City Council & PCDSA Regular Meeting — September 9, 2024
This was a regular meeting of the Petaluma City Council that ran until 11:20 p.m. and included a closed session, a large volume of general public comment, contested consent calendar votes, and first readings of ordinance amendments. Note: The minutes list council members Mike Healy and Dennis Pocekay as present; these names do not match the known current council roster and may reflect interim or former members — the minutes are summarized as written.
Closed Session
The Council met in closed session to discuss three legal matters: a workers' compensation claim by Aaron Garihan against the City; anticipated litigation related to the propane industry's assertion that Petaluma's building electrification requirements (Chapter 17.09 of the Municipal Code) are preempted by federal law following a 9th Circuit ruling in *California Restaurant Association v. City of Berkeley*; and two existing cases involving aqueous film-forming foam (PFAS) product liability litigation.
Upon returning to open session, no reportable action was announced — with one significant exception: the Council directed staff to opt out of the pending PFAS settlements. This is a consequential decision, as it means Petaluma will not participate in current multi-city settlements against manufacturers of PFAS-containing firefighting foam and will instead pursue its own course in that litigation.
City Attorney Danly also noted during Council Comment that the City has filed a petition for writ review in the Court of Appeal to complete the dismissal of a legal challenge to the City's housing overlay.
Proclamations
The Council recognized Latino/a/e/x Heritage Month and honored the Petaluma Valley Little League.
General Public Comment
An unusually large number of residents — approximately 17 speakers — addressed the Council on items not on the agenda. The minutes list speakers including Sandra Shand, Kathryn Brobowski, Jessie Bradman, Jodi Johnson, Kay Poland, Lorraine Grundberger, Deborah Vitale, Tim Porteous, John Robbins, Adina Flores, Ellen Obstler, Nathan Spindell, Luigi Petri-Dove, Victor Perez, Dave Molador, and others. The minutes note an "NBAS comment" as the first item but do not detail the substance of individual comments.
Consent Calendar
Items pulled for separate discussion were the Tentative Agenda / Significant Agenda Items (Consent Item 2) and the Citywide On-Call Concrete Contract (Consent Item 6). The remaining items — meeting minutes, equipment purchases (asphalt roller for $60,225; adaptive traffic signal timing software for $76,252; bike lane sweeper for $180,682), the Treasurer's quarterly report, and claims and bills — were approved without discussion.
Vote on remaining consent items (1, 3–5, 7–8): Carried 7–0, moved by Councilmember Barnacle, seconded by Vice Mayor Cader Thompson.
Consent Item 2 — Tentative Agenda / Significant Agenda Items: This item drew public comment from Maureen Gotschall (who ceded time), Nathan Spindell, and Jessica Moses, as well as council discussion. The dispute centered on whether to include an agenda request memo. A motion by Councilmember Healy (seconded by Councilmember Nau) to adopt the item *with* the agenda request added failed 3–4, with Healy, Nau, and Shribbs in favor and Barnacle, Cader Thompson, Pocekay, and McDonnell opposed. A subsequent motion by Councilmember Barnacle (seconded by Vice Mayor Cader Thompson) to adopt the item *as-is, without* the agenda request carried 6–1, with Healy casting the lone dissenting vote.
Consent Item 6 — Citywide On-Call Concrete Contract: Public comment was offered by Nickola Frye and Jessica Moses. After council discussion, the item was approved.
Vote: Carried 7–0, moved by Councilmember Barnacle, seconded by Vice Mayor Cader Thompson.
League of California Cities Voting Delegate Appointment
The Council appointed a voting delegate and alternate to represent Petaluma at the League of California Cities 2024 Annual Conference. The minutes do not specify who was appointed.
Vote: Carried 7–0, moved by Councilmember Healy, seconded by Councilmember Barnacle.
Measure O Citizens Oversight Committee Appointments
The Council approved a resolution recommending appointments to the Mayors' and Councilmembers' Association to fill vacancies on the Measure O Citizens Oversight Committee. Measure O is Petaluma's local sales tax measure; this action ensures continued citizen oversight of those funds. The minutes do not name the specific appointees.
Vote: Carried 7–0, moved by Councilmember Barnacle, seconded by Vice Mayor Cader Thompson.
First Reading: Wastewater Strength Ordinance Amendment
The Council approved the first reading of an ordinance amending Section 15.48.040 of the Petaluma Municipal Code, which governs specific limitations on wastewater strength — the concentration of pollutants that industrial or commercial users may discharge into the city's sewer system. A second reading will be required before the ordinance takes effect. No details about the specific changes were recorded in the minutes.
Vote: Carried 7–0, moved by Councilmember Healy, seconded by Vice Mayor Cader Thompson.
General Plan Draft Policy Frameworks Workshop
The agenda included a workshop presentation and discussion of Draft Policy Frameworks for the new General Plan, intended to summarize community engagement results and gather council input. Note: The minutes contain no recorded detail on this item's discussion or outcome — it may have been deferred, or discussion details were not captured in the excerpt provided.
Key Takeaways
PFAS litigation: The Council directed staff to opt out of pending multi-city PFAS settlements, meaning Petaluma will chart its own legal course against firefighting foam manufacturers — a decision with potential financial and strategic implications.
Building electrification under legal threat: The propane industry is asserting federal preemption of Petaluma's gas ban ordinance; the Council discussed this in closed session but took no reportable action yet.
Contested agenda-setting vote: The Council rejected (6–1) an attempt to add a councilmember agenda request to the upcoming meeting schedule, with Councilmember Healy the lone dissenter on the final motion.
Wastewater ordinance advancing: A first reading was unanimously approved to update industrial discharge limits in the municipal code; a second reading is needed before it becomes law.
Infrastructure purchases approved: The City approved roughly $317,000 in public works equipment and software, including a bike lane sweeper, asphalt roller, and adaptive traffic signal timing system.
