1969/03/03 City Council Resolution (3)RESOLUTION NO. 69 -19
RESOLUTION CONCERNING PROPOSED SANTA ROSA-
ROHNERT PARK CONSOLIDATION
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park has
read in the local newspaper the noble gesture by that colorful
entrepreneur and Santa Rosa Councilman, Hugh B. Codding, relative
to a consolidation of the cities of Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park; and
WHEREAS, we have noticed Santa Rosa's difficulty with a
certain downtown garage; and
WHEREAS, we have also heard of Santa Rosa's financial straits
relative to their sewage treatment facility; and
WHEREAS, we are advised that Santa Rosa is now attempting to
develop a golf course as Rohnert Park already has; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rohnert Park has considerable experience
in many of these matters; and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Rosa has always been considered
a very close friend of our community; and
WHEREAS, there has always existed a high level of cooperation
between the cities of Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park.; and
WHEREAS, when a friend is in difficulty it is not the time
to abandon them.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Rohnert Park that for the reasons mentioned above, and
doubtless countless others, this City Council pledges its full
cooperation and consideration of the consolidation proposal if
it can be shown that such a consolidation would assist Santa Rosa
to the alleviation of some of their problems.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if such a consolidation is deemed
advisable, the most expeditious manner to accomplish this might
well be a simple annexation of the City of Santa Rosa to the
City of Rohnert Park.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Rohnert Park. City Council
is prepared to meet with the Santa Rosa City Council in an appro-
priate setting, such as on Todd Road, to discuss this matter.
DULY AND REGULARLY ADOPTED THIS 3rd day of March, 1969.
