Rohnert Park City Council Meeting, April 28, 2026

The City of Rohnert Park held a City Council meeting on April 28, 2026, which included several procurement and infrastructure-related discussions. Key procurement activities involved the formation of the Redwood Crossings Community Facilities District (CFD) 2026-01, where the council adopted resolutions to establish the CFD, authorize a special tax levy on the developer, and conduct a landowner election. The special tax is intended to fund landscape maintenance and park services, with an annual payment of $1,666 per unit for fiscal year 2026-27, subject to CPI adjustments. Additionally, the council received an update on a proposed Enhanced Infrastructure Finance District (EFID) in collaboration with the City of Cotati, aimed at funding infrastructure projects such as affordable housing, street improvements, and transit enhancements through tax increment financing. The council discussed the timeline, potential revenue projections, and county feedback on the EFID proposal. Another significant agenda item was the adoption of the Rohnert Park 2040 General Plan, including certification of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and incorporation of amendments related to racial, social, and environmental justice, public art, and landscaping policies. The meeting also addressed public safety concerns leading to the closure of the Oak Circle pedestrian pathway to improve emergency vehicle access. The council approved the consent calendar and discussed future agenda items, including a potential tobacco retail licensing ordinance. Overall, the meeting focused on advancing infrastructure financing mechanisms, community development planning, and public safety improvements with several motions passed unanimously or by majority vote.
