The annual Good Egg Award, presented to one or more locals with a strong connection to Petaluma and a dedicated track-record of promoting its rich identity, river town history, and varied, ever-shifting culture.
Chosen by past Good Egg nominees, this year’s honor goes to Mitch and Barbara Lind, whose community involvement and philanthropic efforts over the last 52 years are legendary. A true legacy company, Lind Marine has provided dredge, barge, and tug services throughout the San Francisco Bay and Delta for well over 100 years.
Each year, a Grand Marshal is selected to lead the Butter & Egg Days Parade. This year, in keeping with the parade’s home-related theme, the Grand Marshals will be volunteers and staff of Petaluma’s Rebuilding Together nonprofit who have created and renovated homes for Petaluma seniors, disabled persons, and families for the past 25 years.

Like most cities across the country, some members of our Petaluma community experience homelessness. There are complex reasons that lead to loss of housing and the City of Petaluma is committed to helping our most vulnerable in their time of need and protecting our community.

The City of Petaluma partnered with Petaluma People Services Center to bring our community the SAFE (Specialized Assistance for Everyone) Program in July of 2021. The goal of the SAFE team is to address crisis response, prevention, and intervention for our most vulnerable community members experiencing mental health issues, substance abuse issues, and homelessness. This mobile crisis response team approach provides more efficient and successful outcomes for crisis response, intervention, and treatment for the long-term improvement of our community and individual quality of life.
The SAFE Team comprises civilian first responders who will respond to and proactively address calls for service that have traditionally (and unnecessarily) burdened law enforcement, emergency medical services, and health care providers.
If you need the SAFE Team’s services, you can reach them in the following ways:
-
Call 911 – An emergency dispatcher will answer and determine if your situation requires the SAFE team, first responders such as police, fire, paramedics, or a combination of both.
-
Call 707-781-1234 – You will reach a directory where you can speak with a 911 operator or a non-emergency staff member to help.

A message from the County of Sonoma:
Want to find out about wildfires, floods, power shutoffs, and other emergencies as quickly as possible? The best way is to register with the emergency alert notification systems used by the City of Petaluma (Nixle), the County of Sonoma, and PG&E.
Be sure to register yourself and anyone else in your family (kids, elderly parents, etc) who would benefit from emergency notifications.
