Westside Residential landscape and lighting assessments
The Adega neighborhood's annual assessment — $1,040 per unit, $76,966 total — was renewed for another fiscal year to fund landscaping and lighting obligations under the development agreement.
City brand refresh and .gov domain transition
The city showed off its refreshed logo — keeping the iconic sign mark with a modern, ADA-accessible font and a new 'Rohnert Park Green' palette — and confirmed the move to rpcity.ca.gov, live since July 1, two years ahead of the 2029 state deadline.
