At this time the City Council discussed the advisability -­of thd;- City "giving _. financial support to the proposed County wide Economic Development Commission. Mr. W.

The City Council then discussed the suggestion of taking away_ithe present contribu.- tion to the VUsitois "aind-`_Convention-'Committee of the local Chamber "and .allocating' these funds to the County Ecoaomic.Deve,lopment Commission for promotion of the County throughout the State. Mr. Newby stated that he wanted the Council to understand that in discussing the funding of the County Economic Development Program, that the local Chamber repre- sentatives did not wish to jeopardize the new expanded program proposed for the local Chamber of Commerce. Mr,.,R.:Brown, President of the Chamber of Commerce, stated that the local chamber urged the City Council to participate in the County wide Economic Development Group so that an adequate staff could be hired by the County to promote the economic development of the entire County. -1 I 1 1 City Council Minutes May 16, 1966 Page 2 Mayor Whelchel stated he wished again to remind everyone that if the Council were to go along with financial contribution to the County Economic Development Group, that he felt the City Council should withdraw the financial support from the Visitors and Convention Committee. Mr. R. Brown stated that the Chamber's Board of Directors understood this and hoped ' that under the new program sponsored by the City and the Chamber, that enough local enthusiasm would be generated to raise sufficient funds throughout the business districts to pay for the added secretary for the Chamber. Councilman Gallagher stated that he felt that the City through their own Chamber should develop an economic base for the City and not attempt to develop on such a large area as the County. He felt that due the area jealousies it would be very difficult to get the various communities in the County t_o work together and encour- age industrial growth. * ' • Councilman Miller stated that he felt the City should cooperate with the County wide approach to Economic Development as he felt that this type of promotion would-be successful. Further he stated that at the present time any inquiries for location of industrial plants come to the County, they are not referred to the Cities or other communities and sometime desirable industries do not receive follow up from areas within the County who have the facilities available for such development. Councilman Spring stated that he would be against the proposal for financing a County wide group due to the money involved and also he felt that a larger share should be contributed by the County as more than 25% of the County's tax base comes from within the City of San Luis Obispo. Councilman Gallagher stated again that he was opposed to this proposal as he feels he should support our own Economic Development Program which he feels is a big ' enough job at this time. Councilman Blake stated that he was for the County Economic Development Group as he felt that anything that developed in the County would ultimately develop and be good for the City of San Luis Obispo. Mayor Whelchel stated that he was for supporting the County Economic Development Group as he felt that if the City of San Luis Obispo does not take part, there would be no County Committee, and he felt that as the largest City in the County we should lead out for the good of all the County. The City Clerk presented a letter from the Chamber of Commerce signed by the Chair- man of the Retail Merchants Committee, President of the Chamber of Commerce, Chair- man of the Visitors and Convention Group, and Chairman of the City Economic Develop- ment Committee urging Council endorsement of the County wide Economic Development Committee proposal. On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Miller, that the City Council support the County Economic Development Committee Group up to $5,000 and that the support to the Visitors and Convention Committee be withdrawn. City participation subject to the condition that all Cities in the County take part. Motion carried. Councilman Gallagher and Councilman Spring voting no. X. Mr. D. R. Duckworth and Mr. Ken Gideon, representatives of the State Compensa- tion Insurance Fund, appeared before the City Council to present the City with a dividend check of $11,887.179 a refund of 38.5% of the City's Workman's Compensation Insurance Premium for the policy year which ended July 1, 1965. Mr. Duckworth stated that only 37 injuries were reported during the policy year and that all these claims have now been closed. He continued that the City of San Luis Obispo has improved its on the job accident record in recent years. He again congratulated the City Council on their good safety record and hoped that future dividend checks will be rendered to,the City. 6. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the recommendation of the Planning Commission to amend the C -1, C -3 and M Districts of the zoning ordinance ane add an M-R District to the zoning ordinance. Mr. Chapman, Planning Director, explained to the City Cbuncil the major changes City Council Minutes May 16, 1966 Page 3 being proposed by the Planning Commission after lengthy hearings with public parti- cipation. Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing open. There were no comments from the audience. Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed. , Councilman Gallagher ,suggested ,that the Council hold .a. study. session..vit. .. tb.p.,. .. Planning-Commission to go over the proposed charges to,•,the zoning ordinance.._ on motion of Councilman Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Miller, that the City Council meet in a joint study meeting with the Planning Commission on May 24, 1966 at 7 :30 P.M. to discuss the changes to the zoning ordinance, Motion carried. Mayor Whelchel ordered the public hearing continued to the June 6, 1966 meeting at 8:00 P.M. 5. At this time the City Council continued the public hearing on a request to reduce the width of Henderson Street between Abbott Street and Garfield Street from 70' to 56' and to abandon the surplus 14' to the adjacent properties. The following communication was received from L. G. Green: Gentlemen: I agree to install, within one year, curb, gutter, and sidewalk for the property owners on the west side of Henerson Street, directly across from my property (Lots 1, 2, and 3 of Block 38,.Phillips Syndicate - a distance of 90 front feet) in con- sideration for the abandonment of 14 feet of street along the east'side of Henderson. The following communication was received from Dr. Bruce Kennelly: ' Gentlemen: I agree to install, within one year, curb, gutter, and sidewalk for the property owners- on.the west side of Henderson Street, directly across-from-my.-property.-(Lots 4, 5,-6, 7, 8 and 9 of Block 38, Phillips Syndicate -'a distance of 180-.front-feet) in consideration for abandonment of 14'feet of street along the east side of Hender- son. This.proposal is an alternative to that of April 20, 1966 and.is made to coin- cide with the wishes of the other property owners: Dr. Kennelly appeared before the City Council and stated that he and Mr. Green had met with the property owners involved on the west side of Henderson Street and that they had agreed to the street abandonment with the surplus property to be abandoned on the east side .of Henderson Street. Mr. Houser, City Attorney, explained to the City Council that if the City declared a portion of the street surplus and not needed for street purposes, that there was no way that it could be conditioned that the abandonment would not take place unless the improvements were put in. He suggested the possibility of not abandoning any portion of the street until the improvements were placed or not record the abandon- ment until the improvements were placed. , Councilman Miller suggested that the City -enter into a contract with Mr. Green and Dr. Kennelly which would guarantee the placement of curb, gutter and sidewalk if and when the street is abandoned. Dr. Kennelly asked would it not be easier if he and Mr. Green deposited with the City the necessary funds and have the work done by the City. This was satisfactory with the City Counciland the City Engineer was to prepare cost estimates of the work for deposit of funds by the property owners-:• - On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Spring, the following resolu- tion was introduced. Resolution No. 1558, a resolution of intention to abandon a portion of.Henderson Street.

Dixon to instruct at the Junior College a Fire Science Program on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for eighteen weeks.

Mr. Houser reported that a map had been prepared of the proposed area to be annexed, that a tabulation of property owners and assessed valuations had been prepared and that the next step was to contact the property owners to see if a majority were interested in annexation. C. Mr. Romero, City Engineer, reported that the Engineering Department has prepared a sketch showing an alignment of the access road through the vacant property but that Mr. Mel McDonald had requested that the Engineering Department hold up on this as his organization is still negotiating with Mrs. Filipponi. it was the common consent of the Council that the staff proceed with the preliminary steps for annexation of property to the City of San Luis Obispo. 8.
