Communication from A.J. Shaw objecting to the requirement of paying both park in
lieu fees of $150 per unit and also being required to pay the building construction
tax. It was the Attorneys feeling that the City was attempting to extract from a
developer at least twice as much in park fees as was authorized by the City's own
laws. Therefore, he requested that condition #1 of the subdivision agreement be
amended and that the City only require the in lieu park fees for the development.
City Council Minutes
June 21, 1977
Page 4
D.F. Romero, Director of Public Services, stated that it was his understanding
that the City's intent in adopting the construction tax was to find a means of
charging park fees against properties which were not being subdivided. A
property would be subject to one fee or the other, but not both. He therefore
recommended that the City Council consider Art Shaw's appeal.
Dan Smith, Associate Planner, also stated that he felt Mr. Shaw was right and
recommended that the City Council accept the subdivision.agreement as revised
and suggested by Art Shaw.
D.F. Romero then stated it was his recommendation that the City require the
building setback and offer of dedication, with the developer to repair the
existing improvements but that the street not be widened at this time. Further,
>if the current circulation element studies indicate the desirability of widening
that portion of Broad Street and if the City could find a way to recover the
costs from the Department of Transportation, the City would always have the option
of widening this portion of Broad Street at some future date.

Communication from the San Luis City Employees Association; stating the City
employees working at City Hall were concerned about.the present problems .
associated with the City Hall parking lot, understanding that there were too
many people and too few parking spaces available to accommodate every person
working at City Hall. However, all employees had a permit and this gave them
each the same opportunity to use what parking was available in the City Hall
lot. The Employees.Association. objected to the.proposal to decrease the number
of parking spaces available for employee parking by installing 36 minute meters
in the City Hall lot and granting parking permits to a limited number of specific
employees. The Employees Association submitted the following alternative: Place
36- minute parking along the entire block of Oso.s Street on both sides between
Palm and Mill Streets (either metered or.non- metered). There were presently 17
parking spaces within this block, all now.two -hour metered parking. If the two
spaces between the City Hall driveways were.converted to a_.loading zone, this
would make 15 spaces available to the public on a 36- minute basis, usually enough
time to conduct business at the Courthouse, City Hall, Library,-Phone Company, etc.
Then issue parking permits::for the City Hall only.to full -time permanent City
employees and Council members. The permits.would work as they did now, as an
opportunity to use available parking in the lot.with no guarantee of.any particular
space for a particular person, but to-be used on a first -come, first- served basis
by those given permits.
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Dunin, both communications
dealing with parking policy and plan for the.City Hall parking lot were referred
to the City Traffic Committee. Motion carried.

D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, stated that
the specifications for the
piece of equipment were written around Case Equipment
including a torque con-
verter, power shift and four cylinder engine which
excluded John Deere and Ford
Equipment from the specifications. When the bids were received June 15, John
Deere Equipment was low, listing several exceptions
to the specifications. He
stated he had discussed these bids with sales representatives
from two of the
companies, and with his own staff, and had concluded
that the John Deere equip-
ment would be perfectly satisfactory for the City's
purposes. But the manner
in which the bids were presented, would undoubtedly
result in_some distortions,
therefore, he recommended that all bids be rejected
and that the City readvertise
with modified specifications which could be:.met by
the three top suppliers.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Petterson, all bids for
"INDUSTRIAL WHEEL TRACTOR WITH LOADER AND BACKHOE" were rejected and the staff
was authorized to call for new bids. Motion carried.
