RICE, CITY ATTORNEY DATE: JANUARY 22, 2024 SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO JACOBS CONTRACT FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATIONS RECOMMENDATION • Approve Amendment No. 06 to the Agreement for Operations, Maintenance and Management Services for the Wastewater Treatment Plant for the City of Crescent City, California with Operations Management International, Inc. (Jacobs) BACKGROUND The City of Crescent City owns, operates, and maintains the Wastewater Treatment Plant, a Water Quality Laboratory, and related facilities. The Wastewater Treatment Plant has a design capacity of 1.86 million gallons per day (MGD) average dry weather flow with a permitted ocean discharge. The facility’s NPDES Permit No. CA0022756 is administered through the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Santa Rosa office. The Crescent City WWTP provides service to approximately 3,900 accounts. The first Crescent City WWTP was constructed in 1958 and has undergone four major retrofits since then. The most recent upgrade was a 2007 $40+ million-dollar project in response to 1997 cease and desist orders associated with plant effluent violations. The 2007 retrofit upgraded many portions of the facility including the addition of a 1.1 MGD rated membrane bioreactor (MBR). The WWTP is classified as a Class IV facility because it includes tertiary treatment. In 2019, the City signed a contract with Operations Management International, Inc. (also known as Jacobs Engineering) to perform operations, maintenance and management for the City’s wastewater treatment plant. Since entering into the original agreement, the City and Jacobs Engineering have entered into five amendments summarized as follows: # Date Description 1  JACOBS AMENDMENT NO. 06 2 JANUARY 22, 2024 01 5/3/2021 Extended deadline for condition assessment and biosolids utilization study and adjusted the base rate to account for prevailing wages; fix typo in index identifier for CPI. 02 8/4/2021 Updated the base fee per the predetermined escalation factor 03 9/13/2021 Additional Scope: Influent gate final design, bid services and construction management services 04 4/19/2022 Additional Scope: RBC Capital Upgrade & Biosolids / Digester Optimization Project Scope of Work & Assumptions – Phase 1. 05 6/22/2022 Extended deadline for condition assessment and biosolids utilization study ITEM ANALYSIS Amendment No. 06 presented to the City Council for consideration will increase the base annual fee per the escalation formula in the contract, removes chemicals from the base fee to a rebateable account, authorizes a payment of $30,500 for the increase in sludge hauling costs incurred in FY 22-23, and authorizes payment to Jacobs for Laboratory Support Services the rate of $76.00 per hour through the end of this fiscal year. The base fee is increased each year according to a predetermined formula set forth in original agreement. In addition to increasing the base fee in accordance with the escalation formula, the cost of necessary chemicals has been removed from the base fee and placed in a rebateable account. This means that the $137,050 budgeted for chemicals will be accounted for separately from the base fee. At the end of the year, if not all funds are spent, they will be credited or returned to the City. If Jacobs spends the entire amount on chemicals, then the City must pay for the excess cost. Last fiscal year, there was a significant increase in the cost for hauling the Wastewater Treatment Plant’s sludge to the landfill in White City. This increase resulted in an unexpected increase of $30,500 in sludge hauling costs. The City’s Lab Technician will be taking a leave of absence soon. The Lab will require some additional support during this time to assist with weekly sample processing. Jacobs can provide that temporary, intermittent support for $76.00 an hour. It is estimated that the cost to the City for this fiscal year will be $4,468.80 (56 hours).  JACOBS AMENDMENT NO. 06 3 JANUARY 22, 2024 FISCAL ANALYSIS The additional $30,500 for increased FY 22/23 sludge hauling costs associated with this amendment was accounted for in FY 22/23 as an estimated cost. The FY 23/24 budget already includes an estimated cost increase for this year’s sludge hauling. The change of chemicals to a rebateable account does not change the budget, only the method of payment and tracking. Should the actual chemical cost for the year vary from the estimate, there will either be an increase or decrease in the City’s expense, which may require a budget adjustment at a future time. The estimated cost for temporary assistance with water sampling is expected to be covered by the existing budget. STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT This action supports the following Strategic plan Goals: • GOAL 1: SUPPORT QUALITY SERVICES, COMMUNITY SAFETY, AND HEALTH TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND EXPERIENCE OF OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS o D. Provide and maintain an efficient, adequate infrastructure to provide for both current and future community needs • GOAL 3: OBTAIN THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE o A. Maintain responsible fiscal management and accountability o C. Seek methods to create efficiencies and add additional value without compromising safety or performance ATTACHMENTS • Amendment No. 06 to the Agreement for Operations, Maintenance and Management Services for Wastewater Treatment Plant for the City of Crescent City, California  AMENDMENT NO. 06 to the AGREEMENT FOR OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT for the CITY OF CRESCENT CITY, CALIFORNIA This Amendment No. 06 (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement for Wastewater Facilities Operations, Maintenance and Management Services for City of Crescent City, California, dated August 5, 2019 (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this ___day of ______________, ______ by and between the City of Crescent City, California (hereinafter “Owner”) and Operations Management International, Inc.

Sections D.1.1.01-D.1.1.03 remain unchanged. 3. Appendix D, Section D.1.3 is hereby added with the following: D.1.3 Rebateable Chemicals The total amount Contractor shall be required to pay for Chemicals shall not exceed the annual Chemicals Limit of One Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Fifty Dollars and Zero Cents ($137,050.00) per year for the fifth period of the Agreement covering July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.

BACKGROUND The City’s current water system was originally developed in 1958. The Ranney Collector removes water from the Smith River aquifer and is the sole source of potable water to the City of Crescent City. There are three vertical turbine pumps that are utilized to pump water to meet all City water demands. Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) motors were installed in 2011 as an energy efficiency project to replace the single speed motors previously used. VFD electronics require ongoing maintenance and eventual replacement. On August 18, 2023 at 4:20pm, the power to Crescent City was turned off by Pacific Power as a pre-emptive measure due to the Smith River Complex fire which was started on August 15, 2023 as a result of lightning strikes. The diesel generator installed in the Ranney Control building failed shortly after startup due to an electrical problem in the generator itself. A replacement mobile generator was provided by CalOES for the duration of the power outage which lasted roughly a week. Line power was later restored returning the generator to be available for back-up in case of power failures. ITEM ANALYSIS When the City’s generator failed, a control board was damaged, sending electrical charges to the VFDs, causing two of them to fail. The City is currently running with only 2  RANNEY VFD REPLACEMENT 2 JANUARY 22, 2024 one functioning VFD controlling one pump to control the variable supply requirements. When the demand exceeds the capacity of one pump, a second pump is turned on to 100% and the VFD pump is ramped down to the demand requirement. The system is relying on the two tanks in town to augment the water supply during peak times. . City staff believes it is possible to repair one of the failed VFDs with existing parts. The second VFD must be completely replaced. A certified electrician is required to install the two VFDs when they become available. FISCAL ANALYSIS The proposed project is not currently budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Staff recommends funding this project from Water Fund reserves. The cost of the replacement VFD has been submitted as part of an insurance claim to GRSMA for the repair of both the generator and VFDs. Reimbursement for the claim is anticipated based on conversations with GRSMA with a $1,000 deductible paid for by the City. Quotation for Replacement of VFD1 $27,167 Repair of VFD2 City Staff Time Estimate for installation of two VFDs $ 6,000 Total $33,167 Description Revenue Increase Expenditure Increase Water CIP Fund $ 32,167 $ 33,167 STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT GOAL 1: Support quality services, community safety, and health to enhance the quality of life and experience of our residents and visitors. D. Provide and maintain an efficient, adequate infrastructure to provide for both current and future community needs ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 2024-04  RESOLUTION NO. 2024-04 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 BUDGET OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY WHEREAS, the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2023, as submitted by the City Manager, was reviewed by the City Council and a public hearing was held thereon the 5th day of June 2023; and WHEREAS, the City Council adopted said budget by way of Resolution 2023-39 and has the authority to amend said budget from time to time; and WHEREAS, the City is the owner and is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Ranney Collector and control building; and WHEREAS, the Ranney collector is the sole source of water supply for the City of Crescent City and is currently operating with one of three functioning Variable Frequency Drives (VFD); and WHEREAS, emergency replacement of the VFD is not currently budgeted as a Capital Improvement Program (CIP); and WHEREAS, funding of this replacement and installation requires appropriation of funds necessitating City Council approval; and WHEREAS, fulfillment of these priorities requires an amendment to the operating budget. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AS FOLLOWS: 1. That the Fiscal Year 2023-24 City of Crescent City Annual Budget is hereby amended and appropriated in the amounts identified below: Revenue Increase (Decrease) Expenditure Increase (Decrease) Water – CIP Fund $27,167 $33,167 2. That any unused portion of this budget will be carried over to the next fiscal year until the project is complete. APPROVED and ADOPTED and made effective the same day at a special meeting of the City Council of the City of Crescent City held on the 22nd day of January 2024 by the following polled vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: _______________________________ Blake Inscore, Mayor ATTEST: _____________________________ Robin Altman, City Clerk CITY OF CRESCENT CITY RESOLUTION NO. 2024-04 Page 1  CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: MAYOR INSCORE AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER BY: ASHLEY TAYLOR, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND RECREATION DIRECTOR DATE: JANUARY 22, 2024 SUBJECT: DNACA PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT RECOMMENDATION • Hear staff report • Technical questions from the Council • Receive public comment • Further Council discussion • Authorize the City Manager to enter into a Partnership Agreement with the Del Norte Association of Cultural Awareness BACKGROUND The Executive Director of the Del Norte Association for Cultural Awareness (DNACA) recently approached City staff about a possible partnership to offer concerts in the park at Beachfront Park, with the first one to take place during the Forest Moon Festival the weekend of May 31st-June 2nd. The proposed partnership would include the City providing use of Beachfront Park for the concerts, contributing to financial costs, and lending personnel where needed. DNACA is a 501(c)3 public benefit corporation founded in 1981 that promotes arts, culture, and tourism in Crescent City, Del Norte County, and adjacent Tribal lands. They are a State-Local Partner funded in part by the California Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. On December 18th, 2023, staff took a request to Council to approve a budget of $4,000 for the first concert in the park to take place during the Forest Moon Festival. Staff also requested direction to bring back a partnership agreement with DNACA that would include a concert series for the 2024-25 Fiscal Year budget. In response, Council directed staff to return with a more detailed explanation of what the City would be responsible for if it were to enter into an agreement with DNACA and what in-kind contributions would be included. 3  DNACA Partnership Agreement 2 January 22, 2024 ITEM ANALYSIS The partnership between the City and DNACA would encompass offering three concerts during the Summer of 2024, with the first one taking place during the Forest Moon Festival. The second concert would be in July or August, and the third would potentially take place during the annual Labor Day Bash on the first Saturday in September. Because of the success of the inaugural Forest Moon Festival, staff believe this would be the ideal weekend to kick off a Summer Concerts series in Beachfront Park. The concert would take place in Beachfront Park Friday evening and lead into the Star Wars film showing. The concert could potentially enhance the draw of the Forest Moon Festival, driving additional tourists to the area who might also stay and shop downtown and watch the movie in the park that night. Staff also hope to coordinate with the Downtown Divas to organize a downtown market during the event, making the potential coupling of the concert in the park and the market an opportunity to further build economic development efforts, especially in downtown Crescent City. The City’s role in the partnership would be to offer the venue space (Beachfront Park, or the Cultural Center as a rainy day plan), and reimburse DNACA for performer expenses, not-to-exceed $4,000 per concert. A further explanation of expenses is outlined in the Fiscal Analysis. DNACA is an indispensable staple of the community, and a mutually beneficial partnership between DNACA and the City of Crescent City would augment the City’s Forest Moon Festival contributions, help build community awareness and engagement, and encourage future sponsorships. FISCAL ANALYSIS DNACA has requested that the City contribute $4,000 per concert to support costs associated with bringing entertainment to the area, estimated at the following: • Booking Fees - $3,000-$3,500 per artist • Technical Services (Sound System & Operator) – $300 • Marketing - $50 • Towing & Setup of Fairgrounds’ Showmobile - $150 The contribution from the City would be in a non-to-exceed amount, meaning if expenses are less than $4,000, then the City would only be responsible for actual costs incurred for the above items per concert. This would not mean that the cost of a concert would be limited to $4,000, but rather that any expenses beyond $4,000 would be covered by DNACA. DNACA will also cover the cost of travel and lodging for the artist or group performing.  DNACA Partnership Agreement 3 January 22, 2024 For three concerts, the total cost to the City would be up to $12,000. For this Fiscal Year, the City would need to increase the Economic Development budget by $4,000 to provide a concert during the Forest Moon Festival. Staff would then include $12,000 in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget for the remaining two concerts in 2024 and the recurring concert during the Forest Moon Festival in 2025. With Council direction, staff will include these budget adjustments in the FY 23-24 mid- year budget which will be presented to the Council in the spring. As both the Forest Moon Festival and Concerts in the Park continue to grow and garner more attention in the community, staff plan to seek local sponsorships to help offset ongoing costs to offer them. STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT This action supports the following Strategic plan Goals: • GOAL 1: SUPPORT QUALITY SERVICES, COMMUNITY SAFETY, AND HEALTH TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND EXPERIENCE OF OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS A. Enhance collaboration with other agencies and the community to better aid the public. D. Provide and maintain an efficient, adequate infrastructure to provide for both current and future community needs F.

Rice, City Attorney  CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: MAYOR INSCORE AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER BY: BRIDGET LACEY, GRANTS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR DATE: JANUARY 22, 2024 SUBJECT: US ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION (EDA) GRANT APPLICATION TO UPDATE THE 2019-2024 DEL NORTE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CEDS) AND COMPLETE A DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN. ______________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION • Hear staff report • Technical questions from the Council • Take public comment • Further Council discussion • Direct staff to prepare an application for EDA funding to update the 2019-2024 Del Norte County CEDS ($50,000) and complete a Downtown Master Plan ($200,000). BACKGROUND For federal fiscal year (FY) 2023, the US Economic Development Administration (EDA) was appropriated $39.5 million for the Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) grant program and released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for these funds on March 15, 2023. Subject to the availability of funds, awards made under this NOFO will assist communities and regions in devising and implementing long-term economic development efforts through a variety of non-construction and construction projects. Under this program, EDA assists eligible recipients in creating regional and local economic development plans designed to build capacity and guide the economic prosperity and resiliency of an area or region. EAA investments are designed to help communities catalyze public-private partnerships to foster collaboration, attract investment, and create jobs. The average size of an EAA investment has been approximately $650,000 and EDA expects to make investments ranging from $150,000 4  EDA CEDS AND DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN APPLICATION JANUARY 22, 2024 to $2.5 million per project. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the publication of a new NOFO or all available funds have been expended. The current countywide CEDS was adopted by the City, County, and Harbor in March of 2020 and covers years 2019-2024. This planning document will expire at the end of 2024. While this planning process was taking place, the City also completed a more City-specific Economic Development Strategic Action Plan (EDSAP) with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. One of the “recipes” of this plan is to Re- envision Downtown (#8A). ITEM ANALYSIS The countywide CEDS provides a guide for accomplishing the economic development goals of the City, County, and Harbor and will be a requirement for other funding opportunities, such as California Jobs First (formerly CERF), as they arise for project implementation. Typically, CEDS are 5-year plans which should be reviewed annually. For this grant application and like the previous grant the planning partners have been identified as the City of Crescent City, County of Del Norte, and the Crescent City Harbor District as well as an extending invitation to our tribal partners whom would like to be included. City staff has recently formed a working group to begin the planning efforts for a downtown revitalization, as outlined in the EDSAP. Obtaining a Downtown Specific Plan will be the first step in this process and typically includes the following elements: • Community-based vision • Existing conditions report/data analysis • Land use designations and zoning districts • Public spaces • Sustainability • Design guidelines and concept drawings • Funding tools • Implementation plan Since both activities are eligible for funding under this grant program and one helps inform the other, staff would like to apply for both at once and slightly stagger the projects, similar to how we completed the 2019-2024 CEDS and EDSAP. The estimated timeline is as follows: Submit application February 2024 Award announcements April 2024 Contract execution June 2024 Project begins Sept 2024 Grant expenditure deadline 01/31/26 2  EDA CEDS AND DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN APPLICATION JANUARY 22, 2024 STAFF RECOMMENDATION City staff sees this as a critical time to, both, update the existing CEDS in preparation for future funding opportunities and build on the momentum of the Beachfront Park Master Plan by expanding this re-envisioning process into downtown. The proposed application will be for a total of $250,000 and will include the following plans: 2025-2030 Del Norte County CEDS $50,000 Crescent City Downtown Master Plan $200,000 Total project costs: $250,000 . FISCAL ANALYSIS If awarded, the City will receive a total of $40,000 in grant funding for the countywide CEDS to implement this multi-agency project. The grant requires a 20% match, or $10,000, which can be in the form of in-kind services, split among the participating agencies. It is estimated that City in-kind services (staff time) in facilitate the project will be valued at a minimum of $5,000 and if awarded staff will secure commitment letters from the partnering agencies for the in kind services to meet the overall match requirement. EDA will contribute $160,000 towards the Crescent City Downtown Master Plan, if awarded. The City will then be responsible for $10,000 of in-kind staff time and $30,000 from the existing economic development budget. STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT This action supports the following Strategic Plan goals: • Goal 1: Support quality services, community safety, and health to enhance the quality of life and experience of our residents and visitors • Goal 1(A): Enhance collaboration with other agencies and the community to better aid the public • Goal 1(E): Target economic development improvements that provide additional benefit by enhancing the quality of life for residents • Goal 2(D): Collaborate with other jurisdictions and nonprofits to maximize regional effectiveness and amplify funding opportunities • Goal 2(E): Create an environment that is conducive to attracting and retaining strong, sustainable businesses that reflect community needs and culture • Goal 2(F)(9): Expand on the success of grant funding by maximizing utilization of opportunities with corresponding community needs 3  CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: MAYOR INSCORE AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER BY: DAVID YEAGER, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ANDREW LEIGHTON, ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGER DATE: JANUARY 22, 2024 SUBJECT: PEBBLE BEACH DRIVE SLIDE REPAIR BUDGET AMENDMENT ______________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION • Hear staff report • Technical questions from Council • Receive public comment • Further Council discussion • Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2024-05, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Crescent City Amending the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget of the City of Crescent City BACKGROUND The December 2016 storms caused significant beach cliff erosion within the City along Pebble Beach Drive from Preston Island to Sixth Street. This was evidenced by the visible road cracks indicating loss of road foundation and loss of bluff. Initial efforts to secure Federal funding through the emergency relief program for bank stabilization were taken. These efforts included filling out and receiving approval via a Damage Assessment Form (DAF) and contracting SHN to provide a geotechnical report of the affected area. Staff met with the California Coastal Commission (”Coastal”), spoke with geotechnical design and construction firms, and developed a project cost estimate of approximately $1.5 million in 2017 for a soil nail truss system and riprap for bluff stabilization. After preliminary studies were conducted, it was determined that the level of repair exceeded DAF1 cost estimates and a revision to the DAF was submitted in October 2018 for a project cost estimate of $3.8 million. Staff received approval for the project cost estimate on November 1, 2018 from Caltrans (the implementing Agency) which was then followed by the authorization to proceed with Preliminary Engineering (PE) work. Emergency relief funding administered through Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) and California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) was approved. By August 2021 the design contractor had achieved 30% plans, and the first Coastal Development Permit (CDP) application was submitted. Based on Coastal staff’s responses, the scope of the project increased from a soil nail truss system with riprap to a soldier pile retaining wall with tiebacks over the 6 th to 8th street and the 9th to Preston 5  PEBBLE BEACH SLIDE 2 JANUARY 22, 2024 Island portions of the project. The 9th street section of Pebble Beach Drive (containing the Brother Jonathan lookout) which was modified to use a riprap solution for bluff stabilization. These changes were necessitated to minimize environmental impacts. The resulting increase in scope complexity increased the project cost estimate to $32.6 million. The DAF was updated and submitted in January of 2022, but has not yet received FHWA approval. Coastal staff requested additional information and the second CDP application was submitted in February of 2022. A third CDP application was submitted in August of 2022. Coastal staff again responded requiring additional information. Work on the fourth CDP application is continuing with collecting co-applicant support, removing the cobble berm as requested, providing proof of ownership for parcels affected and the city’s environmental mitigation locations, and/or changing the mitigation plan to a new/different project they prefer. Portions of the Coastal staff requests require “all-in” commitments such as purchasing mitigation land, adopting a policy of retreating/abandoning infrastructure, and hiring additional contractors to conduct further studies. There is no guarantee that a CDP will be eventually provided. ITEM ANALYSIS A 75-foot section of the bluff slid down to the beach on Pebble Beach Drive between 7th and 8th streets in the afternoon on January 14, 2024 undermining the western (ocean side) bicycle lane. The street was blocked the same day from pedestrian and vehicular traffic for safety reasons. The City has been in communication with Caltrans Division of Local Assistance. The Caltrans representatives are combining damage done throughout the state caused by that particular storm event for submission to FHWA for funding. They plan to include our cost estimate to repair this section of Pebble Beach with their funding request. The City has also been in communication with Coastal Commission staff to make them aware of the damages that have occurred with the current CDP application. Communication will be continuing with Coastal staff to try and work out an acceptable emergency scope of work to re-open that section of Pebble Beach Drive. The timeline to repair Pebble Beach Drive is unknown and will not be immediate. City staff is requesting some initial funding to cover immediate costs. These funds will be used to purchase additional and more permanent barricades to improve public safety; additional signage to establish a more effective detour; funding to hire a contractor to remove the hazard of the hanging curb, gutter and asphalt; funding for the purchasing of erosion control materials; and some preliminary funding for soils and design engineering to try and determine a foundation to dictate the extent of the wall and revetment design needed for construction to replace the road section on Pebble Beach Drive. FISCAL ANALYSIS As of today, there is approximately $300,000 left in the COWI contract to continue working on the original funding request. Preliminary recommendations from CalTrans indicate that it would be in the City’s best interest to separate the funding request initiated in 2017  PEBBLE BEACH SLIDE 3 JANUARY 22, 2024 from the present funding request. The table below estimates the expected costs towards reopening Pebble Beach with expectations for kicking off a CalOES Emergency Opening funding request. Item Cost Pedestrian/Vehicular Barricades and Detour Signage $4,000 Hazard removal including demolition of curb, gutter, and asphalt $5,500 Erosion Control materials $1,500 Pre-liminary engineering costs $ 20,000 Total Funding Request $ 31,000 These costs will tracked so they can be reimbursed if emergency funding becomes available. It is important to note that this budget request is only for immediate items needed to provide for the safety of the public and begin the process of designing a repair. At this time, the estimated cost to implement such a repair is unknown. STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT GOAL 1: SUPPORT QUALITY SERVICES, COMMUNITY SAFETY, AND HEALTH TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND EXPERIENCE OF OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS A. Enhance collaboration with other agencies and the community to better aid the public. B. Ensure that information shared between departments, with other agencies, and with the public is both accurate and timely. C.

RICE, CITY ATTORNEY DATE: JANUARY 22, 2024 SUBJECT: LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION FOR JANUARY STORM RECOMMENDATION • Hear staff report • Technical questions from the Council • Receive public comment • Further Council discussion • Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2024-06, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Crescent City Ratifying the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services Proclaiming the Existence of a Local Emergency BACKGROUND If a local government determines effects of an emergency are beyond the capability of local resources to mitigate effectively, the local government must proclaim a local emergency. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 8680.9, a local emergency is a condition of extreme peril to persons or property proclaimed as such by the governing body of the local agency affected by a natural or manmade disaster. The purpose of a local emergency proclamation is to provide extraordinary police powers; immunity for emergency actions; authorize issuance of orders and regulations; activate pre-established emergency provisions; and is a prerequisite to request state or federal assistance. A local emergency proclamation can only be issued by a governing body (city, county, or city and county) or an official designated by local ordinance. The proclamation must be issued within 10 days of the incident and ratified by the governing body within 7 days. Renewal of the resolution should occur every 60 days until terminated. ITEM ANALYSIS 6  LOCAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION 2 JANUARY 22, 2024 The storm that occurred January 13-14, 2024 brought 8-10 inches to the area over approximately 72 hours and resulted in a slide along Pebble Beach Drive between 7th and 8th Streets. The slide has undermined the stability of road and left a gaping void beneath the asphalt. The roadway for the impacted section (approximately one block) has been reduced to a single lane with the other lane being closed to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Given that the slide is located along the beach, the cost to repair the roadway is estimated to be in the millions. The City does not have the financial resources to make this repair. The declaration of a local emergency is the first step in seeking state financial assistance to make the repairs. The City Manager serves as the City’s Director of Emergency Services. On Friday, January 19, 2024, the Director signed a proclamation declaring the existence of a local emergency. The City Council then has 7 days to ratify the proclamation. FISCAL ANALYSIS There is no direct fiscal impact to adopting an emergency proclamation. However, this is the first step in requesting State funds to assist in completing the necessary repairs to that portion of Pebble Beach Drive that was damaged by the storm.
