PROPOSED PURCHASE OF COMMUNICATIONS RECORDERS,
DIGITAL DISPATCH RECORDERS AND RECORDING TAPES
City policy requires that all purchases in excess of $5,000 be reviewed and authorized
by the City Council. This is "!o advise you of the proposed purchase of communications
recorders and digital dispatch recorders.
The communications recorCers being purchased will allow the public safety dispatch
center to record all radio and telephone traffic, for a 24 hour period, on a single VHS
type tape. Each tape will also be date and time coded to allow for easy recovery of
any activity. The set of two recorders allows for an automatic backup unit and the
ability to listen to one tape while another is recording. The digital dispatch recorders
will allow the dispatcher to I:.,lay back any or all of the last four minutes of traffic. The
playback recorder is invaluable when a caller becomes disconnected before the
dispatcher can confirm the r3ature of the call or an officer needs assistance and can
only use his radio once. Ths system also has the ability to slow down a recording so
that callers that are excited ~,~.nd talking quickly can be better understood.
(Continued on next page.)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Award contract to Lanier Worldwide, Inc., for material and
installation of two communications recorders and two digital dispatch recorders for a
lump sum amount of $19,60;'.35 and award the portion of the bid for recording tapes to
AM Communications, Inc., in the amount of $2,325.00.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
1. Purchase from higher bidder.
2. Do not purchase the recording systems or tapes.

PROPOSED PURCHASE OF COMMUNICATIONS RECORDERS,
DISPATCH RECORDERS AND RECORDING TAPES (continued)
DIGITAL
The recording tapes are VCR cassettes designed to record for approximately 24.5
hours. The need to retain thE~ recordings for a minimum of 100 days and possibly save
a recording for court evidence dictates that the quantity of 150 requested be
purchased.
Quotes for the communications recorders and the digital playback recorders have
been obtained from only two bidders. A local vendor did not bid on both items as per
the specifications. There is a difference of $348.65 in the two bids with Lanier
Worldwide, Inc., being the a3parent Iow bidder. The cost to purchase the recording
systems from Lanier will be $19,607.35. The cost of these systems will be divided
equally between the City of Fort Bragg and the City f Ukiah. The net cost to the City
will be $9,803.68.
Quotes for the recording tapes were also obtained from Lanier and AM
Communications. AM Communications was the Iow bidder by $675.00. The cost of
the tapes is also being divided equally between the City of Fort Bragg and the City of
Ukiah.

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AND APPROVE NEGATIVE
DECLARATION AND AMENDED PROJECT REPORT FOR THE CITY OF
UKIAH/UKIAH VALLEY SANITATION DISTRICT WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANT AWT AND UPGRADE PROJECT
This Public Hearing is being conducted for the purpose of allowing public participation in the
environmental and planning prc.cess for construction of the Wastewater Treatment Plant AWT
and Upgrade Facilities as required by the State Water Resource Control Board's policy for
implementing the State Revolving Fund Loan Program. The Treatment Plant Facility Upgrade
is required to meet new and stricter requirements of the City's NPDES Permit from the State
Regional Water Quality Control Board.
The City Council as designated Lead Agency for the project is to consider approval of 1) The
Draft Negative Declaration; and 2) The Final Project Report including Addendum No. 1. A
Kennedy/Jenks representative is available to answer any questions.
Continued on Page 2
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. It is recommended that the City Council make a finding that based on the Initial
Study/Draft Negative Declaration and the absence of significant public comments
received, there is no substantial evidence that the proposed Wastewater Treatment Plant
AWT and Upgrade project will have a significant effect on the environment if the
mitigation measures listed in the Negative Declaration are implemented.
,
It is recommended that tb, e City Council approve the amended Final Project Report and
authorize Kennedy/Jenks Consultants to proceed with Final Project Design.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
1. Continue the Public Hearing at this time pending submittal of additional information
and/or public input.

(1) INITIAL STUDY/DRAFI' NEGATIVE DECLARATION
In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act the City has
caused the preparation and distribution of an Initial Study/Draft Negative Declaration and
provided the required 30 day pt.~blic review period. A Notice of Public Hearing was published
in the Ukiah Daily Journal on July 11, 1993, alerting the public of the project. Copies of the
Initial Study/Negative Declaration were sent directly to the State Water Resource Control Board,
the State Clearinghouse and to the appropriate Federal agencies via the State Division of Clean
Water Programs, EnvironmentaJ Services Unit. Distribution was also made to local responsible
agencies and other interested parties. The cutoff date for Federal Agency review was
August 18, 1993.
Only two (2) State agencies responded with written comments. The State Department of
Transportation asked only that tile Draft Negative Declaration be more specific in describing the
proposed project as being required to meet more stringent waste discharge requirements in the
City's NPDES Permit, and that ,:hese improvements would not result in Plant capacity increases
for new connections. Also, they suggested that the document state that the proposal for long-
range expansion facilities will be submitted at a later date under a separate Initial Study and
environmental document. Cit3 Staff has no objection to including these comments as an
Amendment to the Draft Negative Declaration. The second letter was received from the State
Water Resources Control Board, Division of Water Rights, in which was intended as a reminder
that development of an end use for reclaimed water would fall under the jurisdiction of the
Division of Water Rights. They stated that the State Water Code requires that approval be
obtained from the State Water Board prior to making any change in the point of discharge, place
of use, or purpose of use of treated wastewater. Staff believes this is a valid comment and will,
prior to implementation of this disposal alternative, obtain the necessary approvals from the State
Division of Water Rights.
Following the close of the Public Hearing the City Council will be asked to approve the
Negative Declaration if it finds en the basis of the Initial Study/Negative Declaration and public
comments received that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant
effect on the environment if th,.- mitigation measures listed in the Negative Declaration are
implemented.
Following approval of the Negative Declaration, a Notice of Determination will be filed with
the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse. A copy of the Notice will also be made a part
of the State Revolving Fund Loan application package.
(2) FINAL PROJECT REPORT
The Ukiah City Council and Sanitation District Board conceptually approved the Draft Project
Report with comments on June 10, 1993. Kennedy/Jenks Consultants prepared the attached
Addendum No. 1 to the Report in response to these comments and a review by the State Water
Resources Control Board. Staff recommends City Council's approval of the Project Report as
amended and, further, authorizalion be given to Kennedy/Jenks to proceed with final design.
The Ukiah Valley Sanitation District Board of Directors took similar formal action at its meeting
on August 25, 1993.

CITY OF UKIAH
K/J 920524.00
JULY 1993
PURPOSE
The purpose of this addendum to the final project report is to address the following-
A. Comments on the Report from the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) staff as transmitted in its letter of 22 June 1993;
B.
Comments raised by the Ukiah City Council and the Ukiah Sanitation District
Board in a workshop to discuss the findings and recommendations of the
project report held o~ 10 June 1993.
A. SWRCB Review Comments
The SWRCB review of the Draft Report had a number of comments listed in their letter of
22 June 1993, which need to be resolved.
This addendum provides information on the items that are listed in the same numerical
order as in the SWRCB letter:
1. Comment: Agreed .~vith the need for an Advanced Waste Treatment (AWT)
System.
Response- None.
2. Comment: Agreed with the need for additional capacity in the future.
Response: None.
3. Comment: Consider equalizing basins for primary effluent to reduce flow
fluctuations to secondary and AWT processes.
Response: This was not initially evaluated due to a number of related factors
at the Ukiah Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) which include:
.a)
The difference in flow between peak and maximum daily flow is relatively
Iow, i.e., 20 MGD. and 16 MGD, respectively as shown in Table 3-11.
b)
The percolation ponds will be utilized to provide flow equalization to the
AWT process.
c)
The existing trickling filters and secondary sedimentation tanks are
insufficient to produce a 30/30 mg/i effluent at the maximum daily flow
A1.1
L
4,
of 16 MGD that is required by the City's new NPDES permit for
discharge to the percolation ponds.
d)
There is only a relatively small area at the treatment plant site that is
available for an equalizing pond which should be reserved for future plant
expansion. /~n equalizing pond of 4 million gallon capacity is shown in
the attached :Figure A1-1. It would be a 12-foot deep, earthen pond with
gunite liner, aeration mixers, and a debris washing facilities. The
estimated construction cost of this facility is $697,300.
Comparing th.~t cost to the estimated cost for secondary treatment
improvement,,; shown on Table 7-3 indicates over $150,000 in additional
costs. Considering this, as well as the irrespective need for secondary
treatment iml:rovements, there is no apparent benefit in constructing a
primary flow equalizing pond.
Comment: Explain reason for constructing contact clarifiers following
secondary sedimentation. Instead, consider upgrading the performance of the
secondary sedimentation tanks.
Response: First, there is a misunderstanding that the contact clarifiers are
immediately downstr'eam of the secondary clarifiers. There is indeed both a
chlorine feed and contact structure and the percolation ponds and a pump
station in between.
The flow rates through these secondary clarifiers, chlorine contactor and into
the percolation pond:; can peak at 20 MGD with a maximum day of 16 MGD.
Contrastingly, the maximum flow that the AWT contact clarifiers can treat is
8 MGD, so the percolation ponds will function for both diurnal as well as
seasonal flow rates.
However, to completgly address this inquiry, costs were developed on
providing a flocculation stage ahead of the secondary clarifiers in lieu of the
contact clarifiers. Also, the anticipated maximum flows that could be
experienced at the Ukiah WWTP were calculated based upon probable
reoccurrence interval:; to determine the possibility of reducing the capacity of
any of the AWT processes. These are described as follows:
a)
Fiocculation Tank Alternatives. Four, three-stage declining tapered
energy, vertical paddle-wheel flocculators can be constructed ahead of
each of the secondary sedimentation tanks as shown on the attached
sketch. These flocculators will provide an overall detention time of
27 minutes at the maximum daily flow. of 16 MGD and 23 minutes at the'
peak flow of 20 MGD.
The cost for constructing this alternative in comparison to the cost of deleting
the contact clarifiers is shown in Table A1-1.

TOTAL PRESENT WORTH $3,105,700 $1,734,600
RELATIVE RANK 2 1
There is a large differential in both initial and O&M costs of using secondary
flocculators as compared to contact clarifiers. Significant differences include the
added construction cost cf concrete tanks to contain the 1 2 paddle-wheel
A1 ..3
secondary flocculators of 2 horsepower each to fit hydraulically between the
existing trickling filters and the existing secondary sedimentation tanks. There are
significantly greater energy requirements for mechanical flocculators in retrofitting
the existing secondary s,:,dimentation process as compared to flocculation which
occurs within the contact clarifier bed. The most significant difference is the need
to nearly double the coa~]ulant dosage to produce a settleable flocculation for the
existing sedimentation tanks as compared to a fine filterable floc of the
recommended contact ciarifiers which essentially perform as a roughing filters
ahead of the final tri-media polishing filter. This further effects sludge disposal
costs as well.
AWl. Capacity Re-evaluation in Consideration of Comments 3 and 4
An AW1' facility at 8 MGD capacity is proposed. This was based on sufficient capacity to
treat the maximum monthly wastewater flow with diurnal and wet period excesses to be
stored in the percolation ponds. This stored flow can then be pumped to the AWl' when
inflow conditions are below 8 MGD.
The actual throughput of the AWl', Contact Clarifier-Fiiter (CCF) process is 90% or a total
of 7.2. MGD. The remaining 10% is recycled in backwash water. A further consideration
is redundancy so with one of tl-e four modular units out of service for repair, the capacity
could further be reduced to 5.4 MGD.
Considering that in January 1993, the average monthly flow was 7.4 MGD and a peak wet
weather flow capacity of 8.8 MGD is allowed in the SWRCB letter, just what flows exceed
that amount and what storage ,and percolation capacity might there be in the percolation
ponds that could possibly reduce the capacity of the AWT process?
In order to address that condition, a statistical evaluation of the 85 years record of wet
season (October to April) and monthly precipitation were plotted on Figure A1-2. The
recurrence interval of the 1992-1993 season was once in 5 years, while the recurrence
interval on the basis of monthl~ rainfall in a particular year was once in 3 years for January
1993 and once in 4 years for December 1992.
It is proposed that the combination of the AWl' process capacity plus storage and
percolation loss in the percolation ponds should be sufficient so that there would be no
discharge of only secondary treated effluent to the Russian River at a 25-year recurrence
interval of seasonal rainfall. The 5-year recurrence condition as experienced in 1992-1993
seasonal rainfall is about 120% of average while the 25-year recurrence condition is 160%
of average.
Thus, maximum monthly flow at a 25-year recurrence interval can be 133% of the
8.8 MGD allowed or 11.7 MGi] for a month.
Considering that 7.2 MGD coul.~l be processed by the AWl' facility, the balance of
I 1.7 - 7.2 - 4.5 MGD would be the accumulation less percolation in the ponds. If all 3
ponds are in operation, the percolation capacity is 3.6 MGD leaving an accumulation of
0.9 MGD for the month or 27 ~/1G of the 110 MG full capacity.
A1.4
However, this leaves no room for redundancy and if only 5.4 MGD of AWT capacity is
available, then the accumulation becomes 2.7 MGD or a total of 81 MG. Frequently as is
the case, a pond is out of servicE; to prepare the bottom for percolation restoration by
scarifying, then the percolation capacity is reduced to 2.45 MGD. If Pond 3 is out of
service, which is the deepest of :he 3 existing ponds of equal surface area, then the
storage capacity is reduced to 55 MG as well. Under this worst case condition of 1 AWT
modular unit of 2-MGD capacity and Pond 3 being out of service, there would be a need
for 115 MG of storage for the maximum monthly flow with only 55 MG of storage
available in the percolation ponds. This indicates that one 2-MGD AWT modular unit or
one percolation pond could be out of service, but not both, during the maximum monthly
wet weather flow.
Considerinq these factors and the modular incremental capacity of the AWT processes, it
is not desirable to decrease capscity by as much as 2 MGD. There would be considerable
probability that the AWT capacity would frequently be insufficient.
5. Comment: Evaluate a discount rate of 8.5% to assess present worth and cost
effectiveness rather ~:han 3% as used in the Draft Facilities Plan.
Response: The use of the 3% rate was chosen because it is not only close to
current inflation trends, but is the current rate that the City of Ukiah will pay
for the State Revolvi~'3g Fund Loan (SRF). An 8.5% discounted rate was
appropriate a few years ago when higher inflation and borrowing rates
occurred.
However, each of th,9 cost tables was reviewed to disclose the effect of
utilizing the 8.5% as opposed to the 3% rate. The effect is to increase the
proportionate total p~'esent worth cost of operation and maintenance while
lowering the effect cf capital costs. However, even doing this rate adjustment
does not change the ranking of the apparent best project alternative proposed
for implementation.
6. Comment: Deficie~.t and deteriorated items may not be eligible for State
Revolving Fund.
Response: First, it must be assumed that items now needed because of
building code changes or to improve reliability would be eligible for State
Revolving Funds. Secondly, the facilities that were not upgraded in 1983, and
are from original plant construction would be eligible for State Revolving Funds
in consideration of the need to replace after nearly 40 years of service. The
majority of these ite'.~s should be eligible for a State Revolving Fund loan.
7.. Comment: What is the City's plan and schedule for consideration and
implementation of the recommended (I/I) corrections listed in the report?
Resoonse: Specific recommendations for I/I containment and reduction are
listed on Page 7.2 of the report with initial funding of this program included in
the Revenue Plan. ?he City of Ukiah and Ukiah Valley Sanitation District also
are considering measures to require inspection, tests, and correction of inflow

.
9,
drains, or infiltration from laterals when property is being transferred, and to
learn how to equitabiy implement that program.
Comment: The Cit~/needs to submit a plan and implementation schedule for
adopting a water cor~servation program.
Response: The City of Ukiah has in the past adopted voluntary water
conservation programs during drought periods in accordance with state
regulations. Also, water conservation fixtures are now mandated for new
construction by state law. The City of Ukiah's Water System Master Plan
further provides for water conservation measures. The City of Ukiah will
transmit to the SWR,2. B its plan and schedule for adopting and implementing a
water conservation F, rogram in accordance with the SRF requirements.
Comment: Replace~nent or repair of previous grant-funded items may not be
eligible.
Response: A list of grant-funded items has been transmitted to the SWRCB
and is included in this addendum as Table A1-3. Items that were previous
grant-funded in 1983 and are questionable for funding under the SRF funding
requirements are noted in Table A1-3 and consist of the following:
a) Replace one ir~fluent pump to provide extended Iow flow rangeability.
b)
Replace varia~,le speed drives on four influent pumps and two trickling
filter pumps with new solid state equipment.
c)
Replace the secondary sedimentation air lift sludge pumps with new
centrifugal pumps to improve efficiency and to allow pumping of a
thicker sludge.
d)
Replace the existing sulfur dioxide feed equipment for dechlorination with
a sodium bisulfite liquid storage and feed system to comply with the
requirements of the Health and Safety Code and the Uniform Fire Code.

Revenue Plan
1. Comment: Modify the draft revenue plan to address the following:
a)
Improvements related to increased flows to the plant and increased
septage within the existing sphere of influence or the City and District
boundaries should be allocated to connection fees and septage fees. The
current connection fee is per equivalent sewer service unit (ESSU) and
not per actual connection.
b)
Improvements related to increased septage from outside the sphere of
influence but ~vithin the County should be allocated as a surcharge to the
septage fee. Current septage fee for loads outside the District are double
the fee for Ioa:Js within the District.
c)
Septage handling fee of $15.00 per load was not increased in the
proposed reve3ue plan.
d)
The Comparison of Sewer Service Charges and Connection Fees form
presented at t.3e workshop should be included with the revenue plan and
footnoted to indicate that the proposed fees represent the minimum
necessary to r,qeet project funding repayments, operation and
maintenance costs, and reserves for equipment replacement in
accordance wth the SWRCB requirements. Final charges will be based
upon actual project costs and operating reserves.
Response: Attache¢l in its entirety is a revised draft revenue plan for the
project which addresses all of the above comments. Page F.4 and F.5 of the
draft revenue program narrative reflects the requested changes and explains the
revenue needed and rate determination. Refer to the Comparison of Sewer
Service Charges and Connection Fees form attached at the end of the revised
draft revenue plan for a comparison of current and proposed fees.

Notes
The existing VFDs were nearly outdated at the time they were installed and are not energy efficient compared to the current
microprocessor based adjustable frequency drives. For improved reliability and efficiency, and to reduce operator attention and
maintenance, it is recommended that the unit.,; be replaced on four influent pumps and two trickling filter pumps. In addition, a
new 7.5 MGD influent pump is recommended to replace one existing 5' MGD influent pump to provide extended Iow flow
rangeability.
The existing air blowers for the secondary seCimentation tank air lift sludge pumps and for septage aeration need to be relocated
to clear the area for the new, fourth secondar,/ sedimentation tank. In order to thicken the secondary sludge, it was initially
recommended to replace the air lift pumps witl3 centrifugal motor driven sludge pumps. The current air lift pumps are not energy
efficient and do not allow thickening of the slL. dge. The new sedimentation tank will be provided with a centrifugal sludge pump
and replacement of the existing air lifts with centrifugal pumps will be considered by the City as an additive bid item. The
existing air blowers.will be relocated and used for the septage aeration and the air lifts for secondary sludge pumping if retained.
To comply with the'current Uniform Fire Code regarding handling of toxic gases, the existing chlorine and sulfur dioxide gas
facilities were evaluated considering replacem~nt with diluted liquid chemicals or upgrading with scrubbers and dedicated
emergency power, and preparing a Risk Mana~jement and Prevention Plan. The best apparent alternative is to retain the existing
chlorine facilities and upgrade with a gas scrul)ber while converting the sulfur dioxide system to sodium bisulfite. The existing
sulfur dioxide feeders will be replaced with bisulfite chemical metering pumps. The existing sulfur dioxide ton container room will
be converted to bisulfite liquid storage.
Adjustable frequency drives and/or other surge protection improvements are to be added to the existing reclaim water pumps to
protect the reclaim and injector water systems from surges and water hammer.

[)RAFT REVENUE PROGRAM
(Revi~;ed July 1993 - Addendum No. 1 )
APPENDIX F
DRAFT REVENUE PROGRAM
(Revised July 1993 - Addendum No. 1)
INTRODUCTION
The existing sewer use ordi3ances are presented along with the proposed revenue
program. The revenue program has been developed in accordance with the
Revenue Program guidelines of the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan Program to
assist in financing of the pl~nning, design and construction of this project. The
revenue program retains several components of the existing sewer use ordinances
which are provided in Appendix C.
EXISTING SEWER USE ORDINANCE
The City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District currently have parallel
Sewer Use Ordinances that state the responsibilities of the users and terms of
payment for use of the exist:lng collection system and treatment facilities.
User Groups
In the past, it has not been ~3ecessary to differentiate users on the basis of waste
strength contributions to allocate the costs of the sewer funds. For this reason
three basic categories are u:sed: residential, commercial and septage. The existing
ordinance also establishes an industrial user category that is not used.
Sewer Service Units
The current ordinance defines an equivalent sewer service unit (ESSU) as being a
single unit of sewer discharge having characteristics of flow, BOD, and SS equiva-
lent to that generated by a typical single-family residence. The basic residential
connection is assigned one ESSU. Depending on the Uniform Plumbing Code fixture
unit counts per sewer connE~ction, each user is assigned multiple ESSUs per sewer
connection. In addition, several commercial user categories are assigned equivalent
ESSUs based on fixture counts, number of metered connections, or metered water
consumption. An equivalenl: ESSU formula for industrial users is included in the
ordinance, but is not currently used.
Cost Allocation
All connected users are curr.gntly assumed to have the same characteristic waste
concentrations and the cost allocations are spread on a flow equivalency basis.
Variations in water consuml:,tion and typical waste strength for various user
categories are accounted by assigning lower flows per ESSU to higher strength
users and higher flows per ESSU to Iow strength users.
g ~oba/920624.00/rpt~/al~pend-f
F-1 920524
7/19/93
Service Charges
The current charge per ESSLI is $5.82 per month for all users. Septage is charged
at $15 per load for handling and $0.01 per gallon unloaded. For a 1,000-gallon
average load size this is $25 per I°ad.
PROPOSED REVENUE PROGRAM
The State Water Regional Control Board (SWRCB) Revolving Fund Policy Manual
describes the method used :o determine average monthly revenue required by
different types of users to r,~,pay the SRF loan and other financing. The basic
approach is to allocate costs on a plant loading basis equally to all users. The
manual includes example revenue forms which have been reproduced by a compu-
ter spreadsheet to develop a revenue program for the Ukiah Advanced Waste
Treatment (AWT) Improverrents. The completed forms are included as part of this
Appendix. A description of each form and the assumptions used is provided below.
To allow the City and District to account for the costs and revenues separately, the
user classes were separated for each service area (City and District) and carried
through the computations.
Forms lA and lB
Summary of Users and Wastewater Characteristics
Because the existing program is spread on a flow basis with equal charges for all
users, the actual flow per E:.~SU is computed based on the total number of ESSUs
and the flow the plant received during 1992-1993. Infiltration/Inflow (I/I)impacts
are not allocated to the users. The flow per ESSU was adjusted to match the
average dry weather flow d~Jring the period. To account for the septage users, the
total volume of waste recor;led from the plant log for 1992-1993 dumpings was
divided by the number of loads. The BOD and SS of septage was selected based
upon typical values in the S:{F Policy Manual. The BOD and SS of the residential
and commercial users were adjusted to match the actual concentrations observed at
the plant.
Form 2
O&M Costs, Debt Service and Capital Outlay
Current Year. Data for this form was taken from the fiscal 1992-1993 budget for
Fund No. 612. O&M costs for treatment facilities include fixed costs operations &
maintenance (O&M) for wastewater treatment plant and grounds and variable costs
of wastewater treatment plant equipment replacement. Collection system O&M
costs include fixed costs for system maintenance and pump stations, and no
variable costs. Miscellaneous costs from Fund No. 612 include fixed costs for
administration, accounting, and transfers to the general fund and equipment
reserve. Variable costs incl,Jde transfers to the operating reserve Fund No. 620
(City) and Fund No. 650 (District). The debt service shown for 1992-1993 will be
retired after the current fiscal year.
First Full Year of Operation. As an estimate, all O&M costs were increased by 2%
for growth within the servic9 area and 2% for inflation. To allow the City to
g:~obs/920624
F-2 920524
7/19/93
maintain the sewer charge for 5 years this interest compounded for 2 years past the
first full year of operation, is This sum of 4%, compounded for a total of 5 years
from the current year (1992-1993) totals 20% increase above the current year
operating costs. This factc, r was applied to the base year fixed O&M costs only.
Incremental O&M costs for the AWT modifications were added to the fixed cost
category of the treatment facilities. Replacement costs were estimated using 3.5%
interest rate for the useful life of the mechanical components of the recommended
project. The operating reserve transfers were assumed to be zero, although the
state recommends a Wastewater Capital Reserve Fund in an amount equal to 10%
of the estimated cost to replace the equipment at the end of its useful life. The
state also recommends an operating reserve fund to ensure the proper operation of
the treatment facilities in an amount equal to 20% to 40% of annual revenue which
is typical for most agencies. 'The General Fund transfer is approximately 3% of the
annual wastewater revenue. The equipment reserve corresponds to the
replacement costs from a 1 983 EPA grant funded project. Debt service
corresponds to the annualiz,~d capital cost recovery of the AWT modifications. This
number was computed based upon a 3.5% interest rate over a 20-year repayment.
Form 3
Capital Cost Allocation
A cost estimate of the Aw'r modifications was used to distribute the cost of the
improvements to flow, BOD and SS. This was based upon the useful lives of the
facilities and percent allocations for flow and strength taken from the SRF Policy
Manual. A one time charge for cleaning the sludge lagoons is also included in the
treatment plant total. Approximately $50,000 is also set aside for interceptor
rehabilitation (I/I investigations). The Steps 1, 2, and 3 costs (engineering and
administration) were calcula..ted as 15% of Kennedy/Jenks' preliminary construction
cost estimate.
Form 4
Unit Cost Determination
The costs and allocations us.md in this form follow from the previous estimates on
Forms 2 and 3. The O&M costs for the collection system is based on 100% flow
allocation. The allocations for debt service and capital outlay are carried forward
from Form 3. The O&M cosl:s for treatment cannot be calculated rationally without
knowing the construction da::e and costs and completion dates of all of the existing
facilities. For this reason, an equal distribution (1/3 flow, 1/3 BOD, and 1/3 SS) is
allowed by the SRF Policy Manual. The other miscellaneous costs from Form 2 are
distributed based upon the ratio of fixed costs between the treatment and collection
categories.
Forms 5A-5H
Summary of Fund Costs
Form 5 calculates the costs and assigns them to O&M for collection, treatment,
capital outlay, and debt service on a unit cost basis between City and District users.
No assumptions are necessar~ to interpret these forms.

Forms 6A and 6B
Total Revenue Needed
Form 6 computes the annual totals, annual revenue per service unit and monthly
charge per ESSU to fund the City/District Sewer Fund with the added burden of the
AWT Modifications. Basecf upon the previous assumptions and project costs, the
monthly charge per ESSU will increase to $5.82 per month to $12.78 per month. If
the City adopts the basis of computing the septage charge, this will increase the
cost of treatment from approximately $10 per load ($0.01/gal) to $49.01 per load
($0.05/gai) for a 1,000-gal,on load. Including the $15 per load handling fee will
increase the per load charg9 from $25 to $65. The septage handling fee for
administrative costs unrelated to funding of improvements has not been changed
under this revenue plan. The City may wish to consider an increase to cover
current and/or anticipated f:Jture costs. The fee has not changed since 1984 and
inflating by the CPI would r,~sult in a 1993 fee of $21.
Form 7
Rate Determination and Revenue Program Summary
Form 7 summarizes income sources and expenses from Forms 1-6. Income sources
related to penalties (late pa~/ment) and permit fees but, connection charges were
not considered in developing the proposed sewer service charges. It is assumed
that the City will use these ;~s the basis for future capital and operating reserves.
Additional Forms
Improvements related to inc;'eased flows to the plant are allocated to new users by
increased connection fees (s. ee Connection Fee Determination). Using a 12-year
repayment schedule and 3.5% interest rate, the annual revenue required would be
$256,163. Assuming a 1.5% growth rate within the service area, there will be
approximately 166 new connections a year as ESSU. This results in a $1,540
connection fee per ESSU for a 12-year repayment.
Improvements related to increased septage loadings from outside the District are
allocated as a surcharge to cover the annualized capital and O&M costs (see Out of
District Septage Fee Determination). Using a 12-year repayment schedule and
3.5% interest rate, the annual revenue required would be $236,838. Assuming an
un-sewered population of 30.500 to 39,600 between 1993 and 2005, 3 people per
dwelling unit and a 3-year cleanout schedule results in a surcharge of $61 for out-
of-district loads.
DISCUSSION
.
The revenue program 'presented above provides a structure to recover the costs
related to growth, inflation, modifications for AWT, and some miscellaneous
improvements required to ma ntain the existing plant performance up to a point
midway between the first and fifth year of operation. It is assumed that the City
will re-establish the cost basi.,~ and revise the sewer use ordinance on 5-year
intervals after the improvemer~ts are completed.

As the service area grows further, the City may wish to consider restructuring the
ESSU determination on an equal basis and assigning strengths by user category.
For many users, this would allow use of direct water meter billings for flow
allocation and along with assigned waste strengths the corresponding number of
ESSUs can be calculated. .'

CHAPTER I
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The recommended project 4'~nder this facilities plan is for the required Advanced
Waste Treatment (A WTJ and Plant Upgrade Project only. The A WT facilities and
associated upgrades are required to meet more stringent waste discharge require-
ments for discharge of treated effluent to the percolation ponds and to the Russ/an
River. These requirements are presented in the City's NPDES Perm/t, Order
No. $9-24 issued by the North Coast Regional Water Oual/ty Control Board
[NCRWQCBJ with a comp//z~nce date of I March 1994. The facilities necessary to
handle the modest expansion of dry weather capacity discussed in Chapter 3 -
Planning Considerations wi# be addressed in more detail in a companion Facilities
P/an Amendment and Environmental Study consistent w/th on-going revisions to the
City's General P/an.
BACKGROUND
The Ukiah Wastewater Treatment Plant was originally constructed in 1957 on the
west bank of the Russian River and south of the Airport to serve the City of Ukiah
and contiguous urbanized areas of the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District. This facility
was originally constructed to provide secondary wastewater treatment by trickling
filter and polishing aeration ponds for a dry weather flow of 2.5 MGD and a peak
wet weather flow of 20 MGD.
Discharge regulations were modified in 1974 to allow only seasonal (October 1 to
May 15) discharge to the Russian River at a minimum 100:1 dilution. The aeration
ponds then functioned to provide evaporation and percolation loss during the
nondischarge period.
The treatment plant was up~lraded in 1983 by installation of an additional trickling
filter, secondary sedimentation tanks, a new direct outfall, and improved
chlorination-dechlorination and emergency generator facilities. The average dry
weather capacity was increased to 2.8 MGD and the secondary treatment flow
discharge to the River to 7.0 MGD. A third percolating pond was constructed in
1985 to provide additional dry weather land disposal and an effluent pump station
was constructed in 1989.
The Regional Board revised its Basin Plan again in 1988 to require advanced
treatment of wastewater effluent discharged to the River and secondary treatment
for all wastewater discharged to the percolation ponds. These requirements were
imposed on the City and District under Order No. 89-24, which modified the City
and District's NPDES Permit to include lower effluent concentrations of BOD,
suspended solids or nonfilterable residue (NFR) and total coliform prior to discharge.
In addition, the population being served by the City and District's wastewater
WPC313
1.1
920524
facilities is growing, resulting in increased flows in the collection system and at the
treatment plant.
In May 1992, Kennedy/Jenks Consultants (K/J) was retained to prepare a Facilities
Plan for upgrading the wast~water treatment facility to comply with the Regional
Board's Order No. 89-24 that requires compliance by March 31, 1994 to Order
No. 89-24. In addition to the Facilities Plan, K/J was also retained to prepare a
feasibility study for evaluating short- and long-term wastewater collection system
and sludge management needs. The feasibility study is considered an update to the
Kennedy Engineer's 1977 report and includes a current evaluation of the existing
collection system capacity and development of a conceptual plan for a "backbone"
collection system to serve the anticipated wastewater flows of the future service
area.
The objective of this Facilities Plan Proiect Report is to determine the most cost-
effective and yet environmentally sound method of modifying the Ukiah Wastewater
Treatment Plant to meet the stricter discharge limits.
Modifications to the existing wastewater facilities presented in this Facilities Plan
are to provide for a capacity projected for the year 2005 to provide for secondary
treatment capacity for a wet weather maximum daily seasonal flow of 16 MGD and
for effluent filtration (Advanced Waste Treatment - AWT) for River discharge for a
flow of at least 7.5 MGD. 'rhe facilities necessary to accommodate the projected
increase in dry weather flows are not included in the recommended project under
this plan and will address in more detail in a separate accompanying document.
This report addresses the State Revolving Fund Loan requirements. A cross
reference between chapters in this Project Report and the loan requirements is
shown in Appendix A. Specific topics covered in this report include:
1. Description of conditions necessitating the project.
.
Discussion of population served and project wastewater flows and anticipated
eligible capacity.
3.
Evaluation of excessiw9 infiltration/inflow in the existing sewer system and
prioritized corrective rneasures.
.
Identification and evaluation of facilities required to expand secondary and to
provide advanced wastewater treatment.
5. Analysis of facilities rehabilitation requirements and methods.
.
Analysis of the need for additional land disposal by construction of a fourth
percolation pond and/or water reclamation.
.
Analysis of conversion from utilization of the toxic gases chlorine and sulfur
dioxide to less hazardous liquid chemical solutions.

10. Description of the best practicable wastewater treatment technology.
11. Estimates of the consl:ruction and annual operation and maintenance costs.
12. Description of operation and maintenance requirements.
13. Summary of the cost impacts on wastewater system users.
14. Evaluation of revenue producing facilities.
15. Summary of significant environmental impacts.
During the course of the study, several additional issues were raised and included in
the facilities plan evaluation. These included:
.
Determining the facilities needed and the associated costs for handling
expanded septage disposal from the present contiguous Ukiah Valley area to
include most of the unsewered areas of Mendocino County.
.
Determining the appropriate facilities and costs for processing wastewater
sludge so that it may be made into a compost with unlimited use restrictions
for fruit and vegetable food crop soil enhancement and conditioning.
Following is a summary of this report's chapters.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
It is expected that the wastewater collection service area will be expanded by 2005
from the present 9.81 square miles to 11.2 square miles to include urbanizing areas
west of Lake Mendocino into, the East Valley areas of Deerwood, Rogina Heights
and Talmage; and to the area south of the plant.up Boonviile Road and to Burke Hill.
The growth rate is projected at 2% annual increase. This will result in a sewered
population growth from the present 19,600 to 25,550 by 2005. In addition, the
approximately 4,500 people :served by septage disposal at the plant is expected to
increase to 5,850 in the contiguous Ukiah Valley environs, while if all of the
septage unsewered area in the County is disposed at the Ukiah Wastewater
Treatment Plant, the population served by septage would be 45,000 by the year
2005.
Projected wastewater flows are expected to increase to 3.4 MGD by the year
2005, with a maximum dry period monthly flow of 3.8 MGD. The average wet
weather flow will be 4.8 MGD with the maximum monthly flow of 8.6 MGD, a
maximum daily flow of 16 MGD and a peak flow of 20 MGD.
WPC313
1.3
920524
L
The design objectives for the treatment plant will require that the wastewater
treatment process be improved from the present 30 mg/L to 10 mg/L effluent
concentration of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids or nonfilter-
able residue (NFR) for discharge to the Russian River. This is a increase from 85%
to 93% removal for BOD and from 85% to 96% for NFR.
The treatment required will include coagulation and filtration to meet an average
effluent turbidity of less than 2 NTU and a maximum of 5 NTU. In addition, an
expanded chlorination facility is required to provide a minimum contact time of
90 minutes at a residual concentration of 5 mg/L to provide destruction of patho-
genic viruses. The effluent will then require dechlorination to provide a residual
concentration that will not exceed 0.1 mg/L as discharged to the Russian River.
ANALYSIS OF EXISTING WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES
Analysis of the existing treatment plant indicated that the pretreatment, influent
pumping and primary treatm,~nt elements have sufficient capacity for the additional
treatment flows and loads, although rehabilitation and replacement of some
deteriorated equipment items are desirable at this time as a part of this project.
The secondary treatment process requires improvement to both BOD and NFR
removal capability to reliably meet the new 30/30 mg/L BOD-NFR discharge
requirements to the ponds d~ring wet weather months.
A new effluent pump is requ~ired to be installed in the existing pump station.
The greatest need is for the installation of equipment to provide a minimum
capacity of 8 MGD of Advanced Waste Treatment (AWT).
Some elements of the sludge handling system are deteriorated and need rehabilita-
tion. These include the primary digester cover, the boilers, the recirculation pumps
and the gas mixers. The two existing sludge lagoons are filled with 35 years of
accumulated sludge deposits, which need to be cleaned to restore capacity.
The capacity of the two existing digesters are marginal for the increased loads,
particularly if the sludge is not thickened to increase detention and stabilization.
If additional service areas of septage disposal are elected for this facility, then
without question a third digester should be installed at this time as part of this
project. The installation willl also provide a much better margin of reliability for
system malfunction for necessary periodic cleaning of the two existing digesters.
The existing septage receiving station has had difficulties with odor emission and
floating solids, and needs to. be modified to correct these deficiencies. This, again,
is particularly true if the septage receiving service area is expanded.
The existing chlorine and sulfur dioxide facilities do not meet current building and
fire codes and need to be upgraded. The use of these toxic gases presents safety
WPC313 1.4 920524
hazards in handling and storage at the plant and the potential of toxic gas
discharge.
The percolation ponds also need improvement. One item is to raise the elevation of
the dikes surrounding Ponds. I and 2 above the predicted 100-year flood stage of
the Russian River. The other improvement is to provide permanent levee and bank
stabilization along the east side fronting the Russian River and along the South
creek bank as well. This latter need became apparent following the extensive bank
sloughing that occurred in January 1993, when there was a high water flood
condition. The degradation of the River channel by as much as 8 feet in the past
35 years is due to a combination of downstream gravel extraction and an upstream
dam restricting alluvial deposition. There is now danger of severe bank sloughing
and destruction of the percolation pond levees. This could seriously affect
necessary compliance with wastewater discharge requirements.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND ALTERNATIVE SCREENING
Alternatives and facilities evaluated included:
1. Repair of headworks deteriorated concrete.
2. Replacement of barminutors by channel screen comminutors or mechanical
screens with screenings removal.
.
.
.
Se
Secondary BOD and NFR removal capacity by:
a. A replacement of a portion of the existing rock media with random pack
synthetic media.
b. Construction of a third trickling filter.
c. Construction of a solids contact aeration system.
Secondary sedimentation capacity improvements were evaluated by comparing
installation of a fourth secondary sedimentation tank with the installation of
tube settlers in the present three units.
AWT alternatives included evaluation of three types of modular prefabricated
treatment units, as follows:
a. The solids contact clarifier-fiiter process, CCF.
b. The high rate slurry flocculation-clarifier-filter process, SCF.
c. The upflow automatic backwash filter process, CBF.
All of these processes a~,e particularly appropriate for providing effective and
economical AWT of trickling filter secondary effluent.
Disinfection improvemer~ts to minimize toxic gas hazards had three alternative
approaches evaluated, which included:
a. Upgrading current g~s feed by providing emergency gas scrubbers for both
chlorine and sulfur dioxide.
b. Conversion to liquid iqypochlorite and bisulfite solutions.
WPC313
1.5
920524
c. Upgrading only the chlorine gas system by a scrubber installation while
converting to liquid bisulfite to replace sulfur dioxide.
.
Sludge lagoon cleaning - two alternatives were compared:
a. Cleaning by a rental dredge and dewatering equipment.
b. Installation of a permanent dredge and dewatering equipment.
Sludge dewatering alternatives that were evaluated included:
a. Sand drying beds.
b. Belt filter press.
c. Centrifuge.
.
Long-Range Sludge Disposal Options were studied and included:
a. Landfilling.
b, Dedicated land disposal.
c. Land application.
d. Composting both for a limited and unlimited use as soil conditioner.
The water reclamation potential afforded by dry period operation of some of the
AWT facilities was evaluated. Also, non-reclamation and long-range disposal
options to other than the Russian River were compared.
PRINCIPAL TREATMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
Each element of the treatment plant was studied for rehabilitation needs and/or
treatment or capacity improvements. In all instances where alternative approaches
are available, costs were developed for feasible alternatives. Comparisons were
then made considering the capital and O&M costs in equal proportions. Then, an
equal proportion of non-cost items was also evaluated for each alternative, which
included reliability, flexibility, expandability, environmental, and aesthetic factors.
The result of these comparisons was to develop an apparent best project or facility
to recommend in a conceptual design stage for project implementation.
Cost estimates were developed for each identified improvement or feasible alterna-
tive and presented in tabular comparison form. A tabulation of the apparent best
project facilities was developed and the results are summarized in Table 1-1,
together with the estimated construction costs.
RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS
The minimum recommended improvements that could be funded for the most part
on the present State Revolving Fund Grant Application budget of $5.5 million
includes items I through 3 in Table 1-1 for a total construction cost of
85,235,100. The total estimated costs of these facilities, plus the engineering and
administration costs at 15% of construction, is 86,020,400. The total construction
cost of the apparent best project which includes the minimum recommended project
plus all of the required upgrades, items 1 through 4 in Table 1-1, is 86,061,900.
WPC313
1.6 920524
The total estimated cost of the apparent best project including engineering and
administration if $6,971,200.
A draft revenue plan analysiis has been prepared considering funding of construction
of the apparent best project, items I through 4 in Table 1-1 at an interest rate of
3-1/2% for loan repayment. Overall, this will require an approximate doubling of
current sewer service fees from $5.85/month per equivalent sanitary service unit
(ESSU) to between $12.00 and $14.00/month by 1995.
Facilities listed under items 5 and 6 in Table 1-1 and required for increased dry
weather capacity and for additional solids handling and septage disposal. These
facilities are estimated at a construction of $2,875,100. With engineering and
administration, the total estimated costs of these facilities are $3,306,400. For
planning purposes, these expansion related facilities are presented for construction
in the near future and costs have been allocated to projected new users by
increased connection fee as discussed in the Draft Revenue Plan. Current planning
is based upon an anticipated growth rate of 2%. For this purpose, a more conser-
vative estimate of 1-1/2% was used which equates to approximately 63 new
connections per year. At a 12-year repayment schedule, the required connection
fee would be approximately $2,500.

The following additional upgrades are to be considered as additive bid items in the recommended
project: 1) primary and secondary sludge pump replacement ($68,100), 2) above ground fuel tank
($16,000) and 3) all or part of sludge lagoon cleaning {$575,700).

Items 5 and 6 will need to Pe accomplished in the near future. Based on both plant
interruption and cost, it would be considerably more advantageous to accomplish
construction of these items concurrent with the required plant upgrade. However,
if that is not possible financially, then construction of all of these elements should
be accomplished within the next 12 years, so that all are completed by the year
2005.
Effluent Disposal
River Discharge
There are two possible changes to the current disposal practice of effluent dis-
charge to the River during the wet season and dry season discharge to the percola-
tion ponds for land disposal.. There is a current proposal by the NCRWQCB to
revise the Basin Plan to allow discharge of AWT effluent to the River when flows
are less than 100:1. Ukiah is urged to pursue a revised discharge permit to allow
AWT discharge to the River with dilutions over 10:1 as is the current practice for
the Napa River and Sacramento River and its tributaries. This lower dilution
requirement for the better quality effluent would permit much more flexibility to
discharge during Iow rainfall winter seasons when a major portion of the upstream
flow can be retained for sto~age in Coyote Dam. The dam restricts river flow in the
Ukiah area and has in the past presented difficulties with regulating effluent
discharge.
Reclamation
The second disposal alternative is the potential for developing the use of reclaimed
water in the summer. The AWT process is fully capable of producing a reclaimed
water quality suitable for un,restricted landscape, golf course, vineyard and pear
orchard irrigation. Developrnent of reclaimed water uses will provide additional
capacity for land disposal in a more productive manner than percolation. There is
also a long-term need for additional percolation, and the most suitable site is in the
pear orchard land immediately north of the treatment plant. If this land becomes
available for sale it should be purchased for future expansion of treatment plant and
disposal facilities.
Sludge Disposal
The recommended plan for sludge disposal is to initially clean the lagoon, and
dewater the sludge by a belt filter press. The dewatered sludge is of a quality that
can be used for landfill, a soil conditioner, or for composting with use restricted to
lawns, flower gardens, pastu~re, grain, orchards, tree farms or vineyards. Initially,
disposal can be either to the City landfill where it may be used for cover or to a
commercial compost producer, such as the operation on Morrison Creek south of
Ukiah. In the long term, est~blishment of a windrow compost facility at or near the
wastewater treatment plant ils an option contingent upon available lands, as an
alternative to delivery to a commercial composter.
WPC313
1.10 920524
Sterilization of dewatered sludge so that it may be used for an unrestricted soil
conditioner or compost has been estimated to have a capital cost of $900,000, and
an operational cost of $23.00/ton for supplemental natural gas.
Cogeneration
The projected 2005 sludge gas production is approximately 1,570,000 BTU/H with
a theoretical horsepower of 616 HP. The sludge digester heating requirements will
vary during the summer and winter periods which will impact the amount of
available sludge gas for cogeneration. With county-wide septage disposal, the gas
production will approximately double, and heating requirements increase by only ten
percent.
There is sufficient heat energy to provide a 175 hp engine generator at planned
conditions at a construction cost of $550,000. The annual cost benefit would be
$60,000 or a payback period of 9-10 years. Normally, a payback period of less
than 5 years is considered optional for cogeneration implementation. On this basis,
there is not an economic justification for cogeneration for the recommended project.
However, if increased septa,~ie disposal if elected, the cogeneration is economically
justified.
Operation and Maintenance
Operation and maintenance requirements and costs will increase at the wastewater
treatment plant due to the AWT facility and for additional septage and sludge
handling if the septage service area is increased.
Although the AWT facility will most likely have an average period of operation of
4 to 5 months a year, it will increase the operation's cost by nearly $150,000
annually. This facility requires that the superintendent's position be upgraded from
a Grade 3 to a Grade 4 operator, and that there be at least one more shift operator
on staff. The energy, chemical, coagulant and additional chlorine requirements all
add significantly to the cost of operations.
The projected use of the dewatering facility is for 6 months every 3 years for
lagoon sludge dewatering, or alternatively, 6 hours twice a week for digested
sludge dewatering or secondary sludge thickening. Another operator will be
required for these increased sludge handling conditions.

INTRODUCTION
The reader should note that a full EIR was prepared for improvements to the
Wastewater Treatment Facility on the site in 1979. This EIR is incorporated
herein by reference (Ukiah Wastewater Treatment Improvements Project Final
..EIR, 1979, Pacific Environmental Laboratory, State Clearinghouse No. SCH
76030883). The reader should refer to this document for complete descriptions
of the existing setting for the project site. The currently proposed project will be
constructed on the site assessed in that 1979 EIR.
The descriptions below follow the same numbering sequence as the Checklist.
I. Earth
ao
No unstable earth conditions or changes in geologic substructures will
be generated by the project (see pp. 22-23 of the 1979 EIR).
b.
The project will include construction of a dike to protect treatment
facilities from flooding during the 100-year flood.
C.
The construction of the Advanced Waste Treatment (AWT) facilities will
be east of the present treatment facilities toward the percolation ponds.
The existing plant facilities will visibly shield the facility from the freeway
or other public access areas. A new dike to protect these facilities from
the potential of flooding by the Russian River will be extended from the
chlorine contact chamber to the sludge lagoons. It will be at the 580-foot
elevation of the existing dikes and will not impose any restriction in the
flood channel.
do
No unique geologic or physical features exist at the site (see pp. 22-23 of
the 1979 EIR).
e.
During high runoff periods there is water flow from the lands north of the
plant site in a channel adjacent to the west dike of the percolation ponds.
No restriction of this channel is proposed. However, it is possible that
there is potential for slight erosion along the east bank of the AWT dike.
To mitigate this potential condition, a Iow gradient dike slope that is
planted and maintained in grass cover to prevent erosion will be
provided as part of this project.
This project will not affect the deposition or erosion of beach sand or silt
or otherwise modify the channel of any stream, river, lake, bay, inlet or
ocean bed.
go
The site is located about one mile west of the Maacama Fault Zone. The
maximum credible earthquake on this fault is 7.5 on the Richter scale
(LCA, 1991, p. 35).

Air
The proposed emergency scrubbing for chlorine gas and conversion
from sulfur dioxide ~:o bisulfite will substantially reduce possible toxic and
hazardous gas emissions from the treatment plant.
Covering and providing an odor scrubber at the existing septage
receiving facility will be provided as part of this project to mitigate
possible odors from this facility. Lagoon dredging could create short-
term odor emissions. The recommended sludge dewatering facility will
substantially reducE; the solids loading and solids build-up in the existing
sludge lagoons and will significantly reduce the potential for odors.
The project will not alter the local climate.
Water
The proposed dike will insure 100-year floods do not enter the treatment
facility.
The project will not increase site runoff nor alter the flows of normal
surface runoff.
The new dike will al::er the flow of the 100-year flood so that it does not
enter the site of treatment facility.
Surface water volume will be unaffected by this project.
The AVVT effluent discharge to the Russian River will be substantially
better quality in terms of BOD, suspended solids, coliform and
pathogenic viruses :~han the present secondary effluent. This will benefit
downstream potable water supply uses of the Russian River.
The project will not affect ground water flow (see the 1979 EIR, p. 26).
The project will not affect ground water volume (see the 1979 EIR, p. 26).
The
into
of U
project will not use ground water. The improved discharge quality
the Russian River will improve the potable water supply downstream
kiah.
The project will not ,expose people or property to water-related hazards.
Plant Life
The site is already developed. It is devoid of native plant life. Grass will
be planted on the banks of the new dike.
!
l
L
bo
C.
do
No endangered plant species are known to exist at the site (see the 1979
EIR, p. 26).
The introduction of new plant species (i.e., grasses) as part of the slope
protection recommendations will not create a barrier to the normal
replenishment of existing species at the site.
Not applicable. The project will not affect agricultural acreage.
5. Animal Life
a°
bo
c.
do
The proposed project consists of improvements to existing facilities and
will not affect the diversity or number of animal species at the site.
No unique, rare or endangered species of animals are known to exist at
the site (see the 1979 EIR, p. 26).
The introduction of any animal species or development of any barrier to
the migration or movement of animals is not part of this proposal.
Existing fish and wildlife habitat may be improved due to the improved
water quality of the ,affluent discharged into the Russian River.
6. Noise
a.
b.
Construction of the project will temporarily increase noise levels in the
area immediately surrounding the site.
Noise generated during construction will be temporary and intermittent
and unlikely to be considered "severe."
7. Light and Glare
Although the project may include incidental additional permanent lighting, the
existing plant facilities will visibly shield the facility from public areas and will not
create additional light or glare. ~
8. Land Use
The proposed facilities are within the existing WWTP site; no alteration or
present or planned land use is required.
9. Natural Resources
The AWT facility will increase energy, chlorine and ferric chloride coagulant
use. The project will increase the demand for natural gas, salt, and iron.
10. Risk of Upset
ao
b.
The existing risk of release of toxic chlorine or sulfur dioxide gas will be
reduced by this project as discussed in Number 2a above.
This project is not expected to interfere with any emergency response
plans.
I 1. Population
This project is for implementation of Advanced Waste Treatment (AWT) and
plant upgrades to improve the quality of the effluent for river discharge for the
current population and capacity of the plant as mandated by the North Coast
Regional Water Quality Control Board. The project does not increase plant
capa. cit that would allow for more new c~n_nectiOns than allowed by the ct. Jrrent
p~an~. '
12. Housing
This project is not expected to affect existing or create a demand for additional
housing.
13. Traffic/Circulation
am
The project will generate additional traffic during construction to transport
workers and materials to and from the project site. The effect on local
roads is expected to be mainly restricted to the area immediately
adjacent to the site~ which is a sparsely populated industrial and/or
agricultural area sc, utheast of the airport. Upon completion of the project,
no increase in traffic is expected.
bo
The project is not e, xpected to impact existing parking facilities or create a
demand for new parking.
C.
de
No impact on existing transportation systems is expected.
The project is not expected to alter present patterns of circulation or
movement of people and/or goods.
e. This project will not affect waterborne, rail or air traffic.
Project construction traffic will increase the chance of accident during the
short period while tile project is being constructed. Once the project is
completed, no increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicycles or
pedestrians is expected due to this project.
i
L
14. Public Services
a-d. The project is not expected to increase demands on municipal services.
e.
The proposed project will not significantly increase public maintenance
requirements beyond those required for the existing facility.
The upgraded Wastewater Treatment Plant will require an increase in
operating budget, sewer service fees, connection charges, and septage
disposal fees. The City of Ukiah and the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District
will need to increase the rates consistent with the revenue plan prepared
to finance this project.
The NCRWQCB and the California Department of Health Services will
review proposed treatment facility improvements, consider revised
discharge standards, acceptable disposal of sludge, and any reclaimed
water use proposals.
15. Energy
a.
The project will not use significant amounts of fuel or energy beyond the
present level of consumption.
b.
The project is not expected to significantly increase demand upon
existing sources of energy or require the development of new sources of
energy.
16. Utilities
The project is not expected to affect any local utilities.
17. Human Health
ao
No health hazard o.r potential health hazard will be created by this
project. In fact, the, project will decrease potential health hazards for
downstream users of the Russian River.
b.
Improvements made to the existing facilities as a result of this project will
increase the level of safety at the site. The proposed facilities will be
designed to minimize the potential for and immediately detect and obtain
on site any spill or leak of toxic chemicals, eliminating any potential risk
to public health or safety.
18. Aesthetics
The proposed plant improvements will be visually shielded from public access
areas by the existing facilities.
f .
1 9. Recreation
The project will not directly impact any existing recreational opportunities.
Improved water quality in the Russian River as a result of improved wastewater
treatment may enhance the existing recreational opportunities in and around
the river.
20. Cultural Resources
a.
An archaeological survey was performed on the entire site of the present
and proposed WWTP facility in September 1977 as appended to the
Environmental Impact Report done for the 1979 WWTP Improvements
Project. Per this report, the site has no historic or prehistoric
archaeological significance.
b.
No prehistoric or historic building, structure or object is known to exist at
the site.
c. The site presents no known unique ethnic cultural values.
d. No known sacred or religious uses exist within the site.
21. Mandatory Find~ings
ao
The project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment in the project area. The open areas have limited habitat
value, and there are no known cultural resources on site.
b.
The project will result in minor, short-term construction related effects but
will provide long-term benefits to the City of Ukiah as well as all
downstream communities by enhanced water quality in the Russian
River.
Co
The project will enhance water quality in the Russian River which will
have extended effects on downstream users.
do
The project does not have significant adverse effects on human beings.

S U~tMARY:
An archaeological reconnaissance of the proposed Ukiah Wastewater
Facilities improvements was completed by ACRS. Improvements to the
existing Ukiah wastewater treatment facilities will be confined to the
exisiting plant area and will not involve actual modification of land
surfaces outside existing plant facilities. However, the improvement
of plant capabilities could act as one factor in the facilitation of
population growth in ':he Ukiah Valley.
The area of the exist2ing plant facility was found to be considerably
disturbed due to the construction of the existing facilities. Although
all portions of the plant area were examined by means of a systematic
search (intensive archaeological reconnaissance), no evidence to suggest
the presence of any prehistoric archaeological resources was found. It
is considered unlikely that any such archaeological resources exist with-
in the bounds of the facilities but it has been recommended that in the
event archaeological resources are discovered in the course of construction
or other excavation activities work be halted in the area of the find
and a professional archaeologist be retained to evaluate the significance
of the discovery and determine mitigative action as may be necessary
before work is resumed.
METHODOLOGY:,
Ail areas within the existing Ukiah Wastewater Treatment Facility which
were not covered by roadways or structures were systematically examined
in an effort to locate any evidence of prehistoric aboriginal occupation.
It was immediately obvic~us, however, that the land within the facility
is higher in elevation that surrounding areas, apparently due to the
displacement of soils as a result of the excavation for existing ponds
and basins for the plant. It seems apparent that the original ground

lies below the present ground surface at an unknown depth. It also
seems likely that the original ground surface would have been highly
·
disturbed in the coua~se of constructing the present facilities. No
opportunity was afforded to inspect the original ground surface within
the plant grounds, hcwever, a brief inspection was made of the soil in
the agricultural field immediately north of the plant site. No
evidence of any archaeological resources' was found in the course of
this brief inspection.
The accompanying map indicates the location of the existing plant. While
the project proposed %~ill facilitate the servicing of an area which
conforms roughly to the area of the physuographic Ukiah Valley, no attempt
·
was made to conduct an archaeological reconnaissance of any part of
the study area beyond the plant limits.
OVERVIEW~
The area of the Ukiah Valley was claimed by the Northern Pomo (Barrett
1908; Kroeber 1925). 2indian presence in the valley is still in much
evidence today and several rancherias remain occupied within or near
the Ukiah Valley. The name of the modern city of Ukiah is apparently
of Indian origin, subject to the inevitable distortion by translation
into non-aboriginal languages. The topic is afforded some considerable
discussion by Barrett (1908:168-170). The ultimate origin of the name
appears to lie in the Central Pomo y~'ka~ (from y~, south; ~a,~,
valley) Barrett 1908:!6~).
Ethnographic villages, other than rancherias, reported by Barrett which
appear to have been within the area of the subject study area would
include ka'tili, sm~wa~apda, tcidote'ya, k~'mZ~, kab~ai'lnal, c~'kataal,
and possibly cima'ka~, although the location of the last of the villages
is somewhat uncertain (Barrett 1908:138-40)·
.
Archaeological research in the Ukiah Valley has been only of the most
minimal nature. Within the approximate bounds of the subject study
area are listed 11 recorded archaeological sites in the files of the
Anthropology Laboratory of California State College, Sonoma. Those
in the immediate vicinity of the wastewater treatment plant are in-
diacted on the accompanying map.
Most recently, California State College, Sonoma, under the direction
of Dr. David A. Fred[rickson, has undertaken a study of the archaeological
resources of the Lake Mendocino reservoir area. These studies are, at
this time, still in progress. While the actual inventory of resources
is beyond the subject study area, the problems of archaeological
consequence which ma~ be posited and/or resolved by this study will
have an impact upon archaeological research in the Ukiah Valley.
To date, archaeological problems in the subject area remain only
generally defined. For the most part, these problems are those set
forth in Dr. Fredrickson's doctoral dissertation Early Cultures o~
the North Coast Ranges, California. Some questions regardin~ the
-
nature of economics and trade relationships have been discussed by
Jackson in his master of arts thesis The Economics of Obsidian in
Central California Prehistory. However, specific research problems
dealing with the prehistory of the Ukiah Valley per se have not yet
been formulated.
No properties currently listed on the Nationa5 Register of Historic Places
are known to be within the study area.
FINDINGS:
No evidence of any archaeological resources was found in the course of
the intensive archaeological reconnaissance of the wastewater treatment
facility in Ukiah. The area of the plant has been severely disturbed
in the past and all areas appear to be covered with fill material which
prevented the investigation of the original ground surface.
Improvements to the plant facility will allow the plant to process
more wastewater. Presumably this will be a potential factor in allowing
continued growth of population in the Ukiah Valley. Predictions as
to the nature, rate and location of growth in the valley are beyond the
·
expertise of this consultant. Nevertheless, should growth occur, it
will doubtless result in impacts upon cultural resources in the
valley area. Only diligence on the part of agencies and persons
responsible for monitoring impacts upon environmental elements, in-
cluding archaeological resources, will work to prevent unnecessary
destructive impacts upon those resources.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that in the event that archaeological resources are
discovered in the course of construction or other activities related
to the improvement of the wastewater treatment plant facilities that
work in the area (within 30 meters radius) of the find be halted until
a professional archaeologist has been retained to determine the sig-
nificance of the discovery and that work remain halted until appropriate
mitigation measures have been carried out.
Should archaeological features be discovered, we further recommend
that representatives of the Indian community be contacted for their
advise and council.

RE:
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS SRF NO. C-06-4102-110
Dear Mr. Lam:
Enclosed please find two (2) copies of Addendum No. 1 to the Wastewater Treatment Plant
Facilities Plan prepared by Kennedy/Jenks Consultants and approved by City Staff.
The Addendum addresses the June 22, 1993, comments from your office, and comments of the
City Council and District Board of Directors on June 10, 1993. It modifies and supplements the
Executive Summary Final Report and Draft Revenue Plan.
In response to your request fi~r clarification that the recommended project and request for
funding does not include facilities for increased capacity, Kennedy/Jenks submitted the following
statement:
"The recommended project presented in the Final Report of the Wastewater
Treatment Plant Facilities Plan for the City of Ukiah dated May 19, 1993, and
submitted for funding through the State Revolving Fund (SRF) program is for
mandated Advanced Waste Treatment (AWT) Facilities for wet season discharge
to the Russian River and for miscellaneous plant upgrades. The recommended
project facilities are sizeA for the existing average dry weather design capacity of
2.8 MGD and the existing average wet weather design capacity of 7.0 MGD.
As part of the Facilities Plan and in accordance with the SRF requirements, the
Facilities Plan identifies a need for an increase in dry weather capacity by the
year 2005. However, the Facilities Plan recommended project is for a dry
'We Are Here To Serve"
Mr. Patrick Lam

weather design capacity of 2.8 MGD equivalent to the present plant's design
capacity. All facilities that are needed for an increase in dry weather capacity
have been deferred and will be addressed in a separate environmental document
and supplemental facilities plan in conjunction with ongoing revisions to the
City's General Plan. The recommended AWT project facilities are sized to
process the 7.0 MGD average wet weather design capacity through a combination
of treating secondary effluent directly up to an 8 MGD flow rate and storing
excess flows up to the ,existing peak wet weather hydraulic capacity of 20 MGD
in the percolation ponds. The relationship between AWT facilities wet weather
flow sizing and wet weather flow temporary storage in the percolation ponds is
addressed in Addendum No. 1 date July, 1993 to the Final Report".
Regarding Section VII (I) of the Policy for Implementing the State Revolving Fund for
Construction of Wastewater Treatment Facilities requiring applicants to adopt a water
conservation program, please be advised that City Staff plans to propose a program to the City
Council for initial consideration on or before September l, 1993. Although there are some
details that still need to be worked out, we believe that a slightly modified version of the State
MOLl which includes all or most of the 16 Best Management Practices (BMPS) would more
appropriately and effectively address local needs and conditions. We will forward the plan to
you immediately following its adoption.
Please let us know if you need any further clarification on any of these matters.
Thank you for your continuing cooperation in this project.
Sincerely,
Director of Public Works

ITEM NO. 9b
DATE: September 1, 1993
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTIONADOPTINGREVISED SCHEDULE OF FEES AND
RATES FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION SERVICE
This Agenda item provides background information for the public hearing on
the proposed 30% garbage rate increase. The individual components of the
rate adjustment are as follows-
2% contracted automatic annual rate increase equal to 75% of the CPI
increase for the period March 1992 to March 1993
5% landfill gate fee surcharge to support Mendocino Solid Waste
Management Authority
8% landfill tipping fee increase enacted January 20, 1993
15% AB 939 State Mandated Recycling Surcharge
The attached City Manager's Report provides detail on each of these
components.
The proposed 30% rate increase will be applied directly on residential
accounts. Any residential customer can multiply their current rate by 130%
and be within pennies of their new rate. Rates are rounded to the nearest
nickel.

2. City~[ana~er's Report and Attachments
For commercial accounts, the rates are being restructured. As a group,
commercial accounts will experience a 30% rate increase; however, an
individual account may experience more or less than a 30% increase. By
restructuring the commercial rates, the "volume discount" inherent in the
current commercial rate system will be removed. The volume discount is
contrary to the goals of AB 939 which mandate source reduction. The
proposed rate will be a flat $40 per yard of garbage service subscribed to
on a weekly basis.
Commercial customers can estimate their new bills using the following
formula:
Volume in yards x number of pickups per week = total yards
Total yards x $40 = total monthly bill
For conversion to yards, one 30-gallon can equals 1/6 yard, and a toter
equals 1/2 yard. Using this formula, a commercial customer with one can
per week service would pay-
1/6 yard x 1 per week = 1/6 yards x $40 = $7 monthly bill
COMPARISON OF OTHER RATE STRUCTURES
A garbage rate comparison was conducted for surrounding areas within
Mendocino County. All rates reviewed were considerably higher than Ukiah's
recommended rates. Refer to Exhibit C of the City Manager's Report.
EFFECTIVE DATE AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the rates be adjusted to reflect the State mandated
AB 939 Recycling Program Surcharge, MSWMA landfill surcharge, landfill
tipping fee increase, and CPI adjustment as indicated on Exhibit B of the
City Manager's Report.
Since the Fiscal Year 1993-94 Budget does not reflect subsidizing the State
mandated Recycling/Diversion and Source Reduction Programs, staff further
recommends that the adjustment be retroactive and effective as of
August 1, 1993.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
ADOPTING REVISED SCHEDULE OF FEES AND RATES FOR GARBAGE AND
RECYCLING COLLECTION SERVICE
WHEREAS, The City Council, under terms of its franchise agreement with
Solid Wastes Systems, Inc., must adjust garbage and recycling collection fees
and charges using an automatic annual rate adjustment based on a 75% change in
the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics, Consumer Price Index, and
WHEREAS, the increase in teh Consumer Price Index from March 1992 to
March 1993 was 2.7%~. resulting in a 2.03% increase in garbage rates, and
WHEREAS, the Refuse and Recycling Collection contract further stipulates
that the City shall add to the garbage rate any amounts necessary to fully
compensate Solid Wastes Systems, Inc. for any increase in the gate fee charged
to them for disposing of refuse at the City owned landfill, and
~EREAS, on August 5, 1992, the City Council authorized an increase of
the Ukiah Solid Waste Disposal Site gate fees to include a $.75 per cubic yard
surcharge for funding the Mendocino Solid Waste Management Authority, equating
to a 5% increase in rates, and
WHEREAS, on January 20, 1993, the City Council authorized an increase of
the Solid Waste Disposal Site gate fees to sustain sufficient revenue to make
the operation self-supporting, build reserves for closure and post-closure
maintenance, meet new monitoring and testing requirements, comply with new and
changing state and local regulations and fees, and provide adequate funding
for future capital ~mprovements, equating to an 8% increase in rates, and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the AB 939 state mandated
requirements for cor~.tinued and improved recycling and waste diversion programs
and the expense related to these programs, equating to a 15% increase in
rates, and
1
WHEREAS, additional expenses generated by state and federal mandated
regulations and programs has forced the City Council to determine that the
City's recycling and waste diversion programs can no longer be subsidized by
4 the City's Solid Waste Disposal Site, and

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ON
ADJUSTMENT OF RATES FOR GARBAGE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION SERVICE
BACKGROUND
The City Manager has determined that a rate adjustment to the garbage and
recycling collection service is necessary to meet obligations as stated in the
City's Refuse and Recycling Collection contract with Solid Wastes Systems,
Inc. dated March, 1992. The City Manager also recommends that the proposed
rate adjustment include an AB 939 Recycling Surcharge to cover state mandated
recycling and diversion program costs. These adjustments will necessitate a
30% increase in rates.
It has been approximately three (3) years since the garbage collection rates
have last been adjusted. 'the current rates were adopted in the Fall of 1990.
Consumer Price Index Rate Adjustment - 2.03% Increase
Solid Wastes Systems, t~c. is the City of Ukiah's franchised refuse and
recycling collector. In March, 1992 the City Council, through the public
hearing process, agreed to revise the Refuse and Recycling Collection contract
between the City and Soli.d Wastes Systems to include a method for determining
and adjusting garbage and recycling collection fees and charges using an
automatic annual rate adjustment based on a 75% change in the U.S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Stati~tics, Consumer Price Index (CPI).
As stipulated by the contract, beginning July 1, 1993 collection rates were to
have been adjusted to reflect 75% of the percentage change from March 1992 to
March 1993 in the CPI. The CPI increased 2.7% during this period, resulting
in the need to increase City collection rates by 2.03%.
Landfill Gate Fee Increase - 13% Increase
The Refuse and Recycling Collection contract also states that the City shall
add to the garbage rate any amounts necessary to fully compensate Solid Wastes
Systems for any increase in the gate fee charged to them for disposing of
refuse at the City owned ilandfill.
On August 5, 1992, the Ukiah City Council held a public hearing to consider
the imposition of a $0.75 per cubic yard surcharge at the City's Solid Waste
Disposal Site for funding the Mendocino Solid Waste Management Authority
(MSWMA). The MSWMA is ~. joint powers authority (JPA) created between the
cities of Ukiah, Willits, Fort Bragg and Mendocino County to cooperatively
address solid waste issue~ facing the County. The main focuses of the JPA is
providing adequate and e~lvironmentally sound disposal opportunities for the
future, including household hazardous waste collection events, public
awareness/education programs, and meeting the State mandated AB 939 regional
goals for source reductional, recycling and composting. The Ukiah City Council
approved the surcharge which became effective August 11, 1992. This same
surcharge was also approved and applied to all other landfill and transfer
station gate fees throughout Mendocino County at approximately the same time.
The MSWMA surcharge equates to an 5% increase in garbage rates.
Approximately five (5) months later, on January 20, 1993, the Ukiah City
Council held a public hearing to consider an increase in the gate fee to
sustain sufficient revenue from the Solid Waste Disposal Site to:
- make the operation self-supporting
- build reserves for closure and post-closure maintenance
- establish a newly required reserve fund for potential environmental
emergencies
- provide adequate funding for future capital improvements
- comply with new an~ changing state and local regulations and fees
- conduct environmental investigations and assessments in connection with
the Facility Permit Revision
- meet new monitoring and testing requirements
- relocate the existing PG&E power lines
These and other related future capital landfill projects, and their projected
costs, are identified in 2~xhibit A.
The Council approved this gate fee increase which became effective February 1,
1993. This increase represents an 8% increase in rates.
Consequently, these landfill gate fee increases have increased operational
expenses for our garbage hauler, Solid Wastes Systems, and as their contract
stipulates, the City is obligated to adjust the garbage collection rates to
fully compensate Solid Wastes Systems for the increases incurred in the gate
fee charged to them. The City has subsidized both gate fee increases since
their inception, by drawing down the reserves of the Solid Waste Disposal Site
(landfill) fund reserves, pending this scheduled rate increase.
AB 939 State Mandated Recycling Surcharge - 15% Increase
In 1989, Assembly Bill 939 (SHER) was passed by the State in response to the
growing solid waste crisi~ in California, particularly in terms of the lack of
adequate, long-term landfill space. One objective of AB 939 is to reduce the
waste stream 25% by 1995 and 50% by 2000, and to seek out viable alternatives
for dealing with solid wa~;te.
The City of Ukiah has !ong been a front runner in meeting these goals.
Through aggressive recycling and diversion programs, the City has attained a
diversion rate of approximately 28%, with no added expense to its citizens.
In a meeting held on Jaauary 31, 1992, City Staff and Ukiah Solid Waste
management team agreed that Solid Wastes Systems would be reimbursed 100% of
the cost of the residential curbside program, 50% of the cost of the yardwaste
collection program, and 50% of the cost of the commercial/ multi-family
program. The programs implemented thus far have been subsidized by landfill
revenues in the amount of $127,136.
City staff and Solid Wastes Systems management team further agreed that the
recycling/waste diversion programs and their associated costs would be
reviewed again in June, 1993 upon receipt of Solid Wastes Systems' annual
audit; to determine the appropriateness of increasing the recycling payment to
include the remaining 50~ of the cost for the commercial/multi-family and
yardwaste collection programs in the amount of $47,936.
On July 13, 1993, City staff received the 1990, 1991, and 1992 audits of
Solid Wastes Systems performed by Davis Hammon and Company. After a thorough
assessment by City Staff of program costs based on the audits received, and
acknowledging the major increases in program participation since the date of
the audit, it was detE~rmined by City Staff that the full cost of the
residential, multi-family, commercial recycling and yardwaste collection
programs in the amount of $175,071 was appropriately included in the rate
adjustment.
The reduction of revenue generated at the landfill and the additional expense
generated by state and federal mandated regulations and programs has forced
the City Council to determine that the City's recycling and source reduction
programs can no longer be subsidized by the landfill. As expressed in the
budget hearings, due to AB 939 state mandated costs of expanding recycling and
source reduction and diw~rsion programs and the lack of additional landfill
revenue, Staff recommend~ an AB 939 State Mandates Surcharge be added to the
garbage collection rates to fund these programs.
RATE RECOMMENDATION
Staff has explored many options of raising the required revenue without
adversely impacting any single customer classification. The proposed rate
adjustment has been determined to be an essential and equitable way of asking
all customers to share in meeting City contract obligations with our hauler
and dealing with the issues of escalated solid waste costs directed by the
State.
Residential Rates
Staff has determined that the recommended method for obtaining the revenue
necessary to cover the State mandated AB 939 recycling/diversion and source
reduction program costs, the two increases to the landfill tipping fees and
the CPI adjustment, woul~l be to place a 30% adjustment onto all residential
customer classifications in the garbage and recycling collection service.
Commercial Rate Restructuring
Commercial rates will also increase by 30% in total, however, because of rate
restructuring, the effect on any one customer could be more or less than 30%.
Among the goals of the Stated Mandated AB 939, is the goal of enacting garbage
rates which provide an incentive to produce less garbage. This can be done by
implementing an increasing block rate, that increases the "per unit" cost of
garbage service as volume increases.
This rate structure has been previously implemented in the residential rate
structure. To illustrate, under the current rate a resident subscribing to
one-ten gallon can service would pay $1.80 or $.18 per gallon of garbage
service. On the high en~i, a resident subscribing to four-thirty gallon can
service would pay $31.80 cr $.265 per gallon of garbage service.
Because landfill capacit)~ is limited locally and nationally, this type of
increasing block rate str~cture is preferred. It provides the customer with a
cause-and-effect choice of how much refuse service to subscribe to, with a
preferential rate for lower volumes.
Conversely, the historic approach to garbage service pricing has been the
declining block method. This uses the economies of scale philosophy, and
decreases the price per unit as volume increases. This method is still being
used for commercial accounts in Ukiah. The current price per yard of garbage
service is $51.00 for m 1-yard bin, and decreases to $24.25 per yard for
36-yard service, as illustrated below.

The ultimate goal is to reverse the commercial rate curve so that it resembles
the residential curve, providing the incentive to "reduce, re-use, and
recycle." However, in a~alyzing the impact of reversing the rate curve, we
see that the high-volume customer will experience an increase from the current
$873.00 per month to $3,093 per month. This seems unreasonably harsh,
especially happening in one giant step.
Staff is recommending a middle step between the current disincentive rate and
the ultimate goal of an incentive rate. The middle ground between an
increasing curve and a decreasing curve ~s a straight line. The
recommendation here is a flat $40 per yard, per week of garbage service.

-- -- -- PROPOSED RATE PER YARD
The current commercial rates average $30.95 per yard of garbage service per
week. By applying the 30% rate increase to this average, the $40 per yard is
obtained. This provides a shift towards the incentive rates by providing an
actual decrease in rates for customers using one yard or less of service per
week. Currently this represents 337 accounts, or 41% of the commercial
customers. In changing the rate structure, the high volume customer will see
the highest rate increase. This flat rate takes the top bill from $873 per
month to $1,440 per month for 36 yard/week service, for an increase of 64.95%.
While this is a significant increase, it is less than half of the impact of
changing to an increasing block rate.
Customers subscribing for more than one yard per week service and less than 36
yards per week, will experience increases between 3% and 64%, with the highest
volume customers experiencing the largest increase. Commercial customers can
estimate their new bills ~sing the following formula:
Volume in yards x number of pickups per week = Total yards
Total Yards x $40 = Total Monthly Bill
For conversion to yards, ~ne 30-gallon can equals 1/6 yard, and a toter equals
1/2 yard. Using this fo~rmula, a commercial customer with one can per week
service would pay:
1/6 yard x 1 per week = 1/6 yards x $40 = $7 monthly bill
COMPARISON OF OTHER RATE ~iTRUCTURES
A garbage rate comparison was conducted for surrounding areas within Mendocino
County. Ail rates reviewed were considerably higher than Ukiah's recommended
rates. Refer to Exhibit C.
EFFECTIVE DATE AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the rates be adjusted to reflect the state mandated AB
939 recycling program su~charge, MSWMA landfill surcharge, landfill tipping
fee increase, and CPI adjustment as indicated on Exhibit B.
Since the 93/94 Budget does not reflect subsidizing the state mandated
recycling/diversion and source reduction programs, staff further recommends
that the adjustment be retroactive and effective as of August 1, 1993.

garbage collection rates.

8/30/93
Dear Chuck:
I have read your "City Manager's Report and Recommendation" for the rate
adjustment item that will be on the City Council's Agenda September 1, 1993. I am a bit
concerned about the method ~eing used to provide recycling incentive in the commercial
rates. Solid Waste Systems, Ir c. understands the need to have a rate structure that benefits
those commercial waste generators that recycle. We support aggressively pursuing the
goals set forth in AB939, as our diversion le~,els demonstrate.
My concern with the method of restructuring the commercial rates is that neither
our accountant nor I could determine precisely how the new "flat $40 per yard, per week"
will affect the revenue from the service levels now being provided. I am confidant that
Louise Burt has factored this concern into her figures for determining that this
methodology will not only mai ntain our current level of revenue for the services being
provided, but will also generate the 30% increase that is reflected in this rate adjustment.
Having done business with you and the City of Ukiah for some time now I am
certain that if there is a shortfall we will adjust for it next time we are considering a rate
adjustment.
I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday. If there is anything you would like to
discuss please give me a call.
Very Truly Yours,
Ukiah Solid ~aste s, Inc.
Cable Firms Push to Short-Circuit '92 Law
By MAaK ROmCHAUX
Staff Reporter of THE WA/.& STILEET Jotml'~.,
NEW YORK - The cable law that tak,~s
effect next week ~ants b~ad new ~we~
over rate re~lation to l~al gove~ment ~.
But dozens of cable systems are t~ing ;o
sidestep the law by ~ng l~al officials ;o
forgo exercising their n~ autho~ty.
The systems, mostly small o~to~
in small marke~, have mounted a cara-
pai~ to convince loc~ officials that tie
1992 ~ble Act is t~ complicated W ~de
stand, t~ costly to enforce, and, ulti-
mately, more ex~nsive for consumer:;.
Instead of ~ng to the re-~ation of
the new law, which se~ up a framework ,;~f
r~es to determine cable rates, the cable
executives hope to pe~uade autho~ties in
smaller markets to si~ ~n~acts th~.t
basically wo~d continue the practice (,f
setting ~tes through ne~tiations be~ee
the company and a m~icipality. Thi~.t
would be more diffic~t for federal re~.-
tors to monitor.
Re~aW~ and cfiti~ say many of th
offe~ made by cable operato~ are lace
with t~ea5 that se~ce co~d be di:~.-
~pted if the rules are adopted and over-
reaching claims a~ut other ~ssible
effect. Moreover, it isn't clear whether
the l~al contrac~ that cable officials ar
pushing are enforceable, or even legal.
"The cable ind~t~ lost this fight ove]-
whelmingly in the Ho~e and the Senate,"
says James Quello, acting cha~an of th.~
Federal Comm~ications Commissiou.
Now, he complains, many cable operaWr {
"have an economic stake in discredi~n;~[
that law." The FCC may issue a wa~ing t,,)
cable operators as early as tMay, in~cat-
lng it takes a dim ~ew of the 1~1 pacts.
The cable campai~ "is beyond chutz-
.pah, it's evasion," sa~ Ba~ Orton,
University of Wisconsin professor of tele-
communications who ad~ses l~al gove~-
ments. Noting that cable systems essen-
tially are pushing to~s to ~ve up the new
re~lato~ authority the cable act other-
wise ~ants them, he adds: "Small l~a[
governmen~ don't have the wherewithal
to fibre out when they're being duped."
Cable executives counter that they arc
simply offering an attractive option
small towns that can't cope with the thicke~;
of new rules. They add that some towm.
eagerly accepted the cable offe~ and,
some cases, initiated the tal~. In addition.
cable officials ~int out that to~s thai
don't like how the a~angements work ou;{
can adopt the new authority later.
The Cable Act of 1992 im~ses new local
re~lato~ powers over an industry tha~
was largely freed of most rate restrictiom
back in 1987. The FCC, in setting out
hundreds of detailed rules to enforce the
new law, established ~idelines that call{
for an average 10% rate reduction and{
estimated savings of $1 billion.
But to exercise the new powers, local
governments musl formally certify with
the FCC that they will be responsible for
enforcing the law. ff they don't certify,
as cable systems hope, the FCC itself
would have to monitor such systems. That
would result in a far lower level of scrutiny
and enforcement by an agency based in
Washington, and busy with hundreds of
other regulatory duties.
In trying to persuade local authorities
to forgo FCC certification, cable systems
have offered incentives such as improved
service, advance payments to municipali-
ties, and temporary rate freezes. Some
operators have gone so far as to prepare
draft ordinances ready for adoption.
"These offers are a hollow argument,"
asserts William Squadron, vice president
of the National Association of Telecommu-
nication Officers and Advisers, a group of
local regulatory authorities. "And it's be-
ing orchestrated in many parts of the
country, usually in areas that have never
really spent a lot of time studying cable
regulation."
At times, the cable claims contain dire
predictions about the consequences of the
new law. For example, in a bid to woo
officials in Alachua County, Fla., local
operator James Cable Parters, besides
holding out the carrot of a rate freeze until
Oct. 1, 1994, also brandished a stick, insist-
ing that the new law would "require"
increases in cable rates to offset reduc-
tions in charges for converter boxes.
That is blatantly false, the FCC says.
"To even imply that the government is
requiring companies to raise rates is as
wrong as hell," Mr. Quello, the FCC chair-
man, fumes. "It certainly seems to contra-
dict the intent of the law and Congress."
The James Cable pitch didn't work in
Alachua County, which declined the com-
pany's offer last week. But about 50 towns
served by James Cable already have
signed the company's agreement so far.
The nation's biggest cable operators,
which run systems in many of the largest
markets, aren't pushing the "don't cer-
tify'' option as hard. Big city governments
have more resources and aren't as eager to
give up the new law's authority. But the
antiregulatory pitch, as plied by smaller
operators, has appeal in smaller markets,
where local governments are ill-equipped
to handle a regulatory fight.
The town of Decatur, Texas, accepted
James Cable's offer. "We're a small
community, and we don't have the staff
and technical expertise to regulate rates
under this law," says Brett Shannon,
city secretary. He notes the city receives
only $12,000 a year in cable franchise fees.
That could quickly be eaten up if the city
clashed with the cable company over a rate
increase and had to hire consultants to
buttress its stance, he says.
In the small city of Atoka, Okla., how-
ever, City Manager Martha Yates turned
down the James Cable offer. She didn't
appreciate James Cable's proposed ordi-
nance saying an act of Congress "does not
serve the public interest." She says, "They
tried to make it look attractive and push us
into doing it quickly, but we want to do
what's best for our citizens."
Another cable operator, Marcus Cable
Partners L.P., wanted to impress upon
local authorities just how onerous the new
FCC rules are. So it mailed copies of the
FCC's 500-page rate-regulation manual to
many of the 200 communities it serves; In
an accompanying letter, Marcus says the
law is "a hodgepodge of rules, require-
merits, edicts and dictates and is, in a
word, ludicrous." . .
Marcus also warned its locales that if
they embrace the ~new FCC rules, the
company may stop making capital im-
provements, cease a "high level of serv:
ice," and lay off workers and close small
offices. The cable firm further warned of
"some significant disruptions in our cable
service to the community."
But Marcus has a bag of goodies
for towns that don't certify: over the nex.t
two years the cable firm would eliminate
charges for additional outlets, reduce
equipment rental charges, and freeze in-
stallation fees. Some experts say such
promises, for the most part, simply fall in
line with the cable law.
Mayor Bard Kittleson of Barron, Wis.,
which has 3,200 people, wasn't swayed by
the Marcus offer. "They're making wind-
fall profits on many people who can't
afford it," he says. "They need to be
controlled. They're trying to circumvent
the legislation."

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR RECYCLING AREAS IN NEW
DEVELOPMENT AND REMODELS
The State of California has mandated that by the year 2000 the amount of waste being placed in landfills
will be reduced by 50%. The City of Ukiah has accepted this challenge and has taken a leadership role
in the matter of solid waste and landfills. In conjunction with the Mendocino Solid Waste Management
Authority, Ukiah has completed a significant number of tasks over and above the minimum standards
identified in the Mendocino County Source Reduction and Recycling Element and HousehOld Hazardous
Waste Element.
Earlier this year the California Integrated Waste Management Board prescribed that local jurisdictions
were to develop an ordinance which would require equal space for recycling materials in refuse collection
areas of new development or remodels increasing the floor area by 30%. Originally, this was to be
adopted by September 1, or the Board's model ordinance would be imposed. This requirement was
withdrawn in June, but the regulation remains appropriate. It is also called for in Countywide plans noted
above.
The ordinance has been reviewed by local architects, engineers, and contractors, the City's Recycling
Task, and approved by the Planning Commission after their public hearing. Staff believes the ordinance
addresses the goals and objectives of the City's recycling efforts, while providing flexibility to developers
to meet the applicable standards. Staff recommends the City Council introduce the ordinance by title
only after the public headng is completed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct public hearing and then introduce, by title only, ordinance specifing
area for recycling facilities.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
.
Determine ordinance is not necessary, and do not take action to implement ordinance.
Determine amendments to ordinance are necessary, make desired changes, and introduce, by
title only, modified ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE Of THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
AMENDING DIVISION 9, CHAPTER 2, OF THE UKIAH CITY ZONING
CODE - ADDING SECTION 9185 - AREA FOR RECYCLING FACILITIES
PURPOSE:
The State of California has mandated that cities and counties must
divert 50 percent of all solid waste by January 1, 2000, through
source reduction, recycling, and composting. The City of Ukiah is
committed to this goal and is actively pursuing a comprehensive
program to reduce the waste stream and institute greater landfill
efficiences in conjunction with the County of Mendocino and other
local jurisdictions.
Diverting 50 percent of all solid waste requires the participation of the
residential, commercial, industrial, and public sectors. A significant
factor in this program is the provision of suitable areas within
developrnent projects for the collection and loading of recyclable
materials.. These areas are to be compatible with the land use and
convenient for both the citizen and refuse hauler to maximize the
efficiency of the recycling effort. This ordinance has been developed
to meet this objective.
The City Council of the, City of Ukiah does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION ONE - Ukiah City Code Section 9185 to read as follows is added:
Section 9185:
A,
B.
AREA FOR COLLECTING AND LOADING OF RECYCLABLE
MATERIALS: All new development and certain remodels in
commercial, industrial, residential (other than single family and
duplexes) projects shall provide adequate, accessible, and
convenient areas for collecting and loading recyclable
materials, in addition to trash collection facilities, in
compliance with the following requirements.
New construction, or expansion of a commercial, industrial, or multiple
family residential project which adds 30 percent or more to the existing floor
area of the structure within the same calendar year, shall provide space for
recyclable materiials equal to that provided for trash collection as presented
in subsection B, or as approved by the Director of Planning through site
specific analysis as presented in subsection C.
Minimum space requirements in square feet for trash and recyclable areas
for residential projects (number of units) and commercial/industrial
structures (square footages) are:

Every additional~ 25 dwelling units or 25,000 square feet of structure shall
require an additional 48 square feet of area for trash and recyclables
respectively (total area of 96 square feet).
Each multiple family residential project shall also provide 24 square feet of
area for yard waste collection and loading.
As an alternative to complying with the minimum space guidelines contained
in subsection B, exterior recycling and trash space requirements for non-
residential developments may be determined using a wastestream analysis
for the proposect use, calculating the volume of trash and each recyclable
material that will be generated, and indicating the location and design of
collection contai~3ers to accommodate trash and recyclables in a system
that is compatible with the collection methods of the franchised hauler.
Approval of site-specific systems shall be obtained from the Planning
Director with the recommendation of the hauler.
Dimensions of the storage area shall accommodate containers consistent
with current methods of collection. The exterior trash and recycling storage
area may be located on the outside or the exterior of a structure, or in a
designated interior area with access, excluding dwelling units or in rear
yards and interior side yards. Exterior storage area shall not be located in
any required front yard, street side yard, any required parking or
landscaped area, or any other area required by Code to be constructed or
maintained unencumbered.
The trash and recycling storage area shall each be accessible to occupants
and haulers. If the exterior storage area is located outside or on the
exterior of any structure/building, the storage area shall be screened with
a minimum six-fc~ot high solid enclosure. In all cases where a parcel or
premises is served by an alley, all exterior storage areas shall be directly
accessible to such alley.
Each trash storage area shall be contiguous and jointly accessible with a
recycling storage area, except upon written consent of the Planning Director
in situations where unavoidable circumstances make it impractical to do so,
in which case the recycling storage area shall be located as close as
G.
possible to the trash storage area.
Recycling areas shall be designed to be architecturally compatible with
nearby structure.,; and with the existing topography and vegetation, and
comply with the following minimum requirements:
i. the design and construction of recycling areas shall not prevent
security of any recyclable materials placed therein;
ii. the design, construction, and location of recycling areas shall not
be in conflict with any applicable federal, state, or local laws relating
to fire, building, access, transportation, circulation, safety, or related
matter;
iii. recycling areas or the bins or containers placed therein must
provide protection against adverse environmental conditions, such as
rain, which might render the collected materials unmarketable;
iv. driveways and/or travel aisles shall, at a minimum, conform to
local building-code requirements for garbage collection access and
clearance, including unobstructed access for collection vehicles and
personnel:;
v. a sign clearly identifying all recycling and solid waste collection
and loading areas and the materials accepted therein shall be posted
adjacent to all points of direct access to the recycling areas;
vi. developments, transportation corridors, and public facilities
adjacent to recycling areas shall be adequately protected from any
adverse impacts such as aesthetics, noise, odor, vectors, or glare
through measures including, but not limited to, maintaining adequate
separation, fencing, and landscaping.
All designs for exterior trash and recycling storage areas shall be subject
to approval by the Planning Director, following review by the franchise
hauler.
In the event the minimum standards delineated in subsection B can not be
met, nor can a site specific design be approved by the Planning Director,
the project proponent may apply for a Variance from this section, or another
Code section irr~pacted by the proposed facility location, in the manner
prescribed in sections 9231 et seq. of this Code, to be considered by the
Planning Comm~ission.
SECTION TWO
He will vote "No" on the motion because he believes the sign has some value and does
something for the community.
MOTION PASSED by the following roll call vote to deny Variance Application No. 93-9:
AYES: Commissioners Farr, Menton, Randolph, and Vice Chairman Reid.
NOES: Commissioners I-Ioppe and Long.
ABSENT: None.
ABSTAIN: None.
B=
Recycling Area Ordinance specifyinq adequate areas for collectinq and
Ioadinq recvclable materials in development projects
Director of Community Development Director Michael Harris explained the State of
California requires local governments, to adopt ordinances requiring equal space for
recycling facilities in addition tc trash collection. The County's Solid Waste Management
Plan indicates the local comrnunities will identify areas for recycling, with the goal of
reducing the amount of material going into the landfill by 50% by the year 2000 Thus
there is a need to provide equal space for both trash and recyclable materials. The City's
recycling task force has reviewed the model ordinance and feels the City should move
ahead with the ordinance. The City Council, in their participation with the Countywide
solid waste program, has placed recycling as a high priority.
A copy of the draft City ordinance was presented to the Commission for their review and
staff noted it would probably b6, the model ordinance for the County. Many of the details
have been provided by the Recycling Task Force's recommendations. He advised the
model ordinance provided by the State discussed a 30% increase in floor area, which was
a recommendation made by the local task force to the State prior to the March 1
deadline. It originally was a 10% increase in floor area or 10% in valuation. Staff has
included actual dimensions for space which would be required for both trash and
recyclables on the site. Several cities have successfully initiated this program. He
advised they have also received assistance from Keep Mendocino Beautiful in addressing
these issues.
Staff is recommending the Corr~mission take no action on the Ordinance at this meeting,
but discuss the matter, and defer for two weeks with specific recommendations for action
to be made by staff at that timE;. The Ordinance provides two alternatives: 1)'minimum
standards to apply to multi-family residential, commercial, or industrial new development,
or increases of 30% in floor area; and 2) a process where an architect, engineer, or land
developer can work with the City and the franchise hauler to develop a specific program
for that particular business identifying specifically how the waste will be handled. The
Ordinance also provides for a Variance procedure if neither the minimum standards can
be met nor a site specific analysis approved by the Director of Planning.

reviewing and discussion with Mr. Ibalio, he came to the conclusion that, without special
findings by the Planning Corr~mission, the application of the sign program concept to the
Evangelical Free Church sign issue is not proper or possible. He believed this was. Mr.
Ibalio's feeling also. He noted a particular section does not establish a size limit or limit
on the number of signs. He felt Section 3227(d) appears to offer the most hope for the
Church's sign situation but would still require the finding of uniqueness. He argued the
permanent sign provision of the existing ordinance does not address church uses in
residential zoning districts. Tihe standards developed for regulation of signs is silent and
inadequate for providing infcrmation to the public. At the same time, he felt the sign
proposed is not a detriment to the investments relative to the adjacent properties or the
community and is not a hazard. He requested the Planning Commission find in favor of
Variance application number 93-9 based on the contents of his letter.
Commissioner Hoppe inquired if other institutions besides churches are allowed in
residential zones.
Mr. Ibalio explained the allowed uses within an R-2 zone include churches.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED- 7:28 p.m.
A MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Farr, seconded my Commissioner Randolph,
to deny Variance Application No. 93-9, based on staff's recommendation that there are
no valid findings to make the Variance.
Commissioner Reid inquired if the applicant would need to submit a Variance on the
size of their existing sign which faces Yosemite Drive.
Mr. Harris advised, from a strict code enforcement standpoint, the existing sign is in
violation of the code. He felt the issue is the temporary nature of the other sign and its
removal.
Commissioner Farr explained the existing sign before the Commission is the only one
with staff analysis. He felt churches may not have signage programs but every zoning
classification in the Zoning Ordinance has signage defined. He felt the church was aware
of the regulations when they established their site in the R-2 zone.
Commissioner Randolph dscussed the City reviewing institutional signs and their
limitations in the residential zones and preparing appropriate standards.
Commissioner Long felt that, while he agrees it may be difficult to make findings,
exceptions are an integral part of the interpretations of the law. He felt a finding could
be the unique character of the site in that it faces the freeway and gives some direction
to those on the freeway, which does not usually exist in a commercial or residential area.

The Commission discussed the proposed Ordinance and made the following
recom m endation s:
Commissioner Menton: It should encourage containers which are user friendly. Cubic
feet should be equal to trash capacity.
Commissioner Farr: Include purpose and ..definition sections in the ordinance.
Commissioner Randolph: Circulate ordinance to trash haulers for their review.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED - 8:00 P.M.
Bob Axt, 4925 Eastside Calpella Road, explained it is crucial to include feedback from
the trash hauler company a~d recommended an applicant contact haulers prior to
obtaining building permits.
Mr. Harris noted the staff wili submit the draft ordinance to architects, engineers, and
contractors to solicit their input.

Associate Planner Noel Ibalio advised in December 1978, the Planning Commission
approved Architectural Review Application No. 79-50 to construct a 3,300 square foot
family restaurant, with a seating capacity of approximately 100. The use required 33
parking spaces and the site provided for 48 spaces, therefore exceeding required parking
for the site. Several improvements were made to enhance the use of the property.
The applicant is requesting to construct a playground area with apparatus along the
Perkins Street frontage. The play area is 20' x 30' in size, 15' in height, and will eliminate
two parking spaces. Upon review of the proposed plans, it is staff's opinion the
playground area is not compatible with current architectural building style or colors of the
existing building, and may c~eate a substantial visual impact to the surrounding
environment. Staff discussed with the applicant changing the colors to more natural
tones, but the response was these were corporate colors and could not be changed. The
location was also scrutinized to minimize its prominence from the street, but safety and

convenience to the customers dictate its proposed siting. One possible alternative for the
relocation of the playground area would be a north/south orientation from the patio toward
the front doors, but this has not been discussed with the applicant. Due to the color and
location of the playground apl:,aratus, the playground will be visually obtrusive to the
surrounding uses and for the p[,blic traveling on Perkins Street. Elements of the building
style can be incorporated into th e design of the playground apparatus to lessen the visual
impacts, however, the design is a corporate standard and the colors blend with the
"Burger King" logo.
In order to mitigate the visual impacts, staff is recommending, that the playground
apparatus be screened with 15 gallon Liquid Amber trees, and the red canopy of the
playground apparatus be omittad. Screening the play area and removal of the canopy
will somewhat dilute the visual impact of the playground apparatus.
The applicant is incorporating two safety elements into the design of the play area,
lighting and fencing. The play ;area is proposed to be lighted for evening use and will be
surrounded by wrought iron fer,cing. The access to the playground area will be from the
patio, and not the west end of 'the play area. Staff believes the play area should not be
available after dark as the lighting will further accentuate the garish nature of the facility.
Staff recommends approval of Site Development Permit Application No. 93-17, with the
conditions as recommended in the staff report. Staff distributed photos of the site as well
as similar playgrounds at other Burger King locations.
Commissioner Randolph thanked Associate Planner for his presentation and analysis
in the staff report of the project.
Discussion followed concerning the number of parking spaces which would be
eliminated by the project.
Community Development Director Michael Harris advised the Site Plan indicates three
spaces will be taken, with twc remaining between the playground area and the planter
finger extending north/south or~ the east side of the driveway. With additional landscaping
there will be a reduction of fol~r spaces.
Mr. Ibalio advised the applicant will still meet the parking requirement for the site even
with the elimination of four parking spaces.
Commission Menton expres,'~;ed concern with the lighting issue for this project compared
to other restaurants in the a~ea. He inquired if staff's recommendation to not allow
lighting in the evening was b~.~sed on aesthetics or safety of children.
Mr. Harris advised staff's rec¢,mmendation is based both on aesthetics and for the safety

go through a Site Development Permit. All commercial construction, major remodeling,
as well as any construction in the R-2 or R-3 zone over a duplex would be required to
meet these standards. The:se projects would come before the Planning Commission for
review. He discussed cases of expanding more than 30% which would initiate the new
code provision and would not be significant enough to come before the Commission as
a Site Development Permit If the construction is less than 30%, this code provision
would not apply and could be approved by Staff, depending upon the size of the project.
Commissioner Randolph ,axpressed concern with the aesthetics of projects and felt
some guidance to applicants prior to' submitting their designs, is necessary to ensure
proper planning of their projects. He recommended staff and the applicant review plans
prior to submittal so the Pla~'lning Commission would not have to recommend changes
to the project design to accc:,mmodate a recycling area on the site.
Vice Chairman Reid explair~ed the projects would all come before the Commission and
this code provision would be incorporated into Standard Conditions for projects. This
would enable the applicant~; to allow for this provision in their plans. He discussed
previous cases whereby rec!/cling areas were included with the design of the project.
Commissioner Hoppe inquired if the Commission would be confronted with a situation
which is different from what the Commission is doing now. She recalled most of the
multi-unit projects which ha,ze come before the Commission have had some sort of
garbage and recycling areas and have proper screening.
Mr. Harris advised the provision would add 100% area to the collection facilities already
established. The provision st;ztes a recycling area must be provided in addition to a trash
area. He discussed code enforcement and discussed rewording Section One, G, to
indicate trash and recycling areas shall be located so as not to be a visual blight on the
project.
Commissioner Randolph die,cussed how dumpsters are located in the street in front of
multi-family residences in some areas. He recommended there be wording in the
ordinance to indicate dumpsters for trash or recycling be screened from the public right
of way.
Mr. Harris noted the matter of a dumpster in the street was addressed through code
enforcement, not within the o~'dinance itself.
Commissioner Farr brought to the Commission's attention item "G.VI." He discussed
problems with siting dumpster,,;, accessibility or limitations for trash haulers, and problems
with narrow driveways with regard to trash design sites.
Commissioner Randolph recommended the word aesthetics be inserted in item "G.VI."

_zonin_~ district.
Associate Planner Noel Ibalio advised the applicant is applying for an extension of one
year for Site Development Permit No. 92-58. The request originally was to construct a
new 1,650 square foot single family residential home with detached garage/studio. It was
noted in the applicant's letter of intent, construction of the house or obtaining a building
permit has not occurred due t(:~> economic conditions. The applicant is also requesting
Standard Condition No. 23 of tt'~e original permit be omitted from this approval so minor
construction can be conducte,~ during the weekends, specifically on Sunday. Staff
concurs with the applicant's request, and since it is a single family residence, the owner
will be working on it and felt it is unreasonable to prohibit Sunday activity. Staff is
recommending the Planning Commission extend the Site Development Permit for one
year, subject to the conditions outlined in the Staff Report.
Planning Director Michael Harris advised, with regard to Standard Condition 6 which
relate to the time frame for working on a project, Staff will return to the Commission at
a later date with a proposal that the original approval be for two years, due to the
economic conditions. With r~gard to Condition 23, staff's concern is that heavy

go through a Site Development Permit. All commercial construction, major remodeling,
as well as any construction in ":he R-2 or R-3 zone over a duplex would be required to
meet these standards. These projects would come before the Planning Commission for
review. He discussed cases ol:: expanding more than 30% which would initiate the new
code provision and would not be significant enough to come before the Commission as
a Site Development Permit. If the construction is less than 30%, this code provision
would not apply and could be approved by Staff, depending upon the size of the project.
Commissioner Randolph expressed concern with the aesthetics of projects and felt
some guidance to applicants prior to submitting their designs, is necessary to ensure
proper planning of their projects. He recommended staff and the applicant review plans
prior to submittal so the Planning Commission would not have to recommend changes
to the project design to accommodate a recycling area on the site.
Vice Chairman Reid explained the projects would all come before the Commission and
this code provision would be incorporated into Standard Conditions for projects. This
would enable the applicants Jo allow for this provision in their plans. He discussed
previous cases whereby recycling areas were included with the design of the project.
Commissioner Hoppe inquired if the Commission would be confronted with a situation
which is different from what tl~e Commission is doing now. She recalled most of the
multi-unit projects which have come before the Commission have had some sort of
garbage and recycling areas and have proper screening.
Mr. Harris advised the provision would add 100% area to the collection facilities already
established. The provision states a recycling area must be provided in addition to a trash
area. He discussed code er~forcement and discussed rewording Section One, G, to
indicate trash and recycling areas shall be located so as not to be a visual blight on the
project.
Commissioner Randolph die,cussed how dumpsters are located in the street in front of
multi-family residences in scme areas. He recommended there be wording in the
ordinance to indicate dumpsters for trash or recycling be screened from the public right
of way.
Mr. Harris noted the matter of a dumpster in the street was addressed through code
enforcement, not within the ordinance itself.
Commissioner Farr brought to the Commission's attention item "G.VI." He discussed
problems with siting dumpsters, accessibility or limitations for trash haulers, and problems
with narrow driveways with regard to trash design sites.
Commissioner Randolph recommended the word aesthetics be inserted in item "G.VI."

MICHAEL F. HAFIRIS, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT~
RECYCLING AREA ORDINANCE
The State of California has dictated that local jurisdictions must adopt an ordinance
requiring areas for i'ecycling materials in addition to trash collection facilities· The initial
deadline of September 1, 1993 has been delayed to September 1, 1994 which is allowing
Staff some needed time to fine tune the ordinance's details. We will have a draft
available at the meeting for Commission consideration and review. We do not
recommend adoption of the measure at this meeting· It will be an opportunity for
Commission discussion, dialogL'e, and understanding of the design implications for the
increased area devoted to solid waste within new developments.
The City of Ukiah Recycling Task Force has reviewed the model State ordinance and
made recommendations for the City's regulations. These are incorporated in the
proposed terminology and will be discussed Wednesday night·
A copy of the State model ordinance is attached for your information.

.,
, 1
SECTION I
PURPOSE
Cities and counties must divert 50 percent of all solid waste by January 1, 2000, through
source reduction, recycling, anti composting activities.
Diverting 50 percent of all solid waste requires the participation of the residential,
commercial, industrial, and public sectors.
The lack of adequate areas for collecting and loading recyclable materials that are
compatible with surrounding lm,d uses is a significant impediment to diverting solid waste and
constitutes an urgent need for st~te and local agencies to address access to solid waste for source
reduction, recycling, and composting activities. This ordinance has been developed to meet that
need.
SECTION II
DEFINITIONS
The following definition:; shall apply to the language contained in this ordinance:
Aa,
1)
2)
3)
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT- Means anyof the following:
A project for which a building permit is required for a commercial, industrial, or
institutional building, marina, or residential building having five or more living
units, where solid waste is collected and loaded and any residential project where
solid waste is collected and loaded in a location serving five or more living units.
Any new public facility where solid waste is collected and loaded and any
improvements fo~~ areas of a public facility used for collecting and loading solid
waste.
·
The definition ot: development project only includes subdivisions or tracts of
single-family det~,ched homes if, within such subdivisions or tracts there is an
area where solid waste is collected and loaded in a location which serves five or
more living units. In such instances, recycling areas as specified in this ordinance
are only required to serve the needs of the living units which utilize the solid
waste collection and loading area.

RECYCLING AREA ORDINANCE
At your last meeting the Comr:'~ission considered the draft ordinance requiring a recycling
area in new development an¢ continued the item for additional input. Comments made
by the Commission at the hem lng are included in the revised ordinance which is attached.
We solicited comments from the City's Recycling Task Force members and no changes
were recommended. As noted originally, they had generated the basic tenants of the
ordinance. The dimensions pl'esented in the ordinance are those used by San Diego and
have proven to be effective in the field. Staff believes the ordinance, as presented, will
provide appropriate facilities to enhance the City's recycling efforts.
Attached and included in the packet is information from the Public Works Department
regarding the City's efforts toward recycling. These identify the aggressive approach we
have taken in this regard. The chronology of programs and implementation dates from
March 1990 and addresses actions occurring at the City landfill, Civic Center, and
residential/commercial areas throughout the community. The pamphlet has had a wide
distribution and is available to all residents.
In summary, the proposed ordinance is appropriate for Planning Commission acceptance
and recommendation for adoption to the City Council. Staff recommends approval by the
Planning Commission.

AN ORDINANCE:_ OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
AMENDING DIV!',SION 9, CHAPTER 2, OF THE UKIAH CITY ZONING
CODE - ADDING SECTION 9185- AREA FOR RECYCLING FACILITIES
PURPOSE:
The State of California has mandated that cities and counties must
divert 50 !3ercent of all solid waste by January 1, 2000, through
source reduction, recycling, and composting. The City of Ukiah is
committed to this goal and is actively pursuing a comprehensive
program to reduce the waste stream and institute greater landfill
efficiences in conjunction with the County of Mendocino and other
local jurisdictions.
Diverting 50 percent of all solid waste requires the participation of the
residential, commercial, industrial, and public sectors. A significant
factor in ";his program is the provision of suitable areas within
development projects for the collection and loading of recyclable
materials. These areas are to be compatible with the land use and
convenient for both the citizen and refuse hauler to maximize the
efficiency of the recycling effort. This ordinance has been developed
to meet this objective.
The City Council of the City of Ukiah does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION ONE - Ukiah City Code Section 9185 to read as follows is added:
Section 9185:
AREA FOR COLLECTING AND LOADING OF RECYCLABLE
MATERIALS: All new development and certain remodels in
cor~lmercial, industrial, residential (other than single family and
duplexes) projects shall provide adequate, accessible, and
corvenient areas for collecting and loading recyclable
malerials, in addition to trash collection facilities, in
corlpliance with the following requirements.
A.
New constructions, or expansion of a commercial, industrial, or multiple
family residential project which adds 30 percent or more to the existing floor
area of the structure within the same calendar year, shall provide space for
recyclable mater als equal to that provided for trash collection as presented
in subsection B, or as approved by the Director of Planning through site
specific analysis as presented in subsection C.
B.
Minimum space ~equirements in square feet for trash and recyclable areas

Every additional 25 dwelling units or 25,000 square feet of structure shall
require an addilional 48 square feet of area for trash and recyclables
respectively (total area of 96 square feet).
Each multiple family residential project shall also provide 24 square feet of
area for yard w~ste collection and loading.
As an alternative to following the minimum space guidelines contained in
subsection B, exterior recycling and trash space requirements, for non-
residential developments may be determined using a wastestream analysis
for the proposed use, calculating the volume of trash and each recyclable
material that will be generated, and indicating the location and design of
collection conta hers to accommodate trash and recyclables in a system
that is compatible with the collection methods of the franchised hauler.
Approval of site-specific systems shall be obtained from the Planning
Director with the recommendation of the hauler.
Dimensions of the storage area shall accommodate containers consistent
with current methods of collection. The exterior trash and recycling storage
area may be located on the outside or the exterior of a structure, or in a
designated interior area with access, excluding dwelling units or in rear
yards and interiar side yards. Exterior storage area shall not be located in
any required front yard, street side yard, any required parking or
landscaped area, or any other area required by Code to be constructed or
maintained unencumbered.
The trash and recycling storage area shall each be accessible to occupants
and haulers. If the exterior storage area is located outside or on the
exterior of any structure/building, the storage area shall be screened with
a minimum six...foot high solid enclosure. In all cases where a parcel or
premises is se[ved by an alley, all exterior storage areas shall be directly
accessible to such alley. .
Each trash sto~'age area shall be contiguous and jointly accessible with a
recycling storage area, except upon written consent of the Planning Director
in situations wh ere unavoidable circumstances make it impractical to do so,
in which case the recycling storage area shall be located as close as
G,
H,
possible to the trash storage area.
Recycling areas shall be designed to be architecturally compatible with
nearby structures and with the existing topography and vegetation, and
comply with the following minimum requirements:
i. the design and construction of recycling areas shall not prevent
security ¢,f any recyclable materials placed therein;
ii. the de~,ign, construction, and location of recycling areas shall not
be in conl'lict with any applicable federal, state, or local laws relating
to fire, building, access, transportation, circulation, safety, or related
matter;
iii. recycling areas or the bins or containers placed therein must
provide pf'otection against adverse environmental conditions, such as
rain, which might render the collected materials unmarketable;
iv. driveways and/or travel aisles shall, at a minimum, conform to
local building-code requirements for garbage collection access and
clearance, including unobstructed access for collection vehicles and
personnel;
v. a sign clearly identifying all recycling and solid waste collection
and Ioadir, g areas and the materials accepted therein shall be posted
adjacent to all points of direct access to the recycling areas;
vi. develoaments and transportation corridors adjacent to recycling
areas shall be adequately protected from any adverse impacts such
as noise, odor, vectors, or glare through measures including, but not
limited to, maintaining adequate separation, fencing, and
landscaping.
All designs for e::derior trash and recycling storage areas shall be subject
to approval by the Planning Director, following review by the franchise
hauler.
In the event the minimum standards delineated in subsection B can not be
met, nor can a site specific design be approved by the Planning Director,
the project propo~'~ent may apply for a Variance from this section, or another
Code section impacted by the proposed facility location, in the manner
prescribed in se¢:tions 9231 et seq. of this Code, to be considered by the
Planning Commission.

DATE: September 1, 1993
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF ~SOLUTION AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
DOCUMENTS FOR ~HE LEASE/PURCHASE OF AMBULANCE
At the August 18, 1993 meeting, Council approved the purchase of an
ambulance for $74,217. This transaction was authorized in the Fiscal
Year 1993-94 Budget, to be financed with a five year lease/purchase.
This item brings the lease to Council for approval. The proposed lease is
with Municipal Leasing Associates, Inc., in conjunction with the local
branch of West America Bank. The terms are 5.5% for five years, for an
annual payment of $16,47~i. The payments were budgeted at $17,000 in the
ambulance fund, so the lease provides a savings of $2,630 over the life of
the obligation.
The attached resolution has three purposes: 1) to approve the lease; 2) to
authorize the City Mana~?er to execute the lease; and 3) to provide a
"Notice of Intent to be Reimbursed." The first two items are self-
explanatory and the third is an IRS requirement. This provides for the
lease to maintain its tax-exempt status even in the unlikely event that the
ambulance arrives and is paid for before the lease is complete. In that
event, the City would pay for the ambulance and be reimbursed by the
proceeds. To maintain the tax-exempt status, the City must declare its
"Notice of Intent to be Reimbursed" before payment is made for the
ambulance.
With the approval of the attached resolution, staff will proceed with lease
documents in anticipation of receiving the ambulance in mid-September.
RECOMMENDED ACTION- City Council approve resolution authorizing City
Manager to execute documents for the lease/purchase of
ambulance.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
1. Do not approve resolution.
2. Suggest alternative financing.

SUMMARY
REPOR'~
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF APPLICATION FOR FUNDING FOR GREATER
UKIAH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The City Council will recall that the City's funding contribution to the
Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce for Fiscal Year 1992-93 was based on
three factors, and they were:
1. Budgetary constraints in the General Fund due to actual, as well as
anticipated State setbacks, prevented us from funding the Chamber at
the same levels as previous years;
2. The City was not clear on the Chamber's direction or confident in its
organizational resou~3ces;
3. The City's funding ccntribution was specifically appropriated towards
those community eventl, s, activities, and areas of economic development
that complimented the City's overall goals and objectives.
Sin'ce the City made its funding contribution of $16,250 in Fiscal Year
1992-93, the Greater Ukiai~5 Chamber of Commerce has literally transformed
itself into a dynamic, well-organized, and visionary organization. Credit
for this transformation c.Learly goes to Chamber President Roy Smith, his
Board of Directors, Execuuive Vice President Elizabeth Christian and her
staff.
As evidence of our City's growing confidence in the Chamber and the
significant amount of work they are trying to accomplish, the City
appropriated another $2,500 last Spring to assist them in the development
of the Community Calendar project. Therefore, our total contribution for
Fiscal Year 1992-93 was $18,750.
(Continued on Page 2)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider and approve staff's recommendation of $22,000
for Fiscal Year 1993-94 funding for Greater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS-
1. Increase funding for 'She Chamber to match their request.
2. Reduce funding for the Chamber below staff's recommended amount.

ASRChamber
The Chamber of Commerce ~las requested a $25,000 funding contribution for
Fiscal Year 1993-94, but indicated in their application that they
anticipated a minimum of ~20,000 would be approved.
Due to our increased confidence and support of the Chamber and its overall
goals, staff recommended, in the adopted Fiscal Year 1993-94 Budget,
increasing the Chamber's funding from last year's $18,750 to $22,000 for
the current year. The $2'2,000 appropriation was comprised of $7,000 from
the General Fund to help underwrite the cost of certain community events
(Band Review- $1,000; Fourth of July Fireworks - $2,000; Christmas Tree
Lighting - $500; and August 1994 Arts Festival [in-lieu of Hometown
Festival] - $3,500), and $15,000 from Redevelopment funds to be used for
business education and informational exchange programs,
development, and tourism
The difference between the Chamber's request and staff's recommendation is
not a reflection on the Chamber, but is merely due to the continuing
budgetary constraints under which the City is operating, and the resulting
reductions in spending ref.iLected throughout the Fiscal Year 1993-94 Budget.

GREATEI~~, UKIAH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
APPLICATION NARRATIVE
Fiscal Year 1993-1994
1. Describe proposed proj~ct and its potential benefits to the City of Ukiah:
The Chamber is ew:~lving into the key catalyst for strong and positive
economic growth and development in the Ukiah Valley. Our membership has
grown by 80 to a total of 630 of the most viable local businesses.
We feel that investr.~ent by the City in the Chamber of Commerce will be
prove to be both a short- and a long-term benefit: A strong Chamber is critical to
the economic health of any community. Public money invested to help
strengthen the Chamber and increase its scope of work should return to the City
tenfold through increased property taxes from new and expanding businesses,
sales tax increases from ttr~:iving retail and an expanded jobs base.
Many of our major il~rojects are of ongoing benefit to the City of Ukiah:
· Tourism promotion: No other local entity is promoting tourism or handling
requests from tourists to the extent that the Chamber is. On average, we
handle 30 visitors to our offices each day, requesting information about the
Ukiah area. In addition, we handle about 100 pieces of mail per month that
are strictly tourism related. During summer months, our totals are
substantially higher th~t.n this. We estimate that each fulfillment by mail for
tourism promotion costs us about $2.50, bringing the total of our costs for
tourism promotion alo~e to $3,000 a year.
· Relocation promotion: Especially since Ukiah was named the best small town
in California, our relocation requests have skyrocketed. In April, we received
138 requests for information about personal relocation to the Ukiah area. With
each of these also costir.g about $2.50, our costs to fulfill these requests run
$4,140 per year.
In April, 1993, alone, we handled 1,398 phone calls on both tourism and
relocation matters.
We are currently maintaining the most complete Community Calendar in the
area. Our goal is to hell? event organizers prevent conflicts. Eventually, we
will utilize this Calendar to create a full-blown committee to help
schedule/facilitate ever~ts.
We are sponsoring and/or co-sponsoring a variety of education forums and
seminars to help our members and the community at large improve their
skills in business. We intend to do even more in 1993-94 than we have to date,
including a two-day Chamber convention that would give our members the
opportunity to particip~ te at very low cost in a series of professional training
and motivational progr;~ms.
We coordinate several key community events, including the 1993 Fourth of
July fireworks (which tie City traditionally underwrites for $1,000); the 1994
Hometown Festival (tra:iitionally underwritten by the City for $1,000--and,
though this event may change its format to a performing arts festival next
year, we will certainly do a major community-wide event in some form); and
the Christmas tree lighting (traditionally underwritten by the City for $250).
· We are actively involved in many phases of local economic development,
including "pitching" tc try to bring companies to Ukiah. We work closely with
Larry deKnoblough wil~en we get business relocation requests, and we will
increasingly initiate business pitches during the upcoming year.
· The City has traditionally given the Chamber $1,000 to help fund the annual
Band Review. We pass this amount through immediately to the Ukiah High
School Band.
Describe the specific needs your project addresses:
As mentioned above, the (;reater Ukiah Chamber of Commerce is addressing
needs in the community fi.at no other entity is addressing. We coordinate events
and tourism promotion that would not otherwise have a "home." We provide key
services to our 600+ members that are also critical, including representation at
the local, state and federal levels and invaluable business contacts.
3. Describe the geographic~zl area of impact affected by this proposed project:
We encompass the greater Ukiah area for the most part, although we do have
members from all parts of ":he county. Tourism promotion, in particular, benefits
the entire county as well as the City of Ukiah.
4. Describe to what extent your project will specifically affect, serve and benefit
the City of Ukiah residents and/or businesses:
A strong economic base is key to the successful future of the Ukiah Valley, and
the Chamber's role in economic development cannot be undervalued. Tourism
promotion is a key compor.ent of economic development in our area, and the
Chamber has taken the lead in this area. When our economic foundation is in
place, everything else can t::e successful, including social services and the arts.
Therefore we see our responsibilities and duties affecting virtually every segment
of the community in an ext~:emely positive way.
5. Describe how your program will coordinate with others in providing silnilar
services to this area and complement, rather than duplicate, their efforts:
Very few other entities evel~ attempt most of our activities and services. For
economic education, we coordinate on almost a weekly basis with West Co. and
Advancement Enterprises to ensure that we don't duplicate services. In addition,
we have formed a strong coalition with the two other: staffed Chambers in the
county--Fort Bragg and Wil[its--and with the Mendocino County Vintners Assn.
to make sure that our tourism promotion efforts are coordinated countywide.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING CITATION AUTHORITY FOR
CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
As the City Council is aware, we now have a part time Code Enforcement Officer to address
complaint situations and follow Ul::~ on new development to secure compliance with conditions of
approval. In an effort to insure th,at all of the tools necessary to complete his tasks are at hand,
citation authority for this position is recommended. Though this process will not be necessary
for the vast majority of the cas~,s encountered through the program, it is best to have this
capacity from the start. This capa~.,ility is encompassed in the proposed ordinance which amends
the existing code provisions relating to the Building Official and creates the position of Code
Enforcement Officer. It does not modify any of the current authority or responsibility of the
Building Official, but eliminates .any inconsistencies in City procedures. As is the current
practice, the Council would be fully apprised of any citation issuance.
Staff recommends introduction of the ordinance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce ordinance by title only.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTIONS:
.
Determine citation authority is not necessary and do not introduce the ordinance.
Determine amendments to the ordinance are necessary, make desired changes, and
introduce, by title only, modified ordinance.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
ADOPTION OF RE~;OLUTION AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE
MORTGAGE CREDIT CERTIFICATE PROGRAM ADMINISTERED BY THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF MENDOCINO COUNTY
The Tax Reform Act of 1984 authorized the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program as a
alternate to Mortgage Revenue Bonds for financial assistance to first time home buyers. The
MCC allows 20% of the interest ~3aid for a mortgage to be a direct tax credit (tax liability is
reduced) while the remaining 80°/;, continues to be eligible as a tax deduction. The reduction
of federal income taxes can be calculated as increased income, assisting perspective purchasers
in qualifying for home ownership. The program is actually completed by the lending institutions
and the real estate agents involved in the purchase transaction.
The Community Development Commission of Mendocino County (CDC) is proposing a
$10,000,000 allocation request as a countywide application, encompassing the county and at
least two of the major cities. The application fee is anticipated to be $2,500 shared by three
entities, making Ukiah's share $83:3.33. Also required is a performance deposit for the California
Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC), to whom the allocation request is submitted, equalling
1% of the requested allocation. C:,f the $100,000 security for the countywide application,
(continued on next page)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing participation in the Mortgage Credit
Certificate Program and execution of agreement with the Community Development
Commission of Mendocino County.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLIC~/OPTIONS:
1. Determine participation in the program is not appropriate and do not adopt resolution.
2. Determine amendments to the agreement are necessary, make desired changes, and
adopt resolution with modifications.

ASR MCC PROGRAM
August 27, 1993
page 2
$33,333.33 is the City's share. This amount is available within the City's Community
Development Commission fund 335-0700-503. The requirement for this deposit is removed
upon the closing of the first program escrow anywhere within the county. During an
informational meeting, a real estate agent indicated a qualified buyer who would be interested
in the program is already entering escrow. CDC staff verified that the risk is minimal since four
months is allowed for securing the initial escrow.
The program will be a very valuable addition to our efforts in assisting the local housing market,
particularly resales. Eligible sales prices are $120,000 for existing houses and $169,000 for new
construction. Qualifying incomes are higher than the standard levels required by HUD and are
$44,600 for one and two member households, and $53,000 for families of three or more. The
program is available only to first time homebuyers, those persons who have not owned a home
within the last three years.
Other than the application fee, there are no program costs for the City. The minimal reporting
will be completed by the CDC. Tqe agreement specifies the City's responsibilities for entering
into the program. The private sector implements the credit through the property transfer.
Staff believes this is a very viable program which will enhance first time homebuyers' ability to
purchase single family housing in Ukiah, at negligible costs to the City. Both the lending and
real estate communities support the program as evidenced by the attached letters. Staff strongly
recommends the City Council approve participation in the program and adopt the resolution
committing the necessary funding for the program and authorizing the City Manager to execute
the agreement.

Dear Council Members:
The Mendocino County Board of Realtors would like to express our support of the
MORTGAGE CREDIT C]~RTIFICATE PROGRAM wtfich was introduced this month by the
Community Development Commission of Mendocino County.
This proposed tax crcdit program would bca strong incentive to many wary tn'st time home-
buyers who arc now out there looking at homes but too cautious to actually commit themselves
to buy in the present economy. Low interest and a hotly tax credit is a combination that would
be hard to ignore.
The solid and most sensibl,: foundation of this proposal is the structure of thc purchase price
limitations. A new home limit of $169,100 and an existing home limit of $120,200: these arc
definitely workable number:; in this market!
As an association of professionals, we ask that thc Uldah City Council support thc
MORTGAGE CREDrr CI?RTIFICATE PROGRAM in order to benefit indixddual Mendocino
County families, to stimulate the local economy in general, and to boost the local real estate
market.
Sincerely,

~X2'e believe the~'e is a profound desire among many American citizens to
buy services and products manufactured in the United States by
companies owr2ed by Americans. ~X2'e encourage the positive aspects of
"Buy American" by promoting quality goods and services that originate
on United States soil.
The United States tax structure should be world class, so American firms
can compete with foreign-owned companies on an even playing field.
Foreign corporations should be required to abide by the same anti-trust
laws as American businesses.
~Ve encourage ,~rnerican owned businesses to spend their profits to
promote growth within their communities.
Family owned businesses and the passing of family owned business'to
sons and daughters is encouraged.
