ment. Councilman Harberson reiterated Mr. Meyer's views of the City's posi-
tion and added he felt the open space required will be of future benefit to

POLICE DEPARTMENT-- Michael Shelton, Administrative Assistant to the
MANPOWER WORKLOAD Police Chief, addressed the Council requesting author -
STUDY izaton to purchase a reconditioned consecumatic time
recorder for $200 to implement the manpower workload
study. In order to compile police officer activity
data for the computer service, an officer would be required to report to the
radio dispatcher at the beginning of an activity. The radio dispatcher would
then insert a card into the clock for recordation of time. This procedure
would be followed at the end of an activity also. Mr. Shelton felt this is an
efficient procedure for compiling the necessary information.
The matter of a warranty on a" reconditioned time clock was compared with the
purchase of a new clock- -the reconditioned clock, $200, and a new clock,
approximately $340.
After a brief discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Matted, seconded by
Councilman Hilligoss, authorizing the purchase of either a reconditioned time
clock or a new clock for the implementation of the manpower workload study.
Motion approved by 7 affirmative votes.

improvements only. A two cent per gallon gas tax increase was suggested at
the meeting; however, Councilman Perry felt the Agency would request -a six
cent per gallon tax increase. Councilman Perry inferred from discussion at

assistance. Councilman Cavanagh advised the Council of S.B. 100 (Senator
Mills) proposing an increase in gas.tax from seven to eight cents per gallon.

tax rate of $1.30 per $100.00 for general purposes,
and $.32 per $100.00 for debt service, a total tax rate of $1.62 per $100.00.

levy; however,.City Manager Robert Meyer cited Charter Section No. 62 and
explained to the Council an ordinance must be adopted before the first Tuesday
in September levying the.rate.of taxation upon the assessed valuation of
property in the City.
A brief discussion followed regarding the 17% valuation increase determined by
the Sonoma County Auditor's Office, which, as explained by Finance Director

STATE PARK BOND ACT Director of Environmental Affairs Frank Gray requested
the Council consider applying for 1974 Park Bond Act
Funds for acquisition of property for park development
purposes. 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.

RES 47099 NCS
Memorandum to City Manager Robert Meyer from Director
of Recreation Jim Raymond dated July 17, 1975, re-
garding development'of East Washington Creek Linear
Parkway was submitted and filed.
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.

(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.
Resolution #7099 N.C.S. approving and accepting master plan for East Washing-
ton Creek Linear Park was introduced by Councilman Harberson, seconded by
Councilman Brunner, and adopted.by 5 affirmative and 2 negative votes. Council-
men Brunner and Perry voted "no ".
