Proposal for a Regional.. Parking Management Plan submitted by Me'tropoli an Transportation Commission_'..is ,on-file with the City Clerk. Memorandum from Director of Com ; Devel o pment dated May 30, 1975, submitted and filed. u Director of Community Development Frank Gray explained the proposal to the.City 'Council stating the Environmental Protection Agency has set forth certain regulations regarding parking management and air.quality standards for the San Francisco -Bay Area which will become effective January 1, 1976. These standards will require that all.park ng facilities containing.more than 250 parking__.. spaces be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.o disapproval; not for review and comment. In this manner the Agency hopes to control possible complex sources of air pollution. Mr. Gray stated; however,_. there is an alternative to the above and that is for local jurisdictions to - control parking facilities for over 250 vehicles through a Parking Management Plan.. Plans have not as yet been developed because the regulations are new.and EPA has authorized the Metropolitan Transportation .Commission to.•prepar-e,typi- cal Parking Management Plans for various sized cities; MTC has contracted with Alan M. Voorhees and.Associates to prepare these plans and Petaluma_has.been selected as one of six cities to participate• in the plan. If.the..City is willing to participate it would be at no cost to the City. At the conclusion of Mr. Gray's presentation, Councilman Daly exp.r'essed some concern if the City of Petaluma agreed - to - participate in the plan would t.be subjected to more stringent controls "than other cities in the Bay Area. ~Mr. Gray responded by stating he had been assured the City would be protected, and although he does not have it in writing, the final approval or disapproval of the Parking Management Plan would'lie with. 'the City Council. He also stated in response to Councilman Daly's question, the total staff time would be approxi- mately.four or five man -days during the whole process. ;;�•:�: .. L Councilman Mattei expressed concern regarding the control various.governmental agencies were gaining over local jurisdictions and stated he.felt- the - Environ- mental P.r--otection Agency _could well-be the most powerful branch of government - in its control of cities. In the discussion that followed, it was agreed that by cooperating with- Voorhees' study the City would at least have some local input into the study which would reflect 'the problems of our own.community.- At conclusion of .the discussion, Director of Community Development .Frank Gray was asked to write a letter expressing the concerns viewed by the City Council and to get a response by letters with some indication if the City wanted to reject the plan they would have that option. Mr. Gray stated the cities in the vicinity participating in the plan include Walnut Creek, San Leandro, Cupertino, Vallejo, San Mateo, and, of course, Petaluma has been asked to participate.

BICYCLE SAFETY GRANT The Administrative Assistant to the Police Chief, Michael Shelton, reported that as authorized by the Council in January of 1975, the Police Department submitted an application for a Bicycle Education and Enforcement Grant with the Office of Traffic Safety.

The first year's funding would total $22,357 and the second year's funding $14,96.3 for a total amount.of $37,320. Mr. Shelton indicated it would be necessary, when filing the final grant, to file a.statement-of'1ntent to continue in the second year; however, the City.would have'the opportunity to review the program at the conclusion of the first year and if found not.to be worthwhile, would have the option of dropping it'. City Manager Robert Meyer expressed some concern:over the program because it woudl require additional manpower. Looking ahead to.the second year, if the program were successful and the department determined they needed manpower for other activities, priorities would, have to be established to determine which__ area was the most important because the City would have to fund of the Bicycle'Safety Program in the second year. Mr. Meyer further-repo ted the first year's budget, which is being funded by 'the'Office of Traffic Safety, includes the necessary equipment for_the program including a compact car.

REPORT RE SEWER Director of Public Works David Young reported.to the REFUND AGREEMENT, City Council Debra Homes, Inc., has petitioned the City WESTRIDGE SUBDIVISION Council enter into a reimbursement agreement for the sewer main extension built to serve Westridge Subdivision. Mr. Young explained the developer has constructed considerable off -site sanitary sewers. He further explained that at the,time the Council gave approval to the tentative map, or shortly thereafter, the developer asked if 'the Council would enter into a refund agreement pursuant to the ordinance to tahich the Council agreed. The developer has now petitioned for'the reimbursement agreement. Mr. Young described the off -site improvements and indicated the oversizing portion of the off -site sewer main could be reimbursable to the developer in the amount of $64,082,. This,could be paid by waiver of the $600 per home connection fees for the 104 units in Westridge #1, for two units in Westridge 442, and a portion of one unit in Westridge Unit #2 or a credit for that unit of $482..38. The developer has installed oversized sewer mains - -10 and 12 inch - -as opposed to the eight -inch basic size for a collection system. In addition, off -site and not within the tract, it is possible for property which fronts the 10 and 12 -inch sewer to connect directly into it as though it was an eight -inch sewer. The Code provides the developer can be reimbursed for. a fair connection charge to the abutting properties when and if.they connect. These would be collected over a 10 -year period and would be reimbursable only through that 10 -year period. The fees would be collectable once each year and payable to the developer once each year. The total maximum amount of these reimbursable charges would be $34,834. 470 June 2, 1975 REPORT .RE.

June 2, 1975 473 3 i HUD APPLICATION-- City Manager Robert Meyer asked permission from the HOUSING ASSISTANCE Council to add this item to the agenda because of the a PROGRAM urgency of the matter. A motion was made by Councilman Harberson „'seconded by Councilman Mattei, and approved / by 6 'affirmative and l.absentee votes, permitting the inclusion of this subject in the agenda. Senior Planner Dennis Boehlje advised the Council the City of Petaluma could be eligible.to apply for units under the Housing and Urban Development Section 8 allocation for existing housing rent subsidy for low - income people. 350 units have been allocated to Sonoma'County, 70 of which will go to Santa Rosa and 280 for the remainder of the County. City of Petaluma will be eligible for about 10% of the units if we wer& to apply under our Housing.Authority. Mr. Boehlje explained the Housing Authority is not responsible for finding the,units nor the eligible people to occupy the units, but this would be handled by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. There are three options open to the City.for application for eligible housing. One would be to allow the County to do all of the application work and not utilize our own Housing Authority. This would mean Sonoma County would file the application and the City would have to apply for the 35 units to which they would be entitled. The second option would be to have the City file the application and ask to administer the program through our own public housing agency. This would mean the Housing Authority would become a fully operative housing agency. The third option would be to have the City file the application, secure the 75 units, and contract with the County to administer the program. Mr. Boehlje explained the application deadline is July 7th, and he was asking the Council's direction in the manner to proceed. After a short discussion, it was determined the City would administer the program under the authority of its own housing authority if there were sufficient time to file the application. Mr. Gray explained would be a great deal of staff time involved; however, they- could direct their energies toward pre- paring the application and meet the deadline if the.Council so desired. He further advised the Council the City of Santa Rosa is now administering not only their own housing authority, but the County of Sonoma has contracted with the City of Santa Rosa to administer the County's housing program.
