Thank you Item 6 we have several pock amations miss Fleming you have the first one for water awareness month Thank you Whereas water is essential for every living creature and is a precious and limited natural resource that must be stewarded wisely for future generations and Whereas the city of Santa Rosa is the purveyor of the water resource in the Santa Rosa community And whereas the health of Santa Rosa's growing population and the welfare of our community depends on a reliable high quality water supply And whereas because water is a precious resource wise use of water should be considered a way of life And whereas Santa Rosa water encourages city-wide understanding and appreciation of the value of water efficiency And whereas the Santa Rosa community has long demonstrated a commitment to using water wisely by minimizing water waste installing over 56,000 water efficient toilets and nearly 15,000 high efficiency clothes washes and converting 3.56 million square feet of lawn to low water use landscapes and whereas the implementation of water use efficiency programs has resulted in an annual reduction of approximately 866 metric tons of greenhouse gases and 6498 megawatt hours of energy and whereas the city of Santa Rosa is the owner and operator of the regional water reuse system And is one of the largest recyclers of water producing high quality recycled water for many purposes Including irrigation parks commercial businesses and a community garden and whereas every job for every drop of recycled water Use a drop of potable water is saved now therefore be it resolved that I Tom Schwedhelm Mayer of the city of Santa Rosa on behalf of the entire city council encourage all citizens to use water wisely There's never enough to waste and proclaim May 2019 as water awareness month.

I was a memorial day and I would ask the chief and our other Law enforcement personnel to come on down unless you're undercover come on down and accept this proclamation You would never know Thank you Whereas the president of the united states and congress have designated may 15th as peace officer memorial day And the week in which may 15th falls as national police week And whereas there are approximately 900 000 law enforcement officers Serving in communities across the united states Including the dedicated members of the centers of police department who knowingly and willingly face the potential of injury disability or death for their bravery And whereas every day peace officers face the threat of violence and danger By putting their lives on the line to defend the lives of those in the communities they serve There are 50 000 to 60 000 assaults against law enforcement officers reported each year Resulting in an estimated 14 000 injuries 163 police officers lost their lives in 2018 Between 2009 and 2019 1656 officers died in the line of duty 165 officers were shot and killed between 2016 and 2018 To date this year 35 officers have been killed while serving their communities 15 of those deaths have been firearms related And whereas centers of police officers recognize that the primary responsibility of their profession Is the protection of the people within the jurisdiction of the united states Through up through upholding laws most important of which are the constitution of united states and the state constitution And the laws derive therefrom And whereas it is important that all citizens know and understand the duties Responsibilities hazards and sacrifices of their law enforcement agencies And that members of our law enforcement agencies recognize their mission to serve the people by safeguarding life and property By protecting them against violence and disorder and by protecting the innocent against deception and the weak against oppression And whereas it is critical that police officers and community members recognize and understand the importance Of community-oriented policing to build partnerships with citizens of san rosa to collaboratively Problems of local concerns maintain trust of the community And proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime and social disorder Now therefore it be resolved that tom schwedhelm mayor of the city of san rosa on behalf of the entire city council Does hereby proclaim may 15 2019 and may 13 to 19 2019 as police officer memorial day and week chief mayor city council members like to express my appreciation for recognizing peace officer memorial week And especially recognizing the work that the men and women of san rosa police department do on a daily basis providing services to the community As a proclamation said the statistics are somewhat sobering but With the support of the city council as well as the city manager when it comes to our training plans The work we do how we hire people and the people that work for us providing the services that we do We try to keep this community safe as well as members of the san rosa police department So thank you for recognizing peace officer memorial week Thank you if i invite all my colleagues to come down and personally congratulate you as well I'm sorry. I did have one card is dwayne de witt in the house. Sorry dwayne. This is for item six one two and three Dwayne de witt and i'm from rosalind within santa rosa I wanted to thank some of those winners Today for the water awareness But they already left should have let me speak while they were still here So the reason why is rosalind creek is something that Is dear to my heart and perhaps yours now that the city owns a portion of it Last year you bought land at 1370 burbank avenue and you got a portion of rosalind creek The creek has been a bit defiled But folks are working on doing positive things there and on the 20th of april There was a rosalind creek cleanup Now you probably didn't know but the man from amy's kitchen Also had his crew do a cleanup behind their facility further to the west on rosalind creek He just showed me a picture And they pulled out about 12 yards worth of debris which washed down We try to get it before it gets to that far, but sometimes you can't I'm really hopeful that you folks at the city Will begin to look at how you could be proactive on helping rosalind creek be a water efficient situation With our riparian corridor restoration You could get funding from the sonoma county water agency You could already be working on these things But I know because of the fire and other issues You may have other concerns But i'd like to see this rise up a bit and we in the community have been doing our part for over 20 years To help along that rosalind creek Now that you've got a portion of it you could get in there and help us We've always done it for free always gotten the debris boxes donated done everything we could Now we'd like to have a bit of a collaborative effort with city staff We've worked with alastor blifes in the past from the creek and environmental stewardship program But we need recreation and parks department to step up and be more helpful to now They actually have I guess the city ownership if you will the taxpayers on it But their department has the oversight of it So please bring that up to them that a really nice water aware situation Especially after such a wonderful wet winter we've had we could have done better if we'd have had their help Thank you for your time Thank you doing my again. My apologies for not giving two years sooner Staff briefings mr. City Manager. We have a fire recovery rebuild update Yes, we have one item to discuss tonight megan bassinger is here to discuss the cow home process Good afternoon. I'm megan bassinger housing and community services manager The housing authority of the city of santa rosa applied for and received a cow home disaster assistance grant In the amount of 1.2 million last spring hcd, which is the california department of housing and community development issued A notice of funding availability for up to six million dollars statewide for disaster affected areas The housing authority applied for a grant for 1.2 million, which was proportionate to the amount of destroyed structures in sonoma county The program guidelines required that households be at or below 80 of area median income They be owners at the time of fire They have an identifiable gap in their rebuild so the funds can only go to fill that gap So the majority of funds need to be in place And the borrower needs to be ready to reconstruct at the time of application And most importantly the post rehab value of the structure cannot exceed an amount identified by the california department of housing and community development That is currently 3,000 dollars and that needs to be confirmed via an appraisal at the time of completion So we would verify that at the time of application to make sure the proposed structure Would not be pushing up against that amount and then we would again confirm that at the time of completion The the program has been rolled out to the coffee park area Through public meetings through coffee strong. We've also conducted outreach via the city's website Um next door. We are looking at additional outreach Through direct mailings to property owners who have not started reconstruction yet I'd be happy to answer any questions about the program that you may have Thank you. So far. How many applications do we have we've received one application one application Okay council questions for mrs. Bazin here No, thank you for your presentation. Thank you Any others mr. City manager That's it for this evening. Okay. I want to roll into the city manager report. Do you have anything to share today? Not today. Okay. Madam city attorney And not today either. Okay council any statements of abstention on any items on today's agenda? Seeing none mayors and council members reports who would like to start anyone Mr. Vice mayor Thank you, mr. Mayor. Just giving council a little bit of heads up On a number of different fronts You might have seen a couple of articles related to smart over the last couple of weeks We did in fact Complete a study on the feasibility of taking the smart train east after we're done taking it north That was funded by the state of california after the state asked smart to consider that as a way to help relieve congestion on highway 37 As well as to look at the state's master train plan So that's moving forward. We've received an update on that And now we're asking the state for additional dollars to do the environmental and engineering work The second thing on the smart front is The train is actively looking at whether or not to pursue an extension of measure q That's the sales tax that helps fund the smart train Uh, as all of you know, it was passed Right before the recession hit and the dollars that were expected came up short So the train has not finished its build out yet By extending the tax smart feels like they can lower their bond Repayment year over year which would allow them to continue to build out faster to get up through cloverdale So you'll see those conversations moving forward and at the same time You'll see a conversation from snowman county transportation authority about the reauthorization of measure m A measure m is the local sales tax that we use as matching funds for state and federal projects It's not anticipated that those two will move forward at the same time smart is eyeing the primary up the 2020 primary, which is march and measure m is looking at November of 2020 I've been working with city staff on the measure m conversation To see what projects are currently in the pipeline that a an extension or a reauthorization might be able to go towards So if you do have input on that I'm sure we'll bring it back to the council and have a full open discussion As well as this moves down the tracks Let me know so we can start to do that For example, I'll be pushing heavily on access to public transit. Uh, and not just Not just lowering the cost of public transit, but also increasing the frequency As we move through this process Thank you. Anyone else have a report miss flummy Yeah, the water advisory council met this week and uh, the staff prepared a few items that it believes uh That they believe are in the public interest The water agency has hired a consultant to prepare regional water supply Reliability study and analyze water supply Variable variability and vulnerability due to climate change disaster regulatory requirements and infrastructure phase one of development In the work plan is scheduled to be complete by the fall of this year phase two the decision of the development of the decision to support tool model And it is slated to begin in early 2020. Um water supply conditions the water agency staff Provided an update both reservoirs are full with lake Sonoma Just over 100 and our water supply pool at lake menesino at 108 of the target storage curb And then a particular interest is that uh, pgne is not going to re-license The potter valley project and the federal energy regulatory commission Is soliciting interest for an applicant to take over their license Interested applicants must submit their interest to FERC by the end of june So far no entity has come forward Although there may be interest by a consortium of menesino counties. Um, it's critically important Not only is a hydroelectric energy project project But also as a water supply project as the water diversions through the project supply water to lake menesino Which provides water to supply to the communities in menesino and Sonoma county Additionally congressman huffman has convened an ad hoc of multiple counties including lake menesino and Humboldt and the WAC attack and the ground water Sustainability and the water department are working closely on this Thank you Great, and I just had two items. Um, councilmember tiffits and I last thursday went to san francisco Where the non-profit housing association in northern california recognized the city of santa rosa for our efforts to uh Pass or try to pass measure in Although we only received 61.7. We weren't successful But it was a um, I was very appreciative of their efforts to recognize santa rosa in the efforts that this council has been doing to address our housing situation and also I think we made some nice connections with others in the bay area to continue this efforts because I know as we'll be talking with our next item With how our comprehensive housing? Priority I think it was a good event to actually go and talk to some of the other folks developers who are in the same boat as We are And additionally last sunday was sinker tomorrow And it was the 12th annual sinker tomorrow's celebration in roseland and having been there when I was with the police Where I had the very first one the evolution of it. What a wonderful community event There was a packed house. I know the paper said about 10,000 folks a lot of good food good entertainment So it was great to see such a wonderful community event With that we'll go to item 10.2. And this is to provide direction to me regarding the Recommendation to the sinoma county city selection committee special meeting scheduled for the 15th and madam city clerk Do we still just have the one letter for the coastal commission from windsor council member debba fudge? That's correct. Nice mayor Debra fudge from windsor is the only one who submitted a letter as of now Great. Thank you. So I'm looking for direction from council. Mr. Tibbets direction or motion Is that are you looking for a direction or motion direction either way you want to do it? I support Do we have a second on that? A motion and a second all in favor I've received my direction. We'll be supporting vice mayor deb fudge for that position. Thank you Consent item mr. McLean Yes, uh item 12.1 Resolution resolution of the council of the city of santa rosa approving the project list for fiscal year 2019 20 state of good repair program item 12.2 resolution general services agreement for document with green tara Incorporated green reproduction services item 12.3 resolution bid award purchase purchase order for 2019 compact hybrid suv's Item 12.4 resolution bid award sole manufacturer person purchase order for 2020 Ford police interceptor suv's item 12.5 resolution third amendment to solid waste collection services amendment Agreement excuse me with recology sonoma marin dba recology santa rosa Thank you council any questions Mr. Davis Thank you, mr. Mayor. I have a question for joey might least I think it's joey on 12.5. Yes Hey, thanks. I'm sorry for not getting this question to you via email first But one question I did have is from reading this it was hard to determine actually the fiscal impact to the user or the consumer Or rate payer and I was hoping you could clarify that What if there's other expected increases for these folks? What is it going to be compared to what it was? So the expected increase is based on A combination of different indices that we look at a year over year So it's kind of hard at this point to tell you what would be the direct impact With this change here in this agreement Essentially, we're just moving One index from the other just to kind of make it a little more As it should be so for instance In the labor, excuse me in the all other index that was pension health insurance workers compensation and Labor and subcontractor cost We are actually going to be moving those to a labor index So it's taking one and moving it from the other. It's essentially a wash for the ratepayers It's a it's a wash. Are we sure of that? 95 percent sure okay, I could get I could get back to otherwise just a double check but Yeah, you know, I think for me, I'm probably going to either abstain from this one or wait for more information because It's it'd be really helpful for me to know the direct impact to ratepayers And I'm acutely sensitive to it just because it's been such a big jump for them already And I'm worried that the public's going to see these amendments is Is just kind of a couple more, you know cuts So I want to be able to know what the the cost impact is if I get a question To be able to tell them hey, here's here's the cost to you additionally and here's why but happy very much Happy to run some more details on that and get that to you. Okay. Thanks. You're welcome Any other questions for item 12.5? Thank you, joey this comes yet another question Hi My question is in regard to 12 13 12 3 and 12 4 And I want to thank whoever did this. Thank you I think this is the first time in a long time that we've seen a local car dealership awarded And I'm wondering if you can clarify Whether this was because of our local preference Or if they bid beyond, you know, their bid was low enough that the local preference turned out not to be a factor And if you can sort of let me know Where we are in the process of making amendments to our local preference to be sure that this happens More frequently. So I'll let I'll let brandon handle the local preference Once again, you know, this is going to trail into the next conversation about priorities We've had to significantly delay the purchasing manual as we try to wrestle with a whole series of staff issues That are coming really fast and furious. So again, that has to be handled first Once the purchasing manual is updated Then we will be getting into low the preference conversations that we need to address But that event horizon is longer than this conversation Thank you for the reminder And if I could jump in it did just, you know, the local preference policy Did pass unanimously from long-term finance, but then has been held up waiting for this other item I needed the update. Thank you. Did they did they use the local preference to We of course always use the local preference when it's applicable in a bid process I think to really respond to your question is more importantly Our job is really to promote bid visibility and ensure that as many Vendors as possible inclusive of that local element are notified of the bid and I'm not sure if council is aware So I will remind them back in 2014 right before my arrival We instituted the use of an electronic bidding platform and we've worked diligently to get All of our local bids especially the formal ones which is over a hundred thousand dollars for goodness services as a mandatory on that platform So there's one cohesive place where you can find bid documents as well as As a vendor be notified when bids are posted which makes it a lot easier for local and non-local vendors alike to be bid visible if you will I'd like to turn your attention to 12.3 in the analysis section Well, you will see on a regular basis that nearly in this case 173 vendors were notified Throughout the region and sometimes nationally of a larger bid like this And if you would look through at the actual response That we received A total of six vendors Downloaded the documents and identified themselves as perspective, but in this case we only had one bid So when there is one bid we still apply the preference as a math equation to show that it is applicable But therefore it doesn't really codified because we had the one bid correct and in the second one You will see that in that award that there were two responses Of which the local preference was applied, but they were still the lowest intended respondee I would also say to to use a proverb. You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make a drink And so we do our utmost diligence to ensure that the bid and and we try to reach out specifically to local vendors If we don't see them Responding and and I really want to thank you because I this is the first one I think I've seen that's been local in what five or six years So i'm really grateful to see it. Thank you. It is our absolute pleasure. Thank you Could you identify yourself and give you a role with this? Of course. Thanks apologies I'm brandyland tramle the purchasing agent for the city of san rosa. Thank you Council any other questions on the consent calendar? Seeing none. We have a couple items Or a couple cards georgia bear tea followed by dwayne duet How are you? Like to talk to you about uh item 12.3 here um I'm just I guess i'm wondering Exactly how it is y'all are receiving input like I don't like who told you That what the people of san rosa one is for the police department to have 10 brand new cars Because unless this is the price is right nobody is excited about that No, it's a brand new nobody wants that the people of san rosa do not sit around and go You know what we need to spend what millions of dollars on getting brand shiny new cars that look like Optimist prime for the police force. They need to be 2019. Absolutely, or I don't feel safe Nobody thinks that So the thing that you're doing when you're taking a bunch of things that nobody asked for Spending money on it to the police already get a third of the general fund I mean, I don't What if it's a third of the money that we have for the entire city to protect us I mean, I think we need protection from whoever's got a third like the police don't get a third of the money Are we going to lose a third of the money because they're not stopping what? Do you know I mean it doesn't make sense It's it's a problem. It's an overvalue. We've way overestimated how valuable one very small group of people are I'm guessing the people here at hansell Toyota are one of those people, right? I don't I don't think that's a representative sample of the city of san rosa And and what they want what we sit around going man, you know what I wish the city would do 10 brand new cars for the police department number one on my list I don't think so. I don't I don't think so at all. I don't think anybody in this room is diluted enough To actually believe that all right, so if nobody wants it and Nobody asked for it And we're spending millions of dollars We need to change that situation Right, I don't know where the avenues for input are But my guess is that the police have a lot more access to them than the general public Right, and then and then you know, I guess they also probably have all the guns and everything too So that I guess makes it a lot easier to listen to them Right, I think we need to change that. I think what the city of san rosa needs to do is take an active role In finding out what the people of this city are asking for Right, what do we want? Okay, and how can you give it to us because this is Ridiculous, it doesn't reflect us. It's not nobody asked for it. Nobody wants it It's and it's a waste. It's actively a waste This our resources can be put to much much better use helping the people of this city out of the series of Emergencies that you're governing has put them in All right, please fix these things Thank you. Thank you George. Do I do it followed by aileen bill? Hello, my name is dewayne dewitt from roseland. I'm a member of the sonoma county housing advocacy group And they're always trying to find ways to cut costs and on 12.5 my concerns Were that the recology Contract if you will I looked at the numbers and Although the staff member said he believes it's not going to cost anymore for the ratepayers There's questions People that live in apartments that don't have that as part of their rent and they have to pay for their Solid waste removal and then people that have their own Individual accounts They want to be sure that the rates aren't going up I talked with a man who was really also concerned about how When recology took this on They ended the free once a year small debris bin for everyone and they also didn't really allow if you could just Have it picked up once a month if you're the person that doesn't use Or I should restate that perhaps a person that doesn't have a lot of solid waste Many older people They're able to just use one small garbage can and only fill it once a month So I was looking into this trying to find where that information was and That's a dense excel spreadsheet. It's kind of hard to figure Where the savings are if there are any savings and I'm hoping that You perhaps could put this over and come back and ask answer mr. Tibbetts Questions which were quite good and I believe staff was very vague in their answer Not specific. They're just like, oh, yeah, we're going but how do we know that? So thank you for your time Please hold this over until another time. Thank you. Thank you. Are you doing a lean bill? Excuse me. Actually, I just had a question and whether or not you buy the suvs or not And they may not have the same caliber, but I'm just wondering why you're going with hybrids instead of electric vehicles Most I'm concerned about the planet. So that's possible that they come and The electric form I would certainly Go for that. Thanks Thank you Any other cards seeing none mr. Rogers you have this calendar Yeah, so I'll make this easier for my council members and I'll take Items 12.1 and 12.4. I'll move items 12.1 and 12 through 12.4 and wait for the reading of the text We have a motion and a second your votes, please And that passes unanimously and I will move item 12.5 and wait for the reading of the text second Motion to second your votes That passes with six eyes in mr. Tibbet's abstaining Can can we request that someone speak with? Miss bill about why we use hybrid instead of electric Just to make sure that she gets an answer to her question You making that request of the city manager Thank you. Thank you All right not being five o'clock yet. We'll move to report item 14.1 And just a council knows we have five different priorities So I've asked the city manager who will do each priority and then ask questions or solicit questions or comments from council as we Go through it. So um Just as an intro I'd agree note I have just received a request to be on a phone call At 5 30 with our partners at call oes and fema about An issue and so I will be adjourning and it's not anything to do with anything in the chamber I just will need to take that phone call at 5 30 today And it is it is an issue that we're wrestling with on the direct housing and making trying to make sure those renter benefits are extended um What I will say is I want to give A thank you to the committee members that we met a few weeks ago With the ad hoc the mayor put together to review tier one priorities and come up with a work plan The work plan in front of you Is an aggressive work plan It does not take into consideration Things that appear And I'll point to one that was mentioned today For example the potter valley project. It does not take into consideration needs That the organization has to wrestle through such as I mentioned earlier the purchasing manual which provides us opportunities Down the line to actually have a More robust local preference policy potentially addressing historically underutilized businesses So I would just tell council that this is an aggressive timetable And it's an aggressive schedule. It's going to take staff commitment But there are likely things that will appear and we've heard some of them today That will cause some some reasons to rearrange this calendar So one of the things that after council reviews this and gives us approval The mayor and I have discussed a way for adjustments to be made based on council process that once something is brought forward staff has about two weeks to respond and rearrange the schedule and then Provide you with the impacts because there will be impacts Down here in the in the in the lower chamber with me are the departments that are mostly impacted by this And so I will be asking Those department heads to come forward and discuss certain things on the agenda But I really want to thank the ad hoc and the public that turned out In at that ad hoc meeting To voice their concerns their questions and their support for various items under discussion So as as as council knows there were back in february council Established a tier one priority and a tier two priority listing We will be discussing the tier one tonight and the work plan associated with the tier one So the first thing is You're going to notice is that what we're doing is dividing these by Deliverable dates. They are end of month deliverable dates There are some things that are now being updated as calendar items on future agenda lists So to explain the discrepancy this gives us a little bit of latitude To meet some dates without necessarily living by the date that appears on the calendar So the first thing you'll notice is that this is an end of fiscal year date for financial sustainability and One of the things that we were tasked with was establishing a balance budget for fiscal year 1920 and future fiscal years one of the things that we uh that Chief financial officer Chuck McBride presented to you was the ability of the council and staff to work with With our with our partners and really actually achieve something that was pretty remarkable Which was the restoration of general fund policy to policy levels established before the fire What we will be bringing forward in the budget process is Not only a balanced budget, but a a reduction scenario to enact four to five million dollars in additional cuts That are required To get us on the track to having a balanced budget A long term the second item is to working with finance although finance is the lead here It's going to be a conversation with public works during the budget process To develop an infrastructure investment policy to deal with our assets long term and short term And then you'll also notice that there will be a discussion about Pension obligation which will include an overview of the PERS system and a request for action to invest About four million dollars in remaining pension obligation funds to start to Actually address the long term liabilities associated with pension By the end of august we are proposing to come back with a spending plan on measure m The reason that this is is being delayed a little bit is that there is that work is ongoing We're in consultation with county council on exactly how to establish the baseline for this investment And there is a meeting tomorrow about programmatic endeavors around this particular resource And the first meeting of the citizens oversight has yet to be held So we will commit to bringing back a spending plan and this will be an adjustment to the budget Once we get a chance to understand Fully the criteria involved with that and that is obviously a conversation between finance and rec and parks By the end of the Calendar year we're proposing to review the general fund policy in light of the fires Are we at the right percentage? Do we want to take a different approach to this? So we'll work through the long-term finance committee, but we'll ultimately reviewed by the entire council And then by the end of the fiscal year We're going to be taking on the task to review all policy potential policy alternatives to address Upcoming economic uncertainty. So that's going to be a year-long process again working with the long-term finance committee All right, if you could just pause right there. So if there's any questions from council on tier one priority financial stability Seeing none, please continue So the next is the ongoing task in front of us on recovery and resiliency The first item you'll see by the end of september. Yes I'm afraid I had organized myself based on The appendix to or attachment to and That's not organized in quite the same way Um, so can you just give a second? For me to make sure that some of the items I want to ask about are not They're not going to come through in exactly the same way Okay, thank you. I'm sorry. That's okay. I just needed a pause to catch up and make sure that I was Coordinated the right way So one of the things we're hoping to do is um have some more um clarity this summer from our partners at this state housing and community development around dr resources And hope to bring back and implement a implementation strategy by the end of september what I will say is this is dependent upon Hcd state hcd actually Um Getting approval from the federal government and moving forward on their program That they have submitted to the federal government. So the while this is a date we're shooting for It does have the potential to move because there's some variables outside of our control Also, you'll notice that by the end of october We're in a process of uh Moving forward fired in building codes. Um, I'm going to have uh the chief Discuss this a little bit. Um, so that he he can give you Exactly what what we're shooting to do before between now and the end of october Hello, uh, tony gozner fire chief for the city of santa rosa. So yes, we're in the process of doing uh fire and building code updates Every three years the codes come up for review In changes and we are working uh diligently with other county partners As well as the city's building department moving forward So on december, uh, I believe it's december 1st We're going to have a public hearing on building codes december 31st It'll come back to you for approval. Uh, we have every opportunity We're going to have multiple study sessions probably two or three study sessions because we're tying Tying it into the community wildfire protection plan as well So they're running parallel with each other But you guys will have uh plenty of time for opportunity for input To see if we want to change anything make any of the Restrictions a little bit more restrictive for building in a wildland urban interface That process should be included by the end of october for a january 1 implementation And you'll notice there um the first we've we have scheduled the first of those Sessions to be on 7 16 19 And that is the first of three council sessions in addition to additional community work that we'll be doing around this plant If I could just add the community wildfire protection plan, we have a steering group that is uh comprised of People that live in fountain grove oakmont the state Us clearly there's a seven or eight on the steering group That's going to be working with the consultant moving forward. There's going to be a lot of community outreach It's a three-year granting opportunity Meaning we need to get it done within the three years our plan is to be done within a year of today so We have an aggressive timeline and we're it's going to be a lot of community involvement moving forward with the cwpp and the next item is the public assistance program and this is just To lay out the entire public assistance program in a presentation would have would have stopped us in in our tracks But we wanted to highlight some things that we need to move forward One of them is the adoption of a site plan and schedule for our fire station rebuild the second is a restoration of elements of our destroyed and damaged infrastructure, so there's a I pledge to get by the end of this calendar year to complete coffee park reconstruction phase one Open bicycle and pedestrian bridges along parker hill and restore all street lighting that was damaged in the fires There is also We will be moving forward with a variety of hazard mitigation grant programs And we will bring forward those awarded projects and update you on delivery schedules associated with those hazard mitigation grant program Additionally, you'll see that the as the as the chief said Not only will the codes be adopted by the beginning of the the calendar year The final community wildfire protection plan is to be scheduled to be completed before the end of the fiscal year Which is again a very aggressive schedule We are pledging to try to complete the entire coffee park park Coffee neighborhood park master plan, which means Reopen the park park with all its amenities by the end of august of of next year and then The we're compledging to try to get all About trying to get 90 of the destroyed properties into the rebuild process By the end of november of 2020 And then lastly this is a date which will likely change based on the determination of when we actually Get an approval of our investment strategy But invest 38.4 million dollars in multifamily units in a five-year window, which is the prescribed window from the From the department of human development in and dc So there's a lot that we have to understand more about what those what the restrictions and the requirements are going to be on those programs But obviously that'll be an ongoing conversation with council And we have a five-year window to invest those funds in multifamily housing Okay, council questions on tier one priority recovery and resilience. Ms. Jones Thank you I very much appreciate The speed with which we are moving forward on some items And in particular appreciate the wild The community wildfire protection plan coming forward. Thank you for that um I want to make sure within the context of the community wildfire discussion That we include people who are not only in the fire hazard areas Many of us were affected by the fires Whether our home burnt or not there was still Impact within the rest of the community people lost their work in those areas people lost their child care in those areas Even if they didn't live there So it concerned me to hear Sort of a list of stakeholders that Sounded as if it didn't include everyone in our community who really did have an impact even if it wasn't that direct house burnt down impact And you know, we have raised taxes in part because of Having fire losses. So the whole community is is in the process of paying for The damage associated with the fire. So I just wanted to make sure that when we did community outreach That that included the whole community Yes, for for us when we do the community outreach, it'll be the entire city There'll be multiple areas whether you live in the wildland urban interface or not It is a community meeting. So everyone will be invited because I thought I heard a list of participants that was limited That was a steering committee that's helping usher the process through so Uh, we we do have a number of members whether there's somebody on the steering committee that That is in the same predicament you're speaking of i'm not sure I can look into that I'll work with the fire marshal and and see if we can make some adjustments Yeah, I would just look for folks for whom there was a significant loss that is not directly Living their kind of loss because I know that we have people with those Yeah, I will say not everyone on the steering committee's Saturday loss, but it's through multiple different stakeholders. So I hear you and I'll take a look at it My second concern is um item seven Um, I think it's seven. Is that the one with the 90 percent? I I love the idea that we would like to have 90 percent of our homes completed It's not showing up here if you can move it to show. I think it was seven I yeah commit to entering 90 of properties into rebuild that means they've taken out their building permit And if they've taken out their building permit the codes in place Now are the codes that will apply to them And yet our code conversation Doesn't start until the month before in october and so so just so you know, that's for 11 30 20 The the codes will be adopted by the beginning of the calendar year. So this is so just just for point of reference I misread the 20 and was thinking 19 and I thought boy, that's really fast Okay So can we clarify while we're having that piece of the discussion? What the the date is for the all-electric ready ordinance to come forward because i'm my concern is to make sure that Ordinance catches most people who are building in the future. So so we will be moving forward in that conversation That's in in the climate action Conversation moving forward. I consider it also a piece of this conversation, which is why i'm Having a little trouble with it So I do you When we get to that can we confirm that it's coming? When well, that's there will be a date associated with that. Okay, I I may want to discuss that date I understood understood, but I do apologize I thought this we were talking about like the end of this year people would all have their permits and I was surprised This is a pretty aggressive statement even on number seven. I would suspect so The code process we're talking about is the process for january of 2020 So it is going that rapidly. Yes Thank you council any other questions. I had one The completion of coffee park reconstruction phase one since I know I'll be asked this question What does that entail by the end of this calendar year? That's our intention to by the way jason transportation and public work director The phase one component is an effort to regrade the property Do our best to try to reinstall the the play equipment and the turf in an effort to do Winter protection on the property and then we would come back and complete the other major components Through the course of the the remaining Through the course of the next year great, and if this is approved today Will that information be on the recon park website for that neighborhood? I believe it's actually already up there today We're right now Soliciting for construction for contractors. So we're we're actively working on trying to get phase one Underway great. Thank you Mr. McGlynn our next priority comprehensive housing strategy yes, so Comprehensive I think it's homeless is next All right. Yeah slide two had it go ahead. Yeah, it it My apologies so by the end of the of the Fiscal year we're we're gonna bring back some additional and one time suggested investments Right now. Obviously. We're not there's no there's not we're not in that presentation But the idea is to bring some suggested one-time investments based on the feedback that we've gotten from the Funds that we're working through the No, the Leadership the leadership council and their recommendations. So we're we're processing those recommendations and bringing back Additional one-time investments based on the gaps from that funding opportunity Then we also will be Rewarding our homeless service contract awards then by the end of August we propose to bring back Homeless service program outcomes. I'm going to have Director Gwine discuss that for just a moment Yes, Dave Gwine director of housing community services So by the end of August we'll have this current fiscal year data points of all of the city council sponsored programs And we'll be Reporting on the results of the investment and it may help inform our goals going forward for for example number of households Housed annually number of people entered into services. So we just don't have that data in time for the end of this fiscal year And then we'll be bringing back by the end of august a chat program review There has been some discussion about Use of city property and association with the chat program In mid july we'll be bringing forward a new tool that you will get a little bit of a preview in the budget process around But get a formal presentation about all city assets And when I talk about a property owned so that we can start to move forward on Disposition of that property or assignment of a purpose of that property. So we're working on a tool We're shooting to mid July to bring that tool forward and then we'll have a follow-up conversation In august around the chat program and council's desires to see how that develops So the commitment on homeless by the end of the fiscal year you'll see There are a series of criteria and i'm going to have Director guine again address each of those criteria So this is staff's attempt to collect The different feedback we've gotten from both home sonoma county and the city council On key measurements of the homeless service program So a and b are the number of people housed and sheltered Based on two years worth of data And so in august when we're in front of you with this current fiscal year's information and all the new investments you've done More rapid rehousing other we may want to revisit these numbers to see if they might be more aspirational Or whether we need to make any course corrections Then there's been input on the homeless management information system h m is this is run with our by our colleagues at the community development Commission what what system performance measures should we be looking at because that that current software program is designed Just to meet the minimum of what hud requires But our community wide where there's more information we want to know about our program investments And what would it take to plug that into one data portal? We would be coming back with a recommended metric to achieve those system performance measures for Reducing first time homelessness length of time homeless housing placements and retention We think in our discussions through the city council and home sonoma county that those are key measurements And so we how do we build the system so that that's routine and folks can access it? And then lastly there's many times Requests for what reporting should be required by service providers is it monthly quarterly? And what is the reporting format so rather than have a service provider have a contract from one entity and another Doing different reporting might we have a standardized format that would be the goal by the end of the year working through home sonoma county And again, we say the end of the year the end of the fiscal year 2020. Yes, june third night. Yes. Yes I just had a real quick question when 5a and 5b Because on this metric way about the city santa rosa and home sonoma county obviously home sonoma county There's only two of us out of the nine So the 1600 people in safe shelter 325 people houses that just the city limits of santa rosa or countywide that number is currently just the city limits Okay, so that's what I mean by maybe revisiting there and then when we look at c there How does can you talk a little bit about the collaboration with home sonoma county and cdc and the city santa rosa? Because my interest is what is the city of santa rosa have control of? That's that's true the I think our goal here by the end of the fiscal year is to have that one unit system measured Collaborately through the home sonoma county so that city council city of petaluma County board of supervisors are looking at the same performance measures and can access the information So we anticipate we have to platform additional software and and and data input tools into that system Okay, and can I just offer one other potential metric for d is recidivism because I know that's one of those metrics I think it's real important those that entering the housing and then for whatever reason go back into Experiencing homelessness. Is that something that we could add to that list to try to capture that data? Well, ma'am. Yes. I that was in our minds with the book for retention So we can change it to recidivism if you like. Okay, great council other questions. Ms. Fleming Thank you, director guine I have a couple of questions about when you say 600 people in safe shelter Can you speak to whether you mean six and 1600 people? serve throughout the year or 1600 Individuals so if a person comes in during a few different events of homelessness throughout a year would that be Let's say it's three events. Would that be three people or are we looking at? 1600 individual people Those would be 1600 people that came through family support center or sandal jonesall and they may have been Left the shelter but come back later So that's one of the things we want to mine in our information is how many folks are are having frequent visits or if at all So it's 1600 shelter stays not 1600 shelter people sheltered. That's correct. Okay Okay, thank you. And then when you say say shelter you did clarify what that included And 325 people housed this seems But great but rather ambitious. I'm curious if you could expand just a tiny bit on how you're going to fund that effort and execute it Well, that is part of on the other slide the homeless service contracts that you'll be reviewing in your budget process but those folks that come through the Homeless outreach service team host with that is combined with rapid rehousing dollars landlord and senate It's people that have traveled through the samu jones hall with that same resource But the the you'll see the the group that has the most success is families and that's through the family support center Thank you Council any other questions on this priority? Thank you. Continue So next is the comprehensive comprehensive housing strategy Um, I'm gonna I'm gonna excuse myself and I'm gonna let the person who's doing a lot of this work Director guin walk you through some of these these items All right. Good afternoon. David guin director of planning and economic development So the items we have listed here by June of next year by the next end of uh, I'm sorry june of this year Have the uh photo alternatives for our downtown specific plan Identified so that's the big first big step in terms of identifying where we're going with the downtown A set of alternatives are going to be developed and we'll have those identified and have a selection process on those Um, the second item there is an award of a public-private partnership technical advisory contract This is a contract that's currently out on the street, uh for bidding process and that's going to be the Individuals and company that helps us determine the feasibility of a public-private partnership to look at Utilizing this City land for housing development and potentially relocating the city hall And so that that is hope the goal is to have that done by june of this year By july one of the things that came out in the legislative season last year was SB 35 which it addresses density near transit We as a local jurisdiction need to put design requirements um Zoning codes amendments in place to facilitate that effort And so our goal is to get that in place by july. We have had interest from developers wanting to utilize SB 35 And so we want to make sure we're ahead of that so they can utilize that that rule by august The goal is to have the inclusionary housing Ornates in front of the city council This is a part of the housing action plan one of the housing action plan elements that have been underway for some time Uh, and along with that we're looking to try to bring a Commercial linkage fee ordinance at the same time So the point of bringing those together is to really address What it the funding that comes from housing and commercial activities that go into support affordable housing To show the full picture of the affordable housing impact to the housing authority The number six is a negotiation agreement approval for housing on city lots one of the things that the I'm in the housing action plan and one of council goals is to look at city lots to Generate housing so our goal is to identify those properties which we have go through a process of evaluation of what Issues are on those lots and put those out for an rfp to see what type of development is possible The ideally we would get into a negotiation on those Soon so we can have the conversation about what we can see on those properties and we're hoping to do that by august And then on number seven is a award of the general plan contracts This would be the contract to guide us through the next three years of updating the general plan So getting that contract on board by august will allow us to get a start on that process this year Start the we've already started community conversations over the uh past actually the first one is on monday I believe and we have a series of seven community conversations over the next few weeks To gather input from the community about what should be in the scope of work for this general plan that we would bring you as part of this contract By september of this year the goal would be to adopt the downtown specific plan This is again This is a key piece of the downtown housing strategy by having this plan in place again that identifies what the community wants to see Downtown it would also provide sequa analysis for that which would allow development to happen per Our guide per what the city council and the public wants to see in the downtown area So it's a it's an important key piece of our downtown housing strategy Number nine is adopt a non-discrimination ordinance by september And number 10 would be rentals a rental inspection program bringing a report to the council on that program Number 11 would be a part of the housing action plan as well We're looking at our impact fees on a per square foot basis for affordable housing This is something that has come up a number of times through various sources But it's something that we have we're testing out in the downtown high density residential multifamily incentive program That is testing on a per square foot approach to affordable housing to see how that would work and hopefully we the goal was to gain Guidance on that or input from that to see how we might do that citywide By november we hope to have our evaluation done of the public private partnership analysis for the contract that we award Over the next few months and that would be a key decision point This this state is probably either going to be late and we may need to look at depending on the timing if it's early in 2020 But the goal would be to have enough information for the city council to have a deliberation on what to do With moving forward on it with a p3 approach or looking at investment into our existing facilities And that's a key key point as we move Decide which direction to move By june of next year by the end of next fiscal year the goal is to have a rental inspection program implemented And present the general plan alternatives. So similar to the downtown alternatives where we'll have multiple alternatives to review The goal is to bring alternatives for the citywide general plan next year And then by the end of next year we have a ambitious goal to break ground of 500 new units downtown So again, this is putting the stake out there to say we want to see these units built With the number of policies the city council put in place over the past year and the number of conversations that are currently ongoing And with the specific plan in place. We're hoping that we can realize those units and then by 2023 the goals to have our 2050 general plan complete and adopted by the city council And that completes the comprehensive housing strategies. Well, thank you for that presentation council questions about any of this Seeing them. Thank you, david Okay, and we'll move on to the climate action plan which is the climate action plan By which was already completed at number one, which is a point of climate action subcommittee. So this was done At the last council meeting. So we're in the process of setting up a subcommittee for that Of the appointees Which is number two our goals to have that done Much earlier than june, but we put that data in there as a placeholder But we want to get that scheduled as soon as possible to start having important conversations about where we go with climate action plan By august the goal would be to have a study session report out on the cost of evergreen power In terms of implementing that city wide again, that's that's city owned facilities city owned meters that would be applying that to And then by october the end of october The goal would be to have an electric ready ordinance draft document for the council to to review All right. Thank you for that report council any questions on the climate action plan priority Mr. Vice mayor Thank you director So with the all energy electric being scheduled for By the end of october there's already been discussion about The building codes for the end of the year being implemented sooner I understand that there might actually be some wiggle room on this the state. Would it be possible to move that up? consistent with Having the discussion in the draft document for Public input earlier in the year One of the goals and one of the reasons for having the subcommittee scheduled sooner is to have that conversation about what that all electric ready ordinance is What that includes because part of having a draft document is is getting public input on any sort of ordinance change So we would need to start scheduling public meetings about getting input about what impacts that would have Before doing that I want to make the goal was to be to make sure that we understand what the what the Building code energy requirements are going to be what reach codes what regional reach code efforts are underway And then what an all electric ready ordinance would do All those are going to take effort In one way or the other so the your question about can we leverage and tag team on both efforts That's a conversation we want to have but at the goal is to have that lay that all out for the subcommittee Identify what the impacts are going to be the resources needed and get direction from that subcommittee Of which direction to move So I hope i'm answering your question. I think there's more to that I don't have all the information in front of me in terms of the reach code efforts and the building code information But i'm i'm prepared to bring that forward at the subcommittee Yeah, mostly you answered the question I think for me also when I look at draft document by the end of october What that tells me is that once we have that document then we're going to open it up for additional public comment What i'm asking is if we can have a draft of that policy earlier in the year for folks to be able to comment on it Sooner yeah, I I agree with you I think what this probably should say is a draft a draft ordinance Essentially is for for you to act on because the the goal would be the reason why it's in october and not earlier is because of that Public process that we need to go through um to get to a point where we have a draft ordinance for the council tree so If I may though also is that um these dates were discussed amongst the the executive staff amongst the um departments And so yes part of it is the public process that we need to go through but this is also What's realistic? That staff is able to produce by what time So if you want to move that piece up, we may be looking at moving something else later Yeah, I understood and I know that we're when we finish going through all of this We're obviously going to have other items that are going to have the same discussion. Yes My question really was about The status on here of the draft document And hoping that instead what we're actually talking about is if it's going to be that late adoption of a policy Because I do believe once you put the draft document out there There's less staff time for that call it month or two months where you're gathering input on it or people are submitting input On it where that timeline doesn't get truncated Regardless of when we started And and that is certainly a discussion that that you can have I know Sean is not able to be here right at the moment But the words on this were selected. I believe carefully so that it was intended to be a draft by 10 31 19 whether that's You know in other places it's it's adopt the ordinance by that time so again You know, unfortunately the city manager should not able to be here right at the moment, but that's a discussion comments already Yes, so that's a discussion that you can all have but I just want to say I don't think it was a mistake that it was written as a draft document If I can just add to because I have had conversations with the city manager So i'll be the chair of the climate action subcommittee and I think as director guin said our first conversation We may say we want to bump this up before anything else Because all I for one will need an update. Okay, where are we because I know this is not a foreign topic to staff So we get that updated and i'm guessing the three of us will say either. Yeah, move it up here What would be realistic and then go to what the city attorney said if we do want it by this date There will be a consequence somewhere else on these that's the way I would see after our first meeting Yeah, and I think you're answering my question In a way that that is better understood What I didn't want to have happen is even if we were to have this discussion in the climate action subcommittee We've seen from other things that we've gotten worked on at the subcommittee that once they come to the council It still sits and waits for time So I want to make sure that if we're going to have that conversation at the subcommittee level There is the actual ability to talk about how we impact the broader council agenda Yes Mr. Sawyer Thank you, ma'am Mr. Guin I'm sure there are all sorts of things that we would like to change the dates on In this it is a very aggressive timeline and I and I appreciate that because if we don't have aggressive timelines Things can slow down We did receive a couple of emails about this particular item the all-electric ready ordinance and one of the emails Suggested or inferred that you would feel that That there was not that there wouldn't be a significant amount of staff time involved In producing this could you respond to that? Yeah, I Don't recall ever saying that it wouldn't take more staff time I think one of the things that's important to remember is again as we talked about a change in ordinance like this A requirement that we put on construction and building and homing. It is a public process So it does take staff time to set up those public meetings Make sure it's done correctly because the last thing we want to do is bring an item to council That hasn't been properly vetted or provided input from the community So it is going to take enormous amount of staff time And by that I mean drafting ordinances seeing what other agencies are doing and understand best practices How are we going to measure it? What's the end goal? How does that tie to the climate action plan? Everything that is important that I think the council would want us to to present That's got to be prepared And so part of what we're hoping to do is again and through the subcommittee have that frank conversation Lay it out Get the clear direction understand where the council wants to go with it and then from there prioritize Amongst all the rest of the city goals and how we move things forward because I do have to prioritize staff time Depending on what the what the top priority is So yes, it will take staff time We feel like if we want to move forward with this all electric ready ordinance the way it is now This this date is what it would take to get that done. Thank you. Yeah miss gomes I just want to confirm that I understood what you just said Because it sounds to me as if the draft comes at 10 31 And then we start that process that you just described which is a lengthy and time-intensive process It pushes this ordinance back For adoption pretty far and that is a concern If we can Go into the subcommittee meeting knowing what possible other options we might have so that this is a final Just you know a voting top conversation on 10 31 instead of a introductory Conversation on 10 31. I would appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah, we'll be very clear at the subcommittee about what What exactly a document is on what dates we can have that that conversation? Thank you Mr. Davis Thank you, mr. Mayor. So last or two weeks ago. We we had a meeting where We discussed a date for the minimum wage Conversation not seeing it in here. So what's the reason for that? What's what's the staff capacity to take that on right now? So it's not in the packet. It's not a tier one Priority so it didn't it's not in the presentation, but if you do look at the The schedule It was included on the schedule Look for it Yes, the attachment to It is listed on that. I believe that it is july 16 16 okay good Okay, thank you david mr. Vice mayor So additionally, um, I did have a meeting earlier today with with sue one of the items that we talked about that we removed in the Priority setting the the goal setting was the open government task force Implementation committee's body of work We did discuss sort of a realistic timeline of when that would be finished Just so that the public knows we have a draft of the Status report for all of the elements. We have a draft of the sunshine ordinance And then we're about to have from staff the draft expenditure Requirements to meet that ordinance all three of those are going to be coming back They'll be public soon and then they'll be coming back to the committee for one last review About a month from next week So that'll be available mid june To be able to Assuming it gets approved from the the subcommittee to then come to the full council So I just wanted to make sure that we also threw that one out there Because while not technically a tier one priority The reason that that was dropped off the priority list entirely was because the body of work was Basically finished Thank you for that update any other questions from council Ms. Gomes I'm very interested in appreciate it appreciative that the rental inspection program is showing on september 24th But then it doesn't come back For a while. I think i'm seeing it coming back In 2020 is that right? On june of 2020 It seems like a long time between when we First discuss it and when it comes back can someone He may have left or be stepped out for a moment. Can someone explain why the Long gap between we first see the rental inspection program and it returns to us And I appreciate that that's a complex conversation. I just was surprised it was that long Yes, so my understanding is that the September date the first time you the council would see that would be a report to council on the program itself In terms of what that would be and what it would entail the scope and get input on that and the time between implementation would be Pulling that program together getting the right staffing level staffing in place Hiring getting the program up and running so so that includes staffing up time Yeah, because it's it's definitely going to take resources to get that up and running. Absolutely. Okay. Thank you I appreciate Do we have any cards on this item daisy? Uh, okay with george aberti followed by dwayne duet It's like uh, it's like deja vu. You know like you remember earlier. I asked you How do y'all receive input? And it turns out there is a way I didn't I didn't hear anything in the tears about getting brand new police cars every single year I didn't come up. I guess nobody asked for that Um, but one thing I did hear was about our finances You know about keeping our finances together about making our finances transparent about making our Finances directly connected to what the people of san rosa want, you know with the understanding that you know, we're adults We know what we want And uh, you know when we we're capable of making decisions about what is best for us Right And so I feel like this is uh, these tears are a little bit let's say inefficient right now You know, they're a very cumbersome way Of receiving input. They move very slowly, right? I think we have all of the resources at our disposal To listen to the people that it is your charge to listen to Right and to give those people what they want All right, this is not complicated this your job is Hard to the extent that you make it hard for yourself by not doing what the people that you represent Need you to do and what they need you to do is be a government all right Not a bunch of you know handing out cars to your friends I mean that it's literally it's like what a 10 year old would do if I give him this job You know, he'd be like I want shiny brand new ones Grow up All right grow up Okay, I'm I'm not asking you for anything that we haven't already paid for all right You're making decisions about tax money. It doesn't belong to you belongs to us. All right You owe us. That's how taxes work. It's what a government is clean the water All right, establish a public bank do your job Okay, enough of this Enough playing pretend enough giving presence to your friends All right enough. It's I mean it's ridiculous Okay, there's no amount of money that you can give any one private organization It's not going to change anything. It's not going to make anything better. It's not going to get me off your back It's not going to get the the people of this city are leaving you are hemorrhaging residents All right, you can't serve people that are running away from you for shelter in other places. All right, I'm not running Anymore Okay, there's no there's no running for me. There's nowhere I can go. All right The the only thing left to do is for you all to step up is for you to stop shoving the poorest people of the city around All right, stop bullying us stop denying us what we have already paid for be a government And absolutely nothing short of that is going to stop us from coming here and demanding it of you All right Dwayne do it followed by kevin conway Thank you, sir. My name is dwayne do it. I'm from roseland I would like to thank you for having done this exercise to lead to this report I specifically wanted to focus on Your goal to meet housing needs Where you state you're going to support housing for all through protection preservation and production of housing I simply want you to preserve the houses that the city owns And not be destroying houses that are usable while we're in a housing crisis I submitted a form that I was going to Reference during public comment for you all to look at I can't stay so I've just referenced it right now And point something out based on what you've said, which is also in your draft To be approved tonight And that's about preserving the housing stock So listen to this if you will Room for all both great and small That's a nice little motto It was from a conference 20 years ago About building houses homes and communities put on by the california redevelopment association And the california association of local housing finance agencies The reason I mentioned it is because just before that had happened the sonoma county grand jury had pointed out That here in sonoma county Housing wasn't really being prioritized By the redevelopment agencies the money was being set aside But the housing wasn't being produced So you've been talking about a renewal enterprise district and other approaches to try to get housing The key is to save what you have And to also zone appropriately If you looked at the map that was given to you from the proposed transit oriented redevelopment project area in 2003 Called gateways, which is bordered over on the railroad square area And now your new approaches Are taking in the roseland opportunity area You could get housing in to a lot of places there by doing zoning You can save the houses that are over there and you can do a lot of positive things One of the important things though is political will And I point this out right now because I can't stay much longer That in your report You've also been talking about open government task force efforts and different things of this nature And you have the city manager right in here that When he offered opening comments the report states the public has offered a very compelling list of priorities for the city to tackle But nowhere in the report is that list available to us There's no compilation of what the public offered you that day That's the first step. Let the public see what we're talking about. Let us all share it and let's save those houses in roseland Don't destroy them. Thank you for your time. Thank you doing kevin conway followed by marty bennett Good evening mayor and council members. First of all, I want to say thank you for The discussion that you've had tonight about the all-electric ready Ordinance, I did make the request last week that that date of in october be moved up I mentioned and I know that the staff has met with stakeholders about this issue We were told that this would be an easy lift We were told that the wording of the ordinance itself would not be complicated And so I am here tonight To ask that that date be moved up One of the reasons I I'm asking is that on may 14th one week from today director guan Nicole trupiano Alecca civil and carolyn glanton from the rcpa and rachel kyken doll from sonoma clean power And the members of the friends of the climate action plan will be meeting to discuss this issue at length There's a chance that when we talk this out and we all get on the same page and fully understand each other There is a chance that the city staff would actually recommend and and that that the date Be moved up and that the ordinance could be passed sooner And as I said passing the ordinance would not preclude the council from taking any other action Whether that's looking at an all-electric reach code or understanding the new building codes Both of these things can be done after passing an all-electric ready ordinance Because much of the work has been done, but most importantly Passing the ordinance soon would allow many people right away to benefit from the opportunity to have an all-electric home If they want that and avoid significant retrofitting costs If either they had to or wanted to do that in the years to come So if it's not too much to ask I just hope that that date Would not be settled on tonight and can be rearranged in the a lot of two weeks and that the The ordinance can be discussed much sooner. Thank you. Thank you. Marty Bennett followed by Jack McCoyne Marty Bennett co-chair North Bay jobs with justice We do see that the citywide minimum wage Proposal is on your calendar for July 16th I want to remind all council members there is a direct relationship Between raising the wage floor and making housing affordable in this community There's also a direct relationship between the climate action plan And in a city which is jobs rich Being able to diminish the number of workers who commute into this city because they can't afford to live here If we raise the wage floor There's going to be minimal staff time required for this item The uc-berkeley labor center has prepared a comprehensive report on the impacts of 15 citywide minimum in the north bay We have an excellent legal legal memo on the issues from the california league of cities And north bay jobs with justice and the labor council and other advocates have prepared a model ordinance The campaign is moving forward very rapidly Um, we have had four study sessions and we've been working with four city councils And city staff in each one of those cities We had a somewhat of a pause in navado Because they have been threatened with a lawsuit over redistricting But we hope to restart that process in navado quite soon We were in the city of sonoma last night That um directed Staff to work with our coalition and to come back with the final draft ordinance We were in petaluma where they had their study session on april 8th Where similarly the council unanimously directed staff To work with us to come back with a final draft ordinance We believe that petaluma will be the first city in the county to implement citywide minimum wage by 2020 That will likely be in late june So by the time of your study session in july 16th We should have one model ordinance in place For us as an advocacy group It is a tremendously challenging to try to coordinate six cities simultaneously To establish a regional wage floor Higher than the state Santa rosa is somewhat behind If this can be moved up some we would be appreciative But we definitely do not want it any later than july 16th. So thank you very much Thank you jack buckhorn followed by anita lafellette Good evening honorable mares what helms council members and city staff my name is jack buckhorn i'm the executive director of the north day labor council and You have the opportunity to relieve poverty in this community to help the working poor To address the inequities and income that we see in our society and in our In our city Their studies that have been proposed that have been have been published that show very clearly that after um crisis after like our fires that inequity increases It's harder it's harder for our citizens to be here And it's not just housing. It's everything. It's very very expensive to live here It's even more expensive now that we've had these terrible fires You have the power to address it to bring dignity to those workers who simply want to work And raise their families send their kids to school. Maybe take them to get an ice cream less in a while I don't know they can't do that right now They're struggling at a minimum wage job and there are thousands In santa rosa that are struggling The study that we propose Will bring that data to you so you can see it you can make an informed Decision on how best to move forward with homelessness With affordability for housing with all the issues that you're dealing with on a tier one Excuse me for a second for being a little bit cynical. I have had study session items Scheduled before this city council in the past and and not had the study sessions So I would plead with you. Please don't let that happen this time. Please make it a date certain Let us present the data Last questions we invite the entire community because this debate is too important We have to have it business workers labor Social justice all of you This entire community community Let's have this discussion because honestly as As marty Bennett just mentioned Um, this addresses so many issues that are so critically important to us and moving forward So I'll just stop it right there. Please make it a date certain Thank you for putting it on A tentative schedule in the middle of july. Let's have that discussion. Let's move forward Wall Street journal on monday. This isn't just in california united states. This is happening across the globe Workers are trying to get to 60 percent of median income We're at about 35 percent in the united states a little bit higher in california If we go to 15 by 2020 Um, we can help Be on the cutting edge of this Even though we're not on the cutting edge. We're kind of following right now, but you can do it You have the power. Please help us address these inequity concerns in our In our community. Thank you. Thank you jack. I need a lafellette followed by isbell fisher Good evening. Anita lafellette with homeless action And um, I want to make a comment here I really want to encourage you to listen to homeless for housing for all because That's where we want to go with this and I know you're mostly addressing those at coffee park, but Just keep this in mind because you did say something about a rental inspection And I wanted to point out to you that there are a lot of rentals available if you'll look around not just Right here downtown, but if you'll look At some of the listings for berkshire hathaway century 21 alliance over on north street The mountain view villas over on pedal umahill road And some of the apartments for ham dullis Are vacant They have signs out They've been out for Some of them for a year You know, there are vacancies out there. So when you do this rental inspection, you might take a look At what looks to me to be gouging Because anybody who has a place to live in this city with our emergency proclamation in order Should be renting them And they're not And why is that because they want more money and that's called Gouging they're not looking at how they can help people who have no homes Either because they were burned out or because they're homeless Doesn't matter They're still not renting them. Why is that? Why are there vacant units out there? Why are there signs up all over town? I tell you because these Developers want to make a lot of money because they have more developers back east Who are investing a lot of money in real estate over here In california because it's very lucrative. There are a lot of us here And we have fires so Take a look at some of the Large developers who leave apartments vacant at the time they could be utilized For people who are homeless Thank you Isabel fischer Hello, my name is isabel fischer and I am with the north bay organizing projects housing task force I would like to request that the anti-income discrimination ordinance be moved up as an agenda item to the july 16th City council meeting which is the same meeting as we know that the 15 dollar minimum wage will be an agenda item According to attachment to the anti-income Discrimination ordinance is scheduled to be an agenda item during the september 10th meeting And I just really think that it should be discussed much sooner than that especially since it is related to the $15 minimum wage I grew up around here and when I was looking for a place to rent I can't tell you how many times I saw in postings no section 8 no hud So this is really important and please consider moving it sooner Um, I would also like to request that the rental inspection program be moved up Sooner than september 24th, which is when it is scheduled to be an agenda item Also, please start budgeting for the rental inspection program now as soon as possible so that that gap of time that Councilmember combs mentioned between the discussion and the implementation of the rental inspection program can be Shorter These very important housing concerns the anti-income discrimination ordinance and the rental inspection program should really be made a priority by being moved up To meetings that will happen sooner. Thank you very much Thank you. Those are all the cards we have. Mr. Sawyer, you have this item I do thank you mirror. I'll introduce a resolution of the council of the city santa rosa accepting and adopting the city council And executive team retreat final report and wait for the reading We have a motion in a second. Mr. Rogers Thank you, mr. Mayor. That's what we're going to right now Yeah, I I do I want to appreciate uh the format that we have this in this year I I know in years past my first two on council It's been very difficult to tell the public when certain things are coming forward and it uh I know you've got the rosalind library that is still out there that folks are wondering when We're going to have that discussion that's now been pulled into a broader conversation as well And I think giving some form of certainty to folks is really important in terms of Make sure that they understand when our priorities are actually expected to be met I am supportive of If not just a date certain moving up the $15 an hour minimum wage from the july 16th meeting I think if we hit that date and have that study session on july 16th We'll be coming in just short of a year after we unanimously added it to our agenda Just this last week. There was an additional study that came out from the new york times That I hope folks were watching it defined what a high quality job that didn't require an advanced degree look like And it grafted for all cities major cities across the u.s against the cost of housing and not too surprisingly santa rosa was one of the worst ratios between High quality jobs without a degree and the cost of living here In in fact in this national paper. It's specifically called out santa rosa for how poor we do on that So I am I am supportive of moving that up if not Sooner Then certainly making sure that we have some level of predictability for folks that that'll be on there on july 16 I already made my comments on the all energy electric And I want to make sure that we're also Again not losing sight of the open government task force recommendations that will be coming forward I think that those are An implied tier one priority for me, and I think for the council as well Thank you. Mr. Smears. Ms. Coleman Thank you, and thank you for bringing this forward. I I don't recall that we've had like a year in review Planning and I very much appreciate seeing it. So I want to appreciate the mayor and appreciate staff that we've gotten to this point where we're actually Knowing what we're going to be doing over the course of the year It's really helpful I want to express my support of the vice mayors And the members of the public who spoke for a date certain around the july 16th Minimum wage Ordinance if we are not able to move it up Date certain would would really help. I am aware of having seen things move And I think that's a very important one I also agree with the the vice mayor. I'm looking forward to our discussion of the all electric ready Not having the open government show on the calendar is a concern I hope that we can bring that forward and I also support the concept that was raised during public comment That the non-discrimination ordinance come up and that july 16th is a good date for that If it is possible for us to move the non-discrimination ordinance to july 16th, that would be very helpful. Thank you Councilor hannah go mr. Tibbets. Thank you, mr. Mayor I also want to support bringing forward the minimum wage ordinance a little bit sooner I think that it needs to be a conversation That is that is really grounded in a lot of research and community solicitation of input and Vice mayor roger's point if we start that on july 16th, that's going to get protracted The other I also want to express my support for moving up The all electric ready ordinance, you know, I've spoken with the advocates I've done a little research myself on this issue and we're talking less than 1500 dollars According to what I have found To get a home all electric ready and if that's the the financial consequence I think that's pretty de minimis especially when we look at baking that into a 30-year mortgage And it would be important. I think to capture as many units as possible now if i'm wrong I hope that the study session will prove that i'm wrong and we can get a good look at the financial implications Particularly to fire survivors that's going to be important and I'll be sensitive to that as well But but bringing that forward would be nice On section eight and rental inspection It's it's my understanding that miss howard had pretty much gotten the rental inspection program Pretty well developed and it seemed and I don't know why it was held up But it would be nice to to get that As well as section eight particularly section eight in my mind I mean we look at what we're talking about doing here with homelessness The people that I work with every day are coming to me saying Do you know anybody with a studio or a one bedroom or a two bedroom? I have this voucher and it's about to expire in five Five days or five weeks and then it and then they're waiting again for six more years And I think that that one tool is so important and might have the most impact actually of all of our anti homelessness initiatives You know and also and I recognize that I'm making a lot of requests Up here that have impacts to time So I also wanted this to recommend and I don't know if this this is helpful at all in the pursuit of say Rental inspection being and housing and community services That we that we put chap on the back burner. I want to try to give a little as I'm trying to take a lot The only logic that was an issue that I brought forward about six months ago And the only reason why I'm asking is that that program just has not shown results We wanted to bring it back to try to get better results But two things have subsequently happened that I think are important one is Advocates were awarded $250,000 through home Sonoma County. It's going to have a big impact possibly Larger than chap And again, if I had to choose between rental inspection and section eight and chap, I think that across the whole population Inspections in section eight may have the best and most consequential impact For people living in poverty and homelessness I'm slumming Thank you. I want to thank the staff for all of your work on this and for the aggressive timetable. I do Want to state my concern over the the nebulous nature of the home Sonoma County proposals and You know when we say 1600 people we don't mean 1600 people we mean 1600 shelter stays and when we Say 1600 people it's not clear to me how many people were currently Getting in shelters. So I don't know if that would be an improvement or or backsliding frankly and then I do really challenge our department of housing and community services to make good on a useful interface of HM is I know as a social worker that it's a valuable tool and Having that is is really important I want to echo what my fellow council members have said about the $15 minimum wage are working families simply can't wait This is something that you know will put food on the table for families and children and The sooner the better it may not seem Like much to many people who make well over that amount But when you're struggling at the end of the month and you're deciding between rent and and food for your kids I mean, that's just something that we can't Delay on any longer and and additionally I really support the the concept of not having um of having a non-discrimination ordinance Um and extending it beyond section eight, but also including vash and hopla vouchers And making sure that that there's no discrimination against any federally funded housing voucher within our city, so Otherwise, I think this is fantastic Go ahead. Mr. Tibbets and mr. Raj mayor. Thank you. I apologize. I forgot to bring up looking at the second attachment I'm not seeing rosin library on here even though that was in our tier two To me. This is a very actually it'll be a difficult conversation in the sense. It's revolving around budgets and the appropriation of money But it's easy in the sense of time because that's all that it is and so what I would ask is that on the june 30th Date that we have here in front of us when our budget items come forward from finance That we we list here that rosin community library is going to be part of that discussion So that the litany of advocates out there Know that we're going to be taking a look at this during the budget Mr. Raj mayor Just as a question for the 15 dollar an hour minimum wage It's listed as finance cao pet I know obviously the attorney's office as well Who would be the primary lead on that? That'd be me The pet would be the lead All right, thank you So if I can just comment on some of this and just bring every Everyone on council back to the process that we that we've agreed to and I've had conversations with the city manager So I may be channeling some of what his thoughts were So we went through the two-day goal setting process and the seven of us prioritized our tier one priorities Um and gave direction to staff and we wanted to identify some goals and one of the big reasons why um I thought it was real important. So a we understand these are our priorities You know with the understanding all of us who've been here at any time realize we can't do everything for everyone So we have to prioritize But it's so important about our meeting on april 22nd with staff because we can want all we want But if we don't have the staff capacity, it's not nothing's going to be accomplished And so that's what we did with our subcommittee giving feedback And under the city manager now prioritized the feedback that he got from the subcommittee And offered us these priorities with these timelines Anything that we do that's going to change that quite frankly. I think we we owe it to the staff and city manager If this is your timeline if we approve that any changes we want to make I don't think we can take it out of context because they looked at all these different Challenges all the things that we wanted that the community wanted and to rebalance it So I would just really encourage my colleagues if we start moving things around because None of us are staff There's a reason why these are in the orders that they are and I think director guin mentioned just the all-electric ready ordinance All the different steps that need to go by there Our subject matter experts about staff capacity are our staff as the city manager is joining us So I would just be very Offer caution Offer caution to start changing these dates Especially when we have a tier two priority and I get I I'm all for you know Now we have a date specific for a 15 hour minimum wage on july 16th If this council wanted it sooner than that we probably should have made it a tier one priority It didn't happen We didn't it's a tier two priority and the city manager. I think has heard us It is a priority for us. It's not a tier one priority In july 16th was the day to fit all these different pieces together Because there's also this council knows we're in the middle of a reorganization We've had some other staffing challenges with the city All these are moving parts in a very dynamic situation the phone call that the city manager just got off Of was from some of our partners in washington dc and sacramento And I'm just very hesitant to start giving different dates without having all the information Information that the city manager and staff had is they're trying to balance what our desires are with the staff capacity So Ms. Combs You had some comments I appreciate that caution But I did hear Four of us express concern about Moving a couple of items On the agenda list can someone explain the process a little bit So if there's a request tonight if there's a request tonight to move agenda I will need to go back with staff and understand the the corresponding consequences. That's why I started to open I'm going to need some a couple weeks to come back and say this is this is the change And this is the consequence of that change because again, it's the same departments doing the same work I'm not we're not trying to get in a way of that. But but again, it's a management issue It's not just creating another council meeting to meet a goal In fact, I'm going to be talking to the mayor directly about maybe stabbing some of our boards and and Other meetings because right now we're running from month to month on some of these Meeting items and we have we have little time to make progress that council wants to see The mayor is not incorrect. We have Transition we're in the midst of a budget process that is going to be leading with financial sustainability If we will take the input we'll bring back in a couple weeks the changes if council wants to have those changes But I have to have an opportunity to concretely show you what's moving back There may be consequences on things like the downtown specific plan I'm going to call it out. That's an incredibly aggressive timetable We the staff has to be able To give this body material to deliberate over it is our duty That's part of the charter driven mandate is that we provide you information so you can deliberate And that means we have to do research sometimes that means we have to hold meetings sometimes It may not be the the favorite process of anyone involved But we have to do that and so there are consequences. We did our best to try to Meet as many of these goals as possible But if there's going to be change tonight, we're going to need some time to go back and reorder and show you what that the impacts are Going to be We're willing to do that in a couple weeks But we also have budget coming up so I want to make clear that that's going to be a priority But we'll come back in a couple weeks and say if we move this around we move this up This is going to be the consequence But there's going to be some consequence even in that discussion because that's going to delay some of the forward momentum Happy to do it happy to take some direction on some items that you want to come forward, but there is going to be some Consequence to maneuvering those particular items. I I'm always uh appreciative of your happiness to work with us Um I did hear uh concern about four items From four of us And one of them was ensuring that the july 16th had a date certain And if possible moving it forward One of them was moving up the all-electric ready to the july 16 meeting I thought that's what I heard one of them was moving up the non-discrimination ordinance and My recollection was that one of them involved open government. Now, that's my list That's how i'm remembering them simply because open government isn't showing anywhere I don't want to put us into a cycle of coming back to talk about this calendar over and over again Um I Understand we have a motion and a second on the floor Uh, I am Trying to sort out what our process is Do and that was the root of my question If we vote for the motion and the second that is on the floor Do we lose the information that at least four of us have asked to move some items forward? As as much as possible or do we have to vote no on this one in order to get those items moved forward? The items that are outlined we can come back and as I said in two weeks We can say this is the con this is what where we could potentially move it forward And this is the consequence to the overall schedule By moving that forward and I I can commit to that. I can get the team to look at that That's absolutely doable that won't be lost in this translation But we do need to to get to some of these conversations because that is the challenge right is And again what i'm what i'm going to say is in two weeks There could be a lot of other pressures that manifest themselves that are complicating the calendar already We're going to come back and we're going to update the calendar Probably as an informational item unless council wants to get it in deeper discussion But but I can commit to taking the four items outlined here And we'll come back and say if we moved it forward This is what would move back in the calendar. There's no issue on that I would be delighted to have that conversation and to support the motion as it's made unless I hear something else from one of my colleagues Because I I want to move us forward without delay But I do support moving these items I I will also as an aside We're moving this forward. I understand one of the tier two items is child care I have sat on this council for a two-year period in which child care was in fact a tier one item and was never discussed So I just am throwing out there that yet again child care has no Place on this on this agenda I I My priorities are not there right this minute. I understand that But I don't want to go through another two-year period in which child care is not even discussed at this level So, um, that's just an aside put put it in your back pocket. Thank you, mr. Vice mayor Thank you, and quite frankly, that's why I asked who was going to lead on the $15 minimum wage Which department is because I can see Uh, a lot of ped on the tier list But in particular in the upcoming meeting So I do appreciate the amount of work that's going through planning and economic development That the david in particular is doing In his team, I think where there's a little bit of a disconnect and I think it'd be helpful for us Understanding how much work Having a study session On something that is a report that is already done that other cities have already done staff reports on I think that that's where some of the disconnect comes in is having the discussion without Having to derail everything else that we're doing I'm again just because another city has done a staff report on an item does not mean that your staff has looked at that item And reviewed it. So I would be reticent to say that that that we would be comfortable Always advancing a staff report from another city I understand that other cities have done some things other cities are not in full disaster recovery items as as well So I I I understand the urge, but I also say again We're here staff is here to provide you with material to deliberate on I can't comment on the work or the work product of another city without having staff Look at that work product and review and say what steps do they take to get here Understood and we've had the discussion about in our Budget shortfalls whether or not we need to move our potholes from 48 hour fill the 72 hour fill As a council member who understands the necessity for staff time. I'm willing to do some research on my own I've already read the report. I've read some of the staff reports. I don't need you to necessarily always Come out there and do our own thing It's perfectly acceptable for me to have the discussion where you say this is what other cities have said Feel free to poke holes in it. Feel free to do your own research That's I don't necessarily need us to go down that rabbit hole for the discussion But understanding staff's limited capacity means that my expectations on the information provided from staff is not I'm going to be a little bit more lenient And I understand but i'm not sure that I can guide everybody to one on one issue that everyone's going to be lenient on every issue So again, I think it's going to be depend on the issue and the council's member's perspective on that issue That's why we're here is to provide you with the information to deliberate I know that there are a lot of folks who feel like that they have the The solution and are passionate about that solution. We want to make sure that they get heard We try to propose a schedule that allowed that And allowed us to do some of the work that staff needed to do We'll take these four items back. We'll see what we can bring forward I would say even on for example an open government We don't we're looking at other cities to try to understand some of the desires in that particular item Because we have to price that we have to understand what other is done because there may be to your point council member There may be opportunities that we haven't thought of to meet that goal But that requires some research And understanding what other communities have done to meet that have they done it and what they've done to meet it so again I understand the desire and the urge But I i'm going to point back to the charter you employ us to provide you with the information so that you can Deliberate and part of the challenge is seven folks Wanting to deliberate and what each of you need in that information. So I understand the desire We we are trying to find pathways here To try to meet some of that need and not spend too much time on an issue But enough that you feel like you have information to deliberate on it miss wane Thank you, mayor I want to give a couple of quick comments about the process here I know that this may feel kafka-esque and frustrating at moments But here's what I think is working is that we had a robust goal setting Community meeting it was so robust that we could an all fit in the room together And that we did come back and we have these goals presented and the community comes out and they show us Their opinion and their support for different things and so while it might be frustrating time consuming You know, this is one of the side effects of democracy and action is that you know, we do Respond to our constituents and that we do take their needs into account and um, I know that that can be difficult And and frustrating but I don't think we we do it without Awareness that it puts a burden on you and your staff and we're very appreciative of that The other comment I want to make is about the tier system in that We we are limited to a certain number of You know, we limit ourselves to a certain number of tiers tier one priorities tend to be very visionary Things that are not going we're not going to solve climate change this year or homelessness this year I hope we do but we don't what we put on that is big aspirational goals And on tier two we put things that are really important and fairly straightforward. It doesn't mean that they're Not You know any less really important in some cases than than tier one goals I mean sometimes tier two goals like child care. That's a huge thing But funding the roseland library or a $15 minimum wage These are things that that we don't or i'll speak for myself that we I don't think are Have the gravitas or the bret to make it to a tier one priority So some of our pushing comes from the fact that something might be really important while not making it to that status Mr. Chibis Thanks, mayor Again, I want to just offer a solution and a path forward and let me preface this by saying Somebody up here said it earlier the fact that we have dates is is amazing and i'm not even going to Hold staff to all these dates because I know things happen. They get in the way, but I am so grateful that we have dates And in talking about Moving these issues a little bit more forward Again, I didn't hear feedback on chap. I don't know director guine How much staff time's already gone into looking at the other chap possibilities? But if that work product is still Hasn't taken up a lot of your time already I would be supportive of seeing for example section eight going into guine's shop dropping chap so now we've got Theory maybe uh some some time saved And then having the minimum wage come forward on on july 16th But david if you're going to be running point on that, you know, I I Disagree slightly and respectfully to vice mayor rogers I doubt i'm going to be able to walk into that room on july 16th and say hey, here's another city ordinance looks good Let's adopt it We're talking about a big decision that's going to have impacts to people's bottom lines bottom positive or negative And we need to have an input gathering Um endeavor and I think that the economic development subcommittee if we can get quorum would be a great Committee to take that on to hopefully alleviate some of your workload and do exactly what vice mayor rogers said Which is to be clear. It's not an ordinance. It's a study session on a report I I understand that but to your previous point. It's like this It's going to potentially lead to an ordinance That's the purpose of the study session and as the advocates have pointed out I mean we're coming the 2023 Is going to be phased in before we know it so if we're going to actually take the time to look at it Let's do it Let's get the economic development subcommittee on it sooner as opposed to later start talking to workers Looking at research and talking to business owners to understand what would work for this city So with that we have a motion and a second. Um, so i'll ask for your votes We already took public comment and that passes six eyes and one know the one know by miss phleming Thank you for the presentation Could we reset Your votes again And that passes unanimously. Thank you Okay, do we have uh going back to item 13? Okay, item 13 public comment first speaker holly hymn followed by Keith mccoy Good evening. I'm a santa rosa resident a nutritionist health educator and a mother I would like more protection for our children at school in parks and in residential areas from small cell 4g and 5g wireless In 2004 the international association of firefighters position on locating cell towers commercial wireless infrastructure on fire department facilities as adopted by its membership in 2004 Is that they oppose the use of fire stations as base stations for towers or antennas for the production of cell phone transmissions until a study with the highest scientific merit and integrity On health effects of exposure to low intensity rf mw radiation is conducted And it has proven that such sightings are not hazardous to the health of our members And california senate bill 649 that was initiated in 2017 With a section specifically about not having cell phone small cell towers at fire department facilities And although this senate bill was vetoed by governor brown at the time The international firefighters association is very powerful and obviously doesn't want small cell towers at their facilities The state clearly honors the sacrifice of california's firefighters And is concerned about the health risks they face from cell towers after all it granted them an exemption on this senate bill Even though it was vetoed and yet firefighters are the strongest of the strong And what does that imply for the rest of us and especially for our children who i'm very concerned about And just this month sprint shut off a 5g cell phone tower that was placed at a western elementary school in ripen california Which was near medesto Parents pressured the school to have it removed when four children and three teachers developed cancer And or leukemia since the tower was put up the ripen city council adopted a wireless service ordinance with preferences for placing new wireless equipment At least 500 feet away from school or homes I would like the same protection for our children in santa rosa while they are at school playing in parks and at home and residential neighborhoods And although I understand that we have A pause it's also my understanding that soon permanent applications will be coming in from cell phone Telecommunication companies and I definitely want to have things in place and be proactive about protecting our children In residential neighborhoods at parks And while they're at school. Thank you. Thank you Keith mccoy followed by dwayne do it. I think dwayne is gone So next would be uh riley misonborn after keith Is keith here Seeing no keith no dwayne Riley wisonborn Seeing no movement dina bernard Hello santa rosa city council Thank you for listening to my request last week to hear the response from the city attorney Regarding utilizing the recent 2019 california supreme court precedent with t mobile versus san francisco To support our city in establishing zoning ordinances that protect our residential neighborhoods from cell tower installations Sonoma petaluma and sabastable have been able to set those Zoning protections with that legal precedent So i'm thrilled that our city can now do what i know it intended to do with the pause enacted last year I heard city attorney sue gallagher respond last week that she is sending you a report regarding her assessment of this information However, I also thought I heard her say her understanding was that the supreme court decision referred to aesthetic conditions Fortunately the decision affirms the authority and policing powers of local governments per the california constitution to regulate utilities This important decision goes beyond aesthetics as a local regulatory issue The decision includes a discussion of what it means to in commode in public utilities code section 7901 In commode is a critical word regarding use and access of public rights of way And close proximity microwave radiation antenna installations in the public rights of way Previously the california public utilities code and utility companies has consistently claimed sole jurisdiction And denied that local governments had the authority to adopt or enforce ordinances This california supreme court decision recently disagreed with that premise These are excerpts from the california supreme court decision that support our jurisdiction in this matter The decision stated that we also disagree with plaintiff's contention that section 7901's In commode clause limits their right to construct telephone lines only if the installed lines and equipment would obstruct the path of travel Contrary to plaintiff's argument the in commode clause need not be read so narrowly As the court of appeal noted the word in commode means to give inconvenience to or distress to disturb Structing the path of travel is one way that telephone lines could disturb or give inconvenience to public road use But travel is not the sole use of public roads The other uses may be incommodated beyond the obstruction of travel For example lines or equipment might generate noise cause negative health consequences or create safety concerns All of these impacts could disturb public road use or disturb its quiet enjoyment Among the public utility codes express priorities regarding wireless facility construction Is that the public health safety welfare and zoning concerns of local government are addressed? I can't see baby Therefore the summary decision shares that It is eminently reasonable that a local government may regulate other longer-term impacts that might incommode public road use under section 7901 This is great news my honorable city council. I've included more details and citations with julie goosey free to review I look forward to hearing back from you regarding this exciting new development and our powers to protect our residential neighborhoods Thank you for your care concern and attention in this matter. Oh, I made it. Thank you Elizabeth elon followed by emery dan Hi there. Yeah, I um glad to see you. I um Talked to the people at the san rafael transit mall about the hours that their bathrooms are open And it's five to five a.m. To 10 30 p.m. Every day of the week So they got you guys beat by a long shot down there I was sitting in courthouse square and a man came up with a scarf over his face and he said they sprayed here this morning a few hours ago and Apparently they they are spraying pesticides to keep little plants from growing through cracks and I just think that's Outrageous, you know spreading petas pesticides around. Where do you think they go? When they're done doing their killing Yeah, and then I was in franklin park and I found this public notice public notice pesticide application May 2nd and 3rd 7 30 a.m. To 3 p.m location shrubbeds tree wells Yeah past can past being controlled weeds And and the product used suppress easy organic and Please stay out of treated areas until dry or 3 30 p.m. This was on the ground wherever they posted it I just happened to find it on the ground I have a friend who was harassed by a police officer in a certain strange way And the officer's name. I usually don't know their names, but in this particular case my friend knew the name as officer t robert My friend was playing with his 13 year old service dog. He's playing frisbee in courthouse square and I'm not sure if he got two citations or just one for having his service dog off the leash But the really disturbing thing is that the officer said to him This square is for businesses and events. It's not for people to play in Now that is one absurd idea. And I think it needs to be weeded out That anyway I don't think I brought my Funny song up here with me. So let's see I have 30 29 seconds left I agree with the woman about the cell towers. I personally am allergic to my cell phone. I've had one Since my first grandson my only grandson was born 15 years ago And I I personally Don't like Putting it to my head that it can cause all kinds of symptoms in my jaw and my brain But even like texting or holding it my fingertips getting um, so thank you. Thank you. Liz with emory dan Hello, I want to thank the council for For this public forum I don't want so small cell towers in my residential area. I've lived in the junior college area for over 30 years I work for this city of santa rosa for 34 uh but I my On our block We have one One telephone pole and it's 25 feet away from our bedroom and to have that going with the 5g or 4g or the Energy that will be Radiation Is really beyond what What we can tolerate health-wise and otherwise We're not against technology But unsafe and unset untested technology Is what I believe is toxic to our health It's similar to the asbestos crisis that was in the 1900s For example, there were a wide range of symptoms that people had now not everybody has the same symptoms from You know the this the radiation that comes from small Towers that are that will be spread throughout the residential area but The doctors didn't know what was wrong with people and All they could do was tell them to go home and rest To go home and rest and They kept getting worse and worse symptoms and Even life-threatening diseases. So This is similar this electric magnetic radiation is similar And what it's doing it doesn't just Kill us all all at once, but what happens is it affects the cells because The cells in our body are have electric current that actually Make Calcium and other ingredients and other vitamins and other things go into the cell And what happens is that this disrupts the gate that allows calcium and other Ingredients to go into the cell so It's not a an immediate Disaster let's say but long term it will affect every one of us As we experience more of these cell towers going into neighborhoods. So I hope that you can Um protect the unborn The children the elderly myself included and all citizens to Thank you. Thank you. Mr. McGlynn item 15.1 Uh item 15.1 Public hearing public hearing authorizing submittal of the fiscal year 2019-20 action plan An approval of grant agreements for the public services fair housing and housing opportunities for persons with AIDS hapwa Nancy manchester program specialist presenting So good evening mayor schwedhelm members of the council The item before you today is required by HUD in order to receive our federal allocations of CDB home and hapwa funds And we are asking you to conduct a public hearing to on the annual federal action plan To authorize submittal of the plan no later than may 15th to HUD and to approve the funding recommendations brought before you So by way of background HUD requires the annual plan to define how federal funds will be spent And to identify the housing and community development needs priorities and goals and strategies It's written using a template that's provided by HUD and it's based on the most recent 2016 to 2020 amended consolidated plan As an aside the next consolidated plan period it runs from 2020 to 2024 It's a five-year roadmap for how we plan to spend funds over those five years We will be starting that process About june 1st for the next one And it generally comes to council the following may public input for solicitation and consultation begins in january or february of 2020 So the action plan goals first priority are to increase the supply of affordable rental housing for low-income households provide housing assistance and support for low-income households with hiv or aides To preserve the existing affordable housing stock and to provide housing and services to special needs populations The second tier goals, which would be implemented if there were increases to the federal funding Would include increasing access to home ownership providing funding for public facilities and improvements and promotion of economic development So here's a chart that shows you the amount of federal funds that we've been allocated for 2019 2020 It totals just under 26 2.6 million dollars And um, you'll see that it notes program income, which is Generally provided by repayment of loans into that were made by The housing authority The allocations are based on santa rosa's demographics Outreach has been conducted starting in january. We went to two community community advisory board meetings We held a community meeting on february 6th We sent out notifications and solicitations for comments to the continuum of care listserv, which has 250 organizations and individuals that subscribe to it There have been social and traditional media announcements that solicited solicited comments on the plan and Publicized the public hearing for tonight as well as encouraging additional comments up and up until tonight Uh The plan was available for comment starting march 15th through april 15th online and at three physical locations But we've also encouraged ongoing comment up to and including tonight's public hearing through news flash items on the housing and community services webpage and the city's main webpage And also there was a write-up in the new city connections newsletter for may We did receive an increase in comments this year over prior years Public comments that we've received to date have been included in the draft plan And any comments that we received tonight will be included in the plan prior to us submitting it to HUD So the annual funding that we're asking you to approve tonight. Uh, first off is cdbg Up to 15 of our cdbg allocation Can be used for public services The remainder of the funds are used for affordable housing purposes The reminder of the cdbg allocation and some admin time as well So the public services funding Was made or the recommendation is being made Using council's direction to provide focused comprehensive homeless services through coordinated operation coordinated entry operation of facilities And the recommendation is for to fund proposals that most closely meet that direction So we are recommending $96,460 for family support center $102,520 for the homeless services center both operated by catholic charities The hs hsc or homeless services center funding helps support intake for the city-owned samuel jones hall Fair housing is a federally mandated program The criteria for award is responsiveness to the 2012 sonoma county analysis of impediments to fair housing Also called the ai We're recommending that fair housing of northern california received funding for $36,000 from the general fund and the The ai update process has begun that happens in conjunction with the consolidated plan 2020 to 2024 And we have already begun collaborating with the cdc the county The home sonoma county and petaluma The cdc and petaluma are the other two federal entitlement jurisdictions in our area Hopua funding. We're receiving a federal grant of $437,814 recommending funding face-to-face who's provided this program to us for since we've had the program And they amount of $424,680 The balance of the funds is used by the city for administration And just just as a note the city received the HUD allocation for hop up for the first time in 2016 And we provide services or we use that funding to provide services throughout the county To low-income families with hiv or aids So just a review of the annual annual result I'm sorry the annual results of our federal funds the most recent annual report is For 2017 2018 it's called a caper consolidated annual performance evaluation report that showed That we served $1,519 homeless individuals during that year with the public services funding That would be both fsc and hsc And For the hopua caper we provided 74 households with housing subsidy assistance 350 households with supportive services And 203 households with housing information The caper for 1819 will Start getting put together as soon as the fiscal year is over So those results will go on the city's website and then we'll do also a public outreach process to solicit comments on that Generally that happens in early september And fair housing Mission is to reduce discriminatory housing activities through complaint intake training testing counseling renter seminars and higher visibility of the program And you'll see that the population served By the program is 67 of those families are very low income So that includes extremely low income and very low income Testing has revealed some differential treatment in santa rosa based on race and disability status There's ongoing monitoring of these properties and education of landlords as well And finally the recommendation it is recommended by the housing and community services department that the council by resolution Authorize submittal of the fiscal year 2019 2020 action plan to the u.s. Department of housing and urban development Approved the fiscal year 2019 2020 grant agreements for public services fair housing and hopua funds In the estimated total amount of 659,660 dollars Authorize the director of housing and community services to execute the grant agreements with the service providers And authorize the city manager to execute the annual federal funding agreements with HUD and any additional forms Or documents required by HUD to implement the fiscal year 2019 2020 action plan And i'd be happy to answer any questions Thank you. Nancy council questions Ms. Gomes Thank you. Um, thank you for this report. Appreciate it. Um Can we get a copy of the I didn't see it it maybe it's in here and I missed it um fair housing testing results Can we get that information? Yes, we could provide that to you. Thank you. I would very much like to have that Does this funding in any way coordinate or duplicate funding from the new entity that is home sonoma The leadership body how is this related to the funding there? Not related at all. Well, there there is some coordination between the two entities home sonoma county is the The current name for the continuum of care And some of the funds Go to support For example the intake for samuel jones hall I guess i'm just i'm sure i'm on that leadership body and i'm trying to figure out if these funds are already Determined there or are we determining them here or will they at some point go? But what's what's up with this? Yeah, so the three what hud refers to as entitlement jurisdictions Santa Rosa city of petaluma county sonoma all have to run their Consolidated plan business However to your point We plan to sit down with the staffs of those two other entities in this coming fiscal year To see how the work of home sonoma county Especially the technical advisory committees and then bringing those to the homeless home leadership council Could help inform the council on the programming Thank you. That's the answer i was hoping to hear so i appreciate that i have this item Let me know when you want it to go So any other questions because i have a couple so on that same light they Is that a hud mandate that this body make these decisions or could this body say we're okay with These decisions be made by the leadership council Whose decision is that i would have to research the hud regs Right now that these resources come straight to the city of santa rosa as you know So we would have to get back to you on an answer if that hud would allow you to to transfer your decision making authority to another legislative entity So that would be because i think the county the city of petaluma in the city of santa rosa regionalized this effort I would like to know the answer to that to see if we do have a A say in that matter It seems that Your two primary options would be does that body inform your decision or do you transfer your decision to that body? Exactly because i think that will be a topic of discussion with leadership council What would we mean by regionalization? A couple other questions i had Some of the metrics that i saw here for like example on exhibit a the scope of services Did we create that document? And again i'm thinking knowing what we just approved with our metrics and be a little bit more specific for instance On the scope of services for the hopua funding Planned indicators towards a successful program outcome will include low rate of movement from permanent housing into homelessness How do we know if we're doing that what's what's a low rate of movement? And i guess my question would be i know we have the 2016 to 2020 consolidated plan At what point do we try to identify some specific metrics because i didn't read in i don't think any of the reports Are we ending homelessness with any of these funds? Kind of what we heard again with our different tiers We're looking for our investments paying off in ending homelessness And i didn't see that in any of these documents I have silvia a la hundra here and she is from face to face our hopua service providers So she can answer the specific question around hopua So the specific question would be on the scope of service who creates the scope of service for these hopua funds so It comes down to basically from hud on what we can spend monies on for our clients And we work with the city and the county identifying homeless clients and working with them For shelter plus care vouchers when those become available so through coordinated intake we're all counting on And tracking what's happening to the homeless clients that we Are directing to that and we can then track How many have gotten A voucher how many have gotten shelter and continue through our tracking of them and we continue doing Care services for our clients So we are able to know What and how long they stay on a voucher program Does that answer your question? Not really what i'm looking for specific numbers So again, if you um one of the other bullet points for the indicators success movement from homelessness into housing Of of people living with hiv aids. How many are we hoping to experience that bullet point? Is there a goal for This funding I don't know if we have an annual goal We have a number we could Look at how many clients we start with that are homeless and at the end of the year be able to Tell you how many of those clients that are homeless have either received housing or a housing and a voucher So we would be able to do that. I wouldn't be able to right now Right and i'm not asking so it may be more for staff So if we wanted to have just like the last exercise that we do with tiers About this is the number we're going for we need all everyone in our organization focused on any homelessness with this funding for filling the blank How would we get some of those actual numbers put in there versus generic low rate of movement, you know Yeah, we we take The the scope of work for example is a collaboration between the service provider's proposal of what they think is achievable and then Reviewed by staff and then there's a collaboration that goes on to determine what is achievable during the process of a year And we receive quarterly reports That show us what kind of progress is being made So I guess my request would be having those numbers in the scope of work. This is the goal that we're going for not just More generic We're moving the right direction because again with limited dollars I'm a big proponent. We should be investing our dollars where it's most effective on ending homelessness And I guess this scope of service doesn't appear so that's the laser focus that I think we need to do with limited resources We can certainly develop that in this year's scope of services Okay, and then on the same light on each of the exhibits for all the funded agencies It talks about oversight into the hMIS system what I've heard through the system on leadership council One of the challenges is the data input into that What role do city of santa rosa employees as the oversight do to manage or to Verify that the people in inputting the data into hMis are doing it in an efficient and effective manner We get the quarterly reports, but we don't oversee how the data is being inputted as part of any monitoring Because with the scope of service I think that's one of the responsibilities of this funding make sure they're participating hMis Again, one of the complaints I've heard it's my understanding. There's over 300 folks I don't know if it's hMis or coordinated entry or doing the data entry And to me that's a key point that the data that we're asking that we did again with our tiers If the data input is not as effective and as efficient as we'd hope The outcomes that we're all looking for we're not going to be able to measure that So I guess I'm just interested because I thought I read it in each of the scope of services That's one of our roles is the oversight of that hMis is anyone checking to see how they are entering it And is it being entered in the most efficient and effective way understood And then the last thing I had on One of the exhibits From it was the catholic charities one where there was a figure of 37 percent of families will exit to permanent housing which exceeds 36 county wide averages When we're using figures such as how do we come up with 37 percent of families is it one more percentage than what we have with the county average This is an exhibit a family support center I would have to look into that and get back to you If it just seemed like that stood out because the other ones are general percentages But this just happens to be one more percent than what the county average is and it's like Are we pushing ourselves hard enough? It just seems kind of that just stood out for me a little bit Okay, those are the only questions I have anyone else have questions Please I would follow up with um, we have had conversations in the past that we look at the Reporting back to us piece of contracts with a number of service providers And it's not clear to me now Whether that responsibility will go to the home sonoma or whether it will come here But I do have some concerns to make sure that in our contracts. We're clear about wanting data report outs Either here or there that we can bring to here How do we make sure that as we move this forward we do that? So I think that that's one of the tier one priorities was to actually Examine this whole contracting process and make sure there was consistency applied and the goal for that is the completion of the following fiscal year So I think that is built into the tier one priorities In this conversation that's on our calendar for the homeless stuff that's coming Over the next year. Thank you Okay, have one card on the side. I'm george uberti This is a public hearing so if you open the public yeah, you eat my time. No Thank you. Madam city attorney. I'll open up this public hearing. Go ahead george Three minutes. There we go. All right. So this is going to hunt. I've spoken on these things before but let's make sure we hit all the marks The city of santa rosa public housing authority They have a budget in 2016 of 144 million dollars. That budget is not audited it express lisa so on that budget Right. It's in violation of federal contract law now in addition to that 99 of that 144 million dollars is caught up in loans You all referenced it when you referred to program income, right that program income is a very very small fraction Of the amount of uh money that is actually loaned out So the the money which we don't need to make money off the money that we have that money is for administering services It's not for lending out to people for a small percentage of which one or two percent of the actual Money that we get to provide services through housing and urban development to house and develop this city Which instead we lend it out to people who are already rich Builders and then take this fraction of interest and then use that for program services That is 100 not how that money is supposed to be spent and all of you know it Um in addition to that Catholic charities, uh, they're awarded federal funds in excess of 500 000 dollars Right. They're a chief financial officer. Maryland steward not a certified public accountant Um in direct violation of federal contract law Right. Uh in uh in addition to that um when I went to go get their independently audited financial statements Which they are required to produce on an annual basis. I was personally told by their cfo who is not a cpa That they would not match their form 990s, which means that either they are lying to the irs or they are lying to the their independent auditor, but The same documents they're meant to account for the same financial information So two different accounts of the same financial information mean that There's a lie being told Let's see in addition to that the hopua funding. I noticed the drafts you looked at I was happy because they were the direct inverse of the information that I came up and presented here Which is on february 22nd of 2018 which shows you all spending 3.61 percent Of your hopua funding on actual housing services with the rest of it going to administration Right and uh in direct violation of the caps Specifically of 10 and 15 that were put on those amounts Right, uh something very similar is done with the caper the consolidated annual performance and evaluation report In which instead of spending this money on what it was meant to be spent for You basically put three categories. You lump them together. So we'll have uh, you know Money spent for actually housing zero right money spent for You know one or two of the other marks that you're supposed to hit zero Money spent for this 3 000 times what we were supposed to spend it for if you average those all together Oh, look, we're doing great, but you're not doing great You're deliberately manipulating these figures so that you can not spend this money on what it was meant to be spent for And that's a crime And it has to stop Thank you. This is a public caring. You don't have to fill our card with anyone else like to address the council on this item Seeing no one rise we'll close the public caring councilmember combs, you have this item Resolution of the council of the city of santa rosa authorizing submittal of the fiscal year 2019-2020 action plan to the us department of housing and urban development HUD And approving grant agreements for public services fair housing and housing opportunities for persons with aides also known as habua And way further reading of the text We have a motion to second your votes, please And that passes unanimously.
