During the discussion, the Council asked the staff to report back in more detail regarding the matter of temporary storage. DISCUSSION The transmission shop serves-a City-wide need for covered storage allowing protection for certain equipment and materials. Some of the materials stored are used on an ongoing and a very regular basis at the Mission Plaza. Other material and equipment is used at other City facilities throughout the community. The transmission shop is needed at this time because of lack of covered storage at the Corporation Yard. During budget review, staff recommended that three storage containers be purchased to allow facilities to be located near their place of use. The Council determined that it would prefer permanent facilities, rather than temporary storage containers, and budgeted funds for this purpose. Rob Strong would like to take occupancy of the transmission shop by January 1 in order to develop the Children's Museum, however, City procedures and construction timing will make it impossible for the City to construct permanent storage facilities at remote locations prior to that date. The most reasonable approach would be to provide storage containers which can be purchased and delivered within a few weeks and site these containers at three locations until the permanent facilities can be constructed. The containers are 81x40 ' in size with doors located as required for convenient access. These containers are relatively portable and can easily be moved onto a site, screened, and painted to meet City conditions, and can be relocated should site conditions e- � / I����I i�iIIIIII�p� �l��U city of san Luis oBispo = COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Temporary Storage Page Two change or permanent facilities be constructed. The containers proposed to be located in Mission Plaza and Sinsheimer Park could be relocated to the Corporation Yard, painted again to match the Corporation Yard decor and utilized until the warehouse can be constructed within the next 4-5 years. Mission Plaza Staff has reviewed numerous sites in and near Mission Plaza utilizing the following guidelines: 1. The site selected should provide convenient access between the Plaza and the storage facility. 2. The site selected should be unobtrusive so as not to detract from Mission Plaza. 3 . The site and the continued City access should not intrude into the neighborhood. Considering these criteria, staff feels that the site which best meets the City need is alongside the Children's Museum (Exhibit A) . The site has good access to Mission Plaza, is partially screened by the building and hedge, does not encroach into the neighborhood, and can further be painted and decorated to fit into the Children's Museum theme. Sinsheimer Park A similar analysis was used for finding a site for a temporary container at Sinsheimer Park. Staff's choice is a site located outside of the ballpark wooden fence along the third baseline (Exhibit B) . Corporation Yard A third storage unit is needed to replace all of the remaining storage within the transmission shop. This unit would be located at the Corporation Yard (Exhibit C) . When a permanent structure is constructed at Sinsheimer Park and at Mission Plaza, the two containers could be relocated to the Corporation Yard and utilized for several years until the warehouse is constructed. All of the temporary storage containers will be painted and screened per requirements of the City.

The 1989-91 budget includes $26, 000 for construction of permanent facilities. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the three containers be purchased and installed on a temporary basis until permanent facilities can be constructed, thus allowing utilization of the transmission shop facility for a Children's Museum in the very near future.
