He recommended that the ordinance and adopt it as a MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING -JANUARY 28, 1985 PAGE THREE Mayor Zeuschner opened the matter to the public. One gentleman asked why it was necessary to increase the bond for the City Treasurer. Mr. Napper explained that it was standard procedure for cities to bond the individual responsible for investing the City's monies; it was a security measure. Howard Gaines felt that the public should have an opportunity to comment on all portions of the agenda, not just items reserved for public hearings. MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved that the hearing be closed to the public. The motion was seconded by Council- member Kaltenbach and unanimously carried. (5-0) Councilmember Risley felt that section 2.04.030 designating all meetings to be held in the Recreation Hall was inappropriate since Council does hold meetings elsewhere on occasion. Mr. LeSage stated that the section should stay as is since the Council always holds its regular meetings in the Recreation Hall and then adjourns to other locations for special or adjourned meetings. Councilmember Risley stated that Morro Bay achieves a high degree of democracy because it allows the public to speak on City issues; he does not feel it should be discouraged. He felt that if people wished to comment on something on the Consent Calendar, they could use the new Public Comment section of the agenda to inform Council that they wished to speak on that item when it comes before Council. Mayor Zeuschner did not want to discourage public comments on City issues; however, he did feel that the length of time some individuals take to make their comments impinges on the rights of others whose items come up much later in the evening. He also felt that the quality of the decisions Council makes goes down-hill the later the evening. He suggested that the word "regular" be inserted in section 2.04.030 before the word "meetings." MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved that Ordinance No. 269 be read by title and number only. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Kaltenbach and unanimously carried. (5-0) Mr. Napper read Ordinance No. 269 by title and number. MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved for the Ordinance No. 269 as a first reading. seconded by Councilmember Kaltenbach carried.

She stated that the City was $460,000 over estimated revenues for the first six months and explained the reasons for this. She stated that City departments had spent approximately 45% of their budgets leaving about 55% unspent. $500,000 has been spent on capital projects leaving about 3/4 of the budgeted monies unspent. Mrs. Burt reviewed the chart prepared for indicated the City's current financial position. the City has a surplus of $2.5 million with $1.4 General Fund (non-discretionary) and the rest funds. Council which It showed that million in the in restricted Mr. Napper reviewed the projects submitted by staff as possible expenditures for the surplus. He stated that staff had submitted a total list of capital expenditures in the amount of $8.3 million, however, this had been pared down to the priorities listed before Council. One suggestion by staff for the use of the surplus funds was to repay the water loan by placing $806,000 into an interest-bearing account and use the interest earned to pay the principle and interest on the loan. This would mean that the retirement of the loan could be accomplished without increased costs to the water consumer. Mr. Napper also noted advisory board input for Council consideration and outlined some needs established by staff which were not included in the priority items at this time. He recommended that Council take input from the public and provide their own input to staff and allow staff to bring back a comprehensive package at the next Council meeting for adoption. Mayor Zeuschner opened the matter to the public. Jim Rodgers felt that some of the surplus funds should be spent on increasing the salaries of the police and fire personnel. Mike Winters commented that with regard expenditure on an IBM main frame computer, computers that gave twice the power at half the City could consider purchasing. to the proposed there were other cost that the Ross Newkirk referred to the letter he had written to Council regarding the dredging and drainage pipe upgrading needed in the Morro Bay Fuel Dock area and suggested that some funds be budgeted for that problem. MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING -JANUARY 28, 1985 PAGE FIVE Robert Lane suggested Council set aside $500,000 this year and a sum each year into a separate fund to import water when that became feasible. Howard Gaines agreed with Mr. Lane and suggested also that a fund be set up for streets, sewers and harbor dredging. MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that the hearing be closed to the public. The motion was seconded by Council- member Kaltenbach and unanimously carried. (5-0) Councilmember Miller suggested budgeting funds to improve the circulation of the Morro Bay Boulevard/Quintana Road intersection. Councilmember Risley suggested that consideration be given to the deficit in the Dial-A-Ride budget, solving the parking problem on the Embarcadero, upgrading the condition of the City's recycling center, establishing a legal department combined with the harbor administration, and upgrading the finance reports to reflect comparable figures with past years. He also stated that he would like an assessment of the effectiveness of the City's current street overlay program before approving additional funds for this purpose. Councilmember Kaltenbach felt that the number one priority should be water and that the suggestions made by staff should be prioritized. Councilmember Sheetz stated that she supported Chart C which delineated the repayment of the water loan. She suggested that perhaps the time had come to talk about the State Water Project and get together with other cities who are having the same problem and organize a joint effort. She was also in favor of budgeting funds for the traffic circulation plan. Mayor Zeuschner reviewed the proposals submitted thus far and referred to a 1973 Community Goals Committee which had set out goals for the City. Many of the suggestions before Council encompassed goals set twelve years ago. He suggested that staff come back with a comprehensive report, including the suggestions submitted, at the next Council meeting. There was further discussion regarding the repayment of the water loan with Council generally in favor of the concept. B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING -JANUARY 28, 1985 PAGE SIX C. NEW BUSINESS C-1 QUARTERLY REPORT ON WATER PROJECTS Mr. Nichols reviewed the progress on the water projects for the City including the waterline replacement program, water tank replacement and booster pumps, chlorine alarms, water quality, CMC effluent, water rights EIR, geology report for new wells, recommendations for upgrading existing wells and the reservoir on San Bernardo Creek. Councilmember Kaltenbach asked if the replacement of 2 11 water lines could not be declared an emergency thereby allowing the City to do the project without going out to bids. Mr. LeSage stated that the requirement for declaring an emergency is that the situation must be a great public calamity and he does not feel that replacing the pipes meets that definition. Councilmember Risley stated that although he feels good about the way things are going, he does not feel the City has gone anywhere. He suggested funding the feasibility study of the San Bernardo Creek dam and allocating funds to recover existing wells. He stated that staff needed to know that water was the Council's priority and to ask for funds to implement the Water Management Plan when necessary. There was discussion as to whether the Council should allocate the funds for water projects at this time or wait until the next Council meeting. MOTION: Councilmember $22,000 to feasibility Councilmember Sheetz the San study. moved that Council appropriate Bernardo Creek project cost/ The motion was seconded by unanimously carried. (5-0) Risley and MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved that Council instruct staff to set items 12 and 13 from the A-2 staff report as priority items 1 and 2 from Council. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Kaltenbach and unanimously carried. (5-0) C-2 REPORT ON WELL RELOCATION STUDY Nick Nichols reviewed the geologist report prepared by con- sulting geologist Tom Wooley which contains recommendations for drilling test wells as six possible locations. MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that the geologist's report be accepted and that staff be instructed to carry it out as rapidly as possible. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (5-0) MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING -JANUARY 28, 1985 PAGE SEVEN Councilmember Risley called attention to recommendation number 7 of the geologist's report regarding sampling and analyzing all city wells quarterly; he felt this recommendation was a good one. Mr. Nichols responded that the City's current sampling frequency meets all health requirements, and additional sampling would require increased operational funding. C-3 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT LEASE AGREEMENT Mr. Napper stated that the proposed lease between the City and the APCD involves the property at 899 Morro Bay Boulevard which is also the City's recycling yard. The prior lease called for $1 per year lease rent and he is proposing to increase that amount to $60.00 per year. The term of the lease is for 9 years, and is in the greater public benefit for APCD to remain in the City. MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved for the approval of the lease. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Sheetz and unanimously carried. (5-0) Councilmember Risley asked if anyone receives results of the testing carried on by the APCD. Mr. Napper stated that the Planning Department receives quarterly reports. C-4 LEASE USE AMENDMENT -LEASE SITES NO. 89 AND 89W (BOB'S SPORT FISHING Mr. Napper stated that the request is to permit an additional use on this lease site of "retail sales of prepared and take-out foods and refreshments." He noted that the Harbor Commission had questioned whether or not the lease was performing the requirements for an active shipyard, and he has since received verification from the lessee that he is performing to the mini- mum lease requirements. The Harbor Commission had recommended that two maintenance code violations be corrected prior to the issuance of a use permit. Mr. Napper recommended approval of the requested use with conditions. Nancy Bast, stating that she was speaking as an individual rather than a member of the Harbor Commission, stated that the Harbor Commission had been instructed that they had to consider the requested use separately from the violations of the shipyard. She reviewed some problems a sub-lessee has with the lease-holder and the fact that the shipyard cannot accommodate commerical vessels, but merely party boats. Councilmember Sheetz stated that she had made an on-site inspec- tion of the shipyard, and there is not a machine shop on the MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING -JANUARY 28, 1985 PAGE EIGHT site. She felt that the boat yard was an eye-sore, Embarcadero did not need more visitor serving uses, one requested by Mr. Gunther. and that the such as the Mr. Napper noted that under the requirements of the lease, the lease-holder only had to be able to haul out boats that were fifty feet in length and 20 tons weight. Nelson Sullivan stated that Mr. Gunther (lease-holder) was unable to haul out his boat which is 46 feet and 50 tons. He noted that he had to travel to Ventura or Moss Landing to get his boat out of the water. He suggested revising the require- ments to specify "draft" statistics rather than weight or length. Mr. LeSage stated that when a lease-holder requests an addi- tional use, it is an opening for the City to negotiate other needs; for example, a better boat yard. Mayor Zeuschner suggested that the matter be turned back to staff with direction to work with the lease-holder to try to get the shipyard upgraded. Jack Wallace, property manager, reviewed the lease terms and stat~d that the enforcement of the lease terms had to be considered separately from the request for an additional use. MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved that the matter be tabled until such time as staff and the lessee can work out a more viable arrangement. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Risley and unanimously carried. (5-0) C-5 SOUTH T-PIER PHASE 3 GRANT APPLICATION (COASTAL CONSERVANCY) Steve Wolter reviewed Phase 3 concept which includes a new restroom, pedestrian walkway and handrail, resurfaced and landscaped parking, parkland facilities, and handicap access. The cost estimate for the project is $475,000 which will be funded by the Coastal Conservancy with a possible requirement for payback to the mid-1990's. Councilmember Sheetz stated that when the proposal was before the Planning Commission, there was a recommendation for reserved parking for the fishermen which does not appear on the concept plan before Council. Mr. Nichols stated that it was not in the final plan which Council had approved. Mr. Wolter stated that the plan before Council was concept, and precise details could be worked out later. MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING -JANUARY 28, 1985 PAGE NINE Nancy Bast stated that the recommendation for reserved parking for the fishermen had also been recommended by the Harbor Commission and she felt that it should be included on the plan sent to the Conservancy. There was considerable discussion regarding this matter and the fact of being unable to accommodate conflicting uses by various interested groups. MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved that the concept plan be sent back to the Harbor Commission, Parks and Recrea- tion Commission, and Planning Commission for their review and input concerning previous recommendations that have been made and, specifically concerning parking and the restroom. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Kaltenbach and unanimously carried. (5-0) C-6 WATER AWARENESS PROGRAM, WATER ADVISORY BOARD Mr. Napper reviewed the program proposed by the Water Advisory Board and recommended that Council endorse the program with commendation to the Water Advisory Board for their initiative and creativity. Councilmember Risley felt that the Board had done an excellent job on the program. He suggested that the City's progressive water rate structure be included in the program, include CAL in the list of organizations to be invited to participate in the program, and eliminate the Scenic Coast Board of Realtors as the sponsor listed on the posters. He felt the program should be sponsored by the City of Morro Bay or the Water Advisory Board. Councilmember Sheetz stated that she had talked with Mrs. Melton regarding the program and suggested that hand-outs be prepared for the motel rooms in the City. She agreed with Councilmember Risley regarding the sponsorship of the program. Councilmember Miller approved of the program as is. He that if the Scenic Coast Board of Realtors was willing to money up for the program, their name could be on the poster. also suggested that the Kiwanis Club be listed on organizations to be invited to participate. felt put He the MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved that the program be accepted as is. The motion died for lack of a second. MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING -JANUARY 28, 1985 PAGE TEN MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that Council accept the report and commend the Water Advisory Board and forward the 3 suggestions he made to the Board. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Sheetz and carried with Councilmember Miller voting no. (4-1) C-7 APPROPRIATION FOR CITY DREDGING NEEDS, HARBOR TURNING BASIN Mr. Napper recommended that Council approve an allocation of $25,000 from the Harbor Emergency Reserve Fund to dredge the Harbor turning basin. The City will realize a saving in this expenditure if it acts now while the Corps of Engineers is in the harbor performing maintenance dredging. Councilmember Sheetz asked if there was a way to incorporate the work that needed to be done at the Morro Bay Fuel Dock. Nick Nichols stated that he needed more time to discuss the method- ology and costs with the Corps before he could provide Council with an answer. He could check on dredging out the area in front of the Gunther shipyard as well. MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved that Council allocate $25,000 from the Harbor Emergency Reserve Fund for dredging the harbor turning basin and authorize staff to secure the permits necessary; and, that staff also investigate the cost of dredging and storm pipe repair at the Morro Bay Fuel Dock and dredging at the Gunther lease site. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Kaltenbach and unanimously carried . (5-0) C-8 RE-DESIGNATION OF CITY DELEGATES TO SAN LUIS OBISPO AREA COORDINATING COUNCIL Mr . Napper stated that the Mayor is the current delegate to the Area Council and has a time conflict so that he will be unable to attend the regular meeting.

Councilmember Sheetz stated that at the last meeting she had abstained from voting on an agenda item regarding allocation of funds to the Chamber of Commerce because of an accusation that she had a conflict of interest.
