of the City of Petaluma, California
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE COOPERATIVE FUNDING AGREEMENTS NO. G20400E1 (GO
SONOMA ROADS) AND G41300E1 (GO SONOMA TRANSIT) BETWEEN THE SONOMA COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (SCTA) AND THE CITY OF PETALUMA
WHEREAS, the SCTA Board of Directors adopted a Strategic Implementation Plan that sets forth its program
and implementation policies with regard to the use of funds provided under the 2020 Go Sonoma Act Expenditure
Plan and Ordinance (Go Sonoma) approved by the voters of Sonoma County on November 3, 2020; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Go Sonoma and the Strategic Implementation Plan, SCTA and the City of Petaluma
would like to enter into a Cooperative Funding Agreement to define the framework to enable the two parties to
work cooperatively in allocating funding for local road maintenance and related eligible work; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Go Sonoma and the Strategic Implementation Plan, SCTA and Petaluma Transit
would like to enter into a Cooperative Funding Agreement to define the framework to enable the two parties to
work cooperatively in sustaining and expanding transit services, and SCTA is committed to making available
reimbursement for expenditures, up to two percent of Go Sonoma Transit funding per Petaluma Transit’s formula
share, for Free Fare Programs; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Go Sonoma and the Strategic Implementation Plan, SCTA is committed to making
available quarterly payments to the City of Petaluma based on actual receipts of sales tax revenue and formulas
set forth in Go Sonoma in support of the activities outlined above; and
WHEREAS, the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (“CEQA”) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2), in that entering into cooperative
agreements does not meet CEQA’s definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for
resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change
in the environment, and because this action constitutes administrative activities of governments that will not result
in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Petaluma as follows:
1. That the above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution as findings.
2. Authorizes the City Manager to execute Cooperative Funding Agreements No. G20400E1 (Go Sonoma
Roads) and G41300E1 (Go Sonoma Transit) between the Sonoma County Transportation Authority
(SCTA) and the City of Petaluma.
Under the power and authority conferred upon this Council by the Charter of said City.
