April will be here before we know it and that means blue ribbons and Child Abuse Prevention Month

Each year we request our local City Councils and Boards of Supervisors to proclaim April as Child Abuse Prevention Month in support of Casa and our communities because we believe that together we can make a difference. A sample proclamation attached.

Casa will be distributing blue ribbons throughout Yuba, Sutter and Colusa counties. Help us be a positive force in a child’s life. Please wear a blue ribbon throughout the month of April as your commitment to end the suffering of children and to support agencies that carry on the fight every day.

We appreciate the support of the Live Oak City Council and each member as we continue striving for every child’s safety.

If you would like additional information regarding child abuse, our Safe, Strong and Free program or any of Casa’s other services, please feel free to contact us at (530) 674-5400.

Child Abuse Prevention MonthApril 2020

WHEREAS, the tragedy of child abuse and neglect affects every community in California and touches the lives of far too many citizens regardless of cultural, ethnic, religious or socioeconomic level; and

WHEREAS, the threat to our children’s welfare is demonstrated by steady increases in the number and in the seriousness of reported cases of child abuse and neglect; and

WHEREAS, if our children are to be productive adults, they should have the right to a childhood free from neglect, physical abuse, sexual molestation and exploitation; and

WHEREAS, it is recognized that primary prevention programs designed to work with children themselves, their parents and care givers within the community are successful in preventing first time abuse situations; and

WHEREAS, early identification and intervention are essential to successfully interrupting the generational cycle of abuse and neglect. Collaboration among professionals, concerned parents, volunteers and policy makers can help reduce the level of child abuse and neglect in our communities; and

WHEREAS, dedicated volunteers and professionals are working to decrease the incidence of child abuse through prevention programs and coordination among agencies delivering services to child abuse victims and their families; and

WHEREAS, the observance of Child Abuse Prevention Month provides an excellent opportunity for all citizens to reflect on this tragic crime, while rededicating themselves to taking an active role in child abuse prevention activities in their community.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Live Oak, California does hereby proclaim April 2020 as Child Abuse Prevention Month in the City of Live Oak and encourages all residents to join with local community efforts in keeping all children “Safe, Strong, and Free”.

Dated this 1st day of April, 2020.

Background: Live Oak, along with other jurisdictions in the Yuba-Sutter region, haveexperienced a significant increase in camping and storage of personalproperty in unauthorized areas.

Sutter County has faced numerous encampments along the Feather River,especially from the Second Street boat dock to Shanghai Bend. Sinceadopting this ordinance, Sutter County and the City's neighboringjurisdictions have begun the slow process of removing and cleaning up theseencampments. These efforts are creating a migration of people looking foralternate locations to stay.

In the past couple of months, phone calls to Code Enforcement havesignificantly increased regarding people camping on various public andprivate properties in Live Oak. Staff believe this is a result of the City'sneighbors enforcing this Ordinance, and the City's lack of Ordinance.

There is an immediate need to clarify the definitions of prohibited conductrelated to prohibitions against unauthorized camping and the unauthorizedstorage of personal property on private and public property. The addition ofChapter 8.28 to the Live Oak Municipal Code will provide constitutionalsafeguards for all persons and to enable effective and timely enforcement ofthese prohibitions.

Without an ordinance related to unauthorized camping and storage ofpersonal property, the City has been unable to clearly identify what is or isnot allowed and has not allowed staff to adequately safeguard all residentsfrom health and safety concerns caused by these activities.

Live Oak, along with Sutter County, Yuba County, and the cities of YubaCity, Marysville and Wheatland, various non-profit and faith-basedorganizations are working together to enhance and coordinate all aspects ofintervention activities and enforcement response to the hazardous conditionscreated by unpermitted camping and storage of personal property in areasthat are not appropriate or safe to conduct those activities. The proposedordinance reflects an essential part of the overall effort to protect allresidents from these hazardous conditions.

Fiscal Impacts: None Anticipated

Recommendation: Adopt the ordinance entitled "An Ordinance of the City of Live Oak Addinga New Chapter 8.28 (Camping and Storage of Personal Property on Privateand Public Property) to Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the City of Live OakMunicipal Code".

ORDINANCE NO. ________________

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LIVE OAK ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 8.28 (CAMPING AND STORAGE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY ON PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PROPERTY) TO TITLE 8 (HEALTH AND SAFETY) OF THE

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVE OAK ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Live Oak, hereby finds and declares the following:

(A) Recently neighboring jurisdictions including Sutter County, City of Marysville, and Yuba County have adopted a Camping and Storage of Personal Property on Private and Public Property Ordinance; and

(B) Camping and storage of personal property on private and public property is an increasing problem in and around Live Oak; and

(C) The City of Live Oak wishes to maintain consistency with our neighboring jurisdictions and take action to provide a clear ordinance to the issue.

CHAPTER 8.28 – CAMPING AND STORAGE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY ON PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PROPERTY

8.28.010 – DECLARATION OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT – PURPOSE

The purpose of this chapter is to maintain streets, parks, waterways, and other public and private property within the City in a clean, sanitary, and accessible condition and to promote the public health, safety, and welfare of the community.

8.28.020 – FINDINGS

The City Council finds that the unauthorized use of certain areas for camping purposes and the storage of personal property interferes with the rights of others to use the areas for which they were intended and creates a public health and safety hazard that adversely affects residential and commercial areas.

The City Council further finds that camping or storing personal property near the high-water mark of waterways poses a serious risk to the quality of the waterways and the health and safety of citizens using the waterways and results in abandoned, unattended, or unsecured property polluting the waterways during high water flows.

The City Council further finds that camping or storing personal property on, upon, or within a 50-foot clear zone of the landside toe of the levees that protect the City of Live Oak and its residents from flooding poses a threat to the public health, safety, and welfare by compromising the integrity of the levee system which could result in a catastrophic failure of the levee protections.

The City Council further finds that abandoned, unattended, or unsecured personal property especially such property which is a biological or health hazard creates pollution and adversely affects waterways, residential areas, and commercial areas and the health, safety and welfare of the people who live, work, and visit the City.

The City Council further finds that unsanitary conditions and premises that contain an accumulation of junk, trash, debris, dead organic matter, offal, stagnant water, rodent harborages, or biological hazards are injurious to the health, safety, and welfare of the people who live, work, and visit the City and such conditions have a significant potential to cause economic or physical injury to persons and property.

The City Council further finds that camping or storing personal property on private property without the consent of the owner adversely affects private property rights as well as the health, safety, and welfare of the owner and the public generally.

8.28.030 – APPLICATION

This chapter shall apply generally to all property throughout the City Limits of the City wherein any of the conditions herein specified are found to exist. Any condition or conduct that would constitute a violation of this chapter, but which is permitted or authorized under any City ordinance or state or federal law, shall not constitute a violation of this chapter.

8.28.040 – DEFINITIONS 25

Staff is recommending that the Lifeguard position andAdministrative Aide position be brought up to the the proposed Stateminimum wage that will start in January 1, 2021 of $13.00 per hour. Staff isalso recommending to keep the current $1.00 per hour separation in startingwage between the Head Lifeguard and Lifeguard positions. Thus the HeadLifeguard starting hourly range will begin at $14.00 per hour. There will befive steps in each range with 5.0% between each step.

Currently, the ranges for the positions in question are as follows:

Administrative Aide: $11.00 per hr. to $12.00 per hr.Lifeguard: $11.00 per hr. to $12.00 per hr.Head Lifeguard: $12.00 per hr. to 15.00 per hr.

Administrative Aide 13.000 13.650 14.333 15.049 15.802Lifeguard 13.000 13.650 14.333 15.049 15.802Head Lifeguard 14.000 14.700 15.435 16.207 17.017

Fiscal Impacts: Unknown at this time due to the COVID-19 Virus closing down all non-essential City operations. The FY 2020-21 budget will address these newranges and will be in next year's budget.

Title: Introduction of an Ordinance of the City of Live Oak Amending the LiveOak Municipal Code by Adding Chapter 9.44 Pertaining to DangerousFireworks and Chapter 9.48 Pertaining to Safe and Sane Fireworks

Contact Information: (Alison Schmidt, Management Analyst)

Location: City Wide

Background: The City of Live Oak has seen an increase in the use of illegal fireworksover the past several years. The use of illegal fireworks has extended beyondthe traditional Independence Day and New Year’s Eve celebrations andhas become a year round nuisance.

In 2018, Sutter County adopted a Dangerous Fireworks Ordinance to helpcombat the continued use of illegal fireworks. Sutter County FireDepartment and Sutter County Sheriff’s Office Live Oak Substationhave both requested that the City of Live Oak follow suit to maintainconsistent enforcement of dangerous fireworks in the Live Oak/SutterCounty region. Also included for Council review is an AdministrativeCitation that will be used by enforcement officials.

In addition to the Dangerous Fireworks section, staff is also adding a Safeand Sane Fireworks section to clarify not only the allowable use of Safe andSane Fireworks, but to provide clear rules for the permitting, installation anduse of temporary fireworks booths during the Independence Day season.This section is meant to codify what has been general practice by staff, withminimal change to past practice. A notable change is the limit on the numberof fireworks booths allowed. Current practice has no limit on the number ofbooths. This ordinance will limit booths to one booth per 2,000 populationwhich would currently allow for five booths, and a lottery system whenapplications exceed the allowable number of booths. Staff does not recallapplications for more than five booths in recent memory.

Staff recommends Council waive the first reading of the ordinance entitled“An Ordinance of The City Of Live Oak Amending The Live OakMunicipal Code By Adding Chapter 9.44 Pertaining To DangerousFireworks And Chapter 9.48 Pertaining To Safe And Sane Fireworks†.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LIVE OAK AMENDING THE LIVE OAK MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING CHAPTER 9.44 PERTAINING TO DANGEROUS FIREWORKS AND CHAPTER 9.48 PERTAINING TO SAFE AND

SANE FIREWORKS

FINDINGS:

The City Council of the City of Live Oak, hereby finds and declares the following:

(A) Dangerous fireworks are a concern to the City of Live Oak for several reasons. First,dangerous fireworks are often stored without safety precautions in residential neighborhoods. Second, dangerous fireworks can be disassembled for the explosive powder they contain to make bombs and other explosive devices. Third, dangerous fireworks often come from areas where safety regulations for making fireworks are not as stringent as those for fireworks manufactured in the United States.

(B) It is well established that illegal fireworks lead to hazardous situations, injuries, personal property loss, and fires, that jeopardize the safety of the public and increase the cost of law enforcement and fire protection. Moreover, because of Live Oak’s geographical location, the City and the surrounding areas are subject to extreme fire hazards and long volatile fire seasons, making the illegal fireworks activities even more dangerous to all citizens of the City, not just the ones possessing and using the fireworks.

(C) The City of Live Oak wishes to maintain consistency with our neighboring jurisdictions and take action to provide a clear ordinance to the issue.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVE OAK ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: Chapter 9.44 Dangerous Fireworks is hereby added to Title 9 (Public Peace Morals and Welfare) of the City of Live Oak Municipal Code to read as follows:
