Whelchel City Staff: ' Present: P. Chapman, Planning and Building Director; J. H. Fitzpatrick, City Clerk; R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer; D. F. Romero, City Engineer; Lee M. Schlobohm, Fire Chief; E. Rodgers., Police Captain; J. Stockton, Assistant Park and Recreation Director. On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Councilman Blake, claims against the City for the month of December were approved subject to the approval of the Adminis- trative Officer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- 1. The City Council discussed the appointment of a Sign Study Committee to study and recommend amendments to the existing sign ordinance or a new sign ordinance for the City Council's consideration. The Planning Director, Peter Chapman, presented a list of suggested persons to be appointed to the Sign Committee and also made the following suggestions for organi- zation of the Committee: 1. Exclude representatives from the sign companies, City Staff and anyone who worked directly on the recent sign ordinance. 2. Committee to invite presentations from all interested parties and then make recommendations directly to the Council. ' 3. Committee to draft an ordinance on a piecemeal basis rather than attempt to complete it at one time. Mayor Whelchel stated that he did not agree with the recommendations of the Planning Director, particularly with =terns 1 and 3 as he felt that representatives of the sign industry should be on the Committee in order that all facets of the sign problems be considered. Farther, he felt that the City Staff should be exofficio members to the Committee for whatever purposes the Committee may wish them to be used, and finally he felt that the ordinance should be rewritten once and for all and not on a piece- meal basis. Mayor Whelchel suggested that the Committee should consist of approximately 12 members two members from the Council, two members from the Planning Commission, two members from the sign industry, two members representing business and four members represent- ing the general public. The City Council then discussed the suggestions of the Mayor and agreed that this would be the best approach by having a representative of the Committee responsible to the City Council for their consideration of a proposed sign ordinance. The following appointments were made by the City Council: Mayor Whelchel and Councilman Spring representing the Council; Herbert Landeck and one additional member appointed by the Planning Commission, Mr. Albaugh or Mr..Moerman ' representing the Electrical Sign Industry; John Freeman, representing the outdoor advertising industry; one member to be appointed by the Downtown Association; one member to be appointed by the Chamber of Commerce; Mr, Myron Graham representing the Art Association; Ivan Albert representing the Gas and Oil Industry; John Ross, Architect; Dr. Elmer Brown, property owner; Mrs. Sharon Winslow, League of Women Voters; Irvin Rogan, Cal Poly Instructor, and Larry Petersen, Cal Poly student. On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Blake, that the City Council appoint the above listed citizens as a citizen committee to recommend a sign ordinance to the City Council. Motion carried. 2. Mrs, Lee, President of the Woods Animal Shelter Society, appeared before the City Council defending the Shelter's services to the City under their contract. She asked that the City Council present her with the complaints that had caused dissatisfaction with the service.

Spring, Clell W. Whelchel, NOES: Emmons Blake ABSENT: Donald Q. Miller 4. The following communication was'received from the Visitor's and Convention Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce. Representatives from organizations concerned have met for'the purpose of considering the advertising and promotion of San Luis Obispo through the use of bed tax funds. A summary of the request for these organizations includes the following: Advertising for January, February and March 1966. San Francisco Chronicle $1,225.00. Los Angeles Times $2,695.00. A total of $3,920.00. Mr. Robert Johnson, Chairman of the Visitor's•and Convention Committee, appeared befor, the City Council on behalf of the Committee's request for advertising funds stating that the three month period January, February and March were slow months for businesses in the tourist industry and he felt that this advertising might keep the motels, etc., doing a better business for this period. Mr. Francis McNamara, Motel Operator, appeared before the City Council urging that the ' Council approve this request for advertising funds in order to encourage tourists to come to San Luis Obispo to spend their time and money. He continued that this adver- tising money was needed in order to encourage tourists to visit the City and the motele during the slow periods of January, February and March. R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, upon question of the City Council, reported allocations to date collected from the transient occupancy tax. Mayor Whelchel stated that he felt that rather than spend all the bed tax money as it is collected on brochures, pamphlets and newspaper advertising, he felt that some of it should be allocated to a'fund to construct a convention center or hall for holding of meetings, conventions, etc., which he felt would be better for the tourist industry than just trying to attract a few tourists at this time. Mr. McNamara again appeared before the Council urging that the City allocate this money at this time which is the slowest period of the year for the motels and try this advertising in San Francisco and Los Angeles to see if it really helps their business. Councilman Spring stated that he felt the community would receive as many visitors if they would advertise on the local radio stations in the San Joaquin Valley, giving the day's temperature and weather conditions on the coast rather than attempt an expensive program to lure tourists from San Francisco and Los Angeles. Mr. Johnson again appeared before the Council and stated that if the City Council would not approve of their suggested type of advertising, he asked that maybe the ' Council would appoint a committee of the Council to meet with the Visitor's and Convention Committee to arrive at an advertising format that would be acceptable to the Council and would still encourage visitors to come to San Luis Obispo to stay. Mr. George White, Motel Operator, stated that now was the time to spend the bed tax money to advertise the City as this was the time that the motels are in trouble and need all the help that visitors and tourists can bring in order that the bed tax money could increase and make more money available for advertising. On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, that the request of the Visitor's and Convention Bureau be tabled at this time. Motion carried. 6. Communication from the Administrative Officer requesting Council permission to make a salary survey as authorized under the provisions of Section 1305 of the City Charter.

Mr. McPhee of Cal Poly stated that he has assigned his staff to work with the City to the end of accomplishing this improvement. street Mayor Whelchel with the Council's concurrance, instructed the staff to proceed with negotiations for the extension of Highland Drive. 8. Communication from West Coast Construction Company requesting that the City Council grant extension of time to complete the South Higuera Assessment District Water Main extension for 63 working days to cover the delay in starting at the request of the City and also an additional '20 day extension due to inclement weather.

Mayor Whelchel stated it was his impression that the company representatives wished to cooperate with the Council in this matter. 'X. Mrs. Bilodeau appeared before the Council urging that the City Council do all they can to establish an Air Force WIlage somewhere in the vicinity of San Luis Obispo-to house retired Air Force Officers and the widows of Air Force members. She stated that the organivarion constructing these villages was very interested in San Luis Obispo and hoped that some crzangements could be made to acquire land at no cost or at a very nominal cost in order to build this development. Mrs. Bilodeau stated she was sure that a little support from the City Council could bring this matter to completion and to the satisfaction of all concerned. 10. Communication from California State Polytechnic College regarding the tentative signalization of the California Foothill Boulevard intersection. Cal Poly representatives stated that funds have been approved for construction of the signalization in the 1965 -66 budget and as the signals would be of some benefit to the City traffic pattern as well as the City, they asked that the City cooperate in this matter at no capital cost to the City. Mr. Miller, Administrative Officer, reported as follows on the discussions with the college representatives. The College was willing to underwrite the capital cost of approximately $80,000 if the City would undertake maintenance responsibilities including power costs. The ' agreement would be subject to renegotiation at such time as replacement of the signals was needed. It was the consensus of the Council that there should be an escape clause after 20 years if the City began to incur excessive maintenance. On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Blake, the Mayor was authorized to approve in principle the request of the College subject to final negotiations. Motion carried. 11. Communication from the California State Polytechnic College requesting that the City Council issue a statement as to whether or not the City is interested in acquiring, financing and operating as a municipal airport under the appropriate CAA licenses the air strip on the Federal owned land at Camp San Luis Obispo which the College currently has under a 25 year lease.

Mayor Whelchel voting no. 21. The following communication was received from the Planning Director: For some time my department has been pursuing a successful program of upgrading substandard buildings in the community and removal in cases where rehabilitation is ' not economically feasible. We have gradually accumulated a number of vacant and in many cases partially destroyed buildings, whose owners have neglected to cooperate in their improvement or removal. - We are now in the situation where it is becoming increasingly difficult to get action from owners of other buildings, who point to these "examples" which are in far worse condition than theirs. I therefore request Council approval to invoke Section 203 of the Uniform Building Code and notify the owners that the Council will hold a hearing on the 7th day of February, with a view to ordering the immediate demolition of the following buildings by the City if the work has not been completed by that date: Location Date of first notice to owner 638 Marsh January 1959 144 Patricia March 1962 2138 Broad October 1963 67 South January 1964 3332 Branch April 1964 415 North Chorro July 1964 175 high April 1965 651 Foothill May 1965 ' On motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Spring, approve the recommendation of the Planning Director except that the public hearing be deferred until March 7, 1966.
