A. APPROVAL OF REQUEST - MICHAEL DEGARIMORE TO ACQUIRE LEASE SITE 90 AND 90W
FOR CHANGE OF USE FROM A MACHINE SHOP TO A WHOLESALE/RETAIL FISH AND SEAFOOD
PROCESSING OPERATION
Paul Baxter stated that this matter had been carried over from Council's meeting of
December 14, 1981, for further discussion by Council.
City Attorney Michael LeSage reviewed the lease agreement and changes that had been
made since the last Council meeting. Mr. LeSage had several comments regarding
additional changes in the lease, which are summarized as follows:
1) Page 16, Paragraph 38: Should state "TENANT agrees to commence
construction as soon as all necessary permits are obtained and
agrees to diligently pursue construction and agrees to complete
construction on or prior to January 1, 1984."
There was discussion regarding this change, and Mr. LeSage explained that there
was language in the lease to allow the time period to be extended if permits
cannot be obtained.
2) Page 16, Paragraph 38: Should state "... and agrees to complete
construction on or prior to January 1, 1984, or 1 year after all
permits are obtained."
3) Page 16, Paragraph 38: Insert the word "promptly" after "TENANT
agrees to..." at its first occurance.
4) Page 17: Mr. LeSage suggested that Michael DeGarimore and Central
Coast Seafoods sign the agreement.
Mr. Schiebelhut objected to change number 4, stating that it could have serious
tax implications, and requested that Central Coast Seafoods only, be on the agreement.
The Council discussed this matter with Mr. Schiebelhut and Mr. LeSage. It was
brought up that this might unfairly bind Mr. DeGarimore if it were to affect all
businesses operated by him, now or in the future. After considerable discussion
it was decided that there was sufficient language within the lease to prevent
circumvention of this lease by Mr. DeGarimore, and that since the lease was intended
to cover wholesale only, Central Coast Seafood on the agreement was sufficient.

City costs, and asked if this would really be sufficient to cover all
costs incurred by the City. Gere Sibbach, Finance Director, stated that
this figure was arrived at to cover all start up costs and would be

A. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS AND APPEARANCES
A-1 CONSIDERATION OF A FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH SONIC CABLE TV COMPANY (CONTINUED)
Mr. Baxter stated that this was a noticed Public Hearing to continue discussion
regarding the proposed franchise agreement with Sonic Cable TV. At the City
Council meeting of November 9, 1981, Council had approved, in concept, an agreement
with Sonic for a ten year period, with a 40% cap on rate increases for 5 years.
The Sonic Cable TV Company, in a meeting subsequent to November 9, indicated that
this was an unacceptable agreement. Staff recommends that Council adopt an amended
franchise agreement as discussed at the November 9 meeting, with the exception that
the length.of contrct be extended to 15 years.
Mr. Steve Burrell, representing Sonic Cable TV Company, stated that Sonic felt
its request for 15 years was reasonable, as the franchise is non-exclusive and
could also be revoked in the instance of non-performance.
Councilwoman Deutsch felt that the length of time for this agreement was.not
consequential, since the agreement was non-exclusive and the City was not held
to receiving service from Sonic only.

Councilman Lemons asked if rates as shown on Exhibit A of the proposed agreement
were current rates, or those proposed.
Mr. Burrell stated that the residential rates as shown were the current rates,
however the bulk or commercial rates were those being proposed.
Councilman Lemons inquired as to the rate status under the provision of AB 699.
There was a brief discussion regarding rates allowed under this legislation and
those rates being proposed.
Mr.'Zill Hargan, also representing Sonic Cable TV, stated that Sonic would
not be allowed to raise the rates more than 75% of the Consumer Price Index in
any given year, and would voluntarily limit its increases to 8% in any given
year.
Councilman Anderson asked representatives of Sonic about their collmittment to
serve all residents in Morro Bay. Sonic stated that unless prohibited by law or
PUC regulations, they would provide service.
There was a brief discussion regarding replacement costs and time frames, for
wires and equipment. dr. Hargan stated that usually cables are replaced every
8 to 10 years, and this was last done approximately 7 years ago, at a cost of
$600,000 to $700,000.
Mr. LeSage stated that a 15 year agreement was typical for the industry to all
financing time for equipment replacement.
Mr. Baxter stated that although Sonic was not willing to accept the proposed
10 year agreement, they would accept an agreement that would be 10 years,
plus the remaining three years of the current contract, or a total of 13 years.
Mr. Hargan briefly reviewed the negotiations that have taken place over the past
year, stating that both City staff and Sonic have worked hard to come to an
agreeable solution that would be advantageous to both parties. Mr. Hargan cited
several advantages to the City under the proposed agreement, such as the control
that would be retained by the City, equalized rates, and additional revenues
which would be received by the City.
Councilwoman Deutsch inquired as to the length of time Sonic had been serving
the area, and how long the original franchise agreement was for.
Mr. Hargan stated that Sonic as an entity has had an agreement since 1977 with
Morro Bay, however, the original agreement was with the County and then transferred
to Morro Bay when it incorporated.
Councilman Lemons asked what type of rate increases would be proposed, after the
initial 3 year period of S% per year. .Mr. Baxter stated that rates could be
increased 8% for the first three years, with a 60% cap for the next 5 year period.

Mayor. Dorn.stated that.the proposed•agreement_would..hold down residential rates
and allow commercial or bulk rates to rise.
Howard Gaines spoke in opposition to the proposed 15 year franchise agreement and
stated that he felt this would give Sonic a "monopoly" in the area.
Mayor Dorn responded that there could be no monopoly where a non-exclusive agreement
such as the one proposed with Sonic, exists.
Mr. BruceRisley stated thathe.wast.hot convinced that the negotiatjons_we,r:e____. _
in the best interest of the people of Morro Bay and felt that Council should not_be_
_threatened"`'by Sonics promise to raise rates. Mr. Risley also felt that the length
of the agreement should be less than the proposed 10 years, and that the City should
require a higher percentage of,compensation.
Mr.` Lemons stated that the industry standard was currently 3%, and Morro Bay would
be receiving 4%, plus 2% of HBO, under the proposed agreement.
Councilman Anderson asked Mr. Baxter if the City has ever been contacted by any
other company wishing to serve this area, or if he had knowledge of any such company.
Mr. Baxter stated.that Morro Bay had not been contacted by Falcon, which is the
only other company in the area, or by any other outside company.
Nancy Dunn, subscriber and supporter of KQED, was concerned regarding the proposed
removal of KTVU and KQED from the programming of Sonic.
Mr. Burrell gave a brief explanation covering the reasons for this action by Sonic,
stating that microwave transmissions.were declining in quality and the microwave
company had lost so many subscribers that it was not able to upgrade its service.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that the Public Hearing be closed. The
motion was seconded by Mayor Dorn and carried unanimously. (5-0)
Councilman Lemons asked Mr. LeSage if it would be possible to add to the agreement
a statement that if and when a major capital expenditure took place that the agreement
would then be extended. . Mr. LeSage stated that this would.be possible.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that the City Council keep the existing
agreement with Sonic and that if and when a major capital expenditure
occurs, a new extension be granted. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Lemons.
There was then.discussion on the need for a contract or agreement with Sonic at
all, since there was no such agreement currently.

A-2 RECOMMENDATION BY PLANNING COMMISSION FOR AMENDMENT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE
CONCERNING OPEN VEHICLE PARKING IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES (FIRST READING)
Mr. Baxter stated that this was a noticed Public Hearing. This item had been
previously discussed by the Planning Commission and was being brought to the
Council for their adoption.
Mr. Crump provided a background to this Ordinance, stating that there was a gap
in the Zoning Ordinance which does not cover the storing or parking of operational
vehicles in residential zones, and there has been a regulatory problem in this
area.
Mr. Crump reported that the staff recommendation was for approval of the Ordinance
to Amend the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Morro Bay.
Mr. Crump reviewed Exhibit "A" which had been revised and would place a limit on
the number of vehicles to be parked,.and the location for them to be parked in a
residential zone.
Councilwoman.Deutsch objected to the ordinance requiring that there be a limit
to the number of vehicles a resident could park in their driveway, and also questioned
the use of the word "temporarily".
Councilwoman Ward felt the intention of the ordinance was to clean out "junk" areas
in many yards, where cars were parked all over.
Councilman Anderson stated that he could foresee problems with this ordinance in
that many citizens would be in violation of this ordinance and yet could not
alleviate the problem.
Wendy McKee, spoke in opposition to the ordinance, stating that her teenage sons
restored cars as a hobby and she felt that this was a worthwhile pastime and did
not want to have to stop their activity. She stated that there had been a complaint
against her and that she had gone to great difficulty to remove the vehicles from
the front area of her home.
Howard Gaines stated that he was in favor or any ordinance that would alleviate
the: problem of cars being parked in the yard area of homes.
There was discussion regarding certain areas of Morro Bay and how this ordinance
would be enforced.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved that the` Public Hearing to consider an
'amendment to the Zoning Ordinance concerning open vehicle parking
in residential zones be continued to the meeting of December 14,
1981, to allow staff time to revise or amend the ordinance as per
discussion. The motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson and
carried unanimously. (5-0)

Mr. Baxter stated that due to an oversight, this item did not appear in the
published agenda in the paper, but Council has the option to approve without
this notice.
Councilman Anderson had several questions regarding the cost per mile figure,
and asked whether it could be raised, or if Cal Coast had the right to request
a raise of this figure. Mr. Bressan said no, .this was not part of the agreement.
There was also some discussion regarding verifying of the actual mileage traveled
and other -safeguards for this type of system. -
Mr. Bressan said that there were several ways to check actual mileage necessary,
and that these would be watched.
Mr. Bressan also indicated that Cal Coast Charter had volunteered a sliding scale
arrangement if miles traveled exceed those planned for.

Mr. Robert Wilson, from Community Transit Service, requested the City Council
consider their bid, as their past history with the City of Morro Bay has shown
that they consistently come in under budget every year. The difference in
the bids is $3,096, and Mr. Wilson felt that this was not a significant amount
to save to warrant changing vendors.
Mr. Peter Dworkis, President of Cal Coast Charter, Inc., was present and stated
that his service was very qualified to handle this area, and was planning on
a smooth transition period. Cal Coast will also offer employment to existing
staff or bring qualified people from other areas to train new staff.
Councilman Anderson asked Mr. Bressan if there was anything to indicate that
transition costs or levels of service.might justify staying with the current
vendor.and losing the $3,096 savings.
Mr. Bressan stated that he did not think the transition would cause any problems
and recommended Cal Coast Charter.
Councilwoman Ward was concerned about the waiting time for Dial -A -Ride customers,
and stated that she had heard several complaints about the long waiting time.
Mr. Bressan responded that Dial -A -Ride always tries to keep to its goal of a
15 minute wait time, however, mechanical failures sometimes cause a longer
waiting period.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that the Council award the bid for transit
services to Cal -Coast -Charter, —Inc., and instruct staff to bring
an agreement back to Council, on the December 14th meeting.
The motion was'seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried by the
following roll call vote:

WORKSHOP
Mayor Pro Tem Lemons asked that the City Administrator provide Council with a summary
before beginning their discussions. Mr. Baxter indicated that this meeting is an Adjourned
Council Meeting from October 26, 1981 so that Council could discuss the proposed Franchise
Agreement as submitted by staff and Sonic Cable TV Company. Mr. Baxter indicated that
the primary concerns that should be discussed were:
1. The duration of the contract, as it
period.
2. Consideration of the Consumer Price
the company to raise their rates by
increase.
3. Quality of reception and complaints
garding reception.
is proposed for a 15-year
Index formula that allows
75% of the annual CPI
from local citizens re=
4. The number and type of channels that would be broadcasted by the
cable company.
At this time the City Attorney then discussed legal ramifications about the proposed
agreement and responded to Council regarding certain areas of First Amendment conflicts
with requiring the cable company to broadcast certain channels. Council then held a
general discussion regarding each of the matters and received information from two
members of the audience. Lilia Keiser questioned whether or not the company was adhering
to earlier agreements with the City since they had changed channels recently and had not
requested City approval. Mr. LeSage responded that although Ordinance 128 currently in
effect, requires the company to broadcast KTVU and KQED, on the other hand if there is
concern regarding quality of signal in the City that the practical matter would be to
allow the company to broadcast from a reliable source. Inforceability of these matters
would be more of a policy question than should be resolved by Council.
Mr. Howard Gaines spoke to the question as to whether or not the City should enforce a
more strict regulation of the company's activities in the City limits. Also, he felt that
more severe reporting requirements should be required, and that the City should consider
taking over operation of the system as an alternative to the proposal before them.
Staff responded to Mr. Gaines that there were evaluations made of his concerns and the
basic staff position was reflected in the attached document.
Representatives of Sonic Cable TV Company, Steve Burrell and Bill Hagman spoke to Council
regarding the company's recent improvements in trying to provide a stronger signal,
Morro Bay City Council Workshop

as well as their commitment to spend up to $85,000 in improvements to improve the receipt
of signals by the local homeowners.
At this time Council indicated that they would make no changes in the attached document
until at such time as a public hearing would be held at the regular meeting of
November 9th, so that the public could be referencing the same document as was being
referenced by Council.'
MOTION: It was moved by Councilman Anderson that the meeting be adjourned. This
was seconded by Councilwoman Ward, and carried unanimously with Mayor Dorn
absent.

A-2 CONSIDERATION OF REVOCATION FOR A HOME OCCUPATION PERMIT GRANTED TO
TERRY LILLEY AT 790 LUISITA STREET.
Mr. Baxter stated this matter was continued from the last City Council
meeting of October 12, 1981 so that a Public Hearing could be scheduled for this
date. Mr. Baxter stated it would be appropriate for Council to request testimony
for and against the present Use Permit, and at that time, allow for the permittee
to rebutt or respond to any complaints that have been received. Council should
then close the Public Hearing portion and discuss the information and any additional
items they may have with the City Attorney so that he may properly advise Council of
the course that could be taken.
Mayor Dorn opened the hearing to the public.
Terry Lilley explained the history of his hobby of raising snakes and
selling them via shipment through the mail. He complained that he felt he was
being personnally persecuted by the Council because of his desire to raise and
breed snakes. He spoke of letters he had written to his Congressman and answers
received.
Paula Dalik spoke as a parent and was in favor of allowing this service to
continue in Morro Bay.
Bob Lilley, a brother of Terry Lilley, stated he was in favor of the home
use permit.
Neil Kline stated Mr. Lilley should be encouraged to continue his work.
Vince Mackle, a neighbor of Terry Lilley, stated he was in favor of the
home occupation and it did not bother him to have this activity within the neighbor-
hood.
Mayor Dorn noted this was the first time this hearing had come before this
Council. He was informed by Keith Gurnee, the previous Planning Director, that a
Home Occupation had been granted to Mr. Lilley for the breeding and selling of snakes
in a residential area, but that it was a temporary thing and would be gone within a
few months and moved to a Commercial Zone. Mayor Dorn stated he had received complaints
from neighbors about the continued use of this home occupation. Mayor Dorn explained
this matter was before the City Council to determine if the continuance of the use
would be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of
the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such use; or would be injurious
or detrimental to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general
welfare of the City. He assured fir. Lilley this was not a personal matter..
Stan Rachubka stated he had presented the Council with a petition of thirty-
five names of people living in the neighborhood who were against a commercial business
in a residential area and who wanted the zoning laws upheld. He stated he personally
had obtained the signatures starting in September of this year. He noted the neighbor
who bought Mr. l(illiams' home had also signed it.

could display his snakes and have foot traffic.
Councilwoman Ward stated she felt Mr. Lilley had behaved in a very unfavorable
manner this evening with his accusations and if she were to vote on Mr. Lilley's actions,
she would deny it.

of six months be placed on the Use Permit, the reason
being that it does endanger and jeopardize the health,
safety and welfare of the neighborhood because of the
testimony heard here this evening. The motion was
seconded by Councilwoman Ward.
A discussion followed with regard to findings for -the revocation of the
Use Permit.
Mayor Dorn questioned the Police Chief of his understanding as to the charges

Mr. Lilley had pled guilty to three charges and he would be ,sentenced in the Los Angeles
area in the near future.

have been collected to complete the engraving of names on the Memorial itself.
Mr. Zatko stated he was a commercial fisherman and had donated the anchor
to the fishermen who had been lost at sea. He stated the total project cost about
$4,500. They have collected about $3,800. to date and need about $1,200. to $1,500.

Mr. Baxter indicated a letter had been received from Mr. David "•lartin,
Principal of the Morro Bay Hich School requesting that Council reconsider the fees
established for various City services; specifically, the hourly rate for Police Officers.
Mr. Baxter stated at his request, the Finance Director prepared for Council's review
the formula by which the hourly rate was computed. Mr. Baxter noted if the Council
desires to charge the District.less, they would be setting a precedent for all other
groups who have similar requests that the City charge at below actual cost rates.
Mr. Baxter stated all public agencies, at this time, are charging actual cost rates
for users of their facilities, as a means of recovering true costs.
Gere Sibbach, Finance Director, explained how his department had arrived at
the hourly billing rate of $24.09 for Police Officers. Mr. Sibbach stated the rate
does not include overtime premium (time and one -quarter), higher base salary for
Detectives or Sergeants working on patrol, educational incentive (3% or 6% of base),
direct costs of equipment (gasoline used, etc.), or supervision time for Watch
Commanders. Mr. Sibbach explained the rate does include allocated central service
costs of City administration, personnel department, finance and payroll, departmental
indirect costs of building and equipment maintenance and depreciation, supervision
time of Police Chief, secretarial support, liability and other insurance, and dispatcher's
time.
Upon questioning, Chief Olson stated the Officers are off -duty and are working
on their own time. On -duty officers are on call should an occasion occur for their
assistance but they do not stay at the games or dances.
Mary Sanders stated if the City uses any of the school facilities, the City
must pay for the costs of the building, janitorial services, electricity, etc.

VARIANCE, CASE NO. VAR 12-81; JON
13
Mr. Crump, Community Development Director, explained the hearing was
continued from the September 28 meeting. To refresh Council's memory the
primary planning issue the Commission viewed in connection with the
subject case was whether a multi -family area should be divided into parcels
which would render multi-family.use impossible, and whether (de facto)
substandard "single family" lots should be created in an R-3, multi-
family zone. The existing zoning could yield up to six (6) dwelling units
on the site in its present undivided state. Cutting the property down
to three (3) small lots would complicate, if not preclude altogether,
its intended zone use.
The appellant had proposed to the Planning Commission an alternative
to only separate the corner lot, and this subject was also brought up
at the City Council hearing. It was staff's position that 3,868 square
foot lots are too small for an R-3 development site.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - October 12, 1981
PAGE TWO
There was some confusion in the appellant's presentation as to whether
the street corner portion of the property existed as a legal separate
parcel. According to the City Engineer it does not and the present total
parcel was assembled from remnants of four lots. Therefore, an actual
parcel map division would have to take place to separate the corner
portion of the site, not a simple lot line adjustment.
Mayor Dorn asked if there were any objections to granting this
parcel map and Mr. Crump said no.
Mayor Dorn asked if the Council were all in favor of granting this
parcel map and related variance. He also asked if there was any public
discussion on the matter.
Councilman Lemons asked if the Council had the authority to approve
a parcel map that creates nonconforming lots. Mr. LeSage stated that
if there were grounds for a variance then Council has the authority.
To grant a variance the City must find a reason to treat the parcel
differently than other lots.
Mayor Dorn asked the audience if there was anyone who objected to
the variance. No one spoke in opposition to the application.
Mr. Jon Halas stated his title company and lawyer both agree his
property is one lot on the corner and two on one adjacent. He
presented several addresses of lots in Morro Bay with 6-9 feet set-
backs between houses. He also had addresses of several under -sized
lots in Morro Bay with houses. Mr. Halas' neighbor to the west, Mr.
Ruben, has a house and lot smaller than any parcel he is trying to create.
Mayor Dorn stated that if no one objects then let Mr. Halas separate
the lots.
Mr. LeSage stated Council has the authority to impose conditions
if a variance is granted such as stipulating that the lots remain as
single family residences.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved the Public Hearing on Case No. Tentative
Parcel Map MB 81-128 and Related Variance, Case No. VAR
12-81; Jon Halas, appellant, be closed. The motion was
seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and unanimously carried.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved that Parcel Map MB 81-128 and Related
Variance 12-81 be granted the appellant. The motion
was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch. A roll call vote
was taken with Councilmen Anderson and Lemons voting no.
The motion was carried with the following conditions:
The parcels must remain as single family residences.
The Council also adopts findings that the neighboring
lots are the same size.and this variance fits with the
character of the neighborhood.

Mi. Baxter stated this item was continued for more review.
Mr. Crump stated there was,concern expressed at the last meeting
that,the Embarcadero is'being'saturated with gift shops. The only
criteria for. Embarcadero development is the City General Plan. It
calls for a mixture of harbor related and tourist commercial activities.
It is up" to Council's discretion to grant the permit. There is nothing
to measure by if there are too many of one kind of shop on the Embarcadero.
Mayor Dorn asked if the applicant wanted to say any more but they
declined.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved the Council approve a use permit
for construction of a nautical gift shop for property
in a P.D. Zone. The motion was seconded by Mayor Dorn
and unanimously carried.
A-3 CITY OF MORRO BAY WATER ALLOCATION PLAN AND FORMULA.
The Council requested the Planning Commission consideration of a.
future water allocation strategy which would be the basis of the follow-
up application amendment. The Planning Commission reviewed and recommended
a draft allocation model with several improvements at their meeting of
October 5 and October 7, 1981.
-Include working definitions for: Coastal Dependent; Coastal Related;
infill; and Contiguous Development.
-Include reference to data base and documents in support of water
recovery,calculations.
-Adopt a time limit of up to one year for Building Permits which
have already received a water equivalency award, to finalize their
application before the equivalency is returned to the yearly
allocation pool.
Mr. Crump stated that while reviewing the allocation model, there
will be several points to keep in mind: (a) the model is only concerned
with that specified amount of water gained from loss recovery; (b) that
applications for water equivalencies only compete within their same
land use category (i.e., commercial competes with other commercial uses,
etc.), for the first three quarters: (c) unallocated units are carried
over to the next quarter and redistributed according to the percentage
breakdown; and, (d).the special fourth quarter allows an adjustment
device for an unpredictable market demand, (pursuant to Coastal Act
priorities).
MINUTES.- MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - October '12, 1981
PAGE FOUR
The Council should also note there will be a set of City administrative
procedures to implement the model. These procedures would be established
as a part of the annual water equivalency award program adopted each
January by the Council. A great deal of discussion at the Planning
Commissionstudy session was oriented toward the daily operation of an
allocation program. Many of these subjects had been addressed by the
City in its previous allocation experience. That experience will aid
in preparing the annual award program.
Grace Melton complimented the staff and the Planning Commission
on their thoughtful consideration of the water equivalency plan. She
urged support of this plan in the hope that it might permit the City
of Morro Bay to partially lift the moratorium.

opinions on the water equivalency plan.
Sylvia Cook urged the City to go forward and lift the moratorium.
Ernie Miller commended staff on an allocation plan that is fair
and reasonable.

MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved to close the Public Hearing
and to accept the report with staff's recommendations.
The motion was seconded by Mayor Dorn and carried with
Councilman Lemons voting no.
Councilman Lemons then stated he would feel stronger about the
direction taken with the report if residential development was given
a higher percentage allocation. He suggested 60% would be acceptable
to him.
There was further discussion by Council about this suggestion and
how this higher percentage would be viewed by the Coastal Commission and
their staff. Councilwoman Deutsch asked Mr. Lemons if 55% would be
acceptable. Mr. Lemons stated he would prefer to keep it at 60%.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved to substitute 60% for residential
allocations instead of the percent just approved. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson and failed
with only Councilman Lemons voting in favor.
The Mayor then requested that a letter of thanks be drafted and
sent to the Planning Commission and staff for the good work performed
on this project.

B-2 ORDINANCE NO. 214, AN ORDINANCE
BAY MUNICIPAL CODE TO ESTABLISH
Mr. Baxter stated that staff had met with the Morro Bay Garbage

collection. The motion was seconded by Mayor Dorn
and carried unanimously.
Councilman Lemons asked if the ordinance was passed would it
become effective 30 days afterwards? Also if it was passed as is,
would the company be collecting all the garbage in Morro Bay at the
present rate until January of 1983? Can negotiations for a new rate
be finished in 30 days?
Councilman Anderson stated that the opinions he has heard were all
in favor of the mandatory garbage collection regardless of the rates.
Howard Gaines stated that the voters thought the rates would go
down if it became mandatory. He stated that the vote wasn't binding.
Bruce Risley believes the ordinance is inadequate to accomplish
what the people want. The company should be obligated to serve the
public equally.

B-4 ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE SITE 150 FROM KING CITY TRANSIT TO MORRO BAY
MATERIALS.
Mr. Baxter stated that this lease transfer could be recommended if
certain conditions were -met. At this time all the conditions have been
met with the exception of the letter from the bankruptcy referee. The
letter was in the mail and Mr. Baxter recommends transfer approval
contingent upon receipt of the letter. .
Councilwoman Deutsch asked if the lease was in default?
Mr. Baxter said no, the lease was paid but the company was never
billed properly.
Mr. LeSage stated if the City overlooked re -adjusting the rent to
reflect cost of living allowances then we have four (4) years to collect
due to the statue of limitations. The City can do this as a condition
of the transfer. The City has a right as a condition of the lease
transfer that the lease payments be brought current by someone.
Ray Gallo asked that the Council proceed with the transfer. If
the City submits a claim that never was submitted before they are
forcing litigation before the bankruptcy court on a priority of
creditors, the City will have to go before the bankruptcy court and
prove debt.

adjusted current rate and authorize transfer when the
lease payments are current. The motion was seconded

26, 1981 meeting after proper notice has been printed.
C-3 DISCUSSION OF DIAL -A -RIDE FAREBOX REVENUE AND ALTERNATIVES TO
DIAL -A -RIDE SYSTEM.
Mr. Bressan stated to date some of the more viable modifications
that have been pursued are increasing fares, changing to a fixed route
system or route deviation system with a handicap van, providing city -
subsidized taxi service in conjunction with a handicap van, decreasing
operation hours and reducing level of service. It.is staff's
recommendation that the City Council discuss these and any other alter-
nates which they may find reasonable and provide staff with direction
so they can further investigate methods to bring Dial -A -Ride revenues
and expenses into compliance.
Mr. Bressan added that if the fares were increased from 50C
to 75C a point of diminishing returns could be reached due to .people
not using the buses due to the fare increase.He additionally
discussed offering discount tickets to those using the bus on a regular
basis, or the elimination of Saturday service.
Staff recommends increasing advertising and eliminating Saturday
service to overcome the deficit.
Lila Keiser spoke in support of the Dial -A -Ride system.
Pam Harris of Dial -A -Ride suggested using "Scatter System" which
is a door to door and a fixed route system combined.
Bruce Risley suggested that the Senior Citizen Inc. be asked to
collaborate on discussions of options.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved to have Staff proceed on studying the
recommendation of eliminating Saturday service and
using advertising. The motion was seconded by C "

A-1 Appeal of the Planning Commission denying tentative Parcel !lap MB 81-128
and related Variance, Case No. VAR 12-81; Jon Halas, appellant.
Mr. Crump, Community Development Director, explained that at the request of
the appellant, the City Council continued the subject item from their August 24, 1981,
meeting.
Mr. Crump stated on August 3, 198L the Plannihp Commission considered the request
of Jon Halas for a Tentative Parcel Map,, dividing one parcel into three and related
Variance from yard setback requirements for Fogerty in the R-3 Zone, located at
270, 290 and 292 Olive Street, on the�srouthwest corner of'Olive Street and plain Street.
The Planning Commission found the proposed division to lots of less than 4,000 square
feet unacceptable'in the R-3.,(multi-family) zone and the e/ariance in sideyard setbacks
which resulted from proposed new property lines. The Commission denied the request
3-0 with two members being absent. The applicant has now appealed the Commission
decision to the City Council.
Mr. Crump stated the primary planning issue in connection with the case is
whether a multi -family area should be divided into parcels which would render multi-
family use impossible, and whether de facto substandard single family lots should be
created in an R-3 Zone.
Mayor Dorn opened the hearing for Public comment.
Jon Halas, appellant, stated he was requesting to be allowed to create three
lots from the existing lot that has three houses on it. He believed that he had two
lots at the present time, and that one house, facing Main Street, was on one lot, the
MINUTES` `= MORRO', BAY CITY COUNCIL
Regular Meeting - September.28,.1981
PAGE TWO
other two houses facing Olive Street, were on the other.lot. Mr. Halas stated he wanted
to straighten the property line between these two lots, and divide the other lot into
two lots, creating three parcel'. .He stated that he had talked to his neighbors about
turning this property'fron R-3 into an R-1 Zone, and they had indicated they preferred
their property to be used as a single family residence. Mr. Halas explained his three
houses were well built of redwood and had been there for forty years. He stated the
size of the houses were approximately 1,000 to 1,100 square feet. He noted he lived
in one of the houses and his father lived in the corner house on ?lain Street and Olive.
His purpose for requesting this lot split was so that he could sell the middle house
to generate some money. He did not feel it was affordable to rebuild as the R-3 Zone
would only allow four units•on this property.
There were no comments from the audience.
Councilman Anderson stated that the proposed Parcels #1 and #2 were substantially
below 4,000 square feet.
Mr. Crump noted that single family lots were usually about 5,000 or 5,500 square
feet.and larger, in our density range of four to seven dwelling units per acre.
Councilman Anderson stated the corner lot of Olive and Pain Street was only 3%
shy of 4,000 square feet. He felt this would be acceptable as a single lot, and combine
Parcels #1 and #2 into another single lot.
Councilwoman Ward questioned the square footage per unit allowed in the R-3 Zone
and was informed it was 1,600 square foot of land per unit.
Mr. Halas protested that according to the tax parcels, there were already two
separate lots. What they wanted to do was to allow for three separate ownerships of
the three houses.
A discussion followed with regard to density and conformance with the Zoning
Ordinance.
Mr. LeSage stated single family homes are allowed in the R-3 Zone, but it is
inconsistent with the General Plan.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved the Public Hearing on Case No.
Tentative Parcel Map MB 81-128 and related Variance, Case No.
VAR 12-81, be closed. The motion was seconded by Mayor Dorn
and unanimously carried.
MOTION: Councilman Lemons moved this matter be continued for two

carried.
Councilwoman Ward requested staff to look at other lots for size in that
particular area.

P.-2 Continued Public Hearinn on.Case No. CUP 05-81, Planning Commission recommendation
to the City Council for approval of a Use Permit to allow a forty-one (41) unit
motel in a P. D. Zone, located at 450 to 496 Embarcadero, Harold Biaggini, applicant.
Mr. Crump stated the subject case was continued from the August 25, 1981, City
Council meeting, with directions given to the applicant for preparation of view studies.
The applicant requested to be rescheduled for the September 28, 1981, meeting. The
applicant's representative indicated he would, at that time, be prepared to review
with the Council the items requested.
Mr. Crump stated the Council now has before it an application for a "General Plan"
consisting of a forty-one unit motel and manager's apartment, recommended for approval
subject to conditions, by the Planning Commission.. Realizing that water equivalencies
are not being issued at the present time, the application has been submitted for pre-
planning purposes.
Don West, Architect', representing Mr. Biaggini, displayed an exhibit outlining
a view corridor study. The study was made from eye level at the end of Anchor Street.
Mr. blest pointed out the view of the bay itself has already been blocked by the existing
buildings of the Crown and Anchor Restaurant and the Diver's Association Building, also
the Yacht Club. Fir. blest stated that by removing four units of the upper part of the
Motel, youcould modify the view of the.bay. Mr. !Jest noted that development would take
place on the waterside of the bay with even a one story building that would restrict the
view of the bay; therefore, the removal of the four units of the motel would have very
little effect on the view.
Mayor Dorn inquired if the applicant was agreeable to the conditions as set forth
by the Planning Commission. ,
Mr. Harold Diaggini, applicant, replied they had no qualms with any of the
conditions the Planning Commission had requested. Mr. Biaggini presented a petition
from citizens approving the project which had been circulated in December of 1977.
He pointed out they have been working on this same motel plan for a long time and noted
a new motel ,has not been built in Morro.Bay since 1973. Also, two motels have been torn
down since that time. Mr. Biaggini noted a lot of new shops have been built and two new
restaurants have been built since 1973. He felt there were not too many places for the
tourists to stay.
P1ayor Dorn opened the hearing to the public.
Mr. Louis Caratan, property owner located above the proposed project, stated he
had discussed this project with Mr. Biaggini and it would not be detrimental to any of
their interests, views or anything else as proposed.
Councilman Lemons questioned the applicant if they had looked into reducing the
overall height by lowering the foundation.
Mr. West stated they had not looked into it specifically as yet, but would
certainly look into it when they got into their construction anaylsis and design.
They would take a very close look into alternate structure systems and ramp angles
on getting the automobiles in.and out of that lower level.

Councilwoman Ward questioned the removal of trash.
Mr. West stated that was one of the conditions the Planning Commission set forth
and they would provide an acceptable method of removing trash and would certainly solve
that problem.
Councilman Lemons questioned the Community Development Director with regard to
water equivalencies and if this would establish priority.
Mr. Crump stated this would not establish priority for water equivalencies as
this was an application for planning approval required in a Planned Development Zone.
Mr. Biaggini would be in the same category as any other application for a motel
applying for an equivalency permit.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved the Public Nearing on Case No. CUP 05-81

Lemons and unanimously carried.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved the recommendation from the Planning Commission
on Case No. CUP 05-81 as forwarded to the City Council be approved

A-3 Case No. CUP 11-81, Planning Commission recommendation to the City Council
for approval of a Use Permit (General Plan) for an existing gift shop and

office and marine mammal distress station for property located in the P. D.
Zone, generally located on the southwest corner of Embarcadero Road and
Marina Street, at 595 Embarcadero, Dean and Bertha Tyler, applicants.
Mr. Crump explained the Planned Development Zone provides for a two step approval
process. The first conceptual approval is termed by the Zoning Ordinance as a "General
Plan". The concept approval is based on Planning Commission hearing and recommendation
to the City Council; with final action being taken by the Council. If approved by the
Council, the applicant may then file a "specific plan" incorporating all of the previously
required conditions with the final details of the site design, for Planning Commission
action.
Mr. Crump stated the Council now has before it an application for a "general"
plan" consisting of the described existing facilities and the proposed second story
addition, recommended for approval subject to conditions, by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Crump noted the subject case was heard by the Commission at their September 8,
1981, meeting. In addition to the recommendation being offered,.it was concluded that
the request did not involve an expansion of site uses beyond those which presently exist,
only additional building area to house those activities. It was also believed that water
saving devices installed in the existing building and proposed addition would result in
a balance of water use with the historic rate, and therefore, the contemplated construction
could proceed after securing necessary approvals.

Mayor Dorn opened the hearing to the Public for comment for or against the proposal.
Howard Gaines questioned the water usage and inquired if this application would

Mr. Crump answered it would require a Coastal Permit and preliminary calculations
for water saving devices indicate they might even reduce the water consumption.

B-1 Settlement.of Tidelands Boundary Agreement - Caratan Parcel.
Mr. LeSage stated there were three items pending toward the settlement of
this Tidelands Boundary. The first relates to the question as to when the Council would
act to accept the agreement; that in turn, resolves itself into the question of when
will the Council be satisfied that they are adequately assured of funding. Mr. LeSage
stated the State Lands will not act until the Council acts.. The third item is that
preliminary study has found the Caratans have indicated they are willing to settle but
have asked for two boatslips instead of one because of the size of their parcel.

on one other point that was raised.
Upon questioning by Councilman Lemons, Mr. LeSage stated the committment was
that it would be a park for thirty years.

D-3 Rescind Amendment'to the Handicapped Joint Powers Agreement providing for a
One Year Pilot Study.
Mr. Baxter stated this item has been pulled. This was a Handicapped Joint Powers
Agreement which apparently was adopted unnecessarily and the Council of Governments are
revising it now and will bring this back later on.

Union, Local 1855.
Mr. Baxter explained as requested by Council, the Local Fire Fighters Union
Local 1855 has made their choice known regarding whether a one-year or'two-year
agreement would be acceptable to them. Staff was informed in writing by Mr. Parker,
the Union Representative, that the Fire Fighters have voted to ratify the two-year
agreement. Staff recommends the Council approve the two-year contract giving the
City Administrator authorization to sign on behalf of the City.
D-5 1981-82 Fiscal Year Transportation Development Act (SB 325) Claim.
Mr. Baxter stated it is timely that the City's annual claim for the use of SB 325
funds be filed. As required by regulation, a resolution has been prepared for Council
adoption which describes how the SB 325 funs will be allocated. The legislation which
created this funding requires that monies be used for transportation purposes (Dial -A -Ride)
only. It is recommended that Council approve the resolution as submitted.

Regular 61eeting - September 28, 1981 s

Mr. Baxter stated Senate Bill 215, sponsored by Senator Foran, was signed by
the Governor. It would provide for a two -cent increase in gas tax and then some of
the funds would be returned to the various local governments for road construction
and repairs. In order to have that two'cent tax, be levied, a local option was part
of the bill and each County must adopt the two -cent tax in their particular jurisdiction.
It is recommended that the Council adopt a resolution urging the local County Board of
Supervisors to implement this increase for San Luis Obispo County.
D-7 Approval of City Council Minutes from Meetings of July 27, 28, August 24, and
September 14, 1981.
Mr. Baxter noted the Deputy City Clerk has prepared minutes for the Council
approval from the above referenced meetings and recommend Council approve the minutes
as submitted.
D-8 Approval of Agreement with P. G. & E. for Early Warning Sirens.
Mr. Baxter stated P. G. & E., as part of their early warning system for the
Diablo Canyon Power Plant, has constructed a siren system throughout San Luis Obispo
County. In order to avoid any possible conflicts with the local siren systems, they
are requesting that in exchange for local sirens not operating for emergency purposes
that P. G. & E. will pay for certain emergency communication equipment for such local
agencies. The City in the past, has not operated a siren system for some time regardless
of P. G. & E's proposal. ,At this point it would appear to be advantageous for the City
to enter into the agreement and thus benefit from the receipt of the equipment. Staff
recommends Council authorize the City Administrator to sign on behalf of the City the
agreement proposed by Pacific Gas & Electric Company as it relates to sirens and
communications equipment.
Howard Gaines spoke on D-1 and D-6. D-1, referred to Item Vouncher $60.00
to reimburse Rotary Club dues. His objection was Rotary Club,was a private organization
of Businessmen and the dues of $60.00 should come under "Community Promotion". The other
objection was to the refund voucher to Councilwoman Dorotha Deutsch to attend a
California Cities meeting. He objected to the price of the dinner.
Gene Doughty questioned the reason for the rejection of Bids No. P14 80-006-31,
recoat interiors for Blanca Street !dater Tanks.
Mr. John Bressan, Director of Public Services, stated the budgeted amount for
this project was $16,000.00. Three bids were received for the project, the low base
bid being $22,263.00 from Land/Sea Interface Construction. Not included in this base
bid are needed fiberglass repairs to the interiors of the tanks, the extent of which
could only be determined at such time as the tanks were drained and inspected. There-
fore, it is recommended by the Public Services Department that all bids be rejected
and Council direct Staff to reduce the scope of the project and go back to bid for the
recoating of one tank, at such time the tank can be drained and inspected prior to
the bid opening.
Councilman Lemons questioned the amount the Cities would get out of the two
cent gas tax.

E-4 Mandatory garbage.
Mr. Baxter commented Staff has been laboring with some of the complications
associated with the mandatory garbage ordinance with the fact.that the current contract
with the provider at this point does not allow for the mandatory garbage to be implemented
unless the City were to agree to an amendment. The agreement will last until January 12,
1983. The City is now working with the Garbage Company to learn if they would be willing
to amend the current agreement or secondly, what their position would,be on bidding process
for the duration of this agreement.
Mayor Dorn stated the City must tell the garbage company there is to be a door
to door pickup in the future, and if they can't do it, then the contract must go out
to bid as they have forfeited their public trust.

A. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS & APPEARANCES
A-1 CASE NO. CUP. 08_81,_SAN LUIS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, APPLICANT. REQUEST
This matter was continued from your meeting of August 24. The school district has
requested that the City allow the use of a travel trailer on the Morro Bay High
School campus so that security personnel may live on campus and protect the
property against vandalism. Upon review of the application, staff found that
the current high school is non -conforming and did not have a use permit from the
City. Mr. Crump is resolving this procedural requirement by submitting a
resolution for a use permit for the high school which would also allow the
security trailer which was requested by the school district.
Mayor Dorn opened the public hearing on.this matter and asked if there was anyone
in the audience who wished to speak on this matter.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the public hearing on this matter be

A-2 REQUEST BY MORRO BAY GARBAGE FOR AN INTERIM RATE INCREASE.
As a result of the last meeting with Mr. Wagner, staff and Mr. Wagner were able
to come to an agreement on a rate schedule that reflects on an increase based on
landfill increases and not other items. Mr. Bressan went over the logic used in
this proposed rate increase.
According to Councilman Anderson, the rate increase at the landfill was nothing
the city or the garbage company had any control over.
Councilwoman Deutsch stated that the Board of Supervisors postponed a further
request for increases at the landfill until September 28. Will the garbage company
be back to the Council requesting a further rate increase if the landfill fees
are raised again? Mr. Bressan mentioned that these proposed increases for the
garbage company, if approved, would remain in effect until a decision has been
made on the mandatory garbage ordinance.
Recommending against the increase, Howard Gaines felt that the major portion of
the costs would be borne by the residential individual.
Mr. Wagner, Morro Bay Garbage, requested that the drop box rate be $40 per dump
plus whatever the dump fee is at the time it is taken to the disposal site.
Mr. Risley was not opposed to the garbage company having a�rate..increased.but%also
requested that everyone be given equal treatment by the garbage company.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved that Council approve the interim rate increase for
Morro Bay Garbage Company based on staff's recommendation and that
staff come back to Council in 30 days with a recommendation on a
new fee schedule for the drop boxes as suggested by Mr. Wagner. This
was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried unanimously by roll
call vote.
A-3 ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE SITE 150 FROM KING CITY TRANSIT TO MORRO BAY MATERIALS
Jack Wallace of California -West has reviewed the requested lease transfer. He
recommends approval of this lease assignment subject to the followin : (1) site
and use plan, (2) assumption agreement, (3) financial statements, (4� disclosure
of principles and (5) city indemnified from an asphalt loss. Staff is recommending
a continuation of this matter until all reports are received.
This matter has been rescheduled by a consensus of the Council to the meeting of
September 28, 1981.

B-1 FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF HITTLE'S LANDING REQUEST FOR RELIEF OF HARDSHIP.
As a result of a meeting with both parties involved, the Harbor Patrol and
the Harbor Advisory Board, Mr. Bressan presented a new alternative:
(1) A dock would be built on the south side of the Hittle lease site not
to exceed the lease site, which would be safer to dock their boat.
(2) The position of the dock would provide for a safer docking during a
flood tide situation.
(3) The dock would provide a physical barrier between the contested lease
site, the street end, and the Yacht Club where there is a conflict between leases.
Since Dr. Hittle was unable to attend the meeting, Mr. Bressan expressed his
concerns. Dr. Hittle will not agree to this proposal as he would like a physical
barrier between his lease site and that of the lease site to the north.
Mr. Jeplin of the Yacht Club and Cliff Smith of the Harbor Advisory Board would
favor the plan as outlined by Mr. Bressan.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked how long it would take to completely build a dock on
the Hittle's lease site. Mr. Bressan mentioned that by the time approvals are
received from the Coastal Commission, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Planning
Commission that it would take from six months to a year for construction to be
completed.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that Council approve staff's recommendation
and allow the Hittle's to build a dock on the south side of their site
not to exceed their lease site for the mooring of one boat and in the
interim that the present dock be used for loading and unloading of
passengers only and the boat be placed on a mooring. This was seconded
by Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons and so carried.
Ernie Miller felt that since a variance had been given to the Yacht Club that
consideration for use of part of the street end should be given to Dr. Hittle.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the above motion be amended to include
the following: a revokable permit be granted for construction of a
dock five feet into the street end by the Hittle's for construction of
a conventional dock with one side being five feet and the other ten
feet for the mooring of one boat. If this alternative is not acceptable
to Dr. Hittle, then all of the conditions expressed in the original
motion are available. The present dock will still only be used for
loading and unloading of passengers and the boat be placed on a mooring.
This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and passed with Councilman
Anderson and Councilwoman Ward voting no.

B-4 RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE CLASSIFICATION, COMPENSATION AND TERMS OF EMPI_nY-
Mr. Napper outlined the background of this matter and the two options which had
been available to the Fire Fighters Union, Local 1855: (1) a two-year contract
resulting from meetings with a State Conciliator proposing'a 17.5% salary increase
upon ratification by the Fire Fighters Union, Local 1855 or (2) a one-year
unilateral contract with a 6.5% salary increase. Since staff did not hear from
the Fire Fighters Union, Local 1855 by 5:00 PM this date, staff recommends adoption
of the resolution unilaterally approving a one-year contract with a 6.5% salary
increase.
Jerry Parker, Ernie Miller, Dan D'nks', We% Calmes, Stan Thomas, Bill Mehaffey,
Jeff Jones, Jim Ross, Jonelle Parker, Lila Keiser, Kiel Calmes, Howard Gaines,
Peter Diffley and Bruce Risley all spoke in favor o.f;.a raise for the fire fighters.
Their main points were: (1) salaries are,below those of the City of San Luis
Obispo, South Bay Fire Department, and the State comparison of cities our size;
(2) amount of training and experience needed to perform the,job and high cost
to replace a position; (3) number of,employees (5) who may look for other jobs if
a $300 raise is not granted; (4) unneeded cost for hiring a City negotiator;
(5) need for a dedicated, responsible and well=trained Fire Department since
Morro Bay does not have a hospital; (6) the unit's proficiency was praised.

and the matter is being continued to the September 14 meeting for a complete
report at that time.

A-2 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PORTIONS OF CHAPTER 8.16 OF THE M
CODE, REFUSE ORDINANCE FOR MANDATORY COLLECTION.
This proposed ordinance contains provisions for having a mandatory garbage service
which is integrated with the City's water billing system, provides for pick-up
on other than weekdays, would allow for hardship cases to be resolved by the City
in the event the applicant is not capable of handling their own garbage, would
permit a local resident to utilize wet garbage for compost purposes, would still
require that all persons who prescribe to water service would have to have a
minimum garbage service and lastly, would allow for the establishment of a
franchise board appointed by Council to review collection services and complaints
and any other tasks as designated by Council. Staff would recommend that, subject
to any amendments, the ordinance be introduced by title and number only and adopt
it in its amended form for its first reading.
The meeting was opened for public comment.
Howard Gaines had a number of concerns regarding this proposed ordinance which
were: (1) Couldn't understand why the garbage company would agree to a formal
bidding process wherein they may lose the bid; (2) If there isn't any public
bidding, how will the public be protected without competitive bids; (3) The amount
of the surety bond was too low and should be raised; (4) Amounts should be
designated for the property damage insurance; (5) The Franchise Board should
consist of at least five people instead of a minimum of three; (6) Proper handling
of the garbage cans themselves should be in the contract/ordinance to handle
any problems on damages or the company should provide cans themselves; (7) The
city should not be obligated for trash receptacles in the Embarcadero area.
This responsibility should be borne by the businesses in this area.
Wendy Calmes agreed with most of the comments made by Mr. Gaines but felt the
city should continue pickups on the Embarcadero and that the issue on the garbage
cans was not important.
Clarification was sought by Pat Wagner on the distance from the curb that bins
and/or trash cans were to be seta Mr. Bressan stated that the cans should be
in public view for pickup days only. Mr. Wagner also felt that a five foot
limitation should be set for all items picked up by the, garbage company.
The public hearing on this ordinance was closed.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Section 8.16.345 of the proposed ordinance
be changed to have a minimum of five members instead of three on the
Franchise Board. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Section 8.16.390 of the proposed ordinance
be amended to include a five foot maximum length on any items picked up
by the garbage company. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so
carried.

MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Section 8.16.27OF of the proposed
ordinance be amended to include property damage insurance of $100,000,
$500,000 and $100,000 minimum amounts. This was seconded by
Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if it was possible to have an option of having the
garbage picked up in our backyards. Mr. Sibbach stated that this was currently
impossible because of the billing capabilities of the computer.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this Refuse Ordinance be read by
only. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
Mr. Baxter read this ordinance by'title only*- "An Ordinance Amending Portions
of Chapter 8.16 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code, Refuse Ordinance for Mandatory
Collection."
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this constitutes the first reading
of the Refuse Ordinance. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward
and so carried.
A-3
13.04.310 AND SECTION 13.04.200-E OF THE
When Council made changes in fees for utility services as they related to water
service, no provision was made at that time by staff to revise the ordinance
applicable to the matter so that the ordinance would be in conformance to
current Council policy. At this time staff is bringing the ordinance to Council
in a revised form to reflect current Council policy on restoration and
reconnection charges as well as payment of bills. All references to both of
these matters shall be to a resolution and will no longer be in the ordinance
so that in the event that Council policy changes at a future date that the
ordinance will not have to be amended again.
The meeting was opened for public comments. Since there were no comments, the
hearing was closed.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this ordinance be read by title
only. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
Mr. Baxter read this ordinance by title only - "An Ordinance Amending Section
13.04.310 and Section 13.04.200-E of the Morro Bay Municipal Code."
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this constitutes the first reading of
this ordinance. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so carried

schedule the matter for a public hearing so that formal action could be taken on
the matter.
The meeting was opened for public comment.
The results of this request will determine where they decide to build their home
according to Mr. Buss.
Mr. Baxter stated that the formal procedure would require that the matter be
referred to the Planning Commission for a report on its consistency with the
General Plan.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that this matter be forwarded to the Planning
Commission for a recommendation to be brought back in 40 days and that
this public hearing be continued until that time. This was seconded
by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
A-5 CASE NO. CUP 05-
DATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL
(Councilman Anderson arrived at the meeting at this time.)
Mr. Crump went over the background of this case, the zoning ordinance procedures,
and the cronology of the Commission Hearing. The EIR has already been completed
on this project and the Planning Commission gave it a negative declaration.
The meeting was opened for public comment.
Tourists like to stop on Morro Avenue to see the view of the ocean and Dorothy
Lions did not feel that the proposed project should block the view from Anchor
Street to South Street.
Since the project will possibly house 100 people, Roy Fast was concerned that
a new EIR was not required by the Planning Commission. He was also concerned
with the following: (1) It is going to be harder for emergency personnel and
fire prevention methods to be initiated with this proposed hotel; (2) A see -through
or view corridor should be included: in the plans so the view is not totally
obstructed; (3) The city may use Ahchor Street as another access to,the Embarcadero
and this project would prevent this use. '
Don West, representing the applicant:Harold,B,iaggini,,stated that the -building,
is a suitable function for the area and would 'be arr asset to the City. The
proposed.building conforms to all building and zoning ordinances of the.city..
This proposed project has been considered by the Planning Commission and the
Council previously and it received'a negative declaration at that time.
Stating that people would like more access to the beach area, Wendy Calmes felt
that the area needs more hotels.
Hotels are a number one priority for water equivalency according to the LCP and
Coastal Commission stated Jim Ross. He suggested that parking be on the roof.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 24, 1981

Al Bassel was also concerned that an EIR should be required for this project.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that the public hearing on CASE No. CUP 05-81
be closed. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this, project be required to file a
new EIR since other property owners in the area are held to this
stipulation. There was no second to this motion and it, therefore,
died.
Mr. Crump went over the requirements for requiring a new EIR to be made on this
project. New information must be submitted to warrant this to be completed.
There is no objection from the City departments on this proposed hotel.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that this proposed hotel not be approved
conceptually. There was no second to this motion and it, therefore,
died.
Councilman Anderson felt thatif this project was within all the zoning and
planning requirements that he would feel obligated to approve it even if he
did not personally agree with it.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that the resolution submitted by the Planning
Commission be approved. This was seconded by Councilman Anderson and
so carried.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that a substitute motion be approved wherein
a study be completed and submitted showing whether or not a view
corridor could be provided and.resubmit this to Council for approval.
This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried with Council-
woman Ward voting no.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that this matter be continued until the
completion of this study for potential view corridor. This was seconded
by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried with a majority vote with Council-
woman Ward voting no.
B-4 FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF HITTLE'S LANDING REQUEST FOR RELIEF OF HARDSHIP
Staff has met with representatives of both Hittle's Landing and Morro Bay Yacht
Club to discuss the alternatives available to solve the hardship request of
Hittle's Landing. 'Staff is recommending Option One be approved as it is accept-
able to all parties concerned. Option One is to allow Hittle's the construction
of a 45 foot dock perpendicular to the shoreline, that his operation be confined
to the lease site as amended by Council and require the Yacht Club to raft boats
no wider than two abreast except in extreme emergencies.
Councilwoman Ward stated that at a recent workshop she attended it was mentioned
that a variance of a lease must be tied to the property and not the lessee such
as is proposed in this case. She also felt that it was not the City's
responsibility to provide a means -of servicing or solving an individual business'
problem. This lease site has -not shrunk or grown since Dr. Hittle acquired it.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 24, 1981

Staff has spent a lot of time on this matter according to Councilman Anderson
and he felt that the city was overstepping its authority in this matter.
Councilwoman Deutsch felt that it was the City's responsibility to help everyone
in the City. There was a general discussion on this matter.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved for the approval of Option One as staff had
recommended. There was no second to this motion and it, therefore,
died.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved for the approval of Option 2. This was
seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and on roll call vote failed (Deutsch -
yes; Anderson - no; Lemons - yes; Ward - no).
Councilwoman Ward felt that it would behoove Dr. Hittle to further discuss with
staff another lease site that would adequately fit his needs.
A recess was called at 10:05 PM at which time Councilman Anderson departed from
the meeting. The meeting was reconvened at 10:10 PM.

IVE
DRRO BAY AS A STUDY AR
Earlier this month the Department'of Water Resources has discussed a water system
which would be utilized in the Morro Bay area and if installed such system could
allow for percolation of additional water into the water basins that the City
depends upon. The name of the.program is called Keyline Systems and has been
effectively used in Australia. The first phase of the program would involve a
feasibility study working with DWR. The cost of such study to the City would
be $10,000-$12,000. The 1981-82 budget has funds set aside for recharge basins
and staff feels that the intent of the recharge basin would be met by the Keyline
System. Mr. Bressan gave an overview of the Keyline System.
Grace Melton, a member of the Water Advisory Committee, quoted Jack Surfluh stating
"this is a very definite step forward in what we are trying to accomplish and
urged the Council to make room for positive thoughts and have a starting point
for helping solve some of our problems." Mrs. Melton urged the Council to invite
the DWR to assist us in this study.
Another member of the Water Advisory Committee, R. V. Kitzman, felt very strongly
about this study. It is a simple method that looks as though it would be a
positive step in .the overall water management of what we have here in Morro Bay.
The Water Advisory Board voted unanimously in favor of this study.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved to authorize staff to enter into negotiations
with DWR for the purpose of providing a feasibility study for the Morro
Bay area regarding the Keyline System and that funds in the Public
Services Department be earmarked for this study. This was seconded
by Councilwoman Deutsch and so carried.

E. INDIUIDUAL DETERMINATION'AND/OR ACTION
E-1 CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR POSITION
Mr. Baxter stated that he had requested a classification study be performed
regarding the Building Inspector position in the City. The primary findings of
the report are that the current Building Inspector functions in a much higher
capacity than the normal building inspector position. Mr. Napper is recommending
that because of the additional duties and since Mr. George's salary currently
reflects a higher level of position than is currently entitled that the position
for Mr. George be changed from Building Inspector of Chief Building Inspector at
the same salary range and placing him in the mid -management classification.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Council adopt the classification study
on the building inspector position and adopt the recommendations thus
changing the title to Chief Building Inspector. This was seconded by
Councilwoman Ward and so carried.

A-5 CASE NO. ZOA 02-81, CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT OF MUNICIPAL CODE T
On April 13, 1981 the_City Council adopted a resolution of intent to amend the
zoning ordinance regarding regulation of electronic amusement and pinball arcades
in Morro Bay and referred the matter to the Planning Commission for them to review
the proposal and hold public hearings regarding changes in the zoning ordinance.
It was Council's intent that the subject activity should be stringently regulated
and only be an incidental part of any business in a PD zone. The Planning
Commission approved a resolution which would recommend a special use permit for
arcades and which is substantially different from that which was referred to
them by Council. The Planning Director, Police Chief and Recreation Director
all feel that the Council's first intent should be upheld. Therefore, there are
two ordinances for Council's review and approval on this subject depending on
their direction.
The meeting was opened for public comment.
Speaking in favor of electronic arcades, Bob Lawrence, felt that there was not
much for the youth to do in this area and this would be a healthy outlet for
them. He asked that the Council not prejudge this request based on the crime
rates/experiences of other communities and that this community be judged
individually.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 10, 1981
Page Three
Al Paul, Planning Commissioner, mentioned that the feelings of the majority of
the Commissioners was that an arcade properly supervised would not be a
detriment to the community, would stimulate employment, and would be an area
of enjoyment. The criteria for adequate supervision could be outlined in the
use permit.
It was asked by Councilman Anderson why the Planning Commission took a view
opposing the Community Development Director and Police Chief. Mr.Paul stated
that the views were that proper controls would not make this detrimental to the
community.
Councilwoman Deutsch felt that it wasn't necessary to have an ordinance to preclude
this type operation until an application has been received. She felt that every
business should apply on an individual basis and considered as such.
Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Council approve the recommendation
of the Planning Commission which would allow electronic arcades in_
the City. This was seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons.
Mr. LeSage stated that some cities have a similar ordinance allowing arcades but
have a provision for checking the character of the proposed operator. Mayor Pro-
Tem Lemons felt that this provision would be necessary and should be a part of
the Use Permit.
Mayor Dorn moved that a substitute ordinance be enacted whereby the
recommendation submitted by the Police Chief, Recreation Director
and Community Development Director be approved. This was seconded
by Councilman Anderson and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
Mayor Dorn moved for the Ordinance to be read by title only and that
this constitutes the first.reading. This was seconded by Councilman
Anderson and passed on roll call vote with Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons voting
no.
Mr. Baxter read this ordinance by title only - "An Ordinance Amending Ordinance
100 and Chapter 17.48 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code."
ORDINANCE NO. 210, PROHIBITED CONDUCT ORDINANCE.
At the July 27._Council_meeting, a draft of_this ordinance was_ submitted
for'".rev_i_ew __'and comment. At that time Council -felt that a prohibited
conduct ordinance to regulate noise, unlawful conduct, offensive conduct and
requirements for live dances would be appropriate to.add to.the Municipal Code.
There were minor corrections to Section (i) as noted by Mr. Baxter.
Councilwoman Deutsch hoped that the Police Department would use this only under
extreme cases and only after the individual/business had been warned..

MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Ordinance No. 210 be read by title
only. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and carried unanimously by

Mr. Baxter read Ordinance No. 210 by title only - "An Ordinance Adding Chapter
9.28 to the Morro Bay Municipal Code."
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that this constitutes the first reading of
Ordinance No. 210. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and carried
unanimously by roll call vote.
A-7 ORDINANCE NO. 211, BICYCLE ORDINANCE.
The City of Morro Bay does not currently have an ordinance which regulates the
operation and use of bicycles in the City limits. The Police Department has
prepared such an ordinance for Council's consideration at this time.
Chief Olson stated that the provisions of the vehicle code that previously had
covered bicycle use no longer applies. Cities have been forced to adopt
comprehensive bicycle ordinances to assure the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists
and vehicle traffic within the City.
There was a.question concerning out of town persons driving,bicycles within the
City and not having a city license for their bicycles. The ordinance was changed
to indicate that only residents shall be required to license their bicycles.
MOTION: Councilman Anderson moved that Ordinance 211 as amended be read by
title only. This.was seconded by Mayor Dorn and carried unanimously
by roll call vote.
Mr. Baxter read Ordinance No. 211 by title only - "An Ordinance Adding Chapter
10.52 to the Morro Bay Municipal Code."

Ordinance No. 211. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and carried
unanimously by roll call vote.
B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
B-2 PROPOSED CLOSURE OF SOUTH STREET BETWEEN MAIN AND MONTEREY STREETS
This item was continued from the Council meeting of July 27 to allow for a further
study of the South Street proposal. At that meeting Council made the policy
determination that South Street should not be closed. Mr. Baxter stated that it
would now seem appropriate for the City to fulfill their obligations regarding
construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk and that the issue be closed as a
result of City action. Staff recommends that $1,000 be transferred from
contingencies to the Public Services Department,to'pay for the materials
associated with this project.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 10, 1981

MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the City fulfill its obligation on
the South Street project between Monterey and Main Streets and
approve the construction of curbs, gutters and sidewalks. If, at
the end of the fiscal year, the Public Services Department needs
additional funds as a result of this project, monies will be transferred
from contingencies at that time. This was seconded by Councilwoman
Ward and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
B-3 FEE SCHEDULE STUDY FOR CITY DEPARTMENTS.
Staff submitted the additional information that had been requested by Council
for them to evaluate the $3,500 appropriation request to hire temporary personnel
for the purpose of preparing a comprehensive fee schedule and study that would
recoup the actual cost for work performed. Asurvey was conducted by the Community
Development Director which revealed that the City would have generated an
additional $9,983 in revenue from fees charged in this department since January,
1981. It is reasonable to assume that there are fees charged in other departments
which would more than justify the costs of expenditure of funds to evaluate and
update the current fee structure. Staff would recommend transfer of $3,500
from contingencies to the Finance Department's budget to'hire contract personnel
to research and develop a master fee schedule that will recover actual city costs.
Other communities have already updated their fee schedules to recover actual
costs and Councilman Anderson asked if their statistics could be used in our case
instead of expending the funds for a study. Since the fees charged must be
directly associated with the costs of the labor involved under Proposition 4,
Mr. Baxter felt that a fee study for our city is necessary. Every city should
do this on an individual basis.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that $3,500 be transferred from Contingencies
to the Finance Department's budget to hire contract personnel to research
and develop a master fee schedule that will recover actual city costs.
This was seconded by Councilman Anderson and carried unanimously by
roll call vote.
B-4 APPROVAL OF SONIC CABLE TV FRANCHISE AGREEMENT.
Since there doesn't seem to be a final consensus on the cable TV agreement, Mr.
Baxter felt staff needed further direction on this matter. Staff would like to
know (1) whether or not Council feels that an agreement would be advisable, and
(2) if an agreement would be preferable, whether or not Council feels a rate
study would be necessary.
Mr. LeSage gave.a brief overview of -the problems to Council for their further
consideration. There was a general discussion among the Council and the
meeting was opened for public comment.
Fred Smith felt it didn't make sense to approve a contract for additional years
to the franchise.
Pat Neary felt the 15 year extension of the contract was excessive since he
felt the service was poor for this area.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 10, 1981

Speaking on behalf of several citizens, Lila Keiser stated dissatisfaction of
higher rates and poor reception.
Jim Ross felt that there should be a different rate for residence, apartments,
motels, and mobile homes. Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons did not see a difference.
Bob Blake felt that the service received from Sonic Cable TV in the past year has
tremendously improved. However, with the rapid improvements and changes in the
industry, he felt it would be hasty to commit the City to a 15 year contract.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that staff attempt to negotiate an agreement
with Sonic Cable TV that disregards a rate study, establishes a
reasonable starting rate with a 10 year contract term from the date of
signature of the agreement. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and passed
with the following roll call vote: Anderson - yes; Deutsch - no;
Dorn - yes; Lemons - yes; Ward - abstain.
A brief recess was called at 9:25 PM and the meeting reconvened at 9:35 PM.
B-5 ORDINANCE NO. 208, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 11 OF ORDINANCE 100 AND
no..
This ordinance was orignally submitted to Council at the meeting of July 27
and relates to the placement of modular units in single family zones.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Ordinance No. 208 be read by title
only. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and carried unanimously by
roll call vote.
Mr. Baxter read Ordinance No. 208 by title only - "An Ordinance Amending Section
11 of Ordinance 100 and Section 17.40.030 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code -

C-1 AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, RELA
Following the adoption of the 1981-82 Community Development budget, Mr. Crump
sent requests for proposals to consultant firms for professional services to
update the City's housing element of the General Plan. The first element for
consideration is housing in response to recOnt`•16gislati-ve guideline changes.
Staff is recommending the selection of Willdan Associates for preparation of a
Housing Element Update in the amount not to exceed $9,850 from the Community
Development budget. This amount would almost entirely deplete the general plan
funds budgeted for this fiscal year.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons was concerned that other elements of the General Plan
would need to be updated following adoption of the LCP which may have more
priority than the Housing Element. Mr. Crump mentioned that if any updates
are necessary following the adoption of the LCP, funds will.be available from
other sources (SB 90 and the Coastal Commission) to complete those projects.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved that Council approve the selection of Willdah
Associates for preparation of a Housing Element Update in the amount
not to exceed $9,850 from the Community Development Budget. This was
seconded by Mayor Dorn and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
C-2 CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR ABANDONMENT OF A PORTION OF PAULA AVENUE
The Public Services Department reviewed a request for a street abandonment. In
the near future, the City would not want to extend Pau.l:a Avenue. However,
Mr. Bressan didn't feel it would be a wise decision to abandon a street or
right-of-way when maintaining the right-of-way does not impose an undue hardship
on the adjacent property owners, and this appears to be the case.
Al Buss stated that the.reason he had submitted this request was to decide on a
proposed entry to his home which he hopes to -build when the moratorium is
lifted.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons felt that each street abandonment should be considered
separately instead of initiating a general rule.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that this proposed abandonment of a portion
of Paula Avenue be .set for public hearing. This was seconded by
Mayor Dorn and so carried.

C-3 PRESENTATION OF PRELIMINARY DRAFT REFUSE ORDINANCE FOR MANDATORY COLLECTION.
Mr. Bressan presented a draft which highlights the changes that his department
would propose for a refuse ordinance for mandatory collection. After input has
been received from the Council, a final document will be introduced.
Several points were brought up by Howard Gaines. He felt very strongly in (1)
specifying that the City go out to bid for any future garbage services since
mandatory collection would significantly change the contract; (2) making certain
that the performance bond, liability insurance and property damage insurance were
adequate (presently felt that the rates were too low); (3) setting standards for
the size of containers and specifying the responsible party to provide said
containers; (4) establishing a Franchise Board consisting of six residents who
would meet once a month with the mandatory presence of franchisees to answer
complaints, and if warranted, recommend to City Council any action that should
be taken.. The Franchise Board should also be furnished with audited CPA state-
ments every year to enable the Franchise Board to monitor the franchisee's
ability to perform; (5) changing Section 8.16.320 to include compost.
Pat Wagner, Morro Bay Garbage Company, had several concerns on the wording in
the draft ordinance. (1) Section 8.16.130 - suggested that the number "four"
should be deleted and multi -family units all be allowed dumpsters if they so
desire. (2) Section 9.16.200 (c) - wanted to ascertain that the City would be
doing the billing in this situation, which was agreed. (3) Section 8.16.220 -
wanted a.clarification on "immediate abutting residential area," which was given
by Mr. Bressan. (4) Suggested that a committee be formed comprised of two
Council members, staff and the Garbage Company to work the details of a proposed
ordinance out. It was the feeling of Council that staff work with the Garbage
Company to draft a proposed ordinance for Council's review and then a committee
can be formed if necessary.
It was felt by Mr. Gaines that the Garbage Company be obligated to pay a minimum
of $10,000/year, which would offset the City's charges for dumpsters.
This matter will be brought back to Council for a public hearing, according to
Mr. Bressan, at the August 24, 1981 meeting.

Staff is recommending that Council continue a temporary relationship with
California -West until at such time as the Phase I portion of the project has
been completed. This firm would perform coordinating work with the assessor,
act as the City's representative in dealings with the tenants, advise the City
and the tenants regarding unreported income and act as the City's agent to
collect unpaid rents, establish a basis for standardization of city files and
financial records and other tasks related to the Phase I portion of the project.
The fee for these tasks would not exceed $7,000.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked how much money would be generated as a result of the
expenditures. A total of $10,000 generated revenue was stated by Mr. Baxter.
He further mentioned that the County Assessor was the only one who could
assess the County leases and felt that a complete appraisal was needed for all
properties.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Council authorize staff to prepare a
contract extension with California -West for an amount not to exceed
$7,000 and a term of August 1, 1981 - January 31, 1982. She further
moved that a market value appraisal and market rent analysis contract
be negotiated with the County Assessor and that the City Administrator
be authorized to sign both contracts on behalf of the City. This was
seconded by Councilwoman Ward and passed on a roll call vote with
Councilman Anderson abstaining.
B-2 DEANNA DAVIS LEASE RENEWAL - LEASE SITES 68 AND 68W.
The temporary lease extension for Deanna Davis will expire August 1, 1981. Mrs.
Davis indicated she would be willing to agree to an additional temporary
extension until October 31, 1981. Staff recommends that a six month extension
of the lease to Deanna Davis through January 31, 1982 be granted.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that a six month lease extension be granted to
Deanna Davis until January 31, 1982. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn
and passed on roll call vote with Councilman Anderson abstaining.
B-3 REVIEW OF'HITTLE'S LANDING REQUEST FOR RELIEF OF HARDSHIP
Subsequent to the last Council meeting, Mr. Bressan stated that staff had been
requested to attempt to work out a compromise between the problems the Hittle's
were encountering at their current lease site and attempt to resolve any code
problems faced in the lease areas involved.
There was a great deal of misunderstanding as to the intent of the Council action.
The Yacht Club had not been notified of the original meeting and had not been
given a chance to present their case. Staff has brought this back to Council for
a re -hearing and to further ask Council for further direction on how to proceed
on this matter. At this time a compromise has not been reached. Mr. Bressan
outlined the problems of both sides (Yacht Club and Hittle).
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - JULY 27, 1981

The safety and fairness of the waterfront was Jim Funk's, harbor master, main
concern. He felt that Hittle's should be allowed to use a portion of the
street end as the Yacht Club is presently doing. This would increase the safety
of the area.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons felt that even if Hittle was allowed to build out into the
street end that it would create problems with other leases requesting the same
privileges.
The Yacht Club did build their dock in good faith and Mr. Bressan felt that some
compromise should be made..
Mr. L. J. Devlin, Morro Bay Yacht Club, stated that in 1966 the use of the street
end was established. The initial dock space was awarded to the Yacht Club by the
City for the intent of taking care of transient boats. The dock was expended to
allow the Yacht Club space for their own members. When Hittle's Landing established
business, the Yacht Club was required to change their rafting policy to two boats
out and then three. The Yacht Club currently has 180 family memberships and
would not like to lose any space. The total number of transient boats last year
were 610. Since March 3 of this year, the Yacht Club has taken care of 370 boats.
Each boat has an average of four people and stay an average of three -five days.
These individuals are eating in town, buying fuel, etc. and add to the economy
of Morro Bay.
John Nolton, Morro Bay Yacht Club, stated that the Council should address the
55 foot boat issue which will still have an overhang of 10-12 feet, which means
you don't have enough dockage space. He felt that the City may not be getting
as large a return from the Yacht Club as they are from Hittle's but the amount of
money spent in the City by the individuals coming to stay in town for awhile
certainly compensates for this factor.
Cliff Smith, Harbor Advisory Board, recommended as a temporary measure that
the Hittle's be allowed to tie up their 48 foot boat only for advertising.
The 55 foot boat would have to be left outside the 48 foot boat. This would
give the Yacht Club room to move their dinghies back and forth.
There was a general discussion from the Council on this matter. Mr. Bressan
stated that he has two new alternatives he would like to discuss with both
parties and have this matter brought back to Council in two weeks. This was
agreed to by all present with the request that Mr. Bressan also review the past
tapes on this matter from previous Council meetings.

BAY CITY COUNCIL
- JULY 27, 1981
Mr. Crump stated.that these two items constitute a single action and have been
reviewed by the Planning Commission at an earlier meeting. The ordinances that
are before Council relate to State legislation which provides that local govern-
ment may not preclude mobile homes manufactured in 1974 standards for placement
on permanent foundations in single family zoned lots. In order to address the
legislation as well as control the placement of mobile homes within the Ciy of
Morro Bay, the Planning Commission evaluated the standards and also looked at
several sections of the City to determine if a compatible area for such placement
existed. The Planning Commission held public hearings in June and are submitting
to Council for their adoption standards which are included in Case No. ZOA 03-81
and zone changes which are in Case No. CZ 01-81.
Mrs. Kennedy was concerned about allowing this use in this particular area since
a lot of families in the area have improved their lots and she didn't feel these
homes are compatible to those in the area.
Modular or mobile homes have improved greatly according to Wendy Calmes in the
past few years and the individuals in this area would not be offended by the
use of these units in this area.
Bill Sodder felt that this opportunity for young people is marvelous as they have
a chance to build equity, in a home. The modular homes, in his opinion, are
constructed much like a regular home.
According to Jim Maul, it is almost impossible for young people to build homes
today. They are going to have to go to manufactured housing, which would be
the only affordable housing in the area.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that the public hearing be closed and that
the ordinances for Case No. ZOA 03-81 and CZ 01-81 be read by title
only. Mayor Dorn seconded the motion and it carried unanimously by
roll call vote.
Mr. Baxter read the ordinances by title only - "An Ordinance Amending Section 11
of Ordinance 100 and Section 17.40.030 of the Morro Bay Municipal Code —Case
No. ZOA 03-81" and "An Ordinance Amending Section.5103.2 of Ordinance 65 Pursuant

MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that this cdnstitutes the first reading
for ordinances dealing with Case No. ZOA_03-81 and CZ 01-81. This
was seconded by Mayor Dorh`and carried 1.unanimously by roll call vote.
There was a brief recess at 9:25 PM and the meeting was -reconvened at�9:40,PM.

B-4 PROPOSED CLOSURE OF SOUTH STREET BETWEEN MAIN AND MONTEREY STREETS.
This item was carried over from your meeting of July 13, 1981 at the request of
the property owners. As noted in the letter from Dale and Katherine Mitchell, a
meeting was held between Mr. Mitchell, Mr. McMullen and Mr. Baxter regarding the
South Street request. The condominium owners have agreed that the following
would be a reasonable solution to the mini -park proposal:
(1) That the City allow temporary closure of South Street at the north and
mid -points with gates that would be approved by the Fire Department and the
Public Services Department.
(2) At their own expense the Mitchells be allowed to make certain plantings in
the public right-of-way adjacent to their property on to the middle of the street
area and t"iat such plantings be at their own expense and that they would maintain
these plantings at their own expense and that the design and type of plantings
be first approved by the City.
(3) That the City pave the northernly half of the street with red rock or
similar material so that Fire trucks can access the project from the South Street
side.
(4) That the City complete the installation of the curb, gutter and sidewalks
along the condominium side of the project as had been agreed earlier.
It is understood by all parties concerned that at such time as the City will
need through access on South Street that the gates and the plantings will be
removed. If this proposal is approved, it would be appropriate for the City
Attorney to draft documents that would guarantee maintenance obligations be tied
to the property in the event that the ownership of the property were to change.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved for the approval of staff's recommendation for a
mini -park proposal on a portion of South Street between Main and
Monterey Streets. This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and
failed on roll call vote (Anderson - no; Deutsch - yes; Dorn - yes;
Lemons -no; Ward - no).
Councilwoman Deutsch asked what the costs associated with putting in the curbs,
gutters and sidewalks would be for this project. Mr. Bressan stated that the
current rate is $6/foot; however, the cost can be cut by approximately one-half
if force account labor is used.
There was a concern by Councilwoman Ward and Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons that the
street should not be closed. If the street is closed, they,felt it might be
difficult for a future Council to reopen the street for full use. However,
there was no objection to the city providing the curbs, gutters and sidewalks
for this Project.
Mr. Mitchell reiterated the facts that had been presented at previous Council
meetings for the benefit of the Council and the members of the public present.

MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that the City install the curbs, gutters and
sidewalks on this project, and close the street temporarily. This motion
died for lack of second.
An encroachment permit would be required according to Mr. LeSage on city property.
This would state either a fixed term or expressly state that it can be revolked.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the City install the curbs and gutters
on Mr. McMullen's development and not across the street. This was
seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so carried.
It was felt by Mr. McMullen that the City should also be responsible for installing
the sidewalks on this project since a promise had been made by prior staff members.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved that this be substituted for the original motion, the
matter be referred back to staff for a further recommendation and the
matter be scheduled for the next Council meeting. This was seconded
by Councilman Anderson and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
B-5 PROPOSED SUPPORT OF 5B 626, LEGISLATION TO REMOVE UNSATISFACTORY HOUSING
FI FIdFN C GD M TWI: rIU1 z"" 7l1nt[
This matter had been continued from the Council Meeting of July 13. The
legislation, which is still pending, proposes to completely eliminate the Coastal
Commission's jurisdiction over housing. The basic element of the legislation
adds provisions to the housing element law to insure that Coastal Cities make
substantial efforts to provide affordable housing but allows each city and county
the option to determine what types of programs are feasible and where and how to
locate housing.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that Council go on record to support
SS 626 in concept. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and carried
unanimously by roll call vote.
C. NEW BUSINESS
C-1 INCREASE IN HOURLY RATE FOR CITY ATTORNEY.
As noted to Council in your budget sessions, the City Attorney has requested that
his hourly rate be raised from $55 to $70 per hour for work which he performs
for the City over and above his monthly retainer.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved for approval of the hourly rate from $55 to $70 for
the City Attorney. This was seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons and
carried unanimously by roll call vote.
C-2 ACCEPTANCE OF WEED ABATEMENT CHARGES.
According to the Director of Public Services, the weed abatement program for fiscal
1980-81 has been completed and charges have been assessed for properties on which
work had been completed. In accordance with the Municipal Code, Council must

accept the charges and authorize the clerk to file them with the County Auditor
for collection along with general city taxes. Any protests for these charges will
be heard during a public hearing at the Council's first meeting in February.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved for the acceptance of the weed abatement charges and
authorize the City Clerk to file these with the County Auditor for
collection with general city taxes. This was seconded by Mayor
Pro-Tem Lemons and carried unanimously by roll call vote.
C-3 UTILITY RATE SURCHARGES FOR OUT OF CITY USERS.
The Finance Director submitted a report in which he noted there are certain out
Of city users on the water system who are not affected by the current changes
in water rates. In the past the City users had paid 50 cents per cubic foot and
the out of city users had paid $1.00 per cubic foot. When Council took action
to raise the water rates, they only increased the rates for in -city users.
Currently the in -city users and out -of -city users pay the same rate of $1.000
per cubic foot. At this point staff would like direction from Council as to:
(1) Whether the rates for out -of -city users should continue to be double of
that paid by in -city users.
(2) That out -of -city users would pay the current rate plus a surcharge. There
are few people who fit in this category, however, a clarification should be
made so that the new billing will be consistent and there will be less confusion.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Council agree conceptually that some
difference should be retained between in -city and out -of -city users,
that staff temporarily double the rate for out -of -city users, and that
staff will study this matter and bring it back to Council. This was
seconded by Councilman Anderson and carried unanimously by roll call
vote.
C-4 FEE SCHEDULE STUDY FOR CITY DEPARTMENTS.

C-6 CALIFORNIA WATER PROJECT -RECLAMATION PROJECT STUD
Late last calendar year the Department of Water Resources approached the City
and indicated that the Department would be willing to perform a feasibility
study for the city regarding the usability of reclamation if the City so desired.
The study would be at no cost but would utilize funds that the City has set aside
thrugh DWR for the purposes of bringing in imported water. Since the City does
not contract through the Department but is part of the County network for imported
water, the City had to ask permission from the County Board of Supervisors regarding
the feasibility study for reclaimed water. On June 15, 1981 the Board of
Supervisors agreed to authorize the Department of Water Resources suggestion and
approve the City's feasibility study on the condition that the City indemnify the
County regarding any liability that would be incurred for the reclamation study
to be done. This matter is now being brought to Council for approval.
Mr. Bressan stated that the reclamation project, if feasible, will be for an
agricultural trade-off of reclaimed water for domestic water, which is currently
being used for agricultural purposes. This same program is being proposed in
other areas.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved that Council reject the offer by the
Department of Water Resources. This was seconded by Councilman
Anderson and so carried.
C-7
CIL REGARDING .USE CHANGE AP
These requests are examples of changes that periodically come before Council
for use changes along the Embarcadero. In discussing these requests with the
Director of Community Development, it is his opinion that there is no distinct
policy which specifies the procedures for which these requests are to be
handled. The first method is for the request to automatically be sent to the
Planning Commission for their review and determination regarding zoning and
land use and then with a recommendation from them to the Council. The second
method for review would be to allow Council to make a preliminary determination
as to whether or not they would consider such use`on"the lease site' -and then
after their comment that the matter'be 'r6ferred.to the,Planning Commission for
their review for zoning and land use'and-subsequent return to Council for formal
adoption/rejection.

and then forward them to the Council for adoption/rejection. This was

Mr. Bressan gave a brief report on this matter. An anonymous donor has made an
offer towards the construction of a watch tower on the Harbor Patrol Office. The
purpose of the tower is to view the harbor entrance during inclement weather than
detect whether or not boats are in trouble and require assistance. Mr. Funk
mentioned that he would like to proceed with this project with private funds and
a local architect has agreed to do the plans.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved that the Council conceptually approve the construction
of a watch tower and observation deck on the Harbor Patrol Office
utilizing donated funds. Council would further direct staff to pursue
activity related to the project until at such time as the feasibility
of the tower is known. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and so

to review and that bid was submitted by the Chamber of Commerce. The bid amount
total involved is $12,999.50 for fiscal year 1981-82. Staff has reviewed the
bid and is•of the opinion that the Chamber is a responsible bidder and would be
able to carry out the terms of the agreement as outlined in the bid specifica-
tions.
Speaking on behalf of.the Chamber, Betty Florecky mentioned that the amount
awarded is not to exceed five percent of the bed tax according to Measure A.
This year has been good and she felt that the amount awarded should not be
limited to the dollar amount in staff's recommendation.

D-4 SONIC CABLE TV FRANCHISE AGREEMENT.
A proposed agreement and draft ordinance is being submitted to Council for
consideration and would formalize the relationship between the City and Sonic
Cable TV for television services in the City of Morro Bay. Some of the main
points are:
(1) Sonic will do a rate study for the City of Morro Bay and rates will be determined
by such study.
(2) That Sonic will provide the City of Morro Bay, on a confidential basis,
information on the financial status of their business.
(3) That the rate study will be performed by an independent consultant which at
a later time the City can reject and employ their own and at such time if the
City and the Cable Company's consultants cannot agree that a third party will
be selected to make a final determination.
(4) That Sonic will comply with FCC.performance standards as included by reference
in the agreement.
(5) That Sonic will agree to an interim rate schedule which is referenced as
Exhibit A of the agreement (residential rates - $7.50/month; motels and hotels -
50 percent of residential rate; apartments and mobile home parks - residential
rate less 15 percent).
The agreement would allow Sonic to make annual adjustments in their rates once
they have been determined that would amount to no greater than 75 percent of
changes in the Consumer Price Index without prior approval of the City Council.
The agreement would extend Sonic's franchise for a 15 year period from the date
of execution of the agreement and would require Sonic to forego their right of
deregulation for the duration of the franchise. There will be representatives
from Sonic available to respond to questions should Council have any.
There was a general discussion by the Council as to the feasibility of a rate
study. It was the opinion of the Council that a rate study would not be needed
and a base would be used of $8.00

The public hearing on the proposed water rate increase was opened for comments.
Mayor Dorn requested those who do wish to speak to speak to this subject only.
Neil Kline asked if the rationale behind the proposed rates could be reviewed,
which Mr. Bressan did for everyone present.
Support for the proposed program was given by Grace Melton who felt that the
rates should have been raised years ago. She felt the rate increase would be
a reasonable approach to help solve the problems of today.
Wendy Calmes felt it was time the city put the rates on a paying basis and put the
cost of doing business among the people who would benefit.
Urging strong fiscal responsibilities by the Council, Al Hall felt that everyone
should pay their fair share of water and sewer rates.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved to close the public hearing on proposed water rate
increase. This was seconded by Councilman Anderson and so carried.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked if a review of the data available had been made to
determine whether or not a rate could be charged at varying rates depending on
how much water was used. Mr. Bressan stated that the data had been reviewed and
the City should consider a progressive rate, which is supported by the Coastal
Commission, EPA, and the State. This would also encourage water conservation.
Staff recommended a three year recovery which would allow for a capital improve-
ment program in the future.
MOTION: Councilwoman Deutsch moved to approve staff's recommendation of a three
year recovery period on the water rate increase and that as soon as
possible a user profile and user categories be developed. This was
seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons and carried unanimously by roll call
vote.
D-2 PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED SEWER RATE INCREASE.
The public hearing on the proposed sewer rate increase was opened for public
comment.
Neil Kline stated that usage is based on a percentage of the water used and didn't
feel this was fair. He felt that more detail should be given to the public.

Mr. Bressan mentioned that less water usage is dangerous for the sewer system.
In favor of raising the rates, Wendy Calmes felt they should be raised in
accordance with the EPA rules.
Peter Diffley felt that there was no doubt that the rates must be raised. However,
he felt that there are possibly other ways in which to help finance the Wastewater
Treatment Plant. He suggested that the City issue grant anticipation notes, which
carry low interest rates since they are tax free. This would also help the cash
flow problem. He also felt that the user charge system would help pay the user
rate requirement for the Plant.
Elizabeth Perkins suggested that the bed tax be raised if the tourists are creating
a big demand on the system.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the public hearing on proposed sewer
rate increases be closed. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and
so carried.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that the proposed sewer rates be adopted
with the modification that the special rates for commercial users have
a $4.00 minimum or whatever the minimum is equal to single family
residences. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and carried unanimously
by roll call vote.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that staff be directed to report on the
possibility of grant anticipation or any other programs which would
relate to the problem. This was seconded by Mayor Dorn and so
carried.
MOTION: Councilwoman Ward moved for the adoption of Resolution 67-81, establishing
user rates and related fees and deposits for water and sewer rates.
This was seconded by Councilman Anderson and carried unanimously by
roll call vote.
A brief recess was called at 9:45 PM, and the meeting was reconvened at 9:50 PM.

C-2 PROPOSED SUPPORT OF SB 626, IMPLEMENTATION OF STATEWIDE HOUSING POLICY.
The City of Half Moon Bay has sent out a notice to all cities in the Coastal
Zone requesting that they support SB 626 (Mello). The intent of SB 626 is to
remove some of the unsatisfactory housing requirements that have been previously
placed upon coastal communities. The legislation is supported by the League of
California Cities.
A return of local control on this issue was favored by Grace Melton. The housing
plan would be put back into our Local Coastal Plan and not made a part of the
Coastal Act. She also wanted to be sure that this doesn't open a door for a
statewide housing commission.
Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons asked that this matter be delayed until the July 27 meeting
to allow staff to bring back more information on this bill. This was agreed to
by all.

MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved that the City continue.. our support of the lawsuit
with an additional allocation of $250, which would total $500 submitted
on the lawsuit, and the City suggest that all communities pay equally
based on some formula. This was seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons and

E-2 LITIGATION REGARDING CALIFORNIA MEN'S COLONY EXPANSION.
Earlier Council had expressed opposition to the expansion of the California
Mens Colony in that such expansion would have an adverse impact on the Chorro
water basin. Since that time, the City of San Luis Obispo, in conjunction with
the County of San Luis Obispo, has been preparing to file an injunction to
prohibit the State from such expansion until the State has complied with the
filing of"an EIR and held public hearings regarding their proposed expansion.
If the City wishes to participate in this joint effort, the -financial participa-
tion would be limited to a. maximum of $300.
While the County of San Luis Obispo has less than one percent of the population
at the facility and the City of Los Angeles have over one-half of the prison
population, Mayor Dorn felt there should be a formula whereby no county should
have more facilities than they need to take care of the prisoner population in
that County.
MOTION: Mayor Pro-Tem Lemons moved that we allocate $300 toward the opposition
of the California Mens Colony expansion and that the City go on record
as willing to join the City and County of San Luis Obispo in this
action. This was seconded by Councilwoman Deutsch and carried
unanimously by roll call vote.

Department budgets by the Council.
Chief Olson requested that the .Council.consider contributing our pro-rata share
to fund a narcotics task force for tfie County. The -State is withdrawing their
narcotics related task force person and a means of introducing this to.the local
governments: The maximum cost to the City would be approximately $7,000. Since
a need currently exists for a narcotics task force, staff would recommend that
Council approve this item. This task force will consist of two sheriff deputies,
a SLO City Officer, and a State Narcotics agent. If the local governments support
this proposal, the State will pay 1/6 of the salary for the state narcotics
agent and provide"office space.
MOTION: Mayor Dorn moved that the City include this item in the 1981-82 budget
and instruct the City Administrator to "find the money for this request
from the budget. This was seconded by Councilwoman Ward and carried
