Council held a public hearing the consider establishing a 50% reduction in plan review fees for
building permit applications involving identical buildings (continued from 6/1/92).
Moved by RaDOa/Roalman this item to be continued without discussion to date certain, Tuesday, July
21, 1992, due to the number of items on the agenda. Motion carried (5-0).
4.- SOLICITOR PERMIT FEES (File No. 479)
Council held a public hearing to consider an ordinance establishing the issuance of solicitor permits
and providing non - refundable fees for processing the application.
Moved by Raooa /Roalman this item to be continued without discussion to date certain, Tuesday, July

BUSINESS ITEMS
S. FISCAL CRISIS UPDATE (File No. 1113)
Council considered the State's budget crisis and its impact on the City (continued from 6/30/92).
Due to the length of the agenda, moved by Raooa /Roalman this item is continued to the next available

6. STATE WATER/WHALE ROCK EXCHANGE (File No. 517)
Council considered exchange water from Whale Rock Reservoir for State Water in order to eliminate
the need to build all or a portion of the Choro Valley pipeline (continued from 6/1/92).
Bill Hetland. Utilities Director, briefly reviewed the agenda report with the recommendation that
Council direct staff to proceed with Alternative No. 3 or, alternatively, No. 4 and negotiate agreements
with involved agencies and return to Council for Final approval. Alternative No. 3 would be to agree
to exchange water with only Cuesta College and the Cayucos Water Agency (i.e. County Waterworks
District No. 8, Morro Rock Mutual Water Company, and Paso Robles Beach Water Association). If
Moro Bay did not participate in the exchange but still received state water, a pipeline would need to
be built to provide water to Moro Bay and would pass by the California Men's Colony. The County
Operations Center would be served through an existing connection through CMC's system and would
utilize existing wells to provide for peaking needs unlike Cueste College. The total amount would be
381 acre feet per year which would require approximately 538 feet per year of state water to offset the
reduction in the City's yield. Each agency would receive approximately 72% of the state water
exchanged with the City. Cuesta College already receives water from the City of San Luis Obispo.
Any amount of state water exchanged with Cuesta, would have a positive impact on the City's water
supply situation by offsetting the current demand on Whale Rock Reservoir.
Mayor Dunin asked for public comment.
' Mr. Mike Hargett, representing Cuesta College, spoke on behalf of their need for water.
City Council Meeting Page 9
Tuesday, July 7, 1992 - 7:00 PM
other agencies and urged support

of Alternative No. 5 which would be no exchange with Whale Rock and eliminating the Cayucos Area
Water Agencies' participation in the State Water Project.
Moved by Raooa /Reiss to support the staff's recommendation to Alternative No. 3. Motion carried
(3-2, Councilmembers Pinard and Roalman voting no).

Upon general consensus, this item was continued to date certain, Tuesday, August 4, 1992

Council considered a statement of costs to abate a public nuisance at 863 Church Street; limar Peter
Jackson, property owner (continued from 2/18/92 and 3/17/92).
At the request of staff and moved by Raooa/Roalman to continue this item to date certain, Tuesday,

10. CHINESE GARDEN (File No. 815)
Council considered an offer to design and build a Chinese Garden for the City of San Luis Obispo.
John Dunn, City Administrative Officer, reviewed the agenda report with the recommendation that
Council review the several options that were identified in the report and addressing the request for
City assistance in the development of the Chinese Garden.
His recommended approach was A) conceptually endorse the idea of locating the garden in San Luis
Obispo but make no site decision at this time; B) determine that the lead role in pursuing the project
remain with private parties and the project be based upon a premise of self sufficiency; C) to assist
in this endeavor and suggest Dr. Lao formally structure and lead a project steering committee to
Include City and Cal Poly representation and interested representatives of the private sector. Based
on the interest and support expressed by President Baker, Cal Poly could be an important resource
in assisting the committee; and D) among the first tasks of the committee would be to develop a
refined concept for project operation and maintenance and to pursue the location issue through the
Open Space Committee and subsequently the Parks Master Plan process.
Mayor Dunin asked for public comment.
Professor Lao thanked Mayor Dunin and Mr. Dunn for their report and urged the Council to identify
a location for the garden. She reviewed what would be involved in the project and how the project
was proposed to be laid out.
Betty Neilson, 200 Ranchito Lane, spoke in support of the request and felt that it would be an
excellent memorial to the Chinese to have this garden located in San Luis Obispo.
Elsie Lewis also spoke in support of the gardens.
Eugene Sol, resident since 1987, spoke in support of the Council finding a suitable site. He liked
Dalidio as his first choice and Laguna Lake was his second choice.
LeAnn Son felt that this would be great addition for tourism.
James Lenacol, 1710 Luna, spoke in support of the Chinese Garden.
Ann Young also felt this would be a great tourist attraction.
Mayor Dunin spoke in support of the request. He felt it would be an excellent addition. He stated that
realistically there needed to be about 10 acres and would like to see the City make some dedication
for the establishment of the gardens.
Councilman Reiss questioned who would handle the maintenance. He stated that he was enthusiastic
about identifying a site and suggested that Dalidio property would be his preferred site.
Councilwoman Raoaa felt that the idea of putting a garden in San Luis Obispo is admirable but she
had difficulty with the project being proposed in either of the two parks, Laguna Lake or Dalidio. She
suggested that the proponents form a foundation and propose other sites and alternatives.
Councilwoman Pinard was also enthusiastic about the project and supported the use of the Dalidio

ha C'
property. She Taft it recharged that the City needed to be innovative in the way ec rg the �h/ s water basin
and used reclaimed water.
Councilman Roalman did not feel it was realistic to look at Dalidio and did not support Laguna Lake.
After discussion, moved by Pinard/Reiss to give conceptual approval to use part of the Dalidio land
and encourage the proponents to prepare conceptual drawings in collaboration with the Dalidio
representative, Andrew Merriam. Motion carried (3-2, Councilmembers Rappa and Roalman voting
no).
12:05 AM there being no further business to come before the City Council, Mayor Dunin adjourned
