Police Facility - Presentation by Architect Ross, Levin and McIntyre Detailed presentation was made by architect Rod Levin. Public Comment Barbara Reiter, 10150 San Marcos Rd. , spoke in support of using avail- able centrally located land as the site for a civic center ; she feels that the Gen. Plan doesn't address a civic center deeply enough and that we are destoying the possibility for one by disbursing, first, the library site and, now, the police facility site. She expressed that the police facility should be visible, and the proposed site is not. Sarah Gronstrand, resident, addressed comments of the previous speak- er, noting that school funds are strained at the present time (relates to the suggestion that the Jr. High and Lewis Ave. Schools be relo- cated and site utilized for civic center and police facility) . She inquired about the number of oaks proposed to be removed from the current site under consideration; Mr. Levine responded 5-6. Mrs. Gronstrand urged that no more delays be incurred on this project for the benefit of the APD' s needs. 1 Councilwoman Borgeson and Mayor Norris agreed to serve on a committee to review the site selection and financing alternatives and will re- port back to full Council in 45 days. COUNCIL RECESSED FOR A BREAK AT 10:45 A.M. MAYOR NORRIS CALLED THE MEETING BACK TO ORDER AT 10 :50 A.M. 2. Atascadero Lake Park Property Acquisition Consideration - Pre- sention by Ad Hoc Committee (Approximate Time - 30 Minutes) Mr. Shelton, City Mgr. , made staff comments. He noted that all three owners of properties under consideration have indicated a willingness to sell. Indicating that the City is not in a position to purchase said properties at this time, he reviewed alternatives by which it may exercise the option to assure their future availability. Public Comment John Harris, Parks & Rec. Commissioner, relayed the Commission' s sup- port for the purchase of the Lake properties under consideration for the designated purpose of a community center. Maggie Rice, Chamber of Commerce, relayed the Chamber Board' s recom- mendation to sell residential undeveloped properties toward the purchase of the subject Lake properties for the establishment of a community center. Mr. Jorgensen, Admin. Svcs. Director , urged that Council prioritize between the police facility or the purchase of subject properties. He recommended financing alternatives for the property purchases as (1) a general obligation bond (this would be the most logical choice) , or (2) re-allocating existing resources. He suggested that Council postpone a decision until after the 45 days when more information is presented by the committee studying the police facility site and re- lated financing. MOTION: By Councilman Bourbeau that Council express its commitment to purchase the (10) subject properties on Morro Road and auth- orize staff to engage the services of a licensed appraiser to have all affected properties appraised; motion seconded by .Councilwoman Mackey. Passed unanimously, Staff was directed to discuss options with the affected property owners and report back in 45 days, concurrent with the police fac- ility committee' s report.

Barbara Reiter , resident, agreed with the comments of the previous speaker.
