MOTION - APPROVAL OF VICE MAYOR MARK STAPP’S

ABSENCES FROM REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS

BACKGROUND: Vice Mayor Mark Stapp has submitted a notice

that he will be absent from the City from September 6, 2024

through September 14, 2024, and will not attend the September

10, 2024 regular City Council meeting. Rule I.F. of the City

Council Procedures and Protocols provides that “[i]f a

Councilmember is absent without Council permission from all

regular City Council meetings for thirty (30) days consecutively

from the last regular meeting he/she attends, his/her office

becomes vacant and shall be filled as any other vacancy.”

As Vice Mayor Stapp plans to attend the August 20, 2024 regular

Council meeting and not attend a regular Council meeting again

until September 24, 2024, as the September 17, 2024 regular

Council meeting was cancelled, he will have been absent from all

regular Council meetings for more than thirty consecutive days

within the meaning of Rule I.F. The City Attorney recommends

excusing Vice Mayor Stapp’s absences from regular Council

meetings through the end of September out of an abundance of

caution should he be unable to attend the September 24, 2024

regular Council meeting as currently planned.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Attorney

that the Council, by motion, approve Vice Mayor Stapp’s

absences from regular City Council meetings from August 21,

2024, through the end of September 2024.

15.1

REPORT - APPROVAL OF HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION PILOT

PROGRAM - KEEP PEOPLE HOUSED (KPH) - SONOMA FOR FY

2024/2025 and FY 2025/2026

BACKGROUND: All Home, a Bay Area nonprofit organization, has

offered to expand its homelessness prevention model into Sonoma

County and provide technical assistance and a financial match to

support the proposed pilot program, Keep People Housed (KPH) -

Sonoma. The City of Santa Rosa (City), County of Sonoma (County),

and the City of Petaluma (Petaluma) are the three (3) local agencies

participating in the program and providing the local funds. This item

seeks Council approval of a Funding Agreement and Grant Agreement

for $1.3 million in local funds for the two-year pilot program, which will

be matched with $2.6 million from All Home, for a program total of $3.9

million. The Committee on the Shelterless (COTS) was selected to

serve as the Lead Provider of KPH - Sonoma following a competitive

Request for Proposals (RFP) released by the City on May 29, 2024.

The $1.3 million in local funds will be awarded to COTS per the Grant

Agreement. All Home will enter into a separate agreement with COTS

for the administration of its $2.6 million. This item also seeks Council’s

endorsement of All Home’s Regional Action Plan 2024.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and

Community Services Department that the Council, by resolution: 1)

approve and authorize the Director of Housing and Community Services

to negotiate and execute, subject to approval as to form by the City

Attorney a) an Agreement between the City of Santa Rosa, the County

of Sonoma, and the City of Petaluma for the Funding of a

Homelessness Prevention Pilot Program (Keep People Housed (KPH) -

Sonoma) for Fiscal Years 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 (Funding

Agreement) in the amount of $1.3 million, and b) a Grant Agreement for

Keep People Housed (KPH) - Sonoma with the Committee on the

Shelterless (Grant Agreement) in the amount of $1.3 million for the

period October 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026; and 2) endorse All Home’s

REPORT - OPPOSITION TO SONOMA COUNTY MEASURE J

BACKGROUND: A county-wide initiative entitled “Prohibition on

Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations” was placed on the

November 5, 2024 general election ballot via the initiative process. The

ballot initiative is also known as Measure J. The proposed ordinance

before the electorate would require a simple majority to enact Measure

J into law. The measure if enacted would phase out the operation of

certain existing Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) and

prohibit any future CAFO from being approved. The measure would

apply to the unincorporated areas of Sonoma County outside of the

coastal zone.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Communications and

Intergovernmental Relations Office that the Council, by motion, oppose

Measure J on the Sonoma County ballot for the November 5, 2024

general election. If the Council adopts a formal position on Measure J,

staff will send an advocacy letter to the proponents and opponents of

the measure expressing the Council’s official position on the measure.

16.1

PUBLIC HEARING - PLACEMENT OF ANNUAL STORM WATER

ENTERPRISE CHARGES ON THE SONOMA COUNTY PROPERTY

TAX ROLL - MANNER OF COLLECTION

BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa is required under the federal

Clean Water Act to obtain and comply with a National Pollutant

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and Waste Discharge

Requirements for Discharges from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer

Systems (Storm Water Permit). To comply with permit requirements and

to control and reduce flooding, property damage, erosion, and storm

water quality degradation in the City, the Council, in 1996, added Title

16 to the City Code, which created a Storm Water Enterprise and Utility

(“Storm Water Enterprise”) as an agency of the City. Under Title 16, the

City Council is authorized to prescribe and collect charges (special

assessments) for the services and facilities of the Storm Water

Enterprise. The Council’s intention to collect the Storm Water

Enterprise charges on the Sonoma County Property Tax Roll was

stated in Resolution 22880, adopted in 1996, which levied the annual

charges. The amount of the annual charges of the Storm Water

Enterprise for fiscal year 2024-25 were adopted by the Santa Rosa City

Council on June 18, 2024. This action only considers the manner in

which the annual charges will be collected and not the amount of the

fee.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by Santa Rosa Water and the

Board of Public Utilities that the Council, by resolution, adopt by 2/3

vote the Storm Water Enterprise Charge Report and approve placement

of the Storm Water Enterprise charges on the Sonoma County Property

Tax Roll to be collected by the Sonoma County

Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector at the same time and in the

same manner as Sonoma County property taxes are collected, unless

those charges do not meet the County minimum of $10 and/or parcel

owner contact information is known to be incorrect.
