Tim Belton, who said he owns Springfield Nursery and Gardens, described a plan to permit up to four vehicles per night in a portion of his lot for properly equipped guests, with restrictions against tents and fires and with sanitation and safety oversight. “This is a chance to capture more overnighters due to more options,” Belton said, adding that properly managed off‑street sites could reduce street‑side encampments and give the city more ability to enforce sanitation and safety rules.

Belton proposed the city consider modest compensation or utility fee reductions for property owners who offer approved spaces; he also suggested the city could run a dedicated municipal lot for a similar purpose. He said private owners could be encouraged through a permitting process and that the city should monitor sanitation, fire safety and nuisance issues.

Councilmembers did not take action but asked staff to note the idea for future policy discussion and permitting analysis. The council’s staff packet did not include an agenda item on mobile lodging; Belton’s remarks were received as public comment only.

Belton left the council with contact information and a written summary for staff review. Other public speakers at the meeting also urged creative approaches to tourism capacity and housing, but no regulatory proposals were introduced during the session.","A Mount Shasta nursery owner asked council to allow limited off‑street overnight stays (mobile lodging) in private parking areas and suggested permitting and small utility fee reductions to encourage safe, off‑street options for van/camper overnight guests.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6388178,"Mount Shasta begins interim chlorination after intermittent coliform detections; three weeks of negatives needed before ending treatment",190,1977000,2167000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2115208-2a8dd328e67741192e2cb397c6b35877&start=1977&end=2167","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2115208-2a8dd328e67741192e2cb397c6b35877/thumbnail_1977000.jpg","/articles/6388178/Mount-Shasta/Siskiyou-County/California/Mount-Shasta-begins-interim-chlorination-after-intermittent-coliform-detections-three-weeks-of-negatives-needed-before-ending-treatment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6388178-633a255725cd5f905acffd92d3536c2e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775852412&Signature=WidYbcuumwLdmBvmYEO4EkZK7w2TDUPbDMyRz67M1ZUEQ32SK1AqYeY8Eajt4T0uik4qTRw1MUWncMmSOoIRqibR9bY6VpPmrpcBQULTmQmY0IpZ5ENebixfRFfdogVJwUWsGLN-Ty8XgPPbsTGkO~rLrS9nAc~vrDzS51UC~J53pTtGNUnGOOANpr55gLUk7MlMsopKGijOTnUZ1rSVwZr1CwbnLKT6Jr6vzO-MCCcK02dWisAfAJpzMuz5DwxH7aY8RilcV38px3V~XJTW11ugREFBKg71CrQYRHHCfYm3IFITqXK5CqED9xo3w-K5Wqh-4xreIkyGYermGg2NOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mount Shasta’s water system was placed on an interim chlorination protocol after routine weekly testing in late November detected low levels of coliform organisms, city public‑works staff told the city council on Jan. 13.

Ken (last name not stated), speaking for the city’s water department, said the detections were for coliform bacteria but not for E. coli. As required by state guidance, the city began chlorination and will stop only after it has three consecutive weeks of negative samples. “At this point we’re two weeks in, … this week we sent samples down today. We should know by Wednesday,” he told the council.

Department staff said detected levels have been very low and that the city is working with the State Water Resources Control Board (Division of Drinking Water) to investigate possible causes. Seasonal conditions — snowpack and frozen access in the watershed — have limited field investigations. Staff said they plan to continue sampling and execute an on‑site investigation as conditions allow.

Councilmembers asked for updates on results; the public‑works representative said the city expects to have a three‑week negative run before discontinuing chlorination, and will provide an update when laboratory results are received.

The council did not take formal action; staff reported the matter as operational and said it will return with test results and follow‑up findings.","City public‑works staff said weekly tests detected coliform organisms in the water system in late November; the city began chlorination and will continue until three consecutive negative tests are received, with results expected midweek.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6388182,"County, city and recreation groups seek long‑term funding to keep Everett Memorial Highway and Castle Lake open",507,2373000,2880000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2115208-2a8dd328e67741192e2cb397c6b35877&start=2373&end=2880","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2115208-2a8dd328e67741192e2cb397c6b35877/thumbnail_2373000.jpg","/articles/6388182/Mount-Shasta/Siskiyou-County/California/County-city-and-recreation-groups-seek-longterm-funding-to-keep-Everett-Memorial-Highway-and-Castle-Lake-open","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6388182-adb2f5a830340cdca833d8e9b87b2afd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775852412&Signature=XATcuw7uinTpEGVdbe0nGL22BPizx9vs27Id0ZAqVfDKwArmanhJPtTMvZ8~6YAo5kzYpYPZQqSWtTeo9FUHQhD1NYIEOdgeaUFZQLRzUJP627baSCWP6UC-NJ5UldZJdl1bISEo9Q2d8rH2eNwVuw6WmYAb14O18VxkcpfqBVobztjXL784LbWohOPBLVrvZuXyx5Gdu8VQUhNlUP2ulmJzrf6IdCnDJY5UkgGFWlKF5jFxiMXBRDxQY4EWp33H8UVE4bBA0VZyhSDYWAqWBBRpvSMBCGQIhNrPVSp4YcwB9sGH3C-bTRcBz3Cx2ZTqBKJfHYvjP1C-Psv3puIxgw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Siskiyou County public‑works officials told the Mount Shasta City Council Jan. 13 that plowing Everett Memorial Highway and Castle Lake has become a recurring fiscal and operational strain and that the county needs partner funding or operational help to maintain reliable seasonal access.

District 2 Supervisor Ed Valenzuela and County Public Works Director Tom Deeney said the county spends roughly $200,000 a season on the two routes and that plowing them is low priority compared with residential and commercial streets. “We spend in excess of $200,000 on average to plow both roads,” Valenzuela said, and Deeney added that the routes are often the last the county can service during major storms because residential safety is prioritized.

Deeney described operational constraints: extreme drifts, rock slides buried by snow, breakdowns of snow‑removal equipment and long staff hours. He said the county recently purchased a new plow, but that snow‑removal work “is the hardest thing you can do with any public road or public works equipment” and that equipment and staffing are stretched.

Councilmembers and business representatives said timely openings are important for Mount Shasta’s tourism economy, especially holiday weekends and ski‑season peaks. Several councilmembers pressed county staff for concrete cost estimates for partial city contributions; Deeney said county finance staff are preparing scenarios and he expected to report back with numbers. Supervisor Valenzuela encouraged creative options, including a joint powers agreement, a city contribution to hire extra seasonal operators, pooled equipment purchase or a public‑private funding approach.

Representatives of local recreation and business groups told the council they would join a stakeholder meeting to explore funding and operational options. Renee Kasterlein of the Siskiyou Outdoor Recreation Alliance said SORA is “really invested” in helping find long‑term solutions. Community members at public comment suggested ideas including a nonprofit to chase grants, modest user fees or volunteer support; several urged shared responsibility rather than pointing fingers at a single jurisdiction.

County officials said they will convene a stakeholders meeting (tentatively Feb. 12) that will include the county, city, forest service, business representatives and recreation groups to vet funding scenarios and equipment options. Deeney said the county will provide a projected cost schedule for various intervention levels so partners can evaluate the fiscal tradeoffs.

Councilmembers emphasized the economic stake for Mount Shasta and asked for clear budget scenarios before pledging city funds. No formal council commitment to new funding was made at the meeting; the council asked staff to participate in the Feb. 12 stakeholder meeting and to evaluate options for a potential city contribution.","Siskiyou County officials warned ongoing plowing of Everett Memorial Highway and Castle Lake is costly and resource‑intensive; county staff asked the city and local partners to consider funding, joint procurement or other long‑term arrangements to ensure timely seasonal openings for tourism.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6388185,"Mount Shasta council declares ‘The Landing’ surplus, moves to notify state under Surplus Lands Act",238,6542000,6780000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2115208-2a8dd328e67741192e2cb397c6b35877&start=6542&end=6780","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2115208-2a8dd328e67741192e2cb397c6b35877/thumbnail_6542000.jpg","/articles/6388185/Mount-Shasta/Siskiyou-County/California/Mount-Shasta-council-declares-The-Landing-surplus-moves-to-notify-state-under-Surplus-Lands-Act","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6388185-e0f51586676eb917fa93bf92c1b36783/orig.mp4?Expires=1775852412&Signature=ThoeL8aIiYz3cEXbcYeUIsFuHL7OtCqVJhYEcva2rtfmu08JarSb15HwOVg7Em08z~Dxmzl32EA-cP6kIG0RRSUOU3FlAKKaQrEffLhkocAt5Rur6YCN-I3N7CpRl5eazT5fQnn67R9MJfwd1USa-9094F44BbztFkhlcuSm3hKlb7KeZAh0EtEaTpYWrRvVNZvNXFTxr6PhbPjhQlsSQ4-nLfcl4OPgD5zOlhoDcZJcn~CMPXVaV7LQIJ7mkf-jipf8pxVQAQTffzJv8UDOCXfoYV2r8oaIktJ7uAqvCMbWRO2kxaBLrEFHMCDSGhUyV~owr04AGqDcgEuG3Eoquw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mount Shasta City Council voted Jan. 13 to declare three city-owned parcels known collectively as “The Landing” surplus and to submit the notice required under California’s Surplus Lands Act, a procedural step that begins a 60‑day availability window for affordable‑housing developers. The council also designated portions of the parcels as exempt from the act because recorded restrictions preclude housing on those specific areas.

City Planner Jeff Mitchell told the council declaring the parcels surplus is the “first thing” required by state law to qualify the site for housing, recreation or school uses and to trigger formal outreach to developers under rules enforced by the state Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). “By this action, you’re going to designate those three landing parcels,” Mitchell said, noting that some areas already are encumbered by environmental covenants that will be recorded as legal restrictions.

The action sends the city’s findings to HCD and starts a 60‑day notice of availability; if developers express interest the city would enter a 90‑day good‑faith negotiation period. Mitchell estimated that much of the original 93.45 acres identified in staff materials will be reduced after site‑suitability analysis (wetlands, soils, slope and fire‑severity constraints), and said a realistic buildable area might be on the order of roughly 27 to 34 acres. Using planning‑stage density assumptions he outlined, that could translate to a very wide range of potential housing units, with required percentages of deed‑restricted units depending on whether final disposal falls inside or outside the Surplus Lands Act process.

The council resolution directs staff to prepare and submit the required notice and authorizes the city manager to take the steps needed to comply with the Surplus Lands Act. The resolution also declared the council’s action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the purpose of initiating the surplus‑land process.

Mitchell and councilmembers emphasized that further technical work — a formal suitability analysis, final mapping of covenants and environmental constraints — will follow before any sale or development is finalized. Mayor John Redmond and other councilmembers asked that staff ensure accuracy on wetlands mapping and on final acreages before submitting materials to the state.

Next steps identified by staff include completing the suitability analysis, recording the known environmental covenant, submitting the notice of availability to HCD and convening follow‑up conversations with interested developers and agencies. Mitchell said the city will refine the usable acreage and provide updated unit estimates as the technical work proceeds.","City council voted to declare three Landing parcels surplus and to submit a Notice of Availability under California’s Surplus Lands Act, starting a process that could lead to affordable housing proposals or other development on portions of the site.","actionData","errors"]
