B. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS &_ APPEARANCES
B-1 HARBOR ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION AND CONSIDERATION OF
IM_PLE_MENTING AN_ACTIVE COMMERCIAL FISHING INDUSTRY RENT
REDUCTION IN LEASES OF PUBLIC TIDELANDS
Councilmember Sheetz excused herself from discussion on this item
due to a conflict of interest; she handles the accounting books
for one of the leaseholders who potentially could benefit from
this proposal.
Alan Davis reviewed this item noting Morro Bay Fuel Dock's re-
quest for rent reduction after receiving a rent increase for the
first time in 16 years. The former City Council directed staff
to assess this matter and make recommendations for rent reduc-
tions for active commercial fishing industry lease sites.
He reviewed a proposal that would provide a lease would have to
derive 60% of their business from a commercial fishing related
activity to qualify for a rent reduction. The rent reduction
would be 1 /2 of each 1 % of gross sales derived from the commer-
cial fishing industry; Mr. Davis listed the types of businesses
qualifying for the discount. He also reviewed the potential loss
of revenues to the City based on 30%, 40%, and 50% reductions
over a 20 year period ($778,995 at 50% reduction over 20 years).
Mr. Davis noted the Waterfront Leaseholders Association has re-
viewed this proposal, but has not taken a position on it. The
Harbor Advisory Board liked the general concept, but could
not agree on the specific methods of relief or amounts of
reduction.
Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public for comments.
Al Hall, 945 Embarcadero, the Whale's Tail Restaurant, stated his
lease rents increased from $5,300 per to to $25,000 per year. He
said he is supporting the fishing industry by purchasing local
fish for his restaurant. He does not believe it is equitable to
allow rent reductions for the commercial fishing industry, and
not for other leaseholders on the Embarcadero.
Ray Biering, attorney representing the Waterfront Leaseholders
Association, stated the Association has discussed this proposal
and while they recognize the needs of the commercial fishing in-
dustry, there are other leaseholders who also deserve rent reduc-
tions or evaluations based on economic needs. He stated the ba-
sic problem is the entire rent structure.
Mayor Reddell closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Lemons asked questions regarding comparable figures
on other leases, and the amount of savings the Fuel Dock has al-
ready realized over the years the City neglected to appraise and
increase their rents. Mr. Davis explained the difficulty in com-
MINUTES - MORRO BA, CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING - JULY 27, 1987

puting these figures, but agreed savings had occurred to the Fuel
Dock.
Mayor Reddell was not in favor of reducing rents just for the
commercial fishing industry; he believed everybody should be
treated the same and the City should not take one little group
and given them a benefit. Councilmember Lemons indicated he was
unable to accept the proposal as -is; one problem he has with it
is the possible loss of revenue to the City of $800,000 over the
next 20 years to an enterprise fund.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved this item be referred to the
Harbor Advisory Board to see if they recommend pursing
this concept. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Odell and carried, with Councilmember Sheetz abstain-
ing. ( 4-0-1 )
Councilmember Sheetz resumed her seat.
B-2 INTRODUCTION AND CONSIDERATION OF DRAFT REVISION TO-CITY'S
CIRCULATION ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN -
Mr. Napper suggested Council consider this Plan in several seg-
ments; tonight, the pedestrian and bikepath portions. He also
suggested if there were any portions of the Plan Council wished
to delete or amend at this time because of public input at previ-
ous advisory board meetings, they may do so and possibly avoid
lengthy public commentary.
Council discussed several of these items, and Mayor Reddell an-
nounced Council will delete the Bolton/Prescott Drive access to
the Williams Brothers property, and the Alder Street re-route of
North Main Street.
Bill Farrel reviewed the bicycle and pedestrian path proposals in
the Plan. He also discussed a proposal submitted by Al Jorge of
the Street Advisory Committee regarding a pedestrian path on
Coleman Drive which had been favorably received by staff, as well
as recommendations by the various advisory boards.
Mayor Reddell asked several questions regarding installing tempo-
rary sidewalks to avoid the expense of permanent sidewalks. Mr.
Nichols reviewed liability and maintenance concerns.
Councilmember Lemons asked if there is a provision that a certain
percentage of gas tax monies has to be spent for bicycle paths;
Mr. Nichols stated he did not know, but would look into the
matter.
Councilmember Lemons requested information regarding pedestrian
counts before setting priorities for sidewalk installation.
Council indicated they were not in favor of the recommendation
for a pedestrian over -crossing of Highway 1 in the North Main

Street area; they believed the signal light at Yerba Buena and
Main Street will satisfy this need and others in one project.
Councilmember Lemons asked if it was the City' s or the adjacent
property owners responsibility to maintain sidewalks; Mr. Napper
stated staff is currently examining this issue and an ordinance
is being developed to establish a policy.
Council discussed the bicycle and pedestrian paths through the
VRM property, and decided to leave them in the Plan so it is
clear if the property is ever developed, installation of a bicy-
cle and pedestrian path will be required somewhere by a
developer.
Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public.
Mary Wooten, 2728 Alder, thanked the Council for removing the
Alder Street re-route from the Plan, and presented Council with a
petition from residents in the area protesting that portion of
the Plan.
Mayor Phillips, Ironwood, believed North Main Street is too nar-
row to support a bicycle and pedestrian path, and its widening
should be the highest priority.
Mayor Reddell closed the hearing to the public.
Councilmember Lemons requested staff contact the school district
to determine if they have an established "safe route to school"
for school children. He also suggested removing the use of the
word "shall" where appropriate in the Plan to make it discre-
tionary actions.
Councilmember Lemons asked if the City incurred liability by a
statement in the Plan for the City to encourage motels to provide
bicycles for their guests. Ms. Skousen said there is always a
possibility, however, it is remote since the City is not requir-
inc. motels to provide the bicycles. He also requested staff con-
tact local bicycle clubs to determine their support of Class III
bicycle paths as a City standard.
Mr. Napper stated staff would make note of the questions and
changes suggested by Council, and return with answers at the fi-
nal hearing. The hearing on August 10th will focus on the traf-
fic component of the Circulation Plan.

on the revetment repairs, and a punch -list from Pierce Construc-
tion for repairs needed prior to opening the restaurant. The re-
ports indicate revetment repairs can be accomplished within one
to two weeks after permits are received; and the repairs required
to open the restaurant should be completed by September 1, 1987
and no later that October 1, 1987. It was noted neither Mr.
Elster nor City Engineer Nick Nichols are willing to certify the
building safe for occupancy until after the revetment repairs are
completed. The complicated permit process may hold the restau-
rant opening in abeyance.
Staff recommends Council receive the reports, authorize amendment
of the Master Lease to require restaurant operations be open for
public business within 30 days of completing the revetment re-
pairs, said revetment repairs commencing within 30 days of is-
suance of required permits.
Council asked if anything could be done to accelerate the permit
process; Mr. Davis said the project should qualify as "minor in
scope and the process could take as little as two weeks. How-
ever, if the Coastal Commission decides full permit review is re-
quired, it could be months.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved for approval of the staff
recommendation to accept the punchlists; and that the
Master Lease be amended to require restaurant opera-
tions be open for public business within 30 days of
completing the revetment repairs, said revetment re-
pairs commencing within 30 days of issuance of required
permits. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Lemons and unanimously carried. (4-0)
D. NEW BUSINESS
D-1 APPROVAL OF CONSENT TO SUBLEASE RESTAURANT OPERATIONS TO
RICHARD L. HOBBS ON LEASE SITE 93-95W (DENNIS)
Mr. Davis stated Ms. Dennis has requested permission to sublease
the restaurant on Lease Site 93-95W to Richard Hobbs. He re-
viewed Mr. Hobbs' qualifications to conduct a restaurant business
and stated his financial statement indicates sufficient fiscal
resources. He recommended Council approve Resolution No. 86-87.
Councilmember Lemons asked if the approval of the assignment of
this lease should precede approval of the sublease. Ms. Skousen
stated either way would be correct; the prospective assignee (Jim
George) of this lease is required to accept the sublease agree-
ments of the Master Lease. Mr. George is aware of and concurs in
this sublease. Mr. Davis stated approval of the sublease should
occur before approval of the assignment so the sublease agreement
regarding operation of the restaurant can be effective and pro-
ceed even if something fails during escrow procedures on the as-
signment of the lease.

No. 86-87. The motion was seconded by Councilmember

D-2 APPROVAL OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF LEASE SITE 93-95W
FROM MILDRED GRAHAM DENNIS TO MR. & MRS. JIM GEORGE
Mr. Davis noted the past problems associated with this lease
site, and stated progress is finally being made to make it a vi-
able revenue -producing lease site. Ms. Dennis has entered into
escrow to assign her interest in the lease to James F. and Margie
R. George, subject to Council approval. The City is in receipt
of a CPA financial statement and qualification statement outlin-
ing their experience. The Finance Director has found the
Georges' economic position acceptable, and noted Mr. George has
considerable experience dealing with distressed property situa-
tions and property management.
Council asked numerous questions to determine the lease would not
end up in the same position it has with previous tenants. Mr.
Napper believed the Master Lease contains sufficient restrictions
to prevent the same problems, however, there is no guarantee a
tenant will not default on those provisions.
Councilmember Sheetz asked if those prospective subtenants who
were involved in the lease when Ted Brown was leaseholder would
have any opportunity to be involved in sub -leasing from Mr.
George. Mr. Davis stated Mr. George was aware of the individuals
involved; however, it would be up to him whether or not he sub-
leases to them.
Mr. Napper stated every protection possible has been taken in the
lease to protect the City from the situation that evolved when
Mr. Brown was leaseholder. He noted there is only so much the
City can do to protect people from themselves, and it is a re-
quirement in this lease, as it was in the Ted Brown lease, for
prospective sub -lessees to receive City approval prior to
subleasing.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved for the adoption of Resolu-
tion No. 87-87. The motion was seconded by Councilmem-
ber Sheetz and unanimously carried by roll call vote.

D-3 FORMALIZATION OF CONSENT_ TO SUBLEASE (DE GARI_MORE), AND
CHANGE IN SUBLEASE USE TO ALLOW PHOTO STUDIO AND RELATED
SALES ON LEASE SITE 67/67W (PARKHURST GALLERY; VIOLE)
Mr. Davis reviewed this matter which is a request for a use
change from an art and gift shop to an old time photo studio. He
noted when initial Council approval was given in 1984 for the
sublease to the DeGarimores, consent to sublease documents were
not signed. The proposed resolution corrects this oversight
along with approving the change in use. He noted lease viola-

cess. The Master Lessee is required to effectuate repairs within
30 days of issuance of appropriate permits.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved for the adoption of Resolu-
tion No. 83-87. The motion was seconded by Councilmem-
ber Lemons and unanimously carried. (4-0)
D-4 DISCUSSION OF LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES DRAFT WATER POLICY
STATEMENT
Mr. Napper reviewed the Water Policy Statement as submitted by a
Water Policy Subcommittee of the League of California Cities.
Each City in the State, through their League Divisions, is to re-
view the statements and provide input for final policy statement
at the Environmental Quality Committee meeting on September 3rd.
He suggested Council review the statement, provide input tonight
and at their August 10th meeting. The city's Water Advisory
Board will be holding a special meeting to consider the statement
and provide input to Council. He said the objective is to pro-
vide guidance to League lobbyists in Sacramento on State legisla-
tion affecting municipal water matters.
Councilmember Lemons made the following comments on the Policy
Statement:
1. Page 1, I.7, add "when feasible" after the first word,
"Protect".
2. Page 1, I.8, does not agree with statement; does not
believe solvingthe problems in the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta
is a precondition
on to implementing any plan to meet the state's
water needs.
3. Page 1, I.9, not 100% in favor but willing to let it
go.
4. Page 2, III.A.1, no problem as long as the word contam-
ination is strictly interpreted in accordance with Glossary; in-
clude definition in statement.
5. Page 5, VI.B.3, needs language to get around impasse if
one of the agencies refuses to enter into an agreement.
6. Page 5, VIII.1, does not support as a policy statement;
"highest possible quality" too restrictive.
Mr. Napper stated he would forward these comments to the Water
Advisory Board for inclusion in their consideration of the Policy
Statement.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved this item be continued to
the August 10th meeting to receive Water Advisory Board
recommendations. The motion was seconded by Coun-
cilmember Sheetz and unanimously carried. (4-0)

A-2 ADOPTION OF GUIDELINES FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK
_GRANT _ HOUSING REHABILITATIONPROGRAM IN MORRO BAY BY
PEOPLES' SELF-HELP HOUSING CORPORATION
Councilmember Odell removed himself from consideration and dis-
cussion on this matter because of a possible conflict of
interest.
Councilmember Lemons referred to the Program Guidelines, page 1,
item I.C.1. He believed included in the paragraph should be the
property and eligibility guidelines referenced.
Councilmember Lemons asked several other questions to which Scott
Smith of People's Self -Help Housing Corporation (PSHHC) re-
sponded. Councilmember Lemons had concerns as to what happens to
the loans and Rent Limitation Agreements if the property changes
hands after 3 years. Mr. Napper noted the City could not pro-
hibit the sale of the property, but the rent limitation agreement
would have to be assumed on the transfer of title.
Mr. Napper suggested staff obtain clarification on some of the
issues raised and bring the matter back to Council at their next
meeting.
Mayor Reddell asked what portion of a $20,000 loan PSHHC receives
for their administration of the grant. Mr. Napper stated limits
are set by the Department of Housing and Community Development
and PSHHC are not allowed to exceed those administrative limits.
Staff was directed to return at the next meeting with additional
clarification.
Councilmember Odell resumed his seat.
E. CLOSED SESSION
Mayor Reddell announced Council would be adjourning to Closed
