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. C 1 1 City Council Minutes Tuesday, June 29, 1982 - 7:00 p.m. Page 2 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.
