REPORT - PROJECT APPROVAL AND APPROVAL OF THE  
ACQUISITION OF A PORTION OF 1400 FOUNTAINGROVE  
PARKWAY FOR THE PERMANENT FIRE STATION NO. 5 REBUILD  
PROJECT (FIRE STATION 5 RESILIENCY AND RELOCATION)  
BACKGROUND: The City seeks to acquire an approximately 2.11-acre  
portion of Keysight’s campus located at 1400 Fountaingrove Parkway,  
Santa Rosa, CA (the “Property”) in order to relocate and rebuild Fire  
Station 5, formerly located at 2201 Newgate Ct., following the original  
station’s destruction in the 2017 Tubbs Fire. Relocation of the  
permanent Fire Station 5 to the proposed acquisition site will improve  
service, allow for upstaffing, and serve as a forward command post in  
the event of large emergencies.  
An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), and Mitigation  
Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) have been prepared in  
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to  
analyze and mitigate the potential environmental impacts associated  
with the proposed acquisition and construction of a new 10,763 square  
foot fire station on the Property. The IS/MND concludes that the  
proposed project would not result in any significant or potentially  
significant effects on the environment if the mitigation measures  
identified in the IS/MND are adopted and made conditions of approval  
of the proposed project.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Fire Department,  
Transportation and Public Works Department and Real Estate Services  
that Council, by resolution: 1) Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration  
and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Permanent  
Fire Station No. 5 Relocation and Rebuild Project (Fire Station 5  
Resiliency and Relocation); 2) Approve the Project; 3) Approve the  
acquisition of approximately 2.11 acres of a portion of 1400  
Fountaingrove Parkway, Santa Rosa, CA, APN 173-670-022, for the  
new Fire Station 5; and 4) Authorize the Assistant City Manager or  
designee to execute all documents necessary to complete the  
acquisition and all documents related, subject to approval as to form by  
the City Attorney.  
13.2  
REPORT - DIVERSITY OF CITY COUNCIL BOARDS, COMMISSIONS,  
AND COMMITTEES  
BACKGROUND: City Charter Section 11, Participation and Diversity in  
Boards and Commissions, requires that the Council issue an annual  
written report, to be discussed in public session, regarding its  
appointments to boards, commissions, and committees. The report  
shall contain, but is not limited to, the total number of appointments in a  
given year, the total number applications in a given year, and relevant  
diversity information including geographic and ethnic diversity.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Clerk’s Office that  
the Council, by motion, accept the Annual Reports of Diversity of City  
Council Appointees for the years 2018 through 2021 and provide  
feedback to staff on future reports.

APPLICATION FOR FTA SECTION 5310 FUNDS FOR PURCHASE  
OF REPLACEMENT ADA PARATRANSIT VEHICLES  
BACKGROUND: Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310  
program funds are appropriated to urbanized areas across the United  
States to support transportation services for older adults and persons  
living with a disability. Applications for the 5310 grant process in

local jurisdiction to hold a public hearing as well as adopt a resolution  
prior to applying for 5310 funds. Santa Rosa’s application will request  
funding for eligible ADA Paratransit vehicles.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and  
Public Works Department that the Council: 1) hold a public hearing to  
determine whether any private non-profit is readily available to provide  
paratransit services within the City; and, 2) by resolution, authorize the  
City Manager or designee to execute and file a grant application with
