PUBLIC HEARING
Consideration of Adjusting Rates for City of Ukiah Electric, Water, and Street Lightin.n
Services.
il
III.
Adoption of Resolution Increasing Rates for Electric Servic,~
Adoption of Resolution Increasing Rates for Water Servic~
Adoption of Resolution Increasing Rates for Street Li.qhtin.q Charge
City Manager Horsley reviewed the pdmary reasons behind the request for the rate adjustments.
Public Utilities Director Bames reported on the need to make the legal requirements of the bond covenant,
and called the Council's attention to the fact there has been only one rate increase of 3 1/2% since 1991.
The street light fee has remained constant since 1986, and the City has been covering a negative cash
balance in this account every year.
Council queried Mr. Barnes relative to the bond payment, and the increased costs of purchase power due
partially to the increase in the cost of geothermal power. It was noted the basic issue is covedng the bond
with the trustees.
Discussion followed relative to a chart distributed to the Council illustrating the impacts of all of the proposed
utility rate increases on the consumers. It was noted the City's rates are Iow in comparison to other districts,
and that the negatives in the budget had been paid out of reserve funds until this year.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: 7:17 p.m.
John McCowen, PO Box 454, stated that historically, electdc rates have always been below Pacific Gas
& Electric (PG&E). The fact the City has taken some financial setbacks in other areas is not a sufficient
justification to raise the electric rates. With the coming of deregulation, the City is sending a signal to their
large commercial accounts to change suppliers; the residential users will bear the brunt of the increase.
Judy Pruden, 304 South Hortense, cited the history of her utility bills, and stated she did not support the
utility rate increase. She further stated she voted against the dam and hydroelectric plant, and voiced
concern for the impact the fee increase would have on the eldedy. She urged the Council to implement a
lesser increase.
Patricia Haley, 408 West Bames Street, stated that when deregulation occurs, the customers of the City's
electric utility will not be allowed to switch; this was upsetting to her. She urged the Council to take into
consideration those individuals who are Iow income, senior citizens, or on disability.
Phil Baldwin, 627 Willow Avenue, stated he was not blaming the Council, since he understands they
inherited the problem. However, he expressed concern over discussions not occurring eadier in the year;
now it is after the fact. He observed the fees being used as a form of taxation, with the revenue going into
the general fund; taxation should be related to the ability to pay. Franchise fees should be $1 instead of
$674,000.
Al Beltrami, 145 Mendocino Place, representing the Mendocino County Employer's Council, acknowledged
the Council's difficult position and the fact the bond covenant was an issue that nothing could be done about.
He commented on new businesses in the City that were allowed to come in and were not charged utilities,
and Proposition 13, which came about as a result of people's frustration. He recommended the Council
reopen the budget; reconsider some issues, including the franchise fees; and consider reducing the rate
increases.
Jim Kohn, 110 Norton Street, stated his utility bill is much higher than what is shown on the handout,
mentioned the Thomas Plaza and the downtown facade program and asked the Council if the City could
afford such costly and nice amenities.
Kathy Libby, 1181 Bush Street, stated she was strongly opposed to the rate increases, and saw them as
tax increases to cover large ill-advised expenditures. She suggested the rate increases be put on the
November ballot so voters can say what they think of the proposals.
Marcia DePriest, 315 Pomo Drive, questioned why the ratepayers should be subsidizing private industry,
and stated the financing of the Mendocino Brewing Company was an insult to the businesses in the City of
Ukiah. She further stated her concerns that new home builders do not get a break on their utilities; there
are no underground utilities being installed; the City's streets need to be improved; and her utility bill is "out
of sight." She requested a print-out of businesses who had received incentives, and asked if the same
Regular Adjourned Meeting

456
incentives had been offered to everyone. She also requested a comparison of rates with other cities of
Ukiah's size, and not adjoining water districts. She stated that Ukiah is in a cdsis and raising the rates is
not the answer.
Steve Harmon, 825 Pomo Drive, commended City Manager Horsley in her attempts to reduce costs, and
stated it was apparent the public members in attendance believed the public utility has been the City's
"golden goose."
Warren Sawyers, 221 Helen Avenue, voiced his opinions regarding the previous City Manager, the City's
financial decisions, the plight of some of the City's small businesses, its senior citizens, and the debt
incurred with the construction of the hydroelectric plant.
Ron Fryer, 1109 South State Street, voiced his opinions on power failures, the City's electric equipment,~
and business incentives. He stated he felt the City should absorb their losses and get out of the electric
business, and that it has a '~white elephant" on its hands, with deregulation coming in the near future. He
further stated his opinion the City did not need the burden of a conference center.
Bob Bafia, 404 East Perkins, voiced his concern regarding the power outages, and stated he does not
endorse a rate increase.
John Mayfield, Ukiah, suggested eliminating the franchise fees and cutting some of the City's expenditures.
He questioned the number of staff necessary in the Finance and Planning Departments, recommended the
sale of the ambulance business, exploring whether the City can go on the open market for power, and
examining the expenditures relative to their actual necessity. He further recommended the budget be
examined thoroughly, and that the Council not just arbitrarily raise the rates.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: 8:05 p.m.
Discussion followed relative to the City's commercial customers and the debt service.
Ms. Horsley reported she met with the department heads and had already found $120,000 in cuts that could
be made to the budget. She intends to meet with them again examining the ramifications of reducing
personnel. The City is looking at privatization options in at least four different areas. She further
commented that Redevelopment is a totally different revenue source that has nothing to do with the electric
utility. Any incentives given through the Redevelopment Agency are paid through the Agency; they don't
affect electric, which is an Enterprise Fund.
Discussion followed regarding the history of the franchise transfer, billing, and franchise costs.
Councilmember Malone stated he appreciated the comments from the audience, and that he is a
homeowner and small business owner who will bear the increase in the costs also. He acknowledged the
Council's responsibility to make sound decisions, but emphasized that none of the Councilmembers are
employed full-time in that capacity. He stressed the need for policies addressing individuals on fixed
incomes, and advocated income averaging to spread utility costs over a full year.
Councilmember Shoemaker commented on the capital expenditures made for equipment in the past few
years, and the fact much of the electric revenue has been expended to the Fire Department, Police
Department, and Parks.
Discussion followed relative to transfer fees, exploring the alternatives for a three-tiered rate for senior and
Iow income individuals, conservation, and a pedodic review of the effectiveness of the proposed cost cutting
measures to ascertain whether a rate reduction would be in order.
MIS MastinlShoemaker to adopt Resolution No. 97-5 authorizing a 12.1% Rate Increase for Electric
Service, carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Mastin, Malone, Shoemaker, and
Mayor Schneiter. NOES: Councilmember Wattenburger. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None.
MIS MalonelMastin to adopt Resolution No. 97-6 authorizing a 15.0% Rate Increase for Water Service,
carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Mastin, Malone, Shoemaker, and Mayor
Schneiter. NOES: Councilmember Wattenburger. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None.
MIS MalonelMastin to adopt Resolution No. 97-7 Authorizing an Increase in the Street Lighting Charge from
$1.50 to $2.00 per month, carded by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Mastin, Malone,
Shoemaker, and Mayor Schneiter. NOES: Councilmember Wattenburger. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT:
None.
Recessed: 8:35 p.m.
Reconvened: 8:40 p.m.
7b. Adoption of Resolution Updating Plannin~ Permit Fees
Senior Planner Charles Stump reviewed highlights from the Planning Staff Report, and advised a study
Regular Adjourned Meeting
July 17, 1996
Page 3
457
was conducted to determine if the City's planning permit fees were adequate in terms of recovering the
actual costs of processing development permit applications. The study indicates that Ukiah's planning fees
are approximately 40.8% lower than the City of Cloverdale's fees, 22% lower than the fees charged by the
City of Willits, and 74% lower than those charged by Mendocino County.
Discussion followed wherein it was determined the percentage of time the Planning Department spent on
processing permits versus other planning processes was approximately 40% to 50%, and that the proposed
fees would recapture 75% of the cost of processing. Further discussion followed regarding fees for
boundary line adjustments and appeals.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: 8:54 p.m.
Judy Pruden, 304 South Hortense, commended the efforts of the Planning Department and stated she had
no objection to the increase in the planning fees. However, she felt the large percentage increase should
be implemented on an increment basis, with the increase occurring over a two-year pedod.
Al BeEr'ami, 145 Mendocino Place, questioned the selection of the surveyed jurisdictions and asked what
the basis for comparison was. He suggested the Council consider not increasing the fees.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: 9:01 p.m.
Discussion followed regarding the appeal process and the attached fees. It was the consensus of the
Council that there should be a no fee appeals process. Further discussion followed relative to site deposits,
hourly fees, tiered and variable rates, and incremental increases.
Mr. Stump advised the maximum $450 fee would be reached with each permit application if an houdy fee
were instituted.
Councilmember Wattenburger stated he had no concerns with the total amount; he would prefer an
incremental increase.
MIS Schneiter/Malone to adopt Resolution No. 97-8 Updating Planning Permit Fees Pursuant to City
Adopted Ordinance 880, with the elimination of the processing fees for appeals, carried by the following roll
call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Mastin, Malone, Shoemaker, and Mayor Schneiter. NOES:
CouncilmemberWattenburger. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None.

Introduction of Ordinance Rezoning Various Properties in and Around the Wagenseller
Nei~hborhood~ Pursuant to Implementation of the Adopted General Plan
Councilmember Shoemaker left the meeting at 9:23 p.m., stating he was a property owner in that area.
Mr. Stump advised that Phase Two of the City-wide General Plan rezoning program involves 51 lots situated
in what is generally referred to as the Wagenseller Neighborhood. Most of the area is currently assigned
a commercial zoning classification, and the new General Plan has designated these parcels as residential
to reflect existing development.
He further advised the project involves rezoning 22 parcels from "C-2" (Highway Commercial/Restricted
Industrial) to "R-3" (General Multiple Family Residential); 3 parcels from "C-1" (Light Commercial) to "R-3"
(General Multiple Family Residential); 15 parcels from "C-2" (Highway Commercial/Restricted Industrial) to
"R-I" (Single Family Residential). Along North Main and North Mason Streets, 10 parcels are proposed to
be rezoned from "R-3 (General Multiple Family Residential) to "C-1" (Light Commercial).
Council queried staff on noise corridors and the historical character of the neighborhood.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: 9:24 p.m.
John McCowen, PO Box 454, stated there were no objections from property owners when the issue came
before the Planning Commission.
Judy Pruden, 304 South Hortense, stated she was in strong support of the zoning proposals; the area
functions as a neighborhood and is considered heavy residential. The neighborhood was discussed
extensively in land use in the General Plan. She urged approval of staff's recommendation.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: 9:27 p.m.
MIS Mastin/Malone to adopt the Negative Declaration for the Wagenseller Neighborhood Rezoning, carried
