B. HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS
1. Report on Amapoa-Tecorida Drainage Moratorium
Mr. Warden reviewed the memo which discussed the moratorium
problem and provided several alternate solutions. The Staff recom-
mended including the entire drainage area in an assessment district
and preparation of a drainage study with cost estimates to establish
drainage solutions with costs to be borne by property owners of the
assessment district. It was also recommended that the moratorium be
retained in its present form until completion of the recommended items.
Comments were heard from John Defumo, Roger Algee, Mel Biging,
Ed Chidlaw, Frank Balshun, Jack Stinchfield, Shirley Summers, Bert
Vangorse, Gary Daniel, and Dave Holton. Many of the speakers were
property owners in the area and all favored lifting the moratorium
with the City, State or County rectifying the drainage problem.
Council members discussed the matter with Mayor Wilkins favoring
Alternate #2 of the memo which would rescind the moratorium and simul-
taneously adopt development standards to cope with run-off conditions.
Councilman Highland felt that the drainage problem still needed to be
resolved. Councilman Nelson suggested contacting the State and County
to see if they would help correct the drainage problem"since they
allegedly had created it.
MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved that Council adopt an ordinance
which rescinds the moratorium, but simultaneously replace it
' with certain development standards intended to minimize the
impacts to individual structures; and to initiate a par-
ticipation program to contribute to an area wide solution to
the problem; the program to include property owners, adjacent
property owners, the State, County and City. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Mackey.
There was further discussion on the motion with an agreement
reached that the motion should be simplified by breaking this motion
into separate parts.
' Councilman Nelson withdrew his motion and Councilman Mackey
her second.

property owners, the State, the County and the City. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Mackey and unanimously
carried.
There was further discussion with some property owners in the
area feeling that they should not have to bear the costs ,simply
because they have property in the affected area; they felt that the
City as a whole should take part in correcting the situation.
Mr. Warden explained briefly about assessment district proceedings
and that any assessment can only be applied against benefited pro-
perties.

necessary street work; and adjacent property owners to work toward

and authorize the City Manager to sign the documents subject
to approval of the City Attorney. The motion was seconded

C. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
None
D. NEW BUSINESS
1. Consideration of request for additional custodian and
extending lawn maintenance agreement
Mr. Warden explained the manning and work levels required for
maintenance of the Zoo and Atascadero Lake Park area. In order to
allow the three Parks and Zoo maintenance people more time to accom-
plish landscaping and preventative maintenance, he suggested extending
the lawn maintenance and watering contract to include all City areas.
Presently budgeted funds are sufficient to extend this contract for
the rest of the fiscal year.
' An additional full-time custodian is aiso being requested. This
person will work some weekends and nights and be present to monitor
Rotunda Room parties to assure proper clean-up and protection of
facilities. Damage to the building facilities and thefts of equipment
' have occurred during weekends or after normal working hours. Exces-
sive damage, spillage of food and liquor and general disregard for
protecting the facility has occurred during periods of rental for

custodian in the Public Works Department. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Nelsonandunanimously carried by

1. City Council
(a) Councilman Mackey requested that General Plan amendment
hearings not be held on May 11th as she and Mayor
Wilkins will be out of town. Other Councilmen had conflicts on other
meeting dates, so it was decided to go ahead with the May 11th hearings.
Mayor Wilkins asked if Council would agree to changing the budget
hearing from June 6th to June 13th, however, Councilman Nelson had a
' problem with that date. The budget hearing date was left for June 6th.
2. City Attorney
Mr. Grimes had nothing to report.
3. City Manager
(a) Mr. Warden reviewed the .meeting he and Skip Joannes
had with the personnel from Atascadero State Hospital
' and the AYA regarding use of 20 acres of hospital property., The
Hospital representative indicated their favorable consideration, as
well as that of personnel from the Sacramento office, for converting
the five year AYA lease to a twenty year lease with the City. The
short-term lease held by the AYA would not allow time for recovery of
capital improvement costs on the property. The Council will be pro-
vided with more information in the future.
(b) Mr. Warden advised that the terms of four Planning
Commissioners were expiring on July 31st. He asked
' Council as to how they wished to proceed. Council wanted to advertise

sioners their desires for reappointment.

Improvement Program and hoped to have it to the
