ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
1. Grace Melton advised Council that the Water Awareness
Committee will be holding a Water Awareness Day at the Recrea-
tion Hall, Saturday, May 18th. She reviewed some of the
activities planned and stated that it would be free to the
public.
2. Jack Frost of 371 Yerba Buena discussed the new project
of nine new units being proposed for Yerba Buena. He suggested
that a 4-way stop sign be placed at the intersection of Tide and
Yerba Buena.
Mr. Frost also encouraged the Council to relocate the Harbor
Patrol office closer to the Rock for greater visibility of the
harbor entrance.
Mr. Frost objected to the notification process for rezoning;
the only notification he received when property in his area was
rezoned two years ago was an ad in the paper.
He also admonished the Council that the beacon at the
entrance to the harbor needed to be repaired.
3. Howard Gaines also discussed the rezoning notification
process and stated that property owners within a 3 mile radius
should be notified.
MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING -MAY 13, 1985
PAGE TWO
Mr. Gaines objected to item D-19 on the agenda which was a
request by Pacific Shellfish to amend their lease assignment
condition from a 100% cash deposit to a 150% performance bond.
He stated that Council had discussed and decided on this matter
at the last meeting, and if they were going to reconsider it, it
should be as an agendized public hearing so the public can
comment.
4. Nancy Castle advised that Chess Live! would be travel-
ing to Visalia this weekend for a tournament with Visalia.
5. Ed Ewing, commercial fisherman, felt that the Council
should keep the category designations on the Harbor Commission;
he also felt that the alternates should not speak at the
meetings.
A. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS & APPEARANCES
A-1 INTRODUCTION OF FY85-86 PROPOSED BUDGET
Mayor Zeuschner stated that the proposed budget was available at
City Hall and in the Library for public perusal. Forrest
Henderson, Acting City Administrator while Mr. Napper is on
vacation, presented the staff report. He stated that the budget
represents a 2% increase over last year's; total budget $6.4
million. He recommended that Council receive the proposed
budget and set May 28th as the first public hearing date on the
budget and Federal Revenue Sharing. The first week in June
should be set aside for daytime Budget workshops.
MOTION: Councilmember Kaltenbach moved that Council
proposed budget and set May 28, 1985 as
hearing on the budget and revenue sharing.

Councilmember Risley requested that staff develop a schedule of
when specific items will be considered so that people interested
in only specific parts of the budget can plan to be at the
meetings at that time.
A-2 CONSIDERATION OF ASSIGNMENT LEASE SITES NO. 102, 102W,
105.1W, 105.2 (BREBES) TO MICHAEL DE GARIMORE
Mr. Henderson reviewed the staff report on this matter and
stated that the proposed assignee has requested certain certifi-
cations and financial encumbrance of the lease. In considering
these requests, Council can also consider negotiating other
changes to the leases. He noted that they are also requesting
that Council approve 150% performance bond guaranteeing repairs

to the lease maintenance violations and timetable within which
to complete these repairs. The Harbor Commission has approved
the assignment with conditions and recommends that Council
suspend the Default Notice served on Brebes.
Councilmember Risley asked questions regarding the Default
Notice currently in effect against Brebes and Mr. Lesage
explained the legal process if Brebes fails to comply.
Mayor Zeuschner opened the matter to public hearing. Howard
Gaines encouraged Council to continue with the default against
Brebes and get the lease back for the City. He also objected to
the fact that the financial statement from the proposed assignee
was not audited; he did not think the assignee would qualify for
a performance bond based on the information before Council.
Mike DeGarimore, assignee, objected to the fact that his finan-
cial statement was subjected to public scrutiny; his insurance
company has stated that there will be no problem with the per-
formance bond. He requested that Council approve the transfer.
Mayor Zeuschner asked if he would be transferring his employees
from his current location or employing those already employed by
Brebes. Mr. DeGarimore said that he would be doing both.
Councilmember Risley asked him how long it would take to trans-
fer to the Brebes site and Mr. DeGarimore felt that he could be
in by July 1, 1985.
Ed Ewing spoke in favor of the transfer. Robin Baggett, attor-
ney for Mr. DeGarimore, asked that authorization be granted for
a member of the Council to sign a certification as to the
authenticity of the lease documents for title insurance purposes
and an estoppel certificate which basically says that the leases
contain all agreements and no new things will come up other than
what is in the lease documents. He also requested that Council
approve the transfer so that they can close escrow on June 3,
1985.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved that the hearing be closed
to the public. The motion was seconded by Council-
member Miller and unanimously carried. (5-0)
Councilmember Sheetz felt that the City would not gain by con-
tinuing with the Default against Brebes and attempting to regain
the lease for the City as it would take a long time to do so
legally through the courts. If the Council agrees to transfer,
Mr. DeGarimore can begin a business on the Embarcadero which
will benefit the commercial fishermen. Also, if Mr. DeGarimore
doesn't have the proper credentials, he will not be able to
obtain a loan for the improvements from a lending institution.

MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved that staff and City Attorney
be authorized to prepare the 2 documents (certification
regarding authenticity of lease documents and estoppel
agreement) requested by the applicant's attorney and
that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign.
The motion was seconded by Councilmember Kaltenbach and
unanimously carried. (5-0)
Councilmember Risley asked where the City would be if Mr.
DeGarimore defaults on the time schedule to correct the lease
code violations. Mr. Lesage stated that the City would be where
they are now, except for the added advantage of the performance
bond requirement.
He advised Council that an agreement be prepared regarding the
conditions of assignment to be accepted by both parties; the
City and the assignee. Along with the conditions, the agreement
would outline the specifics regarding encumbrancing of the lease
and the timetable for maintenance code violations to be
completed.
Councilmember Risley asked what the position of the City is with
regard to the request to assign the lease to Gunther, which the
Council denied after determining that Mr. Gunther was not quali-
fied to have the assignment. Mr. Lesage said that the lease
states that assignment of the lease cannot be unreasonably with-
held and one of the tests of "reasonableness" is whether or not
the proposed lessee is qualified to conduct the business of the
lease. The Council, in protecting the rights of the commercial
fishing industry, decided that Mr. Gunther was not; Mr. DeGari-
more has experience in the fishing industry and, therefore, is
qualified.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved for approval of the terms
and conditions as outlined in the staff report; also

A-3 CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVOCATION -CENTRAL
COAST SEAFOODS (MAIN STREET)
Mr. Multari reviewed the history on the Planning Commission's
recommendation to revoke the Conditional Use Permit for Central
Coast Seafoods at 2170 Main Street. During the time period of
the CUP, several revocation hearings were heard due to com-
plaints by residential neighbors. The Planning Commission with-
held revoking the CUP because of Mr. DeGarimore's efforts to
relocate the business. However, on April 15, 1985, the Planning
Commission found that continuous use at the Main Street site
would be detrimental to the comfort and general welfare of the
neighborhood and injurious and detrimental to the property in
the neighborhood due to noise, odor, traffic and the industrial-
like character of the operations. They also, in view of Mr.
DeGarimore's attempts to acquire the Brebes lease site, recom-
mended that if Council agrees to assign the lease to Mr. DeGari-
more, that he be required to submit a schedule of dates by when
his business would be relocated and the revocation of the CUP
would be in effect if he failed to submit the schedule or meet
the dates in the schedule as approved.
Mayor Zeuschner opened the matter to the public. Ernest Maltby
stated that the business has been in violation since 1981 and
recommended that Council revoke the permit effective July 1,
1985. Dale Auth, a resident in the area, encouraged revoking
the CUP with a specific deadline.
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 Miller felt that Council should give Mr. DeGari-
more at least until August 1st to relocate his business.
MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING -MAY 13, 1985

MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that Council endorse the
Planning Commission's recommendation that Council order
the revocation of the CUP for Central Coast Seafoods
based upon the findings of detriment to the welfare of
the neighborhood, and request staff to prepare a reso-
lution for formal adoption at the next meeting. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Kaltenbach and
unanimously carried. (5-0)
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that Council endorse the
Planning Commission's recommendation that Mr. DeGari-
more be afforded the opportunity to delay the revoca-
tion by presenting a specific timetable for phase-out
of operations at the Council's next meeting. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Sheetz and unani-
mously carried. (5-0)
A-4 CONSIDERATION OF CITY DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT -SECOND HEARING
Mr. Multari reviewed the changes made in the draft Housing
Element since the last Council meeting including a revision to
the chart on Population by the Age and Sex; an appendix regard-
ing Measure F; and an appendix regarding emergency shelter for
the homeless. John Ashbaugh, planning consultant, was present to
answer questions. Mr. Multari recommended that Council accept
the Housing Element and direct that it be forwarded to the State
Housing and Community Development Department for review and
comment. He stated that they are obligated to reply within 45
days.
Mayor Zeuschner opened the matter to the public for comments.
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)
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved that Council adopt the draft
Housing Element as amended and forward it to the State
Housing and Community Development Department for
review. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Kaltenbach and unanimously carried. (5-0)
A-5 WEED ABATEMENT HEARING, PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Henderson stated that property owners had been notified of
the City's intention to abate weeds on their property if they do
not have it taken care of themselves. The hearing is to receive
comments from property owners before the City commences abate-
ment.
MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING -MAY 13, 1985
PAGE SEVEN
Mayor Zeuschner opened the hearing to the public.
Howard Gaines stated that the City only gives the public
thirteen days to abate the weeds; he did not feel that was a
long enough period of time, especially for out of town property
owners. It was noted that the notices were sent out mid-April
notifying property owners to remove their weeds between May
17-30, 1985. Mr. Nichols stated that this period of time is
established to allow the City time to get the assessments to the
County for the tax roll. Earlier abatement is not allowed
because the weeds would simply grow back.
MOTION: Councilmember Kaltenbach moved that the hearing be
closed to the public. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Risley and unanimously carried. (5-0)
Councilmember Risley stated that Phylis Dorn had asked him about
the weeds on property next to the street along the Embarcadero
below the bluff near Dorn's. Mr. Nichols stated that he would
look into whether that was the City's responsibility or a
property owner's. Warren Dorn asked that Morro Bay Beautiful be
notified before mowing is done so that they can pick up papers
in abatement areas before they are shredded by the mowing.
No further action was taken.
A-6 CITIZENS REQUEST TO DISCUSS LEASE SITE 93-95W (BANDSTAND -
TED BROWN)
Mr. Henderson reviewed this item and the sequence of events with
regard to Mr. Brown's default on the lease. He noted that the
City is not in a position to recognize subtenants on the lease
without the formal approval on a Consent to Sublease by the
master lessee. He recommended that Council receive testimony
and direct the parties to work with the City Administrator.
Michael Nolan stated that he was an attorney retained to repre-
sent the individuals maintaining that they had a sublease with
Mr. Brown. He stated that he had met with Mrs. Dennis' attorney
and that it had been a promising meeting. He said his main
concern was in removing Mr. Brown from the lease, the City does
not remove the interest of subtenants or the interests of Mrs.
Dennis. He asked Council to direct staff to work with them.
Jody Giannini questioned Council about the liability to the City
with the property in its present condition.
Darlene (Pat) Rodgers stated that she was one of the sublessees
and that they needed some documents that had not been provided
to them. She stated that the City, as landlord, should have
checked Mr. Brown out before letting him in.
MINUTES -MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING -MAY 13, 1985
PAGE EIGHT
Pat Biancardi stated that it was because of the City's position
that many of the people made an investment in the project. He
requested that the City recognize them as sublessees, because
that is the only way they can provide a solution.
Mr. Lesage stated that the City's involvement in the matter was
to sign a master lease. Any sublease has to be in writing and
has to be approved by the City Council. The City is not in a
position to attempt to negotiate until after termination of the
master lease. He cautioned Council against making any statement
about what has or has not been done.
Tom Quintana did not understand how the City could be concerned
with Ted Brown's rights when he has taken $60,000 from the sub-
tenants.
Warren Dorn and Gene Dowdy spoke to the liability issue because
of the condition of the site.
Saheed Keshtgar stated that he had invested a lot of money in
the site and requested Council's assistance.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that the public hearing be
closed. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Kaltenbach and unanimously carried. (5-0)
Mayor Zeuschner stated that he would
support of the City staff to continue
these problems.
like to reaffirm the
cooperation to resolve
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that Council reaffirm their
position that the City Administrator remain available
to work with the individuals towards a resolution of
the problem that does not jeopardize or expose the City
to damages. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Sheetz and unanimously carried. (5-0)
Staff was directed to review the situation at the site from a
City liability standpoint. Mayor Zeuschner asked Mr. Nolan to
contact Mr. Lesage to arrange for a meeting with him and the
City Administrator.
A brief recess was held from 9:06 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.

tion, Harbor and Planning Commissions have been included in the
report to Council. Mr. Nichols reviewed the recommendations and
requested guidance from Council, and then staff will develop the
concept plan for comment.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved that Council approve the
recommendations of the Harbor Commission for design
criteria with the addition suggested by the Planning
Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Kaltenbach.
Councilmember Miller stated that he would like to have some
input into the plan before it is finally approved; he had met
with Mr. Petrillo of the Coastal Conservancy and he had made
several suggestions with regard to the plan. There was discus-
sion regarding Mr. Petrillo's visit to Morro Bay and Jody
Giannini stated that he did not feel that Mr. Petrillo's meeting
with anyone should change the plan as recommended by the Commis-
sion's. Councilmember Miller stated that his suggestions were
more of a safety nature rather than changing anything.
The motion was unanimously carried. (5-0)

Mr. Nichols reviewed this matter and stated that Council had

Bids on the labor portion had come in with Greengo, Inc. as the ·
low bidder in the amount of $124,112. Staff has estimated that
City crews can perform the work more economically by City labor
in the amount of $75,293. The City Administrator was recommend-
ing that Council adopt Resolution No. 36-85 by 4/5ths vote

ment that was occurring in the Kettleman Hills area. Mayor

Council as the Mayors had voted unanimously to urge all cities

explained that Council's direction at their last meeting was for
staff to prepare an ordinance for the Harbor Commission's re-
view. There had been only 4 working days between the Council's
decision and the Harbor Commission meeting which was not enough
time to prepare the ordinance. A proposed ordinance was
scheduled to come before the Commission in June and should be
before Council by their second meeting in June.
Councilmember Risley agreed with Councilmember Kaltenbach that
the process should be speeded up; he felt that the issue was a
City Council function and the Harbor Commission should be
by-passed in this instance and the ordinance brought directly to
Council.
C. Councilmember Miller stated that he would be out of
town at the next Council meeting, May 28th.
D. Councilmember Miller asked about the Peterson sewer
problem and Mr. Multari stated that he would look into the
matter and report back.
E. Councilmember Miller stated that he would like to see a
section in the proposed Harbor Commission ordinance that allowed
people who owned businesses on the Embarcadero to be on the
Commission even if they did not live in the City; he pointed out
that this practice was allowed on another Commission. Council-
member Risley disagreed stating that the only other Commission
which allowed this practice was the Water Advisory Board and
that was because of a suggestion taken from the State regarding
the composition of a citizens advisory committee.

Councilmember Miller stated that he had been receiving calls
about the Harbor Commission and that there is distrust of the
Council regarding who will be appointed to the reorganized
Commission. He suggested that the fishing community be allowed
to select two members, the business community two members and
the Council two members; he felt this would be unbiased. He
also did not feel that the Commission should be paid.
Councilmember Miller felt that some Councilmembers had discussed
and decided on the issue of reorganizing the Harbor Commission
prior to the meeting in violation of the Brown Act. Council-
member Kaltenbach asked him to prove the accusation.
F. Councilmember Risley asked for a report regarding the
item involving the Police Department which is being investigated
by the District Attorney. Mr. Henderson stated that a report
from the DA's office has not been received yet.
