WHEREAS:
1. The City of Ukiah desires to initiate a proceeding for the adjustment of boundaries specified
herein; and
2. Pursuant to Government Code Section 56654(a), the City must approve a resolution of
application in order to initiate annexation proceedings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND ORDERED that:
1. This proposal is made, and it is requested that proceedings be taken, pursuant to the
Cortese/Knox/Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, commencing with
section 56000 of the California Government Code, specifically Government Code § 56654(a).
2. This proposal is an annexation to the City of Ukiah.
3. Legal descriptions of the affected territories are set forth in Exhibit A, and a map of the affected
territories are set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and by reference incorporated herein.
4. The territory to be annexed is uninhabited and consists of one parcel of 283.5 acres (Area No.
1, below) that is non-contiguous to the City and additional parcels (Area Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6)
that are contiguous to the City and consist of 162.512 acres in total..
5. The reasons for the proposal are to annex and subject to the City's jurisdiction parcels that the
City currently owns in fee and uses for government purposes, which are currently outside the
City's jurisdiction and not subject to County land use regulation or control. The parcels as
numbered on Exhibits A and B consist of:
Area Number City Use of Property
1, 2 open space
3 municipal airport
4 solid waste transfer station
5, 6 wastewater treatment.
6. The proposal to annex Area No. 1 complies with Government Code Section 56742 in that the
property is 1) located in Mendocino County where the City is situated; (2) owned by the City
and (3) used for municipal purposes at the time these commission proceedings are initiated.
7. Area Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are within the City's sphere of influence.

9. The City Council adopts the determination by the City's Director of Community Development
that this annexation is a categorically exempt project under the California Environmental Quality
Act. Upon adoption of this resolution, the Director of Community Development is authorized and
directed to record a Notice of Exemption with the Mendocino County Clerk.
10. Once the territory is annexed by the City, it will no longer be subject to property taxes. Moreover,
the use of the property for governmental purposes will not generate any other tax revenues,
such as sales tax. As such, this reorganization will not result in any taxes that could be shared
by the City and County pursuant to a tax sharing agreement.
