3.1 GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY AGENCY FORMATION UPDATE
The Santa Rosa Plain groundwater sub-basin covers an area of
approximately 80,000 acres and the majority of the City of Santa Rosa
overlies the sub-basin. The 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management
Act (SGMA) provides a framework for sustainable management of
groundwater supplies by local agencies and requires local agencies with
land use, water supply or water management authorities to form
Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA) by mid-2017. In Sonoma
County three groundwater basins, the Santa Rosa Plain, Petaluma, and
Sonoma Valley basins, are required to comply with SGMA.
In the Santa Rosa Plain, staff of Santa Rosa Water along with staff from
other GSA-eligible entities have begun meeting to discuss options for
forming the GSA for the Santa Rosa Plain Sub-basin. The GSA eligible
entities include local municipalities, the Sonoma County Water Agency
and Sonoma County. Staff will provide an update on the GSA formation.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Water Department that
the Council hold a study session discussing the progress in developing a
local Groundwater Sustainability Agency for the Santa Rosa Plain
Groundwater Sub-basin in conformance with the 2014 Sustainable

14.1 REPORT - EXTENSION OF PROCLAMATION OF LOCAL HOMELESS
EMERGENCY
BACKGROUND: On August 9, 2016, pursuant to the authority set forth in
California Government Code Sections 8630 thru 8634, Council, by
Resolution No. 28839, formally proclaimed a local homeless emergency
within Santa Rosa. Section 8630 requires that the Council review the
need for continuing the local emergency at least every 30 days until such
local emergency is terminated. On August 30, 2016, and again on
September 27, Council, by Resolution Nos. 28851 and 28863, approved
an extension of the declaration of local homeless emergency. In light of
the continuing conditions of homelessness within the city, staff is
recommending that the Council maintain the proclamation in full force
and effect at this time. Staff is also recommending the submission of
letters to our congressional representatives seeking support to change
the Continuum of Care Funding Formula.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and
Community Services Department that the Council, 1) by resolution,
approve an extension of Resolution No. 28839 which formally proclaimed
a local homeless emergency within Santa Rosa and 2) by motion, direct
the Mayor to submit letters to our congressional representatives seeking
support to change the Continuum of Care Funding Formula.
