C -14. The City Council received a recommendation from the Promotional
Coordinating Committee that $100.00 be granted to the Mustang Boosters

On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Councilman Blake, the consent
items were approved as indicated. Motion carried.
1. The City Council received a communication from John A. Woodworth,
624 Mission Street, regarding damage to his water line and subsequent water
use prior to discovery of the leaks. He requested special consideration by
the City Council to excuse payment on his water bill for the water he did
not receive due to the damaged line between the meter and his house'. He
stated he could not understand why he should have to pay $200 for water he
did not receive.
Price Thompson., Water Director, reported that under the Municipal Code the
City maintained the water mains in the streets and the house connections to
the meter including the meter but once the water left the meter, the trans-
mission system was private property over which the City had no control and
the property owner was required to maintain his own system in operating
condition. He concluded that it was the Water-Department's position that
failure to collect charges due for water wasted would materially affect'
the rights. of other users and nullify the spirit and intent of the Municipal
Code.
John Woodworth appeared before the City Council and stated that to pay the
excessive amount he was charged for water that he did not use was unfair.
He continued that anyone in the area knew that he did not use over $200
worth of water in a two month period. He asked the City Council to cancel
all charges over and above his normal garbage, sewer and water bill.
Price Thompson, Water Director, reviewed the salient points of his communi-
cation stating that property owners must be aware of their responsibility
and take care of their utilities.
Councilman Graham stated that he had.studied the matter and had talked with
Mr. Woodworth. He felt that the City should cancel 2/3 of the water charge
if for no other reason than a compassionate one.
Councilman Miller agreed and hoped that this type of problem would not arise
too often. He felt that the Municipal Code did not give the City Council the
option to cancel water bills. .
Councilman Blake agreed that the bill was exorbitant and was sure that Mr.
Woodworth had not used the water and felt that some relief should be given
to the property owner in this.case.
Councilman Graham moved that the City reduce the charge by 2/3 of the bill.
Motion died for lack of a second.
Councilman Blake stated -he might have seconded the motion except he felt a
specific amount should be used and not a percentage.
Councilman Miller warned the City Council of the possible precedent being
set in cancelling this water bill or any portion thereof, as the City Council
had never allowed any adjustment for broken liens in the past.. The only
relief he could offer:.was for.thaCouncil to allow Mr. Woodworth-to pay his
bill over a two -year period.

Councilman.Graham urged the City Council to reduce the water bill for the
water that was wasted.
S. A. Jesperson, 191 Broad Street, neighbor of the Woodworths, agreed with
the statements made by Mr. Woodworth that he had no knowledge of the broken
water pipe.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Spring, that the re-
quest for relief be denied but that Woodworth be allowed to pay the bill
over a two year period.
Mayor Schwartz felt that some consideration shoul.d be given to the possi-
bility Gf reducing the bill by $100.
Councilmen Miller and Spring withdrew their motion.
On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Blake, that in recog-
nition of the terrain contributing to the inability.to find the-leak, that
$100 be cancelled and that Mr. Woodworth be allowed to pay the balance
over a two year period. Motion carried.
2. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, presented for Council consideration; a
list of properties requiring curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on Ramona Drive,
Tassajara Street and Cerro Romauldo Avenue. The City Engineer presented
sketches showing the area where the work was to be done and the scope of
the work to be accomplished on each parcel..

3A. The City Council received a proposal from John R. Ross &.Assoc.iates .
for architectural services for remodelling of the Murray Adobe at a
maximum cost of $750 for.his services. Remodelling to consist of the
following:
a. Removal of the existing roofing and unsound roof structure.
b. Replacement of new roofing and required framing.
c. Removal of the existing service and entry porches.
d. Restoring the exterior surfaces to most.nearly match the
original design. (Wrap the exterior walls in plaster
and modify wall openings to-suite).

On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Graham, that the
City accept the proposal and authorize an agreement.to.be.prepared by
the City Attorney with John Ross & Associates. Motion carried.
3B. D. F. Romero, City Engineerj, presented p.l:ahs:and• specifications f.or
the sewer .Ii.ne and Lift station..for.the Boi:se:Cascade, mob il.e home develop-
ment on Higuera Street for the Council's consideration. The City Engineer
estimated the cost for the sewer line and lift station at $32,000 for the
City's share and a total cost of $41,800. Mr. Romero explained that this
facility would serve the Lower Higuera area as far south as Tank Farm
Road and could serve as the base lift station for sewage from the South
Broad area.
City.Council Minutes
April 19, 1971
Page 5
R. D. Miller; Administrative Officer, stated that at a previous meeting
the City's cost for a share of the sewer ..i.mprovement and enlargement was
estimated at $7,000 lower than the Engineer's figure this evening. This
would mean that funds for this project would have to come from monies
budgeted for.projects elsewhere in the City.
Councilman Miller stated this was typical of the City's problem in that
the City Council.spends the taxpayers' money developing fringe areas for
speculators while the older parts of the city that needed sewer, water
or street improvements got by- passed. He felt that the Planning Commis-
sion and City Council were unfair in this regard.
Mayor Schwartz added this was why the City needed a General Plan, properly
delineated so that the cost estimates could be kept current.
On motion of Councilman Spring, seconded by Councilman Graham, the plans
and specifications were approved and the engineer was authorized to call
for bids. Motion carried with Councilman Miller voting no.
4. At this time the City Council held a.public hearing on the recommen
dation of the Planning Commission.,to rename Motley Avenue to Longview Lane
and des.ignate the present Longview Lane as an unnamed alley.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, stated that the proposed change was sup-
ported by a petition signed by fifteen (15) residents on the streets with
only one resident objecting.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
John Evans, Chairman of the Planning Commission and resident of Longview
Lane, spoke on behalf of the residents.and property owners of Motley
Avenue and Longview Lane requesting the approval of the City Council to
change the name of Motley Avenue to Longview Lane. He stated that he and
his neighbors had discussed this matter with the Police Department, Fire
Department and Postal Department and.they have no objections to the pro-
posed change.
Lurene Milton, 164 Longview Lane, supported the name change.
Robert Frost, 216 Longview Lane, agreed with the proposed name change.
Glen Rich, 222 Longview Lane, also agreed with his neighbors' request to
change the name of Motley Avenue to Longview Lane.
G. K. Dunklee, 170 Longview Lane, stated he was�a long time resident of
this area and urged that the name Motley Avenue be dropped and Longview
Lane be adopted in order to avoid existing confusion with Longview Lane
the alley.
Mrs. Dorothy Rasmussen, 249 Motley Avenue, objected to the proposed name
change on the basis of the historical ties to.Motley.which have been in
existence for over 100 years. She felt that a name change was very im-
portant and there would just be more confusion.
Dr. William Rasmussen, 249 Motley Avenue, objected to the proposed name
change as he felt there was no need for this change. He stated that if
a change in name and number was needed then a neutral name should be found
which would eliminate both.the name of :Longview Lane and Mot.l`iny Avenue.
In this way, there would be no confusion to anyone.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman- M i`I Ier: suggested: that ::in o.rder•::to ;avoid confusion that-the
property -owners •drop _the- Longview Lane address which. was real ly, the, r.-ear
of the property and use Motley Avenue as their address..-

Councilman Blake felt that since most of the property owners wanted the
street name changed, he could support the residents. He also agreed that
Longview Lane was a nice name.
Councilman Spring agreed with Councilman Blake that if the residents wanted
the name changed, he would not object.
Mayor Schwartz stated that if the majority of the property owners and
residents wanted the name change and were willing to put up with the con-
fusion that a number and name change would bring, he would go along with
the proposal.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Spring, the follow-
ing resolution was introduced. RESOLUTION NO. 2186, a resolution renum-
bering and renaming Motley Avenue to Longview Lane, effective July 1, 1971.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Emmons Blake, Myron Graham, Arthur F. Spring,
Kenneth E. Schwartz
NOES: Donald Q. Miller.
ABSENT: None
5. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the formation
of Underground Utility District No. 6 which would cover the area bounded
by the north side of Monterey Street, west side of Broad Street, .north
side of Palm Street and west side of Chorro Street.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented the recommendation of the.Plan-
ning Commission stating that the inclusion of the proposed District No. 6
would greatly enhance the Mission, County Museum and the Mission Plaza
and would be consistent with the City's efforts to remove overhead
utilities within the central core area.
Paul Tuttle appeared in support of the proposed underground utility district.
No one appeared against the proposal.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.

dation of the Planning Commission ro rezone Lots .15 and 16 of the San
Luis Obispo Suburban Tract from R -1 AH to R -H AH.

Planning Commission: It is the opinion of the Commission that tfis.is a
logical request in view of recent rezonings in this area and would be a
logical transition.

Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
George Callison, developer,. requested that the City Council approve the
upgrading of the zoning on this parcel for development of a high level
mobile home park.
Bob Barrows, 870 Meinecke Street, questioned the proposal to develop
' housing so close to the head works of the City sewage disposal plant.
Don Funk, Silver City Mobile Home Park, also questioned the proposal of
high density development in the direct wind direction of the City, sewer
plant.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
D. F Romero, City Engineer, wanted the City Council to be aware of the
closeness of the head works, the sludge beds and the digester to the
proposed mobile home park. He stated that while the plant was normally
under control, things could happen which would cause problems to persons
living on the windward side of the plant. He urged the City Council to
deny rezoning of this property to higher density and conform to the
existing General Plan which called for heavy commercial.
Councilman Miller stated he would oppose the recommendation for rezoning
on the basis of possible detrimental affects from the sewer plant on the
adjacent high density development. He felt that if the property were to
develop to high density residential uses, the City could be placed in a
very expensive position in having to comply with orders.controlling odors
in future years. He strongly urged the City Council to deny the request.
Councilman Sprinq suggested that the City Council hold up action on this
' rezoning until the City's sewer consultants had submitted a report on
their survey.
R. D. Young, Planning Director, stated that the subject property is
bordered on two sides by San Luis Creek, contiguous properties are zoned
R -1 and U, there is a trailer park zoned PD R -H AH across the street.
Councilman Graham asked why the Planning Commission did not require a
planned development for this property.
Councilman Blake agreed with Councilman Spring regarding the consultant
who was making the study of the sewer needed in the area.
Mayor Schwartz felt the rezoning was premature and did not follow the
General Plan. He also felt that the City Engineer's comments should be
considered.. He felt the City Council should wait for the General Plan
review and the report from the sewer consultants. He urged that thjCity
Council reject the recommendation.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Spring, that the
recommendation of the Planning.Commission to rezone be denied. Motion
carried.
7. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the annual
' review of the Capital Improvement Program for the fiscal year 1971/72.
R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, explained the steps taken to arrive
at the 1971/72 priorities •list for the Council's consideration. He ex-
plained that the lists were first presented to the Department Heads for
their priorities then the various boards and commissions reviewed the lists
and a final recommendation was made by the Administrative Officer to the
Council, along with recommendations from the Planning Commission.

Mayor Schwartz then explained that category #1 on the C. I. P. were.pro-
jects completed during the 1970/71 fiscal year, Category #2 were projects
that.were'.funded and presently under construction or were in.the planning
stage and Category #3 would be the 1971 /72.priority list.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Shirley Page, League of Women Voters, stated that the League urged the.
City Council to move ahead with items 8 and 9. Item 8 was the acquisition
of the saddle across Foothill Boulevard for open space and Item 9. was
starting a reserve for acquisition of.portions of Mount San Luis Obispo
and Bishop's Peak as open space.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Blake felt that the'C.I.P. as prepared by the.City Council was
one of the best steps taken by the Council to date in actually placing
in priority order items of major improvements for the City Counci.
Councilman Spring was in accord with the priority list as established by
the City Council.
Councilman Miller stated he, too, was in accord with the concept of the
C.I.P. and he would support the 1971/72 list. He agreed with Mrs. Page
that items 8 and 9 were extremely important to the City and the future.
He hoped that all the hills and creeks in the City could be preserved.
He .regretted that the swimming pool and lighted tennis courts and other
recreational facilities were not given a particularly.high priority by
the City Council.

matter was continued.
10. Council consideration of a resolution supporting Senate Bill 141
which would increase motor vehicle fuel taxes on distributors and allocate
the net revenue to grade separation projects.
Mayor Schwartz felt that this was of low importance to the::'City due to the
low priority of possible grade separation improvements by the State.
Councilman Miller felt this was a good program which should be supported
by the City.
On motion of.Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Graham, the follow-
ing resolution was introduced. RESOLUTION supporting Senate Bill 141
which would.increase motor vehicle fuel taxes on distributors and allocate

12. A resolution from the City of Monterey Park urging State and Federal
legislation to provide all- encompassing and adequate disaster relief funds
was received and filed.
13. The City Council discussed the People to People Viet Nam Peace Treaty.
Councilman Miller felt that the City Council should adopt the People to
People Peace Treaty between the people of the United States, South Viet
Nam and North Viet Nam. He felt the war had gone on long enough and now
the people should take over the peace negotiations as apparently the
governments were unable to arrive at.a conclusion to the war. He continued
he felt ahl people were beautiful and should not be involved in killing, etc.
Councilman Blake felt that.the.treaty as presented for Council consideration
was unclear and uncertain in its wording and he could not support it in its
present wording as he felt it was a catch -all of vague and unproven charges
against our government. He moved that consideration be tabled at this time.
Councilman Spring seconded his motion. The motion lost with Councilmen
Graham, Miller and Mayor Schwartz voting no.
Peter Knudsen, one of the group's several spokesmen for the Viet Nam
Veterans Against the War explained the purpose of the People to People
Treaty of Peace: He said it was drawn up during a recent National Students
Association trip to North Viet Nam in an attempt to get the people of the
U.S.A. and North Viet Nam to force their leaders to stop the war.
City Council Minutes
April 19, 1971
Page 10
Lawrence Elkhorn, another Viet Nam Veteran Against the War, hoped that
everyone could support the People to People Peace Treaty because.he felt
the war was getting worse every day. He then reviewed some of.his ex_
periences while in Viet Nam.
Penny Couter stated she objected to the hardship that this war was bring-
ing to the people of Viet Nam and to people in the United States and this
was the reason she supported the treaty.
Richard Buetcher, another Veteran Against the War, explained some of his
experiences in the war and the reason he supported the People to People
Peace Treaty.
Charles Wilkins objected to the proposal of requesting the City.Council to
adopt the People to People Peace Treaty as he felt this was the wrong
approach as the City Council had no control except as.indi4iduals over
the war. He agreed that this was a miserable war but felt everyone should
support their government. He urged the Council to oppose the treaty.
Councilman Miller felt the people of the United States must not sit in
silence on the Viet Nam War but must take a stand before.we even lose
the United States. He felt the war was tearing the citizenry of the
United States apart.
Councilman Graham complimented the young people for their presentation
regarding the peace treaty but he felt that this was a personal matter
and should be done on an individual basis.
Councilman Spring was opposed to the City Council adopting this proposal
as he was opposed to condemnation of President Nixon by these people..
Councilman Blake again charged that this was a catch -all of vague, un-
proven charges against the U. S. Government and he would not now or in
the future sign or support such a document. He ,continued that he re-
viewed the form from its first to last phrase and felt that no treaty
could be ratified or entered into by a City Council or foreign government.
Mayor Schwartz felt he could not.sign.the proposed peace treaty as pre-
sented as he did not feel it was a proper document in a'military action
between the people. He further felt it to be improper for the City
Council to take action on this matter as he did not feel that the City
Council really had the feeling of the citizens of San Luis Obispo on
this treaty.
Councilman Miller moved that the City Council go on record supporting the
People to People Treaty of Peace. Motion died for lack of a second.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Spring, that the
matter be tabled. Motion carried with - Councilman Graham and Miller
voting no.
14. Steve Crumley appeared before the City Council requesting a permit
for the Students for New Action Politics to hold a parade on Saturday,
April 24, 1971 starting at 12:30 on Osos Street in front of the Court-
house, to Higuera Street, down Higuera Street to Nipomo Street, then to
Marsh Street to Osos Street and disband at the starting point. '
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Graham, that the
parade permit be issued. Motion carried.
15. The City Council received a notice of a special called meeting of
the Channel Counties Division of the League of California Cities for
Friday, April 30, 1971 in Santa Barbara to discuss State Legislation
concerning control of coastal lands, etc. The notice was referred to
Councilman Graham who stated he may be able to attend.

16. Councilman Miller stated that as this would be his last official
meeting as a member'of the City Council, he wished to thank the people
in San Luis Obispo for electing him to this office for three terms and
he seriously hoped that he had helped the City and its citizens in this
period of time.
He continued that looking back over the years, he had said and done many
foolish things but he hoped the sum total of his actions had been for the
good of the community that he loves. He.also thanked the City Council
past and present for their cooperation and patience with him.
17. Robert Newhart; Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee, appeared
before the City Council requesting that a permit be granted for a "Give
the Air a Rest Day"-parade to be held on April 22, 1971 at 4:30 P. M.
