He reviewed the permit approvals necessary and the findings to support those approvals. Jerry Hurley, of Hall, Hurley, and Deutsch, architects for the project, reviewed the site and floor concept plans of the pro- posed Community Center. Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public for comments. Imogene Haidet, President of the Morro Bay Senior Citizens, noted how proud the seniors are of the this project. MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 3 As there were no other comments, Mayor Reddell closed the hearing to the public. MOTION: Councilmember Odell moved for the adoption of Resolu- tion No. 33-87 announcing findings and approving a CUP, CDP, and Variance for the new Community Center. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unani- mously carried. (4-0) B-2 PUBLIC HEARING ON CUP 01-87/CDP 05-87 0 MORRO BAY YACHT CLUB DRY STORAGE YARD AT 51O EMBARCADERO, RESOLUTION NO. 32-87 Bill Farrel reviewed the proposal by the Yacht Club to enclose a small area on their site for an outdoor boat storage use, and the Planning Commission's approval with conditions on the permit. Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public for comments. Bill Troutner, Vice Commodore, of the Morro Bay Yacht Club volun- teered to answer any questions Council might have about the project. Mayor Reddell closed the hearing to the public. Council briefly noted Condition 13 placing a 2 year time limit on the permit, a condition the City Administrator had recommended Council eliminate. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved for adoption of Resolution No. 32-87 with elimination of Condition No. 13. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller. Mayor Reddell indicated he favored a black vinyl chain link fence as opposed to the color green. The motion was unanimously carried. (4-0) B-3 PUBLIC HEARING ON SEWER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN DRAFT Mr. Nichols reviewed the Sewer System Master Plan Draft prepared by CH2M Hill, Inc. which is a study of the Morro Bay sewer col- lection system and formulates projections for future planning of the infrastructure referencing Morro Bay's General Plan, Housing Element, and Local Coastal Plan. Council discussed various aspects of the Plan; Mayor Reddell asked about costs of implementing the Plan, and Mr. Nichols stated an adequate maintenance system would cost $419,000 per year. However, Mr. Nichols added that adoption of the Plan does not obligate the City to commit funding. Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public; there were no comments and the hearing was closed. MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 4 Councilmember Miller asked about Cayucos' involvement in this Plan, and Mr. Nichols stated they are not involved as the sewer collection system is owned 100% by the City. MOTION: Councilmember Odell moved for the adoption of Resolu- tion No. 22-87. The motion was seconded by Councilmem- ber Lemons and unanimously carried. (4-0) Mayor Reddell suggested study sessions be set before the 1987 budget sessions to further review this Plan in more detail. B-4 DECLARATION_ OF EMERGENCY FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT TO ELENA WATER BOOSTER_ STATION, RESOLUTION NO._31-87 AUTHORIZING RE- PLACEMENT OF PUMPS Mr. Nichols explained the two booster pumps at the Elena Street station are unable to transfer enough water to the new higher -el- evated Nutmeg water tank to keep it filled; the problem will be aggravated during warmer weather when it is even more imperative to maintain maximum storage. He requested Council waive the com- petitive bid procedure to replace the booster pumps by determin- ing an emergency exists caused by an inability to adequately store water. He said Floyd V. Wells, Inc. is able to obtain and install the new pumps within three weeks of direction to proceed; cost will be $33,614 and sufficient monies are budgeted. He rec- ommended Council adopt Resolution No. 31-87 by 4/5ths vote. Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public; there were no comments and the hearing was closed. MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved for the adoption of Resolu- tion No. 31-87. The motion was seconded by Councilmem- ber Odell and unanimously carried. (4-0) C. UNFINISHED BUSINESS C-1 APPOINTMENT OF SENIOR -SERVING AND YOUTH -SERVING _ COMMISSION- _.. ____._.____.. ____.-._m___._..._ ERS TO RECREATION AND PARK COMMISSION Mr. Napper stated Council recently revised the Recreation and Parks Commission to a 7-voting member Commission. He noted there were 2 Commissioners recently appointed to the prior ex-officio status on the commission and it would be appropriate for Council to appoint these ex-officio members to full Commissioner status. These are Geoff Moreland appointed for youth interests, and Robert Meyers appointed for senior interests. MOTION: Councilmember Odell moved Council appoint Geoff More- land and Robert Meyers to the Recreation and Parks Com- mission as full Commissioners. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and carried, with Councilmember Lemons abstaining. (3-0-1) MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 5 Councilmember Lemons stated he had not been present when the in- dividuals were interviewed, so declined to vote for appointment. C- PROPOSED ACTION_ PLAN OF _STUDY UNDER INTERIM URGENCY ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 301 ("VRM" AND ADJOINING PROPERTIES) Councilmember Lemons asked if Mr. Brewer, a representative of the "VRM" interests, had been advised of this meeting. Mr. Farrel stated he had. Mr. Farrel stated as with past ordinances enacted under urgency measures to prohibit construction or a type of construction while zoning is being studied, this ordinance requires review within a 45 day period before granting time extension. Following review and adoption of a study plan, Council is allowed to extend the ordinance for up to a total maximum time of 2 years. During that period, Council must implement the Plan of Study to evaluate the best uses for this property. He reviewed staff recommendations for this Plan of Study. Councilmember Odell suggested staff use the workshop -type meet- ings conducted for the North Main Street plan for developing uses for this property. Mayor Reddell stated he is meeting Monday, March 16th, with the State Parks Director, Bill Briner, to discuss the State's title interest in this property. He noted the people operating Abalone Unlimited on the Embarcadero are interested in developing a fa- cility on the "VRM" property. Mr. Farrel stated he would be in- terested in finding out what the State intends to do with the property if they acquire it. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved Council approve the Plan of Study as submitted, and instruct staff to prepare the necessary time extension to the Urgency Ordinance for purposes of accomplishing the Study. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Odell and unanimously carried. (4-0) C-3 REPORT ON REFUSE _FRANCHISE _BOARD'S AND _CABLE TV BOARD'S CON- SIDERATIONS OF U A TILITIES FRANCHISE BOARD Mr. Napper reviewed the Boards' consideration of a combined Util- ities Franchise Board. He believed they basically were inter- ested in serving only on their respective boards. He suggested if Council concurred, they appoint Richard McCarty to the Refuse Board, and readvertise for the remaining 2 vacancies on each of the Boards. Mr. McCarty was the only applicant for the Refuse Board during the last recruitment and has previously served on this Board. Councilmember Lemons suggested amending the TV Franchise Board Ordinance so that 3 to 5 members constitutes a Board. There was MINUTES - MORRO BF I CITY COUNCIL ADJOURNED REGULAR ,�ETING - MAY 26, 1987 PAGE 10 Council consensus was for staff to develop various ideas, and then prepare draft ordinances for Planning Commission review for final recommendations to Council. C-3 PROGRESS REPORT ON STUDY OF ZONING AND USE OF VRM AND AD- JOINING PROPERTIES (INTERIM —ORDINANCE NO. 301) Mr. Farrel, Planning Director, reviewed the progress on the Plan of Study for this property, and process to be carried during the development of the Study. He proposed a five -stage process in- volving citizen input throughout, and the retention of a consul- tant (Jo Duthie) for $8,000 to conduct the Study. Mayor Reddell opened the item to public hearing. Mr. Brewer, representing the VRM property interests, presented his concerns and requests at this time. It was his position the City Council and staff had previously agreed that his project ap- plication could be received and process short of approval. Mr. Hertz, legal counsel representing Mr. Brewer, expressed their viewpoint that Departmental review and public comment can take place on their project submittal for the "VRM property" as a "pre -vote" process. A lengthy discussion followed between Council and the applicant. There was disagreement on interpretation of some of the past ac- tions and comments by Council up to this point, and some of the expectations of the applicant that Council reaffirmed were not possible at this point. Mr. Brewer asserted their application could be processed as the Council had agreed upon in an earlier meeting. Council and staff believed they had not agreed to Mr. Brewer's going ahead with application, but rather wanted to wait until this study was completed to determine what uses the land might allow. Councilmember Lemons indicated he welcomed Mr. Brewer's input, but that he had no understanding Mr. Brewer could reach the stage of the City telling Mr. Brewer what or what not may be approved for the lands. Judy Skousen commented, that was her understanding also, but the City does need to examine how far and in what pro- cess Mr. Brewer can go. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved Council accept the staff re- port and recommendation to authorize retention of Jo Duthie as the consultant on this study, and allocate $8,000 from General Fund Contingencies for the planning project. The motion was seconded by Mayor Reddell. (4-0) MINUTES - MORRO BAI CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 6 discussion; Mr. Napper pointed out under this situation, Council could have 2 people recommending policy to Council. Mayor Reddell was in favor of combining the boards; the current boards could be disbanded and the new combined board advertised for applicants. Other Councilmembers were in favor of leaving the Boards as presently constituted. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved staff be directed to revise the ordinance on the TV Franchise Board to reduce the required size of the board, and retain separate iden- tify of the two Boards. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and carried, with Mayor Reddell voting no. ( 3-0-1 ) MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved Richard McCarty be appointed to the Refuse Franchise Board. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) C-4 RESOLUTION NO. _2(P-87 ADOPTING -A WATER EQUIVALENCY PROGRAM FOR 1987 AND SETTING THE ANNUALLIMITSON 1987 NEW RESIDEN- TIAL UNITS Mayor Reddell vacated the Chair because of a conflict of interest in this subject; Mayor Pro Tem Miller presided. Mr. Napper reviewed the proposed Resolution and stated it was prepared pursuant to Council action on March 4th. Although Coun- cilmember Miller was absent from that meeting, if he has read the staff report and minutes from that meeting he may vote on the matter. Mayor Pro Tem Miller stated he has read the information and be- lieves himself qualified to vote in favor of the Resolution. Councilmember Lemons asked why water equivalency projects are presented to the Planning Commission and not approved administra- tively in accordance with the Ordinance. Mr. Napper stated that procedure was probably started when the program was new in an ef- fort to inform the Commission on the activities involving award- ing water equivalencies. Councilmember Lemons felt the procedure should cease unless re- quired by ordinance; it would eliminate one step in an already long process. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved to direct staff it is Coun- cil intention this is an unnecessary procedure and should be an administrative function of the Community Development Department. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Odell and carried, with Mayor Reddell ab- staining. (3-0-1) MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 7 Mr. Napper stated staff would review applicable City Codes; if there is nothing in the Code requiring Planning Commission re- view, staff will so inform the Commission of Council's desire. If otherwise, he will report back to Council. MOTION: Councilmember Odell moved for the adoption of Resolu- tion No. 24-87. The motion was seconded by Councilmem- ber Lemons and carried, with Mayor Reddell abstaining. ( 3-0-1 ) Mayor Pro Tem Miller called a recess at 8:45 p.m.; Mayor Reddell resumed the Chair at 8:55 p.m. D. NEW BUSINESS D-1 RESOLUTION NO. 27-87_APPROVING ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE SITE 129W-133W (DBA PACIFIC SHELLFISH) TO GUGGIA_ENTERPRISES Alan Davis reviewed the historical problems associated with this site and City attempts to resolve them. At this time, a lending institution is in possession of the lease site and is requesting City approval of assigning the lease to Guggia Enterprises. Mr. Davis reviewed the proposed lease to Guggia Enterprises. Councilmember Miller asked if there was anyone else interested in this lease site; and Mr. Davis stated not at this time. Coun- cilmember Miller favored putting out the site to public bid; he maintained the Guggia's did not take care of violations on the site when they were previously in possession of it. Comments were heard from Jim Moore and Milt Guggia representing Guggia Enterprises. Mr. Guggia stated although they received ap- proval from the City for assignment of the lease, they were never in legal possession of the site; escrow never closed because of problems with the Yeomans. They did help out on the site to keep the business going for a period of time. Councilmember Lemons questioned whether Section 13.07 of the lease prevented the lease holders from selling fish to themselves at a very low rate, and thus circumvent the City from making a fair percentage on these fish sales. There was discussion on this matter, with City Attorney Judy Skousen agreeing with Coun- cilmember Lemons and suggesting she reinforce the language in that section. Council instructed the City Attorney to revise Section 13.07; and, if concurred by the Guggia's, the revision would be included in the final master lease for the site. If the Guggia's do not agree with the City Attorney language, the matter will return to Council for policy guidance. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved for approval of Resolution No. 27-87, subject to the appropriate modification to MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 8 Section 13.07 of the lease. Councilmember Odell and Miller voting no. (3-1) The motion was seconded by carried with Councilmember D-2 RESOLUTION NO. 25-87 OPPOSING THE LATEST DEPARTMENT OF -INTE- RIOR'S PROPOSED _5-YEAR OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF LEASING PRO- GRAM FOR 1 9 8 7 -1 9 9 2 � Mr. Napper stated the Resolution was prepared at the request of Councilmember Sheetz; it opposes the latest 5-Year Outer Conti- nental Shelf Leasing Program by the Secretary of Interior. Councilmember Odell suggested two paragraphs be added to the Resolution: "WHEREAS, Morro Bay estuary and wetlands represent a unique resource on the California coast, per Section IV, page 4, and the sandspit and 10 miles of sandy beach represents a unique coastal feature and habitat that is more sensitive to oil pollution and less capable of recovery than rocky coastline; and "WHEREAS, Morro Bay estuary, wetlands, area dunes, sandy beaches and coastal waters support and provide habitat for 3 en- dangered species and many threatened and/or federally protected species." Councilmember Odell stated he is attempting to obtain an exact number of the endangered species and would like to insert that at a later date. MOTION: Councilmember Odell moved for adoption of Resolution No. 25-87 with the suggested additions. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Lemons and unanimously carried. (4-0) D-3 _R_EQUEST_B_Y PEOPLES' SELF-HELP _HOUSING CORPORATION FOR CITY ASSURANCES— OF WATER EQUIVALENCIES_ FOR PROPOSED 40-UNIT PUBLICLY -FUNDED SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT__ Mr. Farrel reviewed the proposal by PSHHC to build affordable housing the Texaco property on North Main Street. They have re- quested assurances from the City for adequate water when they be- gin construction in 1988, an item required before HUD will ap- prove the project for financing. He discussed various questions for Council consideration regarding water equivalencies and sug- gestions for dealing with these considerations. Mike Multari, serving on the Board of Directors for PSHHC, en- couraged Council to support the assurances needed to move the project forward. Jeanette Duncan, Executive Director of PSHHC, reviewed the process thus far to acquire the property and submit a package to HUD to obtain financing. HUD must be assured of ad- equate public services before they will go forward. MINUTES - MORRO BAY 'CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 9 Councilmember Miller asked how PSHHC decides who will occupy the housing units. Ms. Duncan stated it is done by lottery; they are governed by federal law and cannot discriminate in awarding units. They do, however, attempt to concentrate their advertis- ing locally. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved staff be instructed to draft a Resolution assuring PSHHC that when they are ready for construction in 1988, the necessary water equiva- lencies for the first 40 unit project will be made available. The motion was seconded by Mayor Reddell and unanimously carried by roll call vote. (4-0) D-4 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE N_ IMPACT REPORT ON MORRO BAY COMMU- ITY CENTER, AND EVALUATION OF PROJECT FINANCING ALTERNA- TIVES - Steve Wolter reviewed the Maintenance Impact Statement which in- cludes the services and supplies needed to maintain the Community Center once constructed; the estimate is $173,035 annually. Louise Burt reviewed a Community Center Financing Plan. The es- timated construction cost of the Center is $2,455,000; currently on -hand for construction is $1,160,681 leaving $1,294,319 to be funded. She explained financing by Certificates of Participation and outlined the options available recommending Council approval of C.O.P.'s with a life of 10-15 years. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved for approval of the Mainte- nance Impact Report, and the proposed funding scheme in concept. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) HE DISCUSSION OF COUNCIL MEETING PROCEDURES AND POLICIES Councilmember Lemons discussed his suggestions for streamlining Council meetings: 1) he suggested meetings begin at 6:00 p.m.; 2) Council adjourn at 11:00 p.m. except for closed sessions; 3) one extra meeting time be set aside each month to complete busi- ness if necessary; and 4) adopt a policy to receive staff reports for a Council meeting at least 10 days ahead of time. Council discussed holding meetings on Tuesday to give them one additional day to study agenda material. Councilmember Lemons stated the Sun -Bulletin's copy deadline is Tuesday; if Council meetings are held that evening, citizens will be getting week-old news. Councilmember Miller said he was in favor of starting meetings at 6:00 e.m.. but was not sure about the other suggestions. MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved Councilmember Lemons be thanked for his proposal, but Council turn it down and MINUTES - MORRO BAY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 10 remain as we are. The motion was seconded by Coun- cilmember Odell for purposes of discussion. There was considerable discussion regarding the proposals. Councilmember Odell rescinded his second to the motion; the motion died for lack of a second. MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved staff be directed to prepare an amendment to the ordinance to change the starting time of Council meetings to 6:00 p.m. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried.
