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. I City Council Minutes July 19, 1976 Page 2 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. City Council Minutes July 19, 1976 Page 5 The Planning Commission recommended that the Council note the inconsistency but take no action. 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. 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 Gurnee voting no. 2) Building Permit request, apartment complex 630 Monterey Street, R -4 zone, 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. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council note the inconsistency but take no action. City Council Minutes July 19, 1976 Page 6 The City Council noted the deficiency but took no action at this time. 4) Building Permit request, industrial building at 2260 Beebee Street, M zone, Priest, Richmond, Wolfe and Rossi, applicant's representative.

Bob Leitcher urged the Council to adopt policy ofwhere the extra monies would 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. City Council Minutes July 19, 1976 Page 9 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 of San Luis Obispo to rezone 169 & 175 High Street from C -H, heavy commercial, to R -2, residential medium density, Edward Salas, applicant.. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open. No one appeared before the City Council for or against the proposed zoning. Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed.

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.

Communication from the members of the Joint Advisory Committee stating their amazement and disapproval of the newly appointed task force to be doing what they feel is primarily the duties of the Joint Advisory Committee by Resolution No. 3076 (1976 Series). The committee members felt that they 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. After discussion by the City Council, it was moved by Councilman Norris, seconded by Councilman Petterson, that Councilman Gurnee be appointed as a committee of one to meet with the Joint Advisory Committee and explain the reason for his requesting the appointment of this additional committee under Resolution No. 3076 (1976 Series), and to try and mitigate any conflict between the committees.
