Public citizens wishing to make a comment may do so at this time. Lbder

an item without agendizing. To ensure accurate recording, "Speaker
Cards" are provided at the entrance of the Chamber and persons
speaking under unscheduled public appearances are requested to submit
completed cards to the recording clerk.
Iry Sutley, P. O. Box 174, Glen Ellen, Ca., expressed disapproval of the traditional
annual invocation given at the beginning of this meeting. He reviewed
his reasons for this disapproval. Mr. Sutley disagreed with the
recent opinion of the Attorney General of California that public
boards have the right to begin meetings with an invocation.
For the record, Mayor Reilly read the last sentence of California
Attorney General Lungren's opinion as follows: "In light of United
States Supreme Court and California Supreme Court decisions relevant
to the question presented, we conclude that a county board of
supervisors may open its sessions with an invocation." Mayor Reilly
said he did not instruct Pastor Price regarding what to say, as
confirmed by Pastor Price, and that Pastor Price was simply exercising
his rights in freedom of speech. The Mayor concluded that, if the
Attorney General changes his opinion, then this Council may have to
change the way this issue is handled, otherwise the tradition for the
annual invocation to start the first Council meeting of the new year
will be retained.
Steven R. Thornton, P. O. Box 14181, Santa Rosa, Ca., Sonoma County Chairman of the
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), expressed his disapproval of
government sponsored prayer and thought it was unconstitutional.
Mayor Reilly referred to last year's Council meeting when this issue
was reviewed and said he recalled extending invitations to anyone
interested in talking about it to contact him, but no one did.
Tamara Sangrunetti, 1059 2nd Street, Santa Rosa, Ca., Salvation Army representative,
shared concerns related to costs incurred by the Salvation Army from
underground storage tank conditions. She reviewed the various social
services, including food distribution to approximately 100 families,

provided by the Salvation Army which would be adversely affected by
the funds required for investigation of the underground storage tank
conditions and clearance of the site. Ms. Sangrunetti referenced the
item listed later on tonight's agenda and expressed appreciation and
approval of Environmental Resource Council efforts. She requested the
cooperation of Council toward retrieval of above- reviewed funds in
order to retain the various services provided to the community by the
Salvation Army.

Scheduled Public Appearance:
Therese Horsting, 8472 LaSalle Avenue, Cotati, Ca., reviewed proposed resolution
for the future of our children including the request for the formation
of a Youth Commission. Ms. Horsting responded to Council questions
pertaining to content of the proposed resolution and confirmed efforts
were in conjunction with Councilwoman Gallagher who is on the County
Gang Task Force. Discussion included confirmation that the formation
of a Youth Commission has been previously discussed by the City
Council. Councilwoman Spiro encouraged cooperation between all groups
and efforts toward the beneficial results of helping the youth of
the community.
Councilman Eck shared comments regarding previous structure for youth
inspired by Don Kite several years ago which was very effective while
in place. He recommended having staff check into this as it may only
have to be reactivated, if it was not sunset, and the logistics might
already be in place to proceed with the desired youth commission.
Cecelia Belle, 461 High Street, Sebastopol, Executive Director of SCAYD (Sonoma
County Associates for Youth Development), reviewed numerous efforts of
SCAYD including working with the City on various programs. She said
she would like to let Therese Horsting know that they were available
to work with her efforts as well. Ms. Belle urged coordination with
current efforts.
Further discussion concluded in a above motion by Councilman
Hollingsworth, seconded by Councilwoman Spiro, and unanimously
approved, to adopt the idea in concept and agendize the proposed
resolution on the consent calendar for the next City Council meeting
regarding the future of our children including the reactivation or
development of a youth commission and to be correlated with activities
of COYF (Comnmity Outreach for Youth & Families).

pertaining to content of the proposed resolution and reviewed the
purpose of various programs mentioned therein. She confirmed her
interest in volunteering to oversee the organization of this effort
and said she specifically wanted to point out the significance of the
last sentence of the resolution that it shall not be merely rhetoric
but shall be followed up by consistent and realistic actions to
achieve the goals. She said copies of the proposed resolution were*

every city.

a) Parks and Recreation Commission (one year terms) - Mayor Reilly referred to the

this board leaving an opening for a one year term. He acknowledged

Discussion included Councilwoman Gallagher's concern related to
sunsetting the Housing Task Force and requested her comments be
submitted for the record. She felt the Housing Task Force should be
brought back because of the critical problems being faced regarding
ABAG, the State, sewer capacity, and affordable housing issues brought
up during General Plan hearings. She said the task force contributed
greatly to research and effectively provided citizens to work on
details and bring a much simpler plate to assist Council. Council
response included confirmation to Councilwoman Gallagher's concern
that any committee or Council liaison assignments can always be re-
established whenever deemed advisable by Council. Also, Councilwoman
Spiro explained the mix -up related to her attendance to the
last two Sonoma County Transportation Authority meetings. Councilman
Eck had requested Ms. Spiro to attend in his place thinking that she
was the alternate instead of Councilwoman Gallagher, as correctly
signified in the above listed liaison assignments.

Cable TV ►utters:
1. Rate Regulations for Cable Corm mications or Cable TV Systems - Assistant City
Manager Leivo explained the resolution for consideration as reviewed
in the staff report and the Council Meeting Memo. He said a public
notice had been duly noticed and scheduled at this time. Mr. Leivo
responded to various Council questions including confirmation that
adoption of the resolution gives the City of Rohnert Park the control
over rate regulations for basic cable service but is limited to
following the FCC regulations as outlined in the draft regulations
provided to Council with the above- referenced staff report.
Public Mayor Reilly opened the public hearing at approximately 7:32 p.m.

Spiro, and unanimously approved, reading of Resolution No. 94 -07 was
waived and said resolution was adopted.
2. Formation of Joint Powers Agreement for Cable TV rate regulations and consumer
protection standards - The resolution approving this agreement was
adopted by the Council in October of 1993. As an update to the
Council, as reviewed in the Council Meeting Mertes, it was verified that
the Cities of Sebastopol, Sonoma, St. Helena and Calistoga have
approved similar agreements in joining the Joint Powers Authority
(JPA). The City of Cotati and possibly the County of Sonoma are in
the process of approving similar resolutions to join the JPA.
Assistant City Manager Leivo reviewed the funding aspects related to
the budget for the JPA and said the purpose of the JPA is to hire a
cable TV consultant to assist the members with various technical
aspects of the cable TV industry, especially related to the multitude
of new laws being passed and the complexity of the issues involving
customer service. Assistant City Manager Leivo pointed out that
M.tltiVision Cable TV rates are currently frozen by previous Council
action. FCC regulations are in a chaos right now. If Council waits,
the JPA could handle the various complexities involved rather than
Council making the initial effort.

presentation to share contents of staff report provided to Council,
including comments reviewed in the Council Meeting Memo. Chief Rooney
responded to various Council questions confirming staff recommendation
that the project has been successful in many comrunities and would be
a great compliment to the programs the City currently provides to the
youth of this comnmity.
Following discussion a motion was made by Councilman Hollingsworth,
seconded by Councilwoman Spiro, and unanimously approved as recom-
mended by staff, to proceed in the direction of implementing the Drug
Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) Program in the City of Rohnert Park.
Further discussion ensued during which confirmation was given that
this item would be included on the agenda of the joint meeting with
Cotati and the School District, as well as acknowledgment from City
Manager Netter that it would also be discussed tomorrow during a
luncheon meeting with Dr. Buster, School District Superintendent. In
response to Councilwoman Gallagher's request to be the Council liaison
for this program, Council comments concluded to leave the matter with
the Public Safety Department at this point and deal with consideration
of Council liaisons at a later date.
Shannon Jordan, 525 Williams Drive, Santa Rosa, shared numerous details of her
positive experience as a former active participant of the DARE program
and current part i c i pant of the McDowe l l Drug Task Force. Though her
experience with the DARE program was in another city, she has cousins
in Rohnert Park and, because of the effectiveness of the program in
other areas, encouraged its implementation in Rohnert Park.
2. Staffing and reorganization:
City Manager Netter and Director of Public Safety Rooney shared
contents of staff report, as reviewed in the Council Meeting Memo,
pertaining to staffing and reorganization of the Department of Public
Safety. They responded to Council questions confirming staff
recommendation to convert the vacant Lieutenant's position to two

third floor of the Public Safety Facility as originally planned, was
included as part of staff review and recommendation.

as recommended by staff, the above- reviewed staffing and reorgani-
zation changes for the Department of Public Safety, were unanimously
approved.

accepted the lead in working with Sonoma County and the cities in
Sonoma County to develop an All Points Bulletin (APB) and other
related countywide protocol, and indications are that a policy and
proposal should be available by April of 1994. Staff will keep the

Planning Commission direction to re -paint the building as described.
Edwin Werden, Vice President of Lombard & Associates, Inc., shared numerous reasons
for requesting the Council's acceptance of the industrial paint colors

ledged agreement with Mr. Werden's comments. He responded to Council
questions confirming no objections to the choice of paint from the
owner of the building or customers, as signified by letters on file.
In response to concerns about the condition of the landscaping, Mr.
Lombard explained they had put in some landscaping previously but it
was not backed up with a proper watering system for maintenance. He

File No. 1585 - Laguna Apartment project for Codding Enterprises - consideration of
Draft Environmental Inpact Report for the 172 unit Laguna Apartment
project located at 325 Laguna Drive - Planning Director Skanchy shared
contents of staff report with attachments pertaining to File No. 1585,
as described herein, and advised that Elgar Hill prepared the draft
document. He responded to Council questions and advised that a public
hearing regarding this matter had been duly noticed and scheduled at
this time. Elgar Hill, Environmental Analysis and Planning, responded
to further Council questions related to contents of the referenced
draft EIR.
Public
Hearing Mayor Reilly opened the public hearing at approximately 8:57 p.m.
Linda Branscomb, 21 Anne, encouraged the Council to vote in favor of the Laguna
Apartment Project when it comes through the necessary procedures but
to include conditions as follows: 1) need affordability covenants in
the event the project is sold; 2) require a total of 10 handicapped
units in the project; 3) major landscaping should be a mitigation
measure because of lack of park space; and 4) this project should be a
prototype development for future comnuzity projects.
Timothy O'Hara, Law Office of David Spangenberg, expressed reasons for requesting
that the draft EIR be re- submitted for additional comments as follows:
1) the number of potential children in the project could exceed 17
according to the 3.1 average family size indicated; 2) some of the
responses were inadequate and some of the figures may not be correct;
Rohnert Park City Council Minutes (12) January 11, 1994
3) the issue of police response time was raised along with the seeming
abandonment of the neighborhood concept because of such needs as
pedestrian accesses and bicycle transportation provisions, giving
examples of mitigation requirements as a condition for approval of the
project; and 4) suggestion to make low income housing a firm condition
for this project with the city's limited capacity for development and
this project has a promise of providing that condition.
Planning Director Skanchy clarified that the above- referenced 3.1
figure is the actual family size for a single family, whereas the
average figure for 1 bedroom apartments is .1 or less.
Jake Mackenzie, 1536 Gladstone Way, expressed agreement with the above convents of
Linda Hranscomb encouraging the Council to approve this project. He
shared reasons for encouraging the innovative concept as the City
moves toward a proper General Plan. He personally testified on
various mitigation efforts in the past and reviewed some of those
concerns expressed in 1990 such as housing provisions for workers in
the referenced area. It seems this type of project would alleviate
some of the traffic related problems and add to the solution for
housing needs. Mr. Mackenzie further stated that he did not see this
project as an abandonment of neighborhood development but rather as a
concept that meets the needs of the area and represents the benefit of
forward thinking.
Hugh Codding of Codding Enterprises, expressed appreciation for the comments of
support. He commented that he would like to do something that Codding
Enterprises and the City could be proud of and felt this project could
do that. He referred to the possible availability of certain
affordable housing funds he had recently discussed with Assistant City
Manager Leivo and, though he has never thought about asking for any
public assistance and still does not care if they have any now, on the
other hand, if the City would be more comfortable with the conditions
and guidelines set forth in use of such funds, he would be interested
in knowing more about it. Mr. Codding further explained that this
type of housing project was recomrended 2 or 3 years ago and he would
like to see the project completed in his lifetime. In response to
Councilwoman Spiro's suggestion to designate a portion of the project
specifically for seniors when it gets to the project stage, Mr.
Codding said they could make it all for seniors, if desired.
There being no one further desiring to speak, Mayor Reilly closed the
public hearing at approximately 9:14 p.m.
Discussion followed during which Councilman Eck said he thought the
EIR gave enough information for Council to make a decision. He
referred to staff convents related to the impacts on mitigations and
recommended incorporating as part of the official resolution the
suggestions made under the response caption on page 11 of the staff
handout as follows:
"Projects should not be considered for approval until
adequate sewage treatment capacity has been assured, all
issues regarding potential adverse impacts from
wastewater discharge have been resolved to the City's
satisfaction and all necessary sewage system improvement
contracts have been executed."
Councilman Eck also recommended that the applicant take a close look
at the mitigation guarantees like low income units.

Rohnert Park City Council Minutes (15) January 11, 1994
Discussion followed during which Council comments confirmed previous
invitations from City Engineer Brust to attend the meetings with him
with preference expressed by Council not to attend such meetings but
for Mr. Brust to represent the issue from his background and
expertise. In response to an initial motion by Councilman
Hollingsworth, seconded by Councilwoman Spiro, to support Director of
Public Works /City Engineer Brust as voicing Council representation at
the meetings, Councilwoman Gallagher said she would need certain
questions answered by the City Attorney, who was absent from this
meeting, before voting in favor of the motion. Councilwoman Gallagher
said she would also like a report on City Engineer Brust's activities
with the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Further Council
comments recommended the need for Council liaison to attend the
meetings related to this issue to take the heat off of staff and to
support staff findings and recommendations in the matter.
Discussion concluded in a motion by Councilman Hollingsworth, seconded
by Councilman Eck, with Councilwoman Spiro dissenting because she
believed Council should wholly support staff and Mr. Brust's
representation of the matter, Vice Mayor Eck and Mayor Reilly were
approved as Council liaison with strong staff backup from City
Engineer Brust for the issue related to cleanup of underground storage
tanks and Environmental Resource Council (ERC) representation.
Councilman Councilman Hollingsworth left the chamber at approximately
Hollingsworth 9:37 p.m. during further discussion of the ERC issue and returned

Pimentel Property at corner of Rohnert Park Expressway & Stony Point Road -
City Manager Netter shared content of staff discussion with represen-
tatives of property owners pertaining to this item as reviewed in the
Council Meeting Memo. He responded to Council questions and further
reviewed details of the rare opportunity to purchase the property at a
reasonable price with the potential of controlling the land at its
westerly border for many years into the future. Discussion included
varied opinions related to this matter with Councilwoman Spiro
pointing out loss of city control over the land if it should end up
with the Open Space District and /or an outside party and concerns
connected with others making decisions for such closely related city
matters. Councilwoman Gallagher did not think budget constraints of
the City should include any further land purchasing considerations and
that the current list of city -owned property is already sufficient.
Comments were made regarding the need to maximize options for the City
with comparisons to General Plan concerns and precautions to making
premature presumptions related to open space or boundary designations.
Discussion concluded with general Council consensus, with the
exception of Councilmen Spiro because of above- reviewed reasons for
city ownership of the property, to proceed with comtunications with
the Open Space District regarding intentions and, if the Open Space
District is either uninterested or unable to purchase the property
because this seems to be the main desire of the citizens of Rohnert
Park for open space designation, then the matter should be brought
back to Council for further review to purchase the property.

is forever.
