(SLORTA): Mayor Arrambide distributed to the Council copies of bills
currently before the State Assembly and Senate pertaining to housing.
Through the League of California Cities there is an effort to form an
organization, to go by the acronym of LOCAL (Leave Our Community Assets
Local), which is an extension of the grass roots movement to organize local
city governments and contains four basic elements: 1 ) essential local
services should not be sacrificed to solve State budget problems, 2) local
taxes and fees paid by local residents should stay in the community to fund
local services, 3) local governments and local revenues are already part of •
the State budget solution, and 4) State government should balance the
budget without taking more money from local communities. Mayor

of Negative Declarations. After I appealed staff's decision Mrs. Davis withdrew her
application and voluntarily agreed to a comprehensive EIR. The EIR revealed that this
would be an expensive project to develop. No surprises to whomever developed it.
I was prepared that the property would at sometime be developed but at least I knew it
had been redesigned to minimize impacts. Now I find out that planning staff and the
developer are proposing significant changes and the public has not been informed or
allowed any input.
• 1. The Comprehensive Restoration Plan completely ignores our Tree Ordinance with
regard to replanting or paying into the tree fund if replanting is not feasible and ignores
the EIR with regard to canopy coverage. My question is why did staff let this happen.
Why have you ignored our Tree Ordinance?
2. The developer is recommending the removal of retaining walls. Because of cuts as
high as 20 feet retaining walls were an integral part of the EIR. Retaining walls are
expensive but this was in the EIR. He knew the requirements when he bought the parcel.
3. Maps, without topographical lines, show dots where there are trees. The dots do not
tell us the tree canopy, species of tree or trunk diameter. This is no more than a rough
rendering but it appears that decisions are being made on the basis of this map.
4. Staff is making deals with the developer based on total amount of cut and fill and
number of trees removed. Their decision is 'ustified by a table.
EIR Appendix B Proposed Construction ..Impacts Difference
Native Tree Removal 407 Trees 390 Trees -17 trees
Cut slope 4.56 acres 4. 15 acres -0.41 acres
Fill Slopes 5.21 acres 5.04 acres -0.17 acres
Oil
Nothing is said about the site, about the size or species of tree. •
Hearing about the developer's reputation in Arroyo Grande some of us from ANTA met
with Wade McKinney and Warren Frace in anticipation of problems with tree protection.
I never would have anticipated that this would happen.
But the bottom line is the responsibility for enforcing the EIR and the Tree Ordinance
falls squarely with our city staff and up to this point they haven't done a good job.
(The city got a lot of bad publicity when it made significant modifications to another
project that had an EIR and was PD. I'm referring of course to the driving range and
infamous lights at Eagle Creek Golf Course. That was a decision made between staff and
the developer.)

In February, Atascadero City Council informed the HHPMVP had spent $2,122 (of Paso Robles
• CDBG funds) for emergency motel shelter for people in Atascadero. The response from the City
Council was a suggestion to send the City of Paso Robles a thank you letter.
013
May 3, 2002, the Homeless Housing Project sent E.C.H.O. a letter requesting $3,562.78 of the
funds E.C.H.O. had allocated for the HHP MVP (from the 2001 Atascadero CDBG funds •
awarded E.C.H.O.). To date, the Homeless Housing Project has not received any funds from
E.C.H.O. for the HHP Motel Voucher Program expenditures in Atascadero.
May 3, 2002, the Homeless Housing Project submitted an application for $8,550.79 from the
Atascadero Human Services Fund.
Without these funds, the HHP MVP will close down operation.

From: Homeless Housing Project
Re: HHP Motel Voucher Program in Atascadero
From the beginning of E.C.H.O. Church Shelter Program (December 10, 2001), the
Homeless Housing Project (HHP) has provided support and cooperation to assist in the success
of the your efforts. The HHP has asked all the helping agencies to first refer clients to your
Program so you could have the best opportunity to operate at full capacity(20 cots).
From December 10, 2001 to April 30, 2002, the HHP has provided emergency motel shelter
( 35 adults, 17 children for 78 nights) for those clients who were not compatible with your
Program criteria. These clients included people with illnesses or needing medical attention, having
handicaps or disabilities, people from other agencies (who didn't meet your Program criteria) and
the overflow(when you opdrated at capacity). In doing so, the HHP Motel Voucher Program has
incurred a cost of$3,562.79.
In your applications for Atascadero CDBG funds, you have allocated funds for the Homeless
• Housing Project Motel Voucher Program. We respectfully request $3,562.78. Enclosed is a
description of the HHP Motel Voucher Program use in Atascadero. The description was written
from the MVP Monthly Reports, The MVP Intake Forms and Motel Receipts, and the American
Express Corporate Account records to insure accuracy.
If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the HHP at 805-459-4951.
Thank you for all your efforts in helping people by providing emergency church shelter in the
Atascadero area. We look forward to continuing working with you. Together we can make a
difference.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Johnson, Treasurer

Atascadero City Council Report
Council Member ember Jerry Clay
Junk Vehicle Tow Day
The idea of a program to remove junk vehicles similar to the annual refuse clean up day
was discussed at the last City Council meeting. Council Member Clay was asked to follow
up on the issue and provide the Council with additional information. The City Manager
was aware that the City of Paso Robles recently conducted a similar program and staff
developed the following information.
Chief Hegwood investigated the feasibility of providing a free Junk Vehicle Tow Day for
our citizens. It will require a significant commitment in personnel time to coordinate the
project however it can be accomplished. He has taken the initial planning steps in
anticipation of Council direction to pursue the project.
The project would be a joint Atascadero Police Department/California Highway Patrol
activity scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 12, 2002 at the City Yard. APD
officers and volunteers will coordinate the field operation and CHP personnel will
coordinate temporary field office to process the necessary Department of Motor Vehicles •
paperwork.
The Chief has made contact with the A-1 Metal Company and determined that the current
cost to dispose of salvage metal would be $20 per vehicle. However, the price of metal is
going up and perhaps by October, they may be able to accept the vehicles at no cost to
the City. The City would have to pay $200 for the cost of transporting the portable crusher
and a large forklift to the City Yard.
The Chief has obtained the support and cooperation of the local tow companies. Action
Towing, Alliance Towing and Rainbow towing have agreed to each donate a tow truck and
driver to the project.
Resources required for the project would be staff time to attend meetings and coordinate
the project with other agencies, city departments and local tow companies. Based on
projecting the removal of 50 junk vehicles, the cost would be $1,000 (50 x $20 = $1,000)
plus $200 for the portable crusher. Upon Council direction, staff will formalize the project
and establish a calendar of meeting dates to coordinate the event.

City Treasurers Agenda Report
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council approve the City Treasurers reports for the following periods:
March 2002
DISCUSSION:
• The March 2-year Treasury rate jumped to 3.56% only to fall back to 3.42 in April. The LAIF
yield for March was 2.86% and fell in April to 2.85%. With 72% of the City funds invested in
this "liquidity portfolio", the precipitous decline in the LAIF yield is having a negative impact on
overall City yields. The overall City portfolio investment yield in March was 3.45% or 11 basis
points below the 2-year Treasury yield for that month. The City investment policy goal is the 2-
year treasury rate plus or minus 50 basis points. We remain within our investment policy goals.
Market conditions:
In February or March the economy officially broke out of last years mild recession. Sluggish
auto and housing demand and higher oil prices have muted inflationary concerns. The pace of
corporate layoffs continues to shows signs of abating. There is concern that the recovery will not
be sustainable without higher investment from firms in real property and industrial technology.
Economists are beginning to express inflationary concerns due to the current pace of Federal
deficit spending. A quarter point tightening by the FOMC in the third or forth quarter is now a
distinct possibility.
Investment Strategy:
LAIF yields appear to be bottoming out and should begin a steady rise within the next 3-4
months. LAIF's guarantee of liquidity and mix of long and short-term maturities make it the
preferred investment for short and medium term funds. Agencies and fully FDIC insured
negotiable CDs offer safety, optimum yields and flexible liquidity for uncertain economic times.
• Corporate yields can be expected to lead the market when a sustainable economic turn around
does occur. With major corporate restructuring mostly completed, corporate profits should begin
to rise in the 3`d and 4th quarters. Select, top quality corporate notes can begin to be considered at
that time.

Staff Report- Administrative Services Department
Deferred Compensation Plans
Authorization to Amend
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council authorize the City Manager to amend plan documents with deferred compensation
providers The Hartford, National Deferred Compensation, and ICMA Retirement Corporation in
order to comply with recent legislation.
DISCUSSION:
•
Recent legislation requires us to amend our deferred compensation benefit plans in order to bring
them into compliance with current IRS and Franchise Tax Board rules.
The Hartford, National Deferred Compensation, and ICMA Retirement Corporation have
provided deferred compensation options for the City of Atascadero employees for many years.
Deferred compensation legislation has recently been reformed by the Economic Growth and Tax
Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA) and by State Bills SB 657, AB 1122, and AB 131.
These reforms allow for additional contributions to retirement accounts, allow for "special"
contributions for those aged 50 and over, and liberalize tax rules associated with portability of
such accounts. The City's Deferred Compensation Plan Documents must therefore be updated in
order to conform with the new legislation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct cost to the City, as the benefit is funded by voluntary employee contributions.

Staff Report - City Manager's Office
Parking& Business Improvement Area Assessment
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council adopt the draft Resolution of Intention, declaring intent to levy annual Downtown
Parking & Business Improvement Area assessment and set a public hearing for June 11, 2002.
DISCUSSION:
Background: The City of Atascadero established a Downtown Parking and Business
• Improvement Area in 1986 (Chapter 11 of the Atascadero Municipal Code) for the purpose of
acquisition, construction or maintenance of parking facilities, decoration of public places,
promotion of public events, and general promotion of business activities in the downtown area.
The formation and operation of a Business Improvement Area is governed by the California
Streets & Highways Code (Section 36500 et. Seq.) Historically, the budget for the Business
Improvement Area is submitted in conjunction with the City's annual budget. An annual
declaration of intent to levy annual Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area
assessment and holding a public hearing is required by the California Streets & Highways Code
for the City to continue to levy and collect the assessment.
Anal The Streets & Highways Code requires that the "advisory board" provide a report to
the City Council annually for the expenditure of funds derived from the assessment paid by
businesses in the downtown area. The Business Improvement Association Board of Directors
was dissolved in 2001 and Main Street's Board of Directors has taken its place. The report
identifies the proposed improvements and activities for the area, based upon the National Main
Street Program's four-point approach. The report does not propose any changes to the area or of
the assessment.
•
07
ITEM NUMBER: B-2
DATE: 05/28/2002
The Atascadero Main Street Board of Directors are proposing the following expenditures for
2002-03 with the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area funds: •
Carry-Over from 2001-2002 $4,000
Streetscape Improvements $3,500
Winter Street Fair 7,500
Window Decorating Contest 500
Hot El Camino Nights 1,000
Clean-Up Days (Spring and Fall) 1,000
Easter Egg Hunt 1,000
Total $14,500
Consistent with State law, the City Council is required to adopt a Resolution of Intention and set
a public hearing to receive public comment prior to the assessment being collected. Staff is
proposing that the hearing be conducted at the next regular meeting scheduled for June 11, 2002.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City receives approximately $10,500 annually from the Downtown.Parking and Business
Improvement Area assessments.
•
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council may set an alternative date for the public hearing.
2. The City Council may choose to not adopt the Resolution of Intention to levy assessment
thereby discontinuing the collection of Downtown Parking and Business Improvement
Area assessments.
Alternative is 2 not recommended because the Downtown Parking and Business Improvement
Area assessment revenue provides funding to support Atascadero Main Street for Downtown
revitalization activities and programs.

Atascadero City Council
City Attorney Report
Zone Change 2002-0022
City Text Changes to Sign Code
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends the Council introduce for first reading by title only, the
draft Ordinance adopting the proposed amendments to the sign code for the City of Atascadero.
DISCUSSION:
• Background: The City Attorney has decided to address the formatting issue by preparing a
Powerpoint presentation for the City Council hearing. The purpose of the Powerpoint
presentation is to make it clearer what items remain the same, and what items are proposed for
change. These changes are not intended to substitute or preempt the ongoing work of the
Chamber of Commerce. It is staff's understanding that the Chamber is working on a
comprehensive proposal for revamping the sign code. The City Attorney felt that several issues
could not wait for that process to be complete before they were addressed and Community
Development Staff felt that the freeway sign issue needed to be addressed now rather than later.
Issues: Accompanying this report is a copy of the staff report that was submitted to the Planning
Commission. Other than addressing the specific points brought up by the Planning Commission
there is no new information to be included in this report. Copies of the proposed ordinance have
been sent to the Chamber of Commerce. Staff feels that the use of the term freeway sign as
suggested has enough accepted and clear meaning to be useful in the Municipal Code. The 10
day requirement that political signs be removed within 10 days after an election already exists in
the Municipal Code. The City Attorney did feel that this item needed to be addressed at this point
so it was continued into the proposed complete restatement of the sign code. The 10 day limit
would not be new law. One drafting error was made. The old code contained a rule that political
signs not be placed sooner than 45 days prior to an election. The Council is free to direct that that
rule be retained, and the necessary changes to the ordinance being reviewed can be made at the
City Council meeting.
• The Planning Commission also asked: (1) for clarification of the definition of non commercial
speech; (2) Clarification of the definition of temporary signs; (3) Clarification of the reason for
082
ITEM NUMBER: B-3
DATE: 05/28/2002
political signs having a different time period than commercial signs; and (4) That the time period •
for subdivision signs be three years.
There is not easy and clear clarification for the definition of non commercial speech. The best
available is that commercial speech in some manner proposes or seeks to help a commercial
transaction. Non-commercial speech does not. In past years the Supreme Court differentiated
between Commercial Speech, and what they used to refer to as "pure" speech. The latest
Supreme Court decisions have discarded that distinction and instead set forth the types of speech
as commercial and non commercial. It is a bit like obscenity, the Court hasn't been able to tell us
exactly what speech fits into what category, but instead relies upon individual fact situations and
hopes that we can all recognized each type of speech when we see it. It is difficult instead of
easy, and it reminds staff of the statement by special counsel in the Adult World litigation. The
U. S. Supreme Court recently sent a case back to the district court for trial. Four Justices voted
one way. Four Justices voted the other way, and the fifth Justice needed to see more information
before he could decide. Special Counsel asked why if the Supreme Court couldn't tell us what
the constitution meant, everybody expected us to have an easy answer. There is none.
The definition of Tempor4y sign is somewhat more clear. All signs are illegal unless they are
permitted or exempted. Certain signs area allowed if they meet certain restrictions and are left up
for only specified period of times. We have chosen to define those as "temporary" signs in the
past, and we are continuing that portion of the code without substantial change. This is the way
the code read in the past and staff is not recommending any changes along those lines..
Staff may only guess at the reason for a different time period forpp
as olitical signs opposed to •
p g
commercial signs (which, except for "temporary" signs have no set time period. Staff suspects
that this is an aesthetic consideration. Perhaps the City looks neater and better when there is not a
proliferation of political signs posted throughout the City. This is a policy issue that the City
Council can address if it chooses. but it is not an issue that Staff felt the need to address in the
absence of direction from the City, Council to do so.
The City Attorney office has no position on the proposed time limit for subdivision signs.
The proposed Negative Declaration will come before this Council if and when the matter comes
back for second reading.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff has not identified a fiscal impact for these suggested changes.
•
083
ITEM NUMBER: B-3
DATE: 05/28/2002
. ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may act or not as described above. There is no requirement that changes be
adopted. Staff does feel that certain issues need to be addressed in order to conform to case law,
and that is the reason staff does recommend that the changes be adopted.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF
SIGN ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends:
The Planning Commission adopt Resolution 2002-0024, recommending that the City Council of
the City of Atascadero adopt the proposed amendments to the sign code for the City.
DISCUSSION:
Background: Staff and the City Attorney have reviewed the sign code to address only a few
issues. This is not intended to substitute for or prevent any future proposals for changes such as
those that have been mentioned by the Chamber of Commerce. This code was last revised in
1992. There have been many appellate cases since that time dealing with commercial versus non-
commercial speech, the location of political signs, and other issues. Staff is attempting to address
those issues necessary to bring the code into conformance with those changes.
Issues: Staff is proposing changes in six main areas. In restated section 9-15.001 a section g is
proposed for addition. This section makes our code conform to recent case law that requires
municipal codes to allow non commercial speech anywhere commercial speech is allowed. This
is not an additional sign, but rather allows a property owner to choose to substitute non-
commercial speech where they would otherwise be allowed commercial signage. The same rules
as to size and shape would apply. This is consistent with case law ruling that since sign codes are
based upon safety and aesthetic concerns, but can't regulate the content of noncommercial
speech, such a provision must be included in a municipal code to withstand challenge. This

change conforms to existing City interpretation of the Atascadero Municipal Code, but adds the
actual language to the code instead of leaving it to interpretation by staff.
Many definitions are added to section 9-15.002.
Section 9-15.003(c) is proposed for one change. This section defines those signs that are exempt
from the code. One addition is suggested, namely, that a project or program of the Atascadero
Community Redevelopment Agency is exempt from the sign code. This is true only where the
program or project is also consistent with the general plan. The issue of what the current code
refers to as "political signs"is proposed to be removed from this section and instead dealt with in
proposed new section 9-15,012.
Staff has proposed minor changes to 9-15.003(d). Proposed for removal is the prohibition against
changeable copy signs. Proposed for rewrite to conform to recent case law nomenclature are the
prohibitions against car mounted signs.
Staff, as mentioned, has proposed a new subpart referred to as section 9-15.012 et seq. This new
• part is intended to address what we used to call political signs. The more accurate description
from the most recent cases on this issue is temporary non-commercial signs. The city is entitled
to address safety and other issues, as long as the regulations are content neutral. The suggested
changes do not alter the current rule that such signs be removed within 10 days of any election to
which they relate.
Staff is also proposing changing the restriction for wall mounted signs along US 101. Currently
on uses over 10,000 square feet are allowed to have wall signs facing US 101. The result of this
restriction has been a proliferation of illegal banner signs along US 101. This has created an on
going Code Enforcement issue between the City and freeway businesses. It is staffs opinion that
allowing reasonable sized wall signs would provide business with their needed identification and
eliminate the need for illegal banner signs. Staff is proposing that wall signs of no more than 40
square feet be allowed for businesses of less than 10,000 square feet with walls fronting US 101.
Staff would recommend that the signs be required to be constructed of individual letters or
articulated logos (rather than box cabinets) and indirectly illuminated. The standards would
require the signs to be constructed in a manner similar to those found on the freeway elevation of
Central Coast Auto.
Lastly, staff has suggested that we add 9-15.013 codifying current City policy that allows the
City to remove any signs placed on city property without City permission. This would apply to
property actually owned by the City, and not to public rights of way which are commonly owned
by the adjoining property owners to the centerline of the roadway.

Downtown E1 Camino Real Improvements
i
RECOMMENDATION:
Council receive a report on alternatives for Downtown El Camino Real Improvements and select
alternative #3 as the preferred alternative.
DISCUSSION:
•
Background: The Downtown Revitalization Plan was approved by the City Council in July
2000. The purpose of the Downtown Revitalization Plan is to:
❑ Implement the City's General Plan and Redevelopment Plan with a detailed focus on the
Downtown Area.
❑ Develop a community consensus on an overall vision for the Downtown Area.
❑ Coordinate.public and private investments in the area to realize the vision.
❑ Enhance the Downtown's character with public improvements and architectural standards to
guide new development.
The first implementation project listed in the Downtown Revitalization Plan is Downtown El
Camino Real Improvements. The recommended project includes the installation of landscaped
median on El Camino Real from Traffic Way to West Mall and the installation of bulb-outs and
crosswalk enhancements at the intersections of El Camino Real/Traffic Way and El Camino
Real/Entrada Ave (see Attachment A).
In 2000 staff began applying for funding for the Downtown El Camino Real Improvements. Staff
has been successful in obtaining funds from the State Transportation Improvement Program,
Redevelopment Agency and the Partnership for Public Health Endowment for the Downtown El
Camino Real Improvements. Staff has also obtained funds for sidewalk replacement on Traffic
Way and El Camino Real. Listed below are details of the revenue that has been appropriated:

. Below is a brief summery of two design issues on the project:
Jack in the Box and Obispo Pacific driveways:
There are two existing driveways on the west side of El Camino Real across from Entrada Ave.
One each for Jack in the Box and Obispo Pacific. The Jack in the Box driveway is in a poor
location due to the parking stalls located directly in front of the driveway approach. The Obispo
Pacific driveway is in a poor location for access from north bound El Camino Real. A vehicle has
to cross the entire intersection at an awkward angle and conflict with the left turn pocket for
Entrada Ave. It is proposed to incorporate both driveways into one and move the Jack in the Box
sign. This will provide good access to both properties and improve the existing conflict on El
Camino Real. This will require a shared driveway access agreement between both property
owners. Staff has contacted the owners to discuss the driveway issue and will have a full report at
the Council meeting.
Raised intersection at El Camino Real and Entrada Ave:
The Main Street Design Committee is recommending a raised intersection at El Camino Real and
Entrada Ave. The concept is to raise the entire intersection 6 inches above the existing roadway
surface, to an elevation level with the sidewalks. Ramps on all sides of the raised intersection
would connect it with the existing road surface. The raised intersection would have two major
• safety benefits for pedestrians:
(1) It would slow traffic. Vehicles would be required to reduce their speed to comfortably
mount the raised area, thus increasing pedestrian safety.
(2) It would visually enhance the pedestrian area. Pedestrians crossing at this intersection
would be 6 inches higher than at a normal intersection, making them more visible to
vehicular traffic. The raised intersection would also be at the same elevation as the
sidewalks, removing the need for handicap ramps at the corners.
It is recommended that the raising of the entire intersection does not occur until a future phase of
the project. An interim crosswalk raising is recommended for the crosswalk on the southside of
the intersection. This would achieve the same traffic calming effects and keep the project on
budget. The two reasons it is not recommended to raise the entire intersection now are cost and
driveways conflicts on the eastside of the intersection requires the most northern crosswalk to be
skewed at the intersection.
Listed below is a brief description of each alternative:
Alternative 91: Full landscape median and no U-turns (See attachment C)
This alternative would not allow southbound access to Entrada Ave or driveways, and would not
allow U-turns at Traffic Way or West Mall. The median would eliminate cross traffic conflicts
and provide landscaping in the roadway. This alternative is not recommended since access is
limited and no U-turns are allowed.
�.3 0
ITEM NUMBER: C- 1
DATE: 05/28/2002
Alternative #2: Strip median or striping and no U-turns (See attachment D)
The strip median would not allow access across El Camino Real to driveways and would not
allow U-turns at Traffic Way or West Mall. No Landscaping would be provided in the median.
This alternative is not recommended since very little landscaping is included and no U-turns are
allowed.
Alternative #3: Landscape median and U-turns allowed (See attachment E)
This alternative would not allow access across El Camino Real driveways and would allow U-
turns at Traffic Way. This alternative is recommended since there is landscaping in the roadway
and U-turns are allowed. Due to budget constraints it is recommended that this project be built in
phases (See attachment F).

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report - City Manager's Office
Plan Check Services
RECOMMENDATION:
Council waive the $25,000 maximum expense for informal bidding for California Code Check
for building plan check services, pursuant to Section 1.7 of the City's purchasing rules
DISCUSSION:
The City's building department contracts for plan check services to augment staff. This year the
• City has experienced high volumes of building permit applications. Current staff have been
unable to keep up with the work load. The City purchasing regulations require formal bidding
for contracts over $25,000. Staff had not expected this contract to exceed that amount. Staff are
preparing an RFP consistent with the purchasing rules and will develop a formal bid contract for
next fiscal year. However at this time there is an urgency to continue the contract plan checking
services.
California Code Check provides plan checking services for Atascadero, Paso Robles and San
Luis Obispo. They have been reliable, producing quality plan checks within the City's time
constraints. The applicant pays the plan check fee which is then used to pay for the contracted
service.
FISCAL IMPACT: None
ALTERNATIVES:
Deny the request. This is not recommended because it means plan checks would need to be
completed in house making time frames longer. This negatively impacts the community waiting
on the permit process.
