Summary: The City Council will consider introducing by title only a Camping Ordinance Amendment that responds to City of Grants Pass v. Johnson and incorporates elements of the State's Model Encampment Ordinance.

Background: The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson issued on June 28, 2024, centered around a local jurisdiction’s ability to enforce a ban on public camping when sufficient shelter for unhoused individuals is not available. The ruling reversed a Ninth Circuit decision that prohibited local restrictions on public camping as unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment, unless the person was provided access to adequate temporary shelter. This ruling allows local jurisdictions greater latitude to enforce anti-camping rules even when alternative shelter is not offered to the unhoused individual. The City of Ukiah's current City Code provisions prohibiting public camping were adopted in February 2019 and reflect the previous Ninth Circuit limitations on the authority state and local government entities to enforce public camping prohibitions. These limiting regulations are no longer required in light of the Supreme Court ruling.

On July 25, 2024, in response to the Supreme Court's holding that states and their subdivisions can take reasonable actions to clear encampments, the Governor of the State of California signed Executive Order N-1- 24, which directed state agencies to develop policies to prioritize addressing encampments on state property while providing reasonable advance notice and partnering with shelter and services providers. Executive Order N-1-24 also encouraged local governments to adopt similar policies, and to use all available resources and infrastructure, including the historic resources provided by the State, to take urgent action to humanely remove encampments from public spaces.

On May 12, 2025, the Governor released a model ordinance (“Model Ordinance”) for cities and counties to address unhealthy and dangerous encampments and which follows and builds on the Executive Order N-1-24

by providing model methods to local jurisdictions to quickly address encampments and use state and local funding to connect people experiencing homelessness with the care and support they need.

Discussion: In response to the Supreme Court's decision in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson and the Governor's Executive Order N-1-24 and Model Ordinance for addressing the public health and safety issues posed by public camping and encampments, City staff propose a number of amendments to the current City Code provisions prohibiting public camping. The proposed Camping Ordinance Amendment is attached to this staff report in redline as Attachment 1 and as a clear version in Attachment 2. The Ordinance includes the following changes to the current anti-camping provisions in the City Code:

1. The Ordinance removes the requirement that the public camping provisions can be enforced only if shelter space is available and the individual who is camping in the public right of way in violation of the Ordinance refuses to use the shelter space. In addition, the Ordinance removes a number of provisions that were intended to limit public camping to certain hours, locations, and encampment size in the event that the lack of available shelter space made enforcement of the Ordinance impossible. Finally, the Ordinance requires that Ukiah Police Department officers or other City officials who are delegated the authority to enforce the Ordinance make reasonable efforts to assist an individual who is violating the Ordinance to find alternate shelter and supportive services.

2. The Ordinance authorizes the Chief of the Ukiah Police Department to delegate enforcement authority to other City officials.

3. The Ordinance adds an explicit prohibition on camping in the public right of way, in a manner that impedes passage within the meaning of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

While the Model Ordinance sets forth required procedures for enforcement of public camping prohibitions that are intended to prevent unconstitutional enforcement of such provisions, the Camping Ordinance Amendment retains the City's current approach, which requires the Ukiah Police Department to "adopt a policy establishing procedures to be followed . . . in the enforcement of [the Ordinance] that prevent [the Ordinance] from being enforced in an arbitrary or discriminatory manner and that prevent the violation of the constitutional right to due process and to be free from unreasonable search or seizure." Furthermore, while the Model Ordinance outlines procedures for collecting and retaining personal property collected at encampment sites, the Camping Ordinance Amendment retains the City Council's authority and responsibility to set such procedures by resolution. The Ukiah Police Department and Mendocino County Department of Social Services recently adopted an updated Homeless Encampment Coordination Protocol (Attachment 3) that is intended, in part, to ensure constitutional enforcement of the City's public camping prohibition and to set forth procedures for collecting and storing personal property collected from camp sites and encampments while preventing health and safety threats to City and County officials changed with collecting and storing such personal property.

Staff recommends Council introduce by title only the Camping Ordinance Amendment.

Recommended Action: Introduce by title only the Camping Ordinance Amendment.

ORDINANCE NO.X
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH AMENDING DIVISION 7, CHAPTER 1, ARTICLE 8 OF THE UKIAH CITY CODE, ENTITLED “CAMPING” TO REFLECT GUIDANCE PROVIDED BY STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN ITS “MODEL ORDINANCE: ADDRESSING ENCAMPMENTS WITH URGENCY AND DIGNITY.” The City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby ordains as follows:

SECTION ONE. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF INTENT

1. Unauthorized overnight camping in the City poses significant risks to public health and safety, including environmental damage.

2. Such camping can expose the campers to crimes from which they would be protected, if they were camping in designated campgrounds or facilities.

3. Unauthorized overnight camping occurs where proper sanitation and cooking facilities are not available resulting in unhealthful and unsanitary conditions.

4. Unauthorized overnight camping in the floodway results in trash, human waste and food waste being deposited in close proximity to creeks, streams and rivers. These waterways are used for recreation and drinking water and support fish and wildlife.

5. Unauthorized overnight camping and the storage of camping paraphernalia on public property interferes with the general public’s access and use of such property for the purposes for which it is intended.

6. Unauthorized overnight camping and the adverse impacts from such activity pose a significant public health and environmental problem in the City.

7. After the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson clarified that states and their subdivisions can take reasonable actions to clear encampments, the Governor of the State of California signed Executive Order N-1-24, which directed state agencies to develop policies to prioritize addressing encampments on state property while providing reasonable advance notice and partnering with shelter and services providers.

8. Executive Order N-1-24 also encouraged local governments to adopt similar policies, and to use all available resources and infrastructure, including the historic resources provided by the State, to take urgent action to humanely remove encampments from public spaces.

9. On May 12, 2025, the Governor released a model ordinance (“Model Ordinance”) for cities and counties to address unhealthy and dangerous encampments and which follows and builds on the Executive Order N-1-24 by providing model methods to local jurisdictions to quickly address encampments and use state and local funding to connect people experiencing homelessness with the care and support they need.

10. By adopting these amendments to the City’s Camping regulations, the City Council intends to update the application of camping restrictions in the City to reflect the legal effects of Grants Pass v. Johnson and to incorporate elements of the Model Ordinance that will enhance the City’s ability to humanely remove encampments from public spaces, to provide care and support to people experiencing homelessness, and to protect public health and safety and to keep public property accessible and useful to the general public for the purposes for which it was acquired and is maintained.

Attachment 3 SS-25-053

2 could be categorized as “occupying” or “operating” a camp. That turns necessary survival into a punishable offense.

Pushing people from sidewalks into jail, or into another sidewalk, is not care and not safety. Real solutions come from housing, treatment, and support, not criminalization.

I urge you to reject these changes and focus on policies that address the real causes of homelessness, rather than punishing those who are already vulnerable.

Section 112.5.1 Initiating Appeal. Any beneficially interested party has the right to appeal the order served by the fire code official by filing a written “NOTICE OF APPEAL” with the office of the fire code official within ten days after service of such order and upon payment of the sum of $150. In the event the order of the fire code official is overturned following the appeal, the fee shall be returned. The notice shall state the order appealed from, the identity and mailing address of the Appellant, and the specific grounds upon which the appeal is made.

Section 112.5.2, Stay of Order, of Chapter 1 is added to read as follows:

Section 112.5.2 Stay of Order. The timely filing of a properly completed notice of appeal shall have the effect of staying the implementation of the order appealed from until the final decision of the appeal.

Failure to file a timely notice of appeal waives any right to further challenge the order of the fire code official. “File” means delivered to the office of the fire code official at 300 Seminary Ln, Ukiah, California 95482.

Exception: Orders affecting acts or conditions which in the opinion of the fire code official, pose an immediate threat to life, property, or the environment as a result of panic, fire, explosion, or release are enforceable when made and are not stayed by the filing of a notice of appeal.

Section 112.5.3, Hearing of Appeal, of Chapter 1 is added to read as follows:

Section 112.5.3 Hearing of Appeal. Following is the process for establishing and hearing appeals:

The Board of Appeals, or the secretary thereof, shall set the matter to be heard at a date within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice of appeal. Written notice of the time and place set for hearing shall be served on the Appellant by first class mail to the mailing address given in the notice of appeal. A hearing may not be conducted less than 20 days after notice is given to the applicant. The Board of Appeals may adopt rules governing the conduct of its hearings. Those rules shall include, at least,

the following:

1. The fire code official shall submit evidence at the hearing substantiating his/her decision. Such evidence may include testimony, fire district, police or other reports of the incident, witness statements, and other documents. Not less than 10 days prior to the scheduled hearing, the fire code official must notify the Appellant of the name, address, and phone number of any witness to the violation and furnish the Appellant with a copy of any document the fire code official intends to submit at the hearing. Not less than seven (7) days prior to the hearing, the Appellant may request the fire code official to produce at the hearing any witness he/she intends to rely upon to substantiate the violation. The written request must name the witness or witnesses who are requested to attend the hearing. The fire code official may not rely on the testimony of any witness (including such testimony contained in reports or written witness statements) whose appearance at the hearing is required by this subsection if that witness fails to appear.

2. Not less than 10 days prior to the hearing, the Appellant must notify the fire code official in writing of the name, address, and phone number of any witness the Appellant intends to call as a witness at the hearing, provide a brief description of the proposed testimony, and furnish the fire code official with a copy of any document the Appellant intends to offer as evidence at the hearing. The Appellant may not call any witness to testify at the hearing who was not identified as required by this subsection or offer any document as evidence at the hearing that was not provided to the fire code official as required by this subsection.

3. At the hearing, the Appellant may be represented by an attorney, at the Appellant’s expense. Both the fire code official and the Appellant shall have the right to examine and cross-examine any witness produced at the hearing. The rules of evidence that normally apply in court shall not apply in a hearing before the Board of Appeals, but it shall only consider evidence that would be relied upon by reasonable people making an important decision and shall disregard evidence that by its nature is unreliable or not credible.

4. The entire hearing shall be electronically or stenographically recorded. The Board of Appeals shall base its decision exclusively on the evidence presented at the hearing and shall issue a written decision, which includes a statement of the relevant facts that it finds to be true and explains how the facts support its decision. The record of the hearing shall be preserved for not less than six (6) months after the decision is served on the Appellant.

The Board of Appeals may issue a decision affirming, modifying, or vacating the order of the fire code official. The decision shall be in writing and shall be served upon the Appellant by first class mail to the mailing address given in the notice of appeal. The hearing decision shall include notice of the Appellant’s right to seek review of the decision pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1094.5 and 1094.6.

Section 112.5.5, Finality of the Decision of the Board of Appeals, of Chapter 1 is added to read as follows:

Section 112.5.5 Finality of the Decision of the Board of Appeals. The decision of the Board of Appeals shall be the final decision for the District. The Board of Appeals shall have the power to continue any hearing and may, at its discretion, take the appeal under submission.

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.

RESOLUTION 2025-X

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 2025 Edition of the California Fire Code with reference to the 2024 Edition of the International Fire Code, changes or modifies certain provisions of the 2025 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 2025 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 2025 California Fire Code, 2024 International Fire Code and the 2025 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 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 Attachment 3

fires, 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 Population. 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 on-street 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 large-scale emergencies such as earthquake and wildland fire. e. Topography. 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. Summary. 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.

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

ATTACHMENTS:

1. 2025 City Council Special Assignments and Ad Hocs
Summary: City Council members will provide reports and updates on their committee and ad hoc assignments. If necessary, the Council may consider modifications.

Background: City Council members are assigned to a number of committees and ad hoc activities. These assignments are included as Attachment 1.

Discussion: Previously, the City Council discussed having more time allocated to reporting on committee and ad hoc activities. Often, the Council Reports section of the regular agenda is rushed due to impending business (i.e., public hearings), and not enough time is afforded for reports beyond community activities.

In an effort to foster regular updates on committee and ad hoc assignments, this item is being placed on the agenda to provide the City Council members an expanded opportunity to report on assignments and modify assignments as necessary.

Recommended Action: Receive report(s). The Council will consider modifications to committee and ad hoc assignments along with the creation/elimination ad hoc(s).
