ENCOURAGING ALL CITY RESIDENTS TO RECOGNIZE AND
CELEBRATE “INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ DAY” IN THE CITY OF UKIAH
WHEREAS, on October 6, 2021, the Ukiah City Council declared the second Monday in October each year
as Indigenous Peoples' Day in the City of Ukiah; and
WHEREAS, there are 12 federally recognized Indian tribes and Indian reservations, and two non-federally
recognized Tribes with land in Mendocino County; and
WHEREAS, in 1953, Congress enacted House Concurrent Resolution 108, establishing the United States'
official policy towards American Indians and Indian Tribes to be one of "Termination"; and
WHEREAS, under this Termination Policy that the United States implemented between 1952 and 1970,
Indian Tribes and their reservations in Mendocino County were abolished, Indian children were forcibly
removed to government-run boarding schools; Indian children were removed from their homes and placed
for adoption with non-Indian families; and Indian adults were relocated and forcibly assimilated into major
cities under government relocation programs, all of which were designed to destroy the Tribes and the
Indian's traditional way of life; and
WHEREAS, in 1970, the United States' Indian policy of termination was repudiated, and the United States
adopted an official policy of promoting self-determination and self-government among the Indian Tribes; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the policy of self-determination, many of the terminated Tribes in Mendocino
County were restored to federal recognition, reconstituted their tribal governments, and now govern
themselves on their reservations under their tribal laws; and
WHEREAS, many Native Americans, including tribal citizens of the Tribes located in Mendocino County,
live, work, and visit the city of Ukiah; and
WHEREAS, the Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Indigenous People of the
United States have all made valuable contributions with their vibrant and diverse culture; and
WHEREAS, the contributions that Indigenous peoples have made throughout history in public and military
service, business, education, the arts, and countless other fields have enriched and diversified our Nation and
community; and
WHEREAS, the Indigenous peoples of this Nation have and continue to serve in the United States Arm
Forces with distinction and honor – at one of the highest rates of any other group – defending the cause of
liberty and freedom; and
WHEREAS, the Indigenous Tribes of Mendocino County are sovereign governments that govern themselves
on their respective reservations under their tribal laws and carry on government-to-government relations
with the United States, the State of California, the County of Mendocino and when necessary, the City of
Ukiah; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to work cooperatively with the Tribal governments of Mendocino County to
ensure that essential governmental services are provided to all persons who live, work, and visit the city of
Ukiah.
NOW, THEREFORE, in this spirit of governmental cooperation and to promote diversity, the City Council
encourages all residents to recognize and celebrate the contributions made by the Indigenous Peoples of the
Nation, particularly those residing, working, and visiting Ukiah on this proclaimed Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Signed and sealed, this 4th day of October in the year Two Thousand and Twenty-Three.

SUBJECT: Council to Receive Presentation on the Ukiah Valley Golf Course 2023/2024 Capital Improvement
Plan.

Summary: Council to receive a presentation on the Ukiah Valley Golf Course 2023/2024 Capital Improvement
Plan.
Background: The Ukiah Valley Golf Course is operated under a Lease Agreement between the City of Ukiah
(City) and Tayman Park Golf Group, Inc. (TPGG). The Ukiah Mens Golf Club (UMGC) operates a cart barn
under a Lease Agreement with the City. Under these two leases, TPGG and the UMGC committed to making
annual capital improvements to the course under a capital improvement plan (CIP) in cooperation with the
City. CIP funding is provided by TPGG and the UMGC through these lease agreements. Currently, by prior
written agreement with the City, because TPGG made a substantial capital investment in the City-owned
clubhouse, TPGG remains partially excused from contributing to the CIP, but resumes contributions in January
of 2024. It should be noted that TPGG is still participating in CIP projects above and beyond their required
contribution amounts. The City does not contribute financially to the CIP.
The contribution to the CIP fund is normally $40,000 annually from TPGG and approximately $20,000 annually
from UMGC, depending upon earnings from cart-barn revenues and sign advertisements. The CIP fund is
maintained independent of the City at the Savings Bank of Mendocino County.
The lease agreement outlines a protocol for prioritizing and funding capital improvements. The protocol calls
for an Advisory Team with three representatives, from the UMGC, TPGG, and the City to compose and agree
on a plan for the annual course improvements. This Advisory Team met, discussed and approved the final
plan. The final plan is now reported to the Council to assure continued transparency and public review of the
operation of this community asset.
Discussion: This UVGC provides an outdoor recreational place for all ages and provides fundraising
opportunities for our community through the numerous tournaments hosted on the property. Additionally,
TPGG has continued to provide food and beverage service to our community with the ‘Slush by the Park’
menu. This is an attraction for both golfers and non-golfers alike.
In addition to providing a safe recreational outlet, it is important to remember that the Ukiah Valley Golf Course
provides open space habitat and a level of protection from fire threats from the western hills. The golf course’s
large irrigated, green, and trimmed open space creates a fire protection zone buffer between the western hills
and the adjacent western Ukiah residential neighborhoods. In this time of heightened fire safety awareness
and preparation, the Ukiah Valley Golf Course stands out as a significant and perhaps unrecognized fire
Page 13 of 296
Page 2 of 2
protection tool benefiting the residents of Ukiah.
Once Phase 4 of the Recycled Water Project is completed in the Todd Grove Recreation Area, the second
source of water will be important for both reducing the impact the greenspaces make on our potable water use
but also, and perhaps most importantly, the purple pipe water offers a secondary water source to fight fires.
The UVFA Chief has evaluated locations for hydrants to offer an additional level of protection to our
community.
The success of the golf course relies on all three of its partners, but the UMGC deserves to be recognized for
their exceptional efforts. The course also benefits from the support of the Women’s Golf Club, and we are
grateful for their contributions.
The attached 2023/2024 CIP plan (attachment #1) outlines proposed CIP projects in three sections.
A. Capital Improvement Projects Completed
B. Projects Identified in Prior Years rolling over
C. New Projects added
Within the plan, each project identifies the Fiscal Year in which the project was first listed as a priority and
added to the plan project list. Completed projects will note the organization that funded and completed the
project. Inclusion of a project in the plan does not mean that funding is currently available to complete the
project.
The partnership between the City, TPGG, and the UMGC is strong and productive, with all three parties
working together towards the common goal of creating and maintaining the best municipal golf course possible
for our community.
Thank you for receiving this report, as provided by the Advisory Team, of the 2023/2024 Capital Improvement
Plan.
Please refer to Attachment #2 to access the power point presentation that will accompany this report to
Council.
Recommended Action: Receive presentation on the Ukiah Valley Golf Course 2023/2024 Capital

Golf Course Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)
The golf course is for the use and enjoyment of the public and all its patrons. In order that the
public can be given the best possible golfing experience, the golf course must be open to
constructive feedback. All CIP planning and decisions must be analyzed for their short and
long term effect.
Tayman Park Golf Group and the Ukiah Men’s Golf Club maintain separate bank accounts as
required under their respective amended leases to fund projects for the Ukiah Valley Golf
Course under the Council approved Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The Ukiah Valley Golf
Course’s Capital Improvement Planning process is managed and controlled by an Advisory
Team comprised of three representatives, one each from the Ukiah Men’s Golf Club, the Golf
Professional, and the City of Ukiah. The Advisory Team prepared Capital Improvement Plan
is submitted annually for review and approval by the Ukiah City Council at a public City
Council Meeting.
The Capital Improvement Plan is not an operational plan of the golf course, but is limited to
capital improvement planning only.
Part A. - Capital Improvement Completed in FY2022/2023:
UKIAH MENS GOLF CLUB PROJECTS:
The substantial number of Projects completed solely by the Ukiah Men’s Golf Club in this
past year were funded both through net cart barn rents, as well as a significant number of
projects that were funded by the very generous cash, time and materials contributions of
various UMGC members in excess of what was required by their CIP commitment.
TEE #5-UPPER (FY21/22): The fence and retaining wall on last year’s list were completed.
The back of the tee will be raised and new turf will be installed. WORK COMPLETED IN
SPRING 2023 which also included a heavy chain along the east side of the tee.
Page 16 of 296
HOLE #11: Construct a tee box that is raised above the fairway where the white tees are
located. The new tee box construction started in July, 2023 and extends from the blue
tees to the concrete lid in the fairway. Reduce the size of the sand trap in front of the green
where it extends past the green. Consider removal of the sand trap behind the green or
rebuild it so it holds sufficient sand.
BOTH BRIDGES ON THE BACK NINE(FY21/22): Inspect decking and replace as needed.
Hole #17(FY21/22): Complete post and heavy chain project adjacent to the cart path near

JOINT PROJECTS; UKIAH MENS GOLF CLUB/ TAYMAN PARK GOLF GROUP:
None noted however the contractor for the new fresh water tank repaved the cart path
between holes #4 and #6 and added short cut offs in two locations in 2022.
TAYMAN PARK GOLF GROUP PROJECTS:
It should be noted, that Tayman Park Golf Group completed the following projects,
which were not required by their CIP commitment, using their own funds in excess of
what was required.
Electric small tools; as we transition from gas to electric equipment, purchase o f small
tools. Blowers, trimmers and push mowers.
Hole #2; Reshaped the edges of both traps adjacent to the green to eliminate the lips where
balls can get trapped underneath.
Hole #14; Same work as #2 but in addition reduced overall size of the trap.
Hole #16; Reshaped the edge of the sand trap adjacent to the green.
Sand Fairways; COMPLETED AND ONGOING/Tayman Park Golf Group
Improved fairways are important to retain players. Sand application over time, improves
conditions and playability. Other benefits include a reduction in earthworm castings,
improved rooting, earlier spring green- up and reduction in water use. The primary reason
fairway topdressing programs are implemented is to firm the surfaces, improved
playability and minimize course closure following heavy and prolonged rains.
Sand Trap Reshaping; COMPLETED AND ONGOING/Tayman Park Golf Group
Tayman Park Golf Group’s maintenance crew has taken over the reshaping of the edges and
lips of the sand traps.
Fairway Seeding; COMPLETED AND ONGOING/Tayman Park Golf Group
Improvements will include a new drought tolerant grass, sand usage and wetting agents.
The new grass will consist of 4 different grass types for deeper root growth and better
playing surface. This blend has been proven to perform well in high heat and less water
areas. The continued fairway resurfacing will show all players that the Ukiah Valley Golf
Course is a viable recreation area worthy of their spending dollars. It’s not enough in this
difficult environment to just have a course, you must show the willingness to spend money and
improve your product. Our fairways continue to improve in appearance and playability.

Ukiah Valley Golf Course
A Community Resource
TPGG provides food and beverage
service to our community.
The ‘Slush by the Park’ menu has
proven to be an attraction to golfers
and non‐golfers alike.
The clubhouse is available to rent and
hosts many gatherings.
Page 35 of 296

Fire Buffer Zone and Recycled Water
In addition to providing a safe recreational outlet the
Ukiah Valley Golf Course provides a level of protection and firefighting space to protect the
City of Ukiah from fire threats from the western hills. The golf course’s large green space
creates a fire protection zone, or buffer between the western hills and the adjacent
western Ukiah residential neighborhoods.
Recycled Water ‐as part of the grant funded project the use of recycled water is getting
close to the Todd Grove Recreation Area. Pipe for the distribution system is going in the
ground and already installed through the golf course. This second source of water is
important for both reducing the impact the greenspaces make on our potable water use
but also, and perhaps most importantly, the purple pipe water offers a secondary water
source to fight fires. The UVFA Chief has evaluated locations for hydrants to offer an
additional level of protection to our community.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of Reclassification of Customer Service Representative Position to Community
Development Technician I/II Position for the Community Development Department.
DEPARTMENT: Community
Development PREPARED BY: Craig Schlatter, Community Development Director
PRESENTER: Consent Calendar

Summary: Council will consider approving a reclassification of a Customer Service Representative position to
a Community Development Technician I/II in the Community Development Department.
Background: The Community Development Department is responsible for services in the following seven
divisions: Planning, Building, Code Enforcement, Fire Prevention, Housing, Grants Management, and as of
September 1, 2023, Business Licensing. Staffing within the Department currently consists of the Director,
Chief Planning Manager, Chief Building Official, Planning Manager, Housing and Grants Manager, Building
Inspector, Fire Inspector, Management Analyst (Grants), Code Enforcement Inspector, Community
Development Technician, and a Customer Service Representative.
Prior to 2018, the Department was a more traditional planning and building services department performing
planning services and building inspection services with, historically, a smaller team of the Director, two
planning professionals, a building inspector/official, two administrative support positions, and an on-call
building inspection consultant. Over the last five years, and due to such changes as increased State and
federal funding, expanded advanced planning and annexation efforts, the need for integrated community
development services to nimbly and proactively respond to major issues like the housing crisis and climate
mitigation and adaptation, and deployment of participatory planning processes to better engage with a
diversifying population, divisions have been added to the Department to increase its functionality- Housing
Division in 2018, Code Enforcement in 2020, Grants Management in 2021, and Fire Prevention in 2022. As
funding has been identified, Council has authorized the staffing to perform services in each of the new
divisions.
With the transitioning of the Business Licensing Division to Community Development on September 1, 2023,
the Customer Service Representative (CSR) position was transitioned from the Finance Department to the
Community Development Department. Although this CSR position was the principal City staff person assigned
by Finance to business licensing services, the position also assisted with utility billing administrative
responsibilities. While the functional position and responsibilities for licensing will transition to the Community
Development Department, the Director of Finance will maintain ultimate oversight for the collection activities
per City Code.
Discussion: Since the transition, Staff has been performing an analysis of the work of the Customer Service
Representative (CSR) and how the position interacts with other divisions of the Department. In comparing the job
description of the CSR to that of the Community Development Technician (CDT) I/II, Staff found the two positions
similar, except that the Community Development Technician's responsibilities are more broad, reflecting the
Page 108 of 296
Page 2 of 2
collaborative and cross-divisional work of the Department's seven divisions. Staff in all divisions of the Department
are expected to fully integrate with and support the work of their fellow team members, especially in support of the
public counter and overall customer service responsibilities.
Staff is thus proposing reclassifying the Customer Service Representative to a second Community Development
Technician I/II. Staff is also proposing minor changes to the existing CDT position to reflect the business licensing
division responsibilities. Having two CDTs will enable more consistent and responsive customer service, as each
CDT will specialize in a major permitting area of the Department but also support and "back up" the other CDT team
member. See Attachment 1 for a "marked up" version of the updated CDT job description and Attachment 2 for a
"clean" version of the revised description.
Staff requests Council approve the reclassification of the Customer Service Representative to Community
Development Technician I/II for the Community Development Department. A budget amendment is requested as
the funds paying for the position are changing pro rata with the transition date.
Recommended Action: Approve the reclassification of the Customer Service Representative position in the
Community Development Department to a Community Development Technician I/II.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: Yes. Position is budgeted but the funds paying for it are changing.

ATTACHMENTS:
1. 1920194 - Systems Design West - Professional Services Agreement
Summary: The City Council will receive a report on the Ukiah Valley Fire Authority's (UVFA) Professional
Services Agreement (PSA) for ambulance billing services and ratify the existing contract to approve the annual
compensation amount.
Background: The Ukiah Valley Fire Authority (UVFA) has maintained a Professional Services Agreement
(PSA) with Systems Design West of Poulsbo, Washington for ambulance billing services since 2019.
Discussion: SDW was selected due to their extensive experience with public agency ambulance providers,
and their flat rate fee structure. Using a flat rate fee structure allows the UVFA to include those fees in various
cost reports to other government agencies such as Medicare and Medi-Cal.
Per the PSA, UVFA is charged a flat fee per run billed each month. Since the inception of the agreement, our
total amount paid out to date has now reached $47,232.39, triggering this report to the Council. Staff
recommends Council ratify the annual contract amount as variable requiring no further Council reports or
actions unless formally amended and/or results in the ambulance fund (710) exceeding the total annual
budget appropriation net of any associated revenues, per City budget policy. The amount paid under this
contract is based on a per transport flat rate with volume discounts (Section 2 of the attached contract). The
contract is attached here as Attachment 1.

1. Spec 22-09 Notice of Completion Coastal Mountain Electric
Summary: Council will consider approving the Notice of Completion for the Gobbi Street Electric Service
Overhead to Underground Conversion, Specification 22-09, and consider approving the final payment of the
5% retention to James Day Construction, DBA Coastal Mountain Electric.
Background: The Gobbi Street Underground Project installed underground infrastructure for electric,
telephone and cable TV on Gobbi Street between State Street and Orchard Avenue. City Electric crews
installed equipment and conductors in preparation of the cutover at each business and residence within the
Gobbi Street project area. The overhead to underground conversion requires the services of a qualified
electrician to make the appropriate modifications to each building to accept the underground service. Electric
Utility Staff designed and prepared the scope of work and drawings to solicit a bid from qualified electricians.
Discussion: On January 11, 2023, Council awarded the contract for the Gobbi Street Electric Service
Overhead to Underground Conversion to James Day Construction, dba Coastal Mountain Electric. The
contracted work was completed by the contractor in conformance with the approved plans and specifications
on September 25, 2023, after a delay due to supply chain issues. The original contract amount, based on
estimated quantities, was $113,271.10. Actual quantities and change orders resulted in a revised total
contract amount of $113,671.27. The 5% retention payment will be made to the contractor after 35 days from
the date of the Notice of Completion (Attachment 1) is filed with the County Recorder.
Recommended Action: Approve Notice of Completion for the Gobbi Street Electric Service Overhead to
Underground Conversion, Specification 22-09, and approve the final payment of the 5% retention to James
Day Construction, DBA Coastal Mountain Electric, and direct the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion
with the County Recorder.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Possible Introduction of an Ordinance by Title Only Amending Various Sections of Ukiah City
Code to Update the City’s Existing Objective Design and Development Standards for New Multi-Family
Residential Construction; and Approval of the Planning Commission's Finding that the Ordinance is
Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

2. Objective Design and Development Standards - Proposed Amendment (Clean)_10.4.23
3. Planning Commission Resolution (PC 2023-03)
4. 12a Presentation give at meeting
Summary: Objective design standards are a powerful tool that allow communities to ensure that new
development is compatible with the City’s vision and approach to the built environment. Under State law they
are defined as “standards that involve no personal or subjective judgement by a public official and are
uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by
both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal” (California Government
Code, Section 65913.4).
If approved, this ordinance amendment would make minor modifications to Ukiah City Code Chapter 2, Article
5.2, Sections 9055 - 9055.2 to incorporate general plan objectives, clarify existing regulations such as parking
standards, and allow for development flexibility, as necessitated by site or building constraints. These
modifications would further the City’s efforts to reduce housing costs and streamline the entitlement process to
encourage infill multi-family and mixed-use development projects that align with the City's recently adopted
2040 General Plan.
Background: In 2019, SB 2 Planning Grant Program funds were awarded to the City of Ukiah by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) through Standard Agreement #19-PGP13298.
These funds were awarded to facilitate and streamline the production of housing within the City. One of the
resulting updates to Ukiah City Code was the creation of objective development and design standards. The
current objective standards were adopted by the Design Review Board on June 25, 2020, further reviewed
and amended by the Planning Commission on August 12, 2020, and adopted by the City Council on March 17,
2021.
In 2022, the City received an application for mixed-use development (Acorn Valley Plaza) at the intersection of
East Gobbi Street and Village Circle that utilized these design and development standards. City Staff worked
closely with the applicant to ensure that their multi-building proposal aligned with the adopted standards and
subsequently approved the request in coordination with the Building Inspection Division on December 12,
2022. By applying the Objective Design & Development Standards to an actual project, Planning Division Staff
was afforded an opportunity to evaluate this process, and identify amendments to improve these regulations
for future projects.
Page 129 of 296
Page 2 of 4
On July 27, 2023, after receiving feedback and incorporating suggested changes, the Design Review Board
recommended that the requested Ordinance Amendment (Attachment 1 & 2) be progressed to the City's
Planning Commission. Subsequently, on September 13, 2023, the Planning Commission unanimously
approved the associated resolution (Attachment 3) recommending that the Ukiah City Council adopt the
requested Ordinance Amenement.
Notably, for this ordinance amendment, Planning Division Staff is utilizing funds from a previously awarded
Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grant (#20-LEAP-15456) to prepare and adopt this amendment, thereby
reducing costs to the City of Ukiah while progressing policies and regulations that facilitate new infill housing.
Discussion: The purpose of updating the City’s previously objective design and development standards is to:
• Utiilize awarded LEAP funds to further streamline housing production;
• Update the City’s ministerial review processes for qualified multi-family housing and mixed-use
projects;
• Incorporate lessons learned from Acorn Valley Plaza, as well as input from local architects and the
Design Review Board related to the existing objective design and development standards;
• Provide a set of clear criteria to guide future development within the city-limits and serve as a model for
other jurisdictions within Mendocino County; and
As described below, Planning Division Staff propose the following amendments to incorporate general plan
objectives, clarify existing regulations such as parking standards, and allow for development flexibility, as
necessitated by site or building constraints:
§9055 Purpose and Intent: Duplexes: Clarify that ‘Duplexes’ are not subject to Article 5.2 by inserting an
explicit exclusion, like the one already provided for single-family homes. While SB 9 allows for the application
of “objective design review standards” on this type of residential unit, it is suggested that this form of housing
be further streamlined within Ukiah City Code to address ‘Missing Middle’ considerations and further housing
stock diversity. It is understood that numerous neighborhoods within Ukiah already feature ‘Duplexes’
interspersed among single-family residences.
At a later date, to ensure this update is applied consistently, Staff will need to update individual articles of
Chapter 2 (Zoning) to ensure that ‘Duplex’ is separated from Article 5.2 and identified as a stand-alone use
regulated as ‘Allowed’ or ‘Permitted’ depending on the associated zoning district.
§9055.1 (H): HVAC Systems: Clarify that HVAC Units can also be placed on the ground, but subject to
setback and screening requirements that are subsequently conveyed in Article 5.2. This clarification is to
ensure that smaller ground-mount HVAC systems, such as ‘Ductless Mini-Splits’ are allowed by-right and
removes confusion that HVAC systems can only be roof-mounted. The DRB requested that this provision be
further modified to ensure that the HVAC system is not visible from the public right of way, meets the required
setbacks and is obscured by fencing or landscaping as described in UCC Section 9055.2(H) Screening.
§9055.1 (I): Mail and Package Delivery Location: The existing regulation requires that mailboxes be in
locations visible to residents from the interior of structure entrances, which creates design limitations for multi-
structure developments, as well as operational challenges for mail delivery, and limits community interactions
created by more centralized mail delivery locations. The update will encourage more centrally placed
mailboxes and package areas.
§9055.1 (K): Open-Space: Increase the allowances for community gardening opportunities by allowing for
community gardens to constitute a percentage of the required 15% public open space. Also, as identified in
the 2040 General Plan (AG Element Action Item – F), allow for ‘Foodscaping’, which is the integration of edible
plants into ornamental landscapes. This update will allow and suggest ‘Foodscaping’ as a design and open-
Page 130 of 296
Page 3 of 4
space consideration. The DRB approved this consideration, but included aspects to ensure that Community
Gardens are regularly maintained and feature a management plan in conformance with Ukiah City Code
Section 9173.2.
§9055.1 (N): Bicycle Parking: Adds additional language to prioritize the need for bicycle parking and provides
acceptable guidelines to inform best practices.
§9055.1 (O)(1)(b)(1-4): Parking Lot Landscaping: Eliminates the distinction between parking areas and
parking lots. Clarifies how spaces should be counted between every four (4) parking stalls to accommodate
aspects like ADA parking aisles, electric vehicle charging, etc. Proposed changes also specify the constraints
that would make fulfilling §9055.1 (O)(1)(b)(1) infeasible, particularly mature trees or similar topographical
constraints, such as creeks or embankments.
§9055.1 (O)(2)(a): Required Parking: Remove the ‘Guest Parking’ requirement, as the assigned ratio
becomes onerous for larger in-fill development proposals and works against the parking exemptions or
reductions identified in other sections of Ukiah City Code, such as UCC 9198(A)(7-9).These additional parking
spaces increase the total cost of the development, and cumulatively take up more surface area than the
building(s) themselves and compete against more desirable on-site land-uses, such as landscaping, additional
residential units, or recreational space. Additionally, the 'Guest Parking' requirement reduces the ability
of 'Moderate' or 'Above-Moderate' multi-family developments to utilize the Objective Design and Development
Standards, as they are not able to utilize the parking exemptions available for affordable housing
developments.
The DRB was unable to reach consensus on this item and deferred to the Planning Commission for their
recommendation to the City Council. At the DRB hearing on July 27, 2023, a reduction, rather than elimination
of this modification, was considered, but a decision was ultimately deferred to the Planning Commission. Staff
recommended that the ‘Guest Parking’ be eliminated and that the developer determine the need for additional
parking. This recommendation was affirmed by the Planning Commission, which voted to remove the 'Guest
Parking' Requirement.
§9055.1 (O)(2)(a): Parking Code: Article 17 is more onerous than the zoning standards of the R3, C1, or C2
zoning districts. UCC Section 9198(A)(3) requires one parking space for one-bedroom units; two (2) parking
spaces for two (2) or more bedrooms per unit.
Within the R-3, C-1 and C-2 zoning districts, however, multi-family units only require: One (1) on-site parking
space per unit. This clean-up item is required, as the existing regulation creates confusion as to the assigned
parking requirements for multi-family housing.
§9055.1(O)(2)(b): Mixed-Use Parking: The current iteration of the objective design and development
standards do not clarify what parking standards should be applied for mixed-use development projects. It is
suggested that this clarification be inserted.
§9055.1(P)(6): Outdoor Lighting: At the request of the DRB, this requirement was modified to provide a
specific reference to Dark Sky Standards of the International Dark Sky Association in conjunction with
reducing glare and light pollution.
§9055.2(C)(4-5) Fences and Walls: This amendment adds an exception that certain recreation and garden
improvements be allowed to use otherwise prohibited fence types.
§9055.2(K)(4)(a): Heavy Timber: Concerns were conveyed from the architectural community that this existing
language could be construed to prevent designs similar to the Sun-House, or use of materials like Cross
Laminated Timber. The amendment removes “heavy-timber” considerations, but leaves “exposed-logs” as
prohibited.

PLAZA
The proposed development, Acorn
Valley Plaza, has been designed to
fit within the context of an
existing, developed neighborhood,
south of the primary commercial
center of the community and
contiguous to a public transit
route for the regional bus system
along Gobbi Street, a primary,
east-west collector arterial.
The project, as designed, includes
seventy-one (71) residential units
with a manager’s unit, Common
Area amenities and a small mixed-
use component facing to the
north, onto the commercial
pathway that is Gobbi Street.
The project was the first in the
City of Ukiah to utilize Objective
Design & Development Standards
to facilitate a ministerial approval.

§9055.1 (O)(2)(a): Required Parking: Remove the ‘Guest Parking’ requirement
•The assigned ratio becomes onerous for larger in-fill development proposals
and works against the parking exemptions or reductions identified in other
sections of Ukiah City Code, such as UCC 9198(A)(7-9). It also restricts
developments that are market rate or above-moderate.
§9055.1 (O)(2)(a): Parking Code: Article 17 is more onerous than the current
zoning standards across districts. Article 17 requires 2 spaces for units with 2 or
3 Bedrooms, while the C-1, C-2 & R-3 Zoning Districts require just one on-site
parking space per unit regardless of bedrooms.

§9055.1(O)(2)(b): Mixed-Use Parking: The current iteration of the objective design
and development standards do not clarify what parking standards should be applied
for mixed-use development projects, or if mixed-use parking reductions are
appropriate.
§9055.1(P)(6): Outdoor Lighting: At the request of the DRB, this requirement was
modified to provide a specific reference to Dark Sky Standards of the International
Dark Sky Association in conjunction with reducing glare and light pollution.
§9055.2(C)(4-5) Fences and Walls: This amendment adds an exception that certain
recreation and garden improvements be allowed to use otherwise prohibited fence
types.
§9055.2(K)(4)(a): Heavy Timber: Concerns have been conveyed from the
architectural community that the existing language could be construed as to prevent
designs like the Sun-House, or use of materials like Cross Laminated Timber. The
amendment removes “heavy-timber” considerations but continues to prohibit
“exposed-logs.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Status Report of the Emergency Contract with West Coast Fire & Water for Fire Remediation
Work at the Electric Utility Service Center at Hastings.
DEPARTMENT: Electric Utility PREPARED BY: Cindy Sauers, Electric Utility Director
PRESENTER: Sage Sangiacomo, City Manager
ATTACHMENTS:
1. West Coast Fire Water - Hastings Fire Remediation Work - 2223-177
Summary: The Council will receive a status report of the emergency contract with West Coast Fire & Water
for fire remediation work at the Electric Utility Service Center at Hastings, and will consider approving the
work to continue under the emergency contract.
Background: The Ukiah City Council approved the purchase of 2.8 acres with a 15,800 sq. ft. building located
at 1350 Hastings Rd (The Electric Service Center) to house the Electric Utility Department’s operations. The
Electric Service Center will centralize electric operations for Engineering, Construction and Technical
Services. In addition, the Department intends to use the Electric Service Center for training, material
warehousing and construction preparation.
On August 5, 2020, the City Council adopted the plans and specifications for the grading, fencing, roofing and
electric equipment relocation. This work was completed on March 2, 2023.
On the morning of March 8, 2023, a fire broke out at the Electric Utility Department's Service Center located at
1350 Hastings Road. The source of the fire was the electrical failure of a bathroom ceiling fan. The Ukiah
Valley Fire Authority responded to the incident, and was successful in putting the fire out. However, significant
smoke and water damage occurred, as well as structural damage to the building.
West Coast Fire and Water was contacted and was able to respond in a timely manner to assess the fire,
smoke and water damage. They were able to secure the building and cover exposed areas to prevent
additional water intrusion from the impending precipitation. The City Purchasing, Risk Management, and
Electric Departments worked with McLarens, the Claims Adjuster for the City's self-insured liability Program
through its membership in the California Intergovernmental Risk Authority (CIRA), and West Coast Water and
Fire to develop a Scope of Work and Contract for the remediation of the fire, water, and smoke
damage. Please see Attachment 1 for a copy of the agreement.
There are no expected costs to the City at the time, as the City opted to review all invoices and provide
authority to McLarens to pay West Coast directly. The City, however, executed a contract with West Coast
Fire and Water to complete the Scope of Work.
The initial cost estimate for this remediation was over $200,000. The scope of work that is being performed
under this contract falls under the definition of "public project", as it involves demolition and repair
work involving a publicly owned facility. The City Manager, under his authority, authorized proceeding with
the work as an emergency, since the event was sudden and unexpected, and required immediate action for
the protection of City (public) property. Due to structural issues, and immediate mold growth, time was of the
Page 183 of 296
Page 2 of 2
essence, and bidding for this work as per the normal requirements of the California Uniform Cost Accounting
Act, was not an option. Under these circumstances, public bidding is excused. At their Council meeting on
April 5, 2023, the Council initially received the report regarding this contract, and approved by a four-fifths vote
for the work to continue under these emergency circumstances.
Discussion: As of Friday, April 7, 2023, the remediation work on the structure was completed. After two
rounds of cleaning the electronics, all items have been returned and appear to be in working order. The City
has a two-year warranty period should there be additional issues with the equipment. As part of the
assessment of damages, McLarens required an independent estimate of damage to restore the building to
pre-fire condition. This was required to evaluate the estimate provided by the City's structural engineering
consultant and architect. On September 5, 2023, the City received an estimate of $471,488.51 for the building
repairs. This estimate does not include the cost of the remediation performed by West Coast Fire and Water,
electronics cleaning, or reimbursement for the contents of the building. Staff will continue to work with West
Coast Fire and Water and the insurance provider to wrap up these items.
Staff is requesting the Council's approval to continue using the emergency contract.
Recommended Action: Receive a status report, and approve the continued work on the emergency contract
with West Coast Fire & Water for Fire Remediation Work at the Electric Utility Service Center at Hastings.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 4.1 to Division 5 of the Ukiah City Code to Establish
Organic Waste Disposal Regulation and Enforcement Requirements per Senate Bill 1383, Short-Lived Climate
Pollutants.

Summary: Council will consider adopting an ordinance amending Chapter 4.1 to Division 5 of the Ukiah City
Code to establish organic waste disposal regulation and enforcement requirements per Senate Bill 1383, Short-
Lived Climate Pollutants.
Background: On February 16, 2022, the Ukiah City Council was presented with a Resolution to comply with
the regulatory requirements Senate Bill 1383, Short-Lived Climate Pollutants. On March 2, 2022, City Council
introduced an ordinance that provided regulation and enforcement tools to divert and reduce the amount of
short-lived climate pollutants. The March 2022 Ordinance is attached here as Attachment 1.
Discussion: SB 1383 requires the City to adopt an enforceable ordinance to compel city residents and
business owners to recycle their organic waste, comply with other requirements of the regulation. The
responsibility for the funding, administrative services and implementation of those goals are put upon the City.
Part of the requirements of SB1383 is to implement regulations regarding self-haulers. Self-haulers are
defined as someone who hauls solid waste, organic waste or recyclable material generated by another
person. A typical self-hauler would be a landscaper who collects green waste like lawn clippings, brush etc
from a customer's residence. The original ordinance adopted by the City did not address self-haulers
specifically. This amendment to the City Code would define self-haulers and establish regulations and
enforcement provisions applicable to self-haulers. See Attachments 2 and 3 for complete revisions, in
redlined and clean versions.
Council introduced this ordinance by title only at its September 20, 2023, meeting; however, the full Council
was not present, so this item is being placed on Unfinished Business as opposed to the Consent Calendar for
this final step in the approval/consideration process.
Recommended Action: Adopt the Ordinance amending Chapter 4.1 to Division 5 of the Ukiah City Code to
establish organic waste disposal regulation and enforcement requirements per Senate Bill 1383, Short-Lived
Climate Pollutants.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Direction Regarding Distribution of Opioid Settlement Funds Allocated to the City of Ukiah.
DEPARTMENT: City Manager /
Admin PREPARED BY: Shannon Riley, Deputy City Manager
PRESENTER: Shannon Riley, Deputy City Manager
ATTACHMENTS:
None
Summary: The City Council is asked to provide direction regarding the deployment of the City of Ukiah's
allocation of opioid settlement funds.
Background: In accordance with the state Allocation Agreements, the City of Ukiah has the potential to
receive up to $488,000 in opioid settlement funds over the course of 18 years. These funds are earmarked for
specific purposes related to opioid remediation, including but not limited to substance abuse disorder facilities,
SUD treatment infrastructure, support for communities of color and vulnerable populations, diversion programs
from the justice system, and interventions to prevent drug addiction among vulnerable youth.
Discussion: The opioid crisis has had a significant and devastating impact on the Ukiah community. Given
the limited amount of funding allocated to the City and the urgency of addressing the opioid crisis, Staff
recommends that the City Council allocates the entire amount of the settlement funds, without deduction for
administration costs, toward the development and enhancement of substance abuse treatment facilities within
the city limits. The City's General Fund will fund the cost of all administrative and internal services related to
the use of settlement funds. This approach aligns directly with the intent of the Allocation Agreements and will
have a more sustainable, immediate and direct impact on addressing the opioid crisis in our
community. Allocating the settlement funds exclusively to substance abuse treatment infrastructure aligns
with the overarching goal of addressing the opioid epidemic and supporting those most affected. By not
deducting administration costs, the City can maximize the impact of these funds and ensure that they are
directed toward the front lines of the opioid crisis.
To streamline the allocation process and ensure timely implementation of initiatives, Staff recommends that
the City Council authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate potential allocations per this policy
objective for Council's consideration. This will facilitate a more efficient use of the funds and enable quicker
responses to emerging needs in the community. Further, it will expedite the implementation of projects, foster
innovation, and allow for a more agile response to evolving community needs.
Recommended Action: Allocate the entire amount of the opioid settlement funds, without deduction for
administration costs, toward the development and enhancement of substance abuse treatment facilities within
the city limits and authorize the City Manager or designee to negotiate potential allocations per this policy objective
for Council's consideration.

ATTACHMENTS:
1. Resolution No. 2017-52
Summary: The City Council will conduct the annual review of the Fee Schedule for the Ukiah Police
Department. No adjustments or increases are proposed at this time.

instead, fees are charged as an important means to recover costs incurred from specific services offered to
the public.
In 2017, The Ukiah Police Department performed a comprehensive review and revision of its fee schedule,
which resulted in the increase of Police Department fees associated with the following: Bike Licenses,
Concealed Weapons Permits, Clearance Letters, Live-Scan Fingerprinting, Photographs on CD, Secondhand
Dealer Permits, Taxi Permits, and Traffic Accident Reports. These fee increases were found to be necessary
to meet current and projected costs for providing services associated with the operation of the Ukiah Police
Department.
Other fees charged by the Police Department include a Stored Vehicle Administrative Fee, fees associated
with the Copy of Police Report, and Prints of Photographs, all of which are set by local resolution. Fees
associated with Civil Subpoena for Officer, Subpoena for Records, and Vehicle Repossession Release are set
by California law.
The aforementioned fees and revisions were reviewed again this year and found to be reasonable for the
types of services provided by the Ukiah Police Department, and were incorporated into the Ukiah Police
Department Fee Schedule (Attachment 1), which was passed and adopted by Council on November 1, 2017.
Discussion: As stated above, fees associated with Civil Subpoena for Officer, Subpoena for Records, and
Vehicle Repossession Release remain set by California law. The fees associated with Copy of Police Report
and Prints of Photographs are set by local resolution. Staff performed a review of the current laws and
resolution associated with these fees and determined that, at this time, no modification or changes exist and
that the current fees remain consistent with California law and local resolution.
Current operating costs and time demands on Staff and related salary costs were considered and
evaluated. Additionally, a local comparison of similar fees pertaining to those associated with Bike Licensing,
Concealed Weapons Permit, Clearance Letters, Live-Scan Fingerprinting, Photographs on CD, Second Hand
Dealer Licensing, Taxi Permits, Traffic Accident Reports, and Stored Vehicle was conducted.
Staff has reviewed the fees for specific services offered to the public to ensure cost recovery remains
Page 259 of 296
Page 2 of 2
sustainable, and is recommending no adjustments or increases to the fee schedule and is seeking Council’s
approval.
Recommended Action: Review and Approve No Changes to the Existing Fee Schedule for the Ukiah Police
Department.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Determination of Notification of Intent to Adjust Curbside Collection and Transfer Station Service
Rates.
DEPARTMENT: Finance PREPARED BY: Dan Buffalo, Finance Director, Sage Sangiacomo,
City Manager
PRESENTER: Sage Sangiacomo, City Manager; Daniel Buffalo,
Finance Director
ATTACHMENTS:

3. SWS_UWS 2023 TS Gate & collection rates VS NEIGHBORS
Summary: The City Council is asked to receive and review a determination from the City Manager of
proposed rates, as intended to be adjusted by Ukiah Waste Solutions, Inc. and Solid Waste Systems, Inc. for
curbside and Ukiah Transfer Station services, respectively. The proposed rate adjustments are, by contract,
allowed annually to address cost adjustments borne by the City's franchise solid waste contractor. Those
operating costs are limited and specifically identified by contract as pass-through or affected by inflation,
measured by the consumer price index (CPI-u).
Background: Pursuant to contracts between the City of Ukiah and Ukiah Waste Solutions, Inc., and City of
Ukiah and Solid Waste Systems, Inc. (collectively referred to herein as "Company"), notices of intent were
submitted to the City by Company on August 16, 2023, of adjustments to collection rates for residential and
commercial curbside service and rates for Ukiah Transfer Station services, effective January 1, 2024. These
notices are allowed by contract annually, and any subsequent adjustments to rates are applied to the next
calendar year, effective January 1. Corresponding notices are further detailed in the discussion section and
included as attachments to this report.
Discussion: As is required by contract, the City Manager reviewed the notices of intent. The Finance
Department was tasked to review the methodology used by Company to arrive at the proposed rate
adjustments to evaluate its conformity with the respective contracts. The elements of the proposed rate
adjustment are limited to pass-through costs, including changes to the consumer price index (CPI-u) for the
San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area. Specifically, the elements under review consist of the changes in cost
to the following:
Curbside collection costs:
-fuel
-abatement activities
-landfill disposal fees for garbage
-landfill disposal fees for mixed organic waste
-recycling processing costs
-operating costs affected by inflation (CPI-u)
Transfer Station costs:
-fuel
Page 262 of 296
Page 2 of 2
-disposal and processing costs of garbage and recycling
-property tax based on tonnage
-operating costs affected by inflation (CPI-u)
The determination by the Finance Department and subsequent report to the City Manager, after review and
testing of the information provided by the Company, is that the calculations and supporting documentation
used by the Company in the notices appear correct, reasonable, and are in compliance with the contracts
between Company and the City.
Based on the notices, the Company calculated curbside collection service cost increases and pass-throughs
of $632,981, which equates to an average of 11.33 percent increase to all residential and commercial
accounts. For transfer station services, cost increases and pass-throughs calculated by the Company equate
to $339,335, resulting in an increase in revenue requirements of 6.31 percent.
Summary calculations and supporting documentation for curbside and the transfer station provided by the
Company are attached here as Attachments 1 and 2 respectively. Also included for context as Attachment 3
is a curbside rate comparison for surrounding communities.
At this time, Council is asked to receive and review the intent of the Company, as per the provisions of its
respective contracts. Accordingly, by November 20, 2023, the City Council must complete its review of the
Company’s notices of intent and either confirm that the intention to adjust rates conforms to the provisions of
the contracts for curbside services and transfer station services or establish by mutual agreement with the
Company any necessary changes to the proposed rates so that it can make such confirmation. The City must
provide customers notice of proposed rate adjustments for curbside collection and transfer station services by
December 1, 2023.
As this is a regular matter and a contractual requirement, the recommendation is for Council to receive,
review, and confirm the determination of the City Manager that the proposed rate adjustment comply with the
agreed upon terms of the contracts. The next available regular City Council meeting before the November 20th
confirmation deadline is scheduled for November 15, 2023. Staff can bring this item back to Council with this for
further consideration, if deemed necessary.
Recommended Action: Confirm the determination of the City Manager of compliance with the provisions of
the agreements between the City of Ukiah and Ukiah Waste Solutions, Inc. and Solid Waste Systems, Inc.
regarding the company's notice of intent to adjust curbside collection and transfer station rates.

ATTACHMENTS:
1. City Council Special Assignments rev 8-4-23
Summary: City Council members will provide reports and updates on their committee and ad hoc
assignments. If necessary, the Council may consider modifications.
Background: City Council members are assigned to a number of committees and ad hoc activities. These
assignments are included as Attachment 1.
Discussion: Previously, the City Council discussed having more time allocated to reporting on committee and
ad hoc activities. Often, the Council Reports section of the regular agenda is rushed due to impending
business (i.e., public hearings), and not enough time is afforded for reports beyond community activities.
In an effort to foster regular updates on committee and ad hoc assignments, this item is being placed on the
agenda to provide the City Council members an expanded opportunity to report on assignments and modify
assignments as necessary.
Recommended Action: Receive report(s). The Council will consider modifications to committee and ad hoc
assignments along with the creation/elimination ad hoc(s).
