14. REPORT ITEMS
14.1 REPORT - RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN
AMENDMENT EXTENDING THE TERM OF THE JOINT POWERS
AGENCY KNOWN AS THE SONOMA COUNTY WASTE
MANAGEMENT AGENCY
BACKGROUND: In 1992, the City entered into an Agreement with the
County and other Cities of Sonoma County to create a Joint Powers
Agency to deal with wood waste, yard waste, household hazardous
waste and public education. This agency became known as the Sonoma
County Waste Management Agency (SCWMA). The Agreement
provided for a term of 25 years. The current agreement is therefore
scheduled to terminate in February 2017.
Discussions have been underway for some time to determine if the
County and the Cities wish to extend the SCWMA. The parties had
numerous discussions including a presentation to the City Council in
June 2014 regarding a matrix setting forth various issues for discussion
of a proposed amendment. Any amendment would require the
unanimous vote of all members under the terms of the current JPA.
In light of the fact that agreement could not be reached on substantive
changes to the JPA, the agency is now proposing a simple amendment
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report

City Council MARCH 15, 2016
to extend the term of the JPA for one year with no other changes to the
agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager and City
Attorney that the Council authorize the City Manager to execute an
Amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement extending the term of the
Agency for one year to February 11, 2018.

14.2 REPORT - FISCAL YEAR 2015-16 BUDGET AMENDMENT
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this item is to request approval to fund a
number of projects during the current fiscal year. These requests have
been identified and prioritized by City staff as those that should be
approved and begin now rather than wait until the next fiscal year. Most
of this budget amendment is to fund one-time expenditures with General
Fund reserves, of which there is a sufficient amount to support the
requests. In addition, there are nominal requests for ongoing General
Fund and non-General Fund resources which can be supported under
the City’s current financial situation.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the City Manager and the
Finance Department that the Council, by resolution, amend the Fiscal
Year (FY) 2015-16 adopted budget and the FY 2015-16 number of
authorized positions as set forth in Exhibit A of the resolution.

(This item was continued from the March 8, 2016, Regular Meeting)
BACKGROUND: On February 2, 2016, Council declared by resolution,

rubbish upon property that such a public nuisance has been declared to
exist.
The City Council grants or overrules any such protests.
The City Council, then, by resolution, may authorize the Fire Department
to abate all weeds and rubbish on or upon private property within the City
of Santa Rosa.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Fire Department that
Council, by resolution, over rule any protests and authorize the Fire
