COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER: /
FROM: William C. Statler, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: BUDGET STUDY SESSION
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Continue to review and discuss the Draft Capital Improvement Plan and other issues
related to the Preliminary 1991-93 Financial Plan
DISCUSSION
At the April 29, 1991 Budget Study Session, the Council was provided with an overview of
the:
I
■ Financial outlook for 1991-93
■ Budget review process
■ Recommended major city goals
■ Proposed situation oriented response team (SORT) in the Police Department
■ Draft capital improvement plan (CIP)
The briefing on the Draft CIP concluded with the Public Safety and Public Utilities sections.
As such, it is anticipated that the May 13, 1991 Budget Study Session will continue with the
remaining sections of the Draft CIP (Transportation, Leisure, Cultural & Social Services,
and General Government).
Since the Draft CIP was distributed to Council, one additional project has been proposed
for Council consideration: installation of video security cameras at the Marsh Street
Parking Structure. At an estimated cost of $25,000, this project is proposed for 1992-93.
The CIP request for this project is provided in Attachment A.
Prelimmmy Fumncud Plan Davibutwn
In addition to concluding the Council's review of the Draft CIP, it is anticipated that the
Preliminary 1991-93 Financial Plan will be distributed to the Council by May 13, 1991.
Although an orientation to the document's organization will be made at the meeting as well
as an overview of key financial plan highlights, no staff presentations or Council discussion
of the specific contents of the Preliminary Financial Plan is anticipated at the May 13, 1991
Budget Study Session; that is the purpose of the public hearing currently scheduled
for June 11, 1991. However, distribution of the Preliminary Financial Plan by May 13, 1991
will enable the Council and public to have an adequate period of time to review the
contents of the document prior to public hearings on this matter.
Adoption of the Financial Plan has been tentatively scheduled for June 18, 1991; however,
June 25, 1991 has been previously set aside if required for final budget adoption.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Budget Study Session Follow-up
During the Budget Study Session of April 29, 1991, the Council requested information
regarding the following six items:
Comparative Sales Tax Projections
Information regarding projected increases in local, regional, or state-wide sales tax revenues
in comparison to projections for San Luis Obispo was requested. Staff is currently
preparing this information, and a brief presentation is planned for the May 13, 1991 Budget
Study Session in response to this request.
Budget Reference Documents
The Draft Capital Improvement Plan (as well as the Preliminary Financial Plan) references
a number of policy documents. Staff was requested to ensure that these documents are
available for review in the Council offices. This has been done.
CIP Project Contacts
A request was made to provide the names of specific staff members relative to any
questions on the details of CIP projects. A listing of responsible Department Heads and
key contact staff members is currently being prepared and will be distributed to Council
members under separate cover.
Police Station Heating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Improvements
A request was made that staff investigate the potential for securing evidence and other
items in areas of the Police Station where windows are not available, and then relocating
staff to areas with windows. The feasibility of converting existing fixed windows to windows
which can be opened should also be considered as a part of this analysis. The Police Chief
will be prepared to brief the Council members on this issue at the May 13, 1991 Budget
Study Session.
Salinas Reservoir Water Rights
The Council asked for a report on the status of the water rights issue and Salinas Reservoir.
The Utilities Director is preparing a report to be distributed to Council under separate
cover.
Child Care Policies
The Council directed staff to work with the Personnel Board to develop formal policies
related to child care. A communication item and proposed set of policies was provided by
Councilwoman Rappa as a part of the agenda packet. The Personnel Director is following-
up on this request as an issue separate from the budget process.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
ANWinmg Policy Issues
Revenue highlights, key policy issues, major City goals, and significant expenditure and
staffing changes will be comprehensively addressed in the appropriate sections of the
Preliminary Financial Plan. However, three issues should be highlighted for the Council's
consideration, although no action is recommended at this time:
BIA Funding
During 1990-91, the General Fund transferred $45,000 to the BIA Fund in order to fund
operations not covered through the BIA's own revenue sources. For 1991-93, no General
Fund subsidies are recommended. Based on projected revenues and a proposal to transfer
downtown sidewalk cleaning to the General Fund, the BIA should be able to fund current
operations from their own revenue sources. In the event that the BIA believes that
augmented funding above the level supported by their own revenues is required, staff and
the BIA have agreed that they will separately identify and submit for Council consideration j
specific programs or projects which they believe that the General Fund should support.
Cultural Activity Grants and Promotional Contracts
At this time, the Preliminary Financial Plan reflects "status quo" funding for cultural activity
grants and promotional contracts. The Promotional Coordinating Committee (PCC) is
currently reviewing proposals, and at this time, it is anticipated that their recommendations
will be submitted for Council consideration at the regular Council meeting scheduled for
June 4, 1991. Accordingly, the final staff recommendation for funding these activities will
be made at that time.
T.O.T. Revenue Allocation Policy
The proposed revenue distribution policy for Transient Occupancy Taxes (T.O.T.) is
currently based on the draft policy submitted for Council consideration at the March 18,
1991 Budget Study Session. Under the proposed policy, 20% of T.O.T. revenues would be
allocated for cultural activities,community promotion,and economic development purposes.
This policy recommendation was subsequently reviewed and discussed by the PCC on April
15, 1991. It was the consensus of the PCC at this meeting that a specific allocation of the
T.O.T. should be made for community promotion purposes only. The PCC was uncertain
as to what would constitute "economic development" activities, and they recommended that
community promotion be funded with a specific portion of T.O.T. revenues in order to
ensure stability and continuity of the City's support for its tourist industry.
The Council may wish to consider two alternative policies:
■ Discontinue any earmarking of T.O.T. revenues
The City's revenue distribution policies recognize that the practice of
earmarking of General Fund revenues for specific programs should be
minimized in the administration and management of our financial affairs.
Discontinuing the earmarking of T.O.T. revenues would be consistent with this
policy statement.
/-3
mN�►�►i��IIIIIII�II��������ll city of San 1111S OBISPO
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
■ Allocate 10% of T.O.T. revenues directly to community promotion
With this approach, a specific distribution of T.O.T. revenues would be made
for tourist promotion. For 1991-93, a 10% distribution would result in an
allocation of $458,000 over two years based on current T.O.T. revenue
projections. The Preliminary 1991-93 Financial Plan currently provides$437,000
over the next two years for community promotion. This alternative would
continue the traditional practice of allocating a portion of T.O.T. revenues for
community promotion purposes. Although the PCC would undoubtedly prefer
a higher percentage, this alternative would clearly establish a specific
distribution of T.O.T. revenues for community promotion purposes which is
equal to or greater than past budget allocations.
SUMMARY
In preparation for the Council's review of the Preliminary 1991-93 Financial Plan on June
11, 1991, it is recommended that the Council:
■ Continue to review and discuss the Draft Capital Improvement Plan
■ Receive the Preliminary 1991-93 Financial Plan
■ Consider remaining policy issues regarding BIA funding, cultural activity grants,
promotional contracts, and T.O.T. revenue distributions
■ Receive follow-up information from the April 29, 1991 Budget Study Session
As discussed above, no formal Council action on any of these items is recommended at this
time.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
PROGRAM: Parking
REQUEST TITLE: Parking Garage Video Surveillance Systems
Project Description
Install video surveillance systems in the Marsh Street parking garage at a cost of $2.5,000 in 1992/93.
Project Objectives
■ Reduce vandalism
■ Protect parking patrons
Existing Situation
Since its opening in November 1990, the Marsh Street garage has been plagued with continual vandalism of the
building and harassment of the garage patrons. To a lesser degree the Palm Street garage has suffered similar
problems since its opening. The city has hired security guards to successfully control these problems on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights. This additional security costs $20,000 each year.
Goal and Policy Links
■ Adopted parking program goal• adequate, s- afe and attractive parking for visitors, customers and employees in the
downtown
Project Work Completed
The parking staff has discussed these security problems with other cities and learned that video surveillance seems
to be a cost-effective solution. The staff has also discussed preliminary designs and cost estimates with dealers.

Public Art Policy
This project should be exempt from public art requirements because it is essentially an equipment procurement.
Alternatives
■ Defer the project. Delaying the equipment installation would subject the building to continued vandalism and
the public to continued harassment.
■ Hire additional security guards. This option might solve the problem but it would cost $25,000435,000 annually
for full security six nights a week.
Parking Garage Video Surveillance Systems (continued)
Project Effect on the Operating Budget
This project would reduce the cost of repairing property damage and might prevent costly liability if parking patrons
were injured. Also, the cost of contract security services could be reduced by $12,000 each year.

Increased -bikeways funding is:.-needed for the following reasons-:
- Council priority for 89-91 -was 6th.. for Priority system and---4th
by tick system . Yet none of the -funding has been spent .. A
citizens committee and bike coordinator will insure the bikeways
are implemented..
- The citizens are clearly Ln .favor of -safe bikeways. cr$_
--Safe Bi.keways are the primary way to increase ridership and :- a
create a .modal- shift to - the zero emission vehicle . This will. help f
us.-clean up-zour air.
- Removing-parki.ng is not desired- This means perhaps more costl
options will. be needed.. u
- Bikeways are the least cost method of planning for people
getting to- their destination.
The Alternative Transportation Task Force recommends the 3
followi.ng `i
- $400 ,000 per year for upcoming- budget cycle 1992-94.
- Citizens bike committee and full time bike coordinator be
funded . City staff has not continuously involved the bike
community and needs input from those who will be using the
bikeways.
- 24 hour bike lanes . Allowing parking at night when lanes are
needed most is dangerous.
- Wider bike lanes on heavily traveled roads .
- Bike lanes throughout downtown and linking with all major bike
lanes accessing the city.
- A bikeway along the Railroad from Cal Poly south to the city
limit .
- Refer to the attached documents , the ad-hoc committee
established by Dave Pierce and the projects recommended in 1989
budget hearings for other projects with popular support that would
justify the bikeway expenditures .

RE: Transportation Items of the Capital Improvements Budget
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Once again I am addressing you on behalf of the Alternative
Task Force of the Sierra Club (ATTF) . Will you permittwo
members of the ATTF to address the council regarding the
transportation items of the Capital Improvements Budget on Monday
June 19, 1989? We will arrange a mutually convenient time for
our presentation in advance. I will contact John Dunn, City
Administrator prior to the hearing.
The two presentations will be limited to five minutes each.
One will address mass transit alternatives and the other will
address bikeway improvements.
The purpose of the presentations will be twofold. First, to
summarize and organize what has already been presented on these
issues. Second, to present detailed proposals to the council
with project objectives, cost estimates, and time frames.
Enclosed with this letter is a proposal for bikeway
improvements for the next four fiscal years based on an
allocation of $400,000 per year.
Very truly yours,
Edwin J. Rambuski

Project Title - Bikeway Improvements Project Manager - David Pierce
Project Description - Create a continuous network of bike routes
throughout the city that encourage city residents to use bicycles as
an alternative to the automobile.
Project Objectives - Provide facilities, opportunities and incentives
for people to use bicycles as an alternative to the automobile.
Reduce traffic congestion, automobile emissions, and parking problems.
A. Create a continuous network of bikeways to serve all
neighborhoods and business districts so that the convenience
of bicycles competes with the convenience of the automobile.
1. Require sponsors of all annexations proposals, specific
plans, subdivisions or development projects to provide
sufficient right-of-way and construct bike paths.
2 . Where traffic levels exceed 10, 000 ADT along designated
bike routes, reserve at least 8 feet of space at the edge
of the roadway for a bike path. If necessary, remove
curb-side parking along these streets to create these
bike paths.
3 . In peripheral city expansion areas (Orcutt, Dalidio,
Irish Hills, Airport Areas) , establish a network of bike
paths that are separated from roadways, using open space,
utility, or flood control (creek) easements.
4. Use the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way as a
continuous bike route linking city neighborhoods with Cal
Poly University (Cal Poly to Tank Farm road) .
5. Construct a Class I bikeway from downtown along the
Highway 101 right-of-way to Laguna Lake and onto Foothill
Boulevard.
6. Draw upon the substantial experience, expertise and data
on design construction, and implementation available from
the cities of Davis, CA, Boulder, CO, and Madison, WI.
7. Require employers with more than 10 employees to provide
bike lockers or other forms of enclosed bicycle parking
at the work site.
S. Require employers with more than 25 employees to install
showers, lockers and dressing areas at the work site.
9. Provide bike racks on the backs of city busses and
regional transit vehicles.
10.Provide bicycle parking in preferential locations in
commercial centers and in the downtown civic center.
B. Provide incentives for people of all ages to use bicycles as a
regular form of transportation and for area employers to
encourage the work force to use bicycles.
1. Ask Cal Poly University to incrementally reduce
registration fees for students who can document that they
do not own or operate a car and who secure a bicycle
license from the city.
2. As a demonstration program, allow city government
employees who ride a bike to work to arrive 15 minutes
later and leave 15 minutes earlier than normal. If
successful, ask county and state agencies to do the same.
3. As an experimental program, allow senior high school
students who ride a bike to school to leave school 30
minutes before those that drive cars.
4. Reduce the annual business license fees for employers who
provide on-site enclosed bicycle storage and can document
that at least 25% of their work force uses bicycles as a
regular form of commute transportation.
5. Create a community bicycle repair facility at the city
corporation yard and jointly sponsor repair clinics with
area cycling clubs and the recreation department.
C. Establish an ongoing program for funding the construction and
installation of bicycle facilities throughout the community.
2. Use revenues generated by APCD air quality mitigation
fees to help support facility costs of bicycle programs.
3. Support proposals to increase county sales tax levels by
at least one half cent to help fund bicycle facilities.
4. Allocate funds in the neighborhood of $50, 000 per year
for education of the public on the safe and convenient
use of bicycles.
our focus the first year should be on providing linkage between
neighborhoods and business districts by completing existing Class II
bikeways which currently are not connected.
The goal of connecting the existing system should be accomplished
together with an aggressive education program. The City should
allocate at least $50, 000 to education the first year.
Possibly with a comprehensive education program linkages between
existing bikeways can be accomplished without too much negative
reaction on the politically sensitive issue of removing on-street
parking. The removal of curb parking should be more than adequately
compensated for by the new City parking garages.
Two major projects which should be addressed the first year are a
north-south route through town (i.e. Chorro or Broad) and a continuous
route to Cal Poly.
What follows are project descriptions with cost estimates where
they are available from City data. Funds should be set aside for City
staff to study the cost and design of the other projects.
1989-90
PROJECT DESCRIPTION COST
1. Palm St, Broad to Grand. Provides link with current unknown
Class II bikeway to Cal Poly. Eliminate curb parking.
Alternative use Mill St.
2. A major artery through downtown. Higuera and/or Marsh. unknown
Eliminate curb parking on one side. Possibly change to
diagonal parking on one side and bike lane on the other
which may "save" some parking. Bulbouts at intersections
3. Johnson Drive from Ella to Orcutt. Change to one lane of minimal
traffic each way (see latest circulation study - two lanes
are not necessary) left turn lanes, two curbside parking
two Class II bike lanes.
4. Johnson Drive, Marsh to Ella. Eliminate curb parking but $50, 000
provide neighborhood parking lot along Pismo north of (parking
Johnson. lot)
5. Study the possibility of widening only the bike lage unknown
along Orcutt from Broad to Johnson thereby, avoiding
land acquisition costs.
6. Study the feasibility of a major north-south artery unknown
along Chorro (or Broad) from Highland to High, including
providing off-street parking lots.
5. Establish a city policy which earmarks a certain portion
of new funding sources (i.e. traffic impact fees from

Ocounty funding) to the integrated bikeways plan.
Existing Situation - Over one-half of the air pollution emitted in the
San Luis Obispo area is generated by motor vehicles. The city has not,
yet adequately achieved the four goals of the 1985 Bicycle Facilities
Plan as stated on page II-26. The city is without a fully integrated
bikeways system which links all neighborhoods and business districts
Goal and Policy Links - Within five years bicycles shall provide 20%
of Average Daily Trips (ADT) . This will permit the City to meet state
air quality standards based on a projection of 725, 000 ADT.
Project Work Completed - none.

Discussion
As mentioned above our five year goal should be 20% ADT by
bicycle. Graph B (see next page) shows that both Davis CA and
Madison, WI have achieved that level. Graph C shows that Davis and
Madison have 8.2 and 5. 3 miles of bikeways (Class I,II and III) per
10, 000 population, respectively. Therefore, our aim should be between
5.5 and 9 miles of bikeways per 10, 000. The City currently has 2.4
miles of bikeways per 10, 000 population as shown in Graph C.
What follows is a draft proposal for implementation of an
integrated bikeways plan for each of the next four fiscal years within
the proposed $400, 000 Annual Capital Improvements Budget.

COALITION FOR COOPERATIVE GOVERNMENT
SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY
PRESS RELEASE - MAY 9,1991
The Coalition for Cooperative Government endorsed a proposed agreement
regarding the implementation of SB 2557 in San Luis Obispo County at a
meeting this morning. The Board of Supervisors will consider the proposal
at their meeting on May 14th. Members of a Task Force composed of
representatives from the Coalition of Cooperative Government of San Luis
Obispo County, and the Board of Supervisors, have agreed to a proposal
regarding implementation of fees provided for in SB 2557. The Task Force
has been meeting since April 4th to provide an alternative to the collection
of jail booking fees and property tax administration fees which were strongly
opposed by cities and school.districts throughout the county. The law was
passed in 1990 to provide counties with a revenue source to offset other
reductions in state funding. Cities and school districts are also experiencing
significant shortfalls and do not think it is fair to pay for services which have
traditionally been provided at no charge by the county. The cost of full
implementation of the booking and property tax administration fees would
be over 3 million dollars in San Luis Obispo county.
Under the proposal, the Board of Supervisors would join with the Cities and
School Districts of the county to affirm their opposition to effects of SB
2557, and to pledge to work together for a more stable and adequate
funding base for local services. The Resolution also calls for continued
cooperation in the future. It is hoped that the Board of Supervisors would
adopt the proposed resolution at their meeting on May 14, 1991, and that
the cities and school districts in the county would adopt similar resolutions.
The proposal also calls for no fees to be charged to cities for booking of
prisoners, or to school districts for the collection of property taxes. for
1990-91. Pending a review of possible new revenues and cost reduction
measures, fees also may not be charged for 1991-92. A final report is due
to the Board of Supervisors by September 30, 1991.
Some of the options for increasing revenue include a joint program by all law
enforcement agencies in the county to collect outstanding warrents; cost
shaming of prog
rams; increase in the transient occupancy tax county wide,
assessment of a utility tax, and joint efforts to increase yields on
investments. The proposal is unique in the state in that it represents a
overnn1ent rather than a more .
cooperative effort from all levels of local g counties in the state as the result
divisive result which has occurred in many
of SB 2557.

RESOLUTION (1991 SERIES) _
ESTABLISHING THE COALITION FOR COOPERATIVE GOVERNMENT
FOR SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY —
WHEREAS, the State of California has declared a budget deficit and has
chosen to reduce funding to local governments and school districts in order
to help balance their budget; and
WHEREAS, these reductions to the funding for local governments and
school districts will severely undermine local programs; and
WHEREAS. to partially offset the cuts to county government. the
Legislature of the State of California approved legislation, Senate Bill 2557,
which gives counties the ability to replace lost revenues by recovering the
costs for certain services rendered to other levels of local government; and
WHEREAS, those revenue raising opportunities include, but are not .
limited to, charging cities and certain other local jurisdictions for booking
persons that are arrested into county jails and collecting a pro-rata share of
the costs of the Property Tax Collection administration system from cities.
redevelopment agencies, school districts and special districts; and
WHEREAS,jail booking and property tax administration services have
historically been considered the responsibilities of counties under state
mandates; and
WHEREAS, charges for these services will severely undermine the
ability of cities. schools and other districts to meet important needs.
particularly related to education and other human services; and
WHEREAS, attempting to reconcile the detrimental effects of SB 2557
on cities, school districts and special districts with the County's financial
dilemma has unfairly and wastefully pitted one level of local government
against other levels of local government;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the local governments of S-n
Luis Obispo County (cities, county and special districts) and school districts,
do hereby join to establish a Coalition for Cooperative Government for San
Luis Obispo County to seek a resolution to this situation by encouraging
fundamental structural reform for the funding of local governments and
school districts so that the needs of the children and adults of our state can
properly be met at all levels of government; and
(over)
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, that while efforts are under way to resolve these
funding issues at the local level, the Coalition for Cooperative.Government of
San Luis Obispo County also supports a similar statewide coalition of local
governments and school districts to support legislation which provides
adequate and equitable funding for local governments, schools and special
districts

COMMUNICATION ITEM
TO: CITY COUNCIL 44
FROM: JERRY REISS, COUNCILMEMBER.:rAk
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO CONTRIBUTE $1,000 TO A CHILDREN AT RISK
CONFERENCE SPONSORED BY THE JUVENILE JUSTICE AND
DELINQUENCY PREVENTION COMMISSION
I would like the Council's concurrence in directing staff to include $1,000 in the 1991-92
Human Relations Commission budget to help sponsor a "Children at Risk" conference in
October of this year. The conference will be coordinated by the Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention Commission and focus on issues relating to "Children at Risk".
The purpose of the conference will be to increase inter-agency coordination in providing
services for "Children at Risk" and to identify areas where improvements could be made
to the present system for delivering services to juveniles.
Topics anticipated to be covered during the conference will range from child abuse
protective services to public safety and probation. All local agencies with responsibilities
for juvenile justice have agreed to participate in the conference, including the City's Police
Department (which is supportive of participating in the conference).
All cities and the County have been requested to contribute funding to the conference.
As demonstrated in the attached letter from District Two Supervisor, Mr. Lawrence
Laurent, he intends to request the Board of Supervisors to set aside $1,000 in the 1991-
92 budget for the conference. The monies generated from the cities and county will be
used to offset costs of sponsoring the conference. Any monies remaining after the
conference has taken place would be put into a reserve and used to match State grant
funds currently available for "Children at Risk" pilot programs.

Honorable Mayor Dunin and City Councilmembers:
I would like to. invite your council to consider its participation
in a very important conference scheduled for October 17, 1991. The
conference will focus on issues related to "Children-At-Risk" and
will involve all local agencies with responsibilities for juvenile
justice and welfare, ranging from child abuse protective services
to public safety and probation. The chief purpose of the
conference will be to increase inter-agency coordination of our
current (and limited) resources to meet a growing demand for
services and to explore whether a restructuring of the present
multi-agency system is necessary and possible which will hopefully
result in savings to city and county budgets.
This is a timely and critical issue which needs the support and
cooperation of all involved. What's at stake is our ability to
meet our responsibilities to help children at risk so . that they
will become productive and healthy citizens who will contribute to
( society rather than detract from it. I would like to ask you to
consider lending financial support to help this conference to
happen. I will be asking the County Board of Supervisors to
allocate $1, 000. 00, in its' 1991/1992 budget, to the conference
committee; and I hope your city will join with us in contributing
whatever you think appropriate. If you would like more information
on the conference, I invite you to contact C. Z. Brown, Juvenile
Justice Commissioner (473-0128) , or Jim Brabeck, also a Juvenile
Justice Commissioner (543-3751) .
I would also ask that you consider a contribution to this
conference not as a donation but as an investment in two worthy
goals:
1. Better serving a growing segment of our youth, and
2. Stretching (and hopefully saving) precious tax dollars.
Whether your council decides to participate or not, would you
please address your response to Mr. C. Z. Brown? His address is:
350 Old Ranch Road, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420.

COMMUNICATION ITEM
TO: Councilmemberss
FROM: Peg Pinard (3
SUBJECT: ATTENDANCE FOR ADVISORY BODY MEMBERS
We recently received a memo from the Promotional Coordinating Committee Chairman
regarding a member who missed six regular committee meetings in a ten month period.
The rationale for retaining the member was that he was "valuable." Look, I hope we
consider all members valuable! This justification means that if we decide we have to
replace someone, then somehow we don't deem them "valuable." This is not a good
situation and will only lead to further value judgments.
People can get themselves over-committed -- and it's not fair to the rest of the members
of any commission to let the absenteeism "ride."
Please be consistent on this policy so that the work doesn't fall on just a few. Could we
please get feedback on this from the two Council representatives involved?
Thank you.

I still don't feel that our current regulations are responsive to citizen concerns and would
like to elicit your support for a change I think might be satisfactory to all our concerns.
How about if we make the permits 30 days which automatically renew if there are no
problems? That way it is no hassle for anyone. If a problem develops then it can be
brought to a hearing for resolution and the public would feel that system was responsive.
What do you think? Please let me know. Thanks.
