Early last week, the Sonoma City Council scheduled a special meeting for tonight, Monday, June 27, to discuss issues pertaining to an ongoing lawsuit and grant application at the Rancho de Sonoma mobile home park.
The city was set to finalize a $1.1 million grant application, to build a pipeline to connect Rancho de Sonoma to city water, per mandates from the Environmental Protection Agency, which discovered unusually high arsenic rates in the mobile park's well-water supply.
The city created the special meeting to administer grant applications before the state's June 30 deadline for finalizing the papers.

Instead, Rancho de Sonoma will apply for grant money through Proposition 84 bond funds, which can be administered directly by the state - thus eliminating the city's involvement and the June 30 deadline, said City Manager Linda Kelly.
Stay tuned tomorrow for further updates for the ongoing water-situation at Rancho de Sonoma.
