15. PUBLIC HEARINGS

15.1

PUBLIC HEARING - REDISTRICTING OF CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS:

INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE TO ADOPT FINAL MAP

ESTABLISHING NEW DISTRICT BOUNDARIES FOR ELECTION OF

COUNCILMEMBERS (FAIR MAPS ACT) - FINAL PUBLIC HEARING

BACKGROUND: On December 7, 2021, the Council held its first of a

series of public hearings in the process for the decennial review of City

Council Member district boundaries. Cities with district-based elections

are required to update (“redistrict”) the district boundaries every ten

years, following the receipt of updated population data from each

federal decennial census. Santa Rosa is required to redistrict the

Council district boundaries prior to the next City Council election in

2022.

The Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political

Subdivisions (FAIR MAPS) Act requires cities and counties to engage

communities in the redistricting process. The process must include at

least four public hearings, one of which may be conducted as a

community workshop.

The four required public hearings have now been held. Draft district

maps have been published, discussed and considered, including draft

maps prepared by the public and by the City’s demographer. On March

1, 2022, following the fourth public hearing, Council directed staff to

elevate Map A2 for consideration and adoption. This will be the fifth and

final public hearing to receive input from the community regarding

adoption of a final map of voting districts for district-based elections of

Council Members beginning in 2022.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Attorney and City

Clerk that the Council: 1) hold a public hearing to receive input from the

community regarding the composition of voting districts for the

district-based election of Council Members, in accordance with

Elections Code section 21627.1; and 2) introduce an ordinance

adopting a new district boundary map for the election of City Council

members beginning in 2022.

15.2

PUBLIC HEARING - WATER DEMAND OFFSET POLICY, FEE

STUDY, AND FEES

BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa is required by California Law

to prepare an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water

Shortage Contingency Plan (Shortage Plan) every five years to assess

the adequacy and reliability of water supplies for current and future

needs as well as plan for and detail how the City will respond to various

levels of water supply shortage. On November 18, 2021, the Board of

Public Utilities (BPU), by resolution, recommended the City Council

adopt the Water Demand Offset (WDO) Policy, WDO Fee Study, and

WDO Fees which have been developed to implement the City’s

Shortage Plan requirement that new construction must offset water

demand during water shortage emergencies that require very restrictive

water allocations (water rationing) by the City’s existing customers. On

November 30, 2021, the City Council held a public hearing to receive

public comments and provide input to staff. Council asked staff to

complete additional analysis and develop potential alternatives for City

Council consideration at a later date. On March 17, 2022, staff

presented the additional information that was prepared in response to

Council’s direction to the BPU. The BPU, by motion, reaffirmed their

recommendation that the City Council adopt the Water Demand Offset

(WDO) Policy, WDO Fee Study, and WDO Fees.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public

Utilities and Santa Rosa Water that the Council, by resolution: 1) adopt

Council Policy 000-72 - Water Demand Offset Policy; 2) adopt the

Water Demand Offset Fee Study dated February 9, 2022; 3) adopt the

Water Demand Offset Fees; and 4) authorize the Water Demand Offset

Fees to be adjusted on an annual basis to account for inflation at the

beginning of the calendar year (January 1) starting in 2023, using the

Engineering News Record’s 20-Cities Construction Cost Index.
