1982 -1983 PROPOSED BUDGET
Council held a public hearing to consider the 1982 -1983 proposed budget
Rudy Muravez, Finance Director, briefly summarized the budget update
highlighting those changes that the Council had made during study
sessions of the budget. He gave them a brief overview of the current
status of the City's financial affairs and what could be expected from
the State. It was still unclear as to what cuts were going to be made
with regard to subventions.and grants. He was requesting that following
the public hearing Council adopt three resolutions: 1) appropriating
funds for-the 82 -83 Operating Budget; 2) Approving the Capital Improve-
ment Program; and 3) approving Federal Revenue Sharing Funds allotment.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing open.
Mary Ann Vasconcellos, 657 Pismo Street and a member of the HRC, stated
the HRC had discussed the proposed $10,000 cut from their grants in aid
budget for this year and the Commission agreed to go along with whatever
the Council decided to do.
Mayor Billig proposed writing a letter to.the Human Relations Commission
encouraging development of.a policy statement to include: 1) An overall
policy relating to level of funding program; 2) types of organizations
HRC would propose and recommend to Council for funding; and 3) scheduling
for applicant; HRC hearings and recommendations to Council.
Councilman Griffin stated he could support a policy statement including
the three points as listed by Mayor Billig, however he wished.the
Commission to know that this was in no way a reflection of their current
handling of proposals. Further, he would like the policy statement to
be a recommendation from the HRC to the Council for formal adoption or
amendment.
Councilman Dunin agreed. He commended the HRC on the way they had
progressed and how they were presently handling grant applications.

Councilman Settle also agreed he could support the three points as
outlined by Mayor Billig and he also supported HRC's methods of handling
grant applications. He did not support a reduction of the grant program.
After brief discussion, and upon general consensus, the Mayor was
directed to write letter to HRC listing the three points as a part of a
future policy statement. (5 -0)
Frank Kanan, 1020 Pismo Street, was concerned that the swimming pool at
Sinsheimer Park is presently being used by special interest groups and
the user fee is not equitable considering 46% of the revenues are
provided by the public. He would prefer to see the pool hours extended,
especially during the winter months, as well as having access for the
handicapped to the pool.
Paul Lanspery, Administrative Officer, reminded the Council that the
user fee recommendation would be coming back to the Council and they
could look at it at that time to determine how self - supporting they
would want the pool to be.
Councilman Settle agreed that provisions should be made for the handi-
capped and more recreational use by the general public.
Mayor Billig explained that a therapy pool was being planned which would
help alleviate the problem for the handicapped but that to remodel the
pool to allow for handicapped would be extremely expensive and to try to
convert almost impossible at this point.
Councilman Griffin would be interested.in the Recreation Department and
the Commission addressing this problem as far as an overall swimming
pool program is concerned.
After brief discussion, and upon general consensus, staff directed to
review the swimming pool needs of the public versus special interest
groups, through the newsletter, and to develop an equitable fee structure.
(5 =0)
Mayor Billig then went through all exhibits on a page -by -page basis as
submitted by the Finance Director,.calling for public comment if any.
Catherine Owens, 1552 Madonna Road, was concerned that the Revenue
Sharing Funds did not earmark any.funds for human services.
Paul Lanspery, Administrative Officer, explained that the revenue
sharing funds were being used primarily.for one -time large expenditures
for the Capital Improvement Program and felt it would be more prudent to
take funds from the General Fund to provide for human services as the
Revenue Sharing Funds may no longer be forthcoming from the Feds.
Mayor Billig declared the public hearing closed.
