There being no discussion, the Consent Calendar was accepted. MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 9, 1981 MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved for the acceptance of the Consent Calendar . The motion was seconded by Councilman Stover and unanimously carried by roll call _vote. B. HEARINGS, APPEARANCES AND REPORTS 1. Appeal of fire sprinkler requirements, southeast corner of Traffic Way and Via, Atascadero Industrial Center (V. ' Lavorgna) Larry Stevens reviewed the project which involves the repair and remodeling of an existing industrial building. . He stated that while the Uniform Building Code does not require an automatic sprinkler sys- tem in the building, the Uniform Fire Code does allow the City to im- pose this requirement. The Fire Chief has made a determination that this building presents a special hazard and, therefore, recommended the sprinkler system requirement as a part of the building permit pro- cess. Robert Lilley, attorney representing the applicant, stated that the present plans for remodeling meet or exceed the requirements of ' the Uniform Building Code; the costs of a sprinkler system are too high; the proposed use of the building is not public oriented as is Lucky' s or the Adobe Plaza; and the Fire Chief' s reasoning, inadequate ' manpower , for imposing the sprinkler system is not relevant under the law and should not be a consideration passed on to the owner/builder to resolve. Comments in support of the aPPeal were heard from Mr . Haynes, Mr . Haig and a contractor for the project. During discussion, Council members noted that there did not seem to be enough justification for requiring the installation of a fire sprinkler system under the Fire Code provisions and under the analysis' ' provided during the building permit review process. MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved that the appeal be upheld. The motion was seconded by Councilman Stover and carried with Councilman Mackey voting no. Mr . Warden noted that since Proposition 13 , revenues from property taxes do not support services such as fire and police. Therefore cities, in attempting to balance the level of services with the level of revenues, are looking at some of the basic funding assumptions that ' have been made in meeting protection/fire suppression costs brought about by new development or new occupants on an existing service structure. Accordingly, consideration is being given to shifting some of the burden of fire prevention/suppression through warning alarms, ' sprinkler systems or other approaches. Recommendations for these types of regulations will be coming to Council in the near future. Report regarding Amapoa-Tecorida drainage moratorium study Mr. Warden reviewed some of the recommendations made by the Public Works Director . The Public Works Director was recommending following 2 1 MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 9, 1981 three phases to help solve the drainage problems in the Amapoa ' Tecorida area. Phase I would include enacting an ordinance replacing the moratorium with development and flood hazard standards, creation of a flood hazard overlay zone permit and processing requirements, and ' construction standards. Phase II would be the design of flood control facilities to allow conveyance of flood waters and Phase III would be to enact an assessment district of some type to implement the recom- mended drainage improvements. It is presently estimated that the -to- tal project cost would be $844,181. Larry McPherson explained the conclusions reached in the technical report and recommendations. He stated that any development standards would have to be applied on a case by case basis since there are so many variations in drainage problem impacts upon different lots. It was noted that there may be some lots in the area that will never be able to be developed. Comments were heard from John Befumo and James Leech who are property owners in the area. Herb LaPrade asked several questions to which Mr . McPherson responded. ' Council members discussed the matter and generally agreed that they would like to go ahead with Phase I at this time. MOTION: Councilman Highland moved that Council adopt the concept outlined in the memorandum and instruct Staff to proceed. ' The motion was seconded by Councilman Mackey and unanimously carried. 3. Finance Director Departmental Report ' The Finance Departmental Report was given by Ralph Dowell. He re- viewed the first quarter ' s activities, July through September . These included investment programs, audits, budget, reserves, special funds, programs such as life insurance and deferred compensation, workmen' s compensation claims and the progress of the data processing, account- ing, payroll and word processing programs since the computer was in- stalled. C. UNFINISHED BUSINESS ' 1. Resolution No. 35-81 setting forth procedures for committee, commission and board selections ' Mr . Warden stated that this resolution resulted from a previous Council determination for selection of board and commission members. ' He asked Council to note Section 2, Recruitment and Eligibility, which requires that applicants be electors of the City. This means that they have to be registered voters in order to apply and serve. He asked Council if they wished to include this as a requirement or ' change it to include residents or any other criteria they might sug- gest. Council decided to leave it as it is. ' MOTION: Councilman Mackey moved that Resolution No. 35-81 be read by title only. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nelson and unanimously carried. 3 i MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 9, 1981 Mayor Wilkins read Resolution No. 35-81 by title only. ' MOTION: Councilman Mackey moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 35-81. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nelson and unanimously carried by roll call vote. 2. Ordinance No. 45 setting the general municipal election date on the same-day as the statewide direct primary election; the 1 first Tuesday after the first Monday in June of even numbered years first reading Mr . Warden stated that the County is still unsure whether they will have an election in April or not; it is possible they may have one in March. He has discussed this matter with the City Manager of Paso Robles with the thought of joining with them in the April elec- tion to save costs. At this time he is unsure of the costs of a June VS. an April election. He will continue to investigate this alterna- tive, however , in the meantime he suggested that Council go ahead with the first reading of this ordinance. He hopes to have more definitive information at the next Council meeting. The Council will need to have the ordinance passed before the first meeting in December if they decide not to hold the election in April. MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved that Ordinance No. 45 be read by ' title only. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mackey and unanimously carried. Mayor Wilkins read Ordinance No. 45 by title only. ' MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved that this constitute the first reading of Ordinance No. 45. The motion was seconded by ' Councilman Mackey and unanimously carried by roll call vote. 3. Ordinance No. 44 establishing a Board of Appeals - second reading MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved that Ordinance No. 44 be read by title only. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mackey and ' unanimously carried. Mayor Wilkins read Ordinance No. 44 by title only. ' MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved that this constitute the second reading of Ordinance No. 44 and that it be adopted. The mo- tion was seconded by Councilman Mackey and unanimously carried by roll call vote. Mr . Warden stated that this ordinance will go into effect in ' thirty days at which time Council will have to consider the composi- tion of the Board. 4 MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 9, 1981 4. Consideration of Balboa Road widening - continued from 10-26-81 Councilman Mackey stated that Mr . McPherson had removed some of the ribbons from the trees scheduled to be eliminated and she was sat- isfied with the widening project. MOTION: Councilman Mackey moved that Council approve continuing - with ' the Balboa Road widening project. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nelson and unanimously carried. D. NEW BUSINESS 1. Consideration of San Luis Obispo County Law Enforcement In- ter-Agency Agreement for Drug Task Force Mr . Warden stated that Council had already approved the funding of this Agreement. All the cities in the County are participating in the ' program. MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved that the City enter into the agree- ment. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mackey and unanimously carried. 2. Consideration of transfer of funds for data processing pro- grams Mr . Warden reviewed the memorandum which requested a transfer of ' $15,810.00 for programs, training and equipment. He stated that the City was ahead of schedule in implementing the programs because things have gone so smoothly. It is hoped that other cities will join Atas- ' cadero in the use of the software and the City will receive some of its investment back. MOTION: Councilman Mackey moved for the approval of transferring $15,810 from Contingency Reserve for the funding of addition- al computer programs. The motion was seconded by Councilman Stover and unanimously carried by roll call vote. E. INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION AND/OR ACTION ' 1.
