12.1
REPORT - DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO
CAMPAIGN FINANCE REGULATIONS
BACKGROUND: Following the 2012 election, the City Clerk and the City
Attorney reviewed the City’s campaign finance regulations for needed
amendments and corrections. Recent changes to the Political Reform
Act also affect or conflict with certain provisions of the City’s campaign
finance regulations. In addition, the City Clerk and City Attorney have
received feedback and suggestions from members of the public and
Council members regarding proposed revisions and additions to the
campaign finance regulations, including suggestions for regulation of

for consistency and clarity the City’s campaign finance regulations as
contained in Chapters 10-32, 10-33, and 10-34 of the Santa Rosa City
Code; (2) reorganize Chapters 10-32 and 10-34 into one Chapter 10-32
entitled “Campaign Finance Regulations”; (3) address recent

12.2 REPORT - ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION - AMENDMENT TO
CERTAIN SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 10-40 OF THE SANTA ROSA CITY
CODE - MEDICAL CANNABIS DISPENSARIES
BACKGROUND: On November 1, 2005, Council voted 4-2 to adopt an
Ordinance adding Chapter 10-40, titled Medical Cannabis Dispensaries,
to the Santa Rosa City Code.
In 2011, the City Council created a medical marijuana cannabis
subcommittee that met several times with interested parties to consider
amendments to the ordinance requested by dispensaries and patients.
During that time, the courts reached inconsistent decisions regarding the
ability or limitations of local jurisdictions to regulate sale of medical
cannabis and the committee was placed on hold and did not come
forward with recommendations at that time.
The committee was reconvened in 2013 and heard from dispensary
operators and patient advocates regarding the need for changes to the
ordinance to accommodate the needs of patients. The proposed
amendment would address those concerns.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Medical Cannabis
Subcommittee that the Council introduce an ordinance amending certain
sections of Chapter 10-40 of the Santa Rosa City Code - Medical
Cannabis Dispensaries.

12.3 REPORT - ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION - ADDING CHAPTER 3-60
TO THE SANTA ROSA CITY CODE - DESIGN-BUILD PROCUREMENT
BACKGROUND: In 2012, the voters approved Measure S which
authorized the use of Design-Build Procurement subject to the terms of
an ordinance to be adopted by the City Council.
The City Attorney’s office reviewed design-build ordinances from other
jurisdictions and met with key stakeholders including representatives of
the Chamber of Commerce and the North Coast Builders Exchange to
obtain input on the draft ordinance. Input from these stakeholders was
discussed and incorporated to the extent feasible including a suggestion
that there be prior review by the awarding authority of the
appropriateness of utilizing design-build procurement on major contracts.
Major Contracts are currently defined as contracts in excess of $270,000.
The City Attorney also presented the proposed ordinance to the Board of
Public Utilities on November 7, 2013. The Board supported approval of
the ordinance with the protections built into the ordinance to provide the
Council and Board to have review of proposals to utilize a design review
Request for Proposals for major contracts.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Attorney that,
consistent with the direction of the voters approving the use of
Design-Build Procurement, the City Council introduce an ordinance
adding Chapter 3-60 - Design-Build Procurement to the City Code.

13.1 PUBLIC HEARING - BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES WATER,
RECYCLED WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE INCREASE
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 2014 AND 2015
BACKGROUND: Santa Rosa’s water, which includes the recycled water
system and wastewater utilities, are enterprise funds fully supported by
user rates and fees. The Santa Rosa City Council holds a Public Hearing
and sets utility rates biennially at the recommendation of the Board of
Public Utilities. The Board of Public Utilities passed resolutions at their
meeting on November 7, 2013, recommending that the City Council
enact the following changes to potable water, recycled water and
wastewater fixed and usage charges in order to provide sufficient
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report
Page 14 of 17
CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 7, 2014
revenue to operate the water and wastewater enterprises and fund the
Capital Improvement Program for 2014 and 2015:
· Extend the wholesale pass-through rate on water usage charges
for an additional 5 years as allowed by law.
· Increase the potable and recycled water fixed charges at a rate
that will result in the average single family residential bill increasing
by approximately 3% per year when combined with projected
pass-through usage rate increases. This results in a 5% increase
to the water fixed rate. This increase will help the water fund move
towards the Board’s goal of receiving 25% of annual revenue from
fixed fees in order to protect services and ratepayers from large
sporadic rate increases due to year to year water use variations.
This recommendation slows the rate increase schedule that was
passed in 2011 that would be needed to reach the 25% goal within
the two year time frame of this rate recommendation.
· Increase the wastewater fixed and usage charges by 3.5% each in
order to provide sufficient funds to operate the wastewater
collection system and wastewater treatment and disposal system
and fund necessary capital improvements and infrastructure
replacement and additional debt service for Subregional capital
improvements and to begin to build up cash funding for
Subregional capital needs to lessen the Subregional system’s
reliance on bond funding.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public Utilities
and by the Departments of Utilities and Finance that Council, by
ordinance, extend the pass-through wholesale potable water rate usage
charge escalator; an automatic wholesale recycled water rate escalator;
and increase water and recycled water fixed service charges by 5% on or
after February 15, 2014 and 5% on or after January 1, 2015; and, by
resolution, increase wastewater fixed service charges and wastewater
usage rates by 3.5% on or after February 15, 2014 and 3.5% on or after
January 1, 2015 to generate the required revenue to provide water and
wastewater services, fund the proposed capital improvement program
and pay existing debt service charges.

13.2 PUBLIC HEARING - ADOPTION OF FEES - COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT (CONTINUED FROM DECEMBER 10,
2013)
BACKGROUND: The Full Cost of Services Study for the Community
Development Department was completed in April 2013, and it outlines
the costs of the City’s development review activities. Many department
services are funded by fees, and the study includes the rate of cost
recovery for these services. The fee adjustment strategy under
consideration includes changing building fees to cost based system and
phasing in increases to Building and Planning fees over a three to five
year time frame. When the phase in is complete, building fees are
expected to recover 90% and Planning fee are expected to recover 75%.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Community
Development Department that the Council conduct the public hearing
and, by resolution, adopt Service Fee increases based on the proposed
Building and Planning Cost Recovery and Phasing Strategy.
