B. NEW BUSINESS
B-1 ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 7.28 OF THE MORRO BAY MUNICIPAL CODE.
Mr. Taylor stated that this ordinance amendment would make it illegal to throw
stones, wound or otherwise maliciously hurt any species of wild birds within
the City.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Ordinance Amending Section 7.28
of the Morro Bay Municipal Code be read by title only and that
this constitutes the first reading. This was seconded by Mayor
Pro-Tem Lemons and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
Kent Taylor read this ordinance by title only - "An Ordinance Amending Section
7.28 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code."
B-2 REQUEST FROM LOS ANGELES COUNTY TO SUPPORT LEGISLATION REGARDING FIRE
RETARDANT ROOFS.
Mr. Taylor had reqeived a request from Los Angeles County asking for all cities
and counties to support a building code requirement for fire retardant roofs for
new construction. There is no objection from the staff level on this. However,
we would prefer local control on this rather than state control. If Council
would like to support this legislation, a letter stating this would be sent to
the legislators and Board of Supervisors in Los Angeles County.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that this request for support of legislation
from Los Angeles County on fire retardant roofs for new construction
be noted as received and filed. This was seconded by Councilman
Anderson and so carried.
C. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS, AND APPEARANCES
C-1 APPEAL BY JOHN ASKIN ON BOAT SLIP WAITING LIST.
Mr. Taylor stated that the question before the Council is whether or not this
individual meets the criteria for a commercial fisherman. Due to repairs on his
boat, it was difficult for him to meet the definition of a fisherman. The Harbor
Advisory Board felt that this individual should be denied a place on the waiting
list until such time as he qualifies as a commercial fisherman:
John Bressan gave a brief background on this matter. He felt that if Mr. Askin
was allowed to be placed on the waiting list, then the application period
should be reopened again for 60 days as others did not apply who didn't meet
the strict interpretation of this ordinance.
Jack Hanson, a member of the Board of Directors for the Fisherman's Association,
said it was his Association's position that they would like to have the strict
interpretation of this ordinance upheld.
Mr. McSpadden read an article on the Morro Bay City Council's decision from a
magazine and felt that a fisherman should be able to prove $5,000 worth of
income during the year to be classified as a commercial fisherman.

John Askin stated that he moved to Morro Bay after retiring and bought his
boat intending to fish commercially. However, he had no intention of fishing
six to eight months out of the year. He felt that he was a taxpayer and does
business in this city. He didn't feel that other commercial fishermen who do
not spend dollars in this city should be allowed a slip over individuals like
himself.
Ron Myer felt that the Council had passed a good ordinance and the qualifications
for a commercial fisherman were very lenient. He felt there was no possible way
a person can make a living on $5,000 income and would be in favor of denying
the appeal.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that the ordinance be upheld and that Mr.
Askin be denied his appeal. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn. On
a roll call vote: Anderson - yes; Deutsch - no; Dorn - yes; Lemons -
yes. The motion was carried by a majority vote.
C-2 DEANNA DAVIS REQUEST FOR LEASE EXTENSION ON LEASE SITE 68 AND 68W.
Deanna Davis has a 20 year lease that expires in February, 1981. She originally
requested an extension of 20 years. The lease is based on dollar improvements.
Mr. Taylor stated he had met with the applicant and her attorney. The original
county lease states that an extension may be granted for a period of time or
less. It is the goal of the Council to have all of the property under city
leases. City leases grant a fair return to the City rather than the county
lease. The applicant felt she was entitled to a lease extension for a certain
period of time and the staff didn't agree. The compromise worked out was a five
year extension on the county lease and then the applicant would enter into a
long term city lease at that time.
Rodger Anderson disqualified himself on this matter.
Deanna Davis stated that she understood the compromise agreement as outlined.
Howard Gaines felt that it was up to the Council to " determine what the '
improvements of the lease were, whether or not they have been kept up, and
ascertain what the current assessed value of the property is by the County
Assessor. He also felt that an extension of the lease on a month to month
basis should be required until these conditions are met.
Since Proposition 13, Kent Taylor stated that the County Assessor does not
assess property on an annual basis. However, the City could request that this
be done. One of the main questions here is how to phase out county leases.
Councilwoman Deutsch felt that this extension might set a precedent for others
with county leases and did not want to do that. Mayor Pro-tem Lemons stated
that inflation alone would increase the value of the property and allow for
an extension on the county leases.
Mr. LeSage stated that Council could grant an extension on a month -to -month
basis pending Council's determination of what the policy will be on the county
leases.

REGULAR MEETING- DECEMBER 22, 1980

MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that we approve a lease extension for
Deanna Davis (Lease Site 68 and 68W) on a month -to -month basis until
a determination on all the county leases is made. This was seconded
by Councilwoman Deutsch and so carried.
Mr. Taylor stated that the study would be in three phases and would be completed
for the Council's final decision in approximately 90 days.
C-3 LEASE SITE REPORT BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR
Mr. Taylor stated that he viewed the task as being a three phase one. Phase 1 -
We need to do a better job of stepped up enforcement of the leases. Staff is
recommending the hiring of a property management firm to identify the obligations
of both the leaseholder and the City. Phase 2 - Take the necessary steps to
insure that the leases are managed on a continuous basis. Phase 3 - Identification
and development of policy issues which should be brought to the Council along
with alternatives so that the Council can adopt sound, businesslike lease policies
for the Embarcadero area.
On the recommendation of the county staff, we have been talking to California
West, Inc., a property management firm, to do the Phase 1 work. We have an
estimate of $3,500 for this work and a guarantee that it will be completed within
60 days. Staff is recommending that Council approve in principle to hire California
West to do this work and authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement with California
West, Inc. The objectives outlined by California West are (1) organization of
lease files; (2) identification of leaseholder obligations; (3) work with the
County Assessor's Office to accomplish updating of lease site property; (4) prepara-
tion of application forms; (5) preparation of a summary document for Council and
Staff; and (6) review all of the applicable city reports related to the Tidelands
and their leases.
Mayor Dorn stated that straightening out the leases is one of the major goals of
this Council and felt that we should commence this job as soon as possible.
Mr. Robert Crawford volunteered his services to the City to help on the leases.
He is a retired internal auditor of the American Can Company.
Mr. Taylor stated that there were no formal bidding procedures utilized on this
since staff felt that this Phase 1 work should be completed as soon as possible.
If Council decides to proceed with Mr. Crawford's request, it will take more time
and this work will be postponed for possibly another 30 days.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this matter be held in abeyance until
the next scheduled meeting to allow Mr. Crawford time to review the
files. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and so carried.
C-4 APPOINTMENTS TO BE MADE IN 1981 FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
Under. state law, Council is required to post a listing of vacancies which are
slated to occur on city boards and commissions during the upcoming calendar year.
Mr. Taylor provided Council with a listing that will be posted.

Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons mentioned that June Hofstead's position on the Planning
Commission expires as of December 31, 1980. Mr. LeSage stated that the Council
does have the right to appoint someone to this position since it had been
previously posted.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that June Hofstead be reappointed to
the Planning Commission to serve another four year term. This
was seconded by Mayor Dorn and so carried.
A-3 REQUEST TO VACATE A PORTION OF SOUTH STREET BETWEEN MONTEREY AND NAPA
STREETS.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons requested that this item now be heard. He asked if this
area in question will be affected by the LCP and all of the problems in this.
Murrel Crump stated that this is part of the area covered in the LCP. He did
not know whether this area will be part of the consideration in the Coastal
Plan. It is more subject to circulation element.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that this vacating of a portion of South
Street be held in abeyance until after the LCP is accepted. This
was seconded by Councilman Anderson and carried unanimously by roll
call vote.
D. ITEMS OF INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
D-1 JOINT MEETING REQUESTED BY SAN LUIS COASTAL UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD
Staff has received a request from the School District to hold a joint meeting
with the Council to discuss the possibility of renting classrooms to businesses.
This would provide additional money for the district and allow them to keep
both schools open. Mr. Taylor asked the Council if they would be agreeable to
meeting with the School Board sometime during January. There was no objections
to this by the Council.
D-2 RESPONSE BY THE COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO REGARDING URBAN RESERVE LINE.
The City Administrator had sent a letter to the County requesting them to
reconsider the urban reserve line. The County Planning Director has sent a
response saying that the City request a County General Plan Amendment. The
appropriate time to consider this would be in April, 1981. Mr. Taylor asked
for Council's direction on whether or not they wish staff to file any
application needed to go before the Board in April.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that staff be directed to file all appropriate
forms requesting a County General Plan Amendment. This was seconded
by Councilman Anderson and so carried.
D-3 REQUEST OF RAY GALLO TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL REGARDING PROPOSED CITY
ANNEXATION.
Mr. Taylor suggested that this matter be held until Mr. Gallo appears.

D-4 LEASE VIOLATIONS - GRAHAM'S LANDING.
At the November 24 meeting, this matter was brought before the Council. The
final decision was to have the individuals request permission for a new use
to their lease. Mr. Taylor stated that this action was followed up with a
letter. At this point, we have not heard back from the leaseholders. Staff
is recommending that the city attorney send a letter to the leaseholders and
advise them to make the proper application. If they do not do this, they are
in violation of the lease and appropriate action will be taken. This was
concurred to by the Council and the city attorney will send the appropriate
letter.
D-5 FORMATION OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES
WATER MANAGEMENT STUDY.
Mr. Taylor stated that in August of this year the City entered into an agree-
ment with the Department of Water Resources to conduct the water management
investigation in cooperation with the City. Under this agreement, a committee
is to be formed to advise the State and the City in the conduct of the
investigation and also to disseminate information as it is developed. The member-
ship of the advisory committee is to include a broad range of interests including
but not limited to agriculture, domestic, commercial and.industrial water users,
government agencies, environmentalists, land developers and the general public.
Staff is bringing this to Council's attention so official appointments can be
made at the January 12, 1981 meeting.
D-6 SUPPORT OF SPECIAL LEGISLATION TO FUND COASTAL PRESERVATION PROJECTS.
Mr. Taylor stated that Peter Grenell had advised the City that the mood in
Sacramento seems to be very positive to submitting special legislation to provide
funding for special coastal projects. Mr. Grenell suggested that the City
consider supporting legislation which would include this funding. Staff is
recommending that a letter be sent to Mr. Grenell and our legislators supporting
this legislation.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that staff send a letter to Peter Grenell
and our local legislators supporting special legislation to provide
funding for special coastal projects. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn
and so carried.
Mayor Dorn stated that there are Proposition 1 monies available for coastal
projects and we could ask our legislator or assemblywoman to initiate this. He
felt that citizen input should be obtained on areas within the community that
we might want money for special projects. Then we could request a special
meeting with Mello and Hallet.
Mr. Taylor stated that Mary Sanders has been given the responsibility on this
and all suggestions will be given to her.
D-7 RESIGNATION OF CITY ENGINEER

Mr. Taylor stated that we are in the final stages of completing the land use
map documents. Our coastal planner, Joe O'Hagan, has resigned and in order
to complete the work and begin the Phase 3 Work Program, staff is submitting
a recommendation to hire M. R. Enterprises on a consulting basis to assist with
the completion of the LCP. The work has been divided into two categories:
(1) preparing the basic work program - $700; (2) preparation of the housing
element - $1,799. Mr. Taylor stressed that this is work that has already been
approved by the Council and would have been done by Joe O'Hagan.
Murrel Crump, Community Development Director, stated that the LCP has two
distinct parts. The Land Use Plan has various components, 13 of which the
City of Morro Bay must address. The other part of the LCP is the implementing
ordinances and codes.
There was a lengthy discussion on the plan. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked what
will happen if Morro Bay doesn't get their Coastal Plan done until after July 1?
Murrel Crump stated that approval would then be granted by the State since
the Regional Coastal Commission will not -be in existence after July 1. However,
the State may decide to have the local commissions continue if a lot of the
cities do not have their plans completed.

D. PUBLIC HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
D-1 PETITION AGAINST CAT TRAPPINGS.
Mr. Taylor stated that a petition has been submitted to the City against cat
trapping. The County will loan traps for catching stray, wild and nuisance
cats in the neighborhoods. The Animal Control Department requires the people
who use these traps to turn any animals over to their department.
Mrs. Swiderski stated that an individual was trapping cats in her neighborhood
and taking them out of the City and abandoning them. Her request is to
consider making a law in the City to prohibit trapping of cats.
Mr. Taylor stated that he had discussed this with Al Olson, Police Chief, and
Mr. Dollahite, Animal Regulations Department. State law recognizes that a dog
is something you can own, but a cat cannot be owned since they are considered
a "free spirit."
Mr. Taylor stated that he could not recommend a new ordinance or program that
disallows cat trapping as the City does not have funds available to enforce such
a program. He felt this is an emotional issue and one not easily resolved.
Al Olson, Police Chief, stated that his department is faced with a determination
that cats are not property that can be owned. There are current laws for grand
theft dogs, but nothing for cats. There is a major problem enforcing them.
Mrs. Anita Swiderski presented a petition against a particular individual in her
neighborhood who has been trapping cats. This individual has allegedly
been baiting his traps with fish and then disposing of the animals in a
questionable manner. Since collecting signatures, she has been informed that
several individuals have tried to prevent this same individual from trapping
cats. This is a widespread problem in Morro Bay. Most concerned citizens call
Animal Regulations to learn there is no enforcement to see if the individuals
who do trap animals turn them in to their department. Mrs. Swiderski felt it
was unfair to lure animals to traps which wouldn't normally be attracted to
that particular yard.
Mr. Dollahite, Animal Regulation Department, stated that cat trapping is a problem
throughout the County, and felt there is two sides to this issue. Cat trapping
is a necessity, especially in Morro Bay since it is a bird sanctuary. The main
reason for cat trapping is bites. People have a tendency to feed wild cats
who eventually may bite an individual. If the cat cannot be located, the
individual must go througha series of rabies shots. This falls under State
law,. Nuisance cats are another problem, especially around children. When
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 8, 1980
Page Four
cats start using one particular area for defecation, the smell draws other
cats.
Mr. Dollahite stated that Penal Code 597 makes it a felony to abandon cats.
However, enforcement of this is very costly. His department does supply traps
to individuals for a five day period. According to State and County laws, all
animals trapped must be turned over to the Animal Regulation Department within
24 hours.
The owners of any dog turned in to his department is cited and/or charged an
impounding fee. Since cats aren't private property, an impounding fee cannot
be charged. A cat owner can only be charged for board. Cats are only held
for 72 hours in accordance with California State law. For licensed dogs,
the holding period is longer. If a cat has identification when turned in, it
is immediately returned to the owner.
In the City of Morro Bay there are five full time cat trappers. Three of these
individuals turn cats in daily.
Since Morro Bay contracts with the County Animal Regulations for all animal
control, Al Olson asked what effect it would have on our contract if the City
Council passed an ordinance to prohibit cat trapping? Mr. Dollahite stated
that such an ordinance would have to be approved by the City Council and the
Board of Supervisors. All cities in the County must have compatible laws. One
City can't go off on their own as it would create enforcement problems.
An individual from the audience suggested that anyone trapping cats place a
sign stated they do this.
There was a lengthy discussion on this matter.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons felt this is a problem in Morro Bay due basically to
four to six people who trap cats.- Passing an ordinance to prohibit the trappings
would be like passing a gun control law that criminals will ignore anyway. He
suggested a neighborhood watch program similar to the one used by schools.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutschmovethat a committee consisting of the city admin-
istrator, city attorney and police chief review this problem and report
back to the Council. This was seconded by.Councilwoman Ward and
carried unanimously by a roll call vote.
There was a brief recess called by Mayor Dorn. The meeting was recessed at
9:00 PM and reconvened at 9:10 PM.
E. ITEMS OF INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 RECONSTRUCTION OF WASTEWATER GRANTS FOR THE CITY OF MORRO BAY.
At the last budget workshop Council indicated a strong concern to have the
records "cleaned up" on the Wastewater Treatment Grant in case the City were

ever audited. The records need to be in an auditable state or else the City
may be forced to pay money back on the plant construction. Staff has requested
a proposal from an auditing firm, Knight, Towle, Sage and Johnson. They have
submitted a proposal of $7,000 - $8,000. The specific items that would be
accomplished are: (1) examination of the City's wastewater grants; (2) testing
the related expenditures and receipts for compliance to grant requirements
(3) work with city personnel to develop an accounting system to accumulate costs
on the grants and reconcile the detailed accounting records to the City's
general ledger system for issuance and report to the city showing the status
of the wastewater grants and giving recommendations for future accounting.
Mr. Taylor recommended that Council approve in principle the entering into a
contract with Knight, Towle, Sage & Johnson for an amount not to exceed $8,000
and authorize the City Administrator to execute this agreement.
Councilwoman Deutsch wondered how many of our grants needed to be reconstructed
and if it was wise to do it piecemeal or if the City should hire someone who
has this ability. She also wondered if we were approaching the right firm or
if this was a job for a grantsman? Mr. Taylor felt an auditing firm is needed
and this particular firm has the needed experience with this grant. He also
felt that staff was worried about this particular grant and it is a necessity.
Mayor Dorn asked if a bid or quote was received from Alexander Grant? No bid
had been received by them.
Tom McGonagill stated that the City is completing the Phase II portion of the
grant. Most of the expnditures to this point have been for contractual services
and some consulting. The problem is when the City goes into Phase III of the
Construction Grant. You then must keep track of the contractors, costs,
inventories, equipment supplies, tagging, identifying, etc. This is when you
can get into trouble. He felt it was imperative that something be done on
this grant quickly.
Mayor Dorn asked Mr. McGonagill what other grants needed to be straightened
out. Mr. McGonagill stated that the UMTA Grant, Del Mar Park Grant, Police
Services Contract for the Youth, etc. may need staff's attention.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that staff ask Knight, Towle, Sage &
Johnson for a set price, talk to Cambria Community Services District
on their experience with Knight, Towle, Sage & Johnson and obtain
a bid from Alexander Grant. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and
so carried.
E-2 REPAIR OF MOTOR AT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.
Mr. Taylor stated that the Public Services Department advised his office last
week that the sludge recirculation pump was failing and needed to be replaced.
We have issued the purchase order to replace this pump, and funds will need to
be transferred from the Contingency Fund.

Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if this expenditure would be grant refundable. Mr.
Taylor stated that it would not be refundable since this falls under the
"caretaker" job.
E-3 STATUS REPORT ON YEOMAN LEASE.
Mr. Taylor stated that Production Credit Association has decided that they do
not need a Trust Deed on this matter.
E-4 GRANT APPLICATION - BIKE PATHS
Mr. Taylor stated that Cal Trans has money available for bike paths on a 90%
reimbursement basis. The deadline for applying is today, but the City will get
more time in which to submit the grant. Staff would like authorization to
submit the application to Cal Trans to seeif we qualify for money on construction
of a bike path. The main area discussed for such a project is Main Street to the
high school.
Councilwoman Deutsch felt this would be a great advantage for the children going
to school.
John Bressan stated that the bike path is designed to start from Surf Street,
which is basically at the top of the hill, down to the point where you go under
the underpass. There is then a question as to the route to take based upon the
right -a -way from P.G.&E. or Cal Trans to parallel the freeway. The City may have
to pay for either one or the other. The funds avialable amount to 90 percent
to the State bike program and it is 10 percent matching grant. It is estimated
roughtly that the job will be a minimum of $100,000 because there is a bridge
required that will run the cost up. The material used will be concrete. Since
the amount of this would exceed the amount available, SB325 money would be
available in addition.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that staff apply for grant funds from
Cal Trans to enable the City to construct a bike path. This was
seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
E-5 GOLF COURSE AND MARINA
John Bressan needs Council's authorization for staff to send a letter stating
the City is interested in the concept of managing the golf course and marina.
Jim Qualye of the State Parks and Recreation Department stated he was surprised
that we even had an interest init.since they didn't have a formal letter of
interest. The State would like to have a new contractor by June. Mr. Bressan
stated that he was preparing a report on his meeting with Qualye. He requested
that staff be authorized to proceed with a preliminary survey on what the
existing services are and what the cost of exchange and/or cost of maintenance
over the period of operation. This would allow the City to make an intelligent
decision on this matter. The marina has currently 80 slips.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 8, 1980

MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that we accept staff's recommendation to
request to look further into running the Marina and to reaffirm
the position and operation agreement for the golf course and the
sandspit. This was seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons and so carried.
E-6 WATER MORATORIUM IMPOSED BY THE COASTAL COMMISSION
Mayor Dorn read the mandate issued by the Coastal Commission when imposing the
building moratorium on the City of Morro Bay on December 14, 1977. In order
to get this whole thing in perspective, he suggested that the City Attorney
write a letter to the Commission stating that we do have an adequate water
supply for building and that there is no reason for this moratorium.
Mr. Taylor felt that in terms of the water report being completed by Brown and
Caldwell, it might be best to wait until the final report has been submitted
before confronting the Coastal Commission. This might be premature until the
final water management report is received. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons agreed .to
this logic. However, Mayor Dorn still felt very strongly that the City does
have plenty of water and the moratorium should be lifted. The Council requested
Mike LeSage to write a letter to the Commission on this matter.
E-7 GAINES SUIT - CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Mr. LeSage stated that the judge overruled the demurer in the Gaines case.
Basically the judge is pointing out that it is doubtful that the amount.spent -
five percent - limitation is invalid. That the restriction to the five percent
is valid on Measure A. The complaint is based primarily on whether or not the
City complied with the procedures. This issue may have to go on to trial
before it is resolved.
MOTION: Since there was no further business, Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that
the meeting be adjourned to executive session following which the
meeting will be adjourned to Friday, December 12, 1980. This was
seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
The meeting was adjourned into executive session at 10:05 PM. The meeting was
reconvened and adjourned at 10:25 PM.

Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if the written permission for obtaining permission
to shoot or discharge any pistol, revolver, gun or any firearm of any
description not in necessary self defense or in the performance of official
duty should be from the Police Chief rather than the City Council. Al Olson,
Police Chief, felt that he would like the matter researched, developed and
cleared through the Police Department rather than the City Council. Michael
LeSage, City Attorney, stated that this ordinance could be amended to reflect
that written permission be obtained from the Police Chief.
Mayor Dorn asked if this ordinance involved wildlife, birds, etc. He had
received a letter from Sandoval who asked that this matter be researched.
Al Olson stated that there is an ordinance in the municipal code which proclaims
Morro Bay as a bird sanctuary. Mike LeSage stated that this section of the
ordinance could be changed to allow for protection of the birds in Morro Bay.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Ordinance 190, Section 9.16.020 be
changed to reflect that written permission be obtained from the Police
Chief rather than the City Council. This was seconded by Councilman
Anderson and so carried.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Ordinance 190 as amended be read by
title only and that this constitutes the first reading. This was
seconded by Councilman Anderson and carried unanimously by a roll
• call vote.
Kent Taylor read Ordinance No. 190 by title only - "An Ordinance Amending
Chapter 9.16 of Title 9 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code."
C. PUBLIC HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
C-1 SONIC CABLE TV RATE INCREASE.
Kent Taylor stated that this matter is before the Council for a public hearing.
The alternatives available to the Council are (1) to enter into an interim
rate increase with Sonic Cable TV while our rate study is being completed;
(2) llow Sonic Cable TV to deregulate as provided by AB 699 legislation; (3)
enter into a long term agreement with Sonic Cable TV allowing them a negotiated
rate increase; or (4) file suit against Sonic Cable TV with the intention of
preventing the company from increasing its rates without Council approval.
Mr. Taylor stated that he and Michael LeSage had met prior to the meeting with
representatives of Sonic Cable TV. The company is not willing to enter into
an interim rate increase with this city on the same basis as other cities in
the County. Mr. Taylor felt that the options now available to the City are to
(1) file suit against Sonic Cable TV or (2) allow Sonic Cable TV to
deregulate and set their own rates..
Councilman Anderson asked if the City didn't have a right at the end of the
rate study to negotiate a new contract if we did not press for deregulation.
• Mr. Raylor stated that the Cable TV company has agreed to cooperate only with
those cities who have agreed to an interim rate study. Therefore, the money
allocated by the Council to enter into a rate study will not be used for this
purpose. Michael LeSage stated that the franchise agreement does allow the
City to examine their books and records. This may be another option.

Michael LeSage felt that Councilwoman Ward may have a conflict of interest
since she does own and operate a motel. Councilwoman Ward did.not agree but
would not take part in the proceedings.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that if Sonic was allowed to deregulate, that would
mean they could charge 75 percent of whatever the consumer price index was. In
a sense, he felt that this would regulate them to some extent. Michael LeSage
stated that some cities have allowed the cable companies to deregulate but
demand all the information each year to establish the cable company meets the
criteria. The deregulation statute has a lot of commitments to it that must be
met.
Councilman Anderson asked what.the approximate expenses would be if the City
did decide to file suit against Sonic Cable TV? Michael LeSage stated that the
issue is so important statewide that it will be a test case, which requires a
lot of money. Mr. LeSage mentioned that one of the weakest points with the
AB 699 is that it allows a change to occur in an existing agreement.
Kent Taylor stated that Council might wish to have Michael LeSage contact some
specialized legal service in this area to get an idea of the legal costs that
would be involved and a comment on our legal position. Mr. LeSage felt that
some time is needed to thoroughly review the current franchise agreement as staff
does have some questions regarding it.
• Councilwoman Deutsch thought that the Council had decided at the October 30
meeting to take Sonic Cable TV to court. The matter had been postponed in order
to have this public hearing.
Mr. Taylor stated that the Council can go ahead and proceed with the suit or
they could wait and request additional information from staff, i.e., legal
fees, etc.
A member of the public felt that the citizens were over a barrel. They didn't
like the idea of older people in the City who are living on fixed incomes not
being able to afford this increase. They also asked for a reason on the rate
increase. Mayor Dorn stated that the company claimed they were losing money
each month and had to borrow money.
Mr. LeSage stated that.this is strictly a policy issue. The Council can (1)
Proceed with the suit, (2) let the company deregulate, or (3) agree to an
increase over a four year term.
Mayor Dorn stated that he would rather see the City join with another city to
share costs of a legal suit and/or rate study, which he felt should be pursued.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons felt that representatives of Sonic and staff should negotiate
for a long term contract, which would allow us to answer the question, what is
a fair rate, etc.? Mr. Taylor stated that the.:company would be willing to set
a long term rate increase.
• Howard Gaines suggested that a letter be sent to the Attorney General's Office
to ascertain the power of .the Council in this matter to set a rate increase.

MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that we instruct staff to attempt to begin
negotiations with Sonic Cable TV for a long term agreement with a
negotiated rate increase. If this solution fails, then he moved that
staff return for further Council action. This was seconded by
Councilman Anderson. On a roll call vote: Anderson, yes; Deutsch,
no; Dorn, no; Lemons, yes; Ward, no.
Councilwoman Deutsch again stated her view that the Council had voted at a
previous meeting to pursue legal action against Sonic Cable TV and the matter
had been postponed until this public hearing.
Mr. LeSage restated his belief that Councilwoman ward not vote in case this
matter did go to court.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that staff write Sonic Cable TV a letter
stating we would like to continue our negotiations toward a settle-
ment of the matter based upon a study of their records. Council
should make a decision based upon the response of Sonic Cable TV
to our attempts to negotiate. This was seconded.by Mayor Dorn. On
a roll call vote: Anderson, yes; Deutsch, yes; Dorn, yes; Lemons,
yes; Ward, abstain.
C-2 GLADYS WALTON REQUEST FOR COUNCIL RECONSIDERATION OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS
• AT 206 MAIN STREET '
Mr. Taylor stated that Mrs. Walton would like some wording changes in the
covenant that was approved by the Council. Mrs. Walton would like to make a
presentation to the Council as to the reasons why she would like these changes
to be made. In order to comply with the City's municipal code, it is necessary
for the property owner to execute the declaration of covenant, which dedicates
the five parking spaces on 206 Main Street as the parking area for individuals
visiting 225 Main Street.
Mrs. Walton stated that an added section was put in the covenant following
the last meeting when this was approved. Her children claim that the said
parking spaces shall be provided at the exclusive use of the property at 225
Main Street and they would like to have added 206 Main Street. She stated that
when the moratorium is lifted, she would like to apply for a permit to build
a caretakers cottage on 206 Main Street.
Michael LeSage stated that the covenant can be amended to read that the parking
spaces at 206 Main Street shall be provided for the use of the property at
225 Main Street and 206 Main Street. However, he would like another sentence
added stating "not less than five spaces will be made available for parking for
the exclusive use of 225 Main Street."
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that the Declaration of Covenant be amended
as stated by Michael LeSage and that Gladys Walton and her children
• sign the covenant as agreed. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and so
carried.

• C-3 FINICKY FISH - DeGARIMORE - LEASE SITE NO. 128.
Mr. Taylor stated that the deGarimore's have requested reconsideration by
the City Council of the percentage of sales required by the lease agreement.
They question the ability of a fish market to operate in an economical and
sensible way on a City lease site if such a percentage is required.
Mr. Taylor stated that staff has met with the deGarimore's and their attorney,
Mr. Sinsheimer, and they have agreed that the terms of their contract continue
in effect until such time as the study of both the City's lease policy and the
current status of all city leases is completed. The study should be completed
within the next three to four months.
Staff will present Council at the December 22 meeting with specific recommenda-
tions to correct administrative deficiencies on the leases. Mr. LeSage stated
that there is a discrepancy between the County and City lease agreements which
makes it difficult to compete on the waterfront. He stated that the Council
will try to reappraise the leases when there is a change of ownership, etc.
This would make the County leases in compliance with the City leases.
C-4 GRAHAM'S LANDING - HUTCHISON AND LINDQUIST - LEASE SITES 93, 94, 95, 93W,
94W AND 95W
Rodger Anderson excused himself from this portion of the meeting due to a conflict
• of interest.
Keith George, attorney for Graham's Landing, circulated pictures of the operation
that is in existence at the present time at Graham's Landing. This particular
issue was not brought to his client's attention until September of this year. It
was the city's belief that they were in violation of their lease: (1) sale of
beer and wine; (2) delicatessen was in operation; (3) sale of antiques. They were
asked to stop the lease or apply for a modification of the lease. They have a
county lease, and the rent is based on a percentage of assessed value and not on
gross. The permitted uses include floats, boat rentals, boat repairs, boat
buildings, party boats, taxi service, cafe and boat launching facilities. In
1970 the lease was changed to include gift shop. It is the opinion of his client
that there could be several interpretations of the documentation. They were not
in violation of the lease. They had taken over the operation in 1979, ad always
pay the rent. They took the existing tackle shop and moved it into approximately
1/3 of the square.footage. A partition was put between the tackle shop and then
in the front 2/3 of the building we put a cafe. His client's only intention was
to upgrade the facility. They are trying to make it into a year round operation.
In December, 1979, they applied to the ABC to get an off premises license to sell
beer and wine to be used on the party boats. They also started proceedings to
get an on -location license to sell .it on land. Some of the pertinent facts
here - we acquired the off -sale license, the county health officer passed
inspection, and Bill George inspected the premises in August.
Bill George stated they did not obtain the required building permits. He wrote
a letter indicating .these violations, which they deny receiving.
• Keith George stated that the definition of a cafe according to Webster's dictionary
is a formal restaurant that sells alcoholic beverages. He stated that the permit
allows an operation of a cafe and party boats, which would include the sale of
alcoholic beverages.
MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 24, 1980
• Page Six
Mike LeSage stated that this is one case of the delicatessen being another
cafe. He stated that when the lease says cafe - that means one cafe - not two
or more. The beer and wine sales on the premises is a new one. There is
nothing in the lease that states this can be on.the premises.
Councilwoman Deutsch asked if they couldn't apply for the change in their
lease to allow the uses. Mike LeSage stated that 'they do not want to apply and
make an admission that these are not permitted uses. This would be detrimental
to their legal position.
Michael LeSage stated that the opportunity exists when a major change occurs
for the city to convert the county lease to a city lease. Keith George felt
that the lease should not be changed since the sale of the property is enhanced by
a county lease and it is figured into the purchase price of the property.
Mr. LeSage stated that the Council is faced with a unilateral change. It is an
opportunity to insist on a city lease. He didn't feel that anywhere in the lease
that the sale of beer and wine is a permitted use. It is a major change in the
lease.
There was a lengthy discussion on this matter whereby both sides kept restating
their positions.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if Council were to require that they request that they
• include the sale of beer and wine and other changes, this would not preclude us
to continue this operation until a period of time when that could be ascertained.
Mr. LeSage.stated that council has the.option of making a decision tonight or
waiting until the uses are determined by the Planning Commission for a waterfront
use.
Mr. Hutchison stated that the on -sale or off -sale license for beer and wine
sales can be used interchangeably according to the law. This was just approved.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that he would have to agree with the city attorney
inthat the use is not covered in the lease. However, that is not to say that
he wouldn't agree to it being a use but thought it was incumbant on the lessees
to request that from the Planning Commission since they are in a PD zone.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we advise Graham's Landing to either
cease the activities that are not permitted in their lease or request
a change in the lease uses. This motion died for a lack of a second.
Keith George still maintained that the uses were permitted as stated under
the.lease.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that staff be directed to assist Keith
George and his clients to start the necessary PD process and whatever
permits are necessary in a timely manner. There is no intent to shut
down the present operation of Graham's Landing while this process is
• going on or to prejudice this case. If this is not done, staff was
requested to bring this back to Council. This was seconded by
Councilwoman Ward. On a roll call vote: Lemons - yes; Deutsch - yes;
Ward - yes; Dorn - no.

C-5 REPORT BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR CONCERNING ADMINISTRATION OF,LEASESITES.
Kent Taylor stated that staff would like to come back to Council with recommenda-
tions to clean up this problem of the leases. We are planning to bring a
specific list of recommendations to the Council'on December 22. We do need a
set of procedures, a recordkeeping system and we have inadequate staff at the
moment. He stated that it wouldn't be cost proficient to the City to have an
audit on each lease site.
Staff will be meeting with a property management firm this week to see how they
could help to solve the problem. We have also talked to the County Assessor,
Dick Frank, and he stated that his office will devote complete cooperation to
the City to clean up staff communication problems there.
The final determination is going to be staffing - either temporary or permanent.
Mr. Taylor felt this is typically a public works function and this is the area
it should be assigned.
The overall recommendation would be to return to the Council on December 22 for
a long term soluton to correct these management problems.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Council support the City Administrator
and allow him to come back to Council on December 22 with a list of
recommendations to solve our current lease situation. This was
• seconded by Mayor Dorn and so carried.
Howard Gaines stated that the City should be moving in the Prop. 13 direction.
Michael LeSage stated that when talking to Dick Frank, the County Assessor,
he mentioned that he would like to be appraised of those sites that change,
etc. We will also develop a procedure for providing the tax assessor's office
with any changes, etc.
D. ITEMS OF INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
D-1 TOXIC WASTE ORDINANCE
Mr. Taylor stated that the Planning Commission at its September 2 meeting made
a motion to ask the Council's guidance on a toxic waste ordinance. If'the
Council feels they would like to have such an ordinance, the Planning Commission
will proceed to draft one. Mr. Taylor's only concern was that staff time not
be taken away from the Local Coastal Plan to complete this work.
Bill George stated that this matter was brought before the Planning Commission
when Chevron applied for a use permit to use their pipelines to carry toxic
waste material. Even though Chevron did withdraw their request, the Planning
Commission denied it. He felt this was not a high priority matter but they
did want to bring it up to the Council.
This matter was left as discussed with no action being taken at this time.

D-2 MYERS-SITES MATTER
Kent Taylor stated that we have received a communication from Michael LeSage
on this matter. Mr. and Mrs. Sites, who sublease from Myers, owe the City
$10,046.44 in lease payments. The question is whether it be a lump sum payment
or distributed over a few months. Staff is recommending that this amount be
paid in a lump sum since it is back due.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that the Sites be required to make a lump
sum payment to the City for the back rent due in the amount of
$10,046.44. This was seconded by Councilwoman ward and so carried.
D-3 WATER EQUIVALENCY QUESTION
Councilwoman Deutsch excused herself from this portion of the meeting due to a
conflict of interest.
Mr. Taylor stated that Ray Gallo had made a request for his cleints to discuss
the water equivalency question. The property is in escrow and Council's
direction is required on this matter. Mr. Gallo's clients are developers of
the Stocking property. Mr. Gallo is requesting an appeal before the Council
to speak on the staff equivalency as originally granted.
• Bill George stated that Council had passed Municipal Code 13.20.080 which states
that water equivalencies are non -transferable. At this time, the individual
is selling the project. Normally the procedure would be fore the new buyer to
reapply for a building permit and an allocation of the water.
Ray Gallo stated that all they are asking is that the project be sold with the
water. It really has no significance if the developer or a buyer does the
same developing. The new buyer would have the option to reject the whole
project and go with a new project wherein he would have to reapply for the
building permits and water equivalency. He felt that the equivalency follows the
project so that there is -no way he isgoing to gain by doing this.
Michael LeSage stated that the Council had the two ordinances before them -
the old one and the current one. The old one was a little bit looser in its
prohibition and said that the water equivalency permits are not transferrable.
The new section states that a water equivalency shall be awarded to a specific
project. You have the same property but a different person. The obvious
meaning is that you can't transfer this water equivalency to another person on
another sale. But, it does go along with it.
Bill George stated that Keith Gurnee's intent was to keep someone from going
on a project and selling it out to a developer. A water equivalency is not
issued until the building permit is given. In this case, the building permit
has not been granted.
• Mr. Gallo stated that in this case where the estate has substantial taxes and
the widow is not in a position to develop the property, it cries for a sale.

If the Council prohibits this sale, the widow will be forced to develop the
property at a great hardship. He further stated that the water equivalency
had been approved by the State Water Resources Board, City Council, Planning
Department and Coastal Commission.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that the water equivalency on this particular
property be allowed to be transferred with the sale of the property
provided that the project remain the same. This was seconded by
Mayor Dorn. On a roll call vote: Ward, yes; Dorn, yes; Anderson,
yes; Lemons, yes.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked staff to prepare an amendment that will clarify
this particular question on water equivalency.
D-4 SENIOR CITIZENS VAN
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that he has received a number of phone calls
regarding the Senior Van. This van is being utilized on the days when it is
scheduled to go to San Luis Obispo for doctors appointments, shopping, etc. On
occasion, the scheduled trip has been cancelled because the Dial -A -Ride buses are
inoperative. This has been the practice in the past. He asked if staff couldn't
represent a report on this problem at the next meeting.
• John Bressan stated that he has instituted a plan into operation regarding the
senior van, which he felt the Council should be aware of. A set of guidelines
have been set. (1) If there is medical appointment scheduled in San Luis
Obispo on the appropriate day (Monday or Thursday), the Senior Van goes to
San Luis Obispo without question. (2) If there is a scheduled shopping trip only
to San Luis Obispo, if one Dial -A -Ride bus is out of service and it is felt
that the van is needed to supplement the Dial -A -Ride system, then the trip to
San Luis Obispo will be cancelled provided it is not the second time it is
cancelled in a row. If it is.the second time, then the requirements are that
two Dia-A-Ride buses must be out of service. He felt that this would be a good
balance and allow the seniors to make their doctors appointments.
Councilwoman Deutsch felt that since the Senior Van is used whenever a Dial -A -Ride
bus is inoperative, then a Dial -A -Ride Bus should be made available whenever the
Senior Van is inoperative on the days scheduled to make the trip to San Luis
Obispo.
John Bressan stated that according to the SB325 funding, the Dial -A -Ride buses
are for use onlywithinthe City limits, not to San Luis Obispo. He also didn't
feel that the Senior Van should be used only for six hours a week on the two
trips to San Luis Obispo. This isn't the best utilization of a vehicle. The
mechanics employed by Public Works do keep the vehicles in top running condition
and they*are checked before each trip.
Councilwoman Deutsch felt that the plan worked out by John Bressan was a good
one.

Kent Taylor stated that this ordinance is for second reading and approval by
the City Council. This ordinance deals with porch., landing place or stairway
projections.

Kent Taylor read Ordinance No. 186 by title only - "An Ordinance Amending Section 16
of Ordinance 100 and Section 17.48.130 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code."
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this constitutes the second reading of
Ordinance No. 186 and that it be approved. This was seconded by
Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
B-2 ORDINANCE NO. 190, FIREARMS AND MISSILES
Kent Taylor stated that this ordinance is for second reading and approval by
the City Council. This proposed ordinance was recommended by Chief Olson and
it is similar to other ordinances that other municipalities have.
Councilman Anderson was concerned that use of bows and arrows by private individuals
in their own back yards would be in violation of this ordinance. Al Olson stated
that there have been no problems with bow and arrow use but also felt this should
be kept in the ordinance in order for it to have some teeth to it. However, it
is not the Police Department's intent to sneak around and cite people on use
in their own yards.
Michael LeSage stated that the words "or private individuals" could be inserted
in Section 9.16.040 after the words "established archery clubs." This was agreed
to by all concerned.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Ordinance No. 190, as amended, be read
by title only and that this would constitute the first reading. This
was seconded by Councilman Anderson and so carried.
Kent Taylor read Ordinance No. 190, as amended, by title only - "An Ordinance
Amending Chapter 9.16 of Title 9 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code."
C. PUBLIC HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
C-1 GRAHAM'S LANDING - LINDQUIST AND HUTCHINSON, LEASE SITES 93, 94, 95, 93W, 94W
AND 95W.
Kent Taylor stated that a request had been submitted by Michael Collins, attorney
for Graham's Landing, that this matter be postponed until the November 24 meeting
to allow time for pictures to be developed in this matter.
Michael LeSage stated that he would like to request that Mr. -Collins submit a'
written request to the office regarding this postponement. This was agreed to
by Mr. Collins, who was present at the meeting. Therefore, the request for a
postponement was agreed to by all Council members present and the matter will be
heard at the November 24, 1980 City Council Meeting.
Howard Gaines stated that he would like to be heard on this matter at this time
rather than wait for it to be heard on November 24: The Council agreed to this
request but stipulated that he would not be heard on this matter at the next
regular meeting.

Mr. Gaines asked Council if all the leases were to be reviewed at this time or
if they were being reviewed as they came up for renewal/transfer? Michael
LeSage stated that this question on the lease use had been brought to his
attention by the City staff and it is not a lease transfer/change. Mr. Gaines
felt that all of the leases should be reviewed. Under Proposition 13, lease-
hold improvements are the same as property improvements. At the time a lease
is transferred, Mr. Gaines felt that these leases should be re -appraised.
Michael LeSage stated he had planned to recommend to Council that a property
management firm or an accounting firm be hired to go through all of the leases
and bring them up to date.
C-2 DISCUSSION OF ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE BY A TRUSTEE FOR STEPHEN YEOMAN AND
VIRGINIA YEOMAN OF PACIFIC SHELLFISH COMPANY
Kent Taylor stated that this is an assignment of a trust deed to PCA. It was
Council's consensus at the last meeting that the proponents of the lease should
be present to explain why their request should be granted.
Mrs. Virginia Yeoman stated that they have requested a loan from PCA for the
acquisition of the lease.
Michael LeSage stated that once the property has been encumbered, your hands
are tied. However, there is nothing that would prohibit this in the current
lease agreement, but he couldn't understand why PCA would require this.
Mrs. Yeoman mentioned that this is the first time that PCA has made a loan for
a dock as they usually make loans for farm related materials or boats. They
were just taking precautions.
Councilwoman Deutsch requested that a representative from PCA contact Mike
LeSage about this assignment of a trust deed, which was agreed to by Mrs. Yeoman.
Mayor Dorn stated that this matter would then be continued at the November 24
meeting.
Howard Gaines asked that he be heard on this matter rather than wait for the
entire matter to be discussed at the November 24 meeting. This was agreed to
by all Council members present. Mr. Gaines felt that where the City performs
work on behalf of lenders, etc., we should be charging for these services. He
felt a percentage of the overhead, etc. should be charged and the City should
stop "giving away" services.
D. ITEMS OF INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
D-1 T-PIER AGREEMENT.
Michael LeSage stated that he was not present when Council discussed this. He
wanted Council to know that he had added a clause to the lease which states
"if the lease area is expanded that the lease rental will continue at the same
rate as under the existing lease." The existing lease has a reduced rental,
which expires in 1982. The Council members felt that this did not create a
problem since any expansion work would not be completed by 1982 with all the
permits, etc. that are needed to begin construction.
MINUTES - Morro Bay City Council '
Regular Meeting - November 10, 1980
Page Four
Ron Myers stated that the Great American Fish Company was granted a reduced
lease rental with a yearly review basis. He asked if this matter was being
followed up? Michael LeSage stated that he was working on this.
Mr. Myers also asked if something could be done to correct the inadequacies
between the County leases and the City leases. Since the county leases are so
much lower, it puts some lease holders at a distinct disadvantage.
Michael LeSage stated that this matter does exist but the solution needed to be
corrected by the County. The percentage paid on a county lease is of the
appraised value set by the County Assessor's Office. The only present
opportunities you have under the present leases are (1) change of use, (2)
the lease is transferred and presently reassessed, (3) we can again meet with
the County Assessor's Office and come closer to the appraised value.
D-2 EVALUATION OF LEASE AGREEMENTS
Michael LeSage recommended that the Council either hire an accounting firm or
real estate consultant firm to review all the lease files. The present City
staff are not capable, timewise, to handle this type of project. It is going
to take someone's full time and effort. This individual would be assisting
Kent Taylor, Acting City Administratbr, the Finance. Director and the City
Attorney.
Councilwoman Deutsch agreed wholeheartedly that someone should be hired to review
the leases. However, she felt that someone with an accounting background would
serve our needs best, and felt that the expense of an accounting firm could be
avoided by advertising for someone to help on a month to month basis.
Kent Taylor mentioned to the Council that he was currently looking into this
matter and would report back at the next meeting with proposals and alternatives
on this matter.
D-3 Michael LeSage requested a short executive session after this meeting to
discuss the Tidelands matter.
D-4 Kent Taylor asked for Council's guidance on the location of the anchor that
Council had accepted as a gift from Andy Satko. This has been before the Planning
Commission and they recommended the Dunes Street Park as their primary choice.
If another location is deemed more practical at a future date, it would not be
difficult to move the anchor at that time.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Council approve the location of the
Dunes Street Park for the anchor. This was seconded by Councilman
Anderson and so carried.
D-5 Councilwoman Deutsch felt it was important to direct and encourage staff
to take care of the items that were mentioned in Don Guluzzy's status report.
She felt that the most important priorities were:
(1) obtaining estimates on the cost of establishing a fixed asset account on
a timely basis.
MINUTES - Morro Bay City Council
Regular Meeting - November 10, 1980
Page Five
(2) obtain a bid from Alexander Grant for re -constructing our grant files
as quickly as possible. She felt we are in great danger of having to
repay funds simply because we don't have an adequate accounting system.
(3) correct all the internal problems as stated in the audit in our Water
Department, accounts receivable and payroll in order that we may get on
a businesslike basis for running the City.
Kent Taylor stated that staff had planned to place the audit report on
a future agenda for public hearing. Staff has a meeting with the auditors
to discuss their reoommendations since we do have some questions. This
would be placed on the agenda after that meeting.
(4) establish a plant ledger for the City. Kent Taylor stated that this is
being done by Bill Pierotti, Acting Finance Director.
D-6 T-PIER AGREEMENT
Councilwoman Ward asked if the agreement on the T-Pier had been signed by all
parties. Michael LeSage stated that he had revised.the agreement and had
requested staff tb submit a map with this agreement showing the changes. This
has been completed and will be sent for signature tomorrow.
D-7 PROPOSITION ONE
Mayor Dorn stated that since Proposition One has been passed by the voters, Morro
Bay will be entitled to get funds for the sandspit. This is very important to
Morro Bay. He will be travelling to Sacramento on November 18-19 for a meeting
on this matter.
D-8 LOCAL COASTAL PLAN
Howard Gaines commented that the Local Coastal Plan must be completed by July,
1981. A lot of the cities are behind in their plans and and are being granted
a six month extension in order to have the plans completed. He noted that Pismo
Beach are advertising for hearings and asked what the status of our plan is.
Mr. Taylor stated that the draft is slated to be done this month and the hearings
to being after the first of the year. Murrel Crump stated that the hearings
will probably take two months to complete. The next phase of the LCP would be
to update the general plan. There is currently no schedule for this work at this
time. Therefore, a six month extension may be needed.
Mayor Dorn stated that the sooner the City adopts a plan, the sooner we can get
out from under the Coastal Commission.
A citizen asked what the status was on the water situation, which would allow
us to have the building moratorium lifted. Councilman Anderson stated that a
draft proposal was submitted, and we now have 45 days in which to make any
comments, etc. and the final report should be out in January. He also mentioned
that there is some question as to who imposed the building moratorium.

A. OLD BUSINESS
A-1 SONIC CABLE TV MATTER.
The meeting was adjourned into executive session to discuss the matter before
Council. The meeting was called back into regular session at 5:15 PM. Mayor
Pro-Tem Lemons stated that this item is on the agenda and Council has a copy
of Sonic's declaration to deregulate, a copy of the interim rate agreement, and
the charges for service to different cities in California and San Luis Obispo
County. Members of Sonic Cable TV are present. The Council can take further
action or decide not to do anything from their October 30 meeting.
Michael LeSage, City Attorney, suggested that it might be in the Council's
best interest to hold this matter until Monday, for the regularly scheduled
meeting. Mr. LeSage stated that the other cities have agreed to an interim rate
increase which would establish what the rate of return is and give the Council
some kind of criteria if the rate increase were to be allowed. If, with the
benefit of the rate study, you find that the rates are currently adequate, Sonic
could then elect to challenge this and deregulate. Mr. LeSage wondered if it
wouldn't be wise to wait for this rate study.
There was some discussion on the right of Sonic to deregulate. Councilman
Anderson stated that the comments he had heard from the public were more
concerned with the quality of service rather than the increase in rates.
Mr. LeSage stated that another option would be to allow Sonic to deregulate,
which would in turn require Sonic to install a public service channel.
Mr. LeSage stated that Sonic offered to increase .the rate from 3% - 4%, which
would raise the franchise revenues by $1,800 and also included HBO revenues
at 1/2 of 3%, which would amount to approximately $4,450 annual increase to the
City.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this matter with Sonic Cable TV be
scheduled for a public hearing with proper notice on November 24 to

allow.for public comment. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward

Mr. Bill Hargan of Sonic Cable TV gave the Council a copy of Grover City's
agreement for a permanent rate increase, which was a unanimous decision of
their Council.

ROLL CALL
PRESENT: Councilmen Anderson, Deutsch, Lemons, Ward and Mayor Dorn
ABSENT: None
Mr. Guluzzy stated that this meeting had been adjourned from last
Monday evening.
1) Ordinance Number 190, Firearms'a6d Missiles, First Reading.
Mr. Guluzzy stated the first item for'discussion-was Ordinance No. 190,
Firearms and Missiles, First Reading. This item had been referred back to the
City Attorney for revision.
Councilman Anderson mentioned he had some previous concern with regards
to that section dealing with sling shots, bows and arrows but after discussion
regarding those concerns, he felt they had been removed.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved that Ordinance No. 190 be read by
title only. Motion was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and
carried unanimously by roll call vote.
Mr. Guluzzy read Ordinance No. 190 by title only: "An Ordinance
Amending Chapter 9.16 of Title 9 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code."
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved the first reading of Ordinance No.
190 be approved. Motion was seconded by Councilwoman Ward
and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
2) Settlement
and 111.5W
reement of Brebe's T-Pier Lease Sites 105.3W. 10614-108W
An outline of the settlement proposal was presented by Mr. Guluzzy,
showing basic terms of agreement as reached between the city and Brebe's
lease partners. Two basic proposals were presented: one which would be to
forgive past due rent owed for the T-Pier (109P and 109PW). In this agree-
ment, the City would agree to pay Brebes a total sum of $45,000 to be paid
in two installments: $22,500 by Janaury 5, 1981 and $22,500 by January 5, 1982.
The second proposal would have the city and Brebes mutually releasing each
other from any claims, etc. and at the same time, Great American Fish Company
would assign 39' of Lease Site 111.5W to the city. The city, in turn, would
consent to a 15' expansion of the existing restaurant and bar for any use
allowed in their present waterward lease along the entire front of the existing
restaurant in the undeveloped portion of Lease Site 111 with a three foot (3')
City Council Adjournef'eeting

Page Two
setback between Lease Site 110W and 109P. The city would also allow a
thirty foot (30') expansion waterward of the restaurant in the undeveloped
area of Lease Site 110W in front of the existing restaurant.
Mr. Guluzzy noted to the Council that on the bottom of Page 1, the
next to the last sentence should be reworded to read "Further, the CITY OF
MORRO BAY consents to a waterward expansion of the restaurant in the undevel
portion of Lease Site 111.5W, 30 feet in front of the waterward line of
The first sentence on Page 2 should be corrected to read:
OW and/or IIZ..SW the 3 foot setback area between the 110W
ease ine an t e 109P easeline...."
Councilman Lemons asked if an addition could be made on 110W that
the city would still require a three foot walkway.
Councilman Anderson stated that the three foot walkway is a Coastal
Commission requirement.
Further discussion followed in regards to the language structure of
this lease sentence.
Councilwoman Deutsch noted that the indemnification clauses had been
deleted from both the Brebes Agreement and the Great American Fish Company
Agreement. It was the consensus of the Council these clauses be reinserted.
Mr. Ogle assured the Council there would be no objection on either
his part or the other partners on the reinsertion of these sections.
Another issue that was brought up was the Coastal Conservancy bid
to renovate the T-Pier. Since the Coastal Conservancy costs,are fixed, any
delay in executing the:Brebes Lease Agreement would eventually burden the
city with a larger share of the total costs. The execution of the Brebes
Agreement is important, also, in that only after the signing of this agreement
by both the city and Brebes will the agreement with Great American Fish Company
be executed.
Mr. Bruce Risley, speaking from the audience, felt the public had not
been fully informed of the property involved and what would be done with
that property.
Mr. Bressan, Public Services Director pointed out to Mr. Risley,
using aerial photos, the location of the involved Lease Sites and those
portions of the T-Pier to be removed, restroom locations', etc.
Discussion followed among the Council in regard to city acquisition,
reasons for settlement, and potential costs and savings to the city.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved the agreement settlement, as drawn
up by City Attorney Michael Le Sage, with the corrections
as noted, be accepted as presented. The motion was seconded
by Councilwoman Ward and carried unanimously by roll call vote.

3) Resolution No. 101-80, Approvinq an Aqreement Establishinq an
interim Kate increase Under Certain Conditions for Sonic Cable
a franchisee
Mr. Guluzzy stated that Sonic Cable had requested an increase in
their monthly service rate to their Morro Bay customers. The other cities
involved in the rate increase, as well as Morro Bay, had met previously
to discuss this price change October 24. As Sonic had already billed
their customers for an increase to $8.00 from the present $5.75, the
company, to prevent any problems, came in to establish an interim increase
agreement. A credit would be given if an interim rate lower than the
billed $8.00 was agreed upon.
Mr. Guluzzy explained the rate increase as it would affect homes, mobile -
homes, motels and commercial buildings.
Mayor Dorn mentioned that he had a call from the Mayor of Arroyo Grande
earlier in the day asking the City of Morro Bay to hold off at the present time
until all cities involved in the price hike could again meet and establish an
interim rate.
Discussion followed after Mr. Guluzzy outlined the two choices open to
the Council: 1) if an interim rate was not affected by November 1, 1980,
the rate as spelled out by Sonic would be in effect; 2) the Council could
try to work out an agreement, or legally try to prevent an increase, thus
testing the recently passed AB 699 giving the cable television companies the
right to increase their rates. The majority of Council felt the quality and
service of the cable company was poor thereby not meriting an increase.
Councilman Lemons argued, however, that if the interim rate asked by Sonic of
$7.25 was not voted upon, the $8.00 rate to be charged would cost the residential
users more.
Councilwoman Deutsch voiced her opinion that the company was not
deserving of any increase.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Council instruct Mr. Le Sage,
City Attorney, to proceed with the necessary steps to enjoin
the Sonic Cable TV Company from raising the current cost
level until the Council has received a completed study.
Further, that Mr. Le Sage be requested to ask Sonic Cable to
drop their arbitrary deadline of November 1, 1980 to December 1,
1980. Motion was seconded by Mayor Dorn and passed on a 3-2
roll call vote.
Mr. Farrell, attorney representing Sonic Cable TV, indicated to Council
that litigation would not be a simple injunction action, but a damaging action
and urged Council to discuss the matter with their City Atotrney, not present
at this meeting.
Councilman Lemons discussed the point that if an interim rate had been
adopted, assuming there are 3,300 subscribers, in that six months period there
would be an estimated $14,000 savings that would have accrued to the people of
the city.

Councilwoman Ward felt that AB-699 was taking the ball completely out
of the hands of the city so as to have all control over future increases.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that there be a substitute motion
on the first motion made by Councilwoman Deutsch, to recon-
sider the interim rate increase. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Lemons and failed on a 3-2 roll call vote.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved Council accept a one month increase of
$8.00 to residences and $3.10 for motels and commercial
buildings so as to permit a rate study to be completed. Motion
was seconded by Councilman Anderson and failed on a 3-2 roll
call vote.
Original motion by Councilwoman Deutsch to stand.
4) Re -assignment of City Engineer Position.
Mr. Guluzzy briefly stated that John Bressan was requesting Council
approval for the re -assignment of the City Engineer's position to the Public
Services Director.
Mr. Bressan outlined for the Council the cost savings that would occur
over the next year_and a_half_if Mr, Chrissakis was assigned to the ci.ty's -
Wastewater Treatment Plant and replaced by Mr. Bressan acting as both Public I
Services Director and City
_-Engineer.____
Council agreed that one person should be acting as both Public Services
Director and City Engineer, but questioned the fact that Mr. Bressan was
requesting the addition of an administrative aide to assist him with those
duties now being handled by Mr. Chrissakis.
It was agreed upon by the Council that Councilman Lemons and Acting
City Administrator Kent Taylor would talk with Mr. Chrissakis regarding the
re -assignment.
5) Status Report on Fire Department Reorganization Analysis.
Mr. Guluzzy stated. that. Mr. Coleman, Chief of the San Clemente Fire
Department had concluded his analyzati.on of the city's Fire Department and
had submitted his findings to him. Chief Coleman had stated to Mr. Guluzzy
that he was positive about the discussions he had had With both Chief Zerr
and the other firemen.
Chief Coleman's main objective in the investigation was to try and get
the department back on a working relationship among themselves. Chief Coleman
indicated he would be holding a workshop with the men regarding their
positions and inter -office relationship.

B. OLD BUSINESS
B-1 ORDINANCE NO. 184, AMENDING PURCHASING ORDINANCE NO. 164 PROVIDING FOR THE
PURCHASE OF SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT. Second Reading.
Don Guluzzy gave a brief summary of this ordinance and stated that it would
authorize more freedom and flexibility in the bidding process.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if we could restrict future automobile buys to
American made cars when we go to bid. Mike LeSage stated that there is a "buy
American" Act on certain state laws. He was not sure whether or not the courts
have upheld this. He stated that he would research this and report back to the
Council at the next meeting.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved for the approval of Ordinance No. 184, and
that this constitutes the second reading. Councilwoman Deutsch seconded
the motion and it was passed unanimously.
C. NEW BUSINESS
C-1 PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO POLICE BUILDING.
Don Guluzzy stated that this is a request for modifications to the Police Building
for the improved safety of the personnel in the Department. The present plate
glass does not provide enough safety for the personnel. The cost estimate is
$3,000 for a combination of slump block, decorative block and a redwood border.
Councilwoman Ward stated that the Police Building is in a poor location and
does have a terrible front that is a danger to the personnel. She felt it would
be extremely expensive if this proposal were not approved.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked what the status of the Police Department budget was?
Mr. Guluzzy stated that the budget is so austere thattliera would be no funds
available at this time for the proposed modifications.
Mayor Dorn asked if there were any federal funds available for this type of work?
Chief Olson stated that these types of funds are practically nonexistent.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that :he would rather take the money needed for this
modification out of the current Police Budget and later in the year transfer
the funds. Chief Olson stated that there are dollars available in salaries since
they have been down two people for a period of two months. This money could be
used.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the modifications to the Police Department
be authorized without the transfer at the present time of funds from
Contingency Reserve. Councilwoman Ward seconded this and it was passed
unanimously by roll call vote.
C-2 RESOLUTION NO. 99-80, APPROVING BID AWARD TO MOTOROLA FOR $6,924 FOR THE
PURCHASE OF PAGERS FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
• •
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - October 27, 1980
Page Three
Mr. Guluzzy stated that an additional $924.99 is needed for the purchase of
pagers for the Fire Department due to the fact that the prices had risen and
for the modifications of the existing pagers. Councilwoman Deutsch asked if
the total cost would then be $6,924.99, which Mr. Guluzzy affirmed.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved for the approval of Resolution No. 99-80.
This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried unanimously by
roll call vote.
C-3 RESOLUTION APPOINTING AN ACTING CITY ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE CITY OF MORRO
BAY.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that this resolution is needed to allow the new Acting City
Administrator/Acting City Clerk to be paid effective October 27, 1980'and his
position to become effective November 1, 1980.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Kent Taylor be appointed as Acting City
Administrator/Acting City Clerk and that Council should thank the
County Administrator and Board of Supervisors for their cooperation.
He further moved that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign an
agreement to pay for Mr. Taylor's services to begin October 27 and for
Mr. Taylor to assume the office on November 1, 1980. This was seconded
by Mayor Dorn and unanimously agreed to by all present.
A citizen from the audience asked what the salary of the new Acting City
Administrator would be. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that the salary would not
exceed the present salary of Mr. Guluzzy.
Carl Landsbury felt that the Administrative Assistant for the City should be the
Acting City Administrator rather than go outside to fill the vacancy. Councilman
Anderson stated that Ms. MCKibbin was not interested in the permanent position
of City Administrator and is involved with other projects that need her expertise
at this moment.
A five minute recess was called at 8:15 PM to allow the Council to be introduced
to Mk. Taylor. The meeting was called back to order by Mayor Dorn at 8:25 PM.
C-4 RESOLUTION NO. 81-80, AUTHORIZING CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT
WITH MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL.
Don Guluzzy stated that this matter has been brought before Council on at least
three occasions to discuss conditions of employment, holidays, vacation, sick
leave, etc. This would be for a term of two years with dismissal capabilities.
Mr. Guluzzy went over all of the department heads who would be affected by this
agreement. He also mentioned that he would not have a finance director,
administrative assistant and director of administrative services. There will be
only two positions and one of the above titles will be eliminated.
Mr. LeSage stated that he had some doubts about the Fire Chief and Police Chief
positions and would like some time to research this matter.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - October 27, 1980
Page Four
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we adopt Resolution No. 81-80 with
Mr. LeSage further researching those positions that are under contract.
This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and so carried.
C-5 ORDINANCE NO. 190, FIREARMS AND MISSLES, First Reading.
Don Guluzzy stated that this ordinance would amend Chapter 9.16 of Title 9 of the
Morro Bay Municipal Code and replace it with Sections 9.16.010 - 9.16.040. The
intent of the ordinance is to prohibit anyone from shooting or discharging any
pistol, revolver gun or firearm of any description that is not necessary for
self defense or performance of their official duty within the city limits without
the written permission of the Council. Archery Clubs would be exempt from this
provision. It also includes prohibition of any person who willfully and
maliciously throw stones or any hard substances at, against or upon any house
or building in the City of Morro Bay.
Chief Olson stated that we don't currently have any ordinance like this in the
Municipal Code. His officers are responding weekly to firearm violations and
felt that we do need an ordinance like this especially since Morro Bay is a bird
sanctuary.
There was a question as to whether this could amend the existing code or be an
addition. Mike LeSage suggested that this matter be postponed until Thursday,
October 30, to enable staff to research thiq. matter.
Mayor Dorn stated that this matter will be held over until Thursday as requested
by the city attorney, which was agreed to by all present.
C-6 ORDINANCE NO. 186, AMENDING SECTION 16 OF ORDINANCE 100 AND SECTION
17.48.130 OF THE MORRO BAY MUNICIPAL CODE. First Reading.
Don Guluzzy mentioned that this ordinance deals with porch, landing place or
stairway projections. This should be amended to read as initially intended by
the Community Development Department.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Ordinance 196 be read by title only.
This was seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons and so carried.
Don Guluzzy read Ordinance No. 186 by title only - "An Ordinance Amending
Section 16 of Ordinance 100 and Section 17.48.130 of the Morro Bay Municipal
Code."
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this constitutes the first reading
of Ordinance 186. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and so carried.
C-7 REVISION OF CONTRACT LANGUAGE IN THE HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN FOR THE CITY OF
MORRO BAY.
Don Guluzzy stated that a previous Council authorized Council and their dependents
to receive health benefits. This change in the contract wording was never
done. The second part of this request would allow part-time employees to
receive pro-rata benefits under the contract.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - October 27, 1980
Page Five
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we allow the revision in the health
benefit contract to allow part-time employees (20 hours per week)
and the Council to receive health benefits. This was seconded by
Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
D. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS AND APPEARANCES
D-1 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER BID AWARD FOR COMMUNITY PROMOTION ACTIVITIES.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons excused himself from this portion of the meeting.
Don Guluzzy stated that the lone bidder for the Community Promotion bid was
the Chamber of Commerce. He felt that there were some items that should be
reviewed in this bid before Council approves this contract as listed in his
memo to Council (see Attachment A).
Councilwoman Deutsch felt that the chamber's hands should not be tied when
referring to no profit can be made on promotional activities. An example given
was the Fourth of July parade whereby the Chamber does all of the advertising,
promotion, coordinating, etc. and then decides to sell balloons. Since they
made a profit of $5.50, then they cannot be reimbursed for any advertising or
expenses. She was totally in disagreement on this point and felt that the
City did trust the Chamber and there was such a small amountof money to be
allocated that we shouldn't be concerned about this.
Michael LeSage stated that Measure A is before the Courts now and it raises the
legal questions and it may not be decided at this stage. They may need a
trial to know whether it is valid. We should proceed on the premise that it is
valid until we are told otherwise.
Mr. LeSage further stated that the act allows the Council to pay the Chamber
for community promotion. If the Chamber puts on an event that is decided to
promote the community and also receives funds, then the concern is perhaps
you aren't paying for community promotion. Mr. LeSage personally felt that the
Chamber could be paid for a promotional event even though they make money from
the project.
Judy Kerestan of the Chamber of Commerce stated that (1) an event is not just
promoted and the City billed for expenses simply because the Chamber thinks it
is a thingto promote. An interest has been expressed by the City. (2) All
of the expenses for the booths, etc. were kept separate and none of these
expenses were turned in for City reimbursement. (3) All of the expenses,
except office expenses, are verified.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we accept the bid from the Chamber
of Commerce for Community Promotion and Visitor Information as
submitted and that the City Attorney draw up a contract to be signed
by the Mayor and City Clerk. Councilwoman Ward seconded this motion
and it was unanimously approved by all present.

E. INDIVIDUAL ITEMS OF DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 SPECIAL WORKSHOP MEETING
Don Guluzzy stated that there will be a special workshop meeting on November 6
to discuss the budget report for the quarter ending September 30. Ray Wood,
from Alexander Grant, Tom McGonagill, Bill Pierotti, Ann MCKibbin, and Don
Guluzzy will all be present at this meeting if Council is available. All
Council members present agreed to the meeting on November 6 at 5:00 PM.
E-2 SONIC CABLE TV
Don Guluzzy requested that this meeting be adjourned to Thursday, October 30
to discuss an interim rate increase for Sonic Cable TV. Mr. LeSage and he
met with representatives of Sonic Cable TV and Sonic feels they fall under
deregulation of AB 699. If this were the case, we would try to legally enjoin
them. Sonic Cable TV representatives- ave met with all the cities in San Luis
Obispo County that are concerned and have negotiated an interim rate increase
with each city, to be approved by each respective City Council.
Mayor Dorn was concerned about the quality of service. He was wondering why
the public should pay more if the improvement of service has not been made.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that hopefully this will be corrected. An interim rate of
$7.25 has been negotiated with Sonic for the City of Morro Bay for a period
not to exceed six months, which would give Morro Bay time to conduct a rate
analysis. At that time, Council would have full justification for whatever rate
increase will be involved. As of this interim rate agreement, the City would
also receive three percent of one-half of theirHBOrevenue that we are,not
entitled to at the present time.
This meeting was agreed to by all Council members present.
E-3 RECRUITMENT PROCESS FOR THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR POSITION.
Don Guluzzy requested that a representative of Council be named to work with
Ann. McKibbin on any directionand/or decisions that need to be made. John Lemons
and Dorotha Deutsch volunteered to be the liaison between Council and staff
on this project.
Don Guluzzy went over the various steps that he.felt should be used for obtaining
a city administrator - oral board, assessment center. He also mentioned that
there were several top notch city administrators from other cities that would
be available to assist the Council and sit on an oral board.
Councilwoman Deutsch felt that an Oral Board with the appropriate city administra-
tors would be essential. However, she did not feel an assessment center was
needed, since one was not used when Mr. Guluzzy was hired and Council felt they
got the best person for the job at that time.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons was concerned about committing themselves to an oral board
at this meeting. He asked if Council couldn't commit themselves to the idea of
an oral board but decide at a later date who will sit on this board. This was
agreed to by all present.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - October 27, 1980

E-4 FINANCE DIRECTOR
A new finance director has been appointed - Gere Sibbach. He will be available
to start work for the City on January 1 due to the fact that he is currently in
the middle of an audit at _his present job and will not be able to be released
from his job until that time. Bill Pierotti, the Acting Finance Director, will
be able to serve the City until the permanent Finance Director can take over the
duties of the position.
E-5 REASSIGNMENT OF CITY. ENGINEER POSITION.
Don Guluzzy stated that he would like to recommend to Council that they appoint
John Bressan as the City Engineer. There is a need for a full-time construction
manager and residential engineer to handle the outfall and plant modification
and upgrading with the sewer plant, which George Chrissakis would handle.
Mr. Guluzzy read the duties and responsibilities of the City Engineer. There are
currently two vacancies in the Public Services Department that John will need
to fill. One position is an administrative analyst, who would be responsible
for a lot of the daily workload that John currently handles. The other position
would be some alternative way in which to help Bill George on his building
inspections, which John is reviewing.
Mr. Guluzzy suggested that John Bressan be appointed as City Engineer and that
his salary would be $31,164/year.
Jody Giannini spoke in favor of John Bressan and the fine job he has done. He
felt that John should be supported in this position.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that Mr. Chrissakis' time would not be allocated (100%) to
the Plant. The preparation time on the construction plant would be paid under
a grant - approximately six months of the staff time or 3/10th of the staff year.
Bernie Zerr suggested that possibly his department could help in the building
inspection area.
It was decided by all council members present that this matter would be held
over until Thursday for a final decision. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked that staff
come back with answers to some questions he had on this matter for the Thursday
meetig. (1) Who handles the building plan checks? (2) What increase in
salary costs will this proposed change have?
E-6 ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
Mr. Guluzzy stated that we have had some problems with the electrical system
in the Police Department. Bill George has reviewed this and recommended
immediate repairs, which we have done. Staff will obtain an estimate for the
remainder of the work that needs to be completed. Al Olson stated that it was
hard to give an accurate estimate at this time because the building had, over
the years, suffered lot of neglect and a close guesstimate would be $1500-$2000.

E-7 COMMENDATION FOR MISBETH WOLLAM
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons submitted a resolution commending Misbeth Wollam for her
years of service to San Luis Obispo County as County Clerk. She will be
retiring at the end of this year.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Resolution No. 100-80 Honoring
Misbeth Wollam be approved. Councilwoman Ward seconded the motion
and it was so carried.
E-8 YEOMAN LEASE - LEASE SITES 130-133
Michael LeSage stated that the Yeomans are requesting that we assign their lease
by trust deed to Production Credit Association. Mr. LeSage went over the legal
aspects of granting such a request. He felt that the language of the lease has
been adequate in the past for banks and lending institutions and that Council
should not start at this time in making exceptions. However, by changing a
few words in the addendum that was submitted by Production Credit Association,
the agreement would be acceptable.
Councilwoman Deutsch felt that this amended addendum should be approved, which
would give the Yeoman's some negotiating power. However, Councilman Anderson
felt that this just might open a "can of worms" that Council did not intend.
Jody Giannini stated that he felt the future in lending would be from Production
Credit and that their requirements are a little different from other lending
institutions. Mike LeSage suggested to Council that it might be wise to ask
a representative of Production Credit Association to explain their terms and
conditions in financial arrangements.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that staff invite the Yeoman's to the next
regularly scheduled Council meeting to discuss why the changes are
required. This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and so carried.
E-9 Michael LeSage requested an executive session to discuss the T-Pier
settlement agreement.
The meeting was recessed into executive session at 9:50-PM. The meeting was
reconvened at 10:30 PM
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that.the meeting be adjourned to Thursday,
October 30 at 7:00 PM in the City Hall Conference Room. This was
seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and so carried..

D-4 APPEAL BY GLADYS WALTON FOR A WATER METER
Michael LeSage stated that he had prepared a covenant at Council's direction
from an earlier meeting. It did state that the ground cover should be used
for safety reasons and suggested that lot book reports on 225 Main Street and
206 Main Street be requested of Mrs. Walton so we know the legal owners and
have them on record.
John Bressan stated that the shrub height is restricted to two feet and his
suggestion would!be to allow low ground cover instead of shrubs.
Mrs. Walton felt that technically she should be allowed to have water since
the permit for the floating docks could not have been granted unless there is
a parking lot. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if there wasn't any reason that a
connection couldn't be provided near the fire hydrant and a flat rate be
charged to Mrs. Walton. This would alleviate granting a water meter in this
time of shortage. Mr. LeSage stated that he could insert a clause in the
covenant stating that the City is providing water strictly for landscaping
and no other purpose.
Councilman Anderson mentioned to Mrs. Walton her plans for a caretakers cottage
to be built on this lot as part of her further development should wait until
the moratorium is lifted.
Mr. LeSage stated he would insert the following wording in the covenant to
be signed by Mrs. Walton: "The City of Morro Bay has consented to supply water
to the property located at 206 Main Street for the purpose of watering and
maintaining the landscaping only. Declarants recognize and agree that the
water to be supplied to the property located at 206 Main_ Street is supplied_
strictly for watering of landscaping only, for_no other purpose ,._and_specifically_
not for any building or structure on the property. Declarants further understand
and agree that water for any structure on said property can be obtained only
as available and pursuant to then existing practices of the City of Morro Bay."
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Adjourned Meeting - October 14, 1980

MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Gladys Walton be granted water from
the City and charged a flat rate for this water and sign and agree
to the covenant as amended. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward
and so carried.
C-3 REQUEST TO DELAY ACTION FOR DEL MAR PARK CONSTRUCTION BIDS.
John Bressan stated that the bids received are $92,000 over bid. He would like
Council direction on this. There are two alternatives that can be taken.
(1) Staff can ask the State for additional funds. We would be asking for $100,000
which would give us some leeway. There is a good possibility that this would
get be granted'. However, the City would have to match funds of approximately
$23,000 - $25,000.
(2) Staff could reject all bids on the basis that the bids are too high and the
City does not wish to fund additional expenses. ,Staff can then re -design
the bid specifications and re -bid the project.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that he did not feel comfortable in accepting bids. _
that are 20 percent higher than the original estimate. There was further discussion
on this matter by all present." -
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we reject all bids and authorize staff
to redesign the project and go out to bid again. This was seconded by
Councilwoman Ward and so ordered.
D-5 PLANNING COMMISSION VACANCY.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that there is a current vacancy since the resignation of
Ralph Peters. The position has been posted the required number of days. There
was considerable discussion on all the candidates for this position. All the
candidates are known to the Council and felt that any of them would do a fine
job.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that June Cunningham be appointed to the
Planning Commission for the unexpired term of Ralph Peters. This was
seconded by Councilman Anderson and so carried.
E. INDIVIDUAL ITEMS OF DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 SONIC CABLE TV MATTER.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that representatives of Sonic Cable TV have met with staff.
Sonic plans to raise their rates in Morro Bay from $5.75 to $8.00. We jointly
discussed having a study done by an outside firm and this study has been under-
taken and.it is in progress. Sonic feels they have the right to raise their
rates according to AB699. If the Council is opposed to this, staff suggests
that Council try to stop them in a legal way.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Adjourned Meeting - October 14, 1980
Page Three
Mr. LeSage felt that Sonic did not meet all of the criteria for deregulation.
There are 4000 houses in Morro Bay and virtually all have cable tv. It seems
that if they are not under this AB 699 that we take some step to enjoin them
from this.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that we authorize staff to join with other
cities, if feasible, and if not to report back at the next meeting
with another alternative. This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch
and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
E-2 VALUE ENGINEERING CONTRACT WITH J. M. MONTGOMERY.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that the original dollar amount for the Value Engineering
Contract did not include any estimate for work done by Brown & Caldwell.
Representatives of Brown & Caldwell did attend the meetings where their
expertise was needed and the City had no other option or course of action. The
increased cost to the City will be $5,000. This money does not fall under the
grant funds but we will submit it to the State for approval. This is being
submitted to Council for your information only.
The meeting was adjourned into executive session at 8:20 PM and reconvened at
9:10 PM.
E-3 MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Mr. Guluzzy and staff went over the management contracts with Council item by
item. The management contract, itself, will be put on the October 27 agenda
for Council approval.
E-4 CITY ADMINISTRATOR DISCUSSIONS
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that staff has advertised for a city administrator
in the ICMA newsletter and Jobs Available. October 27, 1980 has been set as the
closing date.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that he had talked to a number of city managers who would be
willing to sit on an oral board for this position. He stated that Council is
faced with either going with an interim city administrator or hiring the
individual you want. The County has an individual who would be willing to act
in an interim position.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if it was possible to find out whaf,kind of arrangements
were made and what the last interim city administrator made, housing agreement,
etc., which Mr. Guluzzy stated would be made available to Council.
An executive session was called at 9:35 PM. The meeting was reconvened at 9:55 PM.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that the meeting be -adjourned. This was
seconded by Councilman Anderson and so carried.

Item A-5. Howard Gaines had a few questions on the expenditure report and asked
for some clarification of these items. All the questions were answered to
Mr. Gaines' satisfaction. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons suggested that the expenditure
report be made available to Mr. Gaines before the meetings. If Mr. Gaines then
had any questions about an individual item, he could then get his answers from
the staff before the meetings and thus negate the necessity of,reviewing this
during the Council meetings.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved for the approval of the Consent Calendar.
This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and so carried.
B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
B-1 STAFF REPORT ON SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY'HOTLINE, INC.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that this is an excellent service provided for the citizens
of Morro Bay for people who are in need or,)have a problem .and" wish to talk to some-
one. He recommended that Council should appropriate the requested amount of
$500 to this program.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if this money couldn't be taken from the Physical
Protecton of People section of the budget and at the end of the fiscal year
this amount could be transferred back into the account if needed. Mr. Guluzzy
stated that it could be handled this way, but staff would come back at the end
of the year for a budget transfer at that time.
MOTIN: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we approve the appropriation of $500
out of the existing Physical Protection of People and Property part
of the budget to Hotline, Inc. This was seconded by Councilwoman
Ward and carried unanimously by roll call .vote.
B-2 ORDINANCE N0: 184; AMENDING PURCHASING ORDINANCE.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that this ordinance would amend the existing purchasing
ordinance. He went over each item and explained the reason behind each proposed
amendment.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons felt that there was a conflict with the last sentence in
subsections j and k. Michael LeSage suggested that the words be delted from
the ordinance so that there is no conflict in meaning.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved to have Ordinance No. 184, as amended., read
by title only. This was seconded -by Councilwoman Deutsch and so
carried.
Mr. Guluzzy read Ordinance No. 184 by title only - "An Ordinance Amending
Ordinance No. 164 Providing for the Purchase of Supplies and Equipment."
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that Ordinance No. 184, as amended, be
approved on first reading. Councilwoman Ward seconded.this and
it was so carried.

C. NEW BUSINESS
C-1 REQUEST BY MORRO BAY FUEL DOCK, INC. FOR EXTENSION OF LEASE SITES 30W-33W.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that Morro Bay Fuel Dock, Inc. has applied for an extension
of their lease for 30-year period. He felt that a shorter time period, such,as
15 years, would be more acceptable.
Mr. LeSage felt that Council should request documentation be submitted on this
request. Mr. Harvey Peterson of the firm stated that documentation is available
for Council's review.
Councilwoman Deutsch asked why they were requesting an extension of the lease
at this time when the lease isn't near the expiration date. Mr. Peterson stated
that the improvements had just been completed and he felt that while the
information was fresh on everyone's mind, it would be a pertinent time to
submit it for Council approval. Mr. LeSage stated that typically these requests
do come in when the leases are expiring, but there is nothing wrong with
submitting the information now.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that staff would look at the records that Mr. Peterson has
on the improvements and report back to Council.
C-2 REQUEST BY ASSOCIATION DIVERS TO SUB -LEA:
TO ASSOCIATED PP
Mr. Guluzzy stated that staff would recommend that Council approve this sub -lease.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Resolution No. 93-80, Approving a
Sub -lease on Lease Sites 52 and 52W to Associated Pacific Constructors,
Incorporated be approved. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and
so carried.
C-4 thru C-8 ORDINANCE NO. 185 - 189.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that these items have been rescheduled to a future meeting
since more work needs to be done before final submission to the Council.
D. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS AND APPEARANCES.
D-1 T-PIER PUBLIC HEARING.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons requested that speakers not restate facts from previous
meetings or what other speakers may have stated.
Mr Guluzzy stated that the City has been reviewing the T-Pier situation for
some time and staff has tried to pull together a summary. There are two major
alternatives - private and public. Mr. Guluzzy went over the two major
alternatives proposed as outlined in Exhibit One of these minutes.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - October 13, 1980
Page Four
Mr. LeSage felt that Council should be aware that there are three leases involved.
(1) The Great American Fish Company - as part of the settlement proposal, they are
offering 39 feet, without which we do not have a chance of recapturing this area.
(2) Lease Sites 109P and 109PW - this is one one side of the dispute. We feel
that the lessees are obligated to rebuild and they feel they are not obligated.
(3) Lease Sites 105.3W - 108W - this area under the proposed plan, which was
approved by the Planning Commission, would be largely utilized by the wharf. He
also went over the key issues and differences between the two proposals -
installation of a public hoist, number of slips available for commercial use,
rates charged for use of this T-Pier and the cost.
Councilman Anderson stated that if we approved the public settlement, the City
would have two hoists available for use. Would there be any restrictions put
on the use of these hoists? Mr. Grenell stated that the hoists are provided
at a reasonable cost to the wharf. The Coastal Conservancy has not taken the
position as to how they will be used.
Mr. Grenell stated that the Coastal Conservancy approved last Thursday a grant
totalling $367,000 for the T-Pier. The recovery of funds will be approximately
$147,000 over a ten-year period. The reason the grant was less than anticipated
was that there would be some cost benefits available such as help from the
Conservancy Corps, etc.
The meeting was now open for public comment. Bruce Risley, Reg Whibley, Jody
Giannini, Ed Ewing, Ray Gallo, Rich Bobbins, Howard Gaines, Cliff Smith, and
Joe Giannini all spoke on this subject and gave their thoughts and view points.
A brief recess was called during the public portion at 9:15 PM and reconvened
at 9:25 PM.
Mayor _Pro-Tem Lemons closed_the_pu6lc_hearing on the T-Pier matter.
Councilman Anderson stated that one of the reasons we live in a small community
is to get away from the bureaucracy of the big cities. He asked if there will
be any strings tied to the city's hands by inviting the Coastal Conservancy
to come in with their proposal? Mr. Guluzzy stated that the City will have
(1) the financial obligations and (2) be tied to an agreement whereby the T-Pier
will be used first for commercial fishing only.
Mr. Grenell of the Coastal Conservancy stated that $367,000 has been set aside
for this project. Should there be any delays due to litigation, etc., the money
will still be allocated to the City if they decide to go with the Coastal
Conservancy plan.
Councilwoman Ward stated that she had an attorney review the lease contract
and finds that all three leases are being lumped together when in fact we should
be dealing with the T-Pier. She felt that at no time was Brebes Fisheries
granted permission to withhold rent.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that Brebes Fisheries be served three days notice
to pay the amount due or we will file suit for unlawful detainer. The
motion died for lack of second.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - October 13, 1980
Page Five
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons felt that the Council should address first and foremost
the issues - whether or not to go with the Hittle or Conservancy proposal.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that the City go public at this time and
accept the Coastal Conservancy Grant for the T-Pier. This was
seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons and carried unanimously by roll
call vote.
C-3 REQUEST TO DELAY ACTION FOR DEL MAR PARK CONSTRUCTION BIDS.
John Bressan asked that this matter be delayed until tomorrow night's meeting
since it would involve quite a length of time. This was agreed to by everyone
present.
D-2 APPEAL BY JOAN LEIFHELM OF THE FLOWER POT - CONTESTING A DECISION BY THE
PI ROO rn PMC Tnm
Mrs. Leifhelm stated that she is contesting a decision by the Planning Commission
to allow her to sell flowers on her own property outside her building. She
stated that this is the.third time she has attempted to obtain a permit for this
use.
Councilwoman Deutsch asked if she planned on having a single cart on private
property and the response was yes.
Murrel Crump, Community Development Director, stated that this was simply a
policy decision of the Planning Commission based on parking requirements. He
felt that if the Council approved her plan, there should be some conditions
relating to the length of time this can occur.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Council approve Mrs..Leifhelm's plan
to have her flower cart on private property for a period of two
months. If at that time the City has not received any complaints,
then Mrs. Leifhelm can request a permit for a longer length of time
provided that the cart is moved at the end of each day. This was
seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons and so carried.
D-3 PUBLIC HEARING ON RED PARKING ZONES AND EXCESSIVE SPEEDING ON MORRO BAY BLVD.
Mr. Guluzzy stated that staff is recommending to the Council that we oppose the
placement of a stop sign on Morro Bay Boulevard and also to return eight parking
spaces in the downtown area from red zones.
Al Schwartz of the Downtown Association felt that senior citizens and young
children crossing the street to school need additional help in crossing Morro
Bay Boulevard. He felt that one of the many problems was speeding, and they would
like to make the downtown area a safer place to shop.
Al Olson, Police Chief, stated that one of the solutions to the speeding problem
will be to provide more radar enforcement on Morro Bay Boulevard, which they will
do as soon as it is returned from the repair shop - probably by the end of
October.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - October 13, 1980

Bruce Risley stated he was on the safety committee that originally took away
some of the parking spaces in the downtown area. He had some suggestions to
offer as a way to slow the traffic down - add additional bumps to warn people
to slow down after you come in from the freeway, have more signs showing the
speed limit, and have wider crosswalk lines. He also felt that.the Police
should issue citations to people who refuse'to stop for pedestrians.
Mr. Bressan went over the history of the problem and his recommendations. He
is recommending that -the City return eight parking spaces for downtown parking
purposes that would still not reduce the sight distance. of 40 feet, which is
required. There is no compromise on the engineering or safety standards. He
had conducted a study of.the_gap time on Morro Bay Boulevard in accordance with
Uniform Traffic, AAA and Cal Trans standards. The average gap time was 13.5
seconds, which would allow pedestrians and traffic to cross Morro Bay Boulevard.
He also went over different alternatives available for proposed stop signs on
Morro Bay Boulevard.
Councilwoman Deutsch asked if Morro Bay would qualify for a safety guard to
help the children cross the street. John Bressan stated that a cross guard
for the children is a viable option, but the kids do not have a set pattern.
However, proper education and establishment of a safe route to school with
reinforcement through the schools would help in this problem.
Chief Olson stated that his department is currently working on this area with the
schools. He felt that the children should be educated on this regularly.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we approve to realign the parking
spaces and do whatever else for the parking allocation in downtown.
This was seconded by -Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that the meeting be adjourned until 7:00
PM tomorrow night in the City Hall Conference Room. This was seconded
by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:20 PM.
Respectfully submitted,

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF T-PIER
ALTERNATIVE•POLICY DECISIONS
RPOSE OF REPORT
I am presenting this report to Council with the intent of providing you with
as many options and alternatives to consider as an aid to assist you in making
a final determination regarding the T-Pier issue presently being considered
by Council.
ALTERNATIVES TO BE CONSIDERED
Five alternatives are possible:
(1) Approval of the proposal made to Council by Ray Gallo and Dr. Hittle.
(2) Approval of a public approach through grants and loans to repair the
T-Pier, build a boardwalk and other public facilities and pursue
litigation to resolve the lease violations.
(3) Pursue litigation to resolve lease violation and, if successful, publicly
bid for competitive business opportunity to reconstruct T-Pier and other
public facilities.
(4) Pursue litigation with present leasee and require him to repair and/or
rebuild T-Pier, either alone or in partnership with City, and jointly
construct slips and other public facilities on a 50-50 share basis.
(5) Pursue none of the above alternative options and close the T-Pier to
the public.
COUNCIL CONSIDERATIONS
Three lease sites, which are separately leased: (1) 111.5W (west of T-Pier)
leased to Great American Fish Co.; (2) 109P and 109PW (T-Pier and water lease
site); (3) 105.3W-108W (east of T-Pier).
(1) 111.5W.is not part of the lease before us.
(2) 109P and 109PW is the major issue before Council. The issue is whether
or not leasee has the responsibility of rebuilding versus repairing the
T-Pier.
Council has before it a number of options and alternatives to consider as
a solution to the T-Pier problem. I am presenting my suggestions of the
issues and the possible implications of pursuing each option, and, to the
extent possible, the costs/benefits of each major alternative.
PRIVATE SETTLEMENT OF T-PIER ISSUE: 109P-109PW
Briefly stated, this proposal is:
y0A
(A) Council approve transfer of this lease to Dr. Hittle.
(B) All back rent due, less $5,000 will be paid to City. Back rent due is
$28,306.37.
(C) New leasee will rebuild T-Pier without wings at estimated cost of
between $150,000 - $200,000.
(D) City would provide leasee with a credit for rebuilding stem of T-Pier
and removal of wings. Maximum amount of credit would be $75,000.
(E) Thirty six (36) boat slips will be constructed with priority given to
commercial fishermen.
(F) A sales office/tackle shop for leasee's sports fishing operation will be
authorized and constructed.
(G) A 138 x 12 (1,656 ft.) fish off-loading wharf will be built'at end {of
T-Pier for fish off-loading (no permanent docking will be allowed).
(H) A fish off-loading hoist will be installed by either leasee or sub-leasee,
but not until and unless the economics and demand for such a facility
prove worthwhile.
(I) Undergrounding of utilities would not be required at present, but leasee
would participate in utility district and pay its pro-rata share if one
formed by City.
(J) New leases will be executed conforming to the existing leases.
PUBLIC SETTLEMENT OF T-PIER ISSUE: 109P AND 109PW
A second option Council has for consideration to resolve T-Pier is to publicly
assume ownership of the T-Pier through a system of loans and grants through
the California State Conservancy. Briefly stated, this option involves:
(A) Rebuilding the T-Pier in the existing configuration. No new permits would
be required. The T-Pier would be available only for commercial fishermen
and pedestrian visitors (public).
(8) Construction of a new 150 foot long wharf south of the T-Pier to provide
additional space for sport fishing and recreational boats (smaller
commercial boats could use space as well, but these spaces would not
be restricted). Staff would also review other potential sites for boating
needs, including off -shore moorings, wharf -side tie-ups as part of
Tidelands Park, and street end development.
(C) Two public hoists are proposed: (1) a large hoist to serve commercial
fishing boats on the T-Pier; and (2) a small public hoist located on the
new wharf.
(D) Construction of a pedestrian boardwalk along the shoreline to connect the
T-Pier with the Embarcadero property.
-3-
(E) Construction of restrooms and showers to serve pier and wharf users and
the public at -large.
(F) Redesigned vehicle parking area.
PHASE II PROPOSAL TO BE DONE LATER WOULD BE:
(G) Undergrounding of utility lines.
(H) Landscaping of areas adjacent to the boardwalk/wharfside area.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF T-PIER
ALTERNATIVE POLICY DECISIONS
PURPOSE OF REPORT
I am presenting this report to Council with the intent of providing you with
as many options and alternatives to consider as an aid to assist you in making
a final determination regarding the T-Pier issue presently being considered
by Council.
ALTERNATIVES TO BE CONSIDERED
Five alternatives are possible:
(1) Approval of the proposal made to Council by Ray Gallo and Dr. Hittle.
(2) Approval of a public approach through grants and loans to repair the
T-Pier, build a boardwalk and other public facilities and pursue
litigation to resolve the lease violations.
(3) Pursue litigation to resolve lease violation and, if successful, publicly
bid for competitive business opportunity to reconstruct T-Pier and other
public facilities.
(4) Pursue litigation with present leasee and require him to repair and/or
rebuild T-Pier, either alone or in partnership with City, and jointly
construct slips and other public facilities on a 50-50 share basis.
(5) Pursue none of the above alternative options and close the T-Pier to
the public.
COUNCIL CONSIDERATIONS
Three lease sites, which are separately leased: (1) 111.5W (west of T-Pier)
leased to Great American Fish Co.; (2) 109P and 109PW (T-Pier and water lease
site); (3) 105.31W-108W (east of T-Pier).
(1) 111.5W is not part of the.lease before us.
(2) 109P and 109PW is the major issue before Council. The issue is whether
or not leasee has the responsibility of rebuilding versus repairing the
T-Pier.
Council has before it a number of options and alternatives to consider as
a solution to the T-Pier problem. I am presenting my suggestions of the
issues and the possible implications of pursuing each option, and, to the
extent possible, the costs/benefits of each major alternative.
PRIVATE SETTLEMENT OF T-PIER ISSUE: 109P-109PW
Briefly stated, this proposal is:
-3-
(E) Construction of restrooms and showers to !erve pier and wharf users and
the public at -large.
(F) Redesigned vehicle parking area.
PHASE II PROPOSAL TO BE DONE LATER WOULD BE:
(G) Undergrounding of utility lines.
(H) Landscaping of areas adjacent to the boardwalk/wharfside area.

A. NEW BUSINESS
A-1 CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT TO PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION.
Ann McKibbin stated that only one application had been received - Jesse Gaoiran -
to fill the unexpired term of James Goldsburo (term expires 6/30/82)
Councilman Anderson expressed concern that these appointments were being considered
at a Special Meeting rather than at the next regularly scheduled meeting as
mentioned at the last Council meeting. He felt this could result in public
disapproval if done at this meeting.
Councilwoman Ward said she had suggested the candidates be represented at this
meeting in case the Council had any questions-that.needed'to,be.answered. Mayor
Pro=Tem Lemons felt this wasn't necessary, and, therefore was opposed to this idea
since the applicants are known to all concerned and as it is a voluntary position.
As there was only one applicant for the Parks and Recreation Commission, and as
it was decided by everyone present to fill this position....
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Jesse Gaoiran be nominated to the
Parks and Recreation Commission to serve the unexpired term of
James Goldsburo, which expires 6/30/82. This was seconded by
Councilwoman Deutsch and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
A-2 CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
Councilman Anderson reiterated his opinion that this position should not be
filled at this special meeting and done at the next regularly scheduled meeting
as announced at the last City Council meeting. This would allow the public to
have input into the decision.
Councilwoman Deutsch stated that the Council is charged with .the task of
running the City, and there are so many items to handle and so little time.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Special Meeting - October 3, 1980

She felt, therefore, that this matter could be dealt with at this meeting.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that we wait until the next regularly
scheduled City Council meeting to name a replacement to the Planning
Commission. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and carried
unanimously on a roll call vote.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the meeting be adjourned. This
was seconded by Councilman Anderson and so carried.

A. CONSENT CALENDAR
A-1 MORRO BAY DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION REQUEST FOR USE PERMIT TO CONDUCT A SIDEWALK
SALE ON OCTOBER 2-4, 1980.
Al Schwartz of the Morro Bay Downtown Association stated that this would be
conducted according to the rules set down for all the past sidewalk sales --
no sales being transacted on the sidewalk, displays will be inside the perimeter
of the stores, hours will be from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM for the three days requested.
There will be adequate room for pedestrians to walk.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we authorize the Morro Bay Downtown
Association to conduct a sidewalk sale on October 2-4, 1980. Council-
woman Ward seconded this motion and it was passed unanimously.
A-2 REQUEST TO DISPLAY BANNER FOR SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLY OF BAHA'IS CONVENTION TO
BE HELD ON OCTOBER 5, 1980.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that the record should show that Mayor Dorn had
arrived and would now chair the meeting.
Acting City Administrator Ann McKibbin said that the City had received a
request from the Spiritual Assembly of Baha'is to put a banner up across Morro
Bay Blvd. stating "Welcome to Morro Bay, Baha'is Convention." The sign would
be put up on October 4, 1980 and would be removed on the evening of October 5.
This is a one day convention only.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons was reluctant to grant a use permit for this without any
insurance and felt that this should be required. He also questioned if this
created any problems between church and state.. Ann McKibbin stated that Mike
LeSage, City Attorney, had reviewed the request and to the extent that they comply
with the City sign requirements, Council may approve the request. Ms. McKibbin
will check with Mr. LeSage about a possible church -state conflict.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that we grant a use permit to the Spiritual
Assembly of Baha'is subject to compliance with the usual conditions
required on a use permit and satisfy the appropriate insurance
requirements. This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried
unanimously.

B-1 RESOLUTION NO. 85-80, ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR QUALIFYING A VESSEL AS
A COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSEL.
Don Guluzzy stated that this resolution outlined the actual proof needed to
ascertain that a vessel actually fished for 60 days. This would give staff
directionof,what is expected as actual proof. Items accepted as proof are
as follows:
(1) By fuel receipts clearly indicating the date of purchase and the
owner's name and/or vessel's name and/or registration number of
the vessel.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 22, 1980
Page Two
(2) By presenting Fish and Game tickets for the sale of fish which will
be credited on the basis of one ticket for every two days fishing
credit.
(3) A copy of an official float plan filed with the Morro Bay Police Dept
Morro Bay Harbor Dept., U.S. Coast Guard, or any official agency of
another west coast port. Credit shall be given for the actual
number of days filed on the float plan. The float plan must be
cancelled with the Harbor Dept. or the Coast Guard upon return of
the vessel to Morro Bay for the float plan to be considered valid.
(4) Any combination of the above proof -of -fishing statements provided
there is sufficient proof of separate incidents.
Clifford Smith stated that the Harbor Advisory Board did not approve this
resolution prior to its submission before the City Council. He did not agree
with Item (2) whereby two days of fish tickets were required for each day of
credit toward the 60 days requirement.
John Bressan was asked to explain the concept of the float plan, which he
did.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that Resolution No. 85-80 be read by title
only. This was seconded by Councilman Anderson and so carried.
Don Guluzzy read Resolution No. 85-80 by title only - "Resolution Establishing
Qualifying Time and Procedure for Vessels Currently Berthed in City Docks to

MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that Resolution No. 85-80 be approved. This
was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and so carried.
B-2 RESOLUTION NO. 86-80; ESTABLISHING CITY DOCK SPACE WAITING LIST.

B-3 ORDINANCE NO. 182, AMENDING THE MORRO BAY MUNICIPAL CODE BY DELETING

estate offices in tracts; (2) Christmas tree sales; and (3) temporary refrigera-
tion.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 22, 1980

Howard Gaines asked what.a PD zone was for Christmas trees. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons
explained that this meant "planned development" and went into detail on this.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Ordinance No. 182 be read by title
only. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
Don Guluzzy read Ordinance No. 182 by title only - "An Ordinance Adding Section
17.48.260 to the Morro Bay Municipal Code."
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Ordinance No. 182 be approved on
second reading. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so
carried on a roll call vote.
B-4 RESOLUTION NO. 78-80, ESTABLISHING A PARK NAMING POLICY.
Don Guluzzy stated that the purpose of this resolution is to have written policies
and procedures for naming a park. The City currently does not have such a
policy and it might be good to spell out a procedure when naming a park.
Cathline McWilliams objected to Item No. 3 under the area where parks can be
named after persons who have been deceased for more than two years and the
City Council believes the person's contribution to the aspect of the City was
of such a value to the City that the person's memory should be honored by the
naming of the facility.
Bill Morley, member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, stated that this
portion of the resolution was included since they did not feel this type of
decision should be made.in a rush and simply out of sentimental reasons, which
might be a mistake. The Commission had felt that waiting the two years was
essential.
Mary Sanders stated that this policy was specifically designed to give guidelines
in naming new parks in Morro Bay as requested by Council. Before a park is
named, it will go through the Parks and Recreation Commission, the City
Council, and a public hearing.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Resolution No. 88-80 be read by
title only. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
Don Guluzzy read Resolution No. 88-80 by title only - "A Resolution Adopting
A Park Naming Policy."
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that Resolution No. 88-80 be approved. This
was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and so carried on a majority
vote - Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons voted no.
C. NEW BUSINESS
C-1 ORDINANCE NO. 184, AMENDING PURCHASING ORDINANCE.
Don Guluzzy stated that this ordinance would (1) authorize staff to be able to
negotiate for the purchase and/or provision of supplies, equipment, etc. if we
go out to bid twice and people do not meet the specifications. (2) This would
authorize staff to go through lease/purchase with Council approval after we
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 22, 1980
Page Four
receive written quotation for any items above $5,000 without going through
the formal bidding process. This will give staff flexibility and better
ability to purchase items and goods and services that are not public works
projects and provide.the City with the most cost effective means of obtaining
these services.
Mike LeSage stated that Section (h) of this Ordinance was in the government
code and should be in the City's municipal codes.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons was concerned that without some type of comparison, we
would not know that we are obtaining the best bid. Don Guluzzy stated that
we should probably be more specific in this area of the ordinance and suggested
that this portion of the ordinance be re -written and brought back to the Council
again at the next meeting, which was agreed to by all Council members present.
D. PUBLIC HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
D-1 8:00 P.M., BETTY HILL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF "HOT LINE" WILL MAKE A
PRESENTATION. -
Mrs. Betty Hill stated that in the last year Hotline handled 390 calls from
Morro Bay and possibly another 50 calls from Morro Bay of individuals who did
not identify themselves. All of the calls may not -have ,been a crisis situation,
but they were serious in nature. Examples of calls are rape victims, abused
children/wives, suicides, indiscriminate use of fire arms, alcohol abuse,
drug abuse, runaways, pregnant teenagers, etc. In 1979 they received a total
of 8,000 telephone calls. They have 50-60 volunteers and two phones which
are manned on a 24-hour basis. They do receive revenue sharing funds and
other money received from cities. They would like to request $500 from Morro
Bay for this fiscal year.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked staff to prepare a report summarizing this and
present it to Council at the next meeting.
D-2 8:15 PM, PRESENTATION TO CITY OF "JAWS OF LIFE" EQUIPMENT BY LIONS CLUB.
Bernie Zerr, Fire Chief, thanked all the members of the Lion's Club and the
community for their help in raising the money for the "Jaws of Life" equipment.
This equipment will certainly save lives in the future.
Al Swartz of the Lions Club presented the equipment "Jaws of Life" to the
City Council. In April, 1979, the Lion's Club became aware of a need for
this equipment and undertook the project. The community itself raised $6,649
for the purchase of this tool. A lot of organizations were involved to make
this project come true and Mr. Schwartz read the names of these organizations.
Bernie Zerr asked all members of the Lion's Club that were present at the
meeting to come forward for presentation of a plaque appreciation for uniting
the community in a fund raising project.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 22, 1980
Page Five
A five minute, recess was called at 8:20 PM to give Bernie Zerr an opportunity
to remove the "Jaws of Life" equipment so it could be available for use. The
meeting was reconvened at 8:30 PM.
D-3 8:30 PM, FINICKY FISH MARKET REQUEST FOR A REDUCTION IN GROSS PERCENTAGE
OF SALES PAID TO. THE CITY REQUIRED BY LEASE AGREEMENT FOR CITY LEASE SITE
NO. 128.
Don Guluzzy read two letters from Mike LeSage on -this matter dated September 9
and September 15.
Warren Sinsheimer, attorney representing the de Garimore's, stated that the
rent has not been paid for the first half of 1980. Correspondence in this
matter began in January requesting the City's attention in this matter. The
current City lease requires payment of five percent of the gross sales. This
puts the de Garimore's in a non-competitive situation, and they would like
this to be amended. The figures for last year are available and it was
suggested that a committee of Council or staff meet with the de Garimore's
to work out an alternative.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons requested staff to summarize the significant issues for
the Council's review and report back to the Council at the October 27, 1980
meeting.
Mr. de Garimore was concerned that the Council had not been informed of this
matter earlier since correspondence has been on -going since January of this
year.
Councilwoman Deutsch stated that it appeared several leases were in non-conformance
or needed to be reviewed. Don Guluzzy stated that staff is trying to review
the leases at this time. Councilwoman Deutsch felt that it may be wise to
bring someone in to do nothing but review the leases and bring them up-to-date.
D-4 CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT ON T-PIER OPTIONS.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that this is not a hearing, it is an informational
report. After Mr. Guluzzy has presented his report, it would be appropriate
to ask questions on the report, but not to state positions.
Don Guluzzy stated that he and John Bressan had met with Peter Grenell and
Bob Joseph of the State Coastal Conservancy to discuss how they might
help and participate in restoring the T-Pier. They have put together a
concept under the Urban Waterfront Restoration Plan they have submitted to
their Board for approval on October 9. Unless the Conservancy is seriously
interested in this matter, we should not make a decision until that time.
When they do approve this proposed plan, we would like to come back to Council
for a decision -to have the T-Pier either privately funded or city -owned. Please
see Exhibit A for the Coastal Conservancy Staff Report.
Joe Giannini stated that he was impressed with the Coastal Conservancy's
urgency.for the project in the harbor. It was his understanding that the money
for this project is available and they are awaiting the Council's decision, and
a decision could be made at this meeting.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 22, 1980
Page Six
Don Guluzzy stressed that the Coastal Conservancy's staff report is being
presented to their Board on October 9 and they will either award the funds
at that time or disapprove it. He felt that this matter should be set for
public hearing on October 13, 1980 - after the October 9 Board Meeting of
the State Coastal Commission.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that the matter will be set for public hearing
on October 13. If there is some reason why the matter cannot be heard at
that time, then it can be cancelled.
Mr. Hurlbert of Oakland stated that the T-Pier had been closed and there were
at least 50 boats tied to the T-Pier at this moment. He suggested that some
action be taken so that the crew members of these boats can go to and from
their boats, bring groceries aboard and/or make repairs to their boat.
Mike LeSage stated that we could use a hold harmless agreement. However,
city staff have informed him that the Pier has deteriorated and it is extremely
dangerous to use. If someone is injured on this Pier, then the City can be
in serious trouble.
John Bressan stated that if someone is familiar with the Pier, it is not as
dangerous. However, if the general public goes out.on the Pier, it is
dangerous. If we had a hold harmless clause or statement signed, then we have
to open the gates. We will also have to enforce this.
Jody Giannini suggested that a lock be put on the gate with keys passed out
to.the individual fishermen to allow them access to their boats. He stated
that he would supply the lock and keys. Since there was also a concern about
the safety of the pier itself, he offer to supply the plywood to cover the
parts of the pier that were unsafe. Mike LeSage stated that this is a good
suggestion and one that would be workable. This would keep the public off
the pier and allow the fisherman access with a key, and have a hold harmless
clause on file.
Ray Gallo was concerned that this method of the lock and keys would not work.
In past situations, he found that fishermen sometimes forget to lock the gate
and the general public are then allowed,toD enter. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons
stated that either the Harbor Patrol or Police Department could patrol this
area for the next week or so.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that for the immediate two weeks until
the next Council Meeting, we designate a path for safe walking on
the T-Pier, provide keys to the fishermen provided they sign a hold
harmless clause agreement, prevent vehicular use and then proceed
to investigate the extent of plywood that needs to be put down and
the amount of chain link fencing that would have to be installed over
the long term and come back to the Council with a report in two weeks.
Councilman Anderson seconded this motion and it was carried unanimously.

E. INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 SONIC CABLE TV RATE STUDY.
Don Guluzzy presented an agreement to Council for authorization of a maximum
of $1,020 for a joint rate analysis study on Sonic Cable TV with the other SLO
County cities. This amount is less than the original $1200 estimated originally
and it would be to our advantage to approve it.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Council authorize the City Administrator
to sign for the City of Morro Bay to proceed with the contract on a
cable TV rate study not to exceed $1,020, which has already been
previously approved up to a maximum of $1200. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons
seconded this motion and it was carried unanimously by a roll call
vote.
E-2 SENIORS ADDITION TO THE SENIOR CENTER
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons stated that a volunteer labor project would like to add
approximately 450 square feet to the Senior Citizens Center. He suggested that
the City allocate money to the Senior Citizens so they can buy materials and
insurance for this project.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the City Council enter into an agree-
ment with the Board of Directors for the Seniors to appropriate $4750
to them to buy only materials and for the necessary liability insurance
policy that they will need to cover the volunteer workers. Council-
woman Ward seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously by a
roll call vote.
E-3 UNSECURED PROPERTY TAX.
Don Guluzzy stated that as a result of the recent Court decision on the 1978-79
Unsecured Roll, Morro Bay may receive the preliminary figure of $15,428. The
case has been appealed so funds will not be released until after the appeal
deadline has passed.
E-4 EIR DECISION ON THE SIX SLIPS.
Don Guluzzy stated that the Planning Commission has rejected the old EIR that
existed on the six slips that were funded in the 1980-81 budget. According to
Michael LeSage, the Council has the right to either determine that the existing
EIR is adequate or inadequate. There was a general discussion on this matter.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we accept the existing EIR and submit
it to the Coastal Commission and let them decide whether or not a
new EIR is required. Councilwoman Ward seconded this motion and it
was so carried.

E-5 TEMPORARY USE PERMIT
Don Guluzzy stated that High Valley Investments dba All Seasons Fish were
requesting a temporary use permit to load pipe onto a barge from his portion
of the wharf. The pipe will be used for the Sewer Outfall for Pismo Beach
and Arroyo Grande. If the cities cannot obtain the pipe from Morro Bay, they
will be forced to get the pipe from the Los Angeles area at a much higher cost.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we grant a temporary use permit to
All Seasons Fish and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk.to sign
this permit. Councilman Anderson seconded the motion and it was
carried by a unanimous vote.
E-6 RESIGNATION OF CITY ADMINISTRATOR
Don Guluzzy stated that he has accepted the City Manager's position with the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes. October 27.will be his last week. Mr. Guluzzy
stated that his decision was not due to any pressure put on him to resign from
the present City Council. This is simply a golden opportunity for him. He
also offered to help pre-screen applicants with Council in determining his
successor.
Councilwoman Deutsch asked Mr. Guluzzy if he still planned to attend the ICMA
Conference. She felt strongly that the City of Morro Bay should not have to
pay for the trip and convention since the City won't receive any of the benefits
for this learning process. She also felt this time could be used to train and
acquaint a successor to his job. Mr. Guluzzy stated that he would be attending
the ICMA Conference as it was in his contract, and that he had earned the
right to attend the meeting as a professional.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the meeting be adjourned to October 7
at 5:00 PM in City Hall to discuss the management contracts. Council-
woman Ward seconded this motion and it was so carried.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:35 PM.

Councilwoman Ward seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.
B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
B-1 ORDINANCE NO. 179, REDEFINING VESSELS OF A COMMERCIAL NATURE. (Second
reading)
This ordinance will require commercial vessels to have either grossed a minimum
of $5,000 during a calendar year or that the vessel had fished at least 60 days
during the calendar year.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 8, 1980
Page Two
Clifford Smith, Chairman of the Harbor Advisory Board, was concerned about the
administration of the ordinance as written. There is no established criteria
for proof of the 60 days of fishing. He felt this took "the teeth" out of the
ordinance and what.it was intended to accomplish.
Councilman Anderson felt that the way the ordinance now reads would not stand
up in a court of law if we were challenged on it. He asked the other members
of the Council to reconsider this and perhaps use the original wording in the
ordinance, which stated had "sold fish for 60 days."
Mayor Dorn and Councilwoman ward felt that the burden of proof would be on the
fishermen as to whether or not they had fished for 60 days.
Mike LeSage said that it would be diffiult to dispute that a fisherman hadn't
fished for 60 days without any criteria at all.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that we accept the $5,000 as the minimum
gross income or that the vessel has sold fish for 60 days during a
calendar year. This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch. On a
roll call vote, this motion did not pass (Anderson - no; Deutsch -
no; Dorn - no; Lemons - no; Ward - yes).
Mayor Dorn felt that as long as the docks were being used, that was the purpose
of the ordinance - to eliminate the deadwood. He felt we should at least try
something to see if it would work.
Don Guluzzy and Mike LeSage suggested a list of criteria be included in the
resolution that will accompany the ordinance and explain the implementation
process. At least a resolution adopting regulations is more flexible.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Ordinance No. 179 be read by title
only. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and passed unanimously.
Don Guluzzy read Ordinance No. 179 by title only - "An Ordinance Amending
Chapter 15.04.150 of the Morro Bay Munciipal Code Redefining Vessels of a
Commercial Nature."
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved for the adoption on second reading of
Ordinance No. 179. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn. The roll call
vote was Anderson - no; Deutsch - yes; Dorn - yes; Lemons - yes;
Ward - no. Since there was a majority vote, the motion was passed.
B-2 ORDINANCE NO.-180, ESTABLISHING A CITY DOCKAGE WAITING LIST. (Second
reading)
This ordinance being considered for adoption on second reading would establish
an official dockage waiting list and require a $250 non-refundable deposit and
states that no vessel shall occupy a slip when said vessel's length is 20
percent less than the length of the slip unless no other vessels meeting the
requirements of this paragraph remain on the waiting list.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 8, 1980

MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Ordinance No. 180 be read by title
only. This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried unanimously.
Don Guluzzy read Ordinance No. 180 by title only - "An Ordinance Amending
Chapter 15.32 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code to Add A New Section 15.32.020
Establishing A City Dockage Waiting List and Requirements Therefore."
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that we adopt on second reading Ordinance
No. 180. Mayor Dorn seconded this and it was passed unanimously on
roll call vote.
B-3 ORDINANCE NO. 182, AMENDING SECTION 17.48.270 OF THE MORRO BAY MUNICIPAL
CODE ON TEMPORARY USE PERMITS. (First reading)
Don Guluzzy stated that this ordinance would allow the Community Development
Director to administer temporary use permits.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons said he did not agree with Section 3 of this proposed
Ordinance and felt it should be withdrawn from the consideration since this is
such a broad area.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that ordinance No. 182 be amended to
exclude Section 3 and that this constitutes the first reading.
Mayor Dorn seconded this motion and it was passed unanimously on
a roll call vote.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Ordinance No. 182 as amended be read
by title only. This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried
unanimously on a roll call vote.
Don Guluzzy read Ordinance No. 182 as amended by title only - "An Ordinance
Adding Section 17,.48.270 to the Morro Bay Municipal Code."
C. NEW BUSINESS
C-1 RESOLUTION NO. 80-80, ESTABLISHING PARTICIPATION IN A DEFERRED COMPENSATION
PLAN.
Don Guluzzy stated that this resolution would authorize any employees to
participate in the International City Management Association Retirement Corpor-
ation Deferred Compensation Program. This program is the least costly of any
in the country, it is very portable and mobile, and meets all the federal
guidelines under the 1978 Revenue Act and Section 457 of the Internal Revenue
Code. The only cost to the City would be for deductions to be made at payroll
time for participation in the program.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if the City were to keep a record of the contributions
each employee makes and furnish a statement to the employee. Don Guluzzy stated
that the Deferred Compensation Fund keeps the record and sends out statements
to the employee as to the current amount in their account.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 8, 1980
Page Four
Mike LeSage stated that this is a nationwide plan and it is administered
professionally. The City would not be liable for any loss of funds deferred
to this fund.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved for approval of Resolution No. 80-80,
Estabishing A Deferred Compensation Program. Mayor Dorn seconded
this motion and it was passed unanimously.
C-2 RESOLUTION NO. 81-80, AUTHORIZING CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO ENTER INTO PERSONAL
SERVICES CONTRACT WITH MANAGERIAL PERSONNEL.
Don Guluzzy went over this agreement with the Council members. This agreement would
(1) secure and obtain the services of employees and provide inducement for the
employee to remain in such employment;. (2) to make possible full work
productivity by assuring employee's morale and peace of mind with respect.to
future security; (3) provide a just means for terminating employee's services
at such time as he/she may be unable to fully discharge his/her duties due to
age or disability or when City may desire to otherwiseterminate his/her employ.
These contracts would be for two year terms.
There was a question concerning the insurance when an employee is operating their
own vehicle on City business. Mike LeSage stated he would look into the
liability involved and report back to .the Council.
There was considerable discussion on this item and it was suggested that a
workshop meeting be scheduled to discuss this in detail.. ,September 16,at
5:00 p.m. was scheduled as the time for a workshop meeting on this matter.
C-3 ORDINANCE NO. 184, AMENDING PURCHASING ORDINANCE. (First reading)
Don Guluzzy stated that this matter has been rescheduled to the September 22
meeting to allow he and Mike LeSage to review this proposed ordinance.
C-4 RESOLUTION NO. 82-80, AMENDMENT OF BROWN AND CALDWELL CONTRACT.
Lynn Hartford of Brown and Caldwell stated that they had submitted to the City
a request to increase the amount of compensation for the preliminary water
management plan that was completed and submitted in June. Increases to date
have totalled $18,700, which include salary increases, additional items that
were out of their work scope, and additional effort for the work that was
planned to be done. Part of this amount is for additional work items -
$7,100. Some of this cost would be grant eligible. It was their recommendation
to apply for a decision on funding on all of these increased costs to see what
the State Board would do in regard to funding the increase. The amendment
increases the scope of our work,I creases the compensation terms of the cost
for the additional efforts. They would not request a profit --they are only asking
that their costs be reimbursed for these additional efforts. The $7,100 is
for the total maximum build -out population for the City.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 8, 1980
Page Five
Don Guluzzy stated that the money, if the City had to pay for this, would
be charged to the Wastewater Treatment Plant budget, and the Water Management
Plan under the capital budget. The state required that we do this Water
Management Plan before we could obtain the Step III Grant Funding.
Lynn Hartford said they recognized at the end of May that they were over budget.
They took it upon themselves to complete the work 'because they felt the City
needed the completed copy in.draft form.
There was some discussion on the sub -contractor that Brown and Caldwell hired
and the sub -contractor's inability to keep the time schedule agreed upon, which
forced Brown and Caldwell to complete some of the tasks to keep the project on
schedule.
Mike LeSage.stated that the Council can approve the following amounts: $6,000
to complete the study, $3,000 for extra meetings requested by the Council, and
$1,000 that the contract authorizes for salary increases. The total the
Council can authorize is $10,000. Mike LeSage further stated that the strict
contract terms say that Brown and Caldwell must come in advance of any budget
overruns for Council approval.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Council approve the payment of the
amount to the contract to pay for the salary increases ($1,000),
the extra meetings requested by Council ($3,000), and the work
necessary to complete the report ($6,000), and that we delete Task 15
which is the $7,100 item for the build -out study, and that we submit
the other cost increases to EPA with a request that they be funded.
Mayor Dorn seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously by
roll call vote.
Lynn Hartford said he would assist the City staff in writing a letter to the
State.
Tom Sheahan of Brown and Caldwell stated that the VRM proposal is 40 percent
complete and should be in final form by October 3, 1980.
D. PUBLIC HEARINGS, APPEARANCES & REPORTS
D-1 8:00 P.M., DOWNTOWN MERCHANTS REQUEST FOR PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING
PARKING AND EXCESS SPEEDING ON MORRO BAY BLVD.
Don Guluzzy stated that Staff had received a request from the Downtown Merchants
to hold a public hearing on the parking situation and excess speeding on
Morro Bay Blvd. Staff would recommend holding a public hearing but request
that staff have a chance to review the matter and report back to the Council
with our findings.
Several individuals from the community gave their views on why they felt a
public hearing should be held on this matter - parking is a problem for local
businesses, motorists fail to yield the right-of-way, inability of pedestrians
to cross the stree, and school children must cross this street to attend classes.
MINUTES-.MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 8, 1980
Page Six
A representative of the Downtown Merchants Association submitted petitions
that have been signed by concerned individuals regarding this problem. The
petition was read into the record - "Due to the need for revitalization in
the downtown area and adverse consumer reaction to the red parking zones, we
the undersigned citizens.... Request that the parking spaces now painted red
in the downtown area be returned to the public for their expedience. We feel
that one year has been sufficient time to test this concept!!!!"
Betty Floercky from the Chamber of Commerce felt that the red parking spaces
may be advisable from a safety standpoint; however, the Board of Directors
felt there was no uniform application in placing these red zones and felt
all areas should be done in -the same concise manner.
Al Schwartz felt there are two major problems in -the downtown area. (1) The
past Council...removed 14-16 parking spaces with the intention of increasing
visibility. (2) There is unsafe crossing for senior,.citizens and school
children and stressed that the crucial area is.Napa and Morro Bay Blvd.
He suggested that a stop sign be placed there to control traffic flow and
cut down on excessive speeding. He submitted information he had received
from Cal Trans regarding crosswalks and traffic signals.
John Bressan briefly went over the standards used to determine the length of
the'red parking zones. Al Olson mentioned that as soon as the radar equipment
was returned from repair, they would locate a car on Morro Bay Boulevard to
alleviate the speeding problem.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked staff when they would have a report completed on
.this subject. Don Guluzzy suggested that the matter should be set for the
first meeting in October.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that a public hearing be scheduled for
October 13, 1980 on the red parking zones and excessive speeding
on Morro Bay Boulevard. Councilwoman Deutsch seconded this motion
and it was carried unanimously by all present.
D-2 8:30 P.M., DORN'S RESTAURANT VS. HARTSELL LOG CABIN
Mayor Dorn and Rodger Anderson excused themselves from this portion of the
meeting due to personal interests on this matter.
Mike LeSage stated that Dorn's Restaurant had applied for the required permits
on the location of..the garbage containers. This.matter will be heard before
the Planning,Commission. The other minor building violations have been.
corrected.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if the Council was required to make any decisions
tonight since the matter will be heard before the Planning Commission. Mike
LeSage stated that the matter should be.heard first before the Planning
Commission and no decision should be made tonight by the Council. Mike also
stated that we did have a letter from Dr. Mitchell of the Health Department
stating that there are no code violations.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September 8, 1980

Mike Krout, attorney for the Hartsell's, said that this matter has been going
on -since June, 1979 and felt the purpose of this meeting was to decide whether
the City was going to consider an abatement hearing on.the use and location
of the dumpsters. Mr. Krout stated that the continued delays by Dorn, the
noise, odor and lack of cooperation would suggest an abatement hearing. He
also felt that a health code violation does occur.
Mike LeSage stated that the problem has existed since April, 1977. In reference
to Mr. Krout's claim of a health code violation, in a letter received from
Dr. Mitchell on December 13, 1979, it clearly states there is no health code
violation. on the abatement issue, Mike asked what this action would accomplish.
The courts would let the Planning Commission make the decision. He suggested
that Dan Dorn apply for the required permits, which he has done, and be heard
before the Planning Commission.
Iry Peterson, attorney for Dan Dorn, said he did not come prepared to present
testimony at this time since it was not going to be a hearing as all the required
forms had been submitted. He felt things should go through the proper channels.
Eugene Shelton spoke on this matter and felt that an abatement hearing should
be held on this matter since the Hartsell's have requested for some time that
the ordinances be upheld.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this matter be delayed until the
Planning Commission has heard the Dorn application and give Council
direction on how we should proceed. Councilwoman Ward seconded this
motion and it was passed unanimously on a roll call vote.
E. INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 Don Guluzzy stated that Bill George had inspected the.T-Pier, which is in
very bad repair. The City would be held liable for any'accidents if they,
occur. Based on this inspection, the T=Pier has been closed under the Health
Safety Clause and it will be fenced off. _
E-2 Murrel Crump has been appointed to the position of community development
director and will be starting his new job on October 6.
E-3 Don Guluzzy stated that finance director applications will close on
September 25. We have asked the County if there is anyone available under
the Executive Loan Program to aid us until such time as a permanent finance
director can be named. Bill Pierotti from the County has agreed to help us
until a permanent finance director isi.on-board. If this presents no problems
with the Council, we will have Mr. Pierotti begin on September 15. This will
allow us to have more continuity in our office.
E-4 Don Guluzzy stated that the bid specifications for the community promotion
program have been submitted -to -the -Council -for -.review...- If there are no — —
roblems or objections to this we will p 3 proceed.

E-5 Don Guluzzy went over an update of bills that have passed the House in
the last rush as outlined by the League of California Cities bulletin.

for using the pipeline for toxic waste materials.
E-8 The Recreation Commission would like financial help on buying a tree and
plaque for dedication to Del Payne. Ceremonies will be held on September 26
and thecost would not exceed $125.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we allocate funds for the purchase
of a tree and plaque in the memory of Del Payne. The total amount
is not to exceed $125. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and carried
unanimously.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that we adjourn the meeting to an executive
session. This was seconded by Councilwoman ward and so carried.

Item A-3. Howard Gaines had a question on Vouchers 44954 and 5479,
which were on the Beach Street Bluff Stabilization Program. Don
Guluzzy, John Bressan and Tom McGonagill all gave a brief summary
on these vouchers. The work on this project is 90% complete and
90% of the performance bond required was returned to the contractor.
It is not certain if more crib work may be needed on this project
which is why it has been delayed slightly.
Mr. Gaines also requested information on Special Legal Services
for Michael LeSage, which Mike LeSage explained.
Item A-5. Howard Gaines objected to this resolution since he felt
it was partisan and the Council was elected to represent all of

and hoped that the City Council would be courteous enough to
honor him with this resolution.

Calendar. Councilwoman Ward seconded the motion and it

B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
B-1 ORDINANCE NO. 179, WHICH REDEFINES "VESSELS OF A COMMERCIAL
NATURE." First reading._
Don Guluzzy stated that this ordinance would define a commercial
vessel as grossing $5,000 or sold fish.for at least 60 days of
the calendar year. The Harbor Advisory Board has approved this.
Clifford Smith said this is the most lenient definition of any
harbor in California. He gave examples of what other harbors are
doing.
L. Shutner disagreed with the 60 days sold fish since you don't
always get fish tickets every time you go out.
John Bressan went over the resolutions that would be introduced
when this ordinance is passed, which would give all commercial
fishermen a year to meet these qualifications before any implementa-
tion.
There was considerable discussion on this from the public.
Mayor Dorn asked staff if the slips passed by the Council would
be built'this'year. John Bressan said there are six slips budgeted
and they now hoave to pass the Coastal Commission and obtain the
required permits. We may not be able to have these built this

year. Mayor Dorn did not like the idea of vessels working but
unable to make the 60 days sold fish requirement without a slip.
Councilman Anderson mentioned that this ordinance was an attempt
to draw a compromise between boats actually working and not
producing a great income. Obviously, $5,000 combined with the
expense is a very lenient bottom line. with maintenance, boat
repairs, painting, and fuel expenses, if they aren't making the
$5,000 limit, they are in a serious predicament.
Bea Martin asked how many commercial boats are in Morro Bay and
the number of slips available. Clifford Smith said that the
number of commercial licenses is 186 and 50% of these would probably
fall within this working definition.
There was great discussion on an alternate way of verifying how
many days a vessel has been out working. Some of the suggestions
were fuel receipts, a log kept with the harbor master, etc. There
was also discussion on an appeal process - if it was to go before
the Harbor Advisory Board or the City Council.
Michael LeSage stated that the following could be written into the
ordinance which would give an appeal process and instill some
flexibility into the ordinance.
"On showing of good cause and on presentation of good evidence of
commercial use, the Harbor Advisory Commission may allow departures
from this standard if it deems that applicant is a commercial
fisherman. The City Council from time to time may establish
standards on this use."
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if the wording in the ordinance were
to change the words "sold fish" to "fished" would help? Michael
LeSage stated that this would give the ordinance more flexibility
and you can then define what "fishing" means --fuel tickets, fish
tickets, etc.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Ordinance No. 179 be
adopted on first reading with the words "sold fish"
struck out and replaced with the word "fished."
Councilwoman Deutsch seconded this motion. On roll call
vote, Councilman Anderson objected to this but it was
carried on a majority vote.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Ordinance No. 179 be
read as amended by title only. Mayor Dorn seconded
this motion and it was carried unanimously by roll call
vote.
Don Guluzzy read Ordinance No. 179 by title only - An Ordinance

BOAT SLIP WAITING LIST. First reading.
Don Guluzzy summarized this ordinance. This is a re -draft from
a previous ordinance and states that an official waiting list for
slip spaces will require a non-refundable deposit of $250, which
deposit shall apply toward a portion of the first six months
rent on the dock space.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved that Ordinance No. 180 be read by
title only. This was agreed unanimously by all Council
members present and so ordered.
Don Guluzzy read Ordinance No. 180 by title only - An Ordinance
Amending Chapter 15.32 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code to Add
A New Section 15.32.020 Establishing A City Dockage Waiting List
and Requirements Therefor.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we accept on first reading
Ordinance No. 180. Councilwoman Ward seconded this motion
and it was carried unanimously on roll call vote.
B-3 ORDINANCE NO. 182, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MORRO BAY
MUNICIPAL CODE BY DELETING EXISTING SECTION 17.48.260 AND
ADDING A NEW SECTION 17.48.260 REGARDING TEMPORARY USES.
First reading.
Don Guluzzy stated that this item had been pulled from the agenda
and rescheduled for a future meeting at the request of the
Planning Department.
C. NEW BUSINESS
C-1 COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS.
Don Guluzzy stated there are a number of positions on the various
boards and/or committees that the Council needs to appoint. They
have all been posted the required number of days in compliance
with the Maddy Act. There are two positions on the Parks and
Recreation Commission that Council filled on an interim basis:
Lila Keiser and Robert Meyers. Al Paul had submitted his resigna-
ton, which the Council had not accepted, and his appointment
needs to be reaffirmed on the Planning Commission.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved to appoint Lila Keiser and Robert
Meyers to the vacancies on the Parks and Recreation
Commission. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons seconded this motion
and it was so carried. -
MOTION: Since Al Paul resigned his position primarily for our
convenience, Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that we reaffirm
his position on the Planning Commission. Councilwoman
ward seconded this motion and it was so carried.

MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Donald Opperman be
approved to serve on the Planning Commission. This
was seconded by Councilman Anderson and so carried.
C-2 RESOLUTION ADOPTING A PARK NAMING POLICY.
Don Guluzzy read the entire resolution to the audience and council
members.
Howard Gaines was concerned that by establishing this policy it
allows you to change the name of a park at a later date. He
also did not like item number three under the exceptions - that
a person must have been deceased for more than two years before
the City Council can decide whether or not they have contributed
to the value of the City.
Cathlene McWilliams stated that she felt the names of the parks
should be named after something in nature - such as Mockingbird
Park.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons felt that this item was probably a result of
the prior Council asking for direction. He suggested that this
item be rescheduled until such time as the reason for this policy
is ascertained and brought back to Council at that time.
C-3 RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
REGARDING STOCKING PARK PROPERTY DEDICATION.
Don Guluzzy stated that the Parks and Recreation Commission has
recommended that the Council accept the Stocking Park Property
Dedication on the condition that an agreement be executed between
the homeowners association of that facility and the City to share
all maintenance expenses on that property.
All the required permits to establish a park have been obtained.
Councilman Anderson asked if it is normal procedure for the City
to assume the maintenance of a parking lot, picnic area and
restrooms. John-Bressan said that we are very fortunate when
something like this is dedicated that we only have to do part of
the maintenance.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that we accept the dedication
and maintenance as recommended by the Planning Commission.
This was seconded by Councilman Anderson and carried
unanimously.
C-4 RESOLUTION NO. 77-80, AUTHORIZE J. M. MONTGOMERY ENGINEERS
TO'CONDUCT VALUE ENGINEERING WORKSHOP FOR THE CITY OF MORRO
BAY.

MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - August 25, 1980

Don Guluzzy stated that we have negotiated a draft contract with
J. M. Montgomery Engineers to conduct a workshop for us regarding
the design being prepared by the firm of Brown and Caldwell. The
City's share of the cost is $4,200 since part of the expense
will be covered under a grant.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that we approve Resolution
No. 77-80 and authorize J. M. Montgomery Engineers to
conduct value engineering workshop for the City. This
was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried
unanimously on a roll call vote.
D. PUBLIC HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
D-1 8:00 P.M., APPEAL OF USE PERMIT - PHILIP W. FRITCH.
Don Guluzzy went over the background information on this matter.
On July 21, 1980, the Planning Commission approved a 'Conditional
Use Permit to allow jewelry manufacturing use with the following
conditions: (1) the garage remains available for parking of cars
for the existing residence; (2) that.a four space parking lot
with appropriate landscaping improvements be installed; and (3)
that curb, gutter and sidewalks be constructed between the alley
and where the current sidewalk terminates by the garage along
Bernardo Street. Mr. Fritch is appealing items (2) and (3) of
this Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Fritch stated that he wished to add 100 square feet to the
building to be rented out as an office space and felt that
additional parking space was not needed. In order to comply
with allof the conditions of the use permit, it would cost
Mr. Fritch approximately $4,000. There was considerable discussion
on the use of the residence/business as it now exists and a future
office building space to be rented.'
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that we deny Mr. Fritch's request
for the reasons that the Planning Commission has worked
extremely hard to try to upgrade the City. If Mr. Fritch
has a problem financing, I also move that we extend the
time period for the upgrading of the curbs, gutters and
sidewalks for six months and have Bill George grant
whatever permits are necessary. Councilman Anderson
seconded this and it was passed unanimously.
D-2 8:15 P.M., APPEAL OF GLADYS WALTON.
Don Guluzzy stated that Mrs. Walton is appealing the staff decision
to fully comply with the landscaping conditions required by the
Planning Commission as part of her variance to construct a parking
lot at the corner of Main and Shasta Streets. The Coastal
Commission required Mrs. Walton to have this parking lot as part
of her condition of approval.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - August 25, 1980
Page Seven
Mrs. Walton stated that she just wanted to put in plants to make
the landscaping beautiful. She would like a water meter to enable
her to water the plants she anticipates installing.
There was a lengthy discussion on this item and questions were
asked as to the amount of time it would take to establish plants
so the environment would be able to take care of them instead of
a continuous water source, the purpose of the parking lot, and
the possibility of installing a locked meter on the property.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that we delay any decision
on this for a period of 30 days until we receive the
covenant so everything can be completed in a legal
manner. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and
so carried.
E. INDIVIDUAL ITEMS OF DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 RESOLUTION NO. 80-80, A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A DEFERRED
COMPENSATION PLAN.
Don Guluzzy recommended that the City participate in the ICMA
Deferred Compensation Program. This is a voluntary program
on the part of City employees and it allows deferral of their
taxable income up to a maximum of $7500 or 25% of their total
compensation, whichever is less.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons said he wasn't prepared to give approval
at this meeting and would like time to review it. He suggested
this be brought.up for approval at the next meeting, which was
agreed upon by all present.
E-2 RESOLUTIONS NO. 79-80 AND 78-80, HONORING SOUTH BAY FIRE
DEPARTMENT AND THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY.
Don Guluzzy recommended that these resolutions be approved as
supporting the efforts of these two departments and in assisting
us in putting out the fire in Morro Bay State Park on August
15, 1980.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that council approve
Resolutions 78-80 and 79-80. Councilwoman Ward
seconded the motion and it was so carried.
E-3 PROPOSED U.S. NAVY STORM DRAIN.
Don Guluzzy stated that it was the U.S. Navy's intention to
install a 48 inch storm drain from their storage facilities near
Whidbey Street and Panorama Drive via Whidbey Street and Tide
Avenue to a discharge point in No Name Creek, and dedicate it to
the City. However, the contractor came in with an estimate that
was 400% over their engineers estimate. They have asked the
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - August 25, 1980
Page Eight
City to take over the project. They will deposit $100,000
in an escrow account for the City against the cost of
construction and construction engineering. Staff recommends
taking over this project as this would enhance our, storm drain
system.
John Bressan stated that this project would be taking the excess
water off the street surface and put it underground.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the City staff proceed
with negotiations with the U.S. Navy for installation
of a storm drain. This was seconded by Councilwoman
Deutsch and so carried.
E-4 Michael LeSage requested that Council make the executive
meeting minutes of July 14 public. This will defuse statements
being made that negotiations might have occurred at this
meeting. Council agreed to this but did feel they weren't
obligated to do it.
E-5 Mayor Dorn expressed his concern that the County Board of
Supervisors changed the urban reserve line and did not even
accept into record our letter to the Board.
E-6 Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons requested a quarterly study session
on the budget to enable Council to be informed and up-to-date
on where we stand. Don Guluzzy stated this was an excellent
suggestion and one he had recommended to Council during budget
preparation time.
E-7 Mayor Dorn stated that he had met with Congressman Panetta
and Congressman Bergner who have promised to help Morro Bay with
funds to repair/rebuild the T-Pier. Mayor Dorn felt that the
City would have better control of the Pier if we repaired it
ourselves and made it available for public use. Congressman
Panetta would like some direction from this Council to explore
this potential and the monies available in either grant or federal
form.
Don Guluzzy gave a brief report on his August 14 meeting with
the Coastal Conservancy. They have given concept approval to a
$6.5 million program for a harbor restoration plan. Peter Grenell,
Coastal Conservancy, requested that the T-Pier be made a priority
item. Mr. Guluzzy suggested that we postpone any action on the
T-Pier at this time until staff has an opportunity to meet with
Mr. Grenell again.
E-8 Mayor Dorn stated that the $675,000 for the revetment of the
harbor is presently before the Senate and there seems to be a
good possibility that it will be passed.

Councilman Anderson did not feel merchandise at garage sales could effectively
be displayed, in all cases, on the rear one-half of the lot. Mr. Gurnee
stated that this is in the current version of this ordinance.
Councilman Anderson felt a two week limitation on•the temporary refrigeration
facilities might not be enough during fishing season.
Bill George stated that in the past, refrigeration trucks have been left
for months. It was determined that two weeks was adequate. If more time
is needed, due to a longer fishing season, a reqxest can be made to the
Planning Commission for an extension.
Councilman Anderson asked if a separate source of power was needed. It
was stated this way in order to avoid diesel engines.
It was determined by all present that this Ordinance would be continued
for first reading to the next meeting with the applied amendment in
the garage sale section.
B-2 RESOLUTION NO. 75-80, REPLACEMENT OF PLECTRONS WITH RADIO PAGES FOR
FIREFIGHTERS.
Don Guluzzy stated that the total price of the 20 plectron units is
$6,000 from Motorola. The funds for this would be transferred from the
contingency reserve fund and would eliminate the need for utilizing
sirens in the city for callingout the firefighters.
Councilman Anderson felt the pagers were very worthwhile for the
permanent staff, but questioned the need of these units for the reserves.
.Bernie Zerr stated it is important when a fire does occur to have the
personnel to flight it. The current units being used must be plugged into
an electrical outlet and cannot be carried with an individual if they
leave the house. It is essential that we have a backup. Also, some
people have complained about the sirens and the personnel who live north
of Sequoia can't always hear the siren. P.G.&E. will be installing
sirens soon for an early warning of any trouble at Diablo Canyon.
Councilman Anderson was concerned about the effectiveness of the pagers
as many of them may forget to take them.
Bernie Zerr stated they have 2-3 unscheduled practice drills a month so
everyone is on the alert.
A citizen from the audience said she felt the expense of $6,00 compared to
anyone's life is very important.

carried unanimously by roll call vote; Mayor Warren Dorn
being absent.
C. PUBLIC HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
C-1 COMMUNITY PROMOTION ACTIVITIES.
Don Guluzzy stated that some direction from Council is needed to determine
what type of bid specification they would like staff to follow.
Councilwoman Ward asked if any contacts had been made at Cuesta or Cal
Poly for help? No contacts had been made since staff was not certain of
the direction to take.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved for the adoption of staff's
recommendation for the community promotion activities but
in addition that staff contact both Cuesta and Cal Poly to
ascertain if they would like to participate or submit a
bid, which is to be for the full amount. This was seconded
by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried unanimously by roll
call vote.
Mayor Lemons stated that the next step is for staff to prepare a bid proposal
for Council's approval according to Measure A. After this has been done, then
a request for bid is released.
C-2 CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION OF T-PIER ISSUE.
Mike LeSage gave a brief background sketch on this problem (see Exhibit A)
and staff's recommendation for resolution of this problem. However, Council
can elect to change or dispose of the proposal entirely.
Mayor Lemons stated that since this was such an important issue, Council would
digest Mr. LeSage's comments and the public's comments and make a decision at a
later meeting.
Several people from the audience (Joe Giannini, Jody Giannini, Ron Baker,
William Grunler, Howard Gaines, Ross Newcurt, Dick Sylvester) felt that Brebes
was in default of their lease, the City should take it over. They wanted
Morro Bay to retain the charm that exists and not become another Newport Beach
or Laguna Beach and felt a performance bond and financial statements should be
required of Brebes. They were also concerned about the size of the slips.
Reg Whibley gave a brief background on the problem. There will be 20 slips
55 feet long and 10 slips 35-40 feet long, the community will get a pier it
doesn't cost them anything, a 138 foot unloading platform, $60,000 of
restroom facilities with showers, realignment of the parking. The Planning
MINUTES - MORRO

Commission and the Harbor Advisory Committee have approved the plan. The charge
to the fishermen would be $2.25 per foot a holding. The slips will totally be
under Mr. Whibley's control and the pier under Dr. Hittle's control for sport
fishing.
Charles Ogle, one of the principal's in Brebes, went over their position and
also stated he would submit a formal letter on their views.
Councilwoman Deutsch requested the financial statements of Brebes and Reg
Whibley. Otherwise, she felt a 100% performance bond would be required.
Since all comments from the public had been heard, Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons called
a five minute recess.
C-3 BAY AMBULANCE RATE REQUEST.
Don Guluzzy gave a brief background on the proposed rate increase. He stated
that staff recommends elimination of the subsidy payments and approve their
proposed rate increase as stated in their February, 1980 letter.
Councilwoman Deutsch stated she had met with Bill'Barker of Bay Ambulance and
went over his books. 'It turned out that Bay Ambulance d'id not make a profit last
year as previously thought. She commended the company as doing an outstanding
job. The rates charged are slightly lower than the average charged. She stated
that we are in a "Catch 22" situation. The County -decided not to pay for dry
runs and Bay Ambulance receives only about 50% of his billed accounts in full
payment. Bay Ambulance could elect not to go on any dry runs, which Councilwoman
Deutsch felt would be a -health hazard. Since we are already into eight months
of Bay Ambulances fiscal year, she suggested that we agree to the existing rates
for the balance of the year and have Bay Ambulance furnish us with a certified
audit at the end of their fiscal year. At that time, we will adjust the rates
or subsidy.
Bernie Zerr stated that if Bay Ambulance was not in town when an emergency did
arise, the Fire Department would be available to take these cases.
Councilwoman Deutsch said she had taken the liberty of asking two other
ambulance companies if they would be interested in bidding on this. No
one even wishes to bid until the present contract runs out.
A citizen was concerned about the quality of care. It was stated that approval
had been granted for all EMT Ts be trained. As a result, ambulance drivers
would be trained to give better quality service.
MOTION: Mayor Lemons moved to approve the staff recommendation of approving
the rates to Bay Ambulance as stated in their February, 1980
letter, cancel the subsidy, try to negotiate a contract directly
instead of through the county, and require a certified audit at the
end of their fiscal year. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward.
On a roll call vote, it was carried with Lemons, Ward and Deutsch
in agreement and Anderson abstained; Mayor Warren Dorn absent.
Councilwoman Deutsch wanted to be sure that there would be no gap in
service.

C-4 CABLE TV RATE ANALYSIS.
Don Guluzzy stated that since AB 699 has passed, Sonic Cable TV has requested a
rate increase. Staff recommends that Council approve an appropriation not to
exceed $1200 as our cost -share for conducting a rate analysis in conjunction
with the other affected cities in San Luis Obispo County (San Luis Obispo,
Grover City, Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay).
Councilman Anderson said what concerns most people is the poor quality of service
we are receiving. It was stated that this would also be an area of concern.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that we support staff's recommendation
for a rate analysis of Sonic Cable TV at a cost not to exceed
$1200, to be transferred from the contingency reserve appropri-
ation. Councilwoman Deutsch seconded this motion and it was
carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
C-5 DORN'S RESTAURANT VS. HARTZELL'S LOG CABIN
Don Guluzzy asked for Council's guidance on this zoning matter regarding the
controversy between Dorn's Restaurant and Hartzell's Log Cabin.
Mike LeSage stated that Dan Dorn had submitted a letter (see Exhibit B) asking
for a postponement of this matter since both he and his attorney are out of town.
Mike reiterated that Council give staff direction. However, he felt both parties
should be represented.
Bill George stated that the previous Council requested Dorn to apply for a permit
on the ice machine and dumpster. To date, they have not applied for these
permits.
Mayor Lemons suggested that this matter be set for hearing on September 8, 1980
and Dorn's immediately correct the safety hazards. Council members were in full
agreement.

6. Feasibility of restoring the Chevron Pier for public fishing
access.
Mr. Grenell stated that the Coastal Conservancy would help the city --
1. identify funding
2. determine the feasibility of going ahead with these projects;
3. identify priorities on the projects;
4. determine needs for public access of some of these projects;
5. assist the city in preparing detailed concept plans, which would be
suitable for submittal as grant applications or recommendations to the
Conservancy for funding, and;
6. implementation of the projects.
Mr. Grenell stated that hearing discussions from the fishermen at the meeting, the
Coastal Conservancy will review the Marina Street End project before the Thursday
meeting to possibly include the hoist.
Councilwoman Deutsch asked if we are committed to the Marina Street End for
the hoist or if another location could be found. Mr. Grenell said nothing
is definite at this point until it has passed his board and then the Council
can decide whether or not to approve it. He also stated that the next grant
opening would not be until October.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that we endorse the Urban Water Restoration
concept File 77-7. Councilwoman Ward seconded this and it was
carried unanimously by roll call vote; Mayor Warren Dorn being absent.
MOTION: Mayor Lemons moved that the Council strongly emphasize to the
Coastal Conservancy that we support the Marina Street End appli-
cation as originally submitted and would not be adverse to a re-
quirement that the water quality be maintained. This was seconded
by Councilman Anderson and carried unanimously by roll call vote;
Mayor Warren Dorn being absent.

Item A-l. Councilman Anderson asked if the only lacking qualification on
Pete Johnson's Chevrolet was the bidders bond? Don Guluzzy stated it was a
lack of bidders bond and the price was not guaranteed for the cars. Councilman
Anderson said that what really bothered him the most was the lack of interest
from the car dealers to bid. Mr. Guluzzy agreed and stated that he couldn't
understand the lack of interest, especially since car dealers are complaining
about lack of sales.
Item A-4. Howard Gaines asked for an estimated cost on the equipment and
materials on this item. John Bressan said he had prepared an engineers estimate
on this and took into account contractor costs established by the State of
California paving so many square feet. The City's contribution on this would
be approximately $2,510 in labor and materials.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved for approval of the Consent Calendar.
Councilman Anderson seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously
on a roll call vote.
Mayor Dorn apologized for not introducing City Council candidate Lee Schultz
and applauded him for a fine campaign.
B. NEW BUSINESS
B-1 Agreement with Brown and Caldwell to Evaluate the Water Development Potential
of V.R.M. Corp.
Don Guluzzy gave a brief outline of this proposal.
Mike LeSage stated he would like to see stated in the agreement that V.R.M.
approves it and agrees to the $45,000. Also,, he would like to have a ceiling
price of $45,000 and a statement that the price will not exceed this amount without
prior approval of the City Council.
Keith Gurnee gave a brief background on this project.
There was considerable discussion on this subject from the public and several
points were brought out. (1) This is strictly a fact finding study to see if
water is there and available. (2) This does not approve any development which
might be built if water is available. (3) The entire study can be completed in
an estimated 12 calendar weeks. (4) By being involved in this study, it will
give us an impartial and truthful viewpoint or study of this project.
Sylvester Morning of VRM stated that the purpose of the study is to determine
how much water i.s there. They think there is more than enough water there to
provide them and the City. The only way to find out if this is true is to do
a study.
MOTION: Mayor Dcrn moved that we approve the agreement with Brown and Caldwell
to evaluate the water development potential of V.R.M. Corp, with the
following amendments: (1) a statement that V.R.M. approves and agrees
to $45,000; (2) the price will not exceed $45,000 without prior approval
of the City Council. This was seconded by Councilman Lemons and carried
unanimously on a roll call vote.

seen the law that the State of California has passed on this matter, which is
very close to this ordinance. Therefore, this ordinance may be pre-empted.

D-2 8:45 P.M., Policy Alternatives for Community Promotion Activities.
Donald Guluzzy stated that staff has looked at this matter and we have an
estimated $11,509 which will be available this year. Our options are limited
since $12,000 is not a great amount of money to work with on such a project.
However, staff has put together some options which are available for Council's
determination.

to bed tax only instead of other taxes available. Attorney LeSage stated he

with the people themselves.

acquiring more well sites, the possibility of penetrating the bedrock to
determine if water is underneath, and the possible study of how much ground-
water is lost to the sea. Mr. Sheahan answered all of these questions and
stated that the study is still being completed.

D-4 9:30 P.M., Consideration of Resolution of T-Pier Issue as Recommended
By Staff to the City Council
Donald Guluzzy stated that this is an issue that has been with the City for
many years. Staff has proposed a draft settlement agreement for the resolution
of the problem.
Mike LeSage went over the proposal as listed in Exhibit B. The only problem
on this proposal is the fact that the other party does not wish to have the
rent credit limited to one-half of the total rental due on the T-Pier in any
given calendar year. There are a few other minor clauses that need to be
changed, but nothing major. Mr. LeSage felt it would be in the public's
best interest to make these changes as we are so close in settling this matter.
Charles Ogle, representing Ray Gallo in this matter since he is away from
the office, stated that the letter with the changes would be acceptable to
both parties - Dr. Hittle and Reg Whibley.
Mayor Dorn stated he would like to set a public hearing on this matter and make
available to the public the letter of proposal with the changes. Mayor Dorn
also stated that John Bressan will be overseeing the repairs and make certain
that it is a proper facility for this use.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that this matter be set for a public hearing
at the August 11, 1980 meeting., This was seconded by Councilman
Lemons and passed unanimously by roll call vote.
Howard Gaines and Peter Diffley both stated that they felt more information on
this matter should be made available to the public,before the next meeting.
D-5 10:00 P.M., City Administrator's Report Re: Bay Ambulance Co. Request For
Rate Increase ,
Donald Guluzzy presented the contract by Bay Ambulance. He suggested that
the city (1) eliminate the subsidy.,to the County and (2) raise the rates to
the level requrested by Bay Ambulance to make them competitive with the County.
Staff feels that Bay Ambulance can make a profit on their own without the
benefit of the subsidy.
Mike LeSage stated that any rate increase should have prior City Council
approval. When the County approved the rate increase, they failed to get the
City Council's approval, which was an oversight.
Mayor Dorn stated that since Mrs. Deutsch's expertise is in the health field,
he has asked her to head a task force on this matter. He felt this matter
should be scheduled for a public hearing on August 11 so it can be investigated
by Mrs. Deutsch when she will have voting power.
Bill Baker, Bay Ambulance Co., agreed to meet with Mrs. Deutsch and any staff
members in order to have this resolved as soon as possible.

D-6 10:15 P.M., Report of Administrative Services Director Re: Creation of
Recreation Enterprise Fund.
Donald Guluzzy stated than an enterprise fund in commercial accounting is important
if we are a true enterprise, which the City is not.
Tom McGonagill explained an enterprise accounting system and its functions in
a business. He stated that since the majority of the funding of the Recreation
program comes from the general fund, it is not the general intention to run it
as a general enterprise and it wouldn't provide the kind of information that
would be meaningful. If it is the intention of the Recreation Department to
accumulate funds, under Prop. 4 this couldn't be done without refunding money
to the taxpayers.
Mary Sanders stated that the intention of the Recreation Department was to have
a clear accounting for the monies that were generated by the various programs.
However, with the new accounting system that the Council recently passed, this
accountability is possible.
Lila Keiser expressed her admiration in the job that Mary Sanders has done in
the short time that she has been with the department and asked her to describe
her efforts in obtaining funding for kids to, go to camp, which she did.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that we reject establishing an enterprise
account for the Recreation Department. This was seconded by
Councilman Lemons and passed unanimously by roll call vote.
D-7 10:30 P.M., City Administrator's Request for Cable TV Rate Analysis
With City of SLO and Funding Therefor.
Don Guluzzy stated that a rate increase request,had been received from Sonic
Cable TV. The cities in SLO County feel Sonic Cable TV does not deserve a
rate increase under deregulation and would like to jointly fund a rate
analysis and share the cost. San Luis Obispo City Council has already passed
this and the other cities are asking their city councils to support this. The
maximum cost to us would be $1200 of the total cost. A firm, who has expertise
in this field, has been contacted to do the job. If we supported this study,
money would have to be allocated from the contingency fund since money was
not originally budgeted.
Mayor Dorn stated he would like to see the service improved before any rate
increases are discussed.
Mike LeSage stated that several attorneys have looked at the agreement and
they all agreed.that Assembly Bill 699 should not apply. He felt this would at
least give us enough of a lever to consider participating in this study.
Don Guluzzy stated that the county is trying to get this study under way as
soon as possible and have it completed in about four weeks. There are a lot
of items, such as HBO, missing from Sonic's audit statement, and it would
require someone with expertise in this field to adequately assess this matter.

Mayor Dorn stated that we would hold this matter over to the next meeting for
review.
E. INDVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 Highway One Sign Changes.
Don Guluzzy stated he had met with the Department of Transportation regarding
changing the sign on Highway One on both the north and south approaches to the
City. The present signs are extremely old and do not conform to the National
Uniform Traffic Safety Code. The signs would be changed (to larger signs and
signs indicating "gas, food, and lodging") with funds from the Department of
Transportation. Mr. Guluzzy stated that if there are no objections, the City
will inform the Department of Transportation to proceed with this project.
E-2 Request for Appropriation For Drapery of Recreation Building.
The drapes in the Recreation Hall are in extremely poor condition. We have
received bids from two local firms and staff would recommend approval and
appropriation to fund these drapes to the low bidder, Morro Decor, at a price
not to exceed $575. This money would be funded from the contingency fund as
it was not originally budgeted.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved that funds be transferred from the contingency fund
for new drapes for the Recreation Room at a price not to exceed
$575. The motion was not carried for lack of a second.
Mayor Dorn stated that this matter will be held over to the next meeting for
consideration.
E-3 Request for Nuisance Abatement Hearings.
Don Guluzzy stated that staff would like Council to set a day during August
for a combined formal hearing to abate the following: substandard structure
at 2970 Cedar and 2865 Dogwood Avenues, Lawrence B. McKay, owner. This problem
has existed over a year and a half with repeated attempts to have the owner
correct a number of serious building code violations. Members of the Council
agreed to set a hearing on this matter for August 20 at 10:00 a.m. and requested
staff to make the proper notifications.
E-4 Resignation of Director of Administrative Services.
Don Guluzzy stated that Tom McGonagill has resigned as Director of Administrative
Services effective August 25, 1980. We will miss him as he is a dedicated,
hard working:professional. Due to the situation'in which Tom is leaving, Don
requested a study session with staff to review personnel matters on August 4
at 5:00 p.m. This was agreed to by all council members present.
E-5 Morro Bay Fishermans Memorial.
Don Guluzzy stated that the Chamber of Commerce has requested the City to accept
an anchor being presented by Mr. Andrew Satko of Morro Bay as a memorial to
deceased Morro Bay fishermen.

Mr. Andrew Satko mentioned that he had a phone call from John Jatowa, who has
offered his services and a 30-ton truck to move the anchor to the designated
spot. This anchor was constructed in 1830, made of white oak and weighs
7,500 lbs.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved that we graciously accept Mr. Satko's gift
of the anchor to be established as a memorial to deceased Mcrro Bay
fishermen. This was seconded by Councilman Anderson and so carried.
E-6 Request for Support and Opposition to Four Major Bills Coming Up for Vote
in the Senate and Assembly
Don Guluzzy stated that the League of California Cities has requested our City
to oppose two bills, SB 467 and AB 2674 and support two bills, SB 1948 and
AB 2376. A brief summary of each of the bills was given.
Mayor Dorn stated that the Board of the League of California Cities did take
these positions at their meeting last week. The Board itself will be making
these recommendations and have forwarded a request to the cities for support.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved that Council support the recommendations of
the California League of Cities by supporting SB 1948 and AB 2376
and opposing SB 467 and AB 2674. This was seconded by Councilman
Anderson and so carried.
MOTION: There being no further business, Mayor Dorn moved that the meeting
be adjourned until 7:30 P.M., July 29, 1980 at the Veterans Memorial

Donald Guluzzy read the consent calendar for the council members.
Item A-6. Councilman Lemons was concerned that the use of the permit would
remain the same. Mike LeSage stated that they would have to submit a written
request in order for the lease purpose to be changed.
Item A-4. Dorotha Deutsch was concerned that the audit agreement did not
have a maximum amount of money stipulated in the contract as it has previously
had. Tom McGonagill stated that there has been budgeted an amount of $6,500 for
this year's audit. Since our city has never been into a double entry bookkeeping
system, it is more difficult to deal with. For this reason, it is usually more
costly for them to audit us. We are switching to Alexander Grant Company computer
system that does have a software package to allow us to chart the accounts.

Regular Meeting - July 14, 1980

Mayor Dorn felt there should be a ceiling price on the audit since we
have a budgeted figure of $6,500. Don Guluzzy stated that by law the audit
must be done within 90 days and we don't have any choice. The accounting
firm will inform us when the figure is nearing the maximum that we have
budgeted. Mayor Dorn asked Mike LeSage for his opinion on this matter. Mike
stated that we can add to the contract that '!in no event will the cost exceed
$6,500 without prior written approval of the council."
Item A-2. Father Erickson stated that he felt this is a very important
and laudible part of the city's enterprise and would certainly recommend any
assistance.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved for adoption of the Consent Calendar with the
condition that Mr. LeSage insert certain language in the audit contract
stating $6,500 is the maximum amount. This was seconded by Councilman
Anderson and unanimously carried by roll call vote.
B. NEW BUSINESS
B-1 ORDINANCE NO. 181, CIVIL DEFENSE AND DISASTER PLANNING.
Don Guluzzy gave a brief summary of this. This is at the request of the
SCO County Mayor's Association to construct similar ordinances on civil defense
and disaster planning for all cities in SLO County.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved that we read the ordinance by title only.
This was seconded by Councilman Anderson and unanimously carried
by roll call vote.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved that this constitutes the first reading of
Ordinance No. 181 and it should be held over for second reading.
This was seconded by Councilman Anderson and unanimously carried by
roll call vote.
B-2 ORDINANCE NO. 183, REGARDING NARCOT PARAPHERNALIA
Mike LeSage gave a brief summary of this and suggested that Section 9.20.020
be amended to delte the words "including roach clips, and cigarette papers and
rollers designed and used for smoking the foregoing." By amending this ordinance,
it would alleviate some possible problems.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved that we read Ordinance No. 183 as amended by

Don Guluzzy said that according to our grant process, during the hours
of 10:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M., the seniors would get one-half fares. At least
10 percent of our fares must be from fare box revenues. Since we are coming
close to losing the 10 percent, we are trying to take steps to make this
program more self-sufficient.

was seconded by Councilman Lemons and unanimously carried by roll
call vote.
C. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS AND APPEARANCES
C-1 MORRO BAY GARBAGE RATE INCREASE.
Don Guluzzy stated there are basically three areas of increase: residential
in -yard service, residential curb -side service and commercial service. Staff
had prepared a chart showing the proposed increases as submitted to Council by
Morro Bay Garbage and staff's proposed rate increases.
Keith Gurnee presented a memo to the council on this proposal to amend the
franchise agreement to include four changes in the agreement. Please see Exhibit
A for this memo. There has been trouble in the past with the random placement of
commercial dumpsters. It was suggested that Item No. 4 on Exhibit A be submitted
at a future time as an ordinance.
Mayor Dorn has asked if everyone receives this service and when the last
rate increase was given to Morro Bay Garbage. Don Guluzzy stated that the last
rate increase was in 1974 and about one-half of the people in the community,
receive this service.
Mr. Guluzzy stated he would like to do a study on a mandatory garbage service.
We are currently the only City in the County of San Luis Obispo that does not
have a mandatory pickup/collection.
Mr. Gurnee stated that he would like an opinion from the Council as to the
placement of commercial dumpsters at single family residences.
Mike LeSage said that the Council can offer an interim rate increase until
a proposal can be approved by the Council.
Pat Wagner, Morro Bay Garbage Company, stated he would have to disagree
with Item No. 4 of the Exhibit'A since it would not be their problem.
Howard Gaines had several questions on this issue: (1) comparison of
rates to other cities in the area; (2) audited CPA report on Morro Bay Garbage;
(3) felt a $5,000 performance bond isn't adequate and was poor protection for
the public.
Dale Loft felt it wasn't fair to penalize a few people for those who
illegally put their garbage in the dumpsters around the City.

Bob Ward said that we are comparing this to the operation of a public
utility. He expressed his astonishment at the amount of time which has
elapsed since Morro Bay Garbage submitted their request for a rate increase.
Councilman Lemons asked if there was any provision in the contract that
would preclude.renegotiation of this contract. Mike LeSage said no. Council
could adopt an interim rate and place a ceiling price or a time frame when the
contract is brought back with the modifications.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved than an interim rate increase be approved
subject to the changes in the contract being presented to the Council
for full approval. Councilman Lemons seconded this and it was carried
unanimously by roll call vote.
C-2 AMENDMENTS TO THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE MEYERS PROPERTY.
Mike LeSage stated that all the parties were present and this matter has
been noticed for public hearing. The trial on the validity of this permit
was held today and will continue tomorrow. This amendment to the settlement
agreement represents a master plan drawn by the Meyers' architect that generally
depicts the parking, landscaping, etc. It is before the Council for
consideration as to whether or not they will adopt this plan and authorize
the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement.
Keith Gurnee described the Master Plan as submitted by Gerald Mason on
behalf of the Meyers.
Gerald Mason, Elenor Kolb, Joanne Fenton, and Al Meyers reviewed the
proposed plan and explained their positions on this.
There was some discussion on the length of a parking space in the plan,
which would be better if shortened.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved that the hearing be closed, that the Master
Plan be approved with the modifications of the one parking space
being shortened, and the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign
the agreement. Councilman Anderson seconded the motion and it was
carried unanimously by roll call vote.
D. INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION.
Councilman Lemons asked about filling vacancies on boards, commissions and
committees when the Council wanted to replace someone who had not resigned or
whose term had not expired. Does this intention have to be made and then the
10 days notice given. Mike LeSage stated that once you have secured a
resignation, then that position must be posted and ten days notice given.
Councilman Lemons also asked if it was possible to restrict the consider-
ation of items until 11:00 P.M. If the meeting has not been concluded by this
time, then the meeting can be continued. Mike LeSage stated that this could
be done.

Mayor Dorn asked Keith Gurnee about the service station on the corner of
Morro Bay Boulevard and Main Street, which is an eye sore. Mr. Gurnee said a
written notice has been sent to the owner to either submit plans for removal
or rehabilitation.
Mr. Gurnee also mentioned that the Sunland Service Station case has been
filed in the courts because of the constant complaint situation.
Mike LeSage said he has received calls regarding the sandspit and needed
to know what the City wishes were on this matter. The City Council stated
their intent is to transfer those city parcels, if the state can get the
privately held parcels, and agree to hold it as a park.
Don Guluzzy stated the city has received approval of the $100,000 bus
maintenance facility. Staff attended the Coastal Commission meeting on Del
Mar Park. The last obstacle has been cleared and we will be preparing a bid
specification.
Mike LeSage requested an executive session on Brebes T-Pier as all parties
were in attendance.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned into executive
session at 10:20 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,

EXHIBIT "A"
MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 14, 1980
TO: City Administrator/City Council
FROM: T. Keith Gurnee
SUBJECT: Garbage Franchise
Over the past few months, Building Inspector Bill George and myself have
been reviewing what seems to be one of Morro Bay's property maintenance
problems: that of the random placement of commercial trash bins in
residential neighborhoods, in public rights -of -way, or in commercial .
complexes without appropriate screening and enclosures.
As we understand the council will be considering-a.requested rate increase
at this evening's meeting, Mr. George and I would like to request that you
hold off consideration of this increase or make as a condition of approval,
that the franchise agreement between the city and Morro Bay Garbage, Inc.
be amended to include appropriate language that would have the following
affect: /
M 1. prohibition of commercial dumpsters in single family
residential neighborhoods;
2. prohibition of commercial dumpsters in multi -family
complexes of four units or more unless placed within
an approved trash enclosure;
3. prohibition of placing commercial dumpsters in public
rights -of -way; rabbi dcu 17
4. establishing a one year or other appropriate period of /3,,
amortization requiring that all unscreened commercial
dumpsters serving commercial or other industrial uses
be enclosed by an approved trash enclosure or garbage
service will be terminated.
We are suggesting these changes in the franchise agreement because it is at
.the time of rate increases that we have the leverage to do so and because
the city is ill-equipped to enforce such provisions where the garbage is
duly suited to the task.
Respectfully submitted,
