Part of the process will include improvements for accessibility, access to the river, and habitat. They are working with the City of Healdsburg, California Fish and Wildlife, and Syar to see how they can expand access to the river. Commissioners inquired about water safety due to local drownings, low water flow and the future of the dam. Tripathi hopes to see a collaboration between the groups since the Commission is in the process of developing improvements plans for Badger Park; the area has been considered as a potential river access site. City Staff will be working with the County to coordinate future meetings. Themig thanked Regional Parks for being the conduit that provides support for the opening/closure of park operations. 4.

    Attachment "A" SONOMA COUNTY AGRICULTURAL PRESERVATION AND OPEN SPACE DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE May 26, 2016 MINUTES 5:05 pm Meeting convened at the District office, 747 Mendocino Avenue, Suite 100, Santa Rosa, California Members Present Cary Fargo Bill Smith Laurie Gallian Jan McFarland John Nagle John Dell’Osso Sue Conley Steve Rabinowitsh Curt Nichols Members Absent Don McEnhill Jeffrey Holtzman Gary Wysocky Kristin Thigpen Doug Lipton Staff Present Bill Keene, General Manager; Sheri Emerson, Stewardship Program Manager; Kathleen Marsh, Stewardship Coordinator; Bob Pittman, County Counsel; Mariah Robson, Advisory Committee Clerk Chair Rabinowitsh called the meeting to order at 5:05 pm. Public Comment Duane DeWitt spoke about the Roseland neighborhood in Santa Rosa. The District has helped protect many areas of Roseland and Mr. DeWitt expressed his gratitude toward the District for helping this disadvantaged area of Santa Rosa. However, he feels that the City of Santa Rosa is not taking care of the protected areas to stay in a natural state, but instead are developing the land. He asked that the Advisory Committee and District staff help him and the Roseland neighbors to keep the parks and nature areas natural and undeveloped. Approval of Minutes Chair Rabinowitsh asked for the approval of the minutes. Bill Smith motioned for approval, and Cary Fargo seconded the motion. The minutes of April 28, 2016 were approved with one correction submitted by Laurie Gallian. She asked that in the announcement of the Mayors’ and Councilmember’s meeting, the wording should change from ‘will have Measure AA on the agenda’ to ‘will endorse Measure AA which is on the agenda’.

We’re already seeing these issues in Healdsburg- in the middle of a multi-year drought we had a major flood on Foss Creek on December 11th and today are right back into drought conditions. The source of vulnerability in our community is two fold - first, we channelized our creeks to make more room for buildings and second, we replaced permeable soils with concrete, pavement and rooftops. The hard surfaces cause rainfall on developed areas to rapidly move to under-sized creeks, carrying all the pollutants from hard surfaces right into our water supply.
