PUBLIC COMMENT
® Shirley Bianci, San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisor, District Two, stated there
is a problem with MtBE contamination in
the City of Morro Bay and other communities
in this County that deserve an ammicable resolution.
Bill Woodson stated Morro Bay has become disenchanted with the services of Shell Oil
and the way they have declined to treat the MtBE leak in Morro Bay.
Terren Collins, Chair of the Santa Lucia District Sierra Club and Attorney for San Luis
Obispo County Chum8lf Council, stated Shell Oil has created this environmental
contamination and exhibit corporate irresponsibility by their bad tactics.
Pamela Marshall-Heatherington, Executive Director of the Environmental Center and
Health Commissioner of San Luis Obispo County, encouraged the City to hold Shell Oil
responsible for the MtBE contamination in the City.
STATUS REPORT TO COUNCIL
Greg Fuz, Public Services Director gave an overview of the status of the MtBE
contamination from the Shell Service Station on Main Street and Highway 41 in Morro
Bay.
® MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING - DECEMBER 18, 2000
City Attorney Robert Schultz reviewed the legal activities that have taken place and are
undergoing with Shell Oil regarding the MtBE contamination in Morro Bay. He said
subpoenas delivered to Shell Oil representatives not within the State of California were
quashed in Court today, and the matter was continued to January 4. 2001 regarding
subpoena power.
Mr. Schultz hand -delivered subpoenas to David Burrow, Cameron Smythe, Christine
White, and John Van Orden at this meeting to produce documents to the City by December
28, 2000.
Barry Groveman, Special Counsel, stated the City has made every conceivable effort to
resolve this situation with Shell Oil. He said there are daily on -going violations with the
City ordinance and State laws involving discharge to the soil, storage in the soil with no
permit, nuisance and interference to the City. Mr. Groveman stated Shell Oil
representatives have said they would like the City to allow the wells to be used as the
treatment center. He said this would include drawing all the contamination to the City's
® clean wells and then begin treating them at the well -head. Mr. Groveman stated they want
to remove the contamination to 5 parts per billion, take pristine wells and contaminate
them, and then reduce them to a certain level. He also noted Shell Oil will use huge
volumes of City water in this process which will be pumped into the City's sewer system.
Mr. Groveman stated Shell Oil has told the City to use the wells at their own risk, and also
noted not one requested document has been provided to the City by Shell Oil.
Fire Chief Jeff Jones reviewed the interview with a Shell Station employee that took
place at the station on December 13, 2000. He said the interview consisted of training
that takes place in the case of a chemical spill or leak. Chief Jones stated the employee
noted there is no specified employee training involving chemical spills.
Mr. Fuz noted during the interview, the employee responded when the alarm sounds for
the underground fuel leak detection. system; they usually hit the silencer button because it
means the fuel is low. He said the employee also noted the alarm has been going off
quite often.
COMMENTS BY SHELL/EQUILON REPRESENTATIVES
David Burrow, General Manager for Equilon, 2255 N. Ontario Street, Suite 207, Burbank,
California, stated he is responsible for making the business and financial decisions for the
Shell Oil, Texaco retail and Equilon business in Central and Southern California. Mr.
® Burrow stated Equilon is committed to the City to clean the MtBE threat to the
community, and will begin remediation within the next week. He said there are some
2
® MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING - DECEMBER 18, 2000
disagreements between the City and Equilon with regard to replacement water,
reimbursement costs and indemnity language. Mr. Burrow stated Equilon bought out the
independent operator of this service station in June 2000. He said he is confident the leak
was not caused by any underground leak. Mr. Burrow stated the clean-up requirement by
the Department of Health Services and regulatory agencies requires the removal of 5 parts
per billion.
Christine White; Remediation Manager for Equilon, 2255 N. Ontario Street, Suite 207,
Burbank, California, reported on the groundwater testing that has taken place on the City
wells performed by Equilon.
John Van Orden, 10602 NE 38' Place, Kirkland, Washington, 98033, reviewed the tank
system and leak detection systems of Shell Oil tanks. He stated the Simplicity Monitoring
Alarm System was installed at this location in November 1998.
It was noted that Feryal Sarrafain, Compliance Coordinator for Equiva, located at 2255 N.
® Ontario Street, Suite 207, Burbank, California, is responsible for inventory reconciliation
for this location.
Greg Fuz stated permit documentation was issued to Shell Oil on December 1, 2000.
Barry Groveman suggested the City Council consider Clayton Hall of Hall & Hiett, as
Abatement Officer or Warren Conklin as an alternate.
MOTION: Councilmember Crotzer moved the City Council appoint Clayton Hall as

(PUBLIC SERVICES)
® Capital Project Manager Bill Boucher stated the Public Services Department received a
petition signed by residents of Yerba Buena Street on November 7, 2000. He said the
residents request that some manner of speed control be placed on Yerba Buena Street
between Main Street and Panorama Avenue to mitigate the traffic safety concerns of high
speed, increased traffic volumes and lack of visibility. Mr. Boucher noted the Public
Works Advisory Board considered this matter at its November 28, 2000 meeting and
recommended that 15 mph speed limit signs be installed immediately, and staff to
perform a traffic analysis of the street segment. He said the Public Works Advisory
Board would reconsider this matter at its February 2001 meeting. Mr. Boucher stated
staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 77-00 declaring the
intersections of Yerba Buena/Tide and Yerba Buena/Panorama to be "stop intersections".
Mayor Anderson opened the hearing for public comment.
The following people addressed the hazard of speeding vehicles on Yerba Buena Street,
and requested the City Council consider the placement of speed control on Yerba Buena
Street between Main Street and Panorama Avenue to mitigate the traffic safety concerns

Christensen, Susan Brison, Don Baxter, Julie Steffonelli, David Wilson, Kristen Hutland,

Mayor Anderson stated he use to speed to get home in this area, and understands the
concerns of these citizens.
Councilmember Peters referred to the attempt to slow traffic on Chorro Street in San Luis
Obispo with stop signs and speed humps which seems .to work. She also recommended
placing a speed control device in this location.
Councilmember Peirce questioned the affects of stop signs vs. speed humps.
Councilmember Crotzer stated the City should be responsive to this situation. He said
he is in favor of stop signs and enforcing the speed limit of 15 "mph.

said stop signs do not usually slow vehicles but create more noise. Councilmember
Elliott suggested placing the City's motorcycle officer at this location to monitor traffic.

ESTABLISHING A GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE WHICH WILL
ALLOW FAIR DISTRIBUTION OF THE CITY'S SCARCE WATER
RESOURCES AND PROTECT THE SMALL TOWN CHARACTER AND
SURROUNDING OPEN SPACE OF THE CITY; (CITY ATTORNEY)
City Attorney Robert Schultz stated Ordinance No. 266, also known as Measure "F" was
adopted through a voter initiative in 1984. He said the title of Ordinance No. 266 states
that it is "an ordinance establishing a growth management procedure which will allow for
the fair distribution of our scarce water resources and protect the small town character
and surrounding open space of the City." Mr. Schultz stated the Ordinance cites the
City's Certified Land Use Plan and our adopted Water Management Plan, which in 1984
allowed for our residential population to grow from the then present 9,600 to 12,200 by
the year 2000. Mr. Schultz stated since the City has not yet reached a population of
12,200 by the year 2000, he recommended the City Council adopt Resolution No. 78-00
extending Ordinance No. 266 establishing a growth management procedure which will
allow fair distribution of the City's scarce water resources and protect the small town
character and surrounding open space of the City.
Mayor Anderson opened the hearing for public comment.
is Harry Rogers stated Measure "F" was originally intended as a no -growth measure, which
he did not support in 1984, and still does not support.

REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 11, 2000
John Barta suggested the City Council deny the proposed Resolution No. 78-00 stating it
is not necessary to place Council's further stamp of approval on Ordinance No. 266
which is already duly adopted and approved by the Coastal Commission. He
recommended the City Council consider directing staff to advise Council ninety days in
advance of such time as it appears likely that the City will exceed the issuance of 100
single family permits in a calendar year, and to suspend permit issuance pending Council
action.
Shoosh Crotzer stated the intent of Measure F. was to limit the population to not go over
12,200.
Ray McKelligott supports the continuation of Measure F regulations.
Mayor Anderson closed the public comment hearing.
Councilmember Crotzer stated Ordinance No. 266 prepares the City for the occurrence of
® a drought condition.
Councilmember Elliott stated the State Housing Authority could make a determination
independent of a City's resources, which can over -ride this type of regulation.
Councilmember Peirce stated a number should be set to limit the building permits issued
by the Public Services Department.
Based on Council comments, Mr. Schultz recommended amending Resolution No. 78-00
by removing the language that reads: "...until a population of 12,200 is reached by
December 31, 2000" in the 5's and 6s "Whereas'; and removing finding #2 completely.
MOTION: Councilmember Elliott moved the City Council adopt Resolution No. 78-00
as amended. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Peters and
carried with Councilmember Peirce voting no. (4-1)

Ms. Burlingame forwarded the Council's comments to the Public Works Advisory Board,
and the Public Works Advisory Board discussed and recommended the following: 1)

REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 27, 2000
Ms. Burlingame stated the staff recommendations are as follows: 1) approve a pilot
second trolley route for the 2001 season operating only on Saturdays (II a.m. - 7 p.m.)
and Sundays (I I a.m. - 6 p.m.) in order to assess ridership for this route, including a
review. at the end of the season to determine whether the adjustments to the second route
need to be made for the 2002 season; and 2) wait until after 2001 season before
considering changes to the fare structure in order to learn ridership patterns to determine
what kind of effect ridership from the second route might have on first route ridership and
farebox.
Councilmember Peters stated the trolley route should include the Saturday Fisherman's
Market. She suggested the trolley run on the weekends with later hours on Friday and
Saturday evenings.
Councilmember Elliott stated the training and administration of the trolleys should be
handled in-house. He said the 'second trolley should run the same days and hours as the
other trolley with a minimum of four stops.
® Councilmember Crotzer stated he supports increasing the fare to 5.50 for an all -day pass,
and to expand the Saturday route on a trial basis. He said the use of both trolleys is
providing public transportation at an economic rate.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 6, 2000
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Greig S. Cummings, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Invitation to a Geographic Information System (GIS) Presentation
At the request of the Morro Bay City Planning Commission staff has arranged for a presentation
of a Geographic Information System (GIS). Mr. John Kelly with the San Luis Obispo County
Planning and Building Department has consented to provide the commission with a presentation
during the regular Planning Commission meeting on November 20, 2000, at 6:00 P.M. The
meeting is located at the Veteran's Memorial Building, 209 Surf Street, Morro Bay.
®. At the direction of the Planning Commission, staff is requesting that members of the City
Council also attend the presentation. To be in compliance with the Brown Act, it is suggested
that the Council adjourn to the meeting on November 20, 2000, at the conclusion of the
Council's November 13, 2000, meeting. Department heads and other staff will also be invited to
attend.
SUMMARY
GIS has numerous uses for land use planning, public services, and public safety. Public safety
use can establish evacuation zones and information on individuals needing assistance with
evacuation. Public services can enter the capacities of various facilities and their condition and
readily generate various scenarios of projected improvements and costs. For planning, GIS can
be used for making presentations. For land use planning staff can more readily review data and
make better presentations of information such as archaeological sites, flood hazard areas,
geologic hazards, zoning, soils and much more. Assistance to the public when they make
decisions can be improved by making more information available. GIS information can also be
made available on the Internet for the convenience of the public.
There have been numerous Geographic Information Systems developed. Many never because
accepted as a standard and others can be prohibitively expensive. However, the San Luis Obispo
County GIS uses readily available soffivare that can be acquired at a reasonable price. Much
information in the unincorporated areas adjacent to the city has been entered into an existing GIS
® database and a copy provided to city staff. Within the City limits additional work would have to
U
be done. The various city departments can add and use the data throughout the existing city
computer network.
The City of Atascadero has entered the necessary base information into the County provided
system with the use of a talented Cal Poly intern. Once the basic control points and polygons are
input, additional data layers may be added for whatever purposes.
CONCLUSION
Staff is not recommending taking any action at this time. This is just an opportunity to look at an
existing GIS system that appears to be simple, affordable and readily available.

INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT ANALYSIS; (PUBLIC SERVICES)
Capital Projects Manager Bill Boucher stated the intersection of Main Street with State
Highways 41 and 1 is a complex, multi -legged intersection in the community identified
as eligible for geometric and operational improvements and seemingly conducive to the
traditional traffic engineering approach of signal installation. He said because two of the
three streets involved in this intersection are under the jurisdiction of the State
Department of Transportation, staff is working with this agency on various processes in
the effort to develop one or more alternatives which provide for long-term mitigation of
current and future problems. Mr. Boucher stated staff has been informed that a higher
percentage of local thatching funds can go far to accelerate the overall process and that a
local match of more than 50% can allow the City more control. He said with the present
grant fund application cycle, the City may be in an advantageous position to compete for
regional grant funding for this intersection. Mr. Boucher recommended the City Council
adopt Resolution No. 72-00 authorizing the funding application for the Main
® Street/Highway 41 intersection improvement design and construction.

® stated MBGS also notes if the rate increase takes effect earlier than January I, 2001, the
percentage of increase would be lessened (10.53% if effective November 1, 2000, and
10.73% if effective December 1, 2000).
Ms. Burlingame stated Council's direction to staff regarding RALCCO Recycling and the
recycling contract will have an affect on the options for the increased solid waste
collection rates, and reviewed exhibits provided in the staff report which outlines the
options available for Council's review. She recommended the City Council receive
public input, and direct staff accordingly.
Vice -Mayor Peirce opened the hearing for public comment.

® MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING- SEPTEMBER 25, 2000
Bonita Chumey addressed questions regarding the rate structure for both garbage and
recycling services that should be considered before raising rates, and asked if the
proposed rates are comparable to other cities in the County.
Frank Devine stated a rate hike for garbage service is not in order. He said he believes
garbage service and recycling service should be handled separately.
Greg Shipley, RALCCO Recycling, stated RALCCO saves the City money. He gave a
chronology of recycling services provided to the City by RALCCO Recycling.
Bill Worrell, San Luis Obispo County Waste Management Authority, stated the increase
proposed for garbage rates is justifiable in the County.
Ray McKelligott requested the City maintain recycling services with RALCCO
Recycling.
Roger Ewing requested the City maintain recycling services with RALCCO Recycling
isand asked that some of the money go towards education. He said he does not agree with
an increase in garbage service rates especially for those who use orange bags.
Vice -Mayor Peirce closed the public comment hearing.
Councilmember Crotzer stated it appears as if RALCCO Recycling provides satisfactory
services based on citizen input. He said he would like the City to work on the
educational component of recycling. Councilmember Crotzer stated Council should not
direct staff to increase rates on the residents to generate more money to pay for this
increased recycle contract which is a more reasonable contract. He said staff is hearing
that rates need to be increased in order to repair streets which is a hidden tax.
Councilmember Elliott stated the recycling program is a state mandate process. He said
he supports maintaining the existing recycling program with RALCCO Recycling until
the contract ends in December 2001, and then go out with a Request for Proposals.
Councilmember Elliott stated Morro Bay Garbage Service needs and deserves a rate
increase.
Councilmember Peters stated she supports maintaining services with RALCCO
Recycling with a short-term contract. She also supports the rate increase with Morro Bay
Garbage Service.

submit the requisite documentation regarding insurance certification,
performance bond and transfer of ownership agreement, and will continue
to collect curbside recycling weekly and collect green waste twice monthly
for the current rate of S7,024.50 per month. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Elliott and carried unanimously. (4-0)
Councilmember Crotzer stated although he has been asked by citizens not to increase the
orange bag and garbage rates, he feels it is appropriate based on.Morro Bay Garbage
Service's contract and proposed profit margin.
® MOTION: Councilmember Elliott moved the City Council approve the 10.53%
increase effective November 1, 2000 for Morro Bay Garbage Service, and
the orange bag increase to be effective immediately. The motion was

D-1 FISH R GAME DIRECTOR ORDER RESTRICTING THE CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA GILL NET FISHERY; (HARBOR)
Harbor Director Rick Algert stated in the 1980's the Department of Fish and Game
instituted regulations that restricted gill net fishing activity in less than 30 fathoms north
of Pt. Sal. He said subsequently; a statewide initiative passed that restricted gill nets
south of Pt. Arguello, leaving fishermen a small area between Pt. Arguello and Pt. Sal
where nets could be used in less than 30 fathoms. Mr. Algert stated the National Marine
Fishery Service requested the Department of Fish and Game close the area to nets in less
than 30 fathoms in 1993. He noted the Fish and Game Director at that time declined
stating that there was no evidence that sea otters were interacting with the limited fishing
gear in the area.

® MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - SEPTEMBER 25, 2000
Mr. Algert stated earlier this year Assemblyman Maldonado introduced a bill (AB 2570)
to restrict gill nets between Pt. Sal and Pt. Arguello. He said the Morro Bay City Council
took a position in opposition to AB 2570 at their May Sth meeting, stating there was no
evidence of interaction between the otters and this fishery and that the state had not
explored alternatives. Mr. Algert noted that Assemblyman Maldonado met with
interested fishermen and amended AB 2570 to provide for an observer program that
would have increased sea otter protection and scientific data and still allowed the limited
fishery. He said the amendment provided that if the observer program found any "take"
of the sea otter, the fishery would have closed.
Mr. Algert stated the State Fish and Game Code provides that if the Director of Fish and
Game determines that use of gill nets has an adverse impact on any population or species
of seabird, marine mammal or fish, the Director shall issue an order to prohibit or restrict
method or size of materials used in that fishery. On September 1 Ith, the Director of the
Fish and Game Department issued an order closing the gill net fishery between Pt.
® Arguello and Pt. Sal out to 60 fathoms for 120 days. Mr. Algert recommended the City
Council authorize the Mayor to correspond with the Department of Fish and Game
requesting reconsideration of the September 11, 2000 Executive Order which closed the
local gill net fishery out to 60 fathoms between Pt. Sal and Pt. Arguello.
Consensus of the City Council was to open this item as a public hearing to receive public
comment.
Vice -Mayor Peirce opened the hearing for public comment.
Steve Reebok, Technical Consultant to the Southern Seattle Recovery Team, stated he
was requested to appear by the Morro Bay Commercial Fishermen. He said 24
commercial fishermen from Morro Bay and Port San Luis will be affected by this order,
as well as the local economy which will be negatively affected. Mr. Reebok stated a
short-term solution would be to keep fishermen fishing with the current gear, and a long-
term solution would require an alternative of a near shore trawl fishery that is not
pennitted by law currently and will require negotiations with the legislature. He
requested Council authorize the Mayor to correspond with the Director of Fish and Game
in support of the local fishermen.
Ed Sylvester requested Council's support in corresponding with the Department of Fish
and Game to reconsider the order closing the local gill net fishery out to 60 fathoms
® between Pt. Sal and Pt. Arguello which is not a reasonable choice for local fishermen.

MOTION: Councilmember Elliott moved the City Council direct the Mayor to
correspond with the Department of Fish and Game requesting

Arguello. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Peters and

D-2 REPORT ON POLITICAL CAMPAIGN SIGN ORDINANCE; (CITY ATTORNEY)
City Attorney Robert Schultz stated the City is currently in the process of rewriting its
® entire Sign Ordinance. He said in regard to political signs, Morro Bay Municipal Code
Section 17.68.070(L) presently states as follows: Political campaign signs not to exceed
sixteen square feet in area per site shall be permitted only on private property, fora period
not to exceed sixty days preceding an election. Such signs shall be removed within seven
des after the election. Mr. Schultz stated it was found in 1997 that Morro Bay
Municipal Code Section 17.68.070(L) is probabl partially unconstitutional. Mr. Schultz
referred to several cases and stated since the City's ordinance has a greater restriction .
than that involved in these cases; there is probably less than a 50% chance of successfully
defending the current ordinance in a constitutional challenge. He said until the City's
Ordinance is rewritten, the City's Code Enforcement Officer will enforce all portions of
the sign ordinance except the square footage requirements. Mr. Schultz recommended
the City Council increase the maximum square footage of political signs to 64 square feet '
per lot for residential areas, but keeping the maximum 4 square feet per sign limit. He
said tying the number of signs to lot size to some extent will go a long way in justifying
the City's restrictions.
Council received this report for information; no action was taken.

Police Chief Joe Leven stated at the August 28, 2000 meeting, Council discussed the
issue of skateboarders in the downtown business district. He recommended the City
Council receive public comment and consider Resolution No. 55-00 prohibiting
skateboarding in a designated area. Chief Loven stated this resolution also establishes
the prohibition pursuant to Morro Bay Municipal Code Section 10.54.040, which is an
infraction and carries a penalty of S50 for the first offense, S 100 for the second offense
within one year, and S250 for a third offense within one year.
Mayor Anderson opened the hearing for public comment.
® The following people expressed opposition to the prohibition of skateboarding in the
downtown area: Cam Alton, Steven Eckman, Paul Donnelly, Chris Logan, Woody
Roberts, Lorraine Cubiak, Shelby Fry, David Sumney, Josh Lapso, Alex Mendonca,
Linda Donnelly, Chris Willis, Eric Donnelly, Shaun Brasene, Gunner Cubiak, Mike

The following people did not express pros or cons regarding the ban; however, it was
requested Council find a solution to provide a location for the skateboarders to perform
their sport: Lynda Merrill, Stevie Anderson, Gary Ryan, and Paul Twedt.
The following comments and recommendations were made for the City Council's
consideration: 1) skateboarding is used for transportation; 2) current skatepark is not
open enough, and the sand damages skateboard equipment; 3) instead of charging a fine
on a first offense, impound the skateboards and charge with community service; 4)
consider the placement of a permanent skatepark in the City; and 5) combine the
skatepark with the proposed teen center.
Mayor Anderson closed the public comment hearing.

Councilmember Peirce stated skateboarding as a sport should be done in a defined area.
He said he would like to see a larger facility, away from sand, with no charge.
Councilmember Peirce stated based on the complaints made by downtown business
people, he supports the ban on skateboarding in the downtown area.
Councilmember Crotzer stated when a complaint is made, police presence should react
to the situation. He said banning skateboarding in a specific area penalizes everyone,
and noted positive behavior should be recognized and encouraged in order to turn things
around. Councilmember Crotzer stated he does not support banning skateboarding on
public thoroughfares, and added that posted signs will become an eyesore in the
downtown area.
Councilmember Peters stated there should be a basic respect for the law. She said part
of civilization is there are laws to live by; and, part of responsibility is to be respectful
for the safety of others. Councilmember Peters stated she supports extending hours at
the existing skate park, and to seek funding for a permanent skate park in order to
® encourage this sport. She said she supports the ban downtown which should include
Pacific, Market, Beach and Shasta Streets. Councilmember Peters asked if instead of
posting signs, if the restriction can be painted on the sidewalks.
Councilmember Elliott stated he supports a permanent skateboard facility; however, he
noted there are other existing problems such as road repairs and parking that need to be
addressed in this City. He said destruction of public property is unacceptable and should
not be allowed. Councilmember Elliott stated transportation is not the issue, it is
destruction of property and the safety of others. He said he supports the ban of
skateboarding in the downtown area, and agreed with the expanded area suggested by
Councilmember Peters.
Mayor Anderson stated when this was reviewed by Council last year, he did not support
a ban. He said it was requested of the skateboarders at that time to try and resolve the
problem or else there would be consequences Mayor Anderson stated based on the
complaints made by the downtown business people, he supports the ban of
skateboarding in the downtown area; however, he does not support extending the
boundaries. He said those who use their skateboards for transportation can use the side
streets to get to where they are going. Mayor Anderson stated he is committed to locate
a better skate park, and finding solutions to improve the existing skate park.

REGULAR MEETING - SEPTEMBER 11, 2000
Nelson Sullivan expressed opposition to the base year calculations.
John Barta stated as a consumer of electricity, he likes the fact of running a more
efficient energy. He said it is unrealistic to consider not having a power plant in Morro
Bay.
Mayor Anderson closed the public comment hearing.
Councilmember Elliott stated the Memorandum of Understanding states clearly the plant
will not be supported if it creates more pollutants. He said the State is in the process of
mandating a certain percentage of electrical vehicles on the road by the year 2003/2004.
Councilmember Crotzer stated banking of emission reduction credits is a perpetuation of
pollution. He said the pollutants will create impacts on the nursery of the estuary, on the
bay, and the productivity of the ocean. Councilmember Crotzer stated there should be
three choices for the City, the existing plant, a modernized plant, or no plant at all.
® Councilmember Peters stated PG&E could have applied for emission credits at the time
they ceased burning oil, and they could have applied those credits towards the current
plant against the regulation that would lower the emission standards.
Councilmember Peirce stated his primary concern is the air quality in Morro Bay. He
said to reduce pollution, the use of electricity in the City should be reduced by 50%.
Councilmember Peirce stated it is said the City receives as much pollution from the
highway as it does from the power plant.
Mayor Anderson stated there are two choices for the City, a new modernized plant, or
the existing plant. He noted that power is necessary and will be produced one way or
another.
This item was informational, and no further action was taken on this item.

REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 28, 2000
Jack McCurdy addressed the concern of reported energy shortage in California. He said
Duke Energy has stated this shortage is a case of demand exceeding supply. Mr.
McCurdy stated the additional power that is needed is already in the pipeline, and
speeding up approval of the Morro Bay Power Plant project will not bring more power
this year and next when it may be needed.
John Barta addressed Item D-1 (Consideration of Request for Water Equivalency Units
from the Retrofit Bank for Expansion of the Assisted Elderly Living Facility Located at
480 Main Street), and noted that after January 1, 2001 the retrofit program will be a moot
issue. He commended the City Council for moving forward with the Memorandum of
Understanding with Duke Energy which is a positive project for the City.
Lois Seymour, Bank Manager of West America Bank, addressed Item D-3 (Discussion on
Downtown Skateboarding Issues) stating there are signs posted around the bank
prohibiting skateboarding which are being ignored. She expressed concern with the
safety of pedestrians, skateboarders, and the surrounding property of the bank which is
® being abused by some skateboarders.
Bonita Chumey addressed Council on the requested grant application for emission
reduction credits made by Duke Energy, and said she hopes the City has contacted the Air
Pollution Control District (APCD) regarding its position on this matter. She addressed the
California Supreme Court's ruling regarding the Mojave River Basin and the conflict of
water being used by farmers and municipalities. Ms. Chumey stated the ruling was in
favor of agricultural use, and noted the importance of water conservation. She also
referred to the article in the Sun Bulletin regarding the global photon and their intent to
land cable in Morro Bay, and urged the Council to use this opportunity to request the
cable be placed underground.'
Peter Wagner asked why Council is discussing the lease on the water outfall four years
ahead of its expiration in closed session. He said this lease is the most important leverage
the City has in its negotiations with Duke Energy, and discussion should be taking place
in an open session meeting.
Joyce Lundy, Bank Manager of Bank of America, addressed Item D-3, and noted the
potential danger to pedestrians by skateboarders on the sidewalks in the downtown area.
She also expressed concern with potential liability to the bank.

meetings between the City and Duke Energy on the outfall lease. He said the MOU states
negotations are to take place on this lease after the City obtains the development
agreement for the power plant, and that has not taken place. Mr. Nelson urged the City
Council to not give away the outfall lease. He noted the APCD is anxious for the City's
response on the air credits for oil pollution, and asked the City to respond in a timely
manner.
Ellen Sturtz recommended the following to Council regarding the Duke Energy Power
Plant: 1) a closed session report as complete as possible be made to the public during
open session; 2) publish closed session items on the City's web page, and in the Sun
Bulletin following the meeting; and 3) consider selecting an independent legal party to
® review the determination about bringing matters to closed session.
Lynda Merrill stated the skateboard issue should have been agendized as a public hearing.

Gary Trudell, Owner of Bay Town Antique Store, said some of the skateboarders in the
downtown area have no concem for pedestrians or public property, and something needs
to be done.
Harry Rogers addressed Item D-3 stating degradation of public property and the risk to
pedestrians should not be allowed.

enforcement of skateboarding.
Patti Dunton stated sacred land forms have been filed for the cemetery at the tank farm
area which are on file with the Native American Heritage Commission, and the California

ATTORNEY)

the advisory measure. Mr. Schultz stated Section 9603 of the Elections Code allows cities
to submit proposals to an advisory election to allow voters to voice their opinion on
substantive issues or to indicate to the legislative body their approval or disapproval of
the ballot proposal. He recommended the City Council review the information provided

C-3 STATUS REPORT ON PARKING IN -LIEU FUNDS; (CITY ATTORNEY)
City Attorney Robert Schultz stated the Parking In -Lieu Fund was established in 1989 to
provide increased business opportunities along the community's waterfront. He said
rather than providing on -site parking, owners were allowed the option to pay to the City a
fee in the amount of S4,000 per required on -site parking space, thereby increasing the
amount of area that could be developed for business purposes. Mr. Schultz stated monies
accumulated in the fund are to be used solely for the purposes of improving public
parking availability as the Municipal Code specifically states that Parking In -Lieu fees
shall be used for planning, design, acquisition or lease of land and
development/redevelopment of public parking facilities. He reported as of April 28,
2000, the Parking In -Lieu Fund had a cash on hand balance of S177,109.10. Mr. Schultz
stated staff has continued to monitor and investigate potential parking lot parcels within
the parking management plan area. He recommended the City Council receive the status
report on Parking In -Lieu Funds, and direct staff accordingly.
The City Council received the report, and requested staff actively pursue the location of
parking sites in Morro Bay.

ALLOCATION POLICIES; (PUBLIC SERVICES)
Public Services Director Greg Fuz reviewed the City's present Water Allocation Policy,
and recommendations made by the Planning Commission and Public Works Advisory
Board concerning the policy for consideration by the City Council. He said staff has
reviewed these recommendations with the City Attorney and formed an action plan to
encourage the rapid completion of any remaining retrofits over the next year, and also to
emphasize the importance of conservation as a primary goal for the City by adoption of a
new water conservation ordinance and update of the Water Management Plan and related
Capital Improvement Program.
City Engineer Larry Kraemer and Building Official Clyde Ganes reviewed the retrofit
® program statistics, including schools in the San Luis Unified School District.
City Attorney Robert Schultz stated the school district is agreeable to retrofit Morro Bay
High School.
Mayor Anderson called for a break at 7:45 p.m.; the meeting resumed at 8:00 p.m.
Mayor Anderson opened the hearing for public comment.
Dennis Capria, The Toilet Man, stated the retrofit program should end this year unless 3.5
gallon toilets are retrofitted.
John Barta stated the City has ample water with state water and conservation measures.
He said the present retrofit policy is inadequate with few retrofits remaining. Mr. Barta
said the high school will retrofit for conservation measures only, and should not be
included in the City's retrofit program.
Harry Rogers stated water supplies are adequate and the retrofit program has run its
course. He said vacant lot owners pay impact fees when purchasing their lot, and should
not have to pay another fee when submitting for a building permit.
® Steve Semons requested the City Council make a decision so property owners who want
to build can move ahead with their plans.

® MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - MAY 8, 2000
Mayor Anderson closed the public comment hearing.
Councilmember Peirce stated it is appropriate to allocate state water for new
development. He said he supports mandatory retrofit while they are available, and then
allocate state water, and continue urging conservation. Councilmember Peirce stated
property owners who want to build a home already pay fees, and should not have to pay
another tax fee.
Councilmember Peters stated she supports mandatory retrofit of toilets with a deadline
set, and then allocate state water with conservation being the primary goal.
Councilmember Crotzer stated the remedy which seems most reasonable is by charging
an impact fee for building to assist with the infrastructure. He said Morro Bay should
become more dense to protect surrounding agricultural land. Councilmember Crotzer
stated he does not support current citizens to pay for an increased population.
® Councilmember Elliott stated the retrofit program should not be used as a marketable
profit. He said there is more than enough ground water and with state water there should
be little concern of ample water supply. Councilmember Elliott stated charging an
impact fee is another tax which is not appropriate.
Mayor Anderson stated Morro Bay is in the best position for water in the County with the
retrofit program, desalination plant and state water. He said he would like the retrofit
program to end by December 2000. Mayor Anderson stated it should be mandatory upon
the sale of a house that they have low -flow toilets prior to the close of escrow. He
requested staff poll other municipalities regarding their building impact fees.
MOTION: Councilmember Elliott moved the City Council: 1) direct staff to end the
retrofit program by the end of December 31, 2000; 2) agendize the review
of Section 13.20 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code by the end of
November 2000; 3) make recommendations on Planning & Building fees;
and 4) provide alternatives for new mandatory retrofit regulations and
alternatives for retrofitting 3.5 gallon toilets. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Peirce and carried with Councilmember Crotzer voting
no. (4-1)

on an issue. He said in order to place such an advisory measure related to the Morro Bay
Power Plant modernization project on the November 7, 2000 ballot, it is necessary for the
City Council to approve a resolution calling an advisory election.
Councilmember Crotzer expressed concern with placing an advisory vote on the ballot
regarding the replacement and modernization of the power plant. He said most people
will be in favor of regulatory environmental guidelines, however,. it should refer to

agreement. Mr. Hendrix recommended the City Council approve a one month extension
of the existing Curbside Recycling Franchise Agreement (CRFA) with the existing

issues.
City Attorney Robert Schultz reviewed the issues raised by RALCCO Recycling
regarding the CRFA.
Greg Shipley, representing RALCCO Recycling, stated he would like to start out with a
new contract on better terms. He said RALCCO would like definitions on what is
recyclable, and what are liquidating damages. Mr. Shipley stated RALCCO believes
strongly in education through video, web site, and donation of computers to the library.
He said he knows nothing about the mechanism of the 525,000 scholarship fund.
Councilmember Crotzer stated the requested time extension is reasonable. He said he is
pro -active to have staff work positively with RALCCO until the contract ends. He noted
® he is critical about the educational component which RALCCO did not fulfill.
Councilmember Crotzer stated funding for Morro Bay High School Pirate Recycling is
necessary, but should not be a part of this contract and perhaps could be distributed as a
pass -through fee.
Councilmember Elliott stated this service is a tax paid by the citizens, and the money
should be distributed by the City for programs such as education.
Councilmember Peters stated failure of communication is frustrating, and too many
questions of the City have gone unanswered by RALCCO. She questioned the viability
of this business. Councilmember Peters expressed the importance of maintaining the
educational funding for Morro Bay High School Pirate Recycling.
Councilmember Peirce stated the marketing and education issues should allow some
flexibility. He stated RALCCO is not capable and should not be responsible for
managing funds for educational grants. Councilmember Peirce stated the City should
have a method of guarantee of what is acceptable relating to insurance and financial
responsibilities.
Mayor Anderson stated the funds are due to Morro Bay High School Pirate Recycling as
an educational incentive. He said regardless of profit, all recyclables should be picked
® up.

® MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - APRIL 10, 2000
Darrel Brady stated based on Duke Energy's published figure of water consumption from
the bay, the power plant is using more water in a day than the bay can hold. He said this
amount of water will cause damage to the ecosystem in the bay, and an economic impact
due to the sedimentation added to the bay.
Roger Ewing addressed Item C-1 (Consideration of Recycling and Green Waste Services
and Award of Contract) and requested Council keep in mind what will best serve the
citizens. He said he is opposed to rate increases being absorbed in the rate payers water
bills. Mr. Ewing urged Council to maintain the City's recycling services with RALCCO
Recycling, and noted the importance of education of how to recycle.
Nancy Bast addressed Item C-1 stating this item should be agendized as a public hearing.
She said Mono Bay's reported recycled tonnage pick-up is 50% of solid waste. Ms. Bast
stated when comparing costs for weekly green waste pick-up, Mono Bay Garbage Service
provides for three can pick-up compared to RALCCO's six can pick-up. She said
RALCCO offers a more comprehensive and versatile service at a lower cost.
® Randall Boatac stated what the City has done to the Salinan People is a shame by selling
their land to the Duke Energy Power Plant.
Betty Forsythe, representing Mono Bay Friends of the Library, stated the week of April 9 -
15, 2000 is "National Library Week". She reviewed events that will be taking place during
that week.
Tina Metzger presented a plant and thanked those who planted trees and plants around the
Duke Energy Power Plant.
Barbara Playan addressed Item C-I and requested Council not approve rate increases. She
also addressed the proposed roundabout at Mono Bay Boulevard and Quintana Road and
said it will be too difficult for people to adjust to entering this intersection. Ms. Playan also
noted the importance of psychological testing in local public schools.
Dick Sylvester requested the City's support in opposition to Assemblyman Maldonado's
legislature (AB 2570) regarding the gill net ban to save sea otters.
Jack Hanson also expressed opposition to AB 2570.
Bob Can, representative of the Air Pollution Control District, reported on the efforts made
® by the APCD relating to the Duke Energy Modernization Project.

® MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - APRIL 10, 2000
Lynda Merrill addressed Item C-1 requesting Council support in maintaining RALCCO
Recycling services. She also expressed the need for road repair in North Morro Bay. Ms.
Merrill stated the graphics provided by Duke Energy of the modernization project are not
clear on what the plant is going to look like in the future.
David Nelson showed a picture of a power plant in Bridgeport, Connecticut which is to
look similar to the plan proposed for the Duke Energy power plant in Morro Bay. He
referred to a report that states there are 20-26 sites at the power plant where pollutant
chemicals have been found. Mr. Nelson stated a noise ordinance 'should be implemented
to govern the noise produced by the power plant.
Mark Seedhall, Duke Energy, stated the picture shown by Mr. Nelson is not similar to the
proposed plan for the Morro Bay power plant. He reviewed charts on use demands of the
Duke Energy power plant in Morro Bay.
® Tom Laurie addressed the negative effects of the estuary which will be created by the
proposed modernization plan by Duke Energy.
Monique Nelson stated it is noted on the internet that the proposed plan for the Morro Bay
power plant is similar to the Bridgeport, Connecticut plant.
Jack McCurdy stated a citizen's initiative has been filed and petitions are being circulated
to allow the vote of the citizens on the proposed modernization of the Duke Energy power
plant. He requested donations be made to the Morro Bay Neighbors regarding this
initiative.
Nelson Sullivan requested support for the initiative which petitions are currently being
circulated regarding the Duke Energy power plant.
Bonita Chumey stated there are three alternatives regarding the power plant: maintain the
old plant, modernize the old plant, or have no plant located in Morro Bay. She said it is
premature to know what pollutants will be caused by a modernized plant; however, with the
proposed lower stacks, the pollutants will be floating lower and into the community.
Patty Dunton stated the land which the power plant sits should be returned to the ancestors
of the Salinan People. She said this land should be returned to its original state by removing
the damage caused to their ancient and cultural sites. Ms. Dunton stated she has no respect
® for a corporation who will cut down rain forests to produce energy such as Duke Energy
has done.

C. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
CA CONSIDERATION OF RECYCLING AND GREEN WASTE SERVICES AND
AWARD OF CONTRACT; (ADMINISTRATION)
Administrative Assistant Janeen Burlingame stated at the January 10, 2000 City Council
meeting, the Council terminated the Curbside Recycling Franchise Agreement with
RALCCO Recycling effective April 30, 2000, and directed staff to develop a transition
plan, including contract details and cost for a six month interim period, while a Request for
Proposal could be performed. Ms. Burlingame recommended the City Council consider the
following: 1) review the cost proposals from Morro Bay Garbage Service and RALCCO
Recycling regarding providing recycling and green waste services, and consider options for
service; 2) select the preferred option and award a contract, and 3) authorize the City
Manager to prepare a resolution to execute an agreement for recycling and green waste
services and adjustment to the solid waste rates for approval at the April 24th Council
meeting.
® Bill Worrell from the Integrated Waste Management Authority reviewed slides of Morro
Bay sites before and after garbage pick-up. He also reviewed future IWMA programs such
as Morro Bay Household Hazardous Waste Facility, Commercial Recycling Education
Program, School Recycling Assistance Program, and Construction and Demolition Waste
Model Ordinance.
Tom Martin, Controller for Morro Bay Garbage Service, stated the City designs the
garbage/recycling program and implements the rates. He said the City has an option of
competition or staying with the current contractor with a defaulted contract. Mr. Martin
stated Morro Bay Garbage will provide a service at a rate implemented by the City and live
up to their contract.
Greg Shipley, General Manager for RALCCO Recycling, stated the City would be best
served by extending the recycling contract with RALCCO until the garbage contract comes
up for bid, and then obtain competitive bids. He said RALCCO can save the City S 10,000
per month compared to the rates of Morro Bay Garbage. Mr. Shipley stated RALCCO
operates by making money off of recyclable materials.
Councilmember Elliott stated the key issue is affordability. He said there should be
mandatory recycling for commercial use, and mandatory construction and demolition
recycling. Councilmember Elliott stated that recycling should start with the consumer of
waste products. He said he supports maintaining RALCCO Recycling until the garbage
® contract is fulfilled and then go out for bid, and provide weekly green waste pick-up using
the franchise fees to cover the extra costs.

® MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - APRIL 10, 2000
Councilmember Crotzer stated he agrees that through education or legislation, the waste
consumer should be required to use recyclable materials. He said the current service
provided by RALCCO Recycling is working and there is no reason to change.
Councilmember Crotzer stated increased rates for expanded green waste service should be
paid through the franchise fees received by the City. He noted the rate payers will pay if
there is no competition in this service.
Councilmember Peters stated she would prefer the use of waste wheelers over orange bags,
adding plastic bags are not environmentally smart. She said she agrees that the consumer
should be educated on recycling. Councilmember Peters stated she agrees with adding
weekly green waste pick-up with the extra cost being paid by franchise fees. She said she
supports maintaining RALCCO Recycling services, and proceed with Request for
Proposals at the end of the garbage contract.
Councilmember Peirce stated there should be weekly green waste pick-up. He also agrees
with maintaining RALCCO Recycling, and go out for bid in 14 months.
® Mayor Anderson stated the City should not continue with an inferior service that is cheaper.
He said he agrees that waste wheelers would be easier to use than the use of plastic bags.
MOTION: Councilmember Elliott moved the City Council direct staff to initiate a
contract with RALCCO Recycling for 14 months, with the addition of
weekly green waste pick-up, and the additional expense to be paid by the
City through franchise fees. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Peirce.
Councilmember Crotzer stated he does not support paying the additional expense of the
expanded green waste pick-up for the 14 month period.
Councilmember Peirce noted the franchise fees have been placed in the General Fund for
City-wide expenses.
Mayor Anderson stated if cost is an issue then maintain green waste pick-up at twice per
month.
Councilmember Crotzer stated the logic of paying a franchise fee is to cover impacts, and a
certain amount of these fees should pay for the impact on City streets.
® Councilmember Elliott stated these franchise fees are hidden taxes that are not maintained
for the service provided.

rules of recycling and trash pick-up, and include phone numbers of who to call with
questions.
Councilmember Peirce stated education on recycling could help in the lost tonnage. He
said customers using the orange bags should also receive recycle bins.
Councilmember Elliott stated their should be a prohibition of placing green waste in
orange bags. He said he is opposed to the waste wheeler bins because they will probably
be exposed in front of residences. Councilmember Elliott also said green waste should be
picked up weekly.
Councilmember Crotzer stated sometime soon he would like to discuss inverted rates that
would be motivating, and the commercial waste stream. He said education on recycling,
including that of construction debris, should be a priority and would help with the City's
diversion rate.
® Mayor Anderson agreed with Council comments. He said the goal is eventually there
will be one service provider which will assist in much of the confusion.

Re: Additional Proposed Revisions to the Draft Memorandum of Understanding
("MOU-)
Dear Rob:
In follow up to our telephone conference of last week regarding the additional comments
to the draft MOU (the "Additional Comments', received by the City of Morro Bay (the
"City' from citizens, Council members and City Commissioners (the "Additional
® Comments'o, I am writing to provide you with the response of Duke Energy Morro Bay
LLC ("Duke Morro Bay') to the Additional Comments. The Additional Comments were
forwarded by your February Sei letter to Mark Seedall, and because of time constraints,
Duke Morro Bay's response to the Additional Comments was not incorporated in my
previous letter of February 8, 2000 to you. This letter will provide Duke Morro Bay's
response to the Additional Comments.
LJ
Duke Morro Bay believes that it is important, as the City determines whether to support
the passage of the MOU on the 28`s of February, for the City to focus on the significant
benefits of the MOU to the City as it was initially structured and negotiated between the
City staff and representatives of Duke Morro Bay. Those benefits include: (1) the
demolition of the existing power plant site — an agreement unprecedented to date in the
State of California; (2) the demolition of the existing power plant on a schedule more
accelerated than Duke Morro Bay initially proposed; (3) Duke Morro Bay's commitment
to make the modernized Morro Bay power plant a more environmentally -sensitive
facility; (4) significant financial commitments by Duke Morro Bay to the City, extending
for the life of the modernized power plant; and (5) Duke Morro Bay's voluntary
agreement to provide for more public input into the AFC process, and at an earlier time,
than would normally be available under usual California Energy Commission ("CEC'O
protocol and procedures.

In the interest of time and in an effort to keep this letter focused, I am providing Duke
Morro Bay's response to each of the Additional Comments, together with a brief
explanation for such response. To the extent a more detailed discussion with you or any
other City representative concerning the basis for any of the following would be
beneficial, Duke Morro Bay continues to welcome the opportunity to discuss them with
you in more detail.
With respect to the proposed revisions to Page 6, Lines 4 —14, the revisions suggested to
subparagraph (a) are duplicative of "City Issues" already identified and included in the
MOU. With respect to the revisions proposed to subparagraph (b), as identified on page
2 of your letter, please be advised that:
i. emissions and other impacts on air quality fall within the exclusive
jurisdiction of the San Luis Obispo County APCD;
ii. water usage falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Central Coast
RWQCB;
iii. impacts on commercial fishing operations will be addressed pursuant to
the jurisdiction of the Central Coast RWQCB;
iv. Duke Morro Bay agrees that "socio-economics" include tourism as well as
public services; and
V. impacts on the physical and biological status of the bay and estuary fall
within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Central Coast RWQCB.
With respect to the changes proposed to Page 6, Lines 16 — 23 of the MOU, Duke
believes that the existing pre -application process is workable and will allow the needs of
the City and of Duke Morro Bay to be met. In particular, Duke Morro Bay will provide a
letter to the City that describes the proposed changes to its AFC prior to the City
workshops. Public input will be most valuable, to both the City and Duke Morro Bay, in
advance of the formal preparation and submission of the AFC to the CEC by Duke Morro
Bay, and City Staff will then have an opportunity to provide its comments on the
proposed revisions to the AFC to Council. It should be noted that in this regard, the
public will have further opportunities to comment publicly on any matter of concern to
any citizen during the CEC process.
With respect to the changes proposed to Page 6, Line 25 of the MOU, please refer to the
comments provided to Page 6, Lines 16 — 23.
With respect to the changes proposed to Page 7, Line 7 of the MOU, the "City Issues" are
defined on Pages 3 and 6 of the MOU as previously revised.

With respect to the changes proposed to Page 7, Line 30 of the MOU, this issue is already
addressed in the pre -application process defined by the MOU.
With respect to the changes proposed to Page 7, Line 32 of the MOU, the City has this
right independent of the MOU.
With respect to the proposed change to Page 8, Line 10, Line 20, Line 24 and Line 28 of
the MOU, these issues are covered by the Duke Mono Bay/City agreements and the
Long Term Master Plan that will be entered into between the City and Duke Morro Bay.
In that regard, Duke Morro Bay shall comply with any State and/or Federal laws
concerning soil/water contamination. Duke Morro Bay can, and will, comply with all
State and/or Federal laws applicable to the facility.
With respect to the changes proposed to Page 10, Line 25 of the MOU, please refer to the
comments provided immediately above.
With respect to the changes proposed to Page 11, Line 2 of the MOU, responsibility for
such environmental review rests exclusively with the APCD and the RWQCB.
® With respect to the proposed changes to Page 11, Line 23, Line 24 and Line 25 of the
MOU, the intent of the current language in the MOU as to the Intake Structure is for this
process to result in a more aesthetically pleasing fapade, and one that is consistent with
City guidelines. Due to existing mechanical and technical limitations, the building height
cannot be any lower than its current configuration.
U
With respect to the remaining comments proposed by your letter, please be advised as
follows:
(a) Duke Morro Bay does not have the flexibility to permit it to "set up a utility
company to supply energy to the City." Neither Duke Morro Bay nor its
affiliates have the authority or ability to expand their current business
enterprises to encompass such an enterprise; and
(b) The reconfiguration of the Intake Structure will be considered in the
"Alternatives Section" of the AFC, and a wide range of alternative cooling
systems will be reviewed by the Central Coast RWQCB on this matter.
