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." Introduced and passed to print on the following roll call vote: AYES: Miss Margaret McNeil, R. L. Graves, Jr., Donald Q. Miller, Gerald W. Shipsey NOES: Clay P. Davidson ABSENT: None 13.

At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of the Planning Commission for rezoning of the Martin Polin property on Foothill Boulevard and Broad Street. Mayor Davidson declared the public hearing open. Martin Polin appeared before the Council on behalf of the request for zoning change. Mr. Schwartz, Chairman of the Planning Commission, appeared before the City Council and stated that the Planning Commission had looked upon this rezoning as more of a consolidation of properties owned by Martin Polin than actually I adding C -1 area. On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Shipsey, the follow- ing Ordinance was introduced: ORDINANCE N0. 237 (1962 Series) "An Ordinance amending zoning map and fire zone map on property fronting on Foothill Boulevard."

At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the appeal of Morgan Flagg from a decision of the Planning Commission in denying the land use per- mit for a drive -in restaurant on his property located at 228 Santa Rosa Street and report of the Planning Commission was presented to the City Council. On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Miller that the I Resolution of the Planning Commission be upheld and the appeal denied. Motion carried. 16. Mr. Houser, City Attorney, presented for the Council's consideration, Ordi- nance No. 233. On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilwoman McNeil, that this matter.be tabled by the City Council and that the Council not make any changes in the present Ordinance. 1 L� I Councilman Miller stated that he had made a personal investigation of the Santa Maria Cab operations and was not impressed with that operation and further, he did not believe the Santa Maria Taxi Cab Company would be an asset to San Luis Obispo. He further stated that he interviewed many business people in Santa Maria and they'urged him not to let the Santa Maria Cab Company into San Luis Obispo as it is a sad operation and was not an asset to the City of Santa Maria. Mayor Davidson urged that the Ordinance be changed to allow additional cabs in the City so as to allow competition which would force both companies to give better service to the public. Councilman Shipsey stated that he agreed with the Mayor that the City Council should have the right to allow or not allow additional cab service in the City depending upon conditions at the time of consideration by the Council.

City Council discussed various alternatives for acquiring filtration plant site and for exchange of property in the future with Cal Poly. Mayor Davidson reported on the various meetings and discussions he had had with representatives of Cal Poly and stated that they were interested in bringing this matter to a close so that design of the plant could be begun. Mr. Thompson, Water Superintendent, reported to the City Council on work accomplishe to date for the proposed site which included all the surveys and preparation of plats so that design of the plant could be started as soon as the land is acquired. City Council discussed possible approach to get the lease approved by the college and city so that the plant design may proceed. It was the feeling of the Council that no work be done on the plant design until the City received the approved lease from Cal Poly. It was moved by Councilman Shipsey, seconded by Councilman Miller, that the City forward a copy of Resolution 975 to Cal Poly for their approval and urge that they begin processing the matter so that a lease may be. en- tered into as soon as possible urging all possible speed as the design of the plant is being help up pending approval of the lease.

Communication from San Luis Obispo City Schools forwarding three copies of Quitclaim Deed covering the property in the Laguna area for transfer to the City Schools sytem. Mr. Schwartz, Chairman of the Planning Commission, appeared before the City Council and urged consideration of future property exchange with the school board in order to re- acquire the 23 acres from the Laguna Lake property being granted to the school district at this time, as he believed that 23 acres is prime source of development in the overall Laguna Park and urged that the City Council purchase-equal acreage and exchange it with the school board in order to get Laguna Lake property back in City ownership. , Councilman Miller stated he agreed with Mr. Schwartz that this is a poor location for a junior high school. Mayor Davidson stated that he agreed that this exchange of property between the city and school board was poor for both the school board and city. He also urged the city to proceed iri full development of the Laguna Park and that the City Council consider a bond issue in order to get development in, all at one time. It was moved by Councilman Shipsey, seconded by Councilman Graves, that the Mayor be authorized to execute the deed and forward it to the City School Board subject to the check of description by the City Engineer. Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote: AYES: Miss Margaret McNeil, R."L. Graves, Jr., Gerald W. Shipsey, Clay P. Davidson NOES: Donald Q.

On motion-,.of Councilman Graves, seconded' by Councilman Miller that there be no new lease of Laguna Property after the present lease expires in 1962 until the City Council has decided what property is surplus to park development and after consideration -by the Park and.Recreation Commission. X. R. D:.Miller, Administrative Officer, presented a letter from Don S. Nelson, business manager from Cal Poly, stating -that inasmuch as the City has revised the water charge on July 1, 1962 and that the college was not excepted from this rate the college was asking the City to begin negotiations for anew contract whereby the City will process and deliver to the college water accumulated in the Whale Rock reservoir. On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Shipsey, the matter was referred to the Water Superintendent to make the necessary studies and recom- mendation of a new contract to the City Council. ' Mr. Houser, City Attorney, was asked to work with Mr. Thompson. R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, was requested to notify Cal Poly of the Council's action. Mayor Davidson suggested that when the contract or agreement is completed they should be informed that once they use Whale Rock water they would be giving up any rights to other City water. 21.

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. Mayor Davidson suggested that this matter be referred to the Building Construction 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 certain construction to proceed and then right in the middle of the project change 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. b. Cement tabs. c. Sign a bond by the contractor or manufacturers guaranteeting the owners for 15 years. Motion passed on the following roll call vote: AYES: Miss Margaret McNeil, R. L. Graves, Jr., Gerald W. Shipsey NOES: Donald Q. Miller, Clay P.

The City Council discussed the matter of traffic signals on Santa Rosa Street and either Mill or Palm and type of installation that could be placed at this intersection.

Referred to.the Traffic Committee for study. 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 Marsh to Pacific reading "Two Hour Parking, 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., Sundays and Holidays Excepted."
