Friends:    There is no Study Session before the 4PM meeting.

6. Proclamations and Presentations

6.1 Black History Month.  In this proclamation, credit is given to the late Rev Coffee, Ms. Shirley Gordon and the Community Baptist Church's sponsorship of the Bridge to the Future - Rites of Passage Program in which adult mentors have since 2000 have mentored teens aged 14-18 in skills for effectiveness as adults.

Report

14.3 Community Feedback to the Community Advisory Board (CAB) on Capital Improvements Program (CIP) projects.

      In the 2003 ordinance creating the CAB, which came out of the 2002 City Charter Review Process, one of CAB's responsibilities is to bring the public into the planning and budgeting process. CAB held a series of public meetings recently about the list of projects on the CIP - usually big-money public infrastructure projects partially paid for by development   The public who attended produced a set of priorities.   Below find first, the link to the CAB actions and second, a list of the CIP projects spending from October through December of last year.

14.4 Discussion of a $20,000 GAP Funding Request from Legal Aid of Sonoma County.  The needs are great for tenant protections and representation.  This was proposed for discussion  by Council Member Rogers and approved for discussion on 1/24/17. If Council agrees, there is a resolution ready for their approval to do this.
