they looked at various off-leash dogparks. “Based on what we saw, itappears an off-leash dog area is notlow-intensity. There is significantdisturbance to the ground and thesite, so we felt there would be asignificant impact.”

He explained that based on a bio-logical survey done in the 1990s,the grasslands at the park are es-sential feeding habitat for numer-ous song-birds. He also said theybased some of their decision on adefinition of “low-intensity,” usedeveloped by the Mid-PeninsulaOpen Space District.

The River Park was establishedin 1999 and recent improvementsinclude streambank restoration andthe installation of a kayak launch-ing area. It is one of the few areas inSonoma County that provides pub-lic access to the Russian River.

supporting micro enterprise forCommunity Development BlockGrant (deemed) eligible applicants.Councilmember Cox who is also akey volunteer for CAFÉ comment-ed, “We’re looking forward to put-ting some people to work.”

Carol Russell thanked Bob Cox,Jim Wagele, Rich Cowart and BillLeland, without whom CAFÉwould not have happened. “WestCompany has a personal attach-ment to this part of the world.These programs were held in Span-ish as well as English, and I don’tthink that has ever happened herebefore. What is produced for$25,000 [by West Company andCAFÉ], it is a bargain worth 7-8times that,” she said.

Other Council BusinessA second reading and adoption

of an ordinance determining thatthe city will comply with the Vol-untary Alternative RedevelopmentProgram took place. This ordinanceis also known as “Pay to Play” withregard to the state’s desire to takeback funding from redevelopmentagencies. The city Manager notedthat the City’s appeal as to the esti-mated required payment was suc-cessful in reducing the cost ofparticipation from $730,000 to$592,000 in the first year. The ordi-nance is on the city website so inter-ested members of the communitycan review it. There was no publiccomment on the matter, which wasapproved unanimously.

The Sublease and AmendedGround Lease Templates were dis-cussed under action items for theAirport Subcommittee. The en-deavor is a multi-phase effort tostandardize hangar and groundleases. The approval of the tem-plates is the last step including sub-lease for privately owned hangars.Counsel Eric Danly said one way oflooking at approval action is thatthe first amendment is a mecha-nism to prevent subleasing and forappropriate protections for the han-

• Cloverdale resident Don Greenaddressed council on the matter ofspeeders and stop sign runners onFranklin Street at the First Streetand Las Colinas intersections.About two weeks ago, for the sec-ond time in two years, his propertywas damaged by a hit and run driv-er. He would like better signageand some effort to slow down thetraffic. He pointed out that schoolchildren are especially vulnerableon Franklin. Mayor Wolter referredthe matter to the Public ServicesCommittee, saying Green would becontacted so he could arrange to at-tend.

• Nash Kunkle, Executive Direc-tor of the new nonprofit artist coop-erative Local Folkal, made a briefpresentation on the status of the or-ganization six months after a softopening of the store. That event, hereported, was attended in hugenumbers. With more than 30 artist-members, 90% of the art in the storeis made in Cloverdale. Kunkle en-couraged everyone to think of Lo-cal Folkal for unique holiday giftsproduced here and helping our city.Councilmember Russell pointedout that Sonoma Gazette will bedoing an issue on small shops inCloverdale and that she would di-rect the editor to Local Folkal.

• Brian Reck who lives at the cor-ner of First and Franklin wanted toreinforce remarks made earlierabout the bad driver problems onFranklin. They call the street “Fran-klin Freeway because you can’tcross the street without running.”He said younger drivers take thecorner especially fast. He wasthanked by council for improvingthe appearance of and visibility atthe intersection of First and Frank-

The AVA name Pine Mountain–Cloverdale Peak will be publishedin the Federal Registry in lateNovember. According to growersBarry Hoffner and Tim Ward, thenext step is get the growerstogether and launch the new AVA.Ward went on to comment that theAVA will be promoted within thewine industry which is alwaysinterested in new developments. Itis anticipated that the growerswould work with the chamber ofcommerce, city council and thelocal business community tojointly market the Pine Mountain–Cloverdale Peak AVA. It shouldprovide growers throughout theCloverdale area even morecredibility and prominence whenmarketing their grapes and wines.

Hangar owner Robin Andersonthanked the subcommittee mem-bers for working out leases that aresomewhat in line with other air-ports. She had concerns aboutprompt turnaround on approvals ofsubleases and whether she couldlease to someone who has yet topurchase a plane. The city has con-cerns that hangars be used for theintended purposes and not as com-mercial storage facilities.

It was unanimously agreed tomove forward with the Motion Or-der and to work out sublease con-cerns on a case-by-case basis. CityManager Regor recommended thatdetails should go back to the sub-committee so the Pilot’s Associa-tion can be involved.

Following up on business of theFinance & Administrative Subcom-mittee, city council saw a presenta-tion by city finance director DianaEdwards regarding recommenda-tions for updating city policy tomeet requirements of the Govern-ment Accounting Standards BoardStatement #54 dealing with FundBalance Reporting Changes. In aneffort to assure compliance, the cityhired a professional to assure all as-sets are listed in compliance.

The GASB, according to Ed-wards, is a quasi-government agen-cy that sets standards for allgovernmental agencies in the Unit-ed States. Its purpose is to improvegovernment finance transparencythrough standardization and byclarifying acceptable reportingmethodology. Among the changes,reserve funds will have a narrowerdefinition and city policy needs toassure all funds are assigned.

Community resident LaRevaMiles was interested in knowingthe “back story” and asked why thepolicy changes were being made.Regor responded that GASB is thepublic sector version of regulation,as opposed to private accounting.

On approving a PSA with WestCompany for CAFÉ:

• Rich Cowart, a founder ofCAFÉ said that it has actually re-quired about three years of donatedtime during which no CommunityDevelopment Block Grant moneywas spent. The group has built rela-tionships with the likes of CA Hu-man Development and otherS whohave supported their efforts. “A lotof work has been done by goodpeople and it hasn’t cost this city adime,” he added.

• LaReva Myles, a participant inCAFÉ’s Building a Better Businessclasses, decided to take the class af-ter relocating her business here be-cause it is different than other partsof the Bay Area where she workedin the past: “When the classes start-ed there were nine participants and

we’re down to a few left at the end.For future workshops, there couldbe more outreach so more peoplecan take advantage. I’ve been hereabout two years and have workedwith various non-profits with vary-ing degrees of success (volunteer asopposed to consulting). I want tothank Bob Cox, Rich Cowart andJim Wagele for having the foresightto help someone like me who wantsto expand my business in Clover-dale.”

• Nash Kunkle spoke on behalfof many artists: “I could only at-tend the first workshop but I wasimpressed by the information andeffort put in by West Company. It’sa real asset to artists. Thank you foroffering it.”

The community turned out in force for the Kleiser Park ground breaking. The project which started four years ago, was spearheaded by Joan Tillman andthe Rotary Club of Cloverdale. Through commemorative brick sales which will be part of the park landscaping, proceeds from the Asti Tour de Vine, RotaryFoundation funding and $10,000 from the city’s Quimby Act funds, over $90,000 was raised for park improvements. Bricks are still available for a limitedtime at www.kleiserpark.org. This effort involved cooperation between the school district, which owns the property, the city and the Rotary Club.
