ITEM NO. 7a
DATE: September 7, 2011
cYLy caf4.iriafi AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION SETTING THE LIMITATION ON CITY
EXPENDITURES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011-2012
The passage of Proposition 4 in 1979 (Article XIIIB of the California Constitution), requires local
governments to prepare a statement of appropriations limitation. Also, each of the governing
bodies must pass a resolution setting the appropriations limit for each budget year.
The City's appropriation growth rate is limited to the change in the greater of the City of Ukiah's or
Mendocino County's population growth rate and the change in California's per capita personal
income. Exhibit A, attached to the Fiscal Year 2011-12 Proposed Resolution (Attachment 1),
sets forth the calculations necessary to establish the appropriations limit for the City of Ukiah's
2011-2012 fiscal year. For these calculations, each revenue source and General Fund transfer,
listed in the adopted budgets, must be allocated as "proceeds from taxes" or "non-proceeds from
taxes."
Adoption of the Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Resolution (Attachment 1) assures the community and the
State of California that the appropriations approved did not exceed the City's annual
appropriations limit. For fiscal year 2011-2012 the calculations showed a limit of $31,998,546
and appropriations subject to the limit of $10,558,040. This provided a large margin of safety
($21,439,505) before compliance with this law would become a concern. The available funds
subject to the limit is less than thirty-five percent of the limit.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution fixing limitation on City
expenditures for Fiscal Years 2011-2012.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolutions fixing limitation on City expenditures for
Fiscal Years 2011-2012.
ALTERNATE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS: Adopt resolution with modifications.

Coordinated with: Jane Chambers, City Manager

Subject: Price and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
The California Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 2227, mandates the Department of Finance
(Finance) to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.
Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2011,
in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations
limit for fiscal year 2011-2012. Enclosure I provides the change in California's per capita
personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change
factor to calculate the 2011-2012 appropriations limit. Enclosure II provides city and
unincorporated county population percentage changes, and Enclosure IIA provides county's and
incorporated area's summed population percentage changes. The population percentage change
data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. Consult the Revenue and
Taxation Code, Section 2228 for further information regarding the appropriation limit. You can
access the Code from the following website: "http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.htmI" check box:
"Revenue and Taxation Code" and enter 2228 for the search term to learn more about the various
population change factors available to special districts to calculate their appropriations limit.
Article XIII B, Section 9(C), of the State Constitution exempts certain special districts from the
appropriations limit calculation mandate. Consult the following website:
"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/.const/.article 136" for additional information. Special districts
required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their
annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this issue should be referred to their
respective county for clarification, or to their legal representation, or to the law itself. No State
agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. The Federal 2010
Census population counts for cities and counties have been certified to the State Controller's
Office. Revenue and Taxation Code Section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify
any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller's
Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2011.
Please Note: The population estimates provided in this report incorporate 2010 Census numbers
as benchmarks. Therefore, the population estimates for 2010 and 2011 published in this report
for your jurisdiction may be noticeably different from the previous year estimates.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at
(916) 323-4086.
Fiscal Year 2011-2012
May 2011
Enclosure I
A. Price Factor: Article XI II B specifies that local jurisdictions select their
cost-of-living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their
governing body. The cost-of-living factor provided here is per capita
personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is
selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the 2011-2012
appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2011-2012 2.51
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change
in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a
2011-2012 appropriation limit.
2011-2012:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 2.51 percent
Population Change = 0.77 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio:
Population converted to a ratio:
Calculation of factor for FY 2011-2012:
2.51 + 100 = 1.0251
100
0.77 + 100 = 1.0077

SUBJECT: AWARD OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO D. B. GAYA CONSULTING
LLC IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $23,805 FOR PAINTING & COATING
INSPECTION SERVICES FOR REHABILITATION OF TERTIARY TREATMENT UNITS
AT THE UKIAH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT SPECIFICATION NO. 10-18 AND
APPROVE BUDGET AMENDMENT
Background & Discussion: The project at the Ukiah Wastewater Treatment Plant will rehabilitate the four
tertiary treatment units by removing all of the filter media, making any necessary repairs to the tank interiors,
sandblasting and recoating the tank interiors, and installing new filter media. This is in keeping with the
manufacturer's recommended maintenance, to recoat when the tanks have been in service for 15 years.
This will protect the City's investment by preventing deterioration of the steel tanks in a corrosive
wastewater environment. In addition, it is very important that the correct coating materials are properly
applied so that there is no contamination of effluent.
Staff issued a request for proposals for coating and painting inspection services for the critical sandblasting
and recoating portion of the project. This service will provide inspection of all aspects of the sandblasting
and recoating process by NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) certified inspectors. Three
proposals were received and reviewed by staff, and the best qualified consulting firm was deemed to be
D. B. Gaya Consulting LLC of Sebastopol, CA.
This painting & coating inspection award follows the City Council's award of a construction contract to ERS
Industrial Services, Inc. of Fremont, CA.

Background: Pursuant to the requirements of Section 1522 of the Municipal Code, staff is reporting to City
Council the emergency replacement of the lift motor control station for the sanitary sewer system lift station
near Eldorado Road on Redemeyer Road.
Discussion: Over the past several months, the lift station motor control panel had been failing intermittently
but would restart itself. The Water/Sewer Maintenance Crew had been checking it regularly. On the
weekend of July 4th it quit for a long period of time. As this location is near the Russian River, staff
immediately contacted Intercounty Mechanical and Electrical to have them replace it as soon as possible to
avoid Sanitary Sewer Overflows into the River. The motor control panel was order and installed. Staff has
anticipated this panel would need to be replaced in this current fiscal year. Funds were budgeted to the

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF CONTRACT WITH WINZLER & KELLY FOR ENGINEERING
SERVICES RELATED TO THE WATER & WASTE WATER ENTERPRISE IN THE
AMOUNT OF $65,000 FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE RELATED TO THE CITY'S
NPDES PERMIT AND WATER PROJECTS.
Background: In June 2011 the Deputy Director of Public Works - Water and Sewer Division was vacated.
Staff does not plan to fill this position at this time. However, there are currently some key tasks that the
department is doing. The City has filed an application for renewal of its National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System Permit (NPDES) for the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Since the original application
was submitted, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (NCRWQCB) has requested
additional technical information to support the application. One of the major requests in the permit is to
allow the City to increase it's discharge rate to the Russian River. In order for the NCRWQCB to accept this
increase, specific technical information and studies are required.
Discussion: In order to fill this void, staff called Mary Grace Pawson with Winzler & Kelly's (W&K). Ms.
Pawson has assisted the City in the past with tasks related to the water and sewer enterprises. Because of
the expertise of staff, particularly Ms. Pawson, City staff is requesting the approval of a contract in an
amount not to exceed $65,000 for additional technical assistance. W&K has proven in other communities
that they have the resources and knowledge of the NCRWQCB and its permitting process. They have been
successful in increasing discharge rates at other Treatment Facilities and are well versed on issues relating
to Copper, Nitrates, Percolation Ponds and many issues related to the Waste Water Treatment process.
The most important issue that needs attention for the current NPDES permit process is to conduct a water
balance study to support the request for an increased discharge rate. Mary Grace Pawson will be the
Senior Project Manager and will perform the scope of work, attached, at the Direction of the Director of
Public Works.
In addition, Ms. Pawson will provide representation at meetings with the NCRWQCB, Ukiah City Council
and Ukiah Valley Sanitation District meetings on an as-needed basis. Funds for this contract will be
expended from the City/District Sewer Administration Fund 612.3505.250.000 and the City Water Fund

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
September 7, 2011
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING THE ONGOING
ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRANSIENT OCCUPANCE TAX PROGRAM
Background: In March, the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce noticed the City that they were shifting
focus to member business services and were no longer interested in administering the Measure X Transient
Occupancy Tax Tourism and Promotion Program. Upon receipt of notification, the City Council directed
staff to address the immediate needs of the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) Program and to investigate the
possibility of partnerships for the administration of the program.
In order to address the promotional/administrative needs of the Program over the last five months, Assistant
City Manager Sage Sangiacomo, Conference Center Manager Kerry Randall, and Project and Program
Analyst Shannon Riley have:
■ Re-engaged the advisory committee and refocused the program by updating the mission statement:
The mission of Ukiah's Transient Occupancy Tax Program is to responsibly administer a
continuously-improving promotional program for the Greater Ukiah Area utilizing Measure X funds.
The Program will leverage partnerships with key groups and organizations, foster community pride,
and increase tourism.
■ Continued placement of strategic advertisements in various print media, including Sunset Magazine,
VIA Magazine, 101 Things To Do in Mendocino County, hotel directories, and more. The response
to the ads has been very positive; over 800 requests for more information about Ukiah have been
received from Sunset and VIA readers since September 1St. Packets of information including a
personalized cover letter with itineraries and information about upcoming events are prepared and
mailed out for each request.
■ Re-branded "Uniquely Ukiah" to "Visit Ukiah", which is consistent with the broad-based tourism
industry, including Visit Mendocino, Visit California, etc. (included securing the com, org, and net
domains). The new name/logo is easy to understand, articulate and spell. Also, the Program is
implementing recommendations from the 2008 Randall Study, including the marketing of Ukiah as
"the heart of Mendocino County".
■ Participated in co-op ads with Visit Mendocino County and partnered with the Ukiah Main Street
Program to update Ukiah Directional maps for the hospitality industry.

Recommended Action(s): Approve the ongoing administration of the Transient Occupancy Tax
Program by City of Ukiah.
Alternative Council Option(s): Provide other direction to staff.

Created the TOT Task Force of seven key representatives, as specified by the original formation

o Lodging: Anil Buhla, owner of Fairfield Inn and Sunrise Inn
o Wine: Tom Liden, Mendocino Winegrape and Wine Commissioner
o Art: TBA
o Marketing: Spencer Brewer, Musician, Producer and "Ringmaster" for Parducci Wine Cellars
o Visit Mendocino County: Betsy Wildberger, Director of Marketing
o Chamber of Commerce: Amanda Hair, Executive Director
o Ukiah Main Street Program: Rick Hansen, Executive Director
Evaluated the programs and projects sponsored by the TOT Program that had been under
administration through contract with the Chamber of Commerce to determine effectiveness. The
review revealed shortfalls in the TOT performance that led to loss of the "Uniquely Ukiah" domain
name, which also meant the loss of the platform to show promotional videos. All parties working in
the review agreed that a renewed focus on TOT efforts was necessary to create a more robust
program for effective use of TOT funds.
Assumed responsibility for visitor services at the Conference Center subsequent to the Chamber's
departure. Staff obtained and updated promotional materials and has kept the Visitor Center open
largely with the assistance of community volunteers.
Organized/re-created Program files and documents.
Discussion: In addition to performing the aforementioned work for the Program, Staff has met with Visit
Mendocino County (VMC) on multiple occasions to discuss a potential partnership for administration and/or
services. A proposal was submitted by VMC and examined at length.
Through the course of discussions, VMC has expressed concern that extensive and detailed reporting for
the Program may consume a disproportionately large portion of the administration funds. After considering
that assertion and analyzing the proposal, it is Staff's opinion that much of the work proposed by VMC
would either be duplicating work already performed by City staff or is already part of VMC's scope of work
for the County (including Ukiah).
The outcome from those meetings with VMC is a desire to engage with VMC in a fee-for-service
arrangement for specific tasks related to marketing. VMC has tremendous resources and experience in this
area and, by paying for specific services to maximize Ukiah's exposure in the most efficient way, this
partnership would be beneficial to both entities. VMC staff also believes that this is the most effective
relationship and has agreed to serve on the Ukiah TOT Task Force that meets monthly, ensuring ongoing
collaboration.
Along with the ongoing discussions with VMC, Staff has considered ways to partner with the following
organizations:
• The Ukiah Main Street Program: The Ukiah Main Street Program is a tightly focused organization
with a very small sphere of influence-the downtown. The Historic Downtown is a valuable asset for
the community, and the Main Street Program's events and resources will be important for the TOT
Program to partner with. Currently, the TOT Program and the Ukiah Main Street Program are
working together to update Ukiah maps.
• Mendocino Winegrape and Wine Commission (MWWC) : MWWC has created outstanding
promotional materials and hosted numerous successful events. They represent Mendocino
County's wineries, many of which are within 45 minutes of Ukiah. Ukiah is a logical destination for
lodging when visiting these wineries, and a stronger partnership with MWWC could significantly
increase the number of hotel stays in Ukiah, thereby increasing the transient occupancy tax rate.
■ Destination Hopland: Destination Hopland coordinates one of the County's most successful
events twice each year-the Hopland Passport. This group is also working toward the
establishment of an official Business Improvement District and even more promotion for Hopland.
However, Hopland has only two lodging establishments (approximately 20 rooms)-not nearly
enough to satisfy their visitor's needs. Therefore, a strong partnership with Destination Hopland
could also result in increased hotel stays in Ukiah. Staff is currently exploring a possible partnership
for weekend hotel shuttles between Ukiah hotels and Hopland/Ukiah area wineries. Also,
information about the Fall 2011 Hopland Passport is being included in the informational packets, as
many of the out-of-town visitors for this event take advantage of the hotel/event/shuttle packages.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that, at this time, the Ukiah TOT Program be maintained as a separate entity under the
direction of the Ukiah City Council with the advisory functions of the TOT Task Force. Collaboration with the
aforementioned organizations will be critical to the Program's success and will help to stretch the financial
resources for all parties. That being said, the TOT committee, lodging representatives, and staff firmly
believe that Ukiah lodging and business owners need their own voice, much like the Chambers and Tourism
Bureaus do for the other regions in Mendocino County (Fort Bragg, Mendocino Coast, Destination Hopland,
Anderson Valley, Willits, etc.).
Many other counties/regions have carefully considered the relationship between their various tourism-
related organizations and in most cases, have determined that it is important that each entity maintain its
own identity. The most successful programs are those that strategically partner with their neighbors, as
recommended.
Ukiah's limited budget is also a factor for consideration. Any multi-faceted program requires diligent
administration, and it is easy to see how an operating budget of only about $70,000 could be spent largely
on that administration. By utilizing existing staff efficiencies and personnel who are already performing
related work, those costs (and the duplication of services) can be kept to a minimum by the City of Ukiah.
No staffing infrastructure needs to be created, no training is required, and there is assurance that the goals
and operations of the Program will be held by representatives who are focused on Ukiah and its diverse
attributes. Furthermore, the Ukiah City Council will provide the direct oversight for the development and
implementation of the ongoing work plan, thus ensuring proper administration and utilization of resources.
Staff is requesting the authorization to proceed with the promotion of Ukiah under the advisory direction of
the TOT Task Force, to include the following work:
■ Optimize Internet presence by creating a comprehensive visitor-focused website and a Visit Ukiah
"app" for mobile phones. Staff proposes leveraging the City of Ukiah, which is also in the process of
modifying their website. By working together, both entities may receive a discounted rate from the
web designers.
■ Create promotional materials for the Greater Ukiah Area including brochures, flyers and maps
• Continue to place strategic ads in various print media and respond accordingly to requests for
information
■ Coordinate representation at trade shows to promote Ukiah, specifically in the areas of small group
and business meetings, outdoor recreation, wine-related travel and cultural tourism.
■ Maximize collaboration between Visit Mendocino County, the Ukiah Main Street Program, the Ukiah
Chamber of Commerce, Mendocino Winegrape and Wine Commission and Destination Hopland.
■ Development of a work plan, performance indicators, and itemized budget for Council's
consideration.
In summary, City Staff has rehabilitated a stalled program through the careful analysis of its components
and carried out marketing work that provided immediate results. Effective partnerships are being fostered
with neighboring organizations, laying the groundwork for a dynamic network of tourism-based promotions.
Because Mr. Randall and Ms. Riley currently perform work related to the promotion of Ukiah, the transition
has been relatively seamless and has been met with appreciation from stakeholders and partners. Ukiah
will benefit tremendously from increased tourism and the limited resources available to implement a TOT
program can be made to provide a powerful voice for the Ukiah Community with the proper administration
and partnerships.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
13a
September 7, 2011
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING THE PROCESS OF COMPLIANCE OF
THE SEWER LATERAL ORDINANCE TESTING AND INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
BASED ON THE RELINING OF THE SEWER MAIN
BACKGROUND: Submitted for the City Council's discussion and direction is staff's recommendation on the
proposed process to be followed for adhering to the Sewer Lateral Inspection, Testing, and Repair Program
(Program) as a result of the sewer relining projects.
The Program was adopted by ordinance in February 2008 as an alternative to the previously adopted "point
of sale program". The Program was put in place to address the issue of groundwater entering the City's
Sanitary Sewer System (System). Groundwater infiltration is an issue because it increases the volume of
influent treated at the City's waste water treatment plant. The more influent that is treated the greater the
treatment expense. The Program was adopted by ordinance and was also approved by Northern California
River Watch as is required in the Consent Decree and Order. Any changes to the ordinance by the City
must be consistent with the Consent Decree.
DISCUSSION: The Program has various triggers which require a homeowner's obligation to test, and
possibly repair, the sewer lateral serving the property. Most of the triggers for the program are as a result of
the property owner's initiative. Home remodels and Use permit changes are some of the more common
Fiscal Impact:

triggers. These kinds of items can be budgeted for by the property owner and they can include the costs in
their proposed project.
However, a trigger also occurs when the City or the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District performs a major sewer
main relining project. The City and the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District (UVSD) have each had relining work
performed on portions of their respective systems in the last three years. These projects have been
completed as part of the effort to reduce ground water infiltration with the ultimate goal to save the rate
payers money as a result of less treatment.
When the Program is triggered, the property owner who owns the lateral is required to have the lateral
tested within a year of the triggering event. If the lateral inspection proves that the lateral is sound, the
property owner is issued a certificate that is recorded with the Mendocino County Recorders Office. If the
inspection indicates that the lateral is not sound, then the property owner has two years to replace the
lateral and have it re-inspected.
The replacement of a lateral can be a costly project for the properly owner. It is not uncommon for these
costs to be between $5,000 and $10,000. The property owner's lateral extends from the house or structure,
to a place in the street where the sewer main is located. The majority of the expense typically comes from
the excavation in the right of way on the hardscape, the street and sidewalk. The replacement of the lateral
on the private property is typically much less expensive. This is because of the relative ease of excavation
in a front yard area and the minimal cost to replace the landscaping etc.
City staff is proposing a means by which the Program trigger related to City and UVSD relining activity may
be managed to reduce costs to property owners in neighborhoods where relining takes place.
The City may propose a change to the current Program, subject to the review and consent of River Watch,
which would be to show that within the first seven years of the proposed program, inspection of 20% of the
sewer system would take place.
Inspections are relatively inexpensive, approximately $300 to $500. However, a failed inspection leads to a
required replacement of the lateral within two years of the inspection. In order to achieve the goal of having
20% of the laterals inspected in seven years, property owners need to be incentivized to inspect their
laterals. The City does have a grant program that is supposed to incentivize lateral inspection. The grant
program assists up to $2,000 for replacement work. However, if a property owner is facing an expense of
$10,000, the $2,000 grant may not be enough motivation.
The City could reduce the cost factor to property owners if city forces were used to replace the portion of the
lateral in the public right of way. This would limit the owner's cost to the cost of repairs on private property,
where access and costs are cheaper than dealing with sidewalk and roadways. By reducing the potential
costs, the owner may be motivated to have the lateral tested.
Staff has discussed this proposal with the Mr. Kennedy, District Manager at the Ukiah Valley Sanitation
District. He is cautiously supportive of this proposal and is willing to further explore the merits and issues.
Staff has also discussed this proposal with some local plumbers. Although they could potentially lose the
sewer lateral work in the public right of way, they could gain from the increased work of lateral replacement
on private property, if more owners were willing and able to undertake the replacement costs.
If the City Council is interested in this option, staff can be directed to undertake exploration of key issues.
These include: the magnitude of the new expense to the 612 system, the legal exposure of sanitary sewer
overflows in the laterals, the coordination effort with the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District, the reaction and
impacts to the contractor community, as well as the possible support from River Watch.
