As part of the consent calendar the council approved a professional services agreement awarding multi‑jurisdictional code‑enforcement services to Willdan Engineering; a written public comment urged strict oversight and transparency.

The council approved, by unanimous consent, awarding a professional services agreement for multi‑jurisdictional code enforcement to Willdan Engineering covering Cotati, Sonoma, Windsor and Cloverdale. A written comment from Laurie Alderman urged the council to use the contract to establish objective, transparent oversight and to correct alleged past problems with decentralized code enforcement.

The clerk read Alderman’s written comment into the record, which recommended standardized checklists, transparent fee reporting and monthly metrics to ensure equity and accountability under the new contract. The consent calendar motion (with item 7.3 pulled for separate discussion) passed by unanimous roll call.
