CITY OF YREKA

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Prepared by: Juliana Lucchesi, AICP, Planning Director
Agenda Title: 2022 Annual Progress Report
Meeting date: March 7, 2023
Recommended Action:

Motion to approve City Council Resolution 2023-09 “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Yreka Approving the Transmission of the 2022 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Report”
Summary:

The Annual Progress Report (APR) is a state mandated form that is transmitted to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) pursuant to Government Code Section 65400. The purpose of this document is to report on the City of Yreka’s progress in implementing the General Plan. The APR is due to the state by April 1 of each year.

Background:

The City of Yreka’s 2002 General Plan expired in 2022, which has led to a comprehensive General Plan update that began in November 2021. The City Planning Department is managing the General Plan update process through 2024. The comprehensive update process includes visioning, updates to elements to meet state mandates, and refresh of elements to address community needs and opportunities. The Department has completed the update to the Housing Element and will complete draft forms of the remaining elements by the end of 2023. The draft elements will then be environmentally reviewed under CEQA in 2024.

Minor updates to the 2002 Circulation and Safety Elements were completed to address SB 743 Vehicle Miles Traveled, climate change and hazard mitigations, and SB 1000 environmental justice mandates. The minor amendments were approved by the Planning Commission May 18, 2022 and City Council June 7, 2022.
45 of 140
In addition to the General Plan update, the Planning Department implemented a number of efficiency programs and code updates. The following ordinances were updated in 2022:
• Ordinance #866 Adoption of SB 1383 Edible Food Recovery Ordinance • Ordinance #867 Amendments to Chapter 16.44 “Conditional Use Permit” • Ordinance #868 Creation of Chapter 16.59 “Nonconforming Lots, Uses, and Structures”
• Ordinance #869 Creation of Chapter 16.57 “Rezoning and Zoning Text Amendment Procedure”
• Ordinance #870 Amendments to Chapter 16.58 “Variances” • Urgency Ordinance #871 Creation of Chapter 9.45 “Critical Infrastructure” • Ordinance #872 Creation of “Military Equipment” Ordinance • Ordinance #873 Creation of Chapter 9.45 “Critical Infrastructure” Ordinance
Building Department:

The Building Department issued 139 building permits that total $16,838,353.25 in valuation. Only one single-family building permit was issued for 502 Sherman Street. The estimated value of the residential permit indicates that it could be sold or rented at a moderate income level. This is a reissuance for a Building Permit started in 2018 that had stalled in construction. The Building Department finaled 88 building permits. Only one above moderate income single-family residence was finaled in 2022.

SUMMARY OF ADOPTED URGENCY ORDINANCE No. 864
Please take notice that the Yreka City Council adopted, at an emergency meeting held on July 29, 2021, a temporary urgency ordinance, number 864, entitled: “AN UNCODIFIED URGENCY

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF YREKA DECLARING A LOCAL EMERGENCY, AND AUTHORIZING THE

DELAY OF THE SALE AND USE OF FIREWORKS WHICH MAY CREATE A THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY

DEEMED TO BE ARISING FROM THE INCIDENCE OF THE LAVA FIRE AND SETTING FORTH THE FACTS CONSTITUTING SUCH URGENCY AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE EXEMPT FROM CEQA REVIEW” This urgency ordinance generally provides:

1. The factual background of the Lava Fire, the drought, the prevailing climatic temperatures and the fact that Yreka’s Fire Resources are engaged in mutual aid to suppress the Lava Fire as well as the allocation of law enforcement resources in traffic control and the fact that without Yreka’s normally available police and fire resources, the use of fireworks and pyrotechnics fire may not be able to be suppressed which was found to constitute the basis for the urgency nature of the ordinance and the City Council determined that there existed an immediate threat to the public health, safety and/or welfare and a need for immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety that warrants the adopted urgency measures.

2. The ordinance delays the sale of fireworks and the use of fireworks and public displays of pyrotechnics until the threat to public safety is abated and the urgency ordinance is terminated.

3. The city council determined that a local emergency now exists and shall continue to exist until its termination is ordained by the City Council. The need for continuance of the urgency measures will be regularly reviewed by City Council until it is terminated. The ordinance will be terminated at the earliest possible time.

4. The ordinance vests in the City Manager, Chief of Police and the Fire Chief with the discretion to take such acts as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of the ordinance.

5. The Council determined that the ordinance complies with a categorical exemption from CEQA review.

By roll call vote the following councilmembers voted in favor of the ordinance: Duane Kegg, Deborah Baird, Paul McCoy and Corey Middleton.

This summary is not intended to be a comprehensive statement of all of the provisions of the Ordinance, but constitutes only a fair summary of the Ordinance. The complete text of the Ordinance and the minutes of the emergency session is available for review online in Yreka’s City Council Agenda section or through a public records request as an in-person review of it is not available because City Hall is not currently open to the public.

5.13 Warranty of Contractor: CITY warrants that it, and each of its personnel, where necessary, are properly certified and licensed under the laws and regulations of the State of California to provide the special services agreed to.

5.14 Withholding for Non-Resident Contractor: Pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 18662, payments made to nonresident independent contractors, including corporations and partnerships that do not have a permanent place of business in this state, are subject to 7 percent state income tax withholding.

55 of 140

11 8.11 Materiality: The parties consider each and every term, covenant, and provision of this Contract to be material and reasonable.

8.12 Authority and Capacity: CITY and CITY’s signatory each warrant and represent that each has full authority and capacity to enter into this Contract.

8.13 Binding on Successors: All of the conditions, covenants and terms herein contained shall apply to, and bind, the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of CITY. CITY and all of CITY’s heirs, successors, executors, administrators, and assigns shall be jointly and severally liable under the Contract.

8.14 Cumulation of Remedies: All of the various rights, options, elections, powers and remedies of the parties shall be construed as cumulative, and no one of them exclusive of any other or of any other legal or equitable remedy which a party might otherwise have in the event of a breach or default of any condition, covenant or term by the other party.

The parties expressly assume the risk of the facts turning out to be different and agree that this Contract shall be effective in all respects and shall not be subject to rescission by reason of any such difference in facts.

8.16 Electronic Communications: During the course of the performance of Services, communications may occur through sending, receiving or exchanging electronic versions of documents and e-mails using commercially available computer software and Internet access. County and the City acknowledge that the Internet is occasionally victimized by the creation and dissemination of so-called viruses, or similar destructive electronic programs. County and the City view the issues raised by these viruses seriously and have invested in document and e-mail scanning software that identify and reject files containing known viruses. Each party agrees to update its system with the software vendor’s most current releases at regular intervals. Because of the virus scanning software, the respective computer systems of the parties may occasionally reject a communication. The parties acknowledge that this occurrence is to be expected as part of the ordinary course of business. Because the virus protection industry is generally one or two steps behind new viruses, neither party can guarantee that its respective communications and documents will be virus free.

Occasionally, a virus will escape and go undetected as it is passed from system to system. Although each party will use all reasonable efforts to assure that its 61 of 140
12 communications are virus free, neither party warrants that its documents will be virus free. Each party agrees to advise the other if it discovers a virus in its respective system that may have been communicated to the other party.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, County and CITY have executed this agreement on the dates set forth below, each signatory represents that they have the authority to execute this agreement and to bind the Party on whose behalf their execution is made.

I. Scope of Services:

The Yreka Police Department Homeless Liaison Officer will follow the Yreka Police Department Homeless Persons policy, 424, Attachment ‘A1’.

Duties and Responsibilities
The Yreka Police Department Homeless Liaison Officer is responsible for making connections between those experiencing homelessness and the resources available to further their specific housing/service goals.

3. Offering reasonable support to the target population and learning about their needs/concerns.

Policy 424 - Yreka Police Department
Yreka PD Policy Manual
Homeless Persons
424.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that personnel understand the needs and rights of the homeless and to establish procedures to guide officers during all contacts with the homeless, whether consensual or for enforcement purposes. The Yreka Police Department recognizes that members of the homeless community are often in need of special protection and services. The Yreka Police Department will address these needs in balance with the overall mission of this department. Therefore, officers will consider the following when serving the homeless community.
424.1.1 POLICY
It is the policy of the Yreka Police Department to provide law enforcement services to all members of the community, while protecting the rights, dignity and private property of the homeless. Homelessness is not a crime and members of this department will not use homelessness solely as a basis for detention or law enforcement action. 424.2 HOMELESS COMMUNITY LIAISON
The Chief of Police will designate a member of this department to act as the Homeless Liaison Officer. The responsibilities of the Homeless Liaison Officer include the following:
(a) Maintain and make available to all department employees a list of assistance programs and other resources that are available to the homeless. (b) Meet with social services and representatives of other organizations that render assistance to the homeless.
(c) Maintain a list of the areas within and near this jurisdiction that are used as frequent homeless encampments.
(d) Remain abreast of laws dealing with the removal and/or destruction of the personal property of the homeless. This will include as set out by city ordinance:

1. Proper posting of notices of trespass and clean-up operations.

2. Proper retention of property after clean-up, to include procedures for owners to reclaim their property in accordance with the Property and Evidence Policy and other established procedures.
(e) Be present during any clean-up operation conducted by this department involving the removal of personal property of the homeless to ensure that the rights of the homeless are not violated.
(f) Develop training to assist officers in understanding current legal and social issues relating to the homeless.
424.3 FIELD CONTACTS
Officers are encouraged to contact the homeless for purposes of rendering aid, support and for community-oriented policing purposes. Nothing in this policy is meant to dissuade an officer from taking reasonable enforcement action when facts support a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. However, when encountering a homeless person who has committed a nonviolent misdemeanor and continued freedom is not likely to result in a continuation of the offense or a breach of the peace, officers are encouraged to consider long-term solutions to problems that may relate to the homeless, such as shelter referrals and counseling in lieu of physical arrest. Officers should provide homeless persons with resource and assistance information whenever it is reasonably apparent that such services may be appropriate. 65 of 140
16 424.3.1 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
CITY will not discriminate against homeless members of the community as to the level and quality of service as may be provided to other members of the community. The fact that a victim or witness is homeless can, however, require special considerations for a successful investigation and prosecution. Officers should consider the following when handling investigations involving homeless victims, witnesses or suspects:
(a) Document alternate contact information. This may include obtaining addresses and phone numbers of relatives and friends.
(b) Document places the homeless person may frequent.
(c) Provide homeless victims with victim/witness resources when appropriate. (d) Obtain statements from all available witnesses in the event that a homeless victimis unavailable for a court appearance.
(e) Consider whether the person may be a dependent adult or elder, and if so, proceed in accordance with the Adult Abuse Policy.
(f) Arrange for transportation for investigation-related matters, such as medical exams and court appearances.
(g) Consider whether a crime should be reported and submitted for prosecution, even when a homeless victim indicates that he/she does not desire prosecution. 424.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY
The personal property of homeless persons is not in violation of law their personal property will be treated similarly to the property of other members of the public. Officers should use reasonable care when handling, collecting and retaining the personal property of homeless persons and should not destroy or discard the personal property of a homeless person. When a homeless person is arrested or otherwise removed from a public place, officers should make reasonable accommodations to permit the person to lawfully secure his/her personal property. Otherwise, the personal property should be collected as provided by ordinance. If the arrestee has more personal property than can reasonably be collected and transported by the officer, a supervisor should be consulted. The property should be photographed and measures should be taken to remove or secure the property. It will be the supervisor’s responsibility to coordinate the removal and safekeeping of the property.

In the discretion of the city’s chain of command, officers should not conduct or assist in cleanup operations of belongings that reasonably appear to be the property of homeless persons without the prior authorization of a supervisor or the department Homeless Liaison Officer.

When practicable, requests by the public for clean-up of a homeless encampment should be referred to the Homeless Liaison Officer.

Officers who encounter unattended encampments which are not otherwise in violation of law, bedding or other personal property in public areas that reasonably appears to belong to a homeless person should not remove or destroy such property and should inform the department Homeless Liaison Officer if such property appears to involve a trespass, blight to the community or is the subject of a complaint. It will be the responsibility of the Homeless Liaison Officer to address the matter in a timely fashion as the budget permits. 424.5 MENTAL ILLNESS AND MENTAL IMPAIRMENT
Some homeless persons may suffer from a mental illness or a mental impairment. Officers should not detain a homeless person under a mental illness commitment unless facts and circumstances warrant such a detention (see the Crisis Intervention Incidents Policy).

When a mental illness hold is not warranted in the officer’s opinion, the contacting officer should provide the homeless person with contact information for mental health assistance as appropriate. Inthese circumstances, officers may provide transportation to a mental health specialist if requested by the person and approved by a supervisor and if permitted by city 66 of 140
17 policy and its insurance obligations.
424.6 ECOLOGICAL ISSUES
Sometimes homeless encampments can impact the ecology and natural resources of the community and may involve criminal offenses beyond mere littering. Officers are encouraged to notify other appropriate agencies or departments when a significant impact to the environment has or is likely to occur. Significant impacts to the environment may warrant a crime report, investigation, supporting photographs and supervisor notification. 67 of 140

Exhibit “A”
The Yreka Police Department Homeless Liaison Officer will follow the Yreka Police Department Homeless Persons policy, 424
Duties and Responsibilities
The Yreka Police Department Homeless Liaison Officer is responsible for making connections between those experiencing homeless and the resources available to further their specific housing/service goals.

This includes, but is not limited to, making referrals to providers of housing/shelter programs, mental health treatment, substance use treatment, mainstream benefits, education, and employment training.

The Homeless Liaison Officer will maintain a level of skill and knowledge equivalent to that required for the Behavioral Health Specialist position within HHSA. If that is not possible, the officer will work in close coordination with a Behavioral Health Specialist from HHSA who provides crisis support, case management, and rehabilitation skills. The Homeless Liaison’s initial duties will include:
• Working a typical day shift patrol duty. The primary responsibility will be to respond to homeless and mental health related calls for service.
• Contacting the unhoused and establishing a rapport with them. • Offering support to the target population and learning about their needs/concerns. • Patrolling areas of the unhoused campsites and known resting locations. • Providing referrals to mental health evaluations.
• Maintaining partnerships with providers and current knowledge of resources for those who are homeless.
• Educating the target population on the resources available to those experiencing homelessness. • Sharing insights regarding the needs of the target population with the CoC Advisory Board. • Participating in the Homeless Multidisciplinary Team as requested by HHSA. • Assisting with the annual Point-in-Time Counts as requested by the CoC Advisory Board. And staffing warming shelters as the need arises.
• Collect program data as appropriate as well as updating the CoC board with the data.

The Homeless Liaison Officer will receive support from other staff in completing the above assignments.

The Yreka Police Department (YPD) plans to initially assign part-time Police Officers to this project as often as the Department’s capacity allows. After the program has established itself YPD intends to fill the position with full time Police Officer(s), as funding allows. The Homeless Liaison Officer and team members on the project will work under the supervision of the Chief of Police. 91 of 140
Billing
Billing will reflect the hours dedicated to the program. The Yreka Police Department will commit to the equivalent of 312 hours per month, 3,744 hours per year. The hours per year will be broken into four categories. The assigned Homeless Liaison Officer will work 1,560 hours per year. The assistant Homeless Liaison Officer will work 624 hours per year. Level 1 Reserve Police Officers will be assigned to assist the Homeless Liaison Officer for 1,040 hours per year. Full time patrol Police Officers will be assigned to 520 hours per year assisting the Homeless Liaison Officer on overtime.

In addition to the actual hours worked, mentioned above, there will be a yearly cost of a vehicle assigned to the Homeless Liaison Officer. The yearly cost of the vehicle is $9,250.00.

The listed hours and cost of a vehicle are slightly over the threshold provided with this MOU. The hours will be monitored by a Homeless Liaison Supervisor and may be adjusted. The reason for adjustments may be an emergency call out situation or miscellaneous needs as they arise. This would include being called in to staff a warming shelter, fire evacuations, training, etc. The Homeless Liaison Supervisor will adjust the hours throughout the year to stay within the budget.

The monthly costs of services to be performed are $13,333 per month, $160,000 per year. The Yreka Police Department agrees to monitor the hours worked and include that number in the monthly reports at the Continuum of Care meetings. Any cost above the threshold provided by this MOU will be paid by the Yreka Police Department overtime budget.

Training
The Homeless Liaison Officer will receive training from the Behavioral Health Division of HHSA, California POST approved trainers, as well as other relevant and approved trainings as necessary. The Homeless Liaison Officer will be required to complete the POST approved course of instruction within one year of accepting the assignment. For example, the Anaheim Police Department has successfully developed courses for a similar role that may be utilized. A screenshot of these trainings is included below. 92 of 140

Commissioners pursuant to AB 2449 notification requirements.

MEETING DATE: 03/07/2023
Discussion:

On February 21, 2023, the Council was introduced to upcoming changes with respect to remote meetings (AB 2449) and the Brown Act. The bill further amends the Brown Act regarding remote (teleconference) participation in meetings of legislative bodies that are subject to the Brown Act by allowing individual members of legislative bodies increased flexibility to participate in meetings via teleconference in the event of a personal emergency, without a declared state of emergency, provided that certain requirements are met. The form being reintroduced tonight would be used by City Councilmembers, Committee members and Planning Commissioners to notice the Clerk of their remote attendance following the new guidelines.

Requested Action:

Approval of the Remote Public Meeting form for Notification of Remote Meeting Attendance by City Councilmembers, Committee members and Planning Commissioners pursuant to AB 2449 notification requirements
Attachments: City of Yreka Teleconferencing Opt-In Form 93 of 140

TELECONFERENCING OPT-IN FORM
Brown Act

To All Interested Parties:

RE: Notice of Availability/Offer to Sell Surplus Property in the City of Yreka Pursuant to California Government Code Section 54220 et seq. (“the Act”) As required by Government Code Section 54220 of the State of California, the City of Yreka (“City”) is providing notification that the City intends to sell the surplus property listed in the accompanying table.

In accordance with Government Code Section 54222, you have sixty (60) days from the date this offer was sent via certified mail or electronic mail to notify the City of your interest in acquiring the property. However, this offer shall not obligate the City to sell the property to you. Instead, the City would enter into at least ninety (90) days of negotiations with you pursuant to Government Code Section 54223. If no agreement is reached on sales price and terms, or lease terms, the City may market the property to the general public.

As required by Government Code Section 54227, if the City receives more than one letter of interest during this 60 day period, it will give first priority to entities proposing to develop housing where at least 25 percent of the units will be affordable to lower income households. If more than one such proposal is received, priority will be given to the proposal with the greatest number of affordable units. If more than one proposal specifies the same number of affordable units, priority will be given to the proposal that has the lowest average affordability level.

In the event your agency or company is interested in purchasing the property, you must notify the City in writing within sixty (60) days of the date this notice was sent via certified mail or electronic mail. Notice of your interest in acquiring the property shall be delivered to Jason Ledbetter, City Manager, at 701 Fourth Street, Yreka, CA, 96097.

You may also direct your questions to [email protected] or by calling (530) 841- 2326.

Entities proposing to submit a letter of interest are advised to review the requirements set forth in the Surplus Land Act (Government Code Section 54220-54234). 114 of 140

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YREKA

DECLARING TWO CITY-OWNED PROPERTIES AS SURPLUS LAND AND

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO TAKE

IMPLEMENTING ACTIONS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT (GOVERNMENT CODE SECTIONS 54220 ET SEQ.) WHEREAS, the City of Yreka, California (“City”) is the owner in fee simple of parcels of real property located on the east side of Campus Drive in Yreka, California and identifed by Assessor’s Parcel Numbers [“APNs”] 062‐031‐200 and 062‐031‐250 (“the Parcels”); and WHEREAS, each of these parcels is zoned M-1 (light industrial); and WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2020, under the Surplus Land Act (“SLA”) Government Code Section 54220-54233, surplus property is defined as land owned in fee simple by the City for which the City Council takes formal action in a regular public meeting declaring the land is surplus and not necessary for the City’s use; and
WHEREAS, under the SLA, land is necessary for the City’s use if the land is being used, or is planned to be used pursuant to a written plan adopted by the City Council, for City work or operations; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to declare that each of the Parcels, totaling approximately

2.96 acres, is surplus land because it is not necessary for the City’s use; and WHEREAS, the City intends to follow the provisions of the SLA in the disposition of public lands; and
WHEREAS, the process described in the SLA should take place prior to taking any further actions regarding the disposition of the Surplus Properties; and WHEREAS, this declaration of surplus land does not obligate the City to subsequently dispose of the land and the City could still decide not to move forward with disposition of specific properties.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council hereby resolves as follows:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution.

SECTION 2. The above recitals and the findings in Exhibit “A” are integral to this Resolution and are incorporated herein.

SECTION 3. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”). 116 of 140
Resolution No. 2022-11 Declaration of Surplus Land – Campus Drive Pg. 2 of 2 City staff has determined that the designation of this property as surplus does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Adoption of the Resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the property is sold or leased to a purchaser and that purchaser proposes a use for the property that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.

SECTION 4. The City Manager or his or her designee is authorized to submit the report of declared surplus land and exempt surplus land as part of the Annual Report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), in conformance with state law, and the City Clerk shall file a Notice of Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15062.

SECTION 5. The City Manager or his or her designee is hereby authorized to do all things which are deemed necessary or proper to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution, and any such actions previously taken are hereby ratified and confirmed. Such actions include negotiating in good faith in accordance with the requirements of the SLA with any of the authorized entities that submit a written notice of interest to purchase or lease the property in compliance with the SLA.

SECTION 5. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage.

Passed and adopted this 5th day of April, 2022 in a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Yreka by the following vote:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
To: Yreka City Council
From: Matthew Bray, Director of Public Works
Prepared by: Cynthia Lynch, Municipal Projects Manager
Agenda title: Discussion/Possible Action: Adopt Resolution 2023-11 Authorizing the City Manager to Award a Construction Contract to Site Work Solutions, Inc. for the Wastewater Collection System Improvements Project in the Amount of $6,104,627.00 for the Base Bid, and to Execute Related Documents
Meeting date: March 7, 2023
Recommendation and Requested Action:

That Council adopt Resolution 2023-11 authorizing the City Manager to award a construction contract to Site Work Solutions, Inc. for the Wastewater Collection System Improvements Project in the amount of $6,104,627.00 for the base bid, and to execute related documents.

Discussion:

On February 23, 2023, bids were opened for the Wastewater Collection System Improvements Project. The results of the bid opening are as follows:

Name Location Total Base Bid
Timberworks Mt. Shasta, CA $7,369,700.00
SnL Group, Inc. Redding, CA $6,299,912.00
Site Works Solutions Redding, CA $6,104,627.00
Allen Gill Construction Palo Cedro, CA $6,413,243.00
Preliminary Cost Estimate $6,200,000.00
This project involves installing approximately 17,200 linear feet of sewer piping; 1,100 linear feet of water piping; 34 new manholes; 215 two-way cleanouts; 22 backcheck valves; 2 fire hydrants; and 105,000 square feet of chip seal for street restoration. The work will be done in several areas around the City, including Burgess St., Third St., Yama St., North St., and Knapp St., among others.

City staff and PACE Engineering have evaluated the bidder’s license status, bid bond, and insurance company information and have confirmed that the bidder is not debarred from working on projects in California. Staff finds the bid is responsive and the bidder is responsible. The bid amount is reasonable given the current costs of labor and materials. It is recommended, pending City Attorney approval, that the City Council approve the attached Resolution to authorize the City 119 of 140

Page 2 of 2 ends

Manager to award a construction contract and execute various agreements for the construction of this project.

Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact of awarding the $6,104,627 construction project is offset by a Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) construction grant in the amount of $5,500,000.00 with no match required; the excess cost was anticipated and will be funded by sewer reserves. Since the State has been routinely granting requests for more funding for construction projects, the City will be seeking more grant funding from CWSRF to cover the increased cost of the project. 120 of 140

Discussion:
“Mr. Mayor” (and Councilmembers)
“I am writing on behalf of the Karuk Tribe and the team members at Rain Rock Casino, and ask if the City of Yreka would send a letter to the Assistant Secretary opposing the Coquille Indian Tribe’s application to transfer land in Medford, Oregon into trust for the purpose of opening a second gaming facility. A casino in Medford could have long term devastating effects on the Rain Rock Casino and the city we operate in.

We would appreciate anything the city would do, I have drafted a sample letter for your review.

Again thank you for all the city has done for us and the great partnership we have developed….” Michael G Rose

[email protected]
RE: City of Yreka’s Opposition to the Coquille Indian Tribe’s Medford Project; DEIS Comments, Coquille Tribe Medford Gaming Facility Project Dear Assistant Secretary Newland,
I am writing on behalf of the City of Yreka (“City”) to oppose the Coquille Indian Tribe’s (“Coquille’s”) application to transfer fee land in Medford, Oregon into trust for the purpose of opening a second gaming facility (the “Medford Project”). This letter responds to your request for comments in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Medford Project (“DEIS”), published in the Federal Register on December 20, 2022, 87 Fed. Reg. 77,877. The City opposes the Medford Project and the approval of this current DEIS because the U.S. Department of Interior (“Department”) understates the project impacts by (1) failing to address the harm that will occur to California municipalities, in addition to California tribes; and (2) failing to consider the significant changed circumstances since the previous initial National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) analysis.
(1) The Department Understates the Medford Project Impacts by Failing to Address the Harm that Will Occur to California Municipalities and Tribes The current DEIS is based on the 2015 scoping process, which identified a project that was quite narrow. Since 2015, the Southern Oregon and Northern California regions have undergone significant changes and events which have dramatically altered the ramifications of your determination, including a new casino located in the City. As you are no doubt aware, municipalities in California work closely with federally recognized Indian tribes in their jurisdictions to amicably provide support for municipalities affected by Indian gaming facilities.

The City benefits from such a relationship with the Karuk Tribe’s Rain Rock Casino (“Rain Rock”), which the City fears could be forced to close its doors as a result of the reasonably foreseeable outcome from your decision. The City is approximately 50 miles south of Medford. The proposed Medford Project would cause direct and indirect fiscal impacts on the City, due to its impact on the Rain Rock facility and the reduced benefits that the City would receive. Your DEIS has made no mention and provided no consideration of these impacts, which cannot be ignored in your decisionmaking. 125 of 140
Since its development, the City has benefitted greatly from Rain Rock through its 2014 Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) with the Karuk Tribe. Through the IGA, the Karuk Tribe provides the City with:
• Wastewater capacity payments as well as payments to construct improvements for existing wastewater collection systems;
• Construction and dedication of wastewater facilities; • Payment of fees for public facilities, citywide streets, storm drainage, water systems and wastewater collection systems for commercial developers; • Law enforcement costs, including for a police cruiser and associated costs, for a full-time equivalent police officer including salary, benefits and overtime, for training of police officers, for services for events and for radio communications equipment; • Payments for fire department and protection services, including for increases in and improvements to emergency response capabilities and construction of hydrants; • Construction of or payment for infrastructure projects and road improvements, including increased emergency access roads and turn lanes, construction of sidewalks and additions of roads to the Karuk Tribe’s Indian Reservation Roads Inventory list for maintenance and care; • Construction of stormwater facilities; and
• Traffic control costs for the Siskiyou County Fair and two additional events per year, traffic mitigation and safety costs, funding improvements to intersections and transportation and traffic studies.

Additionally, the Karuk Tribe agreed to work with the City to employ qualified City residents at Rain Rock. Many City residents are employed by or provide support services to Rain Rock.

If the Medford Project is allowed to proceed, it would undercut the Karuk Tribe’s ability to provide these services, which would directly impact the City. Coquille’s own DEIS indicates the Medford Project would cause a loss in gaming revenue for the Karuk Tribe of at least 27.2%. The DEIS makes no attempt to relate this decrease in Karuk income to fiscal impacts on related municipalities; however, the City’s economy, governmental services, unemployment rates and socioeconomics would all be significantly impacted. The DEIS should investigate and disclose these impacts and the Department should include these local land use impacts in both its NEPA decision and in its fee-to-trust decision.
(2) The Department Understates the Medford Project Impacts by Failing to Consider the Significant Changed Circumstances Since the Previous Initial NEPA Analysis The City is also concerned that the full impact of the Medford Project is not being studied, as circumstances have changed including the development of Rain Rock (which provides excellent employment opportunities to City residents) and the impact that recent and threatened wildfires have had on the local economies. The economies in Northern California are affected by these regional actions which have changed the backdrop to the impacts from the Coquille Medford Project. The DEIS is flawed due to its complete omission of the current scenario under which your decision will be made. The City urges you to pause this process and properly consider the current circumstances as the baseline to your decision.
126 of 140
The scope of the Medford Project has also increased significantly since it was first scoped in 2015.

This Medford Project is stated as a 2.4-acre fee-to-transfer application (one tax lot); however, since the 2015 scoping process, Coquille has acquired multiple (45) properties surrounding the 2.4-acre property, including the 2020 development of a large hotel adjacent to the facility. The DEIS only peripherally mentions the adjacent hotel and fails to acknowledge that a reasonably foreseeable effect of the Department’s approval of the land into trust for gaming purposes is to have Coquille develop a very large Class III gaming facility. The DEIS should include in its analysis the likelihood of the development of a much larger project than the understated 2.4-acre bowling alley transformation, given the large Coquille land holdings and ancillary Coquille projects such as the adjacent Coquille hotel. The DEIS analysis should include all reasonably foreseeable impacts associated with the Department’s decision, including the impacts to California’s tribes and municipalities if allowed to proceed.

If you have any questions, or need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

CITY OF YREKA

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
To: Yreka City Council
From: Jason Ledbetter, City Manager
Prepared By: Jason Ledbetter, City Manager
Agenda Title: Resolution 2023-12 of the City Council of the City of Yreka Supporting State Legislation to Revise the Boundaries of the Sierra Nevada Conservancy Region to Include all Areas and Watersheds of Siskiyou and Modoc Counties.

Meeting Date: March 7, 2023
Discussion:

California forests and watersheds are at a critical point. Ongoing drought, tree mortality, low snowpack, and a century of fire suppression, have led to an increase in large, high severity wildfires.

This measure will expand the region of the Sierra Nevada Conservancy to add the upper watershed areas of the Klamath River in Siskiyou County and Modoc County. This area is of critical natural and cultural value to the State of California. The Sierra Nevada Conservancy can service the new areas by increasing the pace and scale of forest restoration through its Watershed Improvement Program (WIP), a crucial program to ensure the resilience of the natural resources of these watersheds and the communities that depend on them.

The Sierra Nevada Conservancy was created by bipartisan legislation and signed into California law in 2004. The Sierra Nevada Conservancy was created with the understanding that the environmental, economic, and social well-being of the Sierra Nevada - Cascade region and its communities are closely linked and that the region and the State of California would benefit from an organization providing a strategic direction. In the original legislation, the definition of the region was established to include areas lying within 22 counties of California, including the Counties of Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, El Dorado, Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Lassen, Madera, Mariposa, Modoc, Mono, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Tehama, Tulare, Tuolumne, and Yuba. In 2021, SB 208 (Dahle) added areas within the Counties of Siskiyou and Trinity to the region.

Senator Dahle introduced SB 841 last week, the bill would change the boundary of the Sierra Nevada Conservancy region to include all of Siskiyou and Modoc Counties. The modification will add the upper watershed area of the Klamath River in both Siskiyou County and Modoc County to the Sierra Nevada Conservancy. SB 841 will remove capacity barriers, and provide both Siskiyou County and Modoc County, and all eligible entities and Tribes within the region, more equitable access to State resources through the Sierra Nevada Conservancy for county-wide and regional planning and implementation of critical watershed improvements; cross-jurisdictional collaboration; establishment of co-stewardship plans with Tribes; preservation of working landscapes; wildfire risk reduction; growth of the regional stewardship economy; increased outdoor recreation access and opportunity in the region; protection, conservation, and restoration the region's physical, cultural, archaeological, historical, and living resources.

Similar Resolutions were adopted by the Modoc County Board of Supervisors on January 10th 2023 and the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors on January 17th 2023. 128 of 140

MEETING DATE: March 7, 2023
Discussion:

The City of Yreka is applying for $2,500,000 of grant funds for Wildfire Prevention. Within the grant, the City will seek to cover staffing costs for public works crew and mechanic, equipment, and contract services for fire line and I5 corridor grass and brushland clearance through January 2029.

City staff has met with and is continuing discussions on the project with local fire professionals on project scope, community needs, and current Fire Safe Council mapping projects, and information contained in the California Wildfire Protection Program documents to help refine project scope and collaboration projects.

Project Budget:

Equipment: Procure air curtain burner for fuel disposal, skid steer (bobcat), mastication equipment and excavator (initial equipment quotes are just under $650,000) Staffing: Cover public works crew members and mechanics to operate and maintain the equipment. The city is uniquely qualified to house, maintain, and operate this equipment with its depth of trained equipment operator’s, Class A drivers, and highly skilled mechanics and shop, (initial estimates over 5 years $850,000).

Collaboration and Contract Services: For larger fuel reduction work, the City will seek contract services for specific public, tribal and private lands, focus initially in this project on the Interstate 5 Corridor inside City Limits with the City’s zip code (sphere of influence radius) for fuel reductions ($700,000) through January 2029.

Indirect Cost Recovery: The grant provides for a 12% indirect cost recovery for grant administration ($300,000).

Project Outcomes
(1) Be a north county resource for woody waste disposal for residents and fuel reduction projections utilizing the air curtain burner that prevents burning emissions from residential, commercial burns.
(2) Reduce woody waste stream product into transfer stations. 136 of 140
S:\City Council\Council Agenda packet\2023 - City Council Agenda Packets\03 March 2023\2023-03- 07\CalFire Grant Resolution\Staff Report CalFire Wildfire Prevention Grant.docx (3) Over the course of the project, utilizing the City’s anticipated Fire Resilience Official facilitate outreach to residents on woody (and in the future green waste reduction) and processing of eligible waste byproduct in air curtain.
(4) Support FireSafe and other organizations in providing alternative options for woody/brush waste disposal services.
(5) Build internal capacity to address regional Yreka hardening with mastication of clearance of identified fire risk areas.
(6) Work to eliminate City outdoor burn permits, reduce smoke and fire emissions, with climate friendly air curtain waste disposal options.
(7) Situates the City for a component of compliance with SB1383 that requires alternate waste disposal, where SB 1383 regulations require the City to conduct education and outreach on organics recycling to all residents, businesses (including those that generate edible food that can be donated) haulers, solid waste facilities, and local food banks and other food recovery organizations.

Fiscal Impact:

The grant provides for equipment, salaries and benefits of direct costs, and up to 12% of administrative costs (indirect costs). The City is finalizing the budget for the grant but is requesting to apply for up to $2,500,000 of the eligible $5,000,000 grant limit.
