1. Expansion of the Countywide Runabout Service for additional hours.
2. Transit service between Five Cities area and San Luis Obispo.

Avila Beach, both weekends and weekdays.

would be taking office on December 4, 1984, he:asked If Council wanted to change
the effective dates of terms of office for Board and Commission Members from
June to December.

tion date of terms as is; although Councilman Vandeveer pointed out that this
is inconsistent with the elections, to which Councilman Hogan agreed.
PROPOSED STREET DEVELOPMENT OF PLATI NO LANE
City Manager Mack said.a letter from the Platino Lane residents requests
that the Council impose a condition on the developer of adjoining property to
make some improvements on the Platino Lane road extension. Public Works Director
Karp explained in a memo dated February 7, 1984, that as a part of a rezoning
Ordinance the developer was required to put in a 28 ft. wide private street
where parking would be provided in various locations inside their development.
New water and sewer lines are being installed in the Platino Lane' area, although
no curbs, gutters and sidewalks are required of the developer outside his
development to connect Wildwood Ranch to City streets in the vicinity of
Oro Drive for emergency purposes.
GENE BIRKETT, 511 Platino Lane, said the property owners do not derive
any benefit from opening up Platino Lane into the private tract, and they are
asking for relief from ever being required to put in curbs, gutters and
sidewalks.
SHARON OLSON, 516 Platino Lane, requested a street light be installed
going up the hill. Mr. Karp assured her lights on wooden poles could be
installed at suitable 'intervals, according to P. G. & E. standards.
JEFF JONES, 507 Platino Lane, asked if the area could be isolated in any
way (with signs, gate). Council responded that isolation is not feasible
because of necessary access for emergency vehicles.
Mr. Karp said Platino Lane was an offer to dedicate and rejected, and
when the improvements are complete it will be accepted and the City will start
maintaining Platino Lane.
GENERAL REVENUE SHARING PRIORITIES - 1984/85
Mr. Mack said he was attempting to develop some guidelines to enable him
to make budget recommendations .to the Council at a later date. He said the
new Revenue Sharing Act does not increase the total allocation to the City,
and he recommended the City stay wi th the tota I of $4,000, ,as in th is year I s
budget, and to maintain that level during the next three years. He further
suggested that each grant be limited to $500, which means at least eight
organi zat i on. can be funded.
Council agreed to the suggested $500 limit, along with a letter to each
organization to inform them for budget purposes. Mr. Mack suggested priorities
for budgeting, and Council agreed.
