NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Atascadero: 1. Endorses, encourages and supports responsible pet owner- ship; and, in particular, the spay or neutering of privately owned dog or cat, and 2. Expresses an intention that the tragedy of thousands of humanely euthanized dogs and cats each year is an unac- ceptable practice to the residents of the City of Atascadero, and 3. A public awareness and education program is a desirable alternative to the creation of criminal sanctions imposed upon owners of pets who fail to properly and responsibly exercise their ownership. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that those persons, private or com- mercial, and agencies, both public and private, charged with responsibility of animal regulation and control, or in whom there is interest in these matters of public concern, be encouraged to participate in public awareness and education to the end that the euthanization of healthy dogs and cats may be substantially reduced in the City of Atascadero. 000024 RESOLUTION NO. 19-92 Page Two On motion by Councilmember , seconded by Council- member , the foregoing resolution is hereby adopted on the following roll-call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ADOPTED: ATTEST: City of Atascadero LEE RABOIN, City Clerk By: ALDER F.

Date: 2/11/92 From: Henry Engen, Community Dev. Director File No: TPM 91-009 SUBJECT: Appeal by Robert Cardillo of the Planning Commission' s approval of the proposed division of an 8.21 acre parcel into two 4.1 acre lots at 9300 Corriente. RECOMMENDATION: Denial of the appeal and approval of the proposed lot division pursuant to the Findings made by the Planning Commission and their revised Conditions of Approval. BACKGROUND: At the Planning Commission's meeting of January 7, 1992, they considered the attached staff report and expressions of concern by Mr. Cardillo and others relative to the parcel map (refer to attached minutes excerpt for discussion) . Action of the Planning • Commission, on a 4 :2: 1 vote, was to recommend approval of the proposed lot division subject to the addition of Condition #7 relative to identifying the address of each parcel. APPEAL ISSUES: 1. Flag Lot - It is contended that since Parcel #1 is proposed to take access via an easement over Parcel #2, that this creates a flag lot condition. However, the Subdivision Ordinance definition of a flag lot reads as follows: "Flag Lot" means a lot predominantly situated behind another lot and having access to a street by means of a narrow portion of the flag lot extending out to the street. " Such a configuration is not proposed in this case. 2. Percent Slope The appellant notes that the slope of the property is 30.5% and that this should cause the minimum lot size criteria to be greater, thus precluding the possibility of a new lot. The Zoning Ordinance standard for the next highest value requirement is in the 31 - 35% range; hence, the 30.5% reading falls within the 26-30%+ range. 000()26 3. 3: 1 Lot Depth Issue - Although the depth-to-width relationship of the lot exceeds a 3: 1 ratio, the Subdivision Ordinance enables creation of such lots provided that "deep lot subdivisions will not occur or. . . . " With lots at 4. 1 acres each, the parcels could not be further- subdivided. In addition, concern was expressed about the proximity of the building sites being too close. The attached sketch developed by Cuesta Engineering indicates that the anticipated site for the house on Parcel #2 could be approximately 60 feet from the side lot line and 123 feet total to the Cardillo' s home at 9400 Corriente. 4. Septic System - Perc tests showing sufficient perc rates for conventional septic systems were submitted as part of the application. In the event that the location suggested for the leach field on Parcel 2 does prove to have a drainage problem - this is not completely confirmed - there are other alternate locations on the property for a leach field. In addition, the driveway design is such that it would reduce waters crossing the area proposed for leach fields. 5. CC&Rs - If there are any violations of the CC&Rs on the prop- erty, then it is a civil matter between buyers -and sellers. HE:ps cc: Robert L. Cardillo • Deborah Hollowell, Cuesta Engineering Enclosures: Letter of Appeal - January 21, 1992 Planning Commission Staff Report - January 7, 1992 Revised Conditions of Approval - January 7, 1992 Planning Commission Minute Excerpts - January 7, 1992 Potential Building Relationship: 9300 & 9400 Corriente 00002'7 '20: At• s a cadero City council JAN 21 199 Attn: l,1r. henry :gingen, Director COA4MUt4JrV 2 o2 ENT Dear Hr. i;"ngen, This letter shall serve as my appeal to the Plan:.ing Commission decision approving TPM 91009. Following are many of the laws and guidelines that were ignored at the meeting on January 7th. The CC&R' s clearly establish the character of the area and were also ignored. 1 . Parcel ;#1 clearly becomes a flag lot, as the common driveway is the only access to the homesite. It could not be located anywhere else due to the slope. 2. The slope exceeds the 30910 maximum allowed, however in paragraph 3 of the staff report the minimum lot size criteria used an average slope of 26-30%. Is the 30.5% correct or does it fall into the 26-30% range allowing the minimum size lot criteria of 4.08 acres to be met? 3. The lots greatly exceed the 3 to 1 lot depth to width ratio clearly not allowing the lot split. This creates two very long narrow lots thereby establishing 2 building sites much closer than any other in the area. As rarcel r/2 is adjacent to my home, we end up with 3 houses clustered together which is completely out of character for this area, and violates the CC&R' s. 4. Due to the fact that the septic system is in question, the Tanning Commission and City Council should reject this lot split. 'then Frank Henderson advised Mr. !-;alone of the drainage problem onto my property, he and Engineer Cal Fernandez visited the property five hours prior to the vote on January 7th. 'Ir. Fernandez pointed out there was too much drainage into the peptic area from the hills and the proposed septic site was ana.cceptr_ible. That night at the meeting I1r. !'alone nrorosed alternative sites. 000(WS It absolutely amazed me when Cuesta Engineering explained why the other sites would not work and said their original site was the only feasible location for the system. How could the City possibly have approved this split when they cannot even agree on a site and never even tested other septic sites. This could create a major health hazard and damage my property. In summary, the CC&R' s are in effect and every homeowner in the area must agree to changes in the character of the area. The split adversely affects the value of my property, neighboring propertyp and ultimately the City of Atascadero. You cannot ignore the points I have addressed above and allow this lot split to occur. To the best of my knowledge, there were only two Commission i iembers who viewed the property, Mr. Luna and Mr. Vlaage, and both voted No. I sincerely request the City Council vote .o on this proposal.

Malone, Assistant Planner File No: TPM #91009 SUBJECT: Consideration of a tentative parcel map application to subdivide one ( 1) existing lot of approximately 8.21 acres into two (2) new parcels, each of 4.1 acres, for single-family residential use.

Environmental Status. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Negative Declaration posted Dec. 11, 1991 DESCRIPTION: The project is located on the north side of Corriente Road about one-quarter mile before the cul-de-sac at the end of the paved road (see Attachment A - General Plan & Attachment B - Zoning Maps) . The applicant requests approval of a tentative parcel map application to divide one ( 1) lot (created by Parcel Map 87-314) into two (2) parcels, each of 4. 1 acres, for single-family residential use (see Attachment C - Tentative Parcel Map) . The site is currently undeveloped with average grades varying between 15 and 35 percent. The lot generally slopes to the south towards Corriente Road. There are two knolls on the site which 000030 are proposed to be the building sites. The area of the lot west of the two knolls slopes down to a blue-line stream which runs across the westernmost corner of the property. A rough graded dirt driveway leads from Corriente Road to the upper knoll of the site. The proposed common driveway (see Attachment D - Preliminary Driveway Grading Plan) will follow the dirt road limiting the amount of grading. Many of the surrounding properties are developed with the adjacent parcel to the south-east having a newly constructed single family residence. ANALYSIS: The design of the proposed subdivision has been reviewed according to the requirements and standards of the Subdivision Map Act, CEQA, and the City' s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Subdivision Ordinance. The following discussion focuses on the applicable design elements and concerns relative to the application and proposed subdivision design: State Requirements - The standards for information and subdivision design specified in the Subdivision Map Act have been provided on the submitted tentative map and accompanying application information. CEOA Review- The proposed subdivision and preliminary driveway grading plan have been reviewed under the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act. The applicant has provided optional subdivision designs which indicate the proposed lot alignments, building sites and driveway design are the preferred option. The proposed design does not create significant environmental impacts (see Attachment E - Negative Declaration) . General Plan Update - As the Commission is aware, the 1980 General Plan will soon be updated by the draft 1990 General Plan. There are a number of potential new policies which may become effective should the draft plan be adopted as proposed. The proposed public facilities section of the Draft Land Use Element covering fire protection and safety, specifies that until action is taken on developing a fire services master plan for the west side of the city, new subdivisions shall not be approved when proposed beyond the a five-minute response time from existing stations. The area containing the proposed subdivision is located in the 8-9 minute response time zone from the downtown fire station. The Draft Land Use Element also specifies that new residential subdivisions in suburban areas which have an average 30% or more slope shall not be permitted; provided that exceptions may be permitted where such a lot contains a "building envelope" of at 2 0000"Al least 8,000 square feet with less than 20% average slope. The average slope of the subject property is 30.5% and the approximated building envelopes located on the knolls exceed the required square foot at a 10% average slope. Minimum Lot Size Criteria - The minimum lot size in the RS zone ranges from 2 1/2 to 10 acres depending on the results of several performance standards as described in Section 9-3. 144 of the City Zoning Ordinance. The following analysis on the project site has determined that the minimum lot size is 4.08 acres. Lot Size Factor Distance from Center ( 14,000' - 16,0001 ) 0.50 Septic Suitability (40-59 min./inch = slow) 1.00 Average Slope (26 - 30%) 1.25 Access Condition (City Accepted Road) 0.40 General Neighborhood Character (4.65 ac) 0.93 Minimum Lot Size. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4.08 acres Each of the proposed parcels is to have a minimum net area of 4. 1 acres; therefore, the minimum lot size criteria has been met. Solar Orientation - The lots are large enough to allow proper building orientation and maximum feasible control of solar exposure by the lot owner, regardless of lot orientation. Depth-Width Relationship - Due to the variation in thero osed P P lot widths, the application of the 3 to 1 lot depth-width relation does not appear to be an appropriate indicator of whether a deep lot subdivision could occur on the proposed properties. However, given the minimum lot size in the RS zone and the proposed lot sizes, there is adequate assurance that a deep lot subdivision will not occur. Lot Lines - Proposed lot lines are approximately aligned perpendicular to the street, which is encouraged by the Subdivision Ordinance. Utilities & Easements - The property is served with all utilities (gas, electricity, water, telephone) which are contained within the Corriente Road right-of-way. The title report and submitted tentative map do not indicate there are identifiable easements on the property. A 30 foot wide common ingress and egress easement is proposed across parcel 2 for the driveway. Grading & Drainage - A preliminary grading and septic system plan, prepared by a registered civil engineer, has been submitted with the application. The plan indicates the use of the relatively flat knolls as the location for future three bedroom residences and adjacent moderately sloped areas for septic leach fields. The Building Division has indicated the septic design 3 000(1?2 and percolation rates are consistent with current city standards. Due to the moderate grade of the knolls, they are suitable building location choices which will require minimal amounts of grading to accommodate a structure. And as indicated in the project description, the common driveway follows an existing graded driveway which will limit the amount of cut/fill and the number of curb cuts along Corriente Road. To further reduce the amount of driveway grading impacts, staff recommends the paved surface width be reduced to 12 feet with a 4 foot shoulder opposite the proposed A/C curb. Review of the driveways' drainage design indicate the need for sedimentation and erosion control measures. Staff recommends, due to the lack of referenced improvements, an energy absorbing structure located mid-point along the driveway length to reduce. the velocity of storm water runoff. A second structure (trap) should be located at the bottom of the driveway to control sedimentation, debris, and the velocity of runoff water prior to entering Corriente Road. Generally, the amount of proposed grading for the residences and the access driveway is not that much greater than if the lot was to contain only one structure. Tree Protection - The areas proposed for the residences, driveways, and septic systems are in open clears outside of native tree canopies. The only exception is the lower building site which has a 48 inch native White Oak tree which has been indicated to be retained by the applicant. To ensure the health and longevity of this specimen oak tree, future development can be located outside of the canopy. Given the buildable area (slopes less than 20%) is well in excess of 10,000 square feet surrounding the tree, it is apparent the tree canopy should not conflict with a sensitively design residence. Interdepartmental Review - The responses from the other agency review (see Attachment F - Conditions of Approval) indicate that with conditions the project complies with the standards of the Fire and Public Works Departments and the Building Division. CONCLUSIONS: Staff believes that the proposed two lot subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions of the General Plan and the Atascadero Municipal Code, and that the proposed project can be approved subject to the attached conditions and stated findings (see Attachment G - Findings of Approval) .

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 91-009: Application filed by Andrew and Traci Young (Cuesta Engineering, representative) to subdivide one lot of 8.21 acres into two parcels each at 4. 1 acres, for single family residential use. Subject site is located at 9300 Corriente Road. Robert Malone presented the staff report which focused on issues which included the General Plan Update and how this application may be affected, minimum lot size criteria, depth to width relationship, utilities and easements, grading and drainage, etc. He noted that, upon field verification, staff determined that the clay is soft within the swale and there appears to be possible drainage impacts which would adversely affect the leach field in this area. Staff would recommend that the leach field be relocated to other areas of the site; it was determined that there are more appropriate areas on the site which can accommodate leach fields allowing them to be moved out of the swale. Commission questions and discussion followed. Commissioner Waage asked if the perc rates would be the same for other areas on the site. Mr. Malone indicated three areas that staff proposed that are moderately sloped which can meet the requirements and appear to be well drained. Further, staff would recommend that the leach fields be at least 50 feet from the centerline of the swale. Discussion and clarification followed. - Public Testimony - Andrew Young, applicant, noted his concurrence with the Conditions and added that he is in the process of drawing up house plans for his residence on Parcel #1. Deborah Hollowell with Cuesta Engineering, representing the applicant, addressed the issue of septic systems on the site. It was her feeling that the system areas designated on the plan are the appropriate ones that will guarantee adequate system area; the systems will be located downhill of the residential sites. Ms. Hollowell stated that the surface soil materials are clay-like but noted this reflects the surface condition; the systems will be four to five feet deep. In addressing the drainage, Ms. Hollowell pointed out that the area proposed for the septic system for the lower site is a "bowl" and not a swale. It will take the general drainage through that area but it is not a flow that would necessitate setting the system back 50 feet from a predominant flow line. Ms. Hollowell further stated that any concerns about runoff over the subsequent leach field can be addressed with standard grading provisions which already exist in the ordinance. 000005 PC 1/7/92 - MINUTES EXCERPT • In responding to Chairperson Luna' s comment that the perc tests seem to have all been taken in the swale area, Ms. Hollowell noted that the general area above the road is too small to accommodate a full system. There would be terrain problems above the road. Commissioner Johnson inquired whether a material analysis was done of the material where the leach field would go. Ms. Hollowell responded that there is a clay factor to all soils in that general area which are not fast perc rates but are well within standard system design rates. She stressed that if there is a genuine cause for concern for runoff, it could be handled with diversion either by the road or something similar to a top of cut swale to protect it. Further discussion ensued. Robert Cardillo, 9400 Corriente, read a statement (Attachment A) explaining reasons for being in opposition to the proposed lot split. Mr. Cardillo expressed agreement with staff on their determination that the proposed leach field locations are inappropriate. Dorothy McNeil, 8765 Sierra Vista, noted her concern with failing septic systems of this type and location. Frank Henderson, 9205 Balboa Road, stated that he has been responsible for a good deal of work in developing this general area, and noted that this lot split is completely out of character for that area. He stressed that there needs to be more consideration taken with this proposed lot division. Mike Olsten, 9600 Sausilito, stated that his property adjoins the subject lot and expressed his opposition to the project. Deborah Hollowell addressed various points raised by the previous speakers. With regard to the five minute response time issue, she pointed out that no official action has yet been taken by the Council. Ms. Hollowell emphasized that the adjoining property owners split their lots under the same "rules" that the applicants now hope to divide their property in conformance with. Ms. Hollowell further stated that the designated home sites in Atascadero Highlands is a sales tool only. It was her feeling that the neighbors do not have adequate justification to say they were there first. Mr. Henderson expressed more comments in objecting to the project. 0000A6 PC 1/7/92 - MINUTES EXCERPT Andrew Young voiced disappointment on the comments made by some of the speakers. He pointed out that he has owned this property prior to Lot 3 having been split and noted that the Cardillos had their house built right up against their property line. Mr. Young stated that the proposal is acceptable. Mr. Cardillo emphasized that he does not have a personal vendetta against the applicants; that he is just stating the facts as outlined in his letter. - End of Public Testimony - Commissioner Waage expressed his feeling that perhaps larger lots should require a larger setback. He noted that he has a problem with the proposal as .it is out of character with the surrounding neighborhood. He disagreed with the determination that a flag lot would not be created with this subdivision. Chairperson Luna added that although the subdivision is not creating a flag lot because Lot 1 doesn't sit behind another lot, because of the steepness of the access road that would be necessary, that basically it is a flag lot. If flag lot standards were incorporated, it would result in subtracting from the minimum lot size so the lot sizes would be below the required 4.08 lot size. Chairperson Luna also noted that he finds it difficult to vote for approval when the proper perc tests (for other leach field locations) have not been done. If all tests were done in the swale and it does not perc and the Regional Water Quality Control Board were to become involved, then the City stands to be admonished for approving a lot split that is marginal, and added that he could not support the request. Commissioner Hanauer spoke in opposition to Commissioner Waage' s and Chairperson Luna' s comments, and emphasized that the City has an existing ordinance and whatever changes may occur to it is irrelevant with regard to this proposal. He noted that he is bothered by the fact the Commission, as laymen who have no professional ability in the engineering field, advise that the perc tests are probably inadequate. Commissioner Johnson concurred with Commissioner Hanauer; he could not see where the perc tests could be conceived as inadequate. The perc rates are within the allowable limits. He added that there are setback requirements on any lot; if a person chooses to build close to his lot line, this should not preclude a neighbor from utilizing their property in the way they feel fit. As well, it is not fair to deny a subdivision as lot as it has met all applicable requirements. 000(13'7 PC 1/7/91 - MINUTES EXCERPT • Commissioner Lochridge expressed his opinion that this decision is a difficult one; the applicant has complied with the necessary requirements regardless of how the Commission may feel the adequacy of the General Plan is. He did note concern with the access to the parcels adding that Parcel 1 is as close to a flag lot as is possible but by definition of the law, the parcel is not a flag lot. Commissioner Lochridge suggested that proper identification and addressing should be incorporated within the Conditions for safety and identification purposes. He stated that he empathizes with the Cardillo's concerns but under the existing guidelines, that is the elbow room that the City can provide. In response to question by Chairperson Luna, Mr. DeCamp explained if the map is. approved, only the land is being subdivided; this is not a vesting map but shows only one potential development scenario. Commissioner Lochridge emphasized that a property owner' s right as to where he wants to build his house cannot be taken away. He would hope that the two property owners can come to some sort of compromise. Commissioner Kudlac echoed that this is a difficult decision. He said that he cannot tell people that they can or cannot build or block a view. He noted that Commissioners Lochridge, Johnson, and Hanauer had all made valid points in support of the project. Commissioner Waage referenced the depth to width ratio with regard to General Plan policy and noted his feeling that to divide this lot would be detrimental to the adjacent property. Commissioner Johnson disagreed pointing out that even without the lot split, the house could still be built on the lower portion of the lot. The fact that there are limited building sites is a guarantee that no lots will be allowed to further subdivide in the future. MOTION: By Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commis- sioner Hanauer to approve Tentative Parcel Map 91-009 based on the Findings and subject to the Conditions of Approval contained in the staff report. Commissioner Lochridge questioned whether the motion includes a condition to address proper identification. Mr. DeCamp noted that this assurance can be provided through the building permit process but the Commission has the discretion to add it as a condition. Motion was amended and seconded to include a condition to read: 0000AS PC 1/7/92 - MINUTES EXCERPT 117. A ref lectorized house number master sign shall be located at the intersection of the street and accessway, and individual reflectorized address signs shall be placed on the right hand side of the driveway to each individual lot.

RECOMMENDATION: This is an information item only. BACKGROUND: The Recycling Committee worked diligently on preparing the Integrated Waste Management Plan for the City. Nearly all of the components of the plan, less mandatory garbage collection, have been implemented over this past year. With the various recycling programs underway, the Committee has been concentrating on public education and awareness projects. Attached is a report prepared by the Committee discussing this past year's achievements and • outlining future programs and activities. DISCUSSION: Also attached is a proposed mid-year budget request for your evaluation. The Committee will be seeking a budget increase at the budget review hearing February 25th. • 000053 City of Atascadero Recycling Committee Report To The City Council The Recycling Committee is pleased to report that many goals set by the committee when it was established in 1989 were accomplished this last year . We as a committee envisioned Atascadero ' s solid waste program to be the most comprehensive program possible for our area. After much research and debate, a proposal was sent to the council for review. We realized the need for changes in our solid waste disposal practices would require a complete change in our current garbage collection program. The council supported our recommendations and approved implementation of the planned programs early last year. Soon after approval , Project Green Sweep , a pilot green waste program was implemented and the volume based rate structure for garbage collection was initiated. This new rate structure gave our residents the option to pay for the amount of garbage they produced. As a result, 61% of Wil-Mar residential customers chose to dispose of one can of garbage weekly and 39% chose to utilize the 90 gallon waste hauler . Committee members helped to kick-off the Green Waste and • Curbside Recycling programs with advertising campaigns and public information seminars. The Green Waste program diverted 149 tons of waste from the landfill in 9 months of operation. The Curbside Recycling program diverted 91 tons of waste in December , the first month of operation. Throughout the year public education has been a top priority for the committee, and has been addressed in a variety of ways. The recycling committee assisted with the development of informational brochures for both green waste and curside recycling programs . These were mailed to Wil-Mar customers before the implementation of the- programs. A recycling education booth was set up at several community events throughout the year , such as Earth Day celebrations , Colony Days events and some school programs . Our intent was to reach all Atascadero residents and inform them of the new programs and other recycling alternatives. A Logo and Mascot contest was held last summer to kick-off public awareness for the curbside program. As a result, "Recycle Roo" was adopted, and has become the mascot for Atascadero recyclers . She can now be seen on the recycling truck , advertisements and in a bi-weekly Atascadero News column. The newspaper column was a brainstorm of some committee members as a method to answer recycling questions and inform the public of recycling issues . All committee members contribute articles for the column. Other means to increase public awareness 000054 included purchasing "recycling" videos for our local library and committee members making presentations to local clubs and school classrooms throughout the year . The committee en- dorsed and helped advertise a household pesticide disposal program offered by the County Agricultural Commissioner ' s office last spring. Another successful committee project provided low-cost compost bins and an instruction booklet for backyard composting, another option for green waste. With the help of the CCC, compost bins were constructed inexpensively and offered to the public at the Charles Paddock Zoo. The bins have been very popular and more are being constructed for this year. With the start of the new year comes the time for setting new goals and objectives . The recycling committee continues to place public education -awareness as a top priority for this new year. Understanding and awareness is essential to the success of our recycling programs and waste reduction strategy. The committee will continue to be involved in local events such as the creek side clean-up and other Earth week activities. The portable recycling infor- mation booth that was constructed last fall will be -dis- played at many community events throughout the year. We plan to produce a recycling video for our community and about our • community to be used in presentations to schools and clubs . A revision of the pamphlet Were to Go to Recycle will be completed early this year . This will be used as a handout or mailer to inform residents of local recycling options. Another high priority for this committee is to investigate and promote recycling of commercial waste. A waste auditor program is being developed at this time. Waste auditors will soon be available to evaluate commercial waste and make recommendations to individual businesses in our community. We expect cardboard and waste paper to be the most abundant commercial waste produced. We hope to expand our recycling program to include these items both in com- mercial and residential recyclable pick-up.. Recognizing the need to instill the recycling ethic in youngsters, the Committee wants to establish a recycling cur- riculum encouraging children to reduce, reuse and recycle. We will contact the school board for assistance and direction. The curriculum will be developed by our school/ education sub-committee. Recognizing that most homes have at least some products labeled as hazardous, the Committee plans to research outlets for household hazardous waste. We also want to encourage • avoiding hazardous waste through precycling practices and choosing non-hazardous alternatives . This information will be available at the recycling information booth set up at = 000()x=5 community events throughout the year , our library , and at community presentations. The recycling industry is a rapidly changing one. To ensure that we are encouraging good re-cycling and pre- cycling practices , the Committee plans to track recyclables. It is our goal to find out what materials are being recycled and 'now , where they are being processed, and what the end products are. We want to be sure that what we are encouraging people to buy and use today will be reusable and recyclable, and not end up in the landfill tomorrow. We plan to research and encourage local "cottage industries" to help decrease our dependence on recyclable markets outside our area. Transportation is one of the largest cost factors in determining whether a product is recycled or not. By encour- aging local "cottage industries" , transportation costs could be greatly reduced and more products may become cost effec- tive to be recycled or reused. The items discussed above are projects and goals to be accomplished in 1992 . As in the past years , some projects will be completed , some may not. With issues such as mandatory garbage collection and curbside recycling for a fee still not resolved, the Committee realizes the need for continual education. Our goal to educate our residents and help facilitate the necessary changes in waste disposal • practices will be pursued throughout 1992. In addition , other projects and goals listed above will be pursued to help Atascadero meet the goals set forth by AB 939 , and to make Atascadero a leader in community solid waste management . 0()0(16 ATASCADERO RECYCLING COMMITTEE BUDGET REQUEST FEBRUARY 1 , 1992 - JUNE 30 , 1992 The following budget proposal is a result of setting new goals and objectives by the recycling committee. Increasing public awareness and educating our residents about recycling and waste management is one of our highest priorities, as it has been in the past. We plan to produce a local video showing recycling in our community, mail a brochure to explain some local recycling issues and programs, and begin to address the need for commercial recycling by auditing the commercial waste stream. We plan to subscribe or renew subscription to relevent periodicals in order to stay informed of current recycling and waste management information. Lastely, we plan to continue our Compost Bin Program. This has been a very successful program. The Bins are sold with a composting booklet at our costs to interested residents; therefore all expenses are recovered with this program. We show a remainder of $1800 . 00 in our 1991-92 budget and are requesting an additional $1300 .00 for the remainder of this fiscal year . Please see the following page for an itemized outline of expected expenditures.

BACKGROUND: In the fall of 1990 the County informed the cities that the renewal of their Animal Services Contract would include a substantial increase for their overhead. The increase for Atascadero was $35,000, from $36,000 to $71,000. The City of Paso Robles approached us with the idea of jointly providing our own animal regulation service. The attached memos dated May 21, July 19 and October 22, 1991 detail the progress to date on the effort. The latest 0 revision is that the City of Atascadero will hire and supervise the two positions, instead of Paso Robles, since the Animal Shelter will physically be in Atascadero. Paso Robles will be responsible for purchasing and maintaining the vehicle and handle all the accounting. A five-person governing board has also been added, with two Council Members from each City and one Veterinarian serving as the fifth member. The Board would meet at least once a year to review the program and address policy issues. At this point, Council action is needed to approve the Joint Powers Agreement and authorize the two new positions: Animal Control Supervisor and Animal Control Officer (see attached tentative job descriptions) . Although the positions will be charged to our Police Department, the costs will be fully reimbursed by Paso Robles, which will then charge us one-half of the net costs (after offsetting revenues) for the program -- currently estimated at $57, 000 annually. Under a separate memo, Police Chief McHale will address the issue of the Animal Shelter. 000098 The estimated start date is April 1, 1992. The Animal Control Supervisor is planned to be hired prior to start-up to • assume responsibility for last-minute arrangements. Meetings with local veterinarians and/or interested public groups will be scheduled before then. The City of Paso Robles supports the program and is expected to ratify the same J.P.A. at their February 18 meeting. Looking forward, once the program is up and running, staff suggests that we approach the County regarding assuming responsibility for animal services throughout the North County, including unincorporated areas. This would be more economically practical for both the new J.P.A. and the County (in preliminary discussions with County Staff, they have expressed a willingness to pursue this option) . FISCAL IMPACT Annual net costs have been projected at $57,000 for each City. This is more than we have paid in the past, but considerably less than what we would be paying the County. First year costs should be higher than expected, both because of one- time start-up costs as well as the anticipated County costs (we have continued County coverage while developing our own program) . With Council approval, specific appropriations (and any offsetting reimbursements) will be budgeted in the Police Department. cc: Chief Bud McHale 000099 RESOLUTION NO. 17-92 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO, CALIFORNIA AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF PASO ROBLES TO PROVIDE ANIMAL REGULATION SERVICES.

The impetus for this effort was the County' s decision to literally double our contract , from $36,000 to $71 ,000 annually. Preliminary data suggests the joint effort should be economically viable. With both cities ' endorsement, an Animal Control Officer would be hired, a vehicle purchased and a facility rented to run the program (a site in North Atascadero is being considered) . Accounting for the program would be handled through Paso; recruiting the position would be our responsibility ( the Officer would technically be under contract through the J.P.A. ) . Calls would be dispatched through either Cities ' Public Safety Dispatch Centers. Finally, the program would take over administering the spay/neuter assistance program. The advantages would be to provide both cities with more Animal Control Services for less money than the County would charge. In addition, the joint effort in and of itself may prove mutually beneficial , in that it could lead to other joint ventures. A final issue relates to the possible relationship between the JPA and AFAR. Although this has not been discussed , there should be ways in which both groups could benefit . In terms of timing, Paso is preparing the legal documents for the J.P.A. With Council ' s approval (expected in June) , both Cities will actively pursue working out the details, in order to implement the program as soon as possible. (This might be in early summer , suggesting a short-term contract with the County) . cc: Chief Bud McHale 000vig • M E M O R A N D U M Date: July 19, 1991 To : Council Through: Ray Windsor , City Manager From: Mark Joseph , Administrative Services Director Subject: Update on Animal Control Services This is a follow-up report on Animal Services , especially in response to the July 9 Agenda Item. I received correspondence from Mike Compton (see attached) , which indicates he is moving expeditiously on many of the administrative details. Of particular note is Mike' s memo regarding the nature of the agreement between the two cities. We are also working on the details of renting a shelter in Atascadero for the program' s use. In a related matter , I have met with Daphne Fahsing to discuss a spay/neuter contract . The broad details are that AFAR will supply us with a monthly report showing who has received spay/neuter discounts. This will allow the City to assure the animals are properly licensed . One-half of the total $25,000 amount will be paid at our next check run (July 26) , with the balance in January. It was also noted that the $13,000 for administrative costs would actually cover more than just the spay/neuter program. We discussed applying the excess towards other animal-related services, appropriate to the City (e.g . , public education, liaison calls with the planned joint Animal Control Program, etc. ) . It was made clear that City funds should not go towards animal advocacy or protests . cc : Bud McHale, Police Chief • 00011 C M E M O R A N D U M Date: October 22, 1991 • To: Council Through: Ray Windsor, City Manager. ti/From: Mark Joseph, Administrative Services Director/ 77. Subject: Update on Joint Animal Services Efforts Chief McHale and I met our Paso Robles' counterparts to review updated Animal Control costs. Attached is the latest budget projections, which show our costs will still be less than what the County is charging. The revised costs were based on using two Animal Control Officers (instead of one) , one of which will act as a lead officer. Revenue projections are based on current trends. Both Cities have agreed to split program costs equally. At this point, Paso is drafting a J.P.A. for both Cities to ratify. Certain start-up costs (is. , vehicle, software, facility lease/improvements, etc. ) need to be incurred and an operations manual must be written. Recruitment for the officers will be handled by Paso. We will arrange a meeting with local Veterinarians, in order to explain our efforts and solicit their support. Community groups such as AFAR, will also be briefed. We are looking at a start date of January 1, 1992. Council gave conceptual support for the project back in July. Formal endorsement will come when Council approves the J.P.A. If any Councilmembor has any reservations about the program, are need to know as soon as possible, or staff will proceed to implement the program. c _ � cc: Bud McHale, Police Chief 0001 1 Proposed Budget - Animal Control Rffraghely Seices Animal Control Officer (2) @ City's code enforcement rate 54,750 Part time 3,850 Over time 5,000 fringe benefits @ 44% - 25,400 89,000 :.w _ .....: .

Date: 2/11/92 From: Mike McCain, Acting Fire Chief SUBJECT: Ambulance Service RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council appropriate a not-to-exceed amount of $1,500 for the city's share of a review of the existing EMS program. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: As you are aware, the County Board of Supervisors is currently re- evaluating and possibly restructuring the -current emergency medical response plan pertaining to ambulance service in our County. The County has taken this approach to investigate the current plan, at the request of cities in the county, after the SLO County Fire Chiefs Association advised the cities that there are a number of problems and concerns that have developed since the inception of our current Emergency Medical Response Manual (EMRM), which was adopted in 1976 and regulates-ambulance service in our county. Some of these problems are: s No local control Standards of care not established Levels of service not well defined No input/process for change Duplication of service These are just a few of the, concerns cities and Fire Chiefs have over the issue of ambulance providers in our county. The committee established between City Managers and Fire Chiefs is representing our City to the best of its ability, however, in addition I recommend our City participate in any study that, might help the committee to provide input to the Board of Supervisors for final approval. 00011 8 REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: AMBULANCE SERVICE PAGE 2 Topics being studied: 1) There are cities in this County that are studying the possibilities of providing their own ambulance service. 2) Cities are also considering charging for paramedic service. 3) Also, cities are investigating the implementation of paramedic fees to their cities by a prepaid subscription charge for ambulance and paramedic service. (See attached news article from the L.A. Times.) I recommend our City participate with other cities in these studies, or initiate studies of our own, so we can provide the best possible advanced life support service possible to our community and at the same time, try to recover some of the costs involved in doing so. Further, I would suggest we participate with the Cities of San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach and Morro Bay in an evaluation of the County's suggested plan in order to determine the best course(s) of action for our communities. In this regard I am attaching a copy of San Luis Obispo's recommendation to Council, which includes background information. According to Mark Joseph, our portion of such a study would not exceed $1,500. This is a not an indepth study, but a professional opinion utilizing data gathered from existing studies and records as to whether transporting would be viable for our city. If it was of the opinfdn that transporting would be viable, then an indepth plan would be warranted. Under the circumstances: in my opinion this would be the most cost effective and consistent way to approach this historic problem over county-wide ambulance service, and the growing issue of EMS reimbursement for paramedic service that is now provided free of charge. - 000109 FARAMEDIC: OParamedicFees ]?repaid Fees Ride to Rescue Continued from .

OBI @am S 990 Palm Street/Post Office Box 8100 • San Luis Obispo, CA 93403.8100 December 17, 1991 MEMORANDUM To: City Council From: John Du Subject: Amb ervice (see attached memo) The current system of responding to medical emergencies within our community is sometimes referred to as the emergency medical system. In fact is it not a system; it is an approach that has developed over time as a result of incremental, one-step-at-a-time decision making., As a result, within the City we have an inefficient dual response approach whereby the private ambulance company provides transport to the hospital, and bills the patient somewhere around $600-700 for this service, and the City, through the Fire Department, provides the first response medical assistance at the paramedic level to the patient, assists the ambulance personnel with the patient's medical needs, stays with and attends to the patient's medical needs during transport, and the City receives no reimbursement either from the patient or the ambulance provider. On the surface,. it appears to us a situation where City tax dollars are being used to subsidize both a private company and calls for service in other parts of the County. The questions are: Are we as City officials satisfied with this situation? Are citizens paying more than they should for ambulance service? Can the City do anything abbot it? What should the City do about it? My observation is that this issue has never been faced by the City in a straightforward way. My fear is that we are being asked to join a system which will make it virtually impossible for us to make changes in the future. I see that we have a very narrow "window of opportunity" to explore this situation. My belief is that we need more than in-house capability to explore this difficult issue of intergovernmental policy and operation. Therefore I concur with the ._Fire Department's recommendation to retain a well-qualified and experienced consultant in this area, to perform a relatively quick "reconnaissance study" as a guide to City discussions and decision making in this area. The cost of the evaluation will be within my approval authority and funds are available within existing Fire Department resources. Also, some additional work components may be added to the work scope and funded by other communities who share an interest in this area (e.g. Pismo Beach) . I 'm circulating these two memos now for your review. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me or Bob Neumann. ttc Aa Attachment C. Bob Neumann Jeff Jorgensen Ken- Hampian Jim Gardiner Bill Statler 000 112 December 10, 1991 city of san tuts oBIspo C.A.O. SPECIAL REPORT FROM: Robert F. Neumann, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Ambulance Contract Negotiations RECOMMENDATION: Consider hiring the services of a consultant to review the City's role as a emergency medical care provider and make recommendations as to our legal standing and possible courses of action. HISTORY: Prior to 1976, there existed no organized approach for the delivery of ambulance service to the citizens of San Luis Obispo County. Various cities and districts had individual contractual agreements with ambulance providers and most of the unincorporated areasof the county were served on a first come, first served basis. At the urging of the Grand Jury, the County of San Luis Obispo in 1976, developed a system known as the EMRM (Emergency Medical Response Manual) that provided various zones in the county and allowed for the Board of Supervisors to establish rates. A separate, but related, issue has been the establishment of regulations for those who practice emergency medical care. In the early 1980's the State of California began to regulate standards and regulations for Emergency Medical Service, establishing Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and Paramedic programs. In order to effect these State regulations, the County Health Director established a non-profit board to: develop local standards; train, certify, and monitor quality of care provided by EMT's and Paramedics. This board is known as the Emergency Medical Services Agency (EMSA), and consists of eleven members who represent hospitals, Fire Departments, ambulance service providers, doctors, nurses and the public. It should be pointed out that they are not involved at all with ambulance delivery, but only the training and control of the people who practice emergency medical service in the county. In 1976, the seven cities in the County contractually agreed to allow the County to regulate ambulance services via the EMRM. The provisions of this agreement called for automatic renewal every five years unless a city gave one (1) year notice prior to renewal time. In May of 1990, the seven cities all notified the Board of Supervisors that they were no longer happy with the current EMRM system and wished it to be reworked when the contract came due at May of 1991. t The cities took this step at the.urging of the Fire Chiefs Association based on a number of problems and concerns that had developed since the inception of the EMRM in 1976. The field of EMS and ambulance service had grown and changed since 1976. Major points include: • No local control • Standards of care not established 0 Levels of service not well defined. No input/process for change Over two years ago, the City Managers Group established a committee to review ambulance service and emergency medical service as it pertains to cities. This group, consisting of two City Managers and two Fire Chiefs developed a proposal that addressed local and fire service concerns and presented it to the County Health Director and County Administration in January of 1991. vrdll.doe 1 00011; �i�iii�I111!liil�� i�►ii►ii�!�I111 city of san tuts oBIspo C.A.O. SPECIAL: REPORT.: CURRENT SITUATION: With the contract termination of the seven County cities in May of 1991 and the realization on the part of the County that the entire EMRM was outdated, the County Health Director, in the spring of 1991, commenced a study to analyze the local situation. The study was completed in November, 1991. It noted a number of deficiencies and recommended a number of changes to the current system, suggesting that an open competitive bid process-for the delivery of ambulance services be established. The State legislature has been active in this area and has, via the Health and Safety Code, established that the County Health Department should bear the responsibility of implementing and monitoring of these types of systems. Agencies that had systems in place in 1984 were grandfathered into existence, but the development of any new providers or extensions of service since that date, must be approved by the County Health Director. The County Health Director has made a commitment to move forward with the processes of developing a new system and opening it up for competitive bids. He has committed himself to work with the City Managers and Fire Chiefs via the sub-committee to. resolve issues of mutual concern. The SMSA also has concerns and wishes to play an active role in the development of any new system and has scheduled a public hearing in December, 1991, to facilitate making a recommendation to the County Health Director. BASIC ISSUES: 0 Levels of Service Currently, levels of service are not established and should be determined by a board of independent parties.and monitored by the same group. The SMSA cannot be used for this function as there would be a direct conflict of interest from many of the Board members. The EMSA's function is to develop and monitor standards of care; not levels of service and the two issues should not be mixed. This has been a problem in the past. • Local Control vs Regionalization t The cities are inherently different from the County. We have different needs ar)d expectations of an ambulance system. Many cities have chosen to have an increased level of care (Paramedics) and we must be allowed to continue that option. Local Fire Departments with existing infrastructure in place for fire suppression can deliver ambulance service ver)r efficiently. Cities should be allowed the opportunity to develop this service within their Fire Departments. 0 Public vs. Private Sector Providers A significant duplication of service exists between Fire Department and Ambulance service Paramedics. Fire Department medics are already travelling to the hospital approximately 75% of the time in order to satisfy transfer of care requirements. Issues of liability, infectious disease exposure, equipment costs, and insurance requirements have already been handled by Fire Departments as a necessity. Billing systems can be handled by subcontractors, hospitals, or by augmenting existing staff levels. vrdll.doc 2 0001'24 city of san tins oBIspo C.A.O. SPECIAL REPORT • Qpen Competitive Bidding Process Most all agree, with the exception of the current providers, that an open competitive bidding process should be developed. This county is in violation of numerous laws with the current system and really has no long-term protection from failure of the provider. Currently, there appears to be some degree of jeopardy as nothing is in existence which would prevent a new provider from starting a service at any time, putting the current at risk. SUAMARY While the County Health Director has indicated a willingness to work with local governments in resolving many of our concerns, it is doubtful that local agencies will be allowed total flexibility in designing a new system. If the County Health Director were to allow the cities to expand their role, the next logical step would be the development of transportation capabilities by Fire Departments. A major concern to the County in this regard is the fact that additional transporting agents might increase the cost of service to the unincorporated areas of the County. Currently, the Cities, to some degree, are subsidizing County ambulance service. Of the basic issues which need to be resolved, local control vs. regionalization, will be the most difficult to negotiate. The other three, based on initial discussions with the County, should not pose that much conflict. For a Fire Department to consider entering into the transportation business, it would be mandatory that all aspects of this process be thoroughly explored. In a verbal telephone survey of comparatively sized cities, which are currently involved in transportation of patients, a wide range of programs and ambulance costs were discovered. It should be emphasized that this was a preliminary survey and a more thorough document would need to be prepared if we were to follow this course of action. - As this is a highly complex and far-reaching subject, the Fire Department is recommending retaining the services of a consultant to review our current situation and make recommendations as to our legal standing and possible courses of action. This initial work would be limited in scope and designed to help the Fire Department and City Administrative Staff deal effectively with the County Health Director in establishing the City's interest in this matter. If the County Health Director allows us to expand our role, it would appear prudent at that time to contract with a consultant for the purpose of designing a viable ambulance transporting system for;he City of San Luis Obispo. vrdll.doc 3 AMBULANCE SURVEY ATTACHNffi T #1 A telephone survey was conducted using eight cities with a population close to San Luis Obispo (12,000 - 74,000), who were involved in patient transportation. The following questions were asked: 1. What is your City Population? 2. What is the basic structure of your transportation system? a. Are ambulance personnel safety positions? b. Are ambulance personnel Medics? C. Are ambulance personnel part of the firefighting force? d. What do they do for a backup ambulance? e. Where do they get funding? f. What is the bill collection rate? 3. Does your city have Paramedic engine companies? Individual cities reported back as follows: CATHEDRAL, CITY - Personnel that operate the ambulance are safety personnel who are Paramedics and are part of the firefighting force. They have medic engines and charge a flat rate of$285 ALS or BLS, and have a 60% collection rate. If they need a backup ambulance, one from a private company is used. INDIO - Personnel that operate the ambulance are safety personnel who are Paramedics and are part of the firefighting force. They do not operate ;Paramedic engines. To help with costs, they ,:charge a 3% utility fee to households. The _ average charge is $400 for AIS response, with a collection rate of 60%. They use a reserve unit as a backup and if more ambulances are needed, a private ambulance is called. z. t TRUCKEE - Personnel that operate the ambulance are safety personnel who are Paramedics and are part of the. firefighting force. They do not operate Paramedic Engines. A base rate of$172 is charged plus mileage and ALS. The average call is about $400. The local hospital does the money collection (5% fee) with about a 92% collection rate. If another ambulance is needed they have mutual aid with other Fire Departments. pjW.doc l 0001l if; NAVATO - Department ambulance personnel are safety personnel who are Paramedics and are part of the firefighting force. They have a backup ambulance and will call a private ambulance, if needed. They do not use Paramedic engines. To help,with costs, the City collects a square foot tax per residence and only charges non-residents for medical service. Cost averages about $230 for ALS calls. A collection rate figure was unavailable. VACAVILLE - Vacaville uses Paramedic safety personnel that are part of the firefighting force.who operate their transporting vehicle. If they need a backup ambulance, a private one is called. Vacaville does not have medic engine companies. To help fund the program, the City collects 3 cents/$100 assessed value on residences and then charges a patient fee. Residents pay $288 BLS and $344 ALS, non-residents pay $395 BLS and $510 ALS. The city averages 60-80% collection rate. SONOMA - Department ambulance personnel are safety personnel who are Paramedics and are part of the firefighting force. If a backup ambulance is needed, personnel are called back. A unit from the City of Petaluma can be used if available and a unit from a private ambulance company can be used. The City of Sonoma does not utilize Paramedic engines. To help with costs, the City has a yearly subscription rate of $35 peri household which gives you a lower rate f _ambulance service is needed. The cost runs $270 for BLS and $430 for ALS.. Non-subscribers and non-residents pay approximately $320 for BLS .and $650 for ALS. One feature of the subscription program is that the City is able to bill subscribers' insurance company directly. The City has a 65% collection rate at the present time. SAN C - San Clemente has a hospital within its city limits and has been transporting for years. The ambulance is manned with non-sworn EMT-I's- For backup, mutual aid has been arranged with Orange County for three additional ambulances. To help fund this, the City has a subscription program charging residents $50 a year per house. There is a fee schedule dependent on resident non-subscriber, non-resident, BLS or AIS. The medics are on the engines and go to the hospital in the ambulance if the incident is AIS. pjs46.doc 2 000 1�''' PETALUMA - Firefighter Paramedics are sworn safety personnel and are part of the department firefighting who operate the ambulance. If additional ambulance is needed, one is requested from a private company. The department charges $600-$700 plus mileage for ALS, $200-$300 plus mileage for BLS on calls within the city limits. The. ambulance unit can be responded outside the city. If this happens the department can-charge more or they will receive a subsidy from the county. The person questioned was unable to tell us the collection rate. The cities contacted who do EMS transporting were very positive about the program. They cited less personnel problems with ambulance companies, more scene control, and good public relations. On the negative side, it was mentioned that personnel were committed to every calland no transferring of Basic Life Support calls was permitted to private ambulance companies. pjs46.doe 3 0001;;8 REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL CITY OF ATASCADERO Agenda Item: D-5(A&B) Through: Ray Windsor, City Manager Meeting Date: 2/11/92 From: Alicia Lara, Personnel Coordinate/_ SUBJECT: Amendment adding the Military Service Credit Benefit to the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) Contract RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution and ordi- nance amending the PERS contract to include the Post-Retirement Survivor Benefit for Miscellaneous employees and Safety employees.
