14. REPORT ITEMS  
14.1  
REPORT - APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH TOUCHSTONE  
GOLF LLC., FOR MANAGEMENT OF BENNETT VALLEY GOLF  
COURSE ENTERPRISE  
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this action is to receive approval from  
Council to enter into an agreement with Touchstone Golf LLC.,  
(Touchstone) to operate and maintain the Bennett Valley Golf Course  
(BVGC), including the restaurant facilities. On February 15, 2021, the  
BVGC Ad Hoc Committee and the Transportation and Public Works  
Department recommended, and Council approved a solicitation for a  
single operator to manage the operations and maintenance of BVGC.  
Touchstone is recommended as the highest ranked firm from the BVGC  
Review Committee for operation and maintenance management of the  
BVGC.  
Approval of the Resolution will implement the Operating and  
Maintenance Agreement with Touchstone to manage the BVGC.  
Touchstone, the city, and the current golf course operator will  
implement the transition plan from the Agreement with Touchstone and  
provide continuity of golf operations and maintenance between the  
current golf course operator and Touchstone.  
The transition plan includes but is not limited to providing golf tee times,  
opening the restaurant, maintaining the golf course facility and  
equipment, marketing, and outreach strategies, and all the support  
services necessary for operating the BVGC enterprise. Approval of the  
Resolution will utilize the remaining Fiscal Year 21-22 funds from the  
BVGC Capital Fund for implementation of the transition plan capital  
needs.  
The city will earn all revenues from the golf course enterprise and those  
revenues will fund all expenditures, including a management fee and  
incentive to Touchstone. Approval of the Resolution authorizes the  
Chief Financial Officer to appropriate all expenditures from the  
revenues. Current operating reserves are low, and therefore the  
Resolution will authorize funds from the General Fund to create the  
sufficient level of reserves.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and  
Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution: 1) approve the  
Agreement with Touchstone Golf LLC., to manage the Bennett Valley  
Golf Course (BVGC) Enterprise; and 2) authorize increased  
appropriations in the BVGC Operations Fund in the amount of $345,000  
to fund the transition plan capital costs from the Agreement, with the  
source of the funds from the BVGC Capital Fund; and 3) authorize  
increased appropriations in the BVGC Operations Fund in the amount  
of $351,225 for the creation of sufficient projected reserves with the  
source of the funds from the General Fund; and 4) authorize the Chief  
Financial Officer to appropriate all operator fees and operating and  
maintenance expenditures from BVGC revenue to Touchstone Golf  
LLC., as described in the Agreement; and 5) authorize city assumption  
of the responsibility for the golf cart contract with the current golf  
operator.

Samuel L. Jones Hall Homeless Shelter (SJH) for Fiscal Year  
2022/2023, subsequent review by an evaluation committee and staff  
recommendation, on February 22, 2022, Council approved Catholic

providers which currently contract with the City and submitted  
applications in response to the RFP - Catholic Charities (Homeless  
Services Center, Family Support Center, and Homeless Outreach  
Services Team) and YWCA Sonoma County (Safe House Shelter).  
Council also directed staff to return with contracts for their  
consideration. Funding recommendations were not made as part of the  
February 22, 2022 Council action.  
Consistent with Council direction, this agenda item seeks approval of

REPORT - MEASURE O (2004) CYCLE XI CHOICE GRANT

voters in 2004 allocates grant funding to organizations for youth and  
parenting programs which focus on gang and anti-violence education,  
prevention and intervention, community safety, and a comprehensive  
array of social services in high need neighborhoods. On January 10,  
2022 the City of Santa Rosa released a Request for Qualification for the  
Measure O Cycle XI CHOICE Grant Program with $750,000 in available  
funding per year of the two and a half year cycle from July 1, 2022 -  
December 31, 2024. Staff will present the funding recommendations  
from the Grant Review Team.

Engagement that the Council, by resolution: 1) adopt the yearly funding  
recommendations of the Grant Review Team for the Measure O (2004)  
CHOICE Cycle XI Grant Program with year two and three funding  
contingent on successful completion of year one; 2) direct staff to enter

REPORT - PARKLET PROGRAM MANUAL ADOPTION  
BACKGROUND: The Parklet Program provides a pathway for  
businesses to build outdoor spaces in the public right-of-way for  
business and/or public community uses. The COVID prompted  
temporary Parklet Program has allowed businesses to use parking and  
underutilized areas of public streets to offset indoor use restrictions  
connected to local and state health orders. A permanent program would  
outline installation requirements and ensure compliance with all  
associated federal, state and local codes, policies, and standards, as  
well as set procedures and apply existing fees associated with these  
uses.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and  
Economic Development Department that the Council, by resolution: 1)  
adopt the Parklet Program Manual, outlining requirements to expand a  
business’ outdoor operating space on a public street and assign  
existing service fees to applications initiated under the program; 2)  
authorize the Director of Planning and Economic Development to  
approve future changes to the Parklet Program Manual when  
references to Local, State and Federal Code requirements, adopted  
fees or application submittal processes require updating; and 3)  
authorize the Parking Manager to determine the total number of  
metered parking spaces within the Downtown Station Area that may be  
utilized for the permanent parklet program.

REPORT - CITY CODE CHAPTER 18-52 FLOOD DAMAGE  
PROTECTION AMENDMENTS  
BACKGROUND: The proposed ordinance amends sections of the City  
Code as required to maintain compliance with FEMA’s National Flood  
Insurance Program (NFIP) minimum regulatory standards set forth in the  
Code of Federal Regulations and to enable the City to continue  
participating in the NFIP and ensure continued compliance with the  
California Department of Water Resources requirements embedded in  
California Building Standards Code (CCR Title 24). 44 Code of Federal  
Regulations 60.3 requires that local jurisdictions administer minimum  
requirements when development is proposed and constructed in  
flood-prone areas. The action supports the Council goal of ensuring a  
healthy and safe community by protecting development in flood prone  
areas.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and  
Economic Development Department that the Council: 1) introduce an  
ordinance amending City Code Chapter 18-52, Flood Damage  
Protection, to comply with regulatory requirements that our ordinance  
coincide with 44 Code of Federal Regulations 60.3; and 2) adopt a  
resolution setting a public hearing on July 12, 2022, for adoption of the  
Ordinance.
