On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Gallagher, claims against the

Administrative Officer.
1. Mr. George Wofford, Assistant District Engineer, District V, Division of Highways,
appeared before the City Council and explained the procedures followed by the State
of California in adopting freeway routes in the State.
He then explained the scope of the studies -being conducted by his District for
improvements to Highway 101 between San Luis Obispo and the Santa Margarita Inter-
change.
He stated that the action of the Council would be to approve or disapprove one of
the recommended routes, or they could take no action, or they could recommend that
additional studies be made on new proposals consistent with the general theme of the
realignment.
Henry Case; District Advance Planning and Location Engineer, Division of Highways,
explained the extent of the studies made to date by the Division of Highways in
arriving at the two recommended alternate routes being proposed by the Division of
Highways:
Mr. Case explained geological studies that have been made and alternate proposals
of placing a tunnel through the grade rather than building a highway as proposed.
He stated the tunnel idea was dropped due to the extreme cost involved.
He also presented for the Council's information a chart showing the project
programming schedule, showing the time elapsed from inception of a proposed route .
study through the required hearings; design of the project, acquisition of property
and construction which for a large project as this Highway 101 takes a total of
about nine years.
Enrico Bongio questioned the feasibility of the routes presently under discussion
by the Division of Highways and felt that other more practical routes for future
development should be studied.
G. Wofford, stated upon question, that he did.not feel that any phase;of the
proposed work would start for at least ten years.
H. Miossi, property owner, objected to the route being proposed by the Division of
Highways as he feels that the proposal will scar and destroy a very beautiful area
and downgrade the beautiful entrance to the City of San Luis Obispo from the north.
He felt that this matter should be continued until more adequate studies are made
as he feels that the proposed results are not commensurate with the estimated cost
involved.
He then presented colored pictures showing the existing conditions in the valley
that would be covered by the proposed highway construction. He recommended that no
action be taken on adopting a route until the existing work now being done on the
Cuesta Grade has been completed and its effect on traffic studied.

Klaus Heilman, Atascadero, stated that the County Highway Committee is studying.
this proposed route over the grade and that they are very interested in the accident
totals presented by the Division of Highways and that they are extremely interested
in this figure in relation to accidents throughout the County on State Highways.
Enrico Bongio urged that the Highway Department run this highway through a tunnel
'as is —done in Europe in order to save the hills.
Mayor Whelchel suggested that there appeared to him to be enough width available
on the existing Cuesta Highway and he wondered why a third lane could not be added
for certain stretches on the upgrade side in order to allow slow trucks to have
their own lane to allow cars to pass safely.
Councilman Donald Q. Miller asked if the City Council could see the geological
reports that stated the soil on the east side of the grade was unstable thus
requiring construction of the new highway in the valley. He felt that these
geological studies should be looked at very carefully as he felt that they were of
great importance before any decisions could be made on route selection.
He also stated that the matter of water runoff from the canyon through the City of
San Luis Obispo should be settled before any route change is approved. He continued
that he was opposed to the two proposed routes as presented by the-Division of
Highways.
H. Case, Engineer at the Division of Highways, stated that the geological reports
are available for Council information. -
The City Council then discussed with highway representatives the best approach to
consider additional alternate routes to the proposals submitted by the State Engineers.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, suggested that one alternate that could be studied
would be to keep one direction of traffic on the present Cuesta Highway and that a
low level route using a tunnel be constructed for south bound traffic. Even though
j this might prove more costly, many of the objections could be overcome by this
alternate.
H. Case stated that the District Headquarters could do this as much of the basic
information is available and it would take 30 -60 days to prepare such a report. He
stated he would notify the City Council when this would be available for presentation.
The matter of Highway 101 improvement between San Luis Obispo and the Santa Margarita
Interchange was continued.
3. At this time the City Council held a public hearing on the Resolution No. 1771,
a resolution of intention to annex territory known as the Touchstone Annexation to
the City of San Luis Obispo.
The City Clerk read a petition from Dominica B. Touchstone, A. J. Smith and M. K.
Smith, property owners of the-land within the proposed annexation, stating that they
requested annexation to the City and further that after annexation their land would
be subject equally with property in the City of San Luis Obispo to pay the bonded
indebtedness of said City.
Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing open.
No one appeared before the City Council.
Mayor Whelchel declared the public hearing closed.
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Miller, the following'ordinance
was introduced. Ordinance No. 404, an ordinance of the City of San Luis Obispo
approving the annexation to said City of certain uninhabited-territory designated
"Touchstone Annexation ".
Introduced and-passed to print on the following roll call vote:

2. Councilman Emmons Blake reported to the City Council on the recommendation of
the Joint City Chamber of Commerce Committee for the hiring of an advertising
agency to handle City advertising for the six month period ending June 30, 1968.
He stated that on Friday, January 12, 1968 the Committee met and heard presentations
from three advertising agencies: .(Q.Yambert- Freeman, (2) Morgan- O'Daniels, and
(3) Chace Advertising Agency.
Councilman Blake briefed the proposal and program of this firm.
Councilman Donald Q. Miller,--member of the Committee, presented the following minority
report opposing the hiring of Yambert- Freeman Agency. .
Subject: Evaluation of an advertising agency to be hired by the City of San Luis
Obispo for a fee amounting to $17,500..
Interview held in City Chamber conference room Friday, January 12, 1968.
YAMBERT /FREEMAN Three gentlemen from this firm presented their proposal.
Presentation: Sophisticated with polish and suaveness dominated. All spoke to
members of committee- -which they had never met until the meeting - -first name only.
Material which was part of the presentation attractively prepared. It appeared to
me to glitter with such perfection that I questioned to myself the validity of what
was being presented.
Follows their program:
1. Newspaper advertising in major Southern California papers. Los Angeles Times,
specifically mentioned -- Oregon and Washington papers too. Nothing indicated for
the Valley papers (San Joaquin). Mid -west and one eastern paper would be allocated
three ads. To be placed in special issues.
2. Prepared news releases to appear as date lined news stories. In the trade this
is called "boiler plate." They indicated tactfully their agency had friends on
editorial staffs.
3. Magazine ads in several western tourist_ publications.
4. Sample ad presented to the group. The big "0" ad as they called it. The "0"
in Obispo to be the theme to sell sunshine and clean air, etc..
5. Two or maybe four billboards would.be provided.
6. Detailed accounting of fees and the like may have been on a schedule which I
did not see in detail. Mention of allocation of money was not given. At least I
do not recall specifics on money.
Conclusion: This agency as mentioned gave a smooth, patronizing presentation. They
appeared qualified in the area of sounding like "big town lads." I thought they
were short on originality. Every Southern California city plays the "Sunshine
Game." As came out in the next presentation an ad for Ojai was a carbon copy of
what they had presented to us. The amount the City budgeted for advertising is small
(as I understand budgets are two or three times the amount we budgeted). To me,
$17,500 appears to be a lot of money for a City our size to give for advertising.
I therefore was of the opinion the Yambert /Freeman agency could have devoted
"creative.time" to the ad format.

O'DANIELS AND MORGAN These two gentlemen are "local ". I use local in quotes due to
Mr. Morgan being in the area six months.
Following is their presentation:
1. Newspaper advertising aimed at two major population areas - -Los Angeles and the
San Joaquin Valley. They were of the opinion this was our major markets.
2. Limited advertising in Sunset magazine.
3. No billboards - they were frank to admit there was not sufficient money.for
this media.
4. Local news service would prepare "boiler plate."
5. The presentation of the format of their ads was interesting. It proved to me
these gentlemen had devoted considerable time in designing original ads that would
catch the reader's eye. Their knowledge of the area -- especially Mr. O'Daniels --
in my view gave a freshness and newness to their ads. 'Mr. Morgan's design was
excellent.
Conclusion: These men had taken time to design ads. They played down the tried and
true sunshine and introduced the historical lore of the area tied to personalities
present and past. After all what makes travel fascinating scenery and sunshine?
It's part of travel, people are the main attraction. When we go on a trip the fun
is talking and visiting with other people. I liked the O'Daniels- Morgan presentation.
The boys were nervous. This is understandable, for they were the roll of the underdog.
They gave an accounting of their fee, and its allocation.
CHACE Two gentlemen were present. Their campaign was similar to the O'Daniels-
Morgan report. One addition: they included billboards. They were honest in
stating they did not know the market area. Thus they would run a quickie study by
checking motel registrations. Then place the ads accordingly. As I recall they
suggested some radio coverage.
Conclusion: They made an honest.and matter of fact presentation. Their budget
seemed to be within reason. One problem if it can be called a problem, is this firm
represents Santa Barbara and other Coastal:Cities. They did not present any ads or
format.
To sum up: I voted for the O'Daniels- Morgan group. They presented credentials
varifying they are an agency. These.gentlemen had a fresh approach. They had
taken time to make attractive ads that were different. Lastly they are local men,
they appeared to be competent. I would suggest giving the local men the contract.
Mr. Morgan, of Morgan- O'Daniels, appeared before the City Council on behalf of their
application to handle advertising for the City of San Luis Obispo.
Mr. Morgan being a relatively newcomer to the City of San .Luis Obispo listed his
qualifications in the job and his ability to handle the City's account.
Mr. O'Daniels, of O'Daniels- Morgan, then presented samples of the type of ads that
his firm proposes to use to attract tourists to the City of San Luis Obispo.
Mr. O'Daniels stated that of the $17,500 budgeted for advertising to June 30, 1968
all of the money budgeted except $950 would be used for advertising and promotion.
The $950 would be the fee for the advertising agency, art work, etc.
Mr. Morgan then added that in addition to advertising in the Los Angeles Times
and the Fresno papers, that they proposed to have advertising placed in the Sunset
and Westway magazines.
He continued that he and his partner had received additional 12,000 radio spots
advertising tourist activities in the Counties on Radio Stations KPRL, Paso Robles,
KOAG,.Arroyo Grande, and KVEC, San Luis Obispo.
He stated that these 12,000 radio spots equivalent to $29,000 other advertising
which would be handled for the City at no cost.

Councilman Arthur F. Spring excused himself from the meeting and deliberations on
this matter due to a possible conflict of interest.
Mayor Whelchel stated that due to the split between Council members on the-Advertising
Committee he would like to hear presentations for advertising programs.from
the other two applicants. He stated this was the reason he allowed Morgan- O'Danieis.

still valid and'felt that the City Council should go along with -their'recommendation.
He continued that the Committee's system would be very poor indeed if each action
had to be unanimous.
He stated he felt that these three•advertising firms were given a fair hearing by
the Committee and urged the City Council to go along with their recommendation.
Councilman Miller agreed that the other two advertising companies should be allowed
to make their presentation to the City Council just as has been done by Morgan -
.0'Daniels.

would be available to any agency handling advertising for the City of San Luis

requested that the City Council take down the concrete block wall adjacent to his

rear of the Old Coronet Store Building.

building but wished to take advantage of the Mission Mall patio with his new
enterprise.
Councilman Blake stated that the owner and tenants of the Mission Mall property
have no objection to the removal of the concrete block wall nor do they object to
display windows facing the patio. They do question the right of access from the
Warden property to the Mission Mall patio.
John Reid, San Luis Obispo National Bank representing Dr. Middleton, stated he
had no objection to the removal of the wall-but stated he objected to the encroach-
ment of additional access to the patio behind the Mission Mall as he was sure it
would interfere with the restaurant operation which is to be on the patio. He
stated he did not feel it was right and proper to require the removal of tables
from the patio area to allow access to adjacent property.
He continued that the patio area to be used by.the restaurant is quite small due to
the City requirement of an open access from Higuera to the rear. He-further
contended that all businesses facing the rear of Mission Plaza should face the
Creek and not adjacent uses.

operation and urged Council approval of the access from the Warden property to
the patio in the.rear`of the Mission Mall.

and.seal the common brick adjacent to the.Mission Mall to compliment the Middleton
development.
