The Santa Rosa City Council approved a group of consent items (14.114.5) that included a contract award for the Pine Creek Crossing HAWK (high intensity activated crosswalk), amendments to multiple professional service agreements, and the second reading and adoption of an ordinance amending Title 1 of the Santa Rosa City Code.

The clerk summarized the items: 14.1 is the Pine Creek Crossing HAWK contract award; 14.2 is the first amendment to a general services agreement with Green Tara Incorporated dba Clone Digital Print and Copy; 14.3 is the first amendment to a professional services agreement with Exela Incorporated for permitting and inspection software; 14.4 is a resolution approving the third amendment to a professional services agreement with DTA Public Finance Inc.; and 14.5 was the second-reading ordinance amending section 1-08 of the Santa Rosa City Code and adding section 1-09.

Public comment from Roseland resident Duane DeWitt urged the council to pursue grant funding for HAWK-style crossings at Burbank Avenue near Roseland Creek Elementary School and Roseland Accelerated Middle School. Director Hennessy (public works) responded that the city's active transportation plan includes more than 100 crossings of various types, with roughly 20 currently funded, and that the city expects to install dozens more over the next several years as funding is secured.

Councilmember Okrepkie moved to approve items 14.1 through 14.5; Councilmember Rogers seconded. The clerk recorded six affirmative votes (Rogers, Okrepkie, McDonald, Fleming, Ben Wheelos, Mayor Mark Stapp) with Vice Mayor Alvarez absent. The motion passed.
