Washington. He said this occurred over 21 years ago. The Council was advised by the
City Manager, who was Finance Director at the time this occurred, that a check was
issued by the City to Mr. DeCarli, but he did not respond to the City's attempts to
resolve the issue at that time. Mr. DeCarli asked why the City wanted to settle at $2.00
per foot when he heard of .others settling for 5 times more than that. Mr. DeCarli went
on to say, that he would be happy to "swap" the Dewey Street property for the

1 POLICE ACTIVITIES LEAGUE-INDOOR SHOOTING RANGE
2 REQUEST TO LEASE CITY PROPERTI'
3 Retired Police Officer Mr. Vil Ahola, on behalf of the Redwood.. Empire Police Activities
4 League, asked if the City would consider approval of their building an indoor shooting
5 range for their members. The suggestion. is to use City owned property located. between
6 Wilson Street and Edith Street which is;called Dewey Street. The 37,000 square: foot lot
7 is zoned Light Industrial which could allow an .indoor shooting. range with a conditional
s use permit. The .PAL would be required to go through the usual planning process to
9 obtain permission to construct such a facility.
to The City Council was advised there would be sufficient sound-deadening qualities. to the
11 building so that outsiders would not hear it. It was also noted that all pieces of equipment
12 are strictly controlled by the management of such. a place. Such a range operates under
13 very strict rules.
14 The purpose of the building would be to teach the members of the Police Activities
15 League, who are ages 10 to 20 with an all inclusive membership cost of $35/year, how
16 to use the equipment properly. The Petaluma Police Officers would then be able to do
17 their range practice at that same site, which would be a great savings to the Police
is Department. The City Council was advised that monies would come from the use of the
19 facility by other Police organizations.
20 It was suggested that time be allowed for residents of Petaluma to use the facility.
21 Victor DeCarli spoke against the application. He said lie had letters of opposition from
22 Petaluma Paint, David and Michelle Pyles, Sunset Line & Twine and DeCarli Butane.
23 He said he uses Dewey Street for the access route to his property.
24 It was noted there is no implication that the City would build this facility.

33 DISCUSSION OF ALTERNATE PROPOSAL
34 BUS SI-IELTERS
35 At the time the Transit Department asked for bids for bus shelters, one of the responses
36 they received was a suggestion from Gannett Outdoor of Northern California.. for a
37 proposed 10-year contract with the possibility of a 5-year extension to construct a
3s minimum of 10 bus shelters at mutually agreed locations. These bus .shelters would
39 contain advertising on the both the inside and the outside of the what the transit folks call
4o the "downside" of the bus stop. That would leave a clear view on the side of the bus's
41 approach.
42 Three representatives of Gannett were on hand. Mr. Lewis Lillian of Gannett presented
43 their proposal and answered the Council's questions.

2 They have 1,000 bus stops in San Francisco, 2/3 of which have advertising. Those with
3 advertising are in the core areas. The bus stops have a light and a telephone that is
4 outgoing only. If the City should wish to have telephones installed, that could be an
5 option. He answered affirmatively to the Council question, "Could someone utilize the
6 telephones for 911 with a call back?" The shelters are cleaned twice a week. It was
7 noted that this proposal came as the result of staff's solicitation of proposals to build bus
s shelters. Staff asked the City Council if they were interested in the proposal.

to staff to negotiate an agreement with Gannett Outdoor for construction of
