SSC Sewer City Manager Callinan reviewed the proposed provisions in the
Sonoma State College sewer service agreement. Mr. Callinan then
outlined the negotiations with the College to date as follows:
Sonoma State took exception to Paragraph 5 - but this item has
been resolved. Sonoma State took exception to Paragraph 10 - and
this item has been resolved. To be discussed at this meeting was
Sonoma State's exception to Paragraph 12, regarding annexation to
Rohnert Park at the request of the City.
*_ - - Councilman V. Smith arrived at 8:30 p.m.
Mr. Burford of Sonoma State College stated that if the Sonoma
State.College site was to be annexed to the City, certain muni-
cipal services would be required.
A general discussion was held concerning the outline of services
the College feels it will require and which the City should pro-
vide the College upon annexation.
The City Council indicated that it felt that since Rohnert Park
was providing sewer service to the College that the College should
annex only to Rohnert.Park. Mr. Burford agreed and stated that
although it appears that the College will eventually annex to
Rohnert Park, that there are certain services that the College
will require and that if they can't get them from Rohnert Park,
then the College will have to look for other ways to provide them.
It was finally agreed that a clause in the contract as follows
would be acceptable to the College:
"State agrees that at such time as City provides State with
satisfactory agreements for other City services required by
the College and annexation is requested by the City, the real
property of Sonoma State College will be annexed to the City
of Rohnert Park."
Mr. Burford indicated that a clause such as this would be accept-
able to the College. The City Council, upon motion by Councilman
V. Smith, seconded by Councilman Rogers and unanimously approved,
indicated that such a clause would be acceptable to the City.
(City Attorney Maxwell's final draft of said clause reads as
follows:
12. STATE agrees that at such time as CITY can provide to
STATE assurances, satisfactory to STATE, that CITY can
Page 2 5 May 1964
furnish such municipal services as may be required for
Sonoma State College, the real property of Sonoma Stat(
College will be annexed to the City of Rohnert Park.)
With this clause agreed upon, all points of disagreement in the
proposed agreement for sewer service were resolved.
