Rohnert Park City Council Minutes (3) October 22, 1996
Mayor Flores opened the meeting to public comments for unscheduled public appearances
at approximately 7:30 p.m. Various concerns were expressed by citizens as follows:
1. Dave Mochel, 4405 Hollingsworth Circle, reviewed his reasons for feeling that representatives of the
Rohnert Park Police Officers Association have over - stepped the line in the decision for
organized efforts to oppose Ballot Measure N regarding urban growth boundaries, and to
support three of the City Council candidates.
Council responses included Mayor Flores commenting on respecting the speaker's right to
his opinions and for expressing his disagreement with the issue effectively, however, the
Mayor's perspective on the matter was that the RPPOA has not been out of line because
of First Amendment rights to speak out on issues which applies to all individuals and
organizations. -- Councilwoman Gallagher expressed agreement with comments by
Mr. Mochel that officers should not be involved in efforts of these campaign issues because
of interference with work related responsibilities. -- Councilman Reilly related to his past
California Highway Patrol work experience and, even though he was on the opposite side in
some cases, clarified it is correct that as a political action group, the California Highway
Patrol has its rights and does endorse candidates and takes stands on issues and, also, has to
be careful how the work is done.
2. Jake Mackenzie, 1536 Gladstone Way, candidate for City Council, shared contents of prepared
statement contradicting recent allegations made against him by comments of certain
individuals and newspaper articles, as follows: he has not given any thought to City
Commission appointments, if he is elected to the City Council; he was not involved with the
referenced acts of vandalism; and he invited anyone interested in land use planning concerns
to contact him directly. Referencing aspects of Ballot Measure N with options beyond
boundaries and advising that he sent the City Attorney's impartial analysis to the signified
individual, Mr. Mackenzie made comparisons differing with the Press Democrat article paid
for by the RPPOA political action committee, and encouraged voters to read the ballot
measure for themselves.
3. Cindy Walsh, 4409 Glacier Court, distributed to Council copies of newspaper articles from the
1970's regarding building construction and inspection issues and made comparisons with
more recent review of similar concerns. -- Discussion included various Council comments
recalling background efforts related to this matter; acknowledgment by Mayor Flores that he
would be willing to meet with Ms. Walsh later for further discussion of this item; and
concluding in Mayor Flores' referral to the City's 1995 revised policy for building
construction inspections.
4. John Hudson, 399 Bonnie Avenue, referenced his continued concerns regarding campaign signs
located on public property. He referred to Section 556 of the Penal Code signifying it is a
misdemeanor for any person to place such signs without lawful permission and that the City
cannot extend consent to any without extending to all. He reviewed enforcement concerns
related to campaign signs on the golf course during a recent tournament, with the police
department supporting the candidate. Mr. Hudson also reviewed his concerns related to the
RPPOA's opposition to Measure N, and confirmed his support of the ballot measure.

comments at approximately 8:15 p.m.
Discussion followed which included varied Council responses on the propriety of comments
and ways to express differing political points of view. -- Councilwoman Spiro clarified, for
the record, in reference to her campaign sign on the golf course during a recent tournament,
that the opportunity was equally extended to all, that in accordance with the City's sign
ordinance requirement to obtain permission from the lessee, she did receive written
permission from American Golf to place the sign during the Boys & Girls Club tournament;
and, she also paid $100 for a tee sponsorship to the Boys & Girls Club for the tournament.

County between Willis Avenue and the Rohnert Park City Limits on the east and Dowdell
Avenue on the west; extending from 380 ft. North of Wilfred Avenue, southerly to the
Rohnert Park City Limits and Business Park Drive.
Planning Director Skanchy explained the staff report and responded to Council questions
for this item confirming the Planning Commission held a public hearing on October 10, 1996
and concluded in the 2 to 2 roll call vote failure of a motion to annex subject properties.
Staff recommends the Council deny the application without prejudice and submit the
process through the Specific Plan processes signified in the current General Plan. A public
hearing of the City Council has been duly noticed and scheduled at this time.
PUBLIC HEARING: Mayor Flores opened the public hearing at approximately 8:20 p.m.

of the property owners, reviewed reasons expressing support of the pre - zoning application

2. Linda Branscomb, 6585 Commerce Blvd. #188, asked the City Attorney how does the annexation
fee policy differ from the old policy, referencing the Specific Plan of the General Plan. City
Attorney Flitner responded that the City Council adopted the "Public Facilities Financing in
areas to be annexed" procedure (RPMC 3.28) which establishes procedures to support
existing and potential new development level of service for public facilities. This procedure
replaces the previous annexation fee assessment.
There being no one further desiring to speak, Mayor Flores closed the public hearing at
approximately 8:38 p.m.
Discussion ensued during which City Manager Netter, City Attorney Flitner and Planning
Director Skanchy responded to additional Council questions related to this pre - zoning

and approved with Councilwoman Gallagher dissenting, to deny without prejudice this
application of File No. 1725 and to initiate the General Plan process to amend the 22.3 acres
as a Specific Plan area, including proceeding with the above - referenced Specific Plan/ Public
Facilities Financing process as outlined in RPMC 3.28 and once these procedures are done,
give assistance to the applicant for the necessary procedures to submit a specific plan, then
proceed with appropriate application to LAFCO.

CHANNEL/CREEK CLEANING - Review and Update -- City Manager Netter referenced map on
display and updated the Council on the progress of this effort, including review of signified
locations as follows: Wilfred Channel to Snyder Lane and the "G" Section bottleneck has
been cleaned; referring to designated golf course area, the Water Agency will not take the
responsibility on the golf course, so the City will be working with American Golf on the
cleaning of that area; Hinebaugh Creek area has been cleaned through to Snyder Lane; on
Five Creeks, the Water Agency has cleaned the finger on the south and the City will be
cleaning the other end, with the City still making efforts to urge the Water Agency to do
more, but it will probably be next spring if that is accomplished. This signifies the cleaning
efforts for this year, prior to the rainy season, but should mitigate the problems experienced
last year. City Manager Netter responded to Council questions and, advising there should
be 2 or 3 weeks still remaining for this year's cleaning efforts, that some of the additional
areas mentioned should be -in the process of being handled.
Paul Stutrud, 712 Hudis St., referenced debris on Hinebaugh Creek that may accumulate down stream.

revised Shopping Cart Ordinance and Resolution setting fees is recommended to bring City
Municipal Code into conformance with signified sections of the California Business and
Rohnert Park City Council Minutes (7) October 22, 1996

law creates a very cumbersome effort including extensive bookkeeping procedures and that,
as a General Law City, Rohnert Park can only do what the law allows. The City Manager
complimented the effective success of current cart retrieval efforts by the main businesses in
the community, which are encouraged to continue.
