LIQUOR LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
Various provisions in this policy restrict coverage.

Read the entire policy carefully to determine rights,
duties and what is and is not covered.

Throughout this policy the words "you" and "your"
refer to the Named Insured shown in the Declarations, and any other person or organization qualifying as a Named Insured under this policy. The words
"we", "us" and "our" refer to the Company providing
this insurance.

The word "insured" means any person or organization
qualifying as such under Section II – Who Is An Insured.

Other words and phrases that appear in quotation
marks have special meaning. Refer to Section V –
Definitions.

SECTION I – LIQUOR LIABILITY COVERAGE

1. Insuring Agreement
a. We will pay those sums that the insured becomes legally obligated to pay as damages because of "injury" to which this insurance applies if liability for such "injury" is imposed on the insured by reason of the selling, serving or
furnishing of any alcoholic beverage. We will
have the right and duty to defend the insured
against any "suit" seeking those damages.

However, we will have no duty to defend the
insured against any "suit" seeking damages for
"injury" to which this insurance does not apply.

We may, at our discretion, investigate any "injury" and settle any claim or "suit" that may result. But:
(1) The amount we will pay for damages is
limited as described in Section III – Limits
Of Insurance; and
(2) Our right and duty to defend ends when we
have used up the applicable limit of insurance in the payment of judgments or settlements.

No other obligation or liability to pay sums or
perform acts or services is covered unless explicitly provided for under Supplementary Payments. b. This insurance applies to "injury" only if:
(1) The "injury" occurs during the policy period
in the "coverage territory"; and
(2) Prior to the policy period, no insured listed
under Paragraph 1. of Section II – Who Is
An Insured and no "employee" authorized
by you to give or receive notice of an "injury" or claim, knew that the "injury" had occurred, in whole or in part. If such a listed insured or authorized "employee" knew,
prior to the policy period, that the "injury"
occurred, then any continuation, change or
resumption of such "injury" during or after
the policy period will be deemed to have
been known prior to the policy period.
c. "Injury" which occurs during the policy period
and was not, prior to the policy period, known
to have occurred by any insured listed under
Paragraph 1. of Section II – Who Is An Insured
or any "employee" authorized by you to give or
receive notice of an "injury" or claim, includes
any continuation, change or resumption of that
"injury" after the end of the policy period.
d. "Injury" will be deemed to have been known to
have occurred at the earliest time when any insured listed under Paragraph 1. of Section II – Who Is An Insured or any "employee" authorized by you to give or receive notice of an "injury" or claim:
(1) Reports all, or any part, of the "injury" to us
or any other insurer;
(2) Receives a written or verbal demand or
claim for damages because of the "injury";
or
(3) Becomes aware by any other means that
"injury" has occurred or has begun to occur.

2. Exclusions
This insurance does not apply to:
a. Expected Or Intended Injury
"Injury" expected or intended from the standpoint of the insured. This exclusion does not apply to "bodily injury" resulting from the use of
reasonable force to protect persons or property.
b. Workers' Compensation And Similar Laws
Any obligation of the insured under a workers'
compensation, disability benefits or unemployment compensation law or any similar law.

c. Employer's Liability
"Bodily injury" to:
(1) An "employee" of the insured arising out of
and in the course of:
(a) Employment by the insured; or
(b) Performing duties related to the conduct
of the insured's business; or
(2) The spouse, child, parent, brother or sister
of that "employee" as a consequence of
Paragraph (1) above.

This exclusion applies:
(1) Whether the insured may be liable as an
employer or in any other capacity; and
(2) To any obligation to share damages with or
repay someone else who must pay damages because of the "injury". d. Liquor License Not In Effect
"Injury" arising out of any alcoholic beverage
sold, served or furnished while any required license is suspended or after such license expires, is cancelled or revoked. e. Your Product
"Injury" arising out of "your product". This exclusion does not apply to "injury" for which the insured or the insured's indemnitees may be
held liable by reason of:
(1) Causing or contributing to the intoxication of
any person;
(2) The furnishing of alcoholic beverages to a
person under the legal drinking age or under the influence of alcohol; or (3) Any statute, ordinance or regulation relating
to the sale, gift, distribution or use of alcoholic beverages. f. Other Insurance
Any "injury" with respect to which other insurance is afforded, or would be afforded but for the exhaustion of the limits of insurance.

This exclusion does not apply if the other insurance responds to liability for "injury" imposed on the insured by reason of the selling, serving or furnishing of any alcoholic beverage.

SUPPLEMENTARY PAYMENTS
We will pay, with respect to any claim we investigate
or settle, or any "suit" against an insured we defend:

1. All expenses we incur.

2. The cost of bonds to release attachments, but only
for bond amounts within the applicable limit of insurance. We do not have to furnish these bonds.

3. All reasonable expenses incurred by the insured
at our request to assist us in the investigation or
defense of the claim or "suit", including actual loss
of earnings up to $250 a day because of time off
from work.

4. All costs taxed against the insured in the "suit".

5. Prejudgment interest awarded against the insured
on that part of the judgment we pay. If we make an
offer to pay the applicable limit of insurance, we
will not pay any prejudgment interest based on
that period of time after the offer.

6. All interest on the full amount of any judgment that accrues after entry of the judgment and before we
have paid, offered to pay, or deposited in court the
part of the judgment that is within the applicable
limit of insurance.

7. Expenses incurred by the insured for first aid
administered to others at the time of an event to
which this insurance applies.

These payments will not reduce the limits of insurance.

SECTION II – WHO IS AN INSURED

1. If you are designated in the Declarations as:
a. An individual, you and your spouse are insureds.
b. A partnership or joint venture, you are an insured. Your members, your partners, and their spouses are also insureds, but only with respect to the conduct of your business. c. A limited liability company, you are an insured.

(1) "Injury":

course of his or her employment or performing duties related to the conduct of your business;
(b) To the spouse, child, parent, brother or
sister of that co-"employee" as a consequence of Paragraph (1)(a) above; or (c) For which there is any obligation to

with respect to duties as such. That representative will have all your rights and duties under this Coverage Part.

3. Any organization you newly acquire or form, other
than a partnership, joint venture or limited liability
company, and over which you maintain ownership
or majority interest, will qualify as a Named Insured if there is no other similar insurance available to that organization. However:
a. Coverage under this provision is afforded only
until the 90th day after you acquire or form the
organization or the end of the policy period,
whichever is earlier; and
b. Coverage does not apply to "injury" that occurred before you acquired or formed the organization.

No person or organization is an insured with respect
to the conduct of any current or past partnership, joint venture or limited liability company that is not shown
as a Named Insured in the Declarations.

SECTION III – LIMITS OF INSURANCE

1. The Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations
and the rules below fix the most we will pay regardless of the number of:
a. Insureds;
b. Claims made or "suits" brought; or
c. Persons or organizations making claims or
bringing "suits".

2. The Aggregate Limit is the most we will pay for all
"injury" as the result of the selling, serving or furnishing of alcoholic beverages.

3. Subject to the Aggregate Limit, the Each Common
Cause Limit is the most we will pay for all "injury"
sustained by one or more persons or organizations as the result of the selling, serving or furnishing of any alcoholic beverage to any one person.

The Limits of Insurance of this Coverage Part apply
separately to each consecutive annual period and to
any remaining period of less than 12 months, starting
with the beginning of the policy period shown in the
Declarations, unless the policy period is extended
after issuance for an additional period of less than 12 months. In that case, the additional period will be
deemed part of the last preceding period for purposes
of determining the Limits of Insurance.

SECTION IV – LIQUOR LIABILITY CONDITIONS

1. Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy or insolvency of the insured or of the
insured's estate will not relieve us of our obligations under this Coverage Part.

2. Duties In The Event Of Injury, Claim Or Suit
a. You must see to it that we are notified as soon
as practicable of an "injury" which may result in
a claim. To the extent possible, notice should
include:

place;
(2) The names and addresses of any injured
persons and witnesses; and
(3) The nature and location of any "injury".
b. If a claim is made or "suit" is brought against
any insured, you must:
(1) Immediately record the specifics of the
claim or "suit" and the date received; and
(2) Notify us as soon as practicable.

You must see to it that we receive written notice of the claim or "suit" as soon as practicable.

Page 4 of 5 ends

c. You and any other involved insured must:
(1) Immediately send us copies of any demands, notices, summonses or legal papers received in connection with the claim or "suit";
(2) Authorize us to obtain records and other
information;
(3) Cooperate with us in the investigation or
settlement of the claim or defense against
the "suit"; and
(4) Assist us, upon our request, in the enforcement of any right against any person or organization which may be liable to the
insured because of "injury" to which this insurance may also apply. d. No insured will, except at that insured's own
cost, voluntarily make a payment, assume any
obligation, or incur any expense, other than for
first aid, without our consent.

3. Legal Action Against Us
No person or organization has a right under this
Coverage Part:
a. To join us as a party or otherwise bring us into
a "suit" asking for damages from an insured; or
b. To sue us on this Coverage Part unless all of
its terms have been fully complied with.

A person or organization may sue us to recover on
an agreed settlement or on a final judgment
against an insured; but we will not be liable for
damages that are not payable under the terms of
this Coverage Part or that are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed
by us, the insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative.

4. Other Insurance
If other valid and collectible insurance is available
to the insured for a loss we cover under this Coverage Part, our obligations are limited as follows:
a. Primary Insurance
This insurance is primary. Our obligations are
not affected unless any of the other insurance
is also primary. Then, we will share with all that
other insurance by the method described in b.
below.
b. Method Of Sharing
If all of the other insurance permits contribution
by equal shares, we will follow this method
also. Under this approach each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first.

If any of the other insurance does not permit
contribution by equal shares, we will contribute
by limits. Under this method, each insurer's
share is based on the ratio of its applicable
limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of
insurance of all insurers.

5. Premium Audit
a. We will compute all premiums for this Coverage Part in accordance with our rules and rates.
b. Premium shown in this Coverage Part as advance premium is a deposit premium only. At the close of each audit period we will compute
the earned premium for that period and send
notice to the first Named Insured. The due date
for audit and retrospective premiums is the
date shown as the due date on the bill. If the
sum of the advance and audit premiums paid
for the policy period is greater than the earned
premium, we will return the excess to the first
Named Insured.
c. The first Named Insured must keep records of
the information we need for premium computation, and send us copies at such times as we may request.

6. Representations
By accepting this policy, you agree:
a. The statements in the Declarations are accurate and complete; b. Those statements are based upon representations you made to us; and c. We have issued this policy in reliance upon
your representations.

7. Separation Of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and
any rights or duties specifically assigned in this
Coverage Part to the first Named Insured, this insurance applies:
a. As if each Named Insured were the only
Named Insured; and
b. Separately to each insured against whom claim
is made or "suit" is brought.

8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against
Others To Us
If the insured has rights to recover all or part of
any payment we have made under this Coverage
Part, those rights are transferred to us. The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them.

At our request, the insured will bring "suit" or
transfer those rights to us and help us enforce
them.

9. When We Do Not Renew
If we decide not to renew this Coverage Part, we
will mail or deliver to the first Named Insured
shown in the Declarations written notice of the
nonrenewal not less than 30 days before the expiration date.

If notice is mailed, proof of mailing will be sufficient proof of notice.

the following:

Policy to which this endorsement is applicable,
and includes but is not limited to "bodily injury",
"property damage", "personal and advertising
injury", "injury" or "environmental damage" as
may be defined in any applicable Coverage
Part or Policy.

EXCLUSION OF TERRORISM
We will not pay for "any injury or damage" caused
directly or indirectly by "terrorism", including action in hindering or defending against an actual or expected incident of "terrorism". "Any injury or damage" is excluded regardless of any other cause or event that contributes concurrently or in any sequence to such injury or damage. But this exclusion applies only when one or more of the following are attributed to an incident of "terrorism":

dispersal or application of radioactive material,
or through the use of a nuclear weapon or device that involves or produces a nuclear reaction, nuclear radiation or radioactive contamination; or

3. The "terrorism" is carried out by means of the

5. The total of insured damage to all types of
property exceeds $25,000,000. In determining
whether the $25,000,000 threshold is exceeded, we will include all insured damage sustained by property of all persons and entities affected by the "terrorism" and business interruption losses sustained by owners or occupants of the damaged property. For the purpose of this provision, insured damage means damage that is covered by any insurance plus
damage that would be covered by any insurance but for the application of any terrorism exclusions; or

6. Fifty or more persons sustain death or serious
physical injury. For the purposes of this provision, serious physical injury means:
a. Physical injury that involves a substantial
risk of death; or

c. Protracted loss of or impairment of the
function of a bodily member or organ.

Multiple incidents of "terrorism" which occur within
a 72-hour period and appear to be carried out in
concert or to have a related purpose or common
leadership will be deemed to be one incident, for
the purpose of determining whether the thresholds
in Paragraphs B.5. or B.6. are exceeded.

With respect to this Exclusion, Paragraphs B.5.
and B.6. describe the threshold used to measure
the magnitude of an incident of "terrorism" and the
circumstances in which the threshold will apply, for
the purpose of determining whether this Exclusion
will apply to that incident. When the Exclusion applies to an incident of "terrorism", there is no coverage under this Coverage Part or Policy.

In the event of any incident of "terrorism" that is
not subject to this Exclusion, coverage does not
apply to "any injury or damage" that is otherwise
excluded under this Coverage Part or Policy.

AND ANY PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED RESOLUTIONS IN

CONFLICT HEREWITH AND ADOPTING A POLICY FOR

SPECIAL EVENTS AND CITY PARTNERSHIPS
WHEREAS, the City of Healdsburg (“City”) recognizes the importance and value of special events in promoting community engagement, cultural vitality, economic development, and tourism within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City periodically receives requests for the use of City parks, streets, sidewalks, and other rights-of-way for special events; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that downtown event venues, and venues outside the downtown core are areas available to the public for special event use; and WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the need to update the existing special events policy to address inconsistencies between Resolution No. 136-2014 and Section 12.24 of the City of Healdsburg Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish a comprehensive and transparent policy framework to guide the planning, organization, and execution of special events in a manner that ensures public safety, minimizes disruptions to residents and businesses, and maximizes the benefits to the community; and
WHEREAS, the City Council also desires to establish a procedure for the City to partner with certain special events that provide a unique benefit to City residents, businesses and visitors.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Healdsburg hereby rescinds Resolution No. 136-2014 in its entirety, and any previously adopted Resolutions in conflict herewith; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council:

1. Finds that adopting the Policy for Special Events and City Partnership is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it is not a project, since it will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact on the environment. Even if adoption of this Policy were deemed a project, it would be exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 Minor Alterations to Land, as it provides procedures for the use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment and does not involve the removal of healthy, mature scenic trees. Further, special events are considered normal operations of existing facilities for Item 6.l

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2026
SUBJECT: City Council Protocols - Remote Participation
PREPARED BY: April Mitts, Assistant City Manager
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
- Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Discussion and direction for updating City Council Protocols regarding remote participation.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The City Council held a goal setting workshop on April 18, 2025, at Healdsburg Golf Club at Tayman Park Clubhouse. The workshop was open to the public and included multiple opportunities for public comment. At the workshop, City Council identified a goal to update its protocols. This was affirmed by City Council on June 2, 2025.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council first adopted protocols on November 4, 2013 (Resolution No. 128-2013), in an effort to ensure the orderly and efficient conduct of its meetings. On May 19, 2014 (Resolution No. 65-2014), City Council revised those protocols to address certain questions and comments received from the public concerning the public comment process. On March 19, 2018 (Resolution No. 20-2018), City Council further revised the protocols making them more comprehensive and included and/or referenced language found in City Council adopted resolutions, the City’s Municipal Code, and best practices in other Sonoma County cities.

One of the 2025-2026 City Council goals is to update the City Council protocols, including a comprehensive review and look at best practices from other agencies.

On August 4, 2025, the City Council appointed a subcommittee of Council Member Mitchell (then Mayor Mitchell) and Council Member Kelley to work with staff to further review the existing protocols and make recommendations to the full City Council for consideration.

On October 20, 2025, the subcommittee provided a progress update to City Council and City Item 8.a
382 of 422
Council provided feedback regarding taking positions on legislation and ballot measures.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Since the October 20, 2025, City Council meeting, the subcommittee and City staff have met two additional times. Currently, the subcommittee and City staff are seeking City Council feedback and direction regarding remote participation via Zoom.

In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid changes in how local government conducted public business, in particular conducting public meetings entirely online for extended periods to comply with social distancing requirements and ensure continuity of government operations. As temporary COVID-19 orders ended, city councils returned to in-person meetings.

Recently, Senate Bill (SB) 707 enacted two main categories of amendments to the Brown Act.

Most amendments go into effect on July 1, 2026. One category expands and clarifies procedural and participation requirements for non-traditional teleconferencing and applies to all legislative bodies. The other category expands public access and participation and applies to “eligible legislative bodies.” The category expanding public access includes offering remote public participation. While Healdsburg is not an “eligible legislative body” there has been in interest by City Council in exploring remote participation by the public. Interest in exploring remote participation is two-fold:

Expand Public Engagement. Remote access may increase public participation by allowing more residents to observe meetings and provide public comment without being physically present, particularly those who may not otherwise engage.

Flexibility for City Council Members. Remote participation will allow City Council members to participate when illness or other circumstances would otherwise prevent attendance, supporting quorum and meeting continuity. For many years, Healdsburg City Councilmembers have had the ability to participate in meetings via teleconference (such as Zoom) when their location is known and sufficient time exists to include the location address on the meeting agenda and post the agenda at that location. More recent amendments allow remote participation by councilmembers on shorter notice, in the case of illness or other emergency circumstances, but that allowance only applies to cities that also offer digital participation in the meetings for members of the public.

City staff and the sub-committee conducted research into the use of streaming and remote participation for other cities in Sonoma County, as summarized below.

As shown in the table above, eight of the nine jurisdictions stream meetings and two jurisdictions allow remote public comment. Currently the City of Santa Rosa does not allow remote public comment; however, pursuant to SB 707 Santa Rosa will be required to offer remote participation sometime in 2026.

Four of the jurisdictions have also developed guidelines for removing individuals from remote participation in certain circumstances; all guidelines for removal must be consistent with the First Amendment and the Brown Act.

While there are benefits to remote participation, there are also concerns which are highlighted below:

Technical Challenges and Reliability Issues. Connectivity problems, audio or video failures, and user unfamiliarity with technology can disrupt meetings and create inequities among participants.

Reduced Meeting Decorum and Engagement. Virtual environments can make it more difficult to manage decorum and maintain focused participation compared to in-person meetings.

Security and Disruption Risks. Remote platforms can be vulnerable to disruptive behavior, including inappropriate conduct or unauthorized access, requiring additional moderation and security measures.

Equity Concerns Related to Technology Access. Not all residents have reliable internet access or appropriate devices, which can unintentionally exclude some community members.

Administrative and Staffing Impacts and Added Risk. Managing remote participation requires additional staff time, training, and resources to coordinate technology, moderate public comment, and troubleshoot issues in real time.

Recommendation
Based on the research conducted and discussions held by City staff and the City Council subcommittee, the recommendation is to continue with traditional, in-person and written public comments at City Council and City Commission meetings at this time. While remote participation offers potential benefits—such as expanding access for some residents and providing flexibility for Councilmember participation—these advantages are outweighed by operational and governance concerns.

A review of Sonoma County jurisdictions shows that although most cities stream their meetings, only a small number currently allow live remote public comment. This indicates that in-person comment remains the prevailing and proven practice among peer agencies, with limited adoption of remote comment even as streaming has become standard.

Item 8.a
384 of 422
Significant challenges associated with remote participation were identified, including technical reliability issues that can disrupt meetings and create inconsistent experiences for participants.

Virtual environments also present increased difficulty in maintaining meeting decorum and meaningful engagement, as well as heightened risks of security breaches or disruptive behavior that require additional safeguards and moderation.

Equity considerations further support maintaining traditional public comment, as not all residents have access to reliable internet service or appropriate technology, which could unintentionally exclude some voices. Additionally, remote participation would impose added administrative and staffing demands, particularly on the City Clerk’s office, by introducing new technical responsibilities and another point of potential failure that could interfere with the orderly conduct of meetings.

With this recommendation, City Council meetings would continue to be conducted fully in person.

Public participation will continue to be encouraged through conventional channels; via written public comment (email or physical correspondence) and physical attendance. This option would maintain the status quo for traditional teleconferencing by City Councilmembers (e.g. posting of agenda at the location for the entire notice period, site open to the public and ADA accessible, etc.).

City Council direction tonight will guide the subcommittee and City staff on next steps and any necessary policy or procedural updates.

Next Steps
The subcommittee and City staff will continue to review the protocols and compile recommendations for full City Council review, estimated to be no later than March 31, 2026.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Draft Workplan for Development of a Potential On-Demand Microtransit Shuttle Program
PREPARED BY: April Mitts, Assistant City Manager
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):
- Pursue Initiatives that Promote Environmental Stewardship RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Provide direction to staff on the draft workplan for development of an on-demand microtransit shuttle program.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

A key goal of the Climate Mobilization Strategy (CMS) was to ensure a community-driven process. To gather broad input, the City hosted four CMS events—held in-person, virtually, and throughout the year—and promoted the events through multiple outreach methods. Corazón Healdsburg supported Spanish-language facilitation to ensure inclusive participation. The City also met with stakeholder groups including Climate Action Healdsburg, the Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee, Rotary, the Senior Center, and the Healdsburg High School Eco-Art Club.

Three community surveys were issued to better understand local concerns about climate change and priorities for future City actions.

Since CMS adoption in October 2023, City staff has continued working with regional partners— such as Zero Waste Sonoma, Sonoma County Transit (SCT), Sonoma County Transportation and Climate Protection Agency (SCTCA), Recology, and the Northern California Power Authority (NCPA)—as well as local organizations including Climate Action Healdsburg, the Active Transportation Plan workgroup, Rotary, the Chamber of Commerce, Corazón Healdsburg, and the Healdsburg Unified School District.

On September 16, 2024, and on September 15, 2025, staff presented the CMS update to City Council at regularly scheduled City Council meetings. The reports noted that City staff, in partnership with local and regional organizations and members of the community, had made Item 9.a
386 of 422
substantial progress on CMS implementation. As of September 15, 2025, staff had started work on 53 of the 57 actions in the three-year implementation plan. The adopted CMS, Implementation Plan, and materials from the development are available at www.healdsburg.gov/CMS.

BACKGROUND:

The Healdsburg Climate Mobilization Strategy (CMS) includes five transportation measures and 36 actions, 17 of which are planned for years one through three. Three of these early actions focus on transit opportunities (Actions T-2.4, T-2A.1, and T-2A.2). Their status, as presented to City Council on September 15, 2025, is summarized below.

CMS Action T-2.4
Description: Work with public transit partners and rider groups to improve ridership through improved routes and modifying schedules to increase efficiency and align with riders’ needs.

Ensure public transportation access and improvements to ridership and route efficiency are prioritized in low-income areas, active aging neighborhoods, schools and at major destinations.

This could include surveying existing transportation services, routes, schedules, and facilities throughout the City and developing a plan to improve these for implementation with preference given to improving public transportation facilities, schedules, and expand access to transit (i.e., first and last-mile access).

Status: In Progress
Key Updates & Milestones:

ROUTE 60
City staff has worked with Sonoma County Transportation (SCT) to add a new Route 60 stop at the North Village. The new stop is operational and a new shelter was constructed in 2024.

ROUTE 67
Staff is currently working with SCT on a potential bus charging station to support Route 67 operations and expansion of service. At this time, SCT is planning the expansion of this route through Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) grant funding received as part of the Saggio Hills affordable housing project. Grant funding is for the purchase of a bus and installation of chargers, with the bus being operated by SCT. The bus has been ordered, and staff continues to have conversations with SCT for charger placement. Due to leadership changes at SCT, this project has had some delay.

CMS Action T-2A.1
Description: Conduct a background review of options for purchasing, operating, and maintaining an on-demand door-to-door e-shuttle. This may include the development of a new on-demand eshuttle, the expansion of DASH (Drivers Assisting Seniors in Healdsburg) for all residents of Healdsburg, or the development of a program to subsidize the cost for electric car-share programs such as Uber or Lyft. The analysis should include identification of potential funding sources (e.g., grants, local taxes, local business sponsorship, discretionary funds, etc.) and identification of barriers and opportunities for how such a micro-mobility program may enhance active transportation or public transit use. Present the findings to City Council and the public to determine next steps.

Item 9.a
387 of 422
Status: In Progress
Key Updates & Milestones:

In Q1 2024, City staff conducted research and stakeholder outreach regarding an on-demand (microtransit) pilot project. The project anticipated partnering with a third-party vendor that would provide a complete on-demand shuttle solution, including vehicles, employees, an online app and phone service for requesting and tracking rides, customer support, branding and promotional support, and program measurement. The project anticipated three vehicles operating during peak hours, with operational hours beginning at 6:00 a.m. and going through 10:00 p.m. Two of the three vehicles would be specifically designated as Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicles (WAVs). The service area preliminarily identified all territory within the City of Healdsburg limits, Fitch Mountain (county unincorporated), and potentially expanded within a five-mile radius of the City during weekends to accommodate tourism traffic to local wineries.

The estimated cost for this service was approximately $1.8 million annually which includes $1.3- $1.6 million for the third-party vendor and $200,000 in City staff time to set up the system, solicit a vendor, manage the vendor contract, and promote the service. Based on preliminary ridership projections prepared by the vendor, the program was anticipated to cost approximately $65 per ride, in 2024 dollars.

Because the City does not have funding for this project, in Q2 2024, staff submitted a congressional funding request for $1.44 million to support a one-year electric vehicle (EV) on-demand pilot project. Unfortunately, funding was not received for this pilot project.

In October 2025, the SCTCA Climate Change Partners held a climate grant planning and coordination meeting to discuss potential collaborative projects. City staff put forth on-demand microtransit as a potential project for regional collaboration and discussions continue among the partners on the various options.

CMS Action T-2A.2
Description: Based on the findings of the feasibility study and the response from City Council and the public, develop and implement a micromobility policy that establishes deployment protocol and permitting process, identifies any restrictions for use for safety reasons, and promotes equitable access through requirements for consistent placement of micro-mobility devices (escooters, e-bikes, etc.) in underserved areas or reductions in usage fees for lower-income users.

Status: N/A
Key Updates & Milestones: CMS Action T-2A.2 is related to Action T-2A.1 and will not take place until the feasibility study is completed.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

In accordance with CMS action items T-2A.1 and T-2.A.2, and per City Council direction on November 17, 2025, staff have prepared a draft workplan to further evaluate the feasibility of an on-demand system for City Council consideration.

Item 9.a
388 of 422
There are complexities associated with on-demand systems resulting in the need for cross departmental collaboration to determine its feasibility. Following the November 17, 2025, City Council meeting, the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Public Works Director, Community Development Director, and Housing Director, met and drafted the following workplan, identifying key information necessary to determine feasibility of a program.

The primary focus of the draft workplan (below) is on-demand micro-transit; however, this may be expanded to include CMS actions T-2.1 and T-2.2 which were not included in the initial threeyear CMS action items.

Item 9.a
390 of 422
▪ DASH
▪ Women Driving Women
Phase II – Plan Development and Options
Duration: 2 – 3 months (April/May 2026 – June/August 2026 The development of an on-demand operational plan will take the information gathered in Phase I to evaluate the community’s mobility needs and determine whether an on-demand, flexible transportation service can improve local connectivity, support workforce and visitor travel, and enhance access to key destinations. The plan will analyze demand patterns, assess service models, estimate costs, estimate staff resources needed to oversee the program, and identify funding options.

An operational plan would include considerations such as:
• Service Area: would the shuttle operate in part of the City, all of the City, or areas outside of the City?
• Hours of operation
• Number of vehicles needed to provide adequate coverage • Ridership eligibility
• Costs to ride, if any, and discount programs for low-income riders • Direct costs to a service provider
• Costs incurred by the City to manage the program
• Availability of one-time and ongoing funding
• Allocation of responsibility amongst various partners for administering the program Additional considerations that may be addressed during this phase:

1. Integration analysis – How would on-demand service complement or compete with existing Routes 60/67 and DASH?

2. Risk Assessment – Explore things such as vendor reliability, funding sustainability, demand fluctuation, etc.

The plan will provide information to staff and the City Council to determine the feasibility and potential launch of an on-demand service.

To the extent feasible, staff would also seek to identify likely costs for the operational models developed in this phase. In addition, staff would identify known funding sources that could support a microtransit program. This could include, but is not limited to, remaining one-time fundings from the Saggio Hills AHSC grant, and possible contributions from hotels or other businesses that stood to benefit from the program, State or regional transportation funding, and the City’s General Fund.

Phase III – City Council Presentation and Consideration (CMS Action T-2A.2) Estimated: July/August 2026
Phase III would be a presentation to City Council on the feasibility of an on-demand microtransit service in Healdsburg. There is no fiscal impact associated with the feasibility study; however, Item 9.a
391 of 422
meeting the timeline proposed above will take significant staff time and is likely to delay completion of other projects and City Council goals.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the California Environmental Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, the recommended action is an administrative activity of the City and will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and is therefore not a project for purposes of CEQA.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council could direct staff to: (1) not work on the on-demand program, (2) delay working on the on-demand program, or (3) return with more information to assist the City Council in determining how to proceed at this time.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact to putting together a feasibility study; however, it is anticipated significant staff time will be necessary.

As noted previously, the costs to operate an on-demand shuttle program are substantial. When staff met with a potential operator in 2024, it was determined that two vehicles were necessary to provide adequate coverage for a citywide model, and three would be preferable to avoid long waits at busy times. Backup vehicles are also needed to avoid service disruptions in instances of maintenance or mechanical issues. As part of the work plan, staff would seek to identify and inventory potential funding sources, noting which ones are ongoing and which are one-time.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Not applicable.
