12. At this time the -City Council considered adoption of Ordinance levying a tax for
the current fiscal year 1962 -63 on all property owners in the City.
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council, at thie time I would like to review with
you the chain of events which lead up to the recommendation I am about to make.
"As you know, last year, after careful study, the Council made the decisionto
construct .a sewer plant enlargement and extend the trunk line out South Higuera
to the sewer plant, plus.the construction of a new water filtration plant. After
this decision was made, we then - embarked upon exploration of the different methods
of financing available.
"As you will recall, I proposed the revenue bond method mainly because it more
equitably distributes the cost of services required among the-people. The theory
of this system being that the cost of the service is directly applied to the user,
therefore lifting the tax burden from the property.
"I believe you will agree that the original intent of the revenue bonds was not
to increase the cost of operation of this City government by 189, nor to see how
much the individual citizen will bear in his contribution towards the support of
City government.
"I believe as stated before, the.revenue system is a just and equitable system
when properly operated.
"When the City embarks upon this new method of financing, we will remove many
costs that had been charged to the General Fund and will apply these costs against
the revenue of the sewer collection and the water vote increase. This transfer
of costs results in reducing the budget expenditure of the General Fund by more
than $60,000.00. Isn't it fair to assume that since these costs have been carried
by a general rate of taxation and will now be carried by revenue from other means
that taxes that supported them before can now be relieved in an equal amount, such
as a 20 cent reduction in taxes?
"Further, shouldn't we take into consideration the fact that our budget has been
increased over last year by more than $500,000.00? We are embarking on a program
of good improvements; we have added street improvements,. traffic safety equip-
ment and personnel - additional fire personnel and equipment. Many of these pro-
jects are already under way or completed. This program can be supported with a
20 cent reduction in effect. This may be substantiated by the fact that in the
1961 -62 year we expended $2,090,236.54 of this amount, there was paid $251,195.62
for Whale Rock overcosts. This will not occur in this year, therefore, there will
be available even with a 20 cent tax reduction, more than $500,000.00 over the
amount that was expended in the previous year. It is not my intention to belabor the
matter but I do believe there is one more point in favor of a tax reduction. This
is the fact that there are trends upward in the County tax rate and further that
the absolute need for school funds substantiated by the bond election on September
4th will result in additional costs to the taxpayer..
"I believe taking all of these needs into consideration is our responsibility.
Don't you agree it is our obligation to reduce the load when we have the oppor-
tunity?
"Council, I hereby submit for your approval' a tax rate of 1.30."
Mayor Davidson stated that possibly the tax of the General Fund could be reduced
to 60 cents, thereby reducing the tax rate by 19z cents.
Councilman Shipsey stated that the City Council had discussed the tax rate matter
' at budget hearings and that the majority of the Council had agreed not to reduce
the tax rate at this time so that some of the capital improvements which have not
been started could be undertaken at this time when funds would be available for
the good of the community and urged that the tax rate not be changed, but that
many of the worthwhile projects now be considered and completed.
Councilman Graves stated that the Council had been putting off many projects which
were desired by the public such as acquiring land for recreation, street improve-
ments, grade crossings, overpasses, planting of street trees, etc., and if the tax
rate is reduced then the City will continue to fall further behind in improvement.
Miss McNeil stated that she agreed with Councilman Graves, that if some of
these main problems are not taken care of at this time, then the City will
fall further behind on this program.
On motion of Councilman Shipsey, seconded by Councilman Graves, the follow-
ing Ordinance was introduced:
ORDINANCE NO. 235 (1962 Series) "An Ordinance levying a tax for the current
fiscal year 1962 -63 upon all taxable property within the City of San Luis
Obispo, and fixing the rate of such tax."

Maria and they'urged him not to let the Santa Maria Cab Company into San Luis

22. At this time the City Council received a report from the Building Inspector re-
garding violation of the Uniform Building Code in the Lakewood and Ann Arbor
subdivisions regarding the nailing of composition strip shingles.
The shingle was presently being nailed with four nails where the Uniform Building
Code required 6, and the Building Inspector has so informed the contractor and
the contractor is appealing on the basis of a hardship in-that he bid this job
based on 4 nails per shingle strip.
Mr. Bosanko, representing Pabco Roof Company, appeared before the City Council
on behalf of the contractor stating that as San Luis Obispo is not considered a
windy area.they should not be required to use 6 nails on asphalt shingles, and
4 nails would be sufficient and requested that the roofing contractor be allowed
to use 4 nails per shingle strip, as it would cost him $8.00 extra per house and
it would be a financial hardship and asked the Council for relief on this issue.
Councilman Graves stated that he would agree to allow 4 nails on the houses al-
ready completed if the manufacturer or contractor would file a bond with the
City protecting home owners for 15 years.
Councilman Miller stated that he personaliy investigated this matter and that
in addition to the Lakewood Subdivision, Laguna Lake subdivision and the first
Ann Arbor tract has had four nails in the.shingles.

Board of Appeals in order for them to study this matter and make . recommendation
to theCity Council for possible change.
Councilman Miller.stated that he objected to .the Bu.ilding_Department allowing

project as in the present situation. He believes that when a change is to be
made on construction the contractor should be notified that from a certain date
newly discovered conditions of the code would be enforced.
Councilman Shipsey stated that he feels that provisions of the code should be
enforced and if the City Council wished to refer to any Board or group okay, but
the code should be enforced.
On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Shipsey that four
nails can be used in this subdivision under the following conditions:
a. Add extra two nails to comply with the Code.

owners for 15 years.

26. Traffic Committee report of August 8, 1962.
62 -8 -1C. Reviewing the original request. for a No Parking zone on Peach Street,
the Traffic Committee feels that some relief is needed for two specific locations.
We feel that approximately 70 feet of red zone on the south side of Peach Street
extending in an easterly direction from the we property Line of 1313.Peach
Street would be very helpful. The 70 feet indicated would include a large drive-
way ramp which would not be painted red but would have the.same effect.
Recommendation accepted on motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman
Graves.
62 -8 -2T. The Traffic Committee feels that a directional sign.reading "Cal Poly"
with a right arrow would be helpful to out of town motorists at the northeast
' corner of Loomis and Grand, and so recommends.
Recommendation accepted on motion of Councilman Shipsey, seconded by Councilman
Graves.
62 -8 -3T. The Traffic Committee recommends that the motel directional sign at the
southeast corner of Monterey and Santa Rosa be repainted to include an arrow point-
ing toward the motels north of the freeway as well as those on the upper end of
Monterey Street. This is at the request of 7 motel owners in the northern part
of the City.
Recommendation accepted on'the motion of Councilman Shipsey, seconded by Council-
man Graves.
62 -8 -4T. For some time, it has been felt that elimination of one remaining parking
meter space on the east side of Chorro just south of Marsh, in front of the Riley's
parking lot would facilitate right hand turning movements onto Marsh, and the
Traffic Committee recommends that this metered space be eliminated and a red zone
substituted.
Recommendation accepted on motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilwoman
McNeil.
62 -8 -5C. On Dr. Rundert's request for some time limit parking in the Santa Rosa -
PacifitnStreeti.area, it is recommended that a zone be installed on Santa Rosa from

Holidays Excepted."
