from Council regarding lot setbacks, the amount of permeable and impermeable surfaces
proposed, and neighbors’ concerns regarding the project.
Greg LeDoux of Cotati, the project architect, summarized the history of the project.
Mayor Fox opened the public hearing.
Dave (last name not discernible) of 8686 Nina Court spoke in opposition to the proposal
because he believes that the lot sizes are too small, it would increase runoff into Cotati

December 12, 2007 regular meeting
Page 6 of 10
Creek, and because he has concerns regarding tree removal. He believes that the proposed
homes don’t fit in with the rural character of the neighborhood.
Phil Salazar of 8676 Nina Court indicated opposition to the proposal because he believes
that Cotati Creek would not be able to handle the additional runoff. He expressed concerns
regarding traffic and parking as well as safety and street damage during construction. He
believes that the houses are too big, and the lots are too small, and that the site plans are
incorrect.
Beth F. of Williams Street, Cotati, indicated agreement with the previous speakers
regarding drainage concerns.
Mr. Ledoux addressed concerns of the public speakers:
•
The proposed lots each exceed 6,000 square feet.
•
A sycamore tree and some Monterey pine trees are to be removed because they are
not suited to have near development. Tree removal would be mitigated with new
planting as indicated on the landscape plan.
•
Regarding the rural quality of the neighborhood, the proposed lot sizes are
comparable to existing lots in the adjacent subdivision. The proposal would be an
infill development which makes good use of existing infrastructure.
•
Current drainage from the site is not controlled. Drainage improvements on the
subject property organize direct the flow to a small retention area on the site and
then to the Cotati Creek; which, according to FEMA map, can theoretically contain
the 100 year flood, although the personal experience of the neighbors may indicate
otherwise.
•
Street improvements would be completed per Council direction. The applicant and
the neighbors are interested in deferring street improvements until other frontage
develops.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Fox closed the public hearing.
Associate Planner Giudice further addressed concerns of the public speakers:
•
She indicated confidence in the accuracy of the plans; two site plans prepared by
two separate professional engineering firms.
•
The applicant addressed drainage from the proposed development and staff will
continue to work with the applicant, the Sonoma County Water Agency and our City
Engineer to review more detailed plans as they are submitted prior to improvement
plan approval.
•
Two oak trees will be saved and protective measures will be put in place before
construction starts. The applicant will be mitigating for tree loss as required by
Cotati’s tree replacement plan and will also be planting 24” box trees as required to
City Council Minutes
December 12, 2007 regular meeting
Page 7 of 10
maximize screening and buffering of the proposed structures.
•
The submitted traffic control plan addresses construction traffic. Nina Court will not
be used for construction traffic.
•
Regarding the drainage from the hill behind the site, the applicant is required to
address drainage increase resulting from development of the subject property
development, and cannot be obligated to address drainage from other properties.
Responding to questions from the Council, Planning Director Woltering explained that the
proposed deferral of improvements would with the land. A deed restriction would provide
notice to future property owners of requirements, if any, that impermeable surfaces be used
in any future development of the site.
Associate Planner Giudice and Planning Director Woltering responded to additional
questions, indicating that drainage impacts to adjacent properties may be improved due to
the proposed improvements on this property. The Sonoma County Water Agency would be
responsible for clearing any debris in the creek itself that may be impeding water flow.
Discussion ensued regarding the proposed lot sizes, the proposed drainage improvements
and impacts of impermeable surfaces, the need for enforcement of conditions of approval,
deed restrictions to notify property owners of certain conditions of approval, and the
capacity of Cotati Creek during normal and extreme conditions.
Vice Mayor Gilardi indicated opposition to the proposal, but if it were approved she would
request a deed restriction as notice to future property owners of requirements, if any, that
impermeable surfaces be used in any future development of the site.
Councilmember Orchard also indicated opposition to the proposal. She noted her
appreciation of the greenpoint checklist; however she indicated agreement with the Vice
Mayor’s concerns regarding drainage and expressed concern regarding the proposal’s value
as infill development because it does not address the concerns of the neighbors.
Responding to further questions from the Council, Planning Director Woltering indicated
that the property owner would be entitled to construct a second dwelling unit. Per the Map
Act, the City can impose conditions on lot splits.
Discussion ensued regarding the impacts of the proposed project as compared to the
impacts of a second dwelling unit.
Council concurred to continue this item in order to allow the City Engineer to review it in
light of the drainage concerns, and to have the City Engineer present at the meeting to
respond to questions.
Moved by Vice Mayor Gilardi, seconded by Councilmember Guardino and passed
unanimously to continue this item to the second City Council meeting in January.

the Council.
Discussion ensued regarding utilizing the Building Official for increased enforcement along
the creek, enforcement times and days, whether to issue warnings at first and then citations,
bail amount, wording of the signs and the expansion and/or addition of dog parks,.
The majority of Council members concurred to utilize the Building Official for enforcement
and to place the dollar amount of the fine on the signs, and to postpone discussion regarding
the expansion or addition of dog parks in future General Plan discussions.
City Council Minutes
December 12, 2007 regular meeting
Page 9 of 10
Further discussion ensued regarding the amount of the bail, the location and number of
signs and whether to include pet waste infraction information on the signs.
City Manager Thompson responded to questions from Council and proposed a maximum
dollar amount to be spend on signage as a maximum and direct staff to place the signs as
they deem most effective.
Mayor Fox opened the floor for public comment.
George Barich of Cotati indicated concern about potential damage to signs that higher fines
would cause resentment, and noted that it can be difficult for people to report their friends’
dogs off leash.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Fox closed the public comment period.
Chief Steward responded to questions regarding how Building Official Woods would be
equipped and trained.
Councilmember Minnis expressed concern that the Police Department is selectively
enforcing, and in some cases, not enforcing the leash law. She supported increasing the fine
to $250 and installing signs that say, ‘leash laws enforced $250 fine.’
The majority of Council concurred on the following:
•
Raise the bail amount to be consistent with other Sonoma County cities,
•
approve the sign wording generally as recommended by staff but with the inclusion
of the dollar amount of the fine to the sign wording and to have the wording be
succinct and to the point.
•
Spend a maximum amount of $5,000 on signage
•
Have random hours of enforcement
•
Increase outreach about the leash law via the City’s website and including
information in water bills.

Item No. 9.6.2
City Council Agenda
Commissions, Committees, Boards and Task Forces
Subject:
Consider and Possibly Take Action to Direct Staff to Review and
Prepare Necessary Resolutions and/or Code Provisions to Grant
Each Council Member the Right to Select/Nominate Members to
Committees and Commissions under Certain Circumstances
Date:
January 9, 2008
Initiated By:
Dianne Thompson, City Manager
Written By:
David Woltering, Director of Planning
Recommendation:
Provide, as appropriate, direction to staff to review and prepare necessary resolutions
and/or code provisions to grant each Council member the right to select/nominate
members to committees and commissions under certain circumstances.
Background/Analysis:
At the June 13, and June 27, 2007, City Council meetings, the Council reviewed and
discussed the City’s membership appointment procedure to its Design Review Committee
(DRC), Community and Environment Commission (CEC), and the Planning Commission
(PC). The Council’s discussion included the possibility of modifying these appointment
procedures to allow individual Council members to select/nominate individual committee
and commission members. At the conclusion of the City Council meeting on June 27th,
the Council directed staff to bring this matter back to the Council for further discussion
and consideration at the beginning of 2008.
Existing City Appointment Procedures
The City of Cotati Municipal Code under Title 2 Administration and Personnel provides
the provisions for appointments and roles and responsibilities for the City’s Community
and Environment Commission and the Planning Commission (See the attached excerpts
from the Municipal Code). And, City of Cotati Ordinance 806 provides similar
provisions for the Design Review Committee (See attached). A summary of the existing
appointment procedures for these bodies follows:

City Council Agenda
Committee/Commission Member Selection/Nomination
January 9, 2008
Planning Commission (Municipal Code Chapter 2.16)
The Planning Commission is a 5-member body. The Mayor appoints the Planning
Commissioners, subject to ratification of his/her appointment by the full Council. If the
Mayor fails to nominate within the specified 45-day period, then any member of the
Council may nominate an applicant, who may then be appointed by a Council majority.
Community and Environment Commission (Municipal Code Chapter 2.20)
The Community and Environment Commission is a 9-member body. These members are
appointed by the Mayor, subject to an affirmative vote of the majority of the Council.
Design Review Committee (Ordinance No. 806)
The Design Review Committee is a 6-member body. The City Council makes these
appointments after receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission.
Standard practice is that the Mayor nominates, after receiving the presentation of the
Planning Commission’s recommendation. The full Council votes on the nomination; a
majority vote in the affirmative confirms the appointment.
Vacancies are advertised on the Design Review Committee, Community and
Environment Commission, and Planning Commission for approximately 30 days. The
local newspaper, community posting locations, community marquee, and the City’s
website are customarily used for advertising the vacancies. Standard City application
forms are made available and completed as part of the process. Informal, public
interviews are conducted before the Planning Commission and the City Council, as
pertinent.
Options for Modifying the City’s Appointment Procedures to Allow Individual City
Council Member to Select/Nominate Committee/Commission Members
1. Individual Council Member Selection without full Council Ratification
This process allows for individual Council members to select members for various
committees and commissions without ratification of the full City Council. These
appointments serve at the pleasure of the individual Council members as long as those
Council members are in office.
2. Individual Council Member Nomination with full Council Ratification
This process allows for individual Council members to nominate appointments to various
committees and commissions; however, these nominations require ratification by a
majority vote of the City Council. The appointments then serve for specified terms, and
at the end of the terms the individual committee/commission members must be re-

City Council Agenda
Committee/Commission Member Selection/Nomination
January 9, 2008
Implementation:
Should the City Council desire to modify the existing appointment procedure for
committee and commission members to allow individual City Council members more
individual authority with respect to the selection and retention of individual committee
and commission members, there will be a need to transition from the current procedure
that features the appointment of individual committee and commission members by the
Mayor, with ratification by the full Council. Staff has described two basic options above
that would give individual Council members more authority in the committee and
commission selection process. Below, a possible process for implementation of the
selected option is described.
Process for Implementation of the Selected Appointment Option
This implementation process would require approximately three to four months to
complete. Committee and Commission members would be notified of the action of the
City Council to implement a procedure that allows individual Council members to
appoint committee and commission members. There would be a formal recruitment
conducted by City staff for the full range of appointments for all three bodies: the Design
Review Committee; the Community and Environment Commission and the Planning
Commission. Existing Committee and Commission members, who would desire to
continue to serve, would be invited to apply. The recruitment period would be
approximately 30 days. The resulting pool of candidates would be made available to the
City Council members for consideration. Thereafter, at a City Council meeting, the
individual Council members would make their individual appointments to the
Committees and the Commission. It would be anticipated that these appointments would
serve at the pleasure of the individual Council members, so long as they serve. As
Council members would leave their positions, the process would be repeated.
Currently, the membership of the Committees and the Commission is as follows:
•
•
•
Design Review Committee (DRC) – 6 members;
Community and the Environment Commission (CEC) – 9 members; and,
Planning Commission (PC) – 5 members.
To simplify the appointment process, given that there are five (5) City Council members,
the membership of these bodies could be modified to be a “multiple” of the number five.
For example, the DRC could be reduced to five members, and the CEC increased to 10
members.
The above-mentioned three to four months for implementation includes the time required
to modify the City’s codes to allow for implementation.

Committee/Commission Member Selection/Nomination
January 9, 2008
Conclusion:
The information in this report is provided to Council to enable further discussion of this
matter. Should the Council decide to vary from it current codified procedures for making
appointments to the Design Review Committee, Community and Environment
Commission, and the Planning Commission, the appropriate City Municipal Code and/or
the Land Use Code sections would need to be amended involving noticed, public
hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council, as pertinent. The focus
of this information has been the City’s standing committees and commission. It is
assumed that the appointments to “ad hoc” committees and bodies would be an
appointment by the mayor, with ratification by the full City Council.

Following Council discussion, it was moved by Fox, seconded by Minnis, to direct staff to prepare
a draft ordinance to provide that if a Committee/Commission member is absent from three
meetings within a 12-month period, that member must, within 30 days, come before Council to
show cause; if that Committee/Commission member is absent from a fourth meeting in that 12month period, that member shall not participate in any Committee/Commission meetings unless
that member demonstrates/shows good cause to the City Council. Cause must be demonstrated in
this circumstance within 30 days or that member is dismissed.

5. Consider and Possibly Take Action to Direct Staff to Review and Prepare Necessary
Resolutions and/or Code Provisions to Grant Each Councilmember the Right to
Select/Nominate Members to Committees and Commissioners Under Certain Circumstances
(Director of Planning)
Mayor Fox recommended continuing item No. 5 to the next meeting.
Councilmember Minnis stated the initial reason for including this matter on this agenda was that it
went hand-in-hand with item No. 4, and she requested the item be considered tonight.
Planning Director Woltering gave a staff report and responded to questions from Council.
Mayor Fox opened public comment.
Robert Coleman-Senghor, 365 Amber Lane, stated having Councilmembers make appointments
would be a bad idea. He felt that ratification process should be by the Council and suggested
taking recommendations from citizens.
George Barich said he supported the action to direct staff to prepare the necessary resolution or
any code changes. He felt that commission appointments, and so forth, currently are politically
based and that should change. (Amendment approved at 7/11/07 Council meeting.)
Linell Hardy, 8171 Arthur Street, felt Council could do both: possibly have three members
appointed under the existing process and two appointed by individual Councilmembers in some
sort of rotation, with Council ratification.
Michelle Berman, Cotati, agreed with comments made by Mr. Barich. She said she did not feel
she would ever have a chance to be appointed to a commission under the present system. She said
there is no one on the Planning Commission who represents her viewpoint, which is to not develop
so quickly. She stated each Councilmember should have a choice so that all viewpoints can be
represented.
Mayor Fox closed public comment.

Vice Mayor Gilardi and Councilmember Orchard commented the present process offers
opportunities for the entire citizenry to apply for commission/committee membership. It seems to
work well and they did not feel it needs to be changed.
Councilmember Minnis said she feels that three councilmembers appoint commissioners and the
system is slanted. She recommended that appointments be made following elections by
Councilmembers elected or re-elected.
Councilmember Guardino felt the system should be changed.
Mayor Fox stated that he does not feel the process necessarily needs to be changed but can see
pros and cons for each method of selection. He stated that he is not ready to decide at this time.
Vice Mayor Gilardi stated that she would be interested to review methods used by different
communities.
Planning Director Woltering stated that he has researched the selection process in some other
cities and cited mixed experiences from those cities.
Councilmember Orchard said she is not in favor of changing the appointment process at this time.
Following brief Council discussion, Mayor Fox requested this matter be brought back in January,
2008, with staff presenting options for possibly phasing in individual selection of
committee/commission members by individual Councilmembers.

WHEREAS, the City of Cotati Land Use Code includes specific regulations for allowing the
Restaurant – Outdoor dining use in the public right-of-way in Sections 17.22.020, Table 2-3,
Allowed Land Uses and Permit Requirements for Mixed Use Corridors and Districts, and
17.42.130 E., Outdoor dining areas; and
WHEREAS, it is determined that outdoor dining contributes to a lively, inviting, and
successful dining experience for patrons, restaurant owners and the broader community
within the City of Cotati; and
WHEREAS, the current regulations in the Land Use Code that allow Restaurant – Outdoor
Dining require public hearings before the Director of Planning and the City Council in
addition to compliance with standard City insurance requirements; and
WHEREAS, there is a desire to streamline the process to allow outdoor dining at appropriate
locations within the public right-of-way within the City of Cotati, while assuring various
interests, including those of the City of Cotati with respect to minimizing/avoiding risk as
well as to assure the public health, safety, and welfare interests; and
WHEREAS, requiring staff-level approval of a license agreement/permit to assure
compliance with standard City provisions pertaining to insurance, layout, aesthetics,
maintenance, etc. for the Restaurant – Outdoor Dining use, in conjunction with other
standard requirements of the City of Cotati, instead of requiring a Minor Use Permit and
encroachment permit/license agreement involving the public hearing processes before the
Director of Planning and the City Council could assure compliance with important City and
community standards and interests and assure the public health, safety and welfare in a
significantly shorter timeframe; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the provisions of this ordinance are categorically
exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land
Use Limitations) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines in that
the Council finds and determines that the project is covered by the general rule that CEQA
applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity
in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to
CEQA. Adding and amending sections of the existing Land Use Code to modify regulations
on Restaurant – Outdoor Dining as proposed would not result in direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect adverse physical changes in the environment.

Consideration of a Resolution Approving the City of Cotati’s
Application for Program Year 2008-2009 Community Development
Block Grant Funds.
Date:
January 9, 2008

Dianne Thompson, City Manager
______________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Move to adopt Resolution No. 08-01 Approving the City of Cotati’s Application for
Program Year 2008-2009 Community Development Block Grant Fund.
______________________________________________________________________________
Background:
The City of Cotati has been a participant for the past 30 years in the Community Development
Block Grant program, a federally-funded function that provides monies to local jurisdictions for
projects. The City of Cotati is part of a county-wide consortium (excluding Santa Rosa and
Petaluma) that makes funding decisions each year, based on applications submitted by both the
public and member agencies.
There is required criteria that applications must meet in order to be considered for funding. The
projects must have some connection to meeting some identifiable need of the low-income
population.
Projects in Cotati that have been funded in the past include the Wilford Lane low-income
housing project (Burbank Housing Corporation), the West Sierra Avenue bus shelters and street
improvements, ADA access ramps for three parks, ADA access ramps at several key
intersections in the City, and the La Plaza restrooms, and the ADA Civic Center Remodel.
Analysis/Discussion:
Staff is proposing that the City submit an application for $140,000 for citywide ADA
Accessibility Improvements including installation of curb ramps and sidewalks. A listing of
proposed project locations is attached. We received $50,000 in funding last year for a similar
project.
The attached resolution will allow the City of Cotati to submit applications to the County for
both the ADA Accessibility Improvement described above. Typically, every city receives one
project each year.
Y:\DATA\GROUP\EVERYONE\CCREPORTS\2008\080109\CDBG.sr.doc
Financial Considerations:
There are no fiscal impacts to the City, since the grant will cover 100% of all costs for this
project.
Environmental Issues:
This project is exempt from CEQA. However, the County may need to prepare a NEPA analysis.

Consider and Possibly Direct Staff to do the following: 1) Prepare

in Support of the City of Santa Rosa’s Application for the U.S.
Department of Energy “Solar America Cities” 2008 Grant, and 2)
Participate in Solar Sonoma County Meetings

Written By:
David Woltering, Director of Planning
Recommendation:
Direct staff to do the following: 1) prepare and submit a Letter of Commitment to the
Department of Energy in support of the City of Santa Rosa’s application for the U.S.
Department of Energy “Solar America Cities” 2008 Grant, and 2) Participate in Solar
Sonoma County Meetings.
Background/Analysis:
A consortium of government and business organizations called Solar Sonoma County has
formed with a mission to promote the installation of solar photovoltaics and thermal on
public and private buildings throughout Sonoma County. In addition, a primary goal of
the group is to support the county-wide initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
(GHGs) by a minimum of 25% below 1990 levels by 2015. In fulfilling its mission and
keys goals, including the reduction of GHGs, the City of Santa Rosa as a member of
Solar Sonoma County is planning to submit a grant proposal to the Department of Energy
(DOE) to develop a county-wide Solar Implementation Plan. Copies of the draft outline
for this “DOE Solar Cities 2008 Grant Proposal” and the “Draft Outline for Formation of
a Solar Sonoma County” are attached.
The membership of Solar Sonoma County is requesting Letters of Commitment from the
local Cities and the County of Sonoma as well as other pertinent public and private
organizations in support of the application to the DOE for the “Solar American Cities”
2008 Grant. Important benefits of receiving the grant for local communities like the City
City Council Agenda
Solar Sonoma County
January 9, 2008
of Cotati would include technical research and support in reaching their GHG emissions
reduction goals. Staff has prepared and attached a draft Letter of Commitment for
consideration by the City Council.
Solar Sonoma County is still in the early stage of its formation, and its membership is
encouraging participation by all nine of the cities in Sonoma County as well as the
County. The organization is anticipating holding meetings at least once a month, and
hoping to have representatives from all of the local jurisdictions attend. The Town of
Windsor representative is Council member Deborah Fudge, and the City of Sebastopol
representative has been City Manager Dave Brennan. The time commitment, assuming
preparation, attendance and follow-up to the meetings is approximately eight hours a
month. The City of Cotati City Council should consider sending a staff member to
regularly attend these meetings. In addition, it would be appropriate to consider a
Council member attending these meetings, as well.

RE: City of Santa Rosa's application for the Solar America Initiative (SAI) Market
Transformation: SOLAR AMERICA CITIES 2008 GRANT
The City of Cotati fully supports the City of Santa Rosa's application for the U.S. Department of
Energy "Solar America Cities" 2008 Grant.
As one of the nine cities in Sonoma County participating in a county-wide initiative to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) 25% below 1990 levels by 2015, we see solar installations as
an important means to our goal. The City of Cotati intends to partner with the City of Santa Rosa
as a member of Solar Sonoma County to explore potential options and possibilities for a City and
Countywide solar implementation plan through the Solar America Initiative grant.
Creating a partnership with Santa Rosa to promote solar energy and expand Solar Sebastopol to a
countywide program will allow us to move quickly towards solar energy implementation and
greatly accelerate Sonoma County's progress toward its commitment to reducing GHGs. In
addition, the City of Cotati realizes the many other environmental and economic benefits
associated with renewable energy. We believe this kind of community-based initiative is critical
to fulfilling the DOE's strategic goal to promote America's energy security through reliable,
clean, and affordable energy.

DOE Solar Cities 2008 Grant Proposal
Project Description:
Develop a Countywide Solar Implementation Plan - based on the Solar Sebastopol
model but with many expanded capabilities. The plan will include participation by all the
cities in the county as well as the County (this may have to be amended depending on
which cities sign on). The work of Solar Sonoma County under this proposal will be to
explore many possible approaches and implement the ones that prove feasible and are
agreed to by all members. Benefits to the Cities and the County will include technical
assistance and research as part of the grant program and support in reaching their GHG
reduction goals. Possible elements of the plan could include:
I.
Policies and regulations
a. Standardize the solar permitting process among cities and the County
b. Develop a countywide REC Ordinance and other ordinances to encourage
solar
c. Assess and standardize existing regulations and codes that affect solar
installations in the various partner cities where possible
d. Develop consistent General Plan language to promote solar that can be
used in each local General Plan
II.
Incentives to address market barriers and encourage solar installation
a. Create a $20,000 fund (from this grant money) that will give an additional
local rebate of $500/home to the first 40 residents that sign up for solar
PV.
b. Analyze the potential for forming a countywide tax assessment district
similar to Berkeley's Sustainable Energy Financing District
c. Explore other financial incentives to reduce financial barriers to PV
installation
d. Partner with the Green Energy Loan program
III.
(get partnership
letter)
Outreach and education
a. Develop a Solar Sonoma County web site for outreach and education
b. Develop a direct mail campaign to promote solar
c. Produce a countywide Solar Fair to kickoff Solar Sonoma County and
educate and motivate the public
d. Produce training programs for solar installers, designers, and building
inspectors to increase the quality and standards of solar installations
e. Produce workshops for the public to educate them on how to go solar
f. Offer "post-installation" resources including workshops, mailings, and
online information to teach home-owners how to maintain their systems
and where to go with problems and questions
g. Develop and maintain a database of qualified LOCAL solar installers to
facilitate customer selection and boost the local solar economy.
P::!pp 1 1'7/1 i/n7
h. Highlight and make case studies of all city buildings that have gone solar
and encourage all the cities to solarize their public bldgs.
Main Deliverable: A Countywide Solar Implementation Plan with buy-in from all
member cities and the County. We should also develop "sub-deliverables" that will form
pieces of this plan as we go along and can put them on a timeline.
Technical Assistance
•
•
•
We request technical assistance in researching and developing local government
policies to facilitate solar installations and remove barriers to installation.
We request technical assistance in developing General Plan and other plan
language.
We request technical assistance in analysis of financing options available.
Partners that we need letters from - once we have their commitment, we can refer to
them in the grant as partners and even assign them tasks like they did in the Berkeley
grant:

Subject:
Receive and File Warrants and Audited Claims for November 28th, 2007 –
December 12th, 2007
Date:
January 9th, 2008
Initiated By: Jone Hayes, Director of Finance
________________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the warrants and audited claims (the A/P
Check Registers) as submitted.
________________________________________________________________________________
Background:
Warrants (checks) are created by City Staff in compliance with the following Municipal Code
Sections:
2.12.160 Expenditure control--Purchasing.
It shall be the duty of the city manager to see that no expenditures shall be submitted or
recommended to the city council except on approval of the city manager or his authorized
representative. The city manager, or his authorized representative, shall be responsible for
the purchase of all supplies for all the departments or divisions of the city. (Ord. 97 §7.9,
1968).
3.36.010 Expenditures--Compliance required.
All expenditures of city funds in connection with purchases must be made strictly in
accordance with the duly adopted budget, and in order that budgetary control may be
effectively exercised, the procedures in this chapter shall be followed. (Ord. 575 §1(part),
1992).
Discussion/Analysis
Warrants and Audited Claims listings (now identified as the A/P Check Registers) list all warrants
issued for the period indicated. Per Council action on July 11, 2007 all warrants are released as
they are created.
All expenditures of City funds in connection with wages and benefits and purchases of services or
materials are strictly in accordance with the duly adopted budget and / or Council actions amending
Y:\DATA\GROUP\EVERYONE\CCREPORTS\2008\080109\Warrants.sr.doc

by Department Heads.

for the period of November 28th 2007 – December 12th, 2007:
