made a presentation to the City Council on behalf of the Lord Provost of
Edinburgh, Scotland.

2. At this time the City Council held a public hearing to discuss the
policies on issuance of parking tickets by the City Police Department.
Captain Don Englert, San Luis Obispo Police Department, reviewed for the City
Council the problems facing the enforcement of parking in the city, which was
primarily the fact tickets were being issued by the city but not being enforced
by the Municipal Court. He felt this made it very difficult for enforcement
personnel.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
No one appeared before the City Council for or against the matter.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Petterson felt that this was an administrative matter and that the
Administrative Officer in his capacity should look into this negotiation with
the county as to enforcement of the parking tickets and if there was some
problem bring it back to the City Council. He did not feel this was the Council's
job to complete it -- but for the Administrative Officer to do what he could do
to get it straightened out.
Councilman Graham agreed that this was another typical job for the Administrative
Officer and it should be completed by him before bringing it to,the City Council.
Councilman Gurnee reviewed the problems to date and felt the Council should order
enforcement of all overtime parking regardless of who the person works for or is
employed by.

Councilman Norris felt that full enforcement on all parking violations should
be carried out, but he felt in view of the recent negotiations with the County
Board of Supervisors for construction of the Courthouse Downtown, the Council
should tread very softly and not rock the boat and upset the Supervisors.
Mayor Schwartz agreed that the Administrative Officer is the responsible
person who should look into this matter, contacting the County Board of
Supervisors, County Municipal Court, etc., and then make a recommendation to
the City. Council which would handle the problem. It should not be handled by 1
the City Council at a public meeting.
On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Graham, the matter
was referred to the Administrative Officer to delineate a policy and then
contact the County and State as to what the problems are and what exemptions
are necessary if needed. The report to be back in writing to the City Council
within 60 days. Motion carried, all ayes.
3. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation
of the Planning Commission concerning resource deficiencies pursuant to
Ordinance No. 604 -A on the following projects:
Mayor.Schwartz.suggested that the City take each item separately under each
level of.deficiency.
Level I Deficienc
1)
City Water Treatment
Filtration Plant
operating capability.
Mayor
Schwartz declared the
public hearing
open.
Don Smith..felt.the Council should be very careful and he felt that this matter
was very serious and should not be passed over lightly as is being recommended
by the city staff. He felt this was one of those warnings that were made
necessary for Ordinance 604 -A -- while its true the city could proceed as they
have, limping along, he felt now was the time for the Council to look very
carefully at this particular problem.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Gurnee felt that the Council should be forewarned that they face
a very serious problem in water supply and processing in the near future.and
he hoped that the Council would face up to the problem as soon as possible in
order to avoid a crisis situation later when the heat really starts in the
community. He felt the staff recommendations had looked at this matter too
lightly and not as serious as he felt they should.
Councilman Norris felt that this warning was the reason 604 -A was adopted by
the Council and he felt Council should keep their eye on this problem and
begin planning to correct the filtration plant as time went on.
Councilman Petterson stated he would support the Planning Commission's
recommendation on the Filtration Plant problem and also he felt the Council
was on top of the matter.
Councilman Graham stated he would accept the Planning Commission recommendation
until the water studies have been received from Engineering Science.
Mayor Schwartz too stated he would accept the recommendation of the Planning
Commission at this time and felt that the deficiency warning was what Ordinance
604 -A was adopted for and the Council will have to face improvements to the
Water Treatment Plant in the future.
Mrs..Wesley Conner, President of the League of Women Voters, stated that owing
to the intensity and duration of the heat wave in June, the city is once more
reminded of the deficiency in its Water Treatment Plant. She stated had this
situation occurred in August and September coinciding with the students return
the problem of plant overload would have been more critical. She stated that
the League of.Women Voters urged:the Council to be cautious in prematurely
City Council Minutes
July 19, 1976
Page 3
lifting the moratorium and adopt an interim strategy for dealing with the
deficiency until Engineering Sciences has submitted its report for consideration
and discussion. She also - stated that the League concurs that the City Council
should develop a program of public education as to the water situation and
means of conservation. Not only should the staff monitor applications for new
developments but also defer them until such time as the water crisis is resolved.
She stated that the League of Women Voters felt the City has the moral and
legal obligation to existing residents and if the fulfillment of that obliga-
tion was in question it hardly seemed appropriate to extend the city's
responsibilities. She also felt that new residents had the right to adequate
facilities and services. The city should not plan for more housing units then
it has water for fire protection.
Councilman Gurnee stated he felt that the 604 -A deficiency hearings were a
farce as the Council just accepted whatever was recommended by the Planning
Commission and staff with no future provisions being made to correct these
various deficiencies.
It was moved by Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Norris, that the
City Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and continue
the study when Engineering Sciences reports on the water system. Motion
carried with Councilmen Graham and Gurnee voting no.
2) Use Permit request, industrial building expansion at 2899 McMillan
Avenue, M -S AH Zone, Wheeler Construction Co., applicant.
The deficiency at the site is presently served by a private disposal system.
Plans are being prepared at this time to extend a sanitary sewer to serve this
property. This project is being processed utilizing assessment district
proceedings. Although the city receives 72% signup favoring the district (the
subject property owner included), until the plans and specifications and assess-
ments are confirmed (after a public hearing on the project, scheduled for early
' Fall 1976) and bond and construction bids are received, there is no guarantee
the project will proceed. The lack of sewers in this area is to be treated as
a Level I Deficiency by City Council action.
The Planning Commission recommended that the project be permitted to proceed
subject to the following conditions:
1) Septic tank system shall be certified by the County Health Department
as sufficient to serve the additional land use activity.
2) All owners having an interest in the subject property shall sign
and record an agreement to run with the land by which they waive all
tights to protest and agree to participate in a sewer assessment
district.
3) That a sewer lateral be extended to the street from either plumbing
in the existing main building or from plumbing installed in the
building addition.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
No one appeared before the City Council for or against the proposal.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed
On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Graham, that the
City Council..accept the recommendation of the three conditions established by
the Planning Commission. Motion carried, all ayes.
3) Use Permit request, 36- apartment units at 1230 Murray Ave., R -0 zone,
VIP Future Corp., applicants.
The project would be served by a 6" sewer line in Hathway Avenue running at
a critical level beyond its capability. A parallel sewer is scheduled to be
installed by the Developer of an adjacent proposed 84 -unit complex as a condition
of Use Permit approval. However, as of this time, no plans have been submitted,
nor is there any actual guarantee of the installation of said sewer. Until
such time as this is guaranteed the city must continue to consider this as a
Level I Deficiency. The parallel sewer line would be 400 ft. in length.
City Council Minutes
July 19, 1976
Page 4
In regards to, the water availability, the city has determined that adequate
fire flows will not be met unless an 8" diameter main is extended westerly
in Murray Avenue, from the existing 10" diameter main in Hathway Avenue to
the subject site.
Both sewer and water deficiencies are considered critical.
The Planning Commission recommended that the project be allowed to proceed
subject to the following conditions:
1) If the parallel sewer referenced in paragraph one above is not
constructed, the applicant of the subject property would be
required to install same prior to the issuance of a building
permit and as a condition of Use Permit approval.
2) The applicant shall construct the water line extension as referenced
in paragraph two above prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
No one appeared before the City Council for or against the proposal.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Mayor Schwartz, that the City
Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission, Item Nos. 1 & 2.
Motion carried with Councilman Gurnee voting no.
4) Use Permit request, apartment complex 1151 -1155 Murray Avenue, R -0 zone,
Roger Brown, applicant.
The deficiency consists of a development with 12 studio apartments on a.site
containing two existing single - family residences. The increased sewage flow
generated by the equivalent of approximately seven units will not significantly
affect the flow in the sewers, although some surcharging is presently occurring
during peak flow periods.
The-city-proposes to construct a parallel sewer line from Murray and Casa
Streets, southerly through Santa Rosa Park, to Santa Rosa Street, to eliminate
this presently overloaded condition.
The 1976 -77 fiscal budget included monies to fund this project. We antici-
pate completion within six to eight months.
The Planning Commission felt this was a "critical point" determination.
Planning Commission recommended that because of the remedial action already
scheduled, they "recommend that the project should be allowed to proceed with no
conditions or requirements attached.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
Don Smith appeared before the City Council opposed to the development due to
the densities which was in opposition to the adopted general plan.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Norris, seconded.by Councilman Petterson, the City
Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission to take no steps
on this deficiency. Motion carried with Councilman Gurnee voting no.
Level II Deficiency:
1) Use Permit request, 36- apartment units, 1230 Murray Avenue, R -0 zone,
VIP Future Corp., applicants.
The deficiency involves the density of 32- dwelling units per acre. The
adopted general plan specifies parks and open space, recommending the expan-
sion of Santa Rosa Park. The proposal, while being inconsistent with the
adopted general plan.is consistent with the proposed plan recommending high -
density residential.

but take no action.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
No one appeared before the City Council for or against the proposal.

Councilman Gurnee stated he was opposed to the conflict with the general plan,
either the adopted or the proposed plan. He felt the Council was being direlect
in their duty in not enforcing adopted plans of the City.
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Graham, that the Council
deny the permit as a violation of the existing general plan land use because
of the density. Motion lost on a 2 -3 vote with Councilmen Norris, Petterson
and Mayor Schwartz voting no.
On motion of Councilman Norris, seconded by Councilman Petterson, that the
City Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission to note the
inconsistency but take no action. Motion carried with Councilmen Graham and

Meyer, Merriam and Associates, applicants.
The deficiency consisted of the project being inconsistent with the adopted
general plan inasmuch as the site specificies a parks and open space land use
for the subject site. The proposed general plan specifies office use with
conditionally permitted residential use not to exceed 16- dwelling units per
acre.
The project proposed a density of 29 -units per acre.
The Planning Commission recommended that no action be taken to withhold or
delay the Building Permit unless the City Council was interested in entering
into negotiations to purchase the-property.
Plans for the Mission Plaza Extension when presented in a schematic fashion
includes schemes for the use of the subject block, Palm to Monterey south
of the Museum for library site, cultural center or parking area. The
schematic plans for Mission Plaza Extension and related schemes for surrounding
area will be reviewed by the Design Review Board on July 16, 1976, and forwarded
to the City Council for consideration. Working drawings for the proposed
apartment project are being prepared and the City Council would have to act immed-
iately if they are amenable to the block being used for public purposes.
The City Council noted the deficiency but took no action.
On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Gurnee, the City Council
continue.' the matter at 630 Monterey Street and direct the Administrative
Officer to prepare an appraisal for acquisition of this property by the City
of San Luis Obispo. Motion carried.
3) Building Permit request, apartment complex 630 Monterey Street, R -4 zone,
Meyer, Merriam and Associates, applicants representative.
The deficiency is that the project is inconsistent with the adopted general
plan isasmuch as the plan specifies a multiple - family residential land use.
The proposed general plan, however, specifies a service - commercial industrial
land use which is consistent with the project.

go and not just be spent by the city. He felt that the city just kept
increasing and increasing revenues with no real idea where they wish to spend
it.
City Council Minutes
July 19, 1976
Page 7
Dick Willard opposed to any increase in the various fees and taxes at
this time when the budget has already been approved, is in balance and it
is just extra money for the Council to spend and play with. He hoped the
Council would consider the retired and old folks who cannot afford more expend-
itures for the City Council.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Norris stated that he was opposed to increasing the bed tax or
any other taxes as the budget for this year has been balanced, has been.
approved and that the money is not needed. He further stated there was no
program for the funds, just more money to play with for the staff and for the
Council.
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Petterson, that the
City Council adopt a resolution of intention that any tax increases added by
the City Council should be put into a separate account for preparation of plans
and specifications for the swimming pool complex at Sinsheimer Park.
Councilman Graham disagreed and felt that these increased funds should be used
for a cultural center, not for a swimming pool.
Motion lost on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Gurnee and Petterson
NOES: Councilmen Graham, Norris and Mayor Schwartz
ABSENT: None
On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Mayor Schwartz, that the City
Council adopt a policy statement that any increase in funds would go to the
improving of city facilities and they urged that the city staff prepare an
ordinance and resolutions making the necessary rate increases. Motion carried
with Councilman Norris voting no.
9:20 p.m., Mayor Schwartz declared a recess.
9:30 p.m., the City Council reconvened with all Councilmen present.
The City Council then continued their discussion of the various increases in
taxes, fees, charges, etc.
4 -(2) Private Fire Alarm Panel Installation.
R. Lingel, Automatic Alarm, had no objection to the city's increasing the
rates, but he wished the Council to know that if this happened private
companies who handled automatic alarms would just have to pass the rate onto
their individual customers due to the city's increase. He just wanted the City
Council to be aware that they were not helping anyone but just hurting one more
person.
On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Mayor Schwartz, the City Attorney
was directed to prepare an ordinance or resolution necessary to increase the
private fire alarm system.
4 -(3) Water Rates Recommendation,
Councilman Norris stated that without full information on water consumption,
block rates, etc., this consideration be continued until all the information
was available.
R. Muravez, Finance Director, stated information would be available in about
four weeks, although he submitted some general information on 49 other cities
in California on consumption rates, etc.
City Council Minutes
July 19, 1976
Page 8
H. Brown warned the City Council that if the water rates continued to
rise, which was almost prohibitive at this time, that property owners would then
let their lawns and gardens go and the Council would see more concrete, rocks,
etc. and if they wished to do this that was fine.
H. Cooper, San Luis Obispo, agreed that the way to conserve water was to
increase the water rates, but he disagreed with the concept of increasing
water rates == if the city needed water to grow, then maybe a bond issue
was the way to go to let new people pay their share of the various water
improvements. 0
Don Smith was in favor of increasing water rates in order to conserve the
water. He felt that any amount we were paying was for growth and growth
development.
Mike DeNeve, County Building Contractors' Association, asked for more infor-
mation on water before increasing rates.
Councilman Petterson stated he felt water rate increases were needed now in
order to put cost of providing water on the water consumer.
Councilman Graham stated he was in support of the water rate increase as
needed now, but he felt the Council should have more information on the impact
of lowering the minimum quantity and increasing brackets.
Councilman Gurnee felt the Council should wait until consumption information
was available. He felt a rate increase was needed but at what magnitude?
Also, the rate change would increase the revenue from the utility tax. He
urged that any increase in utility tax be offset by reduction in the property
tax rate. He also urged an increase in utility hook -up fees.
Councilman Norris asked for continued consideration until all consumption
information is available.
Mayor Schwartz felt that utility rate increases were needed now, but he would
be willing to wait for consumption information. He felt that what these rate
increases would do would be to force water conservation.
On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Mayor Schwartz, that the City
Attorney be directed to prepare the appropriate ordinances and resolutions
to implement the water rate increases. Motion carried with Councilman Norris
voting no.
4 -(4) Increase Sewer Service Charges from$1.50 /month to $3.00 /mont
single familv residence and all other rates DroDortionately.
Councilman Graham asked can sewer rates be adjusted in order to protect the low
income citizens of the City.
Dave Romero, Director of Public Services, stated that once the city accepts the
federal grant, no special rates can be used. Everyone must pay equitably and
on the same basis.
Councilman Gurnee stated the rate increase was needed in order to pay the
city's share of enlarging the sewer plant at this time.
Councilman Norris stated he was opposed to rate increase -- he felt that
City Council has adopted a balanced budget and they should only raise rates
when funds were needed.
Councilman Petterson stated he felt the rate increase was needed now in order
to pay the city's share of the sewer plant enlargement.
Councilman Graham hoped that someday the city would face the issue -- raise
sufficient funds to make the utilities pay their own way.
Mayor Schwartz agreed.

On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Petterson, that the
City Attorney be directed to prepare and ordinance and /or resolution for
Council consideration of raising the sewer service charges. Motion carried
with Councilman Norris voting no.
4 -(5) The General Plan Amendments - $250 per amendment application.
Mike DeNeve, County Building Contractors' Association, opposed the fee at
this time as the general plan was now under consideration and he hoped the
City Council would bring this general plan into conformity with the zoning
plan without forcing the property owners to amend the general plan with each
rezoning request.
On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Gurnee, that the City Attorney
prepare an ordinance to be effective upon passage of the 1976 Revised General
Plan. Motion carried with Councilman Petterson voting no.
4 -(6) Increase in Golf Course Green Fees - Laguna Lake.
Robert Leitcher stated he was in support as he felt that this was the type of
recreational item that should pay its own way - -- not expect the city taxpayers
to pay for recreation.
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Graham, that the City
Attorney be directed to prepare a draft ordinance for Council consideration at
a later meeting date. Motion carried, all ayes.
5. At this time the City Council considered the final passage of Ordinance
No. 676 (1976 Series), an ordinance amending the official zone map of the City

6. Communication from Stanely V. Cole, Stanley Motor Company, asking Council
consideration of the drainage improvement changes made to his property at
1041 & 1043 Higuera Street. He asked for a reduction in his assessment as he
signed the agreement on February 23, 1971 with an estimated cost of $4,200
as his share of the cost. But when the work was done in the Summer of
1974, the cost had gone up and he felt that the city should abide by the
1971 agreement and not have him pay more funds.
On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Gurnee, the City
1. Council reduced Stanley Cole's share of the drainage improvements by 20% from
$7,930.00 to $6,344.00.
Mayor Schwartz stated he felt that the city was wrong in delaying the construc-
tion of this creek improvement and had they done their work as agreed on, he
felt the cost would have been much lower as agreed on by the property owner.
He felt that the city was largely responsible for the increase in cost and
he felt that Mr. Cole should not have to pay more than the original agreement.

had been given the responsibility to develop the Sinsheimer complex under the
general plans and master plans approved by the Council and they felt if the
Council was dissatisfied with their work, they should remove the committee
rather than add a second committee.

committee of one to meet with the Joint Advisory Committee and explain the
reason for his requesting the appointment of this additional committee under
