they received without a public hearing.

Planning Commission Meeting of June 14, 2016 Page 2
City Council member Dave King reported that at their last meeting the City Council finalized the
City's budget which has $43 million in the General Fund which is roughly $6 million less than
2007 but an increase from the previous year. Council also discussed traffic impact fees to assist
in the development of a SMART parking structure at Corona Road. In addition, Council member
King clarified information from a newspaper article regarding a road diet project on Petaluma
Boulevard. The City will not be asked to spend $3.25 million out of the general fund, but rather
there is a grant proposal that will pay for 85% of this project. No decisions have been made
about this project at this point.
B. Pedestrian and Bicycle Committee — Richard Marzo
No report was made since Commission Marzo was absent.
C. Tree Advisory Committee — Gina Benedetti - Petnic
No report was made since Commission Benedetti Petnic was absent.
D. Other Committee Comment
Commissioner Wolpert was involved in a discussion with Mayor Glass regarding Petaluma's
adapting to climate change . Council member Barrett, Ned Orrett with Resource Performance
Partners, and John Crowley were also part of the discussion. Commissioner Wolpert noted that
it was interesting to hear different perspectives and is hoping for an ongoing discussion for
ways to adapt to changes ahead with warming temperatures and rising sea levels. This
discussion was filmed by Community Access Channel and will be posted on YouTube.
Commissioner Pierre stated that she has heard complaints from the community regarding the
construction on the water main and nighttime noise. She noted that the CEQA evaluation and
mitigation never came before the Planning Commission. She also brought up her concern about
future train noise and safety horns and suggested that the City acknowledge the concern. She
also brought up the Regency shopping center development and parking for fair participants.
She recalls that parking would be allowed for the fair in the conditions of approval but wanted
to make sure this was the case before the fair gets going.
Mr. Danly
