RESOLUTION NO. 10067 (2009 Series)
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
OF INTENTION TO ABANDON PORTIONS OF FREDERICK STREET
AND HUMBERT AVENUE RIGHTS -OF -WAY; ABAN 27 -06
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a
public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo,
California, on February 11, 2009, for the purpose of considering application
GPA/R/PD/TR/ABAN /A 27 -06 and ER 123 -08, and making a General Plan determination and
formulating a recommendation to the City Council on a request for abandonment of excess
rights -of -way including portions of Frederick Street and Humbert Avenue; and
WHEREAS, research of the title report shows that the City of San Luis Obispo does not
have fee ownership of land underlying the Street rights -of -way; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission found that the proposed rights -of -way
abandonments are consistent with the City's General Plan, and recommended that the City
Council approve the abandonments, based on findings and subject to conditions as indicated in
the Planning Commission Resolution, incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing
in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on March
17, 2009, pursuant to a proceeding instituted under application ABAN 27 -06, Housing Authority
of San Luis Obispo County, applicant.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Action - Intention to Abandon. It is the intention of the City of San Luis
Obispo to abandon portions of Frederick Street and Humbert Avenue as shown on the map
marked Exhibit A, pursuant to Section 8300 et seq.. of the State of California Streets and
Highways Code, and that the abandonments shall be based on the following findings and
conditions:
Findings:
1. The proposed abandonments of rights -of -way are consistent with the General Plan
because they are no longer needed for present or future public purposes.
2. Development of the rights -of -way as public streets would not serve any reasonable public
purpose since those properties fronting the rights -of -way gain access from other improved
streets, and there are no existing infrastructure improvements within the areas to be
abandoned.
R 10067
Resolution No. 10067 (2009fcries)
Page 2
3. The abandonments of the rights -of -way will benefit the general public by eliminating
unused right -of -way and the City's costs for maintaining additional infrastructure
improvements.
4. The proposed rights -of -way abandonments are categorically exempt from environmental
review under Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act.
Conditions:
1. The street abandonments shall not be finalized by the City until after all of the project

de -sac designs to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
3. A public pedestrian and vehicle access easement shall be provided from Humbert to
Lawrence in the area of the former Victoria Avenue abandonment, as generally depicted in
Exhibit A, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Said easement or dedication shall be
offered to the City concurrent with or prior to final street abandonment.
4. The final development proposal shall incorporate design features that will help to reduce
direct motor vehicle access from the site and/or adjoining street ends to the railroad tracks
and railroad right -of -way.
SECTION 2. Copies of the map showing the particulars of the proposed abandonments
are on file in the office of the City Clerk, at 990 Palm Street.

RESOLUTION NO. 10066 (2009 Series)
AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP FROM SERVICES &
MANUFACTURING TO MEDIUM HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FOR OF THE
UNADDRESSED PARCEL (APN. 004 - 951 -009) AND APPROVING A VESTING
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP, PURCHASE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY, USE PERMIT
FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A SENSITIVE SITE, AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FOR A RESIDENTIAL AND
MIXED -USE DEVELOPMENT AT 851 AND 860 HUMBERT AND THE
UNADDRESSED VACANT LOT (004- 951 -009); (TRACT 2977)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a
public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo,
California, on February 11, 2009, for the purpose of considering application R/PD/TR/ABAN /A
27 -06 and ER 123 -08, a request to allow a General Plan Amendment and Rezoning, Planned
Development Rezone, Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Abandonment of rights -of -way, Use permit
for development of a sensitive site, and Purchase of surplus property for a workforce housing and
mixed -use development; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing
in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on March
17, 2009, for the purpose of considering the project; and
WHEREAS, the Council has duly considered all evidence, including the
recommendation of the Planning Commission, testimony of interested parties, and the evaluation
and recommendations by staff, presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. CEQA Compliance Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the City
Council makes the following findings:
1. The project's Mitigated Negative Declaration which was prepared by the Community
Development Department on February 2, 2009 and reviewed by the Planning Commission
adequately identifies that with the incorporation of recommended mitigation measures there
is no foreseeable potential for significant environmental impacts by the proposed project.
2. The proposed project will provide quality affordable housing consistent with the intent of
California Government Code 65915, and that the requested density bonus, incentives and
concessions are reasonably necessary to facilitate the production of affordable housing units.
SECTION 2.
upon all the evidence, the City Council makes the following findings:
R 10066
Resolution No. 10066 (2009 eeries)
Page 2
3. The proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with General Plan Land Use
Element policies regarding the expansion of housing opportunities and maximizing the
development potential of infill sites. Additionally the project is consistent with Housing
Element goals and policies which encourage facilitating housing production and land use
efficiency, including HE Policy 3.12.7, which specifically identifies this area as potentially
being appropriate for residential uses.
4. The redesignation of the unaddressed vacant parcel from an industrial designation
(Service & Manufacturing) to a residential designation (Medium -High Density Residential)
would not adversely impact the overall supply of manufacturing property in the area, as the
proximity of the site to residential uses and constrained access make it undesirable for many
industrial uses.
SECTION 3. Subdivision Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the City Council
makes the following findings:
5. The proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map, together with the provisions for its design
and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan and Airport Land Use Plan, including
compatibility with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the
General Plan.
6. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive or natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision.
7. As conditioned, the subdivider will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City and its
agents, officers and employees from any claim, action or proceeding against the City or its
agents, officers or employees to attack, set aside, void or annul an approval of the City
Council, Planning Commission, or City Staff concerning a subdivision.
8. The proposed vesting tentative tract map is consistent with the General Plan, including
LUE 2.4.7, HE 3.4.2 and 3.13, and CE Goal 2, COSE 4.5.1 and 4.6.17, because the
subdivision will provide residential development anticipated by the General Plan and provide
compact and sustainable housing options affordable to a variety of household types.
9. The site is physically suited for the proposed type of development because the project has
been designed to utilize available residential density while providing quality common open
spaces and roadway connections which will benefit the general public.
10. The design of the subdivision, or type of improvements, is not likely to cause serious
public health or safety problems because the type of improvements are appropriate for the
location will be designed to meet existing building and safety codes.
11. The design of the subdivision, or the type of improvements, will not conflict with
easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the
proposed subdivision because such easements will be maintained.
SECTION 4. Disposition of Surplus Property Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the
Resolution No. 10066 (20090ries)
Page 3
City Council makes the following findings:
12. The City no longer has need for the vacant property located just west of the railroad right -
of -way.
13. Disposition of this property to facilitate an affordable housing development is consistent
with the policies of the Land Use and Housing Elements of the General Plan.
SECTION 5. Use Permit for Development of a Sensitive Site Findings. Based upon all
the evidence, the City Council makes the following findings:
14. Development of the site is consistent with the intent of the "S- overlay" and will not be
detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of persons working or living at the site or within
the vicinity, as the project is consistent with ALUP safety and compatibility policies and City
noise standards.
15. As conditioned, all residents of the site will be duly noticed of both Airport operations
and adjacent noise sources.
SECTION 6. Action. The City Council does hereby approve the General Plan Amendment,
Vesting Tentative Tract Map, disposition of surplus property, and adoption of a Negative
Declaration for property located at 851 and 860 Humbert and the unaddressed vacant parcel
(Application GPA/R/PD/TR/ABAN /A 27 -06 and ER 123 -08; Tract 2977), with incorporation of
the following project mitigation measures, conditions and code requirements:
A. Mitigation Measures

j. Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto streets, or
wash off trucks and equipment leaving the site, and
k. Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried onto
adjacent paved roads. Water sweepers with reclaimed water should be used where
feasible.
5. Prior to recordation of the final map, a screening level health risk assessment shall be
performed to determine potential health risks to residents of the development. Depending on
the results of the screening level health risk assessment a more comprehensive analysis may
be required.

occupants (whether as owners or renters) shall receive full and accurate disclosure
concerning the noise, safety, or overflight impacts associated with airport operations prior to
entering any contractual obligation to purchase, lease, rent, or otherwise occupy any property
or properties within the airport area.
8. Aviation easements will be recorded for all properties involved in the proposed
development with recordation of the final map.
9. The mixed -use structure west of Victoria Avenue shall not be constructed until after
adoption of the South Broad Street Corridor Plan, or redesignation of the site to a land use
designation which allows for a combination of commercial and residential uses. Any such
Land Use changes shall be reviewed by the Airport Land Use Commission for compliance
with the Airport Land Use Plan.
10. All owners and occupants shall receive disclosure concerning the adjacent manufacturing
uses and potential noise exposure.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO DENYING
AN APPEAL OF THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMISSION'S ACTION FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 399 FOOTHILL BOULEVARD
(ARC 106 -08)
WHEREAS, the Architectural Review Commission, on December 1, 2008, approved a
mixed -use project with four dwellings and 1;494 square feet of commercial floor area in the
Neighborhood Commercial zone; and
WHEREAS, Steve & Stephanie Hilstein filed an appeal of the Architectural Review
Commission's action on December 11, 2008; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing
in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on February
17, 2009, for the purpose of considering an appeal of the Architectural Review Commission's
action; and
WHEREAS, the Council has duly considered all evidence, including the record of the
Architectural Review Commission hearing and action, testimony of interested parties, and the
evaluation and recommendations by staff, presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the City Council makes the
following findings:
1. With approval of Administrative Use Permit A 55 -07, the proposed project will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of persons living or working at the site or
in the vicinity because the new mixed -use building and associated site improvements
conform to all Zoning Regulation requirements.
2. The project is consistent with General Plan policies that encourage mixed -use projects in
commercial districts and accommodate affordable housing production and variety.
3. The project's mixed uses are compatible with their surroundings, with neighboring uses,
and with each other because all of the uses allowed or conditionally allowed in the C -N zone
were chosen to insure on -going compatibility between commercial and residential uses.
4. The mixed uses provide greater public benefits than single -use development of the site
because the project includes residential units that are affordable by design and allow people
to live near work places and services.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO APPROVING A USE PERMIT FOR THE ART CENTER
BUILDING DESIGN AT 1010 BROAD STREET
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a
public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo,
California, on October 22, 2008, for the purpose of considering a Use Permit to allow the Art
Center to construct a new building in the Downtown Commercial Historic, Special
Considerations Zone (C- D -H -S) Zone at 1010 Broad Street; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the hearing was to make a recommendation to the City
Council on the merits of the Use Permit in consideration of the S- overlay zone; and
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing to consider the Planning
Commission's recommendation on February 17, 2009; and
WHEREAS, notices of said public hearings were made at the time and in the manner
required by law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the testimony
of the applicant, interested parties, and City Advisory bodies, and the evaluation and
recommendations by staff, presented at said hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
Approval. The request to allow the Use Permit to construct a new building for the Art
Center located in the S- Overlay zone is hereby approved, based on the following findings and
subject to the condition set forth below:
Findings:
1. The proposed new building is compatible and complementary to structures on adjacent
properties as required by Ordinance 1514 since, as conditioned, the building massing,
articulation, exterior materials and roof incorporate materials and colors that are sympathetic
to nearby historic structures, specifically the Mission and the Carnegie Library.
2. As conditioned, the proposed new building is consistent with General Plan Conservation
and Open Space Element Policies that are designed to protect and enhance the City's
historic districts. Furthermore, the addition of new landscaping will enable the building to
blend into its setting adjacent to the creek and surrounding riparian vegetation.
R 10059
LI
Resolution No. 10059 (2009 Series)

3. As conditioned, the proposed new building is consistent with the Historic Preservation
Guidelines which require that new primary structures within Historical Preservation
Districts should fiuther promote the historic character of those areas in that the building
design contrasts with the existing historic buildings, thereby highlighting the unique
architecture and monumental status of each.
4. As conditioned, the proposed building design is consistent with the Community Design
Guidelines since the height and scale of the proposed new structure complements existing
adjacent buildings and will provide human scale and proportion.
5. The specific site of this project provides a sylvan setting within the Downtown District
that is unique and different from retail storefronts that are characteristic of much of the
Downtown Historic District.
6. The development project does not require additional environmental review because the
rezoning of the property (Resolution 9975) examined the Art Center proposal in an
environmental initial study and a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project was
approved by City Council.
Condition:
The project shall return to the Architectural Review Commission to assure that the exterior
color, texture and materials are compatible with the setting, and to consider adding pedestrian
scale to the building on Broad and on Monterey Streets through art display windows, sculptural
elements, or landscape features that help interpret the primary function of the building as a
center for art.

SECTION 405 -A: OVE
Purpose
•
Attachment I
The City's fleet represents a significant investment in the tools needed to deliver day -to-
day services. This section of the Financial Management Manual outlines responsibilities,
policies, and procedures for managing the City's fleet according to established
objectives.
2. Objectives
a. Minimize fleet life -cycle costs. Typically, it makes sense to get as much service
life as possible out of a fleet unit. On the other. hand, as fleet units get older and
accumulate more miles, operation and maintenance costs eventually become
excessive. Also, surplus value declines sharply after a certain point. Striking a
sensible balance among these fleet management principles can maximize utility
and minimize overall costs.
b. Avoid unnecessary capital outlays for fleet expansion and replacement.
Expanding the fleet or replacing an existing unit may not make sense if the unit is
used only sparingly.
C. Preserve and improve fleet safety, utility, reliability, and economy. Regular and
competent inspection and maintenance can prevent safety problems, maximize
reliability, and minimize long -term costs. Newer vehicles usually incorporate
more advanced technology such as airbags, anti -lock braking systems, and
engines that bum cleaner, last longer, and use less fuel. New construction
equipment usually incorporates technology that improves the productivity and
safety of equipment operators. Also, newer units are naturally more reliable.
d. Maintain a positive image for the City. Routinely cleaning, maintaining, and
repairing fleet units can demonstrate a commitment to good stewardship over City
assets. Operating older vehicles and equipment can sometimes convey a positive
impression of cost - consciousness, if the units are not allowed to become unsightly
or noisy. Stylish features with marginal utility may project an inappropriate
image of luxury or extravagance.
e. Set a progressive example of environmental stewardship. Buying and operating
alternative -fuel and high efficiency conventional -fuel units, where functionally
and fiscally practical, can demonstrate the practicality of such units in reducing
conventional -fuel use and enhancing air quality. It can also encourage the initial
supply of innovative products until widespread demand makes them more feasible
to produce.
f. Encourage responsible use of City vehicles and equipment. Conscientious use
of City vehicles and equipment can improve safety and reduce liability.

Attachment I
City Manager Responsibilities
a. Oversee the acquisition, operation, and disposal of all City-owned and leased
Fleet vehicles and. equipment.
b. Authorize replacement of fleet units that have been damaged beyond repair when
the cost or method of replacement is within the City Manager's purchasing
authority and adequate resources are available within existing budget
appropriations.
C. Amend fleet management policies and procedures as required to accomplish
adopted fleet management objectives.
2. Department Head Responsibilities
a. Ensure fleet management policies and procedures are followed.
b. Budget for fleet additions and replacements not funded through the Fleet
Replacement Fund.
C. Ensure that all department employees who operate fleet units have appropriate
and valid operator licenses.
d. Ensure discussion between management staff occurs to identify and consider
incremental changes when Transit contracts renew or key fleet staff positions
vacate. Potential opportunities could include combining business activities to take
advantage of economies of scale, better integration or centralized administrative
support, integration of fleet asset management data collection and reporting,
establishing equipment standards and using master contracts for outsourced
service providers.
3. General Fleet Coordinator Responsibilities
a. Manage the acquisition, disposal and replacement of all units not assigned to the
Fire or Transit Fleet.
b. Service and repair all vehicles and other related fleet equipment including
portable and fixed emergency generators not assigned to the Fire or Transit Fleet.
C. Manage inventories of the fuel, oil, tires, and replacement parts needed for all
units not assigned to the Fire or Transit Fleet.
d. Document the maintenance history and cost, the fuel use, and the accumulated
mileage (or hours) for each unit not assigned to the Fire or Transit Fleet.
C. Identify units to be disposed of.
4. Fire Fleet Coordinator Responsibilities

certification and record keeping in maintaining unique equipment. A Fire Mechanic
position and Fire equipment maintenance facilities based at Fire Station One has been a
long standing and successful norm for managing the Fire Fleet. This practice is intended
to continue indefinitely, however, when Fire maintenance staff positions vacate, the
Public Works and Fire departments should take the opportunity to identify and consider
potential opportunities that could be beneficial for consolidating some or all elements of
the Fire and General Fleets. Examples may be combining business activities to take
advantage of economies of scale, better integrated or centralized administrative support,
integration of asset data collection and reporting, adoption of common equipment
standards and using master contracts for outsourced service providers.

d. Document the maintenance history and cost, the fuel use, and the accumulated

e. Identify units to be disposed of
5. Transit Fleet Coordinator Responsibilities
The City has established a separate Transit Fleet to address the specific needs of this
specialized equipment. Transit equipment has a special roll and demands that require
special certification and record keeping in maintaining unique equipment. A Transit
Management position, comprehensive Service Contract, and Transit equipment
maintenance facilities based at 29 Prado Road has been a long standing and successful
norm for managing the Transit Fleet. This practice is intended to continue indefinitely,
however, when Transit contracts are up for renewal or key Transit management staff
positions vacate, Public Works should take the opportunity to identify and consider
potential opportunities for consolidating some or all elements of the Transit and General
Fleet. Examples may be combining business activities to take advantage of economies of
scale, better integrated or centralized administrative support, integration of fleet asset
data collection and reporting, adoption of common equipment standards and using master
contracts for outsourced service providers.
a. Manage the acquisition, disposal and replacement of all units assigned to the
Transit Fleet. The Transit Fleet includes buses and service vehicles owned by the
City and used by the City's transit service contractor. Because such contractors
prefer to service and repair the vehicles they operate, the Transit Fleet is kept
separate from other City units.
b. Oversee the maintenance and operation activities of the Transit Fleet that are
performed by the transit service contractor.
C. Identify units to be disposed of

Attachment I
6. Vehicle and Equipment Operator Responsibilities
a. Exercise good judgment.
b. Consult a supervisor or the fleet coordinator if any operator responsibilities are
not clear.
C. Use City units only for conducting City business unless 1) a vehicle has been
approved as a part of compensation or 2) personal use of a vehicle has been
specifically approved by the City Manager.
d. Arrange for emergency repairs whenever consulting with the fleet coordinator
would be impractical. Pay for emergency repairs by either using a City credit
card or paying for the repair and submitting receipts for reimbursement.
e. Wash and vacuum units periodically to maintain appearance and prevent
premature deterioration of surfaces and materials. Use City-owned washing
facilities if available. If City-owned washing facilities are not available, use a
commercial car wash. Use commercial waxing and detailing services only with
prior approval of the fleet coordinator.
f. Pay for any parking fees and tolls required while on City business. Submit
receipts for reimbursement.
g. Pay any traffic and parking fines incurred. These payments are not reimbursable.
h. Carry a valid California driver license.
i. Obey all traffic laws.
j. Except for emergency response, strictly observe speed limits and avoid rapid

Section 405 -C: Poli
Attachment 1
Minimum Fleet Size. The number of units in the fleet should not exceed the minimum
number of units needed to effectively conduct City business.
2. Reviewing Vehicle Use. When budgeting for fleet replacements, average annual mileage
or hours should be calculated for each unit to be replaced. If average annual use appears
to be much lower than the average annual use within the same vehicle or equipment
category, the following options should be considered instead of replacement:
a. Using a vehicle assigned to a convenient vehicle pool
b. Occasionally borrowing from, or establishing on -going shared equipment with
another operating program.
C. Renting a vehicle or equipment item for a limited period of time in accordance
with Financial management Manual requirements and City Manager approval
where required.
d. Reimbursing employees for use of privately -owned personal vehicles where it is a
practical or necessary alternative to City vehicle use., particularly if such use may
result in reduction in fleet size and does not conflict with trip reduction efforts.
e. Leasing of select construction or alternative fuel equipment.
3. Reimbursement for Business Use of Personal Vehicles. When use of a privately -
owned personal vehicle is authorized for City business, reimbursement will be made at
the current Internal Revenue Service rate allowed for business use of vehicles.
Consistent with the IRS calculation of this rate, the per mile reimbursement rate will
reflect all costs associated with operating a vehicle, including, but not limited to,
depreciation, lease payments, maintenance, repairs, fuel, oil, insurance, and vehicle
registration fees.
4. Timely Disposal of Replacement Units. Replacement of units will not be used as a
strategy to expand the fleet either temporarily or permanently. When a unit is replaced, it
will expeditiously be declared surplus and be disposed of, except that the City Manager
may approve a one -time temporary retention and use not to exceed 180 days.
a. The General Fleet Coordinator may retain one surplus general purpose sedan or
pickup truck for a loaner vehicle to be used by departments when their vehicles
are being serviced.
b. The General Fleet Coordinator may retain one surplus backhoe /loader for light -
duty use at the Corporation Yard.
5. Authority to Dispose of Surplus Units. The Director of Finance & Information
Technology is authorized to:
a. Declare replaced units as surplus whenever the Council has previously approved
replacement through the budget process or other Council action.
b. Dispose of surplus units by sale, auction, trade -in, or other disposal method
according to City policies and procedures.
Attachment 1
Section 405 -1): Policies
Based on past experience with purchase of used general fleet equipment, and to ensure
reliability and value, the City's primary practice should be purchasing new vehicles and
equipment when replacements are needed. Buying new fleet equipment takes advantage
of design advancements and improvements in fuel usage at reasonable cost from
competitive bidding through state and local cooperative purchase opportunities. This
does not preclude the option to buy used on a case -by -case basis if there are specific
reasons why used vehicles or specialize equipment is a more practical and cost effective
alternative to buying new.
2. Exception. One standing exception to this policy will be that the City will purchase used
general - purpose police sedans. Police Department has found that it needs general -
purpose sedans that:
a. Are not typically specified for government fleet use and have modest exterior trim
levels so the sedans do not stand out as stripped -down government vehicles. This
is important because these cars are often pressed into service for detective or
undercover work.
b. Have large interior capacities with plenty of seat width and legroom in the rear.
This is important because these cars must occasionally respond to emergencies
carrying four fully equipped patrol officers.
To meet these two criteria and keep replacement budgets reasonable, the City should buy
used vehicles to replace general - purpose police sedans. This procedure is common
practice in California cities when replacing similar police vehicles.
7
•
Section 405 -E: Policies
•
Attachment 1
The City should incorporate "green" vehicles into its General, Fire, and Transit Fleets
when such units:
a. Will produce significantly less air pollution, use less fossil fuel or have higher
miles - per - gallon ratings than comparable conventional units.
b. Will not compromise fleet safety, utility, and reliability.
C. Can be fueled or recharged locally.
d. Can be serviced economically and locally.
e. Have a projected life -cycle cost that no more than 20% higher than the projected
life -cycle cost of comparable conventional -fuel units. The impact of
environmental externalities, such as secondary pollution or market impacts from
bio fuel production and distribution, should be considered with potential decisions
in procuring alternative fuel vehicles.
2. Each new and replacement unit should have the best fuel- efficiency and the lowest
emissions available while performing its primary program use. Incidental or occasional
program uses should not compromise good fuel- efficiency and low emissions. For
example, if the primary use is local transportation for one or two people, then a small or
ultra -small vehicle should be selected. If the program occasionally needs a larger unit to
transport three or four people to an out -of -town conference, such a unit should be rented
or borrowed from another program area.

2. For units bought used, the age and mileage targets apply to age and mileage since new,
rather than age and mileage since acquired by the City.
3. Age /mileage/hours standards will be periodically reviewed and may be adjusted because
of improvements in technology or maintenance practices.
4. In order to maintain the high level of reliability required for emergency response
vehicles, police patrol units should be replaced when they reach their mileage targets..

targets.
5. For non -safety units, the age /mileage/hours targets are only guidelines. Units in
exceptional condition with low -cost repair histories may continue in service beyond
expected age /mileage/hours targets at the discretion of the fleet coordinator. On the other
hand, units may be recommended for replacement before expected age /mileage/hours
targets are reached if there are problems with irreparable damage, high maintenance cost,
unreliability, unsafe components, or technological obsolescence.

Attachment 1
Note. All Fleet purchases such as Police patrol vehicles, general purpose fire trucks, sedans,
station wagons, passenger vans, light to heavy trucks, utility vehicles, and construction
equipment should generally be acquired new through State of California Multiple Award
Schedule (CMAS) contracts. Specialized units not generally available though CMAS should
generally be acquired new through "piggyback" purchases, where other local agencies have
conducted competitive procurements and made those contracts available to the City.
Obtain a copy of the purchasing contract that extends contract prices to other government
agencies.
2. Ensure that the specified unit along with options is appropriate for the intended use.
3. Contact any local dealers that might have been potential bidders to ensure that the
cooperative contract price is a good value and prudent alternative to advertising for bids.
4. Include only those options needed to meet work requirements and typical comfort needs.
Avoid options like fancy wheels or leather upholstery that might be perceived as
luxurious or extravagant, even if there is no difference in price compared to ordinary
options.
5. Specify the exterior paint color to be white. Specify another base color (preferably solid
and non - metallic) if authorized or if it will demonstrably improve safety, enhance utility,
or reduce cost.
6. Prepare a purchase order to the contract dealer. Depending on the cost, submit a Council
Agenda Report or City Manager Report requesting approval of the purchase order.
7. Receive the unit and examine it for defects and conformance to specifications. If
satisfactory, mark the dealer's invoice "okay to pay," initial it, and forward it to
Accounting with a copy of the purchase order. Note: CMAS contracts often include
substantial cash discounts for payment within a stated period of time. For this reason,
invoices should be processed promptly to earn such discounts.
8. Forward any title documents to Accounting.
9. Pay any State of California CMAS invoices and charge the appropriate project account.
The State assesses a nominal service charge — typically one percent of the base price — for
CMAS procurements. Invoices for these service charges usually arrive two or three
months after the procurement.

Avoid options like fancy wheels or leather upholstery that might be perceived as
luxurious or extravagant, even if there is no difference in price compared to ordinary
options.
4. Specify the exterior paint color to be white. Specify another base color (preferably solid
and non - metallic) if it will demonstrably improve safety, enhance utility, or reduce cost.
5. If the unit will be picked up at the dealer or delivered by common carrier, eliminate
insurance requirements from Section B (General Terms and Conditions) and eliminate
Section E (Insurance Requirements) from the specification.
6. Eliminate the contract requirements from Section B (General Terms and Conditions).
Eliminate Section D (Form of Agreement) from the specification.
7. In Section C (Special Terms and Conditions), change language about awarding a contract
to language about issuing a purchase order.
8. Along with the bid form, include a specification conformance form on which the bidder
affirmatively indicates that its product meets the description included in Section A of the
Invitation for Bid.
9. Depending on estimated cost, submit a City Manager Report or Council Agenda Report
requesting authorization to invite bids. If a Council Agenda Report is submitted, request
that the City Manager be authorized to award a purchase order if the cost is within
budget.
10. Advertise for bids.
11. Open bids.
12. Prepare a purchase order to the successful bidder. Submit a City Manager Report
requesting approval of the purchase order.
13. Forward the purchase order to Accounting.
14. Receive the unit and examine it for defects and conformance to specifications. If
satisfactory, mark the dealer's invoice . "okay to pay," initial it, and forward it to

Section 405 -K: Procedures
BUYING USED
•
Attachment 1
Note. Although the City's past policy has been to buy used vehicles through dealers who sell
used rental vehicles for major rental companies, there have been two disadvantages with using
this procedure: 1) prices have tended to be at the high end of the retail range, above what is
commonly referred to as "high blue book" value and 2) long -term reliability has been dubious
because of the effects of multiple drivers and hard rental service.
To avoid these problems and, particularly, to find vehicles in excellent overall condition with
relatively low mileage and reasonable prices, the City should use local auto brokers to find
suitable vehicles at auction. This approach avoids high dealer markups and allows purchases
of vehicles from leased corporate fleets. Such vehicles are usually in better shape than rental
vehicles because they have typically had only one driver and have been subject to strict lease
conditions regarding condition and mileage at the end of the lease.
1. Depending on estimated cost, submit a City Manager Report or Council Agenda Report
requesting authorization to buy a used vehicle.
2. The Fleet Coordinator will initiate a search for a vehicle through brokers who buy and
sell vehicles.
3. Select a late model, low mileage vehicle that appears to be in excellent overall condition.
Consider only vehicles with options needed to meet work requirements and typical
comfort needs. Avoid vehicles with options like fancy wheels or leather upholstery that
might be perceived as luxurious or extravagant, even if there is no difference in price
compared to ordinary options.
4. Perform a technical inspection to confirm the vehicle is in excellent condition.
5. Negotiate a purchase price, including an extended warranty as appropriate, to be included
in a written buyers order from the dealer.
6. Prepare a payment voucher and submit a City Manager Report for approval authorizing
the appropriate Fleet Department Head to approve the purchase.
7. Forward the payment voucher to Accounting.
8. Receive the vehicle and examine it for defects and conformance to the buyers order. If
satisfactory, pick up the check from Accounting and pay the broker.
9. Forward any title documents to Accounting.

2009 FEDERAL PRIORITES
DISCUSSION
(November 21, 2008)
ECONOMIC STIMULUS
Exhibit B
California's 480 cities are facing a major economic downturn that has required severe cuts to
police, fire, parks, libraries and other vital services as well as put public infrastructure projects
on hold. This is occurring while the demand on city services and infrastructure is increasing
with 500,000 new residents calling California home each year. The League urges Congress
and the Administration to provide economic stimulus to our lagging economy by providing
urgent funding for the following:
• Energy Block Grant for Infrastructure & Green Jobs
• CDBG for Infrastructure
• Highway Infrastructure
• Water & Wastewater Infrastructure
• Public Housing Modernization
• Public Safety Jobs & Technology
• Transit Equipment & Infrastructure
• Restoration of the Rental Housing Tax Break
ENERGY /ENVIRONMENT
In California, 31 million of the state's population of 38 million lives in a city. California's cities
continue to work collaboratively with state and regional partners to implement sustainable
community strategies to increase energy efficiency and lower consumption for this population,
as well as work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to1990 levels by 2020. To effectively
accomplish the goals of local governments, the League urges Congress to:
• Support for full funding of the Energy and Environmental Efficiency Block Grant program,
authorized in the Energy Policy Act of 2007 (P.L. 110 -140). This will provide resources
directly to local governments for programs that improve community energy efficiency,
develop and implement community and transportation energy conservation programs; and
promote and develop alternative and renewable energy sources;
• Support climate - friendly transportation and land -use policies that assist local governments,
integrate new growth into existing communities, and develop transit oriented, bicycle and
pedestrian - friendly communities utilizing green building design and construction to
maximize resources and reduce energy consumption; and
• Ensure that local governments can continue, and not be preempted in, their efforts to
decrease carbon emissions.
0 • Exhibit B
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
• Support increased funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program,
which is critical in assisting urban and rural cities throughout California with creating jobs,
providing affordable housing, eliminating blight and generating new economic investment.
In addition, seek flexibility in the CDBG state program to enhance the use of the program
by California's 314 non- entitlement cities (cities under 50,000).
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
As the state's population continues to grow and California grapples with the effects of the
national mortgage crisis, our cities are deeply concerned about the need for affordable
housing. The League urges Congress to:
• Foreclosures: Support the allocation of increased resources for the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program that truly target communities with the highest foreclosure rates in the
nation;
• Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers: Support full funding of the Section 8 program, which
assists very low- income families, the elderly and the disabled afford decent and safe
housing;
• Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Program: Support increased funding for
the HOME program, which provides formula grants to local governments to create
affordable housing for low- income households;
• National Housing Trust Fund: Dedicate additional sources of funding to the National
Housing Trust Fund enacted in Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-
289) to help fund the production of new housing, and the rehabilitation of existing housing
that is affordable for low- income people;
• Preservation of Affordable Housing: Support initiatives that provide a variety of financial
restructuring options, such as loan forgiveness, payment deferrals, grants, loans and loan
guarantees to preserve rental housing for long -term affordable use;
• Workforce Housing: Seek the creation of new initiatives that provide affordable housing to
working families. The housing shortage has particularly affected low- and middle- income
families. In many areas, workers who provide basic services to local governments, such as
teachers, firefighters, and police officers, cannot afford to live in the communities where
they work; and
• Housing Tax Incentives: Seek tax incentives to promote investment in the production of
multifamily rental housing, including expanding the Low Income Housing Tax Credit to
create mixed income developments.
WATER & WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE
Vital to fueling and keeping the world's eighth largest economy moving, California cities' water
and wastewater systems need a significant overhaul. There has been almost no new
investment in California's water and wastewater systems in more than 30 years. This is putting
increasing pressure on the state as California is expected to grow by 10 million by 2020 and is
working to meet new, more stringent standards for safe drinking water and clean water. The .
League urges Congress to:
0 0 Exhibit B
• Provide adequate and reliable long -term funding for municipal water delivery, maintenance
and treatment needs to meet federally mandated water quality standards and maintain the
vital infrastructure necessary to ensure the availability of clean water for an increasing
population.
REAUTHORIZATION OF SAFETEA -LU
California has more than 45,000 miles of highway and one of the most developed transit
systems in the nation. Our transportation systems, which face rapidly growing vehicle use by
an ever increasing number of new drivers, have witnessed the cost of building new lane miles
rise much faster than inflation and road maintenance needs increase with the age of the
freeway system. California's cities are responsible for administering the local streets and roads
that connect with the state and federal highway system. As Congress begins to consider the
reauthorization of the nation's highway and transit laws, the League urges Congress to:
• Support Federal legislative efforts such as transient oriented development that bring
together transportation, land use planning, energy and the environment and housing and
economic development strategies to reduce congestion and create jobs;
• Make reconstruction and preservation of the existing system a high priority for
expenditures; and target funds for maintenance to local agencies, which are charged with
administering the system; and
• Support Federal transportation legislation that fully utilizes a Federal, state and local
partnership to develop multi -modal transportation solutions to reduce congestions,
streamline transportation project delivery and integrate transportation planning solutions for
the nation's highway, rail, air and port freight systems to achieve more efficient goods
movement.
PUBLIC SAFETY /HOMELAND SECURITY /DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
California's cities are on the front line of the war on terrorism and crime. To strengthen
California's homeland security, emergency preparedness and crime- fighting efforts, the
League urges Congress to:
• Support increased Federal investment in resources critical to local law enforcement,
including full funding for the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant, as authorized in the
reauthorization of the program (P.L. 110 -294), and the Community Oriented Policing
Services (COPS) program, as -well as integrated public safety communications systems
• Maximize first responder funding to California cities, as well as flexibility in the use of funds
to assist areas of need (i.e. personnel, training, and target hardening);
• Support for full funding for the Interoperable Emergency Communications Grant Program;
and
• Support increased funding for disaster preparedness, prevention, recovery, and response
for all- hazard threats, including investment in assisting communities with necessary
upgrades to existing flood control systems.
• ® Exhibit B
LIMITATIONS ON LOCAL FUNDING
California local governments, many of whom are currently facing extremely difficult fiscal
circumstances, already face limited options to generate revenue to provide valuable city
services while simultaneously working to expand access intemet access to residents. The
League urges Congress to:
• Oppose legislation that would reduce or eliminate local government resources by providing
a tax moratorium for the expanding and profitable cellular telecommunications industry;
• Oppose legislative and administrative efforts by online travel companies to circumvent
remittance of transient occupancy taxes to local governments from hotel reservations
purchased using the internet, and
• Oppose legislation that would preempt California local government's ability to regulate and
collect revenue derived from state and local use taxes.

RESOLUTION NO. 10051 (2009 Series)
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO OF INTENTION TO ABANDON A PORTION OF
FROOM RANCH WAY
(ABAN 201 -07)
WHEREAS, the City of San Luis Obispo Planning Commission conducted a regular
public hearing on March 26, 2008 for the purpose of making a General Plan determination and
formulating a recommendation to the City Council on a request for abandonment of a portion of
Froom Ranch Way adjacent to the retail stores of Costco and Home Depot; and
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission found that the proposed right -of -way
abandonment was consistent with the City's General Plan, and recommended that the City
Council approve the abandonment, based on findings and subject to conditions as indicated in
Planning Commission Resolution, incorporated herein by reference;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1. Action - Intention to Abandon. It is the intention of the City of San Luis
Obispo to abandon a portion of Froom Ranch Way, as described and shown in Attached Exhibits,
pursuant to Section 8300 et seq. of the State of California Streets and Highways Code, and that
the abandonment shall be based on the following findings, and subject to the following
conditions and code requirements:
Findings
1. The proposed right -of -way abandonment is consistent with the General plan because it is no
longer needed for present or future public purposes since this portion of the road acts as an
entry to a shopping center with existing private circulation improvements.
2. Extension of the right -of -way as a public street further to the southeast would serve no
public purpose and could create significant environmental impacts since property to the
southeast abuts open space lands with significant slope.

management of the driveway entries, allowing pedestrian and vehicular circulation
improvements, allowing for private maintenance of existing private drainage facilities and
eliminating the City's costs for maintaining infrastructure within the right of way.
4. The proposed right -of -way abandonment is categorically exempt from environmental
review under Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act.
