REPORT - UTILITY CERTIFICATE FOR ECO FARM HOLDINGS, INC,  
LOCATED AT 369 TODD ROAD, ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBER  
134-102-023 (FILE NO. UC21-003)  
BACKGROUND: On May 28, 2002, the Santa Rosa City Council  
adopted Resolution No. 25260, which granted a Utility Certificate (File  
No. UC02-004) to the existing uses operating on nine unincorporated  
properties with contaminated wells along Todd Road, including the  
subject property located at 369 Todd Road which was operating as an  
auto body shop at the time the certificate was granted.  
On January 28, 2020, the Sonoma County Permit & Resource  
Management Department granted a limited five-year term Use Permit for  
an indoor cannabis manufacturing, distribution, and transportation  
operation located within three existing industrial buildings, located at  
369 Todd Road. One of the conditions of the approval requires that the  
applicant/operator obtain a City of Santa Rosa Utility Certificate prior to  
building permit issuance. The approved change of use requires the  
approval of a new Utility Certificate.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and  
Economic Development Department that Council, by resolution,  
approve a Utility Certificate (File No. UC21-003) to extend City water  
service to provide fire suppression water to Eco Farm Holdings, Inc,  
located at 369 Todd Road (APN 134-101-023), which is outside the City  
boundary, but within the Ultimate Urban Boundary.

REPORT - APPROVAL OF SECTION 115 TRUST AGREEMENTS  
AND APPROPRIATION OF INITIAL FUNDING  
BACKGROUND: In September 2021, the staff presented pension  
funding strategies to the City Council at a study session. One such  
strategy is to establish an Internal Revenue Code Section 115 Trust  
(Trust), which is an actively managed fund, outside the City’s  
investment portfolio, that may only be used to pay pension obligations.  
The City would use this Trust initially to reduce the current unfunded  
accrued liability (UAL) associated with its CalPERS pensions.  
Staff proposes an initial deposit to the Trust of $10,000,000 from the  
fiscal stability funds assigned in the General Fund reserves, and  
$4,400,000 from Santa Rosa Water (SRW) enterprise funds reserves to  
pre-fund pension obligations. Annual contributions to the Trust from the  
General Fund and SRW will begin after the City’s existing Pension  
Obligation Bonds are paid off in 2024. By redirecting budget the debt  
service payments to Trust contributions, the City will benefit from annual  
contributions to build up Trust balances without increasing the budget.  
The City’s strategy relative to the Trust is to use it as a long-term  
investment vehicle to address the City’s CalPERS UAL. The initial  
funding goal will be to accumulate a balance in the trust equal to the  
General Fund’s highest scheduled annual UAL payment; then to use  
the Trust in combination with CalPERS valuation reports to achieve  
100% funded status; and finally to utilize the Trust as a pension  
stabilization fund by using the accumulated funds to offset future  
higher-than-usual normal cost or UAL payments.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance Department  
that the Council, by resolution: 1) approve the execution of the Adoption  
Agreement for the Post-Employment Benefits Trust (Adoption  
Agreement) between the City and PFM Asset Management LLC  
(PFMAM) incorporating and adopting the Trust Agreement as well as  
approving the Trust Administrative Services Agreement and Investment  
Policy Statements included as exhibits to the Adoption Agreement; 2)  
authorize the City Manager, Assistant City Manager and the Chief  
Financial Officer as officers with authority to execute necessary  
documents and agreements to carry out the trust services on behalf of  
the City including, but not limited to the Adoption Agreement and Trust  
Administrative Services Agreement; and 3) approve an initial deposit of  
$10,000,000 from the General Fund reserves assigned for fiscal  
stability, and $4,400,000 from Santa Rosa Water enterprise fund  
reserves to the Section 115 Trust for the purpose of pre-funding  
pension obligations.
