Atascadero City Council
Staff Report - City Manager’s Office
Side Letter of Agreement
for the Service Employees International Union Local 620
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Council:
1. Approve the Side Letter of Agreement for the Service Employees International
Union Local 620.
2. Approve the Salary Schedule for Fiscal Year 2018-2019.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Atascadero negotiated a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the
Service Employees International Union Local 620 (SEIU), and the Council approved the
MOU and associated salary schedule on October 23, 2018.
Upon further review of the Salary Schedule, an error was found for the position of Lead
Zookeeper. If approved, the attached MOU and Salary Schedule would be amended to
correct this error.
On October 10, 2017, Council approved minor staffing changes to the Zoo Division. These
changes authorized the creation of a new “Lead Zookeeper” position at Range 15.
However, while developing the Salary Schedule for the Fiscal Years 2018-2019 and
2019-2020, the Lead Zookeeper was inadvertently listed as Range 17 instead of Range 15,
as it was approved by Council. The attached schedule corrects this administrative error.
The employees are being and have been paid correctly at Range 15.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Public Works Department
Approve Final Map for Tract 3078
(Viejo Camino and Santa Barbara Rd)
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt Draft Resolution approving the Final Map for Tract 3078 and accepting
portions of the subdivision public improvements into the City of Atascadero Wastewater
Collection and Roadway systems and authorizing the City Engineer to accept the work
as complete.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The Vesting Tentative Map for Tract 3078 was approved by the City Council on
February 23, 2016 (Resolution No. 2016-012), which authorized the subdivision of
approximately 10 acres adjacent to Viejo Camino and Santa Barbara Road into 17
single-family lots consistent with the PD-33 Overlay Zoning District. At the time of
approval, the development was known as “The Groves” but was later renamed to
“Cerro Roble”. As part of the approval, the following off -site improvements were
required:
Construct frontage improvements on approximately 700 feet of Viejo Camino
from Santa Barbara Road to “Old” Halcon Road including pavement
widening, curb and gutter, landscaping, transit bus stop shelter, and an 8 -foot
wide multi-purpose path.
Construction of approximately 2,200 feet of municipal sanitary sewer
extension along Halcon Road from the intersection of Calle Milano
(Las Lomas development entrance) and south along Viejo Camino to the
entrance of the Cerro Roble development.
The subdivider, Midland Cerro Roble, LLC, opted to construct all subdivision
improvements prior to seeking approval for recordation of the Final Map, which
eliminated the need for a subdivision improvement agreement and financial security for
the improvements. With exception to some minor items covered by a warranty security,
construction of the public improvements is now complete and the subdivider has
requested approval of the final map by the City for recordation.

ITEM NUMBER: A-4
DATE: 11/27/18
Analysis:
The City Engineer and Community Development Director have reviewed the final map
and accompanying documents, fees, and materials for filling of Tract 3078, and
determined they are in substantial conformity with the approved tentative map and
conditions of approval. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 66474.1, the
approving legislative body (City Council) shall not deny a final map provided it
determine the final map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved
vesting tentative map.
In addition, the following offers of dedication to the public and recommended action to
accept, accept subject to improvement, or reject without prejudice are indicated on the
Final Map for Tract 3078:
An offer of dedication is accepted for public road purposes for Santa Barbara
Road (east of Viejo Camino) to rectify the physical location of a portion of
Santa Barbara Road which currently resides outside the public way.
An offer of dedication is accepted for public road purposes for Viejo Camino to
accommodate the needed right-of-way for the multi-purpose trail and transit bus
stop shelter.
An offer of dedication is accepted for public utility easements throughout the final
map for the benefit of public utility companies.
An offer of dedication is rejected without prejudice to future acceptance for public
road purposes for Via Castillo and Via Milagro and shall be privately mai ntained.
The City Engineer recommends that the Council accept the sanitary sewer main
extension constructed with Tract 3078 improvements into the City’s wastewater
collection system; and accept the roadway improvements along Santa Barbara Road
and Viejo Camino including the multi-purpose path and transit bus stop shelter. Doing
so will allow these facilities to be owned and maintained by the City of Atascadero.
Furthermore, staff recommends that the Council authorize the City Engineer to accept
the satisfactory completion of subdivision improvement work on their behalf.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report - City Manager’s Office
Use of Armory as a Warming Shelter
RECOMMENDATION:
Council provide staff direction on whether to work through a process to consider using the
Armory as a Warming Shelter as proposed by Transitional Food & Shelter (TFS).
DISCUSSION:
Last year, there was a group of community volunteers that worked to provide a no-barrier
warming shelter in Atascadero. The group, calling themselves Atascadero Warming Center or
AWC provided a warming shelter for those homeless that did not qualify to stay at ECHO.
(ECHO requires its clients to meet certain requirements such as sobriety, non-violence,
working to break the cycle of homelessness, employed or willingness to work toward
employment, etc.).
The no-barrier shelter (everyone is welcome and there are no criteria that must be met to stay
at the shelter) was operated out of St. William’s Church. St. William’s allowed AWC to operate
out of their church hall and ECHO provided fiduciary services to the AWC group. Since last
year, the AWC volunteers have merged with Transitional Food & Shelter (TFS) to provide
both medically fragile homeless services and a warming center. TFS reports that the
Atascadero Warming Center was open for 101 nights during the winter of 2017-2018 and
provided 3,737 shelter nights.
According to the proposal submitted by TFS (Attachment 1), St William’s has notified them
that it cannot accommodate the Atascadero Warming Center after January 21, 2019 and that
the warming center will need to relocate. In accordance with State Law, the Atascadero City
Municipal Code currently provides for emergency shelter zoning. The ECHO site was
designated as the emergency shelter zone for the City. An emergency shelter/warming
shelter may be approved for other sites and in other zones within the City, but it would require
that a potential applicant apply for an amendment to the City’s designated Emergency Shelter
Overlay Zone along with a Conditional Use Permit. Following the City Council’s amendment
of the Municipal Code to amend the overlay zone, the conditional use permit would then be
reviewed by the Planning Commission and certain findings would need to be met in order to
approve the CUP and allow a shelter in alternate locations. The warming center is allowed
to operate out of St. William’s Church without City (or public) review or approval, as the church
was established prior to City incorporation, did not have a CUP that prohibited the activity and
it could be reasonably argued that sheltering the homeless could be considered part of a
Page 32 of 136
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 11/27/18
church’s overall mission. There are a few other churches within in town that would meet this
criteria, but otherwise a warming shelter would be prohibited in most zones within the City and
allowed in a select few, only with a CUP.
The State of California Health and Safety Code Sections 15301 – 15301.6 (Attachment 2)
provides that armories shall be made available to those counties or a city for the purpose of
providing temporary shelter for homeless persons during the period from October 15th through
April 15th of each year. TFS has asked the City of Atascadero to request to use the Atascadero
Armory as a warming shelter under these provisions. Under these provisions, the City or the
County are the only two agencies that can choose to enter into an agreement with the State
Military Department (National Guard). As proposed by TFS, the City could then enter into an
agreement with TFS to operate the shelter on the City’s behalf.
TFS proposes a partnership with the City to operate a warming shelter at the Atascadero
Armory from Janaury 22, 2019 through April 15, 2019. The Atascadero National Guard Armory
is located at 6105 Olmeda Avenue. It is adjacent to the Printery Building and Colony Park/Youth
Center and across the street from the Atascadero Fine Arts Academy (Grades 4-8).
Page 33 of 136
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 11/27/18
TFS believes that the warming shelter would benefit the homeless by providing a place
to sleep and eat in a warm, dry, safe and trusting environment and receive services help
from the Military Veterans and Social Security Administrations. They hope that the
additional care will allow some shelter clients to find jobs and return to the mainstream as
productive citizens. The TFS proposal also states that the benefits to the City of
Atascadero could be as follows:
“Public confidence in our community and with visitors will be increased resulting
in increased shopping, meals at restaurants and entertainment venues and
increased tax revenues.
Pilfering, theft, panhandling, begging, public intoxication, drug dealing, public
urination and defecation will be reduced.
Business confidence will increase.
New Business attraction to our City will increase thereby supporting the City
Development Program resulting in increasing tax revenues.
Atascadero will not be subject to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in the
future as there will always be a bed available to each Homeless who wants one.
Atascadero will be able to lead in establishing a Regional Homeless Center,
probably outside its City limits, thereby having the Homeless leave Atascadero
and move to the Regional Center.
Atascadero will be a model City within our County, attractive and prideful to
existing and future citizens.”
TFS has offered to manage all aspects of the operations of the warming shelter including:
Manager for open & close of the Warming Center.
Volunteer coordinator to manage the website and coordinate volunteer signup
online.
Four volunteers, 2 for each 6-hour shift. Volunteers will be trained and
fingerprinted. Total Volunteer person hours for the 2/12 months at the ARMORY
= 2,424 volunteer hours.
Safety Officer to coordinate entry and registration with the volunteers at opening.
The proposal indicates that in addition to providing meals and some clothing, TFS would
provide daily cleaning services and provide laundry service. Because of concerns raised
by staff relative to the proximity of the Armory to schools and the Youth Center/youth
activities, TFS is proposing that they pick up the homeless and their belongings at two
designated locations. The homeless would then enter the Armory from the bus and
remain inside until 6am the following morning when they would re-board the bus and be
returned to the location where they were picked up. TFS would also provide transportation
for medical services and would coordinate interfaces with the Military Veterans
Administration and the Social Security Administration. The proposal does indicate that
TFS would like to have a more permanent North County Regional 24/7 Facility by the
winter of 2019/2020, so the use of the Armory would be just for this year.
In order to use the Armory as a Warming Center the City would be subject to compliance
with Health and Safety Code Sections 15301 – 15301.6. These sections require the
following:
Page 34 of 136
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 11/27/18
a. The City would be solely responsible for any costs required to comply with state
and local health and safety codes during the license period. The City could require
TFS to reimburse the City for these costs as part of any agreement with TFS,
however the State would look to the City for payment, regardless of the agreement
with TFS. Currently the TFS proposal does not address this issue.
b. The City would be responsible for all legal liabilities during the license period and
would be required to hold the State harmless. Again the City could require TFS to
indemnify the City, hold the City harmless and carry specific insurance amounts to
cover such legal liabilities. The City could still incur costs associated with any
claims or lawsuits. The TFS proposal does state that TFS would “Provide a rider
to the Transitional Food & Shelter liability insurance in favor of the City of
Atascadero.”
c. The City would be responsible for all costs of providing shelter in the state Armory
including:
a. All costs for minor repair work
b. All costs for providing the Armory for shelter operations including utilities,
building maintenance and repair, administrative costs, and costs for
national Guardsman (required for the security of military equipment and
repair)
The current TFS proposal does not address these costs.
d. The City would be responsible for relocation and transportation for homeless
persons should the Military Department notify the City that the Armory was needed
for military purposes or an emergency. The current TFS proposal does not indicate
what would happen in any instance where the Armory would not be available.
e. The City would be responsible for providing uniformed security personnel from one
hour before the shelter opens until one hour after lights out. The TFS proposal
indicates that the City would hire “a uniform security guard to be on site 1 hour
before open and 1 hour after lights out.” Costs for uniformed security guards can
be from $27 - $35 an hour. The opening and lights out times are unknown at this
time.
The health and safety code also requires “that officers from the local law
enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the Armory will conduct periodic visits to
the Armory on each night of operation.” City staff has not met with National Guard
staff to determine what exactly this would entail.
f. The City would be responsible for providing janitorial service from a licensed
contractor in order to meet state health and sanitation standards for restrooms and
shower facilities. The TFS proposal does indicate that TFS would hire and manage
a cleaning service for daily cleaning.
Health and Safety Code 15301.6 states that any County obtaining a license shall establish
a local shelter advisory committee and lists the specific responsibilities of that committee.
Staff has not yet met with the proper personnel at the National Guard state offices, so it
is currently unclear as to whether this applies to the City (or whether the County of SLO
Page 35 of 136
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 11/27/18
will have to do this if the City applies). The City is also currently unaware of the State’s
process or timeline for the application process to use the Armory as a shelter.
Tonight, staff is looking for Council direction on how to proceed with the request from TFS to
partner to use the Armory as a no barrier warming shelter. Because of the extremely short
time frames and the holidays, there are essentially three options available to the Council:
Option #1
Direct staff, to bring back an agreement with TFS and an agreement with the National
Guard to the January 8th City Council meeting in order to have the agreements in place
to open the warming shelter on January 22, 2019. (Due to the holidays, agreements and
staff reports would need to be in substantially final form by end of day on December 19 th
in order to meet the agenda publishin g deadline.) If this is the direction by the Council,
staff would bring back an agreement with TFS, with a scope of work/responsibilities as
presented in the TFS proposal. There would not be time for significant public input on
items such as pick-up locations, hours of operations, programs, rules, number of beds or
other items of community concern. Nor would there be adequate time f or the
development and review of an operational and management plan that would address
these items in detail. Staff would work diligently with the National Guard to determine if
the timeline is achievable from their end and what repairs or preparations would need to
be made to the Armory prior to opening the warming shelter.
Option #2
Direct staff to follow a process that is similar to the one used to approve both the
designation of ECHO as the City’s emergency shelter and the Council approval of the
management and operational plan. (Because of the responsibilities placed on the City
for the use of the Armory, staff would also recommend approval of a financial plan.)
ECHO has a City approved operational and management plan that was crafted over a
period of seven months with a lot of public input, neighborhood meetings, and back and
forth between the City and ECHO to insure that the final plan adopted by the City Council
met both the needs of ECHO and the community to the maximum extent possible.
Because this is a very public and detailed process, the goal could be to work toward
bringing agreements back to the City Council for final approval in time to open the
warming shelter for next winter (November 2019). Directing staff to follow this approach
would include:
Direct staff to work with TFS to help them craft a detailed operational and
management plan that clearly spells out things like programs offered, how many
beds will be at the shelter, what are the hours of operation, staffing ratios, what
rules will be in place, will there be any screening, which nights will they be open,
how will they communicate what nights they will be open, what type of community
outreach and communication will there be, what type of community liaison
contact will be provided, will walk-ins be permitted, what are the consequences
of infractions, under what circumstances would the City terminate the contract,
etc). As part of the development of the operational and management plan, these
key elements would be discussed with the community and the Council,
potentially through study sessions, Council meetings and public outreach
meetings.
Page 36 of 136
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 11/27/18
As part of the development of the operation plan, TFS and the City would identify
and evaluate several potential pick-up/drop off locations. Once several potential
locations were identified, public study sessions and very importantly
neighborhood meetings near potential pickup locations would be held to receive
feed-back. Approval of the two pick-up locations would be made at a Council
meeting prior to approval of the agreements.
Help TFS craft a financial plan that assures the City that it has adequate funding
on hand to address both the operations of the facility and any repairs or damages
to the Armory facility. Indemnification language and insurance requirements
would be analyzed as part of this plan.
Draft an agreement with TFS that clearly spells out responsibilities, expectations
and other details that would need to be in the agreement.
Work with the National Guard to understand the program in greater detail,
understand what measures or costs would be needed to comply with health and
safety codes, complete any application packet(s), and shepherd the paperwork
through the state process.
Once all of this is complete, the Council would consider approval of the
operational and management plan, the financial plan, the agreement with TFS,
and the agreement with the National Guard.
Option #3
Direct staff to reject the TFS proposal for use of the Armory as a warming shelter.
Conclusion:
The City of Atascadero does have a portion of the homeless population that is not eligible
for overnight stays at ECHO, either due to sobriety/addiction issues, the lack of desire to
work towards a home/employment, fighting or the capacity of ECHO. TFS has reached
out to the City to enter into an agreement to jointly provide an overnight warming center
at the Atascadero Armory to serve this population from January 22, 2019 through April
15, 2019. In order to do this the City would have to enter into an agreement with the
National Guard in accordance with Health and Safety Code Sections 15301 – 15301.6.
While ensuring shelter is available to all of its residents is a goal of compassionate
government, the location of a warming shelter should be evaluated as closely and be as
transparent as the approval any non-conforming land-use. The Armory’s proximity to schools,
the abandoned Printery, and the City’s Youth Center makes it a less than ideal location for a
no barrier/low barrier warming shelter. In order to mitigate some of the concerns of the
proposed warming center’s proximity to schools, TFS does propose to bus clients to and from
the Armory. Selection of the two pick-up/drop-off points may have significant impacts on the
adjacent neighborhoods. Pursuing and/or further evaluating and refining the TFS proposal
could take a large amount of staff time (Option #1 is estimated to be an additional 80-100
hours of staff time) up to a very significant undertaking requiring a considerable investment of
staff time and numerous Council meetings. Staff is looking for direction from Council on how
to respond to the proposal from TFS.
Page 37 of 136
ITEM NUMBER: C-1
DATE: 11/27/18
The fiscal impact is dependent on the direction received from Council and would range
as follows:
1. Option #1 - an estimated $29,000-$33,000 of additional staff time and security
guard costs, plus any unknown amounts not addressed in the TFS proposal.
2. Option #2 - an estimated $73 ,000 - $105,000 of staff time and outreach/incidental

The Homeless Cause Severe Problems for Our Entire Atascadero
Community.
The Homeless depress the values of our entire community.
They depress our pride in our City. We become unable to enjoy living in
Atascadero.
They depress the value of our homes.
They depress downtown business. The Homeless discourage both local
Atascadero citizens and visitors from shopping at local merchants, from eating at
our local restaurants and from enjoying local theaters and attractions. Tourists
shy away from downtown Atascadero filled with the Homeless.
They discourage new business formation.
These are the problems we experience and perceptions we make daily due to
the Homeless in our downtown and neighborhoods:
- Pan Handling/begging -Create Fear
- Stealing/shoplifting -Doing Drugs
- Public drinking/drunk -Traffic problem
- Poor hygiene: Smell, visually unappealing, unkempt
- Public urination/defecation -Urine smells
- Violent -Mentally Ill
- Group loitering -Lice infected
- Loud -Freeloaders
We already know that criminalizing the Homeless is not working. These Homeless
peoples are Broken. The proven way to mend them is to provide services needed
by the Homeless in an environment filled with compassion which requires placing

them in a setting where compassion is possible. This setting is where many will
mend and return to society. We experienced this first-hand at the Atascadero
Warming Center this past cold/rainy season. Sargent Jeff Wilshusen, APD will
provide testimony to our accomplishments.
Demographics of the Homeless
The City of Atascadero presently has a Homeless population of between
250 and 350. Atascadero’s Homeless are spread over a diverse number of
locations: along the El Camino Real from Rosario to south of Santa Rosa Avenue,
in Atascadero Creek from the Salinas River to Portola Ave. in the west, in Stadium
Park, along Hwy 41 from El Camino Real to the Zoo and in a few but increasing
number along the Salinas River from Hwy 41 to Home Depot.
All of the Atascadero locations except the Salinas River from Hwy 41 to
Home Depot have heavy Homeless populations with close access to both
downtown businesses and to neighborhoods.
Ages of individual Atascadero Homeless range from teenagers to elderly in
their 70’s; men make up approximately 85 to 90% with perhaps 1/3 of them
military Veterans. As many as 10 to 13 % of Homeless in Atascadero are families
with young children that attend grammar and high school in Atascadero.
The vast majority of Homeless in all age groups in Atascadero have alcohol
dependency and consume alcoholic drinks daily; some of them particularly
concentrated in the 18 to 35 year of age bracket use drugs. Perhaps 30% of the
homeless have some mental illness. Over 97% of Homeless are white. A very
small number of Homeless in Atascadero have come from Paso Robles.
Paso Cares in Paso Robles states on their website that Paso Robles
Homeless are estimated to be approximately 300. Paso Robles Homeless are
heavily concentrated along the Salinas River from the Hwy 46 west area to Hwy
46 east with the largest numbers along the river between Spring St. and the Hwy
46 east Hwy 101 interchange.

Paso Robles Homeless are not present in the downtown sector of the City.
We presently have no demographics on ages or gender but expect that the
demographics including alcohol and drug dependencies as well as mental illness
are similar to Atascadero Homeless.
About Transitional Food & Shelter (TFS)
TFS, located in Atascadero is dedicated to helping the most vulnerable, least able
80%+ of the Homeless in Atascadero. TFS operates two inter-related programs
Medically Fragile Homeless (MFH) and the Atascadero Warming Center (AWC).
TFS fills the giant GAP in services provided to the Homeless in Atascadero. MFH
and AWC collaborate with ECHO. ECHO works with MFH almost weekly, with
MFH providing Housing & services to ECHO clients. ECHO acted as Financial
Fiduciary when the Atascadero Warming Center (AWC) was initially formed to
provide shelter, food and services to the 80% of Homeless who do not meet
ECHO’s model. ECHO also provided dinners for some AWC Homeless during the
past cold/rainy season.
MFH (Medically Fragile Homeless) partners with agencies County-wide to care
for homeless individuals and families that have no resources and are not
physically able to care for themselves. MFH provides 24/7 caseworker assistance,
small houses to live in, food, and assistance to improve their health and re-enter
the community. Clients are referred to MFH by Twin Cities Hospital, The LINK
Family Resource Center of Atascadero, ECHO, TMHA, SLO County Department of
Social Services and HASLO to name a few.
AWC with assistance from The LINK Family Resource Center of Atascadero,
ECHO, Atascadero Police Dept., and local churches St. Williams, ABC, and Global
Sharing and over 100 Volunteers from throughout Atascadero provides a safe,
warm, dry overnight shelter, meals and support services in a trusting and
respectful environment. In 2017-2018, AWC provided over 3,737 shelter nights,
served 8,025 meals in the 101 nights it was open to this most vulnerable, largest
segment of the Homeless in Atascadero. AWC touches more Homeless than any
other Homeless shelter in North County.

AWC is now scheduled to open at St. Williams on Dec. 1, 2018 thru January 21,
2019. Due to the increase in Parish programs at night @ St. Williams, AWC must
move to an alternate facility on Jan. 22, 2019 through the remaining end of
cold/rainy weather and will close near the end of March or early April 2019.
The TFS Board of Directors are seasoned community leaders with multiple years
of Collaboration experience. A concerted effort has been made to include
members with experience in starting and building new companies, Operations
and many varied, diverse segments of Social Service Agencies including County
Social Services which is the major source of the funding for organizations that
serve the Homeless.

Partnership Proposal
Phase 1
TFS proposes the City of Atascadero join in partnership with
Transitional Food & Shelter (TFS) with assistance of The LINK
Family Resource Center of Atascadero, Atascadero Police Dept.,
local churches St. Williams, ABC, Global Sharing and other
churches and volunteers from throughout Atascadero to provide a
safe, warm, dry overnight shelter, meals and support services in a
trusting and respectful environment filled with compassion in the
Atascadero ARMORY.
TFS is fully committed to provide security in and outside the
Armory to assure safety to our youth, all citizens and the
Homeless.

The Benefits of this Partnership to the City of Atascadero are
substantial.
Public confidence in our community and with visitors will be
increased resulting in increased shopping, meals at
restaurants and entertainment venues and increased tax
revenues
Pilfering, theft, panhandling, begging, public intoxication,
drug dealing, public urination and defecation will be
reduced.
Business confidence will increase.
New Business attraction to our City will increase thereby
supporting the City Development Program resulting in
increasing tax revenues.
Atascadero will not be subject to the 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals decision in the future as there will always be a bed
available to each Homeless who wants one.
Atascadero will be able to lead in establishing a Regional
Homeless Center, probably outside its City limits, thereby
having the Homeless leave Atascadero and move to the
Regional Center.
Atascadero will be a model City within our County,
attractive and prideful to existing and future citizens.
The Benefits to the Homeless will also be many as they will be
able to sleep and eat in a warm, dry, safe and trusting
environment and receive services help with the Military Veterans
and Social Security Administrations. Some will find jobs and

return to the mainstream as productive citizens. Some will move
to the MFH program for support to end of life.
The Benefits to Transitional Food and Shelter and its many
supporters will be a “job well done for the Homeless” AND a
solid basis for Phase 2 in its plan to establish a North County
Regional Center for the Homeless outside the Atascadero City
Limits, thereby removing the large majority of Homeless from the
Atascadero City center.
Partnership Responsibilities
The responsibilities for Transitional Food & Shelter (TFS) and the City of
Atascadero will be as follows herein.
Transitional Food & Shelter will provide these activities and will be
responsible for all related costs:
Operating management staff led by AWC Executive Director to
manage all aspects of the operation of Warming Center in the
Armory
o Manager for open & close the Warming Center
o Volunteer coordinator to manage the website and
coordinate volunteer signup online.
o Four volunteers, 2 for each 6-hour shift. Volunteers will be
trained and fingerprinted. Total Volunteer person hours for
the 2/12 months at the ARMORY = 2,424 volunteer hours.
o Safety Officer to coordinate entry and registration with the
volunteers at opening.
o Provide meals daily. (Assuming the Warming Center is open
23 night per month for 2 ½ months, and serving an average

of 55 Homeless per night, the Warming Center at the
Armory will serve 3795 meals to the Homeless as well as
coffee, juice, water and small sweets.)
o Provide hundreds of clothing articles: pants, socks,
underwear, shirts and jackets.
o Hire and manage a cleaning service for daily cleaning.
o Hire & provide laundry service 2X per week of all blankets
used overnight.
o Provide transportation for medical services and coordinate
interfaces with Military Veterans and Social Security
Administrations.
o Bus service to pick up Homeless at two designated locations
in Atascadero and deliver the Homeless and their belongings
into the Armory compound. Once in the compound, the
Homeless will enter the Armory building with their
belongings and will not be allowed to exit the building until
6:00 AM unless escorted by the Atascadero Police
Department.
o Provide Bus service beginning at 6:00 AM to return the
Homeless to the pickup locations.
o Provide a rider to the Transitional Food & Shelter liability
insurance in favor of the City of Atascadero.
The City of Atascadero will provide and be responsible for the
following activities and all related costs:

(Point of Contact) providing for Transitional Food & Shelter
Page 47 of 136

to use the Armory for the period January 22, 2019 thru April
15, 2019.
o Hire a uniform security guard to be on site 1 hour before
open and 1 hour after lights out.
o Liability insurance to which AWC will provide a rider of AWC
liability insurance.
o Direct APD and any other City departments as necessary to
aid Transitional Food & Shelter in implementing this plan.
o Coordinate with the TFS operating management team to
make this plan a success.
The end of the 2018 – 2019 cold/rainy season marks the closing of the
Atascadero Warming Center at the Armory thereby completing Phase 1
of this plan and brings the Partnership between the City of Atascadero
and Transitional Food & Shelter to a successful close.
See Phase 2 on following pages. Phase 2 does not obligate the City in
any way. Nonetheless, participation by the City of Atascadero will
add significant momentum to successfully relocating the Homeless
away from our Downtown and neighborhoods and perhaps to outside
the City Limits

Phase 2
Build or lease a Facility to House the Homeless away from Downtown
and the neighborhoods, perhaps outside the city limits.
The stage is set to accelerate Phase 2 which has been underway since January of
this year, 2018. TFS requests that the City of Atascadero partner with TFS to
achieve Phase 2 to House the Homeless away from Downtown and the
neighborhoods and perhaps entire outside the Atascadero City limits.
The minimum step that the City of Atascadero must take to keep its options
open to participate in HEAP is to work with the SLO County Planning
Department to declare a Shelter State of Emergency before the end of
November, 2018. This deadline must be met by all cities in SLO County. Arroyo
Grande and San Luis Obispo already have their declarations in process.
Soon after the Atascadero Warming Center opened the 2017 - 2018 season, it
became very clear that there were vast monetary resources available from the
County Board of Supervisors through its extensive County Social Services
organization and its many affiliate non-profit Agencies. County Social Services is a
large and capable organization. These dollars are largely provided thru grants to
Agencies located in SLO and Five Cities. Those agencies in SLO and Five Cities
thrived in providing increased services to the Homeless in their communities. Very
few dollars flowed to Agencies in the North County.
North County Agencies have traditionally been community and local Churches
based. Many individuals and Churches have given of their time, money and
facilities to bring services to the Homeless in their communities. Nonetheless, the
services have not been adequate to serve the needs of the Homeless.
TFS recognized that County Social Services conducted many education, discussion
and allocation of resources meetings. As a result of participation in these
meetings, dollars in the form of grants are recommended to the County Board of
Supervisors who after due diligence approve award of grants. The grants went to
primarily those Agencies that attend the meetings. As our Lisa Fraser, BOD

member and Executive Director of The LINK of Atascadero and Center for Family
Strengthening, explained, “You have to be at the Table to be fed; be at the Table
and you will be fed.”
TFS initiated a program to “be at the Table” in January of this year. A concerted
and accelerated effort took place with the close of the cold/rainy season to
participate in all County Social Service activities as well as the recent connection
with Anne Robin, Director of SLO County Mental Health and Joe Madsen, TMHA
Director of 50 Now. Participation has begun to pay off as two Grants, one from
the 40 Prado fund of County Social Services for AWC and one from SLO City Social
Services for MFH have been granted to TFS.
The Program Manager Laurel Weir of County Social Services who leads the HSOC
(Homeless Services Oversight Committee) decision team has met with AWC Board
members multiple times during the past three quarters to bring us into the HSOC
fold. Our Board member Lisa Fraser was invited to join the HSOC decision
committee which gives us a window and voice in the award decision process.
TFS was a major participant (Orlando Gallegos, Jan Maitzen, and Teresa Baudanza
outnumbered participants from all other Agencies) at the recent planning
meetings held by HSOC on two major Programs for CESH ($760,000) and HEAP
($4,800,000) for which RFPs will be issued in the January thru March time frame
are now being drafted and will be awarded in Q1, 2019. HEAP (Homeless
Emergency Aid Program) is a one-time $4,800,000 made available by the State
of California to San Luis Obispo County of the Homeless.
HEAP is primarily a “build the infrastructure” program of which TFS has been
encouraged to apply to build a North County Homeless Shelter, perhaps outside
the City boundaries. A North County Homeless Shelter would move the
Homeless from Atascadero City Center and perhaps away from all
neighborhoods. The TFS target is to receive a Grant in the amount of $1.2 to
$1.5 Million.

In parallel, TFS has been working with two advisors, each independent of the
other.
Cheryl Cole, Local Business Owner Cole Farm Trucking Firm and TFS Board Advisor
is pursuing a course with business associates to locate or build a facility as well as
congregants at ABC Church. Discussions with Cheryl were held throughout the last
two weeks and continued through this weekend. A follow-up telephone meeting
is set for Tuesday, election day.
Charles Fruit, Vice President, Bank of the SIERRAS in SLO and a resident of
Atascadero is also working with TFS and is also pursuing locating or building a
facility. Charlie has been active for over 20 years in building low-cost housing and
in establishing in SLO the Louise Martin Homeless Center. He has structured a
Monday Nov. 5 meeting at the Peoples’ Self-Help Housing offices including TFS
President Orlando Gallegos and the Senior management team of Peoples’ Self-
Help Housing to set an action plan to locate an existing facility or to build a
facility.
After the meeting, Charlie and Orlando will return to the SLO HQ of Bank of the
SIERRAS where Charlie and other officers will present a check to TFS. A photo
shoot will then take place.
Transitional Food & Shelter is enthused with the prospect of partnering with the
City of Atascadero for Phase 2 to provide housing, food and services in a safe
trusting environment to the Homeless in a facility that houses the Homeless away
from the Atascadero Downtown, our neighborhoods and hopefully outside the
city limits

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – City Manager’s Office
Declaration of a Shelter Crisis and Authorization
Of the City of Atascadero’s Participation in the
Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP)
RECOMMENDATION:
Council adopt the Draft Resolution declaring a shelter crisis in the City of Atascadero
pursuant to SB 850 (Chapter 48, Statutes of 2018 and Government Code §8698.2) and
authorizing the City’s participation in the newly established Homeless Emergency Aid
Program (HEAP).
DISCUSSION:
The State of California recently announced the availability of new funding to local cities
called the Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP). HEAP is a $500 million block
grant program designed to provide direct assistance to cities and counties to address
the homelessness crisis throughout California. HEAP is authorized by Senate Bill (SB)
850, which was signed into law by Governor Brown in June 2018.
HEAP funds are intended to provide funding to cities and Continuums of Care (CoC’s)
to provide immediate emergency assistance to people experiencing homelessness.
Eligible uses include, but are not limited to, homelessness prevention activities; criminal
justice diversion programs for homeless individuals with mental health needs;
establishing or expanding services meeting the needs of homeless youth or youth at
risk of homelessness; and emergency aid. The parameters of the program are
intentionally broad to allow local commun ities to be creative and craft programs that
meet the specific needs they have identified. All activities must directly benefit the target
population.
Based on the HEAP formula, the San Luis Obispo County CoC will receive $4,837,814.
The HEAP statute mandates that 50 percent of the awarded funds must be obligated by
January 1, 2020, and 100 percent of the funds must be expended by June 30, 2021.
Although some funds from the HEAP program can be spent in jurisdictions that have not
declared a shelter crisis, declaring a shelter crisis significantly expands the programs
available to receive support, including using funds for capital construction projects or
rental assistance and rental subsidies.
Page 67 of 136
ITEM NUMBER: C-2
DATE: 11/27/18
HEAP Grant Program Guidance requires all cities and counties within a CoC that wish
to receive HEAP funds to declare a shelter crisis. While the County serves as the
“Collaborative Applicant” for the local CoC, the County may only declare a shelter crisis
for the unincorporated areas of the county. Cities within the county must each
individually take action by the end of November to declare their own shelter crisis within
their respective jurisdictions in time for the County’s December 31, 2018 application
deadline to the State. If the City does not adopt a Resolution declaring a shelter crisis in
Atascadero, it is likely any funding made available from the HEAP program to the City
will be severely limited.
The 2017 San Luis Obispo County Homeless Census & Survey Comprehensive Report
identified 81 homeless people as residing in the City of Atascadero. The El Camino
Homeless Organization (ECHO) in Atascadero is one of only two homeless shelters
located in San Luis Obispo County and provides temporary, emergency shelter to
approximately 50 homeless individuals each night. The City is in receipt of a letter from
Wendy Lewis, President and CEO of ECHO, urging the City to adopt the Draft
Resolution declaring a shelter crisis, which would help secure HEAP funding to allow for
the possibility of expanding their programs and making capital improvements to the
facility.
In order to receive the shelter services provided by ECHO, certain established criteria
must be met by the homeless individuals or families. While the ECHO shelter currently
does have some nights of the week with availability, those seeking shelter at ECHO
must be eligible for overnight stays by meeting certain criteria , which include sobriety, a
desire to work towards home/employment, and no fighting. These criteria leave a
portion of the City’s homeless population ineligible for overnight stays at ECHO.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The exact amount of funding would be determined as part of the HEAP funding award
process.
ALTERNATIVE:
Provide additional direction to staff.

Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) Grant
Program Guidance – August 2018
The California Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council (HCFC) is pleased to announce
the launch of the Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP). HEAP is a $500 million block
grant program designed to provide direct assistance to cities and counties to address the
homelessness crisis throughout California. HEAP is authorized by Senate Bill (SB) 850, which
was signed into law by Governor Brown in June 2018. This overview provides a program
timeline with key milestones and delineates when stakeholders may expect program
deliverables.

Chapter 5, 50213 (c)]
$150,000,000 Large Cities (LCs) with a
population over 330,000
Eligible Uses
HEAP funds are intended to provide funding to Continuums of Care (COCs) and large cities
(LCs) with populations over 330,000, so they may provide immediate emergency assistance to
people experiencing homelessness. Eligible uses include, but are not limited to the following:
a. Homelessness prevention activities,
b. Criminal justice diversion programs for homeless individuals with mental health needs,
c. Establishing or expanding services meeting the needs of homeless youth or youth at
risk of homelessness, and
d. Emergency aid.
The parameters of the program are intentionally broad to allow local communities to be
creative and craft programs that meet the specific needs they have identified . All activities
must directly benefit the target population.
Expenditure Deadlines
The HEAP statute mandates that 50 percent of the awarded funds must be contractually
obligated by January 1, 2020. Additionally, 100 percent of the funds must be expended by
June 30, 2021. Unexpended funds must be returned to the Business, Consumer Services and

Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) – Program Guidance
capped at five percent of program funds, but this does not include staff costs directly related to
carrying out program activities.
Eligible Applicants
For the HEAP program, an Administrative Entity (AE) is the CoC . The CoC is the eligible
applicant for HEAP funding for the same geographic boundaries for which it administers
federal Department of Housing and Urban Development CoC funds. LCs with populations over
330,000 are also eligible applicants. Please refer to the California Department of Finance
website for population estimates. LC grant applicants will enter into a contract with BCSH and
administer their own funds separately, however, they will still be expected to collaborate with
their CoC.
Shelter Crisis Declaration
The shelter crisis declaration is required for all cities and counties within a CoC that wish to
receive HEAP funds, except for CoCs with fewer than 1,000 homeless people, based on the
2017 Point in Time count. Each incorporated city must declare a shelter crisis pursuant to
Chapter 7.8 (commencing with Section 8698) of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code .
Counties may declare a shelter crisis only for the unincorporated areas of the county. The
declaration is a resolution that must be adopted by the governing body of a jurisdiction or
jurisdictions within a CoC or LC. A sample resolution has been provided (see attachment A). If
a CoC has fewer than 1,000 homeless people, they may submit with their application a waiver
exempting all cities and the counties that are part of the CoC from declaring a shelter crisis .
Pre-Application Program Timeline

Application Process
HEAP applications will be received through an online portal, with supporting attachments
submitted via email. There are separate applications for CoCs and LCs. The applicant (CoC or
LC) must submit with the application proof that a resolution declaring a shelter crisis has been
approved for all jurisdictions receiving funds. Applicants must conduct a local collaborative
application process to determine how HEAP funds will be utilized in the C oC or LC. The
submitting entity must also demonstrate coordination with stakeholders, including but not
limited to, homeless service and housing providers, law enforcement, cities, and homeless
advocates whose general service area falls within the CoC or LC. The CoC or LC in turn may
make sub-awards to entities it determines are qualified to carry out the eligible activities and
operate within areas with approved shelter crisis status .
Special Notes
Collaboration
CoCs and LCs must demonstrate that a local collaborative effort has been conducted prior to
application submission. A collaborative process may include, but is not limited to, a public
meeting, regional homeless taskforce meeting, letters of support with signatures of
endorsement, an adopted homeless plan, and an adopted budget which includes HEAP funds .
Proof of a public process may include sign-in sheets, meeting minutes, agendas, and public
comment logs, among other items. It is important that a wide enough range of participants are
consulted as part of this process. Participants should include representatives of local homeless

service provider entities, law enforcement, behavioral health, and city and county public
officials.
Homeless Youth
The HEAP statute requires a minimum investment of five percent of all awards be set aside for
emergency assistance for homeless youth. The HEAP team encourages and expects local
CoCs and LCs to work with youth advocates and related stakeholders to consider the level of
investment that makes sense for this most vulnerable segment of the target population.

Atascadero City Council
Staff Report – Public Works Department
Downtown Watershed Plan
Project Status Update
RECOMMENDATION:
Council provide feedback on Draft Downtown Watershed Plan and authorize submittal
to Regional Water Quality Control Board for review.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF:
The primary purpose of the Downtown Watershed Plan is to meet Council goals for
economic development and downtown revitalization. Stormwater Post-Construction
Requirements (PCR’s) are a significant financial cost to downto wn property owners and
can have detrimental impacts on the ability to develop appropriately within the
downtown core. Approval of the Downtown Watershed Plan will allow developers the
flexibility to choose between meeting state stormwater requirements on -site or through
the payment of an in-lieu fee.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The City of Atascadero is a Phase II Permittee and subject to the requirements of the
State Water Control Board Order 2013 -0001-DWQ (Stormwater General Permit) and
the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Post-Construction
Requirements (PCR’s). As such, all development and redevelopment projects within
the City’s jurisdiction are required to comply with tiered post-construction requirements
– commonly comprised of on-site stormwater facilities that control runoff rates and
address water quality requirements. However, within the downtown urban core, City
policy encourages infill and increased de nsity that makes providing on-site stormwater
facilities difficult to construct due to available space.
RWQCB PCR’s allow for providing off-site stormwater facilities through an Alternative
(Off-Site) Compliance process where the developer obtains an in-lieu arrangement
and/or uses regional facilities. Alternative compliance is allowed under the following
circumstances: technical infeasibility; within an approved Watershed Plan; or within an
approved Urban Sustainability Area.

DATE: 11/27/18
If approved, the Downtown Watershed Plan would encompass approximately 65 acres
of land, stretching from State Route 101 east to Lewis Avenue, and from State Route
41 north to Rosario Avenue. All parcels within the Downtown Watershed area that are
not open space (Atascadero Creek) are zoned “Downtown” land use.
An approved Watershed Plan will allow developers within the plan area to be given the
option to meet PCR requirements either by paying in lieu fees or by implementing
traditional design measures. Use of off -site mitigation is not obligatory, but it is
expected that most property owners will choose the alternative in order to maximize
buildable space, especially those sites with zero setback requirements.
Downtown Watershed Plan Design:
In November 2017, Council authorized staff to award a contract with Rick Engineering
Company to develop a Downtown Watershed Plan. Since that time, City staff has been
working with Rick Engineering to develop the Draft Downtown Watershed Plan. The
development effort includes the following key components:
1. Data Collection and Compilation: Prepare mapping of existing storm drain
infrastructure from GIS data and field inspections.
2. Topographic mapping: Establish existing drainage flow patterns within the
downtown core to define watersheds and sub -watersheds. Topographic
mapping was provided from existing City aerial mapping.
3. Watershed Plan Development: Discussed in detail below.

The Draft Watershed Plan has been developed with the intention of meeting both the
RWQCB’s requirements and the specific needs of the City of Atascadero. The Draft
Watershed Plan provides flexibility for future development and redevelopment within
the City core while also potentially providing the funds to construct and maintain City-
owned centralized stormwater treatment facilities.
In order to establish baseline numbers for the sizing of potential stormwater treatment
projects, Public Works and Community Development staff worked together to identify
parcels with a greater than 50% chance of being developed or redeveloped within the
next 20 years.
Once the parcels most likely to be developed or redeveloped had been identified,
drainage patterns were analyzed to determine distinct Drainage Management Areas
(DMA’s). Six separate DMA’s were identified ranging in size from 4.3 to 14.4 acres.
Proposed stormwater facilities were sized and cost estimates produced
(for development of in-lieu fees) for potential projects needed to fulfill RWQCB
requirements These projects are conceptual, but have been shown to provide
treatment capacity and volume to provide offsite mitigation for all identified parcels
within the downtown area. The projects include the following:
1. SCM 3: A combination of Low-Impact Development (LID) stormwater treatment
features within the El Camino Real right-of-way between Traffic Way and
Rosario Avenue. Possible improvements could include pervious concrete
diagonal parking areas, bioretention planters, parkway landscaping, etc. The
improvements would be designed in conjunction with the ongoing Downtown
Page 78 of 136
ITEM NUMBER: C-3
DATE: 11/27/18
Traffic Calming Project. While the original calculations were for the section north
of Traffic Way, LID features could be implemented throughout the full length of
the traffic calming project, providing additional stormwater mitigation for future
development projects.
2. SCM 4: Sunken Gardens Infiltration Vault/Chamber system. Stormwater on
nearly 15 acres of the downtown core is currently captured in an underground
storm drain system beneath Palma Avenue that discharges directly to
Atascadero Creek. By constructing an underground infiltrative chamber system
that intercepts a portion of this flow and directs it beneath the Sunken Gardens
turf, stormwater treatment and retention capacity could be realized with very little
visual ramifications beyond temporary construction impacts. Furthermore, trash
and debris from downtown areas that get flushed into this storm drain system will
be filtered out by a new interceptor screen device that allows for convenient
removal – whereby providing compliance with the new trash amendment.
Analysis:
The primary purpose of the Downtown Watershed Plan is to meet Council goals for
economic development and downtown revitalization. Stormwater PCR’s are a
significant financial cost to downtown property owners and can have detrimental
impacts on the ability to develop appropriately withi n the downtown core. By providing
the ability to mitigate stormwater requirements offsite , multiple benefits are realized as
discussed below.
Benefits to property owners:
1. Increased parcel density – If stormwater mitigation is required on-site, a portion
of the property must be dedicated to construction of PCR’s. While some
property owners may prefer to provide LID features on site as part of the design,
offsite mitigation allows for the possibility of full parcel development by
maximizing use of the site for buildings, parking, etc. instead of setting aside a
portion for PCR’s.
2. Lowered mitigation costs – By combining individual PCR’s into a single regional
PCR, overall costs to property owners are lowered by gaining construction
efficiencies.
3. Removal of ongoing maintenance responsibilities – Under the Downtown
W atershed Plan, property owners electing for offsite mitigation pay a single in-
lieu fee during permitting that funds construction and ongoing maintenance of
regional facilities. If an individual PCR is constructed on-site, the property owner
will be responsible for ongoing annual maintenance and operations costs in
perpetuity.
Benefits to City and residents:
1. City staff time savings – When individual PCR’s are constructed on-site, the City
is required by the Stormwater General Permit to monitor and enforce annual
maintenance and operations requirements. For each PCR, staff sends out
Page 79 of 136
ITEM NUMBER: C-3
DATE: 11/27/18
letters to property owners requiring annual inspections and tracks verifications of
maintenance. By operating one or two municipal PCR’s, City staff can track and
self-perform maintenance operations (funded through in -lieu fees).
2. Trash Capture – As has been discussed regarding the new requirements of the
Trash Amendment, the City will now be required to either p rovide full trash
capture devices or demonstrate equivalency through other measures. In
general, City staff at the direction of Council, has elected to capture equivalent
trash loads through alternative measures; however, installing a large regional
system (such as SCM 4) would allow for an in-line trash capture system. This
system would meet the requirements for Full Trash Capture for the contributing
area, significantly lowering time and expenses related to other trash collection
activities.
General Benefits to residents
1. Fits with existing infrastructure – The proposed SCM’s 3 and 4 can both utilize
existing improvements and infrastructure to achieve design goals. In particular,
existing underground storm drain infrastructure could be easily modified to route
stormwater into the proposed SCM 4 underground chamber system at Sunken
Gardens without significant impacts within the public street. Construction would
be confined to the turf area on the City Hall side of the fountain while providing
public use of the other portions of the park, including sidewalks, for special
events that may occur during construction.
2. Aesthetic benefits within the downtown area – A common comment from
residents participating in both the Downtown Traffic Calming and El Camino
Corridor public workshops has been a desire for additional street trees and
general “greening” of the El Camino Real corridor. While SCM 4 has little visual
impact after construction (turf would be reinstalled over the chamber system),
SCM 3 would be designed to utilize design elements of the proposed downtown
traffic calming project (tree wells, pervious pavers, etc.) as well as additional
street trees and LID landscape features where appropriate.
3. Groundwater Recharge – During large storm events, SCM’s 3 and 4 have the
combined design capacity of 82,000 cubic feet (615,000 gallons) of stormwater.
Under current conditions, this stormwater is conveyed to Atascadero Creek then
to the Salinas River and eventually to the ocean. Some of the water is infiltrat ed
into the Atascadero groundwater subbasin, but a majority of the water will be lost
when the rivers are running. With these SCM’s in place, and given the soil types
within the downtown area, it is expected that nearly 100% of the storage capacity
will be infiltrated directly into the Atascadero Groundwater Sub-Basin.
4. Environmental Benefits – Along with Groundwater Recharge, infiltration through
soil media does provide stormwater treatment and keeps pollutants out of the
creeks and rivers. Treatment efficacy is dependent upon soils and other factors,
but any treatment of pollutants is preferable to direct stream discharge.

Design Considerations
City staff has considered difficulties that may be expected with implementation of
SCM’s, and has identified cost and public impact as the most significant potential
issues. Cost considerations are discussed further under Fiscal Impact.
In consideration of public concerns, any implemented SCM’s will need to be carefully
planned and constructed to minimize impacts to downtown business owners and
activities, especially during special events. Public Works staff will work closely with
Deputy City Manager, Banish during both design and construction to minimize delays
and impacts to regularly scheduled events. For reference, it is expected that
construction of SCM 4 could be limited to 1-2 months of active construction, with
several additional months of limited use of a portion of Sunken Gardens to allow sod to
re-establish. Upon completion of the project, impacts are expected to be limited to
annual maintenance activities.
Cost Considerations
The primary costs associated with the Watershed Plan would be planning, design,
construction, operations and maintenance, and administration of the stormwater
mitigation projects (SCM’s 3 and 4). Rick Engineering estimated all-inclusive costs of
approximately $1.8 million for the two projects, with approximately $1 million for
construction and design, and $800,000 for ongoing operations and maintenance (20
years).
While it is anticipated that a large portion of these costs could be recouped over time
through in-lieu fees, the City would need to obtain funds for project construction.
Construction of centralized stormwater treatment projects can be deferred for up to
three years after development of parcels utilizing the projects for offsite mitigation, but it
is not anticipated that this will provide a significant level of funds.
It is possible to apply for grant funding through the Proposition 1 Stormwater Grant
Program. In order to be considered for grant funding, proposed projects must be
included in an approved Regional Stormwater Resources Plan. Currently, staff is
working closely with the County of San Luis Obispo and other local agencies as they
develop the San Luis Obispo County Stormwater Resource Plan. Both of the proposed
SCM downtown projects were included on the projects list, and the Sunken Gardens
Stormwater Capture project (SCM 4) is ranked as the top project within the Salinas
River Watershed per the updated project ranking list, dated June 20, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Should the Downtown Watershed Plan be approved by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board and adopted by Council, there is no immediate fiscal impact. The
Watershed Plan only provides the framework under which the City can approve offsite
stormwater mitigation for owners wishing to develop or redevelop their properties within
the downtown area.

ALTERNATIVES:
Council could elect to reject the Downtown Watershed Plan as submitted, or d irect staff
to revise it prior to submittal to the RWQCB. Staff does not recommend either of these
alternatives since it is believed the current Watershed Plan has addressed the goals of
the project and meets the requirements of the RWQCB for approval. Furthermore, the
Downtown Watershed Plan can assist with the City Council in reaching its goals of
economic development and downtown revitalization.
