Fire Chief Steve Wakefield (speaker listed in the meeting as chief) and Police Chief Carey told the council their departments staffed for the holiday, carried out patrols and enforcement, and saw fewer large-firework incidents than in past years. Chief Carey said officers “seized six” illegal fireworks and issued warnings; he said the department did not mandate citations for those initial contacts but did seize the devices. Carey also noted work with the Chamber of Commerce, the sheriff’s office and public-works staff on planning and street closures.

Council members and staff praised public-works crews and volunteers for the parade and deck-party logistics. Chief Carey said most events went smoothly but identified a notable parade incident: an individual who performed three burnouts during the parade was detained and will receive a citation that will be mailed, and the case may be forwarded to the district attorney. Carey described that conduct as hazardous and said the department took enforcement action in that case.

Fire personnel reported continued work into the early morning hours on holiday-related calls; Chief Wakefield said volunteers and engines were mobilized and that crews addressed multiple small fires and other incidents. Staff also reported one large explosion call that was investigated and determined to be unfounded after officer contact with residents in the area.

Council discussion also raised the city’s beach-fire rules. Some members asked staff to review the fire ordinance language and enforcement at Battery Point and nearby areas to clarify where fires are permitted in designated fire rings and where they are prohibited.

The council and staff thanked volunteers, police, fire and public-works staff for planning and response.","City leaders said the July 4 weekend was quieter after combined messaging and planning.

City Manager described the city's use since December 2023 of an out-of-area contract HR service and said that arrangement had been effective but lacked the local presence and day-to-day attention the city needs. The council directed staff at a prior budget workshop to recruit for an in-house HR position; staff proposed creating two positions in position control — an HR analyst (budgeted for the current fiscal year) and an HR manager (to be recruited if needed). The manager position would be a confidential unrepresented classification because the incumbent would participate in labor negotiations and should not be part of the represented bargaining units.

City Manager said the analyst salary at step 3 is included in the current-year budget and that if the city hires the manager the increased salary would be a future-year budget consideration. Staff also explained a planned overlap with the contracted HR service for approximately four months to allow for transition. The council voted unanimously to adopt both resolutions.

The council directed staff to proceed with recruitment immediately. The contract HR firm has indicated it will fill the city's spot on short notice as the city moves to a different model.

The council's recorded votes were: Dooley — yes; Marino — yes; Tinkler — yes; Mayor Pro Tem Wright — yes; Mayor Altman — yes.","The council adopted two resolutions creating an HR analyst and HR manager position in position control, and set wages, benefits, and working conditions for an unrepresented confidential HR role; the analyst was budgeted and the manager will be recruited if needed.",{"_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},6520552,"Council adopts reserve police officer ordinance to create municipal reserve program",366,814000,1180000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5322921-8f7e1247e41c3ca6017a7845bbb29e23&start=814&end=1180","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5322921-8f7e1247e41c3ca6017a7845bbb29e23/thumbnail_814000.jpg","/articles/6520552/Crescent-City/Del-Norte-County/California/Council-adopts-reserve-police-officer-ordinance-to-create-municipal-reserve-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520552-1bba6177cfeac0d51f13a7fd87ca6867/orig.mp4?Expires=1771182261&Signature=CgsPOOBOK7sIDXMz1pjHd-RVMAKXy-8p7UibLPabe7CFMwKU2UKj5Lbg2ySrXl2AO5rmrfF~X7GXjssv646L5tbOhgVgS9lHkEPnaqgr5jsxpYjks9U8o-5vK-PAcLEMoRY4Grqjs3jcBNe1Jaci6XkLWHplGVBk5aFyMJQq2psqh92ixLR9E4oiHyvoMmxEc1Jhe-VUj-NMlhtSK1IPQfXxiCxMZo5pCkQA19BFIo4cJ8zXpyv7b-8u81fC4sc7E~6zUGXExdt5Z1DkrO-OcFlqQH7ZGMN~TFxx1x63q6yrRsJLZEZoJrNKWmtYwf5-~HfZZDHLwU8UpjK6TLxnag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Crescent City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 857 on July 7, adding section 2.40.05 to the municipal code to establish a reserve police officer program. The ordinance authorizes volunteers to serve as reserve officers, requires a minimum volunteer commitment of 16 hours per month for assignments such as special events, and requires the city to provide workers’ compensation, equipment and supplies for reserves.

City Attorney Rice presented the item and said the ordinance will “set forth standards, and guidelines for a reserve police officer program” and, if adopted, would become effective in 30 days. Police Chief Carey clarified operational details: reserves will not be used as the first call to cover overtime for regular officers. Instead, the department will use the normal list of regular officers for overtime coverage and, only if regular officers are unavailable, will call reserves.

Chief Carey said reserve officers can be certified at varying levels that determine duties and supervision, and that all reserves would complete the department’s field-training process. He explained that a “level 1” reserve must complete the full field training program, currently 17 weeks, while higher-level reserves have different supervision and assignment rules. Carey noted one candidate will have limited duties until required training modules are completed, and another candidate is already prepared to provide support.

Council members expressed support, saying the program provides additional coverage for events and vacancies and can help officers retain certification. The council waived full reading, read Ordinance No. 857 by title only and adopted the ordinance. The ordinance will be effective 30 days after adoption unless otherwise specified.

Director Yeager, presenting the project, said the low bid of $179,000 included an additive for new downspouts and gutters. He told the council the existing asphalt roof, installed in 2015, had hundreds of “very pinhole sized holes related to seagull damage,” and that the project will replace the roof membrane with a standing-seam metal roof intended to last 30 to 50 years. Yeager said the city’s initial budget had been $240,000 and that staff requested $275,000 in a workshop; the bid returned “about $179,000,” which he described as below the budgeted maximum.

The council was told the pool will close for a consecutive 16-day period to allow removal of old roofing and installation of the new roof. Yeager said the primary unknowns are the condition of the underlying plywood sheathing and a sagging section of roof; the scope of sheathing replacement cannot be known until the roofing is stripped off. “Some of the sheeting is rotted. We have no way of knowing how much,” he said. Staff included a contingency and bid item allowances for sheathing replacement and said liquidated damages and contract scheduling provisions are included should the work extend beyond targeted days.

Council members asked about the spread in bid prices and whether local contractors had bid; Yeager said location and travel costs likely increased some bids and that the city’s per-square pricing expectations were in line with the returned numbers. He also said materials are expected to be available in roughly three to four weeks after ordering, and staff hopes to start late August, weather permitting.

The contract includes authorization for the city manager to execute the construction contract and sign change orders up to $25,000. The council voted unanimously to approve the plans and contract and to authorize the change-order cap.

Public notice and customer service steps during the closure will include social media updates, email to the pool user list, extension of annual passes by the length of the closure, and use of the closure period for lifeguard training where possible. Staff said they will announce the contractor start date and the exact closure dates after contract execution.

Action items associated with this agenda item appear in the council vote record and the meeting minutes.","The council approved plans and a $179,000 contract with Red Sky Roofing to replace the Fred Endert Pool roof, authorized up to $25,000 in change orders, and set a planned 16-day pool closure for the work. Unknown quantities of rotted sheathing could extend the closure.","actionData","errors"]
