Mayor Schwartz announced that the Southern California Chapter of the
American Institute of Planners had awarded a citizens participation award
to the City of San Luis Obispo for the development of Mission Plaza.
1. At this time the City Council considered the final adoption of
Ordinance No. 545, an ordinance amending the Official Zone Map of the
City of San Luis Obispo (to rezone property at 1425 Phillips Lane from
R -1 to R -H).
R. D. Young, Planning Director, reviewed for the Council's information
the property which was to be rezoned by this ordinance.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing open.
No one appeared for or against the rezoning.
Mayor Schwartz declared the public hearing closed..
On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Gurnee, the follow -
ign ordinance was introduced for final passage. ORDINANCE NO. 545, an
ordinance amending the Official Zone Map of the City of San Luis Obispo.
Finally passed on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Emmons Blake, John C. Brown, Myron Graham,
T. Keith Gurnee, Kenneth E. Schwartz
NOES: None
ABSENT.: None.
2. The City Council considered the adoption of an ordinance amending
Article II, Chapter 4, Part 3 of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code,
entitled, "Civil Defense and Disaster ", and providing a plan for the
protection of persons and property in the event of an emergency.
A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, briefed the provisions of the proposed
ordinance and stated that it was actually an amendment.and rewrite of
several sections of the existing .code to up -date the disaster ordinance
in accordance with recommendations of the Deputy Director of Civil
Defense. He continued that it was primarily an up- dating of existing
provisions.
On.motion of Councilman Brown, seconded by Councilman Graham, the
following ordinance was introduced. ORDINANCE NO. 546, an ordinance of
the City of San Luis Obispo amending Article II, Chapter 4, Part 3 of
the San LuisObispo Municipal Code, entitled Civil Defense and Disaster,
and providing a plan for the protection of persons and property in the
event of an emergency.

T. Keith Gurnee, Kenneth E. Schwartz
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
3. The City Council considered the request of the Park and Recre-
ation Department for guidance in granting permits for use of City parks
by large groups. The Central Coast Free University had requested the
use of Santa Rosa Park for Sunday, April 9, 1972, but due to the number
of complaints received by the City the last time Santa Rosa Park was
used by this organization, the Police Department refused to grant the
permit and the Park and Recreation Department needed guidance for
City Council. Minutes

Page 5
the establishment of conditions that would meet City requirements.
E. L. Rodgers, Police Chief, submitted for the Council's information,
copies of complaints received by the Police Department during the last
gathering held by the Free University at Santa Rosa Park. He stated
the main complaint seemed to be the loud amplified rock type music
that went on for the entire afternoon at the park and disturbed the
adjacent neighbors.
The Council received a communication. from Ruth Wirshup, chairman of the
T.G.I.F. subcommittee of the Human Relations Commissi.on,.requesting
that before the City Council took any action on the use of City parks
by large groups, that this subcommittee.be given some time to meet with
the affected City Departments and make some recommendations to the
City Council.
A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, stated he felt the matter before the City
Council was for the establishment of guidelines or guidance on con-
ditions for a policy on use of parks by large groups.
W. Flory, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated his department was
looking for guidance from the City Council on the use of City parks
for large gatherings.
E. L. Rodgers, Police Chief, again stated the major problem was the
loud amplified music that went on for hours and actually ran some of
the people in the neighborhood out of their homes.
Norman Stone, Central Coast Free University, stated that the function
of the Free University was not strictly social but they organized
these gatherings for such purposes as voter registration, signing of
initiative petitions and other ways of getting people involved in the
governmental, processes. He continued that the Free University
attempted to use public.parks in order to get people together in a
friendly atmosphere to take part in the political activities of the
Free University. He stated that at no time were alcoholic beverages
given away or sold, they charged no fees for participation and the
bands played at no charge to the participants.
Peter Vincent, Free University, Chairman of the Legalize Marijuana
Initiative and the Peace and Freedom Organization, stated he had
organized at least thirty functions in San Luis Obispo since 1965/66 .
and that at no time had he experienced any trouble until they started
trying to get signers on the marijuana initiative petition. Since
then they have had nothing but problems while using City parks. He
stated that the young people were only asking to use a City park one
day per month and not on a weekly basis, but that regardless of past
problems, as the organizer.of these functions, he.would like to work
out a compromise with the City on the use of the amplified music so
their groups could still function amicably. He suggested possibly
using amplified rock music from 2:00 to 5:00 and that folk -style music
be used during the other periods.
A. Kassebaum, Free University, informed the City Council he formerly
lived adjacent to Santa Rosa Park and he was annoyed night after night
by the loud noises generated by the night baseball and softball games,
but he had never complained to the police as he felt each person should
tolerate his neighbor's enjoyment.
Donald Q. Miller felt that the action under discussion by the City
Council was discriminatory against a small segment of the City's popu-
lation, particularly the young and he hoped that some compromise could
be worked.out to allow the use of.City parks by the Free University.
Councilman Blake, felt that the citizens in the area had put up with
enough noise and he felt that a compromise should be on the Free
University to come up with a plan to avoid future complications. He
felt he could not support a permit at this time to continue the abuse
to the neighbors of Santa Rosa Park.

Norman Stone felt his group had always attempted to live up to whatever
rules were established by the City for a gathering in the park and he
wished to remind the Council that while the City Police received three
or four complaints, the Free University group had over 200 people taking
part in their rally and that they too were citizens of the community
and would like to be treated as such by the City Council.
Councilman Gurnee- =felt that the parks were for the use of the citizens of
the City and that the City Council should not try to legislate this
activity and that he would support a permit for the April 9 gathering.
Councilman-Brown-felt this activity had been getting out of hand but it
seemed to him that the representatives of the Free University were respon-
sible people and he felt a permit could be granted if conditions could be
established limiting the times of the amplified music.
Councilman Graham agreed that the Free University representatives had
shown a reasonable approach to the problem and felt that a permit with
conditions established jointly by the Council and the Free University
could be granted.
Mayor Schwartz stated he had personally received a great number of com-
plaints from people regarding the activities at Santa Rosa Park by the
Free University, especially the loud music going on during their rallies.
He stated he had investigated and had to agree that after a period of
time the music which was loud and constant became unbearable to a person
who was not used to that type of music. He felt he could go along with
granting a permit to the Free,Un.1versity subject to some control such as
suggested by the Free University representatives, such as folk music
from 12:00 - 2:00 and 4:00 - 6:00 with rock music from 2:00 - 4:00 or
something in that magnitude. He_ favored some solution that would break
up the constant amplified music.
' On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Gurnee, the City
Council ordered the issuance of a permit to the Free University for.use
of Santa Rosa Park on April 9 from 1.2:00 Noon to 6:00 P: M. with folk
music from 12:00 to 2:00 and 5:00 to 6:00, with amplified music only
between 2:00 and 5:00 P. M. Motion carried with Councilman Blake
voting no.
4. A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, presented a problem which had arisen
involving City participation in the present undergrounding of utilities
in downtown San Luis Obispo. He stated there were two problems: the
first involved the undergrounding of wiring for the street lights and
the second was the undergrounding of the wiring for the fire alarm
system.
It seemed that the contract had been awarded by the utility companies,
P. P. & E:, Pacific Telephone and Central California Communications
Corporation. The City Attorney felt that the City should get the pro-
cedural documents in order that the project could proceed. He explained
that the City actually had a contractual arrangement with P. G..& E. to
supply street lighting in the City of San Luis Obispo and that under
this contract they came under the rules and regulations of the State
Public Utilities Commission and the contract was awarded under those
rules. He felt that this portion of the contract could be allowed once
the bids were received by the utility companies had been reviewed to see
if they were in order so the City could participate in this expenditure.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, explained that he had agreed with the utility
companies at an early stage that the cost of street lighting should be
calculated on the same basis that other utilities had agreed to share the
costs: This basis called for each utility to pay a direct proportionate
share of each shared trench. Mr. Romero stated that he did not feel that
the City could solicit bids for this work since it is part of a joint
venture with all utilities to be installed in a joint trench. Mr. Romero
explained that he had written a purchase order for $31,899 to P. G. & E.
which has the sole contract for supplying power and lighting service to
the City.
City Council-Minutes
March 20, 1972
Page 7
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Graham,. the follow-
ing resolution was introduced. RESOLUTION NO. 2285, a resolution of the
City of San Luis Obispo authorizing payment of City's share of costs in
undergrounding utilities in the downtown area.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Emmons Blake, John C. Brown, Myron Graham,
T. Keith Gurnee, Kenneth E. Schwartz
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, then reviewed the problem involved in the under-
grounding of the fire alarm system where a purchase order had been issued
by the Fire Department for the work which was in violation of the City
Charter which required formal bids on all projects of $2,000 or'more.
He continued that the difference between the street lighting and the fire
alarm system was that the street lighting was under PUC control and a
contractual arrangement with P. G. & E, but installation of the fire
alarm system was the sole responsibility of the City of San Luis Obispo.
He recommended that the City immediately call for bids for installation
of the fire alarm system lines, not including ditching which would be
done in cooperation with the other utilities.
B. Hoffman, P. G. & E., informed the City Council that 12 separate
contractors had submitted bids on the undergrounding for the downtown
San Luis Obispo area. He stated this was done under normal bid practice
and he felt the contract awarded was the most advantageous to all
parties involved. He agreed that at no time was the City involved in
calling for bids, reviewing them, etc. '
On motion of Councilman Blake, seconded by Councilman Graham, the follow-
ing resolution was introduced. RESOLUTION NO. 2283; a resolution of the
Council of the City of San Luis Obispo authorizing solicitation of bids
for the undergrounding of the fire alarm system.
Passed and adopted on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Emmons Blake, John C. Brown, Myron Graham,
T. Keith Gurnee, Kenneth E. Schwartz
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
Councilman Blake wondered if there would be any advantage to eliminating
the existing fire alarm system particularly in view of the fact that most
people have telephones and he wondered if this cost could be eliminated
Chief Schlobohm explained that this was a requirement of the underwriters
and that if this were phased out, the City's insurance rates would change.
5. Rabbi E. L. Weiss, Chairman of the San Luis Obispo Grass Roots
Center appeared before the City Council stating that the Grass Roots
Agency, which had been the major source of direct services to the needy
underprivileged and low income citizens of the City, was being phased
out by the County office as of March 31, 1972.
Rabbi Weiss continued that many concerned people in the area felt
strongly that the Grass Roots type activity should be continued to
serve the needs of our citizens. He felt that a City wide drive to
develop a community center to provide such help as nursery care, sewing,
metal shop, and garage training, emergency medical assistance, counsel-
ling, recreation, etc., should be continued. He stated that a new
organization, calling itself "Grass Roots Two" was being organized
within the community to carry on this worthwhile work.
City Council Minutes
March 20, 1972
Page 8
The new organization would be incorporated as a no.n- profit corporation
with funds to be from popular subscription. He explained that the pre-
sent Grass Roots Center had been operated on a budget of about $7000
per year and he asked the City Council for a grant or contribution of
$3500, for six months operation or until incorporation was completed
and donations came in. He emphasized that this problem was of an
emergency nature as they had just received the final word that they
were to phase out as of March 31, -1972.
Mrs. Maxine Lewis, Grassroots Center Aide, spoke
supporting the Grass Roots Program, particularly
emergency nature of the current problem of being
less than two weeks. She asked the City Council
Grass Roots organization which provided service

Mrs. Lewis then reviewed for the City Council the types of activity
carried on by the local Grass Roots Agency. She felt there was no
place else for the poor, underprivileged and minorities to get help.
She continued that the Grass Roots organization was more successful
than the other social help organizations because of the feel for the
poor, as they were poor themselves. She also wanted the Council to
understand that over 95% of the people helped were residents, voters
and citizens of the City of San Luis Obispo.
Rabbi Weiss again stated that the City government had a responsibility
to the poor and underprivileged citizens of the City.
Councilman Brown stated he was in favor of the Grass Roots type of
service but questioned whether the City should assume all the operating
costs as he felt this had been a. County support function. He suggested
that the City and County should get together and see if they could both
wdr.k. out some support but even then the City might help for six months.
Councilman Graham agreed that the City should contact the County
government for some consideration in continuing the Grass Roots Center
but he did not know if the City could just give out funds without any
program or budget being presented.
Councilman Gurnee stated he felt the funds were needed now that this
was a good program for the people in San Luis Obispo and he felt that
the City government should support continuation of this service through
Grass Roots as he felt the Center provided services that the City could
not afford to leave unoffered. He felt the City Council should support
this appeal and also urged that local service groups and individuals
support the local Grass, Roots office. He felt the City Council should.
support the center for six months in order to keep the program moving
along.
Councilman Blake agreed that help was needed to keep the Grass Roots
Center open and the program viable and he also agreed the City could
not refer this request to the usual budget study sessions due to the
time element in phasing out the program. He:felt that the City should
look into why the Grass Roots organization was being phased out by the
County EOC before taking any action. He felt this was a Federal- State-
County financed program which was-now being turned over to the City for
1 operation and he was afraid that.thi.s was the first step in developing
a City welfare department using.Ci,ty funds. He concluded saying he
would do all he could to help Maxine Lewis to do a good job for the
citizens of our community. He felt that using City funds for this
purpose was a better expenditure of.funds than some of the other pro-
grams the City was involved with. He also did not feel that helping
Grass Roots was initiating a: welfare department for the - City.,
Mayor Schwartz felt that the City Council had not been prepared this
evening to hear an appeal for public funds to support the continuation
of the Grass Roots operation. He was fearful that if the City were to
give funds to this program without an analysis of the budget and pro-
grams, it would be most difficult for.the City to extricate itself
City Council Minutes
March 20, 1972
Page 9
from this support in the future. He continued that he felt the Council
should get together with the Board of Supervisors and see if the City
and County could support a Grass Roots program in the City acid possibly
in other "parts of the County." He did feel the City could allocate
interim .funds for the continuation of the program at the City level.
Councilman Blake wondered if it would serve any purpose to contact the 1
San Francisco office of Economic Opportunity to see if they could re
instate the Grassroots program due to its fine service in San Luis
Obispo.
Carl Wallace, EOC commissioner, spoke in support of continuing the
Grass Roots operation in San Luis Obispo as he felt it was everyone's
responsibility to see that every citizen had a decent place to live
and received whatever services-were needed for their support. He felt
it was the City Council's responsibility to fund this program to help
the underprivileged and the minority people of the community..
Rabbi Weiss appealed to the City Council for funds to carry on the
services to the poor within the City throught the Grass Roots Two
operation. He, too, "felt the City had a responsibility to the poor and
to underprivileged as well as-to the business community. He concluded
saying this was an emergency situation; help,;was needed now, and that
as chairman of the Grass Roots organization, he was only asking for
interim help and did not plan to come back month after month for
fi "nancial help.
On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Gurnee, the follow-
ing resolution was introduced. RESOLUTION NO. 2284, a resolution.of the
Council of San Luis Obispo increasing the 1971772 Budget. The City
Council as a result of an appeal from the Grass Roots office would
grant on an interim basis $600 per month to support the program within
the City. Grant to be paid on a monthly invoice subject to the execution
of an agreement between the City and Grass Roots.

L. D. Fuller - appeared before the City Council and spoke in favor of the
City Council taking action to annex this road to the City so that the
Danley property could be properly developed and someone would assume
responsibility for maintenance of the bridge over this county road.
The matter was continued for further information from Mr. Fuller's
attorney relative to ownership or rights to the bridge.

7. D. F. Romero, City Engineer, reported to the City Council that
Tract 403 and 410, Teakwood Terrace, had been substantially completed
and could be accepted by the City for maintenance. The only items left
undone were the chip seal coats on all streets and clean -up of sidewalks
in both tracts. He stated the developer had filed.a $2,500 bond
guaranteeing the seal coat to be placed when the weather was warmer and
' a $500 bond for the subdivision clean -up.

ing resolution was introduced. RESOLUTION NO. 2287,' a resolution

8.. R. D. Young, Planning Director, presented estimates on the cost
of signs to be placed at the City entrances and at City parking lots and
parks as prepared by the Design Review Board. The estimated cost of
materials was $90 each with approximatley the same amount for labor.
The City Council discussed the proposed signs and accepted the Design
Review Board's recommendation to adopt these as official City signs.
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Graham, that
' bids be called for preparation of six signs to be built for one entrance
to the City at California Boulevard, a sign for Laguna Lake Park, and
for five parking lot signs to be placed at Lots 3, .6 and 10. Motion
carried.
9. The minutes of the Design Review Board meeting of March 7, 1972
were ordered received and filed with recommendation #4 for painting the
Fire Department Headquarters referred to a conference composed of the
chairman of the Design Review Board, the architect, and the Fire Chief
to decide on the final coat of paint at the new fire station.
Councilman Graham reported to the City Council on his meeting with
representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, Design Review Board and
Motel -Hotel Association and stated it was a consensus of the committee
that only two Chamber of Commerce signs be left up in downtown San Luis
Obispo and that all motel signs in the downtown area be removed. He_
so recommended to the City Council.
The City Council accepted this recommendation and thanked Councilman
Graham for his work on this matter.
10. Councilman Gurnee presented a revised draft of the City position
' paper on the Council action taken on the Lopez Wilderness Area.
The City Council reviewed the various points of the position paper with
Councilman Gurnee and congratulated him on a job well done.

Cranston and Tunney, and Congressman Talcott. Motion carried.

11. Councilman Gurnee spoke to the Council regarding a moratorium
on the proliferation of service. station construction. He realized the
term moratorium was unpalatable to the City Council so he suggested
the consideration of an ordinance which would restrict the numbers,
locations, and appearance of future stations. He continued that he had
contacted a number of cities throughout the country that had such
ordinance controlling service station development. '
Some of the suggestions for control were; (1) establishment of a
station per population ratio (probably 1000 persons for each service
station); (2) require the service station applicants to prove there was
an economic need for the service station; (3) require that a service
station building left vacant for more than ninety (90) days lose its
permit and have to be physically removed from the property; (4) limit
the number of service stations at intersections; (5) limit the number
of service stations on the same street and have a minimum distance
between stations; (6) increase the conditions for the size of the
building, appearance, signs and require more landscaping.
Councilman Gurnee requested that the City Attorney be asked to look
into possibly preparing a sample ordinance for the Council's consideration.
A. J. Shaw, City Attorney, was asked to work with Councilman Gurnee to
prepare a proposal for consideration by the City Council.
12. Council consideration of pending legislation which would affect
the City of San Luis Obispo was continued.
13. Review of the Council work program was continued. '
14. The City Council considered the request of Dan Oxford, Paragon
Homes, Inc. for City sewer and water services to property outside the
City limits on Southwood Drive. He stated he was planning to build a
single family dwelling and needed these utilities.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, explained that the proposed property was
presently outside theCity and consisted of two parcels approximatley
totaling 37 acres in size and that the majority of the property was
above the 460' elevation which would require ;private pumping in order
to serve the building sites with water. He stated that the property
under discussion had several large areas that could be further
developed if utilities were made available.
D. Oxford spoke to the City Council and stated he did not intend to
annex to the City at this time but would be willing to pay the neces-
sary fees for sewer and water service and would provide his own
facilities to serve the property above the 460' elevation.
Councilman Brown felt if a portion of the property would be developed,
not necessaryily the entire parcel should be annexed before the City
services were granted.
Councilman Gurnee stated there should be no utility service extended
outs.ide the City limits and in particular no water service above 460' ,
elevation in accordance with the recently re- enacted City policy on
water service.
On motion of Councilman Gurnee, seconded by Councilman Graham, that the
request of D. Oxford be denied._ Motion carried.
15. The City Council adjourned to executive session.
