CITY OF YREKA

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
To: Yreka City Council
From: Cyndy Prohaska, City Clerk
Prepared by: Cyndy Prohaska, City Clerk
Agenda title: Adopt Resolution requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Siskiyou to consolidate a General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with the Statewide General Election.

Meeting date: May 19, 2026
Discussion:

Elections Code sections 10400 et seq. authorize cities to conduct municipal elections and consolidate those elections with statewide elections. Section 10403 requires the City to adopt a Resolution requesting the consolidation, and setting forth the exact form of any question, proposition, or office to be voted upon at the election, as it is to appear on the ballot.

The terms of office for three members of the City Council—Colleen Baker, Drake Davis, and Paul McCoy—expire in November 2026. Pursuant to California Elections Code requirements, the City must call a General Municipal Election for the purpose of electing candidates to those seats.

The proposed resolution calls the General Municipal Election for Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and requests that the election be consolidated with the Statewide General Election occurring on the same date. Consolidation allows the County Elections Official to administer the election on behalf of the City.

The proposed General Municipal Election will be conducted for the purpose of electing three City Council members to full four-year terms. The elected candidates will serve until November 2030 and until their successors are elected and qualified.

If the proposed Resolution No. 2026-16 is adopted, the City Clerk will transmit certified copies of the resolution to the County Board of Supervisors and the County Elections Official in accordance with Elections Code requirements.

Candidate nomination periods, election notices, and related election deadlines will be administered pursuant to the California Elections Code and the County Elections Official’s calendar.

Yreka City Council Agenda

Yreka City Council Agenda Page 44 of 151
May 19, 2026
Environmental Review:

The proposed action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5), as it involves organizational or administrative activities of government that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

Strategic Plan Relationship:

The recommended action supports the City’s commitment to effective governance, civic participation, and compliance with state election laws.

Fiscal Impact:

Historically, the shared cost of a consolidated election is about $6,000. Election costs will be covered by the Fiscal Year 2026–27 budget.

Recommendation and Requested Action:

Approval of Resolution 2026-16 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Yreka, California, Requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Siskiyou to Consolidate a General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election to be held on November 3, 2026.

The City of Yreka received an application for an annexation from Richard Evans to annex approximately 3.20 acres of unincorporated Siskiyou County land, identified as the northeastern portion of APN 014-430-120, into the City of Yreka.

The annexation would merge the annexed territory with the existing City parcel APN 062-202-150. The purpose of the annexation is to allow the property owner to comply with the City of Yreka minimum acreage requirement for the keeping of horses on the property. The annexed land would bring the total acreage of the property above the 5-acre minimum. The applicant does not propose to change the Low-Density Residential zoning or general plan designation.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
TO: Yreka City Council
FROM: Julia Homaechevarria, Interim City Attorney
AGENDA TITLE: Amendment of Legal Services Agreement with Colantuono, Highsmith & Whatley, PC, and Appointment of Julia
Homaechevarria as City Attorney
MEETING DATE: May 19, 2026
Discussion
Colantuono, Highsmith & Whatley, PC (“CHW”) has provided legal services to the City of Yreka since April, 2023. Since execution of the Legal Services Agreement, Andrew L. Jared has been the designated City Attorney. Mr. Jared is resigning as City Attorney due to professional obligations conflicting with and the timing of the City Council’s regular meeting schedule. The proposed amendment reflects a transition in designated City Attorney to ensure consistent attendance and responsiveness for City meetings and municipal legal matters The proposed amendment formally designates Julia Homaechevarria as City Attorney. In addition to naming Ms. Homaechevarria designated City Attorney, the amendment adjusts the fees for work CHW performs and for travel time, but does not otherwise change the legal services provided.

Under the amendment, Ms. Homaechevarria will attend all regularly scheduled Council meetings unless excused, will provide the same scope of services as has been provided by CHW, will supervise all legal services provided under the agreement, and ensure continuity of representation.

The City Council, must approve the appointment and attached Amendment to Legal Services Agreement at a regular meeting by formal action in open session. Prior to taking final action, they must receive an oral report in open session summarizing recommendation of the rate increase component of the amendment pursuant to Government Code section 54953.

Amendment to Rates Summary
CHW has not raised the fees charged since the Agreement for Legal Services was first executed in 2023. In recognition of the fact that over the last three years inflation has aggregated, the proposed adjustments reflect increased operational and personnel costs. Effective rates will be as follows:

AGREEMENT FOR LEGAL SERVICES
This Agreement for Legal Services ("Agreement") is made and entered into by and between the law firm of Colantuono, Highsmith & Whatley, PC, ("Firm") and the City of Yreka ("City").

RECITALS
A. The City desires to retain the Firm to discharge the duties of the office of City Attorney and to designate a member of the Firm as City Attorney.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Scope of Services.

A. The Firm shall discharge the duties of the office of City Attorney of the City of Yreka and shall use its best efforts to provide legal services in a competent and professional manner. The Firm shall provide all legal services to the City of the kind and nature typically provided by an in-house City Attorney's office and as provided in the Yreka Municipal Code unless specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement or otherwise directed in writing by the City. Except where conflict of interest rules require otherwise, the Firm shall supervise the activities of all other counsel retained by or for the City and shall review the work of such counsel on behalf of the City.

2. Designation of City Attorney.

Jared will attend all regularly scheduled Council meetings and make best efforts to attend all special Council meetings unless excused by Council or the City Manager or absent due to illness, an annual vacation or to a once-or-twice-per-year business commitment (such as a conference of the League of California Cities) and will supervise all services rendered under this Agreement. David J. Ruderman is designated as 1 Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 80 of 151
May 19, 2026
Assistant City Attorney. Should there be an occasion where the two designated attorneys are not available, it is the Firm's responsibility to ensure that a competent attorney is available for attendance at Council meetings. The parties will cooperate to avoid unnecessary travel to the City for meetings, especially when substantially similar service can be provided remotely via teleconference or video conference.

3. Billing Procedures and Monthly Statements.

A. The Firm shall submit to the City, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, an itemized statement of the professional services provided and the time expended to provide those services in the form customarily submitted by the Firm to clients which are billed on an hourly basis. The parties acknowledge that payment of all monthly statements is expected to be made within thirty (30) days of the billing date. The City will not be liable for interest or finance charges, though persistent late payment shall be a basis for the Firm to review its relationship with the City.

B. Time will be charged by the Firm in increments of 1/10 of an hour (i.e., sixminute units). The rate structure in general, or the rates of attorneys of particular levels of experience, may be increased or altered from time to time, after written notice to, and approval by, the City. No such change shall affect the terms of Exhibit A to this Agreement absent amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 below. The current hourly rates of the Firm's professionals are shown in Exhibit B attached hereto.

C. The Firm will not charge the City for the attendance of more than one attorney at any meeting, proceeding or deposition without first discussing the need to do so with the principal client contact for the matter, and will limit multiple attendance to exceptional circumstances where such attendance is necessary for the benefit of the client.

4. Resolution of Fee Disputes.

The City is entitled to require that any fee dispute be resolved by binding arbitration in Sacramento County pursuant to the arbitration rules of the Sacramento County Bar Association for legal fee disputes. In the event that City chooses not to utilize the Sacramento County Bar Association's arbitration procedures, City agrees that all disputes regarding the professional services rendered or fees charged by the Firm shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Sacramento County to be conducted by JAMS in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules. 2 Yreka City Council Agenda

5. Term of the Agreement.

This Agreement shall be effective as of April 14, 2023 ("Effective Date") and shall be and remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof.

6. Termination of the Agreement.

City has the right to terminate the Firm's representation at any time, without cause, subject to an obligation to give notice in writing to the Firm at least thirty (30) days prior to termination. Termination is effective thirty (30) days from the date of the written notice unless otherwise specified therein. The Firm has the same right, subject to the Firm's ethical obligations to allow the City sufficient notice prior to termination so that City will be able to arrange alternative representation. In either circumstance, City agrees to secure new counsel as quickly as possible and to cooperate fully in the substitution of the new counsel as counsel of record in any action in which the Firm may represent the City. The Firm agrees to cooperate fully in any such transition, including the transfer of files. Notwithstanding the termination of the Firm's representation, City will remain obligated to pay to the Firm all fees and costs incurred prior thereto.

7. Files and Records.

A. All legal files of the Firm pertaining to the City shall be and remain the property of City. The Firm will control the physical location of such files during the term of this Agreement. The Firm may, in its discretion, maintain all or part of the City's client file in electronic format. The Firm may store part or all of the City's electronic documents using secure cloud storage services. If so, the Firm will use all reasonable methods to maintain the confidentiality of City files, just as it does for the City's nondigital files. The City's data will be password protected and encrypted using currently available technology.

B. The Firm shall maintain full and accurate records with respect to all matters covered under this Agreement for a period of three years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement. If the City asks the Firm to deliver its file to the City, delivery of an electronic version, together with any materials that cannot be saved electronically, satisfies the Firm's obligation to release all client papers and property to the City. Three years after termination of the attorney-client relationship, and after reasonable notice, the Firm will be free to destroy the City's client file, including all electronic records. The Firm may also discharge its obligation to maintain the City's file 3 Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 82 of 151
May 19, 2026
prior to the expiration of three years by mailing a copy to the City. "Reasonable notice" means the Firm's mailing of a notice of our intent to destroy your client file to the City.

C. City shall have the right to access and examine records of the Firm pertaining to the City, without charge, during normal business hours upon written request, provided, however, that Firm may protect the confidences of its other clients in providing this information to the City and otherwise comply with applicable law. City shall further have the right to audit such records, to make transcripts therefrom and to inspect all data, documents, proceedings, and activities upon written request, provided, however, that Firm may protect the confidences of its other clients in providing this information to the City and otherwise comply with applicable law. The Firm does not permit direct access to its files by clients, but will provide the City access to the Firm's records pertaining to the City as provided herein and upon written request. This same procedure will apply to information stored in the cloud.

8. Modifications to the Agreement.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by agreement of the parties.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, modifications relating to the nature, extent, or duration of the Firm's professional services to be rendered hereunder shall require the prior written approval of the City Council. Any such written approval shall be deemed to be a supplement to this Agreement and shall specify any changes in the Scope of Services and the agreed-upon billing rates to be charged by the Firm and paid by the City.

9. Independent Contractor.

No employment relationship is created by this Agreement. The Firm and its members shall, for all purposes, be an independent contractor to the City.

3. California Environmental Quality Act Notice of Exemption Form
Summary:

The City of Yreka has prepared an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) to bring the City of Yreka into compliance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act. The 2025 UWMP outlines the City of Yreka water service and system and projects water supply needs and reliability, while the WSCP outlines policies and procedures to be implemented in drought and water shortage conditions. Adoption of this plan would ensure the City of Yreka complies with Water Code Section 10610-10656.

Background:

The Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMPA) was enacted by the California Legislature in 1983 to address the growing need for comprehensive water supply planning across the state’s urban areas. Codified in California Water Code sections 10610-10656, the UWMPA requires urban water suppliers serving more than 3,000 customers or delivering more than 3,000 acre-feet annually to prepare and adopt comprehensive water management plans every five years.

The City was required to prepare its first UWMP in 2010 after reaching the 3,000 customer threshold. Yreka has prepared this 2025 UWMP to comply with the UWMPA requirements and address the City’s water management planning efforts Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 105 of 151
May 19, 2026
to assure adequate water supplies to meet forecast demands over the next 25 years.

As required by the UWMPA, this 2025 UWMP specifically assesses the availability of the City’s supplies to meet forecast water uses during average, single-dry, and five consecutive drought years through 2050. Verification that future demands will not exceed supplies and assuring the availability of supplies in dry-year conditions are critical outcomes of this plan. The 2025 UWMP is an update to the City’s 2020 UWMP and presents new data and analysis as required by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the California Water Code. This comprehensive water planning document describes existing and future supply reliability, forecasts future water uses, presents demand management progress, and identifies local and regional cooperative efforts to meet projected water use.

The UWMP is designed to be a valuable water management and planning tool to guide and inform the City’s staff, customers, and the State of California about Yreka’s water management practices. It reflects the City’s planning assumptions and goals and should be used in combination with other planning resources and documents over the UWMP planning horizon, representing Yreka’s continued commitment to responsible water stewardship and proactive strategies that protect both water reliability and community prosperity.

The Water Shortage Contingency Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act (California Water Code §10632) as part of the City’s ongoing efforts to ensure water supply reliability during periods of shortage. The WSCP establishes a framework of staged response actions, demand reduction measures, and monitoring procedures to address varying levels of water supply constraints and support effective management of the City’s available water resources, which are subject to variability based on hydrologic conditions and operational factors.

Environmental Review:

The preparation and adoption of the 2025 UWMP and WSCP is statutorily exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). California Water Code Section 10652 simply states that preparation, adoption, and implementation of the UWMP and WSCP do not constitute a project under CEQA; therefore, environmental review is not required.

Review by Public & Outside Agencies:

Coordination and communication among agencies play a critical role in promoting reliability, resilience, and sustainability of the region’s water supplies. In accordance with Water Code §10620(d)(3), the City coordinated the Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 106 of 151
May 19, 2026
preparation of this UWMP with other appropriate agencies adjacent to its service area, including water management agencies and relevant public entities.

In compliance with Water Code §10621(b), the City provided notification to all affected cities and counties at least 60 days prior to the public hearing on this UWMP update, ensuring adequate opportunity for review and participation.

Additionally, the City conducted outreach to community stakeholders and encouraged the involvement of diverse social, cultural, and economic elements within the service area, as required under Water Code §10642. These efforts reflect the City’s ongoing commitment to public transparency and engagement in water resource planning.

Policies & Protocol Related to Conduct
Ceremonial Events
Requests and correspondence for ceremonial events will be coordinated by City Clerk. The Mayor will serve as the designated City representative. If the Mayor is unavailable, then the City Manager will inquire if event organizers would like another representative from the Council.

Invitations addressed to Council Members at their homes are presumed to be for unofficial, personal consideration.

City staff will prepare official letters in response to public inquiries and concerns. These letters will carry the signature of the Mayor unless the Mayor requests that they be signed by another Council Member or City staff. If correspondence is addressed only to one Council Member, that Council Member is expected to check with the City Manager on the best way to respond to the sender.

Absences from Public Meetings
Council Members are expected to notify the Mayor prior to the start of any scheduled meeting, if they are going to be absent from participation. Following notification, the Mayor is expected to get back to the Council Member on Yreka City Council Agenda

If a Council Member has a planned vacation where they will be absent for a meeting, they are expected to notify the Mayor at least thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled meeting, or as soon as practical.

Council Conduct with One Another
Councils are composed of individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds, personalities, values, opinions, and goals. Despite this diversity, all have chose to serve in public office in order to preserve and protect the present and the future of the community. In all cases, this common goal should be acknowledged even as Council may "agree to disagree" on contentious issues.

In Public Meetings
• Use formal titles. The Council is expected to refer to one another formally during the public meetings as Mayor, Mayor Pro-Tempore or Council Member followed by the individual's last name.
• Honor the role of the Chair in maintaining order. It is the responsibility of the Chair to keep the comments of the Council Members on track during public meetings. Council Members should honor efforts by the chair to focus discussion on current agenda items. If there is disagreement about the agenda or the Chair's actions, those objections should be voiced professionally and with reason, following procedures outlined in parliamentary procedure.

• Check with City staff on correspondence before taking action. Before sending correspondence, Council Members are expected to check with City staff to see if an official response has been sent or is in process.

Without Council approval, a Council Member has no authority to represent the City's policy or position on an issue.

and the public works maintenance yard. City Council Members who request a police ride-along from the City Manager must make the request at least ten (10) days prior to the event and have approval from the Chief of Police before the ride-along can commence.
• Elected and appointed officials shall not solicit any type of political support (financial contributions, display of posters or lawn signs, name on support list, etc.) from City staff. City staff may, as private citizens with constitutional rights, support political candidates but all such activities shall be done away from the workplace.

Council Conduct with the Public

Confidentiality
No Council Member without prior formal authorization of the Council or the City Attorney disclose confidential information concerning other Council Member, officials, employees, or any other person, property, or governmental affairs of the City, except as required by law.
• The term “Confidential Information” shall mean information that is not generally known in the public and/or is not subject to disclosure under California Public Records Act or other applicable law. Some examples of Confidential Information include attorney-client privileged communications, attorney client work product, and personnel, medical or similar information the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy.

Sanctions
Council Members Behavior and Conduct
City Council Members who intentionally and repeatedly do not follow proper conduct may be reprimanded or formally censured by the Council. Serious infractions of the Code of Conduct can lead to other sanctions as deemed appropriate by Council, as outlined in the section below for disciplinary action.

Considerations in Determining Disciplinary Action
Disciplinary action may be imposed by the Council upon Council Members who have violated the Council’s Code of Conduct Policy. Disciplinary action or sanctions are considered when a serious violation of City policy has occurred by a council member. In determining the type of sanction imposed, the following factors may be considered
• Nature of the violation
• Prior violations by the same individual
• Other factors which bear upon the seriousness of the violation Yreka City Council Agenda

Yreka City Council Agenda Page 122 of 151
May 19, 2026
Process for Determining Sanctions
When a complaint is made by one Council Member against another Council Member, the complainant is expected to submit a written complaint to the Mayor. Upon receiving the written complaint, the Mayor will promptly review the alleged behavior.

If the Mayor determines that the complaint has merit, the matter will be placed on a future Council agenda for discussion and possible action by the full Council. During the Council’s discussion, the Council Member who is the subject of the complaint may participate in the discussion but is prohibited from voting or otherwise taking official action on the matter.

Types of Sanctions
At the discretion of the council, sanctions may be imposed for violating the Code of Conduct or engaging in other misconduct. These actions may be applied individually or in combination, but are limited to:
• Public Admonishment – A reproof or warning directed to a council member about a particular type of behavior the violates the Code of Conduct.
• Revocation of Special Privileges – A revocation of a council members commission, and community generated board/committee appointments.

Other revocations may include temporary suspension of official travel, conference participation, and ceremonial titles.
• Censure – A formal statement or resolution by the Council officially reprimanding a Council Member.

This Code of Conduct is designed to describe the manner in which Council Members should treat one another, city staff, constituents, and others they come into contact with in representing the City of Yreka. The constant and consistent theme through all of the conduct guidelines is "respect." Council Members experience huge workloads and tremendous stress in making decisions that could impact thousands of lives. Despite these pressures, elected officials are called upon to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times.

Den1onstrating respect for each individual through words and actions is the touchstone that can help guide Council Members to do the right thing in even the most difficult situations.

Overview of Roles and Responsibilities
Other resources that are helpful in defining the roles and responsibilities of elected officials can be found in the Yreka Municipal Code and in the Leadership Guide for Mayors and Council Members published by the League of California Cities.

Meeting Chair
The Mayor will chair official meetings of the City Council, unless the Mayor Pro-Tempore or another Council Member is designated as Chair of a specific meeting.
• Maintains order, decorum, and the fair and equitable treatment of all speakers.
• Keeps discussion and questions focused on specific agenda item under consideration.
• Make parliamentary rulings with advice, if requested, from the City Attorney who acts as an advisory parliamentarian. Chair rulings may be overturned if a Council Member makes a motion as an individual and the majority of the Council votes to overrule the Chair.

Former Council Members
Past members of the City Council who speak to the current City Council about a pending issue should disclose on whose behalf they are speaking (individual or organization).

Policies & Protocol Related to Conduct.

Ceremonial Events
Requests for a City representative at ceremonial events will be handled by City staff. The Mayor will serve as the designated City representative. If the Mayor is unavailable, then the City Manager will determine if event organizers would like another representative from the Council. If yes, then the Mayor will recommend which Council Member should be asked to serve as a substitute. Invitations received at City Hall are presumed to be for official City representation.

Invitations addressed to Council Members at their homes are presumed to be for unofficial, personal consideration. City staff will prepare official letters in response to public inquiries and concerns. These letters will carry the signature of the Mayor unless the Mayor requests that they be signed by another Council Member or City staff. If correspondence is addressed only to one Council Member, that Council Member should check with the City Manager on the best way to respond to the sender.

May 19, 2026
Endorsements of Candidates
Council Members have the right to endorse candidates for all Council seats or other elected offices. It is inappropriate to mention endorsements during Council meetings or other official City meetings.

Public Meeting Hearing Protocol
The applicant or appellant (if the hearing is on an appeal) shall have the right to speak first. The Chair will determine the length of time allowed for this presentation. Speakers representing either pro or con points of view will be allowed to follow. The Chair will determine how much time will be allowed for each speaker, with 5 minutes being standard time granted. The applicant or appellant will be allowed to make closing comments. The Chair has the responsibility to run an efficient public meeting and has the discretion to modify the public hearing process in order to make the meeting run smoothly.

Council Members will not express opinions during the public hearing portion of the meeting except to ask pertinent questions of the speaker or staff. "I think" and "I feel" comments by Council Members are not appropriate until after the close of the public hearing. Council Members should refrain from arguing or debating with the public during a public hearing and shall always show respect for different points of view.

Main motions may be followed by amendments, followed by substitute motions. Any Council Member can call for a point of order. Only Council Members who voted on the prevailing side may make motions to reconsider.

Council Members who desire to make the first motion on issues that they feel strongly about should discuss their intention with the Chair in advance of the Council meeting.

Council Conduct with One Another
Councils are composed of individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds, personalities, values, opinions, and goals. Despite this diversity, all have chose to serve in public office in order to preserve and protect the present and the future of the community. In all cases, this common goal should be 9-5-02 Page 5 of 16
Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 130 of 151
May 19, 2026
acknowledged even as Council may "agree to disagree" on contentious issues.

In Public Meetings
• Use formal titles. The Council should refer to one another formally during the public meetings as Mayor, Mayor Pro-Tempore or Council Member followed by the individual's last name.
• Practice civility and decorum in discussions and debate. Difficult questions, tough challenges to a particular point of view, and criticism of ideas and information are legitimate elements of a free democracy in action. This does not allow, however, Council Members to make belligerent, personal, impertinent, slanderous, threatening, abusive, or disparaging comments. No shouting or physical actions that could be construed as threatening will be tolerated.
• Honor the role of the Chair in maintaining order. It is the responsibility of the Chair to keep the comments of the Council members on track during public meetings. Council Members should honor efforts by the chair to focus discussion on current agenda items. If there is disagreement about the agenda or the Chair's actions, those objections should be voiced politely and with reason, following procedures outlined in parliamentary procedure.
• A void personal comments that could offend other Council Members. If a Council Member is personally offended by the remarks of another Council Member, the offended Council Member should make notes of the actual words used and call for a "point of personal privilege" that challenges the other Council Member to justify or apologize for the language used. The Chair will maintain control of this discussion. • Demonstrate effective problem-solving approaches. Council Members have a public stage to show how individuals with disparate points of view can find common ground and seek a compromise that benefits the community as a whole.

Yreka City Council Agenda Page 131 of 151
May 19, 2026
In Private Encounters
• Continue respectful behavior in private. The same level of respect and consideration of differing points of view that is deemed appropriate for public discussions should be maintained in private conversations. • Be aware of the insecurity of written notes, voicemail messages, and email technology allows words written or said without much forethought to be distributed wide and far. Would you feel comfortable to have this note faxed to others? How would you feel if this voicemail message was played on a speakerphone in a full office? What would happen if this e-mail message were forwarded to others? Written notes, voicemail messages and e-mail should be treated as potentially "public" communication.
• Even private conversations can have a public presence. Elected officials are always on display - their actions, mannerisms, and language are monitored by people around them that they may not know. Lunch table conversations will be eavesdropped upon, parking lot debates will be watched, and casual comments between individuals before and after public meetings noted.

Council Conduct with City Staff
Governance of a City relies on the cooperative efforts of elected officials, who set policy, and City staff, who implement and administer the Council's policies. Therefore, every effort should be made to be cooperative and show mutual respect for the contributions made by each individual for the good of the community.
• Treat all staff as professionals. Clean honest communication that respects the abilities, experience and dignity of each individual is expected. Poor behavior towards staff is not acceptable. • Limit contact to specific City staff except in an emergency when the City Manager is not available. Questions of City staff and/or requests for additional background information should be directed to the City Manager, Assistant to the City Manager or the City Attorney. 9-5-02 Page 7 of 16
Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 132 of 151
May 19, 2026
• Do not disrupt City staff from their jobs. Council Members should not disrupt City staff while they are in meetings, on the phone, or engrossed in performing their job functions in order to have their individual needs met.
• Never publicly criticize an individual employee. Council should never express concerns about the performance of a City employee in public, to the employee directly, or to the employee's manager. Comments about staff performance should only be made to the City Manager through private correspondence or conversation.
• Do not get involved in administrative functions. Council Members must not attempt to influence City staff on the making of appointments, awarding of contracts, selecting of consultants, processing of development applications, or granting of city licenses and permits. • Check with City staff on correspondence before taking action. Before sending correspondence, Council Members should check with City staff to see if an official City response has already been sent or is in process.

Without Council approval, a Council Member has no authority to represent the City's policy or position on an issue.
• Do not attend meetings with City staff unless requested by staff. Even if the Council Member does not say anything, the Council Member's presence implies support, show partiality, intimidates staff, and hampers staffs ability to do their job objectively.
• Limit requests for staff support. Routine secretarial support will be provided to all Council members. All mail for Council Members is opened by the Assistant to the City Manager unless other arrangements are requested by a Council Member. Mail addressed to the Mayor is reviewed first by the City Manager who notes suggested action and/or follow-up items. Requests for additional staff support, even in high priority or emergency situations, should be made to the City Manager who is responsible for allocating City resources in order to maintain a professional, well-run City government.
• Do not solicit political support from staff. Council Members should not solicit any type of political support (financial contributions, display of 9-5-02 Page 8 of 16

posters or lawn signs, name on support list, etc.) from City staff. City staff may, as private citizens with constitutional rights, support political candidates but all such activities must be done away from the workplace.

Council Conduct with the Public.

In Public Meetings
Making the public feel welcome is an important part of the democratic process. No signs of partiality, prejudice or disrespect should be evident on the part of individual Council Members toward an individual participating in a public forum. Every effort should be made to be fair and impartial in listening to public testimony.
• Be welcoming to speakers and treat them with care and gentleness. "I give many public presentations, so standing up in front of a group and using a microphone is not new to me. But I found that speaking in front of Council was an entirely different experience. I was incredibly nervous and my voice was shaking. I think the reason was because the issue was so personal to me. The Council was going to take a vote that would affect my family's daily life and my home. I was feeling a lot of emotion. The way that Council treats people during public hearings can do a lot to make them relax or to push their emotions to a higher level of intensity."
• Be fair and equitable in allocating public hearing time to individual speakers. "The first thing the Mayor said to me was to be brief because the meeting was running late and the Council was eager to go home.

That shouldn't be my problem. I'm sorry my item was at the end of the agenda and that there were a lot of speakers, but it is critically important to me and I should be allowed to say what I have to say and believe that the Council is listening to me."
The Chair will determine and announce limits on speakers at the start of the public hearing process. Generally, each speaker will be allocated five-minutes with applicants and appellants, or their designated representatives allowed more time. If many speakers are anticipated, the Chair may shorten the time limit and/or ask speakers to limit themselves to new information and points of view not already covered 9-5-02 Page 9 of 16
Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 134 of 151
May 19, 2026
by previous speakers. No speaker will be turned away unless he or she exhibits inappropriate behavior. Each speaker may only speak once during the public hearing unless the Council requests additional clarification later in the process. After the close of the public hearing, no more public testimony will be accepted unless the Chair reopens the public hearing for a limited and specific purpose.
• Listen to the Speakers. It is disconcerting to speakers to _have Council Members not look at them when they are speaking. It is fine to look down at documents or to make notes, but reading for a long period of time or gazing around the room gives the appearance of disinterest. Be aware of facial expressions, especially those that could be interpreted as smirking, disbelief, anger or boredom.
• Ask for clarification, but avoid debate and argument with the public.

Only the Chair - not individual Council Members -- can interrupt a speaker during a presentation. However, a Council Member can ask the Chair for a point of order if the speaker is off the topic or exhibits behavior or language the Council Member finds disturbing.

If speakers become flustered or defensive by Council questions, it is the responsibility of the Chair to calm and focus the speaker and to maintain the order and decorum of the meeting. Questions by Council Members to members of the public testifying should seek to clarify or expand information. It is never appropriate to belligerently challenge or belittle the speaker. Council Members' personal opinions or inclinations about upcoming votes should not be revealed until after the public hearing is closed.
• No personal attacks of any kind, under any circumstance. Council Members should be aware that their body language and tone of voice, as well as the words they use, can appear to be intimidating or aggressive. • Follow parliamentary procedure in conducting public meetings. The City Attorney serves as advisory parliamentarian for the City and is available to answer questions or interpret situations according the parliamentary procedures. Final rulings on parliamentary procedure are made by the Chair, subject to the appeal of the full Council. 9-5-02 Page 10 of 16
Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 135 of 151
May 19, 2026
In Unofficial Settings
• Make no promises on behalf of the Council. Council Members will frequently be asked to explain a Council action or to give their opinion about an issue as they meet and talk with constituents in the community.

It is appropriate to give a brief overview of City policy and to refer to City staff for further infom1ation. It is inappropriate to overtly or implicitly promise Council action, or to promise City staff will do something specific ( fix a pothole, remove a library book, plant new flowers in the median, etc.)
• Make no personal comments about other Council Members. It is acceptable to publicly disagree about an issue, but it is unacceptable to make derogatory comments about other Council Members, their opinions and actions.
• Remember that Yreka is a small town. Council Members are constantly being observed by the community every day that they serve in office.

Their behaviors and comments serve as models for proper deportment in the City. Honesty and respect for the dignity of each individual should be reflected in every word and action taken by Council Members, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is a serious and continuous responsibility.

Council Conduct with Other Public Agencies
• Be clear about representing the City or personal interests. If a Council Member appears before another governmental agency or organization to give a statement on an issue, the Council Member must clearly state:

1. If his or her statement reflects personal opinion or is the official stance of the City;

2. Whether this is the majority or minority opinion of the Council. If the Council Member is representing the City, the Council Member must support and advocate the official City position on an issue, not a personal viewpoint. If the Council Member is representing another organization whose position is different from the City, the Council Member should withdraw from voting on the issue if it significantly impacts or is detrimental to the City's interest.
9-5-02 Page 11 of 16
Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 136 of 151
May 19, 2026
Council Members should be clear about which organizations they represent and inform the Mayor and Council of their involvement. • Correspondence also should be equally clear about representation. City letterhead may be used when the Council Member is representing the City and the City's official position. A copy of official correspondence should be given to the City Clerk to be filed as a part of the permanent public record.

It is best that City letterhead not be used for correspondence of Council Members representing a personal point of view, or a dissenting point of view from an official Council position. However, should Council Members use City letterhead to express a personal opinion the official City position must be stated clearly so the reader understands the difference between the official City position and the minor viewpoint of the Council Member.

Council Conduct with Commissions and Committees
The City has established several Commissions and Committees as a means of gathering more community input. Citizens who serve on Commissions and Committees become more involved in government and serve as advisors to the City Council. They are a valuable resource to the City's leadership and should be treated with appreciation and respect.
• If attending a Commission or Committee meeting, be careful to only express personal opinions. Council Members may attend any Commission or Committee meeting, which are always open to any member of the public. However, they should be sensitive to the way their participation - especially if it is on behalf of an individual, business or developer -- could be viewed as unfairly affecting the process. Any public comments by a Council Member at a Commission or Committee meeting should be clearly made an individual opinion and not a representation of the feelings of the entire City Council. If the matter involves an issue that will ultimately be decided by the City Council or may be appealed to the Council, the Council Members participation may preclude their hearing the matter at the Council level. 9-5-02 Page 12 of 16
Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 137 of 151
May 19, 2026
• Limit contact with Commission and Committee members to questions of clarification. It is inappropriate for a Council Member to contact a Commission or Committee member to lobby on behalf of an individual, business, or developer. It is acceptable for Council Members to contact Commission or Committee members in order to clarify a position taken by the Commission or Committee.
• Remember that Commissions and Committees serve the community, not individual Council Members. The City Council appoints individuals to serve on Commissions and Committees, and it is the responsibility of Commissions and Committees to follow policy established by the Council. But Commission and Committee members do not report to individual Council Members, nor should Council Members feel they have the power or right to threaten Commission or Committee members with removal if they disagree about an issue. Appointment and reappointment to a Commission or Committee should be based on such criteria as expertise, ability to work with staff and the public, and commitment to fulfilling official duties. A Commission or Committee appointment should not be used as a political "reward." • Be respectful of diverse opinions. A primary role of the Commissions and Committees is to represent many points of view in the community and to provide the Council with advise based on a full spectrum of concerns and perspectives. Council Members may have a closer working relationship with some individuals serving on Commissions and Committees, but must be fair and respectful of all citizens serving on Commissions and Committees.
• Keep political support away from public forums. Commission and Committee members may offer political support to a Council Member, but not in a public forum while conducting official duties. Conversely, Council Members may support Commission and Committee members who are running for office, but not in an official forum in their capacity as a Council Member.
• Inappropriate behavior can lead to removal. Inappropriate behavior by a Commission or Committee member should be noted to the Mayor, and the Mayor should counsel the offending member. If inappropriate behavior continues, the Mayor should bring the situation to the attention 9-5-02 Page 13 of 16
Yreka City Council Agenda
May 19, 2026
Yreka City Council Agenda Page 138 of 151
May 19, 2026
of the Council and the individual is subject to removal from the Commission or Committee.

Council Conduct with the Media
Council Members are frequently contacted by the media for background and quotes.
• The best advice for dealing with the media is to never go "off the record". Most members of the media represent the highest levels of journalistic integrity and ethics, and can be trusted to keep their word.

But one bad experience can be catastrophic. Words that are not said cannot be quoted.
• The Mayor is the official spokesperson for City Council approved policies or positions on an issue. If an individual Council Member is contacted by the media, the Council Member should be clear about whether their comments represent the official City position or a personal viewpoint.
• Choose words carefully and cautiously. Comments taken out of context can cause problems. Be especially cautious about humor, sardonic asides, sarcasm, or word play. It is never appropriate to use personal slurs or swear words when talking with the media.

Sanctions
• Public Disruption
Members of the public who do not follow proper conduct after a warning in a public meeting may be barred from further participation at that meeting or removed from the Council Chambers.
• Inappropriate Staff Behavior
Council Members should refer to the City Manager any City staff or to the City Attorney any City Attorney's staff who do not follow proper conduct in their dealings with Council Members, other City staff, or the public.

City Council Members who intentionally and repeatedly do not follow proper conduct may be reprimanded or formally censured by the Council.
