ITEM NO. 5C1

Meeting Date: December 8, 2015
Department: Finance
Submitted By: Betsy Howze, Finance Director
Prepared By: Betsy Howze, Finance Director
Agenda Title: Adoption of Resolution Accepting the Development Impact Fee
Report for Fiscal Year July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution Accepting the Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year July 1, 2014
through June 30, 2015.
BACKGROUND:
In 1987 the State enacted Assembly Bill No. 1600, adding Section 66000 et seq. to the
Government Code. This law requires that any city imposing development impact fees must
report certain information each year. In accordance with this requirement, staff annually reports
to the City Council for each development impact fee collected: (a) the fee description; (b) the
amount of the fee; (c) the beginning and ending balances of each fund for which the impact fees
were collected; (d) the amount of fee collected and the corresponding interest earned; (e) the
identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amounts
expensed on each such improvement; (f) a description of any interfund transfer, loan or any
refund made for each impact fee fund. For items (a) through (f), the information for FY 2014-15
is attached for each development impact fee.
ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to Government Code Sections 66000 and following, commonly referred to as AB1600,
municipalities imposing impact fees are required to prepare an annual report within 180 days
after the close of the fiscal year. In addition, for the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit
into the account or fund, and every five years thereafter, the City is required to make certain
findings with respect to that portion of the fund which is unexpended.
To be in full compliance with State law, the City must:
1. Spend or commit development impact fees within five years of collecting them; or
2. Adopt a resolution that makes a finding that a reasonable relationship remains
between the currect need for the fees and the purpose for which they were originally
proposed.
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE REPORT
Fiscal Year July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015
Issued on November 20, 2015
State Law (Government Code Section 66006), requires each local agency that imposes AB 1600
development impact fees to prepare an annual report providing specific information about those
fees. Further, it stipulates that fees imposed on new development have the proper nexus to any
project on which they are imposed.
AB 1600 imposes certain accounting and reporting requirements with respect to the fees
collected. The fees must be segregated from the General Fund and from other funds or accounts
containing fees collected for other improvements. Each fund must earn its own interest and be
used for the same purpose as the fee collected.
The report shall be completed within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year, and made
available to the public at least 15 days in advance of the public meeting at which the report is
presented. The following information should be contained in the report:
• A description of the type fee in the account or fund.
• The amount of the fee.
• The beginning and ending balances of each fund for which the impact fees were
collected.
• The amount of fee collected and the corresponding interest earned.
• An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the
amounts expensed on each such improvement including the total percentage of the
cost of the public improvement that was funded with the fees.
• An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public
improvement will commence if the local agency determines that sufficient funds
have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement.
• A description of any interfund transfer, loan or any refund made for each impact fee
fund including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will
be expended, and in the case of an interfund loan, the date on which the loan will be
repaid and the rate of interest that the account or fund will receive on the loan.
• The amount of refunds made due to sufficient funds being collect to complete
financing on incomplete public improvements, and the amount of reallocation of
funds made due to administrative costs of refunding unexpended revenue exceeded
the amount to be refunded.

PER ACRE DEVELOPMENT FEE (Fund No. 110)
This fee was established per Resolution 79-08 and provides for the expansion of the City’s water
system, including but not limited to production, storage, distribution facilities and necessary
engineering and planning studies. The City has not programmed capital projects related to water
production, storage and distribution facilities, because there are insufficient funds collected at
this time. However, the approved land used plans and environmental documents for each
Specific Plan Area and Planned Development Area in the City require the construction of water
storage facilities. These improvements are slated for construction beginning in Fiscal Year 2016-
17. No interfund transfers or loans were made from this fund. In addition, no refunds or
allocations were made pursuant to subdivisions (e) and (f) of Government Code Section 66001.

SEWER CAPACITY CHARGE (Fund No. 120)
This fee was established per Resolution 2008-127. The fee served as the mechanism by which
the City of Rohnert Park collected from new development the funds necessary to pay for the
Incremental Recycled Water Program (IRWP) Capacity Expansion Projects that benefit new
development. The City is no longer collecting for Sewer capacity charge. This fee was
incorporated into the Public Facilities Fee on November 22, 2011. An outstanding receivable is
due in the amount of $4,426. As the receivable is collected, the funds are transferred to the Sewer
Enterprise Fund to pay for a portion of the City’s share of the expansion of the Subregional
Wastewater System Expansion debt service. No loans were made from this fund. In addition, no
refunds or allocations were made pursuant to subdivisions (e) and (f) of Government Code
Section 66001.

PUBLIC FACILITIES FEE (Fund No. 165)
This fee was updated per Resolution 2008-126 and shall be solely used for; (a) the purposes
described in the Public Facilities Finance Plan (PFFP); (b) for reimbursing the City for the
development’s fair share of those capital improvements already constructed by the City; or (c)
for reimbursing developers who have constructed public facilities described in the PFFP or other
facility master plans adopted from time to time by the City Council where those facilities were
beyond that needed to mitigate the impacts of the developer’s project or projects. All
expenditures from this fund are in the form of transfers to capital project funds.

payments that should have been made from this fund in the amount of $1,222,382.

to subdivisions (e) and (f) of Government Code Section 66001.

Resolution No. 2011‐112
ITEM NO. 5C2
1
Meeting Date: December 8, 2015
Department: Public Works and Community Services
Submitted By: Terrie Zwillinger, Project Coordinator at Public Works & Community Services
Agenda Title: Consideration of the Honeybee Pool Heater and Filter Installation Project No.
2015-24 – Finding the Project Exempt from CEQA, Approving and Adopting
the Specifications, and Awarding the Construction Contract to Gregory
Equipment, Inc.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution approving and adopting the
specifications for the Honeybee Pool Heater and Filter Installation Project No. 2015-24, finding
such action exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and accepting the bids
and awarding the construction contract for the Honeybee Pool Heater and Filter Installation
Project No. 2015-24 to Gregory Equipment, Inc. in the amount of $58,811.
BACKGROUND:
The heater and filter at the Honeybee Pool have reached the end of their useful life and are in
need of replacement. The Honeybee Pool Filter and Heater Installation Project is included and
funded in the 2015-16 Capital Improvement Program as Project No. PR-82. Staff purchased the
heater and filter through a separate bidding process and solicited bids for the installation of the
two pieces of equipment via an informal bidding process, consistent with the City’s Purchasing
Policy and the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act.
The specifications and cost estimate for the Honeybee Pool Heater and Filter Installation Project
were prepared in-house by City staff. The project includes the installation of City furnished pool
heater and filter at the Honeybee Pool, as further described below.
• Heater Installation
o Install 4-inch concrete housekeeping pad under the heater
o Provide seismic restraints
o Heater Venting – as needed to duct combustion air and effluent as required by
heater manufacturer for both intake and exhaust
o Install new intake ducting to be routed through south side of the building
o Provide flat roof cap with turned down flange, fastened to existing roof jack. New
cap to incorporate properly sized roof jack and flashing to facilitate 8 inch
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

schedule 40 PVC vent pipe and exhaust hood. Paint all sunlight exposed PVC
white.
• Filter Installation
o Install a 4-inch concrete housekeeping pad under the filters
o Provide seismic restraints
o Replace all filter plumbing with Schedule 80 PVC
o Run the pipes for the filter the same elevation as the filter
o Support manifold pipes with brackets
o Remove solar pipes and cap at the pit and ceiling
The construction estimate for this project was $55,000. Lap swim and swim hours will be
moved to Benicia Pool during construction. The swim leagues have been notified of the
upcoming work.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Rohnert Park Municipal Code Title 3, Chapter 3.04, Section 3.04.020 provides that
the City's purchasing functions shall be governed by the City's purchasing policy. An invitation
to bid was provided to the builders exchanges and interested contractors on October 22, 2015,
consistent with City of Rohnert Park Purchasing Policy Section 3.6.6F Contracts for Public
Projects which defers to the Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Procedures (UCCAP) set
forth in the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act. This project was informally bid.
This project involves replacing portions of the recirculation system associated with the heater,
filters. Because of the potential for additional portions of the system needing to be replaced once
construction begins, and the potential for unforeseen costs associated with the modification to the
existing building, staff recommends providing the City Manager authority to sign up to 15% of
the construction contract award amount in contract change orders.
The project was advertised for bid on October 22, 2015 and two pre-bid meetings were held; one
on October 28, 2015 and one on November 9, 2015. Three contractors attended the meetings.
Bid Analysis
Bids were opened on November 16, 2015 and staff received two (2) bids, as listed below:
No. Contractor Bid Amount
1 Gregory Equipment, Inc.
Redding, CA
$58,811
2 Waterworks Industries, Inc.
Windsor, CA
$71,900
Staff reviewed the bids for responsiveness and contractor responsibility. The apparent low
bidder is Gregory Equipment, Inc with a bid of $58,811.
ITEM NO. 5C2

Total Project Budget
The total recommended cost to award the construction contract to Gregory Equipment, Inc. is
$58,811. The total estimated project costs, including the previously purchased filter and heater
are as follows:
Item Amount
Construction Cost from Gregory Equipment, Inc $58,811
Total Recommended Construction Contract Award $58,811
15% Construction Contingency $8,821
Filter $27,908
Heater $26,644
Total Project Cost $122,184
Total Project Budget $175,000
Staff recommends that the City Council approve and adopt the specifications, accept the bids,
and award a contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, Gregory Equipment, Inc.
Adopting the resolution would find the project to be exempt under CEQA regulations.
Timeline
If the City Council awards the bid, construction of the project would occur between January 4
and January 22, 2016 when pool use is at its lowest.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The Project involves removal and replacement of existing equipment – a pool heater and filter -
and there will be no expansion of the existing use of the pool as a result of this work, it simply
maintains the pool in working order. Therefore, the Project is categorically exempt from the
requirements of CEQA pursuant to Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Replacement
or Reconstruction) of the CEQA Guidelines. (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15301, 15302).
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
This project was designed to replace components of the facility. If the equipment is not replaced
as soon as possible, the equipment is likely to fail leading to pool closures and/or the work will
have to be done at a time when pool use is higher. Staff does not recommend this option.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
The project is funded from FY 2015-16 Capital Improvements Project No. PR-82, Project No.
2015-24. The approved adopted budget for this project in FY 2015-16 is $175,000.

HONEYBEE POOL HEATER AND FILTER INSTALLATION PROJECT
PROJECT NO. 2015-24
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this ____ day of December, 2015, by and

hereinafter called "City".
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, the City Council of said City has awarded a contract to Contractor for
performing the work hereinafter mentioned in accordance with the sealed proposal of said
Contractor.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, as follows:
1. Scope of Work: The Contractor must perform all the work and furnish all the labor,
materials, equipment and all utility and transportation services required to complete all of the work
of construction and installation of the improvements more particularly described in the Resolution
adopted by the City Council of said City on December 8, 2015 the items and quantities of which are
more particularly set forth in the Contractor's bid therefor on file in the office of the City Clerk,
except work to be performed by subcontractors as set forth in the Contractor’s bid and for which the
Contractor retains responsibility.
2. Time of Performance and Liquidated Damages: The Contractor must begin work
within fifteen (15) calendar days after official notice by the City Engineer to proceed with the work
and must diligently prosecute the same to completion within 15 working days of that Notice,
specifically from January 4 through January 22, 2016. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees
that time is of the essence with respect to Contractor’s work and that Contractor shall diligently
pursue performance of the work.
In the event the Contractor does not complete the work within the time limit so specified or
within such further time as said City Council must have authorized, the Contractor must pay to the
City liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000 per day for each and every day's delay in finishing
the work beyond the completion date so specified. Additional provisions with regard to said time of
completion and liquidated damages are set forth in the specifications, which provisions are hereby
referred to and incorporated herein by reference.
3. Payments: Payments will be made by City to the Contractor for said work
performed at the times and in the manner provided in the specifications and at the unit prices stated
in Contractor's bid.
2
The award of the contract is for a total amount of Fifty-eight Thousand, Eight Hundred
Eleven dollars ($58,811) base bid.
4. Component Parts and Interpretation: This contract must consist of the following
documents, each of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk and all of which are incorporated
herein and made a part hereof by reference thereto:
a) This Agreement
b) Notice Inviting Proposals
c) Instruction and Information to Bidders
d) Accepted Proposal, with all attachments and certifications
e) Faithful Performance Bond
f) Labor and Material Bond
g) Special Provisions
h) Standard Specifications
i) Design Standards
In the event of conflict between these documents, the following order of precedence will
govern: this contract; change orders; supplemental agreements and approved revisions to plans
and specifications; special conditions; standard specifications; detail plans; general plans;
standard plans; reference specifications. In the absence of a controlling or contrary provision in
the foregoing, the Standard Specifications (2010 edition) of the California Department of
Transportation shall apply to this project.
5. Independent Contractor. Contractor is and will at all times remain as to
City a wholly independent contractor. Neither City nor any of its officers, employees, or agents
will have control over the conduct of Contractor or any of Contractor’s officers, employees,
agents or subcontractors, except as expressly set forth in the Contract Documents. Contractor
may not at any time or in any manner represent that it or any of its officers, employees, agents, or
subcontractors are in any manner officers, employees, agents or subcontractors of City.
6. Prevailing Wages: Copies of the determination of the Director of the
Department of Industrial Relations of the prevailing rate of per diem wages for each craft,
classification or type of worker needed to execute this Contract will be on file in, and available
at, the office of the Director at 601 Carmen Drive, Camarillo, California 93010.
Contractor must post at the work site, or if there is no regular work site then at its
principal office, for the duration of the Contract, a copy of the determination by the Director of
the Department of Industrial Relations of the specified prevailing rate of per diem wages. (Labor
Code § 1773.2.)
Contractor, and any subcontractor engaged by Contractor, may pay not less than the
specified prevailing rate of per diem wages to all workers employed in the execution of the
contract. (Labor Code § 1774.) Contractor is responsible for compliance with Labor Code
section 1776 relative to the retention and inspection of payroll records.
3
Contractor must comply with all provisions of Labor Code section 1775. Under Section
1775, Contractor may forfeit as a penalty to City up to $200.00 for each worker employed in the
execution of the Contract by Contractor or any subcontractor for each calendar day, or portion
thereof, in which the worker is paid less than the prevailing rates. Contractor may also be liable
to pay the difference between the prevailing wage rates and the amount paid to each worker for
each calendar day, or portion thereof, for which each worker was paid less than the prevailing
wage rate.
Nothing in this Contract prevents Contractor or any subcontractor from employing
properly registered apprentices in the execution of the Contract. Contractor is responsible for
compliance with Labor Code section 1777.5 for all apprenticeable occupations. This statute
requires that contractors and subcontractors must submit contract award information to the
applicable joint apprenticeship committee, must employ apprentices in apprenticeable
occupations in a ratio of not less than one hour of apprentice’s work for every five hours of labor
performed by a journeyman (unless an exception is granted under § 1777.5), must contribute to
the fund or funds in each craft or trade or a like amount to the California Apprenticeship Council,
and that contractors and subcontractors must not discriminate among otherwise qualified
employees as apprentices solely on the ground of sex, race, religion, creed, national origin,
ancestry or color. Only apprentices defined in Labor Code section 3077, who are in training
under apprenticeship standards and who have written apprentice contracts, may be employed on
public works in apprenticeable occupations.
If federal funds are used to pay for the Work, Contractor and any subcontractor agree to
comply, as applicable, with the labor and reporting requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act (40
USC § 276a-7), the Copeland Act (40 USC § 276c and 18 USC § 874), and the Contract Work
Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 USC § 327 and following).
7. Hours of Labor: Contractor acknowledges that under California Labor Code
sections 1810 and following, eight hours of labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Contractor will
forfeit as a penalty to City the sum of $25.00 for each worker employed in the execution of this
Contract by Contractor or any subcontractor for each calendar day during which such worker is
required or permitted to work more than eight hours in any one calendar day and 40 hours in any
one calendar week in violation of the provisions of Labor Code section 1810.
8. Apprentices: Attention is directed to the provisions in Sections 1777.5 (Chapter
1411, Statutes of 1968) and 1777.6 of the Labor Code concerning the employment of apprentices by
the Contractor or any Subcontractor under him.
Section 1777.5, as amended, requires the Contractor or Subcontractor employing tradesmen
in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to the joint apprenticeship committee nearest the site of
the public works project and which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a
certificate of approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen that will
be used in the performance of the Contract. The ratio of apprentices to journeymen in such cases
must not be less than one to five except:
A. When unemployment in the area of coverage by the joint apprenticeship committee
has exceeded an average of 15 percent in the 90 days prior to the request for
4
certificate, or
B. When the number of apprentices in training in that area exceeds a ratio of one to
five, or
C. When the trade can show that it is replacing at least 1/30 of its membership through
apprenticeship training on an annual basis statewide or locally, or
D. When the assignment of an apprentice to any work performed under a public works
Contract would create a condition which would jeopardize his life or the life, safety,
or property of fellow employees or the public at large, or if the specified task to
which the apprentice is to be assigned is of such a nature that training cannot be
provided by a journeyman, or
E. When the Contractor provides evidence that he employs registered apprentices on all
of his Contracts on an annual average of not less than one apprentice to eight
journeymen.
The Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established for the administration
of apprenticeship program if he employs registered apprentices or journeymen in any apprenticeable
trade on such Contracts and if other Contractors on the public works site are making such
contributions.
The Contractor and any Subcontractor under him must comply with the requirements of
Section 1777.5 and 1777.6 in the employment of apprentices.
Information relative to apprenticeship standards, wage schedules, and other requirements may be
obtained from the Director of Industrial Relations, ex officio the Administrator of Apprenticeship,
San Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices.
9. Labor Discrimination: Attention is directed to Section 1735 of the Labor Code,
which reads as follows:
"A contractor must not discriminate in the employment of persons upon
public works on any basis listed in subdivision (a) of Section 12940 of the Government
Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926 and 12926.1 of the Government Code,
except as otherwise provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code. Every
contractor for public works who violates this section is subject to all the penalties
imposed for a violation of this chapter. "
10. Workmen's Compensation Insurance: In accordance with the provisions of Article
5, Chapter 1, Part 7, Division 2 (commencing with Section 1860) and Chapter 4, Part 1, Division 4
(commencing with Section 3700) of the Labor Code of the State of California, the Contractor is
required to secure the payment of compensation to his employees and must for that purpose obtain
and keep in effect adequate Workmen's Compensation Insurance.
5
The undersigned Contractor is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code
which requires every employer to be insured against liability for workmen's compensation or to
undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code, and will comply with such
provisions before commencing the performance of the work of this contract.
11. Indemnity and Insurance: To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor must
indemnify, hold harmless, release and defend City, its officers, elected officials, employees, agents,
volunteers, and consultants from and against any and all actions, claims, demands, damages,
disability, losses, expenses including, but not limited to, attorney's fees and other defense costs and
liabilities of any nature that may be asserted by any person or entity including Contractor, in whole
or in part, arising out of Contractor’s activities hereunder, including the activities of other persons
employed or utilized by Contractor including subcontractors hired by the Contractor in the
performance of this Agreement excepting liabilities due to the active negligence of the City. This
indemnification obligation is not limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of
damages or compensation payable by or for Contractor under Worker's Compensation, disability or
other employee benefit acts or the terms, applicability or limitations of any insurance held or
provided by Contractor and must continue to bind the parties after termination/completion of this
Agreement.
Contractor shall procure and maintain throughout the time for performance of the work
under this Contract the insurance required by the Special Provisions. The requirement that
Contractor procure and maintain insurance shall in no way be construed to limit the Contractor’s
duty to indemnify City as provided in the paragraph above.
Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional
obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.
12. City Right of Termination and Right to Complete the Work. The City may
terminate the Contract when conditions encountered during the work make it impossible or
impracticable to proceed, or when the City is prevented from proceeding with the Contract by act
of God, by law, or by official action of a public authority. In addition, the occurrence of any of
the following is a default by Contractor under this Contract:
A. Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the Work or any part thereof with
such diligence as will insure its completion within the time specified or any permitted extension.
B. Contractor fails to complete the Work on time.
C. Contractor is adjudged bankrupt, or makes a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or a receiver is appointed on account of Contractor’s insolvency.
D. Contractor fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper
materials to complete the Work in the time specified.
E. Contractor fails to make prompt payment to any subcontractor or for
material or labor.
6
F. Contractor fails to abide by any applicable laws, ordinances or instructions
of City in performing the Work.
G. Contractor breaches or fails to perform any obligation or duty under the
Contract.
Upon the occurrence of a default by Contractor, the Director will serve a written notice of
default on Contractor specifying the nature of the default and the steps needed to correct the
default. Unless Contractor cures the default within 10 days after the service of such notice, or
satisfactory arrangements acceptable to City for the correction or elimination of such default are
made, as determined by City, City may thereafter terminate this Contract by serving written
notice on Contractor. In such case, Contractor will not be entitled to receive any further
payment, except for Work actually completed prior to such termination in accordance with the
provisions of the Contract Documents.
In event of any such termination, City will also immediately serve written notice of the
termination upon Contractor’s surety. The surety will have the right to take over and perform
pursuant to this Contract; provided, however, that if the surety does not give City written notice
of its intention to take over and perform this Contract within five days after service of the notice
of termination or does not commence performance within 10 days from the date of such notice,
City may take over the Work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or by any other
method it may deem advisable for the account and at the expense of Contractor. Contractor and
the surety will be liable to City for any and all excess costs or other damages incurred by City in
completing the Work.
If City takes over the Work as provided in this Section, City may, without liability for so
doing, take possession of, and utilize in completing the Work, such materials, appliances, plant,
and other property belonging to Contractor as may be on the site of the Work and necessary for
the completion of the Work.
13. Substitution of Securities for Withheld Amounts: Pursuant to California Public
Contracts Code Section 22300, securities may be substituted for any moneys withheld by a public
agency to ensure performance under a contract. At the request and sole expense of the Contractor,
securities equivalent to the amount withheld must be deposited with the public agency, or with a
state or federally chartered bank as the escrow agent, who must pay such moneys to the Contractor
upon satisfactory completion of the contract.
Securities eligible for substitution under this section must include those listed in the
California Public Contracts Code Section 22300 or bank or savings and loan certificates of
deposit. The Contractor must be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for moneys
withheld and must receive any interest thereon.
Alternatively, the Contractor may request and the City shall make payment of retentions
earned directly to the escrow agent at the expense of the Contractor. At the expense of the
Contractor, the Contractor may direct the investment of the payments into securities and the
Contractor shall receive the interest earned on the investments upon the same terms provided for
in Section 22300 for securities deposited by the Contractor. Upon satisfactory completion of the
7
Contract, the Contractor shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest, and payments
received by the escrow agent from the City, pursuant to the terms of this section.
Any escrow agreement entered into pursuant to this section must contain as a minimum the
following provisions:
a. The amount of securities to be deposited;
b. The terms and conditions of conversion to cash in case of the default of the
Contractor; and
c. The termination of the escrow upon completion of the contract.
14. General Provisions
A. Authority to Execute. Each Party represents and warrants that all
necessary action has been taken by such Party to authorize the undersigned to execute this
Contract and to bind it to the performance of its obligations.
B. Assignment. Contractor may not assign this Contract without the prior
written consent of City, which consent may be withheld in City’s sole discretion since the
experience and qualifications of Contractor were material considerations for this Contract.
C. Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon the heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and permitted assigns of the Parties.
D. Integrated Contract. This Contract, including the Contract Documents, is
the entire, complete, final and exclusive expression of the Parties with respect to the Work to be
performed under this Contract and supersedes all other agreements or understandings, whether
oral or written, between Contractor and City prior to the execution of this Contract.
E. Modification of Contract. No amendment to or modification of this
Contract will be valid unless made in writing and approved by Contractor and by the City
Council or City Manager, as applicable. The Parties agree that this requirement for written
modifications cannot be waived and that any attempted waiver will be void.
F. Counterparts, Facsimile or other Electronic Signatures. This Contract may
be executed in several counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which,
when taken together, constitute one and the same instrument. Amendments to this Contract will
be considered executed when the signature of a party is delivered by facsimile or other electronic
transmission. Such facsimile or other electronic signature will have the same effect as an
original signature.
G. Waiver. Waiver by any Party of any term, condition, or covenant of this
Contract will not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any
Party of any breach of the provisions of this Contract will not constitute a waiver of any other
provision, or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Contract.
8
Acceptance by City of any Work performed by Contractor will not constitute a waiver of any of
the provisions of this Contract.
H. Interpretation. This Contract will be interpreted, construed and governed
according to the laws of the State of California. Each party has had the opportunity to review
this Contract with legal counsel. The Contract will be construed simply, as a whole, and in
accordance with its fair meaning. It will not be interpreted strictly for or against either party.
I. Severability. If any term, condition or covenant of this Contract is
declared or determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Contract will not be affected and the Contract
will be read and construed without the invalid, void or unenforceable provision.
J. Venue. In the event of litigation between the parties, venue in state trial
courts will be in the County of Sonoma. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue
will be in the Northern District of California.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City of Rohnert Park has caused these presents to be
executed by its officers, thereunto duly authorized, and Contractor has subscribed same, all on the
day and year first above written.

Department: Administration
Submitted By: Don Schwartz, Assistant City Manager
Prepared By: Don Schwartz, Assistant City Manager
Agenda Title: Approve resolution of support for and authorize staff to send a letter from
the Mayor in support of Child Parent Institute’s grant application for
mental health and family support services for students and their families
in the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve resolution of support for and authorize staff to send a
letter from the Mayor in support of Child Parent Institute’s (CPI) grant application for the
Raising Successful Kids Programs for students and families in the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified
School District.
BACKGROUND: The Sonoma County Community Development Commission (CDC)
annually makes grants available to community-based organizations for health and human
services. City staff, in collaboration with the School District and the Child Parent Institute (a
local provider of mental health services to families) has identified the need for student mental
health assessment and treatment, parent education, and basic needs resource assistance as very
high priority for our community. The grant application process requires the endorsement of the
local jurisdiction in which the services will be provided, including a resolution at a minimum and
ideally with a letter of support.
The Child Parent Institute is submitting a grant application to the County CDC to support and
expand the Raising Successful Kids Program. The program has been providing school-based
mental health counseling since August 2014 and serves four elementary and two middle schools
in Rohnert Park. The current application is for $86,000 in FY 2016/17 with the request to be
considered for three years of funding. The grant application points to a partnership established
with the City and the Cotati-Rohnert Park School District to continue providing school-based
mental health counseling and begin offering parent education/coaching services as well as basic
needs resource assistance. This package of services are community-focused, emphasize the
strengths in families, are culturally sensitive, and have demonstrated success. This program
builds on CPI’s extensive experience providing mental health services to Sonoma County
children, serving at-risk families with parent education and coaching, and supporting families
facing overwhelming life challenges with resource assistance using a case management model.
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
ITEM NO. 5C3
2
The Raising Successful Kids Program participants are referred by school teachers and
administrators. Program staff comes into the schools to meet with the children and their parents
and assess their needs. Mental health sessions for participating students are conducted on the
school premises whenever possible. When desired, parent education and coaching will be
provided to the parents in their homes, a model which CPI has been using for years with
extremely high rates of success. If needed, resource assistance can be provided at the CPI Family
Resource Center, located on the grounds of the Technical Middle School, and can include a
broad range of support services, from short-term emergency assistance with food, rent, or utility
bill assistance to referrals for health insurance coverage or care, to assistance with household
budget making and with filling out job applications. Raising Successful Kids utilizes the best
practice of providing wrap-around family services to students with significant mental health
needs.
Great need exists in Rohnert Park for Raising Successful Kids and programs like it. The Sonoma
County Human Services Department reported that Rohnert Park has the third highest number of
child abuse allegations in the County, both in absolute terms (137 allegations made in 2012) and
in allegations per 1,000 children (16.0). According to last year’s Portrait of Sonoma County,
Section A of Rohnert Park has a Human Development Index of 3.75, significantly below the
County Index of 5.42, the state Index of 5.39, and the national Index of 5.07. This means that, on
average, residents of Section A have a lower median income, lower level of education, and
shorter life expectancy. The three schools to first host the Program are located in the A and B
sections: John Reed Primary School, Waldo Rohnert Primary School, and Technology Middle
School. Additionally, Raising Successful Kids has been serving students in University
Elementary School at La Fiesta, Monte Vista Elementary School, and Lawrence Jones Middle
School.
The staff of these schools have referred many cases of children who exhibit great need for more
support and mental health therapy in order to succeed in school and later life. These schools are
ideal springboards for the Raising Successful Kids Program to expand to all Rohnert Park
elementary and middle schools, and later to be offered throughout Sonoma County.
There are no impacts of this request on City services or finances. The City is not funding the
program; it is endorsing an application for the Sonoma County Community Development
Commission to fund the program.

social/emotional needs and would greatly benefit from mental health counseling; and

County through the Community Development Commission has funds available on a competitive
basis which could provide the needed funding support

RE: Letter Supporting Child Parent Institute’s Grant Application for Raising
Successful Kids Program
Dear Community Development Committee,
Please receive this letter and the attached resolution adopted by the City of
Rohnert Park in support of the Child Parent Institute’s application for
funding to initiate the Raising Successful Kids Program in Cotati and
Rohnert Park.
This grant application addresses the need for support for families and
children facing significant socio-economic stress as well as for children with
learning and other disabilities exacerbated by social/emotional challenges.
These needs are addressed via the collaborative efforts of CPI, the Cotati-
Rohnert Park Unified School District, and the City. The Raising Successful
Kids program focuses on Rohnert Park’s A and B sections (identified in the
Portrait of Sonoma County neighborhoods ranking amongst the lowest in
the County on the Human Development Index) and on BEST classrooms
which provide special academic support to students who need it. These
needs are substantial and out-strip the few services available in Rohnert
Park to meet them.
We appreciate your consideration of the Child Parent Institute’s grant
request.
Sincerely,
Amy Ahanotu
Mayor

Agenda Title: Endorsing and Prioritizing the City of Rohnert Park ADA Transition Plan and
Implementation Project and the Laguna Bike and Pedestrian Bridge Approach
ADA Barrier Removal for FY 2016-2017 Community Development Block
Grant Funding Application
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Consider adoption of a resolution endorsing and prioritizing funding applications for the City of
Rohnert Park ADA Transition Plan and Implementation Project and the Laguna Bike and
Pedestrian Bridge Approach ADA Barrier Removal for FY 2016-2017 Community Development
Block Grant Funding Program.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) Program was created by the federal
Housing and Community Development Acts of 1974 and 1987, with its primary objective being
the development of viable communities through the provision of decent housing, a suitable living
environment and the expansion of economic opportunities, primarily for lower income persons.
The Sonoma County Community Development Commission (“SCCDC”) is the designated local
administrative body for the CDBG Program.
All funding proposals from municipalities must be submitted to the SCCDC with city/town
council resolutions endorsing proposed projects. Staff seeks Council endorsement of two
projects: (1) the City of Rohnert Park ADA Transition Plan and Implementation Project (“ADA
Transition Plan”) and (2) the Laguna Bike and Pedestrian Bridge Approach ADA Barrier
Removal (“Laguna Bridge ADA Project”).
DISCUSSION:
ADA Transition Plan and Implementation Project
The City needs to update its ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan to guide the City in
providing adequate, barrier-free access to public services, programs and facilities. The “Self-
Evaluation” portion of the ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan addresses policies and
programs, while the “Transition Plan” deals with identification, assessment, project
development, and implementation of removal of barriers to persons with disabilities. While
primarily programmatic, the Self-Evaluation analysis and recommendations often directly shape
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

the Transition Plan projects. CDBG program funding has been utilized by eligible Sonoma
County agencies on stand-alone ADA upgrade projects, as well as multi-year, phased ADA
Transition Plan implementation, including assessments of potential project locations for barriers,
NEPA environmental clearance, project design and construction.
Staff has prepared a CDBG funding application to request $75,000 in CDBG funds for the City
of Rohnert Park ADA Transition Plan and Implementation (“ADA Transition Plan”) –
essentially the “transition plan” portion of the overall ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan
– and other pre-construction activities to prepare projects for design and construction as future
funding is available. The requested grant will specifically fund the following activities:
• Assessments of City facilities to identify architectural barriers that limit accessibility
compared to the 2013 California Building Code Chapter 11B and July 1, 2015
Supplement, 2010 Federal ADA Standards for Accessible Design, and Accessibility
Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Areas in the Architectural Barriers Act (as applicable
for outdoor spaces)
• Development of concept solutions and planning-level cost estimates for each barrier
removal project
• NEPA environmental documentation and clearance.
The ADA Transition Plan will also address barriers in the public right-of-way adjacent to schools
within City limits.
Laguna Bike and Pedestrian Bridge Approach ADA Barrier Removal Project
The Laguna Bike and Pedestrian Bridge is located along the Commerce Boulevard Bike Path
where it crosses the Laguna Channel, just west of the intersection of Old Redwood Highway,
Southwest Boulevard and Commerce Boulevard. Over the past several years, the City has
received complaints about the bridge approach, in particular, a significant “lip” that repeatedly
forms at the junction between the asphalt path and the bridge structure. It has been observed that
the path is well-traveled by persons with mobility devices such as motorized wheelchairs which
might have difficulty with the bridge approach and the uneven junction.
Staff has prepared a CDBG funding application to request $48,750 for the Laguna Bike and
Pedestrian Bridge Approach ADA Barrier Removal to remove the access barrier.
Project Endorsement and Prioritization
Obtaining an endorsement of the projects from the City Council is a requirement of the funding
application. Endorsement of the projects does not constitute an obligation to proceed with or
construct the projects should grant funding not be obtained or in sufficient amount to make the
projects feasible. The attached resolution also prioritizes the two projects, should the grant award
be insufficient to cover both funding requests. Staff recommends giving higher funding priority
for CDBG funding to the ADA Transition Plan as this project is in the City’s Strategic Plan for
completion, will identify projects for future grant funding, and is also necessary for other grant
funding compliance such as Federal transportation funds.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the resolution endorsing and prioritizing funding
applications for the ADA Transition Plan and the Laguna Bike and Pedestrian Bridge ADA
Barrier Removal for FY 2016-2017 Community Development Block Grant Funding Program.
Upon approval of the resolution, the funding application (Exhibits A and B to Resolution) will be
completed and finalized with the resolution and other required attachments and submitted by the
deadline of December 18, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Sonoma County Community Development Commission 2016-17 Funding Policies do not
require a funding match for the capital projects applications for CDBG funds. However, the
SCCDC staff has stressed that the CDBG funding is not meant to be the only funding source for
projects, and the amount of match offered by funding applicants has been a consideration in the
funding allocation process in the past.
For the ADA Transition Plan, General Fund monies are identified as the funding match. $40,000
is budgeted in the approved FY 2015-16 City Budget for the ADA Self-Evaluation and
Transition Plan. For the Laguna Bridge project, $10,000 in Gas Tax funds is identified as the
funding match, which will need to be budgeted should this project be successfully grant-funded
with CDBG monies.

ITEM NO. 5D1

Meeting Date: December 8, 2015,
Department: Development Services
Submitted By: Mary Grace Pawson, Director of Development Services
Prepared By: Mary Grace Pawson, Director of Development Services
Agenda Title: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park, Acting as
the Legislative Body of the City of Rohnert Park Community Facilities
District No. 2015-01 (Southeast Specific Plan – Services), Authorizing the
Levy of a Special Tax within the Community Facilities District .
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Rohnert
Park Acting as the Legislative Body of the City of Rohnert Park Community Facilities District
No. 2015-01 (Southeast Specific Plan – Services), Authorizing the Levy of a Special Tax within
the Community Facilities District.
BACKGROUND: The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, beginning with
Government Code Section 53311 (the “Act”), is the statutory framework that provides the
authority and describes the methodology that local agencies may use to form Community
Facilities Districts (CFDs) and levy special taxes within the boundaries of those CFDs. Under the
Act, CFDs may be used to fund the provision of certain authorized public services or
maintenance and to finance the purchase, construction, expansion, improvement or rehabilitation
of public facilities.
On November 28, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution Number 2006-276 Adopting a
Statement of Local Goals and Policies Concerning the Use of the Mello-Roos Community
Facilities Act of 1982, which is the first step in forming CFDs. The City Council updated these
local goals and policies on August 26, 2014, with Resolution Number 2014-104.
On December 14, 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance Number 832 Approving a
Development Agreement with Redwood Equities Inc. (“Developer”) for the Southeast Specific
Plan Area. This Development Agreement was amended by Ordinance Number 882 adopted on
December 9, 2014. The Development Agreement set out a specific schedule for annual services
and maintenance costs to be funded by the property within the Southeast Specific Plan Area and
made provisions for those costs to be escalated annually. Based on the schedule included in the
Development Agreement, the annual expected services and maintenance costs to be funded by
property in the Southeast Specific Plan Area is $889,527 in Fiscal Year 2015-16. Because the
CFD will require annual administration, including calculating the applicable special tax and
levying the tax with the County, the proposed CFD budget includes an allowance for
administrative costs, over and above the cost of annual services and maintenance. The total
proposed CFD budget for Fiscal Year 2015-16 is $919,480, which includes both the annual
services and maintenance costs anticipated by the Development Agreement and an allowance for
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

annual administration. Consistent with Development Agreement, the proposed CFD budget will
be escalated annually.
On January 30, 2015, the Developer filed a petition with the City requesting the formation of
CFD to fund the cost of services and maintenance.
On October 27, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution 2015-174 declaring its intent to form
a Community Facilities District based on the anticipated cost of service and an allowance for
administration. Within its Resolution of Intention, the City Council directed staff to record the
Boundary Map for the CFD, publish notice and distribute CFD ballots ahead of the November
24, 2015 Public Hearing and prepare a CFD Report.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park,

District No. 2015-01 (Southeast Specific Plan - Services), does ordain as follows:

SECTION 2. By the passage of this Ordinance, the City Council authorizes the levy of a special
tax within the Community Facilities District at the maximum rates and in accordance with the
rates and method of apportionment set forth in Exhibit C to the Resolution of Intention, which
rate and method of apportionment is incorporated by reference herein (the “Rate and Method”).
SECTION 3. The City Manager shall be responsible for annually preparing, or causing the
preparation of, the roll of special tax levy obligations by assessor’s parcel number on non-
exempt property within the Community Facilities District. The City Council or, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, the City Manager is authorized to determine the specific special taxes to
be levied on each parcel of land in the Community Facilities District, in the manner and as
provided in the Rate and Method. In connection with the foregoing, the City Manager shall take
any and all steps necessary in order to deliver to the Sonoma County Tax Collector, on or before
the date specified in Government Code Section 53340, a certified list of all parcels subject to the
special tax levy, including the amount of such tax to be levied on each parcel for the applicable

exempt from the special tax, except as otherwise provided in Sections 53317.3 and 53317.5 of
the Act and the Rate and Method. No other properties or entities are exempt from the special tax
unless the properties or entities are expressly exempted in the Rate and Method of
Apportionment, the Resolution of Formation, or in a resolution of consideration to levy a new
special tax or special taxes or to alter the Rate or Method of an existing special tax as provided in
Section 53334 of the Act.
SECTION 5. All of the collections of the special tax pursuant to the Rate and Method shall be
used as provided for in the Act and the Resolution of Formation. The special tax shall be levied
within the Community Facilities District only so long as needed for the purposes described in the
Resolution of Formation.
SECTION 6. The special tax levied pursuant to the Rate and Method shall be collected in the
same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same
penalties and the same procedure, sale and lien priority in case of delinquency as is provided for
ad valorem taxes (which such procedures include the exercise of all rights and remedies
permitted by law to make corrections, including, but not limited to, the issuance of amended or
supplemental tax bills), as such procedure may be modified by law or by the City Council from
time to time.

ITEM NO. 5E

Meeting Date: December 8, 2015
Department: Administration
Submitted By: Don Schwartz, Assistant City Manager
Prepared By: Don Schwartz, Assistant City Manager
Agenda Title: Authorize the City of Rohnert Park to join the Rotary Club of Rohnert
Park-Cotati as a Corporate Member
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the City of Rohnert Park to join the Rotary Club of
Rohnert Park-Cotati as a Corporate Member.
BACKGROUND: Building and maintaining relationships with community leaders is a core
part of the responsibilities of the City’s management team. The City Manager, Assistant City
Manager, and Department Heads meet often with their counterparts from the Cotati-Rohnert
Park Unified School District, Sonoma State University, and non-profits. The City is also a Silver
Member of the Rohnert Park Chamber of Commerce, for which we pay $2,500/year. City staff
also regularly attend monthly Chamber lunches and other events.
The Rotary Club includes numerous community and business leaders. Members of the City
management team occasionally attend Rotary meetings to make presentations on City issues; the
City is not a member of Rotary which historically has had memberships for individuals. Rotary
has created corporate memberships which allow organizations to join and share attendance
among up to four representatives.
ANALYSIS: Staff recommends that the City join the Rotary Club of Rohnert Park-Cotati to
strengthen the relationship between City staff and Rotary. Attendance at the weekly Rotary
meetings would be shared among members of the City’s Leadership Team, including the City
Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Department Heads to be designated by the City Manager.
The annual membership costs include $1,000 for dues and meals and $300-$500/year for other
expenses.
Joining the Rotary Club is consistent with the City’s Strategic Plan, particularly Goal A:
“Practice participative leadership at all levels,” and the Strategy to “Communicate with the
community and team members in identifying priorities and possibilities.” Also, joining
demonstrates commitment to the City value of communicating with the public, seeking citizen
participation, educating residents about community issues, and listening to other perspectives.
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”
