AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Award Contract to Diamond D Construction, LLC for Specification 20-15, Replacing a 12-inch
Water Line at Hydroelectric Plant of Ukiah CA, in the Amount of $197,000; and Approve a Corresponding
Budget Amendment.
DEPARTMENT: Electric Utility PREPARED BY: Mary Williamson, Buyer II
PRESENTER: Consent Calendar
ATTACHMENTS:
1. RFP - Replace 12 Inch Water Line at Hydro
2. Diamond D Revised Bid 01292021
Summary: Council will consider awarding a contract in the amount of $197,000 for the 12-inch pipe
replacement to Diamond D Construction, LLC; and approve a corresponding budget amendment.
Background: Lake Mendocino Hydroelectric Plant (Plant) has been in operation since 1986 and and provides
up to 10% of the City's energy needs with clean, renewable energy. The Plant is located adjacent to the Lake
Mendocino Fish Hatchery. The Fish Hatchery is operated by the California Department of Fish and Game and
provides a vital role in restoring steelhead populations to the Russian River. As a condition of the Plant's
operation, the City is required to provide, operate and maintain a water supply system as outlined in Article 35
of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license.
The primary water source to the Hatchery is provided through a 12" pipeline. This steel pipeline was repaired
in 2010 but has suffered an additional failure. Due to the depth of the supply line (16') and the pipe condition,
Staff is recommending replacement with HDPE installed at a shallower depth.
Discussion: On December 7, 2020 a Request for Bid (RFB) for this project was released to sixty contractors
from the City's qualified bidders list, eighteen Northern California builders exchanges and posted to the City's
website. Please refer to Attachment 1 for a copy of the RFB.
Bids were scheduled to be opened on January 13, 2021, but no bids were received. As per the California
Uniform Cost Accounting, if no bids are received, the City may proceed with negotiated contract. An inquiry
was then sent to several contractors that showed an interest in the project and Diamond D Construction,
LLC was the only contractor to respond. Their proposed amount to do the work was $197,000 (See
attachment 2).
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Diamond D Construction, LLC in the amount of $197,000, and
approve the corresponding budget amendment. Budget amendment requested includes an additional 10% of
the project for unanticipated change orders.
Recommended Action: Award contract in the amount of $197,000 for the 12-inch pipe replacement to
Diamond D Construction, LLC; and approve a corresponding budget amendment.

7-07. Additional Drawings by City. The drawings made a part of this contract at the time of its execution are
intended to be fairly comprehensive and to indicate in more or less detail the scope of the work. In addition to these
drawings, however, the Engineer shall furnish such additional drawings from time to time during the progress of the
work as are necessary to make clear or to define in greater detail the intent of the Special Provisions and the
contract drawings and the Contractor shall make his or her work conform to all such drawings.
7-08. Additional and Emergency Protection. Whenever, in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor has not
taken sufficient precautions for the safety of the public or the protection of the works to be constructed under this
contract, or of adjacent structures or property which may be injured by the processes of construction on account of
such neglect and whenever, in the opinion of the Engineer, an emergency shall arise and immediate action shall be
considered necessary in order to protect public or private, personal or property interest, then and in that event, the
Engineer, with or without notice to the Contractor may provide suitable protection to the said interests by causing
such work to be done and such material to be furnished as shall provide such protection as the Engineer may
consider necessary and adequate.
The cost and expense of such work and material so furnished shall be borne by the Contractor and, if the same
shall not be paid on presentation of the bills therefor, then such costs shall be deducted from any amounts due or to
become due the Contractor.
The performance of such emergency work under the direction of the Engineer shall in no way relieve the Contractor
from any damages which may occur during or after such precaution has been taken by the Engineer.
7-09. Suspension of Work. The City may at any time suspend the work or any part thereof by giving five (5) days
written notice to the Contractor. The work shall be resumed by the Contractor within ten (10) days after the date
fixed in the written notice from the City to the Contractor so to do. The City shall reimburse the Contractor for
expense incurred by the Contractor in connection with the work under this contract as a result of such suspension.
If the work, or any part thereof, shall be stopped by the notice in writing aforesaid and if the City does not give
notice in writing to the Contractor to resume work at a date within ten (10) days of the date fixed in the written notice
to suspend, then the Contractor may abandon that portion of the work so suspended and he or she will be entitled
Page 103 of 475
REPLACE 12 INCH WATER LINE AT HYDROELECTRIC PLANT 15 Spec. No. 20-15
to the estimates and payments for all work done on the portions so abandoned, if any, plus 5 percent of the value of
the work so abandoned, to compensate for loss of overhead, plant expense and anticipated profit.
7-10. Right of City to Terminate Contract. If the Contractor should be adjudged a bankrupt, or if he or she
should make a general assignment for the benefit of his or her creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on
account of his or her insolvency, or if he or she should persistently or repeatedly refuse or should fail, except in
cases for which extension of time is provided, to supply sufficient properly skilled workmen or proper materials, or if
he or she should fail to make prompt payments to subcontractors or for material or labor, or persistently disregard
laws, ordinances or the instructions of the Engineer, or otherwise be guilty of a substantial violation of any provision
of the contract, then the City, upon the certificate of the Engineer that sufficient cause exists to justify such action,
may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy and after giving the Contractor seven days written notice,
terminate the employment of the Contractor and take possession of the premises and of all materials, tools and
appliances and finish the work by whatever method the City may deem expedient. In such case, the Contractor
shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the contract
price shall exceed the expense of finishing the work, including compensation for additional managerial and
administrative services, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such expense shall exceed such unpaid
balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the City. The expense incurred by the City as herein provided
and the damage incurred through the Contractor's default, shall be certified by the Engineer.
7-11. Use of Completed Portions. The City shall have the right to take possession of and use any completed or
partially completed portions of the work, notwithstanding the time for completing the entire work or such portions
which may not have expired; but such taking possession and using shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work
not completed in accordance with the contract documents. If such prior use increases the cost of or delays the
work, the Contractor shall be entitled to such extra compensation, or extension of time or both, as the Engineer
may determine.
SECTION 8. WORKMANSHIP, MATERIALS and EQUIPMENT
8-01. General Quality. Materials and equipment shall be new and of a quality equal to that specified or approved.
Work shall be done and completed in a thorough and workmanlike manner.
8-02. Quality in Absence of Detailed Specifications. Whenever under this contract it is provided that the
Contractor shall furnish materials or manufactured articles or shall do work for which no detailed specifications are
set forth, the materials or manufactured articles shall be of the best grade in quality and workmanship obtainable in
the market from firms of established good reputation, or, if not ordinarily carried in stock, shall conform to the usual
standards for first-class materials or articles of the kind required, with due consideration of the use to which they
are to be put. In general, the work performed shall be in full conformity and harmony with the intent to secure the
best standard of construction and equipment of the work as a whole or in part.
8-03. Materials and Equipment Specified by Name. Whenever any material or equipment is indicated or
specified by patent or proprietary name or by the name of the manufacturer, such specification shall be considered
as used for the purpose of describing the material or equipment desired and shall be considered as followed by the
words "or approved equal". The Contractor may offer any material or equipment which shall be equal in every
respect to that specified, provided that written approval first is obtained from the Engineer.
8-04. Source of Materials. Price, fitness and quality being equal, preference shall be given by the Contractor for
supplies grown, manufactured or produced in the State of California and, next, for such products partially produced
in this State in accordance with Government Code Section 4332.
8-05. Storage of Materials. Materials shall be so stored to ensure the preservation of their quality and fitness for
the work. They shall be so located and disposed that prompt and proper inspection thereof may be made.
8-06. Drawings, Samples and Tests. As soon as possible after execution of the contract, the Contractor shall
submit to the Engineer, in quintuplicate, sufficient information including, if necessary, assembly and detail drawings
to demonstrate fully that the equipment and materials to be furnished comply with the provisions and intent of these
Special Provisions and Drawings. If the information thus submitted indicates the equipment or materials is
acceptable, the Engineer will return one copy stamped with his or her approval; otherwise, one copy will be returned
with an explanation of why the equipment or material is unsatisfactory. The Contractor shall have no claims for
Page 104 of 475
REPLACE 12 INCH WATER LINE AT HYDROELECTRIC PLANT 16 Spec. No. 20-15
damages or for extension of time on account of any delay due to the revision of drawings or rejection of material.
Fabrication or other work performed in advance of approval shall be done entirely at the Contractor's risk. After
approval of equipment or material, the Contractor shall not deviate in any way from the design and specifications
given without the written consent of the Engineer.
When requested by the Engineer, a sample or test specimens of the materials to be used or offered for use in
connection with the work shall be prepared at the expense of the Contractor and furnished by him or her in such
quantities and sizes as may be required for proper examination and tests, with all freight charges prepaid and with
information as to their sources.
All samples shall be submitted before shipment and in ample time to permit the making of proper tests, analyses,
or examination before the time at which it is desired to incorporate the material into the work. All tests of materials
furnished by the Contractor shall be made by the Engineer. Samples shall be secured and tested whenever
necessary to determine the quality of the material.
SECTION 9. PROSECUTION OF WORK
9-01. Equipment and Methods. The work under this contract shall be prosecuted with all materials, tools,
machinery, apparatus and labor and by such methods as are necessary to the complete execution of everything
described, shown, or reasonably implied. If at any time before the beginning or during the progress of the work, any
part of the Contractor's plant or equipment, or any of his or her methods of execution of the work, appear to the
Engineer to be unsafe, inefficient, or inadequate to insure the required quality or the rate of progress of the work, he
or she may order the Contractor to increase or improve his or her facilities or methods and the Contractor shal l
comply promptly with such orders; but, neither compliance with such orders nor failure of the Engineer to issue
such orders shall relieve the Contractor from his or her obligation to secure the degree of safety, the quality of the
work and the rate of progress required of the Contractor. The Contractor alone shall be responsible for the safety,
adequacy and efficiency of his or her plant, equipment and methods.
9-02. Time of Completion. The Contractor shall promptly begin the work under this contract and shall complete
and make ready for full use all portions of the project made the subject of this contract within the time set forth in
the agreement bound herewith.
9-03. Avoidable Delays. Avoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work shall include all delays
which might have been avoided by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence on the part of the
Contractor. The City will consider as avoidable delays within the meaning of this contract (1) delays in the
prosecution of parts of the work, which may in themselves be unavoidable, but do not necessarily prevent or delay
the prosecution of other parts of the work nor the completion of the whole work within the time herein specified, (2)
reasonable loss of time resulting from the necessity of submitting plans to the Engineer for approval and from the
making of surveys, measurements, inspections, and testing and (3) such interruptions as may occur in the
prosecution of the work on account of the reasonable interference of other contractors employed by the City which
do not necessarily prevent the completion of the whole work within the time herein specified.
9-04. Unavoidable Delays. Unavoidable delays in the prosecution or completion of the work under this contract
shall include all delays which may result, through cause beyond the control of the Contractor and which he or she
could not have provided against by the exercise of care, prudence, foresight and diligence. Orders issued by the
City changing the amount of work to be done, the quantity of material to be furnished or the manner in which the
work is to be prosecuted and unforeseen delays in the completion of the work of other contractors under contract
with the City will be considered unavoidable delays, so far as they necessarily interfere with the Contractor's
completion of the whole of the work. Delays due to normally adverse weather conditions will not be regarded as
unavoidable delays. However, truly abnormal amounts of rainfall, temperatures or other weather conditions for the
location of the work and time of year may be considered as unavoidable delays if those conditions necessarily
cause a delay in the completion of the work.
9-05. Notice of Delays. Whenever the Contractor foresees any delay in the prosecution of the work and, in any
event, immediately upon the occurrence of any delay which the contractor regards as an unavoidable delay, he or
she shall notify the Engineer in writing of the probability of the occurrence of such delay and its cause, in order that
the Engineer may take immediate steps to prevent, if possible, the occurrence or continuance of the delay, or, if this
cannot be done, may determine whether the delay is to be considered avoidable or unavoidable, how long it
continues and to what extent the prosecution and completion of the work are to be delayed thereby.
Page 105 of 475
REPLACE 12 INCH WATER LINE AT HYDROELECTRIC PLANT 17 Spec. No. 20-15
9-06. Extension of Time. Should any delays occur which the Engineer may consider unavoidable, as herein
defined, the Contractor shall, pursuant to his or her application, be allowed an extension of time proportional to said
delay or delays, beyond the time herein set forth, in which to complete this contract; and liquidated damages for
delay shall not be charged against the Contractor by the City during an extension of time granted bec ause of
unavoidable delay or delays.
Any claim by Contractor for a time extension based on unavoidable delays shall be based on written notice
delivered to the Engineer within 15 days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. Failure to file said
written notice within the time specified shall constitute a waiver of said claim. Notice of the full extent of the claim
and all supporting data must be delivered to the Engineer within 45 days of the occurrence unless the Engineer
specifies in writing a longer period. All claims for a time extension must be approved by the Engineer and
incorporated into a written change order.
9-07. Unfavorable Weather and Other Conditions. During unfavorable weather and other conditions, the
Contractor shall pursue only such portions of the work as shall not be damaged thereby. No portions of the work
whose satisfactory quality or efficiency will be affected by any unfavorable conditions shall be constructed while
these conditions remain, unless, by special means or precautions approved by the Engineer, the Contractor shall
be able to overcome them.
The Contractor shall be granted a time extension of one day for each unfavorable weather day which prevents him
or her from placing concrete forms or placing and finishing concrete or asphalt concrete. Such unfavorable weather
day is defined as a rain day where precipitation prevents the contractor from performing the work more than four (4)
continuous hours within the authorized work period or a temperature day where the ambient temperature is below
that specified for the placement of materials associated with the controlling work item for more than four (4)
continuous work hours of the authorized work period.
9-08. Saturday, Sunday, Holiday and Night Work. No work shall be done between the hours of 6 p.m. and 7
a.m., nor on Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays except such work as is necessary for the proper care and
protection of work already performed, or except in cases of absolute necessity and in any case only w ith the
permission of the Engineer.
It is understood, however, that night work may be established as a regular procedure by the Contractor if he or she
first obtains the written permission of the Engineer and that such permission may be revoked at any tim e by the
Engineer if the Contractor fails to maintain at night adequate force and equipment for reasonable prosecution and
to justify inspection of the work.
9-09. Hours of Labor. Eight (8) hours of labor shall constitute a legal day's work and the Contractor or any
subcontractor shall not require or permit more than eight hours of labor in a day from any person employed by him
or her in the performance of the work under this contract, unless paying compensation for all hours worked in
excess of eight (8) hours per day at not less than 1½ times the basic rate of pay. The Contractor shall forfeit to the
City, as a penalty, the sum of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each workman employed in the execution of the
contract by him or her or by any subcontractor, for each calendar day during which such laborer, workman, or
mechanic is required or permitted to labor more than eight hours in violation of the provisions of Section 1810 to
1816, inclusive, (Article 3, Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2) of the Labor Code of the State of California and any acts
amendatory thereof.
SECTION 10. PAYMENT
10-01. Certification by Engineer. All payments under this contract shall be made upon the presentation of
certificates in writing from the Engineer and shall show that the work covered by the payments has been done and
the payments thereof are due in accordance with this contract.
10-02. Progress Estimates and Payment. The Engineer shall, within the first seven (7) days of each month,
make an estimate of the value of the work performed in accordance with this contract during the previous calendar
month.
The first estimate shall be of the value of the work satisfactorily completed in place and meeting the requirements
of the contract. And every subsequent estimate, except the final estimate, shall be of the value of the work
satisfactorily completed in place since the last preceding estimate was made; provided, however, that should the
Page 106 of 475
REPLACE 12 INCH WATER LINE AT HYDROELECTRIC PLANT 18 Spec. No. 20-15
Contractor fail to adhere to the program of completion fixed in this contract, the Engineer shall deduct from the next
and all subsequent estimates the full calculated accruing amount of the liquidated damages to the date of said
estimate, until such time as the compliance with the program has been restored.
The estimate shall be signed by the Engineer and, after approval, the City shall pay or cause to be paid to the
Contractor in the manner provided by law, an amount equal to 95 percent of the estimated value of the work
satisfactorily performed and complete in place.
10-03. Substitution of Securities.
1. At such times that Pubic Contract Code Section 22300 is in effect Contractor may propose the substitution of
securities of at least equal market value for any moneys to be withheld to ensure performance under the Contract.
Market value shall be determined as of the day prior to the date such substitution is to take place. Such substitution
shall be made at the request and expense of the Contractor. The securities shall be one or more of the following
types:
(a) Bonds or interest-bearing notes or obligations of the United States, or those for which the faith and
credit of the United States are pledged for the payment of principal and interest.

(l) Bonds, debentures and notes issued by corporations organized and operating within the United States.
Such securities eligible for substitution shall be within the top three ratings of a nationally recognized rating

2. The securities shall be deposited with City or with any commercial bank as escrow agent, who shall arrange for
transfer of such securities to the Contractor upon satisfactory completion of the contract. Any interest accrued or
paid on such securities shall belong to the Contractor and shall be paid upon satisfactory completion of the
contract.
The market value of the securities deposited shall at all times be maintained in an amount at least equal, in the sole
judgment of City, to the moneys to be withheld pursuant to the Contract Documents to ensure performance of the
Contract. In order to comply with this condition, Contractor shall deposit additional securities as necessary upon
request by City or the escrow agent.
3. Upon acceptance of any Proposal that includes substituting securities for amounts withheld to ensure
performance, a separate escrow agreement satisfactory in form and substance to City shall be prepared and
executed by City, the Contractor and the escrow agent, which may be City. The escrow agreement shall specify,
among other matters, value of securities to be deposited; procedures for valuing the securities and for adding or
withdrawing securities to maintain the market value of the deposited securities at least equal to the amount of
moneys which would otherwise be withheld; the terms and conditions of conversion to cash in case of the default by
the Contractor; and terms, conditions and procedure for termination of the escrow. City shall have no obligation to
enter any such Agreement that does not provide the City with the unilateral right to convert securities to cash and to
gain immediate possession of the cash.
10-04. Acceptance. The work must be accepted by vote of the City Council of the City of Ukiah when the whole
shall have been completed satisfactorily. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer, in writing, of the completion of
the work, whereupon the Engineer shall promptly, by personal inspection, satisfy himself as to the actual
completion of the work in accordance with the terms of the contract and shall thereupon recommend acceptance by
the City Council.
10-05. Final Estimate and Payment. The Engineer shall, as soon as practicable after the final acceptance of the
work done under this contract, make a final estimate of the amount of work done thereunder and the value thereof.
Such final estimate shall be signed by the Engineer, and after approval, the City shall pay or cause to be paid to the
Contractor, in the manner provided by law, the entire sum so found to be due hereunder, after deducting therefrom
all previous payments and such other lawful amounts as the terms of this contract prescribe.
In no case will final payment be made in less than thirty-five (35) days after the filing of the notice of completion with
the County Recorder.
10-06. Delay Payments. Should any payment due the Contractor or any estimate be delayed, through fault of the
City beyond the time stipulated, such delay shall not constitute a breach of contract or be the basis for a claim for
damages, but the City shall pay the Contractor interest on the amount of the payment at the rate of 6 percent per
annum for the period of such delay. The terms for which interest will be paid shall be reckoned, in the case of any
monthly or progress payment, from the twentieth day of the month next succeeding the month in which the work
was performed to the date of payment of the estimate; and in the case of the final estimate, from the forty-fifth day
after acceptance to the date of payment of the final estimate.
The date of payment of any estimate shall be considered the day on which the payment is offered or mailed as
evidenced by the records of the Treasurer of the City. If interest shall become due on any delayed payment, the
amount thereof, as determined by the City, shall be added to a succeeding payment. If the interest shall become
due on the final payment, it shall be paid on a supplementary voucher to interest or any sum or sums which, by the
terms of this contract, the City is authorized to reserve or retain.
10-07. Extra Work and Work Omitted. Whenever corrections, alterations, or modifications of the work under this
contract ordered by the Engineer and approved by the City increase the amount of work to be done, such added
Page 108 of 475
REPLACE 12 INCH WATER LINE AT HYDROELECTRIC PLANT 20 Spec. No. 20-15
work shall be known as "extra work"; and when such corrections, alterations, or modifications decrease the amount
of work to be done, such subtracted work shall be known as "work omitted".
When the Contractor considers that any changes ordered involve extra work, he or she shall immediately notify the
Engineer in writing and subsequently keep him or her informed as to when and where extra work is to be performed
and shall make claim for compensation therefor each month not later than the first day of the month following that
in which the work claimed to be extra work was performed and he or she shall submit a daily complete statement of
materials and labor used and expenses incurred on account of extra work performed, showing allocation of all
materials, labor and expenses.
All such claims shall state the date of the Engineer's written order and the date of approval by the City authorizing
the work on account of which claim is made. Unless such notification is made in writing within the time specified
and unless complete statements of materials used and expenses incurred on account of such extra work are
furnished as above required, the Contractor shall not be entitled to payment on account of extra work and
Contractor shall be deemed to have waived the right to make any future claims for compensation for such extra
work.
When changes decrease the amount of work to be done, they shall not constitute a claim for damages on account
of anticipated profits on the work that may be omitted.
10-08. Compensation for Extra Work or Work Omitted. Whenever corrections, additions, or modifications in
the work under this contract change the amount of work to be done or the amount of compensation due the
Contractor, excepting increases or decreases in contract items having unit contract prices for each measurable
quantity installed in place, and such changes have been ordered in writing by the Engineer and approved by the
City prior to the Contractor performing the extra work, then a price may be agreed upon. Failing such an agreement
in price, the Contractor shall be compensated for performing extra work pursuant to the provisions of Section 4-
1.03 D,"Extra Work", and Section 9-1.03,"Force Account Payment" of the Standard Specifications.
This method of determining the price of work shall not apply to the performance of any work which is required or
reasonably implied to be performed or furnished under this contract.
10-09. Compensation to the City for Extension of Time. In case the work called for under this contract is not
completed within the time limit stipulated herein, the City shall have the right as provided hereinabove, to extend the
time of completion thereof. If the time limit be so extended, the City shall have the right to charge to the Contractor
and to deduct from the final payment for the work the actual cost to the City of engineering, inspection,
superintendence and other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the contract and which accrue
during the period of such extension, except that the cost of final unavoidable delays shall not be included in such
charges.
10-10. Liquidated Damages for Delay. It is agreed by the parties to the contract that time is of the essence and
that, in case all the work is not completed before or upon the expiration of the time limit as set forth, damage, other
than those cost items identified in section 10-09, will be sustained by the City and that it is and will be impracticable
to determine the actual amount of damage by reason of such delay; and it is therefore agreed that the Contractor
will pay to the City the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per day for each and every calendar day's delay
beyond the time prescribed.
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS
11-01. Notice. Whenever any provision of the contract documents requires the giving of written notice, it shall be
deemed to have been validly given if delivered in person to the individual or to a member of the firm or to an officer
of the corporation for whom it is intended, or if delivered at or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,
to the last business address known to the giver of the notice. If mailed, the notice shall be deemed received on the
date of delivery stated in the return receipt.
11-02. Computation of Time. When any period of time is referred to in the Contract Documents by days, it shall
be computed to exclude the first and include the last day of such period. If the last day of any such period falls on a
Page 109 of 475
REPLACE 12 INCH WATER LINE AT HYDROELECTRIC PLANT 21 Spec. No. 20-15
Saturday or Sunday or on a day made a legal holiday by the law of the applicable jurisdiction, such day shall be
omitted from the computation.
11-03. Claims Procedure Required by Public Contract Code Section 9204. This section shall apply to any claim
by the Contractor arising in connection with this project in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 9204.
a, For purposes of this section "Claim" means a separate demand by the Contractor sent by registered mail or
certified mail with return receipt requested, for one or more of the following:
(A) A time extension, including, without limitation, for relief from damages or penalties for delay assessed
by the City under this contract.
(B) Payment by the City of money or damages arising from work done by, or on behalf of, the Contractor
pursuant to this contract and payment for which is not otherwise expressly provided or to which the Contractor is
not otherwise entitled.

b.
(1)
(A) Upon receipt of a claim pursuant to this section, the City shall conduct a reasonable review of
the claim and, within a period not to exceed 45 days, shall provide the Contractor a written statement identifying
what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed. Upon receipt of a claim, a public entity and the
contractor may, by mutual agreement, extend the time period provided in this subdivision.
(B) The Contractor shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim.
(C) If the City needs approval from its governing body to provide the Contractor a written
statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion of the claim, and the governing body does not
meet within the 45 days or within the mutually agreed to extension of time following receipt of a claim sent by
registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall have up to three days following the next duly
publicly noticed meeting of the governing body after the 45-day period, or extension, expires to provide the claimant
a written statement identifying the disputed portion and the undisputed portion.
(D) Any payment due on an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within
60 days after the City issues its written statement. If the City fails to issue a written statement, paragraph (3) shall
apply.
(2)
(A) If the Contractor disputes the City's written response, or if the City fails to respond to a claim
issued pursuant to this section within the time prescribed, the Contractor may demand in writing an informal
conference to meet and confer for settlement of the issues in dispute. Upon receipt of a demand in writing sent by
registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, the City shall schedule a meet and confer conference
within 30 days for settlement of the dispute.
(B) Within 10 business days following the conclusion of the meet and confer conference, if the
claim or any portion of the claim remains in dispute, the City shall provide the claimant a written statement
identifying the portion of the claim that remains in dispute and the portion that is undisputed. Any payment due on
an undisputed portion of the claim shall be processed and made within 60 days after the public entity issues its
written statement. Any disputed portion of the claim, as identified by the contractor in writing, shall be submitted to
nonbinding mediation, with the City and the Contractor sharing the associated costs equally. The City and
Contractor shall mutually agree to a mediator within 10 business days after the disputed portion of the claim has
been identified in writing. If the parties cannot agree upon a mediator, each party shall select a mediator and those
mediators shall select a qualified neutral third party to mediate with regard to the disputed portion of the claim. Each
party shall bear the fees and costs charged by its respective mediator in connection with the selection of the neutral
mediator. If mediation is unsuccessful, the parts of the claim remaining in dispute shall be subject to applicable
procedures outside this section.
Page 110 of 475
REPLACE 12 INCH WATER LINE AT HYDROELECTRIC PLANT 22 Spec. No. 20-15
(C) For purposes of this section, mediation includes any nonbinding process, including, but not
limited to, neutral evaluation or a dispute review board, in which an independent third party or board assists the
parties in dispute resolution through negotiation or by issuance of an evaluation. Any mediation utilized shall
conform to the timeframes in this section.
(D) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the City and the Contractor, the mediation conducted
pursuant to this section shall excuse any further obligation under Public Contract Code Section 20104.4 to mediate
after litigation has been commenced.
(3) Failure by the City to respond to a claim from the Contractor within the time periods described in this
subdivision or to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section shall result in the claim being deemed
rejected in its entirety. A claim that is denied by reason of the public entity's failure to have responded to a claim, or
its failure to otherwise meet the time requirements of this section, shall not constitute an adverse finding with regard
to the merits of the claim or the responsibility or qualifications of the Contractor.
(4) Amounts not paid in a timely manner as required by this section shall bea r interest at 7 percent per
annum.
(5) If a subcontractor or a lower tier subcontractor lacks legal standing to assert a claim against a public
entity because privity of contract does not exist, the Contractor may present to the public entity a claim on behalf of
a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor. A subcontractor may request in writing, either on his or her own behalf
or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that the Contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the
subcontractor or by a lower tier subcontractor on behalf of the subcontractor. The subcontractor requesting that the
claim be presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within 45 days
of receipt of this written request, the Contractor shall notify the subcontractor in writing as to whether the Contractor
presented the claim to the public entity and, if the original contractor did not present the claim, provide the
subcontractor with a statement of the reasons for not having done so.
c. A waiver of the rights granted by this section is void and contrary to public policy, provided, however, that (1)
upon receipt of a claim, the parties may mutually agree to waive, in writing, mediation and proceed directly to the
commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) the City may prescribe reasonable
change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and requirements in addition to the provisions of this
section, so long as the contractual provisions do not conflict with or otherwise impair the timeframes and
procedures set forth in this section.

enforcement or interpretation of this contract, arising out of Contractor's performance or relating in any way to the
work shall be brought in Mendocino County and that venue will lie in Mendocino County.
Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the parties waive any objections they might otherwise have to the
propriety of jurisdiction or venue in the state courts in Mendocino County and agree that California law shall govern
any such litigation.
The duties and obligations imposed by these General Conditions and the rights and remedies available hereunder
to the parties hereto and, in particular but without limitation, the warranties, guaranties and obligations imposed
upon the Contractor and all of the rights and remedies available to the City thereunder, shall be in addition to and
shall not be construed in any way as a limitation of, any rights and remedies available to any or all of them which
are otherwise imposed or available by law or contract, by special warranty or guaranty, or by other provisions of the
contract documents and the provisions of this paragraph shall be as effective as if repeated specifically in the
contract documents in connection with each particular duty, obligation, right and remedy to which they apply. All

because of race, color, religion, ancestry, or national origin. The Contractor will take affirmative action
to ensure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without
regard to their race, color, religion, ancestry, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be
limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitm ent or recruitment
advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for
training, including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to
employees and applicants for employm ent, notices to be provided by the awarding authority setting
forth the provisions of this Fair Employment Practice section.
(b) The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he or she has a
collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice, to be provided by the
awarding authority, advising the said labor union or worker's representative of the Contractor's
commitments under this section, to employees and applicants for employment.
(c) The Contractor will permit access to his or her records of employment, employment advertisements,
application forms and other pertinent data and records by the Fair Employment Practices
Commission, City of Ukiah or any other appropriate agency of the State of California designated by
the awarding authority, for the purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with the Fair
Employment Practices section of this contract.
(d) A finding of willful violation of the Fair Employment Practices section of this Co ntract or of the Fair
Employment Practices Act shall be regarded by the awarding authority as a basis for determining the
Contractor to be not a "responsible bidder" as to future contracts for which such Contractor may
submit bids, for revoking the Contractor's pre-qualification rating, if any and for refusing to establish,
reestablish or renew a pre-qualification rating for the Contractor.
The City of Ukiah shall deem a finding of willful receipt of written notice from the Fair Employment
Practices Act to have occurred upon that it has investigated and determined that the Contractor has
violated the Fair Employment Practices Act and has issued an order under Labor Code Section 1426
or obtained an injunction under Labor Code Section 1429.
Page 129 of 475
REPLACE 12 INCH WATER LINE AT HYDROELECTRIC PLANT 41 Spec. No. 20-15
Upon receipt of such written notice from the Fair Employment Practices Commission, the City shall
notify the Contractor that unless he or she demonstrates to the satisfaction of the awarding authority
within a stated period that the violation has been corrected, his or her pre-qualification rating will be
revoked at the expiration of such period.
(e) The Contractor agrees that should the City determine that the Contractor has not complied with the
Fair Employment Practices section of this Contract, then pursuant to Labor Code Section 1735 and
1775 the Contractor shall, as a penalty to the City, forfeit for each calendar day or portion thereof, for
each person who was denied employment as a result of such non-compliance, the penalties provided
in the Labor Code for violation of prevailing wage rates. Such monies may be recovered from the
Contractor. The City may deduct any such damages from any monies due the Contractor.
(f) Nothing contained in this Fair Employment Practices section shall be construed in any manner of
fashion so as to prevent the City or the State of California from pursuing any other remedies that may
be available at law.
(g) Prior to awarding the Contract, the Contractor shall certify to the awarding authority that he or she has
or will meet the following standards for affirmative compliance, which shall be evaluated in each case
by the awarding authority:
(1) The Contractor shall provide evidence, as required by the City that he or she has notified all
supervisors, foremen and other personnel officers in writing of the content of the anti-discrimination
clause and their responsibilities under it.
(2) The Contractor shall provide evidence, as required by the City, that he or she has notified all
sources of employees’ referrals (including unions, employment agencies, advertisements,
Department of Employment) of the content of the anti-discrimination clause.
(3) The Contractor shall file a basic compliance report, as required by the City. Willfully false
statements made in such reports shall be punishable as provided by law. The compliance report shall
also spell out the sources of the work force and who has the responsibility for determining whom to
hire, or whether or not to hire.
(4) Personally, or through his or her representatives, the Contractor shall, through negotiations with
the unions with whom he or she has agreements, attempt to develop an agreement which will:
a. Spell out responsibilities for nondiscrimination in hiring, referral, upgrading and training.
b. Otherwise implement an affirmative anti-discrimination program in terms of the unions'
specific areas of skill and geography to the end that qualified minority workers will be available
and given and equal opportunity for employment.
(5) The Contractor shall notify the City of opposition to the anti-discrimination clause by individuals,
firms or organizations during the period of its pre-qualification.
(h) The Contractor will include the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs 1 through 5 in every first tier
subcontract so that such provisions will be binding upon each such subcontractor.
(i) The "Fair Employment Practices Certification" must be completed and signed prior to the time of
submitting the bid.

and moisture content of the soil.
2. Loose thickness of each layer of fill shall not be more than nine inches; except, if hand-
operated power tampers are used, layers shall have a loose thickness of not more than six
inches. Static weight of hand-operated power tampers shall not be less than 100 pounds.
Contractor may increase layer thickness if a testing program indicates that a thicker layer
can be used and the specified compaction achieved. Contractor shall submit applicable test
results. Contractor shall in no case use a layer thickness greater than 12 inches. Loose
thicknesses shall be checked by Contractor during compaction operations. Each layer shall
be uniformly spread, wetted, or dried near optimum moisture content for the required degree
of compaction, as specified herein, and uniformly compacted by suitable compaction
equipment.
3. If fill has not been sufficiently compacted, as determined by field density tests, compaction
effort shall be continued and moisture content shall be adjusted to optimum, if necessary,
until the specified compaction is obtained. If the density requirements cannot be complied
with, the material shall be removed and disposed of at Contractor’s expense.
4. At the end of each work day, the surface of the compacted fill shall be smooth graded and
sloped to assure rain runoff and prevent formation of water pockets.
5. Sections of embankments or subgrade that have been damaged by Contract or’s equipment
shall be repaired and recompacted, by Contractor, in accordance with the requirements of
this Specification.
G. Compaction Requirements
1. Fill and backfill materials consisting of cohesive soils, and cohesionless soils containing
more than five percent fines (material passing No. 200 sieve in accordance with ASTM
D1140), shall be compacted to not less than the density specified hereinafter, as a percent
of maximum dry density determined in accordance with ASTM D1557.
2. Fill and backfill materials consisting of cohesionless soils containing five percent, or less,
fines shall be compacted to not less than the density specified hereinafter, as a percent of
the maximum index density as determined in accordance with ASTM D4253.
H. Moisture Content
1. Material for filling or backfilling shall have a natural moisture content, as determined in
accordance with ASTM D2216, approaching the optimum moisture content for compaction.
Contractor shall add water uniformly, by means of a distributor, to fill material deficient in
moisture content for proper compaction. If the fill material is too wet, it shall be scarified
or disked and aerated until the proper moisture content is attained. With the approval of
Owner, drier soil may be blended with overly moist soil to achieve a moisture content
suitable for compaction.

REV. 0 (Nov 17, 2020)
I. Tolerances
1. The surfaces of excavated, filled, or backfilled areas for structures and other installations,
as indicated on the attached documents, shall not vary by more than 0.10 foot from required
grade and cross section.
J. Reaction Anchorage and Blocking
1. Concrete reaction (thrust) blocking and anchorage shall be provided for all buried yard
pressurized water piping systems made up of “push on” or “mechanical type” joints and for
all at the base of any long vertical risers. The attached drawings in section 4.7 shall be used
for location and sizing of thrust blocks.
K. Pipe Coating and Wrapping
1. All underground carbon steel piping shall be shop coated with a 100 percent solid,
thermosetting, fusion-bonded, dry powder epoxy coating.
2. All surface irregularities, welds and weld spatter should be ground smooth to a 1/8 in. (3.18
mm) radius. All surfaces should be blasted to near -white metal in accordance with Steel
Structures Painting Council Surface Preparation Specification SSPC-SP10 or NACE No. 2
near-white finish.
3. Apply coating by the fluidized bed process to a thickness of not less than 30 mils. The parts
should be heated and cured in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
4. The coating should be pinhole-free and tested with a low voltage, wet sponge holiday
detector. All pinholes should be marked, repaired and retested to insure a pinhole -free
coating.
5. For piping subject to operating temperatures below 150oF, use Polyken Line Travel Coating
System or equal. For higher temperatures up to 250oF, use Polyken GO Coat 250 System
or equal.
L. Field Welding of Epoxy Coated Pipes
1. The shop applied coating cutback of epoxy coated pipe is normally adequate to prevent any
welding difficulties. Drape an 18” strip of fire retardant mating or cloth over the top and
each side of the weld to prevent spatter burning through the coating. Precautions should be
taken to ensure ventilation is adequate during welding.
M. Field Cutting
1. When field cutting, the epoxy coating will carbonize or char about 2-3 inches back from
cut. Emissions from the coating are no more toxic than those given off during the welding
procedure, however, precautions should be taken to ventilate the area, especially during tie-
ins where there is very little air movement at the bottom of the trench. Epoxy has a “sweet”
smell when it chars, which may be objectionable to some welders.
N. Joint Epoxy Coating
1. Epoxy coating can be applied to the weld area in the field using the process of black
clearing, induction heating and powder coating. Field welds can also be protected with all
commercially available joint coatings – tapes, mastic, shrink sleeves and liquid epoxy
Page 155 of 475

UNDERGROUND PIPING
FISH HATCHERY SUPPLY PIPING REPLACEMENT UNDERGROUND PIPING
167247 SPECIFICATION MS-001 - 11
REV. 0 (Nov 17, 2020)
coatings. Consult the manufacturer or its coating applicator for more information about
coating field welds.
2. The joint area should be cleaned in accordance with the joint material manufacturer’s
recommendations. Care should be taken to remove all charred or carbonized resin from the
joint area. Since factory applied epoxy is hard and smooth, it should be lightly abraded
about 2”-3” on either side of the weld to provide a good bonding surface for the joint coating
material.
O. Field Repairs
1. All areas of damage in the epoxy coating should be repaired. Before application of the repair
material, remove oil, grease, oxidation or other contaminates using a suitable solvent. The
coating in the immediate damage area should also be roughened or lightly abraded to
maximize adhesion of the patch.
P. Field Painting
1. All underground galvanized carbon steel and stainless steel piping shall be coated and
wrapped per Appendix IV - B31.1 Piping Code or AWWA C209.
a. After wrapping operations have been completed, Contractor shall conduct an
electrical inspection of all wrapped surfaces with an electrical holiday detector as
set forth in Section 6 of AWWA 203.
b. The exterior surfaces at the pipe joints shall be the same materials as used for the
shop lining and coating of the pipe.
2. No coating shall be applied within 4 inches of field weld connections. Fusion bonded epoxy
may be field applied on external field joints using induction heat. Alternative joint coatings
using hot applied tape, cold applied tape, liquid epoxy, or heat shrinkable coatings in
accordance with AWWA C203, AWWA C209, AWWA C210, AWWA C216, AWWA
C217 may be agreed by the Owner.
Q. Leak Testing (Hydrostatic Testing)
1. Leak testing of piping shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the

6. 11a Notice of Contuance
Summary: Council will consider an appeal of the Hearing Officer's decision to grant approval of a Livestock
Permit for two goats at 1070 North Oak Street.
Background: An application submitted by Ms. Angel Schramer under the City's revised Livestock Ordinance,
effective September 16, 2020, was deemed complete on November 9, 2020. The application from
Ms. Schramer was to keep two male goats in a backyard pen at her residence at 1070 North Oak Street. In
accordance with requirements outlined in Division 5, Chapter 2, Sections 4200 through 4211 of Ukiah City
Code (Attachment 1), Zoning Administrator Craig Schlatter conducted a public hearing on December 21, 2020,
and issued the Livestock Permit to Ms. Schramer, based upon the findings in UCC Section 4202- i.e. the
keeping of such animals would not create a hazard to public health or safety; would not constitute a public or
private nuisance; and would not otherwise seriously and injuriously affect living conditions or property values
in adjacent or neighboring properties. Zoning Administrator Schlatter also granted the permit subject to
conditions contained in the Staff Report for the Hearing (Attachment 2). The Zoning Administrator public
hearing is accessible on the City's website at www.cityofukiah.com/meetings, December 21, 2020 Zoning
Administrator Hearing.
On January 4, 2021, Ruth Van Antwerp and Charlene Light appealed the Zoning Administrator's decision
(Attachment 3). Per Ukiah City Code (UCC) Section 4206, appeals of Livestock Permits are to be heard by the
City's Hearing Officer. The City's current Hearing Officer is Mr. Matt Finnegan, an independent practicing
attorney who holds a contract with the City of Ukiah, in addition to currently one other jurisdiction, as the
Hearing Officer for administrative hearings such as the Livestock Permit hearing.
Hearing Officer Finnegan conducted a public administrative hearing of the appeal on January 19, 2020. The
entirety of this meeting, including public input and discussion, can be accessed on the City's website,
www.cityofukiah.com/meetings, by clicking on the "Livestock Permit Appeal Hearing" video for January 19,
2021. On January 29, 2021, the Hearing Officer issued his decision, denying the appeal and upholding the
decision of the Zoning Administrator to grant the Livestock Permit. His decision and exhibits are included as
Attachment 4.
Page 191 of 475
Page 2 of 3
In pages 1 through 5 of his decision, Mr. Finnegan lists in detail the reasons for denying the appeal from Ruth
Van Antwerp and Charlene Light and upholding the decision of the Zoning Administrator. Primary points are
summarized below:
- There was no sufficient evidence on the record of appeal that the permitted livestock at 1070 N. Oak Street
will create a hazard to public health or safety; or constitute a public or private nuisance; or otherwise seriously
and injuriously affect living conditions or property values in adjacent or neighboring properties.
- "Ukiah City Code 4203 limits the discretion of the Zoning Administrator." Because Mr. Finnegan did not find
sufficient evidence of the potential of or existence of: a public health and safety hazard, a public or private
nuisance, or "seriously and injurious" affect on Ms. Van Antwerp's property value or living conditions, Mr.
Finnegan concludes "the permit shall issue under Ukiah City Code 4203."
Regarding the two conditions Ms. Van Antwerp requested be placed on the permit, Mr. Finnegan notes on
page 4 of his decision:
"It is my opinion and ruling the first condition is beyond the intended jurisdiction of the livestock permit process
and such unrelated conditions would be something the Zoning Administrator should not have the authority to
order, consequently I will not place that condition on the issuance of the permit."
"The second condition is reasonably related to the livestock permit. However it is my opinion and ruling, the
lack of a visual barrier does not create one of the three conditions in Section 4202, therefore I will not require
that as a condition of the permit order."
On February 8, 2021, Ruth Van Antwerp appealed the decision of Hearing Officer Matt Finnegan (Attachment
5). Per UCC Section 4206, appeals of the Hearing Officer's decisions are considered and decided upon by the
City Council.
Discussion: Ms. Van Antwerp has requested two extra conditions be placed upon the issuance of the permit-
that the animals be safe and dry and that the fence between the goats and Ms. Van Antwerp's property shield
the goats from any type of view. These conditions would be in addition to the conditions of approval already
approved by the Zoning Administrator. In his January 29, 2021 decision, the Hearing Officer refuted the
arguments made by the Appellant for these two extra conditions to be placed upon the permit, instead
affirming the issuance of the Livestock Permit as approved by the Zoning Administrator.
Additionally, Ms. Van Antwerp notes in her February 8, 2021 appeal that "The City has twice stated that the
goats cannot be seen from any other parcel." This statement implies the Hearing Officer is a representative of
the City, or can speak on behalf of the City, which is not true. As Mr. Finnegan notes in his opening remarks at
the January 19, 2021 Hearing Officer meeting, he is not an employee of the City, nor does he represent the
City. Mr. Finnegan is a practicing attorney, independent from the City, who has a contract with the City to
perform impartial, unbiased administrative reviews of certain permits such as the Livestock Permit.
Finally, there have been no changes to the project since the date of application that would warrant additional
conditions or any reasons for the upholding of the appeal (denying of the permit). Requirements outlined in
UCC 4200 require the Zoning Administrator and Hearing Officer to base decisions upon findings of fact within
the record, which has been accomplished through research, analysis, discussions with the applicant and
appellant, and site visits.
For these reasons, Staff recommends City Council deny the appeal of Ruth Van Antwerp, upholding the
decision of the Hearing Officer and approving the issuance of the permit to Ms. Angel Schramer, in
accordance with Ukiah City Code.

On September 16, 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1206, amending the Ukiah City
Code (UCC) to authorize the Zoning Administrator to make determinations on livestock permits.
The ordinance outlines the process by which goats, among other livestock, may be kept within
the Ukiah City limits. UCC §4201 lists the information required in the application. Once an
application is deemed complete, Staff schedules a public hearing; during which the Zoning
Administrator reviews the application package, and determines if the keeping of the requested
animals would create or continue any hazards to public health or safety, constitute a public or
private nuisance; or otherwise seriously and injuriously affect living conditions or property values
in adjacent or neighboring properties (UCC §4202). If the Zoning Administrator find that none of
the conditions are or would be present, he/she shall issue the Livestock Permit. This permit may
be unconditional, or may contain such conditions as are deemed necessary by the Zoning
Administrator.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
An application was received by Angel Schramer, owner of 1070 North Oak Street, requesting to
keep two male goats in a 1,000 sf fenced pen, in the corner of her backyard as indicated by the
provided site plan. The application contains responses to the required information as follows:
Required Information Applicant's Response
Type and number of animals Two adult male goats, debudded and wethered
Place animals are to be kept:
1,000 sf fenced pen in corner of backyard (site plan
provided)
Length of time Applicant intends to keep such animals at
such place: For the duration of the animals' lives
How the area will be kept maintained and cleaned so as
not to create a hazard to public health or safety
The pen is deep cleaned weekly and maintained
daily.
Description of the supervision conditions of the animals -
feeding, cleaning, waste disposal, etc.
The water is changed every other day, or as deemed
necessary. They are fed alfalfa daily and get lots of
grains and vegetable scraps, and other treats. The
bedding and manure is cleaned and put into a
receptical for disposal.
Description as to why the applicant believes that the
keeping of the animals will not affect living conditions or
property values in adjacent or neighboring properties
The animals are quiet, they do not jump, they are
non-aggressive, do not smell, are regularly wormed
and vaccinated, and deter vermin and invasive
plans, and clear vegetation that could potentially
create fire hazards. They are not visible to any
neighbors, and fly traps are used in the livestock
pens. The slope of the yard does not cause runoff
off-site.
Other information as required by the Zoning
Administrator or Planning Staff
Staff performed a site visit. No additional
information was requested.

STAFF ANALYSIS
UCC §4202 requires Zoning Administrator determination if keeping the requested animals as
requested in the application would create or continue conditions which create a hazard to public
health or safety, constitute a public or private nuisance, or otherwise seriously and injuriously
affect living conditions or property values in adjacent or neighboring properties.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY. The Application contains a detailed description of the ways the pen
is maintained, both daily and through a weekly deep cleaning. The animals have been altered,
wethered and debudded, to make them calmer. During the site visit, Staff witnessed a flat, clean
pen, with a six-foot wooden fence between the yard and the adjacent parcels, with a shorter, wire
fence enclosing the animals. Both fences appear to be in sound condition. There are no platforms
or gathered debris upon which the goats could climb to escape the pen. There were no nuisance
insects noted during the site visit. The animals were calm, curious and gentle upon approach.
PRIVATE OR PUBLIC NUISANCE. The Application describes interaction with the goats and family
members on a regular basis. The pen is maintained and was not odorous at the site visit. No loud
sounds were heard from the animals during the site visit, and they are not visible from outside the
Project Parcel. A few toys and pumpkins were in the pen for entertainment of the goats. There
are no platforms or debris in the pen which would enable the goats to escape to neighboring
parcels. Staff did not observe any trees hanging over into the pen which could be damaged.
SERIOUS AND INJURIOUS AFFECT TO LIVING CONDITIONS OR PROPERTY VALUES IN ADJACENT OR
NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES. Please see above responses.

have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on
the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
• The site is essentially flat, with no significant chance of runoff.
• The animals are kept in a clean, open area, with sufficient shelter
• The Application describes maintenance for both the animals and the pen that is adequate
to keep their keeping from becoming a nuisance.

FINDINGS TO APPROVE LIVESTOCK PERMIT FOR THE KEEPING OF TWO GOATS BY
ANGEL SCHRAMER AT 1070 NORTH OAK AVENUE (APN 002-072-12);
FILE NO. 20-5887
The following findings are supported by and based on information contained in this staff report,
the application materials and documentation, and the public record, in accordance with UCC
Sections 9262 and 9263.
1. The proposed keeping of such animals would not create a hazard to public health or safety.
The Application contains a detailed description of the ways the pen is maintained, both
daily and through a weekly deep cleaning. The animals have been altered, wethered and
debudded, to make them calmer. During the site visit, Staff witnessed a flat, clean pen,
with a six-foot wooden fence between the yard and the adjacent parcels, with a shorter,
wire fence enclosing the animals. Both fences appear to be in sound condition. There are
no platforms or gathered debris upon which the goats could climb to escape the pen.
There were no nuisance insects noted during the site visit. The animals were calm, curious
and gentle upon approach.
2. The proposed keeping of such animals would not constitute a public or private nuisance.
The Application describes interaction with the goats and family members on a regular
basis. The pen is maintained and was not odorous at the site visit. No loud sounds were
heard from the animals during the site visit, and they are not visible from outside the
Project Parcel. A few toys and pumpkins were in the pen for entertainment of the goats.
There are no platforms or debris in the pen which would enable the goats to escape to
neighboring parcels. Staff did not observe any trees hanging over into the pen which could
be damaged.
3. The proposed keeping of such animals would not cause serious and injurious affect to living
conditions or property values in adjacent or neighboring properties.
The care and maintenance described in the Application is sufficient to ensure the keeping
of the animals will not cause serious and injurious affect to living conditions or property
values in adjacent or neighboring properties.
Based on the above analysis, the findings required for the Livestock Permit for the keeping of two
goats by Angel Schramer, at 1070 North Oak Avenue.

Schramer Livestock Permit
Two goats will be housed within a 1000sq ft pen on the back, south western side of the 16,000sq ft
property. The animals will be used as companion animals (not of value as livestock) for the remainder of
thier lives. The pen is deep cleaned once a week and maintained daily. Their bedding and manure is
cleaned up thoroughly and put into a receptical for disposal. The animals water is changed every other
day or as deemed neccesssary, they are fed alfalfa daily and get lots of grains and vegetable scraps, on
top of other healthy treats. The animals are very quiet and calm animals as they are weathered,
debudded and elderly. The primary caregiver of the animals is myself (Angel Schramer) but the animals
are cared for as a family; my children are invloved with 4H for homeschooling purposes and FFA
throught the Ukiah Highschool. As the property owners adjustments as needed to our property to
increase value and maintain the health and safety of our animals. The animals do not create a nuisance,
they are quiet, they do not jump, they are non-aggressive, they do not smell, are regularly wormed and
vaccinated, and help deter vermin and obnoxious plant species from encroaching onto our property and
clear vegetation that could potentially create fire hazards. They are not visible to any neighbors as we
have continuously progressed our fencing, we use fly traps commonly used in livestock pens and change
them out once a month. Our property does not create run off into anyones yards as the slight decline
would bring runoff into my own yard if anything. There is nothing for them to climb on, and they are
confined to their own area which provides open roaming area and a suitable covered shelter.

I live at 154 Gibson St. and thus received notice about Angel Schramer’s application for two resident goats. Since I am
unable to attend the hearing on Dec. 21, I wanted those concerned to know I have no objection to two goats moving in
at 1070 N Oak.

Good Afternoon,
I have a comment to make regarding the goats on Oak Street. I believe that for city residents to have livestock residing
on their property they should receive permission from the neighbors who will be affected. There should also be a
minimum distance required from the neighbor's property line. The city should also revisit what they consider as livestock
vrs pets.

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Please enter these comments into the record of the hearing for 1070 N. Oak St. Thank you.
The photos were sent earlier today to Ms. Turner.
Mr. and Mrs. Schramer have been illegally keeping goats at 1070 N. Oak Street for six months, with the City's
permission. I have lived at 1060 N. Oak St. since June 1999. Anyone thinking of living in or buying residential property in
Ukiah needs to know that the City can and will allow your neighbors to keep livestock.
The Schramer family or their ancestors have lived next door to me for 21 years.
Ukiah municipal code section 4202 states that the zoning administrator shall make an investigation. Has this already
happened? Please post the report of such an investigation. Do the Schramers follow local laws for
animal care? Is their dog properly licensed and vaccinated? Did someone
inspect my yard when I was not home? Was the investigation more thorough than the code enforcement visit in July
that left logs next to my six‐foot fence that the goats could scale? (photo attached) Does the report include the history
of police and fire calls to 1070 N. Oak St?
In spite of the fact that the goats at 1070 N. Oak Street present a private nuisance, a possible hazard to my and my pets'
health and safety, and lower my property value, I support the issuance of this permit with some conditions. One is that
all animals kept at 1070 N. Oak Street be treated humanely, kept warm, safe, and dry. Second is the goats are to be in
an enclosure that keeps them out of my dogs' sight and out of my yard.
In June, the goats were put in a pen in sight of my dogs. This excited my dogs and still does. The goats want to engage
my dogs. I covered most of the fence with very cheap panels so my dogs could relax. This material will likely not last
one winter. It is the owners' job to enclose their goats properly. In our community property state, the goats belong to
Mr.
Schramer and Mrs. Schramer.
I have seen Mr. Schramer punch his dog in the face. I did report this to
the police, and I was told I would need video to make a case. I have
heard the dog being hit and screamed at many times in the last eight years. I have heard it growl back at Mr. Schramer.
This is an unsafe situation.
Unlike Cloverdale, Santa Rosa, and Petaluma, Ukiah does not have standards
of humane and healthy animal care. A pet needs a warm place to live,
sheltered from cold and rain. Mr. and Mrs. Schramer's dog does not have this. This short‐haired dog sleeps on a pile of
fabric in the cold.
Please see photo taken Dec 10 at 7:15 a.m. It was 33 degrees. Please see photo of the dog after days of rain, taken
December 13. I saw a professional dog‐walker offer the Schramers a dog bed. It was in her hands, and they said no.
Fifteen years ago, I offered them a dog house and they said no.

The goats smell bad and attract biting flies. This is a lesser nuisance than other nuisances from 1070 N. Oak Street. The
machine or auto shop there works almost every night. The machines make noise. The loud vehicles intermittently make
even more noise. But the worst nuisance is Mr. Schramer screaming at his family, calling them names and using the F
word as much as possible. This home has a history of police calls and screaming fights.
Mr. and Mrs. Schramer have already lowered my property value. I will be obligated to inform any potential buyer that
they will be living next to an auto or machine shop that runs day and night, they will hear adults screaming the F word at
children, pets, and each other. They will smell goats, have more flies, and potentially be exposed to disease due to
runoff. Because of this I will not build an ADU (adjunct dwelling
unit.) My comfort in my warm bed is always marred by the knowledge that poor Buddy, the dog next door is sleeping in
the cold and rain. The goats are the lesser nuisance of all these conditions.
I support the livestock permit with the conditions that all animals at
1070 N. Oak Street are kept safe, healthy, warm, and dry.

This is a Notice of Appeal requesting an appeal hearing of the Zoning Administrator's decision, made on
December 21, 2020, which approved a livestock permit at 1070 N. Oak Street with no conditions. As the
person living closest to the goats (much closer than their owners) at 1060 N. Oak Street, I asked for two
conditions to be placed on the permit. The first is that the goat owners keep the goats out of sight with
appropriate fencing. The second is that all pets at 1070 N. Oak Street be treated humanely. Neither
condition exists at this time.
The investigation of the goats was incomplete and incorrect. It appears from the photo of the goats'
pen shown at the hearing that the investigator was not close to the goats or near the fence to see that it
allows for my pets and I to see the goats. Attachment 1 of the staff report states, "the goats are not
visible from outside the project parcel."
The report stated that there was no odor. The odor depends on the wind.
My front and back yard are one inch from the goats. The distance in the photo is many feet. I often smell
their foul odor. The investigation reported that the goats are vaccinated. What was the proof of
vaccination and against which diseases? Water runoff was also mentioned. I discussed runoff with a
hydrologist and she said a report from her would say that water runs downhill, so hiring her was not
necessary.
The staff report reads, "Both fences appear to be in sound condition."
The investigator did not inspect the fence that allows my dogs to stare at the goats and the goats to
challenge my dogs to play or fight. The dogs and goats can see each other between every vertical board
on the southern fence. The investigator did not see my cheap quick fix to block most of the line of vision
on the south fence, which will not last a winter. The investigator did not see the fabric behind the west
fence placed by the goat owners, which may last only a season also. The investigator did not see the
places where my dogs watch the goats. I commented at the hearing that it is the livestock owners'
responsibility to properly enclose their animals. The fence is held together with nails, not screws, and
animals can easily loosen the boards on the twelve‐year‐old south fence.
In spite of the facts that the goats are a nuisance and they lower my property value, I support the permit
with conditions. Since I have seen and heard Mr. Schramer strike and scream at his dog for eight years, I
Attachment 3
Page 226 of 475
am concerned for the health and safety of the goats and the dog. I fear that the goats could be hit by
Mr. Schramer. It is good that the goats have a warm and dry place to lie down, and Ukiah code should
require it for the dog as well. I documented in my hearing comments the lack of shelter for the
Schramer's dog. Why does Ukiah code not protect dogs from neglect?
Please do a kindness for this dog and require a warm and dry place for him also.
I support the permit with two conditions. I am asking that the Hearing Officer place these two conditions
on the permit. One is that the livestock is properly enclosed out of sight of the neighbors. Two is that
all animals kept at 1070 N. Oak Street are kept safe, warm, and dry.
Please do a thorough investigation and look at the fence.
Attached are 4 photos. I can be reached at 707‐472‐7514 to schedule a site visit.

I wish to appeal your decision made on December 21, 2020, which issues a permit for the Schramer
family at 1070 N. Oak Street to keep two elderly goats on their property, until you have thoroughly
checked out and documented your findings on both properties involved.
Ms. Van Antwerp, the neighbor at 1060 N. Oak Street, has stated certain conditions whereby she will
accept the permit; but these conditions have not all been met. She stated that there must be a sound
fence between the two properties and no visibility of the goats from her property, among other
conditions such as that the goats and all animals on the Schramer property be treated humanely.
The city needs to not only look at the Schramer's property, but needs to visit Ms. Van Antwerp's
property and note their findings. The city believes that there is a sound fence between the two
properties. With Ms. Van Antwerp's permission, I visited her property and found the fence not to be
sound and also visibility of the goats through two different slots in the fence. I could see the goats
through these spaces, as could Ms. Van Antwerp's dogs, which is one of Ms. Van Antwerp's concerns.
I realize addressing these concerns will take some time; but, since I believe neighbors should have input
on how the actions of their neighbors affect the value of their property and the peace and quality of
their lives, then it should be your duty to take the neighbor's concerns into consideration before issuing
livestock permits.
I want what is best for the goats, but I do believe that permission for livestock permits within city limits
should be issued only after considering and addressing the concerns of the neighbors. I am asking you
to appeal your decision until the valid concerns of Ms. Van Antwerp are met.
Thank you very much.

Dear Ms. Lawler:
This is my Notice of Appeal of the decision dated January 29, 2021, by Matthew J. Finnegan, Hearing
Officer, regarding the livestock permit at
1070 N. Oak Street. Mr. Finnegan referred to the “lack of a visual barrier” not being a reason to change
the decision of the Zoning Admnistrator. The City has twice stated that the “goats cannot be seen from
any other parcel.” The City also claims that said fence “appears to be sound.” The evidence provided by
the city shows one side of the fence from a distance of 70 feet, more or less. I request that the City
amend its investigation and findings based on an inspection of the fence from both sides at a close
distance. My property has been available for a site inspection since June 29, 2020, the day the goats
arrived without a permit.
I continue to ask that the permit be granted with two conditions: the goats cannot be seen from my
property, and that all pets at 1070 N. Oak St. be provided with adequate shelter.
Sincerely,
Ruth Van Antwerp

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Update on Emergency Repair of the Yosemite Drive Water Main and Determine that Emergency
Conditions Continue to Require the Emergency Repair.
DEPARTMENT: Public Works PREPARED BY: Jarod Thiele, Public Works Management Analyst
PRESENTER: Tim Eriksen, Public Works Director/City Engineer
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Resolution 2020-63 Yosemite Drive Water Main Emergency Work
Summary: The City Council will review the status of the emergency award of contract to repair the Yosemite
Drive Water Main, to comply with Public Contract Code Section 22050.
Background: At their regular meeting of November 4, 2020, the City Council voted to adopt a resolution
finding that emergency conditions would not allow sufficient time to publicly bid the repair of the Yosemite
Drive Water Main. Please refer to Attachment 1 for a copy of the resolution.
The City Council awarded a contract to Wipf Construction under Public Contract Code Section 22050 to repair
the Yosemite Drive Water Main. That section allows such repairs without competitive bidding in an emergency,
if the City Council on a 4/5 vote makes specified finding. However, please note, that staff solicited quotes from
two additional companies before making the award recommendation.
Discussion: Under Public Contract Code 22050, Subsection (c)(1) the City Council is required to review the
emergency action taken on November 4th at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the action is
terminated.
In reviewing the action, the City Council must determine whether the emergency conditions excusing
competitive bidding continue for the repair of the Yosemite Drive Water Main. It must make that finding by a
4/5 vote.
The water main, water services, and trench paving work are complete. Once the weather improves, the small
section of street reconstruction work will begin.
Recommended Action: Determine that emergency conditions continue to require the repair of the Yosemite
Drive Water Main without competitive bidding.

RESOLUTION NO. 2020-63
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH APPROVING PURSUANT TO
PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 22050 THE EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT WITHOUT
PUBLIC BIDDING OF CONSTRUCTION SERVICES TO REPAIR THE WATER MAIN ON
YOSEMITE DRIVE
WHEREAS:
1.During normal operation of the City of Ukiah’s Water Distribution System, a portion of water
main failed repeatedly on Yosemite Drive; and
2.Without the normal operation of this water main, the City is unable to provide necessary and
immediate services to its residents which could lead to public health hazards; and
3.With damage caused to public property including streets, curb, gutter; and
4.With damage caused to private property including driveway aprons and driveways; and
5.The City Engineer estimates that it would take 120 days to develop plans and specifications to
bid the construction work required to repair the water main and damaged public and private
property, to advertise requests for bids, to award the bid and to commence construction and an
additional 2-3 weeks to complete the work; and
6.Under Public Contract Code Section 22050(a)(1) in the case of an emergency, the City,
pursuant to a four-fifths vote of the City Council, may repair or replace a public facility and
procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes, without giving
notice for bids to let contracts; and
7.Under Public Contract Code Section 22050(a)(2) before the City Council takes such action, it
must make a finding, based on substantial evidence set forth in the minutes of its meeting, that
the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and that
the action is necessary to respond to the emergency;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that:
1.Based on the foregoing recitals and information, the City Council finds that an emergency condition
exists that must be repaired to avoid public health hazards that could result, if the repair work was
put out for competitive bids in compliance with the procedures required by the Uniform Construction
Cost Accounting Act.
2.The City Council authorizes the procurement of construction services to repair the water main and
damaged public and private property without providing notice inviting bids.
3.The City Council authorizes the City Procurement Officer to contract with Wipf Construction to repair

4.Awarding a contract to repair the water main and damaged public and private property is
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act as
a Class 2 categorical exemption, because it involves the replacement or reconstruction of existing
utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity. (14 CCR §15302.)
5.The emergency action taken by this resolution shall terminate upon the City Council’s approval of a
certificate of completion for the water main and public and private property repair work.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Possible Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 4 of the City Code
Regarding the Procedure for Filling Vacancies on the Planning Commission.
DEPARTMENT: City Attorney PREPARED BY: Darcy Vaughn, Assistant City Attorney
PRESENTER: Darcy Vaughn, Assistant City Attorney
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Planning Commissioner Appointment Ordinance Redline Introduced
2. Planning Commissioner Appointment Ordinance Clean Introduced

4. Current Planning Commission Roster
Summary: The City Council will discuss and consider introducing an Ordinance Amending Section 1151 of
Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 4 of the City Code Regarding Appointment of Planning Commissioners.
Background: At the January 20, 2021 City Council meeting, staff recommended amending the City Code to
revise the appointment procedure for Planning Commissioners. Staff suggested that a vacant Planning
Commissioner position could be filled by soliciting applications in which the candidate would list their
qualifications for the position, followed by Council interviews of all candidates. Council would then select a
candidate for the Planning Commission vacancy by majority vote. In addition to a more open process, this
appointment procedure would allow for vetting of a candidate's technical experience and qualifications. Staff
also pointed out that the current procedure for appointing Planning Commissioners, in which each member of
the City Council may nominate one Commissioner who shall be appointed to the Commission and whose term
will coincide with the appointing Councilmember, could result in the appointment of Commissioners who are
not aware of their responsibilities and duties and not prepared for the steep learning curve involved in an
increasingly high-volume and complex entitlement review process. Furthermore, staff noted that Planning
Commissioners have expressed confusion as to whether their decisions and recommendations should be
guided by the policy objectives of the Councilmember who nominated them for appointment, or by the
direction of the Council as a whole. The proposed change will likely resolve this confusion.
At their February 3, 2021, the City Council voted 4-1 to introduce the Planning Commissioner Appointment
Ordinance by title only.
Discussion: The Planning Commissioner Appointment Ordinance, a redlined version of which is attached
here as Attachment 1 and a clean version as Attachment 2, amends Section 1151 of Division 1, Chapter 4,
Article 4 of the City Code so that vacancies on the Planning Commission will be filled through a process in
which interested candidates will file an application (a draft version of which is attached here as Attachment 3)
stating their interest in the position and setting forth qualifications. After all applications are received, the City
Council will review applications, interview candidates, and select a new Planning Commissioner by majority
vote. Council is authorized to establish a formal review and selection process by resolution of the Council.
Planning Commissioners serve at the will of the City Council and will serve a term of four (4) years, though
Commissioners may be appointed to successive terms without limitations.
Should a Planning Commissioner vacate the position before the end of their term, replacement candidates will
Page 286 of 475
Page 2 of 2
be invited to submit applications for the vacant position, after which the City Council will initiate the review
process and select a candidate by majority vote.
The interview and voting process for a vacant Planning Commissioner position will take place at a single City
Council meeting, unless a different procedure is approved by a majority vote of the City Council.
Please note that adoption of this Ordinance will not affect the terms of the current Planning Commissioners.
They will continue to serve at the will of the Council. Staff recommends that at the end of the term of each
existing Commissioner, if desired, the outgoing Commissioner may submit an application in accordance with
the Ordinance to be considered for reappointment. The current Planning Commissioner Roster, showing the
term expirations is attached here as Attachment 4.
The current version of the Planning Commissioner Appointment Ordinance reflects a wide array of
community, City staff, and Council input. The Ordinance is now ready for consideration for adoption and will
go into effect thirty (30) days after adoption.
While the introduction of the item received a 4-1 vote at the last Council meeting, Council considered and
subsequently formed an ad hoc committee to examine commissioner requirements including
residency. Future changes to this ordinance may be reviewed by the City Council pending the work of the ad
hoc. In the meantime, adoption of the current changes will allow for the immediate solicitation to fill two
existing vacancies.
Recommended Action: Adopt Ordinance Amending Division 1, Chapter 4, Article 4 of the City Code
Regarding the Procedure for Filling Vacancies on the Planning Commission.

Summary: Council will discuss and possibly approve a Vision Statement for the 2040 General Plan.
Background: The City initiated the update to its General Plan through a joint workshop of the City Council
and Planning Commission on May 14, 2019. Since that time, City Staff and the City's advanced planning
specialists, Mintier Harnish, have collected a significant amount of input and feedback from the public via
community engagement events, workshops, comments emailed to Staff, and from comments submitted on the
City's General Plan website, ukiah2040.com. On January 14, 2020, summaries of this input (Attachment 1)
were posted on the website, as well as draft General Plan Vision Statements (Attachment 2). Staff also sent
an e-blast in both English and Spanish to the City's General Plan contact list notifying recipients of the posting
of these materials.
In March 2020, Staff and the City's advanced planning specialists completed the Existing Conditions and
Trends Workbook (due to file size, Attachment 3 contains pages 1-41 and Attachment 4 contains pages 42-
93). This Workbook, plus community input received thus far, a land use alternatives workshop scheduled for
March 31, 2020, and the Vision Statement, were to serve as the basis for preparation of the General Plan
document itself.
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic the land use alternatives workshop was put on hold. After collecting input
and suggestions from the City's Equity and Diversity Ad Hoc Committee and reviewing best practices for the
virtual hosting of major community engagement events, Staff rescheduled this land use alternatives workshop
as a virtual workshop for December 7 and 8, 2020. Approximately 40-50 people total attended the workshop,
which was held on two separate evenings.
With the land use alternatives workshop now completed, the City is back on schedule for preparation and
completion of the 2040 General Plan.
Discussion: To proceed, Staff is requesting Council discuss and possibly approve one of the four draft Vision
Statements, with any modifications desired, which will serve as a basis for the 2040 General Plan preparation
effort.
The General Plan Vision Statement and guiding principles are intended to reflect what community members
Page 296 of 475
Page 2 of 2
value most about Ukiah and the shared aspirations of what they envision their community being in the
future. The Vision Statement should be inspirational and establish key values for the General Plan's guiding
principles, goals, policies, and implementation measures. Great care was given to ensure that no singular
stakeholder group or myopic point overrode any four of the community drafted vision statements. The guiding
principles will provide an opportunity for more specific direction such as fundamental rules or doctrine that the
City will use to inform General Plan goals, policies, and implementation measures.
Recommended Action: Discuss and possibly approve one of four Vision Statements for the 2040 General
Plan.

The following provides a summary of community input received at the first two General Plan events held
in 2019 and input provided on the General Plan Update website (ukiah2040.com).
Community Workshop #1:
Topic: Existing Conditions and Trends, Identification of Issues and Opportunities, and Visioning
Location: Ukiah Valley Conference Center, Downtown Ukiah
Attendance: 75 community participants
The City hosted the first community workshop on the General Plan Update on September 24, 2019, at
the Ukiah Valley Conference Center in Downtown Ukiah. The Workshop lasted approximately two hours
and was attended by over 75 community members. The focus of Community Workshop #1 was to
familiarize the community with the Update process, introduce the City Planning team and the Advanced
Planning Specialists team assisting City staff through the process, as well as gather initial feedback that
would inform the upcoming phases of the Update. Workshop #1 also included a series of interactive
stations pertaining to Existing Conditions and Trends, Identification of Issues and Opportunities, and
Visioning. The stations were created to allow community members regardless of language and age to
participate and provide feedback for the future of Ukiah. Below is an overview of the stations and a
record of the public comments and feedback. All stations also included informational boards and
workshops translated into Spanish.
Station #1 – Existing Conditions and Trends Overview
Station #1 included posters that provided an overview of the General Plan process, key milestones, and
opportunities to become involved. Station #1 also had a series of informational boards that highlighted
the key findings from the Existing Conditions and Trends Workbook (slated for release in early 2020).
Boards included an overview of existing community information in a graphical format organized around
each Workbook chapter. Community members were able to read the boards and ask questions of City
staff and members of the Advanced Planning Specialists team in an open house style format. This
approach allowed for free-flowing dialogue with community members and spurred further discussion
about community expectations for the General Plan.

Station #2 – Identification of Issues and Opportunities
Station #2 included an exercise focused on the identification of issues and opportunities that the
General Plan Update should address. Participants were asked to use a series of sticky notes to write
down issues and opportunities that are important to them. At each of the tables for Station #2, the City
also provided a table map of Ukiah and its boundaries, and asked community members to mark on the
map specific areas that need addressing in the update or areas that the City should capitalize on and
maintain over the next 20 years.
The following pages provide a list of all issues and opportunities provided at Community Workshop #1.
There is no ranking or order to these ideas. These items are presented as written, without editing, and
do not necessarily reflect the views of the City. Any comments that contained profanities were removed.

Station #3 – Visioning
Station #3 included an interactive engagement exercise focused on soliciting feedback on a vision for the
City. The exercise used a “Mad Lib” style approach where community members could fill in a blank
vision statement for Ukiah using sample key attributes (i.e., adjectives, assets, and values) or fill in the
blanks with words they feel are appropriate. Participants placed these attributes on a magnetic board
to create their own vision. Once participants finished filling out their desired vision, they were
photographed with their vision statement. This exercise was highly successful and captured opinions
from a wide demographic. Below is the fill in the blank vision statement used at the events and the
following page show the list of attributes that participants used to create their vision for Ukiah.

There's no time to lose in addressing how our city deals with climate concerns! Emissions, disasters
power outages, power! New buildings. Let's be a model for what should be done for zero net energy.
We can do it! Use grants!

retirees.

The west side of Ukiah needs a through street or series of passages west of Gobbi St.

Mendocino College needs a second road to North State Street.
PumpkinFest 2019:
Topic: Existing Conditions and Trends, Identification of Issues and Opportunities, and Visioning
Location: Downtown Ukiah
Attendance: Over 200 community participants
The City hosted a General Plan Pop-Up Booth at the Ukiah PumpkinFest on October 19, 2019, at the Alex
R. Thomas Plaza. The pop-up booth consisted of similar activities to those at Community Workshop #1.
Participants were able to view existing conditions posters as well as mark-up a map of the City where
they feel change should occur. The map feedback will help inform the Alternatives Process of the
General Plan update. As part of the pop-up booth participants were provided with a survey (in both
English and Spanish) to complete that included two exercises relating to a vison for Ukiah in 2040 and
issues that should be addressed as part of the update. Each of the activities and the results of the survey
are located on the following pages. General comment cards were also received from community
members who visited the pop-up booth, with all comments listed verbatim at the end of this document.

Vision for the Future (Page 1 of the PumpkinFest General Plan Survey)
Participants were asked to select three values, assets, and adjectives that describe Ukiah in 2040. These
three descriptors help derive each participants vision for the community over the next 20 years. This
exercise is like the mad lib exercise from Community Workshop #1, where all the selected descriptors
will help inform an overall Vision Statement and Guiding Principles for the General Plan Update. Since
PumpkinFest generally draws visitors from outside of Ukiah, the survey included an initial question that
asked where participants lived. This allowed for the disaggregation of feedback collected from those
who live in Ukiah and those who do not.
Values
Based on the feedback received the three values that participants highlighted the most were safety,
health, and education. All three value descriptors received were noted by more than 10 percent of
participants who took the survey.

Super excited about the downtown project. Please stop patching roads and start fixing them.
Mendocino road has become a racetrack, we need speed bumps.
We need a climbing gym
Need housing for lower income families that are not on welfare.

Participant Comments
River park would be great.
Please build a memorial statue to honor Pomo history and place it in the park that honors a rancher
i.e.., Alex Thomas Plaza - Please address global warming.
Need more events
I love Ukiah!
More activities for kids, nothing to do
Support our local schools
It would be great to provide more of our own local food, veggies, dairy, meat. Develop sustainable
energy sources - solar. Make more public transportation. Better hiking and biking trails.
Need another store/ stores in the downtown area
Use inmates to clean hwy & Lake Mendocino campgrounds (Sheriff Dept). Miniature golf course for
kids and family, water park, bowling alley...
Large amounts of money should not be spent on a "slogan" or a website when it easily could have
been provided by the college or community members through a contest.
Ukiah has huge potential but locals and outsiders alike need to feel safe in the community (going to
parks, walking downtown and other areas, etc.)
The proposed State Street changes will harm rather than help the downtown merchants. If streets do
not get immediate attention you will soon have muddy, rutted wagon trails - appreciate those that
have been done but if you proceed with the State Street Shannon Memorial Roadway you will be
pushing daily traffic onto the side streets. The light down School Street adds character to the
downtown. Nice to see them all working. Trash containers need to be maintained!
Our city officials need to listen and then heed citizens opinions and desires. For instance, (THE R
STREET DIET!) Decision made even though many citizens objected.
Major issue, Ukiah needs to get under control its homelessness.
The town seems to have more crime lately (i.e., theft, break-ins)
Use inmates to clean up our town, Lake Mendocino & campgrounds.
Need to look at economic diversity and also address cultural sensitivity, address homelessness.
Everything closes at 5 - not friendly for those that work 8-5.
I know we all want to keep the small town vibe, but at the same time, we need to be able to work for
a decent wage. Many of us commute to Santa Rosa and beyond to achieve this lifestyle.
I am a Mendocino county resident (30 years) and have been disappointed with our town/ county.
Considering moving to different county unless the county/ city starts addressing the transients, drug
use in our community, and low rated education system. I don't want to leave my hometown but am
so scared to raise my child here. Please let me know what we can do to help our town return to the
greatest small town in California.
The community events are great! I believe the sense of community is amazing. Don’t lose that!

Shop at local businesses. Thank you for the candy! And opportunity to help make a change in our
community!
Segregation
Thriving community is based on thriving industry. Allow us to thrive.
Right now Ukiah is doing great! Keep up the good work!
Park in Wagenseller neighborhood
Police need more Hispanic and women
I think we should spend more time on the people in our town, rather than the way the town looks.
There is a serious lack of intrigue in parks staying manageable and well kept. They are lumpy and
dangerous for athletic activity.

Topic: Identification of Issues and Opportunities and Visioning
Location: General Plan Website (ukiah2040.com)
Attendance: 35 community participants
Identification of Issues and Opportunities
The General Plan website included a series of interactive exercises that focused on topics previously
covered at both Community Workshop #1 and the General Plan Pop-Up Booth at PumpkinFest. This was
meant to allow for those who were not able to attend either of the previous events the ability to submit
feedback related to the General Plan process. The following exercise asked participants to select their
five issues and opportunities that they feel the General Plan should address. The following table includes
all collected feedback from those who participated in the online exercise. These items are presented as
written, without editing, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the City. Any comments that
contained profanities were removed.
Top Five Identified Issues
Environmental Sustainability
Fix the roads/streets.
The need for in-fill housing
Road repair on low gap
Homelessness, homeless waste produced and cleanup
more bike lanes and pedestrian zones
Downtown is NOT attractive to tourists
Climate Chaos. Needs to be addressed at every level from individual to world and every institution
between. Ban idling, Support regenerative ag, agroforestry, emissions reduction.
Promote infill housing (e.g., condos, apartments, etc.) in underutilized, vacant, and blighted
properties and prioritizing properties closest to the downtown core. Do this by incentivizing
development, seeking developers, etc. Whatever it takes! The more people that live close to
downtown, the more vital the City will become and more jobs will be created and this will help the
overall economy.
Make the railroad depot functional- trains to the coast via Willits, fast train to bay area.
More accessible open space
Exercise infrastructure: Ukiah lacks trail systems and bike lanes, especially on the south side
Green space, open space
Street and sidewalk conditions
Affordable housing

Top Five Identified Issues
Our inability to resolve the Palace Hotel as a deteriorating eye-sore and enable a value added cleanup
of State Street across from and on the sides of this sad relic.
State Street traffic calming. It feels unsafe for pedestrians and generally too fast.
Annexation of growth areas
Public Services
Removal of signs when a business closes.
Is there a way the general plan can affect out homeless crisis
Road repair on empire
fire danger preparation on every level, more clearing, more fire roads, study all areas that have power
lines (especially forested) and make those a priority for safety
support to retrofit major facilities to use renewable energy
Unchanged small-town atmosphere in a changing world
Living wages for all. Require businesses to pay $15 minimum/hr tied to inflation from the 2016 dollar,
and attract businesses by offsetting their added cost (perhaps a sales tax or wealth tax
Secure a tax sharing agreement with the County so that the City can annex the urban areas of Ukiah.
The County needs to stop allowing development (other than industrial at Masonite) outside the City
limits. Sprawl is not part of Valley residents' vision for the Ukiah Valley!
Make the Palace hotel functional condos on the upper floor and shops on the ground floor and
mezzanine with central light well to roof.
Emphasis on "green" (low to zero carbon-emitting) building
Public Water: There aren't enough drinking fountains and the ones that exist are dirty and unfiltered
Fire safety
Broadband availability
Good roads
Addressing a grave need to put meaningful effort into upgrading the academic success of our
elementary and middle school children in terms of testing and outcomes.
Greater trail access and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists. For example, a path that connects
Low Gap to Orr Creek corridor to the East end of Bush near Kohls.
Services - Utility, Sewer and Water to areas that are beyond city limits
Transportation
Do something about the homeless population.
Denser housing options and raising building height limits
Road repair on n. State street
keep improving street conditions
more carbon neutral public transportation
Homeless people camp around city
Homelessness. Solutions include job creation, mental health counseling, street medicine including
plants/nutrition, not just allopathic, tiny home parks

Top Five Identified Issues
Enforce ordinances around property maintenance and signs. For example, Blue Drug on the corner of
Mill and Dora has looked HORRIBLE for at least 10 years. Does it have to be that way? Maybe a carrot,
versus a stick, approach would help?
re locate courthouse and replace that building with a town square like Healdsburg
Better protection/management of riparian areas
Inequity: the south side is far underdeveloped compared to the north side (green spaces, social
services, event space)
Safe pedestrian and bike travel around town, and in large store parking lots
Solar energy for government buildings
Jobs
A needed support by the powers that be to address other major buildings in town which are unable to
upgrade and remain viable, such as the Methodist Church Building.
Energy Resiliency. We need to be independent of PG & E supplying our energy. We need to break our
dependence on unsustainable and imported energy sources.
Airport Land Use - Densities and land use limitations need to be expanded upon or allow for greater
flexibility
Land Use
Better enforcement of traffic laws. Stop sign runners, red light runners, red curb parkers, failure to
use turn signals etc...
The need for a unified planning process and map so that we grow as a community in a smart way
rather than our current plot by plot process
Palace Hotel - are we waiting for it to fall down and become an emergency before something is done?
raising awareness of climate crisis and taking local action
Transportation. Add EV chargers at more locations, work with MTA to increase frequency of buses
and promote them & cycling over cars.
Maintain the plaza downtown. The drinking fountain area and area under the roof are dirty and not
very appealing to hang out around.
obtain easements for more bike/pedestrian trails away from the roads
Waste: How can we recycle? Do people know how to compost/ use green waste bins? Public
education
Transient issues - trash, crime, human waste, etc.
Trenching power lines
Safe streets
Addressing the inequity of salaries and income of community employees, particularly in the lopsided
salaries in administration in comparison to those of others in community.
Support for arts in the form of a truly community art center and shared and/or individual studios and
gallery space. Look to models such as the Willits center for the arts, and shared studios in Santa Rosa
for examples.

Top Five Identified Issues
Revised the UCC. Code should encourage and allow uses that the city wants and discourage land uses
the city wants to avoid. Code is dated
Fix the dilapidated tennis courts and make them dual pickle ball/tennis courts.
Historic preservation issues and how we can become a tourist destination.
Promoting family and community values
Re-focus away from rural factory farm uses to higher education, medical and assisted living facilities.
Public Transportation: I would like to see more regular routes up and down State street, with
incentive for regular use.
Upgrade Perkins street entrance to town - trees, flowers, improved building facades, etc.
Improving schools.
Going green.
Ensuring that our tree coverage does not continue to be destroyed without protections to create a
better environment through significant and increased number of heritage trees.
Identified Opportunities
Consider other issues (energy, transportation) as environmental sustainability
Attract a business that caters to all ages, that replaces the loss of the bowling alley and skating rink.
Historic preservation is one of the few things we are absolutely missing out on
Road repair on low gap
Attract more businesses to relocate here (software, consulting, etc) perhaps give certain tax
incentives to these businesses to entice them.
Nurturing collaborative efforts from local nonprofits, religious groups, schools, to address above
issues
Make downtown beautiful, clean up and make Ukiah more attractive to tourists
Urban agriculture in vacant lots and parks, to sequester carbon as organic matter and perennial roots
in soil. Possible works program for homeless.
The new streetscape planned for State Street is a huge opportunity for improving the vitality of
downtown Ukiah. How can the general plan help to promote this vitality?
Foster a long term vision of Ukiah becoming a many faceted cultural and educational center.
Green building resources and/or grants
Local Food System: with so much local talent and a year- round growing season, Ukiah could have a
more innovative and efficient food system
Increase sharing of buildings, resources between (for example) young people and senior citizens.

Identified Opportunities
Invest in the Mendocino County Brand (awareness through even more advertising, encouraging
events/festivals, etc.)
More alternative energy
Increasing the attractiveness and cleanliness of the entire downtown corridor.
Energy Resiliency. We already have an independent contract with PG&E. Let’s invest in our own
independent energy grid or multiple micro grids and always have our power up.
Annexation of growth areas
It would great to have something similar to Ft. Bragg's CV Starr Aquatic Center.
Is there a way to bring wine tasting rooms into a more generalized area so that we can attract more
tourists
attract retirement communities such as Del Webb and others to invest and build in Ukiah. Ukiah
businesses would benefit from residents and the services they would need. What's going to happen
the courthouse once moved? Make them condos.
we have beautiful nature, let's keep it protected and pristine, and promote local parks
Upgrade some old stores, invest in new stores
A 4 year university - working with Mendocino College to upgrade and/or look at Masonite Site.
There is eventually going to be a new courthouse on Perkins St. Is it too early to begin thinking about
how to re-purpose the existing courthouse? And the block with the library and City parking lot....how
could that become a vibrant part of our downtown, connecting the west and east sides of State Street
at Perkins once the new courthouse is in? Not to early to plan!!
develop mutual sharing of resources
Civic Engagement: incorporate local government into school curriculum and get kids involved early,
have local officials visit the classroom
Incentives for home owners to add on granny units
Cannabis Farms, Events and the tax opportunities they provide
Creative planning & zoning
Holding open forums for the community on the Palace Hotel as to what conditions are needed to
either eliminate or rebuild.
Incredible natural areas. We need to promote connecting to our open and natural spaces by bike and
foot.
Airport Land Use - Densities and land use limitations need to be expanded upon or allow for greater
flexibility
Build a homeless shelter that is designed for families only. Don't forget about the homeless school
kids. Check with the Ukiah Unified School District Office. They have a Liaison.
Set aside areas for future schools and medical facilities
Re-envision Alex Thomas Plaza as a gathering place not only for special events which seems to be the
current case but surrounded by cafes and restaurants for all day activity. Add a small play area for
children.

Identified Opportunities
support youth to be positively engaged in society - they are our future
Issue more building permits, allow the town to grow as prepare for more people to move into town
EV fast chargers non-tesla. Ukiah could become a stopping place for all long-range EV's to recharge,
not just Teslas. While the level 2's are good for folks working or spending extended time in town, a
few high speed chargers would entice long distance drivers to make a stop here and still spend a bit
hopefully.
I understand that annexation discussions with the County will resume. That is a huge opportunity for
the City to re-make Ukiah into an aesthetically pleasing and cohesive urban center.
Residential businesses: I would like to see new large businesses have a requirement for building
affordable residences on campus
Incentives for public to pick up trash
Increasing funding to Mendocino College
How can we not become another Bay Area commuting community
Setting a 95% tenancy of downtown buildings as a goal and setting guidelines on the number of
massage, nail, body building and hair salons allowed versus other businesses.
The Old Post office. Maybe it can become a community art and cultural center?
Services - Utility, Sewer and Water to areas that are beyond city limits
This is a sticky subject for Ukiah but a huge opportunity if curated properly. Since CA is embracing
cannabis and things are changing, explore teaming up with established medical centers or the UC
school system such as the Berkeley Cannabis Research Center or other campuses with medical
centers to study and explore the medicinal uses for Cannabis and CBD. Most of the reputable schools
already have started to explore this area of study. We are perfectly located in close proximity to farms
already. Why not capitalize on this and attract a medical facility? Take it all out of the dark and
capitalize on the positive health aspects.
Is it possible to consolidate things like the locations of medical offices? Would this help free up former
residential buildings? Will this make it easier for people to access medical care
support more nature engagement opportunities for youth
The Airport Business Park seems to be thriving. There is an opportunity there to direct some of those
revenues to the downtown to beautify it and promote the development of housing there. I hear from
many retired Ukiahans who want to sell their homes and exchange them for condos that are walkable
to downtown amenities. The opportunity is there, though I'm not sure what role government has
here beyond trying to promote and incentivize development. Seems like the private sector needs to
take off.
Rooftops: valuable space for energy efficiency and innovation, i.e. solar and rooftop gardens (would
also be great event space)
Increased support for trails, bike lanes, and other urban outdoor activities
Using our climate to our advantage, by using solar to become more energy independent (mitigates
issues with PSPS)

Require that any significant tree eliminated/lumbered/forested within the city that over 12 inches in
diameter must first be approved, and then be replaced somewhere in the city.
Our upcoming road diet! Maybe people will be able to compete with the fast and furious traffic of
State st.
Revised the UCC. Code should encourage and allow uses that the city wants and discourage land uses
the city wants to avoid. Code is dated
Does the current layout of our streets work? Could improvements be made? Could some streets be
extended or altered to make them work better (i.e. taking Hospital Drive straight through to Clara,
thus eliminating the dangerously sharp turn)
If we could only get that train moving again to bring more people and even commuters here to boost
the economy. Sonoma is doing it!
support holistic health - diet, exercise, environment, balanced lifestyle
Events: I really love the diversity and engagement in public events downtown-- keep up the great
work for the next 20 years!
Bring back Neighborhood watch programs
Increase Mendocino County wine brand awareness
Creating places for families and kids
Increasing community participation to develop a determined effort to increase school properties and
educational achievements.
Better interactive website. Including GIS look up, code look up. Search feature is broken.

Urban planning is a technical and political
process that communities use to guide
orderly development and resource allocation.
In 1971, the State made it mandatory for
every city and county to adopt a general plan
and required that local land use approvals be
consistent with the adopted general plan.
Ukiah’s current General Plan was adopted
in 1995. After 24 years, it is time to revisit
the General Plan to ensure that the policy
direction for the future is representative of
current community values and is responsive
to the changes of the next decade and
beyond. The Existing Conditions Workbook
is a snapshot of Ukiah in 2019, prior to the
Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020. While this is a
snapshot of 2019, some data may be older
based on availability of information.
This section provides an overview of the
Ukiah General Plan process, why it is
prepared, and why it is important.

What is in a General Plan?
A general plan represents the community’s aspiration for its future and establishes
the local government’s long-term framework for future growth and development. The
general plan contains the goals and polices upon which the City Council and Planning
Commission will base their land use and resource decisions. Typically, a general plan
is designed to address the issues facing the city for the next 20 years.
The general plan is made up of a collection of “elements,” or topics. There are
currently nine mandatory elements: land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open
space, noise, safety, environmental justice, and air quality. Communities can include
other elements that address issues of local concern, such as economic development,
community character, or urban design. Communities can also organize their general
plan anyway they choose, as long as they address each of the required elements.
A general plan has three defining features:
General – Provides
general policy
guidance for future
land use and
resource decisions.
Comprehensive – Covers a
broad range of topics, including
land use, housing, economic
development, infrastructure,
public safety, recreation, and
natural resources.
Long-Range – Provides guidance for
achieving a future envisioned 20 or
more years into the future.
What is the Existing Conditions and Trends Workbook?
This workbook tells the story of Ukiah – where it has been, where it is today, and the
trends that will shape its future. This workbook focuses on providing the foundational
information about the physical, natural, cultural, and economic conditions and trends
that sets the stage for updating the General Plan.
// UKIAH GENERAL PLAN UPDATE / EXISTING CONDITIONS AND TRENDS WORKBOOK2
Page 350 of 475
What is the Difference between the General Plan and Zoning?
A general plan is distinct from zoning. Although both the general plan and the zoning
ordinance designate how land may be developed, they do so in different ways. A
general plan has a broad, long-term outlook that identifies the types of development
that will be allowed, the spatial relationships among land uses, and the general
pattern of future development. A zoning ordinance regulates development through
specific standards such as lot size, building setbacks, height, and allowable uses.
Under State law, all planning documents maintained, prepared, or approved must
be found to be consistent with the adopted general plan for the jurisdiction. This
relationship is illustrated on Figure 1-1. For land use, zoning is a key tool used to
implement a general plan. Zoning supports implementation of the general plan and,
therefore, must be consistent with the general plan. Upon adoption of the updated
general plan, a jurisdiction may need to amend the zoning ordinance and zoning map
to ensure consistency with the adopted general plan. Development projects must not
only meet the specific requirements of the zoning ordinance, but also the broader
policies set forth in the general plan.

Why Should We Update the General Plan?
Because the City’s current General Plan is more than two decades old, there are a
number of concerns that must be addressed through this update (Figure 1-2 and
below):
• To meaningfully engage the community. The General Plan is a pivotal
opportunity to bring the community together to learn and collaborate to define
a common vision and priorities for the future.
• To address major changes from the past two decades and prepare for shifts on
the horizon.
• To address new State laws (see next page for details).
Social and demographic changes
• Increasing diversity
• Changing needs and behaviors
• Growing population and the need for

History
Ukiah was incorporated into a city more than 140 years ago, and has existed as a distinct
community for more than 160 years. The history of Ukiah and the Ukiah Valley, and the
people who lived here, goes back even further. As Ukiah plans for the future, it is critical
to understand the past to help guide the future of the community.
Settlement and Early Growth, 1850-1920
Western settlers first settled in Ukiah in
the mid-19th century. In 1859, Ukiah was
designated the seat of Mendocino County
and was incorporated in 1876. During
Ukiah’s early history, the slow-growing
city remained relatively isolated. In 1889,
the railroad was extended to Ukiah and
the city became more accessible to the
region and country. Ukiah’s prime soils and
climate supported farming and agricultural
opportunities, which became a dominant
economic driver for the city. The dominant
crop during the early settlement period of
the city was hops.

Pomo People, Initial Settlement-1850
Before western settlement, the Ukiah Valley and
much of what is now Mendocino County, was
inhabited by the Pomo people. Known for their
intricate woven baskets, the Pomo primarily lived
in small groups and relied on hunting, fishing, and
foraging. With the arrival of western settlers, the
Pomo were driven off their land, their population
dropped dramatically, and they were eventually
forced onto reservations. Today, there are three
small reservations, called rancherias, in the Ukiah
Valley that are home to groups of Pomo.
The name “Ukiah” draws from the history of the
Pomo people. Ukiah is an anglicized version of the
Pomo word yokaya, meaning “deep valley.”

The Growth Years, 1920-1960
Ukiah remained relatively small and
slow growing until the 1920s. In the
following decades, especially after
the end of World War II, the city grew
rapidly. This growth coincided with
the growth of the logging industry
in California’s northern coasts. The
redwood forests to the north of
Ukiah became extremely valuable for
lumber, and the logging industry in
the area grew rapidly supporting an
increase in employment and growth
in the region.
Today
Since the early 20th century, the logging industry has been
on a steady decline along the northern coast and other
industries have emerged. In 2020, Ukiah is the county seat
and largest city in Mendocino County. With both City of
Ukiah and County administrative offices within the city,
Ukiah boasts a large number of public sector employment
opportunities, particularly in education and social services.
Outside the public sector, the city is known for strong retail
and service industries and a bustling tourism industry
catering to travelers and adventurers looking to explore the
Valley.
Additionally, the city is surrounded by mineral rich
agricultural lands capable of supporting viticulture
operations. In recent years the region has seen an increase
in local vineyards opening adjacent to the city. The increase
in local wine production and processing reflects the
increasing popularity of the Ukiah Valley as a wine region
and destination.

Planning Area
As an important regional center in Mendocino County, the
City of Ukiah designed the existing (1995) general plan
as an areawide plan with a Planning Area encompassing
the Ukiah Valley. The resulting Ukiah Valley General Plan
(UVGP) included the city of Ukiah; the communities of
Calpella, Talmage, The Forks, Vichy Springs, Presswood,
Regina Heights, and El Roble; and goals, policies, and
programs that reflected a valleywide approach.
Following this effort, Mendocino County took the lead in
valleywide planning. Working with the City of Ukiah, the
County adopted the Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP) in 2011
with the same Planning Area boundary as the previous
UVGP, shown below.
With the County heading long-range planning efforts in
the valley, the City of Ukiah may consider contracting
the Planning Area in order to refocus the general plan on
the incorporated areas of the city and areas likely to be
developed or annexed by 2040.

Regional Setting
Located 45 miles north of Healdsburg and
155 miles south of Eureka, the City of Ukiah
spans more than 3,000 acres (4.6 square
miles). The city is regionally significant,
serving as the seat of Mendocino County and
the largest city in the county. It functions as
a center for commerce, recreation, medical
and social services, and cultural events.
The Ukiah Valley is approximately nine miles
long, running north to south, comprising
more than 40,000 acres along U.S. Route
101. The Russian River follows the valley,
winding through agricultural lands just
outside of Ukiah to the east. The valley is
approximately 630 feet in elevation, with
the hills of the Mendocino and Mayacamas
ranges that flank the valley reaching up to
3,000 feet in elevation.
The nearest major city to Ukiah is Santa
Rosa, a city of 175,000, which is located
approximately 60 miles to the south. Larger
urban centers including San Francisco and
Sacramento are approximately 100 miles
to the south and southeast. Ukiah’s relative
isolation from major population centers
increases its importance as a regional
center. Closer to Ukiah, there are several
small unincorporated communities in the
Ukiah Valley, as well as in the neighboring
Redwood Valley to the north. Figure 1-3
shows Ukiah's location in the region.
In 2019, the region surrounding Ukiah is best
known for its natural and scenic beauty.
Once called the “Gateway to the Redwoods,”
the city is a short drive from some of the
largest redwood forests in California,
protected in parks like Montgomery Woods
and the sprawling Jackson State Forest.
These massive trees grow natively in the city
and on the hills above the valley.WHY IS THE PLANNING AREA IMPORTANT?
Although the County has legal land use authority over
unincorporated areas of the county, the City of Ukiah provides some
services outside city limits but within the Planning Area. As part of
the General Plan, the City must evaluate current services in these
areas and analyze the feasibility of future services.

2. DEMOGRAPHICS
This Demographics section includes an
overview of Ukiah’s population and provides
a look at the distribution of that population
by age and race/ethnicity. Information on
employment and income can be found
in Section 3, Economics and Economy.
Having an understanding of the makeup of
the population will support Ukiah in better
gauging the needs of its residents.
Approximately 16,000 people call Ukiah
home. Over the last few decades, Ukiah has
become younger and more diverse. As the
community looks to the future, Ukiah must
evolve to meet the needs of its residents,
both current and future.

Population
Over the past several years, Ukiah’s population has
remained relatively static, hovering around 16,000
residents (Figure 2-1). As of the 2010 U.S. Census,
Ukiah had 16,075 residents. In the following years, the
estimated population dipped just below 16,000, before
growing to an estimated population of 16,296 in 2019.
Although population growth projections specific to
Ukiah are unavailable, the California Department of
Finance estimates that Mendocino County as a whole
will grow by six percent by 2040, or an average rate of
0.3 percent annually. Between 2010 and 2019, Ukiah
grew at a rate of 0.15 percent annually. If the city were
to continue to grow at this rate, it would see about just
over three percent growth by 2040.

Age
Ukiah has a population that, overall, is decreasing in age.
The median age, based on 2017 American Community Survey
estimates, is 34.8 years old, down from 35.9 in 2010. Much
of this change is due to an increased percentage of young
adults between 25 and 35 in the city, indicating that young
families are moving to Ukiah. This is a major divergence from
countywide trends, which suggest, on average, a much older
and increasingly aging population. The median age in the
county in 2010 was 41.5 years old; in 2017 the median age was
42.4 years old. Ukiah also has a high percentage of working
age residents between 25 and 54, which combine to make up
nearly 42 percent of the population, as shown in Figure 2-2.

Race/Ethnicity
As shown in Figure 2-3, Ukiah’s racial demographic is mixed. While a majority of
the population identifies as White (57.3 percent), nearly a third of the population
identifies as Hispanic or Latino (32.7 percent). This differs from Mendocino
County as a whole where just 24.5 percent of the population identifies as
Hispanic or Latino.
Approximately 30 percent of Ukiah residents speak a primary language other
than English. Countywide, only about 22 percent of residents speak a primary
language other than English. This comparison is illustrated in Figure 2-4.

Recent Job Growth
Between 2009 and 2017, Ukiah added 671
jobs at a compounded annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 1.33 percent (Table 3-3). This
growth rate contrasts with the stagnant job
growth experienced in Mendocino County
(-0.37 percent CAGR) during this same
period.
Industries with the largest growth between
2009 and 2017 were: Agriculture, forestry,
fishing and hunting, and mining (232
jobs added); professional, scientific,
and management (201 jobs added);
educational services and health care
(286 jobs added) and arts, entertainment,
recreation, accommodation, and food
service (219 jobs added). The economic
recession of 2010 caused industries
related to housing construction and home
purchases to shrink during this period,
including construction (222 jobs lost),
wholesale trade (48 jobs lost); and finance,
insurance, real estate and rental and
leasing (51 job lost).
Projected Job Growth
The California Employment Development
Department provides employment growth
projections for regions throughout the
state. In the North Coast Region, which
includes Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, and
Mendocino Counties, the largest projected
growth between 2016 and 2026 is in

FIGURE 3-3: REVENUE FROM TAXES
Revenue
Table 3-4 shows revenues for the City of Ukiah in 2017. In that year, the largest source of
revenue for the city was in charges for service, which brought in more than $35 million
and accounted for 57 percent of annual revenues. Taxes were the next largest source
at 27.5 percent of revenues, followed by grants (6.0 percent) and licenses and permits
(3.9 percent).
Figure 3-3 shows City revenues from taxes from Financial Year 2013-2014 through FY 2021-
2022. The figure shows actual revenues for FY 2013-2018 and projections for years after this
period. In Financial Year 2017-2018, the City of Ukiah received $17,036,826 in revenue from
taxes. Between FY 2014-2014 and FY 2017-2018 the city's revenues for taxes grew at average
rate of 11.43 percent per year. Tax revenues have been rising steadily over the past several
years in Ukiah, reflecting the relative health of the city’s economy. The City's annual budget
projects revenue from taxes to reach $21,231,843 in FY 2021-22. Revenue from taxes makes
up between 25 and 30 percent of the total revenue received over time by the City of Ukiah.

4. LAND USE
Land use policies, plans, and ordinances
guide development and shape the urban
fabric of the Ukiah Planning Area. This
section provides a snapshot of local
land use patterns in Ukiah and examines
existing and planned land uses in Ukiah.
The section also summarizes regional
plans and discusses how these plans
influence land use within the city of
Ukiah.
234. LAND USE //
Page 371 of 475
Notable Boundaries
The existing General Plan uses several terms to describe the city and
associated planning boundaries (Figure 4-1):
• City Limits: The political boundary that defines land that has been
incorporated into a city. Ukiah has land use authority over all land
within its city limits.
• Sphere of Influence (SOI): The Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCo) establishes the Sphere of Influence (SOI),
which defines the probable physical boundary and service area
of a local agency. An SOI typically includes both incorporated
and unincorporated areas within which the City will have primary
responsibility for the provision of public facilities and services.
The mapped SOI for Ukiah does not reflect the amended SOI that
was adopted by the City Council in Spring 2020, as this boundary
is under consideration for adoption by LAFCO. Adoption of a new
SOI is anticipated by Fall 2020.
• Planning Area: A general plan, pursuant to State law, must
address all areas within the jurisdiction’s Planning Area. The
Planning Area encompasses all incorporated and unincorporated
territory that bears a physical relationship to the long-term
planning of the city. For Ukiah, the Planning Area is defined as the
area within both the city limits and SOI.
3,071 acres
40,913 acres
40,913 acres
WHY ARE THE PLANNING AREA
AND SPHERE OF INFLUENCE SO LARGE?
The 1995 Ukiah Valley General Plan, although serving as
the City's municipal general plan, was designed as an early
area plan for the Ukiah Valley. This effort established a large
Planning Area/Sphere of Influence, as well as goals, policies
and programs that reflected an areawide approach.
In 2011, however, Mendocino County adopted the Ukiah
Valley Area Plan (UVAP), a comprehensive and long range
inter-jurisdictional planning document that defines how
the Ukiah Valley will develop in the future. Although the
regional approach of the 1995 General Plan was a worthwhile
planning effort ultimately leading to development of the UVAP,
the General Plan should be updated to serve as the City's
municipal general plan focused on the incorporated areas
of Ukiah and areas likely to develop by 2040. Although not
required by State law, the General Plan Update will seek to
achieve consistency with the UVAP.

FIGURE 4-2: EXISTING LAND USE BREAKDOWN, CITY OF UKIAH
Existing Land Use
Critical to the preparation of the updated 2040 Land Use Diagram, is
an understanding of the type and distribution of existing land uses
and development in the city. Existing land use data is provided by the
County Assessors Office and based on the taxed use for each parcel.
The existing land use of a property does not carry any regulatory
significance and may or may not be consistent with the current General
Plan land use designation or zoning for the property. However, this
information can assist in evaluating if past General Plan policies were
effective in directing new growth and if development is consistent with
the General Plan.
Ukiah city limits consist of 3,071 acres. Figures 4-2 and 4-3 show that
over 33.1 percent of this area is comprised of residential development
(i.e., single-family, multifamily, mobile home parks). Public and Quasi-
Public uses, which include care facilities, churches, schools, shelters,
and government-owned property, make up nearly 18.7 percent of the
city. Commercial areas comprise 12.2 percent of the city and are
concentrated along Main and State Streets and near Highway 101. Parks
and open space areas make up 9.74 percent of Ukiah, which include
parks, the Ukiah Valley Golf Course, and trails. Figure 4-2 shows a
breakdown of existing land uses.

Existing (1995) General Plan Land Uses
Since 1995, the existing General Plan has served as a guide for how land in the city
may be developed. The General Plan, and associated Land Use Diagram, assign
each parcel a particular use and establish broad development policies that shape
distinct neighborhoods, districts, and corridors, while preserving open space, parks,
and public use areas. Land use designations identify the types of development (e.g.,
residential, commercial, industrial), the density for residential uses (how many units
are permitted per acre), and the intensity for commercial and industrial designations
(the maximum allowed building bulk and lot coverage) that is permitted on each
parcel. Figure 4-4 diagrams existing general plan land uses.
The current General Plan, adopted in 1995 and amended in 2004, includes nine land
use designations:
• Rural Residential: Permits residential uses up to one dwelling unit per acre.
• Low Density Residential: Permits residential uses up to six dwelling units per acre.
• Medium Density Residential: Permits residential uses up to 14 dwelling units per
acre.
• High Density Residential: Permits residential uses up to 28 dwelling units per acre.
• Commercial: Permits retail and service businesses, as well as residential uses up
to 28 dwelling units per acre.
• Industrial: Permits manufacturing and major employment uses.
• Recreational: Permits parks and other recreational uses in the city.
• Public: Permits public uses, including all land owned by public agencies, such as
schools, public utility facilities, and civic centers.
• Master Planned Area: The Master Plan Area land use classification is to be
applied to the parcels contained within a Master Plan or a Specific Plan at the
time of adoption by the City or County. The master plan area depicted on the map
represents the Airport Industrial Park.

Existing Zoning
While the General Plan provides general guidance on the location, type, and density/
intensity of new growth and development projects over the long term, the City's Zoning
Ordinance provides detailed development regulations and use standards for each parcel
of land. The Zoning Ordinance includes a set of zoning districts that specify uses that are
permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited within each district. Figure 4-5 depicts
existing zoning in the city. Table 4-1, found on page 32, shows a breakdown of existing
zones.
Ukiah has 14 Zoning Districts, organized as follows:
• R1, R1H, R2, and R3 are residential zones ranging from low density hillside single-family
to higher density multifamily. Combined, these residential zones account for more than
49 percent of the area within city limits and the majority of the west side. Residential
land uses range in density from 1 du/ac in R1H to 28 du/ac in R3.
• Industrial and commercial zones are Manufacturing (M), Community Commercial (C1),
Heavy Commercial (C2), and Neighborhood Commercial (CN). Commercial zones are
generally situated immediately west of U.S. Route 101 and along North and South
State Street, and account for approximately 15 percent of city. Height restrictions for
commercial zones are 50 feet in Manufacturing zones, 50 feet in Community Commercial
zones, 40 feet in Heavy Commercial zones, and 30 feet in Neighborhood Commercial
zones.
• The Public Facilities zone (PF) includes City facilities, parks, and public land. PF is the
largest zone in the city, containing approximately 24 percent of the city, including the
Ukiah Municipal Airport. Building heights in the Public Facilities zone are restricted to 30
feet for park, school, and fairground buildings, and 40 feet for utility facilities and safety
structures.
• Planned Development zones exist within the city, one for residential and one for
commercial. Planned Development zones are intended to encourage development by
providing more flexibility than is possible through the strict application of the Zoning
Code requirements and allowing flexibility of design and the application of new
techniques in land development. Large Residential Planned Development sites can be
found at the intersection of Empire Drive and Despina Drive, along North Orchard Avenue
just north of Clara Avenue, and along South Orchard Avenue just south of East Gobbi
Street. Commercial Planned Development is comprised of a large area bounded by
Airport Road to the west, U.S. Route 101 to the east, and Talmage Road to the North.
See the Introduction section of
this workbook for a discussion of
the difference between a General
Plan and Zoning Ordinance.

• In 2012 the City adopted the Downtown Zoning Code (DZC) to encourage the
development of a healthy, safe, diverse, compact, and walkable urban community.
The DZC created three downtown-specific zoning districts, shown on Figure 4-6:
◦General Urban (GU) zone allows for mixed-use and urban residential uses in a
wide range of building types, from single use and single-family to a mix of uses
and multifamily. GU zone allows for residential densities between 10 and
28 du/ac.
◦Urban Center (UC) zone allows for higher-density residential and mixed-use
buildings that may accommodate retail, office, services, local and regional civic
uses, and residential uses. This zone has a tight network of streets with wide
sidewalks, regularly spaced street tree planting, and buildings set close to lot
frontages. The UC zones allows for residential densities between 15 and
28 du/ac.
◦Downtown Core (DC) zone allows the highest density and intensity of
development by allowing a wide variety of commercial and residential uses
located in mixed-use buildings. This zone has small, walkable blocks with
regularly spaced street trees and buildings set at the frontage line. The DC zone
allows for residential densities between 15 and 28 du/ac.
Table 4-1 shows the distribution of existing zones in the city of Ukiah.
Zone Acres Percent
Community Commercial - C1 203 .5 7 .7%
Heavy Commercial - C2 138 .4 5 .2%
Neighborhood Commercial - CN 49 .6 1 .9%
Manufacturing - M 28 .5 1 .1%
Planned Development, Commercial - PDC 128 .5 4 .9%
Planned Development, Residential - PDR 91 .5 3 .5%
Public Facilities - PF 638 .3 24 .2%
Single-Family Residential - R1 626 .0 23 .7%
Single Family Residential, Hillside - R1H 489 .4 18 .6%
Medium-Density Residential - R2 75 .1 2 .8%
High-Density Residential - R3 108 .4 4 .1%
Downtown Core - DC 5 .2 0 .2%
General Urban - GU 14 .7 0 .6%

Land Available for Development
The City of Ukiah 2019-2027 Housing Element identified vacant parcels and
underutilized sites available for development within city limits. The vacant parcels
inventoried in the process are summarized by the following:
• Ukiah has nearly 120 acres of vacant land available for development within the city
limits (Figure 4-7 and Table 4-2).
• The majority of vacant land in Ukiah is designated for residential development
(113.64 acres).
• With 5.17 acres of vacant land, commercial zones comprise much of the remainder
of vacant land in the city.
• There is one vacant parcel in a Neighborhood Commercial zone (0.41 acres) and
one vacant parcel in a General Urban zone (0.1 acres).
Underutilized Sites
In the Housing Element process (2019), the City used parcel improvement value data
from the County Assessor to identify underutilized parcels. Underutilized sites were
classified as parcels where the improvement value was less than $20,000, which
suggested that the parcels were underutilized to a degree that would make them more
likely to redevelop within the planning period. Figure 4-8 shows underutilized sites in
Ukiah. Underutilized and vacant parcels are considered opportunity sites for future
development or redevelopment.

Other Notable City of Ukiah Plans
Design Guidelines
Ukiah established design guidelines in two steps, starting in 1992, when the
City adopted Design Guidelines for Commercial Structures within the Downtown
District. This effort was followed by adoption of Design Guidelines for Commercial
Structures Outside the Downtown District in 1996. These design guidelines provide
recommendations on the form, rather than use, of structures in the city. The City does
not have design guidelines for residential structures.
Ukiah Municipal Airport Master Plan
The Airport Master Plan, adopted by the City in 1996, serves as a framework within
which individual airport projects can be implemented. The Master Plan summarizes
airport inventory, role and activity, and financial plan, and establish standards for
airfield design and building area development. Importantly, the Master Plan analyzes
noise and safety compatibility issues and provides compatibility measures for impact
mitigation.
Regional Planning Efforts
Mendocino County Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Adopted in 1993, the Mendocino County Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(ACLUP) established the criteria and policies which the Mendocino County Airport
Land Use Commission use in assessing the compatibility between the public-use
airports in Mendocino County and proposed land use development in the areas
surrounding them. The ACLUP established airport compatibility zones, later adopted
by the City of Ukiah Municipal Airport Master Plan, that cover the southern area of
the city and unincorporated parks of Mendocino County. The compatibility zones do
not change the underlying zoning, but place additional development standards to
ensure that uses in those zones are compatible with both the needs and impacts of
the airport. Table 4-3 describes the airport compatibility zones, which are shown on
Figure 4-9.
Currently (2019), Mendocino County and the City of Ukiah are in the process of
updating the ACLUP with an updated land use plan for Ukiah Municipal Airport. The
new ACLUP is expected to be completed in July 2020.

Ukiah Valley Area Plan
The Ukiah Valley Area Plan (UVAP), adopted by Mendocino County in 2011, governs
land use and planning of the unincorporated areas of the Ukiah Valley. Although the
document does not cover the city of Ukiah, it does establish land use designations
and development standards within the City of Ukiah Planning Area/Sphere of
Influence.
The UVAP planning area is depicted on Figure 4-10.

5. HOUSING
Housing is a critical component of health
and well-being in a community. Individuals
and families require safe, adequate, secure,
and affordable housing. The City of Ukiah
strives to achieve a balanced housing
stock that meets the needs of all economic
segments of the community. This section
provides an analysis of housing trends in
Ukiah today.
Section 65302(c) of the California Government
Code requires that the City of Ukiah adopt a
Housing Element as part of the General Plan
to analyze issues of housing availability,
affordability, and needs within the community.
In addition, the Housing Element seeks to set
goals, policies, programs and implementation
strategies to address those issues.
Unlike the other elements of a General Plan,
Housing Elements are required to be updated
on a State-mandated review cycle. City Staff
prepared a draft 2019-2027 Housing Element
Update for public review in summer 2019.
Following the public review period, Staff
prepared a new draft, which was adopted by the
City Council on October 23, 2019 and certified
by the Department of Housing and Community
Development on December 5, 2019. The data
presented in this section was extracted from this
updated Housing Element.

Housing Units
State law requires each city and county to plan for its “fair share” of the statewide
housing need. This fair share is calculated through a process called the Regional
Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). For the sixth cycle RHNA projection period from
December 31, 2018, to August 15, 2027, the City of Ukiah was assigned a RHNA of
239 units. Even after accounting for the difference in the number of years in this cycle
compared to the 2014-2019 cycle, the 2018-2027 RHNA is significantly higher (more
than 200 percent) than the 2014-2019 RHNA at 45 units. Based on the amount of
housing production expected by the California Department of Housing and Community
Development from 2018 to 2027, the city will need to create the conditions for
sufficient housing production to meet its regional need (RHNA).
The City of Ukiah has implemented a variety of incentive-based programs over the
preceding five years in an attempt to increase housing production for all economic
segments of the community. These include creation of a housing trust fund known
as the Ukiah Housing Trust Fund, creation of a new Housing Division within the
Department of Community Development, development and implementation of a new
(2017) Housing Strategy designed to increase production of affordable and middle-
income market-rate housing, as well as other programmatic strategies. The result has
been a significant increase in new housing construction starts, all of which are infill,
as depicted below on Figure 5-1. Due to these efforts, the City was one of 12 cities and
counties out of 538 jurisdictions in full compliance with housing production goals.

Vacancy Rate
Vacancy rates are an important indicator of housing availability. High vacancy rates
usually indicate low demand, and low vacancy rates can indicate high demand and/
or an inadequate supply. Generally, a “healthy” vacancy rate for single-family homes
is 2 to 3 percent, and 7 to 8 percent for multifamily, to allow for normal housing
turnover.
According to the 2010 Census, the overall vacancy rate in Ukiah was 5.3 percent,
including units vacant for seasonal or occasional use, rented and sold units that were
vacant, and other unclassified vacant units. The data shows that vacancy rates in
nearly doubled between 2000 and 2010, likely due to the slumping economy at that
time. As the economy has recovered, the vacancy rates have declined from 2000
levels, as shown in Figure 5-2. In 2017, the overall vacancy rate was 3.0 percent.
While the rental vacancy rate fell slightly from 3.7 to 2.8 percent between 2010 and
2017, the owner vacancy rate dropped steeply to just 0.2 percent.
Understanding that Ukiah has low rental and owner vacancy rates seems to be
a sentiment shared by the community. In 2018, the City conducted a community
housing survey and found that over 70 percent of respondents listed the number one
issue or barrier to obtaining suitable housing was “home/rent prices” (55 percent) or
“lack of available housing inventory” (17 percent). The City received similar comments
at housing workshops that the City hosted in March and April of 2019.

Housing Mix
The California Department of Finance
estimates that in January 2018, the
majority (55 percent) of the city’s
housing stock was single-family
detached homes. The second most
common type of housing was multifamily
(19 percent), which includes apartments
and condominiums. In 2018, there were
significantly less 2- to 4-unit complexes
or mobile homes (Figure 5-3).

decreasing property values and
impacting neighborhood pride and
quality of life. Typically, housing
over 30 years of age is more likely
to have needs for rehabilitation.
Over 90 percent of all housing stock
in the city of Ukiah was built in
1989 or earlier and is over 30 years
of age. Only 10 percent of housing
stock is newer, and until quite
recently very few new housing units
were constructed.
Homeownership
Home equity is the largest single source
of household wealth for most Americans.
According to a 2013 survey conducted
by the Federal Reserve, the net worth
of the typical homeowner was 36 times
that of the typical renter. The national
homeownership rate has risen from
around 40 percent before World War II
to 69 percent in 2005, before dropping
to 64 percent in 2017. In comparison, in
2017 just 42 percent of Ukiah residents
owned their homes (Figure 5-5). This
contrasts with Mendocino County, where
59 percent of residents owned their
homes, and with the nation as a whole,
where 64 percent of residents owned
their homes.
Please note: housing units were produced in 2010 and later that are
not recorded on the above Figure. This analysis included data only
from ACS for consistency purposes.

Housing Prices
Median home prices in Ukiah and Mendocino County have been steadily
increasing since 2012. The median home sale price in Ukiah in 2018
was $350,350, which was slightly less than the countywide average at
$358,800. According to Zillow.com, the 2012 median home price was
$211, 000 in Ukiah and $217,000 in Mendocino County.
Housing Affordability
Many households throughout the country struggle to afford decent
housing. While higher-income households have more discretionary
income to spend on housing, moderate- and lower-income households
are limited in the range of housing that they can afford. A “cost-
burdened” household pays more than 30 percent of gross household
income for housing and utilities, while a “severely cost-burdened”
household is paying more than 50 percent. For renters, housing-related
costs may be the gross rent (contract rent plus utilities), whereas for
a homeowner, housing-related costs may include mortgage payment,
utilities, insurance, and real estate taxes.
Table 5-1 represents overpayment data by income group for Ukiah,
which is based on data from the 2011-2015 HUD Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS). Approximately 53 percent of
renters paid more than 30 percent of their income on housing compared
to 36 percent of owners. The households with the highest incidence
of cost burden were very low-income renters, of which 79 percent
overpaid for housing. Other high incidences of cost burden were
found with low-income renters and owners, of which 70 percent and
69 percent respectively, paid more than 30 percent of their income on
housing. Extremely low-income households, both renters and owners,
experienced the highest cumulative overall incidence of cost burden
(69 percent and 73 percent, respectively) for all income groups.

Overcrowding
The Census defines an overcrowded household as having more than one person
per room, not including hallways, kitchens, or bathrooms. Severe overcrowding is
defined as households with more than 1.5 persons per room. A high prevalence of
overcrowding can indicate a community does not have adequate supply of affordable
housing, especially for large families. Overcrowding also tends to deteriorate existing
housing stock more rapidly. Therefore, maintaining a reasonable supply of housing
and alleviating overcrowding is important for enhancing the quality of life in Ukiah.
From 2013-2017, Ukiah had a higher rate of overcrowding in owner-occupied
households at 6.3 percent compared to statewide rate of 4.0 percent (Table 5-2).
However, statewide, there was significantly more overcrowding in renter-occupied
housing at 13.3 percent compared to 2.9 percent in Ukiah.
Homeless Population
In 2018, Mendocino County contracted with Robert Marbut, Ph.D. to produce a report
on homelessness in the county. The report, titled “Homelessness Needs Assessment
and Action Steps for Mendocino County,” presented observations and findings, and
recommended a series of actions for addressing homeless issues countywide. This
report counted between 172 and 188 individuals experiencing homelessness in Ukiah.
Both the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors and Ukiah City Council adopted the
report, but most of the recommendations were primarily applicable to Mendocino
County because the County facilitates and oversees the existing services to address
homelessness.
Previously, the 2017 Mendocino County Point-in-Time (PIT) Count reported a total
of 1,238 homeless individuals in Mendocino County. This included 113 individuals in
an emergency shelter, 47 in transitional housing, and 1,078 who were unsheltered.
Of the total count, there were 824 males, or 67 percent, and 1,026 white persons, or
83 percent. The PIT count did not identify the geographic location of the persons
counted.

6. TRANSPORTATION & CIRCULATION
Ukiah’s transportation network and services
provide mobility for residents, employees
and visitors, and serve goods movement
throughout the Planning Area. It’s easy to
think of transportation as primarily the
roadway network, serving vehicles; but this
network also serves bicyclists, pedestrians,
and buses.

Roadway Classifications
Freeways. Freeways are Federally-designated highways that include
multi-lane, bi-directional traffic separated by a barrier or median, with
at least two lanes of traffic per direction. Access points are restricted
to sanctioned interchanges, and on-and off-ramp locations. These
roadways are under Caltrans jurisdiction.
State Highways. State highways refer to roadways with no control of
access, which may be divided or have grade-separated intersections.
The State highways in Ukiah consist of U.S. 101 and State Route (SR)
222. U.S. 101 is an integral north-south arterial, connecting Ukiah to
unincorporated areas and the greater Ukiah Valley, and spanning from
Olympia, Washington to the north and Los Angeles, California to the
south. SR 222, named Talmage Road along its entire length, is a small
east-west spur route off of U.S. 101 in Ukiah that ends east outside of
the city of Ten Thousand Buddhas. SR 20, at the northern end of the
Planning Area, is an east-west route that connects U.S. 101 with the
city of Clear Lake and Interstate 5 to the east.
Arterials. Arterials serve major activity centers, as well as neighboring
areas, and the highest traffic volume corridors to provide a network of
continuous routes that facilitate local and interregional travel. Arterials
in the city of Ukiah include East Perkins Street, East Gobbi Street, and
Talmage Road (east-west), and North State Street and South Dora
Street (north-south).
Collectors. Collectors provide local access to the overall roadway
network, channeling traffic from local roadways into the arterial
network. Important collectors in the City of Ukiah include Low Gap
Road, North Bush Street, North and South Main Streets, State Street
south of East Gobbi Street.
Local. Local roads provide direct access to neighboring areas and
primarily facilitate local travel. In addition to roads within city limits,
which are City maintained, and County-maintained roads in the
Planning Area, some local roads in the unincorporated areas of the
Ukiah Valley are maintained by private property owners.
Roadways
Roadways within the Ukiah Valley consist of a network of State and
Federal highways, as well as City and County-maintained local roadways.
The connections between these roadway systems play an integral role
in connecting the city of Ukiah and Planning Area to Mendocino County.
Figure 6-1 provides a map of roadway classifications in the Ukiah Planning
Area. Figure 6-2 shows roadway classifications within the city of Ukiah.

Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
Figure 6-3 displays total VMT occurring on local roadways and State
highways between 2001 and 2017 in the city of Ukiah. As shown, the
total VMT has fluctuated slightly over time, with a decrease in 2015
followed by an increase in 2016 and 2017. Total VMT was at its highest
point of 289,216 miles in 2017.Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is a
measure used in transportation
planning for a variety of purposes.
It measures the amount of travel
for all vehicles in a geographic
region over a given period of
time, typically a one-year period.
VMT is calculated by adding up
all the miles driven by all the cars
and trucks on all the roadways
in a region. This metric plays an
integral role in transportation
planning, policy-making, and
revenue estimation processes
due to its ability to indicate travel
demand and behavior.
SB 743. In 2013, the State of
California passed Senate Bill
(SB) 743, which mandates that
jurisdictions can no longer use
automobile delay – commonly
measured by Level of Service
(LOS) – in transportation analysis
under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). Beginning
July 1, 2020, jurisdictions must use
VMT to analyze the transportation
impacts of a proposed plan or
project under CEQA.
WHAT IS VMT?
FIGURE 6-3: STATE HIGHWAY AND LOCAL ROAD VMT, 2001-2017
Figure 6-4 displays the combined local road and State highway VMT
within the city of Ukiah on a per capita basis using Department of
Finance population statistics. Between 2001 and 2014, Ukiah VMT
fluctuated slightly between roughly 16 and 17 daily VMT per capita. In
recent years, VMT per capita saw a notable decline in 2015, followed
by an increase in 2016 and high point of 18 miles per capita in 2017.

Travel Characteristics
How Do Ukiah Residents Get to Work?
Ukiah residents overwhelmingly
commute alone by car, with a notable
minority carpooling (Figure 6-5).
Additionally, four percent of residents
work from home.
Figure 6-6 displays the distribution
of commute type, including single-
occupancy vehicles (SOV), carpooling,
public transportation, and working from
home, from 1980 to 2017. As shown,
SOVs have remained the most common
commute modes in Ukiah over the past
few decades.

How Long are their Commutes?
Figure 6-8 displays the commute
patterns by direction of home census
block to work census block. Though the
majority of Ukiah residents commute
less than 25 miles to work, nearly a
quarter must travel more than 50 miles
for work each day (Table 6-1). Those
traveling 50 miles or more typically
commute to areas southeast of the city,
such as Santa Rosa, Sacramento, San
Francisco, and Petaluma.

Active Transportation
Active transportation in Ukiah takes place on 9.1 miles
of bike lanes and an extensive sidewalk network, which
is particularly robust through downtown and surrounding
areas. However, there are several areas in the city that
have gaps in the sidewalk network that prove as potential
barriers for walking trips.
Historically, walking and biking has fluctuated over time as
shown in Figure 6-9, which displays walking and biking as a
percentage of total transportation between 2009 and 2017.
Walking, as a means of transportation, was highest in 2009,
preceding a fluctuation, then an upward trend from 2014
to 2017. Similarly, biking as a means of transportation has
also fluctuated, but has been decreasing following a peak in
2014.

Aviation Facilities
The Ukiah Municipal Airport, located at the south end of
Ukiah, serves the region as a public use, general aviation
(GA) facility, and is expected to remain as such throughout
the 20-year planning horizon. The City of Ukiah has owned
and operated the Ukiah Municipal Airport since the 1930s.
The airport has embarked on a program of improving the
infrastructure of the airport, including improving pavement,
repairing buildings, parking areas, and adding security
fencing. These improvements are expected keep the airport
viable for many years to come.

7. PUBLIC FACILITIES, SERVICES, & INFRASTRUCTURE
One of the core responsibilities of a City is
to ensure provision of public facilities and
services to its residents. Public facilities
and services contribute to the quality of
life for both individuals and groups in the
community. A key consideration in the
General Plan Update process is planning
adequate public facilities, services, and
infrastructure to accommodate future growth
and changes. This section presents an
overview of these facilities and community
services within the city limits.
617. PUBLIC FACILITIES, SERVICES, & INFRASTRUCTURE //
Page 409 of 475
Overview of Public Services
Ukiah is a full service City
Power. Ukiah has its own Electric Utility Department that provides service to
residents in the city and the surrounding environs. The municipally-owned utility
operates the Lake Mendocino Hydroelectric Plant, one of the city’s major sources
of electricity. The electric utility serves 6,100 residential and 2,100 commercial
customers and has sufficient capacity to meet power needs for the foreseeable
future.
Wastewater. Ukiah’s Department of Public Works provides wastewater collection
and treatment for about two-thirds of the city, and operates its own wastewater
treatment plant. A separate agency, the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District (UVSD)
serves the remaining portions of Ukiah, as well as communities in the SOI.
Operated by the City, one wastewater treatment plant serves both the City and
UVSD. The treatment plant has a current (2019) capacity to add nearly 1,603
equivalent sewer service units (ESSUs) before reaching capacity. One ESSU is
equivalent to 210 gallons per day of typical domestic use.
Solid Waste. Ukiah contracts its solid waste, recycling, and composting to a private
company, Ukiah Waste Solutions, which serves residents within the city of Ukiah.
The unincorporated areas of the Planning Area are served by Waste Management.
Solid waste is transported to the Ukiah Valley Transfer Station, located at 3151
Taylor Drive in Ukiah. The transfer station is designed to receive 200 tons of waste
per day, and currently receives an average of 120 to 130 tons per day.
Water. Ukiah’s Department of Public Works provides water, primarily sourced from
wells, to much of the city. Millview County Water District provides water to North
Ukiah, and an unincorporated area bordering the city to the north. Willow County
Water District provides water to South Ukiah and an unincorporated area bordering
the city to the south. Finally, Calpella County Water District provides water to the
community of Calpella. All four agencies are expected to adequately meet existing
and future demands for water, including in the event of a dry year or multiple dry
years.
Storm Drainage. The Ukiah Department of Public Works manages the storm
drainage system within the city. According to the 2012 Municipal Services Review,
the capacity of the stormwater drainage system is unknown. Much of the city’s
stormwater is conveyed by surface flow along the curb and gutter. There are
intermittent storm drains throughout the city; however, there is no central trunk line
for all of the storm drains to collect and convey stormwater to the Russian River.
Communications. Broadband and cellular services are provided to residents
and businesses from a variety of private companies, including national retailers
Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint.
Natural Gas. Natural gas service is provided by PG&E.

statistic for violent crimes and property crimes
in 2016, 2017, and 2018. With the exception of
vehicle theft and arson, crimes have been in
decline over these years.
Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Response
Fire protection and emergency medical
response services are provided by the
Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA),
which provides service to approximately
90 square miles in and around Ukiah
containing a resident population
of approximately 30,000. Within its
boundaries are historic downtown
buildings, county governmental buildings,
Mendocino Community College,
Dharma Realm Buddhist University, a
regional hospital, and all residential and
commercial developments within the
service area. UVFA is also responsible
for the lower half of Lake Mendocino,
including the Coyote Dam, expansive
wildland urban interface areas, the Ukiah
Municipal Airport, US 101, and State Route
253.
UVFA is staffed by 19 full-time safety
employees (Fire Chief, 3 Division Chiefs, 6
Captains, 6 Engineers and 3 Firefighters),
one full-time administrative-clerical
employee, and up to 25 dedicated
volunteer firefighters, including a

four fire stations (two staffed with
career personnel) with the daily staffing
consisting of a minimum of two/two
person crews cross staffing Type I
(Structural) and Type II/III (Wildland
Interface) Engines and an on-call Duty
Officer.

responsible for the forested areas in the
hills west of the city, including those within
the Planning Area. CAL FIRE's Mendocino

WHAT IS A DISADVANTAGED
UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITY?
A disadvantaged unincorporated community
is a fringe, island, or legacy community in
which the median household income is 80
percent or less than the statewide median
household income.
WHAT IS A FRINGE COMMUNITY?
A fringe community is an inhabited and
unincorporated territory within the Planning
Area.
WHAT IS AN ISLAND COMMUNITY?
An island community is any inhabited and
unincorporated territory that is surrounded
or substantially surrounded by one or more
cities or by one or more cities and a county
boundary or the Pacific Ocean.
WHAT IS A LEGACY COMMUNITY?
A legacy community is any geographically
isolated unincorporated community that is
inhabited and has existed for at least 50
years.
Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities
Pursuant to Senate Bill 244 Disadvantaged
Communities (Government Code Section
65302.10), the City must identify each
unincorporated island, fringe, or legacy community
within the Planning Area. Once identified, the
general plan must provide a description of each
community; a map designating its location;
an analysis of water, wastewater, stormwater
drainage, and structural fire protection needs
or deficiencies; and an analysis of benefit
assessment districts or other financing
alternatives that could make the extension of City
services financially feasible.
To be considered a disadvantaged unincorporated
community (DUC), a community must meet two
criteria:
• The community must be comprised of no less
than 10 dwellings adjacent or in close proximity
to one another.
• The median household income in the community
must be 80 percent or less than the statewide
median household income of $67,169. Eighty
percent of the statewide median household
income is approximately $53,735.
In order to identify DUCs, the City first identified
unincorporated areas within the Planning Area that
had a median income that was 80 percent less
than the State median (Figure 7-3). Next, within
the areas identified, the City identified groupings
of ten or more dwelling units that were in close
proximity to each other and that were also similar
in form to the density of residential areas typically
located in suburban and urban communities. After
identifying these potential DUCs, the City reviewed
each to confirm they matched the intent of the SB
244 analysis and that the digital data sources used
match current realities.
Through this identification process, the City
identified 11 DUCs within the Planning Area. These
communities are depicted on Figures 7-4 and 7-5,
and in Table 7-2.

8. OPEN SPACE, PARKS, & RECREATION
Parks and recreation provide many benefits
to a community, including economic, health,
environmental, social, and overall quality of
life. Open space also serves many important
recreational, natural resource, and cultural
purposes. It offers places for wildlife habitat,
wilderness protection, enhanced groundwater
quality, recreational use, historic landscapes,
and visual corridors. The Open Space, Parks,
and Recreation section outlines existing open
space, parks, recreation facilities, and access
conditions in Ukiah.
738. OPEN SPACE, PARKS, & RECREATION //
Page 421 of 475
Open Space
Despite abundant open space in the Ukiah
Valley, open space within the city is limited
to Ukiah parks (discussed on page 76) and
Low Gap Park, an 80-acre open-space park
operated by Mendocino County. Located just
across Low Gap Road from Ukiah High School,
Low Gap park includes formal recreation
facilities, including playgrounds, tennis courts,
and an archery range. The vast majority of
the park, however, is comprised of open
space with walking and hiking trails woven
throughout.
Branching from Low Gap Park, the City View
Trail winds its way through the western hills.
This approximately 1.5 mile long extension
to existing trails in Low Gap Park has been
designed by the Ukiah Valley Trails Group for
the benefit of the entire community. Intended
as a multi-use trail, for hikers and bikers alike,
it will offer breath-taking vistas of the Ukiah
Valley with an eye toward the preservation
and appreciation of native California flora and
fauna.
Within the Planning Area, open space
recreational opportunities exist within County
and Federal parks, as well as along the
Russian River.
Operated by Mendocino County, Mill Creek
Park is a 400-acre park consisting of several
separate parcels along Mill Creek. Located
outside the town of Talmage, the park is
situated in a narrow canyon at the foot of Cow
Mountain on the eastern side of Ukiah Valley.
Mill Creek Park is home to a mixed forest of
oak, madrone, bay, and other indigenous trees.
Mill Creek runs through the center of the park,
and there are several nature trails that lead
guests throughout the park's wooded hills,
treating them to wildflowers in the spring and
spectacular views of Ukiah Valley year-round.
There are two Federal open space recreation
areas within the Ukiah Planning Area: Lake
Mendocino and Cow Mountain. These areas
attract Valley residents as well as people from
throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Lake Mendocino Recreation Area
occupies 5,110 acres in the northeastern
portion of the Ukiah Valley, including the
vast surface area of the lake itself. Operated
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lake
Mendocino is a multi-purpose reservoir,
offering day-use facilities, boat launching
locations, and overnight campground sites.
The 60,000-acre Cow Mountain Recreation
Area is located in the Mayacamas Mountains
and is managed by the Bureau of Land
Management. Approximately 1,296 acres of
this area falls within the Ukiah Valley and
is accessible from Mill Creek Road. Cow
Mountain offers back country recreation such
as hiking and horseback riding trails, hunting,
camping, and off-highway vehicle use.
The Russian River provides various
recreational opportunities, such as swimming,
fishing, inner tubing and picnicking. Public
access to the Russian River is only allowed
at specified public access points. There are
four public access points to the river near
the city of Ukiah: the City’s Softball Complex
in the northeast portion of the city, the Vichy
Spring-Perkins Road crossing, Riverside Park
located at the end of Gobbi Street, and the
Talmage Road crossing.
Agricultural Lands
The Planning Area is home to a number of
productive agricultural parcels and hosts
one of the largest concentrations of organic
farmers in the State. Agricultural land in the
plan area is predominately comprised of
vineyards and fruit orchards (primarily pear
and apple) but also includes other row crops
and pasture. Agricultural production has been
an important part of the area's economy for
generations and agricultural lands provide
a pastoral quality that helps define the
character of the Ukiah. There is widespread
public interest in preserving agricultural
lands. Open spaces within the Planning Area,
including agricultural lands, are shown on
Figure 8-1.

The City of Ukiah Parks and Recreation
Department programming seeks to involve
all ages and interests. The Department
offers a variety of classes under topics such
as pet training, dance, music, art, and health
and fitness. Additionally, the Department
takes suggestions from residents and holds
specialized classes based on public input.
These classes include topics such as CPR
training, babysitting training for teens, life
coaching, and women's groups.
The Department organizes sports leagues
for a variety of ages throughout the year.
Current (2019) offerings include ping
pong, tennis, soccer, baseball and softball,
pickleball, and more.
The Ukiah Municipal Swimming Pool is
located at Todd Grove Park where residents
can take swim lessons and exercise or water
recreation classes. Paddle board yoga is
also offered on Lake Mendocino during the
summer months.
Special Events
Throughout the year, the City of Ukiah
holds special events to build community
and encourage outdoor recreation. Events
scheduled for the Fall of 2019 include a
three-day PumpkinFest (featuring a pumpkin
derby, giant pumpkin weigh-off, parade,
baking contest, and more), a Thanksgiving
break basketball camp, and Ukiah on Ice at
Alex R. Thomas Plaza.
SUNDAYS IN THE PARK
Held by the City each summer, Sundays in the Park
Free Concert Series is the largest and most recognized
community event in Mendocino County. Since 1991,
the series has thrilled the community with exceptional
musical performances by artists from diverse genres
including blues, classical, country, salsa, soul, rock,
swing, reggae and more. Each summer, taking center
stage in beautiful Todd Grove Park, six free concerts
featuring world-renowned artists as well as local talent,
entertain more than 20,000 music fans.

Water Quality
The City of Ukiah draws its water from the Russian River and three active
groundwater wells. Water derived from each well varies depending on
demand and the time of the year. According to annual water quality
testing reports, the City of Ukiah’s water quality is considered to be safe
and reliable. During emergencies, the City of Ukiah has the ability to
purchase water from neighboring water systems: Millview County Water
District and Willow County Water District. As of 2019, the City reported
that the water that it produces and distributes meets and exceeds State
and Federal standards for drinking water quality. These results are
published each year in the Annual Water Quality Report.
Water Recycling
Water recycling is reusing treated wastewater for beneficial purposes
such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes, toilet
flushing, and replenishing a ground water basin (referred to as ground
water recharge). By providing an additional source of water, water
recycling can decrease the diversion of water from sensitive ecosystems,
decrease wastewater discharges, and reduce pollution. Recycled water
can also be used to create or enhance wetlands and riparian habitats.
The City of Ukiah has finished construction of its recycled water system.
Phases 1-3 are complete and produce recycled water for customers
including agriculture, industrial uses, and landscaping, including a variety
of municipal agencies. Phases 1-3 can return approximately two-thirds
of the plant's capacity to beneficial use. Phase 4 has been designed
and funding is being identified to complete this final phase. Phase 4 is
designed to subscribe 100 percent of the treatment plant's capacity.

Air Quality
Overall air quality in the Planning Area
is generally good when compared with
statewide and nationwide averages.
Similar to the rest of California, ozone
and particulate matter are the pollutants
of most concern in the area. Air quality
monitoring in the Ukiah area reports
particulate matter from 2015 to 2017 did
not exceed California standards for more
than eight days in a year. Ozone pollution
in the area has been well below the
average national and State thresholds.
Major pollution sources for the city of
Ukiah are transportation emissions such
as diesel particulate matter.
Biological Habitat
The City has protected several types of
oak species in an effort to revitalize the
neighboring oak forest. Protected tree
species in the city are black oak, blue oak,
coast live oak, cork oak, interior live oak,
oracle oak, Oregon oak, valley oak, white oak,
native California oak, California buckeye,
California bay, and California/coast redwood.
Trees on the protected species list include
designated landmark trees, trees in riparian
corridors, and trees planted as part of
mitigation efforts or conditions of approval.
Species listed as threatened or endangered
within the Planning Area include the northern
spotted owl, foothill yellow-legged frog, red-
bellied newt, chinook salmon, and steelhead
trout. Riparian woodland and riparian
forest along the Russian River (Figure 9-1)
provide habitat for naturally occurring plant
species including box elder, button willow,
blackberry, wild rose, wild grape, and coyote
bush. Wetlands within city limits are on the
Parducci Wine Cellars’ grounds.
Air quality issues following the 2018 Camp Fire
closed Mendocino County Schools and many
government offices.
This white oak in Todd Grove Park is one of the few
remaining large oaks in the park.

10. HAZARDS & SAFETY
Natural hazards in the Ukiah region are
similar to those in the greater northern
California area. Earthquake, wildfire, and
drought are of the highest concerns, as
well as an increased number of high heat
days and localized flooding.

Earthquakes
Earthquake severity is measured by the Modified
Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale. The MMI measures
ground shaking severity at a given site according
to damage done to structures, changes in the earth
surface, and personal accounts. An earthquake’s
ground motion is what will cause building and
infrastructure damage along fault lines. The MMI scale
is illustrated in the graphic on the right. Peak ground
acceleration (PGA) is used to measure earthquake
intensity by quantifying how hard the earth shakes in a
given location.
The closest fault zone to Ukiah is the Maacama Fault
Zone, which is approximately 2 miles east of the city
limits. In the event of an earthquake, Ukiah would
experience strong shaking (level of VI on the MMI
scale) with a peak ground acceleration rating of 80,
which would result in quick acceleration of the earth.
Such an earthquake can result in considerable damage
to poorly built or designed structures, and slight
damage to buildings designed to withstand severe
ground shaking. Actual damage caused is dependent
on the severity of the earthquake, the specific
buildings and infrastructure involved, and other various
factors. Figure 10-1 shows seismic hazards and peak
ground acceleration in the Ukiah Planning Area.
Liquefaction occurs when seismic waves pass through
granular soil, causing some of the empty spaces
between granules to collapse and can cause severe
damage to properties. It is the act of a soil’s behavior
becoming similar to liquid due to ground shaking from
an earthquake. During an earthquake, the area of Ukiah
is not highly susceptible to liquefaction; however, there
may be moderate risk of liquefaction along creeks and
rivers.
Maacama fault produced a reported 5.6 earthquake
in the Ukiah area in 1869 as well as an abundance of
microquakes in recent years.
Earthquake Hazard and Probability Maps produced
by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) show
that the entire population, all non-critical facilities,
and all critical facilities and infrastructure in Ukiah is
located within a violent shaking range (78-100 percent
acceleration due to gravity).
WHAT IS THE MODIFIED MERCALI INTENSITY SCALE (MMI)
MMI measures ground shaking
severity at a given site according
to damage done to structures,
changes in earth surface and
personal accounts.
In the event of a large
earthquake, Ukiah is expected
to experience an intensity of
VI on the MMI, which would be
expected to result in strong
shaking.

Page 437 of 475
Wildfire
Regionally, the Ukiah Planning Area is near
other zones of high or very high wildfire
severity to the west, southwest, and
northwest, although there is less of a threat
from those areas because of their relative
distance from Ukiah. Brush fires in the area
are common during the summer but are
generally extinguished before developed
areas sustain much damage. While the city
is not in an area of high fire hazard severity,
Ukiah’s proximity to the Mendocino Range
does pose a threat of wildfire spreading
into the city where the range meets the
western portion of the city limits.
California law requires CAL FIRE to identify
the severity of fire hazard statewide. CAL
FIRE identified Fire Hazard Severity Zones
based on factors such as fuel, slope of the
land and fire weather. CAL FIRE assigns
responsibility for each zone to either the
State or a local jurisdiction. Fire hazard
severity zones near the city of Ukiah are
shown on Figure 10-2.
Previous large fires in the surrounding
area also posed a threat to the city of
Ukiah, such as the Mendocino Complex
Fire (Ranch Fire). The Ranch Fire began
off Highway 20 near Potter Valley just
northeast of Ukiah in the summer of 2018
and was not fully extinguished until the
beginning of 2019. The fire burned a total
of 410,203 acres throughout Mendocino,
Lake, Colusa, and Glenn counties.
Ukiah's geography and proximity to
wildlands puts the city in danger. The
State's Fire-Hazard Severity Map shows
the city is surrounded. In 2019, CAL FIRE,
Mendocino County, and the City of Ukiah
established fire breaks along the western
hills to prevent a catastrophic fire from
escaping the wildlands and traveling
through the city.
Droughts
California is susceptible to dry periods,
and times of extended drought are
likely to occur in the future. Drought is a
result of lower than average rainfall over
extended periods of time. Projections
show average annual precipitation in the
area could decrease from 39.6 inches
per year to 32.7 inches per year over
the next 20 years. This reduction in
rainfall would be worsened by a similar
reduction in Sierra snowpack in the
future, which provides much of the water
for California in dry summer months.
Droughts may therefore become more
prevalent in future decades and Ukiah is
likely to be affected.
Between 2011 and 2014, the State
of California experienced the driest
period in recorded history. The resulting
drought lasted from 2012 to 2017, dried
up wells, and killed millions of trees. The
California Drought Monitor designated
Mendocino County in a "severe drought"
in April 2013 and County Supervisors
declared a drought emergency by
January 2014. After nearly three years
of drought, the County was downgraded
from drought conditions in March 2016
following a series of El Nino driven
winter storms. Although most areas of
the State were out of drought conditions
by 2017, the State of California wasn't
declared totally drought-free until March
2019.

Extreme Heat Events
An extreme heat day is defined by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as any
day where temperatures reach above 90 degrees
Fahrenheit. Temperatures above 90 degrees
are associated with health risks especially for
seniors, those with respiratory concerns, and other
sensitive groups. Ukiah averages approximately
63 days of extreme heat annually , as well as
occasionally experiencing heat waves where more
than four extreme heat days occur consecutively.
Cal-Adapt projections show that the average of
both extreme heat days and heat waves in Ukiah is
expected to increase substantially, with an average
of 79 extreme heat days expected by the year
2040.
Flooding
Major flood-related concerns in the Ukiah Valley
include flooding as a result of heavy storms and
the potential failure of the Coyote Dam at the base
of Lake Mendocino. Ukiah is primarily susceptible
to flooding on the eastern border of the city limits,
although localized flooding may occur in other
areas. Areas within a 100-year floodplain have
a 1 percent chance each year of flooding, while
areas in a 500-year floodplain have a 0.2 percent
chance each year of flooding. The 100-year and
500-year floodplain extends the length of Russian
River from the northeastern city limits through
the southeastern city limits of Ukiah (Figure 10-
3). Areas within the city limits along Gibson Creek
and Doolin Creek are in the 100-year and 500-year
floodplain as well.
According to the Ukiah Valley Area Plan, in the
event of a hypothetical total dam failure, water
would flow north up the Russian River channel
to a point north of Highway 20 before stopping,
and south well past the boundaries of the Ukiah
Planning Area. The main channel of flooding would
likely follow U.S. 101 or State Street, whichever is
further west. In the southern portions of the Valley,
the Army Corps projects that most segments of
U.S. 101 south of Talmage Road will be under
water and that the community of Talmage would
likely have portions of its west side inundated.
Resiliency Efforts in Ukiah
Ukiah seeks to keep residents and assets as
safe as possible in the event of a disaster
through land use controls, hazard mitigation
and emergency response efforts, and
community programs. The City also works
with Mendocino County on a number of plans
and programs.
Resiliency efforts in Ukiah include:
• Participation in the Mendocino County
Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan
• Participation in the North Coast
Opportunities Disaster Preparedness
Training Programs
• Trainings for residents in Community
Preparedness and Resilience Skills
• Upgrades to buildings and infrastructure
to comply with building and fire codes
• Supporting the Mendocino County
Emergency Services Division
• Water conservation measures and
programs
• Support for and information on creating a
Family Disaster Plan for residents
• Fire breaks installed in western hills in
2019 by CAL FIRE, Mendocino County, and
the City of Ukiah
• Controlled burn days by CAL FIRE

2. League Adopted-2021-Strategic-Priorities
Summary: Council will consider adoption of a Resolution adopting a 2021 Advocacy Platform to provide
guidance regarding local, state and federal legislative and judicial matters, and allow the City to weigh in on
such matters in a timely fashion. An advocacy platform enables the Mayor and/or City Manager, or their
designee, to submit letters or other filings on behalf of the City if the proposed matter is within the City’s
adopted advocacy platform guidelines. Additionally, platform guidelines enable the City to actively participate
in the regional, state and federal legislative processes on behalf of the City of Ukiah.
Background: The ability of the City to serve the residents and provide for a thriving and sustainable
community requires support from all levels of government. Local government is uniquely and best positioned
to support, serve, and respond to community and individual needs. However, with local, state and federal
legislative policy and judicial matters, action is often needed to support local government in having this impact.
These legislative policies and legal actions can affect the City's ability to deliver services, shape what services
are delivered, impact the resources available for services, and remove obstacles to delivering services. These
policies sometimes require immediate attention.
The Ukiah City Council has annually adopted a Platform and a corresponding resolution, most recently in
September 2020. The proposed 2021 Advocacy Resolution and Platform is provided as Attachment 1.
Discussion: In order to fulfill the City’s commitment to the community, positive local, state and federal action--
including the allocation of resources--should be sought.
The Advocacy Platform is also consistent with the 2021 goals and priorities of the League of California Cities
("the League"), provided as Attachment 2.
The proposed 2021 Advocacy Platform from the City states it does not take positions on matters outside the
scope and purpose of municipal government. Occasionally, the City is asked to take positions that do not
materially affect the scope and purpose of our municipal government; these tend to be quality of life or social
issues; or federal government matters like foreign policy.
The Platform would not preclude the Mayor or Councilmembers from placing an item on the agenda for
consideration. However, it would provide guidance to others about positions typically taken by the City
Council.
Page 443 of 475
Page 2 of 2
To this end, if the City should adopt/update the proposed 2021 Advocacy Platform, it would provide a guide for
the City’s legislative advocates and highlight key issues important to the local community. The Platform
provides 14 over-arching guiding principles intended for specific legislative and legal action and supports
existing City Council-established goals and policies. The priorities outlined streamline the legislative approval
process by providing clear direction on pertinent issues for our community. It is by no means all-
encompassing.
As previously stated, the Platform is reviewed by Council on an annual basis in coordination with the State’s
legislative calendar, and will continue to be listed on the tracking calendar for Council review, likely in
December 2021.
Staff recommends the adoption of the proposed Resolution that includes the 2021 Advocacy Platform
providing overall guidance that allows the Mayor, and/or City Manager, or their designee, to send/file support
or opposition to the League and other agencies/organizations to protect or advocate for our community.
Recommended Action: Adopt resolution adopting a 2021 Advocacy Platform to serve as guidelines for local,
state, and federal legislative, administrative, regulatory and court matters.

CITY OF UKIAH ADVOCACY PLATFORM 2021
PURPOSE OF PLATFORM
The City of Ukiah recognizes the need for active legislative engagement at the local, state and federal
levels to protect and enhance the interests of Ukiah’s residents and businesses. Accordingly, City
officials maintain close relationships with Ukiah’s s tate and federal representatives to advocate,
influence and monitor pertinent legislation.
The purpose of this platform is to clearly outline the position of the City on priority issues and
matters that impact the City’s ability to operate effectively, while allowing consideration of
additional legislative issues that arise during the legislative session. By doing this, the legislative
process is streamlined by receiving clear direction at the beginning of the legislative session from the
City Council on pertinent legislative issues.
The League of California Cities is a primary resource for the City of Ukiah with respect to state and
federal legislative or administrative agency matters affecting municipal government, and the following
priorities are consistent with those of the League. The platform will also be used when applicable
on other local, regional, state and federal matters not evaluated by the League, including
administrative agency policies and rule-making, and appellate and Supreme Court cases in the
California and federal courts. Platform priorities are intended to assist the Mayor, City Council, and
staff to proactively and appropriately address legislation, administrative agency rule-making and
precedent setting court cases to promote City interests and preserve local legislative authority if and
when necessary.
PRIORITIES
The City of Ukiah takes the following positions and the Mayor and the City Manager may send
corresponding letters of opposition or support without further City Council action and, whenever filing
deadlines preclude prior City Council action, may authorize naming the City as a party to an amicus
brief to be filed in state or federal court, provided the City incurs no cost to join the amicus brief.
1. The City values its ability and authority to exercise local control, enable excellent public services
and protect and enhance the quality of life for Ukiah residents and businesses. The City supports
efforts to streamline regulations that simplify the job of running the City and opposes efforts that
erode the City’s authority to control its own affairs.
2. The City opposes attempts to decrease, restrict or eliminate city revenue sources and opposes
any efforts at the local, state or federal level to retain additional revenues currently dedicated
to local government for state purposes.
3. The City opposes any regulations or legislative actions or court decision that would eliminate or
limit the City’s ability to provide utility services within the incorporated jurisdiction.
4. The City supports local, state and federal budget plans that provide sustainable, reliable funding
for priority local government programs.
5. The City supports any legislative or regulatory action that increases the energy value for the
electric customer.
6. The City supports the use of California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Cap and Trade program
allowances and energy resources that are clean, renewable and cost effective.
Page 446 of 475
EXHIBIT A
7. The City supports increases in transportation funding for local street and road improvements
to promote investing in the maintenance and rehabilitation of aging infrastructure.
8. The City embraces efforts to obtain funding for economic development and environmental
initiatives, including planning and implementation of regional transportation and traffic
congestion relief projects, and the creation of affordable housing. The City also supports
legislation that provides incentives for job creation and retention, including legislation that
increases funding and allowable uses for the Community Development Block Grant program.
9. The City supports policy that advocates for a clean environment and policy to improve
environmental standards and promote sustainable energy policies.
10. The City supports legislation and policies that enable local officials to access resources to provide
quality police, fire, emergency management, emergency medical services, youth violence
prevention initiatives, and to engage the community in its own safety.
11. The City values a sustainable quality of life and supports parks and open space, recreation facilities,
environmental and climate protection, resource conservation, libraries, arts and culture and
legislation and policies that emphasize sustainable development.
12. The City supports legislation that provides Cities additional funding and tools and preserves local
authority to address housing production, affordability, and homelessness challenges.
13. The City supports policy that helps improve disaster preparedness, recovery, and climate
resiliency.
14. The City supports policy that promotes the sustainability of public pension and retirement health
benefits.
In most cases the City of Ukiah will not take positions on matters not affecting the primary scope and
purpose of municipal government – for example, social issues or foreign policy, however such items
can be brought forward to Council if appropriate.
TRACKING
The City Manager (or City Manager designee) will provide updates on important legislative issues
and/or those matters that the City has stated a position on during the City Manager’s comment
section to City Council. Copies of all correspondence will be copied to City Council. The City
Attorney will seek authorization to join amicus briefs, whenever possible, and will promptly notify and
explain to the City Council any briefs in which the City joins without prior City Council approval.
REVIEW
This platform will be reviewed prior to each year’s legislative session in January/February of each year.

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES
2021 Strategic Advocacy Priorities
For more information visit www.calcities.org/strategicpriorities
City leaders throughout the state work hard every day to improve the quality of life for their
residents, and create an equitable and just future for all Californians. In 2020, city leaders
displayed remarkable resilience in their commitment to serving the ir communities, taking
action to protect their residents from a global pandemic, leading in the recovery of their local
economies, responding to calls for equity and justice, and combating one of the worst wildfire
seasons in history.
In setting the League of California Cities annual strategic advocacy priorities, cities remain
committed to resiliency, response, and recovery to strengthen our cities and move our
communities forward. We stand ready to work collaboratively with the state and federal
governments and other stakeholders to accomplish our strategic advocacy priorities in 2021.
1.Secure state and federal funding for local COVID-19 public health response and
economic recovery for all. Secure direct and flexible funding and resources for cities
of all sizes so they can continue to protect residents from the pandemic, deliver
essential services, support small businesses, and lead the recovery in our
communities. Improve communication and coordination with regional, state, and
federal governments on public health orders and programs to stimulate equitable
economic recovery.
2.Secure funding to increase the supply and affordability of housing and
resources to assist individuals at risk of – or already experiencing –
homelessness while preserving local decision making. Secure additional
resources to increase construction of housing, particularly affordable housing,
workforce housing, and permanent supportive housing, and ensure cities retain
flexibility based on the land use needs of each community. Increas e flexibility and
resources to provide navigation assistance and emergency shelters, and strengthen
partnerships and collaboration with stakeholders to ensure mental health, substance
abuse treatment, and wraparound services are available for adults and yo uth at risk of
–or already experiencing – homelessness in our communities.
3.Improve state-local coordination and planning to strengthen community disaster
preparedness, resiliency, and recovery. Pursue additional resources and support to
mitigate the effects of climate change, sea level rise, catastrophic wildfires, and
flooding in our communities. Promote community disaster preparedness, resiliency,
and recovery in collaboration with the state and federal governments. Increase
availability and access to the National Flood Insurance Program to include other
natural disasters.
4.Protect and modernize critical infrastructure. Seek increased state and federal
resources for critical and sustainable local infrastructure projects including roads,
public transit, active transportation, water availability, and broadband deployment that
enhance workforce and economic development and improve quality of life.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Receive Updates on City Council Committee and Ad Hoc Assignments, and Consider

PRESENTER: Mayor Orozco and Sage Sangiacomo, City
Manager.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. DRAFT 2021 City Council Special Assignments
Summary: City Council members will provide reports and updates on their committee and ad hoc
assignments.
Each year following the rotation of the mayor position, the incoming mayor leads a review of
assignments. The Council will also consider modifications, additions and elimination of committee and ad
hocs.
Background: City of Ukiah Councilmembers take an active role in various commissions and committees that
are part of city, county, regional, and statewide governance and interests. Each year, the incoming mayor
leads a discussion and makes annual appointments for members assigned to the various groups. The
assignments are broken out into four categories as follows:
County / Regional (On-going; Principal Representative + Alternate) - The City takes part in decision making by
these groups and is represented by an appointed member, who has a designated alternate. These
assignments typically require attendance at a monthly (or other interval) meeting.
County / Regional (On-going; One + Staff Alternate) - The City takes part in discussions, may be a member of
the Board, or have ex officio status (observer). City staff is active with these groups and serves as an alternate
or single representative for the City. These groups typically have monthly meetings.
Local / County / Regional Liaisons (On-Going; One or Two Council and/or Staff) - This group varies; some
meetings are regularly scheduled and others are arranged occasionally as needed. This group includes
appointments that may, from time to time, include a Board seat for a City Council member.
Ad Hoc Committees (Limited Time; Two Council + Principal Staff Support) - The City Council may establish
and appoint ad hoc committees at any time throughout the year. Ad Hoc committees are for specific issues
and do not carry over year to year unless that specific issue remains under discussion.
***Note: Although the Council Ad Hoc Committees are a part of the Council Special Assignment List, they are
officially appointed by the Council at various meetings, and are subject to Council approval for any changes.
Discussion: Attachment #1 is a draft of the 2021 Council Special Assignment List and Ad Hoc Committees
inclusive of recommended changes (delineated by line/strikethrough edits) offered by the Mayor in
consultation with the City Manager. The Mayor will lead a discussion with Council regarding Council
Page 449 of 475
Page 2 of 2
assignments and make any appointments or reassignments per that discussion. In addition, the Council will
consider modifications, additions and disbandment of ad hocs. Staff recommends directing the City Clerk to
attach the finalized copy of the 2021 City Council Special Assignments List to the February 17, 2021, Minutes
for recordation.
Recommended Action: Receive report(s). The Council will consider modifications to committee and ad hoc
assignments along with the creation/elimination ad hoc(s).

Summary: Council will review and consider adopting a resolution making nominations and appointments to
the Equity and Diversity Standing Committee.
Background: On July 1, 2020, the City Council established a Diversity and Equity Ad Hoc committee
consisting of Vice-major Orozco, Councilmember Mulheren, and support staff from the City Manager’s Office,
to ensure a comprehensive approach to continue the forward progress and evolution of our agency and
service to our community. The Ad Hoc reviewed research and analysis regarding community demographics,
City staff diversity demographics, and internal policies and procedures. The Ad Hoc concluded that a Standing
Committee would be the most effective and efficient mechanism to ensure extensive ongoing community
engagement from the diversity of demographic groups within the City of Ukiah, successful plan development
and implementation, and to provide a process for annual review, oversight, and updates as necessary.
On October 7, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-59 to establish an eleven (11) member Equity
and Diversity Standing Committee, and set forth the procedure for filling vacancies (Attachment 1). The
structure of the standing committee is designed to ensure optimal representation from the diverse
demographic groups represented in the population of the City of Ukiah and the larger community living and
working in the Ukiah Valley. The Standing Committee consists of eleven (11) members. The members consist
of two members of the City Council and one member from each of nine organizations in the City of Ukiah or
the Ukiah Valley, including redwood and Potter Valleys which serve or represent: individuals and families who
are low income, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons from the LGBTQA community, members
of Native American tribes and communities in Mendocino County, members of the Hispanic/Latino community,
persons of color, people whose primary language is not English, youth ages 21 and younger, and seniors 65
years and older.
Discussion: The Equity and Diversity Ad Hoc have solicited community members for the vacant committee
seats since October 7, 2020. The Clerk’s office has received seven applications that have been vetted to meet
the position requirements. Staff is recommending that Council dissolve the existing Equity and Diversity Ad
Hoc and adopt the proposed resolution (Attachment 2) nominating and appointing the following individuals to
the Equity and Diversity Standing Committee (see Attachment 3)

City of Ukiah Diversity and Equity Application for Appointment questions
1. What is your understanding of the purpose, role and responsibility of the Diversity and Equity
Committee?
Equity refers to the fair and respectful treatment of all people. Diversity addresses the understanding
that one recognizes and respects ev eryone's unique qu alities and attributes. The purpose of a diversity
and equity committee is to create an opportunity for individuals from different backgrounds such as,
ethnicity, race, cultural, social economic, gender, sexual orientation, age , educational to name a few,
coming together to form a task force for the purpose of promote awareness for equal opportunities for
those who are less privilege. By means of education, training, advocacy, developing policies and
procedure. On behalf of those that are not able for many reason to speak or represent them .
2. What is your understanding of/and ability to meet the responsibilities of committee members
regarding meeting attendance? (Can you attend regular committee meetings? Do you have any
scheduling conflicts or are there any other circumstances that would prevent you from regular
attendance?)
Not having information upfront of meeting dates, how often, the time and so forth, I will not have
difficulties participating and meeting the give responsibiliti es if advanced notice if given. I presently
participate as a Tru stee for the M endocino community college . The Trustees hold the board meetings
once a month. I am a board member with the Cancer Resource Center and the board meetings are
health every three months for one hour. I prefer a consistent meeting schedule with set dates and
time; but I understand that one must be available for ad hoc meetings or emergency meeti ngs . I like
zoom meetings when appropriate to, it's a solution to having more flexibility with scheduling meetings.
3. How do you believe your own skills, experience, expertise, and perspectives will be beneficial to
the work of the Diversity and Equity Committee?
I bring to the table my personal and professional experiences; I am the first in my family to go to college
and obtain two masters; one in nursing and the other in psychology . I am bilingual and bicultural, first
generation immigrant, activist who has dedicated her life to service. I have forty years of experience
working in the medical field; family medicine, psychiatry with underserved populations.
I am Mexican and strongly identify with my indigenous roots as a Mestiza woman. I bring knowledge
and experience with traditional cultural and spiritual practices. I have been involved with incarcerated
Native Americans from different Tribal Nations for the past thirty years. I have volunteered and now
work part time for the California Department Corrections and Rehabilitation in the religious/spiritual
services . By marriage, my husband is Wapo Pomo Native to this county.
Page 463 of 475
I know and understand what it is to come from a non-privileged background. I am one of seven siblings,
raised by a single parent, and the first to attend college . I understand what it means to be poor, lacking
understanding of how to navigate through the systems put in place by the dominant culture and treated
different every step of the way.
When I arrived in the U.S.A at the early age of twelve years old, we lived in the, "Barrio" in East Los
Angeles . What a culture shock. Only spoke Spanish, felt like an outsider, discriminated by all races but
specially those who called themselves Mexican Americans/Chicanos. I understand today that what I was
experiencing was internalized oppression. I remember one of my teachers in my first year of high
school said to me, "I like to see you graduate and not end up like the women in your culture, pregnant.''
His words challenged my spirit by igniting anger inside of me. I channeled the anger and proved him
wrong. I thank him today because; his words awoke the passion, perseverance and endurance that keep
me motivated today.
I hope that my professional and personal life experiences can help others. If given the opportunity to
serve in the Diversity and Equity committee, I can continue to expand my involvement with advocating
in a new platform.
4. Are there any other City of Ukiah Committees/Commissions in which you are interested and or
which you would be willing to serve?
Absolutely! I would like to have more information of what other Committees/Commissions are in place.
Respectfully,
Xochilt J. Morales de Martinez

1. What Is your understanding of the purpose, role and
responsibility of the Diversity and Equity Committee?
It is my understanding that, the Diversity and Equity Committee purpose, is
to bring awareness to the diverse of the community, and help assure fairness
is being practiced to promote equity, regardless of race, creed, religion,
sexual identity, gender identity, physical or mental disability. The Diversity
and Equity Committee advocates equity amongst its agencies serving the
people of the community. Preserving community integrity. As a committee
member I would take the responsibility of communicating with our team, City
Council, and City Manager the practice of equity within the departments and
community.
2. What is your understanding of/and ability to meet the
responsibilities of committee members in regards to
meeting attendance? (Can you attend regular committee
meetings? Do you have any scheduling conflicts or are
there any other circumstances that would prevent you
from regular attendance?)
I understand that, committee members are responsible for working together
on the Action Plan alongside the City Manager and Executive Staff.
Committee members must attend monthly meetings.
I'm diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease. I'm dependent on dialysis
three times per week (Monday,Wednesday,Friday) llam-4pm. I'm also a
substitute paraprofessional with Ukiah Unified School District, pending
assignments and availability. I have Wi-Fi available at my home to do remote
meetings. My best availability is Tuesday, Thursday and weekends for
meetings and workshops.
3. How do you believe your own skills, experience,
expertise and perspectives will be beneficial to the work
of the Diversity and Equity Committee?
I grew up in public housing in San Francisco. At the age of 17, I "came out"
as openly gay. Shortly after "coming out" I became a peer counselor at my
high school, then later at a homeless youth shelter. I was a peer counselor
from the ages of 17-21. I learned a lot about diversity. Most importantly, I
learned that diversity should be celebrated and not shamed. I learned the
great importance of equity. We all have the right to equality, and a fair
representation in society no matter our choice of lifestyle, race, religion,
Page 467 of 475
gender or culture. We all have the right to representation in the community
without prejudice or oppression.
I feel that my own life experiences of growing up a gay black male and
fighting the homophobia and prejudice of society will bring a uniqueness of
understanding of the importance to support equity and the celebration of
diversity in the community. By establishing this awareness, strengthens
integrity and creates balance in the community.
4. Are there any other City of Ukiah
Committees/Commissions in which you are interested and
on which you would be willing to serve?
At this time, my availability limits my participation in our committees or
commissions. However, I will keep the opportunity under consideration.

ATTACHMENT TO DIVERSITY AND EQUITY APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT
The stated purpose of the Committee is to develop an action plan for the City to foster diversity and
equity in the organizational structure of the City and the greater City community. In developing the Plan
the Committee will be reviewing City policies, practices and procedures to promote and enhance equal
participation and access to City services, resources and life opportunities to ensure that the City’s
practices and organizational structure reflects the diversity of the Ukiah community.
I interpret that to mean that the Committee will be developing a City Plan for approval by the City
Council that will promote a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and belonging environment for the City and
Ukiah community, where all City employees and prospective employees, City residents and all persons
that have dealings with the City experience fairness, dignity, and respect.
As a California Cahuilla Indian that has worked extensively with all of the Indian Tribes of Mendocino
County, I believe I bring a unique knowledge and understanding of Tribal governments and of Native
Americans and how they relate to local government.
I was the Native American student representative for the Legal Education Opportunity Program at
Hasting College of the Law for 3 years. I was an Associate Professor that taught both a Federal Indian
Law and Ethnics Studies class for 4 years at Mendocino College. I served and was the Chair of the
Human Rights Committee for the California State Bar for 4 years. I served on the Tribal-State Court
Forum of the California Judicial Council for 10 years. I was a City Attorney for the City of Willits for 10
years. I was the Chief Judge of the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribal Court for 14 years. Finally, I have been a
Tribal Attorney for various Indian Tribes for 42 years.
I believe that my knowledge and experience gives me a unique perspective that will be of assistance to the
Committee in developing its Plan that will address the unique diversity issues confronting Indian Tribal
governments and Native Americans in the Ukiah community.

Diversity and Equity Application for Susan Stern
Susan Stern 17 December 2020
Ukiah, 95482
Employer: Ukiah Unified School District
Address: Oak Manor Elementary School, 400 Oak Manor Drive
Job title: Student Success Coordinator
Employed since October 2020
Resided in Ukiah as a permanent residence for 3 months.
Have spent 3 summers here previously.
Resided in Mendocino County for 3 months.
Also lived in California from 1984-1989 and 1990-2000
Organization/s: Ukiah Unified School District
Demographic group/s represented: primarily persons from the Hispanic/Latinx community
and people whose primary language is not English.
Also youth, Native American Tribes and persons with physical or mental disabilities.
My understanding is that the Diversity and Equity Committee will help the city of Ukiah to be a more
inclusive place to live and work by working with the mayor and city council members in an advisory
capacity. Rather than merely responding to existing issues around equity, diversity and inclusion, I hope
that the committee will strive to be proactive in future planning to help Ukiah benefit from an integrated
city where all people feel valued and included and people learn from and enjoy a wider variety of people.
In addition, as explained in the committee description, the committee will collaborate to write and adopt
objectives to improve diversity and equity in the City’s workforce. It would be my honor, delight and
responsibility to work with a diverse group of Ukiah residents in monthly meetings to assure equity for all
as well as adding to the quality of life that living in a diverse community can bring.
I am able to attend monthly meetings when the dates are known in advance.
I recently moved from Madison, Wisconsin where I lived and taught for the last 20 years. I also lived in
Oakland, California for over a decade. In both places I taught in diverse multilingual schools. Recently I
have helped plan for Black Lives Matter in Schools, and over the years have belonged and led various
anti-bias groups. I have received training from Welcoming Schools (The Human Rights Commission
program for gender inclusivity), The Madison Healing Racism Institute, city race discussions, and more. I
believe my experiences in listening to and collaborating with others to proactively make schools and
communities places where all people feel welcome will be an asset to the city of Ukiah.

Attachement
Diversity and Equity Application for Appointment;
Questions/ Answers items 1-4
1. What is my understanding of the purpose, role and responsiblllty of the Diversity and Equity
Committee?
A pledge to raise awareness and commitment to develop equity, diversity, and inclusion as core
components of the City of Ukiah work in service to the community and for the County of Mendocino
overall. To ensure that we have the best practices to work effectively with other team members,
customers and the community, to improve outcomes for community members, delivery culturally
responsive/responsible services and maintain successful partnerships with community organizations.
2. What is my understanding of/and ability to meet the responsibilities of committee members
in regard to meeting attendance?
If selected, I can and will attend regularly scheduled meeting. I will do my part to keep the goals,
mission and objectives of the committee realized by collaborating and pushing for meaningful and
timely action(s) that will lead to racially equitable and justice-oriented services to all communities
within our county.
3. How do you believe your own skills, experience, expertise and perspectives will be beneficial
to the work of the Diversity and Equity Committee?
I have lived, worked and raised a child here in Mendocino County. Over the past year, we have
witnessed horrific deaths. Though we have limited instances here in Mendocino County, I do not believe
we are immune to these tragedies. The tragic deaths of Breanna Taylor, Eric Gardner, George Floyd and
others have caused many people to unite in efforts to raise awareness and push for meaningful action
that will lead to equitable treatment for all communities. We too, must do our share by taking a stance
against racial inequities that are institutionalized and structural. Recently I collaborated with the BOS
and various law Enforcement agencies in establishing HHSA/ Public Safety Advisory Board to foster
communication and identify public concerns related to policing policies and procedures. The goal, the
incorporation of equity, inclusion and diversity into County organizational practices to guide our
resources in best serving our community in a culturally competent manner and to advocate for policies
that improve the health of our community.
4. Are there other City of Ukiah Committees/Commission In which you are interested and on
which you would be willing to serve 1
Yes: There are many. Someday, I will run for City Council.
In Appreciation,

Ukiah City Council
Subject: City Council Meeting February 17, 2021 Item 13 b. Consideration of Adoption of Resolution
Nominating and Appointing Members to the Equity and Diversity Standing Committee.
Dear Ukiah City Council:
I want to clarify the Equity and Diversity Standing Committee applicants' relation to the specific demographic
groups they are representing. Per the City Council Resolution 2020-59 Establishing Equity and Diversity Standing
Committee, applicants are not required to self-identify with the identified demographic groups. Instead,
applicants are eligible to represent the identified demographic groups based upon their membership in
committees or organizations representing those groups.
The applicants recommended for the Equity and Diversity Standing Committee each are a member of an
organization or committee representing the demographic group they would be appointed to represent. In staff’s
judgment they are eminently qualified to represent these demographic groups.
Thank you for considering their nomination and appointment to the Equity and Diversity Standing Committee.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at (707) 467-5720 or
tboyl@cityofukiah.com.
Sincerely,
Traci Boyl
Management Analyst to the City Manager’s Office
