1964. Several other leases use the starting point of 124.7, the
C.L.I. on January 1, 1969, and staff is recommending that these
"Pipkiul' leases be changed to use the January 1, 1969 C.L.I. in order
to prevent the valuation of the lease sites from becoming so high
that the rental is prohibitive.

Mr. Jeanette requested an "in -kind" donation of $225.00 from
the City of Morro Bay to be used for the payment of three months'
rent on the Grass Roots Center building at 931 Main Street.
Councilman Keiser stated that this program has not been
funded by the Federal Government and the Council should not donate
funds until assurance of the necessary funding is given.
Councilman Donohoo noted his concern over city finances and
stated he was not in favor of such a donation.
Mr. Joseph Giannini and Mr. Frank Molina spoke in support

any objections or protests from property owners liable for assess-
ments for these improvements.
Mayor Mitchell declared the meeting open for public hearing.
Councilman McConaghay requested that he be excused from regular
Council duty since he had a conflict of interest in this matter.
He noted that a misunderstanding had occurred relative to the price
of an 18" strip of concrete in front of his property and the
adjacent property. The difference amounted to some 35fi per foot or
a total of $30.00. He requested that this charge be corrected.
Mr. Little suggested two methods of handling this matter:
(1) Elimination of these charges from the assessment and negotiation
with the property owners concerning the charge; or (2) Changing the
assessment figure to reflect the original price.
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that this charge be removed from
the assessment rolls and that the City Administrator
be authorized to negotiate with the property owners
concerning the charges. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Walters and carried by voice vote with
Councilman McConaghay abstaining from voting.
A property owner from the improvement district questioned staff
concerning the method of payment for this assessment. He was
informed that property owners will be given a period of five days
in which to pay the assessment. If the charge is not paid in this
period of time, the assessment will be added to the property tax
bill to be paid in two equal installments, without interest.
There being no further comments, Mayor Mitchell declared the
hearing closed.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the Report of the
Superintendent of Streets be approved by the Council.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Walters and

Works".
Councilman McConaghay recommended that the Council modify the

parking on the west side, has been approved by the Planning Commission
and also by the City Council. However, since the installation of
curbs, gutters, and sidewalks along the Embarcadero, it has come to
the attention of staff members that diagonal parking is not feasible
in this area. As a result of the concern expressed by businessmen
on the waterfront, the Planning Commission has studied this plan.in
depth and is now recommending that the plan be amended to provide
for parallel parking on both sides of the Embarcadero, with limited
time and tow -away time posted, and to provide parallel parking on
the west side of Front Street between Harbor Street and Morro Bay
Boulevard. This amendment to the original plan would give a greater
number of vehicle parking spaces for the area. Mr. Little displayed
a chart showing the area involved and explaining the proposed change
in parking.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the original resolution
approving the Embarcadero Parking Plan be amended to
include parallel parking on both sides of the
Embarcadero. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Keiser.
Mr. Little informed the Council members that it will be necessary
to adopt a resolution amending the original resolution approving
the parking plan.
Councilman Donohoo amended his motion to direct
staff to prepare the necessary resolution amending
the original resolution in accordance with the
recommendations of the Planning Commission.
The amendment was accepted by Councilman Keiser
and the motion was unanimously carried.
RECESS: 8:50 p.m. RECONVENED: 9:04 p.m.
B-5 Review of group insurance proposals
Mr. Little reviewed the reasons for the Council determination
to request proposals from various insurance companies for the city's
employee group health policy. He stated proposals have been
received and a comparison sheet prepared; however, he suggested
that a committee of the Council be appointed to study the different
proposals and make recommendations to the Council.
Discussion was held concerning the necessity of consulting
the city employees in this matter and the costs of policies of
varying coverage.
Mayor Mitchell appointed Councilman Walters and himself as
a committee to review these proposals, consult with the city
employees, and make recommendations to the City Council.

Also present: Parks and Recreation Commissioners Domenghini, Wise,
and Chairman Wieman
Mayor Mitchell stated this was a joint meeting of the City
Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission and asked for a
discussion of matters of mutual interest.
Councilman Keiser noted her disappointment at the absence of
two Parks and Recreation Commissioners.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that the meeting be adjourned.
The motion died for the lack of a second.
Councilman Keiser then noted her dissatisfaction with the
services rendered to the city by the Recreation Director. She
addressed her remarks to Mr. Curaza, commenting on his "lack of
closeness" with local children, his failure to schedule recreation
teen dances, and his reported absence from scheduled meetings.
Mr. Curaza noted he might not be close enough•to children
participating in the recreation program; however, if so, he was
not aware of it. He also indicated that he had had difficulty
in scheduling teen dances because of conflict with school activities,
but was planning a dance for December 12.
Councilman Keiser inquired regarding the legality of the
Morro Bay Rockers collecting fees to pay for the services of
square dance callers and handling the funds themselves rather than
depositing them with the city. She was informed that this group
was a private organization and had no connection with the city.
Chairman Wieman commented on the methods presently used by
the city in budgeting funds for recreation programs. He referred
to the recent discussion concerning the "Gourmet Cooking Class",
and noted that this is but one example of the self-supporting
programs that might become available to the Recreation Department.
The Parks and Recreation Commission has requested Council consider-
ation of possible methods of handling self-supporting programs
whereby the funds could be collected from the participants and
deposited with the city in a special fund to be used for the program.
This would provide for expansion of the recreation program without
requiring additional budgeted funds from the city general fund.
If this method would not be permissible for a general law city,
Chairman Wieman suggested that funds for self-supporting programs
be deposited to the general fund with the agreement that the
Council would approve the necessary transfer of the funds to the
Recreation fund for disbursement.
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Special Meeting November 19, 1970

Discussion was held concerning the legality of establishing
a special account for the deposit and disbursement of funds for
self-supporting recreation programs. Council members indicated
approval of such a plan, with the approval of the City Attorney.
Further lengthy discussion was held concerning methods of
handling funds for self-supporting recreation programs.
Councilman Keiser commented on the qualifications of
recreation leaders such as Pete Tomosovich and Christine Moon,
noting that the city should plan ahead for positions for leaders
such as these who are doing an excellent job and would like to
remain in Morro Bay and work for the city.
Discussion was held concerning the self-supporting recreation
programs presently scheduled and the methods now being used to
handle these funds.
Mayor Mitchell suggested that some consideration be given to
providing a "drop -in" recreation center where teen-agers could
spend their idle time. Chairman Wieman stated that programs such
as this have been tried by various cities, but have not been
successful. The teen-agers lose interest unless active teen-age
leadership exists.
Chairman Wieman requested an indication from the Council con-
cerning the funds available for the recreation program for the next
fiscal year. He was informed that the program can not be expanded
with additional funds from the city, and the Commission should
therefore plan their budget at the same level as the 1970-71 budget.,
Further lengthy discussion was held concerning the duties of
the Recreation Director, the programs offered by the Recreation
Department, and other matters of mutual interest to the Parks and
Recreation Commission and the City Council.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that the meeting be adjourned.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Donohoo and
unanimously carried.

and staff was directed to re-advertize the project, separating the
various phases of the well rehabilitation work. He presented

necessary engineering fees. He informed the Council that the final
break -down on the bids and the final engineering costs are not
available at this time. Mr. Madden recommended that the bid
received from Rhein Corporation in the amount of $13,305 for the
chlorination facility be rejected as invalid for the following
reasons:

A. H. Hoebel on Lease Sites No. 74 and 74W
Mr. -Little presented the sublease for the Council's consider-
ation. He noted that the document has been reviewed by staff and
he recommended Council approval on the condition that Mr. Hoebel
furnishes the city with the necessary insurance coverage.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the City Council approve
this sublease on the condition that it will not be
delivered until the city receives the necessary
insurance policy. The motion was seconded by Council-
man McConaghay and unanimously carried.
B-8 Consideration of Garing, Taylor & Associates' engineering
services
Councilman Keiser suggested that the Council consider hiring
a Public Works Director who is a qualified civil engineer.
Councilman Donohoo stated that this alternative would be
much more costly to the city than the engineering services of
Garing, Taylor & Associates.
Councilman McConaghay agreed that the city should consider
hiring a civil engineer as Public Works Director. He stated that
the city could not consider increasing the fees for the services
of the city engineering firm during the remainder of this fiscal
year.
Mayor Mitchell agreed and requested that staff make a study
as to the cost of a full-time engineer and the necessary staff and
equipment.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that the Council advise
Garing, Taylor & Associates that the increase can not
be considered for the remainder of this fiscal year
and that the Mayor appoint a committee of Council to
work with the City Administrator in studying the
possibility of hiring a full-time engineer. The
motion was seconded by Mayor Mitchell and unanimously
carried.
Mayor Mitchell appointed Councilmen Donohoo and McConaghay
to serve on this committee with the City Administrator.

and the Chlorination Facility. Mr. Little advised the Council
members that staff felt it would be possible for the city to
save approximately $3,000 in inspection fees by using city forces.
This would reduce the cost of this project to approximately
$70,500 which is about $9,000 more than the amount budgeted.
Mr. Little recommended that the Council take the additional $9,000
from the $20,000 budgeted for water exploration and land
acquisition, since staff feels it may not be necessary to use
this full amount for water exploration.
Councilman McConaghay noted his disagreement with the
suggestion to use part of the budgeted funds for water exploration
for this project.

Mr. Little explained that this. method is an alternative to
using money from the reserve fund. He noted that if it becomes

necessary to spend the entire $20,000 for water exploration later

the amount used for this project.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the recommendation of
the City Administrator be approved and the funds be
taken from the $20,000 budgeted for water exploration
and land acquisition.
Councilman McConaghay requested an amendment to the motion
to include the provision that if the full $20,000 is
needed later, the money be replaced to that account from
the reserve fund.
The amendment was accepted by Councilman Donohoo. The
motion was seconded by Mayor Mitchell and unanimously
carried.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the Council award the
contract for Item #1 to Harbor Electric in the amount
of $15,080; for Item #2 to Floyd Wells in the amount
of $23,760; Item #3 to Smee's Plumbing in the amount
of $6,206; and the chlorination facility to C. W.
Taber Engineering in the amount of $16,671.54. The
motion was seconded by Mayor Mitchell and unanimously
carried.
4. Review of leasing policies
Mr. Madden reviewed the primary trust purposes for the tidelands,
noting that the city administers some 49 leases and use permit agree-
ments for waterfront property. He explained that the leases are of
three different types: "County", "Pipkin", and "City" leases.
(1) "County" leases. The city holds 23 of these
leases. Council members were each given actual "county"
leases to refer to as the City Attorney and City
Administrator pointed out the basic provisions of
this.group of leases. Mr. Madden stated that these
leases provide for re-evaluation by the County
Assessor each five years with an adjustment of the
yearly rental to 68 of the new full cash value
appraisal. The first five-year period came shortly
after incorporation while the city was in direct
litigation with the county and therefore a re-evaluation
of the leases was not made at that time. The second
five-year period will be up beginning in January of
next year, with 14 leases to be re-evaluated during
1971, 6 during 1972, 1 during 1973, and 2 during 1974,
None of these leases has a percentage of the gross
provision.
(2) "Pipkin" leases. The city holds 7 of these leases.
which were entered into pursuant to the terms of the
settlement of the Pipkin litigation. These leases
are for a basic term of 50 years, commencing October 1,
1968. These leases contain no percentage'of gross
MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
Adjourned Regular Meeting December 1, 1970
Page Three
sales rental provision; they provide for one re -appraisal
at the end of the first 25 years; the rental is based on
6% per year of the valuation of the property ($3.50 per
square foot of land and $2.00 per square foot of water);
and provide for an annual adjustment of the rental
according to the change in the Cost of Living Index for
the Los Angeles area. Until October 1 of this year,
the old "county" rental was in effect for these leases.
Effective October 1, the new rental based on the Pipkin
valuation went into effect, adjusted in proportion to
the change in the Cost of Living Index for the previous
calendar year. The next rental adjustment will occur
on July 1, 1971.
(3) "City" leases. The city holds 5 of these leases,
which are a modification of the "Pipkin" lease. These
leases provide for a percentage of the gross income from
sales of services or products with a minimum guaranteed
rental as in the Pipkin leases. The guaranteed minimum
rental is adjusted annually according to the change
in the Cost of Living Index. Mr. Madden noted that these
leases are in accordance with the policies of the State
Lands Commission with regard to the percentage rental
provision.
Mr. Madden mentioned briefly the fourth type of tenancy which
is a Use Permit. The city has several of these agreements which are
for a term of one year only and are reviewed and renewed annually
by the Council.
Mr. Madden stated that the basic lease policy of the city to
date has been largely determined by the action of the Council in
granting leases on an individual basis.
Mr. Little informed the Council members that the County
Assessor's office has furnished the city with the present full
cash value of the "County" leases which are due for re-evaluation
in the near future. He presented an information sheet showing the
names of lessees, lease sites, the present valuation, the new
valuation, the "Pipkin" valuation, the percentage difference
between the new valuation and the "Pipkin" valuation, the present
yearly rental, and the new yearly rental for the leases in question.
He noted that staff feels an inequity may exist when the new rental
becomes effective because the new county valuation ranges from
73.5% to 164.4% of the "Pipkin" valuation of waterfront property.
It was noted that since none of these leases were re -appraised
at the end of the first five-year period, the lessees have had a
"windfall" for five years and should now be prepared to accept an
increased rental.
Further lengthy discussion was held among members of the Council
and the staff concerning the inequities of the increased rental,
and the possible alternative for the lessees of negotiating with
the city for a percentage rental lease.
Mr. Madden noted that the city is obligated under the terms
of the tidelands trust to secure a fair rental for the waterfront
property, but that it is desirable to have successful and healthy
businesses on the waterfront.

Councilman McConaghay suggested that the city communicate with
14 leaseholders who are scheduled for a rental increase in 1971 and
advise them that they have two alternatives: (1) pay the increased
rental as provided in their present lease; or (2) negotiate with the
city for a "city" percentage lease.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the lessees with "county"
type leases which are up for re -appraisal in 1971 be
advised of the new rental which will be effective
according to the re -appraisal by the County Assessor
and of their alternative of negotiating with the city
for a percentage rental lease prior to a set date in
December of this year; and that this procedure be
followed for all"county"type leases prior to their
re -appraisal dates in 1971, 1972, 1973, and 1974.
The motion was seconded by Mayor Mitchell and
unanimously carried.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that the motion be amended
to provide for notification only to those lessees
whose new valuation as set by the County Assessor
is above the "Pipkin" valuation. The motion was
seconded by Councilman McConaghay and unanimously
carried.
Mr. Madden noted that the rental increases for 1971 based
on the Assessor's re -appraisal for those leases will result in
a $12,300 increase of revenue per year to the city. The increase
for all county leases up for re -appraisal through 1974 will result
in an $18,500 increase.
5. Recommendation on proposal of Jim Maul for development
of Lease Site No. 10
Mr. Little reported that.staff has negotiated with Mr. Maul,
at the direction of the Council, for the development of Lease Site
No. 10. Staff recommended that due to the problems created by the
variety of percentage rentals for each small business to be
located within Mr. Maul's "arcade -type" building, an additional
use of "arcade -type building" be added to the schedule of percentage
rentals and that Mr. Maul's development be considered a rental
operation. Mr. Little noted that if this were done and the
percentage rental set at 12% and if Mr. Maul had 85% occupancy
of his building, the city would receive only the minimum rental;
but if he had 100% occupancy, the city would receive rental 26%
above the minimum guaranteed rental.
After further lengthy discussion relative to the recommendation
of staff, the following motion was made:
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that the city establish the use
"arcade -type building", add this use to the schedule
of percentage rentals, and affix 12% as the percentage
for this use. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Donohoo and unanimously carried,

surrounding City Hall for comparison with the purchase price of
the Division of Highways property on Quintana Road. He stated
the two -block area, land only, is appraised at $79,080. The appraised
value of the improvements is $126,804. Using the same valuation
per square foot as that of the Division of Highways property,
the land and improvements would be worth approximately $312,408.
Mr. Little also reported on the staff negotiations with
representatives of the Division of Highways concerning the
possibility of purchasing the State property on deferred payment
plan. The local representatives have suggested $30,000 down with
the balance in ten equal payments and interest at the going FHA
rate. He requested Council determination as to the desirability
and the feasibility of purchasing this property.
Councilman McConaghay noted strong objections to using the
same value per square foot for both parcels of property, noting
his opinion that the property surrounding City Hall was of less
value than the State property. He stated this valuation could
not be accepted by the Council nor by the citizens of the community.
Donald Brown, Planning Commission Chairman, explained to the
Council his methods of computing the value of the land in question.
Mayor Mitchell suggested securing an independent appraisal
of the property before considering the matter further.
Mr. Madden informed the Council that the Division of Highways
would be willing to make available to the city their appraisal
figures and the methods used by the State to determine the fair
market value. He also recommended an independent appraisal of the
property.
Councilman Keiser advocated using city land acquisition funds
for such projects as a park for north Morro Bay and the purchase
of the Veterans' Memorial Hall for a convention center. She
questioned the feasibility of using the funds for property which
could not be developed for some time because of lack of funds.
Further lengthy discussion was held concerning this property.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that staff be directed to
negotiate with the State Division of Highways concerning
the deferred payment method of purchase of this property
and engage an independent appraiser to make an appraisal,
transferring the necessary funds from the city general
fund. The motion died for the lack of a second.
The Council members discussed the matter further.
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that the Council indicate a
willingness to purchase this property, assuming the
Council is satisfied with the cost of the property
and the city's ability to use it as a civic center.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Donohoo.

and a new Section 1 of Rule IX entitled "Appointment"
Mr. Little noted that this resolution had been prepared at
the direction of the Council and the two recognized city employees
organizations had been notified that the Council would consider
this resolution at this time.
William Mehaffey, Secretary of the Morro Bay Fire Fighters,
was present and expressed his organization's opposition to the
proposed amendment. He requested the revision of the entire
Resolution No. 29-65.
Mr. Little explained that shortly after the adoption of
Resolution No. 29-65, Resolution No. 59-65 was adopted, deleting
several important portions of the original rules. However, the
former administration and the present one have followed the original
intent of the personnel rules with respect to qualifications for
employment, etc. He noted his agreement with the need for revision
of the personnel rules and regulations.

Mr. Little noted that the Council has received a request that
the proposed ordinance be amended to contain a provision for the
control of starlings within the city limits if they become a
public nuisance or a menace to health or property. He informed
the Council that this provision was not included in the proposed
ordinance, since it had not been requested by the Citizens' Tree
Committee; however, the sample ordinance from the City of Santa
Ana does contain such a provision.
Councilman Keiser reported that the Fish and Game Department
has control over any problems which might arise with starlings and
she did not feel such a provision is necessary.

the Fish and Game Department from taking any action against starlings
within the city limits. Councilman Donohoo agreed.

of the Department of Fish and Game.
Councilman McConaghay did not feel the ordinance should be
amended.

Ned Rogoway, Planning Director, commented on the concern of
the Planning Commissioners that the people of the community do not
support the proposed harbor plan. He explained briefly the report
initiated by the Department of Fish and Game entitled "Report on
Natural Resources of Morro Bay and Proposal for Comprehensive Area
Plan". This plan would create a task force from all surrounding
areas and would initiate a complete ecologic and environmental study
of the Morro Bay area. Implementation of the plan would require
combined support of the city and the county.
Councilman Giannini noted his strong opposition to the proposed
harbor plan, stating that the majority of the citizens of the
community are opposed to such a project. He recommended city
acquisition of the remaining privately -owned lots on the sandspit
and the zoning of the sandspit as "O-A". He stated if the Council
approved this study, there would be an "open revolt by the people
of the city"; and suggested that a new harbor plan be initiated by
the citizens of the area.
Councilman Keiser stated the city has no intention of allowing
commercial development of the sandspit.
MOTION: Councilman Giannini moved that the City Council withdraw
the Koebig and Koebig Harbor Element of the City General
Plan. Mayor Mitchell seconded the motion.
Mr. Little noted that the Harbor Element of the General Plan
had been adopted by the Council after holding public hearings,
and could not legally be withdrawn without the holding of further
public hearings.
Mayor Mitchell withdrew his second and the motion died for
the lack of a second.
MOTION: Councilman Giannini moved that the city request the
Corps of Engineers to abandon the city's request of
1967 to study the harbor plan based upon the Koebig
and Koebig study. The motion was seconded by Council-
man McConaghay.
Mr. Madden noted that the second alternative for the city as
explained by Mr. Godwin would be to request an additional public
hearing by the Corps of Engineers in order to give the people an
opportunity to express their support or opposition to the present
harbor plan, or a completely modified plan.
Councilman Giannini withdrew his motion and Councilman
McConaghay withdrew his second to the motion.
MOTION: Councilman Giannini moved that the city present a
modified plan to the Corps of Engineers at a public
hearing. The motion was seconded by Councilman
McConaghay and unanimously carried by a roll call
vote.

1. Capital Improvement Element of the City General Plan
Mr. Little explained that the City Council had requested that
this be a topic of discussion at this joint meeting with the Planning
Commission. He stated the Capital Improvement Element had been
recommended for adoption by the Planning Commission in January of
1968. The City Council considered the plan on March 12, but
deferred final consideration until after the 1968 election. No
action has been taken since that time. Mr. Little reviewed the
various capital improvements covered by the plan.
Ned Rogoway, Planning Director, stated the Planning Commission
has reviewed the plan at a recent special meeting with respect to
updating the report from a planning standpoint. The Planning
Commission had considered primarily the proposed civic center plan
and the harbor improvements.
Discussion was held relative to the merits of the civic center
plan as suggested in the Capital Improvement Plan and the proposal
for the acquisition of surplus State property for such a facility.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that the Planning Commission
be requested to make a comparative study of the two
possible sites for a future civic center. The motion
was seconded by Mayor Mitchell and unanimously carried.

Councilman McConaghay reiterated his request that the Planning
Commission review the capital improvement plan with respect to
updating the plan.

the plan, the length of time necessary for such a study, and the
desirability of hiring a consultant to review the plan.
Mr. Little recommended that such a study be done by the City
Council, the Planning Commission, and staff members.

3. Embarcadero Extension Plan
Mr. Rogoway reported that the Planning Commission has studied
the plans for the extension of the Embarcadero, at the request of
the City Council, and is recommending an alternate proposal which
would prevent private development of the land on the ocean side
of the Embarcadero extension; would allow a higher use of the
lease site created by the new road; and would make necessary the
exchange of only two parcels of private property, simplifying
negotiations for the road right-of-way. Mr. Rogoway presented a
map showing the recommended re -alignment, ekplaining the plan to
the Council members and the audience.
Mr. Little noted that the original intention of the Council
was to create an overflow camping area to compensate for the
closure of the Morro Rock Park
Further discussion was held concerning the alternative plan
for the re -alignment of the Embarcadero, the highest and best
use of the lease site, and other related subjects.

4. Morro Bay Harbor Plan
Mr. Little explained that the Harbor Plan was proposed in
order to make possible the development of boat slips in the harbor;
however, since the adoption of the plan, the city has re -acquired
the sandspit area, with the exception of nine small lots, and
Council members have expressed a desire to keep the sandspit
free of any development.

study has been proposed for the entire drainage basin for Morro
Bay. It was felt that the results of such a study should be
determined before the city goes ahead with any changes such as
required by the harbor plan.

be deferred until the Council meeting on May 26. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Keiser and unanimously
carried.

and the City Council will meet shortly in joint session to discuss
the Capital Improvement Program for the city.
Discussion was held relative to the purchase of a mobile
radio unit for the meter serviceman. Council and staff agreed
that portable equipment would be more convenient rather than a
radio unit installed in the meter serviceman's pickup.

a soft copper tubing bender, since the city will not be using
a great deal of copper tubing, but will be using a new plastic
product.

Study, $5,000; (3) Water Supply Study, $6,500.

important, but felt the cost is excessive:

exploration for new well sites and the Wastewater Treatment Study
should be considered for this budget.

land and exploration for new water well sites be
included in the budget in the amount of $20,000.

overspending. Further discussion was held concerning the municipal

purchase a street sweeper for the city. Councilman McConaghay
noted he was not in favor of this purchase. He did not feel the

Councilman Donohoo stated he felt this is a very important
piece of equipment and would save a great deal of money the city
now spends for labor to have the streets cleaned.

he did not feel a street sweeper would pick up sand from the
streets, which is the main source of trouble.
Doug Stuart, Acting Public Works Director, commented on

in order to provide for adequate personnel for this station.
Chief Rieger explained his request for $100 for pressure gauges
for the 1957 pumper. This request had not been approved by staff.
MOTION: Councilman Giannini moved that $100 for pressure
gauges be approved. The motion was seconded by
Councilman McConaghay and unanimously carried.
Staff noted that this addition would change the total for
Account 26-16 to $2,060.
Discussion was held relative to the request of the Fire Depart-
ment for the installation of a gasoline tank and pump at Fire
Station No. 1. Staff had not approved this request for $300, but
since that time the city has acquired a pump and tank which could
be installed by city personnel for approximately $50.
Councilman Donohoo noted his objection to this project.
i
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that $50 be budgeted for
this project. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Keiser and carried by voice vote with Councilmen
Donohoo and Giannini voting "no".
Discussion was held relative to the request of the Fire Chief
for seven radio receivers at a cost of $150 each, for a total of
$1,050. Councilman Giannini recommended that the balance of the
budget be reviewed before making a decision on this item. The
Council members agreed.
RECESS: 9:19 P.M. RECONVENED: 9:27 p.m.

Councilman Giannini recommended that the staff suggested
amount be approved, noting that perhaps the hose can be purchased
more economically, making it possible to buy more hose for this
amount. The Council agreed.
Lengthy discussion was held concerning the items requested
by the Fire Department which are required by the Pacific Fire
Rating Bureau and which would decrease the number of "deficiency
points" in rating the city for fire insurance.
Discussion was held concerning the request for 125 feet of 3/4"
lifeline for a total of $65. Council members agreed to the deletion
of this item, thus changing the total for Account 26-33 to $5,323.
Councilman Giannini recommended that the city maintain the
present number of personnel for the Fire Department. Mr. Little
informed the Council that slight changes would be made to the
salaries for the Fire Department due to negotiations with the
International Association of Fire Fighters, but the changes would
not greatly affect the budget figures.
Mayor Mitchell inquired of the Fire Chief how many additional
firemen would be needed in order to have two men on duty at all
times at Fire Station No. 2. Chief Rieger informed him that three
additional firemen would be necessary. Lengthy discussion was
held concerning the staffing of Fire Station No. 2.
MOTION: Councilman Giannini moved that the city accept the
present personnel system for the Fire Department as
suggested by staff. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Donohoo and unanimously carried by roll
call vote.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the Fire Department
budget be approved in the amount of $116,296. The

tidelands leases regarding rental adjustments.
Councilman Giannini objected to the $30 per hour legal fees
charged by the City Attorney.
Councilman Donohoo stated that the city could not hire an
attorney for less than $30 per hour. Mayor Mitchell noted that
the minimum fee set by the Bar Association is $35.00 per hour.
Councilman Keiser agreed that this charge was reasonable.
Further discussion was held relative to the special quali-
fications of Mr. Madden in tidelands litigation, the cost of a
full-time attorney for the city, and related matters.

Department in the amount of $14,700 be approved. The

MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that Budget Account No. 18
be approved in the amount of $23,721. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Keiser and unanimously
carried.
Councilman Giannini recommended that an executive meeting
be held to discuss the purchase price for the lots on the sandspit
owned by Green -West -Acres. Staff suggested that an executive
meeting be held following the regular Council meeting of May 12
for this purpose.
After brief discussion, the Council members agreed to consider
additional budget accounts at this time, although the scheduled
items for consideration have been completed.
8. General Services - Budget Account No. 22
Discussion was held relative to the possible need for more
garbage recepticles along the waterfront.
Councilman McConaghay questioned the fact that mylar, sepia,
and blueline paper for city drawings and maps was listed under
General Services and also under Engineering and Administration.
Staff agreed that this was an error, and removed the proposed
amount of $300 from General Services for these items, changing the
total for Account 22-12 from $3,500 to $3,200.
Discussion was held relative to travel and meetings expenses
for the Council, Planning Commission, and all departments.
Councilman Giannini disagreed with the $1,500 allocation for
the City Council and City Administrator for travel expenses. He
felt the Council members should spend a portion of their $150
monthly salary for these expenses.
Councilman Keiser spoke relative to the importance of the
Councilmen attending these meetings for city officials. She did
not agree that this item should be cut, stating she felt the
$150 paid monthly to the Council members was not actually a salary,
but was to be used for this purpose, in addition to the expenses
paid by the city for travel and meetings.
Councilman Giannini questioned the expenditure for ambulance
service. He felt this service could be furnished by the Fire
Department, since they are usually the first ones to arrive at
the scene of any emergency. He stated he felt there are not
sufficient emergency cases in Morro Bay to justify an ambulance
service.
Councilman Keiser spoke relative to the cost of this service
and the fact that such a service is very reassuring to the senior
citizens in the community.
Mr. Little questioned the feasibility of staffing an ambulance
service with Fire Department personnel, He felt this might create
1J

a problem if a fire call was received when the firemen were
responding to an emergency call in the ambulance.
Fire Chief Rieger spoke relative to the additional problems
which would be incurred by the Fire Department in attempting to
furnish emergency ambulance service to the community.
Councilman McConaghay stated that some sort of emergency
service is mandatory for this area and recommended that the City
Council continue with this program. He noted his interest in
obtaining more information from Mr. Flock relative to the number
of emergency calls received for Morro Bay.
MOTION: Councilman McConaghay moved that Budget Account No. 22
be approved in the amount of $50,404. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Donohoo and carried by voice
vote with Councilman Giannini voting "no".

Mr. Little reported that the various city and county officials
throughout the county have examined the Woods Animal Shelter
expenditures, determined the yearly operating costs of the operation,
and have estimated the percentage of the operating costs which
should be born by each city and by the county. He stated that
exact figures will be known shortly, but it is anticipated that
Morro Bay's share of the cost will be some $6360 per year.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the Animal Regulation
Budget Account No. 27 be approved in the amount of
$6,480. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Giannini and unanimously carried.

be approved in the amount of $100. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Donohoo and unanimously carried.

C-3 Request of Sanitary Department for laboratory equipment
Mr. Little informed the Council that recent requirements of
the State Water Quality Control Board would require that the city
take some twenty samples per month in five different areas along
the beach and at the treatment plant and deliver these samples
to the County Health Department for testing. This would be an
expensive, time-consuming process. He therefore recommended that
the Council authorize the purchase of some $700 worth of laboratory
equipment to enable the Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent
to perform the necessary tests in order to protect the city against
any charges of contamination -of the ocean from the treatment plant
effluent.
MOTION: Councilman Giannini moved that this laboratory equipment

study
Mr. Little informed the Council members that the Corps of
Engineers has indicated they now have the necessary funds to proceed
with the feasibility study of the harbor element of the city's
general plan. However, they have requested Council assurance
that should the Corps find the harbor element feasible, the city
will proceed with the plan.
Councilman Giannini indicated his strong opposition to the
harbor element of the general plan. He felt this plan is not
economically feasible and would disturb the ecology of the bay.

inviting representatives from the Corps of Engineers to speak
before the Council and further explain their request.

Corps of Engineers to speak before the Council.

a permit from a State Commission for any "substantial
change" to the shoreline within one mile of the ocean. "Substantial
change" would include any construction or excavation totaling in
excess of $10,000.
MOTION: Mayor Mitchell moved that the city send letters of
opposition to the appropriate officials concerning
AB 640 because it destroys home rule. Councilman
McConaghay amended the motion to include opposition
to AB 908 because it would allow one government agency
to tax another and also because it would set a dangerous
precedent. The amendment was accepted by Mayor Mitchell.
The motion was seconded by Councilman McConaghay and
unanimously carried.

reviewed the sample ballot for Morro Bay, compared it to the ballot
for Pismo Beach which has the identical figures "1-2-4" in the same
location on the ballot. He stated that Pismo Beach has received no
complaints from the voters concerning the numbers on the ballot. He
also referred to a copy of a corrected proof of the Morro Bay ballot
obtained from the County Clerk's office which showed the change of
the numbers "l-3" to "1-2-4" made by the County Clerk because write-in
slot number three is inoperable on the Shoup Voting Machines used by
the County of San Luis Obispo. Mr. Madden also presented a copy of
the sample ballot used in Morro Bay in the 1968 election which showed
the figures "l-2" in the same location on the ballot, since only
two City Council seats were open at that time. He informed the
Council members that the sample ballot for the City of Morro Bay as
printed by Martin & Chapman Company is legal and valid.
Councilman Giannini felt that if the public was confused over
the numbers on the ballot, the Council should take some action. He
also noted his feeling that the incumbent's names should not be
placed first on the ballot.
Councilman Keiser noted that the matter under consideration before
the Council at this meeting is the best possible method of explaining
these numbers to the voters. She suggested that the local papers
print the same article that appeared in the Telegram -Tribune as an
explanation.

the ballot was confusing because of the numbers "l-2-4". He commented
further on the ballot and was ruled out of order by the Mayor.
Mr. Madden read a copy of a letter from the District Attorney
addressed to Lt. Col. Cronin which stated that involvement is
limited solely to the city and Cronin should consult with the City
Attorney concerning the legality of the ballot.
Further comments were heard from Cronin.and Mrs. Ellis.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the meeting be adjourned.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Keiser and carried
with Councilman Giannini voting "no".

feeling regarding the action taken by the Planning Commission at

the Council members that he has met with Ned Rogoway, Planning
Director for the City and the County, since that time and resolved

suggested that in the future proper notification be given to the
affected persons concerning matters scheduled for discussion at

Control and Water Conservation District to commend on Leeds,
Hill, and Jewett Report
Mr. Little presented the recommendation of the Water Advisory
Committee that it is beyond the financial capability of the City
of Morro Bay to consider any of the plans proposed in this report
unless it can be made certain that all the other entities share
in the cost. The Water Advisory Committee further recommended
that the county continue to explore possibilities for supplemental
water, giving particular emphasis on determining what other entities
would participate in a water program, to what extent Federal grants
could be obtained, and to what extent the county would commit the
outlying areas to this water program.
MOTION: Councilman Bickford moved that the City Council accept
this report from the Water Advisory Committee and direct

this resolution, he requested that the Council advise staff to whom
the resolution is to be directed, specifically what is to be

resolution is to be directed to the State and Federal legislators,
the Board of Supervisors, and all seaport communities in California.
B-3 Group health insurance
Mayor Mallery stated that several city employees have contacted
local insurance agencies inquiring concerning the increase in the
city group health insurance rates. He stated this increase was a
result of the fact that some 90% of the dividends was paid out in
claims for the city this past year.
Councilman Giannini reiterated his feeling that the city should
call for bids for the group health insurance.
After further discussion, Mayor Mallery stated he would call a
special meeting of the Council, at which time the insurance companies
interested in submitting proposals for group health insurance could
present their bids for Council consideration.
B_4 Re -alignment of Embarcadero north of Coleman Drive
Mr. Little noted the need for an exchange of property with
Morro Sands Land Company in order to accomplish the re -alignment
of the Embarcadero north of Coleman Drive and to create a larger
lease site south of Morro Dunes lease site. He stated he had
discussed a possible property exchange with Mr. Den -bulk in Oakland
recently and he displayed maps showing the exchange suggested by
Mr. Den-Dulk,
Mayor Mallery stated he felt the proposed exchange would not
be in the best interests of the city. Hugh Case suggested that the
city condemn Mr. Den-Dulk's property in order to acquire the needed
right-of-way.
After further discussion, the Council agreed to make this a
subject for discussion at a future study session.

Mr. Little presented the engineer's estimate in the amount of
$18,810 for providing the necessary fence and bridges so that

INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
D-1 City Council
(1) Councilman Keiser reported on a dinner meeting of
engineering students and faculty from Cal Poly she
attended recently. The topic of discussion was "'Environmental
Control" and the speaker was the sponsor of AB640 concerning
pollution. She suggested that the Council members secure copies
of this bill and study it.
(2) Councilman Keiser noted the problem of sewage discharge
from boats in the bay. She suggested that the city
install some type of sewage collection facilities which could be
used by boat owners with self-contained sanitation systems to
discharge sewage into the city sewer system. She also suggested
placing more garbage containers along the Embarcadero.
Lengthy discussion was held concerning the feasibility of
installing sewage collection pumping facilities on the waterfront
for use by boat owners and the fact that most boats do not have
holding tanks for sewage but pump the raw 'sewage directly into
the water.
Further discussion was held concerning the responsibility of
the state and federal government in controlling pollution problems
such as this and the need for stricter control.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that staff make an immediate
study to determine the number of boats that have
holding tanks for sewage and that would be interested
in using shoreside facilities. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Bickford and unanimously carried.
MOTION: Councilman Giannini moved that staff be instructed to
draft a resolution urging stricter control of sewage
discharge in the ocean and request the help of other
seaport communities in supporting such legislation.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Bickford and
unanimously carried.
(3) Councilman Giannini reported on the distressing irregularities
in the expenditure of funds by the Office of Economic
Opportunity, the disorganized manner in which the Economic Opportunity
Commission meetings are conducted, the excessive salaries paid to
the commission "bureaucracy", and other activities which he felt
require an investigation by the County Grand Jury.
Councilman Keiser noted her agreement with Councilman Giannini's
statements,suggesting that Mayor kallery attend a meeting of the

HEARINGS. APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
A-1 Appearance of representative of Environmental Improvement
Committee
Mr. Richard Fisher, a science teacher at Cuesta College and
member of the Environmental Improvement Committee,informea the
Council that this committee is composed of local residents with
sufficient scientific background to understand and evaluate
pollution problems and has been formed for the purpose of assessing
the extent of the present pollution problems in the Morro Bay
Basin, recommending solutions to these problems, and anticipating
future areas of concern. The committee requested Council author-
ization for the City Administrator to cooperate in any manner he
deems appropriate in order to assess the extent of the present
pollution problems.
Discussion was held among the members of the Council and Mr.
Fisher concerning the desirability of appointing a member of the
Council or the city staff to serve on this committee. The consensus
was that this would not be necessary and it would be in the best
interest of the city to approve the request of the committee.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that the City Council sanction
and recognize the Environmental Improvement Committee
with Mr. Little to act as a liason between the Council
and the committee. The motion was seconded by Council-
man Giannini and unanimously carried.

A-2 Report on meeting with representatives of Morro Dunes
concerning trailer park lease site
Mr. Madden read the proposal submitted by Morro Dunes as
a result of the meeting between city staff, two Council members,
and Morro Dunes representatives on February 4, 1970. The proposal
requested a lease similar to the lease for their existing trailer
park, indicated a willingness to pay a fair share of the con-
struction costs for the road and bridge on an amortized basis, and
indicated that a significant proportion of the total project would
be developed by Morro Dunes in the first year with a phased
development of the remainder.
Mr. Little reported that he had contacted Mr. John Den-Dulk,
owner of property which must be acquired by the city in order to
install the proposed extension of the Embarcadero and make this
lease site available. He advised the Council that this property
exchange or purchase must be completed before negotiations may
be made for the lease site. He requested Council authorization to
travel to Oakland to confer with Mr. Den -bulk concerning this
property.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that Mr. Little be authorized
to go to Oakland and confer with Mr. Den -bulk concerning
the re -location of the Embarcadero. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Bickford.
Councilman Giannini questioned the necessity of this trip to
Oakland. He felt these negotiations could be made by phone,
or perhaps the City Attorney should handle the negotiations.
Lengthy discussion was held concerning the necessity of Mr. Little
meeting with Mr. Den -bulk in Oakland to make negotiations for this
property.

A-3 Report on cost of sidewalk on Main Street between Radcliff
Avenue and Highway 41
Mr. Little stated that the total cost of the installation of
the sidewalk, curb, and gutters would be approximately $22,615.37.
This cost could either be borne by the property owners or the city
could pay for a portion. However, in addition to this -amount, the
city would have to spend $11,850.50 for street widening, drainage
facilities, and the sidewalk on Morro Creek bridge; plus some extra
cost to pay the assessment against a parcel which the city had
previously agreed to install sidewalk, curb, and gutter.
Councilman Keiser suggested the possibility of negotiating
with P.G. & E. for a walkway on the west side of Main Street
between Beach Street and Highway 41. She felt this method would
provide a safe walkway at less expense to the city.
Discussion was held concerning this suggestion.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that staff investigate the
possibility of negotiating with P.G. & E. for this
walkway and report back to the Council at the next
meeting. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Bickford and unanimously carried.

(Added)
Mr. Anders presented a detailed sketch of his property at
1245 Morro Avenue, stating that he had cleaned the entire front
yard, the Fire Department personnel had only made firebreaks at
the rear of the house and at the rear shed. He stated that no
power mower had been used, no weeds were burned, and no weeds
were hauled away. He stated he wishes to protest the charge of
$30.00 since he felt this was excessive.
Mr. Little explained the work done by the Fire Department,
noting that discrepancies exist between the report of the Fire
Department and Mr. Anders.
MOTION: Councilman Bickford moved that this charge be reduced
by 50%. The motion was seconded by Councilman Donohoo
and unanimously carried.

Consideration of Recreation
Mr. Little read a memorandum report on efforts of Council
members and staff to determine the cost of upgrading the existing
sound system in the Recreation Hall or possibly replacing it with
another type. He stated a proposal has been received from McCurry's
Audio Visual Company in Atascadero with a total cost of approximately
$800.00. This proposal includes utilizing the present microphones
for staff and audience, lavalier type microphones for Council
members, two sound speakers, two power mixers to allow individual
control of microphones, and a tape recorder. This system would
eliminate much of the cable now on the floor and would make a
neater and more effective system. Mr. Little explained to the
Council members the manner in which these improvements would be
installed.
Mayor Mallery noted the fine sound system in the new high
school multi -purpose building, stated that this proposed sound
system for the Recreation Building would be similar. He also
referred to the new public address system in the Paso Robles
Council Chambers and informed the Council that this system was
installed at a cost of over $1,600.00, twice the cost of the
system suggested for Morro Bay.
Councilman Giannini felt that if the existing microphones ar
good enough for the City Attorney, City Administrator, and the
public, they are sufficient for the Council members. He felt
the Council does not need to expend this amount of money for this
purpose and each Councilman should use the present microphones.
Councilman Keiser stated that $800.00 was a great d
money to spend for this proposal when the city will not
money to provide a park for North Morro Bay. Therefore,
not in favor of this project.'

C-2 Request of Morro Dunes for consideration in leasing of proposed
trailer park lease site.
Mr. Little informed the Council members that he had advised
Morro Dunes of the Council's decision to construct the extension
of the Embarcadero and Morro Creek bridge and had requested that
they indicate to the Council their interest, if any, in the lease
site which will be made available by the installation of this
road. He presented the written request submitted by Morro Dunes
for consideration for this lease site. Mr. Little suggested that
a committee of Council and staff be appointed to delve into the
possibility of negotiating this lease or putting it up for bid.
Mayor Mallery agreed and appointed himself, Councilman Donohoo,
Mr. Madden, and Mr. Little to serve on this committee to meet
with representatives of Morro Dunes.
Discussion was held concerning the feasibility of negotiating
this lease.
Councilman Giannini expressed opposition to a negotiated
lease. He felt this method of leasing this,property would be
very improper and everyone should be given a chance to bid on
the parcel. He stated he would have no part of a negotiated lease.
He also noted his disapproval of constructing Morro Creek bridge,
stating he felt the twin bridges on South.Bay Boulevard were a
higher priority, and the city should encourage South Bay residents
to shop in Morro Bay.
Mr. Bob Mills of Morro Dunes spoke concerning the interest of
his firm in leasing this parcel of property and their plans to open
the site as an overflow park in order to accommodate the large
numter of campers in this area during the tourist season.
Mr. Wes Jackson spoke in opposition to the installation of
the extension of the Embarcadero and the Morro Creek bridge.

billing sent to his office rather than the city offices, and the
fee has never been paid. The bill has been outstanding for
approximately four years, which is somewhat irregular. The city

HEARINGS, APPEARANCES, AND REPORTS
A=1 Report on proposed purchase of State Maintenance Yard property
Mr. Little advised the Council that the State has set the
price of $133,878 as the fair market value for.the former Division
of Highways Maintenance Yard on Quintana Road. He stated the parcel
contains 2.195 acres and would sell for $1.40 per square foot.
However, he noted that the property will first be offered to other
State agencies before the city will have an opportunity to consider
its purchase. The State also requires that if the property is
purchased by the city, it be used for municipal purposes and can
not be re -sold in the future.
Councilman Keiser stated this price is exorbitant and noted
her feeling that the city should take advantage of the reasonable
selling price of $.45 per square foot for the parcel in north Morro
Bay for a park.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that the City Council instruct
staff to investigate the purchase of the property in
north Morro Bay for $25,000 cash and proceed with the
purchase. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Bickford and failed to pass on the following roll call

financing this project. He informed the Council that two methods
are available: (1) An assessment district; and (2) Payment in
cash from gas tax fund reserves and 1970-71 allocations together
with a short assessment proceeding for the Morro Sands Land Company's
share of the project cost. He stated that if the Council determines
that the Morro Creek Bridge is more important than the replacement
of the South Bay Boulevard twin bridges, the $60,000 1970-71
construction funds plus $31,000 from construction reserves could
be used for this project. Morro Sands Land Company could pay for
their share through short assessment proceedings. He recommended
that if the Council approves the project, the cash method of
financing be used.
Discussion was held relative to the condition of the twin
bridges at this time and the feasibility of delaying their replace-
ment by using these construction reserves for the Morro Creek
bridge.
Mr. Little advised the Council that representatives of Morro
Dunes have indicated interest in leasing the city fee property
near P.G.& E. which has been designated for trailer park use and
would be available for lease with the installation of this road
and bridge across Morro Creek. The property would be used by
Morro Dunes for an overflow camping area, providing only minimum
facilities. Mr. Little stated that such a lease could be negotiated
on a short-term basis.
Councilman Bickford stated lie agreed that the construction
reserve funds held for replacement of the twin bridges could be
better utilized on the Morro Creek bridge project.
Councilman Giannini felt the twin bridges are in a very unstable
condition and he noted his concern with the upkeep problems for
the proposed extension of the Embarcadero, due to the movement of
sand in that area. He also stated he felt.this extension would be
harmful to downtown business because tourists would leave the city
without passing through the business district.
Councilman Donohoo and Councilman Keiser noted their approval
of Mr. Little's recommendations.
MOTION: Councilman Bickford moved that staff be authorized to
proceed with the necessary engineering plans and call
for bids for the construction of the Embarcadero
extension and the Morro Creek bridge. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Keiser and unanimously carried
by roll call vote with Mayor Mallery absent.
Mr. Little informed the Council that because of the status of
the gas tax funds, it will be necessary to have two contracts for
this project: one for the bridge and one for the balance of the
work.
Discussion was held concerning the new lessee paying for these
improvements over a period of time through the lease rental.

that every new business is not required to,plant trees. If they
wish trees planted, they are billed for the cost of the tree well
and the city plants the trees. He also stated that the Tree
Committee has been disolved in its official capacity with the
Planning Commission; however, the members are still interested
in city tree planting and have volunteered services to the city
in any way possible.

Councilman Bickford suggested that
referred back to the Planning Commission
clarification.
these recommendations be
for further study and
Councilman Giannini inquired concerning the cost to the city
to initiate a tree planting program for the downtown area. Mr.
Little noted the cost would not be too great; however, many
businessmen have already paid to have trees installed in front
of their businesses and it would not be fair to them _for the city
to plant trees in front of businesses that have not paid for them.
Councilman Giannini felt this would cause no problem and if anyone
objected, the Council could make a determination.
MOTION: Councilman Giannini moved that recommendation number 3
as listed in Planning Commission Resolution No. 4-69
be implemented. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Keiser.
Mr. Little suggested that the city complete the planting on
the blocks which are now partially planted and then plant one block
at a time until the project is completed.,
Councilman Bickford recommended that the motion include Mr.
Little's suggestion.
Councilman Giannini amended the motion to include the
suggestion that the blocks which are partially planted
be completed first and the remaining downtown area be
planted one block at a time. The amendment was
accepted by Councilman Keiser and the motion was
unanimously carried.
C-4 Proposed closing of a portion of Sunset Avenue
Mr. Little stated the Planning Commission had studied this
problem and have recommended that'a portion of Sunset Avenue
between Highway 41 and Hill Street be closed to vehicular traffic
by placingbarricades across the street at two points and by posting
signs at Hill Street and at Rockview Street denoting "not a through
road". Residents of the area have complained that this steep
portion of the street is hazardous because some young people are
using it for a thrill ride. This street closing would be done on
a temporary basis and no city rights -of -way would be abandoned.
MOTION: Councilman Giannini moved that staff prepare the
necessary resolution for Council consideration at
the next meeting. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Bickford and unanimously carried.

Councilman Giannini noted his reservations concerning this
committee. He felt the Council should divorce itself from the
committee and allow the committee to function on its own.
Mayor Mallery stated the committee needs a strong chairman
to keep order in the meeting since the public is allowed to attend.
He felt it is necessary to have a member of the Council attend
the meetings in order to accomplish the very purpose of the committee -
communications between the Council and the community.
Councilman Giannini referred to the request of the committee
members for copies of all Council minutes. He felt the committee
members should attend all Council meetings to find out first hand
what happened; noting that the expense of printing minutes for
the seventeen -member committee would be too great.
Councilman Keiser noted her feelings that the matter of a
chairman should be left up to the committee members themselves.
She stated she had received calls from committee members who
indicated they were well satisfied with the way the committee is
operating at the present time.
Councilman Giannini stated these meetings are just "Coffee
Klatches" and are of no value to the City Council.
MOTION: Councilman Donohoo moved that the matter of selecting
a chairman be left up to the committee members. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Keiser and unanimously
carried.
The Council members noted their agreement that meetings of
the committee should be held on specified days of the month, but
felt that the words " with no deviation from this schedule" should
be stricken.
MOTION: Councilman Keiser moved that suggestion number 5, "meetings
should be held on a specified day of each month", be approved
by the Council. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Donohoo and unanimously carried.
COUNCILMAN BICKFORD IS NOW PRESENT.

concerning the appointment of sub -committees be

for Council determination of policies of operation for
