Donald F. Guluzzy, City Administrator
Michael T. LeSage, City Attorney
Elizabeth Penny, Deputy -City Clerk
Mr. Guluzzy addressed the issue that was discussed at the previous
City Council meeting concerning the validity of deputy city clerks
checking the signatures on recall and initiative petitions, rather than
the city clerk. He stated this is allowed by law.
Mr. Guluzzy reviewed the certificates of sufficiency for the two
recall petitions (Councilmen Cantine and Harmon) and the one initiative
petition (community promotions) stating that there is enough valid
signatures in favor of these matters so that they can be placed on the
election ballot.
Mr. LeSage reviewed five resolutions dealing with the election.
They were as follows: (1) Resolution calling and giving notice of
the holding of a general election to be held on April 8, 1980; (2)
Resolution requesting County of San Luis Obispo to provide specified
services to the City of Morro Bay in the conduct of the April 8, 1980
election; (3) Resolution adopting regulations for candidates for
elective office pertaining to materials submitted to electorate and
the costs involved; (4) Resolution providing for the filing of rebuttal
arguments for City measures submitted at election; and (5) Resolution
authorizing certain City Council members to file a written argument
regarding a City measure. Mr. LeSage noted that items (4) and (5) are
optional and the Council is not required to adopt these resolutions.
At 5:25 p.m. Councilman Reasor arrived.
Councilman Rosenberg asked what the latest date the initiative
petition addressing annexations should be submitted in order to be
placed on the April election ballot.
Mr. LeSage stated the petitions should probably be in no later
than December 31, 1979.
The City Council and staff discussed the cutoff date for the sub-
mittal of the initiative petition regarding annexations.

Elizabeth Penny, Deputy City Clerk
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that he would be certifying the
two recall petitions for Councilmen Cantine and Harmon and the initi-
ative petition for community promotion funds as having sufficient
signatures to be placed on the ballot.
Mr. Gaines quoted a section from the Elections Code that states
that the City Clerk must check the signatures, and not a Deputy City
Clerk. He then sited a couple of court cases that pertained to this
issue.
Mr. LeSage stated that he would have to review this matter and
research the court cases before he would be able to respond to the
issue.
The City Council and City Attorney briefly discussed what would
be involved if it was found that a City Clerk must check the signatures
and a Deputy City Clerk could not do so.
Mr. Difley stated he does not feel that the certification should
read that Donald F. Guluzzy, City Clerk, made the examination of the
signatures and found them to be sufficient, because he did not actually
do it.
Mr. Gaines stated the words used in the certification of the
initiative petition are not correct and should be revised to read:
"City of Morro Bay City Clerk's certificate to an initiative ordinance
limiting and regulating the expenditure of city funds for community
promotion purposes."
The Council concurred with the requested revision made by Mr. Gaines
and instructed staff to make the appropriate changes.

Mr. Guluzzy stated he has contacted P.O.S.T. in regards to how
they feel about using assessment centers for the selection of Police
Chiefs and they are very supportive of them. Therefore he requested
the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the expenditure of funds
for this purpose.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that Resolution No. 62-79 be read by
title only. The motion was seconded by Councilman Reasor
and carried with Councilman Cantine voting no.
Mr. Guluzzy read Resolution No. 62-79 by title only. "Resolu-
tion authorizing transfer of $4,500 from 1978/79 fund balances to

MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that Resolution No. 62-79 be adopted.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Reasor and carried
with Councilman Cantine voting no and Councilman Rosenberg
absent.
Councilman Cantine stated he voted against the resolution because
he does not feel the procedure set up is proper, matters that should
have been addressed, e.g., integrity, have been omitted, the expense
involved for a City the size of Morro Bay and in light of Proposition
13 is not justified.
Break: 5:55 p.m. Reconvened: 6:02 p.m.
Downtown Redevelopment
Richard Hill stated his firm does economic redevelopment consulting
work. The process to establish a redevelopment program is to:
(1) activate the redevelopment agency. The City Council would either
select it or select a board that would serve in this capacity; (2)
identify an area that would then be assessed to see if redevelopment
makes sense; (3) formal adoption of a plan would be done which would
stipulate what is to be done. Some of the pitfalls that the City must
face is the fact that Gann is trying to stiffle redevelopment, the
cost -factor in revitalizing an area, and Proposition 13 and 4.
At 6:30 p.m. Mayor Shelton had to leave the meeting.
Mr. Risley expressed concern about whether senior citizen sites
and centers would be addressed in the redevelopment proposal/plan.
Mr. Gaines questioned whether the redevelopment could include
the north Morro Bay area also, or only the downtown/Embarcadero area.
Mr. Hill stated it would be best if it was done separately.

Mayor Shelton stated the Council requested the Parks and Recreation
Commission to examine the process for the naming of parks. The Commis-
sion has chosen to hold off doing this and is still recommending that
Del Mar Park be changed to Roger Silacci Park.
Councilman Reasor stated he is concerned about naming public
facilities after individuals, but would not mind naming events after
people. The Parks and Recreation Commission should have taken time
to develop a policy for the naming of parks.
Councilman Harmon stated that he somewhat agrees with Councilman
Reasor. He suggested as an alternative to naming a park after Roger
Silacci that the baseball field or a particular event be named after
him.
Mayor Shelton stated the City has already set a precedent for
naming parks, e.g. Keiser Park and Monte Young Park. Therefore, the
Parks and Recreation Commission did not feel it was inconsistent with
their past actions. Mayor Shelton stated he would recommend this
matter be continued to the next meeting to allow for additional public
input.
Mr. Getty stated the Parks and Recreation Commission voted unani-
mously to rename Del Mar Park to Roger Silacci Park, and it should not
be shelved and put off. The City already has a precedent of naming
parks after people.
The City Council requested that staff research the naming of Del
Mar Park further to see if it was originally named by an ordinance and
if changing the name would require an ordinance revision.
Mayor Shelton requested this matter be scheduled for a public
hearing at the January 14, 1980 City Council meeting. The Council
concurred.
C-4 Resolution No. 56-79 adopting Capital Improvement Program for
fiscal year 1979/80.

following budget items that would be approved: Water Management Study,

Improvements.
MOTION: Councilman Harmon moved that Resolution No. 56-79 be read

D. HEARINGS,.APPEARANCES, AND REPORTS
D-1 Report by Morro Bay Motel Association concerning Community Pro-
motions for the City of Morro Bay.
Fred Smith, President of the -Motel Association, stated the Asso-
ciation feels that the City of Morro Bay could best be promoted by
placing monthly, 1/4 page advertisements in Sunset Magazine. The use
of billboards along the highway advertising Morro Bay is also a good
way to attract people to the City. He noted there are two such bill-
boards --one east of Paso Robles and one north of Paso Robles. Mr. Smith
stated the Motel Association would be willing to discuss newspaper,
radio, and television advertisements with the City, but that they feel
the use of Sunset Magazine and billboards will bring the largest re-
sponse. Mr. Smith requested the Council provide $4,500 to pay for the
billboard signs and $32,841 to pay for the advertisements in the Sunset
Magazine for one year.
Tina Francis stated that she feels that people -to -people adver-
tising is the best. As long as the motels provide good service, than
that is the best advertising.
Mayor Shelton noted that it would be necessary to development some
way to document whether this type of advertising effectively works at
drawing people to Morro Bay. He then stated that he would like to see
concrete data backing up the request, and whether year-round advertising
is necessary or not. The Council concurred and requested this infor-
mation for the January 14, 1980 meeting.
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the City Council deny the Motel
Association's request for funds for the purpose of Community
Promotions. The motion was seconded by Mayor Shelton and
carried with Councilman Rosenberg absent.
Break: 10:20 p.m. Reconvened: 10:30 p.m.
D-2 Public Hearing: Morro Bay Garbage request for rate increase.
Pat Wagner of Morro Bay Garbage stated the rates have not been
increased since February, 1975. Fuel and operation costs have doubled
and Morro Bay Garbage can no longer keep up with the tremendous growth
in expenses. Mr. Wagner stated he would like for everyone to go to
curb service.
Mayor Shelton stated because this rate increase has not been
reviewed by staff, that he would like for it to be scheduled for the
January 14, 1980 meeting. The Council concurred.

D-3 Public Hearing: Appeal of Planning Commission decision by
Robert J. Blake regarding extension of conditional use permit
for residence/office complex at 464 Main Street.
Mr. Gurnee stated staff and the Planning Commission strongly
feel this project is inconsistent with the Land Use Element and
General Plan. He then stated if the Council upholds the appeal,
then staff would request the matter be referred back to the Planning
Commission for re -design and consideration.
Mr. Blake reviewed a letter to the Council dated November 14,
1979 which provided the background of the original application for a
use permit, the circumstances surrounding his request for an exten-
sion on the use permit, and how he feels the proposed project meets
the General Plan's stated goals.
Councilmen Harmon and Reasor stated they would support the
Planning Commission's recommendation.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the Planning Commission decision
be upheld based on the following findings: (1) that the
project is inconsistent with the Land Use Element of the
General Plan and (2) that the project would allow the en-
croachment of office uses further south from the downtown
area. The motion was seconded by Councilman Cantine and
carried with Councilman Rosenberg absent.
D-4 Public Hearing: Ordinance No. 174 to allow home occupations to
be approved administratively rather than by Council approval.
Mr. Gurnee reviewed the proposed Home Occupation Ordinance with
the Council noting the general requirements for home occupations,
home occupations that would be prohibited and the enforcement.
Councilmen Cantine and Reasor stated they would like a provision
within the ordinance that would allow for people to appeal a decision
made by the Community Development Director to the Planning Commission.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that Ordinance No. 174 be amended to
reflect an appeal process of the Community Development
Director's decision to the Planning Commission. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Cantine and carried with Council-
man Rosenberg absent.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that Ordinance No. 174 as amended, be
read by title only. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Cantine and carried with Councilman Rosenberg absent.

Councilman Cantine stated that he would like for the Mayor to
designate a Councilman to serve on the Water Advisory Committee and
the Transportation Committee as of January 1, 1980, because he would
be resigning from serving on these committees.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like for the Council to think
about whether they would like to serve on either of the committees
and let him know as soon as possible so that he could appoint the
representative to the committees.
Mayor Shelton asked what the status of the lease law request was.
Mr. LeSage stated the matter needs to be scheduled for a City
Council meeting for discussion.
Mayor Shelton requested that staffreview the City Attorney's
memo concerning the lease law to see if there are any alternatives
available to the City, and if so, to schedule it for a hearing in
January.
Mayor Shelton read a resolution into the record from the League
of California Cities regarding the 2% sales tax, wherein it is being
requested this matter be placed upon the City's ballot for the election.
He requested staff research this and see what alternatives are avail-
able to having an advisory election.
Mayor Shelton stated he has seen the same people requesting in-
formation from the City for quite some time and asked if they have
been going through the City Administrator and how much City staff
time is being spent on providing this information. He then requested
that the City Administrator ask the various departments for a report
concerning this matter. The Council concurred.

Mayor Shelton asked what alternatives are available to the City.

with the assistance of Farmer's Home Administration.
At.6:15 p.m. Councilman Harmon arrived.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that the Council should consider creating a
harbor district or port authority. If the harbor is self-sufficient
then it will not impact upon the City's taxpayers and the users would
pay for the system.

Mayor Shelton suggested that the residents pay half of the cost
and the City pay half of the cost. This matter should be put before
the citizens to vote upon.
Mr. Guluzzy stated the Dial -A -Ride system needs to be looked at
to see whether it is cost-effective. Electric buses and fixed routes
also needed to be looked into.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that staff be directed to develop
a resolution to be presented at the December 10, 1979 City

(1) Police Chief Selection Process
Don Guluzzy stated that December 15th was the final filing
date for Police Chief candidates to submit their resumes for
consideration. Mr. Guluzzy stated that he would hope that the
final appointment would be made by January 5, 1980.
The City Administrator stated that he still did not know
the desire of the Council as far as proceeding with an assessment
center approach for the hiring process for the Police Chief. If
this technique is utilized, then Mr. Guluzzy stated that he would
need additional time to prepare the information that would be
required. Mr. Guluzzy explained that he had already received two
proposals for conducting an assessment center: one was from
Cooperative Personnel Services and the other was from Alternative
Management Services. A third proposal is yet to come in.
Mayor Shelton expressed his only concern with this process
was if there was a way to screen the final candidates to determine
if their interest was serious and would they accept the appointment
if it were offered to them. Mr. Guluzzy responded that to date,
54 applications had already been received, and that he had begun
the screening process over the weekend. He stated that 20 of the
candidates were top notch and had extensive experience. Mr. Guluzzy
further stated that he would conduct investigation reports on the
top 3 candidates before the final choice was made.
Mt. Guluzzy stated that it would cost approximately between
$2,200 and $3,800 to conduct an assessment center. A cost of
$4,500 would also include food, lodging, and travel expenses for
the candidates.

Mayor Shelton stated that he did not have any negative
feelings regarding the assessment center approach and the
Council concurred. The Council then gave direction.fo_ the_Cty
Administrator to place this item on the December 10, 1979 agenda
to get approval for a budget transfer of funds.
Councilman Rosenberg asked how the interviewing schedule would
go? Mr. Guluzzy stated that the candidates would spend two days
with a professional firm to obtain psychological examinations on
December 17th & 18th and then on December 19th, would be interviewed
by the City Administrator and the City Council.
Mayor Shelton opened the meeting to public comment.
Ruth Blanco, S.E.I.U. representative, stated that she knows
the representative from Alternative Management Services and feels
that his low bid is due to the fact that this is a new firm and
that they are probably looking for work. However, she is concerned
about his lack of experience and whether he would do the kind of job
that we are looking for. Ms. Blanco stated that if the City is
going to use the assessment center approach, then we should consider
paying a little more but getting well qualified people who are
experienced in providing this kind of service.
(2) City Administrator Status Report:
(a) Topics for Second City Newsletter to be published
The second newsletter will be published in the Sun -Bulletin.
Potential topics for consideration include:
1. Biographies of department heads
2. New complaint system and telephone system
3. Property Maintenance Code
4. 10% Design Report
5. Result of responses from first newsletter survey
6. Recruitment of Police Chief
7. Capital Improvement Program
8. Local Coastal Plan
9. Citizen Involvement and Participation (i.e. Harbor
Advisory Committee)
10. JPA - Medical/Dental Benefits
Councilman Reasor arrived at 5:30 p.m.
The City Administrator asked for feedback from the Council
regarding the topic suggestions for the next newsletter.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Study Session 11/28/79
Page 3.
Councilman Rosenberg suggested that the next issue focus on
organizational aspects of the City: how the City is organized,
who heads the departments and what the department does, how they
handle'complaints, and telephone numbers for various departments.
Councilman Rosenberg also suggested that we have a summary column
in which items can be listed that are currently going on within
the City but don't have room to cover in the newsletter. He
suggested that if people want more information on a certain topic,
a specific person and/or telephone number could be listed for them
to contact.
Councilman Reasor suggested that perhaps the Veteran's Hall
could be reserved and citizens in the community could be invited
to meet the City Council and City Staff. He would like to see the
newsletter used for those items that are coming up in the near
future and for the purpose of keeping the citizens informed and
covering those issues that are not covered by the local newspapers.
We should be discussing the long term projects that will affect
the community.
Mayor Shelton then asked what the newsletter should cover?
Councilman Reasor stated that it should cover the Local Coastal
Plan, the J.P.A. and the 10% Design Report (only on projected costs).
He also stated that he does not want to see biographies covered
in the newsletter of City.Staff. He suggested that another format
could be used --a handout could be prepared and left on the front
counter for people to pick-up.
Councilman Harmon stated that he did not want to see the J.P.A.
or 10% Design Report included because he felt that there had already
been sufficient coverage.
Mayor Shelton stated we should discuss the various departments
and the chain of command of staff and what each department does.
The Mayor asked for a consensus of the Council. The following
topics were decided upon for coverage in the next newsletter:
1. New complaint system and telephone system
2. Property Maintenance Code
3. Citizen Involvement and Participation
4. J.P.A.
*5. Description of Department Heads
*The Mayor suggested this topic as an alternate story, if there
is room in the next newsletter.
Councilman Rosenberg stated that he feels the departments are
not equipped to handle lots of citizens inquiries.

It was the consensus of the City Council to include all of the
topics that were suggested in the next newsletter.
Councilman Rosenberg stated that he would like to review the
text of the next newsletter before it goes out. Councilmen Harmon
and Reasor agreed. Mr. Guluzzy stated that he has no problem with
this request other than the time deadline and getting the Council
to agree if a change needs to be made. Councilman Rosenberg requested
that the Council be given a copy of the newsletter so that they could
note any changes which they felt needed to be made. If the City
Council and/or City Administrator do not agree on a suggested change,
it must come back to the Council for a vote. Councilman Rosenberg
stated that he really objected to one of the sentences in the first
newsletter, and he would have voted against the newsletter ever going
out. The consensus of the Council was to try this method or review.
Councilman Rosenberg stated that he may suggest a change and the City
Administrator would agree with it, but that the rest of the Council
would not see that change until after the newsletter would come out.
He stated that this could be a problem but that he was willing to take
his chances.
(b) Police Chief Selection Process - Timetable & Reorganization
The City Administrator stated that there is currently 19 employees
within the Police Department. In a report that was submitted by P.O.S.T.,
they recommended 18 full-time personnel.
Mayor Shelton requested that the proposed reorganization be
postpones until the June budget session. Councilman Reasor agreed.
Mr. Guluzzy stated we should have two patrol officers in the
field on each shift and we are currently down to one officer which
means there is little coverage on the north end of town. An additional
officer would provide another patrol officer in the field and would
relieve the Police Chief from having to serve as a back-up officer.
Chief Castle stated that he conducted a survey of 10 cities of
comparable size and that Morro Bay is the furthest behind in
numbers of personnel.
Mr. Guluzzy presented a breakdown of the department as follows:
(1) Police Chief, (4) Sergeants, (2) Investigators, (7) Police Officers,
(4) Dispatchers, and (1) Typist Clerk
Mr. Guluzzy stated that under the current proposal, the personnel
would be reorganized as follows:
(1) Police Chief, (4) Sergeants, (2) Investigators, (8) PoliceCOf%ficers,
(4) Dispatchers
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Study Session 11/28/79
Page 5.
Mr. Guluzzy clarified that Dale Salyer was not included in
either of these two breakdowns. Chief Castle stated that the
grant that Dale Salyer is working under is going very well and there
is good reason to believe that the grant will continue. Therefore,
it is not expected that he will return to the department for at least 2-3
years or maybe not at all.
Councilman Reasor expressed his concern about the grant position
terminating and then not having an open slot for Dale Salyer to return
to within the department. Mr. Guluzzy and Chief Castle agreed that
attrition would probably take care of that. Chief Castle stated that
the officer he has in mind for this additional position would probably
accept the appointment on a temporary basis based upon those conditions.
Councilman Rosenberg stated that what we need to look at is the
proper staffing level for the department 8 patrol officers. He stated
we need to look at what it takes to get the work done. Chief Castle
stated that most of the complaints received are traffic control problems
and that they are occurring because he is unable to field (2) police
officers in the day adequately to cover the problems arising during
the day.
Councilman Reasor stated that he would like to see the P.O.S.T.
survey report that was done. Mr. Guluzzy stated the he would get back
to the Council with this information.
Mayor Shelton had to leave the meeting at 6:15 p.m. and appointed
Council Reasor as Mayor Pro Tempore in his absence.
Chief Castle stated that if you are not involved in shift work,
that it is very difficult to understand the needs of a department on
a 24 hour basis. Chief Castle stated that his recommendation was for
at least 8 officers to get the job done adequately. He said he could
get by with 7 officers but that he could not provide 2 officers in
the field at all times.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that he would like to have a special meeting
on December 20th to discuss the telephone bids. The Council concurred.
(c) Annual Report
Mr. Guluzzy stated that he is still working on the Annual Report
and that he would discuss it later.
(d) Recall Petitions
Mr. Guluzzy stated that he wanted to keep the Council informed
on the recall and that petitions had been received today and that
Elizabeth would begin the task of verifying the signatures on Monday,
December 3, 1979.

he had met with all three union representatives and other members
of the city staff in an open meeting with a representative from
Kindler & Laucci to discuss their proposal for Medical/Dental benefits.
(f) Program Budget
Councilman Reasor asked that the Finance Director work up

(h) Initiative for Community Promotion Spending Limitation
Mr. Guluzzy stated that he had not heard a thing on this item.
He also said that he assumed that the Mayor had written a letter but
that he would check into the matter.
Councilman Rosenberg asked what the status of the Citizen's
Advisory Committee was? He stated that the Council has not received
any word from that committee in some time and stated that he would
like to get a report from them on the formation of the Promotion's
Committee.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that he would like to have a Special Meeting
held on December 3rd (Monday) at 5:30 p.m. in the Conference Room

B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS ,
B-1 Senior Citizens' Center Lease Agreement.
Mr. Guluzzy discussed the seniors citizens' lease agreement and stated
that the Board of Directors of the Morro Bay Senior Citizens, Inc. had agreed
to furnish personnel for telephone reference service; the publication of a monthly
newsletter. The newsletter would include a listing of all programs and activities
available to senior citizens at the facility, the keeping of records as required
by the Park and Recreation Department concerning use of public buildings and
grounds.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that the City Park and Recreation Department would
agree to furnish janitorial service for the maintenance of the center and if
the need arose, for expansion and the acquisition of funds, the Seniors would
be permitted by the City Council of Morro Bay to pursue the modifications in
accordance with all applicable codes.
Mr. Guluzzy informed the Council as to the use of the present senior
citizens center. The center would be used by other organizations within the
city when not in use by the seniors.
The seniors had been before the County Board of Supervisor's with a
request for appropriation. The Supervisor's agreed to appropriate $6,000 for
1979/80 provided they have a ten (10) year agreement with the city.
City Attorney, Mike Le Sage, stated the lease with the seniors represents
a departure from a typical city lease. Insurance provided from lessee and
indemnity in favor of the city. In this case, the city is maintaining the
premises to insure that if injury is incurred, the city will be liable. Mr. Le Sage
stated that this is not written into a typical lease. He also noted that the city
will be providing both maintenance and utilities.
Mayor Shelton stated that the representatives of the Senior Citizens
have worked together to provide for themselves a place to get together. There
is an opportunity to move into a more centralized location and the Mayor felt
this was a step in the right direction.
Molly Bruno, representative for the senior citizens, stated the seniors
were very agreeable to what the city had presented.
Mr. Gaines asked if a letter could perhaps be written by the Mayor to
guarantee the ten year lease for the seniors. In this way, they would be
assured of the city's intent in regards to the center.
MINUTES - MORRO :BAY •Y COUNCIL •
November 26, 1979

Mr. Guluzzy stated that the guarantee was in affect as long as all
requirements are met by the city and the seniors.
MOTION: Councilman Reasor moved that the City Administrator and Mayor be
authorized to sign this Lease Agreement. The City Administrator
or Mayor be directed to send a letter to the Board of Supervisors
indicating the city's intent to provide a senior citizens center
for the next ten years. The motion carried unanimously by roll
call vote with Councilmen Cantine and Rosenberg being absent.
B-2 Harbor Advisory Board's recommendation regarding Harbor Patrol
Officer.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that the recommendation for the Harbor Patrol Officer
did not come from the Harbor Advisory Committee. As directed by Council, staff
reviewed public safety along the waterfront and sent their report to Council.
Staff felt the cost of between $10,000 and $12,000 without any benefit to the
city did not warrant the patrol officer status. The area discussed in the
report recommended the communication problem be resolved with the use of "walkie
talkies", change of schedules to allow a police officer to be available for the
night duty, and the possible change of title to patrol officer.
Councilman Harmon asked if this would constitute overtime funds or
would this be taken in by the regular schedule.
Mr. Guluzzy stated this would have to be negotiated, although there
would probably be some additional monies expended.
Mayor Shelton asked if any data on burglaries and offenses had been taken
near the harbor. He also noted that without the ability to carry firearms it
is difficult to apprehend a suspect.
Discussion followed pertaining to rescheduling within the Police
Department, the possible need for additional employees, and crime increase on the
waterfront. It was stated by Mr. Cliff Smith of the Harbor Advisory Committee
that it was not the Harbor Board that had recommended the patrol officer and
the board was surprised to see themselves as the recommending body.
Mayor Shelton asked that the Harbor Committee look at this analysis and
recommend their findings to the Council.
Mr. Smith stated looking at the status the peace officer has, issuance
of citations, etc., committee will be coming up with some recommendation along
this line.
Mr. Ron Baglor spoke from the audience and informed the Council that
he was the owner of a boat that had recently been broken into. He stated his
agreement to the hiring of a night watchman, if only to let people know that
someone is present.
Councilman Reasor stated he would like to follow staff's recommendation
on this item.

C. NEW BUSINESS
C-1 Extension of Time of Construction under Lease for Slip Sites Located
South of T-Pier.
Mr. Ray Gallo stated that the lease provides for a plan to be submitted
to the Council and then approval of that plan along with submission to involved
agencies, such as the Corp of Engineers. Approval for extension to be completed
by December, 1979. Leaseholders must construct improvements as planned and as
permits given or thelease would be lost. Mr. Gallow asked for continuance for
at least 90 days. If the Council agrees to follow suggested settlement of the
entire problem, extension of time would have to be more considerable. Mr. Gallo
stated they are trying to get together the total package and the 90 day extension
should be sufficient.
Councilman Reasor asked if rent had been paid on the lease site other
than the T-Pier.
Mr. Gallo.• indicated that it had.
Mayor Shelton stated that he could support an extension of 30 or 60
days and noted that if the city and Mr. Gallo arrived at an impasse, Mr. Gallo
would probably opt for some kind of construction program.
Mr. Gallo stated that if the city could act on the proposal within
30 days he and his colleagues would be ready.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that time for construction of the lease site
located south of the T-Pier be extended 60 days from December 31,
1979.
Councilman Harmon asked for justification that the proposal would be
ready no later than the extended time period.
Mr. Gallo stated that the proposal before the Council was justification
in itself. The city felt it was a misuse of the area and it was at the city's
instigation and request that discussion was even brought up.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Reasor and carried unanimously
by roll call vote with Councilmen Cantine and Rosenberg being absent.
C-2 Ordinance No. 171 Adopting Various Uniform Codes. (Recommend Approval)

C-3 Amendment to Community Transit SerVices,'Inc' Agreement.(Recommend Approval)
Mr. Guluzzy stated that this item to be heard was an amendment to
the existing contract the city has with Community Transit Services, Inc. to pay
for the cost of the maintenance and operation for the run to Cambria via Cayucos.
Basically what this agreement deals with is an amendment to the old contract
and brings it up to full "snuff" with the new one. The agreement talks about a
$7,100 increase on a cost plus basis.
Mr. Guluzzy stated the service is five days a week, Monday through
Friday, with a run on Saturday and is spelled out in the contract: three round
trips daily, Monday through Friday via Cayucos; no service on Sunday or on the
following holidays: New Years Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Councilman Reasor stated that he would like to know what the city's
cost would be for this service. He understood that the county would be bearing
a good deal of the cost.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that the City of Morro Bay would be paying $6,048
plus 10% and a $504 plus 10% in effect. What this represents is the city's share
of the 225 funding.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved for the amendment to the agreement with
Community Transit Services, Inc. as recommended by staff. Motion
was seconded by Councilman Reasor and carried unanimously by roll
call vote with Councilmen Cantine and Rosenberg being absent.

D-2 Bay Ambulance Request for Mileage Rate Increase
Mr. Guluzzy stated that the city has received a request from Bay
Ambulance for a rate increase of 60t. Mr. Guluzzy made mention of the gas rate
increase over the past year and the present rates as charged by San Luis
Ambulance, Five Cities, North County, Professional and Bay Ambulance Service.
The 60t mileage rate increase request is per patient mile and actual operational
mileage is more than twice the patient mileage. The City Council was asked to
note also that the collections of patient billings is about 70%.
The hearing was open to the public.
Mr. Howard Gaines, speaking from the audience, asked if Medicare did
not pay for ambulance service.
Mr. Barker of the Bay Ambulance Service stated that 80% of allowable
charges are paid. On allowable charges, if an ambulance run is okayed by Medicare,
they will pay 80% of the fee.
Mayor Shelton questioned Mr. Barker, as to what Medicare allows for a
run to San Luis Obispo.
Mr. Barker stated that Medicare would pay back about 50% of what
the present bill would be.
Mayor Shelton asked for staff recommendation.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that the request looked,reas'onable-- rates and costs
have risen in the past year -- both he and Mr. McGonagill, Finance Director, agreed
that it is a request that should be given Council approval.
Mr. McGonagill stated that the city did not ask for a complete analysis
because Mr. Barker provided a profit and loss statement the previous year.

D-3 Community Housing Ordinance No. 173.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that this is the second hearing on this Ordinance.
A draft was presented at the last Council meeting; this document presented
tonight reflects all changes asked by the Council.
Mr. Gurnee, Community Development Director, stated this third draft
contains rewording shown in italics as well as provisions deleted. Mr. Gurnee
stated that one problem area was the requirement that a finding be made that
vacancies in the units proposed for conversion have not been created or increased
for the purpose of preparing the building for a Community Housing Conversion
Project. Mr. Gurnee stressed that this is an important finding. It must be
recognized that the finding could not be made if eviction of tenants is for the
purpose of conversion.
Hearing was open to the public
Mr. Bruce Risley, speaking from the audience, asked if the proposed
ordinance protects the people of Morro Bay any more than Coastal Commission
guidelines.
Mr. Gurnee stated that the current guidelines with the Coastal Commi-
ssion is that 25% of the units of 16 or more are to be for low to moderate
income. Coastal Commission guidelines are more restrictive than this. Notifi-
cation, tenant rights -- we have more than Coastal Commission requires.
Councilman Reasor stated that from his readings, it seemed the City of
San Luis Obispo is far more protective of the tenant than Morro Bay.
Mr. Gurnee stated they have a stronger provision as to whether conversion
should be allowed at all. This does not affect tenant protection.
Councilman Harmon mentioned one small revision in the first section,
letter K. Mr. Harmon suggested that the word "clear" be inserted so as to have
the stipulation read "Provide owners and landlords of apartments with clear pro-
cedures and rules they can use to initiate community housing conversion projects.
It was unanimously agreed by the council to have this change made.
Mr. Harmon also stated his feeling for voting against the entire ordi-
nance stating that he felt there was no problem with the current number of housing
rentals within the city.
Mayor Shelton stated the importance for a first reading at the present
and a second reading at the next meeting.

Administrative Assistance Request
Mr. Guluzzy reviewed five alternatives relating to the hiring of
.ministrative Assistant with the Council.
Councilman Cantine expressed concern with the request stating he
would like to see an additional alternative, that being the person
hired be a part of the Department of Finance and Administration. This
would then lower the salary. He stated he does not want approximately
$25,000 to go for salary, but that he would support this money being
utilized for a "grants effort".
Councilman Harmon stated he would support alternative #1.
Mayor Shelton stated that he disagrees with the rationale used
as a basis for formulating the salary. He did not feel that Morro Bay
should be compared to cities that have a population of 20,000.
Councilman Rosenberg stated that he has a problem with putting
this additional person into an already existing department. He felt
this would be inefficient and would add to the Finance Director's al-
ready overburden of work.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that the City Administrator be
authorized to hire an administrative assistant at a salary
not to exceed $20,462.26. Duties will consist of risk
management, grantsmanship, general administrative responsi-
bilities as needed by administrator, and personnel activities,
but will not assume direct supervision over any department.
City Administrator is authorized to transfer $20,462.26 from
Parks and Recreation budget to Department of Administrative
Services. The motion was seconded by Councilman Harmon.

Councilman Cantine stated that he objects to the motion and does
not see the necessity of adding an additional department to the
hierarchy of the City.
The motion carried with Councilmen Cantine and Reasor voting
no.
Police Department Staff and Budget Transfer
Mr. Guluzzy recommended (1) the Council authorize staff to trans-
fer the Clerk Typist III from the Police Department to the Department
of Administrative Services and (2) authorize $6,875.00 for personnel
costs to hire an eighth police officer for patrol and transfer one
existing police officer to perform records work, dispatching, and other
administrative duties and responsibilities, and $900.00 for a new
typewriter to be added to the Administrative Services budget.
Mayor Shelton stated since this is not a long-term permanent change
in the Police Department that he would support the recommendation. The
circumstances involved here warrant this change and the Police Depart-
ment will operate more efficiently with this modification.
Councilmen Reasor and Cantine expressed concern with the hiring
of an additional police officer on a temporary basis because the police
chief would naturally want to strengthen the department as much as
possible and would not want to give up the officer at a later date.
Councilman Harmon stated he would support the proposal as recom-
mended by staff.
Councilman Rosenberg stated when he rode in the patrol car he be-
came more aware of the responsibilities and duties of the patrol officers.
He stated the City is understaffed. Every time a silent alarm goes off
two officers must report and then write up a report. Councilman Rosenberg
stated there was some type of call every 15-20 minutes.
Councilman Reasor stated he rode in a patrol car during the week
and the unit did not receive one call.
Mayor Shelton stated after additional consideration and dilibera-
tion of the issue that he had changed his mind. P.O.S.T. did a study
for the City stating that six patrol officers were adequate for the
City. He asked in light of Proposition 13 and 4 can the City justify
the need the an of patrol officer since Morro Bay already has eight.
MOTION: Councilman Harmon moved that the City Council authorize
the City Administrator to transfer the Clerk Typist III
from the Police Department to the Department of Administrative
Services and authorize $6,875.00 for personnel costs and
$900.00 for new typewriter to be added to the Administrative
Services budget from the General Fund 1978/79 balance. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Reasor.

fore item (3) "Municipal Services Incorporated proposal for potential

celled.
(1) City Administrator's Request for Administrative Assistance.

the following: (1) the purpose and duties of the position, (2) pro-
posed salary range, (3) qualifications of the position, and (4) role
of the city administrator.
Mayor Shelton and Mr. Guluzzy discussed the proposed salary range
for the administrative assistant position and how it relates to the
salary of department heads.
Councilman Reasor arrived at 5:27 p.m.
Councilman Cantine stated (1) he feels the proposal is a very poor
structure for the City; (2) it is not in keeping with the Spirit of 13
of cutting down on personnel and overhead; (3) that the things that the
City Administrator states he would be able to do should be done by
the various department heads; and (4) he does not feel the position's
duties and responsibilities warrant the proposed salary.
Councilman Cantine and Mr. Guluzzy discussed in detail the func-
tion and title of the position proposed.
Councilman Rosenberg stated (1) he feels the position is warranted;
(2) the Council should draw up guidelines and goals for the proposed
position, and (3) that the ultimate choice should be left with the city
administrator.

(2) he wants the other City department heads to have the opportunity to

choose; (3) an account clerk III could be hired to do the grantsmanship;
and (4) Proposition 13 needs to be considered.

Mayor Shelton stated (1) the Council must realize that there is
work that needs to be done; (2) Mr. Guluzzy has made a recommendation
concerning the accomplishment of these tasks; (3) the Council could
assess in six months whether the tasks as outlined are being completed
as anticipated; (4) he would like to see the request scheduled for a
public hearing; and (5) the salary should be looked at closely as it
relates to being at a level of department heads.
Mayor Shelton and Councilman Reasor expressed concern about the
proposed salary being at a level of a department head, and yet nog
having to be in a supervising capacity.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he would like to use the assessment center pro-
cess in selecting the Chief of Police. The center would serve as an
oral board, screen the applicants down to the top 15 and then to the
top 6, run them through various management exercises; and then rank the
candidates. The cost would be about $3,800.00 if CPS performed the
work.
Councilman Cantine expressed concern in the area of organizational
crime stating he would like to see the candidate's evaluated and checked
out in this area. He then stated he would like for the City Administrator
to provide a list of the successive steps that will be involved in the
selection process of the Police Chief.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the use of an assessment center would
draw out information that cannot be obtained from resumes and role-
playing situations are used as a tool. He then stated because Morro
Bay is a small city it is very important that the Police Chief possess
certain qualities. The Council should make a list of the things that
they would like to see in a Chief of Police.
Mayor Shelton stated this matter should be scheduled for a Regular
Council Meeting and a calendar of events provided to the Council.

covenant did not conform'to the City code and also that approval of
the covenant by the City Council should only become effective upon
approval by the Coastal Commission.
Mrs. Kolb and Mr. LeSage reviewed and discussed the various
aspects outlined in the letter dated November 13, 1979 from Joanne
Fenton, Attorney for Mrs. Kolb.
Mr. Myers stated that he had an agreement with his brother
and that they decided they wanted to split the property because
they each wanted to build a house. The covenant agreement ties
the parking together in a joint agreement.

Councilman Rosenberg expressed concern with the City acquiring
the right-of-way considering the trade-off the City will be getting.
He did not feel it was a fair stipulation to place upon Mr. Myers.
Councilman Cantine expressed concern that the necessary access
is not provided on the property.
Councilman Reasor stated he feels the City's ordinance is
specific as it relates to the Planning Commission looking at the
adequacy/inadequacy of parking, and should therefore be followed.
Mayor Shelton expressed concern with the entire project because
he felt the covenant agreement is still a fragment of the original
proposal. He felt the covenant and restrictions should be examined
by the Planning Commission. Mayor Shelton also stated this matter
must be looked at from a long-term standpoint. He concluded his
comments stating the Planning Commission is established for the pur-
pose of reviewing these types of things and making recommendations
to the City Council, therefore, he felt the Commission should be
given the opportunity to do so.
Mr. Gurnee stated at the previous Council meeting it was deter-
mined that the Meyers' residence should proceed and the garage con-
struction should be put into an overall master plan. As a condition
of lifting the stop -work order covenants should be developed and signed.
He stated that all uses and the landscaping would have to be so noted
in the Master Plan.
Mayor Shelton expressed concern with the development of the
covenants not incorporating the restrictions concerning the garage.
He did not feel that the Master Plan would be sufficient to insure
that this was done.
Mr. Gurnee stated if the Meyers did not complete the garage as
it will be outlined in the Master Plan, then they would not receive
their entitlements.
Councilman Harmon stated that any objections he had previously
have been worked out and that he feels there is sufficient leverage
within the requirements of the Master Plan to insure that the neces-
sary work is completed.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that the agreements be approved
and the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign them
relative to the Meyers' holdings as amended. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Harmon.

Councilman Cantine stated there is no reason that the house
should be held up any longer. He also stated that he feels the pro-
visions of providing parking is the only suitable use for the land
as it relates to the Tidelands and the Marina. Councilman Cantine
said he would vote for the motion reluctantly because he does not
want to set a precedent, but that he does want to insure that permanent
access and parking in a situation like this merits priority action. He
concluded his comments stating before the Council grants any Tidelands
lease that the Council should achieve permanent access and the parking
required for the Tidelands.
The motion carried by roll call vote with Mayor Shelton voting no.
D. HEARINGS, APPEARANCES, AND REPORTS
D-1 City Administrator's report re: newspaper's alleged staff morale
problem and City Council meddling.
Mr. Guluzzy advised Council that he had met with the City's de-
partment heads and City Hall staff concerning the above and submitted
the following results: (1) overall morale in City Hall is not low,
but the anti -government mode engendered by Prop 13, recession, and
high inflation have created a negative atmosphere have made the tasks
of working in government more difficult and trying; (2) the absence
of department heads during the transition phase of the City caused
staff concerns; (3) the need for the City Council and City Administrator
to address their respective roles; and (4) the role of citizen ad -hoc
committees.
Mayor Shelton recommended the City Council accept the report and
instruct the City Administrator to submit additional information as
it becomes available. The City Council concurred.
Break: 9:40 p.m. Reconvened: 9:48 p.m.
D-2 Public Hearing: Community Housing Ordinance No. 173
Mr. Gurnee reviewed the ordinance with the City Council noting
that the Council's corrections proposed at the November 5, 1979
meeting had been incorporated. He expressed concern with Section
17.49.070.B containing a "loophole" relating to vacancies occuring
from expiration of lease or eviction of tenants, the Planning Commis-
sion would not be able to find that these vacancies were purposely
created to allow the conversion.
The City Council discussed the ordinance in great length making
recommended changes.

D-1 Police Chief Executive Ad -Hoc Committee Report.
Grace Hedges, of the Police Chief Executive Ad -Hoc Committee read
into the record the Committee's report based upon their meeting of
October 15, 1979. She noted the members of the committee; provided an
overview of the present Police Department; discussed the development
of a profile for filing the position of Chief of Police noting the
qualities to look for in the person; and the publications that the
position should be advertised in.
Mayor Shelton stated he would send letters to the members of the
Committee thanking them for their efforts.
Councilman Cantine stated he is concerned with a couple of areas
that have not been addressed by the Committee which are: the drug
problem in the Morro Bay High School and all youth activities. He
then stated in addition to the Ad -Hoc Committee's report, he would like
for a group of professionals to make recommendations to the Council
of qualities to look for in a Chief of Police. Councilman Cantine
concluded his comments stating that he would like to devote a portion
of a City Council meeting or Executive Session to discuss this matter
to make sure the Council has all of the professional guidance in
making the selection of Chief of Police.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL

Mayor Shelton stated the City's ordinance reads that the City
Administrator shall make the final selection of Chief of Police. He
then stated he does not feel the City Administrator should have the
sole authority to make the final selection. The City Council should
give specific and concrete direction as to what kind of a Chief of
Police the Council wants.
Councilman Rosenberg suggested that the Council develop a profile
on the Chief of Police position, pass it by resolution, and provide it
to the administrator for guidance.
Mrs. Hedges stated the committee did discuss the drug problem,
but did not feel a step-by-step report of each individual area should
be done, but provided more general qualitites.
Councilman Reasor requested the Deputy City Clerk research the
September 12, 1979 minutes and/or tape to see if there was an actual
vote taken and the composition of the vote as it relates to who will
make the selection of Chief of Police. The Council concurred.
E. INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 City Council
Councilman Rosenberg stated he rode with the police patrol on
Saturday and suggested that the other Councilmembers take advantage
of this. It was not only educational as to what the Police Depart-
ment does, but it assisted in seeing what some of the problems the
Police are faced with, how they deal with them, and the courteous
attitude the officers have.
Councilman Rosenberg addressed the issue of curb parking in front
of the theatre. The Council's original objective was to maintain
two hour parking during the day, and have a loading zone only when the
theatre was open. The Council directed staff to paint the curb green
and initiate an ordinance revision that would effect this change.
It turns out that the ordinance already exists and it is Section
10.36.120 entitled "Curb Markings". There is an amendment to the
section dealing with a white (loading) zone that states: "a loading
zone in front of a theatre is not applicable when the theatre is
closed." The problem is, if the Council goes back and paints the curb
white, most people are not aware of the section in the City's ordinanc
as stated above, and will treat it as a loading zone and the Council
will have the same problem as before. Councilman Rosenberg then sug-
gested that the curb be painted white again, but post a sign clari-
fying the City's intent.
The Council discussed with John Bressan the historical use of the
parking in front of the theatre, the possibility of needing an ordi-
nance change, the posting of a sign in the area, and the effects these
changes would have on the area in terms of parking.

Councilman Cantine suggested the sign read: "Unloading Only
6:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m." rather than reading: "Three Minute Parking".
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that the City council's intent is:
(1) have two parking spaces in front of the theatre, (2) re-
vert to a white zone, and (3) errect appropriate sign. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Cantine and carried unani-
mously.
Councilman Rosenberg addressed two draft contracts relating to a
Visitor Information Center and Community Promotions. He noted a cor-
rection to the Visitor Information Center contract, item 4(a), stating
it should not state an explicit dollar figure. Ile then suggested the
two contracts be scheduled for the November 13, 1979 Council meeting.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the two contracts relating to a
Visitor Information Center and Community Promotions be
scheduled for a public hearing at the November 13, 1979
meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rosenberg
and carried unanimously.
Councilman Rosenberg asked what the status of the Ci.ty's news-
letter is.
Mr. McGonagill stated the newsletter is at the printers and will
be delivered by Postal Instant Press by November 6, 1979.
Councilman Cantine stated he feels it is an absolutely inappro-
priate act not to submit the completed newsletter to the Councilmin
its final form prior to dissemination. He then stated the reason he
feels this way is because the draft newsletter that he saw was a totally
ineffective newsletter, therefore, the newsletter should have returned
to Council prior to distribution.
Mayor Shelton stated it is too late to do anything about it, if
the Council wanted to write the newsletter then they should have done
so, but since the Council directed the City Administrator to write it
then the Council must deal with it on this basis.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would like to have the City Admini-
strator's report concerning his request for assistance scheduled for
a Council meeting under "New Business".
Councilman Reasor expressed concern with the City's ordinance as
it relates to the relationship and/or authority of the City Admini-
strator and City Council. The ordinance does not grant the Council
the right to participate in any of the department head hires other
than the City Administrator, City Attorney, and City Engineer. The
City of San Luis Obispo provides that all decisions of the City
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
October 22, 1979, Regular Meeting
Page 6
Administrator are subject to review or approval by the City Council.
He stated he is concerned with Morro Bay's ordinance because the
Council must essentially be responsible for the person who is placed
in a critical position, e.g. Chief of Police. Since the Council is
responsible for this, the Council should at least have some means of
providing input to the hiring of this person. He then requested the
Council review the City of San Luis Obispo's ordinance as it relates
to the relationship of the Council and City Administrator and consider
it as an amendment to the Morro Bay City's ordinance.
The Council requested that staff obtain a copy of San Luis Obispo's
ordinance as it relates to the above matter and forward it to Council
for review.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he is opposed to the concept being
proposed and that the problem is that no one wants to delegate manage-
ment. He stated he feels the Council should work towards developing
a good working relationship with staff, rather than setting these
types of controls.
Councilman Cantine stated because the City is so small, he feels
the Council does need to get involved in the hiring of department head
personnel, therefore he stated he would support Councilman Reasor's
suggestion.
The City Council stated they would be holding a meeting with the
City Administrator in the future to discuss their working relationship,
etc.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like for staff to be directed to
review the City's lease law for the following: (1) whether our law en-
forcement people are using the ordinance as a guideline when they go
out after a complaint, (2) are the animal control people using this
as a guideline when they respond to a complaint, and (3) is this the
best the City can do to control the negligence of unleased animals in
the community. He then stated the reason he wants this report is to
see whether the Council can develop a finer ordinance, or whether the
current ordinance is adequate, and if the City is enforcing it correctly.
The Council concurred.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the County has the actual housing faci-
lity for the animals, but the Morro Bay Police Department usually receive
the complaint calls. The Police Department cannot do anything with the
animals because they have no where to put them. They cannot transport
the animal in the back of a police car because the State will not permit
the City to then use that vehicle for the transport of people. Also,
there is the problem of taking a police officer and police car out of
the City to the County facilities. He then suggested this matter be
scheduled for a Study Session for further discussion.

Mr. Campbell stated everyone is passing the buck. The Morro Bay
Police Department will not answer a complaint on a dog unless there is
an injury involved. They tell you to call the pound and the pound tells
you to call someone else.
Mr. Campbell asked about getting the weeds abated in the area of
the Harbor Street tract.
Mayor Shelton stated he would direct the City Administrator to re-
spond to Mr. Campbell's concerns upon his return from the ICMA Con-
ference.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like to request the Council estab-
lish a policy of granting a three minute maximum time allowance for
each individual who speaks under the "Public Comments" portion of the
agenda. The reason for this is because the Public Comments portion of.
the agenda is being abused. If the public wants more than three minutes
then the item should be placed on a Council agenda. He then stated he
would keep track of the time.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the City Council establish a policy
that would limit and prescribe a three minute time limit to
each individual who speaks under the "Public Comments portion
of the agenda", and direct staff to make a notation on the
City Council agendas under "Public Comments", in parenthesis
to read: "If the presentation by the individual, or organi-
zation making the presentation, is in excess of three minutes
that the item should be agendaized under public hearing."
The motion died for lack of a second.
Councilmen Cantine and Harmon and Rosenberg stated they were not
prepared to respond to the motion at this time.
Mayor Shelton stated he would bring this matter up at the next
Council meeting for Council action.
Councilman Cantine stated he would like to have an Executive
Session to discuss personnel with Council members only.

B. HEARINGS, APPEARANCES, AND REPORTS
B-5 Public hearing on second draft of the Community Housing Ordinance
that would regulate condominiums and condominium conversions.
Mayor Shelton stated because of the time constraints involved with
the Study Session, the numerous items to complete, and the lack of
public attendance, he requested that the Community Housing Ordinance be
scheduled for a public hearing at the October 22, 1979 City Council
meeting. The Council concurred.
D. NEW BUSINESS
D-1 Renewal of Mutual Aid Agreement between the City of Morro Bay and
the County Fire Department.
Chief Zerr stated the agreement is basically the same as the one
approved in 1974. He then stated he would like for the agreement to
be open/end with a 30 days notice of termination in writing.
Mayor Shelton expressed concern with Morro Bay's Fire Department
responding to calls from the area of where the bridge is located by
the dump on Turri Creek Road, because the County is not providing any
kind of reimbursement to the City. Councilmen Cantine and Reasor
concurred.
Councilman Cantine stated he would like for the County to be con-
tacted to see if there could be some off -setting rewards from the
County to the City, in exchange for services provided by Morro Bay's
Fire Department. Councilman Reasor and Mayor Shelton concurred.

MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the City Administrator and Mayor
be directed to sign the Mutual Aid Agreement with the State
Department of Forestry and San Luis Obispo County Fire
Department. The motion was seconded by Councilman Reasor.
Councilmen Reasor, Rosenberg, and Cantine stated they would like
to continue this matter to the next meeting to allow staff time to
contact the County concerning any possible trade-offs for services.
Councilman Harmon stated he would like to have this matter
placed on the Consent Calendar of the October 26, 1979 meeting.
Mayor Shelton withdrew his motion and Councilman Reasor withdrew
his second to the motion.
D-2 Resolution No. 48-79 designating Morro Bay's selection of Federal
Aid Urban Project(s).
Mr. Bressan stated staff would recommend the City Council support
two projects--(1) overlay of pavement for Main Street from Yerba Buena
to Elena with an estimated cost of about $75,000 and (2) install a
traffic actuated traffic signal at the intersection of Main Street and
Route #41. This also involves on and off ramps for State Route #1.
This would be a joint State/City project at a cost of about $60,000.
Mayor Shelton asked if there are any other areas in Morro Bay that
warrant signalization.
Mr. Bressan stated there are about four areas in the City that
need to be signalized and that are eligible for FAU funding to some
degree. He then stated if the Council supports the overlay project
it could probably be completed within fiscal year 1979/80 and the
signalization would take about two years to complete because of neces-
sary approvals from the State.
Councilman Reasor expressed concern with the proposed signaliza-
tion project at Highway 41 stating he had spoke to several people in
the area who feel there is not a need for a signal, and that the four-
way stop works very well. He concluded his comments stating he did
not support the project when it was previously discussed, and that he
does not support it now because he does not feel it is needed at this
time.
Councilman Cantine stated the Morro Bay Boulevard merchants are
concerned with "breaking up the speed" on Morro Bay Boulevard and a
police car is not the answer. The two criticals points are Kern and
Morro Bay Boulevard; and Napa and Morro Bay Boulevard. Therefore, he
stated he would like for a study to be done of Morro Bay Boulevard
along with a proposal prior to instituting signalization at Main Street
and Route #41.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL

Mr. Bressan stated he has already started doing an indepth survey
involving the pedestrian crossing times, traffic counts and movement,
etc. So far, the survey indicates that stop signs are not warranted
and that there is not a speed problem on Morro Bay Boulevard because
the average speed is 26 m.p.h.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like to hold.off this discussion
until the Council receives a full, indepth.analysis from the Public
Services Department concerning the traffic situation. He then sug-
gested that a time be set aside for that particular portion of the
request that relates to the Highway #1 area signalization and go
with the overlay of pavement project at this time.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he is not ready to totally reject the
Highway #41 project. He stated it is necessary for the Council to see
the results of the study and the data that pertains to this project,
and the Morro Bay Boulevard traffic circulation prior to making a
determination on it.
MOTION: Councilman Cantirie moved that Resolution No. 48-79, fourth
paragraph be amended to read: "The City Council of the
City of Morro Bay request that the proposed Federal Aid
project be an overlay of pavement for Main Street from
Yerba Buena to Elena and any other projects as may be deter-
mined by staff and approved by Council. The City Council
requests approval of said project by the State Department
of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration as
a Federal Aid Urban Project." The motion was seconded by
Councilman QReasor)jarid car'ri'ed, unanimou'sly:,
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that Resolution No. 48-79, as amended, be
read by title only. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Cantine and carried unanimously.
Mr. Guluzzy read Resolution No. 48-79 by title only. "Resolution
of the City Council of the City of Morro Bay requesting the State
Department of Transportation of Federal Highway Administration to
approve Federal Aid Urban project for the City of Morro Bay urban area."
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the City Council approve R?�so-
lution No. 48-79 as amended. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Reasor and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
E. INDIVIDUALDETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 City Council
Mayor Shelton stated the County Water Advisory Committee formed
a committee which he will serve on, to examine each of the cities who
are subscribers to Naciemiento water. The committee will be devising
a formula to reduce the requested subscriptions because the cities are
over -subscribed for the amount of water available. He stated as he
receives additional information he will advise Council.

Mayor Shelton stated if any Councilmember is interested in
attending the Small Cities Conference in Pacific Grove on October 29,
1979 to contact him for additional information.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like for staff to provide a report
to the Council at the next meeting, if possible, addressing the news-
paper article on staff. morale and Council meddling. The reason is
because this type of report in the newspaper needs to be validated.
The Council concurred.
Councilman Rosenberg addressed the issue of insurance contained
in the draft senior citizen's lease agreement stating his understanding
is that there is a need to have formal Council direction on this issue.
Councilman Cantine stated he had spoke with Jim Gouldsbrough and
that it is his understanding that a much simpiler form of agreement is
being formulated and the lease may not be necessary. Therefore, the
insurance could fall under the City's coverage if it is not a lease.
Mr. Guluzzy stated it should be a mandatory requirement that any
non-profit organization provide liability insurance and this is backed
up by the City's insurance carrier.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would like for the Council to set
a policy concerning the insurance for all non-profit organizations.
Mayor Shelton stated he feels that this is an insurance ripoff
to require every group to have liability insurance before they can
rent a public building. He stated the senior citizens have been per-
forming services for the City for quite some time that would have to
be performed by the Recreation Department if the seniors were not doing
them. They have been insured under the City partly because they do
perform these services. The seniors are only changing to another
building, but will still be performing the same services. The City is
getting insurance rates at a cost that is much less then the City has
ever had to pay. Mayor Shelton concluded his comments noting that the
seniors wanted a lease agreement so they would be eligible to receive
funding from the County.
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the City Council have no further
discussion until a proposal is received from the senior citizens.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the Senior Citizen's Incorporated
not be required, when they move to the new building, to pro-
vide liability insurance. The motion was seconded by Council-
man Harmon.

Councilman Cantine stated he does not want to establish a precedent
concerning the insurance discussion. He then stated he would like to go
with the same type of agreement that San Luis Obispo City has with their
senior citizens.
Councilman Reasor expressed concern with the fact that the City
does not require other groups, (e.g. square dancers that use the Recre-
ation Hall for their dancing) to have insurance, therefore, he did not
feel it is necessary for the seniors to provide liability insurance
because they could be covered under the City's insurance:
The motion carried with Councilmen Cantine and Reasor abstaining.
E-2 City Attorney
None.
E-3 City Administrator
None.
The City Council discussed the scheduling of the Community Housing
Ordinance and felt it should be scheduled for a special meeting rather
than waiting until the October 22, 1979 regular meeting.
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved the meeting adjourn to the October 10,
1979 Study Session, in the City Hall Conference Room. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Reasor and carried unani-

(1) Presentation by Richard Fisher regarding housing proposal.
Mr. Fisher advised the City Council that he had presented to the
Planning Commission on February 6, 1979, a senior citizens project that
had been worked on for over a year with an investment,. so far, of seve-
ral thousands of dollars. He noted at that time the project site was
located at Ironwood and Atascadero Road, but a new site became available
that is far superior, that is located behind the Catholic Church and
Safeway. Before any more money is spent for the project he stated he
would like to have the backing of the community and the local admini-
strative boards. Mr. Fisher noted, in the future, certain commitments
would have to be made in order to meet the requirements of Farmer's
Home Administration (FHA).
Mr. Fisher then reviewed the new proposed site stating (1) it has
all the commercial development within easy walking distance of it and
(2) the homes are low -rental housing. There has'been an Advisory Com-
mittee set up that will conduct a survey that will provide feedback
from the community concerning the proposed project.
Mr. Fisher stated FHA will require a letter from the City, stating
the City's approval of the project, and a report concerning the pro-
gressive work being done on the solution to the water/sewer moratorium.
The Committee will meet with Coastal Commission staff and request their
cooperation on solving the water problem. Mr. Fisher noted the following:
(1) an environmental determination would have to be made by the Planning
Commission; (2) the Committee would then meet .with the State Architecture
Department; (3) the Committee would go into schematic drawings and submit
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
October 10, 1979 Study Session
Page 2
a feasibility package which would require the City's letter of support
of the project and certification of the availability of water and sewer
connections; (4) the Planning Commission would then have to approve
the working drawings of the application submittal; and (5) then final
submittal would have to be approved by the appropriate body, e.g.
Planning Department, Planning Commission, or City Council.
Shirley Fisher introduced the Advisory Board as follows: Molly
Bruno, Father Erickson, Lila Keiser, Reverend Robert McCullagh, Don
Miller, Ed Peckenpaugh, Bruce Risley, and Father Sweeney. Mrs. Fisher
stated the purpose of the Board is to make recommendations and set
the priorities for the project based upon the survey. She then stated
that the Committee is open to input from the Council and Planning Commis-
sion for the formulation of the survey questions.
Mike Brady, Architect, stated he has assisted in developing the
survey questionaire based upon the requirements of FHA. The programing
aspect, at this point, would deal with the goals and the Advisory Com-
mittee would provide input to the adjustment of the goals and gathering
the facts and the needs of the user. As the Committee progresses
through the programming it will be developing design statements which
will be keyed into the concept for establishing the required criteria.
After the concept is approved, the Committee will develop preliminary
schematics.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he supports the concept, but that he
has concerns about the progression of steps outlined by the Committee
as it relates to the resolution of the water and sewer problems that
the City has. In the future, the Council will have to deal with who
will receive water and how much water will be given. Councilman
Rosenberg concluded his comments stating he does not see any way that
the City will have its supplemental water within a year.
Mr. Brady stated the Committee will be working with the City in
developing the Master Water Plan.
Mr. Fisher stated the Committee needs to get together with the
various governmental bodies involved and work on the resolution of
this problem. There needs to be a commitment from the City Council,
giving direction to the staff to expedite the solution of the mora-
torium. The time frame involved for a preliminary submittal that would
go to the National Agency could take up to 6 months. Mr. Fisher con-
cluded his comments stating he needs a commitment from the Council that
the project would be a priority and that the Council would direct staff
to direct their energies to the project.

Councilman Cantine stated based upon the time frame presented,
that he would be reluctant to give Mr. Fisher any encouragement on
the project, as it relates to the Coastal Commission meeting the
time frame that the Committee has established. He then stated the
Council would have to consider the project priorities of individuals
who have purchased lots and have been demanding for some time the
right to develop their lots. These projects could possibly be of a
higher priority than one single large project.
Mr. Brady suggested the Council consider giving the project a
letter of priority intent.
MOTION: Councilman Reasor moved the meeting adjourn to October 22,

Mayor Shelton stated that item B-2, "Agreement Between the City
of Morro Bay and Senior Citizen's Corporation for Use of the Teen
Center on an Interim Basis for a Senior Citizen's Center", has been
pulled from the agenda, at the senior citizen's request, and will be
scheduled at another time when advised by the senior citizens.
Councilmen Harmon and Rosenberg asked if this matter could be
discussed among the Council so that guidance could be provided to the
City Administrator for negotiatiing with the seniors.
Mayor Shelton stated he did not feel this matter should be dis-
cussed under "Hearings, Appearances and Reports" since it has been
requested to be pulled from the agenda. He then suggested, as an
alternative, that it be discussed under "Individual Determination and/
or Action" by the Council. The Council concurred.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mrs. McWilliams thanked the Diffleys for the time that they volun-
teered to assist the City in getting a reasonable and serviceable sewer
system. She then stated she is happy to pay the sewer charge and that
she is a senior citizen. Mrs. McWilliams concluded her comments stating
that she would like for the community to get together so that the
Council can get on with their work.
Mr. Lemmons stated there was recently a League of California Cities
meeting in San Francisco that Morro Bay sent a couple of Council and
staff members to. He then stated there were two resolutions that were
passed by the General Assembly of the League that dealt with the control
of narcotics paraphenalia. He read the two resolutions into the record.

Mr. Lemmons stated he is concerned about Councilman Rosenberg
speaking against the adoption of the two resolutions. He then stated
if it is the Council's policy to not support resolutions of this
nature, then the resolution should be brought before the public for
comment prior to voting upon them. If this is not the policy of the
Council, then it was poor judgement on the part of any representative
of Morro Bay to think that the citizens of Morro Bay would not be in-
terested in doing anything to reduce the drug problems.
Councilman Rosenberg stated there were about 70 resolutions and
about 4 of the resolutions were proposed the day before voting upon
them and were not available ahead of time (initiative resolutions).
All of the resolutions went through specialized committees and no one
received copies of the resolutions prior to the day that they were
voted upon. He then stated because of the magnitude of the resolutions
and various cities attending the meeting, (about 400 cities) that it is
impossible to get a Council policy on all of the resolutions. He then
stated on 99% of the resolutions there was not a City position taken.
On those resolutions that'did require a City position be taken he stated
that he did vote the policy of the City. He then stated his opposition
to the two resolutions that Mr. Lemmons referred to is not because he
supports drugs, but because of the word "paraphenalia". The word could
include tweezers, eye droopers, spoons, hairpins, darning needles, etc.
and this is too broad'and'goes beyond the boundary lines of reasonable
law, therefore Councilman Rosenberg stated he voted against the two
resolutions.
Mr. Lemmons stated the voting was not upon legislation, but upon
a resolution requesting that the League support legislation which
would be written at a latter time, therefore, the term "paraphenalia"
could be striken when it is written. He stated his main reason for
his concern is that the League of California Cities is a very influen-
tial group in the State, and they are trying to strengthen the drug
control laws in the State and Morro Bay's representative voted against it.
Mr. Reddell stated the people who are involved in the recall elec-
tion are not against the sewer tax, but against Councilmen Cantine and
Harmon's campaign. They lied by saying if elected they would take off
the sewer charge and they did, but they have reenacted it after they
have been voted in.
Councilman Cantine stated that this is the type of "big lie accu-
sation" that is totally'unsupported by the facts. He stated he walked
the town from one end•to another and every place he went the question
of finances came up and the sewer tax was not a significant part of his
campaign. When asked about the sewer tax he stated there would have to
be some kind of tax or a"bond issue to pay for the wastewater treatment
plant and that he intended to do what he could to get the City on a
self-supporting basis.

Councilman Harmon had no comments to make.
Mr. Gaines stated the City pays a fee to the California League
of Cities. They are a lobbiest group, namely for city administrators
and they do not represent the people, but represent special interests.
In regards to the water/sewer situatiol the previous Council supported
a sewer charge per cubic foot. He concluded his comments stating the
only fair way is to make the sewer charge per toilet.
Mr. Risley thanked and commended the Council for the steps that
they have taken on public safety. He then sited Piney Way as an example.
Mr. Campbell stated when the City incorporated the City essentially
adopted the citizens in the City boundaries just as an individual adopts
a child. Whatever problems that child has the parents are responsible
for, just as the City is responsible for the citizens in the Morro Bay
community. The City said they would provide water, streets, services,
utilities for the citizens of the city.. The last line of the Pledge of
Allegiance states "...fdr'liberty and justice for all," and he stated
the Council is not treating the citizens of Morro Bay with justice for
all as long as they support, by their actions or silence, the water
moratorium.
Mr. Campbell then stated the Water Committee is not doing anything
to find water, or to help the people who want to build, and one day
someone will bring suit against the City and this matter will go to
court.
Mr. Campbell then addressed the issue of a senior citizen center)
vs. a community center. He stated he thought this was resolved before
and the City was going to support a community center, and it is not
going to be solely for senior citizens.
Mr. Campbell concluded his comments stating the sewer tax elected
most of the current Council. While campaigning door-to-door they stated
they would appeal the sewer tax.

Mayor Shelton stated he has received two proclamations which he
was going to sign. One proclaims the "International Day of the Child"

John Wilson, President of Local Libraries Users United (LLUU)
stated the LLUU was formed for the purpose of supporting libraries.
Mr. Wilson stated this is the International Year of the Child.
The children are to be watched over and guided because they will take
our place in this community, in national government, and in the world.
Therefore, it is the adults duty to see to the training, entertain-
ment, and upbringing of the children.
Mr. Wilson noted a child does not always receive the necessary
training at home to recognize evil, tyranny, etc. The schools are too
busy teaching to be able to convey the idea of what's evil and what
isn't. One of the biggest places that this can be taught to the
children is through the libraries.
Mr. W_.lson stated the libraries have available the listings of
local tour groups, local night clubs, and movies. It is also a place
where large print books are available and braile books for the blind.
The library can serve as a study hall for school children, and is a
school for cooks, mechanics, macrame, knitting etc. It is the most
diversified item in the entire community based on what it will serve a
person.
Mr. Wilson stated libraries are funded partially by the tax on
the houses and real estate which is at a rate of about 15t. This money,
because of Proposition 13, was cut drastically. The libraries are about
$300,000 short which would keep the libraries operating at the level .
that they are now. A portion of the funding comes from the State bail-
out funds and the library reserves. If there is no money to replace
the library reserves after they are depleted, then the library services
will be cut.
Mr. Wilson concluded his comments stating that a tax of $5.00 per
household is the only legal way that this could be done in the State.
Therefore, the LLUU request that the City Council endorse this tax.
Mr. Strickler asked why a slightly worn book is discarded from the
library and hauled away to the dump.
Mr. Perkins, Director of the County Library stated the books are
patched and for many years the books have not been taken to the dump.
When books are phased out they are sold to people.
Mr. Gaines asked why the LLUU did not direct their efforts to the
State and County government.
Mr. Perkins stated they are addressing the state government and
have a funding bill there. The LLUU is also addressing the Board of
Supervisors.'

bodies of the State. He concluded his comments stating that he would
like a tax to come in from the top as a constitutional assessment
against everyone in the State.
Mayor Shelton stated in regards to Mr. Gaines suggestion and what
the people voted for in Proposition 13 there were some so-called un-
knowns that the people really knew about when they were voting. The
people said if Proposition 13 does any harm then it will be brought
before the people to vote upon it to see if modification is necessary.
He then stated he feels the proposal by the LLUU is in that spirit, and
that it is an opportunity for the people to vote on whether they want
additional taxation on libraries. He stated the libraries provide a
very basic need and that he would support the proposal.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he believes in libraries, education,
and thinking human beings. He stated he supports libraries and would
support paying the $5.00 per year. He did not feel the Council should
take a stand on this matter,^but as individuals the Council could say
whatever they want to. -The reason for his view is that he does not
feel that the Council should take a stand on this type of matter and
try to sway the people's vote.
Councilman Harmon stated he is supportive of libraries, but he
would not support the proposal as a City Councilman because he does
not feel it is equitable and would not like to see the Council take
a position for or against its.
Councilman Reasor stated he agrees somewhat with Councilman
Rosenberg. As an individual he stated he would speak out in support
of libraries, but as a City Councilman, he does not feel he should
take a stand one way or the other.
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the City Council endorse the
efforts of the Local Libraries Users United to get equitable
legislation to finance libraries for the protection against
the effects of Proposition 13. The motion was seconded by
Mayor Shelton and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
B-3 Review of findings and other mandatory items that were approved

Development) proposal.'
Mr. Gurnee stated staff recommends that the Council approve the
final tract map 778 which is in compliance with the tentative map

the findings that it is consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and
approve the CC&R's. The CC&R's are standard, except for one provision,
that does not allow children under the age of 18 to live in the units.
Mayor Shelton asked what alternatives are available in regards to
the "no children" stipulation in the covenants.
Mr. Gurnee stated he has a letter from the developer stating they
would be willing to allow children to live in the units if the Council
so desires, but would prefer not to have children.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like for the "no children under the
age of 18" clause to be strickened from the covenants because he does
not want to set a precedent for future tract approvals.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the more sensitive we are to minority
groups the more bigoted we also become. Some people would rather not
live in close proximity to children, and they should be allowed to exer-
cise this right and have that option.
Mayor Shelton stated with the proposed restriction it would be
applying a legal covenant that no one under the age of 18 could live
there irrevocably. Therefore, he stated a buyer -seller agreement or
deed restriction could be done rather than a stipulation in the
covenants.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the City Council delete from the :..%.
covenents the stipulation that states persons under the
age of 18 can not live in the units. The motion was sec-
onded by Councilman Harmon.
Councilman Cantine stated if there is no urgency in approving the
tract map, that he would like to have this matter researched further
for the various alternatives that are available.
Mrs. McMahan, applicant stated there is no play area for children
and that is why the stipulation has been requested. She also stated
that it is very urgent that approval be obtained this evening because
of financial constraints and problems.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like to have a report on this matter
so that the Council, in the future, will know the various options avail-
able.
The motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the City Council adopt the
following findings of fact:

(6) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improve-
ments is not likely to cause serious public health
problems.
(7) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improve-

B-6 Report by the Safety Committee relative to harbor patrol
officers.
Don Sedgley, Chairman of Public Safety Committee, stated that
Grace Hedges, Joe Colouch, and Bob Dengler are also members of the
committee. He stated they met three times since the Council commis-
sioned them. They have discussed various items that are important to
public safety.' There has been one item that has been dormit in Morro
Bay and that is public safety on the bay. The committee would recom-
mend that the harbor patrolmen be reinstated to the Safety Employees
Association with full police power. Implementation should be of concern
to staff, and not to the committee. The reason for the recommendation
is to reduce theft and vandalism on the water; and to dispel the atti-
tude among the criminally inclined "that once it is dark and foggy you
can get away with anything on the water."

Councilman Rosenberg stated when the Council formed the committee
it was directed to address the area of emergency plans and asked if the
committee would be discussing this issue.
Mr. Sedgley stated the committee will be following up this direc-
tion in the near future.
Mayor Shelton requested that staff examine the committee's recom-
mendation regarding public safety on the bay and report back to the
Council at the October 22, 1979 meeting. The Council concurred.
B-7 Human Resources Committee nominations for the Public Safety Ad -Hoc
Committee which will help develop a profile of qualifications in
conjunction with City Administrator for Chief of Police.
Jody Giannini, Chairman, stated in regards to the profile of the
Chief of Police several people have been contacted about serving on the
Committee. He then recommended the Council appoint the following indi-
viduals: Ed Musloff who is a teacher at the Morro Bay High School and
is highly regarded in the community; Sharon Fitzsimmons who owns Virg's
Landing and is concerned with the future of Morro Bay; Joe Colouch and
Grace Hedges from the Public Safety Committee; and Dick Miller, former
San Luis Obispo City Administrator. If the Council wants another area
of representation Mr. Giannini stated he would be open for additional
persons to serve on the committee,'but would not like to have more than
seven individuals.
Councilman Cantine stated he has some suggestions of persons to
serve on the committee and would talk them over with Mr. Giannini within
the next couple'of days. -
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would not mind postponing this
matter to the Wednesday night Study Session to allow Councilman Cantine
to make his suggestions to Mr. Giannini, but would not like to continue
it for two more weeks. Mayor Shelton concurred.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that the ad -hoc committee for pro-
filing the Police Chief include Ed Musloff, Sharon Fitzsimmons,
Joe Couluch, Grace Hedges, and Richard Miller with the provi-
sion that the Council can chose to add additional persons to
the committee in the future, and that the Human Resources Com-
mittee and City Administrator get moving on this as quickly as
possible and attend the first meeting. The motion was seconded
by Mayor Shelton and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
B-4 Appeal of Planning Commission decision by Elenor Kolb concerning
approval of a plan change that would allow the consturction of'a
garage/carport to serve Al Meyers residence to be constructed at
261 Man Street within three feet of her property line and a re-
quest to revoke the building permit issued for the residence.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
October 8, 1979 Regular Meeting
Page 10
Mr. Gurnee stated the appeal relates to the construction of a
residence on the waterfront at 261 Main Street owned by Al Meyers.
Mrs. Kolb's appeal is (1) a decision by Planning Commission to allow
the construction of a garage/carport to serve the residence which
would be constructed three feet from her property line and (2) a re-
quest that the Council rule that the Building Permit for the entire
residence is invalid and should be reconsidered in light of a Master
Plan. The residence had a stop -work order placed on it when it became
apparent that the retaining wall, that makes up part of the lot, for
this residence was too close to the property line, and required a
change in the garage that concerned the Planning Department in that
they may not be able to meet the reqirements of the Municipal Code for
two covered parking spaces. The submission of a covenant that would
cover both pieces of property that were once commonly owned would
guarantee that the facilities needed for the dockage permit would not
be jeopardized by the future sale of this property. He stated he re-
ceived two signed copies of the covenant which is one of the conditions
for lifting the stop -work order and also received the submittal for an
overall Master Plan for the property.
Councilman Harmon stated he would like to hear separate arguments
relating to each of the appeal matters.
Councilman Cantine stated he feels that the two items are so inter-
twined that he would like to discuss them jointly. Councilman Reasor,
Rosenberg, and Mayor Shelton concurred.
Joanne Fenton, attorney representing Elenor Kolb, stated Mrs. Kolb
is appealing the Planning Commission's decision. There has not been
anything before the Planning Commission except a modification to the
garage, therefore, in appealing the Planning Commission's decision
Mrs. Kolb addressed herself to the garage only.
The real issue here is do the Meyers have a valid Building Permit.
The permit was for both the residence and the garage, they were not two
separate permits. The Planning Commission was not permitted to consider
the residence at their meeting. Mrs. Kolb wants to have Morro Bay's
ordinances enforced and applied to everyone, and there is a record of
instances where the City's ordinances have not been followed. There is
a public interest involved here as well as the interest of Mrs. Kolb.
The property involved deals with the development of bayfront property,
which is one of Morro Bay's primary assets. There is also a public in-
terest in having the City's ordinances followed. The reference made
to litigation as a basis for decision is not a proper basis to use for
making a decision, and she requested this not be used, but use the basis
of what the public interest is and whether or not the Council is going
to enforce the ordinances of the City.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
October 8, 1979 Regular Meeting
Page 11
Mrs. Fenton stated a garage structure has been approved by the
Planning Commission. A person can come before the Planning Commission
to get a lessoning of requirements but a person cannot come to the
Planning Commission to have the whole project reviewed. The property
owners can come before the Planning Commission on an invalid permit and
obtain further dispensation for non-standard structures, but the Planning
Commission has been told that they can not review the residence which is
a part of the same Building Permit. They did not consider any other
possible placement for the garage. Since this is not a substandard piece
of property and the garage does not have to be in any one particular lo-
cation, Mrs. Kolb would like for the Council to consider moving the
garage structure nearer to Main Street. The purpose of this would be to
allow a larger breezeway between the residence and the garage which is
the way the buildings were originally designed. It also protects the
view from Main Street, as well as protecting the view from Mrs. Kolb's
property. The existing residence has 119 feet of a firewall and there
is a minimum breezeway of 8 feet. The effect of this is to preclude
either public or private views because of this structure. She is also
requesting that a full-size garage be approved. The applicants received
approval from the Planning Commission for a sub -standard garage and the
only reason they wanted this garage was because of the inconvenience to
the applicants which is not a valid reason to not follow the City's ordi-
nance.
If the Meyers are not held to the standard of the ordinance then
Mrs. Kolb would request that they have to apply for a variance after
getting the other'approvals that have been omitted. These approvals
should be considered in the context of a plan. The Planned Develop-
ment Ordinance states specifically that there shall be a Master Plan
and a Specific Plan. The ordinances sets forth a number of issues that
must be addressed in the 'General Plan and there is no assurance that
these will be covered"in the Master Plan. The Planning Commission and
City Council should have a plan that shows the boundaries of the entire
property; every use that is proposed of that property; every structure
that is to be built on the property; setbacks being requested both be-
tween the structures on the property and as they relate to adjacent
property..
Mrs. Kolb also requests that the Council find the Building Permit
for the garage and house to -be invalid. When a person comes in for a
Building Permit this action is deemed to be a nondiscretionary approval
and the Environmental Quality Act is not generally applied to a Building
Permit. But anytime a person must come in for a discretionary approval,
and that would include a plan, whether it is a General, Specific, or
Master Plan, Conditional Use Permit, or a Variance; a determination of
whether the Environmental Quality Act applies and whether an EIR is
going to be required must'be done. There has never been a total dis-
cretionary look at what is being proposed on these properties, nor has
there been a determination whether SEQUA applies.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
October 8, 1979 Regular Meeting
Page 12
There has not been compliance with the Planned Development Ordi-
nance. In looking at the ordinance it appears that there are standards
that are applied to the PD zone and these are the standards that relate
to the use that is specified for the property under the General Plan of
the City. In this area there is an R-4 overlay which is basically a
planned development with the standards of the R-4 zone applied. Since
that zone does not permit 0 setbacks and requires a 5 foot setback from
the property line, Mrs. Kolb feels if there is anything less than that
that there should be a variance or else you are rezoning the property.
The specific ordinance violations are as follows: (1) the violation
of the Planned Development Ordinance in that there is no General Plan,
no Specific Plan, and no Conditional Use Permit. The Conditional Use
Permit expired; and (2) there is a violation of the setbacks which is
required in that portion of the residence are right on the property
line and a three foot setback was only.required for the garage; SEQUA
has been bypassed by failre to follow the ordinance; approval of an
undersized garage with no Variance being required. The PD zone is to
allow some kind of deviation from minimum but there is nothing that
suggests you should ask for less than the minimum requirements in a
PD zone.
In Mrs. Kolb's appeal she requested that you declare the permit
invalid, and she is not asking for revocation of the permit. The
general rule of law is that no interest can vest under an invalid per-
mit. This matter has been handled by licensed architects throughout
and has had the benefit of legal counsel at various times, therefore
the applicants are not unfamiliar with the City requirements. The
question is whether the Council is going to enforce the City's ordi-
nances for the Meyers as they are enforced for other individuals. She
stated when building permits are issued in violation, even on minor
matters, people either pay a fine or else go back for the necessary
permits, therefore,'Mrs. Kolb feels this is the very least the Council
can require on a major project that will effect the waterfront. She
also stated the statement in the report that has the idea put forth
or if you don't approve this house then you won't get the marina. Mrs.
Kolb would ask this be disregarded in the decision -making process since
it is an emotional factor. The time to begin enforcement is when you
find violation.
Jerry Mason, attorney representing Mr, and Mrs..Meyers stated in
regards to the question of whether the permit was validly issued, Mrs.
Fenton stated this issue was not addressed by the Planning Commission,
which is true. This was on the advice of the city attorney who advised
the Planning Commission that the project under the ordinance was cate-
gorically exempt. In addition, the city attorney advised the Planning
Commission that even -if the permit had been invalid in issuing, because
the applicants had'expended money in good faith in connection with the
advancement of the project had acquired a vested right in the completion
of the project. The Meyers are trying to complete a single-family resi-
dence on property that has been in the family since the 1920's.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
October 8, 1979 Regular Meeting
Page 13
He noted that Mrs. Kolb has opposed the Meyers in the construction
of their single-family residence and has six residences on adjoining
property. A property owner has the right to construct a single-family
residence on his property assuming there is some sensitivity to the
public interest and the fact that the Planning Commission has validated
this project shows this to be true.
What is before the Council is whether they are going to be able to
change a garage to a carport. Mrs. Fenton claims that the carport as
proposed is going to be substandard, but the reason it is going to be
substandard is because the Planning Commission cut down the width to
give Mrs. Kolb a three foot setback line on the Meyers property. The
Meyers have been engaged in this project since 1975 and have $15,000 in
the residence, $50,000 in the dock area, and 5 years of time on the
prooject.
Dorothy Cutter expressed concern that there are things about the
total project that have not been looked at by the Planning Commission.
The ordinance is very specific and it states that there should be a
Master Plan, Specific Plan, and a General Plan for the property. She
then stated that she has several questions concerning the property and
has not had the opportunity to see a whole plan, and discuss it with
the Planning Commission. She wanted to know how it is determined (1) if
there is enough parking for the development, and (2) where to enter the
property since there is a mixed use of commercial, residential, and an
area with boats. She concluded her comments stating her main concern
is the traffic flow and how is it determined if it is adequate unless
it is viewed totally.
Mrs. Kolb, appeallant, asked if the Master Plan that has been sub-
mitted includes the residence. The ordinance requires that a General
Plan and Specfic Plan be submitted. When those plans are submitted
will the Planning Commission have an opportunity to look at the residence.
Mr. Gurnee stated the Specific Plan and General Plan requirements
of the ordinance have not always been applied. The Master Plan issue
relates to the other permit that the Council is not considering and
that is because the Planning Commission considered a negative declaration
for the other project and required the submission of landscaping, parking,
plans for restrooms as conditions of the negative declaration to be re-
viewed by the Planning Commission before any building permit was issued.
Mrs. Kolb asked if it is possible to have a General and Specific
Plan which"satisfies the ordinance and excludes a residence that has
not yet been built.
Mr. Gurnee stated according to the Planned Development Ordinance,
if there was an interpretation made that any project on the waterfront
should require a General and Specific Plan the specific requirements of
the ordinance as to what constitutes the General Plan would involve a
residence.

Mrs. Kolb then asked if a house had ever been built in a PD zone
that has not come before the Planning Commission.
Mr. Gurnee stated not that he knows of. He then stated the way
that PD zones in the City has been implemented in the past is based
upon tradition and past precedence.
Mrs. Kolb stated the ordinance specifies any building constructed
in a PD zone requires a Use Permit and anything that requires a Use
Permit requires that a General and Specific Plan be done.
Mr. Gurnee stated that that is how staff would interpret the ordi-
nance if there was a "clean slate", but this isn't the situation.
Mrs. Kolb then stated that while the house went before the Coastal
Commission that the Meyers went one year and seven months without taking
any action on the house whatsoever. She then stated that one piece of
the property was purchased in 1936 and the other in 1939 and has not
been in the Meyers family since 1920. She concluded her comments stating
that she has never opposed the house neither at a local level or at the
Coastal Commission level. Her only concern is that it is built according
to the City's ordinance. -
Mrs. Fenton requested a short break to confer with her client.
Break: 10:20 p.m. Reconvened: 10:25 p.m.
Mrs. Fenton stated she is concerned with the idea that the City
Council cannot consider the entire project at this time. There was a
Conditional Use Permit that was issued to the Meyers that expired. Even
though they did take some time to go before the Coastal Commission, there
was a long period of inactivity in terms of coming before public agencies
and pursuing the process they have to follow and to contribute that delay
to Mrs. Kolb is unfair. If the Council doesn't enforce the ordinances
then who will. She then sited Section 1720010 "Duty" of the City's ordi-
nance. A Conditional Use Permit that expired and someone in the City
issued a Building Permit contrary to the provisions of the ordinance
because there was no Conditional Use Permit operative at the time of
issuance of that Building Permit. Therefore, it is the duty of the City
Council to see that this ordinance is enforced.
Mrs. Fenton stated a vested right is when a person has obtained all
of the necessary permits required for the project and then expended money
for some kind of work on the ground. There are cases where thousands of
dollars have been spent on projects and people still do not have vested
rights because either they did not have all the permits they needed, did
not have a valid permit, or else the expenditure was not made at the time
they had the permit or was not for work on the ground. She concluded her
comments stating that Mrs. Kolb has been denied due process, and so has
everyone who could have had their chance to make their comments on the
Conditional Use Permit.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
October 8, 1979 Regular Meeting
Page 15
Mayor Shelton asked what the City's ordinance says about a dif-
ferent structure being designed by a different architect relating to
one Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Gurnee stated that the previous Planning Director, Mr. Nuzum
indicated that no new Use Permit was required and that they could work
it out as a plan change. There is no documentation in the files that
substantiates this. Mr. Gurnee stated his opinion is that the new
residence should have come back for Planning Commission review before
a Building Permit was issued.
Mr. LeSage stated the City's practice had been in requesting uses
within an established PD zone to require a PD review and that occurred
in 1975 when the Meyers first came in with an application for a house.
After receiving PD review in 1975 the Meyers sought Coastal Commission
approval and ran into difficulties relating to the two-story house and
the Coastal Commission wanted a one-story house. The Meyers had to fire
the architect they had and hire another architect and then go to the
State Commission. In June 1979 the applicant came in and picked up the
Building Permit that the Planning Department issued.
He then sited City Ordinance section No. 17.36.020(b) major sub-
section B. A house replacing another house is replacing a similar use
and the code section specifically authorizes the Planning Department to
make that determination and provide the procedure for going to the
Planning Commission if that determination cannot be made. Mr. LeSage
stated in his opinion, when the Planning Department issued the permit
there was a determination by the City that one use was being replaced
by a similar use.
He then stated once a Building Permit is issued and there is good
faith reliance, substantial expenditure on the ground (which we have
here), then a vested right has occurred.
The General and Specific Plan was not the practice of the City at
the time the project was beginning, the City's practice was to do a PD
review. The Use Permit wasn't required, the Planning Department deter-
mined that it was not required, they issued a Building Permit, and there
was reliance on that permit.
In regards to the carport he sited the City's code section no.
17.24.090. Mr. LeSage concluded his comments stating that he does not
feel the Council has the right to revoke the permit.
Mr. Gurnee read into the record a letter from Jim Maul, Architect,
to the Meyers dated January 4, 1978.
Mayor Shelton stated the permit was issued in 1975 which subse-
quently became invalid because of time. The applicants came to the
Planning Department through Mr. Maul and said they had some modifica-.
tions and he said under Section 2 he could give them a Section 2 modi-

requirements or the basis
Councilman Cantine stated he is willing to say it is an invalid
Building Permit but desires that the residence be allowed to proceed
and get the necessary documents, e.g., Master Plan. He stated the pro-
ject makes the best use of the lot and does not inflict an unreasonable
burden on the adjoining neighbor. Councilman Cantine concluded his
comments stating he hopes this will (1) honor the fact that the processes
the Council has worked through are indefensible and (2) that the City
does have an obligation to the appellant and applicant.
Mayor Shelton asked if there are any conditions that Councilman
Cantine would impose on the applicant for the continuation of the project.
Councilman Cantine stated he would want the garage moved, the pro-
cessing of the Master Plan and any other plans that the Planning Director
thinks is appropriate.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the alternatives are to (1) cut down
the three foot setback on the Kolb's side to e.g., 2 feet; and (2) move
the garage and encroach into the parking area for the dock.
Mayor Shelton stated the issue of a vested right is a legal issue
and a legal issue should be determined in court. 'He stated he feels
the ordinance has been violated and his job is to uphold the City ordi-
nance consistently and the permit that was presented is not valid.
Councilman Harmon stated he would agree with city attorney, and the
residence as amended by the Planning Commission, should be allowed to
proceed; that is the Council should deny the appeal.
Councilman Reasor stated he, would have to accept the appeal on the
garage to move it further up the hill next to the proposed parking
area. He then stated he feels the proposed house is appropriate for the
lot; that it is not objectional; he has no problem with the views, but
he is bothered by the garage because in the original plans there was
quite a space between the two buildings. He also stated he does not see
any reason, when there'is existing property there, why the City should
do something less than a standard of the City's ordinance.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he does not see any appropriate way to
stop the house, that there is a vested right involved here already. He
also stated if the City went through the entire process correctly that
the City might not get anything better for all the parties concerned.
He stated he would like to proceed with the idea that there is not a

vested right already as it relates to the garage. If there is not a
vested right in the garage then the permit is incorrect and the building
of that should be stopped until it can be considered as a part of the
overall Master Plan by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission
should not have any power to modify in any way the residence.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved the meeting continue until the completion

Councilman Harmon left the meeting at 12:05 p.m.
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the City Council uphold the
appeal on a full-size garage and it should be located closer
to Main Street to allow for a larger breezeway and that it
should be revamped, revised, and reviewed in the context of
a Master Plan to be approved by the Planning Commission. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Rosenberg. The motion car-
ried by roll call vote with Councilman Harmon absent.
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the City Council deny Elenor
Kolb's appeal to reconsider the entire residence based on
the previous motion on the basis that review of the plan is
most appropriate for the site.
Councilman Rosenberg stated if Councilman Cantine would add some-
thing within the motion about vested right that he would second the
motion.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Reasor.
Councilman Rosenberg and Mayor Shelton stated they could not support
the motion, therefore, -`the motion failed with Councilmen Reasor and

MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the City Council determine the
following:' There were errors in issuing the building permit.
The building permit was issued in June, 1979. The existing
residence was removed and there was excavation subsequent to the
building permit being issued for a new residence. The issuance
of a permit in June, 1979 was the result of the Planned De-
velopment review in 1975. On this basis they (the Meyers) are
authorized to proceed with the construction of the residence
with occupancy; subject to the approval and construction of the
garage; and subject to execution and approval of the covenants.

John Bressan, Public Services Director

(1) Personnel replacements and additions.
Mr. Guluzzy stated since Dave Braga, Parks and Recreation Director
has resigned effective September 28, 1979, that he would like to
appoint Kathy LaHargoue Parks and Recreation Supervisor to the position
of Parks and Recreation Superintendent. He noted her salary would not
change and this matter has been discussed with her. Mr. Guluzzy then
requested the Council authorize him to recruit a person with a MPA
degree with expertise in public administration at a salary of $22,000
which is the same as Mr. Braga's salary. The area of risk management,
some of the administrative reports that must be done would be what
this person would do. Mr. Guluzzy stated the Finance Director is very
busy with the County, the audit, grantsmanship, double bookkeeping sys-
tem, etc, and is not available to assist him with some of the above
administrative matters.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he sees this position as having the
function of an administrative assistant, but that the position would
not be a supervising position and would be equivalent to a department
head.
Mayor Shelton stated that he recognizes that Mr. Guluzzy and
Mr. McGonagill are innundated with work, but he is concerned if things
catch up then there might be too much staff.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he does not agree because there are so many
problems in the City and things that must be changed within the City,
things updated, the sewer project is overwhelming by itself, the hiring
of the Chief of Police, city committees, entire personnel system, etc.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like a full report concerning this
addressing questions like (1) do we need more chiefs, or more people
that are actually doing the work, (2) assess whether we need a depart-
ment head or someone that researches, writes, etc.
Councilman Reasor stated he would like to have someone in a position
less than a department head, and suggested a position of analyst.

Mr. Guluzzy stated that management is becom`incj} a full-time job
in trying to keep up on new developments and because of changing laws
relating to workman's compensation, rehabilitation, and medical benefits.
There are a number of areas in finance that need to be addressed that
may effect the bailout funds or SB325 funds the City receives.
The City Council and administration discussed the pros and cons
of having an assistant city administrator, analyst, or worker aspects
in length.
The City Council requested that Mr. Guluzzy provide a report to
the Council that would outline the specific functions that the pro-
posed person would perform, and also a job description.
Councilman Reasor left the meeting at 5:57 p.m. and returned
at 6:00 p.m.
Mayor Shelton stated the Council could address in the next budget
session, the proposed reorganization.
Mr. Guluzzy requested clarification concerning the Chief of Police
position. He stated he would like to meet with the Public Safety Com-
mittee to discuss this with them. Mr. Guluzzy noted that he has spoke
to various persons in the community in regards to this. P.O.S.T. has
done an administrative analysis.of the Police,Department and has a re-
port on the problems that currently exist in the department. He stated
he would like to work out a profile with the committee and then go out
for the recruitment of the Chief of Police.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the Public Safety Committee's function
is to deal with the long-range issues in this area, and the Ad -Hoc
Committee was formed so that individuals outside of the City of Morro
Bay, with expertise in the area of Police Administration, could be
brought in to assist with the development of selection/hiring criteria
and what the role of the City Council and City Administrator would be
in the final phase. The ad' -hoc committee will develop"the profile only.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like to be involved in the final
selection of the Chief of Police.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would like to be involved in the
interviewing of the Chief of Police in an advisory capacity, but that
the selection should be left up to the administrator.
Mayor Shelton stated the previous city administrator invited the
Council in to the interviews and each councilmember and administrator
had an equal vote concerning the selection.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
September 12, 1979 Study Session
Page 3
Mr. Guluzzy stated he has a problem with that because he feels
that he is responsible for the hiring and firing of the department
heads. He also stated he feels that there is difference between being
a policy -maker and an administrator.
Mayor Shelton stated the Council could change the code so that
they could be involved in the selection procedure, but would appre-
ciate being included without having to do something like this.
Mr. Guluzzy stated a professional likes to relate to a profes-
sional and does not want to be hired by politicians because they may
feel tainted. He stated he does not feel the Council should be in-
volved in this procedure.
Councilman Rosenberg stated it is necessary to trust the City
Administrator's judgement and hold him accountable for his selection,
but not for the Council to choose someone and then have the administra-
tor be accountable for the Council's decision.
Councilman Harmon stated he agrees with Councilman Rosenberg. He
stated he would like to be involved in the interviewing process, but
that the final decision be left with the city administrator.
Councilman Reasor stated he would like to participate in the pro-
cess as much as possible. Since the code reads as it does, he stated
he would agree with Councilmen Harmon and Rosenberg to participate in
the interviewing process and leave the final selection to the City
Administrator.
Mayor Shelton left the meeting at 6:37 p.m.
(2) City Administrator Status Report
Mr. Guluzzy brought up the issue of paying time and one-half to
clerical personnel. He stated the only other city in the county that
does not pay time and one-half for overtime is Arroyo Grande. The
overtime would be compensated either at time off or on a cash basis.
Councilmen Harmon, Reasor, and Rosenberg stated they would
support the recommendation.
Mr. Guluzzy stated staff will go before the Regional Water Quality
Control Board on October 12, 1979 to try and get a total lifting of the
moratorium on the City.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he has been comparing Pacific Telephone's phone
system for the City to two private firm's telephone systems. He stated
the Telephone West system is used by Vetter Corporation and it appears
this system would be the best and most cost-effective for the City of
Morro Bay. He then advised Council he would provide additional infor-
mation in the future.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Lois Rowland stated she represents People United for Responsible
Government (PURG) and that PURG has filed the necessary papers to ini-
tiate a recall election for Councilmen Cantine and Harmon. Mrs. Rowland
stated that Councilman Harmon has received his papers, but because
Councilman Cantine is absent his papers will be sent to his house by
certified mail. Mrs. Rowland then read into the record the following
reasons for the recall of Councilmen Cantine and Harmon:
Councilman Rosenberg arrived at 7:33 p.m.
(1) violated campaign promise to repeal sewer tax by imposing new tax,
placing greater burden on retired and low-income minimum water
users.
(2) Participated in inept hiring practices of City personnel. Ignored
own advertised job criteria.
(3) Spent thousands of dollars for consultant to evaluate consultant,
then ignored recommendations of own consultant.
(4) Despite campaign promises, water shortages still unresolved.
Appointed committee chairman who publicly opposed solution to
water problems.
(5) Ineptness, indecision, and vacillation, causing over a half -million
dollars increased costs for wastewater treatment plant project.
Delays further compound effects of inflation on final costs.

(6) Made a mockery of a public hearing February 26th by passing an
emergency ordinance based on false information.
Mrs. Rowland then noted that the following three additional reasons
for the recall pertain only to Councilman Cantine:
(1) Campaigned to solidify the community, but in truth has polarized
it by supporting unwarranted attacks on the business community.
(2) Unwilling to accept responsibility for official affairs.
(3) Displays vindictiveness, arrogance, childishness, and rudeness in
public meetings and public statements.
Mrs. Rowland then noted that the following three additional reasons
for the recall pertain only to Councilman Harmon:
(1) Fiscal irresponsibility. Campaigned to reduce the budget; in fact,
approved 1978/79 budget considerably larger.
(2) Campaigned for harbor improvements, then voted against building
new docks.
(3) Unwilling to accept responsibility for conduct of City affairs.
Dick Haddock asked if there was any additional information available
concerning the article in the paper about people who want to build condo-
miniums and give some wells to the City.
Mr. Guluzzy stated the City has not received any additional infor-
mation, but that the City is expecting a letter from Ray Gallo enumera-
ting the issues.
Mr. Moody stated he is representing his mother who lives alone in
an R-1 area and has been assessed a dual sewer tax of $7.00 instead of
$3.50. There is a non -connected garage with a commode and a lavatory
in it, but it has never been used or rented out. He stated his mother
lives on Social Security, therefore, he requested this additional $3.50
be negated.
The City Council directed staff to research this matter and report
back to Council.

D-1 Bid award to(Xerox Corporation)in the amount of $16,386.40 for
the purchase of a Xerox 4500 to replace the Xerox 2400 in City
Hall. (City Administrator recommends approval.)
Mr. Guluzzy stated the City Hall xerox machine is 15 years old and
has daily jams and breakdowns. He stated the purchase of a copy machine
was put out to bid, and four bids were received. Only two of the bids
received met the bid specifications --IBM and Xerox. Staff is recommending
the purchase of the Xerox machine in the amount of $16,386.40 and this
money has been budgeted in the 1979/80 capital improvement budget.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the City Council authorize staff to
award the bid to replace the Xerox machine in the City Hall
building to Xerox Corporation in the amount of $16,386.40 to
purchase the Xerox 4500. The motion was seconded by Council-
man Reasor and carried by roll call vote with Councilman
Cantine absent.
Mr. Campbell stated he is not questioning the need for a copy
machine, but feels that funds should be spent on the streets in Morro
Bay. He noted that the streets in North Morro Bay are especially bad
and in need of repair.
Councilman Rosenberg noted that the City would be purchasing the
Xerox 4500 rather than leasing the machine which is what is currently
being done. He also noted that the new Xerox 4500 would have the
capability of copying on both sides of the paper which would save on
costs.
D-2 Transfer $7,708.35 from unobligated reserves to Police Department
for the purpose of paying the 88.5 sick days accrued by Richard A.
Schacht, former Chief of Police.
Mr. Guluzzy stated this matter has been discussed in executive
session and staff has met with the City's attorney, Richard Schacht,
and Mr. Schacht's attorney concerning a potential disability hearing.
Staff has negotiated with Mr. Schacht concerning a settlement and
Mr. Schacht is willing to forego the disability hearing in exchange
for payment of 88.5 sick days accrued which would amount to $7,708.35.

D-3 Resolution No. 47-79 adopting salary ranges and steps for employees
for 1979/80 fiscal year and transfer $18,000 from unobligated re-
serve. (City Administrator recommends approval.)
Mr. Guluzzy stated the resolution represents the negotiated settle-
ment for salary increases for the firefighter, police, and general
employees. He then requested that the Council approve a transfer of
$18,000 from unobligated reserve to cover the salary increases for
fiscal year 1979/80.
Councilman Reasor asked if the resolution included the additional
1 1/28 for the firefighters that is over and above the 10% increase
given to the firefighters, police, and general employees.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that the additional 1 1/2% increase making the
firefighter's increase 11 1/2% is included within the resolution.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like to discuss the City Admini-
strator's salary increase separately, namely when the Council does the
evaluation of his job performance.
The Council and Administrator briefly discussed when the City
Administrator should.receive a salary increase.

Councilman Rosenberg stated he has heard that the Chamber of
Commerce has voted to vacate the building that they are currently
operating out of, therefore, he stated he would like to move on de-
claring that building as a source of funds or putting it out to bid
with some guidelines for the use, e.g, water -related use. He stated
if this is confirmed that the Chamber is vacating the building he
would like for staff to submit to Council some proposals. Councilman
Rosenberg stated he met with Dave Garth, SLO City's Chamber of Commerce
Director and discussed the relationship they have with the City of SLO.
He stated if the Council does decide to have a visitor information
center, then the building that the Chamber is in now could be considered
for the building for the visitor information center.
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that he received the Chamber of
Commerce's audit report.
Councilman Rosenberg stated prior to his commenting on the Notice
of Intent to have a recall of Councilmen Cantine and Harmon, that he
would like to see what the acutal details of this matter are.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he is very concerned with the one -page
advertisement that appeared in the Sun Bulletin entitled "We Apologize"
He stated he felt it was absolutely atrocious and that it is the kind
of activity that polarizes the community. He stated he felt the adver-
tisement is one-sided and implies that the action of the City Council
was arbitrary and that the Council was trying to get rid of the parking
space and was an anti -business move. The ad completely ignored the
intent of the Council, e.g., discussions Councilman Rosenberg held with
the Chamber of Commerce and the Public Services Director in an attempt
to get replacement parking spaces. The ad completely ignored the fact
that the Council is willing to go to an ordinance change so that the
hardware shop could have two parking spaces in front of the business.
He then stated he was infuriated when he saw the various businesses
posting this ad in front of their stores. He felt this was a terrible
image to project for visitors coming to the City.
Councilman Reasor asked what the hold up on the construction of
the restroom on the Embarcadero by the harbor office was.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he did not know, but would look into the matter
and report back to Council on this.
Councilman Reasor noted that the discussion concerning the Pro-
perty Maintenance Code for the City had an effect in the area of Shasta,
Harbor, and Main streets.

Mayor Shelton stated he would like to make the following appoint-
ments to the Finance Committee: Howard Gaines, Carl Ansberry, Jim
Goldsbrough, Paul Nelson, and Milt Levy. He then stated he would
like to appoint Don Bailey to the Environmental Resources Committee
to replace Chuck Orr. He then stated he would send a letter to these
people giving them specific direction.
Councilman Rosenberg asked what the role of the Finance Committee
is specifically.
Mayor Shelton stated the Finance Committee examines the financial
activities connected to the City from budgeting to capital expenditures
and makes recommendations to the City Council.
Mr. Guluzzy stated there are some problems with some of the people
serving on the committees as it relates to their request for information.
He stated he would like to establish a standard operating procedure of
giving the City a certain amount of notice and time to assemble the in-
formation. The Council concurred.
Mayor Shelton asked what the status of preparing the bid speci-
facations for community promotion was.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would like for staff and the Chamber
to review the contract between SLO City and SLO's Chamber of Commerce
in relation to developing the bid specifications. He suggested this
matter be scheduled at'a City Council Study Session for conceptual
approval.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like for a copy of the contract to
be sent to the Chamber of Commerce Board.
Mayor Shelton stated the(S-enior Citizens) have a building which
they have been occupying for five years through the City's Recreation
Department. They have been asked to move and they are reluctant to
move because of an agreement which is suppose to be drawn up for the
other building which has not been done. He asked what the hang up is.
Mr. Guluzzy stated the senior citizen's attorney is holding up
the matter. He is suppose to develop a final draft agreement.' Council's
direction was to put together an agreement that would give them a site
as an interim measure so they can'go out and solicit federal, state,
etc. funds. Staff is recommending that the $10,000 that has been set
aside be used for upgrading of the parking lot and the undergrounding
of the utilities, and some minor repairs of the interiors. Mr. Guluzzy
stated he then reported back to Council at the following meeting and
discussed this matter with them. The seniors then stated they had the
possibility of getting $6,000 from the County, but needed a 10 year
commitment concerning the site, but the Council had stated, that
particular evening, that a two to three year agreement was a reason-
able period of time to seek grants and would not commit themselves to
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
September 11, 1979 Regular Meeting
Page 8
any long-term lease or agreement with anyone at this time. Based upon
this the draft was put together and is now being finalized by the
senior citizen's attorney.
Mayor Shelton asked if the agreement was the vehicle that would
allow the seniors to get the money from the County.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the agreement was so the seniors
could prove that they have land allocated to them so they could get
federal funds. During this time, the County came back and stated as
a part of this agreement they need a 10 year committment and the
Council said no to this.
Mayor Shelton expressed concern with the situation stating the
Council's credibility is suffering because this matter has been pending
since April and it is almost October..
Councilman Rosenberg asked if the seniors could move into the
Teen Center prior to the improvements being made.
Mr. Guluzzy stated staff feels based upon the Council's past
direction, the intent was to have the improvements made prior to the
senior citizens occupying the building.
Mayor Shelton stated the $10,000 was clearly for a senior citizens's
building site and not a parking lot.
Mr. Guluzzy stated the $10,000 was available for improvements.
Staff's suggestion was to take the $10,000 to improve the parking lot
to create 10 parking spaces, create underground utilities and bring
interior "up to snuff." Rather than committing the money to a specific
group staff recommended the money be spent for a public facility.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like to get the seniors in the building
and get the long-term agreement done. The $10,000 was specifically for a
Senior Citizen's Community Building only and not for renovation of the
existing Teen Center or for a parking lot.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the $10,000 that was earmarked for
a Senior Citizen's Community Center building remain in obli-
gated funds for that purpose. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Reasor.
Mr. Campbell stated he understood that the senior citizens were not
going to be the only group using the building, therefore, he agreed
with Mr. Guluzzy that it should be called a public facility.

Councilman Rosenberg stated he would like staff to contact the
senior citizens and let them know what has transpired this evening
and provide them an estimated dated of when they can move into the
building.
Councilman Reasor stated staff should look into red rock rather
than asphalt for the parking lot.
Councilman Harmon suggested than an agenda committee be formed
consisting of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem. The purpose of the commit-
tee would be to advise the City Administrator of what to place on the
agendas, length, etc.
Mayor Shelton stated he would suggest the Council provide staff
with direction to resolve this matter, to balance the agenda in terms
of length, and to solicit comments from the Council concerning the
agenda.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he disagrees with the suggestion. He
feels the compiling of the agenda is the Mayor and City Administrator's
responsibility. He stated he appreciates the goal, but would not sup-
port the suggestion as presented.
Councilman Reasor stated he is not for or against Councilman
Harmon's suggestion.
Mayor Shelton suggested in the past it has not been a process of
sitting down to examine what is on the agenda and discuss possible al-
ternatives of scheduling items, etc. He stated he could set aside a
specific time to review the agenda and if there is something that is
being placed on the agenda that he does not agree with that he could
canvas the council and seek direction from them regarding this matter.
The council concurred.
Councilman Harmon asked if the Council would be receiving a copy
of the Harbor Advisory Board minutes.
Mr. Guluzzy stated as soon as he receives a copy of them that he
will forward a copy to the Council. He stated that the HAB's second
meeting was cancelled because Mr. Gurnee was ill and unable to attend,
but there will be another one called soon and a copy of the HAB's agenda

Mr. Guluzzy advised Council that he had met with Brown and Caldwell
(B and C) on Wednesday, September 5, 1979 and discussed the problems and
progress; other elements of the(_Wastewater Treatment Plant the 10% de-
sign report and the five elements. He also stated he negotiated the

and the results of the negotiations. Jim Snow from the State Water Re-
sources Control Board attended the meeting in the afternoon on September
5th. The State does not have many problems with the elements of the
Water Management Plan that have been put together and revised. The
Council previously authorized the execution of an agreement and there
is a draft put together for the compensation, scope of services, and the
5700-41 forms. The contract for basic engineering services would be
$52,336 and the fixed professional fee would be $6,264. Special engi-
neering services would be as needed and only upon written authorization
by the City Administrator acting as project officer not to exceed $20,000.
This shall not be increased without an amendment to the agreement. B and C
will hire a sub -contractor to do some of the work relative to the
Water Management Study. The State will be sent a copy of this agree-
ment.
Mr. Guluzzy then reviewed the first status report from B and C on
the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The element relative to the outfall
is about two weeks behind because of additional field work that must be
done. He also stated there is some confusion about who owns the outfall,
whether it is Texaco or the City. The City has written to Texaco and re-
quested permission to cut a chunk out about the surf line so the City can
look inside the pipe and see its corrosiveness. The second element
is on the water reclamation scheme in terms of the analysis they are
doing there. The City negotiated an agreement with Mr. Domenghnini to
allow B and C to drill lb test holes to check the land for reclamation.
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that shortly staff would be asking
B and C to attend a City Council meeting to present their report
publicly.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he has received a draft from the Department of
Water Resources in regards to an alternate source study which Mr. Gurnee,
Mr. Bressan, and himself will be reviewing and presenting to Council.
Mr. Guluzzy noted that Mr. Sheahan will serve as the overall pro-
ject manager for the Water Management Study.
Mr. Guluzzy advised Council that he has completed the newsletter
and it has been sent to the printer and the printer will set it up in
the format in which it will be mailed to the residents, make the
necessary deletions, etc.

(1) Property Maintenance Code
Mr. Gurnee stated staff has been working on developing the Property
Maintenance Code since May. The Property Maintenance Code defines
twenty-six categories of various property maintenance nuisances in-
cluding abandoned buildings, diseased trees, accumulated trash, deteri-
orating structures, weeds, and campers parked for inordinante periods
of time in yard areas.
Mr. Gurnee showed several slides that were taken throughout Morro
Bay that depicted areas needing property maintenance. They included
examples of a storage building next to a residence that is deteriorating;
abandoned buildings; substandard homes; illegal hookups of trailers;
abandoned business signs that are no longer in business (Cozy Motel);
Red and Reamer storage yard; cars parking; Paynes Music (paint peeling
off of wall) which is located in central downtown area; the corner of
Harbor and Embarcadero there is a dirt parking lot with weeds that
charges for parking; the old "Airport" building is being used as a resi-
dence; the Brebe's T=Pier; outdoor storage of dumpsters that are not
screened and are out in the public right-of-way; on Scott Street there
is a lot of storage sheds,'dumping grounds, people park buses, boats,
campers, in the frontyard setbacks which is against the code; bluff
erosion; a house that is full of garbage and has garbage setting outside.
Mr. Gurnee then reviewed the current code enforcement problems and
his proposed code enforcement program.
Mr. Gurnee reviewed Ordinance No. 167 which would amend the code
section dealing with maintenance of property and public nuisances.
The sections are as follows: (1) purpose and intent; code enforcement

official; maintenance of property nuisance unlawful; abatement of
nuisance; right of entry; first notice --finding of nuisance; second
notice --hearing to abate nuisance; hearing by code enforcement official;
presentation and service of order to abate; appeal procedure; abatement
by city; cost accounting --notification; assessment --lien; and alterna-
tive actions available.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he agrees with the objective and feels
that a Property Maintenance Code is necessary. He then stated there
needs to be some kind of a mechanism to use as a guideline for inter-
pretation. In regards to #16 he felt staff was trying to interpret
someone's motives and should be rewritten to meet the actions that are
intended; #25 the phrase "so out of harmony" needs to be tightened up;
and #28(i) the phrase "immoral acts" is too broad.
Councilman Reasor stated he feels the Property Maintenance Code is
really needed. It is necessary to get rid of nonconforming uses and the
illegal hook-ups of trailers that serve as permanent residents. Number
19 should only address abandoned vehicles but provisions for parking in
streets for families, that may have more cars than driveway space must
be made.
Commissioner Hofstead stated she felt there should be some pro-
visions made to allow people to report a violation without having to
give their name because of possible retaliation from their neighbors.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would like to see some attention
given to the upgrading of e.g., Morro Bay Boulevard with planters,
benches, etc. He stated this is an area that the City could work with
the Chamber of Commerce on.
Mr. Campbell stated he agrees with the City Council 100% con-
cerning the Property Maintenance Code, but that the City must set an
example, e.g., the lease law requirement that has not been enforced
for years.
The Council and Planning Commission discussed the City's trash
pick-up program that occurs'in April and suggested that two trash pick-
ups be scheduled per year, rather than the one. They felt this would
eliviate some of the Property Maintenance Code problems that were men-
tioned by Mr. Gurnee.
At 8c47'p.m. the Planning Commission left.
(2) Newsletter
Mr. Guluzzy stated he had tried to develop a simple newsletter
using easy to understand English. He advised Council that the depart-
ment heads had reviewed the newsletter. He also noted the time con-
straints involved in getting the newsletter completed.

Councilman Reasor expressed concern with the budget session; he
feels that there is an invalid comparison relating to the figures.
He suggested the figures compare last year's budget to this year's
budget. He was also concerned with the terminology utilized in the
newsletter. He felt if the newsletter was longer than two pages, then
it would probably not even get read. Councilman Reasor concluded his
comments stating he would like for each individual topic to be from
five to seven sentences long.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he feels the wastewater treatment
plant project and the water situation in Morro Bay are the most im-
portant items, and should definately be included within the first
newsletter. He suggested these items be addressed by dealing with the
following: (1) why Morro Bay is not meeting the Federal requirements;
(2) as a result of Morro Bay not meeting the Federal requirements
Morro Bay has a building and water moratorium placed upon it; (3)
explain what steps have been taken by the City to alleviate this,
e.g., Phase I and Phase II of the wastewater treatment plant being
implemented and the cost involved; (4) comment on the City's current
plan; and (5) what does the future of Morro Bay look like.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the text concerning the Water Manage-
ment Plan was fine. He then addressed the Long -Term Water Study
stating that it is a very important item, and that he would like to
see it rewritten so that it does not sound like a "typical governmental
document", and to give it life. He suggested that the resolution that
is quoted within the text, as being adopted by the Council, should go
further by explaining briefly its contents and advising the public
that they can obtain 'a copy of it at City Hall.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the text concerning the sewer use fee
should explain how the City arrived at the rate of'$1.75.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he has the same concerns as Councilman
Reasor does as it relates to the City's municipal budget. He stated
the budget must address how much more is the 1979/80 budget than the
1978/79 budget; and what will the citizens of Morro Bay be getting for
the increase in the budget: He also stated that the reorganization of
the City should either be addressed within the first or second news-
letter.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he feels the Police Department status
report should be dropped from the first newsletter because it does not
have the magnitude of importance as, e.g., the wastewater treatment
plant does.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he feels the text on the Human
Resources Committee is fine, but that he would suggest that a tele-
phone number and a contact person be included within the item.

Councilman Rosenberg suggested the questionnaire be rewritten
with a single question asking the citizens the following: "Which
way would you rather see the newsletter distributed? with the
water bills (50% each month), _printed in the Sun Bulletin, or
door-to-door.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would like for the next newsletter
to include something about the centralized PBX telephone number and
the citizen complaint system.
Councilman Harmon suggested that the sewer use fee, budget,
wastewater treatment plant, and the Human Resources Advisory Com-
mittee item be included in the next newsletter. He also stated that
the final printed copy is very important and that the print should
not be too small.

B. HEARINGS, APPEARANCES, AND REPORTS
B-1 Ordinance No. 170 designating.no-smoking areas\in certain public
places.
Mr. Guluzzy briefly reviewed the proposed ordinance and advised
Council that it had been published in its entirety in the newspaper.
Bob Thomas stated he feels the Council is on the right track; that
non-smokers have rights too; and that the proposed ordinance is not
strong enough. Mr. Thomas then stated in waiting rooms, libraries,
etc. a separate room should be designated for smokers, because if the
smoking section is in the same room as the non-smoking section, the
non-smoker would still be affected. He also stated that smoking in
outside areas, e.g., grand stands causes problems. Mr. Thomas did
not feel that smoking within lobbies should be permitted because
children travel through the lobbies. If smoking is going to be per-
mitted in lobbies then he felt that two lobbies should be provided.
Mr. Thomas concluded his comments stating Morro Bay's No -Smoking ordi-
nance should be similar to the County of San Luis Obispo.
Carol Lutz stated the smoking and non-smoking sections in the
restrooms should be separate. She also stated since Morro Bay's
restaurants seating capacity is small in comparison to San Luis Obispo
restaurants, that the seating capacity of 50 or more persons require
the posting of "No Smoking" signs within eating establishments be
lowered to e.g., 25.
Mr. Diffley advised the Council of the practice of several restau-
rants as it relates to smoking and non-smoking sections as follows:
Sebastians posts a sign in lobby; Apple Farm posts a sign outside; This
Old House has the hostess ask people if they prefer to sit in the smoking
or non-smoking section; because of the L-shape layout of Corcoran's it
has problems keeping the smokers from the non-smokers and the hostess is
responsible for this; Motel Inn has no problems and signs are posted;
and Wine Street Inn is on a voluntary basis. Mr. Difley then referred
to an article from the Los Angeles Times that talks about the effects
of smoking upon children who live with parents who smoke. The effects
include bronchitis and various allergies. He then talked about the
effects of "side stream smoke" on non-smokers.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he feels it is the County and City's
responsibility to limit air pollution as much as possible, therefore,
he stated he would support the ordinance. He also stated he supports
the mandatory provision, the posting of signs outside should be optional,
and the idea of separate smoking rooms is a good idea but is not economi-
cally feasible for the small businesses in Morro Bay.

Councilman Reasor stated he has mixed emotions about passing
another law and telling someone they cannot do something. He then
/ stated he would support the ordinance being on an optional basis for
restaurants to post signs, and that separate rooms are not affordable
for Morro Bay's small restaurants.
Councilman Harmon stated he agrees with Councilmen Rosenberg and
Reasor. He too noted that he is reluctant to legislate the qualities
that are necessary for clean air, but would like to see the businesses
support no -smoking areas because it makes sense. Councilman Harmon
concluded his comments stating he would support the mandatory pro-
vision.
Mayor Shelton expressed concern with the City mandating rules
on the people, but stated this is an area that does need to be addressed.
He then stated he would like to see public restaurants have both
smoking and non-smoking sections available.
Councilman Rosenberg suggested Ordinance No. 170 be amended as
follows: (1) change section 4(a) "Eating Establishments" to sub-
section (g) under Section 3, this would change the optional clause
to be mandatory; (2) new subsection (g) (first change) read: "...seating
50 or more persons, must post "No Smoking" signs within the eating es-
tablishment ."; and (3) new subsection ;g)'(second revision) delete
"shall" and insert: "...within the establishment as provided herein -
above may at his discretion, cause to be posted..."
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that Ordinance No. 170 as amended
be read by title only . The motion was seconded by Councilman
Harmon and carried unanimously.
Mr. Guluzzy read Ordinance No. 170 by title only. "Ordinance
designating no -smoking areas in certain public places."

of Ordinance No. 170. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Harmon and carried by roll call vote with Councilman Cantine
absent.

MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL'
August 27, 1979 Regular Meeting
Page 6
Amendment No. 3: Page 12. Under "Housing Problems" add a
new su -paragraph "e" under paragraph 3 as follows:
"e. All of these factors, coupled with moratoriums on water
and sewer hookups and changes in financing favoring condo-
minium development over apartments, are expected to give
rise to condominium conversions and the problems of tenant
displacement, reductions in the City's rental housing stock,
and rising rents that can accompany such conversions."
Amendment No. 4: Page 13. Add.a new sub -section "9" as
follows:
"9. Pressures to convert existing apartments are expected
to increase in Morro Bay. Unless properly controlled and
regulated, the conversion of apartments to condominiums could
cause significant displacement of existing residents, remove
units from the rental housing market, and cause an increase
in rents which could seriously affect low to moderate income
housing opportunities in the City of Morro Bay."
Amendment No. 5: Page 16. Change the third sentence in the
first paragrph and add a new second and third paragraph to
read as follows:
"...The latest in multiple family
y housing, condominiums and
condominium conversions, have also found their way to Morro
Bay. "Condominium: is not so much a particular type of
unit as it is a form of ownership whereby a portion of a
larger price of property, building, or airspace is owned or
otherwise controlled by an individual owner or owners.
Lands zoned for multi -family use have increasingly gone the
way of condominiums rather than rental apartments. And as
both land and water have become scarce in Morro Bay, con-
versions of existing apartment buildings to condominiums are
one of the few types of development that can occur under the
water and sewer moratoriums that affect the City."
So far, many of the condominiums and most of the condominium
conversions that have been approved by the City share many
of the same problems as apartments when it comes to the poor
design and lack•of amenities that typify multi -family housing
in Morro Bay.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Rosenberg and carried

BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting
Mr. Gurnee advised the Council that the Planning Commission on
August 6, 1979 adopted a series of Housing Element amendments and a
negative declaration as a part of that action. It is now necessary
that the Council adopt the amendments so the Housing Element can be
updated to reflect condominiums and condominium conversions. This
is a requirement by law. After these amendments are adopted the
second draft of the condominium conversion ordinance will be reviewed
at a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and City Council. He
then briefly summarized the five proposed amendments to the Housing
Element.
Mayor Shelton opened the public hearing. No public comments
were offered. Mayor Shelton closed the public hearing.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the City Council approve the
following five amendments to the Housing Element:
Amendment No. 1: Page 9. Add a new objective as follows:
"Condominiums and Condominium Conversions
The City should devise an ordinance and development standards
to govern the development of condominium and condominium
conversions in Morro Bay. Further, the City should make
special provisions in the ordinance that would be designed
to achieve the following purposes and intents regarding
condominium conversions:
(a) Protect the buyers of converted condominiums
(b) Protect the tenants occupying the units to be converted
(c) Assist and ease tenant relocations
(d) Protect the supply of rental housing
(e) Improve the site, buildings, and units
(f) Facilitate home ownership by tenants and low to moderate
income people."
Amendment No. 2: Page 11. Add a new sub -section "ll" to
"Housing Trends" as follows:
"ll. Lands zoned for multi -family use have increasingly
gone the way of condominiums rather than rental apartments --
a trend expected to continue. Further, both developable land
and water have become scarce in Morro Bay, conversions of
existing apartment buildings to condominiums are one of the
few types of development that can occur under the water and
sewer moratoriums that affect the City. While a source of
least cost purchase housing, condominium conversions pose a
number of social, economic, and design problems that should
be addressed by the City before they are allowed to occur."

Mr. Guluzzy advised Council that this matter is still under nego-
tiations and requested it be continued to another Council meeting with
the date uncertain. The Council concurred.
D-3 Approval of Collective Bargaining Agreements with Police, Fire,
and City Employees Associations.
Mr. Guluzzy reviewed the three contracts with the Council noting
(1) all of the contracts exclude department heads; (2) the firefighters
contract is for 11 1/2% increase for 1979/80 because Morro Bay's fire-
fighters' salaries are lower than all of San Luis Obispo County and
surrounding areas firefighters; and (3) a comparative analysis of the
firefighter's salaries will be done so that the positions may be brought
up to parity with other cities. Mr. Guluzzy concluded his comments
stating if the Council approves the three contracts that a salary reso-
lution would be presented at the next Council meeting.
Councilman Reasor stated he has a problem with the Firefighter's
contract and would like to discuss it further.
Councilman Rosenberg stated (1) he is supportive of a two year con-
tract so that the City does not have to spend the time next year in
negotiations, (2) during the budget process next year a definite amount
of money will be able to be set aside for salaries; (3) inflation this
year is going to be 13% and the City is lucky to be able to pay only
10% salary increases; and (4) there is a need to have a better balance
in the area of salaries for the firefighters.
Councilman Harmon had no comments.
Mayor Shelton stated the Los Angeles Cost -of -Living Index was used
as a guide in determining the salary increases. He then stated he would
support the three Memorandums of Understanding.
MOTION: Councilman Reasor moved that the City Council approve the
City Employee's Association and Peace Officer's Association
Contracts and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign
them. The motion was seconded by Councilman Harmon and
carried with Councilman Cantine absent.
Councilman Reasor stated he could not support the 11 1/28 salary
increase to the firefighters because the extra 1 1/2% increase is
based upon data that has been furnished from the firefighters. Until
the City can substantiate the inequity of the firefighter's salary he
did not feel the increase should be granted. Councilman Reasor noted
that the City agreed to conduct a salary analysis within one and one-
half years. He concluded his comments stating he would support a 10%
increase, but not an 11 1/28 increase.

Councilman Harmon stated since the additional 1 1/28 increase is

he would still stupport the 11 1/2% increase.
Mayor Shelton stated because the City failed to conduct the com-
parability study last year he feels that it is fair to grant the 11 1/2%
increase this year while the study is being completed. The additional
1 1/2% increase will not cause the firefighter's salaries to go above
or match other surrounding cities.
Councilman Reasor stated factors such as population, types of fires
that the firemen come in contact with, the area, etc. must be considered
when making an assessment for the salaries.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the City Council approve the Fire-
fighter's Memorandum of Understanding and authorize the Mayor
and City Clerk to sign. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Harmon and carried by roll call vote with Councilman Reasor
voting no and Councilman Cantine absent.
/ D-4 Council will consider a response to the County 's request for
( tentative subscriptions for the7Naciamento water project.
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that the County has requested that
the City of Morro Bay provide them with an idea of what the City wants
to request for subscription for water services from the Naciamento water
project because the County is considering a bond issue.
Mr. Gurnee stated staff would recommend the Council request 1,500
to 3,000 acre feet of water be allocated to the City of Morro Bay from
the Naciamento water project.
Mrs. Keiser stated she feels that the City should ask for at least
2,000 acre feet of water. She also stated she had spoke to Clint Milne
from the County and he advised her that if the City does not ask for
enough that Morro Bay would have no recourse.
Mrs. Rowland stated she feels that 1,500 acre feet of water is
not a sufficient amount to request. She also noted that about 10%
of the water would be lost in dissapation during its transport. All
of the other communities are over -subscribing the amount of water and
Morro Bay should also.
Mr. Campbell expressed concern with the City subscribing to only
1,500 acre feet of water. He refered to the situation that Morro Bay
is in as it relates to Whale Rock. He stated he would like for the
City to subscribe to 3,000 acre feet of water.

/ Mr. Difley asked what the cost involved would be.
Mr. Gurnee stated this can not be determined at this time until
additional review and planning is done, right now the City only has
a range to work with.
Mr. Lemons stated he feels the City should request 3,000 acre
feet of water. Because of Morro Bay's severe water problem, the City
should be exploring all possible sources of supplemental water. He
also stated he does not feel the City should depend upon water wells
as a primary source of water.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he feels strongly that the City should
not indicate an interest of less than 3,000 acre feet of water, and that
he would even support 3,300 acre feet. He also stated he would like for
the city attorney to look into riparian rights of the water.
Councilman Reasor stated he would like to know what rights the
City has gained by the suit as it relates to the riparian rights in
the valley. He felt the City would be able to use some of the surplus
water in the valley, but that the quality would probably not get any
better. Salt water intrusion cannot be prevented and the City might
have to deal with this in the future. He also expressed concern with
the cost to the citizens of Morro Bay and felt the City should only
subscribe to the amount of water that is needed and not over -subscribe.
Councilman Harmon stated the Council does not have the final
figures as to what we can use as a City. He also stated this issue
is being looked at in a vacuum whereby the maximum allocation assumes
that we are not going to get any more water within the next six to
eight years. He stated he feels there is other water sources that are
available to the City and that he is not willing to make the above
assumption, therefore, he stated he would support staff's recommen-
dation of a minimum of 1,500 and a maximum of 3,000 acre feet of water.
Mayor Shelton stated since he has lived in the City, that Morro
Bay has been seeking 3,300 acre feet of water per year from Naciamento.
He noted that the figures are based upon 1974 data. Mayor Shelton also
stated he the community is skeptical concerning the 3,300 figures be-
cause Morro Bay's population is only 9,000 and they question why the
City wants 3,300 acre feet of water which would have a projected buildout
of doubling in the 'next 20 years. The City.is only going to be using
about 1,500 acre feet, but paying for 3,300 acre feet. The County does
not want to provide the City with figures for 2,000 acre feet because
in the past Morro Bay's subscription has been for 3,300. The City must
first decide what it wants in terms of buildout in the next 20 years,
e.g., 15,000, 13,000, 26,000 and these are the three alternatives that

that have been presented to the Council as it relates to the water needs.
Mayor Shelton stated he would agree with Mrs. Rowland's suggestion of
L1),�5,00 acre feet of water.
Supervisor Steve MacElvaine stated the situation involved here is
there are more subscribers than there is water. For example, if the
City feels that 2,000 acre feet of water is what is necessary for Morro
Bay, with all of the other cities involved setting specific numbers ex-
ceed 1,500, then percentage reductions will have to be done. Therefore,
Morro Bay must realize that there will be some cutback. He stated he
sees no reason why SLO County could not deliver the 1,500. There are
current efforts to build a tunnel between San Antonio Lake and Naciamento
take which would balance out in heavy rain years; there is a project
underway to build a hydro -electric dam or plant into the existing San
Antonio Dam which should be able to reduce some of our pumping costs.
There will be a terminal reservior in North Mountain in the transmission
facility of 900 acre feet so there should be no problem in getting the
water even in a drought year. The County is trying to find out what do
the County -wide subscribers want first and then the developments around
the lake, e.g., Oak Shores, Heritage Ranch would have an opportunity to
receive an allocation. Supervisor MacElvaine concluded his comments by
advising the Council to leave some flexibility because there are going
to have to be cutbacks.
Councilman Reasor left the meeting at 10:06 p.m. and returned at
10:08 P.M.
Councilman Rosenberg suggested that the City request 3,000 to
3,100 acre feet of water from the County, but also request figures
for planning purposes of 1,500 to 2,000 acre feet of water.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like to also see the figures involved
for 2,000 acre feet, but as far as the request to the County he would
support 3,000 acre feet.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that the City Council (1) support
3,100 acre feet of water as the figure submitted to the
County, (2) request a figure analysis be done for 1,500, 2,000
and 2,500 acre feet; and (3) that a letter be drafted to
Mr. Milne concerning these requests. The motion was seconded
by Mayor Shelton.
Councilman Reasor stated the only way that he would support the
motion is that that figures can be changed and that it is only a ten-
tative figure. He stated he would like to see some figures come out
that are realistic advising the residents how much it is going to cost
each month. He concluded his comments stating he supports the remainder
of the motion and reiterated the fact that approval of the motion would

be only with the understanding that this is a tentative figure and in
no way obligates Morro Bay to any quantity of water stated here and it
can be changed up until "X" amount of time.
Councilman Harmon stated he does not support the proposal, but
agrees with staff's recommendation. He then stated he feels that Morro
Bay is the only City in the County that is out of water and we have the
strongest case for receiving the amount of water we ask for.
The motion carried with Councilman Harmon voting no and
Councilman Cantine absent.

future he would like to schedule a joint meeting between the Harbor
Advisory Board and the City Council.
Councilman Harmon asked if the City has received any bids on the
Visitor Information Center.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he has not done anything on this matter because
of other priorities.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he understood that the Council re-
quested staff put together a request for bids noting the performance
criteria which would then come back to the Council for review.
Councilman Harmon asked when the City Council/City Administrator
evaluation would take place. The Council decided to await Councilman
Cantine's return from vacation prior to scheduling this matter.
Councilman Reasor stated he would like to discuss the City Admini-
strator's job performance amongst the Council first, and then with the

Councilman Harmon asked if the City could go ahead and begin looking
into the Chorro Basin, Giannini's well, and other options or wait until
the Water Management Study is done.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he would be meeting with Brown and Caldwell on
September 5, 1979 to discuss the final agreement for the Water Manage-
ment Study.
Councilman Harmon asked what the procedure of putting a ballot
measure on the next election would be.
Mr. LeSage stated he would research this matter and report back
to Council.
/ Mayor Shelton stated he received a letter from the Babe Ruth
Baseball Organization requesting that the existing Del Mar Par pro-
posal be called Roger D. Silacci Park. This man has worked fothe
youth in the community very vigorously. He was killed at work in an
accident and there are a lot of people in the community who have a
high regard for this man. He requested that Council seriously consider
this proposal to designate the park the tRoger D. SilaccilPark.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would like to receive a recommen-
dation from the Parks and Recreation Commission concerning this matter.
The Council concurred.
Mayor Shelton stated he would write a letter to the Parks and
Recreation Commission asking them to make a recommendation concerning
the possible re -naming of bel Mar Park.
Mayor Shelton asked if there had been any resolution or modifi-
cation to the issue of the curbing in the downtown area.
Mr. Bressan stated staff has changed the type of parking from
loading zone only to limited time parking in front of the theatre.
Mayor Shelton expressed concern with this because of the conflict
with the theatre opening at 7:00 p.m. and this is usually the on and
off loading area for the theatre. He asked if there was any marking
that could negate the possibility of unrestricted parking occuring.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL

Mr. Bressan stated there would have to be a change in the ordinance
that would state by special conditions that parking is restricted after
/ 6:00 p.m. in the green zone.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he feels a modification of the ordi-
nance and the erection of a sign that prohibits parking in that area
after 6:00 p.m. would provide the parking during the day, the red zone
that we need, and provide the clear zone to the theatre after 6:00 p.m.
The City Council directed staff to examine the alternatives avail-
able and look into modifying the ordinance.
E-2 City Attorney
Mr. LeSage referred to a letter from Mr. Domenghini concerning
his allowing the City to go on his property and drill ten test holes
so that the quality of his water may be tested. He requested that
the Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign an agreement
to do this work.
MOTION: Councilman Reasor moved that the City Council authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement with Domenghini
Trust as recommended in the letter. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Rosenberg and carried with Councilman Cantine
absent.
E-3 City Administrator
Mr. Guluzzy stated the City recevied four bids for a copy machine,
but only two of the bids met the specifications. He noted that $15,000
is proposed in the Capital Improvement Budget for a copier machine.
He then stated he would recommend the purchase of a Xerox 4500.
The City Council directed Mr. Guluzzy to place this matter on the
next Council agenda (September 11, 1979) for approval.
Mr. Guluzzy referred to a matter that he had discussed with Council
a few months ago concerning the possibility of providing the reserve
firefighters with disability insurance. The cost would be $220 for
the year to cover all of the City's firefighters.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like to see a written proposal con-
cerning this matter by addressing (1) what will it cost the City, (2)
what will it cost the firefighters, (3) address if there is any poten-
tial liability and(4) submit it to the Council at the September 11, 1979
meeting for review.

C. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
C-1 Resolution No. 39-79 adopting a Code of Ethics for elected and
appointed officials and employees of the City of Morro Bay.
Mr. Guluzzy reviewed the proposed Code of Ethics with the Council
and advised them he had met with the secretaries, department heads,
and the three City unions to discuss his proposal with them.
Mayor Shelton stated that the majority of the proposed Code of
Ethics is already contained under State law, therefore, he asked what
purpose would a Code of Ethics for the City of Morro Bay serve.
Mr. Guluzzy stated the Code of Ethics, as proposed, is stronger
is some areas than the State law.
Councilman Cantine expressed concern in the following areas:
(1) penalty for violating Code of Ethics is not spelled out; (2) the
City Administrator should not be put into the position of judging the
conduct of any elected or appointed official except at the City
Council's request; (3) Section 11 "Procedure for Processing Alleged
Violations" should address only City employees and not elected offi-
cials; (4) five days to appeal an alleged violation is not sufficient
time therefore, he suggested a minimum of two working weeks.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he felt Section 11 of the proposed
Code of Ethics should not be limited to only legislative issues and
that it should encompass e.g. litigation. He also stated he feels
that 10 working days would be best for the appeal procedure rather
than five. Councilman Rosenberg concluded his comments stating he has
no problem with the City Administrator making a judgement on elected
officials because this is done on a State level.
Councilman Reasor questioned the necessity of a Code of Ethics
and whether it should be applicable to the elected officials since
the State law covers elected officials and the majority of the areas
contained in the proposed Code of Ethics have already been addressed
at a State level. He also stated he does not feel the City Admini-
strator should be the reviewing officer for any appointed or elected
official.
Mayor Shelton stated the Code of Ethics is much more concrete
than what the City has had in the past. He also stated he feels
it is a valuable tool for all employees and elected or appointed
officals because it provides a vehicle for enforcement. The State
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL

of California's conflict of interest does not have enough details
as to what can or cannot be done.
Councilman Cantine reiterated the need for a penalty section
denoting the types of punishments that can occur if a violation of
the Code of Ethics occurs.
Mr. Campbell stated persons that are appointed to serve on commi-
ttees should be looked at very carefully, otherwise they will be able
to "run scott free".
Mr. Palmer stated if an employee is reprimanded then the Council
can review it after the City Administrator. If the situation is
something financial, then the Council should automatically review
the situation in an Executive Session.
Councilman Rosenberg noted in the proposed Code of Ethics the
person who has made the original complaint does not have a right of
appeal under Section 11.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved the Council approve the following
amendments to the proposed Code of Ethics: (1) Section 10:
first paragraph: ...interest in any legislation or other
official action of the Council shall disclose..."; (2) sec-
tion 11, first paragraph: Whenever a complaint regarding
this Code of Ethics is received from the public or other
individual, it shall be..."; and (3) Section 11, under "Appeal
Procedure" the first paragraph: ...in writing to the City
Council through the City Clerk within 10 working days or the
decision shall..." The motion was seconded by Mayor Shelton
and carried with Councilman Cantine voting no.
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that (1) Section 11, 1st paragraph
read: ...from the public or other individual concerning a
city employee shall be...", (2) Section 11, 2nd paragraph
read: ...involves the City Administrator or any appointed
or elected official, the City Council...", and (3) Section 11,
3rd paragraph relative to a City Councilman or the Mayor, said

Mayor Shelton questioned whether the City has the right to place
conditions, e.g. the City would like to see something accomplished on
a lease site, upon a lease site transfer.
Mr. Le Sage stated when there is a modification to the use of a
lease site, then the City has the right to review the lease and con-
sider placing conditions of approval upon the lease site. Whenever a
lease site is transfered, but the use does not change, then the City
does not have the right to place any additional conditions upon the

about $100,000 from the State for bailout funds. Mr. Guluzzy then
reviewed the expenditures/appropriations which breakdown into the
various programs which is compiled of the City Council, City Attorney,
City Administrator, Community Development, Planning and Building for
Administrative Services including (Finance, and Personnel) Capital
Improvement Program (which is not being adopted tonight, but is a part

Recreation, Non -Departmental, Public Services Department (hiring of
1 maintenance worker, 1 wastewater treatment plant operator, 1 planner,
2 additional engineering aides, 2 engineering technicians, and 1
assistant civil engineer), hiring of a clerk receptionist to answer the
new telephone system and to handle the citizen complaint system.
Mr. Hempenius asked how much revenue the City receives because
of tourists.
Mr. Guluzzy stated in 1978/79 the City received $199,757 bed
tax and is estimating $180,000 from bed tax for 1979/80 fiscal year.
He also stated the sales and use taxes are estimated at $410,000.
Mr. Guluzzy concluded his comments noting that $31,000 is being
budgeted for community promotions.
Mr. Hempenius and Mayor Shelton had a lengthy discussion con-
cerning the breakdown of the community promotion funds ($31,000),
namely the amount to be allocated for tourism.
Mr. Red expressed concern with the proposed hiring of additional
planning staff when there is a lack of work to be done since the City
has a moratorium placed upon it and building will not take place for
the next three to five years.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the staff would be working on various
items including the Water Management Study, Capital Improvement Program,
General P1an,'Condominium Conversion Ordinance, etc.
Mr. Hempenius suggested monies from unobligated reserve be allo-
cated for the purpose of revitalizing the downtown area, since the
Council expressed a desire to upgrade the downtown previously.

Mr. Guluzzy reviewed the draft contract with the Council noting
the Water Management Study would cost about $40,000 to $55,000. He
also stated Jim Snow of the State Water Resources Control Board is
happy with the proposed scope of work and has estimated 1 1/2 to 2
weeks to review the document. Mr. Guluzzy concluded his comments
stating it would take about 6 to 9 months to complete the Water Manage-
ment Study.

the Consumers Advisory Committee to the Health Agency dated March 31,
1979 which requests that Morro Bay, along with the other cities in the
San Luis Obispo County, adopt a no -smoking ordinance. This would bring
the City into unity with the County. Mr. Guluzzy then reviewed a
letter he received from'Dr. Howard Mitchell of the SLO County Health
Agency, dated August 13, 1979 stating his strong support for a no -
smoking ordinace. Dr. Mitchell's letter also noted his strong support
for restaurants to have smoking and non-smoking sections.

Coast Lung Association. The letter expressed concern with the effects
of smoking, e.g., chronic bronchitis, asthma, heart disease, etc.,
and stated the Association supports the adoption of a non-smoking
ordinance.
Mrs. Orvas stated she supports the adoption of a non-smoking
ordinance and feels it is long overdue. Smoking is a personal
habit and when non-smokers are in public places that do not have
restricted smoking areas, the non-smokers are forced to join the
habit.
Dr. Kolb stated he supports the ordinance.
Mayor Shelton stated he would like to see the non-smoking ordi-
nace scheduled for a public hearing at the August 27, 1979 meeting.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he feels it is the government's re-
sponsibility to protect the rights of common property, e.g., water,
air, etc. Therefore, Councilman Rosenberg expressed his strong sup-
port for a non-smoking ordinance. He concluded his comments stating
he is concerned with the sentence in section 4 which reads: An owner
of an eating establishment who provides "No Smoking" areas within the
establishment as provided hereinabove shall cause to be posted in a
conspicuous location outside of the establishment a sign that informs
the general public that "No Smoking" areas are provided within." He
felt this statement is not necessary.
Councilman Cantine stated he would like to see the ordinance
scheduled for a public hearing.
The Council scheduled the non-smoking oridnance for a public
hearing on August 27, 1979.

E. INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 City Council
Jody Giannini, Chairman of the Citizen's Human Resources Advisory
Committee provided a report to the Council concerning the Committee's
activities over the last 8 weeks. He stated he had placed news re-
leases in the Sun Bulletin requesting individuals with expertise in
various areas to submit their names to serve on advisory committees
for the City.

Mr. Giannini stated the Human Resources Advisory Committee feels
that the Public Safety Committee should be given a list of topics as
a base from which to start. It will be up to the committee as to when
and where they will meet; they will elect a chairman; minutes of each
meeting will be taken; and they will be under the guidance of the Human
Resources Committee. The intended purpose of the committee is to estab-
lish community desires in the areas that might be considered in the
public safety department. The committee could also develop a disaster
preparation plan and develop flood and earthquate plans. Mr. Giannini
then recommended that Donald Sedgley a retired mechanical engineer that
has operated the Outboard Service in Morro Bay since 1972; Robert
Dengler an assistant highway engineer for the State of California; Joe
Colouch who owns Joe's Exxon and has been a resident of Morro Bay since
1952; Bob Spinellini who owns the Tradewind's Motel; and Grace Hendges
who has been a resident of Morro Bay for 25 years, a housewife, and
manages the Morro Bay Marina be appointed to serve on the Public Safety
Committee.
Mr. Giannini then addressed the area of selecting a Chief of Police
and suggested the Council allow an ad hoc committee to be formed with
Persons who reside outside of Morro Bay to serve on it for the purpose
of developing the selection criteria. He then suggested the committee
be comprised of two people from the elementary schools, 1 person from
the junior and senior high schools, 1 downtown merchant, and 1 person
from the waterfront businesses.
Councilman Cantine commended the Human Resources Committee's
efforts and then addressed the need for the committee to have a direc-
tive from the Council in the development of a profile for the Chief of
Police. 'Councilman Cantine stated he would like to know what the back-
ground and expertise of the people that will be serving on the committee
is to see if any additions or deletions should be made; the sequence of
steps involved in advertising; screening, and appointment; and the
Council should provide the committee with a specific list of items
that the committee should consider.
Mr. Giannini reviewed some of the areas that the committee is
looking towards which are as follows: (1) are.current levels of law
enforcement adequate, if not, what areas need emphasis, (2) are current
allocations of public resources for public safety services proper and
adequate, (3) what levels of traffic enforcement are desirable for the
community, (4) what public safety facilities are needed to meet the
future needs, (5) should peace officer authority be given to the har-
bor patrol, etc.

Mr. Giannini requested the Council provide concept approval of the
public safety committee and support the persons recommended to serve on
the committee.
Mayor Shelton asked how the Human Resources Committee arrived at
a recommendation of five persons to serve on the Public Safety Committee.
Mr. Giannini stated the Human Resources Committee tried to get as
broad of a background of people as possible without getting too many
individuals.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that the Council Human Resources
Advisory Committee be advised that (1) they are generally
on the right track, (2) the first two tasks of the committee
would be to recommend nominees and guidelines for setting up
of the ad hoc committee for the selection criteria of the
Police Chief and the preparation of emergency plans and (3)
the Mayor appoint Donald Sedgley, Robert Dengler, Joe Colouch,
and Grace Hedges to the Public Safety Committee.
Mr. Giannini stated he is hoping to have a report from the Com-
munity Promotions Committee within the next two meetings.
Mr. Guluzzy stated the City has on record a resolution that
authorized work on the Zanzibar Associates Tract No. 733 which stated
that all of the work would have to be done and then the bond would
be released. They have now requested that the bond be released by
the City. He then advised Council that the Public Services Department
has inspected the work and the recommendation is that,90% of the total
bond ($45,325) be released and that the other 10% of the bond be re-
leased contingent upon (1) all dirt, rubble, and dibris generated
from the construction site be removed from the City right-of-way in
the area of Main Street and Zanzibar Street and (2) that the water
system be tested to see the results of the color formed bacteria which
should be less than 2.2 MPN/100ml as required by the State Health
Department. The $4,432.50 (10%) will be released one year later.
Mr. Guluzzy concluded his report by advising the Council that it
appears that the architect needs the money for other projects. Staff
recommends these funds be released contingent upon the above two
conditions being met.
MOTION: Mayor Shelton moved that the City Council support staff's
recommendation. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Rosenberg and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the matter of funds for community
promotion needs to be addressed since the City is already into the
1979/80 fiscal year.

MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that the City Council direct staff
to request bids to run a.visitor information center for the
City and the contract include performance criteria and
accounting expenses. The approximate expenditure would
be $16,000 and the rent for the building would be about
$2,000 to $3,000 which should be included within the bid.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Harmon.
Councilman Reasor and Cantine stated until the issue of the
Chamber of Commerce's surplus funds is resolved they could not support
putting community promotions out to bid.
The motion carried with Councilmen Cantine and Reasor voting
no.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that the City Council direct
staff to execute a rent-free lease with the Chamber of
Commerce for the current facility for the remainder of
this fiscal year.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would like to ensure that the re-
mainder of the money, whatever is left over after executing the contract
go to the Community Promotions Committee so they can begin work on
their task.
MOTION: Councilman Harmon moved that the city attorney be directed to
draw up a lease for the harbor office building in the amount
of $200.00 per month, for one year for whoever wants it. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Rosenberg.
Councilman Rosenberg expressed concern with the relationship be-
tween the Council and the Chamber of Commerce.
Councilman Harmon stated he feels whoever makes a bid for the
promotional services for the City would include the amount for rent
within it. The money would be transferred from the City to them so
that everything is documented in writing and nothing is left open for
criticism.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would only support that view if
the Chamber was permitted to at least remain in the building until
that decision and bid has been accepted.
Mayor Shelton stated he feels this would put the relationship
between the City and whoever rents the building on a business basis.
Therefore, he stated he would support the motion.

Councilman Cantine stated he feels that the building that the
Chamber of Commerce is currently in is a good location, therefore
he stated he wants it to be part of the bids that are submitted.
The motion carried with Councilmen Cantine and Reasor voting no.
Mr. Campbell stated based upon the motion that has been made,
that he would like the record to reflect his desire to rent the
building upon the termination of the current lease at the end of
the fiscal year.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that the City Council grant the
Chamber of Commerce the first right of refusal on the lease
of the current Chamber of Commerce building. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Harmon.
Councilman Cantine expressed concern with the following: (1)
carry over funds, (2) he is not satisfied that the Board of Directors
reflects the objectives of the City Council and the City of Morro
Bay properly, and (3) the Chamber has some administrative problems.
Councilman Cantine concluded his comments stating that until he has
had additional dialogue concerning these areas, that he could not
support the proposal.
Councilman Reasor expressed concern with the surplus funds that
the Chamber of Commerce has and the fact that the Chamber has not
fulfilled its goals for the 1978/79 fiscal year.
Mr. Hempenius stated the surplus funds is due to the fact the
Chamber received funding so late last fiscal year.
The motion failed with Councilmen Cantine, Reasor, and Mayor
Shelton voting no.
Councilman Cantine stated he would like for the Council's staff
reports for each agenda item to be individually done and placed with
each item rather than on one single page.
Councilman Rosenberg stated this would require additional paper
and the way that it is done none only requires one or two sheets.
The Council directed Mr. Guluzzy to report back to the Council
on this matter as to why he prepares his reports as he does, and if
there are any alternatives.
Councilman Cantine stated he would like for the Council to adopt
a resolution thanking Congressman Leon Panetta for his assistance in
getting the harbor dredging done.

MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the City Council direct staff
to prepare a resolution thanking Congressman Leon Panetta
for his assistance in getting the harbor dreding done. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Harmon and carried unani-
mously.
Councilman Cantine referred to a letter dated July 5, 1979 that
requests a reply by September 3 from Mr. Milne of the County in re-
gards to Nacimiento Lake. He then stated that he would be gone from
August 19 through September 14, 1979.
The Council stated they would like to discuss this matter at
the August 27, 1979 meeting.
Councilman Cantine asked whether the City has received Coastal
Commission approval of the wastewater treatment plant, if the Brown
and Caldwell contract has a date of completion in it, and is there a
new schedule reflecting the procedure since the City has a four to
five month delay.
Mr. Guluzzy stated the City has not received Coastal Commission
approval yet and will be appearing before the Coastal Commission in
September, there is no completion date in the Brown and Caldwell con-
tract, and no new schedule has been developed yet.
Councilman Harmon asked what the status of the Harbor Advisory
Board having its first meeting was.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he sent the members of the Harbor Advisory
Board a letter requesting they attend an organizational meeting on
August 23, 1979.
Mayor Shelton made the following appointments to the Environmental
Resources Committee: Victor Armstrong, Peter Diffley, Tina Francis,
Ann Kelsay, Maurice Macare' Chuck Orr, Charles Palmer, Ralph Peters,
and Ray Williams. He then stated that the ERC's first charge would be
to examine alternate sources of water.
E-2 City Attorney
Mr. LeSage requested an executive session to discuss litigation

Mr. Guluzzy advised Council that he has withdrawn as the hearing
officer for the disability hearing concerning Richard A. Schacht, the

being declared by the courts as not being impartial. Therefore, he
recommended the Council appoint Mr. Paul Baxter who works for the

(1) Code of Ethics
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that he had reviewed the Code of
Ethics with the city employees, secretaries, department heads, and the
three union representatives. He then reviewed the various sections of
the Code of Ethics with the Council.
Councilman Reasor stated he does not feel the first paragraph of
Section 10 is necessary because the State already requires it. He
also expressed concern with the proposed Section 11 which would grant
the city employees a right to appeal, which they do not have now. He
asked Mr. Guluzzy if any other city in San Luis Obispo County had
adopted a Code of Ethics.
Mr. Guluzzy stated the cities in San Luis Obispo County have not,
but many other cities throughout the State of California have.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would like to broaden Section 10
to include "other official City Council matters" and not only legis-
lation. Under Section 11 he suggested the first sentence of each
paragraph read: Whenever a complaint regarding an aledged violation
concerning this Code of Ethics is received... In regards to Section
11 the "appeal procedure" as it relates to a complaint against the
City Council or City Administrator, he stated he would like for a
method to be developed to handle this. Also under this section,
Councilman Rosenberg suggested that the first paragraph read: ...in
writing to the City Council through the City Clerk within ten working
days..." and the second paragraph read: ...the City Attorney and
render an advisory opinion to the person seeking..."

Councilman Harmon stated he had no comments and would support
the Code of Ethics being scheduled for a regular Council meeting.
Councilman Reasor stated in regards to gifts and favors, he felt
the FEP has certain standards and guidelines in their reporting, and
what is being proposed is stronger than the State law, therefore he
questioned whether this section should be included within the Code of
Ethics.
The City Council directed Mr. Guluzzy to discuss this matter
with the city attorney, make the necessary revisions proposed by the
Council, and to then schedule the Code of Ethics at a regular City
Council meeting.
/ (2) (-Joint Powers Agreement with South Bay Fire Department.
Mr. Guluzzy stated Bernie Zerr, Fire Chief and the South Bay
Fire Department discussed the possibility of developing a Joint
Powers Agreement to share costs with them for the purchase of an
excavation tool, firefighter's training facilities, equipment, re-
sources, etc.
Fire Chief Zerr stated the entire objective of the JPA is to be
more cost-effective. He advised Council that this is a concept that
is being used by many fire departments. He also stated a training
facility is very important and currently the City of Morro Bay does
not have one. The firefighters drill and train in the streets, or
on private property, therefore, the City is always facing a liability
problem in this area. Fire Chief Zerr stated he would like to look
into the possibility of developing an area on Chorro Creek Road for
the training facilities.
Councilman Harmon stated he supports the concept. The only prob-
lem with the proposed JPA is that the total percentage is based on an
assessed valuation. Because South Bay's population is probably -about
double the size of Morro Bay, Morro Bay would in essence pay for more
than our share. He also stated he would like for the Cayucos Fire
Department to be included when reseraching the program's feasibility.
Fire Chief Zerr stated the more people Morro Bay can get to parti-
cipate, the less the cost will be to the City. He also stated he
would be contacting the Department of Forrestry to see if they would
be interested.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he supports the concept, but has
some concerns with the following areas: (1) Item #3 should state the
formula and evaluate each item individually, e.g. cost of installing
equipment, cost of maintaining equipment, etc.; (2) Item #8 is not
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
July 25, 1979, Study Session
Page 3
fair and he suggested it read: ...the City shall pay to the county
the percentage of the market value of the improvements within thirty
(30) days..." The county should not receive the same proportion of
their contribution over the number of years they belonged. He then
asked Chief Zerr to contact the city attorney to see if the number of
days in section #8 could be changed from 30 days to 120 days. Council-
man Rosenberg concluded his comments asking whether the City is in a
position to have a JPA communication equipment.
Chief Zerr stated the City has direct communication with the
Cayucos Fire Department and the Department of Forrestry at this time.
Councilman Reasor then addressed the number of incidents that
occur in Morro Bay verses South Bay. He stated he felt South Bay
would probably use the equipment more than Morro Bay, therefore, this
factor would have to be taken into consideration. He also expressed
concern with the need for a penalty clause to be incorporated within
the JPA in case a member drops out.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the following needs to be addressed:
(1) if a member drops out from participating in the JPA, the equip-
ment would have to be divided up or that particular city's share pur-
chased from them and (2) who would get the equipment if the entire
JPA terminated.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved the meeting continue from 9:30 p.m.
to 9:45 p.m.. The motion was seconded by Councilman Harmon
and carried with Councilman Cantine and Mayor Shelton absent.
(3) Status Report
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that the Property Maintenance
Code discussion will be continued to the next study session on
August 15, 1979.
Mr. Guluzzy advised Council that he had talked with the State
Department of Water Resources relative to the long-range water study
that must be done, over and above the Water Management Plan, by Brown
and Caldwell. The State has given conditional approval on this.
The long-range study will have more details regarding the alternate
water sources available to Morro Bay, whereas, the State is primarily
interested in the quality of Morro Bay's water.
(4) Financial Statements
The City Council discussed the need to have financial statements
from prospective lease site owners who are going to be transferring
to other individuals. They stated they would like to know the primary
stockholders of a corporation, and that this information would be con-
fidential.

(5) Coast Guard
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that the lease for the Coast
Guard is up for renewal and that he does not have any guidelines to
follow as to what to charge them for the upcoming year. He stated
the building is currently leased to them for $35 and he suggested it
be raised to $50 per month. The dock space is leased for $50 per
year and he suggested it be raised to $50 per month.
The City Council directed Mr. Guluzzy to check with Monterey to
see what they charge. The Council pointed out the fact that since
the Coast Guard does provide a service by helping Morro Bay's busi-
nesses, the City in turn charges low rentals on the two buildings.

Mr. Guluzzy advised Council that Keith Gurnee and John Bressan
had compiled a very rough draft report for the Council to review as
it relates to possible access grant funds from the Coastal Conservancy.
Mr. Gurnee reviewed with the Council the potential locations for
street -end dockage/access points as follows: Harbor Street, Pacific
Street, Front Street, and Marina Street. Staff recommends Harbor
Street. He also reviewed the various approaches the Council could
utilize in proceeding with the application for grant funding as follows:
Dockage only; pier structure of viewing platform only; combination
viewing platform and docks; and the viewing pier now and the dock
construction later. Staff recommends the application be made for the
viewing pier now and the dock construction later. Mr. Gurnee also
advised the Council that the Coastal Conservancy will give priority
in the awarding of grants to those local public agencies which evidence
an ability to provide an amount of funding equal to the Conservancy
grant.
Councilman Rosenberg stated the viewing pier would cost about
$30,000 and the slips would cost about $20,000.
The City Council discussed the various locations for street -end
dockage/access and projects available for grant funding. Due to the
fact the grant funds that are given to the City must be matched with
City funds, the Council determined it would be best to utilize funds
from unobligated reserve for this purpose. They also discussed what
would be most cost-effective in terms of doing the viewing pier now
and the dock construction later or doing it all at once.

'Page 2
Councilman Reasor suggested the Council authorize staff to design
a viewing platform for $30,000 with the idea in mind that it would be
adaptable for tie-in to dockage at a later date. The reasons for his
suggestion were as follows: (1) Because funding would probably not
be for about a year an assessment of the City's finances would be done,
(2) a determination as to where the Council wants to actually do the
project could be researched thoroughly, (3) this would also allow time
for the entire Council to provide input regarding the project, and (4)
this would allow time for the Harbor Advisory Board to also review the
proposal. The Council concurred.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that Resolution No. 38-79 be
read by title only. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Harmon and carried with Councilman Cantine and Mayor Shelton
absent.
Mr. Guluzzy read Resolution No. 38-79 by title only, "Resolution
approving the application for Coastal Conservancy Public Access Grant
Project".
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that Resolution No. 38-79 be approved.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Harmon and carried with
Councilman Cantine and Mayor Shelton absent.
WEED ABATEMENT
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that it would be necessary for the
Council to adopt an addendum to Resolution No. 35-79. A "Resolution
establishing charges for Weed Abatement." The addendum spells out
additional parcels of land that were not included within Resolution
No. 35-79 which will allow the County Assessor to place a lien against
these properties that were abated by the City of Morro Bay.
MOTION: Councilman Harmon moved that the City Council adopt the
addendum, as proposed by staff, to Resolution No. 35-79.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Rosenberg and carried
with Councilman Cantine and Mayor Shelton absent.

Mr. Guluzzy requested an Executive Session to discuss labor
negotiations.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would also like to discuss a
legal matter in Executive Session and requested that Keith Gurnee,

D-1 Planned Development review by Sylvester Antone Tug Service, Inc.
to construct pier structure and parking on lease site #4
(501 Embarcadero).
Mr. Gurnee reviewed the staff report with the Council and stated
the Planning Commission considered the application from Sylvester
Tugs to build a pier structure on lease site #4 extending from the top
of the revetment wall to the pilings now holding existing floating
dockage. Staff recommends that the Council revise their policy re-
quiring a flat 12-foot lease side clearance for structures on all
water leases and approve the plans for pier and parking development
as submitted by Sylvester Tugs. Mr. Gurnee then advised the Council
that the Planning Commission's recommendation is to'consider the
Council's existing lease side clearance policy and approve the plan
submitted by Sylvester Tugs subject to three conditions.
MOTION: Councilman Harmon moved that the Council revise their current
policy as follows: "All water structures shall be subject to
a minimum 12 foot lease side clearance unless the Planning
Commission can make the findings that the locations of the
proposed structures and any boating operations to serve these
structures will not cause any interference with the struc-
tures or boating operations of neighboring leaseholds." The
motion was seconded by Councilman Reasor and carried with
Mayor Shelton absent.
MOTION: Councilman Reasor moved that the City Council approve the
plan submitted by Sylvester Tugs subject to the following
conditions:
(1) that no boat parking, loading, or unloading shall occur
between the proposed pier and the north lease side line;

(2) that the revetment wall be repaired or reconstructed to
City specifications; and
(3) that the existing six foot high"solid wooden fence be
extended toward the waterfront to conceal the garage
and work yard areas associated with the Sylvester Tug
building subject to the approval of staff.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Rosenberg and carried
with Mayor Shelton absent.
f D-2 Ten year lease with Robert M. Ashurst to use and operate State
r well 29S/llE32K2.1 City will be responsible for all maintenance
and repairs to.said well and appurtenances.
Mr. Guluzzy reviewed the proposed agreement between the City of
Morro Bay and Robert M. Ashurst and noted the following: (1)
Mr. Ashurst shall grant to the City the use and operation of State
well #29S/llE32K2 for a period of 10 years and (2) the City shall pay
Mr. Ashurst $130 per month or the amount of slip rental charged to
Mr. Ashurst by the City, whichever is greater.
Mr. LeSage advised the Council that he had met with Mr. Ashurst
and Mr. Guluzzy prior to drawing up the agreement. He also stated that
Mr. Ashurst will have the right to use not more than 50 gallons of
water per minute, free of charge, for domestic use and minor irriga-
tion.
MOTION: Councilman Reasor moved that the City Council approve the
agreement and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute
it. The motion was seconded by Councilman Harmon and carried
with Mayor Shelton absent.
E. INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 City Council
Councilman Harmon stated he would like to see a program estab-
lished that would test the water on the Giannini Ranch, see how much
water is available from the ranch, and whether it is related to the
rest of the basin.
Mr. Guluzzy stated this issue will be addressed in the Water
Management Study by Brown and Caldwell.
Councilman Harmon asked if any additional information had been
received as it relates to the Toro Creek Basin, e.g., who owns the
water rights, how much water is in the creek, is it available, etc.

Mr. Guluzzy stated he would have to check this matter out further
before he could respond to Councilman Harmon's questions.
Councilman Harmon suggested the Executive Session, which was pre-
viously discussed, scheduled for August 20, 1979 be held sooner.
Mr. Guluzzy stated it could be held just as soon as the Mayor
returns from vacation.
Councilman Cantine suggested continuation of the budget hearing
be scheduled for the Wednesday, July 25th Study Session.
Councilman Harmon stated he would prefer to schedule one Saturday
to complete the review of the budget.
Mr. Gurnee stated he is still gathering comments regarding the
Property Maintenance Code and would like for this item to be pulled
from the July 25th Study Session.
Councilman Cantine stated he feels that the Council must address
the need for additional staffing in the Planning Department and the
Public Services Department.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he feels discussion of the budget
should occur on a Saturday rather than on a Wednesday. He then sug-
gested if there is time on Wednesday, since the Property Maintenance
Code has been pulled from the agenda, that the City Newsletter be
scheduled for discussion.
The City Council scheduled August 4, 1979 at 9:00 a.m. in the
Recreation Hall to discuss the budget.
E-2 City Attorney
Mr. LeSage requested an Executive Session.
E-3 City Administrator
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that the Coastal Conservancy is
interested in a joint agreement with the City of Morro Bay in the
acquisition of land adjacent to the P.G.&E. plant. He stated the
only cost to the City would be for staff time (7 hours) to develop
the application. The money would come from an environmental fund and
could be utilized for future development or preservation. He advised
the Council that the property, known as Den -bulk is currently desig-
nated by the City's General Plan as open space. He also stated staff
is looking into the possibility of mariculture being done on this
property.

Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council of an access program which
could grant the City up to $15,000 with the City matching the $15,000
for the purpose of e.g., street -end docks or platforms. Staff is
requesting the Council authorize the City to make application for
the funds.
The City Council and staff discussed the type of project they
feel would be the best for the City of Morro Bay.
MOTION: Councilman Harmon moved that the City Council authorize the
City to make application for the acquisition of the Den -bulk
property. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rosenberg
and carried with Mayor Shelton absent.
MOTION: Councilman Harmon moved that the City Council authorize the
City Administrator to make application for a proposal for
matching funds from the State for an access project, with
said proposal to come back to Council for approval prior to
submittal. The motion was seconded by Councilman Reasor
and carried with Mayor Shelton absent.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he and John Bressan met with Brown and Caldwell
to sign the agreement and discuss the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) requirements. He then stated they also discussed the Water
Management Study and have developed a Phase 1 Plan for implementation.
Mr. Guluzzy also noted they had met with the State to discuss the draft
proposal. This morning Mr. Guluzzy had a conference call with the State
and they indicated that there does not appear to be any problems with
the proposal. Brown and Caldwell will draft a contract for completion
of the Water Management Study Phase 1 and send the City and State a
copy of it. It is estimated that the Study will cost between $45,000
and $50,000 and staff would recommend the Council hire Brown and Caldwell
to complete Phase 1 of the Water Management Study subject to approval
by the State.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he would like for the Council to adjourn its
regular meeting to Wednesday, July 25, 1979 so Council action may be
taken on a couple of matters that evening.
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council he had appeared before the Regional
Water Quality Control Board in Santa Barbara on July 20th and requested
they lift the sewer ban. There was a split vote of 4-4 with 1 member
absent. The Board requested the City furnish them with additional data
to include the results of our plant modification that the City just
completed. They did not have any evaluation data on it and they wanted
to see what differences would be made if any in the quality of the
effluent. Mr. Guluzzy also advised the Council that the 4-5 month
delay that the City has experienced is due to the State and EPA, not
Morro Bay.

Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that he had met with the Senior
Citizens' attorney, Mark Woolpert; Senior Citizens' representative,
Molly Bruno; city attorney, Michael T. LeSage; and himself to discuss
a lease agreement for a Senior Citizens' site. He advised the Council
that the seniors have requested money from the Board of Supervisors
for their site. The Supervisors have agreed to grant them $6,000 pro-
viding the City will sign a 10 year lease agreement with the seniors.
Councilman Cantine stated the Council previously agreed to make
available a site to the seniors for grant application purposes.
Supervisor MacElvaine had discussed this with Councilman Cantine and
advised him that the money did not have to be used at this time and
could be held to be used for a structural use in the future. Council-
man Cantine stated he does not feel the site (Teen Center) should be
"tied up" for 10 years in order to receive the $6,000 now.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he understands that the $6,000 would be for
utilities and minor repairs.
Councilman Reasor stated he is concerned with a 10 year lease
agreement for the Teen Center to be used for the Senior Citizens' site
and would prefer to grant them the use of a room as opposed to the
entire site.
Mr. Guluzzy advised Council that the Weed Abatement Program is
almost completed, except for about 10-12 lots that are too hilly to
be done with the City's equipment. Therefore, a private contractor
will have to be hired to do them.
Councilman Cantine reviewed a supplement to the Joint Powers
Agreement for the North Coastal Transit and requested that the Council
support it.
MOTION: Councilman Reasor moved that the City Council authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to sign the supplement to the Joint
Powers Agreement for the North Coastal Transit. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Harmon and carried with Mayor
Shelton absent.
Mr. Guluzzy discussed the City Newsletter with the Council and
recommended the newsletter be mailed directly to the Morro Bay resi-
dent's homes. He also stated he felt staff should prepare the news-
letter to ensure objectivity and suggested the following topics for
the first newsletter: (1) status report regarding the wastewater
treatment plant and Water Management Study; (2) status report regarding
Police Department; (3) information concerning the Human Resources
Advisory Committee; and (4) 1979/80 budget.

Councilman Cantine stated he feels the newsletter should be done
on a monthly basis rather than a quarterly basis. He also stated by
placing the newsletter on the front door, a lot of people would just
throw it away and not even look at it.
Mr. Gurnee stated San Luis Obispo city has been through all of
the various alternatives that the Council is considering now and have
determined the best method is to publish the newsletter on a quarterly
basis in the Telegram -Tribune using a quarter page.
Councilman Harmon stated that the newsletter would be missed
by a lot of people in the newspaper, he does not like the time lag
involved with the water bills, and that he feels door-to-door deli-
very would be best because everyone in the City would receive the
newsletter. He also stated he feels publication on a quarterly
basis would be sufficient.
Councilman Reasor stated he feels the newspaper would be the
best method to start with and suggested a questionnaire be published
with the newsletter to poll its effectiveness by asking people to
respond to the newsletter. Also, considering the cost -factor using
half a page to print a newsletter in the paper would cost less than
door-to-door delivery. Councilman Reasor stated if this method did
not work he would suggest trying People's Postal Service. He also
stated he felt a short note should be placed on the front page of
the Sun -Bulletin stating the City Newsletter can be found on page "x"
Councilman Rosenberg stated he would support staff's recommenda-
tion for the Newsletter to be mailed directly to the resident's homes
or as an insert in the water bills. He also stated he feels the
Newsletter should be a separate item and not be included within the
newspaper or at least until people are accustom to seeing the news-
letter and then consider converting to the newspaper. Councilman
Rosenberg also stated a door-to-door basis would ensure that everyone
in the City would get it.
After further discussion Councilmen Reasor and Rosenberg stated
they would support the first issue of the newsletter being done on a
door-to-door basis with a notation placed in it stating that the
future newsletters would appear in the Sun -Bulletin rather than being
done door-to-door.
Councilman Cantine stated he would like for the first newsletter
to be publised prior to the City's election to let the citizens know
what the various issues are.
Councilman Harmon expressed concern in reaching the citizens of
Morro Bay that do not receive the newspaper, therefore, he felt the
door-to-door basis would best serve the entire community.

The Council discussed the assemblance of the newsletter and deter-
mined that staff would put it together, place it in the Council's boxes
for review, and if there are any major changes to be made then to
bring it before the Council at a meeting.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that the City Council instruct
the City Administrator to proceed with the creation and dis-
tribution of the City Newsletter as follows: (1) the first
issue should be published within one month, (2) the second
issue should be published in two months, (3) the first issue
should be distributed as the City Administrator has recom-
mended using People's Postal Service, (4) the second issue
shall be printed as'a part of the Sun -Bulletin, (5) a feed-
back mechanism (from citizens to City) should be included
in the newsletter, and (6) staff shall report back to Council
with the first proposed newsletter. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Reasor.
Mr. Cambell questioned whether the City should publish a news-
letter because of the high cost involved and the fact the City receives
free coverage of issues of concern to the citizens of Morro Bay via the
Sun -Bulletin. He also stated the newsletter will be a report that re-
flects favorable to the Council and administration.
Councilman Rosenberg stated newspaper reporters tend to focus on
disasters, but there are a lot of things that the citizens should
know that do not attract newspaper reporters to write about.
The motion carried with Mayor Shelton absent.
Harbor Dredging
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council that he would be meeting with the
Corps of Engineers and a representative of Congressman Panetta's office
on Tuesday, July 31, 1979 at 10:00 a.m. to discuss the harbor dredging.
Harbor Advisory Board
Mr. Guluzzy advised the Council he has been trying to contact the

,f Discussion of Condominium Conversions
Mr. Gurnee stated that condominium conversions involve the legal
subdivision of an apartment building to individual dwelling units that
are then sold. The reasons they are becoming so popular is because
they allow potential homeowners to purchase housing, and in the eyes
of landlords condominium conversions are lucrative.
Conversions offer a large profit that can be made in a short
period of time for developers. Because Morro Bay has a building mora-
torium, developers can convert apartments into condominiums without
being confronted with the building limitations in the City. Unless
condominum conversions are controlled, the number of rental units will
decrease.
�" -y conversions that take place, and are unregulated, will effect
hour Iopportunities in Morro Bay. Morro Bay's population consists
of F ons on, fixed incomes and the elderly.
Gurnee then reviewed the HUD defined annual income for the
"vei ow income", the "low income" and the "moderate income". He
stated a large percentage of Morro Bay's population cannot afford to
purchase or rent condominiums.
Mr. Gurnee advised the Council and Commission that with the adop-
tion of a Condominium Conversion Ordinance, that amendments to the
Housing Element must be made because it is a requirement of the Govern-
ment Code. Mr. Gurnee then reviewed how staff suggests condominium con-
version controls be addressed noting how to protect buyers, protect
tenants, assisting the tenants move, protecting supply of rental
housing, improving site, buildings, and units, and facilitating home
ownership. He also reviewed the proposed amendments to the Housing
Element which would require the addition of the six section as mentioned
above. Mr. Gurnee then reviewed the proposed condonominium conversion
ordinance with the Council and Commission. He also reviewed his pro-
posed schedule for completion of adoption of the ordinance and revising
the Housing Element.
Commissioner Peters suggested that the ordinance be written in
terms of the percentage of the annual rent rather than a dollar amount
which would save in making revisions.

Commissioner Elster expressed concern with the compliance -factor
involved with the ruling that requires a set number of units be re-
served for low-income housing. This will necessitate the developer
imposing a higher rate on the balance of the units to compensate for
the loss on the low rentals.
Councilman Rosenberg expressed concern regarding maintenance and
upkeep of units which had a variance in price from e.g., $100,000 to
$50,000 per unit on the same street. He did not feel that the level
of upkeep would be the same. He also asked what type of deed restric-
tions can be placed upon the units.
Mr. Gurnee stated he would like to leave this matter up to the
developer to work with the Planning Commission and Planning Department
on.
Commissioner Hofstead stated there is a need for the City to get
and maintain control on the number of condominium conversions,.that
take place in the City, along with developing standards for the actual
conversions.
Councilman Harmon expressed concern with the balance of the re-
quirements of the rights of the tenants.
Councilman Reasor expressed concern with some of the requirements
placed upon the builders or sellers. A condominium conversion should
make sure the buildings are sound and that they meet the requirements
of open space and the availability of vacant rental units. He also
was concerned with the requirement allowing tenants to have a vote as
to whether the apartment should convert to a condominium. As the
ordinance is proposed, as few as three tenants opposing the conversion
could take the developer's right away from converting. The vacancy
rate is very important and needs to be considered. He also expressed
concern with the requirement of having to reimburse people up to $1,000
for moving expenses.
Councilman Reasor and Mr. Gurnee discussed the common open space
of horizontal conversions and vertical conversions.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he does not feel the proposed ordi-
nance has any concern for the person who owns the property and that
there are too many unnecessary restrictions placed upon the potentital
developers. He then submitted the following suggestions: Because
common walls are involved in condominiums the walls should be up to
code, e.g., restrictions on sound -proofing walls, smoke detectors.
He expressed concern over the number of regulations and inspections
that the City is proposing to require on condominium conversions.
The fees involved for these reports and inspections that are required
must be passed on to the buyer by the developer. He suggested as an
alternative that a brochure be printed to educate potential buyers as
to what they should look for and questions they should ask in regards
to a condominium.
MOTION: Councilman Reasor moved the meeting extend past 9:30 p.m.
to allow Councilmen Rosenberg, Cantine, and Commissioner
Paul to comment on the proposed Condominium Conversion
Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Councilman Harmon
and carried unanimously with Mayor Shelton and Chairman
Kelsay absent.

Councilman Rosenberg expressed concern with page 6, section 5;

tion F's wording.
Councilman Rosenberg and Commissioner Hofstead discussed the
pros and cons of laundry facilities being provided with condominium
conversions. They considered the fact that there are laundromats
within Morro Bay and also the cost of gasoline to travel to them.
Commissioner Paul stated he feels the proposed ordinance is too
restrictive especially on the property owner. The ordinance as pro-
posed would stop any condominium development in Morro Bay. The cost
to the builder would be too much. If there is a problem with low-cost
housing he felt it should not be addressed along with the Condominium
Conversion Ordinance.
Councilman Cantine stated he did not wish to give his comments
at this time.
Mr. Campbell stated the Council should support the person with
the capital. If a person has money to make he should be allowed to
do so. He also stated he agrees with Councilman Rosenberg's comments.
Ron DeCarling, County Planning Department, stated he feels the
ordinance appears to be a workable one. He also stated in regards
to Councilman Rosenberg's concern as it relates to maintenance of
e.g., $100,000 homes vs. $50,000 units, that this would not be of a
concern because homeowner associations are established with condomi-
niums to handle the necessary maintenance. He then stated he feels
the proposed ordinance reflects Morro Bay in light of the housing
situation.
Mr. Gurnee suggested the Council and Commission authorize staff
to proceed with the processing of the negative declaration and the
housing element revisions and that a joint study session then be held
to address these issues. The Council and Commission concurred.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved the meeting adjourn to July 9,

This means that taxes shall be reduced to $336,700 overall, bringing

Mayor Pro Tem Cantine addressed the issue of the proposed Director
of Administrative Services. He then stated he had spoke with several
people in the community and they strongly support leaving the Parks
and Recreation Department as it is currently structured.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he feels it is more efficient to
place "maintenance" into one category. He also stated he feels the
Council should support the City Administrator and that it is the
Administrator's job to do how he feels he can best accomplish it.
Mayor Pro Tem Cantine stated he does not feel it is necessary to
"dismember" the Parks and Recreation Department.
Councilman Reasor stated he would support'Public Services doing
the necessary parks maintenance rather than the Parks and Recreation
Department. He also stated the Recreation Director does not have to
only do recreation -oriented duties, but could be assigned other duties.

Councilman Harmon stated he agrees with Councilman Reasor and

Councilman Cantine stated he feels the Finance Director position
should be given the title of Director of Administration and Finance.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he is strongly against Councilman
Cantine's proposal because the Finance Director's duties are such
that there is no leeway to take on additional duties of another depart-
ment. He also stated he feels the issue of the position of Director
of Administrative Services and Finance is being looked at from a per-
sonnel standpoint rather than a management standpoint.
Councilman Harmon stated he feels some of the responsibilities
that are outlined for the Director of Administration to assume be
removed from that position and the Finance Director position be up-
graded to the position of Director of Administrative Services.
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the title "Director of Admini-

was seconded by Councilman Hamon.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he assumes that with the proposed motion that
he, as City Administrator, will name the Director of Finance and

Councilman Cantine stated he feels the Parks and Recreation Program
is one of the most important elements that the City has. He also stated
that the proposed reorganization does not give him any assurance that
it will continue in this manner.
The City Council discussed the Parks and Recreation supervisor
position and responsibilities of that person.
Councilman Reasor stated he wants a strong Recreation Department

MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that the Director of Parks and
Recreation be equivalent at a grade of $20,000. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Reasor.
Councilman Rosenberg stated he is opposed to this. He feels the
recreation supervisor should be at the level she is presently and add
one additional person to the department that is knowledgeable about
recreation at a level of about $10,000.

PUBLIC COMMENT
(Acting City Administrator)
Clerk
Mrs. Lois Rowland, Chairman of the Water Front Task Force,
discussed the concern of her committee regarding the long over due
dredging of the harbor. Mrs. Rowland stated that her task force
went to the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and as a
result, they drafted a resolution which they are going to present to
the legislatures and to the Corps of Engineers requesting assistance
with the dredging of the harbor. Mrs. Rowland requested the support
of the City Council and stated that she would read the resolution.
Councilman Cantine stated that he and Councilman Reasor
spoke with Senator Hayakawa's Administrative Assistant and also
with Congressman Panetta and that they stated that the Corps of
Engineers was short of funds and -that the dredging of the harbor
was not an -emergency action. Councilman Cantine stated that the City
did have $200,000 in the budget for dredging but would not have
sufficient funds for dredging of the moorings unless there was assis-
tance from the Corps of Engineers. Councilman Cantine stated that
Congressman Panetta had stated that this money needed for assistance
for our dredging project had already been expended on other projects,
although the money had been earmarked for Morro Bay.Harbor Dredging.
Confirmation was later received from Congressman Panetta's office
stating yes the money had been earmarked.and that we could expect
assistance from the Corps of Engineers as this item is placed on
their priority list and are encouraged that this will be accomplished
this year. Councilman Cantine stated that this resolution should be
sent forward in support -of the actions which have already taken place
by the Morro Bay City Council.
Mrs. Nancy Culver, Citizens Action.League, stated that on
July 5, 1979, the Board.of Directors passed a recommendation for
consideration by the City Council. The recommendation is as follows:
That the City Council make as a matter of policy to appoint
one member of the City staff as ex-officio member of each citizens'
advisory committee appointed by the City Council.

Mrs. Culver stated that this procedure would assist in eliminating
problems of communication and produce a greater coordination of
efforts between advisory committees and the Council.
Councilman Rosenberg stated that he would forward this
recommendation ..to the Resources Committee as they are formulating
a policy on citizens' advisory comimittees.
Mr. Campbell stated that there is a serious problem with
street maintenance in that weeds have been up -rooting the streets
and sidewalks (i.e. Norwich). Mr. Campbell stated that it is not
a good idea for the City to have improvement projects within. the City
if they are not going to maintain them. He stated that the remainder
of the streets are as deteriorated if not in worse condition. Mr.
Campbell suggested that a weed or soil steroid be used to control
the weed problem from _eroding the streets which would be fairly
inexpensive.
Mr. Campbell referred to an article in the paper which
recently critized the Parks and Recreation Director. Mr. Campbell
stated that he does not understand why Councilman Cantine has
publicly critized Mr. Braga. Furthermore, Mr. Campbell feels
that Director Braga has done a "fine job" for the City of Morro Bay.
Councilman Cantine stated that the paper was completely
wrong in its reporting and that he had gone to Director Braga's
office on the following day and explained that he did not complain
about Mr. Braga as a'Recreation Director. Councilman Cantine explained
that the discussion had come about.concerning his fight with the
Council to have a strong Recreation Department and that Mr. Guluzzy
had stated that that was only .a portion of Mr. Braga's duties.
Councilman Cantine stated that he had said Mr. Braga could have done
a better job on the senior citizen report had he been performing his
job as Parks and Recreation Director on a full-time basis. Councilman
Cantine also expressed his desire to have someone more than a
Recreation Supervisor to run the Recreation Department.
The public comment was closed to the public.

Mayor Shelton reviewed all items on the Consent Calendar.
Mayor Shelton then requested that Items A-1 & A-2 be deferred until
the next regular City Council meeting for presentation.
A-3 Resolution No. 32-79 Annual Transportation Claim
Councilman Cantine asked Mr. Gurnee whether or not this
claim was more or less than the one submitted for last year. Mr.
Chrissakis stated that the claim for this year was less than that
of last year. However, last year included a surplus from the previous
year. Mr. Chrissakis stated what the City is claiming is that portion
which.we were allowed. Councilman Cantine asked if there was any
reason why we couldn't ask for more. Mr. Chrissakis stated that
there was no reason why we couldn't ask for more, however, he didn't
feel that we would get it. Councilman.Cantine stated that he had
attended a Council of Governments meeting and that other cities requests
were approved with no problem. Councilman Reasor suggested that this
item be deferred until Wednesday, June 11, 1979. The Council agreed.

B. HEARINGS, APPEARANCES, AND REPORTS
B-1 Environmental Resources Committee report relating to long-term
Water Policy
Mr. Diffley, Chairman of the Environmental Resources Committee,
stated that detailed background information was gathered regarding
the basic water situation. Mr. Diffley stated that the committee was
emphasising two points in their report:
1. The growth of the City duirng the next 20 years will be
limited by the capacity of the new wastewater treatment
plant. This is the valve which controls the water supply.
2. Before the City can take action to solve the water problem,
decisions on the following must be made:
a) sources of water
b) cost
c) quantity set by wastewater treatment plant
d) cost & timing
Mr. Diffley further stated that in order for these decisions to be
made, it will require maximum participation on the parts of the
citizens within the community. Mr. Diffley stated that the committee
recommends that the Council institute a workshop with a focus on local
water resources which might be developed; successful solutions which
have been developed elsewhere; realistic costs and projections; and
finally as a -result of this analysis, prepare a long range solution
to the water problem. Mr. Diffley suggested that the workshops make
use of local, county and state specialists who could provide current
data to the City for review. Perhaps a task force could be developed
incorporating local citizens for their input.
Mr. Campbell asked Mr. Diffley where he got his facts
regarding limited building taking place in Morro Bay? Mr. Diffley
responded that this was due to the present condition of the coastal
aquifers which the Department of Water Resources has advised us are
being over drafted. Mr. Diffley stated that the experts have said
that no building can take place until we solve our water problems.
As a direct result of this, we have the Building Moratorium in affect
in the City of Morro Bay.
Mr. Jerry Hempenius asked how much longer are we going to
search for water? Mayor Shelton responded that most of the material
in old reports, supports Nacimiento. However, Mayor Shelton stated
that we need to look at other alternatives as well.
Councilman Cantine stated that when it became clear that
the California Aqueduct System would not be available to Morro Bay,
there was no doubt that the next push would be for Nacimiento water.
Councilman Cantine stated at the County Water Advisory Committee,
several members raised the question of local projects being developed

30 p.m.
with the money that had accumulated for the California Aqueduct
System. Councilman Cantine stated that the State indicated under
a new policy that if you could indicate a cost-effective benefit
for the County, they could be considered under the California
Aqueduct System Financing Program. Councilman Cantine stated that
as far as he is concerned, he will seek to have the City achieve
position on the local project alternatives well in advance of the
Nacimiento project going before the voters.
Mr. Ross referenced a statement made by Clint Milne
regarding the length of time required to complete a dam project
(approximately 20 years). Mr. Diffley stated that the Nacimiento
project would require a reservoir. Mr. Diffley also stated that
Whale Rock had spilled twice in the last two years.
Mr. Campbell asked under what conditions can we open up
that valve at the Whale Rock for water? Mr. LeSage stated that we
have a year to year contract and that we have no water rights for
continued extraction of water, and it can only be utilized in a
time of emergency.
Ralph Peters asked.Mr. Diffley how long his proposed
workshop would be, when would it take.place, and who would the
speakers be? Mr. Diffley responded that suggestions for guest
speakers -could include Chuck Lawrence (he spoke in Santa Barbara)
or Ken Schwartz (S.L.O.); and possibly the Department of Water
Resources could send someone. It was suggested that the workshop
could be held over a weekend. Mr. Diffley stated that he would
like to see the groundwork begun by late August or September and
have it finished by December.
Mayor closed this item to public hearing.
Councilman Rosenberg asked the Planning Director for his
input and reaction to the proposed workshop concept. Mr. Gurnee
stated that any solution to Morro Bay's water problems will require a
very solid support on the part of the citizens and he doesn't feel
that there will be that kind of support because of the confusion
over the issue. Councilman Rosenberg stated that he feels it is an
excellent idea and feels that the E.R.C. has been waiting for
direction from the Council to proceed and suggested that perhaps
direction be given to either Mr. Gurnee or to the advisory committee
to begin work on it. Mayor Shelton suggested that perhaps it would
be more appropriate to direct the City Administrator and he could
then in turn give it to the appropriate staff and they could coor-
dinate this effort. Councilman Rosenberg stated that he is endorsing
this report and thinks that some direction should be given so that
the advisory committee can proceed.
Mayor Shelton thanked Mr. Diffley and his committee for
their efforts in providing this report and giving the Council
direction with specific recommendations.
Councilman Reasor stated that he would also support this
committee report. He stated that he has always had the feeling that
whoever had recommended water for Morro Bay in the past, choose
what they wanted and then built up the facts to support this choice
rather then looking at the other alternatives.

Councilman Harmon asked what the costs would be to conduct
the proposed workshop in terms of staff hours and expenses for
potential guest speakers, etc. Mr. Gurnee stated that this has not
been determined at this point. However, he belives that the intent
of the committee is to use local resources as much as possible.
Councilman Rosenberg stated that perhaps $1,000 or less would be a
good estimate.
Councilman Rosenberg stated that information from Santa
Barbata is not being transmitted up here and it would be valuable to
have someone from that County to discuss the water issue.
Mayor Shelton suggested that staff come back to the Council
with a workshop plan including a specific calendar.
Mayor Shelton stated that he would like to be general in
his direction to Mr. Guluzzy and would like to let Mr. Guluzzy
delegate the staff that he wants to work on a proposal as to how
they are going to present this workshop.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that he would like the report
of the E.R.C. incorporated within the specific actions
relative to the implementation of the water policy. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Harmon and was unani-
mously carried.
RECESS: 9:06 p.m. RECONVENED: 9:19 P.M.
B-2 Long -Term water Policy
Mr. Gurnee presented his report regarding the proposed long-
term water Resolution discussing briefly the points of specific
concern. Mr. Gurnee stated that this resolution is not intented to
be a work program but rather a statement of policy on behalf of the
Council as a part of procurement.
Mayor Shelton opened this item to public hearing.
Councilman Harmon suggested an addition to #G regarding a
delivery system. Mr. Gurnee stated that it could be included in the
resolution. Mr. Gurnee stated that he could add a sub -section under
G to include the following: "To examine the potential water savings
of correcting the leakage problem of the current system The Council
agreed.
MOTION: Councilman Rosenberg moved that Resolution No. 37-79 be
read by title only. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Cantine and was unanimously carried.
Mr. Gurnee read Resolution No. 37-79 by title only.
MOTION: Councilman Cantine moved that Resolution No. 37-79 be
approved as amended (addition of sub -section under #G).
The motion was seconded by Mayor Shelton and was unani-
mously carried by roll call vote.
2 B-3 Request for a three month extension of the Condominium Conversion
Moratorium to allow presentation of draft ordinance at July 11,
1979 meeting I
Mr. Gurnee stated that he had drafted the Condominium Conver-
sion Ordinance and that they are available to the public over the
counter at the Planning Department. Mr. Gurnee stated that it would
need to go through the following steps before it could be adopted:

MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
July 9, 1979, 7:30 p.m.

It would need an amendment to the Housing Element; Negative
Declaration status; and approval from the Planning Commission and
City Council. Mr. Gurnee stated that because this process is so
lengthy, he would recommend an extension of the Condominium Con-
version Moratorium to allow sufficient time for the review of
the proposed drafted ordinance. Mr. Gurnee proposed a 3-6 month
extension.
Mayor Shelton opened this item to public hearing.
Mr. Gurnee stated that he .was recommending that this be
presented this Wednesday night at a joint study session meeting
between the Council and the Planning Commission as a presentation
of this ordinance and some of the conditions in Morro Bay.
Councilman Cantine stated that he feels that this document
will need public exposure for a better understanding of the
Ordinance. Mr. Gurnee stated that condominium conversion regu-
lations are very complex. Mr. Gurnee stated that he-had"consulted
with 14 different cities and each of them has a different approach.
We are consistent with what other communities have done in their
regulations.
Mr. Diffley requested information about the basic need for
this condominium conversion moratorium. Mr. Gurnee stated that with
a lack of developing standards within the City ordinance for con-
dominium conversions, ultimately people could be evicted without
recourse (this would affect mainly elderly and low income people).
This control is to protect housing rental supply from being converted
over to condominiums. Mr. Gurnee stated that those areas affected
most are the urban and coastal areas.
Mr. Gaines asked about the number of apartments which could
potentially be converted to condominiums. Mr. Gurnee stated that
there were 865 multi -dwelling units which could be converted.
Mayor Shelton closed this item to public hearing.
Councilman Reasor stated that he had originally recommended
this control over condominium conversion. He stated that he would
like to see this adopted with the extension of 3 months. Councilman
Harmon concurred.
A discussion followed regarding the time frame needed to
complete the revisions on the regulations. Councilman Cantine
stated that he would defer to the judgement of the Planning Director.
Councilman Rosenberg stated that he feels it will take longer than 3
months.because he sees no protection for the property owners and this
is a real conern'of his. Councilman Rosenberg suggested that staff
propose a work schedule to work within.
A brief discussion followed regarding the effective date
of the extension of the Condominium Conversion Moratorium to provide
additional time for the preparation of the draft ordinance.
Mr. LeSage stated that the 3 month extension would be
effective from that night's meeting (7-9-79).
