2 Council Member Canevaro~ concurred with Council Member
.. _.
.
3 Moynihan He noted other cities in the' County are looking of
4 Petaluma's proposed ordinance as one to model theirs after. He
5 stressed that Council Members are not ''in the pocket" of
6 developers and added candidates have to have money to run a
7 campaign. He indicated his willingness to move forward with the
8 proposed ordinance.
9
10 Vice Mayor O'Brien concurred with Council Members Moynihan
11 .and Canevaro.. He added Petaluma is leading the way and
12 Healdsburg, Santa Rosa and Rohnert Park are following Petalumq's
13 lead. He commented that even the Press Democrat has called
14 public financing a "failed experiment." He indicated his support for
15 fhe proposed ordinance.
16
17 Council Member Harris indicated that number one issue has been
18 the public financing portion and noted he has received several
19 emails regarding this issue. He added the dollar amount of the
20 contribution limit gives him heartburn, but his number one issue has
21 been addressed. He indicated his support for a Citizens Advisory
22 Committee. to perhaps analyze the pros and cons of both
23 ordinances.
24
25 Mayor Glass stated he has enjoyed working with this Council an'd
26 feels this matter has been a divisive issue that is displaced. He
27 indicated he feels it is too pad the Council is dealing with this issue
28 at this time - he would rather the City spend time on other
29 important issues. He added public financing money does not .lead
30 to junk mail and, in fact, he would not have .been able to run
31 without ,public financing assistance. He concluded by quoting.
32 statements from.: the Home. Builders Association Magazine with the
33 inference that they are buying, Council Candidates through
34 campaign contributions. ,
35
36 Council Member Torliatt stated she believes the original ordinance
37 created a more level playing field and that the proposed
38 ordinance in front of Council today does not enhance that one bit
39 and, in fact, takes the Council "ten steps backward." She, too,
40 commented on what contributors "think" their contributions buy.
41 She indicated that the community should have the ability to
42 choose someone and not be bombarded with stuff and/or
43 negative campaign mail. She indicated she is supportive of making
44 changes to the ordinance, but she is not supportive of the draft
45 that is before the Council this evening and will be voting no.
46
47 Council.llAernber Healy summarized that he concurred that public
48 financing is not appropriate at the local level, he did not see a
Vol. 39, Page 78 August 4, 2003
need to up the cap on contributions and indicated the ordinance
before the ,Council this evening, does not address a tw,o-year
elecfion cycle rather than a four year cycle. He added the $99
disclosure .threshold is a step backwards and he would .have:
preferred ;something in the rdnge of $25. He indicated he "would
not be supporting the ordinance:.

Public Input:
Larry Pane, Petaluma, addressed the City Council, expressing
concerns with traffic, congestion and pedestridn "safety: He
indicated he would like to see the. exact•~numbers in the traffic
study done, and expressed concern with the earth-moving
efforts currently taking place next fo tfle `project.. He questioned
why the Council is in a hurry to act on this project.
Council Member ,Torliatt questioned the: pond improvements
and Matt Hudson indicated they are complying with. the
Corona Specific Plan .document.
Mr. Heaton indicated the .grading currently taking place is in the
County's jurisdiction and has nothing to do with their project.
Council Member Moynihan indicated he was glad the
developer and staff were able to .sit down and work things: out.
He feels it should be a good subdivision and he is willing to
support it this evening.
Upon question by Council Member Harris City Council discussion
took-place regarding Brie of sight issues.
In response to questions ,by Council Member Can`evaro, water
accumulation at the rear of their project was also discussed.
Dan Heath, Project Engineer, indicated they will not be
contributing to the problems currently existing with the
Buckingham residents'' backyards, clarifying they .must contain
the water runoff of their own project.
Council Member Torlidtt noted she feels there has been a lot of
progress with this developmeht; but still maintains that she
would like to see seven lots along the rear of ;the Buckingham
residents and that there should be a restric ion for the ;pad
elevation of homes 1 = 9 to no more than 8 inches higher than
the existing Buckingham homes.. In reference to requested
roadway improvements by the. neighbors, sh`e voiced her fear
that with additional. ingress. and/or ,egresses being created
along Casella Way and~Yorkshire, it would result in more of an
impact for the residents with traffic coming from the Junior
College area through those neighborhoods. She indicated she
does not feel that the deu~eioper oe~staff~ has done a sufficient
job of educating the neighbors about the. traffic .model and
what they are basing their decision on. -She indicated she
hopes staff will be addressing speed limits~on Keisling.
