Surrounded by beautiful vistas of hills, vineyards, majestic oaks and redwoods, Cotati mixes all the benefits of living in a small city, with the cultural advantages of being located near major urban centers and a highly acclaimed state university. Cotati's roots are steeped in agriculture and music, and our citizens are proud of the diverse and charming community that has been shaped by over 100 years' history.

We do this in several ways which include our Quarterly Speaker Series, Open Houses and Ribbon Cutting Celebrations, Breakfast Meetings, After Hours Mixers and our weekly "Chamber Update" emailed each week to our data base of businesses and interested individuals. How we are different than most other Chambers is that we have developed a slogan: "Working together to build a prosperous, happy and safe community." I think the key word of our slogan is Patrick McCarty, community. I can think of no other organization that strives harder to bring together our business President Cotati Chamber proprietors, citizens and visitors into a thing called community. Our events demonstrate that intention year round. Our Farmers' Market, Kids Day Parade and Celebration, Jazz Festival, Oktober Fest and MultiEvening Holiday events are just some of the ways that we choose to bring the people of Cotati and our neighbors together, inclusively, as we actively seek to accomplish the goals that we have chosen. I have been active in the Cotati Chamber for several years and cannot recall a single luncheon meeting, breakfast meeting, ribbon cutting, open house or event of any kind that was deemed "members only". I invite each and every one of you to participate in any way that you might choose in the many activities provided by the Cotati Chamber of Commerce. A good place to start might be to send an email to; [email protected] and ask to be added to our data base so that you can receive our weekly Chamber Update that will keep you informed of what's going on in our community. I look forward to seeing those of you that I know, and meeting those of you whom I haven't met yet, as we work together to build a prosperous, happy and safe community.

Chief among them is La Plaza Park in the heart of town, with a bandstand, picnic tables, play equipment and modern restrooms. Shaded by large trees, it is a popular gathering place for small groups or informal meals as well as all city festivals. La Plaza Park is also one of Cotati’s claims to fame, as it has been registered as California Historical Landmark No. 879 because of its unique hexagonal shape.

With enrollment this year of approximately 8,000, SSU has 36 academic departments and offers 45 bachelor's degree and 16 master's degree programs, 9 credential programs, and 8 certificate programs. SSU is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is the only California member of the prestigious Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges. U.S. News and World Report ranks SSU as one of America’s Best Colleges each year. Thomas Page School For its size, Cotati has unique educational resources, beginning with a public cooperative nursery school and three private preschools to serve the youngest citizens and extending through the university years at Sonoma State University, immediately adjacent to Cotati, and beyond that at Santa Rosa Junior College. SSU has a state‑of‑the‑art library and information center, and the soon-to-be-open Green Music Center is designed to become one of the great concert halls of the world. The Wine Business Institute in the School of Business & Economics is the first and only program in the U.S. to focus exclusively on the business aspects of the wine industry. Each year SSU sponsors hundreds of seminars, workshops, lectures, conferences, exhibits and other programs open to the public. The Center for the Performing Arts and University Art Gallery are also major local attractions. Thomas Page School, operated by the Cotati‑Rohnert Park Unified School District, is located in the beautiful rolling hills on the west side of Cotati, and offers outstanding educational and cultural opportunities for children. Currently they have students from kindergarten through sixth grade, but are planning to implement a seventh and eighth grade program beginning in 2012-13. The program will begin next year with the addition of a seventh grade class and expand to include eighth grade in 2013-14. Thomas Page School is within walking or bicycling distance of some neighborhoods in Cotati, but school bus service is also available. Santa Rosa Junior College, founded in 1918, is known for its academic rigor, its outstanding job training programs, superb faculty, comprehensive student services, and excellent facilities. The Cotati-Rohnert Park school district includes five other elementary schools, one middle school, and four high schools in neighboring Rohnert Park. Cotati also has two private schools serving K - 6th and 7th - 12th grades. SRJC operates two campuses in Sonoma County: a 100+ acre campus in the heart of Santa Rosa and a 40-acre campus in Petaluma. SRJC also operates a regional Public Safety Training Center in Windsor, a 365-acre self-supporting Shone Farm near Forestville, a Culinary Arts Center in downtown Santa Rosa, and a Technology Academy on the Petaluma Campus. Each semester classes are offered at more than 70 locations throughout the District by nearly 3,500 faculty and staff. The Department of Theatre Arts & Dance 2012-2013 Season SRJC offers a strong General Education program for students planning to transfer to four-year colleges and universities, and more than 175 career skills certificate programs that prepare students for the workforce. SRJC’s basic skills program prepares students for college level courses. The College grants both associate in arts (A.A.) and associate in science (A.S.) degrees. Water Works!

More notes are expected to be added to the overpass along with the possibility of lyrics as well at some point. Nashville has its own Music Row - why not Cotati? Cotati's musical heritage is long and rich, home to clubs and studios, the annual accordion and jazz festivals, so it is perhaps appropriate that on each side of the 101 overpass through Cotati, the retaining walls and overpass have been decorated with a series of music notes. It is unclear however whether the musical notations form an actual tune. The question remains: is there a discernible melody up there? Is it the last chord to "A Day in the Life"? Can someone with a guitar go try and play it and find out? Concerned about copyright implications, Caltrans decided against using notes to a popular song, choosing instead an original melody composed by a member of the design firm for the 101 project. Once on paper however, the notes did not work well together visually, so adjustments were made and no one seems to know what the new notation might actually sound like.

Local food emporium Oliver's Market is celebrating the wealth of local music with a compilation CD and promotional campaign called "Real Music" which, according to their website, will use in-store broadcasting, live in-store performances and local radio. "It's a double CD with over two hours of music and thirty three artists from over a hundred submissions," said Tom Scott, Oliver's Markets V.P. and General Manager, "The music on the first CD is pretty varied. We've got some bluegrass, we've got some blues, some rock and roll. We've got some swing. " The first in a series of Sonoma County “Real Music” compilation CD’s is to be sold in all Oliver's outlets. Profits will benefit The Redwood Empire Food Bank. Two more CD's are planned for the near future. "It means there's a lot of good music in Sonoma..." The program is supported by The Last Record Store in Santa Rosa, Blair Hardman of Zone Recording and KRSH 95.9 FM. A "Real Music" showcase will include live performances at Oliver's Markets, along with CD release parties at The Last Record Store and a series of workshops for musicians to be held at Zone Recording. "It means there's a lot of good music in Sonoma," Scott told us. "We've got a lot of the old guard on this, the Thugz, the Pulsators, Danny Sorentino, Michael Barclay but there's a couple that people might not know and, as we go forward, we're going to dig a little deeper into some of the lesser known talent."

Lloyd and Prue Draper, who owned The Cotatian weekly newspaper from 1951 to 1965, have collected Cotati historic documents, artifacts, and memorabilia for over 50 years, hoping that some day the city would have an appropriate place to store and display them, and make them available to the public. As various organizations in town disbanded, they entrusted their records and artifacts to the Drapers with the understanding that they would be appropriately preserved. Wendy and Bob Gilman of Window Perfect donated and installed Venetian blinds over windows cleaned by Rocky Deitz of Sunshine Services. TAP Plastics, Cotati Oaks True Value Hardware, and Grainger Co. provided discounts on necessary items. Jim Reaney primed the walls and John Moore recruited his whole family - wife, Lisa, and children Richard, Rachel, and Riley - to paint all walls, ceiling, and trim; Susan Harvey took over painting in the main room and storeroom. Hines Signs donated a custom-designed sign to credit the workers and donors. Bob Brooks of Copy, Mail & More filled all our printing needs gratis. The Drapers, assisted pro bono by attorney Maurice Fredericks, established the Cotati Historical Society in 2007 as a California nonprofit corporation. They appointed a Board of Directors and petitioned the City of Cotati to lease an unused room at City Hall for a historic museum and archive. Robert Leys, Cotati architect, produced the plan for converting the room from a much-partitioned police department into a museum. In short, the Cotati Museum is a tremendous community effort, with enthusiastic help given by many, many volunteers and local businesses. Without their help, it could never have happened. —display cases, tables, The society began collecting furnishings shelves, chairs, a desk — in 2008. The first items were antique glass and wood display cases donated by Harry Bosworth in Geyserville. A crew of volunteers - Bruce and Connie Martin, Bob Renati, Simone Wilson, Dave Thomas, and Prue and Robin Draper brushed off the dust of years and loaded the fragile old pieces into a stock trailer for the journey to Cotati. Other items included a desk donated by the West Sonoma County Museum in Sebastopol, a table donated by T.J. Nelson of Windsor, a cabinet built by Paul Harvey for a set of map drawers donated by Tom Origer, and a large chest of drawers bought at a bargain at a yard sale. The Cotati Historical Society continued a favorite Cotati tradition with their annual Cotati Museum fundraising chicken barbecue on April 15 and appreciated the wide support they received from the community with financial help and dozens of outstanding gifts for their silent auction. Information and photo courtesy of Cotati Historical Society RMS RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES Connie and Bruce Martin provided free use of a vacant warehouse as a furniture-refinishing locale. The Martins, Dave Thomas, Jim Wolford, Bob Herrerias, Prue Draper, Bob and Robin Draper, Arch Stewart, and Rick Stewart worked through the winter of 2008 and much of 2009 on refinishing the items. In the fall of 2009, Bruce Hammond and Steve Eichbaum began remodeling the room at Cotati City Hall, with City Manager Dianne Thompson as design director. The plan was to make the room resemble the first grade classroom that it had been when the City Hall was the old Cotati School. City of Cotati crews handled demolition of old partitions and suspended ceiling; Dennis Thomas of North Counties Drywall donated all materials and labor to install new sheetrock; Johnny Kistenmacher of Aladdin Electric donated his services and materials to rewire the room; Hammond Fine Homes contributed material and labor for the wainscot and trim. Special thanks also go to Police Chief Robert Stewart, City Engineer Damien O’Bid, and Finance Director Jone Hayes. We are proud of the fine City of Cotati and salute all its businesses and residents. Thank you for making it such a great place to live and do business. Rick Stewart of Arch’s Glass donated and installed a new window; Michael Pastryk of Liberty Valley Doors designed and built a new door to match the building’s vintage doors. With coordination by Geoff Fox, Jeff Nelson of Trammell-Nelson Floors refinished the original old fir floor to a beautiful honey color that complements the old oak furnishings. Dunn-Edwards Paints donated all paints and finishes used in the room and on the furniture; David Glaubinger directed the lighting plan and Lowe’s donated all track lights, electrical parts, and a shelf for the storeroom, which was carpeted courtesy of City Carpets. Mike Sheehan of Pacific Heating donated services of technicians several times to get the heating system operating, and Al Martinoni of Cotati Public Works managed necessary plumbing repairs in the small washroom. ¢ 8000 Old Redwood Highway • Cotati, CA 707-792-4980 phone • 707-792-4988 fax 16 ∫ Cotati Arts Project has been adding a series of new sculptures to the downtown area. “Inside Out" on the lawn by the corner of La Plaza and Old Redwood Highway is the second of three public sculptures added to the landscape. The artist is former SSU student Missy Engelhardt who took about six months to complete the project. The sculpture contains a number of abstract pieces across the grass. The concrete sack-like artifices allow people to sit on them as if they are benches in a park, which in fact they are. Nearly 3,000 pounds of cement was used in the construction of "Inside Out". The installation costs for the project were donated by Exchange Bank to honor of longtime employee Nadine Wolford. The Cotati Arts Project (CAP) brings together businesses, non-profits and the arts community in an effort to improve the aesthetic nature of our town. As part of the Cotati Chamber of Commerce, the CAP board is interested in using public artworks to enhance our environment while attracting new businesses to downtown locations.

The Cotati Creek Critters is a grassroots organization that wants to see Cotati’s stretch of the Laguna de Santa Rosa become a green corridor of habitat for native and migratory birds, pond turtles, frogs, butterflies and dragonflies, as well as an urban greenway with walkways and bicycle path. that Cotati's creeks are part of the larger Laguna de Santa Rosa and Russian River watersheds. "Parts of the laguna are now recognized as a wetlands of international significance," said Blaker, "Not up in "Parts of the laguna are now recognized as a wetlands of international significance..." Outreach co-ordinator Jenny Blaker was one of the founders back in 1998.

Cotati, but further downstream, and so what we're always trying to get across is that by taking care of the upper region of the laguna here in Cotati, we can have a much bigger impact all the way downstream."

To date as many as 4,000 volunteers over the years have planted and maintained over 2,000 native trees and shrubs, and thousands of native grasses, sedges, and rushes alongside a section of the Laguna de Santa Rosa channel that runs through Cotati and part of Rohnert Park Creek. Stewardship Days may involve planting native trees and shrubs, removing invasive plants, removing trash, propagating plants in the nursery, and pruning, mulching, weeding, and other supportive tasks as needed. Trash Pick Up events are held twice a year, usually in October and April, to remove trash from the Laguna de Santa Rosa channel before it gets washed downstream into the heart of the laguna, the Russian River and the Pacific Ocean. Cotati Creek Critters also organize group stewardship days for specific groups of 15 or more and offer a presentation on the history, background, and purpose of its projects, to any interested group or class. They also run an internship program offering community involvement opportunities for students. If you are interested in volunteering, check out www.cotaticreekcritters.info for further information.

Wishing to save a few bucks on commission, some adventurous sellers embark on the home selling task without an agent. You’ve heard the usual arguments against doing this — the paperwork hassle, the improper pricing, the legal pitfalls — so I will not talk about those here. Instead, here are the drawbacks of a different kind that are almost always overlooked — the emotional ones. That Uncomfortable Feeling To some people selling is second nature — they easily strike up conversations with perfect strangers and quickly earn their trust and their business. However, for a larger majority, tr ying to sell something to a stranger feels uncomfortable. The “uncomfortableness” is amplified if a person has an emotional attachment to the thing being sold (as is the case with homes). Hearing negative comments about one’s home and facing rejection repeatedly is a dreadful experience for many solo-sellers. Those who work with an agent have it easy. A good agent will gently provide advice on what improvements are needed and how to best stage the home for showings. The agent handles the showings, answers the objections of potential buyers, and is trained to handle the “salesy” part of guiding someone from “just looking” to “I want to make an offer.” The seller just sits, smiles, and waits for a signed offer to arrive. Anxiety As you already know, selling a home involves lots of paperwork, much of it mandated by law. Forget something, and you may find yourself in legal hot water. For-Sale-By-Owners may be fairly certain that they have dotted all the “i”s and crossed all the “t”s, but many will still worry: “Did I provide all of the disclosures? Was everything done properly?” This creates anxiety. Then, after the sale, the unexpected call: “Hi, this is the buyer. There’s water in the basement and this was not disclosed to me before the purchase.” The seller stutters: “I was not aware of that...” “We’ll see,” replies the buyer, “I’ll have someone contact you soon.” Now the seller has to sweat and worry and agonize and lose sleep waiting for that call from “someone” whose name is probably followed by “ESQ.” Don’t get me wrong — many solo sellers complete their transactions without any legal problems. But just thinking, “Am I forgetting something” creates unnecessary anxiety. How does working with an agent alleviate this? An agent is trained in all the different legal aspects of selling a home. Not only does this minimize the chances of something going wrong, but it also gives the seller added peace of mind — one less thing to worry about. Does this mean that agents are perfect and never make mistakes? No, but they have Errors and Omissions Insurance if something should go wrong. Hey, even more peace of mind! As winter approaches, the real estate market will likely slow down. That’s when it becomes especially important to have a skilled Realtor on your side. If you are buying, a knowledgeable Realtor will know where to find good homes, even if there are fewer homes on the market. If you are selling, a good agent will know how to attract qualified buyers, even if fewer people are looking. Are you thinking of buying or selling soon? If so, give me a call or send me an e-mail today, and let’s work together. I offer thorough knowledge of the local market, friendly service, and no sales pressure. Barbar er Barbaraa JJ..
