AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Prepared by: Juliana Lucchesi, AICP, Planning Director
Agenda Title: 2023 Annual Progress Report
Meeting date: March 19, 2024
Recommended Action:

Motion to approve City Council Resolution 2024-12 “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Yreka Approving the Transmission of the 2023 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.

General Plan Implementation:

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 2025 with a comprehensive zoning code update. The comprehensive update process includes visioning, updates to elements to meet state mandates, and refresh of elements to address community needs and opportunities.

The City of Yreka approved the Housing Element in February 2023. The adopted Element was subsequently certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development in August of 2023. The City has begun implementation of the programs with a status on each presented in Attachment 2. The zoning code updates prescribed in the Housing Element Programs are delayed from 2024 adoption to 2025 with the General Plan update. The combination of the two efforts will decrease the overall cost to the city.

In addition to the Housing Element program implementation, state regulation requires the City under the new Affirmatively Further Fair Housing(AFFH) laws to Yreka City Council Agenda
March 19, 2024

make meaningful progress on AFFH specific programs. Attachment 3 contains the status report of
The following ordinances were updated in 2023:
• Ordinance #874 Ban on Personal Fireworks Chapter 9.70 • Ordinance #875 Chapter 2.10 Employee Personnel System and Chapter

2.50 Nepotism
• Uncodified Ordinance #876 Determining that there was no majority protect of the proposed water and wastewater rate increases
Building Department:

The Building Department issued 150 building permits that total $3,935,581.43 in valuation. The City issued one single-family residential permit and finaled one single-family residential permit. The estimated value of the residential permit indicates that both housing units could be sold or rented at the above moderateincome level.

There was a loss of two residential housing units through demolition permits. One demolition permit was instigated by the City of Yreka as a code enforcement action and the other was due to a propane accident in 2021. There are no plans to replace the two residential housing units on those properties at this time.

The demolition of two residential units and the issuance and final of two residential units creates a zero net loss of units within the City keeping the City in compliance with No Net Loss laws.

The background studies will include an evaluation of the financial feasibility and resource requirements to implement either a housing impact fee or an inclusionary housing ordinance. The feasibility analysis will also assess the impact of a fee or ordinance on the financial feasibility of a prototype rental project in Yreka (similar to what a developer would do when considering a market‐rate housing project). The financial feasibility study should include a pro forma analysis (i.e., a comparison of development costs and rental revenues) of a prototype rental development to determine if a housing impact fee or an inclusionary housing ordinance would affect the financial feasibility of development. For either approach, the City may consider allocating collected funds to a local housing trust fund where the funds can be used to finance affordable housing development.

The City will also consider providing staff support in providing needed information for funding requests to increase the likelihood of receiving state or federal funding. City staff is available to meet with nonprofit and for‐profit affordable housing providers to determine their interest in, and plans for, constructing affordable housing in Yreka, including developing infill sites or converting nonresidential buildings. Based on the clients to be served by proposed projects and the type of housing and services to be incorporated into funding requests, the City will assist the housing provider in identifying the most appropriate state and/or federal funding sources.

City ofYreka
The City will explore and consider declaring a shelter crisis pursuant to Government Code Section 8698 et seq. and whether the provisions would improve the City’s ability to assist persons experiencing homelessness.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 8698(d), a declaration of a shelter crisis “means the duly proclaimed existence of a situation in which a significant number of persons are without the ability to obtain shelter, resulting in a threat to their health and safety.” Some of the benefits of declaring a shelter crisis may include:
∙         City immunity from liability for ordinary negligence in the provision of emergency housing provisions of any state or local regulatory statute, regulation, or ordinance prescribing standards of housing, health, or safety are suspended to the extent that strict compliance would in any way prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of the shelter crisis.

A city may, in place of such standards, enact municipal health and safety standards to be operative during the housing emergency consistent with ensuring minimal public health and safety.

However, a shelter crisis declaration would new add new responsibilities to the City:
∙         Annual reporting to the State
∙         The obligation to develop a plan to address the shelter crisis, including, but not limited to, the development of homeless shelters and permanent supportive housing, as well as onsite supportive services. The plan must also address transitioning residents from homeless shelters to permanent housing. The plan must be developed and made available to the public by July 1 of the year following the shelter crisis declaration.

Another consideration is that the provisions of Government Code Section 8698 et seq. extend only to public facilities, meaning constructed and operating on City‐owned or City‐leased land which may be a limiting factor.

The City will consider amending the Yreka Municipal Code to allow for the by‐right conversion of existing motels and hotels to dwellings configured as multifamily and single room occupancy units that are available for rent, ownership, or mixed tenure.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
TO: Yreka City Council
FROM: Jason Ledbetter, City Manager
AGENDA TITLE: Ballot Measure Draft Language Development MEETING DATE: 03/19/2024
Recommended City Council Action: Discussion and direction to City staff regarding the proposed draft ballot measure language.

Discussion: The city currently has insufficient funding streams to continue to provide the level of service for municipal activities across the board. Increased demand for services such as fire and police require that additional funding be explored. Here, draft ballot measure language is being presented with the intent to receive feedback and direction on language for formal introduction at a future City Council meeting.

At the January 30, 2024 City Council meeting, the Yreka City Council passed a motion to direct the city attorney and city staff to develop ballot measure language for a sales tax measure. At the meeting, it was requested that draft language of the ballot measure be brought back for discussion prior to being brought to the City Council for action. The following draft language is being presented, with the intent to ask CFTDA to review such language , and bring back resolutions, and draft ordinance for approval to place such measure on the future ballot. At the March 5th meeting the following ballot language was presented to Council.

Proposed Language:
“To maintain and improve essential city services, including local firefighting and emergency medical response; hire and train firefighters; upgrade/replace aging firefighting safety equipment, life-saving tools and an outdated firehouse; and support police, senior and youth recreation; and other city services, shall an ordinance be adopted to impose a one percent sales tax, providing approximately

2.4 million dollars annually for general government use, until ended by voters, with independent audits and all funds staying local?”
Council gave direction to staff to review possible overlap language to a prior ballot measure called Measure H. Measure H is a special tax for the Fire Department that brings in about $300k annually and is used primarily for purchasing large equipment, specifically engines and rigs for fire and medical response. The language in the original measure H ballot initiative was very specific to the fire department and no alterations to the proposed language seem feasible based on the specificity of the measure H language.

Yreka City Council Agenda
March 19, 2024

The other requested change to the proposed language was to change the word recreation to services.

Based on the feedback from the Council and some staff members at the meeting, clarity around verbiage differences for a special vs a general sales tax were wanting to be explored. To provide the Council with options and understanding between a special and general sales tax our attorney has provided the following 3 options.

Proposed Language:
• General tax, simple majority required for passage:
“To maintain and improve essential city services, including local firefighting and emergency medical response; hire and train firefighters; upgrade/replace aging firefighting safety equipment, life-saving tools and an outdated firehouse; and support police, senior and youth services; and other city services, shall an ordinance be adopted to impose a one percent sales tax, providing approximately

2.4 million dollars annually for general government use, until ended by voters, with independent audits and all funds staying local?”

• Special tax (PD and FD), 2/3’s majority required for passage:
“To maintain and improve essential public safety services, including local police, firefighting and emergency medical response; hire and train police and fire personnel; upgrade/replace aging firefighting safety equipment, life-saving tools and an outdated firehouse; and support police services, shall an ordinance be adopted to impose a one percent sales tax, providing approximately 2.4 million dollars annually for general government use, until ended by voters, with independent audits and all funds staying local?”

• Special tax (FD only), 2/3’s majority required for passage:
“To maintain and improve local firefighting and emergency medical response; hire and train fire personnel; and upgrade/replace aging firefighting safety equipment, life-saving tools and an outdated firehouse; shall an ordinance be adopted to impose a one percent sales tax, providing approximately 2.4 million dollars annually for general government use, until ended by voters, with independent audits and all funds staying local?”

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
To: Yreka City Council
From: Jason Ledbetter, City Manager
Prepared by: Alia Roca Lezra, Planning Manager
Agenda title: Discussion/Possible Action: A motion to approve the Yreka Farmer’s Market Event Series and direct City Manager to use $3,200 from the FY 23/24 and $9,400 from the FY 24/25 City Council Community Promotions funds budget to support event operation costs.

Meeting date: March 19, 2024
Discussion: Review Debbie Scott’s proposal to host the Yreka Farmer’s Market on Downtown Miner Street every Friday from late May through late October of 2024. Provide direction to staff on the event as appropriate, including approving and committing city services to the event series.

Summary: Debbie Scott has submitted a proposal to revive the Yreka Farmer’s Market for the 2024 season. The goal of the series is to bring a successful market and lively atmosphere to downtown Yreka every Friday afternoon from late May through late October, and Debbie has demonstrated that the event aligns with the City’s Guiding Principles for the 2044 General Plan. The proposed location is downtown Miner Street due to the location’s visibility to residents and those passing through, accessibility and ample parking, and its visually pleasant atmosphere. In addition to vendors, the market will host musicians, children’s activities, educational booths, an area for resale of antique & collectible items, collaborations with other organizations, and theme days. Debbie also incorporated the results of a community survey she administered into her event proposal; Miner St. merchants overwhelmingly favor a downtown farmer’s market.

Benefit:

1. Downtown Vitality and Tourism

2. Supporting Local Agriculture and Producers

3. Promoting Health & Education

4. Incubating Small Businesses
Fiscal Impact: Debbie Scott requests assistance from the Public Works Department for street closures during each farmer’s market event. The cost of the staff time and equipment needed for the requested street closures is estimated to be $525 per event, and $12,600 total. The event series falls during two Yreka City Council Agenda

Community Survey Responses
How can the Yreka Farmers’ Market be improved?
New location, more vendors, variety
Finding a location that's closer to other businesses
Move downtown
Good vendors, good location, weekends
I envision a setup similar to the Rogue Valley Growers Market - in the park downtown with food and beverage vendors to make it appeal to more people Date/ time change
Good advertising. maybe a couple chairs or sitting area for those that have a difficult time getting around.

By bringing it to Miner st
Have it in a day people can get to it. Mid-day midweek doesn't work for those who work 8-5
Incorporate more musicians.

Yreka City Council Agenda
March 19, 2024

Maybe weekend hours and Main Street location?
Make it like Mt Shasta funbring back hometown feel
hours need to be easier for those who actually work a job Have it on Main Street where there is more people driving by to see. That way you have more chance of selling your
items.

More vendors
Having it on Wednesday during the day doesn't work for a lot of people who work
More vendors to choose from. To have it during the weekend or after 5 during the weekdays.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
YrekaCity Council
Jason Ledbetter, City Manager / Discover Siskiyou
Jason Ledbetter, City Manager
Discussion/Possible Action: A motion to approve the Discover Siskiyou City of Yreka Events Proposal 2024-2026, and direct City Manager to use $35,000 from the City Council Community Promotions funds budget for the 2024 Yreka Heritage Event and One Concert in the Park Event for fiscal year 2023/2024.

March 19, 2024
Discover Siskiyou utilizes the Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) tax applied to lodging properties in Siskiyou County and the participating incorporated Cities to market the area for tourism, and to drive more stays at lodging properties. Discover Siskiyou has presented a plan to manage the Night of Lights event, the Heritage Days event, and to manage 3 Concert in the Park events at Miner Street Park. Discover Siskiyou would be planning each of these events with the intention of having a regional interest that would encourage attendance from surrounding areas to increase lodging stays during each event.

After the Yreka Chamber of Commerce disbanded and the disruption to events during Covid ceased, the City of Yreka reached out to Discover Siskiyou to facilitate the Night of Lights and Gold Rush Day events. It is the staff’s understanding that when the Yreka Chamber of Commerce was active the Chamber managed the Night of Lights, the Holiday Parade, and the Gold Rush Day events as part of the contract with the City of Yreka.

Discover Siskiyou has now managed the Night of Lights event in Yreka twice, 2022 and 2023, as well as the 2023 Gold Rush Day event. City staff has had many inquiries into whether the Concert in the Park series will come back to Miner St Park. Discover Siskiyou is proposing to facilitate the return of the Concert in the Park events as well as to continue managing the Night of Lights and expanding Gold Rush Days into Heritage Days. A Resolution will need to be approved for the Night of Lights and Heritage Events if the Council chooses to move forward with this proposal. A Resolution would be brought back each year for each of these 2 events to determine street closures etc.

Fiscal Impact:
$35,000 from the City Council Community Promotions funds budget in total for Fiscal Year 2023/2024. Decisions for FY 24/25 and 25/26 would be determined during budget approval Yreka City Council Agenda
March 19, 2024

and would cost $72,200 and $74,350 respectively.

Recommendation and Requested Action:

That the Council Make a motion to approve the Discover Siskiyou City of Yreka Events Proposal 2024-2026, and direct City Manager to use $35,000 from the City Council Community Promotions fund budget for the 2024 Yreka Heritage Event and One Concert in the Park Event for fiscal year 2023/2024.
