Mayor Mackey appointed a committee of Councilmembers Norris and Molina, along with Mike Shelton to meet with Mrs. Pahler and make • 1 a decision. A. CONSENT CALENDAR Councilwoman Borgeson requested clarification on the Minutes of August 11, 1986 (Pg. 2, paragraph 7) , to reflect her primary concern regard- ing the issue of a proposed building moratorium is that the present infrastructure, primarily roads and sewers, cannot adequately handle increased high-density apartments at this point in time.

At Councilman Molina' s request, Mayor Mackey requested Mr. Engen to respond to Mr. Bench's earlier comments (see above, Community Forum) . Mr. Engen explained that the Planning Commission did not favor a split of Mr. Bench' s parcel due to its proximity to the creek. This was based on a Planning Commission decision several years ago (on a simi- lar request in the Carmelita area) ; then, a controversial lot split was approved with the understanding that future requests in the creek area would not be granted. ' Mr. Engen explained the criteria on which a subdivision application by Councilman Molina was approved; that tract met all City requirements and there was no creekside issue. B. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1. Status Report on Assessment District #4 - Seperado/Cayucos Sewer Proiect Paul Sensibaugh, Public Works Director, gave staff report. John Wallace, Contract Engineer, provided a summary of the up-to-date cost comparisons (based on findings outlined in staff report) , empha- sizing that the figures will change as the project bid figures come in. Mr. Wallace also outlined several factors which will affect the final per unit cost- figures. The assessment diagram (showing all of the lots in the assessment district) was delivered tonight for staff review. It is anticipated that the final plans and specifications will be available for Council review along with request for author- ization to proceed to bid at their Sept. 8th meeting. . The final Engineer' s Report will also be presented at that time, which spreads the assessment, according to benefit, amongst all the units that will benefit from the project. Staff responded to questions from Council with regard to costs in- volved and available financing alternatives, followed by added comments from Mike Shelton, City Manager, regarding individual lot . hookup costs and timeliness of hooking up (within two years of service availability) , noting that the first costs to the property owners involved will be experienced a year from this December (the public portion of costs) . Mr. Sensibaugh explained the differences between this situation and the Marchant Way assessment district (No. 3) in response to request by Councilwoman Norris regarding the City' s finan- cial contribution.

Councilwoman Borgeson reviewed and clarified the housing -percentage figures supplied in the staff report; she proposed that, upon review of the General Plan, specific language be included to state a reas- onable ratio of single-family vs. multi-family dwellings,_ thereby eliminating any need for a moratorium on MF housing. Councilman Handshy spoke in opposition to a MF housing moratorium and in support of development fees in the interest of progress and to support the City's infrastructure. Councilwoman Norris reiterated her opposition to the development fees and she asks what is the rent vacancy factor, to which Mr. Enge responded; he expects that the figure quoted in the January State partment of Finance report (2.9%) is now higher , and this view w supported by contacts with real estate people. Councilman Molina spoke in opposition to a MF housing moratorium and in support of the upcoming General Plan review as the more rational, responsible approach to growth concerns. Mayor Mackey clarified that her purpose in favoring a moratorium was that it be temporary and in place, at least, until two traffic lights are installed and improvements are made to increase sewage treatment capacity. Councilmembers each expressed further comments regarding growth con- cerns, followed by opinion of City Attorney Robert Jones regarding the question of legality of the motion at the previous meeting proposing a moratorium. - Mike Shelton, City Manager , expressed his understanding of Council consensus in this matter. No public comment.

MBS/cw Attachment (File:A5922) • To : ""ichael Shelton Atascadero City ',V!anager 'ar jory :Mackey Atascadero City "layor and members of the Atascadero City Council o ncil From: Shirley Summers Subject : Hospice Light up a Life Campaign Shirley 72"oore and I are chairing the Atascadero portion of- the Hospice fundraiser entitled "Light up a Life". Hospice is a nonprofit organization that assists the terminally ill and those people surrounding them, with the issues involved in deaths and dying. The"Light up a Life Campaign" involves the symbolic lighting of a light on a tree in honor of someone who is living, or in memory of someone who is deceased. The campaign will be open to all who wish to participate and • invitations will be sent to Hospice members, and others within the community wrio have shown an interest in Hospice. The invitations will request their presence at the tree lighting ceremony, and invite them to make a contribution to Hospice. A contribution of ;10.00 or more will symbolically light a light on the tree, and will place the name of the honoree in a register to be rept in a public location. The target date for the tree lighting ceremony will be December 4, if that does not conflict with the City plans to light it ' s Christmas 'Trees. The Hospice Tree will remain lighted for the entire month of December. The ceremony will consist of a choral presentation, an ecumenical address, the lighting of the tree, and refresh- :.ents. We are hoping to be able to coordinate the events so that ceremonies will be conducted simultaneously in each of the cities located within the County. 0 There are two financial sponsors to the event. They are County Savings Bank, and P.G.&E. Those businesses have donated the invitations and the lights. 'Ne would like to request that the City of Atascadero participate in the event by authorizing the use of a Juniper located near the fountain in the Sunken Gardens, or another tree that has electricty near enough to hook into. Hospice would be willing to obtain necessary permits, as established by the City of Atascadero, to hook into the existing electrical system. I understand from ,:ike Shelton, that the City can not donate the electricity necessary to light the tree for the month of December. V7e therefore will be willing to pay, as a. deduction from donations received,a reasonable fee, as established by the City Council to cover the cost of the electricity used. VVe will :Hake arrange:. ents for the installation of the lights, and for their re:ioval when the Campaign is ended. Thank you for your cooperation in this :natter. Vere will be approaching you later to ask your further support in declaring the date of the tree lighting ceremony as Hospice Day.

A02-NDA ITUA • M E M O R A N D U M TO: City Council Members FROM: Mike Shelton &k� SUBJECT: Employee of the Month - Debbie Terra DATE: September 22, 1986 I am pleased to announce the Employee of the Month Committee' s selection of Debbie Terra as August' s Employee of the Month. Debbie' s current employment began in June, 1985 , as a Clerical Assistant-I responsible for the PBX. Prior to this time, Debbie was previously employed in the Recreation Department for two and a half years. Because of an organizational change, new personnel and under- staffing, Debbie has taken on more and more job responsibilities, while still maintaining the high level of service to the public on the switchboard. During June and July, she typed the 200+ page budget document getting it ready for presentation to the Council. In August, she has taken on additional responsibilities in the finance area by inputting into the computer purchase orders and typing business licenses. Overriding these new res- ponsibilities are the ongoing responsibilities in the personnel area. She has become the City expert on medical insurance and workers compensation. During August, she has conducted eight simultaneous recruitments, two of which generated over 200 appli- cants each. Debbie, on her own time, has taught herself to use the word processor and has been doing the bulk of the depart- ment' s secretarial work. Debbie' s willingness and cooperative attitude has gained the support and respect of her peers and other City department personnel. MBS/cw (File:a9922) s VEF-W-37 AG!NDA IT 9122/86 ITEM A 10 TO: City Council Members_ _ September 22, 1986 FROM: Mike Shelton, City Manager 1 SUBJECT: COUNCIL/CITY MANAGER MANAGEMENT TRAINING RECOMMENDATION City Council authorize City Manager to enter into agreement with George Sipel Associates to conduct an organizational improvement workshop. DISCUSSION Attached is a proposal from George Sipel to provide consulting services for a City Council Workshop. The purpose of the workshop will serve to enhance understandings, develop leadership and policy direction skills, and build inter- working relationships with each other , the community and staff. ALTERNATIVE The League of California Cities provides council/manager communication seminars and team building seminars twice yearly. • The next seminar will be held November 19-21 at Lake Arrowhead. The cost is $450 per person, which includes all seminar and living expenses. These seminars have been ongoing for the last three years and are highly successful. FISCAL IMPACT In adopting fiscal year 1986-87 budget, Council budgeted funds to attend the League sponsored Council/Manager Seminar. Assuming engagement of Consultant George Sipel, equivalent funds budgeted for League seminars would be utilized. MS:kv File:MTrain AugGeorge Sipel Associates Individual, Team, and Organizational Improvement September 10, 1986 Mike Shelton City Manager City of Atascadero Box 747 Atascadero, Ca. 93423 Dear Mike, I an pleased to submit this proposal to provide consulting services for your City Council workshop. Let me first describe George Sipel Associates. In late 1979 I formed this small firm to assist local governments to work together more effectively. As you can see from the client list most of my work has been in California. It has focused on four levels: policy maker relationships, policy maker-administrator relationships; senior management; and department management. About two and a half years ago I formed an organization called The Center for Excellence in Local Government with two othereo le. Since that time P P we have adapted the best-selling book In Search of Excellence for local government, have developed handbooks, surveys and other training materials, and have conducted over 60 workshops nationwide for elected and appointed officials. I often use these materials as part of my team building work. Several things are important with respect to my approach. First, I like to learn as much about the community and organization as I can. Each city is different; what is effective in one may not be in another. I see my role as helping the City Council get to where it wants to go. I try not to impose my philosophy and style on an organization; however, I do have models and techniques that have proven to be effective in the past and I will recommend their use at appropriate times. Based on my understanding of your needs I propose to approach the assignment in the following manner: 215 Cowper Street Palo Alto, Califomia 94301 (415) 321-7479 f -2- Step I: Data Collection and Workshop Design - This step will take several forms. First, I will review written documents such as budgets, annual reports and perhaps press clippings. I will interview Council members and the City Manager for one hour asking them three basic questions: What is going well in the organization? Not so well? What would you like to see changed to be more effective? In addition, Council members and the City Manager will complete one or more pencil and paper instruments including a management style survey and a Council effectiveness rating form. The final part of the data collection step is observation at a Council meeting. Then I will develop a tentative workshop design and agenda and will review it with the group at the outset of the session. (1 consultant day.) Step II: Workshop There are four key points with respect to the workshop itself. First, the atmosphere should be conducive to learning, change and involvement. This is best accomplished out of town. If this is not possible politically or financially, a pleasant facility "off the beaten track" would be acceptable. Second, every participant must commit to being present the entire time. Third, I am very deliberate in setting the scene, providing groundrules for all (including press and public) and developing a positive climate for change. Finally, I endeavor to get the group to focus on specific actions they can take back with them to improve effectiveness. I maintain a list of "action plans" which includes what will be done, who will do it, and when. In conducting the workshop I use a series of brief exercises and short lectures to introduce subjects. The bulk of the time is spent as a group (or in smaller groups) dealing with priority issues. Depending on the group these issues may relate to interpersonal relationships, meeting effectiveness, role clarification, formal communications, goal setting, priority setting and problem solving on specific issues. At the end of the workshop I provide typewritten notes of the proceedings for participants. (1.5 consultant days.) Step III: Follow up Normally, I bring the group back together 90 days after the workshop to review progress, identify and mitigate obstacles and celebrate achievements. (0.5 consultant days.) i -3- Below is the cost for the project: Professional services: 3 days @ $800.00 = 52,400.00 Materials, supplies and clerical 100.00 Travel, meals and lodging (estivate) 500.00 TOTAL: $3,000.00 This price assumes that the City will pay for lodging, meals, meeting room and accommodations for all participants. I have reserved October 13 - 15 for the interviews and workshop. Please call if you have questions. Sincerely yours, George A. Sipel ]w enclosures i RESUME George A.

SUBJECT: General Plan Conformity Report: County and City Property Transfers On September 15, 1986, the Planning Commission considered the above- referenced subject under, unanimously recommending to the City Council that the proposed property transfers listed in the attached staff report would be in conformance -with the City' s adopted General Plan but would suggest that the Council seek sidewalk improvements along • Parcel 4 (Armory property) and Parcel 1 (Capistrano) . HE:ps i A� City of Atascadero Item: C-1 STAFF REPORT FOR: Planning Commission Meeting Date: 9/15/86 BY: Henry Engen, Community Devel. Director - Project Address: Various Sites SUBJECT: General Plan Conformity Report: County and City Property Transfers BACKGROUND: As indicated in the accompanying memorandum from City Manager , Michael Shelton, the City has been negotiating with the County of San Luis Obispo in the matter of disposition of properties in which interest has been shared between the County and City. These negotiations have reached a point where it is timely to have a report from the Planning Commission to the City Council with respect to their conformity with the City' s General Plan. Government Code Section 65402 (a) states as follows: (65402 (a) ) - "If a general plan or part thereof has been adopted, no real property shall be acquired by dedication or otherwise for streets, square, park, or other public purposes, and no real pro- perty shall be disposed of, no street shall be vacated or aban- doned, and no public building or structure shall be constructed or authorized, if the adopted general plan or part thereof applies thereto, until the location, purpose, and extent of such acquisi- tion or disposition, such street vacation or abandonment, or such public building or structure have been submitted to and reported upon by the planning agency as to conformity with said adopted general plan or part thereof. " ANALYSIS: As indicated in the attached communication of August 15, 1986 from the County Department of General Services, several parcels of land are proposed to be conveyed to the City of Atascadero (Parcels A, B, and C) and the City is being asked to convey by quit claim deed any interest in Parcels 1, 2, 3, and 4 to the County to clarify ownership. With respect to proposed Parcels 1 and 3, the City is also been offered a 50 year lease of the ground for a future City police station (refer to attached exhibits) . Parcel A: This parcel is located on Sycamore Road and is designated on the • City' s General Plan for Moderate Density Single Family Residential and is zoned RSF-Y (minimum lot size one acre with sewer, one and one-half acres without sewer) . The County recently sought to sell the parcel �z as surplus, but in response to concerns of the Atascadero Mutual Water Company and a neighboring ,property' owner , they are offering it back to thei C ty. During past flooding situations,. this property provided access to the Salinas River for emergency equipment toP rotect the rear yards of homes in this subdivision. Acceptance of the property by the City would keep that option open. While no other public use appears probable, the City could conceivably declare the property as surplus for future re-sale while retaining an access easement through the property to the flood plain area. Parcel B: This property lies northerly of the Henderson field on Traffic Way immediately south of an industrial park zone. Property appears on the General Plan map as Public and has been zoned as P-Public. The exist- ing use is vacant with the lot actually being used for random parking of cars and trucks. Acquisition of the property would square off pub- lic ownership with land use to the south and it would be consistent with the City' s General Plan. Parcel C: The small parcel at the corner of Pismo and Highway 41 is designated on the General Plan for Recreation and has been zoned L (Recreation) . It had been actually been thought to be in City ownership as part of the transfer of the Zoo and the Atacadero Lake properties to the City upon incorporation. Its acquisition would round out the City's owner- ship along Highway 41 in front of the City Zoo consistent with the General Plan Map. The parcel is presently vacant. Parcels 1, 2, and 3 : These are properties containing the County clinic. The County is requesting that the title be cleared by quit claiming any interest the City may have in the property to the County. Concurrently, the City has negotiated leasing slightly over one acres (see attached Exhibit A) - which is a portion of Parcels 1 and 3 - for development of a police station site. The County is offering the property free for a 50 year lease. As noted in the attached maps, the property would have access off of Capistrano and ultimately front on Highway 41. The Gen- eral Plan designates the area for high density multi-family residen- tial and it has been zoned RMF-16. With respect to a police station location, the General Plan was amended on June 23, 1986 to contain the following language relative to police protection: "Prior to incorporation, the City' s police services were provided by the Sheriff' s substation facility located in the Masonic Temple building in the Civic Center area. Upon incorporation, police services were located in the City Administration Building. The configuration of the building does not lend itself to an appropri- ate police facility. A study should be made of the optimum loca- tion for a police facility to serve the City' s needs at full build-out. It would be desirable to locate such facilities in or near the central business area. r Optimum location for a police facility is not as conditioned on distribution of population - as is the case for fire stations. Police services are mobile and, therefore, the location is more flexible. It would be desirable to have the new police facility located in relation to other public facilities as noted above. Ready access to the arterial road system, however , is necessary. " The proposed location adjoining to the County Clinic off of Hospital Drive is central to the community, will be accessible to Highway 41, and is in proximity to the central area of the City and, hence, appears fully consistent with the criteria set forth in the City' s General Plan. Parcel 4: This property is presently occupied by the Armory and the County has not indicated a willingness to transfer ownership to the City. Again, the part of the negotiation involving Parcels A, B, and C it is being proposed that the City transfer any rights to Parcel 4 to the County. It is indicated on the General Plan for public use and is zoned P-Public. RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the City Council that the proposed property transfers listed above would be in conformance with the City' s adopted General Plan.

BACKGROUND: Recently, upon completion of renegotiating the property tax split between the City and County, the County identified various properties in the City which belonged to the County. The County expressed a desire to clarify ownership claims and final dispo- sition of the properties. Through a long negotiating process, the City and County reached an outcome which resulted in properties being transferred to the City, the City receiving a long-term lease of a potential public facility site, and the City foregoing further claims to certain properties which will remain under County ownership. Proper documents have been prepared and are being reviewed to execute the tentative agreement reached. Prior to the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors executing these agreements, it is necessary for the Planning Commission to make findings that the properties proposed for transfer or lease to the City are in conformity with the General Plan.

Jorgensen, Admin. Services Dir. Mike Shelton, City Manager / Lk From: Jette Christiansson, Acctg. Supervisor Date: September 22, 1986 Subject: Returned Check Policy RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council approve the following Returned Check Policy as outlined in Exhibit A. DISCUSSION In reviewing our existing returned check procedure, I noted the lack of a written policy. Finance conducted a survey of the policies adopted by the various cities in San Luis Obispo County and, based upon the findings, is proposing the following policy be approved by the Council. • Exhibit A City of Atascadero Returned Check Policy Procedure Mid-State Bank automatically runs returned checks through twice. If they are unable to collect after the second time, the check is returned to the City and our account is charged. Once the check is returned to the City, Finance calls the bank the check is drawn on to see if there are sufficient funds in the account. If there are sufficient funds, the check is re- deposited at Mid-State. If there are not sufficient funds, or the check is returned a second time, Finance calls the person/ company who issued the check to advise them the check was re- turned. They are advised that they have one week to come and make good the check and that a $10.00 penalty will be assessed. If the check has not been made good within the time allotted, the check will be turned over to the Police Dept. for collection. The department that originally received the check will be notified when a check has been returned so that they may stop all work in progress. They will also be notified when the check has been made good so that they may resume work. • } RESOLUTION 109-86 RESOLUTION OF' THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR RETURNED CHECKS WHEREAS, the City sometimes receives check that they are unable to deposit due to insufficient funds; WHEREAS, these checks are not only illegal but cost additional taxpayers money to collect; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Atascadero does hereby adopt the Returned Check Policy as detailed in Exhibit A and established a $10.00 returned check charge to be assessed against those checks the bank returns for insufficient funds. On motion by Councilperson and seconded by Councilperson , the foregoing resolution is hereby adopted in its entirety on the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ADOPTED: CITY OF ATASCADERO, CALIFORNIA By: MARJORIE R.

On August 18, 1986 , the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the above-referenced subject, unanimously approving the application • subject to the findings and conditions contained in the attached staff report. It should be noted that after discussion, the conditions were amended as reflected in the revised conditions of approval which are attached. Tom Vaughan with Twin Cities Engienering, representing the applicant, expressed several concerns with regard to the proposed conditions and asked that the Commission consider amending Condition #7 as the appli- cant' s desire is to post a bond for these improvements to be completed within a year ' s time rather than prior to recordation of the final map. The Commission felt that all improvements should be installed prior to sale- and/or development of the lots that are being created. There was discussion among the Commission concerning the need to have the future private road fully paved to accommodate all of the proposed lots which will be created.

Environmental Status. . . . . . . . .Negative Declaration posted July 18, 1986 C. ANALYSIS: The property proposed for subdivision is located in the RSF-X zone. The minimum lot size in this zone is one-half acre. Each of the lots proposed in this application meets or exceeds the min- imum lot size requirement of this zone. The subject property currently contains one single family dwelling and a barn. The new lots being created are located to the rear of the existing dwelling. Access to these new lots will be by a pri- vate road from Coromar. If this road is improved to City stand- ards, it would allow for eventual acceptance of the road into the City-maintained system. If the road is improved to a lesser standard, it will remain a private road to be maintained under the provisions of a road maintenance agreement. The access road will also serve as a Public Utilities Easement allowing the rear lots to be connected to the sewer line existing in Coromar . The entire area surrounding the subject parcel was the subject of recent General Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments allowing for the establishment of one-half acre lots. The proposal before the Commission is in conformance with the new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance provisions. Staff believes that the type and density of development proposed is appropriate for the neighborhood. D. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends conditional approval of Tentative Tract Map 20-86 based on the Findings in Exhibit A and the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit B.

Background: The California Park and Recreational Act of 1984 made available $10 million for historic preservation. This allocation was divided into three annual portions: $4 million distributed July 1, 1985 (the . City of Atascadero received the largest single grant allocation in the amount of $300,000) , $3 million in 1986 , and the final $3 million to be distributed July 1, 1987 . Fiscal Impact: The maximum grant amount is $300,000 of which 10% must be matching funds. The matching $30 ,000 would be made available from the $.50 tax. 3 RESOLUTION NO. 110-86 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO APPROVING THE APPLICATION AND THE PROJECT AGREEMENT FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION GRANT FUNDS FOR ADMINISTRATION BUILDING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FROM THE CALIFORNIA PARK AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES ACT OF 1984 WHEREAS, the Legislature under the California Park and Recreational Act of 1984 has authorized the establishment of a His- toric Preservation Grant Program, providing matching funds to the po- litical subdivisions of the State for historic preservation projects; and WHEREAS, the California Office of Historic Preservation in the Department of Parks and Recreation is responsible for the administra- tion of the program within the State, setting up necessary rules and procedures governing application by local agencies under the program; and WHEREAS, said adopted procedures established by the Department of Parks and Recreation require the applicant to certify by resolution the approval of applications and the availability of local matching funds prior to submission of said applications to the State; .

County Visitors & Convention Bureau DATE: September 22, 1986 Recommendation City support S.L.O. County Visitors & Conference Bureau (VCB) and, in accordance with VCB budget formula, contribute $1,000 from Council contingency funds for Fiscal Year 1986-87 . Contri- bution to be contingent upon support from the County and cities of San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay and Pismo Beach. Discussion Attached are handouts explaining the purpose of the proposed • S.L.O. County VCB, the proposed operational structure, the Fiscal Year 1986-87 budget and the proposed County-wide funding formula. To be present at your Council meeting will be Jonni S. Eylar , Director of S.L.O. County VCB, and Dave Garth, S.L.O. Chamber Director, to make an informational presentation and answer ques- tions you may have. The Atascadero Chamber Board of Directors has previously received this presentation, has gone on record in support of the County VCB and recommends your support. Ms. Eylar will inform you as to support pledged by the three cities and County who are responsible for 85% of the proposed local govern- ment budget. As a brief recap: - The Bureau will serve to provide County-wide advertising and a direct sales program; - The Bureau ' s purpose is to fill motel rooms, increase tax revenues, provide jobs and increase local economic growth; - Total proposed budget for Fiscal Year 1986-87 is $252,000 , 50% to be funded by government funds and 50% by supporting membership dues; - Of local government support, Atascadero is asked to provide $1,000 of a $126 ,000 budget; - Organizational structure calls for a 17-member steering committee from communities at large responsible to the City of San Luis Obispo' s Chamber Board of Directors. 1 Comments Local government contribution is gauged on local motel bed tax (transient occupancy tax) intake. Atascadero' s contribution of $1,000 represents 1.25% of the estimated $80 ,000 transient occu- pancy tax to be received this fiscal year. As a funding formula, this method of distribution appears to be fair. Our nominal con- tribution will insure inclusion of Atascadero' s tourist-related amenities & facilities in the advertising and promotional ef- forts. Fiscal Impact Unknown; anticipate direct revenue offset to the City through increased transient occupancy taxes (6% of hotel bed cost) , in- creased zoo contributions, increased tourist-related sales taxes and increased property taxes from new tourist-related businesses that may be generated.

History For many years the Central Coast has been an important stopover place for travelers going North and South along Highway 101 and for San Joaquin Valley residents coming to enjoy the Coast . This tourism, which took place mostly in the summer, gradually became more and more important to San Luis Obispo County and its cities. According to the latest figures from the California Office of Tourism, tourists to San Luis Obispo County in 1984 spent almost $300-million, and directly accounted for over 6300 jobs . For the most part , residents took this industry and its benefits for granted. No one really had to work very hard to keep the tourists. Promotional and marketing efforts were fragmented and uncoordinated--but the tourists came anyway. The Central Coast was just being discovered, the competition was not that aggressive, and there were not that many rooms to fill . But in late 1985 , it became obvious to some of the local leaders of this industry that all of this might soon change. The industry which we had come to depend on, and largely ignored, was threatened. Because of lower interest rates and a greater supply of construction funds, a hotel and motel building boom was on throughout the state. Statewide, the supply of rooms was predicted to rise by 16% in 1986 . occupancy rates were sure to drop. In response to this developing supply crisis, tourism promotion agencies throughout California went into high gear They -expanded their alreadV-- uge promotional-bu ge s, refined their marketing plans, and expanded their services. Even smaller cities like Redding budgeted $498,000 for tourism promotion! Their goal: to grab a larger share of the travel market, and, as a result, take market share from everyone else, including the Central Coast. At the same time, a mini-boom in new hotel-motel construction and remodeling was occurring -on the Central Coast. Many smaller properties were adding rooms. Small and middle size motels were under construction. And several large hotels and motel hotels were started. It became obvious that a 35% increase in available rooms would occur In 1986-87. This could provide a tremendous economic boost to the area by providing up to $75 million in new tourist San Luis Obispeounty Visitors & ConfereAR Bureau 2 Organizational Plan--July, 1986 spending, 2 , 000 new jobs in tourism, and $1 , 757,000 in new tax revenues to cities . However, those in the tourism industry knew that the benefit of these new rooms would not be gained unless they were full . Filling these rooms and the existing ones would take more than the uncoordinated efforts of the past. Several of the tourism industry leaders from throughout the County approached the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce to found the San Luis Obispo County Visitors and Conference Bureau.- After much discussion and refinement by the Chamber 's countywide tourism committee, the Board of the Chamber voted on April 8, 1986, to create such a bureau. Most counties in which tourism is important have a Visitors and Conference Bureau-like organization, sometimes called a Convention and Visitors Bureau. These organizations usually are predominately government funded, and pool the resources of several cities into an industry back promotional group. Their primary goal is to increase tourism to their area through promotion, advertising, and direct sales. They also try to attract groups and conferences, since this is the most profitable type of tourism to the local community. . The goal of the founders of the local VCB was to create an organization which would go beyond the visitors services and public relations of the local Chambers of Commerce, and develop a truly county-wide advertising and direct sales program. This is work that would not duplicate the work of the area's Chambers of Commerce, who for the most part concentrate on promotion of their individual communities. B. Situation Analysis--1986 o Statewide hotel and motel building boom. o Much greater promotion efforts by competing destinations and attractions. o Local increase in supply of rooms.- • Occupancy rates begin to drop. o Fragmented, limited marketing of San Luis Obispo County. o More conference facilities available locally. s San Luis Obis County Visitors & Conferee Bureau 3 Organizational Plan--July, 1986 C. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES o To maintain and enlarge San Luis Obispo County's market share of the state ' s tourism business in an increasingly competitive environment . o To increase tourism to San Luis Obispo County, especially in the off-season. o To enhance San Luis Obispo County's image as a travel destination, rather that just a stopover point . o To build small group and conference business to this County, with groups of five to 600 . o To enhance the tourism industry's image with local residents . The overwhelming feeling of most of those involved with . the tourism industry has been that marketing San Luis Obispo County as a package could be the key to much greater share of the travel market. Coordinated marketing efforts of the County as a destination rather than just a stop-over, would develop new travel customers, and lead to longer stay, of those who do come. The County as a vacation area has a tremendous amount to offer: beaches, lakes, Hearst Castle, missions, gorgeous scenery, fishing, boating, fine restaurants, wineries, shopping--as an area we have it all ! But the cold hard facts are that none of the communities individually have enough to offer as a true destination. We are realizing now that the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. The attractions of this county have been here for a long time. But, by promoting them in a fragmented way, we have failed to take advantage of them. It's as if a new car had one agency promoting the engine, another the fenders, and another the tires. But no one was promoting the car! Becoming a destination will greatly add to efforts to extend the tourist season. By building up the "shoulder" seasons, and by strengthening the current off-season, - tremendous economic benefits will occur. Tax revenues and jobs will increase and stabilize with no increase in facilities. The decision to include group business was an easy one. Group-- tourists, which we now were able to host, spend almost twice the amount of non-group tourists, or about $125 per day. Their visits occur often in the off-season when they will create the greatest economic and human benefit, and almost always during the week, when rooms are available. Group tourists benefit almost every business and every San Luis Obispoounty Visitors & Conferent Bureau 4 Organizational Plan--July, 1986 resident of the communities they visit . Since groups come in all sizes from four to 400, almost any hotel or motel can host them. Because they fill rooms that might otherwise be empty, they help keep occupancy rates up for all properties . And overflow from large groups •often goes to smaller motels . But , only a small portion of spending is done in motels and hotels . Most is done at other establishments, especially restaurants and retail stores. Like all tourists , their spending creates jobs, and keeps local taxes down. San Luis Obispo County will have a 35% increase in rooms during 1986 and early 1987. Without new group business and additional promotion, many of the County's rooms will be vacant, and their contribution to local taxes and jobs will be zero. In today's much more competitive environment , this could lead to disaster. D. Organizational Structure Steering Committee develops policy and direction for VCB, _for final approval by Chamber Board of Directors . Steering Committee has same legal status as other Chamber committees. Steering Committee composed of 17 members of the VCB; 15 elected by the members of the VCB, plus two designated members: the president of the San Luis Obispo Chamber, and a representative of the San Luis Obispo County Mayors and Managers Association. Elected Steering Committee members to be elected by the VCB members, one vote per member. Steering Committee to include: Six representatives from lodging businesses without full service conference facilities. Five representatives from full-service conference facilities. Four representatives from non-lodging VCB members (such as airlines, car rental firms, attractions, theatres, restaurants, etc. ) Steering Committee Chairperson to be elected by members of the Steering Committee. San Luis Obis County Visitors & Conferee Bureau 5 Organizational Plan--July, 1986 E. Methods and Functions The Bureau founders felt that it was critical to develop a structure that was truly representative of the entire county, and then create. a program that complemented and enhanced the work of the area ' s Chambers of Commerce, and didn' t duplicate their efforts . o Hire an experienced tourism marketing professional to direct and coordinate the functions of the' Bureau. o Create and implement the San Luis Obispo County's first coordinated and planned marketing campaign, stressing the benefits of the area as a destination. o Use direct sales by telephone and in person, at sales conferences, association meetings , travel trade shows and other conferences to develop new sources of individual and group business. o Develop new, coordinated countywide sales materials and brochures. i Everyone Benefits!

Eligibility to serve on steering committee. San Luis Obispoounty Visitors & Confere* Bureau 9 Organizational Plan--July, 1986 J . General business benefits Tourism is San Luis Obispo County 's fastest growing industry. Any increase in tourism affects every business in the county, both through direct spending of tourists , and by the indirect spending of those business people and employees in the tourism business. K. Community benefits Tourism provides sound , clean economic growth which translates into new and better jobs for those people working in this county. Tourism focuses attention on the natural and man-made beauty of the area , and thus aids in its protection. The taxes paid by tourists substantially reduce the tax burden on local residents . Tourists support and make possible the high calibre of cultural events of our area . Tourism helps create services which would not normally be available in rural areas, such as fine restaurants . By increasing off season tourism, the VCB will make tourism jobs more stable and less prone to off-season layoffs .

Under the leadership of the San Luis Obipso Chamber of Commerce, the San Luis Obispo County Visitors and Confernce Bureau has been created to effectively and professionally market San Luis Obipso County as a tourism destination. The bureau will be led by a steering committee of volunteer tourism i professionals from throughout the county. The VCB will be funded fifty percent through tourist-paid motel taxes and fifty percent by dues paid by businesses. The bureau is requesting 3.5 percent of the motel tax collected by each city in the county. 0 The VCB staff will be headed by marketing and sales veteran Jonni E lar. E lar's Y Y experience includes topmarketing and sales positions with both large and small resort properties in the Aspen, Colorado area, and VCB experience with the Snowmass Resort Association. Her speciality has been the formation of comprehensive marketing plans and coalescing business and community support for tourism promotion. "Immediate goals for the San Luis Obispo County VCB will be enhance SLO County as a vacation destination, to develop off-season tourism and to pursue small and immediate group tourism business, " said Eylar. This will be accomplished through an extensive direct mail and advertising campaign, direct sales at trade and travel shows, and contacts made with travel agents and tour operators. According to the latest figures from the California Office of Tourism, lourists to San Luis Obispo County in 1984 spent almost $300 million, and directly accounted for over 6300 jobs. 1039 Ch 'o Street• San Luis Obispo, California 93401 • Administrative Offices(805) 543-1328• Information Services (805) 543-1323 :N^v AG77NOA _ 9/22/86 !'"IA# C - 1 TO: City Council Members September 22, 1986 FROM: Michael Shelton �/� City Manager 4L_1 a SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL - CITY ATTORNEY RECOMMENDATION: City Council direct City Manager to advertise availability of Request for Proposal document for City Attorney services in accordance with advertising and selection methodology outlined in this memorandum. DISCUSSION: Attached is a proposed "Request for Proposal" for Council consideration to be utilized in soliciting Attorney proposals to provide City Attorney services. Upon Council approval, this doc- ument will be sent to individuals or firms who may be interested in applying. In an effort to obtain several proposals for Council consideration, staff will conduct an extensive recruitment, including a personal mail out to contract City Attorneys serving neighboring cities, sending proposals to member Attorneys of the League of California Cities Tri-County Municipal Attorney Association, advertising in local newspapers, advertising in Job Finders (a professional municipal publication) , and targeting Los Angeles and San Francisco legal publications. The purpose of the latter is not to hire a Los Angeles or San Francisco Attorney, but rather to make a large legal profession aware of the City Attorney opportunity here on the Central Coast in the event they may want to consider relocation. Based on publication deadlines and providing adequate time for response, it is recommended that the deadline for submitting proposals be set on November 3, 1986. A preliminary screening committee, designated by the City Council, will conduct a preliminary screening by Novemer 7, 1986 , and the City Council will conduct interviews during the week of November 10 , 1986 . Appointment is proposed to be made at the November 24, 1986 Council Meeting. In the interim between interviews and formal appointment, background checks, selection, and contract negotiations are to be conducted. ALTERNATIVES: Direct staff to conduct a full-time Attorney recruitment. Such a recruitment, however , will result in considerably higher costs due more hours, support staff (Secretary) and supplies (Law Library) costs.

Discussion: Norma Dengler and John Sholte of the County Planning Staff arranged a meeting with the City Public Works Director, themselves and Daniel A. Maglionico, the consultant for the Plan, on Tuesday, Sept- ember 16. Each point addressed by City Staff was discussed at length and the following was determined: (1) That mandatory collection could not and would not be imposed upon the City of Atascadero unless done so by the City Council but that the issue should be addressed with respect to feasibility in part or all of the City; (2) That solving problems of Los Osos and other areas should not be a financial burden of the residents that neither impact or benefit from such solutions, and that impact districts may be the proper method to analize for mitigation fees. i (3) That Resource Recovery, and recycling are first priori t with certain members of the Ad Hoc Advisory Committee, but that pr grams should be evaluated seriously prior to implementation, and mu be cost effective and proven programs: (4) That the Chicago Grade Landfill is not presently planned for expansion, but that consideration should be given in the plan for future enlargement at which time input with regard to surcharge fees would be discussed with the City of Atascadero prior to implementation of the same; (5) That the ACSD should be considered as an economically feasible station to accept septic tank waste, but that modifications or expansion may be necessary to handle grease, or other special, non- hazardous wastes; (6) That a household hazardous waste program has recently been mandated by the State to be included in solid waste plans, but that the programs that the County Plan implements should be workable, cost effective and perhaps voluntary; (7) That it is the intent of the County Planning Staff to recommend that a member of each of the seven City Councils be rep- resented on the Solid Waste Commission, and that the Board of Super- visors desires the same; and (8) That funding formulas should be fair, equitable and bas on impact or benefit, but that thbse county-wide problems that affe the citizens informaly should be supported by all residents of the County. Discussion: Staff feels that the County would most likely get a conditional approval from the City of San Luis Obispo on the 22nd, thus achieving over the 50% quota of City adoption prior to the September 23 Board of Supervisors meeting. However , it is obvious, due to their latest effort to address Atascadero' s concerns, that the County Planning Staff and the Board of Directors is both seeking unity in the ap- proval, and is sensitive to our concerns. Staff has requested a letter of intent that specifically addresses our concerns of plan implementation and fiscal impact. That letter is being drafted at this time but may not be received prior to the distribution of -the agenda package on Wednesday. The recommen- dations within this report are predicated upon a favorable and adequate letter giving assurance that our concerns will be properly addressed. Fiscal Impact: Unknown. However, the City is verbally assured that a ]* implementation funding will be presented to the City prior to approv by the BoarI3 of Sudervisors. 2 o San Luis Obispo County planning Department County Government Center San Luis Obispo California 93408 (805)549-5600 Paul C.Crawford,AICP September 17, 1986 Planning Director Mr. Paul Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works City of Atascadero P. 0. Boz 747 Atascadero, CA. 93422 Dear Mr. Sensibaugh: Your staff report of September 2, 1986 to the City Council expressed concerns with various issues in the final draft of the county Solid Waste Management Plan. In order to clarify the county's position on your concerns, please be advised that staff will recommend and the Board of Supervisors intends to appoint an elected official from each city to serve on the proposed Solid Waste Commission. The County Board of Supervisors has no jurisdiction with regard to mandatory collection programs within incorporated areas. In addition, the county is not proposing to charge Atascadero residents through collection fees for costs associated with the Los Osos Landfill or any other facility improvement that does not benefit the city. I hope this clarification of the county's position to your concerns will allow the City Council to approve the Solid Waste Management Plan on September 22, 1986. Sincerely, YAUL C. WFORD Planning Director 5658-1 RESOLUTION NO. 104-86 RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO APPROVING THE COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN WHEREAS, the County of San Luis Obispo has prepared a County Solid Waste Management Plan (CoSWMP) as required by the Solid Waste `Management and Resource Recovery Act of 1972; and WHEREAS, said Plan is an updated policy document designed to guide future County efforts to provide efficient, sanitary, economic, and enviornmentally sound methods of waste storage, col- lection, and disposal through 2005; and WHEREAS, the California Government Code, Title 14, Sections 17144, 17146 and 14147 require approval of the Plan by a majority of the cities within the County which contain a majority of the popula- tion of the incorporated area of the County; and WHEREAS, said Plan has been submitted to the City of Atascadero for approval pursuant to the aforesaid sections of the California Government Code; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Atascadero has reviewed said Plan, conducted a public hearing, and concurs in t following: 1.

Background Staff presented a report on May 7 , 1986 that supported the Draft plan excepting specific issues discussed above. (copy attached) This report was sent to the County to be addressed by the Consultant for the San Luis Obispo County Solid Waste Management Plan. The final Draft has softened its language to treat some of the topics in more general terms and indicate that all items be studied or addressed or considered. Staff does not find this acceptable. While staff agrees wi many of the general goals and recognizes the importance of all t 00 items addressed, it still appears that our residents mays have to pt;_ an unfair share of the costs of solving someone elses problems. We j 0 • agree that perhaps a new position is warranted in the County Engi- neering Department, and that the monies to support that position come from sources other than the County General Fund. However , we feel strongly that those who benefit or impact the problem should pay for the mitigation of the same. Summary The purpose of not adopting the attached resolution would not be to slow down the county plan, but would rather be to protect the citizens of Atascadero from unknown, unforseen or unfair costs. Reso- lution No. is presented for Councils consideration as requested by the County Planning Department. Fiscal Impact Unknown. Attachments Staff Report - May 7 , 1986 SLOCo. SWMP Exerpts (Implementation Recommendations, Funding) (A complete copy of the Management Plan is available in the office of the Director of Public Works) 2 �'i MEMORANDUM TO: City Council A THROUGH: Mike Shelton, City Manager FROM: Paul Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: San Luis Obispo County Solid Waste Management Plan - Preliminary Draft DATE: May 7 , 1986 Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council support the above plan in general, but that it take exception to some or all of the issues highlighted by staff to not benefit Atascadero users. Background: The City is in receipt of the above document for official comment to the Advisory Committee. (Staff member Sensibaugh sits on said Committee) . The report is an update of the 1977 plan which was administered through existing county offices. The new plan is intended to be self-supported and the revenues are anti- cipated to come from landfill or collection surcharges, a de- velopment fee, or related methods. A new administrator will be hired to oversee the new division and to implement the plan. It is suggested that one of the priority tasks will be to "determine 0 how the Incorporated Cities will contribute to the system" . Consultant Recommendations: 1) General - Board of Supervisors approve plan and forward to the California Waste Management Board for approval. 2) Waste Collection - Evaluate mandatory collection for the more densely populated areas. 3) Waste Transfer - Evaluate transfer station at Los Osos Landfill and in the Lake Nacimento area, and others identified in the County General Plan. 4) Resource Recovery - Evaluate alternatives to landfill disposal. 5) Waste Disposal - Evaluate expansion of the Chicago Grade Landfill, and a possible replacement for the Cold Canyon Land- fill. _D1 6) Special Wastes - Evaluate current disposal of septic tank pumpings, chemical toilet waste and sewage plant sludge. 7) Hazardous Wastes - Prepare a program for disposal of household hazardous substances. 8) Management and Funding - Evaluate added personnel to help administer program. Implement additional sources of revenue to supplement the . County General Fund for administering the program. Discussion- Atascadero Municipal Code Sections 6-4.01 to 6-5.07 provide authority for the County to act as the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) for Solid Wastes Management as required by State Statutes. Staff agrees with the overall objectives to ensure the protection of the general public health, minimize the impacts of solid waste upon the environment, ensure compliance with govern- ment goals and regulations, provide adequate facilities, provide for efficient management of the County solid waste system, in- corporate technology, coordinate with other environmental pro- grams, develop a feasible plan and maximize the recovery of waste when cost effective. Concerns: There are some concerns by staff, however, that Atascadero residents may end up paying for work that directly benefits others, and that non-productive tasks may be emphasized. Specifically, (1) Mandatory Collection Evaluation. The layout of our city is not necessarily conducive to mandatory col- lection. The cost to the customer to be serviced would be directly proportional to the distance from the center of town. Many colony roads have fewer than five homes. The City maintains over 120 miles of streets and there is again that number of non-city maintained roads. In a typical grid layout or con- centrated subdivision the cost is normally lowered by the in- crease in customers. This is questionable, at best, in Atas- cadero. ; (2) Transfer Stations. Stations at the Los Osos Land- fill and Lake Nacimento should not be a burden of the Atascadero Customers. ; (3) Re5our$e Recovery. While an excellent idea and promoted by our City, this has been studied over and again and is often not feasible. Limited time should be spend on evaluation, and the use of existing knowledge is encouraged: (4) Expansion of the Chicago Grade Landfill. We need more detail on the need for this, but if the expansion is unrelated to Atascadero, our cus- tomers should not share in any landfill surcharges for the same; (5) Replacement of the Cold Canyon Landfill. Again our residents should not share in this special benefit to other users; . (6) Special Wastes. The ACSD wastewater plant already provides for septic tank pumping and we handle our own sludge. Limited value 2 n, MEMORANDUM TO: City Council THROUGH: Mike Shelton, City Manager ' FROM: Paul Sensibaugh, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Drafttnvironmental Impact Report for the San Luis Obispo County Draft Solid Waste Management Plan DATE: July 22, 1986 Recommendation: Approve the Draft EIR with reemphasis on the adverse economic impact of mandatory refuse collection in Atascadero, and for household hazardous wastes mitigation. Heavy restric- tions on the future expansion of the Chicago Grade Landfill may also have an adverse economic impact to citizens. Background: Council was previously presented the Draft Solid Waste Management Plan and through staff made comments to the County regarding the same (Staff report attached. ) The Draft EIR for that plan is now under review and your comments are being sought. A summary of the findings are attached for your review. A com- plete copy of the report is available in the Director of Public Works' office. Discussion: This is the second step of several that must be taken to finally adopt the Management Plan. All cities in the County will eventually be asked for their stamp of approval. Any pro- jects that result due to the Management Plan will be required to have individual EIR' s, the draft EIR discussed herein pertains only to the Management Plan. 1 is seen here for us. ; (7) Househbld Hazardous Wastes. We are very skeptical about any programs of this nature. While the philosophy is ideal, the regulation seems impossible. The sep- eration of household waste (at higher costs for disposal of aerosol cans, chemical containers, etc) may lend to dishonesty, police-state tactics and other off-the-wall administrative night- mares. Voluntary measures are encouraged but not very practical for good results. Time Schedule: Comments to the preliminary draft plan are due May 12. Based on comments from all agencies and the Advisory Committee, the Draft EIR is presented to all of the same, allowing 45 days for comment. The Draft County Solid Waste Management Plan is then revised and the final EIR prepared. A county public hearing is then held where the Board certifies the EIR and approves the Draft Draft County solid Waste Management Plan. The incorporated cities receive the County Solid Waste Management Plan for review and approval. Approval is required by 50% of the incorporated cities, allowing 90 days for response. The approved plan is then submitted to the California Waste Managment Board for review and approval. Fiscal Impact: Funding. The citizens of our City no doubt should share in the general benefit of the plan to the County, including the items objected to above. We question, however , if their con- tribution through their normal taxes to the County General Fund isn' t adequate for that purpose. 3
