1. Mayor Cooper announced that the purpose of the meeting was to
meet with the City School Board Members, City Planning Commission and Council
to discuss uses of city schools surplus to educational needs of the district
at this time.
Bill Neuman, Administrative Officer for the school district, reviewed for
the City Council the school district's financial situation at this
time and also the anticipated reduction of funds from the state to
support the school district. He continued that the school board had
two alternatives to the existing situation: 1) close schools, or
2) allow the district to rent unused classrooms to other governmental
agencies or to private properties. The present school board would like
to work with the City Council and ability to rent unused school class-
rooms rather than close the schools which might be needed at some future
time; and also that this has been the recommendation of the citizens of
the various neighborhoods who wish their schools left open so that
children can go to school in the neighborhood. He also reminded the
council that the school board has been cutting down their bus transportation
program. He felt that today's meeting was to be more of a general
discussion of the possibilities of allowing the city to look into the
possibility of adopting some type of ordinance to allow rental of class-
rooms by the school district. He then submitted for the city council's
review a report prepared by the 1980 -81 advisory committee to study more
economic operation of schools dated January 6, 1981, and a report from
the city of Belmont, California which has already faced this issue in
cooperation with the city and they have allowed them to rent individual
buildings or portions of buildings to public and private agencies. It

was Bill Neuman's opinion supported by various members of the school board
present that the only way that the school system can continue to operate
without selling off a number of schools would be to allow them to rent to
both public and private agencies within certain guidelines presented by
the council. For example, no businesses that require great transportation
to and from the school district buildings, etc. He said that the school
board staff was always ready to meet with the city staff to try to work some
of these programs out. The City Council, School Board, the Advisory Board,
and Planning Commission and staff members discussed the school district
proposal.to rent unused classrooms and what potentials were seen by the
administrative staff at this point in this program. After free discussion
of ideas, the city staff.was directed to: 1) contact the city of Belmont
and get the detail on their program; 2) draft a list of appropriate uses for
unused classrooms; 3) coordinate closely and help school district with
general plan process and; 4) staff to cooperate and move as quickly as we can
to accomodate the school board.
Mayor Cooper thanked the members of the school board advisory staff that
were present and school board staff for bringing this matter to their
attention and they said they hoped that they would be able to come up with
some supportive conclusions in the near future.
Mayor Cooper left the meeting due to a possible conflict of interest.

3. Jim Stockton, Parks and Recreation Director, submitted for
the council's consideration-:,a resolution establishing a priority plan for
expenditures of proposition no. 1 monies. He stated that the county
of San Luis Obispo is requesting a claim for these monies by cities and
special districts by January 30, 1981. Whereas two of these projects would
possibly not be spent on these particular projects, he felt that the council
should get their name in as the county is going to be the coordinating agency.

Mayor Cooper left the meeting due to a possible conflict of interest.
1. At this time the City Council considered accepting _t he public
improvements in.Tract:798 (the - Villages), located at 501 South Street;:'_: _.
Gann Investments; subdivider.
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, stated that all the improvements in the
tract are in and accepted by the city and subdivision agreement conditions have
been met, except for a conflict as to condition' #11 which required a solid 8 foot
high masonry wall adjacent to Meadow Park. He recommended that the council
accept the subdivision improvements for maintenance. He concluded his comments
by saying if the wall were not required to be extended the public services
department recommends traffic barricades acceptable to the city engineer,
be installed to preclude vehicular access to and from Meadow Park.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that Tract 687 and 736 had
implied a requirement for a solid 8 foot high masonry wall in the tract boundary
with Meadow Park. During the metamorphosis of this project, openings were
permitted from the Village and these are shown in improved subdivision
improvement plans and ARC plans. There has been at least one reported incident
of vandalism by a car coming out of the Village and damaging the park area.
He would ask the council support efforts on the part of the applicant to preclude
vehicular access from the vehicle. This could be accomplished by continuing
