PUBLIC HEARING - SIGN ORDINANCE NO. 685
City Manager reported the proposed amendment to the sign ordinance
has received extensive review during work sessions by the Planning
Commission and has been subjected to public scrutiny at three
public hearings. City Manager reported the existing sign ordinance
is sketchy, was designed to meet building permit type problems,
and its adoption was motivated at the time the freeway landscaping
was begun. The proposed ordinance is more comprehensive and deals
with aesthetics of signs , restricting height, size, and location.
A variance procedure is included. It provides for 5 years ammortiza-
tion period to allow the sign owner time to depreciate the sign.
Non conforming signs would not be involved for 5 years .
Mayor Wood declared the public hearing open at 8 : 35 p.m.
Lee Enemark, 150 Mendocino Place, spoke in favor of the proposed
ordinance. Mr. Enemark stated that during the 4 months the Re-
vitalization Committee was meeting and visiting other cities , it
was noted that a successful sign ordinance was the first step for
revitalization of that city. Mr. Enemark stated that in his opinion
this is a good ordinance. A letter from the Chamber of Commerce was
read expressing the revitalization committee ' s thanks to Council
for accepting suggestions made regarding the proposed ordinance, and
stated said ordinance has been submitted to the Chamber Board and
has been approved by said board.
Mr. Charles Snakovich, Sanky Signs , 150 Cherry, spoke in opposition
to a portion of the proposed ordinance, with specific reference
to Article 3 . He said it would result in needles red tape. In
his opinion, the wording should be more definite. Mr. Sankovich
estimated 80% of the existing signs would be non-conforming with
the adoption of subject ordinance. Mr. Sankovich also stated that
sign ordinances are being subjected to suits in other cities and
suggested Council take a "wait and see" attitude.
Mr. Barry Vogel also spoke against the proposed ordinance. His
question pertained to the permit requirement.
Mayor Wood declared the public hearing closed at 8 : 43 p.m.
City Manager stated if subject ordinance is adopted, a sign survey
will be conducted during the summer months to determine the percent
of non-conformity, etc. Councilman Feibusch expressed concern about
the bureaucracy being created. He stated there is no one to deal
with aesthetics. He asked if the ordinance would be self supporting.
It was explained that no fee structure was provided in the ordinance,
but that this could be accomplished by resolution. When questioned
about the amount to be budgeted to enforce said ordinance, the
City Manager stated the cost would amount to $2500 per year for
four years to determine non-conformity.
Councilman Simpson asked who would do the policing.
City Manager stated during the 5 year period, particularly at the
end of the 5 year period, an administrative burden will exist.

PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT OF UTILITY RATES
REQUIRING DEVELOPERS TO BEAR FULL COST OF
UTILITY EXTENSIONS & SERVICES
City Manager had prepared a recommendation for Council consideration
which would require the developer to pay all costs of new services
_ .. within the boundaries of his development and the cost of a system
improvement required in order to serve the development. This procedure
is similar to what is done with water or sewer system extensions.
City Manager stated the adoption of this amendment would reduce the
budget needs for 1976-77 by $150 , 000.
Councilman Simpson made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 76-52 .
Councilwoman Pearson seconded the motion.
Public hearing was declared open at 9 : 02 p.m.
There was no one present in the audience to speak in favor of the
proposal.
Those who spoke in opposition -
Jim Allred, 980 Riverside Drive, stated the cost should be shared
equally. Future developers should share the expense.
Richard Codding, 33 Encino Court, Santa Rosa, was present in the
audience and stated he was not for or against the proposed amendment.
He received the material this date so was not familiar with its contents .
He stated his concern is what position the City of Ukiah intends to
take ragarding the developers of Orchard Plaza Inc . He introduced
his architect and the Vice President in charge of Long ' s Drugs. He
- - stated the company has made a large investment, is in the middle of
the project and the building permit has been taken out. Mr. Codding
stated he has bargained in good faith with the City of Ukiah and now
there is mention of additional fees after the building permit has
been obtained. He requested additional time to review the ordinance.
Mayor Wood explained that the City needs help to purchase equipment
and install it. Independent business decisions were made and those
individual business decisions came together at a time and place when
the city became obligated to pay $40, 000 to meet the demand for
electrical service. The city did not know these projects were coming
at the same time. It is a question of who pays - the customer or the
developer. Mr. Codding alleged that the rules had been changed in
mid stream and that it is apparent that the company was being penalized
long after the development was approved. After being informed of how
much additional money adoption of this ordinance would require, Mr.
Codding stated the amount was triple the amount at the time the
company became involved in the project.
Mr. Allred asked if City rates are less or the same as PG&E. City
Manager stated historically, 200; 5% at the present time. Mr. Allred
stated PG&E is not talking about charging for transformers; that PG&E
spreads the cost out where no one gets hurt. The question was posed:
Should the people pay these costs or get costs at the front end and
pay lower rates further down the line?
Codding stated the company is willing to pay the City exactly what the
project would cost for development with no charge for transformers.
Public hearing was closed at 9 : 30 p.m.
Councilman Feibusch stated he had misgivings about this resolution.
In his opinion, this would hinder growth within the city. He stated
he is looking for control in growth. This could discourage many people
coming into Ukiah. Councilman Feibusch suggested that the city adopt
a procedure whereby the developer pays the full cost of bringing power
to his porject and then have a repayment schedule . elrly on a percentage
of consumption so that the city will not have/Sff!�� to start with and
developer will return fair share of his outlay to city based on consump-
tion within the project.
Councilman Simpson stated PG&E does not charge directly for putting
in transformers but the charge is reflected in rate increases which
the customers pay. Councilman Simpson suggested a compromise, not
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH

once a year repayment, but a monthly repayment.
Mayor Wood stated the real crunch is where to pinpoint the cost -
at the time you require service or at the time the building permit is
taken out.
Mr. Codding again pleaded that property owners be given additional
time indicating their counsel had not had time to review the
proposal.
The following roll call vote on the original motion which would
amend the utility rates as originally proposed resulted in defeat
of sAid motion:
AYES: Mayor Wood
NOES : Councilmen Feibusch, Simpson, Councilwoman Pearson
ABSENT: Councilman Brannon
Councilman Simpson made a motion City Manager prepare another resolution
taking into consideration items discussed at this meeting for pre-
sentation at next meeting.
City Attorney stated the matter could be continued to the next meeting.
Councilman Wood stated Councilman Simpson' s motion was not definite
enough to give direction to the City Manager
Councilwoman Pearson stated she is in favor of passing the cost
on to developer, but not in thisform.
Councilman Simpson stated he is also in favor of passing the cost
on to the developer, but he does not know how much.
Councilman Feibusch stated he does not know over what length of time
to receive a discount on consumption.
City Manager stated there is a need for expression of philosophy.
Councilman Feibusch made a motion to direct the City Manager to come
back with a resolution with the concept that the developer
advance total cost of improvements and be reimbursed with a time
limit on reimbursement. The motion died for lack of a second.
Councilman Simpson made a motion developer should advance total
amount necessary and reimburse the developer in the neighborhood of
60% of that cost. Mayor Wood seconded the motion.
Mayor Wood stated talking abouts-rebates made him nervous . Mayor
Wood withdrew his second.
On a motion by Mayor Wood, seconded by Councilwoman Pearson it
was carried by the following roll call Mote to adopt Resolution
No. 76-52 as proposed originally with the payment effective as of
the date of taking out the building permit.

the City Manager and not being allowed more time to discuss subject
matter with city staff.
