13 REPORT OUT OF CLOSED SESSION - Actions Taken
14
15 City Attorney Danly announced that Council had agreed to continue Item 5.A - "El Rose
16 Appeal" to the March 2, 2009 Council Meeting to allow staff time to analyze concerns raised
17 regarding possible conflicts of interest for Council Members Harris and Ren6e.

21 PUBLIC COMMENT
22
23 Wayne Clark, Petaluma, said he wrote an editorial four years ago called, "is Petaluma Morphing
24 Into Santa Rosa?" which characterized the majority of Santa Rosa City Council Members as "Solid
25 Chamber of Commerce commercial development operatives." He then read from a letter to the
26 editor by Bill Kortum regarding the proposed Dutra asphalt plant.
27
28 Rick Braun, Petaluma, cautioned Council that if extension of the termination date for the Urban
29 Growth Boundary was placed on the ballot, the 'odor of profit would attract these termites who
30 would destroy the heartwood of our UGB." He believes at least two Council Members would
31 maneuver to expand the UGB boundary.
32
33 Gerald Moore, Petaluma, thanked Council for letter they set to County Board of Supervisors
34 regarding the proposed Dutra asphalt plant. He spoke about an issue at Shollenberger Park.
35 The fresh water channel no longer functions and has forced the business park water runoff to
36 flow into the big pond instead of the channel. The water gates need to be replaced. In a
37 drought situation, the pond will drain completely and habitat will be destroyed. This analysis was
38 confirmed by two biologists sent by Ducks Unlimited. The City Water Resources and Conservation
39 Department agrees, but has no money to remedy the situation. Ducks Unlimited is submitting a
40 grant proposal to rebuild the wetlands on Route 37 and has offered to make the necessary
41 repairs for Petaluma as part of the larger grant. An in-kind match would be required, which he
42 said can be provided by volunteer hours logged by the Petaluma Wetlands Alliance on habitat
43 restoration and wildlife monitoring.
44
45 Ed Moss, Petaluma, spoke about a flyer that was distributed on Sonoma County Transit buses
46 regarding budget woes and possible reduction/elimination of bus service.

Katherine Bobrowski, Petaluma, spoke of ongoing problems with cars parking illegally in the
firelanes at her mobile home park.
Zen Destiny, Petaluma, spoke in support of making Sonoma County a refuge for immigrants.
Keith (Last Name Not Provided), Petaluma, reminded Council that he was one of two people
fined for being present in Putnam Plaza after closing time. He said that the posted signs, which
were not in plain sight, have not been moved. He believes his money should be returned.
