The largest award is from the State Water Board for water distribution system improvements, a project staff expects to begin shortly. Transportation grants include a STIP-funded Lake Street planning project and Safe Streets for All work. Staff said three projects are scheduled to complete in fiscal year 2025–26, with the water distribution work likely to be the most substantial.

During the grants discussion, staff described reallocation of remaining visitor-center and City Hall grant funds toward more pressing needs. The visitor-center scope will keep the facility improvements but defer paving of an associated lot in favor of roof repairs; remaining funds are being proposed to support parking improvements and work on the newly acquired Chestnut property. Staff said the senior snow-removal CDBG contract is going out to bid Sept. 17 and noted possible future rounds of CDBG funding.

Why it matters: Grants are a major revenue source for capital improvements and program support; the city is managing a portfolio of multi-year projects with different timelines and reporting requirements. Council asked for finance and audit committee review on particular allocations and for staff to return with budget adjustments where needed.

What comes next: Staff will continue grant administration, pursue necessary reallocations and return to council when changes to scope or budget adjustments are required.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","09/08/25 - City Council Meeting (Livestream) - City of Mount Shasta","oneSentenceSummary","Staff presented an overview of the city's active grants — about $15 million in total — covering water distribution system improvements, road projects and site-specific planning; council discussed reallocations for visitor-center and Chestnut Street work.","taxTitle","Mount Shasta, Siskiyou County, California","taxId",51069,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6473663,"Council directs staff to contact property owners as first step on Washington Drive improvements",450,3645000,4095000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5744735-66ecfe9de4283387d0864a4b6c2ebb6d&start=3645&end=4095","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5744735-66ecfe9de4283387d0864a4b6c2ebb6d/thumbnail_3645000.jpg","/articles/6473663/Mount-Shasta/Siskiyou-County/California/Council-directs-staff-to-contact-property-owners-as-first-step-on-Washington-Drive-improvements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6473663-ac379ee16e38b19a9c517d0ec42003ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160072&Signature=JL5AlEverjNEwRP-3xhtldaF27g6Jf4mNjXJip06y0ghrB-NKluZpFmsLJTw5AF8B5OYok-YVZUM0Qna5jaFtailizLfGyPaniAhFSgq9SidJ~6Q6yBnuMVJ5Yi7DFvEw0Kv1fifWqgtoVhoWLjz5sew9vmP~2JouHJJUNaOUoKkqBz4fxzqtMg2ML~AA-D~PWlatlTzK~Gclej190C8d52-7QtYx2RF39uO4PjggXK3ZVv84TCMX4pRun4alUZWRiSDDh3RLk~yBTWeRFfbwhIX9ZDdWVhuiTJo2sY9ORBsuEw1C8sO2u~xuZL1Y4lYMWT9vrwV3bXgw1y-Fqd0Tg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City public works staff reported that a recent survey of Washington Drive found the city lacks the right of way necessary to build full-width roadway improvements including sidewalks, curb-and-gutter, bike lanes and storm drainage. The survey was conducted after council asked staff to clarify the existing public right-of-way on the corridor.

Staff told council the corridor has inconsistent recorded widths and that implementing the full reconstruction will require additional land from adjacent private properties in the form of donations, purchases or, as a last resort, condemnation. \"To provide for travel lanes, for bike lane, and replacement of curb and gutters, you know, we don't have\" the necessary right of way, staff said. The report noted ongoing issues including flooding, pavement degradation and collision risk on the corridor.

Council discussion focused on next steps. Members suggested an initial step of approaching property owners to determine their willingness to dedicate or sell the required strips of land and described the outreach as a prerequisite to assembling a grant application. Council directed staff to begin contacting affected property owners and to return with findings; staff was also asked to map the distances and describe what each property would yield in right-of-way width. No formal condemnation action was taken; staff and council emphasized preference for voluntary relinquishment first.

Why it matters: Without additional right of way and drainage improvements, Washington Drive has recurring maintenance and safety problems, including flooding and crashes. The project is likely to require multiple funding sources and will be a long-term undertaking that could affect homeowners' property lines and access.

Next steps: Staff will contact property owners and report back to council with responses and a clearer estimate of needed acquisitions before pursuing funding or formal legal steps.","City staff reported a completed survey showing the city lacks sufficient right of way to rebuild Washington Drive with sidewalks, curb-and-gutter and drainage; council directed staff to contact affected property owners to gauge willingness to dedicate or sell land before pursuing grants or condemnation.",{"_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},6473666,"Votes at a glance: council approves consent agenda, marketing contract; tables consulting renewal; reauthorizes OES signatory",1474,1920000,3394000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5744735-66ecfe9de4283387d0864a4b6c2ebb6d&start=1920&end=3394","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5744735-66ecfe9de4283387d0864a4b6c2ebb6d/thumbnail_1920000.jpg","/articles/6473666/Mount-Shasta/Siskiyou-County/California/Votes-at-a-glance-council-approves-consent-agenda-marketing-contract-tables-consulting-renewal-reauthorizes-OES-signatory","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6473666-3d29003f66eeba9b41337dfe0493a025/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160072&Signature=moS~bABynN8ebe8fEyZGMqVX~vCzFmg5iq0eQTvny7wOUHyrf0Z6DNpp~KfhDNnpGZRJBfTBL1RYx~zz3~coTJicsMsGUMdMxgLQ82HYv3HuoLtzg~VFa28pid3LnFi3lWk~LiJZq0E0dAbIlUol1RYXaLz0VtMOA7MuS7YtFws-cu5exwfDxb3jTOI1i7gDw0b25QJ98Cur9x1P4zfNJKuz0IEvi6vgTtQjQm7uN1wqf1BTwdNm9CxhMXz8hhxFfmGb0HByLhJiSTEtKoUAmJoBZGw8icjIisqFLF9R-hWU6jt~c1UWfkvqz7bgVoudc-cpR~dca2Jui-a5dBd8GQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mount Shasta City Council recorded several formal votes during the meeting: it approved the consent calendar (items A–G), authorized a marketing contract renewal for Visit Mount Shasta, tabled a contract renewal for development compliance services and reappointed the city manager as the city's California Office of Emergency Services (OES) agent to pursue disaster reimbursement.

Consent agenda: The council approved a package of routine items by voice vote. The consent calendar included minutes, payroll and accounts payable approvals, the monthly reports, a contract for wastewater-treatment-plant sludge removal and the second reading of the \"tiny homes on wheels\" ordinance (CCO-25-08). A motion recorded on the transcript was \"Move to approve consent agenda items A through G, G being CCO-25-08 by title only.\" The motion passed with all in favor and no opposition recorded.

Visit Mount Shasta marketing contract: The council approved a renewal of the Visit Mount Shasta marketing campaign contract with Ascension Aesthetic (operating as the marketing vendor) through June 30, 2026, at $3,200 per month. The contract covers social media posts and reels, website maintenance, quarterly analytics and digital ad spend; staff and the contractor said the proposal aims to integrate the visitor center's outreach with digital marketing. The motion to approve the renewal passed by unanimous voice vote.

Development compliance contract: Council pulled a planned agenda item regarding a contract renewal with Development Compliance Solutions. Staff requested the item be tabled to allow follow-up conversations with the contractor's principal about potential in-house hiring and related cost implications. Council voted to table the item to the next meeting (two weeks out) by unanimous voice vote.

California OES agent reappointment: The council approved a motion to reappoint the city manager as the city's authorized agent with the California Office of Emergency Services to sign documents necessary to seek state disaster reimbursement. The motion passed on a unanimous voice vote.

The transcript recorded voice votes rather than detailed roll-call tallies for these items; individual voter names were not provided in the record for each motion.","At the meeting the council unanimously approved the consent agenda (including the tiny homes ordinance), approved a renewal of the Visit Mount Shasta marketing contract through June 30, 2026, tabled a development compliance contract renewal, and reappointed the city manager as the city's California OES agent for reimbursement authority.",{"_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},6473668,"Mount Shasta council approves 'tiny homes on wheels' ordinance amid broad public support",1144,805000,1949000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5744735-66ecfe9de4283387d0864a4b6c2ebb6d&start=805&end=1949","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5744735-66ecfe9de4283387d0864a4b6c2ebb6d/thumbnail_805000.jpg","/articles/6473668/Mount-Shasta/Siskiyou-County/California/Mount-Shasta-council-approves-tiny-homes-on-wheels-ordinance-amid-broad-public-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6473668-779ef6c70ad24521eb5e8a1b10091721/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160072&Signature=IbmsqfxBHmcFeuIJA00TMRd3H3OxPK-9T8lyBM2CxYS7aj5fnziYYkQvFTIsstLa2U3cmg3G6FKGwp3fwu6Wyywe4fNVOdlsJgfNzfSQMG8sEIuc981qUIcp5dMNS8oQo4ZoL20B10Sn1Qtd-OHDHjDg4QgDurVXutqHIxTiviptzSja6BBK4G0lYXPZmDDv2SAEOJlUA0NHJVhirx6~g86HJEK77Q-uphGulFzzxZCL0TQZ7PfQpWtxGkdRiXAPix~x3GLdGmAFkR82mfEwiPoAaY-SRudnZvN7vyMwaK11kwhrjqByr6CzdjGQZsWtLb~D5U37vq6yqRYBhfgSWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Mount Shasta City Council approved the second reading of a \"tiny homes on wheels\" ordinance as part of a bundled consent agenda vote after a lengthy public comment period in which residents, seniors and workers urged the council to expand affordable housing options.

Supporters told the council the measure could help seniors, disabled residents, working families and younger people who cannot afford conventional homes in Mount Shasta. \"I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find housing and maintain housing in Mount Shasta,\" said Glenna Strongheart, identifying herself as a disabled senior and full-time resident. \"I'm all for this. Please, if you could pass that, we'd be very grateful.\" Patricia Carreras, who said she lives on Social Security, told the council tiny homes are \"affordable\" and easier to customize for physical limitations. Several other residents, including a single mother and local workers, urged the council to adopt the ordinance to provide options for families and employees who maintain local infrastructure and services.

City officials and staff described how tiny-home policies fit into other housing efforts. A council speaker noted an existing 25-unit affordable project in town and directed people interested in those units to City staff. During public discussion, staff said that if state subsidies are used for affordable rentals produced on the landing site, units typically must be deed restricted for 50 years and target households at about 60% of area median income. The council and staff also discussed how tiny-home siting could connect with larger projects on the city-owned \"landing\" property and with possible state subsidy programs.

The ordinance was approved on a motion to adopt the consent agenda that included multiple items (consent items A–G). The council gave unanimous voice approval to the consent calendar. The motion on the record was \"Move to approve consent agenda items A through G, G being CCO-25-08 by title only.\" The vote was recorded as ayes with no opposition; individual roll-call votes were not provided in the transcript.

Why it matters: Mount Shasta has cited rising housing costs, a high number of short-term rentals, and workforce shortages. Advocates at the meeting said tiny homes on wheels offer a pathway to ownership or affordable rental that could help seniors, working families and younger adults remain in the community. The ordinance, as passed, creates a regulatory framework for wheeled tiny homes to be sited within the city subject to local rules and any funding conditions that apply when state or federal subsidies are used.

What comes next: The ordinance passed as part of the consent agenda, so no separate additional reading was scheduled at this meeting. Staff and speakers encouraged residents interested in upcoming affordable units (a 25-unit project was cited) to contact Planning staff for wait-list information. City staff also noted a town hall on wildfire preparedness set for Sept. 15 at 5 p.m.

Quotes and attribution are drawn from the meeting record; where a direct speaker name and role were not provided in the transcript, the article uses the statement as an unattributed public comment.

Ending: The ordinance establishes a local path for tiny-home siting; implementation details and any subsidy-driven deed restrictions will be handled through follow-up staff work and project-specific agreements.","The Mount Shasta City Council approved the second reading of a 'tiny homes on wheels' ordinance as part of a consent agenda vote after an extended public comment period with residents and workers urging the city to expand affordable and workforce housing options.","actionData","errors"]
