Top issues during term (20)
Measure K and City Finances
Measure K is expected to generate roughly $5.5 million per year for the general fund.
Water Meter Replacement and AMI Project CIP1918
The full package totals about $6.6 million, with the construction bid $1.76 million — nearly $1 million below the next bidder — plus a 30% contingency of $528,105; the city also risks missing a January 1, 2028 state water-loss compliance deadline.
Pool closures and staffing cuts from budget deficit
Five jobs cut, 18 positions frozen, and a $50,000 reduction to the special events budget.
Nonfunctional Turf Water Ban
Conversion could run from roughly $300,000 for mulch to as much as $3 million for native plantings, on top of minimal near-term costs to shut off irrigation.
Cost Recovery Fee System Overhaul
Illustrative year-one phase-in could bring in about $590,000 more in revenue; full targets would require $2.1 million.
Emergency Radio System Project
Adds about $380,758 to the project through a budget amendment and change order.
Copeland Park registration noncompliance and potential rent withholding
Enforcement would cost the board roughly $300 in staff time and mailed notices to about 194 residents — and under current rules the board, not the park owner, foots that bill.
El Niño Storm Preparedness and Creek Maintenance
Flooding historically damaged home siding at Rancho Verde; one resident reported paying out of pocket for French drains.
Review of the Mobile Home Ordinance and enforcement cost rules
Unchecked corporate acquisitions elsewhere have led to steep rent increases for seniors on fixed incomes.
Rohnert Park People Services Center Extension
Free tax assistance puts refund dollars and tax credits back in residents' pockets; a modest city or foundation investment could expand local sites.
Labor Negotiations (Closed Session)
Unchecked employee turnover and unfilled budget gaps could drive up costs or force service cuts next year.
Small Grants Program final report and unspent funds
Determines how foundation grant funds are distributed to community programs.
Rohnert Park–Cotati Regional Library closure and services
Paid by Measure Y funds and a state infrastructure grant, with the share of cost split between the city and the library system.
CenterCal Downtown Project at 6400 State Farm Drive
The city's $13 million property purchase and processing costs are reimbursed by the developer; no direct new cost to taxpayers was cited.
AEDs at City Parks
No cost figure is stated for the city — the fire district is leading the installation, with city staff helping mount the cabinet and provide power.
Roundabout Project and Casino Mitigation Obligations
$345,279 for outreach, within a larger multi-million-dollar mitigation commitment.
New Director of Public Safety hire
The position is already budgeted for FY 2026/27; his base salary is $255,661.05 plus a 9% POST stipend and standard executive benefits.
E-bikes and scooters on walking trails
Would require signage and enforcement resources; cost not stated.
Public Safety Staffing and Retention
Labor costs, overtime mandates and healthcare subsidies drive the city's largest general fund expense — public safety alone was $21.3 million last year.
RV Parking and Neighborhood Safety Near Mountain Shadows Plaza
