PRESENT: Councilmen Bickford, Bowen, Keiser, Mallery $ Mayor Surfluh
ABSENT: None
City Administrator reviewed for the Council and those present the
recommendations forwarded to the Council by the Planning Commission
relative to the installation of improvements on Lease Sites 200 and
201. The format followed was similar to that of a subdivision re-
view board and each item was categorized and treated separately.
1. Water Service: Water mains now exist. No further
insta anon or additional cost recommended to be
borne by the developer for water service.
2. Sewage: The matter of requiring a developer to pay a
$300 per acre charge attributable to plant and
collection system capital improvement cost was re-
viewed. The Planning Commission recommended that
this cost be assessed against the developer.
3. Other matters relating to sewage consisted of some
concern as to the availability of facilities to
dispose of wastewater from camper pick-up trucks
and tent campers. Sewer connections are made
available to each trailer site, but they are not
made available to camper and tent camper sites.
The Planning Commission recommended that more
adequate facilities be provided.
4. sgina a al Soil Stabilization: Adequate drainage of
sur ace water into Morro CreeF Channel is provided
for in the slope of the proposed development. The
recommendation that drainage be routed into a drop-
inlet•structure at the southerly portion of the Phase
One development on the north side of the Creek be
installed was made by the Planning Commission.
5. Creek Bank Stabilization: The review committee
recommended in their report that the creek banks be
stabilized by an approved rip -rap of both sides of
the creek for the full width of the lease to a standard
acceptable to the City. At this time it appears that
wire mesh and gunite would be the best possible
solution to a very serious problem.
This matter was considered at some length by the
Planning Commission and they recommended that the

6. Mr. White reviewed the discussion held at the Planning
Commission meeting between Mr. Morton Binder, Landscape
Architect, and the Commission relating to the desires
of Central Coast Investors to plant the entire area of
the development with a grass in lieu of paving. The
Planning Commission made a motion to further investi-
gate this matter prior to any determination.
7. Streets Curbs Gutters and Sidewalks: City Adminis-
trator reviewed in ept the requirement of the City
relating to the curbs, gutters and sidewalks and
streets improvements. The review committee recommended
that these improvements be installed across the entire
frontage of the lease and that paving be placed to a
width of 24 feet and the cost to be assessed to the
developer. Planning Commission recommended also that
these improvements be installed and that the City and
developer share the cost.
8. Streets - Access Road: The review committee recommended
that the developer e required to place base material
to City specifications from the northwest corner of the
sewage treatment plant property to the northerly limits
of Lease Site.201. Said base to be located on the
proposed alignment of the extension of the Embarcadero.
The City then would pave the portion of the access road
when funds became available. Planning Commission con-
curred with this recommendation.
9. Utilities: Planning Commission recommended that all
utilities be placed underground. These utilities to
include electricity, gas and Cable T.V., and that
street lights be installed, also with underground wiring.
An additional recommendation of the Planning Commission
was that the architectural standards, streets, parking,
signs, landscaping, etc., be up -graded in this area to
further enhance the area.
The Planning Commission, on review of the recomendations of the
review committee, recommends to the City Council that in the event
undeveloped City property is to be leased, that it be treated similar
to a subdivision and that the procedures followed by the subdivision
review board be followed. to insure that all matters relating to the
development are fully considered.

The City Council and staff members discussed in detail the recommend-
ations of the Planning Commission relating to the development of
Lease Sites 200 and 201. Mr. Ray Gallo, attorney for Central Coast
Investors, and Kendall Jenkins, representative of Central Coast In-
vestors, presented their thoughts to the Council relating to the
aforementioned development.
The areas of major concern discussed were the stabilization of Morro
Creek adjacent to and through the lease site, and the matter relating
to streets.
Cost figures were presented to the Council by the staff for street
improvements fronting the lease site, the access road, the full
developed width of four lanes, cost of the bridge structure and the
total cost of the project to the developer and to the City. The
total plan of the Embarcadero extension, which would ultimately
connect with Atascadero Road, was reviewed for the benefit of those
present.
No cost figures were available for the stabilization of the banks of
the creek. The City Engineer has been instructed to develop a
reasonable standard and to prepare a cost estimate.
Discussion was held as to the need for another meeting where the cost
figures would be available for consideration. Consideration was given
to holding this meeting at the next regular Council meeting, and after
discussion it was determined that the regular meeting would be ad-
journed to a later date to again consider this matter of the install-
ation of improvements on undeveloped leased land. City staff was
instructed to have the necessary cost data available.

Council Meeting
Comments were heard from Councilman Mallery. in regards to state-
ments made by the City Attorney at this evenings meeting and also
relating to those comments made by Mr. Brazil and Mr. Woolpert.
Mr. McIntire notified Mr. Mallery, at this time, of a conflict of
interest that exists.in his relationship to the City and the
existing litigation between the City and County.
The conflict of interest was discussed and Mr. Mallery was asked
if he was aware that a conflict existed and if he intended to dis-
qualify himself. Mr. Mallery answered that if a conflict of in-
terest did, in fact, exist, he would disqualify himself from the
proceedings. Mr. McIntire clarified the extent of the conflict of
interest and advised Mr. Mallery and the City Council of the conflict
of interest laws in the State and the effect of the participation of
Mr. Mallery in any efforts to reach a settlement would be in viola-
tion of the State laws.
He also indicated to Mr.- Mallery that this in no way reflected on
his personal integrity and that it was necessary not only to protect
the City but to protect Mr. Mallery.
Councilman Mallery questioned the right of Councilman Bickford to
participate in the City -County settlement conference because of the
fact that he, too, holds a City lease. It was indicated that this
lease was outside of the area of existing litigation and was originally
negotiated between Mr. Bickford and the prior Morro Bay Sanitary Dis-
trict and there would be no conflict of interest in this instance.
Mr. Mallery indicated that he will accept the ruling of the City
Attorney until he consults with his attorney. Mr. McIntire suggested
that this be discussed between the City Attorney, Mr. Mallery's
attorney and the City Council in executive session.
A-S Appearance of representative of Calvary Baptist Church
Mr. Ned Rogoway, County Planning Director, reviewed the request of the

walk. Comments were heard from Reverend Don Ownby in which he re-
quested that these requirements be postponed until the rest of the

authorize them to continue with their construction and this matter
could be treated at a later date.

until the next Council meeting. Councilman Keiser

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
B-1 Atascadero State Beach Park
Mayor Surfluh stated that two telephone calls had been received
this evening from City Attorney Peter Kardel in Sacramento informing
him that a satisfactory solution to this problem has been reached
with Mr. Fred Jones, Director of Parks and Recreation. In this
agreement it is stipulated that: Yerba Buena Street will be the
accepted access route; the prevailing rate will be charged for the
cost of connecting to the sewer system; no temporary or interim
use of Hatteras Street will be permitted, and vehicular traffic will
be permitted access to the beach at Azure Street.
Mr. McIntire reviewed the agreement which was approved by Fred Jones,
Charles DeTurk, Assistant Director of the Division of Parks and
Beaches, and the attorney for the Resources Agency. He suggested
that two separate resolutions be adopted approving and directing the
Mayor to sign both agreements.
First, City Attorney suggested that the City Council adopt a resolu-
tion approving the access agreement and directing the Mayor to exe-
cute it upon execution by the State.
Second, City Attorney suggested that a resolution be adopted approving
the sewer agreement and directing the Mayor to execute it, subject to
the approval of the City Attorney.
Mr. McIntire stated the reason is that the sewer agreement is not to
be signed until the access agreement is signed, and yet we can't say
that in the resolution because Mr. Jones requested that we not. The
arrangement would be that when the State came back with the executed
access agreement, the City would then execute the sewer agreement.
Mr. McIntire pointed out, with respect to the Azure Street entrance,
that the City is given the right to open the road onto the beach,
provided that the City patrols the beach and maintains order with re-
spect to vehicles. At no time will vehicles be allowed on the beach
north of Hatteras Street.

provisions of the original lease, subsequent to the City's
assuming control of the Harbor area.
The City Attorney related factual data regarding the amount charged
to Mr. Crill for the lease, terms of the lease and the proposed
sub -lease agreement with the sub -lessee, Mr. Charles Sites. Mr.
McIntire recommended that the general form of the Wilson/Anderson

cussion held by and between the Council, Mr. Ned Rogoway, Director

leases have been officially terminated, and she will furnish the

Committee in every manner possible.

C-3 Determination of Weed Abatement Policy
Mr. White discussed the problem of weed abatement in
this City. After reading Fire Chief Rieger's report for 1965,

successful.

the lots instead of burning them. Discussion ensued and it was de-
termined that burning is the only feasible solution at this time.

increased to $6 per lot or portion of a lot.

to make their presentation. Mr. Kendell Jenkins presented
graphic illustrations of the proposed development plans of
Central Coast Investors and Morro Dunes, Inc. for review of
the Council.
Mr. Jenkins discussed in detail the facilities that will be con-
structed on Lease Sites 200 and 201, and the proposed phasing of
construction. He presented members of the Council and staff with
letters setting forth the construction schedule and cost estimates,
with the added request for permission to proceed with the con-
struction as programmed this evening. He also asked for approval
of the assignment of Lease Sites 200 and 201 from Central Coast
Investors to Morro Dunes, Inc.
In the event of the approval of the two aforementioned requests
regarding the commencement of construction and the assignment of
the lease, Morro Dunes, Inc. would be willing to concede certain
points as set forth in a letter presented to the Council which is
on file in City Hall.
The City Attorney recommended that a full public hearing be held
on this matter at tonight's meeting asking for comments from the
audience and interested parties, on conclusion of said hearing
the Council and staff to comment. Mayor Surfluh concurred with
this and asked if there were any persons present who wished to
speak regarding this proposed development. Comments were made
both pro and con toward the establishment of this facility at
this location by members of the audience. At the conclusion,
Mayor Surfluh declared the hearing closed and asked the City
Attorney for a review of the matter as it stands now,
Mr. McIntire apprised the Council of the status of the existing
lease, the legal implications with respect to this lease, and
the steps that the Council Committee and members of the staff
have taken towards resolving the problems encountered by Central
Coast Investors.
The interest of the original lease holder, Earnest D. Hart, and
his relationship to Central Coast Investors was discussed for the
benefit of those present, and it is the findings of the Council
Committee and the City Attorneys Office that in order for Central
Coast Investors to proceed, the City must be assured that Mr. Hart
no longer has an interest in the lease.
A lease amendment agreement was submitted to Central Coast Investors
on April 8, 1966, and said agreement set forth the procedures where-
by Central Coast Investors would acquire the signature of Mr. Hart
assigning his leasehold interest entirely to Central Coast Investors.
This lease amendment agreement was approved by the City Council on
April 5, 1966, and was to be returned on or before May 5, 1966. To
date, no response has been made by the principals of Central Coast
Investors or Morro Dunes, Inc. regarding this lease amendment agree-
ment.

Councilman Keiser asked if the City could become involved in
the law suit between Mr. Hart and Central Coast Investors. The
City Attorney advised that the City could be brought into the
law suit if this question arises in the Courts. It was
suggested that either Mr. Hart sign over his entire interest to
Central Coast Investors, or Central Coast Investors sign over
their interest to Mr. Hart, or that they both sign the lease
amendment agreement.

Council recommending that'the Council follow one of three courses
of action. These recommendations were reviewed again for the
benefit of the Council and discussion held in depth as to pro-
cedures to follow. The City Attorney recommended to the.Council
that this.matter again be referred to a committee of the Council
for study and report back.

C-2 Atascadero•Beach State Park
The City Administrator informed the Council that representatives of
the Division of Beaches and Parks from the Regional Office of
Planning and Development at Goleta are in attendance at this
meeting to present their plans on the proposed access route to
the Atascadero Beach State Park.
Introduced were Clark Muldavin, Regional Engineer, Robert
Rothhaupt and Milton Frienke, Operations Officer. Mr. Muldavin
displayed drawings of the proposed planned access at Yerba Buena
Street and reviewed said plans in detail.
Mr. Rothhaupt and Mr. Frienke commented upon the proposed Yerba
Buena access relating to their responsibility in the development
and operation of the State Park facility. A request was made of
the Council that a resolution be submitted to the State approving
the Yerba Buena access as proposed, and that approval be granted
for hook-up to the City sewer system. In addition to the afore-
mentioned request, an additional request was made for interim use
of the Easter -Sandalwood -Hatteras entrance as originally proposed
by the State during the period that the Yerba Buena access is
being constructed. An inquiry was made as to what length of time
would be required for this interim use and it was stated that it
would be from 9 to 12 months before the Yerba Buena access could
be completed and open for public use.
MINUTES - City Council Meeting
April 19, 1966

Mayor Surfluh opened the meeting for comments from members of
the audience. Many comments were made from those present in
the audience regarding the State's request for the interim use
of the initially proposed access route, the sewer service agree-
ment and the loss of access to the beach by not only the resi-
dents of this City, but the many thousands of people who have
used the beach in the past, because of the installation of the
State Park facility. Approximately 20 persons were recognized
by the Chair, all speaking in opposition to the aforementioned
interim use and severe criticism was given for the lack of
access to vehicular traffic to what has been a public beach.
Mayor Surfluh then declared the matter closed from the floor and
asked individual council members to comment and give their
thoughts regarding the State's request. Discussion was held at
length by the City Council who reviewed not only the request
from the State and its possible effect upon the public health
and safety, but also how it would affect the existing law suit
filed against the City by the State of California.
MOTION: Councilman Bickford moved that the City decline
to grant access by the Hatteras Street route, and
that we refer the proposed Yerba Buena Street
access to the City staff for consideration.
Councilman Bowen seconded. Discussion was held
regarding above motion.
Councilman Mallery requested an amendment to
Councilman Bickford's motion. Councilman Bowen
withdrew his second to Councilman Bickford's
motion. Councilman Mallery suggested that the
motion also state that we will now allow no
interim access by the Hatteras Street route or
any other route.
MOTION: Councilman Bickford's.amended motion, then appears
as follows:
The City to decline to grant acess by the Hatteras
Street route and that no interim access by said
Hatteras Street route or any other route be granted
and that we refer the Yerba Buena Street access to
staff for consideration and report back to the
Council. Councilman Bowen seconded. Passed
unanimously.
City Attorney was asked to comment on the law suit and review for
those present its status and what we had previously proposed to
the State as a settlement.
Resolution No. 15-66 of the City of Morro Bay was submitted to the
State, and said Resolution set forth certain provisions that would
be acceptable to the City towards settlement of the existing law
suit. Resolution No. 16-66 authorized the signing of the sewer
hook-up agreement and was contingent upon compliance by the State
of the provisions of Resolution 15-66.

mentioned Resolutions be rescinded, and that the matter be
referred to a committee of the Council and members of the City
staff, and that they be directed to meet with members of the

discussion relative to the solution of this problem of access
and settlement of the existing law suit. It was recommended

Pier.
City Administrator stated that the existing fender pilings on
the City Pier are in need of repairs and plans and specifications
were approved by the Council and a Notice to Contractors was duly
published. Two bids have been received, and -on evaluation it has
been determined that the bids are excessive and he recommended
that both bids be rejected.
On recommendation from the City Engineer and Director of Public
Works, he requested the Council to authorize the expenditure of
the funds budgeted for this project for pilings only. Said
pilings to be stock -piled and installed on a force acc6unt basis

C-4 Resolution re: Intention to Abandon Easement
Mr. White reviewed the past actions on this matter for the bene-
fit of the Council and explained that upon review of the ease-
ments as they now exist, we can find no purpose in keeping said.
easements for street or road -way purposes. He recommended that
the abandonment procedures be followed.
In view of the fact that the statutes are not clear as to which
provision of said statutes would apply in this particular in-
stance, two resolutions have been prepared regarding said abandon-
ment. It has been suggested by the City Attorney that both of
these resolutions be adopted.
C-4a Resolution No. 39-66. RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO
ABANDON R A B C EASEMENTS AND SETTING DATE

MOTION: Councilman Bowen moved that we adopt Resolution No
39-66. Councilman Mallery seconded. Roll call

and that May 10, 1966, at 7:30 P.M. be set for public
hearing. Councilman Keiser seconded. Roll call vote,
unanimously passed.
C-5 Ordinance No. 35 - Interim Sign Ordinance
City Administrator stated that the interim Sign Ordinance was
adopted for a 90-day period and said 90 days will expire on May
9, 1966, and that a special meeting will have to be called on or
before that date to readopt said interim ordinance. A compre-
hensive Sign Ordinance is now being considered by the Planning
Commission.

Mr. White then read Resolution No. 41-66 in full.
MOTION: Councilman Bickford moved that Resolution No. 41-66

C-6 Appointment of Councilman for Economic Opportunity
Commission
Councilman Keiser volunteered to represent the Council on this
Commission.
MOTION: Mayor Surfluh moved that Councilman Keiser be appointed
to the Economic Opportunity Commission. Councilman
Bowen seconded. Motion carried.
OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. White requested that the Council make a ruling on two budgeted
projects that bids have been received on. One is for paving of
the City Hall parking lot, and the other is for the paving of the
Maintenance Yard next to the treatment plant. Two bids have been
received for each of these projects.
As separate bid items, each bid falls below the specified limit
as set forth in the Purchasing Ordinance whereby no formal con-
tract procedure is required. However, the low bid in each case
was from the same contractor at 13h cents per square foot, and
on combining these two they exceed the $2,000.00 limit as speci-
fied in the Purchasing Ordinance.
In order to clarify this matter, it was felt that it should be
presented to the Council requesting their approval of the low
bid from R. H. Beecham, General Contractor, for approximately
15,800 square feet of paving. Mayor Surfluh entertained a
motion that the bid be granted to R. H. Beecham.
MOTION: Councilman Bickford moved that we grant the con-
tract to R. H. Beecham to furnish paving in the
amount of 15,800 square feet at 13h cents per
square foot. Councilman Mallery seconded. Motion
carried.

A-1 Litigation Report.
The City Attorney reviewed the Thomas, et al law suit. A
summation of the sequence of events leading up to today was
given. The area being claimed by the plaintiffs was outlined
and the effects on the growth and development of the Harbor
were discussed. This law suit consists of 28 people claiming
ownership of the built up portion from the Easterly line of the
Embarcadero out to, and including a portion of the sand spit. Of
dll of the law suits that the City is involved in, the Thomas
action is the only one that is holding up the orderly growth and
development of the Harbor area. The status of this law suit as
it now exists was discussed in depth.
A review was given of the law suit in which the County is attempting
to regain the personal property and possession of the Harbor office.
This case is being heard in the Justice Court and has now been
deferred by the Court, though it is still pending.
County vs. City. This law suit consists of a claim by the County
to title to seven parcels of non -grant property in the Harbor
area. The property in question lies north of 8th Street and on
the sand spit. The current status of this case was discussed and
actions taken by the City in defense of title were thoroughly re-
viewed.
The bed tax law suit now awaits a decision from the District Court
of Appeals.- Nothing further to report at this time.
Members of the City Council directed questions to the City Attorney
in regards to matters relative to the aforementioned law suits.
Questions were also posed by members of the audience regarding the
City's actions in the Thomas law suit, and they were clarified by
the City Attorney.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
B-1 Resolution No. 27-66. RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT
FOR PLANNING SERVICES AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO.
13-66.
The City Administrator stated that in February, 1966, the City
Council passed the resolution approving and submitting an agree-
ment for planning services to the County of San Luis Obispo for
their approval. They have taken exception to the provisions of
said agreement and have submitted an agreement that they have
approved as to form. After review by City staff, it is recommended
that the County Agreement be approved.
Mr. White then read Resolution No. 27-66 in its entirety.
Discussion was held by members of the Council in regards to the
MINUTES - City Council Meeting

services to be performed by the County Planning Director, and
it was determined that in order to provide the necessary ser-
vices, this agreement should be approved.
MOTION: Councilman Payne moved that Resolution No. 27-66
be approved and that the Mayor be authorized to
sign the Agreement. Councilman Bowen seconded.
Roll call vote, unanimously passed.
B-2 Bid results for used fire apparatus.
The City Administrator informed the Council that a request 'for
bid was submitted to five fire equipment manufacturers in accord-
ance with the provisions of Purchasing Rules and Regulations.
One provision in the instructions to bidders was that a value
for trade-in of certain equipment that is no longer acceptable
for use be included within the bid. The low bidder, Howe Fire
Apparatus Company, has submitted the highest figure of $1,000
for trade-in for the two units. Subsequent to this, the action
of the Council in approving the low bid, there was some indication
from members of the audience that these units should be advertised
for public bid. A legal advertisement was placed in a news-
paper of general circulation within the City, and sealed bids were
called for for the two used pieces of fire apparatus. Only one bid
was received and this was submitted by Mr. Joe Giannini in the
amount of $1,159.95. All conditions of the bid instructions have
been met and we, therefore, submit this to the Council for their
approval, review or rejection.
Mr. White further recommended that this amount be applied to the
purchase price of the new apparatus, and that the successful bidder
for the used apparatus be advised that delivery could not be made
until the new truck has been delivered, and that he also be advised
that State law will prohibit transfer of title of these used trucks
equipped with red light and siren.
Comments were made by Mr. Hugh Case and Mr. Al&en Boren regarding
the sale of the used fire apparatus. Mr. White clarified the rea-
suns for replacing this equipment for the benefit of those present.
MOTION: Councilman Zinn moved to accept the bid of Mr. Joe
Giannini in the amount of $1,1S9.9S for the two used
pieces of fire apparatus, transfer of title to be
made on delivery of the new fire truck. Seconded by
Councilman Bowen. Passed unanimously-

Council Committee consisting of Councilmen Payne and Crass. A
meeting was held by the Committee, the City Attorney and the
City Administrator with the principals of Central Coast Investors.
Subsequent to this meeting, a review was made of their files con-
cerning the lease sites in question. It was suggested to Central
Coast Investors that they appear tonight to present their develop-
ment to the Council for their consideration.
Dr. G. Warren Johnson, of Central COast Investors, addressed the
Council and read a prepared statement on their proposal for de-
velopment of lease sites 200 and 201. Members of the City Council
asked questions relative to said development.
Mr. Kardel reviewed the existing lease in depth to bring before the
Council the legal problems involved in resolving the problems of
Central Coast Investors. Discussion was held by members of the
City Council, the principals of Central Coast Investors and City
staff relative to procedures to be followed to expedite this matter.
The City Attorney further recommended to the Council that, after
discussion, this matter be again referred to the Committee and City
staff, and that within a two week period the proper documentation
be made so that it can be acted upon at an early date.
MOTION: Mayor Surfluh moved that the Council Committee and City
staff prepare their recommendations for submission to
the City Council for the next regular meeting. Motion
seconded by Councilman Bowen. Unanimously passed.

B-5 Letter from Shell Oil Company regarding lowering of
sign.
Mr. White read letter dated March 8, 1966, from R. W. Lowe, Sales
Supervisor of Shell Oil Company, whereby they propose to lower
their sign 20 feet to a height of 54 feet above the ground. This
matter has been submitted to the Planning Commission, and they have
recommended to the Council that this proposal be accepted. They
further recommend that a letter be directed to Shell Oil Company
expressing appreciation on behalf of the City for Shell's efforts
in lowering the sign to a more reasonable height.
Mayor Surfluh entertained a motion that a letter of authorization
to lower said sign be issued to Shell Oil Company, and that we
express our appreciation for their considerhtion of our request.
MOTION: Councilman Zinn so moved. Seconded by Councilman
Payne. Unanimously approved.
B-6 Request to amend sign ordinance - Pacific Telephone
Company
Mr. White stated this is a letter request from the Pacific Telephone
Company regarding signs and it has been submitted to the Planning
Commission for study and review. Recommendations from the Planning
Commission are pending.
B-7 Letter from Peter Tomasovich regarding zoning of
property on Morro Street.
Mr. Tomasovich's letter was read to the members of the Council.
Mr. White reviewed the sequence of events leading to this request
that subject property be rezoned from R-3 to commercial. Members
of the Council reviewed the facts relating to the rezoning of pro-
perty adjacent to that of Mr. Tomasovich and the procedures that
had been followed. Members of the City staff commented on the
provisions of existing ordinances that relate to the current use
of the subject property.
After a lengthy discussion, Councilman Zinn stated that he felt
no decision should be made at this time, and suggested that this
matter be deferred to a later meeting after each individual council-
man has had a chance to view the property.
Mayor Surfluh asked that each councilman make it a point to view
subject property and directed that this matter be placed on the
Agenda for the next regular meeting of the City Council.
B-8 Request of Director of Public Works regarding channel
clearing of Morro Creek.
Mr. Spellacy was called upon to review the conditions as they exist

in the channel of Morro Creek between Highway 1 and the ocean.
Many problems have been encountered in the past due to the
condition of the existing channel across the sand dunes and
the extensive wind erosion that occurs and obstructs the channel.
Mr. Spellacy recommended that in order to alleviate this problem,
the channel of Morro Creek will have to be designed and some
method of stabilizing the channel should be arrived at.
On contact with Robert Born, County Hydraulic Engineer, we have
been advised that the best course of action to follow would be
through the County Flood Control District. Mr. Spellacy re-
quested that he be authorized to negotiate with Mr. Born's office
to determine the most feasible course of action to follow.
Immediate measure have been taken to stabilize the channel by
sand -bagging a portion of the stream bed. This is, however, only
an interim solution to the problem, as an extremely high tide
could change the course of the stream, as could drifting sand.
MOTION: Councilman Bowen made the motion that the Director
of Public Works be authorized to work with the
County Flood Control District to arrive at a possible
solution to the flooding condition and channel con-
tTol on Morro Creek. Seconded by Councilman Zinn.
Unanimously approved.

C-2 Resolution No. 30-66. RESOLUTION CHANGING DATES
F CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR APRIL, 1966.
The City Administrator stated that the regular City Council meeting
scheduled for April 12, 1966, would conflict with the date of the'
General Municipal Election, and that the Council is required to
meet on April 19th to seat the newly elected members. Therefore, it
would be in the best interest of the Council to exchange meeting
dates for the month of April with the Planning Commission.

tion only, and the necessary permits may be granted by the
Department of Public Works.
C-S Letter regarding Central Coast Highway Projects
Study Committee Meeting, to be held on Thursday
March 3, 1966, at the Madonna Inn.
It is recommended that the City make a presentation for the possible
extension of Highway 41 from its junction with Highway 1 to the
Embarcadero. Also to request that the Expressway from Atascadero
Road to the northern City limits be converted to a full Freeway
status, with the installation of over -passes at Indigo and Yerba
Buena Streets. It is felt that this would eliminate the many
hazards to pedestrians and traffic on the State highway through
the City. Mayor Surfluh and Councilman Bowen indicated they will
attend the meeting. Mr. White stated that proper maps and material
will be made available, and the City Engineer will make the
presentation.

MOTION: Mayor Surfluh moved that Resolution No. 32-66 be
approved. Councilman Crass seconded. Roll call
vote, unanimously approved.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Information was presented to the Council on the need for certain
maintenance work to be done on the older portion of the wastewater
treatment plant. City forces have just completed cleaning and re-
conditioning the secondary settling tanks, and the older portion of
the plant should be ready for use during the coming summer months.
In the course of reconditioning the tanks, we have found that the
chains required in the operation of the settling tanks are severely
worn and in need of replacement. Quotations were requested from
several companies who manufacture chain, and we have determined tht
only the original supplier will be able to meet the specifications
of the existing chain and drive gears. We cannot, therefore, go to
a public bid procedure to make this needed replacement. If we did
choose to go to bid, we would also have to change all of the drive
gears and the cost would be prohibitive.
This matter was presented for the information of the Council as this
is the first time we have had to deviate from the provisions of the
Purchasing Ordinance.

HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
A-1 Appearance and report of Recreation Study Group.
Mrs. Lila Keiser, Chairman, reported on the findings of the Morro Bay
Recreation Study Group, outlining in detail the needs and aims for a
recreation program within the City of Morro Bay. Recommendations of
the Committee are the hiring of a full time director; the adoption
of a recreation ordinance; the establishment of a five man recrea-
tion commission with a high school student as an ex-officio member.
on school recreation programs and student desires.
Mayor Surfluh then commended the Committee on their report stating
a good start has been made in the development of a recreation program
and the City will do everything possible to expedite this matter,
however, it will require some study as funds are not available this
year and the program will have to be budgeted for in the coming year.
He then recommended a study be made by the City Staff and two members
of the Council and a report made to the City Council.
Councilman Payne stated he felt this matter should be included in
the budget study as to whether it would be feasible to initiate this
next year.
Motion: Councilman Payne moved the report of the Morro Bay City
Recreation Study Group be included in the study of the
forthcoming budget. Councilman Zinn seconded. Unanimously
approved.

March 8, 1966

Mayor Surfluh then appointed Councilmen Payne and Bowen to study
this report and make recommendations to the City Council.
A-2 Litigation Report.
Sometime ago, the City filed an action in the Justice Court in
Morro Bay designed to obtain possession of the Harbor Office and to
obtain the Harbor files as they existed without any deletions. This
was readily accomplished. However, the County escalated the action
through filing against the City a Cross -Complaint following which
there were hearings and proceedings in the Morro Bay Justice Court.
Subsequent to the hearings and proceedings, the County filed a suit
in the Superior Court in San Luis Obispo against the City. This
suit involves many of the same questions raised in the suit in the
Morro Bay Justice Court. An attorneys job is to present his clients
case in the manner which will best serve his client while, at the
same time, being honest and forthright. Thus, the City would be
interested in pursuing the action of the Justice Court which it
originally filed whereas the County would be interested in pro-
ceeding in the Superior Court in the action which it filed in that
Court. After careful analysis, the City attorneys concluded that
the expenses which would be incurred in the future to procede with
the Morro Bay Justice Court probably would be disproportionate to
the advantages to be gained by the City. Therefore, the City
attorneys proposed to the District Attorney that the Justice Court
suit be stopped until such time as a decision is made in the suit
filed by the County against the City in the Superior Court. This
would eliminate one of two law suits at considerable savings to
both governmental entities. The Judge in the Justice Court, Judge
Jensen of Solvang, accepted this suggestion. The County rejected it.
The question is now before the Superior Court in San Luis Obispo.
Possibly this will be resolved in Court next Monday. The hearing
had been scheduled for today, but at the request of the County, the
hearing was delayed for another week. On 1 3/4 pages the City simply
stated the Circumstances of its offer to stop one of these law
suits. It is our position and our judgment that this would be pru-
dent, both for the City and for the County. Nevertheless, evidently
the County objects in that this would leave us in possession of the
Harbor Office and of the Harbor files pending determination of the
other suit.
Today we were in Court in San Luis Obispo regarding the litigation
with the County on the non -grant property. The City took possession
of and has administered the non9grant property since May 14, 1965.
This was done following approximately ten months of urgings by the
County for the City to do so. Approximately four months subsequent
to the City's taking possession and administration of the non -grant
properties, the County approved of that act. However, subsequently
the County concluded that its position was erroneous and that the
City's conduct in taking possession and administration also was
erroneous. The City attorneys argued to the Judge that the County
should not now be permitted to question the validity of the action
because of its efforts to get the City to take the action following
many, many months. The City also objected to the absence of what it
MINUTES - City Council Meeting

believed to be uncertainties in the Complaint of the County. The
Deputy District Attorney stated that the County would be willing
to change the Complaint for the sake of clarity.
Tomorrow the court proceedings will continue with the Judge
listening to the"City's request for all of the information which
the District Attorney has regarding the Thomas matter. This re-
quest is being resisted. The City has filed interrogatories or
questions regarding the matter with respect to which the City would
like answers. The objection by the County has been that the expense
involved would be unreasonable. One of the objections cites a cost
of $36,000.00 which represents the approximate salary of a Deputy
District Attorney for 3-1/2 years.
Next week the hearings will continue with the Thomas, et al suit
being involved. This is a most unfortunate suit in that it is
between the City add many of its citizens. However, this suit is
one which the City has inherited from the County and which it is
bound to defend. One of the questions before the Court will be the
City's Demurrer which has previously been reviewed. Also considered
will be a Motion to Strike based upon two facts. The one is that
many of the plaintiffs allegedly agreed to a property line a number
of years ago which is the Easterly line of the Embarcadero. The
other fact is that many of the plaintiffs are leasing the property
they now claim to own. This is inconsistent with ownership of the
property.
Pursuant to the Councils' instructions, we have worked diligently
on the Thomas action to bring it to a conclusion as quickly as
possible consistent with protecting the public interested. At this
point, the plaintiffs in that action may be amenable to a settle-
ment conference. If so, the Council should consider meeting with
all the plaintiffs or their representative to ascertain what areas
of agreement may exist as well as the areas of disagreement. This
may reduce the area of conflict as well as may lead to one or more
of the plaintiffs settling with the City. If such a meeting is to
be held there will be questions of time, date, place and other
questions which must be resolved. For example, should the meeting
be public or private? Should all of the Council members or a member
or committee of the Council meet with the plaintiffs? A Chairman
may be in order who would control the proceedings. We suggest that
if this seems reasonable to the Council that a committee of the
Council be appointed to study the matter, confer with some of the
plaintiffs and then make recommendations at the next Council meeting
as to how such a meeting could be held.
Councilman Zinn asked what the response had been regarding the
Demand for Undertaking. Mr. Kardel responded that a deposit of
$200.00 to protect the City on recoverable costs and $200.00 to pro-
tect the State of California had been made. Also, the pleadings
which the City had filed in the Thomas action were adopted virtually
word for word by the State of California through the Attorney
Generals office. This includes the Demand for Undertaking, Demurrer
and Motion to Strike. We are optimistic that the Judge will in-'
crease the amount of the bond or deposit to protect these govern-
mental entities and to test the sincerity of the plaintiffs in the
action.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Mr. Kardel stated his report on the Wilson lease would be quite
lengthy, therefore if the Council wished, the next item on the Agenda
could be discussed at this time.
B-2 Resolution No. 17-66. RESOLUTION ADOPTING A SYSTEM OF
STREET NAMES AND NUMBERS.
Mayor Surfluh said this matter has been discussed by the Council at
two public hearings and by the Planning Commission at two public
hearings.
Mr. White reviewed the recommendations of the Planning Commission
stating the Council referred this matter back to the Commission who
went over the matter in depth and there were quite a few interested,
people who appeared to comment on the street name changes proposed
by the Council. He then presented two petitions; one signed by 22
residents residing at one common address on Cabrillo Street, and
one signed by businessmen on Main Street and other interested
citizens. He advised that the Telephone Company is particularly
interested due to the deadline date of June 15th for listings in
the directory. Signs will be prepared covering commercial and major
thoroughfares first and all residents will be notified by the Depart-
ment of Public Works as to name and numbers as they apply. The
Council has tentatively approved Main Street, however, the Commission
favors Cabrillo.
Councilman Payne noted seven streets have yet to be agreed upon.
Councilman Zinn then reaffirmed his position regarding the retention
of Arcadia Street, Morro Avenue and Piney Way.

B-1 Request for assignment of lease - Wm. Wilson.
Mr. White stated this matter was assigned to a committee of the
City Council to work with the City Attorney, who had been working
with subject's attorney, and today the two attorneys arrived at some
solution.
Mr. Kardel stated this evening is important, not only to the people
involved, the Wilsons and the Andersons, but to others in the Harbor
who may from time to time come to the City for a sublease approval.
Therefore it is well that Council, in its entirety, consider its
situation in relation to the Wilsons and Andersons. As the City
Administrator stated, we have approached this matter, on direction
of the City Council, from a standpoint of courtesy and consideration
of these lessees. We have consulted with Councilmen Crass and Payne,
Who in turn have discussed the matter with the Wilsons and the
Andersons. We have discussed it,with the Attorney for the parties
involved. A number of conferences have been held,the last one this
morning, up to the time we went into Court on another matter. It
was approached on the basis that we, as a governmental entity, have
the duty of protecting the public interest, yet at the same time we
don't have the right to simply prepare a document stating that this
is the way things are and you can either take it or leave it. We
have answered the questions of the Wilsons and Andersons. We placed
it in draft form and submitted it to their attorney for review, and
this we will review this evening and it can probably be finalized.
It is then again a matter of courtesy and consideration for these
people that the document should be presented to them again for in-
spection and acceptance.
The City of Morro Bay has a responsibility to the State of California
in administering of the State granted tidelands. They have conducted
an investigation of our handling of the Harbor since incorporation
and have found that we have done a good job. We wish to continue it
that way. We realize that Morro Bay is going to continue this re-
lationship of subdominant rule only so long as the State Authorities
respect us for the quality of our work in taking care of the Harbor.
We do not have a position of political power that is going to permit
us to hold onto this trust. This is why we must consider being again
reviewed by the State. We will continue our administration only
based on our good work. The City Attorneys have a considerable de-

with other governmental entities on behalf of private parties.
Mr. Kardel then went through the Agreement, section by section.
Councilman Zinn asked, how near is the agreement to signing, do
we just need Council determination?
Mr. Kardel replied, if this is the Council's feelings, there are
three things to consider:
a. Approve and acknowledge the sublease and that these are the
people the City would be willing to deal with.
b. That any existing default be cured before the City signs any
sublease agreement.
c. Sublease agreement to be signed as delineated by me this evening,
subject to Council approval.
Councilman Payne stated if the parties here tonight wish to make a
statement, now is the opportunity to do so.
Mr. Anderson stated the matter was well covered in a meeting with
the lessee and that they are in agreement with everything as out-
lined, however, they would like to be a party to any meeting with
the lessee on the leased property. They would be agreeable to the
decision of the Council.
Mr. Kardel then reviewed the proposed agreement answering questions
relating to specific sections. Discussion was held at length on the
various sections of the proposed Agreement. Conclusions reached
and to be so specified in this sublease agreement, and subsequent
subleases, were as follows, each section relating to the same numbered
section as set forth and reviewed by the City Attorney:
Section 1. Lease to be based on that lease signed in March of 1961.
Section 2. The parties to this lease, the City, the Lessee and Sub-
lessee, to recognize, by written agreement, that the
City now is substituted to ownership interest in the
property and to the rights and lawful obligations of the
County.
Section 3. Term of sublease to be three years.
Section 4. The lease fees to be paid to the City from the date of
incorporation and, in the event the Courts determine that
these monies should have been paid to someone else, then
the City will so disperse these funds to the other party.
Section S. Notice of default to be given the lessee with ten days
notice to correct said default. The lessee to be re-
sponsible for any violations of the lease either by them-

Section 6. The sublessee to agree to abide by the terms of the
lease.
Section 7. In the event any modification to the existing lease is
to be made, the sublessee is to be notified and per-
mitted to act as observer in the sessions.
Section 8. The lessee to keep the City informed as to their current
mailing address.
Section 9. The sublessee to agree that they will not assign, sub-
lease or transfer their interest without consent of the
City.
Section 10. The lessee and sublessee to agree that by virtue of their
relationship as lessee and sublessee, that this in no
way places them in any better position with the City or
State than any other lessee in the Harbor area, and that
the lessee must comply with all terms and conditions of
the existing lease prior to approval of the sublease by
the City.
Motion: Councilman Payne moved that the City accept Mr. and Mrs.
Anderson as sublessees. Councilman Zinn seconded. Unanimously
approved.
Motion: Councilman Zinn moved that existing defaults be cured before
the City signs any agreement. Councilman Crass seconded.
Unanimously approved.
Motion: Councilman Zinn moved that the sublease be approved subject
to the terms and conditions set forth at this meeting.
Councilman Payne seconded. Unanimously approved.
Mr. Jack Youngs, Realtor, stated he had several subleases or•leases
to be resolved and asked what procedures should be followed.
Mr. Kardel stated the problem of subleases is solved and the Council
is now talking about policy on the assignment of leases. When you
have a responsible party that presents himself and wants to do busi-
ness on the waterfront, the Council is willing to give the request
every consideration. I would suggest you come in and make a sub-
mission on any proposal you may have. By the action tonight, there
is a good deal of policy established. We are in a fortunate position
in that we have a good reputation for being particular and we believe
that we are going to find the State will defer to us because of that
fact; being able to document what we are doing and why we are doing
it.
Mr. Youngs stated if something concrete can be established then we
can talk to our clients.

Mr. Kardel replied that we do not have procedures to follow on
leases, subleases and assignments, that are printed and can be
handed out. We are currently working on two recommendations for
lease document agreements so that a lease is merchantable and so
that we can deal effectively with it. In dealing with an individual
the Council knows the problems of running a business. We are working
on titles to the Harbor property and will establish the property
lines. Three or four surveys show different property lines. They
should be reasonable so that title policies can be issued. These
are the things we feel that are incumbent on any ownership of the
property and this is what the City is trying to do on the Harbor
property. We are working on it, and are meeting weekly on Harbor
leases and management, so come in when you have a problem and we
will make every effort to assist you.

two appliances, a drinking fountain and kitchen unit which have not
been received and the contractor is willing to put up a cash bond in
the amount of the two appliances and labor to install the same. This
is the recommendation of the City Staff as the building has been in-
spected and final approval given by the Architect and Building In-
spector. Mr. Kardel was then asked for a ruling as to the legality
of issuing a notice of completion upon receipt of a cash bond in lieu
of actual installation. He replied in the affirmative.

Mr. White read letter dated February 28, 1966, from J. P. Lapp,
General Refrigeration Service Company regarding Lease Site 144 and
144W. Mr. Lapp wishes to install improvements on a portion of the
undeveloped area of his lease. This use as proposed is in confor-
mance with the trust purposes and the City cannot issue a permit
until Mr. Lapp receives permission from the Council under the exist-
ing lease. Mr. Lapp wishes to extend the dock to cover the remaining
half of Lease Site 144W and to erect a modern steel store building
on a portion of the new dock. He intends to meet all requirements
of the Building Code.
Mayor Surfluh stated that this is a steel building and it is to be
used to repair and display engines. The use is the same as that
existing and the area is in good shape, therefore, there should be
no problems.

C-2 Request of Wm. Casper, Agent for Regal Sea Food Company,
to Permit Installation of Improvements to Lease Sites
129 to 130 and 129W to 130W.
Mr. White stated that by letter dated March 7, 1966, Regal Sea Food
Company requested permission to construct an office and storage
building on Lease Sites 129 - 130, and 129W - 130W. They now oper-
ate under an annual Use Permit, not a lease, at $100 per month. The
improvements would be of a permanent nature, but movable, so that
when the dock requires improvement this particular building can be
moved. The small office building will be constructed in conformance
with the building and safety codes and hooked up to the City sewer
and water. The City can find no objection to this request as it will
improve the area and they will be able to better handle the loading
of trucks which has been a problem in the past. There is no objection
as far as operational functions are concerned under this particular
Use Permit.
Mr. Kardel advised that if Regal Sea Food Company complies with the
Use Permit and Building Code, they can proceed.
Mr. White then stated that under the provisions of a Use Permit any
additions or alterations are subject to City Council approval. On
review of the proposal, we find that this would definitely up -grade
the property now held under the Use Permit.
Motion: Councilman Payne moved that this request be approved as
long as Regal Sea Food Company meets the conditions of
the existing Use Permit and complies with the Building
Code. Councilman Bowen seconded. Unanimously approved.

RESOLUTION APPROVING LOW BID FOR
Mr. White advised this is a standard invitation to bid sent to five
bidders. Two companies responded, the low bidder being Howe Fire
Apparatus Company, in the amount of $15,370.26, exclusive of Federal,
State and Local taxes. Trade-ins were noted and the contract will be
based on a four year lease purchase with five percent interest.
Councilman Payne stated this is a budgeted item previously considered
by the Council.
Fire Chief Reiger then displayed a drawing of the proposed apparatus,
explaining in detail its construction and use. This unit, a Patrol
Pumper, is also utilized as a rescue unit and can be operated by one
man in the event of a fire emergency or rescue. It is fully equipped
and can operate as a separate unit and respond and control most any
fire in its early stages. It is easily maneuvered and will be used
for the burning of lots. Mr. Bartlow, representative of Howe Fire
Apparatus Company, assured the Council this is an excellent piece of
apparatus, and his company builds many similar units each year.
Mr. Hugh Case addressed the Council and stated "I think at this time
you should pick some citizen of this town to -look these things over
first and give an opinion. It should be looked over, not by City
personnel, nor the Company who is selling the equipment, but by
someone else".
Councilman Bowen replied stating, "in deference to our former Fire
Chief, Mr. White, and present Fire Chief Reiger, who have gone over
these matters very carefully with consideration for the City, it was
explained to me personally, and, they have explained the necessity
for this equipment to this City. I am in thorough accord with their
findings. I am a layman and not an expert on fire equipment, and I
agree you should go where expert advice is provided; which the Council
has done".
Mayor Surfluh replied this matter has been thoroughly considered and
the Council is in favor of purchasing the equipment.as justification
and reasons are valid. The equipment is needed and should be pur-
chased.
Mr. Case then stated he felt the Council had given this due considera-
tion.
Mr. Gianini asked about the differences on the trade-in on the two
bids, and whether the trucks could be purchased by a private individual.

C-6 Letter of request from Director of Environmental Sanitation,
County of San Luis Obispo.
Mr. White advised of the receipt of a Memorandum dated March 2, 1966,
from the San Luis Obispo Department of Public Health, Director of
Environmental Sanitation, regarding Disposal of Chemical Toilet and
Septic Tank Cleanings. The present County policy is to allow the
discharge of waste material on undeveloped grazing land. This leaves
much to be desired in the protection of the general public and they
are asking that incorporated Cities or sanitary districts permit
discharge of this material to their respective community sewer systems.
A report has been submitted by the Department of Public Works and Mr.
R. Walsh, State of California Water Pollution Control Board has been
contacted. Control is necessary in this area.
Mr. Spellacy then stated the primary functions of the Wastewater
Treatment Plant is the reduction of organic materials and purifying
and sterilization of final plant discharges. The plant functions
biologically and any change in this environment causes damage and
affects the final plant discharge and operation. Any waste that is
picked up often contains foreign articles, such as cans, toys, etc.,
and this could cause damage to the barminuter, or chopper and in-
volve a considerable cost for repairs. Should the City take this
type of material it would require a dump box with a weir and straining
device. Previously, chemical toilet companies used chemicals which
destroyed the bacteria in the treatment plant thus rendering it in-
effective. This has been discontinued and they are,now using odor
controlling detergents. The Cities of Paso Robles and Santa Maria
allow no septic tank dumping, however, they have allowed chemical
toilets to enter their systems. Ventura has an ordinance prohibiting
any dumping of any waste material other than within the City limits.
Mayor Surfluh said the City is taking a chance in running into
hazardous conditions which can cause the sewage plant process to fail.
Mr. White stated that the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant has a
much stricter requirement for the degree of treatment because of the
recreational facilities on the beach area, i.e., shell fish and clams,
and we are naturally concerned that we can meet the requirements of
the Health Department. He then recommended the matter be referred

Mr. White stated that the condition of the fender piles demand that
some action be taken to protect the pier itself, and fender piles
are required now to protect the major City dock. This will be
accomplished by normal phasing, specifying installation of fender
piles with an additional six piles driven at the same time for in-
stallation of fender piles for City floats. Bids will be requested
in two ways; the contractor can furnish the fender piles or the City
can furnish the piling. There are two known sources whereby we may
be able to obtain used, treated piling which is the proper length
and priced at a considerable savings. The City will take the most
advantageous bid.

Mr. Spellacy outlined in detail the proposed project. Chanelling
will be accomplished by painted striping rather than concrete barri-
cades in the event future changes become necessary. Curbs and

trade-in period, and if this is the case, the trucks should be shown
and published for bid rather than sold on a first -come, first -serve
basis. Mr. White stated the trade-in procedure is normal and used to
good advantage by most all Fire Departments and the City will make ,
every effort to obtain the highest dollar value for these particular,
units by advertising for bids if the Council so desires.

Motion: Councilman Crass moved to adjourn to Executive Session.
Seconded by Councilman Bowen and passed unanimously.
Discussion held in depth regarding a meeting attended by Mayor Surfluh
and Councilman Bowen last week with representatives of the State
Division of Parks and Recreation and Senator Vernon Sturgeon. This
meeting was held on the site of the proposed access routes to the
Atascadero Beach State Park.
A report was given of this meeting and a subsequent meeting of a�
Council Committee consisting of Mayor Surfluh and Councilman Bowen
to work out the details of a course of action to recommend to the
Council whereby a settlement to the current litigation relating to
the Atascadero Beach State Park access routes could be reached. Mayor
Surfluh and Councilman Bowen both indicated that the attitude of the
State representatives seemed to indicate a willingness to settle the
problems of access to the park facility.
Mr. Fred Jones, Director of the Division of Parks and Recreation
acted as spokesman of the group at the meeting and a possible course
of action towards eventual settlement was discussed. Also discussed
was the need for the City's approval of the sewer hookup agreement
that has been pending for several months.
Mayor Surfluh informed the Council of the recommendations of the
committee after discussion with the City Attorney and asked that Mr.
Kardel review the procedures to be followed.
Mr. Kardel then presented two resolutions in draft form that were
prepared as per the Council Committee's request. One resolution
pertaining to access and the other to sewer hookup. After lengthy
discussion and some modification and amendment to said resolutions
the final amended resolutions were read in full.

Scout Week. Cub Master Don Smith and Cub Scout George Kouremetis
Jr., Pack 218,Den 8, were asked to step forward to receive the Pro-
clamation.
Mr. White then read 'Proclamation - Boy Scout Week', in
its entirety.
Mayor Surfluh welcomed both Don Smith and George Kouremetis Jr.,
`.stating 'it is with a great deal of pride that I sign this proclama-
tion'. He then presented the proclamation to George Kouremetis Jr.,

A-2 Proclamation Re: DeMolay Week

A-3 Hearing on denial of variance to Darwin Tartaglia.
Mr. White advised that this hearing was duly advertised to consider
the appeal of Darwin Tartaglia to allow a variance for a five foot
rear yard setback on Lot 4, Block 1, Morro Bay Vista Tract No. 3,
MINUTES - City Council Meeting
February 8, 1966
PAGE TWO
City of Morro Bay. This matter was considered by the Planning Com;
mission on December 21, 196S, and continued until January 4, 1966.
The application is to allow a variance for a five foot rear yard
setback instead of the required ten feet in order to enlarge the
existing residence by adding a second story structure. R-2 Zone
requires a ten foot setback in the rear to allow for adequate light,
air, ventilation and fire access.
Councilman Bowen asked if Mr. Tartaglia was in the audience and he
was not in attendance.
Mr. White then stated the Planning Commission has recommended against
the granting of this variance since there is no hardship involved and
it appears that the plans can be adjusted. He then directed attention
to a map showing the size and location of the lot, stating that in
enlarging the residence it limits the rear yard area and again stating
the Planning Commissions recommended denial.
Councilman Bowen stated it was his understanding that the family is
increasing and they own the property, therefore, if it is feasible
to enlarge the property it would help them financially in providing
for their increasing family.
Mr. White stated that strict compliance with the law regarding
variances must be maintained and a hardship must be present. A hard-
ship can be defined as a denial to a property owner the right that
other surrounding property owners enjoy.
Mr. McIntire then clarified the law. A variance is granted under
conditions as Mr. White stated. The reason of particular concern to
Mr. Tartaglia is that he is being deprived of a use that other prop-
erty owners in the same area and under the same zoning are permitted.
This is the basis for the hearing.
Mr. Jack Robert, Mr. Tartaglia's employer, addressed the Council
stating Mr. Tartaglia doesn't care now whether he is granted the
variance or not as he has purchased another lot.
Mayor Surfluh then stated that many people are misinformed regarding
the granting of a variance. The City has guide lines to follow set
by State Law.
Motion: Councilman Payne moved the City Council concur with the
decision of the Planning Commission in a denial of this
variance. Councilman Crass seconded. Unanimously approved.
The request for the variance was denied.
A-4 Harbor report for month of January, 1966.
Mr. White noted this item was omitted from the Agenda, however,
copies have been made available to each Councilman and members of the
press, therefore the report will not be read.

B-1 Resolution No. 13-66. RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT FOR
PLANNING SERVICES.
MINUTES - City Council Meeting
February 8, 1966
PAGE THREE
Mr. White stated this is an agreement by and between the County of
San Luis Obispo and the City of Morro'Bay. He then noted letter
dated February 9, 1966, to the City Council from the City Attorney's
Office recommending that the agreement previously submitted by the
Board of Supervisors be disapproved in that it does not adequately
protect the interests of the City.
Mr. McIntire then referred -to letter dated May 3, 1965, from Ned
Rogoway, County Planning Director, stating specifically what services
we would contract for. The agreement as presented is sufficient from
the standpoint of one party but not from the standpoint of the City
in that it doesn't incorporate some of the matters outlined by Mr.
Rogoway in his original proposal of May 3, 1965.
Mr. White stated the agreement prepared by the City doesn't affect
too many specific changes or clarifications, except as to who does
what type of work and the time involved. It provides that the Plan-
ning Director attend various meetings and either the Planning Director
or appropriate personnel of the Planning Department shall 'participate
in study sessions, staff conferences or site inspections.
Councilman Payne stated since there are some changes recommended it
might be well to go through the entire agreement.
Mr. White then read the proposed agreement and the matter
was discussed in depth, noting comparisons and changes.
Mr. McIntire reviewed Mr. Rogoway's letter of May 3, 1965, stating
that he will, under the provisions of his proposal, operate.as City
Planning Director when he is working for the City.
Mr. White then read Resolution No. 13-66 in its entirety.
Motion: Councilman Bowen moved that Resolution No. 13-66 be approved.
Councilman Payne seconded. Roll call vote, unanimously
approved.
B-2 Report and recommendation from Planning Commission re:
variance for car wash.
Mr. White stated this matter was referred back to the Planning Com-
mission at the last Council meeting for determination of the proper
zoning fora coin operated car wash, as it was thought by some that
a car wash closely parallels that of a service station which is
normally zoned as C-1. If the use proposed was not a proper C-1 use
a variance would be required because he would be denied the right
that other property owners in the same area enjoy, such as the
service station across the street. It was a unanimous decision of
the Commission that a variance be granted but upon recommendation
of the City Attorney this matter was referred back to the Planning
Commission for study and determination as to zoning and classifica-
tion. The Planning Commission, at the request of the City Council.,
has determined that a coin operated car wash is an allowable use in
a C-1 Zone, and, more particularly a C-1-D classification. Mr.
Waldron, the applicant, is willing to comply with the conditions of
the Planning Commission regarding the off and on ramps; backing onto
the sidewalks; paving entire area and centralized drainage. Mr. White

then noted that there are two trees, one on each side of the proposed
ingress driveway, one tree is located about two-thirds on the owners
property and one-third on City property and one tree in the middle
of the sidewalk area. The applicant, Mr. Waldron, would like approval
to remove the tree lying wholly within the sidewalk area in order to
put in the required sidewalk and grade the property. The visual
effect of the property, the installation of the driveway and site
distances will be improved if the tree is removed. A building permit
has not been issued to date as it is contingent upon development of
the site as required by a conditional use permit.
Mr. White requested that the Council by minute action, approve the
removal of the most westerly tree growing on City property at a cost
to the property owner in compliance with his request and that he be
allowed to install an eleven foot sidewalk with a four foot planter.
Councilman Payne stated he has always felt our hands were tied in
this situation in that a C-1 area can be developed but he feels this
is a dangerous location for this type of business, traffic wise.
However, we do have to proceed and the tree should be removed but as
far as this type of operation in this area is concerned he has doubts
concerning traffic conditions and that eventually there will be a
serious traffic problem.
Mr. White stated that in the plans for the development of this area,
traffic can very easily be rerouted to eliminate left turns noting
this was also a concern of the Planning Commission. He does feel,
however, that people who.own property should be granted the right
to develop and use that property and that the City should do every-
thing possible to eliminate the traffic hazard and that the problem
can be resolved by proper signing and channelling of the traffic.
Councilman Crass said he feels the same way in that when an area is
zoned C-1 a man has the right to use his property accordingly. It
is up to the City to handle the traffic problems which can be re-
solved.
Mayor Surfluh entertained a motion to allow removal of the specified
tree and install an eleven foot sidewalk with a four foot planter
instead of a fifteen foot sidewalk.
Motion: Councilman Bowen moved that permission'be granted to the
applicant to remove the tree and install an eleven foot
sidewalk with a four foot planter instead of the required
fifteen foot sidewalk. Councilman Crass seconded.
Unanimously approved.

C-1 Request for assignment of lease - Wm. Wilson
Mr. White advised of the receipt of a letter on February 7, 1966, to
the City from Harold J. Anderson requesting assignment to hi'm of the
lease of Mr. and Mrs. William K. Wilson.
Mr. McIntire stated he had contacted the Attorney for these parties
this morning, who appeared pleased that we were calling him so soon

to talk about this assignment when they were still in the process of
drafting the initial documents of transfer. The Attorney advised us
that he had just received a signed document by both parties proposing
a sublease contingent upon the City's approval, characterized as a
sublease rather than an assignment. In recieving a copy of the
document today, which we have not had an opportunity to fully review
as it is 16 pages long and quite comprehensive. We would suggest that
this matter be referred to us for preparation of the necessary documents
to the Council to execute this matter, if that be the Council's desire,
consistent of course, with protecting the City's interest in the lease-
hold property. He pointed out that we were advised that some modifica-
tions were proposed in the property itself in conjunction with this
transfer or sublease. The existing buildings will be improved and
remodeled and there will be some of the laundry facilities improved,
kitchen handling, etc. It is anticipated that the assignee can go
ahead with the remodeling without the approval of the sublease by
securing the proper building permit, but at the moment, since we first
saw it today, we haven't had the full opportunity to review the sub-
lease and make our recommendations to the Council. There is no objec-
tion on the part of the parties involved to additional time which is
necessary in order to review the documents and report back to the
Council.
Mr. McIntire stated that he has reviewed the document at length orally
with the Attorneys and that it is a sublease for three years with an
assignment at the end of that time. There are a number of terms and
conditions, however, that may or may not affect this sublease, and
we frankly don't know as we haven't gone into sufficient detail to
be able to say at this time. Perhaps one of the conditions of this
assignment may be that there may be some local ordinance or architec-
tural standards that the lessees haven't complied with. We don't
anticipate any large problems. We suggest and recommend to both
parties that we work with their Attorneys on this matter. If this is
your inclination we will work with them in'order to prepare the
documents necessary to execute this transfer. If not, we can review,
study and merely report back at the next Council meeting.
Councilman Bowen asked if this was an established and operating
business at the present time and he was informed that it was. He
stated further that it must be a legitimate business and it appears
that this is just a change of ownership. Are we being too pressing
on our waterfront at the moment to put a roadblock in everybody's
way that wants to develop and do we have to go into such detail for
something as simple as this?
Mayor Surfluh stated the City Council doesn't want to act in any way
to deter people wanting to go into business, but we want to do what
is right all the way round.
Mr. McIntire stated I am not prepared at this time to go into detail
on this transfer as we don't have all the factual material, but I
hope to satisfy Mr. Bowen on some of the questions that came to light.
I am not referring to any specific person or any specific lease.
These are problems that may arise or have arisen in the past. We
first must understand that the City is not the owner of the property,
but a trustee of the property and as such, has a higher duty in
administering said property than if it was merely City owned property

with no trust obligation attached. Now the City cannot and should
not stand in the way of a transfer of a business. We must, however,
operate within the terms of the trust on the waterfront because the
City does have an interest in the real property beneath the improve-
ments. Questions arise regarding a lease - what is the background;
is it a sublease, assignment, sale; what is the legal effect? It is
the law that when a person turns property over to another person or
signs a contract to another person, both parties are to some extent
bound until the earlier party, the assignor, is released. This
means, in effect, that in an assignment, which of the lessees, the
assignee or assignor is responsible in the event of a breach of that
lease. Normally the person in business is responsible but this
particular assignment has a clause that permits the assignor to come
back in and take over in the event the present tenant doesn't meet
the conditions of the lease. Then the City has a sublease that is
complicated because if there is a breach of the lease, the question
arises that we may have to remove the subtenant, but does it mean
the City can get it back or does the original lessee regain possesion.
If he is out of State, how do we communicate with him when the City
has an interest in the property. His interest is getting money from
the assignee, but when it stops he will want to do something about
it. It hasn't happened to the City yet, but it has happened to
leases in the past. A lease being operated by any person, agency, or
corporation, with a sublease or some leasehold interest in the
property immediately raises the question, can an assignment or a
particular lease allow someone to take over that is unknown to the
City. Another situation that may arise is that when one party sub-
leases a specific lease it may include other provisions, rent dura-
tion time, etc., which is contrary to one of the provisions in the
specific lease and the question arises, which document controls, the
original lease, or the new sublease approved by the City. Another
problem is specific use of trust property. This is trust property
and the City has certain obligations with regards to said trust
property. The City cannot, tonight, decide to lease or sublease a
parcel of the trust property without knowing all of the facts relat-
ing to the lease or sublease. This is our view of current lease
situations that may arise and there are many other problems that may
arise that should be looked at before the Council can act. Before
the Council can approve an assignment or sublease they have to know
exactly what they are approving. This is the reason it is necessary
for the Council to have something in writing showing what particular
conditions are agreed upon. Then you know, and having known, can
then impose conditions if needed. A breach by one party is a breach
by both and for the protection of the City we must have a document
that will be signed by all parties concerned prior to approving a
sublease.
Councilman Bowen stated that he doesn't feel it is as complicated as
the Attorney is making it. The Council is dealing with people of
this City that are of good moral character and he does not feel it
has to be this complicated. The fact remains that we are blocking
progress on the waterfront and there must be something done and the
City Council must see that their business is permitted to continue.
Councilman Bowen stated that he feels we can do it much more decisive
and faster than we are doing.at the moment.
MINUTES - City Council Meeting
February 8, 1966
PAGE SEVEN
Mr. McIntire stated that this Council and the City Attorney's.Office
are not blocking progress on the waterfront.
Councilman Bowen stated his complete disagreement.
Mr. McIntire referred to the question on the request for transfer
on the agenda. This matter was referred to our office yesterday,
February 7th and we took immediate steps to contact the attorneys
for the parties involved in order to facilitate a rapid conclusion
to this matter. We now have a document.16 pages long and we are
dealing with a County lease document of some 20 pages.
Councilman Bowen stated he feels it can be done in a more concise
fashion, even though the lease document of some 20 pages was not the
City's doing. He further stated that in bringing this question up
there was nothing personal in this.
Councilman Payne stated he feels that we should get this done as
soon as possible and that all deliberations should be taken as soon
as possible, but on the other hand, we just received this yesterday
and he felt this should be taken care of as soon as possible from
both parties standpoint to insure a continuation of business. This
has been discussed with the other parties attorney and everything
seems to be progressing properly and that the parties concerned were
notified and they were happy with the action of the Staff and Council.
Mr. McIntire replied that this is my understanding.
Councilman Payne stated that due to the fact that it was just re-
ceived yesterday, the legal department.should have a chance to look
over the documentation, but with expediency, of course. They haven't
had time to do so and if we could act on it tonight we would like to.
For the protection f6r all parties concerned and also the City, as
we are representing the people here, we can't jump in without knowing
the situation. In some cases we may have taken too long but we have
learned to take the right steps and we know what we are doing is
proper.
Mr. White stated we have now been involved in three assignments,
subleases.or rental situations which have come up, each separate and
distinct in itself. None' are really the same. We have talked at
some length of coming up with an assignment policy and our initial
conclusions are that the only standard policy would be to dictate
the terms of an assignment between individuals. We can't do this,
the individual has to negotiate his own transfer to suit his partic-
ular needs, therefore, our policy can't be a hard and fast policy.
It must be flexible enough to allow a person to assign, transfer or
rent. The problems with past assignments occurred prior to our
taking over the leasehold interest. The City Attorney and Attorney
for the parties involved are trying to resolve these problems for
the benefit of all parties concerned.
Councilman Bowen stated that he thinks there is so much confusion
in these leases that it is difficult for the people who are trying
to make a livelihood. We, as representatives of the people, should
expedite these matters, even if we need to change attorneys. This
doesn't mean firing McIntire and Kardell. There is too much paper
work and we are creating a roadblock.

Councilman Crass said I have not seen anything happening so fast
with so many complaints. I think in view of the fact that the
request was received only yesterday, we haven't hardly had time to
get to it, therefore, there is no need to get excited. He feels
there is a need at time for speed, but not on this particular item
on the Agenda.
Councilman Payne stated that, perhaps, in order to speed this'up,
if we could pass a resolution stating that if they comply and if
we find out that they can comply with all requirements necessary to
make this change, we can give an okay. He noted at this time that
there would be no meeting on February 22nd and the matter would be
put off into the next month.
Mr. McIntire stated that we have discussed this particular matter
as to whether the next meeting will be held on February 22nd with
the attorney's of the parties involved and the reaction was, speci-
fically, that he doesn't know whether this would make a whole lot
of difference. One of their problems is to the remodeling and re-
construction and there are no legal objections which would prevent
the City from granting a Building Permit and having the remodeling
done in the interim. Whether the Building Department finds any
objections, we cannot say. Legally there is nothing wrong with
granting a Building Permit and going ahead. That being the case,
my understanding was that four weeks is not too long and will not
prejudice these people because they can go ahead with their build-
ing plans. I wasn't aware that Council action would be taken tonight
as this wasn't my understanding of the wishes of the Council.
Councilman Payne stated we should obtain more information and then
take positive action.
Mr. Gianini stated that he feels this is the first time a Councilman
has taken a step in behalf of the Harbor and he agrees with every-
thing Councilman Bowen set forth. The matter is expedient and'as far
as the leases go we haven't any policy and none has been set forth
by the Council and they are again passing the buck to the City
Administrator and the City Attorney. We cannot go along with the
continual roadblocks. We can continue as we are and not have any
business. We have responsible people we are dealing with, Mr. Wilson
and Mr. Anderson. He then demanded that the Council set forth its
actions. It is not up to the City Administrator or City Attorney,
it is up to the Council to set forth these actions.
Mayor Surfluh entertained a motion to turn this over to the City
Administrator and the City Attorney to come out with a positive
answer.
Mayor Surfluh then asked Mrs. Anderson if the 2nd Tuesday in March
would conflict with their plans. Mrs. Anderson replied, no, as far
as architectural changes it is mainly decorating that will be done.
There will also be a new roof end all the improvements will be good
ones.

Motion: Councilman Payne moved that we direct this letter of
request and information to the City Attorney's. Office
for immediate action and if•necessary, Mayor Surfluh
call a special meeting to take care of this matter.
Councilman Bowen seconded. Unanimously approved.
C-2 Resolution No. 14-66. RESOLUTION CANCELLING CITY COUNCIL
M ETING.
Mr. White noted the regular meeting scheduled for the fourth Tuesday
of the month falls on Washington's Birthday, February 22nd.
Mayor Surfluh advised that by law, only one meeting per month is
required and asked that the resolution cancelling the meeting be
read for the information of those present.
Mr. White then read Resolution No. 14-66 in its entirety.
Motion: Councilman Bowen moved that Resolution No. 14-66 be approved.
Councilman Payne seconded. Roll call vote, unanimously
approved.
The regular meeting of the City Council scheduled for February 22,
1966, was cancelled.
C-3 Claim for refund for abatement charges.
Mr. White stated that in the process of abating weeds under the
Annual Weed Abatement Program about 2000 parcels have to be burned
and it is unfortunate that mistakes in billing were made even though
there were only four mistakes. Four individuals have made a claim
to the City that this abatement was not done by the City, however,
our records indicate these lots were abated by the City, but we could
very possibly be in error. There are three parcels at $4.00 each and
one parcel at $8.00. All of these parcels lie in the north Morro Bay
District with the exception of one which is in the Harbor front
district. It is therefore our recommendation that these individuals
be reimbursed.
Motion: Councilman Payne moved that the City pay these amounts
specified under the Weed Abatement Program. Mayor Surfluh
seconded. Unanimously approved.
C-4 ORDINANCE NO. 35. AN INTERIM ORDINANCE REGULATING THE
INSTALLATION, ERECTION OR CONSTRUCTION OF SIGNS WITHIN THE
CITY OF MORRO BAY.
Mr. White stated the Planning Commission has submitted an interim
sign ordinance and recommend its adoption. This was prompted by the
lack of a sign ordinance and the events leading to the installation
of a sign that was felt by some members of the community to be too
high and possibly too large. In order to forstall any further
construction of signs that may be detrimental to the general develop-
ment program projected for the City, our only recourse is to adopt
an interim ordinance.
Mr. McIntire stated that if this is adopted as an urgency ordinance
it will be required to be read in its entirety.
MINUTES - City Council Meeting
February 8, 1966

Mr. White then read the proposed Ordinance and Council discussed
the matter in depth. The purpose of this ordinance is to create
a degree of control not now existing, as it was felt by the Plan-
ning Commission, that with an interim ordinance, any deviation from
the on -site sign requirements as set forth.would have to be on a
conditional use permit basis. If an individual comes up with a
request that is reasonable, a conditional use permit may be granted
by the Planning Commission.
Mr. White stated that the Planning Commission has recommended this
ordinance be adopted and that it will serve in the interim period
until they can recommend a more comprehensive sign ordinance.
Mr. White then read Ordinance No. 35.
Mr. McIntire recommended that a Section 7 be added, Conditional Use
Permit Required: 'Notwithstanding the foregoing, on -site signs
which deviate from the foregoing requirements of this ordinance may
be erected, installed or constructed provided that a conditional
use permit be first obtained pursuant to the Morro Bay Zoning Ordi-
nance'. He then continued the reading of the ordinance from this
point, commenting on the law with regards to an interim ordinance
and clarifying it stating an interim ordinance is good for 90 days.
Then after a public hearing the City Council can extend this period
for an additional year as an interim ordinance, for a total time of
2 years and 90 days.
Motion: Mayor Surfluh moved Ordinance No. 35 be adopted. Council-
man Bowen seconded. Unanimously approved.
C-5 Request to removed tree on City Street.
Mr. White read a letter in the form of a petition, signed by twelve
residents, pertaining to a tree which is on a public right-of-way.
He then referred to several pictures of the tree stating that the
Council has previously adopted a resolution establishing a policy
on tree removal from City rights -of -way. The tree'in question has
been trimmed severely in the past because of overhead lines and is
very deformed. It is not an evergreen and sheds its leaves every
year. The Staff has viewed the tree and concurs with the findings
of the residents. It was noted that each Councilman has a copy of
Resolution No. 19-65, Establishing a Policy of Tree Removal from
City Rights -of -Ways. He then read an excerpt from Resolution No.
19-65 stating this request shows that all residents want the tree
removed.
Councilman Bowen asked if there was anyone in the audience who sign-
ed the petition in order that they might be informed as to the City's
tree removal policy. No interested person was present.
Councilman Payne stated the tree is scrubby and since we seem to be
coming up against problems of tree removal he would like to see a
policy worked out by the City Staff and City Council that whenever
a tree is removed it be replaced.
Motion: Councilman Payne moved that this tree in this area be re-
moved by the surrounding property owners in conformance with
the policy previously adopted.
MINUTES - City Council Meeting
February 8, 1966
PAGE ELEVEN
Councilman Bowen questioned concerning the removal of the roots,
stating he doesn't feel the City should be liable for paying for
the removal of the tree but should oversee that it is done correctly.
Mr. White advised this will be supervised by the Department of Public
Works.
Councilman Bowen seconded. Unanimously approved.
Mayor Surfluh then asked that the petitioners be informed of the
City's requirements.
C-6 Discussion on San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water
Conservation Districts.
Mr. White read letter, dated February 8, 1966, from the San Luis
Obispo County Flood Control $ Water Conservation District in its
entirety, noting each member of the Council has received a draft
of the projected needs for supplemental water from 1966 to 1986.
Data was obtained from the Department of Public Works and Water Depart-
ment and is based on an estimated population forecast and estimated
increase of bight peir_ent per year to supplement water requirements.
This is based on growth within the area encompassed in the current
city limits of Morro Bay. Greater Morro Bay water basin now has a
total capacity of 3000 acre feet per year; the City uses 1000 acre
feet; agriculture 1750 acre feet and the golf course currently uses
540 acre feet, a total withdrawal of 3290 acre feet per year, there-
fore, we are overdrawing the basin at the present time. The City is
approaching this matter as rapidly as possible and will make every
effort to come up with the most economical and feasible source of
water. It is suggested we submit this particular document of pro-
jected demands for supplemental water.to the County Hydraulic Engineer's
Office.
Mayor Surfluh asked if Mr. Born requested projections up to 1986.
Mr. White replied the letter stated a 20 year period. We realize
that the ultimate development of local water within the Greater Zone
2 Area can be adequate for our needs as we see them now. We fully
anticipate, within the next 20 year period, development of seawater
conversion and this is further insurance that we will be able to
maintain a local growth pattern. The San Luis Obispo area is receiv-
ing a great deal of attention throughout the State of California as
a possible area of development within the next ten to twenty years.
Mayor Surfluh then entertained a motion to approve the estimate for
supplemental water.
Motion: Councilman Bowen moved the City Council approve the estimate
for supplemental.water and forward the same to the County
Hydraulic Engineer. Councilman Payne seconded. Unanimously
approved.

Mrs. Annie K. Jones addressed the Council regarding a tree in the
parkway in front of her residence at 360 Laguna Street, stating the
roots were cut when the street was graded and a driveway was install-
ed. The tree is approximately seventy feet high and has three forks
twenty inches in diameter. The tree is splitting in the fork and she
would like to have something done before someone is� injured. One

limb has fallen and hit her garage and she would like help in taking
care of the matter. Mrs. Jones stated she is willing to pay for
having the tree replaced if it is found this tree has to be removed,
as it is a menace.
Mr. Spellacy stated the tree was checked by a tree surgeon today and
he will have a recommendation tomorrow as to the cost and what will
be necessary in order to save the tree, if it is possible to do so.
Mr. White stated this falls under the jurisdiction of Resolution No.
19-65 on the tree removal policy and everyone in the neighborhood
would have to concur if the tree were to be removed and the property
owners would have to stand the cost of removing and replacing the
tree.
Councilman Payne then gave Mrs. Jones his copy of Resolution No.
19-65. Mr. White stated she can proceed along these lines and addi-
tional information will be forwarded to her.
Mr. Gianini stated the Morro Bay Harbor Development Association has
written two letters to the City Council requesting an answer and no
answer has been received. Mr. White advised that both letters were
read in open Council meetings and Mr. Gianini was absent and by said
readings and subsequent discussion no need for an answer was indicated.
Councilman Payne stated an answer should be given regarding the Morro
Bay Harbor Development Association letters. Mayor Surfluh replied we
will have to go back in the minutes to determine when the letters were
read, but he would check this personally. 'Mr. Gianini stated one
letter did determine future acts on our part and required a Council
decision and an answer should be forthcoming from the Council. Mayor
Surfluh replied he would review this matter tomorrow.

To request City's abandonment of certain rights created for benefit

Mr. White stated this is pursuant to the Streets & Highways Code,
and concerns certain lots between Morro and Main Streets where an
easement was retained for the eventual establishment of an alleyway
thirty feet in width. Mr.Whi-te stated he does not have too much back-
up data and further information has been requested, therefore, he
would like to refer this matter to the City Attorney for recommenda-
tion to the City Council as to how to proceed in this matter. Mr.
McIntire asked, shouldn't this go to the Planning Commission? Mr.
White replied, yes, but first to the City Attorney then to the Plan-
ning Commission. A title report is needed as well as certain informa-
tion in order to make an evaluation. The property will have to be
viewed in order to ascertain if there is an easement for utilities
other than for street purposes, as possible utilities do exist on
this particular portion such as telephone, gas and electricity and
the City cannot abandon anything that is being utilized by a public
utility. The matter was then referred to the City Attorney then
to the Planning Commission for their action.

Mayor Surfluh entertained a motion that the reading of the minutes

A-1 Hearing on Street Names and Numbers - continued from December
28th Meeting.
Mayor Surfluh notified those present that the Council will first
discuss the street name program and after said discussion they will
open the hearing for comments, both pro.and con, from the audience. He
further explained that street numbers running North and South will
originate at the State Park, while street numbers running West to
East will originate at the waterfront. This will eliminate undue con-
fusion for visitors and townspeople as many street numbers presently
do not coincide with the streets indicated. The Planning Commission
has recommended the use of Spanish names, however, due to the great
number of people protesting the use of names of Spanish origin the
Council will consider the use of other than Spanish names as they seem
to be more acceptable to the general public, being easier to spell and
pronounce. He also stated there should be as few changes made as
possible. Mayor Surfluh stated further that although there will be
many changes made that costs to the individual should be nominal for
those who will be required to change signs, numbers, letterheads, etc.
The City Council then discussed the proposed street naming program in
depth.
Mayor Surfluh then opened the meeting for discussion and proponents
spoke both for and against the proposed plan. The question arose as
to how to find the streets once they are changed and Mayor Surfluh
advised there will be maps and the Post Office will continue to deliver
mail to both the old and new address for three years. It is expected
that within a year the complete program will be completed and that the
City will enter into a comprehensive street signing program as soon as
the plan is adopted.

Mr. White presented two signs, one blue and white, the other green
and white, stating that the signs will be fabricated by the City,
the material being purchased on the open bid procedure. The signs
will be upper and lower case and the block numbers will be designa-
ted. There are approximately 485 intersections at which signs are
to be installed at the approximate cost of $10.00 to $15.00 per
intersection.
Mayor Surfluh then declared the hearing closed. The list of street
hames decided upon with several alternates given will be referred
back to the Planning Commission.
Mr. White then read Resolution No. 7-66, RESOLUTION PROPOS-
ING CHANGES TO STREET NAME AND NUMBER PLAN AND REFERRING
SUCH CHANGES TO PLANNING COMMISSION, in its entirety.
Mr. White then asked Mr. McIntire to clarify the reasons for this
resolution and the procedure required to be followed.
Mr. McIntire commented on Government Code Section 55504, relating
to a street name and numbering system which is called a precise plan
and the Government Code states that if a precise plan is to be adopt-
ed it goes to the City Council for a public hearing. After a hearing
has been held and if the City Council then wishes to change the plan
as proposed by the Planning Commission it must refer the recommended
changes back to the Planning Commission for a review, report and
further recommendations. If the Planning Commission fails to refer
the plan back to the Council within forty days this would constitute
approval and the Council could then adopt the plan.
Motion: Councilman Bowen moved that Resolution No. 7-66 be approved.
Councilman Payne seconded. Roll call vote, unanimously
approved.
A-2 Financial Report.
Mr. White presented the Monthly Expenditure Report for January 1966.
Motion: Councilman Zinn moved that the Monthly Expenditure Report

2011 through 2113 be approved. Councilman Payne seconded.
Unanimously approved.
A-3 Litigation Report.
Mr. White asked Mr. McIntire if he wished to report on litigation
pending at this time.
Mr. McIntire stated that the City Attorney's Office has taken the
first deposition in the Thomas action, unfortunately they were not
the depositions of the plaintiffs and the adversaries, but deposi-
tions of Mr. Joe Warnagieris, County Tax Assessor, and Mr. Harold
G. K. Callies of the Assessor's Office. This was generated by the
necessity to obtain certain facts which are required to show motion
to strike, which we have filed and which is now pending before the
Court. It is necessary to determine whether the property lying

west of Tideland Survey No. 10 has been assessed to any private
person,and it is assumed it has never been assessed to any private
person, but we don't know this for a fact. On December 23rd, we
conferred with Mr. Warnagieris and Mr. Callies, in the Assessor's
Office, and asked the Assessor to verify whether this property had
ever been assessed to any person and to let us know the result,
following which we would prepare an affidavit stating whatever the
facts were that were found. This affidavit would then be filed with
the Court and used with the Motion to Strike. The Assessor did
check their records and those of the Tax Collector, specifically the
assessment roll which is kept in the Tax Collector's Office. We
were contacted and we prepared the affidavit and their statement,
which consists of 1� legal pages, which stated, in effect, that the
property has never been assessed since 1952. Before 1952, according
to the Assessor, it appears their records were more complex and not
easy to search and they adopted a new procedure in 1952 which makes
searching much simplier. We reviewed the affidavit with Mr. Callies
of the Assessor's Office and it was then put into final form. When
it was presented to the Assessor, after the Assessor had consulted
with the District Attorney, he declined to sign the affidavit, not
that it was erroneous or not factual, but for reasons of policy,
specifically that he did not wish to get involved in litigation.
This overlooks the fact that the County has been involved in this
particular lawsuit for about three and one-half years. As a result
of the depositions of Mr. Warnagieris and Mr. Callies, we did obtain
the information by sworn testimony so that it can be used in our
Motion to Strike, however, it was not freely given. It took four
hours to extract the information contained in the 1g page affidavit.
It is significant that Mr. Murphy, Attorney for the Plaintiffs, was
present at the taking of the deposition. Despite the rumors that
plaintiffs were willing, and perhaps eager, to discuss a proposal
to meet with us and go over avenuesof settlement we did not receive
the slightest indication from Mr. Murphy that he was at all interest-
ed. Upon his arrival we began the depositions and immediately on
its close, he left. There was no opportunity for discussion as to
any possible settlement conference, degree of settlement, or a
suggested discussion. For this meeting,this concludes our report.

Mayor Surfluh advised this matter was referred to the City Attorney
regarding easement restrictions for the proposed abandonment of
portions of Norwich Avenue and Spencer Drive.
Mr. White stated the Council would now have to pass a resolution
amending Resolution No. 147-65, Resolution of Intention to Abandon
Certain City Streets and Setting Date for Hearing, passed November
23, 1965, in order that an additional paragraph concerning a perma-
nent easement might be added. He then noted the additional paragraph,
stating this amendment will be required before any further action can
be taken on the proposed abandonment.

B-2 ORDINANCE NO. 41. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MORRO BAY
MUNICIPAL OD 0 PROVIDE FOR SALARIES OF CITY COUNCIL,
CITY CLERK AND CITY TREASURER. (Second reading.)
Councilman Zinn stated that before this resolution is adopted, he
would like to note that the Mayor generally receives more than do the
Councilmen, due to extra trips, etc.
Mayor Surfluh said the Council would either have to vote for the full
$150.00 or the matter would have to go to the polls for vote as this
amount is specified in a bill signed by Governor Brown and applies
to General Law Cities.
Mr. McIntire advised that the Mayors salary must be the same as the
other Councilmen.
Mr. Gianini, representing the Taxpayer's Association, addressed the
Council, noting salaries of City Councilmen in other Cities and
stating that he had been approached by citizens who are not in favor
of the proposed salary. The matter was then discussed in depth by
members of the Council.
Mayor Surfluh commented on the fact that this is a General Law City
and that Charter Cities have a different procedure, therefore, this
Council will either have to adopt the proposed salary by ordinance,
go to vote, or just do nothing. Compensation of $150.00 a month is
quite a lot less than what the Councilmen have worked for in the
past as everyone now works approximately five days a week, even
though they are not full days, however, several hours a day are
devoted to City business. It is true that it takes a lot of dedica-
tion, as such, but this is not enough. This Council has worked
almost two years with personal monetary loss and both bodies of the
State Legislature, including the Governor, were in favor of this bill
as most of our Legislators have been City Councilmen at one time or
another and know just what the job requires.
Councilman Crass said if a Councilman kept'an expense account, it
would amount to much more than the $150.00. Also there are some who
will object, but that he had not talked to anyone who was not in

favor of the proposal and he feels that future Councilmen should
not have to work for nothing as this first Council has.
It was the general feeling expressed by the Council that the public,
as a whole, has no objections to this proposed compensation.
Councilman Zinn stated that most of those he had discussed this
matter with felt this compensation is justifiable.
Motion: Councilman Crass then moved that the second reading of
Ordinance No. 41 be by title only. Councilman Zinn
seconded.
Councilman Zinn asked Mr. McIntire if the matter goes to the polls
and is adopted by ballot., will it be applicable to the new Council
when they are elected on April 12, or will it be lost for two years.
Mr. McIntire replied he would have an opinion at the next Council
meeting.
Mr. White informed the Council that no other legislative body, other
than City Councils are required to go to the people to ask them
'what am I worth to serve you', not even the County, State or Federal
Governments.
Mr. Gianini stated he would like to see a salary adopted similar to
that of Paso Robles. He is not sorry to see this compensation paid,
but feels it would be in better taste to have it approved by ballot.
There is no argument as to the money, just that the people should
have a voice as they are paying the bills.
Councilman Bowen stated that this compensation will attract people
to run for public office who would not otherwise do so. There are
many retired people in the City, on a small income, who have terrific
backgrounds, good business experience and are ideal.timber for City
Council, but because of their retirement, financially they can't
afford to do it. He therefore feels $150.00 will attract more people
to take an interest in City Government.
Mayor Surfluh noted there was a motion and second before the Council
to read Ordinance No. 41 by title only.
Mr. McIntire pointed out this is a motion of the second reading by
title only which requires unanimous approval.
Roll call vote, unanimously approved.
Mr. White then read Ordinance No. 41 by title only, noting
this ordinance has been read once in full.
Motion: Councilman Crass moved that Ordinance No. 41 be adopted.

Mayor Surfluh referred this matter to the City Attorney
Mr. McIntire stated that as the Council directed, their office wrote
a short letter to Mr. Rose on January 19, asking him for particular
items of information regarding his desire to rent a portion of his
lease and no answer ha's been received. We did receive a telephone
inquiry from Mrs. Sites, wife of the proposed renter. Based on what
we learned from the telephone conversation it appears there was some
misunderstanding of the relationship to be established between the
tenant and Mr. Rose. For example, they had been led to believe that
the property had been approved by the Health Department. From what
we gather from investigating the facts, it appears the building will
require some changes and modifications prior to approval by the Health
Department and it would be approved from the health standpoint only
when certain renovations are made, which may be found to be costly.
The problem of having the tenant spend a sum of money for renovation
and improvements knowing that he can be thrown out in thirty days,
in our opinion, indicates the necessity of the City having this whole
matter set forth in writing. Mrs. Sites was given this information.
A telephone conversation was held on January 20th and since then we
have heard nothing. We are awaiting response so that we can look
into it and we assume the matter will be properly documented.
Mayor Surfluh then asked if there was anything anyone else wished to
add.
Judge Schenk stated he had been contacted by Mr. Sites regarding
assuming property subleases or leases on the waterfront. This question
also relates to the Engvall-Tyler sublease which was discussed with
Mr. McIntire about a month ago. Mr. Sites contacted him regarding the
sublease, but he is not sure as to where Mr. Rose stands. Judge
Schenk therefore feels the Council, as a body, needs to formulate a
policy relating to subleases or transfers, as they are going to have to
say that, as a Council, if there is any legal action regarding the
approval of subleases it should be taken up with the City Attorney.
This came up in the Engvall-Tyler matter, and the result of that
conference is that neither party knows where they are going, and there
will possibly be a complete breakdown of the transfer of Engvall to
Tyler because of the problem concerning the existing leases and whether
the lease presently in effect is going to be respected. When you ask
for approval of a sublease, as in Mr. Rose's case, you authorize
approval subject to certain inherent facts, but they do not contemplate
renegotiating the lease entirely. This Rose -Sites matter is what made
the Health Department require that during construction there be some
obligation of the Public Works Department to approve zoning. The
Council should adopt a policy in conformance with the laws. In Mr.
Site's case, he wishes to establish an abalone processing plant and
the Health Department will require increased drains, sealing walls,
etc., however, these specifications are basically minor structural
changes. The problem is, are we going to approve existing leases,
essentially in their present form, or say these leases are not satis-
factory so that every time a request of this nature is made the lease
has to be renegotiated. This is quite a problem. Judge Schenk then
pointed out that a policy should be adopted for use in the future,_

noting that property affected by lawsuits need an interim policy, a
status quo policy, until the problem is settled. The City has to
get into this problem within the next two or three months.
Councilman Bowen stated that in talking to Mr. Rose he was very
definite that it was a month -to -month rental basis, not a lease.
Judge Schenk replied that it is a short tenancy, approved for this
type of use of the premises. If this use is not objectionable to
the City Council the parties could work out an agreement that would
be approved by the City Council.
Mr. McIntire stated the situation that exists now with Mr. Rose's
lease, we say this about the processing plant, it is consistent with
the terms of the trust to which the City holds title. There is no
legal objection from that standpoint. The sublease, according to
Mr. Rose, is a lease which can be granted subject to the approval
of the City Council. The question the City Council has before it
is the letter from Mr. Rose to the City a proposed rental on a month -
to -month basis. He stated he had no idea what the relationship was
between the parties and this was a unilateral request from Mr. Rose.
He stated he had advised the Council, and will again so advise, that
you cannot approve a sublease on such information as this. Many
facets must be worked out. He doesn't know the relationship between,
the leasees and Mr. Sites, or what their understanding was or is,
but they apparently did not come to a complete understanding on many
issues, as per our telephone conversation. He then stated that
Judge Schenk has a good point, do we go to the expense of hiring an
attorney, drafting an agreement primary to Council approval and
then take a chance that it will be approved and used, while on the
other hand, Council cannot approve until it is generally known what
the terms and conditions are. There is a substantial difference
between the Rose and Engvall-Tyler matter. That might complicate
the sellers lease. Mr. Engvall is selling his improvements to another
party for a substantial sum and requesting an assignment of the lease.
Assignment of purchase is different than a sublease. They legally
and factually differ. Regarding Mr. Rose's sublease, he pays all the
bills, but someone else has an interest in the property. In order to
assure the City that by approving this sublease we are not, in fact,
giving away some interest that the City has in the property. The
fact that it is not an assignment or separate rights to Mr..Sites
will require documentation. You can call it a document and its legal
effect is something else, but we have to know the relationship between
the parties. Council must know this before they say they will approve
these terms and conditions. There may be more terms and conditions
that Council will want to interpose, but in a separate document which
would bind both parties to the City, and until this is looked into
and gone over in detail, we can't tell what the effect that particular
document has. At the moment the request that we have made by letter;
in outline form, relates to what has transpired between the parties
so that the Council can act on it.
Councilman Zinn asked if we can grant approval subject to certain
conditions. Mr. McIntire replied the City Council could establish
a policy that we will permit changes in the leasehold interest, sub-
leases, assignment or the terms and conditions of leases and then

work out some sort of document which is standard. The City Council
has an interest in arrangements between Mr. Rose and Mr. Sites only
from the standpoint that it must protect the City.
Mayor Surfluh asked if this could be expedited in some manner.
Judge Schenk stated Mr. Sites came in to see him but not in sufficient
time to prepare the sublease, however, if we can get a tentative
approval, it will possibly help the situation. He stated he would
call Mr. Rose.
Mr. McIntire said that in drafting the matter, once Judge Schenk gets
the ideas of both parties, he would golover the matter with him.
Councilman Crass stated that we should have a special meeting or
committee study to review the whole status along the waterfront
involving the trust property and come up with a policy relative to
subleases and assignment of leases that would more likely cover all
types of transfers of leases on the waterfront. The very fact that
we have this litigation has complicated the matter, and as far as
we are concerned we are now the trustees of the property and until
it is shown otherwise we should take every necessary action on deter-
mining a policy relative to subleases and the assignment of leases
or any leasing on the waterfront.
If each and every assignment of a sublease requires this amount of
time, it is going to discourage development on the waterfront as well
as discourage people from moving in and going into business and we
will continue to have a very poor situation.
Mayor Surfluh stated that very definite guide lines are needed.
Mr. McIntire stated that his office had some thoughts on the lease
policy matters such as Mr. Rose and the Tyler-Engvall matter and
others. The existing leases contain inequities to the lessees in
the hold harmless clause, in that the rent every five years can be
raised to six percent of a figure which is to be determined by some
unknown official. There are no definite guide lines so that the
rental amount is determined by one man drawing the conclusion that
it sort of depends on what you want to get out of the property.
This is not fair to the lessees. Inequities to the City are that the
rents may be far too low considering the actual value of the property.
Property is parcelled out in extremely small portions which does not
lend to good development and there are other problems pro and con.
He stated further that the City could set the stage for some sort of
mutual course of action between the City and the lessees that may be
fair.and equitable to all concerned. In the meantime, the legality
of certain clauses of existing leases and also what the City is and
is not going to do should be determined. Therefore, a Committee is
in order. Some study will have to be done by members of the Council
who serve on the Committee and a full report, once the facts are
known, discussed with the City Council. Certainly lessees ought to
be given an opportunity to be heard on this matter as to what their
objections are and have been.

Mr. White said this was done in the lease to Mr. Rose and Mr. Chuba.
Mr. Rose was assured this would be expedited but that certain facts
would have to be presented to the Council before a determination
could be made. We have indicated that everything possible will be
done to bring this matter to a successful conclusion. We have had
contact with,him and we need certain information, and without it,
we cannot proceed further.
Judge Schenk stated he felt he could have this information before
February 8. Mr. McIntire stated he would work with Judge Schenk on
this matter. Judge Schenk then stated he would call the City Attorney
tomorrow after checking with Mr. Rose and Mr. Sites.
Mr. Gianini spoke in behalf of the Harbor Protective Association,
asking that the Council meet with these people and listen to their
lease problems.
Mr. White stated Mr. Glen Johnson, representing this group, had
contacted him two weeks ago and was advised as to what the City has
projected and that we intend to sit down with the leaseholders, the
City Attorney and City Councilmen and discuss the leases. Mr.
Johnson felt quite pleased that the City is taking this course of
action and said that at any time we chose his group would be willing
to meet with us.
Mayor Surfluh asked if it is the Councils wish he will appoint a
committee of two to work on the policy to establish guide lines to
formulate a means of expediting these matters in the future.
Motion: Councilman Crass moved that Mayor Surfluh appoint a committee
to work with the City Staff in formulating ways and means of
expediting leases on the waterfront. Councilman Zinn
seconded. Unanimously approved.
B-4 Resolution Approving Agreement for Planning Services.
Mr. White noted a letter dated January 17, 1966, from the County Clerk's
Office regarding a proposed Agreement for Planning Services to the;:City
by the County Planning Department, stating this agreement is based on
a proposal submitted by Mr. Rogoway and which was adopted some months
ago. He then discussed Items 1 through 4.
Mr. White then reviewed the proposed Agreement.
Mr. McIntire advised there are some items which may present a problem,
therefore, at this time, he is not in a position to approve or dis-
approve.
Mr. White then recommended this item be deferred until the next regular
Council Meeting. The matter was deferred until February 8, 1966.
Mr. White stated the next item was added as it was inadvertently

Motion: Councilman Crass moved that Resolution No. 12-66 be approved.
Councilman Zinn seconded. Roll call vote, unanimously

Mr. White noted the following item was added to the Agenda.
C-3 Discussion concerning the granting of a variance to H. D.
Waldron for a coin -operated car wash in a C-1 Zone.
Mr. White stated this is a request for a variance to allow a coin -
operated car wash in a C-1 Zone, on Lots 44, 4S and 46, Block 1, Morro
Heights, City of Morro Bay. He then asked Mr. Rogoway to present this
matter to the Council.
Mr. Rogoway stated the proposed car wash4wil.l be located directly
across from the Police Station and that an identical request was made
last year, but was denied at that time. Application has again been
made and this time the Planning Commission has recommended approval,
subject to certain conditions. He then presented the proposed plan
which showed the building in the middle of the property with two
openings, 'in' and 'out' only, noting that traffic is such that in
crossing over the double line on 5th Street, to make a left hand turn,
a traffic hazard is created. However, this is not a condition of
approval. Access is through two spaces and there is a holding area,
for waiting and drying, with an equipment room inside of the building.
The Commission discussed ingress and egress and it was agreed that
the openings be flexible subject to approval of the Department of
Public Works. There is also a large tree which will have to be removed.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the entire
property be paved and a 4 x 4 wooden barrier or prefab concrete curbing
be installed to prevent cars from backing onto the sidewalk. There is
an existing fence to the rear of the property.
Councilman Zinn asked if there are any requirements for grading. Mr.
Rogoway replied yes, this is up to the Building Official at the time
he issues the Building Permit. Drainage will be away from the adjoin-
ing property.
Mayor Surfluh asked if the sewer connection is the proper way of dis-
posing of run-off water. Mr. Rogoway said this type of situation can
require a drain inside of the car wash building with a grease trap
and that it would be advisable to require this as it is not necessary
to drain the entire property. Mr. White stated the drainage will be
sloped in the center and drainage for the lot will go into the gutter,
but drainage from the car washing will go into the sewer.
Councilman Payne asked about the sidewalks and was advised this is
required by ordinance. He then noted the tree in the sidewalk area.
Mr. Rogoway suggested this be referred to the Department of Public
Works for their recommendations. Mr. White stated there are two
trees, one on private property and one on the City right -of way, in
the sidewalk area which belongs to the City.
Councilman Zinn remarked that the lot appears to be cramped and that
automobiles will be in close proximity, is the lot suited for this
type of use?
MINUTES- City Council Meeting
January 25, 1966
PAGE TWELVE
Mr. Rogoway replied that the Planning Commission recommended the
driveway be wide enough to negotiate into these two areas and that
they felt this use was proper for the lot.
Councilman Payne noted the traffic flow, asking if there were any
objections. Mr. Rogoway said as long as the traffic enters at one
point and leaves through the other, there would be no objection,
however, there would be problems if there are left hand turns as
this would create a hazardous traffic condition due to site distances,
speed of traffic, etc.
Councilman Payne then solicited the Planning Director's opinion.
Mr. Rogoway stated he gave no recommendation originally, and no
recommendation at the last Planning Commission Meeting. He there-
fore would continue with his original position by not making any
recommendation at this time.
Councilman Payne stated he is personally against this operation be-
cause of the traffic flow and the welfare of the City. Mr. Rogoway
again noted the two entrances, stating this will help to make a
profitable business and he does not see how left hand turns can be
prevented.
Councilman Zinn noted that when the car wash is full, cars may pro-
trude into traffic lanes thus causing an accident. Mr. Rogoway
again stated this is a very small parcel of land and it is difficult
to determine what usable development can be placed on it without ask-
ing for some deviation in the Code. The owner is very limited as to
what he can do with the property.
Mr. McIntire stated the zoning that exists in the area is now C-1
and the request is for a variance. A car wash is not provided for
anywhere in the Ordinance. They are listed as a C-2 use but this is
normally thought of as the same type of car wash we have known in
the past, a mechanical type of operation. A coin operated car wash
is a new concept in their use. The Planning Commission can render
a decision that this use is similar in performance to other uses in
this a C-1 district and no variance would be required.
Councilman Zinn asked the results of the Planning Commission•vote
and was advised it was unanimous and there were four Commissioners
present.
Mr. McIntire. said the Government Code specifically provides when you
can grant a variance. This is a factual determination the Council
has to make. Specifically, you can grant a variance only when, be-
cause of conditions applicable to the property, denial of the zoning
deprives the property owner of privileges which are enjoyed by other
property owners in the same vicinity. If you don't grant the variance,
is the man being deprived of something the other man in the same
category has? Is it taking something away; not being benefited by it?
Councilman Payne stated he felt this matter should be refused because
of the hazardous conditions on Sth Street, and that he would personally
like it reviewed again by the Planning Commission.
MINUTES - City Council Meeting
January 25, 1966
PAGE THIRTEEN
Mr. McIntire questioned as to whether a.variance is necessary or
not, stating that what is being asked for is a determination and
the way to handle this would be to have the Planning Commission,
under the zoning ordinance determine whether this particular car
wash is the type of car wash to be allowed in an area zoned C-1.
Gas stations are C-1 use; a car wash is C-2 use. A gas station does
not need a variance. The Council can refer this to the'Planning
Commission for a determination pursuant to the City Ordinance as to
the precise zone classification for this particular type of use.
Mr. McIntire then recommended that the Planning Commission determine
the zone and classification.
Motion: Councilman Payne moved that this request for a variance be
referred back to the Planning Commission for determination
as to whether the allowable use will be C-1 or C-2.
Councilman Bowen seconded. Roll call vote:
AYES: Councilmen Bowen, Payne, Zinn and Mayor Surfluh
NOES: Councilman Crass
Mr. White commented on the trees on'and adjacent to the aforemention-
ed property and recommended the City seek expert advice from a valid
tree surgeon as to whether the trees are dangerous and should be re-
moved or reshaped. This will have some bearing on the action of the
Council in regards to said trees.
The matter was then referred back to the Planning Commission for
determination of the Zoning Classification.
C-4 Discussion on road widening construction.on Frontage .between
Hill Street and Avalon Avenue, SS Project No. 22.
Mr. Taylor stated this is a culvert located near the end of Avalon
Street, running under the Frontage Road and Freeway to the High
School Property and it is often used by school children as an under-
pass. The City proposes to close off one end and fill the other
and extend the drainage pipe to ahother drainage structure leading
into it. It will be necessary to widen the Street to the curb line
and extend the pavement. Plans have been presented to the Division
of Highways and approval has been received. Authorization is now
needed from the Council to advertise this project for bid. The work
will be performed by the City using gas tax money at an approximate
cost of $6200, of which $5000 will be from gas fax funds and $1200
from the General Fund. This project is necessary to prevent the
hazard to children falling into this hole and using the four foot
culvert as an underpass to the High School.
Mr. White stated the City Staff concurs in this recommendation as it
will eliminate a dangerous situation and solve the drainage problem,
as well as prevent children from using the culvert as an underpass.
Motion: Councilman Zinn moved that the plans and specifications for
this drainage project be approved and that this project be
advertised for bid. Councilman Payne seconded. Unanimously
approved.

Mr. McIntire stated a considerable amount of work has been done
within the last two weeks relating to the Thomas, et al., vs County,
et al., law suit, some of which he is not in a position to comment
on tonight. He did however, point out that on January 6, a 'Demand
for Undertaking' was filed on each of the Plaintiffs. This demand
is in accordance with Section 947 of the Government Code which pro-
vides that any public agency who is sued can at any time, during the
law suit, file a demand against the Plaintiff thus requiring the
Plaintiff to put up a substantial sum, in this case between $100 and
$200 each, as an advance on costs which may be.awarded against that
party. If this money is not deposited with the Courts by each
Plaintiff within twenty days, in this case by January 25th, the case
MINUTES - City Council Meeting

against the Plaintiff must be dismissed by the Court. This means
the Plaintiffs who are serious in this case must now pay into Court
the specified sum or obtain a bond with a corporate bonding company
who will put up the money. The ones who fail to do this will be
dismissed from the law suit. This demand for undertaking, to a non -
lawyer, is merely a legal 'put-up or shut -up'. For the first time
the Plaintiffs will be required to anti -up to indicate their serious-
ness in this action. This is also an excellent opportunity for
those Plaintiffs who wish to gracefully withdraw.
Councilman Zinn asked if any other Plaintiff could provide the bond
or money for a Plaintiff who does wish to continue with the suit,
assuming one party lets the period of time elapse and another
Plaintiff is aware of what is happening, can he go to the Court
with $100 or $200 without that particular Plaintiff's consent? Can
one Plaintiff provide all the money for all Plaintiffs in the action
or any two Plaintiffs for the rest? Mr. McIntire replied that just
how the Plaintiff gets the money is no concern of the Court.
Mr. McIntire stated that a compromise judgment would result in the
Plaintiff being liable for all costs incurred by the City in the
event they fail to obtain a judgment more favorable to said Plaintiffs.
They must file to show the City they are prepared to pay whatever
costs are assumed against them.
No report given at this time on other court actions in which the
City is a party, however, a report will be given at the next meet-
ing.
Councilman Zinn asked if there was a time limit on interrogatories
filed.
Mr. McIntire stated that there is a time limit and they have receiv-
ed the County's objections. The Plaintiffs have filed a motion to
extend their time to answer from the normal fifteen days until March
1, 1966.
A-3 Discussion on San Luis Obispo County Water Resources Advisory
Committee Meeting of December 7, 1965.
Mayor Surfluh suggested that if the Council was in agreement, it
might be well, at this time, to read the minutes of the San Luis
Obispo County Water Resources Advisory Committee Meeting of December
7, 1965.
Mr. White then read Item 3, and a discussion was held.
Mayor Surfluh advised a meeting will be held on January 18th to
consider public hearings on two items, both relating to water delop-
ment. The hearing will be to determine if the County will extend the
area of use for Naciemento water, which they undoubtedly will start
paying for sometime during the last of 1966 or early 1967, and which
will entitle the County to approximately 2000 acres the first year.
The County at that time will agree to pay for the water. The pre-
sent agreement for Naciemento water between San Luis Obispo and
Monterey Counties just includes the use within Zone 2, which is Paso
Robles and Atascadero area. At a previous meeting it was felt by
the Advisory Committee that recommendations should be made to the
County Board of Supervisors that the area of use be expanded to cover

the whole County of San Luis Obispo, and second, that the County
start paying for the water. He said if we don't start paying, we
will .lose it, and even though we do not have a storage area, -for
the welfare of the community and the whole county, payment should
start now and the addition of distribution facilities made later.
This should be of great concern to all within the County and those
interested should attend the meeting on January 18th, at 10:00
A.M. This request will be forwarded from the San Luis Obispo County
Board of Supervisors to the Monterey County Board of Supervisors
and their agent will then request the State Agency for the expan-
sion. The second item will be to extend the use of Jack and Santa
Rita Creeks use to include the City of Morro Bay, and this, being
within the County, will also require a public hearing. Mayor
Surfluh stated there may be some objections so proponents will be
needed to speak in favor of both of these proposals. It is in the
best interests of the County that both hearings be attended by all
concerned and in the event there is any opposition, every effort
should be made to overcome said opposition.

OF SAID COUNTY TO RENDER SPECIFIED SERVICES TO THE CITY OF
MORRO BAY, RELATING TO THE CONDUCT OF A GENERAL MUNICIPAL
ELECTION TO BE HELD IN SAID.CITY. ON APRIL.12, 1966.
Mr. White stated this Resolution requests the Board of Supervisors
to permit the County Clerk to perform certain functions for the
General Municipal Election on April 12, 1966.
Mr. White read Resolution No. 2-66 in its entirety.
Motion: Councilman Zinn moved that Resolution No. 2-66 be approved.
Councilman Payne seconded. Roll call vote, unanimously
approved.
Mr. White read a letter, dated January 10, 1966, from Martin 6,
Chapman Co., Ltd., Election Suppliers, regarding the filing of
nomination papers. The first day voters may sign and candidates
may file nomination papers is January 27th and the last day and hour
for filing is 12:00 o'clock noon, February 17th. He then noted that
a Candidates Statement of Qualifications Form shall be issued to
each candidate at the time of issuing his nomination papers, however,
filing of this form by the candidate is not mandatory but permissive.
It was suggested that, as is done in other cities, each candidate be
required to pay a deposit for the Statement of Qualifications at the
time of filing, however, this is an indeterminate amount as it is
not known which candidates will file. Councilman Zinn suggested
that we require a filing fee, and Mr. White recommended that this
policy be adopted stating that a refund can be made if the full
amount is not used.
Minute Order called for stating that candidates post a deposit at
the time of filing.
Mayor Surfluh stated that if this is not acted upon now it will have
to be taken care of at the next meeting. Mr. White requested that
this be taken care of at this time and suggested that $20.00 might
be equitable, inasmuch as we have no past experience due to the
fact that it is a new requirement of the elections code. The fee
will depend on how many choose to file the statement of qualifica-
tions. If fees are higher candidates will be billed for the addi-
tional costs, or if they are less, a refund made.
Motion: Councilman Payne moved that a $20.00 filing fee be required
to cover possible costs of billing for the election.
Councilman Zinn seconded. Unanimously approved.
Councilman Payne then stated it is understood the fee will be re-
turned if it is not used. Mr. White replied, yes, if a Statement
of Qualifications is not filed, no fee will be required.

Councilman Zinn then requested clarification as to the Statement of
Qualification that a candidate is eligible to file when he has the
required ten signatures. Mr. White stated a candidate must file a
completed petition and the $20.00 is charged only if he wishes to
file the Statement of Qualifications. The statement can only be
accepted at the time of filing of the nomination papers and at no
other time.
B-4 Resolution No. 3-66. RESOLUTION AWARDING CONTRACT FOR THE
PURCHASE OF LIQU D CHLORINE.
Mr. White stated bids were received from Tops Chemical Company,.
Jones Chemical Inc., and Los Angeles Chemical Company for the supply
of liquid chlorine for use at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Tops
Chemical Company was the low bidder and he recommended the adoption
of Resolution No. 3-66 awarding and authorizing signing of the con-
tract.
Mr. White then read Resolution No. 3-66 in its entirety.
Motion: Councilman Zinn moved that Resolution No. 3-66 be approved.

approved.
Councilman Payne questioned, as a matter of information, the amount
of chemical used in a years time. Mr. White advised that with the
new plant in operation approximately a ton a month will be used,
however, a more accurate estimate can be made after a three months
period of operation.
B-5 Resolution No. 4-66. RESOLUTION RELATING TO RENTAL OBLIGA-
TIONS OF GREEN WEST ACRES CORPORATION.
Mr. White noted the addition of Item B-5, relating to the Green West
Acres Lease Payment.
Mr. McIntire advised that the Council, in December, 1965, authorized
a continued deferrment of lease payments for Green West Acres pending
review and analysis by the City Attorney. However, due to Mr. Kardell's
recent illness, their office has been unable to attend to this matter
and they recommend the further extension of rent free time for Green
West Acres Corporation. He stated a substantial amount of informa-
tion has been received, but they have not been able to discuss the
matter with Green West Acres Corporation or those involved, and are
therefore unable to present a report to the Council at this time.
He then suggested that rather than have a series of extensions of
time, that an extension of 90 days be given at this time which should
be enough time to resolve the matter.
Mr. McIntire then read Resolution No. 4-66 in its entirety.

The City Attorney has prepared an ordinance amending the Municipal

Mr. McIntire then read proposed Ordinance No. 41 in its

Councilman Zinn stated he had expressed his views previously on
Council salaries and he feels that although this ordinance would be
an expense to the City it would serve another purpose in that it
would encourage local citizens to run for City offices who are well
qualified, yet may have limited incomes, as the financial burden of
so serving as Councilman is considerable.,
Councilman Payne concurred with Councilman Zinn's statement.
Councilman Zinn stated normally he would be against any additions
to the City Budget but in this case it may encourage others in years
to come.
Motion: Councilman Zinn moved that Ordinance No. 41 be read by

C-3 Request to rent building on existing harbor lease from
R. C. Rose and W. Chuba.
Mr. McIntire advised this is a request by Lessees of waterfront
property for permission to rent a building on an existing lease.
He then read letter dated January 3, 1966, from R. C. $ Margaret
N. Rose and William Chuba, requesting permission to rent a build-
ing on a month to month basis to Mr. Chuck Sites for an abalone
processing plant at a rate of $60.00 per month. Council approval
is required for assignment of subleases, and he recommended the
matter be referred to the City Attorney for the establishment of
facts and preparation of documents for presentation at the next
Council meeting.
Councilman Bowen asked if this could be expedited.
Mr. White briefed the Council stating the building site involves
a small independent building to the left of Rose's Restaurant and
the intended use is for an abalone processing plant. Approval has
been granted by the County Health Department and a business license
will not be issued until approval is granted by all the necessary
agencies, including the City. The building is sound and vacant.
Requests have been received in the past for a produce stand and a
diver's supply, but these requests were not granted due to various
problems. He then recommended the request be approved, subject to
proper recommendation by the City Attorney.
Mr. McIntire stated this may not be satisfactory to the parties
concerned, but if Mr. Rose and Mr. Chuba enter into an oral agree-
ment with Mr. Sites, it must be a documented agreement with the
City. If.Mr. Rose, Mr. Chuba and Mr. Sites wish to draw up an
agreement and forward the same to the City Attorney this could be
a basis for approval. The City Attorney may add to, or prepare a
separate document requiring all parties to sign. This would then
finalize the matter. He then advised it may take a little time to
document the request and suggested the matter be tabled until
January 25th.
Motion: Councilman Payne moved this matter be presented at the next
Council Meeting, under unfinished business. Councilman
Zinn seconded. Unanimously approved.
C-4 Letter re: Declaring the City of Morro Bay and the County

Mr. White noted that each Councilman is in receipt of a copy of this

Mayor Surfluh asked if the City is receiving better service from the
Woods Animal Shelter. Mr. White stated that the articles in the
press did a lot of good. Four trucks were dispatched the day after
the article appeared and the response was good in Morro Bay. There
are still some dogs running loose, but with limited personnel, only
a token effort can be made.

ing Council members to attend the Southern Regional Assessors'
Association Conference January 19, 20 and 21 at the Golden Tee

C-6 Request of R. B. Shultz to be included within Improvement
District No. 2.
Mr. White stated that in the formation of Improvement District No.
2, certain facilities were requested to be installed. This request
is not specifically to be included in the improvement district, but
to be able to receive sewer service to their property. There are
five lots on Highway 1, at the easterly portion of town; the busi-
ness property of R. Shultz and several vacant lots, as well as the
property of Bob Mills. At the time of construction of the Waste-
water Treatment Plant, these were the only lots that could not be
connected and they are without sewers and they now use septic tanks.
This is in violation of the City Ordinance, but it was allowed in
this instance since there is no provision to furnish service to
them. Mr. Shultz has submitted the request and it is recommended
that the City Engineer be authorized and directed to study this
particular problem for the best possible answer, whether to include
them in Improvement District No. 2, or as a separate assessment
proceeding, whichever is most applicable.
Motion: Councilman Zinn moved this matter be referred to the City
Engineering Department for study and report. Councilman
Payne seconded. Unanimously approved.
C-7 Request for information re: Summer Theatre
Mr. White read letter dated December 29, 1965, from Thomas-C. Carroll
requesting information regarding a business license and other perti-
nent information concerning the installation and operation of a
summer theatre during the months of June, July and August. The
Business License Ordinance does not take into consideration this
type of business, only carnivals and circuses and he questioned
whether this matter should be treated in this category Also that
the proper zoning would have to be considered and whether a variance
or conditional use permit would be required. Further that tents would
be required to be tested for flame proofing and meet other require-
ments.
Councilman Zinn said he feels the letter should be answered and
information requested as to the type of summer theatre and whether
they have a permanent place of business in order that it may be
checked by the Police Department.

Mr. White stated the Business License Ordinance needs revision as
there are some instances where it would be to the City's advantage
to require the posting of a performance bond.

ed, the necessary information supplied him as he requested,
and asking the nature of his summer theatre and a few
pertinent questions relating to it. Also that the Planning
Commission be asked what areas would be best suited for this

Resolution No. 6-66. RESOLUTION RELATING TO LEASE SITE
200 and 201 AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 134-65.
Mr. McIntire stated this matter has been pending for several weeks
and relates to lease sites 200 and 201. Council is aware that
several weeks ago, a Use Permit was requested by Central Coast
Investors who are lessees of 200 and 201. The Use Permit asked the
City Council to grant permission to Central Coast Investors and
others to pass over certain other City properties with construction
vehicles for the purpose of constructing improvements on the lease
sites. By resolution the Council authorized the granting of such
a Use Permit, subject to proper documentation by the City Attorney's
office. Since this Use Permit relates directly to one of the leases
on the waterfront, it has been scrutinized with care. After complet-
ing an investigation our conclusions are that the City Council cannot
grant this Use Permit. The granting of this permit will very likely
result in the relinquishment by the City of very valuable and -suit-
able property rights which are now possessed by the City in lease
sites 200 and 201. City Officials, employees of the Department of
Public Works, Fire Department, etc., cannot grant approvals or
permits for construction relating to these lease sites without Council
approval. The reason they cannot is that in doing so they may',be
waiving very substantial rights to the property which the City now
has.
These leases are now in substantial breach of their agreement and
have been for some months. Specifically, the leases were entered
MINUTES - City Council Meeting

into in 1963, effective April 1st, and the lease provides that
all of the improvements that were contemplated under the lease
were to have been constructed and completed prior to June 1, 1965.
The access road may have been put in, but the file doesn't disclose
that it has been constructed. The improvements have not been in-
stalled and these are the improvements they now propose to install.
This is definitely a legal breach. The lessee has failed to include
the City as an additional insured under its insurance policy, not-
withstanding a request from the Director of Public Works on July 13,
1965. It is apprarent from a copy of a letter from the District
Attorney to the Board of Supervisors relating to these sites that
an interest in the lease has been assigned without approval. No
approval has been requested by the City, legally speaking, and these
breaches by the lessee of this lease give to the City substantial
and valuable property rights in the lease premises that may mean the
lease is terminated, but whatever the rights -are, they are sub-
stantial rights. Further, City property cannot be given away by
the City Council because of the obligations as trustee and keeper
of the public property. By granting the Use Permit, the City would
be giving away some or all of these rights which it now has: In
effect, you cannot stand by and watch another man perform an act
and not say anything and then turn around and say that he was doing
something wrong and in so doing, claim damages. The Use Permit
application specifies that the lessee wants the Use Permit to build
the improvements which should have been built last year, but if you
grant the permit to build, the permit is authorized to amend the
lease to some extent and waive the specific date which was set forth
in the lease. The same doctrine is true to a slightly lower degree
when we talk about a building permit or construction permit. By
giving such a permit without Council approval an employee could be
waiving a right. Therefore City employees may not approve an applica-
tion or they may prejudice the City in these substantial rights.
It is necessary to view this entire matter in perspective, to go
into the background. There is a substantial piece of property involv-
ed, 1200' x 200' - 240,000 sq ft, near the waterfront. The annual
rent is $1860 a year. Term of the lease is fifty years, not twenty
years with an option to renew, but a flat fifty years. The file on
the lease site indicates in a note of the Harbor Engineer that the
gross income annually for this particular use will be approximately
$48,000 a year on an eighty percent average occupancy for a ten
month period. The lease provided that improvements on the property
will possibly be in the approximate value of $50,000. If this is
true, he have a $S0,000 capital expenditure and gross $48,000 annually
on a fifty year lease, at a return to the City of $1860 per year.
There are no real property taxes. This has been a good deal for the
lessee from the start. Under the terms of the lease, engineering
and construction work were required to be completed by June 1965.
They had only to build an access road within three months of the
date which the lease was granted and within twenty-seven months install
the camp site improvements. There has been no construction of the
improvements. This reviews the lessees obligation to the lessor and
he was warned at least once to meet the provisions of the lease. It
can be assumed under the circumstances that he had been advised of
the requirements of the lease document as they are perfectly distinct
in the lease. The Lessee bid on these specific terms. They have

also employed the former Harbor Engineer who drafted the letter
referred to, which was sent out by the County Administrator's
Office. Thus we are unable to justify non-compliance with the
lease. It is the City Attorney's opinion that the City Council
cannot at this time grant this Use Permit as requested and must
direct the appropriate officials of the City to cease and desist
from any action on granting or approval of permits.relating to
this lease site until approved by the City Council. This should
be acted upon this evening.
Councilman Zinn asked if there had been any litigation involving
this particular lease site which would have caused the lessees
to live up to their agreement by installing the road and construct-
ing the required facilities they agreed to in the lease.
Mr. McIntire replied that we are not aware of any litigation.
Councilman Zinn asked if the County issued a Use Permit.
Mr. McIntire replied that to the best of our knowledge and to the
extent that can be determined, there has been no County approval
on any of these matters. The lease provides that the Master Plan
for the lease must be approved prior to the right to construct any
improvements. A Master Plan of sorts was submitted, however, this
is as far as our files indicate.and there has been no formal or
informal approval. Late in 1964, they did refer to an access road,
but we find nothing approving anything along these lines. In an
unrelated matter, an assignment was approved by the County. A
letter from the District Attorney to the Board of Supervisors dis-
closes that Central Coast Investors has succeeded to the interest
of Mr. Hart. We don't know whether the assignment has been made
or is still up for approval as our office has not been approached.
The lessee seems to be taking the position that the City has no
interest in the lease or the property as they haven't named the
City and County as additional insured. All prior inquires have
been directed to the County and the only communication we have re-
ceived is that requesting the Use Permit.
Councilman Payne stated that it appears from the existing informa-
tion that the Council has no other alternative to take and recommend-
ed that we cease and desist from taking any action on these leases
until further information is received.
Mr. McIntire advised that since former Resolution No. 134-65 granted
a Use Permit, it`must be rescinded by resolution of the Council.
Motion: Councilman Payne moved that we cease and desist in any
action relating to lease sites 200 and 201 at this time
and that Resolution No. 134-65 be rescinded.
Mr. McIntire then verbally proposed the wording for
Resolution No. 6-66, Resolution Relating to Lease Site

Mr. McIntire advised that Mr. Little has checked the property and
there are some stakes, not definite however, and that no work has
been performed on the facility since the harbor dredging.
Mrs. Kit Walling asked whether the dredging sand placed on the lease
site would have any effect on the construction of the improvements
requested of the lessees. Mr. White replied that the added fill
should have made construction more feasible.
Mr. McIntire stated that we have been unable to determine any factor
which would be a legal basis for avoiding one of these express con-
ditions of the lease contract, dredging sand or any other factor.
Councilman Zinn asked whether it would be appropriate to have the
use of this lease reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to
initiation of the General Plan or 701 Plan.
Councilman Payne stated this area was included in the Harbor Plan,
therefore, we should have some measure as to what the area will be.
Mayor Surfluh stated it will not be too long before this will all
be gone over in detail by the planners.
Mr. McIntire stated that it is to the benefit of the Council to for -
stall any permanent improvements on the property until such time as
the plan has been adopted, as it will disclose what the property
should be used for and it might be well to defer any decisions
regarding permits, since the initiation of the 701 Plan or General
Plan is so close.
Councilman Zinn stated he had talked with several property owners in
the vicinity of the Shell Service Station on Highway 41 and Frontage
Road and they are disturbed over the height and brightness of the
recently installed shell sign. They have asked that the matter be
brought to the attention of the Council and request a letter be
sent to Shell Oil Company similar to the Planning Commission's
letter, with copies to their public relations office, asking that a
representative look into the situation in order that they may
appreciate the problem these people have. He stated he would like
to go on record, as the Planning Commission has, in asking the Council
to give this matter some consideration and see if the request is
legitimate. He then proposed the Council write a letter to the Shell
Oil Company.
Mr. White advised that Shell representatives have been in the area,
however, they did not choose to come in and discuss the matter, but
only made inquiry of the Department of Public Works as to what
ordinance is in effect. He then suggested making specific recommenda-
tions after an engineering study has been made."
Councilman Zinn stated all residents have either signed or filed a
letter, or both, and most realize the sign will still be there, but
that a compromise settlement agreement would be agreeable.
Mayor Surfluh stated that -he felt the sign should be lowered by at
least twenty feet.
