14. REPORT ITEMS

14.1

REPORT - INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO THE SANTA

ROSA CITY CODE ADDING CHAPTER 10-26 SIDESHOWS

BACKGROUND: Over the last few years, Santa Rosa has experienced

an increase in reckless driving exhibitions on City streets. These

contests, known as “sideshows” (involving activities such as drifting,

burnouts, and donuts) are held throughout the city, several times per

month, usually in the late night or early morning hours. Hundreds of

illegal street racers and spectators converge on various public streets

and off-street parking lots in both commercial and residential

neighborhoods. These juveniles and adult participants block the streets

with their cars, set up exhibition areas for reckless driving and

spectators will act as human guard rails. When patrol cars descend on

an illegal sideshow site, spectators jump back into their cars and

caravan to other locations, where a new sideshow is started until the

police locate and move them along. The sideshow participants,

traveling at high speeds from location to location, cause traffic

congestion and dangerous conditions for other drivers. The high

speeds and reckless driving that characterize sideshows endanger

participants, members of the public, and police officers.

In recent months, sideshows have become significantly worse and

present much like riotous behavior. With organized sideshows growing

to hundreds of cars and becoming more violent, it frequently requires

massive police responses that have pulled in officers from all over the

city and county. These events have caused an increase in overtime for

upstaffing police officers in anticipation of a sideshow event. They

have been increasingly violent toward the responding officers as

bottles, rocks and other dangerous items are thrown at them and their

patrol cars. Fire trucks and ambulances have also been surrounded

and damaged when trying to administer medical aid to persons involved

in or around the sideshow events.

Sideshows effect all areas of Santa Rosa. Some of the primary

locations for sideshow activities have included:

•

Sebastopol Road and West Avenue

Hoen, Yulupa and Summerfield Avenues

Corporate Center Parkway near Sebastopol Road

Wilson and 7th Street

Dutton Avenue at W. 9th Street

Hwy 12 and Fulton Road

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Police Department that

the Council introduce an ordinance to the Santa Rosa City Code adding

Chapter 10-26 Sideshows for citing Participants, Spectators and

Organizers of Sideshow events in Santa Rosa.

REPORT - SONOMA COUNTY TOURISM BUSINESS

IMPROVEMENT AREA ASSESSMENT MODIFICATION REMOVING

THE $350,000 REVENUE THRESHOLD FOR COLLECTION

BACKGROUND: To increase assessment revenue generated by the

Sonoma County Tourism Business Improvement Area (SCTBIA), as

established by Sonoma County Ordinance No. 5525, the Sonoma

County Tourism Bureau seeks to remove the current $350,000 revenue

threshold for collections. The current SCTBIA assessment rate of 2%

would remain unchanged. The Parking and Business Improvement Area

Law of 1989 requires the consent of the Santa Rosa City Council

before any changes to assessments collected within Santa Rosa city

limits may be considered by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and

Economic Development Department that the Council, by resolution,

consent to a change to the assessment methodology outlined in

Sonoma County Ordinance No. 5525, removing the $350,000 revenue

threshold for participation of Santa Rosa lodging establishments in the

Sonoma County Tourism Business Improvement Area pending the

outcome of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors Public Hearing

and subsequent action.
