Off-site Beer and Wine Sales License Determination
PLN 2008-1288
8550 EI Camino Real, Suite B
(Washburn / Thammuenyong)
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt Draft Resolution A finding that public convenience would be served by
allowing the issuance of an off-sale beer and wine license for a new market located at
8550, Suite B, EI Camino Real.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant is planning to open a new food market in a vacant commercial building at
8550 EI Camino Real. He has applied through ABC for an "off-sale beer and wine license"
in order to sell beer and wine for off-site consumption.
The site is zoned (CS) Commercial Service within the (SC) Service Commercial land use
designation. Food and beverages retail sales are permitted as an allowable use in this zone
under current zoning standards.
Section 23958.4 of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act requires the local governing body of
the area to determine that the license will serve public convenience or necessity. This
process is only required when it is found that "Undue Concentration" of liquor licenses exists
within the area. In this case, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has
determined that there is an undue concentration of liquor licenses within the area and that a
determination from the local governing body (City Council) will be required. The ABC
standards allow up to five off-sale licenses within Census Tract 0125.03. Currently, there
are eight off-sale licenses within the census tract, and therefore ABC requires a finding of
public convenience or necessity in order to issue a new license.

Staff Report— Fire Department
Weed Abatement — Awarding of Contractor Bid
RECOMMENDATION:
Council authorize the City Manager to execute the contract with Travis Hansen dba
Hansen Bros Custom Farming for weed abatement.
DISCUSSION:
A legal notice, inviting sealed bids, was printed in the Atascadero News and The
Tribune from April 10 through April 16, 2008.
A total of 27 Invitations to Bid were distributed, and three bids were received. This bid
for the weed abatement contract was opened on Monday, April 21, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.
The low bid submitted by Littlejohns Landscaping did not meet the minimum
requirements, so therefore Staff recommends awarding the bid to Travis Hansen dba
Hansen Bros Custom Farming, the second lowest bidder.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. Funds are budgeted, annually, to cover the costs of the weed abatement
program, and are recovered through assessments on property tax bills of those parcels
abated.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council can reject the bid and re-bid the contract. This alternative is not recommended
because it would not allow the appropriate time to enter assessments on the 2008-2009
tax roll.

Chief Jim Mulhall
Atascadero Chief of Police
5505 El Camino Real
Atascadero, CA 93422
Dear Chief Mulhall:
Atascadero State Hospital (ASH), at the behest of the Department of Mental Health
(DMH), is requesting modification of the Atascadero City's Smoking Ordinance to include
the proposed language attached. It is DMH's intent to ban smoking in and out of doors
at all of its state hospitals.
Currently, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation bans smoking at
all of its 33 facilities. Most county jails throughout the state also prohibit smoking. The
Department of Public Health (formerly Health Services), charged with enforcing health
regulations, will not allow state hospitals to ban smoking in its facilities. Regulations
require that long term care facilities, a category in which state hospitals are included,
provide designated smoking areas for the facility's residents.
In a case involving a long term care facility within the San Jose City limits, a superior
court ruled that the San Jose City ordinance on smoking trumped the Health Services'
regulation. The San Jose City ordinance is very similar to the language we are
proposing to modify the Atascadero City ordinance on smoking.
I respectfully request that Atascadero City Council consider modification of the
Atascadero City ordinance on smoking. If implemented, this will allow ASH to
successfully ban smoking throughout the facility. This ban on smoking would be
extremely beneficial to all non-smokers, staff and patients alike within the facility, as well
as improve the health of the smokers and reduce costs associated with housekeeping,
maintenance, supervision, and health care.
Sincerely,
JON DE MORALES
Executive Director

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report- Administrative Services Department
Mid-Year and Mid-Cycle Budget Revisions
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council.-
1.
ouncil:1. Adopt Draft Resolution A amending the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 fiscal year budgets.
2. Adopt Draft Resolution B approving a Proposition 1 B Local Streets and Roads Funding
Proposal and accepting Proposition 1 B funding from the State of California Department
of Finance to be used on eligible transportation projects within the City of Atascadero.
3. Approve staff budget actions taken and adopt the fiscal policies as described in this staff
report.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF:
Economists are all in agreement that the state is in a period of economic downturn. The
predictions of how deep and how long this fiscal dip will last vary widely. Staff believes, based
on well respected research and key economic indicators that the City may continue to
experience a troublesome economy for the next several years at least. Analysts indicate that
the State economy will slowly begin to regain strength toward the end of the next year, and
Atascadero, with its location and unique economy of its own, tends to lag slightly behind current
trends.
The Council's effective foresight in adopting sound policy has enabled the City to maintain
stability through these difficult times. For the last ten years, the Council has held tight to the
fiscal strategic plan that provides for downswings in revenues by putting money aside in good
times and then using some of that money during cyclical periods of economic slowdowns. This
policy allows for stable operations and continuity in service to the community, and ensures long-
term financial sustainability to the organization. Atascadero has been able to maintain status
quo while the State and some neighboring cities are immediately facing severe cuts. As
agencies experience these periodic cutbacks, the importance of rainy-day policies becomes
more evident. Similar polices have been adopted in cities across the State and Governor
Schwarzenegger has recently recommended such a policy at the State level to help solve some
of California's budget concerns.
During the current fiscal year, the City's expenses were budgeted in excess of the City's
revenues, so some of the money saved up from previous boom years has been used to
supplement operations. This is known as deficit spending, and it is a planned and integral part
of the City's fiscal policy. Ups and downs in the economy have consistently appeared
throughout the City's history, and deficit spending of the reserves is meant to be an effective
short-term tool for sustainability in the tight years and is done in conjunction with a long-term
financial plan. However, deficit spending is akin to withdrawing money from a personal savings
account. Although the City has done a good job in funding the reserve account, if used
excessively, that account will eventually run out.
As of this moment, the City is in a good financial position. The General Fund essentially has
$11 million in the bank, well more than needed to cover the budget deficit for this year and next.
Although budgets are tight and there isn't enough money to complete all of the projects the
community desires, overall services are being provided, road repair progress is being made,
and City fiscal obligations are being fulfilled. Unfortunately, the City won't be in a positive
financial position indefinitely. The combination of the economic downturn and other financial
trends will cause the City to be on a negative fiscal trajectory.
Staff currently projects that cash flow reserves will have to be tapped in the second year of the
next two-year budget cycle, or 2010-2011 and that General Fund Reserves will completely run
dry two years after that. Just as you wouldn't wait to apply for a personal loan until your bank
account ran to zero, the City should not wait to make positive changes until its account runs to
zero. Positive changes to the bottom line don't necessarily have to be drastic. They often come
in the form of day-to-day policy decisions that can have lasting effects, whether it is about not
implementing new programs or approving economic development of some sort. The daily
decisions that are made on Tuesday nights form, to a great degree, the basis of the City's
bottom line.
DISCUSSION:
In the face of any economic downturn and negative financial trajectory, there are a number of
questions that need to be asked and answered.
"What is the current status of revenues and expenses?"
"How much is there in reserves?"
"How long can the City last?"
"Is this downturn cyclical or permanent?" General Fund Revenues
"What has been done?"
"What can Council do now?"
It is important that everyone understand the
answers to these questions, to make both the
policy decisions and the day to day decisions
that affect our financial future.
What is the Current Status of Revenues '
and Expenses? # '
Revenues
Recent changes at the State have shifted
revenues from State sources to property taxes.
Forty percent, or $7.6 million, of General Fund
revenues now come from property related
taxes, leaving the City heavily reliant on the
ups and downs of property tax revenues. Sales tax was projected to come in at 21%, or almost
$4 million of the $19 million General Fund pie, while development should bring $1.7 million, or
10%.
Positive/
(Negative) News has not been favorable for these key
Variance from General Fund revenues. Preliminary estimates of
Budget General Fund revenues predict a shortfall
Supplemental& Property Transfer Tax $ (200,000) compared to budgeted figures of$970,000, or 5%
Sales Tax (450,000) of budgeted revenues. The variance is not

The State, in efforts to balance their own budget, swapped out Motor Vehicle in Lieu (MVLF)
revenues for Property Tax revenues. Although this was a dollar for dollar swap decreasing
MVLF and increasing Property Tax revenues, the swap has had lasting effects on General Fund
revenues. The swapped revenues now move up and down with the trends in Property Tax
revenues, rather than with the more stable MVLF revenues. Additionally, Property Taxes now
represent a greater percentage of the total General Fund revenues, causing the City to be all
the more reliant on Property Taxes. This also enlarges the cash flow gap as a greater portion of
revenue is received into the City twice annually, once in December and once in April, rather
than monthly with the MVLF receipts.
The good news is the real estate boom of
recent years gave a boost to the City's Property Taxes by Age of Purchase

Analysis of the City's base shows that 75%

Essentially, this means that 75% of the - E �
Property Tax base is stable and likely to
increase and the other 25% of the base is ¢,
possibly overinflated and has the potential to decrease. Even with aggressive reassessments to
lower values, history has shown that because so much of the pie is subject only to potential
increase, that an overall decrease in the property tax base is unlikely. Instead, staff expects to
continue to see a slowing of the growth in this large revenue source.
Although Current Secured and MVLF revenues totaling $7.7 are coming in as projected for
fiscal year 2007-2008, there is a small component of property taxes that is more volatile.
Supplemental Taxes and Property Transfer Taxes are directly related to the transfer of property
and are thus highly sensitive to changes in the real estate market. A slow real estate market
translates to significantly fewer sales and substantially less Supplemental Tax Revenues and
Property Transfer Tax. Supplemental taxes are predicted to be down 58% from the previous
year causing a $142,000 shortfall from budgeted revenues, and Property Transfer Taxes are
down 31% from the previous year, adding an additional $50,000 to the shortfall.
Sales Tax Revenues
($450,000) net decrease in revenues for fiscal year 2007-2008
($850,000) net decrease in revenues for fiscal year 2008-2009
Sales Tax Revenues, which are roughly one-fifth of the General Fund Revenues, are down
across the State, but Atascadero was particularly hard hit because its Sales Tax Base is not
broad. In other words, a large portion of Sales Tax Revenue comes from a few retailers in
sectors that have been hit hard. Since calendar year 2001, the City's top two sales tax revenue
producing industries have been Building/Construction and Autos/Transportation. Lack of
consumer confidence, the soft housing market, and ever increasing fuel and energy rates have
caused reductions in these two sectors. Fourth quarter 2007 adjusted Sales Tax Revenues
were down 9.3%.
The deflation in the real estate industry has influenced the Building and Construction industry. It
is one of the hardest hit sectors of the economy, dropping 11.6% from 4th quarter 2006 to 4th
quarter 2007. Uncertain of future values, consumers are reluctant to invest much toward

The Energy Information Administration said on March 31, 2008, the average U.S. retail price for
gasoline set a new record of $3.29 a gallon, up 3% from the prior week level and a 58% rise
from a year ago. These high fuel prices have led consumers to seek more-fuel efficient autos,
leading to weakening sales in SUVs and trucks. Ford Motor Company nationwide truck and
SUV sales dropped 16 percent during March 2008 versus March 2007, and Ford's nationwide
sales on all products fell 12% during 2007. Our community is unfortunate) not immune to this
p 9 Y Y
decline in sales activity. Atascadero Ford recently announced that it will be closing its doors.
From its high point, this is a loss of $320,000 in Sales Tax Revenues annually. This will have a
significant effect on the City's already lagging Sales Tax Revenues. The combination of the
downturn in Building & Construction sales revenues, along with the closure of the Ford
dealership have forced us to revise our sales tax projections downward by $450,000 in 07-08
and $851,800 in 08-09.
Development Revenues
($750,000) net decrease in revenues for fiscal year 2007-2008
($380,000) net decrease in revenues for fiscal year 2008-2009
Development Revenues have decreased significantly during this fiscal year and last.
Development Revenues are a mirror that reflects the current real estate market. While staff
expected the drop in activity, it came in much sharper than anticipated. There are significant
projects in process that staff anticipated would be completed by the end of the year; however
only 16 single family residence (SFR) permits have been paid and issued in the current fiscal
year, compared to 267 in fiscal year 2005-2006. Although, only 16 SFR permits have been
pulled this year, there is in fact, a large number of permits that have been through the plan
check process and are ready to be paid and picked up. With the economy like it is, developers
and home owners are reluctant to pick them up. The length of time the housing market takes
to rebound varies from cycle to cycle, and is highly dependent on the financial health of the
developers. Based on estimates from a variety of sources, staff anticipates that development
will again begin to pick up in 2010.

Estimated Estimated
In the near term, it is expected that Development Revenues will come in $765,000 lower than
anticipated for fiscal year 2007-2008; however in 2008-2009, the graph above appears to show
that Development Revenues will bounce back to 2006-2007 levels. This is somewhat
misleading, as a significant portion of the Development Revenues predicted to come are from
two one-time sources. Staff is projecting that the Del Rio EIR fees will be received in 2008-
2009. Unfortunately, this large revenue will be mostly offset by a large EIR consultant fee and
associated legal fees. In addition to the EIR revenue, staff is projecting that the City will receive
approximately $150,000 in Plan Check Fee Revenues. These Revenues are related to permits
for which the City has already expended the funds to plan check the permit, however because
the developer has not pulled the permit, the City has not been paid. Although still in the
preliminary stage, staff is looking at a plan where permits that are expired or about to expire
may be extended. It is anticipated that as part of the proposal to Council, there will be some
component whereby developers would have to reimburse the City for the outstanding plan
check fees prior to receiving an extension.
Mutual Aid
($300,000) decrease in revenues for fiscal year 2007-2008
$150,000 decrease to expenditures for fiscal year 2007-2008
The Atascadero Fire Department (AFD) has a contract with the Forestry Service that is the
source of most of the revenues in this category. Because of an unusual fire season in this area
of the State, the Fire Department was not able to provide the expected level of service to the
Forestry Service, causing a shortfall of projected revenues of $300,000 and an offsetting
expenditure savings of $150,000. Since the 2007 Fire season was atypical, a similar event is
not expected to occur again in fiscal year 2008-2009. The $900,000 of revenues and the
$509,890 in expenses budgeted for fiscal year 2008-2009 is expected to be fully realized.
Historic City Hall FEMA and OES Administration Revenues
$ 560,000 net increase in revenues for fiscal year 2007-2008
The City received Administrative funding related to the Project Worksheet (PW) authorized by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on the Historic City Hall project. On large
projects such as City Hall, FEMA grants 2% to the applicant agency, and the Office of
Emergency Services (OES) grants 10% to the applicant agency, for administration of the grant
funds. These funds are issued soon after FEMA's approval of the PW.
Expenditures
With some minor exceptions, General Fund expenditures are coming in as expected. The City
is a service organization. In the current fiscal year (2007-2008), 67% of the General Fund
budget is dedicated to employee costs, while 30% is dedicated to operating expense. The
remaining 3% is dedicated to special projects, capital purchases and debt service.
The City has entered into Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) to establish employee
benefits with the Fire Union through fiscal year 2009-2010 and all other unions through fiscal
year 2008-2009. After fiscal year 2009 for most unions, and fiscal year 2010 for the Fire Union,
labor cost negotiations reopen. There will be constant pressure to keep salaries and benefits
competitive with market rates in the local area. Keeping up with these costs will be a challenge
in the upcoming years in light of the information available today.
Operating costs, which are expected to come in at about $5.7 million, consist of all the ongoing
day to day costs other than employee costs. They include items from postage to contract
services; water bills to recruitment costs; and insurance to vehicle replacement costs. While
the City staff has control over some line items such as office expenses, other costs are subject
to contract, the weather, or other elements that City staff has little control over. Historically,
these costs increase by about 3%, or a little less than $200,000, a year.
When staff realized that the economic downturn was steeper and more severe than originally
expected, budget savings measures were implemented throughout the City. Staff projects that
employee services will end the year $200,000 below the adjusted budget. The combination of
selectively not filling vacant positions in the short-term and the judicious use of overtime saved
$115,000 of the amount, and lower than expected mutual aid labor costs saved the remaining
$85,000.
Staff also expects operating expenses to come in $500,000 under the adjusted budget. Some
of the savings in this category are closely linked to drops in activity levels and include $135,000
reduction in the Community Development budget and $45,000 reduction in the Mutual Aid and
Code Enforcement budget. Other operational savings will come from the Colony Park
Community Center ($80,000) and from the City Manager's office ($130,000). The remainder is
being realized from a general tightening of the belt throughout the City.
There are expenses that have arisen that were not included in the original adopted budget but
will require additional appropriations. Included are such costs as legal fees, labor contracts,
police overtime, and city clerk activity. Thankfully, the costs of these expenses will be offset by
the above described savings. The savings total approximately $700,000, and the changes
requested add up to only $508,000. This leaves the City's expenses with a positive variance of
$200,000 as compared to the originally adopted expenditure amount.
How Much Is There in Reserves?
In its foresight, Council prudently adopted the financial policy to put away enough money in the
good times to carry the City through the bad times. The question is how much was actually put
away and how were the funds to be used?
At the beginning of the fiscal year, the City General Fund Reserves
had $2.2 million of undesignated reserves
which are funds that have not been
earmarked for any specific purpose and are General Fund -undesignated $ 2,170,183
available for Council discretionary spending. Designated for economic uncertainties 1,500,000
The City also had an additional $1.5 million Designated for road projects 445,000
set aside just for downturns such as the one Designated for due from other funds 960,279
the City is facing. These two reserve Designated for cash flow 4,500,000
accounts were intended to be used first in an
economic downturn. There are really little Reserved for advances to other funds 1,375,175

reserves other than the need to replenish Designated for library 52,650
them in time for the next downturn.
$ 11,034,512
Prior to the implementation of the Road
Program, the City also put away $0.4 million to go toward future road programs. It has been left
on the books with the intent that this would be opportunity money. If an opportunity came up
that needed a match or money from the City, this money could be used. In the face of an
economic downturn, staff would recommend using these funds after the Undesignated and
Designated for Economic Uncertainties had been depleted. The cost of using these funds is
that they would be unavailable if an opportunity arose where the City could leverage them.
The City had $1.0 million set aside in an account called Designated for Due from Other Funds.
This represents amounts that the General Fund had loaned to other funds and therefore wasn't
available for general expenditures. Typically, the loan arises because the other fund has a large
capital project that is grant funded. This means that the City must expend the funds and
request reimbursement once the funds are expended. There is usually a several month lag
between when the City must pay out the funds and when the City receives the funds. The
General Fund steps in during this lag and loans funds to keep the project moving. In general,
the amount in the Reserve for Due to Other Funds varies greatly from year to year based on the
number of large grant programs that the City has going. In an economic downturn, the City
could use these funds, by having another fund such as the Wastewater Fund loan these
amounts. However, there is an opportunity cost if the new loaning fund (the Wastewater Fund
in this case) no longer has enough funds to do its own projects or operations.
The City has $4.5 million set aside for cash flows. This is the amount of cash flow the City
needs to get from the beginning of the fiscal year in July through December when the City finally
receives its first Property Tax payment of the year. In a severe economic downturn, the City
can use these reserves. Once the City uses these reserves to cover operations, the City would
have to borrow funds in the spring of each year and pay them back once it receives its property
tax in the winter. The City does have options for borrowing these funds such as participating in
a TRAN (Tax Revenue Anticipation Note) or borrowing from other funds within the City. There
is, however, a cost to borrowing funds: interest expense, issuance costs and lost opportunity
costs are costs that the City will incur with borrowing these funds.
Reserved for Advances to Other Funds makes up $1.4 million of the available General Fund
Reserves. This is the amount that the General Fund has loaned to the Redevelopment Agency
on a long term basis. In a financial crisis, the City could use the reserves to fund City
This would mean that the General Fund would lose a lucrative source of interest
operations.
revenue and the Redevelopment Agency could potentially have to cut projects in order to pay
off this debt. In addition to this, the Redevelopment Agency would have to find another source
for its revolving debt of approximately $500,000.
As important as it is to understand the General Fund Reserves and the ramifications and costs
of dipping into each of the reserve accounts, it is just as important to understand which other
accounts there might be within the City that are legally accessible to the General Fund in order
to meet its operational needs. There are two other sources of potential funds that could be
considered. The first is the CCCSIF workers compensation fund balance and the other is the
internal service account replacement funds.
As of January of this year, there is currently an estimated surplus of $.8 million in the City's
CCCSIF Workers Compensation Fund. Once a year, the City may be either required to make a
deposit to the fund if the City's
balance is negative, or may be given Estimated Internal Service Replacement Funds
the opportunity to request a refund if June 30, 2009
the balance is positive. In
accordance with the City's Building Replacement Funds $ 2.7 million
conservative fiscal policy, the City
has not requested a refund of the Technology Replacement Funds 0.8 million
balance when given the opportunity. Vehicles & Equipment Replacement Funds 1.9 million
Similar to the City's fiscal policy, this $ 5.4 million
allowed the surplus in the fund to be
used to cover years where changes
in the workers compensation claims caused large deficits in the fund. This practice has
smoothed out the City's workers compensation costs.
The City also has amounts set aside for replacement of vehicles, equipment, buildings and
technology. The City has the legal right to transfer these funds back to the General Fund;
however, it is not necessarily prudent to do so. These are akin to a college savings account for
a child. Every year, money is put into the savings account so the child can attend college once
he graduates from high school. A parent may suspend annual contributions in fiscally hard times
and may also dip into the college funds, using them for house payments or other items if the
need becomes critical. Once the fund is dipped into, it becomes doubly burdensome as the
family tries to both replace what they withdrew, and also tries to maintain their annual funding
level in order to have enough for the child to go to college at age 18. Similarly, the City puts
away amounts annually so that as vehicles, computers, software and buildings become old and
no longer function, the City has funds to replace them. These funds are legally available to
transfer back to the General Fund; however, it does not change the time frame that roofs will
have to be replaced or software will no longer be supportable.
How Long Can the City Last?
Now that it is known how much the City has in reserves and other available funds, the question
becomes, "How long can the City last?" There are no definitive answers that one can give to
that question, as this involves predicting the future and the only known when predicting the
future is that the prediction will be wrong. What staff can do is project out the future revenues
and expenses based on best estimate of what changes will occur in the future and what
decisions will be made as that future unfolds. Just by projecting out the future and disclosing
the information, we in fact hope to, and have the ability to, change that future.
Based on current projections, it appears that the City will have used up its Undesignated
Reserves, its Reserves for Economic Uncertainties and its Road Program Reserves by June of
2010. The City will have to borrow funds in 2010-2011 and into the future to meet its cash flow
needs, but will still be in the black overall. Without alterations to our current course, staff
projects that by 2013-2014, General Fund reserves will have completely dried up and budgeted
expenses will still outweigh budgeted revenues.

Staff has made key assumptions in order to project revenues and expenses into the future:
• Current secured property taxes are projected assuming the growth using the following
percentages:
FISCALYEAR PROPERTY TAXASSSUMPTIONS
2008-2009 Assumes 4%growth in Current Secured revenues and MVLF. Assumes continued sharp
fall off of sup lemental and property transfer taxes
2009-2010 Assumes 2%growth in Current Secured revenues and MVLF. Assumes increase in
supplemental and property transfer taxes
2010-2011 Assumes 3% growth in Current Secured revenues and MVLF. Assumes strong increase
in supplemental and property transfer taxes
2011-2012 Assumes 4% growth in Current Secured revenues and MVLF. Assumes strong increase
in supplemental and property transfer taxes
2012-2013 Assumes 5% growth in Current Secured revenues and MVLF. Assumes increase in
supplemental and property transfer taxes
• Sales Tax is projected assuming the following underlying general percentage increases
in future years:
FISCALYEAR SALES TAXASSSUMPTIONS
2008-2009 Generally flat with a slight upward trend toward the end of the fiscal year. This
base was then adjusted downward for the loss of the Ford dealership, Obispo
Pacific and a projected slight continued decrease in Building & Construction.
The base was adjusted upward for the addition of Royer Marine and a
potential future outlet at Mission Oaks in late 2008/early 2009.
2009-2010 Generally an increase of 4%, with an adjustment downward (20% of Home
Depot revenue) in 4th qtr 2009 for the opening of a Lowes in Paso Robles.
An addition to the base was made for a potential tenant in the current Rite Aid
building and an increase was included for the remaining quarters of the
Mission Oaks addition
2010-2011 Generally an increase of 4%, with an adjustment downward in the 3rd qtr of
2010 for Lowes opening, and adjustment upward in early 2011 for
development of commercial pads at the Home Depot Center
2011-2012 Generally an increase of 4%with an adjustment upward for 2 quarters for the
commercial pad at the Home Depot Center.
2012-2013 Generally an increase of 4%
• Any future sales tax revenues for the Colony square project are not included in the
assumptions, however development revenues for construction of the project are
included
• Development revenue is assumed to be slow through 2009-2010 and will pick up in
2010-2011 with continued increases through 2012-2013
• Estimated fees and related expenses for the EIR and Specific Plan at the Del Rio
intersection are included in the projection; however other development fees related to
permitting, sales tax, and property tax are not accounted for
• Development revenues, development expenses, property taxes and any other potential
revenues and expenses related to Eagle Ranch are not included in the assumptions
• TOT Revenue from the Holiday Inn Express, opening this year, is included and it is
assumed that one additional hotel will open within three years.
• Wage increases after the expiration of the current labor MOUs have not been included
in projected expenses
• Minor budget cutbacks implemented in the future are included
• Potential layoffs or program eliminations have not been included in the projection
• Funding for new programs has not been included in the projection
• Funding for NPDES Phase II annual City expenses is assumed at $100,000 a year
starting in 2009-2010
• Discretionary capital and special projects funded from the General Fund are projected
at minimum amounts from 2009-2010 through 2012-2013
Many assumptions are made to project future occurrences. What is obvious today is that there
is over $11 million between now and crisis. The Council's fiscally conservative policy has
bought some time to make the changes necessary to avoid a financial crisis. The time then
buys more options to change the financial future. Every policy decision that Council makes and
day to day decision that staff makes has the potential to change the financial projection for
either the better or the worse.
Is This Downturn Cyclical or Permanent?
The graph to the right depicts the strategic policy the Financial Strategy
Council adopted many years ago. In a typical cyclical
economy, the straight expense line would evenly dissect
the ups and downs of the revenue curve, as shown in
the top graph. However, a permanent downturn would
be more accurately represented in the lower graph.
This graph demonstrates that the portion of the curve
below the expense line (representing the deficit years) is
greater in size than the portion of the curve above the
expense line (representing the boom years). This would Years"

answer to "Is this downturn cyclical or permanent?"
G
Staff believes that there Is a combination of long-term,
short-term and unknown factors at work.
It is clear that the slowing of Property Tax growth and -- - - Years
the drastic decreases in Supplemental Property Taxes — Expenses -- Revenues
and Property Transfer Tax are cyclical trends. These
revenues trend with the California boom or bust real
estate market and history has shown that California real estate may rise and fall, but that there
will continue to be a strong upward trend. There is no reason to believe that this historical
pattern is going to change with this downturn. The question of property tax becomes, how long
will the real estate market be slow and when will the City see the bounce back? Each
economist has their own opinions about when the real estate market will rebound, but the
general consensus seems to be sometime in late 2009. The Central Coast tends to lag about 6
months to year behind the rest of the State, so staff is predicting a slow turn around sometime in
2010. Although the real estate market may begin to turn around in 2010, it may still be a
number of years before Atascadero sees the boom years that were experienced in 1989-1991
or in 2005-2007.
Development has both a cyclical component and a permanent component. Certainly the most
visible portion of development revenue trends is the cyclical portion. As the real estate market
slows, developers are understandably reluctant to develop properties that will not sell in the
slow market. Thus revenues from building permits, plan checking and other development fees
slow to a halt. As the real estate market recovers, and properties once again begin to sell,
developers will again want to develop properties realizing a profit from the real estate boom.
The less visible component of development revenues has to do with the long-term development
of a community which is more akin to a bell curve. As a City heads closer and closer to build
out, there is less and less land that is available for development and as the City eventually
reaches build out, development will slow to just rehabilitation / re-use projects. The means that
although the City may never see the level of development that it has in recent years with the
development of tracts such as Dove Creek, Las Lomas, Apple Valley, De Anza, North EI
Camino, etc., the City will continue to experience upswings and downswings in development
activity with a general downward trend. Ignoring the effect of what is being developed, the net
effect of swings in development revenues should be $0, having no impact on the City's ability to
provide other services to the community. Council has set the development fees so that the cost
of providing the services (building inspections, plan checks, zone changes, etc..) equals the
amount of fees charged to the developer/homeowner; however, there is an inherent timing
difference between when the revenues are received and when the City must provide the
services.
The downward trend for Sales Tax is more difficult to analyze and has the most potential for
change. There are certainly cyclical factors at work such as the downturn in building and
construction materials sales; however, there may be a more permanent factor as well. Losses

Atascadero should expect a decrease of 20% or more. All of these items taken in combination
lead staff to believe that perhaps this downturn in the Sales Tax Revenue is not just cyclical in
nature, but is instead of a more permanent nature, as Atascadero's place in the local economy
is redefined.
What Has Been Done?
The conservative fiscal policy has prepared the City for a few years of economic downturn. The
City is okay for now, successfully paying its bills and fulfilling financial obligations. While these
are signs of effective financial management, they are unfortunately also signs that, without
closer observation, can lull a person into false security. While the City is financially sound now,
it is important that adjustments be made now in order to maintain financial stability. There are in
effect two methods for changing the financial outlook of the City. Either revenues can be raised
or expenditures can be reduced. Staff has taken the following steps, working on both sides of
this equation:
• Reduce Operating Expenses
Staff has reviewed each and every operating expense line item within the budget and
has made cuts. Although no department's budget has been formally slashed, each
department now has new lower "target expenditure amounts" for both 2007-2008 and
2008-2009. These savings will be achieved through a variety of methods such as
deferring purchases, watering less, raising thermostats, and minor decreases in service
levels.
• Education and Communication
Staff has just begun a program where important financial information is disseminated to
employees through budget memos, meetings, e-mails and other means of
communication. It is expected that Finance staff will meet with each department's
employees sometime before the end of May to discuss the financial outlook, what it
means and the areas in which employees can help.
Staff will continue to provide both the Council and the public with information regarding
the City's financial outlook through both the audit and budget process. In addition, as
with the recent Sales Tax numbers, staff will inform Council and the public about
changes to the financial outlook, as staff becomes aware of the changes.
• Fees
It is anticipated that staff will be bringing a fee update to Council in June. The fee
,update will include regular CPI increases, along with adjustments to selected fees so
that fees remain in line with Council's fee policies.
• Economic Development
Council has taken the first steps toward a comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy. It is hoped that this policy which will be formed by the community's vision of
Atascadero will help shape Atascadero's economic future. Additionally, staff continues to
aggressively pursue retail development for existing centers, new hotels, and support of
Colony Square.
• Identification of Potential Program Cuts and Service Level Reductions
Staff is in the process of identifying potential program cuts and service level reductions
in the event that these become necessary. Staff is working with the operating
departments to determine potential areas of service level reductions, the impact on the
community of such reductions and the potential savings from each reduction. These
options will have a direct effect on the community and as such, must be carefully
evaluated prior to implementation. If the economy and the City's financial picture does
not begin to turn around within the next year or two, staff will investigate these strategies
more closely and will bring reduction recommendations to Council prior to
implementation.
• Analyze Fund Balance in CCCS/F Workers Comp Account
Staff is analyzing the pros and cons of withdrawing the CCCSIF Workers Compensation
Fund "surplus" in 2008-2009 and transferring it to the City's General Fund. Staff will
bring a recommendation to Council as part of next year's mid-year budget report.
• Funding of Annual Replacement Reserves
Staff has looked at annual funding of the replacement reserves. Currently, the City puts
enough away annually in replacement reserves to fully fund the replacement of vehicles
and technology equipment when they reach obsolescence. The City also puts away a
significant portion of the amount needed to replace buildings and puts away about
$50,000 a year toward equipment replacement. Staff is looking at the long-term
ramifications of suspending the equipment reserve and the building replacement
reserve. Staff has instituted a policy of holding off on the 2008-2009 replacement
transfers until the mid-year budget adjustments and/or audit are brought to Council in
January.
• Funding of Annual Roads Contribution
The City annually transfers $250,000 of General funds to major road repair projects.
This annual transfer was set up to help the Road Program when there was "excess
revenue" in the General Fund. The original intent was to eliminate this transfer in
periods of economic downturns; however, it is clear that roads continue to be a priority of
the Council and the community. Staff has begun looking at both the long-term and
short-term ramifications of suspending this annual contribution. It is expected that staff
will bring back recommendations as part of the 2009-2011 budget process.
• Hiring Chill
The City Manager has instituted a "hiring chill". This is not a hiring freeze that stops all
hiring, but a softer form that requites management evaluation for each position that
becomes empty due to attrition. The hiring manager, before re-filling that position, would
take a hard look at the position and its contribution to determine if that position is
absolutely necessary in the short run. This saves labor costs in the near term without
the negative and persistent affects of layoffs or hiring freezes. However, it does in effect
reduce service levels since the employee is no longer available to provide the service to
the public.
• Operations Monitoring
The most important step staff has taken is increased monitoring. This allows staff to
regularly update the Council and continuously make necessary adjustments. The staff
has implemented a policy whereby each department or division reviews their revenues
and expenses on a monthly basis to ensure that targets are being met and adjustments
are taking place. More importantly, the entire financial outlook is being reviewed and
adjusted on an ongoing basis so that changes will be caught early and communicated
allowing for adjustments in the financial strategy accordingly.
What Can Council Do Now?
Staff is closely monitoring the situation and as seen above, has accomplished much toward
improving the City's financial condition. Staff has some key recommendations for the Council at
this time. Most of these are generalized recommendations that the Council can consider today
and use as a basis of a new way of thinking about the future.
• Budget Adjustments
Staff recommends that Council adopt the budget adjustments as proposed in the
attachment to this staff report. For the most part, these adjustments to the budget are
necessary to reflect current revenue and expenditures activities.
• Endorsement of Staff Actions Taken
Staff recommends that Council support the actions taken by staff to adjust the financial
outlook of the City.
• Revenue Enhancement
Staff recommends that Council aggressively pursue revenue enhancement options. The
City has some great opportunities on the horizon for economic development including
Colony Square, Holiday Inn Express and some form of development at the Del Rio
intersection. The decisions that the Council makes now will affect our revenues in the
future. If the City's long-term financial outlook does not improve in the next year or two,
only then would staff recommend that the finance committee again look at other more
unpleasant potential revenue enhancement strategies such as increased taxes.
• No New or Expanded Programs
Staff recommends that Council institute a policy of no new or expanded programs. Such
programs should be deferred until the City is in a better economic climate and no longer
budgets at a deficit. It is painfully evident that Atascadero has limited financial
resources. Every project or program that receives appropriations essentially displaces
funding for a handful of other projects or programs, or worse, puts the City in a more
severe deficit situation. Limiting the City's financial commitments to what has already
been obligated will help the City to ease through this time of economic challenge.
• Maintain Regular Daily Operations
Staff recommends that Council upholds the current adopted budget obligations. While
the City's fiscal situation requires constant monitoring and re-evaluation, drastic
modifications are not currently necessary. As discussed earlier, the City has sufficient
funding to fulfill the current budgeted obligations. The assumptions that staff has made
to project the General Fund balance for the next six years will no doubt change as the
future is realized. This is where the constant monitoring and re-evaluation come in. The
more that the City is able to enhance revenues and hold expenses steady, the better the
future years become. The key point is to have an understanding of the City's fiscal
status and how to mold it to become what the community needs.
SUMMARY:
The Council has done an exceptional job in setting strategic fiscal policy that has put $11 million
in the City's General Fund reserves to face current and future economic challenges. After
analysis of the data available, staff is confident in the City's ability to fulfill current financial
obligations and maintain the programs and service levels in the adopted budget. However, staff
predicts that if the City stays on its current charted course of revenues and expenditures, it will
begin to have severe financial difficulties by fiscal year 2013. Staff has enacted proactive
measures to reduce expenditures and increase revenues where possible, closing the deficit
gap. Council can further ward off impeding fiscal crisis by enacting policy to pursue revenue
enhancement and disallow any new or expanded programs and service levels. The future
brings challenges, no doubt, but, working together, the Council, the staff and the public can
explore and utilize the many options and tools available to find the solutions that will yield a
community we can all be proud of.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$970,000 net decrease in General Fund revenues and $368,540 net increase in General Fund
expenditures for fiscal year 2007-2008
$1,680,000 net decrease in General Fund revenues and $452,780 net increase in General Fund
expenditures for fiscal year 2008-2009
$446,790 increase in revenues for other funds and $103,120 increase in expenditures for other
funds for fiscal year 2007-2008
$545,000 increase in revenues for other funds and $575,730 increase in expenditures for other
funds for fiscal year 2008-2009
ALTERNATIVES:
Council has the option to add or delete any budget item. This will decrease or increase the
remaining reserve balance at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009 by the amount adjusted.
Council could also choose to allocate the Proposition 1 B funds to an alternate project, however
this action would produce a funding shortfall in the 2006/2007 Road Rehabilitation Project.
Finally Council can choose to change, add or delete any of the fiscal policies suggested by staff.

Description of Proposed Budget Adjustments
Salaries and Benefits
$135,630 for fiscal year 2007-2008 of General Funds; $4,120 in other funds
$158,100 for fiscal year 2008-2009 of General Funds; $2,960 in other funds
The City pays salary and benefit rates based on the Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs)
with the different bargaining groups. At the time the budget was adopted on June 12, 2007, the
MOUs for fiscal years 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 had not yet been approved and finalized.
Staff completed budget estimates for labor costs based on the preliminary MOUs. The MOUs
were adopted at a rate that was different than was anticipated in June 2007, creating the budget
variance. The original labor budget for the General Fund was adopted at almost $13.2 million.
The adoption of the MOUs after the passage of the budget added an additional $135,000 to that
labor figure. The City has experienced some savings due to vacancies and reduced activity
levels, but will need to increase the budget for the MOU adjustment.
Police Staff Overtime
$85,000 for fiscal year 2007-2008 of General Funds
Police staff overtime has exceeded the budgeted amount by $85,000. Atascadero Police
Department has a terrific recruit program that generates career interest in individuals new to law
enforcement. The program assists in training the recruits to potentially fill police officer
vacancies. While this program has been very successful, the Police Department must bear the
labor costs, including those costs for overtime. Additionally, other overtime costs are incurred
as officers and police staff are spending more time keeping peace at public meetings and
keeping our streets safe.
Legal
$226,310 for fiscal year 2007-2008 of General Funds
$200,000 for fiscal year 2008-2009 of General Funds; $20,000 in other funds
Legal fees have increased this year and are expected to increase next year as well. The
position of the City Attorney has been in transition during 2007-2008. For a period of time, the
activities of the City Attorney position were accomplished by two interim city attorneys. Because
the interim attorneys were only filling in the position temporarily until Council appointed a
permanent attorney, many of the City's long term projects were postponed. This created an
exceptionally large backlog of complex projects to examine when the current attorney took his
position. Additionally, the contract with Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP is more costly than the
contract with the prior attorney at Kronick, Moskovitz, Tiedemann & Girard.
City Clerk Operations
$11,600 for fiscal year 2007-2008 of General Funds
$11,600 for fiscal year 2008-2009 of General Funds
Operating costs for the City Clerk's office have gone up with the increase in Council activity.
Council has requested expanded public noticing for several controversial projects increasing
printing, mailing and advertising costs. In addition Council meetings have typically run longer
than in the past increasing costs for secretarial services. The City Clerk is expecting similar
activity next fiscal year.
Description of Proposed Budget Adjustments
Human Services Grant
No adjustment recommended.
Recently, Council requested that staff research the City's capacity to extend larger grants for
Human Services program recipients. Every project or program that receives budget
appropriations essentially displaces funding for a handful of other projects or programs. The
City is already in the position of adopting deficit budgets and using cash reserves to cover
regular operating costs. Therefore, staff recommends that Council institute a policy to defer the
initiation of expanded or new projects until after the City is in a better economic climate and no
longer budgets at a deficit or uses reserves. By adopting this policy, Council members can
contribute to the community their legacy of a more financially stable government.
Insurance
$ 138,080 for fiscal year 2008-2009 of General Funds
$ 27,770 for fiscal year 2008-2009 for all other funds
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA). CJPIA is a
self-insurance group whereby its 114 member-agencies pool to share general liability insurance
risk. CJPIA arranges and administers programs for the pooling of self-insured losses and the
purchase of excess insurance or reinsurance. The costs for liability insurance is on the rise and
compounding that, several multi-million dollar claims were recently paid out of the pool in which
the City shares. As a result, the City has a $663,300 retroactive balance to be paid into the
pool. Because the retroactive balances are so high for most member agencies, CJPIA has
spread the payment of these balances across eight years. Beginning in fiscal year 2008-2009,
the City's annual retroactive payment is $121,650. The City also participates in CJPIA's
worker's compensation group. A savings is projected for the worker's compensation side;
however, this was already taken into account with the proposed labor budget adjustments.
Medium Technical Rescue Apparatus
($75,000) for fiscal year 2008-2009 of General Funds
The adopted budget included $75,000 to purchase a medium technical rescue apparatus and
equipment cache for the Fire Department. This is highly specialized equipment the Fire
Department would use during incidents in which the complexity and technicality exceeds the
abilities of front line apparatus. Resources for this purchase were to be provided by Mutual Aid
Revenues. Because of the issues previously cited, Mutual Aid Revenues are down significantly
compared to budget, so this purchase will be postponed until the resources to purchase the
equipment become available.
Historic City Hall FEMA Appeal
$50,000 for fiscal year 2007-2008 of General Funds
Additional funding is necessary to provide for the costs of preparing the first level appeal to
FEMA regarding the Historic City Hall restoration project. As directed by Council, the City
requested funding from FEMA for repair of the San Simeon Earthquake related damages to the
Historic City Hall. FEMA approved some of the repairs, but there were extensive repairs for
which FEMA did not authorize funding. The Federal program allows the City to prepare a formal
appeal. The City hired a consultant for expert help in preparing the appeal and had additional
investigative reports prepared by the project architect and the soils consultant. The City has
already received $562,000 in administrative revenues this fiscal year from FEMA and OES to
reimburse the City for costs relating to administering the FEMA process for the Historic City Hall
PW.
Description of Proposed Budget Adjustments
Corporate Yard Building Interior Improvements
$95,000 for fiscal year 2007-2008 from General Government Facilities Fees Fund
On December 13, 2005, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute agreements to
construct a new building to house the Public Works Maintenance Operations staff on the
grounds of the Wastewater Treatment Plant. This new facility consists of a 20,000 square foot
maintenance building that will include office space, a break room, a locker room, a vehicle
maintenance shop, storage rooms and covered parking. The exterior construction has been
completed. Only the interior framing and finish work remain to be completed. Unfortunately, the
interior framing and finish work were left out of the project plans and as a result, were not
included in the bid costs. An additional appropriation of $95,000 out of the General Government
Facilities Fees Fund will complete the interior construction to move-in condition. The General
Government Facilities Fund will borrow the $95,000 from the General Fund and will repay the
General Fund out of future revenues.
Park Easement Appraisals
$4,000 for fiscal year 2007-2008 from Parkland Facilities Fees Fund
Funding is needed for appraisal and other costs associated with investigating the acquisition of
property easements for Stadium Park.
Routes to School
$21,300 for fiscal year 2008-2009 in Local Transportation Funds to be taken from the Road
Rehabilitation Project
The City received a grant from the State of California, CalTrans, in the amount of $426,000.
The City's match is 10%, half of which will be funded by the Atascadero Unified School District.
The grant will provide an eight-foot wide multi-purpose trail along the north side of San Gabriel
road from State Route 41 to San Gabriel Elementary School. This project will include a flashing
cross walk from the multi-purpose trail to the school on the south. San Gabriel Elementary
School will supply a crossing guard to assist children crossing before and after school. The
project will continue to add pedestrian access to rural Atascadero.
Storm Water Management Program and Regional Water Control Board Basin Plan
$10,000 for fiscal year 2007-2008
$20,000 for fiscal year 2008-2009
The Regional Water Quality Board (Regional Board) is requiring the City of Atascadero and all
agencies over 10,000 in population to produce a Storm Water Management Program (SWMP)
as part of the Federal Clean Water Act. The Regional Board is also amending the Septic
System Basin Plan. This budget adjustment will allow funding to hire consultants to study the
options to produce a SWMP and assist the City in gaining approval of the Program. The
funding will also be used to hire consultants and studies as may be necessary to gain approval
of a Basin Plan that is acceptable to the City of Atascadero.
San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG)
In the 2008 Transportation and Funding Cycle, the SLOCOG Board has awarded the City of
Atascadero the following funding. These funds are from State and Federal sources and these
projects will have no impact on the General Fund.
1. Northbound US 101 Auxiliary Lanes from Rosario Avenue to San Anselmo Road.
$120,000 for fiscal year 2008-2009
Description of Proposed Budget Adjustments
This funding will be used to begin the planning and environmental process to install
auxiliary lanes in US101 at the above location. This will allow vehicles entering US101
more time to merge into traffic and merge off US101 at San Anselmo Road.
2. Downtown Atascadero Streetscape Phase III
$375,000 for fiscal year 2007-2008
This funding will be used in Downtown Atascadero to continue the successful
Streetscape Program.
3. Curbaril Interchange Park and Ride
$50,000 for fiscal year 2008-2009
This funding will be used to enlarge the existing Park and Ride facility located on San
Luis Avenue next to the Curbaril Interchange. The project will be done with the
assistance of CalTrans, who will handle all permitting and right-of-way work required.
Proposition 1B Adjustments
$446,790 increase in budgeted revenues for fiscal year 2007-2008
On November 7, 2006, California voters approved Proposition 1B, the Highway Safety, Traffic
Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006, providing $19.925 billion in bond
funds for transportation uses, including $2 billion for cities and counties to use for the
maintenance and improvement of local transportation facilities. AB 196 specifies that $550
million be allocated to cities. The allocation is determined by population, and the City's
allocation for 2007-2008 is $446,790.22. At the December 11, 2007 meeting, Council decided to
use these funds for the 2006/2007 Road Rehabilitation Project, freeing LTF funds for the Santa
Cruz Road Slope Stabilization Project. State procedures were not in place for claiming these
funds at the time of the decision. The actions proposed tonight will formally allocate the
Proposition 1 B funds in accordance with State guidelines to the 2006/2007 Road Rehabilitation
Project. The action does not increase the project budget for the 2006/2007 Road Rehabilitation
Project which includes the rehabilitation of San Jacinto Road and Del Rio Road.
General Fund Revenue Adjustments
($ 820,000) net decrease in budgeted revenues for fiscal year 2007-2008
($ 1,680,000) net decrease in budgeted revenues for fiscal year 2008-2009
It is expected that General Fund Revenues will come in $970,000 short of projections, for fiscal
year 2007-2008, however a reduction of$150,000 in mutual aid expenses offsets this reduction
for a net General Fund reduction of$820,000. A$1,680,000 reduction is proposed for the
projected 2008-2009 revenue shortfall. It is prudent for education and communication purposes
to adjust down the revenue projections as follows:

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report- Police Department
Request to Amend City's Smoking Ordinance
to Include Atascadero State Hospital
RECOMMENDATION:
Council direct Staff to prepare a modification to the current City Smoking Ordinance to
include Atascadero State Hospital and surrounding State property.
DISCUSSION:
In a letter dated March 14, 2008 (Attachment A), the Atascadero State Hospital
Executive Director requested that the City modify its smoking ordinance to include the
State Hospital property. The hospital is an all male patient, maximum security forensic
facility, designated as a psychiatric hospital.
Atascadero State Hospital is asking for the modification at the behest of the California
Department of Mental Health. It is the Department of Mental Health's intent to ban
smoking in and out of doors at all of its State hospitals. Currently, California Assembly
Bill No 846, approved September 8, 2003, prohibits smoking in public buildings that are
state-owned, occupied, or leased. Included are passenger vehicles owned by the State.
Smoking is prohibited within 20 feet of main exits, entrances, or operable windows of a
public building.
Atascadero State Hospital had started the implementation process of a comprehensive
ban, but was informed by the State Department of Public Health that the Hospital could
not go forward with a ban that is more comprehensive than AB 846. However, the
Department of Mental Health has been successful in restricting smoking in the City of
San Jose where a local ordinance passed in 2007 provides for a ban in State facilities.
The Department is requesting that Atascadero adopt a similar ordinance.
The Atascadero State Hospital Executive Director suggested the following language be
incorporated within Title 6, Chapter 6 of the Atascadero Municipal Code:
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any owner, operator, manager, or
other person who controls any establishment or facility may declare that entire
establishment or facility as a nonsmoking establishment. The terms "entire
establishment or facility"shall include a tract of land with buildings thereon and a
building with its grounds, including any State Hospital and its grounds.
If implemented, Atascadero State Hospital Police will be the primary agency for
enforcement of the ordinance on hospital grounds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not modify the ordinance; State Hospital restrictions would remain consistent with
existing ordinance and State law and they would not be permitted to eliminate smoking
on the State property.

Paloma Creek Park
Playground Replacement Project Award
RECOMMENDATION:
Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Dave Bang Associates,
Inc., in the amount of$177,055.55 for the purchase and installation of a new playground
structure for Paloma Creek Park.
DISCUSSION:
Background: Paloma Creek Park is a public park on the south end of Atascadero. The
park has soccer fields, a Little League field, two lighted softball fields and a group picnic
area. Some of the daily user groups are Atascadero Children's Center, CALL Program,
area neighbors such as Bordeaux House Apartments, Atascadero Youth Soccer,
Atascadero Little League, North County Christian School baseball and softball teams,
as well as the City's t-ball league and adult softball program.
Paloma Creek Park's playground was highly used by many of the different user groups
at the park, but it was completely removed over a year ago due to outdated equipment
and safety issues. Without a playground facility, the park offers no other unstructured
play opportunities for children while at the park. In this fiscal year there was funding
provided to replace the playground area at Paloma Creek Park.
Analysis: Staff sent out a Request for Proposals to eleven playground companies,
requesting proposals for the purchase and installation of a new playground structure for
Paloma Creek Park. The project was advertised from December 27, 2007 through
January 25, 2008. A total of six (6) proposals were submitted by the deadline.
(Attachment A) The Paloma Creek Park Playground Selection Committee (Attachment
B) reviewed the proposals and selected three firms for in-person presentations. At the
I
conclusion of the presentations, the Selection Committee recommended that Dave
Bang Associates, Inc., be selected as the vendor for the Paloma Creek Park
Playground Replacement Project. (Attachment C).
On February 21, 2008, the Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously
recommended selection of Dave Bang Associates, Inc., for the purchase and installation
of a new play structure to be placed near the previous location of the playground at
Paloma Creek Park.
