AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Status Report on Emergency Contract with Diamond D Construction, LLC for the Emergency
Repair of the Western Hills Mudslide at the City Water Tank (Pressure Zone 1-North, or PZ1-N) and Request
for Authorization to Continue Work Under This Emergency Contract.
DEPARTMENT: Water Resources PREPARED BY: Sean White, Water Resources Director

4. Slide Pictures
Summary: Council will receive a status report on the contract with Diamond D Construction for the emergency
repair of the Western Hills mudslide at the City water tank and consider approving continued work.
Background: During the major rain event on February 4-5, a mudslide occurred in the western hills, settling at
the base of a City water tank referred to at Pressure Zone 1-North (PZ1-N). Due to the muddy conditions,
slope of the hillside, and specialized nature of the repairs, City crews determined that a professional contractor
would be required to perform the work. Additionally, significant rain was forecast for the following days,
causing concern that the water tank and hillside would potentially be compromised if emergency repairs did
not commence immediately.
On February 19, 2025, City Council approved a Resolution approving the procurement without public bidding
of construction services to repair the mudslide at the City water tank in the western hills (Attachment 1).
Discussion: Staff worked with the Procurement Department to assess availability and obtain proposals from
local contractors. Diamond D Construction was available to begin immediately and was determined to be
qualified to do the work (Attachments 2 and 3).
Work to temporarily remediate the site began on February 7th and was completed on February 12th. Work
involved removing material at the toe of the slope that had built up against the tank and removing material
perched immediately above the tank. Due to the extremely wet condition of the site, only material within the
reach of an excavator could be graded or removed. A small ditch was also cut in the hillside above the tank to
redirect runoff.
The slide area was then tarped to protect it from rainfall. City Staff also added jute netting to other portions of
the site to further protect the hillside. See Attachment 4 for pictures of remediation efforts.
Once the area has dried further grading will be required. No further work beyond the initial site remidation has
been able to be performed.
To fully stabilize, this site will require a geotechnical investigation and plan, followed by extensive eathwork.

Staff is requesting the Council's approval to continue using the emergency contract with Diamond D
Construction, LLC.

Diamond D Construction for the emergency repair of the Western Hills mudslide at the City water tank PZI-N.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Proclamation Recognizing April 13th – 19th as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in
the City of Ukiah.
DEPARTMENT: Police PREPARED BY: Cedric Crook, Police Chief
PRESENTER: Mayor Crane or Councilmember
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Proclamation National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week
Summary: The City Council will consider issuing a proclamation recognizing April 14th through the 20th as
National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week in the City of Ukiah.
Background: The idea of a week to celebrate Public Safety Dispatchers originated in 1981 with the Contra
Costa County Sheriff’s Office. National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week was signed into law in 1994,
and is now celebrated annually during the second full week of April to thank those who dedicate their lives to
serving the public.
Discussion: Across the nation, in times of intense personal crisis and community-wide disasters, the first
access point for those seeking all classes of emergency services is 9-1-1. The emergency communications
centers and public safety dispatchers that receive these calls have emerged as the first and single point of
contact for persons seeking immediate relief during an emergency.
Public safety dispatching requires a unique skill set, and dedicated professionals who are prepared to handle
any variety of emergency situations at any time. These public safety professionals are dedicated to helping
citizens when they need it most and are the vital link between law enforcement and emergency response
personnel. It is important to express gratitude to the hard-working, essential staff that help keep our
communities safe.
The Ukiah Police Department's Public Safety Dispatchers respond to emergency calls, dispatch emergency
professionals and equipment, and render lifesaving assistance to the citizens of Ukiah and Mendocino County
24 hours a day, seven days a week for the City of Ukiah and the City of Fort Bragg Police Departments.
In 2024, Ukiah Police Dispatchers received over 66,000 telephone calls from members of the community
seeking assistance. 14,298 of those phone calls were 9-1-1 calls for assistance. In the year 2020, emergency
dispatchers were also officially recognized as “First Responders” by the State of California, just like their
partner police officers, firefighters, and EMS workers.
The City of Ukiah has arranged for the exterior of the City of Ukiah Civic Center to be accented in gold lighting
throughout the week in commemoration of Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. The color gold has long
been associated with public safety dispatchers, who are known as “the calm voice in the dark, the heroes
behind the scenes, the Golden Link that holds it all together”.
The proclamation recognizing April 13th through the 19th as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week
in Ukiah, is attached.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Proclamation of the City Council of the City of Ukiah Recognizing the Climate Initiative
“Biodiversity in the City.”
DEPARTMENT: Community Services PREPARED BY: Neil Davis, Community Services Director
PRESENTER: Mayor Crane or Councilmember
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Proclamation 2025 Biodiversity
Summary: Council will consider issuing a proclamation recognizing the climate initiative “Biodiversity in the
City.”
Background: There is a pervasive myth that urban areas have little value to conservation. Public perception
of wildlife tends to be tied to natural habitats such as forests, ocean and other wild settings. However, cities
can provide habitat for many animals and plants. In the largest global assessment of urban biodiversity to
date, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society, researchers examined the biodiversity of urban areas
and found that cities are home to a surprising number of species. The study underlines the conservation
importance of preserving and creating green spaces when it comes to urban planning.
Despite this myth and general perception, the citizens of Ukiah have long taken action on a wide variety of
fronts to promote conservation and biodiversity through community action, including awareness days and
public events and projects. These efforts have included Earth Day, Arbor Day, Ditch Your Lawn, No Mow May,
the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge and others. Taken together, all these events and efforts cumulatively address the
larger issue of biodiversity in the City.
Discussion: All of the aforementioned programs have at various times been brought to the Council for
recognition. This month, the City Council is acknowledging the cumulative impact of these efforts in an
overarching proclamation. Attachment 1 is a Proclamation recognizing the climate initiative “Biodiversity in the
City.”
Recommended Action: Issue Proclamation
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: no
CURRENT BUDGET AMOUNT: NA
PROPOSED BUDGET AMOUNT: NA
FINANCING SOURCE: NA

COORDINATED WITH:
STRATEGIC PLAN (SP): SP 1C - Encourage and support an environmentally sustainable and resilient community
by embracing new technology, setting policy, and evaluating critical infrastructure.

Recognizing Monday April 22nd as Earth Day and the City of Ukiah’s
Commitment to Protecting and Promoting Biodiversity in the City of Ukiah
Whereas, biodiversity encompasses the diversity of life and its ecosystems, vital for
ecosystem resilience, human nourishment, health, clean air, and water; and
Whereas, the rapid decline in global biodiversity demands urgent action to preserve
species and habitats, with California recognized as a critical biodiversity hotspot; and
Whereas, Earth Day promotes environmental stewardship and awareness among
Ukiah's citizens; and
Whereas, initiatives like the Mayors' Monarch Pledge and the City's policies
underscore the commitment to creating pollinator habitats, educating the public, and
emphasizing the conservation of green spaces; and
Whereas, addressing the environmental impacts of urban development is crucial,
particularly for marginalized communities, aligning with the Strategic Plan goals; and
Whereas, the City prioritizes the restoration and maintenance of indigenous habitats,
watersheds, and urban forests to support biodiversity and climate resilience; and
Whereas, Ukiah's engagement in Arbor Day, the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge, and other
conservation efforts reflects its ongoing commitment to biodiversity; and
Whereas, the City’s Strategic Plan requires us to Enhance Our Neighborhoods by
encouraging and supporting environmentally sustainable and resilient communities,
and
Therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Ukiah, hereby proclaims
April 22nd as Earth Day, committing to the conservation of native species and habitats
and supporting citywide biodiversity efforts, including the Mayor’s Monarch Pledge,
the State’s Thirty by Thirty Initiative, Earth Day, Arbor Day, and similar events.
Signed and sealed, this 2nd day of April in the year
Two Thousand and Twenty-five.

team. Concurrently, Rob has fostered a stronger sense of teamwork in the Parks division, while also
developing the team’s working relationships with other groups. As he prepares for retirement, he has

1. Fee Analysis - Business Licenses
2. Proposed Ordinance
Summary: Council will consider adopting an Ordinance amending section 2130 in Division 2, Chapter 1,
Article 3 of the Ukiah City Code to increase the amount of application processing fees for business licenses.
Background: In 2024, business license application review and issuance were reassigned to a newly created
Business Services Division of the Community Development Department. Over the last 12 months, Staff has
analyzed the business licensing application process, making minor improvements to the application process,
issuance process, and enforcement process. Such changes were designed to increase efficiencies and deliver
a high level of customer service and education to the public and business owners.
The City currently receives fees for the processing of business license applications as established under
section 2130 of Ukiah City Code. The last update to application processing fees was completed in 1993, and
over the last 30+ years, the cost of providing business license services, including administrative and
processing expenses, has increased. The biggest increase in application processing costs has been for new
businesses in the built environment within the City limits that require zoning and planning review prior to
issuance.
The City has absorbed these growing costs without adjusting the fees to match inflation or the increasing costs
of Staff to process applications and renewals. As a result, the current fees no longer reflect the actual
administrative cost involved in providing business licensing services.
On March 19, 2025, the Ukiah City Council held a public hearing where Staff presented the proposed
Ordinance (Attachment 2). Council discussed the proposed Ordinance and by unanimous vote (5-0), approved
the introduction of the Ordinance.
Discussion: In order to better align fees with the cost of services and administrative functions required for
business license applications, Staff is recommending an increase to the processing fees. The proposed fee
increase is designed to ensure the City can continue to effectively process business license applications and
renewals while maintaining a high level of service to the business community.
In preparing this recommendation, Staff performed a fee study (Attachment 1) to analyze the costs of Staff's
application processing, as well as reviewing the amount of business license application processing fees in
similar-sized and neighboring jurisdictions. While review of neighboring jurisdictions is important, the cost-
recovery analysis of Ukiah's operations/services is the basis for which the proposed fees were developed.
Page 31 of 74
Page 2 of 2
The proposed fee adjustment will modify the current application fees for new businesses and renewals,
currently set at $10.00 and $5.00, respectively. The adjusted fees for new licenses will be $30.00 for
businesses located outside city limits and $206.00 for businesses within city limits. Planning and zoning
checks for new businesses operating within the city are essential to ensure compliance with local land use
ordinances and promote compatible activities within the city’s various zones. Businesses located outside city
limits are not subject to local planning or zoning review within Ukiah’s jurisdiction but typically undergo similar
reviews and associated costs in their respective jurisdictions. Additionally, the renewal fee for all businesses,
regardless of their location within or outside city limits, will increase from the current $5.00 per application to
$30.00 per application.
Staff recommends Council adopt the Ordinance amending Section 2130 in Division 2, Chapter 1, Article 3 of
Ukiah City Code to increase the application processing fees for business licenses. If adopted, the Ordinance
would become effective May 2, 2025.
Recommended Action: Adopt an Ordinance amending section 2130 in Division 2, Chapter 1, Article 3 of the
Ukiah City Code to increase the amount of application processing fees for business licenses.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Review and adopt updates and corrections to the 2040 General Plan Land Use and Planning Area
Maps.
DEPARTMENT: Community
Development PREPARED BY: Jesse Davis, Chief Planning Manager
PRESENTER: Consent Calendar
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Proposed 2040 General Plan - Land Use Map (03.24.2025)
2. Proposed 2040 General Plan - Planning Area Map (03.24.2025)
Summary: Council will review and possibly adopt previously approved updates, as well as minor corrections
to the 2040 General Plan Land Use and Planning Area Maps.
Background: On December 7, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution adopting the 2040 General Plan
(Resolution No. 2022-79), as well as a Resolution certifying the EIR, adopting the Findings of Fact and
Statement of Overriding Considerations, and approving the Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program
(Resolution No. 2022-78). On December 8, 2022, the City of Ukiah filed the Notice of Determination (NOD)
with the County Clerk and State Clearinghouse.
Subsequently, on December 29, 2022, the City Council adopted the 2040 City of Ukiah Land Use Map and
Planning Area Map that reflected the City's adopted Land Use designations, annexation areas and City.
The Land Use Diagram, often referred to as the Land Use Map, is one of the most critical components of the
General Plan’s Land Use Element. It serves as a visual representation of how land throughout the city is
designated for various uses. This map illustrates the community’s long-term vision for physical development,
and should be regularly updated to reflect changes to General Plan land use designations, or the City's
boundaries.
By identifying the intended use of land within the jurisdiction, the proposed Land Use Map (Attachment 1)
provides the foundation for the applied zoning regulations. State law requires that local zoning ordinances be
consistent with the land use designations shown on the map. In this way, the diagram ensures a direct
connection between a community’s broader planning goals. The proposed Planing Area map displays the
same 2040 land-use designations but across the City's Area of Interest (Attachment 2). An Area of Interest is
not the same as a Sphere of Influence (SOI), which is the official boundary the Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCo) uses to plan a local agency’s future service area. Instead, an Area of Interest is an
informal planning tool that helps LAFCos, cities, and special districts coordinate long-term growth, plan for
service expansion, and consider future boundary changes. While not legally binding, these areas can shape
future decisions and ensure the City is made aware of proposed land-use decisions that may pertain to its
operations.
Discussion: Since the adoption of the 2040 General Plan and the corresponding Land Use Map in late-2022,
several critical updates have occurred that necessitate revisions to the City's official Land Use Map. These
updates reflect recent annexations, an approved General Plan Amendment, and corrections to identified
Page 38 of 74
Page 2 of 3
mapping errors, and are further described below:
1. Removal of "Annexation Area" Designations. The Land Use Map has been updated to remove the
"Annexation Area" designations associated with the following areas: City-Owned Annexation (2023) and
Western Hills Annexation (2024). Both annexations have been formally approved by the Mendocino LAFCo,
and the areas are now officially within the City limits. The removal of these overlay labels reflects the change
in jurisdictional status.
2. Inclusion of Additional Parcel – Western Hills Annexation: Both maps now identify APN 003-190-11, which
was incorporated into the Western Hills Annexation to facilitate public access to open space. In support of the
Western Hills Annexation request, the City proactively amended its Sphere of Influence in coordination with its
application. The applicable R-1(H) (Residential Single Family – Hillside) and P (Public) designations have
been applied to the area, though the associated Lot Line adjustments are still pending finalization.
3. Approved General Plan Amendment (Ordinance #1245): In 2024, a General Plan Amendment for APN 002-
080-39/195 Low Gap Road was approved, changing the land use designation from Low-Density Residential
(LDR) to Community Commercial (CC). This amendment supports the applicant’s proposal to renovate the
existing structure for use as a Professional Office.
4. Corrections to Mapping Errors: The Land Use and Planning Area maps has been corrected to address
several mapping errors identified after the preparation of the General Plan. The following parcels have been
revised to reflect their originally intended land use designations:
• APN 002-080-32 – Corrected from Community Commercial (CC) to Medium-Density Residential
(MDR)
• APN 002-080-35 – Corrected from Community Commercial (CC) to Medium-Density Residential
(MDR)
• APN 002-080-48 – Corrected from Community Commercial (CC) to Medium-Density Residential
(MDR)
• APN 003-047-11 – Corrected from Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to High-Density Residential (HDR)
Staff recommends Council review and adopt updates to the 2040 General Plan Land Use and Planning Area
Maps, which will ensure consistency between the Land Use and Planning Area Maps and the intent of the
adopted General Plan. This action will also partially accomplish General Plan Land Use Implementation
Program E: Zoning districts and map consistency with the 2040 Land Use Diagram.
Recommended Action: Review and adopt previously approved updates, as well as minor corrections to the
2040 General Plan Land Use and Planning Area Maps.

ITEM NO: 2025-345
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Possible Adoption of Resolution Reappointing Douglas 'Rick' Johnson to the City of Ukiah
Planning Commission.
DEPARTMENT: City Clerk PREPARED BY: Kristine Lawler, City Clerk
PRESENTER: Craig Schlatter, Community Development
Director
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Application- Douglas Rick Johnson- Planning Commission_Redacted
2. Proposed Resolution
Summary: The City Council will consider adopting a resolution reappointing Douglas 'Rick' Johnson to the
City of Ukiah Planning Commission.
Background: Douglas 'Rick' Johnson has served on the Planning Commission since 2021. His term expires
April 7, 2025, and he has expressed interest in being reappointed.
There are two vacancies on the Planning Commission that have been noticed since December 2022 with no
applications having been received.
Discussion: The primary role of a Planning Commissioner related to "current planning" (i.e. the granting of
major discretionary entitlements) is to objectively determine facts and draw conclusions from those facts,
basing decision on existing policy (set by City Council) and law; and considering Staff analysis, including
agency goals and policies, along with community input, making recommendations and decisions based upon
findings of fact.
Commissioner Johnson has proven to be a knowledgeable and valuable member of the Planning Commission
and to the community, and has submitted an application for reappointment (Attachment 1). The Community
Development Director and Staff recommend approval of the reappointment; without which will leave the
Planning Commission without a quorum in order to hold meetings.
Staff recommends that Council adopt the resolution (Attachment 2) reappointing Douglas 'Rick' Johnson to the
Planning Commission with the term ending April 2, 2030. If Council wishes to have further discussion, this
item can be pulled and placed at the end of the agenda.
Recommended Action: Adopt resolution reappointing Douglas 'Rick' Johnson to the Planning Commission.

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: Approval of Change Order for the Urban Core Project to Ghilotti Construction Inc. for Additional
Utility Work to Replace the Water Main on Gobbi Street Between Main Street and Orchard Ave. in the Amount
of $1,584,000 and Approval of Corresponding Budget Amendment.
DEPARTMENT: Public Works PREPARED BY: Seth Strader, Administrative Analyst
PRESENTER: Tim Eriksen, Director of Public Works
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Awarding Staff Report
2. CCO-No-15 Spec 23-07
Summary: Council will consider the approval of a change order with Ghilotti Construction Inc. for additional
utility work on the Urban Core Project and approval of the corresponding budget amendment.
Background: The Urban Core Project is an expansive construction project that includes major utility
replacement, road rehabilitation and pedestrian enhancements along the major corridors of Gobbi, Main and
Perkins Streets. The project was awarded to Ghilotti Construction Inc. at the March 6, 2024, City Council
Meeting (Attachment 1). The original contract amount was $13,138,330.43, which includes the 10%
contingency over the low bid submitted by Ghilotti Construction Inc. Note, the original engineer's estimate for
the project was $14,384,000.
Discussion: At the time this project was designed, the water main on East Gobbi between Orchard and Main
appeared to be in satisfactory condition and did not require replacement. However, as the contractor replaced
other major utilities on Gobbi Street and Staff were able to closely inspect some of the infrastructure, they
discovered that the water main was in poor condition, as evidenced by a major failure during construction.
Given its recently-identified deteriorated state, Staff determined that it would be important to replace the aging
water main now, while the road is already excavated and crews are mobilized, rather than risk a future failure
on the soon-to-be new roadway. This work is estimated to cost approximately $1,584,000 in additional
expenses. See Attachment 2 for a copy of the change order.
If approved, the contract total will be $14,868,252.87.
Staff recommends Council approve the change order with Ghilotti Construction Inc. for additional utility work
on the Urban Core Project and approve the corresponding budget amendment.
Note: Staff are also exploring the option of amending the paving scope of the project to upgrade certain
segments from overlay to reconstruction. The additional work would provide a longer-lasting product in areas
that might be more suitable for the improved treatment given reassessed conditions of road structure that have
been observed since opening up the roadway for the utility trenching. Staff are coordinating with Ghilotti
Construction to provide a proposal to be considered at a future Council Meeting.
Recommended Action: Approve change order to Ghilotti Construction Inc. for additional utility work on the
Urban Core Project in the amount of $1,584,000 and approve corresponding budget amendment.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Award of Bid for the Urban Core Rehabilitation and Transportation Project

4.13b Supplemental Memo - Mary Horger (posted 3-6-24)
Summary: Council will consider awarding a contract for the Urban Core Rehabilitation and Transportation
Project (UCRTP), Specification 23-07, and consider approval of corresponding budget amendments.
Background: The City approved the plans, specifications and estimate for the Urban Core Rehabilitation and
Transportation Project (UCRTP), Specification 23-07 on November 11, 2023. See Attachment 1. Prior to
approval of these plans, Staff worked with the Complete Street ad-hoc to implement complete street standards
into this project. This project is partially grant funded; 42.3% of the projected costs will be reimbursed through
a grant awarded by Caltrans and the remaining 57.7% will be paid via Lease Revenue Bonds. The engineer's
estimate for the project is $14,384,000. This project will consist of utility replacement, storm drain
enhancement, pedestrian improvements and streetscape features on Perkins, Main and Gobbi Streets.
Discussion: The City received three (3) construction bids for this project. See Attachment 2 for a copy of the
bid tabulation. Ghilitto Construction Company Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder with a bid amount of
$11,943,936.75. A copy of Ghilotti Construction Inc.'s bid is provided here in Attachment 3. A budget amount
of $13,138,330.43 is requested. This will cover 10% contingency for the project.
Additional details regarding budget distribution will be provided at time of recommendation of award.
With the project coming well under the engineer's estimate, Staff is exploring the opportunity of improving
adjacent corridors, like Clay Street into the new courthouse development site and Hospital Drive. Staff will
work with the Complete Streets Ad-hoc on this opportunity.
Recommended Action: Award bid for the Urban Core Rehabilitation and Transportation Project (UCRTP),
Specification 23-07, and approve of corresponding budget amendments.

Summary: Each year during the annual budget process, the Ukiah City Council reviews and updates the
City's Strategic Plan.
Background: The Strategic Plan provides a framework that prioritizes focus on core functions and ensures
City Departments are working together to meet the needs of our residents and businesses as directed by the

strategies and specific actions.
The priorities, strategies, and actions that make up the strategic plan evolve over time with the changing

• Strategies describe what is needed to move the City in the direction of completing each priority.
• Actions outline specific steps to be taken to achieve the strategy. Actions are further defined, detailed,
and assigned as objectives within each departmental budget.
Throughout the annual budget process, the City Council reviews and modifies the Plan as necessary and sets
annual objectives for all departments (within departmental budgets) that are in line with the City's priorities.
Discussion: The City Council will review and discuss the Strategic Plan (Attachment #1). The plan includes
updates and proposed edits (in redline) that reflect the Council's recent policy changes, completed actionable
items, Council discussion and direction over the past year, and new priorities.

Ukiah City Council Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan provides a comprehensive framework that prioritizes focus on core functions
and ensures City Departments are working together to meet the needs of our residents and
businesses. The priorities identified in the Plan will guide decision-making to desired outcomes
through strategies and specific actions.
The priorities, strategies and actions that make up the strategic plan evolve over time with the
changing needs of the community and organization. During the annual budget process, the
City Council reviews and modifies the Plan as necessary and sets annual objectives for all
departments that are in line with the City’s priorities.
In addition, successful development and implementation of the Strategic Plan requires
continued engagement, collaboration, and review with our commissions and citizens.
Outcomes
The primary outcomes for the Strategic Planning Process are threefold:
1. Create alignment among Councilmembers, City Staff, and the Community about
the top strategic priorities for the City of Ukiah.
2. Develop a set of operational principles that will guide the practices and decisions of the
Council in focusing the strategic priorities.
3. Identify specific mechanisms for tracking these strategic priorities over time that will
allow the Council and City Staff to make the necessary adjustments to achieve the
strategic priorities.
General Principles
A set of accepted guidelines formed to capture values and priorities that transcend broadly to the
strategic plan.
• We value diversity, equity, transparency, and justice and those values are essential core
elements of policy-making, accountability, and delivery of City services.
• We are mindful that our actions have a profound effect on the health and well-being of
future generations.
• Our strategies and approaches maintain or enhance the positive
characteristics of our community. Our decisions reflect fiscal responsibility,
reliability, sustainability, and affordability with an understanding and
consideration of impacts to the entire community and organization.
• We look to partner with our community members to promote greater ownership and
involvement in their services.
• We look for strategies that increase efficiencies while enhancing customer service.
• We ensure reliability, quality, and value in our services with an annual review of rates and
fees to reflect economic changes and service costs.
• Where applicable, we adjust rates and fees to reflect changes in the economy and cost of
services.

and organization. A priority may not be completely attainable, but it is used as a point
towards which to strive.

defined, detailed, and assigned as objectives within each departmental budget.

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

agenda to provide the City Council members an expanded opportunity to report on assignments and modify
assignments as necessary.

2025 AD HOC COMMITTEES
*Note: Changing the composition of an existing ad‐hoc among current councilmembers after work has begun presents potential Brown Act issues. Requests
for fully filled ad‐hocs are represented on the draft, but staff does not recommend changes except to fill vacated assignments. The current requests on the
sheet for fully composed ad‐hocs are primarily intended to convey interest in topics covered by these ad‐hoc committees for possible future consideration
of new assignments.
