Item 7.C.
Meeting Date: January 14, 2025
Department: Administration
Submitted By: Sylvia Lopez Cuevas, City Clerk
Prepared By: Sylvia Lopez Cuevas, City Clerk
Agenda Title: Sonoma County Mayors’ and Councilmembers’ Association Matters:
Confirm Mayor’s Letter Designating an Alternate Voting Representative at
the Mayors’ and Councilmembers’ Association Board and City Selection
Committee Meetings.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Confirm the Mayor’s letter designating an alternate voting representative to attend Mayors’ and
Councilmembers’ Association and City Selection Committee meetings.
BACKGROUND:
The Sonoma County Mayors’ and Councilmembers’ Association Board of Directors
(Association) and the City Selection Committee (Committee) is a collaboration of all Sonoma
County cities to create a united front to represent the strongest voice possible in support of city
interests.
ANALYSIS:
The Board of Directors of the Association review policy items and develop the agenda for the
Association, makes appointments of Association’s representatives to organizations or
committees, acts as the Sonoma County City Selection Committee (Government Code Sections
50270 et seq.) to make recommendations or appointments to organizations, commissions or
committees. It makes recommendations to the Association on matters of interest, and issues
position letters on behalf of the Association as permitted by their Bylaws. It also provides
programming topics for the General Membership meetings to the Chairperson and Secretary,
acting in their role as the Program Committee and conducts the Association’s business in an
orderly manner.
The Association Board of Directors cannot vote unless they are Mayors. However, the
Association Bylaws authorize the Mayor to designate a voting delegate in the event that the
Mayor is unable to vote. Their Bylaws (Attachment 1) indicate that instead of the Mayor
providing a letter before each meeting, cities may instead provide a letter at the beginning of
each term designating the approved alternates for their city.
The representative shall enjoy the same voting privilege during the Board of Directors’ meeting
as the Mayor. In the absence of such a letter, no one shall be entitled to act as the representative
of a Mayor. The attached letter indicates the Mayor’s designation for Rohnert Park’s voting
delegate to serve in this capacity and is submitted to Council for confirmation (Attachment 2).

ITEM NO. 7.D.
1
Meeting Date: January 14, 2024
Department: Administration
Submitted By: Sylvia Lopez Cuevas, City Clerk
Prepared By: Sylvia Lopez Cuevas, City Clerk
Agenda Title: Confirm Mayor Giudice' nomination of Jake Mackenzie as the City’s
Representative to the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito & Vector Control District
Board of Trustees for a Term to Expire December 31, 2028
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Council confirmation of Mayor Giudice’s nomination of Jake Mackenzie as the City’s
Representative to the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees for a
Term to Expire December 31, 2028.
BACKGROUND:
Michael Thompson, the City of Rohnert Park representative on the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito &
Vector Control District Board of Trustees (“Board”) cannot continue to serve as the City’s
representative due to his recent relocation outside the City’s limit.
Upon notification from the Board on November 13, 2024, the City Clerk’s Office began
recruitment to fill this vacancy. During the following weeks, the City Clerk distributed the
vacancy and application information using social media and other channels available to the City.
Ideally, appointees should have experience, training, and education in fields that will assist in the
governance of the District.1 The Council has the discretion to appoint a member for a term of
two (2) or four (4) years.
Mayor Giudice is nominating Jake Mackenzie as the City’s Representative to the Marin/Sonoma
Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees for a Four-Year Term Expiring December
31, 2028. Staff supports this recommendation.
According to the City Council Protocols, At-large nominees must receive a majority vote of the
City Council membership to be appointed.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is not a Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). This
action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not
qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines
Sections 15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3), and because it can be seen with certainty that there is no

possibility the City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
Making appointments to City Committees, Commissions, and Boards supports the City’s values
of communication and collaboration and Goal A “Practice Leadership at all Levels” as well as
Goal D “Continue to Develop a Vibrant Community.”
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended Option: Staff recommends appointing Jake Mackenzie as the City’s
Representative to the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of
Trustees for a Term to Expire December 31, 2028.
2. Alternative: Do not appoint a representative. This option is not recommended because
the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito & Vector Control District will not have a member
representing the City of Rohnert Park.

sheet) or request for reappointment indicating an interest in serving.
Councilmembers may not appoint city employees to serve in City Committees,
Commissions and Board.
2. For City commissions, committees, and boards with five (5) members, each
Councilmember shall be entitled to appoint one member. All other
commissions, committees, and boards not divisible by five (5) shall be selected
by the Council as a whole on an “at-large” basis.
3. At-large nominees must receive a majority vote of the City Council membership
in order to be appointed.
4. Nominations/appointments are made on a rotation basis. Rotation order is by

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Accept City Councilmembers’ Nominations and Confirm the appointment of Tramaine Austin-
Dillon, Fanny Wing Ah Lam, and Tim Campbell to serve on the Rohnert Park Planning

BACKGROUND:
The Maddy Act requires the City to prepare a list of all boards, commissions, and committee
appointments made by the City Council no later than December 31 of each year. This list is also
known as the Local Appointments List or Maddy Act List. The Maddy Act List contains the
following information:

the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date the term expires, and the
necessary qualifications for the position.
b. A list of all boards, commissions, and committees whose members serve at the
pleasure of the legislative body, and the necessary qualifications for each position.
The City Clerk posted the abovementioned list on September 10, 2024. The list indicated three
upcoming vacancies to the Planning Commission (four-year term) with a term expiring
December 31, 2028.
In October 2024, Planning Commissioners were advised of their expiring terms and encourage to
seek reappointment. In order to attract more potential applicants, the City Clerk’s office issued a
Press Release, in both English and Spanish and promoted the information in multiple ways.
ANALYSIS:
The Planning Commission is charged with development of the General Plan, implementation and
administration of the Zoning Ordinance, and review of development applications. Planning
Commission members shall reside in Rohnert Park and will serve for a 4-year term (or remainder
thereof). Commissioners are required to file conflict of interest statements consistent with state

law. Applicants are expected to be residents interested in acting as an advisory agency to the City
Council and in having such powers and duties as may be assigned to it by the City Council.
The Planning Commission consists of five members. Three of the terms expired December 31,
2024.
During the recruitment period, six candidates submitted applications which were forwarded to
Councilmember Elward, Councilmember Rodriguez, and Mayor Giudice for review and
consideration. Rohnert Park Municipal Code 17.25.091 states the following:
A. Members of the planning commission shall be appointed by the city council. Each
councilperson may nominate one resident of the city of Rohnert Park for appointment to the
planning commission. The term of each commission member shall be for four years expiring
on December thirty first.

D. Members of the commission shall serve without compensation unless otherwise provided
for by the city council.

business of the planning commission provided such reimbursement is approved by the city
council.
The following is a list indicating the nominee and the nominating Councilmember. Staff is
requesting Council to Confirm these Nominations and appoint the below individuals to serve on
the Rohnert Park Planning Commission for Terms Expiring December 31, 2028.
Staff recommends City Council consider the nominations and appointments of the afore-
mentioned nominees.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is not a Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). This action
is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not qualify
as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections
15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3), and because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
the City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
Making appointments to City Committees, Commissions, and Boards supports the City’s values
of communication and collaboration and Goal A “Practice Leadership at all Levels” as well as
Goal D “Continue to Develop a Vibrant Community.”

ANALYSIS:
The California Building Code Standards (CBCS) are updated and adopted triennially by the City
of Rohnert Park City Council. Contained within those standards are administrative provisions set
forth under the California Building Code Section 113 “Board of Appeals” (CBC) (Attachment 1)
that require the creation of a Board of Appeals (Board) to hear and decide appeals of orders,
decisions or determinations made by the building official relative to the application and
interpretation of the CBCS.
To align with the CBC the Board must consist of members who are qualified by experience and
training to pass on matters pertaining to building construction and are not employees of the
jurisdiction. The current City’s Board members are below:
Darrin W. Jenkins Term Expires 12/2026
Bryan Waters Term Expires 12/2026
The City’s Board meet as needed to hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions and
determinations made by the Building Division relative to the application and interpretation of
Title 24: California Building Standards Codes and other regulations governing use, maintenance
and change of occupancy.
In order to find the most qualified applicants possessing the proficiencies outlined below in
Analysis section, there was no residency restriction requirement for this board so the City could
attract the most qualified applicants.
City Council Protocols (Section XI) establishes the procedures for considering appointments by
the City Council to the various City commissions, committees, and boards. Building Board of
Appeals has fewer than five (5) members; therefore, members shall be selected by the Council as
a whole on an “at-large” basis. At-large nominees must receive a majority vote of the City
Council membership in order to be appointed
The Board consists of three seats and at-large nominations can be made by any Councilmember
to fill a vacancy. Preference in the selection of applicants shall be given to those meeting the
qualifications as follows:
• Professionally registered civil, structural, or geotechnical engineers; or
• Professionally licensed architects; or
• Professionally registered geologist or engineering geologist; or
• Certified building inspectors or officials as follows: Building Inspector [ICC], Building
Plans Examiner [ICC], Combination Inspector [ICC], Building Official [ICC], Master
Code Professional [ICC], Residential Building Inspector [ICC], Residential Combination
ITEM NO. 7.F.
3
Inspector [ICC], Combination Plans Examiner [ICC], Building Code Official [ICC],
Construction Inspector Division II [ACIA], Division of the State Architect Class 1 & 2,
and OSHPD Class A; or
• Contractors licensed by the California State Licensing Board as an A, B, or C contractor
involved in building construction regulated by current California Building Code
Standards.
One application was received for this vacancy. The application was reviewed by the City’s Building
Official who determined that the applicant’s education and background does not meet the requires
as specified for the position of Building Board of Appeals Member. It is noteworthy that the Clerk’s
Office has been actively trying to recruit a third board member since September 2020.
Staff is recommending Council to receive this report and direct Staff to continue recruitment for the
Building Appeals Board and that all applications be evaluated by the City’s new Building Official.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is not a Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). This action
does not qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21065 and CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3), and because it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility the City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the
environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
Making appointments to City Committees, Commissions, and Boards supports the City’s values
of communication and collaboration and Goal A “Practice Leadership at all Levels” as well as
Goal D “Continue to Develop a Vibrant Community.”
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended Option: Receive this report and direct Staff to continue the recruitment
for the Building Appeals Board and that all applications be evaluated by the City’s new
Building Official. Staff would then ask Council to consider applications at a future City
Council Meeting. It is worth mentioning that this Board has never convened; therefore,
Staff does not believe an appointment is urgent. The Board will still have a quorum (at
least two members) available to hear appeals, should the need to convene arise.
2. Alternative: Council could nominate and appoint the one applicant to the Building
Appeals Board. This option is not recommended as the applicant does not appear to be
qualified by experience and training to pass decisions on matters pertaining to building
construction.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Receive Progress Report on the Status of the Emergency Public Safety Antenna and Radio
System Replacement Project (CIP2412), as required by the Public Contract Code and
2. By Minute Order, authorize the continuation of Resolution 2024-051 until the emergency

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
On June 25, 2024, the Rohnert Park City Council adopted Resolution 2024-051 Declaring an
Emergency Project Pursuant to Public Contract Code Sections 20168 and 22050, Amending the

Since the last communication, we are waiting for the County to give us a cost for leasing the
antenna space. Once we get the cost, we can proceed with the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does
not qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21065 and CEQA
Guidelines Sections 15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility the City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the
environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Submitted By: Betsy Howze, Finance Director
Prepared By: Betsy Howze, Finance Director
Agenda Title: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park as
Successor Agency to the Former Community Development Commission of
the City of Rohnert Park Approving the Annual Recognized Obligation
Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the Period of July 1, 2025 through June 30,
2026 (ROPS 25-26) Pursuant to Section 34177 (o) of the California Health
and Safety Code and Authorizing Staff to Take Related Actions
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution of the City of Rohnert Park as Successor Agency to the former Community
Development Commission of the City of Rohnert Park approving the annual Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026
(ROPS 25-26) pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34177 (o).
BACKGROUND:
On February 1, 2012, pursuant to Assembly Bill x1 26, the Rohnert Park Successor Agency
(“Successor Agency”) was established to serve as a custodian for the assets and to wind down
the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency or the Community Development Commission
(“Commission”). The Successor Agency was originally subject to the direction of a seven-
member Oversight Board. Changes in State law consolidated Oversight Boards for individual
successor agencies to countywide oversight boards, and thus as of July 1, 2018, the Successor
Agency is now overseen by the Sonoma County Consolidated Oversight Board. Tax increment
funding that had previously gone to redevelopment agencies is now placed in a county-wide
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”) held by the County. The revenues received
from the RPTTF, as well as the Successor Agency’s assets transferred from the Commission, can
only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution. Each year, the
City as the Successor Agency prepares a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS),
which details funding requirements related to all outstanding obligations that the former
Commission entered into prior to dissolution that the Successor Agency must now fulfill. This is
submitted to the State Department of Finance, which then authorizes remission of RPTTF
revenue to the Successor Agency by the County that is necessary to fulfill those obligations.
Health & Safety Code Section 34177(o) requires successor agencies to submit the ROPS to the
State Department of Finance and the County Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector, no

later than February 1 of each year. Toward this end, the ROPS 25-26 must first be approved by
the City Council, as the Successor Agency of the City of Rohnert Park, and thereafter, presented
to the Sonoma County Consolidated Oversight Board at their meeting on January 24, 2025 for
final approval.
If necessary, an annual ROPS may be amended once, provided it is processed and approved by
the Successor Agency and Oversight Board and submitted to DOF no later than October 1st
(Section 34177(o)(1)(E)).
ANALYSIS:
The attached ROPS FY 25-26 addresses $3,548,668 in total of enforceable obligations, all of
which are to be paid from RPTTF revenue. The enforceable obligations include bond debt
payments ($3,298,668) and the administrative cost allowance ($250,000) for the period July 1,
2025 to June 30, 2026.
Staff recommends that the Successor Agency consider and adopt the attached Resolution
approving the ROPS FY 25-26. If approved, the ROPS FY 25-26 will be submitted to the
County Oversight Board for approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is not a Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This item follows the Fiscal Responsibility value in the Strategic Plan by complying with
mandated programs and utilizing all resources efficiently and effectively.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
None. The annual ROPS must be presented to and approved by the City Council of the City of
Rohnert Park, as the Successor Agency of the City of Rohnert Park, and the Sonoma County
Consolidated Oversight Board. The ROPS must then be transmitted to the State of California,
Department of Finance (“DOF”) and the County Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector on
or before February 1st of each year in order to receive the RPTTF to pay the enforceable
obligations of the Successor Agency.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
If approved, the City as Successor Agency will receive all funds necessary to pay for the debt
service obligations of the Successor Agency via the RPTTF. In addition, the General Fund will
receive up to $250,000 for administrative costs.

Introduction
The imposing of development impact fees in California is guided by legislation commonly known
as AB1600 which became effective on January 1, 1989. This legislation has been codified as
California Government Sections 66000-66008, and 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 fees imposed on new development have the proper nexus to any
project on which they are imposed. Further, Government Code (GC) Section 66001 requires that
for the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the account or fund, and every five years
thereafter, the local agency shall make findings related to purpose of the fee, relationship between
the fee and the purpose for which it is charged, and identify sources and amount of funding, among
other findings. If the fee is held beyond this time frame due to specific circumstances or insufficient
collection for the needed improvements, the City Council must make specific findings to continue
holding the fees.
Accounting Requirements
California Government Code Section 66006 (a) requires that if a local agency imposes a fee in
connection with the approval of a development project, then the local agency receiving the funds
shall deposit the funds in a separate fund or account to avoid commingling the fees with other
revenues. 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.
Annual Report Requirements
California Government Code Section 66006 (b) requires that for each fund or account established,
the local agency shall make available to the public the following information for the fiscal year
within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year. Additionally, the information shall be made
available to the public at least 15 days in advance of the public meeting at which the report is
presented. This report was posted on the City’s website and made available at the City Clerk’s
office for public review on December 27, 2024.
• 66006 (b) (1) (A): A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund.
• 66006 (b) (1) (B): The amount of the fee.
• 66006 (b) (1) (C): The beginning (July 1) and ending (June 30) balances of each fund for
which, the impact fees were collected.
• 66006 (b) (1) (D): The amount of fee collected, and the interest earned by each fund.
• 66006 (b) (1) (E): 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.
• 66006 (b) (1) (F): 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 and an
identification of each public improvement identified in a previous report and whether
construction began on the approximate date noted in the previous report.

PUBLIC FACILITIES FEE
The Public Facilities Fee (PFF) is based on the Public Facilities Finance Plan, which determined the facilities needed to
serve new development built out in accordance with the City’s General Plan, and in turn, new developments’ fair share of
the costs of those facilities. The fair share of costs varies based on the land use class of the new development and the
location of the new development.

New non-residential development is subject to 3 components that together make up the total Public Facilities Fee for
such projects:
Table 2: PFF – Public Facilities. This component of the PFF pays for expanded transportation infrastructure
(i.e. new roads, traffic signals), public safety capacity and infrastructure (e.g. Westside Public Safety building),
and public works and community facilities. The fee is based on a rate determined by the land use and project
location, multiplied by each enclosed 1000 SF of project.
Table 3: PFF – Sewer. This component pays for the infrastructure needed to send additional sewerage to the
Laguna Treatment Plant. The fee is based on a rate determined by the land use and project location, multiplied
by the daily flow gallons expected to be generated by the new development, based on the number and type of
fixtures in the project.
Table 4: PFF – Drainage. This component pays for additional capacity of the drainage system needed to lessen
and treat runoff created by new impervious surfaces in new development. The fee is based on a rate determined
by the land use and project location, multiplied by 1000 SF of disturbed site area created by the project.

Public Facilities Fee Schedule Notes
1. See 2011 Update to the Public Facilities Finance Plan for detailed presentation of calculations. (Adopted by City
Council Resolution)
2. “Infill Development” is all development (new, remodel or reconstruction) outside of the defined Specific Plan
Areas or Planned Developments
3. Non-residential fees are calculated by summing the values from Tables 2, 3, and 4 for the type of land use
proposed.
4. “Mixed Use” fees are calculated by summing the fees calculated for each type of land use within the mixed -use
proposal.
5. N/A or Not Applicable means that a particular fee component does not apply within the defined geographic area
because:
a. New development within that geographic does not create impacts to certain infrastructure systems; or
b. Approved Specific Plans do not include certain land use classes, hence fee components have not been
computed.
6. Enclosed Thousand Square Feet is calculated based on the gross floor area, as defined in Chapter 17.04 of the
Municipal Code including any patio area under a horizontal projection of the roof, the floor above or other
covering, when such area is used for activities integral to the commercial business.
7. Disturbed Thousand Square Feet is calculated based on the total area approved for grading on the property.
8. The Public Facilities Finance Fee is subject to adjustment by the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost
Index (ENR-CCI) for the San Francisco Bay Area on July 1st each year.
WATER CAPACITY CHARGES
The Water Capacity Charge (WCC), adopted in November 2016, funds water supply infrastructure needed by new
development. This fee replaced the “Per Acre Development Fee” and “Special Water Connection Fee” and is charged to
new residential and non-residential development. A Water Capacity Charge Analysis was conducted to determine the
improvements to be financed by the WCC, including buy-in to the City’s existing well field, a fair share allocation of the
Sonoma County Water Agency’s planned supply improvements, and new storage tanks required by the environmental
documents for the new development areas. Like the Public Facilities Fee, the fair share of costs varies based on the land
use class of the new development and the location of the new development. The Water Capacity Charge is subject to
ENR-CCI adjustment on July 1st each year.

ITEM NO. 7.J.

Meeting Date: January 14, 2025
Department: Development Services
Submitted By: Alicia Giudice, Director of Development Services
Prepared By: Justin Brandt, Deputy City Engineer
Elliott Pickett, Associate Planner
Agenda Title: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing and Approving a Public Facilities Fee
Credit Agreement with SOMO Village, LLC and Finding the Action
Exempt Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing and Approving a Public Facilities Fee Credit Agreement with
SOMO Village, LLC and Finding the Action Exempt under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3).
BACKGROUND:
On May 25, 2004, the City adopted Resolution No. 2004-119 approving the Public Facilities
Finance Plan. On April 11, 2006, and May 3, 2007, Codding Enterprises LP contributed an
amount totaling $340,616.76, at the City’s direction to fund the Eastside Trunk Sewer Project,
with the understanding that they would receive fee credits for this contribution. Codding
Enterprises LP and SOMO Village, LLC (“Developer”) entered into an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement in 2017, where Codding Enterprises LP assigned their rights to the
SOMO project, including the right to Public Facilities Finance Plan (“PFFP”) fee credits, to the
Developer. On March 23, 2021, the Developer and the City entered into a Development
Agreement to facilitate the orderly development of the area known as Sonoma Mountain Village
Planned Development. The Development Agreement requires the Developer to contribute to the
PFFP for public improvements. The Developer has paid $684,192 in PFFP Fees for 32
townhome building permits pulled in June and July 2024 and is now seeking to be refunded its
prior earned fee credits in the amount of $340,616.76. In order to return the fee credit to the
Developer, the City must create a Public Facilities Fee Credit Agreement (“Agreement”). The
purpose of the proposed Agreement is to recognize the payment for prior improvements, the
credit due to Developer, and the applicability of these PFFP fee credits.
ANALYSIS:
The current PFFP Fee for the Sonoma Mountain Village Planned Development is approximately
$21,000 per townhome unit. The Developer’s fee credit of $340,616.76 is less than the total
PFFP Fees contributed; therefore, the Developer will only be credited for $340,616.76. The
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. 7.J.
4934-2765-1595 v1 2
Agreement will facilitate the administration of the fee credits immediately and provide for the
refund to Developer for a portion of the PFFP Fees paid on the townhomes.
The Agreement captures the following terms related to the credit of the PFFP Fees:
1. The maximum credit will be $340,616.76 consistent with the prepaid amount.
2. Fee credits will only apply to APN 046-660-063 (Lot 117) which is defined as the
“Property Subject to the Agreement”.
3. The City will track the fee credit as repayments made for the excess PFFP fees paid on
the townhomes.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
When it adopted the current Public Facilities Finance Plan and Public Facilities Fee Schedule,
the City Council found the action categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines section 15061(b)(3). This finding was made
because the PF Fee program, which is a mitigation fee program, provides a mechanism for
mitigating potential environmental impacts. (City of Rohnert Park Resolution No. 2011-112).
The proposed Agreement, which is an implementation tool for administering the PF Fee
Program, is categorically exempt pursuant to the same exemption.
The project funded by the prepaid fees was the Eastside Trunk Sewer Phase 3, which was
identified in the General Plan as necessary to mitigate the impacts of new development in
Rohnert Park. Each of these projects has been independently reviewed under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
None. The recommended action implements the fee credits previously earned by Developer.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
The fiscal impact of this project is to recognize the fee creditable work performed by the
Developer’s predecessor-in-interest on April 11, 2006 and May 3, 2007, and refunding the
Developer, a total of $340,616.76, for their PFFP contributions from the building permits. There
is no fiscal impact to the General Fund.

R E C I T A L S
A. On April 22, 2014, the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park adopted its Ordinance
No. 878 approving an Amended and Restated Development Agreement with the Developer recorded in
the Official Records of Sonoma County as Document No. 2014051817 (the “Development
Agreement”) for the development of the SOMO Village Project (“Project”).
B. Section 4.03(C) of the Development Agreement provides that the Developer is entitled
to credits against Public Facilities Finance Plan (“PFFP”) fees for those improvements included in the
PFFP and funded by Developer.
C. On April 11, 2006 and May 3, 2007, at the City’s direction, Codding Enterprises, LP,
predecessor-in-interest to Developer, paid to fund the construction of the Eastside Trunk Sewer Project,
a fee creditable project, in an amount equal to $340,616.76.
D. Codding Enterprises LP, assigned its rights to the underlying project, including any fee
credits, to the Developer in 2017.

Agenda Title: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Program
Supplement No. F016 to Master Agreement Administering Agency-State
Agreement for Federal Aid Projects No. 04-5379F15 for Hwy. 101
Bike/Ped Overcrossing at Copeland Creek (Federal Project No. CML-
5379(027)), Accepting $3,350,000 Federal Funding Award, Appropriating
$220,000 from Measure M Transportation Fund (Fund 4327) for
CIP2202 and the Federal funding of $3,350,000, and Amending Project
Budget for CIP2202 to $4,345,000 (CEQA Status: Exempt Under
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines §§ 15306)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to Execute Program Supplement No. F016 to Master
Agreement Administering Agency-State Agreement for Federal Aid No. 04-5379F15 for Hwy.
101 Bike/Ped Overcrossing at Copeland Creek (Federal Project No. CML-5379(027)), Accepting
$3,350,000 Federal Funding Award, Appropriating $220,000 from Measure M Transportation
Fund (Fund 4327) for Capital Improvement Project (“CIP”) 2202, and Amending Total Project
Budget for CIP2202 to $4,345,000.
BACKGROUND:
In 2004, Sonoma County voters approved Measure M, which established a 1/4-cent ($0.0025)
sales tax to fund transportation projects and programs throughout the county. Grant funding for
feasibility studies of bicycle and pedestrian crossings of Highway 101 was included in Measure
M to advance active transportation. In early 2022, the City of Rohnert Park used this funding for
a feasibility study that determined that a bicycle/pedestrian overcrossing at Copeland Creek
would serve local and regional needs well, given the existing bike path and street infrastructure,
surrounding destinations, and connection to the regional bike network. The study also validated
the project’s inclusion in the existing Rohnert Park Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, Sonoma
County Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, 2040 Sonoma County Comprehensive
Transportation Plan and Caltrans District 4 Bike Plan. Project implementation steps and planning
level cost estimates were included in the study. The entire project was estimated to be $32.25
million over multiple phases, including a Caltrans project initiation study, environmental
documentation, project design, and construction.
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. 7.K.
OAK #4908-8507-9818 v1 2
In late 2021, the Sonoma County Transportation Authority (“SCTA”) issued a Call for Projects
seeking eligible and competitive projects for several multi-year transportation funding plans,
including the 2022 State Transportation Improvement Program (“STIP”); the One Bay Area
Grant Cycle 3 (“OBAG3”) regional program which includes federal funds; and “Go Sonoma,” a
County-wide plan funded by the 2020 voter-approved extension of the original Measure M ¼-
cent sales tax. Of the 5 projects submitted by the City, SCTA selected the Highway 101 Bicycle
and Pedestrian Overcrossing at Copeland Creek (“Project”) for the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission (“MTC”) to consider for OBAG3 funding. In early 2023, MTC recommended that
the Project receive $3,350,000 in federal Congestion Management and Air Quality (“CMAQ”)
funds from the OBAG3 program for the Preliminary Engineering (“PE”) phase of the project.
On March 14, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2023-016 which authorized the
filing of the application for federal funding, stated the City’s assurance to complete the project
(i.e., the PE phase), and committing match funds of at least 11.47% of the project phase cost.
On August 2, 2023, in their administrative role to manage federal funds for local agencies, the
California Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”) obligated the $3,350,000 in CMAQ funds
to the PE phase of the project.
DISCUSSION:
Caltrans and the City are parties to an “Administering Agency-State Agreement for Federal Aid
Projects” – also referred to as “Master Agreement” – which stipulates how the City may use
federal aid. For each project receiving federal aid, Caltrans provides a “Program Supplement” to
the Master Agreement describing the funding program, grant amount, project phase being
funded, and City’s and Caltrans’ roles and responsibilities.
Caltrans has provided the City the attached Program Supplement for $3,350,000 in CMAQ funds
for the PE phase of the Project. (See Exhibit A of Resolution.) Caltrans requires a certified
resolution identifying the representative authorized to execute the Program Supplement on behalf
of the agency. The authorizing resolution and executed Program Supplement will enable Caltrans
to reimburse the City for eligible preliminary engineering activities for the Project.
The Program Supplement reflects the project PE phase total cost of $4,336,000 as submitted in
the original funding application and the $986,000 local matching funds commitment, resulting in
a $3,350,000 federal funding award. The City has already budgeted $775,000 in CIP2202 (the
City project number for the Project), towards the local match commitment. Approximately
$575,000 of that budget is expended or otherwise encumbered in contracts for an early PE phase
task: a Caltrans Project Study Report, which is required for projects proposed to cross State
facilities. About $200,000 remains in the Project budget to be used on the remaining PE tasks of
environmental documentation (project approval and environmental documentation, or “PA/ED”)
and design and construction documents (i.e., plans, specifications, and estimates, or “PS&E”).
The 2022 feasibility study estimated PA/ED and PS&E to total $3,400,000. Applying a 3.5%
escalator to account for typical cost increases between the 2022 estimate and 2025, the updated
estimate for PA/ED and PS&E is approximately $3,700,000. To accommodate this cost
escalation, City staff requests a new appropriation of $220,000 from the Measure M
Transportation fund (Fund 4327) for CIP2202. Combined with the $775,000 already budgeted to
CIP2202 as local, the additional funding of $220,000 will provide a total $995,000 in local match
funding. (This is only $9,000 over the original committed local match.) The resulting total
ITEM NO. 7.K.
OAK #4908-8507-9818 v1 3
project budget including federal CMAQ grant funding and additional local match is $4,345,000.
See Table 1 below for summary of budgeted and proposed funding and uses:

from Measure M $220,000 ($0) ($220,000)
Total Funding and
Expenses $4,345,000 ($575,000) ($3,770,000)
The completion of the PE phase of the overcrossing will produce construction documents and
environmental clearance so that the Project will be shovel-ready. This will enable the City and
the SCTA to pursue regional, State and federal funding for the eventual construction of the
overcrossing.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to authorize the City
Manager to execute Program Supplement No. F016, accept the federal funding, amend the
project budget, approve new appropriation of funding from Measure M, and direct the City Clerk
to certify the resolution.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
No other options are considered. Without executing the Program Supplement and providing a
certified resolution, the City cannot receive federal funds reimbursement for this Project phase.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The Project phase to be funded by the federal award and City funding match involves
environmental analysis and design of a bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing of Hwy. 101 at
Copeland Creek, which is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15306 (information
gathering purposes as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet
approved, adopted or funded). During the PID phase, a Preliminary Environmental Analysis
Report (“PEAR”) was completed to identify environmental factors for the Highway 101
Bike/Ped Overcrossing Project. During the Project design, the appropriate NEPA and CEQA
documents will be prepared.
The Council action to approve the Program Supplement with Caltrans does not itself have an
environmental impact.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
The recommended action is consistent with Strategic Plan Goal C (ensure effective delivery of
public services) and City Council Strategic Priority 3 (Infrastructure, maintenance, and
beautification).
ITEM NO. 7.K.
OAK #4908-8507-9818 v1 4
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
The fiscal impact of this proposed Council action is an increase of the Project budget of CIP2202
from $4,336,000 to $4,345,000, which includes an increase in the City’s financial commitment
of matching funds from $986,000 to $995,000. The City has currently budgeted $775,000 for this
phase of the Project in the CIP2022 budget and the City’s additional financial commitment will
require a $220,000 transfer from the Measure M Transportation (Fund 4327) to the Capital
Projects Fund (Fund 7110). The $3,350,000 in federal funding for the Project will be
accomplished as transfers into the Capital Projects Fund (Fund 7110) from a federal funds
receivable, which is paid to the City as reimbursements for eligible expenditures in CIP2202.

1.A. The ADMINISTERING AGENCY will advertise, award and administer this project in
accordance with the current published Local Assistance Procedures Manual.
B. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees that it will only proceed with work authorized for
specific phase(s) with an "Authorization to Proceed" and will not proceed with future phase(s)
of this project prior to receiving an "Authorization to Proceed" from the STATE for that
phase(s) unless no further State or Federal funds are needed for those future phase(s).
C. STATE and ADMINISTERING AGENCY agree that any additional funds which might be
made available by future Federal obligations will be encumbered on this PROJECT by use of
a STATE-approved "Authorization to Proceed" and Finance Letter. ADMINISTERING
AGENCY agrees that Federal funds available for reimbursement will be limited to the amounts
obligated by the Federal Highway Administration.
D. Award information shall be submitted by the ADMINISTERING AGENCY to the District
Local Assistance Engineer within 60 days of project contract award and prior to the submittal
of the ADMINISTERING AGENCY'S first invoice for the construction contract.
Failure to do so will cause a delay in the State processing invoices for the construction phase.
Attention is directed to Section 15.6 "Award Package" of the Local Assistance Procedures
Manual.
E. ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees, as a minimum, to submit invoices at least once every
six months commencing after the funds are encumbered for each phase by the execution of
this Project Program Supplement Agreement, or by STATE's approval of an applicable
Finance Letter. STATE reserves the right to suspend future authorizations/obligations for
Federal aid projects, or encumbrances for State funded projects, as well as to suspend
invoice payments for any on-going or future project by ADMINISTERING AGENCY if
PROJECT costs have not been invoiced by ADMINISTERING AGENCY for a six-month
period.
If no costs have been invoiced for a six-month period, ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to
submit for each phase a written explanation of the absence of PROJECT activity along with
target billing date and target billing amount.
ADMINISTERING AGENCY agrees to submit the final report documents that collectively
constitute a "Report of Expenditures" within one hundred eighty (180) days of PROJECT
completion. Failure of ADMINISTERING AGENCY to submit a "Final Report of Expenditures"
within 180 days of PROJECT completion will result in STATE imposing sanctions upon
ADMINISTERING AGENCY in accordance with the current Local Assistance Procedures
Manual.

F. Administering Agency shall not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, age, disability,
color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any Federal-assisted contract or
in the administration of its DBE Program Implementation Agreement. The Administering
Agency shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure
nondiscrimination in the award and administration of Federal-assisted contracts. The
Administering Agency's DBE Implementation Agreement is incorporated by reference in this
Agreement. Implementation of the DBE Implementation Agreement, including but not limited
to timely reporting of DBE commitments and utilization, is a legal obligation and failure to carry
out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this Agreement. Upon notification to the
Administering Agency of its failure to carry out its DBE Implementation Agreement, the State
may impose sanctions as provided for under 49 CFR Part 26 and may, in appropriate cases,
refer the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil
Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. 3801 et seq.).
G. Any State and Federal funds that may have been encumbered for this project are
available for disbursement for limited periods of time. For each fund encumbrance the limited
period is from the start of the fiscal year that the specific fund was appropriated within the
State Budget Act to the applicable fund Reversion Date shown on the State approved project
finance letter. Per Government Code Section 16304, all project funds not liquidated within
these periods will revert unless an executed Cooperative Work Agreement extending these
dates is requested by the ADMINISTERING AGENCY and approved by the California
Department of Finance.
ADMINISTERING AGENCY should ensure that invoices are submitted to the District Local
Assistance Engineer at least 75 days prior to the applicable fund Reversion Date to avoid the
lapse of applicable funds. Pursuant to a directive from the State Controller's Office and the
Department of Finance; in order for payment to be made, the last date the District Local
Assistance Engineer can forward an invoice for payment to the Department's Local Programs
Accounting Office for reimbursable work for funds that are going to revert at the end of a
particular fiscal year is May 15th of the particular fiscal year. Notwithstanding the unliquidated
sums of project specific State and Federal funding remaining and available to fund project
work, any invoice for reimbursement involving applicable funds that is not received by the
Department's Local Programs Accounting Office at least 45 days prior to the applicable fixed
fund Reversion Date will not be paid. These unexpended funds will be irrevocably reverted by
the Department's Division of Accounting on the applicable fund Reversion Date.
H. As a condition for receiving federal-aid highway funds for the PROJECT, the Administering
Agency certifies that NO members of the elected board, council, or other key decision makers
are on the Federal Government Exclusion List. Exclusions can be found at www.sam.gov.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: January 14, 2025
Department: Administration
Submitted By: Sylvia Lopez Cuevas, City Clerk

Home Rent Appeals Board, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Senior
Citizens Advisory Commission, with Terms Expiring December 31, 2028
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive a Report of Councilmember Elward, Councilmember Rodriguez, and Mayor Giudice’s
Appointments to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, Mobile Home Rent Appeals
Board, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Senior Citizens Advisory Commission, with
Terms Expiring December 31, 2028.
BACKGROUND:
The Maddy Act requires the City to prepare a list of all boards, commissions, and committee
appointments made by the City Council no later than December 31 of each year. This list is
also known as the Local Appointments List or Maddy Act List. The Maddy Act List contains

the incumbent appointee, the date of appointment, the date the term expires, and the
necessary qualifications for the position.
b. A list of all boards, commissions, and committees whose members serve at the
pleasure of the legislative body, and the necessary qualifications for each position.
The City Clerk posted the abovementioned list on September 10, 2024 (See attachment 1.)
City Council Protocols XI.A.1. requires all persons interested in being considered for service on a
City board, commission, or committee have an application on file with the Clerk’s Office. In
October 2024, the Committee, Commission, and Board members were advised of their expiring

8. Distribution of flyers at community events such as the Farmers Market Latino Night, etc.
9. Posting on the City’s Fall Recreational Guide.
Approximately 73 (seventy) applications were forwarded to the appointing councilmembers for
review and selection.
ANALYSIS:
Most commissions, committees, and boards established by the City Council are advisory to the
City Council. The role of all such commissions, committees, or boards is to make
recommendations to the City Council on matters affecting the City of Rohnert Park. Except as
otherwise provided by state or local law, commissions and committees have no independent
role separate and apart from their role as advisory to the City Council. Commissions,
committees, and boards have no authority to appropriate funds or make policy except as
otherwise approved by the City Council.
For City commissions, committees, and boards with five (5) members, each Councilmember
shall be entitled to appoint one member (City Council Protocols Section XI.A.2.). All other
commissions, committees, and boards not divisible by five (5) shall be selected by the Council
as a whole on an “at-large” basis.
Although the City of Rohnert Park transitioned to a by-district elections system, it is not
required that Councilmembers appoint members within their respective district.
The following is a report on Vice Mayor Elward’s appointments:
Jan Ogren Re-Appointment Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee
Carla A. Taylor Re-Appointment Mobile Home Rent Appeals Board
An appointment will be

Committee
An appointment will be

Appointment Mobile Home Rent Appeals Board
Ty Mooney Appointment Parks and Recreation Commission
An appointment will be

Appointment Senior Citizens Advisory Commission
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is not a Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). It does not
qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines
Sections 15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3), and because it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility the City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
Making appointments to City Committees, Commissions, and Boards supports the City’s values
of communication and collaboration and Goal A “Practice Leadership at all Levels” as well as
Goal D “Continue to Develop a Vibrant Community.”
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended Option: Staff recommends Council accept this report, which will confirm
the aforementioned appointments being made.
2. No other options are recommended as each Councilmember is entitled to appoint one
member. No vote from the Council is required for the acceptance of this report.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
None.

A. Appointments to City Commissions, Committees, and Boards
The following procedures will be used in considering appointments by the City
Council to the various City commissions, committees, and boards which extend for
a term in excess of six (6) months:
1. All persons interested in being considered for service on a City board,
commission, or committee must have on file with the City an application (fact-

Councilmembers may not appoint city employees to serve in City Committees,
Commissions and Board.
2. For City commissions, committees, and boards with five (5) members, each
Councilmember shall be entitled to appoint one member. All other
commissions, committees, and boards not divisible by five (5) shall be selected
by the Council as a whole on an “at-large” basis.
3. At-large nominees must receive a majority vote of the City Council membership
in order to be appointed.
4. Nominations/appointments are made on a rotation basis. Rotation order is by
seniority, based on 1) the date first elected to City Council to present continuous
period of service and 2) the number of votes received in the event of a tie in
period of service. In circumstances in which two members have the same tenure
on the City Council, the number of votes received in the election determines the
position in the sequence, with the Councilmember receiving the highest number
of votes being first. If a Councilmember is appointed to fill a mid-term vacancy,
that Councilmember will go to the bottom of the rotational list. The City Clerk
shall keep a record of the appointments and the Councilmembers’ rotation order.
The rotation order shall stay intact for future appointments unless amended or
rescinded.
5. Whenever an appointed member of a commission, committee, or board vacates
a term of office, the Councilmember who nominated/appointed said person, or
the Councilmember’s successor in office, shall be entitled to make the
appointment to complete the term ofoffice.
6. Whenever a vacancy occurs on a City commission, committee, or board, the
City Clerk shall post a notice of the vacancy notifying the public of the vacancy
to be filled and the date that applications will be considered to fill the vacancy
in compliance with the Maddy Act.
7. The City Council may establish committees, commissions, boards, or other
taskforces with a nomination/appointment process as the Council deems
appropriate.
B. Policy for Service on City Commissions, Committees, and Boards
1. Attendance
Members of commissions, committees, and boards are expected to attend meetings
on a regular and consistent basis. Board members, commissioners, and committee
members should inform the staff liaison in advance if they are unable to attend a
meeting. Absence without cause from three consecutive regular meetings or more
than three regular meetings within a twelve-month period shall be deemed an
automatic resignation. Cause means “illness or other unavoidable circumstance of
which the staff is notified prior to the meeting.” Vacations and other travel are not
cause. The City clerk shall notify the appointing Councilmember and issue a notice
of automatic resignation and post the vacancy.

City Council serves at the pleasure of the City Council. Any Councilmember may
bring forward a proposal to remove a board, commission, or committee member.
Three (3) affirmative votes of the City Council are required to remove a member of
a board, commission, or committee.
3. Role
Most commissions, committees, and boards established by the City Council are
advisory to the City Council. The role of all such commission, committee, or board
is to make recommendations to the City Council on matters affecting the City of
Rohnert Park. Except as otherwise provided in state or local law, commissions and
committees have no independent role separate and apart from their role as advisory
to the City Council. Commissions, committees, and boards have no authority to
appropriate funds or make policy except as otherwise approved by the City Council.

Meeting Date: January 14, 2025
Department: Public Works and Public Safety
Submitted By: Tim Mattos, Director of Public Safety and Vanessa Garrett, Director of Public
Works
Agenda Title: Receive an Informational Presentation on Recent Storm and Flood
Events in the City, Discuss and Provide Direction Regarding Storm
Drainage System Assessment and Flood Mitigation Strategies
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Receive a presentation on storm and flood events by City staff; and
2. Discuss and provide direction on pursuing further studies of the City’s storm drainage
system to identify issues, propose solutions, and determine whether a regional or local
effort is required.
BACKGROUND:
Flood Plain Administration
Flood hazards are determined and mitigated during the planning and entitlement process when a
new subdivision is created and is regulated by the City’s Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 15.48.
The CMC requires that subdivisions construct homes such that “…All new construction or
substantial improvements of residential structures shall have the lowest floor, including
basement…” elevated at least one foot above the base flood elevation. The CMC does not have
provisions for keeping flooding out of garages, yards, and roadways when considering
development or substantial improvements throughout the City limits, whether the development is
in a designated flood plain or outside of it. For manufactured homes, the CMC has different
requirements, allowing in certain instances for construction at or below the base flood elevation
in flood hazard areas.
Regional Creek Geography
The City of Rohnert Park has several major channels running through it:
• Coleman Creek
• Spivok Creek
• Hinebaugh Creek
• Copeland Creek
• Laguna De Santa Rosa
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. 8.A

All of the channels listed above drain into the Laguna De Santa Rosa, which eventually connects
to the Russian River and the Pacific Ocean. Historically, the City of Rohnert Park includes
several locations where flooding can occur, and is shown in Attachment 1. These areas flood
when there is nowhere for water to flow downstream, and water starts backing up into roadways
from City storm drains connected to the inundated creeks. Most flooding in the areas located in
Attachment 1 are due to creeks backing up into the storm drain system which comes out into the
streets, yards, and sidewalks, and excessive surface water runoff in a short period of time.
Staff met with residents in a section of the north-eastern Rohnert Park (Heartwood Drive, Hawk
Haven, Hummingbird, Hermitage Way) on the following date:
• January 7th, 2025
Staff also met with residents of Rancho Verde Mobile Home Park on the following date:
• January 8th, 2025
During these community meetings, staff provided maps and resources for planning for storm
events. The request received by these residents is to come up with a solution to not have streets/
yards/ property flood. Residents recalled that during a large storm event in 2005, garages, HVAC
equipment, foundations, and yards were flooded and damaged. The residents also recommended
prioritizing coming up with quick solutions along with a long-term plan to potentially see relief
sooner.
Staff also meets with Sonoma Water (Sonoma County Water Agency) regularly, which is the
agency that manages the creeks County-wide from a hydraulic standpoint, and does regular
removal of sediment and debris that would impede flow during a storm event. Staff will be
meeting to discuss this year’s upcoming sediment removal projects within the City limits.
ANALYSIS:
Staff in both Public Safety and Public Works operate under internal protocols for normal storm
events, but if the City declares the event an emergency, an Emergency Operation Center (EOC)
would open and all operations would defer to those protocols. Attachment 2 shows the structure
of the EOC, with a dedicated Public Information Officer, finance, planning, logistics, and
operational sections.
Public works storm event prep and outline
The Public Works Department follows an internal storm event protocol that includes operational
procedures for:
• Pre event preparation: These tasks include clearing drains, coordinating with Recology
for street and debris sweeping, and preparing the storm bag area for residents.
• During storm event: These tasks include placing flooding signage where appropriate,
removing downed trees, unplugging storm drain inlets, and keeping the sand bag area
full.
• Post storm event: Cleaning debris and street sweeping, repairing any damaged public
areas, pothole repairs
Staff is seeking direction on a more proactive approach requiring the studying of our storm
drainage system, understanding the issues, providing recommendations for addressing them, and
ITEM NO. 8.A

whether it would require a regional or local effort. Staff recommends including two-phases for
the recommendations once the issues are understood:
• Phase 1: Recommendations for improvements that include less expensive but partially
effective flood mitigation techniques.
• Phase 2: Recommendations for long-term solutions for flooding adaptation.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does
not qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines
Sections 15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility the City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
This item is consistent with City Council Goal 3 (Planning and infrastructure), the City’s value
of communication, and the City’s strategic priority Goal C “Ensure the effective delivery of
public services
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
There is no immediate fiscal impact of the City Council receiving this report. If direction is to
prepare a planning document or other additional documents, staff will return with staffing and
contract budget requests, which likely will be a one-time contract of $500k or more and recurring
costs of a full-time employee to lead and manage the effort as well as other options of replacing
tasks with this assignment.

Department: Public Works
Submitted By: Vanessa Garrett, Director of Public Works
Prepared By: Eydie Tacata, Senior Public Works Analyst
Agenda Title: Receive an Informational Presentation, Discuss and Provide Direction to
Staff Regarding the Rohnert Park Active Transportation Plan (CEQA
Status: Exempt Under CEQA Guidelines §§ 15061)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive a presentation by City staff and project consultant and provide direction on Rohnert Park
Active Transportation Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The Rohnert Park Active Transportation Plan (ATP) is an update to the Rohnert Park Bicycle
and Pedestrian Master Plan adopted in 2014. The ATP is being developed as part of the
Countywide Active Transportation Plan through a grant awarded to the Sonoma County
Transportation Authority (SCTA) and contract held by SCTA. The ATP includes goals, policies,
projects, and supportive programs that are intended to be consistent with the City’s General Plan
and its policies, and complement existing land use plans, complete street transportation
strategies, and community development objectives set forth in the broader document.
Since the initial kick-off of the ATP update effort in July 2023, City staff and SCTA have
worked closely with the consultant team, Fehr & Peers (which is also part of the City’s General
Plan consultant team), to gather data and establish existing conditions, conduct technical
analyses, and develop draft contents for the City’s Active Transportation Plan. Community
engagement, both in-person and online, as well as consultation with the Rohnert Park Planning
Commission and the Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) have been key to
developing the draft ATP. Public meetings and events have included:
• Rohnert Park Planning Commission and BPAC joint meetings in October 2023; May and
November 2024
• BPAC meetings in September and October 2023; February, April, May, and June 2024
• Pop-up Events: Sonoma State University in Sept 2023, Raley's in November 2023,
Summer Kick-off Expo in May 2024
• Online Web Map and Survey: Fall 2023 & Spring 2024
• Public Workshop: June 2024 at Community Center Lounge
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a

ITEM NO. 8.B.

• Online posting of Draft ATP and collection of comments: November 2024
• Social media postings about Draft ATP availability in Fall 2023, Spring – Fall 2024.
The resulting draft ATP is attached and presented for Rohnert Park City Council review and
discussion.
ANALYSIS:
Active transportation – walking, biking, and other forms of human-powered travel – plays a
critical role in the overall quality of life in Rohnert Park. It promotes healthy lifestyles, reduces
traffic congestion, decreases our environmental footprint, and improves access to the city’s most
valued amenities.
The ATP is an Implementation Document of the City’s General Plan
The City’s General Plan sets forth broad policy goals for land use, transportation, environmental
management and stewardship, and community health, and also provides overarching
programmatic and physical standards, such as street classifications and allowable uses in the
right-of-way. As an implementation document of the City’s General Plan, the ATP provides
more detailed strategies that conform to the parameters of the General Plan. The ATP provides
guidance to the public and the City for the programs and improvements necessary to develop and
maintain an effective, robust and equitable active transportation network.
The City’s General Plan intends to incorporate the bicycle and pedestrian feature maps and
language into Section 7 (Circulation Element). The ATP informs the General Plan’s bicycle and
pedestrian circulation element almost entirely, and the ATP recommendations are in line with
general road layouts described in the draft General Plan. For example, if a minor arterial requires
no parking and prefers separated bike lanes, the ATP has tailored recommendations as such.
The document is used by the City to develop and prioritize the City’s transportation and public
works projects, ranging from simple bike lane striping updates with regular paving to more
complex and long-term projects like new creek crossings or off-street multi-use paths. The ATP
is also consulted as private development projects are reviewed, in order to ensure that
appropriate land dedications occur and/or active transportation facilities are constructed as a part
of the development, for example, frontage improvements like widened sidewalks and pedestrian
lighting. The adoption and maintenance of a current active transportation plan is also required to
qualify for many regional, state, and federal grants.
2025 ATP Reflects Current Active Transportation Planning Practices
Overall, this ATP update focuses on:
• All Ages and Abilities – Creating spaces for people to walk, bike, and roll that are low-
stress and lower risk to create more opportunities for more people to walk, bike, and roll.
• Regional Coordination - Identifying and planning regional routes between jurisdictions
as part of the larger Countywide ATP.
• Implementation – Prioritizing projects and identifying funding to focus and streamline
implementation.
It is worth noting that the ATP is guided by the intent to develop a “low-stress” network, which
is a different approach than that of the prior Rohnert Park Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan,
ITEM NO. 8.B.
3
which emphasized network expansion. A "low-stress network" in transportation refers to a
system of roads, bike paths, and sidewalks designed to minimize traffic stress created by high-
traffic roads. If given a safer and more comfortable experience, more people would choose to
travel on foot or by bike.
For this updated ATP, a Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) analysis was conducted which assessed the
stress level of the City’s streets based on factors like traffic volume, speed limits, lane
configuration, and presence of dedicated bike lanes, helping to identify areas needing
improvement to create low-stress routes. While the LTS analysis focuses on bicycle travel,
improvements for bicyclists generally translate into improved conditions for pedestrians, as well.
This is particularly true for crossing conditions, as improvements that lower stress for bicyclists
often reduce motor vehicle travel speed or shorten crossing distances for pedestrians.
The draft ATP reflects treatments and techniques that create low-stress environments including
projects that feature:
• Physical separation: Utilizing dedicated bike lanes with physical barriers separating
cyclists from motor vehicle traffic, creating a safer environment.
• Traffic calming techniques: Implementing measures like curb extensions, narrowed
lanes, and medians to slow down vehicle traffic on shared roadways.
• Design for all abilities: Incorporating features like wider sidewalks, curb ramps, and
accessible intersections to accommodate people with disabilities.
• Signal optimization: Adjusting traffic signal timings to prioritize pedestrian and cyclist
crossings.
• Bike boulevards: Designated residential streets with reduced traffic volumes and signage
prioritizing cyclists and pedestrians, often with traffic calming measures.
• Connectivity: Ensuring a continuous network of low-stress routes that connect key
destinations, minimizing the need to navigate high-traffic roads.
The emphasis on creating a low-stress network is in line with the goals of Sonoma County
Vision Zero Action Plan and the City’s Local Road Safety Plan. By providing a more welcoming
and safe environment, a low-stress network can encourage more people to walk, bike, or use
other non-motorized transportation options, thereby improving public health, reducing traffic
congestion, and lowering carbon emissions.
2025 ATP Includes Actionable As Well As Ambitious Projects
Striking a balance between visionary, long-term goals and actionable, immediate priorities is key
in crafting an effective active transportation plan. While it is essential to prioritize feasible, near-
term initiatives that are grounded in current resources, community needs and existing
infrastructure, the listing of ambitious projects in the ATP lays the foundation for a more
transformed, regionally comprehensive network in the future. Complex active transportation
projects can take years and may be implemented in smaller segments, by multiple agencies, or
multiple phases due to assembling project funding over time, coordination with other projects or
utilities, regulatory approvals, and community engagement necessary to ensure project success.
Specifically with regard to funding, it is important to recognize that complex long-term projects
must be listed in the local Active Transportation Plan, as well as in regional plans (e.g. Sonoma
County Comprehensive Transportation Plan) to even apply for significant sources of Federal and
State funding. For this reason, ambitious projects are included in the ATP.
ITEM NO. 8.B.

ATP Projects That Pose Both Opportunity and Challenge
While all of the projects in the ATP will improve the network and experience for non-motorized
travel, certain projects along major intra-City routes, both north-south and east-west, pose both
great opportunity, as well as challenge. All of these have historically had complaints of high
motorist speeds, concern about a lack of bike facility or biking uncomfortably close to traffic, or
safety for students along a route to school. These conditions and deficiencies on these segments
would be improved by the installation of projects proposed in the ATP:
• Golf Course Drive between Country Club Drive and Snyder Lane. The ATP project
proposed for this segment is to install a multi-use path (ATP Project #57), described as
follows: “Install multiuse path along/parallel to Golf Course Drive. Options for design
could include widening existing sidewalk along north side of Golf Course Drive… and/or
stretches where the facility is a bidirectional or unidirectional raised separated bike lane
that replaces existing bike lanes.” City staff are in early stages of design of an upcoming
paving project, and on-street bike lanes may be considered on this segment. Parking will
have to be eliminated if this option is chosen and implemented.
• Snyder Lane between Rohnert Park Expressway and East Cotati. The ATP project
proposed for this segment is to install a multi-use path (ATP Project #61). The ATP
describes as follows: “Install multiuse path along east side of Snyder Lane. The following
are considerations for designing and implementing such a multi-use path.
o Improvements to Snyder Lane should be coordinated with ongoing roadway
widening efforts.
o Narrowing vehicle lanes where possible would create addition space that could
be used for the multi-use path.
o Installation of a multi-use path without removal of a through vehicle lanes would
likely require expanding the existing sidewalk to be inclusive of the existing bike
lane and reclassifying space as a multi-use path, particularly in the segment south
of Medical Center Drive. A minimum of 12 feet should be maintained for the
multi-use path.
Further description of the additional project considerations is included in the ATP. This
is an ambitious project that would especially provide a continuous, separated and safer
bike facility serving several schools.
• Country Club Drive between Hinebaugh Creek and Golf Course Drive: The ATP
project proposed for this segment is to install a multi-use path (ATP Project #33). The
ATP describes as follows: “Install multi-use path between Golf Course Drive and
Hinebaugh Creek Greenway. Install pedestrian enhancements to include high-visibility
striping, ADA directional curb ramps and bulbouts where feasible.” Because of the
narrow width of Country Club Drive vehicular travel lanes, a multi-use path would only
fit in the area now occupied by the wide turf median. This is an ambitious project that
would provide a north-south route through the City where the only other north-south
alternatives are Snyder Lane and the SMART multi-use path.
• Adrian Drive. The project proposed for this segment is the installation of buffered bike
lanes (ATP Project #4). In response to recent concerns from residents about car speeding,
ITEM NO. 8.B.
5
City staff are presently scoping a traffic calming pilot project for Adrian Drive between
Southwest Boulevard and Arlen Drive. The pilot project will include one or more quick-
build traffic circles and other measures to mitigate speeds. Post-installation observations
and data will be collected on user behaviors on the corridor. While this draft ATP
presently proposes buffered on-street bike lanes for the full length of Adrian Drive – and
parking would have to be eliminated on a section of Adrian Drive if bike lanes are
installed – the traffic calming project and implementation of adjacent bike routes (for
example, a bike boulevard on Santa Barbara Drive, ATP Project #5) may mean the
proposed Adrian Drive ATP project could be revised as a different facility.
• State Farm Drive. The project proposed for this segment is separated bike lanes (ATP
Project #10). The ATP describes as follows: “Coordinate with Central Rohnert Park
PDA Plan, which outlines options and considerations for configuring existing right-of-
way.” This corridor includes the Downtown area, which is being developed as a vibrant
focal point in the City with both a local and regional draw. The ATP will lean on existing
adopted documents and plans such the Central Rohnert Park PDA Plan and Form-Based
Code which have considered how to balance bike facilities with car parking for the
intensified uses in the Downtown. The ATP does pay particular attention to treatments at
the signalized and unsignalized intersections to increase safety for bicyclists and
pedestrians in the Downtown area.
City staff are highlighting these particular projects as there will be need for the City to work with
all stakeholders on issues such as parking and landscaping. However, there is much to be gained
by implementing ATP project such as these to provide solutions to problems frequently cited by
community members and broad users of the City’s street network.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The Council’s consideration of the informational report on the ATP does not itself have an
environmental impact.
The adoption of the ATP qualifies for a statutory exemption from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to SB 922 (Wiener, 2022), which amended Public Resources Code
Sections 21080.20 and 21080.25 to exempt Bicycle Transportation Plans and projects that meet
certain conditions. Additionally, the general exemption in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)
provides for projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no potential for significant
environmental effects.
The physical improvements included in the ATP will be subject to future environmental review
when specific projects are proposed.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
The ATP is consistent with City Council Goal 3 (Planning and infrastructure).
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
There is no immediate fiscal impact of the City Council receiving this report, discussing the
ATP, and providing direction to staff, which may include future adoption of the ATP. The ATP
was primarily developed through a grant awarded to the SCTA and $40,000 budgeted in the City
Capital Improvements Plan for the Active Transportation Plan Update (City Project No.
ITEM NO. 8.B.
6
CIP2302) for staff time to coordinate with the consultant team developing the ATP, attend
meetings, and engage with the public.
The ATP includes programs and projects that will require staff time and City resources if the
City chooses to implement them. Section 6 of the ATP (Implementation: Local Considerations)
provides unit cost estimates for the projects contained in the ATP. Project unit cost estimations
were developed to provide a general idea of the anticipated costs for each proposed project type
(i.e. multi-use path, signalized crossing improvement, sidewalk installation, etc.).
These projects are a combination of improvements which the City would be responsible for
designing and constructing (for example, installation of a new crosswalk in an already-developed
area of the community), or that would be the responsibility of private landowners when
development projects are proposed (for example, frontage improvements on a newly developed
parcel for example). Some projects can be easily incorporated during regular pavement
maintenance over the next 10 years, such as adding bike lanes, enhanced pedestrian crossings,
and better striping at intersections for bicyclists. Other projects are more complex, such as
adding to existing sidewalk to create a wide multi-use path. Some of these may include things
like removing trees to widen pathways for bikes and pedestrians.
Section 6 of the ATP also identifies funding sources available to fund the projects and programs
in the plan. In addition to local sources such as the Capital Improvement Program and developer
impact fees, Section 6 presents a list of competitive grants and formula-based funding programs
for consideration to address the financial needs of the projects within the plan. The section
identifies 21 regional, state, and federal funding sources currently available.

1. Introduction
The 2025 Rohnert Park Active
Transportation Plan (ATP) was developed as
a component of the Sonoma County
Transportation Authority‘s (SCTA’s) 2025
Countywide Active Transportation Plan
(Countywide ATP) effort. This plan focuses
on improving active transportation
connections within the city and creating low
stress connections to surrounding
jurisdictions. The Rohnert Park ATP is also a
stand-alone document, which the City of
Rohnert Park can use to guide
implementation of local projects, policies,
and programs.
The primary emphasis of this planning effort
is to increase access to active transportation
modes by planning for infrastructure projects
and supportive programs. Active
transportation refers to “human-powered”
modes of travel, like walking, biking, or using
mobility devices. Creating an environment
that encourages a shift from automobile trips
to walking or biking trips also promotes
improvements to mental and physical health,
air quality, reduces noise, and improves
social equity. A safer and more connected
network gives members of the community
flexibility in their travel, so they do not need to
rely on a personal vehicle to travel through
the city and larger region.
Projects are prioritized based on the needs
highlighted by the community and city staff.
Policies and programs are in line with the
city’s near-term plans and funding priorities.
The previous Rohnert Park Bicycle and
Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) adopted in
2008 and last updated in 2014 identified a
general expansion of walking and biking
facilities. Since the 2014 BPMP was
updated, several changes and
advancements have been made in the state
of active transportation planning practices.
For example, SCTA adopted Vision Zero in
2021, which is a regional commitment to
eliminate traffic fatalities and serious
injuries through engineering, programs,
policies, and education. The City of Rohnert
Park subsequently adopted the Vision Zero
Action Plan locally. There have also been
policy changes at the national and state
level acknowledging a greater need for more
robust infrastructure, programs, and policies
to make walking and biking safer. With
those and other similar advancements in
mind, this plan focuses on:
• All Ages and Abilities – Creating
spaces for people to walk, bike, and
roll that are low-stress and lower risk
to create more opportunities for more
people to walk, bike, and roll.
• Regional Coordination – Identifying
and planning regional routes between
jurisdictions as part of the larger
Countywide ATP.
• Implementation – Prioritizing projects
and identifying funding to focus and
streamline implementation.
Low-stress network analysis was used to
identify opportunities to upgrade or enhance
existing or previously planned projects. The
network analysis considered community
and regional destinations, traffic safety, and
gaps in existing facilities to help inform
recommendations for enhanced or new
active transportation improvements.
Community input was gathered to ground
truth and expand findings from the network
analysis to create a robust project list and
supporting policy and programs.

2. Community Profile &
Walking, Biking &
Rolling Today
Community Characteristics and Travel Patterns
The City of Rohnert Park has a population of approximately 44,400 1 and shares a southwest
border with the City of Cotati. Rohnert Park is known for being family-friendly and features
many activities such as a mini golf course, bowling alley, roller rink, and batting cages. While
Sonoma State University (SSU) is outside of city limits, the campus is adjacent to the city
and staff and students live in Rohnert Park. This makes connections to and from the
University and other services vitally important. The Active Transportation Plan identifies
connections that encourage active transportation uses from residential areas to the
downtown area, Rohnert Park Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) station, and SSU.
In the past two decades, Rohnert Park has experienced growth, both in the development of
land uses and in the number of people residing within the city. This includes dense
residential infill development that has occurred on the westside of the city over the last ten
years with additional similar development still to occur. The city is also actively building out a
new downtown that will increase the number of services and destinations (e.g., retail,
commercial). Cultivating the east-west connection along the Rohnert Park Expressway will
encourage users to take active transportation modes while traveling through the city.
Approximately 66 percent of the city’s population is between the ages of 18 and 64 years old,
and 14 percent are 65 and older.2 Creating an environment that accommodates those of all
ages and abilities and supports the first and last mile connections to transit is crucial in
promoting and enabling more walking, biking, and rolling for daily travel needs. Census data
indicate one percent of workers currently bike or walk to work, one percent take transit, 76
percent use single occupancy vehicles, 10 percent carpool, nine percent work from home
and two percent take other means of transportation to work.
As the city continues to grow, there is a need for safer, low stress, and better-connected
walking, biking, and rolling facilities.
Road Safety in Rohnert Park
Per the Office of Traffic Safety, as of 2020, Rohnert Park is categorized as one of the 91
cities in Group D, cities with a population between 25,001 – 50,000 people. The city ranked
1 https://censusreporter.org/profiles/16000US0662546-rohnert-park-ca/
2 https://censusreporter.org/profiles/16000US0662546-rohnert-park-ca/

51 in the total fatal and injury collision category.3 Indicating that about half of the similar
sized cities in California had more fatal and injury collisions and half had fewer fatal and
injury collisions than Rohnert Park. The city’s 2022 Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP)
evaluated collision data from 2015 through 2020. There were three fatalities and 36 severe
injury traffic collisions during that time. There were eleven severe injury collisions involving
people walking or biking during this period. The city’s LRSP identified a higher number of
reported collisions along the Rohnert Park Expressway and Golf Course Drive.4
Existing Active Transportation Network Characteristics in
Rohnert Park
Today, Rohnert Park has a clear east-west and north-south bike lane connectivity well-
spaced continuous corridors such as Golf Course Drive, Rohnert Park Expressway, Cotati
Avenue, Redwood Drive, and Synder Lane. The city also has popular east-west multiuse
paths such as the SMART Trail, Copeland Creek Trail and Hinebaugh Trail. In addition to
those there are some bike routes that provide connections through residential communities.
The existing bike network provides basic coverage for individuals who are confident and
capable bike riders. There is an opportunity in Rohnert Park to draw more people to biking
and rolling by enhancing bike lanes on the higher volume and higher speed roads by adding
separation and protection for people biking, extending/closing gaps in the multi-use paths,
implementing traffic calming/speed management improvements on neighborhood streets,
and adding as well as enhancing existing crossings.
There are opportunities to improve active transportation connections between residential
and retail uses and existing trails and transit facilities throughout Rohnert Park. With the
SMART train station located in a central area along Rohnert Park Expressway, there is an
opportunity to create low-stress connections to and from the station and along the SMART
pathway that runs north-south. Additional low-stress east-west connections are needed
across the Highway 101 corridor and Golf Course Drive, as well as north-south connections
along Commerce Boulevard, Petaluma Hill Road, Redwood Drive, and Snyder Lane. The
following figures illustrate these opportunities.
Figure 1 illustrates the existing bikeway network. The bikeway network is organized into
several distinct facility types, detailed below. Buffered bike lanes and bike boulevards are not
part of the existing bikeway network but are part of the planned network discussed later in
this Plan.
• Multi-Use Paths (Class I) are fully separated bike and pedestrian paths. They follow
their own alignment sometimes parallel to a street, waterway, and/or other
configuration through open space or undeveloped areas. Interactions with vehicles
are limited to street trail crossings.

• Bike Lanes (Class II) are on-street bike facilities that use a white line or stripe (i.e.,
longitudinal pavement marking) to designate space on the street for bicyclists that is
adjacent to a vehicle lane.
• Buffered Bike Lanes (Class IIB) increase space between the bike lane and vehicle
travel lane(s) using a painted buffer. The painted buffer is often made up of two
parallel white lines with diagonal white lines painted between them. Green pavement
markings can be used at driveways or intersections to draw attention to where vehicle
paths cross bicyclists’ paths.
• Bike Routes (Class III) are shared facilities between bicyclists and motor vehicles.
Bicyclists ride in the vehicle lane. Bike routes are sometimes used to provide a
connection to another bike facility or designated bike route. “Sharrows” (shared-lane
markings) may be used to alert motorists to the presence of on-street bicyclists.
Signs may also be used to mark the route.
• Bike Boulevards (Class IIIB) are streets designed to give priority to people walking and
biking. Bicycle boulevards are streets with one vehicle lane in each direction and
traffic calming treatments are used to slow vehicle speeds to under 25 mph and
discourage non-local vehicle traffic. Treatments can include some combination of
speed tables, raised crosswalks, speed humps, traffic diverters, chicanes, curb
extensions at crosswalks, and/or neighborhood traffic circles at intersections.
Advisory Bike Lanes could be an alternative facility for existing or planned bike
boulevards (or bike routes)5.
• Separated Bike Lanes (Class IV) are on-street bike facilities that include physical
separation between bicyclists and vehicle traffic. Ideally, the physical separation
provides protection to the bicyclist through use of materials such as concrete
medians (with or without landscaping), planters, and/or the bike lane could be
separated by a curb to raise the bike lane to either sidewalk height or an intermediate
height. Green pavement markings can be used at driveways or intersections to draw
attention to where vehicle paths cross bicyclists’ paths as well as additional
intersection treatments to enhance safety.
The existing transit network, as illustrated in Figure 2, includes transit services and amenities
within or immediately adjacent to Rohnert Park. Bikes are allowed on SMART trains and
service is provided throughout Sonoma and Marin counties on approximately 30-60 minute
headways on weekdays and approximately 60-90 minute headways on weekends. Sonoma
County Transit (SCT) buses are equipped with bike racks and provide both local service
(routes 10, 12, and 14) and intercity service (routes 44 and 48) on weekdays and weekends.
Golden Gate Transit (GGT) buses are equipped with bike racks and service is provided on 45-
90 minute headways on weekdays via routes 101/172/172x and 55-65 minute headways on
weekends via route 101. GGT provides connections to destinations in Sonoma and Marin
counties as well as San Francisco. During the school year, additional buses are deployed to
accommodate school commutes from all parts of the Rohnert Park and Cotati to the middle
school and the high school, located in Rohnert Park. Transit routes are provided along major
5 fhwa.dot.gov/environment/bicycle_pedestrian/publications/small_towns/fhwahep17024_lg.pdf
6
arterials and collectors throughout the city but existing gaps in the sidewalk network and the
bike network are a barrier to people walking and biking to transit stops.
As described above, to enable more people to walk, bike and roll, and to use these modes to
access transit, the spaces built to support those uses need to be safe and comfortable.
Figure 3 illustrates the results of a Level of Traffic Stress analysis used to gauge level of
comfort traveling along a given street. Figure 3 also denotes the streets within Rohnert Park
that were identified as part of SCTA’s High Injury Network 6 (HIN) developed as part of
SCTA’s Vision Zero Action Plan.7
An LTS 1 rating indicates the least stressful (most comfortable) facilities. Low stress (LTS 1
or 2) facilities in Rohnert Park include the SMART Trail and the Copeland Creek Trail. LTS 4
indicates the most stressful (least comfortable) facilities. High stress facilities in Rohnert
Park overlap with the HIN segments on the Rohnert Park Expressway, Snyder Lane,
Commerce Boulevard, and Redwood Drive. These roads represent vital connection points
throughout the city.
Defining Level of Traffic Stress
Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) analysis takes different travel corridor characteristics into
consideration, including the number of travel lanes, speed of traffic, number of vehicles,
presence of bike lanes, width of bike lanes, and presence of physical barriers providing
protection from traffic. Based on these variables, a bike facility can be rated with an LTS
ranging from 1 to 4.
The least stressful (most comfortable) facilities are assigned an LTS 1 rating. Facilities with this
rating are typically shared-use paths, separated bikeways, low-volume and low-speed bike
routes, and bike lanes on calm and narrow streets. The most stressful (least comfortable)
facilities are assigned an LTS 4 rating. Facilities with this rating are typically major arterials with
multiple lanes of traffic (with or without bike lanes in some cases, depending on speeds) or
narrower streets with higher speed limits.
6 The High Injury Network is a compilation of road segments with an elevated risk of crashes resulting in an
injury or fatality, identified through an analysis of the frequency, severity, and mode of past crashes.

3. Community & Stakeholder
Engagement
Initial outreach for the Rohnert Park ATP began in the fall of 2023. In coordination with city
staff, staff from other participating jurisdictions, and SCTA, the Countywide ATP project
team prepared a Stakeholder Coordination Plan and Community Engagement Plan to guide
community engagement and milestone presentations to local and regional advisory bodies
and relevant committees. More details on the countywide community and stakeholder
engagement approaches and outcomes are detailed in the 2025 Countywide ATP.
The first community outreach event in Rohnert Park was a pop-up hosted by SCTA at the
10th Annual State of the Latinx Community Address at Sonoma State University in
September 2023. This was followed by another pop-up event at the Rohnert Park Raley’s in
November 2023. This event gathered input from the general public on existing conditions for
walking and biking in Rohnert Park.
In October 2023, the Countywide ATP project team published a project webpage and online
survey and distributed it through the City of Rohnert Park website, social media, and the
city’s November newsletter. SCTA/RCPA also distributed the webpage and survey through
its newsletter, mailing list, and social media. During the first round of outreach in Fall 2023,
66 comments were received in Rohnert Park. During the second round of outreach, an
additional 19 comments were received, for a total of 85 comments.
Project Web Map Survey with 85 comments in Rohnert Park
12
In general, public feedback received
through the first and second rounds
of outreach in 2023 & 2024 revealed
the following themes:
• Biking: more separated bike
lanes wide enough to
accommodate all types of
bikes, incentives for bike
parking at businesses and
multi-unit residences, and
more opportunities for bikes
of all sizes on transit
• Walking: upgrade sidewalks
to ensure ADA compliance (move obstacles such as street signs, utility poles),
improve existing and add new crossings, widen sidewalks
• Traffic calming: implement treatments on collectors and residential streets
• Trails: improve trail entrances making it easier for bikes to access, create better
transitions from trails to streets, create more public access to land
• Destinations: implement citywide wayfinding to connect people to key locations and
walking/biking routes
• Roadways: reduce vehicle speed on roadways, more active transportation
improvements are needed near schools, and along Rohnert Park Expressway, Golf
Course Drive, Synder Lane, and Redwood Drive
City staff and the project team hosted an additional pop-up engagement event at the
Summer Kick-Off Expo in May 2024. This event gathered input from the general public on
proposed projects to improve conditions for walking and biking in Rohnert Park.
City staff and the project team presented the draft vision and goals, and a draft proposed
projects list to the Planning Commission and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee at
a joint meeting in May 2024. Comments received included support for safe routes to school
improvements, the need to coordinate with the school district and students on proposed
improvements as key stakeholders; and interest in developing a citywide
wayfinding program.
In collaboration with SCTA, city staff and the project team also hosted an open house in
June 2024 at the Rohnert Park Community Center. Feedback was gathered on draft
proposed projects and prioritization, draft programmatic recommendations, and the overall
Draft Plan. In November 2024, the Draft Plan was brought back to the Planning Commission
and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee at a joint meeting. Finally, in early 2025, city
staff and the project team presented the Draft Plan to City Council for adoption.

4. Vision & Goals
The vision and goals statements were developed to be consistent with SCTA’s
Comprehensive Transportation Plan, Moving Forward 2050, and were refined based on input
provided by SCTA’s Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, the Rohnert
Park Planning Commission, the Rohnert Park Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee,
and other regional committees. The City of Rohnert Park’s active transportation vision is as
follows:
“Our guiding principles are to improve safety, connectivity, equity, and quality of
life. Walking, biking, and rolling shall be safe and appealing modes for people of
all ages and abilities to use for everyday transportation and recreation.”
The city’s active transportation goals are the following:
1. Connected and Reliable – Deliver a continuous active transportation network that
links daily activities and housing, and that allows people of all ages and abilities to use
a variety of transportation types easily, affordably, and dependably.
2. Safe and Well-Maintained – Create and sustain a high-quality and low-stress active
transportation network. Employ Vision Zero and Safety Plan policies and strategies to
advance this goal.
3. Community Oriented and Place-Based – Tailor projects to the surrounding
community contexts and user profiles. Support a diversity of uses and users and
create community through active transportation programs and policies that prioritize
walking, biking, and rolling.
Rohnert Park also developed a series of Policies and Actions to guide implementation of the
ATP, which are aligned with these three goals and presented in Chapter 5’s Programs &
Policies section.

5. Advancing Active
Transportation
The following are the planned infrastructure and programmatic improvements for enhancing
active transportation in the City of Rohnert Park.
Infrastructure Improvements
Enhancing the safety and comfort of existing facilities as well as expanding the
infrastructure and spaces available for active transportation modes are critical to creating
opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to walk, bike, and roll. The section below
presents locations, extents, and brief descriptions of planned projects followed by a
summary of types of treatments and engineering resources the city may use in designing
and implementing the planned projects.
Considerations for Facility Type
As mentioned earlier in this Plan, the bikeway facilities are organized into several distinct
facility types (see page 4 and 5 for descriptions). The transportation planning and
engineering profession is evolving toward using Multi-Use Paths, Buffered Bike Lanes, Bike
Boulevards and Separated Bike Lanes as often as possible to increase safety and comfort
for people biking. Those facility types provide more separation between bicyclists and
moving vehicles and/or slow vehicle speeds to under 25 mph.
Table 1 summarizes the conditions under which each bike facility type is ideally applied.
16
Table 1. Bike Facility Selection for Urban, Suburban, Rural Town Centers1
Bike Facility Type Prevailing Vehicle Speed (mph) Vehicle Volume (vehicles per day)
Multi-Use Paths2 n/a n/a
Bike Lanes3 25 to 30 mph 3,000 to 6,500
Buffered Bike Lanes3 25 to 30 mph 3,000 to 6,500
Bike Routes4 Under 25 mph Less than 3,000
Bike Boulevards4 Under 25 mph Less than 3,000
Separated Bike Lanes5 30 mph and Higher 6,500 and Above
Notes:
(1) Table content summarized based on information in FHWA’s Bikeway Selection Guide.8
(2) Multi-use paths are off-street and follow their own alignment. They can be useful for providing parallel, low stress routes to
existing streets regardless of those streets volumes or speeds.
(3) Buffered Bike Lanes are preferred over Bike Lanes.
(4) Bike Boulevards are preferred over Bike Routes.
(5) Separated Bike Lanes physically separate bikes from moving vehicles using treatments that provide protection such as
medians, planters, or raising the bike lane to a height similar to a sidewalk.
The planned projects identify a facility type to either enhance existing facilities or close gaps
in the network. Generally speaking, facility type selection was informed by the information
summarized in Table 1 as well as considerations for feasibility and continuity with existing
land use and street context.
Planned Projects
Table 2 presents planned projects for enhancing walking, biking, and rolling conditions in
Rohnert Park, including bikeway, pedestrian crossing, and ADA improvements. It includes the
priority for each project. Tier 1 indicates high priority, Tier 2 medium priority, and Tier 3 low
priority. Section 6 describes the prioritization process. Rows highlighted in blue indicate a
project is within Caltrans right-of-way and will require coordination to implement. Project
locations with an “*” indicate additional project details are provided following Table 2.

Additional Project Details
The following expanded project descriptions are for select projects in Table 2. This additional
information is intended to aid city staff in future implementation of these projects. In some
instances, the expanded descriptions present options as to how the project could be
designed and/or specify treatments that could be included to improve walking or biking
conditions. As the projects below are developed further, city staff may choose, for a variety
of reasons, to implement the project in a manner different than what is described below. The
order below is the same order in which the projects are listed in Table 2.
Project 3: Camino Colegio from E Cotati Avenue to Bodway Parkway
Type: Separated Bike Lanes
Expanded Description: Enhance and extend separated bike lanes. In the near-term, add
vertical elements to existing separation on west side of Camino Colegio. Beyond near-term,
install separated bike lanes on each side of Camino Colegio. Minimum width of 7.5 feet with
mountable curb at 4:1 slope edge and 6.5 feet of rideable space. Based on existing paved
street width, appears feasible to implement by narrowing existing vehicle lanes to 11 feet
wide. NACTO design guidance here: https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-
guide/cycle-tracks/raised-cycle-tracks/
Project 10: State Farm Drive between Commerce Boulevard and Enterprise Drive
Type: Install Separated Bike Lanes
Expanded Description: Install separated bike lanes. Coordinate with Central Rohnert Park PDA
Plan, which outlines options and considerations for configuring existing right-of-way.
For signalized intersection along project extents, install protected intersection features that
include bike signals, bike phasing, two-stage bike turn boxes, bike cross-markings (or conflict
markings), high visibility markings for pedestrian crosswalks, crosswalks consistently across
each intersection leg, Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs) with No Right Turn on Red, or
protected signal phasing for pedestrians, and upgrade curb ramps to directional ramps
consistent with ADA requirements.
For unsignalized intersections along project extents, enhance existing marked pedestrian
crosswalks and new pedestrian crosswalks with treatments such as high visibility markings,
pedestrian refuge islands, advanced yield lines, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons and
other similar measures to reduce risk of collisions. Also, at unsignalized intersections,
include bike conflict markings (i.e., cross bike markings) and where appropriate based on
wayfinding and route connectivity, two-stage bike turn boxes.
Project 14: Labath Avenue between Business Park Drive and Laguna Drive
Type: Separated Bike Lanes
Expanded Description: Install separated bike lanes. Mark existing vehicle lanes (one per
direction) as 11 feet wide. Repurpose remaining 8 to 9 feet in width in each direction to a
separated bike lane. Upgrade intersections at project limits and within extents to align with
25
treatments needed for separated bike lane (e.g., bike cross markings, bike signal heads at
signalized intersections, etc.).
Project 15: Business Park Drive between Labath Avenue and Redwood Drive
Type: Separated Bike Lanes
Expanded Description: Install separated bike lanes. Mark existing vehicle lanes (one per
direction) as 11 feet wide. Repurpose remaining 8 to 9 feet in width in each direction to a
separated bike lane. Upgrade intersections at project limits and within extents to align with
treatments needed for separated bike lane (e.g., bike cross markings, bike signal heads at
signalized intersections, etc.).
Project 38: Redwood Drive and Golf Course Drive
Type: Crossing Improvements at Signalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvements at signalized intersection to improve
conditions for people walking and biking.
Specific improvements include the following:
(1) Mark crosswalk across north leg of the intersection. And add corresponding directional
curb ramps to the NW and NE corners.
(2) Add lighting such that both sides of each crosswalk are lit and each corner is
appropriately lit.
(3) Add a Two Stage Bike Turn Queue Box to SW, NE, and SE corners. Installation of the Two
Stage Bike Turn Queue Box in the NE corner is contingent upon implementing a NO RIGHT
TURN ON RED for the westbound approach. Installation of the Two Stage Bike Turn Queue
Box in the SE corner is contingent up on also installing a curb extension in the SE corner that
prevents the eastbound traffic from using the EB right-turn only lane as a through lane. If
changes are made to lane configurations per project 39, then curb extension would no longer
be needed.
(4) Add bike conflict markings (i.e., bike cross markings) through intersection to connect the
bike lanes that are oriented north-south along Redwood Drive.
(5) In coordination with Project 39, revise lane configurations to create space for wider and
consistent bike lanes on approach to and through the intersection and extending further east
to connect to bike lanes on Golf Course Drive at US 101 interchange.
Project 39: Hwy 101 SB Off-Ramp and Golf Course Drive
Type: Crossing Improvements at Signalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at signalized intersection to improve
conditions for people walking and biking.
Specific improvements include:
26
(1) Replace hatched pavement markings on east leg with raised concrete curb/expanded
sidewalk.
(2) Shift lanes on west leg south to create space for a designed buffered bike lane or
separated bike lane in WB direction.
(3) Update bike conflict markings (i.e., cross bike markings) to connect the existing bike
lanes with the new bike lanes.
Project 40: Commerce Boulevard and Golf Course Drive
Type: Crossing Improvement at Signalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at signalized intersection to improve
conditions for people walking and biking. Design and implement in coordination with
Project 67.
Specific improvements include:
(1) Add a marked crosswalk across the east leg of the intersection.
(2) Upgrade all curb ramps to directional curb ramps.
(3) Repurpose existing EB right-turn only lane to a raised separated bike lane in EB direction.
(4) Reconfigure EB lanes to one left-turn only, two through lanes, and one right-turn only lane
(where current right most through lane is at today).
(5) Extend curb/widen sidewalk in SE corner to remove outside receiving lane. No need for
three receiving lanes in the eastbound direction.
(6) Upgrade buffered bike lane in WB direction to a raised separated bike lane.
Project 41: Golf Course Drive and SMART Multi-Use Trail and Roberts Lake Road
Type: Crossing Improvement at Signalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at signalized intersection to improve walking
and biking conditions. Implement in coordination with Project 57.
Specific improvements include:
(1) Add bike conflict markings (i.e., bike cross markings) parallel to existing marked
crosswalks provide connection to/from bike lanes on Roberts Lake Road to the sidewalk that
connects to/from SMART Trail.
(2) Add bike signals to aid in bike crossing connection.
(3) In NW corner add a Two-Stage Bike Turn Queue Box to assist in access to SMART Trail
for WB bikes.
(4) Update signal phasing to include bike signals and protected phasing for bikes and
pedestrians to cross Golf Course Drive.
27
(5) Widen sidewalk to 10 to 15 feet from SMART Trail crossing terminus to crosswalk across
east leg of intersection to increase space for bikes and people going/to from trail.
Project 44: Country Club Drive and Racquet Club Circle
Type: Crossing Improvement at Unsignalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at unsignalized intersection. Implement in
coordination with Project 34.
Add lane markings to clearly delineate one vehicle lane in each direction; mark lane widths at
11 feet wide. Paint curbs within 20 feet of the existing marked crosswalks red to indicate no
on-street marking. Construct pedestrian refuge island such that it includes existing width
marked crosswalks and the length of it extends north approximately 60 to 65 feet. Add
advanced yield markings on north and southbound approaches. Upgrade west corner of
existing marked crosswalk to include a curb extension and directional curb ramp. Confirm
both sides of the marked crosswalk are appropriately illuminated under low light/dark
conditions.
Project 45: Country Club Drive and Valley Village Mobile Home Park Entrance
Type: Crossing Improvement at Unsignalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at unsignalized intersection to improve
walking conditions.
Specifically includes the following improvements:
1. At existing marked crosswalk across Country Club Drive,
a. Install a pedestrian refuge island using the space currently occupied by the
northbound left-turn lane. Construct a pedestrian refuge island that is
approximately 10 feet wide and that extends 50 feet north along Country Club
Drive. North of the end of the refuge island, the center portion of the road can
become the left-turn lane for the intersection at Rohnert Park Expressway.
b. Consider implementing a raised crosswalk to help manage vehicle speeds.
c. Redesign ramps to directional curb ramps that are ADA compliant and tighten
curb radii to require slower vehicle turning speeds.
d. Add lighting on each side of the crosswalk.
e. Add advanced yield line markings on approach to the crossing.
2. On the side streets (i.e., Walnut Circle and Civic Center Drive), enhance crosswalk
markings to high visibility markings, add advanced stop bars, and update curb ramps
to directional and ADA compliant.
3. Consider lowering posted speed limit on Country Club Drive to 25 mph.
4. Pending lower posted speed on Country Club Drive and adequate sight distance, add
a second marked crosswalk, with high visibility markings and curb extensions across
south leg of the intersection to provide more direct access to bus stop in southeast
28
corner of the intersection. If the crosswalk across the northern leg is raised, also raise
the added crosswalk across the southern leg.
Project 46: Seed Farm Drive and Southwest Boulevard
Type: Crossing Improvement at Signalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at signalized intersection to improve walking
and biking conditions. Implement protected intersection features in coordination with Project
63 and 65.
Reconfigure vehicle lane configurations on Seed Farm Drive approach. Convert to one
southbound left-turn, one southbound right-turn lane. Repurpose existing right-turn slip lane
into protected space for pedestrians and bikes. Add bicycle signals and bike conflict
markings (i.e., bike cross markings) for movements to/from Seed Farm Drive and Southwest
Boulevard. Consider raising separated bike lanes on approach to the intersection and
through the intersection along the southern edge of Southwest Boulevard.
Project 47: Southwest Boulevard and Burton Avenue
Type: Crossing Improvement at Unsignalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at unsignalized intersection to improve walking
and biking conditions. Implement in coordination with Project 63 and 64.
Upgrade marked crosswalks to high visibility markings. Add marked crosswalk across west
leg. Reconfigure median across west leg to create a crossing refuge island. Mark cross-bike
markings parallel to each crosswalk. Upgrade curb ramps to be directional, aligned with
crosswalks, and ADA compliant. Upgrade lighting so both sides of each crosswalk are
marked. Consider raised crosswalks on Southwest Boulevard to help manage vehicle speeds
and align with raised separated bike lanes along Southwest Boulevard (see Project 63 and
64).
Project 50: Camino Colegio and Maple Drive
Type: Crossing Improvement at Unsignalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at an unsignalized intersection to improve
walking conditions. Coordinate improvements with Project 3.
Upgrade pavements to improve visibility. Add RRFB to each side of the crosswalk and in the
median. Upgrade curb ramps to be directional and ADA compliant. Install lighting so the
crosswalk is lit on both sides during low light or dark conditions. Install advance yield
markings and roadway signs.
Project 51: Myrtle Avenue & path entrance approximately 370 feet west of Liman Way
Type: Crossing Improvement at Unsignalized Intersection or Mid-block Crossing
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at unsignalized intersection to improve walking
conditions. Install advance stop bars. Upgrade both crosswalks to high visibility crosswalks.
Implement a raised crosswalk across Myrtle Ave to further manage speeds and encourage
29
compliance. Could also consider a mid-block crossing. There is a path on the north side of
Myrtle Avenue that intersects with the street. On the south side of Myrtle Avenue is an
existing natural path that follows the city limit line between Cotati and Rohnert Park, and
which is commonly used by residents and school groups. The project acknowledges this
existing desire line and creates a safer crossing. Perhaps gateway treatment, especially west
of the crossing.
Project 52: Lords Manor Way and Lancaster Drive
Type: Crossing Improvement at Unsignalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at unsignalized intersection to improve walking
conditions. Upgrade to high-visibility crosswalk markings. Add crosswalk markings across
the north leg. Upgrade curb ramps to directional ramps and ADA compliance. If there are
concerns about speeds along Lancaster Drive, implement raised crosswalks across
Lancaster Drive to encourage compliance and manage vehicle speeds.
Project 53: Liberty Avenue and Lindsay Avenue
Type: Crossing Improvement at Unsignalized Intersection
Expanded Description: Crossing improvement at unsignalized intersection to improve walking
conditions. Implement no on-street parking 20 feet in advance of the marked crosswalk. Add
advanced yield line pavement markings and signage. Make sure both sides of crosswalk are
lit under low light and dark conditions. Raise crosswalk to help manage vehicle speeds and
make people more visible. Crosswalk warning signs should be added to southbound Liberty
Avenue in advance of horizontal curve in the roadway.
Project 55: Copeland Creek Trail (south side path) and Commerce Boulevard
Type: Grade Separated Crossing
Expanded Description: Implement grade separated crossing of US 101 for active
transportation users. Coordinate with Rohnert Park Highway 101 Bike & Pedestrian Crossing
Feasibility Study (February 2022). Also, coordinate with Project 31 and 60. In near-term,
provide wayfinding that encourages people to cross at Commerce Boulevard/Avram
signalized intersection.
Project 56: Redwood Drive from northern city limits to southern city limits
Type: Install Separated Bike Lanes
Expanded Description: Implement separated bike lanes. Enhance existing bike lanes by
upgrading to separated bike lanes. All intersections and driveways at project limits and
within project extents would need to be upgraded based on design of separated bike lanes.
Options to implement separated bike lanes include: (1) A road diet to reallocate a vehicle lane
in each direction to space for higher quality, safer bicycle lanes; or (2) Creating raised
separated bike lanes by narrowing vehicle lanes and using the additional resulting width as
well as existing bike lane width to widen the sidewalks – thereby creating space for a
separated raised bike lane at sidewalk level adjacent to pedestrian space.
30
Project 57: Golf Course Drive from SMART multi-use trail to Snyder Lane
Type: Install Multiuse Path
Expanded Description: Install multiuse path along/parallel to Golf Course Drive. Options for
design could include widening existing sidewalk along north side of Golf Course Drive,
determining if there is available right-of-way adjacent to the golf course on the southern side
of Golf Course drive, and/or stretches where the facility is a bidirectional or unidirectional
raised separated bike lane that replaces existing bike lanes. Implement in coordination with
Project 41.
Project 60: Commerce Boulevard from Rohnert Park Expressway to Copeland Creek
Type: Install Separated Bike Lanes
Expanded Description: Install separated bike lanes on the west side of Commerce Boulevard.
Options for design include: (1) Implement a road diet to reallocate space from a vehicle lane
to a bidirectional separated bike lane; or (2) Widen the existing sidewalk on the west side of
Commerce Boulevard into the existing bike lane creating a multiuse shared path of 12 feet in
width. All intersections and driveways at project limits and within the project extents would
need to be redesigned to manage vehicle and bicycle conflicts appropriately and safely.
Project 61: Snyder Lane from East Cotati Ave to northern city limits
Type: Install Multiuse Path
Expanded Description: Install multiuse path along east side of Snyder Lane.
The following are considerations for designing and implementing such a multi-use path.
• Improvements to Snyder Lane should be coordinated with ongoing roadway widening
efforts.
• Narrowing vehicle lanes where possible would create addition space that could be
used for the multi-use path.
• Acquisition and/or dedication of additional right-of-way may be necessary to create
space for the multi-use path.
• Installation of a multi-use path without removal of a through vehicle lanes would likely
require expanding the existing sidewalk to be inclusive of the existing bike lane and
reclassifying space as a multi-use path, particularly in the segment south of Medical
Center Drive. A minimum of 12 feet should be maintained for the multi-use path.
• All intersections and driveways at project limits or within project extents would need
to be redesigned to either be protected intersections or intersections with protected
elements (e.g., bike signals, separate phasing for people walking or biking through the
intersection), high visibility markings, enhanced lighting, etc.
Project 62: Southwest Boulevard from Snyder Lane to SMART multi-use path
Type: Install Separated Bike Lanes
31
Expanded Description: Install separated bike lanes. The following describes a potential
configuration for those separated bike lanes based on existing paved cross-section along
Southwest Boulevard. In some places vehicle lane widths may need to be narrowed to 11
feet. Parking lane width where existing on-street parking is permitted is assumed to be 10 to
11 feet in width.
Along the southern side of Southwest Boulevard install a consistent raised separated bike
lane. A total minimum width of 7.5 feet wide. One foot for a mountable curb with 4:1 edge
slope and a 6.5-foot-wide rideable space.
Along the northside of Southwest Boulevard install a raised separated bike lane. Where
present, move existing on-street parking to be adjacent to vehicle travel lane. Install a raised
bike lane between the sidewalk and adjusted on-street parking. Raised bike lane would be a
minimum of 10 feet wide with 2 feet for curb width, 7 feet for rideable width and 1 foot for
separation from space for people walking.

guide/cycle-tracks/raised-cycle-tracks/
Project 63: Southwest Boulevard from Burton Avenue to SMART multi-use path
Type: Separated Bike Lane
Expanded Description: Implement separated bike lanes. Based on existing paved street width,
appears feasible to implement as a raised bike lane on each side of Southwest Boulevard. In
some locations vehicle lane widths may need to be narrowed to 11 feet.
Each bike lane would be 7.5 feet wide minimum. One foot for a mountable curb with a 4:1
slope edge and a 6.5-foot-wide rideable space. NACTO design guidance here:
https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/cycle-tracks/raised-cycle-tracks/
Implement in coordination with Project 46, 47, 62, and 64.
Project 64: Southwest Boulevard from Burton Avenue to Adrian Drive
Type: Separated Bike Lanes
Expanded Description: Implement separated bike lanes. Based on existing paved street width,
the following configuration appears potentially feasible.
On the north side of Southwest Boulevard, install a raised bike lane with a minimum of 7.5
feet wide. One foot for a mountable curb with a 4:1 slope edge and a 6.5-foot-wide
rideable space.
On the south side of Southwest Boulevard, move existing on street parking to be adjacent to
vehicle travel lane. Install a raised bike lane between the sidewalk and adjusted on-street
parking. The raised bike lane would be a minimum of 10 feet wide with two feet for curb
width, 7 feet for rideable width and 1 foot for separation from space for people walking.
In some places existing vehicle lane widths may need to be narrowed to 11 feet. Parking lane
width where there is existing on-street parking permitted is assumed to be 10 to 11 feet in
32
width. NACTO design guidance here: https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-
guide/cycle-tracks/raised-cycle-tracks/
Implement in coordination with Project 47 and 63.
Project 65: Seed Farm Drive from Southwest Blvd to Enterprise Drive
Type: Separated Bike Lane
Expanded Description: Implement separated bike lanes. Based on existing paved street width,
appears feasible to implement as a raised bike lane on each side of Seed Farm Drive. In
some locations vehicle lane widths may need to be narrowed to 11 feet.
Each bike lane would be 7.5 feet wide minimum. One foot for a mountable curb with a 4:1
slope edge and a 6.5-foot-wide rideable space. NACTO design guidance here:
https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/cycle-tracks/raised-cycle-tracks/
Implement in coordination with Project 46.
Project 67: Commerce Blvd between Utility Court and Golf Course Drive
Type: Separated Bike Lane
Expanded Description: Install bidirectional separated bike lane on east side of Commerce
Boulevard. Include updated crossing treatments at Commerce/Utility Ct to facilitate people
crossing at that existing crosswalk on bike and on foot. Remove existing right-hand,
northbound vehicle lane from Commerce Boulevard to Golf Course Drive and repurpose that
space for the bidirectional separated bike lane. The minimum width is 15 feet with 3 feet for
separation and 12 feet of rideable space. Specific design guidance here:
https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/cycle-tracks/two-way-cycle-
tracks/. Implement in coordination with Project 40.
Engineering Treatments Toolbox
In designing and implementing the 2025 Active Transportation Network projects, and taking
actions to fulfill the policies and goals identified in this Plan, city staff will use engineering
treatments consistent with established industry resources and guidance published by
reputable organizations such as the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), National
Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), American Association of State
Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO), California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans), and California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). The

Programs & Policies
In addition to infrastructure improvements described above, the Rohnert Park ATP includes
programmatic and policy recommendations to support the Plan’s Vision and Goals.
Programs
The following describes programs aimed at supporting the implementation of the policies
and projects identified in the Rohnert Park Active Transportation Plan.
Active Transportation Program
The city will establish an Active Transportation Program that is comprised of:
• Staff assigned to lead and monitor the implementation of the city’s Active
Transportation Plan, with responsibilities such as:
◦ (i) ensuring planned projects are incorporated into the city’s CIP list;
◦ (ii) coordinating with SCTA, Sonoma County, Caltrans, and cities within the region
regarding active transportation projects and topics including shared mobility
programs and the Safe Routes to School Program;
◦ (iii) oversight and management of all elements of the city’s Active
Transportation Program;
◦ (iv) participating in and leading staff training related to industry guidance for
planning, design, and maintenance of active transportation improvements making
use of guidance from Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and National
Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO); and
◦ (v) identifying and helping to pursue grant funding for larger active
transportation investments.
• As funding becomes available, invest in the planning and design of planned projects
identified in the city’s Active Transportation Plan.
• Pursue regional, state, or federal grant funds to support planning, design, and
construction of planned projects identified in the city’s Active Transportation Plan.
• Explore developing and implementing a quick build program to facilitate the design
and implementation of low-cost active transportation improvements at planned
project locations identified in the city’s Active Transportation Plan. This would include
identifying improvements that could be implemented via the city’s repaving program
and/or as part of other routine maintenance activities.
• Develop and implement a bike parking program consistent with the policies and
actions identified in the city’s Active Transportation Plan.
• Partner with Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition, the City Public Safety Department and
Community Services & Recreation Department to develop and distribute educational
materials and/or host community events that promote safe road user behavior in
support of improving walking, biking, and rolling for all ages and abilities.
43
Transportation Demand Management Supportive Programs
The city will work with SCTA to implement Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
program objectives to encourage non-auto trips (such as walking, biking, and transit), and
reduce single occupancy vehicle trips. This may include education and encouragement
activities targeted at larger residential developments and employers. Potential actions
could include:
• Develop a local TDM ordinance based on SCTA’s Shift Model TDM Ordinance,
including considerations for employers and developers, infrastructure, and programs.
• Coordinate with employers on the development and implementation of commute
programs by engaging with employers, transit agencies, and shared
mobility programs.
• Market existing TDM programs to employers and developers through business
assistance programs, green business certifications, and commute fairs.
• Assist employers with the development of commute programs and marketing
alternative modes of transportation to employees.
• Coordinate countywide policy actions via the SCTA/RCPA.
Sidewalk/Crosswalk Maintenance and Gap Closure Program
The city will establish a local sidewalk maintenance and gap closure monitoring program, to
achieve the goals outlined in Policies 1-3, 1-4 and 2-2. Program elements could include:
• Develop a sidewalk repair program to ensure the city maintains or enforces
maintenance of current and future sidewalks.
• Prioritize closure of sidewalk gaps that connect people to activity centers, schools,
transit, parks, and the downtown area.
• Regularly evaluate where new crosswalks may be needed and/or where there are
needs for crosswalks enhancements (e.g., high visibility paint, RRFB, HAWK signals)
• Continue to engage with the community to prevent obstruction of sidewalks and
pedestrian facilities with parking, trash bins, signs, etc.
• Monitor and update tracking of sidewalks built and/or percentage of roadways with
sidewalks citywide.
Bicycle Parking Program
The city will establish a Bicycle Parking Program, aligned with Policy 1-6. The program will
include the following activities:
• Review and consider updates to the city’s bike rack standards.
• Review and/or update Municipal Code to ensure adequate bike parking is included in
all new development projects, multifamily and commercial remodels, and Use
Permit approvals.
44
• Assess bike parking needs within the city’s parks and right-of-way and develop a
program to provide adequate bike parking near amenities and at key destinations.
• Consider requiring temporary bike parking (e.g., racks, bike valet) at limited term and
special events.
• Create incentives for local businesses to bring their bike parking into compliance with
current city standards.
• Support local transit providers in providing and maintaining convenient and secure
bicycle parking facilities that accommodate bicycles of all shapes and sizes.
Wayfinding Program
The city will establish a Wayfinding Program to plan, design, fabricate, install, and maintain
directional signage throughout the city to help residents and visitors navigate to key
destinations or routes. The program will include such activities as the following:
• Create a plan to determine sign locations and information to include on the signs.
Signs could include things like distance to key destinations, directional arrows to
bicycle routes and trails, multiple languages, and design aesthetics matching existing
city signs.
• Design and fabricate the signage consistent with relevant industry guidance and
requirements.
• Coordinate with the appropriate city and county departments to install signage (e.g.
Public Works).
• Promote the newly installed wayfinding through city and other local channels.
• Plan for sign maintenance such as the cleaning of signs and replacing worn signs.
Policies
The City of Rohnert Park has a series of Policies and Actions to guide the implementation of
the ATP including actions to promote active transportation within Rohnert Park. The Policies
and Actions support each of the Plan’s goals as shown below.
GOAL 1: Connected and Reliable
Deliver a continuous active transportation network that links daily activities and housing, and
that allows people of all ages and abilities to use a variety of transportation types easily,
affordably, and dependably.
POLICY 1-1: Prioritize and implement bike and pedestrian projects identified in the ATP, given
the amount of funding available to Rohnert Park.
POLICY 1-2: Incorporate and include funding for bike and pedestrian improvements identified
in the ATP, as well as maintenance of active transportation facilities in the city’s 5-Year
Capital Improvement Program.
45
POLICY 1-3: Prioritize closure of sidewalk gaps that connect people to activity centers,
schools, transit, healthcare, parks, and the downtown area, ensuring that streets safely serve
seniors, youth, those with disabilities, and all members of the community.
POLICY 1-4: All public streets shall have a sidewalk connecting to the broader network, on a
minimum of one-side, phased as city funding and/or nexus with private development allows.
Determining the appropriate side shall be based on the existing sidewalk network,
environmental conditions, and impediments to construction.
POLICY 1-5: As part of city or private development projects, enhance pedestrian and bike
facilities along or adjacent to all arterial roadways. Multi-use path and separated bike lanes
should be the first choice in the design of all new multi-modal infrastructure.
POLICY 1-6: Ensure adequate bike parking is available citywide.
POLICY 1-7: Prioritize ADA improvements in High-Volume Pedestrian Areas.
POLICY 1-8: Work cooperatively with responsible agencies including the Sonoma County
Transportation Authority, Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit, Sonoma County Water Agency,
and others to close existing facility gaps and ensure the active transportation network is
implemented, constructed, and maintained.
POLICY 1-9: Proactively seek opportunities for acquisition of abandoned rights-of-way, flood
control rights-of-way, and lands for the development of new multi-use pathways in
coordination with SCTA, Sonoma Water, and Sonoma County Regional Parks.
POLICY 1-10: Increase the U.S. Census derived “Journey to Work” mode split percentage for
walking and biking by 50% by the year 2040.
POLICY 1-11: Work with federal, state, regional, and local agencies to secure funding to
implement the citywide active transportation system. Encourage multi-jurisdictional funding
applications to implement the regional active transportation system.
POLICY 1-12: Install wayfinding and directional signage, markers, and stencils on off-street
paths, on-street bikeways, local roads, and state routes to improve wayfinding for bicyclists
and pedestrians, assist emergency personnel, and heighten motorists’ awareness.
POLICY 1-13: The city will update this Active Transportation Plan every five years to ensure
community needs continue to be met and design treatments are current with best practices.
GOAL 2: Safe and Well-Maintained
Create and sustain a high-quality and low-stress active transportation network. Employ Vision
Zero and Safety Plan policies and strategies to advance this goal.
POLICY 2-1: Seek opportunities to separate existing and future bike facilities from motor
vehicle traffic with buffers or greater protection such as a curb, flexible bollards, delineators,
or other more durable barriers on streets where vehicle speeds are greater than 25 mph. Use
best practices when designing bicycle facilities.
46
POLICY 2-2: Develop and operationalize a sidewalk repair program to ensure the city
maintains or enforces maintenance of sidewalks. Continue to engage with the community to
prevent obstruction of sidewalks and pedestrian facilities with parking, trash bins, signs, etc.
POLICY 2-3: Maintain all bike lane symbols, striping, green paint, and buffer paint and ensure
all bike lanes have standard bike symbols. Ensure bike lanes are kept free of trash bins,
vehicles, and debris.
POLICY 2-4: Require that road construction projects minimize their impacts on active
transportation users through the proper placement of construction signs and equipment,
and by providing safety detours.
POLICY 2-5: Provide additional pedestrian safety improvements at intersections
and crossings.
Action 2-5.1: Increase pedestrian safety at controlled and uncontrolled crossings,
where needed, to complete pedestrian networks and provide access to destinations.
Utilize industry best practices such as the FHWA Guide for Improving Pedestrian
Safety at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations, ADA standards, and Caltrans Roadway
Lighting Manual.

6. Implementation: Local
Considerations
The following outlines a timeline and potential funding sources the city can use to make
consistent, steady progress towards achieving its vision and goals for enhancing walking,
biking, and rolling.
Timeline
Programs
Putting the Active Transportation Plan policies and programs into action is a critical initial
step in providing a foundation for buildout and utilization of the network. Many of the policies
and the broader Active Transportation Program identified in this Plan are ongoing or
recurring considerations and activities, that once initiated, will sustain investment in active
transportation improvements as well as institutionalize designing streets for safe and
comfortable walking, biking, and rolling.
Table 4 summarizes the timeline and the responsible party (or parties) or the mechanism for
implementing the program.

Planned Projects
Prioritization
Opportunities to advance specific projects toward implementation will be dependent on
external factors (e.g., land use projects, successful grant applications). With this in mind, the
planned projects identified in this Plan have been prioritized into three tiers:
• Tier 1 – High Priority
• Tier 2 – Medium Priority
• Tier 3 – Low Priority
The criteria used to sort the projects into each tier were as follows:
• Safety – Extent to which the project is on a portion of the SCTA Vision Zero HIN
and/or if it has been identified in the city’s Local Road Safety Plan as a
priority location.
• Equity – Extent to which the project would improve active transportation access or
conditions for an equity-focus population as defined at the regional, state, or
federal level.
• Proximity to Existing and Future Transit – For a given project, the distance from an
existing or future bus stop or transit station.
• Proximity to Schools – For a given project, the distance from an existing school.
• Low-Stress Gap Closure – Scored based on whether the project would close a gap in
the low-stress network, with extra points for projects on the Sonoma County Regional
Routes network.
For each criterion, each project received a score based on the extent to which it fulfilled the
criteria. The collective scores were normalized into a single number or index. Tiers 1, 2, and 3
were established to align with the top, middle, and bottom third of the project scores.
Projects are presented by tier in Table 2.
Once sorted into each of the three buckets, projects are not sorted within each tier to gives
city staff discretion and flexibility to respond to various opportunities that arise and can
facilitate implementation. Within the broader Countywide ATP, the project prioritization
criteria is aligned with project selection criteria for the Go Sonoma funding program.
Initial Steps Towards Implementation
To advance the projects in the ATP towards implementation, staff can undertake the
following types of activities.
(1) Establish and/or update a citywide Traffic Impact Fee that includes high priority projects
from the ATP.
(2) Review and incorporate ATP projects into the city’s five-year Capital Improvement
Program (see Policy 1-2 above).
50
(3) Review upcoming maintenance projects/activities to identify where active transportation
improvements can be incorporated into things like pavement rehabilitation (e.g., installing
high visibility crosswalks or bike lanes when the new pavement is put in place).
(4) Review current as well as future development project applications to ensure or require
consistency of street frontage with planned ATP projects.
(5) Coordinate with SCTA on upcoming potential funding opportunities with particular focus
on the SCTA Funding Program as well as support or collaboration on state or federal funds
such as HSIP, SS4A, and ATP (those and additional funding sources are highlighted below).
Appendix A contains detailed prioritization results for each project to help aid staff in
understanding which of the prioritization criteria a given project met. Such information can
aid in determining suitable grant funds and/or where opportunities may overlap with other
efforts like Safe Routes to School or supporting access to transit.
Cost Estimates
This section presents the costs estimates for implementing the 2025 Active Transportation
Plan. Project cost estimations were developed to provide a general idea of the anticipated
cost for each proposed project type. These estimates are based on an engineering review of
unit costs and quantities for the project types shown. They are based solely on construction
costs and do not include other soft costs that may be associated with projects (e.g., design,
environmental, permitting, construction management).
Table 5 summarizes project costs by project type and prioritization tier for the 2025 Active
Transportation Network.

Funding
This section describes the funding sources available to fund the projects and programs
identified in this plan. In addition to local funding sources such as the Capital Improvements
Program and developer fees, Table 6 presents a list of competitive grants and formula-based
funding programs that have been reviewed for potential consideration to address financial
needs of the projects identified in the plan. Further discussion of regional and federal funding
options is included in the 2025 Countywide ATP.
Several of the funding sources listed are included in the SCTA Funding Program, which
generally covers a four-year period. Recognizing the need for a coordinated approach to
match the highest-priority projects with available transportation funding sources, SCTA
developed the SCTA Funding Program in 2021. Priorities are identified through a call for
projects to help SCTA assess and prepare projects for multiple funding programs as well as
pair the best projects with the best fund sources available. Projects are evaluated to assess
how they address planning and funding goals both locally and regionally to be competitive
for the available funding. Cycle 2 of the SCTA Funding Program is anticipated to launch in
Summer 2025, and will include funding from the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) Cycle 4 (CMAQ
and STP funds), 2026 STIP funds, LPP funds, Go Sonoma funds, and other local funding. The
majority of the funds in Cycle 2 will be available in Fiscal Year 2027/28 through Fiscal Year
2030/31.

Meeting Date: January 14, 2025
Department Administration
Submitted By: Marcela Piedra, City Manager
Prepared By: Marcela Piedra, City Manager
Agenda Title: Consider Adopting a Resolution Authorizing and Approving a Memorandum of
Understanding for the Strategic Partnership between Sonoma State University,
City of Rohnert Park, and City of Cotati.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Consider Adopting a Resolution Authorizing and Approving a Memorandum of Understanding for the
Strategic Partnership between Sonoma State University, City of Rohnert Park, and City of Cotati.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Rohnert Park, Sonoma State University, and City of Cotati in the recent years have
developed a collaborative working relationship as reflected with joint efforts in programs, such as the
Specialized Assistance for Everyone (SAFE) program and student internship opportunities. The three
organizations have interacted on many levels and the MOU encompasses some of those interactions.
With an emphasis on the importance of place and the role of each of the three organizations as civic
institutions, the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (hereafter referred to as “MOU”) formalizes
the strategic relationship between Sonoma State University and the cities of Rohnert Park and Cotati.
The MOU is not intended to be a legally or financially binding relationship among the three entities.
The purpose of the MOU is to embody a spirit of cooperation.
ANALYSIS:
The MOU focuses on six objectives targeting:
1. Economic Development – identify opportunities for closer collaboration to encourage
economic development.
2. Research – leverage research expertise to improve the quality of life in the region through
collaborative research.
3. Culture and heritage – work together to be a focal point in the North Bay for culture and
heritage, working closely with a wide range of partner organizations to develop and promote
the region
4. Place – work together to build sustainable communities in the region and maximize
opportunities for Sonoma State University’s activities to bring mutual benefits to the region.
5. Education and skills – collaborate with regional educational providers to ensure the needs of
existing and prospective employers are clearly articulated to improve the ability for the learning
and skills provision to meet this demand.
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

6. Public relations – develop strategic communications to raise the regional, national, and
international profiles of Sonoma State University, the City of Rohnert Park, and the City of
Cotati.
The implementation of the MOU will be coordinated through a strategic management working group
composed of the City Manager from the City of Rohnert Park and Cotati and a City Manager designee
for each city. Representing Sonoma State University will be Vice President for Administration and
Finance and Associate Vice President for Government Relations and Strategic Communications. There
will be a total of six representatives in the working group.
An official signing ceremony of the MOU is planned in February 2025. Further details on the signing
ceremony will follow.
Staff recommends the Council to adopt a resolution authorizing and approving an MOU for Strategic
Partnership between Sonoma State University, the City of Rohnert Park, and the City of Cotati.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not
qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections
15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the
City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
This item targets the “Community Quality of Life” goal as the City of Rohnert Park is working
collaboratively with Sonoma State University and the City of Cotati to strengthen community relations.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended Option: Staff recommends Council adopt the resolution authorizing and
approving an MOU for Strategic Partnership between Sonoma State University, City of
Rohnert Park, and City Cotati.
2. Alternative: The City Council can decide to not proceed with the recommended action.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.

Memorandum of Understanding
for the Strategic Partnership
between Sonoma State University,
the city of Rohnert Park,and the city of Cotati
Sonoma State University (SSU),the City of Rohnert Park (RP)and the City of Cotati,
hereinafter called the Key Stakeholders,have been working collaboratively to develop a
common understanding of one another ’s organizations and to establish areas where there is
mutual benefit in working together,supporting each other ’s strategic aims,and optimally
leveraging their combined activities.
The Key Stakeholders have interacted on many levels for years,but these activities had not
previously been fully coordinated to align the respective strategic plans of the three entities
for maximum impact.With an increased emphasis on the importance of place and the role of
these organizations as civic institutions,this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
formalizes the strategic relationship between the university and the cities.
The Key Stakeholders do not intend this MOU to be legally binding and do not intend that
any agency or partnership relationship be created between the Key Stakeholders by this
MOU.The purpose of this MOU is to embody a spirit of cooperation between the Key
Stakeholders,based on a set of principles,to work together to raise the regional,national,
and international profile of the parties and the Key Stakeholders with governments,
businesses,and other key stakeholders to attract talent,money,and business and to
positively impact the parties and benefit their common communities.Nothing in this MOU will
seek to constrain broader activity that might evolve and expand during implementation.

Agenda Title: Introduce by Title Only and Waive the First Reading of Ordinance No. 986, an
Ordinance Amending Chapters 1.16 (General Penalty), 1.24 (Nuisance
Abatement), 1.25 (Administrative Citation Program), 1.26 (Administrative
Hearings) and 1.27 (Collection Procedures) and adding a new Chapter 1.23
(Nuisance Defined) within Title 1 of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code to
Streamline the Administrative Citation and Nuisance Abatement Processes and
Increasing Fines for Short-Term Rental Violations
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Introduce by Title Only and Waive the First Reading of Ordinance No. 986, an Ordinance amending
Chapters 1.16 (General Penalty), 1.24 (Nuisance Abatement), 1.25 (Administrative Citation Program),
1.26 (Administrative Hearings) and 1.27 (Collection Procedures) and adding a new Chapter 1.23
(Nuisance Defined) within Title 1 of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code to streamline the administrative
citation and nuisance abatement processes and increasing fines for short-term rental violations.
BACKGROUND:
Title 1 (General Provisions) of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code (RPMC) encompasses critical
regulatory provisions that empower Public Safety and Code Compliance to enforce the various
community standards that have been adopted by ordinance to be codified in the RPMC. Title 1
provides a comprehensive framework for managing code violations, enabling city compliance staff to
effectively respond to and mitigate issues that impact neighborhood quality and safety.
Chapters 1.24-1.27 of the RPMC detail the tools available to the City's code compliance team for
managing nuisances. The team primarily utilizes two processes for enforcement:
1.Administrative Citation Process (RPMC Chapter 1.25): This process allows the City to issue
an administrative citation and impose fines on property owners or occupants who fail to correct
identified nuisances. Before issuing citations, a pre-citation phase gives persons who are
violating a provision of the RPMC an opportunity to address or show progress in resolving the
violations. This is the most commonly used tool by City code compliance staff for handling
violations, however, the administrative citations provided for in Chapter 1.25 are an additional
enforcement remedy to all other legal remedies, criminal or civil, which may be pursued by the
City, to address any violation of this code or other public nuisance.
2.Nuisance Abatement Process (RPMC Chapters 1.24): This process permits the City to correct
property-related nuisances if property owners fail to address issues within a reasonable time. It

“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

is typically employed for more serious nuisances or when owners have been given sufficient
opportunity to correct issues through the administrative citation process but have not done so.
Additionally, the Summary Abatement Process (RPMC Chapter 1.24.180) offers a crucial
mechanism for rapid intervention in urgent or extreme nuisance situations that threaten public health,
safety, or welfare. Although rarely used, this expedited process allows city officials to quickly address
and mitigate urgent code violations that pose significant risks to the community.
Chapter 1.26 provides the process for two types of administrative hearings to ensure procedural and
substantive due process rights of all persons subject to enforcement actions. The type of hearing that is
afforded to a person depends upon whether the City is following the administrative citation or the
nuisance abatement process. Chapter 1.26 also provides the regulations governing the notice
requirements for the hearing and the manner of conducting the hearings and other procedural
requirements.
Chapter 1.27 specifies the collection procedures for late, unpaid fines, fees and penalties and also
specifies the process that the City must follow to file a lien to recover costs relating to abatement of
violations.
The current structure of these chapters presents several challenges. The administrative citation process
is situated between two sections that describe the nuisance abatement process, leading to confusion for
both staff and the public. Additionally, numerous cross-references between chapters make it difficult to
distinguish between the two distinct processes.
Moreover, both the administrative citation and nuisance abatement processes involve lengthy pre-
noticing requirements, which can impede staff's ability to address nuisances efficiently. These issues
collectively indicate a need for reorganization and clarification of the municipal code to enhance its
effectiveness, readability, and ease of use.
To address these concerns, on February 14, 2023, the City Council directed staff to amend and add
various chapters within Title 1 to streamline the processes and improve clarity and readability for both
staff and the public. Since then, staff have been working on revisions to reorganize and clarify these
processes for better application.
At this time, staff is recommending updates to Title 1 to incorporate these proposed changes.
ANALYSIS:
The recommended code revisions can be categorized into three main areas: reorganization and
clarification, process streamlining, and updates to align with state law.
Reorganization and Clarification
The revised Title 1 aims to enhance clarity, usability, and readability through reorganization of key
chapters. The proposed code outline includes:
1. Chapter 1.23: Nuisance Defined (New Chapter)
•Defines nuisances and includes definitions applicable to all code compliance
enforcement tools
•Aims to reduce duplication and confusion between processes
•Introduces a couple new definitions and modifies some existing ones to enhance clarity
and consistency in enforcement.
ITEM NO. 8.D.
4930-6536-4232 v2 3
2. Chapter 1.24: Administrative Citation Program (Currently Chapter 1.25)
•Moved ahead of the nuisance abatement process since the citation process is used more
frequently
•Incorporates sections on administrative hearings and remedies for late or unpaid fines
from current Chapters 1.26 and 1.27
•Removes sections 1.24.050-1.24.100 relating to residential rental units and relocates
them to Chapter 1.26
3. Chapter 1.25: Nuisance Abatement (Currently Chapter 1.24)
•Moved after the administrative citation program
Incorporates sections on nuisance abatement hearings and remedies from current
Chapters 1.26 and 1.27 and relocates the collection procedures in Chapter 1.27 to the
proposed Chapter 1.25
4. Chapter 1.26: Residential Rental Units (Currently within Chapter 1.24)
•Created to house residential rental units code sections currently located in the middle of
Chapter 1.24
•Relocation aims to improve flow and coherence of the nuisance abatement chapter
•No substantive changes proposed, only relocation and internal code reference updates
The proposed ordinance would also amend the current Chapter 1.27 to be “reserved” for future use, if
necessary.
Process Streamlining
The revised Title 1 introduces changes to the Administrative Citation and Nuisance Abatement
processes to improve efficiency in addressing nuisances. These changes are designed to ensure that
violations are addressed in a fair, clear, and efficient manner while maintaining distinct processes for
administrative citations and nuisance abatement.
Table 1 below compares the current administrative citation process and the proposed process.
Table 1: Administrative Citation Process
CURRENT- Chapter 1.25
Administrative Citation Program
PROPOSED – Chapter 1.24
Administrative Citation Program
1.Preliminary Notice – 10 days Deleted
2. Pre-citation Notice – 30 days 1. Pre-citation Notice – Generally 15 calendar
days (may be longer or shorter depending on
circumstances)
3.Administrative Citation – may issue multiple
citations, impose administrative fines and
penalties
2.Administrative Citation – may issue multiple
citations, impose administrative fines and
penalties
4. Administrative Hearing (optional) – may be
requested by offender to contest citations, results
in issuance of administrative order
3.Administrative Citation Appeal Hearing
(optional) – may be requested by offender to
contest citations, results in issuance of
administrative decision
5. Collections – if offender fails to pay fines or
fees imposed per citation (#3) or administrative
order (#4), City follows collections process
4. Collections – if offender fails to pay fines or
fees imposed per citation (#2) or administrative
decision (#3), City follows collections process
ITEM NO. 8.D.
4930-6536-4232 v2 4
The current process involves multiple notices prior to the citation notice, causing delays of over 40
days before the City can issue citations and collect fines for noncompliance. While City code
compliance staff prioritize voluntary compliance and can extend the pre-citation notice period if
progress is shown, it's crucial to have efficient tools for addressing violations.
The proposed amendments would:
•Eliminate the 10-day preliminary notice period.
•Reduce the pre-citation notice period from 30 days to 15 days.
•Clarify language about optional administrative citation appeal hearings, distinguishing them
clearly from nuisance abatement appeal hearings.
Table 2 below compares the current process for nuisance abatement and the proposed process.
Table 2: Nuisance Abatement Process
CURRENT - Chapter 1.24
Nuisance Abatement
PROPOSED - Chapter 1.25
Nuisance Abatement
1.Preliminary Notice – 10 days Deleted
2.Notice of violation and order to abate –
10 days to abatement
1.Notice of violation and order to abate –
Generally 10 calendar days to abate the
nuisance (may be longer depending on
circumstances)
3. Nuisance Abatement Hearing – results in
issuance of abatement order
2a. Nuisance Abatement Appeal Hearing
(optional) – offender can request appeal
hearing, results in issuance of abatement order
or decision
and/or
2b. Warrant to abate – if there is no appeal
or action on notice, City may get warrant to
abate
4. Hearing before City Council – Council
authorize staff to collect costs associated with
abatement, which may include collection
through abatement lien or special assessment
3. Hearing before City Council – Council
authorize staff to collect costs associated with
abatement, which may include collection
through abatement lien or special assessment
5. Nuisance Abatement Lien / Special
Assessment
4. Nuisance Abatement Lien / Special
Assessment
The current process includes a preliminary notice before issuing a notice of violation and order to
abate, which can delay addressing nuisances that pose serious health and safety risks. The proposed
amendments eliminate the 10-day preliminary notice period. Additionally, the current code requires a
hearing to confirm the nuisance. The proposed revisions would remove that hearing requirement but
still allow an appeal hearing if the offender contests the notice of violation. These changes aim to
reduce delays and improve efficiency while maintaining flexibility for compliance timelines tailored to
specific cases.
ITEM NO. 8.D.
4930-6536-4232 v2 5
Updates to Align with State Law
In 2021, California enacted SB 60, empowering local governments to impose fines for violations of
short-term rental ordinances. Rohnert Park's current ordinance (17.07.020(KK)) prohibits short-term
rentals citywide, with one exception: a single bedroom within a primary dwelling unit may be rented
short-term with a permit from the City's planning division.
Although illegal short-term rentals are not currently a widespread issue in Rohnert Park, staff
recommends updating Title 1, Chapter 1.16 to incorporate the new state-authorized fines. This
proactive measure would prepare the City for potential future challenges.
Under the new state law, violations of Rohnert Park's short-term rental ordinance would incur the
following fines:
1. First violation: Up to $1,500
2. Second violation within one year: Up to $3,000
3. Each additional violation within one year of the first: Up to $5,000
These updates would provide the City with stronger enforcement tools if short-term rental violations
become more prevalent.
Please note that, due to the number of revisions and reorganization of code sections, a redlined version
of the proposed amendments to Title 1 will not be included as an attachment to this staff report.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The proposed action is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed ordinance is not a “project” within the meaning of Section 15378 of the Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (''CEQA") because it has no potential to
result in physical changes to the environment, either directly or indirectly. If the ordinance is found to
be a “project” within the meaning of section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, the amendments would
be exempt under section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty
that there is no possibility that the adoption of this ordinance may have a significant effect on the
environment. Finally, the fee provisions of the proposed ordinance do not constitute a project under
CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4), which says that the creation of government funding
mechanisms that do not involve a commitment to a particular project do not fall under the auspices of
CEQA.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL GOALS/PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
The proposed action is consistent with the City’s goals to improve neighborhood quality, deliver high-
quality services and enhance community well-being.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1.Recommended Option: Introduce by Title Only and Waive the First Reading of Ordinance
No. 986,, an ordinance to amend the Rohnert Park Municipal Code Chapters 1.16 (General
Penalty), 1.24 (Nuisance Abatement), 1.25 (Administrative Citation Program), 1.26
(Administrative Hearings), and 1.27 (Collection Procedures) and add a new chapter 1.23
(Nuisance Defined). This proposed ordinance aligns with previous City Council directives and
aims to improve the code's effectiveness, readability, and ease of use.
2.Alternative: Retain the current version of Title 1. This option is not recommended due to the
existing code's operational inefficiencies and lack of clarity.
ITEM NO. 8.D.
4930-6536-4232 v2 6
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
The proposed amendments to Title 1 of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code would have no direct impact
on the City’s General Fund. However, they would enhance the City's ability to recover nuisance
abatement costs through mechanisms such as liens and special assessments, ensuring that expenses
incurred by the City are reimbursed and reducing the fiscal burden on public resources. Additionally,
the amendments include updates to the fine and fee schedule in alignment with SB 60, which
authorizes cities to increase penalties for short-term rental violations.

of the same ordinance within two years of the first violation if the property is a commercial
property that has an existing building at the time of the violation and the violation is due to
failure by the owner to remove visible refuse or failure to prohibit unauthorized use of the
property.
5.An offense, which would otherwise be an infraction, is a misdemeanor if a person has been

Chapter 1.23 NUISANCE DEFINED
1.23.010 Purpose and intent.
The purpose and intent of this chapter is to define public nuisances and the procedures the city of
Rohnert Park may use to remedy the violations, including abatement. These procedures are vital for
promoting the health, safety, economic, aesthetic and general welfare of the citizens of the city, and to
protect neighborhoods against property-related nuisances, blight and deterioration by establishing
requirements for all buildings, whether residential or non-residential, or structures of whatever kind,
and establishing requirements for the maintenance of all land, whether improved or vacant. The city of
Rohnert Park has a history and reputation for well-kept properties. Property values and the general
welfare of the community are founded, in part, upon the appearance and maintenance of private
properties. Owners and occupants of some properties within the city permit conditions to exist which
are below the minimum conditions required by this chapter and therefore injurious and detrimental to
the public health, safety, and welfare of residents of the city and contribute substantially and
increasingly to the deterioration of residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. Resolution and/or
abatement of conditions that do not meet the standards required by the Rohnert Park Municipal Code
(hereinafter, "code") will promote the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the city because
maximum use and enjoyment of property in close proximity to other property depends upon
maintenance of both properties.
This chapter, as well as the three immediately following this one (Chapters 1.24, 1.25 and 1.26),
shall apply to all buildings, structures and land within the city without regard to use, date of
construction or alterations and are enforced uniformly.
Chapters 1.24 and 1.25 establish procedures for enforcement of the code and to seek corrective
action for, and/or abate any and all other public nuisances, whether property related or not, which the
city has declared to be injurious to the public health, comfort, convenience, safety, welfare, prosperity,
peace and quiet of the city and its inhabitants. There are three general remedies used for enforcement
of code violations:
A. Administrative citations, as described in Chapter 1.24, are utilized to impose fines on property
owners or occupants to address violations of any section of this code.
B. Nuisance abatement, as described in Chapter 1.25, is utilized for ongoing and/or significant
violations which require formal city intervention to abate the violations.
C. Summary abatement, as described in Section 1.25.160, is reserved for conditions or use of
property that constitute an imminent or immediate danger to the health and safety of the public.
EXHIBIT A TO ORDINANCE NO. 986
4906-6556-6984 v3 Page 4 of 29
The foregoing remedies provided in this chapter shall be cumulative and not exclusive. The city is
empowered to take all necessary actions to ensure the standards outlined in this code are met and
maintained. This chapter, as well as Chapters 1.24, 1.25 and 1.26, grant the city broad authority to
enforce compliance through any available legal remedy necessary to address violations of any section of
the code and protect the public’s health, safety and welfare.

Chapter 1.24 ADMINISTRATIVE CITATION PROGRAM
1.24.010 Purpose and intent.
The purpose and intent of this chapter is to set forth a clear process by which the city may issue
administrative citations, in addition to any and all other legal remedies, to address violations of any
section of this code.
1.24.020 Applicability.
A. Enforcement of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code (hereinafter, "code") throughout the city is an
important public service and is vital to the protection of the public's health, safety and quality of
life. A comprehensive code enforcement system uses a combination of judicial and administrative
remedies to gain compliance with code regulations. This chapter outlines precise regulations that
can be effectively applied in judicial and administrative proceedings and further establishes
uniform procedures for the proper application of administrative code enforcement remedies and
administrative hearings to resolve administrative code enforcement cases and appeals.
B. It is the purpose and intent of this code to afford due process of law to any person who is directly
affected by an administrative enforcement action. Due process of law includes adequate notice of
the violation and enforcement remedy chosen by the city, an adequate explanation of the reasons
justifying the administrative enforcement action taken by the city, and an opportunity to
participate in the appropriate administrative enforcement or appeal hearing. These procedures are
also intended to establish a forum to efficiently, expeditiously and fairly resolve issues raised by
any administrative enforcement action.
C. The administrative citations provided for in this chapter are an additional enforcement remedy to
all other legal remedies, criminal or civil, which may be pursued by the city, to address any
violation of this code or other public nuisance. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed a waiver of
any other enforcement remedies found within this code.
1.24.030 Definitions.
Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, the terms used in this chapter shall have the
same meaning as provided for in Chapter 1.23 of this code.
1.24.040 Pre-citation notices—Correction period and notice.
A. When the code violation(s) pertain to building, plumbing, electrical, or other similar structural or
zoning issues that do not create an immediate danger to health or safety, the offender shall have a
minimum of fifteen calendar days to correct or otherwise remedy the code violation, unless a
shorter period of time is deemed necessary by the city to prevent or remedy an immediate threat
to the health and safety of the public or occupants of a structure, prior to the issuance of an
administrative citation and the imposition of a fine. A correction period longer than fifteen
calendar days may be granted if deemed necessary by the compliance officer.
B. For all other violations not relating to building, plumbing, electrical, or other similar structural or
zoning issues that do not create an immediate danger to health or safety, the offender shall have a
4906-6556-6984 v3 Page 15 of 29
reasonable time period, as determined by the compliance officer, to correct or otherwise remedy
the code violation.
C. Upon discovery of code violation(s), the compliance officer shall issue a pre-citation notice to the
offender and/or property owner in accordance with the provisions for service of notices set forth
in Section 1.23.060 of this code.
D. To the extent the following information is reasonably available to the compliance officer, the pre-
citation notice shall:
1. State the date the pre-citation notice is issued;

date may result in an administrative citation being issued, and the amount of the fine to be
imposed;
8. Provide a statement that if the violator believes the notice to be in error, that contact should
be made with the compliance officer issuing the pre-citation notice to discuss the matter. The
compliance officer may refer any such discussion to a supervisor or department director;
9. Include the name and signature of the compliance officer.
E. At the end of the compliance period, the compliance officer shall inspect the site of the code
violation. If the offender does not adequately correct the code violation(s) within the compliance
period, or if the same violation reoccurs within twelve months from the date the pre-citation
notice is issued, the compliance officer may immediately issue the offender an administrative
citation pursuant to Section 1.24.050.
1.24.050 Administrative citation procedures—Generally.
A. Issuance of Administrative Citation. The compliance officer, upon discovering that any responsible
party, as defined in Section 1.23.020(DD) of this code (hereinafter referred to as "offender"), has
committed a code violation(s) and at the end of the compliance period, may issue an
administrative citation to the offender in the manner described in this chapter. The administrative
citation shall be issued in accordance with provisions for service of notices set forth in Section
1.23.060 of this code.
B. Contents of the Administrative Citation. To the extent the following information is reasonably
available to the compliance officer, the administrative citation shall be issued in a form approved
by the city manager, or their designee, and shall include:
1. The date the administrative citation is issued;
4906-6556-6984 v3 Page 16 of 29
2. The date the violation(s) were discovered by the compliance officer;
3. The offender's name, date of birth, driver's license number or State-issued identification
number, physical description, and current residential address and/or mailing address;
4. The address or a definite physical description of the location where the violation(s) occurred;
5. The code section(s) violated and describe how the offender violated the code section(s);

the administrative citation;
9. The administrative citation appeal process and procedure for obtaining an administrative
appeal hearing. Specifically, notice that the offender must make a written request in the form
and manner described upon the administrative citation within fifteen calendar days from the
date the administrative citation is issued and that the offender will be notified by mail of the
date of the hearing;
10. Include a warning that a failure to pay the fine or request and appear at an administrative
hearing shall result in the penalties described in Section 1.24.060, including a description of
the penalties; and
11. The name and signature of the compliance officer.
C. Each and every day or portion thereof that a violation of this code occurs or continues shall
constitute a new, separate and distinct violation subject to administrative citation and
administrative fines or fees in accordance with this chapter.
D. Voided or cancelled administrative citations. Administrative citations, once issued, shall only be
voided or cancelled under the specific circumstances provided for herein:
1. The compliance officer makes a significant error in preparing the administrative citation, such
as an incorrect date, incorrect offender information, incorrect violations cited, or incorrect
fine amount;
2. The administrative citation is voided or cancelled by the hearing officer as part of an
administrative order resulting from a hearing held pursuant to Section 1.23.060.
Any individual ordering or otherwise voiding or cancelling an administrative citation under any
circumstances not specifically provided for herein is guilty of a misdemeanor.
1.24.060 Administrative fines and penalties.
Administrative fines or penalties may be provided in the form of a fine or penalty resolution
established by the city council for specific individual violations or categories of violation. Where an
administrative fine or penalty has not been established by resolution of city council for a specific
violation or category of violations, the applicable administrative fine or penalty shall be the maximum
fine amounts for infractions set forth in subdivision (b) of Government Code Section 36900.
A. Payment. If the offender does not make a timely request for an appeal hearing with the required
deposit as set forth in Section 1.24.070, he or she must pay the full amount designated on the
4906-6556-6984 v3 Page 17 of 29
administrative citation within twenty-one calendar days from the date the citation is issued.
Payments of administrative fines shall be made in the manner and form directed on the
administrative citation. If no such direction is provided, administrative fines shall be sent to the
city's finance department. Failure to timely pay fines shall subject the offender to late charges in
Section 1.24.110 of this code. In addition, willful failure to pay fines that are due shall, after sixty
days of delinquency, constitute a separate violation chargeable as a misdemeanor.
B. No Waiver. Under no circumstances shall the payment of the fine designated in the administrative
citation constitute a waiver of the offender's right to a hearing. Therefore, an offender may pay the
fine within the fifteen-day appeal period and also obtain a hearing to protest the imposition of the
fine, provided that the offender makes a timely request for an appeal hearing.
C. Obligation to Correct Violation. Nothing in this code shall be interpreted to mean that because an
offender has paid the fine that they are not required to correct the code violation(s). Failure to
correct the code violations may result in additional administrative citations.
D. Refund of Payments. Any administrative citation fine, fee or penalty paid pursuant to subsection A
of this section shall be refunded in accordance with Section 1.24.100(C)(1) if it is determined, after
an appeal hearing, that the person charged in the administrative citation was not responsible for
the violation, that there was no violation as charged in the administrative citation, or a
modification to the amount owed was made.
1.24.070 Request for administrative citation appeal hearing.
A. The offender may make a written request for an administrative citation appeal hearing ("hearing"),
in the manner provided for on the citation form, within fifteen calendar days from the mailing or
personal service date of the administrative citation. The offender may contest an administrative
citation on the grounds that the violation did not occur, that the violation was corrected prior to
issuance of the citation, or that they are not the responsible party with regard to the violation. A
deposit in the same amount as the fine designated on the administrative citation must accompany
the request for hearing and be filed with the City Clerk within fifteen calendar days from the
mailing or personal service date of the administrative citation. Incomplete requests shall not be
accepted.
B. Advance Deposit Hardship Waiver. The city manager or their designee may waive the requirement
of an advance deposit and issue the advance deposit hardship waiver only if the cited party
submits a sworn declaration, in the manner provided for on the citation form, together with any
supporting evidence demonstrating the person's actual financial inability to deposit the full
amount of the fine in advance of the hearing.
1.24.080 Manner of conducting administrative citation appeal hearing.
A. An administrative citation appeal hearing (“hearing”) shall occur at the time and place designated
in the notice of hearing, which shall be served in accordance with Section 1.23.060 of this code.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no hearing to contest an administrative citation shall be held
unless the fine has been deposited in advance in accordance with Section 1.24.070(A) or an
advance deposit hardship waiver has been obtained in accordance with Section 1.24.070(B).
B. The decision maker shall hear and consider all relevant evidence, including, but not limited to,
applicable staff reports, oral, physical and documentary evidence regarding the alleged violation.
C. Admission of evidence and the conduct of the hearing shall be controlled by the decision maker in
accordance with the fundamentals of due process. The decision maker may, among other things,

set reasonable limits on the length of the hearing; limit the number of witnesses to testify for each
side where their testimony would be unduly burdensome or cumulative or repetitive in nature;
limit or exclude any abusive, argumentative, repetitive or otherwise irrelevant testimony; and
place reasonable limits on the right to cross-examine and present evidence.
D. The compliance officer shall bear the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that
violation(s) of the code exist, or, in the case of administrative citations, that the violation(s) existed
at the time the administrative citation was issued.
E. The administrative citation and any report submitted by the compliance officer to the decision
maker shall constitute prima facie evidence of the respective facts contained in those documents.
F. Oral evidence may be given under on oath or affirmation.
G. The responsible party may be represented by anyone of their choice or may represent themselves.
H. The hearing is intended to be informal in nature. Formal rules of the California Evidence Code and
discovery shall not apply.
I. Hearsay evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining any direct evidence.
1.24.090 Failure to attend hearing.
The failure to appear at a scheduled hearing without prior notice and request for continuance shall
constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing. A person's failure to appear at the administrative hearing
shall be presumed an admission to the violation indicated in the enforcement action, and such person
will forfeit any fine deposit submitted.
1.24.100 Administrative decision following hearing.
A. Issuance of Administrative Decision. After considering all of the testimony and evidence submitted
at the hearing, within ten calendar days after the conclusion of the hearing, the decision maker
shall issue a written decision in the form of an administrative order upholding, modifying, or

deposit shall be retained to meet the amount imposed. In cases of an approved hardship
waiver, or outstanding fines or penalties, the decision maker shall specify a date by which the
fine or penalty is to be paid to the city.
D. Limitations on Filing Judicial Action. The administrative decision shall include a statement that the
person may seek judicial review of the administrative order by doing one of the following:
4906-6556-6984 v3 Page 19 of 29

1.25.020 Applicability.
A. Enforcement of the Rohnert Park Municipal Code (hereinafter, "code") throughout the city is an
important public service and is vital to the protection of the public's health, safety and quality of
life. A comprehensive code enforcement system uses a combination of judicial and administrative
remedies to gain compliance with code regulations. This chapter outlines precise regulations that
can be effectively applied in judicial and abatement proceedings and further establishes uniform
procedures for the proper application of nuisance abatement hearings and remedies to resolve
code enforcement cases and appeals.

affected by nuisance abatement action. Due process of law includes adequate notice of the
violation and enforcement remedy chosen by the city, an adequate explanation of the reasons
justifying the nuisance abatement action taken by the city, and an opportunity to participate in the
appropriate enforcement or appeal hearing. These procedures are also intended to establish a
forum to efficiently, expeditiously and fairly resolve issues raised by any nuisance abatement
action.
C. The nuisance abatement process provided for in this chapter is an additional enforcement remedy
to all other legal remedies, criminal or civil, which may be pursued by the city, to address any
violation of this code or other public nuisance. Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed a waiver of
any other enforcement remedies found within this code.
1.25.030 Definitions.

same meaning as provided for in Chapter 1.23 of this code.
1.25.040 Notice of violation and order to abate.
A. Whenever a compliance officer charged with the enforcement of any provision of this chapter
determines that a violation of a provision of the code exists, the compliance officer shall have the

chapter has not been abated and ordering such parties to abate the nuisance within a date
specified.

the premises should not be declared a nuisance and abated at the expense of the parties
and/or why the costs of such abatement should not become a charge against the premises;
and
7. A statement advising the owner that if legal action is instituted by either the owner or city in

abatement costs, including incidental expenses, incurred by the city for administration, code
enforcement or abatement by the city, as it may have incurred prior to abatement by the owner.

Copies of the decision shall be sent to the property owner, responsible party, compliance officer
and the city clerk.
C. Order to abate. If the decision maker upholds the notice of violation and order to abate the
nuisance, then the decision shall provide a date for abatement of the violations at such time as the
hearing officer deems reasonable. If the violation implicates a First Amendment right, the order
shall also provide that the order to abate is suspended until the responsible party exhausts or fails
to exhaust any applicable judicial remedies. The abatement order shall further state that if the
nuisance is not abated within the time provided, the nuisance shall be abated by the city at the
parties' expense and the expenses may be made a lien or special assessment against the property.
D. If the decision maker determines that the existing nuisance is likely to recur after the abatement,
the owner may be directed to take adequate precautions for a period of time not to exceed twelve
months so that the nuisance will not recur.
E. Refunds and Payments of any fine.
1. If the decision maker determines that the notice of violation should be canceled, then the city
shall promptly refund any deposited fine.
2. If the decision maker determines that the notice of violation and order to abate should be
upheld or amended, the decision maker shall determine the amount of fine to be imposed.
Any fine deposit shall be retained to meet the amount imposed.

of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6.
1.25.110 Abatement cost records.
A. Where the compliance officer is required to cause the abatement of a public nuisance pursuant to
the provisions of this chapter, they shall keep or cause to be kept an accounting of the cost
incurred, including all time spent by city and contract personnel in addressing and abating the
nuisance, incidental expenses of such abatement, and attorney fees if the city elects, at the
initiation of the abatement proceedings, to seek recovery of its own attorney fees. Upon
conclusion of such abatement, the compliance officer shall submit an itemized statement of costs
to the city clerk. Costs of abatement shall begin to run from the date of the notice to abate, except

in cases of summary abatement, in which case costs of abatement shall begin to run from the date
the enforcement officer became aware of the nuisance requiring summary abatement.
B. The city may seek to recover attorney fees incurred for an abatement action and related
proceedings in those individual actions or proceedings in which the city elects, at the initiation of
that individual action or proceeding, to seek recovery of its own attorney fees. If the city elects to
seek recovery of its own attorney fees, attorney fees may be recovered by the prevailing party in
said action or proceeding.
C. Time spent by city personnel shall, in addition to an employee's hourly rate of pay, include city's
customary overhead expenses for provision of benefits and use of office space and related
resources. Time spent by contract personnel shall be charged at actual cost to the city.
D. The term "incidental expenses," as used in this section, includes, but is not limited to, the actual
expenses of the city in the preparation of notices, specifications, and contracts, inspection of the
work and costs of printing and mailings required by this chapter. "Attorney fees" shall include fees
and expenses of outside counsel and time spent by the city attorney and his or her staff, calculated

A. Upon receipt of the statement of costs, the city clerk shall set for hearing before the city council
the matter of the report of costs. The city clerk shall cause notice to be given in the manner
provided for in Section 1.23.060 to the owner of the property to which the same relates, any
responsible party, and to any other interested persons who requests notice, at least ten days in
advance of such hearing and shall provide a copy of the statement of costs.
B. At the time and place fixed for receiving and considering the statement of costs and expenses of
the abatement, the city council shall hear and pass upon the statement, together with any specific
objections or protests raised by any of the persons liable to be assessed for the costs of abating
such nuisance. The city council may make such revisions, corrections, or modifications to the
statement as it may deem just or necessary. The hearing may be continued from time to time.
C. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the city council shall adopt a resolution determining the costs of
abatement. The city council may also require, by resolution, that the costs be a nuisance
abatement lien or special assessment upon the subject property as provided for in Section
1.25.150 of this code. The decision of the city council shall be final and conclusive.
1.25.130 Treble costs of abatement.
The city council provides that, upon entry of a second or subsequent civil or criminal judgment
within a two-year period finding that an owner of property or a person is responsible for a condition
requiring abatement, except for conditions abated pursuant to Section 17980 of the Health and Safety
Code, a court may order the owner of property responsible for a condition that may be abated in
accordance with this chapter to pay treble the costs of abatement pursuant to Government Code
Section 38773.7. Additionally, as authorized under Health and Safety Code section 17980.7, a court may
extend its jurisdiction and enforcement measures to ensure compliance with abatement orders for
substandard housing conditions that pose significant risks to public health and safety and may, among
other things, order imposition of penalties and/or order the owner to pay all reasonable and actual costs
of enforcement, including attorney’s fees or costs and all costs of prosecution.
1.25.140 Limitations on filing judicial action.
4906-6556-6984 v3 Page 25 of 29
Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1094.5 and 1094.6, any action appealing the city's
final decision and order shall be commenced within ninety calendar days of the date the decision
becomes final.
1.25.150 Nuisance abatement lien and special assessment procedures.
A. Nuisance abatement lien. If the city makes the cost of abatement a lien against the property on
which the nuisance is maintained, the city shall:
1. Provide notice prior to the recordation of the lien to the owner of record of the parcel of land
on which the nuisance is maintained, based on the last equalized assessment roll or the
supplement roll, whichever is more current; and
2. Follow the procedure for nuisance abatement liens set forth in Government Code Section
38773.1.
B. Special assessment. If the city makes the abatement costs a special assessment against the
property on which the nuisance is maintained, the city shall:
1. Provide notice of the special assessment to the property owner by a method as listed in
Section 1.23.060, if the property owner's identity can be determined from the county
assessor's or county recorder's records, at the time of imposing the assessment, which notice
shall specify that the property may be sold after three years by the tax collector for unpaid
delinquent assessments; and
2. The city shall follow the procedures set forth in Government Code Section 38773.5.
C. Lien procedures. Whenever the amount of any fine, fee or penalty and/or cost imposed pursuant
to this chapter in connection with real property has not been satisfied in full within the time
periods set forth in this chapter and/or has not been successfully appealed, this obligation may
constitute a lien against the real property on which the violation occurred as follows:
1. The lien shall have no force and effect until recorded with the county recorder. Once
recorded, the administrative order shall have the force and effect and priority of a judgment
lien governed by the provisions of Section 697.340 of the Code of Civil Procedure and may be
extended as provided in Sections 683.110 through 683.220, inclusive, of the Code of Civil
Procedure.
2. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the judgment remaining unsatisfied pursuant
to law.
3. Prior to recording any such lien, the director of finance shall prepare and file with the city
clerk a report stating the amounts due and owing.
4. The city clerk shall fix a time, date and place for hearing such report and any protests or
objections thereto before the city council. Each protest or objection must contain a
description of the property in which the protesting party is interested and the grounds of
such protest or objection. Protests or objections shall be limited to the amount of the lien,
not the underlying violation of this code. The city council, after the hearing, shall adopt a
resolution confirming, discharging or modifying the amount of the lien.
5. The director of finance shall cause written notice to be served on the property owner no less
than ten days prior to the time set for the hearing.
4906-6556-6984 v3 Page 26 of 29
6. Thirty days following the adoption of a resolution by the city council imposing a lien, the city
clerk shall file the same judgment lien in the office of the county recorder of Sonoma County.
The lien may carry such additional administrative charges as set forth by resolution of the city
council.
7. Once payment in full is received by the city for outstanding fines, fees, penalties and costs,
the director of finance shall either record a notice of satisfaction or provide the property
owner with a notice of satisfaction so they may record this notice with the office of the
county records. Such notice of satisfaction shall cancel the city's lien.
1.25.160 Summary abatement
Whenever any condition on or use of property causes or constitutes or appears to cause or
constitute an immediate hazard or threat, any compliance officer or their authorized representative
shall have the authority to institute the following procedures:
A. Notice. The code compliance officer shall attempt to make contact through a personal interview, or
by telephone, with the owner or responsible party, if any, occupying or otherwise in real or
apparent charge and control thereof. In the event contact is made, he or she shall notify such
person or persons of the danger involved and require that such condition be immediately removed,
repaired or isolated so as to preclude harm to any person or property.
B. Abatement. In the event the code compliance officer is unable to make contact as hereinabove
noted, or if the appropriate persons, after notification by the code compliance officer, do not take
action as specified by such official, within twenty-four hours, or a lesser period if deemed
necessary, then the code compliance officer may, with the approval of the city manager or their
designee, and the City Attorney take all steps deemed necessary to remove or isolate such
dangerous condition, or conditions, with the use of city forces or a contractor retained pursuant to
the provisions of this code. The abatement shall include all actions necessary to secure the
premises to prevent further occurrence of the nuisance.
C. Summary abatement actions shall not be subject to the notice and hearing requirements of this
chapter, and a compliance officer shall not be prohibited from summary abatement actions after
initiation of proceedings pursuant to this chapter, if immediate action at any time becomes
necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety. Summary abatement shall be limited
to those actions which are necessary to immediately remove the threat.
D. The expense of summarily abating a nuisance shall be a charge against the persons creating,
causing, committing or maintaining it. The city may make the expense of abatement of the
nuisance a debt collectible in the same manner as any other civil debt owing to the city and may be
made a special assessment or lien upon the property pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section
1.25.150(A) or (B).

any disturbance, criminal activity, or violation of these House Rules attributable to any
4906-6556-6984 v3 Page 28 of 29
tenant(s), household members, children, guests, or visitors shall constitute a material lease
violation and shall be cause for immediate termination of tenancy and eviction from the unit.
5. The property manager will assign and control all parking and common areas to ensure that
activities occurring there do not constitute a public nuisance, disturbance of the peace,
disturbance of quiet enjoyment of the occupants of the property or neighboring properties,

Introducing Amendments to
RPMC Title 1
Alicia Giudice, Director of Development Services
Jenna Garcia, Housing Manager
Background
Title 1 provides a comprehensive framework for managing code violations.Chapters
1.24-1.27 detail tools used by City's code compliance team for managing nuisances.
Code team primarily uses two processes for enforcement:
1.Administrative Citation Process (Chapter 1.25)
2.Nuisance Abatement Process (Chapter 1.24)
Additionally, the Summary Abatement Process (1.24.180) can be used in urgent or
extreme nuisance situations that threaten public health.
Additional chapters:
•Chapter 1.26: outlines process for administrative hearings
•Chapter 1.27: outlines collection procedures
2
Background (cont.)
Current structure of these chapters present challenges:
1.Current chapter organization creates confusion for both staff and the public.
2.Cross-references make it difficult to distinguish between the two distinct processes.
3.Both processes involve lengthy pre-noticing requirements, which can impede staff's
ability to address nuisances efficiently.
On February 14, 2023, the City Council directed staff to amend chapters within Title 1 to
streamline the processes and improve clarity and readability for both staff and the public.

Updates to Align with State Law
In 2021, California enacted SB 60, empowering local governments to impose fines for
violations of short-term rental ordinances.
Under the new state law, violations of Rohnert Park's short-term rental ordinance would
incur the following fines:
1.First violation: Up to $1,500
2.Second violation within one year: Up to $3,000
3.Each additional violation within one year of the first: Up to $5,000
Staff recommends updating Title 1, Chapter 1.16 to incorporate the new state-authorized
fines. This proactive measure would prepare the City for potential future challenges.
8
Staff Recommendation
Introduce an ordinance to amend the Rohnert Park Municipal Code Chapters
1.16 (General Penalty), 1.24 (Nuisance Abatement), 1.25 (Administrative Citation
Program), 1.26 (Administrative Hearings), and 1.27 (Collection Procedures) and
add a new chapter 1.23 (Nuisance Defined).
This proposed ordinance aligns with previous City Council directives and aims to
improve the code's effectiveness, readability, and ease of use.

ITEM NO. 8.E.
OAK #4899-0802-2797 v1 1
Meeting Date: January 14, 2025
Department: Administration
Submitted By: Sylvia Lopez Cuevas, City Clerk
Prepared By: Sylvia Lopez Cuevas, City Clerk
Agenda Title: By Minute Order, (1) Form a Disaster Response Planning Ad Hoc
Committee to Review Existing Emergency Plans, Policies, and Resources;
(2) Dissolve the City’s Education Committee; (3) Receive Report From
Mayor on Mayor’s Assignments of Councilmembers to City Council
Liaison Positions, and Sub-Committees, including if formed, the Disaster
Response Planning Ad Hoc Committee; and (4) Council Confirmation of
Mayor’s Nominations of Councilmembers and Staff to Outside Agencies
(Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA))
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. By Minute Order, form a Disaster Response Planning Ad Hoc Committee to work with City
staff to review existing emergency plans, policies, and resources to identify strengths, gaps,
and areas for improvement, and receive information about Mayor Giudice’s and
Councilmember Rodriguez’s assignments to serve on the Ad Hoc Committee, if so formed;
2. By Minute Order, terminate the City’s Education Committee;
3. Receive a report on the Mayor’s assignment of Councilmembers to City Council Sub-
Committees and Liaison positions; and
4. Confirm the Mayor’s nominations of Councilmembers and staff to outside agencies;
BACKGROUND:
Each year with the seating of a new Mayor, Councilmember assignments to City Sub-
Committees as well as Liaison Assignments and Outside Agency appointments are considered.
The beginning of a Mayor’s term with the establishment of committee assignments and
schedules is also a good time to consider the efficacy of existing Council committees and the
potential need for new ones.
The City Council Protocols (Attachment 1) outline the purpose, process, and procedures for
committee formation, assignments, and appointments. Pursuant to Council Protocol X(A) and
(B), the Council forms committees from time to time to study, investigate, and make
recommendations to the full Council regarding specific topics. Standing committees are those
that have continuing subject matter jurisdiction and purpose. Ad hoc committees are those that
have a specific purpose and a limited direction. Pursuant to these Protocols, the Mayor appoints
members to the Council committees.
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
OAK #4899-0802-2797 v1 2
The Mayor also designates the term of the committee and identifies whether it is a standing or ad
hoc committee.
ANALYSIS:
1. Disaster Response Planning Ad Hoc Committee
City staff recommends the Council create a Disaster Response Planning Ad Hoc Committee for a
limited duration of no more than 12 months and include two council members among others.
This ad hoc committee will serve as an advisory committee to the City Manager’s Office for the
purpose of working with City staff to review existing emergency plans, policies, and resources
and to identify strengths, gaps, and areas for improvement.
Staff believes the Council can form the ad hoc committee by minute order due to its short-term
(ad hoc) assignment. If it is the Council’s direction to form this ad hoc subcommittee, the Mayor
has indicated he will appoint himself and Councilmember Rodriguez to the Disaster Response
Planning Ad Hoc Committee.
2. Termination of City’s Education Standing Committee
On January 13, 2009, an Education Ad Hoc Committee was created to “work with educators to
accomplish mutual partnerships that benefit students and the community through coordination of
recreation, use of facilities, and resources” (Attachment 2). From 2009 to 2011, this committee
was consistently referred to as an ad hoc committee. However, starting in 2012, it was listed as a
standing committee. After review, staff has found no evidence that the Council acted to convert
the Education Committee from an ad hoc committee to a standing one by adopting a specific
purpose, assigning it continuing subject matter jurisdiction, or fixing a committee meeting
schedule as required by the Council Protocols. Consequently, staff believes the Council’s intent
was for this committee to remain an ad hoc committee rather than transition into a standing
committee.
Separately, in the 1990s, the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District (“CRPUSD”) formed
the “2x2x2 Committee.” Each year, Cotati and CRPUSD appoint two representatives to this
committee, while Rohnert Park has not historically done so.
Staff recommends Council confirm the Mayor’s appointment of two councilmembers to the
CRPUSD 2x2x2 Committee to serve as Rohnert Park’s representatives. With these
appointments, the Education Committee would become duplicative and unnecessary and should
be dissolved.
3. Liaison Assignments
There are numerous internal and external agencies where Councilmembers serve as liaisons.
Examples include the Rohnert Park Chamber of Commerce, the Golf Course Oversight
Committee, the Rohnert Park Library Advisory Board, and the Senior Citizens Advisory
Committee. Per the Council Protocols, the Mayor assigns the members of those committees.
These assignments do not need Council approval, but the Mayor’s assignment of appointees to
these committees are provided here for the Councilmembers’ reference and information
purposes.
4. Outside Agency Appointments
The City is a member of several joint powers authorities, governmental agencies, and advisory
groups. Examples include the Sonoma County Transportation Authority, Zero Waste Sonoma,
Sonoma Clean Power, etc. The City has representatives serving on the boards of these agencies.
OAK #4899-0802-2797 v1 3
According to the Council Protocols, these nominations are made by the Mayor and confirmed by
Council. In certain cases, City staff may be appointed to outside agencies with the concurrence
of the City Manager.
The appointments to committees, liaison assignments and outside agency appointments are
attached to this staff report to give Councilmembers an opportunity to review and discuss their
assignments. For reference, the meeting details have been included for each appointment
(Attachment 3). Only the outside agency appointments require City Council confirmation per the
Protocols.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The adoption of the proposed minute order is exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act (“CEQA”) because it does not qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code
Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3), and because it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the City’s action would cause either a direct
physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
Making appointments to City Committees, Commissions, and Boards supports the City’s values
of communication and collaboration and Goal A “Practice Leadership at all Levels” as well as
Goal D “Continue to Develop a Vibrant Community.”
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
Recommended Option(s):

Mayor Arnie Breeze — January 13, 2009
MAYOR'S OPENING COMMENTS FOR TRIP NEVV YEAR
2009 will bring the City of Rohnert Park many challenges, and at the same time,
many opportunities to change and improve the way in which this city has
functioned in the past. It is a very difficult time for any new leader to step into
position. From the Federal Government, to our State Government, to our Local
Government, we are all struggling with a fiscal crisis. It is my hope to provide the
leadership this year to reform the way in which this city has historically balanced
it's budget. It is not acceptable to continue to balance a budget with the sale of
precious lands. I will be challenging staff and my fellow council members to
reform our budget and begin to balance it in a more fiscally prudent manner. I
intend to direct our focus for the next six months on this very important task and I
hope to have support from my colleagues on this matter. In the short term, we
will need to find ways to cut expenses with little or no disruption in service levels.
I believe there are many areas for us to explore here. The City of Rohnert Park
has so many amenities; parks, pools, tennis courts, golf courses, etc. We must
safeguard what we have, and at the same time, consider new opportunities that
are emerging in the area of recreation that may serve our citizens better. We
must continue our efforts towards the "Safest City on the 101" and always strive
to protect the health and safety of our children, seniors and all citizens. In the
long term, it will be essential for the council and staff to find ways to increase
revenues. We need to rebuild our city's local economy. We need to rebuild our
commercial and business economy which will bring desperately needed jobs to
our community. We also need to rebuild our residential economy. There are
hundreds of homes in our community alone that have foreclosed. This is a
serious issue that has to be addressed.
I ask for the community's input, and support in the following months ahead. We
are your council members, and we are here to ensure that your community, our
community is the very best that it can be. We have a marvelous staff who are

Meeting Date: January 14, 2025
Department: Administration
Submitted By: Marcela Piedra, City Manager
Prepared By: Sylvia Lopez Cuevas, City Clerk
Agenda Title: Appointment of Representative from Rohnert Park and Cotati to the Board of
the Sonoma County Homelessness Coalition (formerly Continuum of Care) for a
One Year Term.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Re-appoint Rohnert Park Councilmember Elward to the Sonoma County Homelessness Coalition, and
Cotati Mayor Sparks as the alternate for a Term to Expire February 2026.
BACKGROUND:
The Sonoma County Homelessness Coalition, formerly known as the Continuum of Care (CoC), is the
regional body and organization with lead responsibility for addressing homelessness. Its roles include
allocating substantial Federal and state funding, setting policy (such as prioritizing who has access to
shelter), and selecting the Lead Agency (the organization to manage programs, funding, and data).
The Coalition is governed by a 17 member Board, with one seat allocated to Rohnert Park and Cotati.
The appointment to that seat is to be made jointly by the two City Councils. There are no restrictions
on the appointee; it can be a Councilmember, staff person, or member of the community. The cities
may also select an alternate member, and the appointee can also designate a proxy for any meeting that
they miss. Rohnert Park Councilmember Jackie Elward occupies the seat now and desires to continue
in that role.
Mayor Laura Sparks of Cotati is the alternate and would like to continue in that role. Staff has not
solicited interest from other Councilmembers as continuity on this board is highly valuable given the
complexity of the issues and the steep learning curve for new members.
Both Councils are considering the appointments at their first meeting in January. If the two Councils
agree on an appointee and alternate, we will forward that information to the Homelessness Coalition
staff. If there is no agreement, we suggest that the two Mayors and Vice Mayors meet to discuss the
issue before returning to the full Councils on January 28, 2025.
In addition to the time commitment and a strong interest in the subject matter, it is preferable that
Board members:
a. Be willing to make a three-year commitment to the extent possible. Homelessness is a highly
complex topic, with a significant learning curve. A three-year commit prevents frequent turn-
over and allows time to benefit from the learning curve. Experience or knowledge of federal
and state funding for homelessness and housing would help reduce the learning curve. Since

cities’ appointments to Boards and Commissions are made annually, so the Councils can revisit
their appointment each year.
b. Have an interest in and comfort with program evaluation and the use of data for decisions.
c. Be willing to ‘challenge the process’ – while the system is improving, it continues to evolve
from a fragmented system and needs Board members who are supportive of new ways of doing
its work.
It is important to note that the time commitment expected of Board members is substantial. It holds
meetings monthly that typically take a full afternoon. It also holds occasional additional meetings.
Much of its work is done through committees, each of which meets once or twice a month for several
hours. Board members can expect to hear with some frequency from advocates, providers, or others.
The topic of homelessness is also highly complex, with a significant learning curve required to be an
effective Board member. We estimate that a minimum of 12 hours/month is required to be effective.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is not a Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does
not qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines
Sections 15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3), and because it can be seen with certainty that there is no
possibility the City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT:
The Homelessness Coalition Board governs regional (County-wide) efforts to address homelessness.
Thus, this appointment is aligned with the Council’s goal of providing services to the unhoused.
Making appointments also supports the City’s values of communication and collaboration and Goal A
“Practice Leadership at all Levels” as well as Goal D “Continue to Develop a Vibrant Community.”
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
1. Recommended Option: Staff recommends that the Council appoint Rohnert Park
Councilmember Elward to the Sonoma County Homelessness Coalition Board, and Mayor
Sparks as the alternate.
2. Alternative: If the Rohnert Park and Cotati City Councils do not agree on a Councilmember to
appoint, we suggest that the two Mayors and Vice Mayors meet to discuss the issue before
returning to the full Councils on January 28, 2025.
3. Alternative: If the Rohnert Park and Cotati City Councils cannot agree on a Councilmember to
appoint, they can appoint a staff member from either City, a representative from a homeless
service provider, or a member of the community; there are no restrictions on the appointee.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
There is no financial impact with this appointment.
