Current Resident or
Chamber Backs Port Sonoma PlanPort Sonoma went before the Sonoma
County Planning Commission in July to seek permits to use dredging spoils for a base for sophisticated agricultural operations following several years of test plots for grapes, olives, vegetables, and other crops.
The Petaluma Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors sent the following letter to the Planning Commission, which subsequently approved the use permit on a 5-0 vote. The text of letter follows:
To the Sonoma County Planning Commission:
Please accept this letter as the Petaluma Area Chamber of Commerce’s
endorsement of the Carneros River Ranch soil program that uses dredge material, compost and worm castings to create better soil and grow higher value crops in Petaluma.
PACC suports the project because it will be consistent with Chamber policies to ensure continued dredging on the Petaluma River. The barge/off-loader system means that hundreds of thousands of commercial tons of material will add substantially to commercial activitiy on the river, increasing the priority for dredging under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers program. Having an upland placement location next to the river means lower costs for maintaining this
waterway vital to Petaluma’s economy, especially since the Shollenberger facility may not be able to accept material in the future. It is our understanding that one of the ranch’s first projects this year will be dredging of the Petaluma Marina and possibly the Turning Basin. These portions of the river are vital to Petaluma’s economy and have not been dredged in several years.
PACC appreciates that Port Sonoma has joined with Jerico Products to invest millions of dollars to date in this project and has hired a team of Sonoma County specialists to design the soil program. As the site is elevated, more workers will be hired to tend to the higher value
crops. In an economy that desperately needs jobs, it’s encouraging to see local businesses investing in each other to grow together.
Finally, as an organization that helps focus on our future economy, PACC embraces a local business that provides sustainable organic agriculture and green jobs. How wonderful that someone has figured out how to use food organics to feed worms and make premium soil in a manner that reduces greenhouse gases.
Please approve this important project and help our economy grow jobs.

Ambassador ProfileKathleen StaffordWells Fargo/Pongo’s Kitchen & Tap
Kathleen Stafford has a new passion for her role as a Petaluma Chamber of Commerce Ambassador: Building recognition for local Petaluma businesses.
Kathleen has joined with her current husband Lawrence and her ex-husband Pongo in a new endeavor: Pongo’s Kitchen & Tap, a new restaurant in the G&G center next to Starbucks. The restaurant specializes in Thai food and also has a great mix of other types of food including a kids menu. Pongo has been in the restaurant business for 30 years helping his parents build Jhan Thong in the Northgate Mall in Terra Linda.
Kathleen still works as a Premier Banker at Wells Fargo, although she
is currently on a leave returning in September. She still shares her passion for teaching children about saving money and setting financial goals. In fact the opening of Pongo’s Kitchen & Tap hopefully shows her three sons Nick, age 15, Tony and Jesse, age 11 that in this day in age you build your own future.
“Without budgeting and understanding money we wouldn’t have been able to do this”.
It’s a family affair at this restaurant, with all hands on deck. Kathleen and Lawrence are serving guests while Pongo creates magic and teaches Nick his secrets, and many times the twins will be clearing tables.
Now more than ever Kathleen understands the importance of com-munity focus and being involved in Petaluma. “It’s a great town and my home it made sense to open our business here.” She joined the Chamber through her connections at Wells Fargo but stays with the Chamber because of her local focus. Kathleen’s goal as her role as an Ambassador is she wants the public to discover Petaluma businesses “There are so many great people working and running businesses in this city, buy local, eat local, and spend local, discover Petaluma,’ she said.
August Wake Up Moves to Rohnert Park
A trio of speakers, two of them talking about water, and a third with a topic that sounds like its about water but isn’t, will highlight the August program for Wake Up Petaluma, scheduled for Tuesday, August 23.
This month the breakfast will be held at location of the sponsor, Sally Tomatoes in the Sonoma Mountain Village at 110 Valley House Drive, Rohnert Park. Event begins at 7:30 a.m.
Cordel Stillman, Deputy Chief Engineer of the Sonoma County Water Agency, will talk about the Community Choice Aggregation, while Susan Starbird will discuss Petaluma Water Ways.
The third speaker is Marla Stuart of Sonoma County UpStream, who will discuss that program’s mission to facilitate the implementation of prevention-focused policies and interventions that increase equality and reduce monetary and societal costs for all residents of Sonoma County.
Also on the program is recognition of new members and a raffle drawing. There will also be the opportunity for non-profits to make announcements.
Cost for the breakfast is $20 for Chamber members, $25 for non-members. Reservations needed – call 762-2785.

President’s Message
Board Explores WaysTo Strengthen Chamber
By Ron Malnati, President,
Petaluma Area Chamber of Commerce
Commentary
Our annual Chamber Board retreat was held in mid-July, giving each of us an opportunity to explore in depth where we have been in the recent past, where we want to go in the years ahead, and, at the same time, determine what we want to do to reach our goals.
As far as the recent past is concerned, it was gratifying to know that our membership is holding steady, around 750 members and has been there for about two years, down from a high of about 900, during the boom years. Compared to a number of other area Chambers that have suffered even more drastic losses, this is good news.
Also, your Chamber finished in the black once again, with its reserve intact, and is budgeted for a repeat financial performance for the coming year.
With no pressing financial problems to dominate retreat discussions, we were able to focus on the positive things we can do in the coming months to further strengthen what is already a very strong organization. I discussed several of my personal goals last month, all of which touched on communications: with each other, with the membership, and particularly with those people in local government whose actions have a direct effect upon business.
At the retreat, we focused on ways to strengthen our committee structure so our committee volunteers can contribute with the full support of the Chamber behind them. We are going to expand the opportunities for committee chairs to speak with the Board of Directors. We are urging Board participation at the committee levels, and each Board member is being asked to be active in at least one committee.
We want the committee chairs to be able to communicate their activities,

It Makes a DifferenceWhere You Purchase
Locally, most of the economic news is falling on the positive side of the aisle. Our business parks are slowly filling up, as buildings emptied during the double whammy of the dot.com bust and the nation’s financial meltdown are being refilled with dynamic new and growing businesses.
It looks like the City’s efforts to get our retail mix offering up to speed may see results within a year or two as the shopping center near the Fairgrounds is scheduled to get under construction, and a decision on the center on North McDowell should not be too far off.
Although all the signs are positive, it is nevertheless a fact of life that our City government is in sad shape financially, owing to a drastic drop in revenues available. Currently, City Hall has caught up with the financial malaise that was plaguing the business community for the past couple of years. Sales taxes of course are down, as are property tax revenues.
Currently, the City is aggressively exploring ways to get more revenues in the coffers through economic development. They have created an economic strategic plan, and they have created a new economic development director position and hired Ingrid Alverde to create initiatives to pump vitality into our local business community and, in so doing, help generate desperately needed funds to operate the city.
While all this is going on, it behooves us all to keep one fact firmly in our minds – it does make a big difference where we spend our money. As Chamber members, we are always urged to do business with other Chamber members. For many of our members, this is often the greatest benefit of Chamber membership.
Now, with the proliferation of online marketing, it is often tempting to not only bypass opportunities to shop with Chamber members, but even to skip spending our dollars in the local community. This pattern has contributed to our local decline in sales tax revenues.
It does make a difference where we spend our money, if things like adequately paved streets, adequate police and fire protection, playgrounds and parks, and a vast range of other municipal services are important.
Our local economy is an intricately interconnected and interdependent network where businesses, residents, schools, government and non-profits all depend upon healthy levels of mutual support. That mutual support relies upon a continual flow of money through the lifeline of commerce – from buying, selling, donations, taxes – all the manifestations of healthy commerce.
So, when we are making decisions as to where to spend our business dollars, one of the facts that should enter into our considerations is the fact that money spent within our own economic network can certainly make a difference.
Little by little, our local economy is getting better. The buying decisions we make today can go a small way towards speeding up the process.
to you, our members, via speaking opportunities at Wake Up, and via Petaluma Business. They are doing great work for us and you need to know.
Perhaps more importantly, we want each Chamber member to seriously consider becoming involved in one of our committees or projects. Petaluma is a phenomenal town because of the exceptionally high level of volunteerism that propels a great number of worthwhile projects. The same can be said of our Chamber.
However, volunteer energy is not infinite, and we can’t expect the same individuals to keep “doing it all” forever, which means we are constantly in need of the vast range of skills and new ideas represented in our membership. Interested? Check the committee roster on page two, and if you see something of interest, give the chair a call.
We are also going to investigate ways to enhance the benefit package offered President’s Circle members.
The last part of our retreat was hearing reports from each of the committee chairs or their alternates, and I have to say how impressive their work is, and how important it is to the Chamber. From the tireless dedication of the Ambassadors to the new Young Professional Network, from our well established committees of Agri-business, Business-Education and Wake-up Petaluma, to our issues/government relations committees, there is an exceptional amount of volunteerism represented.
Wouldn’t you like to be a part of it?
