14. REPORT ITEMS
14.1 REPORT - REVOCABLE LICENSE AGREEMENT AND OPERATING
MEMORANDUM FOR LIMITED VEHICULAR ACCESS FOR
EMPLOYEES OF TENANTS OF THE MUSEUM ON THE SQUARE
BUILDING, 520 THIRD STREET
BACKGROUND: The owner of the Museum on the Square (“MOTS”)
Building has requested City Council action to allow up to fourteen
employees of the commercial tenants of the MOTS Building to drive their
private vehicles into and out of the Transit Mall to access the privately
owned parking lot at the south side of the building (“Requested License”).
These employees would use the parking lot only so long as no residential
units are occupied in the project.
Because funds from the Federal Transit Administration (“FTA”) provided
80% of the funding used to purchase the 1986 quit claim easement, the
City must obtain FTA’s approval of the non-transit use of the Transit Mall.
That approval includes provisions that ensure the City maintains
continuing control over the Transit Mall so that the incidental use does
not interfere with transit use of the Transit Mall. Staff has requested
FTA’s permission for this incidental use and expects to receive a letter
from the FTA Regional Administrator in the next two weeks.
The revocable license (“License”) includes provisions for a biennial
review of the uses allowed by the License do not interfere with the transit
use of the Transit Mall; a provision that the License can be revoked by
the City if the City determines that the uses allowed by the License
interfere with the underlying transit purpose of the Transit Mall, but before
the revocation is made the City and Owner will work together to eliminate
the activity that interferes with transit use of the Transit Mall; an
Operating Memorandum that includes the requirements for the use of the
parking permits allowed under the License and describes the Owner’s
and City’s respective responsibilities.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report
Page 8 of 10

Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution, approve the
issuance of a License for limited vehicular access into and out of the
Transit Mall to access the surface parking lot on the south side of the
MOTS Building for up to fourteen employees of tenants of the MOTS
Building located at 520 Third Street and approve the Operating
Memorandum that addresses operational details of the License.

14.2 REPORT - EXTEND AND MODIFY CITYBUS INTER-OPERATOR
TRANSFER POLICY FOR SONOMA-MARIN AREA RAIL TRANSIT
BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa currently accepts inter-operator
transfers as a means to promote more convenient, affordable, and
seamless transit travel throughout the region. With the initiation of
Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) rail service in late 2016,
Sonoma County transit operators wish to include SMART as a party to
inter-operator transfers privileges. Staff propose to extend to SMART
riders the opportunity to transfer multiple times without paying an
additional fare within a two hour limit on CityBus in order to complete
their trip. CityBus would also extend this CityBus transfer not only to
SMART riders but also Golden Gate Transit and Sonoma County Transit
riders.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and
Public Works Department that the Council, by motion, extend
inter-operator transfer privileges to Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit
(SMART) riders boarding CityBus. It is further recommended that the
Council, by motion, modify the CityBus inter-operator transfer policy
allowing riders transferring to CityBus from SMART, Golden Gate Transit
and Sonoma County Transit to be issued a CityBus transfer which allows

15. PUBLIC HEARINGS
Public Hearing matters will begin no earlier than 5:00 p.m. or as soon
thereafter as the matters are reached on the agenda.
15.1 PUBLIC HEARING - TEFRA HEARING - LEISURE PARK, LOCATED AT
2185 OCCIDENTAL ROAD
BACKGROUND: Millennium Housing, the owner of Leisure Park
mobilehome park, has requested the Independent Cities Finance
Authority, a joint powers authority of which the City of Santa Rosa is an
associate member, to issue tax exempt revenue bonds in an amount not
to exceed $15,250,000 to refund outstanding bonds issued in 2007 that
were used to finance the acquisition and renovation of the mobilehome
park with 182 spaces known as Leisure Park, located at 2185 Occidental
Road, Santa Rosa (the “Project”). Refinancing at a lower interest rate
will enable Millennium Housing to build up its Capital Improvement &
Surplus Funds and pay off a loan made by the Housing Authority in the
amount of approximately $240,000, including principal and interest. All
financial obligations for the project are the responsibility of Millennium
Housing. The issuance of tax exempt, private activity bonds, even by a
joint powers authority, must be approved by the governing body in whose
jurisdiction the project is located following a public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and
Community Services Department that the Council, by resolution, approve
the issuance by the Independent Cities Finance Authority of tax exempt,
mobilehome park revenue refunding bonds in an amount not to exceed
$15,250,000 for Leisure Park, a mobilehome park located at 2185
Occidental Road.
