REGULAR CALENDAR
1) Police Chief Damiean Sylvester presented the staff report for council consideration and adoption of Resolution No. 02-22 adopting the updated 2021 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) and jurisdictional annexes in accordance with FEMA guidelines and the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires hazard mitigation planning as part of the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. In December 2007, the County of Yuba received the final approval letter for the County’s initial planning grant through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDM). Per the DMA 2000, these plans must be updated once every five years. The 2021 updates are a result of collaboration with Yuba County, receiving input from our City Engineer, City Planner, City Public Works Director, and the Police Department. The LHMP will give the City of Wheatland opportunity to identify needed projects within the community and apply for grant funding through FEMA. In 2012, the Yuba County Office of Emergency Services applied for and received competitive grant funds through FEMA to update the 2007 mitigation plan. A consultant firm was hired, and the mitigation plan process was completed. The Yuba County Plan was approved by FEMA and the Yuba County Board of Supervisors in 2016.
In early 2021, the City of Wheatland began planning with FEMA and Yuba County to update the 2020 LHMP. The updates were completed in August of 2021 and the final approval from CAL OES and FEMA will be completed once they receive our signed resolution. The Cities of Marysville and Wheatland, as well as the Yuba County Water Agency were required to adopt the Yuba County Plan and annexes to fulfill DMA 2000 requirements for multi-jurisdictional planning and the Yuba County PDM grant.
2 Motion was made by Vice Mayor R. Coe, Seconded by Council Member J. Pendergraph to Adopt Resolution No. 02-22 approving the updated 2021 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan and jurisdictional annexes in accordance with FEMA guidelines and the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. Vote called – AYES: All. Motion carried.
2) City Manager Jim Goodwin presented the staff report for the 2022 Presentation Series Session #1, Lot Sizes in Today’s Housing Market. Earlier this year your City Council requested that informational sessions be included on the City Council agenda in lieu of doing the annual planning meeting.

Beginning with tonight’s meeting, Council will be receiving presentations, with opportunity for Q/A, in several subject areas over the next several meetings. The topics include Lot Sizes in Today’s, Housing Market, Trends in Policing, Exploring the Value of Parks and Recreation, Capital Projects Overview and Economic Development 10. Lot Sizes in Today’s Housing Market is being presented by Community Development Director Tim Raney.
