Mayor. Putnam asked Councilman Cavanagh, a "member of the -Board of Directors' of. .
BASSA; to cominent,on the 'letter received from Supervisor McCorquodale.- Council-
ran Cavanagh stated; basically the,. question raised by BASSA is: the. division of
the $4.3 million grant.given.to 'the Assocation.of Bay Area Governments under
Section 208' of: the..Water. Pollution Control Act. The :proposed expenditure by
ABAG.of these funds is 70% for water quali y, 20% for. air quality, and 10% for

Councilman. Cavanagh stated. the, BASSA Board of Directors would be meeting.Novem-
ber.3, and the matter would be discussed... BASSA had allocated $10,000 for legal
fees for the suit, .arid as 'the. Agency- will no longer. exist after December 31,

DRIVE RESIDENTS:'RE 1976, to the -City Council from, the tenants' of` the
ARCO "TRUCK 'STOP Baywood Arms Apartments, 1136 .Baywood Drive, was read by
the City Clerk and ordered filed.
Community.Development and' ' .Services."Coordinator Frank
Gray advised 'the.. Council- he. had personally surveyed.the :site and found.the,
complaints- received by the Council.were justified. He.then reviewed the files
and,found the conditioris.of.the - site design review had not been met. The
s conditions of the site design review in 1968 . called for landscaping to be
installed, paving to`be.done,.fences to be erected, as "ll as other work. None
of this .has beern -ac mp ished. Mr.- Gray - also advised when he was at, the site`,
he discovered' °there was an'old bunkhouse being used for a retail sales opera-
tion. Mr. Gray indicated he then contacted Atlantic Richfield Company.and met..
with - '.Mr. Mitchell from Arco, who gave him the. following schedule:: Landscaping,
including screening, landscaping from Lakeville Highway, fericing.and low ground=
cover.lands caping,on the area to be completed by December 31, 1976. Soils
samples.will.be taken within the next .month' "and. preparations. made- for - paving on
the.site..: The paving. on .a't -ruck stop such as.this is not a minor item and the
subsurface has to be very substantial. Mr. Gray stated Atlantic Richfield - .felt
they -could not do'the- paving before the rainy.seas'on and it would be the latter..
part: of April. or ;early
in May ,before paving will be done.'
Mayor Putnam asked.that
the residents who had submitted the petition to the City
Council be advised of"the
schedule for the improvements to be made at the sub-
ject truck stop.

ADDITIONAL TIME TO . Element Guidelines proposed by the State Di- rector of
CONSIDER ' . Housing and Community' Development. This .legislative
RES #7568.NGS bulletin _ been: received by the City after the agenda.
for °this _:been finalized. In addition, the
City' ;s; Planning_ Director, .Ronald F. Hall, had, pr.epare'd a
memorandum directed to'. the City. Manager, copies; -'_of which had. be.en_, submitted ,: -to
the.0 ty. Council, regarding :tli'e revisions:. _ Both the legislat -ive bulletin ah'd'a.
copy of the memorandum.;are on file with the City Clerk.
Mr. Breninger stated some guidelines are being proposed by the.' administrative
staff of the: Housing:'and Community. Development..Division of 'the. State of Cali-
fornia,..and the, League', s:,B.ul let -in outlines:.the scheduling for the hearings and
the implementation of,- ,these regulations. The first hearing the'Council would be.
able to attend -.is November 8 in San written comments must be
received.by.the..Department - of Housing.and..Community Development prior to 5:00
p.m: on November. 15. 'The implementation of the, regulations is.- scheduled for
December -10. Mr. Breninger suggested-the-Council may want to -ask the Department
of Housing and Community.Developmen -t to allow additional time for consideration
of the proposed guidelines. He -then asked 'the .City 'Attorney comment on the
matter.
City Attorney. Matthew Hudson reviewed _the� League! s Bulletin. and st'ated:he felt
the.State Director of Housing.and Comm unity•Development .was a=role
which should lie with 'the State_ Legislature. The! guidelines also propp.se,.man-
dates each city must alleviate identified need.and remedy,the; housing problem,
however,, no_par,tnership' role. or responsibility would' be assumed by the Federal
or State '.government Tl'e League' bulletin ` feels the State Director of, Housing.
and'Comminity Development is going.outside his authority by issuing these
guidelines and-the League is of the opinion insufficient time has been allowed
for review and. , comment .
A motion was made by, "Coun'cilman.Harberson seconded.by Councilman Hilligoss
Z
to add the i em- regarding the Housing - _Element to the Agenda. Motion carried
unanimously..
Mayor Putnam suggested and it was. the consensus-of the Council, a resolution be
prepared 'requesting additional- time'fo the'-proposed. guidelines. She
further suggested th .City 'should' be represented at the ehearing. on. November 8` by '
a member of the staff and an elected official.
As.sistant.City Manager David Breninger said the City of Petaluma is probably in
abetter. position than California.ci.ties, because it has"adop.ted a very
good Housing,.Element:,.but other communities and counties may not be in that same
position and should have' ample time to review the guidelines.
Resolution #756,8 N requesting additional .time to.consider.the proposed
guidelines" regardinng the State Housing Element was introduced . by Councilman
Harberson, seconded by Councilman Hilligoss, and ado'ted'by 6 affirmative and 1
absentee votes. The resolution asked for an extension of time for comment on
the. proposed .� r l egulations, and to change the,. proposed date for promulgation of
said regulations to a time not - earlier than March 1, 1977.
