S.R. Council Agenda, March 26th

Greetings!

Here is the Santa Rosa City Council agenda for March 6th, thanks to our friend, Anne Seeley, of Concerned Citizens For Santa Rosa.

Friends:

  There is a Study Session at 2PM:  CASA Compact and Related Legislative Update.

CASA is a panel of Bay Area Leaders across various sectors to address the area's housing affordability crisis.    They've produced a proposed plan involving many of the concepts you've heard of and some newer ones.    Come and listen, and comment if you'd like to.

    I plan to comment on, among other things, tightening up some of the language that is 'squishy' ; that is, it leaves too much room for interpretation and possible abuse.

  

4PM Regular meeting

10.2.1 Request for an agenda item to establish a community wildfire protection plan by     April,  2020.  Request was from Council member  Combs, seconded by Vice Mayor Chris Rogers.

10.3.1 Sonoma County Mayors and Council Members Association/ City Selection Committee.

The Council will provide direction to the Mayor on recommended appointees to 1) the Airport Land Commission; 2) the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO); the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). 

10.3.2  The Council will provide direction to the Mayor on appointees to ABAG, the Association of Bay Area Governments.  Applicants are Santa Rosa Council member Julie Combs and Susan Adams of Rohnert Park.  Also to be considered are applicants to represent Sonoma County on the League of California Cities.

Report

  14.1 Yet another appeal of the Cannabis Policy Committee's selection of one dispensary business over another, this one on Piner Road.

  14.2 Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA) 2019/2020 Water Transmission Budget and Rate Increases.  Ninety percent of the water provided to Santa Rosa users comes from the SCWA.  The SCWA proposes to increase water rates by 4.6%, which would result in an  increase to the average customer of 1.9%.

    The Board of Public Utilities and Santa Rosa Water Department recommend approval.  The decision ultimately will be made by the SCWA Board of Directors, who are the County Supervisors.  They are advised by the county Water Advisory Committee (WAC).

See you there!
