CITY OF YREKA

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
To: Yreka City Council
From: Jason Ledbetter, City Manager
Prepared by: John Elsnab, Human Resources Director
Agenda title: Discussion/Possible Action – Resolution by the City Council of the City of Yreka Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Keenen & Associates as the Broker of Record for City Insurance Plans Meeting date: April 1, 2025
Summary:

The City is currently managing its employee benefit insurance plans without a designated broker of record. By having a designated broker of record, the broker can assist with monitoring market trends, negotiating benefits with insurers, and ensuring that the City is receiving optimal coverage at competitive rates. Keenen & Associates (“Keenan”) is a qualified and licensed firm that can manage the City's insurance needs as the broker of record, and advocate on behalf of the city for sourcing competitive plans.

As the Broker of Record, Keenen will have the exclusive authority to negotiate with insurance carriers to reduce costs and enhance benefits for City employees. The three main employer benefit plans that Keenan will be assigned to review include the City’s dental, vision, and life insurance plans. City staff will then perform a cost-benefit analysis to determine which plan is best for the City while providing an enhanced benefit to its employees.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with using Keenen & Associates as a Broker of Record.

Recommendation and Requested Action:

Authorize the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Keenen & Associates as the Broker of Record for City Insurance Plans.

Discussion/Possible Direction on Proposed Ringe Pool Design:

Discussion and Direction on the proposed design for replacing Ringe Pool. A motion to approve the Ringe pool design as presented, or with Council modifications.

April 1, 2025
In 2017 the infrastructure at Ringe Pool failed and the pool was no longer accessible to the public. A facility condition report was drafted in 2018 by a 3rd party that stated the cost to replace was nearly identical as the cost to fix Ringe pool. The community and City Council engaged public input with multiple community workshops to develop a grant application to replace Ringe pool. A 2019 grant to the State of California Parks Department was applied for by the City of Yreka but was not chosen for funding by the State.

An alternative grant proposal from the community for a different location on Foothill Blvd was submitted. This project did receive $8.5 million in grant funding in December of 2021 from the California Parks Department but was sent back to the State after discussion at City Council concerning the cost of the project and the concern of not having engineered plans and a cost estimate in order to move forward, a critical first step in all publicly funded projects.

At the January 3rd, 2023, Yreka City Council meeting the Yreka City Council voted to move forward on funding a 95% completion study for preliminary design and engineering of the Ringe pool complex, not to exceed $750,000. After the competitive bid process of a Request for Proposal (RFP) Nichols, Melburg & Rossetto entered into contract with the City of Yreka. The community input from the 2019 grant process was used to guide staff and NMR on the design we will see this evening.

This evening staff is requesting the Yreka City Council review the proposed design for replacing Ringe pool. Take public input from the citizens of Yreka on any alterations that the council deems imperative to be made. Review the cost of those alterations with NMR this evening or if the alterations require, have them brought back at a future meeting for possible approval. If the Council and public are satisfied, staff is requesting approval of the proposed Yreka City Council Agenda
04-01-2025

Page 93 of 156 ends

design in order for NMR to continue forward with a 95% engineered design. At which point staff will begin to seek funding options with the State and will reach out to our local representatives in order to convey our interest in resolving our current pool closure and our need to provide swimming lessons to our public, exercise options for our public, as well as a community engagement location for our public to enjoy.

It is important to note that no current funding stream is available to the City of Yreka for the Ringe pool replacement project. A grant will need to be received in order to bring this project to construction. The priority for the City remains the construction of a new Fire Hall and bringing paid fire staff to our Yreka Volunteer Fire Department. The Ringe pool project is continuing forward and will require engaging our local representatives at the state level and tasking them with guiding staff toward the appropriate funding requests via grant applications to bring this project to the construction phase.

At the March 4th Yreka City Council meeting Councilmember Drake Davis requested a review to separate the 1 pool design into 2 distinctly different pools. Staff has reviewed this request and crafted a pros and cons list for Council to consider to make a final decision this evening. The pros for separating the 2 pools would be that you could have 2 distinctly different temperatures in either body of water. You can keep one pool open if maintenance or cleaning was required in the other pool. 2 separate pools would also be easy to keep different pool users separate like adults and kids.The cons to separating these pools would be the requirement to double the mechanical equipment and maintenance of equipment. The mechanical room would require a 50% increase with added construction and maintenance costs.

Tonight we will review the design and the single request at separating the pool into 2 pools.

We ask for council and public comment and if we have consensus we ask for Council to consider a motion to finalize the design or instruct staff of proposed changes to be reviewed at a future meeting.

Fiscal Impact:

N/A
Recommendation and Requested Action:

Discussion and Direction on the proposed design for replacement of Ringe Pool. If necessary, alterations can be made to the design and brought back at a future City Council meeting to review the proposed changes to the design and cost of the project.

A motion to approve the Ringe pool design as presented, or with Council modifications.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
TO: Yreka City Council
FROM:

PREPARED BY:

Jerry Lemos, Fire Chief
Andrew L. Jared, City Attorney
AGENDA TITLE: Introduction and First Reading of an Ordinance to Designate Fire Hazard Severity Zones, and Amend
Sections of the Yreka Municipal Code Regarding Fire
Hazard Severity Zones.

MEETING DATE: 03/04/2025
Recommended Action:
1) Consider Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map as recommended by the State Fire Marshal, amended to include parcel data (Attachment 1.B)
2) Introduce and waive the full reading of an Ordinance Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones as recommended by the State Fire Marshal and amend Chapter 11.10 of the Yreka Municipal Code (Attachment 1.A)
3) Read following ordinance by title only:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YREKA,

CALIFORNIA ADOPTING THE FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE MAP AND AMENDING TITLE 11, CHAPTER 11.10 AS “FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES”
Background
Fire Hazard Severity Zone Designation
In September 2021, Senate Bill 63 was approved by the California Legislature to amend California Government Code Section 51178 to direct the State Fire Marshal to identify fire hazard severity zones (FHSZ) in the state as moderate, high, and very high FHSZ’s. This law became effective on January 1, 2022. It requires the State Fire Marshal to create FHSZ’s based on the severity of the fire hazard that is expected to prevail in each local area considering consistent statewide criteria.

The designation of moderate, high, and very high FHSZs are based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors that have been identified by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Additional background information from Cal Fire is provided as Attachment 2.A. Information from the California Department of Insurance regarding Q&A’s about Insurance and Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps is provided as Attachment 2.B.

In September 2022, Assembly Bill 211 amended California Government Code Section 51179 by requiring local agencies to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high FHSZs within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.

An agency may not adopt a FHSZ that decreases the level of fire hazard severity zone as identified by the State Fire Marshal for any area within the jurisdiction of the local agency, and may only increase the level of fire hazard severity zone as identified by the State Fire Marshal for any area within the jurisdiction of the local agency. (Gov. Code sec. 51179(b)(3)).

Since 1995, the City Council of the City of Yreka has had a procedure for adopting fire hazard severity zones based on the recommendations in the map sent by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection which where then considered by the Fire Chief. (See YMC Ch. 11.10, adopted by Ord. 708, 1995). These provisions are now inconsistent with state law which requires the city council subsequently consider an ordinance adopting state fire marshal designations within 120 days. Accordingly, an amendment to Chapter 11.10 is warranted at this time.

In February 2025, the Office of the State Fire Marshal released the FHSZs in Local Responsibility Area map for review. The map is attached to this staff report and identifies moderate, high, and very high FHSZs within the City of Yreka. The map was posted on the City website and mentioned by the Fire Chief at prior City Council meetings.

Though State law does not allow a local agency to decrease the FHSZ designation, a local agency may increase the designation of a particular area if a local agency can make findings that it is necessary for the effective fire protection within the area. (Gov. Code sec. 51179(b)(1) and (2)).

Such discretion can allow an agency to apply very high, high, and moderate designations to areas not otherwise identified in the map prepared by the State Fire Marshal.

Staff has reviewed the proposed map and is not recommending any changes to include any parcels not otherwise designated as moderate, high and very high FHSZ’s as proposed by the State Fire Marshal. Accordingly, no change to the severity zones in the State Fire Marshal’s proposed map is being recommended. The State Fire Marshal map however did not show designations at the parcel level, making residents and staff alike guessing whether their parcel is within the boundaries for each FHSZ.

Accordingly, staff is presenting for adoption a map that shows the moderate, high, and very high FHSZ’s proposed by the State Fire Marshal overlaid on a map showing parcel map data for the City. Staff has modified the map only to show the FHSZ’s to the closest parcel lines. (Attachment

1.A).

In order to adequately provide for the effective fire protection in the area and administration of this ordinance and map, staff is presenting for consideration in the ordinance an interpretative note that when any parcel has more than one FHSZ designation on that parcel as depicted on the adopted Yreka City Council Agenda
04-01-2025

Page 112 of 156 ends

map, the highest FHSZ designation shall be applied to the entire parcel. For example, a parcel containing both a high and very high hazard designation will be administered as very high FHSZ.

This interpretation will prevent different building and property maintenance codes applying for different areas of a parcel. It will also prevent confusion among staff in which standard to apply.

All modifications are made in accordance with the California Government Code, ensuring that FHSZs were not downgraded.

In support of such provision and designations of the very high FHSZ, the following analysis is required pursuant to Government Code Section 51182. Staff has determined that pursuant to section 51182 the following do make it necessary for effective fire prevention of the area that this provision be adopted for following reasons:

1. To maintain defensible space of 100 feet from each side of an occupied dwelling or occupied structure.

2. To remove portions of a tree that extends within 10 feet of the outlet of a chimney or stovepipe.

3. To prevent maintaining a tree, shrub, or other plant adjacent to or overhanging a building free of dead or dying wood.

4. To maintain the roof of the structure free of leaves, needles, and other vegetative materials.

5. Certifying that a new occupied structure or rebuilding an existing occupied structure complies with all applicable state and local building codes.

Municipal Code Amendments
Staff reviewed Chapter 11.10 of Title 11 Buildings and Construction of the Yreka Municipal Code and determined that such provisions are inconsistent with current state law. The Government Code does not allow local jurisdictions to decrease the designation of FHSZs recommended by the Office of the State Fire Marshal and does not allow the Fire Chief to make determinations.

CEQA:

The City staff have evaluated the proposed Ordinance and determined that it is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3), 15303, and 15308 on the grounds that it can be seen with certainty that the Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment. To the extent this is a project under CEQA, it is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land), 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations), 15307 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources), and 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment).

Fiscal Impact:

It is not anticipated that adoption of the proposed map or ordinance designating FHSZ’s within the City of Yreka will have more than minimal fiscal impact on the City of Yreka.

Alternatives:

The City Council may choose not to proceed with the recommended actions or direct staff to pursue an alternative approach. Failure to adopt these ordinances would conflict with California Government Code requirements and will require additional city resources to develop and adopt an alternative enhanced FHSZ map.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What do Fire Hazard Severity Zones measure?
The Fire Hazard Severity Zone map reflects “hazard,” not “risk”. The map is like flood zone maps, where lands are described in terms of the probability level of a par琀椀cular area being inundated by floodwaters, and not specifically prescrip琀椀ve of impacts. “Hazard” is based on the physical condi琀椀ons that create a likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50-year period without considering mi琀椀ga琀椀on measures such as home hardening, recent wildfire, or fuel reduc琀椀on efforts.
“Risk” is the poten琀椀al damage a fire can do to the area under exis琀椀ng condi琀椀ons, accoun琀椀ng for any modifica琀椀ons such as fuel reduc琀椀on projects, defensible space, and igni琀椀on resistant building construc琀椀on.

What is a Fire Hazard Severity Zone or FHSZ?
Public Resource Code 4202; The State Fire Marshal shall classify lands within State Responsibility Areas into Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Each zone shall embrace rela琀椀vely homogeneous lands and shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors present, including areas where winds have been iden琀椀fied by the department as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Government Code 51178; The State Fire Marshal shall iden琀椀fy areas in the state as Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors including areas where winds have been iden琀椀fied by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Will the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones affect my ability to get or maintain insurance? Insurance companies use risk models, which differ from hazard models, because they consider the suscep琀椀bility of a structure to damage from fire and other short-term factors that are not included in hazard modeling. It is unlikely that insurance risk models would u琀椀lize CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones as a factor, but much of the same data that is used in the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model are likely included in the insurance companies’ risk models. However, insurance risk models incorporate many addi琀椀onal factors and that change more frequently than those that CAL FIRE includes in its hazard mapping, which is built to remain steady for the next 10+ years.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
When were the maps last updated?
In 2007, CAL FIRE updated the FHSZs for the en琀椀re State Responsibility Area (SRA). Between 2008- 2011 the department worked with local governments to make recommenda琀椀ons of the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones within Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

Why are fire hazard severity maps being updated?
The hazard maps are being updated to more accurately reflect the zones in California that are suscep琀椀ble to wildfire. The hazard mapping process will incorporate new science in local climate data and improved fire assessment modeling in determining hazard ra琀椀ngs.

Where do Fire Hazard Severity Zones apply?
Fire Hazard Severity Zones are found in areas where the state has financial responsibility for wildfire protec琀椀on and preven琀椀on, called the State Responsibility Area. More than 31 million acres are in this area. Under Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021) Government Code 51178 was amended to also iden琀椀fy the Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zones with the Very High in Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

What are the uses of Fire Hazard Severity Zones?
The zones are used for several purposes including to designate areas where California’s defensible space standards and wildland urban interface building codes are required. They can be a factor in real estate disclosure, and local governments may consider them in their general plan.

What are the key elements of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model? The fire hazard severity model for wildland fire has two key elements: probability of an area burning and expected fire behavior under extreme fuel and weather condi琀椀ons. The zones reflect areas that have similar burn probabili琀椀es and fire behavior characteris琀椀cs. The factors considered in determining fire hazard within wildland areas are fire history, flame length, terrain, local weather, and poten琀椀al fuel over a 50-year period. Outside of wildlands, the model considers factors that might lead to buildings being threatened, including terrain, weather, urban vegeta琀椀on cover, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, fire history, and fire hazard in nearby wildlands.

FHSZs are not a structure loss model, as key informa琀椀on regarding structure igni琀椀on (such as roof type, etc.) is not included.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps differ from California Public U琀椀li琀椀es Commission (CPUC) High Fire Threat District Maps?
The California Public U琀椀li琀椀es Commission (CPUC) sponsored map, known as "CPUC High Fire Threat District Map” (HFTD), includes similar factors as those in the FHSZ maps, however the CPUC HFTD Map is designed specifically for iden琀椀fying areas where there is an increased risk for u琀椀lity associated wildfires. As such, the CPUC map includes fire hazards associated with historical powerline-caused wildfires, current fuel condi琀椀ons, and scores areas based on where fires start, as opposed to where poten琀椀al fires may cause impacts.

Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? In wildland areas, zone edges are a result of the way zones are delineated. Specifically, zones represent areas of similar slope and fuel poten琀椀al. Zone boundaries divide zones based on geographic and vegeta琀椀on features that align with fire hazard poten琀椀al; although, at a local scale, it may appear that the immediate area is similar on both sides of the edge. The class value within a zone is based on the average hazard score across the whole zone, so areas that are in the same zone but not immediately adjacent to a local area can have an influence on the final zone classifica琀椀on. Classifica琀椀on outside of wildland areas is based on the fire hazard of the adjacent wildland and the probability of flames and embers threatening buildings.

How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined?
CAL FIRE used the best available science and data to develop, and field test a model that served as the basis of zone assignments. The model evaluated the probability of the area burning and poten琀椀al fire behavior in the area. Many factors were included such as fire history, vegeta琀椀on, flame length, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, terrain, and weather.

What new data will be included in the new model, and how does this differ from the previous model?
A 2 km grid of climate data covering the years 2003-2018 is being used in the update. The previous model used stock weather inputs across the state to calculate wildland fire intensity scores. The updated model will adjust fire intensity scores based on the most extreme fire weather at a given loca琀椀on, considering temperature, humidity, and wind speed. In addi琀椀on, ember transport is being modeled based on local distribu琀椀ons of observed wind speed and direc琀椀on values instead of using a generic buffer distance for urban areas adjacent to wildlands.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
How can I search the Fire Hazard Severity Zone of a property? You can search by address to find your current designa琀椀on on the web at: osfm.fire.ca.gov/FHSZ Why does the model place an emphasis on the spread of embers? Embers spread wildfire because they can travel long distances in the wind and ignite vegeta琀椀on, roofs, a琀cs (by ge琀ng into vents), and decks.

Why do waterbodies have a Fire Hazard Severity Zone Classifica琀椀on? All areas in State Responsibility Area, including water bodies, require a Fire Hazard Severity Zone designa琀椀on. The 2007 FHSZ maps zoned all water as Moderate by default. In the 2023 FHSZ model we added a buffer of FHSZ from the surrounding wildland into water bodies to account for poten琀椀al threat of embers to buildings on docks and house boats, as well as varia琀椀on in reservoir height that occurs with drought.

How does CAL FIRE assist Local Governments in Fire Hazard Severity Zones? CAL FIRE’s Land Use Planning Program is a specialized unit that provides support to local governments by providing fire safety exper琀椀se on the State’s wildland urban interface building codes, wildfire safety codes, as well as helping in the development of the safety elements in general plans.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is State Responsibility Area or SRA?
SRA is a legal term defining the area where the state has financial responsibility for wildland fire protec琀椀on and preven琀椀on. Incorporated ci琀椀es and federal ownership are not included. Within the SRA, CAL FIRE is responsible for fire preven琀椀on and suppression. There are more than 31 million acres in SRA, with an es琀椀mated 1.7 million people and 800,000 exis琀椀ng homes.

How is State Responsibility Area determined?
The Board of Forestry and Fire Protec琀椀on (Board) classifies land as State Responsibility Area. The legal defini琀椀on of SRA is found in the Public Resources Code Sec琀椀on 4125. The Board has developed detailed procedures to classify lands as State Responsibility Area. Lands are removed from SRA when they become incorporated by a city, change in ownership to the federal government, become more densely populated, or are converted to intensive agriculture that minimizes the risk of wildfire. While some lands are removed from SRA automa琀椀cally, the Board typically reviews changes every five years.

What Fire Hazard Severity Zones are in State Responsibility Area? All of the State Responsibility Area is in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Lands are either ranked as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

What are the wildland urban interface (WUI) building codes in State Responsibility Area? The WUI building codes (California Building Code (CBC) Chapter 7A) reduce the risk of embers fanned by wind-blown wildfires from igni琀椀ng buildings. The codes for roofing, siding, decking, windows, and vents apply throughout all State Responsibility Area regardless of the fire hazard severity ranking. Ember-resistant building materials can be found at:

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the various Fire Hazard Severity Zones? Classifica琀椀on of a wildland zone as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard is based on the average hazard across the area included in the zone, which have a minimum size of 200 acres. In wildlands, hazard is a func琀椀on of modeled flame length under the worst condi琀椀ons and annual burn probability. Both these factors generally increase with increasing hazard level, but there may be instances where one value is Very High and the other is low, pushing the overall hazard into a more intermediate ranking. On average, both modeled flame length and burn probability increase by roughly 40-60% between hazard classes.

Is the GIS data for Fire Hazard Severity Zones available for download? The data inputs used to develop the Fire Hazard Severity Zones are iden琀椀fied in the Ini琀椀al Statement of Reasons (ISOR) Title 19 Development (ca.gov). CAL FIRE has developed an addi琀椀onal data package which consists of sequen琀椀al modeling steps, including any data inputs that were not already publicly available and referenced in the ISOR. The data package encompasses 34 spa琀椀al datasets and 8 tables, provided in raster, polygon, and table format. These datasets are forma琀琀ed for Esri ArcGIS so昀琀ware, except for four tables provided in Excel. Ten of the datasets are updated versions used to produce an edited SRA FHSZ map following the public comment period that ended April 4, 2023. Upon formal adop琀椀on of the FHSZ map, the final SRA FHSZ geospa琀椀al data file will become available. The data package is available on the FHSZ website Fire Hazard Severity Zones (ca.gov) under the science and methods banner.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is Local Responsibility Area or LRA?
Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) are incorporated ci琀椀es, urban regions, agriculture lands, and por琀椀ons of the desert where the local government is responsible for wildfire protec琀椀on. This is typically provided by city fire departments, fire protec琀椀on districts, coun琀椀es, and by CAL FIRE under contract.

When did Fire Hazard Severity Zones begin in Local Responsibility Area? Assembly Bill 337 (Bates, 1992) prompted by the devasta琀椀ng Oakland Hills Fire of 1991, calls for CAL FIRE to evaluate fire hazard severity in Local Responsibility Area and to make a recommenda琀椀on to the local jurisdic琀椀on where Very High FHSZ exist. Government Code 51175 then provides direc琀椀on for the local jurisdic琀椀on to take appropriate ac琀椀on.

How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined in Local Responsibility Areas? CAL FIRE uses an extension of the State Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone model as the basis for evalua琀椀ng fire hazard in Local Responsibility Area. The Local Responsibility Area hazard ra琀椀ng reflects flame and ember intrusion from adjacent wildlands and from flammable vegeta琀椀on in the urban area.

What are the requirements for landowners in Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas?
California’s WUI building codes (CBC Chapter 7A) apply to the design and construc琀椀on of new buildings located in High and Very High FHSZs in Local Responsibility Areas. Local ordinances may require igni琀椀on resistant construc琀椀on for remodel projects. Check with your local building department to determine which igni琀椀on resistant building codes apply to your project. In addi琀椀on, Government Code Sec琀椀on 51182 calls for defensible space clearance and other wildland fire safety prac琀椀ces for buildings. Owners are also required to make a natural hazard disclosure as part of a real estate transfer. For informa琀椀on regarding home hardening and defensible space clearance, visit www.readyforwildfire.org.

Does the designa琀椀on of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area trigger the 100-foot clearance requirement?
Yes, per Government Code 51182 unless a local government has passed a more stringent requirement, the 100-foot defensible space clearance applies. For informa琀椀on regarding home hardening and defensible space clearance, visit www.readyforwildfire.org.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? In non-wildland areas, zone edges occur based on distance to the wildland edge. Because hazard in these areas is largely determined by incoming embers from adjacent wildland, urban areas that are similar in vegeta琀椀on type and housing density may have a change in FHSZ class as the distance to the wildland edge increases. Areas immediately adjacent to wildland receive the same FHSZ score as that wildland where fire originates, and the model then produces lower scores as the distance to wildland edge increases.

What is the process for developing Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area? CAL FIRE uses the same modeling data that is used to map the State Responsibility Area. The map, along with a model ordinance, are then sent to the governing body for adop琀椀on.

How are the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones impac琀椀ng development? Many of the changes expanding Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas have been supported by the building industry. CAL FIRE works closely with the building industry when se琀ng various building codes and defensible space requirements, so we are working together to not affect development itself but to make sure development matches the hazards of that area.

When will the Local Responsibility Area Map be released? The Local Responsibility Area map process will happen a昀琀er the State Responsibility Area process has been completed, which is es琀椀mated to occur in winter of 2025.

Why haven’t Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes been classified before in the Local Responsibility Area?
New legisla琀椀on, Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021), now requires the adop琀椀on of all three Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes in the Local Responsibility Area. Previously only Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones were required for adop琀椀on in Local Responsibility Areas.

Assembly Bill No.337
An act to add Chapter 6.8 (commencing with Section 51175) to Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code, and to amend Section 13108.5 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to fire protection.
[Enrolled, January 28, 1991]
AB 337, Bates. Very high fire hazard severity zones.
(1) Under existing law, the State Board of Forestry is required to classify all lands within the state, in accordance with prescribed criteria, for the purpose of determining areas in which the financial responsibility of preventing and suppressing fires is primarily the responsibility of the state.

This bill would declare that the prevention of fires is not a municipal affair but is instead, a matter of statewide concern, and would make a finding and declaration of the Legislature that its provisions apply to all local agencies, including, but not limited to, charter cities, charter counties, and charter cities and counties. The bill would prohibit that finding from limiting the authority of a local agency, as defined, from imposing more restrictive fire and panic safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law.

The bill would state that it is not the intent of the Legislature to limit or restrict the authority of a local agency to impose more restrictive fire and panic safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law.

This bill would require the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection to identify areas in the state as very high fire hazard severity zones within all counties pursuant to a prescribed schedule. The bill would require local agencies, as defined, to designate, by ordinance, very high fire hazard severity zones in their jurisdiction after receiving recommendations from the director, except as prescribed. The bill would authorize local agencies to include or exclude areas following certain findings and would require changes made by local agencies to be final and not rebuttable by the director. By requiring local agencies to designate very high fire hazard severity zones within their jurisdictions, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the State Fire Marshal to prepare and adopt a model ordinance that provides for the establishment of any high fire hazard security zones.

Assembly Bill No.337 (Continued)
(2) Under existing law, any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains any building or structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area or forest-covered lands, brush-covered lands, or grass-covered lands, or any land that is covered with flammable material, is required to undertake specified fire protection measures, including the maintenance of specified firebreaks.

The bill would enact requirements of this nature for any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains, any occupied dwelling or occupied structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area, forest-covered land, brush-covered land, grass-covered land, or land covered with flammable material, which area or land is within a very high fire hazard severity zone, as described in (1).

The bill would authorize local agencies to exempt certain structures and would exempt certain land or water areas.

The bill would make violation of these requirements an infraction or misdemeanor, as specified, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime, and would specify related matters.

This bill would require local agencies to notify owners of property of violation and would authorize local agencies to correct the conditions and make a lien upon the property, as prescribed. By creating these requirements, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The bill would permit a violation of these requirements to be considered a public nuisance, as specified.
(3) Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal to adopt, amend, and repeal regulations for roof coverings and openings into the attic areas of buildings in those fire hazard severity zones in state responsibility lands as designated by the director. Existing law requires the director to classify lands within state responsibility areas into fire hazard severity zones.

This bill would instead require the State Fire Marshal to propose, and would require the State Building Standards Commission to adopt, amend, and repeal those regulations. The bill would also require the State Fire Marshal to propose, and would require the State Building Standards Commission to adopt, amend, and repeal, those regulations for buildings in very high fire hazard severity zones in state responsibility lands, designated by the director, and in very high fire hazard severity zones as described in (1). The bill would require roofs on all new buildings and certain existing buildings in both of those zones to be at least a class B roof that complies with Standard 32-7 of the Uniform Building Code, as adopted in the California Building Standards Code. The bill would impose requirements on installers and roofing materials and make other related changes. The bill would exempt historic buildings, as defined, from these provisions.

Increasing Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ)
Area and Designation
Government Code section 51179 requires a local agency to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high FHSZ within 120 days of receiving the identified FHSZ’s from the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Section 51178.

The law does not allow for a local jurisdiction to request changes or provide comments to the State Fire Marshal on the FHSZ designations. However, a local agency may choose to increase the designation of a FHSZ from the FHSZ identified by the State Fire Marshal, or designate areas as having a FHSZ that were not designated in a FHSZ by the State Fire Marshal. This may occur because FHSZ zone edges in the maps and data from the State Fire Marshal are not aligned with parcel boundaries or roads that some may consider for lines of convenance when adopting ordinances. A local agency is not allowed to reduce the designation of a FHSZ classification from the State Fire Marshal (i.e. a local agency cannot make an area designated as High by the State Fire Marshal, Moderate in its adopted ordinance).

However, a local jurisdiction can increase the designation from the one identified by the State Fire Marshal. If a local agency decides to increase the designation of a FHSZ, it may do so if it does the following:

1. If increasing the designation to Very High, a local agency must make a finding supported by substantial evidence in the record that the requirements of Government Code section 51182 are necessary for effective fire protection.

2. If increasing the designation to Moderate or High, a local agency may do this at its discretion.

If a local agency decides to include areas in its FHSZ adopted ordinance not identified as being in a FHSZ by the State Fire Marshal, it may include those areas if it does the following:

1. If including areas not identified as being in a FHSZ and designating it as Very High, a local agency must make a finding supported by substantial evidence in the record that the requirements of Government Code section 51182 are necessary for effective fire protection.

2. If including areas not identified as being in a FHSZ and designating it as Moderate or High, a local agency may do this at its discretion.

Q&A – Insurance and CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps

1. How will the updated CAL FIRE maps affect insurance availability and affordability? CAL FIRE’s maps are intended to drive local planning decisions, not insurance decisions. Under Commissioner Lara’s new regulation finalized in October 2022, insurance companies must provide discounts for wildfire safety actions such as community mitigation and home-hardening, which CAL FIRE’s maps do not assess. In addition, insurance companies are already using risk analysis tools and models that go beyond CAL FIRE’s proposed maps in determining what properties they will underwrite.

Commissioner Lara’s new wildfire safety regulation will help increase access to insurance by promoting wildfire safety across the state. Reducing wildfire risks throughout the state is the primary way we can make insurance more available and affordable, and our regulation is a major step towards that goal. CAL FIRE’s maps support that goal through improving public education about hazard and the need for safety preparation.

2. How will these maps benefit the public?
Public education about where current wildfire hazards exist is essential to reducing the threat to local communities and maintaining access to available and affordable insurance. When communities know and understand their risks, they can plan and prepare.

In addition, the Department’s first-ever report on climate insurance recommended updated wildfire hazard mapping to improve public safety.

3. If you are a homeowner and your zone changed from High Hazard to Very High Hazard, will this impact your insurance premiums or renewal ability? For many years, insurance companies have been using alternate wildfire risk tools for determining where they will write and renew policies, and how much premium to charge a policyholder, not the Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps. Therefore, a change in designation on the maps for a single homeowner is unlikely to affect their insurance. The reality is that more accurate risk information enables homeowners and communities to reduce their wildfire risks, and Commissioner Lara’s new wildfire mitigation regulation clarifies what actions you should take to reduce wildfire risks. Once that regulation is fully implemented, if a homeowner or business owner takes those risk mitigation actions, they will be able to see a discount in their insurance premium.

Yreka City Council Agenda
04-01-2025

Page 141 of 156 ends

4. How is the state addressing wildfire mitigation?
By design, CAL FIRE’s maps are focused on long-range wildfire hazard, which includes only certain variables, like wind, vegetation, ember production and movement, climate, topography, and fire history. CAL FIRE’s maps will give up to date information to communities about the level of wildfire hazard they face, which could help target resources at the state and local level. Expanded state grant programs and Commissioner Lara’s new wildfire safety regulation are aimed at reducing wildfire risks to communities through programs such as Firewise USA and the new Fire Risk Reduction Community designation from the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Discussion/Possible Action: A discussion of Government Code 36513 and possible violations by Councilmember Drake Davis and whether a vacancy has occurred on the Yreka City Council.

March 18, 2025
Discussion:

On September 12th of 2024 Mayor Pro-Tempore Paul McCoy suffered a heart attack that left him hospitalized and unknowing of his participation for a return date to the Yreka City Council. On advice from Andrew Jared, the City Attorney, direction was given to the Yreka City Council that a vote on an extended leave of absence beyond the 60 day timeframe was required in order to comply with Government Code 36513 and allow Mayor Pro-Tempore Paul McCoy to retain his seat, if he in fact missed more than 60 days, which he did not as he only missed 41 total consecutive days.

At the October 1st, 2024 Yreka City Council meeting the Yreka City Council voted on a special item added to the agenda for a leave of absence for Mayor Pro Tempore Paul McCoy. At said meeting City Attorney Andrew Jared stated, “Government code 36513 which has a 60 day time period for any councilmember who misses consecutive council meetings within a consecutive 60 day period.” It was required by the City Attorney that a vote for a leave of absence be taken in order for a possible granted leave of absence beyond the 60-day time period as stated in government code 36513. It was inferred that if a leave of absence was not granted and Mayor Pro Tempore Paul McCoy missed 60 days in between meetings that he would in fact lose his seat on the Yreka City Council based upon government code 36513.

On October 1st, 2024, Drake Davis attended the regularly scheduled Yreka City Council meeting.

Council member Davis missed the October 15th regularly scheduled Yreka City Council meeting and did not return to a regular Yreka City Council meeting until December 3rd, 2024, leaving a 62 day gap of no attendance between regularly scheduled Yreka City Council meetings. By definition of government code 36513 Councilmember Drake Davis appears to be in violation and has abandoned his seat on the Yreka City Council.

It is apparent that Councilmember Davis violated California government code 36513 and therefore his Yreka City Council seat is vacated.
