City Council & PCDSA Regular Meeting — November 18, 2024
This was a regular meeting of the Petaluma City Council and Petaluma Community Development Successor Agency, held at City Hall. All seven councilmembers were present. The meeting included a proclamation recognizing Small Business Saturday, eleven general public comments, and two substantive action items alongside a full consent calendar. Note: the minutes list councilmembers Mike Healy and Dennis Pocekay as present, though these names do not appear on the known current council roster — their roles are recorded as stated in the official minutes.
General Public Comment
Eleven residents addressed the Council on items not on the agenda: Marie McClusker, Katherine Bobrowski, Jodi Johnson, Kay Poland, Kelly Walker, Janis Barker, Angeles Cruz, Jay Stuart, Tom Vorheimer, Tim Porteous, and Stacey Early. The minutes do not record the substance of their comments. Councilmember Shribbs also offered remarks during the Council Comment period.
Consent Calendar (Items 1–9)
The Council approved all nine consent calendar items unanimously (7–0), on a motion by Councilmember Healy, seconded by Vice Mayor Cader Thompson. These items included:
Approval of prior meeting minutes (November 4, 2024) and the tentative agenda for December 2, 2024.
Swim Center Pool Replastering: Awarded a contract to Burkett's Pool Plastering, Inc. for the replastering of the Swim Center pool.
Trash and Recycling Receptacles: Authorized purchase and installation of 20 dual trash and recycling receptacles from Victor Stanley through a cooperative purchasing agreement.
Transit Funding Agreement: Authorized the City Manager to execute a cooperative funding agreement with the Sonoma County Transportation Authority (SCTA) for the Petaluma Transit Expansion Project under the Go Sonoma Expenditure Plan.
Title VI Transit Update: Adopted the 2024 Title VI Program update for Petaluma Transit, affirming equitable and non-discriminatory access to transit services.
ERP Implementation Contracts: Authorized the City Manager to sign agreements with Strada Global, SpryPoint Services Inc., Plante Moran, and Nicholson Strategic Services to support implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Six fixed-term staff positions were also added — in accounting and human resources — to support the transition.
Stream Gage Grant Applications: Authorized staff to apply for California Department of Water Resources grants under the California Stream Gage Improvement Program (CalSIP) for monitoring locations on the Petaluma River, Adobe Creek, Washington Creek, and Willowbrook.
IT Department Reorganization: Restructured the Information Technology and Data and Systems Divisions by creating new job classifications (IT Technician, IT Analyst, Senior IT Analyst), revising the Business Systems Analyst classification, and eliminating the old IT Specialist I/II/III titles. Seven new position allocations were authorized while seven old ones were eliminated. GIS position pay ranges were also revised.
Vote: Carried 7–0
Item 10 — Mid-Year Budget Adjustments: First Reading of Appropriations Ordinance and Position Schedule Update
The Council held a public hearing and introduced an ordinance making mid-year changes to the city's FY 2024–25 operating budget. The adjustments authorize nine new position allocations — including a Management Analyst, GIS Analyst, Senior Management Analyst, Project Manager, Street Maintenance Worker III, two Utility Service Worker IIIs, an Administrative Technician, and an Accounting Technician — while eliminating nine positions or funding allocations, including a Housing Specialist, Senior Engineering Technician, Administrative Assistant, Senior Transit Planner, Transit Specialist, Street Maintenance Worker I/II, two Utility Service Worker I/IIs, and an Accounting Assistant. The companion resolution updates the city's authorized and funded permanent position schedule accordingly. Because this is a first reading, a second reading and final adoption will be required at a future meeting.
Vote: Carried 7–0 (moved by Vice Mayor Cader Thompson, seconded by Councilmember Nau)
Item 11 — Downtown Housing and Economic Opportunity Overlay Workshop
The agenda listed a public workshop on the proposed Downtown Housing and Economic Opportunity Overlay, which would involve General Plan and Zoning amendments (File No. PLPJ-2022-0015). However, the official minutes do not record any discussion, public comment, direction, or outcome for this item. It is unclear from the available minutes whether this workshop took place or was continued.
Key Takeaways
ERP system upgrade is moving forward: The city authorized contracts with four vendors and added six temporary staff positions to manage implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning system — a significant operational modernization effort.
Mid-year staffing reshuffles approved on first reading: The budget ordinance trades out nine positions for nine others, reflecting shifting departmental priorities; a second reading is still required for final adoption.
IT division restructured: The old IT Specialist classification series has been replaced with a new tiered structure (Technician, Analyst, Senior Analyst), reorganizing how the city's technology staff are categorized and compensated.
Transit and flood monitoring investments: The Council approved pursuing SCTA transit expansion funding and authorized grant applications to improve stream gauging on four local waterways — relevant to flood preparedness.
Downtown Housing Overlay workshop outcome unclear: The minutes do not document any discussion or direction from the scheduled workshop on downtown zoning changes; residents interested in that item should check future agendas.
