Regional Transit Authority (SLORTA): Mayor Arrambide distributed to the Council copies of bills currently before the State Assembly and Senate pertaining to housing. Through the League of California Cities there is an effort to form an organization, to go by the acronym of LOCAL (Leave Our Community Assets Local), which is an extension of the grass roots movement to organize local city governments and contains four basic elements: 1 ) essential local services should not be sacrificed to solve State budget problems, 2) local taxes and fees paid by local residents should stay in the community to fund local services, 3) local governments and local revenues are already part of the State budget solution, and 4) State government should balance the budget without taking more money from local communities. Mayor CC 05/14/02 Page 8 Arrambide asked for Council consensus to endorse the statement of principles, allowing Atascadero to join in. There was Council consensus for the Mayor to endorse, on behalf of the Council, the formation of LOCAL. County Mayor's Round Table: Met at Pismo Beach and looked at their boardwalk project. They plan to have a walking path from the Oceano Amtrak Station along the waterfront to just beyond the Pismo Beach pier.

The new president is Tony Ferraro from Arroyo Grande. Council Member Clay City / Schools Committee: The school farm will have to be moved to the San Benito area beyond the ball fields. Atascadero Unified School District attendance is down by 700 students in the last seven years. D. INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION: City Council Council Member Johnson announced that he and Council Member Clay are going to Sacramento and will be meeting with the legislators regarding balancing the State budget through revenues from the cities. Council Member Luna stated there is no truth to the rumor that he has refused to appear on KPRL; he has not been asked. Council Member Clay stated he is concerned with the homeless situation. Council Member Luna suggested that Paso Robles, Templeton and Atascadero meet to discuss this issue; Council Member Clay expressed strong support for the idea. Mayor Arrambide stated that the North County has achieved a level of population that passes a threshold with the federal government that would allow Atascadero to receive funding and act as a local government planning area. Mayor Arrambide agreed to speak to the Mayor of Paso Robles on the issue and report back to the Council. CC 05/14/02 Page 9 City Clerk City Clerk Marcia Torgerson announced that Dennis Schmidt resigned from his position on the Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC).

Ignore our Tree Ordinance 2. Significantly change the mitigation recommendations in the EIR. I was very involved when the EIR was being done for this area. Originally the city was going to allow this large 800 acre parcel to be developed in a piece meal way by a series of Negative Declarations. After I appealed staff's decision Mrs. Davis withdrew her application and voluntarily agreed to a comprehensive EIR. The EIR revealed that this would be an expensive project to develop. No surprises to whomever developed it. I was prepared that the property would at sometime be developed but at least I knew it had been redesigned to minimize impacts. Now I find out that planning staff and the developer are proposing significant changes and the public has not been informed or allowed any input. 1. The Comprehensive Restoration Plan completely ignores our Tree Ordinance with regard to replanting or paying into the tree fund if replanting is not feasible and ignores the EIR with regard to canopy coverage. My question is why did staff let this happen. Why have you ignored our Tree Ordinance? 2. The developer is recommending the removal of retaining walls. Because of cuts as high as 20 feet retaining walls were an integral part of the EIR. Retaining walls are expensive but this was in the EIR. He knew the requirements when he bought the parcel. 3. Maps, without topographical lines, show dots where there are trees. The dots do not tell us the tree canopy, species of tree or trunk diameter. This is no more than a rough rendering but it appears that decisions are being made on the basis of this map. 4. Staff is making deals with the developer based on total amount of cut and fill and number of trees removed. Their decision is 'ustifled by a table. EIR Appendix B Proposed Construction Impacts Difference Native Tree Removal 407 Trees 390 Trees -17 trees Cut sloe 4.56 acres 4.15 acres -0.41 acres Fill Slopes 5.21 acres 5.04 acres -0.17 acres Nothing is said about the site, about the size or species of tree. Hearing about the developer's reputation in Arroyo Grande some of us from ANTA met with Wade McKinney and Warren Frace in anticipation of problems with tree protection. I never would have anticipated that this would happen. But the bottom line is the responsibility for enforcing the EIR and the Tree Ordinance falls squarely with our city staff and up to this point they haven't done a good job. (The city got a lot of bad publicity when it made significant modifications to another project that had an EIR and was PD. I'm referring of course to the driving range and infamous lights at Eagle Creek Golf Course. That was a decision made between staff and the developer.) Attachment: B Atascadero City Council Mtg.

To: El Camino Homeless Organization May 5, 2002 From: Homeless Housing Project Re: HHP Motel Voucher Program in Atascadero From the beginning of E.C.H.O. Church Shelter Program (December 10, 2001), the Homeless Housing Project (HHP) has provided support and cooperation to assist in the success of the your efforts. The HHP has asked all the helping agencies to first refer clients to your Program so you could have the best opportunity to operate at full capacity(20 cots). From December 10, 2001 to April 30, 2002, the HHP has provided emergency motel shelter ( 35 adults, 17 children for 78 nights) for those clients who were not compatible with your Program criteria. These clients included people with illnesses or needing medical attention, having handicaps or disabilities, people from other agencies (who didn't meet your Program criteria) and the overflow(when you operated at capacity). In doing so, the HHP Motel Voucher Program has incurred a cost of$3,562.78. In your applications for Atascadero CDBG funds, you have allocated funds for the Homeless Housing Project Motel Voucher Program. We respectfully request $3,562.78. Enclosed is a description of the HHP Motel Voucher Program use in Atascadero. The description was written from the MVP Monthly Reports, The MVP Intake Forms and Motel Receipts, and the American Express Corporate Account records to insure accuracy. If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the HHP at 805-459-4951. Thank you for all your efforts in helping people by providing emergency church shelter in the Atascadero area. We look forward to continuing working with you. Together we can make a difference. Sincerely, Charles H. Johnson, Treasurer Homeless Housing Project Attachment: C Atascadero City Council Mtg. May 14, 2002 Atascadero City Council Report Council Member Jerry Clay Junk Vehicle Tow Day The idea of a program to remove junk vehicles similar to the annual refuse clean up day was discussed at the last City Council meeting. Council Member Clay was asked to follow up on the issue and provide the Council with additional information. The City Manager was aware that the City of Paso Robles recently conducted a similar program and staff developed the following information. Chief Hegwood investigated the feasibility of providing a free Junk Vehicle Tow Day for our citizens. It will require a significant commitment in personnel time to coordinate the project however it can be accomplished. He has taken the initial planning steps in anticipation of Council direction to pursue the project. The project would be a joint Atascadero Police Department/California Highway Patrol activity scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 12, 2002 at the City Yard. APD officers and volunteers will coordinate the field operation and CHP personnel will coordinate temporary field office to process the necessary Department of Motor Vehicles paperwork. The Chief has made contact with the A-1 Metal Company and determined that the current cost to dispose of salvage metal would be $20 per vehicle. However, the price of metal is going up and perhaps by October, they may be able to accept the vehicles at no cost to the City. The City would have to pay $200 for the cost of transporting the portable crusher and a large forklift to the City Yard. The Chief has obtained the support and cooperation of the local tow companies. Action Towing, Alliance Towing and Rainbow towing have agreed to each donate a tow truck and driver to the project. Resources required for the project would be staff time to attend meetings and coordinate the project with other agencies, city departments and local tow companies. Based on projecting the removal of 50 junk vehicles, the cost would be $1,000 (50 x $20 = $1,000) plus $200 for the portable crusher. Upon Council direction, staff will formalize the project and establish a calendar of meeting dates to coordinate the event.
