The Film Yuba Sutter Commission (Commission), formed earlier this year, is an organization intended to attract and support the film industry in the Yuba-Sutter community. In January, City Council approved a monetary sponsorship of the Commission in the amount of $6,250, and it was noted at that time that the Commission would be forming a Film Yuba Sutter Committee (Committee) to meet quarterly. The Committee is to be comprised of a representative from each investor entity as well as film industry experts and local business and non-profit organization representatives.
Analysis:
As the City is an investor entity, the Commission is requesting that a Councilmember be appointed to the Committee. Mayor Shaw is recommending that Councilman Harris be appointed to the Committee.
There is no term associated with this appointment, so Councilman Harris would remain on the Committee as long as Council does not change the appointment, or until the expiration of his term as a Councilmember.
Alternatives:
Appoint a different Councilmember to the Committee.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution appointing Councilman Harris to the Film Yuba Sutter Commission Committee.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: April 19, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
From: Public Works Department
Presentation By: Kevin Bradford, Deputy Public Works Director - Engineering Summary
Subject: SACOG Fund Exchange Letter (Authorization to submit) Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to submit a letter to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments requesting that federal funds be deprogrammed from the Butte House Road Complete Streets project and reprogrammed to the Walton Avenue Complete Streets project Fiscal Impact: Potential schedule and cost savings for City and outside agencies resulting from elimination of federal requirements for one City project Purpose:
To improve efficiencies in managing, designing, and constructing transportation projects receiving Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) grant funding.
Council’s Strategic Goal:
This project addresses the City Council’s Strategic Goal of improving the City’s infrastructure.
Background:
The City received grant funding from SACOG in the 2021 Flexible Funding Round. The Butte House Road Complete Streets project received $300,000 through the Community Design program. The Walton Avenue Complete Streets project received $3.75 million through the Maintenance and Modernization program.
SACOG staff approached the City with an opportunity to improve the project delivery process for these two projects by transferring the grant funding from the Butte House Road project to the Walton Avenue project, which would allow the Butte House Road project to be delivered without any federal funding requirements. This would potentially save time and money, as well as benefit the public.
Analysis:
The Walton Avenue Complete Streets project received $3.75 million from SACOG in the 2021 Flexible Funding Round, yet this project is expected to require local funding of approximately $900,000. By transferring the grant funding from the Butte House Road project, the local funding required to deliver
the Walton Avenue project will be reduced by $300,000.
In return, the City would transfer $300,000 in local funds from the Walton Avenue project to the Butte House Road project. This would allow the Butte House Road project to be completed entirely with local funds, eliminating the federal funding requirements that typically delay and increase the cost of delivering a project. SACOG will require the City to submit project status updates on the Butte House Road project to assure completion by December 31, 2025. Failure by the City to complete the project may be considered by SACOG as a disqualifying or discounting factor for existing or future projects proposed through SACOG’s competitive funding programs. The risk of failing to complete the project by the deadline is extremely low.
Staff is requesting authorization for the Public Works Director to submit a letter to SACOG agreeing to the transfer of funds.
Fiscal Impact:
The transfer of funds between the two projects results in no net fiscal impact. However, there is potential schedule and cost savings for City and outside agencies resulting from elimination of federal requirements for the Butte House Road project.
Alternatives:
Do not authorize the Public Works Director to agree to the fund transfer and deliver the projects as currently programmed.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to submit a letter to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments requesting that federal funds be de-programmed from the Butte House Road Complete Streets project and re-programmed to the Walton Avenue Complete Streets project.

James Corless, Executive Director
Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG)
1415 L Street, Suite 300
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: Defederalization of City of Yuba City Projects
Dear Mr. Corless:
This letter confirms the agreement between the City of Yuba City (City) and the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) for a fund exchange between projects to consolidate federal funds onto fewer projects.
SACOG ID Project Name SACOG
Federal Funds
Local Funds
SUT56277 Butte House Road Complete Streets $300,000 SUT56278 Walton Ave. Complete Streets $300,000 Total Amount $300,000 $300,000
Background
Butte House Road Complete Streets (SUT56277)
This project received $300,000 from SACOG in the 2021 Flexible Funding Round, Community Design program. Rather than deliver this with federal funds, the City would like to transfer $300,000 in SACOG funds onto another already federally funded project and replace the federal funds with local funds.
Walton Ave. Complete Streets (SUT56278)
This project received $3,750,000 from SACOG in the 2021 Flexible Funding Round, Maintenance and Modernization program. It also has at least $300,000 of local funds programmed. Rather than deliver this with $300,000 of local funds, the City would like to transfer $300,000 in local funds to the Butte House Road Complete Streets project and replace the local funds with federal funds.
By delivering the Butte House Road Complete Streets project with local funds instead of federal funds, the City would potentially save time and money, both for itself as well as for reviewers, such as Caltrans Local Assistance. Most importantly, this agreement would benefit the public.
Agreement
The City and SACOG now agree that SACOG will program $300,000 in federal funds as follows:
1. De‐program $300,000 in SACOG federal funds from the Butte House Road Complete Streets project (SUT56277), and
2. Program $300,000 in SACOG federal funds to the Walton Avenue Complete Streets project (SUT56278).
April 20, 2022 Page 2
Letter to SACOG
re: Defederalization of City Projects
SACOG will allow the use of Toll Credits to maximize the use of federal funds on participating items. Any unspent SACOG funding on the Walton Avenue Complete Streets project (SUT56278) would be eligible for the City’s use on other projects, contingent upon consistency with SACOG’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan and timely delivery. SACOG further agrees to complete this revision to the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) by May 6, 2022.
The City further agrees to submit project status updates on the Butte House Road Complete Streets project (SUT56277) to SACOG by e‐mail no less than annually on July 1st of each year, beginning July 1, 2023. The City agrees to complete (open to the public) this project, as described in the MTIP, using local (non‐SACOG) funds by December 31st, 2025. Upon completion, the City agrees to submit a final report electronically with photographs of the physical construction, including any relevant documentation needed to demonstrate full project delivery. The City acknowledges that failure to perform on or deliver the projects as described in the MTIP may be considered by SACOG as a disqualifying or discounting factor for existing or future projects proposed through SACOG’s competitive funding programs.
Sincerely,
Ben Moody
Public Works Director

From: Public Works Department
Presentation By: Ben Moody, Public Works & Development Services Director Summary
Subject: 2022 Residential Resurfacing Project (Plans & Specifications) Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution adopting a CEQA Class 1 Categorical Exemption, approving the plans and specifications, and authorizing advertisement for bids for the 2022 Residential Resurfacing Project
Fiscal Impact: $970,000 - Engineer’s Estimate – Account No. 1213 (Residential Road Rehabilitation)
Purpose:
To provide, repair, and maintain roadways throughout the City.
Council’s Strategic Goal:
This project addresses the City Council’s Strategic Goal of improving the City’s infrastructure.
Background:
Public Works is responsible for the maintenance of public streets within the City. As part of the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Council allocated funds for the purpose of maintaining roadways.
This year’s maintenance project proposes to maintain City roadways with multiple rehabilitation methods including asphalt rubber cape seals and slurry seals on designated roadways. Repair methods were determined based on the condition of the roadway, road category, and cost efficiency.
City staff established the street list for the 2022 Residential Resurfacing Project with the use of the StreetSaver Pavement Management System. The system determined the condition of each roadway within the City, and recommended appropriate repair methods. From this data, City staff was able to prioritize the repairs by degree of need and available resources. The final street list was assembled to meet the project’s budget as efficiently as possible. The streets recommended for inclusion in the 2022 Residential Resurfacing Project are shown on the Project Location Map (Attachment 2).
Analysis:
Public Works has prepared the project plans, specifications, and cost estimate for the 2022 Residential Resurfacing Project. With Council approval of the plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids, staff proposes the following schedule:
Advertise for Bid: April 2022
Award Contract: June 2022
Start of Construction: Summer 2022
Completion: Summer 2022
The plans and specifications for the project are on file in the Public Works Department at City Hall and at http://www.yubacity.net/publicworksplans for review.
Fiscal Impact:
The estimated project cost is $970,000. This estimate includes 5% contingency and 5% construction management to reflect total project cost. The project will be funded primarily with gas tax funds through CIP Account No. 1213 (Residential Road Rehabilitation). After project completion, the CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant Program will reimburse the City approximately $83,000. Detailed fiscal impacts will be presented to Council at the award of the contract based on the actual bid amounts.
Environmental:
Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment of this project and has determined that it falls within Class 1 Categorical Exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, as the pavement and striping restoration within existing City facilities are qualifying repairs, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion. Further, none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in CEQA Guidelines 15300.2 apply to this project.
Alternatives:
Provide staff with alternative direction regarding priority locations and/or modify project scope.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution adopting a CEQA Class 1 Categorical Exemption, approving the plans and specifications, and authorizing advertisement for bids for the 2022 Residential Resurfacing Project.

Summary
Subject: Salary Schedule Modifications in the Police Department Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution amending the salary schedule and removing assignment pay job class codes
Fiscal Impact: The anticipated impact to the Police Department budget will be immaterial Purpose
To remove assignment pay from the salary schedule for compliance with current CalPERS regulations.
Council's Strategic Goal:
This staff report addresses the City Council’s Strategic Goal of fiscal responsibility.
Background:
For administrative purposes, some Police Department job class numbers (JCNs) for officers were created to reflect special assignments. While this was efficient, it is not supported by Public Employment Retirement Law (PERL) and must be changed.
Analysis:
Two Police Department special assignment pays, detective and field training officer (FTO), were combined with police officer JCNs to reduce manual calculations and data entry during the payroll process. A recent review from CalPERS found this practice inconsistent with the Police Officer's Association memorandum of understanding and PERL (Article 4, Section 571.1). The City is required to remove those JCNs, 2230 (Police Officer - Investigations) and 2210 (Police Officer - FTO), and calculate assignment pay manually. The attached salary schedule contains this correction and staff added descriptions of the assignment pay calculations.
Fiscal Impact:
The anticipated impact on the Police Department budget will be immaterial.
Alternatives:
1. Do not approve the salary schedule modifications, or
2. Direct staff to other alternatives.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution amending the Accountant I salary schedule for Accountant I by 12.8% and removing assignment pay job class codes.

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of Yuba City does resolve as follows:
Adopt a Resolution amending the salary schedule to remove JCN 2230 (Police Officer – Investigations) and 2230 (Police Officer – FTO) from the salary schedule. These changes shall become effective with the payroll period beginning April 23, 2022.

Summary
Subject: FB 22-07 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Purchase Recommendation: A. Adopt a Resolution awarding the purchase of five (5) Chevrolet Tahoe Pursuit Vehicles to Wheeler Chevrolet in the amount of $201,995.35. Sole source equipment purchases and install to Cop Shop installations of Yuba City, CA in the estimated amount of $124,063.45
B. Authorize a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $11,070 to purchase a 5 year/100K mile extended warranty for the five vehicles which was not offered by any other vendor
Fiscal Impact: $201,995.35 for the vehicles plus an additional $124,063.45 for the equipment and installation. Funding is available in the Vehicle Replacement Fund account # 6610-69401. A supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $11,070 for the purchase of a 5 year/100k miles extended warranty for the vehicles.
Purpose:
Purchase of five (5) Chevrolet Tahoe 2WD Police Pursuit Vehicles Background:
Each year, Fleet Maintenance staff reviews the City’s vehicles to determine which are recommended for replacement. This is done by reviewing the age of the vehicle, the number of miles on the vehicle and the anticipated maintenance cost if the vehicle remains in service. The Police Department is due to replace several vehicles.
With the expected purchase of the Chevrolet Tahoe 2WD Police Pursuit vehicles, the City must also fit the vehicles with the needed equipment. Equipment to be purchased and/or installed includes light bars, sirens, computers, radios, and modems. The City always attempts to salvage equipment from vehicles going out of service and place them in the new vehicles, assuming they are compatible. This allows the City to save money on equipment.
Analysis:
A formal bid was developed and advertised according to the City’s ordinances. Bid notifications were issued to thirteen (13) vendors throughout California and the following bids were received:
Vendors Price
Wheeler Chevrolet $201,995.35 (original bid) +
Yuba City, CA $11,070 (extended warranty, see below)
= $213,065.35
Winner Chevrolet $220, 174.40
Elk Grove, CA
For fiscal year 19/20 the police department opted not to purchase any police vehicles due to the concern of the fiscal impact on the city caused by the pandemic. In the middle of March 2022, staff received notification from General Motors that the deadline to order 2022/23 police vehicles will be the middle of May 2022. If vehicles are not ordered by then there will be an approximate ten-month waiting period until 2024 vehicles can be ordered. There are several downsides to this option. First being a potential price increase of the individual police vehicles. Second being the department had to postpone the purchase of four (4) Tahoe Police Pursuit vehicles in 2021 due to General Motors halting manufacturing of the Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit vehicles until July 2022. However, the police department opted to purchase two (2) Ford F-150 Police Pursuit Vehicles for fiscal year 21-22 (FB22- 04) as a temporary solution. Lastly, the cost of maintenance and repairs will significantly increase past the life expectancy of the current fleet of vehicles needing replacement.
Over the past five years the City has spent approximately $188,089.86 on maintenance and repairs for the five vehicles that are due to be replaced. The city would have a significant cost savings by purchasing the extended warranties in the total amount of $11,070 for the five (5) vehicles recommended to be purchased.
The City will also have Cop Shop Installations of Yuba City, CA perform the installation of all of the equipment that will be going into each vehicle. The City has worked with Cop Shop Installations and have been satisfied with the work performed in previous years. Historically, Cop Shop Installations have been the lowest bidder and at times have been the only bidder. It is in the best interest of the City to sole source the equipment installation to Cop Shop Installations.
Fiscal Impact:
$201,995.35 for the vehicles plus an additional $124,063.45 for the equipment and installation. Funding is available in the Vehicle Replacement Fund account # 6610-69401. A supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $11,070 for the purchase of the 5 year/100k miles extended warranties for the vehicles.
Alternatives:
1. Reject the bid
2. Request new bid process
3. Do no purchase replacement vehicles
Recommendations:
1. After utilizing the Formal Bid Process, authorize the City Manager to award a contract to Wheeler Chevrolet, Yuba City, Ca. for five (5) 2WD Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit vehicles for an amount not to exceed $201,995.35. Also, sole source the equipment purchases and installation to Cop Shop Installations of Yuba City, Ca. in the estimated amount of $124,063.45.
2. Authorize a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $11,070 for the purchase of a five-year/100k mile extended warranty on each of the purchased vehicles.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YUBA CITY AWARDING THE PURCHASE OF FIVE (5) CHEVROLET TAHOE POLICE
VEHICLES TO WHEELER AUTO CENTER AND AUTHORIZING THE SOLE
SOURCE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF VEHICLE EQUIPMENT TO
COP SHOP INSTALLATIONS
WHEREAS, the City issued a Formal Bid on March 22, 2022 to award a contract to the lowest, most responsive vendor to provide five (5) Chevrolet Tahoe Police vehicles; and WHEREAS, the City received two bids at the time of the bid opening and staff recommend awarding the purchase of the five (5) Chevrolet Tahoe Police vehicles to, Wheeler Auto Center of Yuba City, CA; and
WHEREAS, the City intends to sole source the purchase and installation of the required vehicle equipment to Cop Shop Installations of Yuba City, CA due to a special situation; and WHEREAS, Cop Shop Installations has historically provided the most satisfactory work at the most reasonable hourly work rate, thus leading to the most favorable pricing in the area; and, WHEREAS, the City recommends sole sourcing the purchase and installation of vehicle equipment to Cop Shop Installations of Yuba City, CA; and WHEREAS, the City has met the special situation requirement to sole source the equipment purchase and installation pursuant to the City Purchasing Policies section 9-3; and, WHEREAS, the City desires to authorize the sole source purchase of the equipment and installation for the Chevrolet Tahoe Police vehicles from Cop Shop Installations with the finding that it is in the best interest of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Yuba City does resolve as follows:
1. The City Council of Yuba City finds that Wheeler Auto Center provided a bid at a fair and reasonable cost. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to purchase the five Chevrolet Tahoe Police vehicles from Wheeler Auto Center in the not to exceed amount of $213,066.00, which includes the extended warranties on all five vehicles, without additional written consent from the City, subject to approval as to legal form by the City Attorney.
2. The City Council of Yuba City finds that a sole source award is appropriate on grounds that Cop Shop Installations has previously provided the City with satisfactory equipment and installation at a very reasonable price. Historically, Cop Shop Installations has provided the lowest hourly work rate, leading to an overall lower work cost, and has provided equipment with the design/specifications that are essential to department operations and for which departmental staff have training. The purchase and installation of Police vehicle equipment to Cop Shop Installations is in the best interest of the City as they have provided satisfactory work on Police vehicles in the past at a reasonable cost and the proposed negotiated prices are reasonable as well. As such, the City Council approves the purchase of equipment for the vehicles to Cop Shop Installations of Yuba
City in the amount of $124,063.45, and authorizes the City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same, subject to approval as to legal form by the City Attorney.
3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately.

Presentation By: Ben Moody, Public Works & Development Services Director Summary
Subject: Second Groundwater Well (18-18) – Plans & Specifications Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution approving the plans and specifications for construction of the below-ground facilities of the Second Groundwater Well Project at the Water Treatment Plant and authorizing advertisement for bids on the project Fiscal Impact: Engineer’s Estimate $945,000 – CIP Account No. 971191-65501 (Second Groundwater Well)
Purpose:
To provide additional water resources by securing access to groundwater at the Water Treatment Plant.
Council’s Strategic Goals: The projects address the City Council’s Strategic Goal of Improving Infrastructure.
Background:
The United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) has awarded the City a $750,000 grant for the construction of a new potable groundwater well. A draft California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document and a USBR-approved National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) document have both been completed.
On September 7, 2021, Council awarded a professional services agreement to West Yost & Associates of Davis, CA (West Yost) to develop plans and specifications for the drilling the new well and constructing the above-ground facilities, pump, and other related equipment. Due to the current drought conditions throughout the State, the design of this project has been fast-tracked in an attempt to bring the new well online as soon as possible.
In order to correctly design the above-ground facilities for the well, construction is planned to be broken down into two phases. The first phase is construction of the below-ground facilities, which involves drilling approximately 400 feet below the surface. At predetermined depths, samples will be taken where preliminary data has suggested there is a suitable groundwater aquifer. The data from the samples will help determine the yield of the well so equipment can be appropriately designed based on that yield. The anticipated yield from previous studies is approximately 2 million gallons per day.
The second phase will construct the above-ground facilities for the well including a three-sided structure, electrical cabinets, pump related equipment and plumbing. Recently, West Yost completed a 50% draft of plans and specifications for the above-ground facilities.
Analysis:
West Yost has prepared the plans, specifications, and estimate for construction of Phase I, the belowground facilities, for the Second Groundwater Well project. With Council approval of the plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids, staff proposes the following schedule:
Advertise for Bid: May 2022
Award Contract: June 7, 2022
Start of Construction: August - September 2022
Completion: November 2022
West Yost has been in contact with well drillers in the area and are incorporating their availability into the project schedule. The tentative schedule for design and construction of the above-ground facilities is as follows:
Complete Design: October 2022
Advertise for Bid: November 2022
Award Construction Contract: December 20, 2022
Start of Construction: January 2023
Completion: Spring 2023
The plans and specifications for the project are on file in the Public Works Department at City Hall and at http://www.yubacity.net/publicworksplans for review.
Fiscal Impact:
The total estimated Phase I project cost of the well drilling is $945,000. This includes a 10% construction contingency and 12% construction management and inspection fees.
The project will be funded through CIP Account No. 971191-65501 (Second Groundwater Well).
Currently, this account has a balance of $4,157,500 including grant funds. Staff plans to utilize the $750,000 in grant funds awarded by USBR for the project and the remaining costs will be covered by local funds from CIP Account No. 971191-65501. Detailed fiscal impacts will be presented to Council at the time of award based on actual bid amounts.
Environmental:
A mitigated negative declaration (MND) was prepared for the Second Groundwater Well project which assessed potential environmental impacts of the entire project as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff is currently working on submitting the MND to the State Clearing House in April and beginning the 30-day public comment period by the end of April. Staff plans to present the mitigated negative declaration to Council for adoption at the time of award of a construction contract.
Alternatives:
Instruct staff to direct West Yost & Associates to modify the plans and specifications. The project’s schedule will be delayed resulting in less water resources being available to the City as the drought continues in California.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution approving the plans and specifications for construction of the below-ground facilities of the Second Groundwater Well Project at the Water Treatment Plant and authorizing advertisement for bids on the project.

Fiscal Impact: Monetary sponsorships in the amount of up to $30,000.00 Council's Strategic Goal:
The overarching strategic goal of "Quality of Life."
Purpose:
City sponsorships reflect support of specific programs or events by an organization. The intent is that the public will receive some intrinsic cultural, economic, educational, or entertainment value from the program or event.
Background:
On January 18, 2022, Council adopted an Amended Community Sponsorship Policy which specifies the following factors that will be considered during the approval process:
All monetary sponsorship requests will be approved by the City Council at a public meeting. Resources available (e.g., budget, staff, workload capacity, etc.) Compatibility with the strategic goals of the City Council and the mission of Yuba City. Impact of an event on City Facilities.
Risk to the City.
The ability of the organization to obtain liability insurance naming the City as an additional
insured.
The overall benefit to the community.
The following sponsorship requests were received from:
Trauma Intervention Program (TIP)
The Yuba-Sutter Chapter of TIP Inc. was founded in 1994. There are currently 35 responders serving two counties, 1250 square miles, and 170,000 residents. TIP serves all 35 emergency agencies and Adventist Hospital in the area.
TIP provides immediate emotional and practical support to survivors of a tragedy. Local residents are trained to be TIP Responders and are available on a 24/7/365 day basis to assist law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics, deputy coroners, and hospital personnel. Last year, TIP responded to 210 calls for service in Yuba City.
TIP people respond to support survivors of all types of tragedy, including sudden deaths, suicides, homicides, all types of accidents, drownings, victims of crimes, structure fires, and overdoses. TIP also supports travelers when tragedy occurs in the Yuba-Sutter area, and they are far from home.
Survivors of tragedies get a high level of care in Yuba-Sutter Counties because TIP is involved. TIP contributes approximately 40,000 hours a year or nearly $ 1 million in labor to the community. TIP on scene lowers the stress level of emergency workers and helps them return to service sooner.
TIP is a nonprofit 501C (3) organization. Services are provided to survivors and their families free of charge. Funding is provided through donations and grants (when available).
TIP Yuba-Sutter is a Chapter of Trauma Intervention Programs Inc (tipnational.org), founded in San Diego County in 1985. There are currently 13 regional chapters in the nation serving over 250 cities.
Alliance for Hispanic Advancement (AHA)
AHA has over 30 years of local committed leadership, providing multiple services to the Yuba City Hispanic heritage community and business owners. AHA shares the same "Quality of Life" priority as the City does. AHA empowers our Hispanic community to foster pride and commitment to contributing back to our City.
AHA is a well-respected and recognized non-profit in the Yuba-Sutter region. These funds would help develop and continue the services and programs that include education, community involvement, and business economics.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: April 19, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
From: Police Department
Presentation By: James Runyen, Police Commander
Summary
Subject: An Ordinance Adopting an Equipment Use Policy per CA Assembly Bill No. 481 Recommendation: Waive the reading and adopt an Urgency Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Yuba City adding Chapter 23 to Title 4 of the Yuba City Municipal Code adding a policy related to use of Military Equipment Policy by title only Fiscal Impact: None
Council's Strategic Goal:
This addresses the City Council's Strategic Goal of Public Safety.
Purpose:
To establish an emergency ordinance that complies with Assembly Bill 481, which codified Government Code sections 7070 through 7075 and requires a law enforcement agency to obtain approval from an applicable governing body by adopting a “military equipment” use policy by ordinance. This must be done prior to the law enforcement agency funding, acquiring, or using military equipment. The Yuba City Police Department seeks City Council adoption of the attached Military Equipment Use Policy – YCPD policy 707 (Exhibit A), in order to allow YCPD to continue to use the vital equipment specified therein. The emergency ordinance is attached to this report (Exhibit B).
Background:
Items deemed to be “military equipment” by AB 481 are used as a component of overall best practices for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) throughout the country. These tools have been tested in the field, and are used by LEAs to enhance citizen safety and officer safety. Loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of citizens and peace officers within the City of Yuba City.
The term “military equipment”, as used in AB 481, in fact does not necessarily indicate equipment that has been used by the military. Pursuant to AB 481, items deemed to be “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, long range acoustic devices, and flashbangs.
YCPD is committed to using the most up-to-date tools and equipment to safeguard the citizens of Yuba
City. Many items deemed to be “military equipment” by AB 481 are in fact employed by YCPD and LEA’s across the country, in order to specifically reduce risk to community members. These items provide peace officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter. To that end, the items at issue in this report, and the accompanying Military Equipment Use Policy, also provide YCPD’s peace officers with vital tools that facilitate compliance with its stringent use of force policy.
Along with seeking authorization to use preexisting equipment, the YCPD also seeks authorization to acquire, fund and use a new piece of equipment in the coming year. In sum, Yuba City Police officers have faced gun fire from suspects for prolonged incidents which required the use of armored/ballistic vehicles to protect the officers and community. In the event of a mass casualty event, an armored vehicle provides protection and evacuation abilities for both citizens and officers. The protection of ballistic equipment allows for more time and opportunity to attempt to deescalate situations and provides for safer tactics to resolve life-threatening events in the safest way possible.
YCPD is requesting to purchase a Lenco Bearcat G2 in the coming fiscal year. The Lenco Bearcat, G2, is an armored vehicle designed specifically for law enforcement that seats 10-12 personnel with an open floor plan that allows for rescue of downed personnel. It can stop various projectiles, which provides greater safety for citizens and officers beyond the protection level of shield and personal body armor. This allows officers the ability to gain a better view of suspects from a safe position and introduce less than lethal options when dealing with violent offenders. The Bearcat has become a standard for many tactical teams in the nation, offering more opportunity to resolve critical incidents in the safest manner for all involved parties. This armored vehicle is more suited for our needs than the current military armored vehicles the department is using that were acquired through the 10-33 program.
Analysis:
There is significant interest in ensuring that law enforcement continues to have access to equipment that will provide peace officers with as many options as possible to safeguard lives, ensure safety, and protect civil liberties. The use of the tools identified below is vital to YCPD’s mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through internal processes and oversight.
The proposed ordinance seeks to approve YCPD’s Policy 707, which constitutes YCPD’s Military Equipment Use Policy. Policy 707 outlines each item identified in Government Code section 7070 that is currently owned by the City. The policy also includes the current use and cost of each item (Exhibit 1). These particular items, and their stated uses, were in place prior to the implementation of AB 481 or currently in the process of being obtained. Future acquisitions of any item deemed to be “military equipment” will require a further public meeting, policy update, and council approval.
The proposed ordinance safeguards the public’s welfare, safety, civil rights and civil liberties. The ordinance ensures that there are safeguards, including transparency, oversight, and accountability measures in place. For instance, the ordinance requires that YCPD’s Field Operations Division Commander will ensure that YCPD complies with the policy. YCPD will conduct an annual audit of military equipment. Violations of the policy will be corrected when discovered. Members of the public are provided directions per the policy on how to register complaints about violations. All items which result in the use of force will be investigated, as is already required by existing YCPD policy.
There are no reasonable alternatives to the items listed below. YCPD has not discovered alternative items that can achieve the same objectives of officer and civilian safety.
Each item’s necessity is further described below:
Unmanned remotely piloted powered aerial vehicles: Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are necessary as they provide visibility to high risk locations. Without the use of a UAS, peace officers would have to deploy to high risk locations, which would increase the risk to the officers and members of the public.
The UAS system is designed to enter small spaces, such as enclosed structures, as well as to provide overhead observations of wooded areas and other structures located in often times crowded spaces.
There are no known alternatives which could be used to safely access these locations.
Unmanned remotely controlled ground vehicle: Unmanned ground robots are used for reconnaissance during critical incidents to assist in providing visibility in areas where it would be unsafe to send a peace officer. This system can also be used to defuse or move potentially hazardous items. Not having access to this item would require the use of peace officers to engage in high-risk tasks. There is no known alternative to this system.
Armored personnel carriers: Armored vehicles are used to provide ballistic protection to officers and citizens during rescue, critical incidents and other hazardous situations. These vehicles allow officers closer access to high risk situations while substantially reducing the physical risk to the officers and citizens. These vehicles are built on commercial vehicle chassis and are primarily a reinforcement of civilian commercial vehicles. As such, there are no reasonable alternatives to providing the same level of ballistic protection.
Breaching apparatuses, battering rams, slugs: Battering rams and breaching apparatus are used to defeat locked, barricaded or fortified locations, allowing officers to conduct rescues or high-risk forcible entries. This includes but is not limited to rescuing hostages. These items allow peace officers to quickly enter a structure when time is of the essence. This would include but not limited to an active shooter or kidnapping situation. In such situations, time is of the essence and it would not be feasible to wait for another delayed access to the structure. There are alternatives which are used for low risk and/or non-fortified situations. This includes handheld battering rams. However, this alternative does not afford the same level of protection or speed that such equipment provides when necessary. As such, there is no reasonable alternative to these items when they are used and required.
Specialized firearms and ammunition, including assault weapons (except for standard issued weapons): Patrol rifles, Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) rifles, and sniper rifles enable officers when in compliance with the YCPD’s Use of Force Policy, to address medium to long distance threats, or those threats who are heavily armed, armored or both. Further, in both short and long-distance deployments, they allow officers’ precision shot placement, minimizing the risk to officers and innocent citizens. There are no known alternatives to these weapons that will provide the same level of distance or precision.
Flashbangs: Flashbangs are used as a distraction device in order to disorient or divert the suspect’(s) attention away from officers. This can allow officers to gain safer access to a high- risk situation, giving extra time to assess and analyze existing threats. This can prevent injury to officers and citizens. These devices can often lead to a safer resolution and allow officers to take a citizen into custody without force. There is no known alternative to a flashbang when it is necessary.
Tear gas and pepper ball: Tear gas and pepper ball are less lethal methods used to address violent or riotous crowds when there is a risk of physical safety. They are also used to safely extract a suspect from a fixed location or safely detain a suspect who poses a risk of violence to officers. Tear gas allows peace officers to deploy a less lethal chemical agent into a structure where other weapons would not be capable of doing so. These weapons are less lethal and afford peace officers an added option to avoid lethal force encounters. When these items are reasonable and necessary for use, there is no other alternative.
40mm projectile launchers and bean bag shotguns: The 40mm launcher affords the ability to use less lethal chemical agents and impact munitions. This allows officers to address a threat from a greater
distance and provides an alternative option for deadly force when reasonable. The bean bag shotgun also allows officers to confront a potentially armed or dangerous suspect at a longer distance. This can potentially prevent a deadly force encounter. When necessary, there is no alternative to these less lethal weapon systems.
New Acquisitions
If approved for purchase, the Bearcat will sustain YCPD SWAT’s core capabilities of protection, response, prevention, mitigation, and recovery to a terrorist attack, critical incident, mass casualty incident or rescue, by allowing tactical team members access to a mobile piece of equipment for the safety of officers and civilians. The YCPD SWAT Team needs mobile NIJ Level IV protection in offroad environments, tight indoor and outdoor spaces, and at second floor levels of structures. SWAT also needs NIJ Level IV protection in order to provide life-sustaining/saving services to the affected population, conduct stabilization and rescue efforts, and ensure a safe and secure environment. The Bearcat will also sustain efforts to identify, discover and locate threats or hazards, to include explosives and ballistic threats. At this time, there are no other commercially produced vehicles available that can achieve the same objective of officer and civilian safety.
The YCPD will be seeking a combination of city funds and grants funds to acquire this piece of equipment.
If approved and purchased, the YCPD SWAT Team will train with the Bearcat to assess capability, safety and effective use. The training will consist of lectures, familiarization, and driving.
Because there is only one vendor producing this product or anything similar, the price is reasonable compared to other armored vehicles.
Fiscal Impact:
None at this time.
Alternatives:
None
Recommendation:
Adopt an Emergency Ordinance that allows YCPD to use existing equipment that falls under the military equipment use policy (YCPD policy 707) that complies with the requirements of Assembly Bill 481.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: April 19, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
From: Fire Department
Presentation By: Jesse Frias
Summary
Subject: Fire Inspection Fee Schedule
Recommendation: A. Conduct a Public Hearing; then
B. Adopt a Resolution amending the Yuba City Schedule of Fees and Charges for City services related to Fire Department Inspection Services, which include creating a R-1 & R-2 Fire Inspection Fee and updating the Assembly Fire Inspection Fee
Fiscal Impact: Projected revenue increase by a minimum of $73,580 for the 22/23 FY.
Purpose:
Increase and inclusion of selected inspection fees to recoup operating costs.
Council's Strategic Goal:
This project addresses the City Council's Strategic Goal of maintaining and improving Public Safety.
Background:
California Senate Bill 1205 (SB 1205) was signed into law on September 27, 2018, after the tragic Ghost Ship Fire in December 2016 brought national attention to California and put a spotlight on fire safety laws and the performance of fire inspections.
State-mandated inspections were enacted by the California Health & Safety Code Sections 13146.2, and 13146.3 requiring all fire departments that provide fire protection services to perform annual inspections in every building used as a public or private school, hotel, motel, lodging house, apartment house, and certain residential care facilities for compliance with building standards.
Currently, the fire department has no fee established for said state-mandated inspections.
The department also conducts annual “Assembly” inspections on occupancies being occupied or used for a gathering of 50 or more persons for civic, political, travel, religious, social, educational, recreational, or like purposes, or for the consumption of food or drink.
The current City fees in place do not cover the operational expense of providing fire life and safety inspections to the public members as it relates to Assembly inspections.
Analysis:
Annually, the City of Yuba City Fire Department shall conduct inspections of all public and private schools, hotels, motels, lodging houses, and apartment/condominium buildings according to California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.2 13146.3.
Since California Senate Bill 1205 (SB 1205) was signed into law on September 27, 2018, the City has not established a fee to cover operational expenses for conducting R-1 & R-2, Apartments, Hotels and Motel mandated inspections. Establishing an inspection fee will assist in generating revenue to offset the costs of staffing needed to perform approximately 307 additional required inspections per year.
Staff established the R-1 & R-2 inspection fee based on an approximate actual cost basis by utilizing the hourly rates for the Fire Marshal, Fire Safety Inspector, and Administrative Clerk. The approximate actual cost to inspect R-1 & R-2 occupancies up to 50 units is an average of $225 per unit, and greater than 50 units is $300. The fee is calculated at an average of two hours for an inspector, half an hour for the Fire Marshal, a half-hour for the Administrative Clerk, and a ten percent administrative fee for up to 50 units. The same calculation was used for inspections on occupancies greater than 50 units, but with one additional hour for the Fire Safety inspector being added to occupancies with 51 or more units.
Staff also reviewed the fee for conducting “Assembly” occupancy inspections and found that the department is not recovering the total costs for providing the inspections and therefore would like to increase the amounts using the same methodology as stated above based on actual costs.
In addition, staff conducted a fee survey of other municipalities. Please refer to Exhibit A – Proposed Fee Schedule.
Fiscal Impact:
Projected increase of revenue by a minimum of $73,580 for the 22/23 FY. Establishing a fee for inspections on approximately 307 R-1 & R-2 (apartments, hotels & motels) occupancies will generate a minimum revenue of $69,075. In addition, increasing the Assembly occupancy inspection fees will generate $4,505 in additional revenue.
Alternatives:
1. Approve only the R-1 & R-2 fire inspection fee.
2. Approve only the Assembly fire inspection fee increase.
3. Authorize the Fire Department to hire a consultant to perform a Fee Analysis Study.
4. Do not approve the recommendation to update the Yuba City Fee Schedule for the Fire Life & Safety Inspections costs.
Recommendation:
1. Conduct a Public Hearing; then
2. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Finance Department to update the Yuba City Fee Schedule for the costs associated with Fire Life and Safety Inspections, which include creating a R-1 & R2 Fire Inspection Fee and increasing the Assembly Fire Inspection Fee.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: April 19, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
From: Administration Department
Presentation By: Diana Langley, City Manager
Summary
Subject: Amendment to the 2019 Collection Services Franchise Agreement with Recology Yuba-Sutter
Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a second amendment to the 2019 Collection Services Franchise Agreement with Recology Yuba-Sutter, subject to immaterial modifications by the City Manager upon approval of the City Attorney as to legal form
Fiscal Impact: Amendment will result in minor increases to the service rates of Recology YubaSutter customers living within the Yuba City City Limits.
Purpose:
To consider an amendment to modify the 2019 Collection Services Franchise Agreement with Recology Yuba-Sutter to address Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) requirements, reduce the biosolids disposal rate, and further align the City's Franchise Agreement with those of the other Regional Waste Management Authority (RWMA) jurisdictions.
Council's Strategic Goal:
This addresses Council's Strategic Goal of Fiscal Responsibility.
Background:
On October 2, 2018, City Council approved a new Collection Services Franchise Agreement (Agreement) with Recology Yuba-Sutter (Recology) to provide solid waste, recycling, and organic material collection services. The Agreement was scheduled to go into effect on October 1, 2019.
However, in February 2019, Recology submitted a request to change the Agreement. On August 20, 2019, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement. Amendment No. 1 primarily addressed 13 items, detailed as follows:
Section 5.8G - On-Call Electronic Waste Collection - Recology to provide on-call electronic waste collection service to Commercial Units under current programs. Section 5.8H - On-Call Universal Waste Collection - Recology to provide on-call universal waste collection service to Commercial Units under current programs.
Section 5.11 - Biosolids Handling - Provided disposal and hauling rates for the disposal of biosolids from the Wastewater Treatment Facility. Initial biosolids disposal rates were set at $38 per ton as of October 1, 2019, and scheduled to increase to $76 per ton as of October 1, 2022 through a series of annual increases.
Section 7.9A - Vehicle Requirements - General Provisions - Removed the requirement for model 2019 collection vehicles and instead included a list of the vehicle inventory Recology intended to use to provide services under the Agreement, recognizing that the current fleet's service dates ranged from 9/01/15 to 2/01/19.
Section 7.10 A - Single Family Dwelling Carts - Removed the requirement that the carts be new and the default service will not be a 96-gallon cart for each type of material collected. Single Family Dwelling customers would have the option to choose between 32-, 64-, or 96-gallon carts for Solid Waste and will receive a 64-gallon cart for Recyclable Materials and a 96-gallon cart for Green Waste.
Section 7.10 B - Distribution of Carts and Bins - Removed the requirement for Recology to purchase and distribute new carts and bins to customers. Section 7.15 - Recycling - Improper Procedure - Added language to clarify that infractions are per Agreement Year and allow Recology to charge a fee for three or more instances of contamination.
Section 7.16 - Organic Materials - Improper Procedure - Added language to clarify that infractions are per Agreement Year and allow Recology to charge a fee for three or more instances of contamination.
Section 8.10 - AB 341 and AB 1826 Compliance - Changed the language to match the language in the other RWMA member agency contracts.
Section 8.11 - Right to Audit - Added language that the scope of the audit may be expanded and the City may be able to recover any additional costs resulting from the expanded scope if inaccuracies are found in Recology's payments to the City. Section 10.5 - Extraordinary Rate Adjustments - Adopted the methodology for special rate adjustments provided for in the other RWMA member agency contracts. Section 10.6 - Submittal of Request - Defined the process for how a request for an extraordinary rate adjustment should be conducted.
On February 4, 2020, City Council received an informational report regarding Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) Compliance Planning. SB 1383, available for review at https://calrecycle.ca.gov/organics/slcp/, is the most significant waste reduction and recycling mandate to be adopted in California in the last 30 years. It includes state-wide requirements to reduce organic waste (food, green, paper products, and other materials) disposal and increase edible food waste recovery. The informational report noted, "The City entered into a 10-year franchise agreement with Recology Yuba-Sutter in October 2019 for the collection of solid waste, recyclable materials, organic materials, and construction and demolition debris. Under the Agreement, Recology is required to provide single-family and multi-family customers with solid waste, recyclable materials, and green waste collection services. For commercial customers, Recology is required to provide solid waste collection service and offer recyclable materials, green waste, and food waste collection services. The Agreement may require an amendment to incorporate expansions in certain programs and new activities for Recology." The informational report also went on to note that in order to achieve compliance with SB 1383, the City will need to negotiate an amendment to its existing Agreement with Recology to expand food waste collection service to its residential customers.
Around the same time, Recology approached the City about modifying the Consumer Price Index (CPI) methodology. Staff began discussions related to Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement.
Analysis:
City staff and Recology staff have identified several items to be addressed with Amendment No. 2. A summary of those items is provided below.
Yuba City Requests
1. Stabilize Biosolids Handling Rates - Amendment No. 1 provided for disposal and hauling of biosolids from the Wastewater Treatment Facility. The disposal rate is scheduled to increase from $61 per ton to $76 per ton as of October 1, 2022. This increase in rates increases the City's cost to dispose of biosolids significantly. Staff has evaluated other options to dispose of biosolids, and disposal via Recology is the most cost effective option. It has been negotiated and proposed under Amendment No. 2 that the disposal rates will only increase to $63 per ton effective October 1, 2022.
2. Add a Residential Food Waste Collection Program - Allow residential customers to place food waste and food-soiled papers into the green waste container.
3. Provide for Billing and Service Level Audit Provisions - Recology shall perform a comprehensive audit of all Collection routes in the Service Area as of October 1, 2022, and every twenty-four (24) months thereafter, and submit to the City a written report of the results of that audit.
4. Require an Emergency Action Plan - Prior to October 1, 2022, Recology is required to work with the City to prepare an Emergency Action Plan for disaster preparedness, to provide a framework for Recology to continue to provide collection services after a catastrophic event.
5. Add Yuba City to a combined diversion calculation with the other five RWMA member agencies - Disposal and diversion data for Yuba City will be reported on an aggregate basis for all RWMA member agencies for purposes of determining compliance with the 30% Minimum Diversion Requirement.
6. RWMA Surcharge Fee - The RWMA Surcharge Fee, which is a fee charged to fund the RWMA, will be separated from the City's Franchise Fee and Recology will pay the surcharge fee directly to RWMA.
7. Miscellaneous Agreement Language and Minor Service Modifications - Recology agreed to miscellaneous Agreement language and minor service modifications to better align Yuba City's Agreement with the agreements of the other RWMA member agencies.
8. Addition of a Recycling Coordinator - Recology is to provide two Recycling Coordinators whose time is to be shared proportionately among the RWMA member agencies.
Recology Requests
1. Adjust rates to compensate for the addition of a Residential Food Waste Collection Program - Recology is requesting a price increase to cover at least a portion of the costs to implement the residential food waste recovery program. Recology is estimating that the residential food waste collection program will require 60% of a driver and truck as well as additional processing costs.
2. Match RWMA CPI rate methodology - Yuba City's current Agreement includes CPI rate methodology based on the changes in the current and prior year April values for the index. The CPI rate methodology for the other RWMA jurisdictions is based on the change in the annual average of the index for the current and prior years with the April values being the ending values for each annual average calculation.
3. Request additional ancillary charges to match other RWMA jurisdictions - Insert additional rates to match other RWMA jurisdictions (refer to Exhibit 1 of the Amendment).
4. Remove requirement to maintain an office in Yuba City - Remove the requirement that Recology maintain a publicly accessible office located in Yuba City. Yuba City customers shall have access to the publicly accessible office located within the RWMA Service Area.
5. Modify the term of the Franchise Agreement to match the term of the other jurisdictions in RWMA - Yuba City's current Agreement is currently scheduled to terminate on September 30, 2029, with the option for two five-year extensions, which would set the potential final termination date at September 30, 2039. In order to match the terms of the other RWMA jurisdictions, the proposal is to modify the initial term so that the Agreement terminates on September 30, 2028, and add the option for three five-year term extensions, which would set the potential final termination date at September 30, 2043.
The attached Amendment provides greater detail of items highlighted above as well as the proposed Rate Summary.
Fiscal Impact:
To offset Recology's anticipated increase in operational costs to provide the additional services noted above, it is proposed to increase Yuba City's Base Rates to match Sutter County's Base Rates, which will increase Recology's revenue by 2.24%, and to reduce Yuba City's Franchise Fee to 10%, which also matches Sutter County's Franchise Fee. The reduction of Yuba City's Franchise Fee will result in an estimated annual reduction in revenues to Yuba City of approximately $260,000. Staff recommends matching Yuba City's and Sutter County's Base Rates and Franchise Fees as Yuba City customers will now be receiving very similar services to Sutter County customers.
If approved, the increase to Yuba City's Base Rates will be effective May 1, 2022. Also of note is that an additional 3% increase will occur on October 1, 2022, which will be the annual CPI adjustment, and will be applied to the rates of all of the RWMA jurisdictions.
An additional benefit of Amendment No. 2 is that the Biosolids Handling Rate will be $63 per ton instead of $76 per ton, effective October 1, 2022. This will have long-term benefits to City wastewater customers as future increases in the Biosolids Handling Rate will be indexed based upon the lesser dollar amount.
Alternatives:
Do not approve Amendment No. 2 and direct staff as to what items need to be re-negotiated.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a second amendment to the 2019 Collection Services Franchise Agreement with Recology Yuba-Sutter, subject to immaterial modifications by the City Manager upon approval of the City Attorney as to legal form.

5 containers for proper Disposal to participating pharmacies or the Recology Customer service office in Marysville. Details of the program including a list of participating pharmacies shall be provided through the CONTRACTOR’s website.”
15. Emergency Action Plan. Section 5.12.J of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
“J. Emergency Action Plan. Prior to October 1, 2022, CONTRACTOR shall work with the Contract Administrator to prepare an Emergency Action Plan for Disaster Preparedness (Emergency Action Plan) in a form and format that is satisfactory to the Contract Administrator. The Emergency Action Plan shall provide a framework for CONTRACTOR to continue Collection Services within the Service Area after a catastrophic event, and to facilitate collaborative efforts with the CITY that mitigate the threat to the health, safety and welfare of CITY residents. CONTRACTOR shall work with the Contract Administrator to update the Emergency Action Plan no fewer than two (2) times during the Term of this Agreement to ensure that the Emergency Action Plan is at all times current and actionable.
1. Emergency Service Compensation. CONTRACTOR shall provide emergency services in accordance with the Emergency Action Plan in the event of major accidents, disruptions, or natural calamities. Emergency services that exceed the scope of work under this Agreement, and that are not compensated by charges to Customers (in accordance with the Maximum Service Rates provided in Exhibit 1 will be billed by CONTRACTOR to CITY in accordance with the Maximum Service Rates in Exhibit 1, and may either be paid by CITY or treated as a CITY-directed change as set forth in Section 5.5 of this Agreement.”
16. Changes in Recyclables Market Conditions. A new Section 6.5.B is hereby added to the Agreement directly following Section 6.5.A:
“B. Marketing
1. General. The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for marketing Recyclable Materials Collected in the CITY. CONTRACTOR's marketing strategy shall promote the highest and best use of materials presented in the waste management hierarchy established by AB 939. Where practical, the marketing strategy should include use of local, regional, and domestic markets for Recyclable Materials.
2. Changes in Market Conditions.
a. Changing Conditions. The CITY and CONTRACTOR acknowledge that the ability to market various types of Recyclable Materials Collected in the CITY may change over the Term of the Agreement. It is possible that markets currently available for some Recyclable Materials will not be available in the future. Conversely, for materials in which markets currently do not exist, markets may emerge in the future.
6 b. Limited Term Market Fluctuations. The CITY and CONTRACTOR acknowledge that markets for various types of Recyclable Materials fluctuate and may render a material defined as Recyclable Material temporarily unmarketable. The CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that markets for materials Collected under this Agreement may temporarily emerge or be disrupted and these fluctuations of limited duration may not warrant a change to the definition of Recyclable Materials under this Agreement or notification to Customers. CONTRACTOR shall make reasonable commercial efforts to Divert Recyclable Materials Collected and Processed during limited term market fluctuations while CITY and CONTRACTOR are assessing the need to submit a written request for an item or type of material to be removed from or added to the definition of Recyclable Materials. In the event CONTRACTOR is unable to Divert specific Recyclable Materials due to limited term market fluctuations, such materials may be Disposed for a specific time period if agreed upon between CITY and CONTRACTOR.
c. Non-Existent Market(s). If CONTRACTOR determines that it can no longer secure market(s) for one (1) or more materials included in the definition of Recyclable Materials, CONTRACTOR may submit a written request to the CITY to have the material removed from the definition of Recyclable Materials. In such case, CONTRACTOR's request shall demonstrate its attempt(s) at identifying and securing market(s) for the materials; information on the market conditions from relevant industry sources supporting the lack of market(s); an estimated timeframe for the market conditions; an estimate of the impact on the tons of Recyclable Materials Diverted annually; and a plan for notifying Customers of the elimination of the material type from the list of acceptable Recyclable Materials for Collection. The Contract Administrator will review CONTRACTOR's request and provide a response within sixty (60) Days of receipt of the request. If the CITY is willing to consider temporary or permanent removal of a material type from the definition of Recyclable Materials, the CITY and CONTRACTOR shall meet and confer to negotiate the proposed revisions and shall amend this Agreement, if appropriate, to reflect mutually agreed-upon changes. If the CITY agrees that the material shall no longer be listed in the Recyclable Materials definition, CONTRACTOR shall not be obligated to Collect the material as a Recyclable Material, may Dispose of such material and shall incur any and all costs associated with the Disposal of these materials and with educating Customers of the change and costs associated with Collection, transfer, Transportation, Processing and Disposal of such materials to the extent Customers continue to include the material in their Recyclable Materials Containers. Notwithstanding the above CONTRACTOR may continue to use the Recyclable Materials Cart to Collect material that has been removed from the Recyclable Materials definition at their discretion.
d. Emerging Market(s). If CONTRACTOR or the CITY identify that a new market is available for a material that is not included in the definition of
7 Recyclable Materials, either Party may request that the list of Recyclable Materials be amended to include the material. Such a change would expand CONTRACTOR's obligations to Collect, transfer, transport, Process and market such material. In such case, the CITY and CONTRACTOR shall meet and confer to negotiate the proposed revisions and shall amend this Agreement, as appropriate, to reflect mutually agreed-upon changes in scope.”
17. Calculation of Diversion Rate. City and Contractor desire to amend the Agreement to provide that the annual diversion rate shall be calculated on an aggregate basis for all RWMA members. Effective upon the execution of written agreements between Contractor and each other RWMA member that is not a party to this Amendment that authorize the desired amendment to the diversion rate calculation, Section 6.7 of the Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:
“6.7 Minimum Diversion Requirements.
The CITY requires the CONTRACTOR to use its best efforts to achieve a minimum annual diversion rate of thirty percent (30%), or such other amount as may be set by request of the CITY in accordance with the provisions of Article 5.5 of this Agreement, during each Agreement Year beginning October 1, 2018. The annual diversion rate will be calculated as "the tons of materials Collected by CONTRACTOR from the provision of Collection Services in the RWMA Service Area under the terms of this Agreement and each other collection services agreement between Contractor and the other RWMA Member Agencies, that are shipped to the Materials Recovery Facility, the Organic Materials Processing Facility, or other recycler or re-user, net of any Residue amounts, divided by the total tons of materials Collected by CONTRACTOR from the provision of Collection Services in the RWMA Service Area under the terms of this Agreement and each other collection services agreement between CONTRACTOR and the other RWMA Member Agencies in each Agreement Year." As of January 1, 2020, the use of green material as ADC does not constitute diversion through Recycling and shall be considered disposal pursuant to PRC Section 41781.3. (2)(A).
In the event CONTRACTOR is authorized by CITY to Dispose of any Recyclable Materials (or to remove any Recyclable Material from the definition of Recyclable Materials) under the terms of Sections 6.5.B.2. of this Agreement, the estimated tons of Recyclable Material Disposed or not Collected by virtue of being removed from the definition of Recyclable Material) shall be counted as if they were Diverted in the formula used to calculate the Diversion rate for that Agreement Year. CONTRACTOR shall prepare and provide to CITY this estimate based on the tons of the specific Recyclable Material Collected by CONTRACTOR from the provision of Collection Services in the RWMA Service Area under the terms of this Agreement that was shipped to the Materials Recovery Facility, the Organic Materials Processing Facility, or other recycler or re-user, net of any Residue in the twelve (12) months preceding the month in which the CITY authorized the removal of the material from the definition of Recyclable Materials. CITY shall review the estimate, the information used to prepare it, and such other information, including material allocation calculations and methodologies, if
8 necessary, as CITY may require to complete its review. The final estimate shall be agreed upon between CITY and CONTRACTOR based on the review.”
18. Contractor Office. The first sentence of Section 7.2 is hereby amended to read as follows:
“The CONTRACTOR shall maintain a publicly accessible office located within the RWMA Service Area that provides telephone access to residents and businesses of the CITY and shall be open during normal business hours, which are currently 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for Holidays.”
19. Non-Disclosure. Section 8.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
“8.4 NON-DISCLOSURE
CONTRACTOR will not disclose to any Person other than the CITY or RWMA any information identifying an individual Customer, the composition or contents of a Customer's Discarded Material, or a Customer' s trade secrets unless upon the authority of a law or order validly issued by a court of administrative tribunal of competent jurisdiction, or pursuant to written authorization of the Customer.”
20. Billing and Service Level Audit. The following Section 8.12 is hereby added to the Agreement immediately following Section 8.11:
“ 8.12 BILLING AND SERVICE LEVEL AUDIT
In addition to any other auditing activities required by this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall perform a comprehensive audit of all Collection routes in the Service Area as of October 1, 2022 and every twenty–four (24) months thereafter, and submit to the CITY a written report on the results of that audit, no later than the March 31 of the subsequent year. The purpose of such audit shall be to ensure that each Customer is receiving the service for which the Customer is being billed.
If the CITY requests, CONTRACTOR shall cooperate fully with the CITY to allow the CITY to verify the accuracy of CONTRACTOR's billing and Service Level audit report. “
21. Franchise and RWMA Surcharge Fees.
a. Section 9.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
“ 9.1 FRANCHISE FEE
The exclusive franchise granted to CONTRACTOR by this Agreement is a special privilege to use public streets and rights-of-way to provide Collection Services within the municipal limits of the City of Yuba City. In consideration of the grant of such exclusive franchise, CONTRACTOR shall pay CITY a franchise fee. The franchise fee shall be a percentage of CONTRACTOR'S Gross Billings billed each month under the terms of this Agreement, net of RWMA surcharge fees. For purposes of calculating franchise fees, Gross Billings shall specifically include revenue billed by the CONTRACTOR for the provision of Collection Services by the CONTRACTOR. However, revenue received by the CONTRACTOR from the sale of recyclable materials and from related California Redemption Value (CRV) payments shall not be considered asGross Billings for purpose of the calculation
9 of franchise fees. The franchise fee percentage shall be ten percent (10 %) unless otherwise adjusted by the CITY. The CITY and CONTRACTOR believe that the franchise fee bears a reasonable relationship to thevalue of the exclusive franchise granted to CONTRACTOR by this Agreement, taking into account the scope of the franchise, the geographic size of the City of Yuba City, and the number of rate payers within the municipal limits of the City of Yuba City.” b. Section 9.5 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
“ 9.5 RWMA SURCHARGE FEE
During the Term of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall pay RWMA a RWMA surcharge fee to fund the programs and activities of the RWMA as authorized in the Joint Powers Agreement as it may be amended from time to time. These programs and activities currently include the funding, operation and/or maintenance of the Household Hazardous Waste facility in Yuba City; the YubaSutter Local Enforcement Agency; rate reviews; special projects; and, RWMA administration. CITY shall provide CONTRACTOR with any change to the RWMA surcharge fee no later than thirty (30) Days prior to the date that the annual rate adjustment application is due. In the event that the CITY adjusts the RWMA surcharge fee, CONTRACTOR may adjust the Maximum Service Rates subject to approval by CITY of CONTRACTOR’s calculation of the adjustment amount, to incorporate any such changes in the surcharge fee prior to the time that the new surcharge fee becomes effective.
A. Payment of RWMA Surcharge Fee. CONTRACTOR shall make payment to the RWMA of the RWMA surcharge fee. Payment to the RWMA shall be due on the twentieth (20th) Day of each month with respect to surcharge fees billed by CONTRACTOR in the preceding month. Each payment shall be accompanied by an accounting that sets forth the amount of RWMA surcharge fees attributable to each Service Area for the preceding month. No acceptance by the RWMA of any payment shall be construed as an accord that the amount is the correct amount, nor shall such acceptance of payment be construed as a release of any claim the RWMA may have against CONTRACTOR for any additional sums payable under the provisions of this Agreement.”
22. Annual Maximum Service Rate Adjustments.
a. Pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Agreement, Contractor is eligible to carry forward the unused CPI increase of 0.81% that was reflected in the rate adjustment application submitted by Contractor to City on or about May 31, 2021. Contractor hereby waives their right to carry forward this unused 0.81% CPI increase. For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor does not waive its right to carry forward any other unused CPI increases that it is currently or will be entitled to for future rate years. b. Section 10.3 (Schedule of Future Adjustments) of the Agreement is hereby deleted. c. Section 10.4 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
10 “10.4 ANNUAL RATE ADJUSTMENTS
Annual Adjustments. Beginning with the Agreement Year starting October 1, 2022 and ending on September 30, 2023 and for all subsequent Agreement Years the base element of the Maximum Service Rates shown in Exhibit 1 shall be adjusted by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Items, San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, Series ID: CUURS49BSA0, published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“CPI”), subject to the annual cap and the carry-forward mechanism described in Exhibit 1-A.

The CONTRACTOR shall submit the rate application required by Exhibit 1-A electronically in a format approved by the CITY to the Contract Administrator on or before June 1, 2022 and June 1 of each succeeding Agreement Year.
The annual rate adjustment process shall be as set forth in Exhibit 1-A.”
23. Extraordinary Rate Adjustments. The third paragraph of Section 10.5 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word “Participating”.
24. CalRecycle Indemnification. Section 11.1.B of the Agreement is hereby amended by substituting the phrase “AB 939, AB 341, AB 1826, and/or SB 1383” for each reference to “AB 939, AB 341 and/or AB 1826”.
25. Maximum Service Rates. Exhibit 1 to the Agreement is hereby amended and replaced with Exhibit 1 to this Amendment.
26. Maximum Service Rate Adjustments. Exhibit 1-A (Maximum Service Rate Adjustments) is hereby added as Exhibit 1-A to the Agreement.

EXHIBIT 1-A:
MAXIMUM SERVICE RATE ADJUSTMENTS
1. Annual Rate Adjustment Process
a) Elements of Maximum Service Rates. Each Maximum Service Rate shall consist of some combination of the following elements: a base service rate element, a Franchise Fee element, anRWMA surcharge fee element, and such other elements as may be added by the CITY duringthe Term of this Agreement to reflect new fees or charges imposed by CITY.
b) Adjustments to Base Service Rate Element. Beginning on October 1, 2022, and annually thereafter, CONTRACTOR shall, subject to compliance with subsection d) below, receive an annual adjustment in the base service rate element of all Maximum Service Rates set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement. The annual adjustment will be based on changes in the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Items, San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, Series ID: CUURS49BSA0, published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics ("CPI") published bi-monthly beginning in February of each year. i) Subject to the carry-forward mechanism described in subsection ii) below, the annual adjustment to the base service rate element shall be in a percentage amount equal to thepercentage change in the annual average of the CPI between the 12-month period ending onApril 30 of the calendar year in which the annual adjustment is to occur, and the preceding 12-month period. For purposes of this calculation, the annual average shall be the average ofthe six bimonthly indices (June, August, October, December, February and April). For example, the first annual CPI adjustment (to take effect on October 1, 2022) will be based on the percentage change between the annual average of CPI for the twelve (12) months endingApril 30, 2021 and the annual average of CPI for the twelve (12) months ending April 30, 2022. In the preceding example the percentage change in the annual averages would be calculatedas follows [(2022 annual average/2021 annual average)- 1). In any year that the calculation ofthe percentage change in CPI results in a negative number, the negative number shall be used (that is, CPI adjustments may be positive or negative).
ii) In any year that the percentage change in CPI calculated as provided in subsection i) above, plus any percentage change carried forward from the previous year pursuant to this subsection ii), is more than three percent (3%), the current year's CPI adjustment to the baseservice rate element shall be three percent (3%), and the percentage above three percent (3%) shall be carried forward to the following year
EXHIBIT 1-A:
and added to the CPI percentage that would otherwise apply in that year. The process shall be repeated for successive annual adjustments under this Agreement until all carry-forward amounts have been applied or the Agreement terminates. For example, if the CPI adjustments calculated under subsection i) were 6% for 2022, 3% for 2023, and 1% for 2024, then the CPI adjustments to the base service rate element would be 3% in 2022, 3% in 2023, and 3% in 2024 (assuming no carry-forward from 2021to 2022). The carry-forward mechanism and three percent (3%) cap shall not applyto any adjustments to the base service rate element for reasons other than the CPI adjustment (such as a CITY-directed change in services, or pass-through of regulatory fees).
Adjustment to the Fee Elements of the Maximum Service Rates. The other fee elements of the Maximum Service Rates shall be adjusted as follows:
iii) Franchise Fee Element. The Franchise Fee element shall be calculated by dividing the base service rate element of each Maximum Service Rate by one (1) minus the Franchise Fee percentage (for example 1.00 - .10 = 0.90); subtracting the base service rate element; and rounding the resulting figure to two (2) decimal places. iv) RWMA Surcharge Fee Element. The RWMA surcharge fee element is set initially by the CITY and may be modified annually by notice to the CONTRACTOR no later than thirty (30) days prior to June 1st of the year that the modification is intended to take effect.
c) Submission of Application. On or before June 1, 2022 and each succeeding Agreement Year during the Term of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall submit an application to CITY for such adjustment. The application shall contain CONTRACTOR's calculation (in accordance with this Exhibit) of the annual adjustment and a revised Maximum Service Rate sheet reflecting the annual adjustment.
d) Failure to Submit. If CONTRACTOR fails to submit the application by the June 1st deadline, it is agreed that CONTRACTOR shall be deemed to have waived the annual adjustment for that year and such waived annual adjustment ·shall not be added to a future rate application. CONTRACTOR's failure to provide the application shall not preclude CITY from applying the annual adjustment, if that application would result in a negative adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CONTRACTOR's failure to submit the application is the result of extraordinary or unusual circumstances as demonstrated by CONTRACTOR to the satisfaction of the Contract Administrator, CITY, at its sole discretion, may consider the request for the annual adjustment. In the event the annual adjustment is waived as set forth herein, CITY retains the right to adjust any
EXHIBIT 1-A:
or all of the other fee elements of the Maximum Service Rates. e) Rounding. Annual adjustments to Maximum Service Rates shall be made only in units of one cent ($0.01). Fractions of less than one cent ($0.01) shall be rounded to two (2) decimal places by rounding the third decimal. The annual adjustment shall be rounded to four (4) decimal places for the adjustment calculations by rounding the fifth decimal. In each of the above cases, rounding shall be down if the decimal to be rounded, as set forth above, is five (S) or less and up if the decimal to be rounded, as set forth above, is six (6) or more.
f) Review by Contract Administrator. The Contract Administrator shall review the calculations in CONTRACTOR' s application and shall promptly notify CONTRACTOR of any errors, but in any event before July 1st. In the absence of such notice, the annual adjustment calculation and Maximum Service Rate adjustments set forth in CONTRACTOR's application shall be deemed approved and shall take effect on the next October 1st. If any errors have occurred and are noticed to CONTRACTOR by July 1st, CONTRACTOR shall have the opportunity to submit a corrected application. In such event, the Contract Administrator shall promptly review the corrected application and notify CONTRACTOR either that the application is correct, or that there are additional errors that need correction, in which case the correction procedure shall be repeated. The annual adjustment calculation and adjustments to the Maximum Service Rates set forth in CONTRACTOR's application (as so corrected) shall then become effective on the next October 1st.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: April 19, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
From: Public Works Department
Presentation By: Ben Moody, Public Works & Development Services Director Summary
Subject: Water Supply Outlook and Emergency Water Conservation Measures Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution declaring that water supply conditions are such that they dictate and justify the need for the implementation of mandatory conservation measures to achieve 20% conservation, in alignment with Stage 3 of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan
Fiscal Impact: Conservation will result in a reduction in water revenues and increased costs for public outreach and compliance
Purpose:
To provide the City’s current water supply outlook and implement conservation measures to obtain a 20% reduction in consumption as compared to 2020.
Council’s Strategic Goal:
This item addresses Council’s Strategic Goal of Public Safety by ensuring adequate water supply for the health and safety of the City’s utilities customers.
Background:
The City of Yuba City primarily obtains water for its water system through four different permits/contracts from the Feather River; the City also has access to groundwater for use in drought or emergency conditions via Groundwater Well #1, located at the Water Treatment Plant (WTP), with plans to have Hillcrest Groundwater Well #9 back online in June 2022.
With the current drought, the City’s water supplies have been curtailed and reduced, many to the levels experienced during the 2012-2016 drought. The projected allocation/utilization for 2022 is shown below in Table A and further detailed in Attachment 3.

* Allotment for current-year DWR State Water Project is subject to change should drought conditions continue. Any reduction in supply will need to be supplemented by carryover water. **The City’s highest priority is to maximize carryover water savings in order to preserve resources for future need, especially if drought conditions continue into Fiscal Year 23/24.
During California’s 2012-2016 drought, the City utilized the backup groundwater well at the WTP, “carryover” water from the State Water Project (SWP) Contract to supplement supplies, and encouraged customers to conserve water. Customers did an excellent job reducing consumption during the 2012-2016 drought, and adopted long-term habits that reduced water consumption overall. Through these efforts, the City was able to meet water demands.
Curtailment of water supply allotment began again in 2021 in response to low precipitation and snowpack, and, subsequently, the City voluntarily implemented Stage 2 of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan with a 15% target in July 2021 in order to conserve carryover water and match Executive Order N-10-21.
Though the City has been fortunate to have had enough water supplies to serve customers through 2021 and into 2022, another dry winter has further threatened the water supply level for agencies across California, including Yuba City.
Analysis:
On March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-7-22 (Executive Order), which directs the State Water Resources Control Board to require all urban water suppliers to implement minimum Stage 2 (Water Warning) of their Water Shortage Contingency Plans with a target of 20% conservation. As the City already voluntarily implemented Stage 2 in July 2021, staff has been able to evaluate the effectiveness of that stage to address current and future water supply concerns. Staff has concluded that the voluntary Stage 2 measures have not reached the desired conservation target
during this period and recommends more stringent measures to address the ongoing drought conditions.
In order to meet the state conservation target and conserve SWP Contract carryover water as much as is practicable, staff recommends implementing Stage 3 (Severe Shortage) with a designated 20% reduction target, which includes mandatory water use prohibitions. While this is not mandatory by the State at this time, staff believes that these conservation measures are necessary to better meet the City’s water supply needs and anticipated future shortages in Fiscal Year 22/23. Additional water use restrictions under Stage 3 include:
Outdoor irrigation restriction to two (2) designated days per week o Irrigation will be limited to Mondays and Thursdays for all addresses Enforcement of water use prohibitions, including:
1. Irrigation outside of designated times
2. Excessive watering resulting in gutter flooding
3. Using a hose without a shutoff nozzle
4. Washing down hard surfaces such as sidewalks and driveways
5. Using a non-recirculating fountain
6. Not repairing leaks in a timely manner
A full description of Stage 3 is in Attachment 2, along with the other stages of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan. With Council’s direction, staff will prepare an outreach campaign to inform customers of the need for significant water conservation and the implemented Stage 3 required actions.
The irrigation schedule and water violation information can be found in Attachment 5.
In addition to customer conservation, City efforts to conserve water include further evaluation and construction of groundwater sources, including beginning construction of Groundwater Well #2 at the Water Treatment Plant in the fall, analysis of water supply reduction and water loss within the City’s water treatment and distribution system, and reduction in irrigation and water activity at the City’s parks and facilities.
Public Works recommends the following schedule for increased water conservation measures:
Council Approval April 19, 2022
Outreach Campaign & Water Warnings May 1, 2022
Full Implementation & Enforcement June 1, 2022
Fiscal Impact:
A reduction in consumption will result in a reduction in revenues. The water and wastewater rate increases will partially offset this loss in sales. An historical comparison of water supply and utilities revenue from Fiscal Year 10/11 through projected Fiscal Year 22/23 is included as Attachment 4.
Alternatives:
Direct staff to remain at Stage 2 voluntary conservation and do not initiate mandatory water conservation measures unless directed to do so at a later time by the State.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution declaring that water supply conditions are such that they dictate and justify the need
for the implementation of mandatory conservation measures to achieve 20% conservation, in alignment with Stage 3 of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

RESOLUTION NO. 22-__
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF YUBA CITY
DECLARING THAT WATER SUPPLY CONDITIONS ARE SUCH THAT THEY
DICTATE AND JUSTIFY THE NEED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN STAGE 3
WHEREAS, on March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-7- 22 ordering the State Water Resource Control Board to require urban water suppliers to implement, at minimum, Stage 2 of said suppliers’ Water Shortage Contingency Plans to achieve a goal of 20% water conservation in response to ongoing drought conditions; and
WHEREAS, the City voluntarily implemented Stage 2 of the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan on July 20, 2021 in order to achieve a 15% water conservation target in response to Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-10-21; and WHEREAS, the City’s mandatory water restrictions to achieve up to a 30% reduction in water consumption are a part of Stage 3 of the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the more stringent restrictions of Stage 3 be implemented in order to better reach the minimum 20% target due to the insufficiency of the voluntary Stage 2 implementation during the previous nine months; and WHEREAS, Section 6-6.19 of the Municipal Code dictates that upon declaration of the City Council that water supply conditions are such that they dictate and justify the implementation of emergency water restrictions, the regulations in the Water Shortage Contingency Plan within the City’s adopted Urban Water Management Plan will apply.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Yuba City hereby declares that water supply conditions are such that they dictate and justify the need for implementation of emergency water restrictions at Stage 3 of the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan. The City Council orders implementation of emergency water restrictions at Stage 3 of the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan.
The foregoing resolution was duly and regularly introduced, passed, and adopted by the City Council of the City of Yuba City at a regular meeting thereof held on the 19th day of April, 2022.

CITY OF YUBA CITY
STAFF REPORT
Date: April 19, 2022
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
From: Finance/IT Department
Presentation By: Spencer Morrison, Finance Director
Summary
Subject: Presentation of Utility Billing Arrearages and Delinquencies Recommendation: Note and File Report
Fiscal Impact: Informational item only
Purpose:
To provide information regarding utility billing arrearages and delinquencies.
Council's Strategic Goal:
This item addresses City Council's Strategic Goal of fiscal responsibility.
Background:
In recent years, prior to the pandemic, Yuba City’s monthly utility billing delinquencies represented 1 percent of accounts and the unpaid bills ranged from $50,000 to $75,000. On April 2, 2020, the California governor announced Executive Order N-42-20 placing a moratorium on water system service shutoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic. This order ended on December 31, 2021, but the City must still follow Senate Bill 998 (SB 998), passed in 2018, which places many rules on how the City administers discontinuance of service due to nonpayment.
In fiscal year 2021-22, the State Water Resources Control Board appropriated American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for the California Water and Wastewater Arrearage Payment Program (CWWAPP) which establishes a mechanism for ratepayers to find relief for debt to the City utilities. Yuba City applied for and received $279,320 in water bill relief funding and applied it to 702 delinquent accounts.
Yuba City also has an application pending for $257,618 for sewer bill relief for 455 accounts. While this funding does help, many of the same ratepayers have not resumed monthly payments and balances will continue to climb.
Analysis:
Yuba City has been utilizing discontinuance of service for nonpayment (Shutoffs) for decades as the last resort collection tool for accounts that are two or more months behind on their rate payments. SB
998 was already providing many protections to ratepayers that are delinquent on their utility bills when Governor Newsom placed a moratorium on shutoffs. Yuba City’s delinquencies has grown to 969 delinquent accounts (almost 8 percent) and over $457,700, today, factoring in the coming sewer bill relief. Finance staff has been instrumental in making contact with ratepayers, providing education, and reducing the outstanding balance from as high as over $700,000. Yuba City applied for and has been approved for a third ratepayer relief program, Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP), through which ratepayers may apply directly through the State of CA for assistance providing up to $2,000 per household for qualifying customers.
With the CWWAPP programs underway, the discontinuation of the moratorium, and SB 998 updates to our Shutoff procedures, Yuba City’s staff is prepared to resume shutoffs in a responsible manner for the health of the water and wastewater funds. Residents and landlords receive several mailings, a phone call to the number on record and City staff has created multi-language doorhangers to further inform residents about their delinquencies and urgency for payment to prevent Shutoffs. Additional SB 998 requirements placed on City staff before shutting off service include:
Adopt a written discontinuation policy containing certain information in several languages and posted on the City’s website;
Wait until an account is at least 60 days delinquent before initiating Shutoff protocol; A primary care provider has not certified that the Shutoff will pose a serious or potentially fatal threat to a resident;
The customer has not demonstrated the inability to pay; The customer is not willing to enter into an alternative payment agreement; Inform renters and mobile home residents about pending Shutoffs and provide the opportunity for said persons to become the ratepayer for their address; Posting the number of Shutoffs on the City website, annually.
These new rules are in addition to Shutoff rules existing prior to 2018. Staff has begun an initiative to ensure that all landlords are listed as additional bill recipients to help these owners comply with Municipal Code Section 6-6.10(g), which places the responsibility for utility bill payments solely on the property owners.

From: Administration Department
Presentation By: Diana Langley, City Manager
Summary
Subject: 60-Day Trial Program to Provide an Overnight Vehicle Parking Area for Homeless Individuals and Families at County-Owned Property Located at 850 Gray Avenue in Yuba City
Recommendation: Adopt a Resolution approving the establishment of a 60-day trial program to provide an overnight vehicle parking area for homeless individuals and families at County-owned property located at 850 Gray Avenue in Yuba City.
Fiscal Impact: $11,600 - Account No. 951281 (Permanent Local Housing Allocation Funding) The City's share of the 60-day trial program is anticipated to be $11,600. If the program continues, additional funds will need to be programmed in the FY 22/23 budget for ongoing operational costs.
Purpose:
To evaluate the extent and need for an overnight vehicle parking area for homeless individuals and families, and provide one specific area for people to park.
Council's Strategic Goal:
This addresses Council's Strategic Goals of Business Friendly, Public Safety, and Quality of Life.
Providing one secure location for overnight vehicle parking will reduce the number of "vehicle campers" in the parking lots of businesses and City streets.
Background:
The impacts of homelessness can be seen throughout Yuba City, Sutter County, and the state. Over the past few years, many organizations have collaborated together in the Yuba-Sutter area to provide resources to the homeless. Sutter County programs that have been implemented include construction of a homeless tent camping site on Second Street, the creation of the Better Way shelter, the Harmony Village HomeKey project which converted a hotel to housing, and collaboration with agencies such as the Regional Housing Authority, Habitat for Humanity, and the City to develop affordable housing such as the New Haven apartment complex.
One area that still needs to be addressed is "vehicle campers", which are individuals that use their
vehicles as living quarters and park on public streets and business parking lots. There is not a designated location where these vehicle campers can stay overnight, and these vehicles can be a nuisance for businesses and residents.
Analysis:
City staff have been working with County staff to evaluate several potential sites for vehicle campers, taking into consideration factors such as access, safety, proximity to residential neighborhoods, and set-up costs. To both evaluate the extent and need for a safe overnight parking area, Sutter County and City staff recommend a 60-day trial period for a safe overnight parking area located on Countyowned property at 850 Gray Avenue, more commonly known as the former K-Mart site.
The parking area would be located in an overhead-lighted area on the west side of the former K-mart building where approximately 17 parking spots currently exist. The parking area would operate from approximately 7:00 pm to 7:00 am each day, and a security guard would be present while vehicles are parked in the designated area. Vehicles must leave the property each morning and must have valid registration with the Department of Motor Vehicles. ADA restrooms and a handwashing station will be provided and located within the gated and locked outdoor area of the former K-mart property. A security camera, surveillance sign, flashlights and fire extinguishers will be supplied. Rules, similar to those at the overnight camping area on Second Street, will be posted.
The Yuba City Police Department and Sutter County Sheriff's Office will maximize parking enforcement within the community and direct vehicle campers to the trial area. Once the extent and need for overnight vehicle parking is determined, staff will bring recommendations for longer-term options to Council for consideration.
The Sutter County Board of Supervisors considered and approved the establishment of a 60-day trial program at their April 12, 2022, meeting. Should the trial program show the need for a more permanent site for an overnight vehicle parking area, staff will work with County staff to develop an agreement that outlines the responsibilities of each party as well as the location. Any such agreement will be presented to City Council for consideration.
Fiscal Impact:
The anticipated cost for the 60-day trial program is $23,200 which includes $18,600 for security guard services, and $4,600 for fencing, ADA restrooms, and a handwashing station. The operational costs are proposed to be split equally between the City and County. The City's share of $11,600 will be charged to Account No. 951281 (Permanent Local Housing Allocation Funding). In addition, it is anticipated that some funding will be required to assist disabled vehicles.
Alternatives:
Do not approve the establishment of the trial program and direct staff to work with Sutter County to develop alternative solutions.
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution approving the establishment of a 60-day trial program to provide an overnight vehicle parking area for homeless individuals and families at County-owned property located at 850 Gray Avenue in Yuba City.
