" 6 Dyan Jones - we appreciate your accepting the idea of a skateboard park. "You guys rule 7 our lives. You guys don't think we are sophisticated enough, that's because you don't let s us be sophisticated enough." 9 Toe Ramey -People kick us away. Players of other sports have a place to participate in io baseball, tennis, and basketball. We don't have a special place to ride our skateboards. i i It would be only fair to have such a place. iz.

RECONVENE and ROLL CALL 4o PRESENT: Nelson, Sobel, Shea, Vice Mayor Read, Mayor Hilligoss at ABSENT: Hamilton, Barlas a2 PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE a3 Supervisor James Harberson led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. February 22, 1994 Vol. 28, Page 149 ~~ i PUBLIC 'COMMENT z Supervisor Harberson advised the Council the County will be adopting a smoking 3 ordinance at their next meeting. a Regarding the proposed development south of town, there is no doubt the impacts on s Highway 101, sewer, water, and particularly on the green belt and the community 6 separators are just immense. I would ask that the Council put these feelings into a ~etien r~"u/ ~ and send it to the Board of Supervisors. The people who would do the most good are the ~~ s Federal Government. I would hope we could reach an understanding that this green belt 9 is not the place to have a huge commercial complex. io There will be a "mini train summit" here on Friday afternoon. We are going to have all i i the parties, North Coast Railroad Authority, Golden Gate Bridge District, County of iz Sonoma, County of Marin, with Assemblyman Hauser, and Assemblywoman 13 Braunschvag. We hope to get all of the questions answered so that we can settle on the is ownership of this right-of--way and we can continue with this acquisition. He also is thanked the Council for its support and for being helpful in acquisition of the TCI i6 monies. ~~ Charles M. Rivera, 844 Echo Court -spoke in support of the Invocation. If we are~going is to get rid of that, we should also get rid of the Pledge of Allegiance. That has "God" in i9 it. On top of that, take all the money out of your wallet. It says, "In God We Trust". If ao we can't have an invocation then we can't use the money. If you are an atheist and you zi don't believe in God, then the money is no good. 22 Jack Balshaw, 1680 Kearny Court -I'll ask my God to bless Irv Sutley, even though he 23 doesn't appreciate it. For Supervisor Harberson, the steel wheel is dead. We are Za reneging on our youth. In December I said, "Do .something". You took such strong and 2s forceful decision about doing something f^r +hP ~~~>>+h for the youth, I said. "Thank you." z6 What I'm hearing now is they have to decide what. they want before we come up with any 2~ money. I think Councilmember Shea has got it that no matter what they do, whether they 2s want dances, whether then want skateboard parks, whether they want anything is going to 29 cost some funds and I think there is no conflict whatsoever in the City Council identifying 3o a source and a range of funds and just say that's on hold. You folks have got to make a 31 decision on how you want it. Because otherwise what I see happening is I'll just say 3z jerking these people around for 6 or 8 months and then saying Oh My we don't have any 33 money. I would like to see you as you did in December make a commitment of funds. If 34 they can't come up with ways to spend it put it back where you got it from. If then can, 3s they know it's there. 36 COUNCIL C®N~MENT 3z Brian Sobel - I just learned the other day that David Allen, the Argus Courier report who 3s has covered our beat for 3 years is leaving us to go to Victorville to go to a large daily 39 paper and a greater opportunity. Public bodies have interesting relationships with the ao media. But all I think anybody ever asks is fairness and competency and hard work ai which is what is expected of public officials. And, I think that in the case of David as Allen, I would like to say that is all we have ever received for' three years.. So David 43 thank you and I wish you well in your future endeavors in the field of journalism. I as know you are going to do great and hopefully we will see you back here again some day. as Thanks. a6 Nancy Read -asked to see on the agenda at the next possible Council meeting to look at a~ the County's comprehensive tobacco control ordinance. It is time for Petaluma to look at as "no smoking in public places" . s!? ; :.' Page 150, Vol. 28 rear :=! ,. February 22, 1994 i Lori. Shea -asked that on a future agenda there be discussion of some kind of guidelines 2 especially for our historic downtown area on colors and. architect. 3 RESO. 94-36 NCS a MODIFYING PUBLIC :SAFETY ASSESSMENT s SUBMIT PROPOSAL TO BALLOT 6 Finance Director David Spilman summarized the proposed special public safety ~ assessment as follows: g 1. This would be a special assessment on all property to raise an estimated 9 $1,200,000 annually. ~0 2. The election on June 7, 1994, would be based on a majority vote to allow the City u to levy the assessment. ~2 3. Thee term would be ten (10) years. 13 4. These revenues may be used only to fund Public Safety .services, vehicles and is equipment that relate to the protection of real property. is 5. The annual- assessment on each parcel cannot be increased over fhe ten (10) year i6 term. i~ 6. The assessment will be reviewed each year by the City Council during the normal is budget deliberations. The assessment can be reduced. i9 7. The assessment allocations will`be reviewed and established annually during the Zo normal budget deliberations by the City Council. zi The speakers were Arnold Kaye who noted. the cost differential between submitting the 22 measure on the. June ballot ($25,000±) and the November ballot ($2.,500..±), and Jack 23 Balshaw who expressed his. fear that two or three years from now there will be a Za diversion of funds. So if you want to pass this issue,. please. assure. us that ,you will fix zs the percentage of the public safety budget at what it is now for the 'items that are included 26 in the budget now and that the total assessment will. be added to those figures, and that 2~ none of the money in the current Fire and Police budgets will be diverted to other Za departments. 29 There was some discussion that the Council might consider adopting a .resolution that 3o addresses Mr. Balshaw's fear. The City Manager suggested. this is something that would 31 be an. agenda item to discuss when the Council is working on the ballot argument to 32 reinforce the ballot measure. Utilizing percentages may .not work towards this end. 33 There was a great deal. of emphasis on the part. of Councilmembers on .the fact that they 34 feel the public should be given a short, understandable document which outlines the use 3s of this revenue, which assures the public that the use of these monies will remain with the 36 Fire and Police Departments, and which explains the monies will be utilized for Fire and 37 Police over and above the current budgeted amounts.

Kevin Walbridge of Emlire Waste ao Management Corporation gave an oral report on the efforts of the City in working at towards the Federally mandated provisions for recycling, referred to as AB-939. By a2 1995 each jurisdiction must have reached at least. a 25 % diversion rate of their waste 43 stream. Petaluma has exceeded that goal. The City has made available three garbage can as sizes to residents. 10,146 have chosen the 60 gallon can, 2,902 have chosen the 30 as gallon can, and 710 have kept using the 90 gallon can. Councilwoman Bonnie Nelson 46 was called home at 8:00 p. m.

The foregoing equals a 3 diversion rate of 21 %. In addition, commercial recycling and public drop-off centers a equal approximately 7 to 10 % diversion of waste.. s When the yard waste diversion was implemented last year, only half of the cost was s reflected in the garbage rate. This year the second half of 6.4 % became effective January ~ 1, 1994, Tipping fees have increased this year as well, a Questions were posed by Pamela Torliatt, Jack Balshaw and Marty Strauss.

Have the committee report back for action next January when 13 the Council would have the opportunity to decide what to do about bidding, changing the to contract, or other action. That would give ten months to really look, at that. Perhaps the is subcommittee could report back to the Council on an as needed basis with findings and i6 questions for the entire group to work, on.

The Planning 29 Commission denied the application fora Conditional Use Permit as a result of 3o neighborhood response at the Planning Commission. 3t The original application was fora 24-hour facility. The applicants proposed the operation 32 be from 6:D0 a. m. to 11:00 p. m. Sunday .through Thursday, and 6:00' a. m. to 12:00 p. m. 33 on Friday .and .Saturday. They proposed the drive through service function an extra hour 34 after the restaurant closes. The speaker order box would be turned off at 11.:00 p. m. 3s The Taco Bell representatives advised the Council that their franchisee at the East 36 Washington Street Taco Bell will be closed by the company in July. 37 Police Chief Dennis DeWitt -noted the Police Department. has experienced quite a 3s number of calls for response at the Taco Bell which is located on East Washington Street. 39 He noted that he can only judge by the ,current Taco Bell. The Police has met with the ao owners a number of times to try to alleviate the problems that exist, there. This at application for the Washington Square site mentions hiring off-duty Police for security. a2 Chief DeWitt said the officers in town no longer hire out on their off-duty hours. If a3 private security personnel were retained by Taco Bell, the Police Department would still as be required to~.respond to any disturbance and/or to arrest anybody. Some of the culprits as have no respect for police officers. February 22, 1994 Vol. 28, Page 153 i Regarding the right-of--way improvements on South McDowell, there would be a need for a a twenty-foot strip to widen the street on the northbound lane. 3 Speakers on behalf of Taco Bell's appeal included: a Ed Owen, Construction Manager Taco Bell - we try to be good neighbors. s We have proved that at other locations. 6 Hugh Murphy, architect - He showed an amended plan. The speakers ~ cannot be heard across the street because of the ambient traffic noise, with a the exception of late at night. There is a forth (40) inch concrete wall 9 which will reduce light glare and sound. Landscaping will also help. He io said the traffic report showed Taco Bell added a negligible impact to the i i McDowell and Washington intersection. They are closing some driveways i2 left from the old gas station. The gas tanks have been removed. The have 13 eliminated roof lighting and there are no odors. A bicycle lane could be is added to South McDowell by restriping. They would be happy to do an is acoustic study. i6 Mort Friedman, Washington Square Shopping Center - He said the gas i~ tanks were removed and they were given approval. He said that he doesn't is want a nuisance at his shopping center either. Taco Bell has assured him 19 they are going to operate a company store. He asked how one say that Zo~ ~~ Burger can o~ rate but not Ta~cpo Bell. 1'l~ r '~r~ ~~ ~~ ~~ 2~ ~iller, Safeway, In~a~ashington Square - we are expanding. We~,~,~,,,~ 22 need this because we are revitalizing the center. The day after the ` 23 initiative was issued, the Planning staff changed their stance on processing~~ Za of the application. (The Planning Director noted that sta„~`' recommended ,~,~cp Zs approval of the Conditional Use Permit until the Planning Commission ~_ , z6 altered that.) ~e 2~ Mark Friedman, Washington Square -there are three issues: traffic, noise-~ Za and security. The traffic. study was independent and not mitigation is s,~*~„~ ~~ „ 29 necessary. There is no evidence that the ordering machine would bother ;~~ 3o people 150 feet away from the machine. He doesn't want problems either. `~ 31 This will be a different operator from the one on East Washington Street; ~~ 32 give them a chance. ~~~~uu~ 33 Shami Sall, 4508 Harmony Place, Rohnert Park -this is not connected 3a with the Taco Bell on East Washington Street. Cutting back on the hours 3s should help. They have panic buttons and other security devices. 36 Allan Tilton, City Traffic Engineer -the traffic report talked only about Taco Bell and 37 the did not reference any issue of traffic. . . _ 3s The neighbor's concerns include noise, vandalism, youth gathering place after hours, 39 traffic, lights, loud automobile radios, fights, and gangs.
