C O N S E N T AG E N D A
C -1 CREEK IMPROVEMENTS (File *597)
Consideration of an engineering study to explore construction of retention
dams in San Luis Creek upstream of the City (approx. cost 510.000).
Dave Romero, Public Works Director, briefly reviewed the staff report. He
stated Council last discussed this on March 3, 1987, not June 30 as
indicated in the report. Staff was recommending Council direct staff to
proceed with the engineering study.
Mayor Dunin asked for public comment.
Harold Miossi, resident living near North 101 Highway, was opposed to the
study. He felt that portions of the creek upstream could be damaged by a
retention dam which, in his opinion, would not prevent flooding. He said
this had been studied previously and did not feel the $10,000 would make a
significant difference. He stated that Clint Milne of the County
Engineering Department also supported his position.
:_Councilwoman Dovey stated she was not prepared to support the
recommendation unless new information had come forward since Council
previously discussed this item. She would like to see the previous
Council minutes and their reasons for not having supported it then.
Dave Romero, Public Works Director, stated that the Nolte Report done
several years ago and the Corps of Engineers studies did not go into any
depth with.regard to throttling retention dams. Because of the strong
feelings of the Land Conservancy he felt that this study had to be
conducted prior to going forward with revisions to the City Flood
Management Plan. Upon question, he stated he had not contacted Zone 9 for
partial funding of the study.
Councilman Settle stated he would like to see Zone 9 participate in
funding.
Councilwoman Rappa was concerned that this study not come forward until a
comprehensive package for Flood Control and possible revisions to the
Flood Control Plan were ready. She felt the study needed to go
hand -in -hand with the plan and not be dealt with in a piece -meal fashion.

proposal. They were requesting $7,225 for the interim program but were
hoping for something more permanent. She also requested that the city
provide a central location on city property which would allow for
screening of applicants.
Elizabeth "Biz" Steinberg, Executive Director of EOC, reviewed EOC's
involvement in the Coalition for the Homeless Ad Hoc Committee. She
stated that other funds were being applied for from County and State
agencies. She urged at least a six -month program.
George Moylan, Director of the SLO Housing Authority, reviewed his
participation in the Coalition for the Homeless. The Coalition would act
as a "clearing house ". He also supported a three- to six -month program
instead of 50 days during inclement weather.

People's Shelter programs. He stated that the bus was only a "bandaid"
solution.

a temporary immediate shelter.

Shelter to continue their work with the homeless. She encouraged the
Salvation Army and the EOC to work with the People's Shelter as well.
After discussion it was moved by Rappa /Settle (3 -2, Griffin /Dunin voting
no), to appropriate up to $10,000 dollars to help provide shelter needs
and authorize the City Administrative Officer to negotiate with the
appropriate agencies or organizations.
It was then moved by Rappa /Settle (3 -2, Griffin /Dunin voting no). that the
City initiate a meeting with the Board of Supervisors to discuss the
homeless situation.
Councilmember Griffin explained his no vote was because of concern that
should the Board of Supervisors not wish for a joint meeting, that the
situation would remain unresolved. He stated he would be willing to go up
to $20.000 dollars on a matching -fund basis with the County and other
organizations. He suggested that staff further explore the other sites
identified in the staff report, specifically the transmission shop and the
Palm /Morro Garage for a six -month basis that could be utilized at
no- charge to the organizations.

that outlined some of the pros and cons of the process outlining a
six -step approach.
After discussion it was moved Settle /Dunin (2 -2 -1, Dovey / Rappa voting no,
Griffin absent), to support the framework outlined by the City
Administrative Officer for the budget process without the use of budget
subcommittees.

9- 21 -87) distributed by the City Clerk's Office.

delete where possible, and prioritize the continued items.
After discussion Councilmembers agreed that any items that could be
incorporated in the quarterly goals reporting system be removed from the
continued item list. It was also general consensus that an update or
status report be provided for each item that remains on the list and
suggested a format change to include a status report. Department heads
should indicate the status of finished items or those dealt with in
another fashion to remove them from the list.
