Larry Rhoades read a letter from the Regional Water Quality Control Board dated October 6, 2023 - "Inadequate Industrial Waste Stream Treatment/Manager - the current wastewater treatment plant is designed and operated to effectively treat domestic waste, but not the industrial waste stream generated by the various documented industries operating within the prison. These Cal PIA industrial operations include meat packing, laundry, sewing and garment assembly, coffee roasting and lunch packing. There are several vocational training facilities on-site that generate industrial wastewater, including, janitorial training, welding and fabrication, vehicle maintenance, warehouse operations; and building maintenance which includes painting, carpentry, heating, ventilation, and Air Conditioning maintenance, and mechanical maintenance products. Data provided in CDCR's monitoring reports include that volatile organic compounds (VOC's) have been detected in the plant'se effluent, effluent storage reservoir, and groundwater underlying the storage reservoir and land applications areas." Jim Scully - commented on the October 6, 2023 letter from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, "The actual volume ofi industrial wastewater flow from the specific operations in unknown. These two Cal PIA industrial operations alone generate industrial waste stream volume that generates a significant volume of wastewater entering the onsite treatment plant. Toj properly treat all the constituents and ensure reliability of the treatment plant, the updated ROWD required by this order must propose to address the industrial and domestic waste streams by either segregating and treating the streams separately with the appropriate technology or upgrading the existing wastewater treatment train to treat for all  constituents in the combined waste stream."  Tommy Quinn:  The sound from the gun range at CalFire is causing issues for my dog. Iwant tol know who is going to stand up for this town and take on these State entities. Iti is not only CalFire that uses the gun range, but the Sheriff's Department, City of. Jackson, City of Ione and other entities.  G.I INFORMATION ITEMS: Information items - no action taken.  1.

Consider Submitting a Measure to the Voters of the City of] Ione at November 5, 2024, Municipal Election as to whether the Office oft the City Clerk should be changed from Elected to Appointed Official - City Attorney Andy Pinasco outlined the process to change the elected Clerk to an appointed Clerk-the City Council may place a question on the ballot whether the City Clerk should be an Ifthe voters should approve the measure, the City Council would be empowered to appoint the City Clerk upon expiration of their current term. Under Government Code Section 36510, the City Council may, at al later date, adopt an ordinance vesting in the City Manager the authority to appoint the City Clerk. The appointed Ifthe majority of voters vote "no" on the question, then the position will remain elected, and the City cannot submit another ballot measure regarding the appointment oft the City Clerk for at least eleven (11) months. The City Council must hold an election to fill the City Clerk position at the end of each term.  appointive office.  City Clerk will serve at the pleasure of the City Council.  Public Comment:  Mitzi Windley -I do not understand why you wanting to be appointed rather than elected. Ithink we should have the free will to elect just like you are elected and want to know why you want to appoint someone and not leave it as elected. We are: not allowed to answer you under public comment. Jody Maita - strongly encourage the Council tol leave the Clerk as an elected position. It has been that way for some time, Idon't feel comfortable with an appointed position because sometime personalities and agendas can come along the way and influence decisions, sO let the people ofIone decide. Andy Aguilera who would appoint that position. The wrong person can get his friend in there and then we would be in a mess. What happens ift the appointed clerk and the elected clerk wins-what happens? Ift the appointed position wins and the clerk wins-t the appointed clerk would trump the elected clerk. Larry Rhoades - the three Councilmembers want to get the control of the clerk. She knows SO much about the City, she has been longer than any ofyou and has done more for the City that any of you. This is crazy.    Agenda Item #I1  Gary Thomas leave it the way itis. Itl has been going well for a long time. I know that it is not the person ini it, this is about the job that is being done. You must look at the person that isi ini it and say that there is some good that comes out ofl longevity. Ican remember times when we had questions, and Janice' 's experience and knowledge goes way back, and the historical knowledge of what happened in this community is paramount for a lot of things. She has served well the citizens ofl Ione even as temporary City Administrator, and has done a good job. The citizens of Ione get to figure out who they want for City Clerk the same way they vote you people in. Jim Scully don't want to bore you by repeating what was previously said, but virtually every syllable that these people have said goes for me three times. I object to the wording, "shall this be an elected position or appointed."Iv would like words "elected by the people and then appointed by the Council" be added for clarification. Do not do this it is moronic. After discussion by Mayor LaFayne, Vice Mayor Wratten and Councilmember Atlan, they recommended that this item be continued and brought back with the additional information as previously requested, the analysis from staff; and the additional cost for adding the Measure to the  General Election.

FISCAL IMPACT: None BACKGROUND:  The appropriations limit was approved by California voters inl November 1979 as Proposition 4 (the Gann Initiative) and added to the California State Constitution as Article XIII B. In 1980, the State Legislature added Division 9 (commencing with Section 7900) to TitleIoft the Government Code to implement Article XIII B. This legislation required the governing body of each local jurisdiction in California to establish an appropriations limit (also referred to as the Gann Limit) on or before June 30 of each year for the following fiscal year. The appropriations limit is based on actual appropriations during the FY 1986-87 and adjusted each year using  population and inflation adjustment factors.  DISCUSSION:  In May of2024, the California State Department of Finance (DOF) notified the local jurisdictions of the population and price data for use in the appropriations limit calculation for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25. Based on said documentation from the DOF, the percentage change inj population for the City of Ione is -0.06%. The per capita personal income change forl FY 2024-25is3 3.62% over prior year. In the calculation oft the annual limit, the prior year's appropriation limit is adjusted using the percentage change inj population and the per capita personal income change, see attached calculations. The 2024-25 calculated appropriations limit  for. June 30, 2025 is $5,851.252. ATTACHMENTS:  A.
