1. Jack Curry of Morro Dunes Trailer Park and Campground
referred to the recently -adopted mobilehome and recreational ve-
hicle rent stabilization ordinance. He did not feel recreational
vehicles should be included in the ordinance, and there wasn't a
shortage of RV spaces to require this ordinance. He cited numer-
ous reasons for amending the ordinance, indicating the ordinance
is not fair to the RV business.
2. Larry Smith of Bay Pines Travel Trailer Park agreed
with the comments made by Mr. Curry.
3. Pat Johnson, resident at Bay Pines, disagreed with the
previous comments and noted the need to include RV's in the
ordinance.
4. Daryl Griggs, owner of the Buoy & Gull Trailer Park on
Atascadero Road, stated he is considering doing something else
with his property at that location because the rent stabilization
ordinance will put him out of business.
A. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS & APPEARANCES
A-1 _ORDINANCE NO. 295 ADOPTING TIME EXTENSION TO INTERIM URGENCY
ORDINANCE ON TEMPORARY HOTEL/MOTEL BUILDING MORATORIUM
Bill Farrel reviewed this matter stating the original ordinance
adopted by Council on October 27, 1986 initiating a moratorium on
MINUTES - MORRO BAI CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - DECEMBER 8, 1986
PAGE 2
hotel/motel construction automatically expires 45 days after
adoption. Time extension is allowed for an additional 22 months
and 15 days, for two year total timeperiod to study the issue.
He noted Council had approved a plan of study at their last meet-
ing to revise hotel/motel development standards. This study and
other elements will be prepared during the next few months. He
recommended Council adopt Ordinance No. 295 to extend the morato-
rium period.
Councilmembers discussed the time extension, and expressed con-
cerns about the maximum timeperiod. It was noted by staff Coun-
cil can rescind the ordinance at any time prior to its automatic
expiration date of October 27, 1988. It is anticipated the re-
sults of the Plan of Study will be ready long before that time.
Mayor Reddell opened the matter to the public for comments; no
comments were made.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved the public hearing be
closed. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Miller and unanimously carried. (5-0)
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved Ordinance No. 295 be read by
title and number only. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Lemons and unanimously carried. (5-0)
Mr. Napper read Ordinance No. 295 by title and number.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved for the adoption of Ordi-
nance No. 295 as an urgency measure. The motion was
seconded by Councilmember Lemons and unanimously
carried. (5-0)
A-2 ORDINANCE MODIFYING RECREATION AND PARKS COMMISSION - FIRST
READING
Mr. Napper reviewed the proposed changes to the Recreation and
Parks Commission ordinance. These changes would delete the 2 ex-
officio members from the Commission and reduce the 2 joint meet-
ings between City Council and the Commission to one annual meet-
ing. He noted the Recreation and Parks Commission prefer to keep
the ex-officio members, but support one annual joint meeting.
Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public; there were no
comments.
MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved the public hearing be
closed. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Odell
and unanimously carried. (5-0)
Councilmember Miller was in favor of leaving the ordinance as it
stands. There was discussion regarding the ex-officio members
and their status. Mr. Napper stated they are non -voting members,
one representing youth and one representing seniors.

MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved the ordinance be read by ti-
tle and number only. The motion was seconded by Mayor
Reddell.
Mayor Reddell was in favor of the ordinance stating it stream-
lines the Commission. Councilmember Lemons noted the Commis-
sion's preference to retain the ex-officio members and believed
the input by these members is valuable to the Commission. He
commented that low attendance by these members can be corrected
by making their appointment terminate for too many missed
meetings.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved discussion on this item
cease. The motion failed, with Councilmembers Lemons,
Miller, Odell, and Mayor Reddell voting no. (1-4)
There was further discussion with staff noting frequent absences
of ex-officio members. Council felt the limited absence clause
that applies to Commissioners should be applied to ex-officio
Commissioners as well. Councilmember Miller expressed sentiments
to keep the ordinance as is.
The motion to read the ordinance by title and number
only failed, with Councilmembers Lemons, Miller, Odell,
and Mayor Reddell voting no. (1-4)
Council decided to retain the existing ordinance as written not-
ing the second meeting per year can be canceled if there is not
enough business to discuss.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT REPORT FOR COMMUNITY CENTER
Mr. Wolter stated the proposed Community Center is a 16,500 to
19,000 square foot building; approximately $1,044,000 has been
appropriated and acquired for its construction. He reviewed the
process the Citizens Advisory Committee followed in developing
the Design Development Report in conjunction with consultant
Recreation Systems, Inc., and architects Hall, Hurly, and
Deutsch. He also noted plans to realign Kennedy Way, Dunes and
Shasta to accommodate the Center and better traffic circulation
in the area.
Gerald Hurly of Hall, Hurly, Deutsch, Architects, reviewed the
site plan in detail.
Councilmembers asked various questions; Mayor Reddell was con-
cerned the size of the auditorium was not large enough, and felt
consideration of an elevator should be included in the Plan. He
also asked if building maintenance and operating cost projections
had been made, and whether adoption of the design sets it is con-
crete. Mr. Wolter indicated a maintenance cost program will be
done in precise plan stages; and, if the DDR was adopted

tonight, minor changes could be accommodated but dramatic changes
would require review.
Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public. Imogene Haidet,
President of the Senior Citizens, Inc., stated they were very ex-
cited about the Community Center; she noted it will serve all
ages of the community.
MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved the hearing be closed. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Lemons and unani-
mously carried. (5-0)
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved for adoption of Resolution
No. 124-86 approving the Design Development Report and
Master Plan for the Morro Bay Community Center. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Sheetz and unani-
mously carried. (5-0).
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved the City Administrator be
directed to write a letter to the Citizens Advisory
Committee expressing Council's appreciation for their
work on this project. The motion was seconded by Coun-
cilmember Sheetz and unanimously carried. (5-0)
Councilmember Miller requested the Citizens Advisory Committee be
asked to consider the need of an elevator in the Center; Mr.
Napper indicated he would incorporate that request in his letter
to the Committee.
A-4 STATUS REPORT REGARDING FY 86-87 PARTNERS PROGRAM
Mr. Wolter noted Council, in March of 1986, adopted a $.25 cost
recovery ration for the PARTNERS program. This helped offset the
costs of the program and provided a control measure by register-
ing each child. He reviewed the history of PARTNERS, and noted
the fee has not hindered the program enrollment.
Mr. Wolter explained new changes in State license laws for child-
care programs require additional site restriction controls, and
City liability concerns. He said using school facilities would
provide an exemption from these controls and staff intends to
work with the School District to this end.
Council asked various questions to which Mr. Wolter responded.
Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public.
Bea Rohan asked how many Del Mar children attended the PARTNERS
program, and Mr. Wolter said few, if any. Most children in north
Morro Bay are bused directly home after school. Imogene Haidet
suggested getting seniors interested in working with the
children.

79W FROM RONALD L. MEYERS (ZEKE'S WHARF) TO CLE, WILLIAM,
STAN AND PAUL VAN BEURDEN
Alan Davis reviewed the request to assign this lease and noted
the qualifications of the Van Beurdens to accept the assignment.
He recommended the new Lessees be required to accept responsibil-
ity of code repairs within remaining timeframes. The Van
Beurdens will also honor the existing sublease with Nellie

rent lessee, stated he was present to answer any questions.

mously carried. (5-0)

C-2 WATER _ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION_ REGARDING RETROFIT
INSPECTION SERVICES
Mr. Nichols stated the Water Advisory Board recommends Council
direct the Community Development Department to consider allowing
a licensed architect, engineer, or plumbing contractor make
retrofit inspections if an owner requests it. The Board feels
many homeowners in Morro Bay do not have their homes retrofitted
because when the City's building inspector inspects the fittings,
he may discover other code violations and cite the homeowner to
make corrections. Mr. Nichols stated the inspector has not re-
turned on any items not related to retrofitting, and staff recom-
mends the inspection remain with City staff. They suggested
Council direct the Community Development Department representa-
tives attend a Water Advisory Board meeting to inform them of
their procedures in this area.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved Council refer the matter
back to the Water Advisory Board, and direct the Plan-
ning Director and Building Inspector attend a Water Ad-
visory Board meeting to discuss their concerns regard-
ing the procedure. The motion was seconded by Mayor
Reddell and unanimously carried. (5-0)
C-3 APPROPRIATION OF HARBOR FUND CONTINGENCY MONIES FOR CITY -WA-
TERFRONT HOSE BIBS
Alan Davis said during recent inspection of lease sites for code
violations, it was pointed out the City should implement require-
ments to install its own spring -loaded hose bibs on City water
services. It has been determined 32 hose bibs need to be

purchased for a cost of $1,100 for materials only. Harbor Patrol
staff can install the items as time is available.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved Council allocate $1,100 from
FY 86-87 Harbor Fund Contingency to purchase 32 spring -
loaded hose bibs for City waterfront facilities. The
motion was seconded by Councilmember Lemons and unani-
mously carried. (5-0)
C-4 ACCEPTANCE OF TV FRANCHISE AND SERVICES BOARD RESIGNATIONS
(BONDS; MURPHY) �-
Mr. Napper noted the resignations and suggested Council consider
appointing a Utility Franchise Board to encompass both TV Fran-
chise and Refuse Franchise utilities. If Council is so inclined,
this would be an opportune time to restructure considering the
resignations and expiration of terms December 31st.
He noted Council was in receipt of communication from the Refuse
Franchise Board objecting to the consolidation, and Mr. Napper
outlined their viewpoints.
Councilmember Lemons was not in favor of the combining of the
Boards; some of those on the Refuse Board may have no interest in
the TV Board. Councilmember Odell agreed, stating two of the
largest complaints he heard while campaigning were about the
garbage company and cable tv. Mayor Reddell and Councilmember
Sheetz discussed economies of scale that might be realized by
consolidation.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved Council accept the resigna-
tions on the TV Franchise Services Board, and staff be
directed to advertise the vacancies. The motion was
seconded by Councilmember Odell and carried, with Coun-
cilmember Sheetz and Mayor Reddell voting no. (3-2)
C-5
SET DATE TO INTERVIEW APPLICANTS FOR ADVISORY BOARD
PngTTTnNS
Mr. Napper reviewed the vacancies that will routinely occur on
various City boards and commissions effective December 31st, as
well as vacancies due to resignations. Staff is in the process
of advertising for these positions and he requested Council con-
sider setting December 29th and/or December 30th to interview
applicants.
Councilmember Lemons asked Council to consider amending the Har-
bor Commission ordinance to delete their compensation, and re-
quested staff prepare an ordinance similar to the one in effect
before the Harbor Commission was reorganized. He preferred the
appointments to be made based on categories, ie. commercial fish-
ing, leaseholders, yacht club, fish processing, etc., and the
Commission status should be returned to that of an advisory
board. In light of these changes, he also recommended vacating

the present Harbor Commission and not advertising for or filling
the positions until an amended ordinance has been approved.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved staff be directed to prepare
an ordinance amendment reinstating a Harbor Advisory
Board similar to the way it was before the present or-
dinance became effective; and, the present Harbor Com-
mission be vacated and positions not advertised for or
filled until such time as that ordinance is adopted or
not adopted. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Miller.
Councilmember Miller stated he had not been in favor of adopting
the current ordinance when it was presented; he did not believe
Commissions should be paid. He noted complaints he had received
about the current Harbor Commission, and agreed they should be an
advisory body only. Councilmember Odell suggested "marine biolo-
gist" be a category represented on the Commission, and questioned
the difference between a Harbor Commission and a Planning Commis-
sion. Councilmember Lemons responded a Planning Commission has
statutory duties imposed by law; a Harbor Commission is advisory
only.
There was considerable discussion concerning this matter. It was
noted Council did not wish to reinstitute the alternate member
phase of the old ordinance. Mayor Reddell objected to Commission
involvement in leases, and their members addressing Council on
behalf of personal viewpoints on an issue when a majority commis-
sion recommendation has already been forwarded to Council. Ms.
Skousen stated this is a gray area and Council could establish
guidelines by resolution. Mr. Napper stated staff is in the pro-
cess of preparing a handbook for advisory boards and City
Council.
Councilmember Lemons called for the question, and discussion
ended on a 5-0 vote.
The motion carried, with Councilmembers Odell and
Sheetz voting no. (3-2)
Councilmember Miller suggested the Harbor Commission still be el-
igible for reimbursement of expenses for City business to the
amount budgeted; Council concurred.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved Council set December 29,
1986 at 3:30 p.m. in the City Hall Conference Room to
interview applicants for City boards and commissions.
The motion was seconded by Mayor Reddell and unani-
mously carried. (5-0)

E. INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION
E-1 CITY COUNCIL
a. Councilmember Miller suggested Mayor Reddell declare
Friday, December 26th, a holiday allowing City employees the day
after Christmas off with pay. Councilmembers discussed this and
concurred in the recommendation noting their action is not in-
tended to set a precedent, but is allowed this year because
Christmas falls on a Thursday.
MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved Council declare the day af-
ter Christmas (December 26th) a City Holiday to allow
City employees a 4-day weekend. The motion was sec-
onded by Mayor Reddell and unanimously carried. (5-0)
b. Mayor Reddell noted this is the last meeting Council
will be able to bring items up under Individual Determination for
action, due to -a new law going into effect January 1st that pro-
hibits such. The new law amends the Brown Act and requires any
items acted upon by Council to be noticed in an agenda at least
72 hours prior to Council action. Councilmember Miller asked how
Council would respond to Oral Communications from the public.
Mr. Napper stated staff is preparing a report to Council on this
new legislation; he indicated Council will have to request staff
to schedule any item on which they wish to discuss or take action
for their next agenda.
C. Mayor Reddell noted Jack Curry's request for amendment
to the mobilehome and recreational vehicle park rent stabiliza-
tion ordinance. Councilmembers discussed this matter with Coun-

rent control apply only to domiciles. The motion was
seconded by Councilmember Sheetz.
There was discussed regarding the legal definition of domicile.
Council agreed the domicile definition should apply to both mo-
bilehomes and recreational vehicles. Mr. Napper noted the cur-
rent ordinance still goes into effect December 24th; the amended
ordinance will be presented at Council's January 12th meeting for
first reading.
The motion was unanimously carried. (5-0)
d. Councilmember Odell provided Councilmembers with copies
of an article from a Coastal Conservancy publication, Waterfront
Age. He noted his efforts to bring the public into the the con-
ceptual design development process of City projects, and the ar-
ticle illustrates help offered through the Coastal Conservancy
with technical assistance.
e. Councilmember Lemons stated he did not believe a recent
ordinance increasing Council salaries should have been adopted by
Council, but should have been presented to the people to vote on
the matter.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved staff be directed to prepare
an ordinance amendment returning Council salaries to
$150 per month, rather than $300 per month. The mo-
tion was seconded by Mayor Reddell.
Councilmember Miller was not in favor of the motion; he stated
Council salaries had not been increased since incorporation, and
noted the amount of travel to meetings involved in being a coun-
cilmember. Councilmember Lemons stated if Council had placed the
matter on the ballot, he felt certain the people would have ap-
proved it; however, Council didn't even appoint a Blue -Ribbon
Committee to analyze it, and he objected to one increasing one's
own pay.
The motion failed with Councilmembers Miller, Odell and
Sheetz voting no. (2-3)
f. Mayor Reddell stated he would like to see a street com-
mission formed of 5 people to work with the Engineering Depart-
ment to look at streets and traffic control. He suggested it be
an advisory board initially.
