Mayor Reddell requested Item A-9 be pulled from the agenda and considered under New Business. MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved for the approval of the Con- sent Calendar as recommended and amended by the City Administrator, except for Item A-9. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) B. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS & APPEARANCES B-1 PUBLIC HEARING ON CONVENIENCE _OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION LICENSE FOR TAXI CAB OPERATION (ASHMAN, APPLICANT) Mr. Napper stated the Police Department has reviewed Mr. Ashman's application to operate a taxicab service in the City. Staff does not believe there is a conflict with the City's Dial -a -Ride oper- MINUTES - MORRO BA_ CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARY 11, 1987 PAGE 4 ation since the taxi service will cost considerably more than Dial -a -Ride, and it provides transportation on a 24-hour basis, making it available when Dial -a -Ride is not operational. He noted the suggestion by the City's risk management insurance agent to require $1 million auto liability insurance naming the City as additional insured. Councilmember Miller asked what in- surance limits are provided by Dial -a -Ride and required in the Code for taxicab? Mr. Nichols responded that Dial -a -Ride pro- vides $1,000,000/$5,000,000; Mr. Napper indicated the Municipal Code suggests $100,000 for taxicab operations, but the Code also permits Council to raise the limits. He suggested Council con- sider amending the Resolution to allow the insurance requirements be approved by the City Administrator; Councilmember Miller re- marked it is the job of the Council, not the Administrator, to decide this issue. Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public. Al Ashman, ap- plicant, stated he was having difficulty obtaining the $1 million insurance. He had located a firm to provide him with this amount; however, he believes it will be a very expensive policy. He suggested Council lower the amount required to $200,000. MOTION® Councilmember Sheetz moved the hearing be closed to the public. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) Councilmember Sheetz asked what the jeopardy would be to the City if we require less than $1 million insurance. Judy Skousen stated $100,000 or $200,000 would not begin to cover the types of lawsuits initiated and awarded today. Councilmember Miller questioned why the City doesn't require in- surance on all businesses licensed through the City. Ms. Skousen stated the business license is a tax and the City doesn't regu- late the business. She noted the City requires $1 million insur- ance on all new City lease sites. MOTION® Councilmember Miller moved the City require $250,000 insurance on the taxicab operation. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Napper noted Council's responsibility is to guard the public trust; should there be an accident, it will not be just a $250,000 lawsuit and plaintiffs will sue the City to recover dam- ages. He noted Mr. Ashman did not say he couldn't obtain the in- surance, just that the premium might be too high. Councilmember Miller believed the $1 million requirement to be too high. He said the taxi operation will be advantageous for the City in that it will be available to transport people to their homes who who have been drinking, thereby keeping them off the streets and potentially causing accidents. MINUTES - MORRO BF CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARY 11, 1987 PAGE 5 MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved this matter be continued un- til such time as the applicant can provide more details regarding insurance coverage and premium costs. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unani- mously carried. (4-0) B-2 PUBLIC HEARING ON APPEALS OF NOTICE TO ABATE WEEDS Mr. Napper stated this is the opportunity for property owners to appeal the notice to abate weeds on their parcels. They are re- quired to remove the weeds by May 31st; if their parcels are not cleaned, the City will begin abatement June 1st and charge the property owners on their tax bill. Mayor Reddell asked what the average cost to a property owner is for the City to abate the weeds; Mr. Nichols stated approximately $90.00. Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public. Dave Martin, 1234 Bolton, asked if the City will be raking the weeds after they are cut. Mr. Nichols stated removal is required by the contract to remove the weeds the same day they are cut. He noted many property owners are mowing their own lots this year, and the City has no control on their removal of the weeds. The Department will try to address concerns as they occur. Councilmember Sheetz asked the Sun -Bulletin reporter to indicate in his article the City wants property owners who mow their own lots to remove the cuttings as well. MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved the hearing be closed to the public. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) No action required, as no appeals were received. B-3 PUBLIC HEARING ON ASSIGNMENT OF LIBRARY BUILDING AND CLEAR- ANCE OF OCCUPANCY PERMIT CONDITIONS BY THE MORRO BAY FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY, INC. TO THE CITY OF MORRO BAY;_ RESOLUTION NO. 57-87 ACCEPTING LIBRARY BUILDING Mr. Napper stated the Friends have completed their occupancy per- mit conditions and now desire for the City to accept the building from the Friends and assume the sublease agreement for operation of the library by the County of San Luis Obispo. The only out- standing item is the parcel map, which staff suggests can be pre- pared in conjunction with realignment of Kennedy Way for the Com- munity Center. The Friends have deposited $300 with the City as their share in the process. Mr. Napper recommended Council ac- cept the building from the Friends with gratitude and appreciation. MINUTES - MORRO BF CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - P.ARY 11, 1987 PAGE 6 Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public; there were no comments and the hearing was closed. Councilmember Sheetz stated the City owes a great debt of grati- tude to Jane Bailey for being the driving force behind the con- struction of the new library. MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved for the adoption of Resolu- tion No. 57-87. The motion was seconded by Councilmem- ber Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) B-4 RESOLUTION NO. 58-87 DELETING THE WATER EQUIVALENCY TRANSFER DEED RESTRICTION Judy Skousen reviewed the deed restriction requirement currently placed on owner -occupied residences as a condition to receiving priority water equivalencies through the pipeline replacement program. The proposed resolution deletes this requirement which is in the operating procedures of the Community Development De- partment; it also deletes any deed restrictions currently in effect. Councilmember She I etz questioned the "numerous complaints" about this restriction cited in the Resolution. Ms. Skousen stated the Council and the Community Development Department have received complaints. Mr. Farrel did not know if there were "numerous" complaints, but stated there has certainly been activity in the area of requesting waivers to the requirement. Mayor Reddell asked about the legality of the deed restriction; Ms. Skousen stated in her opinion it is unenforceable, and would probably be found invalid by the court if challenged. Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public; there were no comments and the matter was brought back to Council. MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved for the adoption of the City Attorney's recommendation and Resolution No. 58-87. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Odell and car- ried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Miller, Odell, Reddell NOES: Sheetz ABSENT: Lemons B-5 PUBLIC HEARING ON APPROVAL OF CITY LEASE WITH ASSOCIATED PACIFIC CONSTRUCTORS, —LEASE-SITE NO. 51/51W (PULLED) MINUTES - MORRO BT ,CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - ,A�RY 11, 1987 PAGE 7 C. UNFINISHED BUSINESS C-1 ORDINANCE NO. 303 ALTERING LOCATION AND TIME OF CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETINGS - SECOND READING AND ADOPTION Mr. Napper stated this is the second and final reading of Ordi- nance No. 303 which establishes Council meetings to be held in the Veterans Memorial Hall, and meetings to begin at 6:00 p.m. If adopted this evening, the Ordinance will be in effect for the second Council meeting in June. MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved Ordinance No. 303 be read by title and number only. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Odell and unanimously carried. (4-0) Mr. Napper read Ordinance No. 303 by title and number. MOTION: Councilmember Odell moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 303 as second and final reading. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) C-2 RECREATION AND PARKS COMMISSION REPORT REGARDING HARBOR FES- TIVAL ORGANIZATION Steve Wolter reviewed this item and the Recreation and Parks Com- mission consideration of Staff's recommendations. The Commis- sioner's final recommendation is a 4-year phase -out period, and allow the Harbor Festival Committee use of the Morro Rock Capital Improvement Fund up to and including the 1988 Harbor Festival. Councilmember Miller asked how much is in the Morro Rock Improve- ment Fund, and Mr. Wolter said approximately $10,000. Coun- cilmember Miller was concerned if the Committee is allowed to use these funds, they will not be returned and the money set aside for Morro Rock improvements will be gone; he said this is one area in Morro Bay that sorely needs improvements. There was considerable discussion regarding funding the Harbor Festival; it was noted $9800 is annually budgeted for the Harbor Festival which includes staffing requirements. Mayor Reddell questioned Mr. Wolter regarding Harbor Festival fi- nances in recent years, and noted the Harbor Festival had not ac- tually made money in the past. Mayor Reddell was in favor of al- lowing the Committee use of the funds under the criteria they will return the funds at the end of the event. MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved the $10,000 in the Morro Rock Improvement Fund be frozen, but approve the recom- mendation for phasing the Harbor Festival from the City structure by 1990. The motion was seconded by Coun- cilmember Sheetz. MINUTES - MORRO BF CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - inARY 11, 1987 PAGE 8 Mr. Napper requested Council amend the motion to freeze the Morro Rock Improvement Fund rather than establishing the amount, since it is not known exactly how much money is in the account. Councilmember Miller amended his motion to freeze the Morro Rock Capital Improvement Fund. Councilmember Sheetz accepted the amendment and the motion carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Miller, Odell, Sheetz NOES: Reddell ABSENT: Lemons Councilmember Odell stated if the Committee reaches a point where they need additional funding, they should approach Council with a specific amount. He indicated he would act favorably to such a request, but agreed with Councilmember Miller that once a fund is used for a purpose, it generally is not replaced. Mr. Napper noted the motion requires 4-year City phase -out to be accom- plished at the conclusion of Harbor Festival 1990. D. NEW BUSINESS D-1 RESOLUTION NO. _5_9-87 _AWA_R_D_I_N_G_ CONTRACT FOR MORRO BAY HOUSE- HOLD HAZARDOUSWASTEMATERIALS PICKUP DAY (6� JUNE 1987) Fire Chief Zerr reviewed the Hazardous Waste Materials Pickup Day which will be held June 6th on City property at Chorro Creek Road. The program is designed to give Morro Bay citizens an op- portunity to dispose of hazardous household wastes in a safe man- ner. Bids for disposing of these wastes were received, and Chief Zerr recommends Council adopt Resolution No. 59-87 awarding the contract to N.G. Chemical Company. Mr. Napper noted Morro Bay is the first community in the County to undertake such an activity. He stated the program cannot ac- cept explosives; however, the County Bomb Task Force will be available to receive those items should people wish to dispose of them. Councilmember Miller commended Chief Zerr for putting this program together; other cities will be watching our success. MOTION: Councilmember Miller moved for adoption of Resolution No. 59-87. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Sheetz and unanimously carried. (4-0) D-2 DISCUSSION OF MUNICIPAL CODE PROVISIONS ALLOWING CONVERSION OF APARTMENTS TO CONDOMINIUMS Bill Farrel explained the process of converting multi -family structures from apartments to condominiums thereby allowing indi- vidual ownership of the condominiums. He reviewed the City's historical experience with recent condominium conversions. MINUTES - MORRO BI CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARY 11, 1987 PAGE 9 There was considerable discussion regarding this process. Coun- cilmember Odell asked if the Planning Commission looks more fa- vorably on apartment or condominium developments. Mr. Farrel stated staff favors apartments because they provide much -needed affordable housing. Mayor Reddell asked questions regarding the difference between applying for an apartment development vs. a condominium develop- ment. Mr. Farrel stated it is possible to receive approval for apartments faster because condominiums require parcel or tract maps. Mayor Reddell believes some developers obtain apartment permits and water, and then convert to condominiums because the apartment permit is initially easier to obtain. It should be more diffi- cult to convert apartments to condominiums once an individual re- ceives a permit for apartments. Councilmember Sheetz asked if the 1979 Code provisions regulating conversion are being strictly adhered to, because they were not following in the Ironwood Apartment conversion. Bill Farrel re- sponded that to his knowledge, the provisions are now fully enforced. MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved the matter return to staff to draw up new criteria and options to regulate apart- ment conversions to condominiums. The motion was sec- onded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) D-3 REPORT ON STATUS OF STATE PARKS DEPARTMENT MASTER PLANNING PROGRAM Mr. Farrel reviewed the process the State Department of Parks and Recreation is pursuing to develop a Master Plan for their park units in this area. He said the process is moving slowly and suggested Council request a hearing be held in Morro Bay when the draft Plan is ready for public review. There was discussion regarding the State's attempt to close the lower road through the State Park; Mr. Farrel stated this is ba- sically for ecological reasons to protect the Park from the im- pacts of traffic, but the City has historically opposed it. It was decided the Mayor would direct a letter to the Department requesting a meeting in Morro Bay once the draft Master Plan is ready for review. A-9 APPROVAL OF MAP FOR TRACT MAP 1367, "VISTA DEL SOL" CONDO SUBDIVISION (SEQUOIA AND- MAIN STREET) Mayor Reddell was in favor of deferring action on this item until Council receives the information requested on condominium conver- sions. Ms. Skousen stated it is too late to add any conditions MINUTES - MORRO BA ';CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING - MARY 11, 1987 PAGE 10 on this project; the only question is whether or not it has met the conditions placed on it when it was given Tentative Map approval. Bill Farrel advised this project was not technically a condo- minium conversion. The developer initially applied for a permit for an apartment complex, and then dropped that application and went through the entire process to obtain a permit for condominiums. Comments were also heard from Brad Gilson, one of the project's developers from Paso Robles. MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved for approval of the map for Tract 1367. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) E. CLOSED SESSION MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved the meeting adjourn to Closed Session. The motion was seconded by Councilmem- ber Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) Mayor Reddell announced Council was adjourning to Closed Session to discuss litigation in accordance with Government Code Section 54956.9(a) regarding the following cases: L2pfrena vs. �gj:ty of Morro Bay Jennings vs. City of Morro Bay Cabrillo vs. City of Morro Bay D2pfnghini vs. Cityof Morro Bay The meeting adjourned to Closed Session at 9:00 p.m. F. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved the meeting adjourn to Tues- day, May 26, 1987 at 6:30 p.m. in the City Hall Confer- ence Room to interview applicants for Community Promo- tions Committee. The motion was seconded by Coun- cilmember Miller and unanimously carried. (4-0) The meeting adjourned at 10:40 p.m. Recorded by: Aaallb ARDITH DAVIS Deputy City Clerk
