AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: AWARD OF BID FOR MOBILE SHELVING UNITS AT THE GRACE
HUDSON MUSEUM
Specifications for the construction and installation of a
mechanical mobile assist storage shelving system unit for the
extensive Hudson-Carpenter collection of baskets, documents, and
other artifacts, were completed in October of 1994. These
specifications were sent to four potential bidders, including TAB
Products Company of San Francisco; Interiors Inc. Spacesaver of
Santa Rosa, Northwick Brunswick National Inc. of Silversprings,
Maryland; and Northcoast Builders Exchange in Ukiah. The bids were
opened on November 15, 1994, with the sole bidder being TAB
Products Company, for a total bid amount of $17,899.62, with an
alternative option for a four-drawer cabinet retrofit on the
existing shelves of $780.71.
This project was budgeted for $20,000 and is part of a two-level
process. A second set of wooden cabinets budgeted for storage of
the extensive collection of paintings at the museum will be bid
later this spring.
Staff is requesting that Council approve the Award of Bid to TAB
Products Company. Upon Council's approval, we will contact TAB to
begin immediate preparations for scheduling the work during the
week of January 23-27, 1995. The Museum will be closed for a
period of approximately three weeks during this retrofit of the
current storage room.

In response to the City's Request for Bids, four (4) bids were received and opened on November
8, 1994 for providing a one ton super heavy duty truck cab and chassis. This vehicle was
budgeted under the Garage Fund at $18,000. All bids received were over budget and the two
(2) low bids did not meet what Staff believes to be critical items that were specified. Staff
recommends that all bids be rejected because bids exceed budgeted funds. It is proposed that
this vehicle be rebudgeted for the 1995/96 fiscal year.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Reject all bids for One Ton Super Heavy Duty Truck Cab and
Chassis.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Amend Capital Budget and Award Bid for a One-Ton Truck with Service Body and
Crane to Ukiah Ford in the Amount of $25,224.13.
REPORT: In late July specifications were prepared for the purchase of one-ton truck with a
service body and crane to replace a 1982 service truck currently used in the Water Department.
This vehicle was budgeted in the 1993-1994 Fiscal Budget, but purchase was delayed until this
Fiscal year. Requests for quotation were sent out in mid-October. Three responses were received
on November 8, 1994. One response was a No Bid. The other two bids were for amounts greater
than the Budgeted amount of $23,500. Since the budgeted amount was based on dealer input, we
contacted the dealers to determine the reason for the increased prices. The dealers indicated that
there was an increase in factory price since we talk to them, but the majority of the price increase
was the result of a change in the California Vehicle Emission regulations, which requires that this
vehicle only be sold with a larger engine in order to meet the new standards.
The crane on the vehicle that was proposed by the low bidder, Hansel Ford, did not meet
the specifications and would not be suitable for it's intended use. The next lowest bid submitted by
Ukiah Ford, fully meets the specifications. Acceptance of their bid would require a $1,724.13
adjustment to the budgeted amount. Staff recommends that the award of bid for the one-ton truck
with service body and crane be awarded to Ukiah Ford in the amount of $25,224.13. A
comparison of the bids received is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Amend the Capital Budget and Award Bid for a One-Ton Truck

SET DATE OF DECEMBER 21, 1994 FOR PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING
ADJUSTMENT OF RATES FOR GARBAGE AND RECYCLING
COLLECTION SERVICE FOR DROP BOXES
At the City Council meeting held October 19, 1994, a public hearing was held to consider the
adjustment of garbage and recycling collection rates to compensate Solid Wastes Systems for the
increase in the gate fee at the landfill made effective August 6, 1994, CPI adjustment, and
expansion to the City's recycling program. The adjustment of rates for garbage and recycling
collection service were approved, effective November 1, 1994.
Due to an oversight, the rates established for drop boxes were adjusted by a flat 22%, the same
as commercial service. As indicated in the attached letter from Ukiah Solid Wastes, the
approved drop box rates do not cover the expenses for the drop box rental and tipping fee.
Staff proposes drop boxes rented from Solid Wastes Systems be $75.00 plus the tipping fee.
The $75.00 is to recover cost for box maintenance, transportation/hauling costs, amortization
and profit margin. For drop boxes that contain materials that must be landfilled, the rate would
be $75.00 plus $12.65 per cubic yard.
CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set date for December 21, 1994, for Public Hearing regarding
the adjustment of garbage and recycling collection rates for drop boxes.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS: Provide further direction to Staff as to the
desired date for a Public Hearing.

Set Date of December 21, 1994 for Public Hearing Regarding Adjustment
of Rates for Garbage and Recycling Collection Service for Drop Boxes
January 4, 1994
Page 2
Staff recognizes the dilemma that an 45 % increase to drop boxes would cause, and therefore
recommends that a decrease in tipping fees be established for drop boxes which have recyclables
separated (such as clean woodwaste, yardwaste, scrap metals).
Staff recommends the tipping fee for a drop box of clean woodwaste be $75.00 plus $3.75/cubic
yard tipping fee. Yardwaste would be $75.00 plus $3.75/cubic yard tipping fee.
Staff recommends scrap metal drop boxes be charged at $75.00 plus $12.65/cubic yard tipping
fee. On-site direct labor for processing scrap metal is approximately $7.90 per cubic yard.
Based on information provided by Solid Wastes Systems, bin rental and hauling costs for scrap
metal equate to $11.83 per cubic yard. Although the bin rental and hauling costs are not
charged directly to the landfill, they are included in the overall operational costs of Solid Wastes
Systems for the City.
Staff is requesting that the City Council set the date of December 21, 1994, for the public
hearing for the purpose of adjusting the garbage and recycling collection rates for drop boxes.

Ukiah, Calif. 95482
Wednesday, November 02, 1994
Dear Chuck:
The problem we have regarding the rate for our 20yd. debris-boxes has prompted me to
write you this letter. Because of the urgent nature of the problem I am faxing it to you, with the
original to follow by mail.
When the new rates were set to pass- through the latest landfill increase, the percentage
applied to compacted waste was also used on our loose waste (debris-boxes). The obvious
problem being that the compacted rate at the landfill increased by 46.5%, while the loose waste
tipping fee increased by 115%. By applying the compacted percentage increase to our debris-
boxes we would have a rate that would not even cover the cost to dump the box at the landfill.
If you were to deduct the previous per yard tipping fee ($5.75 per yard) from our previous
20yd. debris-box rate ($190), you would see that we received $75 per box to cover our trucking,
labor, and rental costs. At the present per yard tipping fee for debris-boxes ($12.65 per yard) we
need to charge $328 per box to continue to receive the same $75 per box to cover our costs. I
am sure that the City of Ukiah does not expect us to provide debris-box service at a rate that
does not even cover the tipping fee.
I have instructed my office staff to quote the correct rate, $~ for debris-boxes when
an order is phoned in. When the billing goes out at the end of the month, after this problem has
been corrected, the billing will reflect the true cost of providing this service.
I realize that you will probably want to wait until after the 11/8 election day to bring this to
the City Council. Please let me know when the item will be on the agenda so I can be there. I am
leaving town later today on business, but you can reach me in my car at (916) 949-0486. I have
made Jim Ratto aware of this situation and he is aware that I have instructed the office staff to
quote the new rate to customers that call regarding debris-boxes. If you cannot reach me, and
you want to talk to someone right away you can call Jim at (707) 778-8118.
Sincerely,

APPROVE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 21, 1994, AT 5:30 PM WITH
RECEPTION FOLLOWING FOR RETIREMENT CEREMONY FOR PAST CITY
TREASURER ROBERT RANOCHAK
Robert Ranochak, the City Treasurer for the past eight years, has been assisting in the transition
of the position to Patrick Coyne, appointed by the City Council on November 16 to fill Bob's
unexpired term. Traditionally, a ceremony is held for elected officials upon their retirement. The
transition is complete and though Bob "officially" retired effective September 23, there has not been
an opportunity to formally recognize him for his significant service to the community. It is
recommended that the City Council convene one hour early at the next meeting date to properly
acknowledge Bob's accomplishments, with a short reception in the foyer to follow. Such change in
time is considered a special meeting and thus must be approved by the City Council.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: By minute order approve special Council meeting for December 21,
1994 at 5:30 PM.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF MAYORAL NOMINATION PROCESS FOR CITY
COMMISSIONS
At their October 5 meeting the City Council discussed the issue of Commission appointments and
indicated that modifications to the current process may be considered, specifically "rotation" of the
nominations among the Councilmembers. As we focused on this concept it became very apparent
that a myriad of possibilities exist within this general thought. The simple idea has many iterations,
and they should be addressed before Staff is directed to proceed with any amendment to the
existing ordinance.
Presented in this staff report are several options, any of which could be put in ordinance form for
action by the Council. As the Council knows, the current City Code prescribes that new members
to City Commissions are to be "...appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council.".
Staff recommends the City Council discuss this matter and determine if the present system is to
remain the same or be modified, and then describe the method to be incorporated into an ordinance.
The ordinance would be scheduled for introduction at the next City Council meeting.
(Continued on page 2)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discuss Commission appointment process and determine method to
be adopted.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
1. Determine discussion is not necessary and withdraw item from the agenda.
2. Determine code modifications are not necessary and take no further action.

MAYORAL NOMINATION PROCESS
DECEMBER 7, 1994
page 2
Following are the options which staff has identified. There may be other variations which the Council
would like explored.
.
MODIFIED CURRENT SYSTEM
A. Mayoral nomination with Council vote is retained, but ordinance is amended to require
Mayor receipt of public input from City Council members regarding candidates.
.
APPOINTMENTS ON ROTATING BASIS
A. Commencing with the Mayor, nomination is made, vote is taken. If person is not
elected, next Councilmember in line by seniority makes a nomination, a vote taken,
etc. until person is elected.
Al. Process begins with Mayor for each vacancy.
Aii. City Clerk records nominations and next appointment process begins with
next appropriate Councilmember.
B. Each Commission is treated individually, with options as noted in A.
.
EACH COUNCILMEMBER MAKES NOMINATION
A. For each vacancy, each Councilmember makes a nomination, with a second, a vote
is taken of all nominees, with Councilmembers able to vote for more than one
candidate (to be determined by Council). Ties are broken by runoff vote or votes of
the candidates with the largest vote count.
Ai. Councilmembers can only vote for one candidate, but results are not final
until all votes are taken.
,
INDIVIDUAL APPOINTMENTS
A. Each Councilmember has an individual Commissioner per Commission he/she
appoints. In those instances where a Commission has more than five members,
Mayor directly appoints the others.
Al. Others are nominated by Mayor with vote taken by Council.
Aii. Others are appointed by one of the methods identified in Alternatives 1-3.
Alternative 1 is status quo with the addition of prescribed open public discussion of the candidates
prior to the Mayor's nomination. The ordinance would specifically state that such input shall be
secured before any formal action to fill the vacancy can occur.
The basic concept of Alternative 2 is rotation of the nomination duty through the Council
membership. As noted, the variations relate to how the responsibility is alternated. An election for
each nominee is held until a person is elected by majority vote. The sequence would start with the
Mayor and proceed according to Councilmember seniority, reverse of the order in which standard
votes are taken.
A variation to this process can occur with each subsequent vacancy. The process can be initiated
with the Mayor again, it can originate with the next Councilmember based upon seniority, or it may
be the responsibility of the Councilmember who was next in line from the previous nomination action.
MAYORAL NOMINATION PROCESS
DECEMBER 7, 1994
page 3
Both of the latter options would require the City Clerk to maintain a detailed record of the process
to insure the proper sequence is preserved.
The rotation method noted above is for all appointments taken in the order of vacancies. A further
derivation is to apply this process to each particular Commission, in which more intricate record
keeping will be required to insure the appointments are made in accordance with adopted
procedures.
The third alternative proposes that for each vacancy each Councilmember would have the
opportunity to make a nomination, with a second, and then a vote would be taken for each
candidate. Councilmembers could vote for more than one nominee, the number to be determined
by the Council. A process of elimination would taking place after the first vote, as tied results would
require runoffs and Councilmembers limited to voting for only one prospective commissioner per
vacancy. A variation to this method is to limit the initial Council vote to one applicant.
The individual appointments alternative (#4) would be implemented over time with Commissioners
being accountable to a specific Councilmember. This direct appointment situation occurs in other
cities, primarily large ones, and eliminates the necessity for most nominations and votes. Since we
do have commissions and committees whose memberships exceed the number of Councilmembers,
the appointment of the other members could be made by any one of the options already discussed.
The initial appointments would begin with the next vacancy on each Commission being the Mayor's
appointment; subsequent appointments would be made in accordance with Councilmember seniority.
This alternative will require record keeping and does change the complexion of the commissions to
reflect a direct relationship between Councilmember and Commissioner.
These alternatives are presented for Council consideration. Because of the many iterations which
are available, Council direction is necessary prior to ordinance formulation. Any modifications to the
existing process will be included on the December 21 agenda.

MENDOCINO COUNTY
MEMORANDUM
TO:
MICHAEL E. SWEENEY, Consultant , November 21, 1994
Mendocino Solid Waste ManaGement Authority
FROM:
JEANINE B. BAUMAN, Deputy County Counsel
SUBJECT: CERCLA AND MUNICIPAL LANDFILLS
No. 94-664
My inclusion of CERCLA in my last opinion to your was merely
an effort to cover all potential claims. Certainly, CERCLA
liability insofar as municipal landfills are concerned, is
probably a worst-case scenario. Hopefully, this correspondence
will provide you with a General overview of CERCLA liability as
it relates to municipal landfills and will resolve your concerns.
First of all, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. sec. 9607 (a)(4),
Governmental entities can be held liable under CERCLA if they
receive hazardous wastes and transport those wastes to a disposal
site from which there is later a release of hazardous substances.
Many of the CERCLA cases that have been filed against the
municipal entities arise out of the operation and maintenance of
landfills. These cases have raised important issues due to the
nature and composition of municipal solid waste. Even though the
amount of municipal'solid waste is Generally large, the majority
of that waste is nonhazardous., The existence of hazardous
substances in that waste is most likely to be de minimis.
Therefore, the question of whether and to what extent
Governmental entities should bear CERCLA liability arisinG out of
their participation in the disposal of municipal solid waste is
hotly contested.
In establishinG Governmental liability in landfill cases,
the initial question is whether municipal solid waste should be
deemed a hazardous substance for purposes of CERCLA liability.
Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"),
42 U.S.C sec. 6901, municipal solid waste is classified as a
nonhazardous waste. In spite of the RCRA exclusion, however, the
court in B.F. Goodrich Co. v. Murtha 958 F.2d 1192 (2nd Cir.
1992) rejected the argument that disposal of municipal solid
waste cannot Give rise to CERCLA liability. The court did not
agree with the notion that ConGress intended to include an
automatic exclusion of such wastes from the broad.definition of
hazardous substances contained in CERCLA. The court found the
fact that RCRA failed to classify such wastes as a hazardous
substance to be of little significance as RCRA was intended to
serve a different purpose than.CERCLA. Additionally, the court
refused to preclude CERCLA liability on the sole Ground that the
party's contribution to the contamination was de minimis on the
basis that CERCLA contains no quantitative requirement in its
definition of "hazardous substances."
-1-
Assuming, however, that municipal solid waste can be deemed
a "hazardous substance," the existence and extent of hazardous
substance in the solid waste needs to be proved or disproved.
This is a difficult burden because the evidence must be obtained
through testimony of experts and individuals who may have
transported the waste years before. Therefore, much of the
evidence will be based on con3ecture and speculation.
Therefore, although CERCLA may be a viable claim against the
public entities, the burden of proof is difficult. As stated in
my prior correspondence, if the plaintiff were to provide enough
evidence to demonstrate that the municipal solid waste contained
hazardous materials, then liability would be 3oint and several
between all parties utilizing the site. This could also include
parties other than the public entities who deposit hazardous
materials in the landfill.
Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR CHANGES TO AIRPORT HANGAR RENTAL AGREEMENT
Most aircraft based in the United States have an assigned number known as an N number. This
number is a group of numbers and or letters preceded by the letter N.
Some types of aircraft, including Ultra Light, kit, and home built aircraft may not be assigned
or required to have an N number. The lack of an N number in no way makes these vehicles any
less of an aircraft than one with a number, just a different category of aircraft.
By limiting hangar usage only to aircraft with an N number, we are keeping a very important
segment of the aviation community from enjoying full use of the Airport and its facilities.
Airport Staff is requesting that the N number requirement in Paragraph 2 of the Hangar Rental
Agreement be changed to Identification Number. By using an I.D. number, such as an engine
or kit serial number, Staff will still be able to associate a particular aircraft with its assigned
hangar.
Staff is also requesting that the limitation in Paragraph 2 of the Hangar Lease, of one aircraft
per hangar be eliminated to allow more than one aircraft to be stored in a hangar when hangar
size and aircraft compatibility allow, two ultra light aircraft for example.
By allowing two aircraft to share a hangar, we can better accommodate some of those aircraft
owners presently waiting for hangar space for their aircraft.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve requested changes to Airport Hangar Rental Agreement,
and direct City Manager and Airport Manager to renegotiate existing Airport Hangar Rental
Agreements to amend the existing Agreements with these changes.

SUBJECT: REQUEST FISCAL YEAR 1994/95 BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR COUNTY OF
MENDOCINO POISON CONTROL ASSESSMENT
Earlier this year there was some question regarding the County's levy of costs for the countywide
poison control program, and the assessment was unknown at the time the budget was submitted for
final Council consideration in June. The bill has just been received and an adjustment to the budget
is necessary to allow payment of the $2,180.40 as the City of Ukiah's share for 1994/95. The
allocation process has been finalized and is based upon the population within each jurisdiction. Our
amount is 18.71 percent of the total $12,000 expended for this County project. Funds would be
taken from contingency reserves.
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the adjustment to the budget to permit the payment
and continue the City's participation in this worthwhile program.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize budget adjustment of $2,180.40 to accomodate payment for
Poison Control assessment.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
1. Determine adjustment can not be made and do not authorize it.
2. Determine other adjustments are necessary to accomplish this addition, identify those, and

Dear Carol:
The City of Uklah supports continued funding of the Poison Control Program. However,
It was my understanding after our meeting with the other Managers last year, that future
poison control funding would be based on population so that confusion over zip codes
and the City of Uklah paying for County residents would be avoided.
Therefore, If funding Is based on population as everyone agreed last year, the City of
Uklah's portion would be 18%, or $2,211 to $4,418 for Fiscal Year 1994-95.
Please, keep me appraised as to how this funding Issue proceeds.

government agencies or departments, such as, but not limited
to, the Public Employees Retirement System. The City will
endeavor to obtain the most favorable treatment legally
possible from these other governmental entities. However, the
City makes no representation concerning the value of such
benefits to unit members or how they will be taxed or
otherwise treated by other agencies or departments. The
City's obligations under this Memorandum of Understanding are
limited to the direct cost of providing the salary and
benefits as described in the Memorandum of Understanding. The
City shall have no additional financial obligation, even if

established by City policy, including all conditions affecting
wages, hours, and working conditions that are not specifically
addressed in this Memorandum of Understanding shall continue
in effect and shall not be affected by the terms of this

a. Convertinq Benefits to Salary in Last Year Before
Retirement
The parties confirm that unit members only had a right under
the MOU's in effect since 1991 to convert benefits (such as
the 7% employee contribution to PERS paid by the city and city
contributions to the employee's deferred compensation plan) to
salary in the last year of employment, if the resulting
increase in retirement benefits does not create an unfunded
liability for the City. The parties acknowledge that PERS,
initially by Board action and later through legislation
(commonly referred to as "SB 53"), changed its policy so that
these conversions do create an unfunded liability, unless the
MOU is amended to require ongoing contributions from employees
to actuarially fund the increased retirement benefits that
would result from the conversions. Accordingly, unit members
recognize and agree that they shall not have the right to
convert benefits to salary in their last year before
retirement, unless and until the parties amend the MOU in
accordance with the requirements of SB 53. The parties agree
to discuss this issue when they negotiate the next MOU in
approximately one year.
b. City Only Liable for Direct Cost of Benefits.
The value or availability of the benefits provided in the
Memorandum of Understanding as originally worded or as amended
from time to time may depend on their tax treatment by the
state or federal government om the decisions of other
government agencies or departments, such as, but not limited
to, the Public Employees Retirement System. The City will
endeavor to obtain the most favorable treatment legally
possible from these other governmental entities. However, the
City makes no representation concerning the value of such
benefits to unit members or how they will be taxed or
otherwise treated by other agencies or departments. The
City's obligations under this Memorandum of Understanding are
limited to the direct cost of providing the salary and
benefits as described in the Memorandum of Understanding. The
City shall have no additional financial obligation, even if
the tax or other treatment of such salary or benefits by other
agencies or departments reduces or eliminates their value to
the employee. Whenever, the decisions of other government
agencies or departments affect the value or availability of
benefits, the City and the Unit will meet and confer on the
best way to respond to these changes to reduce or eliminate
their effect on unit members and the City.
