PROPOSED 1991-92 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET
Overall Budget:
Mayor Lilley commended staff on the budget format. Councilwoman
Borgeson commented that she was proud of the fact that the budget
was balanced, despite the present state-wide economy. Councilman
Nimmo remarked that the budget was the best he'd seen. Councilman
Dexter praised department heads for complying with the City
Manager's request to maintain within the existing level of
appropriations.
Mr. Windsor responded that cooperation by all departments had
resulted, in part, to a balanced budget. He acknowledged the
presence of each department head, who were available to respond to
specific questions.
Councilwoman Borgeson indicated that she wanted the public to know
and the record to show just what the figures were. Having said
this, she outlined the following projections: ( 1) General Fund
Balance (as of June 30, 1991) - $1,950,000, (2) Revenues for Fiscal
Year 91-92 - $7,451, 123 and (3) Reserve for Capital Improvements
CC6/11/91
Page 1
$1,197,500. Ms. Borgeson also announced the following as monies
set aside: ( 1) General Fund Reserve - $600,000 and (2) a pledge of
35,000 for future expansion of the Library.
Mark Joseph confirmed the figures and indicated that the balance of
$117,500 was what would be available for community group funding,
or any other purpose designated by Council. Councilwoman Borgeson
noted that if Council were to approve all community agency
requests, which combined total $102,597, the City would not be left
with a substantial cushion. The City Manager noted that, in
addition, a contingency of $100,000 had been built into the Non-
Departmental Budget.
Community Agency Funding Requests:
Mr. Windsor reported that staff has not, historically, made
recommendations to the Council on matters relating to community
group funding. He suggested that, in light of the present economy
and the growing number of requests, Council may want staff to take
a more active role in evaluating each request and developing clear
criteria for decision-making.
Councilman Dexter suggested that Council consider reducing the one-
percent allotment for community groups.
The City Manager pointed out that many of the requests fall under
the Community Services area and might best be considered under that
department' s own annual budget rather than as separate donations.
Councilwoman Borgeson concurred and noted that some of the
requests, in her opinion, should be funded by the School District.
Councilman Nimmo agreed that criteria should be established for
determining which requests are truly worthwhile. He added that it
might be appropriate to assist some groups as they begin public
services and pointed out that once established they might not
require continued support.
Councilman Shiers (arriving at 5:48 p.m. ) extended his appreciation
to the City Manager and staff for putting together a tight budget.
Commenting on community agency requests, he asserted that while
regular departments are cutting back, it was important to keep that
portion of the budget in check. He noted that by excluding the
Chamber of Commerce, the B.I.A. and the San Luis Obispo County
Visitor's Bureau (Contract Service Agency requests included in the
Recommended Budget), the figure could be reduced to two-thirds of
one-percent.
Police Departments
Mark Joseph responded to questions from Councilwoman Borgeson
CC6/11/91
Page 2
relating to department revenue. In addition, she asked the Police
Chief to explain certain contract services.
Chief McHale reported that he would soon be bringing before Council
two ordinances relating to cost recovery for false alarms and costs
associated with D.U.I. arrests.
Mayor Lilley noted the request for a part-time R.S.V.P. Coordinator
and suggested that, if approved, this person be responsible for all
volunteer services.
Chief McHale reiterated concern for inadequate staffing in the
sworn ranks. He indicated that he hoped Council would consider, at
mid-year, adding a couple of officers each year in an effort to
bring the department up to a median level.
Councilwoman Borgeson asked that the Council be kept apprised of
all safety issues and be informed of situations where staff
deficiencies deteriorate public safety.
The City Manager emphasized that keeping staff to a minimum in both
Police and Fire Departments result in more overtime costs. Mayor
Lilley noted that an estimated amount of $70, 000 was saved by the
use of volunteers.
Fire Department
Mike McCain, Acting Fire Chief, responded to questions relating to
replacement of the mobile command vehicle. He indicated that he
had modified an original request for a Chevrolet Suburban to that
of a smaller, more inexpensive vehicle and suggested the purchase-
of a Chevrolet Blazer or Ford Bronco. The City Manager gave
support to this recommendation adding that the expenditure might
even be less than the estimated $20,000.
Councilwoman Borgeson indicated that the Department's request for
an emergency supply container might be funded by the County.
Acting Chief McCain explained that use of a mobile trailer might be
an adequate alternative which would cut the cost significantly.
Councilwoman Borgeson stated that when a cost savings is
recognized, she would like to be able to see it. The City Manager
responded that each department may only spend the amount of the bid
and no more. Mark Joseph further clarified that any monies "saved"
stay in the General Fund and do not go back to the department.
Public Works Department
The Public Works Director provided accounting clarification
relating to minor capital listings. He explained that two Dial-A-
CC6/11/9l
Page 3
Ride buses would be purchased during one fiscal year and that 80%
of these costs are paid by the State. Mark Joseph added that funds
had been allocated for one vehicle in the 90-91 budget, but the bus
had not been purchased during that period. The money, he reported,
would be rolled over to this next fiscal year.
Community Development Department
Henry Engen clarified that a figure of $5,000 was included for
outside arborist services, as needed. Councilwoman Borgeson asked
the Community Development Director for a status report on Tree City
USA. Mr. Engen reported that the City must document annually tree
expenditures and indicated that he would provide Ms. Borgeson with
a copy of the criteria.
Discussion followed regarding vehicle maintenance. The City
Manager reported that although currently each department arranges
for their own vehicle maintenance, an inventory process had begun
in an effort to coordinate routine service for all city vehicles.
Mark Joseph reported that Phase II (of four) of the Fiscal Model
was expected to be completed in approximately four months and
projected it would be available for review about September 1991.
Community Services
Andy Takata responded to questions regarding Traffic Way Park
improvements. In addition, he also reported that higher projected
revenues were a result of the department offering more recreational
activities.
Administrative Services
Mark Joseph reported that minor claims, handled internally by the
Risk Review Committee, are now processed more efficiently and
economically.
The City Manager indicated that he, along with the Administrative
Services Director, was recommending that on-going costs for
employee negotiations and other miscellaneous employee services for
the next fiscal year be put out to bid. This, he added, might
reduce personnel costs.
By Council consensus, staff was directed to seek proposals for
on-going personnel services.
Councilman Shiers asked the Administrative Services Director to
clarify debt service. Mr. Joseph explained that the loan for the
old computer system had been paid off and other lease payments had
been transferred to the non-departmental budget.

Public Comments:
Sarah Gronstrand, representing the Friends of the Library, thanked
the Council for last year's generous pledge of $35,000 and asked
them to honor it this next year.
The City Manager indicated that these funds had been earmarked in
the Capital Improvement account.
MOTION: By Councilman Dexter, seconded by Councilman Nimmo to
accept this portion of the budget; motion unanimously
carried by roll call vote.
Mr. Windsor advised that Council would be asked to formally accept
by resolution the budget at the next regular meeting. He pointed
out that Council would hold a public hearing regarding community
agency requests Wednesday, June 19, 1991«
Mayor Lilley called for a recess at 7:01 p.m. At 7:18 p.m. the
meeting was reconvened.

COMMUNITY FORUM:
Eric Greening, 7365 Valle, stated that he had learned that Henry
Engen would be serving on the site selection committee for the
north county branch of Cuesta College. He suggested that Mr. Engen
might present regular reports under the Committee Reports portion
of the City Council agenda. In addition, he asked that the City
Council, during deliberations regarding Stadium Park, consider the
possibility of joint development and use of the proposed cultural
facility with the College.
Maureen Hill, resident of Hilltop Mobile Home Park at 5715 Santa
Cruz Road, inquired about procedures appropriate to request mobile

Mr. Greening commented on the proposed amended conflict of interest
code and stated that he thought guidelines were needed to protect
the City against conflicts that could compromise the Council as a
whole. He noted that Council had recently addressed an urgency
ordinance regulating utility transmission stations and pointed out
that Pacific Gas & Electric Company had an interest in this
legislature and had offered to help the City write the proposed
permanent ordinance. The following week, Mr. Greening continued,
P.G.&E. had hosted a retreat for the City' s Economic Roundtable and
pointed out that possible strife could arise if the matter of the

cautioning Council against potential controversy.
The City Clerk also made note of an addition to page 7 of the
amended Conflict of Interest Code, Section 6 (4) pertaining to
member participation.
CC6/11/91

MOTION: By Councilman Nimmo, seconded by Councilman Dexter to
adopt Resolution No. 46-91; motion passed unanimously.
C. HEARINGS/APPEARANCES:
1. ZONE CHANGE 03-91 (City of Atascadero) (Cont'd from 5/28/91)
A. Ordinance No. 222 - Amending Section 9-3.651 (Establish-
ment of Planned Development Overlay Zone No. 7) of the
Zoning Ordinance by the addition of development standards
(Recommend motion to waive reading in full and approve on
first reading by title only. )
City Planner, Steve DeCamp, gave background and pointed out changes
made to Exhibit A of the ordinance. The alternate ordinance was
prepared, he explained, with a minimum number of four units
possible. He noted that it no longer specified that the parent lot
be one-half acre. In addition, he responded to questions from the
City Council and emphasized that the four findings of approval for
PD(7) overlay would remain unchanged and would still apply.
Mr. DeCamp reported that the planned development offers higher
quality homes as compared to apartments and is a viable alternative
to large lot subdivision. Brief discussion followed regarding
"affordability" and the City Planner indicated that specific tools
are not yet available to acquire affordable housing through planned
unit development projects.
Councilman Shiers inquired about recent planned unit developments
recently completed on Sinaloa. Mr. DeCamp indicated that the PD on
the corner of Sinaloa and Curbaril may or may not have been
approved based on the new standards and stated that the project
completed by Bruce Jones further up on the street would not have
been built under the standards.
Public Comments:
Jack Stinchfield, local businessman, opposed Standard "G"
pertaining to the footprint of each individual unit sharing concern
for the aesthetics of the buildings. He also stated that
Atascadero could benefit from an architectural review board.
Turko Semmes, local builder, expressed concern for set-backs of
newly created units. He asserted that homes could be too close to
the street. Mr. DeCamp, in response, pointed out that an addition
to the ordinance of a side yard set-back would address this
concern.
Councilwoman Borgeson voiced strong opposition to subverting the
one-half acre minimum asserting that she could not support the
CC6/11/91
Page 8
ordinance because it would be like voting against the General Plan.
She stated that she was concerned for protecting the rural
character of the community and feared that the City could lose
needed rental stock. In addition, Councilwoman Borgeson indicated
that she concurred with the suggestion made for creation of an
architectural review board and asked that the matter be presented
as a future agenda item.
Councilman Shiers agreed that he, too, would be supportive of such
a board to review planned unit developments. He noted that he
would have liked to have seen included in the ordinance a finding
that would insure that creation of a PUD would not duly reduce
vacant stock of land available for apartments.
Mayor Lilley reiterated that he could not support an arbitrary one-
half acre minimum and expressed concurrence with the proposed
ordinance.
MOTION: By Councilman Nimmo, seconded by Councilman Dexter to
waive reading of Ordinance No. 222 in full and approve by
title only; motion carried 4: 1, with Councilwoman
Borgeson in opposition.
The City Attorney indicated that because the motion was not
unanimously approved, the ordinance must be read in full.
Councilwoman Borgeson indicated that she wished the record to
show that she had changed her mind and voted in favor of
waiving the reading in full.
Result of motion amended: 5:0
MOTION: By Councilman Nimmo, seconded by Councilman Dexter to
approve Ordinance No. 222 on first reading; motion
carried 4: 1, Councilwoman Borgeson objecting.

computerized Fiscal Impact Model
B. 1991 Central Coast Section APA Award
Mark Joseph presented that staff report and recommended that
Council adopt Resolution No. 38-91 awarding the contract to
Crawford, Multari & Starr. He indicated that the City Attorney had
rendered an opinion on a question raised by the City Treasurer, who
was concerned about the legality of charging costs of the
CC6/11/91
Page 9
computerized fiscal impact model to developer fees.
Mr. Montandon advised Council to take a more conservative approach
and charge the costs to overhead and processing.
Mayor Lilley announced that the City had received an Award of Merit
from the Central Coast Chapter of the American Planning Association
for the Atascadero Long Range Fiscal Analysis.`
MOTION: By Councilman Dexter, seconded by Councilman Nimmo to
adopt Resolution No. 38-91 authorizing the City Manager
to execute an agreement with Crawford, Multari & Starr to
develop a computerized fiscal impact model, and to charge
the costs of said model in accordance with the City
Attorney's recommendation regarding funding source;
motion carried 5:0 by roll call vote.
2. WEED ABATEMENT BID CLARIFICATION (Cont'd from 5/28/91)
Acting Fire Chief, Mike McCain, reported that the weed abatement
contractor, Stephen Vines, had made an error on the original bid
sheet. The half-hour rate, he noted, should have been $8.00, not
$7.00 as shown. The fire chief indicated that even with the error,
the contractor was still the lowest bidder. No action was taken.
3. RUSSIAN STUDENTS EXCHANGE - REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Mark Joseph reported that this matter had been placed on the agenda
in response to a request made by Steve Worford, Manager of
Atascadero Federal Credit Union, to the mayor for a City
contribution to help cover travel expenses for russian students
coming to Atascadero. Mr. Joseph indicated that Council may wish
to include the request as part of the FY 91-92 Community Group
Funding process scheduled for June 19, 1991.
Public Comments:
Steve Worford and Anna-Louise Emrich, co-sponsors of the "Eagle and
Bear FriendshipProgram", summarized their efforts in coordinating
a student exchange program. Ms. Emrich explained that students
from the Soviet Union would arrive in approximately two weeks but,
despite on-going fund-raising efforts, money was still needed to
meet the travel expenses. She asked that Council show their
support for the program by providing some financial assistance.
Councilwoman Borgeson asked Mr. Worford whether or not the
Atascadero Unified School District had been asked to make a
contribution. He replied that they had and that the school
district was not making a monetary donation, but rather allowing
the students to participate in computer labs during the summer
CC6/11/91
Page 10
school session. He also reported that contributions had been
received from the Chamber of Commerce and the Kiwanis.
Councilman Nimmo shared concern for those coordinating the program
committing without having obtained the necessary financing. He
asserted that this request was one of a long list of other funding
requests from the community.
Mayor Lilley voiced support for the program but suggested that the
request be heard as part of the budget session scheduled for the
19th of June. Councilwoman Borgeson concurred.
Councilman Dexter reiterated his opinion that any funding granted
should come from the current fiscal year's budget.
MOTION: By Councilwoman Borgeson, seconded by Councilman Shiers
to include Mr. Worford's request along with other
community agency funding requests scheduled for public
hearing on the 19th of June.
Discussion of the motion: Councilman Shiers remarked that the
City is in a budget-crunch, cautioned that although he would
agree to hearing the matter on the 19th, he did not want to
raise false hopes. He also stated that he could not support
the full amount of $3,600 requested.
Mayor Lilley commented that he wondered why the school
district does not become more involved. Councilman Nimmo
stated that he would vote to see the matter on the 19th but
was not making a firm commitment for funds.
Vote on the motion: 5:0 to hear the matter on June 19,
1991.
4. AUTHORIZE AGREEMENT FOR IMPROVEMENTS ON A PORTION OF SANTA
CRUZ ROAD
Greg Luke, Public Works Director, presented the staff report and
recommendation to authorize an agreement with Mr. Kelly Gearhart to
contribute $20,000 towards the construction of approximately 500
feet of Santa Cruz Road. He reported that several small driveways
could, technically, be constructed to provide the needed access,
but pointed out that this approach would make it difficult for
Santa Cruz to be constructed in the future. Mr. Luke reported that
although staff had not yet prepared a comprehensive program for
upgrading present roads and bridge construction, the City would'
realize substantial benefit from the construction of this portion
of Santa Cruz Road because it would provide a necessary link to
serve that portion of the City.
CC6/11/91
Page 11
The Public Works Director responded to questions regarding plans
for future improvements in the area and outlined plans for
extending Traffic Way all the way through to Santa Cruz Road. Mr.
Luke clarified that funding, if approved, would be allocated from
gas tax revenues and emphasized that the City's contribution would
be no more than $20,000; with Mr. Gearhart would being responsible
for all additional expense.
Public Comments:
Eric Greening, 7365 Valle, commented that a transportation/traffic
plan was in process for the Templeton area and suggested that
regional coordination might be appropriate to access what would be
beneficial to all.
Deborah Hollowell, Cuesta Engineering, urged the Council to take
advantage of the fact that a road could be built in the established
right-of-way and achieve the kind of circulation that was planned
by E.G. Lewis.
Additional discussion followed. Mayor Lilley commended the
initiative shown on the part of the Public Works Director for
coming up with an innovative solution to one of the City' s road
issues. Councilman Nimmo remarked that the City would eventually
have to construct the road and expressed support for the staff
recommendation.
Henry Engen clarified that the City had the discretion to require
the road be constructed (Option #1) and observed that this issue
highlighted the need for a comprehensive road improvement policy.
Councilman Shiers expressed concern for potential precedent the
action might set and inquired about plans for the bridge across
Graves Creek Road. The Public Works Director indicatedthatthe
bridge was part of the 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan and
clarified that development fees will be collected to go, in part,
to bridge construction costs.
Councilwoman Borgeson asserted that the Council would be making a
policy statement if the recommendation was approved.
MOTION: By Councilwoman Borgeson, seconded by Councilman Shiers,
that the Council find that constructing Santa Cruz Road
is a reasonable requirement of the project and direct
staff to condition the project accordingly.
Discussion and clarification of the motion followed. The
Public Works Director indicated that Mr. Gearhart already had
the right to build the homes and construct driveways for
access. He also reported that the City has the Colony right-
CC6/11/91
Page 12
of-way and could condition the project by requiring Mr.
Gearhart to construct the road.
Councilwoman Borgeson emphasized that her motion did not
address any City financial contribution.
Vote on the motion: Councilman Nimmo voted "No";
Councilman Shiers voted "Yes"; Councilman Dexter
abstained; Councilwoman Borgeson voted "Yes" and Mayor
Lilley voted "No". (Pursuant to AMC Section 2. 1. 15
Councilman Dexter' s abstention resulted in a "Yes" vote. )
Motion carried 3:2.
5. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2A-91, 905 EL CAMINO REAL - Request to
change land use designation from Retail Commercial, Recrea-
tion, and Suburban Residential to Commercial Park and
Recreation (Daven Investments/Cosmic Astro Corporation/Guy
Greene)
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, presented the staff
report and recommendation to initiate consideration of the general
plan amendment.
Public Comment:
Deborah Hollowell, Cuesta Engineering, asked when this matter would
go before a public hearing and for an overview of the general plan
amendment process. Mr. Engen provided her with a summary of the
process and explained that the subject application had been before
the Planning Commission on May 21, 1991 whereupon it had been
recommended for initiation. He gave no date specific for public
hearing on the matter, but added that the subject land use proposal
was unique from what is presently being considered in the citywide
land use element and would be processed separately with its, own
E.I.R.
MOTION: By Councilman Nimmo, seconded by Councilman Dexter to
accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and
direct staff to proceed; unanimously carried.
6. AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE
Mark Joseph reported that Council was being asked to direct staff
to seek quotes for earthquake and flood insurance. He indicated
that, with conceptual approval, he would come back to Council with
a specific recommendation.

exploring, in conjunction with other interested cities, the
prospects and availability of earthquake/flood insurance.

7. LETTER FROM COUNTY ENGINEER RE: COUNTY MASTER WATER PLAN
UPDATE PRESENTATION
Henry Engen reported that Clinton Milne, County Engineer, had made
a written request of staff to set up a time for him to appear
before Council and review the Master Water Plan. Mr. Engen
suggested that the presentation could be scheduled for June 25,
1991.
Brief discussion of the "State Water" E.I.R. ensued. Councilwoman
Borgeson reported that the E.I.R. had been released and that
"Nacimiento Water" is being considered an alternate water source.
Public Comment:
Eric Greening, 7365 Valle, indicated that he understood that the
E.I.R. for the branch paralleling the Southern Pacific Railway
serving Atascadero, Templeton and Paso Robles was scheduled to come
out in late July (1991) .
Councilwoman Borgeson, as a member of the County Water Advisory
Board, pointed out that the board had opted to wait before taking
any action until they have reviewed the final draft of the E.I.R.
for the North County. Mayor Lilley agreed it would be most
appropriate to have the E.I.R. , and its' evaluation of alternatives
completed.
By consensus, staff was directed to proceed with arranging a
date for presentation with the County Engineer.
S. PROPOSED NORTH COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL PROGRAM (Verbal)
Mark Joseph reported that the City Council of the City of Paso
Robles had enthusiastically endorsed the concept of a joint animal
control services program with the City of Atascadero. With Council
consent, he reported, he and the Chief of Police would pursue in
developing a joint powers agreement with the City of Paso.
