A. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS & APPEARANCES
A-1 PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION NO. 63-86_ESTABLISHING FY 86-87
WATER RATE SCHEDULE INCREASE
Louise Burt reviewed the revised schedule noting increases were
reflected by adding 3 more tiers to the schedule for higher user
categories. Also increased is the availability or hook-up fee
for water from $1 , 500 to $2, 500.
Mr. Napper reminded Council since the City is not allocating any
water under the pipeline replacement program, there will be no
fiscal impact on raising the availability fee. He also stated
staff will bring back an amendment to the Budget at the next
meeting with recommendations for water projects based on in-
creased revenues from extending the water rates tiers for high
user categories.
Councilmember Risley asked how much revenue will be raised from
the expanded rates; Ms. Burt stated approximately $45,000. He
MINUTES - MORRO BA'_ITY COUNCIL —

PAGE 2
also asked how many water users will be affected by the increase
and she stated only 100 - the heavy water users.
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz opened the hearing to the public.
Phil Persons spoke for preference of a City-wide increase. He
said single family residences use the greatest volume of water
and should also pay for the capital projects. Charles Palmer
noted there are high users of water in the single family cate-
gory, and suggested focus on this category of user as well as the
commercial user.
Carl Rock suggested passing the costs of water on to the motels
and restaurants so they can pass it on to tourists visiting Morro
Bay. He also noted the businesses in town get a tax break on
their water and sewer bills because these utilities are necessary
to run their business; there is a 30o IRS business -expense deduc-
tion allowed.
Howard Gaines charged the sewer tax was discriminatory in that it
schedules a special rate for commercial users; he also stated the
City was in violation of Proposition 13 by creating a special
tax.
Grace Melton stated the Water Advisory Committee had made no rec-
ommendation on the rate increase due to a lack of data. Tom
Wuriu of the Water Advisory Committee reminded Council they are
charged with providing services at the lowest possible costs to
the citizens; Morro Bay has one of the highest rates on the Cen-
tral Coastal and one of the lowest income levels.
John Lemons stated the amount of revenue derived from this in-
crease ( $45, 000 ) will not garner much for capital projects. He
felt the increase should be across the board noting some of the
low water users were those who own vacation homes in Morro Bay
who could probably well afford a rate increase.
Ed McCracken stated a number of water meters are old and should
be replaced; the City would probably gain a significant amount of
revenue from correct readings to affect this rate hike.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved the hearing be closed to the
public. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Kaltenbach and unanimously carried. (4-0)
Councilmember Miller felt all should share in the increase and in
the cost of the sewer problems. Councilmember Risley discussed
the lifeline rate for the low water user and the increased rates
for heavy water users to encourage conservation. He stated he is
in favor of the proposed resolution that staff was directed to
prepare.
Mr. Napper explained the City already has a balanced budget with-
out these revenue increases. The increased water rates were to

establish more funds for capital projects; and the increased
sewer rates are to pay for the recent chlorination order by the
EPA.
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz did not consider the proposal necessarily an
increase; it is more of a realignment of the existing schedule by
adding tiers to the schedule.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved for the adoption of Resolu-
tion No. 63-86. The motion was seconded by Council -
member Kaltenbach and unanimously carried by the fol-
lowing roll call vote:
AYES: Kaltenbach, Risley, Sheetz
NOES: Miller
A-2 PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION NO. 64-86 ESTABLISHING FY 86-87
SEWER RATE SCHEDULE INCREASE
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz noted most of the public hearing on this
item had been taken care of during the previous hearing and asked
if there was any further input. Howard Gaines asked a question
regarding a "special rate" in the sewer schedule; Ms. Burt re-
sponded that component had been removed several years ago.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved for the adoption of Resolu-
tion No. 64-86. The motion was seconded by Council -
member Kaltenbach.
It was noted the Resolution needed to be corrected to indicate
the rates are bi-monthly. There was discussion regarding the EPA
order to chlorinate with Councilmember Kaltenbach favoring ignor-
ing the order. Mr. Napper stated Council had approved, along
with the Cayucos Sanitary District Board of Directors, on June
19th to comply with the order.
The motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: Miller, Risley, Sheetz
NOES: None
ABSTAIN: Kaltenbach
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz questioned the propriety of using absten-
tions, and Mr. Napper stated they were generally used for a con-
flict of interest. Councilmember Kaltenbach stated he was ab-
staining from the motion because he did not feel the City should
be required to comply with an order of this nature when it has
not been proven the City is responsible for the pollution.

A-3 PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION NO. 61-86 ADOPTING THE FY 86-87
MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
Mr. Napper explained the schedule reflects the City's actual
costs for the various fee services provided; the fees are not
taxes.
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz opened the matter to the public for com-
ments; there were no comments.
MOTION: Councilmember Kaltenbach moved for the adoption of Res-
olution No. 61-86. The motion was seconded by Coun-
cilmember Risley and unanimously carried. (5-0)
A-4 PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION NO. 62-86 ADOPTING FY 86-87
BUDGET
Mr. Napper reviewed this matter noting this is the first time in
recent years the City will begin the fiscal year with a balanced
budget; there is no annual deficit, but an annual surplus of ap-
proximately $9,600.
Councilmember Kaltenbach stated he had received a comment ques-
tioning the deletion of the City's past contributions to the San
Luis Obispo Narcotics Task Force. Lt. Carpenter said there are 2
other cities in the County not contributing to this program.
Morro Bay Police Department feels the City is not getting the
best amount of service for the dollars they are already con-
tributing to the regional program.
Mr. Napper stated this year's contribution to the Task Force is
$12,000; with the new fiscal year's request, it would raise it to
$21,000. Staff felt this amount might be better spent locally.
Councilmember Miller disagreed with the deletion of this program.
He feels Morro Bay has a problem with narcotics and the program
is definitely needed.
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz opened the matter to the public for
comments.
Robert Lane objected to Council's deletion of the additional
Police Officer.
Charles Palmer, representing Enterprise Engineering, stated he
had presented Council a proposal for a water management plan. He
assumes Council has rejected the proposal since it has not been
included in the FY 86-87 Budget. He criticized the City for the
way they manage their water and sewer systems.
Carl Rock spoke in favor of the police officer position, as did
John Lemons. Mr. Lemons also questioned the amount of money the
Council allocated last year for water capital improvements.

Mr. Napper reviewed some of the water activities the City is in-
volved in, including using general funds to set up reimbursement
of the loan for the water pipeline replacement program.
Mr. Lemons also objected to compensation of the Harbor Commis-
sion; he felt the matter should be on the ballot for the people
to decide.
Warren Dorn also opposed compensation of the Harbor Commission.
MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved the public hearing be
closed. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Risley and unanimously carried. (4-0)
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved for the adoption of Resolu-
tion No. 62-86. The motion was seconded by Council -
member Kaltenbach.
Councilmember Risley stated the budget shows a high level of so-
phistication on the part of staff to arrive at a balance of nu-
merous City needs. He noted the budget contains a number of com-
promises on the part of Council, and stated he did not vote in
favor of the additional police officer at this time because the
department currently has 2 vacancies which have not been filled.
He would like to see how the department operates when they are
fully staffed before approving an additional officer.
Councilmember Miller noted the Police Department is running 3 em-
ployees short right now, and have not had a full complement since
1983. He questioned why the department is unable to hold people
and why they are unable to acquire people.
Councilmember Kaltenbach stated he is in favor of the additional
police officer.
The motion was unanimously carried by roll call vote.

A-5 PUBLIC HEARING ON PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL OF VAR 09-86, A
VARIANCE TO ALLOW A MOBILE HOME AS AN ADDITION TO AN EXIST-
ING NON -CONFORMING RESTAURANT (GENE STANLEY, APPLICANT)
Mr. Multari reviewed this appeal from the Planning Commission's
denial to allow a mobile home as an addition to an existing non-
conforming restaurant. The Planning Commission denied the re-
quest because it violates the policies of the General Plan and
the Local Coastal Program; they also felt it would create an un-
wanted precedent. Mr. Multari noted the applicant has an option
to buy the property, but does not want to invest in permanent im-
provements until he actually purchases the property.
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz opened the hearing to the public; there were
no comments.

Council recessed from 8:56 p.m. to 9:07 p.m.
A-6 WATER RETROFIT STATUS REPORT, AND RECOMMENDATION FOR REMAIN-
DER OF CALENDAR YEAR 1986
Mr. Multari explained the theory of the retrofit program which
allows a building to acquire water equivalencies by retrofitting
existing residences which, in theory, saves water. He stated in
no way should this be viewed as a solution to the City's water
problems; it is another way of conserving water. He explained
the history of the City's program and noted there is insufficient
experience data available at this time to make a determination as
to whether the program actually saves water, although indications
are that it does.
Staff is recommending Council not approve any new applications at
this time, and further analyze data on the current program as it
becomes available. Mr. Multari noted the Planning Commission
adopted the staff recommendation except recommended the City con-
tinue to accept applications until the Measure F limits are
reached. The Water Advisory Committee concurred in the staff
recommendation, but recommended the program be continued into
1987 under the limits of Measure F. They also recommended all
retrofit permits not acted on within 6 months be void.
Councilmember Risley asked about the Water Advisory Committee's
second recommendation to adjust the formulas to maintain a two -
to -one ratio on equivalencies. Mr. Multari explained the Commit-
tee's viewpoint.
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz opened the hearing to the public.
Dale Reddell, Ron Pierce, Grace Melton, Jean Cartwright, John
Lemons, Barbara Sanders, Dan Reddell, and Bob Ward spoke in sup-
port of the retrofit program. Comments were also heard from
Charles Palmer, Carl Rock, Howard Gaines, Ted Lanza, and Nelson
Sullivan. There was discussion regarding the help retrofitting
was providing to those unable to pay for the fixtures themselves;
and comments on how construction in Morro Bay was becoming cost -
prohibitive
MOTION: Councilmember Kaltenbach moved the hearing be closed to
the public. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Risley and unanimously carried. (4-0)
Councilmember Kaltenbach objected to the retrofit program because
it has not been proven it saves water. Councilmember Risley be-
lieved the retrofit program has outlived itself and did not think
any substantial information would be forthcoming in 6 months

time; the program would have to be evaluated for a longer period
of time.
Councilmember Miller was in favor of allowing the 8 applications
currently on file to proceed through the retrofit program.
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz did not favor charging retrofit applicants a
fee on top of having to pay for retrofitting residences. She was
in favor of continuing the program through the end of the calen-
dar year.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved for approval of allowing
retrofit applications under the guidelines of Measure F
for calendar year 1986. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Sheetz and unanimously carried. (4-0)
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved all retrofits not acted upon
within 6 months be void. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Kaltenbach.
There was discussion on the motion as to when the 6-month time -
period begins.
Councilmember Risley amended his to motion include,
starting July 1, 1986. Councilmember Kaltenbach ac-
cepted the amendment and the motion was unanimously
carried. (4-0)
MOTION: Councilmember Kaltenbach moved to put a cap on the
retrofit program for 1 1/2 years. The motion was sec-
onded by Councilmember Risley and failed on the follow-
ing roll call vote:
AYES: Kaltenbach, Risley
NOES: Miller, Sheetz
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz moved to put a cap on the retrofit
program until the end of the year and take a look at it
then. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller.
Mr. Napper asked if the intent of the motion was not to accept
any retrofit applications for 1987 until after December 31, 1986;
Council replied in the affirmative.
The motion was unanimously carried by roll call vote.

TION OF ONSHORE OIL SUPPORT FACILITIES

wording, and whether or not Council wishes to write the argument
in favor of the measure.
Judy Skousen reviewed the ordinance stating she had attempted to
follow the intent of the original initiative, but avoid the legal
problems. She made some technical changes in the initiative for
Council approval.
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz opened the hearing to the public.
Robert Lane felt Council was turning this into a complicated, ex-
pensive procedure, and that the number of findings cited in the
measure just give the oil companies more to attack. Peter
Diffley felt the initiative ordinance was good, however, if Coun-
cil felt the ordinance drafted by the City Attorney would keep
the City out of serious lawsuits, then they should place it on
the ballot.
Howard Gaines felt the will of the people should stand. Warren
Dorn complimented the City Attorney on her drafting of the ordi-
nance and felt it should be used as a model for other cities.
Randy Ruff suggested a sentence be added noting this ordinance
has the same intent as the original initiative.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved to close the public hearing.
The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and
unanimously carried. (4-0)
Councilmember Kaltenbach did not feel it was necessary to place
this ordinance before the people; any ordinance the City adopts
on oil support facilities is going to be challenged in court by
the oil companies.
Councilmember Risley stated he initially thought the initiative
was sufficient, however, after reviewing the draft by the City
Attorney, he feels it should be placed on the ballot.
MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz moved for the adoption of Resolu-
tion No. 59-86. The motion was seconded by Councilmem-
ber Risley and carried on the following roll call vote:

Mr. Napper explained this lease expires on June 30, 1986. The
City Attorney is still in the process of revising the City's Mas-
ter Lease document, and therefore the request is to establish an
interim lease with the existing Lessees, Alvin and Norma Hall.
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz opened the hearing to the public; there were

Mr. Napper stated due to various technicalities, this item has

B-2 RESOLUTION NO. 65-86 REGARDING PUBLIC AMENITIES AND IMPROVE-
MENTS ON CUP, EMBARCADERO INN (BIAGGINI)
Mr. Napper reviewed the complications involved in this develop-
ment; he stated the only remaining issue is the stairway, and the
City is not inclined to accept liability for the stairway. He
stated Mr. Biaggini is willing to bond himself for the view plat-
form costs in the amount of $8,800; pay the parking lot design
fees in the amount of $750; and bond for $6,200 for the stairway.
He has signed a deed restriction for public access on the stair-
way, and his insurance company has agreed to name the City of
Morro Bay as additional insured on his policy.
There was lengthy discussion on this matter, with Councilmember
Risley unwilling to approve the matter until the stairway is ac-
tually built. Ms. Skousen advised Council the deed restriction
was signed, and insuring the City agreed to by the applicant only
on condition that Council approve these items this evening so
that Mr. Biaggini can be issued a occupancy permit. She noted
she has been in contact with the Coastal Commission and it is ac-
ceptable to them to allow Mr. Biaggini to post a bond so long as
the City is in agreement. Mr. Napper stated the bond is 30% over
the actual construction costs.
Sharon Garrett, attorney for Mr. Biaggini, stated the signing of
the deed restriction and agreement to insure the City was given
on condition Mr. Biaggini is allowed to open this week. It is
her opinion the City cannot require Mr. Biaggini to assume lia-
bility of the stairway. If the City does not allow Mr. Biaggini

to open his motel in accordance with the conditions negotiated by
staff, the concessions allowed by Mr. Biaggini will be withdrawn.
There was discussion regarding how soon the stairway could be
built, and Mr. Biaggini stated actual construction takes only
2 to 3 days; however, he does not know how soon he can get a con-
tractor to begin.
MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved Council adopt the conditions
as proposed by staff (Resolution No. 65-86), with an
occupancy permit be issued to the motel including an
estimate from the contractor of the start time of the
stairway construction. The motion was seconded by
Mayor Pro Tem Sheetz; the actual vote was 2-1 -1 , with
Councilmember Kaltenbach voting no, and Councilmember
Risley abstaining. (2-1-1)
There was question as to passage of the motion; the matter was
temporarily tabled to allow research on the subject.
B-3 COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS TO THE TIDELANDS PARK DESIGN COMMITTEE
Mr. Napper advised Council the Harbor Commission has nominated
Jeff O'Dell and Jody Giannini to serve on this committee, and the
Recreation and Parks Commission has selected Jim Hartzel and Bert
Griffen or Paula Daillak; they were not sure Mr. Griffen quali-
fied for the committee based on his ex-officio status.

accepted with Harbor Commissioners Jeff O'Dell and Jody

direct staff to investigate and alleviate the problem of the sand
hump near Lease Site 113W. Mr. Fitzsimmons stated the hump is

ity to correct the problem.

D-13 ESTABLISHMENT OF PUBLIC USE HOURS IN CITY PARKS

he feels they should be open to the public whenever the public

MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved for approval of the staff
recommendation to set the hour of 7:00 a.m. to sunset

B-2 RESOLUTION NO. 65-86 REGARDING PUBLIC AMENITIES AND IMPROVE-
MENTS ON CUP, EMBARCADERO INN (BIAGGINI)
Councilmember Risley stated he had been reminded Council was in
receipt of a letter from Mayor Zeuschner regarding his opinions
on various items on the agenda. On this item, Mayor Zeuschner
indicates he would probably vote in favor, so if Councilmember
Risley abstains, he will just postpone a favorable decision on
the issue, since at that point there will be 3 votes in favor of
the project. He stated Mr. Biaggini has given his public word
that he will build the staircase within a very short period of
time; he was hesitant to vote in favor of the Resolution, because
he feels Mr. Biaggini has tried for a long period of time to
avoid these conditions and was going to continue to try to avoid
them.
The original motion was restated as follows:
MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved Council adopt the conditions
as prepared by staff (Resolution No. 65-86), with an
