AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
To:
Honorable Mayor and Council Members
From:
Gerardo Gonzalez, Chief of Police
Agenda Title: AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF ONE UTILITY VEHICLE FROM FOLSOM
CHEVROLET, AT A TOTAL COST OF $ 34,987.19, PLUS THE ASSOCIATED TOTAL SET-UP COSTS
ESTIMATED AT $ 3,340.01, FROM FUNDS 651 AND 654 (ASSET FORFEITURE) TO REPLACE THE
EXISTING UTILITY VEHICLE CURRENTLY DEPLOYED FOR USE IN THE MENDOCINO MAJOR
CRIMES TASK FORCE
Type:

Consent
Regular Agenda
Public Hearing
Urgent Time: N/A
Summary of Request: The Police Department has continued to receive asset forfeiture funds through an
MOU with the District Attorney’s Office, which have been deposited into funds 651 and 654. There are
currently enough funds in these accounts to allow for the purchase of the vehicle in the attached quote
from Folsom Chevrolet and for approximately $ 3,340.01 in set-up expenses which would allow for the
vehicle to be equipped with the necessary emergency equipment. The laws surrounding asset forfeiture
funds state that the funds shall not be used to supplant the regular budget. In essence, these funds can
only be used to augment the police budget. The Police Department is looking to replace the vehicle
currently used in the Major Crimes Task Force with a newer vehicle and place the existing vehicle into
service at the Police Department. Purchasing this vehicle at this time would not affect the current General
Fund as these funds would be spent from funds 651 and 654. Attached is a quote for a 2014 Chevrolet
Silverado Utility Truck bought from Folsom Chevrolet on the State master contract which also includes
delivery fee to Willits. The Willits Police Department currently contributes to the use of a vehicle to the Task
Force used by Fort Bragg PD due to our continued low staffing levels on a shared use MOU with the City of
Fort Bragg. The City of Fort Bragg provides on going routine vehicle maintenance while the vehicle is used
by their agency.
Recommended Action: Authorize the purchase and expenditure of this Police vehicle from Folsom
Chevrolet, at a total cost of $34,987.19, plus the associated total set-up costs estimated at $ 3,340.01, from
Funds 654 and 651 (Asset Forfeiture).
Alternative(s): The Council could elect not to authorize the purchase of the replacement utility vehicle and
instead wait until the next budget cycle, at which time there would be a direct cost to the General Fund.
Fiscal Impact: Cost of this vehicle is $34,987.19 plus estimated $ in set-up costs from Funds 654 and
651. Currently, Fund 654 has an approximate fund balance of $ 23,908.87 and Fund 651 has an
approximate fund balance of $ 176,147.03 before this expenditure, leaving adequate money in this account
for other unexpected expenses.
Personnel Impact: Minimal.

Public Hearing
Urgent Time: 20 min.
Summary of Request: The firm of R.J. Ricciardi, Inc., issued an unqualified opinion on the City of Willits
financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. In an attempt to save money, our auditor,
Michael O’Connor will not be attending the Council meeting to review the June 30, 2013, financial statements.
Instead, staff will answer any questions. If, after this discussion, you determine it is necessary to have the
auditor attend a future meeting, that can be arranged. Please bring your copy of the audit report with you.
The report includes the auditors’ opinion letter, the Management discussion and analysis, the financial
statements, notes to the financial statements, budget to actual comparisons for the general and sales tax funds,
and the auditors’ report on internal control. The ending fund balance in the General Fund decreased by
$233,027 from $2,393,108 to $2,160,081. The Sales Tax Transportation Fund ended the year with $2,216,084
in reserves after completing the Central Street Project. The Airport Fund ended the year with a loss of $30,164.
The fund balance in both the Sewer Fund and the Water Fund increased in Fiscal Year 12/13. In the Sewer
enterprise, the unrestricted fund balance was $1,384,609 and the restricted fund balance was $1,276,265. In
the Water enterprise, the unrestricted fund balance was $1,963,917 and the restricted fund balance was
$565,205.
Please read the Management Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 3 for an overview of the financial

AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
To:
Honorable Mayor and Council Members
From:
Alan Falleri, City Planner
Agenda Title: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO
WILLITS MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING MOBILE VENDORS
Type:
Presentation
Consent
Regular Agenda
Public Hearing
Urgent Time: 45 min.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Over the last couple of years, several issues regarding mobile food vendors
have been brought to the attention of City staff and City officials, and more recently, this matter has been
under review by the Revit-ED Committee. Because of some confusion in the regulations governing mobile
vendors, The Revit-ED committee has directed that new ordinance language be considered for regulating
mobile vendors within the City limits. While there were differing opinions expressed during the Revit-ED
deliberations, it was the general consensus of the Committee members that some limitations be placed on
mobile vendors to protect the interests of the “brick and mortar” business in town. The attached
memorandum dated April 30, 2014 to the Revit-ED Committee provides some background information that
provided a basis for the Committee’s review and recommendations.
At its April 14, 2014 meeting, the Committee recommended that the City Council direct staff to initiate the
following amendments to the Willits Municipal Code.
1. Delete existing Section 5.28.010 (both references).
2. Add new Section 5.28.010 “Peddler” definition. A person who sells merchandise, and wares including
edible goods and agricultural products from portable or stationary stands or vehicles, often by traveling to
different places such as along the street or from door to door; includes mobile vendor and mobile food
vendor.”
3. Add new Section 5.28.020. “It is unlawful for any peddler, mobile vender, mobile food vender or other
person selling or offering for sale any merchandise, goods or wares of any description from portable or
stationary stands or vehicles along or within 100 feet of Main Street, West Commercial Street or East
Commercial Street west of the railroad tracks except as provided in WMC Section 17.66.070(D)(7)(a).”
4. Add Section 17.04.1046 Mobile Vendor. Mobile Vendor shall mean any peddler or person or business that
sells merchandise, wares, edible goods or agricultural products from a temporary or non-stationary location.
The term ‘mobile vendor’ shall include mobile food vendor. ‘Temporary or non-stationary’ shall include but not
be limited to portable or temporary stands, self contained motorized vehicles, concession carts and concession
trailers. ‘Sell’ shall mean the act of exchanging a good for a profit or in return for a donation.”
5. Delete Section 17.66.070(D) because seasonal produce stands are being incorporated into the Mobile
Vendor sections below.
6. Change Section 17.66.070(E) to Section 17.66.070(D) and modify the text to read as follows:
(D) Peddlers and mobile vendors shall be permitted by the Planning Director upon approval of a
Zoning Permit application and shall be subject to the following requirements:
1. The Zoning Permit shall be issued for a maximum of one (1) year and subject to annual renewal.
2. All mobile vendors must possess and display a valid business license.
3. Mobile food vendors must also possess and display a valid license from the Mendocino County
Health Department.
4. Mobile food vendors may be operated on a parcel subject to an ongoing major construction project.
5. All mobile food vendors shall provide clearly designated trash and recycle receptacles.
6. All mobile vendors shall maintain their premises in conformance with requirements of the Little
Lake Fire Protection District.
7. No mobile vendors will be allowed along or within 100 feet of Main Street, West Commercial Street
or East Commercial Street west of the railroad tracks except in the instance where, during the
construction or renovation of a “brick and mortar” business, a property owner may operate as a mobile
vender which sells merchandise directly related to the permanent structure on the subject parcel.
a. EXCEPTIONS: Temporary sales of merchandise or edible goods by service clubs and nonprofit or charitable organizations (i.e., Girl Scout cookies, Rotary Club crab sales, school bake
sales, etc.) and individuals selling only local Mendocino County grown or harvested farm and
fish products in an unrefined state shall be exempt from the requirements of this Section.
8. All Mobile vendors shall be located outside of the City Street right-of-way unless an
Encroachment Permit is obtained, and shall be located on paved or all-weather gravel surfaces, no
closer than 15 feet from fire hydrants, 25 feet from fire lanes, and 50 feet from bus stops.
9. All mobile vendors shall be located in commercial or industrial zoned properties except they
may also be permitted when they are a bona-fide participant in a permitted special event. If they
are not part of a special event, they may not be located within 100 feet of a City Park when such a
special event is being held.
10. No mobile vendor is permitted to provide amplified or live music.
11. All mobile vendors shall maintain the premises in a neat and orderly manner at all times.
12. All mobile vendors shall occupy a location that does not disrupt the normal function of the site
or its circulation, and does not encroach upon driveways, or pedestrian walkways.
13. All mobile vendors shall be restricted to a single sign with a maximum sign area of six (6)
square feet. Any signs required by law are exempt from this restriction.
7. Change Section 17.66.070(F) to Section 17.66.070(E).
8. Change Section 17.66.070(G) to Section 17.66.070(F).
Recommended Action: Direct staff to initiate the process of amending the Willits Municipal Code as
recommended by the Revit-ED Committee on April 30, 2014.
Alternative(s): Direct staff to initiate the process of amending the Willits Municipal Code as recommended
by the Revit-ED Committee on April 30, 2014 with modifications as specified by the City Council.
Fiscal Impact: City costs would be associated with the staff time (est. 6-8 hours) needed to prepare the
amendments and related documents, including Agenda Summary, Staff Report, Resolution, and agenda
packets, and the cost of publishing a 1/8th page legal ad in the local newspaper ($209.21).
Personnel Impact: The City Planner, with oversight by the City Clerk and City Manager, will prepare the

WILLITS, C A 95490
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
REVIT-ED COMMITTEE
FROM:
ALAN FALLERI
SUBJECT:
MOBILE FOOD VENDORS
DATE:
04/30/14
Because of confusion regarding the regulations governing mobile vendors in the City, The RevitED committee has directed that new ordinance language be considered for regulating mobile
food trucks within the City limits. To date mobile food trucks have been treated as “Peddlers”
and regulated through the Business License process pursuant to Chapter 5.04 of the Willits
Municipal Code (WMC) which requires that any person doing business within the City limits
obtain a Business License from the City Finance Department.
Chapter 5.28 within the Business License chapter of the WMC regulates “Peddlers” as follows:
“It is unlawful for any person to sell or offer for sale any merchandise of any description from
either stationary or portable stands or from vehicles upon either Main or Commercial Streets, or
upon any side street within one block distant from either Main or Commercial Streets in the city.”
While “Peddler” is not clearly defined in the WMC, City Staff has used this section over the
years to regulate sales of goods and food from all temporary stands and vehicles.
Also, because there is no definition of “Block” or guidance on how to measure “one block distant
from either Main or Commercial Streets” and the length of blocks varies widely around town,
and in the interest of promoting business in the City, over the years staff developed a more
lenient interpretation of the “one block” distance. Staff applied the “one block” rule to allow a
peddler if their stand or vehicle was no closer to Main or Commercial Streets than the
surrounding “brick and mortar” businesses. This was felt to be in the spirit of the existing
regulations because it did not give unfair advantage of street exposure to the peddlers. Until
recently, that interpretation has been followed but has now come under question, and given the
incentive for the Revit-ED Committee to clarify the regulations.
In reviewing the City codes pertaining to mobile vendors it was discovered that the regulations
in Chapter 5.28 are not consistent with and the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, Chapter
17.66.070, which provides for “Temporary Land Uses” including mobile vendors as follows:
“Section 17.66.070 (E): Peddlers and hawkers shall be permitted business uses in all
zoning districts by the planning director. Further, such businesses shall:
1. Be permitted for no more than four nonconsecutive seven-day periods in a calendar
year:
2. Such uses shall be permitted to display signs only in accordance with the provisions
of the Willits sign ordinance.
After several rounds of discussion by the Committee, staff has attempted to capture the intent of
the Committee in the following recommendations for amending the WMC (Note: While the
Revit-ED Committee was focused on Mobile Food Trucks, because of the intertwined
regulations in the WMC, it seemed appropriate to try to address all the various types of mobile
vendors in this effort to clarify and simplify the regulations).
Recommended Amendments to the Willits Municipal Code:
1. Delete existing Section 5.28.010 (both references).
2. Add new Section 5.28.010 “Peddler definition. A person who sells merchandise, and wares
including edible goods and agricultural products from portable or stationary stands or vehicles,
often by traveling to different places such as along the street or from door to door; includes
mobile vendor and mobile food vendor.”
3. Add new Section 5.28.020. “It is unlawful for any peddler, mobile vender, mobile food
vender or other person selling or offering for sale any merchandise, goods or wares of any
description from portable or stationary stands or vehicles upon Main or Commercial Streets or
upon any site located within 100 feet of Main or Commercial Streets except as provided in WMC
Section 17.66.070(D)(7)(a).”
4. Add “Section 17.04.1046 Mobile Vendor. Mobile Vendor shall mean any peddler or person
or business that sells merchandise, wares, edible goods or agricultural products from a
temporary or non-stationary location. The term ‘mobile vendor’ shall include mobile food
vendor. ‘Temporary or non-stationary’ shall include but not be limited to portable or temporary
stands, self contained motorized vehicles, concession carts and concession trailers. ‘Sell’ shall
mean the act of exchanging a good for a profit or in return for a donation.”
5. Delete Section 17.66.070(D) because seasonal produce stands are being incorporated into
the Mobile Vendor sections below.
6. Change Section 17.66.070(E) to Section 17.66.070(D) and modify the text to read as follows:
(D) Peddlers and mobile vendors shall be permitted by the Planning Director upon approval
of a Zoning Permit application and shall be subject to the following requirements:
1. The Zoning Permit shall be issued for a maximum of one (1) year and subject to
annual renewal.

6. All mobile vendors shall maintain their premises in conformance with requirements of

7. No mobile vendors will be allowed within 100 feet of Main or Commercial Streets
except in the instance where, during the construction or renovation of a “brick and
mortar” business, a property owner may operate as a mobile vender which sells
merchandise directly related to the permanent structure on the subject parcel.
a. Exceptions: Temporary sales of merchandise or edible goods by service clubs
and non-profit or charitable organizations (i.e., Girl Scout cookies, Rotary Club crab
sales, school bake sales, etc.) and individuals selling only local Mendocino County
grown or harvested farm and fish products in an unrefined state shall be exempt from
the requirements of this Section.
8. All Mobile vendors shall be located outside of the City Street right-of-way unless an
Encroachment Permit is obtained, and shall be located on paved or all-weather gravel
surfaces, no closer than 15 feet from fire hydrants, 25 feet from fire lanes, and 50 feet
from bus stops.
9. All mobile vendors shall be located in commercial or industrial zoned properties
except they may also be permitted when they are a bona-fide participant in a permitted
special event. If they are not part of a special event, they may not be located within 100
feet of a City Park when such a special event is being held.
10. No mobile vendor is permitted to provide amplified or live music.
11. All mobile vendors shall maintain the premises in a neat and orderly manner at all
times.
12. All mobile vendors shall occupy a location that does not disrupt the normal function
of the site or its circulation, and does not encroach upon driveways, or pedestrian
walkways.
13. All mobile vendors shall be restricted to a single sign with a maximum sign area of
six (6) square feet. Any signs required by law are exempt from this restriction.
3
7. Change Section 17.66.070(F) to Section 17.66.070(E).
