Home My WebLink About07/06/1999, CLR-1 - CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE CALIFORNIA MEN'S COLONY Dawn jwpoRt June 24, 199-9- TO: Council Colleagues FROM: Dave Romero-�e SUBJECT: Citizen's Advisory Committee to the California Men's Colony At its meeting of June 23, 1999, the committee received a report from the_Warden that the CMC expects to receive an additional 450 inmates within the next few months,bringing the total population to approximately 7,000. The added inmates are brought in due to a shortage of prison facilities throughout the state,causing overcrowding of existing facilities. The increase in inmates will require approximately 85 additional staff which, in tum,will cause further demands for housing, create additional traffic, and heavier demands on city facilities. Although most inmate families do not reside in San Luis Obispo,there will be additional family visits, creating an extra load on the bus system and traffic. On the plus side,there will be a substantial benefit to the local economy. DR:ss /inmates CLR-1 timson REpoRt June 24, 199.E TO: Council Colleagues FROM: Dave Romero SUBJECT: Zone 9 The Zone 9 Advisory Committee is meeting monthly in an attempt to fine-tune the work program for the study of the San Luis Obispo Creek watershed which has been requested by the Corps of Engineers. The study will include review of riparian and aquatic habitat,water quality, waterways management, flood protection, and will respond to a federal mandate for storm drainage planning. Eventually, the report is intended to present information for City Council determination as to the level and manner of flood protection which the City may wish to provide for itselly in addition to recommending a financing mechanism. This will be an update and replacement of the pink book adopted in 1983. Cost is estimated in excess of$600,000 which will virtually deplete all fimds in the Zone 9 account. The City will be the primary contracting agency,with contracts expected to come to the Council in September.

At certain locations in extremely steep terrain or in subdivisions creating very large lots, the City has not required installation of sidewalks, sometimes by specific exemption for the entire development, and sometimes by approval of plans and specifications which did not require sidewalks. It had been my practice as Public Works director to assume a City Council exemption to initial sidewalk improvements represented a final decision, and I did not bring the question of sidewalk installation back to Council for reaffirmation when a building permit for a residence was issued. Since there is no formal city policy to verify my practice, current staff has indicated that they are not comfortable with this practice and are, therefore, planning to bring individual exemptions back to Council for determination. In my view,this will result in a delay and hardship for individual property owners as they propose to develop their property. Therefore, I suggest that Council direct staff to prepare a policy which the Council can adopt regarding sidewalk exemptions in instances where initial subdivisions agreement does not require them to be installed.

Approximately 150 parking spaces have been removed near the PAC to provide for construction operations. Many of these will be reinstalled upon completion of the project. The Commission made a determination that minor capital projects, such as additional handicapped seating, a modification to the drinking fountain to make it accessible to the handicapped, a modification to the ticket sales area for handicapped access and construction of safety doors near the movable stage, should appropriately be paid out of the$15,000 remaining in the Heritage Bank loan account. The Commission received a report that the preliminary field review for the acoustic cloud study would be made in October. The Commission adopted a policy regarding accommodations for the hearing impaired. This may impose a significant cost on the groups performing, however, it appears to be necessary to meet handicapped accessibility requirements. DR:ss /liaison-PAC •
