“Seeing none, then we're gonna go to our online comment, and I shouldn't have done this at the beginning, but participants on Zoom, can you either raise your hand or dial star nine by phone to indicate you would like to speak on this item? And I will ask our Zoom host whether anybody is raising their hand or dialing star nine.”

“Thank you. I don't know that I have anything new to add to what my colleagues just said. Again, the TDM policy seems like a no-brainer, given the feedback that we got. With the parking maximums, my concern there is only that we that you, that staff, who are the experts here, have a better sense for the impact on both the housing market and the development community, has the time to think through the unintended consequences. We want all kinds of housing here. And as one example of where this theoretically could have an impact, you know, we've long talked about wanting to have market rate…”

“I think we're good. Yeah, there's more fact finding that'll come back in the future. Any other questions from council? All right, let's open up the public comment. Let me see if I can do this correctly this time, because we're gonna do both in-person and Zoom comment. So if you are in council chambers, make your way to the speaker podium. And if you are online on Zoom, raise your hand or dial star nine by phone to indicate you'd like to speak. We're gonna start with in-chamber questions, then we'll go online. Fred, why don't we start with you?”

“Thank you, and I've already made my position clear here. I thank you for the work that you've done. I certainly support looking for ways to adjust our status quo and reach more people and do so more efficiently. I do think that as we talk about equity and as we talk about climate change, that we also just talk about the impacts on city culture that public transportation has. Santa Rosa seems to be at this cusp where we are suddenly, we're finally starting to think of ourselves as a big city. And if you look at bigger cities where people wanna live, they almost always have great public…”

“Thank you very much. All right, we're running a little behind, but we are gonna catch up. And we're gonna jump around the agenda a little bit. We're gonna do our first public comment on non-agenda matters. Then we are gonna go to our public hearing on vegetation management. And then we are gonna get to our main item for the evening, which is the ballot tax measure. So for those of you who are looking to make comments on any one of those items, we are going to quickly move through them. Let's start with item 14, our public comment on non-agenda matters. This is the chance for the public to…”
