at which we are consuming our natural resources and the
environmental impacts associated with the ongoing pollution of our
water, air and land. Zero Waste strives to reduce the amount of waste
sent to the landfill to zero. Zero Waste is defined as the conservation of
all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse,
and recovery of products, packaging, and materials without burning and
with no discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment

14.2 REPORT - SONOMA COUNTY ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
PROGRAM AMENDMENT FOR EXPANSION TO INCLUDE SEISMIC
STRENGTHENING IMPROVEMENTS AND WILDFIRE SAFETY
IMPROVEMENTS
BACKGROUND: The Sonoma County Energy Independence Program
(SCEIP) has been in operation since March 2009, providing a Property
Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing mechanism for local property
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 12 of 15
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final November 10, 2020
owners to make energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable
generation property improvements. SCEIP is administered by the
County of Sonoma’s Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector and
General Services Energy and Sustainability Division. SCEIP has
recently been expanded to allow property owners throughout the
unincorporated areas of the County to finance seismic strengthening
and wildfire safety improvements in addition to energy and water
improvements. For these additional improvements to be made available
to Santa Rosa residents, the Council needs to adopt a resolution
opting-in to the expanded portfolio of seismic and wildfire improvements.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and
Public Works Department and the Water Department that Council, by
resolution, 1) approve the Eighth Amendment to the Cooperative
Agreement with the County of Sonoma to allow property owners within
the incorporated area of the City to finance seismic strengthening
improvements and wildfire safety improvements through the Sonoma
County Energy Independence Program (SCEIP); and 2) delegate
authority to the City Manager to extend the term of the Agreement in
substantially the same form, provided that any such extension does not
go beyond March 31, 2030.

14.3 REPORT - REFUND OF WATER DEMAND FEE TO IDENTIFIED
MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTIES THAT PAID AN ADDITIONAL
IRRIGATION DEMAND FEE
BACKGROUND: While calculating demand fee factors for current
high-density multi-family development projects to assist with City
Council Tier 1 Priority, Housing and Affordable Housing, SRW staff
reviewed demand fee factors and discovered an additional water
demand fee (also referred to as capacity fee) was paid by some
multi-family residential developments since the new demand fee
structure was approved in August, 2014 by Santa Rosa City Council.
Some multi-family residential customers were charged irrigation demand
for a dedicated irrigation meter as well as an incorporated irrigation
demand by unit as defined in the Demand Fee Final Report. SRW staff
has identified all multi-family properties that paid dedicated irrigation
water demand and irrigation water demand incorporated in the per unit
fee, and calculated the correct demand requirement and corresponding
dollar amount, and is requesting approval to refund the per unit
incorporated irrigation water demand fee charges.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by Santa Rosa Water (SRW)
and the Board of Public Utilities that the City Council, by resolution,
approve a refund in the total amount of $545,674.80 for water demand
fees collected from multi-family units who paid an additional demand fee
for separate irrigation demand and authorize the Chief Financial Officer
to pay these refunds to individual properties from the Water Demand
Fee Fund.

14.2 REPORT - SONOMA COUNTY ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
PROGRAM AMENDMENT FOR EXPANSION TO INCLUDE SEISMIC
STRENGTHENING IMPROVEMENTS AND WILDFIRE SAFETY
IMPROVEMENTS
BACKGROUND: The Sonoma County Energy Independence Program
(SCEIP) has been in operation since March 2009, providing a Property
Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing mechanism for local property
owners to make energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable
generation property improvements. SCEIP is administered by the
County of Sonoma’s Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector and
General Services Energy and Sustainability Division. SCEIP has
recently been expanded to allow property owners throughout the
unincorporated areas of the County to finance seismic strengthening
and wildfire safety improvements in addition to energy and water
improvements. For these additional improvements to be made available
to Santa Rosa residents, the Council needs to adopt a resolution
opting-in to the expanded portfolio of seismic and wildfire
improvements.

14.3 REPORT - REFUND OF WATER DEMAND FEE TO IDENTIFIED
MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTIES THAT PAID AN ADDITIONAL
IRRIGATION DEMAND FEE
BACKGROUND: While calculating demand fee factors for current
high-density multi-family development projects to assist with City
Council Tier 1 Priority, Housing and Affordable Housing, SRW staff
reviewed demand fee factors and discovered an additional water
demand fee (also referred to as capacity fee) was paid by some
multi-family residential developments since the new demand fee
structure was approved in August, 2014 by Santa Rosa City Council.
Some multi-family residential customers were charged irrigation demand
for a dedicated irrigation meter as well as an incorporated irrigation
demand by unit as defined in the Demand Fee Final Report. SRW staff
has identified all multi-family properties that paid dedicated irrigation
water demand and irrigation water demand incorporated in the per unit
fee, and calculated the correct demand requirement and corresponding
dollar amount, and is requesting approval to refund the per unit
incorporated irrigation water demand fee charges.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by Santa Rosa Water (SRW)
City of Santa Rosa
