14.1

REPORT - COOPERATIVE FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH SONOMA

COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY AND ASSOCIATED

FUNDING PLAN AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR PHASE 3 OF

THE HEARN AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT

BACKGROUND: The City desires to complete Phase 3 of the Hearn

Avenue Improvements Project and believes entering into a cooperative

funding agreement with the Sonoma County Transportation Authority

(SCTA) is a positive step to finally delivering this critical multimodal

infrastructure project. The partnership described in the proposed

cooperative funding agreement includes a series of actions required by

the City Council to establish a final funding plan and retain $5,000,000

granted to SCTA through the Senate Bill Local Partnership Program

before those funds lapse at the end of Fiscal Year 2022-23. The

proposed funding plan includes moving $3,400,000 in State

Transportation Improvement Funds from the US 101 Bicycle and

Pedestrian Overcrossing Project (Elliot/Edwards Avenues) to the Hearn

Avenue Improvements Project, appropriating $8,600,000 from the

unassigned General Fund reserves and committing to appropriate

$3,714,279 in SB1-LSR (FY23-24) funds with the Fiscal Year 2023-24

budget.

The proposed Agreement also provides for SCTA to assume Project

management. SCTA, in turn, intends to enter into a cooperative

agreement with Caltrans for advertising and award of bids and

construction administration.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager’s Office

and Transportation and Public Works Department, that the Council, by

Resolution, delegate authority to the City Manager to negotiate and

execute a Cooperative Funding Agreement with the Sonoma County

Transportation Authority, to include moving $3,400,000 in State

Transportation Improvement Funds (STIP) from the US 101 Bicycle and

Pedestrian Overcrossing Project to the Hearn Avenue Improvements

Project, appropriating $8,600,000 from the unassigned General Fund

reserves and committing to appropriate $3,714,279 in SB1-LSR

(FY23-24) funds with the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget to complete

Phase 3 of the Hearn Avenue Improvements project. The Agreement

will also provide for Sonoma County Transportation Authority to assume

management of the Project.

Duane De Witt spoke on the South Davis Park Survey results noting

15. PUBLIC HEARINGS

15.1

PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 6-66 OF THE

SANTA ROSA CITY CODE - INTRODUCING A MOBILEHOME RENT

CONTROL ORDINANCE

BACKGROUND: City of Santa Rosa mobilehome park residents

(“Residents”) requested a reduction in the maximum allowable annual

rent increase. City staff (“Staff”) has reviewed the local and statewide

mobilehome rent control landscape and has convened ad hoc meetings

between Residents and mobilehome park owners (“Owners”).

Accordingly, Staff recommends that the Council reduce the maximum

annual allowed rent increase from 100% of CPI with a 6% cap to 75% of

CPI with a 5% cap and allow Owners to raise rents by 10% upon

in-place transfers. In-place transfers occur when a mobilehome owner

sells their home to another person. Currently, the City Code does not

allow in-place transfer increases in half of the parks and limits such

increases in the other half.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and

Community Services Department and the City Attorney’s Office that the

Council introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 6-66 of the Santa

Rosa City Code to: (1) reduce the allowable annual rent increases from

100% of CPI with a 6% cap to 75% of CPI with a 5% cap; (2) allow for a

10% increase in space rent following an In-Place Transfer; and (3)

make other minor amendments to conform to changes in State law.

Megan Basinger, Director of Housing and Community Services, and

Jeff Berk, Chief Assistant City Attorney, presented and answered

questions from Council.

Diane Monroe spoke thanking everyone who worked on this issue,

implored Council to limit space rent increases as much as possible

and to prevent the 5.7% increase for 2023.

Roger McConnell spoke expressing disappointment in the

discussions at the ad hoc committee meetings, the need to lower

the cap and lower percentage rate of the CPI.

Ken Kravenas, representing The Orchard, spoke on the park owners

to park residents, and asked staff to work with park owners to

document terms of the proposal.

Steve Hathaway, representing Roseland Mobile Home Park, spoke

in support of the mobile home park owners proposal and asked

Council to accept the proposal.

Mark Winters, representing Rancho Cabeza Mobile Home Park,

spoke addressing the cost of reinvesting in a mobile home park.

Greg O'Hagan, manages Rancho San Miguel Mobile Home Park,

spoke on the balance needed in mobile home rent control

ordinances, the time and cost to conduct fair rate of return hearings,

and urged Council to accept the park owners proposal.

Bart Thompsen, representing Woodcrest and Wayside Gardens,

spoke on the owners proposal being sustainable.

Tom LaPenna spoke thanking Council for listening, reading their

emails, and meeting with the residents, and the residents trusting the

Mayor, Council, and City Manager to do the right thing for the mobile

home owners.

Sharon Lieberman spoke thanking the committee for their work, on

the conflict between residents and park owners, social security not

keeping up with costs, and the need for better communication with

park owners.

Don McCloud spoke on seniors being the fastest growing segment

of the homeless population, and the need to keep manufactured

homes affordable.

Macy McFarland spoke on saving all her life to have security when

she retired and now not having enough to live with the rising costs.

Margaret Dematteo, Housing Policy Attorney with Legal Aid of

Sonoma County, spoke expressing support for the residents, and

asked for a 3% cap on increases and tying increases to Social

Security cost of living.

Debby Stack spoke on her income and expenses, and expressed

concern on the lack of communication by HCA Management.

Resident, Housing Navigator with Sonoma County, spoke on

housing a 70 year old woman who was living in her car, expressed

the lack of communication by the park owner, and on being

disappointed in the staff recommendation.

Gary Brady spoke on people paying cash for their homes, a

minimum of the money collected from rent being spent on

infrastructure of the park and maintenance deferred, and the

recommendation of 75% of CPI being too much for the services

received.

Maggie Bradly spoke expressing the staff recommendation does

not go far enough, 75% of CPI being too high for Sonoma County,

the park owner being unresponsive to park residents, emphasized

$100,000 not being enough to help residents, and asked Council

and staff to revisit the numbers.

Deb Wright spoke on being grateful for being able to buy her own

home, and thanked everyone for the time they have given to attend

the meeting.

Joanne Jones, Vice President Santa Rosa Mobilehome

Association, spoke expressing concern the staff recommendation

not being fair, and the residents asking for 65% of the CPI with a

3.5% cap and 3.5% for in-place transfer as a fair compromise.

Resident spoke on being shocked rent increases are based on the

previous year's increase, expressed concern that something has to

be seriously wrong before anything is fixed, and feels residents are

not asking for too much.

Patti Restaino spoke on the cost burden when people are paying

more than 50% of their income for housing, cost increases being

compounded, the need to look at the whole picture of the residents

being impacted, and Council to consider lowering the cap to a 3.5%

increase.

Mayor C. Rogers closed the public hearing at 8:33 p.m.

Member Fleming, to waive reading of the text and introduce as amended

REPORT ITEMS

14.2

REPORT - ENERGY AUDIT AND MICROGRID STUDY

BACKGROUND: The Transportation and Public Works Department has

been delegated the responsibility of maintaining the City’s buildings and

public structures and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To improve

the Department’s ability to properly deploy staff resources, develop a

long-term maintenance program, and assist City Council with Climate

Action goals, staff is recommending that Council, by motion, direct the

Transportation and Public Works Department to pursue an option for

funding solar at Municipal Service Center North (MSCN) recommended

by AECOM.

A Business Plan was developed that investigates different financing

mechanisms for implementation of the decarbonization plan including

Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC), Power Purchase

Agreement (PPA) and Energy Service Agreement (ESA). For each of

these mechanisms, the business plan studies life cycle cost analysis,

return on investment, operations and maintenance forecasting, as well

as risk analysis.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Department of

Transportation and Public Works that the Council, by motion, direct the

Transportation and Public Works Department to pursue solar and

Microgrid options for the Municipal Service Center North complex.
