1. 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.

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.
COUNCILWOMAN MACKEY WAS EXCUSED FROM THE MEETING AT 11:35 A.M.
