PUBLIC HEARINGS 9.a. Preliminary Approval of Fiscal Year 2000-01 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Projects. Assistant Planner McClish presented the staff report. She explained that the City's allocation of CDBG funds this fiscal year is approximately $152,000. She reviewed the three alternatives presented for the Council's consideration, explaining that Alternative #1 emphasized the funding of City projects; Alternative #2 reflected a greater emphasis on contribution to regional programs while providing funding for most of the City projects; and Alternative #3 which placed an emphasis on regional programs with reduced funding of City projects. Staff recommended the Council review the applications and provide preliminary approval of the projects to be submitted to the County for funding. Mayor Lady opened the public hearing. Maura Hugh, representing Economic Opportunity Commission - Health Services (EOC), gave an overview of the "Forty Wonderful Program" that serves women forty years of age and older who live below the poverty level and do not have access to reproductive health care services. She requested the Council consider approving the EOC's request for funds. Joey Hughes, representing Camp Fire Council of the Central Coast, gave an overview of the Teens-In-Action Program which is a new program for teens in Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach and requested the Council consider approving Alternative #3 which includes funds for their program. Michael Pascarelli, representing the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County, gave an overview of the history and operations of the Food Bank and said their application for funds would assist in the purchase of a new, larger warehouse in Paso Robles. He explained that although the Food Bank is located in Paso Robles, the Food Bank serves the South County, including Arroyo Grande, by distributing food to low/moderate. income persons. He referred to Table 2 on page 4 which lists the six organizations that obtain food from the Food Bank for distribution. He explained that there was a long-term goal of establishing a second location in the South County; however, at this time, the cost and accessibility of warehouse space in Paso Robles makes it easier for them to remain there. ------- CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2001 PAGE 5 Ron Hannah, Food Bank Coordinator at St. Patrick's Church, stated that the Food Bank distributes food three days a week from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. He spoke in support of the Food Bank. Herman Olave, representing Harvest Bag, Inc., stated Harvest Bag has been in the community for 21 years and serves San Luis Obispo County. He gave an overview of Harvest Bag's volunteer operations and submitted a letter for the record stating there is no need to duplicate services with the addition of a warehouse. Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Lady closed the public hearing. Council questions and discussion included clarification on the intent for the use of CDBG funds to benefit low income families; whether the Camp Fire's proposal for a new teen program qualified under the CDBG criteria; using CDBG funds for established programs in the community; and review of the proposed City projects. Council Member Dickens stated that he felt CDBG funds should be spent to serve and benefit the citizens of Arroyo Grande. He supported a modified version of Alternative #3 and proposed moving the proposed allocation of $2,000 from the Camp Fire Boys and Girls to the City's Cedar Street Sidewalk project. Council Member Runels spoke in general support of Alternative #1. Council Member Lubin spoke in support of Alternative #2 as modified to reduce the allocation to the EOC Home Repair program and to increase the allocation for the City's Cedar Street Sidewalk project. Mayor Pro Tern spoke in support of Alternative #2 as modified to reduce the allocation of funds to $5,000 for the EOC Home Repair program, allocate $5,000 to the Food Bank Coalition and $2,000 to the Camp Fire Boys & Girls. Mayor Lady agreed with Mayor Pro Tern Ferrara's suggestion for Alternative #2. Council Member Runels requested that next year Harvest Bag, Inc. is informed about the CDBG program so that they have an opportunity to submit an application. Mayor Pro Tern Ferrara moved to provide preliminary approval on the proposed funding of Fiscal Year 2000-01 CDBG projects as listed in Alternative #2, with the following modifications: #4. EOC Home Repair - reduce the allocation of $12,000 to $5,000; #8. Food Bank Coalition of the Central Coast Property Acquisition - allocate $5,000; and #9. Camp Fire Boys and Girls of the Central Coast - allocate $2,000. Mayor Lady seconded the motion. Council Member Dickens commented that there had been discussion about allocating funds to organizations with in the City rather than to regional organizations, that the ------- CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2001 PAGE 6 EOC Home Repair program keeps the funds in the City, and he could not support reducing the amount for the program to $5,000. Further, he stated that although the Cedar Street Sidewalk project was designated as appropriate according to the 1990 census, he did not feel the project would meet CDBG guidelines according to the new census. He stated he could not support the motion. On the following roll call-vote, to wit: AYES: Ferrara, Lady, Runels, Lubin NOES: Dickens ABSENT: None There being 4 A YES and 1 NO, the motion is hereby declared to be passed. 9.b.

Assistant Planner McClish presented the staff report. Staff recommended the Council adopt a Resolution approving the installation of cables spanning West Branch Street for the location of a special event banner to announce community based events. Council questions and discussion included the condition of the buildings to which the cables were to be attached; installing the cables permanently for safety and convenience purposes; insurance liability issues; whether or not advertisement of sponsors should be allowed on the banner; positive comments received from the Village Improvement Association; interpretation of 1900's theme design guidelines; decreasing the timeframe between the display of banners; installation and removal of the banners by the Fire Department; and the requirement for obtaining approval and permits from Caltrans.

He addressed technical and safety issues involved in taking down the cables after each special event. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Lady closed the public hearing. Council Member Lubin suggested reducing the time frame from 20 days to 10 days for the placement of banners in between special events. He supported the project. Council Member Runels commended Mr. Derril Pilkington for his perseverance in pursuing this project and stated he supported the project. .----~--_._- CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2001 PAGE 7 CounciJ Member Dickens stated this proposal was a benefit to the City; however, he recommended providing the Architectural Review Committee with design guidelines regarding the 1900's theme; and supported reducing the time between displaying banners to 10 days. Council Member Runels moved to adopt a Resolution approving standards for special event banners for community-based events and the installation of cables across West Branch Street attached to the buildings at 106 West Branch Street and 102 Bridge Street, as modified that there shall be a 10 day interval between the display of banners. Following further discussion, Council Member Runels further moved to direct staff to establish 1900's theme design guidelines for use by the Architectural Review Committee.

Staff recommended the Council approve the second amendment to the Street Sweeping Service Agreement. Council questions and discussion included clarification on the definition of secondary sweeps; clarification that the contractor has not had to pay dump fees in the past; and how to resolve ongoing issues with construction debris in the street. Mayor Lady opened up the discussion for public comment. Dane Phillips, Daystar Industries, gave an overview of how he established his business and the competition regarding rates. He explained that secondary sweeps were established in 1998 as an ongoing operation to address routine problem areas that have been identified in the City.

NEW BUSINESS 11.a. Proposed Ordinance Amending Portions of Title 6, Chapter 4 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code to Establish a Mandatory Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Program. Associate Planner Heffernon presented the staff report. She explained that State law required each local jurisdiction to develop and implement waste diversion programs that ultimately achieve a 50% reduction in waste that is Jandfilled by the end of the year 2000. She stated that the City has implemented various programs to accomplish this goal. She stated that a significant portion of the City's waste stream that has yet to be diverted was construction and demolition debris, which has sharply increased over the past several years. The proposed Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Program Ordinance was initiated by the San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority, and was derived from reviewing similar ordinances throughout the state with input from the building industry. She gave an overview of the key components of the proposed program. Associate Planner Heffernon noted for the record that a letter had been received from Castlerock Development supporting the proposed ordinance. Bill Worrell, representing the Integrated Waste Management Authority, spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance and stated that implementing the ordinance would help in the City's continued compliance with the requirements of AB939. Council questions and discussion included clarification that recycling efforts are reported to the State on a regional basis; what Jocations were available for the recycling of construction and demolition waste; the effectiveness of implementing a civil penalty for non-compliance at the completion of the project rather than requiring a performance security up-front; and providing educational materials about the program to the contractors. CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2001 PAGE 9 Following further discussion, Mayor Pro Tern Ferrara moved to introduce for first reading by title only an Ordinance amending Title 6, Chapter 4 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code to establish a mandatory construction and demolition debris recycling program.

Community Development Director McCants presented the staff report. He explained that the Council had directed staff to develop a proposal that would provide for Council input and increased involvement in the review and approval of potentially significant land use proposals. He gave an overview of the four alternatives and recommended the Council provide direction to staff concerning existing policy and alternatives for the City's development application approval process. Council Members Dickens, Runels, and Lubin supported the current process as described in Alternative One which wouJd be to retain the existing appeal provisions and process as recommended at the December 12, 2000 City Council meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara agreed with Council comments; however, he commented that he felt a customer-oriented deveJopment review process is required. He noted that often an applicant would go through the process favorably only to have a project denied by the Council. He felt allowing the Council to see concept plans early in the process may better assist the applicant. He noted that there was no clear way to fix this problem and. that he could support Alternative One at this time; however, he suggested continuing to review the development process to refine the criteria used to evaluate projects. Mayor Lady commented on the Council's accountability for projects that are built in the City. He acknowledged the role of the Commissions and stated he supported Alternative One. City Manager Adams commented that within the next few months, staff would be coming to Council with an annual review of the traffic guideline standards; the Grand Avenue Master Plan process will provide more specific guidelines for projects in that area; the Council will be reviewing the Village Design Guidelines; and there would be other pJanning efforts that will provide more specific guidelines in reviewing projects. ---,~ CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES JANUARY 23, 2001 PAGE 10 Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara moved to approve Alternative One retaining the existing appeal provisions relating to the City's development application approval process.

Director of Financial Services Snodgrass gave an overview of the proposed annual budget process; long-range financial plan, and two-year budget process. She expJained that the proposed annual budget process would incorporate goals into the draft budget; a long-range financial plan would identify long-term financial implications of decisions, facilitate long-range planning, and link planning to financial resources.

That the interest rate charged to the Redevelopment Agency by the City be decreased from 10% to 0% until the Redevelopment Agency Administration Fund annual revenues and expenses are balanced.

City Manager Adams stated that based on approval of these cost containment recommendations, it was then proposed to study the feasibility of assistance to a project utilizing potential debt financing. He recommended that initial efforts focus on Key Site 2, located on the northwest corner of EI Camino Real, and Key Site 4, located on the southwest corner of East Grand Avenue and Elm Street, which are identified in the Redevelopment Implementation Strategy. Consultant Steve Harding reviewed the Redevelopment Implementation Strategy; provided additional information about the City's financing options; the process for developing a project; and observations about project viability on East Grand Avenue.
