UKIAH CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
May 4, 2011
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH DFM CAR STEREO, INC. AND
MCCARTY AUTO BODY AND AUTHORIZATION OF CITY MANAGER TO SIGN
AGREEMENTS (EUD)
SUMMARY: Settlement agreements will resolve under and overpayments for electricity by DFM Car
Stereo, Inc. and McCarty Auto Body, respectively. As a result of confusion as to which electric meters
served different businesses in the same building, McCarty Auto Body paid for electricity that was actually
serving the DFM Car Stereo business and DFM Car Stereo paid for electricity that was actually being used
by McCarty. The DFM used substantially more electricity than McCarty during the 5 years before the error
was discovered. As a result, DFM underpaid for the electricity it used and McCarty overpaid.
Under the agreements, McCarty is refunded the amount of the overpayment without interest. DFM pays for
six months of underpayments in monthly installments over a two year period.
The City Council has previously discussed these claims in closed session. Staff recommends approval of
the agreements. It is staff's intention to provide signed agreements to the City Council at its May 4 meeting
prior to consideration of the consent calendar.

of Public Works until 5 p.m. on October 12, 2010. On December 15, 2010 City Council awarded a contract
to Carollo Engineers for the project per the review committee's recommendation.
Discussion: Staff identified a Grant Program through the California State Water Resources Control Board
which will pay a maximum of $75,000 towards the preparation of a Public Agency's Recycled Water Master
Plan. Authorization from the governing body of the City of Ukiah by way of resolution is required for the
application into this grant program. A requirement of the the Department of Water Resources specifies that

staff is requesting an amendment to Resolution 2010-41 to include the language: "in the maximum amount
of $75,000." Water Board staff has indicated that the City's application is under review and strong
consideration however the resolution must contain the specific language.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL: CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING IN ACCORDANCE WITH
CALIFORNIA REDEVELOPMENT LAW FOR THE USE OF UKIAH UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT'S SCHOOL CAPITAL OUTLAY FUNDS FROM THE UKIAH

the URA credits the fund with an amount of money equal to the increases in the assessed value of the
taxable property in the URA's project area above the sum of the Base Year Roll which would have been
calculated and paid to UUSD annually if the redevelopment project area had not been established.
Funds accumulated in the Capital Outlay Fund may be used by the District for capital improvement projects
when such improvements are found to be of a benefit to the project area and no other reasonable means of
financing such improvements exists.
Continued on Page 2
Recommended Action(s):
City Council:
1) Conduct a Public Hearing to consider Ukiah Unified School District's request for the release of
funds from the District's School Capital Outlay Fund (and other Agency funds reserved by
agreement for the benefit of the District) for the construction of the Administration and Education
Resources Office Project; and
2) If appropriate, approve the corresponding resolution making the necessary finding for the use of
funds in accordance with California Redevelopment Law.
Ukiah Redevelopment Agency:
1) If appropriate, authorize the Executive Director to negotiate and execute an agreement with
Ukiah Unified School District for the release of funds; and
2) Approve the corresponding budget amendments.
Alternative Option(s): Request additional information from the District to support the required findings
and/or provide additional direction to staff.

Under a 2003 amendment to the original 1990 agreement, the District may request in accordance with the
1990 agreement annual payments from the Capital Outlay Fund, but in amounts as specified in a schedule
attached to the 2003 agreement. The URA is required to disburse requested payment in accordance with
Section 3 of the 1990 agreement. The 1990 and 2003 agreements are included as attachments for review.
When the request for funds from the Capital Outlay Fund is to pay for all or part of the cost of installation
and construction of publicly owned buildings, facilities, or improvements, Section 3 requires the URA to
comply with Health and Safety Code Sections 33679 and 33445 before permitting the use of redevelopment
funds for these purposes.
Section 33445 requires the legislative body to make the following findings:
1. That the publicly owned buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements to be acquired,
constructed or improved are of benefit to the project area.
2. That no other reasonable means of financing the buildings, facilities, structures, or other
improvements are available to the community.
3. That the payment of funds for the cost of buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements will
assist in the elimination of one or more blighting conditions inside the project area.
Discussion: In March of 2010, the District requested the release of funds from the District's Capital Outlay
Fund to pay for the cost of renovating their current District Administration Office to a new expanded facility
at its existing location at 925 North State Street. During the public hearing, concern was expressed with
regard to the limited size of the existing property and potential circulation problems. While funds were
released for the project, the District continued to explore other potential locations and has since purchased
property at 511 Orchard Avenue. The District is requesting approval to use its funds for the project at the
new location in lieu of renovating their existing facility.
The property at 511 Orchard Avenue is within the Agency's Project Area and is owned by the District. The
request letter from the District is included with the attached documentation and further details the
Administration and Education Office Project.
The District has requested the disbursement of up to $4 million of which $2,293,045 has already been
released. The remaining funds would be disbursed as increment is credited to the District's Capital Outlay
Fund in future years.
In accordance with California Redevelopment Law (CRL) and the Pass-Through Agreement with the
Agency, the District requests that the City Council conduct a public hearing and consider the required
findings documented in the attached draft resolution and project summary. If appropriate, the City Council
will have to approve the resolution and the URA will have to authorize the Executive Director to negotiate
and execute a release of funds agreement and approve the corresponding budget amendments.
The public notice for the hearing was published in the Ukiah Daily Journal on Wednesday, April 20th and 27th
and on the City's website. As required by CRL, a copy of the project summary was available for public
review at the front counter of the Ukiah Civic Center since April 20th.

EXHIBIT "A" TO RESOLUTION
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED EXPENDITURE
OF THE UKIAH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW UKIAH UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION AND EDUCATION RESOURCES OFFICE
PROJECT
The City of Ukiah created a redevelopment agency ("Agency"), adopted a
redevelopment plan, and established a redevelopment project area in 1989. The
Agency uses a portion of property tax revenues to undertake projects and
finance improvements to reduce or eliminate blighted conditions in the
redevelopment project area.
The primary source of income to a redevelopment agency is "tax increment,"
which is the portion of ad valorem real property tax that results from the increase
in assessed value of real property in the Agency's redevelopment project area
over the "base year," which is the year the redevelopment plan is approved. The
increment is composed of two parts: the annual 2% increase authorized by Cal.
Revenue and Taxation Code Section 110, and the increase resulting from
reassessment of real property after a sale or after the construction of
improvements.
Under a 1990 agreement with Ukiah Unified School District (District), the Ukiah
Redevelopment Agency maintains a Capital Outlay Fund for the benefit of the
District. Each year, the Agency credits the fund with an amount of money equal
to the increases in the assessed value of the taxable property in the Agency's
redevelopment project area above the sum of the Base Year Roll which would
have been calculated and paid to District annually if the redevelopment project
area had not been established.
Funds accumulated in the District's Capital Outlay Fund may be used by the
District for capital improvement projects when such improvements are found to
be of a benefit to the project area and no other reasonable means of financing
such improvements exists.
Under a 2003 amendment to the original 1990 agreement with Ukiah Unified
School District, the District may request annual payments from the District's
Capital Outlay Fund, but in amounts as specified in a schedule attached to the
2003 agreement. The Agency is required to disburse requested payment in
accordance with Section 3 of the 1990 agreement. The 1990 and 2003
agreements are included as Attachments #1 and #2 for review.
The District is requesting the release of funds from its Capital Outlay Fund to pay
for the cost of constructing the Ukiah Unified School District Administration and
4
Education Resources Office Project ("District Administration Project") at 511
Orchard Avenue. The property is within the Agency's Project Area and is owned
by the District. The request letter from the District is included as Attachment #3
and further details the District Administration Project.
The City and Agency must comply with Health and Safety Code Sections 33679,
33445, and other provisions of Community Redevelopment Law (CRL) before
permitting the use of redevelopment funds for the purpose of paying all or part of
the value of the land for, and the cost of installation and construction of, any
public owned buildings, facilities, or improvements.
Two weeks prior to conducting the hearing, the City is required to make a
summary available for public review. The summary must state the total amount
of taxes proposed to be used for the construction of the building and other
improvements, and it must include the facts supporting the findings, which are
required by Health & Safety Code §33445. Those findings are as follows:
(1) That the buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements
are of benefit to the project area or the immediate neighborhood in
which the project is located.
(2) That no other reasonable means of financing the buildings,
facilities, structures, or other improvements, are available to the
community.
(3) That the payment of funds for the acquisition of land or the cost
of buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements will assist
in the elimination of one or more blighting conditions inside the
project.
The findings are supported as follows:
A. Estimate of taxes proposed to pay for the improvement and
construction of The Ukiah Unified School District Administration and
Education Resources Office is $4 million.
B. There is no other reasonable means of financing the rehabilitation
project.
The total cost of constructing the new facility and purchase of real
property is $4 Million. The District plan is to finance the project
solely through the use of RDA Funds. The annual tax increment
owed to the School District through the Redevelopment Agency
that has currently accrued, the 2010 fiscal year apportionment due
June 2011 and its apportions through the year 2013 will be used to
fund the construction of the new facility. Unlike other district
projects no other source of funding is available for the development
of the service center.
In order to benefit from the current real estate market the District
used funds earmarked for other projects outside the redevelopment
area to purchase the site. Reimbursement for the purchase of the
property will allow the district to pay back funds otherwise not
intended for the development of the district service center.
C. Facts supporting findings under Health & Safety Code Section 33445.
1. The Ukiah Unified School District Administration and Education
Resources Office is of benefit to the project area and contributes
to the elimination of blight.
The site at 511 S. Orchard is located in the redevelopment area
and considered blighted. Construction of the New Ukiah Unified
School District facility will benefit its immediate neighborhood and
may serve as an impetus for other property improvements. The
current District Office was constructed as a mortuary in 1962 and
renovated as the District Office in about 1987. Presently its current
condition also contributes to a blighted condition along the North
State Street commercial corridor. The District preliminary plan is to
repurpose the building for its district wide technology and data
center though no plan has yet been approved by the Board of
Trustees.
The presence of the facility and its approximate onsite workforce of
35 employees at 511 S. Orchard will promote and encourage
commerce in the immediate neighborhood. The repurposing of 925
N State Street will reduce congestion at that location by reducing its
workforce population from approximately 20 down to about 5.
2. The Ukiah Unified School District Administration and Education
Resources Office is consistent with Ukiah Redevelopment
Agency's Redevelopment and Implementation Plans.
The use of redevelopment funds is consistent with the
redevelopment plan adopted by the Agency pursuant to CRL.
Specifically, (1) The elimination of blighting influences and the
correction of environmental deficiencies in the Project Area,
including, obsolete and aged building types, incompatible and
uneconomic land uses, substandard, inadequate or deteriorated
public improvements and facilities, (2) The replanning, redesign
and development of underdeveloped areas which are stagnant or
improperly utilized, and (3) The providing of opportunities for
participation by owner (City) and tenant (School District) in the
revitalization of their property.
6
ii. The use of redevelopment funds is consistent with the
implementation plan adopted by the Agency pursuant to Health &
Safety Code §33490. Specifically, (1) Eliminate and prevent the
conditions which lead to the spread of blight by providing the
renewal, redevelopment, and restoration of the Redevelopment
Project Area, (2) Promote public safety and economic growth
through an improved system of streets, utilities, and public facilities,
(3) Plan, design, and develop area which are currently stagnant or
underutilized,
iii. The purchase of the property has completed California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review process and declared
categorically exempt. Before any construction can occur on the
property, Ukiah Unified School District will require a site
development permit from the City of Ukiah. CEQA will require the
City to conduct an initial study to determine whether to approve and
certify a negative declaration or an environmental impact report
prior to acting on the application. Accordingly, full environmental
review under CEQA will occur before any action is approved which
could have an adverse impact on the physical environment.

April 5, 2011
City of Ukiah Redevelopment Agency
c/o Sage Sangiacomo, Assistant City Manager
City of Ukiah
300 Seminary Ave.
Ukiah, CA 95482
Dear Mr. Sangiacomo:
The Redevelopment Agency Resolution 2010-13 approved the release of RDA funds for the Ukiah Unified School District to develop
a new administrative office at its current location 925 N. State Street. Several RDA board members had reservations about us
developing the present site to a higher density. The RDA Board with those concerns encouraged the school district to continue
exploring alternative sites.
The Ukiah Unified School District took the RDA council's concerns under consideration and delayed the project development to
explore alternative sites. The Ukiah Unified School District now brings forth 511 S. Orchard Street as an alternative site to develop.
We anticipate the new building will be approximately 14 thousand square feet. The project budget for the new facility, including the
purchase of the site is just under 4 million dollars.
It is the desire of the District to use redevelopment funds to fund this project. Presently, the District has in its possession $ 2,293,045
of RDA funds. The request before you is to approve its expenditure to reimburse the site purchase and develop the new UUSD
administrative office at 511 S. Orchard in lieu of developing 925 N. State street. Furthermore, The District seek the use of
forthcoming'Redevelopment funds in 2010, through 2013 for the balance of construction funding:
The District believes that this project redefined to develop 511 S. Main Street continues to fall within the guidelines for the use of the
Redevelopment funds owed to the District, as the project will do the following:
• The rehabilitation of the site is of benefit to the project area;
• The construction of the facility will contribute to the elimination of blight.
• There are no other reasonable means of financing the project available to the District.
• The Project is consistent with the Agency's Five Year Implementation Plan, adopted on August 15, 2007.
The District hereby requests that the redevelopment agency adopt these findings and release the fund balance currently held by the
Redevelopment District for use on this project. The balance of funds will be requested as future Redevelopment funds become
available.
We appreciate your cooperation and will be pleased to provide any additional information required.

City of Ukiah
Paths, Open Space and Creek Commission
Status Report
May 4, 2010
The City of Ukiah Paths, Open Space and Creek Commission (POSCC) was formed to
assist with the implementation of the Open Space and Conservation Element of the
Ukiah General Plan - to preserve and enhance paths, open spaces and creeks, and to
assist in finding funding for these activities. The POSCC would like to use this status
report to update the City Council on its activities over the past few years, its current
activities, and to receive feedback and direction for the future.
Recent Accomplishments
Oak Manor Elementary School clean-up: POSCC commissioners, Friends of Gibson
Creek, and community members worked with Oak Manor school teachers and students
to educate them about the stream and to assist in clean-up efforts.
City View Trail: Working closely with City staff and the Ukiah Valley Trail Group,
POSCC helped facilitate, design, and via volunteer work parties, construct the City View
Trail adjacent to Low Gap Park.
Creek Maintenance Policies and Procedures: Working closely with City staff and the
community, POSCC developed creek maintenance policies and procedures to guide City
staff in the performance of maintenance practices in an ecologically sound manner.
Current Activities
Community Communication: POSCC has become more active in fielding questions and
concerns regarding the Creek Maintenance Policies as well as questions about activities
that fall outside those policies. We are working with City staff to create a website
document that lists the appropriate City staff contacts for different activities, their phone
numbers, and a broad process for who to contact for what reasons.
City View Trail and Low Gap Park: POSCC is continuing to work with the Ukiah Valley

Trail Opportunity Research: Over the past year, POSCC has been meeting with a
variety of local community groups to discuss opportunities and needs for walking and
biking trails and routes in the Ukiah area. We have met with:
• Ukiah Valley Trail Group
• Peregrine Chapter of Audubon Society
• Mendocino County Office of Education
• Mendocino County Public Health
• Wagenseller's Neighborhood Group
• Friends of Gibson Creek
• The Ukiah Rod and Gun Club
We have discovered consensus in areas of interest and locations for future trails and
paths. There is a general consensus that the community would like more non-motorized
access to natural areas and across the urban areas, especially safe places to travel from
one place to another, for both children and adults, walkers and bikers. Locations that
have frequently been mentioned include:
• Route linking Ukiah with Mendocino College - either along the railroad grade or
some route through the vineyard areas.
• Rail and Trail along railroad right-of-way
• Russian River frontage - linking Riverside Park with Talmage Road and also
from Riverside Park north
• Orr Creek greenway
• Improved access to Vichy Springs area
• A link between the ball fields and the neighborhoods west of the freeway
• Generally speaking - safe routes to school that would promote kids safely getting
to class under their own power
We are not proposing any specific routes across any particular piece of private property,
but rather presenting broad ideas. We understand that these are complicated and
potentially expensive endeavors that would require significant community support and
participation.
Future Activities
POSCC desires to use our energies to help the City Council, City staff and the
community to continue to make Ukiah a very liveable community. We are here to serve.
We are very interested in City Council's thoughts on how we could help, what specific
projects would be helpful and useful, and how we can assist City staff in meeting their
goals in this arena.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
May 4, 2011
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AND DIRECTION TO STAFF FOR PROPOSED LETTERS OF
INTENT REGARDING COMPREHENSIVE EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION
MEASURES PROGRAM WITH HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL RELATED TO FOUR
CAPITAL PROJECT COMPONENTS: (1) REPLACEMENT OF WATER METERS,
INSTALLATION OF LEAK DETECTION EQUIPMENT; (2) ENERGY SAVING
RETROFITS AND REFURBISHMENT TO CONFERENCE CENTER; (3) BIOGAS
COGENERATION AT WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT; (4) UKIAH MUNICIPAL
GOLF COURSE IRRIGATION IMPROVEMENTS, RENOVATION AND DRIVING RANGE
CREATION
Background: At a City Council Workshop Session April 14, 2011, representatives of Honeywell
International presented findings of initial study with regard to the feasibility of combining four capital projects
under a proposal by Honeywell to offer a turn-key program for design, implementation and financing of
these projects that would result in improved efficiency, revenue generation from City owned assets,
conservation savings, and operational improvements for the City of Ukiah.
Prior to the April workshop, Honeywell had made a presentation to the City Council in January 2011 which
outlined how projects such as the four proposed could be combined together and financed in such a turn-
key program to the benefit of the community. That presentation also included the reasons why these four
particular projects were selected out of several reviewed for possible inclusion into one turn-key project
effort.
Discussion: The presentation at the recent workshop indicated that each of the proposed projects were
feasible, and if combined together, were estimated to produce possible savings in current costs for utilities
of $117,700, and recovered/created new revenues of $619,000, for total savings/new revenues of $736,700
on an annual basis.

The investment to achieve these savings and/or new revenues was estimated at $7.1 M, with a pay-back for
that investment time period of 9.7 years for the combined projects. Further detailed investigation is
necessary to determine the scope and cost of the projects proposed, and that is what is provided through
the letter of intent process.
Because this initial study has yielded results that indicate the City of Ukiah could achieve significant new
use and savings from the project components proposed, the City Council directed staff to return with the
next step in the process, that of entering a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Honeywell, for the Council's further
consideration.
There are two draft LOI letters attached. The first is for the non-golf course projects (1) Replacement of
Water Meters, Installation of Leak Detection Equipment; (2) Energy Saving Retrofits and Refurbishment to
Conference Center; (3) Biogas Cogeneration at Waste Water Treatment Plant. The second attached draft
LOI is for (4) Ukiah Municipal Golf Course Irrigation Improvements, Renovation and Driving Range Creation.
The draft LOI's do not include provision for replacement of electric meters as initially proposed at the April
workshop. Honeywell and city electric utility staff continue to work together to determine the most cost
effective means of addressing this portion of the work.
Staff recommends that the draft LOI letters be reviewed by City staff and the City Attorney in consultation
with Honeywell, prior to the Council's next regular meeting of May 18, 2011. Staff and the City Attorney will
incorporate any necessary changes in the LOI's for Council's consideration of a consent agenda item to
authorize the City Manager to sign each of the LOI with Honeywell.
As part of the April Workshop discussion, and in anticipation of some questions related to the concept and
project components, Honeywell has offered the following further information regarding this proposal, and
included Attachment #3 as information related to concerns about use of new meter technology:
What benefit does the water rate paver receive from installation of a new meter?
Conservation: It is critical to conserve this natural resource. Modern meters and leak detection sensors
help reduce the amount of unaccounted for water that is introduced to the system and becomes lost, either
through inaccurate meters or system leaks.
Accuracy: As meters age, they become less accurate especially when measuring low flow. Approximately
16% of all domestic water consumption occurs at flow rates of less than one gallon per minute
Equity in billing: Accurate meters require customers to pay for the water they are using. That policy
rewards business and consumers who are conserving and removes them from subsidizing other consumers
who may not be as conscientious with their water usage. Ukiah's rate structure was developed and adopted
by the City to be fair for all consumers. New water meters help ensure that the City's rate structure will be
applied fairly across the board as was intended when adopted.
Will Honeywell be making unchecked profits in small-town Ukiah?
Honeywell practices open-book pricing and Council will be able to view the due diligence of Honeywell's
activities and bottom line profit. No surprises.
What is the risk/impact to either General Funds or Enterprise Funds?:
The program as proposed requires no upfront funds from the City. The program will be paid for entirely
through a combination of energy savings and recovered or generated revenue, mitigating any risk to
General or Enterprise funds. In addition, the program will substantially reduce maintenance and operating
expenses, though these have not been calculated as a means to pay for the program.
Can the Citv neaotiate directly with Honevwell? Whv doesn't the Citv bid evervthina out?
Under the terms of California Code 4217 for Energy Savings Performance Contracts, Public Entities are
permitted to negotiate with state approved Energy Service Companies (ESCOs). Honeywell has been
willing to invest in the design, development and implementation of the proposed program and will assist in
identifying third party funding sources. In addition, each LOI requires Honeywell to develop a contract that
meets specific criteria.
Will the City be able to negotiate terms and contract details with Honeywell? What flexibility does the Citv
have in adjusting the amounts of anticipated savings/revenue from the identified measures?
Honeywell will prepare a contract based on the proposed measures collective viability to either generate
savings and/or revenue. Typically conservative estimates are offered; however, if the City wishes to
negotiate these amounts, Honeywell is willing to discuss the pros/cons and amend per mutual agreement.
Fiscal Impact:
All four of these projects are accounted for in the City's financial system and budget as Enterprise Funds.
This means that they are stand alone activities requiring that the revenues received fully support the cost of
operations for these activities.
Although the Golf Course and Conference Center are often considered to be directly supported by the City's
General Fund, the fact remains that both of these activities have been operated independently of the
General Fund. Combined, these two activities produced revenue of $1.2M for FY 2009/10. These earnings
covered expenditures for the two operations by a margin of $32,648 last fiscal year. Often residents and
employees alike tend to think closure of these two operations would generate either a significant savings in
the General Fund or funds that could be used for other purposes. Neither is true, since these two
operations are Enterprise funds, the result of closure of either enterprise would be loss of revenues with a
corresponding reduction in expenditures, but no net appreciable gain to the General Fund to spend on other
activities of the City's operations.
One of the key reasons to consider the improvements proposed for both the golf course and conference
center is to create the possibility of increased margins (earnings) for these operations, while at the same
time, securing the community's previous investments in these assets for the next decade and beyond.
Should the City decide not to proceed with a project as outlined in the draft LOI, for projects 1-3, the City
would reimburse Honeywell $85,000. The Golf Course project has been separated from the others for the
reasons stated in the draft LOI, and should the City decide not to proceed with that project as outlined in the
draft LOI, the City would reimburse Honeywell $25,000. Staff recommends that the funds to make such a
payment would be generated from the fund balances in each of the respective Enterprise Funds. In the
case of the Sewer Fund (Waste Water Treatment Plant project), City staff recommends that the funding
would come from the City only portion of the joint fund. It is certainly the intention of staff and Council to
include Ukiah Valley Sanitation District in discussions regarding this project and possible financing, during
the investigative work to be undertaken under the LOI.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING A PORTION OF DIVISION 3,
CHAPTER 1 OF THE UKIAH CITY CODE PERTAINING TO THE ADOPTION OF APPENDIX
G IN THE 2010 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE AND REPEALING EXISTING FLOOD PLAIN
MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS CONTAINED IN DIVISION 9, CHAPTER 6 OF THE CITY
CODE
SUMMARY: The current flood plain management regulations contained in the City Code are
inconsistent with new State and Federal regulations, as well as with new regulations for flood
plain development contained in the City's adopted Building Codes. The purpose of this agenda
item is to introduce an ordinance amending the City Code so that consistency with State and
Federal regulations for development in flood plain areas is achieved, and to ensure internal
consistency within the Ukiah City Code.
BACKGROUND: As a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), the City of
Ukiah is required to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations that meet or exceed
the minimum standards of the NFIP. Currently, Ukiah's floodplain regulations are contained in
Division 9, Chapter 6 of the,,Ukiah City Code. Because of the recent building code changes
adopted by the State and the City, ap-well as the minimum standards contained in the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP),-the City's existing floodplain ordinance is outdated. Appendix
G of the 2010.-Galifornia'Buildin Code provides administrative provisions and regulations for
development activities .-in-f o zard areas, which, when combined with the other sections
contained within the body of the Building Code, provide a single regulation for floodplain
management. Accordingly, Staff is recommending that the City adopt Appendix G of the 2010
California Building Code and repeal the existing flood plain management code sections. As part
of its map modernization efforts, new digital flood maps and flood study have been prepared by
FEMA, effective June 2, 2011. Note that these new maps do not change the floodplain
locations within the City of Ukiah; however, the City is required to officially adopt the new Flood

June 2, 2011.
The adoption of Appendix G of the 2010 California Building Code and repealing Division 9,
Chapter 6 of the City Code will also ensure the City of Ukiah's continued compliance with the
NFIP requirements.
WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY CHANGES? The minimum floor elevation for most buildings in
the City (detached one and two family homes and townhomes not more than 3-stories above
grade and their accessory structures) will not change - they will still be allowed to be
constructed at the base flood elevation. The primary changes required in the new regulations
are as follows:
1. Larger residential structures such as triplex structures, apartment buildings, single family
residences/townhomes exceeding 3-stories and all commercial buildings would be
required to be constructed a minimum of 1-foot above the base flood elevation rather
than at the base flood elevation.
2. Hospitals, fire and police stations and other emergency related buildings would be
required to have their floor elevations constructed 2-feet above base flood elevation.
CONCLUSION: New State and Federal regulations for development in the floodplain have
prompted Staff to review the existing flood plain regulations contained in the Ukiah City Code.
The existing regulations are inconsistent with the State regulations and with the important
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations. Additionally, updated flood maps must
be adopted prior to their June 2, 2011 effective date. Failure to comply with the minimum
standards of the NFIP could increase rates or jeopardize flood insurance policies for property
owners. Accordingly, Staff is recommending updating our local flood plain management
regulations to be consistent with Federal regulations and with the provisions of the 2010
California Building Code.
ENVIRONMENTAL (CEQA) DETERMINATION: Staff has determined that the code
amendment project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act,
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) because based on the information contained in the record, it
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the code amendments would cause a
significant effect on the environment.

• construction and substantial, that fully
enclosedareas below the lowest floor that : are subject to flooding shall be
designed. to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on - exterlor4alls by
allowing, for the entry and. exit of.. floodwaters. Designs..'.-for meeting this
requirement must either be. certified -by.a registered;. professional engineer or
architect or meet or exceed the following minimum criteria:
a. Either a minimum of two (2) openings having a total net area of not less
than one square 'inch for every square foot of. enclosed area subject to flooding
shall be provided.. The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than 'one foot
above grade.. Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves or other
coverings or devices provided 'that they permit the automatic entry and exit of
floodwaters; or
b. Be, certified to comply with -a local . floodproofing standard approved by
the Federal Insurance Administration.
5. Manufactured homes shall also meet the standards In §9668. (Ord. 789, §1,
adopted 1982; amd. by Ord. 875, §11, adopted 1988)

A. All new and replacement water supply and sanitary sewage systems shall be
designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the' system and
discharge from systems into flood waters;
B. On site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or
contamination from them during flooding. (Ord. 789, §1, adopted 1982; amd. by
Ord. 875, §1, adopted 1988)
§9667: STANDARDS FOR SUBDIVISIONS:
A. All preliminary subdivision proposals shall identify the flood hazard area and the
elevation of the base flood.
B. All final subdivision plans will provide the elevation of proposed structure(s) and
pads. If the site is filled above the base flood, the final pad elevation shall be
certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor and provided to the
Flood Plain Administrator.
C. All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood
damage.

collapse or lateral movement. (Ord. 789, §1, adopted 1982; amd. by Ord. 875,
§1, adopted 1988)
§9669: FLOODWAYS: Located within special flood hazard areas established in
§9651 are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an
extremely hakardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris,
potential projectiles and erosion potential, the following provisions apply:
A. -Prohibit . encroachments, including fill, new construction; substantial
improvements and other development unless certification by 'a registered
professional engineer or architect Is provided demonstrating that encroachments
shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of, the base
.flood discharge.,
B. If §9669A is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall
comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Article 5.
C. If no floodway is identified then a setback of twenty feet (20') from the bank(s)
of. the watercourse will be established where. encroachment will be prohibited.

PREFACE
This document is Part 2 of 12 parts of the official triennial compilation and publication of the adoptions, amendments
and repeal of administrative regulations to California Code of Regulations, Title 24, also referred to as the California
Building Standards Code. This Part is known as the California Building Code.
The California Building Standards Cade is published in its entirety every three years by order of the California legisla-
ture, with supplements published in intervening years. The California legislature delegated authority to various state
agencies, boards, commissions and departments to create building regulations to implement the State's statutes. These +
building regulations or standards, have the same force of law, and take effect 180 days after theirpublication unless oth-
erwise stipulated. The California Building Standards Code applies to occupancies in the State of California as anno-
tated.
- A city, county or city and county may establish more restrictive building standards reasonably necessary because of
local climatic, geological or topographical conditions. Findings of the local condition(s) and the adopted local building
standard(s) must be fled with theCalifornia Building Standards Commission to become effective and may not he effec-
tive sooner than the effective date of this edition of California Building Standards Code. Local building standards that
were adopted and applicable to previous editions of the California Building Standards Code do not apply to this edition
without appropriate adoption and the required filing.
Should you find publication (e.g., typographical) errors or inconsistencies in this code or wish to offer comments
toward improving its format, please address your comments to:

tect human life, minimize the expenditure of public money for
flood control projects, minimize the need for rescue and relief
efforts associated with f tooding, minimize prolonged business
interruption, minimize damage to public facilities and utilities,
help Waintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use
and development of flood-prone areas, contribute to improved
conptruction techniques in the flood plain and ensure that
potential owners and occupants are notified that property is
within flood hazard areas.
G101.3 Scope. The provisions of this appendix shall apply to
all proposed development in a flood hazard area established in
Section 1612 of this code, including certain building work
exempt from permit under Section 105.2.

SECTION G102
APPLICABILITY
G102.1 General. This appendix, in conjunction with the Inter-
4 ' national Building Code, provides minimum requirements for
developmentlocatedinfloodhazardareas, including the subdi-
vision of land; installation of utilities; placement and replace-
ment of manufactured homes; new construction and repair,
reconstruction, rehabilitation or additions to new construction,
substantial improvement of existing buildings and. structures,
including restoration after damage, temporary structures, and
temporary. or perananent storage, utility and miscellaneous
Croup V buiidi .gi. and structures, and certain building work
exempt from permit under Section 105.2.

Building Code,.adopted by the applicable.governing authority
on [INSERT DATA].
SECTION G103
POwER$ AND DITTIES
G103.1 permit applications. The building official shall
review all permit applications to determine whether proposed
development sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. H a
proposed development site is in a f toad liazwo area, an spite
development activities. (including grading, filling, utility
installation and drainage modiftoatiou),, all new construction
and substantial. improvements (including the placement of pre-
fabricated buildings and manufactured homes) and certain
building workexemptf om permitunder Secpon 105.2 shall be
dealp.ed and constructed with methods, practices and ruateri-
als that minimizeflQod damage and that are in accordance with
this code said .ASCB 24.
G103.2 Other permits. It shall be the responsibility of the
building official to assure that approval of a proposed develop-
ment shall not be given until proof that necessary permits have
been granted by federal or state agencies having jurisdiction
over such development.
G103.3 Determination of design flood elevations. If design
flood elevations are not specified, the building official is autho-
rized to require the applicant to,
1. Obtain, review and reasonably utilize data available
from a federal, state or other source, or
2. Determine the design flood elevation in accordance with
accepted hydrologic and hydraulic engineering tech-
niques. Such analyses shall be performed and sealed by a
registered design professional. Studies, analyses and
computations shall be submitted in sufficient detail to
allow review and approval by the building official, The
accuracy of data submitted for such determination shall
be the responsibility of the applicant.
G103A Activities in riverine flood hazard areas. In riverine
flood hazard areas where design flood elevations are specified
but floodways have not been designated, the building official
shall not permit any new construction, substantial improve-
ment or other development, including fill, unless the applicant
demonstrates that the cumulative effect of the proposed devel-

opment, when combined with all other existing and anticipated
flood hazard area encroachment, will not increase the design
flood elevation more than 1 foot (305 mm) at any point within
the community.
G103.5 Noodway encroachment. Prior to issuing a permit for
any floodway encroachment, inoluding fill; new construction,
substantial improvements and other development or land-
dis-turbing activity, the building qfflcial shall require submission

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
13b
May 4, 2011
SUBJECT: APPROVE RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
ALL OF THE NECESSARY AGREEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LODI ENERGY
CENTER NATURAL GAS PURCHASE PROGRAM. (EUD)
Background: City of Ukiah ("City of Ukiah") is a Project Participant in the Lodi Energy Center and other
natural gas fired generation facilities. The Lodi Energy Center is a 280 MW natural gas fired generation
facility that is scheduled to become commercially operational by June 2012. As a result, City of Ukiah now
has a need to procure natural gas through the use of forward market purchases to assure greater rate
stability for our customers.
Discussion: In response to this need, Northern California Power Agency ("NCPA"), through coordination
with City of Ukiah staff, has developed a Natural Gas Purchase Program that can be used by City of Ukiah
to purchase natural gas as fuel for electric power generation for the benefit of our customers. If City of
Ukiah elects to become a Participant in the Natural Gas Purchase Program, by executing the Natural Gas
Program Agreement, City of Ukiah may direct NCPA to purchase natural gas, through the use of forward
market purchases or physical call options, to reduce the portion of its natural gas needs that would
otherwise have to be obtained in a potentially volatile spot market; thereby assuring greater rate stability for
our customers. The Natural Gas Program Agreement is included as Attachment 1 to this staff report.
Participation in the Natural Gas Purchase Program will also provide a means for City of Ukiah to take
advantage of reduced procurement costs through economies of scale, and will enable City of Ukiah to
diversify its counterparty risk by subscribing to a more diverse portfolio of natural gas contracts than if City
of Ukiah individually selected a single natural gas supplier.
In addition to purchasing natural gas for physical delivery through the Natural Gas Purchase Program, City
of Ukiah may also elect to have the opportunity to stabilize its long-term natural gas fuel costs and budgets
through the use of financial market transactions. If City of Ukiah elects to use financial transactions to
stabilize its natural gas fuel costs, it must execute the Financial Addendum attached to the Natural Gas
Program Agreement as Exhibit C. Use of financial transactions, and execution of the Financial Addendum,
is purely voluntary and is not required to participate in the Natural Gas Purchase Program.
Natural Gas Purchase Program Procurement Process: City of Ukiah, as a Participant in the Natural Gas
Purchase Program can direct NCPA to procure natural gas on its behalf from third parties using competitive
bids submitted in response to a NCPA Request For Proposals, or through direct purchases from the State
Recommended Action(s): APPROVE RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER
TO EXECUTE ALL OF THE NECESSARY AGREEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LODI
ENERGY CENTER NATURAL GAS PURCHASE PROGRAM. (EUD)
Alternative Council Option(s):
Citizens advised:
Requested by: Mel Grandi, Electric Utility Director
Prepared by: Mel Grandi, Electric Utility Director and Diann Lucchetti, Administrative Secretary
Coordinated with: Dave Rapport, City Attorney
Attachments: (1) Natural Gas Agreement (2) Resolution
Approved:
41Z_tv~,_
J Chambers, City Manager
Department of General Services ("DGS") Gas Program, or its successor program, so long as the DGS
program is available. All procurement of natural gas under the Natural Gas Purchase Program must meet
certain conditions, including 1) all market purchases of natural gas shall be consummated in accordance
with all NCPA Energy Risk Management Policy requirements including those limiting the term and volume of
Natural Gas transactions; 2) each market purchase of natural gas, including the purchase of physical call
options for natural gas, shall be capable of physical delivery unless City of Ukiah executes the financial
addendum to the Natural Gas Program Agreement, in which case City of Ukiah may direct NCPA to
purchase financially equivalent transactions; 3) the third party Gas Purchase Agreements used to purchase
natural gas shall be in the form of industry-standard forms of agreement for natural gas purchases,
however, in any given instance, such agreement may be modified in the discretion of the NCPA General
Manager and NCPA's General Counsel, after consultation with City of Ukiah, to include additional terms and
conditions approved by City of Ukiah; and 4) any environmental attributes associated with a given natural
gas purchase will be procured by NCPA for the proportionate benefit of the Participants, including City of
Ukiah, that have subscribed to a given transaction.
City of Ukiah, as a Participant in the Natural Gas Purchase Program will identify Designated
Representatives to authorize NCPA and approve the form of third party Gas Purchase Agreement NCPA is
to use to purchase natural gas by executing a Participant Purchase Confirmation substantially in the form of
Exhibit A to the Natural Gas Program Agreement.
Third Party Gas Purchase Agreements: NCPA will procure natural gas on behalf of City of Ukiah through
use of industry-standard forms of agreement for natural gas purchases as provided in Exhibit B of the
Natural Gas Program Agreement, including but not limited to the NAESB base contract. NCPA staff,
working in conjunction with its Special Counsel, has developed a standard form NAESB base contract, and
a set of special provisions that are attached to the standard form NAESB base contract, to be used to
purchase natural gas under the Natural Gas Purchase Program. NCPA will use its standard form NAESB
base contract with special provisions to negotiate master natural gas purchase agreements with credit
worthy suppliers.
In addition to NCPA's standard form NAESB base contract, NCPA has developed a model credit support
addendum, and associated special provisions to the model credit support addendum, to be used in
conjunction with the NCPA standard form NAESB base contract as required.
Natural Gas Purchase Program Costs and Security Account: The costs for participating in the Natural
Gas Purchase Program include 1) a monthly fixed charge of $600, 2) a proportionate share of variable
program costs (referred to as Variable GPP Costs) based on City of Ukiah's activity in the program, 3)
transaction specific costs associated with City of Ukiah's natural gas transactions, and 4) commodity costs
specific to City of Ukiah's natural gas transactions. In addition to the costs listed above, City of Ukiah will be
charged its proportionate share of program start-up costs, which include staff costs, legal costs, and costs
associated with establishing the third party Gas Purchase Agreements that will be used under the Natural
Gas Purchase Program. City of Ukiah's share of program start-up costs will be equal to its normalized
Participation Percentage in the Lodi Energy Center.
City of Ukiah, as a Participant in the Natural Gas Purchase Program will also be required to deposit funds
into a Security Account held by NCPA prior to entering into any natural gas transactions. City of Ukiah will
be required to deposit into the Security Account held by NCPA an amount equal to the highest three (3)
months of estimated commodity costs for all natural gas transactions City of Ukiah has or will subscribe to
as estimated by NCPA; provided, however, that such deposit may be satisfied in whole or in part either in
cash or through a clean, irrevocable, letter of credit. City of Ukiah's Security Account deposit will be
monitored by NCPA to ensure it is sufficient to support City of Ukiah's procurement activities, and to the
extent City of Ukiah's Security Account is over or under funded NCPA will make adjustments to City of
Ukiah's account by either refunding surplus funds, or demanding additional funds be deposited in the
Security Account if the current level of funds is deficit. In addition to the regular process for funding the
Security Account, NCPA has the right to request City of Ukiah make emergency deposits into the Security
Account in order to support City of Ukiah's obligations.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of developing the Natural Gas Purchase Program will be billed based on actual
costs, and will be allocated to each member who elects to participate in the program, including City of
Ukiah, in proportion to its normalized project participation percentage in the Lodi Energy Center. All
prospective costs associated with management and administration of the Natural Gas Purchase Program
will be included in the NCPA Annual Budget, and will be allocated to those members who elect to participate
in the program, including City of Ukiah, in accordance with the Natural Gas Program Agreement.
Environmental Analysis: This activity would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect
change in the physical environment and is therefore not a "project" for purposes of Section 21065 the
California Environmental Quality Act. No environmental review is necessary.
Recommendation: Ukiah's Electric Utility Department staff recommends that the City Council delegates
authority to City Manager and Electric Utility Director to execute the Natural Gas Program Agreement to
provide a means for. City of Ukiah to reduce the portion of its natural gas needs that would otherwise have to
be obtained in a potentially volatile spot market, through the use of forward market purchases of natural
gas; thereby assuring greater rate stability for its customers.

5.1 Participant Payment Obligations. Each Participant agrees to pay
NCPA each month the sum of (a), (b), and (c) as follows: (a) Fixed GPP Costs of
$600, (which sum may be adjusted by the Commission each year in its discretion
during the adoption of the Annual Budget to reflect increased costs with thirty
(30) days' prior written notice to Participants), for each month a Participant is a
party to this Agreement, and one-twelfth of the Variable GPP Costs as
determined below in Section 5.2; plus (b) Transaction Specific Costs for each
Eligible Gas Purchase that Participant subscribes to; plus (c) Commodity Costs.
In addition, each Participant shall maintain working capital in accordance with

Agreement.
19
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
5.2 Calculation of and True-Up for GPP Costs. Participants' payment
obligations for Variable GPP Costs under section 5.1 shall be calculated as
follows. For each Fiscal Year, NCPA shall estimate the total Variable GPP Costs
to be incurred under this Agreement and this total will be divided by the
Participants' total MMBtu forecast during the Fiscal Year to determine the
estimated Variable GPP Cost on a per MMBtu basis ("Variable GPP Unit Cost").
The Variable GPP Unit Cost will then be multiplied by the total monthly MMBtu
subscribed to by each Participant to determine the amount owed by each
Participant for Variable GPP Costs under section 5.1(a) above. Upon the
conclusion of a Fiscal Year, NCPA shall compare each Participant's payment of
all Fixed and Variable GPP Costs with the actual total GPP Costs incurred on
behalf of Participant such that overpayments will be credited to, and
underpayments will debited to each Participant's account in accordance with
NCPA's Annual Budget settlements.
5.3 Security Account. Any deposits into a Security Account pursuant
to this Agreement shall be separate from and in addition to any security accounts
maintained pursuant to the Market Purchase Program Agreement between
NCPA and certain Participants, or any other such security account required of
NCPA Members.
20
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
5.3.1 Initial Amounts. Prior to subscribing to an Eligible Gas
Purchase, a Participant shall deposit into the Security Account held by NCPA
on account equal to the highest three (3) months of estimated Commodity
Costs for all Eligible Gas Purchases Participant has or will subscribe to as
estimated by NCPA; provided, however, that such deposit may be satisfied in
whole or in part either in cash or through a clean, irrevocable letter of credit
satisfactory to NCPA's General Manager.
5.3.2 Subsequent Deposits. Periodically, and at least quarterly,
NCPA shall review and revise its estimate of all costs which Participant shall
be obligated to pay under this Agreement. Following such review, NCPA
shall determine whether each Participant has a sufficient balance in the
Security Account. To the extent that any Participant's balance in the Security
Account is greater than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the amount
required herein, NCPA shall credit such amount as soon as practicable to the
Participant's next following All Resource Bill. To the extent that any
Participant's balance in the Security Account is less than ninety percent (90%)
of the amount required herein, NCPA shall add such amount as soon as
practicable to such Participant's next All Resource Bill, or as necessary, to a
special invoice to Participant. Credits or additions shall not be made to
Participants who satisfy these Security Account requirements in whole
21
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
through the use of a letter of credit, provided that the amount of the letter of
credit shall be adjusted by the Participant as necessary in a like manner to
assure an amount equal to the highest three (3) months of estimated
Commodity Costs is available to NCPA.
5.3.3 Use of Security Account Funds. NCPA may use any and
all funds deposited into the Security Account (or utilize a letter of credit
provided in lieu thereof) to pay any costs it incurs hereunder, including
making payments to counterparties under any GPA or for termination
payments, requests for assurances by Third Parties, credit support, and
related expenses under a GPA, without regard to any individual Participant's
balance in the Security Account or proportionate share of GPP Costs and
irrespective of whether NCPA has issued an All Resources Bill or invoice for
such costs to the Participants or whether a Participant has made timely
payments of All Resources Bills or invoices. Should Participant have satisfied
its Security Account requirements in whole or part through a letter of credit,
NCPA may draw on such letter of credit to satisfy Participant's obligations
hereunder.
If funds deposited into the Security Account, or provided
through a letter of credit, are used by NCPA to pay any costs it incurs
hereunder as described in Section 5.3.3, NCPA, pursuant to Section 5.3.5, will
22
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
maintain a detailed accounting of each Participant's shares of funds
withdrawn from the Security Account or letter of credit, and upon the
collection of all or a part of such withdrawn funds, NCPA will credit back to
each Participant the funds collected in proportion to such non-defaulting
Participant's share of funds withdrawn from the Security Account or letter of
credit.
5.3.4 Emergency Additions. In the event that the funds are
withdrawn pursuant to Section 5.3.3 of this Agreement, or if the Security
Account is insufficient to allow payment of an invoice, demand, request for
further assurances by Third Parties, or Claims, NCPA shall notify all
Participants and then prepare and send a special or emergency assessment to
the Participants. Each Participant shall pay to N, CPA such assessment when
and if assessed by NCPA within two (2) Business Days of the invoice date of
the assessment or consent to and direct NCPA to draw on any existing letter
of credit Participant has established for such purposes.
5.3.5 Accounting and Interest. NCPA shall maintain a detailed
accounting of each Participant's deposits into and shares of withdrawals from
the Security Account. Monies on deposit in the Security Account shall be
invested by NCPA in accordance with the Investment Policy adopted by the
NCPA Commission. Interest earned on the Security Account shall be
23
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
proportionately credited to the Participants in accordance with the balances
in each Participant's Security Account. Any losses in the Security Account
caused by early termination of investments or otherwise shall be allocated
among the Participants in accordance with their proportionate Subscription
Percentages.
5.3.6 Return of Funds. On the termination of this Agreement
with respect to a Participant or a permitted withdrawal of a Participant in
accordance with this Agreement, the affected Participant or Participants may
apply to NCPA for the return of their share of Security Account funds ninety
(90) days after the effective date of such termination or withdrawal. NCPA
shall, in its sole discretion, as determined by the General Manager, estimate
the then outstanding liabilities of the Participant(s), including any estimated
contingent liabilities and shall retain all such funds until all such liabilities
have been fully paid or otherwise satisfied in full. After such determination
by NCPA's General Manager, the balance of the Participant's share of the
Security Account will be refunded to the Participant within sixty (60) days.
5.4 Invoicing.
5.4.1 Invoices. As part of NCPA's regular, monthly, advance
billing (the "All Resources Bill") or by separate special invoice, as required in
the circumstances, NCPA will issue an invoice to each Participant for its
24

but in any event no later than thirty (30) days following receipt thereof;
provided, however, that any amount due on a day other than a Business Day
25
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
may be paid on the following Business Day. NCPA may apply a Participant's
share of the Security Account to the payment of all or any portion of an
invoice issued to such Participant (including that portion of an invoice
relating to the GPP), provided that application of such funds from the
Security Account shall not relieve the Participant from any late payment
charges pursuant to Section 5.4.3. To the extent that NCPA applies funds
from the Security Account to pay an amount due under an invoice, following
receipt of payment of such invoice by the relevant Participant, NCPA shall
deposit the relevant portion of the payment into the Security Account and
credit such deposit to such Participant. Emergency invoices shall be due as
indicated in section 5.3.4 above.
5.4.3 Late Payments. Any amount due and not paid by a
Participant in accordance with Sections 5.3.4 and 5.4.2 shall bear interest

Section 7. Subscription Percentages; Admission and Withdrawal of
Participants.
30
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
7.1 Subscription Percentages. The Subscription Percentages of each
Participant shall be maintained in NCPA's Deal Capture System and summary
reports therefrom will be provided to Participants upon request.
7.2 Admission of New Participants. Following the Effective Date of
this Agreement, a Member may execute this Agreement and become a
Participant provided that: 1) such joinder is approved by the NCPA Commission;
and 2) the new Participant a) reimburses existing Participants for a
proportionate share of the applicable costs identified during NCPA's Annual
Budget process and any GPP Costs incurred to establish and administer this GPP
Program, and b) satisfies all Security Account requirements under this
Agreement. A new Participant shall not be entitled to any Environmental
Attributes or Natural Gas from Eligible Gas Purchases consummated prior to the
date it becomes a Participant unless one or more of the existing Participants
("Allocating Participants") elect to allocate a portion of its Subscription
Percentage to such new Participant. Upon an agreement thereof and affirmative
vote thereon by all Allocating Participants, NCPA shall prepare and distribute to
each Participant the written agreement between the new Participant and the
Allocating Participant(s) indicating the agreed upon change in the Subscription
Percentage(s) for the designated Eligible Gas Purchase(s), a counterpart of this
Agreement executed by the new Participant, and a report from NCPA's Deal
31
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Capture System reflecting the revised Subscription Percentages. Any reduction
in any Allocating Participant's share of the Security Account shall be credited to
the Allocating Participants in accordance with Section 5.3.2.
7.3 Withdrawal of Participants.
7.3.1 Requirements and Process. A Participant may
voluntarily withdraw from this Agreement ("Withdrawing Participant") by
providing two (2) years' advance written notice to NCPA and the other
Participants. Upon the mutual agreement of two or more Participants, the
Withdrawing Participant may assign some or all of its Subscription
Percentage share of its Eligible Gas Purchases to another Participant
("Adjusting Participant") willing to assume the Withdrawing Participant's
Subscription Percentage, if such withdrawal and assignment does not violate
any applicable credit support conditions contained in any of the relevant
agreements to which the Withdrawing Participant and/or the Adjusting
Participant is a party to. The Withdrawing Participant shall provide to NCPA
the applicable assignment agreement between the Withdrawing Participant
and the Adjusting Participant(s) regarding any such assignments and NCPA
shall reflect the change in its Deal Capture System recording the new
allocation of Subscription Percentages.
32
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
7.3.2 Associated Costs. A Withdrawing Participant shall
reimburse NCPA for any and all costs resulting from the withdrawal,
including but not limited to the legal, accounting, and administrative costs of
winding up and assuring the complete satisfaction and discharge of the
Withdrawing Participant's obligations. A Withdrawing Participant will
continue to be liable for all Eligible Gas Purchases entered into on its behalf
which is not assumed by an Adjusting Participant.
7.3.3 No Effect on Prior Liabilities. Withdrawal by any
Participant will not terminate any ongoing or un-discharged contingent
liabilities or obligations resulting from this Agreement until they are assigned
to an Adjusting Participant, or are otherwise satisfied in full, or such
Withdrawing Participant has provided a mechanism reasonably acceptable to
NCPA and the remaining Participants, for the satisfaction in full thereof.
Section 8. Term and Termination. The Term of this Agreement shall
commence on the Effective Date, continue for five (5) years, and shall be
automatically extended for two (2) years on every other anniversary of this
Agreement as to each Participant that has not withdrawn in accordance with
Section 7.3 or otherwise voluntarily or involuntarily had their participation in
this Agreement terminated. After the initial five (5) year term has expired,
33
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
NCPA may terminate this Agreement upon two (2) years' advance written notice
to all Participants.

(ii) the failure of the Defaulting Party to perform any other
covenant or obligation under this Agreement where such failure is not cured
within ten (10) calendar days following receipt of a notice from NCPA
demanding cure (provided that this shall not apply to any failure to make
payments (which is covered by Section 9.1 (i))); or
(iii) if any representation or warranty of the Defaulting Party
material to the transactions contemplated hereby shall prove to have been
incorrect in any material respect when made and the Defaulting Party does not
cure the facts underlying such incorrect representation or warranty so that the
representation or warranty becomes true and correct within ten (10) calendar
days of the date of receipt of notice from any other Party demanding cure; or

NATURAL, GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
(iv) if a Participant is in default or in breach of any of its covenants
under any other agreement with NCPA and such default or breach is not cured
within the time periods specified in such agreement; or
(v) the failure of NCPA to perform any covenant or obligation
under this Agreement following a ten (10) calendar day notice to cure by any
non-defaulting Member.
9.2 Cure of an Event of Default. An Event of Default shall be deemed
cured only if such default shall be remedied within the time period specified in
Section 9.1 above, as may be applicable, after written notice has been sent to the
Defaulting Party from NCPA specifying the default and demanding that the
same be remedied; provided, however, that the failure of a Party to provide such
notice shall not be deemed a waiver of such default.
9.3 Participation Rights Of Defaulting Party. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
until such Event of Default is cured, the Participant that is the Defaulting Party
shall not have the right to participate under Section 6.2 on any matters with
respect to this Agreement.
9.4 Remedies in the Event of Default.
9.4.1 Remedies of NCPA. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default where a Participant is the Defaulting Party, without limiting its other
35
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
rights or remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity, and
without constituting or resulting in a waiver, release or estoppel of any right,
action or cause of action NCPA may have against the Defaulting Party
Participant, NCPA may:
(i) suspend the provision of services under this Agreement
to such Defaulting Party, including the delivery of Natural Gas and other
attributes of any Eligible Gas Purchases until the Event of Default is cured; and
(ii) demand that the Defaulting Party provide further
assurances to compel the correction of the default, including the collection of a
surcharge, or such other actions as may be necessary to produce Revenues to
secure the cure of the Event of Default; and
(iii) terminate this Agreement as to the Defaulting Party, on
ten (10) calendar days' prior written notice to the Defaulting Party and following
approval of the non-defaulting Participants.
9.4.2 Sale/Transfer of Participant's Account Upon Default.

for the Defaulting Party's account all or a portion of the Defaulting Party's
Natural Gas and/or Environmental Attributes for the remainder of the term of
36
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
this Agreement. Notwithstanding that all or any portion of the Defaulting
Party's capacity is so sold or transferred, the Defaulting Party shall remain
liable for all of its obligations not otherwise satisfied by the sale or transfer of
Defaulting Party's capacity hereunder unless released therefrom by NCPA
upon assumption by a transferee or assignee.
9.4.3 Remedies of Participants. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default where NCPA is the Defaulting Party, and following the
applicable cure periods, the Participants may, without limiting their other
rights or remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity, and
without constituting or resulting in a waiver, release or estoppel of any right,
action or cause of action the Participants may have against NCPA, terminate
this Agreement in whole, subject to the provisions of Section 9.5.4.
9.4.4 Special Covenants Regarding Security Account. In the
event that a Participant's balance of the Security Account is insufficient to
cover all invoices for costs incurred under this Agreement sent to such
Participant, then, without limiting NCPA's other rights or remedies available
under this Agreement, at law or in equity, such Participant shall cooperate in
good faith with NCPA and shall cure the default as rapidly as possible, on an
emergency basis, taking all such action as is necessary, including, but not
limited to, raising rates and charges to its customers to increase its Revenues
37
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
to replenish its share of the Security Account as provided herein, drawing on
its cash-on-hand and lines of credit, obtaining further assurances by way of
credit support and letters of credit, and taking all such other action as will
cure the default with all due haste.
9.5 Effect of Termination or Suspension.
9.5.1 Genes The suspension or termination of this
Agreement will not terminate, waive, or otherwise discharge any ongoing or
undischarged contingent liabilities or obligations arising from this Agreement
until such obligations are satisfied in full, and all of the costs incurred by
NCPA in connection with such suspension or termination, including
reasonable attorney fees, the fees and expenses of other experts, including
auditors and accountants, other costs and expenses that NCPA is entitled to
recover under this Agreement, and other reasonable and necessary costs
associated with any and all of the remedies, are paid in full.
9.5.2 Suspension by NCPA. If performance of all or any
portion of this Agreement is suspended by NCPA with respect to a

other experts, including auditors and accountants, other reasonable and
necessary costs associated with such termination and any portion of the GPP
Costs that were not, or will not be, recovered from such Participant as a result

with respect to the last remaining Participant, then this Agreement shall
terminate.
9.5.4 Termination by Participants. If this Agreement is
terminated by all Participants in accordance with Section 9.4.3, or by
unanimous consent of all of the Parties hereto, then the Participants shall pay
to NCPA all previously unpaid GPP Costs incurred as of the date of such
termination, and following such termination, the Participants shall cooperate
and act in good faith to negotiate and agree upon the method of allocating

matters pertaining to the administration, management, control, operation and
maintenance of the Eligible Gas Purchases. NCPA shall reasonably cooperate
with the Participants in connection with implementing the foregoing and the
Participants shall indemnify NCPA for any costs incurred in connection
therewith, including reasonable attorney fees, fees and expenses of other
experts, including auditors and accountants and other reasonable and
necessary costs. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement as to the
foregoing, then the Parties agree to submit the matter to mediation with a
mutually agreed upon mediator. If the Parties are still unable to reach

arbitration subject to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, the
costs of such arbitration being borne proportionally among the Participants.
Section 10. Miscellaneous
10.1 Confidentiality. The Parties will keep confidential all confidential
or trade secret information made available to them in connection with this
Agreement, to the extent possible, consistent with applicable laws, including the
California Public Records Act. It shall be the responsibility of the holder of the
claim of confidentiality or trade secret to defend at its expense against any
40
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
request that such information be disclosed. Confidential or trade secret
information shall be marked or expressly identified as such.
10.2 Indemnification and Hold Harmless. Subject to the provisions of
Section 10.4, each Participant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
NCPA and its Members, including their respective governing officials, officers,
agents, and employees, from and against any and all claims, suits, losses, costs,
damages, expenses and liability of any kind or nature, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and the costs of litigation, including experts ("Claims"), to the
extent caused by any acts, omissions, breach of contract, negligence (active or
passive), gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of that Participant,
its governing officials, officers, employees, subcontractors or agents, to the
maximum extent permitted by law.
10.3 Joint Liabilities. No Participant shall, in the first instance, be liable
under this Agreement for the obligations of any other Participant or for the
obligations of NCPA incurred on behalf of other Participants. Each Participant
shall be solely responsible and liable for performance of its obligations under this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided for herein. The obligation of each
Participant under this Agreement is a several obligation and not a joint
obligation with those of the other Participants.
41
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participants acknowledge that any debts or
obligations incurred by NCPA under this Agreement on behalf of any of them
shall be borne solely by such Participants, and not by non-Participant Members
of NCPA, pursuant to Article IV, Section 3(b) of the joint Powers Agreement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Joint Powers Agreement and the general
nature of the severability of liabilities in this Agreement, the Participants agree
that, if a Participant defaults under this Agreement, the non-defaulting
Participants will be jointly liable for the obligations of such defaulting Participant
in proportion to each non-defaulting Participant's share of the total cost of all
outstanding Eligible Gas Purchases entered into by all non-defaulting
Participants during the five (5) years prior to the date of the default, unless and
until NCPA is able to fully recover from the defaulting Participant. Provided,
however, that any non-defaulting Participant with no outstanding Eligible Gas
Purchases for the five (5) years prior the date of the default shall nonetheless
have an obligation equal to one-half (1/2) that of the non-defaulting Participant
with the lowest outstanding Eligible Gas Purchases during such five (5) year
period, and that if no non-defaulting Participant has outstanding Eligible Gas
Purchases during such five (5) year period, then each non-defaulting Participant
shall share the obligation equally. In the event that the date of default occurs
within the first five (5) years of the term of this Agreement, then such five (5)
42
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
year period shall be shortened to include the time from the effective date of this
Agreement until the date of the default.
10.4 No Consequential Damages. FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY
PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR WHICH AN EXPRESS REMEDY OR
MEASURE OF DAMAGES IS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE
LIABILITY OF THE DEFAULTING PARTY SHALL BE LIMITED AS SET
FORTH IN SUCH PROVISION, AND ALL OTHER DAMAGES OR REMEDIES
ARE HEREBY WAIVED. IF NO REMEDY OR MEASURE OF DAMAGE IS
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED, THE LIABILITY OF THE DEFAULTING PARTY
SHALL BE LIMITED TO ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY AND ALL OTHER
DAMAGES AND REMEDIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED. IN NO EVENT SHALL
NCPA OR ANY PARTICIPANT OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS,
ASSIGNS, REPRESENTATIVES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, OR
EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, CONSEQUENTIAL,
SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL LOSSES OR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOST
REVENUES, LOSS OF PROFIT OR LOSS OF CONTRACTS EVEN IF SUCH
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES,
AND NCPA AND EACH PARTICIPANT EACH HEREBY WAIVES SUCH
43
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
CLAIMS AND RELEASES EACH OTHER AND EACH OF SUCH PERSONS
FROM ANY SUCH LIABILITY.
The Parties acknowledge that California Civil Code section 1542 provides
that: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not
know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release,
which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement
with the debtor." The Parties waive the provisions of section 1542, or other
similar provisions of law, and intend that the waiver and release provided by
this section of this Agreement shall be fully enforceable despite its reference to
future or unknown claims.
10.5 Amendments. Except where this Agreement specifically provides
otherwise, this Agreement may be amended only by written instrument executed
by the Parties with the same formality as this Agreement.
10.6 Severability. In the event that any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or the application of any such term, covenant or
condition, shall be held invalid as to any person or circumstance by any court
having jurisdiction, all other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement
and their application shall not be affected thereby, but shall remain in force and
effect unless the court holds that such provisions are not severable from all other
provisions of this Agreement.
44
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, governed by,
and construed under the laws of the State of California.

similar items are provided for the purpose of convenience and are not intended
to be inclusive, definitive, or affect the meaning of the contents of this Agreement
or the scope thereof.
10.9 Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or authorized by
this Agreement to be given to any party shall be in writing, and shall either be
personally delivered to a Participant's Designated Representative and the
Secretary of the Commission or transmitted to the Participant and the Secretary
of the Commission at the address shown on the signature pages hereof. The
designation of such address may be changed at any time by written notice given
to the Secretary of the Commission who shall thereupon give written notice of
such change to each Participant.
10.10 Warranty of Authority. Each Participant, and NCPA, represents
and warrants that it has been duly authorized by all requisite approval and
action to execute and deliver this Agreement and that this Agreement is a
binding, legal, and valid agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms as to
the Participant and as to NCPA. Upon execution of this Agreement, each
Participant shall deliver to NCPA a resolution of the governing body of such
45
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
Participant evidencing approval of and authority to enter into this Agreement
and an opinion of legal counsel that such authority was duly exercised in
accordance with such Participant's Constitutive Documents.
10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and each executed counterpart shall have the same force and effect
as an original instrument and as if all the signatories to all of the counterparts
had signed the same instrument. Any signature page of this Agreement may be
detached from any counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal
effect of any signatures thereon, and may be attached to another counterpart of
this Agreement identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more
signature pages.
10.12 Assignment. Except as provided by Section 7 of this Agreement, no
Participant may assign or otherwise transfer their interest in the Subscription
Percentage or any other rights and obligations under this Agreement without the
express written consent of NCPA.

46
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
10.14 Attorneys' Fees. If a Party to this Agreement brings any action,
including an action for declaratory relief, to enforce or interpret the provision of
this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys'
fees in addition to any other relief to which that Party may be entitled. The court
may set such fees in the same action or in a separate action brought for that
purpose.
10.15 Interpretation. Each Party to this Agreement is sophisticated in the
operation of electric utilities, and in the purchasing and financing of Natural Gas.
Each Party to this Agreement was represented by counsel during the negotiation
of this Agreement. Hence, this Agreement shall be interpreted as being equally
drafted by all Parties and without reference to Civil Code Section 1654 requiring
interpretation against Parties causing an ambiguity.
10.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Agreement
is intended by the Parties, nor shall any provision of this Agreement be deemed
or construed by the Parties or by any third person, to be for the benefit of any
third party, nor shall any third party have any right to enforce any provision of
this Agreement or be entitled to damages for any breach by the Parties of any of
the provisions of this Agreement.

Exhibit C
EXHIBIT C
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT
FINANCIAL ADDENDUM
This Natural Gas Program Agreement Financial Addendum ("Financial
Addendum") is entered into by and between Northern California Power Agency,
a joint powers agency of the State of California ("NCPA"), and those of its
Members who are Participants to the Natural Gas Program Agreement (the
"Agreement") who also execute this Financial Addendum ("Financial
Participants" and each a "Financial Participant"). Capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given such terms in the
Agreement, to which this Financial Addendum is attached.
RECITALS
This Financial Addendum is made with reference to the following facts:
A. As signatories to the Agreement, the Financial Participants seek to
avail themselves of the opportunity to stabilize part or all of their long-term
Natural Gas fuel costs with forward transactions in the physical gas market.
B. The Financial Participants also have the opportunity to stabilize
their long-term Natural Gas fuel costs and budgets through financial market
transactions.
56
NATURAL GAS PROGRAM AGREEMENT - FINANCIAL ADDENDUM
Exhibit C
C. The Financial Participants recognize that several factors, including
but not limited to the evaluation of counterparty risk, operational risk, and
liquidity requirements, may be relevant to the decision of whether to use
physical or financial transactions to stabilize fuel costs.
D. By executing this Financial Addendum to the Agreement, each
signatory seeks the flexibility to stabilize its Natural Gas fuel costs with financial
transactions in those cases where the Financial Participant believes the use of
such transactions are appropriate and preferable to physical transactions.
E. Each subscribing Financial Participant will have a participation
interest in a corresponding financial transaction entered into by NCPA in
accordance with the terms hereof.
F. In consideration for the increased flexibility afforded to Financial
Participants by this Financial Addendum, each Financial Participant

City of Ukiah Proposal to Purchase Public Utility Easement
Background
In July of 2009, Al Smatsky, on behalf of the City of Ukiah Electric Utility Department (UEUD), approached the
North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA) with a request that an easement along the property owned by NCRA be
granted to provide for an overhead (OH) medium voltage electric circuit(s) between Perkins Street and Hastings
Street in the City of Ukiah, California. At that time, a proposed easement location drawing, a typical OH easement
description drawing and a typical OH construction detail drawing were forward to NCRA and Dave Anderson, NCRA
Project Manager, for review and comment.
Since that time, the length of the requested easement has been shortened and the project drawing was changed
to its present design; East Clay Street to Hastings Street. (The agreed upon project drawing is attached hereto as
Attachment 1.) The requested easement totals 5,688 feet in length. During the fall of 2010, notice was sent to
NCRA regarding this change. The proposed overhead medium voltage electric drawings were subsequently sent to
NCRA and AndersonPenna for review. On April 6, 2011, the UEUD did review the draft Encroachment Permit
Application prepared by Dave Anderson, NCRA Project Manager, and found that the UEUD could comply with all
conditions detailed in this document.
The City of Ukiah EUD will use materials, construction methods and standards that will meet or exceed GO 95 and
GO 128 requirements for construction of overhead and underground electric circuits along or over railroad lines.
Lease/Purchase Meeting
On April 26, 2011, Mitch Stogner, NCRA Executive Director, Dave Anderson, Project Manager, Mel Grandi, City of
Ukiah Electric Utility Director and Al Smatsky, UEUD Project Designer, met to discuss easement cost. After
considerable discussion, both sides agreed to a one-time purchase price of $55,000 for a Utility Easement per
detailed drawings. This offer is made in good faith and subject to City of Ukiah City Council approval. This matter
will be presented to the City Council on May 4, 2011 for approval.
Agreement:
• Purchase Public Utility Easement for Overhead and Underground Electric Facilities as per detail drawing
(Attachment 1). Approximately 28,440 ftz
• Cost: $55,000
• Electric Utility will only be required to relocate facilities at its cost, if both of the following conditions are
met:
1. When Electric Facilities are in conflict with future rail expansion; and
2. NCRA provides a mutually agreeable alternative location for Electric Facilities that NCRA wants
the City of Ukiah to relocate.
The City of Ukiah r ectively requests that NCRA considers this easement application.
