Re: Liaison Reports
Copies: John Dunn, CAO; Lee Price, ' Clerk
This report covers two meetings:
1. Downtown Association Board of Directors
Tuesday, January 12
Several items continue to generate concern amongst Board members. These include
parking (let's get on with it); the Higuera Street Bridge project coming up; the
economic impact study underway for the proposed Marketplace; newspaper racks
proliferating on downtown sidewalks; and the need for downtown restroom facilities.
On the latter topic, some literature on a French sidewalk toilet was reviewed with
some enthusiasm These are self cleaning and cost a quarter to use (or a token
obtained from the police department). I have seen these in Paris and they're not bad.
I suspect the DA will be pushing the Council to run an experiment.
"First Night" was given kudos for a job well done although there were questions as to
whether running it on Farmers' Market night was good or not.
The Board briefly discussed the Council's two year goals program and appeared
satisfied with the submitted goals they submitted. (Moving ahead with Court Street
development at an early time is still not fully supported,)
The BIG good news was a report on the County Facilities Master Plan prepared by Jay
Farbstein and Associates of SLO. Jay's report recommends that the major County
administrative facilities as well as the courts stay downtown and expand onto the site
presently occupied by the County garage and doughnut shop properties running
between Monterey and Higuera. (This makes great sense to me and correlates with
the recommendations contained in the city's Downtown Concept Plan.)
My observation is that the Board's committees which consist of Economic Activities,
Parking, Promotions, Beautification and Thursday Night Activities continue to work
quite effectively. Board elections are coming up soon.

2. Revenue and Taxation Policy Committee, League of California Cities
San Francisco, Thursday, January 14
This was my fast meeting as one of two representatives of the Channel Cities Division
of the LCC. (I last served on this same committee in 1977 -78.) The committee is
chaired by Bob Price, Mayor of Bakersfield, and consists of 50 members and two LCC
staff I was pleasantly surprised to see the interaction in the discussions - no one
appeared bashfiil.
After opening remarks, introductions and a few routine announcements, the serious
work got underway. The major theme of this meeting was e-commerce or
telemarketing. The fact that Congress has given a three -year moratorium from
taxation is giving local government fits. Use of the intemet for the buying of goods it
predicted to grow by leaps and bounds. And as it does, it will eat into local retail sales
and that means a reduction in sales taxes which, as we know, is a major revenue
generator for local governments. One example: Chysler Corp. did a study the results
of which predict that in four years (4) 25 % of all auto sales will occur via e-
marketing.
Joe Hilson, Hayward Council Member and chair of the League's Telemarketing
Committee; Donald Maynor, Attorney at Law, Atherton; Brian Moura, Assistant City
Manager, San Carlos; Annette Nelson, Professor, College of Business, CSU, San Jose;
and Terry Ryan, Vice President, Tax Policy, Apple Inc., Cupertino made up a panel
speaking to "Potential Impact of Electronic Commerce on Revenue and Taxation.
The discussion was lively and I have several `papers" should any of you care to read
about the topic. The Committee voted to continue discussions into the next meeting.
AB 83, (Gardens) a bill which would preempt local government control of Home -
bases businesses was brought up for committee discussion and vote. The committee
voted unanimously to have the LCC Board oppose AB 83. Another bill ABXX
(Lempert) received mixed support. This as yet unnumbered bill would allow certain
property owners to transfer the base value of their primary residence from one county
to another in limited cases: (a) for victims of a crime who are being stalked; and (b) for
victims of natural disasters. The committee voted in majority to oppose (8) but
supported (b) on a 60 - 40 vote. This may be moot for us as I seem to recall that SLO
county voted not to support base property tax transfers.
It was clear that everyone present wanted money back from the State and were
hopeful that the new Guv would recognize the condition of local government coffers
depleted by state raids over the last couple ofyears.

SUBJECT: Liaison Report: LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES
On January 6m and 7te I attended a League Leadership Workshop in Sacramento becoming much
more familiar with the details of League operations and with their extremely well organized staff.
It appears to me that the League has a good handle on the needs and concerns of local cities and
will be lobbying aggressively on behalf of cities during the year. One item of special interest:
League staff emphasizes all cities should become very closely connected with their state
legislators, inviting them to all meetings, all special city functions, League Division meetings
and in every way possible including them in the local scene, and making them truly a part of our
local organization, thus reflecting our issues more completely when they consider state
legislation.
During one of the discussions it was pointed out that term limitations has had the effect of
reorienting state legislators more toward the needs of local constituents and less oriented toward
events which occur in Sacramento. This allows a golden opportunity for local communities to
have more influence on the state legislative program.
The Channel Counties Division League meeting will be held on Friday, February 5' at Embassy
Suites in San Luis Obispo, with hospitality /network time beginning at 6:00 p.m. Please mark
your calendars. As president of the Division, I would be extremely pleased to have a large
contingent from San Luis Obispo at all of our League meetings.
INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD
At its meeting of January 13, 1999, the Board received a report from the IWMA manager that the
Worm Bin Program had been extraordinarily successful. We sold 1,200 worm bins within five
hours and have a waiting list of 300 additional people. An analysis of the waste stream showed
that food waste is a major component, therefore, the Worm Bin Program is simply another
effective means of reducing the waste stream and meeting our AB 939 goals. The Board
authorized staff to order an additional 1,200 worm bins at a subsidized cost of $39.00 per bin.
