City Attorney Tom Curry reported to the City Council at its May 21 meeting that he has met with tenants to discuss revisions to the ordinance which he will bring before the council when it next meets, on June 4.
He said while the draft operative ordinance will expire in June, they will bring about an extension at that time, so that there would be no gap. “I think everything’s going to work out,” he said. ‘There were some significant changes and they were discussed with the tenants and they will be discussed with the park ownership. The only thing crucial is taking a vote on the interim ordinance before it expires.”
Mayor Joanne Sanders expressed concern over the possibility of a lawsuit. Curry reassured her, saying, “I am very comfortable that what we are bringing you will be a valid ordinance.”
Sam DiGiacomo said, “You know what we need, as far as a city, and you know what the people want. So I hope two weeks from tonight we get a vote on the moratorium. Those of you who haven’t toured through Rancho de Sonoma, I invite you to go there, talk to the people, tell them Sam sent you. I would like all you councilmembers to get to know the people there to give you more confidence on what we do need here on the fourth of June.”
