City Council Minutes July 21, 1976 Page 2 On motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Graham, the City Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and the conditions listed except that the city would participate in the street tree planting. Motion carried, Councilman Gurnee absent. Councilman Norris left the meeting at 1:30 p.m. 13. R. Muravez, Director of Finance, presented for the Council's consideration, a review of proposals from three firms for preparation of a fixed asset inventory for the City of San Luis Obispo. After consideration of each firms presentation, it was the consensus of the committee to recommend acceptance of the Marshall and Stephens Proposal in the amount of $12,200.00 for the appraisal fee and $11,000.00 for the soft -ware license. Their appraisal service offered a more sophisticated approach to establishing useful life estimates by using a component life rather than a .composite life. This system of asset classification was on the basis of the Public Utilities Commission Uniform Accounting rather than a non - standard system. In addition, their computer system offered far more use of tools than the G.A.S. approach. Therefore, he recommended that the City Council approve the M.S. Appraisal System for the project. Mr. Muravez also remarked that the City Clerk- Treasurer, J.H. Fitzpatrick, approved the recommendation and urged the Council to proceed with the fixed asset inventory program. On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Petterson, the Marshall Stephens Proposal was accepted. Motion carried. 14. The City Council considered a memorandum from Paul Landell, Jr., requesting Council consideration of proposal for the Orcutt Road Grade Separation and notify- ing the Council that the Planning Commission has recommended that an E.I.R. Report be prepared on the subject property. After discussion with the City Administrative Officer and Paul Landell, the city staff was authorized to start screening consultants for the E.I.R. Report -- Department of Transportation personnel to be considered along with other consult- ants. 15. Memorandum from D.F. Romero, Director of Public Services, requesting that the City Council consider changes recommended by the Mass Transportation Committee in routes and hours of operation of the City Transit System. He stated that the M.T.C.'s recommendation would result in a change in the routes with an increase in weekly mileage of 145.6 miles at an increase in weekly cost of $116.50. However, it was the feeling of the M.T.C. that the improved service more than justified the increased cost. The implication of the Saturday, Sunday Thursday nights changes was a net decrease of 248 miles per week at a cost.saving of $198.40. It was the feeling of the M.T.C. that decreased service during the hours proposed resulted in little inconvenience to bus users since ridership during these hours is negligible. If the City Council were receptive to these changes, the staff can proceed with the recommendations for modification of bus stops, changes in graphics for September reprinting of the bus schedule, and proceed with permanent route signs to be installed along the route. On motion of Councilman Graham, seconded by Councilman Petterson, the recommendation of the Mass Transportation Committee was approved and ordered implemented. Motion carried. 16. On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Graham, plans and specifications for STREET RESURFACING PROJECT, City Plan No. 14 -77, cost estimate approximately $62,000 plus $8,060 for engineering and contingency costs were approved and the staff was authorized to call for bids. Motion carried. City Council Minutes July 21, 1976 Page 3 17. On motion of Mayor Schwartz, seconded by Councilman Craham, the plans and specifications for the WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT, Cross Town Feeder, Phase II, to install a 20" water line, tying the 20" line at Mill and Broad Street to an 18" line in Chorro Street at Foothill Blvd., cost estimate $353,000 plus contingency and engineering fees of $45,890 were approved and the staff was authorized to call for bids. 18. On-motion of Councilman Petterson, seconded by Councilman Graham, the City Council approved the agreement with Stone and Youngberg, Financial Consultants, to furnish service to the city in connection with the proposed Central Business District Improvements (parking lots). Motion carried. 19. Communication from Lee Schlobohm, Fire Chief, forwarding to the City Council an option to temporarily place a 12'x60' mobile home and a 22'x40' metal storage building on city -owned property at Madonna and Los Osos Valley Road in order to place a temporary fire facility at that location. It was his recommendation that the option be approved by the City Council so that bids could be advertised at the July 21, 1976, Noon meeting. He stated that the Public Services Department would assist with utilities, grading and other work needed to make the facility operational within 60 -90 days. It was the Administrative Officer Miller's estimate that the mobile home would cost $11,660, the metal.storage garage, $6,890 and if the Council wished to proceed they would have to add $11,000 to the budget as only $8,000 has currently been budgeted. Finally, the Administrative Officer felt that this building could be allowed eventhough it was in violation of city ordinance as a temporary emergency structure. The City Council decided that the Fire Chief was authorized to purchase a fire truck from Cal Poly for $1.00 and to investigate alternate types of structures for the station, namely a rustic type modular unit rather than the metal mobile home.with report to be returned to the City Council at the first opportunity. There being no further business to come before the City Council, the meeting adjourned to Monday, July 26, 1976. sV H. Fi zpatrick, City Clerk 1
