per thousand population, but noted that the Council could set

law. Mr. Wolter also stated that the in -lieu monies were used

required and the standards for dedication of parkland.

MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - SEPTEMBER 12, 1983
P AGE SEVEN
Mayor Shelton agreed that professional promotion might be the way
t o go, but also noted that the City of Pismo Beach had also had
success promoting individual activities and community groups.
Councilmember Risley felt that the promotion should be done in a
w ay to attract the tourists, but also taking the feelings of the
✓ esidents into consideration. Councilmember Risley suggested
t hat the $40,000 be split with 50o to go to a professional
Promotion and 50o to individual local activities.
Councilmember Zeuschner felt that the bulk of the money should be
placed in professional promotions. Councilmember Zeuschner noted
that since this year is already under way, perhaps the split
could be about 75% to professional promotion, with 25% to
individual local requests.
Councilmember Zeuschner felt that the guidelines prepared by
staff should be adopted as a working document, and at least 60-
750 of the funds used for professional promotions.

allocated for professional promotions.
MOTION:
Councilmember Risley moved that the Council earmark
$25,000 for professional promotional activity, and

promotion and several sugggested amendments to the guidelines
w ere presented.

t hat a committee be set up to investigate alternate
methods of community promotion, with Councilmember

Councilmember Anderson.
Council then discussed the role of the committee in developing
and refining the goals and objectives.

t he promotion and the City should not get involved.

B-3 CONSIDERATION OF CHANGE OF POLICY FOR COMPUTATION OF WATER
RATES FOR MOBILE HOME PARKS
Mr. Sibbach stated that the City had received a letter from
Cypress Trailer Park, alleging that the water rates were
inequitable, and penalized mobile home parks. Mr. Sibbach stated
t hat the staff had examined the water useage and billings for
mobile home parks, and found that differences do exist because of
the rate structure. Mr. Sibbach stated that staff had prepared
several options and methods of recovery of lost revenue.
Mr. Baxter stated that a decision would need to be made tonight,
so that there would be adequate time for Mr. Sibbach to reprogram
t he billing on the computer.
Councilmember Risley felt that it was too early to start
restructuring the water rates, and we should allow more time to
completely analyze the rate structure.

be corrected.

o f residents in the vicinity of the Hemlock and Sequoia
intersection regarding an alleged safety hazard caused by the
u npaved parking area belonging to the Estero Methodist Church.

t he intersection and the residents claim it is hazardous.
Mrs. Collier, representative of the Church, stated that they had
n ot seen any petition, nor heard from the City regarding this
problem. Mrs. Collier also felt, that since the parking lot was
u sed as a street between Hemlock and Sequoia, that the only
alternative to the Church would be to barricade the street from
t raffic.
N ick Nichols noted that the street has been barricaded and is no
longer passable. He was not sure this would correct the drainage
problem but it should correct the majority of the other problems.
There was additional discussion regarding the barricades, and
o ther alternatives.

✓ estraining order to prevent use of the dock, and this use should
n ot be allowed until safety problems have been corrected.
Councilmember Risley felt that the Council should not consider
any request from the leaseholder until the past due rent is paid.
Mayor Shelton objected and stated that it would be unreasonable
t o expect the leaseholder to pay rental when he is being
prevented from operating his business. Mayor Shelton stated that
he was having serious problems with stopping use of this dock,
and noted that he had visited the site and did not feel that the
dock was that unsafe.
Mr. Baxter stated that this would be the purpose of setting the
P ublic Hearing, to allow testimony to be presented on both sides.
Mr. Baxter noted that the applicant has had almost a month to
correct the problem and has not made any attempt to contact the
City for a permit.
Mr. Baxter noted that the main concern was the safety aspect of
t he dock, and the potential liability on the City's part. Mr.
Baxter also informed Council that the applicant did not have
current insurance.
Mr. Ivan Rosenberg spoke for Mr. Hutchison, and stated that it
w as his feeling that poor communication existed between the City
and Mr. Hutchison, and that the City had not acted in good faith
n or had they kept Mr. Hutchison informed of the action expected
o f him. Mr. Rosenberg felt that the City had deceived Mr.

Hutchison. Mr. Rosenberg referred to material handed out by Mr.
Hutchison and noted that a copy of current insurance had been
included.
Mr. LeSage stated that the City had many concerns regarding this
site, but the one before Council now was the condition of the
dock. Mr. LeSage noted that the insurance did not include the
City as co-insured, nor does it list both lease sites.
Mr. Rosenberg assured Council that these conditions do exist with
t he insurance and promised to have a corrected copy forwarded.
Mr. LeSage indicated that the problem was basically simple and
t hat as soon as the dock is repaired, the applicant can resume
u se of it.
Mr. Rosenberg felt that the City should provide a detailed
e xplanation of what corrections needed to be made.
Mr. Baxter suggeted that Mr. Hutchison get in touch with the
Building Department and they would provide this information to
h im.
There was additional discussion between Council and Mr.
Rosenberg.
Councilmember Lemons felt that staff was acting appropriately and
t hat the Building Official was a professional and in his
professional opinion, the dock was unsafe.
Councilmember Risley concurred, and noted that the injunction
should not be lifted until the dock is repaired completely.
Mr. Hutchison stated that he had contacted the City previously
and had not received cooperation from City Hall.
MOTION:
Councilmember Zeuschner moved that Council set the
date for a Public Hearing for an appeal by Mr.
Hutchison to the findings of the Building Official

MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved that the Council
appropriate $300 for aid to the South County Human
Relations Commission, with a report to be requested
from them regarding disbursement. The motion was
seconded by Councilmember Risley and carried
unanimously. (5-0)

have been circulated.

letter gave, that the Council was not considering any LUP
amendments for that area. Councilmember Lemons argued that the
City was indeed considering changes.

t hat impression, but that perhaps he had misstated his point that
the City was not actively seeking changes in this area.

for the CCC for their work for the City at Coleman Park and other
recent projects.

RESPESTFULLY SUBMITTED,
PEGGY BUCHANAN
DEPUTY CITY CLERK

At our meeting of August 22nd, Councilman Risley made the
statement, and I will quote from the tape transcript of the
meeting no And if the City is going to get the respect of those
people on the waterfront, or the people in Morro Bay - not just
t he waterfront people, but the citizens out in Morro Bay, by and
large they know that - we get reports all the time, somebody
t ells you about how they went down with a brown bag and they
t ook the money and they took it over to this attorney's office
and so forth, and it's never reported. We all hear those kind
of things, we all know those. And the people in the community
know it....".
A statement like this is no more responsible than a statement
like - "We all know that the people on Piney Way cheat on their
income taxes" - basing the statement on the knowledge that a few
cases had been discovered. It is bad enough when people in the
audience make this kind of statement at Council meetings. It is
inexcusable when an elected official makes this type of statement.
It is even more disturbing to me, as a business person here in
Morro Bay, whether on the waterfront or uptown, that such an
irrational statement would come from a councilman who is the
past president and still an active member of CAL, a group which
claims to have widespread community support in Morro Bay. This
is the same group which purports to be so supportive of our
business community.
I am still as upset tonight as I was two weeks ago about
Mr. Risley's irresponsible statement. I would like to have
assumed that each of us sitting here, despite our political and
philosophical differences is working toward a better Morro Bay.
In the future I will be watching very carefully both Mr. Risley
and CAL, whose members so faithfully support Mr. Risley's
philosophies.
Respectfully submitted,
Rodger Anderson
Councilmember
