_____________________________________________________________________ Date: July 23, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Council Liaison to City of Willows Chamber of Commerce Recommendation:

It is recommended that Councilmember Thomas be appointed as a Council liaison to the City of Willows Chamber of Commerce.

Rationale for Recommendation:

At a prior City Council meeting, members of the City Council demonstrated an interest in developing a stronger relationship between the City and the Chamber of Commerce. Based on Councilmember Thomas’s historic participation and membership in the Chamber, members of the Council supported his appointment as the City Council liaison.

Background:

The City Council strongly supports increased economic development, business growth and private investment in the community. Members of the Council have on more than one occasion commented that they would like the Chamber of Commerce to play a greater role in business development and provide supportive services to local businesses.

Discussion & Analysis:

In an effort to increase the Chamber of Commerce’s role in supporting existing and new businesses, the Council has a demonstrated interest in helping the Chamber to improve upon its service delivery and strengthen its relationship with the City by appointing a Council liaison to the Chamber of Commerce. Given his long-standing history and working relationship with the Chamber, it is recommended that Councilmember Thomas be appointed to this role.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The proposed action is consistent with Council Priority #2: Economic Development by helping to create a thriving business environment that attracts new businesses and supports existing ones.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact by approving the recommended action. 16 PUBLIC HEARING

Subject: Public Hearing: Weed Abatement - Special Assessment Recommendation:

Upon conclusion of the public hearing, consider adoption of the attached resolution confirming costs of abatement and declaring them a special assessment as of August 2, 2024.

Rationale for Recommendation:

The abatement process was previously outlined and approved by the City Council, and the public hearing affords members of the public to contest charges associated with weed abatement activities.

Background:

On April 23, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring rubbish, refuse, and weeds to be a public nuisance. The Fire Department surveyed the areas in town that had nuisance and abatement issues. Property owners were notified that they must remove the nuisance, or the City would perform the task and bill the property owner accordingly.

Discussion & Analysis:

In accordance with the California Administrative Code, a public hearing is required prior to the adoption of the resolution confirming the cost of weed abatement and declaring those cost a lien against those properties on which work was performed. The purpose of this hearing is to discuss the cost of abatement only. The hearing on protesting and ordering abatement was held on May 14, 2024. The notice of public hearing was published in the local newspaper of general circulation.

Twenty-eight properties were abated during the 2024 Weed Abatement Process. Eighteen of the properties abated were owned by absentee property owners who do not live in the Willows area.
18 Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The recommended action is consistent with Priority #3: Public Safety by ensuring the community’s public safety through weed/nuisance abatement of city properties, as well as maintaining a high Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating that helps to maintain lower property insurance costs.

Fiscal Impact:

Abated properties have been billed to the property owner including a 25% administration fee.

For those property owners that do not pay the cost of abatement, a lien will be placed against the property and will appear on their county tax statement.

To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers

Subject: 141 North Crawford Street, Confirmation of Cost of Abatement Recommendation:

Consider and adopt Resolution XX-2024, confirming the cost of abatement work that occurred at 141 North Crawford Street, APN 001-152-007, in the amount of $18,970.75 and placing a lien on the property via the Glenn County tax roll if not paid in full by August 2, 2024.

Rationale for Recommendation:

Extensive code enforcement actions were undertaken at 141 North Crawford Street.

Considerable resources were employed to abate the property, including hiring a contractor to clean it up. To date, the property owner, Mr. Wang, has made very little to no effort to abate the property.

Background:

On May 17, 2023, Mr. Wang pulled a demolition permit for the structure at 141 North Crawford Street (Attachment 1). On November 8, 2023, the Willows Fire Department issued an official notice of violation of 141 North Crawford Street (Attachment 2). The notice outlined the presence of multiple code enforcement violations (WMC § 8.10.020 (2B), WMC § 08.10.020 (2F), WMC § 08.10.020 (2H), WMC § 08.10.020 (2K), WMC § 8.10.020 (23). The notice also outlined the protest process, and that the property owner is required to provide a written plan of correction to the City of Willows no later than December 1, 2023, and that all code enforcement violations should be corrected by January 5, 2024.

On November 28, 2023, Chief Monck contacted Mr. Wang via telephone as no response had been received. Mr. Chang provided the department with an email address and an electronic copy of the notice was sent. Mr. Chang stated that he would have a written plan of correction to the department no later than December 1, 2023. On December 11, no plan of correction had been received and a voicemail was left for Mr. Change by the Fire Chief. 23 On December 12, 2023, contact was made via telephone with the property owner. Mr. Chang stated that the building would be torn down no later than December 19, 2023. He was directed to send a written plan of correction by the end of business day or a $500 per day penalty would accrue for failure to provide written plan of correction (as permitted under the Willows Municipal Code (WMC)).

On December 13, a second notice of violation was issued with a $500 per day fine assessed for failure to provide a written plan of correction (Attachment 3). Chief Monck received a text message from Mr. Wang on December 13, 2023, stating that the property would be cleaned up no later than December 25, 2023 (Attachment 4).

On December 26 and 29, Chief Monck inspected the Property and no change in the property’s condition was observed. Mr. Wang texted Chief Monck on December 29 stating “The building will be down by next Friday” (January 5, 2024).

The Property was inspected on January 5 and 7, 2024, and no noticeable progress was found.

On January 8, 2024, Chief Monck issued a 3rd violation notice assessing $500 per day per violation, a total of $2500 per day (Attachment 5). After receipt of the 3rd violation, Mr. Wang texted Chief Monck stating the house would be down by January 10, 2024. Chief Monck again inspected the property on January 10 and found no noticeable progress. On January 12, Chief Monck received a text message from the unlicensed contractor that they were at the property working (Attachment 6). An inspection was performed, and work had finally begun. On January 19, the physical structure had been demolished but a significant amount of rubble and debris was still on the property (Attachment 7).

On February 12, 2024, Chief Monck emailed Mr. Wang and advised him that there was still considerable amounts of rubble and debris present at the site. It needed to be cleaned up and fines continued to accrue (Attachment 8). The property was inspected multiple times in the month of February with limited improvement. On March 13, a fourth violation notice was issued stating that the city would be forced to take action should the property not comply with the municipal code by April 1, 2024 (Attachment 9).

On April 1, 2024, a 72-hour notice of summary abatement was issued and posted at the property as required (Attachment 10). On April 8, multiple hazards still existed at the property (Attachment 11) and were abated by the City Contractor. The property was brought into compliance and fines ceased (Attachment 12).

On April 12, 2024, an invoice was emailed to Mr. Wang for the code enforcement action, and he was directed to contact City Manager Brown regarding any concerns and to schedule a payment plan if needed (Attachment 13). On May 21, Mr. Wang was emailed concerning the status, as no attempt to contact City Manager Brown or myself had been made. Mr. Wang indicated that he was going to seek legal counsel as he could not afford the fines.

Discussion & Analysis:
24 As demonstrated by the documentation, Mr. Wang was given ample opportunity throughout the code enforcement process to address the issues at his property over the course of nearly 6 months and was issued 5 notices of violation for which he confirmed receipt. Throughout the enforcement actions multiple phone, email and texts conversations were had concerning the property. On multiple occasions, Fire Chief Monck granted leniency and time extensions as Mr.

Wang promised repeatedly that the property would be abated and not require further City action.

Since the goal of code enforcement is voluntary compliance, staff recommend recovery of the actual cost of the code enforcement action and abatement in the amount of $18,970.75 and forego collecting the additional penalties and fines that were issued.

The council is required to hold a public hearing to confirm the actual cost of abatement, allow the property owner to protest, and potentially place the cost of the enforcement action on the FY2024-2025 tax rolls as a lien on the property. As property maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner, costs associated with code enforcement actions should be the responsibility of those whose negligence caused the action and abatement - not the Willows taxpayer.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The recommended action is consistent with Council Priority #3: Public Safety by ensuring the community’s public safety through weed/nuisance abatement of city properties, as well as Priority #1: Financial Stability by protecting the General Fund from undue costs that are the responsibility of private property owners.

Fiscal Impact:

The total cost to abate the property located at 141 North Crawford Street, APN 001-152-007, was $18,970.75. This includes Fire Department staff time and fees paid to the Contractor for clean-up. Should the Council reject adopting the attached resolution, the City’s General Fund will be burdened by this expense, and it will be reduced by an additional $18,970.75.

Sir,

The structure at 141 N Crawford has been demolished but there still has been a considerable amount of rubble and debris present at the site.

This property still violates Willows Municipal Code and is a blatant hazard. The property is still being ass�ssed fines and penalties.

Please advise when you will finish having the property cleaned up so we can stop the accrual of fines once work has been completed.

Sir,
Mail - Nate Monck • Outlook
Please see attached invoice for the Code Enforcement activities that the City was forced to undergo at your property.

As noted in the notices that you received, costs associated with code enforcement action including staff time, mandated abatement, would be billed and are the property owner's responsibility. All unpaid invoices will be placed as a lien upon the property. As also stated your property was assessed $500 per day per violation, and that fines would cease when property was brought into compliance with applicable codes.

The City of Willows was forced, due to continued inaction and non-compliance, to perform a summary abatement of the property on April s
th 2024, and was properly noticed.

Should you have questions, or would like to set up a payment plan, feel free to reach out to City Manager Marti Brown at [email protected].

_____________________________________________________________________ Date: July 23, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: John Wanger, City Engineer
Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: FY 2023-24 Annual Sidewalk Maintenance Project Recommendation:

Approve a Resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Rock Creek Construction Inc. for $45,706 to construct sidewalk improvements in connection with the FY 2023-24 Annual Sidewalk Maintenance Project and establish an overall project budget of $56,276.

Rationale for Recommendation:

Every year, the City uses a portion of its restricted funds (e.g., RSTP, Gas Tax) to repair sidewalks that are in the most disrepair.

Background:

In an ongoing effort to improve city sidewalks, staff identified four locations totaling 1,100 square feet of sidewalk to be included with this year’s sidewalk maintenance program. The sidewalks slated for repairs are on several streets throughout the city (Attachment 2).

Discussion & Analysis:

Initially, staff solicited and received four bids for this project, which were opened on May 7, 2024.

At the May 28 City Council meeting, all bids were rejected, and the Council directed staff to rebid the project.

As a result, a new bid solicitation was circulated, and the second round of bids were opened on July 11, 2024. Five bids were received; however, only four bids were responsive and determined to be complete. As outlined in Attachment 3, the lowest bid was deemed non-responsive as required documents were not submitted. The qualifying bids ranged from $45,706 to $72,000.

The City Engineer’s estimate for the project was $49,000. The lowest responsible bid was submitted by Rock Creek Construction Inc. Staff have completed a check of Rock Creek Construction’s bid and found that the bid was responsive and that the bid contained the required information per the Notice to Bidders.
47 The project is determined to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA in accordance with Section 15301(c), as the project involves maintenance and repair of existing sidewalks.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

This project is consistent with Council Priority #5 Infrastructure Improvement and Goal #1 Implement the community improvement plan for streets, sidewalks, and lighting.

Fiscal Impact:

Based on the low bid for the project, the overall recommended budget for this project is as follows:

Construction: $ 45,706
Contingency (10%): $ 4,570
Construction Management/Inspection* $ 6,000
Estimated total $ 56,276
Construction Management and Inspection costs were reduced by providing inspections using both in-house staff and contracted staff. RSTP funds are being used to fund the project.
