He reported that the state requires signs to be placed at least 500 feet apart and they could only be located in commercial and industrial areas. He further reported that nearly all major roads in Sonoma County have been designated as scenic highways and the county only allows signs in commercial and industrial areas. He advised that the ten- dency over the last few years has been to cut down on the number of billboards and felt that any more billboards in Rol-inert Park would clutter the area. Mayor Hopkins declared open the scheduled public hearing on the proposed amendment to allow outdoor advertising struc- tures (billboards) as conditional use in certain commercial and industrial districts. Mr. Harvey Burton of Ryan Outdoor Advertising appeared in support of the proposed amendment and advised that his firm supported both federal and'..state regulations which recog- nize outdoor advertising with reasonable controls, i.e. in industrial and commercial areas. Mr. Louis Beary was recognized and stated he did not believe the sign ordinance should be changed. Mr. Richard Day appeared and stated that Mr. Burton seemed to be trying to bribe the city by offering one side of the proposed new sign for advertising the city's golf course.

Mr. Dallas Gileck was recognized and expressed support for the ordinance as it now stands and expressed the view that we now have a good view of the mountains and should not clutter same.

Pile No. 0194 A brief discussion was held by the Council concerning whether New City Office or not to take the time to have Architect Lawrence Simons Building who was present make his presentation concerning the proposed new city office building. Councilman Rogers asked the audience to indicate how many had come to the meeting for the scheduled public hearing on the building.

He ad- vised that notice of the public hearing had been published and sent to many community organizations. Mayor Hopkins declared the public hearing open on the pro- posed new city office building on Commerce Boulevard. Mr. Louis Beary was recognized and spoke in opposition to the new city office building due to the city's financial position, but thought design of the building was good. He expressed the opinion that it seemed many recreational activities were being urged to become self - supporting, the new garbage contract negotiated with Redwood Empire Disposal had been ruled in violation of President Nixon's wage and price freeze, and that he believed an expenditure of this size should be put to a vote of the people. Mr. Andy Camozzi, member of the Cotati School District Board of Trustees, but speaking as a private citizen, appeared and advised that the school board had voted 3 -2 in favor of the new building and not unanimously. He further advised that he had received comments from many citizens of Cotati who felt the school board should perhaps go some other direction. Mr. Bart Mitchell, speaking as President of the Cotati School District Board of Trustees, advised that the board had gone on record as approving the new building and this was the official position. Speaking as a citizen of Rohnert Park, Mr. Mitchell expressed support for the new building saying he felt the building was badly needed because city employees were working under very crowded conditions and that on several occasions the Council Chambers had been filled to overflowing. Mr. Art Howard was recognized and questioned why the build- ing wasn't being proposed for construction on city owned land in the proposed Civic Center. City Manager Callinan* responded, explaining that this 12 acre site was too far removed from the existing residential areas and that it was being reserved for future development of a complete Civic center for the city. Mr. Louis Beary was again recognized and asked if portable buildings had been considered for use. City Manager Callinan replied in the affirmative and also commented on investigation of a second floor to the existing building, leased space in the shopping center, and leased space in the old college buildings. Councilman Smith reported that the Community Center would cost approximately $10,000 to remodel for use as a Council meeting place as opposed to $200,000 proposed for the new building. Page -8- October 4, 1971 Councilman Roberts explained that the Council had felt that use of the Community Center by the Council would have cut down on its use by the public and for various other reasons it did not seem to be an appropriate solution. Councilman Smith Councilman Smith left the Council Chambers during the dis- Leaves and Returns cussion, the time being approximately 8:35 p.m. He returned at approximately 8:37 p.m. Mr. Bill Greer was recognized and stated he felt the matter should be put to the public for a vote. Mrs. Mary Gileck was recognized and stated she thought more publicity should have been given to the public hearing so more residents would be present and suggested that use of the Community Center on such occasions should be acceptable. Mr. Roger Kreischer was recognized and expressed disapproval of the new office building. Mr. Louis Beary was again recognized and said that the pro - posed $350,000 bond issue for the golf course had turned out to be $600,000 and what guarantee would there be that $200,000 would be enough for the new building. He also said he believed the matter should be put to a vote of the people Mr. Bart Mitchell was again recognized and reminded that part of the cost would be paid by the Cotati School District, Mr. Art Howard was again recognized and questioned the $10,000 to $14,000 annual cost figure for the new building which he thought seemed conservative. Mr. Bill Willingham was recognized and asked for clarifica- tion of the proposed site for the building. City Manager Callinan explained that it was just north of Copeland Creek on the east side of Commerce.Blvd. Mr. Andy Camozzi was again recognized and pointed out that even 'if the school district does pay part of the anticipated cost, the same taxpayers support the school district and the city of Rohnert Park. Mr. Art Howard was again recognized and again questioned the annual cost figures and asked how the project would be financed: City Manager Callinan explained that the Council had not yet made a decision concerning the financing. Mr. Louis Beary again spoke saying he felt that temporary buildings should_be investigated more thoroughly and could not see justification for.expenditures for a new building When Recreation Department participants are being asked to pay higher fees for activities. Discussion followed regarding the possibility of adding an upstairs to the existing building. City Manager Callinan Page -9- October 4, 1971 reviewed the needs of city employees now working under very crowded conditions and reminded that there was no place to put new professional people such as a planner or engineer desired in the future by the Council. He suggested the matter could be put on -the ballot for a vote of the people either in a special election or in the April election. The Council decided to keep the matter under consideration and talk to as many citizens as possible before the next regular council meeting to solicit opinions. Mayor Hopkins closed the public hearing. Mayor Hopkins introduced Lawrence Simons, architect who designed the proposed building. City Manager Callinan responding to earlier comments concern ing recreation activities, pointed out that it was city policy to provide facilities and support for various pro- grams such as Boys Baseball,`Babe Ruth Baseball, Soccer, etc and to encourage individuals to run these programs rather than having them totally run by the city.

He introduced Mr. .Ned Davis, who for nine years was Manager of the Petaluma Chamber of Commerce, to answer questions. In response to a question of what a taxpayer could expect in r.-eturn for his tax dollars invested in the Cham ber of Commerce, Mr. Davis replied that it was the responsibility of an active Chamber of Commerce to bring dollars into the community and that unless the city wants to depend on the bedroom tax dollar, a fulltime person should be employed to promote location of business and industry in Rohnert Park. He noted that the City of San Leandro had lowered taxes each Page -10- October 4, 1971 year for the last 20 years as a result of Chamber of Commerce activities in attracting new business. Mr. Cummings explained that $6,200 was being requested and it was proposed that the Chamber report quarterly to the city and if the proposed duties had not been fulfilled dur- ing the preceding quarter the contract could be cancelled. Discussion followed. In response to questioning Mr. Cumming3 replied that probably a fulltime secretary and a half -time manager.would be employed initially. City Manager Callinan suggested that perhaps the proposed increase in business license fees could be allocated to the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Cummings pointed out the Chamber does.not want a donation but proposes to perform a service under contract to the city. Mrs. Mary Gileck was recognized and stated that without residents the city would be nothing. Mr. Bart Mitchell suggested that two council members meet with members of the Chamber of Commerce to work out a pro - gram. Mr. Cummings replied that he would be delighted to meet with a committee composed of Council members. Mr. Jack Eddinger, Vice President ;of the Chamber of Commerce and Manager of the Rohnert Park Branch of Exchange Bank, stated that Rohnert Park is viewed as the hub of activity in the next 10 years for population growth and believed the city should develop a program through the Chamber of Commerce before the regional shopping center is located here'a'd; also that community relations should be improved, parti- cularly with Sonoma State College, and thought the Chamber of Commerce would be one of the best places to accomplish this. Discussion followed during which it was decided that Coun- cilman Smith and Jack Buchanan would serve as the Council's committee to meet with the Chamber of Commerce representa- tives to pursue the matter. East Cotati Avenue Mayor Jack Groom and City Manager Salfen of Cotati were pre- Utility Service sent and discussed extending utility service to properties on East Cotati Avenue with the Council.
