City Manager Callinan initiated a discussion regarding
letters which have been 'received `'by the City, as well as
several complaints received by the Police,,De.partment,
concerning the music noise by ice cream trucks in the City.
Councilman Eck stated that it was his feeling that when

to play their music one hour a day, excepting Sundays,
that it was for a trial basis only. In view of the recent
violations Mr. Eck opined that sufficient time had been
allowed to receive public opinion concerning the amended
ordinance.

received by the City as a result of this settlement. Mr.
Callinan commented that Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park were the

consequently receiving settlements:
Rohnert Park
Men's Club re
Golf Course
City Manager Callinan directed the Council's attention to the
letter from the Rohnert Park Men's Club regarding the
drainage channel through the golf course holes Nos. 4 and 6,
which they consider to be quite hazardous. In their letter
they suggest certain` solutions which Mr. Callinan discussed
with the Golf Pro and the' Superintendent of the goif course,
and which all agreed,were neither feasible nor realistic.
Councilman Beary suggested that perhaps building up the
tee off in this area would be helpful. Mr. Callinan stated
he would give this matter further consideration in working
out some solution to the problem. It was further suggested
by the'Council that representatives of the club could discuss
the matter with the Council's Golf Course Advisory
Subcommittee.
Unscheduled Public There was no one in the Chamber wishing to make an unschedulec
Appearances
public appearance.
Crossing Guards
Mrs, Kitty Collins of I.P.A.T.> was recognized and asked .first
on Lancaster Drive
if Mr. Callinan had a recommendation. City Manager Callinan
at Lords Manor
read that portion of his memo of September 19th concerning
Tray
Mrs. Collins' appearance before the Council.
Mrs. Collins stated she had presented her request for crossin,
guards at the Lancaster Drive and Lords Manor Way intersectioi
for LaFiesta school children to the School Board and it had
indicated there was no funding in its budget for this type
of expenditure,_ Mrs. Collins felt that this was a etangerous
crossing and asked the City to fund the hiring of a guard
for the hours of school crossing. She suggested that perhaps
a senior citizen could be hired at a rather minimal hourly
wage for this guard duty.
Councilman Flores stated that he agreed with Mrs. Collins
with regard to the crossing being hazardous, but he felt
the solution was the responsibility of the School Board.
Councilman Smith indicated that the Council was certainly
willing to help in cases where other means had been explored
and exhausted,but that he agreed with Councilman Flores in
that this was a School Board matter. Discussion followed.
Page, 3 September 22., 1975
Upon motion of Councilman Smith, seconded by Councilman Eck,
and unanimously approved, Council requested that the natter
be directed.back to the School Board since it was felt that
_thi's body was responsible for'any crossing guards for
schools.
Councilman Eck indicated that he would like to see more
documentation as.to why the School Board was unable to fund
this project,-and should it appear that the Board cannot
help, the City would be willing to look at this problem again.
Councilman Flores suggested that perhaps student guards might
be used at this crossing. Mrs. Collins stated that this
had been discussed at the meeting with the School Board and
it was felt that the crossing was too far away from the
school for proper supervision of the guards. The distance
of the crossing from the school is two blocks. Mayor Hopkins
opined that two blocks did not seem.to be a great distance
for 6th graders to be used as cross guards.
Mrs. Collins requested consideration of the City in placing
a stop sign at this intersection if they were unable.to
obtain crossing guards. The. Council stated that they would ,
have the Public Safety Department study the feasibility of
installing a stop sign, and ask Public Safety Officers to
keep an eye on this crossing area until some decision has
been made regarding this intersection.
`Mrs. Pam Niles, 541 Lorraine Ct., was recognized and
commented on the discussion with the School Board concerning
using student guards. It was generally felt that these guards
could be taken from their own classes for lengthy periods of
time and might cause some disruption of their classes coming
and going. Discussion followed.
Senior Nutrition City Manager Callinan reviewed with the Council his memo of
Program September 19th wherein he advises that the State Office of
Aging is currently considering closing the Rohnert Park site
of the nutrition program since they believe that the aged
residents in this area are:not as much in need of this
federally funded facility as other areas in the county.
Mr. Callinan introduced Mrs. Delia Vicerra of the State
Office of Aging. Mrs..Vicerra gave a report on the back
ground of the nutrition program stating that when the program
was initiated the time element was such that several sites.
were selected very quickly, with some later reflecting they
were not in high need density areas. Mrs. Vicerra stated
that emphasis must be given to minority persons and people
of low income, and close scrutiny given for evidence of
malnutrition. Mrs. Vicerra further explained that studies
have indicated that Rohnert Park is not,considered a low
income area, compared to other areas in Sonoma County. Mrs.
Vicerra stated.there will be a federally funded nutrition
grant program for Rohnert Park, however, the question of
the site,is,open, i.e., it could be.Rohnert Park or it could
be Cotati.
Page 4 September 2.2., 1975
Discussion followed with the Council, Mrs. Vicerra and City
Manager Callinan participating. The Council pointed out
to Mrs. Vicerra the active senior, citizen program in
Rohnert Park, the fact that a public bus makes a stop at
the current nutrition site in - ohnert Park,.and that more
people are able to walk to the site as it is currently
located, than if it were in Cotati.
Mrs. Vicerra thanked the Council for.the information which
they had provided her, stating it would be included in her
report. She advised the Council that the administering
agency of the nutrition program would be either the Sonoma
County People for Economic Opportunity or the State Office
on Aging; in either case she assured the Council that Rohnert
Park- Cotati would be included in the grant for the 1976 year.
The Council thanked Mrs. Vicerra for her report and presenta-
tion and requested serious consideration be given for
continuing the nutrition program as located in Rohnert Park.
