ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL
MINUTES
Tuesday, February 14, 1989
The regular meeting of the Atascadero City Council was called to
order by Mayor Borgeson at ?SOO p.m. followed by the Pledge of
Allegiance.
ROLL CALLe
Presents Councilmembers Mackey, Shiers, Dexter, Mackey and Mayor
Borgeson
Staff Presents Henry Engen, Community Development Director; Paul
Sensibaugh, Public Works Director; Mark Joseph,
Administrative Services Director; Jeff Jorgensen,
City Attorney; Andy Takata, Parks and Recreation
Director; Boyd Sharitz, City Clerk; Bud McHale,
Police Chief and Mike Hicks, Fire Chief.
• Mayor Borgeson presented Mike Lara with a plaque for his past
service as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner.
Mayor Borgeson introduced Andy Takata the new Parks and
Recreation Director.
COMMITTEE REPORTSs
CITY/SCHOOL COMMITTEE:
Councilman Lilley said that minutes have been provided to the
Council regarding a meeting that had been held. He reported that
discussion had been undertaken as far as Joint cooperation for
additional recreational facilities that he felt were productive
and holds potential for the City as well as the school district.
NORTH COAST TRANSITS
Councilman Dexter said that no meeting of North Coast has been
held but he was involved in the Central Coast Rapid Transit
dealing with the problem of transportation for students at
Cuesta. Earlier service for students is needed. Also positive
and negative incentives were discussed to get more ridership. A
meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 15 in San Luis
Obispo and will be working on additional areas of transportation.
SAN LMS OBISPO AREA COORDINATING COUNCIL:
Mayor Borgeson reported that reports are now given to the
Councilmembers. She attended the February meeting and they
adopted the 1988 update of the regional transportation plan that
had been discussed at council 's last meeting. Specifically
1
discussed was the route 101 corridor study identifying
deficiencies on Highway 101 and many of the interchanges. It
also identified significant funding shortfalls in implementing
our plan and also a performance audit contract was awarded. She
believes the notice that is sent out regarding the meetings is
very important.
TRAFFIC COMMITTEE:
Councilwoman Mackey reported that there are a couple of items on
the agenda tonight. One of them is the four way stop at
Atascadero Avenue and Santa Ynez. The other one is no parking
beyond the High School on San Marcos.
SOLID/HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES
Councilwoman Mackey stated there are two separate commissions
now. There are two meetings the first Thursday of the month.
One at 9 a.m. and the other one at 1:30 p.m. In the hazardous
household waste proposal it is hoped that four times a year a
special collection can be conducted for household hazardous
waste. To do this it is going to take a lot of publicity and
money. The collection will have to be hauled to Kettleman and it
will cost about $260,000 to do the whole job for a year. The
question on how to fund it is going to have to be decided by this
committee. They met with the garbage company last week and they
will be coming back with some ideas and proposals. The Waste
Management Commission met and it was brought out that Atascadero
seems to be the only city that does not have mandatory
collection. The County is getting into forcing mandatory
collection on the urbanized and unincorporated areas. They hope
to start with the Los Osos area making it mandatory. The Waste
Commission hopes to increase the participation in recycling to
25% of the waste stream within two years. It is now
approximately 6%.
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY COMMISSIONS
Councilman Dexter stated that he had attended a three hour
orientation session. There will be a meeting on Thursday evening
and he will report more at the next council meeting.
FINANCE COMMITTEE:
Councilman Shiers stated the meeting that was held was covered at
the mid-year budget meeting.
DOWNTOWN STEERING COMMITTEES
Councilwoman Mackey said a meeting was held last week. Everybody
who is on the Downtown Steering Committee attended along with
several staff people. She believes it is going to be a very good
committee and they will meet again on the 21st.
COMMUNITY FORUM:
John McNeil , 8765 Sierra Vista, stated that we have had many
2
grading violations in the City of Atascadero over the past
several years. He said he had listened to the Hoard of
Supervisors of the County and they have had the same experience.
One of the items on the consent agenda was taken off by
Supervisor Blakely that pertained to grading violation. They
discussed the problem and their recommendation was to their staff
was their ordinance which apparently had not been enforceable
should be looked at and revised and brought back to the Board of
Supervisors for adoption, an ordinance that would make grading
violations subject to be enforced and that the parties would
correct their violations. He believes that we have had the same
experience here and that council should direct staff to follow
this. We could benefit by the County's experience. Mayor
Borgeson asked Henry Engen to keep up with what the County Board
of Supervisors is doing regarding this matter and give the
council an update.
Terril Graham, 6205 Conejo Rd. , spoke regarding the police
facility and other financing that the city is about to undertake.
He read a letter to the editor from the Atascadero News published
in 1985. Everything in this letter has either come true or are
going to come true in the immediate future. He encourages
Council to not take any actions in financing the police facility
which will further indebt every citizen of the community.

B. HEARINSS/APPEARANCESs
1. Atascadero Roads - Presentation by Michael Petersen, Counsel
for Wells Fargo
Jeff Jorgensen, City Attorney, introduced Michael Petersen,
Counsel for Wells Fargo Bank. Mr. Petersen discussed the
material that was included in the agenda packet.
Council discussion followed.
Bob Nimmo, 7378 Bella Vista Rd. , stated that any legislation
introduced that would absolve the city of liability, but not
absolve adjacent property owners would probably never make
it through the legislative process.
Buz Hinkley, 8400 San Gregorio, asked Council if Wells Fargo
Bank does not own the roads, but is only the trustee, then
who owns the roads.
City Attorney Jorgensen said this is a very complex problem.
Wells Fargo has technical legal title to the roadways.
Wells Fargo has no interest in asserting any ownership
interest in them.
Mr. Hinkley added that if there is going to be legislation
that would reflect some minimizing or taking away the
liability to the City or if a few roads are being
considered, he thinks that the considerations should be
taken into all of the roads in the City of Atascadero that
are not now under City jurisdiction as well as all the
liability of all the adjoining property owners.
Jeff Jorgensen said he thinks it is going to take a
Eonsiderable amount of time and study to resolve. There is
a great deal of information that the City needs in order to
make an informed decision on this matter. The affect which
a transfer might have on the City's insurance, we need a
good understanding of what the road conditions are on these
4
roads, some approximation of what Wells Fargo intends to
transfer to us. These are things we need to explore if the
Council authorizes us to begin preliminary discussions.
With respect to legislation he thinks it would be helpful to
approach the state legislature if for no other reason they
may coae up with reasons why special legislation won't work
or they may have other approaches to the problem that may be
helpful. He encourages Council to at least begin
discussions with our representatives. With that in mind, he
recommends that the Council authorizes the staff and the
Council road sub-committee to begin preliminary discussions
with Wells Fargo.
Mayor Borgeson said that will be the direction of the
Council . The sub-committee will be Councilman Lilley and
herself.
2. APPEAL BY DON MESSER OF DENIAL OF GRADING PERMIT (8805
CAPISTRANO - HOTEL PARK)
Mayor Borgeson stated that she had just received a letter
from Glen Lewis stating "please be advised that Hotel Park
does hereby with draw the appeal scheduled for February 14,
1989."
MOTIONS By Councilman Lilley, seconded by Councilman
Dexter to accept Hotel Parks withdrawal of their
appeal. Passed unanimously.
Henry Engen, Community Development Director, stated that
Council has a copy of the letter that had been submitted to
Mr. Steven Sylvester following several meetings held with
the appellant, his attorney and engineer this afternoon.
What has occurred is that there was an error on the City's
arborist's estimation on the value of the trees which
received a lot of publicity. He has since indicated that it
should have been *139,000. Subsequently the appellant had
a tree consultant come up with a figure of *32,486 as his
estimate of the value. The 8 trees which staff felt would
be taken as part the grading permit. Based on that change
in evaluation and consultation with their arborist as to
whether or not they could protect those trees if they went
back to the original conditions of the precise plan, the
applicant has withdrawn their appeal and proposed to proceed
under the original conditions with measures to be taken to
protect those 8 trees. Included in the appeal process
questioned was condition number 17 of the original precise
plan which has been identified in the staff report to
council is a "catch 22"condition. It indicates that " the
road abandonment (portion of Capistrano remaining after
realignment) shall be recorded prior to issuance of permits
for phase I. However, they need to get an encroachment
5
permit and grading permits to transfer fill from the site
to rebuild the road and move it toward Atascadero Creek in
order to most the conditions of precise plan. In the letter
to them this afternoon we indicated that the affect of a
withdrawal of an appeal would be to put them back to the
point they were last December when Mr. Engen denied the
grading permit. Regarding the question of condition No. 17
we felt that it was a reasonable approach to initially just
offer to dedicate which would be recorded and then go
through the processes and then abandon the street relocated
on the new alignment. We also note that given the language
that is in the condition - in error or not - that we think
that should take approval by council that this is a
reasonable interpretation of that condition or referral to
the Plan Commission to revise it.
Council discussion followed.
Mr. Steve Sylvester, North Coast Engineering, spoke on
behalf of Hotel Park Assoc. The basis of the appeal was the
information contained in the Jack Hrazeal report regarding
evaluation of the trees which put the project in the
position where it was not feasible to even consider bonding
for $1.3 million dollars worth of trees. The only option
they saw at that point in time was to request additional
tree removals because of the economics that were involved.
Now that they are aware that there was a 1,000% error in the
evaluation of the trees, that changes the whole attitude
that they have toward the treatment of the trees at the
site. They have worked to be reasonable with staff
throughout the entire process of the approval of the precise
plan for this project. In doing so they have had their
arborist working with the City's arborist trying to come to
some conclusions about modifications to the tree protection
plan accompanied by the appropriate security to maintain
those trees. They are no longer asking for removals of any
additional trees. They feel they have a reasonable solution
for the benefit of the property owner as well as the city
and the concerns that staff has raised. They will continue
to work with them on that basis. Condition 17 was included
in the appeal by convenience so that it could be worked out
at the same time that you discuss the situation with the
grading plan. The resolution of condition 17 is very
straight forward, in fact they have already come to an
agreement as to what the intent of that condition was and
they are in a position that they have a condition that they
cannot comply with. They must reconstruct the road, they
must move the road over before you can abandon it, and in
order to do that they have to have permits to do so. The
plans for those improvements have all been prepared and
submitted through several plan checks. They are awaiting
ground breaking as soon as resolution of the tree protection
6
issue is resolved. Regarding treatment of the site grading,
they have had lengthy discussions with staff regarding how
they treat the site, as far as doing complete site grading,
based on their discussions with staff they have submitted
complete interim grading plans, temporary sedimentation and
erosion control plans and a grading treatment on the areas
outside of phase I construction would be compatible should
anything happen to this project, should phases II through IV
not be completed. They have been through a 2 1/2 month
delay, a very costly delay of this project based on the
information that was contained in the Brazeal report. They
feel that it is the City's obligation to correct the
problems with condition 17. It was a staff condition and
they have an agreement with staff as to the resolution of
that condition. They can hardly tolerate another cycle of
planning commission review back to city council review for a
condition that was written incorrectly in the first place
and one of which we can all understand what the intention
is. The project is going to pay for the relocation and
reconstruction of Capistrano. The project is going to build
the approach to Lewis Avenue Bridge and rebuild several
portions of South Mall extension. They are trying to move
ahead with the project and can not do that without the
appropriate permits and the resolution of that condition.
Council discussion followed.
Joseph Grisanti, said he felt it was unconstitutional to put
these values on the trees. This is throwing our money away
and he feels that issues coming before Council should be
looked at. The bonding of oak trees is ridiculous.
Consensus of the Council was to have staff bring back a
report on Condition e17 at the next council meeting.
MAYOR BORGESON ASKED FOR A 10 MINUTE RECESS AT 8:35. MEETING
RECONVENED AT 8x45 P.M.
C. UNFINISHED BUSINESSo
1 . ANTI-LOITERING ORDINANCE - PROPOSAL
A. Ordinance No. 189 - Adding Chapter 6 to Title 5 of the
Atascadero Municipal Code relating to loitering by
minors during certain hours
Council comments followed.
Doug Lewis spoke at the last meeting in opposition to
the ordinance regretting that this type of measure was
the first effort made to solve the problems. He had
hoped to make a recommendation to the council regarding
7
a state-wide program that is being put into place. It
is under the task force to establish self esteem and
personal responsibility and social responsibility. He
had made a number of calls since the last hearing but
was unable to get enough of the local task force to
function at this level because they are only making
their first meeting tomorrow morning, which is
regrettable and the state level people are trying to
let the county task forces function first so his
efforts to have a recommendation for council as to an
alternative cannot be done at this time. He regrets
that Council is making this ordinance a law.
Betsy Outland spoke in favor of this anti-loitering law
if the Police Department will enforce it as they are
supposed to.
Larry Walsh stated he believed 11 is a reasonable hour
on a week day, but 11 on the weekend may not be
reasonable. He still thinks more money should be put
into recreation as far as these young people are
concerned.
Jerry Clay said he is concerned about the weekend hour
of 11 being too early. He _asked Chief McHale if a
teenager was going from one place to another would he
be stopped.
Chief McHale responded that police officers are not
mind readers, they are first going to have to inquire
of the young person as to what that person is doing.
If it appears that it is a legitimate activity, then
the person will be allowed to go on his/her way. If a
young person is waiting for a ride from parents in
front of the theatre there is nothing wrong with that.
Discretion must be exercised by our police officers
just as it is in all criminal investigations or field
interviews.
Mr. Clay asked in regard to a moving vehicle are the
police just going to pull over a vehicle? How are you
going to handle that? Chief McHale answered that would
depend on the number of times the young person was seen
circulating. If an officer was in a particular
location and observed the same driver make a few passes
then there is a good opportunity depending upon
priorities during the shift, that the person might be
stopped and at least questioned. They might be asked
"where are you going, where have you been, and how soon
do you think you are going to get home"?
MOTIONS Made by Councilman Lilley, seconded by Councilwoman
Mackey to adopt Ordinance No. 189 and review this
ordinance in b months. Passed unanimously by roll call

program is to assist an employee during an extended illness or
injury that could not otherwise be reasonably provided for by
that employee ' s total leave balance.
ELIGIBILITY
All regular City employees who have accrued forty (40) or more
hours of sick leave at the time of the request for extended sick
leave compensation, or employees who are recommended by their
Department Head, shall be eligible.
CRITERIA

for leave necessitated by a major illness, surgery, or other
catastrophic event deemed appropriate by the Committee.
Routine maternity/paternity leaves are not considered
catastrophic in and of themselves.
3. All requests for use of "extended sick leave compensation"
must be submitted on an appropriate form as approved by the
Committee, through the employee ' s Department Head .
'
4^ Each request for use of "extended sick leave compensation"
will be considered independently based upon the merits of
each situation. Decisions will be made by simple majority
of the Committee. At least four (4) members must be present
� to conduct business.

DATE: February 22, 1989
TO: Ray Windsor , City Manager
FROM: Andy Takata, Parks and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: H9MME RUN FENC€PROPOSAL N PALOMA CREEK PARK
YOUTH FIELD _#3
BACKGROUND:
The Atascadero Little League is requesting that they be allowed
to purchase and install a home run fence on Youth Field 3 at
Paloma Creek Park
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION:
The Little League Advisory Group believes that installing a home
run fence at Paloma Field 3 would allow the organization to
compete for a variety of Little League Tournaments and special
regional play activities. A home run fence would also give
children involved in the program a goal of hitting the ball over
the fence. In addition, the permanent fence could provide a fund
raising mechanism for the League League by soliciting fence
advertisement from local businesses. These funds, divided
between the organization and the City, would help with further
improvements at Paloma Creek Park .
At the present time, the (Waster Plan for Paloma Creek Park , Phase
2, does not call for a fence to be installed on Field 3. The
irrigation system was designed and installed with the intent of
multi-use for that section of the park. Its pi.irpo=R was to
Create a large multi-use green belt that would allow open space
for the picnic area, tot lot , sand lot , volleyball pits , soccer
field , horseshoe arena, and basketball court .
OPTIONS:
OPTION 1 :
Adhere to the existing Master Plan and not install a home
run fence and maintain the multi-use nature of that portion of
the park .
Advantage: To maintain a green belt , open space effect
in that portion of the park . To maintain the multi-use concept,
connecting all resources of the park without fences or barriers.
Current grounds maintenance and field preparation schedules would
not be effected by the installation of a fence.
Disadvantage: Without a fence, it would be difficult to
attract District and Regional Tournaments. It would also prevent
a fund raising mechanism for the little League.
OPTION 2•
Redesign the Master Plan of Paloma Creek Park to shotm a
youth field complex including a fence and the redesign and
installation of the irrigation system.
Advantage: A fence would allow Little League a higher
quality field. There is a greater possibility of hosting a
tournament with a fence. This could provide additional revenues
for the League.
Disadvantage: Eliminates the multi-use concept . Creates a
one dimension field.
OPT IDN 3•
Install portable fencing that would meet the requirements of
National Little League, which would allow local organizations to
conduct the types of activities that promote their program. The
fencing would only be in place during the month=_ of their
activity and would not effect the multi-use concept of the park .
No design changes would be required in the Master Pian or the
irrigation system.
Ad_vantaoe: No design changes required in the blaster Plan
and irrigation system. Little League would be able to host
District and Regional Tournaments. Maintains the mtalti-LJse
concept .
-r
Disadvantage: The cost of portable fencing is much higher .
It does not provide a higher quality of ball field that is needed
for tournament play. It would prevent additional funding_
mechanism.
FISCAL:
The fencing costs and installation would be incurred by the
Little League Organization.
Staff does not have estimates as to costs for temporary or
permanent fencing .
Option 1 :
Without the fence, the Atascadero Little League cannot raise
funds which would help the oDeratioo of the Little League and
could provide improvements at Paloma Creek Park .
gption 2:
A permanent fence would include a concrete mow strip the
length of the fence line, a warning track on the field side of
the fence and a grounds maintenance area on the outside of the
fence. Fund raising mechanism for the Atascadero l itt]e league ,
which has indicated that they would help with improvements at
Paloma Creek Park.
Optionl3:
The cost of purchasing a portable fence and revenues lost
if the Atascadero Little League cannot solicit sign
advertisements to sponsors.
The Parks and Recreation Commission felt that it was important to
maintain a good quality Little League, and a permanent fence that
could provide advertising and allow tournament play .
LEGAL CONSIDERATION:
No apparent consideration necessary'
RECOMMENDATIONn
� Therefore, it is recommend that the City Council :
1 . permit the Atascadero Little League to conStruct a permanent
chain link fence on Field 3 of Paloma Creek Park and work
with staff regarding the restructure of the irrigation
system.
2. ` Direct staff to amend the Paloma Creek Park Master Flan to
indicate a chain link fence on Field 3.

MEMORANDUM
DATE : March 14, 1989
TO : City Council
VIA : Ray Windsor, City Manager
Henry Engen, Community Development Director
Paul Sensibaugh, Public Works Director
FROM : Joel Moses, Associate Planner
SUBJECT : REQUEST TO INITIATE FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION
ORDINANCE
BACKGROUND:
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) regulations have
changed. As a part of the change all Cities must update and
revise their Ordinances dealing with flood protection. The
regulations are tied to the Flood Rate and Flood Boundaries maps
published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) .
These maps set the areas and type of insurance requirements. The
corresponding required ordinance sets standards for the
development in those areas designated. FEMA has contracted with
the State Department of Water Resources to review proposed
ordinances for compliance to the Federal regulations.
As a part of the revision to the Federal regulations a model
ordnance was provided. Procedures require that the Ordinance
first be reviewed by the State and then forwarded to FEMA after
adoption by the City. The City has had a Flood Overlay Ordinance
since 1983 contained within the Zoning Ordinance. After
reviewing the existing ordinance with the State Department of
Water Resources it was determined due to future revisions of
Federal regulations that a separate ordinance should be adopted.
The existing Zoning Ordinance would not be revised at this time
due to the Amapoa-Tecorida Area not being covered by the FEMA
Maps and future ordinances revisions planned to the Zoning
Ordinance.
The adoption of the proposed Ordinance will continue to make
residents of the City eligible for the National Flood Insurance
program. If an ordinance is not adopted the City' s eligibility
Flood Insurance would be cancelled. This cancelation would make
some areas of the City ineligibly for Federally backed
residential and commercial loans.
r

RECOWUNDATION:
That the City Council initiate a proposed addition to the City' s
Municipal Code of a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. Staff
recommends that the proposed ordinance be treated like a zone
change. A Public Hearing would be held by the Planning
Commission prior to the City Council Hearing. Staff has attached
a draft copy of a proposed Ordinance that has been reviewed by
the City Staff and State of California and has been found to
comply with Federal regulations. Copies of the most current
Flood Boundaries and Flood Rate Maps are available in the
Community Development Department.

8 This Ordinance is enacted to protect the health, safety and
9 welfare of the citizens of Atascadero and their property and to
10 meet the requirements of state and federal legislation.
11
12 SEC. 7-2.101 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION.
13
14 The Legislature of the State of California has in Government Code
15 Sections 65302, 65560 and 65800 conferred upon local government
16 units authority to adopt regulations designed to promote the
17 public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry.
18 Therefore, the City Council of the City of Atascadero does ordain
19 as follows:
20
21 SEC. 7-2.102 - FINDING OF FACT
22
23 A. The flood hazard areas of the City of Atascadero are subject
24 to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and
25 property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce
26 and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures
27 for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax
28 base, all of which adversely affect the public health,
29 safety and general welfare.
30
31 B. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of
32 obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which -
33 increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately
34 anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are
35 inadequately flood-proofed, elevated or otherwise protected
36 from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss.
37
38 SEC. 7-2.103 - STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
39
40 It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health,
41 safety, and general welfare, and to minimize public and private
42 losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions
43 designed:
44
45 A. To protect human life and health;
46
47 B. To minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood
48 control projects;
49
50

5 D. To minimize prolonged business interruptions;
6
7 E. To minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such
8 as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines,
9 streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard
10
11 F. To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the
12 second use and development of areas of special flood hazard
13 so as to minimize future flood blight areas;
14
15 G. To insure that potential buyers are notified that property
16 is in an area of special flood hazard; and
17
18 H. To insure that those who occupy the areas of special flood
19 hazard assume responsibility for their actions.
20
21 SEC. 7-2.104 - METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSSES
22
23 In order to accomplish its purposes, this ordinance includes
24 methods and provisions for:
25
26 A. Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to
27 health, safety, and property due to water or erosion
28 hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or
29 flood heights or velocities;
30
31 B. Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including
32 facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood
33 damage at the time of initial construction;
34
35 C. Controlling the alterations of natural floodplains, stream
36 channels, and natural protective barriers, which help
37 accommodate or channel flood waters;
38
39 D. Controlling filling, grading, dredging, and other develop-
40 ment which may increase flood damage; and
41
42 E. Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers
43 which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may
44 increase flood hazards in other areas.

13 lands to the injury of others;
14
15 2. The danger of life and property due to flooding or
16 erosion damage;
17
18 3. The susceptibility of the proposed facility and
19 its contents to flood damage and the effect of
20 such damage on the individual owner;
21
22 4. The importance of the services provided by the
23 proposed facility to the community;
24
25 5. The availability of alternative locations for the
26 proposed use which are not subject to flooding or
27 erosion damage;
28
29 6. The compatibility of the proposed use with
30 existing and anticipated development;
31
32 7. The relationship of the proposed use to the

Mr. Ray Windsor, City Manager
City of Atascadero
6500 Palma Ave.
Atascadero, CA 93422 '
Dear Mr. Windsor:
We respectfully ask that the City grant a special contribution to AFAR to
cover, or partially cover, the unexpected costs resulting from our "free
spays for strays" offer during the month of January.
You will recall that we requested your permission to expand the spay/n6iitet
program to providd this add!Tlolal SP2CIA1 SETVIC2. And you may have read
our articles in the newspapers saying that it exceeded all expectations,
to the point that more money must be forthcoming to pay immediate bills!
During the one month of the offer, we approved 350 surgeries for stray cats
within Atascadero City limits, estimated total $7,700. (The total number
processed for Atascadero during all of last year was 605.) Vet bills which
are normally around $200 are this month more than $2,000! Paying these has
left us short to pay for other regular monthly bills.
The question has been asked, why did we continue to approve spays when no
money was available. When Animal Regulation runs out of money for the spay/
neuter program they do stop issuing more certificates, but we feel we would
be defeating the entire purpose of the program to do this, and that we must,
somehow, obtain more funds. If indeed, 350 stray cats were neutered during
January, Atascadero should (will!) see a stunning decrease in funds required
in the future.
With this in mind, we would be most grateful if you would bring our request
before the Council for their next meeting. If the City would grant an immediate
$5,000 at this time, we are sure you will not regret it!
Thank you. Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Date: February 22, 1989
Subject : FY87-88 Financial Audit and Related Findings
BACKGROUND
After seven years with the same CPA firm, Council decided in
April , 1988, to select a new CPA firm to conduct the annual
audit of both the City and the Sanitation District . it is often
a good practice to rotate firms periodically. In addition, this
decision appears to have been made with the intention of
identifying some possible areas for improvement .
This report discusses the results of both audits.
AUDIT FINDINGS
Overall , both the City and the Sanitation District are in very
good cash position. The General Fund , for example, has cash
reserves in excess of 25% of the Fund ' s Operating expenditures;
generally, a reserve of at least five percent is recommended.
The Auditors did have technical concerns with how the previous
CPA firm recorded our assets , liabilities and equity accounts.
For example, encumbrances were recorded at year end as
expenditures rather than a reserve of Fund Balance. Accruals
were not always recorded as such . Of particular significance to
the Sanitation District , depreciation of all property, plant and
equipment was not fully recorded , resulting in a reduction of
$1 .3 million in stated retained earnings. ( It should be noted
that this does not effect the cash balance of the fund , only the
book value of some of the fund ' s assets. )
The bottom line of these technical corrections is that several
of the fund ' s beginning balances needed to be adjusted . The
Sanitation Fund was reduced $1 ,436,080 (primarily the improper
recording of depreciation) and the City ' s General Fund was
increased $85,508 (primarily understatement of accrued accounts
receeivables ) .
Two other issues were raised. First , it was noted that the City
does not maintain a General Fixed Asset Account Group - this has
been cited by the prior Audit Firm, and needs to be addressed in
FY88-90. Without a fixed asset inventory, it is difficult to
assure ourselves that all General Fund property is being
adequately maintained and/or safeguarded .
A second issue was the proper classification of the Zoo Operating
Fund . Because the fund is only recovering 30 percent of its
direct operating costs, it should be considered a Special Revenue
Fund and not an Enterprise Fund. This does not effect its
current fiscal condition in any way.
AUDITOR ' S MANAGEMENT LETTER
Attachment 1 contains a summary of the 16 specific
recommendations by the Auditors ' , and staff ' s response. As an
overview, there are a number of accounting procedures that will
need to be developed or revised during the next several months.
These include better documentation of procedures, better
definition and structure of funds and accounts, and consolidating
financial and accounting responsibilities within the Finance
Department .
ADDITIONAL COSTS
Attachment 2 is a letter from the Auditors outlining cost
overruns and their request for an additional $3,000. A copy of
the contract is included as Attachment 3.
Staff supports the additional request for three reasons: 1 ) the
legal obligation is somewhat cloudy at this point ; 2) the post-
audit technical assistance by the Auditors will expedite our
ability to strengthen our accounting system and such assistance
is best faciltiated through a good working relationship ; and 3)
the Finance Department can afford the additional cost without
requiring extra appropriations from Council .
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends Council move the following :
1 ) Accept the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the
City of Ata=_cadero and the Report and Financial Statements
`or the Sanitation District , for the year ending .rune 30,
1988; and ,
2) -,, Authorize the City Manager to pay Glenn, Burdette, Phillips
and Bryson an additional $3,000 for audit cost overruns and
to provide additional technical assistance.

ATTACHMENT 1
AUDIT RECOMMENDATIONS, FY87-88
1 . Recommendation: Develop a written Accounting Manual .
Response: Staff concurs, and will begin developing such a
manual . In so doing, we will consider other
Cities ' practices as well as suggestions by the
Auditors. Further , many of the following
recommendations will be incorporated into the
Accounting Manual .
2. Recommendation: Employees who handle cash should be bonded.
Response: Although no improprieties were noted , Staff
generally concurs with the recommendation. Two
strategies will be used . First , all Finance
Department employees will be bonded. Second ,
procedural efforts will be established to reduce
the number of employees that regularly handle a
significant amount of cash . For example,
discussions are underway to allow building
developers to pay the Finance Department all fees
and permits. Their receipt will then allow Public
Works and Community Development to issue the
appropriate permits (after all other requirements
have been met ) .
3. Recommendation: All bank accounts should be reconciled to
the General Ledger monthly.
Response: Staff concurs. This applied to the Sanitation
District ' s checking account . Since the District
will be folded into the City ' s accounting system,
monthly reconciliation should be assured .
4. Recommendation: The Local Transportation Fund should be
split into two funds; one Enterprise Fund (for Dial-A-Ride,
et al ) and one Special Revenue Fund (for the non-
transit/street resurfacing activities) .
Response: Staff concurs. Later this year ( late March or
early April ) , staff expects to bring to Council an
item that will disaggregate the Developer Fee Fund
into separate funds , to improve financial
reporting and better account for resources ,
particularly interest . At that time, the Local
Transportation Fund will be sprit . In the
interim, separate accounts exist to distinguish
between Transit and Non-Transit expenditures.
5. Recommendation: The City should periodically review budget
to actual and make appropriation transfers as appropriate.
Response: Staff strongly agrees. Quarterly reports have
been provided to Council in the past and
currently monthly reports are distributed to
Council and all Department Heads.
Staff supports a policy of presenting
appropriation amendments to Council whenever a
large, unanticipated expense occurs in an
individual Departmental budget . This should be
done as soon as possible to allow Council to take
one of three actions: 1 ) Disallow the expense ( if
possible) ; 2) Approve a transfer ofappropriations
(from Contingency or the fund balance) ; or 3)
Direct the Department Head to absorb the cost and
make other service adjustments as necessary.
6" Recommendation: Back—up for Journal Entries should be
retained and two signatures should be required. �
Response: Staff concurs' In general terms, the policy will
be that a unique number will be established for
each Journal Entry; all supporting documentation
will be attached to the journal entry sheet and
each item will be filed in Journal Entry number
order . In addition, all journal entries will be
countersigned by the Finance Director ; as well as
the person who prepared the entry.
7~ Recommendation: Voided warrants (checks) should be defaced
and noted as such, and supporting documentation retained.
Response: Staff concurs and in fact , follows this procedure.
Staff feels this recommendation was based on an
isolated incident .
E3. Recommendation: Debt Service Funds should be properly
budgeted for and adequate f«orxd balances maintained.
Response: Staff concurs. Much of the problem appears to be
related to some confusion over recordino revenues
and appropriations for Special Assessment
Districts. This will be resolved at the same time
the Developer Fee Fund is addressed ' Overall ,
sufficient resources appear to exist to cover
anticipated debt service expenses.
9. Recommendation: Encumbrances should be recorded as an
, expense only when the goods and services are actually
received, in mrxJwwr to avoid misstating actual expenditures
in any given reporting year.Response: Although Although somewhat esoteric , Staff concurs.
Implementing this recommendation will require
increasing the subsequent year ' s appropriation by
�
the amount of the outstanding encumbrance. This
should be done shortly after the prior fiscal
year ' s books are closed (possibly in late August ) .
The source for the additional appropriation would
be a higher than anticipated fund balance. An
additional benefit of such a "rebudget" amendment
would be to either increase or decrease
appropriations, depending upon the actual_ fund
balance (versus the amount ) .
10. Recommendation: Appropriately described expense accounts
should be established and/or used to avoid grouping
dissimilar expenses.
Response: Staff concurs. Effective July l , 1989, a new set
' of detailed revenue and expenditure account codes
will be implemented . In the meanwhile,
/
departmental staff will be encouraged to use the
most appropriate expense accounts currently
available.
11 . Recommendation: Debt Service Payments made by the County
(on behalf of the Sanitation District) should be recorded.
-- Response: Staff concurs. Information regarding county
payments are sent to Public Works, and Finance was
not aware of the specific dates and amounts. This
item should be addressed as a result of a
concerted effort to centralize accounting
responsibilities in Finance.
12~ Recommendation: Revenues that have been earned but not
received should be recorded as Receivables.
Response: As noted, this item does not materially affect
the City ' s financial picture, but it should be
adhered to for GAAP purposes. As part of the year
end closing of the books, all receivables which
have a known amount and are expected within 90
days will be recorded as a receivable.
13. Recommendation: Record all proceeds received as Other
Financing Sources ( in this case, the lease to purchase Fire
and Computer equipment) .
Response: Staff concurs and will account for these funds
accordingly. �
°
14. Recommendation: The City should pursue all available �
15. Recommendation: Payments for Services that extend over a
period of time should be recorded as a prepaid expense;
Finance Department should maintain a copy of all active
lease contracts.
Response: Staff concurs with both recommendations.
Regarding Prepaid Expenses, we will generally try
to avoid prepaying any service that extends over
two fiscal years; and second , we will expense the
item when paid , but at year end, we will reverse
the amount that should be considered a prepaid
expense and post it accordingly.
16. Recommendation: Sanitation District should maintain a
complete General Ledger.
Response: Staff concurs with the integration of the District
with the City, proper accounting can be expected .

Dear Ray:
This letter is to follow up on our conversation at the Finance Committee Meeting on
January 19th, 1989 regarding my request for an additional $3,000 in audit fees for
the year ending June 30, 1988.
As I mentioned at the meeting, our actual costs for performing the audit are
approximately $27,500 to date. The large cost overage occurred primarily because we
could not rely on the June 30, 1987 final audited numbers, W. We based our fee
estimate on the representation in the proposal request that your prior years
financial statements had been audited and that you were requesting an audit of the
year ended June 30, 1988. When we started testing account balances, we became aware
that many accounts had not been adjusted correctly at June 30, 1987. We informed Mr.
Jorgensen of this finding and he seemed unconcerned. We then informed Mr. Hanley of
the additional work we were required to do to properly audit the year ended June 30,
1988. His response was for us to "do what we need to do to get it right." We also
mentioned the problems when we met with you on 9/29/88.
The fact that it required approximately 100 audit journal entries to correct the
internal financial statements, many of them relating to prior years, clearly
indicates the financial operations of the City were not in order at June 30, 1988.
The purpose of an audit is to verify the accuracy of the clients financial
statements, not to perform bookkeeping services and prepare journal entries. We went
over journal entries and accounting concepts with the staff as we were performing the
audit to educate them for future years. We performed these services, which are above
and beyond the requirements of the contract, to help the City get back on its feet.
We are requesting an additional $3,000 of fees to help offset our $13,500 cost
overage. Please see what you can do for us.

TO: City Council February 28, 1989
VIA: Ray Windsor, City Manager
FROM: Henry Engen, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: REPORT ON HOTEL PARK PRECISE PLAN CONDITION #17
RE: ROAD ABANDONMENT
BACKGROUND:
At the Council ' s February 14, 1989 meeting, the Council was
prepared to consider the appeal of staff denial of a grading
permit for the Hotel Park project at 5805 Capistrano by Don
Messer. The appeal was withdrawn that evening but left
undecided the status of a condition which literally precluded
obtaining any permits to commence the project until the road
abandonment had been recorded.
ANALYSIS:
Condition #17 of the approved precise plan for this project (see
attached) reads as follows:
1117 . The road abandonment (portion of Capistrano remaining
after realignment) shall be recorded prior to issuance
of permits for Phase I. "
Among the permits that would be required to relocate Capistrano
would be an encroachment permit and grading permit (both within
the right-of-way and on private property) . The City would not
want to abandon the road prior to having the realignment assured.
This matter has been reviewed with the City Attorney who has
advised that given the literally impossible condition, that it is
incumbent upon the City to come forth with a solution which will
carry out the City' s intent.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council concur with the following interpretation of
the above requirement:
1 ) An irrevocable offer of dedication shall be submitted by the
applicant to the City prior to the issuance of any permit.
2 ) The applicant shall submit a formal abandonment request
(this has already been done) .
•
3) An encroachment permit to cover grading for the road right-
of-way shall be obtained €or the purpose of constructing the
new roadway and other public improvements.
4 ) Abandonment action shall be conditioned to require recorda-
ation after construction and approval of the proposed road
improvements by the Public Works Department. The abandon-
ment shall be recorded prior to any final inspection.
5) A grading permit for site work shall be obtained separately
from the encroachment permit.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 14-89 EXPANDING THE LIST OF CERTIFIED
ARBORISTS AUTHORIZED TO PREPARE TREE PROTECTION PLANS
BACKGROUND:
The City has received the attached letter from D.O. Denney
requesting that he and Richard Alvarez of Arbor Tree Surgery be
added to the list of certified arborists.
ANALYSIS:
Ordinance No. 168, "the Tree Ordinance" , provides that "tree
protection plans" shall be approved by an International Society
of Arboriculture (ISA) certified arborist. . . .designated by
resolution of the City Council as acceptable to the City of
Atascadero" . To implement this provision of the ordinance,
Resolution No. 33-88 was adopted which listed all of the ISA
certified arborists as of June, 1987 .
D.O. Denney has provided his certification (#391) together with
other credentials and clearly qualifies under the City' s Tree
Ordinance. In spite of compelling credentials, Richard Alvarez
is not certifiable pursuant to the ordinance' s limiting language.
In view of the above, the attached resolution only provides for
the addition of D.O. Denney to the City' s approved list. How-
ever, the tree ordinance is in the course of being redrafted and
revised with respect to the ISA limitation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of attached Resolution No. 14-89.

Attn: City Council
Dear Sirs:
Several months ago, Richard G. Alvarez and I, D. 0. Denney, applied in
writing to be placed on your list as Certified Arborists, qualified to
write consultations in the City of Atascadero.
We have spent a lifetime involved in the care of trees, and since 1950,
in the Atascadero area.
In October 1988, we had a meeting with the acting City Manager. I do
not believe that he is with the City anymore. This information and certi-
fications were left with him for submission to the City Council.
Your refusal to accept us as qualified people has caused a great deal of
embarrassment and harm to Arbor Tree Surgery. We are prime contractors
for Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and have many customers who we need to deal
with.
Please consider our problem and accept our application for approval.
Very truly yours,

FROM: MAGGIE RICE, EXEC. MGR.
SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATION AT CHAMBER BOARD MEETINGS
In an effort to further encourage cooperation and understanding
between the business community and the City elected officials,
the Board of Directors has asked me to respectfully request
that the City Council designate one of its members to attend
regular Chamber Board meetings.
These meetings are held the second Thursday of each month
from 12 noon to 1 :30 P.M. at the Chamber office. (Optional
brown bag lunch) .
We are well aware of the tremendous burden of the many meetings
you must attend, but believe that this would be a step toward
improved communications between the City Council and the
business community.
We look forward to your reply.
