1989 -90 Budget City Manager Callinan reported that the adjourned
Work Session regular session had been scheduled to allow the Council
to continue to review the proposed budget for the City
for 1989 -90. He indicated that representatives of two
(2) organizations had requested time to solicit Council
consideration for an allocation in the proposed budget.
Rohnert Park Brats Mrs. Karen Guaraglia, 7401 Circle Drive, appeared with
five (5) young girls who are members of the Rohnert Park
Brats softball team in the age 16 and under league. A
presentation was made to the Council, a copy of which is
attached to the original set of these minutes, in which
the team members requested a contribution from the City
to enable the team to attend the National Championships
to be held in Texas. Discussion followed.
Upon motion by Councilman Hollingsworth, seconded by
Councilman Spiro, and unanimously approved, the Council
authorized a $1,000 contribution to the Rohnert Park
Brats softball team to enable it to participate in the
National Championships to be held in Texas in August.
After the team representatives left, the Council had a
further discussion considering whether or not it ought
to increase the amount allocated to the Rohnert Park
Brats. After a wide ranging discussion, the matter was
left as approved by the Council.
Guanella Bros. Walt Guanella, representing the Guanella Bros. Fast
Pitch Softball Team, appeared and brought the Council
up to date on games being played at the Rohnert Park
Stadium by this team, indicating that many teams
1
throughout the United States come to play games in
Rohnert Park and that all the teams stay in the local
motels. He further indicated that his team is doing
extremely well this year and expects to win a National
Championship. He solicited Council's financial support
to aid the team to travel to the ISC World Championship
to be held in Wisconsin on August 11th through the 21st
and to the ASA National Tournament to be held in
Midland, Michigan September 8th through the 17th. He
indicated that for each of these tournaments the expense
for airplane tickets, hotel rooms, and car rentals would
be approximately $16,500 for each tournament.
Discussion followed.
Upon motion by Councilman Hollingsworth, seconded by
Councilman Hopkins, and unanimously approved, the
Council authorized a $3,000 contribution to the Guanella
Bros. softball team to assist it in recovering its
expenses in participating in the aforementioned
tournaments, the allocation being $1500 for each
tournament.
REMIF City Manager Callinan reminded the Council members of a
REMIF Open House to be held at the Red Lion Inn in
Rohnert Park on August 4th.
1989 -90 Budget The Council commenced a page -by -page review of the
proposed budget for 1989 -90 as submitted by the City
Manager.
On Page 9, City Manager Callinan requested to add a car
allowance of $40 for the Administrative
Assistant /Purchasing Officer. He indicated that she has
to use her car on city business quite a few times and
that it would be much more convenient to just have her
do that all the time and give her an auto allowance for
it and that she has indicated $40 would be adequate.
The Council indicated no objection to the addition to
the budget but did suggest that staff check to make
certain that the $40 will be enouqh to cover any
additional insurance expense that the employee may incur
as a result of using her vehicle on city business.
Discussion was held concerning the positions in the
budget for the Cultural Arts Facility (Theatre) which
will open later this year. Theatre Manager Grice was
invited into the meeting and had a discussion with the
Council concerning the positions and the theatre in
general.
Discussion was held concerning the Data Processing
Manager included in the budget.
A discussion was held concerning the reserve balances
and the City Manager's recommendation that three (3)
additional positions be added to the budget in view of
the significantly larger than anticipated ending General
Fund balance for fiscal year 1988 -89. City Manager
Callinan provided the Council with revised pages 8
through 11 and page 15 which reflected the beginning
balance in the General Fund and the revision of the
additional positions requested by the City Manager for
the 1989 -90 budget. A copy of the handouts are attached
to the original set of these minutes.
Discussion was held during which the Council indicated
no objection to the additional positions requested by
the City Manager and discussion was held on what to do
with the additional funds that were unanticipated.
Upon motion by Councilman Hopkins, seconded by Council
member Spiro, and unanimously approved, the Council
directed that $500,000 be transferred to the Reserve
for Capital Improvements & Infrastructure Maintenance &
Repair.
Discussion was initiated concerning the City's goals.
It was suggested that one be that the City continue to
plant trees and get a vigorous tree planting program
started. Assistant to the City Manager Leivo explained
the tree grant application that he is preparing which
should be submitted shortly for the planting of trees in
different parts of town including areas outside the city
along the Rohnert Park Expressway.
Discussion was held concerning the goals contained in
the budget and Council members indicated that they may
have some additional goals to add.
Discussion was held concerning the allocation in the
budget for the Sonoma County Visitors and Convention
Bureau.
Upon motion by Councilman Spiro, seconded by Councilman
Hollingsworth, and approved by the following vote, the
Council indicated that $150,000 should be provided in
the budget for the Sonoma County Visitors and Convention
Bureau:
AYES: (3) Hollingsworth, Spiro and Cochran
NOES: (2) Eck and Hopkins
Councilman Eck wanted the record to show that he felt
that $150,000 was a little too much and far exceeded the
$100,000 already allocated and that he was ready to
compromise at a contribution of $125,000.
Councilman Hollingsworth indicated one (1) goal of the
City should be to increase the sales tax ranking of the
city on a per capita basis by one (1) notch, that is, up
3
from the 8th city in terms of receipts per capita to the
number 7th city in the county.
As part of the budget review, a wide ranging discussion
was held concerning the impact of The Price Club on the
City's sales tax receipts once that facility gets
developed, redevelopment activity and use of funds from
that source.
Discussion was held concerning City Attorney Flitner's
request for an increase in his retainer. Upon
conclusion of the discussion, the Council suggested that
a meeting be scheduled with City Attorney Flitner to
discuss the matter. Staff was also directed to do a
salary survey of full time city attorneys so the Council
can decide whether or not it is time to consider
employing a full time city attorney.
Discussion was held concerning the increases in the
budget by some departments over the amount in the
departments' budgets last year. Upon conclusion of the
discussion the Council requested that a summary or
reasons be given where the percent change in any
particular department is in excess of 20 %.
After a further review of the budget, the Council
indicated that it generally found the proposed budget
acceptable and that the budget could be set for public
hearing and adoption the first Council meeting in
August.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned for a dinner break at approximately 5:55 p.m.
until 7:00 p.m. on this same date.

Copy to ea. Caunci n
''nY to
I should like to ask the City Council for a $200 increase in the
retainer for City matters and a $400 increase in the retainer
for the Rent Review Board. At present, the City retainer is
^W�wr $2000 and the Rent Review Board retainer is $800.
,v
I am making no request for an increase in the hourly amount for
37-L court appearances. The request for the increase in retainer is
approximately 5% or less per year if inflation and compounding is
factored in. I furnish all supplies, auto expenses, postage and
medical and health benefits. The City allows a telephone card
for City - related calls. This is the only expense which I do not
absorb out of the retainer or fees paid. This past year our
office has added a fax machine to improve communication.
With regard to the request for the Rent Review Board, I have
discovered this activity takes more time than I anticipated. I
doubt that it will diminish. As the Council may know, there are
two (2) meetings per month as mandated by the Ordinance. I
render one or more opinions to the Board per meeting, either
written or oral. I am assigned the responsibility of reviewing
decisions of the hearing examiner. Most of the Board actions
seems to involve legal considerations. Since the welfare of the
tenants is a concern, I am called upon to consider opinions that
sometimes go beyond rent control such as the recent federal act
regarding 55 and 60 year old residents in parks and allowable
rule changes in parks, the California Civil Code and similar
matters.
Since the Ordinance allows the costs to be recovered from the
owners or tenants, I believe the ultimate burden for any fee
increase in the Rent Review retainer is not borne by the City
although fees may have to be increased to cover increased costs.
April 27, 1989

I should appreciate the Council's favorable consideration of this
request. If the Council has any questions, I should be pleased
to answer them.
