18-0545 13.1Unmanned Aerial System ProgramCC- Study SessionSTUDY SESSION SANTA ROSA POLICE DEPARTMENT UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEM PROGRAM The purpose of this study session is to provide an update on the unmanned aerial system (UAS) program; what we have done, where we are now, and where we plan to go with this technology. The use of small unmanned aerial systems, also unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones, has been growing rapidly in the last two years. These devices have proven their value in commercial industry, hobby use, and for governmental purposes many times. They have been especially helpful in the realm of public safety and emergency response. The department began studying how law enforcement agencies could earn or maintain their communities’ trust in implementing UAS programs designed to assist in a wide variety of law enforcement and public safety applications. Over the last two years, the exploration of UAS use has matured into the beginning stages of an operational program for the Santa Rosa Police Department.received and filed  Action details Video Video

18-0551 114.3Revenue Ballot Measures Nov 2018CC- ReportREPORT - CITY OF SANTA ROSA REVENUE BALLOT MEASURES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND GENERAL CITY SERVICES BACKGROUND: Additional financial resources are needed to enable the City to meet several unmet needs. Options for generating these additional financial resources include increasing the City sales tax by a quarter-cent; increasing Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) from 9% up to 12%; and, an Affordable Housing General Obligation Bond. All of these options would require voter approval. Sales tax and TOT increases designated for general City purposes would require a majority (50% plus one vote).
