BROOKTRAILS TOWNSHIP COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

BROOKTRAILS COMMUNITY CENTER

24850 Birch Street, Willits, CA 95490

October 26, 2004

The Board of Directors of Brooktrails Township Community Services District met in regular session on October 26, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. in Brooktrails Community Center.

A. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

B. ROLL CALL
Roll call showed the following Directors present: Ziady, Horrick, Skezas, Pohlson and Orth. Also present were General Manager Chapman and District Counsel Neary.

REPORT ON CLOSED SESSION.
None.

C. ADDITIONS/ADJUSTMENTS TO THE AGENDA
President Orth said he would like to pull Item 9 from the Action Agenda (canvass letter to Spring Creek) and the other directors concurred.

D. MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETINGS
1. October 12, 2004 - Director Horrick moved to approve the minutes and Director Pohlson seconded. The motion carried unanimously.

E. SPECIAL PRESENTATION
None.

F. PUBLIC HEARING
None.

G. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Fire Chief Daryl Schoeppner introduced Fire Prevention Officer Captain Jon Noyer and President Orth welcomed him to the District. Chief Schoeppner then described the priorities for Capt. Noyer. First is getting the new fire engine equipped and into service. (The Firefighters Association has raised $5,000 for new equipment for the truck.) Capt. Noyer will be the liaison with the local Fire Safe Council. The Department intends to purchase a laptop for Capt. Noyer to assist him in computerizing each lot under the GPS satellite navigational system. Winter lot conditions will be assessed and notices sent asking for voluntary compliance with abatement. They intend to return to the Board later with a policy proposal for future operations.

H. CONSENT CALENDAR
2. Review of Accounts Payable Report and authorization to issue checks. Director Skezas moved to approve the report; Director Horrick seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

I. ACTION AGENDA
3. Consider lease arrangement for Fire Department vehicle. General Manager Chapman said that the Ford Bronco has needed replacement for several years. Fire Chief Schoeppner said that under the State contract the vehicle would be a 2005 pickup, without specification yet as to maker except it may not be a Ford due to emissions specifications. He expects the vehicle to cost about $23,500 with the balance of the $30,000 lease to be used for special equipment. Director Skezas moved to approve the lease and authorize the General Manager to negotiate it. Director Pohlson seconded. President Orth clarified that part of this authorization was for the equipment. No public comment was offered. Director Pohlson asked the condition of the fire department fleet. Chief Schoeppner said the vehicle donated by PG&E had about 152,000 miles and seems to be in pretty good shape without needing significant repairs. He said he intended to write another grant for another specialized vehicle replacement (over $100,000) in 2005. The motion carried unanimously.

4. Consideration of replacement of Fire Department garage door opener. General Manager Chapman reviewed the bids received for repairing this apparatus. Chief Schoeppner then described the age and condition of the doors. Chief Schoeppner commented that there will be no remote control and that the opener will have an optical eye to prevent the door coming down on a vehicle in its path. President Orth asked if any more surprises were on the way; General Manager Chapman stated Chief Schoeppner had requested about $2,700 for the purchase of 1,000 feet of fire hose, which he believed could be authorized under the current budget. Capt. Noyer then described the type of hose. Director Skezas moved to approve the purchase of the garage door opener bid at a turnkey price of $2,440.

Roll call vote was as follows:
AYES: Directors: Ziady, Horrick, Skezas, Pohlson, Orth
NOES: Directors: None
ABSENT: Directors: None


5. Receive preliminary draft of CFIP survey of 800-acre greenbelt parcel (Greenbelt Management Plan). General Manager Chapman introduced Roger Sternberg, RPF, and reviewed his having been hired to prepare a survey related to the CFIP grant. Director Skezas moved to receive the preliminary survey report; Director Pohlson seconded. President Orth clarified that they were just receiving the preliminary report and would not be making any changes to it at this point.

Roll call vote was as follows:
AYES: Directors: Ziady, Horrick, Skezas, Pohlson, Orth
NOES: Directors: None
ABSENT: Directors: None

Roger Sternberg stated he wished to clarify some things that had come up regarding the preliminary findings. He provided referenced corrections and changes as follows:

(1) page 3, Item C: The shaded fuel break acreages given were based on projected area if 100- foot or 200-foot shaded fuel breaks are established. However, they do not exist now.

(2) page 4, Item F: Maintenance/improvement of roads would focus almost entirely on existing roads. New road construction would be kept to a minimum in order to re-establish access where it has been lost due to development.

(3) page 6, Item H4: "Shaded fuel breaks are based upon .2 acre in the Greenbelt area" - they meant to say that the estimated .2 acre is the additional area that would need to be treated in the Greenbelt for 150 feet beyond private lots.

(4) page 6, Item H9: Timber stand improvement refers to activities like pre-commercial thinning and would cover 250 additional acres.
(5) page 8: The quote from Tom Schott - last sentence should read "wildfire," not "wildlife."

Jerry Garvey described the survey area as being bounded by Ridge Road to the left, Goose Road to the North, winding down along Primrose and Clover and then up to Sherwood and said it was basically the south end of the District. Over three weeks, they sampled about 4 acres per plot . They used a grid system (430' x 430' plots, 430' apart) and he stated the grids gave the best sample of the overall view. They measured diameter of larger trees, sampled regeneration, looked at hardwoods, erosion problems, wildlife issues, estimated ladder fuel and ground fuel for each plot. He said in areas that had not received lot abatements there were lots of stems per acre, 414 trees/acre density - e.g., 100 trees/acre is about 20' x 20' if spaced out evenly, 400 trees/acre is about 10 feet apart, all have crowns and the crowns were touching, with dense canopy throughout. Referencing page 3, he said approximately 45% is conifers, the bulk is hardwood, primarily tan oak.

Roger Sternberg said that the input they've had from meetings is that protecting the greenbelt and private property from wildfire is the first priority and the last priority (#6) is generating capital to pay for it by doing some kind of timber harvesting to finance fire protection. Therefore, he said, most of their findings focus on wildfire prevention. He said fuel on the ground was found to be light to moderate, the canopy fairly dense with tan oak, and that tan oak was more prone to fire than conifers. He said the ideal defensible space was to have approximately 200' of space, as opposed to only 30' defensible space, and have the canopy 10' apart. He said that 20 years ago in the first master plan, Larry Camp suggested using former logging roads as fire breaks, and he agreed it would be really important to make sure those roads are in good shape. He said shaded fuel breaks are extremely expensive and labor-intensive and a poor investment if no maintenance plan accompanies them. He emphasized that every 5 years some kind of maintenance of fuel breaks should be done. He said he would not get into the issue of cost-sharing because federal or state money was an inconsistent source of funding, although the prospects of some funding through the Fire Safe Council are looking better if people can be found to write the grant proposal. He said Brooktrails really needs to pay for the management plan work itself, whether that means a fee to residents or commercial harvesting or private fundraising. He said it would be good to find out how much landowners are willing to do on their own to contribute to a neighborhood project. He said that, unlike Larry Camp's finding, they found serious problems in locations in the study area with sedimentation. He said that the state will require cleanup of this within next 10 years.

He estimated that a nonindustrial timber management plan (NTMP) on 800 acres would cost about $40,000. He said the archeology could be done by himself and Mr. Garvey, but that other experts would be needed. He thought there was an opportunity over the next year to apply for a cut under emergency regulations on wildfire reduction, which doesn't require a timber harvest plan or NTMP in order to harvest timber. He said the problem with the emergency regulations is that they may expire soon and currently have a 120-day extension from their original deadline. He asked Battalion Chief Tolbert, present in the audience, when they will lapse; Chief Tolbert said he doesn't know.

Mr. Sternberg said the most important part of their findings were the "next steps" and commented as those six points:

1. He said a fuel break program on a major basis is extremely expensive ($1,125,000) and suggested more attention to working with CDF. He said that if you multiply those numbers to the entire greenbelt area you could triple those numbers.

2. They suggest using the emergency regulations for a cut if they still exist.

3. They suggest an inventory of key access points for fire, including roads, stream restoration and also, if decided, limited commercial timber harvesting. Private lots affecting roads, access and landings should be determined.

4. A sample marking should occur so residents can see what a shaded fuel break and limited harvesting (under Alternative 3) would look like. He stated he thinks there's a lot of fear that could be responded to by showing people on the ground what a sample mark would look like and what constitutes a fire-safe forest. He said he was a little uncomfortable with that term as no forest is completely safe. He said they would want to leave larger trees as they don't burn as quickly, and have the large trees spread out over landscape that will act as shaded fuel break and are not going to burn.

5. He said there are really good opportunities for grant cost-sharing to study erosion and stream assessment. He said someone needs to go out and walk the roads and look at what the worst sediment delivery points are. He did not address step 6 separately.

Mr. Sternberg then took questions and comments from the Board. Director Ziady said getting input is the next step and that the entire project will be a concerted effort involving multiple agencies Director Horrick asked how far apart larger trees should be in an ideal situation and was told 20 to 30 feet apart. He asked then if the study's priority was to take out trees 10 feet apart, primarily conifer, and was advised yes. Director Skezas asked if they would go back to the areas they surveyed or extrapolate that data. Mr. Sternberg said he didn't know. Director Skezas asked if the 800 acre sample was representative of the whole greenbelt. Jerry Garvey said you could not extrapolate to the very north end because there are worse areas there in terms of fire. Director Pohlson felt that more input was needed from local experts in our own community.

Mr. Sternberg described a "masticator" system (rotary drum that chews up trees) in use elsewhere for fuels clearance and dispersion of ladder fuels onto the ground.

President Tony Orth commented that this could be a Catch-22 situation, going in with a forest management program and creating more problems by letting people into the greenbelt, doing intensive management which can allow sources of ignition to come in. He stated tan oak reduction was a real goal in the community. He said there have been no crown fires in Brooktrails, though the hazard is there, and said that forest management will never stop crown fires, nor will shaded fuel breaks. He said there has been one fire incident in the greenbelt, but it took firefighters an hour to reach it. He said that trails bring people into the greenbelt and consequently the risk of fire. He said he thinks it very viable to look at trails, roads, and soil erosion, and he thinks the community really needs to address soil erosion before starting a forest management program. He stated he was against herbicides and had campaigned against Garlon on stumps and had researched the need to do a manual release of stumps. He said he would support a General Fund dedicated fund operation for $10,000 - 15,000 per year over a 20-30 year period. President Orth also commented about the ridgeline. He said that we don't have control of the property on the other side, and that historically that was where uncontrolled ground fires came from. He stated that focusing along the ridge was important. He noted that the District will have to address restoration on the new parcel it has acquired above Lake Emily as well.

General Manager Chapman stated his concern was one of practicality - how do we fund this program over time. Mr. Chapman inquired how cost-sharing would work if he had nothing but zeroes in the revenue column. He further asked under what auspices, under whose control the plan would be--the Brooktrails Township Board of Directors, or a third party LTO (licensed timber operator). He asked how the matching percentage, mentioned by the Fire Safe Council, worked. He stated that under the present CFIP grant, the District had to come up with a 75% match. Bob Whitney, President of the Brooktrails, Spring Creek & Sylvandale Fire Safe Council, thought the match was about 20%. Director Ziady said that if you're applying through the Mendocino Fire Safe Council, they're going to want a percentage of that money, and she asked how the pie would be divided up. Mr. Whitney said the original intention was that it would be managed by the Brooktrails Fire Department and would include Sylvandale, Spring Creek, other large lots, and "all the other subdivisions." He said that the fire prevention officer position could be used as a match. He said the grant is not due until February 2, 2005 and there is plenty of time for the Board of Directors, CDF, the fire department, and the general manager to come together on what to focus on. He said if they were lucky they would get funds a year from now which will be applied latter part of 2005. He stated that lot abatement by lot owners could also be counted as a match.

General Manager Chapman referred to the survey report of a volume of 19,900 board feet per acre. He asked if anyone could recall what the 1984 Camp reported. Mr. Sternberg responded that the numbers they came up with didn't make sense compared to the 1984 report in terms of the growth rate, and they would get that clarified for the District .

General Manager Chapman asked about the original concept of having a demonstration forest in the size range of 5 - 10 acres (as was envisioned in 2001). Mr. Sternberg said it was one way that a community could visually see what a proper forest canopy looked like. He said, at a minimum, this could be done just by marking trees without cuts being done.
President Orth commented that a major area is the ridgeline. He said we don't control the property on the other side of that ridge and historically that's where uncontrolled ground fires come from. He stated that focusing along the ridge and the escape or evacuation roads through Spring Creek was important.

General Manager Chapman questioned Mr. Sternberg, saying that if fire prevention were one of the goals, what about tan oaks along the road as an alternative as to the alternatives in the report. Mr. Sternberg responded that it was hard to give an answer. He said it really depended on the site. He said that if a site turned out to have really good commercial timber on it we could harvest 1,000 board feet per acre, which worked out to be four 18" trees, and then you could offset it, if someone could be found who was willing to do a fuel wood harvest here. He said you could start to offset the cost significantly. He said it depended on whether it is tan oak or a mix of tan oak and conifers.

President Orth asked if the masticator took care of resprouting. Mr. Sternberg replied no, that that person used 300 goats instead. He said that after mastication, five years later at $300/acre, someone has to do a post-harvest treatment. He commented that insurance companies are thinking about dropping people from coverage if they don't have adequate defensible space. President Orth replied that the District was well aware of its ISO rating.

Director Ziady asked that the District will need a Strategic Planning Committee that can decide what important things to do first. The need to determine what was needed in each neighborhood was discussed.

Mr. Sternberg said he had a range of quotes for fuels clearing of from $3,000 to $15,000 per acre.

Comments from the public were invited. Richard Estabrook said he supported Director Ziady's comments regarding a Strategic Plan Committee. He said regarding the table on page 5 that he would state the obvious - that it says in the first 15 years of doing this we would have $2 million in expenses. He said such a harvest plan would be hugely controversial and could divide the community. He pointed out that $50,000 in timber sales spread over 15 years was $3,300/year, and thus we could have all the problems and impacts related to a timber harvest for $3,300 a year. Or, we could take it out of General Fund, which, he stated, with good financial management should be doable. He said that to him it seemed like it was a diversion. He felt the District can support and work toward a consensus and doesn't need a diversion that splits the community. He suggested that dropping the commercial timber harvest aspect be considered.

Mr. Sternberg stated that they didn't have an agenda in terms of wanting to do a commercial timber harvest in Brooktrails, and that's why they came up with the alternatives. He said you may decide that a commercial timber harvest doesn't make sense for the community. He said that the way the management goes is over time, you're building up inventory and in 45 years can have a $324,000 harvest. He felt their point was to look at what a timber harvest could do over time, and to look at other things like stream erosion.

Mr. Whitney took the podium and said it was extremely premature to jump to any conclusions. He favored starting with a neighborhood approach as Mary Ziady had stated, because every neighborhood will be different and have a different solution, considering its density. He said he agreed with Richard Estabrook that you don't want to focus, obviously, on a timber harvest plan. He said that if somebody thins out some brush, you'll have Ed Burton and other people telling you how to do it economically. But, he said, there was no economical way to maintain it. He said that the district had fuel management 10-15 years ago, and it wasn't managed, and now it's worse. He said the problem is to develop a sustainable strategy over the next 50 years, if we can afford it and to maintain it. He said that is why he favored limited timber harvesting. He cited the timber harvests done by Arcata, CA. He said he believed the County has been timber harvesting on County property. He said one of the economic factors that was left out of this analysis on purpose, but would be factored in the Strategic Plan, was the use of a licensed timber operator, to also cut firewood. He said you can make money on firewood, but you can't make money on firewood on steep slopes unless you also do some limited timber harvesting. He said if you want to create erosion control, road management, trails management opportunities, only limited harvesting would allow you to afford to do that. He said that clearly the trees had grown since the last inventory, and now there is a crown of big conifers mixed with tan oak and madrone. Lastly, Mr. Whitney stated that the purpose of forming the Brooktrails/Sylvandale/Spring Creek Fire Safe Council was to generate fuel reduction and fire safe programs.

President Orth stated they have made an assumption that fires will increase over time, when they actually have decreased due to fuels management and the burn ban, and both size and frequency are down. President Orth said that if the District started opening some of the legal timber roads, it would have to address roads and erosion before a management program. He asked CDF Battalion Chief Tolbert if that would improve the situation for CDF for entry in fire situations. Chief Tolbert responded yes, anything we can do to widen the road in terms of canopy, will provide some added safety for fire crews. Chief Tolbert clarified that shaded fuel breaks do not necessarily reduce crown fires, but do improve access and fire intensity on the ground for fire crews. Fire Chief Daryl Schoeppner commented that he considered the internal fire roads of the District to be death traps due to fallen trees and erosion. He stated that his crew had standing orders not to venture into those areas, and he does not consider them fire roads.

Wallace Stahle said that at the public meeting of April 24th, with Greg Giusti moderating, there was a point where the public was supposed to have input, and he said none of their input was reflected in the report. He stated this included the request that some core of inner greenbelt should be left to natural processes, and that tan oak is part of the natural process He commented regarding generating capital, that he was seeing a lot of references to costs associated with roads. On page 3, referring to "ladder fuels and fuels on the ground were found to be light to moderate," and to statements regarding density of crowns and a high proportion of tan oak in the forest, he said he agreed with that and had no problem with pulling out the tan oak canopy, but that there were references to pulling out trees of 40" diameter, and, he said, he has not seen a lot of trees this big here. He stated this seemed like a rather lenient harvest rate for the purpose of "protecting" the trees and returning to old growth. He stated that the large trees are the first candidates for old growth and that he supposed there were a few over 40". He made note of the statement that Ukiah spent 433 person-hours per acre for fuels management; he pointed out that would be 10 workers working a whole week to do one acre and this seemed like an awful lot of labor for clearing small trees and brush. He said he would like an answer on that.

Referring to page 4, Section 5, "maintain crew access," Mr. Stahle said they would want to see that idea justified more, and said that once a road structure was in place, the cost to do timber harvests later would be much reduced and might justify a timber harvest plan for some other board of directors in the future. He said he was really concerned that new road systems would be built under the guise of "preparing" them.

Referring to page 6, Item 12, board feet to be cut in Periods 1, 2 and 3, he wondered how many large trees were included. He stated that there was a reference to 1,000 board feet being approximately four 18" trees, and said that it seemed acceptable, but that if it were one 36" tree, he was more concerned. In another comment he said there's obviously a lot of benefit for the people profiting from the trees.

Mr. Stahle commented that since the primary contributor to sedimentation is the culverts draining the Brooktrails paved road system, we need to look at whose responsibility that was, and that the County should do it. President Orth interjected to say he believed the County has assessed that and done a source assessment. He commented the sediment load in the streams is visibly way down now and we don't want to reverse that.

Mr. Stahle referred to page 7, sample guidelines, "retain 65% canopy, no harvesting within 10 feet" and said that was mighty close to the stream. He noted the provision for no cutting of old growth trees, or trees of 40" in diameter, and again said this was bigger than what he sees here. He noted the comments regarding herbicides, which stated that Fred Euphrat reported good results combined with a specific cutting regime.

Regarding "Next Steps," he stated they list a lot of investigating and studying but the actual first action is #6, "begin road repairs/erosion control." He asked, what happened to our fuel management?

A break was taken at 8:52 p.m. and the meeting resumed at 9:00 p.m. with public comments continuing.

Mark Tolbert took the podium and thanked the preparers for their work. He said that the plan obviously stated the #1 priority is protecting property from wildfire. He suggested that the work being done by the Fire Safe Council and Bob Whitney was outstanding. As to grant funding, he felt that having local control over grant funding, by the Board of Directors and the General Manager, was probably the very best way to get things actually done. He said he would be happy to help as opportunities present themselves.

President Orth said Lake County has a chipper and advertises a number to be called and the chipper will be brought out to chip your debris. Chief Tolbert said that from his experience with the masticator in May, it gets things down on the ground and will probably reduce the potential for crown fire, but that is not the most likely incident. He stated it is effective in removing fuel canopy. President Orth asked about not broadcasting chips in the area; Chief Tolbert said that chips were not much of a fire hazard, but that debris left by the masticator was and served as fuel.

President Orth asked if comments from the Board were requested for the Saturday meeting and if it was a board meeting; Director Ziady and General Manager Chapman stated it was an informational meeting. Brian Weller, the facilitator for the public meeting, was introduced to the Board. He stated he saw the public meeting as a chance to have a well-rounded conversation and look at all concerns. He felt that while he believed there would be conflict, that should be welcomed. President Orth stated he felt a timber proposal should not be done under emergency regulations but the mature approach was to take the time. Mr. Weller concurred that if there were not full agreement up front, there might be kickback down the road.

President Orth asked if under the Brown Act all of the directors would be able to participate in the meeting. District Counsel Neary stated that they would. He further advised that the Board should not discuss the matter among themselves but could participate in a public forum.

President Orth thanked Mr. Sternberg and Mr. Garvey for their report and for their participation in the meetings on it. Roger Sternberg said he would address Wallace Stahle's concerns at the public meeting.

6. Consider Solid Waste of Willits request for rate increase and set public hearing for December 14, 2004. General Manager Chapman stated that Solid Waste of Willits had requested a 2.59% rate increase and that the monthly rate for a typical 35-gallon can would increase $23.37 to $23.98, which is a $7.32 annual increase. He stated that he recommended that the rate increase be approved, to take effect January 1, 2005. Director Skezas moved to waive reading of the draft resolution and to set a public hearing for December 14, 2004. Director Horrick seconded. Jerry Ward of Solid Waste took the podium and praised specific staff members from his organization who were specifically responsible for the lack of complaints about their service. General Manager Chapman stated the District received $21,000 for the contract last year.

Roll call vote was as follows:
AYES: Directors: Ziady, Horrick, Skezas, Pohlson, Orth
NOES: Directors: None
ABSENT: Directors: None

7. Consider approval of bid for water tank liner replacement. General Manager Chapman stated there was a problem with Tank #3 on Lupine Drive and he would like staff to install a 20-year liner. Liner samples were viewed by the directors. Mr. Chapman stated that while other tanks were lined with the thinner blue liner, he would prefer to use the Hypalon material which was twice as thick. He stated a bid had been obtained from New World Manufacturing of Cloverdale for a turnkey price of $16,000. President Orth felt it a wise decision to upgrade to the higher standard. Director Skezas moved to approve purchase of the Hypalon liner for Tank #3 from New World Manufacturing for a total price of $16,000 including installation and Director Horrick seconded. The motion was carried unanimously.

8. Adoption of Philosophy of Use of Ohl Redwood Grove. General Manager Chapman stated the Recreation Committee had prepared a recommendation. He stated that point 4 had originally prohibited driving in the park altogether, but had been changed to allow maintenance driving. However, Mr. Chapman felt that for certain events or productions it would be necessary to have driving into the park for delivery of large props, etc. Director Ziady felt that if someone were doing a production that person could request an exception from the rule from the Board. Wallace Stahle passed out a handout demonstrating the length to which redwood tree roots extended, and he felt it was necessary to work hard to preserve them and err on the side of caution. He felt that utilizing the open space for parking seemed really inappropriate. President Orth stated, as a compromise, there was a filled-in swimming pool where cars could drive to offload which would have no roots. Director Ziady stated she felt that was a reasonable compromise. President Orth stated that without barriers you cannot be sure the rules would be followed, so a circulation pattern and controls should be set up. He suggested point 4 read "No parking inside the park," so that vehicles offloading could not be in place for extended periods, and this should also include a wet weather limitation. General Manager Chapman asked if the resolution could be brought back at the next meeting with these comments incorporated. Director Skezas suggested that the closing date of the park should be October 15. He suggested October 15. It was agreed that the matter would be brought back to the Board at the next meeting.

J. ADDITIONS TO FUTURE AGENDAS
None.

K. SPECIAL REPORTS
General Manager Chapman stated that drilling for the second well, at Lupine Place, was scheduled for November 4. He stated he would travel to Santa Rosa to meet with the auditor, Terry Krieg, on October 28th. He stated that his report on the Special District seminar he attended October 20 -23, would be in his next general manager's report. He also advised Director Pohlson he had spoken and written to Phil Dow of MCOG, who had not responded. President Orth said Mr. Chapman should follow up on the early formation of the subcommittee with the County (January). Director Pohlson said she had checked the MCOG website; she stated the funding had been cut quite a bit, but she felt it was important for the District to be involved for future funding for other projects. General Manager Chapman said smoke testing had revealed a second home had its rain gutter connected to the sewer system; they had been instructed to correct the situation within 30 days.

L. PUBLIC COMMENTS
None.

M. ADJOURNMENT
Director Horrick moved to adjourn and President Orth declared the meeting of October 12, 2004 closed at 9:35 p.m.
