3.1 UPDATE ON PG&E’S POTTER VALLEY PROJECT
In July 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
accepted Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E) proposed
30-month schedule to prepare and submit a license surrender
application and decommissioning plan for the Potter Valley
Hydroelectric Project (Project), which is located along the Eel River and
diverts water into the East Fork Russian River providing water supply to
Sonoma Water. PG&E will continue operating the Project under annual
FERC licenses in the interim, but it remains unclear whether diversions
from the Eel River to Russian River will continue after decommissioning
of the Project. Sonoma Water and a collection of regional partners are
initiating a collaborative process - the Russian River Water Forum - that
aims to preserve the flow of water from the Project into the Russian
River while also fostering collaboration to support water supply
resiliency in the Russian River watershed. Santa Rosa’s Water Advisory
Committee (WAC) member, Councilmember Rogers, and Technical
Advisory Committee (TAC) member, Water Director Jennifer Burke,
have been invited to provide input on Santa Rosa’s perspective on the
future of the Project. Santa Rosa Water staff will provide an update on
the Project and next steps. The Council may receive information, ask
questions, discuss and provide direction regarding the future of the
Potter Valley Project to inform Santa Rosa’s WAC and TAC member for
participation in the Russian River Water Forum.

ROSA CITY CODE ADDING CHAPTER 10-22 LOST PROPERTY
BACKGROUND: The Santa Rosa Police Department does not currently
have a method by which it can dispose of lost or abandoned property
valued in excess of $250.00. While City Code 11-42 allows the

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final November 1, 2022
Department to dispose of toys, sporting equipment, and bicycles, the
Department is routinely forced to store other items which do not fall

Civil Code 2080.4 allows municipalities to create an ordinance that
would legally empower a City to dispose of items valued in excess of
$250.00.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Police Department that
the Council introduce an ordinance to amend Title 10 of the Santa Rosa
City Code by adding Chapter 10-22 Lost Property for the disposition of

city and county in the State of California 180 days after publication. The
new California Building Standards (CCR-T24) was published on July 1,
2022 and will take effect on January 1, 2023.
Similarly, every three years the International Code Council updates the
International Property Maintenance Code with the most recent update
occurring in 2021. Adoption of the International Property Maintenance
Code is at the discretion of the local agency. In addition, the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board North Coast Region recently
issued the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) Permit
and Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges from the Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems, NPDES No. CA0025054, which staff
will be recommending be incorporated into the Santa Rosa City Code
by reference.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Fire Department and

Sonoma Water. PG&E will continue operating the Project under annual

from the Eel River to Russian River will continue after decommissioning

14. REPORT ITEMS
14.1 REPORT - INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO THE SANTA
ROSA CITY CODE ADDING CHAPTER 10-22 LOST PROPERTY
BACKGROUND: The Santa Rosa Police Department does not currently
have a method by which it can dispose of lost or abandoned property
valued in excess of $250.00. While City Code 11-42 allows the
Department to dispose of toys, sporting equipment, and bicycles, the
Department is routinely forced to store other items which do not fall
under the categories set forth in City Code 11-42.
Civil Code 2080.4 allows municipalities to create an ordinance that
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report

City Council NOVEMBER 1, 2022
would legally empower a City to dispose of items valued in excess of
$250.00.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Police Department that
the Council introduce an ordinance to amend Title 10 of the Santa Rosa
City Code by adding Chapter 10-22 Lost Property for the disposition of
unclaimed lost property.

State amendments and California specific codes go into effect in every
city and county in the State of California 180 days after publication. The
new California Building Standards (CCR-T24) was published on July 1,
2022 and will take effect on January 1, 2023.
Similarly, every three years the International Code Council updates the
International Property Maintenance Code with the most recent update
occurring in 2021. Adoption of the International Property Maintenance
Code is at the discretion of the local agency. In addition, the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board North Coast Region recently
issued the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) Permit
and Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges from the Municipal
