Tourism Outlook - The mood in the hospitality sector in Sonoma County is generally optimistic. One of the key metrics of tourism,
. lodging occupancy, has been on an upswing in the past year. For the trailing 12 months, occupancy in Sonoma County has been up
. 9% over last year, and revenue per available room (the measure of money generated per room to be sold) has increased more than
8%.
These numbers do not capture vacation rentals, campgrounds and B&Bs, but anecdotal reports show thattheymirror. the trend, with
campgrounds and vacation rentals tending to perform much better than other lodging types. .
Sonoma County's occupancy growth year over year outperformed other destinations in our competitive set in February, as we out-
paced Palm Springs, Monterey, Napa and lake Tahoe.
Also positive is that more travelers are reporting that they plan to travel more this year than last. A recent report from Travelocity
shows that of potential travelers "a vast majority (89 percent) will spend as much or more on travel in 2011 as they did in 2010;" This
sentiment is echoed in other similar "intent to travel" studies released in Q1 2011.
Scope of Services progress:
Visitor Guide Ad - The SCTB's annual visitor guide for 2011 has been completed. For 2011, 150,000 copies have been produced
including a new ad highlighting Rohnert Park family fun activities. SeTB research shows that for every visitor guide fulfilled, a visitor
spends 4 days in county and spends $436 dollars.
Dining Card - TheSeTB isin the final stages of completing a dining guide to be distributed via local hotels. Ten thousand copies will
be produced for the first printing. There was a good level of participation from local restaurants with over 20 restaurants opting to
. participate.

Santa Rosa, CA - MOVES is again this year pleased to
cooperate with the Sonoma County Human Services
Department and local city councils to promote observance of

Marsha Vas Dupre
The fourth Friday in April is annually the focus of national
public awareness efforts to direct attention to the tragedy of
violent child deaths as part of an initiative to reduce child
mortality. As in past years, the Board of Supervisors and
city councils will issue proclamations to mark the occasion.
The County and a number of Municipalities will also fly the
Children's Memorial Flag - a red flag depicting blue, paper-
doll-like figuresof children holding hands. In the center, the
white chalk outline of a missing child symbolizes the
thousands of children lost to violence. The design was
created by a 16-year-oldstudent in Alameda County.
MOVES joins county and city officials in urging all citizens to
participate in efforts to prevent child abuse and child death,

MOVES
is a positive campaign
with two goals:
1. To make people aware of what we
can do to minimize occurrences of
violence in our everyday lives.
2. To get people to actively
participate in the process of
making our community less
violent
To achieve these goals, it is
important for people to learn that each
of us can control the amount of
violence in the community. Part of the
answer can be achieved through
educating ourselves about the causes
of violence. We can also express our
views on how to change both the way
violence is portrayed in the media and
the way our children learn how to
understand and deal with violence.
Part of MOVES is to make the
community aware of what help is
available in learning to deal with anger
and conflict in nonviolent ways and how
to take steps on your own to reduce
your exposure to violence.

Tips for Families Who
Watch Television
• Plan your family viewing. Include your children in
deciding what they will watch by using a television
listing. Give your children choices from a list. of
shows that you know are nonviolent, informative, or
entertaining.
• Watch television with your child and talk about
the show you view together. Point out when you
disapprove of a character's violent acts and when
you think there are better ways to solve a problem,
Talk about what is real and pretend.
• Monitor your child's television viewing. Limit
children's viewing time to one or two hours daily,
• view programs through the eyes of a child.
Watch every program your child watches at least
once.
• Don't assume that a show isn't violent. Some
programs that seem innocent still give violent
messages.
• Other Alternatives. Use a video player and quality
children's videos as an alternative to television.
Substitute activities such as playing games, reading
books, discussing current events, or helping with
household projects that offer opportunity for thinking
creatively.
• Help children understand commercials. Discuss
commercials with your children. Point out when
advertisers make false or exaggerated claims.
■ Support regulation of children's television.
Encourage your legislators to support legislation that
promotes nonviolent television programming and
restricts advertising on children's television.
• Call or write television stations (network and
cable) and advertising sponsors to express your
opinions about programming. Inform them when
you are offended and also when you are pleased by
a program.
■ Request media literacy programs in schools. It
is important that children learn to analyze and
evaluate the information provided by media.
We Can Change Ourselves
And Our Communities
and.....
• We can practice listening.
• We can learn positive
communication techniques.
■ We can take a deep breath to
lower stress.
■ We can learn to control our anger.
■ We can find safe outlets for
anger.
• We can learn techniques to
diffuse anger in others.
• We can leave to resolve conflicts
without a physical fight.
• We can learn laws and guide-
lines to eliminate sexual
harassment.
■ We can show respect for police
officers. They are real people like
us.
• If we have a history of violent
behavior, we can join a support or
counseling group.
• We can acknowledge and reward
nonviolent behavior when we see
it.
■ We are peace- makers.

Agenda Title:
Resolution of the Council of the City of Rohnert Park Awarding a
Contract for Independent Audit Services to Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co.,
LLP and authorize the City Manager to enter a professional services
agreement for independent audit services.
Requested Council Action: Approve Resolution
Summary: The originally independent audit services contract with Odenberg, Ullakko, Muranishi & Co.,
LLP was awarded on March 28, 2006 for a period of three years and with the possibility of one, (2) two
year extension or two, (1) year extensions. On February 24,2009 the option for one, (2) two year .
extension was approved by resolution 2010-10. The option covered the audit services through fiscal year
2010. In February, 2011, the City sent out requests for proposals for independent audit services. Staff
reviewed all the proposals and selected four firms for interviews as follows:
1. Mann, Urrutia, Nelson CPA's
Sacramento, CA
2. Mayer Hoffman McCann
San Jose, CA
3. Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP
Pleasanton, CA
4. Odenberg, Ullakko, Muranishi & Co., LLP
San Francisco, CA
The interviews focused on the audit process, their professional knowledge and experience, staff
availability, tlieir ability to produce quality reports and the ability to meet the City's deadlines. After
interviewing four audit firms, Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP (VTD) emerged as the firm that would
best meet all the criteria. This firm has extensive governmental auditing experience and is within the top
'\
three California based CPA firms. VTD has provided governmental auditing services to over 300
governmental agencies on an annual basis over 60 years. They have qualified staff to meet our tight audit
deadline and have submitted a three-year proposal at a price that is $2,100 less than our prior annual audit
cost. In addition, independent external audits are mandated by State and Federal Laws. Independent
auditors must follow all state and federal regulations regarding audit requirements. VDT has current
experience in performing federal single audits and audits in compliance with all Government Auditing
Standards Board (GASB) as issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. References were
checked with no notable exceptions and an acceptable satisfaction level of work and expertise.
Conclusion: Staff is recommending that Council award a contract for independent audit services to
Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP.

Agenda Title: Adopt Contract for Replacement Dump Truck for the Public Works Department
Requested Council Action: Pass Resolution Awarding the Contract for Replacement Dump Truck
for the Public Works Department
Background: A dump truck is an essential piece of equipment used by Public Works staff perfonning
construction activities primarily related to replacing failed water services. On a daily basis, the dump
truck is used to transport very large volumes of construction materials including, pipe beddinglsubgrade
material and asphalt to and from worksites throughout the City.
For the second consecutive year, Public Works is on pace to replace approximately 200 failed water
services in the City's water distribution system. On an ongoing basis, this equates to almost four water
service replacements per week .
The number of failed service repairs over these past two years has significantly increased from previous
years; however, it is not a reason for alarm, but more or less attributable to the maturation of the City's
infrastructure. The design life of a water service and most underground infrastructure is approximately 50
years old; Considering that the City is approaching its 50th anniversary, and that there are about 9000
water service connections in Robnert Park, we should expect about 200 water service failures each and
every year from this point forward. Public Works must have reliable equipment -most importantly a
serviceable dump truck to keep up with the anticipated number of water service replacements.
The proposed new dump truck would replace the existing 1987 International Dump Truck. The current
1987 dump truck is 24 years old, has fully depreciated, and has far exceeded its useful life. In addition to
the age and diminished reliability of the existing dump, there are other considerations and looming
expenses that warrant its immediate removal from the City's active fleet:
1. Diesel engine emission retrofit - If this vehicle were to remain in the City active fleet, it
would be required to undergo an emissions retrofit under the State mandated diesel
retrofit program. The cost of this retrofit is approximately $18,000.
2. Miscellaneous repairs - due to the age and use, several expensive drive train and dump
bed repairs would be needed to achieve minimal reliability. The cost of these repairs is
estimated to be near $10,000.
3. Parts availability - repair parts are increasingly difficult to find. In some cases,
expensive specialty fabrication shops have been needed to repair p"arts that are no longer
available.
4. Maintenance intervals - not surprisingly, due to the age and use of this vehicle, more
frequent maintenance is required.
Staff estimates that a minimum of $28,000 must be spent on the existing dump truck in order to meet
State mandates and to meet minimum service reliability standards. However, the 1987 dump truck is
fully depreciated and has a residual value ofless than $5,000. Since the cost of the needed repair work far
exceeds the vehicle's value, and that these repairs may not extend its useful service life, staff is
recommend to forego these pending expenses, retire the 1987 dump truck and go out to bid for a
replacement dump truck.
Summary: Bids were mailed out on February 28,2011 to seven (7) bidders and the bid opening was held
on March 22,2011. At said bid opening two (2) proposals were received.
Bids received:

Contract Total
Downtown Ford Sales
Sacramento, CA
$ 72,796.25
Hansel Ford
Santa Rosa, CA
$75,019.75
The Public Works Department budgeted in fiscal year 2010-2011, $70,000.00 to purchase a new dump
truck.
Upon review of bids by staff, it was determined that awarding the contract to the lowest bidder would be
the most cost advantageous to the City.
Conclusion: Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase
contract and other pertinent documents for the dump truck, in the amount of $.72,796.25

Re: Support for Public InterestEnergy Research (PIER) program
Dear Senators:
We strongly support the reauthorization of the Public Interest Energy Research (PIER)
program and general support for reauthorization of the electric Public Goods Charge
(PGC) for a minimum of ten years at current investment levels.
A January] 8 Legislative Analyst Office (LAO) review of the PIER program provided to
the State Senate Energy Committee stated that "there is a role for the state to continue to
support public interest energy research beyond the 2012 sunset date... to assist the state
in ~eeting its energy goals." Of the three options for continuing the PIER program listed
in the LAO report, we support only Option One: "Continue PIER Program Under CEC
With a Tighter Focus." This option fulfills the historical public interest in funding R&D
for which there is an increasing need.
All ratepayers benefit tangibly from the programs funded under the PIER program. Long-
term, independent, sustained and thoughtful public interest research, development and
demonstration efforts are necessary to develop, scale-up, and deploy clean and affordable
energy solutions that tackle California's acute pollution problems as well as the long-
term GHG emissions reduction goals in the most cost-effective manner.
The PIER program enhances long-term energy security, energy independence, rate
stability, and long-term rate lowering and cost-effective GHG emissions reduction.

April 12. 2011 Letter to Senators re: Support for Public Interest Enerqy Research (PIER) proqram
(Page 2 of 2)
PIER's Renewable Energy Secure Communities (RESCO) program is an excellent example of a strategic use
of PIER fUJids. Sonoma County is proud to be implementing a three-year RESCO program in partnership
with the California Energy Commission. RESCO has been especially helpful in responding to public interest
in local energy and economic security. We believe that RESCO is critical to meeting this community's
aggressive GHG reduction goal.
Given the exceedingly difficult budgetary realities that the state is grappling with, the legislature must look
closely at investments made on behalf of Californians. Strategic public investments that produce long-term
benefits for all Californians such as the PIER program deserve to continue.
Sincerely,
Gina Belforte, Mayor

Subject: Request for letter of support - reauthorization CA's PIER program
Dear Elected Leader,
We urge you to send a letter supporting the reauthorization of the California Energy Commission's (CEC)
Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program and the electric utility Public Goods Charge (PGC). Both are
up forrenewal in January of2012. This would reinforce action taken at the Regional ClimateProtection
Authority today.
It would be preferable if you could submit this letter by the end of this month, but submitting in April would
still be acceptable.
PIER receives its funds from the ratepayers via the Public Goods Charge. PIER, in turn, funds important
research projects like the RESCO (Renewable Energy Secure Cominunities) project, a three-year Sonoma
County initiative to identify, "develop, quantify, and qualifY renewable energy sources within our community.
Partners in the RESCO project include the Sonoma County Water Agency (lead agency), the Regional Climate
Protection Authority, the Climate Protection Campaign and Los Alamos National Labs. RESCO is critical in
Sonoma County's effort to achieve its ambitious GHG emissions reductions target.
Attached is a draft letter for your use. I would appreciate receiving a copy of the letter you send.
Thank you for your past and ongoing leadership in addressing the global climate crisis by working to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions in Sonoma County.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, suggestions, or comments.
Yours, Ann Hancock, Executive Director

STAFF REPORT
BACKGROUND:
Throughout the nation, government agencies are increasingly using social media sites to broaden
communication regarding government services and facilitate greater citizen engagement.
Publicly available social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, provide advantageous
options for meeting these objectives as they are widely available to anyone with Internet access
and can provide opportunities for citizen interaction at virtually no cost.
What is social media or "Web 2.0"7 Traditional web portals such as websites generally provide
information in one direction much like a newspaper or television. Social media websites, on the
other hand, are designed for two-way communication. Social media is, by definition, the use of
technology combined with interactive communication to create value.
Social media sites already command a large and fast-increasing audience. According to
Facebook statistics, over 500 million users are active on Facebook every month) more than 20
million people connect to, Facebook Pages each day, and the top 40 US Government Facebook
Pages each have more than 1;5 million supporters ("fans"). Clearly, social media applications are
now main stream. Users of social media pages place a high value on receiving information and
generally tend to "opt in" for information through subscriptions to social media outlets rather ,
than seeking information on websites. While social media sites are not intended to replace
websites or other communication tools, they can serve as a valuable means to link users back to
an organization's website for more in-depth information.
For these reasons, the City of Rohnert Park recognizes the importance of and value in using
social media sites to improve and broaden communication about the City's mission, meetings,
activities, and current issues to members of the public. However, due to the City's overriding
interest and expectation in deciding what is "spoken" on behalf of the City on social media: sites,
it is also necessary to establish parameters for their use and monitoring. In addition, the desire to
increase citizen engagement through interactive communication requires adoption of guidelines
for acceptable conduct by users of the site. To address these and other legal and policy issues '
outlined below, the City's Social Media Committee I has drafted a proposed Social Media Policy
(Attachment 1) and proposed Social Media Use Standards and Procedures (Attachment 2) for
Council consideration.
SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY:
The proposed Social Media Policy addresses the following policy and legal issues associated
with the use of social media sites by government agencies:
1. Administration and Use of Social Media Sites: The policy sets forth required approvals
for creation of new social media sites, expectations regarding oversight and
administration of existing social media sites, and a requirement that social media sites
comply with all appropriate City policies and procedures.
I The Social Media Committee is comprised of: David Rowley, Information Technology Manager; Terri Griffm,
Deputy City Clerk; Guy Miller, Community Services Services Manager; Nelle Seidenspinner, Community ~ervices
Supervisor; Gene Abravaya, Theater Manager; and Mickey Zeldes, Animal Shelter Supervisor. .
The policy further assigns the development of Social Media Use Standards and
Procedures to the City Manager. These standards and procedures, designed to be used in
conjunction with the Social Media Policy, determine:
a. How social media sites will be established and maintained;
b. Acceptable uses and formats of social media sites;
c. ExpeCted standards of conduct on. social media sites by designated employees;
d. Recommended guidelines for the successful use of social media tools; and
e. Standards for the creatIon, maintenance, and use of each approved social media site.
Social media sites and their applications are developing at a rapid pace. For this reason,
the policy allows the City Manager to efficiently implement changes to the Social Media
Standards and ProcedUJes. And while the policy currently authorizes the use of Facebook
and Twitter, it allows the City Manager flexibility to evaluate other social media tools in
the future should they be deemed appropriate for citizen communication.
2. Content: The policy establishes the primary use of social media sites as informational
channels to increase the City's ability to broadcast its message to the widest possible
audience.
Content may include:
. Announcements of City activities and City-sponsored community events;
. Announcements of new/expanded City services;
. Invitations to attend City workshops and meetings;
.. Links to City Council and advisory body meeting agendas;
. Links to City Press Releases and other news;
. Notifications of road closures and construction updates;
. Notifications and reminders regarding public safety issues, such as annual brush
clearing, earthquake preparedness, etc;
. Tips for water conservation, refuse recycling, etc; and
. Simple citizen surveys and contests.
The policy affirms that the City's website (www.rpcity.org) will continue to serve as the
City's primary internet presence and requires that social media po stings link back to
expanded information on the City's website whenever possible. The policy also
establishes that the City's PEG channels (Comcast Channel 26 and AT&T U-verse
Channel 99) would serve as the City's primary tools for disseminating emergency
information.
3. Legal Issues: Social media present legal implications unique to government agencies.
These issues are addressed in the policy as follows:
a. First Amendment: The 'policy creates a limited public forum by allowing users to
comment on articles or other content posted by the City. Thus, the City cannot
exclude or delete comments based on viewpoint or because they are critical of the
City. The City can, however, exclude or delete inappropriate comments if the
inappropriate speech is defined in the City's policy (see Citizen Conduct below).
?
b. Brown Act: To avoid potential Brown Act issues, the policy contains an advisement
that members of the City Council and City advisory bodies refrain from commenting
on City social media sites regarding matters with the body's jurisdiction.
c. Records Retention and Public Records Act: The policy requires departments to retain
social media content consistent with Califomialaw and the City's records retention
policy. Although the City's records retention policy does not specifically address
social media content, the City will retain social media site content for a two-year
period consistent with the retention of City correspondence and other communication.
The poliqy further provides that City social media sites are subject to California civil
discovery statutes'and the California Public Records Act and requires the City to
maintain site content so that it may be produced in response to a records request.
4. CitiZen Conduct: The policy's "Comment Policy" establishes standards for conduct by
users of City social media sites and specifically prohibits the following content:
a. Profane language or content;
b. Content that promotes, fosters, or perpetuates discrimination on the basis of race,
creed, color, age, religion, gender, marital status, status with regard to public
assistance, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation or any
other basis protected by state or federal law;
c. Sexual content or links to sexual content;
d. Solicitations ,of commerce and other pure commercial speech
e. Conduct or encouragement of illegal activity;
f. Comments in support of or opposition to political campaigns or ballot measures;
g. Inforrilation that may compromise the safety or security of the public or public
systems or employees;
h. Content that violates a legal ownership interest of any other party.
the Comment Policy also contains.a number of legal disclaimers and requires that
comment guidelines and disclaimers be displayed to users of the site and/or made
available via a link.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is seeking Council feedback and direction regarding the intended purpose and use of social
media sites as stated in the proposed Social Media Policy. Because staff intends to launch a City
Facebook page following the adoption of the Social Media Policy; staff would also like to obtain
Council input regarding the page's content and layout. Assuming Council concurs with this
strategy, the final Social Media Policy will be brought to Council for adoption on April 26th, and
the official City Facebook page will be launched on June 1 st.
It should be noted that the Community Services Department and the Rohnert Park Animal
Shelter have established Facebook pages. Assuming the proposed Social Media policy is
adopted, these pages would need only minor modifications to be in compliance with the policy.

III. Recommended GUfdelines Jo.r the Successful Use of Social Media Tools
LA #4826-9576-5768 vi
A. )Departments vvJ$bing to establish a social media presence are required to
rg~Hlarly maintairl;;md monitor their approved department site. Therefore, the
dep~tttrnent's dire~~or should determine in advance who will contribute to the
site aridbpw mLislrtime will be necessary to maintain and monitor it.
B. For efficiency\,ahd consistency, consider using "foundcontent" (i.e. ready-made
information from City email, website, press releases, etc.) rather than drafting
original content. Any content posted on a department's social media site must
be consistent with any content posted on the City's official website and must not
be contrary to any City policy or federal, state or local law.
C. Posting daily is not necessary. Posts should be updated only when there is new,
worthwhile information to share, such as upcoming meetings, developments on
significant projects and other newsworthy events.
Page 20f9
D. All posts should be concise and fact-based. Designated employees responsible
for updating the department's social media site must not post personal opinions
or take an adversarial tone and must conduct themselves as representatives of
the City at all times.
E. When appropriate, use images to enrich postings and provide informational
value. Appropriate images may include photographs of civic events or graphs
and charts. However, any posted images must not violate applicable copyright
or ownership laws. T~e City Manager will have the final authority in determining
what images are appropriate.
F. Correct mistakes promptly. Do not alter pr~'\liqus posts without indicating that
you have done so.
IV. Comments and Posts bv the Public

Agenda Title:
Consideration of Baseline, Targets, and Compliance Year Urban Per Capita
Water Use for the Implementation of the Water Conservation Act of2009
and Authorization of Letter Agreement
Requested Council Action:
Staff is recommending the council provide the following direction to staff:
1. Participate in a regional alliance for the purposes of compliance with the Water
Conservation Act of 2009.
2. Continue with drafting 2010 Urban Water Management Plan using both the individual
targets and compliance calculations as well as regional targets and compliance
calculations for per capita water use as described in the staff report and attachments.
Staffis also recommending council approve attached Resolution No. 2011-30 authorizing and
approving the Letter Agreement for establishing a regional alliance to comply with SBX7-7, the
Water Conservation Act of2009.
Summary:
The Water Conservation Act of2009 (Act) requires urban water suppliers to achieve a 20
percent reduction in per capita (person) water use by the year 2020. Suppliers are also required
to develop an implementation plan and water use targets relating to the requirement for a 20
percent reduction. The City will be presenting its water use targets and implementation plan in
its 2010 Urban Water Management Plan, which is in preparation at this time. In order to
complete the 2010 UWMP, staff is seeking council direction regarding target determination and
implementation.
The 2020 per capita water use target for the City of Rohnert Park is 119 gallons per day. Per
capita water use in 2020 is projected to be 99 gallons per day, meeting the target.
The Act allows water suppliers to form regional alliances for the purpose of complying with the
Act. A regional alliance of Sonoma County Water Agency prime contractors and Marin
Municipal Water District provides benefits to the contractors and staff recommends that the City
participate in the regional alliance in addition to setting individual targets.

Staff Report
City of Rohnert Park
Update on Water Conservation Act of 2009
April 2011
Backl!round:
The Water Conservation Act of2009 (Act), Water Code Section 10608, requires urban water
suppliers to reduce per capita water use by 20 percent by the year 2020. The Act requires
suppliers to determine base lines, targets, and projected compliance. This information must be
included in each supplier's 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (due July 1,2011). Staff are in
the process of developing the 2010 UWMP and would benefit from receiving preliminary
direction from the City Council regarding the Act for subsequent inclusion and formal adoption
with the 2010 UWMP.
This report presents information relating to the Act and its implementation. The report relies on
information in and uses excerpts from the Methodologies for Calculating Baseline and
Compliance Urban Per Capita Water Use, California Department of Water Resources, February
2011. Staff apologizes in advance for the heavy use of jargon; the terminology used flows from
state documents.
Water Use Tarl!ets
Urban water suppliers must set a 2020 water use target and a 2015 interim target using one of
four methods as follows:
Method 1:
Method 2:
Eighty percent of the water supplier's baseline per capita water use
Per capita daily water us estimated using the sum of performance standards
applied to indoor residential use; landscaped area water use; and CII uses
Ninety-five percent of the applicable state hydrologic region target as stated in the
State's April 30, 2009, draft 20x2020 Water Conservation Plan
An approach developed by DWR that takes into consideration water lo!"s,
conservation program saturation, and a number of other factors
Method 3:
Method 4:
In addition to the four methods for 20 percent reduction determination, there is second minimum
conservation requirement of 5 percent from a five year base period. In the case of the City of
Rohnert Park, this alternate minimum 5 percent governs and determines the City's interim and
2020 water use targets.
Staff evaluated Method 1, Method 3, and the minimum 5 percent for possible target
determination. Calculations for Gross water use are presented in Table 1, recycled water use in
Table 2, minimum 5 percent in Table 3, and Method 1 results in Tables 4A and 4B. Method 2
and Method 4 are very complex requiring significant analysis and it is expected, in any case, that
the minimum 5 percent will govern for the City. Furthermore, analysis indicates the City will
meet its targets. For those reasons, Methods 2 and 4 were screened from further analysis.
Page 1 of 14
Water suppliers have some flexibility in setting and revising use targets:
. A water supplier may set its water use target and comply individually, or as part of a
regional alliance.
. A water supplier may revise its water use target in its 2015 or 2020 urban water
management plan or in an amended plan.
. A water supplier may change the method it uses to set its water use target and report it in
a 2010 amended plan or in its 2015 urban water management plan. Urban water suppliers
are not permitted to change target methods after they have submitted their 2015 UWMP.
Calculation of Gross Water Use
Presented in Table 1 are the calculations for the City's gross water use. The format and content
of Table 1 follow state adopted Methodology 1.1
1 Methodologies are differentiated from Methods in the state's guidance documents. Methods are for setting
targets. Methodologies are for calculations that yield targets when applied according to Methods.

Recycled Water
The Act discusses use of recycled water in two ways. First, it provides that suppliers may exclude
recycled water used indirectly for potable reuse from Gross Water Use. Rohnert Park does not use
recycled water for indirect potable reuse. Second, the Act allows suppliers that offset at least 10% of their
potable demand to use a longer base period-l 5 years instead of 10 years.
The Act states:
For an urban retail water supplier that meets at least 10 percent of its 2008 measured
retail water demand through recycled water that is delivered within the service area
of an urban retail water supplier or its urban wholesale water supplier, the urban
retail water supplier may extend the calculation described in paragraph (1) up to an
additional five years to a maximum of a continuous 15-year period ending no earlier
than December 31,2004, and no later than December 31,2010.
The City did meet at least 10 percent of its 2008 demand using recycled water. The data are presented in
Table 2; However, as will be seen later, the minimum reduction of 5 percent from a later five year base
period governs for the City. Therefore, the City does not rely on this provision for setting its baseline use
or targets. Nevertheless, the calculations using this provision are provided in Table 4A.

Service Area Population
The Act states:
When calculating per capita values for the purposes of this chapter, and urban retail
water supplier shall determine population usingfederal, state, and local population
reports and projections.
The City is using population estimates published by the California Department of Finance on their
website, specifically report E-4 and E-5. Population estimates are presented in Tables 3, 4A and 4B.
It should be noted that the Act requires re-examination of the targets and a compliance determination with
the 2015 UWMP. By that time the Department of Finance may have updated its prior population
estimates to reflect recently released US.Census 2010 data. Because the base periods used in this analysis
end in 2007, the 2010 Census data may be of little utility for attempting to normalize Department of
Page 4 of 14
Finance population estimates prior to 2010. In any case, the 2010 Census count for Rohnert Park is 2,000
persons less than the Department of Finance estimates. That would indicate that Department of Finance
estimates may be too high during the base period. If so, then the City would have a higher baseline water
usage and an easier target to meet. It is therefore conservative to rely on the higher Department of
Finance estimates when setting the baseline and targets.
Base Daily Per Capita Water Use
Base Daily Per Capita Water use is defined as the average gross water use, expressed in gallons per
person per day, for a continuous, multiyear base period. The Act specifies two base periods:
· The first base period is a continuous five-year period and is used to determine whether 2020 per
capita water use is at least 5 percent less than the base period. The base period, interim target,
and 2020 target for this base period are shown in Table 3.
· The second base period is a 10- to l5-year continuous period (depending on recycled water use)
used to determine whether the 2020 per capita water use is at least 20 percent less than the base
period. The base period, interim target, and 2020 target for this base period are shown in Tables
4A (using recycled water provision) and Table 4B (without recycled water provision),
Interim and 2020 Targets
The Act requires use of the lower of Table 3 or Table 4 (higher of 4A or 4B) when setting targets. As
shown in Table 3, the Interim and 2020 Targets the City are respectively 122 and 119 gallons per person
per day.
Method 3 allows water suppliers to meet 95% of the applicable hydrologic region target. This target for
our North Coast Hydrologic Region is 137 gallons per person per day. Staff recommends that the City
use Method 3 for settings its target. However, because it is greater'than the target determined in Table 3,
using the 5 percent reduction from a 5 year baseline, the City must comply with the targets in Table 3.

City's Water Use Compliance
The Act requires that urban water providers estimate compliance with the Interim (2015) Target and the
2020 Target.
Water Use Projections
To estimate future year water use, it is necessary to estimate gross water use and population. To assist in
this regard water providers in the region hired Maddaus Water Management (MWM), an internationally
recognized water demand projection expert with significant local experience. MWM used Association of
Bay Area Governments 2009 projections of population and employment for Rohnert Park combined with
actual metered water use from 2007 to project future water demands to 2035 for inclusion in the 2010
Urban Water Management Plan. MWM adjusted current demands for plumbing code changes and other
new laws enacted by state and federal governments. MWM also adjusted demands for Tier 1
Page 8 of 14
<2'
conservation measures-those included in the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC)
Memorandum of Dnderstanding (MOD) to which Rohnert Park is a signatory.2 MWM also quantified
savings from new development-conservation/water use efficiency measures. Many of the new
development standards are included in Cal-Green, but Cal-Green had not yet been implemented at the
time of the analysis, so it was not included in the plumbing code/state/federal law section. Finally, MWM
also quantified savings from a number of "Tier 2" conservation measures. For this analysis, the savings
from Tier 2 are not included b~cause most of these conservation measures were shown to have benefit
cost ratios less than one and Rohnert Park is well under the Interim and 2020 Targets without the Tier 2
measures. The Tier 1, Tier 2, and New Development Conservation Measures evaluated in the MWM
report are shown in Tables 5, 6, and 7.

for water supply with the Sonoma County Water Agency.

Estimate of Compliance-Year Per Capita Water Use
Based on the MWM analysis, as summarized below in Table 8, using the plumbing code/state/federal
laws, Tier 1 conservation measures, and new development standards, the City's 2015 and 2020 water use
are both projected to be 102 gallons per person per day. This compares favorably to the City's Interim
and 2020 Targets of 122 and 119 gpcd respectively. Thus, it has been demonstrated-the City will meet
its Interim and 2020 Targets for per capita water use.

Using similar methods as described above, three of the prime water contractors are projected to not quite
meet the requirements of the Act on an individual basis. They therefore are requesting a regional alliance
to comply with the Act. Attached is a letter from the three agencies and a document prepared by all of the
potential regional alliance agencies describing the situation in more detail. As a regional alliance, the
prime contractors ofthe Sonoma County Water Agency along with Marin Municipal Water District can
demonstrate that they are projected to meet the requirements of the Act. .
The Technical Advisory Committee of water contractors strongly recommends pursuing the regional
alliance because if even one contractor is not meeting the Act requiremerits, use of Sonoma County Water
Agency water may be called into question by opponents of a reliable water supply for the water
contractors. The Water Advisory Committee voted in March to pursue a regional alliance for compliance
with the Act. Attached is a letter agreement that each contractor would need to execute to participate in
the regional alliance. There is no downside to the City participating in the regional alliance because, if
the regional alliance does not meet the Act requirements, the City can still meet them on its own.
Furthermore, the trend at the state level is toward encouraging regional cooperation with respect to water
Issues.

Recommendations
Staff is recommending the council provide the following direction to staff:
1. Participate in a regional alliance for the purposes of compliance with the Water Conservation Act
of2009.
2. Continue with drafting 2010 Urban Water Management Plan using both the individual targets and
compliance calculations as well as regional targets and compliance calculations for per capita
water use as described in the staff report and attachments.
Staff is also recommending council approve attached Resolution No. 2011-30 authorizirig and approving
the Letter Agreement for establishing a regional alliance to comply with SBX7-7, the Water,Conservation
Act of2009.

Re: SBX7 -7 the Water Conservation Act of 2009 - Request for Regional Compliance
DearColleagues:
The Water Conservation Act of 2009 (SBX7-7) sets a goal of achieving a 20% statewide
reduction in urban per capita water use at year 2020 and directs urban retail water suppliers to set a
2020 urban water use target. The legislation enables urban water suppliers to plan, comply and
report on a regional basis by forming a regional alliance.
The purpose of this letter is to request your concurrence to comply with SBX7 -7 on a regional
basis and to define the regional alliance as one that includes water retailers' signatory to the
Restructured Agreement for Water Supply (WaterContractors) and Marin Municipal-Water District.
Guidance provided by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) indicates that to form a
regional alliance, water suppliers must meet at least one of the following criteria including: .
. Water suppliers are recipients of water from a common water wholesaler water
supplier;~'!
. Water suppliers are partners with a common regional agency authorized to plan and
implement water conservation; or
. Water suppliers join through appropriate geographic scales for which these
methodologies can be applied.
"
SBX7-? The Water Conservation Act of 2009 - Request for Regional Compliance
February 25, 2011
Page 2
Signatories to the Restructured Agreement for Water Supply and Marin Municipal Water
District all receive water from a common wholesale supplier Sonoma County Water Agency'
(SCWA). Additionally, the same group of retail water suppliers are signatories to the Sonoma-Marin
Saving Water Partnership Joint Powers Memorandum of Understanding (S~MSWP MOU). That
MOU recited that "the Parties recognize that establishing common water conservation projects on a
regional basis and applicable across political and jurisdictional boundaries may be a means of cost
effectively conserving more water than would otherwise be conserved by an individual agency."
Commitments in the S-MSWP MOU additionally identify that each agency will designate a staff
member responsible for proposing conservation projects that will increase water conservation
amounts or efficiency including CUWCC BMP compliance, lonQ-ranQe and annual water savinQ
Qoals (emphasis added) and other water conservation related tasks as directed by the Water
Advisory Committee. I , I ,
The Water Contractors and Marin Municipal have been working collaborativelywith SCWA
in developing our individual 201 0 Urban Water Manage Plans (UWMP). Each 2010 UWMP must
address SBX7-7 requirements and include baseline gross water use and population, 2020 urban
water use target and 2015 interim urban water use target, and compliance year gross water use and
population. The collaborative effort noted above has identified that three of the Water Contractors
(North Marin Water District, Town of Windsor and City of Sonoma) currently forecast to not meet the,
individual SBX7 -7 targets; however, the collaborative effort forecasts that a regional alliance will
comply. Compliance will be assessed by DWR both on a regional and individual basis. If a regional
alliance meets its regional target, all suppliers in the alliancewill be deemed compliant. If a regional
alliance fails to meet its regional targ,et, water suppliers in the alliance that meet their individual
targets will be deemed compliant. Thus, there is no risk to those regional alliance participants which
meet their individual targets.
The Water Contractors, including North Marin, Windsor and Sonoma, are committed to
continued water conservation efforts, as documented in recent reports to the State Water
Resources Control Board (Attachment 1) and financial commitments recited in the S-MSWP MOU.
The reasons for potential non-compliance by these entities vary. In North Marin's case, the climate
and relative large suburban lot size of predominant single family homes is the.primary factor. For
Windsor, it is the large Airport Business Park water use; and for Sonoma, water use resulting from '
the large visitor ba~e is forecast to trigger non-compliance. .
The penalty for SBX7-7 non-compliance is currently limited to a prohibition for state low-
interest loan and grant funding for water related projects. It is speculated, however, that future non-
compliance could result in a determination that the volume of water subject to non-compliance be
classified as a non-beneficial use of water and potentially adversely affect wa~er rights held by
Sonoma County Water Agency or one of the retail agencies.
In summary, the undersigned request your concurrence to comply with SBX7-7 on a
regional basis. DWR requires that a regional alliance ~~nd a letter informing of the formation and
members. We believe the S-MSWP MOU can be the basis to create and manage the regional
alliance. Once your concurrence is received we will work with your staff to fulfill all DWR
requirements. '

Regional Alliance Baseline and Water Use Target Calculations for the Sonoma
County Water Agency Water Contractors
Senate Bill x7-7, the Water Conservation Act, was signed into law in 2009. The legislation set a
goal of 20% reduction in statewide urban per capita water use and requires urban water
retailers that must comply with the Urban Water Management Planning Act to set a 2020 urban
per capita water use target. .
The legislation provides that urban water retail suppliers may plan, comply, and report on the
2020 urban per capita water use target on a regional basis, an individual basis, or both.
10608.20. (a) (1) Each urban retail water supplier shall develop urban water use targets and an
interim urban water use target by July I, 2011. Urban retail water suppliers may elect to determine
and report progress toward achieving these targets on an individual or regional basis, as provided in
subdivision (a) of Section 10608.28, and may determine the targets on afiscal year or calendar year
basis.
10608.28. (a) An urban retail water supplier may meet its urban water use target within its retail
service area, or through mutual agreement, by any of the following:
(1) Through an urban wholesale water supplier.
(2) Through a regional agency authorized to plan and implement water conservation,
including, but not limited to, an agency established under the Bay Area Water Supply and
Conservation Agency Act (Division 31 (commencing with Section 81300)).
(3) Through a regional water management group as defined in-Section 10537.
(4) By an integrated regional water management funding area.
(5) By hydrologic region.
(6) Through other appropriate geographic scales for which computation methods have been
developed by the department.
(b) A regional water management group, with the written consent of its member agencies, may
undertake any or all planning, reporting, and implementation functions under this chapter for the
member agencies that consent to those activities. Any data or reports shall provide information both
for the regional water management group and separately for each consenting urban retail water
supplier and urban wholesale water supplier.
Reqional Alliance Baseline and Tarqet Calculation
Per Department of Water Resources Methodologies for Calculating Baseline and Compliance
Urban Per Capita Water Use (DWR Methodologies), the Water Contractors of the Sonoma
County Water Agency (Water Contractors) are eligible to form a regional alliance because we
are recipients of water from a common wholesale water supplier.
Per the DWR Methodologies, there are three options for calculating a regional alliance target.
The first option is for each member of the regional alliance to calculate their individual target and
then weight the individual targets by each member's population. The weighted targets are then
averaged to determine the regional alliance target. Current population data can be used for
generating the regional target.
The second option is to sum up each member's gross water use and service area populations to
develop a regional gross water use and population. A base daily per capita water use would be
calculated and a target would be calculated using one of the following four methods:
1. 80% of the regional alliance's baseline per capita daily water use;
1
March 14,2011
?
2. Performance standards of 55 gallons per capita per day for indoor water use, water
efficiency equivalent to the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance for landscapes
irrigated through dedicated or residential meters, and a 10% reduction in Commercial,
Industrial, Institutional water use;
3. 95% of the applicable state hydrologic region target as set forth in the State's 20x2020
Water Conservation Plan. If the area includes more than one hydrologic region, the
area should be apportioned to each region based on population or area; or
4. Provisional Target Method 4 developed by DWR.
Alliances must have all of their members use the same baseline period.
The third option is to calculate regional gross water use or population directly for the entire
regional alliance area. A base daily per capita water use would be calculated and a target
would be calculated using one of the four methods listed above. As with the second option,
alliances must have all of their members use the same baseline period. The regional target
may not exceed 95% of the region's 5-year Base Daily Per Capita Water Use.
The data to calculate the third option is not easily available. Therefore, option 1 and option 2
were used for calculating a regional target for the Water Contractors. Upon review and
evaluation, the Water Contractors are recommending option 1, below, for calculating the
regional target.

Data Reportin~
A regional alliance must send a letter to DWR by July 1 , 2011 stating that an alliance had been
formed and including a list of alliance members. Regional alliances that do not submit a
regionaf UWMP must submit regional alliance reports, including the following information:
A list of the individual members in the alliance
Baseline gross water use and service area population
Individual 2015 and 2020 Water Use Targets for each alliance member as well as the
regional 2015 and 2020 Water Use Targets
Compliance year gross water use and service area population
Adjustments to gross water use in compliance year
The above information must also be included in each regional alliance member's individual
UWMP.
Compliance Assessment
If a regional alliance meets its regional target, all members in the alliance will be deemed
compliant. If a regional alliance fails to meets its regional target, individual members who meet
their individual targets will be deemed compliant. If a regional alliance fails to meet its regional
target and an individual member fails to meet its individual target, the individual member will be
deemed non-compliant.

March 14, 2011
?
10608.26. (a) In complying with this part, an urban retail water supplier shall conduct at least one
public hearing to accomplish all of the following:
(1) Allow community input regarding the urban retail water supplier's implementation plan
for complying with this part.
(2) Consider the economic iinpacts of the urban retail water supplier's implementation plan
for complying with this part.
(3) Adopt a method, pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 10608.20 for determining its urban
water use target.
ReQional Alliance AQreements and Dissolution
It is up to each regional alliance to determine the appropriate Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) or Agreement for a Regional Alliance. DWR will not review or approve MOUs or
Agreements usedto create a Regional Alliance, however any MOU or Agreement must be in
compliance with all applicable sections of the Water Code.
Individual members can withdraw from a regional alliance. The individual member that
withdraws must comply individually with the water use target and the Regional Alliance must
recalculate the regional baseline and target data. The Regional Alliance may dissolve prior to
2020. If a Regional Alliance dissolves, individual members must comply individually with the
water use target.

California Building StandarcJ.s Tier I-Residential and Non-Residential Measures
to supplement the 2010 Edition of California Building Standards Code- (Cal Green).
Backt!round
City Council directed staff to research costs pertaining to the . adoption' of Tier 1
Voluntary Measures for residential and non-residential standards (Tier 1). Tier 1
measures have been adopted in several cities within the-region to supplement a section of
the 2010 Building Standards Code also ~own as "CalGreen." The Tier 1 standards in
these cities have in been in place a relatively short tin1e, since January 1, 2011. The
purpose of this memo is to update City Council based on .a recent study in relation to
projected costs of Tier 1 measures.
. Costs of Tier 1
. An Energy Cost-Effectiveness study prepared by Gabel Associates, LLC for PG& Ei was
. reviewed by staff to obtain cost information related to Tier 1. The study is Climate Zone.
2 specific, which is our climate zone, and provides an incre:m,entalcost on single family
dwellings, multi-family apartments and office buildings. The study was prepared to show
the initial costs of bringing these structures in compliance with CalGreen Tier 1 as well
as the s~vings and the payback time frame. The methodology used in the study was
based on a design process for each of the proposed building types that first meets the
minimum requirements and then exceeds the 2008 Energy Standards by 15%, a Tier 1
requirement. .
The case study mcludes the following projects with different options to determine
average incremental construction costs ofthe Energy Standard~ requirements only for
Tier 1 compliance:
. 2,025 square foot, 2 story single family dwelling with two different options used
. for energy compliance. .
. 2,682 square foot, 2-story single family dwelling with three different options
used for energy compliance.
· 8,442 square foot Multi-Family Apartments, 8 units/2 stories with two different
options used for energy compliance.
· 21;160 square foot, 2-story office building with two different options used for
energy compliance.
Summary
To summarize these fmdings the following indicates an average incremental cost to
construct the various buildings, in compliance with Energy Standards only, to Tier 1
standards:
1. .2,025 square foot; 2 story single family dwelling; incremental first cost of
$2,057. The annual cost savings is $151 with a payback of 13.6 years.
2. 2,682 square foot, 2-story single family dwelling; incremental first cost of
$2,316. The annual cost savings is $179 with a payback of 12.9 years.
3.' 8,442 square foot Multi-Family Apartments, 8 unitsl2 stories; incremental first
cost of$7,238. The annual cost savings is$577 with a payback of 12.6 years.
4. 21,160 square foot, 2-story office building; incremental first costof$S8,336. The
annual cost savings is $3,020 with a payback of 19.4years.
Conclusion:
The conclusion of this study indicates that regardless of the buUding design, occupancy
and number of stories, the improvements of exceeding the Energy Standards by 15%
appear to be cost effective over time. .
These costs do not reflect the actual costs for Tier 1 compliance smce there was no
information on design costs and Special Inspector costs. These costs are market driven
and would be very difficult to estimate without some history ~ . ,
Staff will continue to monitor information regarding costs of Tier 1 measures and return
to City Council as the information becomes available.

Subject: Please raise the sewer rates!
This is to express our support for raising the sewer rates to where they should be. We will be out of town on May 10 and cannot attend the Public
Hearing, so we send this message to let you - -and through you, we hope, the City Council- -know of our support.
We voted against cutting the sewer rates, and we're ashamed of our fellow citizens for being so ignorant and gullible as to vote for it. We're sorry that
you have to use scarce resources to produce and send flyers explaining the. obvious. We agree with Oliver Wendell Holmes, who said, "I like paying
taxes. With them I buy civilization."
Sincerely,
Roy & 'Wendy Freborg

Communication received 3/30/2011 from
Joe McCormick 799 -0606
L- Section
Mr. McCormick is complaining about the lack of animal control in Rohnert Park. He has logged in over
12 complaints to DPS about his neighbor's barking dog. They only give warnings — not citations. He has
been advised to do a "citizen's arrest."
He feels that the City should have at least one officer to handle these situations and is planning to
contact each councilmember individually.

Subject: City Council Meeting April 12th Cal-Green Tier 1 Discussion
Importance: High
To Madam Mayor and Members of the Council:
I apologize for not being able to attend in person tonight and hope this email finds you all well.
We understand that tonight's agenda contains further discussion over the potential adoption of the mandatory Tier 1
standard of the new Cal-Green Building code. As you are all well aware Sonoma Mountain Village will be adopting
standards greater than those outlined in Tier 1 however we urge the City to follow staff's original recommendation and
adopt the Tier 1 as mandatory. We feel to do this will ensure that a reasonable balance is maintained between business
sustainability and environmental sustainability.
In the past Rohnert Park raised the bar with its progressive Green Building Ordinance, nearly every City in the County has
adopted Tier 1 as mandatory and both business and environmental organizations stood in shoulder to shoulder in support
of this.
We hope and believe that the City will show once again it's forward thinking and responsible nature,
Regards,
Kirstie Moore, ~ LEED AP BD&C

Staff Report: Alternative Rohnert Park Station Location
Issue Summary
At the request of the City of Rohnert Park (see attached letter dated February 23, 2011), SMART
staff has evaluated the feasibility of an alternate location for a station in Rohnert Park. This is an
information item for the Committee and no action or direction is required at this time.
Analysis
Backaround
. The 1997 Calthorpe Study's "Preferred Scenario" proposed a rail station at Rohnert Park
Expressway. The current Rohnert Park General Plan (adopted 2000) also called for the
evaluation of a station at Rohnert Park Expressway. By 2003, however, the City of Rohnert Park
had identified the Wilfred Avenue/Golf Course Drive location as its preferred SMART station
location. This station site was subsequently included in SMART's 2005 DEIR and, 2006 FEIR.
SMART's station design team has advanced the station at this location to a 30% engineering
level.
In February 2011, the Rohnert Park City Council asked SMART to consider an alternative
location for the Rohnert Park Station, near Rohnert Park Expressway. SMART staff has
completed that evaluation. This report describes the current Wilfred Ave/Golf Course Drive site,
explains an alternative station concept at Rohnert Park Expressway, and compares the two
locations across a number of criteria. It also reviews the implications of relocating the station for
SMART's project budget and its project schedule.
Existina ProlJosed Location
The existing station site, shown in the drawing on the following page, is located adjacent to an
existing City-owned, park-and-ride commuter lot along Roberts Lake Road near the Wilfred
Ave/Golf Course Drive interchange on Highway 101. Based on SMART's 30% drawings, there
will be 151 spaces in the parking lot, along with 7 proposed short-term "kiss-and-ride" stalls.
Currently, Golden Gate Transit serves this location with its express Route 72, a north-south line
?

that mainly connects Santa Rosa to San Francisco via Hwy 101 during weekday commute hours.
On a typical morning, the parking lot generally has about 30-50 cars present.

Some of these cars might still be present when SMART is operational, which could slightly reduce
parking capacity for SMART patrons. There are a considerable number of on-street parking
spaces on Roberts Lake Road; however, those spaces adjacent to the station are being
eliminated with Caltran's Wilfred Interchange project currently under construction. The parking
capacity of this station forSMART patrons will likely be about 100-120 spaces.
The Wilfred/Golf Course Drive station is also served by Sonoma County Transit (SCT) Routes 44
and 48, which link Rohnert Park to Santa Rosa via Santa Rosa Avenue and would likely help to
feed transit users into the station. SCT staff is planning to modify its local Routes 10, 12 and 14 to
serve the station site when rail service commences. This station also has good auto access from
Highway 101, which will further improve when the Wilfred Interchange project is completed.
This station is close to retail, hotel, and commercial employment around the Wilfred interchange.
Given its location and current connecting bus service, it is also well situated geographically to
serve patrons originating in neighborhoods on the southern side of Santa Rosa. It would also be
well suited to serve a future casino via a shuttle, in the event that one was constructed on the
west side of Highway 101, as proposed by the Graton Rancheria.
This location, however, does have its disadvantages. The % mile radius around the station has
relatively few housing units and consequently this station does not score well with MTC's Transit
Oriented Development Policy (810 unit score), which aims for 2,200 existing and potential units
around SMART station. The area is also not very pedestrian-oriented, given the adjacent freeway
interchange and the relatively low density of residences in the immediate station vicinity.

This station has an estimated direct cost of approximately $2.2 million, excluding soft costs and
contingencies.
Alternative Location
The proposed alternative station is located at the intersection of the railroad right-of-way and
Rohnert Park Expressway. SMART examined locations adjacent to the track on both the north
side and south side of the Expressway and concluded that the south side was more favorable.
The north side has an existing golf course on the east of the railroad right-of-way, which if used
would necessitate a complete re-configuring of the course. On the west side there is a police
facility with a secure parking area for police vehicles. There is not room for any additional parking
between the police facility and the SMART right-of-way. Consequently, parking for patrons would
require either the use of the existing police lot, or use of the library parking lot several hundred
feet away. At a minimum, there would need to be substantial modifications of nearby parking lot
areas, to allow for auto drop-offs, and pedestrian access to a station platform. Lastly, there is a
small area of designated wetland on the west side of the track north of Rohnert Park Expressway.

On the south side of Rohnert Park Expressway, shown above, the City owns a strip of property
connecting Rohnert Park Expressway to Seed Farm Drive on the western side of SMART's
tracks. The City's right-of-way is about 60 feet wide at the south end, broadening to about 100
feet wide at the north end. A short, paved driveway and parking area provides access into the
City's corporate yard at the southern end of the site.

The presence of this large swath of City property next to the railroad right-of-way makes a
SMART station feasible in this location. The implementation of a station would depend on
cooperation from the City in making this swath of property available to SMART in some form. The
City would also need to allow SMART patrons to share an access to a SMART parking lot with
access into their corporate yard.
A conceptual site plan has been developed for this location by ZGF, SMART's lead consultant for
station design. There are two site plan options: Option 1 is a simpler, lower cost option, while
Option 2 represents a more ideal access scenario.
With Site Plan Option 1, vehicular access would be provided only on the south side of the station
via Seed Farm Drive. Access from Rohnert Park Expressway would be restricted to bicycles and
pedestrians. Altogether, about 130 parking spaces could be provided. If a bus turnout were
constructed on Rohnert Park Expressway, Sonoma County Transit could serve this station with
local Routes 10, 12 and 14, but likely not the 44 and 48 given access constraints. This station
concept is expected to cost about $2.7M, not including soft costs and contingencies. This
estimate does not include real estate expenses related to the City of Rohnert Park's property
Site Plan Option 2 would allow for vehicular access from both Seed Farm Dr. to the south and
Rohnert Park Expressway to the north, improving access to the station. It would require signal
and roadway modifications that would allow for right turn into and left and right turns out of the
station. This station concept would also allow for about 130 parking spaces. It could be served by
Sonoma County Transit's Routes 10, 12 and 14, as well as Routes 44 and 48, given access from
Rohnert Park Expressway. This station would cost about $3.1 M, not including soft costs and
contingencies. This estimate does not include real estate expenses related to the City of Rohnert
Park's property
This alternative station would be located in the heart of Rohnert Park, and has a higher residential
density in its immediate vicinity than the Golf Course / Wilfred location. Within the half-mile radius,
this station would have a TOO Policy score of 2,898 according to MTC. The Rohnert Park
Expressway location has a more pedestrian friendly environment, given its residential densities, it
does not border a freeway, and its proximity to (within ~ mile) two different east-west bicycle
greenways. This station could have similar connecting bus, service as the Wilfred/Golf Course
Drive site. Lastly, this station is well positioned to serve the adjacent 33-acre "State Farm"
property. Should that property be redeveloped with greater employment and/or residential
densities in the future, it could have a mutually beneficial relationship with a nearby SMART
Station.
The Expressway Station site also has some disadvantages. It could have fewer parking spaces
available than the other location. It is less well positioned to capture patrons in southern Santa
Rosa neighborhoods and is close enough to Cotati that it would likely siphon a few of those
riders. The station is also tangibly more expensive overall than a station at the existing Wilfred /
Golf Course location.

Both station locations would be compatible with SMART's planned train operations. Both would
involve the use and/or acquisition of city property for parking and drop-off activities. Both could
provide an adequate amount of parking and both could have a connection to the Sonoma County
Transit bus services.
The primary advantages of Rohnert Park Expressway Station are: a location in the heart of
Rohnert Park, greater nearby residential densities, a better MTC TaD Policy score, and better
pedestrian and bike access. A station at this location could benefit from the redevelopment of the
adjacent 33-acre State Farm property or other efforts by Rohnert Park to establish a "downtown"
in the area.
The primary advantages of the existing Wilfred/Golf Course station site are: good freeway
access, an ability to serve neighborhoods south of Hwy 12 in Santa Rosa, good access to the
Northwest Specific Plan Area and proposed future casino, and a lower overall cost.
SMART's ridership modeling consultant, Dowling Associates determined that the ridership at
Rohnert Park Expressway would be about the same as the Wilfred / Golf Course Drive site,
assuming that Sonoma County Bus Connections are made at the Rohnert Park Expressway
location. In the absence of those connections, ridership at the site was estimated to be just
slightly lower, according to SMART's model.
Ultimately, however, the ridership forecast for the two sites is so close that Dowling does not
believe a decision should be made on that basis of its forecast. Its estimates rely heavily on
ABAG assumptions about future land use and demographic changes, and ABAG's assumptions
frequently change. Of more significance for determining the long term ridership is the degree to
which the City of Rohnert Park expects future land use changes and development in each station
area.
Imo/ications of Chanaina Station Sites
If ~ change in station location was made by the SMART Board before this summer (2011'), a
Rohnert Park SMART Station could still be open in 2014, at the same time as other stations in the
Initial Operating Segment. SMART would need to conduct additional CEQA work. The estimated
cost of this work, likely for an Addendum, is approximately $50,000.
SMART would also need to spend roughly $60,000 in survey, geotechnical, engineering, and
design costs in order to bring the alternative Rohnert Park Station to a 30% level, consistent with
other stations in the 10S.
As a result, moving the Rohnert Park Station would add about $600,000 to overall SMART project
costs with the simpler Option 1 site plan, and about $1 M more for the Option 2 site plan that
allows vehicular access from Rohnert Park Expressway. Neither of these include costs that may
be related to the use / acquisition of Rohnert Park's strip of property at the site.

Staff Recommendation
It is not necessary for the Committee to select a preferred Rohnert Park station location at this
time. This report is for information and is intended to satisfy the City's request for a
feasibility assessment of a SMART station near Rohnert Park Expressway. Staff recommends
that the question of the station's location be referred back to the City of Rohnert Park, with a
request that the City take up the matter again in the near term. Staff will make itself, this report,
and any other relevant information available to the City of Rohnert Park to aid its deliberation on
which station location it prefers.
Should the City request that the station be relocated, staff proposes to bring the matter back to
the Real Estate Committee for consideration at the May meeting, or the earliest possible date. In
such a circumstance, any willingness by the City of Rohnert Park to support the alternative
location could influence the Committee and SMART Board's ultimate decision. Some examples of
this support could include: a willingness to make its vacant property available for SMART's station
facilities, contribution to the additional design, CEQA or capital costs of a relocated station, or a
strong intention to ensure supportive land uses in the station area over the long term.

Attention: David Heath, Interim General Manager
RE: Rohnert Park Area Station
Dear David Heath:
At the February 8, 2011 regular City Council meeting a presentation was
given by Chris Coursey, relating to the status of the SMART Project. The
presentation sparked renewed interest in the location of the SMART Station
in Rohnert Park. .
Conversations with John Nemeth of your staff clarified that SMART was
willing and able to provide a technical feasibility study for an alternate
location if the City desired. We t!nderstand tha~ this may be beneficial to
both the City and to SMART as it could lead to' a station location in a
location with very dense housing.
Staff received additional direction from Council at the February 15,2011
meeting. Specifically, Council requested that SMART provide a feasibility
stildyfora station at the intersection ofRohnert Park Expressway and the'
rail line. It is our understanding that this study will look at access, parking,
and operation feasibility and that the study could be completed quickly
enough to proceed with an alternate location on schedule.
Pending the outcome of the feasibility study, the Council desires to keep a
station planned for Rohnert Park on SMART's project schedule.
We appreciate the flexibility and willingness of your staff to assist us in this
matter. Should you have any questions or concerns~ please do not hesitate to
contact me at (707) 588-2251.
