Pursuant to Public Contracts Code Section 22050(b)(1), the City Council delegated authority to the City Manager to order action pursuant to subparagraph (a)(1) of that section and directed the City Manager to undertake all steps necessary to have the well constructed without going through a formal competitive bidding process. Pursuant to Public Contracts Code Section 22050(b)(3), adoption of this resolution requires the City Manager to report back to the City Council at its next regular meeting setting forth the reasons justifying why the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from the formal competitive solicitation for bids for the well and why the action is necessary to respond to the emergency. Discussion: The reasons for the emergency were set forth in Resolution No.2009-12. These reasons continue to exist: 1) the State of Emergency declared by the Governor of California due to drought conditions, 2) recommendation to municipalities from Victoria Whitney, Deputy Director for Water Rights for the State of California Water Resources Control Board, that drought conditions may necessitate suspension of surface water rights this summer and to secure groundwater sources, 3) the time required to drill, develop, and construct a temporary connection from a new groundwater well into the City's water distribution system is not sufficient to comply with the noticing requirements of the Public Contracts Code formal bidding process. The date of the bid opening for construction of the Gobbi Street well head and pump house was June 18, 2009. The contractor mobilized their equipment on site on July 13. Substantial completion of this project was November 10th. The time required from the bid opening to substantial completion of the Gobbi Street well head and pump house was approximately five months.

In addition, the City Council under the Ukiah City Code may declare a Water Shortage Emergency as a Stage I, II or III emergency. At its meeting of April 15, 2009, the City Council adopted a RESOLUTION DECLARING A LOCAL EMERGENCY UNDER THE STATE EMERGENCY SERVICES ACT AND A STAGE I WATER SHORTAGE EMERGENCY UNDER SECTION 3602 THE UKIAH CITY CODE. (Attachment #1). The resolution contains recitals setting forth the drought conditions and the response to those conditions by the State, Mendocino County, the Sonoma County Water Agency and the State Water Resources Control Board which the resolution seeks to address. Please refer to those recitals for details. Subsequent to adoption of the resolution, City staff has responded further to the water shortage emergency by replying to the Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA) regarding actions that the City of Ukiah has taken, and will be taking, to address water conservation. Attachment #2 is a copy of that letter. The letter outlined actions that the City is taking, responded to SCWA's request for water use information, and included an outline of the City of Ukiah's water conservation program for 2009. As a result of the drought, the City Council has considered many different aspects of the water shortage issue. Under Council's direction, staff has implemented a series of water conservation and education measures. In addition, the City has a full time staff position dedicated to implementing these measures. Water demand has decreased by 20.8% from the 2008 quantities and 19.0% as compared to the 2004 quantities. Staff assumes that this is as a result of our conservation efforts. This will affect our revenues and staff is working on solutions for this issue as we analyze the fee study that is currently being prepared by an outside consulting firm. Developments from the SWRCB On May 28, 2009, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) issued an amendment to Order WR 2009-0027-DWR, Order WR 2009-0034-EXEC. The amended order conditionally approves Sonoma County Water Agency's (SCWA) petition to reduce the flow in the Russian River from July 6 through October 2, 2009 to 25 cubic feet per second (cfs) for the upper Russian River and 35 cfs for the lower Russian River if during Continued on page 2 Recommended Action: 1.

The amended order confirms a water conservation goal for Mendocino County of 50% (compared to 2004) from April 6, 2009 until the expiration of this order (October 2, 2009), "By May 6, 2009, SCWA shall submit a plan to the State Water Resources Control Board to obtain the cooperation and participation of agricultural and municipal Russian River water user to reach a water conservation goal of 25 percent in Sonoma County and 50 percent in Mendocino County for the period of April 6, 2009 until the expiration of this order (October 2, 2009). The amended order modified the original order issued on April 6, 2009. From July 6 through October 2, 2009, minimum in-stream flow shall remain at or above 25 cfs, if Lake Mendocino storage is less than 65,630 acre feet on July 1, 2009 (instead of total inflow to Lake Mendocino less than or equal to 25,000 acre-feet). On October 27, 2009 the County of Mendocino Water Agency discussed the current water storage situation in the Ukiah Valley. The discussion led to the consideration of repealing the County emergency order for all water purveyors to limit water usage by 50%. The Agency was not comfortable with the language in the repealing order as prepared by staff and requested staff to bring the order back for adoption at the next regularly scheduled meeting. On November 3, 2009 the County of Mendocino retracted the 50% conservation requirement. However, the Board of Supervisors recommended that each water district strive to achieve 25% conservation on a voluntary basis. The City of Ukiah in the coming weeks must consider how to address this voluntary request by the County of Mendocino. Updated Staff Actions Staff has continually monitored this issue in response to the City Council concerns about this emergency and the length of time that it has been in effect. On December 16, 2009 City Council repealed the mandatory water rationing, however, Stage I voluntary rationing is still in place. The lake storage has been steady since the middle of January and is now 104,285 acre-feet. However, the state is predicting a dry year so staff recommends the continuation of the voluntary conservation measures. It should be noted that the construction of the Oak Manor Well (well #8) is proceeding at a fast pace and it is anticipated that this well will be on line by the middle of summer. Regional Issues City Staff is also monitoring the Draft Ukiah Valley Area Plan Water Supply Assessment report. Many of the local valley water purveyors are concerned with this report. It is hoped and presumed that the Board of Supervisors will direct county staff to address some of the issues that have been submitted. The Request for Proposal (RFP) for the master plan for reclaimed water has been drafted and reviewed by the City Council. Staff has been meeting with stake holders for this system, as directed by Council. Staff has incorporating comments from all stakeholders and is taking the draft RFP to the City Council on July 7, 2010 for the Council's approval. ATTACHMENT-_L_ RESOLUTION NO. 2009-17 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UIGAH DECLARING A LOCAL EMERGENCY PURSUANT TO THE EMERGENCY SERVICES ACT AND A STAGE I WATER EMERGENCY UNDER SECTION 3602 OF TIM UI0AH CITY CODE WHEREAS, 1. Lake Mendocino and the Russian River are one current source of water for the City of Ukiah and the primary source of water for other domestic and agricultural users of water in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties; and 2. Average rainfall through March for the area contributing run-off to Lake Mendocino is 42 inches and the rainfall total through March 2009 is 23 inches; and 3. There have been below average rainfall and reduced storage in Lake Mendocino in 2004, 2007 and 2008; and 4. Average rainfall for April - June is 4.8 inches; and • 5. Even average rainfall for the remainder of the rainy season cannot compensate for the extremely low rainfall this year, and 6. `Lake Mendocino held approximately 53,000 acre feet on April 1, 2009, with a Lake level of 727.63 feet; and 7. The average Lake storage in April is 84,448 acre feet, the Lake storage in April 2007 was 66,617 acre feet and the average Lake storage in October is 55,854 acre feet, more water at the end of the dry summer season than is currently stored in the Lake; and 8. The historically low water storage level in Lake Mendocino this year is part of a statewide water shortage caused by inadequate rainfall which has prompted Governor Schwarzenegger to declare a statewide emergency under the Emergency Services Act due to these drought conditions; and 9. Mendocino County has declared a local emergency due to drought conditions under the Emergency Services Act; and 10. On April 6, 2009, the State Water Resources Control Board ("SWRCB") has approved an Urgency Change Petition filed by the Sonoma County Water Agency C SCWA") to reduce in-stream flows in the Russian: River to 75 cfs from April 6-Tune 30, 2009 and to as low as 25 efs for the period July 1-October 2, 2009, if cumulative total inflow to Lake Mendocino is equal to or less than 25,000 acre feet for the period April 1 -June 30, 2009; and 11. The order approving temporary changes to the minimum in-stream flows required by the appropriative rights permits issued to SCWA is subject to several conditions, including a condition requiring the SCWA to submit a plan by May 6, 2009, to the SWRCB to "obtain the cooperation and participation of agricultural and municipal Russian River water users to reach a water conservation goal of 25 percent: in Sonoma County and 50 percent in. Mendocino County for the period of April 6, 2009 until the expiration of this order (October 2, 2009)"; and 12. A local emergency under the California Emergency Services Act (Government Code §8550 et seq.) is defined in Section 8558(c) as the duly proclaimed existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the territorial 'limits of the City caused by such conditions as drought which are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of individual local governments and which require the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat; and 13. The historically low rainfall and water storage in Lake Mendocino qualifies as a local emergency under the statutory definition; and 14. In a declared local emergency, local agencies may provide'mutual aid as needed pursuant to agreements or resolutions, state agencies may provide mutual aid to local agencies pursuant to agreement or at the direction ofthe Governor, costs incurred by the City in providing mutual aid pursuant to agreements or resolution constitute a charge against the state, when approved by the Governor in accordance with adopted regulations, and the City Council may promulgate orders and regulations for the duration of the emergency to provide protection for life and property (see Government Code 8631-86-34),• and ~i 15. In a declared local emergency, the City Council must review the state of the emergency not less than every 21 days after first declaring the emergency; and 16. Under Uldah City Code Section 3602, the City Council may by resolution declare a water emergency, specify the degree of emergency and place into effect the appropriate provisions of Division 4, Chapter 1, Article 11 of the Ukiah City Code pertaining to a Water Shortage Emergency; and 17. In a Stage I water emergency the Mayor shall issue a proclamation urging citizens to institute such water conservation measures on a voluntary basis as maybe required to reduce water demand to coincide with available supply; and 18. The City Council has already authorized the development of a groundwater well on an emergency basis to provide the City with an additional water source this summer that does not rely on the Russian River or water stored in Lake Mendocino; and 19. Stage II and III water emergencies impose various mandatory conservation measures on City residents, including a prohibition on "nonessential water use" in a Stage H water emergency and a limit on the daily use of water by different classes of water user in a Stage III emergency; and 20, The City can declare a Stage II or Stage 11 emergency, if voluntary measures or less sever mandatory measures does not achieve an adequate reduction in the use of Russian River water or in water use generally to meet the available supply; NOW, i ERE FORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby: 1. Declares a local emergency due to drought under the Emergency Service Act. 2. Declares a Stage I Water Storage Emergency under Ukiah City Code Section 3602. 3. Directs the City Manager: a. to identify and encourage the use as a Russian River water user of voluntary measures to reach a water conservation goal of 50 percent for the period of April 6, 2009 to October 2, 2009 {"Conservation Period"), and to report back to the City Council at each City Council meeting field during that same time period on the measures identified, the means used to encourage their use, the amount of water use reduction, and the status of the emergency conditions; - b. to notify the City Council, if the City Manager determines that a Stage I .Water Emergency is not reducing water use to match the available supply and to recommend a Stage H or TIT emergency, if necessary to achieve that level of water use; c, at City Council meetings during the Conservation Period to recommend temporary rules or orders to supplement or modify mandatory conservation measures in a Stage II or III Water Storage Emergency to reduce water use to the available supply and to achieve the conservation goals in Order'WR 2009-0027-DWR issued by the Division. of Water Rights of the State Water Resources Control Board c. to work with other local governments in the County, including the incorporated cities and county water districts, to preserve as much water as possible for use during the dry summer months and for the fall return of Chinook Salmon to the Russian River; and d. to coordinate mutual aid efforts to address the local emergency between and among political subdivisions in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties and state agencies.

Box 11628 Santa Rosa, CA 95406 Dear Ms. Florey; This letter is written in response to your letter dated April 17, 2009. 1 do not lcnow when your letter was received by the City of Ukiah, but it arrived-at our water treatment plant rather than in my office at City Hall. The letter was just brought to my attention late yesterday. I had been expecting a request to respond to Sonoma County Water Agency for information related to the State Water Resources Control Board's ruling, and, therefore, am making an effort to meet your deadline of today's date. In future, it would be helpful if you could copy and/or address critical dated correspondence about these current drought conditions directly to my office, as that will assist us in malting timely replies. Attached, please find the diversion volumes information requested in your letter. You will see that overall annual water use since 2004 has been reduced by 11.4%. Water use in the months of April through October has been reduced since.2004 by 13%. Diversion volume during the months April through October has also been reduced, for some 25% between 2004 and 2007, and 16% between 2004 and 2008 use. Reduced use over the last few years is a result of the City's commitment to institute conservation measures in both the irrigation and domestic use of water in our community. Attached please find the City of Ukiah's Water Conservation Program which outlines current activities the City is taking to address water conservation. With regard to immediate drought related conditions, here are some technical and rate related factors that the City of Ukiah must deal with as the summer and high irrigation use time approaches: The City's water supply is obtained from a Ranney collector well and Wells #3 and A. The Ranney and Well #3 draw water from an alluvial zone along the Russian River. The pumping capacity of both the Ranney collector and Well #3 are affected by the amount of flow in the river. If that water is not available during this summer, the only source of water available as of this date will be Well #4, which is percolated groundwater. • On February 27, 2009 Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a water shortage. On February 26, 2009, the City received a letter from Victoria A. 300 SEMINARY AVENUE UKIAH, CA 85482-5400 Phone# 707/463-6200 Fax# 7071463-6204 Web Address: www ollyofuhlah.corn City staff' is actively seeking stimulus funding for a system to deliver recycled water from the City's wastewater treatment plant. At the current time, it is anticipated that the wastewater treatment plant could begin to produce recycled water by August of 2009. A distribution system is under design and plans will be developed within the next few months. Funding for this important resource delivery project will be explored from all possible resources, as the City fully recognizes the value of using recycled water to lower the demand for surface water in our area. Although a recycled water distribution system cannot be in place for this summer, the City will pursue developing this resource. With regard to efforts to identify and prevent water waste and unreasonable use: Typical water waster penalties include, in the order' implemented: 1. Educational letter or visit 2. Educational visit and warning 3. Citation 4. Installation of flow restrictor and possible fine 5. Shutoff and reconnection fee The City will identify water wasters through monitoring the water meters and citizen reports. In closing, please review all aspects of the attached conservation measures and water use detail in addressing the four questions of your letter, in addition to the specific issues addressed in the above bullet points. Please call me at 707- 463- 62`13 if you have questions regarding this information. Sincerely, ?an;e A. Chambers Manager Attachments: 1. City of Ukiah Water Use 2.

Water Conservation Program 2009 The unpredictability of its water supplies and ever increasing demand on California's complex water resources have resulted in a coordinated effort by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), water utilities, environmental organizations, and other interested groups to develop a list of urban water conservation demand management measures (DMM) for conserving water. This consensus building effort resulted in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California, as amended September 16, 1999, among parties, which formalizes an agreement to implement these DMMs and makes a cooperative effort to reduce the consumption of California's water resources. The MOU is administered' by the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC). The DMMs as defined in the MOU are generally recognized as standard definitions of water conservation measures. 1. CUWCC Demand Management Measures Implemented The existing conservation The City of Ukiah has had a water conservation program in place since the late 1l970's. During. the past five years, the City has expanded its program and public outreach. The City reduced the amount of water it used by over 9.3% In 2007 and 11.4% in 2008 compared to 2004. Currently, the City's conservation program includes the following DMMs: DMM 1. Water survey programs for single-family residential and multi-family residential connections. The City tests customer meters upon request and Instructs customers in how to use their water meter to determine if there is a leak on the demand side of the meter. The City provides toilet leak detection tablets to customers. DMM 3, System water audits; leak detection, and repair. The City performs leak detection and repair on an ongoing basis. The City, also, calculates system Water losses annually and reports this information to DWR. DMM 4. Metering with commodity rates for all new connections and retrofit of existing connections. The City water distribution system is fully metered. The City is currently replacing old meters in the system. The new meters will provide a more accurate reading of water use within the City. The City recently went through a rate re.structuring that is believed will reduce water uses in the future. DMM S. Large landscape conservation programs and incentives. The City's Planning Department reviews all landscape plans proposed for new developments. Included In the City's Municipal Code is a requirement for all landscape planting to be "those which grow well in Ukiah's climate without extensive irrigation." City staff reviews the water use of its top 5 water users and holds meetings with them on a regblar basis to discuss landscape conservation programs. DMM 7. Public information programs. The City believes public awareness of Water conservation issues is an important factor In ensuring a reliable water supply. The City promotes public awareness of water conservation through occasional bill stuffers, distribution of the Consumer Confitlence Report, radio broadcasts, newspaper articles, the City of Ukiah's "Activity and Recreation Guide", distribution of brochures and additional Information. at local expositions and fairs, and on the City website advertisedto the community on a banner across a City thoroughfare. The City also provides free of charge water conservation yard signs to encourage minimal use of water for lawn irrigation. Water conservation information and assistance is routinely provided to the public by the water utility maintenance. staff and meter readers while In the field. Field staff receives conservation training to better assist customers and promote conservation. Door hangers are used to remind customers of Ukiah's Voluntary Water Conservation Program measures and to provide notice of problems with outdoor water use. DMM 8. School education programs. City staff presents information on water conservation to elementary school children in the classroom. The City offers local schools tours of Its water treatment plant and also provides educational materials. Four science classes on public water supply at the high school are offered once a year. DMM 9. Conservation programs for commercial, industrial, and institutional accounts. The City has only two industrial customers: Maverick Industries and Red Tail Ale Brewery. The City surveys the water usage of these Industries. Any new commercial, industrial, or institutional developments will be reviewed by the City Planning Department and must meet all requirements of the Municipal Code. DMM 11. Conservation pricing. In 2005, the City increased and re-structured its water rates to encourage more conservation. The City has simplified its rate structure by eliminating rate codes and classifying customers according to their meter size. The new rate structure incorporates the American Water Works Association (AWWA) demand capacity guidelines so that price increases across meter size in proportion to the potential demand a customer can piece on the water system. DMM 12, Conservation Coordinator. The City's Conservation Coordinator is essential to sustaining and Improving Ukiah's ongoing water conservation program. The conservation coordinator is responsible for implementing and monitoring the City's water conservation activities. In practice, the City's water conservation program includes the efforts of the Conservation Coordinator and all staff. DMilll 13. Water waste prohibition. The City has adopted regulations that state in part:. "Where negligent or wasteful use of water exists on a customer's premises ...the City may discontinue the service..." (City Municipal Code Article 7, Section 3571). The City first sends customers a fetter calling their attention to the wasteful practice and asking for correction. If the condition is not corrected within five days after the written notice, service may be discontinued if necessary. DMM 14. Residential ULFT replacement programs. Since October 1992, the sate of toilets using more than 1.6 gallons per flush has been prohibited by State and Federal regulations. These regulations are enforced in the City. 11. Additional Water Conservation Measures in addition to the DMMs, the City has also taken the following actions: 1. Installation of five waterless urinals In the Ukiah Civic `Center to support and promote the use of waterless urinals in all City facilities and in the public sector. The use of these urinals has received very positive feedback from Facilities staff who would like to install these in the Ukiah Valley Conference Center. 2. Cooperative water conservation programs have been developed between the City and the Mendocino County Water Agency, the Russian River Public Water Agencies, and the Sonoma County Water.Agency. 3. The Ukiah City Council adopted the Ahwahnee Water Principles on April 4, 2007. The Principles contain ideas for protecting and enhancing water quality, improving water evailabilltyr making more efficient use of water, and conserving water as a scarce resource. The Principles suggest a process for improving decision-making as It Impacts water-related issues. The City Council reviewed the principles and determined the ideas and suggestions promote the Council's stated gods. Ill. Future Water Conservation Activities The City has recently undertaken a rate and revenue study of Its water utility. A tiered inclining block rate structure and excess use charge are being evaluated to-encourage water conservation. The City has submitted a pre-application to the State Water Resources Control Board State Revolving Fund to construct a recycled water system. The City's Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvement Project is scheduled to be completed by June 2009. After the project is completed, the plant will be capable of producing.2 million gallons per day (MGD) in the summer and up to 7.5 MGD In the winter of Title 22 unrestricted use recycled water.. Other immediate and long-tern conservailon measures include: - • installation of waterless urinals and dual flush toilets in all City buildings (immediate) Sign the California Urban Water Conservation Council's Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation and implement the 14 best management practices (long term) • Water efficiency standards. for new single-family development (longterm) • Water: efliclent landscaping (long term) • Water waste ordinance prohibiting: (immediate) i, gutterflooding 2, carwash fundralsers 3. nbn-recycling decorative water fountains 4. breaks or leaks in the water delivery system • Incentives far Retrofits (long term) i. low flow shower heads 2, toilet displacement devices 3, toilet flappers 4. faucet aerators 5. high effciencywashing machines 6. ultra-IoW flow toilets C~txy af'?1~aFt ITEM NO.: 7h MEETING DATE: AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT July 7, 2010 SUBJECT: NOTIFICATION TO CITY COUNCIL OF THE PURCHASE OF ANNUAL SCADA SYSTEM MAINTENANCE CONTRACT FOR THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT TO RISUN TECHNOLOGIES FOR A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED $9600.00 Background: Section 1522 of the Municipal Code requires a report to the City Council of purchases from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00. In accordance with the above-mentioned section, this Report is submitted to the City Council The Supervisory Control and Automated Data Acquisition (SCADA) system at the Wastewater Treatment Plant serves as the interface between the equipment and the Operators at the facility. It provides for control of Plant processes and is the means for continuous monitoring, recordkeeping, and archiving of process data, much of which is compiled into periodic reports required by regulatory authorities. Being a computer-based system occasional software issues arise, and as the facility is approaching its first full year of full operation, the need to fine-tune the system remains. Discussion: During the recent upgrade of the facility, RiSun Technologies implemented the design of the SCADA system and integrated the software, process instrumentation, and computer hardware into a unified operating system. Their engineers and technicians have unique knowledge of the system gained through this experience and have a proven ability to work with City staff. They have agreed to provide continuing support in the form of an annual Maintenance Agreement.

(EUD) Background: The City of Ukiah Electric Utility Department is a publicly-owned utility (POU) that provides reliable electric service to its customers from an energy resource portfolio predominantly containing renewable green electric resources. On September 29, 2006 California Assembly Bill 2021 ("AB2021 Section 25310 of the Public Resources Code, was signed into law. AB2021 required that on or before June 1, 2007, and every three years thereafter, POUs are to identify all potentially achievable cost effective electricity efficiency savings and establish annual targets for energy efficiency savings and demand reduction for the next 10 year period, and to report those targets to the California Energy Commission ("CEC"). On September 19, 2007 the City's current energy efficiency program targets were established as outlined in City Council Resolution 2007-32 as follows: Energy Savings Potential (MWh) = 1,979 Demand Reduction Potential (kW) = 195 Discussion: Northern California Power Agency ("NCPA"), a joint powers agency and the Southern California Public Power Authority ("SCPPA") retained Summit Blue Consulting, LLC to develop a computer model and conduct analytical work to develop energy efficiency targets for member utilities. The individual targets adopted by each utility member will be collected by NCPA and SCPPA and then submitted to the CEC. The model, called the California Publicly Owned Utility Energy Efficiency Resource Assessment Model ("CalEERAM"), is based on the integration of demand side management measure impacts and costs, utility customer characteristics, utility load forecasts, utility avoided costs, and rate schedules. It is also directly linked to the current California Energy Commission report tool, ENEE, an energy efficiency spreadsheet so as to capture the most recent deemed energy savings, measure costs, and avoided cost estimates. The CalEERAM model for the City produced the following cumulative targets by 2020: Continued on Page 2 Recommended Action(s): Adoption of Resolution establishing the City's revised Energy and Efficiency Demand Program targets and rescind Resolution 2007-03 dated September 19, 2007. (EUD) Alternative Council Option(s): Adopt the higher Summit Blue recommended program targets and risk not meeting our goals. Citizens advised: N/A Requested by: Prepared by: Mel Grandi, Electric Utility Director Coordinated with: Jane Chambers, City Manager Attachments: Resolution Energy Efficiency Program Targets Approved: r Janet/ ambers, City Manager V Subject: Energy and Efficiency Meeting Date: 7/7/10 Page 2 of 2 • Energy Savings Potential (MWh) = 7,024 • Demand Reduction Potential (kW) = 1,908 This represents an increase of 355% compared to the previous 10 year energy savings targets. A summary of the technical, economic and market potential by customer class is attached. The market potential goals represent the feasible energy efficiency savings that Summit Blue's analysis determined can be achieved by the City. The City has the flexibility to accept the energy savings targets recommended by Summit Blue, or to modify them either up or down. Staff recommends that the City adopts energy saving targets that represent approximately twice the previous 10 year energy savings targets. While this is less than the targets recommended by Summit Blue, Staff is recommending that we set reasonable, achievable targets, and then strive to "over deliver" on the amount of energy savings achieved. At this point, it is unclear what level of CEC scrutiny and possible questioning will result by reducing the City's energy efficiency targets compared to Summit Blue's recommendations. However, Staff suggests that it is better to set reasonable, achievable targets and over-deliver, as opposed to adopting highly aggressive energy saving targets, and not achieving them. The energy saving targets that Staff is recommending Council approve are: Energy Potential (MWh) = 4,045 Demand Potential (kW) = 1,100 Unlike the previous targets established for 2008 - 2016, the Summit Blue model does not produce a static annual target over the period of 2011 - 2020. The model assesses the energy savings potential and demand reduction potential for each year, based on assumption of participation rates, utility load forecasts etc., producing a curve that shows overall increasing potential with each future year. The energy savings targets that Staff is recommending for Council approval include a 36% increase over previous targets over the course of the first 3 years (2011 - 2013) of the 10 year period. The Council will have the opportunity to adopt new 10 year targets prior to 2014. Staff recommends the City Council adopt these energy efficiency program targets as recommended by Staff and authorize NCPA to submit them to the CEC. FISCAL EVIPACT: The existing state-mandated Public Benefit Program fund collected from the City's electric utility customers will provide the funds necessary to achieve these energy efficiency targets.

The draft agreement or amendment could include sale, lease or other holding arrangements. Since that meeting, staff has been engaged with C and S Waste Solutions in discussions. These discussions have produced an understanding on both parties part, of the steps needed to move forward with exploration of use of the landfill and have also identified a number of items that need to be addressed in the contractual agreements between the City and its hauler. Discussion: The business of solid waste management is changing rapidly. New waste disposal methods, business structures, environmental concerns, and the impact of current economic conditions all must be accounted for in the continuing relationship with the hauler, and in the best interest of Ukiah rate payers long term. These issues all need to be part of the discussion about use of the landfill in order to fully evaluate long term cost/benefit to a new use of the landfill. What has emerged is a need to move forward with the following steps: 1) A new "gate rate" at the Transfer Station is needed immediately. The hauler is experiencing a significant shortfall in revenue at this site due to a number of factors that are beyond the haulers ability to control, including the significant reduction in the waste stream experienced due to the economic downturn. The steep reduction of waste flow related to construction materials is just one example. The hauler's financial losses at the Transfer Station will ultimately threaten the vitality of the hauler's business overall if not addressed. 2) A change in the "gate rate" at the Transfer Station impacts the curb-side rate for customers, and triggers a need for rate adjustment. The contract with the hauler for curb-side pick-up provides for a Continued on Paae 2 Recommended Action(s): Receive report Alternative Council Option(s): Citizens advised: Requested by: Prepared by: Jane Chambers, City Manager Coordinated with: Attachments: Approved: Ja a Chambers, City Manager 3 year cycle of rate review, with October 2010 scheduled as the next appropriate time for new rates to be initiated. 3) Both the City and the Hauler need to find a solution to long term solid waste disposal. There are several opportunities to provide for this long term solution, and each must be fully explored before asking the City Council to make a decision that will affect the rate payers for the next 20 years or more. Re-opening of the landfill is one of the possibilities, but there are others. Both staff and the hauler need the time, and the mechanism, to allow for this exploration. Both parties now anticipate that the right solution can be found in a process that includes a number of explorations and analysis, and that it is best to take the time necessary to accomplish this work. 4) The existing contracts with the hauler, both for operation of the Transfer Station on Taylor Drive, and for curbside collection, do not reflect some current business issues and solid waste best practices, in this rapidly changing industry. It has become apparent in discussions that drafting new agreements may be in the best interests of both parties. Staff is in the process of preparing a rate review in order to ask the City Council to consider approval of a new "Gate Rate", and authorization of a Proposition 218 process, in order to address the immediate revenue shortfall being experienced by the hauler, and in keeping with the 3 year rate review process provided for in the current agreements. It is anticipated that staff will meet with the Council's Solid Waste Ad/Hoc as part of the rate review process, prior to scheduling this item for full Council consideration. As of this writing, it appears that new curbside rates will require only a modest dollar value increase, perhaps under $1 per month for many users. The Finance Director, and the City's consultant who were part of the previous negotiations that created the current agreements, will be conducting the rate review. Staff is hopeful this work can be completed in time for Council consideration at its regular August 4 meeting. If not, it will occur at a later date. Time is of the essence in order to address the shortfall of revenues being experienced by the hauler. As a part of the 3 year rate adjustment, the hauler has indicated a willingness to undertake the expense and effort to explore re-opening of the landfill as a long term solution for Ukiah's solid waste, and city staff has indicated a willingness to work with the hauler to explore other solutions as well. It is anticipated that within the next 12-18 months, options will emerge from this effort that can be presented to the City Council and other stakeholders, for a long term solid waste disposal plan. When these options have emerged, or as part of the exploration, drafting of new agreements can then take place that will reflect both the current best practices and best practices going forward. It is clear in our discussions so far, that the City and the hauler need to work together in partnership, in order to assure that rate payers receive the best service for the least cost as new technologies and new practices are put into place in the area of solid waste disposal. This report has been provided to advise the City Council of the status of these important negotiations.

During the public comment several people representing different agencies spoke to the effect that they felt the draft RFP was not inclusive of the City and the surrounding Ukiah Valley. As a result of this discussion the Council directed staff to send the draft to any agencies that may have comment or may be affected. Staff sent the RFP to the following Agencies: 1. Inland Water and Power Commission 2. Ukiah Valley Sanitation District 3. Mendocino County Farm Bureau 4. Russian River Flood Control & Water Conservation Improvement District 5. Willow Water District 6. Hopland PUD 7. Millview County Water District 8. Mendocino County Water Agency 9. Redwood Valley County Water District We have received comments from two agencies. The comments are attached. These comments are presented to the Council for discussion. Staff intends to incorporate the majority of both the suggestions in these attachments and present the final RFP to the Council at the August 4t" meeting.

In general, the District is very appreciative of the City's willingness to formally initiate the development of a recycled water system. However the District believes that in order to maximize the opportunities offered by recycled water, the RFP needs to explicitly encourage the consultants to consider the potential benefits of a recycled water plan that includes the greater Ukiah Valley. By including regions such as Hopland and Redwood Valleys, the project would have the opportunity to incorporate additional recycled water supplies (e.g. the treatment plants in Hopland and Calpella), maximize opportunities for large scale use, and create a large and diverse rate base. Building a broad coalition of interest and entities could offset costs to the City and its rate payers, as well as greatly improve the opportunities for securing outside funding for construction. As a long-time advocate for the use of recycled water, the District would like to thank you for the opportunity to provide comment on this precedent-setting RFP. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions of comments regarding this issue. Our specific/technical comments are provided in the attachment. Sincerely, S hite General Manager President rice President Treasurer Trustee Trustee Lee Howard Judy Hatch Bill Townsend Paul Zellman Richard Shoemaker ATTACHMENT MCRRFC&WCID Comments on the Draft Request for Proposals Engineering Services for Recycled Water Master Plan Section II (C) - This section mentions several "first phase" recycled water projects but does not discuss existing agricultural demand immediately adjacent to the VW. The. District has had discussions with adjacent landowners and all have expressed a desire to use recycled water. In addition, the District and CLSI partnered to secure $53M in Agricultural. Water Enhancement Program (AWEP) funds. A portion of these fiends is designated to help facilitate the agricultural use of recycled water in Mendocino, Sonoma, and Napa Counties. AWEP dollars can be used to cost share the construction of recycled water storage, pumps, valving and connections at approximately 50%. The RFP should apprise the consultants of these willing users as well as the existence of existing grant funding to facilitate the construction of recycled water services to agricultural lands. Section III- This section directs the consultant to "develop recycled water uses in the City..." As stated in our cover letter, the District strongly believes that the RFP should explicitly encourage the consultant to consider a regional approach to recycled water planning. This section also includes a list of potential stakeholders that does not include the District. The District would like to formally request to be included as a stakeholder. Section IV, Task 1, Subtask 1.1- The District already has an Access data base that was developed by the Hopland UC Field Extension for all users within the District. Our existing database has fields 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 as well as other fields not listed in the RFP such as crop type and parcel size. The District would be willing to share this expandable database with the City and its consultants. This should reduce costs and ensure cross- agency compatibility. The District believes that adding a field that considers "season of use" to be vitally important. Determining the seasonality of demand will be critical for temporally nesting use, avoiding demand conflicts, and maximizing supply. Section IV, Task 1, Subtask 1.2, a. - This section should inform consultants of the rail easement adjacent to the WRF. The District believes that the existing rail easement will be a key component of any recycled water system for the Ukiah area. Section IV, Task 2- The District believes that this task should also direct the consultant to consider issues regarding optimal scaling as well as the potential for certain designs and/or alignments to involve/include potential cost-sharing partners. Section IV, Task 2, Subtask 2.1- The District believes that this subtask should also direct the consultant to consider issues regarding regulatory flexibility (e.g. jurisdiction vs. non jurisdictional water) as well as potential environmental benefits of offset use. Section IV, Task 7 - The District believes that this subtask should also direct the consultant to consider issues regarding the potential for cost sharing as well a existing grant funding (i.e., AWEP). Section IX. - The District would appreciate an opportunity to be a member of the Selection Committee. UKIAH VALLEY SANITATION DISTRICT RICK KENNEDY 387 North State Street, Suite 101 District Manager/Clerk Ukiah, California 95482 TELEPHONE AND FAX: (707) 462-4429 EMAIL ADDRESS:UKIAHVALLEYSD@ATT.NET May 19, 2010 Mr. Tim Eriksen Director of Public Works 300 Seminary Avenue Ukiah, CA 95482 Re: Response/ Comments to Recycled Water Master Plan RFP Mr. Eriksen: WEB SITE ukiahvalleysd.com The Board of Directors wish to thank the City Council once again for delaying the issuance of the RFP for the Recycled Water Master Plan until the stakeholders had an opportunity to provide comment to the RFP and we thank you for including the UVSD as a stakeholder. As I stated in my letter to Jane Chambers dated April 21, 2010, copy enclosed, I believe the RFP to be very limited in scope regarding the potential first phase project areas listed under Conceptual Recycled Water Service Areas; the two potential sites were City Facilities, the Airport and the future Riverside Park. As a reminder, the developers of Gardens Gate Subdivision had expressed their interest in utilizing recycled water for landscaping purposes. Also, I believe Caltrans is required to use recycled water for landscaping within highway/freeway corridors if it is available and the 101 freeway corridor may be a potential route for the recycled water distribution pipeline. I have enclosed comments which came my way from a Consultant who has considerable experience in the recycled water industry and I believe the comments to be very appropriate and useful. You may want to consider incorporating them into the RFP. Since the District shares in the cost to impound and tertiary treat the treated water which will become recycled water, I am asking that you consider including me as a member of the Consultant Selection Committee. Again, thank you for the opportunity to comment. Sincerely, Rick Kennedy District Manager/ Clerk BOARD OF DIRECTORS KENT PORTER CLIFFORD PAULIN MICHAEL PALLESEN DIRECTOR CHAIR VICE-CHAIR JAMES RONCO THERESA MCNERLIN DIRECTOR DIRECTOR COMMENTS ON THE UKIAH RECYCLED WATER DRAFT RFP Add a task to define the project study area and document the existing water/wastewater & recycled water conditions. This is needed for two reasons: (1) the background of the RFP indicates that the City will grow as it annexes land within the Sphere of Influence and (2) Subtask 1.3 in the Draft RFP was likely included in the daft RFP because of the SWRCB Facilities Planning Grant. The Facilities Plan Guidelines require this information to be documented. (See attachment A, "Recommended Planning Outline For Water Recycling Projects" below). We are suggesting a reorganization of the Draft RFP (see comment 3 below). 2. The Market Assessment should be done before the GIS model is built because the pipeline alignments will depend upon the information gathered in the market assessment (i.e., potential customers and demands). Note, however, that a Market Assessment can be done several ways DEPENDING ON THE STUDY OBJECTIVES. It is important for the regional partners to define in the RFP what they are trying to accomplish and what specific answers to questions they want to hear. Does the market look at only irrigation? Ag? CII? Homeowners? How much water supply do they want to create or offset? What amount of discharge do they want to eliminate and if so when during the year is most important? They could do an initial market assessment at a high level of the various options, and then do a more focused assessment on the most likely targets. Ultimately, the market needs to be verified and the outreach and communications work needs to be initiated with the City Council, other community thought leaders, in advance of the market assessment initiation. This way, people are not surprised by any public outcry. The RFP indicates an immediate focus on two customers: the airport and Riverside Park as "first phase customers" but does not mention later phases. There is a mention of Large Ag Irrigators and Development Interests as being stakeholders, so the longer range vision includes ag and landscape irrigation. 3. Make the GIS Protocol part of the Market Assessment task. The organization then becomes: Task 1: Define Study Area and Existing Conditions Subtask 1.1: Define Study Area [NEW SUBTASK] Define the study area for the use of recycled water. This should include a phased approach to implementing a recycled water program and define "immediate" and "expanded" service areas. This task includes meeting with City and associated local agencies (Ukiah Valley Sanitation District, Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Hopland PUD, Capella, Redwood Valley, etc) to understand priorities and viability of serving recycled water within the City of Ukiah and in unincorporated areas outside City limits. Subtask 1.2: Document Existing Conditions related to Water, Wastewater, and Recycled Water in the Study Area [this was listed as Subtask 1.3 in Draft REP] Task 2: Market Assessment Subtask2.1: Develop GISprotocol Subtask 2.2: Define Criteria for Identifying Users Subtask 2.3: Locate Users Subtask 2.4: User Contact & Documentation (in conjunction with Task 6) Task 3: Lifecycle Costing Methodology Task 4: Hydraulic Model Development Task 5: Alternative development and Analysis Task 6: Public Involvement Program Task 7: Master Plan Task 8: Funding Task 9: Facilities Plan 4. It looks as if the draft RFP is worded so as to apply for a Facilities Planning Grant from the SWRCB. If that's the case, Task 7 should be called a "Feasibility Study" not a "Master Plan." This is due to how the SWRCB executes the facilities planning grant program. 5. Task 4: Consider changing the last sentence to read "...provide rationale behind selecting each alternative, and propose the lowest cost and/or most cost-effective alternative for consideration." This allows considering the project that gets them the biggest bang for the buck, not simply the lowest cost alternative. Cost effectiveness is defined as a measure of a project's financial cost or dollars per acre-foot per year. 6. Similarly, if a planning grant is part of the City's plan, the RFP should be clearer in stating that one project will be recommended. Consider deleting the last 2 sentences of Subtask 4.4, and adding a Subtask to the "Alternative Development and Analysis" task: Subtask 4.5: Develop Recommended Project [this would be Subtask 5.5 if the RFP is reorganized as suggested above] The Consultant shall conduct a workshop with the City (and associated regional agencies) to choose a single recommended project. The recommended project will be chosen based on the alternatives analysis performed as Subtasks 4.1 through 4.4, including the overall project cost, the lifecycle cost, and cost effectiveness for each project alternative, as well as customer interest in recycled water use. 7. If a planning grant is part of the City's plan, there are many specific items that are required as part of the Final Facilities Plan. These items are contained in Attachment A ("Recommended Planning Outline For Water Recycling Projects" below). This could possibly be included as an appendix to the RFP or incorporated into the language of the RFP. Some items are already included in the RFP, but not all. Some specifics that are missing from the RFP are (this is not an exhaustive list): o Additional information to be included on GIS figures o Groundwater basin information within the study area o Wastewater characteristics and facilities o Evaluating non-recycled water alternatives, conservation, and "no project" alternative o User letters of intent or commitment to use recycled water o Draft "Mandatory Use Ordinance" or "Draft Model User Contract" Attachment A RECOMMENDED PLANNING OUTLINE FOR WATER RECYCLING PROJECTS This facilities planning report outline emphasizes the information relevant to water recycling and its application for water supply purposes.

Summary: As part of the Measure X Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Performance Agreement with the City of Ukiah, the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce will be at the meeting to present a report on the past year's activities. As required by the agreement, the Chamber's TOT written report and financials are included as Attachment #1 for review. In addition, the City Council will have an opportunity to review the 2010 Calendar Year Work Plan and consider approval of the corresponding performance agreement. Background: In 2006, the voters of the City of Ukiah approved Measure X which increased the transient occupancy tax from 8% to 10%. The argument in favor stated that Measure X would help ensure that funds will be available for General Fund purposes, including promotion and tourism efforts, economic development, and park development and maintenance, and recreation program scholarships. During discussions regarding Measure X, Council specified 75% of the additional revenue generated from the 2% increase for the first two years would be used to promote tourism and 50% thereafter. Furthermore, Council specified that the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce was best equipped to administer these funds given the Chamber's expertise and relationship with local businesses, the community, and tourism industry. Since 2008, the City of Ukiah has entered into an annual performance agreement with the Continued on Page 2 Recommended Action(s): 1) Receive report from the Chamber of Commerce on the 2009 TOT Measure X Work Plan. 2) Review and consider the 2010 TOT Measure X Work Plan and Performance Agreement with the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce. 3) Authorize the Executive Director to negotiate and execute the Performance Agreement. 4) Approve a corresponding budget amendment in the amount of $65,669.04 (50% of the additional revenue generated and subsequently collected for the 2009 calendar year from the 2% Measure X TOT increase). 5) Consider City representation on the TOT Task Force Alternative Council Option(s): Determine the Agreement with the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce is inappropriate and/or requires revision.

For the 2009 Calendar Year, these funds totaled $114,130. Discussion: Over the course of the past year, the Chamber, under the terms of the agreement with the City and in consultation with the TOT Task Force, carried out an extensive promotional program on behalf of the Greater Ukiah area, the City of Ukiah, and the local tourism industry. A summary of the program's goals and accomplishments can be found in the T.O.T. Measure X 2009 Year End Report which is included as Attachment #1. As part of the implementation, the Chamber formed and managed the TOT Task Force, which is comprised of individuals from the community, with the necessary expertise to implement and further develop the work plan. Together, they identified community assets, the cultural heritage of the Greater Ukiah area, attractions, events, marketing opportunities and potential partners. The TOT Task Force set the following goals: 1. To continue to produce the "Uniquely Ukiah" multi-tiered, multi-media promotional program that highlights our most potent assets by 'branding' the area - creating a marketing campaign, and then promoting it. 2. Work with their tourism partner(s) to develop core marketing strategies and message(s) that produce a comprehensive tourism program that then continues to build each year. 3. Maintain their visibility in proven, existing advertizing markets - i.e. "101 Things to Do in Mendocino" and their presence in county and statewide visitor guides as well as improve visitor signage, maps, directories and guides. A number of projects and products were created by the Task Force in 2009 to build on the marketing program created in 2008. Operational funds were less in 2009 because of the economic downturn, requiring the Task Force to do more with less. Throughout the year, the Task Force worked with their tourism partners, The Main Street Program, Visit Mendocino, Arts Council of Mendocino, Mendocino Lodging Association and Ukiah Hoteliers. The Task Force also applied and received a tourism match grant through Comcast, allowing them to double their marketing sphere at no additional cost. The marketing survey completed by Randall Travel Marketing, a five month study conducted from June through October in 2008, sponsored by Visit Mendocino, helped the Task Force identify and target their tourist audience. The study also underscored the need for two major projects: 1) Develop collaborative relationships with the Task Forces' existing tourism industry partners 2) Produce better maps, guides and signage. The following is a list of some of the products created by the Task Force in 2009: 1. Distributed the "Uniquely Ukiah" brochure. 2. Created and provided content for the new `Uniquely Ukiah' website 3. Produced "Uniquely Ukiah' a series of mini-documentary films showcasing Ukiah area businesses and tourist attractions. These can be seen on YouTube websites in the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay Areas. 4. Launched the 'Uniquely Ukiah' Comcast Television Commercial seen by half a million viewers in the Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Areas. 5. Cross-pollinated the 'Uniquely Ukiah' message with their collaborative partners. 6. Hosted Hospitality Training for Ukiah hotel staff 7. Produced a Ukiah hotel concierge map with points of interests 2 Subject: Calendar Year 2010 TOT Contract Meeting Date: July 7, 2010 Page 3 of 3 8.

We viii strive to do our best in using TOT funds to promote what a great place Uldah is to not only visit for baseball but showcase the many amenities we offer for future vacation getaways." Guy Mills, 2009 Ukiah Babe Ruth Regional Tournament Committee Background on Measure X The ;mission of the Measure X initiative is to provide a quality promotional program on behalf of the Greater Ukiah area, the City of Ukiah and its tourism industry. Measure X was placed on the November 2006 ballot seeking voter approval to increase the transit occupancy/bed tax from 8% to 10% within the city limits of Ukiah. In accordance with the resolution passed by the City of Ukiah, money dedicated to the TOT fund is to be spent on the promotion of the Greater Ukiah area. It is the belief of the City of Ukiah and the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce that the plant should include input from promotion-related organizations within Ukiah and Mendocino County.

How the Committee Works ~ The volunteer Committee meets each month as a hill body to share subcommittee progress reports, assess the budget and assign production tasks and deadlines. Break-out subcommittees work throughout the year designing and producing marketing materials, working with promotional and collaborative partners, nurturing attraction grant recipients and applicants and creating content for the Comcast tourism program. WHAT WE DID IN 2009 Overview of TOT Goal: The Committee's goal was to continue to produce the "Uniquely Ukiah" multi-tiered, multi-media promotional program that highlights our most potent assets by "branding" the area creating a marketing campaign and then promoting it. Our goal was to work with out tourism industry partners to develop core marketing strategies and message(s) that produce a comprehensive tourism program that then continues to build each year. At the same time, we wanted to maintain our visibility in proven, existing advertising markets - i.e. "101 Things To Do In Mendocino, and our presence in county and statewide visitor guides as well as improve visitor signage, maps, directories and guides. We Came with Creative Ways to Do More With Less Money In 2009, in order to maintain and build the marketing program created in 2008, we focused on diverse ways to leverage the overall promotional budget. Operational funds for 2009 were down due to the state's economic downturn. And for 2010, the projected budget is slashed by nearly 50 percent in accordance with the funding mechanism mandated by Measure X. In short, for 2009 we had to figure out how to do more with less. We achieved this by developing cross marketing programs with our tourism partners (e.g. Main St. Program, Visit Mendocino, Arts Council of Mendocino, Mendocino Lodging Association, Ukiah Hoteliers) and leveraging funds with our collaborating institutions (e.g. Grace Hudson Museum). In order to stretch our dollars even further, the Committee applied for and received a special 2009 Northern California tourism grant through Comcast that doubled our buy. Marketing Survey Helped Use Identify Our Tourist Base In 2009, we culled data from the Randall Travel Marketing survey- a five- month study of area visitors Qune 2008 through October 2008), which was sponsored by our collaborating partner Visit Mendocino (See attached). The Randall study helped us target these tourists who they are, where they live, educational/income level, age, etc... What do these identified tourists appreciate most from their visits to our area? What brings them back? What do they want that we don't offer? What additional visitors can we attract to the area? The Randall study also underscored the need for two major projects that were already underway for the 2009 TOT program: 1) develop collaborative relationships with our existing tourism industry partners 2) produce better maps, guides and signage. NEW PRODUCTS CREATED IN 2009 SUMMARY: In 2009, the Committee solidified Uldah's marketing and branding image - "Uniquely Ukiah," by creating a variety of products spotlighting this message. Product Summary (detailed descriptions follow): Produced and distributed the "Uniquely Ukiah"brochure • Built and provided content for the "Uniquely Ukiah"website • "Uniquely Ukiah" documentary films showcasing area businesses and tourist attractions for websites, YouTube, Bay Area and Sacramento television viewers • Launched the "UniquelyVAdah" Comcast Television Commercial Program seen by half a million Sacramento and Bay Area television viewers • Cross pollinated the "Uniquely Ukiah" message with our collaborative partners In addition, the Committee: • Hosted a hospitality training for front-line Ukiah hotel staff • Produced and distributed a Ukiah hotel concierge map with area points of interest • Produced and distributed a directory of "Things To Do In Uldah on Sunday" for Ukiah hotels, the Chamber's visitor center and to be posted on our tourism partners' websites • Purchased and erected frontage billboards for Hwy 101 highlighting Ukiah's hotel accommodations • Collaborated with the City of Ukiah to host the 2009 international Uldah Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament 1~. .f • Awarded Ukiah businesses, associations and organizations with Attraction Development Grants • Contributed $20,000 to help offset the budget deficient of the.

Committee hired local web designer and graphic artist Karen Adair and local web programmer Marc Carson to design and build the "Uniquely Ukiah" website (wvAv.unique1y-u1dah.com). Sid Cooperrider provided additional web consultation free of charge. The "Uniquely Ukiah" website creates a more visible online home for the TOT promotional campaign by showcasing the "Uniquely Ukiah" storytelling videos and the "Uniquely Uldah" television commercials. The website also lists unique Ukiah facts, highlights a Ukiah monthly events calendar, a directory of Ukiah hotels and is directly linked with the Ukiah Chamber, the City of Ukiah and the GoMendo websites as well as the "Uniquely Ukiah" promotional brochure. Ukiah Chamber Website Technical improvements and repairs were also made to the Chamber's website. Uniquely Ukiah Brochures The TOT Committee produced 10,000 new, full-color promotional guides marketing the area as "Uniquely Uldah."The brochure spotlights Ukiah as `Nowhere Else Is Like This Place. It includes a lodging guide, tourist information, a month-by-month calendar of local events and spotlights some of our `~adgrre" assets - first organic brewpub in the nation, first carbon-neutral winery in the country, Vichy Springs, Grace Hudson, the first Buddhist High School in nation, etc...(See attached). This "Uniquely Ukiah "message was cross-promoted in products created in collaboration with our tourism industry partners (e.g. The Main Street Program brochure, which was partially funded with TOT funds). The brochure was distributed as part of the "visitor-requests for information" packets; and locally though all area hotels, chambers and visitor centers and 5. statewide through the San Francisco and Sacramento visitor centers. (See .a attached). "Discover Downtown Ukiah" Main St. Program Brochures Complete in late 2008, and distributed through 2009, this collaborative project with the TOT and the Main St. Program, produced a full.-color guide that highlights shopping, dining and events in the designated, downtown historic area. (See attached). Mendocino County Inland Arts Performing Guide Produced in 2009, this was collaborative project with the Mendocino County Lodging Association, the Arts -Council of Mendocino County, the Community Foundation of Mendocino County and the TOT program. (See attached). The brochure spotlights the inland county's impressive arts organizations and details year-round events - from SPACE and UPT to the Uldah Symphony, Mendocino Ballet and the theatre arts department at Mendocino College. The brochure was distributed as part of the "visitor-requests for information" packets; locally through hotels, all area chambers and visitor centers; and statewide through the San Francisco and Sacramento visitor centers. (See attached). Ukiah Hotels Map and Directory with Area Points of Interest - A collaborative project with the Ukiah Hoteliers and the TOT program. Branded with the "Uniquely Ukiah" logo and message, this one-page Ukiah- area map identifies all local hotels. The flip side of the page lists area "Points of Interest" including Vichy Springs Resort, the Grace Hudson Museum, Historic Downtown Ukiah, etc... The brochure was distributed locally at the front desk of all hotels and through area chambers and visitor centers. (See attached). Hotel Front Line Hospitality Training In February 2009, TOT hosted a front-end hotel staff workshop at the Conference Center. More than 50 Ukiah hotel staff attended the training and heard presentations on area restaurants, wineries, points of interest, recreational spots, entertainment and arts events and visitor services. "Uniquely Ukiah" products were distributed - brochures, guides, maps, directories, etc... Attendees sampled local food and wine and heard from representatives from the City of Ukiah Parks and Recreation, Grace Hudson Museum, Ukiah Art Center, Parducci Winery, Ukiah Brewing Co. & Restaurant, Schats Bakery and more. G . Ukiah Hotels Highway Billboards As a collaborative project with the Ukiah Hoteliers and the TOT program., the Committee paid for two billboards listing Ukiah accommodations. The billboards were installed in staggered positions along Hwy 101 north of Ukiah (in the Willits areas). The billboards provide a directory of Ukiah hotels to visitors returning from their visits to the northern part of the state. A billboard directory of Ukiah hotels and inns also signals to travelers there is a sizable town coming up. Where there are lots of hotels, there's also bound to be lots of dinning and shopping options. Farmers Market Television Commercial This collaborative project between the TOT program and the Mendocino County Farmers Market Association funded a 30-second Comcast commercial. In 2009, the spot featured our inland farmer's markets and aired during the peak summer travel period on nearly 70,000 Sonoma County cable households. The commercial ran on the Food Network, the Travel Channel and CNN. 2009 Ukiah Babe Ruth Pacific Southwest Regional Tournament The City of Uldah collaborated with TOT to bring the All-Star Regional Tournament to Ukiah in August 2009. This event put Ukiah on the world map as the precursor to the Babe Ruth World Series. Eight teams participated in the 2009 Tournament including Ulda.h, Guam, Utah, Arizona, Reno, Torrance, Palo Alto, and Selma, California. The tournament began on a Wednesday evening with dinner provided at Todd Grove Park for all participants and their families. Games began on Thursday and finished Monday with total of 15 games being played during that time. The eventual winner was Torrance, Ca advancing to the World Series. Torrance played for the Championship but was beaten in the final inning of play by a score of 2-3. More than 350 families stayed in Ukiah hotel rooms and at various establishments and visiting local businesses. Based on conversations with hotel representatives an estimated 75 rooms were booked. After the 2009 Tournament wrapped up, officials with the Babe Ruth National said that Ukiah was their number one choice to host the 2010 Pacific Southwest Tournament for 13-15 year olds. As an added bonus, the tournament used the opportunity to promote the development of Anton Stadium as the "premier baseball facility in. Northern California" Funding for Grace Hudson Museum. Due to the projected drop in the City of Uldah General Fund revenues, the Grace Hudson Museum & Sun House faced significant budget cuts for FY 2009-2010. The cuts necessitate a drastic reduction in the hours the Museum is open to the public, along with a decrease in the number of quality exhibitions, educational programs and services offered at Ukiah's preeminent cultural, historic and tourist attractions. In 2009, the Museum received $20,000 in TOT funds to help bridge the temporary budget crisis so the museum could remain filly operational as an Ukiah Valley tourist destination. "Uniquely U rah" Story Project Project Description & Background: For 2009 and beyond, this project taped into what many consider to be Ukiah's greatest assets its people and their stories. Data on cultural heritage tourism indicates visitors are looking for more authentic experiences. Not only do our tourists want to discover a unique restaurant - they want to experience the story of the family running the place. Our attractions become more meaningful and memorable to visitors once they learn they can tour a working farm, dine on the farm's organic grass-fed beef and buy a case of sparkling wine produced from the grapes they just tasted off the vine - or that Ukiah is home to the Grace Hudson museum one of the nation's only museums dedicated to a woman artist. The Committee produced a variety of short (2-4 minutes) films - each spotlighting examples of our key tourism assets. Films were scored with music from local luminaries such as Alex de Grassi, Spencer Brewer and Holly Near, and combined moving film, historical archival photos, contemporary shots, with voice over all wrapped in an engaging narrative storyline. 2009 In 2009, the Committee continued to build on the "Uniquely Ukiah" message created in 2008, with three additional digital, documentary films- for a total of 9 films completed (a 10`x' film is currently in production) on some of the area's iconic and "unique" businesses and attractions. These films are featured on the new "Uniquely Ukiah"website, YouTube, and were showcased as part of the Comcast cable television's "Video On Demand" (see below) program for San Francisco and Bay Area viewers. The films are also spotlighted on the Ukiah Chamber's website and on area business and collaborating partners' websites and for 2010 will be featured on new Ukiah visitor information story kiosks. g These 9 films produced in-2008-2009 provided the content for the 2009 Comcast television commercials. (See Comcast Television Program below). For 2008, the first tier of six films focused on the human-interest stories behind some of Ukiah's downtown highlights a walking tour of some of our nationally renowned hotspots: • Organics/Green Tourism: Uldah Brewing Co. & Restaurant • Wine Tourism: Tierra, Art, Garden & Wine • Food/Historical Tourism: Cheesecake Momma • Cultural Heritage Tourism. (Native American): Bead Fever • Arts Tourism: Hoyman-Broome gifts and pottery studio • Historical Tourism/Cultural Heritage Tourism: Grace Hudson Museum. For 2009, four new documentary films were produced: Cultural Heritage Tourism: City of 10,000 Buddhas Eco/Green Tourism: Real Goods and The Solar Living Center Farm/Ag Tourism: McFadden Farms Wine Tourism: Paul Dolan and the Mendocino Wine Co. " niquel'y Ukiah" Comcast Television Commercial/Video On Demand/Online Program In partnership with Comcast, the Committee produced an integrated image campaign that brought together various media outlets - TV, Internet, and Video On Demand - to create a single, appealing Ukiah brand that promotes the Ukiah area's unique shopping, restaurants, wineries, arts and tourist destinations. Using all three high-viewership platforms, the program was able to tell Bay area and Sacramento residents about Ukiah's historic downtown, the nation's first organic brewpub, the nation's only museum dedicated to a woman artist, the nation's first carbon-neutral winery and more. By advertising to increase the length of stay of tourists from San Francisco & Sacramento, the Committee's efforts were aimed at turning the current downtrend in occupancy upward, especially during the shoulder season. The ultimate goal remains to keep that traffic flowing by advertising to build consistent appeal to drive-in tourists, competing successfully with other destinations both now and in the future. In 2009, the Committee produced six :30 second commercial ads, which were created using content from longer Uniquely Ukiah Story Project films {see 17 above). The commercials featured the voice-overs of local actors; and graphics designed by local artists Kaaren Adair and Kirk Fuller. The commercials were locally produced by Fuller Digital Media. Commercials were targeted toward 44-65-year-olds, focusing on highly educated professionals and ran in the Bay Area and Sacramento television markets. The commercials ran 1,367 times on the highest ranked networks and during the highest ranked programs e.g. CNN, the Food Network, The History Channel, ESPN, the Travel Channel, Bravo! The Learning Channel, MSNBC, E! Entertainment Television, and more. Achievements The commercials were viewed 2,831,735 times in the SF Bay and Sacramento areas. Additionally, a total of 100, Video On Demand tune-in spots ran gratis within the SF marketwide zone, promoting the "Uniquely Ukiah" story campaign. Video On Demand is a cable subscriber option that allows Comcast television viewers the option of watching longer video selections at the click of a button. In this way, the longer, full-length "Uniquely Ukiah" story project films were made available to cable subscribers _ garnering a total of 6,184 views The online success was unprecedented. A total of 1,208,787 impressions were served to the "Uniquely Ukiah" banner ad campaign on Comcast.net. The click thru rate was an amazing 0.14% (the industry average is 91/o), which garnered us a total of 1,723 clicks directly to the "Uniquely Ukiah".coin website. Community Grant Awards In 2009, TOT granted $12,500 in Attraction Development Grants to strengthen Ukiah's position as a destination for travelers. The purpose of these grants is to provide strategic economic assistance to public, private and not-for- private organizations developing attractions to enhance tourism in the Greater Ukiah Valley. Recipients have 24 months f ain the time of the 2009 award to spend funds and provide a project summary. The following organizations were awarded: Ukiah Poet Laureate Committee-Ukiah Haiku Festival April 18, 2010 $1000 The ukiaHaiku Festival is a homegrown celebration of Haiku poetry - consisting of an international contest and a local celebration of the poets who participate in the contest. The majority of the contest's entrants are students 16, .if from regional schools and northern California residents. In addition, the contest has come to attract haiku. enthusiasts across the U.S. and from such far- flung places as Katmandu, Budapest, Paris and New Zealand. In 2008/2009 more than 170 people attended the award ceremony. The 2009 contest has 1,581 entries from 14 states, 10 countries, four continents and 33 schools. Publicity generated by the event in 2009 included an Associated Press article that was picked up by 200 newspapers from Cleveland to Honolulu to Los Angeles.

RECITALS 1. The City is desirous of creating a quality promotional program for the Greater Ukiah area, the City of Ukiah, and Ukiah's tourism industry. 2. In November 2006, the voters of the City of Ukiah passed Measure X which raised the transient occupancy tax (TOT) in the City from 8% to 10%. City Council Resolution No. 2006-68 ("Resolution"), as amended August 28, 2006, specified that for the first two years after the increase goes into effect, 75% of the additional revenue produced by the tax increase would be spent on promotion of the City of Ukiah and its tourist industry, and 50% thereafter. 3. The Resolution provides that the revenues expended for promotion of the City of Ukiah and its tourist industry shall be administered by the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce subject to an annual performance agreement with the City of Ukiah. 4. The Chamber agrees to perform this function on behalf of the City. The parties have entered this performance agreement to comply with the Resolution. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above-recited facts and agreement contained herein, it is agreed as follows: A. TERM This Agreement shall be effective from January 1, 2010, and shall terminate on December 31 2010. B. SCOPE OF SERVICES The Chamber shall carry on promotional activities with and on behalf of the City. These activities shall be carried out in cooperation and coordination with the City. These services shall include, but are not limited to, the work plan attached as Exhibit A. C. REPRESENTATION The Chamber shall provide the City with the option to appoint three (3) representatives including a City Council member to the Chamber's TOT Task Force, which the Chamber has organized to develop and implement the attached work plan under the direction of the Chamber's Board of Directors. D. RECORDS, REPORTS AND ACCOUNTABILITY In addition to the agenda packets for the regularly scheduled meetings of the Chamber's Board of Directors and the TOT Task Force supplied to the City's representatives, the Chamber shall, by June 30, 2010 furnish the City with a mid year progress report and by January 31, 2011, furnish the City with a written annual report, covering the activities and services performed during the term of this Agreement. The report shall include the type and scope of promotional activities implemented under this agreement; measures documenting the success of the promotional activities. Such report shall identify and quantify all work program tasks and objectives completed during the term of this agreement and detail and quantify the impact of completed program objectives on promotion and tourism for the City of Ukiah. The report shall also itemize and quantify any uncompleted program work tasks or goals, provide justification for failure to complete any tasks or goals, and forward recommendations for how those tasks or goals might be successfully completed in the future. Chamber shall maintain a bookkeeping system and books of account in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, which are capable of audit and which account for the funds provided to the Chamber pursuant to this Agreement, identifying how the funds were used to provide the services described in the work plan. The City shall have access to said books of account during regular business hours for purposes of inspection and audit. Chamber shall fully cooperate with the City and its agents and accountants during any such inspection and audit, including, but not limited to, making its employees, accountants, bookkeepers, or officials available to provide any requested information or documents. Chamber shall furnish a detailed report by December 31, 2010, covering the annual activities of the promotional program undertaken on behalf of the City. Furthermore, the Chamber shall provide verbal reports to the Ukiah City Council at regular scheduled Council meetings by June 30, 2010 and again by January 31, 2011, detailing the activities undertaken pursuant to this agreement. The presentation shall include a summary of the items identified in the written reports. Any and all future Agreements between the Chamber and the City shall not only be predicated on the Chamber's on-going ability to accomplish the prescribed services contained in the "Scope of Services" and completion/submission of the identified reports, but also shall be dependent on the City's ability to garner available funds from its budget to support the Chamber. E. FINANCIAL COMPENSATION BY CITY In consideration of the Chamber's performance of the above services, and under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall pay the Chamber the sum of 50% of the additional revenue collected from the increase in transient occupancy tax from 8% to 10% for the 2009 calendar year. This sum of money shall constitute the entirety of the City's financial contribution to the Chamber for the term and scope of services detailed in this Agreement. A projected budget for 2010 is included as Exhibit B. Chamber shall submit a written request for the release of funds from the City and within 15 business days thereafter the City shall pay the request funds to the Chamber. F. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION During the term of this Agreement, the Chamber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, agents, and employees, from and against any and all claims, losses, defense costs, or liability of any kind or nature which the City, and its officers, agents, and employees, may sustain or incur or which may be imposed upon them for injury to or death of persons, or damage to property as a result of, arising out of, or in any manner connected with the Chamber's performance under the terms of this Agreement, excepting only liability arising out of the sole and active negligence of the City. Without limiting the Chamber's indemnification, it is agreed that the Chamber shall maintain in force at all times during the performance of this Agreement, the following policy or policies of insurance approved by the City and issued by admitted California insurers approved by the City covering its operations, which name the City as an additional insured: 1. Comprehensive General or Commercial Liability, including contractual liability, products, and completed operations and business automotive liability, all of which shall include coverage for both bodily injury and property damage with a combined single limit of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). 2. Worker's Compensation coverage at statutory limits. 3. The certificates of insurance and endorsements shall be completed to the satisfaction of the City. Should the Chamber fail to comply with this paragraph, the City shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement without further notice to Chamber. G. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHAMBER AND CITY Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making the Chamber or any of its employees or representatives, the agent or employee of the City for any purpose, or any employee of the City an employee of the Chamber or creating between the City and the Chamber the relationship of legal partners or joint ventures. It is understood that the contractual relationship of the Chamber to the City is that of an independent contractor. H. TERMINATION FOR NON-PERFORMANCE If any party to this Agreement breaches any provision thereof, then the other party may give the defaulting party a notice to remedy such violation within thirty (30) days. The other party may terminate the Agreement: (a) if such violation is not remedied within said 30 days; (b) if the breach cannot be remedied within such time period; or (c) the defaulting party has not commenced efforts to cure the breach or fails to diligently complete steps necessary to cure the breach. Should this contract be terminated for breach on the part of the Chamber, compensation as provided in paragraph E shall be refunded to the City on a prorata basis. A waiver by either party of performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not amount to a future waiver of the strict performance of such provisions or of any other provision of this Agreement. 1. NON-PERFORMANCE DUE TO CONDITION BEYOND CONTROL OF PARTIES If either party is unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to conditions beyond its reasonable control, such as, but not limited to, changes in local, state, or federal laws or regulations, judicial interpretations of existing law, vote by the citizens of Ukiah, or administrative action, and not due to the fault or neglect of any party, such failure to perform shall not be deemed a violation of this Agreement, provided the party whose performance is so prevented performs its obligation as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the event preventing performance under this Agreement no longer prevents such performance. Such party shall use reasonable diligence to put itself again in a position to carry out its obligations hereunder, and in the event such party does not or cannot within a reasonable time put itself again in a position to do so, the other party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement. J. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS WAIVER OR MODIFICATION INEFFECTIVE UNLESS IN WRITING No waiver or modification of the Agreement or of any covenant, condition, or limitations herein contained shall be valid unless in writing and duly executed by the party to be charged therewith. Furthermore, no evidence of any waiver or modification shall be offered or received in evidence in a proceeding, arbitration, or litigation between the parties arising out of or affecting this Agreement, or the rights or obligations of any party hereunder, unless such waiver or modification is in writing and duly executed. The provisions of this paragraph may not be waived, except as herein set forth. 2. SEVERABILITY Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable. If any term or provision hereof is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the Agreement. 3.

Rapport, City Attorney ATTEST: JoAnne Currie, City Clerk Exhibit A Chamber Performance Agreement Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce 200 South School Street, Ukiah, CA 95482 (707)462-4705 fax (707)462- Transit Occupancy Tax (TOT) 2010 Measure X Work Plan Overview: For 2010, the TOT work plan will be adjusted to reflect the Measure X funding mandate-which reduces TOT funding from 75 percent of 2 percent of collected bed tax monies in 2009-to 50 percent of 2 percent of collected bed tax dollars for 2010. The total funding available for 2010 is $65,669. As a result of the planned contractual reduction, many of the current TOT programs will see funding decreased. For example, TOT Attraction Development Grants for 2010 will be reduced from $12,000 in 2009 to $8,000 for 2010 (TOT awarded $20,000 in community grants in 2008). The Comcast Television Commercial/Video On Demand/Web Presence Program is budgeted for $15,000 in 2010-down from $25,000 in 2009. Funding for the "Uniquely Ukiah Story Project" is reduced from $25,000 in 2009 to $8,000 for 2010- and so on. The 2010 budget situation means the Committee's 2010 goals and tasks will focus on leveraging the products we've already created-while maintaining a continued visibility in proven advertising markets. The good news is that the funding situation necessitates exploring as many creative opportunities as possible for leveraging funds with our cooperative partners. For example, in 2010, the Committee is expected to apply for and receive the Comcast Northern California Tourism Grant Program-doubling the 2010 projected TOT Comcast Television budget from $15,000 to $30,000. Comcast Spotlight supports the Northern California tourist industry and economy by offering matching funds and matching inventory until grant funds are depleted. In addition, the 2010 print media advertising budget of $6,000 will be leveraged with $2,000 from the Grace Hudson Museum for collaborative advertising. Products for 2010 "Uniquely Ukiah" Story Project The Committee will create one new Ukiah story film, which will be showcased on the "Uniquely Ukiah" website, collaborative partners' websites, YouTube and spotlighted on the new "Uniquely Ukiah" Story Kiosks (see below). In addition, the Committee will produce new :30 television commercials-culled from the "Uniquely Ukiah" films and produced in conjunction with Fuller Digital Media for rotation on Comcast television. "Uniquely Ukiah" Story Kiosks Stationed in local hotels, restaurants and downtown at the conference center, visitors will view films using a touch-screen computer housed in stylish frames. In addition, the kiosks provide visitors and members of the community with local information on events, dining, lodging, services, maps, arts and entertainment 7 information, etc... In addition, the possibility exists to sell advertising displayed on the kiosks, which could be a source of additional revenue. For immediate use, a kiosk demonstration model will be loaned to the Chamber Visitor Center. Uniquely Ukiah Comcast Television Commercial/Video On Demand/Online Program TOT will continue this proven, successful joint promotional project with Comcast-albeit with less money. But as described above, TOT can leverage the $15,000 budget to $30,000 though the Northern California Tourism Grant program. Community Grant Program The budget for the Attraction Development Program is scaled back to $8,000 for 2010. Grant(s) will focus on event funding-either to bolster an existing event or to launch a new event. "Uniquely Ukiah" Website The Committee will continue to update the website and create a more visible online home for the TOT promotional campaign by creating links to brochures, maps, guides, the Comcast television commercials, etc...The focus will be on cross-populating the "Uniquely Ukiah" website with our promotional partners' existing websites. In addition, the Committee will be exploring ways to bolster the website with updated and fresh content-e.g. blogs, interactive aspects, more local information, entertainment, arts, historic, information and more. Front-line Hospitality Training The2009 Hospitality Training was such a success, the Committee plans to host at least one more during 2010. Ukiah Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament The City of Ukiah and the TOT will once again partner to bring the Babe Ruth Tournament to Ukiah for the second year in a row. 2010 Ongoing Advertising/Visitor Dues Local and statewide visitor centers charge annual dues, which buy membership and pay for their in-house promotion of the Ukiah Valley. Reciprocal agreements will be paid to: Mendocino Film Office San Francisco Convention and Visitor Bureau Sacramento Convention and Visitor Bureau North Coast Tourism Bureau The Committee will consider continuing advertising in the following publications and electronic media: RV Journal 101 Things To Do (potentially adding Marin County for a total of 5 magazines) Exhibit B Chamber Performance Agreement Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce 200 South School Street, Ukiah, CA 95482 (707)462-4705 fax (707)462-2088 Transit Occupancy Tax (TOT) 2010 Measure X Budget Accounting $ 960.00 Staffing $ 14,700.00 Storage $ 540.00 Supplies $ 500.00 Chamber Admin $ 6,700.00 Mendo Film Office $ 250.00 State Visitor Center fees $ 1,500.00 Postage-Fulfillment $ 2,000.00 Kiosks $ 2,000.00 Event Grants $ 8,000.00 Hospitality Training $ 900.00 Media Content/Social Networking 3,000.00 Comcast Matching Grant Program $ 15,000.00 Print Media/Other Advertising $ 6,069.00 Website Technology $ 1,750.00 Visitor's Bureau Rental $ 1,800.00 Total Proposed Budget $ 65,669.00 9 lie, Walk with on. s A downtown tour Lions, odd fellows and. more surprises await curious locals and visitors who. venture downtown with a new tour brochure this summer. Asa practicing historian, I recently received'support from Ukiah's tourism tax funds to create a pocket- sized walking guide to historic sites in our business district. Poking around School, State and Oak streets, I discovered that many of our downtown buildings have decorative architectural details that are hidden in plain sight. If one slows down and takes the time to really look, a whole new (or I should say old) world opens up. And, this is where the kings of the jungle come in the next time you go to the Brewery or find yourself passing by the Marks Building (1890), pause and see if you can spot the lion heads. Here's a hint: they are small, decorative "'elements on the facade. As far as odd fellows go, there may be a few around downtown but I must confess to never meeting one face to face. I did learn a bit about therm when I pursued the archival portion of my research. The International Order of Odd Fellows. (IOOF), formed in England in the 18th century as a charitable and fraternal organization. The name derives from the idea that In Our O~n Words people back then found it odd that By Dot Brovarney their fellows dedicated themselves to aiding the needy. Among the legacies of Ukiah's Odd Fellows is their three-story lodge (1882), a gem of an Italianate style building on State Street, the oldest intact historic commercial structure in " town. The brochure "Heart of Ukiah: Historic Downtown Walking Tour" can be picked up . at either the Chamber of Commerce office in the Conference Center on School Street or at the Grace Hudson Museum on Main Street.

Since the bookstore fronts School Street, I'd never slowed down long enough to look closely at the Lodge entrance just around the corner on West Perkins. The Classical entry, painted an eye-catching powder blue, is priceless. It's definitely worth a stop and a gaze upward. This entryway, with layers of classical detail, including rows of eggs and darts, reminds me of a tiered wedding cake. Although too distant from downtown to be part of the tour, the historic Held home on Dora at West Perkins played a role in my research. This Victorian treasure trove, known as the Held-Poage Research Library, holds the archives of the Mendocino County Historical Society. Here, I discovered many fascinating stories about our downtown buildings and the lives of people who occupied them. ; Among the most intriguing tales is the story of Lung Wong, who worked as chef for the Palace Hotel (1891) for. many years. A- 5-rst• generation Chinese American bom in. the late 1870s, Lung got his start with the Palace as a dishwasher. Not only did he work his way up to head chef, but he also secured a contract to run the restaurant with his own staff. I was surprised to learn that the dome atop the Ukiah Brewery (1890) thatI always believed to be original turns out to be a replacement. The fire that swept downtown in 1917 destroyed the original conical-shaped turret and the building's roof. In fact, this fire, fanned by one of Ukiah's blustery winds, proved so ferocious that firefighters from the firehouse a mere block away" at City Hall (housed then in a 1913 structure still located at School and Church streets), were unable to control it. A product of federal effort in the 1930s to promote jobs and the arts, a mural titled "Resources of the Soil," became a part of the new Post Office (1937). Artists competed to paint in postal facilities 4Ur OVontinued from Page A-3 across the country. The winner of the Ukiah con- tract, Benjamin Frazier Cunningham, had previ- ously`worked on murals lit Coit Tower along with Diego Rivera and other artists. I discovered that the architect of the original Savings Bank (1917) iwas none other than William Weeks, yenowned in early 20th century California for numerous public and commercial buildings. Jie designed many struc- tures in downtown Monterey, Watsonville, and Santa Cruz, includ- ing the Casino at the Boardwalk. His firm was one of the largest in the state, with offices in Watsonville, ' Salinas, San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland. If you'd like to con- tinue this journey through our downtown history, pick up a copy of the brochure "Heart of Ukiah: Historic Downtown Walking Tour" at either the Chamber of Commerce or the Grace Hudson Museum. It's also avail- able in downloadable PDF on my website at www.landeestry.com. The self-guided tour, encompassing a dozen blocks, loops through the business district and features 16, buildings.
