1. Mary Phillips said that it had come to her attention

an increase in litigation fees on the contract (between Animal
Regulation) and the City. Mrs. Phillips feels that this item
should not have been on the Consent Calendar section of the
agenda but rather an agendized item for public hearing. She
would like some response concerning this item tonight or agenda
time at some later date.
2. Charles Palmer representing Enterprise Engineering read
a letter to the Council noting Enterprise Engineering's proposal
of June 16, 1986 to formulate a water and sewer management plan
for the City of Morro Bay is withdrawn. Mr. Palmer referred to a
joint meeting between the Morro Bay City Council and the San Luis
City Council concerning water. He said water rights could be
compared to patents and copyrights; the first one there has the
rights and Morro Bay should move quickly to use the water.

PRESENTATIONS
1. 1986 NATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE TROUBLE -SHOOTING TEAM
Mayor Zeuschner read the proclamation and made the presentation
to Robert Ruppert, Frank Rodgers and John Ruppert.
John Ruppert thanked the City Council for the presentation and
reported on the National Automotive Trouble -Shooting Team contest
and how the team first qualified for the State Championship and
then later went on to become National Champions.
2.
CITY OF MORRO BAY'S 22ND ANNIVERSARY
Mayor Zeuschner announced that Morro Bay's first Mayor, Jack
Surfluh was present. Mayor Zeuschner presented Mr. Surfluh with
a Key to the City.
Mr. Surfluh thanked the Mayor for the Key to the City and made a
short speech.
Mayor Zeuschner then recessed the meeting for 5 minutes to allow
everyone to partake of cookies and punch in honor of the City°s
22nd Anniversary.
A. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS & APPEARANCES
A-1 AMENDMENTS TO FY 86-87 CITY BUDGET (WATER AND SEWER FUNDS)
RESOLUTION NO. 73-86
Mr. Napper briefly reviewed the staff report.
Mayor Zeuschner then opened the public hearing.
The following people then came forward to give public testimony:
Carl Rach, Hugo Hemp, Charles Palmer, and Mary Phillips.
One of the questions asked was if the City not has appeal rights
as it was the general feeling that the sewage treatment plant was
not polluting the Bay. Mayor Zeuschner responded to this
question saying that no, we did not have appeal rights. He felt
that the Bay pollution was a combination of things, but the EPA
says the City must chlorinate our water rather than take a
chance. He feels that in about a year or so that it really may
not have much effect.
Mr. Hemp of the Cypress Trailer Park was concerned about an
increase in water rates and wondered if it couldn't be averaged
out as the City is usually concerned about the people on a fixed
income.
MINUTES - MORRO BA: .YITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - JULY 14, 1986

Mr. Palmer expressed concern about the number of boats in the Bay
and the number of people who were living on the boats. He felt
that the raw sewage from the boats could be contributing to the
problem. In response to this concern it was noted that some of
the people living on boats were in county waters, plus there were
52 agencies involved in authority over the Bay.
Mrs. Phillips felt that by our accepting a large percentage of
funds from the EPA for the sewage treatment plant we had set
ourselves up to either do it right or do it their way.
The public hearing section was closed and the matter went back to
Council.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved that the City Council adopt
Resolution No. 73-86; it was seconded by Councilmember
Miller with Councilmember Kaltenbach voting no. Motion
carried (4-1).
In the following discussion it was noted by Councilmember Risley
that most of the discussion regarding this item had taken place
in the past. He mentioned that there were several budget
hearings that were open to the public for input, and stated the
sewer treatment plant is also partly controlled by Cayucos and
the Morro Bay City Council meets periodically with the Cayucos
Sanitary District Board and the problems with the sewer are
thoroughly discussed in those meetings. Councilmember Risley
stated that the EPA, State Health Dept. and the Regional Quality
Control Board had an all day conference in Morro Bay earlier this
year where it was stated Morro Bay sewage should be chlorinated.
After hearing this data, the Engineer from the Quality Control
Board said this data was inaccurate and yet the EPA still gave
the order to chlorinate.
Councilmember Kaltenbach felt we were top heavy with bureaucracy
and totally disagreed with EPA and said that he would vote no on
the item.
A-2 CONSIDERATION OF BEACH STREET SPECIFIC PLAN AND OTHER MINOR
AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE (CASE NO.LCP 02-86 A & B)
RESOLUTION NO. 76-861 AND ORDINANCE NO. 288 - FIRST READING
Mr. Bugher, Acting Community Development Director, reviewed the
changes in the zoning ordinance and gave an overhead presentation
showing the areas being discussed.
Councilmember Sheetz asked if the underground utilities shouldn't
be put in before streets widened and sidewalks put in.
Nick Nichols, Public Works Director, said phase 4 undergrounding
of utilities. Accelerating this part of the project could create
some problems as this might shift the street slightly when
putting in curbing and sidewalks.

Mayor Zeuschner said in adding up the 4 phases he came up with a
$300,000 figure for these improvements and asked if Dave Bugher
could give him a more accurate figure. Dave said he could do so
a little later in the meeting.
Mayor Zeuschner opened the public hearing.
The following people came forward with public testimony: Vern
Ford, Hugo Hemp, Rudy Hester and Delma Smith.
Some of the concerns expressed were with regard to the 90%
parking which might be insufficient for a 28 ft. motor home; the
owner of the Cypress Trailer Park said the Park is divided into
two different zones, R-2 and C-1 , and he wondered if this would
ever be a problem; there are a number of large trucks traveling
around in this area; and some of the homeowners wondered when all
this work might be done.
Mayor Zeuschner said that the State would not allow the City to
stop large trucks from going anywhere in the City. He suggested
speed bumps might be of some help in slowing trucks down in a
residential area. As to the completion time for the project, it
will be a while; possibly 3 or 4 years.
Dave Bugher estimated the changes to cost around $450,000. Nick
Nichols said according to the plan they would need to add 25% and
that would bring the cost to $570,000.
Public hearing closed and the item returned to Council.
Councilmember Risley asked Dave Bugher to describe the process
staff went through to arrive at this point.
Mr. Bugher stated the process began before he came to the City.
He said Mike Multari, the former Community Development Director,
received a request from the Trade Winds Motel for a zone change.
It was decided to prepare a more comprehensive plan rather than
one by one zone changes. Mr. Multari submitted the request to
the Planning Commission and, in September of 1985, they began to
develop a specific plan with a study session and public hearing.
Further analysis of the area was conducted by City staff and
draft plans prepared and submitted to the Planning Commission for
another study session in January through March of 1986. At this
time some ideas were formulated for the specific plan and were
presented to the Planning Commission in June of this year for
their review and analysis, and from that you have the plan
presented tonight.
Councilmember Risley stated that in the end the Planning
Commission unanimously adopted the plan with the exception of the
Bread and Breakfast submittal and deciding not to remove the
trees on Beach street on the bluff.

REGULAR MEETING - JULY 14, 1986

Mayor Zeuschner asked if Council adopted the plan before them
tonight, would it prevent them at a later time from adding items
regarding RV parking, loading zones, bumps, stop signs, etc.
Mr. Bugher said he thought not, as those are minor or technical
changes which could be worked out with staff. He also suggested
they could request those items be added into the plan and staff
could bring the plan back later for Council review.
Mr. Bugher said the Trailer Park is zoned R-2 and C-1 and the C-1
is non -conforming at this time, through oversight or whatever,
but he felt they could take a look at it later on. It does not
effect the operation of the trailer park.
Councilmember Sheetz said the origination of this plan came about
when she was on the Planning Commission and that is why it was
brought up because if the Trade Winds Motel had burned down they
would not have been able to build again without a zone change.
She asked if the R-2 portion of the trailer park were destroyed,
would they be able to operate again?
Dave Bugher said that if they obtained their Conditional Use
Permit, they could continue to operate.
Councilmember Sheetz felt if the plan is to be revised, they
should address the matter of zoning for the trailer park. She
felt it would be better to bring the item back to Council at a
later date after addressing this problem and the problem of RV
parking.
Mayor Zeuschner suggested that a motion to that effect could be
made.
Mr. Napper stated if Council adopted this plan, it does not
obligate them to fund the public improvements. As staff
indicated, it could be done over a phasing period with a number
of alternatives for financing: pay as you go; borrowing; or
assessment fees.
Councilmember Risley stated the problems brought up were
relatively minor considering the scope of the entire plan. He
didn't see any rush to adopt the plan, however the specific plan
was a very impressive piece of work. There was a lot of public
input and he feels the Plan has been adjusted to meet the
criticism of the public. He noted if a plan like this in effect,
the Biaggini motel at the end of the Embarcadero would not be 15
feet above the bluff. This plan does limit the height of the
building below the bluff to the height of the bluff. He feels a
copy of this plan should be sent to the Harbor Commission so they
will get a Harbor Master Plan in motion. He praised the Planning
Commission for getting the document to the Council and praised
staff who had really examined the problems and worked out ways
for Morro Bay to become a better City.

A-3 CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 286 AMENDING THE MORRO BAY
MUNICIPAL CODE TO INCREASE COUNCIL COMPENSATION - FIRST
READING
Mr. Napper reviewed this item stating Councilmembers and the
Mayor receive $150 month compensation which was established in
April 1966, and since that time has not been increased.
The State Legislature adopted Senate Bill 2281 which now allows
general law cities like Morro Bay to increase Councilmembers
compensation without going to a vote of the electorate. Councils
can only do this until the last day of December of this year,
after that time period it will require a vote of the electorate
before Councilmembers' compensation can be increased. The
maximum the compensation can be raised to is $300 a month. This
action would take effect at the end of December and would not
affect this Council as a body. The increase has been included in
this year's fiscal budget, $4,500, to fund this increase if the
Council so desires.
Mayor Zeuschner opened the public hearing.
No public comment was presented.
Councilmember Risley stated this matter had come to Council
before and at that time did not go forward. He felt it should go
on the ballot to be voted on, but would vote yes at this time.
Councilmember Kaltenbach agreed the matter should go on the
ballot, but noted it was too late for the November election; he
would vote no.

A-4 CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 287 AMENDING MORRO BAY
MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROVIDE FOR HARBOR COMMISSION COMPENSATION
- FIRST READING
Mr. Napper noted Council had appropriated money in the FY 86-87
budget for Harbor Commissioners to receive $20 per meeting up to
2 meetings per month, however, the Ordinance for Harbor
Commissioners must be amended before the Commission can receive
the compensation. The Harbor Commission has reviewed and made
the recommendation that Council make this modification and they
have also made a change that would affect the qualifications of
the Harbor Commission, which he explained.
Mayor Zeuschner opened the public hearing.
No public comment was given on this item.
MOTION: Councilmember Kaltenbach made a motion to read by title
and number only, it was seconded by Councilmember
Risley and unanimously carried. (5-0)

A-5 WATER ADVISORY COMMITTEE PRESENTATION REGARDING WATER
CONSERVATION PROGRAM
Mayor Zeuschner introduced Grace Melton, Chairperson of the Water
Advisory Committee. Mrs. Melton explained the Committee's
program to conserve water during the months of July, August and
September. She then introduced Bill Mazzacane, one of the
committee members.
Mr. Mazzacane outlined a 10 point program for the water awareness
program for this summer. He asked that City Council declare
July, August and September as water awareness months; basically
the program was much as outlined last year. He indicated that
with assistance from the Public Works Department, the Sun
Bulletin, and the Motel Association they would distribute news
and tips for water conservation.

Councilmember Miller asked if the Motel Association was involved
in designing the cartoon on some of the material.
Mr. Mazzacane indicated they were not but would try to get their
involvement if some of them did not like the cartoon now in use.
Councilmember Miller also mentioned some billboards he had seen
that were very tastefully designed and had referred them to Grace
Melton hoping they might be able to incorporate them into the
water awareness/conservation plan. He said they would need only
4 or 5 signs to cover the main streets. Grace Melton thought it
was a good idea.
The following people made comments about the water conservation
plans Mr. Lane, Mrs. Phillips, Mr. Rach, Mr. Palmer and Mr.
Hemp. Some of the comments dealt with criticism of increased
motel building while increasing rates, and no real water
conservation planning.
Mr Rach said he had seen water running down the street in f ront
of City Hall every day from the library sprinklers. He is
wondering why drip systems have not been put in. They are so
much more effective and there is no run off or waste.
Reference was made to water management in the City of San Luis
Obispo and it was felt it would produce a considerable amount of
water for them; perhaps not as much for Morro Bay with an
identical plan because we are smaller, but it would produce some
water for Morro Bay.
Mayor Zeuschner said he or Grace Melton or any member of the
Water Advisory Committee would be happy to sit down with any
citizen and explain the program/problems etc.
Councilmember Kaltenbach said the Water Advisory Committee
members put in a lot of time and effort. He felt this City
Council had done more to conserve water than any other City
Council; they had been real involved and cared.
MOTION: Councilmember Kaltenbach moved to adopt the Water
Advisory Committee recommendations; it was seconded by
Councilmember Risley and unanimously passed. (5-0)
Councilmember Risley addressed some of the criticisms and felt
some of it was justified. He stated the City is confronted with
the problem every year, unless it rains at the appropriate time
as it did last year to save us. This could lead to water
rationing or other measures.
Councilmember Sheetz wanted it to go on the record (in response
to some of Mr. Lane's statements) that this City Council was not
responsible for all the motels now being built; some were
approved as much as three years ago. They waited their turn for

A-6 CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 68-86 AMENDING SCHEDULE A OF
LEASE AGREEMENT ON LEASE SITES 57-61/57-61W (MB YACHT CLUB)
Mr. Davis explained the discrepancy in the original billings of
the Morro Bay Yacht Club. These figures have been corrected so
the proper amount is being paid at this time. This corrected
figure is retroactive to January 1 of this year when the Yacht
Club was notified of the error. The money previously lost is not
retrievable, as the Yacht Club paid the amount specified on the
lease.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz made a motion to adopt Resolution
No.68-86. It was seconded by Councilmember Miller and
unanimously carried. (5-0)
B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
B-1 RESOLUTION NO. 70-68 APPROVING TEMPORARY EXTENSION OF
INTERIM LEASE AGREEMENT, A1-4 MOORING ZONE (MB MARINA)
Mr. Davis indicated that a new lease agreement has been completed
by the City Attorney, however, the agreement has not yet been
submitted to the Harbor Commission or Council for review.
Development of the lease took much more time than anticipated, so
an additional interim lease needs to be granted. Mr. Davis
asked for 4 additional months for approval of the new lease.
Councilmember Kaltenbach indicated he could see no reason for an
additional 4 months after the time already granted.
Mr. Davis explained the document was complex and 50 pages long,
so it has taken some time to prepare. Had also tied review of
this document in with some other leases to be reviewed so it
could all be taken care of at once.
Councilmember Kaltenbach also asked about the harbor site
inspections, saying he understood Council would have a completed
report in their hands sometime in the month of June of this year.
Mr. Davis said the last he heard from the lease code inspectors
was they were finalizing their reports at this time, and Mr.
Davis is just waiting for the delivery of the reports which will
then be brought before Council.
MOTION: Councilmember Miller made a motion to extend the lease
for no more than 4 months and adopt Resolution No. 70-

C-1 REFUSE FRANCHISE BOARD REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION ON REFUSE
RATE STRUCTURE
Mr. Nichols gave some statistics on the rate changes and
indicated they had quite a number of applications for one can
service and anticipated more. A program arose as to whether each
residential dwelling unit should be categorized as a residential
unit subject to the appropriate rate. Currently the charges are
tied to the water meters and several buildings have more than one
unit on a water meter. The Refuse Board recommends each dwelling
unit be subject to the residential unit rate.
Councilmember Sheetz asked how many residences were affected by
this. Mr. Nichols said he did not know; the Garbage Company said
there were several, but they do not have a count. He has
requested a count.
Mayor Zeuschner said it made sense to treat on an individual
basis. Mr. Nichols explained that anything over four units was
treated as a commercial service so they were just talking about
duplexes or triplexes.
Mayor Zeuschner asked that staff prepare for next meeting an
amendment which includes the Refuse Franchise Advisory Boards
recommendation on treating each of those dwelling units as a
separate unit.
C-2 REQUEST FROM WATER ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR CHANGE TO BOARD

Mr. Nichols this matter noting the Committee's request for a

Ms. Skousen explained the Bayshore Bluffs Park has not opened
because the contractor has not completed the park. The
developer's bonds were released with the City only keeping 10%,
as the items were so close to completion. The developer ran into
some financial problems and and was unable to complete the items
on the check list. Ms. Skousen explained how the City could
bring suit against the developer and his lending institution and
deflect some of the liability away from the City. She said also
if Council would adopt Resolutions 74-86 and 75-86, the City
could complete as many items as possible with that money.

still waiting for one. He said he had talked with them last week
and indicated he would call on Tuesday to see how they were
coming along.
Councilmember Risley expressed the opinion that in view of his
past history, he probably didn't intend to do it at all.

REGULAR MEETING - JULY 14, 1986

Mr. Napper said he would have to listen to the motion on the tape
to see what the motion actually said. Mr. Napper was not aware
the plans had not been approved. He said the performance bond is
sufficient to cover it, actually it is 150% of the construction
costs and he said by August the City would know what the Coastal
Commission had decided to do on the matter.
Mr. Nichols indicated the plans had been approved in concept, it
was just getting a handrail on the staircase that meets the
building code. The architect had promised to bring over a
drawing and had not done so. Mr. Napper said he would contact
Mr. Biaggini tomorrow and bring a report back to the next
meeting. Mr. Napper said he was hesitant to amend the minutes
until he had actually listened to the tape.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved to adopt item D-1. It was
seconded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously
approved. (5-0)
E. INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 CITY COUNCIL
1. Councilmember Risley asked about lease site inspections
saying there was to have been a report by the end of June.
Mr. Napper said he had no report and it was taking longer than
thought to put their findings down in writing.
Mr. Nichols said it had been about 2 weeks since he had talked
with them, the inspections were completed and they were just
waiting for the reports. He said he would call them in the
morning and find out what their schedule is for submitting them.
2. Councilmember Risley referred to a joint meeting with
the San Luis City Council on the diversion plan and the ability
to use Whale Rock, and indicated that on Thursday they would meet
with the Whale Rock Commission and if all goes well there it will
go to a feasibility study.
Councilmember Risley suggested that they authorize Rose Marie
Sheetz to attend a meeting the Governor is holding on July 31 in
Santa Maria and see if she could get an audience with the
Governor which could include herself, Mayor Zeuschner, the Mayor
of San Luis Obispo and one other San Luis Obispo representative,
Bill Coy from the County, and both cities' Water Engineers and
City Administrators. He feels it would really help the water
situation and since it is an election year the Governor might be
more sensitive to the idea.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley made a motion to authorize Mayor
Pro Tem Rose Marie Sheetz to pursue the matter of
setting up a meeting with the Governor to try and

obtain his support for our water project. It was
seconded by Councilmember Kaltenbach and unanimously
carried. (5-0)
3. Mayor Zeuschner asked Mr. Napper about the question
brought up during the public oral comments section regarding the
status of the contract of the Board of Supervisors Animal Control
Services. Has that contract been signed yet?
Mr. Napper said he didn't know the answer but gave a little
background concerning the contract.
E-2 CITY ADMINISTRATOR
1. Mr. Napper introduced Resolution 80-86, a resolution
endorsing Peoples Self -Help Housing Corporation of San Luis
Obispo County application for funds for the elderly and
handicapped. He explained a bit about the project and said there
were two members of the group in the audience who would be happy
to answer questions.
Following a short discussion among the Council, Mrs. Duncan came
forward to tell them about the project.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved they adopt Resolution 80-86.
It was seconded by Councilmember Risley and unanimously
carried. (5-0)
2. Mr. Napper's second item was a letter he handed to the
Council earlier in the evening, it was addressed to Daniel J.
McCarthy the Director of the State Dept. of Corrections.
The letter outlined some problems that the City of Morro Bay and
City and County of San Luis Obispo are experiencing due to the
overcrowding at the California Mens Colony. Mr. Napper indicated
he had met with the County Administrative Officer, Supv. Bill
Coy, and the Mayor and City Administrator of San Luis Obispo.
They were hoping Morro Bay would send a letter to the California
Dept. of Corrections that while we realize the problem, and do
not like it anymore than they do, there needs to be a limit on
the number of inmates. The letter could include a request for a
commitment to the fact that as soon as they have new prisons, the
California Men's Colony would be among the first to have men
moved to those facilities. Mr. Napper asked for direction from
Council regarding what their action might be to signing this
letter. The letter signing needed Council approval as there is
the possibility of litigation if the Dept. of Corrections does
not take into account the requests in the letter.
Mayor Zeuschner said that if Council approved the letter he would
be happy to sign it.
MOTION: Councilmember Risley moved the Mayor be authorized to
sign a letter as outlined by Mr. Napper. The motion

budget. The request was approved by the Area Council on an 8-1
