BOARD COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Budget Committee: None.
Labor Negotiations Committee: To be discussed in closed session.
Station 2 Committee: None
DISTRICT COUSEL REPORT: Mr. Arnone reported he had received a call
from Ed Turner seeking information about how redevelopment agency
funds can be used. Mr. Arnone found that the Southwest Santa Rosa
RDA had made a $4.1 million grant for the construction of a fire
station. Since RDAs are created to assist with local infrastructure,
there appears to be no impediment to the Windsor RDA making a grant
to the District for construction of Station 2. It is not within the
scope of permissible uses of RDA funds to use them for operating
costs.
OPERATIONS REPORT: Chief Collier presented the operations report.
BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS/REPORTS: President McDowell reported on
meetings he and the Chief have had with local developers.
ADJOURN TO CLOSED SESSION: 8:30

Mr. Arnone reported agency negotiators had been instructed and no
further action was taken..

Director Doherty, seconded by Director Nelson, the meeting adjourned
at 10:01 pm.
NEXT REGULAR MEETING: Thursday, July 21, 2005, at 7:30 pm
Respectfully submitted,
Ron Collier, Clerk of the Board
