Request to the Board of Supervisors of Sonoma County and the City
Council of Rohnert Park.
In view of the absurd and ridiculous proposals submitted lby,''.Sonoma
State College regarding what the College wants for fhe future of the
lands surrounding the institution, we;' the property owners and
residents of this area, "wish to make the following equally absurd
request to the above Boards for formal adoption as a resolution:
1 . Sonoma State College is no longer welcome to remain in our
midst. It is considered a burden, a luxury that the taxpayers
cannot afford, and, in many ways, a nuisance.
2. We believe that the College, being an institution dependent on
the producers and taxpayers of the State for its existence, has
neither moral right nor special privilege to exert any pressure on
the neighboring taxpayers and the municipality to stop the devel-
opment of housing or the creation of additional urban tax base, for
the sole purpose of enabling its members to contemplate empty hay
fields.
3. This is also a request to the State College System to stop further
construction at Sonoma State College, to stop accepting students
from other parts of the State, to start dismissing the staff, starting
with the ones who don't like new neighbors, and to use the budget
to commence demolition of its ugly buildings.
4. This area has, for many years, been slated for urban use, the sewer
and water systems have been designed to take development of these
lands regardless of the College being affected by the stop growth
kick. It seems that many students and faculty consider the College
a monastery, where its members can lead a life of contemplation and
build worlds of fantasy, with no hard, real world around them. In
that case, we gladly suggest a new site in the Antarctica or the
Himalayas.
Respectfully submitted
