SUMMARY REPORT
SUB3ECT,' INTRODUCTION OF INTERIM FIRE CHIEF RON COHN
The City has recently retained the services of Ron Cohn, retired Fire Chief, as Interim Fire
Chief for the City of Ukiah for up to six months. Ron was an employee of the California
Department of Forestry for 40 years in various capacities including Division Chief, Deputy
Chief, and finally Chief of the Madera-Mariposa-Merced Unit. He also served as Fire Chief
of El Dorado County Fire Protection District between 1999 and 2002. During his
employment with the CDF, he was responsible for 11 rural fire stations, a 100-person
conservation camp, and 28 urban stations, all staffed with full time firefighters and over
700 volunteers. Since his official retirement in 1995, he has served in several other
capacities with fire districts and conservation camp programs, and has now agreed to
serve with the City of Ukiah Fire Department for an interim six-month basis.
Ron lives with his wife, Carolyn, in Shingle Springs, California, and has been a resident of
El Dorado County for 28 years. We welcome Ron Cohn to our staff. He has already
revealed an optimistic, professional style and we are very pleased to have him as part of
our management team.

REPORT
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION RESTORING 62 FEET OF ON-STREET
PARKING ALONG NORTH OAK STREET
SUMMARY: At the November 6, 1996 meeting, City Council adopted Resolution No. 97-35
Abolishing On-Street Parking and Establishing Loading Zones on North Oak Street. Please
refer to Attachment 2 for the location of the loading zones. The First Baptist Church now
owns the property at 302 Henry Street and the adjacent property to the north at 460 North
Oak Street. Pastor Garry Zeek of the First Baptist Church requested the removal of the
yellow loading zone and white loading zone on the North Oak Street frontages of Church
property. The net result of the proposed action will be to restore two parking spaces along the
North Oak Street frontage of the First Baptist Church property.
The Traffic Engineering Committee (TEC) considered the request to restore on-street parking
at its meeting on May 21,2002. Since there is no need for the loading zones to support the
current use of the First Baptist Church property, the TEC agreed to request the City Council to
restore 62 feet of on-street parking at the location of the previously approved loading zones.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution restoring 62 feet of on-street parking along
North Oak Street.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS: Do not adopt resolution and provide direction
to staff.

AWARD TIME AND EXPENSE CONSULTANT SERVICE AGREEMENT TO WlNZLER
& KELLY FOR DESIGN SERVICES RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF
ORCHARD AVE. BRIDGE AT ORR CREEK AND ASSOCIATED STREET
IMPROVEMENTS, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $100,054, AND AUTHORIZE
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT
SUMMARY: Submitted for the City Council's consideration and action is staff's recommendation that a
Consultant Service Agreement for engineering design services and the preparation of contract
documents for the construction of the Orchard Ave. Bridge at Orr Creek and its related street
improvements be awarded to Winzler & Kelly. It is proposed that compensation for services rendered
under the agreement be made on a time and expense basis not to exceed the maximum compensation
of $100,054.00.
BACKGROUND: In response to the City's Request for Proposals (RFP), four proposals were received
prior to the deadline. The RFP requested cost proposals from selected design consultants for the design
and preparation of contract documents and plans for the construction of the bridge at the crossing of
Orchard Ave at Orr Creek, the extension of Orchard Ave to Brush Street and the interim and ultimate
improvements of Brush Street from the extension of Orchard Ave to the railroad tracks. All elements of
the design would be incorporated into construction documents excluding the ultimate improvement of
Brush Street. The ultimate improvement features for Brush Street would be incorporated into a reference
document for the benefit of providing direction to future developers within the Brush Street Triangle.
As indicated in the April 30, 2002 memorandum to the Director of Public Works (Attachment #3), it was
recommended that two of the four Consultants submitting cost proposals be considered for further
consideration and that City staff meet with County staff to clarify agency design responsibilities or desires
concerning the project prior to conducting the final consultant interviews. On May 8, the City's Public
Works Director and project staff met with the Director and Assistant Director of the County's
Transportation Department to discuss agency responsibilities and desires concerning the design of the
interim and ultimate improvements for Brush Street. As a result of the meeting and subsequent
discussions between the respective staff, the County will be responsible for the design and construction
of the interim and ultimate improvements of Brush Street. The City will be responsible for the design and
construction of the bridge and the extension of Orchard Ave to Brush Street. Since interim
improvements must be made to Brush Street at the time Orchard Ave is connected to it, City staff offered
(Continued on page 2)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Award Consultant Service Agreement for Orchard Avenue Bridge
Design Services to Winzler & Kelly and authorize compensation to be on a time and expense basis not to
exceed a maximum compensation of $100,045.00. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the
Consultant Service Agreement on behalf of the City.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTION: Abandon the Orchard Ave Bridge Project and its related
street improvements and not award the Consultant Service Agreement for Design Services.

Award Consultant Service Agreement to Winzler & Kelly for the Performance of Design Services Related to the
Construction of Orchard Ave. Bridge at Orr Creek and Related Street Improvements. Compensation To Be on a
Time and Material Basis Not to Exceed $100,054. Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Agreement
to County staff to have the City's selected design consultant design the interim improvements at the
County's expense and to the County's road standards. The County staff continues to consider the offer.
During the week of May 12, the Consultant Selection Committee met with the project team leaders from
Winzler & Kelly and Creegan & D'Angelo to discuss their cost proposals in more detail and to explore
cost cutting measures that could facilitate a lower design fee. The consultants were notified that the
design of the ultimate improvements for Brush Street would no longer be included in the consultant
service agreement and that the interim design for Brush Street was pending. Both consultants were
asked if they had adequate resources to complete the design and preparation of contract documents
prior to August 13,2002. Both consultants committed to completing 100% of the design effort prior to that
date, if the City could expedite its review and if preliminary engineering work could be authorized prior to
an anticipated agreement award of June 5, 2002. Revised cost proposals were requested from the two
finalists in consideration of the reduced scope of work, the accelerated completion date for the 100%
design effort, and other task modifications discussed in the interviews. Since the requested completion
date for the design work is prior to the anticipated completion date for the revised environmental Impact
Report (EIR) and subsequent public hearings and prior to receiving permits from State and Federal
agencies, any design changes needed as a result of the recommendations contained the revised Final
EIR and permit conditions will be made via a change order to the consultant service agreement.
Since both consultant finalists are equal as to professional experience and both consultants possess the
resources needed to perform the work of the proposed consultant agreement, cost becomes a major
criterion in the selection of the consultant. Winzler & Kelly and Creegan & D'Angelo submitted revised
cost proposals in the amounts of $100,054 and $113,789, respectively. Upon review of the revised
proposals, it was discovered that the Creegan & D'^ngelo's proposal contained an error in the amount of
$11,160 making the actual total compensation $124,949. Given that all selection criteria are equal
excluding the cost criterion, it is recommended that Winzler & Kelley be awarded the Consultant Service
Agreement.
Should the County elect not to have the City's consultant design the needed interim improvements for
Brush Street, a change order will be issued reducing the maximum compensation appropriately. The
cost reduction should be in the range of $10,000 to $15,000.
Funds within the Orchard Ave Bridge Account, 290-9645-xxx.xxx, will be utilized to pay the consultant for
their services.

ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR ORCHARD AVENUE BRIDGE & STREET IMPROVEMENTS
MAY 15, 2002
Project Description
The Project is located both within the corporate limits of the City of Ukiah and the
unincorporated areas of Mendocino County known as the Brush Street Triangle. As
recommended in the "City Wide Traffic Circulation Study" prepared in 1979 and as a result of
retail development in the area west of Highway 101, east of Hospital Drive, north of Perkins
Ave., and south of Clara Street, the City desires to extend Orchard Ave. northerly from its
current terminus at Orr Creek to Brush Street and to improve portions if Brush Street from the
extension of Orchard Avenue to the Northern Pacific Railroad right of way. The extension of
Orchard Ave to the north will necessitate the construction of a bridge at Orr Creek and the
dedication of rights of way.
Orchard Avenue is a north-south major collector located on the west side of and paralleling
Highway 101. It is a fully developed city street within a 60-foot right of way between Perkins
Street to the south and Ford Street to the north. Between Ford Street and the south back of
Orr Creek, Orchard Avenue is improved on its west half. The design of the east half and the
design of the reconstruction of a portion of the west half will be a component of the Project.
Brush Street is a minimally improved east-west local road within a 30-foot right of way and it is
included in the County of Mendocino's Maintained Road System. Portions of Brush Street
between the railroad tracks and the proposed intersection with Orchard Ave. are of
substandard pavement width for two-way traffic. The project will include minimal widening and
surface improvement of Brush Street from its proposed intersection with Orchard Ave. to the
railroad tracks all meeting the approval of the Mendocino County Department of
Transportation. See attached Exhibit"6" Section E-E
Orr Creek is a west to east tributary to the Russian River and it serves as a major drainage
conveyance for the northern portion of the City. It is a spawning ground for salmonoid fish and
there has been and continues to be creek restoration efforts along its banks.
The Project will involve the design and construction of a one or two span concrete bridge
approximately 86 feet in length. The proposed bridge crossing will occur approximately 3,235
feet upstream of Orr Creek's confluence with the Russian River. The elevation of the creek
banks at the proposed crossing is 603 feet above mean sea level. As indicated in the "FEMA
Flood Insurance Study" applicable to the City of Ukiah, the 100-year flood level at the
proposed crossing is 604.1. At approximately 73 feet upstream of the crossing, the regulatory
floodway width is 76 feet with a surcharge of 0.7 feet. Utilizing the floodway data at the
upstream location for the proposed crossing, the regulatory floodway elevation would be
604.8. Setting the bottom of the bridge at one foot above the surcharge elevation will establish
the bottom of bridge elevation of 605.8. The bridge alignment will be skewed from the creek's
perpendicular section necessitating a bridge total span of 76 feet between the inside face of
the bridge abutments.
The bridge will be approximately 62 feet in width to accommodate a 48 foot wide traveled way
with five (5) foot wide sidewalks on both sides of the bridge and an allowance of two (2) feet
on each side to accommodate a concrete barrier with handrail.

Street Improvements
The Project will involve the design and construction of street improvements for the east half of
Orchard Avenue, the reconstruction of a portion of the existing improvements near the
proposed south bridge approaches on the west side of Orchard Avenue and a two lane
traveled way with base rock shoulders and drainage ditches for the extension of Orchard
Avenue between Orr Creek and Brush Street. Refer to Exhibits 3 and 4 for an overview of the
street system to be improves. Exhibits and diagrams for the project are attached. R-values of
the basement soils as reported by the Geotechnical Consultant and the established Traffic
Index of 9.0 will determine the design structural sections.
The Project will include the design and construction of limited widening and surface
improvements for Brush Street from the proposed intersection with Orchard Ave. to the
railroad tracks.
The structural sections shown for the new widening are approximate; the R-values of the
basement soils as reported by the Geotechnical Consultant and an assumed Traffic Index of
10.0 will determine the design structural sections.
Bridge Type Selection
The depth of the new bridge is constrained by the flood water plane clearance and the flat site
topography. It is desirable to limit raising the road profile over the bridge as it impacts the
approach grades, length of approach and impacts to adjacent private property. If a fiat slab
type bridge is used, maximum spans of 40 - 50 feet suggest that a two span bridge is needed
to limit depth. The type selection procedure will look at single span and two span options.
It is assumed that the bridge deck elevation will be approximately EL. 608 or five (5) feet
above the adjacent ground surface just beyond the creek banks necessitating retaining walls
for the support of the bridge approaches within the established 60-foot right of way of Orchard
Avenue. Both sides of the proposed north bridge approach are undeveloped as well as the
east side of the proposed south approach. Existing street improvements and multi-family
housing units are near the west side of the proposed south approach. For the purpose of
completing a the type selection alternative bridge study, we will assume that the bridge
approaches would be approximately 30 feet long at a gradient of 10% leaving a 2 foot height
differential at the lower end of the approaches. It is probable that this gradient must be
reduced to 8.33% to conform to ADA requirements. The deepened sidewalk edge or minor
retaining structure would be utilized beyond the bridge approaches. Subsequent to
development of the vacant land, fill will be places by the developers to bring the new structures
and improvements above the flood plain elevation of 604.1.
It is envisioned that the bridge abutments will be open-end seat type with perpendicular wing
walls or retaining walls to permit backfilling being the abutments for support of the bridge
approaches. One alternate that will be considered is a precast, prestressed concrete slab of
approximately 21 inches in depth and spanning approximately 43 feet. The bent will be a

solid wall founded on the spread footing or subsurface piles as recommended by the
Geotechnical Consultant. The bridge abutments and wing/retaining walls will be founded on
either spread footing or piles as recommended by the Geotechnical Consultant. A cast in
place concrete wearing surface and diaphragm course of four (4) to six (6) inches will be
placed over the bridge deck. We will design the bridge to allow for a future 2 - 3 inch asphalt
overlay for future street rehabilitation. The bridge and wing wall barrier will be a Caltrans type
26 concrete barrier with pedestrian railing. Exhibit 1 has particulars pertaining to the proposed
bridge. Exhibit 2 has topographic features at the proposed crossing over Orr Creek.

and other precast, prestressed or reinforced concrete members.
The Geotechnical Consultant is to provide a representative to record blow
counts and approve the pile foundation installation. If the Geotechnical
Consultant or Design Consultant specifies that a pile indicator program is
to be performed, the Geotechnical Engineer will provide a representative
to observe the driving of the indicator piles.
C+D will not have a representative during pile driving operations. We will
review pile inspection logs and make written report to the City regarding
the acceptance of the pile work and conformance to contract documents.
Perform general or summary monthly inspection (kick the tires) and inform
City construction management/inspection staff of any noted discrepancy.
The City will provide detailed and daily inspection.
Record As Built information provided by the City onto the plan originals and
provide one mylar set of As Built plans to the City

MEMORANDUM
Date: April 30, 2002
To;
Diana Steele, Public Works Director/City Engineer
From: Rick Kennedy, Project Manager
Subject: Recommendation Concerning Consultant Selection for Orchard Ave
Bridge Design Services
Summary
Based on the review of the information contained in the proposals submitted and
discussions with outside references, it is recommended that Creegan & D'Angelo
and Winzler & Kelly be invited to participate in a consultant selection interview for
further consideration. It is evident that these two consulting firms are highly
qualified to perform the design services that are required for the Orchard Ave
Bridge and Related Street Improvements and their proposed design fees are
comparable. It is also recommended that City staff meet with County staff to
clarify agency design responsibilities or desires concerning this project prior to
conducting the interviews. The objective of the consultant interview would be two
fold; final selection and dialog with the consultants on how we may reduce the
total cost for the design service.
Discussion
The four (4) proposals received were thoroughly reviewed and, based on the
information presented, comparisons of hourly rates, labor effort, and fee by work
tasks were made. Although Wildan submitted a very detailed proposal and are
highly qualified to design this project, they were not included in the comparisons
because their requested design fee greatly exceeded the City's resources and, in
my opinion, the project size. Wildan's proposed design fee is in a range of 30%
to 35% of the estimated project construction cost compared to a range of 15% to
20% as submitted by the other consultants. It was not possible to include Winzler
and Kelly (W & K) in the labor effort comparison by labor classification because
they did not include a detailed labor estimate by classification nor was it possible
to compare all of Creegan & D'Angelo (C & D) hourly rates with those of the
other consultants because they did not include a list of their hourly rates as
requested in the RFP. C & D's hourly rates included in the comparison were
taken from the detailed labor effort estimate.
Based on the information presented in the proposals which consisted of similar
projects completed and resumes of the proposed project team members, W & K,
C & D, and Wildan are highly qualified and possess the resources to perform the
bridge design services needed for the City's project. However, it does not
appear, based on the information presented in their proposal and my discussions
with two references, that Lars Andersen and Associates (LA & A) has adequate
experience or resources to perform bridge design services needed for this
project. LA & A reports completing a non-specified bridge design project for each
of cities of Hayward, Clovis, and Del Rey Oaks. I spoke with Robert Bauman with
the City of Hayward who is listed as a reference for LA & A and according to Mr.
Bauman the project he believes that Mr. Mommer is referring to in his proposal is
an arch culvert crossing within a waterway designed for Home Depot and
reviewed by the City. This is not similar to or as sophisticated as our project. Mr.
Bauman also stated that he was not aware that LA & A generally performed
Capital Improvement Project (ClP) design work. He was under the impression
that LA & A normally performed design work typical for land development
projects. In fact, the information presented in LA & A's proposal slants towards
land development work. Mr. Bauman added that the work performed by LA & A
was very acceptable. I traded phone messages with Mr. Alan Weaver with the
City of Clovis who is also listed as a reference for LA & A. Mr. Weaver could not
recollect a bridge project designed by LA & A for the City of Clovis but added that
they normally performed design work for land development projects for the
private sector and performed it well. He was not aware of their CIP design work
or history. References or client contacts for the City of Del Rey Oaks were not
provided.
As indicated in the attached Comparison of Fee By Work Task table, the
estimated fee as submitted by W & K and C & D are comparable in total as well
as by work task. The total estimated fee presented by LA & A is approximately
$53,000 less than the fees submitted by the other two consultants. As indicated
in the attached Comparison of Labor Effort By Labor Classification table,
approximately 53% of the total design effort for LA & A is contributable to a
computer/CDD engineer and technician as compared to 35% for C & D. The
labor effort contributed by the Bridge or Structural Engineer is approximately 9%
of the total effort by LA & A as compared to 25% for C & D. This difference in
effort by the structural engineer is significant and I believe we can consider the
9% effort level by a structural or bridge engineer to be inadequate for this project.
The design effort needed for this bridge project will not be a cookbook effort.
As requested in the RFP, the work tasks were to include the design and
preparation of contract plans and documents for the extension of Orchard Ave.
including ultimate features, the interim improvement of Brush Street, and the final
design for Brush Street. It was mentioned in the RFP that the immediate project
included only the backbone construction of Orchard north of the bridge and that
the ultimate features for both Orchard and Brush would be constructed as
development occurred along their frontage. I had envisioned that both the County
and City would desire an ultimate design for Brush to provide guidance to the
both agency staff as well as to the developer's engineers as to the overall design
desired as the project is completed in pieces. As what occurs in most instances
when development occurs piecemeal, attention to future needs as to gutter
drainage beyond the immediate project is ignored or not considered. The flatter
the lay of the land the more critical the need to design for the overall picture. We
should also consider at this time the ultimate storm drain system that will be
needed. As development occurs the system could be expanded via a capital
improvement fee program. It was also assumed that the construction of only the
bridge without the extension of Orchard was unacceptable. If Orchard is
extended under the project, interim work on Brush Street has to occur. Because
the contemplated interim improvements to Brush Street were temporary and not
per agency standards, it was requested that the ultimate design for Brush Street
be shown on separate plans so as confusion would not result. The project
construction documents for the immediate project would only include the plans
for the interim work. The Brush Street ultimate design drawings would be a
reference document for agency staff. Since the interim improvement for the
extension would be in accordance with ultimate structural section and per
standards, the ultimate improvements for Orchard could be superimposed on the
project drawings without causing confusion.
As the Agreement with the County evolves, it appears the County may accept the
responsibility for the construction of Orchard extension and the interim
improvement to Brush. If this is the case, does the County want the City to
proceed with the design work of the street improvements north of Orr Creek? If
the County prefers to design these improvements with their forces, we could
potentially reduce the design fees by at least $15,000. Further discussions with
County staff are needed. We will need street design work for that portion of
Orchard between Ford Street and the bridge.
C & D, W & K, and Wildan all recognized the need for pre-design effort. As noted
in C & D's proposal, they have included effort for a bridge selection process
which would consider single span and two span options. I believe this effort
would be worthwhile.

REPORT
SUBJECT:
AWARD OF CONTRACT TO LEE HOWARD CONSTRUCTION CO. FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF HALF STREET IMPROVEMENTS ALONG A PORTION OF
THE WEST SIDE OF WAUGH LANE, IN THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT NOT TO
EXCEED $23,000 AND APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT AUTHORIZING
THE EXPENDITURE
SUMMARY: The City has required the developers of two projects fronting Waugh Lane to provide
street improvements as part of their planning and building permits. The improvements consist of
sidewalk, curb and gutter. The improvements also require the property owners to base and pave
from the new gutter to the existing edge of pavement. These three adjacent properties front the
east side of Waugh Lane, specifically 905,907 and 909 Waugh Lane. Lee Howard Construction Co.
is under contract, with the property owners, to provide all the improvements for the three parcels.
City Staff has reviewed the condition of the west side of Waugh Lane in the same location as the
three subject parcels. The pavement and structural section are in complete disrepair in this location.
Furthermore, if the existing pavement area is not replaced, the crown of the roadway will be offset
from the center, creating an awkward and potentially unsafe condition. Staffs recommendation is to
remove and replace the existing asphalt on the west side of Waugh Lane. Staff has contacted Mr.
Howard to obtain a price for performing this work. Mr. Howard has provided the City with the price of
$3.50 per square foot. This price is a competitive industry price. There are approximately 5,600
square feet of proposed asphalt improvements. This job was not competitively bid because Mr.
Howard will be on site performing work, the coordination of two separate paving contractors on a job
this small would be prohibitive. Staff did not anticipate this project at the time the original budget
was adopted and thus an amendment is necessary to authorize the expenditure. Funds are
available Fund 345, Off System Roads.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Award contract to Lee Howard Construction Co. for the construction of
half street improvements along a portion of the west side of Waugh Lane, in the estimated amount
not to exceed $23,000, and approve amendment to the 2001/2002 budget authorizing expenditures
of $23,000 in account 345.9653.250.000.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS: Determine contract should not be awarded and
direct staff to leave the pavement on Waugh Lane in the current condition.

REPORT TO COUNCIL REGARDING CONTRACT WITH B.C. SCHMIDT
CONSTRUCTION INC. FOR INSTALLATION OF ACE AERIAL HANGAR DOOR IN THE
AMOUNT OF $6,500
Pursuant to Ukiah City Code Section 1522, this report is presented to the City Council regarding
the purchase of services between $5,000 and $10,000.
The City has purchased a bi-fold hangar door for the Ace Aerial facility at the airport and
installation is required. There are no qualified contractors in Lake and Mendocino Counties as
recommended by the manufacturer for this project and thus a search beyond our region was necessary.
Three bids were received in response to Staff's inquires:
Herbert B. Meeker $8,871
Visalia, CA
B.C. Schmidt Construction, Inc.
Williams, CA
$6,500
TESCO $5,400 Invalid bid
San Ramon, CA
TESCO was the lowest bidder by the bid deadline, however they have since asked to revised their bid to
include a crane rental that was left out of their initial bid. Since this was change occurred after the bid
deadline and TESCO cannot perform the work for its original bid, staff is entering into a contract with B.C.
Schmidt Construction, Inc. who is the next lowest bidder. Schmidt has vast experience with this type of
specialty work and was the only bidder to actually travel to Ukiah to take measurements and inspect the
project site. The attention to detail we believe denotes the type of expertise this contractor will bring to
the job.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive report regarding contract with B.C. Schmidt Construction, Inc.
to install a bi-fold hangar door at the Ace Aerial facility on the Ukiah
Regional Airport at a cost of $6,500.

RE: Install Schweiss Bi-Fold Door
Dear Mr. Fierro;
We are proposing to provide the installation of the Schweiss Bi-Fold door in your
hangar at the Ukiah Regional Airport. The work will be completed in a workmanlike manner
and in accordance with the standard installation requirements and pertinent codes.
We will install the necessary structural metal beams with columns and bracing for the
door track and mounting connections. We will provide the 3' wide metal panels for covering
the door and the necessary trim and flashings to complete the exterior of the door.
We will provide the electrical work to the electric panel in the same building for the
power to the motor on the door. We will install the door controls next to the door locations.
We will remove our debris upon completion and review the door operation with the
person in charge of the building.
The amount for the above materials, labor and travel expenses to complete the door
installation will be $8,871.00.
To start the work a deposit of $1,000.00 is required for the materials we are providing
and payment upon completion of the project.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide this for your review. We can provide you a
list of other customers we have provided Schweiss doors for.
Thank you,
Herb Meeker

SUMMARY REPORT
SUB3ECT: DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF MENDOCINO SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
AUTHORITY (MSWMA) ANNUAL BUDGET
The City Council annually reviews and approves the MSWMA annual budget before its final
adoption by the MSWMA Board. General Manager Mike Sweeney has provided the draft
annual budget and report, which describes the various programs under MSWMA's purview
as well as pertinent information for the Council's discussion. The proposed 2002/03
budget has approximately $10,000 more expense for salary increases than the 2001/02
approved budget. Staff recommends approval of the budget, as the programs under
MSWA's control are well run and assist the City of Ukiah in meeting its state reporting
requirements and recycling goals.

RE: MSWMA Annual Report/Budget Review
Enclosed please find copies of MSWMA's Annual Report/Budget Review for
consideration by your Council/Board.
Under the joint powers agreement, MSWMA refers the next fiscal year's budget to its
member jurisdictions for review and comment prior to MSWMA's final adoption. This
procedure was originally established in 1990 because MSWMA was funded by General
Fund allocations from the jurisdictions, a practice that stopped in 1992. Nevertheless,
MSWMA appreciates the opportunity to present its proposed budget and programs on an
annual basis and receive any comments or recommendations, and provide any additional
information that is requested.
Consideration of the report by your Council/Board prior to June 15, 2002 would be
appreciated. Please notify me of the date it will appear on your agenda so that I can be
present.
l}e3t regards,
Mike Sweeney

Annual Report/Budget Review
May, 2002
Commingled single-stream
recycling was first recommended by
the MSWMA Board of Directors in
1999, in recognition of its success
elsewhere in the U.S. It has now been
introduced in most of Mendocino
County, yielding big increases in
recycling volume. MSWMA
continues to help the public make full
use of the commingled programs as
they are introduced by the franchised
haulers. This photo of Willits
residents Jennifer and Thomas Bender
appears on the cover of MSWMA's
Recycling Guide.
HazMobile
MSWMA' s mobile household hazardous waste program was featured in the November, 2001
issue of California County magazine as a model of rural intergovernment cooperation to provide a
high level of service. Service is provided to Lake County and northern Sonoma County under
Memorandums of Understanding. HazMobile collections are provided at 18 different locations,
together with weekly service at the Ukiah base facility. Small business customers continue to
provide a growing portion of the HazMobile's business. Lake County participation is increasing
rapidly.
In September, 2001, the HazMobile received the Program Excellence Award from the North
American Hazardous Materials Management Association at its annual convention in Portland,
Oregon.

Illegal dump cleanup
MSWMA responds to all roadside dumping complaints
throughout Mendocino County. We also reimburse
dump fees for volunteer cleanup activities, post "No
Dumping" signs, and plan large-scale cleanup work
using state grant funding. Jail inmates are used regularly
to assist in dump cleanup. MSWMA helps the County
Abandoned Vehicle division in dismantling trailers left
on roadsides. MSWMA also coordinates the annual
California Coastal Cleanup Day in Mendocino County,
mobilizing hundreds of volunteers.

Sidewalk Recycling
MS WMA has used grant funds from the state
Department of Conservation to buy sidewalk
recycling units for Willits, Ukiah and
MacKerdcher State Park. The durable units
provide a convenient place to recycle beverage
containers next to the trash receptacle.
This grant program provides annual funding
for any eligible beverage container recycling
activities.

MSWMA signed a contract in November,
2001 with the Califomia Human
Development Corporation to provide
Spanish-speaking outreach worker Sam
Kircher to increase the level of
knowledge about solid waste, hazardous
waste and recycling among Spanish-
speaking residents. A vigorous campaign
is underway including radio appearances,
literature, visits to ranches, and special
events.
Excerpt from Spanish-language recycling guide.
Appliance hazardous waste service
To reduce costs to the public, MSWMA provides free removal of refrigerants and oil from
appliances at all disposal sites in Mendocino County. This has helped reduce illegal dumping of
refrigerators. The work is done by MSWMA's hazardous waste technicians, who have obtained
EPA certification to handle the ozone-depleting refrigerants that are present in refrigerators and
freezers.

Electronics
Recycling
ELECTRONICS 'i
RECYCLIN6
Televisions and computer monitors NOT RASH
were banned from landfill disposal
in March, 2001 due to their high ~
concentrations of lead and other [
heavy metals. MSWMA expanded
its electronics recycling program by
making arrangements for all county
disposal sites to set up electronics
recycling and collect the necessary
fees to cover the cost. MSWMA
consolidates the electronics into a semi-trailer for shipment to an electronics recycler in Utah.
All electronics are recycled in the United States and none are shipped overseas where there have
been environmental and safety problems. Currently, MSWMA is shipping about 15 tons per
month. Jail inmates are used to help with loading.
A fee increase was approved by the MSWMA Board in January, 2002 to help cover the direct
recycling costs charged to MSWMA by the recycling company. Handling is subsidized by
MSWMA and the disposal site operators.

Grants
MSWMA administers used oil block
grants, beverage container recycling
grants, and tire recycling grants which
are obtained from the state. MSWMA
provides an annual free tire recycling
event at three locations in the county
using state matching grant funds.
MSWMA has jointly applied with Lake
County for a household hazardous
waste grant which would be used to
fund electronics recycling costs so that
the fees of $10 to $40 per unit could be
waived
MSWMA annual report - Page 6
Staffing
MSWMA has four full-time employees: a General Manager and three Hazardous Waste
Technicians. There is no clerical or accounting staff. MSWMA funds are deposited with the
Treasurer of the County of Mendocino.
MSWMA also employs one part-time Hazardous Waste Technician, two part-time Recycling
Specialists, and obtains part-time services under contract for a Spanish-language outreach worker.
From February to June, 2002, MSWMA obtained an average of 32 hours per week of services
from California Conservation Corps members who had hazardous waste training. There was no
charge to MSWMA. The CCC staff assisted at HazMobile collections so that our technicians
were freed for other work.
Governance
MSWMA is a joint powers authority formed in 1990 by the County of Mendocino and the Cities
of Ukiah, Fort Bragg and Willits. MSWMA's Board of Directors are: Bruce Burton, City of
Willits (chair), Michele White, City of Fort Bragg (vice-chair), Eric Larson, City of Ukiah, Tom
Lucier, Board of Supervisors, and Patricia Campbell, Board of Supervisors.
Funds
As of May 2, 2002, MSWMA's fund balances were:
General Fund: $280,261.68. Working capital for MSWMA's operations plus reserves for
contingencies.
Depreciation Fund: $54,000.00. Reserve for replacement of vehicles and equipment.
Reserve Fund: $359,887.31. Set-aside for costs of relocation of HazMobile base facility. This
fund was established with the net proceeds of sale of the North State Street property in Ukiah.
Surcharge
The core funding for MSWMA is a surcharge on solid waste disposal. This was set at $6 per ton
in 1992, and has been reduced three times since then to its present level of $4.50 per ton. When
adjusted for inflation, the surcharge has declined even more to a current value of $3.73 in 1993
dollars.
The surcharge is supplemented by state grants and fees charged for hazardous waste service. No
funding comes from the General Funds of the member jurisdictions.

2002-03 Budget
The 2002-03 budget was given tentative approval by the MSWMA Board of Directors on
February 18, 2002, and referred to the member jurisdictions for comment. The budget is
generally the same as the previous year's. The largest change comes in electronics recycling costs
and income, which are both increased but offset each other.
The budget contains a 2% cost-of-living increase for MSWMA employees, except for the General
Manager, who receives no increase. Personnel costs are also increased due to the vesting of an
additional HazMobile Technician for MSWMA's SEP-IRA pension program.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT:
INTERPRETATION OF UKIAH MUNICIPAL CODE DEFINITION OF "SIGN"
AND DETERMINATION OF POSSIBLE SIGN ORDINANCE VIOLATION -
RAINBOW CONSTRUCTION / 294 WEST SMITH STREET, UKIAH
SUMMARY: The owner of the Rainbow Construction Company building located at 294 West Smith
Street recently placed six large signs/banners/flags on top of the roof. The signs/banners/flags are
made of a very light colorful material, contain the familiar rainbow logo of the company, and are
designed to move gently in the wind. When these devices were brought to the attention of the
Planning Staff, it was determined that they appeared to be consistent with the Ukiah Municipal
Code's (UMC) definition of a "sign", and therefore were illegal because the UMC specifically
prohibits signs to be placed on roof tops.
When this matter was brought to the attention of the property owner, he respectfully disagreed that
they were signs. He has concluded that they are "art" rather than signs, and therefore can be
legally placed on top of his building. After reviewing the Ukiah Municipal Code, the owner is of the
opinion that the devices could also be considered "corporate flags" and therefore be deemed legal
according to the UMC.
The purpose of this Agenda item is to ask the Council to review the definitions contained in the Sign
Ordinance, and determine if these devices are "signs", "banners", or "corporate flags." If they are
determined to be "signs", they are illegal. If the Council determines they are "banners", they can
only be placed on the building for short periods of time during special events. If they are determined
to be "corporate flags" they may not be in violation of the Ukiah Municipal Code.
(continued on page 2)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review the definitions of "Sign", "Banner Sign", and "Flag" and
determine what the devices on top of the Rainbow Construction building are.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTION: N/A
Citizen Advised: Peter Richardson, Rainbow Construction
Requested by: Planning and Community Development Department
Prepared by: Charley Stump, Director of Planning and Community Development
Coordinated with: Candace Horsley, City Manager, and David Rapport, City Attorney

1. Applicable Ukiah Municipal Code (Sign Ordinance) sections
Candace Horsley, City I~anager
DESCRIPTION OF RAINBOW CONSTUCTION "SIGNS": The Rainbow Construction "signs" are
approximately eight-feet tall, vertically narrow, and very colorful. They contain the Rainbow
construction "rainbow" logo, and are designed to move slightly in the wind.
DEFINITION OF SIGN: Section 3200.55 of the Ukiah Municipal Code defines "sign" as follows:
"Sign" shall mean a visual communications device used to convey a message to its viewers. A Sign
shall mean and include every advertising message, announcement, declaration, demonstration,
display, illustration, insignia, surface or space erected or maintained in view of the observer thereto
for identification, advertisement or promotion of the interests of any person, entity, product or
service."
The Ukiah Municipal Code defines "roof sign" as "any sign erected upon, against or directly above a
roof or top of or above the parapet of a building." Section 3226(L) PROHIBITED SIGNS lists "signs
which are located on or project over the roof of a building or structure."
Comment: If the Council determines that the devices are "signs" according to the above definition,
then they are illegally placed on top of the building.
DEFINITION OF BANNER: The Ukiah Municipal Code defines "banner sign" as a "temporary sign
composed of lightweight material either enclosed or not enclosed in a rigid frame, secured or
mounted so as to allow movement of the sign caused by movement of the atmosphere."
Section 3226(D) PROHIBITED SIGNS lists banners, pennants, searchlights, twirling signs, signs on
sidewalks, balloons or other gas-filled figures...signs described above may be permitted at the
opening of a new business or for special events with prior approval of the Director of Community
Development only for a total period not exceeding thirty (30) days.
Comment: If the Council determines that the devices are "banners", then they can only be
displayed during special events for a maximum of 30 days.
DEFINITION OF FLAGS: The Ukiah Municipal Code does not include a definition of "flag."
However, Webster's Dictionary defines a "flag" as "a piece of fabric of distinctive design that is used
as a symbol (as of a nation) or as a signaling device."
Section 3226(E) PROHIBITED SIGNS states that flags other than those of any nation or corporation
are prohibited.
Comment: If the Council determines that the devices are "corporate flags", then they may not be in
violation of the Sign Ordinance. However, while the Code does not specifically limit the number of
corporate flags, it seems logical that the intent is to allow a corporate flag to be displayed at
individual corporate offices. In this case, if the devices are determined to be corporate flags,
Rainbow Construction is displaying six of them.
CONCLUSION: The owners of Rainbow Construction recently placed six large colorful devices on
top of their building not knowing that they could be in violation of the City Sign Ordinance. The
devices display the company logo, and while they do not resemble a traditional rectangular "flag",
the owners believe they are artistic "corporate flags."
Undoubtedly, some people may have the opinion that the devices look nice. Others may have the
opposite opinion, concluding that the devices are too "loud", and conflict with the character of the
surrounding built environment. However, this is not purely a subjective issue, and not a debate as
to whether or not the devices look nice or not. The issue is defining what they are, and whether the
code allows them to be displayed "on top of the building ". If they are determined to be "signs", they
are in violation of the Code. If the Council determines they are "banners", they can only be placed
on the building for shod periods of time during special events. If they are determined to be
"corporate flags" they may not be in violation of the Ukiah Municipal Code. If the Council determines
they are "corporate flags", Staff urges the Council to determine if the spirit and intent of the Code is
to allow corporations to fly _aa corporate flag or as many as the corporation desires.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS/SOLUTIONS:
.
.
.
Find that the devices are "signs" and order their removal from the top of the building.
Find that the devices are banners and allow them for a 30-day period associated with
special events.
Find that the devices are corporate flags and decide if the spirit and intent of the Code is
to allow all six flags to be displayed.
Find that the devices are something other than signs, banners, or corporate flags, and
provide direction to staff.
SIGN VARIANCE: If the Council determines that the devices are in violation of the Ukiah Sign
Ordinance, Section 3235 of Article 9 provides a "Sign Variance" procedure that potentially could
provide relief to the property owner. However, the findings required to approve a Variance are often
difficult, and require that there are special circumstances applicable to the property that warrant the
granting of the Variance, that the granting of the Variance would not constitute a grant of special
privilege, and that the granting of the Variance would not be detrimental to surrounding property
owners.
RECOMMENDATION: Review the definitions of "Sign", "Banner Sign", and "Flag" and determine
what the devices on top of the Rainbow Construction building are, and provide direction to Staff.

REVIEW, DISCUSSION, AND FORMATION OF COMMENTS CONCERNING THE
MENDOCINO COUNTY DRAFT UKIAH VALLEY AREA PLAN
SUMMARY: Mendocino County has prepared an "Area" Plan for the unincorporated area in the
Ukiah Valley. It used the City of Ukiah General Plan as a foundation for the Area Plan because it
includes possible goals and policies for the unincorporated valley. It also includes possible land use
designations that were essentially prepared by County Planning staff and endorsed by the
City/County representation on the Ukiah General Plan Steering Committee.
The Mendocino County Planning Commission has completed its review of the Area Plan and has
formulated a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The County Planning and Building
Services Staff is seeking input from the City regarding the goals, policies, and land use designations
contained in the Plan.
The purpose of this Agenda item is to discuss the Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP) and formulate
comments for the County's consideration. Staff urges the Council to focus on the "big-picture"
issues as summarized in the May 30, 2002 correspondence received from the County Planning
Staff (attachment #2).
(continued on page 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Discuss the draft Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP) and formulate comments
for consideration by the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTION: Do not prepare comments on the UVAP and provide
direction to Staff

APPROVED:
UKIAH VALLEY AREA PLAN vs. UKIAH GENERAL PLAN: The Mendocino County Planning
Commission made changes to the text and map for the unincorporated area outside the City limits
from what was established during the Ukiah General Plan process. The primary changes include
establishment of a Ukiah Urban Boundary that is slightly different from the "new" Sphere of
Influence established in the City General Plan; elimination of the Vision Statement", elimination of
the requirement for Habitat Conservation Plans in the Hillside District, elimination of the "rim trail"
and "river trail" concepts for the valley; elimination of a joint City-County park and recreation entity;
elimination of the Economic Development Element; elimination of the concept of a valley-wide
design review board and substitution of language calling for the development of similar design and
landscaping guidelines; and changes to the land use designations of parcels in close proximity to
the City.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW: The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed UVAP and
formulated a number of comments (minutes attached). While the Commission did not have the
benefit of correspondence prepared by the County Planning Staff, it nevertheless forged ahead and
commented on various aspects of the proposed Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: Review the proposed Ukiah Valley Area Plan, correspondence received
from the County Planning Staff, and the Planning Commission comments, and prepare formal City
comments to the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors.

Draft Ukiah Valley Area Plan (#GP 20-98)
The purpose of this memorandum is to assist the City Council in commenting on the draft Ukiah Valley
Area Plan (UVAP) by highlighting major differences between the City of Ukiah's General Plan and the
UVAP as recommended to the Board of Supervisors by the County Planning Commission. The UVAP is
currently under review by the Board of Supervisors in accordance with its commitment in 1992 to
consider the City of Ukiah's General Plan as an area plan for the Ukiah Valley.
The UVAP was modified by County staff in accordance with the Board's direction in 1999 to reduce
information that pertains primarily to the City and provide an increased County perspective, increase
consistency with the County General Plan, update information and increase clarity in format and content.
While the City of Uldah's General Plan was intended to meet the broad legal requirements of a general
plan, the UVAP will constitute only one element of the County's General Plan, thereby allowing the
County more latitude in determining the range of issues to be included in the UVAP. County staff
believes that the UVAP as revised maintains the general policy direction of the City's General Plan,
consistent with the purpose of a joint City-County plan for compatible land use policy adjacent to the City
and in areas with shared resources or common interests.
At the conclusion of the Board's review, the County intends to prepare a new environmental document on
the plan tentatively agreed to by the Board, followed by hearings for final adoption. Upon adoption, the
City is urged to consider whether the changes made by the Board of Supervisors warrant review and
potential amendment of the City's General Plan.
The most critical changes are listed below. Revisions of secondary interest are provided in Attachment A.
The Area Plan Element
1.03 The Planning Area
The "Ukiah Urban Boundary" (Figure l-D) is added encompassing lands around the City which the
County has determined are appropriate for urban growth.~ Policies in the UVAP such as OC-15.3.1 and
LU-1.1.3 direct urban growth into the Ukiah Urban Boundary rather than the City's Sphere of Influence2
(SOD because the County does not have direct control over the SOI, which includes areas such as the
western hills that are inappropriate for urban densities.
The Vision Element
2.01 The Community Visioning Process
The Board of Supervisors has tentatively determined to delete this chapter in order to eliminate ambiguity
over the interpretation and use of the Vision Statement.3
The Ukiah Urban Boundary includes lands adjacent to the City classified for urban densities in the County General Plan.
The SOI is as shown in the City of Ukiah General Plan, to be recommended for adoption by LAFCo.
The Board of Supervisors has reviewed Section 1.01 through 3.06 of the January 3, 2002 draft UVAP.
- /
Memorandum to Ukiah City Council 2
Open Space and Conservation Element
3.02 Hillside Development
Habitat conservation plans: Policies and measures proposing the preparation of "habitat conservation
plans" which have been the subject of litigation in other areas of California are proposed for deletion.
Parks And Recreation Element
8.02 Financing Recreation Facilities Valley-wide
Financing for park and recreationfacilites: Goal PR-1 and related actions are modified to advocate
investigating financing methods for park and recreations services, rather than making the decision to form
a joint City-County park and recreation entity at the outset. Goal PR-1 may also encompass park
maintenance and security issues; therefore Goal PR-2 and related actions are recommended for deletion.
8.04 Hiking, Mountain Bicycling and Equestrian Trails
Valley Rim and Russian River trails: The City's General Plan envisioned the creation of a trail system,
focusing on the Russian River and Valley rim. In lieu of Goal PR-6 and related actions, a simplified
program to expand the Valley's existing trail system for hiking, mountain biking and equestrian use is
proposed, emphasizing connection to trails on public lands. References to rim and Russian River trails
and methods for obtaining trail lands such as ballot initiatives or conditioning development projects were
vigorously opposed by the public and are recommended for removal.
Circulation And Transportation Element
The detail of the Circulation and Transportation Element has been reduced to provide a simplified yet
ratiOnal method for defining, maintaining and expanding the transportation system and to increase
consistency with County regulations and practices.
Economic Development Element
Elimination of element: The Economic Development Element is recommended for deletion due to the
lack of substantive programs, possible outdated nature of its content, and recognition of other ongoing
economic development efforts. Given that economic development plans tend to be programmatic
reflecting changing economic trends, an Economic Element is likely to become quickly outdated. The
Preliminary Work Program for the County General Pan Update directs that economic development issues
will be provide a foundation for land use policy in the Update. Measure ED-1.1.1 and ED-1.2.2 are
retooled as Measures OC-16.3.1 and LU-1.1.2.
Community Design Element
12.01 Design Guidelines
Design and landscaping guidelines: This section is revised to require the preparation of design and
landscaping guidelines to enhance visual appearance, taking into account differences in land use and
communities within the Valley. Guidelines adopted by the City will be considered in City-County
transition area, the gateways, and along US 101, State Street and railroad corridors. This approach
contrasts with the City'.s General Plan, which calls for a combined City-County design review committee
and landscape program establishing consistent guidelines for development throughout the Valley.
Land Use Element
13.02 Relationship between Area Plan Policies and Land Use Classifications
Memorandum to Ukiah City Council 3
Compact development themes: The Land Use Element summarizes the central theme of the UVAP
promoting compact development. Goal LU-1 and associated actions in the UVAP are added to provide
clear direction for compact development and livable, sustainable communities. The UVAP and City's
General Plan both locate urban uses in the Rural Communities (Calpella, The Forks and Talmage). The
City's General Plan also directs urban uses to the Sphere of Influence, while the UVAP substitutes the
Ukiah Urban Boundaryn as wells as other locations that accommodate resource dependent uses or
recognize existing commercial or industrial development (Measure LU-1.1.3). Both plans reduce rural
subdivision densities to a maximum of one unit per acre, however, the UVAP provides additional
development potential in the eastern hills, while being more protective of lands on the Valley floor and
north of Ukiah, west of US 101 for resource uses.
Land use policies in the City's General Plan protective of agricultural lands have been moved to other
sections of the UVAP or incorporated into the text. Housing related measures in the City's General Plan
have been deleted, but may be considered for incorporation into the County's revised Housing Element.
The "master plan area" concept in the City's General Plan has been eliminated from the UVAP.
13.03 Discussion of Land Use Maps
The County Planning Commission retained the classifications on the existing County General Plan Land
Use Map unless UVAP policies or other compelling arguments warranted a change, rather than working
from the Land Use Maps in the City's General Plan. The most noteworthy changes compared to the
City's General Plan are discussed below, with their locations keyed to the attached map.
A. Lovers Lane area: The City's General Plan designated the Lovers Lane area as a "master plan area"
while the UVAP does not include this classification.
B. Planned Development classification: The UVAP adds the Planned Development Combining
Classification (PD), which is applied to lands in the eastern hills classified Rural Residential - 1 acre
minimum as well as the Vista Del Lago area classified RMR-20. The City General Plan assigns the
Existing Lot Size classification to the eastern hills north of Vichy Springs Road while the UVAP retains
the classification in the text, but does not assign it to any lands on the Land Use Map.
C. Suburban Residential/Medium and High Densi _ty Residential classifications: The UVAP substitutes
the County's existing Suburban Residential (SR) classification for the Medium and High Density
Residential (MDR, HDR) classifications in the City's General Plan because the SR classification
encompasses the densities allowed by the MDR and HDR classifications. Thus, while such areas lie
north and south of the City, the practical effect of this modification is minimal, especially given that the
subject areas adjacent to the City are substantially developed.
D. Calpella and The Forks Rural Communities: The boundaries of the Calpella and Forks RC are
modified in the UVAP when compared to the City's General Plan. The heavy industrial areas north of
Calpella and The Forks (lumber mills, gravel operation) are retained in Industrial rather than RC, in order
to decrease the future potential for incompatible land uses.5 The UVAP retains Agricultural lands as a
separator between The Forks and Calpella. The boundary of The Forks RC has been extended to the
south in the-UVAP,6 while the City's General Plan designates this area as North State Complex.
E. Brush Street area: The entirety of the Brush Street 'triangle" area is proposed to be classified
Commercial in the UVAP. In contrast, the City's General Plan designates sOme lands adjacent to the
railroad tracks as Industrial.
Both plans include the North State Complex.
RC allows industrial, residential or commercial zoning.
The northern portion of property owned by Mendocino Forest Products which is currently undeveloped.
Memorandum to Ukiah City Council 4
F. Lands south of Ukiah Municipal Airport: The Commercial classification currently assigned by the
County General Plan to lands south of the Ukiah Municipal Airport is proposed to be retained in the
UVAP. The City's General Plan classified the lands Industrial consistent with adjoining land in the City
in order to reduce intensity in the airport flight path.
The Industrial classification currently assigned by the County General Plan to lands between US 101 and
the railroad, southerly of the Airport, developed in a variety of industrial or heavy commercial uses, is
proposed to be retained in the UVAP. The City's General Plan classified the lands Agricultural
consistent with adjoining private land east of US 101.
G. Isolated Industrial on Talmage Road: The Industrial classification assigned in the County General
Plan to an existing industrial operation east of US 101, north and south of Talmage Road, is proposed to
be retained in the UVAP. The City's General Plan designates the area Agricultural and Rangelands.
H. Ci_ty property south of Landfill: Land owned by the City south of the Landfill (location of gun club)
is classified Public Lands in the City's General Plan; however, the existing Rangeland classification is
retained in the UVAP. City staff concurred with this change on the basis that the land may be sold.
Rural Residential and Remote Residential classifications: The Rural Residential (RR) classification in
the City's General Plan (1 to 40 acres) was revised in the UVAP to retain the RR-1, 2, 5 and 10 acre
minimums found in County General Plan. The Remote Residential (RMR-40/80) classification in the
City General Plan was revised in the UVAP to retain the RMR-20 and RMR-40 classifications found in
the County General Plan. This apples to all lands shown as RR or RMR on the map.
Memorandum to Ukiah City Council 5
ATTACHMENT A
Comparison of Draft Ukiah Valley Area Plan and City of Ukiah General Plan
The following modifications to the drag Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP)7 are of secondary but
also noteworthy importance.
Open Space and Conservation Element
3.04 The Russian River and Its Tributaries
Stream and creek resWration: Measure OC-8.5.1 advocating participation in the City's stream and
creek restoration process is deleted because it has been indicated by City staff that these plans will be
completed prior to adoption of the UVAP.s
Conversion ofriverfront land: Goal OC-! 0 and related actions are revised to prohibit conversion of land
in the 100 year floodplain classified RL or AG, rather than prohibiting conversion of riverfront land,
which is ambiguous.
3.05 Water Resources
Grading regulations: The Board of Supervisors has tentatively deleted Measure OC-12.2.1 requiring the
adoption of grading regulations because this measure duplicates policy in the County' s General Plan.
Contaminated stormwater runoff: New Measure OC-12.2.5 would require the City and County develop
a program to reduce contaminated stormwater runoff, including retrofit of collection systems serving high
use facilities that discharge to the Russian River. Measure OC-12.2.3 is concurrently broadened.
3.06 Agriculture
Goals, and related actions have been strengthened and substantially revised to reduce ambiguity and
increase consistency with other revised actions in the UVAP.
Lands classified AG or RL: Measure OC-15.3.4 as revised strengthens protection of lands classified AG
or RL by addressing deficiencies in existing policy in the County General Plan.
Right to Farm: Measure OC-15.3.7 provides a specific directive to record the Agricultural Nuisances
and Disclosure Ordinance (right to farm) as a condition of discretionary projects located within 300 feet
of AG or RL land, when conflicts could occur. The City's adoption of these measures would further the
protection of agricultural lands.
Ag diversification: Measure OC-16.3.1 was moved from the Economic Development to this section.
3.07 Air Quality
AQMD educationalprograms: Goal OC-21 and related actions supporting education programs of the
Air Quality Management District are recommended for deletion because they are not directly land use
related and do not depend on inclusion in the UVAP for their implementation. Other changes relocate
existing policy, reduce redundancy or delete existing practices.
Historic And Archaeological Resources Element
4.01 Historic and Archaeological Resource Protection Program
Archaeological sensitivity map: The map (Figure 4-A) is deleted because parcel specific data useful for
project reviews cannot be represented without compromising resource protection and areas of sensitivity
are constantly updated as new surveys are conducted.9
January 3, 2002 draft UVAP.
The County has been participating in their preparation.
Memorandum to Ukiah City Council 6
Historical resources in the City: Detailed information on historical resources in the City was deleted
from the Element per the Board of Supervisor's directive to reduce material pertaining only to the City.
Safe .ty Element
5.01 Geologic Hazards and Seismic Safety
Earthquake Fault Zones and other faults: Measures SF-I.I.2 through SF-1.2.2 restricting development
in Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones above that mandated by State law, as well as near other active
and potentially active faults outside the Earthquake Fault Zones, are recommended for deletion because
compliance with State law provides sufficient protection.
5.02 Dam Inundation, Flooding and High Groundwater
Development in the FEMAfloodplain: Measure SF-2.1.3 is added requiring the County to work with
the Federal Emergency Management Agency to update the 1983 flood maps for the Ukiah Valley, taking
into account existing and projected cumulative development. SF-2.3.4 places a responsibility on the
developer to address cumulative impacts and show what steps were taken to minimize fill and
encroachments in the floodplain.
5.04 Disaster Preparedness
Section 5.04 was added to the UVAP by the County in consultation with the Mendocino Emergency
Services Authority to recognize the role of emergency services planning.
Energy Element
6.01 Transportation and Related Energy Use
Vehicle fleet energy efficiency: Goal EG-2 and related actions pertaining to energy efficiency of the
County's vehicle fleet are recommended for deletion as peripheral to land use planning, in favor of their
consideration during the County's General Plan Update.
6.03 Building Design
Adaptation of State energy standards to UMah Valley: Measure EG-5.1.1 is recommended for deletion
because County staff could not identify how the State energy codes could be modified as pertains to the
Ukiah Valley.
Airport Element
7.03 Long Term Issues and Opportunities
Airport combining district: Measure AE-1.1.2 is recommended for deletion because the County is in the
process of adopting compatible airport combining districts, and this measure and AE-1.1.1 are redundant.
Parks and Recreation Element
8.03 Future Park Needs
South of [Vashington Avenue Park: Goal PR-3 and related actions to develop the park within 5 to 10
years using in-lieu fees are recommended for deletion.
Riverside Park: Goal PR-4 and related actions are modified to focus on maintaining the compatibility of
Riverside Park with adjoining agricultural uses, rather than initial park master planning.
Goal PR-5 and related actions are modified to assist in evaluating the need for recreational facilities rather
than the development of a new community center.
9 The Sonoma State University Northwest Inventory concurs in deleting the map.
Memorandum to Ukiah City Council 7
Community Facilities Element
9.01 Water Services
Information in this section has been updated based on the Drinking Water Adequacy Assessment report
produced by the California Department of Health Services.
9.02 Sewer Services
Compliance with sewage disposal regulations: Policies CF-4.1 and CF-4.2 and associated measures
reflect State mandates and are recommended for deletion.
Sewer extensions into rural areas: Policy CF-4.3 and related measures are modified to emphasize the
protection of water quality, rather than the extension of sewers into rural areas with water quality
problems. Measure CF-4.3.3 reflects existing practice and is recommended for deletion.
9.03 Public Health and Medical Care
Elimination of section: This section is recommended for deletion as unrelated to land use policy.
Actions in this section do not rely upon inclusion in the UVAP for implementation.
9.04 Public Facilities For the Community
Elimination of section: This section is recommended for deletion, consistent with modifications to Goal
PR-5 supporting the efficient use of existing facilities.
9.05 Public Education
School facility and land use compatibility: The section is modified to emphasize the compatibility of
school facilities and surrounding land uses, rather than thc provision of school facilities in general.
Measures CF-8.1.1 and CF-9.1.1 are recommended for deletion as unrelated to land use planning.
Measure CF-8.1.1 is added to discourage incompatible uses adjacent to public schools. CF-8.2.2 is
specific to the County zoning code.
Circulation And Transportation Element
10.1 The Existing Road System
Simplify approval criteria: The excessive detail in this section is eliminated, while maintaining its
essential provisions. Measure CT-2.2.2 encompasses many of the approval criteria set forth in other
measures proposed for deletion.
Road improvements and budget coordination: Measures CT-2.4.1 is modified to emphasize
coordination of County road improvement planning and budgeting with the UVAP. Measures CT-2.4.2
and CT-2.4.3 requiring the County to initiate and complete road upgrades within specified time periods
are unrealistic and are proposed for deletion.
Intersection controls: The substance of Measures CT-3.3.1 through CT-3.3.5 and CT-3.2.2 is combined
within CT-3.2.1.
Community programs to reducepeak hour traffic: CT-3.4 and related measures are peripheral to land
use planning and recommended to be deleted, in favor of consideration in the County General Plan
Update.
10.2 Future Roads and Circulation Patterns
Brush Street interchange: A Brush Street interchange (southbound only or full interchange) is
recommended in Table 10-H and Measure CT-5.1.3.
Coordination of future road improvements: CT-4.1.1 as modified providesa general directive to
coordinate the UVAP with County road priorities, rather than mandating specific time frames for
improvement.
Redemeyer Road and Orchard Avenue extensions: New measures include CT-4.1.2 which establishes
the Redemeyer Road extension as a high priority and CT-4.1.3 which urges City-County cooperation in
Memorandum to Ukiah City Council 8
extending Orchard Avenue. These measures are consistent with LU-1.1.4 and LU-1.1.5 (Chapter 13)
addressing comprehensive planning for development in the eastern hills and Brush Street area.
10.03 Alternative Transportation
Bicycle safety programs: Policy CT-7.4 and Measures CT-7.3.5, CT-7.4.1 and CT-7.4.2 conceming
bicycle safety are proposed for deletion, in favor of consideration in the County General Plan Update.
MTA programs: A number of measures under Goal CT-9.1 supporting Mendocino Transit Authority are
proposed for deletion because these activities are not directly land use related and can be conducted
without inclusion in the UVAP.
10.05 Neighborhood Traffic Management
Neighborhood traffic mitigation: Measure CT-11.1.1 is modified to be more relevant to the County by
eliminating a requirement for a neighborhood traffic management, but requiring that development
projects fully mitigate traffic impacts on neighborhood character and integrity.
10.06 Road Abandonment
Elimination of section: This section is recommended for deletion, in favor of consideration during the
County General Plan Update.
Community Design Element
2.06 Special Design Issues
Above'ground towers: Policy CD-8.2 and Measure CD-8.2.1 are added to minimize visual impacts from
above-ground towers.
Artificial light: Goal CD-11 and related actions add a new section to reduce the impacts of artificial
light; this issue is also germane to the City.
Land Use Element
13.01 Development Issues
Nonconforming uses: In the UVAP nonconforming uses must be re-established within one year as
provided in the County General Plan, rather than two years as set forth in the City's General Plan.
13.03 Land Use Classifications and Discussion of Land Use Maps
Use of County land use classifications: One of the central goals of the City-County planning process
was to maintain the County's land use classification system as much as practical. Minor revision to the
UVAP precisely conform the "intent, general uses, minimum parcel size, and maximum dwelling density"
provisions of the land use classifications to the same classifications in the County General Plan.

innovative approach in dealing with the "key components for preserving quality
neighborhoods, density issues, and perhaps smaller units." She recommended the
Commission be more proactive in identifying those areas that are suitable sites for
secondary units and/or additions to a dwelling before "allowing control."
It was noted high rents must be charged to offset the cost of construction for secondary
units.
Mr, Stump desired to present the proposed discussion pertinent to the Regulations to
the City Council for direction.
IOA.
UKIAH VALLEY AREA PLAN: Introduction of the Ukiah Valley Area Plan
recommended by the Mendocino County Planning Commission to the Board of
Supervisors. Formal City Planning Commission discussion and recommendation
development scheduled for April 10, 2002.
Planning Director Stump reported staff received the November version of the Ukiah
Valley Area Plan (UVAP) as proposed for modification by the Mendocino County
Planning Commission in January 2002 whereby the Planning Commission received a
copy for tonight's discussion. Yesterday, he received another version of the Plan dated
January 3, 2002, and he was unsure whether it was the same version. He intends to
move forward with the formal Planning Commission discussion and recommendation/
development of the Plan on April 10, 2002. He will check with the County Planning
Department as to which UVAP version is correct. He recommended the
review/discussion focus on the land immediately adjacent to the City and the
accompanying land use designations, and City/County issues such as maintaining
congruent design review elements in the valley, among other issues. The adopted
Ukiah General Plan called for the City and the County to develop a Joint Design Review
Board to review projects in order to maintain the merited design and architectural
continuity. The County has now suggested that such a B(3ard may be impractical,
stating a more beneficial approach would be to develop and implement similar design
guidelines as opposed to initiating a body to oversee design issues. He again
recommended focusing on the planning elements associated with those areas in the
County located near the City boundaries as well as important regional planning
concerns.
A bdef discussion followed regarding the two UVAP versions.
Commissioner Pruden briefly elaborated on her involvement with the formulation of the
Ukiah General Plan .and the Ukiah Valley Area Plan. She noted there are various
sections of the UVAP that are considered incomplete or lack certain information, such as
the Historical Archeology Resource Element, noting the historical component for the City
is much different than for the rural areas. The rural areas have two components the City
does not have that include the Pomo areas and ranch history. She further noted another
difference is the City has implemented a creek/stream restoration/improvement plan as
recommended in the Ukiah General Plan, which the County, in her opinion, needs to
further address in the UVAP. The City has prepared and implemented a lot of its General
Plan requirements/recommendations encompassing many analyses and plans whereby
the County has not. The County needs to be brought current on the City's
implementation plans, as the City has completed many of its short-term goals. A major
concern is the interface between the City and County on'our boundaries and how the
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION

City basically extends from Burke Hill to the Forks area, ensuring there are compatible
developmental standards and land uses. The UVAP is formulated to be extremely
protective of the Valley's agricultural lands and boundaries. The City will be forced to
not look in the agricultural areas outside the City boundaries for any kind of expansion,
should the UVAP be .adopted as a legal document. The City will have to look within the
developed urban areas north and south on State Street if the City decides to
commercially and residentially expand its development. Application of increased density
would be an issue for such expansion in the event UVAP is implemented encompassing
the strict agricultural provisions. In other words, the City will be forced to make future
expansion and development concessions should UVAP be adopted.
..Commissioner Loewenstein expressed interest in the former Masonite property and
inquired regarding the reference to "NC" as a land use designation.
Commissioner Pruden responded the "NC" refers to the North State Complex, and this
land use classification extends from the Masonite site to the Forks. The County is
viewing this area for increased sales tax revenue generation and commercial
development. The County has a strong economic interest in this particular corridor.
There was a bdef discussion regarding present development in the area near the former
Ken Fowler Auto and Truck facility.
Commissioner Wallen commented the City boundaries or Sphere of Influence is very
small in comparison to the vast amount of land contained within the Valley. The City has
no control and/or jurisdiction over the areas outside the City boundaries noting that the
City is significantly affected by the events that occur outside of its boundaries. City
history has not allowed for expansion of its boundaries and it is important for the
boundaries to grow allowing the City to be in a better position to participate and provide
influence in the decision-making process for appropriate growth and development in the
Valley.
Commissioner Pruden stated the City has never been able to successfully pass an
annexation, noting that the residents south of Beacon Lane have elected to not be
annexed into the City.
Commissioner Wallen noted the City and Valley have changed dudng the last 10
years, and there are improved incentives to living within the City boundaries in terms of
services and other associated benefits.
A bdef discussion followed regarding the problems associated with the growth potential
in a valley that is predominately pro agricultural. There was also a discussion
concerning the projected and reasonable growth expectations in connection with the
City's Sphere of Influence. It was noted the Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO),
a State agency sanctioned by the County, is responsible for annexation determination.
LAFCO has supported the concept that the City should govern the urban areas and the
County should govern the rural areas. The fact is there has been no annexation
proceeding.
Commissioner Pruden inquired regarding an update on changing the City's Sphere of
Influence with LAFCO.
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION

March 27, 2002
Mr; Stump stated the application requirements include the update of a Master Service
Element to accompany the application in which the City has never had. It is a
requirement that has come into being since the last City annexation process many years
ago. Money was allocated, as part of last year's Budget, to have the Master Services
Element prepared, but after conferring with LAFCO, it was determined that the document
could be prepared "in-house." Staff has begun the process of preparing the document,
but the complex Valley water issues have hindered the progress. Staff will, however,
continue to move forward with formulation of the Master Services Element.
It is anticipated that the Ukiah General Plan and Ukiah Valley Area Plan compliment one
another so that future City and Valley growth/development, in terms of land use
designations, zoning, and architectural compatibility, is well planned.
It was noted the Planning Commission will hopefully entertain a beginning discussion
relevant to the Ukiah Valley Area Plan at the regular April 10, 2002 meeting.

Mendocino County Ukiah Valley Area Plan - Review and formulate draft
comments to the County Board of Supervisors.
It was the consensus of the Commission to selectively review and provide general
comments subsequent to the individual chapters without making specific editorial
changes.
Commissioner Pruden noted new material/information should be added, ensudng the
document is current.
Commission Pruden made the following comments and/or recommendations to the
Mendocino County Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP):
Chapter 3, Opens Space and Conservation, Section 3.02, Hillside Development
The Hillside development .section needs to insert information indicating the City
of Ukiah has prepared and adopted the Western Hillside Constraints Analysis
Study.
Chapter 3, Section, 3.04, The Russian River and Its Tributaries
Page 9 of this section states in part, "The City of Ukiah has resulted in the
conversion of streams and creeks to channelize and tunnel drainage facilities,"
recommended softening the language to include the words, "to some degree,"
since the statement is not entirely accurate as written. She noted, the section
regarding the information on the Russian River and its tributaries should be
updated, noting that habitat restoration has been active and that large sections Of
the River have been completed within the Valley floor, along with associated
studies.
Chairman Chiles noted this same language may be written into the' Ukiah
General Plan and must be updated and/or clarified.
It was noted all documents containing information relative to habitat and
stream/river restoration should be updated.
Chapter 3, Sections 3.05 and 3.06, Water Resources, A,qficulture
The lengthy discussion relevant to Water Resources is inadequate. The
recommendation was to incorporate the Water Resource and Water Quality
sections relative to the community facilities discussion or vice versa, as it is
preSently broken into two elements whereby the discussion is not complete in
either of the two sections. Also, all new information and data/statistics relative to
the two sections should be updated noting the Russian River is a fully allocated
dyer dudng the summer months. There is no discussion concerning the
existence of private wells or the reservoir systems in the Water Quality section,
suggestive that all water systems are pressurized and delivered through the
vadous water districts.
Commissioner Correll noted the document to be very agriculture protective on
all information/discussion relative to development of agricultural land, agricultural

zone changes, and agricultural water issues. He noted agriculture does have an
effect on air and water and this issue is not adequately addressed in the UVAP
document. He noted lands on flood plane that are rich. in soil Should be left as
agriculturally zoned areas. However, he favored rezoning and/or converting
small pieces Of agricultural land that are not located on the flood planes or
contain rich soil be utilized for housing developments as a viable alternative to
the housing shortage issue.
Chapter 3, Section 3.06, Agriculture
This section requires a paragraph addressing the historical perspective pertinent
to the Valley's agricultural community as a whole.
Chapter 3, Page 32
There is a lot of discussion relative to agriculture and air quality viability in the
implementation measure section, but there is no discussion concerning the
planting of more trees for .continued oxygen generation and the associated
benefits of increased landscaping for providing cleaner air.
Chapter 4, Historic and Archaeolo.qical Resources, paRe 1
A paragraph should be added regarding Pomo and Ranch HiStory sites.
type of history differs from that of urban development history.
This
Commissioner Loewenstein commented on the deletion of figure 4-A, Areas of
High Archaeological Sensitivity on page 1 and the subsequent reference on page
2, noting the information has significance. The deletion of this particular section
takes away a major tool for assessing the impact of a project. He noted that
designating the areas with the potential for cultural sensitivity allows for areas
where "site specific analysis" would be appropriate. Deletion 0f the map would
relieve project proponents from the responsibility of doing dgorous environmental
review.
Commissioner Pruden replied the County's response would be that a lot of
areas of Pomo sensitivity are not public record because they' are considered
sacred sites. Maps of "sensitive areas" are virtually non-existent because public
records do not reflect this type of information, so proposed development of such
sites is handled differently.
Mr. Stump stated the County may have a process in place where there is an
automatic field review requirement and that a map denoting areas of high
archaeological sensitivity is not necessary. He further stated the above-
referenced map is a valuable tool to the City Planning Department.
It was noted by the Commission the UVAP document appears to be a "choppy
product" with all the proposed language/statement deletions, it was also noted
there was the elimination of many goals, policies, and implementation measures,
and some of these eliminations were questionable. The City, for instance, is
consistent and responsible for upgrading particular goals and policies relevant to
planning/design elements and development issues. It was further noted that the
language pertinent to "community involvement" was completely eliminated
because the County Planning Department does not like to use citizen advisory
groups.
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Page 8
April 10, 2002
Chairman Chiles commented the entire Vision Statement has been "narrowed to
virtually nothing."
Commissioner Pruden understood eliminating information that pertains more to
the City than the County, but did not favor striking information throughout the
document that can potentially benefit everyone in the Valley, and suggested
inquiring with the County as to the reason for the deletions.
It was noted the County's discretionary review process is the same as the City's
and, therefore, projects triggering special archaeological/cultural site analysis
would be subject to the Northwest Information Center Review.
Mr. Stump stated the County routinely collects development fees to cover the
cost of the Northwest Information Center Review regarding
archaeological/cultural sites..
Chapter 5, Safety, Section 5.01, Geologic Hazards and Seismic Safety
The Ukiah Valley is zoned number "four" for earthquakes, which is not identified
in the document to reflect the Uniform Code seismic requirements.
Commissioner Wallen commented the document should show a significant
inactive fault or "inferred fault" for the western portion of the Valley, and this side
of the Valley historically has experienced major landslides. He noted a dashed
line on most US Geological Survey Maps would identify this fault. The County
has taken a "very superficial" look at the geological conditions in the area. Many
implementation measures have been deleted concerning this subject.
Chapter 5, Pa.qe 7, Flooding As A Result of Storms
The document does not adequately address that the southem canyon portions of
the Valley have historically received substantial structural damage to houses as a
result of storm conditions.
Chapter 6, Energy
It was unknown why significant information was eliminated from the Energy
element of the UVAP document.
Commissioner Loewenstein referenced the 100-Year Old Flood Zone Map,
noting it is one of the few maps that does not have City and County streets
imposed on top of it, making it difficult to identify the extent to which developed
areas are located within the flood zone.
Chairman Chiles responded the Map should not be looked at in a Street-by-
street context, but the Ukiah Valley area viewed as a whole.
Commissioner Loewenstein stated it does not matter where the flood is if the
streets and buildings are unidentifiable.
Chapter 6, Goal EG-4, Implementation Measure EG-4.1.1 Pa,qe 4
The language has been eliminated that reads, "The land development code shall
require that all development stdve to provide a'canopy coverage at matudty of
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION

fifty percent (50%) for all paved areas parking lots," noting the City requires 50
percent specifying a certain time frame, which has'been omitted from UVAP,
making the information in the section incomplete. A short-term time frame is
incorporated, but it pertains to implementation of the measure and not for the
time it takes for the trees to grow, adding to the incompleteness of the
information. This particular developmental standard should coincide with the
City's standards, ensudng the trees mature at the same time.
Cha~)ter 7, Airport
There is no reference and/or discussion concerning general aviation in this
section, which should be implemented, since it a component cf airport
operations.
Cha~)ter 8, Parks and Recreation
It was noted some of the information in this section is considered to be "stale
dated," referencing page 6, Future Park Needs. The information was taken from
the Ukiah General Plan that has since been updated. New information should
reflect the newly proposed Grace Hudson School and the Ukiah Valley Cultural
and Recreation Center facility.
Commissioners Loewenstein and Wallen questioned why Mendocino College
is shown on a County and Federal Park and Recreation Land map, referencing
figure 8-A on page 2. Mendocino College is not a park/reCreation facility even
though there is documentation indicating the College does offer some
recreational uses.
It was noted the UV^P document does not reference other recreational facilities,
recognizing uses the local schools provide.
Chairman Chiles commented regarding page 3, City of Ukiah Parks and
Recreation, first sentence, that reads, "The City of Ukiah provides a variety of
neighborhood and community parks, a museum, the Civic Center, athletic fields,
and recreational programs used by City and Valley residents, as well as other
visitors," recommending changing the language to reflect visitors to the Valley,
instead of implying City residents must visit their own parks. He further
commented on page 5, Financing Recreation Facilities Valley-wide, that reads,
"Residents of the Ukiah Valley and populated areas beyond Redwood and Potter
Valleys all use recreation facilities within the City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Valley"
and "In addition, new residential areas lacking new community and neighborhood
parks may place greater demands on existing park and recreational facilities and
activities," inquiring why the language that reads, "unincorporated portions of the
Valley," was eliminated. He stated, in his opinion, the language should be
remain as stated. His interpretation for the elimination of the aforementioned
language would be that the County does not want to be included in the growth
inducing demands relative to existing facilities and/or take an active part in
development of new facilities. He. noted the County does not want to take part
and/or discuss the creation of a park district.
Commissioner Pruden responded the County may not be interested in taking
an active part in the establishment of new recreational facilities, as the County
has no parks and recreation budget and no director.
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Page l0
Apdl 10, 2002
Commissioner Loewenstein noted discussion for the establishment of a trail
system has been completely eliminated from the UVAP document.
Commissioner Pruden noted, referencing the section on goals, policies and
implementation measures, policy PR-1.1.1, the County will join with the City to
investigate methods for financing park and recreation facilities and services.
Chairman Chiles responded the County will join with the City to investigate
methods for financing, but not the feasibility for creating park and recreation
facilities and services.
It was noted more of an effort should be made on the part of the County to assist
the City with creating joint park and recreation facilities, or to at least allow an
option for the development of a Joint Park District. The Commission
recommends there be more of an "interface" between the County and the City on
park/recreation issues.
There was a brief discussion relevant to the recreational facilities and/or
accommodations at Lake Mendocino, but it was noted the City has been
ultimately responsible for the cost of maintenance and development of parks and
recreational facilities/programs for City/County residents as well as visitors to the
community.
Commissioner Pruden commented regarding page 20 of Chapter 8, noting
there, is a typographical error on Goal PR-7, Enhance the safe movement of
bicycles within the City and surrounding areas, referring to the City in the policy
when the reference should be to the County, and requires clarification. She noted
the document does not discuss in the entire Bicycle Plan how to interface the
bicycle lane program between City and County jurisdictions.
Commissioner Correli commented the document infers the County is not
interested in promoting growth and development within the Valley, only in
maintaining the existing developments. The document eliminated any
information/encouragement relative to bdnging in new businesses to the Valley
and, furthermore, deleted certain residential zoning designations indicating a lack
of interest or indifference.
Chapter 9, Community Facilities and Services, PaRe 10
The document completely eliminated the discussion relative to the Public
Facilities for the Community, including information regarding public and private
facilities for meeting and general use,.some of which are owned by a particular
district incorporating no jurisdiction Or those located in the County. Elimination of
the public facility information provides for no facility statistics as well as any
discussion pertinent to public facilities for the community multi-purpose events
and functions. Public facilities are necessary in the County, as the community
should not have to rely upon the City to provide accommodations for public
meetings.
Chapter 10, Circulation and Transportation, PaRe 1
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Page ! 1
April 10, 2002
The information provided in this chapter appears to have been taken from a
"traffic flow book," and there is no discussion concerning the interface between
City and County circulation and transportation issues, which is a critical
component.
A bdef discussion followed regarding traffic and circulation statistical data
strongly indicating impacts to various intersections. There is also no discussion
concerning the population increase within the City limits that impact and
contribute to traffic/circulation problems.
It was noted an earlier version of the UVAP addressed growth factors and traffic
issues in the City. It was further noted the City has not grown in terms of size
and it is reaching build-out capacity.
Commissioner Wallen commented on the problem relative to the traffic section,
noting the County does not address the issue that the City is expanding north
and south due to the east and west development terrain restrictions. The City is
becoming longer and longer whereby transportation problems are not considered
in this regard. The Valley is expanding .north and south and destroying
agricultural land whereby the City is being poorly developed in terms of an
appropriate planning approach. The reason is that the County possesses a
strong commitment toward agricultural land preservation, which is an important
concept, but must be realistically evaluated in terms of allowing for positive
growth potential.
Commissioner Pruden did not favor the elimination of the entire section
regarding Economic Development element because documentation supporting
economic improvement is necessary for securement of grants.
Chapter 12,' Community Design, Goal CD-l, Implementation Measure CD-1.1.1
Pa.qe 1
The language that reads, "Consider the design guidelines adopted by the City in
City-County transition areas," should be strengthened to include State Street and
the areas from Boonville Road to the Forks, at the minimum.
Chairman Chiles replied the document refers to the gateway and scenic
corridors, recognizing such areas as providing visitor first impressions.
Commissioner Pruden stated the document addresses transition areas, but the
reality is that the transition areas are North and South State Street, which are not
aesthetically pleasing.
It was noted the word "shall" must be implemented in the document, making
certain that design guidelines for development are consistent and followed for the
purpose of enhancing the visual character of the Valley.
Chapter 13, Land Use
Commissioner Loewenstein commented one of the most significant deletions
from the UVAP is all reference to medium-density and high-density residential
housing whereby the City is burdened with the task of developing/providing all
affordable housing for the Valley.
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Page ]_2.
April 10, 2002
It was noted the City is the hub of urban development and the County is
concerned with rural development, which encompasses iow density. After the
City developed new terminology for land use classifications, the County reverted
to its former land use zoning classification terminology. The County implemented
such terminology as Suburban Residential (SR) as well as other land use
categories that the City never included in its land use classification terminology.
The County does have Planning Development (PD) zoning designations.
.Chapter 13, Pa.qe 14
The (SR) land use classification description resembles Commercial
Neighborhood (CN) more than it does for R-1 or R-2 zoning classifications. The
County discussion does not adequately address land use classification issues,
especially along State Street or acknowledge the possibility that such areas
could possess commercial frontage encompassing residential behind them, as
does the City, should the. County desire to maintain its current land use
classifications.
It was noted the CoUnty does not apply and/or particularly recognize the mix-use
concept.
Chapter 13, Pa.qe 14
Commissioner Loewenstein stated it appears multi-family dwellings are
acceptable in the SR zoning classification encompassing a density of one unit
per 1,500 square feet of lot area.
Commissioner Pruden addressed the limited area classified as SR zoning to
include the neighborhoods south of Beacon Lane to the Norgard Lane/Plant
Road area, noting this zoning classification should be further developed to
encompass the concept of land use designations containing commercial frontage
with residential located behind. She noted the discussion is really about CN
zoning classification in terms of land use' designations for the southern portion of
the Valley.
A brief discussion followed regarding the County's obsolete land use
classification terminology.
Commissioner Correli recognized potential County areas from parcel maps that
could be "broken down" from large parcels and re-zoned for residential
development, provided that the land is geologically sound. He proposed that the
north/south corridor be re-zoned where possible to include the breaking down of
"little pockets of agriculture land" into smaller developable residential units of land
to lessen the burden of the housing shortage problems in the City limits. He
stated the UVAP document is not acknowledging the growth concept or
considering practical zoning classifications. In other words, the County is "out of
the growth business and into the maintenance/preservation of land business,"
leaving the City to provide for growth and development issues as well as contend
with providing public services.
Commissioner Loewenstein noted the SR zoning classification is immediately
adjacent to the City limits, presumably the only area potentially developable for
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Page ]3
Ap_HI 10, 2002
affordable housing accommodations that could reduce some of the City's
responsibility for providing services and other living necessities for such residents
that would otherwise be dependent upon the City. The SR classification appears
to be the only real urban designation with the potential to accommodate some
residential development.
Chapter 13, Pa,qe 21
Commissioner Pruden agreed with how the County classified "Range Land."
However, the North Stated Complex (NS) should be designated for mixed-use
rather than for industrial/commercial use.
Commissioner Pruden stated the Valley residents enjoy the "rural flavor," but
the document places a tremendous amount of pressure on the City to provide for
growth and services to its residents. She noted the areas of Caipella and
Talmage have the potential to be "very nice villages" possessing the capacity for
accepting higher urban concentrations, and desires to keep those "green stdps"
open so that the areas do not look like a continuous chain of development. The
Talmage and Calpella areas would be able to accommodate a lot more
development, becoming very nice "residential satellites" encompassing their own
services without having to utilize City services/facilities.
It was noted the above-referenced areas could be re-zoned to accommodate
growth and development. It was further noted the County is concerned with
growth "sprawl" but there are ways to increase the density in areas without the
appearance of developmental "sprawls."
Commissioner Correll recommended the County better define agricultural land,
preserving the best and most fertile land and flood plain zone areas for
agricultural purposes. This would leave the less productive land or less desirable
land incorporating other types of land terrain that may be more conducive for
residential development.
There was a general discussion regarding increased agricultural competition
generated from other counties and the potential effects it may have on the
Valley's future agricultural land. It was noted that agriculture represents
approximately ten percent of the state's economy.
Tom Water, Ukiah, stated the water availability issue has been a contributing
factor to the problems associated with growth in the Calpella area.
Commissioner Wallen expressed concern about looking at various spectrums
of growth and making compromises between agricultural land, transportation flow
issues, and residential development, noting the importance and application of
implementing effective planning and re-zoning practices. Residential
development has been primarily west of the Russian River whereby no
consideration has been given for development east of the River. The push for
development has been progressively north and south, destroying good
agriculture land. To the contrary, preservation of prime agriculture land is
actually being encouraged on the eastern side of the Russian River with the
north/south freeway flow. He cautioned without carefully planning the potential
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Page ]4 "

$-/I
for east/west development, the Valley will become one solid corridor of housing
from Calpella to Burke Hill.
Commissioner Loewenstein supported the concept of the County applying
progressive planning techniques and adopting current zoning terminology for
appropriate growth and development to discourage massive quantities and/or
long solid streams of aesthetically displeasing housing developments throughout
the Valley.
Commissioner Pruden noted the County has neglected to acknowledge good
land use planning by not considering the mixed-use concept for the commercial
areas such as the North State Complex and the redevelopment areas south,
which is a key component to assist with the housing shortage problem.
Commissioner Loewenstein noted if the City has to bear the responsibility of
providing all the affordable housing, public services, and parks and recreation for
the entire Valley, that the City should be able to annex the North State area as a
source of tax revenue in order to effectiVely provide such services.
Additionally, it was noted the document must be written to encourage new
businesses for the area as well as to accept growth and/or ~urban sprawl" by
appropriately reviewing and applying effective planning and zoning
techniques/concepts.
The Planning Commission is encouraged to continue providing further discussion
and comments/input relevant to the UVAP document. The above-referenced
Planning Commission comments will be presented to the City Council for review.
The Commissioners thanked Commissioner Pruden for her valuable input and
comments to the UVAP document.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT:
REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL CONCERNING INTEREST IN DEVELOPING
MIXED COMMERCIAL-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND
SETTING OF DATE FOR JOINT CITY COUNCIL/PLANNING COMMISSION
MEETING
SUMMARY: Staffwas recently approached by two different landowners who expressed an interest
in developing mixed commercial-residential projects within the City. Both land owners had
progressive visions of integrating attractive affordable housing with small to medium sized
commercial land uses. These visions included elements such as strong pedestrian orientation,
creek restoration, abundant landscaping, unique architecture, and the development of a "village"
setting. Staff is very receptive to these development/redevelopment concepts, and is excited about
the prospect of working with these property owners to develop creative projects that fulfill
community needs and improve the aesthetic and environmental qualities of our City.
The purpose of this Agenda item is to inform the Council of these preliminary discussions and set a
date for the annual City Council/Planning Commission meeting to discuss broad community
planning and development issues, problems, and alternative solutions. The last joint meeting was
held on January 31,2001. Staff is recommending the joint meeting be scheduled for July or August;
there is a fifth Wednesday in July (31st).
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set date and time for the joint City Council/Planning Commission
meeting.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: AWARD OF BID TO RAINBOW CONSTRUCTION FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE
CIVIC CENTER ADDITION IN THE AMOUNT OF $979,800
The City of Ukiah received two bids for the construction of the new Civic Center addition at 411
Clay Street. The Notice to Bidders was issued on April 25, 2002 and published in the Ukiah Daily
Journal on April 28 and May 5. Notice was sent to all contractors identified on the City's Qualified
Contractors List as well as five Builders Exchanges. The building is approximately six thousand square
feet and will house Electric Utility staff, Information Technology Services, utility billing equipment,
Purchasing and paper storage, and Police evidence.
In response to the Notice to Bidders, staff received bids from Rainbow Construction in
$979,800, and Cupples Construction in the amount of $992,569. The Architect's estimate was
$850,000.
Several issues were raised by both bidders at the bid opening, regarding the validity of the
respective proposals submitted by each bidder. Cupples Construction has subsequently submitted a
formal letter of protest (Attachment # 5) contending Rainbow's bid forms were non-compliant with the
bid specifications as the forms were removed from the Specification Booklet, and that Rainbow's
roofing subcontractor is not licensed to apply the specified roofing material. Rainbow has verbally
submitted a protest that Cupples violated the Public Contracts Code, as the required list of
subcontractors submitted with Cupples bid did not identify each category of work to be done by each
subcontractor.

The City Attorney has reviewed the bid documents and respective protests submitted by both
contractors. It is the City Attorney's opinion that while some of the issues raised by the bidders are
valid, the City may seek other remedies to the violations and is not required to reject the bids solely on
the basis of the issues raised by the bidders. He has stated that the City should treat both bids as
valid for the purpose of awarding the contract. It should be noted that the subcontractor listed by
Rainbow Construction for roofing has been verified by the roofing manufacturer as a qualified installer
of the specified product.
Both Rainbow and Cupples are local firms with significant experience in projects similar in size and
scope to the proposed addition. Rainbow has completed several significant public projects and most
recently was awarded the bid for construction of the new Grace Hudson Elementary School. Rainbow
was also the General Contractor for the construction of the Ukiah Valley Conference Center. Cupples
Construction has also completed several significant projects in this area. Most recently Cupples
completed the addition and remodel of the Grace Hudson Museum. While the Museum project was
undertaken by the Sun House Guild, City staff participated in overseeing the project. It was staff's
experience that Cupples Construction demonstrated a high level of experience and expertise in project
management and quality construction.
The City Council has three options in considering this item. As the City Attorney has determined that
the bids are valid for the purpose of awarding a contract, the Council may proceed with awarding the
bid to the lowest bidder, reject the Iow bid and award the contract to the next lowest bidder, or reject
all bids without prejudice and direct staff to reissue the Notice to Bidders.
Rejecting the Iow bid requires the Council to determine that the Iow bidder is either not responsible or
is incapable of completing the project. Staff does not believe that determination could be made based
upon Rainbow's record. Staff is also not recommending rejection of the bids as the rebid process will
delay the project several months, pushing construction into winter. Also, rebidding does not guarantee
the City will receive additional or lower bids in the future.
As Rainbow's bid in the amount of $979,800 is the lowest responsible bid, staff is recommending the
Council award the bid for construction of the Civic Center addition to Rainbow Construction.
