1. Council considered dividing the Wastewater Treatment Plant into two
phases: Phase 1 to upgrade and correct plant deficiencies, and Phase 2 for
advanced secondary treatment.
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, explained that the Water Quality Control
Board staff had become increasingly concerned with the ever increasing instances
of bypass of raw or partially treated sewage to San Luis Obispo Creek during storms
and was becoming more insistent that steps be taken to correct this bypass. He.
therefore recommended that it would be desirable to construct the treatment plant
improvement project in two phases. The first phase would upgrade and correct
current plant deficiencies.and eliminate bypass to the creek. The second phase
would deal with advanced secondary treatment which may or may not be approved by
EPA. The split phase in the project would permit the most critical work to the
plant to proceed at an early date, possibly before winter. The first phase would
cost $2.8 million compared to a construction cost estimate for the entire project -
of $6.7 million.
On the motion of Councilman Munger, seconded by Councilman Dunin, to authorize
staff to proceed with the application for split phasing the project. Motion
carried, all ayes, Councilwoman Billig absent.
2. Amendment to Consulting Services Agreement with Richard B. Taylor.
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, explained that Mr. Taylor, the architect
for the Mission Plaza Extension, requested amendment of the agreement for
consulting services for preparation of working drawings and specifications
for Mission Plaza extension to allow progress payments. The existing agreement
required completion and approval of all work before payment. He agreed this
was customary of most city contracts and therefore recommended approval of the
amendment.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Munger, the following
resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 4170 (1980 Series), a resolution
of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo adopting amendment no. 1 to
consulting services agreement for preparation of working drawings and specifi-
cations for Mission Plaza extension.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:

3. Rental Housing Mediation Board
Geoff Grote, Legal Assistant, submitted a report to the Council on the history
and possible questions for Council to consider regarding a Rental Housing
Mediation Board.
Jackie Megow, Human Relations Commission Associate, submitted report dated
May 30, 1980 from the Human Relations Commission opposing the proposed ordinance
to establish a Rental Housing Mediation Board. They listed seven major concerns
and recommended that before the City Council established a mediation board, that
data first be collected to show appropriate rationale for such. Collection of
data would provide a statistical data build -up to see the frequency with which
people would be willing to get involved with a formal mediation process and
board. The HRC would be willing to conduct a simple survey of its grievance
calls for a six month period and report back to the City Council its findings
and to make further recommendation of the necessity of the RHMB.
Councilman Dunin stated he could not support

Councilman Bond agreed with Councilman Dunin's remarks and stated he could
not support the establishment of a RHMB as he felt HRC was doing a fine job
and he did not feel another advisory board was needed.
Councilman Munger also felt the HRC was doing and adequate job and he.could
support the HRC's recommendation to conduct a survey for six months and report
back to the Council with their findings.
On motion of Councilman Dunin, seconded by Councilman Bond, to accept the
recommendation of the Human Relations Commission to conduct a survey for six
months, reporting back to the Council at the end of this time and further to
attempt to fill vacancies with people with expertise in mediation and grievances.
Motion carried, all ayes, Councilwoman Billig absent.

for Tract 609, "Mission Lane ", had.been installed and all departments had agreed

14 Explorer Scouts to Fort Collins, Colorado.to represent San Luis Obispo County
in the 1980 National Explorer Olympics. This is expected to cost approximately
$7,000.00 for air fares, board, etc. He stated the group had raised much of
this money themselves with fund raisers, etc. but hoped the Council could help
' by contributing some financial help.
Kathy Kahn spoke in support of the City contributing towards sending them to
Colorado. She was one of the team going and explained some of the girls' events.-
Donald Kahn, Jr., a team member and President of the Explorer Scouts, also urged

7. Mass Transportation Committee Minutes of May 14, 1980
D.F. Romero, Public Services Director, submitted the minutes from the Mass
Transportation Committee Meeting of May. 14, 1980 and explained the MTC had
recommended five modifications to the fares, service and advertising policy _.:.
in order to reduce the operating cost.of the system. He stated. it was his
opinion that the operating.subsidy was becoming excessive and eventually would
threaten all of the gasoline sales.tax funds and require huge expenditures from
the general fund and was therefore not in agreement with the recommendations of
the MTC. He recommended Council approve recommendations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7b
and 8 as stated below noting that even if all of these recommendations were put
into effect, the subsidy per passenger would still exceed, by more than twice,
the actual fare charged:
1) Increase fare to 50o, and daily-pass to $1.00 (43% increase).
Sylvia Drucker, representing the Planning Commission and a member on the MTC,
stated she opposed the fare increase. She explained that the Planning Commission
had been studying the Circulation Element and as a part of it the "Goals State-
ment". The goals statement urged the City to encourage reduced use of the auto-
mobile and urged heavier use of the bus system as the bus system was more energy
efficient. It was the Planning Commission's desire to promote the bus system and
encourage increased.ridership. .She therefore was opposed to any.fare increase.
2)
Increase senior pass and.mid -day pass to $3.50 /mo. (40% increase)
3)
Increase monthly pass to $18.00 /mo. (44% increase)
4)
Eliminate 20% discount on volume purchase of tokens.
5)
Eliminate buss service on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
6)
Eliminate Route 1 service on Saturdays (same as current Sunday operation).
(This would provide 1 hour service to all areas of the city.)
7a)
Eliminate Sunday bus service (we now serve approximately 200 riders, of
7b)
whom approximately 100 pay a separate fare on Sundays).
Reduce Sunday service to one bus. (One bus would alternate between routes
2 and 3, thus providing 2 hour service to all areas of the city.)
8)
Allow advertising on inside of bus.
Sylvia Drucker, representing the Planning Commission and a member on the MTC,
stated she opposed the fare increase. She explained that the Planning Commission
had been studying the Circulation Element and as a part of it the "Goals State-
ment". The goals statement urged the City to encourage reduced use of the auto-
mobile and urged heavier use of the bus system as the bus system was more energy
efficient. It was the Planning Commission's desire to promote the bus system and
encourage increased.ridership. .She therefore was opposed to any.fare increase.
City Council Minutes
June 3, 1980 - 4:00 p.m.
Page 4
Helen Karloeich strongly opposed the fare increase. She stated she felt it
was highly unfair, that the City could not - expect increased ridership but
rather lose current riders if this change were effected. She felt the City
should concentrate on promoting the bus system which she felt was not being
done.
Mayor Cooper stated he favored the increase as it was the automobile driver
with the gasoline taxes who were subsidizing the bus system and with inflation
that bus system now cost the City $223,000.00 per year which represents an
operating deficit from $63,000 in 1974/75 to $223,000 in 1979.
It was explained that the total operating cost was paid approximately 1/2
from gasoline taxes, 1/4 from the fare box and 1/4 out of the City.'s general
fund.
Councilman Bond felt the City's bus system was a good system and could not
support a fare increase. He did feel the system catered too much towards
students and would like to see bus schedules arranged to encourage the work
segment of the population to use it. As it'is now, workers are forced to be
20 minutes early or 20 minutes late to work.
Councilman Munger stated he could support the fare increase. He felt the cost
factor had increased dramatically and needed to be offset. He was concerned
with the mid -day pass and seniors pass and would support leaving them at their
present rate.
Councilman Dunin stated he could not support the rate increase. He would like
to see the Mass Transportation Committee and Promotional Coordinating Committee
work together in an effort for heavier promotion of the bus system. He felt
that with increased ridership this would help the fares and decrease use of the
automobile.
Sylvia Drucker stated other reasons the Planning Commission could not support
the fare increase were: 1) anyone paying 50(, to come into town would probably
be paying 50o for a return trip; therefore the fare was being raised to $1.00;
2) felt the City should promote day users,. such .as. -housewives:for.increased
ridership; & 3) reduced automibles would result in reduced road maintenance
and ultimately fewer street widenings.
Helen Karloeich again urged.the Council not to raise the fares. She suggested
that the Coastal School District get together with the City and set up schedules
that would help the students and work users.
On motion of Councilman Bond, seconded by Councilman Dunin, that'Item 1, fare
increase remain the same.
Motion lost on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Bond and Dunin
NOES: Councilman Munger and Mayor Cooper
ABSENT: Councilwoman Billig
NOTE: A tie vote on this issue means.the fares would remain at 355.

pass and mid -day pass remain the same.
Motion lost on the following roll'call vote:

property owners have expressed a desire to share this cost with the City in
order to have the entire sidewalk in front of their building replaced with
Mission Style sidewalk. This is much more expensive than the proposed salt
finish without the tile but the same color.
Mayor Cooper suggested this item be deferred until a program could be established

colored salt finish without paver (tile). Motion carried, all ayes, Councilwoman
