Public Comments:
David Montanaro, applicant, requested that the project be conditionally denied so that
the project could proceed. He reported that he and his partner, Warren Miller (also
present), were concerned that they may lose the necessary funding if the project is
further delayed.

of Mr. Montanaro's request. He explained that the final map has not yet been

put over. The City Engineer reported that, although the map lines aren't anticipated
to change, the drainage calculations have not yet been finalized. He reiterated that
there are sensitive drainage issues in the Amapoa-Tecorida area.

3. DISCUSSION OF CITY TREASURER APPOINTMENT
Staff recommendation: Provide staff direction
Brady Cherry and Lee Price provided background and the staff report. It was
confirmed that Garry Halstead was not qualified to be appointed as the City Treasurer
because he did not meet the minimum requirements of being a resident of the City and
a registered voter. It was noted that the Elected City Treasurer had extended her
resignation effective date from September 1 to October 1 , 1995. The Deputy City
Attorney explained that the Council cannot lawfully make an appointment until after
the effective date of the resignation and provided the following options: 1) select one
of the other applicants previously interviewed, 2) re-open the recruitment and solicit
additional applications, or 3) call a special election.
Public Comments:
Garry Halstead stated that he is registered to vote and receives mail in Atascadero.
He indicated that he did not believe that the City Council could require residency for
an appointed position.
George Schroff, 8740 EI Camino Real, urged the City Council to consider calling a
special election to fill the vacancy.
---End of Public Testimony---
The City Clerk responded to brief questions about the projected costs for a special
election.
By consensus, the City Council directed the City Clerk to re-open the recruitment, re-
advertise and schedule interviews before the 30th of October. The City Clerk took
direction from Council to implement methods for verifying minumum requirements.
