Pamela Torliatt
Absent: Samantha Freitas, Mike Harris
Pledge of Allegiance
Water Resources and Conservation Engineering Manager Margaret Orr
Mayor Torliatt noted that Council Member Harris had been called for jury duty
and was unable to attend today's Council Meeting, and that Council Member
Freitas was also unable to attend.
C. Moment of Silence
PUBLIC COMMENT
John Hanania, Petaluma, said he went to the City Clerk's office formally asking for a
formal investigation against Council Member O'Brien regarding the garbage franchise
process. He said that members of the public came to Council in January 2005 and asked
for this investigation. He learned that it has not been done. He believes this violates
multiple rules.
Bryant Moynihan, Petaluma, noted that in the Press Democrat, the City of Santa Rosa is
identifying a $5 million shortfall in their budget. He called this a "responsible course of
action." He said that he does not see this happening in Petaluma, which he believes also
has a shortfall in its budget.
COUNCIL COMMENT
Council Member O'Brien asked that the meeting be adjourned in memory of Jack Levar,
father of Petaluma Firefighter/Paramedic Jay Levar.
