REPORT - FY 2023-24 PUBLIC SAFETY AND PREVENTION TAX  
ANNUAL REPORT  
BACKGROUND: Ordinance 3680 added Chapter 3-26 to the Santa

special tax measure, known as Measure O, increased sales tax by a  
quarter percent to fund specific Police, Fire, and the Violence Prevention  
Partnership, which was originally known as the Gang Prevention and  
Youth Programs, as set forth in the Ordinance. The Ordinance also  
established a seven-member Public Safety and Prevention Tax Citizen  
Oversight Committee, with members appointed by the City Council, to  
annually review expenditures and appropriations of the tax revenues to  
ensure that all such revenues are spent or appropriated for the  
purposes and uses set forth in the Ordinance. Each year, an Annual  
Report is prepared by City staff, reviewed by the Public Safety and  
Prevention Tax Citizen Oversight Committee, and presented to the City  
Council reporting on expenditures and activities during the past fiscal  
year.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance, Fire, Police,  
and Recreation and Parks Departments, the Violence Prevention  
Partnership Program, and the Public Safety and Prevention Tax  
Citizen’s Oversight Committee that the Council, by motion, accept the  
Public Safety and Prevention Tax Annual Report for Fiscal Year

16. PUBLIC HEARINGS  
Public Hearing matters will begin no earlier than 5:00 p.m. or as soon  
thereafter as the matters are reached on the agenda.  
16.1  
PUBLIC HEARING - PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW EVIDENCE OF  
DEFAULT BY CORNERSTONE PROPERTIES II, LLC ON THE  
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 410 B STREET, SANTA ROSA, CA APN  
010-045-025  
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase and Sale for  
Future Infill Development and Joint Escrow Instructions (“Agreement”),  
the City sold the property located at 410 B Street in downtown Santa  
Rosa (APN 010-045-025) (“Property”) to Cornerstone Properties II, LLC  
(“Cornerstone”) on August 27, 2021, subject to the requirement that  
Cornerstone satisfy specific development milestones by specified  
deadlines. The City has granted Cornerstone two extensions of the  
deadlines for completion of the development milestones, totaling an  
additional 2.5 years. Because Cornerstone did not complete the  
development milestones by August 24, 2024, the second extended  
deadline, it is in material default of the Agreement. After meeting with  
Cornerstone, City staff determined that Cornerstone is not likely to  
move forward with the timely development of the Property even if the  
City further extends the milestone deadlines and issued a notice of  
default on August 29, 2024. The Agreement stipulates that following  
issuance of a notice of default, the Council must hold a public hearing  
to review evidence of defaults by Cornerstone and may elect to  
repurchase the property from Cornerstone for the Call Purchase Price  
of $1,340,000 (which is equal to the original purchase price) in  
accordance with Section 23(d) of the Agreement if Council determines  
that Cornerstone is in default.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by Real Estate Services that  
the Council: 1) conduct a public hearing to review evidence of the  
defaults by Cornerstone Properties II, LLC “(Cornerstone”) on the  
property located at 410 B Street, APN 010-045-025 (“Property”) in  
connection with the Agreement of Purchase and Sale for Future Infill  
Development and Joint Escrow Instructions (“Agreement”); and 2) by  
resolution, elect to repurchase the Property for the Call Purchase Price  
of $1,340,000 in accordance with the terms of section 23 (d) of the  
Agreement to facilitate the revitalization of the City’s downtown and  
Council’s goal to create more housing.
