3.1  
UPDATE ON PG&E’S POTTER VALLEY PROJECT  
In July 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)  
accepted Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) proposed  
30-month schedule to prepare and submit a license surrender  
application and decommissioning plan for the Potter Valley  
Hydroelectric Project (Project), which is located along the Eel River and  
diverts water into the East Fork Russian River providing water supply to  
Sonoma Water. PG&E will continue operating the Project under annual  
FERC licenses in the interim, but it remains unclear whether diversions  
from the Eel River to Russian River will continue after decommissioning  
of the Project. Sonoma Water and a collection of regional partners are  
initiating a collaborative process - the Russian River Water Forum - that  
aims to preserve the flow of water from the Project into the Russian  
River while also fostering collaboration to support water supply  
resiliency in the Russian River watershed. Santa Rosa’s Water  
Advisory Committee (WAC) member, Councilmember Rogers, and  
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) member, Water Director Jennifer  
Burke, have been invited to provide input on Santa Rosa’s perspective  
on the future of the Project. Santa Rosa Water staff will provide an  
update on the Project and next steps. The Council may receive  
information, ask questions, discuss and provide direction regarding the  
future of the Potter Valley Project to inform Santa Rosa’s WAC and TAC  
member for participation in the Russian River Water Forum.

14. REPORT ITEMS  
14.1  
REPORT - INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO THE SANTA  
ROSA CITY CODE ADDING CHAPTER 10-22 LOST PROPERTY  
BACKGROUND: The Santa Rosa Police Department does not currently  
have a method by which it can dispose of lost or abandoned property  
valued in excess of $250.00. While City Code 11-42 allows the  
Department to dispose of toys, sporting equipment, and bicycles, the  
Department is routinely forced to store other items which do not fall  
under the categories set forth in City Code 11-42.  
Civil Code 2080.4 allows municipalities to create an ordinance that  
would legally empower a City to dispose of items valued in excess of  
$250.00.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Police Department that  
the Council introduce an ordinance to amend Title 10 of the Santa Rosa  
City Code by adding Chapter 10-22 Lost Property for the disposition of  
unclaimed lost property.

Separate Storm Sewer Systems, NPDES No. CA0025054, which staff  
will be recommending be incorporated into the Santa Rosa City Code  
by reference.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Fire Department and  
the Planning and Economic Development Department that the Council:

California Fire Code as adopted and amended by the State of  
California, and further amended based on local conditions, for use in  
Chapter 18-44 of the Santa Rosa City Code, repeal existing sections  
not applicable to new codes and modify the Santa Rosa City Code to  
reflect the new model code; 2) introduce an ordinance adopting by  
reference, with local amendments, the 2022 California Administrative  
Code, 2022 California Building Code, 2022 California Residential Code,
