1.0 INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The purpose of this Hazard-specific Flood Response Annex is to provide a general description and overall concept of operations for the City of Willits response to flood emergencies. This Annex describes specific guidelines in place that will facilitate a City of Willits public safety response to areas affected by a flood emergency and detail how the City of Willits will coordinate operations with other jurisdictions.

This Annex also accomplishes the following:
• Identifies the emergency management organization required to mitigate any significant flood emergency or disaster affecting the City of Willits. • Identifies the specific responsibilities to protect the health and safety of City of Willits communities and its citizenry.
• Establishes the operational concepts associated with the organization of the field response, the City activities, and the recovery process in general.

A catastrophic dam failure (of the main dam structure), depending on the size of dam and population downstream, could exceed the response capabilities of local communities. If there is sufficient warning, mass evacuation of the inundation areas would be essential to save lives. Such an event is expected to massively disrupt utility, transportation, and communication infrastructure, requiring extraordinary effort and support from other local governmental and private organization, as well as from the State and federal government.

For flooding due to a Dam Failure, refer to each of the respective Dam Emergency Action Plans for specific information on the City of Willits and the Mendocino County Office of Emergency Services. The following Dams are a potential threat to the City of Willits:
• Scout Lake
• Morris – owned by the City of Willits
• Centennial – owned by the City of Willits
• Brooktrails 3 North (potential – inundation mapping not available) • Lake Ada Rose (potential – inundation mapping not available) • Chinquapin (only adds flow to the stream and is a lower hazard – only impacts property along stream)
Scope
Relationship to other Local/County Emergency Operations Plans This Hazard specific Flood Annex is used in conjunction with the City of Willits Public Safety Map. Together these form part of the City of Willits Emergency Operations Plan and are developed in coordination with the County of Mendocino Emergency Operations Plan, Dam Emergency Action Plans, and other Emergency Operations Plans such as the Little Lake Valley Fire Protection District, including their attachments.

Situation Overview for Flood Events
The City of Willits is in central Mendocino County (along U.S. Highway 101 – Redwood Highway), the City of Willits (Willits) has a population of less than 5,000 people. The City of Willits’ flood threat is primarily from the unlevied creeks that drain mountain ranges the west and south and dam failure from surrounding dams. The City is responsible for two dams: the Centennial Dam and the Morris Dam. Refer to Dam Emergency Action Plans for specific procedures.

There are several creeks that move through the city and drain in the northeast direction. The creeks originate in mountain ranges on west and south sides of town. The source of flooding is most often severe weather, including excessive rainfall. The city can experience both flash floods and slow-rise floods, characterized according to duration and intensity. Flash flooding is typically a short-term event resulting from short-duration, high-intensity, slow-moving thunderstorms. Slow-rise floods may be caused by a combination of excessive rainfall over a longer period and higher than normal releases from flood control dams. Slow-rise floods may be preceded by a warning, allowing for protective flood fight operations and communication to the public.

In Willits, heavy rains may cause the following creeks to overflow: Mill, Broaddus, Baechtel, and Davis Creeks. The creeks are not leveed and often overflow when vegetation overgrowth and debris in the creeks impede flow, or debris dams against existing bridges, causing water to back up and escape their banks. Localized flooding frequently occurs within the city due to undersized drainage facilities. Local drainage issues within the City result in “nuisance flooding,” in which streets or parking lots are temporarily closed and minor property damage occurs. Residential and mobile home areas impacted by flooding are identified on the City of Willits Public Safety Map.

Residential areas located south and west of Main Street are vulnerable to localized flooding as floodwaters will move northeast, until they reach Main Street. Floodwaters will back up against Main Street.

In the past, overflow from Baechtel and Davis Creeks have washed out sections of the access road to the sewer pond holding basin and destroyed a water data logger.

Willits has a dry-summer subtropical or Mediterranean climate. The mountains to the west along with a significant influence of mild Pacific air cause Willits to have a cool winter and hot day/cool night summer climate. Average January temperatures range from 32°F to 55°F.

Annual precipitation averages 51.7 inches. The wettest year on record was 1983 with 91.58 inches and the driest year on record was 2013 with 16.68 inches. The most precipitation in one month was 31.41 inches in December 1964. The most precipitation in 24 hours was 8.80 inches on December 22, 1964. There is an average of 94 days with measurable precipitation.

There are occasional snow falls in Willits each year, with an average of 3.6 inches of snow annually. The most snow in one month was 20.0 inches in December 1964.

Planning Assumptions for Flood Response
The following assumptions lay the foundation for preparation of this Annex and the Emergency Operations Plans and protocols that it references:
• Flood emergencies or disasters are most likely to occur in the fall, winter, and spring due to extended or extreme precipitation events. Melting snow and spring run‐off are secondary and less likely events to initiate a flood event. • Potential major flood emergencies or disasters in the City of Willits pose serious threats to public health, property, the environment, and the local economy. • Flood warning will be received by the City of Willits public agencies through a variety of means; the County of Mendocino, National Weather Service (NWS) announcements, State warning systems, California Data Exchange Center (CDEC), and National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) radiobroadcasts. Citizens will receive warning through multiple systems; standard radio, television, Emergency Alert System (EAS), Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) bulletins and MendoAlert. • Mendocino County Operational Area coordinates flood warning. • A major flood emergency in the City of Willits will require a multi‐jurisdictional response highlighting the need for effective field coordination and policy coordination at the City Emergency Operations Center and between neighboring jurisdictions/cities and the County of Mendocino.
• In flood emergencies or disasters, the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and National Incident Management System (NIMS) will be implemented by responding agencies and expanded, as necessary.
• The City of Willits through the Mendocino Operational Area and the Unified Flood Fight Command organizations will ensure efficient coordination of its response functions with the functions of the Cities, the Fire District, the County, State and Federal agencies operating in the area.
• Major flood emergencies or disasters may overburden local resources necessitating the establishment of effective mutual aid processes between neighboring jurisdictions and counties within pre-planned unified commands and operational areas.
• Major flood emergencies or disasters will generate widespread public and media interest. Effective working relations with the media must be maintained to facilitate emergency public information and warning.
• A major flood emergency or disaster may require extended commitments of the City of Willits personnel and resources; subsequently, the Continuity of Operations of the City of Willits services should be maintained.

2.0 CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
Regional Response
A key pre-requisite of flood planning and response operations that will be maintained by the City of Willits will be ongoing consistency within Mendocino County in regard to structure and content of local flood safety plans, structure and operation of pre-planned unified commands, flood response training requirements and formats, and structure and operation of mutual aid systems. This consistency enhances regional cooperation and sharing of Willits
October 2024 Page 6
information and resources in an essential rural area with less-than-optimal response resources in place. The City of Willits will participate in and help maintain regional coordination agreements and processes to ensure the maintenance of this consistency.

Response Considerations
The City of Willits is responsible for the public safety functions of warning, evacuation, rescue, shelter, and medical. Sound organization and conduct of these operations will depend on 1) efficient, integrated organization of field operations to address the limited resources available to local agencies, 2) thorough knowledge of local conditions affecting the conduct of such operations, and 3) close coordination with Mendocino County require knowledge of details of:
• Local road and highway conditions and the ability of public works agencies to maintain trafficability of such arteries.
• Unified Flood Fight Command organization and assignments to achieve the most efficient response.
• Population locations and characteristics that would affect warning and evacuation operations.
• Conditions in surrounding jurisdictions that would affect ability to evacuate and shelter populations.

To make sound public safety decisions and ensure effective response within the above responsibilities during a flood event, decision makers must ensure that the following are in place:
• Effective and complete jurisdictional response plans with key protocols and information displayed in the user-friendlier and more easily shared map format. • A clear and ongoing operational picture of the current and projected characteristics of flood flows within waterways, the status of local flood control infrastructure, and the status of response operations initiated by all jurisdictions either individually or jointly.
• A clear and unambiguous inter-agency and inter-jurisdictional command and control system that addresses the demands for joint decision making and policy making typically created by a flood event.
• A system both technical, material, and procedural that ensures ongoing communications between all involved public agencies and community-based organizations.
• An effective activation protocol to ensure that the command-and-control system is put in place in a timely manner and that responders are prepared to perform their duties prior to arrival of flood flows capable of causing flood damage or threats to public health.
• A protocol for ensuring a timely and effective transition to recovery operations.

Willits
October 2024 Page 7
General Approach to Seasonal Flood Operations
Within City limits, the following entities are responsible for flood drainage facilities and flood control structures, including canals:

City of Willits
‒ Services & Facilities Department
Not all rainy seasons produce flood events, and during the preparedness period, The City of Willits will assess factors such as past rain, reservoir levels, and current short-term, midterm, and long-term forecasts to determine the extent of anticipated operations.

During the rainy season, typically from October through May, staff from these agencies will conduct routine preparedness activities that contribute to flood fight operations. These activities include the inspection and monitoring of pump stations, maintenance of drainage canals, routine maintenance of levees, management of equipment, vegetation management, and removal of debris and sediment from drainage systems.

Additionally, in advance of the rainy season, representatives from the City will attend the annual flood preparedness meeting sponsored by DWR (which takes place during California Flood Preparedness Week). The City will meet among themselves in a pre-event coordination meeting, where they will confirm contacts and communication protocols, make any necessary changes to operational plans, share supply lists of flood fight materials, and discuss any specific priorities for the current season.

Concept of Operations – Jurisdictional Plans and Display Format Key jurisdictions (County, City, and Fire District) will maintain emergency operations plans in accordance with FEMA CPG 101 v. 2.0. Key response procedures and information will be maintained in a common system within the EOC.

Concept of Operations – Maintenance of the Operational Picture The City of Willits will ensure that the following information is collected and maintained prior to flood events:
• Nature and location of hydraulic features, such as lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, and sloughs and either are intended to carry flood flows or could carry flood flows in the case of failure of flood control infrastructure.
• Nature, location, and condition of flood control infrastructure, such as levees, pump stations, dams, diversion points, culverts, and drains. • Flood history, historic flood elevations, and historic flooding issues. • Points of past or potential vulnerability in flood control infrastructure due to seepage, erosion, excessively high-water elevations, or other condition exceeding flood control structure specifications.
• Topography and nature of flood flows from foreseeable failure of the flood control infrastructure.
• Elevation, location, and vulnerability of critical infrastructure to flood flows.

Willits
October 2024 Page 8
This information will be collected by the City and displayed on the GIS-based public safety maps that constitute the hazard-specific flood annex of their jurisdictional emergency operations plan (flood safety plan). Map GIS files and systems will be structured so that realtime information can be collected and displayed on maps and GIS displays as needed upon initiation of flood response.

Refer to the Public Safety Map for additional field level flood fight information.

Concept of Operations – Command and Control
The City of Willits will organize its flood response command and control system based on the following key assumptions:
• Jurisdictions will perform their functions in accordance with established plans. • The multi-jurisdictional nature of flood response requires a unified command field organization to complement the higher level multi-jurisdictional operational area system.
• Key tactical decisions (whether to evacuate, how to address a flood control structure problem, how to contain flood waters, etc.) will be made in a field environment due to the need for rapid decision-making and the fact that the information or expertise needed to make those decision are found in the field, in proximity to the infrastructure impacted by floodwaters.
• Policy decisions, overall tracking of the operational picture, and recovery operations and decision making will occur at the operational area level in the City EOC.

Based on those assumptions the City of Willits will maintain the below key components to its overall command and control system;
• All jurisdictions will have and implement a protocol for unambiguously assigning a single incident commander to supervise their jurisdictional operations. The City of Willits will ensure that all jurisdictions implement this protocol at the time of flood warning coordination.
• The City of West Willits will maintain a single unified flood fight command organization to direct and control both flood fight (failure, prevention, or containment of flood flows) and public safety tactical operations (physical warning, evacuation, rescue, etc.) in the field. All jurisdictions with field response functions will participate in this unified command to ensure coordination of all activities taking place in the field.
• The City of Willits will maintain an emergency operations center (EOC) capable of 1) maintaining an overall operational picture, 2) ensuring prompt joint policy decision making, and 3) providing planning/intelligence, logistics, and administrative support to the unified command operating in the field.

Willits
October 2024 Page 9
Concept of Operations – Inter-agency and Inter-jurisdictional Communications Individual jurisdictions will be individually responsible for maintaining a plan and necessary equipment for effective internal communications between their administrative components and staff.

A multi-jurisdictional communications plan will be developed and maintained through the Unified Flood Fight Command. This plan will be recorded on the ICS 205 form and shared as part of Unified Flood Fight Command operations. Preparation of this plan will include collection of current telephone numbers, identification, and assignment of available communications systems to inter-agency coordination needs, and assignment of responsibility for maintaining communications systems. The City of Willits will be responsible for ensuring this is completed as part of unified command activation.

Concept of Operations – Activation of Flood Response Command and Control Systems The City of Willits will maintain a protocol, located in the Appendices section of this annex, to ensure the timely and effective activation of the above command and control systems. This protocol will include triggers for initiating discussions on activation of unified commands and mutual aid systems. Triggers will also be in place for activation of the operational area facilities and processes. The protocol will include key steps to be taken to activate these systems. This activation protocol will be maintained on the Unified Flood Fight Command GIS maps (activation of unified command) and the Flood Contingency Maps.

Concept of Operations – Recovery
The City of Willits will commence Recovery operations at the onset of an incident, as necessary. This protocol will include oversight of the transition of jurisdiction incident commanders to staff more appropriate for supervision of recovery operations (if appropriate), transition of unified command structure and processes to the needs of recovery operations (e.g., inspection of damaged buildings), and debris removal and damage collection and documentation plan.

Phases of Operations
This annex will be implemented in phases as outlined in the following:

Flood Normal Preparedness
The City of Willits Departments having emergency responsibilities assigned in this Annex prepare their own operating procedures and checklists for a flood emergency that include coordination strategies with other departments and jurisdictions. The City of Willits will maintain these procedures. These activities will be performed in accordance with written criteria for periodic review and updates.

The City of Willits will participate in ongoing regional coordination activities with the County of Mendocino to ensure consistency of flood safety plan, unified command, and mutual aid structure and content within the region.

Normal preparedness activities will also include a periodic audit that jurisdictions are Willits
October 2024 Page 10
updating their plans in accordance with their plan criteria and a periodic review of this Annex and the Unified Flood Fight Command protocols.

Flood Increased Readiness
At the beginning of flood season City Departments will work in conjunction with other local jurisdictions, including Mendocino County and the Fire District to implement flood preparedness activities reflected in their respective department and jurisdictional emergency operations plans and begin pre-planned monitoring to evaluate information and initiate appropriate response. For the City of Willits this would also include review of unified command protocols, systems, and preparations to ensure that “just-in-time” flood response training can be expeditiously provided to local responders.

The City flood monitoring is comprised of observing specific areas around the city and those are reported to the Services & Facilities Director and Police Department for monitoring throughout the rainy season. Those key areas are as follows:
• East of ACE Mendo Mill at East Commercial Street, North Lenore Avenue • Broaddus Creek bridge at East Commercial Street
• East Valley Street from South Lenore Avenue to eastern City Limits • Wagon Wheel Mobile Home Park (Manor Way and Elm Lane) • Walnut Avenue from South Main Street to the eastern end • Blosser Lane at Franklin Avenue
• Railroad Avenue at East Valley Street South to Barbara Lane. • Manor Way at Alder Court
Flood Emergency Preparedness
When it is determined through monitoring of pre-established trigger conditions that a potential flood situation is a matter of "when" rather than "if," the City of Willits will implement the following actions:
• Confirm and monitor formal designation of jurisdictional incident commanders as agencies reach pre-planned trigger conditions for this action. • Ensure that the EOC is opened in a timely manner and that jurisdictional plans can be expeditiously implemented.
• Confer with Mendocino County to identify and activate appropriate unified commands to coordinate field response.
• Initiate “just-in-time” flood response training for local responders that have not had minimum required training prior to the event.
• The City will register volunteers in the Disaster Service Worker program as appropriate.
• Provide information to Mendocino County, City Departments, and other local jurisdictions such as the Fire District as to the threat, potential flood severity, and areas affected.
• Advise Departments to report actions planned or taken, and anticipated deficiencies in critical emergency resources.

Willits
October 2024 Page 11
• Prepare to receive or render mutual aid.
• Keep Departments and authorities promptly notified of any changes in the operational picture.

Flood Emergency Phase
When water elevations or conditions arrive that could cause flooding, the City of Willits emergency organization will perform the following broad functions as required to cope with the specific operational situation:
• Develop and maintain an overall operational picture
• Activate EOC and response plans
• Mobilize, allocate, position, and assign personnel and materials in accordance with area plans and unified command decisions and objectives • Protect, control, and allocate vital response and community public safety resources • Restore or activate essential facilities and systems
• Participate in unified command organizations established to coordinate field response among involved public jurisdictions
Implementation of the key jurisdictional flood response plans such as the City of Willits Emergency Operations Plan are coordinated through joint protocols of the Unified Flood Fight Command and the Mendocino Operational Area. When local resources of these key jurisdictions and other public safety agencies are committed to the maximum and additional materials and/or personnel are required to control or alleviate the emergency, requests for mutual aid will be initiated through the Unified Flood Fight Command to the Mendocino Operational Area EOC.

Flood Recovery Phase
The recovery phase of an emergency or disaster is defined as restoring a community to its pre-disaster condition. More realistically, recovery is the process of re-establishing a state of normalcy in the affected areas. The location, magnitude and effects of the incident will determine the specific approach to recovery operations following a flood disaster.

Assistance may be needed or required for an extended period. Flood recovery activities would include:
• Removal of debris to include clearance of roadways
• Demolition of unsafe structures
• Re‐establishment of public services and utilities
• Provision of care and welfare for the affected population including, as required, temporary housing for displaced persons
• Care of animals and disposal of carcasses

3.0 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Overview
This discussion of agency and jurisdictional responsibilities only addresses those Willits
October 2024 Page 12
responsibilities most relevant to the City of Willits flood response plans. Discussion of general agency responsibilities are found in the City of Willits Emergency Operations Plan.

City of Willits
The City is responsible for managing public safety response in the incorporated area and the City of Willits has the lead role in flood operations to support the City field Incident Commander to coordinate and integrate all response operations together with the City of Willits Police Department, Mendocino Operational Area, the Little Lake Valley Fire Protection District and any additional significant jurisdictions, as necessary.

Listed below are City of Willits departments that have a role during a flood response.

Community Development Department
The Community Development Department (CDD) advances the development of Willits by providing a comprehensive approach to planning and infrastructure that meets the needs of all segments of the community and facilitates responsible, high quality and well-planned growth.

Services & Facilities Department
The Services & Facilities Department is responsible for inspecting and repairing city-owned infrastructure. Services & Facilities is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and emergency repairs of the City’s infrastructure. Personnel from this agency may assist in flood fight and traffic control activities when requested by the City of Police Department. Services & Facilities personnel may assist with the operation of heavy equipment.

The Services & Facilities Department may be responsible for making sand and sandbags available for distribution to the public. If the City makes sandbags available to the public, sandbags will be distributed on a 24/7 basis in locations publicized during the incident based on pre-established protocols.

Office of Emergency Services (a division of the Police Department) OES provides technical expertise and overall coordination among city agencies, executives, departments, and outside agencies for emergency planning and response. This office is a part of the City of Willits Police Department and is responsible for activating and staffing the EOC.

In an emergency, OES provides information and support to the EOC Director, and provide verified information from flood response partners relative to situation status, prognosis, and evacuation recommendations.

OES is the communication and coordination link to the Mendocino OA. In an emergency requiring coordination with the Mendocino OA, requests for resources and formal information will flow between OES and Mendocino County OES.

Police Department
The Police Department has primary responsibility for coordinating the physical movement of persons during an evacuation. During an event necessitating evacuation, the Police Department will designate an Evacuation Coordinator to coordinate evacuation activities according to the City’s Evacuation Plan. The Police Department will designate and enforce Willits
October 2024 Page 13
egress routes and control access to threatened areas by establishing checkpoints at key locations around the disaster area. When possible, personal contacts to key facilities are made by the Police Department.

City Manager’s Office
The City Manager (or designee or successor) serves as the Director of Emergency Services and, when the City EOC activates, as the EOC Director (henceforth referred to as Director).

In this capacity, the Director has the authority to activate the EOP and direct the emergency management organization and resources of Willits. During a flood emergency, the Director is the entity authorized to order an evacuation of threatened areas within the City’s jurisdiction.

The City’s primary Public Information Officer (PIO) is a member of the City Manager’s Office.

Little Lake Fire Protection District/Willits Volunteer Fire Department The Fire Department has primary responsibility for conducting search and rescue operations and provides fire protection and emergency medical services to the City of Willits.

Mendocino Operational Area
Mendocino County Office of Emergency Services acting as the lead agency for the Mendocino Operational Area takes the lead role in coordinating resource management and information flow among all local public authorities in Mendocino County that have a role in flood response. The Operational Area is the contact point for State of California response agencies.

Importantly, the Mendocino Operational Area will also establish and support, in conjunction with surrounding counties a unified flood fight command among established local jurisdictions to integrate and coordinate field response operations of all public jurisdictions to more efficiently accomplish field response objectives.

The Mendocino OES acting as the Mendocino Operational Area lead will support the operations of the Unified Flood Fight Commands. Mendocino OES will also maintain the Disaster Service Worker program and work with jurisdictions to ensure that volunteers and other appropriate emergency staff are appropriately registered in the program upon activation or recruitment.

Willits Unified School District
The Willits Unified School District maintains evacuation plans and family reunification plans for families within the district. If a flood emergency requiring evacuation of its facilities occurs during school hours, the district will notify parents. Any public messaging is coordinated with the City EOC.

California Office of Emergency Services
The California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES’s) mission is to oversee the State’s ability to respond to emergencies that threaten lives, property, and the environment.

Government Code § 8587, gives them the authority to coordinate the emergency activities of State agencies and to delegate power for response once local resources are exhausted. Cal Willits
October 2024 Page 14
OES supports local emergency operations through the respective Cal OES Regions.

Mendocino County reports information and resource needs to the Inland Region.

California Department of Water Resources – Flood Management The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Division of Flood Management’s mission is to prevent the loss of life and reduce property damage caused by floods. The Department Flood Operations Center in Sacramento will provide technical expertise and flood fight resources to local agencies through Cal OES mission tasking protocols in response to requests from local operational areas.

DWR staff dispatched to the field from any DWR unit will work through the East and West Side Unified Flood Fight Commands to ensure coordination of DWR activities with other response functions occurring in the city.

Federal Emergency Management Agency
The primary purpose of FEMA is to coordinate the response to a disaster that has overwhelmed the resources of local and state authorities. The Governor of California must proclaim a state of emergency and formally request FEMA and federal government assistance to respond to disaster from the President. FEMA's Region IX, Operations Section in Oakland, CA works closely with Cal OES to deliver federal assistance in support of local and state response efforts. Region IX has a Regional Response Coordination Center (RRCC) that serves as the federal government’s emergency coordination center. Within the RRCC, the Watch Center provides situational awareness for the entire Region IX area of responsibility. The Watch Center is a 24‐Hour, seven‐Days‐Per‐Week function that maintains SA of incidents and provides FEMA Headquarters and Region IX with information on resource coordination to local, state, and federal agencies.

Private Sector Construction/ Equipment Companies
Construction and/or large equipment companies needed during flood response and recovery efforts will be obtained by the public agency with responsibility for the problem that these private vendors are assisting. Procurement procedures and standard contracting forms and documentation protocols are contained in the emergency operations plans of all public jurisdictions to ensure that such contracting can be done expeditiously by the appropriate jurisdiction. Any existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with private vendors to provide resources during a disaster response are on file with the City of Willits.

Such existing MOUs will be maintained at the offices of the jurisdiction, which established them.

4.0 MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
City of Willits Emergency Operations Center
The City of Willits maintains and hosts the emergency operations center (EOC) located at the following location:
• City of Willits Police Department - 125 E Commercial St # 150, Willits, CA 95490 This EOC supports City operations, at the time of a flood emergency. EOC functions include prioritization and allocation of resources including mutual aid, information sharing, and conduct coordination processes in accordance with the Mendocino Operational Area and the emergency operations plans of local jurisdictions. The City organization in the EOC will also Willits
October 2024 Page 15
provide command and general staff support to the established unified flood fight command directing field operations.

The City Planning/Intelligence Section will provide disaster situational status upon activation in an emergency. Mendocino County will participate as needed in this disaster information sharing process.

Unified Flood Fight Commands
The City of Willits and other public jurisdictions involved in flood response will establish a unified flood fight command to direct and coordinate field response activities. This unified command is established and operated according to the Unified Command Map (see Appendix E – Mendocino Unified Command Map).

Public Alert and Warning
The City of Willits will promptly notify the City of Willits Police Department and Mendocino County Office of Emergency Services upon identification of a threat to the city. The City will provide detailed information on the characteristics of the threat and will assist, to the extent possible with notification of the public if requested through the City Willits-Alert Reverse 911 System and/or Emergency Alert System (MendoAlert), as requested and to media outlets. The Unified Flood Fight Commands will conduct all field alert and warning of the public as established under the coordination of the Mendocino Operational Area.

The City Public Information Officer (PIO) is activated as soon as practical during an emergency. The PIO may want to consider establishing a Joint Information Center (JIC) with all participating jurisdictions to coordinate with media for news releases. News release procedures will be agreed upon and established for the City and with the Unified Flood Fight Commands.

Evacuation
Certain flood threats to the city, as they grow in severity, may require evacuation of the public. Examples of these flood threats may include:
• Dam failure advisories for the dams potentially affecting the city. • High water with the potential for flooding populated areas.

Additionally, Administrative personnel of the School District will be notified by the Evacuation Coordinator of an impending or actual emergency to ensure that information on the emergency conditions are shared in a timely manner to the district’s decision makers. If evacuation of public schools is required, the School District will implement its notification, evacuation, and family reunification plans. Parental notifications will occur via predesignated methods. Student evacuations are facilitated using school buses to transport students to other schools outside of the risk area, where their parents can pick them up.

If a flood emergency necessitates evacuation outside of the City’s jurisdiction, the evacuation efforts are coordinated with the Mendocino County OA through the Unified Flood Fight Command. If the event requires further evacuation outside of the County, the out-of-area evacuations are coordinated with adjacent OAs through the Mendocino County OA.

These systems include cellular telephones, public safety radio systems, the Internet, and scheduled meetings of the Mendocino County Operational Area management group.
• Unified Flood Fight Command
A multi-jurisdictional communications plan will be developed and documented on the ICS 205 form to ensure effective communications between jurisdictions. The Mendocino OES will ensure that this plan utilized upon activation of the unified command.

National Weather Service (NWS)
The NWS provides notification releases to media outlets and to public agencies. They use standard terminology for watches and warnings:
• Flash Flood Watch means it is possible that rain will cause flash flooding in specified areas.
• Flash Flood Warning means flash flooding is either imminent or is occurring. • Flood Watch means long term flooding is possible in specified areas. • Flood Warning means long term flooding is either imminent or is occurring.

6.0 ADMINISTRATION
State and Federal Disaster Assistance
The City of Willits policy is to maintain mitigation and emergency plans and procedures, at the level required to be eligible for disaster assistance under the federal Stafford Act and the California Disaster Assistance Act. Emergency operations will be conducted and documented in compliance with conditions of those programs for reimbursement of disaster expenses.

Flood Damage/Safety Assessment
Flood Damage/Safety Assessment is the basis for determining the need to request state and/or federal operational and financial assistance. The Initial Damage Estimate is developed during the emergency response phase to support a request for a Governor’s proclamation and for the State to request a presidential declaration.

Willits
October 2024 Page 17
For the City, the detailed damage/safety assessment will be coordinated by the City EOC and in coordination with affected special districts, if requested. The administrative and operational divisions of special districts will, in most cases, complete the damage assessment for their respective areas of responsibility and will communicate that information to both the City and the Mendocino OA.

Documentation
Documentation is the key to recovering eligible emergency response and recovery costs.

Damage assessment documentation will be critical in establishing the basis for eligibility of disaster assistance programs. Under the California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA), documentation is required for any flood damage sustained to the following:
• Public buildings
• Flood control works
• Irrigation works
• City streets
• Bridges
• Other public owned facilities (i.e., city drainage facilities) Under federal disaster assistance programs, documentation must be obtained regarding flood damages sustained to:
• Roads
• Water control facilities
• Public buildings and related equipment
• Public utilities
• Facilities under construction
• Recreational and park facilities
• Educational institutions
• Certain private non‐profit facilities
Flood debris removal and flood emergency response costs incurred by the affected entities should also be documented for cost recovery purposes under the federal programs. Flood debris removal will be conducted in accordance with the Mendocino Operational Area Debris Removal Plan to ensure that all applicable federal and state eligibility requirements are met.

It will be the responsibility of the City of Willits to collect documentation of these damages and submit them to the City’s Finance/Administration Section.

Damage documentation should include the location and extent of damage, and estimates of costs for: debris removal, emergency work, and repairing or replacing damaged facilities to a non‐vulnerable and mitigated condition. The cost of compliance with building codes for new construction, repair, and restoration will also be documented. The cost of improving facilities may be provided under federal mitigation programs.

Documentation is the key to recovering expenditures related to emergency response and recovery operations. For each jurisdiction and special district, documentation must begin at Willits
October 2024 Page 18
the field response level and continue throughout the operation of their Emergency Operations Center as the disaster unfolds.

7.0 ANNEX MAINTENANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
The City of Willits is responsible for overseeing the development and maintenance of the City of Willits Hazard-specific Flood Response Annex. The City Police Department and OES are responsible for periodic review of this Annex to determine the need for revisions or updates.

Flood Related Training and Exercises
The City of Willits coordinates with Mendocino County, other neighboring jurisdictions, and the state and federal governments for all hazards training and exercises on an ongoing basis to test and validate emergency policy plans and procedures. At least once a year such training and exercises shall focus on flood hazards and flooding.

The City of Willits is a participant in the Mendocino County Training Program and will support this region-wide protocol for ensuring effective flood response through common training standards and the provision of multiple training sources including just-in-time online training applications. This Program uses a careful analysis of probable incident complexity that local agencies would need to manage to identify needed training standards.

This Program also uses the unique warning aspects of flood events to provide a number of formats and approaches to providing responders with the flood-specific training necessary for effective response, to include “just-in-time” training resources. All jurisdictions formally adopt both SEMS and NIMS and these training standards through the adoption of their jurisdictional emergency operations plan.

The City of Willits has access to the Just in Time Training Program. The Just in Time Training Program is designed to provide essential levee patrol, flood fight, and SEMS/NEMS training for the emergency flood response worker where extreme time constraints apply. This course is made up of five modules each addressing a different topic. Videos can be watched in any order. Recommended videos are also organized by position. Videos can be accessed here:

Notes:

Special Considerations
City of Willits WWTP Ponds
The City of Willits Wastewater Treatment Facility is in a vulnerable location, and steps should be taken to protect it in the event of high water. The wastewater ponds are impacted during high intensity storms If the facility is impacted, the valve on East St. should be closed to prevent any more sewage from entering the plant and wastewater backup. The pumps at the waters should also be shut off to slow resident effluent. The sewer collection system can help store up to 2 days of effluent. This time can be extended by shutting off the water at the water wells. If resident water use is restricted, portable bathrooms should be brought in to supplement.

Wastewater can also be trucked to the City’s Spray Fields and Ponds if necessary.

Evacuation and Shelter
Evacuation routes shown on this map are a bank of options. Evacuation routes, selected at the time of the emergency, should be coordinated with the City of Willits Police Department to ensure consistent message between the two jurisdictions.

Primary evacuation route is:_____________________ moving __________________ bound Secondary evacuation route is:___________________ moving __________________ bound Traffic Control Points will be set along roads intersecting with Main Street between Sherwood Road and HWY 20, as appropriate. Traffic control points may be staffed by City Public Works, County, Police, and/or volunteer personnel.

Secured Area Ingress Controls
Movement may be necessary into areas secured due to evacuation. Ingress of public safety vehicles (law, fire, EMS) will be controlled by Incident Command. Ingress of the following two types that will be controlled with a pass system operated by Security Group/Division.

Type I: City and County personnel performing traffic control, public safety functions Type II: Citizens/Residents participating in evacuation activities.

Pass issuance policy will be set by City Incident Commander.

Following general procedures are in effective as of __________ __________ Date Time

1.0 Regional Unified Flood Fight Command System and Manual The Little Lake Valley Flood Safety Unified Flood Fight Command completed in 2020 identified two key flood response preparedness objectives of 1) improving coordination between public safety agencies and flood response agencies and 2) making regional mutual aid and information sharing more efficient. The limited staff and equipment available to local jurisdictions in this region makes these meeting these objectives of critical importance to effective flood response. The Little Lake Valley unified command system developed by stakeholders from:

City of Willits, City of Willits Police Department, Little Lake Fire Protection District, and Mendocino County Office of Emergency Services. This Manual is the basis for the development of a series of “pre-event reference” Unified Flood Fight Command Maps for each distinct and interdependent flood control basin in the region. These maps display the unique command and control protocols for each basin within standard protocols and formats defined in this Manual. These GIS maps can then be modified as necessary and used to support the operations of actual unified commands established at the time of a flood emergency.

2.0 Regional Command and Control Situation and Constraints Limited staff, large areas of responsibility, and significant differences in day-to-day functions makes flood response agencies in the Little Lake Valley region is a key constraint that primarily determines how NIMS and SEMS concepts are effectively implemented in the region. These constraints limit the organizational and procedural complexity that can be effectively implemented by these jurisdictions. Therefore, simplicity of organization and flexibility in implementation become key requirements of any unified command and coordination process established in this area.

3.0 Little Lake Valley Unified Flood Fight Command
Incident Command System (ICS), National Incident Management System (NIMS), and Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) guidance all provide for the creation of “unified commands” to facilitate inter-jurisdictional coordination. ICS guidance specifically notes that use of the unified command concept “applies ICS concepts to incidents involving multiple jurisdictions or agencies with jurisdiction for managing the “incident” and further “enables institutions and agencies with different legal, geographic, and functional responsibilities to coordinate, plan, and interact effectively.” At its most basic level, a unified command organization consists of the Incident Commanders from the various jurisdictions involved in a response operating together to form a single overall command structure for field operations.

In accordance with that State and federal guidance, the Little Lake unified flood fight command is intended to facilitate 1) improved internal and external information flow between local agencies and state/federal support agencies, 2) more efficient use of scarce staff and material resources within the region, and 3) more effective achievement of the response objectives of individual jurisdictions participating in each command. Flexibility in unified command implementation will address the crucial differences in geographical jurisdiction, staffing, resources, and operational constraints in the region.

4.0 The Standard Basin Unified Command
County, city, and special districts will combine into clearly identified unified commands at the time of flood warning as dictated by the circumstances of the threat. The exact composition of any one unified command will therefore be determined at the time of flood warning. However, this Manual describes Willits

Page 2 ends

“standard basin” unified flood fight commands for the purpose of developing pre-event reference unified command maps and facilitate final necessary adjustments. The proposed membership and command boundaries of this “standard basin” command may be retained or more easily modified once the circumstances of an actual emergency are known. Regardless, membership and boundaries of actual commands established in a response should be determined by geographical, hydrologic, and jurisdictional considerations. Standard coordination procedures and information unique to this basin displayed on the reference map can then be used to guide the operation of the subsequent unified command regardless of its final composition.

The “standard basin” unified command organization is shown in Attachment 1. A fillable organizational chart is displayed on the complementary GIS-based command map so that the actual command composition decided upon can be displayed. Outside state and federal agencies responding under mutual aid to assist with response will interact with local response activities through these established unified commands to ensure effective overall coordination.

5.0 Activation of Unified Commands
Actual composition of any activated unified command will be determined at the time of flood warning. The standard basin command may be used or modified as called for by the circumstances. Jurisdictional assignment to a unified command will be determined by the characteristics of the threat and an evaluation at the operational area level of jurisdictional coordination needed for the most effective response.

An activation process must therefore be clearly defined to ensure the timely identification and organization of needed commands. This process consists of 1) use of specific triggers for initiating operational area level discussion on needed commands and their membership, 2) assignment of a lead jurisdiction within each established unified command to facilitate subsequent command activities, 3) notification of member jurisdictions and confirmation of contact information, 4) modification (if needed) and issuance of the pre-event reference unified command map, and 5) time and procedure for initiating unified command activities.

A summary of this activation process along with the specific activation triggers will be displayed on the unified flood fight command maps. In addition, a text box for recording members of the command and their contact information at the time of activation will be on the map. These maps can then be used to guide subsequent command operations.

6.0 Unified Command Organization and Management
The Unfired Flood Fight Command will maintain a common basic organization and terminology and key operational procedures to facilitate communications between different commands and sharing of resources. This will also assist with integration of outside agencies responding under mutual aid into local operations and prevent confusion or frustration with outside agencies or citizens dealing with more than one element of the regional flood system.

Lead Agency Assignment and Streamlined Command Functions The UFFC will identify one member agency to facilitate unified command operations. This lead agency will provide a “deputy unified commander” to facilitate command meetings and communications.

Assumption of this role by an agency does not imply any added legal or financial responsibility or jurisdictional authority.

Unified command staff functions, such as planning/intelligence, will be performed by operational area emergency operations center staff where such functions are already established. Tactical facilities (e.g., field command posts) and communications systems already established by members of the command for their internal use will be used by the unified command to perform its activities. Maximum flexibility in how command functions are implemented (e.g., selection of meeting locations or methods) will be maintained.

Flood Response Management
Agencies will designate a single incident commander to manage response to reported flood problems. All individual problems (e.g., a backed-up storm drain, bank overflow, etc.) occurring within the area of responsibility will be considered a single disaster event and will be managed as a single “incident complex” by this single incident commander. However, each specific problem site will be named and designated in accordance with ICS protocols for the purposes of tracking resources applied to that site and subsequent response costs for purposes of disaster recovery and financial aid.

Public Safety Operations Field Organization
Public safety agencies will establish a single incident command structure for their response functions covering the entire boundary of the unified command in order best use their limited staff. This will maintain organizational simplicity. A common basic structure for organizing these functions using preestablished ICS position nomenclature will be maintained across regional unified commands to facilitate mutual aid and efficient integration of outside resources into local operations.

Standard Incident Command System Checklists and Forms
Several generic and standard ICS forms have been developed to facilitate development of joint unified command action plans. These forms are shown in Attachment 2. Availability of these forms will be referenced on command maps to facilitate ready access and use.

Secured Area Entry Control Protocols
Entry control is complicated in floods by the fact that a simplistic “evacuate and deny entry” approach can lead to un-necessary loss of property and high levels of frustration with residents. In addition, the level of risk presents up to an actual flood is difficult to quantify and is usually arrived at with a prominent level of subjectivity by officials and residents, often with different results.

It is also often the case that residents are in a safe situation but isolated due to the flooding of a neighboring but separate area. Further, it is possible that certain areas within the unified flood fight command may be impacted, while others are not. Therefore, some thought should be given to how traffic, ingress/egress controls are set up.

Willits

Therefore, a simple, reasonable, and enforceable entry control system is needed to meet the dual public safety agency objectives and partnership with residents.

Attachment 3 provides a decision-tree and forms that will allow the unified command to classify areas threatened by flooding according to a well-defined public safety status system.

Determination of such a well-defined public safety status for each distinct jurisdiction within the unified command level will ensure consistency of entry restrictions and requirements within the unified command boundaries and provide flexibility in implementation. Assignment of a public safety status determines the level and conditions for entry into distinct areas.

The standard entry control forms, decision-tree, and pass template are shown in Attachment 3.

Unified Flood Fight Command Maps
Standard unified command activation, organization, coordination, and communications protocols will be displayed on “pre-event” reference unified flood fight command maps along with basin specific information relevant to inter-jurisdictional coordination and command operation. The GIS files for these reference maps are structured to facilitate their rapid modification at the time of the emergency as needed. Standard data elements for each map have been determined and are listed in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Flood Emergency Mapping Technical Memorandum.

7.0 Coordination between Unified Flood Fight Commands
Operational areas will determine the process for coordination between neighboring unified commands once they are established. General coordination protocols will be included in county flood-specific annexes identifying criteria and processes for direct inter-command communications and coordination of commands through operational area emergency operations centers. A neighboring flood fight command is in Lake County.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
From: Leiloni Shine, Contract Planner
Agenda Title: TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING PRIOR TO THE FORMAL ADOPTION OF THE EAST COMMERCIAL STREET CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN.

Type: Presentation Consent Regular Agenda Public Hearing Urgent Time: 15 min Summary of Request: At the February 28th meeting, the City Council accepted the East Commercial Corridor Master Plan after a presentation by Sam Bickel of Terrain Landscape Architecture. The February 28th meeting was not noticed as a dedicated public hearing and to ensure the maximum value of the Plan to support subsequent grant opportunities, staff advises there is a need to have it formally adopted. Since February 28th, staff made no changes to the document.

Our team of consultants and staff intend to use the document as a baseline for the City’s forthcoming submission to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) funding program. The Plan’s strong emphasis on pedestrian elements and connecting community facilities and nodes will strengthen the application.

Attached is the final version of the plan.

Recommended Action: Conduct the public hearing and adopt the accompanying Resolution. As noted in February, the City Manager has the responsibility to assign the task of administrating the E. Commercial Street Corridor Master Plan to the Community Development Department. The Department needs to integrate Plan’s administration with its long-range planning programs and ensure its consistency with the General Plan and zoning provisions.

Alternative(s): None.

Fiscal Impact: Staff closed the financial portion of the project with the final project cost being $46,596.

Personnel Impact: Minimum staff as needs to maintain the Plan and explore ways to implement its recommendations.

Identified City Council Conflict of Interest: The Plan recommends improvements for Bud Snider Park and for the Corridor. Mayor Rodriguez and Councilmember Stranske own property and business interests within 500 feet of the park and Mayor Rodriguez also owns property fronting E. Commercial Street. A Two recently prepared opinions from the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) confirmed the existence of the conflict of interests and advised the two members are advised to refrain from the discussion.
2021 Adopted Goals: This item helps to achieve Goal #1 for Public Works…Maintain and improve infrastructure systems of water, wastewater, public facilities and streets capable of managing future growth while responding to current City needs.

California Environmental Quality Act: Not applicable. However, several project elements may require a CEQA determination when implemented.

This Item Relates to the following General Plan Element : N/A Land Use Circulation Conservation and Open Space Noise Housing Public Services and Facilities, Parks and Recreation Economic Development

EAST COMMERCIAL ST CORRIDOR - OUTREACH AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT | iii

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report represents an initial step by the City of Willits in developing a holistic perspective along the East Commercial Street Corridor (ECSC). This report’s area of study stretches from Main Street to Highway 101. Our objective is to identify critical areas of improvement and provide actionable recommendations with a phased approach that fits the City of Willits in both scope and investment.

Through meeting with City staff, data collection, and community outreach, we have developed a report that represents the existing conditions along East Commercial Street, provides recommendations for development, and accounts for the community’s input. The focus areas were identified as creating connectivity, promoting safety, and activating the existing amenities and businesses, focusing on signage, aesthetics, streetscape, athletic field expansion, conservation, and access.

An inventory of the existing conditions was established through on-site and remote data collection, including GIS, historical records, and news reports. The ECSC has been split into three sections based on their land use categories. Within these sections, we focused on the condition of existing amenities, the built environment, and hazards.

To address these conditions, we have developed six categories of design recommendations: Streets, Gateways, Parking, Park Facilities, Lighting, and Destinations. We have identified improvement elements within each category; our suggestions are based on the existing conditions and community feedback.

Street improvement elements include aesthetic improvements, such as planting and alternative pavements, and structural improvements for traffic calming. Raised crosswalks and traffic calming measures are recommended throughout, with a focus on the East end. We also recommend that streetscape improvements at the West end of the corridor be built to improve connectivity to the Main Street corridor. Overall, the community supported traffic calming measures, raised sidewalks, and streetscape improvements in that order.

Gateways are areas of transition that can be improved to provide visitors with clear directions down the ECSC. Areas for strategic signage implementation have been identified at the land use transition zones mentioned above. We recommend the city develop a signage package to improve the ECSC's character and connectivity to the greater City. Residents wanted new lights and banners, as well as signage.

Parking facilities in Willits are largely unshaded. We recommend the city develop standards and incentives to promote planting trees in parking lots. Community members focused on striping improvements at the East end of the ECSC.

Park facilities recommendations were split into multiple categories, both existing and proposed. This includes but is not limited to playground and restroom facilities upgrades, basketball courts, shelters, gathering spaces, and community gardens. We recommend that most of the existing playground and restroom facilities be upgraded. Creating shelter and shade will also improve the character of the parks. The community focused on shade, lighting, and facilities upgrades.

Lighting is a significant concern across the ECSC. Improvements to sports fields, pedestrian, and street lighting are recommended. The community comments focused on sports field lighting, dark sky-friendly lighting, and crosswalk lighting.

Improvements to existing destinations ranged from relocating the farmer’s market to creating a new civic center, public art, and public murals. Public art, murals, and making an urban square were desired during the community meeting.

This report is a comprehensive start for future efforts along the ECSC. Using the analysis, recommendations, and public comments in this document will enable the City of Willits to pursue plans to unify the ECSC with the downtown core, increase public safety, and promote its existing businesses and amenities. iv | TERRAIN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

INTRODUCTION
Along its historic blocks through decades of changes, the East Commercial Street Corridor (ECSC) has been a vital spine of civic life and commerce for Willits. The importance of the ECSC started in the early 1900s. Around this time, the original train depot was constructed at the present-day railroad crossing. The Northwestern Redwood Company would establish its office across the tracks, which is still standing as part of the Sparetime Supply Company. This was quickly followed by the Carnegie Library, which was dedicated in 1915, and the new train station, which now houses the Skunk Train Depot.

Civic life in Willits blossomed along East Commercial with the establishment of Recreation Grove Park in 1906 by the Willits Women’s Improvement Club. City Park, now called Snider Park, was established shortly after. The Willits Rodeo Ground held its first Frontier Day in 1927 at the end of East Commercial Street. In the 1970s, the new Willits Library and the Mendocino County Museum opened at the end of East Commercial Street. Roots of Motive Power was established shortly after in 1982. Finally, the 1990s saw the establishment of the Willits Soccer and Baseball Complex, a mainstay of recreational activities for Willits and the surrounding area. This complex has seen field improvements, parking lot improvements, and the development of a skate park.

The ECSC has changed dramatically over the last 100+ years. Civic, economic, and residential growth has expanded significantly, making it a place where people of all backgrounds gather to live, work, and play. Unfortunately, this organic growth occurred piecemeal, without a holistic vision or direction for development. Creating a plan that recognizes the importance of the institutions, businesses, and civic infrastructure along the ECSC will increase tourism, promote safety, and create a unifying character.

This report is the initial step in this endeavor. Within these pages, you will find an inventory and assessment of the existing conditions along East Commercial Street and recommendations for improvements.

The existing conditions inventory will highlight safety concerns, amenities, and the conditions of built elements owned by the City of Willits. It will attempt to organize this information around a framework of three sections along East Commercial Street using extensive onsite and remote data collection. Our recommendations are presented as a description of possible improvements applied to prescribed areas along the ECSC.

The Master Plan Design Concepts portion of the report takes the information gathered during our existing conditions work, public outreach sessions, and staff meetings into a series of designs and solutions that will enable the City to further engage with the public, pursue the projects herein, and explore funding opportunities within the community and beyond.

AREA OF STUDY
The East Commercial Street Corridor (ECSC)
Outreach & Development Report covers
the East Commercial Street corridor from
Main Street to Baechtel Creek. This study
does not strictly adhere to property lines. We
are concerned with the general land use
immediately adjacent to the corridor and what
can be seen from the corridor, including parks.

The City of Willits contracted Terrain Landscape
Architecture (TLA) to conduct an on-site analysis of
the corridor in April 2023. TLA conducted extensive

AREA OF STUDY
data collection and research into the history of
Willits and the civic spaces within the study area.

In the area of study, portrayed in the diagram
above, TLA performed an inventory of
the existing conditions, analyzed the built
environment, and provides recommendations
for future development based on the
opportunities and constraints that arise in
the ECSC Outreach & Development Report.

The land uses within the Study Area include
recreation, civic, residential, commercial,
and industrial lots. Using land use data, TLA
has identified three sections along the ECSC
that will frame the organization of the ECSC
Outreach & Development Report and its
design recommendations. See the diagram
above for the extent of Sections A, B, and C.

The transitions between Sections A, B, and
C are visually and functionally disjointed.

residential use zones along ECSC. Industrial
and commercial zones characterize the
transition to Section B before returning to
Section C's primarily civic and recreation zones.

Each section offers distinct challenges,
conditions, and approaches. For example,
Section A, which stretches from Main Street to
the railroad tracks adjacent to the Skunk Train
Depot, requires streetscape improvements,
destination considerations, and facility
improvements. Section B is between the
railroad crossing and Lenore Street. Section B
creates a visual and typological barrier along
the ECSC that will require special consideration
with wayfinding and street treatments to invite
visitors through Section B and into Section C.

Section C is from Lenore Street to the city
limits. Section C requires strategic planning to
meet the growing need for park facilities in Willits.

Refer to the existing conditions analysis
of the ECSC Master Plan Report for a
detailed analysis of Sections A, B, and C.

City Park is located along ECSC, bordered
by N Humboldt St, N Marin St, and State St.

Built in the early 1900s, it has undergone
many revisions and iterations, with updates
when funding allows. It features magnificent,
mature evergreen trees and some youngadult trees in good condition. Unfortunately, many historic trees have been removed,
leaving much of the park unshaded (F1.1).

The public bathroom features male and
female sides entered through opposite
building ends. Short, barbed wire fences
have been constructed on top of the CMU
walls to limit access to the roof, leaving
it an uninviting aesthetic. The overall
condition of the bathroom could be
better. It needs renovations or rebuilding.

The existing playground features a Gametime
MRC play structure and miscellaneous play
implements. Features for both fine and gross
motor play are present. However, the play
structure is at the end of its lifespan. The
play surfacing is also old and degrading.

The park does not feature a shelter of any
kind. Parts of the concrete paving are spalling
and deteriorating (F1.7). A trip hazard is on
the park’s west side along N Humboldt,
adjacent to a demolished bus station. The
park does not feature any noticeable lighting.

The park features ample trash and recycling
receptacles, a bike station, and a bus
station. The Willits Centennial Monument
was dedicated at the park's center in 1988.

City Hall / Police Station 3
City Hall is in a repurposed grocery store
building. It houses multiple departments
of Willits, as well as a community center
and council chambers. It shares a parking
lot with the Police station. The parking lot
does not feature trees or landscaping.

Imagination Station Preschool 4
Consisting of two buildings, seven classrooms,
and an outdoor playground, the Imagination
Station Preschool provides enriching activities
and learning opportunities to early learners in
Willits. The public right of way in front of the
Preschool presents several hazards, including
heaving sidewalks and abandoned curb cuts.

backcountry of Mendocino County to the
coast, the Skunk Train continues to operate,
carrying passengers along its scenic routes.
cutouts that will not support the health of
mature trees (F1.3). A raised planter along
the building has been covered with mortared
flagstone, though cutouts were provided for
two Nandinas, leafy evergreen shrubs (F1.4).

The police station sign, located on the East
side of the parking lot, is in poor condition
and is in the process of being replaced.

Section A is a powerhouse of civic function
but needs more comprehensive landscape
planning that supports a connected
public realm. Various civic programs have
grown organically in a few buildings that
vary significantly in their architectural
typologies. Additionally, corridor elements
such as street paving, tree planters,
and sidewalks are deteriorating (F1.5).

Section A would greatly benefit from a Civic
Master Plan that links the civic buildings
along the ECSC with a unified approach to
traffic control, planting, tree preservation,
memorization, and public use spaces.

The current depot replaced the original in
1915. The original depot was constructed
in 1901 and was located across the
street in what is presently a parking lot.

The adjacent streetscape along E Commercial
and Madden Lane needs to be in better repair
and presents several hazards. The sidewalk
at the corner of Commercial and Madden is
interrupted by an old delivery bay curb cut,
which is not ADA-compliant. The sidewalk in front
of the depot is also heaving and needs repair.

An existing black chain link fence surrounds the
Skunk Depot itself. There is a lack of streetscape
plantings. There is no ADA access path
between the parking lot and the building entry.

The adjacent railroad tracks do not have
a safe pedestrian crossing. In addition, the
existing asphalt is spalling, deteriorating,
and missing noticeable sections.

at the Broaddus Creek Bridge on East
Commercial Street. Although infrequent,
flooding has been seen running over the
creek bank and onto North Lenore Street.

There are abandoned curb cuts (F2.1)
located directly across the street
from Mendo Mill / Ace Hardware.

There is a lack of consistent elements of trees

The entire park experiences periodic
drainage issues, where most of the park is not
navigable during the wet months of the year.

The basketball court is not regulation size
and is in poor repair. Like Bud Snider Park,
the playground equipment and safety
surfacing are at the end of their life spans.

The picnic structure has peeling paint and
lacks finish on exposed wood surfaces.

The bathroom is serviceable. Access
was limited at the time of assessment.

In 1989 the Willits Library moved out of
the Classical Revival Carnegie Library
facility to its current location and features
public computers, free Wi-Fi, print and
copy machines, special events for all
ages, and a seed lending library bank.

The Willits Library entry lacks appropriate
entry signage and wayfinding. The library
streetscape and plantings are sparse and
tired. The street islands located in front
of the library are barren. Landscaping
areas adjacent to the entry (F3.4+F3.5)
are mostly bare and only contain a
layer of mulch, trees, and some shrubs.

The adjacent asphalt drive, which leads
to the Willits Public Works Yard, is severely
gatoring and is need of resurfacing/

Roots of Motive Power is an all-volunteer
organization founded in 1982 to preserve
and restore steam and diesel-powered
equipment used in the northern California
coast logging industry from the 1850s
to the present. Roots of Motive Power
is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Roots of Motive Power lacks clear signage and
wayfinding, like the other institutions along
Area C of the East Commercial St corridor.

In addition, the historic artifacts along the
street are difficult to see and access (F3.9).

The trees on the E Commercial St side prevent
the building from being seen from the street.

As it stands, it is concealed from visitors.

Designed by Wormhoudt Inc. and completed
in 2004, the 18,500 square-foot Willits skatepark
includes an eight-foot bowl and multiple
street obstacles. The Skate Park became the
first in Mendocino County and can be used
year-round except during inclement weather.

The skatepark lacks lighting and shelter.

Located at 600 East Commercial Street and
home to the Willits Youth Soccer League and
the California District 35 Willits Redwood Little
League team, the Willits Youth Soccer and
Baseball complex is an excellent resource
for local youth. It includes a perimeter
walking path which is heavily utilized yearround. Located near the Willits dog park and skatepark, the complex is a vital resource for
recreation for the entire Willits community.

The existing restroom facilities do not
meet capacity during events. This park
lacks a playground for gross motor play.

Providing activities for users of all ages
and abilities is essential to creating usable
parks for the entire community. The
sports fields need additional seating for
events at the baseball and soccer fields.

Lighting is absent in the sports complex,
along the paths, and the sports fields.

EAST COMMERCIAL ST CORRIDOR - MASTER PLAN | 26
This leg of East Commercial Street
exhibits some of the same conditions
as the previous two. The streetscape
infrastructure lacks planting, wayfinding,
lighting, and traffic-calming improvements.

The streetscape planting is either tired
and needs rejuvenation or missing entirely.

Several areas in planters are missing plants,
or the selected plants should be replaced
with more appropriate material. Due to
the flooding along East Commercial Street
at this location, several planters had the
mulch material washed out (F3.1). There are
treatment options for this condition of periodic
flooding, including groundcover plants that
will do a better job of holding mulch material
and heavier mulch that will not wash off.

No lighting exists in this parking lot or
streetscape (F3.2). Adequate lighting is
Practice Fields South Complex 7
essential for security and pedestrian safety.

As mentioned in the previous sections,
wayfinding is a prevalent issue, especially
at this end of the corridor. As a result,
it is difficult to identify the location and
presence of the institutions and facilities.

Traffic calming is a significant concern
in this area. A recent traffic study shows
that around 30% of vehicles exceed this
section's 30 mph speed limit. Reducing
vehicle speeds through design and
structures would create a safer corridor.

Section C Analysis Summary
Overall, these fields appear to be in poor
condition. The facilities and buildings that
service them are in poor repair (F3.10). The
adjacent restroom is in poor condition and
is not usable. There is no clear pedestrian
path from the parking lot to the fields.

Pedestrian paths should be installed to

Creating safe pedestrian cross-street access
is a major goal of this planning exercise.

We have identified multiple locations along
E Commercial St that would benefit from
new or upgraded pedestrian crossings.

Another objective is improving the livability and
walkability of the E Commercial St corridor. We
want visitors to turn down Commercial, drive to the
institutions, and park at the East terminus. Unified
wayfinding, improving streetscape infrastructure,
creating an identifiable character, increasing
pedestrian safety, and creating flexibility of
uses, are all factors that need to be considered.

Gateways can provide clear visual cues that
draw visitors into and through the city. These
transition points are an essential component
of wayfinding, which helps visitors navigate
through the area. Providing gateways between
Main Street and the East end of Commercial
Street will help link these areas and guide
people from one destination to another.

Management and designing parking areas in lots
or on streets are integral to downtown planning.

Considering existing and new parking provides an
opportunity to meet the needs of visitors traveling
to the area and increases the attractiveness
and appeal of these challenging spaces.

Lighting is crucial in public areas, including increased community safety, crime prevention, improved
aesthetics, and multiple economic benefits.

Parks are the backbone of civic life, providing
an area for all citizens to interact through shared
activity and spaces. Improving these facilities
benefits residents’ health and wellbeing.

Identifying and considering possible new
destinations for the City of Willits was a primary
directive for Terrain. Through meeting with
the city, we have identified several locations
that have the potential to contribute to
the character and enjoyment of Willits.

STREETS, ALLEYS, AND CROSSINGS
A streetscape is the totality of built elements
between vehicular thoroughfares and building
facades. A streetscape has many layers,
including parking, bike lanes, planter strips,
street trees, light poles, sitting places, hanging
baskets, and sidewalks. This interface between
public streets and buildings broadly defines
the character of a city to everyone passing
through. It can provide charm and setting.

The most present part of a modern streetscape,
trees provide countless benefits to cities and
have been shown to improve the health
and well-being of residents. Below are some
quick facts on the impact of urban trees:
• Trees increase commercial property resale
values by +/-15%-20%
• Trees improve business incomes +/-12%.
• Commercial districts that have trees have
lower crime rates.
• Urban trees reduce rainfall intensity by up to
52% and reduce runoff by 7%.
• Mature urban trees can lower a downtown’s
summer heat/temperature by 5-15 degrees.
• For each $1.00 invested in the urban forest
(planting of trees) there is a return of +/-$3.00.

Planting strips act as a frame for the street
and bring a natural element into an otherwise
hostile environment. Planter strips don't only
have to function aesthetically; they can
also integrate vital stormwater infrastructure,
providing increased stormwater retention,
collecting and treating stormwater pollution,
and lowering ambient heat for pedestrians.

Plants are typically designed to be lowmaintenance, utilizing hardy plants with low water requirements. Low, evergreen spreading
plants are preferred to fill out the available space.

Hanging basket programs have become
a popular way for cities to increase the
aesthetics of their downtown. Baskets usually
contain perennial flowers and are maintained
by the City staff or community volunteers.

At a minimum, paving should be scored
concrete. Special paving, like permeable
pavers or alternate concrete finishes, is often
used in special locations to delineate an
alternative use, entry, crossing, or refuge.

Hanging Baskets
Alternative Paving / Materials
Planter boxes provide a more vertical element
for the streetscape as an alternative to
planting strips or are used in conjunction.

They can have trees, shrubs, or perennials.

Raised planters can also be designed as
an aesthetic alternative to vehicle barriers.

Normally used in urban and residential areas, traffic
calming measures are physical features that reduce
vehicle speed. By reducing speed, and in some
cases traffic, the road becomes safer for all users.

A speed hump is a vertically rounded
raised area of pavement that keeps speeds
down by requiring drivers to reduce speed.

1. With as little industry as we have left in this town.

The last thing we need on this street is to make
restricted truck traffic by making smaller lanes
or turns that a 43' semi trailer can't travel. In
the near future, 53' semi trailers will be coming.

2. Fix Bridge at Lenor Ave.

3. As far as speed bumps, the one on West
Commercial is a disaster. Everyone hates it.

The one on Humboldt it good.

4. Must maintain commercial access for all
commercial vehicles.

5. A new post office needs to be build on the
corner of Main St and West Commercial St.

The existing Post Office has hardly any parking
and 3 intersections make it dangerous.

6. Seems like all crossings in Willits need fresh
paint. In parking areas too!

7. I live a block from Commercial St. For me there
are too many cars racing down Commercial
St as well as E Valley. Would like to see some

Gateways / Transition Points
Gateways, or transition points, use a variety of
elements in the public realm to guide visitors through
the city while providing clear destination points
and wayfinding. Leading visitors through and to
each gateway along E Commercial St is one of the
foundations of this study. This wayfinding provides
clear visual keys that, through materials and
design, link key destination points along the route.

There is no apparent link between Main St and the
recreation complex located at the East end of
Commercial St. We intend to create clear visual
elements that will guide visitors down Commercial
to discover the varied amenities at its terminus.

GATEWAYS / TRANSITION POINTS
The first gateway is located at the
intersection of S Main St and E Commercial
St. Currently, there is no indication of all of
the amenities located along E Commercial.
• Provide signage and wayfinding at the
intersection.

This gateway transitions between Section
A and Section B in our zoning diagram. It
is an important location for wayfinding the
E Commercial Recreation Complex, as
it appears only to contain industrial and
commercial establishments from this point on.
• Provide wayfinding signage and
information kiosk adjacent to the Skunk
Train parking lot.

The final gateway marks the entrance to what
we are calling the E Commercial St Recreation
Complex. This location would function to mark
as a final transition point and would contain
signage directing visitors to all the amenities
located along the remainder of E Commercial St.

The most prominent and easiest way to improve
wayfinding is to provide clear signage at each
transition. These signage elements should have
a clear and consistent visual motif that reflects
the city’s character while giving readable
instructions, directions, and information.

Willits has a unifying element and motif in the
Gateway to the Redwoods sign. It provides a
great starting point for other signage designs.

Information kiosks can be interactive or
non-interactive. In this setting, they would
provide essential information, wayfinding, and

parks now provide critical ecological habitat,
promoting biodiversity, while also promoting
biodiversity, providing green space, and
improving the quality of our air and water.

The history of parks in Willits begins in 1906,
with the founding of Recreation Grove Park
by the Willits Women's Improvement Club. The
club purchased land along Baechtel Creek to
provide residents with respite and gathering.

Since its founding, the park has grown and
improved. The dance pavilion was added in
the early 1920s, increasing the park's popularity
for gatherings and events. The WPA built a
rock amphitheater in the 1930s. After years of
disrepair, the park was revitalized in the 1980s
and continues to be a popular destination.

The sports fields, located to the East of Recreation
Grove Park, began as youth sports fields adjacent
to the Willits Rodeo Grounds. Then, in the early
1990s, Bud Snider, a city council member,
made it his mission to create a place for the
youth of Willits to gather safely and have fun.

The park’s creation was a community
effort, with donations of furnishings, gravel,
concrete, fencing, and more offered by
the community. Volunteers spent countless
hours making Snider's dream a reality in 1998.

In 2004, the skate park was constructed. In
addition, new youth fields and a dog park
were built on the north side of Commercial.

The park is used year-round by residents and
visitors, with a peak during Frontier Days in July.

throw a disc at a target using rules like golf.

Public gathering spaces provide space for
social interaction, community building, cultural
expression, and recreation and can play an
essential role in sustaining democracy. Public
gathering spaces create a venue for people
to unite and engage in political discourse
and debate. This is particularly important in
countries with democratic systems where
public opinion and participation are essential
to the functioning of the political system.

Growing in popularity during the pandemic,
pickleball is a sport that combines tennis,
badminton, and ping pong. The game is played
with a paddle and ball on a small court with a
lowered net. It is played in doubles or singles.

Like tennis, the ball is hit over the net, with the
objective of preventing your opponent’s return.

It is a low-impact sport that is easy to learn and
can be adapted to both indoor and outdoor
environments.

Providing space for multi-generational activities
bring people of different age groups together,
providing a variety of benefits, including promoting
understanding and respect, sharing knowledge
and skills, building community bonds, reducing

improvements to Snider Park are as follows:

The youth fields, dog park, and skatepark facilities
are some of the most popular park facilities in
Willits. They represent the most modern facilities.

We recommend the following interventions:

To meet the increased demand for sports
fields, it is recommended that the city develop
this area into an additional baseball field
and improve the adjacent restroom facility.

Improvements to pedestrian circulation,
facilities, bleachers, and field surfaces.

Currently, part of the Willits Facilities Yard,
this triangle of land has access to Broaddus
Creek and could provide residents with
an area of creek access. By creating
gathering spaces and pedestrian circulation,
we can allow the residents of Willits to

Using solar power for outdoor lighting can bring
numerous benefits to a city. First, it is a renewable
energy source, which can reduce a city's carbon
footprint and promote sustainability. Also, solarpowered lighting can significantly reduce energy costs, as solar-powered lights do not
require grid electricity. Because solar lights do
not have to be grid-connected, they can be
relatively easy to install and maintain, saving time
and resources. Finally, solar lights can enhance
safety and security in public spaces that are
difficult to reach with traditional power sources.

SOLAR POWERED LIGHTING
Light pollution can significantly impact wildlife,
disrupting natural behaviors such as migration
patterns, feeding, and reproduction. Also,
excessive artificial light can negatively affect
human health and degrade the aesthetic
quality of natural nightscapes. In response, many
areas have designated Dark Sky Reserves to
preserve the night sky and reduce light pollution.

Several measures can be taken to reduce
light's impact on wildlife and dark sky reserves.

Firstly, outdoor lighting should focus on reducing
glare and light spillage, using fixtures that direct
light downward and shields that limit light
emission to the intended area. Secondly, the

DARK SKY FRIENDLY LIGHTS
color temperature of outdoor lighting should
be considered, with warm white lights (around
2700K) being preferred over cooler blue lights
(over 5000K), as they have been shown to have
less impact on wildlife. Finally, motion sensors
and timers can be implemented to ensure
outdoor lighting is only used when necessary.

Lighting can be a powerful tool for highlighting
community features and creating a sense of place.

By illuminating key landmarks, buildings, or public
spaces, lighting can draw attention to important
community assets and help residents and visitors
feel more connected to their surroundings.

Using bollards for pedestrian lights offers several
advantages over traditional pole lights. First,
Bollard lighting is significantly cheaper than
conventional pole lights because of the reduction
of material, engineering, and labor costs during
installation. Second, bollards are more compact
and can be placed closer to the pedestrian
walkway, providing more targeted and focused
lighting. Third, bollards are more durable and
resistant to damage from weather or accidents,
making them a more reliable option for lighting.

Overall, using bollards for pedestrian lights offers
a range of benefits, from increased safety and
visibility to enhanced aesthetics and sustainability.

BOLLARD PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING
city's unique identity and cultural heritage.

Crosswalk lighting is critical to pedestrian
safety. Proper lighting illuminates the crosswalk
for pedestrians. Also, it provides motorists with
an essential visual cue to help them identify
pedestrians and reduce the risk of collisions.

Properly lit crosswalks also help promote pedestrian
activity by making walking more accessible and
safe, especially for vulnerable populations like
children, older adults, and people with disabilities.

There is a wide range of products that can be
utilized at crosswalks. Options include overhead
streetlights, in-road lighting, and pedestrianscaled lighting. Traditional streetlights can be used to illuminate crosswalks. These lights
are usually mounted on poles above the
road, providing a broad illumination area. Inroadway lighting systems use lights embedded in the pavement to create a lighted crosswalk.

Typically, low-level LED lights flash or remain
steady to increase visibility. Finally, pedestrianscale lighting systems use taller poles to create a more focused area of illumination. These
lights can be mounted at or near the crosswalk
and are designed to provide pedestrians with
more lighting while reducing light pollution.

Sports fields with lighting have several benefits
that make them a worthwhile investment.

Lighting allows for extended playtime, enabling
athletes to practice and compete during early
mornings or late evenings when natural light is
insufficient. Lighting can increase the usability
and flexibility of sports fields by allowing multiple
teams to use the same space at different times.

Landscape lighting, such as tree up-lights and
planter accent lights, provide a range of benefits
to a city, from improving aesthetics and safety
to promoting economic growth. Tree up lights
can enhance the beauty of trees and other
landscaping features in public areas, making
them more visually appealing and attractive.

LANDSCAPE LIGHTING

LIGHTING ART
Special lighting experiences can draw users
through to key areas along the ECSC. Custom
light art can highlight gateways, special events,
and civic use spaces. Light art can enhance the
visual appeal of public spaces, making them more
attractive and inviting for residents and visitors alike.

In addition, it can create unique and memorable
experiences contributing to a city's cultural identity.

PUBLIC GATHERING LIGHTS
When lighting public gathering spaces, broad
illumination for large areas is essential. Using a
novel lighting approach to meet that need will
highlight spaces intended for public use, either
permanently or temporarily. A popular option is
bistro lights. Bistro lights create a warm and inviting atmosphere by providing a sense of scale and
intimacy to large public spaces. This encourages
people to spend time in the space, even after
dark. They can also create a festive atmosphere
for special events, such as festivals and street fairs.

Novel lighting experiences can stimulate
economic growth. Lights can attract more
people to public areas, encouraging them
to spend time and money at nearby cafes,
restaurants, and shops. This can help stimulate
local economic growth and generate more
revenue for small businesses in the area.
landscape lights can help stimulate local
businesses and promote economic growth.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
EAST COMMERCIAL ST CORRIDOR - MASTER PLAN | 62

LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS
The first step to achieving a unified
lighting experience along the ECSC
is choosing street lighting that will
extend the full length of the corridor.
• Uniformly place pole streetlights along the
entire ECSC and choose a lantern-style
pole light that reflects the character of
Willits.
• Use pole banner signage, primarily in
Sections A and C of the ECSC.
• Reduce light pollution by considering a
shielded or low intensity fixture.

Create an aesthetically pleasing and
vibrant nightscape through the use
of landscape lighting and light art.
• Add tree up lights to the existing mature
trees along the ECSC in Section A.
• Add accent lighting to raised planters as
they are installed along the ECSC.
• Highlight the three transition gateways
identified in the ECSC Community Outreach
and Program Development report with
light art. A versatile and economic
option is sidewalk projectors that can be
programmed to display many colors and
patterns.
• Provide a lighting strategy for the existing
memorials along the ECSC.

Welcome visitors into public gathering
areas with novel lighting experiences.
• Provide many available outdoor outlets for
temporary event lighting in the adaptive
use parking lots, Snider Park, and the Willits
Rodeo Grounds.
• Identify key areas along the ECSC where
dining can be lit with bistro lighting.

Additional lighting will be needed along
pedestrian-only routes. In the past,
cities traditionally utilized pole lights
to fill this need; however, many more
lighting options are available now.
• Ensure that all park paths are uniformly lit.
• Chose a standard lighting option to be
utilized on all public pedestrian paths.
• Consider reducing energy use by choosing
a lighting option that is solar and/or LED.
• Reduce installation costs by choosing a
bollard lighting system.
• Reduce light pollution by choosing an
automated light system.

Civic spaces foster social connections by
providing neutral ground where people from
different backgrounds and communities
can interact with one another. These social
connections break down social barriers and
help promote a sense of unity in communities.

Civic spaces include parks, community centers,
libraries, plazas, public markets, gardens,
museums, and galleries. These spaces house the
cultural wealth of communities. They are open to
the public and provide opportunities for all people.

Civic spaces can be multi-purpose, and in

As designers, we are often consumed by a need
to provide something new and modern. This
influence blinds us to cultural references within
the communities we serve. At Terrain, we believe
in creating touchstones within proposed designs
that reference the history and culture of an area.

For Willits and much of the West Coast, logging
and railway history is undeniable. By referencing
these design elements, we can create grounded
spaces that profoundly relate to communities.

Public art is an integral part of a city's cultural
landscape and has numerous benefits for the
community. Some benefits include beautification,
cultural enrichment, social engagement, and
economic development. Public art can also
inspire and educate residents to think about
and engage with their surroundings in new and

The civic infrastructure of Willits, comprised
of its departments and council, has a home
inside the repurposed Purity Grocery Store.

This space is shared with the Community
Center and does not provide a sense of
destination or actual "seat" for the municipality.
• Utilize the vacant lot at the corner of
Commercial and Main to create a civic
campus to house all of the departments
of the City of Willits, as well as the police
department and its fleet yard. This would
increase the productivity of the City and free
up the Community Center for other civic
functions.

Increase the library’s presence on the ECSC
with a small gathering space. In combination
with improvements to the adjacent institutions,
there is an opportunity to activate a recreation
complex along the ECSC.
• Activate the library frontage with a plaza,
new plantings, and signage.

The County Museum suffers from the same
treatment as the Library and Roots of Power;
it does not have a presence along East
Commercial. To bring in visitors, we envision
creating a row of community gathering spaces
incorporating new signage, art, and plantings
to draw in visitors.

Roots of Motive Power preserves the history of
the timber industry in Mendocino County by
protecting the antique machinery that shaped
it. Roots has over fifty different types of machines,
not counting individual units, on display around
the youth fields and along its street frontage.

There is a massive opportunity to display
this history and inventory along the East
Commercial Street corridor. By creating
a public "Motive Power Plaza" on the East
Commercial side of the museum, we could
better tell the story of the timber industry in
Mendocino. This plaza could incorporate the
existing machinery and be informed by the
forms and functions of the industry through its
overall design. This plaza could also connect to
the Skunk Train, celebrating these two railwayfocused institutions that call Willits their home.

The existing Community Center can be
repurposed to provide more space for members
of the Willits community to congregate and
interact. Moving the departments of Willits
to a new location would achieve this within
the building by freeing up those spaces for
classrooms, meeting rooms, and storage.

The Community Center's parking lot could
be converted into a more pedestrian-friendly
adaptive-use parking lot that can host events,
such as farmer's markets, conventions, and
concerts. Creating a better pedestrian
connection to City Park would also allow
events to spill over into that space, activating
Commercial Street in new and exciting ways.

Reinventing the Skunk Train's presence
on the ECSC would help to draw
visitors further down the corridor.

OVERVIEW
Street Section A East Commercial Street Street Section B This report unveils the East Commercial
Street Corridor (ECSC) Master Plan—a
comprehensive strategy to redefine and enrich
the urban environment surrounding Snider Park,
Recreation Grove Park, the Mendocino County
Museum & Library, Roots of Motive Power,
and the North and South Sports Complexes.

In response to the design opportunities
identified in Chapter 2, Existing Conditions,
the overall appeal, and safety of the ECSC
itself are proposed to be updated with green
infrastructure and complete street standards.

Several districts are identified based on zoning
and usage to create a more intentional
user experience along the ECSC. Design
improvements are recommended for each
district to enhance the existing character of
the space and create a street experience that
better relates to other portions of the ECSC.

This design strategy begins at Snider Park,
where a unified Civic Core is forged, seamlessly
integrating Snider Park, City Hall, and the Fire
and Police Stations. To beckon pedestrians
through the industrial zone between The Skunk
Train and Mendocino Community College,
this portion of the ECSC will undergo a street
diet design approach that prioritizes green
infrastructure and pedestrian safety. This
greener Industrial Core will flow effortlessly to
Recreation Grove Park, which will be preserved
as the "Green Heart" of the ECSC. Recreation
Grove adopts a low-impact design ethos,
prioritizing increased park usability while
keeping its mature oaks and naturalistic charm.

Opposite Recreation Grove, the Museum,
Library, and Roots of Motive Power will
undergo street frontage updates to establish
a cohesive and commanding presence as a
Cultural Center along the corridor. The sports
fields will undergo a strategic reorganization
at the corridor's terminus to meet the growing
demand. The Sports Complex will be purposefully

EAST COMMERCIAL STREET

OPEN HOUSE
The City of Willits is moving into the 2nd phase of the East Commercial Street Corridor (ECSC) development and outreach project. This phase of the project will introduce design concepts to address many community requests along the ECSC including; park enhancement, pedestrian access, streetscape improvements, and tourism support. Visions for this ¾ mile stretch of the ECSC will seek to create a master plan for the ECSC that recognizes the importance of parks, pedestrian access, public sites, and businesses aiming to increase tourism, promote safety, and create a link with Main Street.

You are invited to participate in either of the two public input sessions that will be held on Wednesday, October 18th at 11:30am and 5:30pm. Following a brief introduction, attendees will be able to browse and respond to multiple exhibits that visualize the current schematic design for the ECSC. Your insights and opinions are essential as we gather public comments on the upcoming ECSC Master Plan Design.

MASTER PLAN DESIGN CONCEPTS

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The concepts in this plan were generated as part
a public process that invited residents to give input and feedback through a series of community workshops hosted by The City of Willits and Terrain Landscape Architecture. Over the course of three community meetings, around 70 people,
including students at Baechtel Grove Middle
School, were able to make their voices heard.

Participants were presented with boards containing initial concepts and precedents. They were given notes for comment and "dots" to
mark aspects of the design that they found especially moving. They were also provided with small plans of each area of focus to notate additional feedback and design their ideal space.

In gathering this feedback, we were able to integrate the following comments into the design:

STREET
• Identify which crosswalks are flashing crosswalks versus speed tables. • Maintain access of semis, lumber, and emergency vehicles. • Use native plants for street frontage.
• Add more plantings

SNIDER PARK
• Save the Merry-Go-Round.
• Utilize the City Parking lot for the Community
in After-Hours.
• Don't cut down any more trees.
• Love the splash pad.
• Add Chess Tables.
• Include ADA inclusive swings.

REC GROVE PARK
• The current stage works well. Increase level
area for dancing in front of stage.
• Add opening to community garden.
• Tree, shade, access to public space. Not too
much concrete added.
• Preserve the Trees!
• Remove Amphitheater Mound.

MUSEUM ROW
• Roots - Love the entrance, very inviting.
• Add flashing lights on crosswalks.
• Add EV charging station to parking lot.
• Add Restrooms behind museum for rented
space.
• Add access to the creek.
• Keep existing trees - especially Redwoods!

SPORTS - UPPER
• Add trail loop to creek behind library.
• Add benches by playground.
• Add speed table at crossing.
• Shaded bleachers.

SPORTS - LOWER
• Upper field should be full-sized for teens.
• Rebuild the existing snack shack.
• Add lights.
• Food trucks - Yes!
• Like the parking changes for safety + better

Our primary focus for street interventions is
increasing safety along East Commercial Street
by implementing Complete Streets solutions.

Complete Streets are designed to enable
safe use and mobility for all users. This
applies to people of all ages and abilities,
whether in a car, bicycle, or on foot.

Throughout our discussions with staff and the
community, the speed of travel along East
Commercial has been a concern. This Street
acts as an avenue of access for industrial users,
people who live outside of Willits proper, and those
who are utilizing the institutions located along

MASTER PLAN DESIGN CONCEPTS

STREET TYPOLOGIES
A Speed Table is a vertical traffic calming
device, typically used midblock. Traffic
calming is achieved by raising a vehicle's
entire wheelbase to reduce its speed. The
device consists of a long, raised speed hump
with a flat middle section and ramps on
both ends. This is similar to a Speed Hump,
often 3-4" high, but longer and flat-topped.

SPEED TABLE

STRIPING
Bumpouts are horizontal traffic-calming devices.

The intention is to physically and visually narrow the
roadway, creating a shorter and safer pedestrian
crossing distance. When installed midblock,
these are also known as Pinchpoints or Chokers.

Space between bumpouts can
be used for on-street parking.

An added benefit of installing bumpouts or
similar curb extensions is creating landscape
space for street trees and other plantings,
increasing the appeal of the streetscape and
the permeability for stormwater management.

BUMPOUT
When a Speed Table is used at a crossing
or crosswalk location, it becomes a Raised
Crosswalk. Distinctive materials such as pavers can
help highlight the Raised Crosswalk and increase
its visibility for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians.

RAISED CROSSWALK
To increase visibility of crosswalks, striping is an
important tool. Crosswalks can be striped as
wide or wider than the connected walkway to
allow pedestrians to pass comfortably while
crossing. High-visibility striping in a ladder or zebra pattern is preferred over the more traditional
crosswalk striping, outlined with two parallel lines.

EAST COMMERCIAL ST CORRIDOR - MASTER PLAN | 84

MASTER PLAN DESIGN CONCEPTS

STREET TYPOLOGIES
Improved intersections combine a variety of
vertical and horizontal measures to slow traffic
and increase safety. Key elements include striped
crosswalks, high visibility signage, and curb
extensions or bumpouts. Increasing visibility and
clarity for motorist, pedestrians and bicyclists.

An increased understanding of the inevitable
impacts of development on stormwater runoff
has led to significant improvements in how
we think about stormwater management.

Low Impact Development (LID) uses an
integrated system approach to stormwater
management and protection of water quality.

LID uses or mimics natural systems to manage
runoff as close to its source as possible, and
incorporates practices such as bioretention,
rain gardens, vegetated swales, permeable
paving, and impervious surface reduction.

The greatest impacts from LID are seen when
it is part of a holistic approach to sustainable
development and land use planning.

Rumble Strips that are placed in the travel lane,
perpendicular to the direction of travel are
known as Transverse or In-Lane Rumble Strips.

These strips can be painted, ridge or grooved into
the roadway, and spaced at a certain interval,
Transverse Rumble Strips use vibration and noise
to alert a driver that they are approaching a
change, such as a stop sign or curve in the road.

Section A is defined as the area of study
that extends along the ECSC from N Main
St to the railroad tracks. The summary of the
existing conditions from Chapter 2 follows:
"Section A is a powerhouse of civic function
but needs more comprehensive landscape
planning that supports a connected
public realm. Various civic programs have
grown organically in a few buildings that
vary significantly in their architectural
typologies. Additionally, corridor elements
such as street paving, tree planters,
and sidewalks are deteriorating (F1.5).

Section A would greatly benefit from a Civic
Master Plan that links the civic buildings
along the ECSC with a unified approach to
traffic control, planting, tree preservation,
memorization, and public use spaces."
The improvements to Section A of the ECSC
include: 2 Gateways, updated striping,
installation of new street trees, improved
intersections, bump outs, and speed tables.

In Section A of the ECSC, TLA produced

existing conditions from Chapter 2 follows:
"The Broaddus Creek corridor can experience
periodic flooding during severe weather
conditions, which in turn, causes flooding
at the Broaddus Creek Bridge on East
Commercial Street. Although infrequent,
flooding has been seen running over the
creek bank and onto North Lenore Street.

Abandoned curb cuts (F2.1) located directly
across the street from Mendo Mill / Ace

Approaching from Section A, it is not apparent
that at the East end of the corridor, there
are more amenities and civic spaces. Our
goal for this strip of street is to increase safety
and connect it aesthetically with the over
corridor. By adding trees and plantings, we will

"This leg of East Commercial Street exhibits
some of the same conditions as the
previous two. Overall, the streetscape
infrastructure needs planting, wayfinding,
lighting, and traffic calming improvement.

The streetscape planting is either tired and
needs rejuvenation or is missing entirely...

Traffic calming is a major concern in this area.

A recent traffic study shows that around 30%
of vehicles exceed this section's 30 mph speed
limit. Reducing vehicle speeds through design
and structures would create a safer corridor."
The improvements to Section C of the ECSC

AREAS OF FOCUS
The following plans focus on specific areas of focus
that were identified by staff as needing updates
to facilities, amenities, or general landscape.

Several areas were identified as a priority
through our community and staff meetings.

Looking at Bud Snider Park, we want to increase
its usability and connection to the overall
community. With the adjacent preschool,
there is a need to increase traffic safety.

Recreation Grove, the beloved Green Heart of the
ECSC, could use updates to its existing amenities
and solutions for stormwater management.

Museum Row, or the section of the street that
includes the Library, County Museum, and
Roots of Motive Power, needs improvements
to its streetscape and wayfinding.

NARRATIVE
The upper half of the Sports Complex is lacking
in lighting, amenities, and access. In contrast,
the lower half of the sports complex needs
an overall reenvisioning to meet the future
needs of the Mendocino sports community.

In approaching these concepts, we seek to
enhance what is already present, not recreate
touchstones of the Willits Community. We
take the existing forms and add to them while
preserving their character and resources.

Snider Park, a beloved community hub, is set
for a transformative makeover harmonizing
modern amenities with its rich history. A multiuse market structure and community garden will activate the park's northern half. Park-wide
improvements include clear signage and lighting,
ADA compliance, and improved inclusivity.

Improvements to the playground should include
equipment suitable for all age ranges, focusing
on safety and natural materials, including new
safety surfacing and fences. Adjacent to the
playground, we have located a splash pad
and shade sails for hot summer days, increasing
the park's usability and attracting more visitors.

We have enhanced the plaza around the
Centennial Monument, adding pavers, trees, and
seating. The plaza will highlight the monument and
provide opportunities for gathering while giving
extra space if the farmer’s market needs to expand.

The highlight of the park is the proposed Farmer’s
Market Structure. The Clean California Grant
has already paid for this wood and aluminum
building. It will house up to 12 vendors, and
the surrounding lawn can be converted to
Grasspave for expansion and vehicle traffic.

Adjacent to the farmers' market, we have
located a community garden. At the heart of
the City, this location will be the optimal place
for a community approach to agriculture.

Its location next to the Farmers' Market will
create a tether between the surrounding
agricultural community and our resident growers.

This redesign seeks to blend nature, community,
and history seamlessly to instill a sense of
pride and belonging, ensuring its enduring
relevance and use for future generations.

Recreation Grove is a beloved natural haven
in need of upgrades to preserve the safety
and functionality of the park. This low-impact
redesign seeks to update and consolidate
the event space in the north. We want to
maintain the ability to host the community
events that already take place in the park,
preserving and promoting the health of its
wonderful trees. It should also be noted that
we are not proposing the removal of any trees.

Entering the park from the museum, a
gateway sign reminiscent of the original car
park sign located at Recreation Grove will
greet visitors. The Commercial Street side
of the park will also receive a new fence.

This leads to our envisioned bandshell and
expanded event space. Decomposed
Granite paths will lead visitors through the park
while maintaining permeability for the trees.

The existing large pavilion will be renovated so
that the pavilion, snack shack, and Argentinastyle grill can effectively serve significant events.

An additional smaller pavilion and grill area are
proposed to expand gathering opportunities.

Both pavilions will be connected to and
surrounded by a lush lawn. Other pathways to the
Old Stage and a proposed plaza space will allow
the Old Stage to function as an alternate event
staging area. This decomposed granite game
court will host pétanque, bocce, and horseshoes.

The southern portions of the park previously
saw low use due to poor drainage, circulation
issues, and lack of programming. By introducing
a stormwater basin, rain gardens, and
meandering paths, this design will preserve trees
and maintain a naturalistic feel. Boardwalks
traverse rain gardens for safe exploration. Fitness
nodes, play nodes, and a basketball court are
dispersed along these pathways to invite users
to experience the full breadth of the park.

by the Clean California Grant. This effort was

Welcome to the Northern portion of the Sports
Complex, where a visionary redesign has
transformed this space into a dynamic hub of
recreation and community connection. At the
heart of the complex lies an outdoor concession
court and plaza shaded by vibrant sails, fostering
social gatherings and camaraderie. The plaza
sits at the center of the park, close to the
concession court, play spaces, and restrooms.

Movable furniture will allow flexible use of this
space. The existing concrete entry and circular
court can accommodate access for food trucks.

The proposed additional hardscape to
the west of the circular concrete plaza will
accommodate temporary food service.

The soccer field now shares the spotlight with six
new pickleball courts and modernized ballfields
catering to diverse sporting interests. Updates
are proposed at the existing ields, including sports
field lighting for extended usability of the fields.

Strategically placed, environmentally friendly
restrooms and a whimsical playground
enhance the overall experience. The
addition of a disc golf course and serene
wetland trails creates a dynamic, natureinfused escape within this recreation area.

A disc golf course will utilize the land north of
the existing skate park. The wetlands in this area
will be restored and accessible trails added.

As local interest in wastewater reclamation
grows, an opportunity to provide access to
interpretive trails at the Willits Wastewater
Treatment Facility exists at this location.

A new sidewalk near the parking area strengthens
the connection to the existing dog park and skate
park. To provide a convenient and accessible
source of refreshments, vending machines are
proposed at the skate park. An opportunity
exists to have the maintenance and proceeds
directed by a community led organization.

This new water station location will allow water fill
trucks to pull into a safer and more accessible area.

field will be reoriented and pushed south to
accommodate a new parking lot and amenities.

A multi-use plaza at the site of the existing restroom
will accommodate gatherings and food vendors.

Decomposed granite paving at the plaza will
provide a low maintenance and comfortable
gathering area as compared to concrete.

Seating, shade structures, and new restrooms
will create a safe gathering hub for field users.

Restrooms that balance privacy with an open
design enhance safety in public spaces by
providing increased visibility and reducing hidden
areas that could be potential safety concerns.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
From: Logan Shine, Contract Planner
Agenda Title: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE A SCOPE OF WORK TO COMPOSE A PART 3: FIRE RESPONSE AND A PART 4: EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE ANNEXES FOR INCLUSION TO THE LOCAL EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN PART 1; BASE PLAN AND AMEND THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) PROJECT’S BUDGET TABLE TO INCLUDE THESE ITEMS AT AN EXPENSE OF $66,000.

Type: Presentation Consent Regular Agenda Public Hearing Urgent Time: 20 minutes Agenda Summary: The City Council adopted a Local Emergency Operations Plan Part 1: Basic Plan at the September 11th meeting. At adoption, the Council instructed the City Manager to prepare a scope to complete specific Fire and Seismic Hazard Annexes within a timely manner. The Council will need to amend the Basic Plan to accept these Annexes.

City Manager Bender tasked Land Logistics, the consulting firm retained by the City to provide planning and project management services to the City, to compose a scope of work with a supporting schedule and budget. Research indicates the total time investment for the task can range from 140 to 260 hours for each Annex, depending on the complexity of the plan and the level of stakeholder engagement. At the minimum, each Annex requires the following steps: (1) Initial Planning and Scoping; (2) Research and Data Collection; (3) Drafting the Annex; (4) Stakeholder Coordination: (5) Review and Revision; (6) Approval and Adoption; (7) Training and Implementation; and (8) Ongoing Maintenance and Updates.

Knowing the level of commitment and time allocation, staff wants to focus first on the Fire Response Annex to have it ready for Council review by March. The effort to complete the Annex first, ensures it is in place before the next fire season. After its adoption, staff will turn their attention to the Earthquake Response Annex with the intent of having it ready by June for the Council.

Staff seeks the Council to amend the ARPA Project’s Budget Table to add this task with an allocation of $60,000 plus a ten-percent contingency of $6,000. Specifically, the amendment is to deduct $33,000 from each of the Land Use Plan Implementation and Rec Grove Facility Improvements items to sustain this project as a new a Budget Table entry. Staff considers the development of Fire and Earthquake Response Annexes as adhering to ARPA guidelines of promoting community resilience.

Recommended Action: Review the Staff Report and adopt the accompanying Resolution to accept the presented scope of work. The said scope of work covers the development of Annexes to the Local Emergency Operations Plan Part 1. These Annexes consist of Fire and Earthquake Responses.

Alternative(s): None.

Fiscal Impact: To use $66,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act allocation.

Personnel Impact: City staff will review and practice response and recovery roles and procedure at least once per year through tabletop exercises, or other practice drills. 2021 Adopted Goals: This item supports 2021 City Council Goal #2 for the Police Department…Interact with the City’s Emergency partners to complete the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) that will reflect the City Manager as Chief Emergency Officer.

California Environmental Quality Act: This action item does not represent a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Prepared By: Logan Shine, Contract Planner
Item: Scope of work to develop Fire and Earthquake Responses Annexes for inclusion in Emergency Operations Plan Part 1: Base Plan.

Request: To approve the scope of work to develop Fire and Earthquake Response Annexes.

SUMMARY
The City Council adopted a local Emergency Operations Plan Part 1: Basic Plan, in September of 2024, with the understanding of subsequent development and inclusion of specific Hazard Annexes. The Council established a completion timeline before the next hazard seasons.

The Council restated their goals from the 2021 Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan to focus on developing operable Annex Plans for Earthquake, Fire, and Flood events. A Flood Response Annex has been in development since 2021 and is ready to be approved with suggestions from the Council.

Flood and Fire Hazards are possible side-effects of a seismic event and have been prioritized for completion. A Fire Annex may be ready for Council as early as February, and an Earthquake Annex will need to be scoped for completion in the Spring/early Summer of 2025.

BACKGROUND
Fire and Earthquake Annexes to the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) provide a framework for structured responses during and after fire and seismic emergencies within the City of Willits.

These Annexes outline the roles and responsibilities of allied agencies, community stakeholders, and City Departments during emergency events. The scope of work includes the defining elements of the Annexes:

Purpose:

To establish a coordinated response to emergencies, ensuring the safety of residents, property, and the environment.

Objectives:

To minimize the impact of fire and seismic events, protect life and property, and facilitate effective recovery and mitigation efforts.

Item No. 9a
Meeting Date: October 23, 2024

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
From: Walter Kolon, Services and Facilities Director
Agenda Title: RESURFACING STATE STREET FROM NORTH MAIN STREET TO ITS EASTERN TERMINUS AT A COST OF $160,170 DUE TO ITS ACCELERATED DETERIORATION FROM CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2024 UNDERGROUND UTILITIES PROJECT (PROJECT 2023-08) WITH MONIES FROM TRANSPORTATION 202 AND WASTEWATER 510 FUNDS AND A SUBSEQUENT REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BLOCK GRANT.

Type: Presentation Consent Regular Agenda Public Hearing Urgent Time: 15 minutes.

Summary of Request: Approve funding to resurface the entire length of State Street rather than spot repair after the replacement of the main sewer lines as part of the Steel Water Main Replacement Project, Project 2023-08. The original project only intended to patch and repair the disturbed asphalt surfaces above replaced pipes. This request takes advantage of an already mobilized Argonaut Construction to reduce the cost.

Staff determined that repaving the surfaces of State Street from North Main would be beneficial and a cost-effective way to rehabilitate the road since partial paving was not viable due to the extremely poor road condition. According to the 2021 Pavement Management Report, State Street had a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of “0” on a scale of 0-100, rating it as failed, and one of the poorest conditioned streets in the City.

Besides the lackluster PCI, the resurfacing ensures State Street can safely accommodate apparatus leaving northbound from the Fire District Station on Humbolt Street to access N. Main Street. The resurfacing also attempts to match the investment the City is making in Snider Park improvements through the Clean California Grant Program.

Staff advises the Council the resurfacing does not include improvements to the adjacent sidewalks.

Exhibit A: Argonaut Construction Proposal.

Recommended Action: Approve an additional cost of $160,170 to Argonaut Construction to grind and resurface State Street.

Alternative(s): Adhere to the original project scope and only patch and repair the disturbed asphalt above replaced pipes. Due to the poor road condition, this is not a viable option and would result in continuous maintenance efforts to temporarily stabilize the surface until the time of a complete resurfacing in either 2025 or 2026.

Fiscal Impact: Draw the additional monies from Transportation 202 Fund and Wastewater 510 Fund and apply to Mendocino Council of Governments (MCOG) for a cost reimbursement from the Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) Program. The City has $619,960 in available funding.

Personnel Impact: Project administration by the Services and Facilities Department.

Identified City Council Conflict of Interest: None.
2021 Adopted Goals: This item supports Goal #1 for Services and Facilities…Maintain and improve infrastructure systems of water, wastewater, public facilities, and streets capable of managing future growth while responding to current City needs.

This Item Relates to the following General Plan Element : N/A Land Use Circulation Conservation and Open Space Noise Housing Public Services and Facilities, Parks and Recreation Economic Development
