B. PUBLIC HEARINGS, REPORTS.& APPEARANCES
B-1 REQUEST BY SAN LUIS AMBULANCE, INC. FOR, -AMBULANCE SERVICES
RATE INCREASES
Mr. Henderson stated San Luis Ambulance, Inc. provides ambulance
services throughout the County of San Luis Obispo. The Board of
Supervisors recently granted the Company's request to increase
rates; however, Morro Bay retains legislative authority to ap-
prove rate increases for our jurisdiction. The City is in re-
ceipt of financial statements from San Luis Ambulance's CPA firm
substantiating their request. He recommended Council receive
public testimony on this, and adopt Resolution No. 136-87 approv-
ing the rate increases.
Dale Ashburn, manager of San Luis Ambulance, responded to ques-
tions from Council regarding the rate increases and level of am-
bulance services.
Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public; there were no
comments, and the hearing was closed.
There was considerable Council discussion regarding the need for
paramedic services; Mr. Ashburn noted they are attempting to
bring staff up to paramedic certification.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved for adoption of Resolution
No. 136-87. The motion was seconded by Councilmember
Sheetz and unanimously carried. (5-0)
It was noted the Resolution should be amended to included just
one "Stand -By" fee of $75/hour.
B-2 APPROVAL OF CUP 32-87 (CONCEPT PLAN) FOR A 40-UNIT SENIOR

HOUSING CORP. (CDP 69-87 3_-_87_)
Councilmember Odell stepped down due to a Conflict of Interest.
Mr. Farrel discussed the proposal to build a 40-unit low income
housing project on North Main Street adjacent to the Del Mar Park
and School. He noted there will be 5 buildings on the 1.68 acre
site which is part of a 10-acre site the applicants are request-
ing be subdivided. He said one concern of the application is the
impact of increased traffic; the applicant had an engineering
study prepared which provides mitigation measures.
Mayor Reddell opened the hearing to the public for comments.
Jeanette Duncan, Executive Director of People's Self -Help Hous-
ing, thanked City staff for their cooperation in bringing the
project to this point in a relatively short period of time. She
said this is the first project in the area of this size approved

by HUD, and they are very excited about it. Ms. Duncan noted se-
niors will only pay 30% of their income as rent for the apart-
ments, and the HUD rental assistance will always guarantee the
units remain affordable.
Brian Emerson, of John Mutlow Architects, reviewed the site plan
for Council information.
Mike Multari, Director on People's Self -Help Housing Board, en-
couraged Council to support the staff recommendation.
Charles Palmer, 485 Estero, noted the extensive lawn areas shown
on the architect's rendering of the project site; he stated other
landscaping should be considered as lawn is an intensive water
use.
Imogene Haidet, Morro Bay Senior Citizens, stated their organiza-
tion strongly supports the project.
Mayor Reddell closed the hearing to the public.
Mr. Farrel noted the specific landscaping for the project
will come under consideration during the precise plan segment of
the project review, and water conservation landscaping will be
incorporated.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved for the adoption of Resolu-
tion No. 135-87. The motion was seconded by Coun-
cilmember Lemons and carried with Councilmember Odell
abstaining. (4-0-1)

FISH PUMP OPERATIONS,
Bill Farrel reviewed Planning Commission's consideration of this
item and approval with conditions, and Mr. Leage's subsequent ap-
peal of Condition 11 which requires him to reduce the noise lev-
els on other machinery. On December 9th, staff received a letter
from Mr. Leage's attorney requesting the appeal hearing be de-
ferred until Council's January 25th meeting. The letter advises
Mr. Leage is in the process of installing an electrical motor for
the fish pump and believes the noise level will be reduced so the
Planning Commission will not find it necessary to place Condition
11 on his application.
Mr. Napper suggested Council not technically open the hearing
this evening, but defer the matter to January 25th. Council
should, however, ask if anyone in the audience wishes to comment
on the project.

rznavT)' c PpnPOSAL FOR A MARINA DEVELOPMENT
OFFSHORE BAYSHORE BLUFFS PARK
Alan Davis reviewed the Harbor Advisory Board's recommendations
relative to developing a marina site for recreational vessels.
They recommended the water area in front of Bayshore Bluffs Park,
including the water area opposite The Inn at Morro Bay,
be made
available for development by private parties. They also recom-
mended the development be restricted to approximately 50 slips,
no two story structures be allowed, and the development be aes-
thetically pleasing in keeping with the present setting.
Councilmember Odell was concerned regarding over -intensification
of uses on the ecology of the Bay if both the Bayshore Bluffs
area and The Inn were developed as a marina. Mayor Reddell sug-
gested this item be scheduled for discussion during the joint
meeting between the Harbor Advisory Board and Council, along with
consideration of a Harbor Master Plan. Councilmember Lemons
agreed, noting Council approval of the recommendation at this
time would be setting a Harbor Master Plan before consideration
MINUTES - MORRO B. CITY COUNCIL

of all facets of the Harbor. He also stated development of a
Harbor Master Plan should be the Board's number one priority.
Mr. Farrel advised Council their direction had been for staff to
begin work on a Harbor Master Plan within 30 days after final
adoption of the Traffic Circulation Element. It is hoped that
final adoption will occur in January.
There was discussion whether to obtain commitments from The Inn
to redevelop the marina which was once there, or the possibility
of advertising RFP's for the area to force The Inn to make a
decision.
MOTION: Councilmember Sheetz moved staff be instructed to pre-
pare Request for Proposals for restoration of a marina
at Lease Site 27W. The motion was seconded by Mayor
Reddell.
There was discussion regarding the motion, with consensus The Inn
should be put on notice as to the City's intentions before actual
RFP's were advertised. Mr. Davis commented that it may not be
economically feasible for only 15-18 slips to be built under
restoration only.
D-3
Councilmember Sheetz amended her motion for staff to
initiate contact with the owner of The Inn at Morro Bay
to ascertain their interest in Lease Site 27W. The
amendment was accepted by Mayor Reddell, and the
amended motion was unanimously carried. (5-0)
nFSTGNATION OF COUNCILMEMBER ODELL AS COUNCIL'S LIAISON TO
INTER -AGENCY PLANNING TASK FORCE ON BACK -BAY
Mr. Napper explained the County's Inter -Agency Task Force on the
Back Bay which is formed to discuss issues regarding management
and protection of the back bay area. He noted SB 959 monies are
being used to fund staff for this group. Councilmember Odell has
requested he be appointed to this Task Force given his interest
and knowledge of the back bay. Harbor Director Alan Davis, Pub-
lic Works Director Nick Nichols, and Community Development Direc-
tor Bill Farrel are already on this committee.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved Council appoint Councilmem-
ber Odell to be Council's liaison to the Inter -Agency
Task Force on the Back Bay. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Donnelly and unanimously carried. (5-0)
Mayor Reddell questioned whether the City should take a position
on the County's need to sewer South Bay, due to the impact of
septic tank systems on the Back Bay ecosystem. Council requested
Councilmember Odell to bring back information from the Task Force
concerning this subject.

D-4 AUTHORIZATION TO COMMENCE NEGOTIATIONS FOR TRANSFER OF PROP-
ERTY TAX REVENUE FOR PROPOSED ANNEXATION NO. 4 (GIST,
APPLICANT)
Mr. Napper stated the Board of Supervisors has authorized the ne-
gotiation of a transfer of property tax as a result of a property
owner's petition to LAFCO for annexation to Morro Bay. The prop-
erty is located in the northwest corner of Zanzibar and Panorama
Streets, and is vacant. The procedure at this point is for Coun-
cil to authorize the City Administrator to negotiate the transfer
of property tax with the County. Council's authorization to ne-
gotiate does not obligate the Council to accept the annexation.
If each agency subsequently agrees to the property tax formula,
the proposed annexation will return to LAFCO for their decision.
If either agency rejects the proposed property tax transfer, the
annexation process terminates.
Mayor Reddell asked if the City accepted this annexation, could
the property owner be required to be "last in line" for water.
Judy Skousen stated only LAFCO can place conditions on the annex-
ation; the City could request that agency to do something.
Councilmember Donnelly questioned the purpose of the annexation.
Mr. Napper stated the property owner probably wants City services
such as water and sewer.
Mayor Reddell asked how many other properties were in a similar
situation? Mr. Farrel stated that would take some research.
Mayor Reddell asked the cost of processing this application, and
Mr. Napper responded it consists basically of staff time to amend
the general plan, maps, etc. Mayor Reddell asked what happens if
the Council does not approve the annexation or does nothing; Mr.
Napper stated the annexation does not go forward.
Councilmember Donnelly suggested the applicant pay staff time to
process the application. Mr. Napper stated that can be part of
the negotiation process.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved the City Administrator be
authorized to negotiate a possible property tax revenue
formula for proposed Annexation No. 4 (Gist); and find
out if costs involved can be passed on to the property
owner if the City decides to proceed with the annexa-
tion. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Sheetz.
Mayor Reddell stated the City doesn't have enough water and sewer
for the property owners currently within the City limits, and it
doesn't make sense to bring another piece of property into the
City under those circumstances.
The motion carried with Mayor Reddell voting no. (4-1)

D-5 RESIGNATION FROM RECREATION AND PARKS COMMISSION (J.
REDDELL) AND DISPOSITION OF VACANCY ��
Mr. Napper indicated Jo Ann Reddell resigned her position on the
Recreation and Parks Commission; her term expires December 31,
1990. He provided Council with options for filling the vacancy:
appoint a replacement from applications on file for the position;
appoint a replacement outright; or advertise the vacancy for new
applications. It is anticipated Council will interview appli-
cants for various advisory board vacancies during the first week
in January 1988; this position could be included in that inter-
view process.
Council was in favor of advertising and interviewing for the
position.
MOTION: Councilmember Lemons moved Council accept the resigna-
tion of Jo Ann Reddell from the Recreation and Parks
Commission, and the position be advertised. The motion
was seconded by Councilmember Odell and unanimously
carried. (5-0)
D-6 RESIGNATION FROM __WATER ADVISORY BOARD (B. LEONAR_D), AND
APPOINTMENT OF ROGER BRIGGS (CENTRAL COAST WATER QUALITY

Mr. Napper stated Bill Leonard of the Water Quality Control Board
was recently promoted to the position of Chief Executive Officer.
This new position now leaves him little time to participate in
the City's Water Advisory Board meetings and he must resign from
the Board. Mr. Leonard has nominated Roger Briggs, Chief Engi-
neer from the Water Quality Control Board to be appointed in his
place as a technical advisor to the Water Advisory Board.
MOTION: Councilmember Odell moved Council accept Bill Leonard's
resignation from the Water Advisory Board with appreci-
ation for his services, and appoint .Roger Briggs to be
a technical advisor to the Water Advisory Board from
the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The motion
was seconded by Councilmember Lemons and unanimously
