MATTERS
44 Agenda Item #5a
City of Willows
Proclamation
National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day
WHEREAS, on December 7, 1941, as dawn broke over the island of Oahu, hundreds of bombs pierced the sky as Imperial Japanese Navy forces launched an unprovoked aerial attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, thrusting America into a conflict that would forever change the course of human dignity, freedom, and history. Although the bombardment lasted only two hours, it was devastating—destroying nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight battleships and more than 300 airplanes. The surprise assault resulted in the deaths of 2,403 unsuspecting and innocent military personnel and civilians and wounded an additional 1,178 others; and
WHEREAS, on December 8, 1941, while addressing the United States Congress concerning the surprise assault on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt requested that Congress declare war on Japan, stating, in part:
“Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.”
WHEREAS, on that day, December 8, 1941, Congress approved President Roosevelt's request for a declaration of war, officially bringing the United States into World War II; and WHEREAS, although America may have been unprepared for war, in response to the declaration of war, the American people summoned a tremendous national effort in military strength, and patriots from every corner of our Nation answered the call to serve and band together in a common cause. Sixteen million Americans left behind everything they knew and loved to fight for freedom far from home and liberate a continent from the grip of tyranny. Individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life courageously crossed oceans and stormed beaches, uplifting a generation and paving the way for our fiercest adversaries to become some of our closest allies; and
55 Agenda Item #5a
WHEREAS, the sacrifices of our military personnel at Pearl Harbor became a prelude to those that America’s brave fighting forces would endure around the world for the next three and onehalf years, and in the example of those who came forth in the months and years following the attack on Pearl Harbor, we saw an enduring truth: that no challenge is too great when we stand as one people, committed to the ideals symbolized by the stars and stripes, remembering that strength, vigilance, and devotion will forever keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate to recognize and honor America’s Greatest Generation who, through sacrifice, courage, dedication, and determination, courageously defended our Nation and preserved our freedom and also honor those American patriots who died due to their service. We resolve to keep faith with those we have loved and lost and always remember Pearl Harbor and the global conflict of World War II.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Gary Hansen, Mayor of the City of Willows, on behalf of the Willows City Council, do hereby proclaim December 7, 2023, as “Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day” in the City of Willows. I call upon the citizens of Willows to observe this solemn occasion with appropriate ceremonies and activities and to pledge eternal vigilance and strong resolve to defend our Nation and its allies from future aggression.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and have caused the seal of the City of Willows to be affixed hereto this 26th day of November 2024.

Gary Hansen, Mayor

77 About Pioneer:

An Overview for the
City of Willows
November 26, 2024
8 Agenda Item #6a
Introductions
• Gina Stassi-Vanacore: Director of Communications, Pioneer Community Energy
• Lisa DeLaby: Community Outreach Manager, Pioneer Community Energy
9 What is a CCA?
• Community Choice Aggregators (CCA) allow
local governments to purchase electricity on
behalf of customers in place of investorowned utilities (i.e., PG&E for Pioneer Community Energy’s territory)
• Energy crisis in the early 2000s prompted the
California Legislature to pass Assembly Bill
117 in 2002, enabling community choice in its
electricity provider
• The first CCA launched in 2010. Today:
o More than 25 CCAs throughout California
o Serving more than 200 communities
o Providing generation for approximately 14
million customers
10 Why Choose Pioneer?
Pioneer serves inland communities with similar priorities like customer savings, community reinvestment, exceptional customer service, and economic development
• Local Control - Pioneer is a Joint Powers Authority, a not-for-profit public agency, with a board of directors comprised of only elected officials from the jurisdictions we serve.
• Ratepayer Savings – We are committed to providing competitive electricity rates and have saved customers $85 million since launching in 2018, with an additional $21 million in savings anticipated in 2024. • Community Reinvestment - Creating opportunities to support biomass, and local power purchase agreements
- El Dorado Irrigation District ($37 million)
- PCWA (Over $10 million)
- Sierra Pacific Industries ($1.2 million)
- Grass Valley - Biomass RFP
- Western Placer Waste Management - biomass plant
11 How Does A CCA Work?
Pioneer buys electricity
from various suppliers.

The buying team works
with sources to negotiate
pricing and ensure a
steady, affordable energy
supply.

PG&E delivers
electricity, maintains
the infrastructure of
power lines and poles,
and sends out bills to
customers.

As a customer of both
Pioneer and PG&E,
customers get a choice in
electricity providers. With
Pioneer, you'll receive
competitive rates, energy
options and exceptional
customer service.

_____________________________________________________________________ Agenda Item #7c
Date: November 26, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: City Hall - Holiday Closure
Recommendation:

Authorize the City Manager to close City Hall and all non-emergency services on December 23 and 26.

Rationale for Recommendation:

City Hall will already be closed on December 24, 25, and 27 due to Council-authorized paid holidays and the current Friday closure. It will also be closed on January 1 and 3 for New Year’s Day and the current Friday closure. Most City Hall and Public Works staff are either planning to or would like to take off those additional two days. Should City Hall be closed, the city has no fiscal impact as all city employees use Vacation Leave and/or Compensatory Time Off for this leave of absence.

Background:

For the past three calendar years, City Hall has closed during the Christmas/New Year holiday. This tradition started because very few City Hall employees were available to cover the phones and counter, and in the past, some employees were prevented from using their vacation time. To avoid requiring some staff to work during the holiday week of Christmas and preventing them from using their vacation and taking leave, in 2021, line staff proposed closing during the week of Christmas.

Discussion & Analysis:

Historically, the week of Christmas has been prolonged at the front counter and on the phones. For example, the last time that City Hall was opened during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day in 2020 (which was a four-day work week), three building permits were pulled. In 2019 and 2018, respectively, one permit was pulled during the same holiday week each year.

As in most cities, there is very little building and planning activity during the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s. Staff anticipates no significant impact and/or inconvenience to the public by closing City Hall on December 23 and 26. In addition, the Municipal Code allows for emergency work (e.g., sewage line repairs). At the same time, the city is closed if the applicant comes to City Hall when it reopens to apply for a retroactive encroachment permit. This information would be publicly noticed and available on the City’s website and Facebook page.

From: Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Change Cal-Card Program to Umpqua Bank Program Recommendation:

Approve Resolution XX-2024 authorizing the City Manager to move all City employee credit cards from Cal-Card (US Bank) to the Umpqua Bank Credit Card.

Rationale for Recommendation:

The City of Willows conducts all its city business with Umpqua Bank (in Willows). It has a strong working relationship with a Personal Banker that will benefit the City in the event that it seeks a line of credit with Umpqua Bank in 2025 and/or 2026 (as discussed at the October 22 City Council meeting).

Background:

The City’s current business credit card is with the Cal-Card Program through the State Department of General Services and administered by US Bank. The City has never had a Personal Banker with US Bank because the City banks with Umpqua Bank. Therefore, communication with US Bank is complex and an “anonymous” transaction (e.g., the City must call US Bank’s 1-800 number for service). As a result, working with US Bank when we need immediate assistance has been tedious and inefficient use of staff time (e.g., being “on hold” for 30 minutes or more). Furthermore, US Bank no longer has a branch in the City of Willows.

In contrast, the City does all its banking with Umpqua Bank and has a strong working relationship with the bank. The bank has a local branch and an assigned Personal Banker to assist the City with any account issues and/or concerns.

Discussion & Analysis:

In addition to contributing to more effective and efficient working relations with Umpqua Bank and the city’s Personal Banker, the switch from the US Bank-administered Cal-Card Program to Umpqua Bank’s credit card program will also expedite and more easily facilitate the potential issuance of a line of credit should the City need to take advantage of this financial tool while waiting to receive the new sales tax revenue. In addition, the change to the Umpqua Bank credit card will also result in the following added benefits:
2952

Agenda Item #7d
 Dedicated Umpqua Bank associates offering support before and after implementation.  Allows for easy card program administrative management with full or limited access rights depending on the needs of the client.
 Issue a limitless number of virtual cards.
 Offer a Mobile Wallet option.
 Ability to search for and view specific account and/or transactions.  Seamlessly change cardholder credit limits (temporarily or permanently).  Institute spending controls such as limits and merchant restrictions.  Set up auto payment or make manual payments for balance payoff each month.  Provide direct data feed with many expense management solutions.  Provide Commercial Card Rebate/Revenue share solution with no annual fee.  Receive an annual rebate based on annual spend as follows:
o If annual combined spend is above $250,000 but below $750,000, receive 0.50% rebate. o If annual combined spend is above $750,000 but below $2,000,000, receive 0.75%* rebate. o If annual combined spend exceeds $2,000,000, receive 1.00%* rebate. • * 0.50% on all large ticket transactions and negotiated rate transactions.

Overall, the change from the Cal-Card Program to the Umpqua Bank Credit Card will result in several benefits (as outlined above), especially the City’s ability to easily and quickly access a line of credit should it need to in the future.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

The staff recommendation is consistent with Priority #1: Financial Stability.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to changing city credit cards from the US Bank-administrated Cal-Card Program to the Umpqua Bank Credit Card Program.

Subject: FY 2023-24 Annual Sidewalk Maintenance Project Improvements Recommendation:

Approve Resolution XX-2024 accepting the improvements associated with the FY 2023-24 Annual Sidewalk Maintenance Project and authorize the filing of the Notice of Completion for the project.

Background:

On July 11, 2024, the City opened public bids for the FY 2023-24 Annual Sidewalk Maintenance project. Rock Creek Construction was the low bidder. The City Council awarded the project to Rock Creek Construction at its July 23, 2024, Council meeting. The project replaced 1,100 square feet of sidewalk.

Rock Creek Construction recently completed the project to the City’s satisfaction. The total construction cost was $58,193.

Based upon the satisfactory completion of the work, Staff recommends that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize the City Engineer to file the Notice of Completion.

Fiscal Impact:

$ 45,706
$ 12,487
$ 4,203
$ 62,396
As illustrated, the overall initial project budget was exceeded. During construction, the contractor needed to replace approximately 330 additional square feet of damaged sidewalk, causing the contingency budget to be exceeded. This overage was partially offset by spending 3760

less on Construction Management and Inspection than was initially anticipated. The overall result was a budget increase of $6,120.

The source of funding for this project is the RSTP Funds. The RSTP fund has adequate funds to cover the additional $6,120.

_____________________________________________________________________ Agenda Item #8a
Date: November 26, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Joe Bettencourt, Community Development & Services Director Marti Brown, City Manager
Subject: Ordinance 760-2024 - Cannabis Retail Dispensary Business in Central Commercial Recommendation:

Conduct a Public Hearing and, upon conclusion, introduce Ordinance 760-2024 authorizing an amendment to the Willows Municipal Code chapter 18.55.030 to allow cannabis retail/dispensary businesses in the Central Commercial Zone with a Conditional Use Permit.

Rationale for Recommendation:

As directed by the Council at the September 10, 2024, City Council meeting, staff is bringing forward the first reading of Ordinance 760-2024 (Attachment 1) to allow cannabis retail/dispensary businesses in the Central Commercial Zone with a Conditional Use Permit.

Staff will publish the required public notices and hold a Public Hearing for adopting Ordinance 760- 2024 on December 10, 2024, City of Willows City Council meeting.

Background:

On November 28, 2017, the Willows City Council adopted a Cannabis Ordinance #736-2017 (Attachment 2) to facilitate the approval, regulation, and operation of cannabis businesses. This ordinance, as chaptered in the WMC along with State laws (Attachment 3) and regulations, imposes strict zoning, security, and operational requirements on cannabis dispensaries. Thereafter, the Willows City Council adopted Resolution #32-2017 (Attachment 4), which established a maximum of two licenses for cannabis retail/dispensary businesses within the City of Willows, 1,000-foot setbacks from churches, schools, licensed daycare or preschool facilities, playgrounds and/or parks for retail cannabis dispensaries and directed the Planning Commission to review zoning to determine where retail cannabis businesses could operate.

In July 2018, Ordinances #738- 2018 and #739-2018 (Attachments 5 and 6) were passed by the City Council. These ordinances amended the Willows Municipal Code to allow retail cannabis dispensaries in Highway Commercial and combined zones with a Conditional Use Permit (e.g., General Commercial/Light Industrial/Planned Development and General Commercial/Planned Development). 4366

The City of Willows Municipal Code (WMC) Section 9.20.070 allows for the commercial sale of Cannabis and Cannabis products for medical and non-medical uses, subject to the conditions set forth in this code, and only in zones in which such sales are permitted uses pursuant to WMC Title 18.

At the February 14, 2023, City Council meeting, a public hearing was held, and a Resolution was passed approving a business license for Sundial Collective. Since approval, Sundial Collective has never moved forward with the construction of the project in South Willows, and the permit has now expired. Before Sundial Collective, Element 7 was another approved dispensary application whose permit expired before the project was ever started. In both instances, the applicants would have preferred to occupy existing buildings (because they were more affordable). Still, they could not find buildings within the city limits that satisfied the city’s distance and/or zoning requirements. As a result, they resolved to construct new buildings; however, they both allowed their permits to expire, and staff could not contact them – they “disappeared.”
At the May 28, 2024, City Council meeting, Resolution #19-2024 (Attachment 7) was adopted to remove all setback requirements from churches, licensed daycares, playgrounds, and parks. Still, it retained a 1,000-foot setback requirement from schools (e.g., preschool through 12th grade). The Council also directed staff to present zoning modification options to the Planning Commission for consideration and to return to the Council with any Commission recommendations to modify the zoning for retail cannabis businesses.

At the July 17, 2024, Planning Commission meeting, staff presented this information and requested direction on whether to modify the zoning in which a retail cannabis business may operate with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The Planning Commission elected to take no action to modify the zoning in which retail cannabis businesses may operate.

The item was brought back to the City Council at the September 10, 2024, meeting, and the staff was directed to prepare an Ordinance to modify the Willows Municipal Code to allow cannabis retail/dispensary businesses in the Central Commercial, General Commercial, and Light Industrial Zones and reduce the setback from schools to 600 feet.

Discussion & Analysis:

There is minimally developed land (e.g., a suitable structure for retail cannabis dispensary businesses) in the Highway Commercial and Mixed-Use zones. Allowing cannabis retail/dispensary businesses in the Central Commercial Zone creates an opportunity for potential businesses to access developed land, which is a significant investment incentive. It is also an opportunity to direct traffic from I-5 into the city’s downtown business corridor. This has the potential to positively affect surrounding businesses by increasing foot traffic to the area. Attachment 8 is a map showing the Central Commercial Zone with a 600-foot setback from schools.

The Central Commercial zone permits the following uses:
(1) Pet shops and veterinary offices.
(2) Mortuaries and funeral parlors.
(3) Bars and cocktail lounges.
(4) Private and public parking lots.
(5) Private schools and business colleges.
4467

(6) Public schools and colleges.
(7) Martial arts and exercise studios.
(8) Health clubs.
(9) Outside sales and transient or mobile business operations. (10) New and used automobile sales, automotive rental establishments and automotive repair; provided, that these uses are located on properties fronting on Tehama Street. (11) Mini-markets without gasoline sales.
(12) Hotels, motels, and similar lodging facilities.
(13) Bed and breakfast establishments.
(14) Churches.
(15) Civic clubs.
(16) Reserved.
(17) Accessory uses, including repair operations and services. (18) Other uses which, in the opinion of the planning commission, are like those uses listed. (19) Uses and structures with drive-through windows.

Consistency with Council Priorities and Goals:

Consideration of allowing Retail Cannabis Dispensary Businesses in the Central Commercial Zone is consistent with the Council’s Priority #1: Financial Stability, and Priority #2: Economic Development.

Fiscal Impact:

While it is uncertain exactly how much revenue might be generated by modifying the zoning for retail cannabis dispensary businesses, two retail business licenses in the city limits would certainly increase sales tax revenue and encourage the placement of a local cannabis business tax on a future ballot.
