II. INTRODUCTION

1. Purpose of the CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Findings of Consistency California Public Resources Code section 21083.3 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183 provide an exemption from additional environmental review for projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.

Section 15183 specifies that examination of environmental effects shall be limited to those effects that:
(1) Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located, and were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which the project is consistent,
(2) Are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the general plan, community plan or zoning action, or
(3) Are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR.

Since the adoption of a zoning ordinance is considered a discretionary action and a "Project" under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, the application of Section 15183 is appropriate for this legislative action. This section limits the examination of environmental effects to those effects that are peculiar to the project or its site, or which the prior EIR failed to analyze.

2. Ukiah 2040 General Plan EIR
The Ukiah 2040 General Plan and its associated EIR (SCH# 2022050556) were certified in December 2022. The General Plan designates land uses defining the type and amount of development that can occur throughout the City and proposed annexation areas through the planning horizon year of 2040 (over approximately 18 years). The EIR serves as the foundational environmental document for subsequent projects and implementing ordinances, such as the proposed Open Space Zoning District. The adoption of the O-S Ordinance is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and can therefore utilize this prior environmental analysis for tiering and streamlining purposes.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1. Project Purpose
The Open Space (O-S) Zoning District Ordinance establishes a regulatory mechanism to implement the open space conservation goals of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan. The purpose of the O-S district is to conserve natural resources, preserve ecological systems, protect scenic

and cultural landscapes, and provide opportunities for passive recreation and public access where appropriate.

The ordinance addresses the following core goals and policies of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan:
• Goal ENV-1: To preserve open space lands for natural resource protection, recreation, scenic enjoyment, and hazard avoidance.
• Policy ENV-6.7 and Policy LU-6.3: By providing a regulatory mechanism to identify, preserve, and manage creek corridors, hillsides, and ridgelines for trails, wildlife habitat, and public access.
• Action Item ENV-1.2(C): By establishing allowances ensuring compatibility with longterm land conservation and watershed management objectives, specifically referencing the Western Hills Watershed Protection Area Management Plan (2024). • Government Code Compliance: The ordinance fulfills the intent of state law (Government Code Sections 65302 and 65560–65570) requiring the City to adopt measures to implement the Open Space and Conservation Elements of the General Plan.

2. Environmental Setting and Project Location
The City of Ukiah is located in the Ukiah Valley, a region defined by a mix of urban development, agricultural lands, and undeveloped natural areas. Open space, meaning land or water areas that remain largely unimproved and support ecological, recreational, or scenic values, is an important component of the broader landscape. The Ukiah Valley includes significant areas of hillside, riparian corridors, and rural lands that contribute to the environmental and visual character of the region.

Within the city limits, the City of Ukiah owns and manages a range of park and recreation facilities totaling approximately 260 acres. These include neighborhood and community parks, as well as Low Gap Park, an 80-acre open space area owned by Mendocino County. Low Gap Park features an existing network of trails that extend into the hills west of the city and support passive recreation uses. Additional regional open space areas within the City's planning sphere include Mill Creek Park (400 acres), Lake Mendocino Recreation Area (5,110 acres), and Cow Mountain Recreation Area (60,000 acres). These regional open space areas are managed by the County of Mendocino, or Federal entities, such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or the Bureau of Land Management. The Russian River also provides recreational opportunities for Ukiah residents, with public access available at four locations within or near city limits: the City Softball Complex, Vichy Springs Road crossing, Riverside Park, and the Talmage Road crossing.

The City’s existing holdings help to preserve the valley’s natural features and ecological health.

These lands include oak woodlands, hillside areas, and riparian corridors that provide important wildlife habitat and natural space for residents. While some areas are open to the public, others feature restricted access or lack formal infrastructure. Recent acquisitions such as the CityOwned Annexation (2023) and the Western Hills Annexation (2024) have expanded the City’s open space inventory and provide future opportunities for preservation and management. These

areas contribute to long-range goals for viewshed protection, wildfire risk reduction, and public recreation. While these lands currently function as open space, they are designated Public (P) in the General Plan and zoned Public Facilities (PF) in the zoning code.

With the adoption of the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, the City established a new Open Space land use designation. This designation applies to lands that are unsuitable for development due to environmental constraints such as slope instability, fire hazard, poor access, or flood risk, or that are otherwise considered most valuable in their undeveloped state. Typical areas include creek corridors, hillsides, and ridgelines. The Open Space designation is intended to ensure the longterm protection of these areas for ecological, recreational, or scenic purposes.

At present, the City’s zoning code does not include a corresponding Open Space zoning district.

As a result, lands designated as Open Space in the General Plan cannot be zoned in a manner consistent with the intended use. This ordinance would enable implementation of the General Plan by providing a regulatory framework for the management, use, and protection of designated open space lands. Although the ordinance applies citywide, it would initially affect a limited number of parcels owned or controlled by the City. Future rezonings to apply the O-S district to other properties would be subject to separate discretionary review and environmental evaluation, as applicable.

IV. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The following evaluation determines whether the proposed O-S Zoning Ordinance qualifies for streamlined review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 by evaluating the three mandatory findings (Density, Project-Specific Effects, and Unanalyzed Impacts) required by the guidelines.

1. Density
Finding: The proposed Open Space Zoning Ordinance is consistent with the development density established by the Ukiah 2040 General Plan policies for which an EIR was certified.

Discussion: The Open Space (OS) designation in the Ukiah 2040 General Plan explicitly establishes the density and intensity as N/A (not applicable) for both Minimum/Maximum Density (dwelling units per acre) and Floor Area Ratio. The designation is intended to identify lands that are to remain undeveloped due to environmental constraints or conservation value. The O-S Zoning District is designed specifically to enforce this intent, conserving natural resources and restricting development.

The limited allowed uses in the O-S district, such as public trails, conservation and habitat restoration activities, and native plant propagation areas, are inherently low-intensity and nonresidential. These uses fully conform to and support the General Plan's designated density of N/A, thereby maintaining consistency with the General Plan and meeting the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.

2. Project-Specific Effects Peculiar to the Project or its Site Finding: There are no project-specific environmental effects which are peculiar to the adoption of the O-S Zoning Ordinance or to its sites, and which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.

Discussion: The O-S Ordinance is a regulatory measure whose primary effect is environmental preservation and protection of sensitive lands. The General Plan EIR inherently analyzed the impacts associated with the lack of development in Open Space areas and established policies (e.g., Goal ENV-1, Policy LU-6.2, Goal ENV-6) intended to minimize impacts on scenic vistas, hillsides, and riparian habitats.

The O-S Zoning Ordinance directly implements these protective goals, such as safeguarding creek corridors and managing open space resources. Since the ordinance focuses on conservation, it reinforces the environmental baselines assumed in the EIR. Any future development activities permitted by the ordinance (e.g., public trails or habitat restoration) would be site-specific projects requiring subsequent environmental documentation (such as an Initial Study or site-specific environmental review) to ensure compliance with the EIR and identify any peculiar, site-specific effects. The adoption of the ordinance itself, being a consistent and protective regulatory act, does not introduce new environmental effects peculiar to the parcels that were not already contemplated under the General Plan's land use designation.

3. Significant Impacts Not Analyzed in the Prior EIR
Finding: There are no project-specific impacts which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.

Discussion: The EIR certified for the Ukiah 2040 General Plan is a program-level document that analyzed the cumulative and regional impacts of land use patterns, including policies designed to manage and protect natural resources and prevent land use conflicts. The O-S Ordinance is an implementing measure that strictly adheres to the land use assumptions of the General Plan EIR and furthers its protective policies, such as:
• Minimizing Land Use Incompatibilities: The ordinance reduces the potential for urban/resource conflicts by restricting development in environmentally sensitive areas, aligning with Policy LU-7.1 and Goal AG-1.
• Preservation of Resources: By protecting creek corridors, hillsides, and habitat (Policies ENV-6.7/LU-6.3), the ordinance reduces the possibility of significant impacts on biological resources, aesthetic resources, and water quality, which are all issues analyzed in the GP EIR.

Because the ordinance restricts development and solidifies environmental preservation, it results in impacts that are either equivalent to or less severe than those anticipated and analyzed in the certified EIR, and therefore introduces no unanalyzed significant impacts.

4. Cumulative Impacts
Finding: There are no potentially significant offsite and/or cumulative impacts that the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to evaluate.

Discussion: The O-S Ordinance is a component of a larger City strategy aimed at achieving sustainable growth by prioritizing infill development and preserving surrounding open space and agricultural resources (Policy LU-7.1). The establishment of this zoning district contributes positively to the regional environmental and cumulative land use context by providing legal permanency to the protection of ecological systems, scenic areas, and hazard avoidance areas.

The cumulative impacts of development within the City limits, coupled with resource preservation strategies, were addressed in the certified EIR. The O-S Ordinance supports the cumulative goal of long-term sustainability of the region's resources.

5. New Information
Finding: There is no substantial new information that results in more severe environmental impacts than anticipated by the Ukiah 2040 EIR.

Discussion: No substantial new information has been identified demonstrating that the proposed regulatory adoption of the O-S Zoning District would result in more severe impacts than those disclosed in the EIR. The ordinance is consistent with the established General Plan density and land use policy directives. The purpose of the O-S district is to mitigate the hazards inherent to these lands and conserve resources. This function prevents the environmental baseline conditions (which supported the EIR's findings) from being undermined by incompatible development.

V. DETERMINATION
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the City Council finds that the proposed Open Space (O-S) Zoning District Ordinance qualifies for streamlined environmental review because the following conditions are met:

1. The project (adoption of the O-S Zoning Ordinance) is consistent with the development density (N/A) established by the Ukiah 2040 General Plan policies for which an EIR was certified.

2. There are no project-specific effects peculiar to the regulatory action or its general site, and which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.

3. No specific parcels are being rezoned by this action, and no real property is being affected. If rezoning is proposed for any parcel in the future, a site-specific review will be conducted to evaluate the environmental impacts of applying the O-S zoning district to that property.

4. There are no project-specific impacts which the Ukiah 2040 EIR failed to analyze as significant effects.

Therefore, the City Council relies upon the EIR previously certified for the Ukiah 2040 General Plan, and further CEQA review is limited pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and Public Resources Code Section 21083.3.

Summary: Council will consider introducing by title only an Ordinance rezoning 1 Carousel Lane (APN 167- 280-15) to Public Facilities (PF) Zoning District and adopting a Resolution of Application to Mendocino LAFCo to submit the 'City of Ukiah - Corporation Yard Annexation' application.

Background: On January 16, 2020, the City Council adopted the City’s Annexation Policy (Resolution No. 2020-06), which directs the City to pursue, apply for, and support annexations to limit urban sprawl and to ensure efficient delivery of municipal services without undue financial burden on residents. The City’s longrange framework was further advanced with adoption of the 2040 General Plan on December 7, 2022, and adoption of the 2022 Municipal Service Review and Sphere of Influence on December 19, 2022. These documents support annexation of unincorporated parcels to facilitate orderly growth and provision of municipal services.

The City has successfully implemented this policy through recent annexations. On September 11, 2023, Mendocino LAFCo approved annexation A-2021-01, which annexed 16 City-owned parcels totaling approximately 450 acres. These sites were acquired by the City for public purposes beginning with the former Ukiah Landfill in 1955. In the Western Hills of the Ukiah Valley, the City annexed 27 assessor parcels totaling approximately 791 acres, of which the majority of parcels are City-owned. That annexation supported open space preservation, public access, and limited residential development consistent with City policies.

In 2022, to fund the replacement of municipal facilities and associated city street improvements, the City issued approximately $15 million in Lease Revenue Bonds. The existing Corporation Yard is located on the east side of the Ukiah Municipal Airport. The City has outgrown the site, which also features antiquated facilities, and no longer meets the operational needs for Fleet and Plant Maintenance, Street Maintenance, Water/Wastewater Maintenance, and formerly the Electric Utility Department. Additionally, the location was increasingly incompatible with Ukiah Municipal Airport operations as the Airport seeks to attract new tenants and services, and integrate the Airport with the commercial uses located along Airport Park Boulevard.

After evaluating alternative sites for a new Corporation Yard, including new construction opportunities which initial estimates showed to be cost-prohibitive, the City identified the purchase of 1 Carousel Lane as the most viable option for replacement of its existing Municipal Corporation Yard. In May 2025, the City acquired 1 Carousel Lane (APN 167-280-15), to serve as the new Municipal Corporation Yard, which functions as the central operations and maintenance hub for the City's Department of Public Works and related public utilities.

The acquisition advances the City’s plan to modernize infrastructure and improve service delivery and efficiency in coordination with regional partners, including water and sanitation providers.

Although the property at 1 Carousel Lane is located outside city limits, it lies within the Ukiah Valley Water Authority (UVWA) service area, a Joint Powers Authority that includes the City of Ukiah, Millview County Water District, Redwood Valley County Water District, Calpella County Water District, and Willow County Water District. This regional joint-powers approach is intended to improve coordination, modernize water infrastructure, and enhance long-term water reliability. The City is able to annex non-contiguous territory as a “City-owned island” under Government Code § 56742, as this property is within the City's previously adopted Sphere of Influence (2022).

Per the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) performed by EBA Engineering (EBA), the property is described as such:

The project site contains a single commercial structure that is approximately 98,000 square feet in size and generally segregated into three units, herein described as Suites 1A, 1B, and 1C. The structure was reportedly built in three phases over several decades starting in 1969. The structure consists of a steel framed building with steel siding and roof and there is no wall separating Suites A and 1B. A concrete slab on grade floor extends throughout the structure. Most of the structure is open warehouse…Areas of the subject property not covered with the site buildings consist primarily of asphalt surfaces used for employee and customer parking and [Distribution Center] shipping and receiving trucks. A fenced gravel parking area is present on the eastern side of the subject property that is used for parking trucks by the [Distribution Center].

As required by the applicable Government Code provisions, the parcel is under 300 acres, lies in the same county as the City, is owned by the City, and is to be used for municipal purposes, i.e. as the Corporation Yard. Because the site meets all statutory criteria, the Mendocino Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) may approve annexation notwithstanding non-contiguity; Staff also acknowledges the limitations in Government Code § 56742(c) regarding subsequent non-contiguous annexations of property not owned or used by the City.

Following the Planning Commission’s approval of the draft Resolution supporting the prezoning of the parcel to Public Facilities at its October 8, 2025, meeting (Attachment 1), Staff prepared the approved materials for City Council consideration, including the Prezoning Ordinance (Attachment 2) and Resolution of Application (Attachment 3), as well as an updated CEQA Notice of Exemption (Attachment 4). Included in the Resolution of Application is the City's required Plan for Service, in accordance with California Government Code § 56653.

Discussion: Project Description: This request is a City-initiated prezoning to assign a City zoning classification to land that is outside City limits, with the classification becoming effective on the date of annexation. California Government Code § 65859 authorizes a city to prezone unincorporated territory by ordinance after public notice and hearing. The Planning Commission holds a hearing and makes a recommendation, and the City Council then adopts the prezoning ordinance. Government Code § 56742 directs LAFCo to consider the adopted prezoning when acting on an annexation.

Prezoning does not annex the property, does not authorize new development, and does not grant entitlements. It sets the zoning that will automatically apply to the property once LAFCo records the Certificate of Completion and recognizes the annexation. For 1 Carousel Lane, the City will prezone the parcel to Public Facilities (PF) and apply the General Plan Public (P) designation for consistency. Included in Attachment 5 are the official prezoning and land use designation maps, along with their associated regulations. Processing of the application is conducted under Government Code §§ 56742 and 65859 and the procedures and district standards in the Ukiah City Code, particularly Section 9267.

Site Description: The subject property is in unincorporated Mendocino County, north of the City of Ukiah limits, in an area with a mix of commercial, residential, and industrial uses. It consists of one (1) industrially developed parcel of about 7.9 acres with access from Carousel Lane, a private road. As indicated in the maps within Attachment 5, the site was originally developed in the late 1970s. Topography is generally flat, with an average elevation of about 628 feet above mean sea level. The property is bordered by York Creek to the north, the Russian River to the east, North State Street to the west, and Carousel Lane and adjacent commercial uses to the south. The site address is 1 Carousel Lane, Ukiah, California, APN 167-280-15. The parcel is developed with an approximately 98,000-square foot warehouse configured as three suites. Suites 1A and 1B are planned for City use as the Municipal Corporation Yard, including fleet and equipment maintenance, parts and materials storage, water and wastewater maintenance shops, staging, and administrative support. Suite 1C is utilized as a commercial warehouse-distribution center that conducts indoor package handling with truck loading and unloading via Carousel Lane. Operations are predominantly indoors with typical receiving and shipping and limited outdoor staging. No heavy manufacturing or high nuisance processes are present or proposed.

The subject property is indicated to have been developed as a commercial property with construction of the initial phase of the site building by Carousel Carpet Mill in 1969 which operated at the site until 2010. The building subsequently underwent two expansions in 1981 and 1989 and has been occupied by several commercial tenants to the present day. While initially developed with a septic system, the site is now connected to the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District (UVSD).

Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: The surrounding area is primarily light industrial and commercial, but features a variety of nearby residential uses as well. Common activities nearby include warehousing and logistics, wholesale and distribution, contractor supply and small contractor yards, equipment service and rental, and small fabrication or repair shops typical of the County Limited Industrial (I1) district. Industrial traffic primarily uses North State Street, which provides efficient access to U.S. 101. Buildings are generally single story with paved yards and designated loading areas. Outdoor storage, where it occurs in proximity, is limited and typically tied to distribution or contractor operations.

Staff Analysis: Prezoning assigns a City zoning classification to unincorporated land, and City standards will automatically apply if and when annexation occurs. For this site, the Public Facilities (PF) zoning district is paired with the General Plan Public (P) designation to match its municipal function.

A Municipal Corporation Yard is a public facility use that fits the Public (P) designation in the 2040 General Plan. The PF district implements that designation by allowing corporation yards and related maintenance, storage, and administrative activities. The existing warehouse layout and circulation are suitable for these functions. The FedEx operation in Suite 1C may continue within or alongside the PF district, subject to PF regulations and any applicable conditional use or nonconforming provisions. This prezoning and the anticipated annexation do not add floor area, authorize new uses, or change occupancy from current conditions as it pertains to Suite 1C and related operations. Any private commercial activity operating within Suite 1C shall be required to comply with all applicable City regulations and established business standards.

Improvements to the parcel will be limited to essential facility adjustments, including life-safety and ADA upgrades, compliance with materials storage requirements, security and lighting enhancements, and interior build-outs necessary to accommodate municipal operations. These modifications do not represent a substantive intensification or alteration of land use but rather ensure the facility’s safe and effective operation as a public facility.

Although open space and agricultural lands occur in the general vicinity of the subject parcel, physical buffers such as North State Street, U.S. 101, York Creek and the Russian River corridor separate the site from potential agricultural operations. The nearest designated agricultural lands are located approximately 1,400 feet west of the project site, across U.S. 101, and are currently under a Type 1 Williamson Act contract. The subject parcel itself is not subject to Williamson Act restrictions.

Boundary Considerations: The parcel lies within the City’s LAFCo-adopted Sphere of Influence, and annexation will promote logical and efficient service delivery. Consolidating yard functions at this location supports Ukiah Valley Water Authority operations and furthers objectives to maintain and increase water system reliability across the region. Direct access to North State Street and nearby U.S. 101 on-rams supports safe and efficient regional service response and inter-agency coordination among UVWA members. The proposal follows the City’s 2023 annexation of City-owned land used for public services beyond existing city limits, thereby continuing a clear precedent of incorporating municipal facilities into city limits when serving a public purpose.

Taxes & Assessments: The property is City-owned and therefore exempt from ad valorem property tax once incorporated, similar to other municipal facilities and past applications. Commercial or joint-use operations remain subject to possessory interest tax that will be addressed as a separate tax share agreement with the County of Mendocino. On June 19, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-32, approving participation in the Mendocino County Master Tax Sharing Agreement (MTSA). The MTSA does not preclude one or more of the associated Mendocino County incorporated cities from entering into separate agreements regarding particular Annexations; provided, however, that nothing in any separate agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of those Parties not party to that separate agreement. Given the municipal function of this parcel and the limited number of parcels identified for this annexation, the City will request a separate tax share agreement to more appropriately evaluate the site-specific considerations of this request, and the applicability of the previously adopted MTSA to a single parcel.

CEQA: Staff has reviewed the project and determined that it is exempt from CEQA under Guidelines § 15319, Class 19(a). The parcel is approximately 7.87 acres and is already developed with about 98,000 square feet of commercial and industrial floor area, including City municipal corporation yard functions and space leased to private tenants. The site is already served by public utilities, and no extension or expansion of service capacity is proposed. The prezoning is consistent with the City’s General Plan and authorized pursuant to Government Code §§ 56742 and 65859 to ensure that City zoning applies upon annexation. Because the action is procedural and does not trigger physical changes, no environmental impacts will result, and the project qualifies for the Class 19(a) exemption.

Staff recommends Council introduce by title only an Ordinance prezoning 1 Carousel Lane (APN 167-280-15) to Public Facilities (PF) Zoning District and adopt a Resolution of Application to Mendocino LAFCo to submit the 'City of Ukiah - Corporation Yard Annexation' application.

Recommended Action: Introduce by title only an Ordinance prezoning 1 Carousel Lane (APN 167-280-15) to Public Facilities (PF) Zoning District and adopt a Resolution of Application to Mendocino LAFCo to submit the 'City of Ukiah - Corporation Yard Annexation' application.

WHEREAS, the City, acting as Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act, has determined that the prezoning and related annexation of the subject property are categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15319, Class 19(a), because the property is already developed with existing facilities and the action does not authorize new construction, change in occupancy, or intensification of use; and WHEREAS, on October 8, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed prezoning, considered the staff report and all public testimony, and closed the public hearing.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Ukiah as follows:

Section 1. CEQA. The Planning Commission finds that the prezoning is exempt from CEQA under Guidelines Section 15319, Class 19(a) for annexations of existing facilities and lots for exempt facilities. The Commission recommends that the City Council adopt this finding and direct filing of a Notice of Exemption.

Section 2. Recommendation on Prezoning. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance prezoning 1 Carousel Lane (APN 167-280-15) to Public Facilities (PF) and applying the General Plan Public (P) land use designation, to take effect upon annexation in accordance with Government Code Section 65859.

Section 3. LAFCo Transmittal. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council direct staff to transmit the adopted prezoning to Mendocino LAFCo pursuant to Government Code Section 56742 and to advance annexation processing for the subject property, including coordination with the County on a separate tax-sharing agreement as appropriate.

Section 4. Findings. Based on the entire record, the Planning Commission finds and determines that:

D
A The prezoning is consistent with Government Code Section 65859 and Ukiah Municipal Code D Section 9267. Processed per UMC §9267 and Gov. Code §§65859, 56742. Public notice for both hearings was published and mailed to owners within 300 feet using the current County roll;

I
L

8. The prezoning is consistent with the City's 2040 General Plan and implements the Public (P) designation through the PF district, which accommodates Municipal Corporation Yard functions and related public facility uses. The action aligns zoning with the site's existing use and ownership and does not depend on annexation to validate current operations.

C. The prezoning will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare. It aligns zoning with existing municipal ownership and operations and does not authorize new development or intensify use.

D. The action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Guidelines Section 15319, Class 19(a}, because the site is fully developed and no physical changes or expansion of service capacity are proposed.

 Statutory Exemption Section
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 56742 and 65859, and Ukiah Municipal Code Section 9267, the City of Ukiah (Applicant and Property Owner) proposes to prezone one unincorporated parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number 167-280-15), addressed as 1 Carousel Lane, to the Public Facilities (PF) zoning district in accordance with Ukiah Municipal Code Chapter 2, Zoning, Article 15 (Public Facilities District). The parcel would also receive a Public (P) land use designation consistent with the City’s 2040 General Plan. The prezoning action is a procedural step intended to facilitate the future annexation of the subject property into the City of Ukiah. The property currently lies within the unincorporated area of Mendocino County.

REASONS WHY PROJECT IS EXEMPT: The City of Ukiah, acting as Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15319, Class 19(a) – Annexations of Existing Facilities and Lots for TO: X Office of Planning and Research

The exemption applies because the subject property, a 7.87±-acre parcel, is fully developed with approximately 98,000 square feet of existing commercial and industrial floor area, including the City’s municipal corporation yard and space leased to private tenants. The proposed prezoning and annexation do not authorize any new construction, change in occupancy, or intensification of land use beyond existing conditions.

The site is already served by public utilities, and no extension or expansion of service capacity is proposed as part of this action. The prezoning is consistent with the City’s General Plan and is being pursued in accordance with Government Code Sections 56742 and 65859 to ensure that City land use policies and zoning regulations apply upon annexation. This action is procedural in nature and anticipatory of potential future changes, none of which are authorized or triggered by the current proposal. As no physical alterations or environmental impacts will result, the project clearly qualifies for exemption under Class 19(a).

WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah (“City”) desires to initiate proceedings pursuant to Part 3 of the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Government Code §56000 et seq.) for a change of organization consisting of the annexation of one (1) parcel located at 1 Carousel Lane (Assessor’s Parcel Number 167-280-15) to the City of Ukiah; and
WHEREAS, on October 15, 2025, a Notice of Intention to adopt this Resolution of Application was mailed to each affected agency as required by Government Code § 56654; and
WHEREAS, the proposed “City of Ukiah – Corporation Yard Annexation” is located in unincorporated Mendocino County, approximately 2.3 miles north of the Ukiah city limits, in an area with a mix of commercial and industrial uses; and WHEREAS, the subject territory consists of one (1) industrially developed parcel totaling approximately 7.9 acres with access from Carousel Lane, a private road; more particularly described and depicted in Exhibit “A” (Draft Legal Description and Boundary Map) attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; and WHEREAS, the subject territory contains zero registered voters and is therefore uninhabited pursuant to Government Code § 56046; and
WHEREAS, there is unanimous consent among affected landowners for the proposed annexation, including an existing deed restriction by which the former owner of the parcel, in 1988, consented to future annexation and agreed to petition for annexation to the City upon the City’s request; and
WHEREAS, on May 7, 2025, the City Council approved purchase of the subject property, with the sale closing on June 30, 2025; and
WHEREAS, the City has prezoned the subject property to the Public Facilities (PF) zoning district and has applied the Public (P) General Plan land use designation pursuant to Ukiah Municipal Code Chapter 2 (Zoning), Article 15, so that City land use policies and regulations will apply upon annexation, consistent with Government Code § 56375(a)(7).

Prezoning shall be adopted by ordinance prior to LAFCo consideration of this application; and WHEREAS, the purpose of the City of Ukiah – Corporation Yard Annexation is to bring the newly-acquired municipal corporation yard property into City jurisdiction to allow for efficient provision of municipal services, improve opportunities for grant funding, ensure consistency with the City’s risk management policies, and facilitate the relocation of City ATTACHMENT 3

WHEREAS, anticipated construction and maintenance work is limited to interior improvements subject to standard building permits that do not expand building area, occupancy, or utility capacity and therefore do not trigger construction-related environmental effects beyond typical, short-duration interior work or site improvements and maintenance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds the proposed annexation is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15319(a) (Class 19 – Annexation of Existing Facilities and Lots for Exempt Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, as the proposal involves annexation of an existing developed property for continued use as a municipal facility without expansion or intensification of use. A draft Notice of Exemption is attached as Exhibit “C”; and
WHEREAS, on June 19, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-32, approving participation in the Mendocino County Master Tax Sharing Agreement (MTSA).

The MTSA does not preclude one or more of the associated cities from entering separate agreements regarding particular Annexations; provided, however, that nothing in any separate agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of Cities not party to that separate agreement.; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered all oral and written testimony provided by interested agencies and members of the public prior to and during the noticed public hearing held on November 5, 2025, for adoption of this Resolution of Application; and

3 WHEREAS, because the territory is uninhabited and the sole affected landowner has consented to the annexation, the City requests that LAFCo order the annexation without an election and waive protest proceedings to the fullest extent authorized by Government Code §§ 56662 and 56663.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ukiah that this Resolution of Application is hereby adopted and approved. The Mendocino Local Agency Formation Commission is requested to take proceedings for the City of Ukiah – Corporation Yard Annexation in accordance with the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 and the terms and conditions stated herein.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the City Manager, or designee, on behalf of the City of Ukiah, is authorized and directed to file this Resolution of Application, together with all necessary maps, legal descriptions, environmental documentation, tax exchange documentation, and supporting materials, with Mendocino LAFCo, and to take all further actions necessary to effectuate the filing and processing of this annexation request.

1. When a local agency submits a resolution of application for a change of organization, it must also provide a plan for delivering services to the affected territory. LAFCO must review this plan and evaluate the City's ability to maintain existing service levels.

2. The plan must include the following elements, as well as any additional information required by the commission or executive officer:
• A list and description of services to be provided to the area. • The expected level and scope of those services.
• A timeline for when services can be feasibly provided. • Any upgrades or improvements to infrastructure or facilities required by the City.
• A summary of how the services will be financed.

EXISTING SITE
Per the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) performed by EBA Engineering (EBA) for 1 Carousel Lane, Ukiah, CA 95482 | APN 167-280-15, the property is described as such:

The project site contains a single commercial structure that is approximately 98,000 square feet in size and generally segregated into three units, herein described as Suites 1A, 1B, and 1C. The structure was reportedly built in three phases over several decades starting in 1969. The structure consists of a steel framed building with steel siding and roof and there is no wall separating Suites A

EXHIBIT B

and 1B. A concrete slab on grade floor extends throughout the structure. Most of the structure is open warehouse…Areas of the subject property not covered with the site buildings consist primarily of asphalt surfaces used for employee and customer parking and [Distribution Center] shipping and receiving trucks.

A fenced gravel parking area is present on the eastern side of the subject property that is used for parking trucks by the [Distribution Center].

the site’s operation as a
corporation yard, no material
increase in service demand is
expected, as the operational
intensity is generally consistent
with that of existing businesses in
the area.

TIMELINE AND EXISTING SERVICES
On a limited basis, the City of Ukiah intends to begin using the property immediately upon annexation for municipal staging, vehicle parking, equipment storage, and other routine City and UVWA functions. Initial improvements are minimal and will focus primarily on accessibility upgrades, metering, and interior improvements necessary to support safe and compliant operations. These activities are not expected to alter existing site conditions, disrupt adjacent land uses, or require major construction. Limited development of the facility can occur simultaneously with ongoing operations, allowing the City to establish an interim operational presence while completing facility upgrades within existing building and operational yard footprints.

SERVICE STANDARDS AND OPERATIONS
• Hours and Staffing: Standard municipal hours (6:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.). No substantial increase in permanent staffing is anticipated given past uses of the property and staff already based at the existing Corporation Yard. There will be no public facing component to the facility.
• Facility Operations: Routine City and UVWA operations, repair, equipment storage, and maintenance activities.
• Security: Existing industrial security measures in place. Hazardous materials storage and handling remain permitted and compliant with all City, County, and State regulations.
• Maintenance: Facility and yard upkeep funded through departmental operating budgets and internal service funds.

INFRASTRUCTURE & SITE STATUS
The subject property appears to have been undeveloped open grasslands as late as 1941.

This is evidenced by an aerial photograph from that year. The subject property is indicated to have been developed as a commercial property with construction of the initial phase of the site building by Carousel Carpet Mill in 1969 which operated at the site until 2010. The building subsequently underwent two expansions in 1981 and 1989 and has been occupied by several commercial tenants to the present day. While initially developed with a septic system, the site is now connected to the UVSD.

The site is currently occupied by an agricultural sales and service company, which the City will replace, and a shipping distribution center, which will remain under City jurisdiction.

The property's use is well documented through County permits, with no major gaps in the record.

FISCAL EFFECTS & IMPACTS
Operating costs for the Corporation Yard and Water Authority activities will be funded through existing City budgets, departmental funds, and the UVWA, consistent with the City’s adopted cost allocation plan as part of the JPA. Operating costs will also be offset

by the closure of the existing Corporation Yard facility at 1320 Airport Rd. and transfer of services to 1 Carousel Lane. Further considerations are detailed below:

Land Acquisition, Capital and Tenant/Municipal Improvements: Financed through a combination of City bond proceeds, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds, and competitive grants, the property was acquired by the City of Ukiah for $7.6 million. The City has allocated up to $3 million for municipal improvements to City the Corporation Yard as part of the bond proceeds.
• Taxes and Assessments:
o The property is City-owned and therefore exempt from ad valorem property tax. Commercial or joint-use operations remain subject to possessory interest tax that will be addressed as a separate tax share agreement with the County of Mendocino.
o On June 19, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-32, approving participation in the Mendocino County Master Tax Sharing Agreement (MTSA). The MTSA does not preclude one or more of the associated cities from entering separate agreements regarding particular Annexations; provided, however, that nothing in any separate agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of those Parties not party to that separate agreement.
o Given the municipal function of this parcel and the limited number of parcels identified for this annexation, the City will request a separate tax share agreement to more appropriately evaluate the site-specific considerations of this request, and the applicability of the previously adopted MTSA to a single parcel.
• Permits and Fees: Building and encroachment permits will be processed internally; related costs are budgeted within the project. Existing permits and records will be transferred to the City of Ukiah and integrated into the City’s permit system. • Utility Rates: Water and sewer services funded by user fees per Proposition 218 cover the cost associated with operation and maintenance of the facility. If necessary, future rate changes will follow statutory noticing and hearing procedures.
• No new municipal taxes or special assessments are proposed as part of this annexation to cover the cost of acquisition, relocation or upgrades to the facility.

LAND USE CONSISTENCY
The City intends to prezone the property to Public Facilities (PF) with a Public (P) General Plan land use designation to take effect upon annexation pursuant to Government Code

§65859. The project site consists of a large commercial building of approximately 98,000 square feet, divided into three main suites. As described by the Phase 1 Evaluation, the structure functions primarily as a warehouse facility with supporting office and utility spaces. The western portions are used for office operations, employee amenities, package storage, and limited light industrial activity such as packaging and distribution.

The eastern portion operates as a distribution hub, where goods are transferred directly between transport vehicles with minimal long-term storage. The surrounding development along Carousel Lane appears to follow a similar industrial and commercial pattern, characterized by storage, distribution, and light manufacturing uses.

The existing site operations and surrounding development are compatible with a municipal corporation yard, both in function and intensity of use, as they share similar industrial and logistical characteristics and are unlikely to create land use conflicts.

Current (County of Mendocino):
• Zoning: Limited Industrial (I-1) (Mendocino County Code Ch. 20.09 • Existing Limited Industrial Land Uses: “Wholesaling, Storage and Distribution— Light”; “Agricultural Sales and Services”” Minor Impact Utilities” Proposed (City of Ukiah):
• Zoning: Public Facilities (PF) (Ukiah Municipal Code, Ch. 2, Art. 15) • General Plan: Public (P) (Ukiah 2040 General Plan)
• Proposed Public Facility Land Uses: “Corporation yards”; “Quasi-public land uses”’; “Light manufacturing and industrial uses”

CONCLUSION
While the proposed annexation of 1 Carousel Lane would create an incorporated island, it represents a logical and cost-effective location for extending the City of Ukiah’s municipal service responsibilities within the Ukiah Valley, particularly regarding water and wastewater service delivery through the Ukiah Valley Water Authority (UVWA) and on behalf of the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District. The property will serve as a municipal corporation yard and water authority facility within an existing industrial warehouse complex surrounded by compatible uses, requiring only limited improvements that can be completed concurrently with ongoing operations. All essential municipal and utility services are already available to the site, and no new infrastructure extensions, staffing increases, or public-facing functions are anticipated. The annexation is consistent with the City’s General Plan, prezoning actions, and adopted Capital Improvement Program identifying the relocation of the Corporation Yard to a new facility, and it will improve operational efficiency by consolidating municipal and water maintenance activities within a modernized, centrally located facility.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 56742 and 65859, and Ukiah Municipal Code Section 9267, the City of Ukiah (Applicant and Property Owner) proposes to prezone one unincorporated parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number 167-280-15), addressed as 1 Carousel Lane, to the Public Facilities (PF) zoning district in accordance with Ukiah Municipal Code Chapter 2, Zoning, Article 15 (Public Facilities District). The parcel would also receive a Public (P) land use designation consistent with the City’s 2040 General Plan. The prezoning action is a procedural step intended to facilitate the future annexation of the subject property into the City of Ukiah. The property currently lies within the unincorporated area of Mendocino County.

REASONS WHY PROJECT IS EXEMPT: The City of Ukiah, acting as Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has determined that the project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15319, Class 19(a) – Annexations of Existing Facilities and Lots for TO: X Office of Planning and Research

The exemption applies because the subject property, a 7.87±-acre parcel, is fully developed with approximately 98,000 square feet of existing commercial and industrial floor area, including the City’s municipal corporation yard and space leased to private tenants. The proposed prezoning and annexation do not authorize any new construction, change in occupancy, or intensification of land use beyond existing conditions.

The site is already served by public utilities, and no extension or expansion of service capacity is proposed as part of this action. The prezoning is consistent with the City’s General Plan and is being pursued in accordance with Government Code Sections 56742 and 65859 to ensure that City land use policies and zoning regulations apply upon annexation. This action is procedural in nature and anticipatory of potential future changes, none of which are authorized or triggered by the current proposal. As no physical alterations or environmental impacts will result, the project clearly qualifies for exemption under Class 19(a).

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of Disbursement of up to $300,000 in Opioid Settlement Funds for the Expansion of the Ford Street Project; Authorization for the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute Agreement for Said Distribution with the Ford Street Project; and Approval of Corresponding Budget Amendment.

1. 2023-10-04 Staff Report

2. Ford Street Agreement_draft
Summary: This report provides an update on the City’s opioid settlement funds, with a current fund balance of $383,430.28. Staff recommends the Council approve up to $300,000 to support the expansion of Ford Street's local substance use treatment facility, including construction, security, furnishings, food service equipment, and a passenger van—expenditures that qualify under the settlement agreements.

Background: The City of Ukiah is participating in the distribution agreements for multiple opioid settlement awards. In 2023, the City Council directed Staff to "allocate the entire amount of the opioid settlement funds, without deduction for administration costs, toward the development and enhancement of substance abuse treatment facilities within the city limits and authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate potential allocations per this policy objective for Council's consideration." (Attachment 1) The Ford Street Project's Ukiah Recovery Center (URC) has been providing State-licensed residential treatment for 28 years. With substantial funding provided by Northern Circle Indian Housing Authority, the URC is undergoing a major expansion:
• The number of residential treatment beds will increase from 40 to 64 • The additional group rooms make up to 60 additional outpatient treatment slots available • A 24-bed sober living dormitory provides a safe housing option for single clients "new to recovery" • Ford Street operates a 10-unit family emergency shelter, and for unhoused clients with children in residential treatment, they offer housing care management and coordination with child welfare for visitation.

Discussion: Application of opioid settlement funds to the expansion of a substance use treatment facility is an eligible use. Ford Street's major expansion includes new construction, security fencing, new furniture and fixtures, new food service equipment, a new passenger van, and more. Therefore, Staff recommends the Council approve the disbursement of up to $300,000 in opioid settlement funds, currently held by the City of Ukiah, for this important community project. As of October 30th, 2025, the fund balance of settlement funds with the City was $383,430.28.

Under the terms of the national and state settlement agreements, opioid remediation funds may be used only for specific purposes such as expanding substance use disorder treatment facilities, building or improving

treatment infrastructure, supporting recovery services, investing in prevention and education programs, developing diversion programs from the criminal justice system, and ensuring access to care for vulnerable populations. Eligible expenditures also include equipment and vehicles when they directly support these objectives. Accordingly, the proposed investments in security, furnishings, food service, and a passenger van are all consistent with the allowable uses, as they directly contribute to the successful operation of an expanded treatment facility. The expansion of the Ford Street Project is subject to covenant restrictions associated with other grant funding sources; however, the City will also require an agreement with the project acknowledging receipt of the funds and that they will be used in accordance with the terms, covenants, and conditions set forth by the Opioid Litigation settlements. That draft agreement is provided as Attachment 2; Staff requests Council's authorization for the City Manager to negotiate and execute that agreement for the disbursement of funds.

To maximize impact, no administrative costs will be deducted from the settlement allocation; all such costs will be absorbed by the City’s General Fund. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to negotiate potential allocations within this framework for Council consideration will also enable timely, efficient, and responsive deployment of funds in partnership with community stakeholders, while maintaining full compliance with the settlement agreements.

Staff requests Council approve the disbursement of up to $300,000 in opioid settlement funds for the expansion of the Ford Street Project; authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute agreement for said distribution with the Ford Street Project; and approve the corresponding budget amendment.

Recommended Action: Approve the disbursement of up to $300,000 in opioid settlement funds for the expansion of the Ford Street Project; authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute agreement for said distribution with the Ford Street Project; and approve the corresponding budget amendment.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Direction Regarding Distribution of Opioid Settlement Funds Allocated to the City of Ukiah.

DEPARTMENT: City Manager /
Admin PREPARED BY: Shannon Riley, Deputy City Manager
PRESENTER: Shannon Riley, Deputy City Manager
ATTACHMENTS:

None
Summary: The City Council is asked to provide direction regarding the deployment of the City of Ukiah's allocation of opioid settlement funds.

Background: In accordance with the state Allocation Agreements, the City of Ukiah has the potential to receive up to $488,000 in opioid settlement funds over the course of 18 years. These funds are earmarked for specific purposes related to opioid remediation, including but not limited to substance abuse disorder facilities, SUD treatment infrastructure, support for communities of color and vulnerable populations, diversion programs from the justice system, and interventions to prevent drug addiction among vulnerable youth.

Discussion: The opioid crisis has had a significant and devastating impact on the Ukiah community. Given the limited amount of funding allocated to the City and the urgency of addressing the opioid crisis, Staff recommends that the City Council allocates the entire amount of the settlement funds, without deduction for administration costs, toward the development and enhancement of substance abuse treatment facilities within the city limits. The City's General Fund will fund the cost of all administrative and internal services related to the use of settlement funds. This approach aligns directly with the intent of the Allocation Agreements and will have a more sustainable, immediate and direct impact on addressing the opioid crisis in our community. Allocating the settlement funds exclusively to substance abuse treatment infrastructure aligns with the overarching goal of addressing the opioid epidemic and supporting those most affected. By not deducting administration costs, the City can maximize the impact of these funds and ensure that they are directed toward the front lines of the opioid crisis.

To streamline the allocation process and ensure timely implementation of initiatives, Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate potential allocations per this policy objective for Council's consideration. This will facilitate a more efficient use of the funds and enable quicker responses to emerging needs in the community. Further, it will expedite the implementation of projects, foster innovation, and allow for a more agile response to evolving community needs.

Recommended Action: Allocate the entire amount of the opioid settlement funds, without deduction for administration costs, toward the development and enhancement of substance abuse treatment facilities within the city limits and authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate potential allocations per this policy objective for Council's consideration.

Discussion: To ensure compliance with applicable law, Staff recommends the City Council reaffirm that the local emergency remains in effect because the conditions caused by the storm events that necessitated a declaration of a local emergency are still present and must be mitigated.

Therefore, Staff recommends Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 3) affirming that the local emergency remains in effect.

Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution affirming that the declaration of a local emergency remains in effect.

2. Water Utilities & Mechanics Unit Salary Schedule - Year 1

3. Resolution Successor MOU 2025-2028

4. Budget Adjustment 2
Summary: Council will consider adopting a Resolution approving the Memoranda of Understanding between the City of Ukiah and Operating Engineers Local 3 — Water Utilities and Mechanics Unit, and Administrative and Maintenance Unit (if ratified), Effective September 19, 2025, through September 18, 2028, and Corresponding Salary Schedule(s); and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Agreement(s) and Amend the Budget Accordingly.

Background: The Myers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) establishes the rights and obligations of California local agencies in matters of labor relations. Under the MMBA, the City Manager, serving as the City’s chief negotiator, receives authority from the City Council on matters within the scope of representation and proceeds to meet and confer with recognized employee organizations.

The most recent Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between the City and its bargaining units expired on September 18, 2025. Pursuant to the Council’s direction, the City’s labor relations representatives — primarily the City Manager and the Human Resources/Risk Management Director — engaged in meet-and-confer sessions with all bargaining units. Four successor MOUs were approved by the City Council at a Special Meeting held on October 6, 2025. As of the drafting of this report, the Water Utilities and Mechanics unit has reached a tentative agreement that has been ratified by its membership.

Discussion: City representatives have met and conferred in good faith with all recognized bargaining units in accordance with the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. Tentative successor agreements have been reached with Operation Engineers Local 3, Water Utilities and Mechanics Unit and Administrative and Maintenance Unit. The Water Utilities and Mechanics Unit has ratified the proposed agreement, and Staff now seeks City Council approval. The successor MOU is included for reference as Attachment 1.

The tentative agreement provides for a three-year term covering September 19, 2025, through September 18, 2028. Key provisions common across the other units include the addition of Juneteenth as a recognized paid holiday and the addition of new top salary steps in each year of the agreement, with amounts tied to both internal equity adjustments and an economic benchmark based on secured property tax, sales tax, and

transient occupancy tax revenues. These phased adjustments are intended to support recruitment and retention while maintaining fiscal responsibility.

Unit-Specific Provisions include the following:
• Update/clean-up of overtime provisions to reflect current City pay practices. • Revision of boot allowance provision to permit use of funds for boot maintenance expenses (e.g., resoling, weatherproofing, insoles).
• Update vacation cash out provision for consistency across bargaining units. • Increase to compensatory time off maximum accrual balance provision for consistency across bargaining units.
• Update standby pay provision for consistency across bargaining units. • Update/clean-up of special compensation incentives for consistency across bargain units and compliance with CalPERS regulations.
• Increase probationary period for newly hired employees from six (6) months to twelve (12) months.

The salary table reflecting the Year 1-step additions is included for Council review and adoption in Attachment

2. Salary tables for Years 2 and 3 will be prepared and presented once the required revenue benchmarks are certified by the Finance Director, as outlined in the agreement.

Overall, the tentative agreement reflects a collaborative approach to balancing organizational needs, market competitiveness, and fiscal sustainability. Staff recommends Council adopt a Resolution (Attachment 3) approving the successor MOU and corresponding salary schedule, and authorize the City Manager to execute on behalf of the City.

The Administrative and Maintenance Unit has also signed a tentative agreement, which will be presented to its membership for ratification. If the unit ratifies the agreement prior to the date of this meeting, staff will provide a supplemental memo including the unit-specific provisions and the Year 1 salary schedule for Council consideration.

Financial Analysis and Budget Amendment
The financial impact of the proposed successor Memoranda of Understandings, excluding fire, but adding admin and maintenance, and water and mechanical groups, has been analyzed across all City funds with personnel appropriations. This tranche of additional cost for Year 1 is estimated at $106,006, which represents the second required budget amendment to the adopted Fiscal Year 2025–26 City budget. This cost is distributed among multiple funds, including the General Fund, enterprise funds, and various internal service and special revenue funds, with the General Fund (not including the Fire Authority in fund 105) bearing the largest share.

Based on current staffing levels and filled positions, the additional costs related to these agreements are projected to grow modestly in Years 2 and 3 to $120,672 and $122,411, respectively. These amounts have been incorporated into the City’s long-term financial forecast to ensure fiscal sustainability. Funding will be provided from current revenues within each affected fund, with no reliance on one-time resources.

Specific fund allocation of these costs to include all labor groups with the exception of Fire are detailed as follows. A reconciliation illustrating what has already been approved by Council and what cost this additional approval incurs follows.

These costs are for the maximum amount offered under the MOUs. The amounts will be less if the benchmarks in either years 2 or 3 are not met and the steps are reduced to the lower percentage values.

Attachment 4 provides the detailed allocation of costs by specific account code and serves as the reference for the City's Budget and Accounting Division to amend the appropriate accounts in the budget.

Staff recommends Council adopt a Resolution approving the successor Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Ukiah and Operation Engineers Local 3 - Water Utilites and Mechanics Unit, effective September 19, 2025, through September 18, 2028, and corresponding salary schedules; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.

Recommended Action: Adopt a Resolution approving the successor Memoranda of Understanding between the City of Ukiah and Operating Engineers Local 3 — Water Utilities and Mechanics Unit, and Administrative and Maintenance Unit (if ratified), Effective September 19, 2025, through September 18, 2028, and Corresponding Salary Schedule(s); and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Agreement(s) and Amend the Budget Accordingly.

ITEM NO: 2025-1207

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).

DEPARTMENT: City Clerk PREPARED BY: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk PRESENTER: Mayor Crane and Various Councilmembers
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).

2025 AD HOC COMMITTEES
*Note: Changing the composition of an existing ad‐hoc among current councilmembers after work has begun presents potential Brown Act issues. Requests for fully filled ad‐hocs are represented on the draft, but staff does not recommend changes except to fill vacated assignments. The current requests on the sheet for fully composed ad‐hocs are primarily intended to convey interest in topics covered by these ad‐hoc committees for possible future consideration of new assignments.
