APPEAL, RE PINBALL City Attorney Larry Klose stated he had been informed
MACHINES,,, 2311. late in the afternoon the appellant had. withdrawn his
BODEGA.AVENUE appeal regarding, the 'additional pinball -machines, to be
,(CONTINUED TO placed in the Texaco Service Station located at 231
JANUARY 3 1978) Bodega Avenue. Additionally the Police Chief would
Like to,,pursue the appeal., but the City, Attorney asked.
for some.time'to research the matter, as the letter submitted by Chief Murphy'
supported the appeal of Mr. and Mrs. O'stern, rather than submitting a, formal
appeal..
There was, a brief, discussion held by the Council. Councilman Balshaw .indicated
if the Council is to act on not only this problem, but another arcade in the
City', he would like to have some formal type of documentation of the 'types. of
violations for arcades,. bar rooms., '7- Eleven Stores drug stores., et'c. He also
indicated he .felt any type of business which ,would be placed on Bodega.Avenue
would increase the traffic. He would like to see more support.for the types "of
statements included in the appeal by the Ostern's, as well as by Chief Murphy'.
Chief Murphy indicated as far as broadening this question, there would need to
be some app.eal.to the Planning Commission or a separate act brought against an
arcade already in existence in the City..
Chief Murphy also confirmed,, rather than submitting a formal appeal, he.sup-
ported the appeal of the.Ostern's, but he could.just as easily have filed a
formal appeal. His remarks to the Planning Commission would' be the same as he.
would present to the City Council..
City Attorney Larry Klose addressed revocation in general, not just this-par-
ticular case. Revocation would, have to be based• on violation of a condition or
conditions of the original UsePermit. If. the patty complying with-all the
conditions, the City Would have to take some other action, such as a lawsuit,
to abate the, nuisance if a nuisance did, in fact, exist...

RES #8028 NCS Mr. Joslyn was present at the Council Meeting and
stated they had been requested by the City staff to
design drought - resistant landscaping and not install an
irrigation system for the area facing, on McDowell Blvd. beyond the fence line.
Mr. Joslyn stated he felt the request for the landscaping was a legitimate one;
however, their landscape architect has advised that in order for the plants to
get.a good start, some: interim '.type irrigation system would ^be necessary. -The
cost for the irrigation system would be approximately $3,50;0, and it was Mr.
Joslyn's understanding the two, wa connection fees would be $3,300 -.
Community Development and Services Coordinator Frank Gray stated he had done
some research on the connection fees, and the fees would be substantially less
than $3,3.00. Mr. Gray also.stated - the landscaping would be along the public
right -of -way.
There was some discussion regarding the matter., and it was determined since the
landscaping would be in the right -of -way, the water connections would be the
responsibility of the City, as well as watering the plants. Mr. Joslyn then
asked if the City would draft a resolution accepting the irrigation system.
Resolution #8028 N.C.S. accepting,offer;of Qantas.D,evelopment Corporation for
installation of "interim" type irrigation system -in City's: right-of-way, North

members of the City Council with a copy to the City
Manager, City Engineer, Planning Director, and Community Development and Ser-
vices Coordinator., as City Attorney The letter was not read by

The letter stated.the Sonoma County Water,Agency.s..taff developed the Surface
Runoff.Manageme.nt Plan.1n.a.ccordance with the contract with. the.Association of
Bay Area,Governments.. The;Plan was completed October 12, 1977, and submitted
, .to. ABAG., In. his letter • Mr,. Miller, stated it is imperative the two- cities and
th'e County meet to select or create a local entity with the authority to
implement the plan as required by EPA.
City Engineer David, Young stated, Sonoma County would be _the logical entity,•to
adminis.ter�the..Management Plan. When.he attended the Technical, Committee
Meetings regard ng..the� Surface :Runoff Management, Plan, `he felt.; the greater,
number of: future! problems. wouldr.. be outside; the, urban ,boundaries and created by
agriculture. Mr. Young also stated many of the techniques suggested in the
Surface Runoff .Management Plan.are already being done by Petaluma. The City
has a large degree of control over.runoff.at „the present time. He.felt the,
County would be better equipped to .handle, the; rural problems. Both Mr - -. Gray
and Mr. Hall concurred �wi_•th Mr. Youngt's s•tatement..

IMPLEMENTATION,OF the County of Sonoma be designated the lead agency for
SURFACE RUNOFF implementation -of. the Surface Runoff Management Plan,
MANAGEMENT PLAN this meeting should be called shortly after-January 1.
(Continued) At the suggestion of the City Manager, Mayor Putnam
indicated the proper elected officials, i:.e.; probably
the Mayors from both cities and,the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, and
whatever staff the Council designates should be in- attendance.
Councilman Cavanagh, the Council''s representative to the Association.of.Bay
Area Governments; stated the pr'ogram.,probably, wouldn't be through all the
governmental agencies until-next O'ctQ,ber, and he•f'elt the Council would have
plenty o'f, time on the matte:r. Mr. Gray indicated one of" the parts of the 208
Plan indicate It' is mandatory to identify the implementing 'agency, and City
Engineer David Young also stated it was time to start discussion on the.matter
now.
Community :Development and Services Coordinator Frank Gray referred to a letter
which had been received in October, 197'7, regarding additional 20& programs.
The letter was from the Sonoma County Water Agency, and Mr. Gray' stated they
more or less absolved themselves from,repr- esenting the City of Petaluma,.in any
future 208 planning., Mr..Gray stated the .208 program includes an air.. quality
maintenance element, a solid waste management program, water. quality management
element. and a water. distribution element. The ,letter further stated the,
legislative bodies of loca : l entities should appoint knowledgeable and expert
persons to protect their interests,. Mr. Gray recommended that someone from the.
City Manager's Office„ the :City Engineer' "s Office; and the Planning Department
be appointed to serve on this environmental. management task foce.' Mr.. Gray
stated where the Sonoma County Water Agency has performed -in - a technical sense,
they have put the City on notice, they will no longer be able to do this.
Councilman Cavanagh stated the public hearings -at. the Association of Bay Area
Governments, will be coming. up. in January '^and wondered if this 'task, force
should beo appointed at this time. Mr Gray indicated he felt it would be
necessary to halve, someone appointed. to represent the City -at these hearings.
Some discuss,ion.was s h.eld regarding, the staff members! to serve.on..the task
force. "The City °"Manager indicated. ,since Mr'.. Young had been involved. with, 'the
Solid WA.ste.Management Program, ,he probably should, serve on the task force.
Mr. Gray also indicated the 208 Management Plan is .a comprehensive plan for the
entire Bay Area, which will -have a very significant impact. Mr. Young stated
the air quality would be the most complicated,, as there is no one on the City
staff, who•has the expertise to serve on such a committee. Mr, .'Young also
started the- -S'olid'Waste• Management Program submitted by th'e County would ,probably
suffice. The City Manager stated now that he is 'aware of 'the types of: people
who are "required to serve on the Environmental Task Force, he would•make the.
appointments from the City staff.
O ` AMEND WATER EMERGENCY_ Memorandum dated December- 16, 1977, from, the City

PART OF CHAPTE_R,_ -15.18
ORD 41273 NCS City Attorney Larry indicated.there would be two
, ('EMERGENCY ORDINANCE) actions before the Council rega -rding the Water Emer-
gency Ordinance. One would be to amend the Ordinance
to permit the Council to suspend, restr;ictlons upon a finding that surplus
water- is available The ordinance would provide the Council with greater
flexibility, suspending portions of the Water Emergency Ordinance and yet have
the opportunity to restore restrictions without having to - change the ordinance.
In. addition, :Mr. Klose advised a resolution. to be considered by the Council at
this meeting would .suspend,certain restrictions. in the Water Emergency Ordi --
nance, such-as the restrictions glaced on commercial car wash operations,, g "olf
course irrigation, °residential irrigation by.ellminat ng the odd' -even plan,,

residents to wash their vehicles., and also to fill and drain swimming pools.

matter had been discussed with the Sonoma County Water Agency,. and 'it. is the

the same measures, as the matter had been discussed at the Mayors" and Council-
men's Agenda Meeting the.previous week,. City Manager Robert Meyer indicated at

RES #8030 NCS
REPORT- ENERGY'ELEMENT; -'City Manager Robert- Meyer' some time ago'he had
AND CRITERIA FOR appointed Mike Acorne!'to serve'as Energy Coordi-
PETA_hUMA ' I nator for 'all• of the City's departments - and -asked him-
to give the - following report..
Mr. Acorne advised,the State Energy Commission is currently requesting appli-
cations from loco, governments to undertake energy conservation programs.
Grants are being offered on a 50 -50 basis. The _purpose of the program is to
effect immediate measures to decrease energy uses throughout local entities..
Mr. Acorne stated if the Council concurs, it would be necessary to get pro-
posals to develop the application to be forwarded to the State Energy Commis-
sion for these grant monies: The application desired would be in two parts.
The first would be the preparation of an Energy Element for the General Plan
with'technical backup data. -The second purpose of the application would'be'to
develop a criteria.from this element of the General Plan to apply to new
subdivisions as alloca -lion points are being awarded. It is the feeling of the
Planning,Department and, .the Community Development and Services..Co.o.rdinator
Frank Gray, that an Energy Element to the General Plan will be a requirement in
the future. Mr. Acorne stated criteria could also be developed, for commercial
and industrial projects for the future. P.G.& E. has been asked to,join
City in the development of the program, but Mr. Acorne stated as of this date,
there has been.no firm answer from P.G.& E.
The cost of , the program would be dependent.upon P & - E. participating, but Mr.
Acorne stated it would, probably require a cash contribution from the City of
from $4-,000 to.$6,000. In.addition,,,the cost for preparing the grant appli-
cation to the State would be approximately '$500. Mr. Acorne was looking for
direction from the, .Council .whether or not ' they were interested in this type, of.
an application and if he should ask for�propbsals for the preparation of - the
application. Mr.. Acorne s ated - it would be a Highly competitive situation
since there are approximately 100 jurisdictions seeking grant monies totaling
$200,000 for the, 'entire State.
Community Development and Services-Coordinator Frank Gray stated a represen-
tative from Leo Daly Associates .from "San Francisco' was present at the
meeting if the Council had any'questions.': Mr. Gray also 'explained -the reason
they feel a, consultant . would< be necessary is because: the .City does not have the
expertise on its own staff regarding energy use and the mitigating measures
available. Mr.. 'Gray cited the City' of'`Davis as a :cas'e where certain criteria
has' been developed as fo the location of .Houses on lots,,..lot_ sizes, shadows of
the houses', and the orientation of 'buildings towards the sun-. - There have been
three subdivisions built in .Davis under these standards and. they have noticed a
40 percent savings in energy use. If the City of Petaluma was able to ;develop
a certain.standard of criteria for the Residential Development Evaluation .
Board ,'' may lead.t'o a substantial saving in energy use-in-the City.
Councilman Harberson asked if P.G.& E. does not have the expertise available
for the City in this - field. Mr. Gray indicated they do have a land use plan-
ning section, but they do not have a service to ,help cities develop these
criteria-. Mr..Gray indicated the cost of the entire project is estimated to be
around $40,000, with $14, :000 being funded by .the_ $6,000 from the City,.
and $4,000 from the City providing in kind services;,. If P.G. &.E. would par-
ticipate, it would probably constitute about $4,:000 in in kind services... Mr..
Gray also stated a consultant is hired and the is filed for..the
grant, there may be a possibility of- using, P.G.: "& E 's computer for getting
energy consumption patterns..
December 19, 1977 .
REPORT -- ENERGY ELEMENT At the completion of the :presentation, Councilman
AND CRITERIA FOR Balshaw indicated he did not feel the-City should
PETALUMA - undertake additional _studies, as there are so many
(Continued) demands on the staff at this time. 'Mr. Bal,shaw'1n
dicated he.would be opposed to in any
kind of new studies that do not implement, some of the priorities. in. the En-
vironmerital Design, Plan.. Mr. Balshaw indicated' he he had. rev the list of
items which need to be done` -in upcoming months and stated he does not think the
staff has'the'cap'abilites to take on.any additional duties at this °time:
Mayor Putnam ,asked .for some estimate of, the staff- time required 'for the report.
Frank Gray .indicated the staff time would include his time, the City .Engineer,
the,C ty Manager, the-Planning Director, Fred Tarr and possibly other members
of the.Planning staff. There would be about 45 manhoiirs of work per person.
Mr., Gray, also indicated the staff, didn't. want to get any further into the
proposal unless the Council felt they would want -to authorize the application.
If the Council approves of the concept,, Mr.. Gray indicated he would get other "'
let =ters of proposal, n addition to Daly, and Associates, then comeback to.
the Council for authorization to file the application which has`a'deadlin`e of"
February 23, 1978.
Councilman Bond stated he was in agreement with the concern in saving energy;
however., he ind- icated'if the Council is going to look at this aga in, on,.January
3, he would request some written material be given to the C'ounc'il for review.
Frank Gray indicated he would, contact the two other firms who have the expe'r-
tise in the energy conservation field., as well, as Leo Daly and Associates, for
their proposal letters and have "them available Tor'the Council, at 'the first -

reassess their centralization plan..
There was some discussion held by�the method used by the luma'People Ser-
vices-Center the Council asking both' -Mr. Allison and Chief Murphy ques-
tions.
Councilman Bond. asked how the P'e.taluma People Services Center became the point
of referral for juveniles: Chief - Murphy indicated he-had been contacted by the
County P•roiation'Department , ou.tlining the program. He st'ated At first-he was
skeptical; 'however, he was assured the counselors would be reliable and respon-
sible He was satisfied they would not be teaching adverse toa the -Police
Department's system, and he agreed to participate if the County Probation
Department would assure him they would keep reliable people-in the program.
Chief Murphy indicated it was - a three -way communication.between the Probation
Department, the Petaluma.Peop:le S'erv- ces Department and the - Petaluma Police
Department.
After reviewing the program with-Mr-.,.Allison,,-the Council determined a letter

RES 448032 NCS Gilbert.'. Mr. Hall stated , appeal had been filed on
(CONTINUED FROM this matter, but he did not :feel the appeal was ap-
12/12/77) p'ropriate. The Planning Department is still of the
opinion.that Larch Drive should be extended across the
northeast corner of thee Lands :of.. Gilbert: to;,provide- ..f.or logical development of
the area. A -foot diagonal right -of -way across:the property could continue
on to an extension of'webster•Street, and'the ultimate development -of:the
entire area,. Mr -. HAII stated he felt the most appropriate way to handle- the.
matter, in view of all parties; concerned,, would•be to require an irrevocable
offer - of dedication of the 60 -foot right -of -way. The second consideration he,
suggested•would- be to 'have the City consider acceptance the right -of -way
upon - the filing of a tentative map or.a proposal for developmemt, which would
include construction' of public street improvements :on that easement. The third
point Mr. Hall raised was to -.have the Cty' approve the private street on the
offer of dedication... This would provide for the extension of Larch Drive and
enable 'neighboring'prop'er.t;ies to add additional dedication of rights -of -way
which would open up =the entr:e:property.
City.Attorney Larry.Klose, advised =the staff has had more time to the
matter; and in addressing .•the_•appeal filed by Mr Dorenfeld; - the City Attorney
did not feel the appeal is a. proper action; - The Cotincl would have to approve .
the.private street agreement and approval-.of the parcel.map would depend upon
that action. Mr. Klose also,st:ated that Section 22.7.;503.2 of the.Subdivision

Ordinance provides for,dedication as suggested,by. Mr.
Hall: Mr....Klose'•also felt that dedication could be
required ,without. the actual; construction of the street.
The. construction_ could, be deferred as,bad been pre -
viously d'one Bodega Avenue. He suggested the City
take an krr of }fer of dedication, which'-the City
could, take ;at,,any. time;,, but,, until the City. does .accept
„ it,. it remains_ on, the tax ro,11s and the responsibility
of the landowners.
Matthew Hudson was present representing Dr. _ Robert„ ilb:ert,.-.., Mr. Hudson:•!stated
he felt the.Doct'or would be willing to dedicate the street but not willing to
build "the: improvements. .'It- is. his „und`erstanding the roadway.'. would .ibe. private
street until the, City accepts thee, irrevocable, offer. Any imp;rovemen.ts :that,
would be.made would probably be put in by. somebody else. Mr. Hudson also
commented on the Planning Commission .findings on the section of the-Subdivision
Ordinance that they did not feel a private street was necessary,, but he stated
once again the, Doctor would. be willing to ,dedicate the land... Mr. Hudson also
stated Dr. Gilbert would, be ag,reeab,l'e to this* dedication, only if' the,, parcel map
is, approved t City' Attorney.• Larry Klose indicated the irrevocab,le,.of'f'er would
be recorded, with - -the. parcel :map:.: .
