COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
FROM: Wayne A. Peterson, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Surface Parking Lot at Marsh and Broad Streets
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution of a Preliminary Determination and of an Intention
to Make Acquisitions and Improvements, Downtown Parking Assessment
District of 1983
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with adopted city policy staff has begun preparing plans
and specifications for the construction of a surface parking lot on the
corner of Marsh and Broad Streets. To obtain funding for the project the
city has already retained the services of Jones, Hall, Hill and White,
attorneys who specialize in the formation of assessment districts.
The first step in the process of forming an assessment district is the
adoption of the attached resolution which sets out rules under which the
assessment district will be later formed and the work that is to be paid
for by the assessment district. Prior to the Council meeting, a boundary
map was filed in the office of the City Clerk setting out the boundaries
for the proposed assessment district. This particular resolution
identifies the properties which will be purchased with the proceeds of
this assessment district. It also describes in general terms the project
that is to be built. The resolution calls for the filing of an engineer's
report at a future date which will more completely describe the project.
In addition, the resolution says that it is the intention of the Council
to consider adopting an ordinance which will authorize contributions by
the city from any source of revenue available to it to assist in the
repayment of the bond. This will allow the city to make contributions
to the assessment district from the parking fund as well as from the BIA.
Staff has been rapidly preparing plans and specifications for this project.
We are now in the process of applying to the ARC and Community Development
Department for a Use Permit.
While the plans and specifications are being processed through the city
approval procedures, it is the intention of staff to prepare notices to
the property owners within the district telling them of the project and
explaining to them the method of assessment spread. We hope to work out
any problems with the assessment formula during this period of time. We
also plan to keep the public informed as to what is happening and make
them aware of the project's schedule.
It is our hope to have the final engineer's report as well as the plans
and specifications to the City Council in January for approval. It is
at that meeting that Council will set a date for a public hearing at which
the Council will receive testimony from property owners as to their desires
to continue with the project. I would estimate that that meeting will
be held in February. At that time we should have the construction cost

of the project and right-of-way as well as the interest rate for the bonds.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council can choose to approve, continue or reject this resolution.
Approving the resolution doesn't guarantee or assure anyone that the Council
would continue the project and approve it in the future. Failure to pass
the resolution prohibits the Council from proceeding further into the
project. Essentially, the only logical action is to approve the attached
resolution if the Council plans on continuing with the hearing process.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Passage of this resolution means that city staff will continue to complete
the plans and specifications for the project and the acquisition of the
needed right-of-way. All of these costs can be reimbursed through the
assessment district should it be ultimately approved. If the assessment
district is not approved then any costs funded by the city at this time
would be lost. A complete set of plans and specifications for the project
should cost about $5,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution of a preliminary determination and of an intention to
make acquisitions and improvements, Downtown Parking Assessment District
of 1983.

AND OF INTENTION TO
MAKE ACQUISITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS -
DOWNTOWN PARKING ASSESSMENT
DISTRICT OF 1983
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo, County of
San Luis Obispo, California, that it does hereby preliminarily determine that
the public interest, convenience and necessity require, and that it intends to
order the making of the acquisitions and improvements described in Exhibit "A"
attached hereto and made a part hereof.
1. Except as herein otherwise provided for the issuance of bonds, all
of said work shall be done as provided in the Municipal Improvement Act of
1913 and Section 19 of Article XVI of the Constitution of the State of
Ca .Ti f orn i a.
2. All of said work and improvements are to be constructed at the
places and in the particular locations, of the forms, sizes, dimensions and
materials, and at the lines, grades and elevations, as shown and delineated
upon the plans, profiles and specifications to be made therefor, as
hereinafter provided. There is to be excepted from the work above described
any of such work already done to line and grade and marked excepted or shown
not to be done on said plans, profiles and specifications. Whenever any
public way is herein referred to as running between two public ways, or from
or to any public way, the intersections of the public ways referred to are
included to the extent that work is shown on said plans to be done therein.
Said streets and highways are or will be more particularly shown in the
R 4995
records in the office of the County Recorder of County of San Luis Obispo,
State of California, and shall be shown upon said plans.
3. Notice is hereby given of the fact that in many cases said work and
improvements will bring the finished work to a grade different from that
formerly existing, and that to said extent said grades are hereby changed and
that said work will be done to said changed grades.
4. In cases where there is any disparity in level or size between the
improvements proposed to be made herein and private property and where it is
more economical to eliminate such disparity by work on said private property
than by adjustment of the work on public property, it is hereby determined
that it is in the public interest and more economical to do such work on
private property to eliminate. such disparity. In such cases, said work on
private property shall, with the written consent of the owner of said
property, be done and the actual cost thereof may be added to the proposed
assessment of the lot on which said work is to be done.
5. This Council does hereby adopt and establish as the official grades
for said work the grades and elevations to be shown upon said plans, profiles
and specifications. All such grades and elevations are to be in feet and
decimals thereof with reference to the datum plane of this City.
6. The descriptions of the acquisitions and improvements and the
termini of the work contained in this Resolution are general in nature. All
items of work do not necessarily extend for the full length of the description
thereof. The plans and profiles of the work and maps and descriptions as
contained in the Engineer's Report, hereinafter directed to be made and filed,
shall be controlling as to the correct and detailed description thereof.

7. Said contemplated acquisitions and improvements, in the opinion, of
this Council, are of more than local or ordinary public benefit, and the costs
and expenses thereof are made chargeable upon an assessment district, the
exterior boundaries of which are shown on a map thereof on file in the office
of the City Clerk, to which reference is hereby made for further particulars.
Said map indicates by a boundary line the extent of the territory included in
the proposed district and shall govern for all details as to the extent of the
assessment district.
8. This Council declares that all public streets, highways, lanes and
alleys within said assessment district in use in the performance of a public
function, and all lands owned by any public entity, including the United
States and the State of California, or any departments thereof, shall be
omitted from the assessment hereafter to be made to cover the costs and
expenses of said acquisitions and improvements.
9. Said acquisitions and improvements are hereby referred to Wayne
Peterson, City Engineer of this City, as the officer having charge and control
of acquisitions and construction of public improvements in and for this City
of the kind described herein, and said officer is hereby directed to make and

expenses of said acquisitions and improvements upon the several subdivisions
of land in said district in proportion to the estimated benefits to be,
received by such subdivisions, respectively, from said, acquisitions and
improvements. Said assessment shall refer. to said subdivisions by their
respective numbers as assigned pursuant to subparagraph (d) of this paragraph.
When any portion or percentage of the costs and expenses of said
acquisitions and improvements is to be paid from sources other than
assessments, the amount of such portion or percentage shall first be deducted
from the total estimated cost and expenses of said acquisitions and
improvements, and said assessment shall include only the remainder of the
estimated cost and expenses.
10. If any excess shall be realized from the assessment it shall be
used, in such amounts as this Council may determine, in accordance with the.
provisions of law, for one or more of the following purposes:
(a) Transfer to the general fund of this City, provided that the
amount of any such transfer shall not exceed the lesser of $1,000 or 5% of the
