15.1 REPORT - APPROVAL OF A FIVE YEAR (2024-2029) ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
BACKGROUND: Under the Council’s direction, a five-year economic development strategic plan (“the Plan”) has been developed to support the Council’s economic and community vibrancy goal of creating a diverse and thriving economy that benefits Santa Rosa residents and businesses. While the Plan's main focus revolves around welcoming new and innovative businesses, workforce retention, and expansion, its objectives include community investment, infrastructure, and opportunity access. This well-vetted Plan rooted in sustainable, economic resiliency, encompasses a community engagement perspective and local and regional economic development alignment.

15.2 REPORT - SOUTH SANTA ROSA SPECIFIC PLAN COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY AND ENGAGEMENT ADVISORY
COMMITTEE FORMATION
BACKGROUND: The Planning and Economic Development Department has contracted with 4LEAF, Inc. to prepare the South Santa Rosa Specific Plan (Specific Plan). The Community Engagement Strategy for the Specific Plan outlines the open, thoughtful, and inclusive approach to community outreach that will occur throughout the Specific Plan process, and staff is seeking Council’s acceptance of the proposed Strategy. An important component of the Community Engagement Strategy is the formation of the Engagement Advisory Committee (EAC), which represents residents and stakeholders in the development of the Specific Plan. Council Policy 000-06, Appointments to
Boards/Commissions/Committees, outlines specific requirements for appointments to City committees. Because the Specific Plan EAC will be an official City committee, it is required to comply with this Council Policy. However, strict application of the Policy requires that members be residents of the City of Santa Rosa and requires member appointment by the City Council. Because a large portion of the Specific Plan area is in unincorporated Sonoma County, and to ensure an expedited appointment process for the project, staff is recommending that the Policy be waived to allow County residents within the Specific Plan area to participate and to allow City staff to appoint members based on the EAC composition included in the Strategy.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Planning and
Economic Development Department that the Council, by motion: 1) waive Council Policy 00-06 regarding appointments to
Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report
City of Santa Rosa

Boards/Commissions/Committees to allow Staff to appoint members of the Engagement Advisory Committee for the South Santa Rosa Specific Plan; and 2) accept the Community Engagement Strategy for the South Santa Rosa Specific Plan.

15.3 REPORT - JENNINGS AVENUE AT-GRADE BICYCLE AND
PEDESTRIAN RAILROAD CROSSING REAL PROPERTY LICENSE
AGREEMENT WITH THE SONOMA MARIN AREA RAIL TRANSIT
DISTRICT (SMART)
BACKGROUND: The City received approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on September 20, 2016, through Decision 16-09-002, granting the City’s application for an at-grade bicycle and pedestrian crossing of SMART’s rail line at Jennings Avenue. Since that date, the City and SMART have been negotiating the terms and conditions required to achieve SMART’s approval to proceed with construction. In alignment with the City’s third request to the CPUC to extend the authorization period for construction of the at-grade crossing, SMART’s staff has insisted upon a license agreement to allow the City to proceed with construction that includes very one-sided, expansive language that would impose substantial liability on the City related to SMART’s negligent acts. The language in the proposed agreement requires the City to assume all operational costs associated with the crossing and liability resulting from the location, design, establishment or maintenance of the at-grade crossing even if resulting solely from SMART’s negligence, except for liability ultimately determined by the courts to be due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of SMART. Additionally, the License Agreement proposed by SMART staff requires the City to pay the attorneys’ fees and costs associated with defending SMART against any claims resulting from the location, design, establishment or maintenance of the at-grade crossing, even if the courts ultimately determine that the claims resulted from SMART’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

APRIL 9, 2024City Council
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager’s Office, Transportation and Public Works Department and the City Attorney’s Office that the Council consider, by motion, taking one of the following actions relating to the license agreement proposed by staff of SMART for use and construction of the at-grade crossing of SMART’s Right-of-Way at Milepost 54.96 in the City of Santa Rosa at Jennings Avenue: 1) direct the City Manager to execute the version of the license agreement proposed by SMART’s staff after the remaining Exhibits have been provided by SMART in a form to be approved by the City Attorney, and return the executed agreement to the SMART Board of Directors for consideration and notify the CPUC; or 2) direct the City Manager to execute a revised license agreement containing more balanced liability and indemnity language after the remaining Exhibits have been provided by SMART in a form to be approved by the City Attorney, and return the executed agreement to the SMART Board of Directors for consideration and notify the CPUC; or 3) reject the license agreement proposed by SMART’s staff and direct the City Manager to notify the CPUC and SMART that the City retracts its application to construct an at-grade bicycle and pedestrian crossing at Jennings Avenue.

15.4 REPORT - BUDGET AMENDMENT - ONE-TIME PROJECT FUNDING BACKGROUND: General Fund capital project funding is typically not available during the budget development process as the primary focus is General Fund operations.

When funding is available, staff will request a list of projects including cost estimates, and justifications for project approval. These projects are vetted to come up with a final list to be presented to the City Council along with a recommendation to fund the projects from the unassigned Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report
