Mr. Gray reminded the Council they had already submitted park development priorities - -(1) McNear Peninsula Project, (2) Western Hillside Park Project- -and it is now the proper time to request funds to acquire the property for development of one of these proposed park sites. The City is eligible to receive $122,000 for new park development under the Park Bond Act; however, the application must state a specific park project. It is the Council's decision to choose to either apply for funds for one park project, or request funds for one- half of each proposed project, thereby deferring the final selection of a park site to a later date. He explained the application for funds must be submitted by September 1st for clearance by September 15th, in order to comply with allocation requirements. The acquisition of the McNear Peninsula property consisting of approximately 26 acres was briefly discussed, but the Council concentrated their attention on the Western Hillside Park site. Mr. Gray informed the Council if the Western Hillside Park were purchased with State Park Bond Act monies, Sonoma County has agreed to develop the proposed park with their Park Bond Act monies; conversely if Sonoma County purchased the park site, the City could develop it. He informed the Council the property includes approximately 179 acres and is valued at $1,000 per acre. Various plans for development of the proposed hillside park site were explored considering the terrain and suitability for Petaluma citizens in general. In answer to Council Cavanagh, Mr. Gray assured the .Council'Sonoma County is attempting purchase of the La Cumbre property, and has recently submitted two applications to various agencies (property value approximately $175,000). Councilman Harberson, Council representative to the Recreation, Music and Parks Commission, suggested the Council consider purchasing the La Cumbre property with surplus Water funds. He pointed out the accessibility is good for City residents. The Council briefly discussed the acquisition of the McNear Peninsula Property agreeing that it would probably be available with negotiation; however, the Council agreed to withhold any action regarding application for the 1974 State Park Act funds until they have explored the Western Hillside Park site and other suggested proposals. The matter was deferred to a special meeting scheduled August 25, 1975.

Director of Environmental Affairs Frank Gray briefly reviewed the status of the- - East Wash == ington Creek Linear Parkway and explained the proposed resolution- -one approving and accepting the master plan for East Washington Creek Linear Park, prepared by Sidney M. Lewin; and, the other authorizing City staff to proceed with development of said parkway. At the request of the Council, Chief Higgins pointed out potential problems development of the parkway will create, particularly being located to the rear of residences. He cited poor lighting, "intrusion of noise, and foresees increased activity for Police Department personnel; however, he added there is an "established pathway," which means the area already has traffic and this traffic will continue whether the pathway is developed or not. Mrs. Sylvia Sartini, 1537 Creeksi'de Drive, requested permission to display slides of the area to show the Council the lack of attention the creek re- ceives from the Sonoma County Flood Control Mr. and Mrs. Sartini both spoke opposing the development of the parkway, along with Mr. Frank Robin, 13 Eastside Circle. They suggested further development of Lucchesi Park rather than expending funds for the development of the proposed parkway. 0 t� 4 41 42 August 18, 1975 EAST WASHINGTON Mrs. Marion Hodges addressed the Council expressing CREEK LINEAR her desire to see the parkway developed. Mrs. Jane PARK -' MASTER PLAN Jewett stated she would like to see the bike path RES 0 099 NCS developed, but did not see the necessity for lights, (Continued) etc. Complete development of the parkway, as specified in the master plan submitted by Sid Lewin, was questioned. The Council felt funds expended for complete development of the parkway would not be in the best interest of the entire community.; therefore, phase development was suggested. Mr. Gray pointed out $77,000 would completely develop the parkway as designed, or $30,000 would substantially improve the parkway. Installation of a: blacktop path is es- timated to cost $12,900; lights have already been installed.. It was noted $55,000 is expected.from the subdivider /.developer of the area. The Council then agreed to adopt'the master plan for the parkway to be used as a guideline for development; however, they agreed the parkway should be constructed in phases with the installation of a blacktop pathway as the initial phase. A.resolution will be submitted to the Council for approval of this phase of construction when it is prepared for bidding.
