This staff briefing will explain green pavement markings to be considered at busy intersections with high bicycle and automobile volumes. At the present time there are no such installations around the city.

In meeting the Open Government Task Force’s goal of delivering services in the most open and transparent manner possible, the City of Santa Rosa has agreed to join the White House Police Data Initiative.
Launched in May of 2015 by President Obama, the White House Police Data Initiative is centered on two key components: (1) using open data to build transparency and increase community trust, and (2) using data to enhance internal accountability through effective analysis. Initially launched with 21 participating agencies, the White House Police Data Initiative has expanded to over 34 agencies, all agreeing to publish at least three (3) police-community datasets and participate in a community of practice, including bi-weekly calls.
Currently the City is publishing more than 50 datasets on the City’s Open Data Portal (data.srcity.org) in the areas of City Government, Recreation and Parks, Housing and Community, City Finances, Permitting and Development, Fire Services and Police Services. Ultimately, because of this pro | | |

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to authorize the Water Department to apply for the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District’s Matching Grant Program to fund a portion of the Lower Colgan Creek Restoration - Phase 2. The grant application, if successful, would secure the remaining funds ($532,390) needed to construct the project. The Lower Colgan Creek Restoration Project is a three-phased project stretching along 1.4 miles of the creek in southwest Santa Rosa. The three phases will restore the creek from a trapezoidal flood control channel to a healthier seasonal creek that includes riffles, pools, instream habitat structures, and native plantings. It will also include a bicycle and pedestrian pathway and increase the flood capacity of the channel to carry the 100 year flood.

The private property at 1370 Burbank Avenue is located in the center of the Roseland Creek Community Park.

BACKGROUND: Council approved design guidelines and authorized design to proceed on the Courthouse Square Reunification Project on November 3, 2015. Since that meeting, the design team along with City staff and the Chamber of Commerce embarked on a public outreach process that culminated in the Master Plan for the Reunification of Courthouse Square, which was approved by Council on January 26, 2016. Simultaneously, the design consultant has been preparing construction drawings for the street, utility and offsite improvements, and then finalized design of the interior improvements once the master plan was approved. As detail level design proceeded on the interior of the square, it became apparent that revisions to the master plan were needed to address some of the design refinements. Once the construction drawings were completed, bids were solicited from contractors.
