Perennial Energy Enclosed Landfill Gas/ Biogas Flare – Emissions Statement The emissions levels and destruction efficiencies stated herein are only valid if testing is performed by an approved testing company with documented experience in emissions testing of low velocity landfill gas/biogas flare exhaust streams, and the flare is correctly adjusted/tuned. Temperature settings & final adjustments will be determined during source test.

Project or Proposal # P25142 Location: 3100 Vichy Springs Road Ukiah, CA 95482 Gas Flow Range: 11- 110 SCFM Energy Content: 200-500 BTU/SCF Total Thermal Loading Rate: 0.3 MM BTU/Hr to 3.0 MM BTU/Hr Operated within the above criteria, the PEI flare will emit no more than 0.06 lb/MMBtu NOx (evaluated as NO2).

Such performance is based on CEMS testing performed by an approved testing company using chemiluminescence analytical techniques compliant with EPA method 7E, and when the following equation is used as the basis of the emission calculation;
lb/MMBtu NOx = (ppm NOx / 10^6) x (46 lb/lb-mole / 385.3 dscf/lb-mole) x Ff * x 20.9 / (20.9 - % Stack O2) NOX emission rates are exclusive of fixed nitrogen in the fuel or injected in condensate, leachate, or other sources.

Operated within the above criteria, the flare will emit no more than 0.20 lb/MMBtu CO. Performance is based on CEMS testing performed by an approved testing company using NDIR/GFC analytical techniques compliant with EPA method 10, and when the following equation is used as the basis of the emission calculation; lb/MMBtu CO = (ppm CO / 10^6) x (28 lb/lb-mole / 385.3 dscf/lb-mole) x Ff * x 20.9 / (20.9 - % Stack O2) * The Ff (fuel factor) shall be as determined by laboratory analysis or per EPA Method 19.

Operated within the above criteria, the flare will provide NMOC destruction efficiency compliant with Subpart Cc,

60.33c, (c) (2), i.e. “. . .shall reduce NMOC by 98 weight percent, or;” (c) (3) of that same section, i.e. “. . . reduce the outlet NMOC concentration to 20 parts per million as hexane by volume, dry basis at 3 percent oxygen, or less.” Such performance is based on inlet flow rate measurement taken via pitot tube traverses performed in compliance with EPA method 2, and for exhaust flow rates determined by a carbon balance equation evaluation.

Samples of the inlet and exhaust gases to provide methane and total gaseous non-methane organics constituencies shall be collected in summa canisters, and shall be laboratory evaluated using the TCA/FID analytical technique compliant with EPA method 25A. Additionally, a GC/FID analyzer shall be employed during source testing for sampling exhaust gas during CEMS testing to provide an “on-line” indication and record of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC’s). The calculation to determine the destruction efficiency shall be as follows; (lb/hr NMOC’s IN - lb/hr NMOC’s OUT) / lb/hr NMOC’s IN . . . where; lb/hr NMOC’s as hexane = (ppm as C1 NMOC’s / 6 / 10^6) x (86 lb/lb-mole / 385.3 dscf/lb-mole) x (dscf / hr) or;
ppm NMOC’s as hexane at 3% Oxygen = (ppm as C1 NMOC’s / 6) x (20.9 - 3) / (20.9 - % Stack O2) Note that the 98% DE applies to the aggregate NMOCs, not to any specific compound.

The system shall be capable of achieving a minimum of 99% DRE of Total Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) (Sum of methane and non-methane organics). Please note that oxidizing combustion systems (such as landfill gas flares) neither generate nor remove sulphur. Any H2S entering the flare is oxidized to form SOx compounds, but on a molecular basis, sulphur in is equal to sulphur out.

Note also that mineral based particulates, such as wind-blown dust or silica, can be entrained into the ambient cooling and quenching air or purge air streams and passed into the combustor. As non-combustible matter, they will be passed into the exhaust stream and will be measured as particulate emissions, but are not generated by the combustion process. Additionally, Siloxanes will burn to SiO2. PEI makes no guarantees regarding these particulates, or particulates formed from the combustion of other non-methane constituents in the gas stream.

MEETING DATE/TIME: 2/4/2026

ITEM NO: 2026-153

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of Resolution Adopting a 2026 Advocacy Platform to Serve as Guidelines for Local, State, and Federal Legislative Matters.

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

1. 2026 Advocacy Platform Draft no Reso_redlined_att 1

2. Advocacy Platform and Resolution_2026_clean draft_att 2

3. 2025-26 League of CA Cities Priorities
Summary: Council will consider adoption of a Resolution adopting a 2026 Advocacy Platform to provide guidance regarding local, state, and federal legislative and judicial matters, and allow the City to weigh in on such matters in a timely fashion. An advocacy platform enables the Mayor and/or City Manager, or their designee, to submit letters or other filings on behalf of the City if the proposed matter is within the City’s adopted advocacy platform guidelines. Additionally, platform guidelines enable the City to actively participate in the regional, state, and federal legislative processes on behalf of the City of Ukiah.

Background: The ability of the City to serve the residents and provide for a thriving and sustainable community requires support from all levels of government. Local government is uniquely and best positioned to support, serve, and respond to community and individual needs. However, with local, state, and federal legislative policy and judicial matters, action is often needed to support local government in having this impact.

These legislative policies and legal actions can affect the City's ability to deliver services, shape what services are delivered, impact the resources available for services, and remove obstacles to delivering services. These policies sometimes require immediate attention.

The Ukiah City Council has annually adopted a Platform and a corresponding resolution, most recently in January 2025. Minor revisions have been made to that document as a result of review by each City department, shown in redline on Attachment 1, and a clean version of the proposed 2026 Advocacy Resolution and Platform is provided as Attachment 2.

Discussion: In order to fulfill the City’s commitment to the community, positive local, state, and federal action- -including the allocation of resources--should be sought.

The Advocacy Platform is also consistent with the 2025-26 goals and priorities of the League of California Cities ("the League"), provided as Attachment 3.

The proposed 2026 Advocacy Platform from the City states it does not take positions on matters outside the scope and purpose of municipal government. Occasionally, the City is asked to take positions that do not materially affect the scope and purpose of our municipal government; these tend to be quality of life or social issues; or federal government matters like foreign policy.

The Platform would not preclude the Mayor or Councilmembers from placing an item on the agenda for

Page 223 of 294 ends
Page 2 of 2 ends

consideration. However, it would provide guidance to others about positions typically taken by the City Council.

To this end, if the City should adopt/update the proposed 2026 Advocacy Platform, it would provide a guide for the City’s legislative advocates and highlight key issues important to the local community. The Platform provides 13 over-arching guiding principles intended for specific legislative and legal action and supports existing City Council-established goals and policies. The priorities outlined streamline the legislative approval process by providing clear direction on pertinent issues for our community. It is by no means allencompassing.

As previously stated, the Platform is reviewed by Council on an annual basis in coordination with the State’s legislative calendar, and will continue to be listed on the tracking calendar for Council review in DecemberJanuary of each year.

Staff recommends the adoption of the proposed Resolution that includes the 2026 Advocacy Platform providing overall guidance that allows the Mayor, and/or City Manager, or their designee, to send/file support or opposition to the League and other agencies/organizations to protect or advocate for our community. When such action is taken, the Council would be notified through the public record and provided a copy of the correspondence.

Recommended Action: Adopt resolution adopting a 2026 Advocacy Platform to serve as guidelines for local, state, and federal legislative, administrative, regulatory, and court matters.

League of California Cities 2025-26 Advocacy Priorities

1. Protect and enhance local revenues and expand economic development tools.

Californians are deeply concerned about affordability. Cities must safeguard local revenue streams, oppose unfunded mandates, and pursue new economic development tools that bolster local economies.

2. Strengthen partnerships with the state to improve public safety.

The progress cities have been making to strengthen public safety must be sustained.

Cities call on the state to respect the will of the voters and provide the resources needed to fully implement Proposition 36. Cities support sustained investments in police, fire services, and public works as a foundation of public safety.

3. Secure investments to prevent and reduce homelessness and increase the supply of affordable housing.

Secure ongoing funding to bolster all cities’ efforts to support unhoused residents and strengthen state and regional partnerships to expand access to wraparound services.

Secure ongoing funding to accelerate the construction of affordable housing and reform the Regional Housing Needs Allocation process.

Ensure cities have the flexibility and local decision-making authority to meet their community and state housing goals as well as reduce homelessness.

4. Strengthen climate change resiliency and disaster preparedness.

Support city efforts to prepare, prevent, and adapt to natural disasters and the impacts of climate change, including wildfires, drought, sea level rise, and other extreme weather events. Increase transparency and access to insurance policies, especially following a natural disaster.

INDIRECT COST ALLOCATION
19

Page 259 of 294 ends

WHAT IS IT?
• A systematic method used to distribute indirect costs—expenses that benefit multiple departments or programs but are not directly attributable to a single function—across the appropriate cost centers.
• Provides total cost of a service: Total cost = Direct cost + Indirect cost 20

Page 260 of 294 ends

KEY COMPONENTS
Identification of Indirect Costs
Cost Pools
•Costs are grouped into pools based on the function they serve. •Example: An administrative services cost pool might include finance, HR, and IT.

Allocation Bases (Cost Drivers)
•These define how costs are distributed among benefiting departments. •Common allocation bases include:
•Square footage occupied (for facilities costs)
•Number of employees (for HR-related costs)
•Expenditures managed (for Finance-related costs)
Calculation of Indirect Cost Rates
•Typically expressed as a percentage
•Separate rates may be calculated for different cost pools.

Application of Costs to Departments or Programs
•Once allocated, indirect costs are charged to departments based on their usage. 21

Page 261 of 294 ends

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Efficiency
•In lieu of direct charges or billing tracked to time other measurement of effort.

Financial Transparency
•Provides a clear method for allocating shared costs.

Cost Recovery
•Helps recover eligible indirect costs from grants and other funding sources.

Budgeting & Planning
•Ensures departments are charged fairly for central services.

Regulatory Compliance
•Essential for grants requiring cost allocation, such as federal or state grants (e.g., OMB’s Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR Part 200).

1. Redlined Version FY27 Council Strategic Plan_format changes Summary: Each year during the annual budget process, the Ukiah City Council reviews and updates the City's Strategic Plan.

Background: The Strategic Plan provides a framework that prioritizes focus on core functions and ensures City Departments are working together to meet the needs of our residents and businesses as directed by the City Council. The priorities identified in the plan will guide decision-making to desired outcomes through strategies and specific actions.

The priorities, strategies, and actions that make up the strategic plan evolve over time with the changing needs of the community and organization.
• Priorities are broad guiding statements that describe the hopes of the community for the future. A priority may never be completely attainable, but it is used as a point towards which to strive. • Strategies describe what is needed to move the City in the direction of completing each priority. • Actions outline specific steps to be taken to achieve the strategy. Actions are further defined, detailed, and assigned as objectives within each departmental budget.

Throughout the annual budget process, the City Council reviews and modifies the Plan as necessary and sets annual objectives for all departments (within departmental budgets) that are in line with the City's priorities.

Discussion: The City Council will review and discuss the Strategic Plan (Attachment #1). The plan includes updates and edits (in blue) to reflect the Council's recent policy changes and priorities over the previous year.

Notable updates to the plan include:
• Clear prioritization of financial sustainability, team member and resource management. • Expanded prioritization of clear, timely, and accessible communication. • Continued support for regional partnerships and reorganization to support long-term service delivery, infrastructure capacity, fiscal sustainability, and the community vision.

This is the first presentation and review of the Strategic Plan for the Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget year, and Council will continue to have the ability to review and modify the Plan throughout the entire budget development cycle leading up to the adoption of the budget in June.

1. 2026 Draft Council Special Assignments & Ad Hocs
Summary: City Council members will provide reports and updates on their committee and ad hoc/standing committee assignments.

Each year following the rotation of the mayor position, the incoming mayor leads a review of assignments. The Council will also consider modifications, additions and elimination of committee and ad hocs/standing committees.

Background: Local / County / Regional Committees - City of Ukiah Councilmembers take an active role in various commissions and committees that are part of city, county, regional, and statewide governance and interests. Each year, the incoming mayor leads a discussion and makes annual appointments for members assigned to various committee assignments. Committee assignments are organized into Local / County / Regional classifications. Roles on committee assignments will vary from liaison to a voting board seat. Assignments are typically filled by a Councilmember, but in some cases it may be appropriate or desired to appoint a Staff member. In some instances, there might be a primary and alternate designated for assignment.

Ad Hoc and Standing Committees - The City Council may establish and appoint ad hoc and standing committees at any time throughout the year. Ad Hocs are established on an as needed, temporary basis for the purpose of addressing particular issues and will disband once the work is complete. Standing Committees are established for the purpose of addressing broader and/or ongoing issues and are subject to the Brown Act meeting noticing requirements.
***Note: Although the Council Ad Hoc and Standing Committees are a part of the Council Special Assignment List, they are officially appointed by the Council at various meetings, and are subject to Council approval for any changes.

Discussion: Attachment #1 is a draft of the 2026 Council Special Assignment List and Ad Hoc Committees, inclusive of recommended changes - delineated by added text and strike-through edits in red - primarily reflecting recent changes in Staff. Recommendations are shown in blue.

The Mayor will lead a discussion with Council regarding Council committee assignments and make any appointments or reassignments per that discussion. In addition, the Council will consider modifications, additions and disbandment of ad hocs and standing committees. Staff recommends directing the City Clerk to attach the finalized copy of the 2026 City Council Special Assignments List to the February 4, 2026, minutes

Page 290 of 294 ends
Page 2 of 2 ends

for recordation.

Note: All subsequent agendas throughout the year will have a continuation item to allow Council to receive reports on committee and ad hoc work and to allow for further modifications (including the addition of any new ad hocs) as warranted.

Recommended Action: 1) Receive report(s); 2) Discuss the Mayor's recommended assignments, making any possible appointments or re-assignments; 3) Consider the possible continuation, disbandment, and addition of City Council Ad Hoc and/or committees; and 4) Direct the City Clerk to finalize and attach the 2026 Council Assignments and Ad Hoc/Standing Committees List to the February 4, 2026, Minutes.
