BACKGROUND: On October 29, 1991, the City Council directed staff to provide Open Space Element progress reports to the City Council on a quarterly basis. On January 21, 1992, the first status report and timeline was provided to the Council. The schedule and timeline provided in the January report was received and filed by the Council. This report constitutes the second progress report and incorporates a minor change to Exhibit A. i.e. , the potential addition of a seventh Open Space Element Advisory Committee workshop. STATUS REPORT: A. Open Space Element Advisory Committee (OSEAC) Accomplishments. Four workshop meetings have been conducted, i.e. , on February 22nd, March 9th, March 28th, and April 11th, 1992. Attendance has varied at the workshops from roughly 60 to 30 persons. Minutes from the first two workshops have been forwarded to the City Council. Nest Steps. Continue workshops. schedule Changes. The previous schedule indicated that there would be a total of six workshops, and that these workshops would begin in late February, 1992 and extend through late May, 1992. At this time it is anticipated that a seventh workshop will be added to the schedule. The additional workshop would be added due to OSEAC and staff's concerns that there may not be adequate time to cover all open space issues within the six scheduled meetings. The seventh workshop will be scheduled for late May or the first week in June. The additional workshop would allow more time for OSEAC and public interaction and debate, but would not prolong the deliberation of the OSEAC significantly (since Committee meetings were slated to be C-° - �iiH��►�uIIViIIIIIIIIPp1 ��►��U city of san leis oBispo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT May 5, 1992 - Status Report -- page 2 completed by the end of May, 1992) . B. Consultant Workshops Accomplishments. On January 7, 1992, the City Council approved a consultant contract with Pete Dangermond. Dangermond and City staff have completed four workshops. Nest Steps.

No schedule changes are proposed beyond those indicated in A above. C. Financial Study Accomplishments. On February 4 , 1992, the City Council approved a consultant contract with Economics Research Associates (ERA) .

Open Space Element Accomplishments. staff has been preparing the framework for the Open Space Element.

The OSEAC, City Commissions, the Council, and members of the public should receive the format for review in early May, 1992. Two workshops have been scheduled for OSEAC review of the format. After OSEAC review has been completed, and the document revised, a Draft Open Space Element will be forwarded to the Park and Recreation Commission for their review in June, 1992.

This change may represent a slight alteration to the Element's scheduled timeline, i.e. , an additional week. The addition of this workshop would allow for more discussion time for the OSEAC. I As noted in the January 21, 1992 status report, Exhibit A is a "best case" attempt to incorporate the City Council's concerns and still allow for meaningful community input. As with any best case representation, delays may occur. Through these quarterly status reports or through more immediate means staff will keep the Council informed of potential or actual delays. FISCAL BIPACT: The costs associated with the proposed schedule have already been incorporated into the budget for the Open Space Element. There are no new costs associated with this schedule. OTHER ALTERNATIVES: 1. Propose minor changes to the schedule. 2 . Propose major changes to the schedule and have staff return to the Council with these changes at the earliest possible date.
