5. Review and accept the FY 2022-2023 Audited Financial Statements performed in accordance with the Government Audit Standards and accept the Annual Reports for Transaction and Use Taxes and Transient Occupancy Taxes as required per Municipal Code Section 3.18.120.
DISCUSSION: Finance Director, Greenbaum said we received another clean, unqualified report, which is a pretty big deal for our city. This means that we kind of are at the gold standard having a clean, unqualified report. This is for the year ending June 30, 2023. It was the 15th consecutive unqualified report we received since 2009, our major financial highlights are detailed on page 3 to 9 in the management's discussion analysis.
Mr. Greenbaum gave a detailed course discussion analysis for the general fund for the year ending June 30, 2023. Our unrestricted general fund equity totaled $7,102,000. When netted off against the street fund deficit position at the time of $366,021, the remaining equity totaled $6,736,000. It represented a healthy 135.8% of our budgeted general fund expenditures, including transfers during the year and increased from 116.6% from the prior fiscal year. It was an increase of $1,562,000, which was primarily attributed to growth in sales tax. which were $831,000 higher than budget as 3 well as the $647,000 of coronavirus funding we received during the year. Our general fund equity is detailed on page 12 of the report. For the findings and recommendations in our report of internal controls or financial reporting there were no audit findings in the current year.
In addition, during the audit test work, no instances of noncompliance were discovered, which would require disclosure under government auditing standards. As a standard, internal controls are integral in ensuring accurate financial statements, and the report on internal controls is detailed on pages 49 to 50 of the financial statements. So, the other items we have to report on are the transaction and use taxes, which are on the second page of the staff report. Sales taxes are detailed on page 11 of the financial statements.
When looking at sales taxes, it's helpful to look at the changes over multiple years, which are detailed in the report. We also have to look at the changes over the course of the fiscal year and the fiscal year after the fiscal year. On the staff report sales taxes for the two-year period ending, sales tax for the year ending June 30, 2023, increased by 326,000 or 15.5% from this year 2022. Looking at sales taxes over a two-year period, we can see that sales taxes increased by 551,000 or 29.4% from 2021.
Overall, the large increase is attributed to new business development in the city, as well as the continued increased spending and economy from the pandemic stimulus.
Sales taxes in Williams are very volatile and will fluctuate from year to year because most of our sales taxes are derived from gas sales. Increases and decreases will fluctuate based on the demand of fluctuating gas prices and changing consumer spending patterns.
The Transient Occupancy Tax, which are hotel taxes for the year ending June 30, 2023, totaled $528,284, a decrease of $93,132 or 15% from the $621,416 received in FY2022. Looking back over a two-year period, we see that transient occupancy taxes have increased by $24,984 or 5% from the $503,300 received in FY2021. The large FY2022 transient occupancy revenues can be attributed to a surge in travel due to pent up demand caused by the pandemic. As pandemic related restrictions eased, in FY2022 people tended to travel more as a release to being cooped up at home. In FY2023, this leveling off is due to normalizing travel patterns more consistent with pre-pandemic trends. In addition, this revenue will be impacted by the timing of when the occupancy taxes are remitted to the City of Williams.
Mr. Greenbaum said the staff's recommendation is that the City Council reviews and accepts the FY 2022-2023 audited financial statements performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. Staff also recommends that City Council accepts the annual reports for transaction and Use Taxes and Transient Occupancy Taxes as required per Municipal Code section 3.18.120.
Mayor Belmontes-Leyva asked Finance Director Greenbaum to please explain why in the audit report he mentions that the deficit of the street fun as $366,301 and on the treasurers report the streets deficit is listed as $1.8Million. Mr. Greenbaum said the audit was through June 30, 2023, and it is past over a year and the city has spent quite a bit of money so that dollar amount has increased.
Mayor Belmontes-Leyva thanked the Finance Directoir and his staff for supporting him and having 15 consecutive years of unqualified reports is a big deal. Mr. Greenbaum said he appreciated the comment.
ACTION: Council Member Parsons made a motion, seconded by Council Member Troughton, Jr., to accept the FY 2022-2023 Audited Financial Statements performed in accordance with the Government Audit Standards. Motion passed 5-0 by the following roll-call vote:
4 AYES: Council Members Dunlap, Belmontes-Leyva, Parsons, Sellers, Jr. and Troughton, Jr.
NOES: None.
ABSTAIN: None.
ABSENT: None.
Finance Director Greenbaum said Council would need to make one other motion to accept the Annual Reports for Transaction and Use Taxes and Transient Occupancy Taxes as required per Municipal Code Section 3.18.120.
ACTION: Council Member Parsons made a motion, seconded by Council Member Dunlap, to accept the Annual Reports for Transaction and Use Taxes and Transient Occupancy Taxes as required per Municipal Code Section 3.18.120. Motion passed 5-0 by the following roll-call vote:

6. Accept report on development fees collected for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2024, which provides information which meets the annual and five-year reporting requirements Government Code Section 66006(b) and 66001(d).
DISCUSSION: Finance Director Greenbaum said this is a report that we have to do for the development impact fees that we have. There's an annual reporting requirement and a five-year reporting requirement that we're supposed to disclose what our balances are for all our impact fees, and so this report must detail all of that, must detail our usage of the fees and everything.
It's a legal requirement just to protect our impact fees, and afterwards, after it gets approved, we should also have it posted to our website so that everything's available for people to see. This is the mitigation fee, it governs the establishment administration development impact fees a development impact fee is monetary exaction of a tax or special assessment that is charged by local agency to new development for the purposes of defraying costs of public facilities needed because of impacts created by new development for each separate account upon established the local agency within 180 days. After the last day of each fiscal year so since we're at June 30"h, this is within 180 days to meet that requirement.
At this time Finance Director, Greenbaum stated the findings/analysis, summarizing the City's impact fees and their fund balances for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
City Administrator Kennedy said it is important to keep in mind that these impact fees are paid by developers or development to mitigate the impact they're making on the community. For instance, safety things like traffic lights, specifically, on the other side of town. There are three different zones within the city, and depending on that, would indicate how much they'll have to pay per square foot of their building. The east side of the town is about five times more expensive for traffic impacts than the west side, because the infrastructure is there and obviously there is a maintenance issue to, but we are not going to add many traffic signals to the west side of town whereas the east side of town we are.
After some discussion staff recommended that City Council Accept Assembly Bill 1600 report for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2024, which provides information which meets the annual and five-year reporting requirements described in the Government Code for each City development impact fee and Direct staff to post the AB 1600 on the City's website for public viewing. 5 ACTION: Council Member Parsons made a motion, seconded by Council Member Dunlap, to Accept report on development fees collected for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2024, which provides information which meet the annual and five-year reporting requirements Government Code Section 66006(b) and 66001(d) and have staff post the AB 1600 on the City's website for public viewing. Motion passed 5-0 by the following roll-call vote:
AYES: Council Members Dunlap, Belmontes-Leyva, Parsons, Sellers, Jr. and Troughton, Jr.
NOES: None.
ABSTAIN: None.
ABSENT: None.
7. Assign Council Members as Representatives to Various Boards and Committees.
DISCISSION: Mayor Belmontes-Leyva asked all council members to please email her or contact her by phone to let her know if there are any preferences to the various boards and committees, so that the appropriate assignments can be made.
Council Member Troughton stated he would like to be put on the Finance Committee and the Sacramento Valley Museum Board.
REPORTS
City Attorney - had nothing additional to report.
Mayor Parsons- attended regular meetings.
Council Member Dunlap- attended regular meetings as well as the Tractor Supply grand opening and also participated at Colusa's Old Tyme Christmas.
Council Member Sellers, Jr.- attended regular meetings and grand opening for Tractor Supply.
Council Member Belmontes-Leyva - attended regular meetings and grand opening for Tractor Supply.
Council Member Troughton, Jr.- Council Member Troughton, Jr., said he had been working with the Finance Director on the CalPERS debt. He said this debt accrued because at some point the City was not paying into this. He hopes that with Mr. Greenbaum's help the City can take care of this and save $3million in interest and do it internally. One other thing Council Member Troughton, Jr., said he could not find a record of any raises or any renewal of contracts either during open session or comments after a closed session. He stated some of that is pretty heavy stuff and is wondering why there is no record that shows that the council voted on these raises, or a continuation or renewal of contracts. I'm hoping that next month we can discuss this he said.
Council Member Troughton, Jr., continued stating we are in a situation where Measure W didn't pass and are not doing street work. I think that if we look at that and we make adjustments with personnel, we can start going back to doing road work. That's important because the more we stay away from it, and I remember an article I read in the paper where Frank was interviewed by the newspaper about not being able to do anything for a couple of years. That's not acceptable to me and I hope it's not acceptable to everybody else, But my point being is we have to do something about that.
Council Member Troughton, Jr., asked the City Clerk if there had been any action reported on any contract renewals in the last year.
6 City Clerk, Pineda stated there had been no action reported to her.
City Administrator Kennedy explained that employee contacts renew if you don't notify the employee of the non-renewal within 90 days of the expiration of the contract. So those wouldn't necessarily be coming to city council. If a contract employee was not going to be retained, they would have to be notified 90 days before that non-retention, and so there's no action taken unless you don't want to retain somebody.
Council Member Troughton, Jr., then asked Mr. Kennedy if there had been one contract extended in the last year and the answer was yes.
City Administrator Kennedy stated that the only two contracts that he is not authorized to renew are his contract and the City Attorney's contract. Other than those two he does not need council approval.
Mr. Troughton asked if Personnel matters did not go to City Council even when you've committed the City Council or the City of Williams for $750,000 for a three-year contract. Mr. Kennedy said that was correct and he was authorized. Mr. Kennedy said this was an all-in contract that is not salary, that is benefits and everything else.
Well, I imagine that I'll ask the city council if they want to vote on something that they're renewing for three years, and it's going to cost the citizens of Williams three-quarters of a million dollars. I'd like to throw that million in because that shows you how much money we're spending on one position stated Council Member Troughton, Jr.
Mr. Kennedy said well, to be fair, you also need to look at that particular employee and how much money that person is saving because of all the other duties that he's able to take on.
Mayor Belmontes-Leyva said the discussion was to be tabled because there was no action City Council could take at the moment.
Council Member Troughton, Jr., said he would like to see this as an item on the next City Council Meeting agenda.
STAFF GENERAL REPORTS AND DISCUSSION:
City Administrator Kennedy- has been in contact with some possible new development and looks extremely promising. He has also been in contact with Caltrans regarding the safety of Highway 20.

City Council ITEM: 3.
Agenda Report CATEGORY: Old Business
SUBJECT: Consideration of an Ordinance Amending Section 17.01.050.12 of the Municipal Code Regarding Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units to Comply with Recent Changes in State Law; and Finding the Action to Be Statutorily Exempt from CEQÅ Under Section 21080.17 of the Public Resources Code
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The proposed ordinance will amend Section 17.01.050.12 of the Williams Municipal Code to comply with recent changes to state law that impose new limits on local authority to regulate Accessory Dwelling Units ("ADUs") and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units ("'JADUs").
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Receive the staff report and consider the following actions, by motion:
1. Find that the adoption of the proposed ordinance is statuorily exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") under Public Resources Code section 21080.17.
2. Waive second reading and adoptthe ordinance entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILLIAMS AMENDING SECTION
17.01.050.12 OF THE CITY OF WILLIAMS MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING
UNITS AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE STATUTORILY EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE § 21080.17."
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
In recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, imerous bills that impose limits on local authority to regulate ADUs and JADUs. In 2024, th alifornia Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law, two new bills — AB 2533 and S 1211 — that further amend state ADU law as summarized below.
AB 2533 - Unpermitted ADUs and JADUs
Subject to limited exceptions, existing state law prohibits a city from denying a permit to legalize an unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, if the denial is based on the ADU not complying with applicable building, state or local ADU standards. One exception allows a city to deny a permit to legalize if the city makes a written finding that correcting the violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or the occupants of the structure.
AB 2533 changes this by: (1) expanding the above prohibition to also include JADUs; (2) moving the construction-cutoff date from January 1, 2018, to January 1, 2020; and (3) replacing the above exception with a requirement that local agencies find that correcting the violation is necessary to comply with the standards specified in Health and Safety Code section 17920.3 (Substandard Buildings). (See amended Gov. Code, § 66332(a)-(f).)
SB 1211 - Replacement Parking Requirements; Multifamily ADUs Replacement Parking
Existing state law prohibits the City from requiring off-street parking spaces to be replaced when a garage, carport or covered parking structure is demolished in conjunction with the construction of, or SB 1211 amends this prohibition to now also prohibit a city from requiring replacement parking when an uncovered parking space is demolished for or replaced with an ADU. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66314(d)(11).)
Multifamily ADUS
SB 1211 further defines livable space in connection with converted ADUs inside a multifamily dwelling structure. Existing state law requires the City to ministerially approve qualifying building- permit applications for ADUs within "portions of existing multifamily dwelling structures that are not used as livable space, including, but not limited to, storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages...." The term "livable space" is not defined by existing state ADU law.
SB 1211 changes this by adding a new definition: "'Livable space' means a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation." (See amended Gov. Code, § 66313(e).)
SB 1211 also increases the number of detached ADUs that lots with an existing multifamily dwelling can have. Existing state law allows a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling to have up to two detached ADUs.
Under SB 1211, a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling can have up to eight detached ADUs, or as many detached ADUs as there are primary dwelling units on the lot, whichever is less. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66323(a)(4)(A)(ii).) SB 1211 does not alter the number of ADUs that a lot with a proposed multifamily dwelling can have - the limit remains at two. (See amended Gov. Code, § 66323(a) (4).)
Next Steps & Recommendation
Both AB 2533 and SB 1211 take effect January 1, 2025. To remain valid, the City's ADU ordinance must comply with requirements imposed by AB 2533 and SB 1211. Adopting the proposed ordinance (Attachment 2) ensures that the City's ADU ordinance will be valid under AB 2533 and SB 1211.
On October 28, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed ordinance, and thereafter voted to forward the ordinance to the City Council with a recommendation in favor of its adoption (Attachment 1). On November 20, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing, waived the first reading and introduced the ordinance. Staff recommends that the City Council proceed in accordance with the recommended actions set forth above.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, CEQA does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Article 2 of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code, which is California's ADU law and which also regulates JADUs, as defined by section 66313. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that it implements state ADU law. ATTACHMENTS:

(E) For purposes of this subsection (e)(2), height is measured from existing legal grade or the level of the lowest floor, whichever is lower, to the peak of the structure.
(3) Fire Sprinklers.
(A) Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
(B) The construction of an ADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling. (4) Rental Term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days. This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created. (5) No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code section 66341, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot).

However, the owner- occupancy requirement in this subsection (e)(7)(B) does not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
(8) Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder's office and a copy filed with the City Planner. The deed 6 93939.00051\32452781.44
restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the city and must provide that:

(C) The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
(D) The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the City Planner, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact bee liminated. The City Planner may then determine whether the evidenc supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the City Planner's determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the ADU or JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU or JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.
(E) The deed restriction is enforceable by the City Planner or his or her designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy availabl to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunctior enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.

(B) Within 90 days after each January 1 following issuance of the building permit, the owner must report the actual rent charged for the ADU or JADU during the prior year. If the city does not receive the report within the 90-day period, the owner is in violation of this Code, and the city may send the owner a notice of violation and allow the owner another 30 days to submit the report. If the owner fails to submit the report within the 30- 7 93939.00051\32452781.44
day period, the city may enforce this provision in accordance with applicable law.
(10) Building & Safety.
(A) Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection (e)(10)(B) below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements.
(B) No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the building official or Code Enforcement Officer makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this subsection (e)(10)(B) prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section.

CITY OF WILLIAMS DATE: January 15, 2025
City Council ITEM #: 5.
Agenda Report CATEGORY: New Business
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION 25-01 ESTABLISHING THE CITY'S APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, the City must adopt an appropriation limit in conformance with Proposition 4, otherwise known as the Gann Limit. Proposition 4 and the subsequent Proposition 111, set forth the regulations for the calculations of the limit. This calculated amount limits the amount of tax revenue an entity may collect in any fiscal year. The propositions also discuss the mitigation required if an entity exceeds the limit in any fiscal year.
Should an agency exceed its annual Gann Appropriations Limit, the excess funds are to be returned to the State of California.
DISCUSSION:
Annually, the City may select either the population change in the City of Williams or the County of Colusa as one of the factors in the limit calculation. As it is beneficial to select the higher of the two numbers, the City has selected the population change in the County of Colusa.
FY2024-2025 Calculation
Using the prior year Gann limit of $8,644,374, the 2025 Limit is calculated by applying a 0% population change in the County of Colusa and the 3.62% increase in per capita personal income change. While the population change in the County of Colusa was a negative 0.4%, it is allowable to charge a 0% growth rate change for this calculation. This means that the limit would not increase or decrease due to population change, which is consistent with the purpose of the Gann limit to prevent appropriations from growing faster than necessary to meet the needs of a population. These population and per capita income factors were provided by the California State Department of Finance.
Please see calculation worksheet attached to the Resolution.
The resulting appropriation limit of $8,955,571 is greater than the projected 2024/2025 tax revenues detailed in the following chart:
FY2025 GANN Appropriations Limit 8,955,571
Tax Revenues Subject to Gann Appropriations Limit
Budgeted
FY2025
Property Taxes 1,467,292
Sales & Use Taxes 1,966,801
Local Sales Tax 1,057,678
Motor Vehicle in Lieu 605,813
Transient Occupancy Taxes 572,220
Total Budgeted for FY2025 5,669,804
Excess over Appropriations Limit 3,285,767
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact with the approval of these resolutions as the City's budgeted FY2025 tax revenues are well under the Gann Appropriations Limit.
RECOMMENDATION:
• Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 25-01 Establishing Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
