Re:
6 October 2004 Presentation to City Council - 2005 Update of the Mendocino County
Regional Transportation Plan
Dear Council Members:
As part of its 2004/2005 Work Program, the Mendocino Council of Governments will be
conducting an update of the 2001 Regional Transportation Plan. Although the RTP was only
adopted last year (May 2003), we are expected by Caltrans to adopt a new or updated plan in 2005.
Senate Bill 45 required that plans be adopted every four years, starting in 2001, therefore, making the
next round of plans due in 2005. Other agencies throughout the state will also be conducting RTP
updates at this time.
This update of the RTP is expected to be relatively minor because of the proximate adoption of the
last RTP and due to ongoing transportation funding reductions and delays. Because the majority of
projects listed as high priority or short-range have yet to be completed due to funding delays, it is
not anticipated that significant new projects will be added to the plan.
We have reviewed the Regional Transportation Plan Guidelines and supplement to the Guidelines
and determined areas in which the RTP is deficient. We have also examined the adoption process of
the last RTP and identified two topics that should be addressed or reassessed as a result. The
following is a summary of issues and areas of improvement that this update will focus on:
Interagency Coordination and Public Involvement: More information and documentation
need to be included in the plan relative to agency coordination and public involvement,
including a discussion of the ways in which they impacted the plan and process. We will also
include discussion of the interregional partnership process in which we've recently been
involved.
· Tribal Government Issues: We plan to include more specific information on each tribe, its
transportation needs, and our consultation process with the tribes.
Private Sector Involvement: The private sector, e.g. trucking firms and large employers,
needs to be included in plan development. Any major plans of theirs that may impact
transportation should be addressed. This will provide the private sector with an opportunity
to be involved in the transportation planning process.

· List of Financially Unconstrained Projects: In the RTP update, we will include a 'list of
financially unconstrained needed projects.
· Designation of specific Level of Service on highways.
· Discussion regarding school bus transportation as a form of transit.
As part of the RTP process, we will assess the EIR to determine if an update of that document
needs to be performed as well. Staff will consult with Leonard Charles, who prepared the EIR, in
making the determination. It is anticipated that, if anything, only a minor addendum will be
required.
MCOG personnel will be working with its Technical Advisory Committee and local agency
representatives to review and modify project listings and prioritization of projects. We will also be
conducting public, interagency and Native American outreach efforts. Two public workshops have
been planned in order to obtain public input and determine transportation needs. Workshops are
scheduled for October 5 at the Fort Bragg Town Hall and October 6 at the Victory Theatre Building
conference room in Ukiah, both from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. In addition, presentations will be made to
each City Council and the County Board of Supervisors in order to inform both elected officials and
their constituents of the plan update.
Efforts are also being made to include the Native American tribes in the RTP development process.
Letters were sent to each tribe in Mendocino County in late August informing them of the RTP
update, soliciting their input, and offering to make presentations to each tribal council. Phil
appeared before the Redwood Valley Rancheria Tribal Council on September 19. To date, they are
the only tribe that has expressed interest in this type of consultation. We will continue to make
every effort to involve the tribes and their transportation needs throughout the RTP update process.
These presentations and workshops will hopefully draw attention to any issues that the public, other
agencies, and tribal governments have that should be addressed in the RTP. We will provide
additional opportunities for public, agency, and tribal involvement at other points in the update
process as well.
Sincerely,
Phillip j. Dow
Executive Director

Development Recommendations
December 18, 2003
.
Develop a walking 'path linking the south border of Low Gap Park through city
owned hillside parcels, linking with city streets either along south border of the
Golf Course or upper Standley Street.
,
Develop a linking path to the east border of Low Gap Park from Orr Creek
footpath between Pomolita fields, preferably along very northern border of Golf
Course, near south bank of Orr Creek.
3. Regain trail access to the city-owned Fish Hatchery On Gibson Creek, and the
City parcel located west of San Jacinta Street.
4. Attempt to restore/expand the historical ridge top trail to link Orr Creek with
Doolin Creek and/or points beyond.
5~
Preserve the integrity and health of the watersheds of all western hillside creeks.
Specifically, prevent hillside erosion, contamination from septic systems and
pesticides/herbicides, and creek degradation --- keeping in mind the City of Ukiah
and Russian River are downstream. Encourage City to work with county and
appropriate agencies to develop extensive Environmental Impact Reports.
6. Encourage careful, conservative practices in any hillside build-out. Avoid
excessive build-out on Principle of preserving natural habitat and open space.
7. As necessary and advisable, amend the General Plan Land Use and Open
Space elements to further best environmental and development practices.
8. Protect view sheds of hills surrounding Ukiah Valley, to preserve their beauty, in
all planning issues.
9. Carefully consider the impact of increased traffic and property values on Standley
Street due to potential increased hillside .deVeloPment. The relatively peaceful
upper western extension of this residential street has no sidewalks, and is a
traditional walking, biking, and jogging rOute.
· .
10. Residential Regulations for second units-and accessory buildings in the Hillside
Districts are consistent with the regulations for all residential districts within the
--City.

FFOHI:
Recommendations to City of Ukiah and Mendocino County Planning
Departments regarding Specific Planning of the Brush Street Triangle.
Paths, Open 'Space and Creeks Commission
General Comments:
The area known as the Brash Street Triangle is the largest tract of'undeveloped land
remaining within the urbanized core of Ukiah. The .tract extends north of Orr Creek and is
bounded by the rail tracks on the west, Highway 101 on the east, and Ford Road on the north.
An oppommity now exists to plan an integrated communily for the Brash Street Triangle that
benefits everyone -industry, business, neighborhood, city, and county alike. When developed,
this area will have a huge impact, either positive or negative, on the City of Ukiah and the
Ukiah Valley. Forward thinking, thoughtful planning, and responsible development of this
key area is essential.
Planning Issues'
1. Although the Brash Street Triangle is within the jurisdiction of the County of
Mendocino, the proposed bridge across Orr Creek (on north Orchard.) is in the City
of Ukiah. Development of this county land is thus dependent on access through City
jurisdiction via Brush Street and Orchard Avenue,
2. Apparently this area is dependent on drinking water and waste water treatment
services supplied by the City of Ukiah. Since the City facilities are already
challenged in this. regard, what is the nature of the relationship between the City and
County? What other city services (police, fire control, solid waste) would be used?
3. How will it address the provisions outlined m the Ukiah Valley Area Plan and the
social, ~omic, and environmental needs of the greater community?
How does the development of this area reflect. the open space and recreational elements of the
Ukiah General Plan and the Orr Creek Bridge and Orchard Avenue ExterkSion EIR of 2002?
What provisions will be made to provide transportati°n, recreation, and open space in the
existing Clara/Ford Street neighborhood or in of the land developed north of Orr Creek?
Attachment#
~u
POSC Recommendations:
1. A Specific Plan for the entire triangle north of Orr Creek to the freeway must account for
inevitable growth and development. Specific areas of interest are ~types of development,.
densi~, open space, sensitive natural habitats, recreation, traffic (pedestrian, bikes, and
motor vehicles), mass transit, schools, and services.
2. The proposed Orchard Street Bridge should be rerouted to theEast so it parallels the
freeway and serves as a frontage road for furore development of the north triangle. This is
important for several reasons: A. It minimizes fragmentation of the Orr Creek habitat,
both north and south of the creek; B. It provides an-open space and recreational area for
housing both no-'th and south of Orr Creek; C. It moves the potential high speed and high
density vehicle traffic away from the existing neighborhood and new development north
of the creek.
3. With input and assistance of California Fish and Gmme, considerations should be made to
protect and improve fish and stream habitat. Prime considerations should be given to
avoid fragmentation.
4. Substantial open space and recreational areas should be incorporated into all development
plans. Buffer zones e,~t of the existing housings and on both sides of the Orr Creek
should be provided for recreational green space.
5. The setback from Orr Creek to new structures to the North should be minimum of 100
feet from drip line of trees (Fish and Game recommends 300 feet) to mini_m_ize the impact
of new construction on Orr Creek.
6. Side walks, bike lanes, and proper lighting must be provided to ensure sate and efficient
transportation and recreation for these high densiW neighborhoods. (Look to Marlene
Street & Walmart & Friedmans for positive and negative examPles.)
7. Provisions should be made to link and expand trails and bike paths both west and east. An
opportunity exists to extend paths east under the freeway to provide (most of the year)
access to the City athletic fields and east to the Russian River.
8. Insure thru the electrical w/ring and phone lines for all new construction is underground.
9. Conduct a detailed study on how the development of the Brush Street ~iangle will affect
traffic in the entire area. With data in hand, plan roads that account for growth and
minimize impact on the greater community.'
10. Integrate into all development plans considerations for services:.e.g~ public transit, safety,
education, child care, accessible shopping/laundry, etc~'
11. Resist action on the Orchard Avenue Extension and Bridge until the City and County
develops a joint Specific Plan for the Brush Street Triangle.
12. While developing an enforceable agreement, both agencies should invite and encourage
public input in the planning process.

SUBJECT: NOTIFICATION OF PURCHASE OF ONE WATSON MARLOW CHEMICAL FEED
PUMP FROM JBI WATER & WASTEWATER EQUIP. IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,829.04
Pursuant to Section 1522 of the Ukiah City Code, this report is submitted to notify the City Council
of the acquisition of equipment costing between $5,000 and $10,000. Due to various problems
encountered over the last three months it became apparent that the current system for reliably
feeding Ferric Chloride to the primary clarifiers as part of the CEPT program at the wastewater
treatment plant was inadequate. To provide the necessary reliability and redundancy, an
additional chemical feed pump was required. The Watson Marlow pump was selected in order to
maintain continuity with chemical applications and chemical pump specifications by Brown and
Caldwell in the Wasterwater Treatment Plant (WWTP) upgrade. This pump will be relocated and
used in the plant upgrade at the appropriate time. JBI Water & Wastewater Equipment is the sole
source vendor and the cost of the equipment is $5,829.04.
Funds for this equipment are available in maintenance account 612.3580.302.000.

ITEM NO. (id
DATE: October 6, 2004
SUBJECT: ALLOWANCE FOR STAFF TO FILE NECESSARY APPLICATIONS TO
BECOME A MEMBER OF WATER/WASTEWATER AGENCY RESOURCE NETWORK
(WARN) AND DIRECT CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AGREEMENT
Submitted for the City Council's consideration and action is staff's request for the City of
Ukiah to become a member of the Water/Wastewater Agency Resource Network (WARN).
It is the City's responsibility to supply a safe, adequate, and reliable water to its
customers. WARN is an effort through the California Emergency Services Act to provide
mutual assistance in times of emergencies, similar to the City's Fire Department mutual aid
agreements for fire disaster response. By becoming a member of the Water/Wastewater
Agency Resource Network (WARN), the City would, in the event of a natural or man-made
catastrophe, dramatically minimize the effect and duration of such a catastrophic event as
WARN members share staff, materials, and equipment during these times. If through WARN,
the City were to be the recipient of applicable services, the City, under SEMS/ICS, would be
reimbursed for all costs through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). If,
through WARN, the City were to provide support, the City would then be allowed to bill the
receiving agency for all costs incurred by the City.
This support system is designed to be a benefit for all members. It is an opportunity to
be prepared for emergencies and able to manage the crisis, rather than just react. Staff
believes this is a valuable program and recommends authorization to participate.

is being repaired or replaced, BORROWER shall reimburse
LENDER for such lease costs.

expense equal to LENDER'S full cost, i.e., equal to the employee's
applicable salary or hourly wage plus fringe benefits and

work hereunder, including, but not limited to, negligent or wrongful
use of equipment, supplies or personnel on loan to BORROWER, or
faulty workmanship or other negligent acts, errors or omissions by
BORROWER or by personnel on loan to BORROWER from the time

REPORT
SUBJECT:
AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO THE
SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR FUEL CARD LOCK SERVICES FOR RINO
PACIFIC, INC.
On the September 1, 2004 Council Meeting, Council authorized negotiation with
vendors to provide fuel services to the City. On July 9, 1998, the City entered a contract
with Rino Pacific Inc. for purchase of fuel for City vehicles through a fuel card lock
system. The City has been pleased with Rino Pacific's performance under this
agreement.
Rino Pacific has agreed to continue the current pricing schedule for two more
years. This fourth amendment would extend the agreement through September 30,
2006. Funds have been identified in the FY 2004/2005 budget to cover expenses for all
City Departments utilizing Rino Pacific for fuel services. Joy Williams of Rino Pacific
has verbally agreed to the terms of the fourth amendment. Due to the timing of the
preparation of this report, a signed copy of the amendment is not available.
The City also has an agreement with Redwood Oil Co. for purchase of fuel for
City vehicles through a fuel card lock system. Having these two fueling options
provides maximum flexibility for City Departments.
The City is currently exploring the option of opening a third contract with USA
Petroleum Corporation. Staff will seek Council approval at a later meeting prior to
entering into a contract.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 4
to the Agreement for Fuel Card Lock Services for Rino Pacific, Inc.

SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: REPORT OF DISPOSITION OF SURPLUSED USED EQUIPMENT
Per City of Ukiah Procedures for Sale of Surplus or Obsolete Materials, Used
Equipment and Supplies dated September 19, 1996, this report documents the sale of
equipment determined to be obsolete (no longer used) by the Landfill.
Sale of the equipment is in accordance to City Code Section 1533 and the Surplus
Procedure Statement that includes solicitation of specialty items in surplus. As it was
reported to Council on July 17, 2002, Gruyot Heavy Equipment Appraisal Service
appraised the four items of Caterpillar Heavy Equipment, and solicitations were mailed
to 135 contractors, city and county landfills, building exchanges, and companies that
purchase equipment for resale. Notice of Sale was published in the local newspaper
and posted on the City website. At closing of bids, three were received; two no bids and
one to purchase the 627 F Scraper for a net amount of $330,000. It was then
determined that the other three pieces of equipment would be advertised in "heavy
equipment for sale magazines", out of the area newspapers, and on the City's website.
On September 10, 2004, the City of Ukiah received a bid for the 1975 Caterpillar 955L,
SIN 085J09965 from P.A. Harmon, resident at 3250 Vichy Springs Road, Ukiah, in the
amount of $6,971.25. The bid was accepted, and on October 1, 2004, a final Bill of
Sale was prepared, and the sale consummated.
Efforts continue to sell the remaining Landfill equipment.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive and file report regarding the disposition of
surplused used equipment.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Discussion and direction to staff concerning Flood Control District Water Supply
TERMS OF WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT
The Mendocino County Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District
("Flood Control District" or "District") has a permit to use 8000 acre feet of water per year, which is stored
in Lake Mendocino during the winter and released during the summer.
The District proposed and on September 17, 2004, has now approved a standard Water Supply Contract
which must be signed by anyone wanting to use water under the District's water rights permit. (A copy
of the agreement is Attachment 1 to this Report.) The letter accompanying the final contract gives
each customer until November 4, 2004, to submit a signed contract to the District
As written, the Contract requires each potential District customer to agree to purchase water for an
annual fee. The District has established $25 per acre foot as the fee for the first year of the contract.
The District has indicated that it will offer each entity or person who has used District water in the past
[continued on page 2]
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept report. Direct staff on additional information required by City
Council.

an amount of water based on that customer's "historic use" of District water. The customer will decide
how much of that amount it wants to contract for.
Under the Contact, each customer must install a water meter to measure the amount of water it diverts
from the Russian River each year. Each year the customer will pay for the amount of District water it
uses, based on readings of that meter reported to the District by the customer. After the first year and
each year thereafter, if the customer does not use all of the water reserved to it under the Contract in
the prior year, the unused amount reverts to the District and is allocated to new customers. This
Report calls this provision of the Contract the "use-it-or-lose-ir' provision.
The Contract has an initial term of 5 years, but each year is extended for an additional year beyond the
termination date, unless by December 31 of any year, the customer or the District gives notice of non-
renewal. In effect, the contract remains in effect, unless a notice of non-renewal is given four years in
advance of actual contract termination.
CITY CONSULTANT CONCERNS WITH CONTRACT
Informally, the District made a copy of the draft contract available to City staff in July. It did not
formally circulate the draft for public comment until August 17. City staff had the contract reviewed by
Gary Weatherford, its water rights attorney, and Wagner and Bonsignore ("W & B"), its water rights
engineers. They raised the following concerns about the contract:
1. The Contract does not accommodate customers with independent water rights. In a normal water
year, for example, W & B estimates that there is sufficient "natural flow" in the Russian River to supply
all of the water diverted by the City. The City has a right under its own water rights permit to divert this
water and it does not need to rely on the District's permit in those years. Moreover, the City cannot
double count its water use in reporting that use to the State Water Resources Control Board
("WRCB"). If it diverts the water under the District's permit, that use counts toward perfecting the
District's water right and does not count toward perfecting the City's water right. Each water rights
permit sets a deadline for putting the water available under the permit to beneficial use. Any water that
is not put to beneficial within the time allowed may be lost, when the permit "goes to license."
2. The Contract relies exclusively on diversions to determine the use of the District's permit water.
However, under the District's permit as approved by the WRCB in decision D 1030, its use is described
as "depletion by consumptive use." This means that the water chargeable to the District's permit only
includes the amount of water permanently lost to the watershed after it is diverted. Water used for
domestic purposes or for irrigation that percolates through the ground back into the river does not
count against the District's 8000 acre foot reservation. By relying exclusively on diversions to measure
the use of the District's water, the Contract gives up the right of District residents to use these so-called
"return flows."
3. Certain provisions in the Contract, particularly those concerning defaults, remedies and
indemnification were one-sided and overbroad. (See Attachment 3, Summary, pp. 3-4.)
4. The Contract requires a customer to giVe up the right to challenge certain future District decisions,
including setting the future rates for water and District decisions to seek additional water rights.
PROBLEMS CREATED BY CONTRACT
Items 1 and 2 above, in the opinion of the City's consultants, have the following adverse
consequences:
1. They force customers with independent water rights to divert water and report that use
under the District's permit, when they don't need it, in order to have that water available in the dry and
critically dry years, when they will need it.
2. The use-it-or-lose-it feature of the Contract deprives potential customers who do not have
independent water rights the opportunity to use that water, when customers who have their own
permits don't need the District's water, thereby reducing the number of customers who could make
beneficial use of the District's water.
3. The use-it-or-lose-it feature discourages water conservation. If a customer doesn't use the
water in one year, because it doesn't need it that year, it loses the right to use that water permanently.
Hence, the customer must use the District's water to preserve the customers right to use it in the
future, whether the customer could avoid that use through conservation measures or not.
4. By forcing the customer to report water diversions under the District's permit, when it could
divert that water under its own permit, the Contract reduces the amount of total water in Mendocino
County subject to Russian River water rights permits that can be perfected under those permits.
Rather than taking maximum advantage of water rights permits for the mutual benefit of all Russian
River water users in Mendocino County, this Contract provision may reduce the amount of water
available in the County.
5. By ignoring return flows, the Contract fails to take maximum advantage of the water
available under the District's permit. Again, rather than maximizing water availability in the County, this
Contract provision may give up water that could be put to beneficial use under the District's permit.
EFFORTS TO BRING CONCERNS TO THE DISTRICT
When the contract was formally circulated for public comment on August 17, the accompanying letter
(Attachment 2) promised multiple meetings over a 2 month period to solicit and consider public
comments on the draft Contract. The City staff attempted to bring the concerns of the City's
consultants to the District Board. City staff requested a meeting with the Board for its consultants to
make a presentation. The District agreed to an informal meeting on August 31 with City
representatives, the District's Executive Director, its attorney, Marc Del Piero, and two District Board
members, Judy Hatch and Tom Mon Pere. That meeting was dominated by Mr. Del Piero and the
Consultants never had an opportunity make their presentation. The City did agree, however, to submit
a redlined revised Contract to the District's attorney for his review and comment.
The redlined revised contract was emailed to the District and its attorney on September 9. (A copy of
the revised Contract and a summary of the changes and the reasons for them, entitled
MODIFICATIONS TO WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT are Attachment 3 to this Report.) The City has
never received any written response to those proposed revisions.
The District scheduled a public hearing on the draft Contract for Monday, September 13 at 7 p.m.
Because the City never got a chance to make its presentation, the District placed the City's
presentation on its agenda for 6 p.m. that same evening at the Willow Water District offices on Laws
Avenue. The City's consultant, Paula Whealan, was given about ~ hour to make the presentation.
The District Board asked no questions and there was virtually no discussion of the presentation by the
full Board.
The public hearing convened at 7 p.m. at the Farm Bureau office on Talmage. A substantial number of
speakers expressed concerns about the Contract, but the discussion was general and conceptual and
did not address specific contract language. The hearing lasted about 1 ¼ hours. At the end, the
District was asked: what would happen next? The answer was vague but implied to several persons
present that there would be additional opportunity for specific comments. No mention was made of a
special meeting to approve the Contract.
Two days later, on Wednesday, a confusing notice of a special meeting set for "Monday," September
17, 2004, was posted with approval of the Contract as the only agenda item. Later that day or the
next day a revised notice was issued clarifying that the special meeting was scheduled for Friday,
September 17, at 6 p.m.
Ostensibly in response to public comments, contract revisions were presented at the special meeting.
No one had an opportunity to review those revisions before the meeting was convened. Because of its
timing at the beginning of a week end, few people attended. Those who did were not allowed to
address the draft Contract. The Board took the position that since an opportunity to comment had
been afforded at the September 13 meeting, no further comments would be permitted. No comments
were made about the proposed changes, because there had been no opportunity to review those
changes with consultants or legal counsel. Without much discussion, the Board approved the revised
Contract.
The City never received any response to its proposed changes and none of them were adopted.
On September 21, 2004, the Director of the Mendocino County Water Agency made a report to the
Board of Supervisors on the Water Supply Contract and the process used by the District to approve it.
In response, the Board asked him to prepare a letter for Board approval, requesting the District to
undertake additional review of the Contract to consider the issues raised by the City and others. The
letter from the Board states that the above-described process was not adequate. On September 28,
2004, the Board approved that letter and authorized the Board Chairman to send it.
On September 28, 2004, the City received a copy of a letter from the Chairman of the District Board to
the Chairman of the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors, responding to a letter from Susanne
Zechiel of the Fetzer Winery. Fetzer criticized the process used by the District to approve the Water
Supply Contract. (A copy of that letter is Attachment 4.)
The City staff felt compelled to respond to the District's letter. (A copy of the response is Attachment
5.)
CITY OPTIONS
The City will have to decide whether to sign and return the Water Supply Contract, to continue making
efforts to get the District to revise the Contract or to reject the Contract and rely on its independent
water rights exclusively.
City staff will be providing additional information to the City Council in a future closed session to aid it in
making these decisions.

Dear Water Users, Land Owners, and Residents:
For the last five decades, the Board of Trustees of the Mendocino County Russian River
Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District (MCRRFC & WCID) have
faithfully provided its 8000 acre feet of water from Lake Mendocino for the benefit of the
citizens, farmers, and communities of our District. Unfortunately, demands for our water are
always going up, even though our allotment is not. Recently, the Board of Trustees chose
to directly confront the ever-increasing demands that federal endangered species requirements
and new water users are placing on our fixed and limited water supplies. The Board, pursuant
to our District's Ordinance No. 00-1 that has now been legally upheld by both the Mendocino
County Superior Court and the California District Court of Appeals, has approved both a
water rate resolution and standardized water contract language. The Board has taken these
actions is because it sincerely believes that it is necessary and prudent to allow our historic
water users to apply for, and receive, written water agreements memorializing and confirming
to them their historic and existing annual water allotments of District water. Additionally, we
believe these actions appropriate so that those water users may preserve, protect, and
continue their past and current beneficial uses of our water, which they consistently use
annually.
Further, the Board decided to fund and implement this management program, in part, to
protect and preserve our farms and ranches, protect our economy, properly measure our
water use, and to uniformly maximize the beneficial uses to which the District's water is put,
while guaranteeing that water conservation is enforced and given a high priority within our
District's service areas. We believe and intend that these actions will protect our precious and
limited water fights and supplies in the future, as well as protecting the jobs, the health, and
the safety of our citizens and residents.
Enclosed with this letter are copies of the final and approved proposed agreemem language,
the original information letter, and the adopted rate resolution. We ask that you please take
the time to review these very important documents, particularly if you, your business, or your
agency has historically used our District's water.
President Vice President Treasurer Trustee Trustee
Judy Hatch Tom Ashurst Bill Townsend Tom Mon Pere Bob Wood
The Board of Trustees has approved this standardized agreement language so that those users
of the District's water supplies who propose to enter into water agreements will submit offers
to purchase water to the District that are fair, impartial, standardized, and uniform. The
Board has decided that it will not entertain re-written, specially modified, or changed
agreement ~e so that we can avoid any and all accusations or assertions of preference,
favoritism, or unfair advantage. SUCH PROPOSED CHANGES WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED.
If you wish to apply for the quantity of the District's water that you have historically used and
put to beneficial use on an annual basis, please fill out and sign the attached agreement
and return it to the District's office by mail or personal delivery by Thursday,
November 4, 2004 by $:00 p.m. Applications received at~er this date will be processed
based upon remaining water supplies. The return of this executed agreement by you will be
construed by the District as an offer to purchase an allotment of the District's water on an
annual basis. Upon its receipt, the District's Board of Trustees shall review and consider each
said offer to purchase water for sufficiency and completeness, and take appropriate action.
If you have any questions about the agreement, or you wish to discuss any aspect of this
process, please contract the District's Executive Director Barbara Spazek at (707) 462-5278.
We thank you for your kind consideration and cooperation in this process to protect our
valley's water supplies while maximizing the water that is and will be available, currently and
in the future, to you, our constituents and customers.
S~cerely,
Judy Hatch
President
UNIFORM WATER SUPPLY AGREEMENT
THIS WATER SUPPLY AGREEMENT (Agreement), entered into as of the latest
of the dates shown opposite the signatures of the Parties to this Agreement, is made
by and between ~.~'~ ?-? !~..:'.~ ~:'~ (hereinafter "Customer") and
MENDOClNO COUNTY RUSSIAN RIVER FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER'
CONSERVATION IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT organized and operating pursuant to
Water Agency Acts Chapter 54 (the "District"). Customer and District are sometimes
referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties." The Parties
hereby mutually agree to and confirm the following:
RECITALS
A. District is an improvement district organized and operating pursuant to the
provisions of Chapter 54 of the Water Agency Acts entitled the Mendocino County
Water Agency ACt. Pursuant to Sections 101 and 102 of that Act, the District has all
the rights, duties, powers, liabilities, purposes, privileges, and immunities conferred and
specified by the ACt on the Mendocino County Water Agency. Chapter 54 Section 3(s)
of the ACt provides that District, as an improvement district within the Mendocino
County Water Agency, has the power "to divert, produce, store, transmit, distribute, and
sell or otherwise furnish surface waters and groundwaters for beneficial uses within or
without the Agency".
B. The District has been granted the right to divert East Fork Russian River water,
redivert water released from storage in Lake Mendocino, and withdraw water from
storage in Lake Mendocino in a total amount not to exceed 8,000 acre feet per year
pursuant to Decision D-1030 and Permit No. 12947B issued by the California State
Water Resources Control Board (hereinafter "Project Water").
C. Historically, the District, since securing its water rights pursuant to the provisions
of SWRCB Decision 1030 and Permit No. 12947B, has provided to individual
customers an amount of water annually that each of those customers has put to
beneficial uses. For over forty years, these annual allocations of the District's water
Uniform Water Purchase Agreement
09117/04
supply have been beneficially used by the District's customers and reported to the
appropriate governmental and regulatory agencies. Those beneficial uses include
permanent orchards, vines, vineyards, and existing and long-established agricultural,
residential, commercial, and industrial uses that have greatly benefited and will
continue to benefit and sustain the economy, the environment and environmental
resources, the livelihoods, the health and safety, the jobs, and the communal and moral
integrity of the residents of Mendocino County.
D. Within the past several years and due, in part, to diminishing or threatened
altemate water allocations and supplies from other sources of Russian River water, the
District has received and is experiencing increased and new requests and demands for
the use of its water to a greater extent than its current water supplies can satisfy. The
District desires to conserve its water supply and to provide for and satisfy the historic
needs of the existing and continuing beneficial uses of its water by its long-term
customers referenced above before it develops or allocates existing or new water
supplies for new or expanded areas or uses. Consequently, the District has adopted
Ordinance No. 00-1.
E. The District has adopted Ordinance No. 00-1 and Resolution No. 04-03 which
provide a method by which Customers who wish to purchase a specific amount of the
District's Project Water may file an application with the District to purchase such water
and, upon approval of the application by District, enter into a Water Supply Agreement
which provides that the Customer will install at its own expense a water meter or meters
to measure the quantity of Project Water to be sold by the District to each such
Customer.
F. The purposes of said Ordinance and said Resolution are to provide a method by
which the District can properly promote conservation and conserve its water resources,
can accurately measure the amount of its Project Water used by each of its Customers,
and can sell such water to its Customers, for their sole properties or services areas, in
order to acquire funds sufficient to pay for the District's operational and administrative
costs and to finance acquisition of additional water supply to meet current and
increased demand for water necessitated by growth within the District's jurisdictional
boundaries and designated places of use. In order to implement these purposes, the
District finds that it is in the public's interest to accept written applications from its
Customers, who wish to utilize a specific amount of Project Water, to enter into Water
Water Purchase Agreement
Final - 9/17/04
Supply Agreements in the form of this Agreement by which the District will agree to
supply a specific amount of Project Water to each Customer submitting an application
(for the Customer's consumptive use) for a period to be reflected in this Agreement and
made a part in consideration for each such Customer agreeing to install at its own
expense a water meter at each of Customer's Service Connections for the purpose of
measuring the specific amount of Project Water utilized by each such Customer and
payment of the "per acre foot purchase pdce to be charged" for water pursuant to
Section 2 hereof. The amount of water agreed to be provided is not guaranteed and
the availability of said water is based on the type of water year as designated in State
Water Resources Control Board Decision D-1610 and explained in Section 9 below.
The purpose of this Water Supply Agreement is (1) to enable the District both to
accurately measure the demand for and usage of its Project Water by its customers
during the terms of this agreement and to charge its customers for said Project Water
and (2) to allow the District's Customers to utilize and consume a specific quantity of
Project Water for uses specified in the District's water rights permits upon payment to
the District of the required water charges.
G. Customer is a public water agency and/or individual which seeks to acquire a
water supply for all of its historic and long-term uses, including its domestic uses and
consumption and its agricultural uses, from the District's Project Water, and which
hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees to comply with and uphold both the
aforementioned Ordinance and Resolution.
H. District expects to have a quantity of Project Water available for delivery to
Customer during the term of this Agreement.
I. To accomplish the foregoing objectives of the parties, District is willing to supply,
and Customer is willing to pay for, receive and consume a specific quantity of Project
Water that it has historically used under the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
J. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions under
which Customer will take delivery from District of a specified quantity of Project Water
for Customer's consumptive use pursuant to the beneficial uses allowed under the
District's permit and California law as in effect on the effective date of this Agreement.
The Project Water delivered by District to Customer pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be acquired by District pursuant to those water rights by which District
Water Purchase Agreement
Final - 9/17/04 3
is entitled to 8,000 acre feet per year of water stored in Lake Mendocino pursuant to
Permit No. 12947B, and this Agreement shall have no effect on District's water dghts
described in said Permit No. 12947B. The Parties hereto do not intend, and under this
Agreement do not in any manner or way transfer, assign, encumber, or grant to
Customer any ownership interest or control over any of District's water dghts. As part of
the consideration for Distdct in this Agreement, Customer promises and agrees to use
District's water only pursuant to and in compliance with each and all of the
requirements and provisions of Permit No. 12947B, California Law, and D-1030.
K. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement will not become effective unless
and until District has obtained any and all necessary authorizations, consents, and
permits from certain governmental and public agencies necessary, if any, to deliver
Project Water to Customer.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy
of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1 - DELIVERY OF PROJECT WATER
1. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and to satisfaction and occurrence of
all of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement set forth herein,
District will cause to be delivered to Customer up to a maximum of acre-feet of
Project Water at the Customer's Service Connection during the term of this Agreement.
Customer agrees to propedy install and maintain at its own expense appropriately sized
water meter(s) at its Service Connections to accurately measure its usage of Project
Water as a condition precedent to accepting delivery from Distdct of that quantity of
Project Water specified herein and further, agrees to pay for, purchase, use, and
consume the water that customer diverts during the District's water year in which it was
diverted pursuant to the provision herein.
2. The Parties hereto agree that at the termination of this Agreement neither the
terms of this Agreement nor the conduct of the Parties and performance of this
Agreement confers upon Customer any legal or equitable right or claim to the Project
Water delivered.
3. Project Water subject to this Agreement shall be delivered to Customer at its
Service Connection located on the Russian River for use upon or within Customer's
Water Purchase Agreement
Final - 9/17/04 4
real property, or within Customer's service area if Customer is a regulated public or
pdvate agency, corporation, or municipal entity, created pursuant to the California
Constitution, statute, or regulations of the California Public Utilities Commission and
which is legally authorized to sell and deliver water to its customers.
4. Customer acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is a contract for the
delivery of Project Water from the District during the Term. The quantity of Project
Water delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be measured by meter(s) to be
installed at the location(s) where Customer proposes to divert Project Water from the
District's public water system in the Russian River, as the case may be (the "Service
Connection'). Pdor to the effective date of this Agreement, Customer agrees to furnish
and install meters of appropriate size at the Service Connection at Customer's sole cost
and expense. The meters shall remain the property of Customer. District, as part of
this Agreement, is granted and reserves the dght to read, inspect, test, and to require
Customer to service said meters, if necessary, at any time. Customer shall have and
accepts the obligation to maintain the meter in good working order for the benefit of the
District at all times. Failure to install the aforementioned meters by the date specified
shall cause this contract to be void and terminated.
5. If deliveries of Project Water under the provisions of this Agreement are
prevented, delayed, or made impracticable due to extended drought, flood, fire,
earthquake, or other natural disaster, federal or state regulatory limitations, stdke,
unavailability of necessary materials, electrical power or fuel, civil doting, war or military
conflict, inability of District to obtain any approval for conveyance of Project Water from
any government agency, including without limitation the State Water Resources Control
Board ("SWRCB'), or if the cost of complying with any environmental requirements
renders this transaction economically or physically impractical (collectively a Force
Majeure Event), District shall not be required to deliver and Customer shall not be
required to accept that portion of the Project Water the delivery of which has been
prevented, delayed or made impracticable, for the period of prevention, delay or
impracticability. Project Water not delivered as a result of such prevention, delay or
impracticability may be delivered to Customer on a make-up basis on a schedule to be
reasonable and agreed upon by the Parties, if such deliveries can legally be made up
by the end of the Term of this Agreement.
Water Purchase Agreement
Final - 9/17/04
6. Customer shall have the physical control of the taking of water from the Russian
River at the point of its Service Connection. Customer shall bear all expenses of such
taking, including but not limited to the furnishing and maintenance of intake facilities on
the Russian River and shall obey the rules and regulations of the Corp of Engineers
and any other public authority with jurisdiction over the installation and maintenance of
such facilities. Customer shall provide to District meter readings reflecting the total
amount of water used by Customer from the Russian River. Said meter readings shall
be provided on the first of each month and at such other intervals as may be requested
by District or its authorized representatives.
SECTION 2 - PER ACRE FOOT PURCHASED PRICE TO ,BE CHARGED
7. Customer shall pay the "per acre foot purchase price to be charged' to the
District in the amount of $ 23.00 per acre foot for each acre foot of Project Water
which District contracts to deliver and that Customer diverts as specified in Paragraph 1
of this Agreement, whether such Project Water is actually used by Customer or not.
Customer and District mutually hereby accept and agree that the annual "per acre foot
purchase price to be charged' shall be calculated and adopted by resolution annually
by the District, as follows: The "cost of administration" of the District in entering into,
administering, and managing its water and Water Supply Agreements with Customers
for each water year shall be divided by its 8,000 acre foot entitlement, or such other
sum as is reserved to the District pursuant to State Water Resources Control Board
Decision D-1030, or amendments thereto, to determine the District's costs of
administration for each acre foot. The "cost of administration" of the District in
administering and entering into the subject "Water Supply Agreements' shall include
the following: (a) all of the District's costs of preparing and reviewing, the costs of
processing, and all administration costs of evaluating Customer's Application to enter
into the Water Supply Agreement; (b) all of the District's costs of administering and
monitoring the installation of water meters by Customers as required by the terms of
this Agreement; (c) all of the District's annual administrative costs, including but not
limited to all monitoring and legal costs, and all of the District's annual environmental
review and/or mitigation costs, including engineering and consultants costs and those
costs involved in analyzing and responding to Customer Applications, and all costs
encompassed in the managing, operating, monitoring, developing, expanding,
Water Purchase Agreement
Final - 9/17/04
preserving and defending, and administering of the District's water system(s) and
facilities, water supplies, and the Delivery of Project Water to Customer pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement; (d) all costs of water meter inspection, water meter reading,
water meter testing, and all costs of all administrative, operational, and regulatory
reporting, and compliance requirements, entitlements, obligations, or duties. The total
"per acre foot purchase pdce to be charged" payable by Customer pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement is the charge per acre foot times the number of acre feet of
Project Water diverted by Customer as set forth in Section 1 hereof.
8. The "per acre foot purchase pdce to be charged" is due and payable monthly by
Customer to District after this Water Supply Agreement is accepted by the District and
both parties execute this Agreement. Customer's obligation to pay the "per acre foot

District's water by Customer, based upon monthly meter readings and monthly billings,
is less that the amount of water reserved for Customer, as referred to in Paragraph 1,
Section 1 of this Agreement, the District shall reduce Customer's reserved water
allotment to reflect actual use in the prior years. The unused water will then be made
available to other water users at the sole discretion and determination of the District for
the maximum beneficial use of the District's water resources.

County in order to acquire funds sufficient to finance acquisition of additional water supply to meet
the increased demand for water necessitated by growth within the District's jurisdictional boundaries;
and
President Vice President Treasurer Trustee Trustee
Judy Hatch Tom Ashurst Bill Townsend Torn Mon Pere Bob Wood
WHEREAS, the District has adopted Ordinance Number 00-1 an Ordinance Establishing
Regulations and Rules for Water Sales by the Mendocino County Russian River Flood Control and
Water Conservation Improvement District which provides a method by which Customers who wish
to purchase a specific amount of the District's Project Water may file an application with the District
to purchase such water and, upon approval of the application by the District, enter into a Water
Supply Agreement which provides that the Customer will install at its own expense a water meter or
meters to measure the quantity of Project Water to be sold by the District to each such Customer;
and
WHF~REAS, the purposes of Ordinance Number 00-1 are to provide a method by which the
District can properly promote conservation of its water resources, accurately measure the amount
of its Project Water used by each of its Customers, and sell such water to its Customers in order to
acquire funds sufficient to pay the District's operational and administrative costs and to finance
acquisition of additional water supplies to meet current and increased demand for water necessitated
by growth within the District's jurisdictional boundaries and designated places of use; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance Number 00-1 Article 6 Pricing provides that the Board shall, by
resolution, fix the price per unit at which water will be sold to Customers of the District on an annual
basis. Such prices are to reflect all costs and out of pocket expenses directly incurred by the District
in delivering water for sale to the service connection of each Customer. The District's cost shall
include the actual cost per acre foot to (a) obtain water from its sources in California; (b) convey the
water to the Customer's Service Connection; (c) pay any required fees and costs for water supply and
conveyance to the Customer's Service Connection; (d) pay any conveyance costs of the water supply
to the Customer including costs of electrical power; (e) pay the principal and interest on any bonded
debt for capital improvements and any bond redemption costs; (f) pay ordinary administration and
maintenance exp~ of the District; (g) pay the cost of construction of new capital improvements;
(h) pay the cost of maintenance and operation of all capital improvements; and (i) set aside funds for
the funding of a prudent reserve. Said Ordinance provides that for each acre foot of water actually
delivered and accepted as reflected by the records of the measurements of deliveries made pursuant
to a meter installed by the Customer, that the Customer will pay to the District for purchase of such
water supply a rate equivalent to the District's actual cost per acre foot computed on the basis set
forth above multiplied by the amount of water delivered by the District to each such Customer's
Service Connection as measured by that Customer's meter for that service connection on a monthly
basis; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance Number 00-1 Article 7 Billing provides that the District will bill
Customers on the first day of each month for water sold and delivered to the Customer pursuant to
the meter readings on that Customer's Service Connection during the immediately preceding month,
which bills for sale and delivery of water become delinquent on the twenty-fifth day following the
billing date at which time the District shall send a notice to the Customer advising the Customer that
water supply and delivery will be discontinued if full payment is not received within five (5) days; and
WHEREAS, each Customer of the District entitled to receive water will be required to
execute a Water Supply Agreement with the District which provides that the Customer will be
required to make payments for delivery of water supply by the District based on the quantity of water
delivered to that Customer's Service Connection as measured by water meter readings at that
Page 2 of 4
Customers' Service Connection, multiplied by the price per acre foot of water as calculated pursuant
to the provisions of this Resolution, Ordinance Number 00-1, and each such Water Supply
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the District has approved the District's Budget for fiscal year 2004-05 consisting
of all antidpated expenses as described herein and all anticipated revenues from water sales; and
WHEREAS, the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, and approval of rates
for sale of water is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8); and
WHEREAS, the cost per acre foot of water to be delivered by the District to each Customer
in fiscal year 2004-05 specified in this Resolution does not exceed the reasonable anticipated costs
incurred by the District in providing water supply to its Customers. Furthermore, said water rate is
established for all Customers who voluntarily execute a Water Supply Agreement with the District
based on each such Customer's consumptive use based upon readings from water meters installed by
each Customer at its Service Connection, and therefore, such water charges do not constitute
property related fees and charges and are not levied upon any person as an incident of property
ownership, and are therefore not subject to the substantive and procedural requirements of Article
13D of the California Constitution;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Board of Directors of the Mendocino County
Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District hereby orders as follows:
1. Effective Date
The effective date of the following rates, shall be July 1, 2004. The rate shall remain

Dear Water Users and Land Owners:
The Board of Trustees of the Mendocino County Russian River Flood Control and Water
Co~on Improvement District. has held the rights to 8,000 acre feet of water in Lake Mendocino
for many years. During those years, our District has provided its water for the benefit of all types of
water uso~' and land uses within our.District's boundaries. This water has created thousands ofjobs
· and remains the catalyst for significant economic growth in our County.
Unfortunately, the water supply that all of us have relied upon for so long is on the verge of being
over-committed. Reduction in summer river flows to respond to "endangered species" issues have
been called for in the future by federal regulatory agencies. Reductions in the Eel River water from
the Potter Valley project (that Russian River diverters have long relied on) have been ordered by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The need to guarantee secure and reliable long-term
sources of water for our residents, businesses, and agricultural concerns is now paramount.
As a result of these grave and significant circumstances, and in our continuing effort to protect our
historic water rights and our water users, our Board of Trustees has decided to consider entering into
fixed water supply contracts with the users of our District's water resources. As you may know, our
District's Ordinance and Resolutions, and our ri~t to let contracts for our water, has been confirmed
by the Mendocino County Superior Court, the Court of Appeals in San Francisco, and the California
Supreme Court. We are sending this letter to you to fully insure that you are aware of this process
at the earliest time and to invite you to review the attached uniform "draft contract."
The"dratt contract" has been prepared as a Proposed standard and uniform contract that would be
used by each and every water user in our District. Our Board does not intend to include "special
provisions" or"special cir~ce" language to satisfy individuals, engineers, or attorneys requests
because our Board intends for all users to be. treated impartially, uniformly, equally, and fairly.,
Further, we fully intend to avoid any and all assertions of favoritism or undue influence that might
lead to litigation that would undermine our efforts to preserve our water and its availability to our
citizens. We ask and expect that you review this draft contract with this concept of uniformity and
standardization in mind.
Our Board desires, above'all things, to protect our water supply and rights for the fifll benefit and use
of you, our citizens. Over the next two mon.ths~ we will be holding public discussions about the
contracts, as well as public hearings regarding specific aspects of these agreements. We encourage
and respectfully request your cooperation and participation, and ask that you recognize that we will
~ ~tee Prm/de~ /Ireasurer llrustee Trustee
Judy Hatch Tom Ashurst Bill Townsend ' Tom Mon Pere Bob Wood
be taking these actions to guarantee and maximize the preserVation and protection of our District's
water lights and mpplies for all of the historic water users within our boundaries and our designated
places of use.
Please direct any and all questions that you may have during this time to Barbara Spazek, our
Executive Director, at (707) 462-5278.
Sincerely,
Judy Hatch
President

MODIFICATIONS TO WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT
RECITALS:
B. Adds reference to "consumptive use" to make clear that use of the 8000 acre foot
reservation of "Project Water" is not based solely on the amount diverted but includes
credit for return flows.
C. Adds that Project Water has been either the sole source of water used by District
customers or a supplement to other water rights held by customers.
D. Modifies to make clear that the District "expects to use" its entire allocation of
Project Water rather than state that it is already using that allocation. Until the District
actually calculates the use, hopefully including a credit for return flows, it should not
make a statement that it is already using all the water it has a right to.
E - F. Modifies to provide that water meters will aid in measuring water use rather than
be the sole measure of water use and to recognize consumptive use rather than just
diversion. This modification reflects the possibility that return flows would be added to
the calculation.
G. Deletes language requiring the customer to waive any right to challenge the ordinance
and resolution adopted by the District establishing fees for water provided under the
contract. There is no reason why a customer should give up the right to challenge the
amount charged as fees, if it has legal grounds to challenge them.
J. Modifies to avoid references to the District "delivering" water to the customer and
changes those references to a customer's "use" of District water. The District does not
operate facilities for delivering water. The contract simply entitles a customer to divert
water from the Russian River and to report that use under the District's permit.
AGREEMENT
SECTION 1. DELIVERY OF PROJECT WATER
1. As proposed, the District would "cause to be delivered" to the customer "up to" a
maximum number of acre feet of Project Water. The customer agrees to install a meter to
measure its "use" of Project Water. The customer also agrees "to pay for, divert, use and
consume" the water delivered by the District.
This section modified to provide that the customer is authorized to use an amount of
Project Water specified in an Exhibit A, attached to the contract. The customer agrees to
pay for, use and consume the amount of water it actually diverts, less an allowance for
return flows that the parties agree to exist. The customer agrees to install a water meter
to aid in the measurement of this water use. There are two proposed exhibit A's: one for
customers with independent water rights and one for customers who do not have
independent rights. The Exhibit A for customers with their own permits uses two
monitoring wells to provide a "hydrologic trigger" to indicate when the customer is using
Project Water rather than water under its own permit. When the hydrostatic level in the
wells is at or below a specified level, the customer is deemed to be using Project Water.
The Exhibit states the maximum amount of Project Water available to the customer each
year and the cost per acre foot of water actually consumed.
For customers who do not have their own permits, Exhibit A specifies the maximum
amount of water available to the customer each year and the amount per acre foot
charged for water diverted and consumptively used by the customer.
2. Changes "diverted" to "used."
3. Changes "delivered" to the customer's Service Connection to "diverted" by Customer
at its Service Connection.
4. Changes "diverted" to "used" and requires "reasonable notice" of inspection of
meters rather than inspections without notice.
5. Rewritten for clarity without changing substance.
6. Changed to allow for calculation of use of Project Water, taking return flows into
account, and adding protections for customers with facilities used to divert water
pursuant to their own water rights permits.
SECTION 2. PER ACRE FOOT PURCHASED PRICE TO BE CHARGED
7. Modified to refer to Exhibit A. Without amendments to paragraph 1, this paragraph
7 is contradictory, because it requires the customer to pay for water actually diverted,
while paragraph 1 as proposed by the District requires the customer to use and pay for
the acre feet reserved to it.
8. As proposed this paragraph does not require the customer to use water reserved for it.
However, after the first year and every year after that, any of the reserved water not used
in the prior year is recaptured by the District and allocated to new customers. As revised,
this recapture provision would not apply to customers with independent water rights who
only use Project Water when there is not sufficient water available under their own
permits.
SECTION 3. TERM.
9. As written the contract has a five year term, which is automatically extended for one
year beyond the term, unless either party gives five year's prior notice to terminate it. As
revised, after five years, the agreement is automatically extended for additional one year
terms, unless either party terminates with 90 days prior notice.
SECTION 5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO DISTRICT'S OBLIGATIONS
12. Deletes unnecessary verbiage to shorten and clarify paragraph. Does not make
substantive changes.
SECTION 6- PERMITS AND AUTHORIZATIONS
17. As proposed protects District's water right. Adds parallel provision protecting
customer's water right. Deletes statement that reservation of water for customer under
the contract is evidence that customer has actually used that water.
SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF CUSTOMER.
22. Deletes statement that customer acknowledges the right of District to acquire
additional water rights, etc. Deleted to eliminate any implication that customer is
waiving a right to object to future unknown actions by District.
23. Excess verbiage deleted for clarity without changing substance of paragraph.
SECTION 9 - REDUCTIONS OF WATER SUPPLY IN EVENT OF SHORTAGE
CONDITIONS.
28. As written allows District to reduce allocations in a water shortage condition "in the
sole exercise of its discretion." Changed to require the District to exercise its discretion
reasonably. Also changed to provide for prorated reductions of customer allocations in a
water shortage condition, if necessary, to accommodate the use of water by customers
with independent water rights. This change recognizes that more customers will use
District water in normal and most dry year conditions, because customers with
independent water rights can rely on their own permits during those periods. In exchange
for having water available in normal and most dry water years, these same customers will
have to reduce their water use in some dry and in critically dry years to accommodate the
use of Project Water by customers who have their own permits but who need Project
Water in these periods.
SECTION 11- DEFAULT AND SECTION 12-REMEDIES
32 - 35. As proposed by District these provisions only describe defaults by the customer
and remedies available to the District in the event of a customer default. These
provisions have been re-written to make them reciprocal, describing defaults by both the
District and the customer and remedies available to both the District and the customer in
the event of a default (breach of the agreement) by the other party.
SECTION 13 -INDEMNIFICATION
36-38. As proposed by District, the customer agrees to indemnify the District against any
claim or cost resulting from the breach of the agreement by customer and the delivery of
water by District to customer. Indemnification includes paying the District's attomeys
fees and other costs fees plus any settlement or judgment. District agrees to indemnify
customer for any breach of the agreement by District. These paragraphs changed to make
the indemnification obligations reciprocal for customer and District and to limit the
obligation to claims for personal injury or property damage which are caused by the
negligent or willfully wrongful act of a party.
The proposed indemnification provision confuses indemnity with breach of contract. By
requiring indemnification for breaches of contract, the agreement greatly expands the
liability of a party to the contract. The changes limit indemnification obligations to the
typical situation where on party is sued by someone suffering personal injury or property
damage because of the negligence or willful tort of the other party.

WATER SUPPLY AGREEMENT
THIS WATER SUPPLY AGREEMENT (Agreement), entered into as of the latest
of the dates shown opposite the signatures of the Parties to this Agreement, is made by
and between (Insert Name) (hereinafter "Customer") and
MENDOClNO COUNTY RUSSIAN RIVER FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER
CONSERVATION IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT organized and operating pursuant to

SECTION 14 - DEFENSE OF CLAIMS
39. No right to indemnification under the preceding paragraph shall be available
unless the Party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") shall have given to
the Party obligated to provide indemnification (the "lndemnitor") a notice (a "Claim
Notice") describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for
indemnification hereunder promptly after receipt of knowledge of the facts upon which
such claim is based. Any delay or failure to so notify the Indemnitor shall relieve the
Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by
reason of such delay or failure. Upon receipt by the Indemnitor of a Claim Notice from
an Indemnified Party with respect to a claim of a third party, such Indemnitor shall
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof
and shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend all such
conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably
requested by the Indemnitor in connection therewith. If the Indemnitor assumes such
defense as provided above~-(a), the Indemnitor shall have the right in its sole
discretion, to settle any claim for which indemnification has been sought and is available
hereunder, provided the Indemnified Party is fully released from all known and unknown
claims of such third party and the Indemnified Party is not obligated to perform any
actions or pay any money on account of such settlement. If the Indemnitor does not
assume such defense as provided above: (a) The Indemnified Party shall have the right
to employ its own counsel in any such case, and all of the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be the responsibility of Indemnitor which hereby agrees to promptly
reimburse the Indemnified Party fully for such expenses; and (b) the Indemnified Party
shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to settle any claim for which indemnification
has been sought and is available hereunder, at the expense of Indemnitor, who hereby
agrees to promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party all costs and expenses incurred by
the Indemnified Party with respect to such settlement.

RE: Proposed Draft Water Agreement
Dear Judy:
Thank you for the opportunity to speak at the public hearing on September 13. The
Flood Control District has a daunting task - to protect the water resources of the Ukiah &
Sanel Valleys. Fetzer Vineyards appreciates the effort you and the board put into this
task and, along with other constituents, we offer our assistance. To this end, we have
prepared the following comments on the water agreement, both general and specific.
In general, the apparent adversarial relationship between the Flood Control District and
its constituents is worrisome. At the public hearing, Marc Del Piero did the District's
Board a great disservice. Rather that showing your constituents a modicum of respect,
which would have helped gain buy-in on the agreement and the process, Mr. Del Piero's
flip attitude and arrogance, only created distrust. This distrust will over-shadow the
process and the end purpose - - to protect our water resources.
Fetzer Vineyards and the District have a mutual goal of maximizing our water resources.
This goal is shared by all of your constituents. I was greatly impressed by the City of
Ukiah bringing in the firm of Wagner-Bonsignore Engineers, not to hinder the process,
but to offer new information based on empirical data and standard hydro-geological
principals. This was done at the City's expense and with the hope of benefiting the entire
Valley.
The District's Board, lawyer, and Executive Director discounted the study immediately,
saying that the Board's engineers disagreed with Wagner-Bonsigonre's findings. This
raised several questions that went unanswered: Have the District's engineers studied the
Wagner-Bonsignore model?; If so, with what in particular did they disagree?, Where are
the District's engineering studies?; and May I review theses studies?

Allowing these questions to go unanswered allows the distrust to fester and again
shadows the credibility of the process. Additionally, not bringing all engineers together
to consider all available information creates a flawed process and makes it impossible to
achieve our mutual goal of protecting and maximizing the Valley' s water resources.
In addition to the general concerns expressed above about the District's process, I have
the following concerns regarding the drat~ water agreement:
Recitals Part J - the water rights of the District are specifically protected; the
customer's rights are not. A similar protection should be included for the customer's
water rights
Recitals- a recital should be included that acknowledges that Customer has its own
water rights from the State Water Resources Control Board pursuant to which it
diverts water from the River.
Section 1, part 1 - 1. Should provide that the specified quantity of water will be delivered annually.
2. The District's water year is not defined.
Section 1, part 2 - Customer will agree that it does not gain any legal or equitable
right by virtue of the agreement, but retains any rights its has under the law, and the
agreement should specify this.
Section 1, part 5-
1. This section should clarify that if water is not delivered Customer has no duty
to pay for it.
2. There should be some duty on the district to try to mitigate the impacts of any
of the causes of shortages described in this section.
Section 2, part 7 -
1. Fetzer Vineyards has requested, when available, a copy of the District's
financial audit and budget.
2. Clarification is needed: is the Customer billed for our full allotment whether
or not the full allotment is diverted.
3. The agreement should specify the procedure by which the District will
establish the annual "per acre foot charge". This procedure should include an
annual noticed public hearing and publication of the proposed annual "per
acre foot purchase price to be charged".
4. Shouldn't the net "cost of administration" include funds received from
property assessments, LAFCO, grants, and other sources?
5. The annual "per acre foot charge'~ should have some restrictions on how much
it can be increased in any given year. I have attached some suggested
language.
Mendocino County Russian River Flood Control
& Water Conservation Improvement District
September 14, 2004
Page 3
Section 2, part 8-
1. Clarification is needed: how is the monthly invoice (acre-feet diverted) to be
developed?
2. Clarification is needed: isn't District water irrigation water and therefore only
available from May to October?
3. The method of calculating total annual use of District water seems inadequate
and likely to result in errors.
4. Reducing a customer's water allotment based on 1 year of data is unwarranted
and inconsistent with the California law granting water users five years before
water is deemed to be abandoned. Wouldn't using the state-accepted 5-year
average be more accurate?
5. The contract seems to have a 'use it or loose it mentality." Won't this
encourage customers to over-use water?
6. This section mentions the "resell of Project Water", does this mean that
Customer's have the ability to resell their allocation of water if they cannot
use it in any given year?
Section
5, part 12-
1. The condition precedent of meter installation should be expressly waived if
the Customer akeady has a meter installed at its diversion point.
2. Who will determine if the SWRCBs approval is needed?
3. Clarification needed: this section does not define the "Project" that would be
4. subject to CEQA. I am assuming that it is the act of the District entering into
contracts, not any individual contract. This section should provide the method
by which the District will notify the Customer that the conditions have been
satisfied.
Section 5, part 14 - What is the process for having conditions waived?
Section 6, part 16 - The District should have a duty to defend against its water rights
being reduced or modified by the SWRCB or a court.
Section 8, part 24 - Fetzer Vineyards is not a public water agency.
Section 9, part 28 -
1. Clarification needed: determining a shortage condition is in the District's
sole opinion. Are there any checks? What data will be used to determine a
shortage condition? This seems arbitrary; determination of a shortage should
be made at a public hearing so that customers have input.
2. Section 9 should provide that during a shortage period Customer is required to
pay only for water received.

& Water Conservation Improvement District

Section 9, part 30 - The District should have an obligation to defend against the types of
adverse rulings set forth in this section. Specifically, District should not be allowed to
"consent" to any determination that it is not using its water.
Section 10, part 31 - Before we can agree to the requirement imposed in this Section to
adopt a water conservation plan that "shall mandate and utilize California development,
domestic, agricultural and irrigation water conservation guidelines, including..
.agricultural irrigation conservation techniques as recognized by the California
Department of Food and Agriculture", we must be aware of what these techniques are. I
am not aware of any water conservation guidelines developed by the California
Department of Food and Agriculture, and more information on what the Distirct will
require in these plans is needed.

agreement. Please feel free to contact Susanne at 744-7589 or by email at

Ukiah, CA 95482
Dear Chairman Wagenet:
This letter is prepared in response to the correspondence forwarded to your office by Susanne
Zechiel dated September 20, 2004. It is sufficient to say that Ms. Zechiel's slanted perception of
the Flood Control District's meetings, and the conduct of the Board members, is radically
different from the majority of participants. Ms. Zechiel appears to not understand the difference
between disagreement and disrespect.
The Board of Trustees, for the second time in four years, began the process of offering written
water agreements for the District's water in July of this year. Between mid July and mid August,
over 110 copies of the draft agreements were distributed to the City of Ukiah, the Farm Bureau,
and every other known historic user of the District's water. Further, each entity was invited to
present testimony and comments or suggestions on the draft at the Board's noticed public hearing
on September 13. It should be noted that, although such a heating on draft language is not even
required by law, the Board of Trustees posted full public notice and fully complied with all Brown
Act requirements to assure the maximum public participation possible. We point this out because
Ms. Zechiel seems to think that just because she didn't "get her way" that the credibility of the
District is in question. It should be noted that three years ago her employer openly opposed the
initial effort to establish defined water contracts and allocations for water it has historically
received for free from the District's supplies.
The hearing on September 13 was open to all members of the public. Prior to that public hearing,
a subcommittee of the Board met with the City of Ukiah at a separate meeting to discuss these
important issues. Additionally, on the day of the hearing, the Board afforded the City's engineers
the opportunity to put on a full presentation on the City's position. You are invited to listen to
the tapes of all of these meetings to confirm the truthfulness of these representations.

On September 13, many people presented comments on the drat~ agreements. Of the over 110
entities who were personally noticed, only four objected to the agreements: Ms. Joan Prati, the
City of Ukiah, the Redwood Valley County Water District, and Ms. Zechiel. Ms. Prati accused
the Board of Trustees and its counsel of being "disingenuous and liars" immediately at, er the
heating was opened and the drat~ agreement was presented for discussion. Beyond that, Ms. Prati
offered no substantive comments. She also previously opposed water contracts because she did
not want to pay for her allocation. Perhaps this is the "considerable lack of respect and
arrogance" that Ms. Zechiel is referring to in her letter.
The Redwood Valley County Water District representative objected because guaranteed water
contracts to landowners and taxpayers within the boundaries of the Russian River Flood Control
District will reduce the amount of surplus water that Redwood can sell for profit. It should be
noted that Redwood has not paid our District for any of our water that it has pumped and used
for over two years.
The City of Ukiah requested that our Board adopt a policy that would give them "most favored
nation" status in drought years. It asked that our Board take water away from farmers in dry
years to allow the City "more flexibility" in pursuing new developments. The Board chose to
reject this proposal because of its inherent unfairness to our valley's agricultural industry.
Finally, after making her comments at the public heating, Ms. Zechiel indicated she would
respond further in writing. She was given ample time to make her public presentation during the
public hearing and again, a review of the tapes will prove the truthfulness of this statement.
After all members of the public had presented their comments, I, as Chair of the Board, asked
repeatedly if"there are any other comments." When there was no further response, the public
hearing was closed.
On September 17, our Board held its next meeting to consider the draft agreement language in
light of the comments made at the prior public hearing and in subsequent written correspondence
that we accepted and responded to, in writing, even up to 5:00 p.m. on September 16. Ms.
Zechiel received, by both fax and hand-delivery, a detailed, point-by-point response to her written
letter that was prepared by the District's counsel. This can hardly be construed, as Ms. Zechiel
asserts, as arrogant, disrespectful, or actions that weaken the credibility of our Agency. A copy
of that response is herewith attached.
You will note that our written response addressed virtually every issue raised by Ms. Zechiel
except for her request for delay in taking action. A copy of the water agreement language,
including the mandatory section on water conservation from each of our District's water users, is
also enclosed.

The major public policy issues included and addressed in our Board's actions can no longer be
swept under the mg or delayed particularly in the face of threatened and limited water supplies in
our watershed. Our District is vigorously acting to protect our historic water rights and the users
of our water to the maximum extent possible.
We hope this correspondence clarifies this issue.

Honorable Hal Wagenet, Chairperson
Board of Supervisors
Mendocino County
501 Low Gap Road, Room 1090
Ukiah, CA 95482
Dear Mr. Wagenet:
On September 28, 2004, the City of Ukiah received a copy of the letter to you, dated
September 21, 2004, from Judy Hatch, Chairperson, Russian River Flood Control and
Water Conservation Improvement District ("Flood Control District"). That letter
responds to a letter from Susanne Zechiel of Fetzer Vineyards about the recent actions of
the Flood Control District in approving a standard form Water Supply Agreement.
I have been requested by the City Manager to explain why the City has a different
perception of the Flood Control District's recent actions than is portrayed in the District's
letter.
First, the City notes that although the Flood Control District responds to Ms. Zechiel's
letter, she is not listed as a recipient of a copy of the letter, which in itself reflects a
certain lack of courtesy on the part of the District, despite its protestations to the contrary.
Second, the facts do not support the Flood Control District's effort to portray itself as
having done all it could to solicit, consider and respond to public comment on the draft
water supply agreement.
The District says that it began the process of soliciting public comment on the agreement
in July. It is true that the City was able to obtain a copy of the draft contract in July.
However, the District did not distribute the draft agreement for public comment until
August 17, 2004, when it wrote the enclosed letter to "Water Users and Land Owners."
As you can see from that letter, the District promised to conduct multiple public hearings
over a period of two months. Instead, in a period ofjust one month (August 17 to
September 17), the District conducted a single, public hearing, lasting a little more than
an hour, followed four days later by a special meeting conducted at 6 p.m. on a Friday.
In addition, two District Board members and its attorney met with City representatives on
August 31, 2004, and a City engineering consultant was allowed to make a ½ hour
presentation to the full Board an hour before the public hearing held on September 13.

At the conclusion of the public hearing on September 13, the District's Board was asked:
"What happens next?" The response gave the impression that there would be additional
oppommities to comment. Certainly, no mention of a special meeting four days later was
made.
The timing of this surprise "special meeting" allowed little time for additional written
comments from members of the public, even though one or two managed to submit some
abbreviated comments.
The public received less than two days notice of the special meeting and no one saw the
proposed changes to the contract until that meeting was convened. Because of the short
notice and the beginning of the weekend, few attended the-meeting. Those who did were
not permitted to make .further comment on the draft agreement, even if they had not
attended the public heating four days earlier. Few could intelligently comment on the
contract changes which they had just seen for the first time and which they had not had
an oppommity to review with their legal and other advisers.
On September 9, 2004, in anticipation of the public hearing on September 13, the City
submitted to the District a redlined revised Contract with changes on 16 of the 19 pages
of the agreement. No comment was made by District representatives at the public
hearing on any of these proposed changes. The City received no written response to any
of them or any explanation from the District about why none of them was adopted by the
District's Board of Directors.
Contrary to the District's statement about Ms. Zechiel, the City does not confuse
disagreement with disrespect. It did not expect the District to adopt all of its proposals.
However, the Board apparently confuses providing an abbreviated single opportunity for
members of the public to comment on the draft water supply agreement with a
meaningful consideration of those comments. The deficiencies on the part of the District
involve both attitude and process.
The letter to you illustrates the District's attitude. Contrary to the statement in the letter
many more than four persons submitted comments on the draft contract. However, the
letter dismisses every comment it acknowledges receiving based on a characterization of
the motives of the party making the comment. Either the party just wants to continue
receiving water from the District for free or, as in the City's case, it just wants a "most
favored nation" status to take water away from farmers in dry years so that the City can
approve more development in the City.
This characterization of the comments illustrates the difference between an opportunity to
comment and actually listening to and considering the comments. It also reflects an
adversarial approach which does not promote cooperation and positive working
relationships.

The City did not propose taking water away from farmers to allow for more development
in the City, and the District would know this, if it had listened to the City's presentation.
On the contrary, the City objected to a use-it-or-lose-it feature of the draft contract that
would force any District customer with independent water fights (not just the City) to use
District water when it is not needed in normal and even dry years in order to keep that
water available when it is needed in dry or critically dry years. This provision in the
contract will actually deprive farmers of water who need it and could use it under most
water conditions and will discourage, if not prevent conservation.
Moreover, this same provision will force customers like the City with independent water
rights to report more usage under the District's permit, which may reduce the amount of
water they can report and perfect under their own permitsr. -This consequence could result
in water users in Mendocino County losing the right to Russian River water to users
downstream in Sonoma County. Far from protecting and enhancing Mendocino County
water'rights, this feature of the draft contract undermines the perfection of those rights.
Finally, the City encouraged the District to take full advantage of a unique and an
important condition in its water rights permit. That condition measures use under the
permit by depletion by consumptive use rather than by simple diversion. Using this
measure, the District only uses its 8000 acre foot allotment, when the water is actually
consumed, subtracting water that returns to the river after it has been diverted. This
would require more sophisticated calculations than are proposed by the District to
measure water use, but it could make substantial additional water available for use under
the District's permit. The City has offered to have its engineering consultants, who
specialize in hydrology and water management, provide information and assistance to the
District on this issue. Nevertheless, without any investigation and based on unwritten
casual comments by its engineer, the District has categorically rejected even exploring
this option.
These proposals are intended to make more water available to farmers and other water
users; not to take water away. Nevertheless, the District's Board has rejected them
without any extended discussion or exploration of alternatives to its draft water supply
contract, which, in the end, is presented on a take-it-or-leave it basis, despite the pretence
of considering public comments.
Such treatment of the District's constituents does not reassure the public that the District
has carefully considered these issues. In fact, it creates the opposite impression.
When the District receives public comments or suggested contract revisions, an effort
could and should have been made to fully explore that material and to engage in a give-
and-take exchange. The District should have allowed ample time for an exchange of
drafts and responses to drafts. Such exchanges might have convinced the District to
make requested changes, provided a means for agreeing on compromise language that
may satisfy the interests of the District and those submitting the comments or revisions,
or satisfied the commenter that the District's original proposal was best.

At least, if that effort had been undertaken, the City and the farmers would feel like they
were on the same side as the District and engaged in a collaborative effort. After all, the
City and the water districts actually pump, treat and deliver water to consumers and the
farmers actually use the District's water to create crops and jobs in the County. They
would like to think that they share a common goal with the District to protect and
enhance water fights in Mendocino County. Any disagreements over how to do that best
should be discussed and worked out on a cooperative basis.
Instead, the District seems to prefer treating its customers as adversaries and to question
their motives, when they propose changes to the draft contract. The District's letter is the
best evidence of the problem and certainly does clarify this issue.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION OF SELECTION OF REPLACEMENT TRASH AND
RECYCLING RECEPTACLES AND BICYCLE RACKS FOR DOWNTOWN
During previous discussions, Council indicated a desire to replace the existing trash and
recycling receptacles with a more decorative style. Council also requested bike racks to
be purchased for the municipal parking lots. There are currently 18 downtown street
corner locations at which trash and recycling receptacles are placed. There are an
additional six receptacles in Thomas Plaza. All of these receptacles are a sandstone color
and masonry construction. Council has requested a design more consistent with the
benches recently placed on School Street.
Attachment #1 includes several samples of decorative receptacles, which are available in
a number of colors and materials. The majority of these designs are metal, however,
options for simulated wood made of recycled plastic are also included. Matching recycling
receptacles are also available. The cost per receptacle should range between $250 and
$500 depending on design and quantity ordered.
(Continued On Pa,qe 2)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: After discussion of receptacle and bicycle rack design
options provide direction to staff.

Provided in Attachment #2 are examples of bicycle racks, which range from multiple bikes to
single "hitching" post style. Staff's conversations with various vendors indicate the "wave" style
rack provides a greater level of security as opposed to the standard slot rack. With the wave
rack cyclists can secure the entire frame of the bike to the rack more easily. With the standard
slot rack the wheel of the back can simply be unbolted and the bike then stolen. The hitching
post style will allow for two bike frames to be locked to the post, one bike per side. The cost of
bike racks is based upon the capacity of the rack.
Though the funding for the purchase of this equipment is through the Redevelopment Agency,
this item is being presented to Council for discussion and to provide direction to staff. Should
Council determine its preference for a particular design, staff will proceed to secure bids and
return to the Redevelopment Agency for consideration of purchase.

ITEM NO.
DATE: October 6, 2004
REPORT
SUBJECT: RECEIPT OF FIFTH FISCAL YEAR REPORT AND DETERMINATION OF
FINDINGS WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL PARK
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FEE ACCOUNT
Submitted for the City Council's review and action is the Fifth Fiscal Year Report (the
Report) for the Airport Industrial Park Capital Improvement Fee Account (the Account).
The Mitigation Fee Act (the Act) requires the City Council to make certain findings (the
Findings) with respect to the unexpended portions of the capital improvement fees
collected and deposited into the Account, whether committed or uncommitted, for the
fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the Account and every five years
thereafter. The Act also requires the City Council to review the Report at a regularly
scheduled public meeting no sooner than 15 days from the date the Report became
available for review by the public. The Report was available for review on Friday,
September 17, 2004, and a notice of the time and place of the public meeting for the
review of the Report was prepared in accordance with the Act. Although, no interested
parties had submitted written requests to receive the notice as required by the Act, a
courtesy notice was mailed to the Redwood Business Park Developer, Gary Akerstrom.
The first fee was remitted on June 12, 1997 and the report covers the period between
and including the date on which the Airport Industrial Park Capital Improvement Fee
(AlP CIF) was established, May 7, 1997 and the 2003-2004 fiscal year.
The Findings to be made by the City Council in accordance with the Act are to address
the following:
1. Identify the purpose to which the capital improvement fee is to be put.
2. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for
which it is charged.
Continued on Page 2
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive and Review the Fifth Fiscal Year Report as
required by the Mitigation Fee Act and make the recommended findings presented in
this Agenda Summary Report.

3. Identify all sources and amounts of the funding needed to complete the financing
of the incomplete portions of the public improvements identified in the capital
improvement fee program.
4. Designate the approximate dates when the identified sources are expected to be
deposited into the fund.
The supporting information necessary to make the findings is presented in the Report
under headings corresponding with the findings to be made. The recommended
specific Findings are:
Finding No. 1: Purpose of the Capital Improvement Fee.
"The purpose of the Airport Industrial Park Capital Improvement Fee is to finance the
design and construction of public improvements (mitigation improvements) needed to
mitigate traffic impacts to three (3) identified off-site intersections resulting from
increased traffic generated by new development within the Industrial Park."
The impacts to the three offsite intersections are summarized in Attachment "B" of the
Report in terms of reductions in level of service by reason of the increased traffic. The
impacted off-site locations, the needed mitigation improvements at the impacted
locations, and the cost to construct the mitigation improvements are summarized in
Attachments "C", "D", "E", and "F" to the Report, and pertinent information is presented
in the Report beginning on page 2.
Finding No. 2: Demonstrate the relationship between the capital improvement fee and
the purpose for which it is charqed.
"The capital improvement fee established for each of the seven (7) land uses authorized
within the Airport Industrial Park by Ordinance No. 1024 was determined from the future
value of the estimated cost of the mitigation improvements, the percent of traffic
generated by each land use type, and the amount of acres reserved for each land use."
Details of the relationship between the fee and its purpose are presented in the Report
beginning on page 5 and summarized in Attachments "G", "H", and "1".
Finding No. 3: Identify the fundinq sources and amounts needed to complete the
incomplete portions of the mitiqation improvements.
"There is a probability that there will be insufficient funds within the Account to finance
the mitigation improvements exclusively with capital improvement fees as originally
planned. The amount of funds needed from additional sources to complete the
mitigation improvements are dependent primarily on the type of development that will
occur within the undeveloped portion of the 32 acres currently zoned as Light
Manufacturing/Mixed Use, when the development will occur, and when the mitigation

improvements are to be constructed. Based on a revised cost estimate for the mitigated
improvements, an estimated amount of $576,113 will be required if the mitigation
improvements are constructed in 2006. A potential deficit of $35,693 is projected
forecasting mitigations constructed in 2006. As a result of the Settlement Agreement
between the City and the Redwood Business Park Developer, the City is committed to
contribute $184,276 towards the mitigation improvements. The City's contribution and
those funds needed to augment the funds within the Account may come from gas tax
funds, discretionary funds, and State or Federal grants."
The above calculations correspond to 2004 data reported in the second paragraph,
page 7 of the attached Report, escalated by 4% for each of the two years. Further
details in support of making finding No. 3 are provided in the Report beginning on page
6 and attachment "K" of the Report.
Finding No. 4: Desiqnate the approximate dates when the identified sources are
expected to be deposited into the account.
"Based on an observed average development rate of 5.30 acres per year, it is projected
that the Airport Industrial Park will reach build out within ten (10) years, or 2014. Based
on findings presented in a Traffic Analysis Report prepared by W-Trans in September
2002, it is projected that the mitigation improvements will need to be constructed within
the next two years, prior to reaching build out of the AlP. Given these projections, funds
from additional sources will be needed to finance the construction of the mitigation
improvements. As stated in Finding No. 3 above, the amount of funds needed from the
additional funding sources is dependent on the type of development that will occur
within the undeveloped portion of the 32 acres currently zoned as Light
Manufacturing/Mixed Use and when that development occurs. It is the desire of the City
Council that funds expended from other sources excluding the City's commitment of
$184,276 be reimbursed or reallocated as permitted by law when capital improvement
fees are collected from AlP development that occurs subsequent to the construction of
the mitigation improvements."
Further details in support of making Finding No. 4 are provided in the report beginning
on page 7.
In conjunction with the presentation of the Fifth Fiscal Year Report, the following annual
financial information pertaining to the Account for the 2003-2004 fiscal year are as
follows:
1. Funds within the Account: The Account contains only monies received as capital
improvement fees imposed on development within the Airport Industrial Park.
2. The amount of the fees: The amount of the capital improvement fee is based on
land use, and the fees per acre for each land use as established by Resolution No.

This Fifth Fiscal Year for the Airport Industrial Park Capital Improvement Fee Account has been
prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements set forth in the Mitigation Fee Act
REPORTING PERIOD
This Fifth Fiscal Year Report covers the period between and including the date on which the
Airport Industrial Park Capital Improvement Fee was established, May 7, 1997, and the 2003-
2004 Fiscal Year.
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE AlP CIF
The Airport Industrial Park Capital Improvement Fees were established on May 7, 1997 with the
adoption of Resolution No. 97-70. The capital improvement fees were immediately imposed on
parcels being developed within the Airport Industrial Park with the adoption of Resolution No.
97-71 and collection was authorized the day following the adoption of Resolution No. 97-70.
The first fee was remitted on June 12, 1997.
The capital improvement fees were revised on September 1, 1999 with the adoption of
Resolution No. 2000-13. Prior to the adoption of Resolution No. 2000-13, fees totaling
$102,278.93 had been collected from five projects: Jack in the Box, Shell Service Station and
Mini Mart, LA-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, Staples, and the Mendocino Brewery and Bottling
Plant. Because of changed circumstances and engineering assumptions, the fees for each of
the seven (7) land uses within the Airport Industrial Park were reduced. Portions of the
collected fees totaling $46,647.34 were returned to the five property owners in accordance with
the provisions of the Mitigation Fee Act.
PURPOSE OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FEE
Capital improvement fees were imposed on development within the Airport Industrial Park for
the purpose of financing the design and construction of improvements needed to mitigate traffic
impacts to three off-site intersections resulting from increased traffic generated by new
development within the Industrial Park. The Airport Industrial Park is the area of the City of
Ukiah bounded on the west by the Northwestern Pacific Railroad right of way, on the north by
Talmage Road, and on the east and south by US 101 Highway. The three off-site intersections
significantly impacted by new traffic generated by the ^IP development are the US 101
Southbound off-ramp at Talmage Road, Talmage Road at Airport Park Boulevard, and Hastings
Avenue at South State Street. New development was defined as development occurring
subsequent to the Wal-Mart development further referred to in this report as "post Wal-Mart."
Impacts to two of the three off-site intersections were quantified as reductions in the level of
service (LOS) below the acceptable LOS D. A safety concern was identified for the US 101
Southbound off-ramp at Talmage Road and it was determined that additional traffic would
worsen the condition. The reductions in the level of service were presented in three separate
Traffic Analysis Reports prepared by W-Trans and dated March 1996, April 17, 1997, and June
1999.
The report prepared in 1996 was an independent traffic analysis of the impacted study
intersections identified in the Airport/Redwood Business Park Environmental Impact Report
prepared by Leonard Charles and Associates. Land uses identified for the AlP were restaurant,
office retail, industrial park, and retail. The 1996 Traffic Analysis Report estimated that the
proposed mixed-use development would generate an average of 2,209 pm peak-hour vehicle
trips consisting of 1,310 new/diverted trips external to the project area, 398 new trips internal to
the project, and 501 pass-by trips from traffic already existing on South State Street and
Talmage Road. It was estimated that the newly generated traffic would reduce the levels of
service for the northbound through/right and the westbound approaches at South Street and
Hastings Avenue from LOS C and B, respectively, to LOS F. At Airport Park Boulevard and
Talmage Road, the level of service for the left turn movements at the northbound and
westbound approaches would be reduced from a LOS C to LOS E for the northbound and LOS
F for the westbound approaches. At the US 101 Southbound off-ramp at Talmage, the level of
service would be reduced from C to F for the right turn movement.
The 1997 Traffic Analysis Report re-analyzed the impacts resulting from traffic generated by a
proposed mixed-use development within the AlP consisting of office retail, industrial park, auto
dealership, auto parts/auto care, retail, fast food restaurant, and gas station/mini-mart. In
addition, an analysis of pass-thru traffic was performed. The 1997 report estimated that the
proposed mixed-use development within the AlP would generate an average of 2,395 pm peak-
hour vehicle trips consisting of 1,568 new/diverted trips external to the AlP, 298 new internal
trips and 529 pass by trips from traffic already existing on South State Street and Talmage
Road. The estimated generated project traffic would reduce the level of service for the
eastbound and westbound approaches at the South State Street and Hastings Avenue
intersection from levels B and C, respectively, to levels of F. At Airport Park Boulevard and
Talmage Road, levels of service for the northbound and westbound left turn movements would
be reduced from LOS C to LOS F. At the US 101 Southbound off-ramp at Talmage Road, the
LOS for the right turn movement would be reduced from LOS B to level D. The information
presented in the 1997 Report and in the subsequent cost estimates for the construction of the
proposed mitigations was utilized to establish the AlP Capital Improvement Fees that were
adopted in 1997.
The 1999 Traffic Analysis report investigated potential traffic impacts that would result from
proposed zoning changes within the west portion of the AlP, south of Commerce Road. At the
time of the 1999 report, several developments within the AlP were completed consisting of the
Friedman Brothers Improvement Center, Shell Service Station and Mini Mart, Jack in the Box,
Food for Less, Staples, La-Z-Boy Furniture Gallery and the Mendocino Brewery and Bottling
Plant. The 1999 report estimated that the proposed mixed-use development including the
proposed rezone would generate an average of 2,696 pm peak-hour vehicle trips consisting of
1,980 new/diverted trips external to the project area, 466 new trips internal to the AlP and 716
pass-by trips from traffic already existing on South State Street and Talmage Road. The
estimated generated project traffic would reduce the LOS for the northbound through/right and
the eastbound and westbound approaches at the South State Street and Hastings Avenue
intersection from levels B, C, and F, respectively, to levels E, F, and F respectively. When the
1999 traffic data was taken, the LOS for the westbound approach had already reached a service
level of F. At Airport Park Boulevard and Talmage Road, levels of service for the northbound
right and the westbound left would be reduced from LOS C and B, respectively, to level F. Prior
to the completion of the 1999 report, the double left-turn lane for the northbound approach had
been installed and the northbound through movement had been eliminated. The level of service
for the southbound right turn movement at the US 101 Southbound off-ramp at Talmage Road
would be reduced from LOS B to LOS D. As previously stated, a safety concern at the off-ramp
would be exacerbated by the increase in traffic. The re-zone of the southerly west portion of the
AlP was approved with the adoption of Ordinance No. 1024 on November 3, 1999.
Those recommended improvements for the three impacted intersections that are common to the
three W-Trans Traffic Analysis Reports are the widening of Hastings Avenue at South State
Street to provide two lanes for the westbound approach which would include an exclusive left-
turn lane and a through/right lane, extending the two through lanes on South State Street north
of Hastings/Washington Street, re-striping the eastbound approach to provide a left-turn lane on
Washington Street, the installation of a second left-turn lane for both the westbound and
northbound traffic at Airport Park Boulevard and Talmage Road, and the construction of a
second westbound through lane on Talmage Road from Airport Park Boulevard to the
Southbound US 101 off-ramp. It was recommended in the 1997 report that the westbound
approach at Hastings Avenue and South State Street be widened sufficiently to provide
separate lanes for the left, through, and right turn movements. The recommended
improvements described in the 1999 Traffic Analysis Report are the adopted mitigation
improvements to be financed by the AlP Capital Improvement Fees.
As outlined and qualified in the 1999 Engineering Report prepared in support of the proposed
reduction in the AlP Capital Improvement Fees, it was estimated that the revised capital
improvement fees established by Ordinance No. 2000-13 would generate sufficient funds to
finance the mitigation improvements when imposed upon the undeveloped parcels in
accordance with the 1999 land use designations. The funds generated would also include
reimbursement to the City for the already completed traffic modifications consisting of the
second northbound left-turn lane and the corresponding engineering and re-signaling done at
Airport Park Boulevard and Talmage Road intersection.
When implemented, the improvements will restore the impacted traffic movements as previously
described to pre-project levels of service or to the minimum acceptable LOS D in all but one
traffic movement. At Hastings Avenue and South State Street, the northbound through/right, the
eastbound left/through/right and the westbound left/through/right would be restored from LOS E,
F, and F, respectively, to LOS B. However, the southbound left turn movement would be
reduced from a pre-mitigated, post-project LOS C to a level D with a small increase of 3
seconds to the signal cycle length. It was qualified in the 1999 traffic analysis report that should
the saturation flow rate be reduced to 1000 vehicles per hour from the assumed rate of 1700 for
the westbound Hastings's approach, the LOS for the westbound left and the through/right
movements would be restored to a LOS D with the implementation of the recommended
improvements as compared to a LOS B with a 1700 saturation flow rate.
At the Airport Park Boulevard and Talmage Road intersection, the levels of service for the
westbound left-turn lane would be restored to a LOS C from a pre-mitigated, post-project LOS
F. The northbound right turn movement would be improved to LOS E from a pre-mitigated,
post-project LOS F. The option for improving the LOS for this right-turn movement is limited
because the addition of a second northbound right-turn lane is not feasible as a result of the
short weave distance between the southbound US 101 on-ramp and Airport Park Boulevard.
The other vehicle movements would experience at a minimum a LOS D with the implementation
of the mitigation improvements.
At the US 101 southbound Off-ramp and Talmage Road, the visibility safety concern would be
mitigated with the addition of the second through lane on Talmage Road between the off-ramp
and Airport Park Boulevard
DEMONSTRATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ClF AND THE
PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS IMPOSED
Land development creates vehicular traffic and the amount of that increased traffic is dependent
on land use. The increased traffic impacts the street system by affecting or interrupting the flow
of traffic causing delays to the motorists. The interruption to flow may be caused by either the
increase in conflicting vehicular movements or an increase in the number of vehicles attempting
to occupy the same space or lane at the same time. Impacts to the street system caused by the
increased traffic can be mitigated by improving the system to allow the assignment of right of
way with the use of stop signs or traffic signals and/or by providing additional lanes for heavy
traffic movements at intersections. The greatest degree of impact to the street system occurs at
the system's peak use.
The Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 209, published by the Transportation Research
Board of the National Research Council, quantifies the quality of traffic flow into six (6) levels of
service with A as the highest level of flow and F as the worst operating condition. The HCM
provides analytical approaches for determining the level of service for road facilities that may
result under various traffic conditions and demands.
The Trip Generation Manual, 6th Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers
presents trip generation data for the purpose of estimating the number of trips that may be
generated by a specific land use. The average trip generation rates presented in the manual
represent weighted averages of studies collected throughout the United States and Canada
since the 1960's.
Through the use of the analytical methods presented in the Highway Capacity Manual and the
trip generation data by land use presented in the Trip Generation Manual, the amount of traffic
generated by new development and the impacts caused by the additional traffic can be
estimated and quantified. The analytical methods presented in the Highway Capacity Manual
and the trip generation rates by land use presented in the Trip Generation Manual were utilized
to produce the information presented in the Traffic Analysis Reports prepared by W-Trans.
The capital improvement fees established for each of the seven (7) land uses authorized within
the AlP by Ordinance No 1024 were determined from the future value of the estimated cost of
the mitigation improvements, the percent of traffic generated by each land use type, and the
amount of acres reserved for each land use. A portion of the total cost to construct the
mitigation improvements was assigned to each land use type based on the percent of total
traffic generated by the respective land use. The per acre capital improvement fee was
calculated by dividing the assigned improvement cost by the amount of acreage reserved for the
respective land use. The future value of the mitigation improvements was taken to 2004, the
estimated year of construction of the mitigation improvements.
The current per-acre capital improvement fee by land use in accordance with Resolution
No. 2000-13 are:
Gas Station/Mini-mart ........................ $36 122.91
Fast Food Restaurant ........................ $23 069.86
Retail .......................................... $7 077.77
Office/Retail .................................... $6,087.65
Auto Parts/Auto Care ..........................$7 643,36
Auto Dealership ................................ $4 998,90
Industrial ........................................ $2 341.91
IDENTIFICATION OF FUNDING SOURCES AND AMOUNTS NEEDED TO
COMPLETE THE INCOMPLETE PORTIONS OF THE MITIGATION IMPROVEMENTS
Given the remaining undeveloped parcels within the AlP, there is no opportunity to collect a
sufficient amount of capital improvement fees to finance the mitigation improvements
exclusively with capital improvement fees as originally planned. However, when considering the
City's financial commitment for 14 parcels within the AlP as a result of the Settlement
Agreement between the Redwood Business Park and the City of Ukiah, the difference between
the most probable cost of the mitigation improvements and the amount of funds available for
construction may only be in the order of $33,000 if the Industrial Park is fully developed at the
time the mitigation improvements are to be constructed
As of the date of this report, a total of $79,742.94 has been collected from .nine (9)
developments, and as of June 30, 2004 the unaudited balance within the AlP CIF Account is
$97,436.28. The 1999 cost estimate for the construction of the mitigation improvements in 2004
is $432,841. The AlP is 53.05% built out on 63.69 acres leaving 56.36 acres remaining to be
developed. As a result of the Settlement Agreement between the Redwood Business Park and
the City, the City is financially responsible for the capital improvement fees for 14 parcels upon
their development. These parcels are identified on Attachments "A" and "1" as 10, 13, 15, 26, 18,
20, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40. Of the 14 parcels, 5 parcels have been developed, the
Hampton Inn (10), Michael's Arts and Crafts (13), Food-for-Less (26), and Ken Fowler Motors
(36 and 40). The capital improvement fees for these 5 parcels total $87,452.72. For the
remaining 9 parcels consisting of 17.04 acres, the City will be responsible for covering
$96,822.99 in fees for a total financial commitment of $184,275.71.
Of the remaining 39.32 acres to be developed, 22.27 acres within the former Industrial/Mixed-
Use zone, now zoned as Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use pursuant to the recently adopted
Ordinance No. 1051, can be developed for retail use and 15.69 acres are reserved for industrial
use pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance No. 1024. Ordinance No. 1051 allows an additional
3.2 acres previously designated for industrial use to be developed as Light
Manufacturing/Mixed-Use. The affects of the approved rezoning under Ordinance No. 1051 will
be addressed in a separate and subsequent report to the City Council with a recommendation
for revised capital improvement fees.
Potentially, $217,800 of capital improvement fees can be assessed if all of the 25.47 acres
(22.27 + 3.2) zoned as Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use (formerly Industrial/Mixed-Use) is
developed as retail and the remaining 12.49 acres (15.69 - 3.2) is developed as industrial. This
development scenario would create a total balance of $315,236 in the AlP CIF Account,
excluding any interest accrued, creating a shortfall within the Account of $117,605 based on the
1999 cost estimate. However, with the addition of the City's financial commitment of
$184,275.71, a total of $499,512 could potentially be available creating a positive difference
between the funds available and the 1999 construction cost estimate. Under the current
development standards established by Ordinance No. 1051, allowed uses within the 32 acres
designated as Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use are light manufacturing, commercial, professional
office, and limited Iow density residential uses. The potential positive difference could decrease
should any potion of the Light Manufacturing/Mixed-Use zone develop under a land use less
intensive than retail (commercial).
The 1999 estimate for the construction of the mitigation improvements has been updated and
revised and it is estimated that $532,649 in 2004 dollars will be required for the construction of
the improvements. The revised estimate creates a potential deficit of $33,000 between the
funds available and the revised estimated construction cost. The revised estimate for the
mitigation improvements at Talmage Road and Airport Park Boulevard is considerably greater
than the 1999 estimate because a greater amount of street widening is needed to accommodate
CalTrans stipulated minimum lane widths and to accommodate a needed lane transition west of
Airport Park Boulevard for the outside westbound lane as a result of the different street widths
on the north side of Talmage Road.
Funds that the City must contribute and those funds needed to augment the Account to pay for
the mitigation improvements may come from gas tax funds, discretionary funds, and Federal or
State grants.. The amount of funds needed from other funding sources that exceed the City's
financial commitment for the 14 parcels is dependent primarily on the type development that will
be utilized within the undeveloped portion of the 32 acres designated as Light
Manufacturing/Mixed-Use and when the mitigation improvements are to be constructed.
Constructing the mitigated improvements prior to the Industrial Park being fully developed will
require a greater amount of funds from other sources and forgoing the construction of the
mitigation improvements will increase the construction cost as a result of inflation.
DESIGNATION WHEN THE MITIGATION IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE NEEDED
Post Wal-Mart development began in 1996 and it has taken eight (8) years to reach 53.05
percent of build out on 63.69 acres. Of the current built out acreage, 21.6 acres were already
developed prior to the establishment of the AlP capital improvement fees. Averaging the post
Wal-Mart development of 42.36 acres over eight (8) years creates an average development rate
of 5.30 aces per year. Applying this average to the remaining undeveloped acreage of 56.36
acres, the AlP would reach full build out within ten (10) years or 2014.
Based on findings from a Traffic Analysis Report prepared by W-Trans in September of 2002, it
is estimated that the mitigation improvements will need to be constructed prior to reaching full
build out of the AlP. At 53.05 percent of build out, several traffic movements at the intersections
of South State Street and Hastings Avenue and Talmage Road and Airport Park Boulevard are
at or near the lowest acceptable LOS D. Based on existing PM peak traffic volumes and the
observed average delay per vehicle, the westbound left turn traffic movement at Talmage and
Airport Park Boulevard has reached the lower range of LOS C (upper range of LOS D). The
eastbound left turn movement has a LOS D at the delay of 49.1 seconds per vehicle.
At the South State Street and Hastings Avenue intersection, the average LOS for the
intersection is at D. The southbound left is experiencing a delay of 114.8 seconds per vehicle
for a LOS of F. The eastbound left/through/right movements are at an LOS of E at 58.1
seconds of delay. The northbound left/through/right movements are at an LOS of D at 43.4
seconds of delay and the westbound left/through/right movements are at the LOS of C at 31.4
seconds of delay.
It is probable that the mitigation improvements for these two intersections will need to be
constructed within the next two years. The estimated cost of construction at these two off-site
locations is $439,454 in 2004 dollars or $475,314 in 2006 dollars assuming an inflation rate of 4
percent. Based on the current balance within the AlP CIF Account, approximately $377,878
from other fund sources including the City's financial commitment of $184,275 will be needed to
construct the mitigation improvements at Talmage/Airport Park Boulevard and South State
Street/Hastings Avenue assuming no additional capital improvement fees are collected before
the construction commences.
The mitigation improvement at Talmage Road and Airport Park Boulevard involves the widening
of Talmage on the north side to accommodate the additional westbound left-turn lane and to
facilitate the minimum lane widths as dictated by CalTrans. Since the mitigation improvement at
the southbound US 101 off-ramp at Talmage involves the widening of Talmage on the north
side to provide an exclusive lane for the right turning traffic, it is logical that the two mitigation
improvements requiring the widening of the north side of Talmage Road be constructed
concurrently. If the mitigation improvements at all three impacted off-site locations are to be
constructed in 2006, approximately $478,677 from other fund sources including the City's
financial commitment will be needed to augment the current funds within the AlP CIF Account.
THE AlP CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FEE ACCOUNT ANNUAL FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
For the 2003/2004 Fiscal Year, the beginning and ending fund balance for the AlP Capital
Improvement Fee Account are $84,161.59 and $97,436.28, respectively. Interest in the amount
of $2,331.53 was credited to the Account and $4,566.79 in capital improvement fees were
collected from the development on parcel no. 9 (the Fairfield Inn). During the last fiscal year, no
capital improvement fees were expended on the mitigation improvements nor on reimbursable
fund update activities and no interfund transfers or loans were made from the Account. Prior to
the 03/04 Fiscal Year, $19,991.31 of reimbursable expenses for engineering, construction, and
appraisal services were charged against the Account between October 1997 and June 1999.
As a result of the adoption of revised capital improvement fees in 1999, the amount of
$46,647.34 was reimbursed to five property owners who had paid the higher capital
improvement fees that were in effect in 1997.

Pass-Through Traffic
Pass-through traffic in the Airport Industrial Park was previously surveyed and presented in the
Airport/RedwoodBusiness Park Traffic Analysis dated April 17, 1997. The data revealed that during the p.m.
peak hour there are approximately 9 vehicles traveling in the northbound direction on Airport Park Boulevard
approaching Talmage Road and 24 vehicles traveling in the southbound direction on Airport Park Boulevard
leaving Talmage Road which are traveling through and not related to land uses within the new commercial area.
This pass-through traffic volume represents approximately 3 to 4 percent of the total traffic on Airport Park
Boulevard south of Talmage Road. This volume of traffic is considered insi~tmificant.

SUMMARY REPORT
SUB3ECT: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING FILLING A
VACANCY ON THE CITY COUNCIL
Councilmember Paul Andersen has announced that he will be vacating his position as of
October 31, 2004. The Council must now determine the process for filling the vacant
Council seat created by this change in position. The person selected would hold the seat
until November 2006. There are two options available for filling a vacant Council seat.
Within 30 days from the commencement of the vacancy:
1) The Council may call a special election to fill the vacancy. The election shall be
held on the next regularly established election date not less than :1.14 days from the
call of the special election, which would be March or June 2005, depending on
when the election was called. Participating in such an election would cost the City
an estimated $8,000-$25,000, depending on whether there were other agencies
participating in the election.
2) The Council may appoint a Councilmember to fill the vacancy. The Council may
select a Ukiah resident either by soliciting applications from the public and
conducting interviews or by selecting from Council nominations, which may or may
not include candidates who are running in the November Council election. The
nomination process is at the Council's discretion. :In the past, the Mayor has begun
the nomination process and if that nominee is not selected, the choice for
nomination would then pass to the next senior Councilmember. This process
continues until a candidate receives the majority of the votes.
(Continued on page 2)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Determine method of filling vacant Council position.
