Much thanks to Anne Seeley, of Concerned Citizens For Santa Rosa, for her analysis of this week's City Council Agenda.
Friends:
After last week's meeting (ending at 11:15PM) when the Council hashed out their planned actions regarding homelessness, the urgency of a Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance and considered which tax measures it will place on the November ballot, this will be a relatively straightforward meeting.
There is no Study Session.
4PM Meeting
Consent
11.2 City of Santa Rosa and Oakmont Village Association Agreement to provide a deviated fixed route bus service. This is a continuation of that contract.
Oakmont Village Bus Service
11.4 Ordinance Adoption - Requiring Just Cause Evictions in the City of Santa Rosa. There was an attempt last week to pass this as an Urgency Ordinance, which failed, so it returns as a regular ordinance This is a Bandaid for the renting public`to prevent them from being evicted unjustly while the City staff prepare the Rent Stabilization Ordinance for the Council. (Around me in Council Chambers last Tuesday, I heard 'suits' saying, "They wouldn't have this problem if they hadn't announced their Rent Stabilization plans.") The standard, and understandable reasons for eviction will remain - failure to pay rent, violation of apartment safety rules, etc.

13.2 Labor Agreement with unions for Firefighters, some Police, Bus Operators and City Attorneys
A 2.5% Salary Increase across the board. Cost of the contract: $1,757,798, of which $1,118, 584 is a General Fund cost. Where does the rest come from?

13.3 Labor Contract for Santa Rosa's Unit 10 - Executive Management. Again, a 2.5% salary increase.
13.4 Labor contract for Santa Rosa's Unit 11-Middle Management. Cost: $93,780, of which $79, 411 is a General Fund cost.
13.5 Amendment to Anti-harassment, Anti-Descrimination and Anti-Retaliation Council Policy. This adds classes of 'protected persons' - City Volunteers and Unpaid City Interns. It also changes the reporting procedure if a Council member is involved. The complaint would now go to the City Manager.
13.6 Emergency Declaration Concerning Homelessness. Last week the Council asked staff to prepare all 3 types of declarations. Each has its benefits and restrictions. The hope, according to Council member Tom Schwedhelm, is to reduce the number and rate to "functional zero."
