Appeal of Jack E. ,Bray from Focused Environmental Impact Determination on Zauft Conditional Use Permit ED78-197 Mr. Warden stated that since the Planning Commission had con- sidered this matter, additional information had been received from the applicant which would answer the EIR issues and negate the appeal. The matter would then be referred back to the planning process for a _conditional use permit. Ellen Rognas fromtheCounty Environmental Coordinator' s office reviewed the additional information that answered the various EIR questions. Councilman Highland wondered if an EIR was necessary at this point since the conditions could be placed on the Conditional Use Permit. MOTION: Councilman Highland moved that Project ED78-197 be given a negative declaration. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nelson and unanimously carried. MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting December 10 , 1979 Page Two Councilman Highland noted that his motion does not mean that the Council approves the project or that it is going to be approved; it still has to go through the Planning Commission and City Council through the Conditional Use Permit process which includes public hearings. Comments in opposition to the proposed racquet ball/health club were expressed by Stephanie Hughes, Rick Webber, Louie Borjes, Maynard Farnsworth, and others. Comments in favor of the project were provided by Richard Allen and Jack Bray. 2. Acceptance of Parcel Map AT 78-235, Darnal Larry Red of the County Subdivision Review Section reviewed this matter.

Mr. Warden requested that approval include adoption of Resolu- tion No. 18-79 accepting the 'ten foot widening as a part of the City road system. Councilman Highland amended his motion to include adoption of Resolution No. 18-79. The amendment was accepted by Councilman Nelson and the motion was unanimously carried. 3 .

MOTION: Councilman Nelson moved for approval of Parcel Map AT 77-233 . The motion was seconded by Councilman Highland and unanimously carried. 4 . CO 78-125, West-Stewart, extension of time request Larry Red reviewed this item and noted that the Subdivision Review Board had recommended denial of an extension because the minimum lot size did not comply with the ,General Plan. The Planning Commission, however, had recommended granting the extension since the applicant, had made substantial progress towards completion of the Final Map. MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting December 10, 1979 Page Three There was considerable discussion on this matter with Council- man Highland not favoring the extension. He did not feel that he could approve the project when it got to the permit stage. MOTION: Councilman Highland moved that the extension be denied. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nelson.' There was further discussion with comments from Acting City Attorney Fred Metzger. He felt that the Council had approved similar time extensions and should remain consistent. Mayor Wilkins was in favor of at least giving the applicant a six month extension. Councilman Nelson withdrew his second and Councilman Mackey seconded the motion. It was carried with Councilman Nelson and Mayor Wilkins voting no. 5. AL 79-01, Iverson/Beckwith Bray, lot line adjustment Mr. Red reviewed this project.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Nelson and unanimously carried. 6. Public hearing on application of James Watson for a Tentative Tract Map #770 to allow a subdivision of a 4 .47 acre site into 3 parcels, Atascadero Road. Larry Red reviewed the project and stated that it had been approved by the Subdivision Review Board with the conditions listed in their minutes of October 3 , 1979 which included road improvement requirements. The applicant had requested exception to the road improvement requirements. The Planning Commission, at their meeting of November 19, 1979, approved the Subdivision Review Board' s con- ditions including the road requirements. Robert Hilliard, representing the applicant, did not feel the road improvements were necessary since no increase in traffic was likely because very few lots in that area can be split. MOTION: Councilman Highland moved that Council endorse the recd mendation of the Planning Commission for General Plan consistency and approval of the project in accor- MINUTES ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting December 10, 1979 Page Four dance with the Subdivision Review Board meeting minutes of October 3, 1979, with deletion of condition number 1 under Streets. Mr. Hilliard also requested deleting number 11 under Fire Protection, installation of a fire hydrant, and number 14 under Design regarding street names for the road. There was further dis- cussion about the necessity for the fire hydrant and the feeling on the part of Council that they would like recommendations from the Fire Department on this requirement. Councilman Highland amended his motion to include the deletion of items 11 and 14. The motion was seconded by Mayor Wilkins. Councilman Highland amended his motion to include the provision that approval be subject to the review of the Fire Chief to assure that proper fire protection is afforded. The amendment was accepted by Mayor Wilkins and the motion carried unanimously. 7. Public hearing on application of George Molina for a Tentative Parcel Map (CO 79-33) to allow a subdivision of a 1. 5 acre site into two parcels, Traffic Way Mr. Red reviewed this project. The Subdivision Review Board, at their meeting of November 7 , 1979, had recommended a finding of General Plan consistency and approval subject to the conditions and road improvements specified. The Planning Commission concurred in this recommendation. Mr. Molina objected to the curb, gutter and sidewalk improve- ments , stating that they should not have to be constructed until a building permit was applied for. Mr. Red reviewed the provisions for curb, gutters and side- walks and stated that the applicant had not requested an exception to this condition to the Engineering Department, therefore, no recommendations were made regarding elimination of this condition. Councilman Highland felt that these requirements could be built into the building permit process and was in favor of elimi- nating them at this time. MOTION: Councilman Highland moved for approval of the Tentative Map subject -to the conditions of the Subdivision Review Board meeting minutes dated November 7, 1979, with con- ditions 1, 2, 4 through 14 and eliminating condition 3.

Mr. Hilliard advised that his client had surveyed the property and determined that they could comply with this addi- tional condition. MOTION: Councilman Highland moved for approval of the Tentative Map subject to conditions 1-13 of the Subdivision Review Board meeting minutes dated November 7, 1979 as amended by the Atascadero Planning Commission.

Appearance of Howard Marohn concerning City acquisition of property for parking purposes Mr. Marohn addressed the Council' s decision to explore the purchase of property across from the Administration Building on MINUTES -- ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting December 10, 1979 Page Six East Mall for parking purposes. He felt that such a large expen- diture should receive more discussion. He reviewed alternatives to purchase of the property for parking and suggested consideration be given to using portions of the Sunken Gardens and yard area in front of the Administration Building. He also suggested contacting the school district ,to determine their interest in purchasing the property with the City. Mr. Warden advised Mr. Marohn that he had already contacted the school district relative to their interest in a joint venture with the City and they had responded that they would like more information as to costs. The Council authorized an appraisal of the property which will answer this question. He reminded the Council that this matter had been brought to the Council at a regular meeting and, after discussion, referred to the Planning Commission who in turn discussed the matter at a regular meeting and recommended that the parking lot use was consistent with the General Plan. They recommended acquisition. The matter was further discussed at another Council meeting with direction given to the City Manager to secure two appraisals: Councilman Mackey stated that the property had long been desirable as a part of the Administration Building and she advised Mr. Marohn that a grant was being sought for its purchase Council was -adamently against any use of the Sunken Gardens or Administration Building grounds for a parking lot. 11. Appearance of Mike Lucas regarding the Atascadero Emblem Contest Mr. Lucas passed around three final drawings selected by the Council committee to screen the finalists. Council reviewed and selected the drawing depicting the Administration Building surrounded by a wreath of cattails drawn by Ken Gouff of. Atascadero.

MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting December 10, 1979 Page Seven 2 . Consideration of Councilman Mackey's committee proposals Councilman, Mackey discussed her suggestions establishing various committees. As to the .Parking Committee: Mayor Wilkins stated that the Chamber of Commerce is in the process of revitalizing their parking committee. As to the Park and Recreation Committee: Mayor Wilkins suggested that Councilman Mackey contact the Zoological Society to find out if they have suggestions as to the needs of the Zoo. As to the Beautification Committee: Mayor Wilkins did not feel that the Council needed to appoint a committee on this matter; if a group of citizens wished to make recommendations as to beauti- fication, they could do so. As to the Litter Committee: Council felt that service clubs might wish to provide containers for various places throughout the City. As to the Emergency Services Committee There was discussion on this with Mayor Wilkins stating that the cities in the County were in the process of developing a joint effort to arrive at coor- dinated emergency plans. As to the Alternative Energy Committee: Council felt that individuals could look into this themselves for their own homes; after a building department is established there may be some oppor- tunity for researching funding sources.

City Council (a) Councilman Mackey stated that the City of Morro Bay is attempting to change the name of Atascadero State Beach in Morro Bay to Morro Bay State Beach. She said that that property was originally purchase by E. G. Lewis and, because of its historical nature, the name should remain Atascadero State Beach. She requested Council authorization to make a presentattion in opposition to the name change at the hearings on this matter. MOTION: Councilman Highland moved that Councilman Mackey be authorized to speak at the hearings in opposition to the name change for Atascadero State Beach. The motion was seconded by Councilman Nelson and unani- mously carried. (b) Councilman Nelson stated that he had received ques- tions from merchants about securing business licenses. Mr. Warden said that people need to get their licenses from the County; the present ordinance is regulatory rather than revenue generating.- The County supposedly receives only what it costs to process the license. The City will take over administering the business license tax ordinance in July, 1980. (c) Councilman Stover reported that during a Council of Governments meeting a ride-sahring program had been discussed and will be implemented for the Atascadero area. (d) Mayor Wilkins stated that he felt the City should take definite action against the revenue limitation initiative which is being circulated in Atascadero. Fred Metzger, . Acting City Attorney, was of the opinion that the ordinance is MINUTES - ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting December 10, 1979 Page Nine illegal and suggested that the City seek declaratory relief action from the courts to enjoin circulation of the petition. There was considerable discussion as to the merits of having the courts determine the validity of the ordinance at this time or after the issue has been presented on the ballot and voted for. MOTION Councilman Stover moved that Council take action to determine the validity of the ordinance at this time. The motion was seconded by Councilman Highland and carried with Councilmen Mackey and Nelson voting no. 2. City Attorney Mr. Metzger had nothing to report 3. City Manager (a) Mr. Warden advised that the City Offices were relocating in the Administration Building to Rooms 201-203.

Acceptance of Parcel Map AT 78-143 Hendrix, et al. The Planning Commission recommends acceptance of the Final Map. 2 . Time Extension for CO 78-46 - Holmes (Hilliard) The Planning Commission recommends granting a time extension of one year. 3. Time Extension for CO 78-98 - Stinchfield (Stewart) . The Planning Commission recommends granting a time extension of one year. 4. Variance to Condominium Moratorium for Tentative Tract No. 8661 Lenzi/Morris., ` Gannage (Maddalena) . The Planning Commission recommends that the variance not be granted since the applicant was unable to satisfy all of the mandated Findings set forth in the moratorium ordinance. The appli- cants contended that they were substantially through the approval process; that a substantial investment had been made in the project including fees paid to the County, preparation of engineering plans; and various bond agreements; and, that the moratorium would adversely affect their financing, commitment. Planning Commission discussion centered on when the applicants decided to change the project from an apartment to a condominium; on the reasons that the Commission previously supported the moratorium; on the desirability of having condominium projects comply with any requirements that would result from the soon-to-be completed study; and, on the inability of the . applicants to satisfactorily demonstrate how this particular project was different from other projects affected by the moratorium. The Planning Commission discussion and action can be summarized by the following Findings a. The strict application of the provisions of the moratorium to this particular condominium project may result in some , Memorandum - Atascadero City Council December 20, 1979 Page Two difficulties or hardships but. these seem necessary because of the nature of the problem resulting in the adoption of the moratorium and the need to complete ongoing studies. b. There are no exceptional circumstances or conditions applicable to this condominium project that do not apply to other condominium projects that are at similar or more advanced stages. C. The granting of the variance for this condominium project would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare.

Zoning: A-1-22: "Light Agriculture" (22 acre minimum) General Plan: 1978 Atascadero Area General Plan: "Low Density Single Family Residential" (22 acre minimum without sewer service) COMMENTS The subject tentative map was to expire on December 19, 1979. On October 30, 1979, the applicant's engineer requested an extension of time. A review of this request shows that the Zoning District and General Plan remains basically unchanged at this time. The Lot Division Ordinance allows a 12 month time extension to be granted to a maximum of 2 years. RECOMMENDATION Although it appears the City Planning Commission and City Council will take final action on this project, the Subdivision Review Board may still take action on this matter. Any action taken will likely constitute an informal recommendation to the City Council. It should be noted this staff report and the recommendations are based on County policy, procedure, and ordinances. After review and discussion of Tentative Parcel Map CO 78-46, the Subdivision Review Board recommends to the City Council that a one- year extension be granted to December 19, 1980, subject to the original conditions of approval as set forth in the minutes of the Subdivision Review Board meeting dated December 6, 1978. DISCUSSION Applicant's engineer attended the meeting. The Subdivision Review Board unanimously adopted the preliminary report as amended. •� 1 �._ • ,fid 1�►`� � '•• �� mss— ��� 1.� �����`� NOW- Mal -11*0 Ila ArMIN � •_ I ® 11 ° 01 - zt��/� Ln .O y ti �\ tea,0 > tl �) e ' r"a rn ry r o ml "YxL, i r m) Ort Ov- m Dtn FAz „A L = om Ip 1 � � N Lp V.

The site is located along Venado Avenue, City of Atascadero. Zoning: R-A: "Suburban Residential" (20,000 sq. ft. lot size) General Plan: 1978 Atascadero General Plan: "Low Density Single Family" (11-2 acre minimum) COMMENTS The subject Tentative Map was to expire on November 27, 1979. On November 5, 1979, the applicant's engineer requested an extension of time. The applicant's engineer stated the reason for the extension was because of "extensive improvement design and construction." A review of records indicates that only check prints have been submitted.

December 14 1979 RE: TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 866, 3750 El Camino Real, Lenzi, Morris, Gannage (Maddalena) REQUEST: Variance to Ordinance No. 12 creating a moratorium on approvals for condominium uses , condominium subdivisions , and condominium conversions. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: The applicants propose an air space condominium subdivision on the 2,1-acre site for the purpose of constructing 25 multiple family residential units. The site is located on the southerly side of E1 Camino Real between San Anselmo and San Benito. Zoning: R-4-B-2-Dl General Plan: "High Density Multiple Family" STATUS OF PROJECT: The project was issued a Negative Declaration on March 7, 1977 and was conditionally approved under the departmental review process on July 13, 1978. That approval was extended for six months until January 13, 1980 at the applicant' s request. Structural plans were filed on September 5 , 1979 for plan check and were returned to the architect for corrections approximately three weeks ago. The tentative map application was submitted on November 6 , 1979 but was returned to the applicant because of the moratorium. County Planning Staff has indicated that the following factors affect proceeding with the project: There is no evidence that certain conditions that must be compiled with prior to issuance of permits have been accomplished. These include submission and approval of certain engineering plans (grading, drainage, street improvement, etc. ) and approval of building plans by the Fire Department. - It is unlikely that the applicant can obtain building permits and reach a satisfactory stage of construction (completion of foundation and rough framing)prior to the expiration of the time extension. While an additional six month extension could be applied for, the change in the project from an apartment to a condominium might be a reason for denial of another time extension. TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 866 December 14 , 1979 Page Two - The project was never indicated to be a condominium at any time and this change would necessitate reconsideration of the project under the departmental review procedure. Further- more, it was indicated that the application would probably be elevated to a hearing process (similar to a Conditional Use Permit) since this can be done at the discretion of the County Planning Staff. - The tentative map would not be accepted for filing as long as the moratorium remained in effect and would not have been processed because of the change in project status (apartment to condominium) and the associated time extension/departmental review situation. STATUS OF MORATORIUM: The moratorium was adopted as an urgency matter on November 14 , 1979 and remains in effect for 120 days until March 14 , 1980 unless extended. Section 6 makes provision for granting a variance to the moratorium if the following findings can be established: 1. That strict application of the provisions of the, moratorium to a particular condominium project would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships inconsistent with the general purposes and intent of the moratorium. 2 . That there are exceptional circumstances or conditions appli- cable to the condominium project that do not generally apply to the other projects covered by this moratorium. 3. That the granting of a variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. The Planning Commission would recommend an action by City Council based upon these findings. The study, including a draft ordinance, for consideration by the Planning Commission is tentatively scheduled for the meeting of January 7 and it seems probable that the entire process including adoption of an appropriate ordinance can be completed long before expiration of the moratorium. DISCUSSION: There does not appear to be substantive reason to grant a variance from the provisions of the condominium moratorium. While money has been expended for various County .fees and engineering/ design costs, these have been on the basis of an apartment project and the project has always been so represented (until November 1979) before TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 866 December 14, 1979 Page Three public agencies. In fact, the project can proceed on that basis and obtain permits and be constructed. Most of the money expended would have been expended whether or not the project was an apartment or a condominium. Changes in the lending market have apparently resulted in a decision to change the nature of the project from an apartment to a condominium and this necessitates additional public review (i.e. , tract map, resubmittal for departmental review, etc. ) which cannot be accommodated in the time frame set forth for the financing commitment. Many projects are adversely affected by the lack of availability of suit- able financing. While the project appears to be well designed, in compliance with current development standards, and would be consistent with the general plan now under consideration, there is no way to ascertain its degree of compatibility with procedural or other regulations that would result from the current condominium study. It should also be pointed out that this study should be completed within the very near future. It is also likely that there are a number of similar projects at a similar, or even more advanced, stage of review which would demand similar favorable treatment for their projects. Approval of the request could cast doubt about the urgency expressed by the adoption of the moratorium. Typically, consideration of variance requests should be based upon certain special or unique circumstances applicable almost exclusively to the characteristics of a particular project (i.e. , unusual topo- graphy making setbacks impractical, substantial physical, improvements already completed, etc. ) . Economic and financial factors should not be considered acceptable under the hardship criterion and certainly there is no "vested right" established for this project as a condo- minium. The project should properly follow the procedures set forth in existing regulations as temporarily modified by the moratorium. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that ,the variance not be granted. ACTION: The Planning Commission should make an appropriate motion setting forth its Findings to approve (or deny) the request as an advisory recommendation for transmittal to City Council. LAWRENCE STEVENS Consultant/ Planning Director RECEIVED DEC 7 1979 November 28, 1979 Atascadero City Planning Commission 6501 Lewis Avenue Atascadero, Ca 93422 Re: The Village Oaks (Condominium Subdivision) Tract 866. Dear Sirs: : The intent of this letter is to provide the Planning Commission with a brief history of the above referenced project for the purpose of requesting a variance, as per Section 6 of the new condominium moratorium. This project was conceived in 1976 and proposed to the county in January 1977 by a sir. Nichols. Later that year he received approval of his departmental review. Apparently due to a prob- lem with his partnership he decided to liquidate in early 1978. Our group purchased the project in August of 1978 and proceeded to file new applications, with the County of San Luis Obispo, so that we might get the project underway. However, the real thrust to obtain our permits did not begin to occur until March of 1979 when our sale closed. Since then we have applied for and received building permits, pending minor plan corrections by the architect, and turned in our tenative map application. The moratorium has now halted the latter pro- cess, Consequently, besides the fees which have been paid to and accepted by the County for some time, in excess of $6,000.00, we have also incurred and paid fees to Cal Trans and P.G.&E. , $2,500.00, as well as, architectural, engineering and attorney fees, $22,000.00, to see that this project is developed and designed as an enhancement to the community. We have also received a construction financing committment in excess of one million dollars which has to be signed by January 4, 1980 and a 100% completion bond which also has to be signed at the same time. Both of these coramittments now seem in jeop- ardy. Lenzi Design and Development $ c �xk �Sj.528-5456' Mactor's License :umber 296=99 P. O. Box 5, Atascaaero, Ca 93422 November 28, 1979 Atascadero City Planning Commission Re The Village Oaks (Condominium Subdivision) Tract 866 Page 2 This project is a new condominium project designed by professional atchitects under the directives of the uniform building code, meeting all requirements of the county depart- mental review and having staff approval. It is a project with alot of time, effort and concern having been spent to ensure that it will be completed properly. Therefore, we would request of the Planning Commission and City Council a hearing for the purpose of granting a variance to our project, because of the difficulties and unnecessary hardships we are now experiencing due to the moratorium. Thank you for your co-operation. Very tr Y Yours, C. Lenzi 41-1 LENZI DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT CL/sel cc: Morris Gannage file _M_E_M_.O_R A_N—D—U M_ TO: City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Largo and Cayucos Streets/Road Deposit Program At the November 26th meeting, you deferred any action on this ma�ter in order to allow the property owners an opportunity to work out a solution with the County. It is my understanding that they have done so. The question then remains as to the Council' s desire to continue or to abandon the road deposit program. In view of the difficulties the County has encountered in administering the program and in view of their cancelling it and the inherent difficulties in the program keeping pace with increased building costs; it is my recommendation that the Council repeal the ordinance governing the program. As you are aware, we adopted all of the County ordinances at the time the City became operational. Each of those ordinances remains in effect until specifically superseded by Council action. Attached hereto is an ordinance cancelling the County' s road deposit ordinance which I recommend for your adoption. It is my understanding that the monies involved will be refunded by the County to each of the persons who have made deposits and that upon adoption of the attached ordinance, monies will no longer be collected for this pro- gram. It is also my understanding that the property owners intend to pave the roads at their own expense and to maintain them as private roads. fR L WARDEN 712-20- 9 i ORDINANCE NO. 13 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO AMENDING ORDI- NANCE NO. 2 DECLARING AN URGENCY AND PROVIDING THAT THE ORDINANCE SHALL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY. THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO ORDAINS as follows: Section 1. County Ordinancesin Effect as City Ordinances Amended. San Luis Obispo County Code adopted by City of Atascadero Ordinance No. 2 is amended by deleting entire Chapter 13.16 re- lating to Deposits for Improvements of Non-County Roads (Sections 13.16 .010 through 13.16 .090) Section 2 . Declaration of Urgency. This ordinance is an urgency ordinance and is for the imme- diate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety. The facts constituting the urgency are these; the City of Atascadero isnewlyincorporated and comprises territory formerly unincorpo- rated. It is necessary that this ordinance take effect immediately in order to assure continuity in the application, administration, and enforcement of the ordinances and policies of the newly incor- porated city. Section 3. Taking Effect. This ordinance, being an urgency ordinance for the immediate protection of the public health, safety, and general welfare, con- taining a declaration of the facts constituting the urgency, and passed by a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the Council shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

Upon completion of the inter- views, the committee is recommending the retention of the firm of A. H. Stephenson associated with Elliott 0. Stephenson. Mr. Stephenson has considerable knowledge of the building itself, has .lived in Atascadero since his childhood and is extremely interested in the building as an attribute to the community. His background is extensive and, based upon his experience, should be able to do a `creditable job. If the Council agrees with this recommendation, it would be appropriate to approve the City Manager entering into a contract with Mr. Stephenson for the completion of the work pursuant to his, proposal. After your approval, the City Attorney will review necessary contractual documentation to assure meeting appropriate legal requirements. Mr. Stephenson has estimated an overall cost of $150,000 for the remodeling and furnishings. The budget now has $75, 000 for the remodeling of the Police Department which would be applied as a part of the overall remodel project. rec end your concurrence with the committee's action.

I would suggest, therefore, that the Council interview these applicants January 5th. If neither appears suitable, then we could go out and re-advertise recognizing that it would be two to three months before we could have another selection opportunity. I suggest proceeding with the interviews. On of these applicants may be eminently well qualified for the position. 00'aZ MU RAY .

This plan has equal or better benefits than those contained in our temporary Blue Cross Plan. Major medical benefits have a lifetime maximum of $1,000,000 with a per calendar year deductible of $100 per individual and $300 per family. The policy pays 80% of the first $2,500 for all other charges, after deductible, and 100% for all over $2 , 500. Dental benefits, whish are not a part of the temporary plan, have a maximum ofer ear, $25 deductible per individual •- per calendar year, an pays 50% on dentures, bridge work, etc. , and 80% of all other covered expenses. This policy also offers, at the employees' expense, Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment, AD&D, at $. 35 per $1,000 to a maximum of $7, 500. Cost per employee is $40. 40 with the cost per family of $67. 99. These are the same figures briefed to Council in ourmemorandumof 11/5/79. It is recommended that Council give favorable considera- tion to implementing the JPA Health Benefit Plan January 1, 1980. It is further recommended that the City pay the employee's cost and that each employee may have deducted from their pay those costs for family participation. Further, that Staff take action to cancel the temporary Blue Cross Plan at the appropriate date to insure no loss of coverage, and, that our share of JPA Document Services, $1, 750, be authorized for payment from reserves. cooce,.� f+w�awawo RALPH H DOWELL, JR RHD:ad 12-19-79 CHAPTER 4.
