CalRecycle Illegal Disposal Site
Abatement Grant Program
To: City Council
From: Juliana Lucchesi, AICP, Assistant City Manager
Attachments: 1. City Council Resolution No. 2026-30 “A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Yreka Authorizing Submittal Of An Individual Grant Application For The Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program”
Recommended Action
Motion to approve City Council Resolution No. 2026-30 “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Yreka Authorizing Submittal of An Individual Grant Application for the Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program” Summary:

The City of Yreka Staff prepared an application to the CalRecycle Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program to remediate the hazardous waste left by an illegal encampment at four City-owned parcels on Campus Drive: 062-161-140, 062-161-170, 062-161-160, and 062-161-130. The City desires to apply for CalRecycle's Program requesting grant funds in the amount of $242,727.00 to contract with qualified professional environmental cleanup services to remediate the site.

Background:

The purpose of the CalRecycle Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program is to provide financial assistance in the form of a reimbursement grant up to $500,000 to help public entities accelerate the pace of cleanup and restoration of sites. Eligible projects include solid waste cleanup project sites where cleanup is needed to protect public health and safety or the environment within the applicant’s jurisdiction.

Project Description:

The proposed project is broken up into three phrases:

Setup and Preparation: The project begins with signing the contract with the cleanup company, creating a safety plan, setting up work areas across the 10-acre site, and bringing in equipment and workers.

Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 35 of 92 ends

Cleanup and Waste Removal: A professional hazmat team will clean the entire site following safety rules. They will separate different types of waste including medical sharps, and batteries, then sort materials for recycling such as metals, plastics, and cardboard. Hazardous waste will be sent to licensed disposal facilities with proper tracking, while remaining trash goes to a permitted landfill.

Final Cleaning and Paperwork The site will be disinfected with EPAapproved cleaning agents to meet public health standards.

Environmental Review:

The proposed clean-up activity has been evaluated for environmental compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and found to be exempt pursuant to a Class 30 “Minor Actions to Prevent, Stabilize, Mitigate or Eliminate the Release of Threat of Release of Hazardous Waste or Hazardous Substances” Categorical Exemption, Section 15330 of the CEQA Guidelines.

The Class 30 Categorical Exemption allows for minor clean-up activities taken to prevent, minimize, stabilize, mitigate, or eliminate the release […] of hazardous substances which are small or medium in removal actions costing $1 million or less.

The removal of hazardous waste or substances that are taken to a lawfully permitted destination qualifies under this exemption. The application of soil sanitizing solution is also a qualifying action as long as there is no soil disturbance which causes dust to be released.

Fiscal Impact:

The CalRecycle Grant does not require a match of funds for the project. The CalRecycle Grant awards additional points to applicants that set aside at least $15,000 in-kind services. The proposed $15,000 in-kind contribution can be achieved through staff time to manage the project and complete grant reporting, signage on the property, and maintenance of the fencing around the site.

The City has investigated alternative federal and state cleanup programs. EPA Superfund does not apply as the site does not meet National Priorities List criteria.

State Department of Toxic Substances Control programs focus on industrial contamination rather than encampment-related waste. FEMA Hazard Mitigation grants address disaster-related hazards rather than solid waste cleanup.

Community Development Block Grant Program Income (CDBG PI) cannot be used for encampment clean-up activities. CalRecycle's Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program is the only appropriate funding source for this type of municipal solid waste and biohazard contamination on public lands.

Authorization to Apply to the
CalRecycle Rubberized Chip Seal
Grant Program
To: City Council
From: Juliana Lucchesi AICP, Assistant City Manager
Attachments: 1. City Council Resolution 2026-31 “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Yreka Authorizing Submittal of an Individual Grant Application For Rubberized Pavement Grant Program
Recommended Actions:

Motion to Approve Resolution 2026-31 of The City Council of the City of Yreka Authorizing Submittal of an Individual Grant Application For Rubberized Pavement Grant Program”
Summary:

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) administers a program to provide opportunities to divert waste tires from landfill disposal, prevent illegal tire dumping, and promote markets for recycled-content tire products. The Rubberized Pavement Grant Program is designed to promote markets that use recycled-content surfacing products derived only from California-generated waste tires. It is aimed at encouraging first-time or limited users of rubberized pavement in two project types – Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) Hot-Mix and Rubberized Chip Seal (RCS).

City Staff propose to apply for funding through this program to fund the planned Rubberized Chip Seal Project planned for implementation in early 2027. This project is in the 2026 work plan.

Fiscal Impact:

The City has allocated funding to the Rubberized Chip Seal Project from General Fund revenues for the fiscal year 2026-2027. Application to this program would offset $64,000.00 to the General Fund, thus maintaining revenues for other projects. The requested amount is a fixed rate per square yard.

Historically, the first City Council meeting of the year has been canceled due to its proximity to the holidays and limited staff availability. Additionally, the February 16, July 6, and September 7, 2027, meetings fall on Tuesdays following three-day holiday weekends—Presidents Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day. The December 21, 2027, City Council meeting also falls during the week of Christmas.

Fiscal Impact:

None
Recommendation and Requested Action:

Motion to Approve Resolution 2026-32 of the City Council of the City of Yreka Adopting the 2027 Meeting Calendar for Regular City Council Meetings.

Comprehensive Fee Schedule and Adopt the Finding that the Project is Statutorily Exempt from CEQA

3. Motion to approve Resolution 2026-33 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Yreka Adopting an Updated Comprehensive Fee Schedule and Adopt the Finding that the Project is Statutorily Exempt from CEQA Summary:

City Staff prepared an update Master Fee Schedule for the 2027 Calendar Year.

The Master Fee Schedule is a finance document that outlines the necessary fees for city services to recover costs to provide those services. The fees are calculated through time averages for processing and the applicable staff hourly rate.

Background:

The City of Yreka prepares and charges applicants various fees and deposits for discretionary and policy applications. Fees related to discretionary actions are calculated based on the amount of time that it takes to process the application to completion, properly file and record documentation, issue all necessary public hearing materials, and report to various state agencies depending on the action.

Some fees are rounded to eliminate cents.

It has become increasingly important for local governments to be able to recover certain operating expenses through the collection of user fees. A user fee, or Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 42 of 92 ends

service fee, is a charge imposed by an agency on individuals and organizations for services that are requested by and rendered for specific benefit of the individual or organization.

User fees in California must conform to the statutory requirements of the California Constitution and the California Code of Regulations, including Government Code Section 66014. By law, local governments can levy fees for the services that it provides when the decision to utilize said services is voluntary, and the fees charged are reasonably related to the cost of providing those services. However, user fees may not exceed the reasonable costs of services for which they are collected unless the excess fees are approved by a two-thirds vote of the electorate.

The City of Yreka imposes user fees for the planning, building, public works, fire, animal control, and city clerk services that it provides, with the majority of these fees updated annually. To avoid significant increases in the future to address staff hourly rate changes and inflation, it is recommended to update the fees on an annual basis to reflect staff hourly rate changes, inflation, and account for efficiencies in permitting to reduce the amount of time to process applications thus reducing the cost of the applications in some circumstances.

Policy Considerations
The utilization of user fees by local governments to finance certain public services that primarily benefit the individual user is common and considered best practice in the local government industry. User fees apply to those individual and organizations that voluntarily consume services or use public facilities. User fees are favored because they create additional revenues to offset costs and can lead to more efficient utilization of resources.

While state law stipulates that user fees cannot exceed the reasonable cost of providing services, the City of Yreka may seek to recover as much of the direct and indirect costs associated with providing services as is feasible. Further, city policy may dictate which costs should be recovered and to what extent fees should offset the cost of providing services.

Spreading a portion of overhead costs to fees is a common practice among government agencies, assuming the amount and the allocation method are fair and reasonable. Arguably, certain overhead costs are necessary for the support and function of city services provided by the city. Without administrative support and supplies, city staff could not effectively service individuals within the community.

Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 43 of 92 ends

With regulatory changes and changes to city staff, the costs associated with the provision of services will vary. Because of these inherent changes, it is important that the city implement a fee schedule that can easily be updated to reflect changes as they occur. This is a critical element of any fee schedule. Flexibility and periodic review will ensure the city is able to maintain fees that are based on the current and reasonable costs of providing services to its customers.

Administrative Costs
The majority of fees associated with administrative costs, such as printing services, and statutory fees remain at the same level as the current schedule, with one exception: the large-format plan printing fee (24" x 36") increases from $2.00 to $3.00 per page, a 50% increase, to better reflect the current cost of plotter paper and toner for large-format prints.

Planning Permit Fees
The fees tied to the Development Work Order deposit, including the Administrative Parcel Split, Tentative Parcel Maps (four or fewer lots and five or more lots), Annexations, Conditional Use Permits, Site Plan Reviews, General Plan Text and Map Amendments, Zoning Text Amendments, Variances, and Major Exterior Alterations, decreased from $1,539.51 to $1,453.22 (approximately 5.6%), reflecting updated hourly billing rates for the staff positions involved in processing these applications, as detailed in the Development Cost Breakdown worksheet (Attachment 2). The reduction is associated with reduction in review times.

The fee schedule also corrects the title of the “Certificate of Compliance” line item, which previously and inaccurately read “Conditional Certificate of Compliance/Certificate of Compliance.” This is a title correction only and does not reflect a change in fee amount.

Building Permit Fees
The California Building Code requires building permits to follow a valuation and per fixture fee payment process. Building permit fees do not follow the same Government Code as the other City Departments. Building code fees are calculated in two ways: Construction Cost Index (CCI) or proportional to the cost of building. Most cities rely on CCI to respond reasonably to economic factors such as recession and inflation. Factor the cost of building permits to the cost of building require a specific nexus analysis to justify the costs and have been found to over inflate building permit fees. City Staff recommend and have prepared the proposed fees based on CCI.

Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 44 of 92 ends

The Building fee decrease follows the CCI for January 2026 which was -0.3%, meaning 2027 Building fees will be lower than last year’s. Consistent with this approach, the Building Valuation Table used to calculate Plan Check and Building Permit Fees (Attachment 2b) has also been adjusted by -0.3% for the 2027-2028 cycle.

The Reinstate of Building Permit fee has also been updated so that the fee charged is the greater of 10% of the Building Permit Fee or a $150.00 minimum, whichever is more — the two amounts are not combined. This ensures that reinstatement of lower-valuation permits still recovers the City’s fixed staff costs to re-familiarize with the project and re-notice permit holders, which the prior percentage-only fee did not reliably cover on smaller permits.

The fee schedule also corrects the naming of the Solar Commercial and Solar Residential line items, which previously and inaccurately read “Solar Commercial Deposit” and “Solar Residential Deposit.” These are flat, valuation-based fees, not deposits reconciled against actual staff time; the amounts are unchanged, and this is a title correction only.

Fire Department Fees
Consistent with the CCI-based methodology used for Building Department fees, Fire Department fees (including the Fire & Life Plan Check and Inspection schedule, sprinkler and alarm inspection fees, and annual fire safety inspection fees) were also adjusted by -0.3% for the 2027-2028 cycle, following the same January 2027 CCI figure. This is consistent with how Fire Department fees were adjusted in the prior fee schedule cycle.

Dog License Fees
City Council adopted Resolution CCR-2022-42 that set a five-year rate schedule for dog fees. Consistent with that previously adopted schedule, the Altered Dog License fee increases from $43.00 to $45.00 and the Unaltered Dog License fee increases from $129.00 to $135.00 this cycle. This update does not amend or deviate from the five-year schedule set by CCR-2022-42.

Community Center/Theater/Stage/Park Fees
City Council adopted Resolution CCR-2024-44 that established rental rates for the center and theatre. There is a rate increase for the Technician from $28 an hour to $30 an hour reflecting a cost of living increase for the position.

Environmental Review:

The proposed action has been determined to meet the guidelines for a statutory exemption pursuant to Section 15273(a)(1) “Rates, Tolls, Fares, and Charges” of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The establishment, modification, structuring, and approval of rates or other charges by public agencies are exempt from CEQA under this section. The possible adoption of the proposed master fee schedule would not result in a project that would directly or indirectly impact the environment.

Outside Agency and Public Review:

The city noticed a public hearing regarding the proposed fee schedule pursuant to Government Code Section 6062(a), which requires that notice be published in the newspaper for a minimum of 15 days ahead of the public hearing.

Government Code Section 66016 additionally requires that notice be mailed at least 14 days prior to the hearing to any interested party who has filed a written request for such notice. Staff confirmed both the 15-day published notice and the 14-day mailed notice, where applicable, were satisfied ahead of this hearing.

CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2026-33

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YREKA ADOPTING AN

UPDATED COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE AND ADOPTING THE FINDING

THAT THE PROJECT IS STATUTORILY EXEMPT FROM CEQA
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Yreka (the “City”) is empowered to impose reasonable fees, rates, and charges for municipal services. California Government Code Section 66000 et seq. authorizes public agencies to adopt fees for municipal services, provided such fees do not exceed the cost to the agency for providing the services. Periodically, the City of Yreka City Council reviews its fees, rates, and charges to determine whether the fees and charges are reasonably related to the cost of the regulation, services, or product provided; and to ensure that the City collects all costs reasonably borne by the City or, at a minimum, collects a substantial portion of the actual costs of the services and goods provided by the City; and WHEREAS, in connection with such review, the City Staff have developed a cost analysis of the time and rates associated with reviewing, processing, and implementing various services and goods provided by the City and had a sufficient opportunity to test and study whether the fees accurately reflect the costs reasonably borne by the City in providing City regulations, services, and products. Based upon the analysis in the accompanying staff report and its attachments, which are hereby incorporated by this reference, certain fees and charges no longer cover the actual costs of the goods and services provided by the City; and
WHEREAS, based on the analysis of the current fees, rates, and charges, City Staff is now recommending the fees, charges, and rates associated with Planning Department services, Fire Department services, Community Theater services, Community Building services, Building Department services and evaluations, and Animal Control services be adjusted to ensure that the fees, rates, and charges accurately reflect the costs reasonably borne by the City; and WHEREAS, the City Council continues to comply with both the letter and the spirit of the California Constitution and intends to limit the growth of taxes and expenses to the City’s General Fund, by shifting, where possible, the burden of special regulatory programs and services and products to applicants and the recipients of the benefits thereof while ensuring that those shifted costs do not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the program, service, or product; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish policy of recovering the full costs reasonably borne of providing special services and programs of a voluntary and limited nature, and regulatory services deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, such that general taxes are not diverted from general services of a broad nature and thereby utilized to subsidize unfairly and inequitably such special services; and
WHEREAS, notice of public hearing has been given pursuant to Government Code Section 6062a, and the required public hearing was held September 15, 2026.

Resolution of Intention to form an Enhanced
Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) and
establish the Yreka EIFD Public Finance
Authority
To: City Council
From: William Ibershof, ICMA-CM, City Manager
Author: Joseph Dieguez, Senior Vice President, Kosmont Companies Attachments: 1. Resolution 2026-34, declaring its intention to establish the Yreka Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) and establishing the Yreka EIFD Public Financing Authority (PFA) Recommended Actions:

Adopt Resolution 2026-34, declaring its intention to establish the Yreka Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) and establishing the Yreka EIFD Public Financing Authority (PFA)
Summary:

As a result of the elimination of redevelopment agencies in California, cities and counties lost a tax increment financing (TIF) tool to invest in public facilities supporting the development of communities. In 2014, SB 628 created a new tax increment financing tool called the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD). The original legislation has been amended to modify the EIFD formation procedural requirements and requirements to issuebondsto finance infrastructure.

STATEMENT OF FACTS
EIFDs aid cities in funding public facilities and other public investments to foster future development and increase property values. By capturing tax increment revenue generated within the district as new development occurs and property values increase over time, similar to a redevelopment project area, a portion of tax increment revenue is redirected from participating taxing entities to the EIFD.

Importantly, the establishment of EIFDs does not increase property taxes or any other taxes for landowners within or outside the EIFD boundaries.

Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 58 of 92 ends

The following chart illustrates how tax TIF captures that new revenue from new development into the EIFD (note these dollars are for illustrative purposes only):

The City has been evaluating the use of an EIFD to facilitate economic development in the Phillippe industrial area, Four Corners Gateway area, South Yreka commercial area, and Central Yreka area via investment into critical infrastructure. To date, staff and consultant Kosmont Companies have prepared detailed analysis and conducted initial outreach to the County of Siskiyou (“County”) regarding potential partnership in an EIFD.

ANALYSIS
Adoption of the City Council’s Resolution of Intention (Attachment 1) provides for the following:

1. Preliminary boundaries of the EIFD. The proposed EIFD boundaries are noted in color in Exhibit A of the Resolution of Intention. Though the exact boundaries of the EIFD are subject to further review and refinement as the formation process continues, the current boundary totals approximately 636 acres (approximately 10% of the City).

2. The public facilities and development proposed to be financed by the EIFD. The activities listed under the Resolution of Intention include all eligible activities under the EIFD legislation and are listed in Exhibit B to the Resolution of Intention (more specific projects will be delineated in the required Infrastructure Financing Plan prior to district formation).

Discussions so far at the staff level have identified the following examples of potential projects to be funded:

Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 59 of 92 ends

• Water and sewer infrastructure (e.g., lift station(s), piping, main upsizing)
• Roadway / circulation improvements.

3. Use of Incremental Tax Revenue. The Resolution of Intention anticipates that a portion (not all) of the City’s future property tax increment revenue generated within the EIFD will be allocated to the EIFD. The exact amounts will be determined in future resolutions adopted by the City Council. The County could additionally choose to participate in the EIFD, in which case, a portion of the County’s property tax increment revenue would also be allocated to the EIFD.

4. Establishes a Public Financing Authority to serve as the governing board of the EIFD. In a scenario where the City moves forward with an EIFD without the County as a partner, the Public Finance Authority (PFA) membership would be three members of the City Council and two members of the public appointed by the City Council (to be appointed at a future date).

In the scenario of County participation in the EIFD, the PFA membership would be proposed as two members of the City Council, one County Supervisor, one member of the public appointed by the City Council (to be appointed at a future date), and one member of the public appointed by the County Board of Supervisors. In any scenario of taxing entity partnership, EIFD law requires that the majority of the PFA are either City Councilmembers or County Supervisors, and there must be at least two members of the public on the PFA. An alternate PFA board member will also be appointed to represent the City Council in the absence of a regular member.

5. Sets a time and place for the first public hearing on the EIFD to be conducted by the Public Financing Authority. The first public hearing is tentatively scheduled for March 16, 2027, at 5:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 701 4th Street, Yreka, CA 96097.

Approval of the Resolution of Intention and appointments to the PFA begin a series of activities that will take place over the next several months, primarily by the PFA Board. The following schedule outlines the various key tasks and milestones in the formation process. As the following proposed schedule indicates, the final City Council approvals would be expected to follow later in calendar year 2026.

The IFP referenced in the timeline above becomes the roadmap for the work to be accomplished by the EIFD. The IFP will analyze the tax increment anticipated to be generated by the properties in the EIFD boundary, consider the cost of various infrastructure options to be considered for investment, evaluate the bonding capacity created by the tax increment generated, estimated general fund fiscal impacts, and provide a plan for how the EIFD will capture tax increment to fund infrastructure investments. The IFP contents would be provided in draft format to the public, PFA, and City Council in accordance with the schedule above.

Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 61 of 92 ends

Public information is an important part of the EIFD formation process. A web page would be developed that would serve as a resource to interested stakeholders throughout the formation process. Landowners and residents within the EIFD boundaries would also receive mailed notifications of public meetings and hearings throughout the formation process, and public hearings would additionally be advertised via local newspaper. In the event of a majority protest by property owners or residents within the boundaries, the formation proceedings would be discontinued.

CEQA REVIEW
The City Council’s adoption of the Resolution of Intention and establishment of the PFA are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as they are actions solely related to the creation of a government funding mechanism and the administrative or organizational activities of the City. Therefore, these actions do not constitute a “project” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378(b)(4) and 15378(b)(5). Neither of these actions could result in a physical change in the environment because the City has not committed itself to any specific project(s) that could be funded by the EIFD. As a separate and independent ground, these actions are exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that they will have a significant effect on the environment.

However, future actions (such as the approval of infrastructure improvements using funding from the EIFD) will be subject to environmental review in accordance with CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact for establishing the Yreka EIFD or PFA. If ultimately established, the EIFD would create the opportunity to use tax increment financing to fund targeted infrastructure investments in the City. Further information regarding fiscal impact will be analyzed as part of the development of the IFP, which will be presented to the PFA and City Council as noted in the timeline above.

WHEREAS, this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) as an action solely related to financing and is not in-and-of itself a “project” (pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378) since it does not result in a physical change in the environment because the City has not committed itself to fund any specific projects through the EIFD. However, future actions (such as the funding and/or approval of infrastructure improvements using funding from the EIFD) will be subject to environmental review in accordance with CEQA.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YREKA HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The City Council of the City of Yreka proposes and intends to cause the establishment of an EIFD under the provisions of the EIFD Law.

Section 2. The name proposed for the EIFD shall be the “Yreka Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District.”
Section 3. The proposed boundaries of the EIFD are as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto, which are preliminarily approved and on file in the office of the City Clerk and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 4. The types of public facilities and development proposed to be financed or assisted by the EIFD pursuant to the EIFD Law are those listed on Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 5. The City Council hereby finds that the EIFD is necessary for the area within the boundaries of the EIFD and the City. The City Council's stated goals for the EIFD are to create a means by which to assist in the provision of public facilities or other specified projects of communitywide significance that provide significant benefits to, promote economic development of, and enhance quality of life within, the boundaries of the EIFD or the surrounding community.

Section 6. The City Council hereby declares that, pursuant to the EIFD Law and if approved by resolution pursuant to Government Code Section 53398.68, incremental property tax revenue from the City of Yreka and some or all other affected taxing entities within the EIFD may be used to finance the activities described in Section 4 and listed on Exhibit B. The incremental property tax financing will be described in an IFP to be prepared for approval by the PFA, the City Council, and the legislative bodies of all participating taxing entities under EIFD Law.

Section 7. The City or County of Siskiyou may allocate tax revenues derived from local sales and use taxes imposed pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law (Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code) or transactions and use taxes imposed in accordance with the Transactions and Use Tax Law (Part 1.6 (commencing with Section 7251) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code) to the EIFD pursuant to Government Code Section 53398.75.5, if applicable.

For example, if the County of Siskiyou (“County”) agrees to participate as a taxing entity and the participating taxing entities consist of the City and the County, then the PFA membership shall be modified to be two members of the City Council, one member of the County Board of Supervisors (“Board of Supervisors”), one member of the public appointed by the City Council, and one member of the public appointed by the Board of Supervisors.

Members shall serve at the pleasure of their respective appointing legislative bodies and shall serve until their successor assumes office.

C. The legislative body of each participating taxing entity may appoint one of its members to be an alternate member of the PFA board who may serve and vote in place of a member who is absent or disqualifies themselves from participating in a meeting of the PFA.

D. The members are subject to compliance with the EIFD Law and all applicable ethics laws, including Article 2.4 (commencing with Section 53234) of Chapter 2 of the Government Code.

EIFD and state the day, hour, and place, when and where any persons having any objections to the proposed IFP, or the regularity of any of the prior proceedings, may appear before the PFA and object to the adoption of the proposed IFP.

Section 10. The City of Yreka did not have an operational Redevelopment Agency as defined in Section 33003 of the Health and Safety Code and is thus exempt from EIFD prerequisites outlined in Government Code Section 53398.54.

Section 11. This Resolution in no way obligates the PFA to establish any EIFD.

Assessor’s Parcel Number 053-352-120-000
To: City Council
From: Juliana Lucchesi, AICP, Assistant City Manager
Attachments: 1. City of Yreka Compliance Agreement – 400 W. Miner Street, 402 W. Miner Street, and 103 N. Oregon Street, Yreka, California 96097, Assessor’s Parcel Number 053-352-120-000
Recommended Actions:

Motion to Authorize the City Manager, or his designee to enter into a Code Compliance Agreement for 400 W. Miner Street, 402 W. Miner Street, and 103 N. Oregon Street, Yreka, California 96097, Assessor’s Parcel Number 053-352-120-000.

Parties to the Agreement:

Seller: Valentinjos LLC
1514 Village Way
Mt. Shasta, CA 96067
Buyer: Siskiyou County Job Council
412 W Miner Street
Yreka, CA 96097
Summary:

The City of Yreka Code Enforcement Department began enforcement actions on the structures located at 400 W Miner, 402 W Miner, and 103 N Oregon, collectively referred to as 400 W Miner St related to complaints regarding substandard housing conditions, an unpermitted housing unit in 103 N Oregon, and nuisance violations such as broken windows.

In July of 2025, a vacate order was issued for the properties due to unpermitted building work which created an unsafe living environment. The vacate order required the legal and illegal housing units to vacate until the safety issues are resolved. Shortly after, the City issued an administrative citation for numerous violations consisting of unpermitted building work and nuisance conditions of the Yreka City Council Agenda

buildings. The code violations have not been corrected, and fines continue to accumulate with the costs of enforcement actions.

The City was approached by Siskiyou County Job Council with interest in purchasing the building from the property owner. Siskiyou County Jobs Council was informed of the enforcement actions taken to date and met with the City regarding what steps needed to be taken to correct the violations and avoid the accumulating fines. The City in coordination with the buyer and seller drafted the attached compliance agreement to ensure the new owner will address the code violations. The compliance agreement outlines the present violations, compliance actions and timing for those actions, and penalties if the violations are not corrected in a timely manner. This form of compliance agreement is standard for complex code cases such as this.

Proposed Compliance:

Within the compliance agreement is a twenty-four-month timeline of action required to bring the property into compliance and avoid the fines applied to this property. There are a number of points within the twenty-four months where milestones like building permit application submission, completion of demolition and construction work, and inspections are required to be met to ensure the project is progressing in a timely manner.

If the Buyer completes all actions required in the timeframe, then the accumulating fines would be waived. The compliance agreement does not exempt the Buyer from paying all necessary building and planning fees to facilitate the property coming into compliance.

If the Buyer does not correct the code violations in the twenty-four month period then the fines would be applied, and the City would seek cost reimbursements for attorney and staff time associated with this case.

Project Location:

The subject property is located on the northwest corner of Oregon Street and Miner Street. The three street addresses are associated with one parcel; 053-352- 120-000.

Environmental Review:

The action of entering into a compliance agreement is not considered a “Project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A project under CEQA is defined as a discretionary action that could foreseeably result in a direct or indirect impact on the environment.

Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 71 of 92 ends

The agreement does compel the Buyer to complete certain actions that could be considered a “Project” under CEQA. The prescribed compliance actions include demolition of 103 N Oregon Street due to the deteriorating nature of the building and improvement of 400 and 402 W Miner Street. The demolition of 103 N Oregon will require environmental analysis to determine the presence of hazardous materials such as lead and asbestos that should be mitigated during demolition.

The property is located within the City of Yreka Historic District which requires additional permitting for demolition of buildings within the district. During that application process CEQA evaluation will be conducted to understand if an exemption is warranted or additional study is needed.

In consultation with Siskiyou Job Council, they have committed to preparing an environmental analysis of the buildings including historic preservation assessments prior to applying for building permits.

Recommendation:

Staff recommend entering into the compliance agreement. Continuing traditional enforcement (abatement warrants, fines, and liens) would cost the City more, isn't guaranteed to be reimbursed, and would leave the property burdened with debt that could scare off future buyers willing to restore it. The Seller has not been a reliable partner in resolving the violations, making a negotiated path with a new owner the more practical option.

The agreement brings a highly visible, historic downtown property back into full use: second-floor housing and first-floor commercial space. Both matter for Yreka right now, new downtown housing directly addresses the City's housing shortage and brings more people into the downtown area, while a reoccupied commercial space brings a new business that can draw customers downtown.

CITY OF YREKA

COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT

PARTIES
This Compliance Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Valtinjos, LLC (“Owner”), the Siskiyou County Job Council (“Buyer”), and the CITY OF YREKA (“City”).

Owner, Buyer, and the City are sometimes referred to in this Agreement individually as “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” This Agreement is entered into as of June ____, 2026 (“Effective Date”) simultaneously with that certain Commercial Real Property Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions between Owner and Buyer for the purchase and sale of the Nuisance Property.

RECITALS

1. The parcel of real property is located at: 400 W. Miner Street, 402 W. Miner Street, and 103 N. Oregon Street, Yreka, California 96097, Assessor’s Parcel Number 053-352-120-000 (“Nuisance Property”). Title to the Nuisance Property is vested in Owner pursuant to a Grant Deed recorded in the County of Siskiyou on July 26, 2018, as document number 2018-0005875-

00. 2. The Nuisance Property contains numerous violations of State and local laws, including but not limited to, the Health and Safety Code (“H&S”), the California Building Standards Code (“CBSC”), the California Building Code (“CBC”), the California Fire Code (“CFC”), the California Electrical Code (“CEC”), the California Plumbing Code (“CPC”), the California Mechanical Code (“CMC”), the California Residential Code (“CRC”), and the Yreka Municipal Code (“YMC”). Such violations are a public nuisance and pose a substantial danger to the health and safety of occupants, neighbors, emergency responders, and the public.

3. The Nuisance Property has been a focus of code enforcement efforts since at least September 2021. On July 15, 2025, a Vacate Order was issued to the Owner and posted on the Nuisance Property, pursuant to YMC section 11.01.030, ordering the occupants to vacate the Nuisance Property immediately due to the violations of law and nuisance conditions (“Vacate Order”). On August 4, 2025, the City issued an administrative citation (“Administrative Citation”) pursuant to YMC section 1.14.020 to all known interested parties, detailing the existing violations on the Nuisance Property and the corrections to be made to remediate those violations.

The Administrative Citation was served on all interested parties and gave them 60 days to bring the Nuisance Property into compliance with all applicable State and local laws—by October 3, 2025. A true and correct copy of the Administrative Citation is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

4. Owner acknowledges receipt of the Administrative Citation and agrees that the Nuisance Property contains violations of law that are public nuisances and pose a substantial danger to the health and safety of the residents and the public as reflected in the Administrative Citation.

5. The City has determined that the Nuisance Property remains in violation of State and local laws and that the violations identified in the Administrative Citation still exist and have not been fully corrected and the Nuisance Property remains in violation of the law. These violations maintained on, in, or around the Nuisance Property present a public nuisance, being injurious to Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 73 of 92 ends

health, indecent and offensive to the senses, and an obstruction to the free use of property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life and property. The violations also make the Nuisance Property a public nuisance since they affect at the same time the entire community, the neighborhood, and a considerable number of persons.

6. Owner wishes to ensure that the violations of law are remediated and intends to do so through sale of the Nuisance Property to Buyer.

7. Buyer acknowledges the violations of State and local laws identified in the Administrative Citation. Buyer takes the Nuisance Property freely with full knowledge of the ongoing nuisance conditions. Buyer warrants that it intends to cure the violations and bring the Nuisance Property into full compliance with all applicable laws under the terms of this Agreement.

Buyer intends and desires to bring the Nuisance Property into full compliance with the H&S, the CBSC, the CBC, the CFC, the CEC, the CPC, the CMC, the CRC, the YMC, and all other applicable State and local laws, including addressing all violations identified in the Administrative Citation.

8. The City agrees, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to afford Buyer additional time within which to comply.

9. This Agreement is intended to resolve the outstanding issues and violations of law on the Nuisance Property by: facilitating Owner’s sale of the Nuisance Property to Buyer; providing deadlines by which all of the violations must be corrected by Buyer; and providing the Owner and Buyer a conditional waiver of the City’s past costs incurred in its enforcement efforts against the Nuisance Property subject to the Owner’s and Buyer’s full and timely performance of all provisions and obligations under this Agreement. The City is the prevailing party for all purposes related to this Agreement and the City’s enforcement actions to date.

AGREEMENT
In consideration of and in return for the promises, covenants, and agreements made herein by the Parties, the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Recitals. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all statements in the Recitals are true and correct to the best of their knowledge. The Recitals are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement to the same extent, and to the same effect, as if fully set forth herein.

2. Violations. Owner and Buyer acknowledge the existence of the violations on the Nuisance Property, outlined in the Administrative Citation, attached as Exhibit A, and the public nuisances and substantial dangers that those violations pose to any occupants, the surrounding community, emergency responders, and the public. As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the known violations requiring abatement include, but are not limited to, the violations identified in the City’s Administrative Citation, as well as a list of rehabilitation construction activities the City has identified as necessary to correct the unpermitted construction violations and restore occupancy, which include: roof replacement; plumbing infrastructure replacement; HVAC upgrades; electrical replacement; structural repairs; fire and life safety upgrades; replacement of sheetrock and interior wall systems; flooring replacement; completion of electrical work including fixtures, outlets, switches, and panels; finish plumbing including fixtures, trim, water heaters, and final connections; interior finish carpentry; painting and finishes; and code-compliant accessibility upgrades. Owner and Buyer acknowledge the existence of the violations on the Nuisance Property Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 74 of 92 ends

and that such violations are a public nuisance and pose a substantial danger to the health and safety of the residents and the public. These violations make the Nuisance Property a nuisance, being injurious to health, indecent and offensive to the senses, and an obstruction to the free use of property, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life and property. The violations also make the Nuisance Property a public nuisance since they affect at the same time the entire community, the neighborhood, and a considerable number of persons.

3. Compliance Schedule. Upon the close of escrow transferring title of the Nuisance Property to Buyer, Buyer agrees to bring the Nuisance Property into full compliance with the Administrative Citation and all laws, including but not limited to, the H&S, the CBSC, the CBC, the CFC, the CEC, the CPC, the CMC, the CRC, the YMC, and all other applicable laws pursuant to the following schedule (“Compliance Schedule”):

3.1. Remediation Initiation For Action Not Requiring Prior Approval. Buyer must begin remediation work on the Nuisance Property that does not require approvals, permits, or other submissions to the City or applicable public agency, in order to secure the buildings against all forms of unauthorized ingress, remove material from the interiors that create an immediate safety hazard, and create esthetically pleasing exteriors, as set forth in Exhibit B hereto, within 15 calendar days of the close of escrow.

3.2. Permits and Other Required Approvals. Buyer must submit complete applications, plans, and other required documents for all required approvals, permits, and other submissions to the City and other applicable public agencies necessary to bring the Nuisance Property into full legal compliance with the Administrative Citation and all applicable State and local laws within 300 calendar days of the close of escrow.

3.2.1. Permits. The term “permit” shall include all types of permits and approvals required to address and cure any and all violations on the Nuisance Property. Application for permits may need to be submitted to the City, the Planning Commission, the County, the Air Quality Control Board, and other regulatory agencies. Buyer is responsible for identifying and obtaining all necessary permits from all relevant agencies.

3.2.1.1. Buildings. Each building and structure will require its own set of permit applications.

3.2.1.2. Permit Application. A building permit application must be submitted with the following information: (1) two sets of plans outlining the changes to the structure with the structural engineering plans for the exterior stairs (prepared by a licensed engineer or architect), plumbing plans for fixtures and any piping changes (prepared by a licensed plumber), electrical plans outlining the outlets, wiring, arc faults, and other electrical changes (prepared by a licensed electrician), and drywall specifications; (2) two sets of energy calculations in compliance with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations; and (3) a plan check fee based on the valuation of the materials Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 75 of 92 ends

and time for the project. Buyer is responsible for identifying and obtaining all necessary permits in accordance with this Agreement.

3.2.1.3. Temporary Power Permit. If Buyer elects to obtain a Temporary Power Permit, the application must be submitted by a licensed electrician and not a general contractor because this is a single-discipline permit. Following issuance of the Temporary Power Permit, Buyer shall submit complete
Commercial Remodel Permit applications for the Nuisance Property. Each application must include full plan sets, prepared and stamped by the appropriate licensed professionals for each discipline (e.g., electrical, plumbing, mechanical, structural), demonstrating the proposed changes.

3.2.1.4. Commercial Remodel Permit. If Buyer elects to proceed with Commercial Remodel Permit applications, Buyer shall submit complete permit applications covering all applicable trades, including but not limited to electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and structural work. Each application must include full plan sets, prepared and stamped by licensed professionals for each discipline.

3.2.1.5. Panel Change and Electrical Mapping. Due to safety concerns arising from unknown and mislabeled wiring, Buyer shall retain a licensed electrician to confirm all electrical panels and prepare schematics mapping the wiring to the appropriate panel or box (e.g., a panel is currently mislabeled as 400 W. Miner instead of 402 W. Miner). A licensed electrician must complete any required panel changes and provide a written confirmation that the electrical system is safe and has adequate capacity before electricity is restored.

3.2.1.6. “Mapping” refers to the creation of schematics or diagrams showing how each circuit is connected to the electrical panel or box and the proper labeling of breakers. This work must be prepared and stamped by a licensed electrician and included in the permit plan sets for Temporary Power Permit and
Commercial Remodel Permits. This work can be completed
as part of the Commercial Remodel Permits by a General
Contractor; however, the schematics themselves must be
prepared by a licensed electrician. The purpose of mapping is to ensure safety when restoring electricity to the units, to verify that panels can accommodate the required electrical load (including for mechanical systems such as mini-splits), and to prevent risks of fire or electrocution.

3.2.1.7. The panel change shall be completed by a licensed electrician prior to the commencement of any other construction work on Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 76 of 92 ends

the Nuisance Property. Once the panel change has occurred, and the electrical system has been confirmed safe to restore electricity, the remaining remodel work may proceed.

3.2.1.8. Plan Check. Once building permit applications have been submitted, the City’s Building Department will conduct a plan check to review the submitted plans for compliance with all applicable building code standards. If corrections are required, the plans shall be returned for revision and resubmittal. Once the plans have been approved, a Building Permit will be issued.

Following issuance of the permit, the contractor of record shall be responsible for scheduling all required inspections as the permitted work progresses. The Building Official may, in connection with plan review or subsequent inspections, require limited test patches be cut into drywall or other finishes in order to observe existing conditions such as electrical, plumbing, or insulation. If deficiencies are identified, additional removals may be required to ensure compliance with the approved plans and code requirements.

3.2.1.9. Testing. Submitted permits may require testing and reports as part of the permit applications, such as lead testing, asbestos testing, soil testing, engineering reports, and other potential tests and reports. Buyer is responsible for conducting all necessary testing, and providing all necessary reports, as part of all necessary permit applications in accordance with this Agreement.

3.2.1.10.Initial Permit Application Deadline. Applications for all necessary permits for all buildings must be submitted within 180 calendar days of the close of escrow. Failure to submit all permit applications by this deadline is a material breach of this Agreement.

3.2.1.11.Return of Permit Applications for Corrections. If a permit application is returned for corrections, Buyer must re-submit complete and final plans within 30 calendar days of the return of those permit applications. Failure to re-submit complete and final plans by this deadline is a material breach of this Agreement. If those re-submitted plans are returned again for further corrections, it is a material breach of this Agreement.

3.2.2. Remediation Initiation For Action Requiring Prior Approval. Buyer must begin all remediation work on the Nuisance Property that requires approvals, permits, or other submissions to the City or applicable public agency, within 30 calendar days of the issuance of the applicable approval, permit, or other legally required authorization. “Issuance” shall be deemed the date the City notifies the Buyer by any means that the permit or approval is approved. Neither Buyer nor their agents shall Yreka City Council Agenda
September 15, 2026

Page 77 of 92 ends

perform any remediation work, which requires prior approval, until and unless such prior approval is issued by the City or applicable public agency. Failure to initiate work by this deadline is a material breach of this Agreement.

3.2.3. Compliance Deadline. Buyer must take all necessary remediation actions, including all construction and demolition, to bring the Nuisance Property into full compliance with the Administrative Citation, the YMC, the H&S, and all other applicable State and local laws, as confirmed by the City, within 24 months of the close of escrow.

4. Escrow. The Parties agree that full execution of this Agreement shall be a condition of close of escrow.

5. Contractors. Buyer agrees to utilize only State licensed contractors who are insured and bonded for the work to abate the nuisances on the Nuisance Property as required by law.

6. Occupancy. Buyer agrees that the Nuisance Property shall not be occupied until a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by the City.

This includes, but is not limited to, obtaining the necessary permits for all construction or demolition work, and ensuring that such construction or demolition work is in compliance with all applicable laws.

8. Time Is Of The Essence. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Compliance Schedule is mutually agreeable and reasonable. Buyer understands that due to the health and safety dangers presented by the Nuisance Property, that time is of the essence in curing the violations.

Upon request by Buyer, the City may, but is not obliged, to consider, completely at its own discretion, an extension of time for any or all compliance deadlines in the Compliance Schedule provided that the City determines substantial progress has been made towards compliance by Buyer, and a request is received by the City before the expiration of the compliance deadlines in the Compliance Schedule.

9. Inspections.

12. Conditional Waiver of Past Cost Recovery. Subject to and conditioned upon Owner’s and Buyer’s full and timely performance of all provisions and obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation the deadlines in the Compliance Schedule, the City agrees that it will not seek or recover from the Owner or Buyer the City’s costs incurred in this matter, including its investigation costs, enforcement costs, abatement costs, expenses, fees, attorney fees, and any unpaid fines associated with its enforcement efforts to date (“Costs”), in the amount of $22,324.43.

A “Default” occurs if Owner or Buyer fails to perform any provision or obligation under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the compliance deadlines in the Compliance Schedule. Upon Default, the waiver automatically terminates prospectively as of the date of the close of escrow, and the City may invoice and recover from Buyer all City costs thereafter incurred within the scope described above; Buyer shall pay any undisputed invoiced amounts within 30 days of receipt. Reimbursement of the City’s Costs shall be made payable to the “CITY OF YREKA” and remitted to: CITY OF YREKA, Attention Juliana Lucchesi, Assistant City Manager, 701 4th Street, Yreka, California 96097. Nothing in this clause waives, limits, or impairs the City’s police powers or regulatory authority, or any right to seek equitable, injunctive, or other remedies available at law or in equity. This clause is a limited conditional waiver only and does not constitute an admission of liability by any party.

13. Future Cost Recovery. Upon Default, as provided herein, Buyer agrees that the City may recover from the Buyer all of the costs thereafter incurred by the City after the date of the close of escrow within the scope described above including, but not limited to, City’s internal and external costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement, oversight, administration, and monitoring of the compliance matters addressed herein, including inspections, staff time, consultant and contractor costs, and attorneys’ fees and costs, by any means authorized by law, including by a lien and special assessment against the Nuisance Property. Buyer consents to the placement of this lien and special assessment by the City without further notice or hearing. Buyer waives any right of dispute, hearing, or appeal regarding any such lien or special assessment.

14. Remedies. In the event that any of the compliance deadlines in the Compliance Schedule above are not met, or Buyer does not comply with any provision of this Agreement, Buyer stipulates and agrees that the City shall be entitled to pursue any and all legal and, or equitable remedies available to it for purposes of enforcement of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to all remedies available under the law, which includes, but is not limited to, injunctive relief, the appointment of a court receiver or its equivalent to manage and maintain the Nuisance Property for purposes of bringing the Nuisance Property into compliance as contemplated by this Agreement, funded by super-priority receiver’s liens, and the assessment of civil penalties or fines. Buyer hereby stipulates to the appointment of a court receiver over the Nuisance Property to bring the Nuisance Property into full compliance with State and local laws and to allow recovery of all Costs of the City, the court receiver, and the receivership estate via a super-priority lien on the Nuisance Property.
