WHEREAS, The Rotary Clubs of Rohnert Park-Cotati and Rancho Cotati initiative is one more community effort to invite citizens of Rohnert Park to support Rotary's goal. The world stands firmly on the threshold of victory thanks to the achievements of the last 25 years. A polio-free world will be Rotary's ultimate gift to children everywhere. World Polio Day, October 24th, is one small step in helping Rotary achieve its goal. NOW, THEREFORE, be it proclaimed that I, Pam Stafford, as Mayor and on behalf of the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park do hereby endorse October 24,2010, as World Polio Day in Rohnert Park.

CITY OF ROHNERT PARK PAM STAFFORD, MAYOR .. {This Section for City Clerk Use Only} 9/28/10 City Council Agenda ITEM NO. 5.A Introduction: The following report is a bi-annual analysis, compiled for the period of January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. The facts reported herein are designed to serve as an assessment of effectiveness over prior years and as a basis for future comparisons. This report will specifically identify the following elements: ~ An annual comparison of traffic collisions ~ A comparison of traffic collisions for the first half of each year ~ The time of day during which most traffic collisions occur ~ The day of week most traffic collisions occur ~ Those locations in the city with the highest number of collisions ~ An analysis of traffic citations written, specifically for moving violations Collision Analvsis: Over the last eight years, there has been a general downward trend in the number of traffic collisions reported in the City of Rohnert Park. Page 2 of 14 In reviewing the first half of each year, there has also been corresponding general downward trend in the number of traffic collisions with a slight increase this year. This could be attributed to the reduction in staff at the department. Also the two Motor Officers had been responsible for patrol duties and one Motor Officer has been out on injury for three months of this six month period.

There are virtually no collisions between the hours of 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM. Although specific numbers were not available, the peak collision times coincide with peak traffic times, based on subjective observations.

Traffic Collisions by Day of Week Jan-Jun 2010 Combined 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 o Mon Wed Thu Tue Fri Sat Sun An analysis of the traffic collisions by day of week reveals that for the first half of 2010, most traffic collisions occurred on Friday and the least occurred on Sunday. As with the previous Time of Day Analysis, subjective observation would indicate that these numbers correlate with the traffic volume during those dates.

As noted in the report above, the intersections with the highest number of collisions for the first half of 2010 are Rohnert Park Expressway at Commerce Blvd, Rohnert Park Expressway at State Farm Dr., Camino Colegio and East Cotati Ave., Snyder Lane and Southwest Blvd., and Commerce Blvd. and Golf Course Dr. This list has been relatively consistent for the last 5 years and also correlates to the intersections with the most traffic volume, again noted via subjective observation. Fatal Collision: During this period there was only one fatal vehicle collision. it occurred on 5/31/10 in the intersection of Rohnert Park Expressway and Redwood Dr. at approximately 4pm. The collision was caused by a westbound driver on Rohnert Park Expressway turning left against a red arrow to go southbound on Redwood Dr. directly into the pathway of an eastbound motorcyclist driving on Rohnert Park Expressway. This case is still under investigation, pending charges of vehicular manslaughter through the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office.

Of these, 551 were moving violations. Between January 1,2009 and June 30,2009, officers of the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety issued a total of 1851 moving violations. This year for the same period showed a 70% decrease in citations. The top seven violations are listed in the chart above. The remaining 36 violation types each accounted for less than 1 % of the total. The four charts which follow on the next page cover the last half and first half of 2008 and 2009 and also list the top violations which accounted for at least 1 % each of the total. Page 1 ()>of 14 It should be noted that there was a significant increase in the issuance of citations for moving violations, with more citations issued in the first half of 2009 than all of 2008 combined. There was a 70% decrease during the first half of this year, as compared to the first half of 2009. Overall, there was a 20% increase in the first half of 2009 when compared to all of 2008. This rather significant decrease appears to have a direct correlation to the increase in traffic collisions during the first half of 2010.

I was unable to provide an analysis of the Primary Collision Factor (PCF) in our top traffic collision locations because of inadequacies in our existing records management procedures. A majority of our traffic collisions are still hand-written by our officers. Those reports are then entered into the department's records management system by records staff at a later date. In most cases, only name and location data is transferred from the written reports, but not the collision factors or the narrative. Additionally, I have observed that many of our officers appear to hesitate identifying specific vehicle code violations in their traffic collision investigations, opting for "other improper driving" or "unknown" in the PCF section. It should be noted that many of our officers have not received training pursuant to 940600 of the California Vehicle Code, which would allow them to issue citations as a result of their collision investigation. This set of data collection deficiencies means that data analysis for PCF or other collision factors is not possible without an extensive and time consuming hand-search. Page 13",of 14 Recommendations: In reviewing the various trends regarding traffic collisions occurring in the City of Rohnert Park over the last 8 years, there does appear to be substantial correlation between the reduction in traffic collisions and the increase in enforcement for moving violations. Additionally, over the last 8 years, the Department of Public Safety, initially understaffed, has slowly filled vacant positions to a point that all allocated positions were filled as of January 1, 2009. In late 2009 early 2010 soon after the staffing levels decreased there was an increase in collisions and decrease in' citations. Also of note is the timeframe during which traffic collisions occur. Data indicates that collisions occur starting at 6:00 AM and continuing for 20 hours until 2:00 AM. With a slight reduction during the weekend, they also occur every day of the week. Now, the Department of Public Safety has traffic officers assigned to motorcycle patrol for 10 hours a day seven days a week, but with the responsibility of handling normal patrol duties, which was a change from a year ago when they were both assigned Monday through Friday overlapping Tuesday, Wednesday, and' Thursday with very little interruption to their traffic duties. When the city's current financial situation improves, I believe it would be beneficial to the residents to add more motor officers, which would then give the motor officers more time to focus on traffic related issues. With regards to future traffic collision data analysis, we should discuss improvements in our existing records procedures to ensure entry of appropriate collision factor data. Options include, but are not limited to: 1.) require officers to enter traffic .collisions directly into I-Leads, as they currently do with their crime reports or 2.) require records staff to enter all collision factor data into I-Leads and electronically attach narratives. Further, as training funds allow, either through budget or via grant or traffic safety funds, all of our officers should be provided with basic traffic accident investigation, pursuant to 940600 cve, to allow for confident determination of PCF, and as appropriate, the ability to issue citations for the same.

The project has many components, all of which we'll discuss this evening. There will be many opportunities for questions and/or clarification, and our staff members are here to answer those. Lastly, I want to men'tion that during our presenta'tion I will refer to a couple of additional staff recommendations that have been included after the planning Commission recommendation, which I'll go over as we get to those items. They are Exhibits 3 and 4 in your packets. This slide shows the five entitlements that are being requested this evening, and we will discuss each in more detail later in the presentation. I'd like to give a brief overview of the project. It is located on 175 acres of the former Hewlett-packard/Agilent site, which is in the city limits of Rohnert Park. It is proposed as a planned development to allow for a mixed-use village. Park sites would be located throughout the project, and there will be a variety of higher density of land uses near the center of the site. Existing buildings have already begun to be adapted for reuse, for commercial office and 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC (415) 312~9040 Page 4 Rp-somo-8-24-10 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 future residential uses, and lower density land uses will be located around the edges of the site. The project envisions sustainable design principles, like short blocks, pedes'trian orientation, bike paths, solar n use of solar energy and water conservation. The project also proposes to introduce and use a form-based code which regulates developmem based on building form and function rather than on our typical segregation of land uses. This slide shows an aerial photograph of the project and the surrounding areas. The project site is located in the southeast portion of the city at the intersection of Camino Colegio and Bodway parkway. The photo shows 'the existing buildings near the center of the site. The existing buildings total approximately 700,000 square feet on 11 acres. The southern 90 acres of the site are undeveloped, although they.have been previously graded. Land eas't and south are in the located in Sonoma County and primarily ag uses. Additionally, residential uses north and northwest of the site are located within the city limits. Hewlett-Packard developed the existing high-tech campus on this site in the early '80s; Agilent then took over the site. In the late 19805, the city approved a Master Plan for the site. Agilent graded the LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC.

Sonoma Mountain Village proposes approximately 825,000 square fee't of nonresidential uses. under the proposed zoning, there's a theoretical opportunity for up to 13 million square feet for nonresidential development. This slide shows the proposed phasing plan. It'S proposed to be phased in six different phases. The first phase would include adaptive reuse, which has already begun on many of the existing buildings on site. Phases. lA, 18 and ID are all within the footprint of the existing development on site, while the other three phases are vacant land primarily to the south. 8uildout is expected to occur over the next 12 to 20 years. This slide reviews the Munic~pal Services Plan, which addresses infrastructure needs for each development phase, including sewer, domestic water, reclaim water, storm drainage and treatment. The storm drainage sys'tem includes Low Impact Design features and will meet all the local and regional criteria. The project also defines standards for on-site streets and all eyways and is intended to provi de access for private parking and will not accommodate through 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 LE.ONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC.

The site was vacant for several years, bUT some adaptive reuse of the buildings, as I mentioned previously, has already begun. rhere's over 270,000 square feet which have been retrofitted for new companies coming in, for example, AT & T, Comcast, and our recently approved DC power. The planning Commission held a hearing on the Sonoma Mountain Village project last month. The actions listed on this slide include recommendations. from the planning commission to the city Council, and they are described in your Staff packe't. The project proposes a mixed-use development, meaning that it includes a variety of land uses. This would include residential, commercial, offices, industrial and civic spaces along within the overall project site, including parks and recreational uses. The project includes 1694 residential units and an additional 198 second-dwelling units and a total of over 825,000 square feet of commercial, retail and industrial and service uses. Additionally, there are over 27 acres of park and open space envisioned in the project.

This ilJcludes a 1.3 acre she for the publ ic safety station in 'the northwest portion of the project. This is expected to include a :Fire station and a police substation. Additionally, in this area the project envisions a future water tank .site adjacent to the actual public safety station. At this time, I'd like to turn over a discussion of the infrastructure to oarrin. DIRECTOR JENKINS: Thank you, Marilyn. When looking at this project and evaluating its impact on water supply, 1 took a very conservative approach wi th the anal ys is. And what I looked at was: could the City supply this project exclusively with its existing ground water supply? And then I looked at: Could it supply it exclusively with its existing surface water supply? Knowing that, in reality, it will probably be some combination of those two supplies, bu't this was really the most conservative analysis. And a couple things to note about the water supply for this project. No. I, they're proposing to use less water 'than the site would use if it was built LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 '" out at current Limited Industrial Zoning. And in the page. 8 4 city' 5 2005 Water Rtu-:;l';~8s~2e~~~nt. it was assumed that this project would be built out with limited Industrial Zoning in terms of water supply, so they would be using less or the same amount -~ same amount of water or less than what was assumed in 'the city's 200S Water Supply Assessment. And the City does, in facl:, have sufficient ground water to serve the project. and I want to show you a graphical representa'tion of that. I want to describe this graph first. This is looking at Rohnert Park's ground water supply. On the left-hand side, the vertical axis is how much water pumped from the ground water in Rohnert Park by the city, and on the other axis are -- I'll describe each of the bars. The first one on the left is the City's historic maximum use in any given year, and that was over 5.000 acre feet, which is a unit of measure for water. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 The city's 2005 Water supply Assessment determined that what the City could sustainably pump a little over 5,000 acre feet per year of ground water allowing for the growth of the other ground water users in our area. The city is proposing in its 2005 Water Supply Assessment and in subsequent urban Water Management pl ans to pump about half of that. So t:he lEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 City has proposed to use less than half of what could be sust:ainably used from the wat:er supply. Page 9 . .6 is on the left_han~-ssiod~,-~-e2ta~Oe the amount of surface water. and the first bar is our contracted amount. which is 7.500 acre feet per year. The next bar is t:he amount that the City determined in its Wat:er supply AsseSsment and subsequent urban Water Management: Plan, which is slightly over 6,000 acre feet per year t:hat could be supplied from the surface water system. Again, I have it shown the average last"five years, which is about 4,000 acre feet per year. and we're projecting that in the future we would use about 4,000 acre feet per year with our existing users. So. Again, we add the already approved university District Specific plan water use and then we add Sonoma Mountain Village, and we're just below 5,000 acre feet per year, and. again, we're -- we've shown that we would have over 6,000 acre feet per year of surface water. Finally. we're going to look at waste water supply or sewer capacity for this project. The project will generate less sewage than a buildout of the Current limited Industrial 20ning. Rohner! Park has sufficient sewer treatment and disposal capacity at the Treatment plan. The project will require completion of a sewer pipeline to the east side of Rohnert Park called the 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 11 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 East side Trunk Sewer Phase 2. Another graph here showing the city's sewer treatment capacity. On the left-hand side that axis is page 11 . 10 11 12 13 14 Rp-somo-8-24-10 And then the last bar on the right is what the City has actually pumped over the last. five years from ground water, and it's about 1,000. So whereas it was determined we could sust.ainably use up to about. 5,000, we've used about 1,000 over the last few years. Fi rst, I want to show you the impact of a project that the City has already approved. So if we take the existing users on the bottom. on the right, and then we add the university District specific Plan that was approved a few years a!;Jo and add the water demand from that, assuming that it would only be supplied by ground water. This, again, is a very conservative assumption. 15 16 17 Next, we add on Sonoma Mount~i n vill age and the amount of water that they would use for their project, and, as you can see, the City is still quite a bit below what it has planned to use in terms of ground water, which is about 2500 acre feet per year. similarly, for surface water, the -- just to reiterate, the project, as proposed, we'll use less than the water that was planned to be used under the current limited Industrial 20ning, and, again, Rohnert Park has sufficient surface water to serve the project if we only 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 10 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 served it from surface water. A similar 9r~ph to the ground water, and that Page 10 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Rp-somo-8-24-1O the sewer flow on an an,:"ual basis from Rohnert Park. The first bar is what Rohnert Park's ownership share is after the treatment plant is expanded. So there is a Certified EIR and a Master plan to expand the treatment plant, and Rohnert Park will own a little over 5 million gallons a day. Our current share is about 4 and a half million gallons a day. That's before the expansion. Our current use is slightly under 3 million gallons a day. And, again, we can project forward that our current use will be on the right-hand side of this graph. Adding in the university District's sewage that that: project will generat:e and then Sonoma Mountain Village, we can show that we're still quit:e a bit below our current share of the treatment plant; we're about 3 and a half million with those two projects-, compared to about 4 and a half million of capacity. And now I'll turn it back over to Marilyn. Thank you. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 MANAGER PONTON: Thank you, Darri n. This slide outlines the approvals the Applicants are seeking which are necessary to implement 12 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 the proposed project. We will cover each of thtfse items in greater detai 1 in the next several s 1 ides. The proposed project would change and amend page 12 the General plan dRfs-is;n~-i~-n2~-l~he site. It is currently designated industrial. and the proposal is to designate 145 acres mixed-use. three acres for public facilities or institutional uses, and 27 acres for parks. The project would also change the zoning designation of the site fro~ limited Industrial to 10 pl anned Development. 11 This slide is a depiction of the proposed 12 General plan land use diagram. AS shown, the purple 13 indicates mixed-use; the light blue indicaTes public 14 institutional; and the green indicates parks and 15 recreation. The surrounding land uses within The city, 16 as we noted earlier, are primarily residential shown in 17 the various shades of yellow. 18 The proposed General plan Amendments 19 provided as an exhibit to the Staff report. 1.11 go 20 ahead and summarize, since there's a,number of details 21 on the General 'plan Amendments. 22 The proposed Final Development plan would be 23 added as a General plan figure. The new land use and 24 communiLy design policies specific to the Sonoma 25 Mountain village project would be added. There are also 13 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 several small edits that would include the project in various chapters throughout the General Plan, such as the neighborhood and focus areas, the community design element. the addition of proposed bike lanes in the page, 13 District. Rp-somo-8-24-10 6 This slide shows three elements of the project comprising "the Planned Development, and I'll go over each. The' first of the elements is the Final Devel,opment Plan. The Final Development Plan describes the proposed uses, the project phasing that we discussed earlier, and iL summarizes the zon)ng standards particular to this site. The Final Development: Plan also identifies t:he project:' s object:ives and describes the components that, support each one of those objectives for this project. The Final Development Plan also in~ludes the Municipal Services Plan, which indicates the proposed infrastructure and improvements to support the project including the parkland. This slide shows the northern half of the Final Development Plan. Rendering technology doesn't give a whole picture on this one slide so we'll do it in two slides. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 valley House Drive would be extended to the center of the site ending at the village square Park. The existing buildings in this area would continue the 15 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 ongoing reuse for office. service, retail, and many may also include future residential units. The public safety station and the future water tank site would be located in the northwest portion of the site, and the western boundary would be left along the railroad tracks page 15 Rp-somo-8-24-10 transportation circulation eiement, and changes to the housing element to include the Sonoma Mountain village project. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Several of the proposed amendments are edits that include the project's land uses in the General plan's calculations and figures. These types of amendments are very important data thaT ar.e needed that would depict population change, housing, jobs. ~chools and parks. That' s very important to the city when we pursue grants and various other projects to have that up-to-date data. Edits are also proposed to allow Specific plans and planned Developments that use form-based codes to set development density and standards for that particular project area and to modify land uses. Finally, edit:s are proposed to allow the project to meet the Parkland Dedication r:equirements as required by the City's ordinance and develop park sites that have a public easement. All of the General plan Amendments are included in your Attachment B. The entire site is proposed to be designated 14 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 Planned Development under the City's Zoning ordinance, and the project proposes adoption of a.new zoning district specific to the project site. This would be the Sonoma Mountain village Planned Development Zoning Page 14 Rp-somo-8-24-10 as open space. small parks would be located throughout the residential areas. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Thi s s 1 i de shows the southern half of the Final Development plan rendering with a village square and valley House Drive show~ in this graphic right along the top. The all-weather soccer field would be located near the western edge, which is the large green area over near the upper left corner. The ,southern portion of the site would primarily be supporting lower density land uses including residential with some office and retail. The area also includes a civic park site along the main north-south roadway that feeds back into the village square. The second element of the proposed Planned Development is the proposed new zoning District known as SMV P-D. The SMV P-D Zoning District provides the development standards, the allowed land uses and other key development features. unlike other zones in the City, the SMV P-D is propo!.ed as a form-based code. which means that it emphasizes physical features like 16 LEONARD 'REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 scale and design of buildings and streets and how they relate to each other, rather than our traditional land use and zoning which segregates land uses. '" The emphasis on this type of building form in form-based codes recognizes that land uses may change Page 16 . Rp-somo-8-24-10 over tlme but the buildings will remain. In providing a mix of land uses and housing types, form-based codes encourage smart growth concepts, such as compact design, pedestrian .and bike travel and compact .form. 10 There are two separate ordi nances that we are 11 seeking approval tonight t.o implement the SMV P-D. 12 Since there are no other form-based code provisions on 13 our existing Zoning Code at this time, one ordinance is 14 to allow form-based. codes in this special area, and the 15 second ordinance will propose the establishment of the 16 actual zoning district. I'll go over the next three 17 bullets in the following slides, which are also 18 components of the SMV P-D. 1~ I'd like to introduce the term "transect 20 zones," which are used to establish areas with different 21 requirements for physical form. The SMV Zoning District 22 establishes seven such subzones or transect zones for 23 this project area. 24 This slide depicts the primary uses in each 25 one of the transect zones. Permitted uses and 17 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC (415) 312-9040 development standards which are specific to each zone. such as lot sizes, setbacks, front:ages, building height and landscaping standards, would be included in the SMV P-D and they would be depicted under each particular transect or transect zone. This slide depicts the Regulating plan which Page 17 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 . Rp-somo-8-24-10 recelved a correspondence from the supervisor at the city's animal shelter; .it's included in your Exhibit 2. AS a result of this input. Staff is recommending a minor change to the Sonoma Mountain village P-D Zoning District. allowing up to five hens within four of t:he transect zones for your consideration tonight. It's related to chickens and poultry in t~e project area. The ori gi na 1 proposal was for two hens, and we included that in th.e ordinance which was considered by the planning Commission. But due to some particular matt:ers related to the number of hens, it was recommended by our animal shelter supervisor to increase that number to five. The thi rd component of t:he proposed pl anned Development is the Conditional Use Permit. The Planned Development ordinance requires issuance of a use permit. It may cover the entire project site, or separate permits c'Juld be issued for each phase_ The Applicant this evening is seeking approval for a Master Use Permit 19 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC (415) 312-9040 to cover the entire project.. Recommended conditions of approval for the use permit have been included in Attachment F. .Staff is recommending the addition of four new conditions since the planning Commission Hearing and one revision to the conditions which are shown in Exhibit. 4. I'll briefly go over those. page 19 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Rp-somo-8-24-10 depicts the boundaries of each t.ransect zone. This is actually the proposed zoning for "the site showing the location and distribution of the seven subzones that we just reviewed previously. 1',11 ask Darrin -to point out some of these areas. The brick red color indicates the zone with the highest intensity and variety of land uses; the pink indicates slightly less intensity and variety; and the orange and yellow-green areas indicate primarily residential land uses at lower intensities; the green areas indicate the parks and the open space. And important to the City, the bright red area in the upper northwest corner indicates the civic buildings. That would be what we discussed earlier, the future public safety and future water tank site. There are two gray areas proposed that are civic parking sit:es. This slide shows the street plan for the project. The project inciudes six str.eet types and alleys. Each of these classifications and the 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 18 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES. INC (415) 312-9040 configuration is defined in the Zoning District. AS I mentioned at the beginni n9 of the presentation. the staff has a couple of additional recommendations they'd like to introduce to Council tonight. Just prior to the Planning Commission Hearing, page 18 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Rp-somo-8-24-1O Two of the new conditions address the concerns of the animal shelter supervisor. staff has consulted with the supervisor and included a condition that information be dist:ributed on the care of chickens and contribution for construction of a struct:ure at. the animal shelter to house poultry in the event it is needed. Two other conditions are incl~ded, and one is related to recycling and hazardous materials policies that are in the General Plan. The other revised condition that: I mentioned earlier simply provides clarification for the funding, operation and maintenance of t:he private utilities On site. So we did do some clarifications and included them as additional conditions since the Planning commission Hearing for your consideration. 24 25 At this time, I'll turn it over t:o Darrin for discussion on the Development Agreement. 20 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC (415) 312-9040 DIRECTOR JENKINS: Thank you. Part. of one of the entitlements to!light is a Development Agreement. between the city and the developer. And the city's team paid special attention to protecting the interests of our existingre~dents to be sure that this project. will not be a burden to the City's finances. As you know, the City is in a page 20 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 difficult financiaRf-sSi~~~t~-;n4.-1aOnd so we wanted to make sure that: t:his project would pay its own way. And the Devel~pment Agreement includes about S17,OOO,OOO in one-'time money and benefit:s to the City. and it also includes, in addition to that:. $3 million per year. The agreement includes the developer funding of $4.6 million for regional traffic impacts. These would go to p:-ojects that address impacts of this project outside the City of Rohnert Park. The Development Agreemen't also provides for funding for additional public safety personnel, including start-up costs, up to about: $,900,000 for that in one-time money to train and outfit new officers. The agreement provides funding for other city service impacts of about $3 million in one-'time money for street improvements around the project, S700,OOO per year for st:reet maintenance outside of the project, and $2.2 million per year for city service impacts, such as 21 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 public safet:y, general government:, recreation. The agreement also includes about: S500,OOO to mitigate the impacts of the project on the city's greenhouse gas emissions. AS you know, the Council adopted a Greenhouse Gas Action plan for the city of Rohnert: Park -to reduce its municipal operations __ municipal operation greenhouse gas emissions. This project will necessitate city services such as police Page 21 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 this project:, and Rth-:tO~Os-8t-h2a~-~Ohe Development Agreement provides for the developer to provide to the .Chy approximately S6.7 mlllion in economic development fees. How the City could use economic development and how 'thi s project can he 1 pthe ci ty wi1:heconomi c development, the 6.7 million in fees from the developer combined with the approximately eight and a half million dollars per year that the Rohnert Park community Development commission, our redevelopment agency, will receive from the incremental increase in property tax at this site if this project is built-out. The city Council can -choose to use those funds to implement its newly adopted Economic Development Plan. As you know, three of the provisions in that plan provide for methods to re-tenant and re-occupy the vacant space in Rohnert Park. We- have about 43 percent vacant office space in Rohnert Park right now, 23 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 12 percent vacant industrial space, and 11 percent vacant retail space. Finally, 'the city council could elect to support development of the approximately 44 acres of undeveloped industrial land in the Cit:y of Rohnert Park. This map shows our undeveloped -- or underdeveloped industrial acreage in Rohnert Park. It'S depicted in white. So t:he gray areas are all the industrial lands in the center part of Rohnert park, and the white areas page 23 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 officers and fire equipme~t, and they'll be burning fossil fuels and generating greenhouse gas emissions. So the city can't simultaneously meet its Action plan and its goals that the council has adopted and add impacts from projects and lower those at the same time. The project provides for a site for a public safety station and. through the Public Facilities Financing Plan, will fund a replacement public safety station on the southern part of Rohnert Park. And they will also fund a fire vehicle. other elements of the Development Agreement include an international-size all-weather soccer field, so this would be an artificial turf soccer field, by the end of 2012, and it wi 11 be managed by the ci ty and available to our residents. The agreement provides for the developer to support the business incubator at that site. There's a 22 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 provision for an entry monument, you know, "Entering the City of Rohnert Park." There are provisions in there for the City's Growth Management ordinance and how it applies to this project to ensure we're complying with our Growth Management ordinance, and there's a section on how they will meet the City's affordable housing requi rements . Finally, there.s kind of a unique element t.o page 22 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Rp-somo-8-24-10 are properties t.hat are either totally vacant or, say, half developed. I've only counted the undeveloped half in my calculations, And now I'll turn it back over to Marilyn. MANAGER PONTON: Thank you, Darrin. At this time I'd like to introduce Chris Stabenfeldt to discuss the Environmental Impact Report. chri s. 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 PROJECT MANAGER STABENFELDT: Thank you, Marilyn. Good eveni ng. I'm goi ng to keep thi s bri ef , but I'm going to provide an overview of the EIR process and a brief summary of the findings of the environmental document. An NOP was released for the project in May of 2007. There was a 30-day public review period and there 24 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 was a scoping meeting during that review period, in June. The Draft ErR was released in August. There was a 45-day public review period wh~ch closed in October of 2009. The Final ErR was completed in July of 2010, and the Final EIR includes revisions' to the Draft EIR. including revisions to the project descript:ion and mitigation. '" It's important to note that the errata and the changes in the document did not change any of the page 24 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 conclusions in theR~-:aOf~-E8I-R2~~10all the impacts stayed the same. The document also includes response to comments on the oraft EIR and includes the Mitigation Monhoring Reponing program. The Draft EIR addressed 15 issues, .a 11 the issues identified in the CEQA checklist. I think some of the key ones were traffic circulation. utilities. global climate change. It's also important to note that this document was prepared at a program level looking at a buildout of the entire project. and there may be a need for additional review when there are subsequent entitlement requests t:hat come forward to you. We identified 19 significant unavoidable project and cumulative impacts in the document. And ; t' s worth noti ng that 12 of those. were related to traffic. other significant unavoidable impacts included 15 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 aesthetics, air quality, noise, population and housing and, once again, traffic. It'S also worth noting that the majority of the traffic impacts were for roadway segments and intersections outside of the city, which you have no control over mitigation, but I do note the City is working closely with surrounding jurisdictions to address those issues. 10 The 'Final EIR responded to a total of 14 comment letters. You had five from state agencies, three of which were fr~amgeca2\trans, one local agency and 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 The project proposes amending the General plan designation for the site to allow development of a mixed-use village that incorporates smart growth design principles. It promotes numerous General plan goals, policies and objectives. The mixed uses are oriented around a central public plaza that would serve as a gathering place for the community. The Zoning District development standards would provide for consistent community character, which ~ould encourage pedestrian activity and supporting other forms of transportation as identified in the General Plan including bike travel. Parks and services ani within walking distance of the residences, and the project would reuse underutilized and vacant buildings, and retail and 27 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 10 11 commercial office uses on site would create jobs. The project has been designed to foster smart growth principles, as we've mentioned. It would be a pedestrian-oriented development with a grid-street pattern. a central mixed-use component, and linkages and accessibility t.o existing proposed public and private open space, bike and pedestrian paths, commercial centers and transit opportunities. The development would contribute to a cityscape providing visual interest and it would have its own distinct character. Both the Final Development Plan and the page 27 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 13 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 six individuals. Individual comments included comments with regard to water quality, traffic, biological resources, noise, phasing and development, and the timing of mitigation. AS an attachment to your Staff Report, we've concluded a Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program, which identifies the feasible mitigation required to reduce the impacts to us significant to the project. The Reporting plan.includes required mitigation, specific actions and implementing responsibilities, timing of the actions, responsibility for ensuring compliance. And the Applicant is obligated to implement all the mitigation measures. MANAGER PONTON: Thank you, Chri s. At this time I would like to conclude with a 26 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 10 review of Staff's analysis on this project. I'll start off with parks. The project includes 11 proposed park sites and one open space site for a total of just over 23 acres of proposed new parks and open space. This exceeds the project's requirement of open space and park dedication by approximately 1.5 acres. The park plan was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation commission in June, and they found the park plan met the City's requirements and recommended approval. page 26 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 15 Rp-somo-8-24-10 Development Agreement, as Darrin mentioned, include a plan. for provision for affordable housing units on the site to meet the city's Inclusionary Housing ordi.nance. The program would meet the requi rement of 15 percent affordable units. The developer would also provide land to affordable housing developers at no cost. The proj ect also i ncl udes 198 second-dwell i ng units, which would provide additional affordable housing opportunities which would be beyond the 15 percent requi rement. In conclusion, the planing commission has recommended to the City Council approval of the proposed project. This entails recommendations that the Council certi fy the fi na 1 Envi ronmenta 1 Impact Report, amend the 28 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 General Plan designation for the project site, including the text, amendments and figures for the General plan, introduce ordinances to implement the proposed zoning District, approve the Final Development plan for the project, rezone the project site, approve the Master conditional Use permit, and introduce an ordinance for the Development Agreement. That concludes Staff's presentation on the project this evening. 10 11 '" MAYOR STAFFORD: Okay. Do any council Members have questions? page 2 8 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 COUNCIL MEMBER CALLINAN: I don't. not ri ght now. MAYOR STAFFORD: No one else? okay. Go ahead. sorry. COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: t- don't have any just yet. Oh, I do, actually, if you don't mind. I knew I have some as we were going along. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: Go ahead. COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: So I have quest"i ens love the slides about ground water supply and our surface water supply and how you compare what we are projected to use as opposed to our proposed Max use. My question is: You added in university 29 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 6 Oistrict Specific plan and then you also added in the Sonoma Mountain village project. I'm curious about the other specific plans that we have. and Irecogn;ze we're not talking about those tonight. but, yet, when I think about the whole picture, has staff analyzed that with those specific plans, and where do we sit with ground water supply, surface water supply, sewage capacity? DIRECTOR JENKINS: Yeah, that's an excellent question, and I can show a little bit of a slide to kind of talk qualitatively about it and then talk about, also. that the -- let me show this slide here. well, maybe without the slides. page 29 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Rp-somo-B-24-10 come across in my 14 years in the Council. And I am sometim~s facetious; I do not mean that to be a faceti ous remark but, rather, one that shows the incredible amount of detail which is being considered in bringing this project and these actions in front of us. My questions may seem somewhat piecemeal, but, be that as it may, I figure that if I ask a question abou1: California tiger salamander mitigation, then somebody will be able to answer that question. And so my first question in terms. of this project is: since the Endangered species Act -- Federal Endangered Species Act and. also, the california Endangered species Act per1:ain to this project, is it 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 31 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 clear what degree of mitigation is going to be required on this project by u.s. Fish and wildlife service and cali forni a Depanment of Fi sh and Game? MANAGER PONTON: Thank you, Council Member. I'll ask chris stabenfeldt to give us the details re 1 ated to your questi on. 10 11 12 13 PROJECT MANAGER STABENFElDT: The mitigation -- I was going to look specifically a"t how it reads, but it requires a negotiation. so you have to comply with what mitigation strategy is acceptable. so. yes, i"t will be fully mitigated; it will be compliant with curren"t conditions, regulatory requirements. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: And is it known at page 31 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-B-24-10 The ci1:Y's 2005 wa"ter supply Assessment included this site with it being built out for the zoning "that's in place now, which is light industrial, and i"t estimated how much water that site would need if it was built. out in that manner. This project is n01: going to exceed that amount of water, and so the 2005 Water Supply Assessment and then our subsequent Urban Water Management plan both included all the specific Plan areas at their buildout as well as this site a't its buildout. and they're not proposing to use anymore water. So our analysis did include all -- a full buildout of Rohnert Park's General Plan. 30 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: Great. And the same for sewage capacity as well? DIRECTOR JENKINS: Yeah. The sewage capacity is more than adequate for all the Speci fi c pl an areas as well as this site. 10 11 12 COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: Great. Thank you. DIRECTOR JENKINS: You're welcome. MAYOR STAFFORD: Council Member Mackenzie. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: We 11 , congratulations on bringing to us probably the most complex package of proposals. for us to approve in one evening, with your accompanying data, that I've ever page 30 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-B-24-10 this time, while we're in the process of considering approving this project, is it known whether there are actual occurrences of tiger salamander in the project area? PROJECT MANAGER STABENFELDT: I'm looking at the actual impact discussion in the document right now, and it acknowledges that this is potential habitat, that there have been specifically within oQe mile of the project area. So recognizing that. it's recognized as pO"tential habitat and requires mitigation as described in Mitigation 3.3-2(a) on page 3.3-23 of the Draft EIR. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: And so we can 32 LEONARD RI;PORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 anticipate that as n if this project is approved tonight and, as we move forward, then there are further actions that are going to have to be taken by the Applicant to meet "these requirements, but we don't exactly know what "they are at this time? PROJECT MANAGER STABENFELDT: Correct. And i"t's pretty explicit in the Mitigation if you read through it. It basically says when you're about to begin the g'rading, you have to initiate consultation n COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: I'm starting off with this because I'm quite comfortable having being involved in salamander mitigation and know t~at there's interim guidelines and know that there's potential Page 32 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 problems here. and I wouldn't want anybody, you know, listening to what we're doing tonight to. think that because we have -- we may have leaped these particular hurdles tonight, that the tiger salamander problem has gone away. PROJECT MANAGER STABENFELDT: Quoting out of 3.3-2(b): "Details of the requirements of the Incidental Take Permit would be developed during consultation with u.s. Fish and wildlife service would likely include..... 33 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 And then we identified what typically would occur. So... COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: Right. okay. So -- PROJECT MANAGER STABENFElDT: It' s a program document recognizing the development that could occur later -- 10 11 12 13 14 COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE:. And I heard what you said when you said it was a program document. Another matter that came up. and excuse me while I look through the various bits and pieces here. we're going over to traffic now. We have a decade-long history with our General plan when it was updated in 2000 of saying that there page 33 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 this a problem, or are you quite comfonable with the state of the Final EIR and the state of the ._ PROJECT MANAGER STABENJ=ElDT: 1'11 speak to the EIR first quickly and then if you'd like to talk. Essentially we've acknowledged that they're significant and. unavoidable and also acknowledged that. you don't have control over the mitigation. It's in jurisdictions outside of your control. we've also tried to characteri ze that" the Ci ty has been - - is goi ng to be collecting impact fees and is attempting to work with other jurisdict"ions within the area that" where t"hese 35 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 impacts occurred at intersections and segments and try to improve it. can't control it; all we can do is acknowledge the worst-case condition which we've done in a document and full disclosure. I can't certainly predi ct an outcome. 10 11 12 13 14 15 COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: And I understand that, and these are leading -- you know, these are leading questions I'm asking you for the purposes of getting some of this information in front of people who may wonder about traffic .impacts and what we're trying to do, because we.are making a good faith effort. But possibly the City Engineer might have something to add to this. DIRECTOR JENKINS: Well, the Development Agreement provides that with each building permit for a page 35 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 were going to be regional transportation mitigation fees, and we established those with the university District Development Agreement. But we have been polit.ically incapable of, in Sonoma County, of getting any other jurisdictions to agree to these n to entering in wi th us when we say that we'll pay some parti a 1 amount towards mitigating traffic that" we are partially generating through a project that we approve. And this came to a head with the city of Cotati when they responded to the Draft EIR and they said, "well, yeah, you guys are proposing this project, 34 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 14 yes, it's going to have an impact on our traffic in the City of Cotat.i and you've never -- you in Rohnert park, as you've been going through this, have never sat down with us," and I'd just like it to be made clear to everybody what is going on here. Because there are transportation mitigation fees proposed in this project, and they're -- but it is proposed that they go into a fund awaiting the outcome of political agreements, and, in the meantime, I think it would be useful for people t:o hear from you just what you envision happening once, again, this project moves forward h when it: moves forward. Is there any anticipation that we may get into serious disagreements with the ci ty of Cotati over thi s proj ect or not:? Is Page 34 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 residential unit. the developer will contribute to regional traffic impacts. The City will collect that money and then use it for projects that really mitigat:e impacts of regional -- on regional traffic facilities. Those could include Cotati. Highway 101 or in the county. So Rohnert Park wi 11 be ready when those ot:her jurisdictions are ready t:o do capacity~increasing projects in their jurisdiction. We can't unilat:erally go into their jurisdiction and fix the impacts of the 36 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 14 15 project, but we will be ready with our fair share when they're ready to do those projects. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: Fine. Thank you. Continuing on traffic, Bodway is brought up, and there's two aspects t:o this. . No. I, there's a distinction made again here between Bodway as being in public ownership and then prior to that an infrastructure that most on-site infrastruct:ure will be privat"ely owned. And by that I take it to mean that most of the streets are -- yeah, the st.reets in the project will be privately owned. Is that correct? DIRECTOR JENKINS: Yeah. The existilftg campus is in private ownership, and that would not change with this approval; it would remain in private ownership. page 36 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Rp-somo-8-24-10 There would be public access easements on all the roadways, pedestrian pathways and bicycle facilities. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: And so by contrast to other road projects in the City of Rohnert: park, which we've been talking about in our budget, but we rely on state gasoline tax and other sources of revenues to maintain the standard of our streets, how will the standard of the streets be maintained on this privately-owned project? Is "that -- can that be described as there"s going be to some assessment 24 25 37 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 district formed? HOW is this going to happen? DIRECTOR JENKINS: The Development Agreement: prav; des that the developer has to come up with a mechanism acceptable to the City, .and it leaves the option open to them whether that' s -- 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: So this is a question for -- (Reporter interrupts.) COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: In any event, I presume that when the Applicant makes a presentation. then that's a question that could be properly asked of the Applicant then, as to what they might be planning? DIRECTOR JENKINS: (Nods head.) COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: okay. let's see what else. oh, Bodway. Bodway will be extended to page 37 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 Incubator support was written down, and I wanted you to speak to that just a little bit. DIRECTOR JENKINS: There are provisions in the Development Agreement that if the incubator's revenue is less than a certain amount, that a portion of their rent will be forgiven by the developer. VICE MAYOR BELFORTE: And, then, my understanding is the 6.7 million in the economic development, fee can be used exclusively for the City's 39 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 economi c development efforts; is that correct? We can't put it into the General Fund to try and balance the budget? 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 DIRECTOR JENKINS: Yes. The Development Agreement provi des that it shall be held by the ci ty in a separate account and used exclUSively for the City's economic developm.ent efforts, provided, however, that the developer shall reserve... okay. So the Council has discretion to determine what is economic development. For instance, you've adopted an Economic Development Plan. and, in the past, that's been the responsibility of the Assistant city Manager. And, for instance, that would be, I think. a reasonable use of this money would be if that -- one of their primary functions is to do economic development, then the council could make that determination and use the funding for that. So it could page 39 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 Rai 1 road Avenue under thi s project? DIRECTOR JENKINS: Yes. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: okay. Fai r enough. conditions of Approval. These conditions of Approval. do they have anything to do about the naming of the streets? Is this going to be, you know -- I guess you live in Sonoma Mountain Village when this project comes to fruition so you don't have to worry about all the streets being named with the same letter 38 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 of the alphabet? MANAGER PONTON: The naming of the streets will come before us generally in the mapping process, and we go through a ri gorous revi ew of those proposed names with the county dispatch, our dispatch, the post office, and if there is a desire on Council's part, we can certainly recommend that this Sonoma Mountain Village has its own letter and continue our historical process on street naming. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: okay. That's it. I'm very impressed by the completeness of the documentation and look forward to further discussions. as thi seven; ng wears on. MAYOR STAFFORD: vice Mayor Belforte. VICE MAYOR BELFORTE: Yes. Thank you. It was a great presentation. Just a few questions. Page 38 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 provide some relief to the General Fund to the extent the General Fund is funding economic development now. VICE MAYOR BElfORTE: Right. But we couldn't transfer in $4 million to say would be used for future economic development? DIRECTOR JENKINS: Yeah. Absolutely right. And something to point out about this 6.7 million is that it's paid incrementally with each building permit. 40 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, IN(. (415) 312-9040. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16. 17 So it will come in over the buildout of the project, which we've heard toni ght is 12 to 20 years. So if it's 20 years. that's a little over 300,000 a year. VICE MAYOR BElFORTE: Right. Yes. And depending upon how that's used, yes, if it's used for an assistant city manager partially funding, it wouldn't leave much, but it could be put in a fund and grow? DIRECTOR JENKINS: Council's discretion on how they choose to use that money. VICE MAYOR BElFORTE: Okay. All right. And then the only other question that I really had was, it says, "Requires completion of the East Side Trunk Sewer." And that' s -- is that Phase 2? DIRECTOR JENKINS: That is Phase 2 of the East Side Trunk Sewer Project, yes. VICE MAYOR BEL FORTE : '" So do we have an approximate date that Phase 2 might kick in? I know page 40 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 you're. talking 12 ~o-Stg~~8a-;..2s4.-1~ut: is that: 20 -- what, in six years? DIRECTOR JENKINS: well, we're talking here about Phase 2 of the East. Side Trunk Sewer project., not phase 2 of the development project. VICE MAYOR BE.lFORTE: Thank you. okay. Great. Thank you. And how long do you t:hink before that is up and runn; ng? 41 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 6 DIRECTOR JENKINS: The real stumbling block to building that project is generating funds from the developers that: need that: project. And I can't 'tell you when they're going to fund that project. Once funding is made available to that project, then I think it will take a little -- say a year or so to build that project; it is a sizable project:. One of the things that the developers need in order to get financing are some of their entitlements. So if the Council considers this project favorably tonight, that will, I think, have a beneficial impact on their ability to gel?erate funds to build the infrastructure that they need. VICE MAYOR BELFORTE: For all developers that are on the east side of town? 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 DIRECTOR JENKINS: well, we're just talking about Sonoma Mountain village tonight, but I've heard from other developers that it would help them get page 41 19 20 21 .. ..

Thanks. 22 23 24 25 43 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 sorry about that. VICE MAYOR BELFORTE: NO, that's okay. I just want to make sure 'that I got thi s ri ght . So with regards to the East side Trunk Sewer line, if this project is not approved, then the other developers are going to have a more difficult time raising, the funds and starting the development on their projects, 50 it will delay their projects as well? DIRECTOR JENKINS : well, I'd 1 i ke to answer that maybe in the reverse. I think the more parties that you have trying to fund anything, the easier it is to come up with the funding. If you're splitting a $20 mill ion project three ways, tha't' s harder to do than spli'tting it four ways. I won't comment on the u whether it makes it harder for them or delays their process. VICE MAYOR BELFORTE: okay. Great. Thank you very much. MAYOR STAFFORD: Did our City Attorney have a page 43 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-1O financing if they had their entitlements, yes. VICE MAYOR BElFORTE: Okay. All right. Great. Thank you very much. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: Madam Mayor, if I could just ask a quick technical question that was brought up by the vi ce Mayor? MAYOR STAFFORD: Certainly. 42 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: phase 1-0 under the Municipal Plan here, it's, as I read it, very clear that under "sanitary sewer," that if the existing system is flowing at full capacity, it's am:icipated that once complete, the East side Trunk Sewer main will provide sewer capacity for all of Sonoma Mountain Village. So none of the phases can be built until the east side sewer pipeline is co.mplete, or are t:here possibilities in the early phases at: all of construction? DIRECTOR JENKINS: There are provisions in the Development Agreement for the use of t:he existing buildings. when Agilent built n or HP built the original campus, they did purchase sewer capacity from the City, and they do have capacity associated with those existing buildings. So infillinside the exist:ing'buildings cannot exceed the existing capacity -- sewer capacity from those buildings, bUT there could be conversion of the page 42 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-1O comment on so~ething?

MAYOR STAF'FORD: He answered the quest:ion? okay. 44 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 I don't have any questions, so it's time for the Proponent to -- COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: I actually have one more question if we may, Your Honor. MAYOR STAF'FORD: Sure. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: I had a question about the General Plan Amendments portion. And one of the slides says that it adjusts -- what's necessary is to adjust calculations and figures related to land use designations, population, housing, including housing element amendments, jobs, employments, schools and parks, and my question is: HOW does this affect the trigger cap? If, for instance, Phase 1 were to build out, how would that affect our trigger cap in our General pl an? DIRECTOR JENKINS: Yes. The question refers to the Growth Management ordi nance, and the '!,;'tri gger cap" ;s a term that's used in the ordinance to determine when growth management allocations have to be done. page 44 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 In other words. if there's a certain intensity of development, and there are a number of factors that go into the trigger, then the City has to implement a cap on the number of permits that it issues for housing. And. in a general sense. the Growth Management Drd; nance provides that the city won't grow faster than 1 percent 45 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 per year. That equates to approximately 225 building permits per year. There are also provisions that if there's no growth or less than 225 per year, that those accumulate and go into a bank, of sorts. So because the ci ty rea 11 y hasn' t had a"ny of the growth that' 5 subject to the Growth Management Ordinance for the last ten years. there are over 2,000 units in the bank right now to be allocated. when we were working on this Development Agreement and coming up with the provisions for how many permits that they would receive under this, we did look at how many permits could be allocated, how many were in the bank, and the other requests from other developers. COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: Okay. So would there be a -- I guess my question is: when you looked at that, would there be -- would there ever be a place where we would need to start deciding who was going to get to build next? who was going to be allocated the next amount of units, I guess? 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 DIRECTOR JENKINS: Dependi n9 on the pace of page 45 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 DIRECTOR JENKINS: Ask me about 1-(. I got. that. one memori zed. COUNCIL M~MBER BREEZE: okay. what is it? Okay. Thank you. MAYOR STAFFORD: Council Member Mackenzie. 47 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, IN(. (41~) 312-9040 COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: Yes. This is to the city Attorney. under the Growth Management ordinance, the Agilent site was not considered. The Growth Management ordi nance, as' I remember i t well, related t.o the Speci~ic plan areas that. were added to our sphere of Influence and within urban growth boundary in the year 2000. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 we have, of course, at that time, since Agilent gave every indication they were continuing to use it as light. industria!, it was not part of our discussions in any way, shape or form. But if I recollect again -- and I'm like Council Member Breeze; I have some stuff tagged, but I don't have everythi ng tagged in here. Was there not some agreement arrived at as to which units in this project would count against the growth cap and others that would not? CITY ATTORNEV KENYON: Yes. There clearly is there was an, understanding; there was interpretation for the Gr.owth Management Ordinance and resolutions that related to the Growth Management page 47 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 the development., there may come a time when the trigger cap is triggered. It really depends on the requests of the other developers. AS you know, university District has an allocation. This would give an allocation to Sonoma Mountain village. Depending on the optimism of 46 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, IN(' (415) 312-9040 the other development proponents and how many they ask for and what the pace of t:heir development would be and then, also, depending on what the market would absorb. In other words, people may ask for more permit.s than they end up building. And so while it may seem like there would be a shortage, in actual fact, when it came t:ime to build those permits, there wouldn't be any short:age. 10 11 12 13 So we can't 'tell those things until some development actua 11 y happens. And, of course, we wouldn't run into the cap un'til at least 2,000 homes were built because we have that backlog. COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: okay. And then just remind me quickly, because I had it written down earlier and I can't seem to find it: at this point in time. okay, here it is. phase 1 is 483 multi-family and 189 single-family. I-A? DIRECTOR JENKINS: If you say so. COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: okay. Thank you. Sorry. I wasn't meaning to put you on the spot. page 46 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 ordinance that determined 'that a portion of the project. was not subject to the Growth Management Ordinance. And there is a provision in the Development Agreement that clearly sets out what those units 'that are exempt are, 48 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, IN(. (415) 312-9040 and I believe the figure is 350.

RICHARD POPE: I've been well-trained. city Staff, as usual, have done an excellent job in explaining the technical details of this application, so I'm going to' try and stay away from all the entitlement and processing code words and explain to you and the public what our vision is and what benefits page 49 23 24 25 Incubator is launcR~-d.om~~8bS2~~~Ort to return just as Codding promised. 2007. steel frame factory starts up, more jobs, and the AT & T lease is signed. In 2008, 51 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 lure Corncast out of Santa Rosa, even more jobs. And in 2010, DC Power arrives after falling in love with the vision, and their intent is to expand and bring even more jobs. 10 So with that, I'd like to explain a little about our entitlement journey and why we made this significant commitment and gutsy investment. In 2006, after we applied by Rohnert Park Muni ci pal Code, we came before the pl anni ng commi ss i on for a preliminary plan approval. We were given great encouragement and conception approval. We followed this up with a presentati'on to the City Council and an ad hoc committee and got unanimous encouragement to go ahead with that plan and vision. The members who were involved then and gave us this encouragement and our still decision makers now are Mayor Pam Stafford, cou.ncil Member Arnie Breeze, Council Member Jake Mackenzie and Council Member Joe callinan. Everyone understood, and we were informed by the Council, the Planning Commission, the Staff, that even though we had been given a conceptual approval, we would have to accomplish the following: We would have to rewrite sections of the General plan to accommodate page Sl 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 we believe we can bring to t.he city of Rohnert Park while at the same t.ime progressing Codding's small business act.ivities. 50 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 We believe, and so do m~ny other informed people, that with Sonoma Mountain village, we have arrived at a point in time where there are so many advantages in moving forward with this community, it would be unfortunate to discard them. I have personally been involved in entitlements and development communities for many years but have never been involved in a situation such as this one where so many of the stakeholders benefit. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 As you can see, this shows the chronology of the significant. events related to S.onoma Mountain village site. In the '80s, HP builds the technology campus, and, oh, dear, in 2004, Agilent out sources jobs to Malaysia, closes the site. The City applicates for a community plan. Agilent agrees. Codding buys the site, meets with the Council, and Brad Baker starts planning his vision. In 2005, jobs recovery plan is launched as Codding starts to refurbish the existing buildings. The Council encourages the presented plan which includes 1,694 homes and the promise of 4,414 jobs. In 2006, a bold and innovative move was the Nonprofit Business Page 50 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 the mixed-use zoning, and the Planning commission and the city council would have to approve the rewrite_ 52 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 In conjunction with the Cit.y, we needed to produce a program- 1 evel Envi ronmenta 1 Impact Report, have our open-space proposal reviewed by the Parks and Rec's committee and produce a Planned Development zoning document, produce a mixed-use Development plan, and negotiate a Development Agreement which was acceptable to the City and one that protects the citizens. All this we have almost done. Although this conceptual approval was not a legal ac:tion or a legal approval, we believed we could accomplish all of the above tasks, relied heavily on the conceptual approval when making the following financial decisions. We paid in good faith our contribution of $3.5 million for upgrades to the Rohnert Park sewer system. We agreed to. pay $833,000 to the city and its consultants for EIR processing. we employed various other consultants to progress in the design and spent another three and a half million dollars. We spent $5 million on t.he renovation of Building 1. And because we believed in our plan, and with the help o~he city. we created the first business incubator in the North Bay to attract businesses to our new community in Rohnert page S2 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 park, and we started to produce jobs. To just take a minute of .everyone's time, I 53 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC (415) 312-9040 10 personally, and I don't think I'm alone, think that economic recovery at an international, national, state and local level is all about jobs. Jobs equal salaries; sa 1 ari es equal purchases; purchases equal sales tax; and sales tax equals a heal'thy city. AS a footnote and a symptom of the current economic trend, just a few weeks ago, HP announced it's laying off another 9,000 people in the Bay Area and hiring 6,000 more in Asia. The reason? So they can keep up wiTh their competitors who are all doing the same thi ng. Hence, this unfortunate and continuing trend was one of the drivers for our new plan, to bring back jobs to Rohnert Park in innovative ways, which incidentally we an~ no one else could do with the time constraints of a limited industrial zoning. So today we have invested $12.8 million in Sonoma Mountain village, consequently Rohnert Park. This is the very reason that the conceptual approval phase of the entitlement process is an important and serious step and is used by many cities, and it's critical to an Applicant when considering the risks of their investment. It j'ust flags the city's intentions. Just for sompeagSeig5;t context, this photograph 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 This would be the village square and the 55 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 center of the retail element: shops, jobs, sales tax. There will be community activities, grocery shops, cinema, outdoor theater, coffee carts, after, of course employment, a special gathering place for residents and employees. 10 We decided to invest in renovation to some key buildings to show the" public and the business community our intentions and t~e quality we would, bring to the design and construction of Sonoma Mountain village if and when we got the approval. Some of you will remember the old Building I, and this is what has happened to it. This shows our steel frame company and what our steel frame company can achieve. And the mere fact that this company is here to stay in Sonoma Mountain village demonstrates that the mixed-use zoning we wish to obtain will allow the continuation of the existing industrial use. By the way, the investment was a cost . of 5 million, and renovations of this nature will only be possible if we have the flexibility of the mi"~ed-use zoning which will allow us to react to different economic and social dynamics. A light industrial zoning would, if ever built, result in more of this and probably an increase in truck traffic. The General plan Amendment is our request to change from a limited industrial zoning to a mixed-use page 55 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 of the existing campus and its contrast and planning 54 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 relationship with adjoining convnunities, and this is how we wish to transform the old abandoned campus into a deeply sustainable workable community and one that fits appropriately with the surroundings and neighbors. The site is within a redevelopment area, within the urban growth boundary, and does not need annotation or any more water than is now allocated. So in simple terms, it is land that should be working for the benefit of the city and bringing in revenue now. In fact, it's almost already shovel-ready. and we have already done some shoveling. Many different people will be able to live at Sonoma Mountain village. There will be rental property, and a1: today's prices, homes for sale will range from $285,000 to S2 million and everything in between. This is truly five-minute living. Each home is less than five minutes from the village square. Also, once the SMART" Train is running, each home will be within walking or cycling distance to Cotati station, cutting down even further the need for car usage. We want to create a destination, which actually was talked about this afternoon, _which will resonate with Rohnert Park's stated design to become a destination city and not just a sign on the freeway. page 54 24 Rp-somo-8-24-10 56 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 plan which enables us to develop a complete neighborhood and gives us more business options, al,lows us better adaptability to the new economy and, most importantly, is a plan that can survive and thrive even though there are no more Agi 1 ents. The Rohnert Park General Plan was approved in 2000, and its predictions and subsequent zoning were based on-solid principles and the best information available at the time. In "fact, the plan has lasted reasonably well with a few strategic changes will reach fruition. 11 12 13 Incidentally, before Agilent came along, this 1 and was zoned res i denti alto resonate wi th the surrounding zone-in, and I believe and have been informed that the change in zone-in was done to ,react to a different circumstance and the economic dynamic that would benefit the residents of the City. The pioneers who built Rohnert Park were not afraid of change in di rection w.hen necessary. We believe that our plan and the items that are included in the oevelopment Agreement will help the City in its quest for i~inent economic recovery and an approval of Sonoma Mountai n vi 11 age will show the flexibility, willingness and strong leadershi~ that is required to react" to different and critical 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 56 Rp-somo-8-24-10 57 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC.

Just to give the flavor of what we are facing in the global real estate economy; this is what I've learned on my various trave;s recently. There is a real and probably permanent shift ta'king place which has been brought about by the fact that government i nveS1:ments are constrained by limitations on liquidity together with corporate competition and expanding customer and employee dynamics in the new emerging markets. These shifts are favored in India, china, Indonesia, and other low-cost able markets and have significantly reduced investments in both manufacturing and office construction in Europe, Japan and the u.s. GA countries are seeing money flow into more durable investments and city centers and proven retail markets while manufacturing, food processing and likened industry continues to shift into southeast Asia and, hence, what happened to Agilent is still happening. This circumstance did not exist and was not conceived of when the Rohner! Park General plan was approved. And if i.t had been, there may have been differem: decisions taken. page 57 Rp-somo-8-24-10 59 LEONARO REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 6 occur: A community to be built that puts Rohnert Park in the international limelight, a circumstance that will spread the.word to a wider nn of business decision makers who may wish to relocate their companies. So there will he more companies in Rohnert park, jobs, fees, taxes a.nd contribU1:ions to the city. A contribution of economic development money to be made to the city throughout S4,OOO a unit exaction can be used -- which is contained in the Development Agreement -- can be used so that the city can build funds for its own economic development initiatives, as oarrin explained. we believe this to be a significant and innovative benefit. An entitlement that allows a landowner to build a mixed-use community which is unique, one it believes in, one the city believed in when it was first presented to them, and one it really wishes to build and, also, one that it wishes to s'tar1: now and has, in fact, started. It will .create long-term leasing value for the property owners; it will maximize much-needed local government opportunities. Jobs now is the key. Also, it will maximize local revenues, and the flexibility that this entitlement will give will minimize the local impact on future economic recessions. So you can understand the benefits. I want 'to 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 60 page 59 Rp-somo-8-24-10 58 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 10 Codding and it:s real estate advisors are totally and utterly convinced that due to current and foreseeable economic circumst:ance, it would take years and years to build out the Agilent land under its current zoning and believes this constraint would be short-sided and would 1:o'tally ignore the current foreseeable economic glance. And it's not a viable solution for any land owner, but the fact: t:hat our zoning request:s include industrial use and, should circumstances change, Sonoma Mountain village will be in an ideal position t:o take advantage of any and all new dynamics relat:ively quickly. Agilent planned t:o develop 22 acres of industrial land. We have provision for 51 acres in the proposed plan. oarrin has said we have the option of bringing 13 million square foot of nonresidential if circumstances demand. It is also a stated fact that it would have been impossible for us to have attracted tenan'ts such as C.omcast, AT & T and DC Power.

For another point, Happy Birthday, Joe. So good evening to the public, Mayor Stafford, City Council Members and staff. My name is Kirstie Moore, and I am the Oeve 1 opmen't Manager for Sonoma Mountain village. when Agilent closed hs doors in 2003 and most of the 2500 jobs went to Malaysia, it left a big hole in the community. Indeed, Agilent were planning to double the size of 1:he campus and had even predicted that it would employ close to 8,000 people here on site if "'[he dot-com boom had continued. As you can see from this slide, we currently have 701 jobs on site today with 2,576 planned by 2022. We also estimate an additional 1,198 regional jobs by 2022. These would be permanent jobs created locally but not within 'the project, mostly from businesses that graduate from the Sonoma Mountain business cluster, then another 640 temporary construc'tion jobs through buildout. And again the recurring theme: Jobs equals salaries, equals spending, equals sales,tax, equals city revenue. Earlier on in this process, we were:-asked by 61 page 60 Rp-somo-8-24-10 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 4 the city council Members to ensure that we would produce a range of well-paying jobs, a point made strongly by Council Member Amie Breeze at one of the Sonoma Mountain Village update meetings, and this is the result so far. AS you can see from this slide, the average salary of Sonoma Mountai n vi 11 age wi 11 be over $60.000 per year with annual payroll of over 265 million of buildout. The average salary in Sonoma County is 53,076, and over half of the jobs created by Sonoma Mountai n vi 11 age wi 11 be above that. It'S also interesting to note that the U.S. Census Bureau tracks employment. by sector for every county in the u.S. and reports this data through QWI online. The last decade for which complete data is available, which is 1998 to 2008, shows a significant shift away from manufacturing into office jobs in Sonoma county. 6 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Although due to the uncenainty of the entitlement process and the fact we are unable to guarantee the vision as yet, many companies have already chosen to locate to Sonoma Mountai n vi 11 age for the following three primary reasons: The future availability of housing to be built on site for their employees with sale and rental cutting down expense and travel and time away from family; the overall vision of 62 Page 61 Rp-somo-8-24-1O '7 with every building permit pulled, we will pay school impact fees which over the life of the project will amount to nearly $6 million. As Sonoma Mountain village is located within the city's redevelopment area, the value of the land and hs improvements are assessed, and the difference between the assessed value in 1987 and today goes back into the redevelopment agency, which at buildout would translate to Sa.5 million per year, two and a half million dollars for affordable housing and $6 million for COC projects and programs. That would be how the split would be. Therefore, development of Sonoma Mountain village will increase funding to the redevelopment agency and will enable them to pursue more captive projects and programs including affordable housing projects. We have 1694 units planned for Sonoma Mountain village to be built over the next 12 to 20 years. 30 percent of these units will be affordable; 15 percent deed restricted and subject to the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, and the other 15 percent affordable by design. Mr. Dav~d Grabill of the Sonoma County Housing Advocacy Group sent a letter to the planning Commission highlighting the housing advocacy group's support_ of Sonoma Mountain Village and the overall plan stating tha't it includes a strong affordable housing 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 64 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 page 63 Rp-somo-8-24-10 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 sustainability and environmental responsibility that aligns with many company's internal government's requirements; and the complete neighborhood approach providing essential services for homeowners and tenants in a central location eliminating the need for multiple daily car trips. AS you can see from the testimonials from some of our tenant.s, there is a recurring theme. They all Simply believe in the community vision and tha't it is the right thing to do. The city stands to receive considerable revenue from Sonoma Mountain Village and as you can see from this table, even without fact.oring in property taxes, the total by 2022 is over $79 million. As oarrin mentioned earlier in the Development Agreement for Sonoma Mountai n vill age, we have agreed to an economic development fee for $4,000 per permit which will be used for economic development in the city. For the first few years and on a sliding scale, a small portion of that fee will come back to Sonoma Mountain village to be used to incentivise new tenants and att-ract new businesses to the project. By 2017, the City receives 100 percent of this fee. All in all_ it translates to over $6.7 million of economic development funds to the City. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 63 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES., INL (415) 312-9040 page 62 Rp-somo-8-24-1O component. 10 11 12 13 The underlying goal here is to design a wide array of homes that are sustainable and beautiful and affordable to all. We will work with Sonoma State and local businesses to understand and address the needs of the community. We think this is a mo~el community that responsibly addresses business, climate change, traffic, health, energy and water. The water argument in Rohnert Park has been cascading for some years now, and Darrin gave us a comprehensive overview of how the project will not affect the water supply for Rohnert Park. This is a very efficient site and, due to a well thought-out water plan, we are estimated to use less water for the entire project than was allocated by the city to the Agilent campus. We already know we can achieve the efficiency goal set out in the plan because we've already done it. The recently comple'ted LEED platinum COnlcast operation center uses 50 percent less water th'an typical new office space. New residential construction in Rohnert Park is estimated to use 90 gallons per day per person, whereas wi'th Sonoma Mountain Village, we will only use 34 gallons per day per person. We have committed to using 100 percent renewable power and, to date, have o,!,er 1 megawatt of solar with an additional 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 65 '" LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC.

I would now like to 'turn you over to Richard to finish up. RICHARD POPE: Thank you. Kirstie. AS you can see. the economi cs are most beneficial and just the type of revenue the city needs as soon as possible. after sitting through this afternoon's budget report. A Development Agreement, amongst other things, is supposed to achieve two primary goals, and. simply put, this is what it should do. Give the Applicant the security to the development rights as approved through the life of the agreement in order for it to make with confi dence the fi nanci a 1 investment deci s ions to execute the plan. and to ensure that the developer pays its fair share of fees and exactions to the City and does not cause the city and. more importantly, t:he residents any financial harm. I would just like to spend a little time remi ndi ng you and the public about the benefits to t:he 66 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 Page 6S Rp-somo-8-24-10 We will be paying over $2 million for off-site road improvements. we will design and const:r:uct: and dedicat:e a new water storage facilit:y to the City. There are also numerous other fees contained in this Development Agreement that e~sures t:hat t:he Rohnert Park taxpayer does not pay for Sonoma Mountain vi llage. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 All these benefits in the Development Agreement will not exist if t:he zoning stays as it is. AS the cit:y council says so many times, it is important for the development -- for development and developers to pay their own way. This Development: Agreement was negotiated by t:he City Staff and the City Attorney vehemently, fairly, and always in the City's best' interest and absolutely ensures t:hat this developer will definitely pay its own way. It's no secret that the cit:y of Rohnert: Park along with many ot:her North American cities is in a state of financial hardship. If they cannot: dig t:hemselves out of this situation, things'will become critical and residents will undoubtedly suffer. And although the cit:y has made good progress, Rohnert Park needs 'some positive things to happen which will help stabilize the City's financial position and also enhance businesses and property values and generally raise the 68 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES. INC. (415) 312-9040 Page 67 Rp-somo-8-24-10 City that are contained wit:hin this Development Agreement. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 First:ly. the fire st:ation. Sonoma Mountain Village is dedicat:ing 1. 3 acres to the City to build the new fire stat:ion. We have agreed to contribute S200,000 towards a public safety primary response truck. We will construct and dedicate to the City an international all-weather soccer and sports facilit:y which has a value of well over S1 million. We believe that the success of t:he City will be, in turn, our success and vice versa. So for every resident:ial building permit, a fee of S4,OOO will .be extracted and used for economic development within the cit:y. AS Kirstie already mentioned, over the life of the project this contribution will be in excess of S6.7 million. The city has contributed to this successful job creating business incubator and, again, that Development Agreement ensures that, Codding is financially responsible to keep the incubator in bus i ness. We have also committed to provide a bike path throughout and around the community. And we will be working with SMART to build a new multi-use pathway from Rail road Avenue to, East: Cotati Avenue which will provide community access to the new cotati SMART Train station. 67 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 page 66 10 Rp-somo-8-24-10 1 eve 1 of competence. The City needs to move forward, not look back to the past. There is not much more left to. cut now, and it needs to put in place the missing piece to underpin its hard budgeting work. It needs revenue to fuel a financial recovery. I believe that: there is not one Council Member in front of us tonight that would deny that her or his number one job is \0 look after the residents of Rohner"! Park and put allot:her t:hings aside, especially in a time of crisis. So who bene~it:s if Sonoma Mountain village is approved and are there any negatives? During the initial stages of infrast:ructure construction, it will be ,disrupted and we will need to work hard with the City and the surrounding neighbors to ensure that. that disruption is kept to a minimum. We have already promi sed some nei ghbors in M secti on to buil d a sound wall before construct:ion commences, and we have worked with other neighbors by allowing t:hem t:o participate in the plan design at an early stage. We will carryon talking to neighbors and discussing their concerns and suggestions as the community develops. So who does benefit if you vote for this 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 approval? Codding benefits. Codding is a business and 69 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC.

If we are granted the entitlement we are seeking, we believe we can be part of Rohnert Park's recovery. Because of our One Planet status, we can access many grand opportunities which can kick start Sonoma Mountain village and other developments. One of these grants could potentially fund the east side sewer extension which unlocks us and other builders to produce activiTy and fees for the City of Rohnert Park. These grants are not available until we get our entitlements. Geof syphers has just met with the strategic Growth council who oversee state grants for infill and sustainable projects, and we are the first private developer to be invited to present our ne_eds to their board of directors in November. Just as a side note, the east side sewer will be mainly paid for by developers. Another example of developers paying their way. Sonoma Mountain Village is already a world 25 famous project and we have not even started yet. Along 72 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 with Rohnert park, it's been discussed in places like London, Duba;, Portugal. canada, Egypt.

So what we are asking is quite simple. please take this opportunity. grant us this approval, give us the chance to start work on making all of these benefits realities.

A lot of reasons why they did. go to the project was because of the vision. the 'future development plans there. I know there are a lot of unhappy land owners with vacant buildings that would love to have had these tenants, but because of the vision of Brad and the Sonoma Mountain village plan, they elected to move out there. And I think without a change in zoning to a mixed-use, it would be very difficult to continue to have that growth and attract the qual ity tenants and jobs that we'd like in Rohnert Park. So I'd just like to put in my vote in support of adopting a more flexible zoning, which would, you know, attract more people to town, and more people to my community, which I think would bp. great.

But there's 86 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 always these people who have to put this together, and so I'd just like to thank the preparer of this work and the people who put it together. This is a very thorough Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting program. So I just wanted to acknowledge that. Thank you. MAYOR STAFFORD: Thank you. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: I'll try to be reasonably succinct this evening, I promise.

That just seems like a lot to me. A normal residential construction has about five or six, so we're doubling that. If we took out t.he mixed-use area, I mean, it would even jump that up. So I have all along said that. I'm -- I like this project and I have, but. now my gut is just telling me it's too many houses out there. And I think you guys have worked hard; staff has worked hard; I know you got your support for your project; I can feel good that n I think it's going to go through for you, but my gut is just telling me I just can't go for that. So I just. wanted to say that. MAYOR STAFFORD: Council Member BreeZe. COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: Thank you, Your Honor. So this is one of the areas that, I guess, I 88 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 10 fundamentall,y disagree with this project, and I believe that the proponents of the project fully believe, in their minds~ that this is the shift that, you know, our economy is creating and so, therefore, you have a plan to go along with that shift. And I get that. I get that. I just fundamentally disagree with that. On that scale, your plan is a beautiful plan. when I look ,at this project and this comes up before me as a policy maker, as a person who was elected to make these sort of tough decisions about our land use, I have page 87 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-sorno-8-24-10 VICE MAYOR BElFORTE: No. MAYOR STAFFORD: okay.

VICE MAYOR BELFORTE: r'll make the motion, Madam Mayor. 87 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE; And I'll second it. MAYOR STAFFORD: okay. There's a motion and a second. Is there a discussion? COUNCIL MEMBER CALLINAN: Madam Mayor, I do have a couple comments. I just want to say, you know. I think Sonoma Mountain Vi11age has great potential to be a good project. My personal gut feeling tells me that we have just too many units out on that property. I look at the Page 86 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Rp-somo-8-24-1O to take many things into consideration. And one of them is, histori~ally, this land has been slated and zoned for light industrial, and I look at that for the future of Rohnert Park and what that does if we are to change that into mixed-use. First off, when I think about mixed-use, I actually took a drive this morning when I came home from work, and I looked at a lot of our mi>ted-use projects, and I looked at a lot of our projects that have come along, recently retail, and 1 saw vacancies, total empty stores. I think that mixed-use sounds like it's a good idea, but I don't see it working in Rohnert Park. I look at -- I look at our project over near Pacific Market. It'S escaping me, the name of it. It starts with a V. 24 25 89 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 10 COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: vineyard. COUNCIL MEMBER BREEZE: vi neyard. Thank you. I was goi ng to vi ntage, but it's not vi ntage. The vineyards project, our City Center plaza, our Padre Town Center. I went behi nd the Bi g Bear Diner. and all the retail that's. there, there's 20 -- I counl:ed 20 storefronts. and three of them actually have some business in it, and there's one more th~ looks like it's starting up a business. And I look at that and I look at what we have page 88 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 currently, and all of the vacancies that: we have currently in our convnunity, and I look at what" Sonoma Mountain village, the project objectives are, and when I see the addition of more retail services and I see the addition of more housing. I can't help but think about the law of supply and demand. And right now it seems like we have an awful lot of supply but not a lot of demand. And to add more supply, to mei doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. for the current businesses in Rohnert Park. So that's just one aspect: of when I look at changing over the land use. The other aspect. we touched upon thi 5 quite a bit earlier in our meeting; we've been here since 1:00 this afternoon. But we were looking at our Economic Development plan. We had a new one proposed by our 90 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 Assistant City Manager, John Dunn, and there was a lot of discussion about the Economic Development: plan that we had commissioned in 2007 to be created. And I want to cite some things that from Economic Development Plan because I think that: it is really important how as it speaks to policy makers and speaks to this - very issue. And it's on page 31 of our Economic Development plan of 2007, and it's, "Protect and Promote opportunities for Job-Generati ng Development." And it says: "The conversion of properties page 89 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 This speaks to exactly what we're talking about tonight. "This puts city decision makers increasingly in the position of reacting to real estate market forces compe 11 i og them to wei gh the short-term economic interests of individual organizations ,and property owners over the long-term economi c and fi sca 1 interests of the city." And I'll go on. And it says: "However, jab-generating uses, i ncl udi n9 manufacturi ng, 92 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 fabrication, warehousing, dist:ribution and research and development continue to require large footprints, utilize higher ratios of floor space per. employee and requi re lower 1 and pri ces and bui 1 di ng rents in order to remai n viable. " 10 11 12 And here's where it directly again speaks to us as policy makers. It says: "Land-use pollcy decisions today will dictate and potentially limit page 91 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Rp-somo-8-24-10 into residential and retail creates pressures on 1 and values maki n9 the development of new job-generating sites difficult and results in the erosion of the job-generating lands available regionally." And toen it talks about: "The collapse of the demand for industrial land and all categories throughout the Bay Area since 2001 1 ed to unprecedented hi gh vacancy rates for industrial land and built space of all categories. Rohnert Park is npt the only community with 24 25 91 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 an inventory of buildings and sites that have been unused since the collapse of the dot-com bubble. property owners becoming increasingly desperate to convert vacant real estate to 10 11 revenue-generating uses are open to a wide range of potential renters and buyers resulting in requests to approve uses not previously anticipated for industrial areas." Page 90 Rp-somo-8-24-1O 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 an area's future economic; development opportunities. pl anni ng for bus i ness development and the economi c growth of the ci ty means making land-use decisions that hold firm against short-term real estate pressures and individual interests today." And I believe that, although this project is a beautiful one, I believe that it is, in my opinion and from what I know from what is presented to me, to be a short-term. My concern is, residential never, ever pays 93 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 for i tse 1 f . And whi 1 e res; denti a 1 is necessary, ri ght now we have an extreme amount of homes in the city of Rohnen Park foreclosed, vacant, empty, apartments that are empty. And at this point in time, as a policy maker in this community, for me to change the land use of this industrial area, which will never, ever be that again once its changed, i can't consciously make that: decision at this time. And so I am against this. MAYOR STAFFORD: Council Member Mackenzie. COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: well, I';?have to disagree, respectfully, with my colleague to my left. This is absolutely the epitome of a project t.hat is not page 92 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 short-term. It is a project that is planned utilizing the very specific instructions in our General plan, and, as some of you know who have heard me recently, I believe, in fact, that our General Plan gives us very specific directions. We very consciously decided in the year 2000 that we were going to support a project such as Sonon:a Mountain village. We did not know, as I've said earlier, that it was going to be able to be accomplished on the Agilent site, and events have shown that that is going to be a distinct possibility. We have tried in this city, and we tried in this City before our zoning Code even had a proper definhiori of mixed-use, to create what was laughingly 94 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 called back in t.hat day mixed-use projects. And one of them is still uncompleted, and these are the storage units next to the vacant spot for apartments on Commerce Boulevard. That was brought in front of this Council in the year 2000 as a mixed-use project under those definitions. We delil?erately changed the definition of mi xed-use in our General pl an. And the project that has been brought in front us requesting that we amend our General plan is amending it in a way that is absolutely guaranteed to bring about a proper mixed-use project for there is an ability to synthesize the project, for there is a sufficient land mass and set of circumstances that can bring this about. page 93 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 you know, to actually amend the land use map of the General plan, which very much guides us where we are goi og to go and the t:ext for the General pl an, I bel i eve what is being described to us is exactly what we need in terms of stimulating economic development in the City. we've talked a lot about that this afternoon. we've heard some very specific examples that will be coming to you later on in these various resolutions that in front of us. But as someone who was one of the architects of our General plan ten years ago, I can tell you that, in my book, this is a project that is worthy of approval and "the amendment of the General Plan is one 96 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 14 for which, I will be voting. Thank you very much. MAYOR STAFFORD: Thank you. vice Mayor Bel forte. VICE MAYOR BELFORTE: Thank you. You know, I don't -- I'm not going to compare individual units t:hat have maybe 20 houses to a Planned Development with 1694 homes on 175 acres. Did I understand that right? 175 acres? Yeah. And so I think you're comparing apples -- your comparison is apples to oranges. what I do bel i eve and what I know for a fact is I have talked to a few commercial developers in the area and asked them how long it would be before another page 95 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 The vineyard Apartments' were set up mixed-use. The Mountain Shadows Shopping Plaza has, I don't know, seven or eight units with a possibility of operating an office down below. But that was just one unit, one set. of units, superimposed on a neighborhood shopping center. And there was another project. with offices and shops down below next to the Shell Gas station in M section. That has been described as a failed mixed-use project. That is because it. wasn't a project that was t.ruly mixed-use; it was something that was jammed in where it didn't belong. 95 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 Thi s, on the other hand, is a pl anned Development. on 175 acres. I believe that the approach that has being taken by requesting the use of form-based codes, does, in fact, give the Applicant the ability to be flexible, and they have been very specific in talking about flexibility. They are already operating a light-industrial project on their site, and I believe that this combination of retail and commercial and t.he business plus there along with the proposed residential development, and it's being laid out as a phase project and, again, with the ability for changes to be made as time proceeds. But in terms of what we're being asked to do. page 94 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-10 business such as Agilent. could possibly plunk themselves down in Rohnert Park and fill that: area, and I was told it would be very few and far bet:ween that that would happen. Businesses are not that big anymore and they're' not runni ng themselves that way anymore. So the potential for that land to sit vacant for a number of years, . maybe 20 to 30 years, is a real i ty. And so, therefore, I think that when we have something that is already being developed, you've already made changes, you already have quite a few businesses that have come out there, you're getting 97 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INL (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 14 press not only in Sonoma county and the State of california, but you are getting worldwide. I have been in other areas and had people ask me n I had. one person approach me with a newspaper from the Chronicle and said, "Did you see this?" So it's a very different compari son. I think the thing that probably strikes me most curiously is that t:his was, as people have said before in terms of the forefathers, previously zoned resident.ial. So we're going back to our roots and we're coming up with a planned community. I don't see anything wrong with it. And I do believe thl? four Planning commissioners that voted this project through got it right, and I will be in support of this project. page 96 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-B-24-10 MAYOR STAFFORD: Thank you. I lived in Rohnert Park in the early '80s when there was an .extensive campaign to rezone that property to allow Agilent to come here. It was months and months of campaigning. people saw a use for that property at: the time. They changed the zoning. They brought that facility in because it was what. worked at the time. AS has been stated already, it was residential. It was changed to industrial to accommodate Agilent, and now, 30 years later, residential, and what they are proposing is what needs 98 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 to be there. We aren't going to get another Agil~nt; we aren't going to get something like that. This is a wonderful project. It's not a short-term project. So what's going on in our City at the moment isn't what we should ~e looking at; we should be looking to the future because thi s is somethi ng that wi 11 be goi ng on for 20 years. 10 11 12 13 14 15 So looking to the future and looking to see what is being proposed here is exactly what our city needs, and I think it's, as I quoted in the paper today, that Jeremy got. me saying, tIn's one of the most responsible projects that has ever come in from of the city counei 1 . " So there's a motion on the floor; there's a second. All those in favor? page 97 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 _ Rp-somo-8-24-10 thlnk the name is right there, Sonoma Mountain village -- that t.hiswill be a community that you can, in fact, by using this transect app.roach, layout a community that is pleasi~g to the eye, that is responsible environmentally, and that also enables an Applicant to have some flexibility.

(415) 312-9040 And I, again, would just like to thank you for the efforts that all parties have brought to the table in this.

I have spent a lot of time listening to people talk abou't transects; I've spent a lot. time listening to people talk about form-based code. I think that Sonoma Mountain village is going to be the premier example in Sonoma County, if not in a large area of this st.at.e, of a form-based code that is converting what was a former industrial use into a scheme 'that creates -- I page 98 17 18 19 20 21 Rp-somo-8-24-10 mentioned that I do want to thank, . and tha't is the Parks and Rec Commission for the work that they did in approving the project and the time they took into looking at. it. and, also, the four Planning Commissioners that took time and really put a lot. of work into it.

COUNCIL MEMBER MACKENZIE: Yes. I was involved earlier on in the history of Development: Agreements in this City with the university District when these matters were in front of our city Council, 105 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 10 11 12 13 and tha"t was toughly negotiated, and I said at the time that I believed. that it sat a high bar to guide people who followed on with their Specific Plan requests in front of this Council. And I understand that what we're doing at the moment is unique in terms of the Planned Development Zoning District which we just haVE: started to establish; it's not in place yet because we just read it for the first time, but we will have it in place, I believe. And I believe that this Development Agreement -- and I know, again, that it was.negotiated long and hard. I believe it covers the waterfront. It lays out very clearly what the Applicant is and what the developer is willing to fund, which I believe in the context of the very serious discussions, and not particularly happy discussions we had this '" afternoon ~bout the state of this City's budget in the years to come. I believe tha"t this is a an agreement page 104 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp"-somo-8-24-10 that will serve the city well. I believe it emphasizes the sustainable aspects of our General plan and the sustainable aspects that we expect for the future of this city. And I just want to dwell on this just for a moment. We are entering" a time just now where it's very fashionable to say that, well, we can't afford to do 106 LEONARD REPORTING SERVICES, INC. (415) 312-9040 thi 5 and we can' t afford t.o do that and we have to make sure that we give every possible fiscal advantage to people who are willing t:o develop. We have, I believe, to consider the future of the people who are going to be living in this City. And we very deliberately on this Council and in the middle of past decade made commitments that we as a City through our climate Action Plan, which I have a copy of, the 2007 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Action plan that this Council 10 adopted in 2007 which is going to be supported by this 11 Development Agreement. 12 But we also said that we expected that the 13 buildings that would be constructed in the future in 14 this cfry would be energy efficient; they would be water 15 efficient; they would reduce the costs'of living in 16 buildings. we would reduce the loss of energy that is 17 wasted. There are some very real fiscal benefits to 18 individuals who are going to be living in the houses 19 that are going to be constructed under this Development page 105 20 21 22 23 24 25 Rp-somo-8-24-1O CITY CLERK HAUFF: Council Member callinan?

'.. (Revised 031309) JH:TG-S:05-b FOR RELEASE ON: October 3, 2010 707-584-2640 dadam@rpcity.org For more information, contact: Daniel Adam, Fire Marshal Smoke Alarms: Up, Down and All Around Rohnert Park Public Safety Reinforces Newer Smoke Alarm Recommendations during Fire Prevention Week, October 3-9, 2010 (October 3, 2010) - In an effort to better educate communities throughout the U.S. about smoke alarm recommendations, the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA ) is promoting "Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With!" as the theme for this year's Fire Prevention Week campaign, October 3-9, which the City of Rohnert Park is supporting locally. "Many homes in Rohnert Park may not have any smoke alarms, not enough smoke alarms, alarms that are too old, or alarms that are not working," says Daniel Adam, Fire Marshal of Rohnert Park Public Safety. "We want residents to understand that working smoke alarms are needed in every home, on every level, outside each sleeping area and inside each bedroom. And, if a smoke alarm is 10 years old or older, it needs to be replaced." According to Daniel Adam, smoke alarms can mean the difference between life and death in a fire. NFPA statistics show that working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire nearly in half. But they must be working properly to do so. The association's data shows that many homes have smoke alarms that aren't working or maintained properly, usually because of missing, disconnected or dead batteries. Roughly two-thirds of all home fire deaths result from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Rohnert Park Public Safety Department and NFPA agree that interconnected smoke alarms offer the best protection; when one sounds, they all do. ThiS is particularly important in larger or multi-story homes, where the sound from distant smoke alarms may be reduced to the point that it may not be loud enough to provide proper warning, especially for sleeping individuals. Most people have a sense of complacency about smoke alarms because they already have one in their homes. Fire Prevention Week provides an excellent opportunity to re-educate people about smoke alarms, new technologies and expanded options for installation and maintenance. '" , , Rohnert Park Public Safety offers the following tips for making sure smoke alarms are maintained and working properly: · Test smoke alarms at least once a month using the test button, and make sure everyone in your home knows their sound. . If an alarm "chirps," warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away. · Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use 10-year batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they're 10 years old (or sooner) if they do not respond properly when tested. . Never remove or disable a smoke alarm.

Rohnert Park is a bedroom community and the third largest city in the county. The city is the home of the Sonoma State University, a member of the California CSU System. ECONOMIC SITUATION City revenue is derived primarily through sales taxes, followed by tax revenue from new development fees and real property sales. Facing an economic situation that is not unlike the rest of the country, Rohnert Park is better than some but worse than many others. In late February of 2009, the City Financial Director made the dire prediction that should the economic slump continue and if new development, once expected to generate $5.8 million in revenue over the next two years, does not occur; the city will run out of cash by the end of 2010. There has been no new residential development for over twenty-two months and building permits are expiring without ever starting. Our residents have watched helplessly as home equities vanished. As of February 2009, home sales in Sonoma County are down 44% and prices down 28% from a year ago. This decline case continued for 22 consecutive months with no end of the tumble in sight. The average resale price of homes has fallen by $150,000, making this the biggest drop in the nine-county Bay Area. The city had an unanticipated loss of $600,000 in revenue this year, primarily because of declining sales and property taxes. With just three months remaining in the Fiscal Year, the city faces a seven million dollar deficit and must cut at least $1.5 million out of this fiscal year's budget to survive. "There's going to be a lot of cuts in a lot of departments" and, "The economy is bad and it doesn't look like it will get better for a long time," said a City Council Member. The single largest budget expenditure is employee salaries and benefits, totaling over 74% of all city spending. Desperate to avoid even one employee layoff, a spirit of compromise and concession is shared by the bargaining units representing 191 workers, from Public Safety Officers to clerks and maintenance workers. A "golden handshake" retirement offer made on April 3, 2.009 resulted in the retirement of over'two dozen senior City Employees. Four Police Officers were laid off. Regardless of the retirements, terminations and frozen positions, six more sworn positions will be lost. The city passed a % cent sales tax increase in June of 2010, however even with that revenue the layoffs are proceeding as scheduled. THE DEPARTMENT The City of Rohnert Park is one of only two municipalities in California with a truly combined Police and Fire Service. Officers in Rohnert Park perform law enforcement, fire suppression, and emergency medical activities in the protection of life and property by patrolling assigned areas and responding to calls for service. Disparate Certification - This list of duties should be seen as a synopsis and is by no means an all-inclusive list, it is included to show why both the POLICE and FIRE concerns are represented in one application. ' The Public Safety Officers, when assigned to POLICE SERVICES focus upon the Reduction of Crime and Prevention of Violence. Officers perform general patrol on an assigned shift and beat; responding to citizen requests for assistance, monitoring for any violations that might contribute to an , . 2010-H6878-CA-DJ - CITY OF ROHNERT PARK NARRATIVE . unsafe environment for the public. Officers prepare reports on crimes and investigations; contact and interviews victims, witnesses, and suspects; issue citations and makes arrests for violations of laws and ordinances. In addition to the ongoing Public Education and Fire Prevention performed by Officers assigned to FIRE SERVICES, officers respond to fire calls and participate in fire suppression activities; drive and operate all fire apparatus and equipment; operate a variety of tools and equipment related to fire suppression, rescue, and hazardous materials emergency activities. Officers in both areas of assignment provide lifesaving Emergency Medical responses. During 2008 there were 42,452 events recorded by the Communications Center, a 17.8% call increase from 2007 that was attributed to a corresponding 42.7% increase in Officer initiated activity. Comparing yearly data since 1980, the total Property Crimes, and total Part-1 Crimes in 2008 established new record lows. Having the approved staffing levels consistently filled for the first time in a decade and, the diligence demonstrated by Officers resulted in the 2008 Part-1 Crime Rate falling to new record lows. HOW WILL THIS FUNDING BE USED? The portable radio equipment now carried by Uniformed Police Officers and Detectives is in dire need of replacement. The department budget has been slashed to the point that only salaries and essential purchases are allowed. While we need to replace twenty radios, the $24,000 cost would require the elimination of another position. A dependable communications systems is an essential part of the Public Safety Department's Mission Statement to make Rohnert Park "The Safest Community Along the U.S. 101 Corridor." For the year 2008, we had the privilege of reaching our objective. With all the cuts experienced, we are trying to do the best with what we have. This radio equipment will help us'to keep the community safe. HOW WILL SUCCESS BE MEASURED? Like all other Police Agencies who use the standardized reporting criterion, the Department of Public Safety reports Part-1 crime activity to the California DOJ every month. The crime types tracked are Homicide, Rape, Robbery, Assault, Burglary, Larceny, and Motor Vehicle Theft. The Comparing yearly data since 1980, the Total Property Crimes and Total Part-1Crimes in 2008 have established new record lows. The Part-1 Crime Rate is lower and, the City of RohnertPark is a safer place today than any time in nearly 30-years. Success and the reporting of grant-funded activities will be measured by the decrease or increase of Part-1 crimes in our community. We have set clear statistically validated goals for the reduction of violence and crime. PROJECT TIMELlNE: The goals and objectives of this plan are: 1. Purchasing 100% of the radio equipment immediately upon receipt of the award.

'? Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Office for Civil Rights Washingtan. D,C. 2053/ August 27,2010 Chief Brian Masterson City of Rohnert Park 130 A vram A venue Rohnert Park, CA 94928-1489 Dear Chief Masterson: Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs, Congress linked the receipt of Federal funding to compliance with Federal civil rights laws, The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial aid from OJP, its component offices and bureaus, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) comply with applicable Federal civil rights statutes and regulations. We at OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with Justice Department funding. Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs As you know, Federal laws prohibit recipients of financial assistance from discriminating on the basis ofrace, color, national origin, religion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in respect to employment practices but also in the delivery of services or benefits. Federal law also prohibits funded programs or activities from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits. Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals In accordance with Department of Justice Guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.c. g2000d, recipients of Federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). For more information on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals, please see the website at http://www.lep.gov. Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations The Department of Justice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to the funding of faith-based organizations. In general, the regulation, Participation in Justice Department Programs by Religious Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment of all Justice Department Program Participants, and known as the Equal Treatment Regulation 28 C.F.R. part 38, requires State Administering Agencies to treat these organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits State Administering Agencies from making award or grant administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the religious composition of its board of directors. The regulation also prohibits faith-based organizations from using financial assistance from the Department of Justice to fund inherently religious activities. While faith-based organizations can engage in non-funded inherently religious activities, they must be held separately from the Department of Justice funded program, and customers or beneficiaries cannot be compelled to participate in them. The Equal Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the Department of Justice are not permitted to discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the regulation, please see OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/etfbo.htm. State Administering Agencies and faith-based organizations should also note that the Safe Streets Act, as amended; the Victims of Crime Act, as amended; and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, as amended, contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these nondiscrimination provisions, the Justice Department has concluded that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is reasonably construed, on a case-by-case basis, to require that its funding agencies permit faith-based organizations applying for funding under the applicable program statutes both to receive DOJ funds and to continue considering religion when hiring staff, even if the statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids considering of religion in employment decisions by grantees. Questions about the regulation or the application ofRFRA to the statutes that prohibit discrimination in employment may be directed to this Office. '? Enforcing Civil Rights Laws All recipients of Federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of the grant award, or the number of employees in the workforce, are subject to the prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly, OCR investigates recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, OCR selects a number of recipients each year for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal employment opportunity standards. Complying With the Safe Streets Act or Program Requirements In addition to these general prohibitions, an organization which is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968, 42 U.S.c. 9 3789d(c), or other Federal grant program requirements, must meet two additional requirements:(I) complying with Federal regulations pertaining to the development of an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP), 28 C.F.R. 942.301-.308, and (2) submitting to OCR Findings of Discrimination (see 28 C.F.R. 9942.205(5) or 31.202(5)). I) Meeting the EEOP Requirement In accordance with Federal regulations, Assurance No.6 in the Standard Assurances, COPS Assurance No. 8.8, or certain Federal grant program requirements, your organization must comply with the following EEOP reporting requirements: If your organization has received an award for $500,000 or more and has, 50 or more employees (counting both full- and part-time employees but excluding political appointees), the,n it has to prepare an EEOP and submit it to OCR for review Within 60 days from the date of this letter, For assistance in developing an EEOP, please consult OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm. You may also request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at OCR by dialing (202) 616-3208. If your organization received an award between $25,000 and $500,000 and has 50 or more employees; your organization still has io prepare an EEOP, but it does not have to submit the EEOP to OCR for review. Instead, your organization has to maintain the EEOP on file and make it available for review on request. In addition, your organization has to complete Section 8 of the Certification Form and return it to OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm. If your organization received an award for less than $25,000; or if your organization has less than 50 employees, regardless of the amount of the award; or if your organization is a medical institution, educational institution, nonprofit organization or Indian tribe, then your organization is exempt from the EEOP requirement. However, your organization must complete Section A of the Certification Form and retum it to OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm. 2) Submitting Findings of Discrimination In the event a Federal or State court or Federal or State administrative agency makes an adverse finding of discrimination against your organization after a due process hearing, on the ground ofrace, color, religion, national origin, or sex, your organization must submit a copy of the finding to OCR for review. Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients If your organization makes subawards to other agencies, you are responsible for assuring that subrecipients also comply with all of the applicable Federal civil rights laws, including the requirements pertaining to developing and submitting an EEOP, reporting Findings of Discrimination, and providing language services to LEP persons. State agencies that make subawards must have in place standard grant assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients. Ifwe can assist you in any way in fulfilling your civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of Federal funding, please call OCR at (202) 307- 0690 or visit our website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/.

RECEIVED SEP 0 7 2010 Lidster, Beth CITY OF ROHNERT PARK Hello. I don't know when the decision was made to add no parking signs along Golf Course after all these years but they really mar the streetscape, especially in this location where it results in endless stream of signs creatign visual clutter from Fairway to Country Club. I don't imagine the person executing this plan feels proud about it. - If there must be signs installed, why not start with only 2, a No Parking Begin and No Parking End sign from Fairway to Country Club, and revisit this if cars parking here truly becomes a problem, which I don't think will happen. It seems that 2 signs should be sufficient since there are no driveway breaks along the curb, and visually it is not inviting to park. Thanks. PS. I really look forward to these signs going away. If we are duty bound to have them, how about painting No Parking, Bike Lane on the bike lane pavement itself instead. Again, I am not sure what the problem ahs been but I expect almost if will respect tI1is. 0- ...

Dear Mr. Tambo This e-mail is in response to your e-mail of Tuesday, September 7, 2010, requesting information regarding the no parking signs along Golf Course. These signs were placed in 2007 as part of a roadways project that added a bike lane to Golf Course - Drive. The placement of the signs is in accordance with State Standards governing signs. These signs are important to keep the bike lane clear and bicyclists safe. Your e-mail suggests that only two signs be installed along this 2,500 foot stretch of roadway, beginning at Fairway and ending at Country Club. You further suggest that we could revisit thisproposecl change if cars parking there truly becomes a problem. You believed that this would make the stretch of roadway less visually cluttered and more pleasing to the eye. We appreciate your concern. Over the last year, the City has gone through a series of reorganizations, staff cuts and furloughs to help close a budget deficit. As part of these staffing cuts, the City Council made the decision to not have staff work on certain non-essential items. For the engineering staff, this includes working on traffic sign changes unless these changes will alleViate-a-safety problem. While I appreciate your desire to ensure that all parts or Rohnert Park are aesthetically pleasing, we are not currently staffed to work on your request. We will keep your request on file and, should staffing be increased, consider your request at that time. - Patrick Barnes, PE Deputy-City Engineer City of Robnert Park 707-588-2234 '? 1 q)onald (j). - mcl91anahan - 4855, Snyder Lane flpt. 4.8/ ' Telephone (707) '586- / 969 donald. mcclanahan@mgmail.oTg RECEIVED SIP 1 4 2010 . CIJY OF ROHNER! PARK August 7, 2010 To whoever it concerns: Our community relations person Sandi lluesdell and General Manager Michael Koliber are so frighterted they deliberately and repeatedly lied to my daughter Sharon Wright about me. Sandi called Sharon on Saturday to tell her why she called police to handle me. Sandi did not tell Sharon that her calling police grew out of her and two other employees' refusal to give me sufficient sugar for a cup ()f tea -- or anything! ~~~ 1:" ~\_ ~\- ;. ~. ':rhus worried, Sha(9"Jo!<l:~~Jldi::~4e-~qui~':J~~me to Merrill Gardens to find oufwhy'police had tobe called. Sharon came to Merrill Gardens and met with General Manager Koliber and Sandi. Michael quietly informed Sharon that I was posting "risque" posters in his facility. Sharon asked Michael if he had talked to me about this He said that I refused to talk to him. Sharon thought there must have been a misunderstanding __ why would police be called over trivial "risque" posters when Michael could have handled this with a phone call? She left without mentioning this to me. Posting of the kitty and bunny poster occurred weeks before my refusal to talk further with Michael. '" He had ordered me out of a residents' "town hall" meeting because for fear I would tell residents what Merrill Gardens regional directors had told me about their plan for adding assisted living to our facility. Afterward, Michael repeatedly called asking, "Do you want to talk with me'in my office?" He even took my arm saying, "We have to talk!" Then he brought Sasha Freeno, the regional director of operations, out of his office. She asked, "Don, why won't you talk to me?" I stopped talking to her months before when she refused to communicate with me. I told them both, "If you want to communicate with me, put it in writing and I will respond in writing within 24 hours." Both shook their heads saying, "We can't do that." Sharon casually mentioned this "risque" poster incident to her mother, my wife Evie. Evie was shocked and immediately called to ask if this were true. She agrilly asked, "Why did they call Sharon and not me the wife?" I believed that Receptionist Jeannette Lacote created these color kitty and bunny posters and that our night utility workers had posted them in our four elevators. When I saw this poster I was shocked. I took a copy of this obscene poster to Utility Worker Debbie Ford the day they were posted. I asked why they had been posted throughout our facility on a day when many curious and impressionable young children were present. She grabbed this copy and destroyed it saying, "The kitty is not humping the bunny." I asked, "What is he doing?" She said, '? "He has both arms around her and is holding her tightly and lovingly. He is pressing his front against her back side -- but he is not humping her." This poster was titled "a kitty's best friend." After Evie's call, 1 asked Jeanette if she had created this kitty and bunny poster. She said she had. 1 asked why did Michael tell my daughter that 1 created and posted these posters?" She answered, "I don't know why. She then-defensively said, "Don't ask me anymore questions! 1 won't say another word about this!" and, "Don't ever mention this to me again!" Outraged and abused, ~~fl~~ Donald D. McClanahan Merrill Gardens resident '? RECEIVED WARNING - MERRIU GARDEN~sEP 1 4 2010 MAY NOT B~FOR YOU I CITY OF _ ROHNERT PARf( FOR~D MOV(g:Residentsin apartments 157-275 will be forced-move out of these apartments to make room fQr"~,,~n;porate'assisted living care as rapidly as possible! ....... ~ .'" .: '. . , ' HEALTH'.' MLLN~. AND ~FITY: Our food is supplied by the lowest bidder. Ham for a recent Sunday c~a~p~gnebrunch was so_covered,with mold it had to be thrownoIit. The initial food served in' apa.rtments -during our last outbreak of norovirus infection was so poor that corporate approved cost of meal refunds to residents. Our dining room is so crowed that residents can't move between tables without fear of tripping over the back wheels of wheelchairs and misplaced walkers. What will it be like with a flood of wheelchair users coming in as part of a 600 percent increase in incapable residents? Residents must park their walkers away from tables in the dining room and walk to and from these tables without the safety of their walkers. Wait persons are not directed to tal{e and return walkers. FOOD ~~RVIC.~: Wait persons have refused to honor paid reservations for a table, refused to set up a table for reserved a party, and their dining room service is a '? disaster! They are deliberately sabotaging food service in a desperate attempt to force residents to get rid of their boss who rules by fear -- our executive chef. We are served Sunday brunch "left over's" at the next meal or next day because our monthly food budgets are used up catering to these parties which are good for marketing purposes. These fabulous parties make our meals and dining room service appear fabulous to invited prospective residents! TOO LITTL~ FOOD: The only hot dish we are given for continental breakfasts is !!ill: pot of oatmeal for all of our residents. This single pot quickly runs out and few of us get a hot dish for breakfast. The salad bar has many foods and utensils: butter, milk, yogurt, vegetables, dressings, breads, muffins, cereals, soups, soup spoons, and condiments. Necessarily the amounts are tiny to fit into this small bar. These items are quickly depleted. No effort is made by wait persons or kitchen staff to see that these items are replenished in a timely manner. During Sunday champagne brunches and special meals, residents must line up and serve themselves. This means standing in long lines for extended periods which some of us are unable to do -- so we must wait until the waiting line shortens. ? But the line continues as diners eager for second helpings go through time and again before staff arbitrarily stops replenishing depleted foods -- which are in abundant supply in the kitchen and kept there for left over's at subsequent meals. So those residents and guests who must wait until the line shortens get few or none of the food items they like best. If often takes two hours to be served meals in the dining room. A friend and I waited for dinner until 7:00 P.M. to be served. We left because not one waitperson would take our order. Some waitpersons have insufficient English and/or cognitiv:e capabilities to take orders. A diner can order desert three times and not get it. FIR~ ~FrrY: This facility is 20 plus years old and does not conform with current fire safety codes. It has many unprotected'copenings and stairways between its three floors which will allow fire and smoke to spread unimpeded between floors! Its fire drills have included forced evacuation of all floors and apartments which are impossible for those in wheelchairs and who can't navigate stairways, dangerous, contrary to national fire protection standards, and unnecessary! '? Signs at the elevators read DON'T USE ELEVATORS IN CASE OF FIRE USE STAIRWAYS. This is because elevators are unprotected shafts up which fire and smoke will rise and may cook or choke any persons who may be in these elevators! Fire protection laws, standards and best fire safety practices say, "STAY SAFELY SHELTERED INSIDE IN CARE FACILITIES WHERE FIRE SPRINKLERS ARE PROVIDED!" The fire sprinkler system in our buildings is a disaster waiting to happen. Only one fire sprinkler head per room -- and that a totally ineffective sidewall sprinkler head at the far end of the room! Only one smoke detector per an an entire apartment? Totally ineffective! There must be a smoke detector in each room! Smoke can travel thru closed doors! Why does the City of Rohnert Park allow this? eORPORAT~ ~I~T~D LIVING: Will force us to obtain medicines from a single provider! We will either loose the large discount our healthcare insurance pays for, move to another facility, or change our healthcare insurance policies and providers! The California Department of Health has apparently already issued a license for corporate assisted living '? here, but the City of Rohnert Park is holding up its implementation. How and why? By law, the city fire marshal must approval our facility for fire safety before this license can be implemented. Our buildings meets all requirements for assisted living! It has been long approved for fIre safety with assisted living by the fire marshal for assisted living provided by Helping Hands and others. The City of Rohnert Park is nervous about their ability to adequately handle a fire here because of their very limited fIrefighting capabilities. They may be using the fire marshal's delay in approving this licensing change to exact as many building fire safety improvements from Merrill Gardens Corporation as possible -- and wisely so! Unless the City of Rohnert Park forces Merrill Gardens to provide adequate fire safety for our facility -- !!!!! some 200 elderlv.. often frail and/or incompetent residents., are in mortal dan~! And Merrill Gardens wants to add nearly 100 residents who are mentally and physically incapable of caring for themselves to this firetrap! Rohnert Park will not receive any more tax monies from Merrill Gardens for this "paper" change in occupancy, so they may be coercing Merrill Gardens for all of the fire safety improvements they can get -- '? which Merrill Gardens must be coerced to provide! The city can stonewall forever -- but Merrill Gardens is up to its eyeballs in assisted living construction and resident complaints here. They will have to cave in to this coercion -- if the City of Rohnert Park holds fast! COMMUNICATION: It is impossible for residents to phone staff for assistance for up to hours during daytime because our facility has only one telephone line and number. Staff turns their phones off all night and when they don't want to respond! No adequate emergency staff response here is possible without a multi-line telephone system! Why doesn't the City of Rohnert Park insist on this? MAINTJ;NANCJ;: The Merrill Gardens policy announced to our residents by the corporate regional director of maintenance is: "We will not replace an air conditioner which fails to operate. We will try to {"IX it. Ifwe can't {"IX it, we wQ.I attempt to buy a used one for your apartment." The old plastic sprinkler pipes in the third floor attic broke and poured water down through three floors to the carpeting on the first floor. This has happened before. The deluge ruined three apartments, one below the other. These apartments had to be vacated. A female evacuee was apparently asked to share an apartment with a male resident. '? When no effort was made to clean up this woman's damaged apartment and clothing, her son, a lawyer, met with the current general manager to point out his mother's critical problems and needs. This resident states that the general manager did nothing to help her, that her son had to call Merrill Gardens' corporate office in Seattle Washington to get this mess cleaned up and her clothing cleaned. The recyclable cart in our residents' laundry is taken away for a day or more and we have no place to dump our recyclable wastes. OUR TRAN~PORTATION: Forces residents to transfer ftom their wheelchairs to seats in the bus which is dangerous and contrary to national standards. Our drivers do not use "hands free" cell phones while driving. This is dangerous and violates California law! Merrill Gardens Rohnert Park has not responded to my request to provide drivers with hands-free cell phones to assure passenger safety! It has been necessary to write the California Highway Patrol bus safety officer to attempt to get hands-free cell phones for our drivers -- when will he get around to enforcing this law with Merrill Gardens? I was left stranded when attempting to get a ride to church Sunday. The driver left at least seven minutes '? before the scheduled run, refused to answer his cell phone call from the receptionist for 14 minutes, did not return to pick me up. I was forced to walk three quarters of a mile to church! AC.TI\'{ LIVING: It is said that our new director of active living has had no experience or training for her job. She has failed so far to eliminate unnecessary conflicts between activities which spoil them for participating residents, and blindsided an on-going activity with a last minute move to another location. She admits to keeping this known necessary move to herself until the last minute. This ineffective woman was additionally assigned to supervise our maintenance services which is the most technical department in our community. Why has the general manager foisted this off on her? Is it because he doesn't want to be responsible for our maintenance with the maintenance supervisor he hired? The earlier maintenance supervisor who was considered to be outstanding by many resident, was fired and his temporary assistant was let go and replaced by a permanent employee who was an inadequate kid. Now, this mentally challenged temporary worker who was let go because he cannot be trained, has been rehired as supervisor of maintenance by our current general manager who knew all about him. '? Our general manager took weeks to sort through too many to count applications for this position to choose this turke,y! Now she has disappear and we are again without a director of active living -- Merrill Gardens' prime bragging point! Where has she gone and why? BOOK K~~PING: Residents received a warning notice from the PG&E regional accounting director informing them that the electricity and gas throughout our facility may be turned offl Our book keeper has no accounting experience, she was previously only a care giver here. I was informed by staff we have two PG&E accounts. One which is active and one which is inactive. This new book keeper apparently failed to pay the bill to the correct PG&E account. Why? PG&E received our check on an inactive account which they had not billed us on and could not cash this check. Certainly PG&E brought this mistake to management's attention. Why then wasn't PG&E paid on the correct account? PG&E was not paid, and had to spend some $135.00 to send warning notices to every resident in order to force our management to pay this long overdue bill. TH~ G~NfRAL MANAG~R: Our new general manager placed a three-ring binder on the front desk and invited residents to list any questions they wanted answered at the next residents' "Townhall" meeting. '? I asked a simple question which could have been answered yes or no. He refused to answer yes or no and ordered me out of the meeting! The general manager lectured residents in Townhall that we shouldn't ask tough questions -- and that we should pose our questions in nice terms. The purposes of periodic resident meetings according to California Code of Regulations Section 87221 for: .. ..improving the quality of life for all residents by enriching the activity program and to discuss the services offered by the facility and make recommendations regarding identified problems. I attempted to do this with a planned and written presentation lasting some 45 seconds, and was ordered out of the Townhall meeting by the general manager. Our current general manager is incompetent. Things at Merrill Gardens Rohnert Park have gone from bad to disastrous under his administration. I AM DON McClANAHAN. a resident here. Call me at 707-586-1969 and I will meet with you and provide you proof of the above circumstances. MY BACKGROUND INCLUDm: 24 years as a firefighter and fire chief officer. 11 years as fire marshal and fire code enforcement oMcer for care facilities in the city of Pasadena California, and eight years as county safety officer for San Mateo County. '? I have resided in multiple residential care facilities for more than eight years. The general manager and residents of the last care facility in which I resided asked me to serve as chairman of their safety committee for six years. During this period I wrote an Emergency Guidelines manual which has been called "the best in California," and a physicians orders for life-sustaining treatment for Sonoma County. Ig IT p~ONLY DANG~OUg H~~ NOW? Things have gotten so threatening here that I have requested tlie:Director of Public Safety to run a background check on an employee I believe has been sabotaging physical enhancements I have purchased and added to our facility. This sabotage began long before the recent nastiness. Merrill Gardens employee screening process may be seriously inadequate. ~tUe 7Ite(3~ Donald D.

I thought this would be a surprise unfolding of peace plans for the Middle East. But you and I are now faced with a devastating September surprise -- right where we live -- not half way around the world. MERRILL GARDENS CORPORATION HAS COLLAPSED! Merrill Gardens corporation is broke! Merrill Gardens is trying to sell 80 percent of its self to Health Care REIT. Merrill Gardens' home page on the internet touts, "The vision of Merrill Gardens is to provide an alternative to traditional retirement. It manages 56 communities in ten states." Merrill-Gardens is, above aU, a company dedicated to quality and built on a strong foulldation offa~ily, community, long- term commitment, and entreprenellrlal spirit." MerriUGardens is one big "Ponzi" pyramid scheme. It-has survived by scam and sham. Merrill Gardens did this in two ways. They mortgaged their properties,. including:wherewe live, to the tune of a quarter billion dollars. This is an aver~ge Qf two million dollars per community facility. They kept their corporate stock high by keeping their occupancy rate high -- at a deceptive 92 percent fill. They keep their occupancy li-at~ high.~y deliberately understaffing vital services. This understaffing seriously compromises the safety of their residents. '? Merrill Gardens' real estate outsourcing firm, CD Richard Ellis, sells their corporate stock by deceptive, misleading, and wrong information to investors. Merrill Gardens' pyramid scheme has collapsed as all pyramid schemes must. They are now trying to sell out to a much larger corporation named Health Care REIT. This is not a healthcare business. It is a stock trading company in medical real estate -- not in medical care as its name suggests. Merrill Gardens has to sell at least 80 percent of its ownership, and wants to retain 20 percent to share in the plunder of ill gotten gains from this immoral deal. REIT is an acronym standing for real estate investment trust. Your rent is now owned by a trust and treated as trading stock. REIT's are a arising volatile trend which embraces third party ownership and management. They sell their corporate stock by kiting its value through huge discounts to actual asset values. Their stocks are intended to go bankrupt. Merrill Gardens is seeking to become a bankrupt trust. The investors in this trust, of which Merrill Gardens wants to be one, will sell their properties at a huge discount on its true value. They"plan to sell Merrill Gardens Rohnert Park at a huge profit to another company which must raise our rent to survive. Discounts to net asset values are based on fraud, over concentration, unsuitable investment, and misrepresentation. Merrill Gardens is secretly trying to sell itself. The corporate explasnation is not to "sell" for a huge immoral profit -- but '? ( u" f!"t. i~ ,I <fj/Y~~It/'ll<iIJfJ" ."",-P- ff!J.j if>' .t.)'"
