7 PURPLE BERETS
8 EQUAL JUSTICE FOR WOMEN ANID CHILIDREN
9 The Purple Beret representatives addressed the Council about the need to consider
l0 strengthening the support for women and children who are subjects of abuse. This support
11 should be improved by law enforcement, district attorney staff, judges, and the public.
12 Speakers were:
13 Tanya Brannan -she noted there are 22 organizations which support these efforts. There are
14 real needs for (1) monitoring of the law enforcement personnel actions, (2) guidelines in
15 connection with follow-up of protective orders of the Courts, realization and guidelines to
16 protect victims from further abuse by retaliation of the perpetrator. It appears that when an
17 individual slugs at someone on the street, the issue is addressed in a straight forward manner
18 by law enforcement. But, when an individual gets slugged inside their home, there is a
19 considerably weaker law enforcement response. They have met with the Police Chief to
20 discuss these issues. A copy of a resolution adopted by the City of Healdsburg was also
21 presented to the Council for their consideration and adoption.
22 Marie de Santos -repeated their concern about the lack of both fluent Spanish speaking
23 police officers and the minimal number of women police officers. Within the last week, a
24 very well known athlete has been charged with spousal murder and this was used as an
25 example of how the criminal justice system has failed to protect women who have called for
26 police assistance and whose victimizer has received little rehabilitation direction or
27 assistance. One of the points of the Purple Beret group is to ask elected officials for their
28 assistance to alter the statrrs quo treatment of abuse victims. This type of violence has been
29 more or less condoned for a long time.
30 Beth Grimes - read a statement signed by her and her husband which she said is not meant to
31 be anti-male, rather it is anti-abuse. She asked if lives could have been saved if the
32 perpetrators of these domestic crimes had been subjected to penalties which are more
33 appropriate to the seriousness of abuse. She referred to the group who appears to be
34 opposing this issue, who say the Purple Beret goal is anti-male. It was noted the same
35 people who are opposing this also opposed Council action which supported increased
36 funding and research on breast cancer. What this group went on to do was to .say the
37 Council action was unfair and demanded that similar action be taken on prostate cancer for
3s equal time.. She concluded saying that if an action of this Council benefits women and
39 children, this does not happen at the expense of men.
40 Police Captain Dave Long noted the City of Petaluma has attempted to recruit officers who
41 are bilingual (Spanish) and/or female. Candidates who fall into either category area are in
42 demand and are solicited by other police departments as well. It is the pay schedule that
43 makes the difference.
44 Subcommittee -After some discussion, a Council subcommittee was appointed to prepare a
45 resolution to be adopted by the Petaluma City Council. The subcommittee is composed of
46 Chairman Jane Hamilton, Carole Barlas, and Ross Parkerson. This committee will meet with
47 the City Manager and Police Chief to discuss the issues.

1 TEEN PROGRAM STATUS
2 Recreation Director Jim Car advised that they are still .looking for a site to build a
3 skateboard park. The Recreation Department has a video showing the Santa Rosa, Palo
4 Alto, and Napa Skateboard parks: The City of Santa Rosa has addressed the liability issues
5 by creating a sign that says this may be hazardous activity, and certain protective gear should
6 be worn.
7 RES®. 94-154 NCS
8 WILLOW BROOK BRIDGE -BRIAN KANGAS FOULK
9 Staff brought the subject to the Council as a sort of "early warning system" action to alert
1o them of the potential of traffic congestion d'ue to construction of the new bridge on Old
11 Redwood Highway over Willow Brook. Construction will take place during the Summer of
12 1995. Several proposed detour alternatives were presented to the Council. No decision was
13 asked for on the traffic rerouting during the construction.
14 Resolution 94-154 NCS approving a contract with Brian KangasFoulk & Associates of San
15 Jose to prepare plans and specif cations and to provide construction engineering: services for
16 the Willow Brook Bridge located on Old Redwood. Highway northerly of Redwood Way.
17 The contract amount is $.166;755 (consultant's base fee of $139,255 plus Option 1 for
1s $27,500). Introduced by Jane Hamilton, seconded by Carole Barlas.

22 ANNUAL REPORT
23 INDUSTRIAL WASTE MONITORING
24 AND WASTEWATER IRRIGATION
25 Marty Swift from Wheelabrator-EOS, the operator of the wastewater .plant,. gave the
26 Council an update on Industrial Waste Momtormg and Wastewater Irrigation programs.
27 The Environmental Protection Agency started a pretreatment program. in T972 o protect
2s workers at sewer plants and sewer pipelines from toxic waste and other health hazards. It
29 was also formed to protect the wastewater treatment plant's biological processes because the
3o solvents and other chemicals can disrupt that as well as pass on into the environment.
31 Another part of the regulations was to keep the sewage sludge (now called bio-solids) clean
32 so it can have land applications such as composting.
33 His department. monitors commercial influent. He noted that both wet and dry weather
34 reports are generated. These include extensive sampling of the influent and effluent. of the
35 wastewater plant so they can gear their monitoring program to reduce the heavy metal
36 inflow.
37 Pollution Prevention -Now that the larger businesses which used to have problems with
38 their effluent are now all clear; Mr. Swift is concentrating on the smaller businesses. For
39 instance,. due to EOS help, the local dry cleaners have all cleaned up their effluent. The
4o work with the smaller businesses to clean up their effluent continues. EOS is also working
41 on the problems caused by the county drinking water which results in copper leaching from
42 the water pipes and ultimately going into San Francisco Bay.

1 There are other programs being instituted. They have created a brochure to submit to new
2 businesses which underscores the specific eflhtent materials that cause a problem. They are
3 educating the school children, who it is hoped. go home to educate their families. They have
4 a voluntary program called Sonoma Green for automotive repair facilities. It is a compliance
5 incentive program, where instead of using an enforcement hammer, if a business is in
6 compliance with all the environmental regulations, they can place a triangular sticker in their
7 window stating that they are in compliance with all State, County and City regulations.
8 Irri ag tion Dan Silacci reviewed the wastewater irrigation and noted the comple~city of the
9 .system. There are several soil types. Every irrigated field has more than one soil type.
to There are 46 separated fields. There are 60 gates that we must go through. There are 15
11 miles of dirt access road.to maintain. RAM averages 160 miles a day for the 173 day project
12 season. There are 9 tail-water recycling reservoirs that were built to catch any water running
13 off, so the water is recycled back onto the user's land.
14 There are 3 pump stations and pressure-reducing hydrants. There are. 60 miles of pipeline,
15 10 miles of which are forcemain to the smaller pipes. There are over 50,000 different pieces
16 that are assembled, from springs to washers to gaskets. These things have to be maintained.
17 When all those parts are assembled, there are 9,500 pieces of moveable, portable equipment.
18 In 1987, they started with 500 acres of land. Theyput out 373 Million gallons (1,146 acre
19 feet). Last year with the addition of 200 acres of land they put out 636 Million gallons
20 (1,952 acre feet) of wastewater effluent last year.
21 City Engineer Hargis added that when you account for the Adobe Creek Golf Course, last
22 year there were two billion gallons of wastewater went through the treatment plant one
23 billion was reclaimed or reused.
24 Vasco Brazil addressed the Council saying how much more treated effluent could be used if
25 the wastewater treatment plant system was more finely tuned from a secondary treatment to
26 a tertiary treatment.
27 RESO. 94-155 NCS

3o MOMENT OF SILENCE
31 PiJBLIC COMMENT
32 Tom Siragusa, member of the Citizen's Budget Committee - Measure E for the Police and
33 Fire Assessment was defeated on June 7. As a member of the Citizens Budget Committee, I
34 can tellahe public that there is no pot of gold somewhere that can take care of these critical
35 needs. There still is the need for Fire equipment and Police equipment. That has not
36 changed. The equipment is 30 years old; the Fire department needs to be brought into the
37 90's.
June 20, 1994
Vol. 28, Page 245
1 In the old West,. the, priorities were: the town doctor to take care of medical concerns, the
2 sheriff for public safety and the fire department. Those are the priorities, that are still needed.
3 That is what. the City has to get back to, taking care of just critical needs and moving away
4 from running our swim center, Park and Rec., or our Planning Commission. It is time for
5 the City Council to start looking into that. Other things for the people to consider are, do
6 we let the grass grow in the parks, or mow it less often, or shut down the swim centers or
7 other recreation areas that are not cost covering, or cut our Planning Department?
8 It's crunch time for the Council. You need to set your priorities. But, if this gets band-aided
9 over and these critical needs aren't met, then what? The next time around when you say to
1o the citizens that it was a critical need, is it going to get taken care of, or are you going to ask
11 them for more money? My concern is for public safety. It needs to be a priority in this
12 town. You have some tough decisions to make. Don't forget that you stated they were
13 critical needs. That hasn't gone away, and the money still needs to be funded.
14 Brian Hayes - he does believe that it is important to focus back on critical needs and meet
15 the basics. Regarding the Proclamation for Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual month, he felt this
16 was moving government into peoples' private lives and that is something on which he feels
17 government should riot be involved.
18 - COUNCIL COMMENTS
19 Ross Parkerson - On July 11 we are going to continue discussions of the Lafferty Ranch and
20 Moon Ranch issues. He hopes there will be persons there such as Mr. Pfendler,
21 representatives of the County Open Space and other people who may be part of the
22 decision-making picture.
23 - Regarding the Rainier Interchange -this is an issue the Council needs to decide on.
24 We need to set a date when we are going to talk about Rainier. All the information we need
25 to review is in staffs hands.
26 Lori Shea -agreed that Rainier should be discussed by the Council.
27 John Scharer, City Manager -noted the staff needs to know when the Council wants this to
28 be discussed. We need all Council members to be present for the Rainier discussions. It
29 appeared that July 18 would be a date when there would be a full Council.
3o Lori Shea - regarding a PG&E cost increase notice she received. She would like the Council
31 to go on record in opposition to the proposed increase. It was suggested that a
32 representative of PG&E could come to a meeting to discuss this.
33 Lori Shea -Jack Balshaw keeps trying to get the Police Dog available to the schools. The
34 City Manager advised the City has written to the schools advising the dog would be made
35 available. The schools advised they did not wish to do that at this time.
36 PROCLAMATIONS
37 Vice Mayor Nancy Read read a proclamation supporting I'oith Employment Week June 26
38 to July 2.
39 Vice Mayor Read read a proclamation proclaiming the month of June as Gay, Lesbian and
4o Bisexual Pride Month in Petaluma.

1 'T'REE C®MMITTEE REP®R'I'
2 Principal Planner Jim McCann reviewed the committee report. Don Waxman, Chairman of
3 the Committee, went into detail :about the Tree Committee -duties and goals. He noted they
4 are working on Municipal Code changes. He discussed their goal. for• the coming year - to
5 inventory trees. Maybe they can pick. one park a year and inventory the trees. They -hope to
6 input the tree inventory into the City's computer Geobase. Planner Teryl Phillips has really
7 worked.. hard with the committee. He noted there is no budget except for the allocation of
8 staff time. Ross Parkerson, who has been a Planning Commission member of the Tree
9 Committee,. noted there is going to be a workshop at Lucchesi Community Center on July
l0 23. July 20 is the next -Tree Committee meeting. Lori Shea felt there should. be some
11 consideration of trees on East Washington Street between Ellis Street, and Prince Park.
12 Mr. Waxman said he can. get 100 trees at no cost, and it is possible to obtain some- volunteer
13 workers to plant them. It was suggested that the Council needs to set :a policy and direction.
14 What can members of the Community .put together on this issue? Let's work on a
15 partnership. The more we can work together with all. the community resources, the more we
16 can get done.
17 Council asked that this be placed on an agenda soon.,
18 MEN AND WOMEN FOR GENDER JUSTICE
19 Malcolm Miller, psychologist and marriage and family therapist who also:- deals with
20 domestic violence issues. He was present. to share ideas. He shared how a therapist looks at
21 this kind of issue. He said anger can be either constructive or destructive. Destructive anger
22 can take forms other than physical violence. This type of anger can be shown as some form
23 of retaliation, trying to win, trying to dominate. People with this, feeling act on their own
24 and .don't participate in: cooperative actions. These forms of destructive ,anger have to be
25 looked at in addressed the issue, even the person's reaction does not show up as violence.
26 Another thing he would .recommend the Council look at in connection with this issue is a
27 cultural conditioning. Often times these reactions are unconscious. -Men are taught to be
2s warriors. In this. process; they are taught not. to feel; they are taught. to fight and to be
29 aggressive. Being a man is somewhat like learning to be a Marne ~s: Part of that process is
3o going out and learning to develop the. capacity to look at another human being and to kill
31 them without any feeling behind it. That is male cultural conditioning.
32 In dating there is another cultural conditioning. In this case men are encouraged to be a
33 protector, a provider, to take charge, to dominate, to have a certain amount of control out in
34 the world where they will be viewed in a favorable light by women when they do this.
35 The other thing that we need to look at is that women are taught to be nurturers and
36 caretakers, and often they feel responsible for the relationship. They may do things to take
37 care of it emotionally; they might accommodate in that situation, and as a .result of that
3s sometimes they end up being victims of whatever power struggle make take 'place between
39 men and women. Many times it is the conditioning that feeds into the domestic violence
40 situation.
June 20, 1994 Vol.-28, Page 247
1 Another type of conditioning that is very important in our culture is the "blame frame". It is
2 the win/lose, good/bad, or perpetrator/victim situation. Usually the first thing couples do is
3 to sit down and point to the partner and say, "It's them that is doing the wrong thing." And
4 the partner says the same thing. It's the other person.
5 It seems most people want to "blame" someone for what happens. This more we get
6 wrapped up perpetrator/victim thinking,•the more we are going to make a mistake in dealing
7 with this issue. Maybe society is the one that has taught-men and women to think in ways
8 that would cause this situation to occur. We need to change our cultural conditioning. I try
9 to get each member of a couple to look at his or her own behavior and take responsibility for
l0 their own behavior. It is not just men, it is also women. Don't place all the responsibility on
11 men.
12 Dr. Carolyn Baker spoke at length against the request by the Purple Berets' request for a
13 resolution supporting equal justice for women and children. She said women initiate
14 domestic violence. She wants membership on the subcommittee of the Council on this
15 subject.
16 Joe Manthy - He said his presentation would be another twenty minutes. After he was asked
17 to make his presentation five minutes long, there was a ten minute exposition about how
1s unfair this was. He spoke against the Purple Berets' equal justice for women and children as
19 it related to the Police.
20 REQUEST TO RECONSIDER DOGS IN PARKS POLICY
21 Recreation Director Jim Carr reviewed the Recreation Commission's recommendation and
22 the Council's action on the subject. Speakers were:
23 Diane Stevenson, a resident of the Westridge area -she feels the times dogs are allowed to
24 have controlled exercise in the parks should be restricted more; the dogs are chasing the
25 egrets; the native plants the neighbors have planted are being destroyed by dogs; the pooper
26 scooper law is not being enforced. Maybe you should use a tennis court because the dogs
27 would be somewhat under control, and the leavings would be visible.
28 Annette Davis -they have worked long and hard to accomplish this regulation. We have not
29 had an opportunity to see how well this regulation will work. She asked the Council to
30 allow the dog regulations to be put in place for 3 or 4 months and then review it.
31 Hugh Stevenson, Westridge - he has tried to lay low, but he has been castigated by some of
32 the dog owners who pay no attention to any kind of regulations for their pets. He has never
33 seen apooper-scooper out in the parks or anywhere else for that matter. Enforcement of
34 this issue has to be brought to the fore.
35 Council suggestions were to reduce the hours with the thought in mind that parents begin to
36 take their children to the parks about 9:00 a.m. Since the hours are not uniform, people
37 would not be able to remember which times dogs are allowed to run in each park. Staff will
38 revised the "dogs in parks" hours and bring the matter back to the Council.

41 NEW SEWER PLANT -PROCUREMENT APPROACH
42 Resolution 94-156 NCS approving wastewater facility procurement approach. After
43 detailed review by the Wastewater Facility Citizens' Committee, it was recommended that
44 the Council enter into a "Service Agreement Delivery" approach for the new

Page 248, Vol. 28 Junc 21I, 1994
1 wastewater facility. That will provide for the design, construction, ownership,. operation and
2 possible financing of the new facility "by a single private firm. Members of the Citizens
3 Committee Bill White, Matt Maguire and Ralph Sartori addressed the Council. to explain the
4 process. Former committee member Ned Orrett was introduced and thanked for all his
5 input. u.d.d - ~~- l.~ ibli. rl G
6 There was discussion of establishing a commission which would "be able to hold the
7 purveyor to task on an operating basis". The committee members noted. there. should be
8 public hearings on rate changes. They would have a broad overview of the entire system.
9 The City M_ anager said the commission would also be given the responsibility of water utility
to and perhaps transit.
11 The Citizens. Committee members said they would. be very happy to continue the .committee
12 until the new system- is in .operation, and, at that time, the commission would be put into
13 effect. ,
14 After considerable discussion, it was requested the resolution be amended by .adding the
15 following:
16 "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby directs the staff to bring
17 forward a draft ordinance establishing. a utility commission and to continue to seek all viable
is fiznding sources especially public ,funding for the various project components and where
19 applicable exploring the State revolving loan fund."
20 It was noted there are many things that would go beyond the service agreement such as
21 conservation, .irrigation, collection system maintenance, and infiltration.
22 David Keller addressed. some issues he felt should be included in the contract. He
23 congratulated the Sewer School participants, Council and staff for participating in this
24 process.. He also asked some procedural questions which would be applicable later in the
25 process.
26 Jean Gilmore noted there ace no cities in California of any size that have private systems. It
27 was noted. there is a session. of Sewer School on June 28. The resolution was introduced
2s by Carole Barlas, seconded by Ross Parkerson, with the stated amendment.
