8. City Manager Reports and Recommendations
a. Annual update on the implementation of E. Commercial Corridor Master Plan.  City Manager Bender reported how the E. Commercial Corridor Master Plan has been utilized by City Staff. Mr. Bender reported that staff has composed two grant opportunities using the E. Commercial Corridor Master Plan. The grant programs are federally funded. These funds would be used to implement certain provisions identified in the E. Commercial Corridor Master Plan.
 Councilmember Burton asked about the status of Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) fund that the City and PG&E had contributed to for undergrounding the utilities around Bud Snider Park. City Manager Bender reported that the City has just shy of $900,000 worth of work credits for the project, the estimated cost of that project is between $1,200,000 and $1,300,000. The project was presented to the previous Council to use either General Funds or American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), or Measure K Funds the Council at that time did not direct staff to utilize internal funds to close the funding gap to move the project ahead. PG&E had a loophole identified in the Undergrounding of Utilities Program that PG&E could transfer their contribution from one community’s project to another community if there were no intentions to underground the identified utilities. PG&E took advantage of that loophole and transferred their contribution to another community which closed the opportunity for the City of Willits. The City of Willits currently has the $900,000 in work credits with PG&E.
 Councilmember Allman expressed his appreciation of the identifying signs that have been placed in the Recreation Grove Park and Bud Snider Park.  Councilmember Gonzalez stated that he is looking forward to the identifying sign that will be placed on Highway 20. This sign will encourage travelers to turn into the City’s Downtown area. City Manager Bender explained that City is moving forward with the sign applications that need to be submitted to Caltrans. There are hopes that by the end of the year the Highway 20 Directional sign and the Highway 20 Gateway Sign will be in place.

Public Comment: None presented.
b. Verbal Reports – No Action.
i. Fire Hazard Severity Zones: Map Release and the March 6th public forum.  City Manager Bender reported that CalFire has released the Fire Hazard Severity Zones Map. Mr. Bender announced that Thursday March 6, 2025, the City is holding a Public Forum to attempt to answer as many questions as possible.

Copies of the Fact Sheets and Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps will be available for the public. Staff that will be at the Fire Hazard Severity Public Forum will make note of questions, present the questions to council and then present them to CalFire.

Public Comment:

Willits City Council Minutes of February 26, 2025 Page 3 of 7  Hellen Sims inquired about the time of the Public Forum. Why is it starting at 4:00 pm, when so many residents are still at work, rather than a 6:00 pm start time? Mr.

Bender responded that the staff chose that time frame to accommodate as many citizens as possible. Staff will not be chasing anyone away.  Karen Cavanaugh asked if notification of the Forum would go out on Social Media.

Mr. Bender responded that the Staff is currently preparing notifications to be posted to the City Facebook pages and website. Councilmember Allman added that this Forum only applies to within City Limits.
 City Manager Bender further reported that there will be a notice announcing the need for an additional member for the Measure K Oversight Committee. City Clerk Pedersen announced that the notice was in the February 26th edition of the Willits News. Mr. Bender stated that the hope is to have applications to present to the Council at the March 26th meeting, for a decision to be made on the member and have the first meeting of 2025 in April. Madge Strong inquired about the deadline for application submittal and announced that the Willits Weekly would be back in circulation on March 6th. Ms. Pedersen announced that the deadline for application submittal is March 13th and that she would get an announcement in the Willits Weekly March 6th edition.

9. Department Recommendations (Action Items)
a. Proposed Amendments to the Sidewalk Ordinance Contained in the Willits Municipal Code Title 12, Chapters 12.16 and 12.17.
 Leiloni Shine, Contract Planner presented a PowerPoint Presentation on the Amendments that were made to the Sidewalk Ordinance at the request of the Previous City Council. Ms. Shine then asked the Council for direction as well as the funding
 Mayor Stranske asked about the sidewalks that do not connect to anything, will the City still require the residents to add sidewalk where there is no none? City Manager Bender responded that Staff could propose and ordinance that states that if the homeowner is doing improvements of $100,000 or more, sidewalk improvements would be discussed at that time. Mr. Bender added that there is another provision that the city is recommending that would create a deviational waiver process.
 Vice Mayor Alaniz asked about information that had been asked of Ms. Shine to provide to the Council in September 2024. The items requested to bring back to council were:
 List of Sidewalks that would be $500 or less to repair.  Cost to repair City owned sidewalks.
 The time frame to have the sidewalk work done to be increased, it currently is a two-year minimum.
 A map that shows areas that would not require sidewalks.  Councilmember Allman requested that we address the sidewalks that currently need to be repair then addressing the construction of new sidewalks by property owners.

Public Comment:
 Nicole Caldwell reported to the council an incident when her daughter tripped on an existing City Sidewalk and sustained injuries and broken glasses.  Hellen Sims asked if she repairs or installs a new sidewalk, will this require a permit and inspection, and if she repairs or installs a new sidewalk, will this limit her culpability if someone trips in front of her home. City Manager Bender answered that there would be permits required but that there could be a self-certification process written into the ordinance.

Willits City Council Minutes of February 26, 2025 Page 4 of 7  Madge Strong expressed her appreciation that Willits is a walkable city. She does not expect to see sidewalks everywhere. She appreciates that there could be a waiver ability added to the ordinance. Ms. Strong does feel that the existing sidewalks that need to be maintained and improved, also Ms. Strong feels that the burden of the liability should be shared with the property owner if they are not maintaining an existing sidewalk.
 Saprina Rodriguez asked that the current council look at the prior council’s direction and build on it ensuring that citizens have safe access to sidewalks in the community.  Robert Smith expressed concern, as a disabled person, over the sidewalks that lead to nowhere, or end with a curb.
 Dan Lowden explained that the American Disability Act clearly states one quarter inch height and anything more than a quarter inch is a violation. Mr. Lowden suggested that the City fix what is already in need of repair that is City responsibility rather than forcing residents to repair or install new.  Lynn Dee Johnson thanked the city for paving Van Lane and explained that the amount of money that the City puts into sidewalks is valuable to citizens.  Raghda Zacharia expressed concern over the repair of sidewalks being made more complicated than necessary.
 Mr. Lowden brought to the attention of council that at night the redwood trees on the corner of Humboldt and E Mendocino completely block the Street Lights.

Council direction was to amend the existing Municipal Code by increasing the home improvement threshold amount from $10,000 or more to $100,000 or more.

Public Comment:
 Saprina Rodriguez inquired what the City may potentially be giving up to pay for the Automated License Plate Readers. Ms. Rodriguez also questioned if the City would really want to be locked into a 5-year contract for $23,500 per year?  Madge Strong asked how Flock is implemented if there is a report of a known suspect vehicle to watch for. Does a staff member need to take hours going through video of license plates? Interim Chief Parish responded that there is an ability to flag a license plate number into the system and if the vehicle enters the City of Willits jurisdiction, the Flock System would notify the Police Department.  Helen Simms inquired that since the systems are set up within City Limits what happens to the areas in between the Cities, is there a need for coverage there?  Raghda Zacharia what triggers the system to read license plates. Is Willits using the same company as the City of Ukiah? Will there also be cameras in the residential areas of the City? Interim Police Chief Parish stated that any crime triggers a license plate read. The Flock camera do not cover residential areas, it only covers the gateways of the City. The Cites of Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Willits and Covelo all use the Flock Group for their ALPR’s.
 Councilmember Gonzalez asked if maintenance of the cameras was part of the contracted price. Interim Police Chief Parish responded that as long as the City is under contract with Flock the maintenance is covered by Flock, this is part of the contracted price.

Will this be corrected once we have the cameras in place? Interim Police Chief Parish stated that this will be updated in the Policy. Mr.

Allman asked that Council be notified of the guidelines.  Finance Director Orozco commented that appropriations in fund 222 need to be increased to cover the cost of the Flock Group Contract.

Moved by Gonzalez/Seconded by Allman and carried unanimously to adopt Resolution No. 2025-11 Approving the Purchase of an Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) System from the Flock Group, Inc.

Public Comment:

Willits City Council Minutes of March 12, 2025 Page 5 of 6  Saprina Rodriguez inquired if going forward with potential changes to the ordinance would there be accommodations made for vendors that are not mobile.

Dusty Duley, Community Development Director stated that yes there would be verbiage in the ordinance that would make accommodations for special events.  Ed Beals stated that food trucks are one of the most accessible and budgetfriendly avenues to starting and maintaining a food business. Food Trucks are a good way for chefs and entrepreneurs to prove themselves to investors. Young People and working people on the go will benefit from the accessibility.  Tony Madrigal agrees that one block off of Main St. and one block off of Commercial St. is a good starting point. Mr. Madrigal that the Brick-and-Mortar businesses and Mobile Vendors need to have level playing field.  Jill Persico also expressed a need for the Brick-and-Mortar businesses and the Mobile Vendors being on a level playing field.

Meeting Date: April 9, 2025

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
From: Manuel J. Orozco, Finance Director/City Treasurer Agenda Title: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR THE 2024-25 FISCAL YEAR, PURSUANT TO ARTICLE XIIIB OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

Type: Presentation Consent Regular Agenda Public Hearing Urgent Time: 20 minutes Summary of Request: According to the California State Appropriations Limit (SAL) also known as the Gann Spending-Limitation Initiative (Article XIII B of the State Constitution) adopted as Proposition 4 in June of 1979 (and subsequently modified by Proposition 111 in June of 1990), the City is required to annually adopt a Resolution setting an appropriations limit for each Fiscal Year. For 2024-25, staff projects that the City’s appropriations (for all general governmental funds) subject to limitations to be $5,231,630 which is $3,287,058 less than the calculated limit of $8,518,688.

Background and Key Concepts: The Gann Spending-Limitation Initiative provides for the limitation of state and local government appropriations. As discussed in the following summary of the major provisions of the Gann Initiative and Proposition 111 modifications, the Gann Initiative is actually a limitation on tax revenues rather than a direct limitation on appropriations:

1. Appropriations subject to limitation may not exceed appropriations made in 1978-79 except as adjusted for increases in the cost of living, population and service responsibility transfers.

2. Appropriations financed through service fees (to the degree that they do not exceed the cost of performing the service), grant programs, fines and forfeitures, and other specified “non-tax” sources are not subject to the appropriations limit. Additionally, appropriations for long-term indebtedness incurred prior to 1978-79, debt service on qualified capital outlays beginning in 1990-91, qualified capital outlays in excess of major capital-related expenditures, all appropriations funded through tax revenues are subject to limitation.

3. For the purpose of identifying “proceeds from taxes” under the Gann Initiative, state subventions that are unrestricted as to their use (such as motor vehicle in-lieu revenues) are considered to be tax sources. On the other hand, the use of subventions like gas tax and transportation development act funds is restricted by the State, and as such, is classified as non-tax sources.

4. Under the original Gann Initiative, all proceeds from taxes received in excess of the appropriations limit were required to be returned through refunds or revisions in tax rates and fee schedules within the next two Fiscal Years; or voter approval to increase the appropriations limit was required.

Proposition 111 provides a one-year carryover feature to determine excess revenues under which refunds can be avoided if in the subsequent year the City is below the limit by the amount of the prior year excess. Any voter approved increased to the appropriations limit cannot exceed four years.

5. Originally, the Gann Initiative was self-executing, requiring no formal review; however, Proposition 111 requires that the annual calculation be reviewed as part of the annual financial audit.

6. Major concepts in implementing the Gann Initiative as modified by Proposition 111 include:
appropriations funded through tax sources are subject to the limit, not actual expenditures; and any excess of actual tax revenues over the appropriations limit, not actual expenditures or appropriations, are subject to refund.

Adjustment Factors
The annual adjustment factors for changes in population and cost of living for the appropriations limit calculation must be selected by a recorded vote of the Council, and include the following:

1. Population. Based on data provided annually by the State Department of Finance, cities may annually choose either the growth in their city’s or the county’s population.  For this year’s calculation, the City’s population growth factor (which exceeds the County’s factor) is the recommended adjustment factor as discussed below.

2. Cost of living. Local governments may annually choose either the percentage change in California per capita personal income or the percentage change in their jurisdiction’s assessed valuation that is attributable to the non-residential new construction.  Data for the percentage change in California per capita personal income change is provided annually by the State Department of Finance. Data for the preceding year in calculating the increase in the non-residential assessed valuation is not currently available from the County; therefore, the recommended cost of living factor is California per capita income. However, when non-residential construction data becomes available from the County, the limit can be recalculated and retroactively adopted if different results are anticipated.

Calculation Summary
A summary of the City’s appropriations limit history is provided in Attachment 3 as Exhibit “B”. As reflected in that summary, the City’s limit for 2023-24 was $8,227,436 this year’s appropriation is calculated as follows:

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
From: Manuel Orozco, Finance Director
Agenda Title: THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE FIVE-YEAR AGREEMENT (APPROVED SEPTEMBER 25, 2024) BETWEEN THE WILLITS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE CITY OF WILLITS FOR A QUARTERLY ALLOCATION OF THE TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX.

Type: Presentation Consent Regular Agenda Public Hearing Urgent Time: 30 minutes Summary of Request: On September 25, 2024, the City Council unanimously approved the renewal of an Agreement outlining the allocation of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) the Chamber of Commerce receives from the City. The renewal raised the TOT allocation by four percent, increasing it from 11.11% to 15.11%. Additionally, the Council agreed to remove the benchmarks previously included in the Agreement, which were used to assess the Chamber's post-COVID-19 development. Lastly, the Chamber and the Council agreed to revise several of the expected activities listed in Section 3 of the Agreement.

By mutual consent, now both parties are requesting an amendment to Section 2c of the Agreement to clarify that the City will be responsible for disbursing the TOT payment approximately six weeks after the closing of each quarter. Currently, the Agreement requires the City to make the payment one month after the end of the quarter.

This timeline presents an issue, as lodging property owners have up to thirty days after the quarter ends to submit their TOT collections to the City. As a result, there may be situations where the City needs to supplement the Chamber’s disbursement before reimbursing the General Fund for the initial outlay.

The proposed amendment would eliminate this additional accounting step and provide the Chamber with a clear, predictable timeline for receiving the correct allocation.

Attached is the Agreement with the first amendment for your review.

Recommended Action: To adopt the accompanying Resolution approving the first amendment to the existing Agreement.

Alternative(s): None.

Fiscal Impact: This request does not impact the TOT distributions to the Chamber. The FY 2024-25 Budget includes a set-aside of $55,000 in TOT distribution for the Chamber. To date, the Chamber has received $25,609 this year.

Personnel Impact: Minimal. As the greatest time allocation rests with the Administration and Finance Departments to coordinate with the Chamber.

Identified City Council Conflict of Interest: None.
2021 Adopted Goals: This item complies with Goal #3 for Community Development…Develop and implement economic development strategies for the City of Willits that will promote the development and maintenance of strong business sector including business retention and attraction, tourism, marketing and revenue generation.

California Environmental Quality Act: Not applicable.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
From: Connor Stack, City Planner
Agenda Title: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AUTHORIZING THE WILLITS FARMERS MARKET TO OPERATE IN BUD SNIDER PARK.

Type: Presentation Consent Regular Agenda Public Hearing Urgent Summary of Request: Staff has received a request (Attachment A) from the Market Manager, Michael Foley, to operate the Willits Farmers Market in Bud Snider Park starting in the Northwest Corner of the Park, at N. Humboldt and State Street, and extend east on State Street to its intersection with N. Marin Street. Vendors on the street side would park perpendicular to the curb; all others would be asked to unload and park away from the Park, so as to maximize parking for customers. The Farmer’s market plans to operate on Thursdays from 1:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. as a Spring/Summer/Fall home, typically April through the end of October. The following language is excerpted from Mr. Foley’s letter dated March 10, 2025. “We would have vendors on both sides of the sidewalk, and canopies for those on the street side would extend a bit into the sidewalk. Vendors on the street side would park perpendicular to the curb; all others would be asked to unload and park away from the Park, so as to maximize parking for customers. We have one food truck – Fairall’s Farm Little Blue Wagon – that has been a part of the market for years now and would need space, either on Humboldt, near the NW corner, or at the end of our line of vendors on State Street.”
Staff is seeking Council approval to authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement with the Mendocino County Farmers Market Association (MCFARM) to operate the Market at Bud Snider Park. A draft agreement is provided as Attachment B.

Background: The Willits Farmers Market previously operated at the northern side of Bud Snider Memorial Park for several years before moving operations to the Recreation Grove Park and thereafter operating in the City public parking lot on Main Street, and most recently at the private parking lot associated with the old Rexall building. The market has historically operated indoors at the Willits Grange during the winter months.

Key Issues: The following is a discussion of potential issues identified by staff.

Available Parking
Current staff have been made aware that vendors blocking private residential driveways was an issue at times during the market’s previous operation at the Park. It is stated in the request provided that vendors that will not remain parked perpendicular to the curb will be asked to unload and park away from the park. Ambiguous parking recommendations could lead to errors or vendors accidentally blocking nearby driveways of private residences. Staff will work with the Market Manager and Police Department, if necessary, to ensure vendors do not block private residential driveways.

Trash Disposal
When Bud Snider Park was previously used, at times, the public trash receptacles available were overused and overflowing with not just customer trash, but in addition vendor trash, such as unsold produce. Services and Facilities Department staff noted that farmers market previous use of Bud Snider Park resulted in public trash receptacles overflowing, not necessarily from the addition of more trash being added by the public, but rather from the receptacles being used by vendors to dispose of their excess produce and goods. Staff recommends requiring the Farmers Market to provide waste receptacles for the purpose of collecting and disposing of waste produced by the vendors. Any food waste should be collected separate from other waste streams for the purpose of diverting food waste from the landfill. Language has been added to the Agreement to require the farmers market to deal with the waste of their vendors separately.

Signage
Farmers Market will need to set up no parking signage along Bud Snider Park in advance to reserve parking spaces for vendors. These signs can be provided by the City, but staff is requesting that signage be put up and taken down appropriately by the Mendocino Farmers Market.

To: Willits City Council
Dear Council Members:

I am writing to request permission for the Willits Farmers Market to move back to Bud Snider City Park this spring (April, if possible; May, if not). Until the recently-approved pavilion is built (likely end of August, September), we would like to set up as we did in the past, starting at the NW corner of the Park, at Humboldt and State Streets, and extend east on State Street.

As you may know, Willits Farmers Market has been on various hot pavements since 2016, when we were moved from the Park so that the old elms there could be cut and replaced. Citizens have been asking when we can return to the Park ever since! The old Rexall parking lot, where we have been located the past several years will no longer be available to us this summer.

The Market has been providing Willits residents with fresh produce, local meat and eggs, local prepared foods and crafts for decades now. And it has also served as a stimulus and outlet for small farm production in Mendocino County for all that time. Both vendors and Willits residents will be happy to see us return to our traditional venue this summer.

We would have vendors on both sides of the sidewalk, and canopies for those on the street side would extend a bit into the sidewalk. Vendors on the street side would park perpendicular to the curb; all others would be asked to unload and park away from the Park, so as to maximize parking for customers. We have one food truck – Fairall’s Farm Little Blue Wagon – that has been a part of the market for years now and would need space, either on Humboldt, near the NW corner, or at the end of our line of vendors on State Street.

We set up starting a 1 PM and are usually cleared out by 6:30. If the City chose to install No Parking signs for Thursday afternoons, those would be our parameters.

We are hoping that this arrangement will be approved and we can count on the Park as our permanent spring/summer and fall home from this year on.

Best,
Michael Foley, Market Manager

Mendocino Co. Farmers’ Market Assn

From the Mendocino County Farmers Market Association Rules & Regulations (rev. 3/4/2025) (available in full at: https://mcfarm.org/vendor-resources) III. ADMISSION OF A PRODUCER AND PRODUCTS TO A MARKET
Admission policies are based on support for local agricultural producers. In MCFARM’s Articles of Incorporation, the first purpose of our association is to provide farmers markets for “vegetables, fruits and related agricultural products grown and produced in Mendocino and nearby counties”, more specifically as per ByLaws, Mendocino and Lake counties. Admission of other products is also based on these locations.

A. Local Produce Vendors
Vendors with certified produce from Mendocino and Lake counties, shall be accepted until all spaces are full. All products that are listed on their primary producer certificates shall be accepted at each market.
-----

4. In order to be placed in the certified section of the market, any crafts sold by this produce vendor must be created from products harvested on the farm, must not predominate by volume or value, and must be accepted by the Market Manager.

B. Non-Certified Ag Producers (e.g. meat, aqua cultured oysters, cheese) New Non-Certified Producers will only be allowed in markets that have sufficient space to allow maximum participation from all certified producers who notify the manager before the season begins.

Market Managers must have the latitude to use their discretion in considering market supply and demand for non-certified ag products, but these producers have admission priority over other non-AG food products.

C. Other Food Products
Admission of producers of other food products such as processed food, wild seafood, seaweed, salt etc. is determined by market need, based on Market Manager discretion and has priority over admission of crafts. At least one of these factors should be present to assist the manager in determining admission:

1. The food is harvested or caught in the region of Mendocino and Lake counties.

2. The food is grown or raised by the vendor and processed locally.

3. It is a local business selling processed specialty foods.

D. Food to Go
Admission of food to go is based on Market Manager discretion, available space, and the need to provide market hospitality. The market image, healthfulness of the product, and the inclusion of local ingredients are important factors to consider.

E. Crafts
For the specific markets that accept crafts, admissions shall be based on Market Manager discretion.

The manager may also rely on a volunteer committee for reviewing work prior to admission. Market Managers should strive to keep the number of craft vendors below 25% of the number of certified vendors. A rotating schedule may be utilized to meet this percentage and still allow greater participation. The following factors assist the manager in determining admission:

1. It appears that at least 75% of the work in the craft item is created by the local vendor.

2. The person uses local products when possible.

3. The product is unique and the quality is commendable.
