Fellow Councilmembers,
I ask this Council t° formally oppose any City of Ukiah, County of Mendocino.
or Mendocino Council of Governments funding for the Hopland Bypass. Not only
are there far more critical transportation projects in Mendocino Count), and not
only is this a project inspired by State masterminds rather than local need, but it is a
project that will induce auto dependent, sprawling subdivisions here and in Lake
County by cutting commute time to Santa Rosa and San Francisco.
Attached find two letters from local citizens making the case for this position
better than I. Thank you for considering this issue.

HOPLAND BYPASS PROJECT
INFt QUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
March 16, 2004
What is the purpose of this project?
The project purpose is to provide an interregional transportation facility that will
relieve congestion, reduce operational conflicts by separating local traffic from
inter-regional traffic, accommodate future traffic volumes and improve safety.
What is the need for this project?
The need for this project is centered on the following concerns:
Congestion, Operational Conflicts and Delay - Within project limits
the existing roadway is a conventional highway with numerous at-
grade public and private road connections. Existing peak hour level
of service is "E". US 101, functioning as "Main Street" carries 70%
inter-regional travelers. Truck passing lanes in North Hopland
segment are the only passing opportunities.
· Safety - While the overall corridor has collision rates below the
statewide average, the fatality rate is 1.7 times the statewide average
for similar facilities. As volumes increase over time and capacity is
exceeded more frequently, collision rates will increase.
· Regional Improvement Priorities - The Hopland Bypass has been
the top rated improvement priority of the North Coast Counties
Supervisor's Association since the Willits Bypass project was
removed. The Hopland Bypass and North Hopland continue to be
short-range priorities in the Regional Transportation Plan.
· Concept Facilities - The existing roadway is not consistent with the
Caltrans "Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan" and the
District I Route Concept Report for Route 101. Both repons call for
a four-lane facility in the Hopland area. Route 101 throughout the
state is one often "Focus Routes" identified by the California
Transportation Commission for improvement.
What are the benefits of this project?
This project would provide a safe, modern facility to accommodate both existing
and future peak hour volumes. It would also provide guaranteed passing
opportunities, and would meet the facility concept established through State and
Regional planning efforts. The project would reduce travel time through the
corridor. The construction of a freeway bypass would significantly reduce
collisions and operational conflicts on the existing Route 101 segment. Statewide
-1-
collision rates on four-lane facilities are three times lower than for two-lane
conventional highways.
Specifically, the project would:
· Reduce congestion by providing guaranteed passing opportunities
· Increase the level of service and reduce delay time
· Accommodate future growth (expected 70% increase in volumes
over 20 years)
· Enhance safety of corridor (four-lane facilities are safer than two-
lanes)
· Enhance safety within Hopland by removing inter-regional traffic
and reducing operational conflicts
· Close the last two-lane gap between the Bay Area and Willits
· Enhance air quality and noise levels in the Hopland community
· Reduce energy consumption by eliminating stops/acceleration
Won't construction of this project induce growth in Mendocino County?
Market forces such as housing costs, salary levels, and the comparative differences
between where housing is located and where jobs are located are the key factors
affecting growth. Access improvement alone seldom provides the impetus for land
use development change or change in intensity. Since we know that construction is
still many years away, the need to resolve traffic issues in Hopland will already
exist prior to construction. Any additional growth that a bypass might induce would
be incidental to growth that is already projected.
Since this facility would be a four-lane freeway/expressway, access to the bypass
would only occur at interchanges. No opportunity to provide direct (therefore
improved) land access will occur.
In contrast (although not being proposed), a new conventional (two-lane) highway
route could open up new access to land, thereby inducing growth.
How long has this project been around?
The Hopland Bypass project and the North Hopland project (also known as
Crawford Ranch) have been identified as needed projects in Caltrans documents
and the Regional Transportation Plan for over 25 years.
How long does it take to complete a major project like the Hopland Bypass?
Like many things, the controlling factor is finding the funding to commit to the
project. If funding were secured though, it would still take many years until the
facility is ready for traffic. Projects in the State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP) are generally funded by four separate activities: Environmental
(PA & ED), Design (PS&E), Right-of-Way (ROW), and Construction.
-2-
· Environmental - This phase considers all the environmental
impacts of several alternatives (including the No Build alternative).
For normal projects this phase takes 5-6 years. If there are
significant impacts to species, archaeological sites, wetlands, etc.,
this phase could take longer to complete.
· Design - Preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates could
take as little as two years, but typically takes three years on larger
projects.
· Right of Way - This phase could take 2-3 years depending on the
complexity of the final alignment. Some of this work could take
place concurrent with the design phase.
· Construction - Large projects such as this, especially in areas like
the North Coast that experience winter work suspensions, will take
about 3 years.
To sum this up, if we had funding commitments in place today, it would probably
take at least 12-13 years to complete this project. More realistically, we would be
very close to Year 2020.
Where are we now in this long process?
With their share of the State Highway Account funds in the 1998 State
Transportation Improvement Program, Caltrans programmed $5 million for the
Environmental Phase of the Hopland Bypass. Just a few months later, in
conjunction with the 2000 State Transportation Improvement Program, Caltrans
programmed $2.2 million for the Environmental Phase of the North Hopland
project.
The environmental phases of the two projects were eventually merged for the
purposes of efficiency and environmental consistency. Work began on the project
in 2001, and in 2003 a Community Advisory Committee was created.
Current projection for completion of Project Approval and the Environmental
Document is December, 2007 for the entire corridor being studied (Russian River
bridge to Burke Hill).
So now why is the Hopland Bypass project being considered for elimination by
Caltrans?
Over the past two years, we have become very familiar with the financial situation
of the State in general and the financial situation of the State Transportation
Improvement Program in particular. This year Caltrans is facing staff reductions
that will impact their ability to work on all the projects that they had planned. There
are currently about 40 projects statewide that are only in the first phase
(environmental) of development. About 20 of these have to be cut to match the
available personnel. Projects that are further along than Hopland (proceeding into
-3-
the right-of-way acquisition and construction phases) are much harder to cut due to
the amount of resources previously committed.
Why don't we just drop Hopland until we have funding and there is a greater need?
It takes a great deal of effort and resources to get a project rolling. To date there
have been Value Analysis studies, open houses, environmental studies, field
surveys are 90% complete and the Community Advisory Committee has been in
place for over 14 months. By all accounts, the project is progressing smoothly.
We know from past recoveries that trained personnel may not be available to work
on projects when the money again becomes available. There is always a lag
period that is measured in >'ears.
We know that environmental work has a certain life expectancy. It will have to be
repeated if there is a significant interruption in the environmental work.
We also know that the need for the project will not diminish over time. Costs for
right-of-way acquisition are likely to increase substantially.
Our work with the Wine Country IRP indicates that the jobs/housing imbalance
between Mendocino and Sonoma counties is expected to increase.
What is Caitrans asking of MCOG?
Cheryl Willis presented a report on the Hopland Bypass status at the March 1, 2004
MCOG meeting. The crux of the issue is that the State has to reduce its work load.
It wants some reassurance that the projects that it continues to work on will be
eventually supported (financially) by their partners in the inter-regional system
(regional agencies). If there is no reassurance that the design, fight-of-way, and
construction phases will be funded, the Hopland Bypass will become a good
candidate for the axe. We need to recall that all the funding to date for the Hopland
Bypass has been provided through the Inter-regional Improvement Program. There
have been no Regional Improvement Program funds programmed for this project to
date.
Cheryl Willis presented the following options for clarifying MCOG's financial
support for the Hopland Bypass:
· MCOG may declare its intent to seek GARVEE bonding for funding
ROW and capital needs of the Hopland Bypass
· MCOG may designate, by Resolution of the Board, all of its RiP
funds in future STIP cycles until funds sufficient to meet 25% of
project costs are reserved
MCOG ma>, take no action, in which case Caltrans will likely
recommend de-programming the Hopland Bypass project.
-4-
Didn't we just deal with this issue last year?
At the March 3, 2003 meeting the MCOG board passed Resolution M2003-3 that
committed $2 million of its un-programmed funding toward future needs of the
Hopland Bypass. This same Resolution recognized that participation in cost sharing
of the Hopland Bypass project will be greater than 15% and may be as much as
25%.
This action was enough to avoid cutting the Hopland Bypass last year. As we all
know, the situation has worsened over the past year and another round of project
cuts is imminent.
How much are other regional agencies participating in these Caltrans/regional
partnerships around the state?
Information on partnerships from the 2002 STIP cycle apparently was not
published, but information from the 1998 and 2000 STIP cycles indicates that
partnership projects show that the average financial sharing for these projects is
close to 50/50.
Then why is it that MCOG has previously asked to come up with less than 50% of the
costs for the Hopland Bypass?
MCOG and other small regional agencies have argued that we are disadvantaged
when it comes to delivering very large projects. The statewide 50/50 average is
heavily influenced by the 17 counties that have active transportation sales taxes in
place. A 50/50 cost sharing for very large projects like Willits and Hopland push
them out of the range of affordability. District 1 has been supportive of a lower
participation rate and has been at least partially successful with Caltrans
Headquarters in establishing a 25% local target for these large projects.
Other than MCOG's commitment to the Hopland Bypass, does Caltrans
Headquarters have other concerns with this project?
Yes. Construction of the entire corridor under environmental review will cost well
over $250 million. This is a lot of money in any part of the state. It is unrealistic to
assume we can construct all components of the project at one time. In order to
produce a fundable project, the Caltrans design team continues to work on staging
options that include:
· Decreasing the project limits to only include about 4 miles around
the community of Hopland (postmiles 8.8 to 13.0)
· Including only one interchange, at State Route 175
These staging options would produce a project in the $130 million range, leaving
the other components for future years.
-5-
How much funding capacity can MCOG expect to receive in the 2006 and subsequent
STIP cycles?
Attached to this report is a bar graph entitled "Post SB 45 STIP Funding" that
clearly indicates that the STIP cycles have varied substantially since the first Post
SB 45 cycle in 1998. In 1998 it was over $17 million: this year it is $0.
Variables that go into the fund estimate include Federal as well as State revenue
projections, commitments to the State SHOPP (State Highway Operations
Protection Plan), commitments to mandated programs (seismic retrofit), loan
repayments, debt service, etc.
There is no "average" STIP cycle. In some cycles (as this year) we have $0 new
capacity, but we nearly hit $18 million in 2002. Somewhere in between zero and
$18 million would be a responsible guess of future revenues.
Disregarding the 2000 STIP but adding in the 2000 STIP Augmentation, the
average over 5 STIP cycles is over $10 million. Recognizing that some STIP years
could be $20 million and others $5 million or zero, $10 million per cycle is a ball
park estimate.
What other obligations does MCOG have for its Regional Improvement Program
share?
The Willits Bypass Project is not fully funded. Although not exactly known until
the preferred route is selected and approved, we remain about $40 million short of
completing this project. MCOG has committed to a 15% share of this project. At a
$40 million cost, our share would be $6 million. We have applied for federal
funding through the federal re-authorization process for the Willits Bypass. MCOG
has requested $23.5 million. Prospects for receiving this funding are currently
unknown, but receiving federal funding would reduce the funding gap to about
$16.5 million; our share then being about $2.5 million.
The Regional Transportation Plan mentions other major long term projects such as
Leggett to Red Mountain Creek and a bypass of Laytonville. Caltrans recently
received federal emergency funding to re-route the Confusion Hill portion of the
Leggett to Red Mountain Creek segment. Needs for substantial improvement of
other portions of that segment may be re-assessed in the future. A bypass of
Laytonville certainly remains in the long term and may be re-assessed in the future.
There are other projects of regional importance that may emerge as well: · Route 20 passing lanes (Fort Bragg-Willits)
· Redemeyer Road extension to Lake Mendocino
· Ramp improvements in Ukiah Valley on US 101
· North State Street widening
· Brooktrails second (and third?) access
-6-
Caltrans identified GARVEE bonds or commitment of ali future STIP funding as
options to save this project. What are GARVEE bonds?
GARVEE bonds are grant _anticipation revenue vehicles. They can be used to
fund projects with the debt service to b~ repaid as revenues accrue to the state and
to our local share. A sheet describing GARVEE bonds is attached to this report. A
number of Self-Help (transportation sales tax) counties are now using GARVEE
bonds to continue with STIP projects that would otherwise have been delayed due
to the current revenue shortfall.
Can staff identify other options than those identified by Caitrans that may save the
Hopland Bypass Project?
Yes. Staff believes that it is important to preserve this project to meet existing
safety needs and future capacity needs. Letting this project lapse will result in
dealing with Hopland in a reactive mode 20 years too late. Meanwhile, options
which may be now available could become precluded by development,
environmental regulations, costs, or a number of other things.
Reviewing draft financing plans for the Hopland Bypass, staff concludes that
approximately $5 million each over the next two (2006 & 2008) STIP cycles will
be enough for MCOG's share of project design and right-of-way for this project.
Construction amounting to $90 million (MCOG share $22 million) would await
future funding cycles.
MCOG may wish to consider a counter-proposal to Caltrans that commits $5
million per cycle for the 2006 and 2008 STIP periods to ensure that the
environmental phase is complete, design is funded, and right-of way is locked up.
MCOG may wish to consider continuing the $5 million commitment through the
construction phase as a minimum guarantee. It is expected that by 2008 or 2010
there will be at least one "good cycle" with programming capacity well over the
$10 million average.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION SETTING THE LIMITATION ON CITY
EXPENDITURES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2004-2005
The passage of Proposition 4 in 1979 (Article XIIIB of the California
Constitution), requires local governments to prepare a statement of
appropriations limitation. Also, each of the governing bodies must pass
a resolution setting the appropriations limit for each budget year.
The City's appropriation growth rate is limited to the change in the
greater of the City of Ukiah's or Mendocino County's population growth
rate and the change in California's per capita personal income. Exhibit
A, attached to the proposed resolution, sets forth the calculations
necessary to establish the appropriations limit for the City of Ukiah's
2004-2005 fiscal year. For this calculation, each revenue source and
General Fund transfer, listed in the adopted budget, must be allocated
as "proceeds from taxes" or "non-proceeds from taxes."
Adoption of this resolution assures the community and the State of
California that the appropriations approved do not exceed the City's
annual appropriations limit. For fiscal year 2004-2005 the calculations
show a limit of $25.8 million ($25,802,097) and appropriations subject
to the limit of $7.0 million. This provides a large margin of safety
($18.9 million) before compliance with this law would become a concern.
The limit for FY 2004-2005 ($25,802,097) is $1,098,581 greater than the
limit for FY 2003-2004. The available funds subject to the limit are
still less than one-third of the limit. Therefore, this increase has no
effect on the City's budget.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the resolution fixing
limitations on City expenditures for Fiscal Year 2004-2005.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1) Adopt resolution fixing limitation on City expenditures for
Fiscal Year 2004-2005.
ALTERNATE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
Adopt resolution with modifications.

WHEREAS, the provisions of Article Xlll B of the California Constitution (Proposition 4, 1979, the
spending initiative), passed by the voters of the State of California, place a limitation on the expenditures of
governmental agencies; and
WHEREAS, the above referenced legislation requires the City of Ukiah to establish its appropriation
limit for the 2004-2005 fiscal year; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the budgetary appropriation limitation of the City of

Dear Fiscal Officer:
Subject: Price and PoPulation Information
Appropriations Limit
MAY 1 1 2004
CITY 0F'UKtAH
FINANCE DEPT.
The California Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 2227, mandates the Department of Finance (Finance)
to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction
must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2004, in conjunction with a change in
the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2004-05. Enclosure I
provides the change, in California's per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor
and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2004-05 appropriations limit. Enclosure II provides
citY and unincorporated county population percentage changes, and Enclosure IIA provides county and
incorporated areas population percentage changes. The population percentage change data excludes.
federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations, as noted.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. Consult the Revenue and Taxation
Code, Section 2228, for the various population options available to special districts to assess population
change in their district. Article XIII B, Section 9, of the State Constitution exempts certain special districts
from the appropriations limit calculation mandate: Special districts required by law to calculate their
appropriations limit must present the calcu!ation as part of their annual audit. No State agency reviews the
appropriations limit.
Population Certification
The poPulation certification program applies only to cities and counties. Revenue and Taxation Code
Section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the
current certified population with the State Controller's Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to
the State Controller by June 4, 2004.
Please Note: City population estimates are controlled to independently calculated county population
estimates. Due to county estimates revisions for 2001 through 2003 prior year city population estimates
for local areas have also been revised.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please' contact the Demographic Research Unit
at (916) 323-4086.
Sincerely,
DONNA ARDUIN --.

Price Factor: Article Xlll B specifies that local jurisdictions select their
cost-of-living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their goveming
body. The cost-of-IMng factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the
percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage
change to be used in setting the 2004-2005 appropriation limit is:

Following is an example using sample population change and the change in
California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2004-2005
appropriation limit.'
2004-2005:
Per Capita Change = 3.28 percent
Population Change = 1.52 percent
Per Capita converted to a ratio:
3.28 + 1 O0

AUTHORIZATION OF THE ACQUISITION OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL REPAIR
SERVICES FROM REPUBLIC ELECTRIC IN THE AMOUNT OF $24,755
AND APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT
SUMMARY: In June a traffic signal pole at the northwest corner of North State Street and
Low Gap Road was knocked down in a traffic accident. The Public Works Department
contacted Republic Electric, who has provided long term maintenance of the City's traffic
signals, to obtain a quote for repairs. Republic Electric visited the site and provided a
quote on June 18, 2004.
Long term plans are on file for future improvements at this intersection, to increase turning
radii and to widen the Brush Street leg. These improvements will require a different model
of signal pole set with its foundation at a different location. Two quotes were provided, one
to repair the pole at its current location and the other quote to install a new signal pole at its
proposed future location. Staff recommends installation of a new pole in its future location,
to avoid the necessity of replacing the pole again in the future and, at the same time, to
reduce the likelihood that the signal pole would be knocked down in the future. There is an
approximate 14 to 16 week lead time to obtain the signal pole. As an interim measure,
Republic Electric will install a temporary traffic signal pole until such time that the new
signal pole is installed and becomes operational. The party responsible for the damage
has contacted the City regarding repair costs. Regardless of which pole location is
selected, the City will seek reimbursement from the responsible party for the cost of
$3,785, quoted by Republic Electric, to replace the signal pole at its current location. Staff
recommends expenditure of $24,755 to install the replacement signal poleat its proposed
future location.
RECOMMENDED ACTION' 1. Authorize the acquisition of traffic signal repair services
from Republic Electric in an amount not to exceed $24,755.2. Approve amendment to the
2004/2005 budget authorizing $24,755 in expenditures from account 100.3150.250.000.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS' Direct staff to replace the signal pole at its
current location.

SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION AMENDING PROCEDURE FOR FILLING
VACANCIES ON CITY COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS
In 2001, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2001-61 delineating the process for
appointment of members to the various City commissions. Several months ago, the
Council revised the process regarding Planning Commission appointments, whereby
individual Council members would appoint their own Planning Commission members.
Therefore, the resolution regarding the procedures for appointment must be revised to
reflect that the Planning Commission candidates no longer need to be interviewed
before they are appointed to the Council.
The attached resolution still retains the interview process for the Parks, Recreation and
Golf Commission and the Airport Commission, but the reference to the Planning
Commission has been eliminated. Staff is recommending adoption of the resolution by
the Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution amending procedure for filling vacancies
on City commissions and boards.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS: Discuss and provide alternate direction
to staff.

SUBJECT: AWARD OF BID TO UKIAH FORD IN THE AMOUNT OF $25,480.46 TO
PURCHASE A USED 4 WHEEL DRIVE EMERGENCY RESPONSE VEHICLE/PICKUP
TRUCK WITH SUITABLE EQUIPMENT
The Fire Department does not have adequate vehicles (number or type) for our Duty Chiefs to
function efficiently. The Emergency Services Battalion Chief has been utilizing one of our
patrols that are normally assigned to vegetation fires and now that fire season is upon us, the
patrol will need to be made ready and available for response with fire crews. The department
needs a properly equipped vehicle suitable for emergency response that is suited to the duties
and responsibilities assigned to the Emergency Services Battalion Chief.
The Fire Department worked with the Purchasing Department to secure the bids and the bid
opening process took place July 1, 2004 at 2:00' p.m. Request for bids was sent to 19
vendors/dealers with four responses. Purchase of this vehicle is authorized in the 2004-2005
budget with funds available in account 698.2101.800.000.
Staff is recommending the bid be awarded to the second lowest bidder due to the facts that the
vehicle bid is a heavier duty, lower mileage truck that comes equipped with towing ability. Low
bid was a vehicle that, while meeting the minimum specifications, does not have the same
capabilities as the truck offered by Ukiah Ford.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Award Bid To Ukiah Ford In The Amount Of $25,480.46 To Purchase Used 4 Wheel Drive
Emergency Response Vehicle/Pickup Truck.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTION: Reject all bids and provide direction to staff.

SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND ADOPTION OF REVISED PUBLIC SAFETY SALES
TAX ORDINANCE FOR THE NOVEMBER 2004 ELECTION
At the June 16, 2004 City Council meeting, the City Council reviewed a public safety
sales tax draft ordinance prepared by staff for the November 2004 Election. Council
made revisions to the ordinance verbiage and the revised version is now presented to
the Council for review and approval. A redlined version of the changes made to the
Expenditure Plan as well as the complete ordinance is attached for Council's review.
The Council can adopt the ordinance without first introducing it, as the Revenue and
Taxation Code overrides normal City procedure. The Ordinance is adopted for the
purpose of presenting to the voters and is only effective if approved through the ballot
process.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Review and adopt revised public safety sales tax
ordinance
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS: Discuss and provide alternate direction
to staff.

Article 3. Permissible Uses of Transactions and Use Tax
§1746: EXPENDITURE PLAN:
A. Use of the tax proceeds. The money received by the City from this one-half cent tax
:nay shall only be used to provide public safety services within the City. These monies may not I
be used for anything else. "Public safety services" means law enforcement and crime prevention
services provided by the Ukiah Police Department, and fire protection and prevention and
emergency medical services provided by the Ukiah Fire Department. These taxes may be used to
pay for such public safety services expenses as the training and salaries, including overtime and
specialty pay, and fringe benefits, of public safety officers and support staff working in the Police
Department and of firefighters, emergency medical technicians and support staff working in the
Fire Department. These funds may also be used for operating expenses, and the purchase of
vehicles, equipment and supplies, and capital improvements used exclusively by the Police and
Fire Departments.
In any fiscal year commencing with the 2004-2005 fiscal year, the City must set aside exclusively
for public safety services all of the following: (1) money produced by this tax; (2) the amount of
general fund revenues budgeted for public safety services in the 2003-2004 fiscal year, not
including revenues produced by the Police and Fire Departments, such as income from the
ambulance service, grants for public safety services and fees for service ("Public Safety
Revenues"); and (3) Public Safety Revenues. The combination of these funds shall be called "the
Public Safety Services Fund."
The City shall maintain a minimum level of public safety services, but nothing in this Ordinance
prevents the City Council from establishing a higher level of public safety services or prevents
the City from reorganizing or changing the method of providing public safety services. The
minimum level of public safety services shall be the level of such services available in the City in
the 2003-2004 fiscal year, plus the following: (1) the equivalent of four additional full-time peace
officers as defined in Penal Code Section 7 and Title 3, Part 2, Chapter 4.5 (commencing with
Section 830) assigned to patrol services, and (2) not less than $~ 50200,000 per year for staff' I
augmentation' and capital expenditures benefiting the Fire Department, including, but not limited
I
to, the purchase or improvement of equipment, vehicles and facilities. "Patrol services" as used
herein means a uniformed assignment within the Police Department that provides general or
specific law enforcement duties, including, but not limited to, Community Oriented Policing and
Traffic Enforcement.
Every five years after the Effective Date of this Ordinance, the City Council shall appoint five
people to an "Oversight Committee" the only function of which shall be to review the City's
budget for public safety services and the expenditure of the revenues so budgeted. The persons
........
-should represent a broad range of interests in the
appointed to the Oversight Committee ~1~ '
City, including such interests as business owners, racia! and ethnic minorities, Ukiah firefighters,
Ukiah .peace officers, persons providing emergency medical services for thc City of Ukiah,

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
ADOPTING CHAPTER 8C OF DIVISION 1 OF THE UKIAH CITY CODE IMPOSING A
TRANSACTIONS AND USE TAX TO BE
ADMINISTERED BY THE STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
The City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby ordains as follows:
SECTION ONE. Findings.
The City Council and the people of the City of Ukiah hereby find:
1. The City of Ukiah is 4.7 square miles in size, but is surrounded by additional urban areas and
residential subdivisions within an unincorporated portion of Mendocino County. The Ukiah
Valley is the most populous portion of Mendocino County, containing, at least, 2/3 of the total
county population.
2. The California Department of Finance estimates the population of the City of Ukiah ("City")
as of January 1, 2004, at 15,900 people.
3. Ukiah is the County Seat for Mendocino County and a commercial center for Mendocino
County, Lake County, Southern Humboldt County and Northern Sonoma County.
4. As such during business hours, the City population swells to perhaps as many as 40,000
people, including people who work, shop and receive services in Ukiah.
5. Ukiah also is located on U.S. Highway 101, which is the major north-south highway west of
Interstate Highway 5, and links southern California to Northern California and Oregon.
6. Consequently, a small city with a population of 15,900 people must provide law enforcement,
fire protection and emergency medical services to a day time population of 40,000, and respond
to emergencies within the City, on U.S. Highway 101, and on a mutual aid basis within the larger
Ukiah Valley.
7. Public safety services is a general fund obligation of the City, which receives revenues from
ad valorem property taxes, sales taxes and vehicle license fees. The City receives only 1% of the
gross receipts from taxable retail sales within the City and less than 10% of the property taxes
collected from real property located within the City.
8. Due to the State of California's budget deficit, the City has seen its general fund revenues
decrease in the last two years. In the 2003-2004 fiscal year, the City saw a reduction of over
$300,000 in revenue from the 2002-2003 fiscal year and is projecting a deficit of over $700,000
for the 2004-2005 fiscal year.
ATTACHMENT 1
9. As a result, the City is faced with a substantial deficit for fiscal years 2004-2005, which may
require lay-offs or other reductions in expenditures for public safety services in the City.
10. The total calls for police service has increased from around 2500 calls in 1969 to 24,000 in
2003, or by almost 1000%. Just in the period between 1999-2003, crime reports taken have gone
from 3900 in 1999 to 4300 in 2003. Calls for service have increased in virtually every category,
including assaults with weapons, burglary, thefts and shoplifting, drugs, sexual assaults and
domestic violence. In addition, the Police Department responds to over 400 traffic accidents per
year. In 2003, the average peace officer in the City answered 1800 calls for service, wrote 288
crime reports, made 97 misdemeanor and 48 felony arrests, and wrote 127 traffic tickets.
11. In contrast, between the years 1969 and 2003, the number of patrol officers in the Ukiah
Police Department has remained constant at 14 officers. Except in 1999, when the number
increased to five, the number of detectives has remained constant at four detectives. There are
not enough sworn peace officers in the department to have three officers on every shift in a 24-
hour period.
12. The police department responds to a substantial number of calls from City businesses, many
of these involving shoplifting. For example, in 2003 the department responded to almost 1000
calls from just seven businesses.
13. At the same time, the vehicles and equipment of the police department have not kept pace
with the demands on the department. The department has a total of eight patrol vehicles, which
range in age from 12 years to 2 years. Every protective vest used by its sworn peace officers is
past its useful life of five years. Many of its vehicle light bars, radios and other equipment are no
longer supported by their manufacturers.
14. The Fire Department provides fire prevention services, public education and information,
disaster preparedness, emergency response services, not only to fires and medical emergencies,
but also rescues, hazardous materials spills and other disasters. In 2003, the Department
responded to calls for 79 fires, 1582 medical and rescue calls and an additional 523
miscellaneous calls for assistance.
15. The City currently has an excellent Insurance Services Office ("ISO") rating of '3' for a city
its size, with' 1' being the best and' 10' the worst. With the potential for reduction in staffing
and equipment, any increase in the ISO rating will substantially raise insurance rates within the
City limits. ISO recommends a minimum of one ladder track, if the City has buildings over
18,000 square feet or three or more stories in height. The City has 31 buildings over 18,000
square feet and 22 buildings that are three stories or more in height. Its existing ladder truck is
due to be replaced at a cost of approximately $650,000.
16. At its current staffing, the Fire Department has a minimum staffing of four personnel on each
shift, 24 hours per day assigned to staff one ambulance and one fire engine. The Fire Department
needs to add additional paid staff over the next year to augment staffing shortages on the Engine
Company. If the call volume continues to increase as it has for the last several years and the city
continues to approve new commercial and residential construction as well as possible
annexations, the department projects that within the next 10 years they will need to additionally
staff the ladder truck and a second ambulance. In order to meet this projected demand the
ATTACHMENT 1
staffing levels need to increase. The Department also believes that adequate training will require
an increase in the annual amount per employee currently spent of $600 to approximately $2000.
17. Of the City's three ambulances, one has 1 year before it should be shifted to reserve status.
Another is 8 years old and should be in reserve status. The third is 11 years old and should be
replaced. Much of the other equipment essential to the Fire Department mission is past its useful
life and should be replaced, including all its self-contained breathing apparatus, all mobile radios,
portable generators, rescue air bags, one of the department's two jaws of life, which are used in
vehicle rescues, and 34% of its fire hose. Other equipment is due to be replaced within 2 years,
including paramedic equipment, and personal protective gear.
18. Unlike the current 7.25% sales tax, all of the sales tax produced by this ordinance will
remain in the City of Ukiah and be placed in a special fund that must be used exclusively to fund
public safety services. In addition, this ordinance would prevent the City from reducing the
amount of general fund revenues below the amount it spent in the 2003-2004 fiscal year on
public safety services. This ordinance also requires the City to maintain the current level of
public safety services and to increase the number of sworn peace officers in its Police
Department by four and to commit, not less than, $150,000 per year to equipment and capital
improvements for the Fire Department.
19. If this ordinance is adopted, the City will have sufficient funding to provide adequate staffing
and equipment for both its police and fire departments. Without the additional sales tax revenues
produced by this ordinance, the City may be faced with further reductions in staffing within its
public safety departments and the use of outdated and fully depreciated equipment.
SECTION TWO.
A new Chapter 8C of Division 1 is hereby added to the Ukiah City Code to read as follows:
Article 1. General.
§1735: TITLE: This ordinance shall be known as the City of Ukiah Transactions and Use
Tax Ordinance. The City of Ukiah hereinafter shall be called "City." This ordinance shall be
applicable in the incorporated territory of the City.
§1736: OPERATIVE DATE: "Operative Date" means the first day of the first calendar
quarter commencing more than 110 days after the adoption of this ordinance, the date of such
adoption being as set forth below.
§1737: PURPOSE: This ordinance is adopted to achieve the following, among other purposes,
and directs that the provisions hereof be interpreted in order to accomplish those purposes:
A. To impose a retail transactions and use tax as authorized by Revenue and Taxation
Code Section 7285.91 in accordance with the provisions of Part 1.6 (commencing with Section
7251) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 7286.24 of Part 1.7 of
Division 2 which authorizes the City to adopt this tax ordinance which shall be effective and
operative if a 2/3 majority of the City Council adopts this ordinance and a 2/3 majority of the
ATTACHMENT 1
electors voting on the measure vote to approve the imposition of the tax at an election called for
that purpose.
B. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that incorporates provisions
identical to those of the Sales and Use Tax Law of the State of California insofar as those
provisions are not inconsistent with the requirements and limitations contained in Part 1.6 of
Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
C. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that imposes a tax and provides a
measure therefor that can be administered and collected by the State Board of Equalization in a
manner that adapts itself as fully as practicable to, and requires the least possible deviation from,
the existing statutory and administrative procedures followed by the State Board of Equalization
in administering and collecting the California State Sales and Use Taxes.
D. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax ordinance that can be administered in a
manner that will be, to the greatest degree possible, consistent with the provisions of Part 1.6 of
Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, minimize the cost of collecting the transactions
and use taxes, and at the same time, minimize the burden of record keeping upon persons subject
to taxation under the provisions of this ordinance.
E. To raise revenue for public safety services as further provided herein.
§ 1738: CONTRACT WITH STATE: Prior to the operative date, the City shall contract with
the State Board of Equalization to perform all functions incident to the administration and
operation of this transactions and use tax ordinance; provided, that if the City shall not have
contracted with the State Board of Equalization prior to the operative date, it shall nevertheless
so contract and in such a case the operative date shall be the first day of the first calendar quarter
following the execution of such a contract.
Article 2. Transactions and Use Tax
§1739: TRANSACTIONS TAX RATE: For the privilege of selling tangible personal
property at retail, a tax is hereby imposed upon all retailers in the incorporated and
unincorporated territory of the City at the rate of one-half of one percent (.5%) of the gross
receipts of any retailer from the sale of all tangible personal property sold at retail in said territory
on and after the operative date of this ordinance.
§1740: PLACE OF SALE: For the purposes of this ordinance, all retail sales are
consummated at the place of business of the retailer unless the tangible personal property sold is
delivered by the retailer or his agent to an out-of-state destination or to a common carrier for
delivery to an out-of-state destination. The gross receipts from such sales shall include delivery
charges, when such charges are subject to the state sales and use tax, regardless of the place to
which delivery is made. In the event a retailer has no permanent place of business in the State or
has more than one place of business, the place or places at which the retail sales are
consummated shall be determined under rules and regulations to be prescribed and adopted by
the State Board of Equalization.
ATTACHMENT 1
§1741: USE TAX RATE: An excise tax is hereby imposed on the storage, use or other
consumption in the City of tangible personal property purchased from any retailer on and after
the operative date of this ordinance for storage, use or other consumption in said territory at the
rate of one-half of one percent (.5%) of the sales price of the property. The sales price shall
include delivery charges when such charges are subject to state sales or use tax regardless of the
place to which delivery is made.
§1742: ADOPTION OF PROVISIONS OF STATE LAW: Except as otherwise provided in
this ordinance and except insofar as they are inconsistent with the provisions of Part 1.6 of
Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, all of the provisions of Part 1 (commencing with
Section 6001) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code are hereby adopted and made a
part of this ordinance as though fully set forth herein.
{}1743: LIMITATIONS ON ADOPTION OF STATE LAW AND COLLECTION OF
USE TAXES: In adopting the provisions of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code:
A. Wherever the State of California is named or referred to as the taxing agency,
the name of this City shall be substituted therefor. However, the substitution shall not be made
when:
1. The word "State" is used as a part of the title of the State Controller, State
Treasurer, State Board of Control, State Board of Equalization, State Treasury, or the
Constitution of the State of California;
2. The result of that substitution would require action to be taken by or against
this City or any agency, officer, or employee thereof rather than by or against the State Board of
Equalization, in performing the functions incident to the administration or operation of this
Ordinance.
3. In those sections, including, but not necessarily limited to sections referring
to the exterior boundaries of the State of California, where the result of the substitution would be
to:
a. Provide an exemption from this tax with respect to certain sales, storage,
use or other consumption of tangible personal property which would not otherwise be exempt
from this tax while such sales, storage, use or other consumption remain subject to tax by the
State under the provisions of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, or;
b. Impose this tax with respect to certain sales, storage, use or other
consumption of tangible personal property which would not be subject to tax by the state under
the said provision of that code.
4. In Sections 6701, 6702 (except in the last sentence thereof), 6711, 6715,
6737, 6797 or 6828 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
B. The word "City" shall be substituted for the word "State" in the phrase "retailer
engaged in business in this State" in Section 6203 and in the definition of that phrase in Section
6203.
ATTACHMENT I
{i1744: PERMIT NOT REQUIRED: If a seller's permit has been issued to a retailer under

required by this ordinance.
§1745: EXEMPTIONS AND EXCLUSIONS:
A. There shall be excluded from the measure of the transactions tax and the use tax
the amount of any sales tax or use tax imposed by the State of California or by any city, city and
county, or county pursuant to the Bradley-Bums Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law or the

Article 3. Permissible Uses of Transactions and Use Tax
§1746: EXPENDITURE PLAN:
A. Use of the tax proceeds. The money received by the City from this one-half cent tax
may-shall only be used to provide public safety services within the City. These monies may not I
be used for anything else. "Public safety services" means law enforcement and crime prevention
services provided by the Ukiah Police Department, and fire protection and prevention and
emergency medical services provided by the Ukiah Fire Department. These taxes may be used to
pay for such public safety services expenses as the training and salaries, including overtime and
specialty pay, and fringe benefits, of public safety officers and support staff working in the Police
Department and of firefighters, emergency medical technicians and support staff working in the
Fire Department. These funds may also be used for operating expenses, and the purchase of
vehicles, equipment and supplies, and capital improvements used exclusively by the Police and
Fire Departments.
In any fiscal year commencing with the 2004-2005 fiscal year, the City must set aside exclusively
for public safety services all of the following: (1) money produced by this tax; (2) the amount of
general fund revenues budgeted for public safety services in the 2003-2004 fiscal year, not
including revenues produced by the Police and Fire Departments, such as income from the
ambulance service, grants for public safety services and fees for service ("Public Safety
Revenues"); and (3) Public Safety Revenues. The combination of these funds shall be called "the
Public Safety Services Fund."
The City shall maintain a minimum level of public safety services, but nothing in this Ordinance
prevents the City Council from establishing a higher level of public safety services or prevents
the City from reorganizing or changing the method of providing public safety services. The
minimum level of public safety services shall be the level of such services available in the City in
the 2003-2004 fiscal year, plus the following: (1) the equivalent of four additional full-time peace
officers as defined in Penal Code Section 7 and Title 3, Part 2, Chapter 4.5 (commencing with
Section 830) assigned to patrol services, and (2) not less than $! 50200,000 per year for staff
I
augmentation and capital expenditures benefiting the Fire Department, including, but not limited
I
to, the purchase or improvement of equipment, vehicles and facilities. "Patrol services" as used
herein means a uniformed assignment within the Police Department that provides general or
specific law enforcement duties, including, but not limited to, Community Oriented Policing and
Traffic Enforcement.
Every five years after the Effective Date of this Ordinance, the City Council shall appoint five
people to an "Oversight Committee" the only function of which shall be to review the City's
budget for public safety services and the expenditure of the revenues so budgeted. The persons
appointed to the Oversight Committee s!m!! should represent a broad range of interests in the
City, including such interests as business owners, racia! and ethnic minorities, Ukiah firefighters,
[.lkiah .peace officers, persons providing emergency medical services for the City of Ukiah,
homeowners and tenants.
ATTACHMENT 1
The City Manager shall provide the Oversight Committee with any information it requests which
is not exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act and shall assist it in
organizing and analyzing the information so provided. The Oversight Committee must prepare a
written report which shall be presented to the City Council at a noticed public hearing and which
shall be available to the general public for not less than 10 calendar days prior to the scheduled
hearing date. The report shall contain an analysis of the level and types of service provided by
the City's police and fire departments, the expenditure of the Public Safety Services Fund, and
the unrestricted reserves within the budgets for those departments. It shall also make
recommendations concerning the future use of these funds and levels and types of service. The
Oversight Committee shall dissolve after it files its report with the City Council, until a new
Oversight Committee is appointed for the next five year review.
B. Accounting for tax revenue. All revenues produced by the tax imposed by this
Ordinance and all interest on said revenues shall be credited to the Public Safety Services Fund
and shall be designated for use and used only in accordance with subsection A of this Section
1746. The income to and expenditures from the Public Safety Services Fund shall be accounted
for separately in the financial reports and records of the City of Ukiah.
Article 4. Miscellaneous
§1747: AMENDMENTS: All amendments subsequent to the effective date of this ordinance
to Part 1 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code relating to sales and use taxes and
which are not inconsistent with Part 1.6 and Part 1.7 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code, and all amendments to Part 1.6 and Part 1.7 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code, shall automatically become a part of this ordinance, provided however, that no such
amendment shall operate so as to affect the rate of tax imposed by this ordinance.
§1748: ENJOINING COLLECTION FORBIDDEN: No injunction or writ of mandate or
other legal or equitable process shall issue in any suit, action or proceeding in any court against
the State or the City, or against any officer of the State or the City, to prevent or enjoin the
collection under this ordinance, or Part 1.6 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, of
any tax or any amount of tax required to be collected.
SECTION THREE
1. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any
person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the ordinance and the application of such
provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby. The City Council
hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and any section, subsection, sentence,
clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection,
sentence, clause or phrase be declared unconstitutional or otherwise invalid.
2. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance relates to the levying and collecting of the City
transactions and use taxes and shall take effect immediately upon its approval by the voters as

SUMMARY 'R, EPORT
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING HOPLAND BYPASS
FUNDING--VICE-MAYOR BALDWIN
Vice-Mayor Baldwin has requested a discussion and possible action regarding the
recent Mendocino.Council of Governments (MCOG) decision for funding of the Hopland
bypass. 'The MCOG Board approved the funding of $5 million per STIP cycle (every two
years) through 2012 for the Hopland bypass. The 2002 STIP cycle allocated $18 million
for the Mendocino County regional area. CalTrans has accepted this proposal and thus
kept the Hopland bypass on their list of projects. They eliminated 20 out of 40 possible
projects' due. to the lack of staff,-time and money that it takes to do the environmental
review and right-of-way acquisition. Mr. Dow has indicated that STIP funding is not only
for local streets, but also for regional projects whereby local agencies share project costs
with the State. A question and answer sheet from MCOG is attached.
The first phase of the project, which will include design, right-of-way acquisition, and
construction, is estimated at $120 million. The State has allocated $7.2 million for
environmental review, which is expected to begin three-and-a-half years from now. MCOG
has allocated $20 million up to 2012. Additional phases, once the bypass is completed,
will construct a continuous four-lane highway to the south of Ukiah. Attached for Council's
information is a letter from Vice-Mayor Baldwin, as well as two letters to the Ukiah Daily
Journal that he has submitted for Council's review and discussion. Vice-Mayor Baldwin is
asking for action from the. City Council to formally oppose the funding by MCOG fot the
Hopland bypass.

Community education and awareness. The Ukiah Airport is a jewel in the rough.
If you sit down and look through a FAA facilities directory at airports in this part
of the world you will find that a runway of this size and so rich in safety features
is quite rare. Tlfis Airport saves lives - CDF, CalStar, Ameriflight, in addition to
being a wonderful port in a storm. I don't believe the general public is aware of
Sent By: Crane of Ukiah; 707 462 3013; Jun-26-04 6:57PM; Page 3/4
that. People also don't seem to know of the benefit to business (and our tax base)
the airport provides our community. Also it is my belief that the Airport could be
leveraged to help in getting kids excited about science, math, engineering, history,
and countless tTades skills. For decades businesses in the Ukiah area have
benefited from having access to this facility. Preserving that resource is of great
importance to our community. Were we to lose the airport there are many
business that would leave the county. This is why I want to be involved - I hope
to do my part to preserve and improve this great resource of our community.
11) In
airport
your opinion, what type of airport programs or Airport development should the
encourage?
With regard to programs: As mentioned before I believe we should be looking at
school programs. Another idea that occurs to me is to bring youth organizations
into the airport for tours and service projects. Additionally, we should be
encouraging pilot training at the airport in the form of sponsoring seminars that
qualify for the FAA Wings program. This would be a way to help provide
additional training to local pilots and foster the sense of community at the airport.
As far as development is concemed, I would need to be brought up to speed but
here are some thoughts: Hangers have been in short supply for many years. This
seems odd, as additional development of hanger space would provide additional
revenue for much needed improvements around the airport. The terminal building
seems like a worthwhile goal, especially if a restaurant were to be included -
many pilots are willing to land at an airport, and buy fuel, if there is a good
restaurant. Also a park at the airport would be a welcome addition to the facility.
Often on weekdays I will find a line of cars looking out over the flight line with
people in them having lunch; there for the unscheduled and free air show put on
daily.
12) In your opinion, what Airport programming or Airport development should the city
discourage?
I can think of no specific program or development types that I have any great
concern over. It is however my view that any great idea can be implemented in
such a way that it has a negative net result. In short, it should be the roll of
governance to find solutions that are equitable to all concerned; not to judge an
idea or concept undesirable until I hear the specifics of the plan. Just because 1
didn't think up the way to enable an idea does not mean someone else might have
a solid solution.
13) What kind of ideal community do you envision for Ukiah?
I tend to think of the ideal as being a world in which people are allowed to pursue
their dreams and ambitions in peace; one where governance gets out of the way of
itself and everyone else, where government does less and lets people do more; a
place where part of enjoying our freedoms would be to not infringe on our
neighbors fights to exercise their freedoms as well; a place where people who
served in government did so out of a sense of duty and for the greater good rather

then as a platform to foist their vision of the world on their community in the
name of the greater good.
14) Do you have any known projects or conflict of interest related to this commission?
No.

California
6. Please list community groups or organizations you are affiliated with and indicate any offices held
Ukiah Valley Democratic Clubl North Coast Striders (running club); 82"d Aerial Port Squadron (Air Force
Reserve unit), Booster Club President
Please answer the following questions on separate sheets of paper and attach to application
7. Why are you applying to serve on the City of Ukiah's Airport Commission?
I love airports and anything about flying! I served almost 10 years on active duty with the Air Force and for 6 of
the 10 years I was an air traffic controller working in the control tower and in the radar unit. I currently serve in
the Air Force Reserve as an Air Transportation Technician where I load airplanes. One of the favorite terms we
used in the Air Force about the noise airplanes make is that it is "the sound of freedom." I've always wanted to
serve on the Airport Commission and now I feel I have time to do so.
8. What is your understanding of the purpose, role and responsibility of the Airport Commission? My
understanding of the purpose, role and responsibility of the Airport Commission is that it serves in an advisory
capacity to city staff and to the City Council in the development and operation of the airport and its related
programs. Members of the Commission also provide a conduit between the city and community members, as
needed, toward the goal of meeting the needs and addressing the concerns of the community.
9. How do you believe your own skills, experience, expertise and perspectives will be beneficial to the
work of the Airport Commission? I believe my professional experience in the capacity of administrator and
manager of many non-profit organizations and programs, funding sources, and in resource development will
enhance the ability of the commission to attempt to balance the dynamics of providing general aviation services
that meet the needs of the City of Ukiah.
10. What do you believe is the single most important Airport-related issue facing our community? And
why? I believe there are two important issues facing the Airport Commission at this time. One is the land use of
land surrounding the airport and the second issue is the impact to the community relating to increased usage of
the airport. I believe these two issues have strong community support for and against and the Airport
Commission must attempt to address both sides.

APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT
AIRPORT COMMISSION
11. In your opinion what type of Airport programs or Airport development should the City encourage?
I'm in favor of developing a better air transportation system from the Ukiah valley to other communities. As
Ukiah grows, we will need to address the airport usage and wise use of available space. There needs to be a
short- and long-term planning and vision that reflects the best use of airport property and integration with other
community activities.
12. In your opinion what type of Airport programming or Airport development should the City
discourage? The City should discourage development that could potentially eliminate flexibility for meeting
changing needs in the future.
13. What kind of ideal community do you envision for Ukiah? I envision a partnership with local businesses,
community members and city staff to encourage and develop Airport programs and development in a
complementary way.
14. Are there any other City of Ukiah Committees/Commissions in which you are interested and on
which you would be willing to serve? The Parks and Recreation Commission.

I wish to continue serving on the Commissions because I have a strong
concern over the airports continuing development and its importance to the
community. I have acquired experience which I believe will benefit the future
efforts and direction of the commission.
The purpose of the commission is to advise the Ukiah City Council on airport
related matters and provide direction to the airport staff. The commission
serves the community in making the airport an important asset to the city of
Ukiah.
My past several years on the commission and experience as chairman of the
commission have given me insight into how important the airport is to Ukiah.
There is still much unfinished business to attend to. The commission has
assisted in the development of an airport land use plan designed to best direct
the use of the airports assets, both economic as well as its real property in a
structured way to best serve its users and citizens.
Wise use of the airports undeveloped properties. The issue of noise abatement
will continue at all airports and further improvements in quiet flying
techniques will be implemented at the Ukiah Airport.
The airport is a financial asset to the city therefore well thought out
development that enhances the financial well being of the city will be needed.
At the same time we must preserve the current atmosphere by concerning
ourselves with considerations such as noise, esthetics and the needs of the
community.
Development of either commercial or individual residences within the
established airport flight paths which would either impact the individuals who
would reside there or compromise the viability of the airport.
I continue to envision the City of Ukiah and the surrounding area a special
place where a wonderful living environment is not compromised by
uncontrolled urban sprawl and its accompanying congestion and noise.

Demolition Permit Review Committee Application
To Ukiah City Council,
The following is my application for the Demolition Permit Review Committee.
1) William David French, Jr.
2) 756 South Oak Street Apartment V -462-4307
3) 888 North State Street- 462-8879
4) Ukiah Community Center/Community Services Program Manager/6/2004
5)
I have lived in the Ukiah Valley for most of my 29 years and have lived in the City limits
for the past 3 years. Other than 3 years where I lived in the Bay Area, I have always lived
in the Ukiah Valley and have always been a resident of California.
6)
I am a member of the Ukiah Main Street Program and am actively involved with the
Mendocino County Mental Health Board (MHB) and was recently Corresponding
Secretary. I served for 2 years as Chair of the MHB and served as both Vice Chair and
Corresponding Secretary in my first 2 years on the MHB. I recently had to take a leave of
absence as an official member of the MHB in order to accept the position of Community
Services Program Manager at the Ukiah Community Center, but I am still actively
involved with the MHB.
7) I have lived within the City limits for the past 3 years.
8)
I have enjoyed being a part of the Demolition Permit Review Committee over the past
few years and enjoy serving my community.
9)
10)
The Committee review applications for structures that are over 50 years old, where the
owner has submitted an application for demolition. The Committee then reviews the
historical importance of the structure and makes a recommendation to the City Council
about whether to approve the demolition permit or to deny the permit.
I have not had any real experience with preservation of historic structures in Ukiah. There
is no preservation ordinance and so trying to save a structure, or even force the owner
to salvage the building materials, is not possible at this time at the City level unless
overwhelming evidence points to the structures historical importance. So far this has not
happened while I have been on the Committee. I would love to see a strong preservation,
restoration, and reconstruction ordinance put into place but it will take action by the City
Council to make this happen.
I do not have a degree in any type of architectural or building field. I have a love of
history and bring with my a strong feeling that by preserving and restoring our downtown
core, we will insure a stable and prosperous economic future for our descendants.
I have read up on local history and have recently launched a web site to showcase the
history of historic buildings in the Ukiah Valley. I also collect items relating to the history
of Ukiah.
13)
14)
As a fairly young person, I believe that I bring with me a desire to see our community
prosper and grow. For me this includes the preservation and restoration of our historic
structures. I bring with me a love of photography and an ability to study photos and do
detailed identifications of the structures in the images. I also bring with me a love of
architectural design as well as a commitment to preserve om rural heritage.
I hope to some day be a member of the City of Ukiah Planning Commission and I enjoy
being a member of the Redevelopment Agencies Design Review Board.
Thank you,
William D. French, Jr.

Forms: Parks, Recreation & Golf Commission Application
Revised: 5/20/04
7. I hope to continue for a second term on the Parks, Recreation and Golf Commission
for several reasons.
First, since I grew up in Ukiah, I recognize a void of available activities designed for
today's teens. As a result, the construction of a quality skate park has been my primary
goal. Now that a site has been identified, I would like to continue in my role as the
Commission's representative as fundraising and construction move forward.
Second, I want to continue to support the Parks & Recreation Departments current
direction of providing area parks for local residents to enjoy (i.e. the Perkins Street
"Pocket" park and Observatory Park) while at the same time assist Staff in identifying
priorities during times of budget shortfalls.
In addition, there are significant challenges facing the commission. For example, the
futures of the City Pool and Anton Stadium have yet to be determined.
8. The Commission's purpose is to work to benefit the City of Ukiah by providing
thoughtful community-based input and direction to the City's Staff relating to city parks,
recreational activities and the Ukiah Golf Course. Members are involved with varied
activities during their terms, from review of the budgets (and adjustments to the Golf
fees, when necessary) to review of new park designs. The Commission, as a body, makes
recommendations to the City Council.
9. I make my living in "Information Technology" and spend a great deal of time indoors
under fluorescent lighting working at a computer screen. As a result, I spend as much
time as possible outside, engaged in a recreational activity. I am an avid disc-golfer and
kayaker, ride a mountain bike, play golf, enjoy (remote) camping, four-wheel driving,
baseball and, in general, relaxation anywhere outside (but the further away from
technology the better).
In addition, I spent 8 years in retail management. I have a firm grasp of successful
budgeting concepts and feel that my retail experience benefits the Commission.
10. Philosophically, the single most important Parks, Rec and Golf issue facing the
commission is providing quality multi-cultural recreational opportunities for our teens. I
know how boring Ukiah was when I was a 15-year-old. And I know how much worse it
was once I was old enough to drive. It seems more and more often I see a newspaper
story of a local teen involved in a drunk driving incident or gang-related stabbing.
Available activities for these kids would have an impact, according to Alcohol and Drug
Prevention specialists.
But realistically, in consideration of the budget crisis, the biggest issue is determination
of the future of the City pool and Anton Stadium. The costs to refit/repair the facilities
are very high, even prohibitive with the prevailing budget. However the pool is an
important summertime mainstay for many Ukiah families and the City truly needs more
open space for softball and soccer. It is a very difficult position.
11. The City is currently headed in a very positive direction. Local parks are springing
up while recreational activities (like men's softball, soccer, etc.) have never been more
popular. The tree plantings along State Street have beautified the City. The City should
be encouraged to continue in its current direction.
12. In my opinion, the City should not discourage any program or development relating
to parks, recreation and golf. The Commission and City should be open to all new ideas
and suggestions that might benefit the community.
13. This may seem evasive, but Ukiah is already an ideal community. It is a beautiful
small-town with a wonderful and unique balance of art, culture, history, and recreation.
14. Currently I am interested in the Parks, Recreation and Golf Commission. After the
skate park construction is complete I might be interested in another committee.

7. Why are you applying to serve on the City of Ukiah's Parks, Recreation and Golf
Commission?
Maintaining an understanding of the current conditions, opportunities and
challenges in providing meaningful recreational outlets for the community is
important to me both personally and professionally. Providing assistance in
maintaining or improving those outlets is where I would like to be able to give
back to my community and this Commission is one way in which I may be able to
do that.
8. What is your understanding of the purpose, role and responsibility of Parks, Recreation
and Golf Commission?
The Parks, Recreation and Golf Commission provides feedback and
recommendations to the City Council from the community on all aspects of the
parks, recreation and golf programs of the City of Ukiah, including but not limited
to the recreation programs, classes, parks maintenance and improvements, new
park development, golf maintenance and improvements, new equipment
purchases, and budgets and overall priorities in those areas.
9. How do you believe your own skills, experience, expertise and perspectives will be
beneficial to the work of the Parks, Recreation and Golf Commission?
My experience as a youth utilizing the facilities and programs as well as
my perspective as a parent provide me with insight to the community's priorities
and goals for these programs. My education and work experience give me
insight and understanding of budgets, financial reports, grant applications and
reporting all of which help me understand the financial aspects of the Community
Services Department and City Council Budget Issues relating to the Parks,
Recreation and Golf Programs.
10. What do you believe is the single most important parks, recreation, and golf issue
facing our community? And why?
The single most important Parks, Recreation and Golf issue facing the
community is the aging of some of the facilities in the Parks, Recreation and Golf
areas. Finding funding to pay for renovation, improvement, ADA compliance, or
replacement if facilities such as the Pool at Todd Grove Park, or the Stadium at
Anton Stadium, or playground equipment at all parks when the economic
conditions are requiring cut backs in spending is and will continue to be very
challenging.
11. In your opinion what type or types of parks development or recreational and golf
programs should the City encourage?
The City should encourage programs that provide opportunities for
healthy, active, educational and community spirit programs for youth and
families. The youth and adult sports programs are an excellent way to
accomplish this. The Summer Concerts in the Park also provide excellent
opportunity to bring both youth and adults together in an event that enhances
community pride.
12. In your opinion what type or types of parks development or recreational and golf
programs should the City discourage?
The City should discourage Parks, Recreation and Golf programs that
have the potential to allow for possible gang activities or that benefit only a small
number of people in the community.
13. What kind of ideal community do you envision for Ukiah?
I envision a Ukiah where the youth feel that they have things to do that
they enjoy doing. I remember growing up here and feeling like there wasn't
anything fun to do here. I would like every child to have the opportunity to
access positive healthy fun things to do from a toddler to a teenager.
14. Are there any other City of Ukiah Committees/Commissions in which you are
interested and on which you would be willing to serve?
Not at this time. Thank you.

7. Why are you applying to serve on the City of Ukiah's Parks, Recreation, and Golf Commission?
I believe in involvement in my community and I believe in serving as an advocate toward having the best
community we can. I believe in providing opportunities for and promoting exercise for all persons according to
their ability.
8. What is your understanding of the purpose, role and responsibility of the Parks, Recreation and Golf
Commission? My understanding of the purpose, role and responsibility of the Parks, Recreation and Golf
Commission is that it serves in an advisory capacity to city staff in the development and operation of city parks,
golf course and recreational programs. Members of the Commission also provide a conduit between the city and
community members, as needed, toward the goal of meeting the needs of the community.
9. How do you believe your own skills, experience, expertise and perspectives will be beneficial to the
work of the Parks, Recreation and Golf Commission? I believe my professional experience as administrator
and manager of many non-profit organizations and programs, funding sources, and in resource development
will enhance the ability of the commission to attempt to balance the dynamics of providing needed community
recreational services and programs and the needs and abilities of the City of Ukiah. I also have served on other
commissions in other communities, such as for the City of Flagstaff, AZ.
10. What do you believe is the single most important parks, recreation, and golf issue facing our
community? And why? I believe a major issue facing the City of Ukiah and the Parks, Recreation and Golf
Commission is to have recreational services and programs that have the ability to be self-sustaining and at the
same time provide year-round services because revenue is down, useage is up and facilities must be maintained.
11. In your opinion what type or types of park development or recreational and golf programs should the
City encourage? As a runner and bicyclist, I believe there should be adequate and safe biking and walking
lanes throughout the city. I believe these type programs should be a partnership as much as possible with the

local business community and with the County of Mendocino. I think the most pressing issue is to continue the
existing programs that brings in revenue and at the same time complements the needs of the community.
12. In your opinion what type or types of parks development or recreational and golf programs should

13. What kind of ideal community do you envision for Ukiah? I envision a partnership with local businesses,
community members and city staff to encourage and develop parks, recreational services and programs.

AGENDA
SUMMARY
ITEM NO: 8b
MEETING DATE: July 7, 2004
REPORT
SUBJECT: UPDATE REGARDING REFINANCING OF $238 MILLION OF NCPA'S
HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT BONDS
At the NCPA Commission meeting on June 16, 2004, a resolution was voted on and passed to
execute documents necessary to proceed towards a refunding of Hydroelectric bonds issued
in 1998. This resolution is attached for Council's information. The refunding follows similar
Hydroelectric project refundings done in 2002 and 2003 and is again being undertaken to
reduce the participant's cost of borrowing.
This transaction is different than the prior transactions in that it includes an Acquisition
Agreement. The Acquisition Agreement is necessary since NCPA has no ability to call in the
bonds to be refunded. It must buy them back from the current bond holders. Citigroup will buy
them for NCPA but wants to be repaid by NCPA--hence the Acquisition Agreement.
The bonds NCPA is attempting to buy have interest rates of 5.00% to 5.20%. Based on
interest rates on June 14th, a synthetic fixed true interest cost of 4.25% will typically yield a Net
Present Value (NPV) in excess of the 7.00% target.
The City of Ukiah has a 2.04% Project Share. This transaction can equate to an average
annual savings of approximately $9,900. The overall total savings is estimated at $276,379
thru 2032.
Based on an approved recommendation during the Commission meeting, NCPA will now move
forward to buy the bonds and lock in the fixed swap interest rate to avoid loss of expected
savings due to interest fluctuations or sale of the existing bonds.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive and discuss update.

SUBJECT:
The NCPA Commission
Hydroelectric Project Bond Refunding Documents
Attached for NCPA Commission approval is a resolution authorizing the NCPA Commission
Chairman or the NCPA General Manager to execute certain documents necessary to proceed now
towards a refunding of Hydroelectric bonds issued in 1998.
At least one other resolution, authorizing other documents, will need to be approved by the NCPA
Commission when such documents have been prepared. This is expected to take at least one more
month.
The documents necessary to be executed now are:
1. Acquisition Agreement
2. Swap Agreements
3. and the Insurance Agreement
Attached to this Staff report are the Resolution, two forms of the Acquisition Agreement and the
Insurance Agreement. The Swap Agreements are voluminous and therefore are not attached. They
are similar in form to such agreements previously entered into with Citigroup in a prior transaction.
If you would like a copy, please contact Maggy Mini at magg¥.mini @ncpa.com.
This refunding follows similar Hydroelectric project refundings done in 2002 and 2003. As always
the objective is to reduce the project participant's cost of borrowing. The NCPA Finance
Committee has set a target on expected savings of at least 7% when calculated on a NPV (Net
Present Value) basis. Like the transactions of 2002 and 2003, the plan is to issue variable rate debt
and swap that to a fixed rate. The NCPA Finance Committee, staff and our financial advisor PFM
have screened a number of refunding options. The Finance Committee believes the chosen option
best meets the needs of the project participants, considering financial objectives and risk
management objectives.
This transaction is different than the prior transactions in that it includes an Acquisition Agreement.
The Acquisition Agreement is necessary since NCPA has no ability to call in the bonds to be
refunded. We must buy them back from the current bond holders. Citigroup will buy them for
NCPA but wants to be repaid by NCPA - hence the Acquisition Agreement.

transaction. We are fortunate that many of the project participant's are represented on the Finance
Committee - Alameda, Lodi, Roseville, Silicon Valley Power, and Palo Alto.
At the NCPA Commission meeting we will give an update on the expected NPV savings, which
change daily depending on interest rate movements. The bonds we are attempting to buy have
interest rates of 5.00% to 5.20%. At interest rates on June 14th, we expect a synthetic fixed true
interest cost of 4.25% and yielding NPV savings considerable in excess of the 7% target.
We cannot say with certainty how many of the $223 million of targeted bonds we will be able to
buy. But assuming we are able to buy $100 million, the net present value savings would be in
excess of $7 million dollars. Each project participant would achieve their prorata share of the
savings.
The Hydroelectric Project participants and their share of the project are given below. Note that
Biggs and Gridley have transferred their share of the project to Silicon Valley Power and no longer
are financially involved in the project but are still considered project participants by bond holders.

The documents that we will bring to you later (expected in 1 - 3 months) for authorization to
execute are:
- the Official Statement,
- the Bond Purchase Contract, and
- the Remarketing Agreements.
When that is approved, we can sell the refunding bonds and pay back Citigroup for their purchase
of the bonds: the purchase you are authorizing today by the Acquisition Agreement.

Project participant's who would prefer to pay cash rather than refund bonds will. be able to do this.
As in past refundings, this will require approval by governing boards.
We are recommending moving forward to buy the bonds now and lock in the fixed swap interest
rate now since we are concerned that future interest rate movements or the sale of bonds by the
primary bond holders may adversely affect the expected savings of the transaction.

SUMMARY
ITEM NO: 8¢
MEETING DATE: July 7, 2004
REPORT
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
POWER AGENCY (NCPA) TO APPLY PAYMENTS DUE FROM PG&E
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is demanding payment of alleged and
disputed charges for alleged services under a tariff referred to as Scheduling and Coordination
Services (SCS). Currently the tariff is the subject of proceedings with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC). Cities such as Ukiah, as a member of the Northern
California Power Agency (NCPA), believe the SCS tariff is not just and reasonable and dispute
the demand by PG&E.
The PG&E claim, if paid, will divert needed public finances to pay PG&E for an alleqed
claim it never expected to pass on to NCPA with the onset of derequlation. At the same time,
PG&E has a number of outstanding financial obligations with NCPA that arose before the
PG&E bankruptcy, continued thereafter, and which it has an unconditional obligation to pay
back to NCPA and its members.
Given the possibility any payment to PG&E for the alleged claim may not be repaid, it
would be unwise and imprudent to release public funds to PG&E's control without certain
enforceable assurances from PG&E for repayments.
To offset the payment uncertainties and risks, NCPA formed and approved an escrow
agreement with U.S. Bank and is requesting its members to pledge their interests in the PG&E
Obligations to that account.
Therefore, an approved Resolution by the City of Ukiah is being suggested by NCPA in
order that "all right, title, and interest in and to any payments that PG&E may make to NCPA
arising from the PG&E Obligations are hereby pledged and authorized to be applied as a set-
off against the alleged PG&E claim."
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution Authorizing NCPA to Apply Payments Due
From PG&E.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS: Do not approve Resolution, provide direction
to Staff.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES
The Public Utilities Department has identified significant improvements
that are necessary in both the wastewater and the water utilities. The
City Council received updates, reports and studies identifying the needs
for improvements and awarded a design contract for the wastewater
improvements. Funding of the costs of the improvements is a major
activity in and of its self. Staff believes the expert assistance of
professionals in the debt issuance field are not only a desirable
service, but also a mandatory service, to help assure the lowest
possible cost for acquiring money to pay for the identified projects.
Staff solicited proposals and met with three financial advisory firms.
Based on the meetings and the written proposals, staff recommends the
firm of Bartle Wells Associates as the firm that will best meet the
needs of the City of Ukiah.
Bartle Wells' proposal is a three part approach. The first phase is the
preparation of the financing plans for both wastewater and water. The
plan includes analysis of financing alternatives and rate reviews. The
second and third phases are for the procurement of financing for water
and wastewater. Mr. Douglas R. Dove, PE, CIPFA, a principal with the
firm, will be in charge of the contract.
Bartle Wells Associates proposes to perform Phase I services - Financial
Plan for Wastewater and Water - for a fee not to exceed $30,000
(including direct expenses). Services to procure funding for Water
projects are proposed at a fee of $30,000 plus direct reimbursable
expenses. Services to procure funding for Wastewater projects are
proposed at a fee of $40,000 plus direct reimbursable expenses. These
fees are equal to or lower than the fees proposed by the other firms.
Funds are budgeted in accounts 840.3850.250.000 and 611.7410.800.002.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the City Manager to sign an agreement with Bartle Wells
Associates not to exceed $100,000 plus reimbursable expenses as
outlined in the report.
ALTERNATE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
Provide alternate direction to staff.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CIVIC CENTER DORA STREET
FRONTAGE AND PLACEMENT OF PORTABLE FIRE APPARATUS COVERS AND
TEMPORARY STORAGE FOR FIRE EQUIPMENT
As previously directed by Council, staff is preparing to demolish the old bicycle evidence
storage building located on the Dora Street frontage of the Civic Center. However, once
the building is removed, the fire training area will be visually open to Dora Street with
unrestricted access to passersby. Staff is proposing to install a lathe fence and extensive
landscaping which will improve security as well as provide screening for Fire Department
equipment and training materials stored in the rear of the Civic Center. The landscape
area is proposed to be approximately 105 feet long and 20 feet deep, from the back of the
sidewalk. The area currently contains three full grown deciduous trees and staff is
proposing to add several evergreens in the landscape improvements to increase
screening. A site plan of the proposed improvements is attached.
(Continued on Pa,qe 2)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve proposed landscape improvements and placement of
fire apparatus covers and storage in the western portion of the Civic Center property.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
1. Determine approval of proposed improvements requires further consideration
and remand top staff with direction.
2. Determine approval of proposed improvements is inappropriate at this time and
do not move to approve.

APPROVAL OF IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CiViC CENTER DORA STREET FRONTAGE AND PLACEMENT OF
PORTABLE FIRE APPARATUS COVERS AND TEMPORARY STORAGE FOR FIRE EQUIPMENT
Page 2
July 7, 2004
With the sale of the North Fire Station it will be necessary to store several pieces of fire
apparatus in the fire training area at the rear of the Civic Center. As there is no covered storage
in this area the equipment is exposed to the elements, which will lead to deterioration. At the
May 5th meeting, Council approved the expenditure of $8,200 to purchase three portable vehicle
covers. The dimensions of the structures are 10 X 40 by 12 feet high. The Fire Department is
proposing to place them in the gravel area behind the new screening provided by the fence and
landscaping along Dora Street. The covers will be placed side by side and perpendicular to the
fence so that visibility from Dora Street will be minimal.
In addition to the apparatus covers the Fire Department is in need of additional secure storage
for training gear and materials and miscellaneous emergency response equipment. Staff is
proposing the placement of a 10 X20 prefabricated storage container in the area behind the
apparatus covers.
The removal of the existing, badly dilapidated building and installation of the proposed
improvements along the Civic Center Dora Street frontage will be a significant improvement from
existing conditions. The proposed fence and increased tree cover in the landscape strip will
significantly improve the visual quality along the street frontage. Due to space constrictions
within the existing apparatus bays it is necessary to store the fire equipment outside, which in
order to prevent further degradation and weather damage, requires cover and protection from
the elements. Staff believes the proposed improvements will provide the necessary protection
for the equipment while providing a significant visual improvement to the area and is therefore
recommending approval.
