Jeff Ferber RRM Design, provided an overview of the proposed Short Street and Centennial
Park Enhancements conceptual plan.
Mayor Ferrara referred to the last meeting where discussion was held concerning the status and
potential sale of the current City Hall building, concerns about space, the feasibility of locating
all staff to the Farm Credit building and inquired whether the Council would need to direct staff
to bring this issue back on a future Council agenda. Brief discussion ensued with regard to the
previous analysis and evaluation concerning this matter and City Manager Adams indicated that
there was nothing in staff's recommendation that would preclude the Council from moving
forward with the proposed purchase agreement since sale of the City Hall property would have
to be considered separately.
Mayor Ferrara opened the public hearing.
Carol Florence Oasis and Associates, representing NKT Commercial, thanked the Council for
providing direction at the last meeting, stated they met quickly thereafter on a revised design for
Short Street and tried to balance the direction for a one -way street with the applicant's desire for
a fully functional exterior space for the proposed restaurant area; thanked Gary Scherquist and
RRM Design for responding to all concerns; confirmed City Manager Adam's response
regarding the applicant's acceptance of this design; and requested approval of the proposal.

building at 200 East Branch Street; displayed photos of the building which is 1950's architecture

unchanged; stated it would be a tribute to the Village to save and reuse the building; and urged

against the project; how many letters were received in support or opposition; stated he has a

project; and referred to several public workshops which were held and televised, but were
sparsely attended;
- Acknowledged the state of the economy and concern about public perception of
government;
- Referred to the temporary closure of Short Street to study traffic circulation, not economic
impact;
- Referred to examples of projects from other cities and agreed that the City is unique and not
like other cities, however, he believed the City has the ability to learn from challenges in
other jurisdictions;

successful;
- Acknowledged Ron DeCarli and the City's relationship with SLOCOG; the benefits of
pedestrian oriented areas in a downtown core to draw business away from big box centers;
- Believed the proposal to be a compromise as it relates to traffic circulation and a one -way
street;
- Stated he was not going to deny the project because trucks have to adjust their delivery
routes;

accomplish similar projects in the future;

opportunity;

services; stated that staff growth or reduction is based on the budget and Council has to
approve based on workload in the community;

if the rule of common sense is applied from a practical approach, this project gives the City
an opportunity to manage liability by acquiring a building that can better accommodate

the project as proposed; will provide staff with a safe, healthy, working environment; and

Council Member Costello provided the following comments:
- Stated he has asked for an option to keep Short Street open so he could support the
project;
- Stated this is a complex set of proposals that are tied together; that due to shrinking
government, a strategy has been implemented for the City to stay on budget which
included a restructuring and reduction of staff to consolidate services;
- Stated this proposal is the most cost efficient solution; there is a very low rate of interest
on loan; savings in the budget will offset those costs;
- If City tries to retrofit and repair existing buildings, would be much more costly;
- If City sells the buildings, the buyer would inherit the problems that they have and they
would not generate the revenue;
- Leasing another location is not the most efficient way to solve this problem;
- The proposed approach maintains City services in a central location;
- Not necessarily in favor of selling the City Hall building now and does not consider as
part of this proposal;
- The solution to move most of the City functions into the Farm Credit building makes
sense; and would like to get staff out of the existing Engineering Building as soon as
possible;
- With regard to renovating City Hall, there is a plan in place that includes upgrades to the
building to be funded over the next two to three years;
- There are costs involved if this project does not move forward in order to solve a lot of
problems;
- Received numerous public comments about the project outside of the meeting, which
are divided 50 -50 in support and opposition; at last meeting, most of the opposition was
closure of Short Street;
- Acknowledged comments about impact on existing Village businesses from Farmer's
Market; suggested exploring solutions to keep the Market within the Village;
- Acknowledged that progress is going to happen and change is going to occur;
- Supported project as proposed and redesigned;
- Would like to see the 200 E. Branch building relocated and maintained somewhere if
possible; accepts that it would be difficult to be adaptively reused.
Council Member Arnold provided the following comments:
- Questioned the cost of leasing the Farm Credit building; referred to the USDA loan and
inquired whether there were restrictions that would prevent purchase of the building only;
- Acknowledged community /business interest in acquisition of 200 and 208 East Branch
Street buildings and inquired whether anyone else has come forward;
- Inquired about costs to continue operating and maintaining the current City Hall;
- Has heard and listened to all public comments;

traffic flow will be better; design is flexible so that it can be converted to pedestrian
space in future;
- Understands that the applicant is not willing to adaptively reuse the buildings at 200 E.
Branch Street or have Short Street remain as two lanes;
- Could approve portion of project proposed for Short Street /Centennial Square;
- Does not support expanding office space beyond the Farm Credit building; believes that
Agenda Item 8.c.
Page 10
Minutes: City Council /Redevelopment Agency Meeting
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Page 11
the project is only viable if City Hall building is sold; provided estimated comparison of
costs;
- Does not consider the 200 East Branch Street building as historic; is a good example of
1950's architecture which is not necessarily compatible with the Village;
- Believes the historic designation process is flawed;
- With regard to ADA compliance issues with City Hall versus the Farm Credit building,
there is no elevator access at the Farm Credit building, however, it solves a lot of the
ADA issues;
- Can support locating all City staff in the Farm Credit building and purchasing the building
outright; however, he is concerned about whether or not this project should be approved
or the existing buildings be saved; would consider continuing to a future date to
determine whether City Hall could be sold;
- At this time, could support the Centennial Square and related street improvements,
buying the Farm Credit building, and the investigation of selling the other properties;
wants to consolidate staff into one building.
- Noted that if the public bathrooms are moved, it could be a better project.
City Manager Adams briefly responded to questions regarding relocation of the public
restrooms; the potential for implementing future phases of the project; the reappraised value of
the Farm Credit building; an employee space needs analysis; and selling the City Hall building.
Council Member Fellows provided the following comments:
- Stated there was not enough time allocated for public comment tonight and there should
be no set time limit;
- Acknowledged letter submitted by Donna Shook expressing concern about the costly
changes in this economic environment and that the Village park should remain as it is;
- Stated he had previously referred to General Plan and Land Use Element policies and
objectives and the General Plan Survey responses, and that they are a matter of record;
- With regard to City Hall working conditions, looked at space limitations again and agreed
that there are some areas that are crowded;
- Would like to see staff have enough room to work effectively within two buildings if
economically feasible;
- Does not support selling City Hall, and noted that the building is on the local historic
register;
- With regard to acquiring the Farm Credit building, he would be more supportive in a
better economic climate because it would provide the extra space while bringing the
existing City Hall up to date;

environment and indicators point to a continued decline; property and sales tax revenues
are declining and it could get worse;
- Cannot support buying the building with borrowed money;
- Not comfortable with the proposal as presented; public perception demands more
transpency, not less;

other City properties in order to buy an asset;

mentioned in the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration;
Agenda Item 8.c.
Page 11
Minutes: City Council /Redevelopment Agency Meeting
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Page 12
- Local experts and members of the Historic Resources Committee mentioned the building
is part of the Village environment and part of the Historic Overlay and is worth saving;
- Stated the City hired a historic consultant who concluded that the building was not
eligible for the State register, but that it could be eligible for the local historic register;
- Cannot approve demolition of any one of the old, historic, or vintage buildings that are
part of the historic downtown;
- Disagreed with findings in the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative, specifically Section I.
(Aesthetics), Section V (Cultural Resources), and Section XVII (Mandatory Findings of
Significance);
- Does not believe the 200 E. Branch Street building can be relocated without being
destroyed and taking it out of the Village removes it as a contributor and puts it
somewhere where it provides false history;
- There is no compelling reason for a Centennial Park; it is worth celebrating the City's
Centennial but not at this expense; only private funds should be used;
- Acknowledged Gary Scherquist's pro -bono work;
- Should keep Short Street as is; if plan is approved now or in the future, there should be
strict limitations on the number of days the bollards can be used to close the street;
- Stated he is not against development; stated the Conrad house (Engineering Building)
could be used for restaurant or small office use; the "malt shop" (200 East Branch Street
building) could be sold with a condition that it maintain its outward appearance; part of
the parking lot could be left for parking and part of the parking lot could be used for
expansion of the "malt shop" building;
- Parking behind the Council Chambers building is on a slope and not convenient;

history;

was not deemed historic; have been told the building can't be reused in this proposal;
- Noted that the Council is entrusted to make decisions based on recommendations from
the advisory bodies and based on design guidelines that are in place;
- Believed there was a need for an alternative financing plan; stated the City Manager had
developed a financial plan and felt that it would be more expensive to remodel City Hall
to accommodate staff, although he didn't believe it would be quite that expensive;
acknowledged that the project could not be completely funded from the General Fund;
- Could support the project side of this proposal; public came out strongly about not
closing Short Street; believed that the traffic study was accurate as far as traffic studies
go; agreed that Short Street needs to stay open;
- He voted against this proposal at least three times based on the fact he does not believe
that the City should be spending money at this time, specifically local sales tax funds;
also would be creating too much space;
- Stated that staff had previously analyzed whether staff could fit into one building and
was rejected, maybe too quickly;
Agenda Item 8.c.
Page 12
Minutes: City Council /Redevelopment Agency Meeting
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Page 13
- Stated that he had three fundamental problems with the project: 1) it is too big; 2) would
require spending local sales tax funds; and 3) does not address current ADA issues at
City Hall;
- Said the City must meet this need to address facility deficiencies;
- Believed that current staff could fit into the Farm Credit building;
- Could support going forward on two conditions: 1) do not finance this with local sales tax
funds, should come out of other General Funds; 2) take a serious look at what current
needs really are;
- Would like to determine how to conduct a needs analysis of City Hall as well as the
potential for selling the City Hall building;
- Could move forward with the proposal if we can bring these issues back for
consideration;
- Questioned whether funds could be borrowed to make improvements;

see staff relocate to a single building.

projections for transient occupancy tax and sales tax revenue and noted that the City is
currently maintaining its budget reserve goal even in these economic times.
Brief discussion ensued about the City budget, how the local sales tax is administered in the
budget; and the potential for leasing the City Hall building. Mayor Pro Tem Guthrie suggested a
subcommittee be formed to do a space and needs assessment. Further discussion ensued with
staff and the applicant concerning options and how best to proceed. City Manager Adams
requested a brief break to confer with the City Attorney and to formulate a revised
recommendation for Council consideration.
Mayor Ferrara called for a break at 11:15 p.m. The Council reconvened at 11:31 p.m.

Discuss and give direction to staff regarding potential changes to the historic resources criteria;
and 2) Reprogram $30,000 in Redevelopment Agency funds for consultant services to prepare a

(matrix); did not support the development of criteria to designate different levels of historic
resources; did not support development of a process to allow the relocation of historic resources;
requested direction from the Council on how best to integrate review procedures for designated or
potential historic resources with the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) and recommended that
the Council allow the HRC to review projects within the D -2.4 overlay district and make
recommendations to the Council; did not support amending the CEQA guidelines; supported a
contract for a historic resource survey; and supported the establishment of a Mills Act Program. He
concluded by stating it was important for the HRC to be professional and consistent in its
recommendations.
Agenda Item 8.c.
Page 22
Minutes: City Council /Redevelopment Meeting Page 8
Tuesday, March 9, 2010
Steve Ross Garden Street, supported the idea to designate different levels or classes of historic
resources; and stated that the physical value of a property needs to be considered as it relates to
historic designation and potential relocation.
Hearing no further public comments, Mayor Ferrara closed the public comment period.
Council comments ensued regarding the historic designation process with acknowledgement that it
is a very subjective process, even among consultants and experts.
Following individual Council comments regarding the ten recommendations listed in the staff
report, City Manager Adams summarized the direction a majority of the Council provided, as
follows:

2. Utilize the National Register Bulletin: How to Apply the National Register Criteria for
Evaluation with a modifying statement related to Arroyo Grande's unique history;
3. Develop a defined and articulated historical context;
4. Do not develop criteria to designate different levels of historic resources;
5. Do not develop a specific process to allow the relocation of historic resources;
6. Establish ARC and HRC review procedures for designated or potential historic resources
and allow the HRC to review discretionary projects within the D -2.4 overlay district;
7. Encourage information exchange between HRC and ARC on projects of mutual interest
with a visiting committee member not having voting rights;
8. Do not amend the City's CEQA Guidelines;
9. Contract for a Historic Resource Survey once the modified criteria is in place, and
reprogram $30,000 in Redevelopment Agency funds for consultant services to prepare the
survey;
10. Establish a Mills Act Program.
It was also recommended that staff review Santa Barbara County's historic resources criteria and
designation process further and to provide Council with an analysis and recommendation.
The Council concurred and noted that these items would return to the Council for further
consideration at a future date. No formal action was taken.

FROM: STEVEN N. ANNI ALI, CHIEF OF POLIO
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO DECLARE SURPLUS PROPERTY ! POLICE
VEHICLE AND AUTHORIZE VEHICLE TRADE AND ACQUSITION
DATE: MARCH 23,2010
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council: 1 adopt ar Resolution declaring an existing
2005 Ford F1 50 pick -up truck as surplus; 2 ) approve ar trade -in of the pick -up truck
for a Chevrolet Impala at Christianson Chevrolet; 3 approve acceptance of
199 Hummer from ar Federal Surplus program; and appropriate up to $10,000
fr revenues received fr the sale o f surplus vehicles to paint and equip the
Hummer.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The trade o f the surplus vehicle would have no financial impact due to the City
receiving a vehicle of comparable value.
The acceptance f the Federal Surplus 1033 vehicle would result in using
approximately $10,000 of the $17,000 in unanticipated revenue from the sale of
former surplus vehicles to paint and equip the Federal Surplus vehicle. There
would be approximately 7,00 in unanticipated revenues gained.
BACKGROUND:
IJND:
The Police Department possesses ar 2005 Ford F150 pick-up truck, which was
originally assigned to a Police Officer serving in the Regional nail tar i s Task Force.
Currently, the Pismo Beach Police Department has assigned an officer to the
Narcotics Task Force and the Arroyo Grande Police Department has returned its
officer to uniform services. As a result, this vehicle is no longer needed.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The Police Department currently has the need for two specialty vehicles. The first
4
is a basic sedan for the Citizen's Assisting Police Volunteer Patrol Program and the
second need is for a suitab le vehicle to tow aw new $30,000 grant funded DUI trailer
that the City will receive in exchange for managing the Avoid the 14 County-wide
DUI effort.

MARCH 23, 201
PACE 2
By declaring the 2005 Ford F150 as surplus, the Police Department has made
a rrangements with Christianson Chevrolet to trad the truck for a 2006 Chevrolet
Impala to be used by the volunteer patrol staff. This white Impala will match the
other Impalas being obtained by both Pismo Beach and Grover Beach for use in
their volunteer programs. The newly formed South County Police Volunteers will be
able to volunteer their services in any of the three jurisdictions using like volunteer
vehicles. The National narl Automotive Dealers Association I AL A value of the 2005
Ford F150 is ppr imately $10,975. The value of the 2006 Chevrolet Impala is
$8,892.'19 including all fees. The difference in the value of the two vehicles will be
credited to the Police Department's service account at Christianson Chevrolet.
The second need is for a vehicle that has the c apability to tow the new DUI trailer.
The 2005 Ford F1 50 does not have that capability. Through the sale o f two surplus
motorcycles and a former police sedan, the Police Department o btained $17,000 in
unanticipated revenue. The initial plan was to utilize those funds for a potential tow
vehicle. However, the Police Department has been working with the City of Santa
Maria to obtain at no cost an AM General Hummer from the Federal Surplus 1033
Program. The Hummer has only 2,100 original miles and is in very good working
order. The Hummer has the ability to tow the DUI trailer and would be used as a
limited use vehicle. The Santa Maria Police Department has committed to supply
any repair or maintenance parts that may be needed in the foreseeable future.
Staff is recommending that Council approve the acquisition of the Hummer and
authorize using $10,000 of the $17,000 unanticipated revenue to " iviliani e" the
vehicle and paint it in the traditional black and white color scheme. This would
return approximately $7,000 back to the General Fund. The Santa Maria Police
Department has been actively involved in the Federal surplus program and has
assisted in providing more than 13 of these vehicles to public safety agencies
throughout California.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
Approve staff's recommendations;
Do not approve staff's recommendation.
• Modify as appropriate and approve s taff's recommendation; or

separate additive alternates to enable the project to be constructed within the available
funding. The base bid and additive alternates are as follows:

well below the Engineer's Estimates of $1,011,769 (combination overlay and
microsurfacing ) and $1 ,335,912 (entire overlay option). Although Papich Construction
Company Inc. submitted the lowest responsive bid for the Base Bid, Granite
Construction Company submitted the lowest responsive bid for the combination of the
Base Bid and additive alternates recommended by staff.
On March 17, 2010, Papich Construction submitted a letter to staff alleging
inconsistencies in the bid documentation. that dictates the City's decision process for
contract award (see Attachment lo. 3. Staff reviewed the information presented and
consulted with the City Attorney. Upon confirmation of the discrepancies and the advice

Subject: Project No. W 2008 -8: West Branch Street Resurfacing
R e: Contract Award
Mr. Iron —
It has come to the attention of P pith Construction that are inconsistency in the West Branch Street
Resurfacing project specifications and bid documents has caused considerable confusion as to who the
project will ultimately be awarded to. Respectfully, Papih Construction submits this letter to your office in
order to offer clarification as to the position which our company maintains.
The discrepancy in the specifications and bid documents revolves around the definition of how P 200$- 8
shall be awarded. In two separate locations, the project specifications male contradictory s tatements
regarding evaluation for award. Specifically, award of contract is discussed under the Bid Requirements
section and states that:
"The City will award a Contract, at its discretion, solely on the lowest base contract bid"
Additionally, award of contract is discussed under the Bid Proposal section and states that:
"The City will award a Contract based on the aggregate total of the Base Bid and all additive bid
items"
WhEe two methods of evaluation are discussed in the contract documents, the only logical means to evaluate
this project is by way of using the base bid as the grounds for award. This is the case because all the acid
alternates are not completely separate, specifically defined scopes of work. Selection of certain add alternates
precludes the selection of other add alternates — making there mutually exclusive. Comparison based upon a
total derived by adding the base bid plus all add alternates provides a logically meaningless number to the City
as is shown on Table 1 below:

Additionally, California Public Contract Code, Section 10116, Part C states that:
"Whenever additive or deductive items are included in a bid, the bid solicitation shall specify which
one of the folioxxing methods will be used to d t nine the lowest bird. In the absence of such
spe if only the method provided by paragraph 1 uU be used "'
Section 101261, Part C. Paragraph 1 states that:
"The lowest bid shall be the lowest bid price on the base contract without consideration of the prices
on the additive or deductive items "'
The project documents did not provide an express method for deter irmatl n of the lowest bidder. By
default, the City, should folio xr the procedures outlined in Paragraph 1 of Section 1 0126 and make the award
solely using the vase bid for comparison. Furthermore, fart C of eetion 10126 specifically stags that
"Whenever additive or deductive bid items are included in a bid, the bi solidtation shall specify which
one of the following methods will be used to determine the lowest bid"
The bid solicitation for this project did not include the method for evaluation of the lowest bidder — agar
resulting to a default award by comparison of base bid only as outlined in Paragraph 1 of Section 10 126.
Papih Construction respectfully requests that your office award PW-2008-08 based solely upon the base bid
for comparison purposes as previously outlined. To do so will be in compliance with California Public
Contract Code in addition to being the only logical means for evaluation.
Should any questions arise, please contact our office.

SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: REGARDING AGENDA ITEM 8.g.
DATE: MARCH 23, 2010
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council: 1) Re- introduce an Ordinance approving
Development Agreement 09 -002 with modifications; and 2) Amend the Lease
Agreement; 5 Cities Community Service Foundation.
On March 9, 2010, the City Council held a public hearing to consider introducing an
Ordinance approving Development Agreement 09 -002 for the construction of a
recreation center on a five -acre parcel at the corner of West Branch Street and Old
Ranch Road. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council voted 5 -0 to introduce
the Ordinance, as modified, approving Development Agreement 09 -002. The
Ordinance was placed on the agenda of the March 23, 2010 City Council meeting to
consider adoption. After publishing the staff report and Ordinance, it was found that
Section 5 of the Development Agreement was inconsistent with the intent to waive all
applicable City fees since this is a public facility project as discussed in the Financial
Impact section of the staff report dated March 9, 2010. Total estimated fees are
approximately $1 million dollars.
In order to rectify this situation, staff recommends the Council: 1) re- introduce the
Ordinance approving Development Agreement 09 -002 with modifications correcting
Section 5 to waive all applicable City fees (Attachment 1); and 2) amend the Lease
Agreement. Staff will schedule and re- notice a public hearing for the April 13, 2010
regular Council meeting for consideration of Ordinance adoption.

FROM: TERESA I ICCLISH, COMMUNITY ITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: PRESENTATION BY THE SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNCIL OF
GOVERNMENTS (SLOCOG) ON THE 2010 REGIONAL
TRANSP4RTION PLAN (RTP) UPDATE
DATE: MARCH 23, 2010
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the city council receive and file a presentation from representatives
of SLOCOG on the 2010 Regional Transportation Plan I TP update and provide
direction to staff regarding City comments n the plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no projected financial impact to the City. However, the 2010 RTP update
integrates components of SB375 S 375 Sustainable Communities Strategy that may affect
future state and federal transportation funding that is programmed by SLOCOG, limiting
transportation system expansions particularly in fringe areas in favor of focusing funding
primarily in existing commercial and multifamily areas (such as risco load
Interchange) and on transportation system operational and demand and management
efforts.
BACKGROUND:
SLOCOG staff has prepared a report to the SLOCOG Board describing the 2010 F TP
update that is used to conduct long -range transportation planning on a regional basis
(Attachment 1). The update is being prepared with major emphasis on planning for
projected declining and less predictable revenues for transportation projects overall, and
compliance with requirements to reduce greenhouse gases through the linkage of
transportation and land use planning.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
Models were prepared to develop a "Preliminary sustainable Communities strategy"
{Preliminary SCS ) consistent with the Community 2050 Regional Blueprint and
evaluating a range o f future growth scenarios on a regional basis. Community 2050 is a
long range regional plan adopted by SLOCOG in December 2008 that focuses future
growth array from large -lot suburban sprawl (http://www.slocog.o[g/cm/CommuniIY2050.)
The recommended model strategy (scenario 2 ) represents the most ;;reasonably
anticipated" growth scenario and is based on the general plan strategies of each
jurisdiction. The range and descriptions of growth scenarios are more fully described in
Attachment 1.
Agenda Item 10.a.

PAGE 2
One of the key issues for the City is how the Williams and Fredericks Sphere of
Influence properties are treated. The City's General Plan identifies these areas for
limited future growth, but the inability to fund necessary transportation infrastructure
makes this questionable in the net 20 -gear period.
For the City of Arroyo Grande, target development areas were identified consistent with
the City's General Plan focusing on infill strategies within the multi- family areas and
mixed use corridors. SLOCOG scenario 1 includes fairly aggressive growth for the
areas at or beyond urban boundaries, for example within the City's sphere of Influence
that would include the 'Williams" and "Fredericks" properties at and outside the southern
City limits. scenario 2 SLOCOG recommended includes limited gro wth at these
fringe areas because these areas are not in the target development areas. scenarios 3
and 4 included assumptions of very limited or no development for this sphere of
Influence area for 2035 and requiring all growth be integrated within the target areas.
It should be noted that although the Preliminary SCs includes intensification of land
within the areas Identified by the City's General Plan, there will be future refinement of
the SCs in the future update of the 2010 I TP as to how much intensification is needed
to accommodate State housing allocation and accompanying jobs necessary to balance
that Dousing, and to what extent this places pressure to more intensely develop areas at
the fringe of the City in order to accommodate the numbers dictated by he state.
ALTERNATIVES:
— Provide comments and develop consensus directing staff to draft a comment
letter to SLOCG;
— Receive presentation but do not provide comments;
— Provide other direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
This item has been scheduled for City Council in order to inform the Community on
SL C G's proposed 2010 RTP update and the Preliminary SCS. The 2012 SCs will
be developed through a process that will include a series of countywide meetings to
evaluate future Dousing demand under the requirements of s35.
DISADVANTAGES:
There are no disadvantages identified as this is an information item only.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
SLOCOG is preparing a bequest for Proposals for the preparation of an Environmental
Impact Report in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: MARCH 3, 2010
SUBJECT: 2010 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Update
SUMMARY
This staff report provides background on the current RTP update and seeks to clarify questions raised in your
February meeting regarding the approach and structure of this required document. As noted, in February the
updated RTP's major changes are three -fold: 1 updated policies and programs, 2 major reduction in
revenues and their predictability, and integrating the thrust of the SB 375 Sustainable Comrrrunffies
Strategy (SCS) requirements that will be further refined by 2012 with the inclusion of the California Air
Resources Board ARB greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets that will be developed over the upcoming
year. This report uses a "frequently asked question " format to try and simplify the context and issues of the
RTP Update effort and the integration of the rand use - transportation connection that is the focus of the
Sustainable Comm nfties Strategy as well as the very challenging funding environment that will heavily
constrain Our ability to maintain and expand our transportation network, transit services, as Drell as the demand
and system management efforts.

BACKGROUND
D
Regional Transportation Plan Update
The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), also called along -Range Transportation Plan is the mechanism
used in California by both Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MP Os) and Regional Transportation Planning
Agencies RTPA to conduct long -range minimum of 20 years) planning in their- regions.
.... ............. mot}
Since the mid-1970s, with the passage of AB 69, (Chapter 1253, Statute of 10 '2) California state law has
required the preparation of RTPs to address transportation issues and assist local and Mate decision -
makers in shaping California's transportation infrastructure. The purpose of RTPs is to encourage and
promote the safe and efficient management, operation and development of a regional intermodal
transportation system that will serge the mobility creeds of goods and people. RTP Guidelines are provided
by the California Transportation Commission CTC to provide guidance so that MP Os and RTPAs will
develop their RTPs to be consistent with Federal and Mate transportation planning requirements. The CTC
is currently updating these guidelines to include the SB 375 emphasis on the SCs and GHG reduction
strategies.
This is important because State statutes require that RTPs serge as the foundation of the Federal
Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). The FTIPs are prepared by MPOs and identify the next four
years of transportation projects to be funded for construction. The CTC cannot program projects that are not
identified in an up -t -date RTP. The SLOCG RTP must be u gdated in 2010 to be el ig 'ible to receive state
and federal transpgrtation funding — millions of dollars in 12 at stake.
DISCUSSION
Intermoda! Systems Emphasis: The 2005 Regional Transportation Plan Vis orr 2025) was developed with
an emphasis on a balanced system wide approach for all modes of transportation including: highways,
streets and roads; public transportation; non - motorized transportation improvements and transportation
demand and system management efforts.
B - -1 Agenda Item 10.a.
Page 4
Balanced investment Vi 2025 (2005 RTP) was also developed under a `funding scenario' that
presents a balanced investment in highways, streets, and roads; public transportation; and non - motorized
transportation improvements.
E g u itable dis ribut on between mode and agggraphic area: Vision 2025 (2005 RTP ) also identifies
transportation improvements that are distributed equitably across all modes of transportation and
distributed geographically across the region.
Funding constrained: Three basic revenue forecast scenarios were developed for Vi sion 2025:
1. "Financially Constrained" scenario - the "R easona bly Expected Revenue scenario based only on
current sources and levels of federal, state, and local transportation revenue projected out to the
year 2025.;
2. Reasonably Expected Revenue scenario - ; (the scenario selected as the basis for Vision 2025) is
based on current sources and levels of federal, state, and local transportation revenue projected
to the year 2025 and includes some additional sources of transportation revenue that are
expected to become available in 2025, including higher levels of state and federal discretionary
funds, and minor increases in state and federal gas taxes based on historical treads and,
3. "supplemental Revenue scenario - includes additional revenue options, including a local option
sales tax and other potential revenue sources, to fully fund the desired list of transportation
system improvements.
Lanai use corm onent — smart growth principles: Vision 2025 (2005 RTP ) fosters the integration of smart
growth land uses and transportation facilities in communities across the region. The land use component
of Vision 2525 focuses on the following major objectives:
1. Design communities to be more multi -modal and less auto - dependent;
2. Promote the use of integrated modes of travel that provides seamless transportation options;
3 . Encourage the use of bicycling, walling, and transit;
4 . Enhance I nterodal and multi -modal connectivity; and
5. Provide smart growth principles for future land use development.

1. Revenues have declined dramatically:
o Decrease in the amount of dedicated funding and predictability
o Key impact areas:
■ significant decrease in f unding for highway and roadway expansion
■ No regional funding for street and road maintenance
■ Flat or decreased funding for transit
■ Nominal increase in f unding for livable communities, transportation enhancements and TDM
2. New state requirements — SB 375 in 2012):
Transportation planning and land use planning became more closely linked following the
passage of SB 375 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008) in September 2008. As a result of this
legislation, the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) has become a new priority in the
transportation planning process in addition to: improving transportation mobility; assuring a
fiscally constrained plan. The RTP must now ensure that the regional transportation system
addresses local, regional and statewide mobility and economic needs through the
development of a Sustainable Communities Strategy.

• Addressing revenues and expenditures ("follow the money”
o Focus on system interco and Operational efficiency
o Focus on livable communitie
o Very limited funding on highway and roadway system expansion
By developing a `Prelr'm nary' Sus ainable Communities strategy SCS) Our objective is to integrate
the principles of the Community 2050 Regional Blueprint; influence the AB32 greenhouse gas
reduction targets for our area; model transportation and land use patterns under different development
and investment scenarios and provide a transition to the new requirements.

What is reliminary Sustainable C rrr #?'1# rifts Strategy
The Preliminary Sustainable Commun tfe Strategy SCS) is meant to identify a preferred way to
accommodate anticipated growth in the region. As part of the process, several land use scenarios are
considered to demonstrate how differing patterns of growth impact the region's resources, particularly the
transportation system. Land use and traffic modeling tools are utilized to estimate these different impacts and
help demonstrate to elected officials and the public how different ways to grow will impact Our region's
transportation system in the future.
., re v *• :
• The Community 2050 Regional Growth Strategy, developed over several years of public input, was used
as a starting point to identify target growth areas within each city and urban areas within the County
consistent with the strategic growth principles identified in Community 2050. SL e G staff worked with
planning staff from member jurisdictions in order to share general plan and zoning data and assure that
land use assumptions were appropriate and consistent with each community's General Plan. Land use
modeling software was used to allocate future growth and produce statistical data that is used in the traffic
model. staff also updated and continued to improve the specificity of the Regional Traffic Model to
produce results that are then used to calculate greenhouse gas generation levels using software that is
provided by the Air Resources Board.
• The preliminary results were reviewed by a Working Team comprised of staff from SL a G, the county
Air Pollution Control District APCD , Local Agency Formation Commission LAFC and member
jurisdictions) to help shape the development of land use alternative scenarios as part of the Preliminary
Sustainable Communities Strategy.
• A Joint Policy Committee (comprised of two SLOCOG Board members, one board member each from
APCD, LAFC , the county, and one of the seven cities) was formed to provide guidance for the process
of developing the Preliminary Sustainable Communities Strategy.

The long -range population and employment forecast for the region completed in 2006 by Economic Research
Associates for SLOG was updated in May 2000 to reflect the changing economic conditions. The region's
population is estimated to increase by abut 61 ,000 people by 2036, from 269,300 in 2008 to 330,800 in 2036.
This is a moderate population growth rate of less than 1 percent per gear. It is projected that the region will
need 26,000 new housing units to accommodate this population growth. The region is anticipated to add
36,100 jobs to the region's work force, from 103,000 jobs in 2006 to 138 100 in 2036, an 'increase of about 1
percent per year over the next 25 years.
..........
Four scenarios were developed as part of the PSCS process. The Joint Policy Committee supported
Scenario 2 as the "recommended scenario" for adoption. Scenarios 3 and 4 evaluated further
intensification and were not considered to be realistic or achievable for growth in the reg ion and were
reiected. scenarios 1 and 2 are briefly described below.
Scenario 1 assumes a future development pattern that follows the trends of the recent past, which is a row
density development pattern throughout the region. Generally, new development has occurred in an
outward growth pattern, with limited reinvestment in existing commercial corridors. This scenario also
assumes development in the rural unincorporated area continues at its present pace.
Scenario 2 assumes intensification within the Target Development Areas, which are the existing
c ommercial corridors and nodes throughout the county. Twenty percent of new residential units are
accommodated in mixed -use development along these commercial corridors. The scenario also assumes
some reduction in the scale of proposed land use projects that are outside county communities and city
spheres of influence. This scenario assumes development continues to occur in the rural unincorporated
area to a lesser degree than in Scenario I
Lard Use Model Indicators
The land use modeling process produces a set of land use indicators, including residential density, housing
mix, and change in developed acres. An abbreviated set of land use modeling results are presented here.

The short answer is - 2robably not much. Each jurisdiction's g eneral 12 1an will continue as it is — under the
control and direction of the resl2ective governina boards of each 'urisdiction.
The PSCS will help shape SL C G's 2010 I TP and decisions regarding transportation funding allocations
by placing a higher priority on projects that serve the Target Development Areas i.e. the commercial and
multifamily areas of each community) and less emphasis on the outlying fringe areas. The interrn dal
emphasis maintaining an interconnected and balanced transportation network) of the I TP will remain.
Limited funding will likely have a much greater iml2act on our abilily to maintain service levels. The 121an will
likely be increasing the transl2ortation demand and manaciement efforts as a means to hell2 reduce demand
and system ca aci in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Little to no funding is l2rojected for
system ._expansion. We also believe that the emphasis on investments in the existing commercial and
multifamily areas is the hest economic strategy that will help improve and maintain our communities as well
as provide better series for or residents and visitors.

Next Steps (Post 2014 RTP)
The more fully developed ses that will be developed following the establishment of AB GHG reduction
targets that will become effective at the end of the year. The SCS will be developed through a process that
requires a new series of countywide meetings that will take a look at how we have been able to integrate
the PSCS elements into our transportation planning process and how the various jurisdictions are seeing
their respective futures in light of a more thorough analysis of housing demand. Inteciration of long term
housing demand will likely have the greatest impact in the subsequent SS 875 compliant F TP for SL e G
and its member agencies
Under SB 075 SLOCOG is required to prepare an SCS as part of the f TP addressing the following areas:
• Identification of general land uses, residential densities, and building intensities within the region.
The SCS shall set forth a forecasted development pattern for the region, which, when integrated with
the transportation network, and other transportation measures and policies, will reduce the regional
greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles and light trucks to achieve, if feasible, the regional
greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets approved by the California Air Resources Board.
• In addition the SCS must identify areas within the region sufficient to house all of the current and
projected population of the region, including all economic segments, Over the course of the planning
period of the Regional Transportation Plan. "All economic segments" means the extremely low, very
low, low, moderate, and above moderate income categories, as those categories are defined and
used for purposes of the region's Regional Housing Needs Assessment pursuant to Section 85584 of
the Government code. Areas sufficient to house" could mean an aggregate number of acres
designated at densities consistent with Section 5580.2c0b of the Government code to
accommodate the housing needs of very low and low income households.
SB 375 and the new CTC guidelines mandate the programming of revenues to farther advance the
adopted SCS.
• In projecting future housing creeds, SLOCOG must take into account net migration into the region,
population growth, household formation, and employment growth. The SCS is required to identify
areas within SL e G boundary sufficient to house the projection of the Regional Housing Needs
Allocation I HNA as established pursuant to Housing Element Law Govern ment Code 85584) and
in consultation with the California Department of Housing and Community Development HCD .
The allocation of the region's housing creeds must be consistent with the development pattern
contained within the SCS Go eminent code Section 85584.01 i ) (1). State housing goals as
specified in Government Code sections 85500 and 85581 must be considered in the SCS.
,wnwnwi*i8 1
If SL c G does not adequately address the requirements of s 0 5 transportation funding will be
withheld.
In addition, SB 075 requires that future voter initiatives for transportation funding will need to demonstrate
that the proposed projects are consistent with the SCS. SLOCOG would be unable to proceed with a
legally defensible local option supplemental funding program without an I TP that is SB 375-compliant.

ANALYSIS of ISSUES:
Fly 2009-10
The City is once again faced with a significant decrease in revenue. Staff is estimating that
actual revenues will be approximately $300,000 less than the adopted 2009-10 budget. The
main decreases are in Sales Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, children in Motion and Expense
recovery revenue. In addition, due to recent layoffs, estimated unemployment costs gill be
approximately $64,000 more than budgeted. Staff is recommending that this shortfall be
addressed with salary savings due to several vacant positions and departmental savings
(these are explained in detail on pages 9-10 in the attached Mid Year Budget Report). . A
hold has been issued on many equipment purchases travel, and limited remaining
expenditures to only those essential for the remainder of the year.
The current bg k eted General Fund Balance for June 30, 201 g is $2,1128,996, an increase of
$358,323 from the projected fund balance of $1,770,672 published in the FY 2009 -1
Budget. The Fund Balance is projected to be at 15% of appropriations.
As part of the I'lllid Year process, staff was asked to review their current budgets and
determine if any adjustments are required. Due to the current economic climate, staff is only
recommend i g /reporting minor adjustments to the General Fund Departmental budgets, one
of which has already been approved by council. They consist of the following:
1. The increase in Fire Strike Team revenue of $86,760. Staff is recommending that Fire
salary expense be increased by $86,760.
2. An increase of $196,598 for the Police "Avoid the 14 DUI Campaign" grant.
Fy 2n1 -11
When the current two -year budget was adopted, a shortfall of approximately $625,000 was
projected for FY 2010 -11. The majority of staff effort at that time was aired at addressing a
shortfall of app ro cirnately $2 million in FY 2009-10. It was agreed to address the deficit in the
second year of the budget after additional iinformation regarding revenues was obtained and
staff had more time to develop additional funding strategies.
Updated projections have increased the expected deficit to approximately $830,000. The
increase in the shortfall is due to a continued drop in projected sales tax revenues, funds that
were budgeted for a Federal grant for the Police School Resource Officer position that was
not approved, and a decrease that has been experienced in the Children in Motion childcare
program revenue. Building and development permit revenue is projected to increase b
approximately ately $30,000 over original projections.

longer be necessary. This will enable the City to deprogram $550,000 in General Fund
monies for this project. It is projected that $200,000 will be necessary to address the
decrease in revenues in Fly 2009-10. The remainder will be carried over to FY 2010 -11.
Labor contracts are being renegotiated in an attempt to delay the majority of salary
increases budgeted in FY 2010 -11.
recent vacancy has occurred in a Water Services Maintenance Worker position. It is
proposed to transfer a Parks Maintenance Worker to fill the vacancy, transfer the
Building Maintenance Worker to Parks, and reduce the Building Maintenance function to
a part -time position.
In order to eliminate the majority of subsidy for the Children in Motion program, it is
proposed to layoff and eliminate one full -time Child Care Coordinator position.
A decrease is proposed in engineering services by reducing contractual services and
delaying filling of a full - time Engineering Associate position by maintaining it as a part-
time position to at least January 1, 2011.
•
Efforts with the County regarding animal services costs are projected to result in a
$40,000 decrease to the animal services budget.
It is proposed to maintain a vacancy in the Neighborhood Services Coordinator position
by reassigning code enforcement responsibilities to existing Community Development
and Police staff.
The Police Department is working on reducing the number of officers classified as

City of Arroyo Grande
Mid -Year Budget - 2009/2010 March 23,2010
Overview
The City's. Mid- Deport is prepared to compare the revenues and expenditures occurring during the first sic months
of the fiscal year against budgeted amounts to determine appropriate adjustments; to report on departmental
accomplishments; to provide links between the City budget, the financial records, and the independent financial audit;
and to compare revenues earned and expenses made during the first sic months of the 2009 - Fiscal Year against the FY
2008-09 figures. This information is provided in the following forrnat:
Schedule A: The starting point is the audited 200 8 -09 Fiscal Year ending fund balances, which is also the beginning
Unreserved Fund balances for the 2009 -10 Fiscal Year. Combining the be ` g Unreserved Fund Balances with
the estimated revenues, transfers, and appropriations adopted in the Annual Budget and the 15t Quarter report,
provides the estimated fund balances.
A s a result of a comprehensive review, adjustments are recommended where actual receipts and d are
materially different from the budgeted amounts. Although budget adjustments are recommended across several City
funds, the emphasis of the Mid -Year budget Report continues to be directed at the General Fund. The General fund is
deemed to b e the most critical as it provides most services commonly associated with government (public safety,
recreation, parks, building, and planning) and is limited primarily by tax-generated revenues.
Summary of Key Points
The total Citywide Fund balance reported at June 30, 2009 was $35,651,7 This is an increase of approximately
$727,855 over June 30, 200 8. The beginning Gen Fund balance is $2,191,544, which was an increase of $149,155
from the prior year and was 1 % of General Fund appropriations at year -end. The audited Fund Balances reported in
e� the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) h ve been incor orated into the be 'nnin fund balances on
p p p beg inning
Schedule A. There is one adjustment to the beginnIng fund balances that is different from the CAFR. The adjustment
was to subtract the Fixed Asset balance of $9,670,367 from the Water Fund in order to reflect a more accurate cash
PIP, fund balance.

City of Arroyo Grande
Mid -Year Budget Report - 2009/2010 March 23, 2010
• The current projected available General Fund Balance for June 30, 2009 is $2,128,995, an increase of $358,323 from the
projected fund balance of $1,770,672 published in the FY 2009- Budget. This fund balance is projected to e 15% of
appropriations, which meets the City Co fund balance goal. The increase in the projected fund balance is clue to
higher than expected savings in Fiscal Year 2008-09. The projected Fund Balance assumes revenues are received exactly
as budgeted, all budget expenditures are made, and all capital transfers required by the CIP Program are completed.
Historically, the General Fund has not been required to fund all budgeted capital transfers and expenditures at year -
end are traditionally less than budgeted.
The Management Deporting System Status Deport is presented as a separate section at the end of this report. This
provides a summa of what individual departments have accomplished during the year. Also reported are the key
issues and work efforts in progress that wfll continue into the remaining quarters.

City of Arroyo Grande
Mid-Year Budget Report - 2009/10 March 23,2010
General Fund Revenues
With half o the year complete, the total General Fund revenue is at 33 %. This is below % for several reasons. The
County of San Luis Obispo withheld $287,027 in property takes in order to pay the State loan in January. The Ci
participated in the Prop 1A securiti ati n program and receiv the first payment in January. The rnld -year revenue only
includes four months of Sales Tax revenue and was shoving a 2% decline. However, after meeting with the City sales
tax consultant from Hinderliter de Llamas and Associates (H DL) in February it was determined that the estimated Sales
Tax decrease will be % o r $1 70,000 below what the City budgeted. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue is for f ive
months and is currently down 10 whe compared to the prior year and 7 % when com pared to the current budget. The
majority o this decrease is due to the delay in completing the Hampton Inn. Franchise Fee revenue only includes five
months of revenue. Children in Motion revenues are de l�ning drastically due to a drop in enrollment. The ,I ovember
and December reimbursement payments for the Battalion Chief and Fire Chief were not received until January. The Ci
currently has $x.,000,000 budgeted for the sale of the Pearwood property, this property has not been sold as of this report.
Finally, the triple flip amounts for sales to $265,032 and VLF $618,81x. were not received until January.
A s part of the Mid-Year Report, adjustments are recommended t revenue u ets when mathematical calculati
comparing current year revenues With p rior year revenues su ggest that either a signific ov erage or underage may
o ccur at year - end. Below are the major revenue variances:
1 TOT is down $32,000 w hen compared to the prior year. The Hampton Inn is not anticipated to open before the
end of this fiscal gear; therefore, staff is estima that this revenue will be approximately $50,000 below budget.
2 Children in Motion re are showing a sharp decline d ue to a drop in enrollment. This revenue source i s
estimated to be approximately $100,000 below the $422,000 that is budgeted. The current budgeted cost of this
program is $426,073. This would amount to the City subside rng this program by approximately $104,000.
ca
3 Sales tax revenues continue to decline. When adopting the FCC 2009 -10 budget, staff reduced Sales Tax % below
a what was received in FCC 2008-09. The City sales tax consultant, H L, is estimating that the Citys saps tax will
decrease an additional 6% or $170,000. Fo a total decrease of approxintately $340,000 when compared to the p rior
y ear.

Mid.-Year Budget Report - 2009/10 March 23, 2010
4) When staff prepared the FCC 2009-10 budget, it was anticipated that the City would receive a Police grant of
approximately $80,000. However, funding for this grant was discontinued after the City budg was adopted.
5 Several smaller revenue sources are actually corning in higher than budgeted. It is anticipated that these revenues
will come in approximately $x.00,000 more than budgeted at year end.
Although not a revenue source, the City has seen an increase in unemployment costs due to the recent lay offs. The total
cost is estimated to be approximately $74,000 or $64,000 over budget. This variance was included in Staff's b
g
shortfall strategies that are listed below. The net effect of these variances equals a $364,000 shortfall.
Staff has delayed presenting this report until it was determined how to address this budg shortfall. Staff is
recommending the following.
1 Currently, the Police department has a Police Sergeant vacancy. This position has been vacant since December.
Staff is recommending that this position be held vacant until the end of the fiscal year. This will result in an
estimated savings of $50,000.
