The largest and most important project facing the City of Cotati at this time is the writing of a General Plan for the City, The resources that the city has to draw upon are very limited with a population of under two thousand; eighty percent in a Im; bcome bracket and very few local businesses. Cotati must make the best of what it has. The problems the City faces are numerous. There are two w;1ich stand out as most important to the future of the City. The first being the necessity for a sewer bond issue to pass. If the bond SCHE:DUlE...___..., /"'0 ~ssu~ comin~ up on the next municipal election, on April 14, passes it will provide the necessary revenue for Cotati to fix the major defects in the Cotati sewer system, If the issue does not pass the f~IPA'{ ~ City may be dissolved by the State of California and then assessed SAlu~l>A'( MI\RCH 'l.Q -21 for the work on the sewers. It is extremely important for every rt,gistered voter, in Cotati, to vote in favor of the bond issue or you may be responsible for the death of Cotati. The second major problem fazing Coaiti is that of drawing up a General Plan. The City has received a grant from the Federal Government to draw up a General Plan with the assistance of a paid consultant. Overall plans must be made for utilities to be expanded, such as sewer and water services, Also a new .i:oning ordinance will be drawn up and hopefully, if the city is farsighted enough, an architectural control ordinance will be included in the general plan. NO COY£R, The Townsite of Cotati was planned in 1893 by ewton Sm,yth, The design is unique in that it is not only graphically beautiful but it is definitive and coherent in its simplicity, lNRU So we in Cotati must start with the City as it is and make it TuUtSl>AY better, Friends of Cotati feels that student participation in the 2t> - z.e development of a general plan for the City of Cotati is essential ~"-.c:.t~ but we a'so feel that much can be done to improve the situation in Cotati even before the general plan is formulated, One of the areas where improvement is definitely needed is in ~}l~~~~~t11(1it® • ~Nl>Wl Page 4 Page 5 tm at SSC Birth Co n.trol Asian Studies Gets It On Students wishing either to major or Courses will revolve around a core turn on to inner being Comes to Campus minor in Sonoma State College's unique course titled Seminar in India which will Asian Studies: India discipline can now be offered starting in Fall '70, said Dhesi.
