Projects by private landowners to boost salmon and other fish populations in North Coast streams are set to receive an additional $2 million this year from an arm of the federal government. Federal and local officials on Friday announced the commitment of new grant money for six major river basins stretching from Sonoma County — and including the Russian River — to Eureka, in Humboldt County.

What will the Petaluma Community Coalition do with its $100,000 settlement from the Target shopping center lawsuit? Part of the money will be used to repay donors, co-chair Matt Maguire says. And some of the funds could be put back into the community. But that hasn’t stopped some local officials from worrying that the payment sets a precedent for lawsuits and business in Petaluma.

Warring factions announced a truce Monday night that will allow Petaluma’s controversial new Target shopping center to move toward construction. The developer agreed to many of the design changes sought by opponents and will pay up to $100,000 for the city’s legal costs.
