C. Letter of Credit In Lieu of Cash Payment For Labor Costs.

In lieu of the cash payment of the Electrical Improvement Labor Deposit due from Phase 1 Developer to the City, as required in Paragraph 8.B. above, Phase 1 Developer may arrange for payment of City’s labor costs by providing an irrevocable bank letter of credit in the amount of Electrical Improvement Labor Deposit, providing for payment against invoices from the City without the right of set-off (regardless of the timing of the delivery of the materials or services for the construction of the Electric System Utility Equipment Improvements), and in all matters as to the bank, the form and the substance shall be satisfactory to the City’s Administrative Services Director.

D. Limitation Of City Work.

The City’s estimated costs of constructing the Electric System Utility Equipment Improvements do not include and will not include the costs of, and City will not perform any of, the Electric System Substructure Improvements, including but not limited to the necessary tasks of, trenching, excavation, equipment pads, boxes, lids, conduit, backfill, compaction, paving, or other tasks and equipment necessary for the installation of the substructure required for the Electric System Improvements, including providing any imported backfill that may be required, all of which shall be performed by and at the expense of the Phase 1 Developer. As and to the extent that such trenching is to be used jointly by Phase 1 Developer or others for installation of other public utility systems, it shall be the responsibility of the Phase 1 Developer to coordinate such joint use, and to allocate the respective costs of the same.

E. Completion of Electric System Utility Equipment Improvements.

City shall use reasonable diligence in timely completing installation of the Electric System Utility Equipment Improvements, but the City shall not be responsible for delays beyond its control or without its fault including, but not limited to, all recognized causes of force majeure that the City provides written notice of within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any such delay, strikes or other labor disturbances, delay in obtaining material, limitations of manpower availability taking into account other demands on the City’s manpower (as long as the City does not arbitrarily shift manpower to another project, causing delays on this project), or any delays or interferences caused by Phase 1 Developer, other utilities, or its contractors or any lower tier subcontractors. Regardless of the cause, if the City delays completion of the Electric System Utility Equipment Improvements for more than 45 days beyond the original estimated completion date, Phase 1 Developer and City agree to discuss options for completing the remaining work; however, the final decision regarding how to complete the remaining work shall be the City’s decision, in its sole discretion.

The bid documents and each of Phase 1 Developer’s contract shall require all contractors for the construction of the Public Improvements to pay prevailing wages in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Labor Code. Phase 1 Developer shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute and construct the Public Improvements available to interested parties upon request and shall post copies at the Phase 1 Developer’s principal place of business and at the Site. Phase 1 Developer shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, contractors and volunteers free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

12.TIME OF ESSENCE/TIME FOR PERFORMANCE
Time is of the essence for this Agreement; therefore, Phase 1 Developer hereby agrees to complete the Public Improvements, and satisfy all provisions of this Agreement within the applicable time periods provided in Paragraph 4. Any extensions of time shall not relieve or reduce the surety’s liability on the security provided to insure performance of this Agreement.

Phase 1 Developer shall at all times maintain proper facilities and provide safe access for inspection by City to all parts of the Public Improvements and to the shops wherein the work is in preparation throughout its construction. The City Engineer shall have the authority to reject all materials and workmanship that are not in accordance with the Tentative Map Conditions, the Design Review Conditions, the Construction Plans, the City Code, and the City Standards, and all such materials and/or work shall be removed promptly by Phase 1 Developer and replaced to the satisfaction of the City without any expense to the City.

15. REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS
Prior to the City Council’s acceptance of the Public Improvements as complete in accordance with Paragraph 23, Phase 1 Developer shall replace, or have replaced, or repair, or have repaired, as the case may be, all Public Improvements or other improvements adjacent to the work which have been destroyed, damaged or are rejected by the City Engineer, and Phase 1 Developer shall replace or have replaced, repair or have repaired, as the case may be, or pay to the owner, the entire cost of replacement or repairs of any and all property destroyed, damaged or not acceptable to the City Engineer by reason of any work done or being done hereunder, whether such property be owned by the United States or any agency thereof, or the State of California, or any agency or political subdivision thereof, or by the City or by any public or private corporation, or by any persons whomsoever, or by any combination of such owners. Any such repair or replacement shall be equal or better than the existing improvements and shall be completed in accordance with the Tentative Map Conditions, the Design Review Conditions, the Construction Plans, the City Code and City Standards and are subject to the approval of the City Engineer.

Should the Phase 1 Developer fail to act within fifteen (15) days of destruction, damage, or written notification of rejection by the City Engineer of any of the Public Improvements, or other improvements damaged by the work, or should the exigencies of the case require repairs or replacements to be made before the Phase 1 Developer can be notified or before the Phase 1 Developer has acted, the City may, at its option, do the necessary work, and the Phase 1 Developer and his surety shall be liable to the City for the direct cost of such work (including the cost of materials, engineering, inspection, testing and superintendence) plus twenty percent (20%) of the amount for the direct cost of such work to cover overhead, contracting costs and other related costs (“indirect costs”) associated with the cost of performing such work.

Upon acceptance by the City Council of the Public Improvements as complete in accordance with Paragraph 23, and delivery of the Warranty and Maintenance Security by Phase 1 Developer to City pursuant to Paragraph 2.A., Phase 1 Developer shall have no further obligations under this Paragraph 15, subject to the terms and provisions of Paragraph

16. 16. REPAIR OR RECONSTRUCTION OF DEFECTIVE WORK
The Phase 1 Developer shall guarantee the Public Improvements constructed by Phase 1 Developer, and all supplies, materials, and devices incorporated in, or attached to, the work, or otherwise delivered to the City as part of the work pursuant to this Agreement to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year (except for those manufactured products where extended warranties have been provided, in which case the extended warranty period shall apply) following the date of acceptance of the Public Improvements as complete by the City Council in accordance with Paragraph 23. The Phase 1 Developer shall agree to make, at his own expense, any repairs or replacements or to reconstruct defects in material, or workmanship, or both, which become evident within said guarantee period. The Phase 1 Developer shall further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the City and City staff against and from all claims and liability arising from damage and injury due to said defects.

17. USE OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
At all times prior to the City Council’s acceptance of the Public Improvements as complete in accordance with Paragraph 23, the use of any or all of the Public Improvements shall be at the sole and exclusive risk of Phase 1 Developer. The issuance of any building or occupancy permit by City for structures or dwellings located within the Site shall not be construed in any manner to constitute a partial or final acceptance or approval of any or all such Public Improvements by City. Phase 1 Developer agrees that City’s Building Official may withhold the issuance of building or occupancy permits when the work or its progress may substantially and/or detrimentally affect public health, safety, or welfare, as determined by said Building Official.

Any such notice of default shall be deemed “served” upon delivery, in the event of personal service, or upon deposit when delivery is by the U.S. Postal Service or other commercial courier, as described in Paragraph 26, below.

21. DUTY OF SURETY UPON NOTICE OF DEFAULT
In the event that City serves a Notice of Default upon Phase 1 Developer’s surety, Phase 1 Developer’s surety shall have the duty to take over and complete the Public Improvements; provided, however, that if the surety, within fifteen (15) calendar days after serving such notice by City, fails to provide City with a written acknowledgment that the surety will take over and complete such Public Improvements, then by further written notice to the surety by City, City may elect to take over the work and prosecute the same to completion, by contract or by any other method City may deem advisable, for the account and at the expense of the Phase 1 Developer and Phase 1 Developer’s surety.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Fire Department SB 1205 Inspection Report
PREPARED BY: Jason Boaz, Fire Chief
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Provide Effective Governance
Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution acknowledging receipt of a report regarding the inspection of certain occupancies required to receive annual inspections pursuant to Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3 of the California Health and Safety Code.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The Fire Chief provides an annual report to the City Council summarizing fire department activities, including inspection completion rates.

BACKGROUND:

The devastating Ghost Ship warehouse fire in Oakland in 2016 highlighted deficiencies in fire safety enforcement. In response, SB 1205 was enacted in 2018, requiring fire departments to track and report compliance with mandated fire inspections to ensure safety and accountability.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

SB 1205 enhances transparency and ensures that local fire departments meet legal obligations for fire safety inspections. It holds fire protection agencies accountable for completing and reporting required inspections.

EXISTING LAW:

Existing law mandates fire departments to enforce building standards and inspect structures annually for compliance. SB 1205 adds reporting requirements to ensure accountability.

INSPECTION COMPLIANCE REPORTING: During the 2024 calendar year, the Healdsburg Fire Department completed 100% of required inspections for both Group E (educational) and Group R (residential) occupancies, in full compliance with SB 1205.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

This report does not have environmental implications.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may acknowledge the report through alternative methods instead of a resolution.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Fees for Group R occupancy inspections are structured based on unit count and outlined in the Master Fee Schedule. In Fiscal Year 2024-25, the Fire Department billed $25,979 for these inspections with the revenue going into the General Fund to offset the fire department costs to complete the inspections.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed action is an administrative activity of the City that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment; and is, therefore, not a project for purposes of CEQA.

bills. A dedicated webpage has been created on the City’s website at https://healdsburg.gov/1152/Transition-to-District-Elections. Information is available to the public with background information about the districting process, upcoming hearing dates, and supporting documents.

Both public hearings and community meetings will continue to include live interpretation services.

BACKGROUND:

The California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) was enacted in 2001, in part, to provide minority groups in California with tools to prevent dilution of votes in “at-large” election systems – meaning each Councilmember is elected by the registered voters of the entire City. The CVRA prohibits any at-large voting system that hinders the ability of a protected class to elect candidates of its choice or influence the outcome of an election. A violation of the CVRA is established if racially polarized voting occurs in elections for Councilmembers or other matters submitted to the voters.

The CVRA does not require showing that the City, the voters, or the elected officials intended to discriminate against a protected class. Similarly, the fact that members of a protected class are not geographically concentrated does not preclude a finding of racially polarized voting. Instead, a violation of the CVRA may be established by showing that both racially polarized voting and dilution occur in elections for members of the governing body. Dilution can be shown where the protected class can show that the at-large election prevents them from electing, either on their own or with the support of crossover voters, their preferred candidate.

The City of Healdsburg currently elects its Councilmembers at-large. On October 3, 2024, the City received a letter from a potential plaintiffs’ attorney, Shenkman & Hughes PC, alleging a violation of the CVRA and threatening litigation unless the City voluntarily transitions to a district-based election system for electing Councilmembers. The letter is attached as Exhibit A.

On November 18, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring the intent to transition to District-Based elections. Since Council adopted the resolution of intent a prospective plaintiff may not commence an action within ninety (90) days of the resolution of intention’s passage.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

As a part of the transition process, State law required the City hold the first two public hearings over a period of no more than 30 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the composition of the districts. No official maps could be be drawn before the completion of these two public meetings. Once the initial two meetings were completed, the demographer and public were able to officially draw maps that were considered in the districting process. State law required the City to then hold at least two additional hearings over a subsequent period of no

7.A
Packet Pg. 199
more than 45 days, at which the public was invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections. Once a map is selected, State law requires the City to publish the map at least seven days before consideration at a hearing for introduction of an ordinance to adopt the district map.

Staff prepared a timeline that identifies the planned schedule for the required public hearings and public outreach and complies with Elections Code 10010. City Staff met with the potential plaintiff’s attorney regarding an extension of an additional sixty days beyond the ninety-day statute. Elections Code section 10010 provides that a city may enter into a written agreement to extend the 90-day period in order to provide additional time to conduct public outreach, encourage public participation, and receive public input. With the extension, Staff anticipates completing the transition to district elections by April 2025.

Transition to District Based Elections: First and Second Public Hearings The City conducted the initial two public hearings on December 16, 2024 and January 6, 2025.

At the first and second public hearings, the Council received a report from the City’s demographer, Redistricting Partners, about the basics of the districting process and identifying communities of interest. The video and presentation from the first and second meeting can be found on the City’s dedicated redistricting webpage which can be found here:
https://healdsburg.gov/1152/Transition-to-District-Elections.

The Fair Maps Act defines a “community of interest” as a population that shares common social or economic interests that should be included within a single election district for purposes of its effective and fair representation. Characteristics of communities of interest may include, but are not limited to, shared public policy concerns such as education, public safety, public health, environment, housing, transportation, and access to social services. Characteristics of communities of interest may also include, but are not limited to, cultural districts, shared socioeconomic characteristics, similar voter registration rates and participation rates, and shared histories. Communities of interest do not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.

The City has received eight submissions of the Community of Interest forms which were posted on the City’s website. The responses from those eight submissions are summarized as follows:
• Fitch Mountain
• Senior Communities and Homeowners Associations
• Parkland Farms Neighborhood
• Growth and Tourism
• Drought
• Grove Street and Downtown
• Park Development in the North part of town
• SMART Station development
There were no new community of interest forms submitted after the third Public Hearing.

Community Interest forms received are attached for reference and can be found on the City website. The City Council also discussed renters as being a community of interest.

Packet Pg. 200
Transition to District Based Elections: Third and Fourth and Fifth Public Hearings Upon completion of the first and second public hearings, the City was required to hold at least two additional hearings over a period of no more than 45 days, at which the public was invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections. A fifth public hearing is then required to adopt the selected map.

The City will need to comply with the Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions (FAIR MAPS) Act in adopting the districts, which provides criteria that the City must utilize when establishing election district boundaries or when undertaking the redistricting process (which must occur every ten years after each population census). The criteria is summarized below:
a. The election districts must be substantially equal in population based on the most recent census.
b. The districting body shall adopt election district boundaries that comply with the United States Constitution, the California Constitution, and the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 (52 U.S.C. Sec. 10301 et seq.) and consistent with the federal Voting Rights Act, the districting body shall determine whether it is possible to create an election district or districts in which a minority group is sufficiently large and geographically compact to constitute a majority in a single-member district, as set forth in Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U.S. 30 (1986).
c. The districting body shall adopt election district boundaries using the following criteria as set forth in the following order of priority:

1. To the maximum extent practicable, election districts shall be geographically contiguous. Areas that meet only at the points of adjoining corners are not contiguous. Areas that are separated by water and not connected by a bridge, tunnel, or regular ferry service are not contiguous.

2. To the maximum extent practicable, and where it does not conflict with the preceding criterion, the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division.

3. To the maximum extent practicable, and where it does not conflict with the preceding criteria, election districts shall be bounded by natural and artificial barriers, by streets, or by the boundaries of the local jurisdiction. Election district boundaries should be easily identifiable and understandable by residents.

4. To the maximum extent practicable, and where it does not conflict with the preceding criteria, election districts shall be drawn to encourage geographical compactness in a manner that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant populations.
d. The districting body shall not adopt election district boundaries for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against an incumbent, political candidate, or political party.

Within 21 days of adopting final election district boundaries, the City Council will be required to issue a report that explains the basis on which it made its decisions in achieving compliance with the requirements and criteria of the Fair Maps Act, including, as to each neighborhood,

7.A
Packet Pg. 201
community of interest, city, or census designated place that was split into two or more districts, the reason for that split.

The City held the third public hearing on February 18th at which both the public and the City Council provided feedback on the draft maps. Members of the public had the opportunity to submit maps with four, five or six districts over the course of the last ten weeks.

At the fourth public hearing on March 17, 2025, the community and the City Council considered the draft maps moved forward from the third public hearing, as well as the community-submitted maps. A majority of the Council expressed a preference for Draft Map A as the foundation for an ordinance. All of the maps are available on the City’s website:
https://healdsburg.gov/1152/Transition-to-District-Elections. The maps that have been submitted by members of the public through the City’s “Districtr” mapping tool are identified by a numerical identification number (e.g., ID 277459),” and the maps that have been prepared by Redistricting Partners are identified by a letter (e.g., Draft Map A).

Redistricting Partners has prepared a FAIR MAPS Act Assessment (“Assessment”) of the maps submitted by members of the public. This Assessment analyzed all of the ranked list of criteria pursuant to the FAIR MAPS Act in the order required (i.e., population size deviation is under 10%, contiguous, maintains “communities of interest”, easily identifiable and understandable lines, compact, etc.). However, as indicated in the Assessment, Redistricting Partners can assess all criteria objectively except for “maintaining communities of interest”. That particular criterion is subjective by definition and should be discussed by the City Council and public at this meeting to determine how well the draft maps fulfil this criterion.

A summary of Draft Map A moved forward at the March 17th public hearing is provided below:
• Draft A is based on renters which was identified as a community of interest, while ensuring the Latino Citizen Voting Age Population is maximized in District 3, which is comprised of the western part of town and part of the March Avenue corridor. • Total Population Deviation (difference between the largest and smallest districts): 8.1% • Creates compact north and south districts
• Western district keeps together like communities of interest:
o Renters
o Age
o Income levels
o Maximizes Latino CVAP
Between the fourth and fifth public hearing, the City received and published one additional map submitted by a member of the community.

At this fifth public hearing, the public may provide input regarding the published maps for consideration.

Proposed Ordinance

7.A
Packet Pg. 202
If the Council elects to finalize the selection of a map at April 7th meeting, does not make any further revisions to the selected map, or select a new map entirely, the City Council can then proceed with selecting the two district seats that will be up for election in 2026 and the three district seats that will be up for election in 2028. Once the map and the sequencing are selected, the Council can proceed with the introduction of the proposed Ordinance.

The proposed Ordinance would amend Article 1 (General Provisions) within Chapter 2.40 (Elections) of Title 2 (Administration and Personnel) to add a new section 2.40.010.01 “District Elections” within the Municipal Code. The proposed Ordinance would provide for the election of Councilmembers by establishing five districts and identify the district boundaries by including the map selected by the Council in the ordinance. The proposed Ordinance would also specify that the commencement of the district elections shall be in the next general municipal election in 2026 and provide for two seats being elected in 2026 and three seats in 2028 to ensure all incoming and currently seated Councilmembers’ do not have shortened terms. Finally, the Proposed Ordinance authorizes Redistricting Partners to make non-substantive, technical adjustments to the map as necessary to prepare a GIS shapefile, which will be submitted to the County of Sonoma by the City Clerk.

If the proposed Ordinance is introduced at this meeting, the second reading and adoption can take place at the meeting on May 5, 2025. If the Council does not finalize their selection of a map or requests further revisions to Draft Map A at the April 7, 2025 meeting, then the Council will need to hold an additional public hearing on April 21, 2025 to continue consideration of the draft maps. Draft maps to be considered at the April 21, 2025 meeting would be published on April 14, 2025 to meet the 7-day publishing deadline.

Sequence of Elections
The initial proposed sequencing for draft maps is even-numbered districts in 2026 and odd districts in 2028. To align the election cycles staff is proposing to renumber the districts. (Attached as Draft A Staff Recommended Sequencing) Under the proposed renumbering, Districts 2 and 4 would still transition to District Elections in 2026 and 1, 3 and 5 in 2028. It should be noted that Districts 1 and 4 could be reversed if Council so desires.

Request for Direction and Next Steps
At the April 7, 2025 public hearing, Council will be considering Draft Map A, the introduction of an ordinance, the sequence of elections as well as any community-submitted maps that the City Council wishes to review.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to move adopting Draft Map A. If this alternative is selected, staff requests further direction in terms of additional analysis requested or an alternative map to include in an ordinance for consideration at a future public hearing (most likely on April 21).

7.A
Packet Pg. 203
Although the City is facing a time constraint to complete this process under the CVRA “safe harbor” provisions, staff does not believe that adoption of an ordinance on April 21 would be problematic. If additional time is needed beyond that date, staff would need to request an additional extension from the potential plaintiff’s attorney.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is a fiscal impact due to the costs associated with the transition to District-based elections.

Costs include the demographer, which are estimated to be less than $50,000, legal costs, and payment of the plaintiffs’ attorney costs of $30,000. The City Council appropriated a total of $100,000 for this effort at a prior meeting
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This item does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq.) (CEQA) as the adoption of the resolution does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378).

Public Maps: FAIR MAPS Act Assessment
The following map was submitted by March 31, 2025 and can be considered during the April 7 public hearing Under the FAIR MAPS Act, the City of Healdsburg is required to follow a ranked list of criteria in their districting process:
• Relatively equal in population size – total deviation is under 10% • Contiguous
• Maintains “communities of interest”
• Easily identifiable and understandable lines, following city, natural, and man-made boundaries
• Compact
As demographers, we can assess all criteria objectively except for “maintaining communities of interest.” This particular criterion is subjective by definition and should be discussed by the public and the City Council to determine how well these maps fulfil this criterion.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

HEALDSBURG AMENDING HEALDSBURG MUNICIPAL
CODE ARTICLE 1 (GENERAL PROVISIONS) WITHIN

(ADMINISTRATION AND PERSONNEL) TO ADD SECTION

2.40.010.01 “DISTRICT ELECTIONS” TO PROVIDE FOR THE

ELECTION OF MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL BY FIVE
DISTRICTS; ESTABLISH THE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES; AND

ELECTION ORDER OF EACH DISTRICT
WHEREAS, members of the City Council are currently elected in “at-large” elections, in which each City Councilmember is elected by the registered voters of the entire City; and WHEREAS, California Government Code section 34886, in certain circumstances, authorizes the legislative body of a city of any population to adopt an ordinance to change its method of election from an “at-large” system to a “district-based” system in which each councilmember is elected only by the voters in the district in which the candidate resides; and WHEREAS, on October 3, 2024, the City of Healdsburg (“City”) received a certified letter from a potential plaintiffs’ attorney, alleging a violation of the California Voting Rights Act (the “CVRA”) and threatening litigation if the City declines to voluntarily change to a district-based election system for electing Councilmembers; and
WHEREAS, while the City Council denies that the City’s at large election system violates the CVRA or any other provision of law, the City Council determined that the public interest is better served by initiating a process for transition to a district-based election system and thereby avoiding the high costs associated with defending a lawsuit under the CVRA; and WHEREAS, California Government Code section 34886 permits the City Council of any city to change the City’s method of election by ordinance to a “by-district” system in which each member of the City Council is elected only by the voters in the district in which the candidate resides; and
WHEREAS, Elections Code Section 10010 provides a method whereby a jurisdiction can expeditiously transition to a district-based election system and thereby avoid the high cost of litigation under the CVRA if the jurisdiction complied with the “safe harbor” provisions of Elections Code Section 10010; and
WHEREAS, under the provisions of California Elections Code section 10010(a)(1), a city that changes from an at-large city council method of election to a by-district city council method of election is required to hold at least two public hearings over a period of not more than 30 days,

at which the public is invited to provide input regarding communities of interest that would help to define the composition of the districts; and
WHEREAS, under the provisions of California Elections Code section 10010(a)(2), a city that changes from an at-large election system to by district must, after the first and second public hearings hold at least two additional hearings over a period of no more than 45 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections. A fifth public hearing would be held to adopt the selected map; and WHEREAS, under the provisions of California Elections Code section 10010(e)(3)(C), a city may enter into an agreement with a prospective plaintiff to extend the time periods to transition; and
WHEREAS, at a regular meeting held on November 18, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 134-2024 to begin the process of transitioning to a district-based election system and adopting the timeline for public hearings to conform to the requirements of California Elections Code section 10010; and
WHEREAS, the City did enter into a written agreement to extend the time period by which the City could transition to district based elections by an additional sixty days; and WHEREAS, at regular meetings held on December 16, 2024 and January 6, 2025, pursuant to California Elections Code section 10010(a)(1), the City Council held public hearings where the public was invited to provide input regarding the number and composition of the City’s voting districts and election sequencing, before any draft maps were drawn, and the City Council considered public input and discussed the same at those meetings; and WHEREAS, thereafter, at regular meetings on February 18, 2025 and March 17, 2025, pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10010(a)(2), the City Council held public hearings where the public was invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft maps that had been released at least seven (7) days before each meeting, and the proposed sequence of elections, and the City Council received, considered and discussed the same; and WHEREAS, at the regular meeting on April 7, 2025, at the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council formally selected the voting districts identified in “DRAFT MAP A”, attached to and incorporated herein as Exhibit A to this Ordinance (referred to hereafter as “Map A”), and an election sequence described herein, and introduced this Ordinance for a first reading at that time with a second reading and adoption scheduled to take place on April 21, 2025, and WHEREAS, throughout the foregoing process, the City engaged in a significant amount of public outreach and engagement above and beyond the public procedures required by California Elections Code Section 10010 and those portions of the Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions (Fair Maps) Act applicable to cities that are transitioning for the first time to district-based elections systems; and

4911-2648-5292 v2
WHEREAS, such outreach included but is not limited to, maintaining a City website dedicated to the process of transitioning from at-large elections to by district elections, regularly notifying residents of meetings and other engagements on the City’s social media channels, posting and publishing notices about the public; distribution of informational pamphlets at each City facility in English and Spanish as well as an insert that was included in the December utility bills; and
WHEREAS, the City held a community meeting on January 16, 2025 at the Community Center, met with the senior community on January 24, 2025 at the Senior Center and the City Manager held a meeting with the Spanish-speaking community on January 28, 2025 to gather feedback on the process; and
WHEREAS, the City has partnered with Corazón Healdsburg to assist with the outreach to the Spanish-speaking community conducting public hearings and community meetings with live interpretation services; and
WHEREAS, in selecting the map, the City Council considered the criteria set forth in Elections Code Section 21130 of the Fair Maps Act and is adopting district boundaries in accordance with the provisions stated therein, as well as the federal Voting Rights Act and the California Voting Rights Act; and
WHEREAS, Map A meets all the requirements of state and federal law and was posted on November 8, 2024 on the City’s website for public consideration at least seven (7) days before the introduction of this Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this Ordinance is to enact, pursuant to California Government Code section 34886, an ordinance providing for the election of members of the City Council of the City of Healdsburg by district in five single-member districts as reflected in Exhibit A to this Ordinance and to implement the guarantees of the California Constitution.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: April 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Parklet Program Review
PREPARED BY: Larry Zimmer, Public Works Director
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Provide Resident-Driven Community Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Receive presentation and provide general direction on possible modifications to the Ongoing Parklet Program.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Parklet owners were directly noticed of this public meeting. The Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce forwarded the same email to their contact list. City of Healdsburg social media outlets were used to notify the public.

The creation of the parklet program included extensive engagement and outreach.

BACKGROUND:

The following is a summary of the actions the City has taken to support businesses in the downtown area in response to the restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which led to the Parklet Program:
• June 1, 2020 – City Council approved the Temporary Outdoor Activities Permit program that permitted businesses to use sidewalks, parking stalls, park space, and other right-of-way areas for outdoor commercial use.
• September 8, 2020 - City Council extended the Temporary Outdoor Activities Permit through December 31, 2021.
• November 30, 2020 – Staff released Temporary Parklet Program Design Guidelines and Standards containing information, resources, and construction requirements on parklet design, safety, ADA access, alcohol service, heating, lighting, etc.

9.A
Packet Pg. 281
• April 5, 2021 - City Council approved the Temporary Parklet Program extension that permits businesses to use sidewalks, parking stalls, park space, and other right-of-way areas for outdoor commercial use until January 17, 2023, under revised guidelines and design standards. City Council also directed staff to work on developing guidelines and policies for an “ongoing” parklet program that would continue beyond the COVID-19 pandemic for City Council consideration.
• February 7, 2022 – To assist in business recovery following the pandemic, the City Council approved ongoing parklet program including establishing a permit fee, parklet activation criteria, and the number of parking stalls that may be utilized for the program. The Council resolved to review the program in 2025 for possible modifications or termination.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The current iteration of the Parklet Program has been in operation since January 2023. At the present time, the following parklets are operating in Healdsburg:
7 Restaurant
7 Wine Tasting
1 Gallery/Wine Tasting
1 Retail
The total number if current parklets is 16. They take up 40 public parking spaces, which equates to approximately 3% of the total downtown parking inventory, although members of the public have noted that the parklets often occupy the most convenient spaces to retail locations.

Following is staff’s analysis of the current program to begin discussions with the City Council, parklet owners, other business owners, and residents about possible modification to, or ending of, the Parklet Program.

In many respects, Healdsburg’s parklet program was a resounding success as a business assistance program during the pandemic, creating critical revenue opportunities for local businesses that were impacted by public safety restrictions. Subsequent to the pandemic restrictions, parklets have served more of a placemaking function, creating opportunities for outdoor dining or gathering and bringing increased activity to the public realm throughout the downtown area. These benefits need to be weighed against the obvious loss of public parking and some of the administrative challenges outlined below.

Because parklets were created out of necessity during the restrictions of the pandemic, staff had to move quickly to allow businesses to operate. Long term impacts and procedural issues were not given full consideration at inception of the program. To improve safety, process, and aesthetics, staff created guidelines, fees, and standards. While these changes were a drastic improvement of the initial program, there are inherent conflicts with the parklet program and City standards and codes. There are also process and procedural issues that should be addressed.

The following is a summary of concerns:

1. Code Compliance Concerns: Fire, Building, and Planning Codes simply do not consider

9.A
Packet Pg. 282
private on-street businesses in the public right of way. Existing codes do not directly address parklet structures. This gap requires piecemealing various codes to ensure a baseline level of safety. This ad hoc approach leaves ambiguity and potential risk, especially concerning temporary power and heating installations. Parklets are also inconsistent with standards for spacing between buildings, which are set to limit the spread of fire. Building Code requires structures to have a foundation which is not possible on the street surface.

2. Impact on City Infrastructure and Construction Projects: Parklet placements have potential to disrupt construction and maintenance. As an example, the recent installation of a fire sprinkler system required a parklet removal by an adjacent business, thus increasing costs and delays. In another case, developer-driven frontage improvements were reduced due to an existing parklet. Future emergencies, such as sewer overflows or water line breaks, may necessitate rapid parklet removal, potentially damaging the privately owned parklet. It's unclear how private utilities will handle such conflicts.

3. Unsupervised Construction, Maintenance, and Disassembly: The program was created to make it easy and cost effective for owners to construct a new parklet. The Parklet Permit was in place of a standard encroachment permit, which is used in all other circumstances when work occurs in the public right of way. This resulted in non-licensed workers constructing and deconstructing parklets, often without City inspection or proper traffic control immediately adjacent to live traffic.

4. Vehicle Impact Hazards: Parklets are not designed to stop or deflect a motor vehicle.

There have been multiple incidents in neighboring cities, including a tragic event in San Francisco where a vehicle collided with a parklet, that resulted in serious injuries. While Healdsburg has fortunately not experienced severe injuries in such incidents, we have had instances of vehicle impacts on parklets. This concern is even greater on narrower roadways. Placing moveable concrete railing is an option to protect parklet users, but it would greatly reduce the usable area for the parklet and increase parking spaces need to create a safe taper.

5. Emergency Response and Firefighting Challenges: Parklets present obstacles to emergency response operations, limiting access to buildings, complicating firefighting strategies, and potentially increasing response times.

6. Drainage and Flooding Concerns: Parklet placement slows or blocks stormwater flow, leading to pooling and increased risk of building flooding. This issue impacts public safety and burdens public works and emergency management resources.

7. Lack of codified late fee and removal procedures: The majority of parklet owners pay their fees on time and are responsive to City requests. Unfortunately, some owners require multiple requests including in person visits before they pay their fees. Staff have had parklet owners refuse to follow the guidelines regarding maintenance of the parklet, cleaning surrounding area, and dealing with pests and flooding issues. There is no mechanism forcing owners to notify the City when they are leaving a rental space,

9.A
Packet Pg. 283
modifying the parklet, or removing the parklet. Several parklets have been abandoned and left derelict for an extended period.

At this time, staff is seeking general feedback from the City Council on the future of the parklet program. Given the sizable investments that many businesses have made in their parklets, the City is initiating this discussion now to allow ample time for planning, should the City elect to make significant changes to the program before the expiration of the current program in January 2026. The City Council may opt to let the program expire at that time. Alternatively, the City Council may opt to amend the program by limiting the types of businesses that can have parklets or restricting the possibility of new (or transferred) parklets, which would have the effect of reducing the program through attrition over time.

If the Parklet Program is to continue, staff have the following suggested revisions to the administration of program to address some of the existing concerns:

1. Require an Encroachment Permit for construction and deconstruction of the parklet and any maintenance requiring activity in the vehicular travel lanes.

2. Establish a late fee for failure to pay fees or provide proof of insurance.

3. Require a deposit adequate to pay for removal of the parklet or repair damage.

4. Require any parklet owner that is moving or closing to remove their parklet rather than transfer it to the business moving into the vacated space.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Parklets may encourage pedestrian use of the downtown area, which is likely to reduce the use of fossil fuels.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Council could decide to terminate the program as soon as January 2026, or upon any future date, with or without allowing exiting parklets to remain.

2. Continue an ongoing parklet program with or without revisions.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The current fee structure consists of two separate fees, both of which are increased annually based on the consumer price index. As of January 2025, the administrative fee is $216.32 per month and the rental fee is $1.62 per square foot per month for the private use of the public right of way occupied by the parklet.

From program inception in 2022, the City has collected $119,560 in administrative fees and $318,245 in rent fees. Both fees are deposited directly into the General Fund. The administrative fee offsets the cost of public works, fire, building and planning staff time required to support the program. Based on available data staff believe that the administrative fee does not exceed the cost to administer the program. The rent fees were established based on a conservative review of fair market rents to limit the financial burden on participants while appropriately accounting for

Packet Pg. 284
the transition of City land from public use to private use. While the rent fees are not restricted for a specific use, the City maintains its commitment to investing in improving parking for the downtown area and supporting alternative transportation. Most significantly, the City is currently working to amass sufficient funding for the repaving and rehabilitation of the West Plaza parking lot at some point in the future.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The parklet program is not a “project” pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the commonsense exemption set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. The program is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to the existing facilities exemption set forth in Section 15301(c)(15), which provides a separate and independent basis for finding that the project is exempt.

Thanks for asking. As a local business-owner and resident of Healdsburg, here are my thoughts:

If the parklet is used daily or at least several times a week, they should be allowed to continue throughout the year. Restaurants and HRC fall in this category.

Seasonal usage (such as some tasting rooms have), I don’t like. They’re sitting empty and taking up parking.

I think fees should be set at a reasonable level. I don’t know what that level is, but the businesses who use their parklets could tell you what they could afford based on the income they receive from the use of the parklet. Whatever costs there are within the city budget, just cover those. Don’t use it as a way to collect funds for other budget lines.

9.A.a
Packet Pg. 302 Attachment: Parklets Correspondence (4796 : Parklet Program Review) Dear City Council Members,
A business on the corner of Healdsburg Ave. and West Matheson has definitely pushed the definition and intention of what a parklet should be. It has seating for 50 people, which is even more than the seating inside! That is excessive and is taking advantage of the City and its residents.

Do you remember when it was a very simple, small cafe with seating for about 16? This business owner is pushing it as far as possible and probably assumes that the City will not confront them about the fact that when there are diners, there is not four feet clearance for walkers.

Here is an ideal example of arrogance.

The taxpayers and residents of Healdsburg have subsidized this business far too much.

Valerie White
p.s. Would it be possible for public works let me know the specifics of its monthly rental fee? (How many sq. feet? How much per month? How much per year?)

9.A.a
Packet Pg. 306 Attachment: Parklets Correspondence (4796 : Parklet Program Review) Dear City Council Members,
Here are some of my thoughts concerning the current parklet program.

1. Covid is over and all parklets should be removed.

2. There are 16 parklets in town which take up 48 parking spaces. That is not a small number.

3. The City has established a precedent for private entities to use public property. This should not happen.

4.The ordinance that was established is much too permissive.

Any type of business can construct one.

It can be as large as possible if neighboring businesses ok it.

There is not minimum number of days required for it to be open. (They should have to be open 7 days a week.)
There is no minimum number of hours it should be open.
(Hours of use should be at least 8 hours a day.)

5. Many parklets are underutilized.

Many businesses have more than enough seating inside and still have a parklet that is empty most of the time.

6. The City has an opportunity to gain revenue from them, but instead charges only a minimal fee.

Commercial rents downtown are $4 - 6 per sq. foot. Parklets cost $1.63 a sq. ft. plus a yearly fee of $2600.

The City should raise the rents to the equivalent of a commercial space.

7. Some restaurants have also added chair seating outside which further encroaches on public property. At this point in time the public has to navigate around tables, chairs, umbrellas, and servers delivering meals.

8. Many parklet owners did not follow the rules of the ordinance. They put part of their parklet on city bulbouts. Some did not construct floors. Patrons had to step off the sidewalk into the street area. Some had very unsafe barriers between the street and the seating area.

9.I assume there is an added layer of managing a parklet program, communicating with applicants through a permit application, review, approval, and inspection process.

How much staff time is required?

10. You will be getting much push back from the business community which is very powerfu in this City.

There are many assertive business owners that will make it miserable for you. I hope you have the courage to make changes or completely eliminate the program.

Sincerely,
Valerie White

You asked for input regarding the parklets. As a downtown professional, I think they should be removed for the following reasons:

1. The served their purpose during the pandemic and are no longer necessary. How does a shoe company get a parklet when they don't service food?

2. Most of them are ugly and an eyesore on the downtown appeal. The only one that looks decent is Valette's.

3. They take up much needed parking spaces.

4. The are not used much anymore as tourism in town has declined. I have not seen them packed with customers.

5. It is kind of unfair to the other restaurants and merchants when the parklet people get discounted space when others are paying full rent.

Please consider having them removed to clean up the town and have more space available for traffic and parking. Or, at least have some kind design requirements so they don't look so bad.

Please acknowledge receipt of this e-mail.

In my opinion the parking spaces are more important then the park-lets.

Park-lets were a way for business's to stay open during COVID.

COVID is no longer a concern and Healdsburg needs the parking spaces. There is a huge shortage of parking in the downtown area.

Lack of parking equals less money spent in Healdsburg.

With no public parking lots large enough to accommodate a large crowd of visitors, every parking spot is important to preserve.

Are the restaurants that have the park-lets full of customer's when they are open? No, they are just wasting space for parking.

I feel that if they were parking spaces again it would benefit all of Healdsburg and not just the few that have them as Park-lets.

Joy

Hello,
I have a few suggestions about the parklets and a few opinions.

The parklets have always been a problem for our town. They take up much-needed parking spaces and half of them are very ugly, poorly designed and poorly built.

Stores that do not require seating should not be permitted to have a parklet.

Parklets clutter up the beauty of downtown Healdsburg.

If the parklets are to stay, the rental income should go directly to a parking garage fund for downtown Healdsburg.

Thanks for your time,
Sylvia Hurst

Hello,
I would like to share my feedback about the Parklet program — As a resident of the downtown area and city of Healdsburg business license holder, I would like to request they STAY.

The parklets add to the vibrancy and energy of the downtown area. We love strolling past restaurants with full tables and hearing the energy of people dining and enjoying what Healdsburg is known for — FOOD. So many times on a Tuesday evening, we try to get into a restaurant and can’t get in. These restaurants need more tables! Additionally, as a restaurant owner for 14 years in Petaluma, I understand how important it is to have those additional tables for revenue in this very difficult time of increasing labor and food costs. To take the parklets away from restaurants now would be devastating for them.

I know the argument against the structures will be relating to a lack of parking, however, I have been able to see how the parking is impacted directly on a day to day basis because of the spill over of cars onto East St in front of my home — and I have to tell you, it’s really not all that bad! It may be difficult to find a parking space during major events downtown, but that would happen anyway with or without the parklets. The parking issue is not nearly as troubling as it would be to lose some of these restaurants in our town.

Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,
Jory Bergman Killian

I apologize for not being at the meeting in person where you are discussing the parklets. I will be out of the US during the time when you'll be discussing the parklet issue. But I'd still like to provide some input.

To be quick - I'd like to indicate that I'd like to see the parklets dismantled. I was in complete support during the difficult times of COVID but I think their utility has passed. I say this because most of the parklets just aren't that attractive or up to the standards that I think a town of our reputation deserves. Some of the parklets look like simple wooden platforms with a Home Depot shade tent or some such.

There are a few where obviously the business owner has really tried to upgrade the look and feel of the parklet and I appreciate that. But I think we need to go back to where we don't have parklets. It is time to restore our parking spaces and go back to the way things were now that COVID has passed.

Thanks for your consideration.

This item will be heard at a public meeting where time is set aside for public comment and participation. City staff and Reach for Home will continue to keep open communication with the neighbors of the project and the community at large with quarterly updates and as information is requested or needed. The most recent quarterly report was presented to the City Council on December 16, 2024.

BACKGROUND:

On October 26, 2021, the County of Sonoma approved $950,000 in Capital Match funding and $3,388,660 in operating subsidy for the L&M Village, as part of the Project Homekey Round-2 funding.

On December 21, 2021, the City, Reach for Home, and Burbank Housing were awarded a total of $7,048,800 in Project Homekey funding by the State of California, consisting of $5,720,000 in capital funding and $1,328,800 in operating subsidy.

Funding and Service Agreement with Reach for Home and for the use and operation of the L&M Village project, consisting of the Terms of Service and an Annual Budget for the Project.

On October 30, 2024, the County of Sonoma executed an agreement with the City of Healdsburg to provide operational funding for the L&M Village, in the amount of $101 per unit (22 units) per day or the not to exceed amount of $644,160.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The purpose of this report is to provide the City Council and the public with a quarterly update on the L&M Village Program’s operational status, program outcomes, trends, and financial status.

As of the last quarterly update on December 16, 2024, the L&M Village Program has shown notable progress in addressing homelessness within our community. This success is largely due to the efforts of the L&M Village case managers, who have facilitated participants’ transition into permanent housing by assisting with property viewing and aiding with housing applications.

The following are some highlights from the L&M Village since the program’s inception and for the most recent quarter, covering the period from December 7, 2024, through March 26, 2025:
• Number of Participants Served: A total of 93 participants were enrolled in the program reflecting ongoing engagement and utilization of services. • Successful Exits to Housing: 44 participants have successfully transitioned into housing, marking a significant step towards stability.
• Housing Voucher Applications: 26 participants applied for and received housing vouchers through to August 26, 2024. However, no new housing voucher opportunities have been available hereafter.
• Health and Wellness: A total of 86 participants accessed mental health services, and 22- 25 individuals are currently engaged in regular sessions. Reach for Home staff are working on making the transition easier when exiting the program to outside mental health providers. They are also working on expanding to include psychological services. • Income Progress: 50 out of the 93 participants increased their income. 91 out of 93 increased their income through subsidies and assistance. • Activity Engagement: Nearly 80% of all participants are engaged in at least 2 activities per week, and nearly 90% are engaged in weekly case management.

ALTERNATIVES:

This item is intended to serve as an update on the L&M Village, therefore no action is required.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Since its inception in 2022, the L&M Village has received $7,048,800 in State Homekey Grant funding and $950,000 in county HHAP early Capital Match Funding. Of the Homekey funds, $6,168,000 was allocated for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the L&M Village, and $880,800 was designated for operational costs. The Homekey operational funding supported operational expenses from September 2022 through December 2023.

The City currently holds a contract with the Sonoma County Department of Health Services for operational funding to support the L&M Village. The contract will reimburse the City at the rate of $101 per unit per day, for up to $1,263,570. The current contract will expire at the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 2025. In Fiscal Year 2023-24, the County reimbursed the City for $298,720 in operational expenses incurred from January 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024. In the current Fiscal Year 2024-25, expected reimbursements for operational expenses incurred through February total $539,946. There is sufficient funding remaining in the contract to support operational expenses through the end of the fiscal year. City staff are continuing to work with the County to establish a new operational funding agreement to ensure operational costs are adequately covered beyond June 2025.

Point-in-Time
Count
2024 Point-in-Time Count (PIT)
The results from the 2024 Point-in-Time (PIT) Homeless Count, conducted on January 31, 2025, indicate the following changes:
• Homelessness in Healdsburg increased from 33 to 50 individuals. • 13 individuals were sheltered at the L&M Village.
• Homelessness in North County rose from 118 to 157 individuals. • Countywide, homelessness increased by approximately 11%.

Historical Point-in-Time Counts:
• While the increase in the 2024 PIT count is noteworthy, it’s important to view these numbers in the context of a broader trend. Despite fluctuations, the 2023 count marked a significant reduction, and the current figures remain below historic levels, indicating progress from the City's efforts and partnerships.
• Since the PIT count was conducted, significant work has been done through the Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) grant, clearing key encampments along the Russian River. As a result, we expect to see further improvements in the 2025 count.

Re: Measure H Citizen’s Oversight Committee – Letter of Interest Honorable Mayors and Councilmembers,
I am writing to express my strong interest in serving on the Measure H Oversight Committee and to seek your recommendation for this critical role. As someone who has firsthand experience with the devastation of wildfire and has dedicated years to recovery, resiliency and public safety efforts, I believe I am uniquely qualified to provide oversight and strategic guidance for Sonoma County’s fire initiatives.

In the aftermath of the 2017 Tubbs Fire, which destroyed my home and forever changed our community, I cofounded Coffey Strong, a neighborhood-led recovery group that became a model for disaster response across the country. Through this work, I gained extensive experience navigating government processes, advocating for residents, and ensuring that recovery efforts remained transparent, efficient, and community driven. I have traveled the United States sharing this experience from Colorado, Paradise & Oregon to most recently Los Angeles.

Since then, I have continued my commitment to disaster resilience and public service as a Santa Rosa City Council Member, where I serve as Chair of the Public Safety Subcommittee. In this role, I have worked closely with local, state, and federal agencies to secure resources for fire prevention, emergency preparedness, and long-term recovery. I have also been a strong advocate for expanding firefighting resources, improving evacuation planning, and ensuring that communities across Sonoma County have access to critical disaster response funding.

Additionally, I am a founding board member of the Santa Rosa Fire Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting firefighters and enhancing wildfire prevention and emergency response efforts in our region. Through this work, I have gained valuable insight into the challenges facing our fire agencies and the opportunities we have to improve public safety through strategic investment and community collaboration.

My background in both community leadership and public policy equips me with the knowledge and perspective needed to serve effectively on the Measure H Oversight Committee. I understand the importance of responsible fiscal management, clear communication with the public, and ensuring that the investments made through Measure H truly enhance the safety and resilience of our communities.

I would be honored to contribute my experience and leadership to this important committee. I respectfully ask for your recommendation and support as I seek this appointment, and I welcome any opportunity to discuss how we can work together to strengthen Sonoma County’s disaster preparedness and response efforts.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

RE: Appointment to the Measure H Oversight Committee
Dear Honorable Mayors and Councilmembers:

I am writing to express my interest and request your support for my appointment to one of the two Measure H Oversight Committee seats appointed by the Sonoma County Mayors & Councilmembers Association.

Measure H has given us an opportunity to make transformational investments in fire prevention and protection. I believe my skills and experience align well with the goals of the Measure H Oversight Committee.

Serving on the Healdsburg City Council for the last six years, a city with its own independent Fire Department, I have developed a keen understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing our first responders. I have learned first-hand, through the numerous fires that have affected Healdsburg in the last several years, the toll fires take on a community. My dedication to public service employees and my ability to work collaboratively with diverse teams make me confident I can bring an energetic perspective to the Committee. My goal would be to work in partnership with Sonoma County’s cities and fire districts to ensure they are empowered to develop local and regional strategies to best meet the goals of Measure H and, ultimately, to best enhance the safety of our communities.

As a Finance/Accounting Professional, with over twenty years of experience in finance, I bring a deep understanding and knowledge of what it means to provide transparency and ensure fiscal accountability. These skills will be invaluable when reviewing the receipts and expenditures and the annual reports from each Agency’s use of Measure H.

Attn: Kyreen Gonzalez, [email protected] Dear Board Members:

I respectfully request your supportfor my appointmentto theMeasure H Oversight Committee.

Asa Councilmemberand pastMayor, Ihave had the opportunity towork closely with theSonoma Valley Fire District and ChiefAkre. Sonoma is unique in thatwe contract with the district rather than having a city-run fire department. As we allknow, Sonoma Valley is home to some ofthe most fire-prone areas, as identifiedin the recentCal Fire report. Ensuring strong fireprevention and emergency services remain the top concern of our residents.

For the past two years, I have also had the privilege of serving on the LAFCO Board, where I have been involved in discussions on multiple fire district consolidations. This experience has given me a deep understanding of fire district needs throughoutthe county. Additionally, atthe state level, I have worked alongsidethe California Professional Firefighters on key statewide ballot measures to increase funding forfire districts.

I am confidentthat myexperience atthe local,county, and state levels will allowme to contribute valuable leadership to the Oversight Committee, strengthening our collective efforts to keep Sonoma safe, prepared, and well-funded.

I would sincerely appreciate your support in endorsing mycandidacy. Please feel freeto reach outif you have any questions orwould like to discuss myqualifications further. I can be reached at (707)337-3796 or viaemail at [email protected].

Thankyou foryour time and consideration.I look forward toyour support.

Re: Request for Appointment to the Measure H Oversight Committee Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
I seek your support for my appointment by the Mayor and Councilmembers of Sonoma County to the Measure H Oversight Commission. It would be my honor to serve and represent our nine cities and our citizens on this oversight committee that has responsibility to review annual audits. These annual reports will include positions, equipment, and facilities funded, including activities related to fire prevention ensuring compliance with requirements of the Measure H sales tax.

I have been an elected councilmember in the City of Sebastopol since 2016. During that time my expertise in budgeting includes having served on my city’s annual in-depth budgeting process for 5+ years. I also have served on various sub-committees related to our fire department over the past eight years as we discussed moving from a city department to joining the neighboring fire district of Gold Ridge Fire Protection District.

Through this process, I have grown in my knowledge related to fire departments and believe this uniquely qualifies me as the right fit for one of the two appointments representing Sonoma County cities on this new oversight position.

I will come to this appointment position with experience in both city managed fire departments as well as a deep understanding of fire districts. The nine Sonoma County cities are almost equally split between the two types of structuring. Currently, the cities of Healdsburg, Petaluma, Rohnert Park and Santa Rosa have municipal fire departments, and the cities of Cloverdale, Cotati, Sonoma and Windsor are part of various fire districts. I currently sit on the Sebastopol Fire Sub-Committee and have spent hours in committee working on Sebastopol’s plan to go from a municipal fire department run by City of Sebastopol to becoming part of the Gold Ridge Fire District. Sebastopol is going through the LAFCO process currently hoping to finalize the re-organization process with Gold Ridge Fire District by July 1, 2025.

Measure H funding is so important to our community and effort to increase fire services. Estimated at 62 million each year, annual reporting and oversight of these new dollars is a promise to the community and ourselves. With the past fires we have faced in recent years locally, not to mention throughout the State of California., additional dollars help us fund needed expansion of services due to changing climate conditions. The tax measure revenue with oversight assures funds to vital fire protection services and additional personnel and building upgrades help our community have the funds needed to provide vital fire services.

It would be my honor to have your support for appointment to the Measure H Oversight Committee, and I respectfully ask for your vote.

Sincerely,

Jill McLewis <[email protected]> Fri, Mar 14, 2025 at 10:54 PM To: Lauren Berges <[email protected]>, Mary Gourley <[email protected]> Honorable Mayors, Vice Mayors, and Councilmembers:

I’m writing to express my interest in serving on the Measure H Oversight Committee. Working on this committee would be an extension of the work I’ve been doing as a member of the Sebastopol/Gold Ridge ad hoc committee which has been considering and now working toward consolidation after a number of years. This work has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of finances, staffing, equipment, and facility needs of fire departments. I am well-versed in the budgeting process and understand the complexities involved in managing fire districts. Additionally, my familiarity with levels of call service, the safety our community deserves, and the impact of these factors on consumer insurance rates equips me with a comprehensive perspective on the operational and financial challenges facing our fire services.

Moreover, I’ve gained significant experience with the consolidation and LAFCO process.

This experience has really given me a clear understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with merging resources and improving service delivery. I believe this background uniquely positions me to provide valuable oversight and guidance as part of the Measure H Oversight Committee.

I am committed to ensuring that Measure H funds are used effectively and transparently to strengthen our fire services and enhance public safety. It would be an honor to serve and contribute my experience and insights on the committee.

Thank you for considering my application.

Dear Honorable Mayors and Council Members,
I am submitting this letter to you to advance my candidacy for reappointment to the above position by the Mayors' and Councilmembers' Association Board of Directors.

I have enjoyed representing Sonoma County on the NB Division LOCC Executive Board since 2010. It was my pleasure to represent Sonoma County as President of the NB Division LOCC Executive Board for 2022. During my tenure, as President, I began monthly coffee chats to allow Division members more opportunities to connect and share ideas about subjects impacting our communities. I strive to ensure that the programs are appropriate and timely for our cities. I have been active in the planning for the programs, participated in League events and shared information on League work that impacts our cities.

I continue to support the needs and concerns of our communities in meetings with our legislators. It has also been my honor to represent the NB Division on multiple Policy Committee's which help provide input to various bills that move through the legislation.

I respectfully ask for your support of my request for reappointment.

I have served on the Cal Cities Revenue and Taxation Policy committee and am starting my second year on the Community Services Policy Committee. Through these policy committees, I have learned a lot and have developed connections that could elevate the work of our division.

The mission of our division states that we are to develop regional informational programs and carry out grassroots activities to support specific legislative, regulatory or ballot measure goals. Under our new Administration, it is important that our programing and grassroots efforts are relevant and serve the needs of our marginalized

Representation continues to matter. To my knowledge, I am the only elected who is a Veteran and remain one of only two queer electeds. I also come from a city that is not on the 101 corridor. Geographical diversity is an important part of diversity.

It would be an honor to serve. If anyone has questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Lauren et al,
I am interested in continuing my work with the Ag and Open Space Advisory Committee for another 2- year term.

I am currently vice chair of the committee and, if I continue, will probably be nominated for one of the three executive committee positions.

My background includes a PhD in Horticulture, MS in Pest Management, BS in Biology, and Teaching Credential for teaching science in public high schools. My PhD thesis was on groundcover management in apple tree orchards and have worked in cotton, road and transmission line vegetation management, multiple horticulture crops, sugar beets, and riparian/wetland habitats. I have also been involved with local environmental nonprofits for over 25 years including Friends of the Petaluma River and Petaluma Wetlands Alliance. I also helped found ReLeaf Petaluma and am on their board and we achieved plating our 2000th tree recently. Currently I am the chair of Maintenance and Restoration for PWA Board and actively working on improving our public Petaluma wetlands.

My work experience includes about 25 years in the pesticide industry and 17 years teaching high school science. I built a native plant nursery and permaculture outdoor classroom at Casa Grande HS while teaching there. During my 12-year tenure doing research for an international AgriChem corporation, I worked on international herbicide development with emphasis on the corn and soybean markets.

I want to advance the opportunities that AG and OS can provide. Please consider me for another 2-year term.

John

Good on you. I’m glad you’re applying. I will likely not apply for Ag & OS this cycle.

Packet Pg. 351 Attachment: Board of Directors Letters (4802 : Mayors and Councilmembers appointments 04.07.2025) Dear Selection Committee,
I am writing to express my strong interest in joining the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District Citizens Advisory Committee. As someone deeply passionate about land conservation and agricultural preservation, I would be honored to contribute to the committee’s vital work in protecting our region’s open spaces and farmlands.

Growing up in Marin County, I was fortunate to live at the end of a quiet street, adjacent to a privately owned parcel of land. When that land was eventually designated as Open Space, it was a transformative moment for the entire community. The preservation not only safeguarded the natural beauty of the area but also provided a shared space for hiking, gatherings, and picnics. This experience reinforced my belief in the immense value of Open Space—not only for its scenic and recreational benefits but also for its critical role in environmental conservation.

Agricultural preservation is equally essential, as it sustains biodiversity, strengthens local communities, and supports the economy. Protected farmland fosters habitats for wildlife, enhances soil health, reduces water pollution, and ensures a reliable local food supply. Moreover, it sustains countless jobs within the agricultural and food sectors, reinforcing the importance of preserving these lands for future generations.

I am eager to play an active role in safeguarding Sonoma County’s Open Space and farmland, ensuring that these invaluable resources remain protected for years to come.

Agriculture is at the heart of our region’s identity, and as a key contributor to the nation’s food and wine industries, Sonoma County must continue to uphold its legacy of sustainability and responsible land stewardship.

I would be honored to serve on this committee and contribute my perspective, dedication, and experience to further its mission. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to support this important work.

Sincerely, Marjorie Morgenstern
Councilmember, City of Cloverdale
