6) Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions; 7) Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years; and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
TO: Yreka City Council
FROM: Jason Ledbetter, City Manager
AGENDA TITLE: Discussion Regarding Resignation of City Treasurer for the City of Yreka and Next Steps
MEETING DATE: June 18, 2024
Background:

At the General Election on November 3, 2020, Rhetta Hogan was elected as City Treasurer to a four year term expiring in December 2024 upon the election of a successor.

Ms. Hogan has since retired from City service and has resigned from her position as City Treasurer, effective June 21, 2024. There is an immediate need for someone to perform the duties of the City Treasurer.

The duties of City Treasurer are identified under the California Government Code as being responsible for the receipt and safekeeping of city moneys, and file a monthly written report of all receipts, disbursements and fund balances with the City Council. (Cal. Gov. Code sec. 41001 et seq.) Though state law allows for the appointment of “deputy city treasurers" (Cal. Gov. Code sec. 41006), none have been appointed in the City of Yreka. The established salary associated with the position is $5,100 annually, payable in the same manner as other elected officials.

Discussion:

When a vacancy of an elective office occurs, the City Council shall within 60 days of the vacancy either fill the vacancy by appointment, or call for a special election to fill the vacancy. (Cal. Gov. Code sec. 36512(b).) If the vacancy occurs within the second half of the term, the person appointed to fill the vacancy shall hold the office through the remainder of the unexpired term. (Cal. Gov. Code sec. 36512(b)(2)(B)).) If the City Council calls for an election, it must be held “on the next regularly established election date not less than 114 days after the call.” (Cal. Gov. Code sec. 36512(b)(2)(B)).) The next regularly established election is November 5, 2024. Accordingly, calling for an election to the remainder of this term is ineffective for the immediate need for a City Treasurer. As with all persons holding an elective office, such term would end upon the swearing in of an elected and qualified successor. The term will end the first meeting in December 2024 after the canvass of the November 2024 election.

As there is an immediate need for a City Treasurer ahead of the election on November 5, 2024, it is recommended that the City Council make an immediate appointment to office of City Treasurer to serve the remainder of the current term.

Yreka City Council Agenda
June 18, 2024

Page 48 of 106 ends

I recommend that Emily Aldrich fill this position in the interim period until the next swearing in of a candidate elected on November 5, 2024. Her qualifications are known to the City Council.

Recommendation and Requested Action:

That the City Council appoint Emily Aldrich to fill the current term of the position of City Treasurer.

CITY OF YREKA

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Prepared by: Juliana Lucchesi, AICP, Community Development Director Agenda Title: Adoption of Resolution 2024-31 of the City Council of the City of Yreka Adopting CEQA Addendum #1 for the Negative Declaration of the Fall Creek Water Permit Extension (State Clearinghouse Number 2012032053)
Meeting date: June 18, 2024
Recommended Action:

Motion to adopt City Council Resolution 2024-31 “City Council of the City of Yreka Adopting CEQA Addendum #1 for the Negative Declaration of the Fall Creek Water Permit Extension (State Clearinghouse Number 2012032053)”
Summary:

In order to complete the permit extension process for the City’s Water Rights associated with Fall Creek, an environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is required. Previous legal counsel indicated that a Notice of Exemption (NOE) was appropriate for process, but state direction has concluded that a NOE is not sufficient. Therefore, an Addendum to the adopted Negative Declaration was prepared to analyze if there are any changes to the project description that would warrant any additional environmental review.

Background:

The City of Yreka (City) provides domestic water for utility rate payers within the City of Yreka Water Services Area (WSA). In an effort to continue to provide reliable and high-quality water, the City is requesting that the time for it to put the full amount of its authorized diversion (i.e., 6,300 afy) to beneficial use be extended until the year 2032.

Environmental Review:

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and regulations implementing CEQA, known as the CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.), serve as the main framework of environmental law and policy in California. CEQA applies to most public agency discretionary actions that have the potential to adversely affect the environment. CEQA requires public agencies to inform decision makers and the public about the potential environmental impacts of proposed projects and to avoid or reduce those environmental impacts to the extent feasible. A public agency shall prepare a proposed negative declaration or a mitigated negative declaration for a project when: 1) the initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment; or 2) The initial study identifies potentially significant effects, but revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by the applicant before a proposed mitigated negative Yreka City Council Agenda
June 18, 2024

Page 50 of 106 ends

declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur, and when there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment (Section 15070).

Pursuant to Section 15164(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, the lead agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified Negative Declaration (ND) if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent ND have occurred.

Under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent ND shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
• Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous ND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; • Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous ND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
• New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous ND was certified as complete, shows any of the following: o The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous ND;
o Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous ND;
o Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or o Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different form those analyzed in the previous ND would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The City of Yreka determined that an Addendum to the certified ND is appropriate for the subsequent extension of the Fall Creak Water Permit. Overall, there are no proposed changes to type, location, and nature of the project. Therefore, the project is consistent with the overall certified ND. The changes in the project timeframe do not warrant a subsequent CEQA document per CEQA Guidelines Section 15612 as explained in this Addendum. The environmental analysis in this Addendum examines whether the extension of the Fall Creek Water Permit would result in any new significant impacts that were not previously identified in the prior ND or would result in any substantial increases in the severity of previously identified effects. The information contained in this Addendum is provided to be consistent with Section 15614 of the CEQA Guidelines and would allow the City to make an administrative determination that the prior ND and environmental determinations fully address the Fall Creek Water Permit Extension.

extended to the year 2032.

9. Surrounding land uses and setting: The Fall Creek diversion/intake facility is in a remote area of Siskiyou County, approximately
23 miles northeast of the City of Yreka. The site is
located next to Fall Creek and an outflow canal
from a small powerhouse; both of which can be
used to supply water to the intake. In addition
to the powerhouse facility is a state-owned fish
hatchery facility and a day use recreation site.

The Klamath River is one mile southwest and
downstream from the site. The project location
in terms of the place of use for the diverted
water is all of the incorporated boundaries of
the City of Yreka and outlying areas.

1.1 INTRODUCTION AND REGULATORY GUIDANCE
This document is Addendum #1 to the Initial Study and Negative Declaration (SCH # 2012032053) prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and the State CEQA Guidelines, 14 California Code Regulations Section 15000 et seq. The Initial Study, certified in 2012, concluded that a negative declaration was the appropriate CEQA document for the Fall Creek Water Permit Project (project).

prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
• Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous ND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; • Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous ND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
• New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous ND was certified as complete, shows any of the following:
o The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous ND;
o Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous ND;
o Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
o Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different form those analyzed in the previous ND would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The City of Yreka determine that an Addendum to the certified ND is appropriate for the subsequent extension of the Fall Creak Water Permit. Overall, there are no proposed changes to type, location, and nature of the project. Therefore, the project is consistent with the overall certified ND. The changes in the project timeframe do not warrant a subsequent CEQA document per CEQA Guidelines Section 15612 as explained in this Addendum. The environmental analysis in this Addendum examines whether the extension of the Fall Creek Water Permit would result in any new significant impacts that were not previously identified in the prior ND or would result in any substantial increases in the severity of previously identified effects. The information contained in this Addendum is provided to be consistent with Section 15614 of the CEQA Guidelines and would allow the City to make an administrative determination that the prior ND and environmental determinations fully address the Fall Creek Water Permit Extension.

1.2 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
This Addendum has incorporated by reference the Fall Creek Water Permit Extension ND (State Clearinghouse Number 2012032053), certified by the City of Yreka in September 2012, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15150. Information from this document incorporated by reference into this Addendum has been summarized in the appropriate sections which follow, and the relationship between the incorporated part of the referenced document and this Addendum have been described.

2.1 PREVIOUSLY EVALUATED PROJECT
The place of diversion on Fall Creek which the City of Yreka obtains water for its municipal water system is located approximately 23 miles northeast of the City. Fall Creek is a tributary to the Klamath River, flowing into the river at a point below where the river enters Iron Gate Reservoir. The intake to the City’s water system is located approximately one mile north and upstream of the point where Fall Creek enters the reservoir/river. The location is north of, and is accessed by, Copco Road. The location may generally be described as the NW ¼ of Section 30, T48N, R4W, Mt. Diablo Meridian.

The City of Yreka is applying to the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) to extend the time to put the water diversion authorized under the City’s water permit (permit number 15379) issued on May 17, 1967, to maximum beneficial use. Permit 15379 stipulates that the water diverted from Fall Creek by the City shall not exceed 15.0 cubic feet per second (cfs) with the maximum amount not to exceed 6,300 acrefeet per year (afy), and that complete application of the water to the authorized uses was to be completed by December 31, 2005. The City had requested an amendment of the permitted “place of use” of water obtained under the Fall Creek water permit. A Notice of Exemption pursuant to CEQA was filed in November 3, 2006. On August 5, 2010, the Division of Water Rights issued an order approving changes in the place of use and issued an amendment to Water Permit 15379 to clarify the amended place of use. Therefore, issues concerning the place of use pursuant to the water permit are not part of the current project description.

The City requested an extension to the permit to maximize beneficial use in December 2012, which was granted by, the Division of Water Rights.

2.2 MODIFIED PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed project is an additional extension of the water permit for it to put the full amount of its authorized diversion (i.e., 6,300 afy) to beneficial use be extended until the year 2032.

With recognition that the City’s meter records for the year 2021, as well as its 2021 Progress Report to the State Water Resources Control Board, indicate that it diverted up to 12.31 cfs for a total of 2,414 acre-feet from Fall Creek in 2021. It may be said in one context that consideration of potential environmental impacts, especially those related to in-stream resources on Fall Creek, concern the impacts of diverting an additional 3,886 afy (i.e., in addition to the baseline amount) in order to be able to utilize the full amount of 6,300 afy by the year 2032.

Concerning potential impacts to in-stream resources, it is important to note that the City’s Fall Creek water permit is subject to a condition that requires the City to bypass a minimum flow of 15 cfs or the natural flow of the stream whenever it is less than 15 cfs. This permit condition is discussed in greater detail in Section

4.4 below relating to potential impacts on biological resources. The City is not seeking a change in that condition.

The City’s existing Fall Creek diversion and intake facility was designed and constructed to handle the full allocation of 15 cfs up to a maximum of 6,300 afy per the 1967 water permit. The City does not need nor propose any physical expansion or modification of the existing diversion facility. Therefore, the proposed project has no construction components or any features that would cause new disturbance of the site or the Fall Creek stream course. The only issue considered in this Initial Study are the impacts that may result from extending the time for the City to put to full amount of its authorized diversion to beneficial use under its 1967 permit. (The City would currently be permitted to divert the full amount of 6,300 afy had Yreka City Council Agenda
June 18, 2024

Page 59 of 106 ends

development and growth demand in the City required diversion of that amount by 2022).

3.1 CEQA Consistency Checklist and Analysis
In order to evaluate the modified proposed project for consistency with the certified ND and establish a factual basis for determining whether any changes in the project, circumstances, or any new information requires additional environmental review or preparation of a Subsequent MND or EIR, the comparative analysis is separated into five categories:

Prior CEQA Analysis – This column includes information related to the section of the IS/ND where the conclusion may be found relative to the environmental issue.

Does the Modified Project Involve New Impacts? – Pursuant to CEAD Guidelines Section 15162(a)(1), this column indicates whether the changes represented by the revised project may result in a new significant environmental impact not previously identified in the IS/ND, or whether the changes will result in a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified significant impact.

Are There New Circumstances Involving New Impacts? – Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(2), this column indicates where there have been substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that will require major revisions to the IS/ND, due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

Is There New Information Requiring Analysis or Verification? – Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3)(a-d), this column indicates whether new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time of the previous ND was certified as complete.

The certified environmental review of the Fall Creek Water Permit Extension determined that mitigation measures were not needed due to all impacts being less than significant. Therefore, no additional analysis is needed regarding mitigation measures pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3).

Discussion of Checklist Answers:

The previously adopted IS/ND determined that the Project would have no significant impacts to agriculture and forest resources. The project is the extension of time in which to put the City’s permitted water diversion to full beneficial use for municipal and industrial purposes within the authorized place of use. The place of use, which is generally coterminous with the City’s Yreka City Council Agenda
June 18, 2024

Page 64 of 106 ends

incorporated lands, does include Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide importance as identified in the 2000 Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program GIS data (www.consv.ca.gov). Impacts on agricultural resources from development pursuant to the General Plan was considered in the General Plan Update EIR. Additionally, there are no sites on lands with a Williamson Act contract. Therefore, there is no impact to agricultural resources as a result of the proposed extension of time relative to the use of water.

Conclusions Relating to Agriculture and Forest Resources:

The project will have no impact to agricultural or forest resources and remain unchanged from the originally adopted IS/ND.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:

The previously adopted IS/ND determined that the Project would have no impact on biological resources. The “proposed project” (i.e., the extension of time to put the authorized amount of water to be diverted to full beneficial use) will not alter the intake structure or the operational means by which the existing intake facilities are screened. Because the project does not propose any new facilities or affect any special-status species or sensitive habitats, and the incorporated protective equipment of the existing facilities is in place and adequately operational to prevent any take of special-status species, the proposed project would have no impact upon the noted biological resources.

Potential impacts concerning biological resources related to planned land use within the City of Yreka, which may indirectly result from future use of water resources from Fall Creek, was addressed in the 2003 City of Yreka General Plan Update EIR.

Conclusions Related to Biological Resources:

The previous Project IS/ND determined that there we either “ess than significant” or “No Impact” findings for biological resources. The impacts identified in the IS/ND are of similar levels of impact identified in this Addendum. None of the changes identified to the project increase the impacts to a significant level.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:

The proposed project consists of an extension of time (i.e., from 2012 to the year 2032) under the City’s water permit to put to full beneficial use the previously-approved amount of 6,300 acre feet per year. The previously adopted IS/ND determined that the Project would not have an impact on any geology and sail resources. There are no changes to the Project description that would cause an increase in impacts beyond what was analyzed. Therefore, the Project impact remains as “No Impact”.

Conclusions Related to Energy:

The project will have no impact related to geology and soils and the conclusions from the IS/ND remain unchanged.

8. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Adopted IS/ND
Conclusion
Do Proposed
Changes Involve
New Impacts?
New
Circumstances
Involving New
Impacts?
New Information
Requiring
Analysis or
Verification?
a) Generate
greenhouse gas
emissions, either
directly or
indirectly, that
may have a
significant impact
on the
environment?
No Impact No. The project
would not
generate a
significant
amount of
greenhouse gas
emissions.

No. The project
would not
generate a
significant
amount of
greenhouse gas
emissions.

No. The project
would not

adopted for the
purpose of
reducing the
emissions of
greenhouse
gases?
No Impact No. The project
would not
conflict with an
applicable GHG
reduction plan.

No. The project
would not
conflict with an
applicable GHG
reduction plan.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:

The Governor of California signed Executive Order S-3-05 (EO) in June 2005 which established statewide reduction targets for greenhouse gases. The EO states that emissions shall be reduced to year 2000 levels by 2010, to 1990 levels by 2020, and by 2050 reduced to 80 percent of the 1990 levels. Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act, 2006 (AB 32), was signed into law in September 2006. AB 32 finds that global warming poses a serious threat to the economic wellbeing, public health, natural resources, and the California environment. It establishes a state goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020, which would be a 25 percent reduction from forecasted emission levels.

Yreka City Council Agenda

Greenhouse gases (GHGs), as defined by Health and Safe Code, include but are not limited to water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20), ozone (03), and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) (Health and Safety Code §38500 et seq.). These gases all act as effective global insulators, reflecting back to earth visible light and infrared radiation.

The project will not cause any construction activity or operational activity that will generate GHG emissions. The project will not conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. The extension of the water permit timeframe to 2032 would not result in any change in the project description.

Conclusions Relating to Greenhouse Gas Emissions:

Since the project will not generate air emission from construction or operation, there is no impact related to greenhouse gas emissions and the conclusion from the IS/ND remain unchanged.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:

This resource was not specifically discussed in the original IS/ND as it was added to CEQA requirements after the project was adopted. Wildfire was added to the CEQA checklist in 2022.

Therefore, it is being included in the environmental evaluation within this Addendum. Although the unincorporated area of Siskiyou County is in a very high fire severity zone, the facilities are existing and have current processes in place to deal with wildfire evacuation. The physical location of the facilities does not have any topographical properties that will exacerbate a wildfire.

Conclusions Related to Wildfires
The proposed project will have no impacts concerning wildfires.

3.3 Overall Conclusion of Impacts on the Proposed Project The original Project resulted in all impact areas measured at ‘No Impact’ or ‘Less than Significant’.

Changes and proposed updates to the Project would not be considered substantial. The extension of the water permit would not cause any new significant impacts or substantial increases in the severity of a previously identified significant impacts (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15162(a)(1)) that would require major revisions to the ND.

There is sufficient evidence in support of the City of Yreka’s determination that the change in permit timeframe for the Fall creak Water Permit does not meet the conditions for preparing an EIR or subsequent MND under CEQA Guidelines, Section 15162, and Section 15164.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
TO: Yreka City Council
FROM: Jason Ledbetter, City Manager
AGENDA TITLE: Resolution to Adopt California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting (CUPCCA) Procedures;
Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance to
Provide Informal Bidding Procedures Pursuant to
CUPCCA; and Finding Such Action Exempt from CEQA
MEETING DATE: 06/18/2024
Recommended Action:

Motion to

1. Adopt Resolution 2024-32 Electing To Adopt The Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCA) Procedures;

2. Introduce for First Reading an Ordinance Adding Chapter 3.60 to the Yreka Municipal Code addressing Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Procedures; and

3. Finding such action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Discussion: Staff recommends that adoption of Unform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act will be of benefit to the City. This will allow the City to perform more work with in-house personnel (force account work) by raising the limit for self-performed public works and maintenance work. It also expedites the informal bidding procedures, as more projects are completed in a timely manner because of the streamlined awards process and the reduction in paperwork related to advertising and report filing.

The California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (“the Act” or “CUPCCAA”) provides for alternative bidding procedures when an agency performs public work and maintenance work by contract. The Act is a voluntary program available to all public entities in the State, but it applies only to those public agencies that have “opted in” to the provisions set forth by the Act using the processes outlined in the Act.

The entirety of the Act is found at Public Contract Code Sections 22000-22045.

Key provisions of the Act allows for public projects of $60,000 or less to be performed by a public agency’s force account using the public agency’s own resources, by negotiated contract, or by purchase order.

Public projects in the amount of $200,000 or less may use an informal bidding process if the City adopts an ordinance in compliance with the Act to govern contractor selection Yreka City Council Agenda
June 18, 2024

Page 91 of 106 ends

through informal bidding. Public projects at a cost of more than $200,000 must use formal bidding procedures to select a contractor.

Public projects includes
• Construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration, renovation, improvement, demolition, and repair work involving any publicly owned, leased, or operated facility.
• Painting or repainting of any publicly owned, leased, or operated facility, and • For publicly owned utility systems, the construction, erection, improvement, or repair of dams, reservoirs, powerplants, and electrical transmission lines (over 230,000 volts ).
(Pub. Contr. Code sec. 22002(c).)
Maintenance work includes routine, recurring, and usual work for the preservation or protection of any publicly owned or publicly operated facility for its intended purposes; minor repainting; resurfacing of streets and highways at less than one inch; landscape maintenance, including mowing, watering, trimming, pruning, planting, replacement of plants, and servicing of irrigation and sprinkler systems; and work performed to keep, operate, and maintain publicly owned water, power, or waste disposal systems. (Pub.

Contr. Code sec. 22002(d).)
Program benefits are: increased force account limit for public agencies; simplified bidding for projects that are $200,000 or less; reduced number of formal bids based on project size; and expedited contracting for projects under $200,000. The City will benefit from this program as it gives more leeway in the execution of public works projects under a certain dollar amount; may speed up the award process; expedite project delivery; reduce the time, effort, and expense associated with bidding projects under $200,000; and simplify administration for those projects. These processes may also be applied to maintenance work.

Business Analysis: The Finance Committee met on April 9, 2024, to review the CUPCCAA policies and procedures manual. It should be noted that when a local agency elects to become subject to the CUPCCAA the entire entity is subject to the Act and no departments are exempt. Filing of the resolution to the California State Controller is the responsibility of the Finance Director, and adherence to cost accounting principles as directed in the manual.

Operations Analysis: The City’s Public Work shall notice and maintain at least annually a list of qualified contractors and additionally notice to invite/solicit bids on projects as identified. Informally bid projects shall include project title, cost, site location, who is taking bids/date and time due, along with owner address and phone number, architect or engineers address and phone number, a brief description of work to be done, where plans Yreka City Council Agenda
June 18, 2024

Page 92 of 106 ends

may be obtained/deposit required as well as the percentage of bid bond/percentage of performance bond/or percentage of payment bond.

Environmental Analysis: The adoption of this resolution and ordinance does not meet the definition of a project for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act, under Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), because it is an administrative governmental activity which will not cause a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. The City Council’s review and adoption of informal bid procedures is not a project under CEQA Guidelines mechanisms which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant environmental impact. Thus, no environmental analysis is required at this time.

Fiscal Impact: Streamlined processes are expected to result in more timely completion of public projects and lessen the administrative overhead burden on procurement of contracts involving a public work. There are no fees associated with opting into the program.

(g)Performance bonds. The city manager may require a performance bond before entering a contract awarded pursuant to this section in such amount as the public services director or their designee finds reasonably necessary to protect the best interests of the city. If the city requires a performance bond, the form and amount of the bond shall be described in the notice inviting bids.

Section 2. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this Ordinance, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Section 3. The City Council hereby authorizes and directs the city manager to take any action and sign any documents necessary to implement this Ordinance.

Section 4. The Council finds that this Ordinance does not meet the definition of a project for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act, under Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), because it is an administrative governmental activity which will not cause a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. The City Council’s review and adoption of informal bid procedures is not a project under CEQA Guidelines mechanisms which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant environmental impact. Thus, no environmental analysis is required at this time.

Section 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Ordinance and cause the same to be posted pursuant to Government Code Section 36933.

Introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council held on June 18, 2024, passed, approved by at least a majority and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Yreka held on July 2, 2024, by the following vote:
