Ukiah City Council to Review Oak Manor Repairs, Cal Fire Lease Oct. 21
The Ukiah City Council will meet Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 5:15 p.m. to review emergency infrastructure repairs in the Oak Manor neighborhood following a Sept. 11 underground conductor failure that caused a three-hour outage affecting more than 50 customers. Staff are requesting a four-fifths vote to continue an emergency contract with Wipf Construction for replacing failed conductors and retiring live-front transformers serving Ukiah Valley Medical Center, Oak Manor Subdivision, and Orchard Avenue customers. Also on the Consent Calendar is a new 10-year ground lease with Cal Fire for its Air Attack base at Ukiah Regional Airport, retaining approximately 1.54 acres at $2,350.49 monthly rent with annual CPI adjustments. The Airport Commission voted unanimously (3-0) to recommend approval of the lease renewal.
