Council in support of his request to extend the existing solid -waste disposal
contract for an additional 7- years. He stated the reason for the request was
in order to be able to extend capital expenditures over a longer period of time

spring clean -up week as has been done in the past.

could be written to clear.up any questionable areas. Felt the San Luis Garbage

approve a new contract.

done because the City did the collection of their fees. He did not agree with
competitive bidding procedures. He did feel that a new contract should be
drawn up with increases in fees for the city's services.

citizens. He felt our City was getting good service for low fees. He felt that
if contract was extended, the City should get some concessions for this extension.

in any contract extension. He also felt the provisions for recycling must be
included in the new contract.

Council consideration of a one -half reduction in the monthly sewer charges
if Model Linen participated on a one -half basis for the installation of a new
8" sewer line on South Street. (Continued from the April Council meeting).
Richard Harris, Attorney, stated that it was his understanding that the new
8" sewer line would only serve the Model Linen Supply and if the City would
agree, then the laundry would agree to pay one -half the cost. But he felt .
that if the private property owner was expected to pay half the cost, that some
adjustment should be made so that the property owner could recoup some of the
cost with reduced sewer rates.
David F. Romero, Public Services Director, stated that he was not empowered to
negotiate with the property owners on anything except a 50 -50 sharing basis for
the cost of the line but he stated in his opinion, granting a special rate to
anyone would set a very dangerous precedent and would probably be in violation
of EPA Guidelines. Therefore, he recommended that the City Council reject the
Model Linen Supplies offer.

Development regarding a rough draft of the revised street widening policy which
would replace Resolution No. 2597 (1974 Series) which was considered for appeal
on May 5, 1976.
The major changes being considered were_
1) That the spirit of zoning ordinances and regulations were to restrict
rather than increase nonconforming uses of land, structures and parcels
and to secure their long -term orderly elimination. Nonconforming
conditions may be maintained, however, in accordance with zoning
provisions.
2) If a nonconforming use, building o: parcel is being created or increased
because of street widening projects, the current property owners shall
be advised by mail no later than the commencement of negotiations by
the purchasing entity as to the degree of nonconformity that would be
incurred as a result of the project.
3) It shall be City policy to review and evaluate upon application by the
owner, on an individual basis, any requests for approval of variances,
use permits, rezonings, or changes in property development standards
which might relieve or reduce the nonconforming conditions arising in
whole or in part from a street widening project.
4) It shall be City policy that all signing conform to the Sign Ordinance.
The balance of the conditions, Rob Strong stated, were similar to that presently
existing in the various city ordinances. .
After discussion by the Council, it was moved by Councilman Norris, seconded by
Councilman Petterson, that the matter be referred back to the staff for preparation
of final resolution for implementation. Motion carried.

10. Memorandum from Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, asking Council's consideration
of Resolution No. 2656 (1976 Series), a resolution initiating abandonment.proceed -
ings for portions of Sierra Way, George Street and Iris Street. 1
Wayne Peterson, City Engineer, stated that the staff had checked and approved
the final map required for the reversion of acreage of the properties at the
end of George and Iris Streets and also reviewed and approved methods of providing
turn - around area at the end of each of these streets as required in the Council
Resolution.
Wayne Peterson continued that the applicant's engineer indicated that it would
take approximately one -month to get signatures on the final map, and that as of
this date these signatures had not been obtained.
Mr. Charles French, developer, stated that some of the trust deed holders did
not wish to sign the map and fie did not plan on doing any improvements until
the signatures were obtained.
Wayne Peterson felt that the Council had to make one of the following decisions:
1) Require that the fill materials placed on the streets be removed and
the streets be put back to grade thereby negating the necessity for a
reversion to acreage map.
2) The City could file notice of nuisance and notify each of the owners
of record, including the trustees, this may have the effect of
encouraging them to recognize the need to sign the map, or
3) The City could leave things as they are and drop the requirements
of the reversion to acreage and the requirements for providing a
turn around at the ends of the ded -end streets.
After discussion by the City Council, it was moved by Councilman Graham, seconded
by Councilman Gurnee, that the City staff take steps to revert the subdivision
to acreage if legally possible and attempt to require Charles French to install
the turn arounds. Motion carried.

and San Carlos Drive). He stated that the Revised Tract Map met the prior
objection of the Council by providing additional frontage on Lots 7, 8 and 9
to meet requirements of the subdivision ordinance. He continued that the approved
tentative map was conditioned that no grading would be allowed on the lots in the
tract. In reviewing the Final Map, the staff recognized the need to grade Lots 2
through 6 to allow tle building improvements to drain to the street. The final
grading plans indicated this type of grading. The staff also recommended that the
following statement be placed on the final map so:that potential purchasers would be
aware of the grading restrictions on the lots:
"Grading Note: No additional grading will be allowed on lots
except as shown on the approved grading plan on file at the City
Engineer's Office and as may be required under Building Foundation."

deposit will be released to the developer upon receipt by the City of

the excessive amount of grading required to put in the houses.

of the land for development of good custom homes.
Councilman Graham stated that due to lot problems that the recommended
"Grading Note" should be included on the Final Map.

well- versed in the technical aspects of transit operation repre-
senting their respective government agencies in approximate
proportion to the percentage of total county population. The
committee should direct the operation without distinction between in-
