Department: Department of Public Safety
Submitted By: Terri Mazzanti, Technical Services Division Manager
Prepared By: Jeff Nicks, Sergeant
Agenda Title: Acceptance of a Grant in the amount of $47,625 from the Department
of Alcoholic Beverage Control for Grant Assistance Program (GAP)
Funds
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution accepting a $47,625 grant from the California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control for Grant Assistance Program (GAP) funds.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
In March, the Department of Public Safety applied for a joint Grant Assistance Program (GAP) grant
from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control in the amount of $47,625. The grant
funding is specifically targeted to mitigate alcohol-related nuisances and crimes, target problem premises
with special emphasis on alcohol-related nuisance abatement, and reduce youth access to alcohol from
licensed premises in the cities of Rohnert Park and Cotati. Under this multi-agency grant, the Rohnert
Park Department of Public Safety will act as the administrator and will work closely with the Cotati
Police Department to effectuate the terms of the grant agreement. Acceptance of this grant will allow the
agencies to focus on conducting a multitude of programs designed to mitigate alcohol-related nuisances
and crimes such as Minor Decoy, Shoulder Tap, Trap Door, Task Force, IMPACT, Responsible Beverage
Service (RBS) Trainings, and Teenage Party Enforcement operations. Because of the specialized nature
of the grant terms, these programs are considered supplemental public safety services and are therefore
developed and implemented on an overtime basis at no cost to the general fund.
Through this ongoing collaboration with the City of Cotati via the ABC grant funding, the cities have
jointly been successful in providing education and training to businesses that sell alcohol as well as the
enforcement of alcohol-related violations. Accepting this grant will allow for continued pro-active
education to businesses and progress towards reducing the number of problems encountered by law
enforcement associated with alcohol-related issues.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
Decline the grant funding and eliminate these supplemental services (not recommended).
Accept the grant to provide pro-active education and activity on an overtime basis.

Agenda Title: Authorizing and Approving the Third Amendment to Task Order 2011-06
with Brelje & Race Consulting Civil Engineers for Design Review/Value
Engineering and Construction Management Services for Adrian Drive
Sewer and Water Rehabilitation Project No. 2012-04
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing and approving the third
amendment to Task Order 2011-06 with Brelje & Race Consulting Civil Engineers for Design
Review/Value Engineering and Construction Management Services for Adrian Drive Sewer and
Water Rehabilitation Project 2012-04.
BACKGROUND: The City entered into a Master Agreement with Brelje & Race Consulting
Civil Engineers (B&R) on for Design Professional Services on February 25, 2011, pursuant to
City Council Resolution No. 2011-13 adopted on February 22, 2011. The Master Agreement
requires separate Task Orders be authorized for specific projects, such as the proposed project.
The City approved Task Order No. 2011-06 on July 24, 2012 with B&R for Design
Review/Value Engineering and Construction Management Services for the Adrian Drive Water
and Sewer Project Phase 1 (Arlen to Santa Barbara) for $226,530. This work is complete.
The City approved Amendment 1 to Task Order 2011-06 on May 14, 2014. This amendment
authorized B&R to continue their work for Phase 2 of the Adrian Drive Water and Sewer Project
(Santa Barbara to East Cotati). This amendment authorized an additional $195,020. The City
approved Amendment 2 to Task Order 2011-06 on January 13, 2015 which authorized an
additional $48,000 due to an extended construction schedule. Amendment 2, which is included
as Attachment 1 to this staff report, brought the total contract value to $469,550. Amendment 2
anticipated the construction schedule would be extended by 33 days and that contract work
would be completed in late December or early January.
Because of weather delays and a dispute between the prime contractor and subcontractor, the
construction work was not substantially completed until February 19, 2015 and construction
management support was required until early May, when the dispute between the prime
contractor and subcontractor was resolved and a Notice of Completion was filed by the City.
This extended schedule has resulted in additional construction management costs of $44,292.50.
Staff has imposed liquidated damages of $15,000 on the prime contractor for the schedule delays
that were attributable to the prime contactor’s actions. These liquidated damages have been used
to offset the cost of extended construction management. However, because some of the schedule
delays were outside of the contractor’s control, $29,292.50 in charges cannot be attributed to
liquidated damages.
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
2
ANALYSIS: Several factors contributed to the extended schedule for the project. The
construction contractor encountered a very shallow gas main in the block of Adrian Drive
between Burton and East Cotati. The main needed to be relocated in order to allow the City
grind-out and repave Adrian Drive. B&R worked successfully with PG&E, the construction
contractor and the City to coordinate the relocation of the gas main in a manner that minimized
the disruption to the work and the cost to the City. However, the relocation impacted the project
schedule by approximately four weeks and pushed paving activities into December, when rain
and cold weather delayed substantial completion of the work until late February.
The scope and cost of construction management and inspection services are directly related to
the schedule of the project. When project schedules extend, the project inspector, in particular,
must spend more time in the field. B&R worked to manage the extended schedule by limited
inspection to only the time when work was actually taking place and coordinating with City staff
to undertake some inspection in order to reduce costs. However, B&R did spend legitimate
construction inspection and management time in January and February with a total cost of
$29,292.50. As noted above, time spend beyond substantial construction completion and related
primary to mediating a dispute between the prime contractor and subcontractor have been
covered by liquated damages imposed by the City. Staff is requesting a third amendment to
B&R’s existing task order in an amount not to exceed $29,300 to cover the legitimate extra
work.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED: None. Staff has already utilized liquated damages to cover a
portion of the additional construction management costs.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: The recommended action would have a fiscal
impact of $29,300.00. The Funding Source for the action is $29,000.00 from 523-0000-400-8541
(2005 Water COPs) to 541-1204-400-9902 (Adrian Drive Water and Sewer Rehabilitation

CITY OF ROHNERT PARK AND
BREJE & RACE CONSULTING CIVIL ENGINEERS
AUTHORIZATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW/VALUE ENGINEERING AND
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE ADRIAN DRIVE SEWER
AND WATER REHABILITATION PROJECT NO. 2012-04
This Third Amendment to Task Order No. 2011-06 (“Second Amendment”) between the City of
Rohnert Park (“City”) and BRELJE & RACE CONSULTING CIVIL ENGINEERS
(“Consultant”) for certain additional design review/value engineering and construction
management services is entered into as of the _______ day of ____________, 2015 (“Effective
Date”) by and between City and Consultant on the following terms and conditions:
SECTION 1 – RECITALS
On February 25, 2011, 2011, City and Consultant entered into a MASTER AGREEMENT for
professional services authorized through Resolution 2011-13.
The purpose of the MASTER AGREEMENT is to provide the City with access to qualified
municipal engineering service providers to augment staff resources as needed.
On August 24, 2012, the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park it Resolution No. 2012-083
retaining Consultant to provide design review/value engineering and construction management
services for the Adrian Drive Sewer and Water Rehabilitation Project Phase 1 for an amount not
to exceed $ 226,530.
On May 13, 2014, the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park it Resolution No. 2014-039
amending the Task Order to include services for the Adrian Drive Sewer and Water
Rehabilitation Project Phase 2 for an amount not to exceed $ 195,020 and bringing the total
value of services authorized by the Task Order to $421,550.
On January 13, 2015, the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park it Resolution No. 2015-008
amending the Task Order for an amount not to exceed $ 48,000 and bringing the total value of
services authorized by the Task Order to $469,550.
During the construction of the Phase 2 Project, the contractor encountered a very shallow gas
line, necessitating relocation by Pacific Gas and Electric Company and requiring that additional
time be added to the contract. This initial delay led to weather delays in finishing the project. The
addition of contract time necessitates additional inspection and construction management
services. Consultant is uniquely qualified to continue to provide inspection services because of
its history and familiarity with the project and its design.
SECTION 2 – SCOPE OF WORK
Consultant shall provide additional daily inspection and construction management services for
the Adrian Drive Sewer and Water Rehabilitation Project Phase 2.
SECTION 3 – COMPENSATION AND PAYMENT
The Consultant shall provide the additional work described in SECTION 2 on a time and
materials basis for an amount not to exceed $29,300. Total compensation under Task Order
2011-06, with this Third Amendment shall, not exceed $498,850. Payment provisions shall be in
accordance with the MASTER AGREEMENT for professional services between City and
Consultant.
SECTION 4 – TIME OF PERFORMANCE
The work described in SECTION 2 shall be completed during Fiscal Year 2015/16.
SECTION 5 – AGREEMENT IN EFFECT
Except as expressly modified by this Third Amendment, all terms and conditions contained in (a)
the MASTER AGREEMENT and (b) Task Order No. 2011-06 shall remain in full force and
effect and binding on the parties.
SECTION 6 – COUNTERPART SIGNATURES
This Third Amendment may be signed in multiple counterparts, which when signed by all
parties, shall constitute a binding amendment.
SECTION 7 – EFFECTIVE DATE.
This Third Amendment shall not become effective until the date it has been formally approved
by the City Council and executed by the appropriate authorities of the City and Consultant.
Approved this 14th day of July, 2015.

Agenda Title: Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Consultant Services Agreements
with Code Source and 4LEAF, Inc. for Professional Plan Check and Building
Inspection Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By Minute Order, authorize the City Manager to execute Consultant Services Agreements with
Code Source and 4LEAF, Inc. for professional plan check and building inspection services.
BACKGROUND:
In order to provide timely service to applicants without increasing staffing levels, Development
Services utilizes outside building inspection and plan check services to assist in managing timely
review and inspections of private development projects. Currently these projects include the
Amy’s Kitchen Restaurant, The Reserve at Dowdell, and Oxford Suites Project. Staff from
development services stays in regular contact with major project proponents in the City and
based on a recent review of anticipated building applications from the University District and
Southeast Specific Plans and the Reserve at Dowdell, inspection requests alone could generate
over $400,000 in building permit revenue in Fiscal Year 2015-16.
Development Services recently issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for Professional Plan
Check and Building Inspection Services to prepare for a projected strong surge in building
permit applications as well as to better manage an unplanned staff vacancy and the variable
nature of development review work. The City received eight proposals, of which the proposals
submitted by Code Source and 4LEAF, Inc. were determined to be among the top three.
Executing agreements with at least three consultants will help to ensure that the department
needs are met with flexible, as-needed, cost-effective building services. The City Council
approved an agreement with the third consultant, Shums Coda Associates, Inc., on June 6, 2015.
This Minute Order would provide the City Manager with the authority to execute agreements
with Code Source and 4LEAF, Inc. for not-to-exceed amounts of $500,000.00 over a two-year
contract period, which may be extended by the City Manager. The scope of services includes
building plan check review, building inspections, and Chief Building Official services on an as-
needed basis.

Dear George and Jackie,
It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of your daughter
Ashley. The recent tragedy involving the balcony collapse at the Cal Berkeley
campus that took the lives of so many bright young stars and injured so many
others, has shocked the foundation of so many of us in our Rohnert Park
community.
Although we can only imagine the terrible loss you must feel, it is our sincere
hope that you also feel some measure of comfort knowing that so many of us
here in your community are supporting you in our hearts.
In celebration of Ashley’s life and in memory of her loving soul and the
influence she had on so many lives during her short time here with us, we
want you to know that the City Council adjourned the June 23, 2015 City
Council meeting in Ashley’s honor.
Sincerely,
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK

Agenda Title: Authorizing and Approving the Producer/Distributor Agreement for Transfer of
the Rohnert Park Reuse System and Supply of Recycled Water between the City
of Santa Rosa and the City of Rohnert Park and Finding this Action Exempt
under the California Environmental Quality Act
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve a Resolution authorizing and approving the
Producer/Distributor Agreement for Transfer of the Rohnert Park Reuse System and Supply of
Recycled Water between the City of Santa Rosa and the City of Rohnert Park and finding this
action exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act.
BACKGROUND: The Rohnert Park Reuse System (System) is a non-potable water system that
supplies tertiary treated recycled water to thirty-six existing sites in the City of Rohnert Park
(Rohnert Park). User sites include a number of city parks and school play fields, the Foxtail Golf
Course, Sonoma State University and private irrigation systems at several apartment complexes
and commercial sites including the Press Democrat site and Sonoma Mountain Village. The
System supplies approximately 1,000 acre-feet of water a year that offsets demand on the City’s
water supply. The City’s Urban Water Management Plan and Municipal Code anticipate
increased use of recycled water by new development and currently the plans for the Fiori Estates,
Reserve at Dowdell and Amy’s Kitchen projects include a connection to the System. (See
Attachment 1 – Map of the Rohnert Park Reuse System)
The System is owned and operated by the Santa Rosa Subregional Water Reuse System
(Subregional System), of which Rohnert Park is a member. The City of Santa Rosa (Santa Rosa)
is the managing partner of the Subregional System and conducts all planning, design, operation
and maintenance of Subregional System Facilities in consultation with a Technical Advisory
Committee (SubTAC) that includes Rohnert Park.
The Rohnert Park Reuse System was constructed in two phases. The first phase, consisting of the
northerly low-pressure system, was constructed in the late 1980s and currently serves Robert’s
Lake Park, Robert’s Lake Park and Ride, Mountain Shadows Apartments and Foxtail Golf
Course. The second phase, consisting of the southerly high-pressure system serves all other users
and was constructed in the late 1990s. At the time it was constructed, the Rohnert Park Reuse
System provided crucial wastewater disposal capacity for the Subregional System. However,
with the development and maturation of Geysers Recharge Project in the mid to late 2000s, the
Rohnert Park Reuse System became less critical for wastewater disposal purposes.
Simultaneously, the System became an increasingly important part of Rohnert Park’s overall
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

water supply strategy. The System currently provides approximately 20% of the City’s water
supply, offsetting the use of potable water and groundwater for irrigation purposes.
The City of Santa Rosa (Santa Rosa), which operates a smaller urban reuse system within its
corporate limits, experienced the same transition, with recycled water moving from a residual to
be “disposed of” to a resource. In the mid to late 2000s, Santa Rosa implemented a policy change
with respect to recycled water and developed a “wholesaler-retailer” or “producer-distributor”
model with the Subregional System. Under this model, the Subregional System provides treated
recycled water to Santa Rosa at wholesale rates and Santa Rosa distributes the water to
customers. The Subregional System is responsible for water treatment and quality and the
wholesale transmission system. Santa Rosa is responsible for the retail distribution system,
customer management and regulatory compliance within the distribution system. This producer-
distributor relationship that Santa Rosa has modeled maximizes the strengths of both the
Subregional System and Santa Rosa’s local water utility. The Subregional System manages
water treatment and quality and delivers a marketable product to the local water utility at a
reasonable rate. The local water utility, in this case Santa Rosa, manages distribution, customer
relations and billing and use area control (e.g. controls on over watering, signage etc.). These
activities are very similar to the work already performed by the local water utility.
The proposed agreement will establish a similar producer-distributor relationship between the
Subregional System and Rohnert Park.
ANALYSIS: The proposed agreement has been developed to establish a mutually beneficial
producer-distributor relationship between the Subregional System and Rohnert Park. Highlights
of the terms are provided below.
1. The Rohnert Park Reuse System will be transferred from the Subregional System to
Rohnert Park at no cost to Rohnert Park.
2. Rohnert Park will receive a committed volume of recycled water equal to 450 million
gallons or approximately 1350 acre-feet annually, which is sufficient to serve projected
demands.
3. Rohnert Park and the Subregional System agree to arrive at a methodology for increasing
the recycled water supply commitment as Rohnert Park brings on new users and
increases flows into the Subregional System’s treatment plant.
4. The Subregional System will sell recycled water to Rohnert Park at wholesale rates.
5. The Subregional System’s wholesale rates include a lower “interruptible” rate which is
applicable to Roberts Lake, Foxtail Golf Course and Sonoma State University, which all
have onsite storage.
6. The Subregional System’s wholesale rates also include higher “uninterruptible” rate for
other customers.
7. Rohnert Park will assume responsibility for all customers within its City limits and
Sonoma State University.
8. Rohnert Park will establish retail terms, initially through user agreements that will be
transferred by the Subregional System.
3
9. Rohnert Park anticipates a “margin” of $75,000 initially, growing to $150,000 over time,
between the wholesale and retail rates. This is discussed in additional detail in the Fiscal
Impact portion of this Agenda Report.
10. Initially Rohnert Park will operate under the terms of the Subregional System’s National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) Permit. Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park will
work together to apply for coverage under the State’s General Water Recycling Order for
each of their urban reuse systems.
11. Rohnert Park will develop its own standards and user guides, permit its sites, train
customers, read all meters and bill customers.
12. Rohnert Park’s meter readings will form the basis of its wholesale bills from the
Subregional System.
13. The Subregional System will have the right to “wheel” water through the Rohnert Park
Urban Reuse System in order to provide service to other retail customers (e.g. Cotati or
southern portions of the City of Santa Rosa).
14. The agreement can be terminated at Rohnert Park’s choice or because of regulatory
restrictions that impact Rohnert Park, the Subregional System or both. If the agreement is
terminated because of Rohnert Park’s choice or a regulatory restriction unique to Rohnert
Park, the Subregional System will have the option to repossess all or portions of the
Rohnert Park Reuse System at no cost. If the agreement is terminated because of
regulatory restrictions impacting the Subregional System, Rohnert Park may retain
ownership and use of the System (for example to continue to deliver non-potable
groundwater for irrigation purposes).
The conceptual framework of this proposed “producer-distributor” agreement has been reviewed
and approved by the Rohnert Park Water Issues Committee on June 11, 2015; by the Subregional
Technical Advisory Committee on June 15, 2015 and by the Santa Rosa Board of Public Utilities
(BPU) on June 18, 2015.
The BPU contracts subcommittee is scheduled to review the draft agreement language on June
30, 2015 and the full BPU is scheduled to consider adoption on July 16, 2015.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The Rohnert Park Urban Reuse System is an existing,
operating recycled water system and existing agreements and permits provide for the use of
recycled water on all sites subject to the proposed Agreement. Approving the proposed
agreement is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under California
Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines ) Section 15301 (b)
because the agreement covers the operation, repair, maintenance, and permitting of an existing
publicly-owned utility.
Any modifications or expansions to the system will require independent environmental review
by the City of Rohnert Park.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Approve a Resolution Authorizing and Approving the Producer/Distributor Agreement
for Transfer of the Rohnert Park Reuse System and Supply of Recycled Water between
the City of Santa Rosa and the City of Rohnert Park and Finding this Action Exempt
4
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (recommended action). This option will
provide Rohnert Park with long-term control of a portion of its water supply while
allowing the Subregional System, of which Rohnert Park is a member, to focus on
increasingly complex regulations related to wastewater treatment and water quality
compliance. This division of responsibility provides the best long-term value for Rohnert
Park’s water and sewer ratepayers.
2. Do not approve the Producer/Distributor Agreement and negotiate an amendment to the
existing agreement under which the Subregional System will continue to provide the
recycled water supply in Rohnert Park. This option would limit the control that Rohnert
Park has over the recycled water supply and would result in increased costs of
approximately $30,000 annually to the general fund for the recycled water supplied to use
areas owned by Rohnert Park. This option is not recommend.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: The proposed agreement would result in new
revenue and costs for Rohnert Park. Revenue for Fiscal Year 2015-16 is estimated to be
$253,430 and the cost of purchasing recycled water at wholesale rates is estimated to be
$177,490. Additional costs associated with system include $48,933 in staff time and $25,000 in
contract services, associated with managing the system including managing regulatory
requirements. Revenues exceed costs by approximately $2,000. Because Rohnert Park will
connect new customers to the recycled water system as development proceeds, revenues are
expected to grow over time.
Expansions to the recycled water system are included in the City’s Public Facilities Finance
Plan. To date developers have constructed recycled water system expansions in Dowdell Avenue
and Rohnert Park Expressway east of Snyder Lane. An expansion in Camino Colegio and
Bodway Parkway is planned to occur with the development of the Southwest Specific Plan Area.
Cost projections are based on annual purchases of:
• Approximately 710 acre-feet at the Subregional System’s interruptible rate of $130 per
acre-foot to serve Roberts Lake, Foxtail Golf Course and Sonoma State University
• Approximately 340 acre-feet at the Subregional System’s uninterruptible rate of $254.25
per acre foot to serve the remaining customers including the school district, City
properties and private users.
Revenue projections are based on retailing the interruptible supply at $140 to $160 per acre foot
and the uninterruptible supply at 95% of potable water costs, except for water used at City sites
which would continue to be delivered at no costs. The revenue projections are consistent with the
existing user agreements between the Subregional System and each customer. As noted above,
these agreements will be assigned to Rohnert Park upon transfer. Attachment B includes more
detail on the revenue and cost projections.
If the proposed agreement is not approved, Rohnert Park’s current agreement with the
Subregional System for the City sites calls for the City to begin paying 95% of potable water
rates for recycled water in August 2015. The estimated cost of these purchases is approximately
$30,000 per year.

RESOLUTION NO. 2015-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING THE PRODUCER/DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT
FOR TRANSFER OF THE ROHNERT PARK REUSE SYSTEM AND SUPPLY OF
RECYCLED WATER BETWEEN THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA AND THE CITY OF
ROHNERT PARK AND FINDING THIS ACTION EXEMPT UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Rosa (Santa Rosa) and the City of Rohnert Park (Rohnert
Park), together with the cities of Cotati and Sebastopol and the South Park Sanitation District, are
partners in the Santa Rosa Subregional Water Recycling System (Subregional System); and
WHEREAS, Santa Rosa, in its role as managing partner for the Subregional System,
owns and operates the existing Rohnert Park Reuse System and in that capacity administers
various user agreements with customers that use recycled water produced by the Subregional
System including customers in and adjacent to Rohnert Park; and
WHEREAS, Santa Rosa, in its role as managing partner for the Subregional System has
adopted policies which encourage the Subregional System to transition from a retail purveyor of
recycled water to customers into a wholesale purveyor of recycled water to local water utilities;
and
WHEREAS, the wholesaler-retailer relationship between the Subregional System and a
local water utility has been successfully developed for the Santa Rosa Urban Reuse System; and
WHEREAS, the wholesaler-retailer relationship maximizes the strengths of both the
Subregional System and the local water utility which benefits both water and sewer ratepayers
including sewer ratepayers in Rohnert Park; and
WHEREAS, Santa Rosa, acting in its role as managing partner for the Subregional
System and Rohnert Park, have negotiated a producer-distributor agreement that will allow a
wholesale-retail relationship to be developed between the Subregional System and Rohnert Park,
for the benefit of both parties and their ratepayers;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Rohnert
Park that it makes the following determinations with regard to the Producer/Distributor
Agreement for Transfer of the Rohnert Park Reuse System and Supply of Recycled Water
between the City of Santa Rosa and the City of Rohnert Park:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and material to this Resolution;
Section 2. The City Council finds and determines that entry into the Producer/Distributor
Agreement for Transfer of the Rohnert Park Reuse System and Supply of Recycled Water
( 2 )
between the City of Santa Rosa and the City of Rohnert Park will continue the use of an existing,
operating recycled water system that is permitted to operate and serve recycled water. Entering
into the Producer/Distributor Agreement for Transfer of the Rohnert Park Reuse System and
Supply of Recycled Water between the City of Santa Rosa and the City of Rohnert Park is
exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines ) Section 15301 (b) because the
agreement covers the operation, repair, maintenance, and permitting of an publicly-owned utility.
The City Manager is authorized and directed to file a Notice of Exemption pursuant to the CEQA
guidelines.
Section 3. The City Council does hereby authorize and approve the Producer/Distributor
Agreement for Transfer of the Rohnert Park Reuse System and Supply of Recycled Water
between the City of Santa Rosa and the City of Rohnert Park.
Section 4. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to take all actions to
effectuate this agreement for and on behalf of the City of Rohnert Park, including execution, if
necessary, in substantially similar form to the agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “A,” subject
to minor modifications by the City Manager or City Attorney.
DULY AND REGULARLY ADOPTED this 14th day of July, 2015.

PRODUCER/DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT FOR TRANSFER OF THE ROHNERT PARK
URBAN REUSE SYSTEM
AND SUPPLY OF RECYCLED WATER
BETWEEN THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA AND THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
This Producer/Distributor Agreement for the Transfer of the Rohnert Park Urban Reuse System
and Supply of Recycled Water (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this ___ day of
________, 2015, by and between the City of Santa Rosa, a charter city (“Santa Rosa”) and the
City of Rohnert Park, a general law city (“Rohnert Park”). Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park may
be referred to herein individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.” This Agreement
is predicated on the following facts and intentions:
RECITALS
A. Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park are parties to the following agreements regarding the use
of the Santa Rosa Subregional Sewage System and/or the use of recycled water:
Agreement Between the City of Santa Rosa and City of Rohnert Park, City of Sebastopol,
South Park County Sanitation District for the Use of Santa Rosa Subregional Sewage
System, dated April 3, 1975, and as has been subsequently amended on September 1,
1987, October 20, 1987, December 1, 1994, July 1, 2002, and November 19, 2008
(collectively referred to herein as “Master Agreement”);
User Agreement, dated May 17, 1988 and subsequently amended on May 16, 2011 and
July 1, 2015 , for the use of recycled water for irrigation at Mountain Shadows Golf
Course (currently known as the Foxtail Golf Course);
User Agreement, dated March 28, 1995, as subsequently amended on May 28, 1996,
March 10, 2015 and June 9 2015 for the use of recycled water from Santa Rosa on
property owned by Rohnert Park, specifically: Dorotea Park, Eagle Park, Sunrise Park,
Community and Recreation Center, Rainbow Park, Colegio Vista Park, Alicia Park,
Benicia Park, Magnolia Park, Public Safety Yard, Rohnert Park Stadium, Rohnert Park
Wastewater Lift Station, Robert’s Lake Park and Rohnert Park City Hall; and
Agreement for Interim Transfer of Capacity dated September 25, 2001, as subsequently
amended on June 10, 2003.
B. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Agreement, Santa Rosa owns and
operates the Santa Rosa Subregional Sewage System, which includes the Laguna Treatment
Plant. Santa Rosa treats and disposes of all sewerage received from the parties to the Master
Agreement.
C. Sewerage (also referred to as wastewater) is treated at the Laguna Treatment Plant to
tertiary standards. The tertiary treated wastewater (also referred to as effluent, reclaimed water,
or recycled water) is then pumped to storage ponds for disposal by one of three methods: (1)
irrigation/reuse, (2) use in the Geysers Recharge Project, or (3) discharge to the Laguna de Santa
Rosa. Santa Rosa manages these three disposal methods in order to remain in regulatory
compliance independent of weather conditions.
2 of 29
D. As part of its irrigation/reuse method, Santa Rosa constructed the Rohnert Park Urban
Reuse System, defined in Section 1.23 below, which consists of a series of pumps and piping
that conveys Recycled Water to Customers, defined in Section 1.2 below, pursuant to individual
user agreements (“User Agreements”).
E. As noted above, Rohnert Park is an Existing Customer, defined in Section 1.3 below, of
the Rohnert Park Urban Reuse System pursuant to several User Agreements for use of Recycled
Water on various city sites. Other Existing Customers of the Rohnert Park Urban Reuse System
include a number of other public and private entities, that each have their own User Agreements
with Santa Rosa. The Rohnert Park Urban Reuse System currently supplies irrigation water to
its Existing Customers and provides between 340 and 400 million gallons of Recycled Water per
year for irrigation, depending on the hydrologic characteristics and irrigation demands in any
given year. The Rohnert Park Urban Reuse System can currently meet a peak irrigation demand
of up to 4,000 gallons per minute.
F. Currently, Santa Rosa owns, operates and maintains the Rohnert Park Urban Reuse
System, contracts directly with Existing Customers for the use of Recycled Water, and bills them
based on their volume of use.
G The State Water Resources Control Board adopted Resolution 2009-0011 Adoption of a
Policy for Water Quality Control for Recycled Water (“Recycled Water Policy”) promoting the
use of Recycled Water to achieve sustainable local supplies. Per the Recycled Water Policy the
State Water Resources Control Board found that when used in compliance with the Recycled
Water Policy, Title 22 and all applicable laws, Recycled Water is safe for approved uses and
strongly supports Recycled Water as a safe alternative to raw and potable water supplies for
approved uses.
H. The Parties agree that Recycled Water is a feasible alternative water supply source to
supplement potable and non-potable water demands. California Water Code section 13550
mandates the use of Recycled Water for non-potable uses if feasible and available and the Parties

14 of 29
Anticipated Applicable Laws, provided that in no event shall the addition of said New Customers
require Santa Rosa to provide Recycled Water in amounts that exceed the quantities established
in Section 3.3 of this Agreement, except as may be agreed to through the process outlined in
Section 3.3.4.
6. RECYCLED WATER PRICING AND PAYMENT.
6.1 Wholesale Pricing. The Parties agree that the rates charged by Santa Rosa to
Rohnert Park (and by Rohnert Park to its Customers) should provide an economic incentive
to use Recycled Water.
6.1.1 Wholesale Rate.
(a) Non-Interruptible Service. Santa Rosa has established the
Wholesale Recycled Water Rate - Non-Interruptible Service, based upon the Santa Rosa
Subregional System 2013 Recycled Water Pricing Policy, to be two hundred forty two dollars
($242) per acre-foot in 2013 dollars, adjusted annually consistent with the changes in
Consumer Price Index-Urban for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California area. Since
the Santa Rosa Subregional System 2013 Recycled Water Pricing Policy was adopted, annual
adjustments consistent with the changes in Consumer Price Index -Urban for the San
Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California area have resulted in a Wholesale Recycled Water
Rate - Non-Interruptible Service of two hundred fifty four dollars and twenty five cents
($254.25) per acre-foot in 2015 dollars. A copy of the Policy is attached hereto as Exhibit E
and incorporated by this reference. It is understood that Santa Rosa may amend the Policy
from time to time, which amendments shall become effective upon written notice by Santa
Rosa to Rohnert Park.
(b) Interruptible Service. Santa Rosa has established the Wholesale
Recycled Water Rate - Interruptible Service, based upon Santa Rosa Subregional System 2013
Recycled Water Pricing Policy, to be one hundred thirty dollars ($130) per acre -foot. It is
understood that Santa Rosa may amend the Policy from time to time, which amendments shall
become effective upon written notice by Santa Rosa to Rohnert Park.
6.1.2 Customer Rates. The Parties agree that Santa Rosa currently charges
Existing Customers different rates based on their individual User Agreements, pricing policies,
and nature of the use. In recognition of those distinctions, the Parties agree that the Customers’
rates shall be as follows:
(a) Non-City Managed Sites. For Existing Customers and New
Customers using Recycled Water on Non-City Managed Sites on and after the Effective Date
of this Agreement, Santa Rosa shall charge Rohnert Park one hundred percent (100%) of the
Wholesale Recycled Water Rate based on the type of service (Interruptible Service or Non-
Interruptible Service).
(b) City Managed Sites. For the term of this Agreement, the
service to City Managed Sites shall be characterized as Non-Interruptible Service. Santa Rosa
15 of 29
shall charge one hundred percent (100%) of the Wholesale Recycled Water Rate - Non-
Interruptible Service on and after August 1, 2015.
(c) Roberts Lake and Foxtail Golf Course Sites. The Parties agree
that in recognition of User Agreements that provide Recycled Water to Roberts Lake and
Foxtail Golf Course at no or low cost, and the fact that these sites are of a large size, are
serviced by a lower pressure system at off-peak times, which relieves pressure on the
distribution system, and have onsite storage, an adjustment from the full wholesale cost of
Recycled Water is appropriate. Accordingly, for the term of this Agreement, the service to
Roberts Lake and Foxtail Golf Course shall be characterized as Interruptible Service. Santa
Rosa shall charge one hundred percent (100%) of the Wholesale Recycled Water Rate -
Interruptible Service on and after August 1, 2015.
(d) Sonoma State University: The Parties agree that in recognition
of User Agreements that provide Recycled Water to Sonoma State University at low cost, and
the fact that this site is of a large size, has on -site storage, and has the ability to be interrupted
at any time which relieves pressure on the distribution system, an adjustment from the full
wholesale cost of Recycled Water is appropriate. Accordingly, for the term of this
Agreement, the service to Sonoma State shall be characterized as Interruptible Service. Santa
Rosa shall charge one hundred percent (100%) of the Wholesale Recycled Water Rate -
Interruptible Service on and after August 1, 2015.
6.2 Terms of Billing and Collection of Customers. On the Effective Date of the
Agreement, Rohnert Park shall be responsible for the billing of and collection from Existing
Customers and New Customers. Rohnert Park shall fix, prescribe, revise, and collect rates,
fees, or charges for the provision of Recycled Water services and facilities sufficient to allow
Rohnert Park to remit Wholesale Rate payments due to Santa Rosa under this Agreement.
6.3 Terms of Wholesale Billing and Payments from Rohnert Park.
6.3.1 Santa Rosa’s Wholesale Billing. On the Effective Date, Santa Rosa shall
be responsible for the wholesale billing and collection from Rohnert Park as Retailer for all
Customers.
6.3.2 Manner of Wholesale Billing. When Santa Rosa is processing wholesale
billing as provided for in Section 6.3.1, Santa Rosa shall monthly invoice in arrears Rohnert Park
for Recycled Water delivered to Customers of Rohnert Park Urban Reuse System and accepted
by Rohnert Park. The amount billed shall be based on the volume (total acre-feet of Recycled
Water recorded at the Customer flow meter(s) located on the Rohnert Park Urban Reuse System)
and the rate (Wholesale Recycled Water Rate – Interruptible Service or Wholesale Recycled
Water Rate – Non-Interruptible Service) provided for in this Agreement.
6.3.3 Rohnert Park’s Wholesale Payments. Upon receipt of an invoice from
Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park shall remit wholesale bill payments which are not disputed to Santa
Rosa within thirty (30) days following of mailing of the invoice.
16 of 29
6.3.4 Billing Disputes. If Rohnert Park disputes any of Santa Rosa’s charges,
Rohnert Park shall give written notice to Santa Rosa within ten (10) days of mailing o f the
invoice. Within ten (10) days, Santa Rosa shall render a written decision regarding the dispute,
based on reasonable evidence and any applicable legal requirements. Any amount found to be
due shall be paid within five (5) days after receipt of notice of the written decision.

Santa Rosa Subregional System 2013 Recycled Water Pricing
26 of 29
Santa Rosa Subregional System 2013 – Amendment 07/2013
RECYCLED WATER PRICING POLICY
INTRODUCTION
A pricing policy for the Santa Rosa Subregional Water Reclamation System (Subregional
System) was established in the early 1990’s which included recycled water policies and pricing
structures designed to maximize disposal. In December 2008, the Pricing Policy was revised to
recognize the value that recycled water provides as a water supply resource, and a new Recycled
Water Pricing Policy was adopted, which included policy guidelines and pricing structures that
reflect the water supply value as well as the disposal value. Continuing to recognize the water
supply and disposal value of recycled water, the Recycled Water Pricing Policy is being updated
in 2013 to recognize the flexibility that interruptible recycled water service provides to the
Subregional System as well as to index the wholesale recycled water rate for non-interruptible
service to an index that more accurately reflects the wholesale costs of recycled water.
A. POLICY ELEMENTS RELATED TO ALL RECYCLED WATER USE
1. The Subregional System benefits from the recycled water disposal capacity that urban
and agricultural use provides. Recycled water has also become an important source for
regional water supply, and communities benefit from adding recycled water to their water
supply mix, thereby reducing the dependence on potable water for the many uses which
recycled water can serve, and diversifying their water supply sources.
2. The Subregional System can provide recycled water that is more reliable than potable
water because it can be available even under conditions that cause potable water to be
limited (e.g., weather or regulatory water shortage).
3. Santa Rosa currently has numerous contracts with end users of recycled water in the
urban areas and in agriculture. Upon expiration or termination, where contracts are
renegotiated, new contract provisions should be added to reflect this policy document.
4. Recycled water pricing has historically had the goal of encouraging reuse and meeting
regulatory compliance for disposal. Recycled water has now become a valuable resource
and the rates charged for the use of recycled water, both wholesale and retail, should
reflect its value as a reliable and sustainable water resource.
B. POLICY ELEMENTS SPECIFIC TO URBAN REUSE – NON-INTERRUPTIBLE
SERVICE
1. Policies related to use of recycled water in the urban sector should be developed and
carried out by the city or utility that provides retail water service. These policies include
but are not limited to whether use will be mandatory or voluntary, which users will be
eligible to use recycled water, and discretionary design standards for end-use facilities
(such as landscape turf limits).
27 of 29
2. Previous pricing policy in the urban sector had allowed Subregional System members the
use of recycled water at no cost. In the early 1990’s when recycled water disposal was the
sole driver for urban reuse, this policy was appropriate. In 2008, with regional water
resources increasingly relying on the use of recycled water to meet future water needs,
the Subregional Pricing Policy was changed to reflect the water suppl y and disposal value
of recycled water. Non-interruptible supply provides both of these benefits and pricing
should continue to reflect this.
C. POLICY ELEMENTS SPECIFIC TO AGRICULTURAL AND URBAN REUSE –
INTERRUPTIBLE SERVICE
1. Subregional System operation requires flexibility to respond to weather conditions and
operational variables. Supply that can be interrupted in response to variables provides the
Subregional System with the benefit of operational flexibility. Pricing interruptible
supply to reflect the benefit to the Subregional System is reasonable.
2. Rates charged for water should take into consideration the relative reliability of the water
supply, the time of year it is provided to the end user, and other site-specific factors
which may affect the impact on the Subregional System to provide the water under the
conditions agreed to by the City of Santa Rosa and the end user.
D. RATE STRUCTURES
1. Urban Use
The Subregional System currently serves urban recycled water customers in the cities of
Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park, with the rates set by individual contracts or operating
agreements with each end user. Both cities have completed feasibility studies on expanding
the use of recycled water in their communities, and all or part of these expansions will likely
be built over the next decade. The Cities of Cotati and Sebastopol, and other regional
agencies may also seek to use recycled water from the Subregional System in the future.
Existing and Future Santa Rosa Urban Reuse Project – Non-Interruptible Service
The Subregional System will sell recycled water to the City of Santa Rosa water
utility for the Santa Rosa Urban Reuse Project on a wholesale basis. The City of
Santa Rosa will set retail rates and establish all end user policies. The Subregional
System will continue to provide service to the end users within the City of Santa Rosa
Urban Growth Boundary for all current contracts and operating agreements until
those agreements expire or are otherwise terminated, at which time the Santa Rosa
water utility will provide recycled water service under the conditions of this Policy
and Santa Rosa City Code.
Wholesale Recycled Water Rate for Santa Rosa Urban Reuse Project-Non-
Interruptible Service: The wholesale recycled water rate for non-interruptible
service for the Santa Rosa Urban Reuse Project was set by Santa Rosa City Council at
$225 per acre foot in 2008 dollars, adjusted annually consistent with the percent
28 of 29
changes in Sonoma County Water Agency’s wholesale water rate applicable to the
City of Santa Rosa. Sonoma County Water Agency wholesale water rates have
increased at a significantly greater rate than the costs to wholesale recycled water.
Upon review, adjusting the wholesale recycled water rate consistent with percentage
changes in the Consumer Price Index-Urban (CPI-U) for the San Francisco-Oakland-
San Jose, California area is a better index. Since 2008, adjusting the wholesale
recycled water rate annually by CPI-U would have resulted in a rate of $242. It is
recommended that the wholesale recycled water rate be set by Santa Rosa City
Council at $242 in 2013 dollars, adjusted annually consistent with the percent
changes in CPI-U for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, California area. This
wholesale rate provides greater revenue and lower net operating costs to the
Subregional System; and provides recycled water to the Santa Rosa water utility at a
rate that allows for adequate revenue from retail sales to cover the cost of operating
the recycled water distribution system.
Existing and Future Rohnert Park Urban Reuse Project – Non-Interruptible Service
The Subregional System will continue to provide recycled water service directly to
the end users in Rohnert Park until March 28, 2015. Some of the existing users have
potable water from the City of Rohnert Park as the alternate source of supply (if
recycled water were not available), and others have private wells as the alternate
source of supply.
Until March 28, 2015, when current contracts expire or are otherwise terminated, new
contracts will be negotiated with the goal of the end user paying 95% of the cost of
their alternate source of supply with the potential for a phase-in period which would
result in the end user reaching 95% of the cost of their alternate supply not later than
the end of 2013. In no case should the end user pay less than the rate in their current
contract during the phase-in period. If the alternate source of supply is potable water
from the City of Rohnert Park, the end user should also pay fixed charges by meter
size at the rate of 90% of the City of Rohnert Park potable water fixed charges.
On or after March 29, 2015, and if the Subregional System sells recycled water to the
City of Rohnert Park for the Rohnert Park Urban Reuse Project on a wholesale basis,
the City of Rohnert Park will set retail rates and establish all end user policies
consistent with a Wholesaler/Retailer Agreement for Supply of Recycled Water
Between the City of Santa Rosa and the City of Rohnert Park.
Wholesale Recycled Water Rate for Rohnert Park Urban Reuse Project- Non-
Interruptible Supply: It is recommended that the wholesale recycled water rate for
non-interruptible service for the Rohnert Park Urban Reuse Project be set by Santa
Rosa City Council at $242 per acre foot in 2013 dollars, adjusted annually consistent
with the Consumer Price Index-Urban (CPI-U) for the San Francisco-Oakland-San
Jose, California area. This wholesale rate provides greater revenue and lower net
operating costs to the Subregional System; and provides recycled water to the City of
Rohnert Park at a rate that allows for adequate revenue from retail sales to cover the
cost of operating the recycled water distribution system
29 of 29
Existing and Future Urban Reuse Projects - Interruptible Wholesale Supply
Wholesale Recycled Water Rate for Urban Reuse Projects- Interruptible Service:
Some of the existing users store recycled water on their property site and use the
stored recycled water to pressurize their irrigation system. As such, these sites can
have their service interrupted at any time and provide flexibility to the Subregional
System. In recognition of this flexibility, it is recommended that the wholesale
recycled water rate for interruptible service for the Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park
Urban Reuse Project be set by Santa Rosa City Council at $130 per acre foot in 2013
dollars.
Other Future Urban Reuse Projects
The Cities of Rohnert Park, Cotati and Sebastopol, as Subregional System agencies,
are eligible to direct a portion of the recycled water that is land applied to their
service areas for urban reuse. Regionally, other cities or special districts may also be
interested in Subregional System recycled water for urban application.
The approach to rate setting for urban reuse for other agencies will be guided by the
Policy Elements of sections A, B and C of this Policy, and will consider the specific
interests of the agency and the Subregional System as well as market conditions for
water and Subregional System costs of recycled water operations at such time as a
project is identified. Flexibility exists to tailor the specific approach to the needs and
interest of the parties involved.
A number of factors may influence the choice of institutional structure for future
urban reuse projects, which in turn will influence rates and rate structures. Operation
of a retail urban recycled water systems by the Subregional System may most
effectively meets all parties’ needs; or a wholesale/retail model may be most
appropriate; or a hybrid of these approaches may be most effective.
2. Agricultural Use
The Subregional System will continue to provide recycled water to agricultural users under
individual contracts. When current contracts expire or are otherwise terminated, any new
contracts will be in accordance with the provisions of Sections A and C of this Policy. Water
rates will continue to be determined by contract for agricultural recycled water delivery from
the Subregional System. Rates will be designed to reflect the market conditions for water and
the degree to which the use provides flexibility to the Subregional System, in accordance
with this Policy.

Meeting Date: July 14, 2015
Department: Community Services
Submitted By: John McArthur, Director Public Works and Community Services
Prepared By: Mitch Austin, Community Services Manager
Agenda Title: Proposed Recreation Facility and Activity Fee Increases and Direction
Regarding Amendment of the Recreation Facility and Program Fee
Schedule
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff is seeking City Council direction on recommended updates and amendments to the
Recreation Facility and Program Fee Schedule. The final updated and amended fee schedule
would be brought back to City Council on July 28, 2015 for public hearing and final approval if
the City Council directs to do so.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Services staff annually evaluates the fees charged for various facilities and
programs and makes recommendations for adjustments. The recommendations are based on
current market rates and actual costs to deliver services. We were faced with fiscal challenges in
2014 with the increase in California’s Minimum Wage Law. The State of California Hourly
Minimum Wage increased from $8.00 to $9.00 on July 1, 2014 and will increase again from
$9.00 to $10.00 on January 1, 2016.
Fees were adjusted in 2014 to account for most of these increases. This year’s fee schedule
attempts to make some modest increases in fees to increase cost recovery, adjust fees to
encourage rentals or program participation and some fees were added to complete the fee
schedule.
The proposed 2015 Recreation Facility and Program Fee Schedule is attached for the City
Council’s consideration and review. This schedule details current and recommended program,
facility, and event fees and specific justification for adjusting each fee. The Parks and Recreation
Commission considered the proposed Fee Schedule at their March 16, 2015 meeting and
recommend City Council approval. The Senior Advisory Committee also reviewed supports the
change of a donation for a cup of coffee to a new fee at their June 11, 2015 meeting.
PROPOSAL:
Most public recreational facilities are not fully cost-recovering and typically have some sort of
impact on the General Fund. The City Council establishes appropriate fees to help offset this
General Fund impact while still providing affordable rental and program opportunities for our
residents. The Department’s operating cost-recovery level is approximately 70% which is very

Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

high for public facilities and programs. The fee schedule is projected to generate over $20,000 in
additional revenue.
The following changes to various Recreation Facility and Program Fee Schedule are proposed
(please see the attached Exhibit A: Proposed Community Services Fee Schedule). Below is a
description of the proposed fee changes by facility and program. The Recreation Facility and
Program Fee Schedule will come back to the City Council to hold a public hearing and formally
adopt the fees.
Community Center
• Application Fee for Plaza Use - Use of the Community Center Plaza can be
administratively complex. When processing the application staff has to check schedules
of all three facilities, coordinate extra clean-up with Public Works and is often
researching special set-up or operation needs of the user such as electricity or internet
access. The fee has been adjusted to help cover staff time costs associated with
processing the application.
• Attendant Fee - This is an additional fee that will be added to rentals for 300 or more that
use the Community Center. Staff has noticed that having just one person closing large
parties creates difficulties in resetting the building for the next day’s users. Having a
second attendant will provide a better closing process and thus an enhanced experience
by all users.
• Cleaning fee for users with food/big groups - Sometimes we have users that have
activities in our rooms other than the Multi-use Room which have a significant impact on
cleanliness of the room; for example, carpet needs more attention and the restrooms often
need extra cleaning. This fee helps cover those costs.
• Whole Building Rate - This new rate was created to encourage use of the facility during
non-peak times and attract small conferences or expositions usually put on by non-profit
groups or professional affiliation groups. Other communities with similar facilities have
this kind of a fee.
• Kids Night Out (new program) fee- This is a new program proposed by staff to support
families and give kids a fun and exciting night out. This activity will take place at the
Community Center and recreation leaders will provide activities and supervision. The fee
covers the direct costs of the program.
• Alicia Park Picnic Rentals -Adjusted Picnic Rental Fees- Fees for rental of picnic areas
are Alicia Park have been adjusted down due to staff observation that rentals are not
occurring even though people are calling about the picnic areas. It is staff’s intention to
increase rented use of the picnic areas at Alicia Park. The increased rented use will help
offset costs with maintaining the park and discourage unwanted activities.
Callinan Sports & Fitness Center
• Student Fee - This is a discounted fee that has been offered to students in the past.
Sonoma State Students often use this rate in the summer and winter breaks.
• Drop-in Disabled Fee includes Seniors- Staff as a past practice has applied the Disabled
Fee to seniors as a courtesy we are memorializing this practice on our fee schedule. We
will promote this fee to seniors in the community if the fee is approved.

Callinan Sports & Fitness Center (Continued)
• This year it is projected that the Callinan Sports and Fitness Center will exceed its daily
operational costs approximately $29,800.The facility has a growing list of capital
improvements which include the replacement of the roof, siding, installation of HVAC,
new flooring in weight room and replacement of exercise equipment. It is proposed that
any net revenue above operational costs of the facility be applied to the newly established
Infrastructure Fund. The application of anticipated revenue above operational costs is
shown in attachment B.
Swimming Pools
• Swimming Lessons Fee Restructure – Swim lessons were increased extensively in 2014
and this increase has had an impact on enrollment. Swim lesson revenue is down over
10% as compared to past years. This summer we have extended lesson teaching time to
provide more value for the increased fees and we are proposing multi-lesson discounts.
This will hopefully encourage more swim lessons for existing participants.
• Birthday Parties at Pools (new program)- This is a new program for the City. It is
common for public pools to also include a birthday party package and reserved area for
the party to use. New permanent shade structures are being added to Benicia Pool and
there is a covered area at Honeybee Pool that would provide ideal spaces for birthday
parties. This program will enhance the community’s experience of the space and create a
new revenue stream to offset pool operational and maintenance costs.
• Rental Increases- Rates for private rental of the pools have been increased due to the
rising market rate for aquatic staff. Pay rates are going up for lifeguards and this use is
lifeguard intensive.
• Swim Passes- Rates have been adjusted to account for the increase in admission costs and
provide a better discount to cost recovery ratio. Also passes have been better defined and
have clear restrictions of use. This will help ensure appropriate use of passes and
collection of the fees associated with them.
Senior Center
• Coffee Fee – The Senior Citizens Advisory Committee elected in June to change the
coffee donation of .50 to a fee. They also wanted to restrict refills to two cups. In meeting
with the Coffee Bar Volunteers they indicated that tracking the two cup limitation would
be difficult and subject to possible abuse if tickets were used. Therefore, staff is
recommending that the donation be changed to a fee and that unlimited re-fills be
permitted. The donation arrangement has led to people not paying their fair share for
coffee and exhaustion of the coffee budget.
• Sunshine Bus Fees - These fees are for providing door to door service around town and
include bus service to Santa Rosa once-a-week.
Burton Avenue Recreation Center
• Attendant Fee- The facility has been accessed by renters without the oversight of staff.
This at times has led to unsatisfactory clean-up of the facility and breakage of items in the
ITEM NO. 10
4
facility. Staff is proposing to have an attendant open/close the facility for renters to
ensure proposer use and closure. The direct costs of the attendant are being passed on to
the renter.
Gold Ridge Recreation Building
• Restructured Fee categories- The fee categories have been restructured to match the other
recreational building the City rents. For example the Youth Group Non-Profit fee is now
the Non-Profit fee. Also a Commercial fee has been added to match the fee structure of
other facilities.
Ladybug Recreation Center
• Hourly Rental fees- Fees have been increased to help recoup the rising costs of staff and
maintenance.
Automatic Inflationary Rate Adjustment
It is recommended that the City adopt a mechanism for automatically adjusting fees based on
changes in general inflation, to be applied in June of each year. Specifically, staff is proposing to
adjust fees on an annual basis to account for inflation by adjusting the some or all fees to reflect
the annual change in the Consumer Price Index, as calculated by the US Bureau of Labor
Statistics for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area (Series CUURA422SA0).
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
Several options were considered for each facility. The fees proposed have the greatest revenue
generation potential to meet the needs for operations, maintenance and capital improvements of
each facility while maintaining a reasonable cost for the participants utilizing them.
Not adjusting fees as proposed at this time could lead to multiple negative consequences
including insufficient revenue to sustain current service levels and reduced program
participation.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
The proposed fees should help maintain the Department’s cost recovery rate while also
encouraging greater use of City facilities and programs.
Staff estimates that the proposals discussed above would increase operating revenue by
approximately $20,000/year. The new minimum wage law is estimated to increase our operating
costs by $15,000 (11% increase). The $20,000 in new revenue will offset this increased staffing
cost as well as some increased operational costs.
These fees are not a tax subject to the voting requirements of Proposition 26 because, taking into
account the City’s actual operations and maintenance costs, capital facility needs and market
rates for comparable facilities, it is a reasonable charge imposed for use of local government
property and confers a specific benefit directly to the payer that is not provided to those not
charged. Schedule B: Fee Increases vs. Cost of Services, demonstrates the fees do not exceed the
reasonable cost of providing the service.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
If the Council directs staff to return with a resolution to adopt the proposed fees, staff has
determined that the adoption of the fees would be exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act as this action would not considered a “project” as defined in California Code of

Meeting Date: July 14, 2015
Department: Development Services
Submitted By: Mary Grace Pawson, Acting Director of Development Services
Prepared By: Mary Grace Pawson, Acting Director of Development Services
Agenda Title: Continued PUBLIC HEARING: Proposed City of Rohnert Park Community
Facilities District No. 2015-01 (Southeast Specific Plan Services) – Consideration of Resolutions
Establishing the Community Facilities District and Certifying the Results of the Special Tax
Election and an Ordinance Levying the Special Tax.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Close the continued Public Hearing and terminate proceedings.
BACKGROUND: On April 28, 2015, the City Council opened the Public Hearing on the
Southeast Specific Plan CFD. At the applicant’s request, Council continued the public hearing
until May 26, 2015 so that staff and consultants could work with the applicant on some concerns
that the applicant had developed about the rate and method of apportionment for the special tax.
Because of ongoing concerns about the rate and method of apportionment, the public hearing
was continued again until July 14, 2015.
Staff and the applicant have still not been able to completely resolve the applicant’s concerns
around the rate and method of apportionment, specifically the exclusion of affordable housing
unit from the proposed special tax. While there has been progress in the discussions, staff
recommends terminating the proceedings at this time. New proceedings can be initiated with a
new Resolution of Intention.
Formation of the CFD is required before the City can approve the applicant’s Final Map for the
project.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED: None. Terminating the proceedings at this time is appropriate
given the unresolved issues related to the rate and method of apportionment.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: There is no fiscal impact associated with
terminating the proceedings. Future work on the proposed Community Facilities District will be
covered under the Reimbursement Agreement between the applicant and the City.
