I've lined up a local tree pruner to prune my apple tree and inquired as to whether they could prune the apple tree on the island on city property directly in front of my house. That tree is a mess, has been neglected for years and looks terrible when defoliated. I would have this done at my The tree expense. service indicated their willingness to do the job iflonce the City of Loyalton grants approval Time is of the essence for this project as area trees will begin budding and flowering soon. Undoubtedly, there are legal issues such a liability. Maybe the tree service would sign a liability waiver? Thanks.

BACKGROUND: California Government Code Section 65400 ("Section 65400") requires cities and counties to submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) to the State by April 1 of each year. The Code requires the City Council to conduct public review of the report, consider public comments, and approve the report prior to submittal. APRs must be submitted to two State agencies: the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The APRs describe each jurisdiction's progress in implementing the housing elements of their General Plans and shows the City's accomplishments toward meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)!. . Filing these reports also qualifies the City for various State grants, such as the Housing Related Parks (HRP) program and Building Homes and Jobs Act funds. The RHNA is a State gudelmne/obyective directed to local governments to help improve housing production to accommodate various family income levels based on local housing needs/characteristics: However, since the City is not a housing developer, the City is not obligated to produce these units. This report, which is electronically formatted for filing on-line with HCD provides an update on the City's progress in implementing the Housing Element during 2023. The report describes the City's accomplishments through the end of calendar year. This also tracks housing objectives that need to be followed in the Housing Element that was certified by HCD ion April 20, 2021. The RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) is mandated by State Housing Law as part of the periodic proçess of updating local housing elements of the General Plan. It includes housing production objectives according to income level for each jurisdiction. 1 current Housing Element is in compliance for the 6th Housing Cycle, through August 31, 2024. All programs identified are from this updated Housing Element. As required by State law, the City Council needs to approve the report before it is filed with HCD. Each annual report has a variety oft tables with required information regarding whether dwelling unit production resulted in income levels ofhousing, such as very-low, low, moderate, or above moderate income housing units. For 2023, the City did not increase housing production. The most important part oft the reports is Table D which lists all programs and accomplishments from the Housing Element. Although the City has experienced very limited housing production over the years, there have been significant accomplishments made in the last year to improve housing production potential, such as update of the Housing Element and Zoning Code to bring the City into compliance with current State Housing law and preparation of the flooding study that provides a program to improve flood mitigation in the City to reduce constraints to future housing development. These were completed with State grants. 7th Cycle Housing Element Update: The current 6th Housing Cycle for Loyalton expires August 31, 2024. For the City to remain in compliance with Housing Law, the City will need to update their Housing Element for the 7th Cycle by September 1, 2024. However, due to the number State housing laws, the cost of preparing an update is prohibitively expensive; many consultant charging over $100,000 to complete. Also due to new HCD practices and expectations, the time to complete a housing element update with certification takes a minimum of9 months to complete. This is particularly problematic when the City cannot expand its housing supply due to water system limitation. Gary is working on a Housing Element update with Sierra County, and once complete, much of this information could be used to prepare a more cost-effective Housing Element for Loyalton. But, for the time being, the City will be out of compliance with State Housing law until the document is completed and certified by HCD.
