BACKGROUND: Over the past several years CityBus has a reduction in federal and state funding and an ongoing loss in ridership. In response, the Transit Division initiated the Reimagining CityBus process in 2015 to design a restructured system aimed at enhancing our strongest ridership corridors and attracting both new riders and lost riders. Reimagining CityBus involved extensive analysis of CityBus system performance, demographic and land use trends, and trip patterns within Santa Rosa. After a year and a half of analysis, extensive public outreach and a significant amount of input, the new CityBus system is ready to be introduced to the public. This is the first major restructuring of Santa Rosa CityBus in nearly 25 years and is essential to the continuation of CityBus’ overall health. To continue this introduction CityBus will need to ensure its financial stability over the next year to both launch and monitor the new bus system in addition to making strategic system adjustments as necessary to produce res | to waive reading of the text and adopt | Pass |

| 1 | 14.2 | Prohibition of Outdoor Cultivation of Cannabis | CC- Report | REPORT - URGENCY ORDINANCE TO IMPOSE TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE OUTDOOR CULTIVATION OF CANNABIS FOR EITHER PERSONAL OR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES
BACKGROUND: In an urban setting, the outdoor cultivation of cannabis can create adverse impacts on surrounding neighbors, including odor, security risks and environmental hazards. State law allows local jurisdictions, at their discretion, to regulate, or prohibit entirely, the outdoor cultivation of cannabis, whether for personal use and/or commercial purposes.
Over the past year, the Council’s Medical Cannabis Policy Subcommittee has been working with staff and with cannabis industry stakeholders to develop comprehensive policies to regulate medical cannabis businesses within the City limits. The Subcommittee has recognized the potential adverse impacts of outdoor cannabis cultivation and has recommended that the draft policy include a ban on all outdoor growing of cannabis. The draft policy is expected to be released for public review next month.
In the interim, state law and the City Code currently permit outdoor cannabis cultivat | continue | |

BACKGROUND: The Santa Rosa Plain groundwater sub-basin covers an area of approximately 80,000 acres and the majority of the City of Santa Rosa overlies this sub-basin. The 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) provides a framework for sustainable management of groundwater supplies by local agencies and requires local agencies with land use, water supply or water management authorities to form one or more Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA) by mid-2017. In Sonoma County three groundwater basins, the Santa Rosa Plain, Petaluma Valley, and Sonoma Valley basins, are required to comply with SGMA.
In the Santa Rosa Plain sub-basin, staff of Santa Rosa Water along with staff from the other GSA-eligible entities within the sub-basin have been meeting since 2015 to discuss the development of a GSA for the sub-basin through a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement.
