Please describe and include relevant links that demonstrate the action was completed:
In adopting its newly updated 2019-2027 Housing Element, the City of Ukiah adopted the implementation of programs that will and are currently modifying land use policies or development standards to facilitate housing choices and affordability in highest or high resource opportunity areas.
Three of the implementing objectives included the following:
• Update C1 and C2 Zones to allow by-right housing development, with objective design and development standards. Units allowed by-right will include multifamily, SROs, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. • Update the C-N Zone to increase residential density and allow similar housing types as those allowed in R-2. • By-right housing program for select parcels. Specific to APNs 00304077, 00304078, and 00304079, rezone these parcels at the default density of 15 du/ac. Also rezone these parcels to allow residential use by-right for developments with at least 20% of the units affordable to lower income households.”
Towards these implementation objectives, the City has accomplished the following:
• Complete objective design and development standards. The Ukiah City Council approved the standards on November 20, 2020. • By-right housing program for select parcels. On March 17, 2021, the Ukiah City Council adopted an ordinance adopting the City’s first Housing Overlay Zone for the three parcels mentioned above. This is expected to lead to the construction of an affordable housing project at that location.
The following are in progress with expected introduction for adoption by City Council in June 2021:
• Update C1 and C2 Zones to allow by-right housing development. • Update the C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) Zone to increase residential density and allow similar housing types as those allowed in R-2 (medium density) residential.
An example of the impact the change to the C-N Zone will have in highest resource and high resource opportunity areas in Ukiah is attached below.

Project
April 2, 2021
We bet you’re wondering when this will be done! July-August is our best estimate right now, which—believe it or not—is right on schedule. Here’s what we anticipate the progression of work will look like over the next couple of months:
o Now through mid-April: Constructing new sidewalks on the east side of State Street. o Mid-April through mid-May: Constructing new sidewalks on the west side of State Street, working from Mill to Perkins. o Third week of May: Sidewalk construction on the south side of the 100 block of West Perkins Street. o End of May-beginning of June: Sidewalk construction on the north side of the 100 block of West Standley Street. o Beginning of June: Sidewalk construction on the south side of the 100 block of West Church Street. o Starting in May, installation of the new lighting will likely begin throughout the project area…then landscaping. o Last but not least, new paving and striping throughout the project! Construction Overview, Week of March 29
Wahlund Construction (West Clay Street):
• Monday-Friday: Sewer work will occur on West Clay Street between School and Oak Streets. This process can be noisy and a bit messy, and will include trenching and other underground work. • There will be intermittent street and/or lane closures at the intersections of Clay and Oak while manhole work is underway. School Street will remain open.
• Construction hours: 7am – 5pm
Ghilotti Construction (Henry – Mill): Continued work on the east side of State Street between Perkins and Mill Streets, including excavating, forming and pouring new curbs, gutters, and bioretention facilities. Pouring of new sidewalks continues next week.
Monday-Tuesday: Completion of new sidewalks and curb ramps and Perkins and State Streets.
Tuesday/Wednesday-Friday: Begin pouring new sidewalks at the SE corner of State and Clay, heading south toward Mill Street.
Monday-Friday: Also, crews will begin demolishing sidewalks on the west side of State, starting at Mill and heading north to Perkins. • East Stephensen Street may be closed to through traffic for the next week or so – Community Care and The Maple will have access to their parking lots from Main Street.
• East Church may be closed intermittently during this phase. • Construction hours: 7am – 5pm
North State Street between Perkins and Henry: In between their work on other parts of the project, contractors will continue working on North State Street on the decorative brick band and landscaping areas.

Streeterie: Eatery in the Street
As Spring approaches, we would like to bring back the Streeterie. This is the closure of School Street between Standley and Perkins Streets to allow for expanded outdoor dining. This is a safe and sanitized picnic area where the community can bring takeout food and beverages from our local restaurants. We are currently planning for April and May on Friday and Saturday evenings between 5:30p-7p and a Food Truck one Sunday a month planned for 4/25/21 and 5/23/21, and a youth band performing live music on the “First Friday” May 7th. This is a great opportunity for restaurants to be able to offer more meals than the capacity that they have on site and for retail businesses to stay open later (and one Sunday if they aren’t already open) and encourage more foot traffic (Covid safe restrictions in place of course). As the summer progresses hours and days can expand.
This is a volunteer partnership between Ukiah Valley Networking Agency, Ukiah Main Street Program, Greater Ukiah Business & Tourism Alliance, Love Local Mendo, City of Ukiah, Visit Mendocino and all the businesses that participate.
Frequently Asked Questions
As a restaurant, do I need to send servers over to the Streeterie? No, you offer your customers a to-go order for their food and drinks and let them know that there is an outdoor dining area on School Street weekend evenings.
What time are you closing the street and where will I park? Our plan is to close the street starting at 5pm and you/your customers can park anywhere else on School Street or in the parking district for free every weekend.
Why don’t you offer more hours?
We would love to, but we want to make sure that this run is a success and that it helps restaurants and retail businesses before we expand the hours.
How can we help?
You can get the word out that this is an option for outdoor dining, you can volunteer your time to set-up, sanitize, or clean up. Most importantly you can keep your doors open a little longer to create an atmosphere that Downtown Ukiah is OPEN for business!
There is an event posted on Facebook that you can share. www.Facebook.com/UkiahValleyNetworking Have more questions or want to make sure you are a listed participant? Call, email, text, carrier pigeon: Mo Mulheren, [email protected]; 707-391-3664; 104 N School Street Exhibit E

STATE OBJECTIVES – FAIR HOUSING
MAPPING AND DESCRIPTION
Description: the two maps below demonstrate the facilitation of housing choices and affordability in highest or high resource opportunity areas in Ukiah. Map #1 is a snapshot of the Highest Resource and High Resource opportunity areas in Ukiah.
Map #2 is a snapshot of these same areas shown from the perspective of the City’s zoning districts.
Areas shaded white denote the City’s single‐family residential (R‐1) zoning district, and areas shaded salmon/pink denote the City’s neighborhood commercial (C‐N) zoning district.
Within the C‐N zoning district, the City is in the process of adopting a by‐right housing overlay ordinance to make “by‐right” new housing construction projects meeting the density criteria for the medium density (R‐2) residential zoning district. This would eliminate the need for a discretionary permitting process for construction of new townhomes, multifamily residential apartments, and duplexes, and instead only require a building permit with the project meeting objective standards.

DISADVANTAGED UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES
INTRODUCTION
Senate Bill 244 (SB 244) requires cities to identify and describe disadvantaged unincorporated communities (DUCs) inside or near its boundaries. The purpose of this legislation is to begin to address the lack of access to basic community infrastructure, such as sidewalks, clean drinking water, and adequate waste processing in unincorporated communities. This lack of investment threatens health and safety, and results in further economic, social, and educational inequality.
SB 244 requires cities and counties to include DUCs in long-range planning to produce a more efficient delivery system of services and infrastructure. One of the core aims of SB 244 is to address the complex legal, financial, and political barriers that contribute to regional inequity and infrastructure deficiencies.
This paper is organized into the following sections:
Introduction ........................................................................................................... 1 DUC Identification Methodology ........................................................................... 4 Communities Identified ......................................................................................... 7 Infrastructure Deficiency Analysis ....................................................................... 10 Key Terms .......................................................................................................... 33 References ......................................................................................................... 34 Exhibit E

1995 General Pla n
Based on the requirements of SB 244, this analysis includes an assessment of infrastructure, covering water, wastewater, storm drainage, and structural fire protection facilities and services; infrastructure needs or deficiencies for each of the identified DUCs; and potential funding mechanisms that could resolve any identified infrastructure deficiencies. SB 244 defines a DUC as a fringe, island, or legacy community that meets the following criteria:
Contains 10 or more dwelling units in close proximity to one another; Is either within a city sphere of influence (SOI), is an island within a city boundary, or is geographically isolated and has existed for more than 50 years; and Has a median household income that is 80 percent or less than the statewide median household income (MHI).
SB 244 distinguishes three types of DUCs based on the following definitions:
“Island community” means any inhabited and unincorporated territory that is surrounded or substantially surrounded by one or more cities or by one or more cities and a county boundary or the Pacific Ocean.
“Fringe community” means any inhabited and unincorporated territory that is within a city’s sphere of influence.
“Legacy community” means a geographically isolated community that is inhabited and has existed for at least 50 years.
As demonstrated in the following sections, all of the DUCs identified in this analysis match the definition of a fringe community.

1995 General Plan
Table 1 summarizes the findings from this DUC analysis, which is described in depth in the following sections. As shown in the table, there are no infrastructure deficiencies for water, wastewater, or stormwater drainage in Ukiah DUCs. However, based on information from the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA), the identified DUCs have structural fire protection deficiencies due to the water infrastructure for fire connection in these areas: the majority of the fire connections in the identified DUCs are standpipes or wharf hydrants, which do not produce the normal fire flows of a standard hydrant.

DUC IDENTIFICATION METHODOLOGY
While SB 244 describes the general characteristics of DUCs, it does not provide specific guidance on how to identify them. To assist local governments in addressing the requirements of SB 244, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) published a technical advisory memo in February 2013 titled: Senate Bill 244: Land Use, General Plans, and Disadvantaged Communities. The memo recommends data sources for identifying income status and mapping resources for identifying “communities” as defined by SB 244. Based on the guidance provided by OPR, the City identified DUCs in the Ukiah area by following the steps described below.
STEP 1. LOW-INCOME STATUS
First, the City identified unincorporated areas between the City limits and SOI that had a MHI that was 80 percent or less than the statewide MHI. This was done by looking at Census Block Groups (CBGs) and Census Designated Places (CDPs) that met the lowincome threshold using income data from the 2013-2017 American Community Survey (ACS). From 2013-2017, the statewide MHI was $67,169, which set the low-income threshold of 80 percent or less than the statewide average, was $53,735. Figure 1 shows the areas that had MHI at or below $53,735.

STEP 2. RESIDENTIAL PROXIMITY
Next, within the areas identified as having a MHI of $53,735 or less, the City identified groupings of dwelling units that were in close proximity to each other and that were also similar in form to the density of residential areas typically located in suburban and urban communities. This was done using satellite imagery from Google Earth to locate areas with more than 10 dwellings in close proximity to each other.
STEP 3. GROUND TRUTHING
After identifying potential DUCs based on the thresholds described in SB 244 and the most recent data available, the City reviewed the identified communities to confirm they matched the intent of the SB 244 analysis and that the digital data sources used match current realities. City staff concluded that the 11 DUCs identified through the above process were valid and appropriate as defined under State law.

COMMUNITIES IDENTIFIED
The DUCs that the City identified are “Fringe Communities,” as defined by SB 244. Table 2 lists the DUCs in the Ukiah SOI by size (in acres), the approximate number of dwelling units for each DUC, and the number of parcels in each community. Figure 2 shows the DUCs that are south of city limits, and Figure 3 shows the DUCs north of city limits.

INFRASTRUCTURE DEFICIENCY ANALYSIS
SB 244 requires an analysis of infrastructure services for each DUC. This section first provides an overview of service providers in the Ukiah SOI that provide infrastructure facilities or services in the DUCs. The subsequent section describes the services provided by each provider within each DUC consistent with the requirements of SB 244.
OVERVIEW OF SERVICE PROVIDERS WITHIN THE UKIAH SOI
SB 244 calls for “an analysis of water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, and structural fire protection needs or deficiencies” for all identified DUCs. Within the Ukiah SOI, public water and wastewater services are provided by special districts. Where public water and wastewater services are not provided, onsite systems (e.g., private wells and septic systems) are used.
Private wells and septic systems were not evaluated in this report. The following is an overview of how services are provided within the DUCs in the Ukiah area.
WATER
Potable water service within DUCs in Ukiah SOI is provided primarily by special districts, although several DUCs are reliant on individual wells. Special districts that provide water services include:
Calpella County Water District (DUC #11)
Mendocino County Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District (DUCs #1, #2, #3, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, and #11) Millview County Water District (DUCs #6, #7, #8, #9, and #10) Willow County Water District (DUCs #1, #2, #3, and #5, and approximately 95 percent of DUC #4)
A small portion (approximately 5 percent of the total area) of DUC #4 relies on private wells.
WASTEWATER
Wastewater collection and treatment services are provided to DUCs in the Ukiah SOI through a combination of onsite septic systems (both individual septic and community septic systems) and special districts. Special districts that provide wastewater services include:
Calpella County Water District (DUC #11)
Millview County Water District (DUC #8)
Ukiah Valley Sanitation District (DUCs #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6) DUCs #1 and #7, #9, #10 rely on septic tanks.
STORMWATER DRAINAGE
Nearly half of the Ukiah DUCs are provided with stormwater drainage services by Mendocino County (County). The other DUCs rely on roadside ditches to collect stormwater runoff.
Services are provided as the following:
Mendocino County (DUCs #4, #6, #10, and #11)

21-CDBG-HA-00001
City of Ukiah 11
1995 General Plan
DUCs #1, #2, #3, #5, #7, #8, and #9 rely on roadside ditches.
STRUCTURAL FIRE PROTECTION
Fire protection services within the Ukiah SOI are provided by Ukiah Valley Fire Authority and the Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire District. The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) jointly manages, equips, maintains and operates all-risk fire, emergency medical and rescue services to the City and Fire District. Services are provided as the following:

DUC SERVICE PROFILES
For each of the 11 identified DUCs in the Ukiah SOI, the City consulted with the Mendocino Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) and researched available data and reports to determine how water, wastewater, stormwater drainage, and structural fire protection services are provided. The Mendocino LAFCo information was derived primarily from published Municipal Service Reviews (MSRs) and SOI update reports. The following are analyses of how each DUC is being served.
DUC #1
DUC #1 is located at
the northwest corner of
Burke Hill Road and
Bisby Avenue, west of
Redwood Highway.
This area includes 4
parcels totaling
approximately 8 acres,
with approximately 15
mobile homes. This
area is commonly
known as Ukiah Mobile
Estates.
Water – The
Mendocino County
Russian River Flood
Control and Water
Conservation
Improvement District
(RRFC) provide raw
water for irrigation and
to municipal water
purveyors within this
area.
The Willow County Water District (WCWD) receives water from the RRFC, then treats and distributes the water to this area. During a normal year, the WCWD distributes approximately 1,200 acre-feet of water per year for domestic and landscape and agricultural irrigation uses.
Water usage is about 20 percent residential and 80 percent commercial/industrial. The WCWD maintains a storage capacity of 1.348 million gallons in nine storage tanks strategically located throughout the WCWD. Based on data contained in the 2013 Ukiah Valley Special Districts MSR, the WCWD would have sufficient capacity to meet anticipated demand- and consequently, it does not appear there are water deficiencies.
Exhibit E
City of Ukiah
21-CDBG-HA-00001

Wastewater – There is no community wastewater system in place for this community. Septic tanks are used by residents for wastewater disposal. Because no data has been recently presented suggesting the septic capacity is not sufficient for this community, there appear to be no wastewater deficiencies in this community.
Stormwater Drainage – Storm drainage capture and transport is limited since there is no community storm drain system in place for this community. In lieu of a storm drain system, there are roadside ditches that are used to manage and transport stormwater runoff for the area. The use of roadside ditches have led to less ponding and localized flooding, but during large rain events, localized flooding and ponding may still occur. Based on the availability of stormwater runoff capture and transport through roadside ditches, there appear to be no stormwater drainage deficiencies in this community.
Structural Fire Protection – Fire protection is provided to this community by Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA). The UVFA provides structural, wildland fire suppression, and emergency medical services. UVFA staff are trained to provide emergency medical service at the Basic Life Support (BLS) level and are the first responders to these types of calls. The UVFA reviews all applications for new commercial construction, multi-unit housing, occupancy changes, and tenant changes that are within its service area and require a building permit. UVFA Station 1 (South Station), located at 1500 S. State Street, is the closest station to DUC #1. This station is staffed full time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. During peak fire season, CalFire operates CalFire Station Ukiah, part of the Mendocino Unit, located at 2690 N. State Street. This station is not staffed full-time, but when operational, can assist UVFA during large fire incidents.
Water infrastructure for fire connections is inadequate in this area (there are no fire hydrants), limiting availability to adequate fire suppression systems. In lieu of an adequate fire suppression system and existing water serving infrastructure, all UVFA fire trucks are required to carry water onboard for fire suppression. Based on these water infrastructure issues, there are fire protection service deficiencies in this community.

Based on data contained in the 2013 Ukiah Valley Special Districts MSR, the WCWD would have sufficient capacity to meet anticipated demand- and consequently, it does not appear there are water deficiencies.
Wastewater – The Ukiah Valley Sanitation District (UVSD) provides wastewater service to this community. The City owns the collection system and a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), while the UVSD owns the collection system within its jurisdictional boundaries. The UVSD contracts via a Participation Agreement to the City of Ukiah for use of the City-owned WWTP and for maintenance of its collection system. Based on the most recent data available from the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District and Mendocino LAFCo, there do not appear to be wastewater deficiencies in this community.

This station is not staffed full-time, but when operational can assist UVFA during large fire incidents.
The area has access to fire hydrants. However, the majority of fire connections are standpipes or wharf hydrants, which do not produce the fire flows of a standard hydrant. The fire connections are sufficient for small isolated fires, but for major fires, UVFA must use water tenders. All fire trucks also carry water onboard for fire suppression. Based on these water infrastructure issues, there are fire protection service deficiencies in this community.

Because no data has been recently presented suggesting the septic capacity is not sufficient for this community, there appear to be no wastewater deficiencies in this community.
Stormwater Drainage – Storm drainage capture and transport is limited since there is no community storm drain system in place for this community. In lieu of a storm drain system, there are roadside ditches which are used to manage and transport stormwater runoff for the area.
The use of roadside ditches have led to less ponding and localized flooding, but during large rain events, localized flooding and ponding may still occur. Based on the availability of Exhibit E

stormwater runoff capture and transport through roadside ditches, there do not appear to be stormwater drainage deficiencies in this community.
Structural Fire Protection – Fire protection is provided to this community by Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA). The UVFA provides structural, wildland fire suppression, and emergency medical services. UVFA staff are trained to provide emergency medical service at the Basic Life Support (BLS) level and are the first responders to these types of calls. The UVFA reviews all applications for new commercial construction, multi-unit housing, occupancy changes, or tenant changes that are within its service area and require a building permit. UVFA Station 2 (North Station), located at 1800 N. State Street, is the closest station to DUC #7. This station is staffed full time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. During peak fire season CalFire operates CalFire Station Ukiah, part of the Mendocino Unit, located at 2690 N. State Street.
This station is not staffed full-time, but when operational can assist UVFA during large fire incidents.
The area has access to fire hydrants. However, the majority of fire connections are standpipes or wharf hydrants, which do not produce the fire flows of a standard hydrant. The fire connections are sufficient for small isolated fires, but for major fires, UVFA must use water tenders. All fire trucks also carry water onboard for fire suppression. Based on these water infrastructure issues, there are fire protection service deficiencies in this community.

The Calpella County Water District receives water from the RRFC, then treats and distributes the water to this area. Based on the 2013 Ukiah Valley Special Districts Municipal Service Review (MSR), the water infrastructure capacity is sufficient, but the District overall lacks additional water capacity. The lack of water supply leads to a potential of meeting future demands without purchasing water from other sources. There are no reported changes since the 2013 MSR.
Wastewater –The Calpella County Water District serves over 100 sewer connections and operates a wastewater treatment plant. The capacity of the plant was increased to 80,000 gpd.
In 2007, the average daily flow rate was estimated at 32,000 gallons. The CCWD has additional treatment capacity and can accommodate up to 1,000 residents, which is about 300 more than the current population within the CCWD service area. Based on the most recent data available from the CCWD and Mendocino LAFCo, there do not appear to be wastewater deficiencies in this community.
Stormwater Drainage – The County manages a storm drain collection system for this community. Based on data from the most recent MSR, for this area does not appear to have infrastructure deficiencies related to stormwater drainage.
Structural Fire Protection – The Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire District (RVCFD) provides structural fire protection, wildland fire protection, emergency medical services, rescue, hazardous materials response, and fire prevention for Calpella. The District is dispatched by CALFire. RVCFD operates one fire station in Redwood Valley at 8481 East Road in Redwood Valley. Within Calpella and the outlying area, The District relies on its 2,000-gallon water tender, agricultural irrigation ponds, and cisterns constructed by property owners as part of a residential building permit. In 2016, water supply for firefighting in the outlying areas is considered “marginally adequate,” especially during time of drought. RVCFD is exploring other means to augment its existing water supplies, either through mutual aid tanker support from other fire agencies; or through acquisition of additional water tenders. The core of capital improvement needs for RVCFD are generally planned in the budget and are underway, which includes a 10- year program to replace its vehicles.
The area has access to fire hydrants. However, the majority of fire connections are standpipes or wharf hydrants, which do not produce the fire flows of a standard hydrant. The fire connections are sufficient for small isolated fires, but for major fires, UVFA must use water tenders. All fire trucks also carry water onboard for fire suppression. Based on these water infrastructure issues, there are fire protection service deficiencies in this community. .

POTENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING SOURCES
There are Federal and State programs that could potentially help address existing deficiencies identified in the communities discussed above. Table 3 provides a brief summary of programs that could provide funding to address infrastructure deficiencies in DUCs.
TABLE 3
POTENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING SOURCES
Program Name Agency Program Description
Community
Development Block
Grants (CDBG)
United States
Housing and Urban
Development
Department (HUD)
These grants can fund the construction of projects such as water and sewer facilities, street maintenance, as well as other public work projects.
Community
Facilities Direct

This program provides funding to develop essential
community facilities in rural areas.
Impact Fees Local Governments Development Impact Fees can be imposed for new development, in order to acquire funding to construct capital facilities. Applying development impact fees to projects does have substantial limitations under The Mitigation Fee Act, sections 66000.
Taxation Local Governments
and Public
Agencies
In 1982 the California State Legislature enacted the
Community Facilities Act, commonly referred to as MelloRoos. This act authorized local jurisdictions to establish community facility districts, which would directly serve as another funding mechanism for financing public work projects, and even public services. This method of revenue generation potentially could be used to finance projects that will make the necessary improvements to the deficiencies in these
communities.
Clean Water State
Revolving Fund
(CWSRF)
The State Water
Resources Control
Board
CWSRF provides financial assistance for a wide range of water infrastructure projects. It is a partnership between the US EPA and states governments. States have the flexibility to fund a range of projects that address their highest priority water quality needs. Using a combination of federal and state funds, CWSRF provides loans to eligible recipients to
construct municipal wastewater facilities and decentralized wastewater treatment systems, among other projects.

POTENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING SOURCES
Program Name Agency Program Description
Bonds Local Governments Bonding is a funding mechanism that can be used specifically to fund large infrastructure projects in disadvantaged
communities. There are three bond types: revenue bonds, lease revenue bonds, and obligations bonds.
Revenue bonds are typically ensured by the project
that is being constructed. A common revenue bond
infrastructure project would be a water treatment
facility. Once the bond is paid, the facility operation and ownership is turned over to the jurisdiction.
Lease revenue bonds are secured by either a nonprofit or privately financed group, that constructs the infrastructure project, then leases the completed
facility back to the jurisdiction, until the costs of the bond have been paid for. Once the bond is paid, the
facility operation and ownership is turned over to the
jurisdiction.
General obligation bonds are issued for the
improvement and enhancement of real property. Local
governments have the ability to raise property taxes in order to cover the costs of the bond and infrastructure project. Unlike the previous two types of bonding
methods, the general obligation bond, does require
voter approval.
Household and
Small Water
System Drought
Assistance
Program
State Water
Resources Control
Board
The State Water Resources Control Board authorized $5
million to assist individual households and small water systems to address drought-related drinking water
emergencies. Funding is available as low interest loans and/or grant based on recipient’s income and affordability.

Racial Equity
It is a Department priority to ensure all eligible persons receive equitable access to services, and are served with dignity, respect and compassion regardless of circumstance, ability or identity. This includes marginalized populations, including but not limited to, Black, Native and Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islanders and other People of Color, immigrants, people with criminal records, people with disabilities, people with mental health and substance use vulnerabilities, people with limited English proficiency, people who identify as transgender, people who identify as LGBTQ+, and other individuals that may not traditionally access mainstream support. The following list of questions highlight items that you as the Grantee might be doing to address racial equity. If you have not started to address racial equity in your housing and community development projects and programs, this is an opportunity to describe your plans for how this funding will reduce disparities and increase racial equity in your communities. Answers in this section will not serve to qualify or disqualify applicants but rather will serve as a baseline measure of the current state of each applicant’s disparities, efforts and outcomes.

Re:City of Ukiah Community Development Department
Housing Rehabilitation Program
DEAR APPLICANT:
Thank you for your interest in the City of Ukiah’s Housing Rehabilitation Program. This program uses federal and state funds to provide low-interest loans and grants to income-qualified households for the rehabilitation of their residences. Loan amounts range from $5,000 to $80,000. Properties of 1-4 units, owned either by a homeowner occupying the residence or by a landlord, are eligible for financing assistance.
Owner-Occupied Properties
Loan financing terms for owner-occupied properties are made flexible to allow for maximum affordability.
Provided that an amortized loan payment will not cause housing costs plus all other monthly debt payments to exceed 49% of gross monthly income, rehabilitation costs may be financed as a 0% simple interest rate loan. In the event the household cannot afford a loan payment, the loan may be financed at 0% simple interest with payments deferred for a period of 30 years.
Very low-income owner-occupants (making 50% of Mendocino County Area Median Income or less*) or persons who are elderly (age 65 and older) or permanent disabled heads of household will be eligible for 0% interest deferred payment loans. Such residents are also eligible for the Emergency Repair Grant Program.
Owner-Investor Properties
The City offers a Below Market Interest Rate (BMIR) loan at 1.5% simple interest, amortized over a period with a maximum term of 15 years as determined by the City’s Loan Committee, to owners of properties renting to households with a maximum gross annual income less than 80% of Mendocino County Area Median Income.* In order to be considered for the program, you- or for landlords, your tenant(s)- must provide documentation regarding your household income, assets, and home including evidence of insurance, evidence of ownership, mortgage information, etc. Please see the following pages for a list of documents you are required to submit. Do not submit your application without all required documentation. * See Mendocino County Area Median Income Limits on next page.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO APPLY
1. Complete the enclosed application.
2. Complete the Required Documentation Checklist in Section 7 of the application and provide copies of all supporting documentation listed in the checklist.
3. Mail, email or deliver completed application to the City of Ukiah Housing Division, 300 Seminary Avenue, Ukiah, CA 95482, email: [email protected] .
Please note: your application will not be deemed complete until all forms are completed and signed and all supporting documentation is provided.
THE SCOPE OF WORK
1. Once you have qualified for the program, City staff will schedule an inspection of your property.
2. A list of corrective actions for all health and safety deficiencies, combined with a limited amount of general property improvements, will be developed and used as the scope of work for the project.
THE BIDDING PROCESS
1. Once a scope of work is agreed upon by the City and the applicant, City staff will prepare a work write-up, which is a list of bid specifications for the project (e.g. materials, colors of paint, flooring selections, construction specifications, etc.)
2. The project is then advertised to the City of Ukiah’s bidder list.
3. When three or more contractors have expressed interest in bidding on the project, a jobsite bid walk is scheduled.
4. The contractors and City staff will come to the applicant's home on an agreed upon date and time to walk the project, take measurements and photos, and prepare to bid on the work.
5. The bid results are then sent to the applicant and each bidding contractor. The owner is then allowed to select any of the responsible bids and is not required to choose the lowest bid.
CONTRACT SIGNING AND LOAN CLOSING
1. Once a bid for the work has been accepted by all parties, City staff will seek approval for a loan with the City of Ukiah Housing Loan Committee.
2. After Housing Loan Committee approval, and on a scheduled date, the owner, selected contractor, and City staff will sign the Owner-Contractor contract. The contract will specify the complete scope of work to be performed, cost to owner, length of time allowed to complete the work, procedure for paying the contractor, qualifications and insurance requirements, process for changing the terms of the contract, warranty period, and other contract issues which protect the rights of the owner and contractor.
3. Once the contract is signed, your loan, covering the cost of the construction (and contingency) will be closed (signed). You will be asked to sign loan documents including: a promissory note for the amount of the loan; a deed of trust to secure the promissory note; and a loan disclosure statement describing the terms of the loan.
4. As with all legal contracts, you (owner) will have three business days (72 hours) after signing, to exercise your “Right to Cancel” during which time you may change your mind and withdraw from the program. “Business Days” include Saturdays, but do not include Sundays or Holidays. Should you opt to withdraw from the program, you are not disqualified from applying again at a later date. However, the City of Ukiah Housing Division does ask you to carefully consider your commitment to our program, as many hours of administrative time go into processing each application.
Telephone: (707) 463-6708 FAX: (707) 463-6204
Email: [email protected]
CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION
1. When the Right to Cancel period ends, and on a date agreed upon by the City and the applicant, the City staff issues the Notice to Proceed and the contractor is allowed to begin the work.
2. The length of the contract may be extended if additions or changes to the contract are agreed upon, or if unavoidable delays such as inclement weather occur.
3. During the course of construction, the contractor may request periodic “progress payments” prior to completion of the project. These payments will be made on an agreed upon schedule and will only pay for items of work which are complete, signed off by the City of Ukiah Building Division (if necessary), and that meet the standards set forth by the City of Ukiah Housing Division.
4. Upon completion of all work items, the City staff will perform a final inspection, verify that all building permits have been signed off, collect final lien waivers, process a final progress payment and issue a Notice of Completion.

QUERIDO SOLICITANTE:
Gracias por su interés en el Programa de Rehabilitación de Viviendas de la Ciudad de Ukiah. Este programa utiliza fondos federales y estatales para otorgar préstamos a bajo interés y subvenciones a hogares con ingresos calificados para la rehabilitación de sus residencias. Los montos de los préstamos oscilan entre $5,000 y $80,000. Las propiedades de 1 a 4 unidades, ya sea de un propietario que ocupe la residencia o de un arrendador, son elegibles para recibir asistencia financiera.
Propiedades ocupadas por el propietario
Los términos de financiamiento de préstamos para propiedades ocupadas por sus propietarios se hacen flexibles para permitir la máxima asequibilidad. Siempre que un pago de préstamo amortizado no haga que los costos de vivienda más todos los demás pagos mensuales de deuda excedan el 49 % del ingreso mensual bruto, los costos de rehabilitación pueden financiarse como un préstamo con tasa de interés simple del 0 %. En caso de que el hogar no pueda pagar un préstamo, el préstamo puede financiarse al 0 % de interés simple con pagos diferidos por un período de 30 años.
Los propietarios-ocupantes de muy bajos ingresos (que ganen el 50 % del ingreso medio del área del condado de Mendocino o menos*) o las personas mayores (de 65 años o más) o las cabezas del hogar que tienen una incapacidad permanente serán elegibles para préstamos con pago diferido de 0 % de interés. Dichos residentes también son elegibles para el programa de subvenciones para reparaciones de emergencia.
Propiedades de propietario-inversionista
La Ciudad ofrece un préstamo con una tasa de interés por debajo del mercado (BMIR, por sus siglas en inglés) al 1.5 % de interés simple, amortizado durante un período con un plazo máximo de 15 años según lo determine el Comité de Préstamos de la Ciudad, a los propietarios de propiedades que alquilan a hogares con un ingreso anual bruto máximo menos del 80 % del ingreso medio del área del condado de Mendocino.* Para ser considerado para el programa, usted, o en el caso de los propietarios, su(s) inquilino(s) debe(n) proporcionar documentación relacionada con los ingresos, los bienes y la vivienda de su hogar, incluida la evidencia del seguro, la evidencia de propiedad, la información de la hipoteca, etc. Consulte la siguientes páginas para obtener una lista de los documentos que debe presentar. No envíe su solicitud sin toda la documentación requerida.

ITEM NO: 2025-1354
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of Plans and Specifications for the Corporation Yard Monitoring Well Abandonment Project, Specification 25-06, and Direct Staff to Advertise for Bids.
DEPARTMENT: Public Works PREPARED BY: Seth Strader, Administrative Analyst PRESENTER: Tim Eriksen, Public Works Director/City Engineer ATTACHMENTS:
1. Original PS&E Approval
2. Bid Rejection
3. Spec 25-06 Abandonment of Environmental Monitoring and Remediation Wells
4. Plans for Remediation System Decommissioning, Site Restoration, and Well Abandonment
5. Engineers Estimate of Cost
Summary: Council will consider the approval of plans and specifications for the Corporation Yard Monitoring Well Abandonment Project, Specification 25-06, and direct Staff to advertise for bids.
Background: In the 1990's, a hydrocarbon leak was detected in an underground fuel tank that was used at the Corporation Yard at 1320 Airport Road. The City was required by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) to remediate the site. The clean-up or remediation work has been completed for several years and the case is now eligible for closure through the RWQCB. As part of the clean-up process, several monitoring, sparging, and extraction wells were installed. These wells were used to monitor the severity and spread of contaminants from the leak and extract contaminants and treat them with carbon filtration.
Previously, the City Council approved the plans and specifications and directed staff to advertise for bids for the removal of these monitoring wells (Attachment 1). Unfortunately, the lowest bid was significantly greater than the engineer's estimate for the project. The insurance policy that the City is using to reimburse for the costs associated with the remediation of these wells only approved expenditures equal to the engineer's estimate with a small contingency. City Council approved the rejection of all previously received bids for the project with the understanding that Staff would revise the plans and specs to capture cost savings and rerelease the project (Attachment 2).
Discussion: Staff has revised the plans and specifications for the project (Attachments 3 and 4). Key revisions include expanding contractor eligibility to those holding a Class A license and incorporating the removal of the well remediation equipment into the project scope. The remediation equipment consists of tanks, piping, pumps, air compressors, and related components previously used to remediate groundwater extracted from the monitoring wells.
Under the prior specifications, the well abandonment work (requiring a C-57 well driller’s license) and the equipment removal work (Class A) were separated into two sequential projects. This approach was originally necessary because the City was under a deadline to complete the well abandonment by October 1, 2025, which is the only component required to close the case with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). City Staff has worked with the RWQCB to extend the deadline for case closure to March 31, 2026.
With the schedule constraints now resolved, the scope of work has been consolidated into a single project to improve its chances of soliciting competitive bids and reduce overall administrative burden.
The engineer's estimate for the project is $289,335.50 (Attachment 5). A budget amendment will be requested at the time of the bid award.
Staff recommends Council approve of plans and specifications for the Corporation Yard Monitoring Well Abandonment Project, Specification 25-06, and direct Staff to advertise for bids.
Recommended Action: Approve the plans and specifications for the Corporation Yard Monitoring Well Abandonment Project, Specification 25-06, and direct Staff to advertise for bids.

ATTACHMENTS:
1. PLANS
2. DRAFT 2024 Bid Specifications for Environmental Well Abandonment Summary: Council will consider the approval of plans and specifications for Corporation Yard Monitoring Well Abandonment Project.
Background: In the 1990's, a hydrocarbon leak was detected in an underground fuel tank that was used at the Corporation Yard at 1320 Airport Road. The City was required by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to clean the site. The clean-up has been completed for several years and the site was declared clean by the SWRCB. As part of the clean-up process, several monitoring and sparging wells were installed. These wells were used to monitor the severity and spread of contaminants from the leak. This project will abandon these wells in order to close out the site with the SWRCB.
Discussion: The project includes the abandonment of a total of fifty-one(51) wells. Please see Attachment 1 for a copy of the plans and Attachment 2 for a copy of the bid specification. These costs will be reimbursed by an independent insurance policy obtained by the City. The insurer, Great American Insurance Group, has already approved this project.
The engineer's estimate for the well abandonment is $171,433 and project management is $53,707 for a total project cost of $225,140. Once the construction bid process is complete, a budget amendment will be requested at the time of the bid award to include both the construction and project management services, which will also include a report of the project management contract.
Staff recommends Council approve the plans and specifications for the Corporation Yard Monitoring Well Abandonment Project.
Recommended Action: Approve Plans and Specifications for Corporation Yard Monitoring Well Abandonment Project.

2. Bid Tabulation Spec 24-08 Abandonment of Environmental Monitoring and Remidiation Wells Summary: Council will consider rejecting all bids on the contract for the Abandonment of Environmental Monitoring and Remediation Wells Project, Specification 24-08.
Background: On May 7, 2025, the Ukiah City Council approved the plans and specifications for the Abandonment of Environmental Monitoring and Remediation Wells Project, Specification 24-08, and directed Staff to advertise bids. The engineer's estimate for the well abandonment is $171,433 and project management is $53,707 for a total project cost of $225,140.
Discussion: On May 20, 2025, the bid was released for Spec 24-08 Abandonment of Environmental Monitoring and Remediation Wells. Please see Attachment 1 for a copy of the finalized bid specifications. The bid notice was distributed to the Builder's Exchanges, as well as contractors on the Qualified Bidder's list and posted to Bidnet Direct. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was conducted on June 12, 2025. Bids were due and opened at 2 p.m. on June 24, 2025. Unfortunately, the lowest bid was significantly greater than the engineer's estimate for the project (see Attachment 2 for Bid Tabulation).
The insurance policy that the City is using to reimburse for the costs associated with the remediation of these wells has only approved expenditures equal to the engineer's estimate with a small contingency. Staff plans to revise the bid specification by including the removal of the remediation equipment and open the project to Class A licensed contractors and release the project again. Staff's goal with this repackaging is to allow for more competition and a lower total project cost.
Recommended Action: Reject all bids received for the Abandonment of Environmental Monitoring and Remediation Wells Project, Specification 24-08.

In such case, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the work is finished.
