Golden. Gate. Transit :district fora "Super Pass"
41 whi"ch wtll faeil,itate the .,passengers' transitions' between the various transit systems.
42 which are party to ahs understanding..
43 .Cost For instance,: at the current,:regular adult fare .structure,.:it would .cost a total
~ $68.00 for one- ,month unlimited ride"s' if one urchased a combination.. of Petaluma
45 Transit ($28.Q0) and Sonoma County Transit ($4,0.0,0). The •different transit, systems
~ have somewhat. different monthly fare structures,. so the monthly costs for use of
47 different combinations of transit districts would vary.
May 6, 1991 Vol. 26, Page 22.1
1 There is also a difference in definition. of "Senior' ; varying between ages 60 and 65.
2 Some transit.systems have a discount fare for students andsome' d'o not.
3 The County will administer the mail. order distribution of the Super Pass for the first
a year. Then the groggram will be evaluated to determine whether or not there- is
5 sufficient interest m the riding public to continue the Super Pass.
6 Student Discount -Fare Box Ratio The Council asked staff to look at a student
7 discount fare. Jim Ryan, Transit Coordinator, advised the Council the City's "fare box
8 ratio" will be impacted. The "fare box ratio" translates into an amount of revenue that
9 must be generated by paid bus fares.. The City's fare box ratio as required by the
1o Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is 14,.76% of the funding the transit
11 system receives. The .actual fare box revenue is only 12.1% of that funding. When the
12 transit system has. a lower fare box revenue than MTC requires, there are two options:
13 (1) the difference is subsidized. by the General Fund, or (2) the MTC funding is
14 reduced by the .amount of the shortfall. The.:.current annual shortfall is $11,240.00.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
11 - Michael Davis - is glad to hear our tax audit has netted us $177,000 in new
12 sales tax money. Regarding the Sonoma County Transportation Authority
13 intent to .go to the public for a Sales Tax increase for purchase of the
14 railroad right-of--way and apparent intent not to utilize the monies for
i5 other alternatives such as road improvements, he asked Brian Sobel to
16 have the .refer their alternatives to the cities for input. Brian Sobel noted
17 the referral to cities is exactly what the Authority has envisioned.
1s - Bonnie Nelson - (1) Welcome to each of you who has come to discuss
19 affordable .,housing (the Councilwoman asked for her words to be
20 translated to Spanish). She told the audience they are in the right place at
21 the right time. Keep: coming, back. (2) Read a letter from the third grade
22 class at McNear School. It described. a field trip to Thompson Creek and
23 the objects. the children found that `humans- should not have left. behind and
24 the wild life they observed. They asked the Council to save the creek, that
25 there be more garbage .cans in the area, that there be signage showing the
26 types of animals that live in the creek. The children offered to help. (3) A
27 request from' a student at Bernard Eldredge suggesting the City consider a
28 bicycle race track (as opposed to a skateboard facility) where young
29 children could ride regular bicycles legally. It was suggested by that
3o student that the airport area might be a suitable site. The Councilwoman
31 asked Parks and'Recreation to bring back some ideas for anon-motorized
32 bicycle facility. (4) Payless .Drug Store is caking about 20 parkin places
33 for their Spring plant sales. It is difficult. for her to shop there. ~5) The
34 sign that says' "Do Not Enter" at B & P Gas Station at North McDowell and
35 East Washington -she was nearly hit iecently by a tow-truck driver. She
36 had to make several phone calls to get to the: heart of the matter. 6
37 Motorcycles are till .parked by Water Street on the sidewalk. ~7~
3s Homeless singles have no roof over their heads tonight.
39 -. Lynn Woolsey - (1) Several- people have telephoned her regarding the
40 oor quality of the video transmission of the Council ..meetings. There are
41 fines runnm through the screen and the basic color coming over the air is
42 "green". The picture rolls. We. ought to do something to correct this... {2)
43 It seems like we have regulations in place that are forcing individuals who
44 live in the older homes on older properties to either illegally fix. their
45 properties, or .else when they come to us and they find that they want to do
46 sornethirig good, they cannot. She went on to describe a telephone call she
47 received last week. '

21 improvements- associated with„the new access or any improvements for turning movements
22 on Petaluma Blvd. North. shall be constructed prior to the issuance of the Certificate of
23 Occupancy for the Petaluma Factory Outlet Vllage".
24 Condition 30 Storm Water Detention and Cleansing Process The Council agreed
25 that it is imperative the storm water run-off from the hard surfaces is taken care of
26 without fail. It is the Council's direction that staff incorporate the storm water
27 detention and cleansing process in other future approvals for parking lots. This will be
28 a rigorous maintenance program that is signed off by the City Engineer each year.
29 The first storm produces somewhere between 80% and 95% of the undesirable
3o materials that drain into the river, it is this first slug that must be mitigated. The City
31 Engineer advised there will be a mandate coming soon. for an Urban Stormwater
32 Management Program which will require cities to greatly reduce the amount of
33 pollutants which drain into rivers and streams.
34 Methods A system of settling pond/detention basins can be utilized. Seasonally the
35 ponds are cleaned of the :settled matter and it is disposed of appropriately after an
36 analysis of the material and sedimentation to determine if there are heavy metal
37 contaminants requiring. it to go to more exotic land fill or,, if the sediment is free of the
38 exotic metals, it can go to a normal dump. Another type of treatment is by way of
39 vegetation absorption where the draining materials flow from the parking lot through
4o a grass filter that is similar to the parking lot drainage system at the Willits facility on
41 Industrial Avenue. During a drought period, flushing a parking lot before the first
42 rains to drive the pollutants into the catch basin won't work.' Dry system would be
43 used to absorb that material, which would then be swept up and hauled away.
