units wit#in the purview Of the 600 figure adopted by the council
as the reasonable and acceptable number of the residenti&1 units to

on this proposed amendment be scheduled for the next regulat city
council meeting. And I also request that at that meeting the citizens
of Rohnert Park have priority in filling this chamber, not that I
desire to keep outsiders out, but I do believe that we can fill this
chamber with pur pwn people, voters who have elected yo-at and to
wbLom you are responsible, and that they should have priority in at-
tending.
Two weeks ago I said to you that it is your duty to protect the in-
terests of the people of Rohnert Park. I ask you not to forget that
now. I do not speak for the people of Marin county, who have their
own elected officials to represent them, nor for the people of Santa
Rosa, whose jobs can best be protected by you by withdrawing any
legal ojections Rohnert Park has made to the proposed Santa Rosa
urban development project, or for anyone else outside of the city
of Rohnert Park. On page 21 second paragraph eight of Resolution
77-10t it is recited that parochial attitudes exist in Marin county
and in Petaluma, each community protecting its own interests. What
else do you expect? At the community level, that is exactly what
each oommunity should do. Rohnert Park must protect its own interests,
no other community will or should, and I do believe that this council
has been remiss in that regard. As for the job situation, I under-
stand that the trouble in the building trades is that, nationally$
six million people are after three million jobs, and we certainly
cannot solve that problem at this level*
We do not need further studies, referendums, or delay of any kind
for any cause. We must have, and we demand, action now. If action
is not now taken to effectively limit growth along the lines I have
suggested; approximately fifty people will shortly be soliciting
-2®
signatures to a much more drastic growth ordinance than the one
which I have proposed, and one which, when enacted, can thereafter
be changed or amended only by a referendum. And these people will
be circulating petitions for recall, too. It is not my intention
or desire to threaten the council, I am only saying that if you do
not take effective action now, we will. So I ask you to submit the
,amendments which I have suggested to a public hearing at the co uncil
meeting two weeks hence. It will then be up th those who appear
before you tonight on this subject to see that that hearing is well
attended.
I now yield to Mrs, Helen Lawrence, who has some further comments
to make. For your attention to met I thank you very much.
City Council - May 9, 1977
As a result of my involvement in the last school bond campaign and the recent
golf course controversy, I am all too aware of just exactly how the citizens
of Rohnert Park feel regarding the rampant and uncontrolled residential growth
that is taking place in this town. The people of Rohnert Park want some realistic
restraints put on residential development and they want them now. They are not
impressed with the spineless growth management plan contained somewhere within the
seven pages of meaningless political rhetoric which comprises Resolution No. 77-10.
The i�a _-ef- -this --town -fee stro1;-J -y about the need for effective growth
g- .controlsjt school bond mesures because they fear passage of a
"'Ochool bond would be interpreted by theCouncil and the developers as a mandate
yo continue the building mania. It is unfortunate that the City Council,
through its total disregard for public opinion, has forced thecitizens into a
position where they must use our children as pawns in a political battle that
J has been waged on school grounds rather than in City Hall.
Just recently, over 700 (citizens of this tovYn signed Upetitions circulated
againstOi -oning ordinance WO. Many of those petition signers stated that
they were signing the peition because they felt it was another way of expressing
ther dissatisfaction with the City Council and with the growth policy -- or lack
of growth policy -- in this town.
The growth issue has not been settled and most certainly the problems being
caused by this uncontrolled growth are not being solved. We have a crisis
situati on in the schools. We have seware flowing into open fields. We
have the immediate need to drill emergency wells.... just to name a few.
You, as elected representatives of the citizens of this community, would be
nothing short of negligent and xZXMa Mx if you do not heed the rumblings
from without before you find that the angry crowd will no longer you give the
choice of listening to them. The present growth resolution is nothing
more than a r_ -; - tactic designed to stall any realistic settlement
of the growth iiss�eind it would behoove you to give the people of this
9 -
community an opportunity to discuss the matter in_a public session before
this Council.

PRESS RELEASE
Recent citizen comment reaction and input
concerning Rohnert Park growth
policies demand immediate attention by the Rohnert Park City Council. While
some citizens feel our current growth policies are more than adequate and
restrictive, there is a growing number of citizens who seem to disagree.
The issue ds of such paramount importance to our community that I feel
nothing less than a ballot measure and the accompanying debate and discussion
will be adequate to resolve the issue. With that in mind I will propose
that the City Council at the earliest possible time place an issue on the
ballot that asks the public as to whether the city should be more restrictive
in its growth policies or not.
LOU BEARY
Mayor
City of Rohnert Park
