Anika Velasquez enjoys working at her your own pace and likes the individual learning style of the school. The school is inclusive, with no cliques and all students socialize with each other. They have a strict health food policy, only eat fruits and vegetables for snacks, and lunches are healthy. They work on “partnership” vs “dominator” which encourages kindness. Fletcher enjoys the hands-on learning style, when your work is AGENDA NO: A-1 MEETING DATE: 4/22/2014 2 MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 8, 2014 complete, you can walk around and do other learning activities. Instead of just one field trip at the end of the year, they go on multiple field trips. Owen Bettencourt says he enjoys 3 different learning experiences: lots of one-on-one with the teacher and you can go at your own pace; if you can’t stay still at your desk, this is a good opportunity for you; and his favorite, there are requirements to be met but you also have the freedom in how you complete the tasks. Susan Stewart announced that the Chamber is sponsoring a Candidates Forum on April 17, 2014 from 830-1000am at the Morro Bay Veteran’s Hall. The League of Women’s Voters will run the forum and they are attempting to get AGP to tape it. Tom Hafer announced the Blessing of the Fleet which is being held on Sunday, April 27, 2014 followed by a BBQ at the Morro Bay Veteran’s Hall at 1pm. The event is open to the public. John Barta spoke out on the City’s water situation. He stated that by a 65% vote of the people of Morro Bay, we became a part of the State Water project. The biggest cost of the program is the cost of the pipelines which will be paid off in full in 2021 at which point our state water costs will be reduced to nearly nothing. He feels strongly that there will always be water. Our full needs will be met this year as we will use our savings from prior years. If we ever have a reduction in deliveries of state water, we always have other ways to bring water to our taps thru groundwater pumping from the Morro Basin and desal. State water has met 87% of our needs over the last 16 years. Ken Vesterfelt announced upcoming events: April 12th is the 4th Annual Emergency Car Show from 9am-3pm and promises to be a great family event. There will be a Code 3 Ride the evening of April 11th.

The motion was seconded by Councilmember Christine Johnson and carried unanimously, 5-0. Ayes: Irons, C. Johnson, N. Johnson, Leage, Smukler 5 MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 8, 2014 No’s: None A-6 WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY (WRF) PROJECT STATUS; (PUBLIC SERVICES) Since there won’t be a JPA meeting this month, Councilmember Smukler pulled this item so that Mr. Livick can give the public a chance to hear what has gone on and what’s coming up.

Johnson, Leage, Smukler No’s: None B. PUBLIC HEARINGS B-1 INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE 585; AMENDMENT TO TITLE 17 (ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - #A00-013 AMENDING SECTION 17.48.320 SECONDARY UNIT ORDINANCE); (PUBLIC SERVICES) There was no staff report presentation as staff has yet to receive and evaluate the information from the California Coastal Commission staff. It is being requested to continue this item to the April 22nd City Council meeting. As the item was noticed, Mayor Irons opened the public hearing for Item B-1. John Barta stated he caught one thing: the secondary dwelling code applies to all residential zones. It occurred to him that while it’s maybe appropriate to keep 900 square feet in single family zones, it may not be appropriate for R2 or R3 zones. He feels we should increase the square footage to 1200 sq feet in the R2 and R3 zones. Barry Brannin stated that one of the unintended consequences with any change is what someone else may envision. Someone up in Cayucos wants to convert a 2 bedroom caretaker unit to a single family residence and then use it as a vacation rental. Without a CUP defining the parameters, this might happen here. He feels we need a CUP on every granny unit. The public hearing for Item B-1 was closed. MOTION: Councilmember Nancy Johnson moved to continue Item B-1 to April 22, 2014. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Leage and carried unanimously, 5- 0. Ayes: Irons, C. Johnson, N. Johnson, Leage, Smukler No’s: None 6 MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 8, 2014 B-2 RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 INITIATING PROCEEDINGS TO LEVY THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE CLOISTERS PARK AND OPEN SPACE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT; (RECREATION & PARKS) Interim City Manager Ed Kreins presented the staff report. Mayor Irons opened the public comment period for Item B-2. Dawn Beattie wants to ensure that the Engineer’s Report is done in accordance with the law. Beyond the minimum, she would like to see the report be a bottom up estimate so that the special benefit is identified/addressed. The public comment period for Item B-2 was closed. Councilmember Smukler stated we are continually working to uphold our obligations. He is aware our staff has had time to meet with Cloisters representatives and is hopefully keeping the relationship strong. Councilmember Christine Johnson stated that in past years there hasn’t been a quarterly meeting that hasn’t been attended by at least the Mayor and/or herself. She feels there has been good responsiveness from staff. There has been a lot of time and effort spent since last year building good partnership with some of the long standing issues. Mayor Irons suggested that Ms. Beattie speak with City Attorney Joe Pannone for any clarifications he may need. MOTION: Councilmember Christine Johnson moved adoption of Resolution 21-14 ordering the preparation of an Engineer’s Report detailing the expenses projected for FY 2014-15 for the maintenance of the Cloisters Park and Open Space. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Smukler and carried unanimously, 5-0. Ayes: Irons, C. Johnson, N.

Mayor Irons opened the public comment period for Item C-1; seeing none, the public comment period was closed. Councilmember Christine Johnson thanked the volunteers at the Chamber who have been working so hard on this. She feels very supportive of the revised scope and changes made. Councilmember Smukler feels this is a good scope of work and is supportive of it. The possibility of a mobile app is intriguing. He feels that Section 1B, #11 is too vague. He would like to add “City programs and services” to the marketing efforts of the website and mobile app. Mayor Irons recognized the work done since January and is in support of a successful Chamber and Economic Development Program. MOTION: Councilmember Smukler moved approval of Resolution 20-14, reestablishing the Chamber of Commerce Economic and Business Development Agreement for FY 2013-14 to include the Economic Development Work Plan for the remainder of FY 2013-14 and adding to 1B, #11: “Market local businesses, City programs and services, and the community through the development of an all-inclusive website and mobile app.” The motion was seconded by Councilmember Nancy Johnson and carried unanimously, 5-0. Ayes: Irons, C. Johnson, N. Johnson, Leage, Smukler No’s: None C-2 APPROVAL OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF LEASE SITE 63-64/63W- 64W (GRAY’S INN, 561 EMBARCADERO) FROM JOSEPHINE GRAY TO TODD BASTON AND TAMARA GRAY BASTON AND CONSIDERATION OF CONSENT OF LANDOWNER FOR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT PROPOSED FOR LEASE SITE; (HARBOR) Harbor Director Eric Endersby presented the staff report. 8 MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 8, 2014 Applicants Tamara and Todd Baston wanted to address the idea of the time-line. They hoped to get through the summer season and deal with some safety repair issues. After that, and based on new drawings, they now need to do an eel grass study. They then hope to start the walk-way and the others after they get a feel for the business; they want to start with street side repairs and then follow that up with the ADA ramp. The boardwalk would be the last piece of the puzzle. Mayor Irons opened up the public comment period for Item C-2; seeing none, the public comment period was closed. Councilmember Leage feels this project is unique and fits Morro Bay; with all the tear downs he’s seen down there, he is glad to see it being saved and brought back. Councilmember Christine Johnson is in support of the direction of the leaseholders, she feels this is a thoughtful renovation and appreciates the ADA access added. She also appreciates the investment on the waterfront and sees that they are aware of both short term and long term improvements. Mayor Irons stated that the improvements - addressing public access, sidewalk, ADA, and the harborwalk - are great and is in support of moving forward. MOTION: Councilmember Christine Johnson moved approval of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and to accept the leaseholders’ proposal as submitted by approving a Consent of Landowner Form to enable Leaseholders to file their proposal applications with the Planning Division. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Leage and carried unanimously, 5-0. Ayes: Irons, C. Johnson, N. Johnson, Leage, Smukler No’s: None D. NEW BUSINESS D-1 DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) TO DEVELOP A DETAILED WORK PLAN FOR THE GENERAL PLAN/ LOCAL COASTAL PLAN (GP/LCP) UPDATE; (PUBLIC SERVICES) Public Services Director Rob Livick presented the staff report. Mayor Irons opened up the public comment period for Item D-1; seeing none, the public comment period was closed. Councilmember Smukler stated this has been an ongoing need that we haven’t been historically successful with. With the complexity of the process, this kind of road map will prove to be an important step to help us stay on track; he is in favor of giving Mr. Livick the leeway with the funding source within the existing budget; going with a firm would be the quickest and cleanest way to get this done. 9 MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 8, 2014 Councilmember Nancy Johnson likes the idea of looking to hire a contract employee who could be an ongoing part of the project, get the road map started and then work on it. She knows that Mr. Livick needs some latitude; hopes her option will be considered; but also feels it’s okay to do what he needs to do to get this project moving. Councilmember Christine Johnson feels it’s very clear cut decision – this is our Major City Goal #3, Update Plans for Current and Future Land Use Needs. She is supportive of moving forward; and given the work load in the Public Services Department, bringing in professionals who do this for living is our best option. Mayor Irons echoes the comments on the goal. He would be in agreement with funding a contract firm to do this; it will provide us with experts in a variety of land use areas who can combine their knowledge and skill who can then drill down and narrow to “what’s the best way to do this.” As far as the funding source, he agrees with allowing Mr. Livick leeway. MOTION: Councilmember Smukler moved to authorize staff to utilize existing budgetary sources and issue an RFP and award a contract for the development of a detailed work plan for the General Plan/Local Coastal Plan Update in accordance with the City’s Consultant Hiring Policy. The motion was seconded by Mayor Irons and carried unanimously, 5-0. Ayes: Irons, C. Johnson, N. Johnson, Leage, Smukler No’s: None D-2 MORRO BAY FISHING COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY PLAN REVIEW, ACCEPTANCE, AND DIRECTION ON PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS; (HARBOR) Harbor Director Eric Endersby presented the staff report. Henry Ponterelly, the City’s Plan consultant, also made a presentation. The grant directed them to take a very comprehensive approach to assessing the commercial fishing industry and how it fits into the working waterfront and the implications for the greater community. They also looked at the economic, social and environmental settings that the commercial fishermen operate and based the plan on that approach. Take aways from the plan include the fact that the community is capable of planning strategically, forming alliances and raising funds to achieve goals; taking an active and substantive role in decisions that impact their industry; and, the industry plays a major role in the economics of the City. Methods for the project relied heavily on input received from commercial fishermen; stakeholders; councilmembers; business owners; state, federal and local regulatory archives; anthropologists; economists; etc… Key findings surrounded critical infrastructure and services (Morro Bay maintains much of the critical infrastructure that a vibrant fishing industry relies); economics (the importance to tourism of having a working waterfront and commercial fishing generates 192 jobs on the waterfront); social (the Morro Bay fishing community maintains a strong sense of social cohesion, self- organization and leadership; they are one of the most capable of all fishing communities up and down the coast); and environmental (management measures in California are successful in increasing fishing abundance). Recommendations, many of which are ongoing and just require continued civic backing, include support for a boatyard, fuel dock, refrigerated deep freeze 10 MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 8, 2014 storage, continued participation in the management process, berths and slips, commercial fish processing, vehicle access, and sea level rise. He stressed that this is a living, working document which can and should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. It can also be used as a benchmark to compare performance from year to year. Mayor Irons opened the public comment period for Item D-2. Alan Alward stated that the fishermen were totally in support of this; are pleased to have a community sustainability plan; it has also been a huge boost for them. He feels the ideas are well thought out. The Morro Bay Commercial Fishermen organization is taking an ongoing survey to try and prioritize those things that require new infrastructure so that we can spend the money wisely. The public comment period for Item D-2 was closed. Mayor Irons feels it’s prudent to include language regarding abalone into the plan. Councilmember Smukler agrees with the inclusion of abalone farm references; it’s important to keep track of the potential need for hosting an expansion of the farm. Councilmember Christine Johnson would also be supportive of including the abalone reference. This report gives you a great understanding of what the fishing industry is doing in Morro Bay. She is fully ready to support the report. MOTION: Mayor Irons moved to accept the plan as presented with recommended changes as discussed in the aquaculture comments and the language to identify the potential expansion and include the specific sites that might be a potential: wastewater treatment plant or power plant; and, direct staff to review this document annually with the Harbor Advisory Board for suggestions to update the plan and for implementation, and forward any recommendations on to Council on an annual basis. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Smukler and carried unanimously, 5-0. Ayes: Irons, C. Johnson, N. Johnson, Leage, Smukler No’s: None There was continued discussion specifically about the boat haul-out facility. Harbor Director Eric Endersby stated that a first phase of a feasibility study would be more of a market analysis and financial analysis of the project. The second phase would be more of a siting study. The Commercial Fishermen are looking for City’s participation as a funding partner with the Commercial Fishermen for these studies, splitting the costs half and half. Councilmember Nancy Johnson stated that before we talk about whether or not it’s profitable or not; we need to talk about the environmental impacts of building a boat haul out. The permitting process and the possibility of even getting permits concern her as well. Councilmember Christine Johnson feels it would be best to accommodate the financial share of the City’s side to decide in phase one, through the market and financial analysis, if we even need 11 MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 8, 2014 to go any further and need to put on goals ever again; or, if we can explain thru the analysis to the fishing and waterfront community that for Morro Bay, it’s just not feasible. We aren’t ready for closure on this recommendation yet. The plan gives a nice historical overview of the steps the community has taken which at one point just stopped. She would like to see this resolved. Councilmember Leage loves the fishermen and wants the best for them. He also stated he has been around the fishing business his whole life. He can’t imagine why we are going down this road. We need an expert up here to tell us what this is all about before get involved in this and throw money away. Why not join up with Avila and try to help them. This is a project studied many times and it has always come up short. Mayor Irons stated the feasibility study should include competitive market and identify if this project is feasible. Councilmember Smukler stated that in terms of the message we are hearing from the Harbor Advisory Board, the fishing community is really interested in pursuing this and requested that we follow up with this. We have funds earmarked for this sort of effort that are being matched; he’s in support of this being addressed and either moving on or closing it. MOTION: Mayor Irons moved the City Council recognize the Harbor Advisory Board and the Boat Haul-out Ad hoc Committee recommended to partner and fund 50% of the boat haul out feasibility study as proposed by Lisa Wise Consultant and the City Council and direct staff to come back with an agreement to approve the feasibility study and contract. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Christine Johnson and carried unanimously, 5-0. Ayes: Irons, C. Johnson, N. Johnson, Leage, Smukler No’s: None D-3 DISCUSSION OF THE SERVICE RETIREMENT INCENTIVE (SRI) PROGRAM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2014/15; (ADMINISTRATION) Interim City Manager Ed Kreins presented the staff report recommending that a fourth alternative be added; cease the Service Retirement Incentive Program all together. Councilmember Nancy Johnson doesn’t want to see us stop the program because maybe someday we’re going to need it; she agrees with not funding it this year but would like to see it kept on the books. Mayor Irons opened the public comment period for Item D-3; seeing none, the public comment period was closed. Councilmember Smukler agrees with staff, the program has served its purpose and he doesn’t want to leave it on the books as he feels it will look like an empty promise. He would like to see it ceased. Councilmember Leage is hesitant to stop it completely as there might be a time to use it again. 12 MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL – APRIL 8, 2014 Councilmember Christine Johnson stated that based on staff feedback, no one wants to fund it this year and she is leaning towards stopping it all together. Mayor Irons is in support of not funding it this year and in fact of ceasing it all together. MOTION: Mayor Irons moved to cease the program in its entirety; not fund it this year and discontinue the program. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Smukler and carried 3-2. Ayes: Irons, C. Johnson, Smukler No’s: N. Johnson, Leage E. COUNCIL DECLARATION OF FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS - NONE ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 9:36pm. Recorded by: Jamie Boucher City Clerk
