standards, not less than once each year. It also requires every city or county fire department or district
providing fire protection services that is required to enforce specified building standards to annually inspect
certain structures, including hotels, motels, lodging houses, and apartment houses, for compliance with
building standards.
Senate Bill 1205 was approved by the California State Governor on September 27, and requires every city
or county fire department, city and county fire department, or district required to perform the above-
described inspections to report annually to its administering authority, on the department’s or district’s
compliance with the above-described inspection requirements.
Senate Bill 1205 require the administering authority to acknowledge receipt of the report in a resolution or
a similar formal document.

Prepared By: Mary Grace Pawson, Director of Development Services
Agenda Title: Rescinding Approval of an Improvement Agreement and Authorizing Release
of Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds for Water Tank 8 Originally
Authorized by Resolution 2015-182
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a Resolution rescinding approval of an Improvement
Agreement and authorizing release of Performance and the Labor and Materials Bonds for Water
Tank 8 originally authorized by Resolution 2015-182.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: In 2014, the City entered into an Amended and Restated
Development Agreement (“DA”) with the University District LLC and Vast Oak Properties L.P.
to facilitate the orderly development of the area known as the University District Specific Plan
Area. The DA, among other things, directs the timing of construction of certain public
infrastructure to ensure that the infrastructure is ready to serve new development within the
Specific Plan Area.
In December 2015, with its Resolution 2015-182, the City Council authorized Improvement
Agreements for infrastructure necessary to support development for the first phase of the
University District known as Vast Oak West. The authorized agreements included:
• A Public Improvement and Fee Credit Agreement for Rohnert Park Expressway
• A Public Improvement Agreement for Twin Creeks Park
• A Public Improvement Agreement for Water Tank 8
• A Public Improvement Agreement for In-Tract and Hinebaugh Creek Trail Phase I
Landscaping.
At the time the various agreements were authorized, the University District developer posted
performance and labor and material bonds for the work, including $3,526,000 in bonds
associated with the water tank.
Subsequent to these authorizations and as documented in a Second Amendment to the DA, the
City and the Developer agreed that the City would undertake construction of the water tank using
construction drawings and funding provided by the Developer. The Developer has provided
$6,428,984 in funding for the water tank including $5,143,187 for construction and $1,285,797
for contingency. On April 24, 2017, the City awarded the construction contract for the Water
Tank 8 to Argonaut Construction and work is ongoing. While there have been some change
orders associated with the construction, the change orders have not exceeded the available
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

funding and the DA requires the Developer to continue to provide funding as necessary to
complete the tank.
As a result, the Public Improvement Agreement with the Developer is no longer necessary, as the
City’s construction contract will ensure construction of the tank. Staff recommends that the City
Council rescind approval of the Improvement Agreement for the Water Tank and authorize
release of the Performance and Labor and Material bonds back to the developer. Because the
City is constructing the water tank, neither the Improvement Agreement nor the bonds are
necessary.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This action is consistent with Strategic Plan Goal D –
Continue to Develop a Vibrant Community. Releasing the unnecessary bonds will allow the
Developer to redeploy its resources and bonding capacity to other portions of the project, which
will support build-out of the University District and an ongoing contribution to the regional
housing stock.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED: None. The recommended action is consistent with the
Development Agreement and Conditions of Approval for the University District. The City’s
construction project will ensure that Water Tank 8 is available to support buildout of the
University District.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: There is no fiscal impact to the City associated with
this action.

Meeting Date: February 26, 2019

Submitted By: Commander Aaron Johnson
Prepared By: Commander Aaron Johnson
Agenda Title: Consideration an Increase in Appropriations in the FY 2018-19 Budget by $40,000
from the State Asset Forfeiture Fund for the Purchase of Cellular Telephones for
Public Safety Patrol Officers
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to increase appropriations in the FY 2018-19 budget
by $40,000 from the State Asset Forfeiture fund for the purchase of cellular telephones.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Safety Department is tasked with the safety and security of all of those who live, work, and
visit the City of Rohnert Park. In order to provide the best service, our personnel must remain proactive
and visible to the community. Currently, the Department issues cellular phones to all command staff,
supervisors, and staff assigned to specialty positions which include COPS, Detectives and K9. The
Department does not currently provide cellular phones to our Patrol personnel who are required to make
calls to citizens who have requested a call from an officer, conduct calls regarding investigative follow-
up, or contact the dispatch center or their shift supervisors. Currently, our patrol officers are required to
respond to the Public Safety building, Fire Stations 2 or 4, or use their personnel cell phones to complete
these tasks. As a result, personnel are pulled from their assigned beat to complete their calls.
As laws continue to change regarding police officer records and transparency, as well the ability to
subpoena an officers personal cell phone and personal cell phone records, (State of New Mexico v. Marty
Ortiz)1, if it is determined to been used during the course of employment, it is becoming more important
to issue cell phones to the officers for use while on duty and in their official capacity.
In addition, we ask officers to provide some sort of “text” receivable device in order to provide the
Department the ability to alert them to a critical incident or notification from the agency requesting
assistance. Although Department Policy does not require the officer leave their personal device on and
operational, we do require some sort of method for notification.
Recently our staff signed declarations acknowledging their duty as a disaster service worker. In order to
be called in to work in this capacity, it is imperative the agency be able to contact the employee in a rapid
manner such as a mass text message to staff.

…officers must understand that if they choose to utilize non-department issued communication devices to conduct their law enforcement duties
those devices and their records may be up for review when defense attorneys come knocking on the discovery door. A police officer’s privacy
interests may take a back seat when a defense attorney makes a convincing case as to the need for such information…

We have also began the implementation of an application (app) based scheduling software in order to
make requesting time off and accepting shifts much more efficient for the staff. This app will also assist
the Department in general schedule maintenance due to real-time data input into the scheduling software.
The app cannot be loaded onto personal devices without an additional cost to the employee.
The Department currently spends $150 per officer for a camera to be used to take evidentiary photographs
which requires our personnel to again return to the Public Safety Station to upload the photographs into
the evidence system. By issuing a Department owned cellular phone, our personnel can use the cellular
phone to take evidentiary photographs and upload those photographs into evidence from the field. This
will help our personnel be more efficient and will eliminate the need to purchase cameras and docking
stations.
ANALYSIS:
The Department currently issues 27 cellular phones to supervisors and members of specialty units. In
light of recent case law as well as operational efficiency, it is recommended we purchase an additional 54
phones to provide a cellular device to all PSO’S, CSO’S, Fire Prevention and Supervisors. These phones
will provide an additional level of customer service to our community based on the staff member being
able to readily contact members of the community from the field and will increase their availability and
response to calls for service.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
Per the City of Rohnert Park Strategic Plan,
Goal C, Section C-3, 3. – Ensure the Effective Delivery of Public Services, Integrate Technology Into
Operations.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended Option: Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the
City Manager, or his designee, to increase appropriations in the FY 2018-19 budget by $40,000
from the State Asset Forfeiture fund for the purchase of cellular phones.
2. Alternative: Staff also considered continuing current department procedure of issuing cellular
phones to a limited number of employees, however this is not recommended for the reasons sated
above.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
The cost of the aforementioned project is estimated to be $40,000. The State Asset Forfeiture Fund (Fund
106) will be used to purchase the equipment and initial data plan. The ongoing annual cost will be
approximately $32,400. This will be added to the Public Safety Department budget which is supported
primarily by the General Fund.

Submitted By: Mike Bates, Commander
Prepared By: Mike Bates, Commander
Agenda Title: Introduction of Ordinance -Consideration of Changes to Chapter 8.34 Use
Permits for Alcoholic Beverage Establishments of the Rohnert Park
Municipal Code and Adoption of New Permit Fee Sliding Scale and Fines
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the amendments to Rohnert Park Municipal Code Chapter 8.34 regarding addition of
alcohol service license types and definitions (8.34.010), establishment of an application fee as
outlined in 8.34.050, updated appeal process (8.34.080), enhanced training requirements to
mandate in-person only (8.34.140), addition of failure to meet training requirements can be cause
for revocation of use permit (8.34.210), removal of calls for service as part of the permit fee
sliding scale found in 8.34.150, to instead require that permit fees offset the total regulatory costs
of enforcement, City Council Report to coincide with calendar year and be presented in March
(8.34.190), and enhanced language as it pertains to appeals process for revocation (8.34.230).
Upon adoption of the ordinance, adopt a resolution to institute a $250 administrative fine for:
employers who do not comply with the provisions as outlined in 8.34.140 (Attend Responsible
Beverage Service (RBS) Training within 60 Days of Employment); late payment of the annual
permit fee (8.34.160); and for alcohol sales to a minor decoy (8.34.200).
BACKGROUND:
The City of Rohnert Park is one of the most progressive cities in California when it comes to
alcoholic beverage sales/service regulation. The newly adopted statewide Responsible Beverage
Service Training Act of 2017 mandates alcoholic beverage servers in California to attend
responsible beverage service (RBS) training effective July 1, 2021. With the ordinance currently
in effect, the City already provides quality RBS training to those employed at an alcoholic
beverage licensed establishment.
In 2007, the City Council adopted Ordinance 780 adding Chapter 8.34, Use Permits for
Alcoholic Beverage Establishments, to the Rohnert Park Municipal Code. The ordinance
required each owner or permittee of an alcohol establishment to secure a use permit to lawfully
engage in the sale of alcoholic beverages in the City. The permit required establishments to
comply with operational standards and training requirements set forth in the ordinance. The

annual fee provided the revenue necessary to fund the costs incurred by the Department of Public
Safety to monitor compliance, enforce the conditions of the permit, and implement a training
program to promote responsible policies and practices.
In 2011, the City Council adopted Ordinance 841 which changed the “1,000 feet” restriction in
Chapter 8.34 to “500 feet” for off-sale businesses only. This distancing requirement was more
appropriate given the distribution of sensitive uses and alcohol establishments in the City. Also
that year, “places of worship” was removed from the list of sensitive uses since they may be
located in commercial spaces in light of the City’s Zone Code and federal laws such as the
Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA).
Section 8.34.060 was also amended to allow the Director of Public Safety and/or his designee to
use discretion in granting alcohol use permits based on particular consideration of the peace,
order and moral welfare of the public. Specifically, rather than requiring that five findings be
made prior to permit issuance as required by the code, under the amended code the Director must
consider those factors but has the discretion to issue a permit even where not all five findings can
be made if the factual circumstances warrant it. For example, this flexibility would allow the
Director to take into account that two establishments are technically within 500 feet of one
another but are physically separated (such as by the highway), in deciding whether to issue a
permit.
ANALYSIS:
Due to the addition of license types through the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control, section 8.34.010 was amended to reflect those changes by adding the latest license types
as well as “other license types implemented by the ABC for licensing consumption on-
premises.”
Section 8.34.050 identifies the establishment of an application fee by resolution. It is
recommended the application fee be set at $250. This fee will cover administrative costs
associated with reviewing and processing such applications.
The appeal process (8.34.080 and 8.34.230) was updated to reflect other City appeal processes.
During Informed Merchants Preventing Alcohol-Related Crime Tendencies inspections officers
consistently found businesses to be out of compliance with the training requirement listed in
8.34.140, requiring that all sellers/servers of alcoholic beverages complete an approved course in
"Responsible Beverage Sales" (RBS) within sixty days of hire and renew such training every
three years. During inspections at a permitted establishment, employees found working in the
capacity of serving/ selling alcohol must present their RBS completion card when asked by
officers. A proposed change under this ordinance would be to subject any establishment found
to be in violation of the training requirements of section 8.34.140 to a $250.00 fine.
Since 2007, some permittee(s) have not paid for their use permit fee in a timely manner. This
year two businesses, which were billed in February, did not pay until August. Many others took
over three months to submit payment. It is costly and laborsome to repeatedly contact these
business through violation notices and in person visits to collect overdue fees. Staff recommends
ITEM NO. 8
3
a $250 fine be established (8.34.160) for those who do not pay their permit fee within the 30 day
timeframe (8.34.210).
Staff recommends that the annual City Council Report on the expenditures of the total of annual
alcohol permit fees collected be changed to coincide with the calendar year and will be presented
no later than the last Council meeting in March (8.34.190).
Operational data collected from enforcement activities since 2007, indicates a lack of compliance
with not selling alcohol to minors. To encourage compliance, staff recommends an
administrative penalty for those who sell to a minor decoy. After the institution of mandated
Responsible Beverage Service in 2007, the department saw the serving/ selling of alcoholic
beverages to minor decoys decline from a 27% furnishing rate to 14%. During those sting
operations, minors carried their government issued identification that clearly indicated they were
under 21. From 2013-2015, officers carried out a two-year Borrowed ID Education Campaign
where decoys carried a valid government identification issued to a person who is much older
(30’s) than the decoy and even of a different ethnicity/race. This resulted in an astonishing 78%
furnishing rate. As a result, Responsible Beverage Service Training Curriculum was changed to
overemphasize the importance of making sure identification belongs to the person who presents
it. This change is also the motivation behind accepting only in-person RBS as provided by
RPDPS Personnel.
During recent minor decoy operations, 19 out of 26 merchants sold alcohol to a 14 year old
female who presented a fake ID, belong to a different person. Out of the 19 merchants who sold,
11 had not attended mandated Responsible Beverage Service Training. Staff recommends the
proposed fine for establishments that sell to a minor decoy be assessed a $250 fine per sale of
alcoholic beverage (8.34.200).
To mitigate the ongoing issues identified above staff recommends instituting the aforementioned
fines to help gain compliance and recover costs incurred by the City. The Ordinance would
make the below offenses specifically subject to criminal penalty or administrative citation. The
amount of penalty would be set by resolution, and the below table outlines the proposed fines:
Section
Reason For Fine
Proposed
Fine
8.34.140 Failure to attend RBS Training $250
8.34.160 Late Payment of Permit Fees $250
8.34.200 Administrative Penalty For Selling To Minors $250
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
Goal C: Ensure the effective delivery of public services.
The proposed fines will assist with gaining compliance as outlined in the ordinance.
Goal D: Continue to develop a vibrant community.
ITEM NO. 8

The City of Rohnert Park is one of the most progressive/ innovative cities in the state when it
comes to combating alcohol related problems.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
Option 1: Recommended. Introduce ordinance revising the provisions of the ABSO program to
clarify license types to meet the requirements of the Alcoholic Beverage Service Ordinance,
update the appeal process, require in person Responsible Beverage Service Training only, change
the date City Council receives the annual report to coincide with calendar year, enhance appeals
process language as it applies to revocation.
Upon adoption of the ordinance, adopt a resolution that establishes fines for late payment of
annual permit fee, and adopt an administrative penalty for selling alcohol to a minor and failing
to meet training requirements which will hold businesses accountable for not following the intent
of the ordinance.
Option 2: Not Recommended. The proposed revisions enhance the ability of the City to hold
accountable those who fail to meet the intent of the ABSO ordinance. Not adopting the proposed
changes could result in a continued lack of compliance.
