The Honorable Monique Limón The Honorable Robert Rivas
Senate President pro Tempore Assembly Speaker
California State Senate California State Assembly
1021 O Street, Suite 8518 1021 O Street, Suite 8330
Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Senate Pro Tem Limon and Assembly Speaker Rivas,
On behalf of the City of Yreka, we are calling on you to reject efforts to limit public agency recovery from utility-caused wildfires in the Governor’s proposed wildfire liability reforms as prompted by the SB 254 Report.
This proposal will wrongly shift costs to taxpayers and force devastating consequences on public agencies and wildfire victims already struggling to rebuild their communities.
The proposal relies on the false hopes that public property, infrastructure and emergency response costs can be recovered from FEMA or insurance. Limiting public agency recovery will only shift costs to taxpayers and leave public agencies financially stranded – or even worse, bankrupt. We strongly oppose the following reforms and urge the Legislature to reject them outright from being included in any wildfire package that will advance this legislative session.
1. Limiting Public Property and Infrastructure Damages Imperils Public Agencies Tasked with Rebuilding their Communities
The proposal will have negligent utilities pay just pennies on the dollar to rebuild critical infrastructure and public facilities that are destroyed. Limiting such costs to the mere depreciated value of the public facility or infrastructure will impact the rebuilding of:
• Public facilities and buildings
• Water, sewer, roads, communication, and traffic signal infrastructure • Parks, schools, libraries, and fire stations
When a utility causes a wildfire, they are required to fully compensate for property damage. Public agencies cannot rebuild damaged infrastructure on recovery dollars that only cover the depreciated value of an asset. Rebuilding public facilities and infrastructure is not a luxury - it is an essential public service for homeowners, businesses, and communities to return home.
2. Limiting Recovery for Emergency Response and Mutual Aid Forces Public Agencies to Absorb Costs and Increase Financial Risk, Waiting Years For FEMA Reimbursement While Communities Struggle to Recover
The proposal prevents public agencies from recovering emergency response and mutual aid costs from the very utilities who cause these devastating wildfires and inappropriately suggest FEMA as the solution. Limiting emergency response cost recovery will be catastrophic for small jurisdictions and fracture our mutual aid system Yreka City Council Agenda
August 18, 2026
upon which the state and communities rely on. There is a federal obligation to pursue negligent parties per the Stafford Act. This will create ambiguity when negligent parties must meet that requirement and will jeopardize federal reimbursement. FEMA has strict rules on recoverability, and some events aren’t even eligible for FEMA reimbursement.
Since FEMA is a reimbursement model, funds must be spent upfront. Interpretations in FEMA change from Administration to Administration, creating uncertainty whether future relief will even be available for these incidents.
3. Eliminating Property Tax Losses Leaves Communities Financially Stranded Schools, cities, counties, and special districts rely on property taxes to fund basic needs in our communities. The proposal will financially strand public agencies by eliminating the ability to bring claims for lost property taxes. This has tremendous consequences for essential public services, including fire, police, social services programs, drinking water, public infrastructure, and drastically risks school closure.
There is no evidence in the SB 254 Report to suggest that public agency claims are unreasonable or unjustified. Public agency damages amounted to merely 4% of the total wildfire claims that utilities paid from 2017 to 2024. Public infrastructure, lost tax revenue, emergency response, and mutual aid are necessary and critical for local governments to function while struggling to rebuild their communities.
If public agencies cannot recover costs from negligent utilities, local taxpayers will pay more instead. The very survivors whose community burned will foot the bill which is NOT an equitable approach to socializing wildfire risk.
While we oppose these provisions from being in the wildfire package, we support the state’s efforts to strengthen community wildfire mitigation efforts.
We respectfully request the Legislature to protect public infrastructure, safeguard emergency response and our mutual aid system, and protect taxpayers from this utility bailout, and to reject the Governor’s proposal to limit public agency recovery from utility-caused wildfires.
Sincerely,
Mayor Colleen Baker City Manager, William Ibershof ICMA-CM cc: The Honorable Governor Gavin Newsom

The V700 captures 1080p Full HD video at 30 fps with a 130-degree horizontal field of view that accurately replicates an officer's natural sight in the field. The devices feature dual MEMS microphones for wind-noise reduction, a configurable pre-event buffer of up to 10 minutes, and a swappable battery supporting 12 hours of active recording.
• CommandCentral DEMS Plus: A secure, cloud-based platform offering unlimited storage per bodyworn camera. It is equipped with advanced AI Auto Transcription and AI-Assisted Redaction features to streamline workflows and reduce administrative burdens. • Compliance and Security: Our cloud storage platform is fully compliant with all applicable California data security and privacy laws, including the CCPA/CPRA, and holds FedRAMP and SOC 2 Type II certifications. A signed written attestation of compliance with all California statutes identified in Section 4 of this RFQ (Exhibit A) is included with this proposal as requested.
Motorola confirms we have reviewed and understand all elements of the RFQ.

7.1.4 Budget Narrative
Motorola Solutions has prepared a transparent, comprehensive budget that encompasses all required hardware, software, services, and support to successfully deploy the V700 Body-Worn Camera program for the Yreka Police Department over a five-year lifecycle. Our proposal utilizes a "Video-as-aService" (VaaS) subscription model to provide maximum value and Predictability.
1. Unit Cost per Body-Worn Camera (19 Primary Units). The primary deployment consists of nineteen (19) V700 Body-Worn Cameras intended for operational use. Instead of a high upfront capital expense, the hardware is provided as a 5-year subscription at $1,395.00 per unit for the term. This covers the high-definition physical camera units and an embedded 3-year hardware refresh cycle.
2. Cost for Accessories and Infrastructure. All 19 units are paired with a 5-Year Battery Subscription at $180.00 per unit. Additionally, three (3) 8-Slot Transfer Stations are provided for secure video offloading and charging. The hardware, subscription, and dedicated repair services for these stations are bundled at $1,566.00 each for the 5-year term.
3. Cloud DEMS Subscription Cost per Year (Years 1–5). The annual cloud storage platform and service fee is securely locked across a five-year timeline. The combined cost of CommandCentral DEMS Plus and Unlimited Storage equates to $1,800.00 per unit over 5 years. Broken down annually for the full fleet of 19 cameras, the recurring cost is firmly set at $6,840.00 per year (Years 1 through 5). Additionally, Responder Productivity Assist software is provided at no extra cost.
4. Storage Pricing Structure. Motorola Solutions utilizes a per-camera subscription structure that includes Unlimited Cloud Storage. This guarantees Yreka PD will never face variable data caps or sudden overage charges, completely shielding the department from unpredictable costs regardless of the volume of video data captured.
5. Implementation and Activation Fees. A one-time Mobile Video Deployment Services fee of $17,491.40 is applied to cover the direct configurations required to stand up the secure cloud tenant environment, map user permissions, establish the department's asset retention workflows, and provide full training.
6. Warranty & Hardware Support. Extended warranty coverage is built directly into the subscription at no additional line-item cost. All 19 cameras are covered by Motorola's Essential Service with Accidental Damage and Advanced Replacement. This guarantees priority component replacements for the full 5-year lifecycle of the fleet, completely removing the financial risk of broken hardware in the field.

Replacement Housing Policy
To: City of Yreka City Council
From: Alia Roca Lezra, Planning Manager
Date: August 18, 2026
Summary: California state law requires that jurisdictions implement a Replacement Housing Policy (Government Code Section 65583.2(g)(3)). This policy applies when any new development occurs on a site that is within a jurisdiction’s Site Inventory as identified in their most recently adopted Housing Element. The Site Inventory is a listing of sites that can realistically accommodate the development of the required number of affordable units laid out in the jurisdiction’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The purpose of the Replacement Housing Policy is to ensure that affordable units located on Site Inventory sites are not lost through new development, but are replaced.
Background: California state law requires local jurisdictions to implement a policy ensuring that lower-income housing units identified within the city housing element site inventory are not permanently lost during new development (Government Code Section 65583.2(g)(3)). Similarly, state law mandates the replacement of affordable units as a strict prerequisite for any developer seeking density bonus incentives or zoning concessions (Government Code Section 65915(c)(3)). To satisfy these state requirements, staff has developed a local policy that dictates how affordable units must be protected or replaced when a property is redeveloped.
The proposed policy applies to specific sites listed in the city housing element site inventory (Attachment 3) that currently contain deed-restricted affordable units, have had such units demolished or vacated within the past five years, or are actively occupied by lower-income households. Developers building on these designated properties will be legally conditioned to provide an equivalent number of affordable units with the same total number of bedrooms as the units being replaced. Rental replacement units must be secured by an affordability covenant for a minimum of 55 years, while for-sale units must be sold to qualifying households or transferred to a non-profit housing corporation.
Yreka City Council Agenda
August 18, 2026
To ensure transparency and protect future buyers, the policy requires these housing conditions and covenants to be recorded directly against the title report of the subject property. This measure alerts future property owners to the ongoing affordability obligations during real estate transactions.
General Plan & City Code Consistency: This policy written to satisfy Policy HE-4.4 of the City of Yreka’s 6th Cycle Housing Element: “To mitigate the loss of affordable housing units on inventory sites, the City shall immediately begin implementing replacement housing, when applicable, pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2(g)(3) and adopt a local policy. The replacement housing policy requires new housing developments to replace all affordable housing units lost due to new development.” The proposed policy satisfies this requirement.
Environmental Review: Staff reviewed the Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined that it is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it constitutes an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Any future development utilizing this policy will be subject to project-specific CEQA review as applicable.
Fiscal Impact: None.

Replacement Housing Policy
City of Yreka
July 7, 2026
Introduction
California state law, per Government Code Section 65583.2(g)(3), requires that jurisdictions implement a Replacement Housing Policy. This policy applies when any new development occurs on a site that is within a jurisdiction’s Site Inventory as identified in their most recently adopted Housing Element. The Site Inventory is a listing of sites that can realistically accommodate the development of the required number of affordable units laid out in the jurisdiction’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The purpose of the Replacement Housing Policy is to ensure that affordable units located on Site Inventory sites are not lost through new development, but are replaced.
Government Code Section 65915(c)(3) requires replacement of affordable units in order for an applicant to be eligible for a density bonus, or other entitlement incentives or concessions, as laid out in California Density Bonus Law (GC Section 65915).
The City of Yreka (the “City”) has established its own Replacement Housing Policy (the “Policy”) in order to satisfy the requirements of GC Sections 65583.2(g)(3) and 65915(c)(3), as described herein.
Definitions
The following definitions apply to this Policy:
Moderate Income Household: A household that earns 120% or less of the Area Median Income (Siskiyou County) as published by the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) annually.
Low or Lower Income Household: A household that earns 80% or less of the Area Median income (Siskiyou County) as published by HCD annually.
Very Low Income Households: A household that earns 50% or less of the Area Median Income (Siskiyou County) as published by HCD annually.
Development on Site Inventory Properties
New development (residential, non-residential, or mixed-use) on Site Inventory sites as identified in the most recently adopted City Housing Element (“Sites”) that meet the following conditions are required to replace all Low Income affordable units, or units occupied by Low Income Households, with units that are affordable to the same or lower income level as those that exist on the site. This replacement requirement will be a condition of any development on the site. Conditions to which the replacement requirement applies include any of the following:
1. Site Inventory sites that currently have residential uses and that are subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to Low or Very Low Income Households, or that are subject to any other form of rent or price control; Exhibit "A"
Yreka City Council Agenda
August 18, 2026
2. Site Inventory sites that within the past five years have had residential uses that have been vacated or demolished, and that are subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to Low or Very Low Income Households, or that are subject to any other form of rent or price control; or
3. Site Inventory sites that are currently occupied by Low or Very Low Income Households.
Application of State Density Bonus
The City applies California Density Bonus Law (GC 65915 et. al.) through Title 16, Chapter 16.78 of the Yreka Municipal Code. Government Code 65915(c)(3) establishes conditions under which applications will be eligible for density bonus incentives when involving development on residential sites. The City’s Policy as described below is intended to comply with State Density Bonus Law as outlined in GC 65915(c)(3).
An applicant for a density bonus, or other incentives or concessions as outlined in GC 65915 or Municipal Code Chapter 16.78, that does not replace units as described in the City’s Policy herein, will be ineligible if the housing development is proposed on property with any of the following conditions:
1. Includes a parcel or parcels on which rental dwellings are located;
2. Includes a parcel or parcels on which rental dwellings were located but have been vacated or demolished in the five-year period preceding the application, and that have been subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law, or any form of rent or price control through the City’s valid exercise of its police power, that restricts rents to levels affordable to Low or Very Low Income Households; or
3. Includes a parcel or parcels occupied by Lower or Very Low Income households.
An applicant that proposes housing development on property with any of the conditions listed above may be eligible for a density bonus, or other incentives or concessions as outlined in GC 65915 or Municipal Code Chapter 16.78, if replacement housing units meet the following conditions.
1. For housing development proposed on property that includes a parcel or parcels that are occupied at the date of application: Provide at least the same number of units of equivalent size at affordable housing cost to households in the same or lower income category as those households in occupancy. Equivalent unit size means that the replacement units contain at least the same total number of bedrooms as the units being replaced.
2. For housing development proposed on property that includes a parcel or parcels that are not occupied at the date of application: Provide at least the same number of units of equivalent size at affordable housing cost to households in the same or lower income category as the last households in occupancy. If the income category of the last household in occupancy is not known, provide lower income affordable units in the same proportion as the proportion of Lower Income renter Households to all renter households within the jurisdiction, as determined by most recently available data from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy database. Equivalent unit size means that the replacement units contain at least the same total number of bedrooms as the units being replaced.
Rental Replacement Units: If the proposed development consists of rental units, replacement units must be subject to a recorded affordability restriction for at least 55 years.
Yreka City Council Agenda
August 18, 2026
For-Sale Replacement Units: If the proposed development consists of for-sale units, replacement units must be initially sold to and occupied by a Very Low, Low, or Moderate Income Household, as required, and offered at an affordable housing cost as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5. If the unit is not purchased by an income-qualified person or family within 180 days after the issuance of the certificate of occupancy, the unit must be purchased by a qualified nonprofit housing corporation that meets the requirements of GC 65915(c)(2)(ii) pursuant to a recorded contract that satisfies all of the requirements specified in paragraph (10) of subdivision (a) of Section 402.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
Disclosure to Future Property Owners
The City’s policy must also consider how to provide disclosure for properties subject to replacement housing for future property owners. The housing policy shall be recorded with the subject property title reports so that future property owners are alerted to the policy during property transactions.

APPENDIX C: INVENTORY OF SITES
As discussed in section 4.3.6 of Appendix A, the City of Yreka’s regional housing needs allocation for the 6th cycle is two housing units, one low income unit and one very low income unit. APN 053-642-600 is designated to meet the City’s need, and details about the parcel are provided in Table C-1. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66583.2(c)(3), the City is using the default density of 15 dwelling units per acre that allows sites to be deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for lower income households.
APN 053-642-600 is 5.53 acres in size, and is located near the intersection of Juniper Drive and Montague Road.
The site is designated by the Yreka General Plan as High Density Residential (HRD), which has maximum allowable density of 16 dwelling units per acre. Consistent with the General Plan and the HRD land use designation, the entirety of the site is zoned and planned for multifamily development with a density range of one to 16 dwelling units per acre (R-3-16). At 100 percent buildout, the site’s full buildout is 89 units could be developed. Both water and sewer services are available at the parcel’s frontage. Dry utilities, i.e., electricity, internet, and phone, are available also at the parcel’s frontage. For the City’s 5th cycle housing element, the site was a designated inventory site. However, it was not a designated inventory site in City’s 4th cycle housing element.
To estimate the realistic capacity of APN 053-642-600, the City is using the Siskiyou Crossroads housing project applied for and approved in 2021 as a guide. Siskiyou Crossroads is a 50-unit multifamily development developed on a split zone parcel: R-3-12/M-1. The R-3-12 zone portion of the property is 4 acres, with the remaining 10 acres being zoned M-1 which only allows emergency shelters and does not allow any other residential uses. For the R3-12 portion of the property the buildout density of the Siskiyou Roads project is 13 dwelling units per acre. One hundred percent of the units are affordable to the target population of 60 percent or less of the area median income, with 24 of the units designated as permanent supportive housing. The Siskiyou Crossroads project indicates the City is capable of achieving 100 percent buildout and for the designated income category. However, it is noted the Siskiyou Crossroads property is County-owned. As government owned property, barriers to Exhibit “B” – 6th Cycle Housing Element Site Inventory Sheet Yreka City Council Agenda

acquisition and site control are significantly reduced. For privately owned property, like APN 053-0642-600, the property owner must be willing to sell and the purchase price is likely to include the owner’s estimated return on investment.
The City’s regulatory requirement that multifamily developments configured as more than fourplexes must first secure a CUP is a potentially limiting factor for a housing development achieving the full buildout density. A discount of 30 percent has been applied to account for the potential limits. This adjustment results in a realistic capacity of 62 units which is still more than adequate for the City to meet its RHNA obligation for two lower income units during the 6thc cycle planning period.
1. AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING ANALYSIS
OF SITES INVENTORY
APN 053-642-600, the site identified in the City’s inventory, was one of 19 sites evaluated in 2019 by Housing Tools for feasibility for a permanent supportive housing development and was supported by No Place Like Home (NPLH) program funding. The target population for permanent supportive housing aligns with the income of very low income households. The feasibility evaluation considered and ranked potential for neighborhood integration using the measures listed below. These four measures are indicators for AFFH:
• What is the site’s proximity to public transportation and services (grocery stores, parks, schools, libraries, hospitals and clinics, pharmacies)?
• How walkable is the neighborhood?
• Are adjacent land uses compatible with affordable housing? • How likely is it that the development would receive neighborhood opposition? The above attributes were verified by conducting site visits, and interviewing local government officials and a local real estate professional. APN 053-652-600 is ranked in the Tier 2, receiving 10 points (out of a possible 12).
For the neighborhood integration subcategory, the site scored 2 points (out of a possible 3). The site’s attributes that resulted in the score are:
Pros: The site is within 1 mile of Grocery Outlet, a bus stop serviced by five bus lines, Newton Park, Ringe Park, Yreka High School, and Yreka Immediate Care Clinic.
Cons: The site is not as well integrated into the community and as pedestrian-friendly as many of the other sites analyzed
The Housing Tools study also noted that the site is adjacent to the Juniper Apartment development, which is an affordable rental complex. Otherwise, the surrounding adjacent land is vacant. Despite being surrounded by vacant land, the property is close to a number of services by way of Montague Road to West Yreka, including Grocery Outlet, a bus stop serviced by five bus lines, two parks and Yreka High School.
The site is located in a Low Resource area, however, according to the 2021 TCAC Opportunity Areas composite mapping. The Housing Element includes a number of programs that directly aim to improve opportunities in the higher resource areas of the City. The programs to increase the variety of housing types, to support and encourage property owners to consider ADU and SB 9 (2021) housing development, seek federal and state funding for enable lower income households to make repairs to their homes to improve the conditions of to support a that for housing development.
