Questions & Answers

1. Please speak to the WalMart expansion issue.

Rohnert Park General Plan is the guiding document for WalMart expansion. Strict interpretation of the General Plan as it affects the expansion requires the policy makers to vote against the project.

2. What are your feelings about the combined police and fire duties and the financial cutbacks?

Police and fire services have become so complex that the concept of combined police and fire needs further study. Both require highly specialized professionals. The question is - is it cost effective to continue the concept? City Council must answer this question as the city struggles to emerge from the financial crisis.

Financial cutbacks are inevitable in this financial crisis. The City does not have any other options. The City has worked very hard to minimize the cutbacks and maintain high police and fire services.

3. Please give your views on the considered merger of Cotati and Penngrove.

The decision is up to the residents of Cotati and Penngrove.
