The presentation/study update includes the following information:
The consultants looked at key Intersections currently operating at unacceptable levels of
service (LOS) and addressed the issue of number of trips generated.
· They anticipate a 40 percent increase in traffic in the UVAP area outside of the City.
· One of the reasons for delays in the study results and corresponding traffic study
recommendations for improvements to streets and key intersections is the difficulty of
assessing impact of potential developments on Lovers Lane and the former Masonite site.
The next presentation by Omni Means concerning the Citywide Traffic Study will provide a more
detailed list of the improvements and associated costs, which will include a draft circulation plan.
Mayor Ashiku stated it would be helpful to know what the anticipated traffic impact fees and
corresponding fee schedule are so that effective decisions about any development can be made.
.Councilmember McCowen understands the need to make assumptions in order to complete the
study, but he is concerned that building these assumptions into the study and basing a fee
schedule on those assumptions might make these developments a foregone conclusion,
The consultant indicated that they could do a presentation two ways, one with assumptions and
one without. They want to be as realistic as they can so they can have an accurate fee schedule.
The majority of the costs are going to be to the City where the improvements are not going to be
in the City.
City Manager Horaley advised staff and the consultants met with County staff today to discuss
the possibility of having a shared fee and the County was very open to this.

Mayor Ashiku stated that at the regular February 15, 2006 Council meeting, Council directed the
City Attorney to prepare a draft Ordinance amending the current system of appointing
Commissioners. The revised ordinance would permit each Councilmember to nominate a
Commissioner requiring final ratification by a vote of the full Council.
Public Hearing Opened: 7:12:02 PM
Steve Scalmanini stated the current method allows for diversity with each Councilmember
having a choice.
Public Hearing Closed: 7:13:37 PM
Councilmember McCowen supports making a change whereby each Councilmember, as a
courtesy, has the right to nominate a Commissioner of his/her choice with the expectation that the
majority of the Council would unanimously approve the selection. There should be a "check and
balance" in the rare circumstance when someone is clearly not qualified to perform the functions
of a Planning Commissioner.
Councilmember Crane made a motion to continue this item.
Councilmember Baldwin seconded the motion.
Councilmember McCowen stated the proposed change is reasonable. The objections raised to
Regular Ukiah City Council Meeting
June 21, 2006
Page 7
the Ordinance only have validity if one assumes ulterior motives on the part of one's peers.
Councilmember Crane supports that the revised ordinance is an improvement over the process
currently in effect. However, Planning Commission decorum is an important factor to him.
City Attorney Rapport stated that the City Code provides that a Commissioner serves at the
pleasure of the Council and can be removed at any time. Furthermore, Finding No. 4 of the
revised Ordinance reads, "It is the expectation of the City Council that the Commissioner
nominated by a City Council member will be approved by a majority vote of the City Council,
except in unusual circumstance, where a majority of the City Council does not believe that the
candidate is suited to perform the functions of a Planning Commissioner, which include an ability
to understand and apply the laws and standards that apply to Commission decisions, listen
carefully to evidence and argument presented during Commission meetings, make reasoned
decisions and clearly articulate positions."

Ashiku. YES: Baldwin. ABSENT: Councilmember Rodin. ABSTAIN: None.
Councilmember Crane recommended adding language to Finding No. 4 relating to a
Commissioner's ability to follow the rules of conduct of the Planning Commission that would read
"It is the expectation of the City Council that the Commissioner nominated by a City Council
member will be approved by a majority vote of the City Council, except in unusual circumstance,
where a majority of the City Council does not believe that the candidate is suited to perform the
functions of a Planning Commissioner, which include an ability to understand and apply the laws

tlb. Discussion and possible Approval of Memorandum of Understanding for
Preliminary Review for Development of Potential Water Supply
City Manager Horsley reported the various water districts/public agencies in the County have
met to discuss developing additional water supplies and cooperating with one another on other
projects in order to effectively improve water availability and service to customers. The MOU is
being brought before the City Council for the first time. The MOU places an expenditure cap of
$90,000 on the cost of the feasibility study, but the actual cost could be less. Each agency can
decide whether it has an interest in further exploring the feasibility of the project.
City Attorney Rapport reviewed the agreement and proposed some changes should Council
decide to enter into an MOU. Hopland PUD has developed a draft MOU to explore the basic
feasibility of the project.
Councilmember Crane stated this concept takes into account collection of winter water and it
may provide some opportunities for reuse. The most interesting aspect of the project is that it
involves a group of water purveyors trying to work toward a common goal.
Public Hearing Opened: 8:02:08 PM

Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District concerning the
proposed project.

a common goal.
Councilmember McCowen referred to suggested point no. 2 of the staff report concerning
additional language and clarified that each agency has the same right regarding selection of the
consultant, the RFP, etc. He favored that whatever the majority of the agencies agree to is what
should be considered. He supports all the suggestions except nos. 4 and 6.
The subject of appointment of agent came up and it was agreed that no decision is necessary at
this time.
Councilmember Baldwin suggested checking with Russian River Flood Control agency about
the matter of additional water for customers.
The Council is supportive of pursuing the feasibility study and gave direction to City Attorney
RapPort regarding suggested revisions t,o the corresponding MOU. It was the consensus of the
Councilmembers present to bring this matter back to Council for further review.
