Design Concent. and Site Operations With the program concepts in mind, the committee reviewed all previously considered locations for suitability. The committee also visited other properties which were available for purchase or lease. These other locations are included in the minutes from the committee's meetings (Attachment 3). After much discussion and review, it was the position of the committee that the only location which would meet needs of this project was the City owned property on Prado Road. Once the site had been selected, members of the committee discussed immediate and potential program needs for the site. These discussions generated concepts and potential collaborations which included not only groups represented on the committee but also such providers as the Salvation Army and the Department of Mental Health. There was a strong consensus that the site had to be developed to meet the current and future needs of the homeless population. Working with local architect Charles Crotser, the group began to look at how the site could be designed and developed to provide necessary services within the limited resources available to all groups. After many iterations the attached concept design was approved by the committee (Attachment 4). As was previously presented to the Council, the actual construction of the site is intended to be a joint responsibility of the City and representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and BIA. It is anticipated that some volunteer labor may also come from the other groups or from some of the clients themselves. It was also agreed that while details would still need to be resolved, the primary responsibility for support and funding for the on-going programs on the site would be the responsibility of the groups using the location. CONCURRENCES: Each of the committee members went back to their respective groups to inform them of the group discussions and agreements. Copies of the design concept were circulated to many members of these groups. As of this date those persons who have contacted their respective representatives have given their approval of the concept. The Small Bore Association was informed that the proposed concept no longer includes the use of their building except as a support for the proposed patio cover. 01111hIIIII11111IU city of san Luis osIspo sis COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Homeless Services Center Page 3 FISCAL IMPACT: Construction estimates provided by Mr. Crotser are based on a "normal" project (Attachment 5). The project total is $108,244.30. Based on the factors listed in Mr. Crotser's estimate, actual costs are estimated closer to $105,000. In evaluating funding for construction, City staff will be recommending that $50,000 be allocated from the City's CDBG funds for 1995-96. The representatives from the Chamber of Commerce and BIA reaffirmed their commitment for materials-and labor up to $30,000 for the project. The remaining $25,000 is being requested from the 1995-96 Special Urban Projects CDBG Fund (which is administered by the County). Since the deadline for application was Jan. 31, 1995 and in anticipation of the Council's strong desire for completion of this project, staff has submitted the application (the Council will formally act on the City's CDBG Program on February 28, 1995). Therefore, the proposed funding sources for this project are: 1995-96 City of San Luis Obispo CDBG funds $50,000 1995-96 County of San Luis Obispo CDBG funds $25,000 Chamber of Commerce/BIA (materials & labor) $30,000 As stated above, the primary responsibility for on-going operations will be the responsibility of the groups which use the site. In our discussions we did agree that the City would be able to empty trash containers with existing staffing. Other considerations which need to be resolved and may have a fiscal impact include addressing security concerns at the Corporation Yard, transportation issues, and on-site security. Recommendations relative to these needs will be forwarded to Council, if necessary, when solutions are better defined. CONCLUSION: The efforts of the working committee have resulted in a unique opportunity to develop abetter and, hopefully, more effective and efficient approach to providing necessary services for the homeless.in our community. The collaboration of volunteer organizations, the business community, and governmental entities provides a model for community cooperation and problem solving. While the challenging task of making this plan become a reality still remains ahead, the foundation of cooperation established in the planning effort is.a strong indicator that it can be done. city of san ups osispo -- - -- Sim COUNCIL A93EIMMA REPORT COUNCIL AGENDA.REPORT Homeless Services Center Page 4 ATTACHMENTS: 1.

As we discussed, the City is requesting $25,000 from the 1995/96 Special Urban Projects Fund to assist in the development of a homeless services center on City property. The balance of the funding needed to develop the site (estimated to be approximately $80,000) would come from the City and contributions from the business community. People's Kitchen, the Interfaith Coalition, the EOC and a variety of other non-profit organizations would then take responsibility for the ongoing operation of the site. This is described in greater detail in the application. Please call me at 781-7151 if you have questions regarding the application. Sincerely, Deb Hossli Administration I t l The City o1 San Luis Obispo is committed to including the disabled in all of its services,programs and activities.

Describe, and if possible, document severity of community development need/s that result in the a need for the proposed project or activity, including possible consequences of not funding the project now. There are currently over 2,000 homeless persons in the county of San Luis Obispo. As federal and. state funding have dwindled, the responsibility and funding of providing homeless services has fallen to the local level . As local governmental resources have been depleted, an increasing number of community based non-profit and volunteer groups have stepped in to fill the gaps. Due to the on-going fragmentation of governmerital services, these non-profit -and volunteer groups have developed with little coordination. While each was formed to meet a specific need or population, there has been both overlap and voids in the services prov,i.ded. Another important difficulty has been the widely scattered locations and different hours in which these services have been provided. This has resulted in both a lack of available services and, in some cases, conflicts with other uses in a particular location. As there appears to be oven more pressure on available government funds to support these services, it is even more imperative that consolidations and collaborations of necessary services be made. . Failure to do so will continue the fragmentation of services and exacerbate the problems of both the homeless and our communities. 1995 CDBG Application Organization: 10. Description of proposed project or activity, including schedule of milestones and description of how project will benefit the target population: The proposed site will allow current on-going services like the People's Kitchen and EOC homeless services to work together with their mutual clientele. Joining them on the site, as a consolidated program is developed, will be outreach workers from the Department of Mental Health and the Salvation Army. After a site administrator is selected, programs for day care, job placement, and some tutorial programs will be developed. It is anticipated that the program will serve between 100 to 150 people on an average daily basis. The clients will be able to receive a noon meal , use available showers, and launder clothing in a washer and dryer. It is anticipated that the site will be available from 9:00 a.m. to 4:OO p.m. on a daily basis the year round. Hours of operation may change depending upon need. The site would not provide overnight housing. 11 . Since the City of ,San Luis Obispo has provided the only on-going shelter program, it is anticipated. that the majority of persons served will be in close proximity to the city. Since, however, some persons come from other parts of the county for the People's Kitchen services and the location of the county Department of Social Services building is very close to the proposed center site, we would anticipate that .some of the clients would come from other cities and county areas. Virtually all of the persons served are in the low and very low income categories. Specific numbers would be based on the eventual number of programs established on the site. -6- 1995 CDBG Application Organization: 11. Persons the proposed activity is targeted to serve: (See previous page for response) (If the project serves persons in an geographic area, instead of on a limited-clientele basis, please attach a map of the area of benefit and list the census block groups) a. Total number of families (or persons) to benefit: b. How many of them are low-income: C. How many of them are very low-income? 12. Description of groupls proposed to implement project or activity: (Single or multiple groups, with roles; public, non-profit or for-profit; experience; etc.) Development and construction of the site will be done under the auspices of the City of San Luis Obispo. Once the site is completed, the noontime feeding program will be conducted by the People's Kitchen. Development and funding of a site administrator and coverage of on-going operating costs will be provided by the Inter-faith Coalition for the Homeless. Volunteer groups and other community agencies who would offer day care, training and other services will include groups such as the Salvation Army, Mental Health and Nipomo Community Center.

Review of Sites Jim Gardiner welcomed the group and explained that the purpose of today's meeting was to develop a listing of all known sites that could potentially house the Peoples's Kitchen Program. In order to develop the listing, the,group re-evaluated all the previously considered sites (to determine if any circumstances had changed) and identified any new sites that may be available. The group reviewed a total of thirteen sites and found that five of the previously reviewed sites were still considered to be unsuitable and therefore no longer "in the running"; and eight of the sites were considered to be viable and therefore should be evaluated further: Previously Considered Sites - Still Considered Unsuitable ■ 1333 Johnson Avenue - Several years ago the People's Shelter attempted to purchase this property to house their program. Neighborhood opposition ultimately prevented the purchase from taking place. In re-evaluating the site, the group agreed that the site is now too small to accommodate the People's Kitchen Program, and as such, should be removed from further consideration. . ■ Old City/County Library - When the People's Kitchen originally requested to use the Old City/County Library, the City was using the site to house the Little Rec'rs program. Compatibility issues between the two programs precluded the City from allowing joint use of the site. Re-evaluation of the site revealed that the City is now ranting the site to the Little Theater for their City Playhouse making the.site unavailable to the People's Kitchen for the near term. In addition, compatibility issues also make this site less advantageous. As such, the group agreed that this site should not be considered further at this time. Page 2 Meeting Minutes ■ Lawn area between City Hall and the Old City/County Library - Re- evaluation of this site revealed that it is too small to accommodate the People's Kitchen Program and as such should be removed from further consideration. ■ Morro/Palm City Employee Parking Garage - The group agreed that this site was not large enough to accommodate the People's Kitchen Program. As such, the group agreed that this site should be removed from further consideration. ■ New Library - The group agreed that the current City/County Library was an inappropriate site for the People's Kitchen Program, and as such, should be removed from further consideration. Sites That Should Be Considered Further ■ 284 South Higuera (previously considered) - The group agreed that this parcel is a viable site for housing the People's Kitchen Program and should be further evaluated by the group. ■ Homeless Shelter (previously considered) - The group agreed that the current homeless shelter is a viable site for housing the People's Kitchen Program and should be further explored by the group with the EOC. ■ Prado Road (previously considered) - The group agreed that while lack of available transportation is still a significant issue with this location, the advantages of this site (e.g., the ability to provide additional services) make it worthy of further consideration by the group. ■ Old San Luis Gas Plant (new site) - This site was suggested by Dick Warren. The group agreed that the site should be evaluated by the group. ■ Old Fre Station Number 1 (new site) - This site was suggested by Dick Warren. The group agreed that the site should be evaluated by the group. ■ 140 South Street (corner of Parker Street- new site) - This site was suggested by Dick Warren. The group agreed that the.site should be evaluated by the group- 0 1320 Archer Street (new site) - This site was suggested by Dick Warren. The group agreed that the site should be evaluated by the group. ■ 311 Pacific Street (need to confirm address - new site) - This site was suggested by Dick Warren. The group agreed that the site should be evaluated by the group. Page 3 Meeting Minutes At the conclusion of the review, the group agreed that all sites identified as potentially viable would be further evaluated (beginning at the next meeting) and prioritized for future consideration by the People's Kitchen Board of Directors and City Council. 11. Client Survey Jim Gardiner then queried the group as to whether they felt a survey of the People's Kitchen's clients would provide useful information to assist with their site selection efforts (e.g., collecting basic profile data on the clients such as gender, age, or where they come from each day, and information on desired services). He explained that Mike Multari (a professional planning consultant and a member of the City's Human Relations Commission) was willing to assist in the refinement of the survey to insure its statistical credibility. He also explained that the City's Human Relations Commission may be a logical group to assist with carrying out the survey (assuming the Commission is willing). The group agreed that the survey was a good idea. Jim Gardiner agreed to develop a draft of the survey for the group's review. The group agreed to include Gwen Guyre, the Homeless Shelter Director, in future meetings. The group agreed to set their next meeting for July 11, 1994 at 3:30 pm in the Police Conference Room. 02'� Meeting Minutes People's Kitchen Site Selection Review Committee July 11, 1994-2 P.M.

Review of Survey Jim Gardiner reviewed with the group a draft survey that has been developed to gather basic information on People's Kitchen clients (e.g., gender, age, transportation needs, etc.). After a thorough discussion, the group: modified the survey to accommodate committee members concerns (final draft version attached); agreed that the survey should be carried out over the last week of July; and concurred with the suggestion that Human Relations Commission (HRC) be asked to assist in carrying out the survey. Jim Gardiner advised the group that he intended to review the survey and the approach to conducting it with Mike Multari (a member of the City's HRC and professional planning consultant) to make sure the questions are properly worded and the approach is statistically valid. He also agreed to contact the chair of the HRC (Randy Baudendistel) to determine if they are interested in assisting with the survey. 111. Review of Sites The group agreed to convene at 2:00 pm at 311 Pacific Street on August 8, 1994 to begin evaluating the potential People's Kitchen sites identified at the last meeting. These sites include: ■ 284 South Higuera ■ Homeless Shelter (750 Orcutt Road) ■ Prado Road (next to City's Corporation Yard) ■ Old San Luis Gas Plant ■ Old Fire Station Number 1 (comer of the Pismo and Garden Street) ■ 140 South Street (corner of Parker Street) ■ 1320 Archer Street ■ 311 Pacific Street The meeting adjourned at 5:10 pm.

Site Evaluation The group convened at 2:00 pin on August 8, 1994 to tour three sites that have been identified as potential sites for housing the People's Kitchen program. After completing the tour, the group concluded the following: ■ 311 Pacific Street Site This site was previously used to house the Model Linen operation. It is 8,000 square feet in size, in extremely poor condition and available for rental at $3,000 per month. After discussing the site, the group concluded that it should be removed from further consideration. Rental costs for the facility, coupled with the extensive repairs that would be needed to make the facility useable, were the primary reasons the group reached this conclusion. ■ 1320 Archer Street Site (directly adjacent to the Model Linen Site) This site was originally a residential unit that Inas since been converted into office space. It is approximately 1,000 square feet in size and has a large patio area in the backyard. The site is currently for sale at a price of$169,000. The group felt that this site has potential and should be considered further. The backyard appeared large enough to house the feeding program. The interior, while not ideal, could also accommodate limited services from the Interfaith Coalition (e.g. office and counseling space). The downsides to the site, however, include: limited parking, the lack of space to accommodate program expansion on the site, and cost. ��i����►�►�Illnlilllfllllll�l�l��I��iiiii�►ill city O sAn tuis oaspo 990 Palm Street/Post Office Box 8100 .

The survey yielded the following results: ■ 65 individuals were surveyed (we estimate that this was approximately 95% of the total as some declined to participate in the survey and some were likely missed). The People's Kitchen representative indicated that this was a smaller crowd than usual for the last Friday of the month. We speculated that the Mozart Festival activities taking place in Mission Plaza may have detoured some from using the Program that day. ■ Question #1 - Gender Male: 51 (78%) Female: 14 (22%) ■ Question #2 - Age 12 or Younger. 1 (1.5%) 13-18: 0 (0%) 19-54: 54 (83%) 55 or older: 10 (15.5%) ■ Question #3 - People's Kitchen Usage 3 or more times per week: 45 (69%) 1 to 2 times per week: 10 (15.5%) Less than once per week: 10 (15.5%) © The City of San Luis Obispo is committed to including the disabled in all of its services,programs and activities.

Proposed Site Plan Review Jim Gardiner reviewed with the group the preliminary site plans for a Homeless Services Center on the City's Prado Road Property. As proposed, the plans provide a serving area with cover, a restroom and shower area, office space area (for counseling, childcare, etc), and parking. Jim Gardiner explained that it would be possible to phase improvement of the site. The group then commented on the plans. Issues were raised over staffing of the Center, security for the site, transportation to the site, and funding to construct the site. In addition, Dick Warren indicated that he felt the Interfaith Coalition would oppose any attempt to phase construction of the site. The group then discussed the potential funding sources to develop the site. Jim Gardiner indicated that the business community still intends to contribute toward construction of the site (e.g., material to construct the cover serving area and seating, etc.). He further indicated that Community Development Block Grant funding may also be available. He agreed to investigate this potential and report back at the group's next meeting. Jim Gardiner then explained that the next phase of this process will be to secure cost estimates for the proposed site plan design. He agreed to call another meeting of the group once these estimates were available. The meeting adjourned.

L,r.•.ar 7,•.mm t•4............ .l1 G.IPI Jim, Finally !!! Here's the preliminary estimate of costs for the Pte,Mr.AMF proposed Prado Road "Peoples Kitchen" facility. I estimated costs as if this were a "normal" project. I realize that some of these costs such as the plancheck fees may be waived, and other material and labor expenses may be donated, however, this should give you a reasonable target based on the best information at this point in time. Thanks for your patience! If you have any questions, give me a call.
