1'7 engineering work to be accomplished under Federal Grant #AIP 3-06-0186-09. This
is aviation planning and engineering firm is the consultant that has assisted the City

23 link fence) and gates. The estimated cost of the engineering services for Hodges & Shutt
24 is $60,000.
25 This federal grant (AIP-09) was accepted September 3, 1991. The $468,000 AIP-09
26 grant plus the next minute item which is a loan for $52,000 are estimated to cover the

33 AIRPORT IIANGAR AND IMPROVEMENT LOAN
34 Resolution 93-32 NCS authorizing the City Manager to sign and submit four (4) loan
3s applications to the State of California, Department. of Transportation, Division of
36 Aeronautics for improvements to the Municipal Airport. One will be a loan to become
37 the "local match" for the AIP-09 project work mentioned in the immediately preceding
3s minute item. The improvements and financial obligations include: $52,000 as local share
39 of the AIP-09 improvements mentioned above and construction of Hangar Buildings 5, 6
4o and 7 for $820,000 for up to 33 hangars. Each building of the three will be constructed
41 with a different loan. The .loans will be repaid from hangar rentals. Currently there are
42 44 hangars which have enjoyed nearly 100% occupancy. It is estimated the interest rate
43 on these loans will be about 5.9 % until they are paid in ten years. Currently the city has
44 deposits of $400 each from 44 people for hangar rental space. It was noted that under the
45 current hangar rates, a deficit will occur during the early years of the loan repayment
46 schedule. This is only a temporary situation. The existing hangars are now generating a
47 positive cash flow under their loans.

-February 1, 1993
?i:
1 It was noted that there is a :good possibility that. the three (3) hangar building loans will
2 not be .available from the .State. In the previous State budget, the State Department of
3 Aeronautics lost the interest payments on their outstanding loans. The State used these
4 interest payments to balance the state budget this year.. The Department of Aeronautics
5 now receives only the principal on the; loan payments coming in to them. Therefore, they
6 most likely do not have sufficient funds to issue loans on the hangar buildings. The
7 Finance Director advised. that he most likely will come before the Council with. other loan
s sources for the hangars. Introduced by Carole Barlas, seconded by Jane Hamilton.

19 earn 80 % of the Petaluma median income.. The money will come from 19.84 Home
20 Mortgage Revenue Bonds that were issued by the Sonoma County Home Financing
21 Authority. The bonds have been paid and the various agencies have. received the
22 remaining funds.
23 Council comments included the following. There was some discussion to try. to rent the
24 house to someone in the 50 to •60% of median. income. Another thought was to eliminate
25 the deposits from the first and last month rental. Another suggestion was to have
26 someone other than the. city handle .the rental.. The cost of the work was questioned, and
27 the possibility of using donated labor was discussed.

45 Gaebler, Housing Department, will address the reversionary issue and bring the matter
46 back to the Council on the Consent Calendar.

34 Tom Furrer, who .represents the United Anglers and is also a teacher at Casa Grande
35 High School, advised the Council that there are people going door to door to obtain
36 support of keeping Lafferty Ranch open to the public. He said that, in many instances,
37 the people who answer the front door hear that both the United Anglers and Mr. Furrer
38 support their efforts. He was most emphatic in advising the Council that neither he nor
39 his students support any public access to Lafferty Ranch. because of the danger that would
4o pose to the United Anglers. project to bring Adobe Creek back to its natural function as a
41 fish hatching area. He passed out to the Council a copy of the information sheet the
42 "open the Lafferty Ranch to the public" group is utilizing.

22 COMPOSTING. YARID WASTE. WOOD WASTE DISCUSSION
23 Public Works Director Pat Miller had planned to review the proposed County Yard
24 Debris Composting and Wood Waste program, which. the County plans to institute mid-
25 year. There was a problem with the information that was sent to the Council so the
26 matter was continued to the next meeting.
27 MIID YEAR BUDGET REVIEW
2s The Finance Director went. over the budget at mid-year. The City is showing a shortage
29 of 0.4% in revenue. City Manager .Scharer advised the budget is balanced precariously.
3o The Governor°s most. recent message .to the cities is that the State will take all the AB-8
31 money. That is the money that the State "allowed the cities to have" after Proposition 13
32 was adopted in 1978, which. reduced property tax considerably.. For Petaluma that
33 amount in 1978 was $268,000: The State now says that amount is equal ~to nearly $1
34 Million, and the City owes that to the State. Mr. Scharer noted the City has already
35 given the State $312,000 from this year's budget. The latest amount of property tax
36 dollars it appears that the State wishes to take from Petaluma is $757,000.
37 Staff will be, bringing to the Council a list of proposed expenditure reductions. It will- be
3s important to have the citizens in on that. We are looking at revenue from sources such as
39 park maintenance and street lighting. He noted the Police and Fire Departments' budgets
4o exceed the sum of the Property Tax and Sales Tax revenues. He also noted that of the
41 property tax that a house valued at $200,000 pays,. the City gets about $-140 per year.
February 1, 1993
Vol. 27, Page 249
~ In March the staff will be back with some ideas to balance the next year's budget. He
2 reminded. everyone that the State did not adopt their 1992-93 budget until October last
3 year. Mr. Scharer noted that until the State of California makes some revisions to public
4 financing in general, there will be a funding problem in government statewide.
5 Vice Mayor Sobel noted that we need to talk to the people. He added, the message of the
6 City's situation is not getting through to the public. We need to determine how we are
~ going to explain the problem and what issues the people are going to have to deal with.
s SM®I~ING ®RI)YNANCE
9 The City Council reviewed the current smoking ordinance and looked at atwenty-minute
1o videotape of a television program about second-hand smoke. Sarah Coo, who
i i represented a no-smoking group, addressed the Council. John Records, of STAMP,
12 urged the Council to consider a complete ban on public smoking. Elizabeth Emerson,
13 Marin County Health Smoke Free Coalition, also urged the Council to ban smoking.
14 Kathy Hare of Petaluma opposes any further Council action on smoking prohibition,
~5 because it is an infringement on personal rights. Ron Phillips, Ron's Family Dining,
~6 presented a survey of clients of his restaurant. He noted that business owners are
~~ supposed to be hospitable to one group, but are told not to be hospitable to another
is group. He is opposed to a complete smoking ban. He presented a petition with 343
19 signatures opposing any change in the law.
20 Robert McGaughey, owner of Mister McGoo's, 1375 Petaluma Blvd. North, presented a
21 survey of clients who said they do not want a change in the City's regulations; 49
22 requested a complete smoking ban, 436 requested no change in the current regulations.
23 He showed the signs he posts describing that there is smoke in the area that may be
24 harmful. From his survey results, it seems to him the citizens are satisfied with the
25 current status.
26 Robin Montero, owner of Sonoma Joes said 20 - 30% of their business is from smokers.
27 Because she has had some very negative experiences with customers who do not obey the
28 smoking rules, she will not require her employees to deal with illegal smokers; she will
29 call the police instead. Let the non-smokers go to a restaurant with no smoking.
3o Margie Sturm - we used to eat in Novato until they banned smoking. Now they go
31 elsewhere to eat where smoking is allowed.
32 Jean Williams, 10th Street -used to smoke. As anon-smoker he doesn't want to go to a
33 restaurant where smoking is allowed. He supports government stepping in uniformly.
34 There needs to be anon-smoking area with very good ventilation. He really supports a
35 non-smoking ordinance.
36 Floyd Russell, 231 Wilson Street -second hand smoke is a dangerous pollutant. He
37 talked about children nearly dying from second hand smoke. Heart attacks are caused by
3s second hand smoke. In Petaluma you have to walk through the smoking sections to get to
39 the non-smoking sections of restaurants.
4o Jeff Harriman, McNear Saloon - it is really the customer's decision. He feels the
41 government that governs least, governs the best.
42 Matt Hudson, attorney representing Boulevard Bowl -the proposed ban on smoking could
43 cause a lot of revenue losses for the bowling alley and for the City. Perhaps there could
44 be some consideration of smoke banning for children until the bowling league time in the
45 evenings.

i Wes McCoy, works at the Buckhorn -there is new ventilation and -filtration at their place.
2 He disagrees that this would not hurt business. Please don't push us around.
3 Lee Heinz, Director of the Chamber of Commerce - we have heard deep concerns on
4 both sides of this smoking issue. If the Council proposes changes, please make them
5 available 'for review first. The Chamber will do what it can to provide information from
6 both members and non-members.
7 Charles Godell, Petaluma - He is anon-smoker. We spend a lot of time stopping vehicle
s driving activities that are against the law. There are more people dying. of lung cancer
9 than die of vehicle problems. He would like to see the owner of restaurants protected,
1o but he would also like to see our lives protected.
ll Diane Pellum, Petaluma -said her aunt who is a heavy smoker visits them on occasion.
12 It would be really nice if she could tell her aunt that restaurants do .not allow smoking, so
13 that when they take auntie out to dinner, it could be in a smoke free atmosphere.
14 Council comments: - Adults should have. a choice. There is opposition. to smoking in a
is family type restaurant where children are usually taken. We should take a hard look at
16 bingo playing facilities at the public schools.
i7 Side-stream smoke is a health hazard. We have a moral responsibility to help our
is children. We should get a consensus of the community. The question of ventilation is
19 rather compelling. Maybe there should be regulations that address having anon-
2o smoking, area for children. The Novato smoking ordinance, a copy of which was in this
21 meeting's packet, has treated bowling centers, and bingo halls separately. This is a
22 health hazard. There is a feeling that there should be some strengthening of the smoking
23 regulations.
24 Staff was .requested to obtain copies of the smoking ordinances from other cities so the
25 Council may see them. Staff was also asked to obtain more information on ventilation,
26 find out. whether persons can be in the same general area and not be bothered by side-
27 stream smoke.. Staff was also asked to determine the economic results for smoke free
2s restaurants, look at what other cities are doing, and talk to the Chamber for assistance.
29 BREAK 9:25 to 9:40 p.m.
3o Public Information Break -The television presentation for the public was Public
31 Information Officer Bonnie Bard :and Fire Chief Terry Krout who .discussed the January
32 20, 1993, minor flood episode, as well as general flood hazards in Petaluma, the flood
33 warning system, safety precautions, the need for flood insurance, property protection
34 measures, .the requirements for special permits in Flood Plain Zones and the importance
35 of maintaining the open. drainage system.
36 CARDRO®MS
37 Since the Planning Commission approved a 24-hour cardroom to be operated by the
3s Gaeirs, who own the P&G Casino, at Sonoma Toes Restaurant, the City has received been
39 a number of -additional applications for 24-hour cardroom operations received by the
40 Clty.
February 1, 1993 Vol. 27, Page 251
CARDROOMS cont' d.
2 Staff came before the Council to determine whether or not the Council wished to alter the
3 cardroom regulations to do one or more of the following: establish minimum separation
4 between cardroom operations; require more detailed application material; add more
5 stringent requirements for private security; establish minimum separations of cardrooms
6 from residences and schools; prohibit sale or transfer of the Conditional Use Permit;
7 establish a term for the Conditional Use Permit; establish an annual table or facility
8 impact fee to offset the increased burden to the Police Department. Staff was asked to
9 bring a moratorium ordinance to the Council at the next meeting. The Council asked
1o what sort of pressure the cardrooms will put onto the various staff.
11
CE A GUIDELINES
12 The resolution approving the revised Environmental Review Guidelines was continued
13 because a several page itemized letter commenting on the new CEQA Guidelines and
14 making certain change recommendations was delivered to the City just before the matter
15 was heard. The Planning Commission did not have the benefit of this information from
16 David Keller. The item was referred to the Planning Commission.
