REPORT BY HUGH POPE - REP TO STATE COMMITTEE ON BEACHES & PARKS
Mr. Hugh Pope, the City's representative to the State Committee on
Beaches and Park.s, was present and reviewed the back.ground information on the
requirement of sanitary facilities by the State Advisory Commission for the
beach areas of Nipomo, Oceano and Pismo Beacho He reported that last year
the Clean Water & Environmental Act was passed and went into effect i~?Ym?ediately,
requiring sanitary facilities on public beaches to be placed every 1/lOth of a
mile, or the beaches would be clased to the public. The State indicated a
lack of funds for this project for the next 2 to 3 years and suggested that a
non-profit organization be set up which would collect fees for use of the
beaches, administer all facilities and pay voucherso A11 beaches would have
to establish entrance fees and a limitation would also have to be set on the
number of people having access to the beaches at one time.
- Council discussian indicated that they felt the beaches should be free
for public use and the State should wait until it does have sources available
to provide the Y•equired sanitary facilities without closing the beaches until
such time, Mr. Pope indi.cated he will advise the cornmittee of the Council's
opinion and keep the Council informed with progress reports.
DEDICAT. OFFER OF PRIVATE ROAD - BRIGHTON STREET - BY MR. S. C, BADEN
Administrator Butch reviewed a letter he received from Attorney Stephen
Cool on behalf of Mr. Siegfried Co Baden of 1385 Brighton Street in Arroyo
Grande, to dedicate a private road to the City in exchange for curbs, gutters
and sidewalks on the street, as he was concerned about the number of persons
using the street and his public liability, Administrator Butch pointed out
the ~rea involved on a map and suggested the City might get an easement for a
water line to complete the City's water circulation in that area. Neither
Mr. Baden or his representative was present so Council directed that perhaps
a compromise co~xld be arranged to accept the street as an easement for the
water line instead of the improvements, as the latter request has never been
afforded other property owners, and it would be Mr. Baden's responsibility
to pave the street before the City does accept it.
