Mr uLa ii gave a p.reliminar -y report. on the method by which Santa ,Rosa
' now hai dles sewer extensions He explained that the financing .of the extensions
was done by means of a type of hybrid;= revenue,, general obligation bond, This
type bond is ,backed bye; (1� a sewer connection charge; (2) a potential sewer "'

Mr. Larson then went over g the material ,
- .- he had athered
asking various questions concernin sewer main extensions ..for the Denman area
,fin connection
with Santa Rosa°s method of financing water` main.extensions, ` remarking that it
appeared , to be very s imilar to Petaluma °�s pres:ent policy on the matter
Boat Harbor
Councilman Crinella - called. the Council" s attention to th_ e_ fact, that the
'specifications on the boat harbor did not require the contractor to guaranty his
work. by means of a maintenance bond° Inasmuch gas this type bond was - always
required of a contractor doing street work„ etc he could .see no reason why it
should not be requi on the boat harbor prolecto
Mr Amaral, Amaral Construction Coy addressed the Council noting that
an. State licensed contract°`
J y r was required by aw to guaranty'h'is work. Therefore,
he; ;believed the City's requiring such a bond was actually s,uperfluouso
The .City Manager was directed to check " nto this matter_°
