of the trolley that was transporting attendees throughout the event.
Councilmember Mastin thanked Mr. Turner for all his work on the event.
Judy Pruden, 304 S. Hortense, noted she would like to see the trolley available during PumpkinFest.
She also advised that she would like the clock at the Alex R. Thomas, Jr. Plaza to remain facing the

scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
9a.
Discussion Reqardin,q Reconsideration of Demolition Permit Application for Structure Located
at 400 East Perkins Street
City Manager Horsley introduced Planning Director Bob Sawyer and Senior Planner Charley Stump.
Mr. Stump gave a brief history of this Demolition Permit Application and noted at Council's April 17
meeting, staff was asked to work with the parties involved to seek an alternative to demolition. At this
time no interested buyers, site, or reliable funding sources have been found to save the structure. Staff
recommends that Council determine the structure is no longer historically significant and approve the
demolition permit.
Judy Pruden, 304 S. Hortense, Chairman of Demolition Review Committee, advised that some positive
things have occurred over the last year and a half about designating this property as historical and it
shows the community that the City wants to restore our historical resources. She also thanked
everyone who looked for alternatives to save the structure and requested the owner continue to work
with anyone wanting to move the structure right up to the point of demolition. She noted there have
been a few last minute inquiries, but no permanent solution as of tonight.
David Ryan, 495 E. Perkins Street, speaking for property owner, Mr. Quan, said he appreciates Judy
Pruden's work to try to save the house and noted Mr. Quan is more than willing to postpone demolition
if there is a project available to salvage the house.
Mr. Bafia, owner of Sizzler Restaurant, 404 E. Perkins St., expressed concern over the delay relative
to cleaning up this property, as well as for the safety of his employees and the community. He
requested a speedy resolution so that he does not have to take further action for a remedy.
Jim Mayfield, representing the Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce, advised there was a unanimous
vote by the Chamber Board to recommend approval of the demolition permit. He noted there has been
significant effort to save the structure but it is now time to take action.
Mr. Rapport advised the building has historical value, but the question remains if it is historically
significant enough to warrant preservation when considering all the facts and circumstances. Council
has put forth extra efforts to find a way to preserve the structure, and must be careful not to infringe on
the property owner's rights.
It was noted the owner hopes to begin construction of a new facility in 1996, if the demolition permit is
approved.
Mayor Schneiter indicated he appreciates Mr. Bafia's concerns, and feels the circumstances justify
Council issuance of a demolition permit. Councilmember Wattenburger agreed.
Councilmember Malone advised he attended a meeting regarding the train depot site and noted it would
be a long time before any consideration could be made relative to the structure being moved to that site.
Discussion was had relative to the historic value of the structure, and the fact that not enough interest
has been expressed to further delay demolition.
Regular Meeting - May 15, 1996
Page 2
MIS Malone/Wattenburger that the structure at 400 East Perkins Street is not considered historically
or culturally significant, and thus a demolition permit shall be allowed, carried by the following roll call
vote: AYES: Councilmembers Mastin, Malone, VVattenburger, Shoemaker, and Mayor Schneiter.
NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None.
o
PUBLIC HEARING - 7:00 p.m.
Adoption of Resolution Adjusting Fire Prevention Fee Schedule
Ms. Horsley presented Operations Chief Sandelin and Fire Marshal Sprehn.
Mr. Sandelin explained the history of Fire Department fees, and the proposed new fees. He explained
Fire Marshal Roger Sprehn is the staff member who worked on the project and can answer Council's
questions.
Mr. Sprehn indicated he based the proposed fees on the time involved to accomplish each task. The
houdy rate increased from $30 per hour, to $50 per hour, which includes clerical, vehicle support, etc.
He drew attention to the analysis he performed of what other fire departments in Mendocino and Napa
counties are charging, and noted the City's current fees are either equal to or below most agencies.
He explained the public hearing noticing steps taken regarding this item.
Discussion followed relative to the methodology used in arriving at some of the fees, that some of the
fees will be lower, and the training levels needed to be able to perform plan checking services.
Public Hearing Opened - 7:19 p.m.
Al Beltrami, 145 Mendocino Place, read a letter, dated May 15, 1996, from Mendocino County
Employers Council into the record which noted a concern relative to a 66% increase over five years;
that general fund revenues should be used for public safety rather than a reliance on fees; if fees are
to be used for some public safety functions, they should be based on a reasonable basis related to
service provided, and not for revenue; that the charges for document reproduction are extremely high
and need to be justified; that there are three agencies dealing with tank regulations; and concern
relative there being any appeal fee. He requested the Council keep the fees at a level to cover
reasonable costs, do not add the new fee for the Fire Control Appeal Board, and investigate if better
coordination would make the fuel tank regulation process more efficient.
Public Hearing Closed - 7:27 p.m.
Councilmember Wattenburger questioned whether it is a state requirement that all three agencies deal
with the fuel tank regulations.
Mr. Sprehn advised the state is in the process of coordinating this into one agency per area, but at this
time the City's Fire Code requires a permit for removal, installation, modification, etc. for underground
tanks.
Discussion followed relative to coordinating efforts with regards to the fuel tanks; that the City currently
does not have any appeal fees because the Council does not want to make it difficult for a non-
developer to appeal a project; that the state is looking at requiring building inspectors to be licensed,
which may extend to fire personnel. There was additional discussion regarding whether there could be
only one fee for one inspector. It was noted both the building and fire divisions do work with many of
the same code books, however, fire, life, and safety issues are the Fire Department's role because they
are heavily trained around fire safety.
Ms. Horsley noted staff is currently looking at the permit process, and will investigate the coordination
issues.
Mr. Sandelin noted other agencies which tried to combine the two inspection functions developed
specialist in fire, life safety, and hazardous materials.
Mayor Schneiter indicated he supports all the proposed fees, except a fee for appeals.
Mr. Wattenburger noted he would prefer to see smaller increases proposed more often.
Mr. Rapport noted it is required that the proposed fees reflect the cost for providing the service, and Mr.
Sprehn has based his fees accordingly.
Ms. Horsley advised that staff is trying to bring all City fees up to date. She further advised that staff
has no strong feelings about the appeal hearing fee, it was brought forward because of the high cost
of their first appeal hearing.
M/S VVattenburger/Mastin to adopt Resolution No. 96-65, Adjusting Fire Prevention Fee Schedule, with
the deletion of the Fire Code Board of Appeal fee, carried by the following roll call vote: AYES:
Regular Meeting - May 15, 1996

Councilmembers Mastin, Malone, Wattenburger, Shoemaker, and Mayor Schneiter. NOES: None.
ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None.
8b.
Adoption of Resolution Approving Lease and Sub-Lease Agreements to Refinance Greater
Ukiah Senior Center Offices
Mr. Rapport reported that the Senior Citizen Center has found an excellent financing mechanism, saving
2% per year, for their buildings. This will provide them with a lower monthly cost as well as providing
additional funds. The proper public notice was given and the resolution authorizes the City Manager
or Mayor to sign the necessary documents. He noted the City is basically facilitating this financing and
the lender is obligated to look exclusively at the Senior Center in case of default. The lender is one of
the current lenders and it wants to take on the entire mortgage at this time.
Public Hearing Opened - 7:49 p.m.
Terr Willis, Executive Director of Senior Center, advised Coundl that the Senior Center Board approved
the financing package. She added that it will save the seniors a lot of money, will not cost the City
anything, and requested the Council adopt the resolution.
Public Hearing Closed - 7:50 p.m.
MIS Malone/Shoemaker to adopt Resolution No. 96-66 Approving the Lease-Purchase Agreement and
Sublease Purchase Agreement to Refinance the Acquisition of Buildings for the Greater Ukiah Senior
Center, Inc., carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Mastin, Malone,
Wattenburger, Shoemaker, and Mayor Schneiter. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None.

NEW BUSINESS
Selection of Alternate Board Member to the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund
(REMIF)
Ms. Horsley advised an altemate Board member must be appointed to the REMIF Board, since she was
the alternate prior to taking the position of City Manager. She recommended she be designated the
Board member, and that Michael Harris, Assistant City Manager, be appointed as the alternate. She
advised there is valuable training associated with the appointment of Mr. Harris.
MIS Shoemaker/Malone to appoint Candace Horsley the REMIF Board member and Michael Harris the
altemate, carded by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Mastin, Malone, Wattenburger,
Shoemaker, and Mayor Schneiter. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None.
10b. Discussion Regarding City Treasurer Position and Appointment of Interim City Treasurer
Ms. Horsley explained that the City Council appointed Treasurer, Patrick Coyne, has moved out of the
City limits and under Government Code Section 36502 is no longer eligible to serve as the City of Ukiah
Treasurer. She explained the two actions of Council this evening are to appoint a Treasurer to fill the
vacancy until the November election, and authorize a strategy for investment services. The Treasurer
appointment can be filled by a member of public, staff, or a Councilmember as long as the appointee
is a City resident. If the Council decides to appoint a Councilmember, they can do so tonight or direct
staff to do a recruitment. Staff also recommends that the appointed Treasurer be the Chair of the
oversight committee, which will be considered by the Council in the June meeting. The City's
investments should be managed by an investment advisor. Patrick Coyne has proactively provided the
City with investment services since his appointment and he has offered to continue to do so on a
consultant basis for $2,083.33 per month, but only if his contract is through February 1997. Attached
to the report is the proposed professional services contract and a comparison chart of the portfolio,
which reflect the portfolio's increases. She explained other alternatives for Council include hiring an
investment advisor on a month-to-month basis until an investment advisor is selected through the RFP
process, or contract with an advisor until the November election, when a new Treasurer will be elected.
Mayor Schneiter requested Council's input on the professional services contract.
Commissioner Malone indicated the City has a process in place that if a contract amount exceeds
$5,000 we must go out to bid. He also would like to check whether it is appropriate for a departing
elected official to immediately solicit consulting services from the City. Additionally, he feels that the
City Treasurer and City Clerk are not generally spokespeople for the City, and does not appreciate the
characterizations stated about how the City does business and noted his interest is in severing this
relationship at this point.
Mr. Wattenburger noted his preference would be to hire an investment advisor on a month-to-month
basis, with personal input on an overlap basis until an investment advisor is selected through the RFP
process. He feels the continuity is important.
Mr. Coyne advised the City still has $6 million in derivatives that need to be dealt with, and there are
Regular Meeting - May 15, 1996
Page 4
another $7 million that should be better diversified to have the opportunity to earn another 1%. He
explained he has taken the treasurer's office from a non-computerized treasury office to a fully
computerized office generating all the appropriate cash flow and performance reports.
Mr. Shoemaker noted that on a technical basis, Mr. Coyne has done an excellent job and it is
unfortunate that the political realm has entered into the position, and that the high level of
professionalism did not occur that is necessary with the position.
A motion by Wattenburger to enter into a professional services contract as outlined in the staff report,
died for lack of a second.
MIS WattenburgedSchneiter to enter into a professional services contract with Coyne and Associates
as an investment advisor on a month-to-month basis until a permanent investment advisor is selected
through an RFP process. Councilmember Wattenburger and Mayor Schneiter withdrew their motion.
M/S Wattenburger/Schneiter to approve the proposed contract with Patrick Coyne as originally
proposed, failed by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmembers Wattenburger and Mayor
Schneiter. NOES: Councilmembers Mastin, Malone, and Shoemaker. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT:
None.
Mayor Schneiter noted motion failed three to two. He further advised there are other companies that
have indicated a willingness to work on a month-to-month basis.
M/S Malone/Mastin to instruct City Manager to pursue a month-to-month basis contract for managing
the City's portfolio, carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmember Mastin, Malone,
Wattenburger, Shoemaker, and Mayor Schneiter. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None.
Mr. Rapport indicated if there is an immediate need, and not enough time to go out for an RFP, Council
is not required to go through the formal bidding process, especially on a month-to-month basis.
Ms. Horsley explained there is an RFP for investment services being prepared.
Mr. Rapport noted there is an immediate need for portfolio management until the RFP is completed.
MIS Wattenburger/Shoemaker to appoint Mayor Fred Schneiter to fill the remainder of the term of the
City Treasurer effective May 15, 1996, carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: Councilmember
Mastin, Malone, Wattenburger, Shoemaker, and Mayor Schneiter. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None.
ABSENT: None.
Mayor Schneiter advised signature cards and other documents will need to be completed immediately.
Recess: 8:19 p.m.
Reconvened - 8:25 p.m.
10e. Discussion of City/Chamber of Commerce Activities
Since individuals in the audience were in attendance for the Chamber of Commerce item, Mayor
Schneiter moved consideration of item 10e to this time.
John Bogner, Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce Board Chair, explained the Chamber's philosophy
and activities.
Jim Mayfield, Chamber of Commerce Board member, noted the City has been a key member of the
Chamber through funding, and the Chamber is discussing with its members what they would like to see
the Chamber do for the citizens of Ukiah. He explained some of the things the Chamber participates
in including economic development activities, development of the railroad center, the Fourth of July
Celebration, and PumpkinFest. He asked what direction the City would like to see the Chamber take
in the future.
Mayor Schneiter explained the City's history with the Chamber the 10 years he has been on the Council.
Discussion followed relative to the Chamber recruiting a new Director with the intent to have the position
filled by mid to late June. They are looking for a combination of high energy and marketing ability. They
anticipate focusing on fewer projects and doing those projects well, rather than spreading their
resources too thin over too many projects.
Mr. Malone noted toudst activities create an enormous drain on Chamber staff, and they are attempting
to get more local tourist-type businesses involved in the Chamber.
Mayor Schneiter advised he would like to see some kind of promotion that addresses the City's facilities
and events.
Regular Meeting - May 15, 1996
Page 5
Discussion followed relative to a change in philosophy of the Chamber and what it would be like to not
have a Chamber of Commerce in the community.
Mr. Shoemaker noted some type of summer parade would be nice, and suggested the Chamber not
duplicate services other agencies are providing.
Discussion was had relative to the need for the Chamber to be open on Saturdays and the need to
create a volunteer network. Activities surrounding the train depot were discussed further, and it was
noted that it has been beneficial for the Board to not have a Director because there is now a level of
awareness that was not present before.
Monte Hill, 1308 W. Clay Street, explained the fireworks is a very expensive event and the Chamber
is very thankful to get the sponsors involved, however, even the sponsorships did not entirely cover the
event last year and requested special consideration for this program.
Discussion followed relative to the Chamber taking the information received from Council to the Board
and that they will return for further discussions.
10c. Introduction of Ordinance Amendinq Section 3704.6 of the Ukiah City Code, Sewer Re.qulation~
Public Utilities Director Barnes advised staff is proposing an amendment to City Code section 3704.6
dealing with sewer laterals that are lower than grade. Currently the code requires that any sewer
laterals that must be pumped into the City system must utilize a manhole. Staff believes this current
code is too restrictive and there are many instances where it is not required. The code should be

Mr. Malone made a motion to accept the resignation letter, without the medical leave statement.
Mr. Rapport explained he does not agree that the City Clerk has a right to take sick leave so Council
can accept the letter to the extent that it states she is resigning and the effective date.
Mayor Schneiter noted elected officials do not receive sick leave, and questioned whether there is any
exposure by accepting the letter as written.
Mr. Rapport indicated there is not.
Mr. Malone withdrew his motion, as he did not want to give credence to the medical leave statement.

11. CITY COUNCIL/REPORT.~
Mr. Mastin indicated it was nice to see almost 200 people enjoying Ukiah while attending the CalACT
Conference. He also advised he may be late to the June 5 meeting, as he has a tentative meeting of
EDFC in Point Arena that day.
Mr. Malone stated there will be a Scoutarama on the front lawn of the Civic Center this Saturday and
next Friday, May 24, Main Street is having their annual wine tasting event. He advised he had been
appointed to the Board of the North Coast Rail Authority, and this appointment creates a conflict with
his SunHouse Guild appointment, as they are on the same day. He advised on June 14, 15, and 16
there will be an excursion ribbon cutting on the rail line. It will stop in Ukiah on Sunday, June 16, and
Council will be receiving invitations for a ride.
Mr. Wattenburger advised he attended the LAFCO meeting. They approved a resolution to increase
the size of LAFCO by two members, one to represent the coastal zone and one from the inland zone.
Also, next year's contract with Executive Director is going out to bid, which is being drafted by the
LAFCO sub-committee members. The last issue was a discussion on the Eel River. He advised he
also will be late to both June meetings due to scheduling conflicts.
Mr. Shoemaker expressed his hope that the two Councilmembers who will be at the City after
November are paying attention to the valuable information coming out of the League of California Cities.
He noted he and his children took a ride on the trolley during the CalACT Conference. Further, the
Hazmobile of MSWMA is a great success in this valley, Lake county, and on the coast. It will be
advertised in the paper, or you can call the recycling hotline for dates and locations. He reported
MCOG met, as well as MSWMA. MSWMA tried to take the last step to buy the property, but did not;
they will meet on May 23 to finalize the finance package.
Mayor Schneiter noted the ad-hoc committee for the Inland Water and Power Commission met and the
current four members representing the Russian River Flood Control District, Potter Valley, Mendocino
County Water Agency, and the City of Ukiah, were in attendance. The County suggested they have a
floating fifth member until Redwood Valley joined at a later time. The four members preferred an at-
large fifth member appointed by the members, as opposed to a fifth member appointed by the Board
of Supervisors. The next meeting is May 23. The sub-committee may provide the next draft for
Council's review.
12. CITY MANAGER/DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS
Ms. Horsley advised Don Denham's retirement party is taking place Friday night. There is also the
opening reception at the Oakland Museum for the "Remember Your Relations" exhibit. The SunHouse
Director will represent the City.
She also advised the City received a letter from Mike Scannell regarding the Fifth Annual Economic
Development Institute, and she distributed "rsvp" information to Council.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Award Bid for One 1000 KVA Transformer to Western States Electric in the Amount of
$14,797.28.
A Request for Quotation ( RFQ ) for one 1000 KVA transformer was written to purchase equipment
for underground construction and maintenance.
The City sent an RFQ to 14 vendors and 5 bids were received and opened on May 14, 1996, at 2:00
p.m. Each bid was evaluated using an equivalent cost of ownership formula as stated in the
specifications. This formula calculates the transformer energy losses based on the no-load and load
watt losses quoted by the vendor. The formula adjusts the vendor's bid to the actual cost of the unit
over its projected life. This means that although there may be a lower bid, the cost of these losses
over the life of the transformer makes the cost of ownership higher than a transformer with a higher
bid. The Equivalent Cost of Ownership Summary Sheet ranks the units in descending order based
on the Equivalent Cost of Ownership.
The evaluated Iow equivalent cost bidder for the unit is Western States Electric at $14,797.28.
Bids include total tax and delivery. The funds to purchase this transformer are budgeted and
approved for Fiscal Year 1995/96 in Account No. 800-3642-420.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Award bid for one 1,000 KVA transformer to Western States Electric in
the amount of $14,797.28.

REPORT
SUBJECT:
ADOPT RESOLUTION ADOPTING SCHEDULE OF FEES AND RATES FOR
GARBAGE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION SERVICE
The City's franchise agreement with Solid Wastes Systems, Inc. for the collection, transportation
and disposal of garbage, refuse, and rubbish, and recycling of recyclable materials within the
City of Ukiah, states that an annual adjustment will be made to the garbage and recycling
collection rates using an automatic annual rate adjustment based on 75 % of the change in the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics, Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), U.S. Cities
Average, March to March.
The increase in the Consumer Price Index from March 1995 to March 1996 was 2.8 %, creating
a base increase in garbage rates of 2.1% to this figure. A .46% increase is added to cover the
increased franchise and billing charges Solid Wastes Systems, Inc. will incur with the increase
in gross revenue.
CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution setting forth the Schedule of Fees and Rates
for Garbage and Recycling Collection Service for the 1996/97 fiscal year.

Rates should be increased to reflect a CPI adjustment of 2.56% for March 1995 to March 1996,
and decreased by the 2.61% "temporary" surcharge established and made effective by the City
Council on December 1, 1995, for the purpose of compensating Solid Wastes Systems for its
annual CPI adjustment for the first six months (July-December, 1995). Since the difference
between the current CPI adjustment due and the temporary surcharge to be eliminated effective
July 1, 1996 is very small (.05 % - five hundredth of a percent), staff recommends that no rate
adjustment be made to the garbage and recycling collection rates for the 1996/97 fiscal year.
Based on a gross revenue amount of $1,742,053 a five hundredth of a percent difference would
represent $871.00 in additional revenue beyond that of the CPI adjustment. A five hundredth of
a percent difference applied to the lowest and highest residential collection rates of $3.04 (1-20
gallon can) and $89.98 (4-30 gallon cans - remote service area) would equate to a difference of
$0.0015 and $0.046 in the respective rates currently charged. Refer to Attachment 3 for the
Garbage Rate Calculation Comparison for 1996. Attachment 4 identifies the new rates should
the .05 % deduction be made from the current rate.
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution which eliminates the 2.61% temporary surcharge
and identifies the annual CPI adjustment for the period March 1995 to March 1996. As noted
above there will be no actual increase in the rates. Ukiah Solid Wastes has been contacted by
Staff regarding the recommendation contained herein, and Mr. McCracken acknowledged an
understanding of Staff's recommendation.

Ukiah, CA 95482
Dear Sue,
Item number four of our contract to collect, transport and dispose of
garbage, refuse, and rubbish, and recycling of recyclable materials
allows for an annual cost of living adjustment. This adjustment is
equivalent to 75% of the percentage change from the previous year in
the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics, Consumer price
index, U.S. City Average, March to March.
Therefore, Solid Wastes Systems formally requests an adjustment in
collection rates to reflect 75% of the "CPI" change which is
equivalent to 2.1%, on 3uly 1, 1996.
Additionally, the City in 1995 agreed to calculate the requested
adjustment in such a way as to allow Solid Wastes Systems the ability
to realize the full percentage change. The City will adjust the
percentage change to reflect the franchise fee.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.

CLAIM AGAINST A PUBLIC ENTITY
TO: City of Ukiah
300 Seminary Avenue
Ukiah, CA 95482
·
RICHARD HOWARD hereby amends his claim of March 8, 1996, and
makes claim against the City of Ukiah, its employees, officers,
agents, and assigns, for a continuing and ongoing loss as
described below. Claimant's is currently able to compute his
losses to December 31, 1995, which total $41.312. Claimant makes
the following statements in support of the claim:
1. Claimant's address is:
295 N. Main Street
Ukiah, CA 95482
2. Notices concerning the claim should be sent to the
claimant at the offices of Mason & Morrison, 104 N. School
Street, Ukiah, California 95482.
3. The date and place of the occurrence giving rise to the
claim are:
Claimant is the owner of a business known as Howard
Cleaners, located at 295 North Main Street, Ukiah, California.
This is a continuing loss caused by a leaking roof during the
rainstorms of December 1994 through and including December 1995.
Claimant leases his building from the City of Ukiah. Pursuant to
this lease agreement, the City was, and is, required to maintain
the structure in a safe and habitable condition.
Claimant claims losses for damage incurred during and as a
result of each rainstorm from December 1, 1994, through and
including December 31, 1995. Said rainstorms are documented in
the Record of Climatological Observations compiled by the Federal
Aviation Administration at Ukiah Airport, Ukiah, California,
which records for the time period described above are attached
hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference.
4. The circumstances giving rise to this claim are as
follows:
Claimant contends that the City of Ukiah was negligent in
maintaining the structure known as 295 North Main Street, Ukiah,
California, and allowed the building to deteriorate to such a
condition that the damage from rainstorms of December 1, 1994,
through December 31, 1995, inclusive, have dramatically impacted
on the ability of Howard Cleaners to do business. Large pieces
of the ceiling have fallen, causing damage to equipment. The
deterioration of the roof and ceiling has allowed for significant
water damage to equipment necessary to the business, as well as
loss of business, loss of the use of a portion of the building,
and damage to customers' belongings.
5. Claimant contends that he is suffering a continuing
loss, which losses he is currently able to compute through
December 31, 1995, and totals $41,392. These losses include
claims for lost machinery, lost business, lost workplace
material, and loss of use of portions of the building. The total
amount of the above claim shall be provided to the City when
available.
6. The name of the public employee or employees on duty or
present at the time of claimant's losses is unknown to claimant.
7. All of these conditions were known or should have been
known to the City of Ukiah in that this has been a recurring
problem, and the City paid a partial claim to Claimant's insured
for minor damages incurred during the winter of 1994. The City
was aware of the temporary nature of their repair at that time,
as well as the deteriorating condition of the roof. The
conditions dramatically worsened, resulting in the aforementioned
losses, which as of December 31, 1995 total $41,392.
8. As stated above, Claimant contends that this is a
continual loss and as such, no final dollar amount has been
determined as yet. Losses to date are computed as follows:
Repair of Equipment:
Claimant requested repair estimates from the two business
known to him to offer the needed repair services. Claimant
received responsive estimates from one:
Executive Services (laundry and dry cleaning
rebuilders)
3500 Tacheva Drive, Suite C
Palm Springs, CA 92262
800-842-9661
Claimant claims damage to 15 separate machines for a total
loss of $24,820, plus $2,000 travel time, for a total loss of
$26,820. These amounts are to install rebuilt machines and take
claimant's damaged ones in exchange, which claimant is advised
would be cheaper than repairing his machines in place. An
itemized list of the damaged machines and the amount estimated
for their replacement is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and
incorporated herein by reference.
Loss of Business:
Claimant has lost business as a result of the dilapidated
appearance of the building resulting from the leaking roof and
resulting damage, which dilapidated appearance is evidenced by a
piece of plywood nailed over a window that from the outside makes
the building look deserted and a general air of neglect and
disrepair inside the building from water stains, the removal of
carpets and, at times, very slow repair work in progress.
Claimant estimates his loss of business for the year 1995 as
follows:
Claimant's income tax records for 1990 through 1993,
before claimant began to suffer a loss from the damage
caused by the leaking roof, show an average of $95,707 in
business annually. Claimant's total business for 1995 was
$82,295, a loss of $13,412 from his average for the pre-
damage period of 1990-1993.
Loss of Use of the Building:
Claimant contends that approximately 25-30 per cent of the
building is unusable due to the leaking roof and the resulting
damage therefrom. Claimant pays rent of $360 per month.
Computing 25 per cent of $360 per month for 13 months from
December 1, 1994, through December 31, 1995, comes to a loss of
use of the building of $1,160.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCIDENT OR OCCURRENCE (Attach additional pages if more
space is needed): At approximately 10:30 pm on December 26, 1995, a fire broke out at the
residence located at 670 Sidnie Street, Ukiah, California 95482. The cause of the fire is still under
investigation, but due to the fact the local City owned utility had turned off the power to the residence
it is known that the family was using candles for light and heat. Four children perished in that fire, all
of whom were the natural siblings of the claimant, Ashley Nicole Clark.
At the time the children were removed from the house by the responding emergency personnel, at
least two of Claimant's siblings were still alive, but due to a variety of critical mistakes, among which
were insufficient personnel on scene to handle said emergency, and the fact that those emergency
medical personnel who were on scene were insufficiently trained to handle said emergency, those
living children had no chance of being resuscitated. This lack of response, personnel and training
directly contributed to the four children failing to receive proper treatment at the scene, and
ultimately to their deaths.
.
NAMES, IF KNOWN, OF ANY PUBLIC EMPLOYEES CAUSING THE INJURY OF LOSS: Unknown
at this time, but they most certainly include certain employees at the City owned utility company, the
City of Ukiah Ambulance, Ukiah Valley Hospital and perhaps other individuals who are as yet
undiscovered, but whose names will surface during the discovery phase of the impending lawsuit, and
whose names are readily~ known and available to the City of Ukiah, but which are at this time
unavailable to the Claimant.

REPORT
SUBJECT:
INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING THE AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL
PARK PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY: On April 17, 1996, the City Council unanimously voted to introduce an ordinance
amending the Airport Industrial Park (ALP) Planned Development. In taking this action, the
Council specifically deleted the proposed text describing the Circulation Plan for the AlP, as well
as the proposed Circulation Map illustrating the AlP stroet system. Staff was directed to rovise
the Circulation Plan language to "preserve" the concept of a southern access route, and
eventually bring it back to the Council in the form of another proposed amendment to the
ordinance.
Staff prepared the following draft language pursuant to the Council's direction, and presented
it to the Planning Commission on May 8, 1996:
"The southern access road concept, as envisioned in the original Specific Plan for the
Airport Industrial Park is retained as a concept only. The need for this roadway, and its
exact design and routing is neither implied nor specifically assumed."
(continued on page 2)
NOTE: This project is quasi-legislative in nature and does not require City Council
members to visit the site prior to action on the project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce by title only staff's proposed wording of the ordinance
amending the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS: Do not introduce the ordinance and provide
direction to staff.
Citizen Advised: None
Requested by: Planning Department
Prepared by: Charley Stump, Senior Planner~'~
Coordinated with: Candace Horsley, City Manager; and Bob Sawyer, Planning Director

1. Ordinance amending the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development
2. Planning Commission Staff Report, dated May 8, 1996
3. Planning Commission Minutes, May 8, 1996
Cand~ce Horsley, City~vlanager
After considerable discussion, the Planning Commission voted 3-2 to recommend the following
language:
"The southern access road concept, as envisioned in the original Specific Plan for the
Airport Industrial Park, is retained. The roadway's exact design and routing is neither
implied nor specific."
Staff is basically indifferent to which version is most appropriate, because both versions
"preserve" the southern access concept. However, it appears that staff's version is more
consistent with the direction provided by the City Council on April 17, 1996.
Additionally, the commission voted unanimously to recommend City Council adoption of the
following two additional amendments related to the Circulation Plan text:
a. Add a sentence to page 2 of the ordinance referencing the new text discussion
concerning the AlP Circulation Plan and Circulation Map. This is considered a minor
amendment constituting the reference of information, rather than a development standard,
specific requirement, or design guideline.
b. Add a Circulation Map, identified as Exhibit "B," to illustrate the circulation plan discussion
contained in the text. Also to clearly depict both the Airport Business Park and Redwood
Business Park on the map.
Staff supports the Planning Commission's recommendation to distinguish both business parks
on the map. Both "a" and "b" are included in the proposed ordinance.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
AMENDING THE AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL PARK PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
The City Council of the City of Ukiah hereby ordains as follows:
Section One
The purpose of this amendment to the Airport Industrial Park (ALP) Planned Development
Ordinance is to provide for a coordinated development of compatible industrial, office, and
commercial land uses. It details both allowed and permitted uses within each land use category,
regulates nuisances, and provides development standards and design guidelines. It changes
the land use designation terminology using clearer more concise terms to more accurately
characterize existing development, and provide well-defined land use categories for future
development in the Airport Industrial Park. The changes to land use designations are as follows:
1) Office Commercial to Professional Offices; 2) Industrial/Commercial to Retail
Commercial; 3) Highway Oriented Commercial/General Commercial to Highway Oriented
Commercial. No change to the Industrial designation term has been made.
Section Two
This ordinance also formally amends the Land Use Map that illustrates which
land uses designations are assigned to the various properties throughout the Airport Industrial
Park. The land use designations apply to the Airport Industrial Park in the following
manner:
1. Professional Office: Applies to the northeast portion of the site, bounded by
Talmage Road on the north, Airport Park Boulevard on the east, and Commerce
Drive on the south (approximately 8 acres).
2. Highway Commercial: Applies only to the northeastern portion of the site,
bounded by Talmage Road to the north, Airport Park Boulevard to the west,

Highway 101 to the east, and the existing large commercial retail store property
to the south (approximately 1.4 acres).
3, Retail Commercial: Applies to 14.83 acres north of Commerce Drive, and
approximately 22 acres south of Commerce Drive, bounded by Airport Park
Boulevard on the west, and Highway 101 on the east approximately
(approximately 36.83 acres).
4. Industrial: Applies to the remainder of the Airport Industrial Park (approximately
77.4 acres).
Section Three
The Airport Industrial Park Planned Development was originally approved by City Council
Resolution No. 81-59 on March 3, 1981, embodied in Use Permit No. 81-39. It was amended
and further articulated in 1991 when the City Council adopted Resolution No. 91-4. In 1993, the
City Council amended the ordinance to allow "General Commercial" in addition to the approved
"Highway Oriented Commercial" land uses in the area bounded by Talmage Road on the north,
Highway 101 on the east, Commerce Drive on the south, and Airport Park Boulevard on the
west.
Section Four
Airport Industrial Park Planned Development, as amended herein, provides a mixture of
industrial, commercial, and office land uses within a Planned Development (PD), consistent with

Airport Industrial Park Planned Development Ordinance Amendment
City of Ukiah
PROJECT SUMMARY: The Planned Development (PD) Ordinance for the Airport
Industrial Park (AiP) is the adopted zoning that regulates growth and development within
this 138 acre area. It is a zoning tool that is intended to coordinate and ensure
compatible commercial, industrial and office development.
On May 1, 1996, the City Council formally adopted an amended ordinance for the AlP.
The amendments were reviewed and recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission on March 27, 1996. In taking their action, the Council specifically did not
include the Circulation Plan text or the Circulation Map, because they wanted staff to
add additional language to "preserve" the concept of a southern access.
Staff has prepared this language for the Planning Commission's review prior to
introducing the language in the form of another ordinance amendment to the City
Council. The language is presented and discussed in the Analysis section below.
in addition, the Circulation Map has been revised to show the southern access road as
a potential future roadway. Also, staff is again proposing to add new language to page
2 of the Ordinance, referencing the new'text discussion concerning the AlP circulation
plan and Circulation Map.
This project is quasi-legislative in nature and does not require City Planning
Commission to visit the site prior to formulating a recommendation to the City
Council. _ .-.
· . o
PROJECT LOCATION: The Airport Industrial Park (ALP) is located in the southern part
of the City of Ukiah. It is approximately 1,350 feet wide at its northern end tapering to
a point where the railroad tracks and Highway 101 intersect about 6,500 feet south of
Talmage Road. It is bounded by the California Northern Railroad to the west, Highway
101 to the east, and Talmage Road to the north.
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION: The Planning: Department recommends that the
Planning Commission recommend APPROVAL of the proposed amendments to the City
Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION: The City of Ukiah as Lead Agency certified an
Environmental Impact Report for the buiidout of the Airport Industrial Park according to
specific development assumptions and projections. Staff's proposed Ordinance
amendments do not invalidate the certified EIR, because they do not increase buiidout
projections or change buildout assumptions, nor do they significantly affect the analysis
or conclusions regarding traffic and circulation, or other topics discussed in the
documen.t. Additionally, staff's-proposed amendments do not introduce new
environmental impacts not anticipated or evaluated in the EIR. ~
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION' Airport Industrial Park Master Plan Area
ZONING DISTRICT: PD (Airport Industrial Park Planned Development)
·
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Staff is proposing to amend the existing Airport Industrial
Park (ALP) Planned Development Ordinance by added text describing the Circulation
Plan for the AlP and adding a Circulation Plan Map to illustrate the text.
STAFF ANALYSIS: To assist the Planning Commission with discussing and formulating
a recommendation to the City Council concerning the proposed amendments to the AlP
Planned Development Ordinance, staff has prepared the following analysis:
Amendment No. 1: On page 2 of the Ordinance, staff is proposing to add a sentence
referencing the new text discussion concerning the AlP circulation plan and Circulation
Map. This is considered a minor amendment constituting the reference of information,
rather than a development standard, specific requirement, or design guideline.
Amendment No. 2: On page 16, staff is proposing to add language describing the
Circulation Plan for the AlP. The previous Ordinance did not include any language
describing the Circulation Plan, and we have concluded that it needs to be described for
the benefit of decision makers, staff, land owners, and future developers. Within the
-text, the southern access road, shown on the original Specific Plan, and required as
mitigation in the EIR when the AlP reaches fifty percent buildout, has been described as
a future possibility that is not regarded at this time as critical for public safety of traffic
circulation, but could become important in the future depending on the actual types of
future development projects within the AlP. , ..
The proposed new language "preserving" 'the southern access road concept reads as
follows:
"The southern access road concept, as envi'~;ioned in the 'original Specific Plan for
the Airport Industrial Park is retained as .a concept only. The need for this
roadway, and its exact design and routing is neither implied nor specifically
assumed."
Amendment No. 3: Staff is proposing to add a Circulation Map, identified as Exhibit
"B," to illustrate the circulation plan discussion contained in the text. This addition to the
ordinance is necessary to provide a full understanding of the overall Circulation Plan for
the AlP. ~
CONCLUSIONS: Staff is proposing to amend the Airport Industrial Park Planned
Development ordinance to include text describing the circulation plan for the ^IP, as well
as a map illustrating the street system. Based upon the above analysis, staff is able to
conclude that these proposed amendments to the ordinance are reasonable and
appropriate, and will enhance the future development of the Airport Industrial Park.

Airport lndttstrial Park (ALP) Planned Development Ordinance Amendments No, 96-10, as initiated by the
City Planning Department. to amend the ord!nance to include describing the Circulation Plan for the AIP
within the Text and provide a Circulation Plan Map.
Senior Planner, Charles Stmnp, advised the Commission that Staff recently initiated amendments to the Airport Industrial
Park Planned Development Ordinance and this Commission advanced recommendations to the City. The Council, in their
deliberations, agreed with the Planning Commission's recommendation and adopted the revised Ordinance with the
exception of two components, which were remanded back to Staff. 'The two components included were the text regarding
the Circulation Plan and it's associated Circulation Map. Staff has now reworked that language per the direction of the
Council and brought it back to the Planning Commission for review and discussion, and their recommendation to the
Council.
Council's specific direction was to preserve the concept of a southern access to add that to the text discussion on the
Circulation Plan, and to depict it very conceptually on the Circulation Map. Staff has produced revised language, per the
direction of the Council, and they have amended the map, Mr. Stump recommended the Commission discuss the proposed
Circulation Plan language, conduct a public hearing, and make a recommendation to Council.
Mr. Stump noted he had referenced an Attachment//2 in his Staff Report, which is the City Council minutes of April 17,
1996. Those minutes were not attached to the Staff Report due to their delay in production and approval upon the
resignation of the City Clerk.

Commi~ioner Pruden stated she did not see Gary Akerstrom in the audience and wondered if the City had settled some
issues with him.
Mr. Stump replied Staff did have the opportunity to_~iscu~ss these propOsed amendments, or minor language changes, with
Mr. Akerstrom. He asked them to recall his discussion at the last Planning Commission meeting when they were proposing
to eliminate the southern access completely and Mr. Akerstrom's general opposition to it. Mr. Stump suggested it might
be safe to conclude, because he is not in attendance, that he is supportive of the minor language changes to restore, at least
in concept, the idea of a possible southern access some' time in the future.
Comm[,~_'oner Pruden commented he may be waiting/'or City Council since the Planning Commission is only making a
recommendation.
Mr. Stmnp concurred, but stated Mr. Akerstrom had not expressed any anger or opposition to this language when he did
have an opportunity to discuss it with him.
Commissioner Larson asked how this change affects the apportioning of development fees for off-site traffic mitigations.
Mr. Stmnp responded they are in the process of costing out the off-site capital improvement mitigation measures that were
a part of the Airport Industrial Park's EIR. The City Engineer is putting together an AB-1600 program to accomplish that.
During the discussion at the Council level on this southern access the funding mechanism for the future was discussed, as
to whether it was something to be pursued. He stated the question arose as to whether or not we should factor the costs
of it into the current AB-1600 program and the direction was no; if the City does decide to go ahead with a southern
connection sometime in the future they would probably fund that through an Assessment District.
Commissioner Larson asked if the Assessment District would be comprised of the lots that would primarily use it.
Mr. Stump replied it would be a Benefit Assessment District. The area that would be included in that Benefit Assessment
District would be those properties that would benefit from the southern access connection.
Mr. Stump continued it would probably be the parcels within the AIP, but the City Engineer would be in charge of
delineating the Benefit District.
Commissioner Larson stated that looking at it from the other end, with Mr. Akerstrom not being present, he has concerns
about what Mr. Akerstrom's apportioned costs of off-site improvements would be. By eliminating the southern access it
seems the City's contribution, and/or lot owners in the southern half of the entire project would be contributing
proportionately more to the improvements to the north of the park, or to the west of the park, than they would be if they
were dependent or using an access to the south. He asked if it therefore reduces the northern property owners' share of
those off-site improvements proportionately by not constructing a southern access.
Mr. Stump replied that if the southern access were eliminated altogether, as Staff previously proposed, the overall costs
to everybody who has a responsibility to contributing to off-site improvements would be reduced. The cost of doing that
southern access including the design and construction has been estimated to be around $1 million dollars. Everybody would
have to contribute to it that would benefit from it. By eliminating the access, the cost is eliminated. By preserving it, the
cost is not eliminated.
Mr. Stump reiterated the Council level of discussion was essentially that we will do a funding mechanism for it in the
future, if and when we decide to do it. It will not be required as a part of the current off-site capital improvement program
for the Airport Industrial Park.

Commissioner Larson commented he may never get a clear answer to his question because perhaps there isn't one. It has
yet to be worked out as to who is going to pay for what, and what is actually going to happen in the way of off-site
mitigations.
Mr. Stump stated they know what off-site mitigation~"ar~going to be required for bUildout of the Park a~d they also know
that the City Engineer is working on the AB-1600 program for those off-site capital improvement mitigations, absent the
southern access route.
Commissioner Mc Cowen added a minor point in regard to the map that shows the Airport Industrial Park. He stated it
would be helpful to him, and perhaps others who are not familiar with the history of the project, to indicate on the map
the boundaries of the Redwood Business Park and the Airport Business Park.
Commissioner Pruden agreed it would be a good idea considering there are two separate EIRs on the Park.
Mr. Stump stated Staff did receive the recommendation from Commissioner Mc Cowen and they think it is a good idea.
Staff would be happy to do that at this Commission's direction for Council's consideration.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED: 7:44P.M.
No Comments.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: 7:45P.M.
Commissioner Baker stated she has no problem with Amendments 1 or 3, and Amendment #2 almost works. She
suggested specific wording as follows:
"The southern access road concept, as envisioned in the original specific plan for the Airport Industrial
Park is retained. The roadway's exact design and routing is neither implied nor specifically assumed. The
southern access road, or an approved alternative road, shall be constructed when the AIP attains 50%
buildout."
Mr. Stump summarized that Commissioner Baker's proposed language basically confirms what the EIR says as to where
we are at today with it, and Commissioner Baker is recommending to include that in the ordinance. This Commission can
recommend that to the Council, though that wasn't the Council's specific direction. What they were looking for is a way
to get away from the 50 % buildout requirement. It was previously a requirement for emergency services, for public safety.
However, the Public Safety Department has produced an alternative way to provide emergency services to the Airport
Industrial Park that would not involve the southern access road. He stated the Council was satisfied with the alternative
for providing emergency access and agreed that the requirement for a southern access road is not necessary at 50%
buildout.
Commissioner Baker responded it is her feeling that there is a lot of concern about the traffic circulation for the Park.
She stated she reads some of that concern into the recommendation by City Council for the Planning Commission to review
this language. She does not think in her own mind, and in conversations she has had at the Growth Management Steering
Committee with a large number of community people, that the only issue is the safety access route. She thinks the issue
is the overall circulation for this Park. If it is not obtained at 50 % buildout, she does not think it will ever happen.
Mr. Stump said Commissioner Baker made a good point. The EIR told us from a Traffic Engineering standpoint the
southern access would not be necessary for buildout of the Park. Traffic circulation will occur adequately. As this
Commission knows, there is a scale of what is "adequate". Mr. Stump discussed the differences in perception of traffic
circulation in downtown Los Angeles versus in a small town like Ukiah. In the EIR the professional traffic engineers are
telling us that even for Ukiah, generally, when this AIP builds out you won't need a southern access. We will be able to
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Page 10
May 8, 1996
tolerate worse traffic conditions than we have now. But, as Commissioner Baker points out, the perception may be that
it is worse than it was when just Friedman Bros. and Wal-Mart were there. Now that we're reaching 50% buildout and
we're waiting longer at a stoplight, this is unacceptable. It is a tough issue.
Commissioner Baker stated she received a phone call after the approval of the Friedman Brothers' project from a resident
of the neighborhood at Betty and Lorraine, south of Talmage Road. This individual had been discussing with her neighbors
their common concerns that the traffic continues to increase in that neighborhood each time another business goes in there.
What is most clearly evolving there is the types of uses are not what was anticipated when the EIR was originated.
Mr. Stump responded the EIR that they certified for buildout of the Park has anticipated and assumed commercial/retail,
even south of Friedman's. If the line south of Friedmans' holds, we're not going to have as much traffic as projected in
the EIR. Effects on Betty and Lorraine Streets, as you will recall in the Wal-Mart EIR, were called out as potentially
significant and we do know, as Commissioner Larson has indicated in the past, that the traffic counts in that area have
climbed dramatically, even since Wal-Mart. The City Engineer has been monitoring that situation and is required to
implement a mitigation program accordingly.
Commissioner Mc Cowen stated Commissioner Baker's concerns are valid but stated if the City Council has already dealt
with this issue, we are simply looking for language that preserves the concept of the southern access without being
committed to it. He further stated it is good that the concept is preserved, so that in the future as buildout progresses, if
the problems with traffic and circulation worsen, as they probably will, and should they reach a level that a significant
number of people feel is intolerable, then there is still a possibility of getting a southern access built. To take an issue
where the City Council has already made a determination, and go against it, would serve no useful purpose.
Commissioner Pruden clarified City Council is asking for a recommendation, so we have that luxury tonight.
Commissioner Larson stated the traffic on Lorraine Street, as of approximately one year ago had increased about 300 %
since the opening of Wal-Mart. The EIR for Wal-Mart anticipated an 800 % increase with the buildout of the Park and he
suspects it will be even greater than that. He observed the traffic when they first looked at some amendments to the Park
a few months ago, and stated it is a race track down Lorraine Street. Mr. Larson expressed his concern that a southern
access would be creating a similar situation for a neighborhood south of the Park, which was addressed in the EIR. He
doesn't want any kind of access into that neighborhood until mitigations are guaranteed to preserve the quality of the
neighborhood or replace it, and relocate those people, which is not even within their jurisdiction to do. On the other hand
there will be congestion along Talmage Road and continuing increases in the impacts to Lorraine and Betty Streets, and
Waugh Lane, which are at-risk residential areas and could, in his opinion, become slums as a result of this. It will soon
be time to start looking at what can realistically be done to mitigate the traffic problems. Mr. Larson gave an example of
a similar situation in his own neighborhood and is living with the results of someone putting in a conceptual arrow
somewhere and never seeing it happen.
Commi~ioner Pruden recommended a compromise proposal to include, as a second recommendation, Commissioner
Baker's language. She suggested sending Staff's language and Commissioner Baker's recommended text on to Council
so they can look at both, side by side. They may want to take a little from both, or they may want to use either/or.
Commissioner Pruden stated she does not have a "no" vote against either one and stated since they have the luxury of
making a recommendation, she would like to submit Commissioner Baker's language and let them make a choice on it as
well.
Chairman Ashiku stated he is not sure that even if a southern access was developed in the future it would solve any of
the traffic problems for Lorraine and the other streets in the area, because the population mass that commutes to the Park
for whatever commercial purposes mainly resides to the north of the Park. He wondered if based on peoples' driving
habits, they are going to be inclined to take a southern access for departure, even though there might be less traffic. People
see straight lines to the Park and even if they wait two minutes at a stop light it wouldn't seem to be an obvious advantage
for them to drive south. Chairman Ashiku did not want to commit to Commissioner Baker's language because it would
basically commit us to developing some type of alternative access.
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Page 11
May 8, 1996
Discussion followed regarding the additional language proposed by Commissioner Baker and whether or not all or part of
if should be submitted to Council.
Commissioner Larson asked for clarification as to whether the current Planned Development Ordinance requires the
construction of this southern access at 50 % buildout.
Mr. Stump stated the specific plan does not require it. The specific plan currently shows the roadway as a concept. The
EIR mitigations require it at 50 % buildout. At that point the City has choices. The City could either choose to build it or
it can override it saying that the impact is mitigated in another way, more specifically, the approach that the Public Safety
Department has now advanced as a solution.
Commi.~,~ioner Larson stated what he doesn't like is by deleting that 50% buildout factor we no longer have any point at
which there's an obligation to consider a southern access route.
Mr. Stump stated unless we do something to the EIR, the 50% language will be retained and we will be obligated as
buildout occurs. It is not articulated in the Ordinance, but that doesn't mean that we don't have to do it.
Commissioner Larson stated what gets us off the hook is a gate onto the airport runway.
Mr. Stump agreed and stated when we reach 50 % buildout the Council can say this impact is mitigated by the Public Safety
Department coming forward and saying this new approach solves the public safety problem, therefore we are going to
override that mitigation in the EIR, it is no longer necessary.
Chairman Ashiku stated his understanding is that Commissioner Baker is proposing to drop "retain as a concept only",
as well as "the need for this roadway" from Staff's language. He agreed with the idea of dropping "the concept only"
because it is redundant, but he said the language "the need for this roadway" is necessary. It makes it clear we aren't
implying there is a need. He stated he could not support dropping "the need for this roadway" from this language.
Commissioner Pruden stated she has not changed her opinion and would like to send Commissioner Baker's language on
and let Council factor it in.
Chairman Ashiku suggested that the Commission make a recommendation that will support Staff's language and alternative
language for consideration. He then proposed making a statement that the alternative language basically was not
unanimously supported, but we felt it was important that Council consider it.
Commissioner Pruden MOVED to recommend to City Council the proposed Staff changes for the Airport Industrial
Planned Development ordinance amendment to include alternative language as proposed by Commissioner Baker.
Chairman Ashiku asked if they were going to vote on each item.
Commissioner Pruden felt it was adequate to say they are passing on language proposed by Commissioner Baker with the
amendment.
Commissioner McCowen asked Commissioner Pruden if the motion she is formulating would be to approve Amendments
#1,2 and 3, as recommended by Staff, but to include additional language proposed by Commissioner Baker for Amendment
#2. He asked if Commissioner Pruden was willing to state in the motion that Commissioner Baker's language did not have
the unanimous support of the Commission.
Commissioner Pruden stated it will be contained in the minutes of this meeting that there was extensive discussion about
it, and Council does read the minutes which will reflect we were not at full consensus, or that we wanted to substitute
MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Page 12
May 8, 1996
Commissioner Baker's language for Staff language. A vote won't be taken on this Amendment except to recommend it.
The process is to include some additional language that we have reviewed tonight.
Mr, Stmnp suggested that the Commission make a motion on Staff's recommendation, then if there is support for
forwarding StaWs recommendation to Council, make a second motion to also advance Commissioner Baker's language as
an alternative. This way the Council can see that there were two separate motions, rather than making them work through
the minutes to see if there was consensus or not.
Chairman Ashiku agreed that Mr. Stump's suggested method would make it a lot cleaner and it will be clearer to Council.
Commissioner Mc Cowen also asked that the maker of the motion to consider his earlier suggestions for clarifying the
Circulation Map referred to in Amendment//3.
MOTION withdrawn by Commissioner Pruden.
ON A MOTION made by Commissioner Pmden, seconded by Commissioner McCowen, it was defeated by the following
roll call vote, to recommend approval of the Ordinance on the Airport Industrial Park Amendments with Staff's wording
changes. In addition they recommend alterations in the Map (Exhibit B) that would reflect the boundaries of the Airport
Business Park and the Redwood Business Park.
Discussion followed regarding the recommended deletion of the phrase "as a concept only", and it was the consensus to
remove the words from the language.
The MOTION WAS AME~ED by Commissioner Pmden, seconded by Commissioner McCowen, to remove the words
"as a concept only" from Amendment No. 2.

alternative language.
Chairman Ashiku proposed voting on each separate Amendment, #1, 2 and 3, then those Commissioners opposed to
certain aspects of the language could state their objections and their preference for the alternative in that particular vote,
in order to move things along. He stated it seemed they could at least vote on Amendments 1 and 3 in an expedient manner
and asked to proceed with that vote if the Commission agreed.
Mr. Stump asked to remind the Commission before the motion is made that there was a consensus on amending the map
referenced in Amendment//3, as suggested by Commissioner McCowen.
ON A MOTION by Chairman Ashiku, seconded by Commissioner McCowen, it was carried by the following roll call vote
to recommend that City Council adopt the amendments as proposed by Staff for Amendments//1 and 3, and the changes
in the map (Exhibit B) to reflect the division between the business parks.

ON A MOTION by Chairman Ashiku, seconded by Commissioner Pruden, it was recommended to submit both sets of
language for Council's consideration.
Mr. Stump clarified they are not necessarily recommending either language, but suggesting Council consider both and
decide which is most appropriate.
Commissioner McCowen stated he finds that approach awkward and confusing. The Commission is being asked to make
a recommendation and it should be made in a straight forward manner. There is an apparent majority for alternative
language, so he would prefer to vote one concept or the other, up or down, and not try to weld them together.
Commissioner Pruden asked Mr. McCowen to realize that Staff will be recommending their own language, so they will
be bringing this back before the Council, regardless. Her initial attempt was to get both languages in. What the
Commission may not be aware of, is under the General Plan the actual extension of a southern route is still conceptualized
onto Plant Road. It was to be an industrial road to service the southern industrial sites. In fact, it is not to be a
neighborhood road as we're talking about, as we have the concern on Norgard Lane, but will in fact go through into the
southern industrial sites at Plant Road.
The MOTION was withdrawn by Chairman Ashiku and he expressed appreciation to Commissioner McCowen for his
comment. In regards to CommisSioner Pruden's remark about Plant Road, if there was some type of alternative language
that identified that as an alternative route, he could perhaps support some language to that affect.
Commissioner Pruden stated she did not have a problem with simply saying "southern access". She stated we have a very
expensive General Plan that details that with map projections. She fully supports Chairman Ashiku's motion to put
Commissioner Baker's language in so Council can see both languages.
Chairman Ashiku suggested making a recommendation of some type of language then either we will support it or we
won't support it. '
Commissioner Pruden WITHDREW her second as a result of Chairman Ashiku withdrawing his motion.
Mr. Stump stated it was not his intention to put words in the Commission's mouth, but Commissioner Mc Cowen's point
is well taken. He suggested, since there appeared to be consensus for the last iteration of Commissioner Baker's language,
and if there is at least a majority to support that language then that will go on as a recommendation and the Council will,
as Commissioner Pruden has stated, see Staff's recommended language also. In that sense, both sets of language will get
submitted to the Council. He suggested Commissioner Baker, if she so chooses, should make a motion again consistent
with the language she recommended last time.
ON A MOTION by Commissioner Baker, seconded by Commissioner Pruden, it was carried by the following roll call vote
to recommend that Amendment//2 read, "The southern access road concept, as envisioned in the original Specific Plan
for the Airport Industrial Park, is retained. The roadways exact design and routing is neither implied nor specific."

The State Map Act specifically excludes exactions being made for the approval of Boundary

Also, clarification should be made to indicate that "only that portion of the public street

There are only two southern routes that are reasonable. The first being a depressed roadway
through the clear zone to State Street. This route would be shortest and would create inexpensive
fill (scraper fill) for the Airport Business Park project. As the roadway for ABP is constructed, this
option will probably disappear, requiring all of the approximately 7000 track loads of fill for ABP
to be imported over the newly constructed streets.
The Norgard Lane route was a terrible idea from the start and still remains so.
The other alternative would be a long street on the west side of the Freeway serving potential
industrial property under the Airport runway approach. This route would only be viable if the road
benefitted adjacent property that could develop if such an access were provided. The route shown
on the General Plan would never be viable as a Freeway undercrossing could not be financially
justified.
The City Council should probably make a decision on the southern access so proper planning
can proceed.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT:
Adoption of Resolution Establishing Rental Rates for Alex R. Thomas, Jr., Plaza
In order to provide for reserved use of Thomas Plaza by groups and individuals it will be necessary to establish
user fees. This practice is consistent with reserved use of other park facilities throughout the City which helps
defray costs for providing this service. Thomas Plaza will differ from other park facilities in that reservations and
fees will be managed through-the Conference Center as opposed to the Community Services Department. The
purpose of this variation is to provide for better coordination of combined uses between the Conference Center
and Plaza.
The proposed fees include rates for rental of the Pavilion, Stage or combined use of both. As is consistent with
other fees for park facilities, a reduction is provided for non-profit organizations. The fee schedule also provides
an opportunity to utilize City staff at an hourly or daily rate. The fees proposed for this service reflect recovery
of estimated city costs. Policies are also included as part of the proposed fee schedule to address issues related
to rental of the facility.
Included in the fees and policies for the Plaza are the guidelines for commercial vendor use. The Council may
recall several locations were designated in the development plans for use by vendors and were provided with
power and water. These vendors sites are intended to be leased on an annual or monthly basis and will operate
independently of special events. The proposed guidelines primarily address required permits, vendor operations,
size, and rental rates.
Staff believes the adoption of fees for reserved use of the Plaza is appropriate and consistent with existing
practice within the Parks system. We recommend adoption of the resolution establishing rental rates for Thomas
Plaza.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution Establishing Rental Rates for Alex R. Thomas, Jr., Plaza

1. Determine Rental Rates Are Inappropriate As Proposed And Adopt With Revisions
2. Determine Rental Rates Are Inappropriate And Do Not Adopt Resolution.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Appointment to Fill the Unexpired Term of City Clerk
The former City Clerk's resignation was effective May 25, 1996, with an election for a new City Clerk
to be held in November of 1996. In the interim Staff is recommending that Council appoint Marge
Giuntoli to fill the unexpired term of City Clerk.
Marge Giuntoli is a Professional Secretary that lives within the City limits and has been working part-
time for the City of Ukiah for eleven months. She is well trained and proficient in taking minutes, filing,
assisting the public, using the wordprocessor and other secretarial and City Clerk functions. Since
the former City Clerk was absent from City Hall for the last month of her tenure, Marge Giuntoli has
filled in and performed in an excellent manner in fulfilling the duties of City Clerk, through the
supervision of Deputy City Clerk Karen Yoast.
Upon appointment by the Council, Ms. Giuntoli will be working an average of 32 hours per week and
receive the City Clerk salary of $1,550 per month. Marge and Karen's hours combined will allow the
equivalent of a full-time City Clerk that is available at City Hall between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m. The City Clerk will once again be taking over the Redevelopment Agency agenda and
minutes.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council appoint Marge Giuntoli to fulfill the unexpired term of City Clerk
at the current City Clerk salary of $1,550 per month.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
1. Request Staff to proceed with the recruitment of City Clerk.
2. Appoint another person chosen by Council.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution Establishing Investment Oversight Committee
The City Council adopted a policy resolution revising the City's Investment Policy at the January 17, 1996 Council
meeting. One section of the policy referred to the City of Ukiah Investment Oversight Committee, which would
meet at least every six months in order to conduct a comprehensive review of the investment activities to ensure
that the regulations were being adhered to and that strategies were both appropriate and being followed. Since
that time we now know that a new City Treasurer will be elected in the November 1996 election and the Council
has determined to utilize the services of a Management Advisory firm to avail itself of the experienced sources
of information, advice, assistance and facilities available through an investment advisory service.
Accordingly, Staff is recommending that the City of Ukiah Investment Oversight Committee consist of the
following membership: the elected Treasurer, Finance Director, City Manager, one Council member, and one
public member who has governmental accounting experience, such as an outside Auditor, Public Agency Finance
Director, or CPA. The public member will be appointed by the Council with a two year term and with no limit on
the number of terms held by one individual. The public member may not be employed by the City in the previous
three years prior to his or her appointment.
Each member of the Oversight Committee would receive the monthly portfolio reports, which are in compliance
with new statutory requirements, and written quarterly performance reports from the Investment Advisory Service
agency. The Committee will also be reviewing the Annual Audit of Investments. The Oversight Committee will
meet every six months to review policy, investment strategy, performance and develop long range planning for
the City's investment portfolio. A representative from the selected Management Advisory Service would be in
attendance at the meetings to provide information and assistance. Committee meetings shall be open to the
public and subject to the Brown Act. All Committee minutes shall be recorded and distributed to the Council and
agendized for discussion.
Staff is recommending that Council adopt the Resolution establishing the City of Ukiah Investment Oversight
Committee. A Resolution will be forthcoming_the first part of next week.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution Establishing Oversight Committee

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)
SUMMARY: For the past few years the topic of purchasing and installing a Geographic
Information System (GIS) has been discussed amongst the Council and staff, and each
budget season the subject arises only to be deferred (by staff) to a future date and a
future budget. Recently, however, staff has taken some time to perform a fundamental
cost / benefit assessment of purchasing and installing a GIS for Ukiah, and now
believes that the costs far outweigh the benefits, and that it would be inadvisable to
pursue this matter in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, staff now seeks firm direction
(Continued on page 2)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Abandon plans to purchase, install, and maintain a GIS
for the foreseeable future.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
1. Direct staff to actively pursue the purchase and installation of a GIS, and,
correspondingly, increase the Planning Department's budget by a minimum of $20,000
to facilitate action on this matter in FY 96/97.

Cand-ace ;si;y, CitY' M~nager
from the Council on whether to proceed with this costly endeavor, and whether or not
the budget should be increased to actually begin its implementation.
In simple terms, a GIS is a computer database typically containing land and parcel
inventory information and graphics related to natural resources, physical characteristics
and constraints, and infrastructure. It is typically used by planning, engineering, and
utility professionals for urban development, resource management, environmental
planning, and infrastructure design and layout, and it is most useful in the planning of
large, environmentally diverse areas facing development pressures. It is not typically
needed for small urban areas, and, quite frankly, the City of Ukiah is only 4~ square
miles in area, virtually built out, and replete with existing infrastructure, which, in staff's
opinion diminish the usefulness of, and need for a GIS system.
As stated, we have been assessing the costs and potential benefits of a GIS for Ukiah.
Specifically, staff has been consulting with personnel who are relatively knowledgeable
with computer science and GIS software, and the consensus of opinion is that the City
should not pursue setting up a GIS in the foreseeable future for the following reasons:
·
Set-up Cost - Establishing a GIS would be costly to purchase and maintain.
Preliminary estimates from staff knowledgeable on the subject indicate that the
initial price tag would be at least $20,000 and probably more like $40,000 just to
get the system running. Thereafter, a staff person or contract professional would
have to maintain the system, which would be an on-going and unknown amount,
and certainly not minimal.
,
Maintenance Cost- The system would have to be continually monitored,
maintained, and updated as database conditions and circumstances changed.
The quantitative cost of this maintenance effort is an unknown variable, although
it is presumed to be substantial on an every-fiscal-year basis.
.
Hardware Cost - The GIS would require the purchase of a new computer with a
large hard drive and large screen, and this computer would have to be dedicated
for no other use than the GIS system. Currently, all the Planning Department's
computers are in use for a variety of daily and necessary tasks, and none is, or
would be available to use for the GIS. Moreover, our computers are over 4 years
old now, and are not modern or large enough to handle a GIS.
,
Staff Time - Aside from financial issues, establishing a GIS would require intense
time involvement by City staff from various departments. A very large part of
establishing a GIS is collecting data for inputting to the GIS system, and this
would have to be done by City staff. At the present time, however, all would-be-
affected staff members are working at full capacity, and would not have the time
to dedicate to the project. More importantly, the work load would require the
hiring of additional part time staff to set up and maintain the GIS, as previously
stated.
o
Cost / Benefit Evaluation - From the Planning Department's perspective, the
costs (time allocation and hardware/software purchases) of setting up and
maintaining a GIS far outweigh the benefits. Currently, the volume of public
inquiries for GIS-type data are quite readily, thoroughly, and expediently handled
by staff in a manual fashion, and, correspondingly, the service to the public is
quite high without the automation represented by a GIS system. Moreover,
based on informal conversations with other department personnel, the City staff's
at-large use of a GIS program would not provide any great amount of benefit,
research and development insight, or processing efficiency that are not already
provided by manual means and methods.
Staff is aware that the Council has been promised some sort of GIS by various staff
personnel for the past few years. However, it is the current staff's opinion that the cost
implications of establishing a GIS were never adequately assessed; that a meaningful
GIS would be extremely expensive in terms of staff time and material purchases; and
that the costs presently cannot be justified by the benefits. Staff therefore has
concluded that the cost/benefit ratio for installing a GIS is significantly skewed in the
negative, and that we recommend abandonment of this costly item from existing and
future budget goals and work expectations.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Introduction of Ordinance Amending Chapter 12, Section 1965, Parks and Recreation
Facilities.
Recently the City Council has taken two actions which require adoption of an ordinance amending
Chapter 12, Section 1965 of the Municipal Code. Specifically, those actions were the designation
of Gardener Pocket Park as a city facility and the acceptance of Alex R. Thomas Jr., Plaza from the
Redevelopment Agency. Section 1965 is that section of the code which identifies and designates all
parcels of land which are Parks and Recreation facilities and owned by the City of Ukiah.
Thomas Plaza will also require special rules for public use due to the nature of park amenities, types
of use, and location. In order to ensure the quality environment created in the plaza is maintained
staff is recommending Section 1965 also be amended to include the following rules of use specific to
the Plaza:
.

Bicycling, skateboarding, skating, rollerblading, or any other human propelled conveyance is
prohibited. Bicycles must be parked in racks provided for them.
Thomas Plaza shall be added to the existing list of park facilities allowing consumption of
alcoholic beverages by permit only.
Dogs are prohibited within the Plaza.
Motor vehicles and motorcycles are prohibited unless otherwise approved by the Director of
Community Services.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approve Budget Amendment in the Amount of $6,000 for Replacement of Heating and
Air Conditioning Unit in Golf Course Clubhouse and Award Bid
Due to unanticipated mechanical failure, the existing heating and air conditioning unit servicing the
Golf Course Clubhouse is in need of replacement. The system has failed due to inadequate sizing
of the ventilation lines which creates a burden on the compressor and caused the unit to ultimately
burned out. Staff is requesting a budget amendment in the amount of $6,000 in order to proceed with
immediate replacement due to the impending summer season.
Bids were requested by telephone and received from Ukiah Heating and Cooling, Redwood Heating
and Cooling, AC&R, and Reliance Enterprises. All bid sheets are attached. AC&R returned the
lowest bid in the amount of $5,025 with an additional $400 for an upgrade to a 12 seer maximum
efficiency unit. Staff is recommending the bid be awarded to AC&R including the upgrade to the 12
seer. $6,000 is requested in order to cover any contingencies during removal of the old unit and
installation of the new.
RECOMMENDED ACTION' Approve Budget Amendment in the Amount of $6,000 and award bid to
AC&R.

Dear Larry;
Thank you for the opportunity to bid on the installation new heating/cooling
system for the Golf Course Clubhouse in Ukiah. The following are concerns I have
about installing new equipment using the existing line set and the accessability (I should
say the inaccessibility) to service the air handler;
1. The refrigerant lines are inadequate for a 5 ton system. If we were to use the
existing line set the cooling capacity will be cut by 15-20% and the life of the new
compressor would be greatly shortened. I know this is at least part of the reason the old
system burnt out.
2. The existing fan coil is installed in a inaccessible location for both replacing and
servicing. If the motor or any other control were to go out in the fan coil, a part of a wall
would need to be removed so the new part could be installed.
3. The existing return air is too small and needs to be enlarged. We recomend a
20".
I recommend installing a 5 ton packaged gas heating/electric cooling unit to be
mounted on the roof of the Clubhouse. The bid would include the following:
--Trane® packaged unit with natural gas forced-air heat 60,000-80,000 Btu of heat
and 60,000 Btu/hr (5 tons) of cooling 10, 11 & 12 SEER, complete with curb
--Removal, recovery and disposal of old outdoor unit, we will disconnect the
existing indoor fan coil and leave it in place
--Install new supply duct for behind golf pro's counter
--New return duct complete with return air filter grill for ease of filter access,
20" X 30" with 20" ducting
--Heating-cooling thermostat
---Gas line and electric work for new unit
--Crane service
mShop preparation and installation labor on site
--This price does not include a building permit
The complete installed price for the packaged gas heat/electric cooling would be;
10 SEER unit, 1 year part/labor warranty, 5 year limited warranty on
compressor, 10 year limited heat exchanger warranty and 78% efficiency on
heating .............................................................................................. $5224
BONDED · INSURED · LICENSE #292494
11 SEER unit, 1 year part/labor warranty, 10 year limited warranty on
compressor, 20 year limited heat exchanger warranty and 80% efficiency on
heating ............................................................................................. $5525
12 SEER unit, 1 year labor warranty, 2 year parts warranty, 10 year limited
warranty on compressor and outdoor coil, 20 year limited heat exchanger
warranty and 80%+ 2 stage gas valve and 2 speed combustion blower
heating .............................................................................................. $5990
The 12 SEER equipment uses approximately 17% less electricity to operate than
does the same-sized 10 SEER equipment. The additional cost would therefore be paid
back in a reasonable time, and then you'd be money ahead.
If I can be of further assistance, or you have any specific questions about this bid,
please give me a call.
Sincerely,
LR/ms Lee Rodrigue
