitment, this policy supports retention strategies to recognize and invest in existing employees whose continued service is vital to the City’s operational effectiveness and service delivery.

II. ADMINSTRATIVE AUTHORITY
In cooperation with Human Resources and Department Directors, the City Manager is authorized to approve recruitment and retention incentives during active recruitments, and to designate approve the classifications eligible to receive such incentives. The City Manager may also authorize retention incentives for exiting employees in critical positions or classifications at risk of turnover when justified by operational necessity or labor market conditions.

Recruitment incentives defined in this policy are provided by the City of Ukiah outside the negotiation process and may be modified or discontinued at any time at the City’s discretion.

The City Manager shall exercise final authority regarding the interpretation of program policies and eligibility for incentives payments consistent with the intent of this program. The City Manager is authorized to refine implementation procedures of this program as deemed appropriate and select which incentive(s) are appropriate to achieve the defined purpose of the policy for specific classifications and at select times. In whole or part, the City Manager may suspend or terminate this program should such incentive no longer be required.

III. INCENTIVE TOOLS

3.1 Housing Benefits
The City Manager is authorized to provide a housing benefitbenefit of up to $10,000$8,000.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of a Five (5) Year Agreement with RingCentral for the Purchase of a New Phone System for a Total of $156,625.20 Plus Additional Taxes That Apply.

DEPARTMENT: Information Services PREPARED BY: Scott Shaver, I.T. Manager, James Brown PRESENTER: Consent Calendar

1. RingCentral 5 Year Proposal

2. Maverick Networks Proposal
Summary:

Council will consider approval of a five (5) year agreement with RingCentral for the purchase of a new phone system for a total of $156,625.20 plus additional taxes that apply.

Background: The City’s existing phone system is outdated, with several of the hardware phone controllers currently failing or in a failure state. This has caused communication disruptions and poses a growing risk to operations across departments. Additionally, the system is increasingly difficult to maintain, with limited support for aging hardware and software.

The lack of modern communication features such as softphones, call routing flexibility, mobile access, and voicemail-to-email reliably has hindered operational efficiency, especially in departments with complex communication needs such as Police, Fire, and Utilities.

To address these concerns, the IT Department evaluated proposals from several leading Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) providers, including Zoom, 8x8, and RingCentral. Quote estimates and service analyses were reviewed in detail, as reflected in the attached proposal documents. After thorough analysis of recurring costs, feature sets, implementation readiness, and vendor support, RingCentral’s RingEX and RingCX platforms were identified as the best fit for the City’s current and future needs.

Discussion:

The proposed solution includes:
• RingCentral Service Agreement-60 Months (Attachment 1):
o 97 DigitalLine Advanced Licenses
o 19 Basic Lines
o 6 RingCX Agent Seats
o Monthly recurring cost: $2,237.37, or $26,848.44 per year. o One-time cost: $22,383.00 for phones
o Total cost of $156,625.20 for all five years.

This project will also require the following additional one-time cost (not subject to Council's approval) if the RingCentral agreement is approved:
• Maverick Networks Implementation Services (Attachment 2):
o $19,640 for planning, design, user interface setup, RingCX configuration, and training o Professional project management and training tailored to the City’s operational needs This results in a total first year cost of $68,871.44 plus any additional taxes that may apply, and a total project cost of $176,265.20. The ongoing yearly costs of the system will be budgeted and paid for in future fiscal years.

RingCentral services are procured through the OMNIA cooperative contract (R200902), and Maverick Networks' implementation is through a Sourcewell contract #120122-MBS. Staff have reviewed and verified that the contract was procured through a competitive solicitation process that satisfies all applicable bidding requirements.

This upgrade will resolve frequent recurring phone system issues, improve communication efficiency, support hybrid work, and future-proof the City’s telecommunications infrastructure.

Staff recommends Council approve a five (5) year agreement with RingCentral for the purchase of a new phone system for a total of $156,625.20 plus additional taxes that apply.

Recommended Action: Approve a five (5) year agreement with RingCentral for the purchase of a new phone system for a total of $156,625.20 plus additional taxes that apply.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approve Plans and Specifications for the Fairgrounds Storm Drain Replacement Project Specification 25-02 and Authorize Staff to Issue Bids.

3. Fairgrounds Storm Drain Replacement - Engineer Estimate Summary: Staff will consider approving the plans and specifications for the Fairgrounds Storm Drain Replacement Project Specification 25-02 and authorize Staff to issue bids.

Background: In March 2014, City Staff presented an item to the City Council concerning the storm drain that runs through and services the Redwood Empire Fairgrounds (Fairgrounds). The storm drain system was originally installed as a joint effort between the City of Ukiah and the Fairgrounds, with construction occurring in or shortly after 1962.

Since its installation, the storm drain has reached the end of its expected service life and is now exhibiting deterioration typical of infrastructure of this age. At the time the issue was brought to City Staff in 2014, a small sinkhole had developed in the western upper dirt parking lot near State Street. Following extensive discussions regarding maintenance responsibility, the City took the lead and hired a professional civil engineer to design a replacement system for the aging storm drain infrastructure. Design efforts continued for several years; however, the engineer was ultimately unable to complete the project due to impending development by the Fairgrounds. There was a proposed project on the upper parking lot that was important to avoid storm drain pipe alignment. The exact location was undetermined and the final pipe alignment was never determined.

Recently, the Fairgrounds staff have raised concerns with the deterioration of the pipe. This renewed attention prompted City Staff to revisit and complete the design plans that had been initiated nearly a decade earlier.

Discussion: The plans prepared by City staff are now presented for Council review and approval. While the design is complete, funding for the project has not yet been finalized. The City and the Fairgrounds are currently in negotiations to determine an appropriate cost-sharing arrangement. The Fairgrounds Board and staff have expressed concern regarding the limited construction window. In response, City Staff have agreed to move forward with advertising the project for bids. However, Staff have also advised the Fairgrounds that if a funding agreement is not reached, the City will be obligated to reject all submitted bids. The engineer’s construction cost estimate for the project is $823,630.

See Attachment 1 for a copy of the plans, Attachment 2 for a copy of the bid specification, and Attachment 3 for a copy of the Engineer's Estimate.

At this time, no budget amendment is being requested, as both the funding sources and cost-sharing agreement remain unresolved. This item will be brought back to Council for further consideration once bids have been received and financial details have been finalized.

Staff recommends Council approve the plans and specifications for the Fairgrounds Storm Drain Replacement Project Specification 25-02 and authorize Staff to issue bids.
