MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KERRY McCANTS
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF CONDITION OF APPROVAL NO. 56 FOR
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP CASE NO. 99-003 AND PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT CASE NO. 99-003 REGARDING THE
UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES; 1171 ASH STREET
DATE: JUL Y 25, 2000
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution upholding
the decision of the Planning Commission of June 6, 2000 to require certain existing
overhead public utilities to be placed underground. Staff further recommends that
language be added to Condition of Approval No. 19 regarding tree protection
measures for underground utility trenching.
FUNDING:
No fiscal impact.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission approved Tentative Parcel Map 99-003 and Planned Unit
Development 99-003 on June 6, 2000 to subdivide a half-acre parcel into three
lots and construct two separate single-family residences (reference Attachment 3
for Planning Commission meeting minutes). A single-family residence currently
exists on the property that will remain.
The Conditions of Approval for the project required the applicant to place certain
overhead utilities underground. Specifically, Condition No. 56 requires that
"existing overhead public utilities on site shall be placed underground, as shown in
Exhibit A, " (reference
Attachment 4). The Planning Commission modified Condition No. 56 to relieve the
applicant from removing three (3) utility poles and undergrounding approximately
half of the overhead wires (reference Attachments 5 and 6).
APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT AND RESPONSE BY STAFF:
The appeal document filed by the applicant (Attachment 1) sets forth the reasons
for the appeal. For the Council's convenience, the reasons supporting the appeal
stated by the applicant are listed below in italics, followed by the staff response.

1. The neighbor located at 1177 Ash Street will refuse us access onto her
property for purposes of updating her service.
Staff Response
Staff discussed this item with the neighbor, Mrs. Boswell, whose property is
located at 1177 Ash Street. Mrs. Boswell did not express any opposition to
undergrounding along the driveway. However, she did express concern about the
1 8" diameter oak tree located on her property and the damage that utility trenching
could have on it. In response to her concern, staff recommends that the following
language be added to Condition of Approval No. 19 to ensure that proper tree
protection measures are used during the trenching of utilities (new language is
shown highlighted):
19. The applicant shall comply with the provisions of Ordinance 431 C.S., the
Community Tree Ordinance.
2. / feel that I am being unfairly discriminated against as the power I will be
forced to underground services a new senior housing complex and two
existing residences that are not part of our project. /t is my opinion that
Public Works should have made the senior complex underground this service
at the time of their approval. The financial strain of this requirement would
make this proposed project unfeasible.
Staff Response
Development Code Section 9-15-050 requires all above ground utilities to be placed
underground when the following circumstances exist for any proposed subdivision
or discretionary land use project (reference Attachment 8):
1. Utilities provide direct service to the property being developed;
2. Utilities are existing and located within the boundaries of the property being
developed;
3. Utilities are existing between the property line and the centerline of the
peripheral streets of the property being developed; or
4. Utilities are located along or within six (6) feet of the rear or side lot lines of
the property to be developed.

Page 3 of 3
The project site contains a total of three (3) utility poles and associated overhead
utility wires along the front and west property lines that are subject to the above
requirement. Per the Development Code, the draft conditions of approval required
all three (3) utility poles to be removed and all associated overhead utilities placed
underground. After receiving public input and reviewing the written request from
the applicant to waive the undergrounding requirement (reference Attachment 9),
the Planning Commission granted an exception by allowing all three (3) poles and
approximately half of the overhead utilities to remain.
Exceptions can be made to this utilities undergrounding requirement on an
administrative level if it can be determined that "topographic soil, or any other
conditions, render underground placement impractical or infeasible." The Public
Works Director and Community Development Director reviewed the request and
determined that the undergrounding requirement was not "impractical" or
"infeasible. "
The senior housing project referenced in the applicant's above statement (Self-Help
Housing, approved in July of 1 994) is located southwest of the subject property
(reference Attachment 7). All new public utilities were installed underground per
the Development Code. However, the project was not conditioned to place the
existing overhead utilities located along the rear property line underground. It is
staff's assumption that the Development Code was interpreted more liberally at the
time the project was approved.

to make these kinds of decisions?
Mr. Campbell replied that staff, after reviewing the Development Code and discus. g this issue,
believed that the power that is granted to the Community Development Director nd the Director
of Public Works is very limited. Their ability to grant an exception can only b ased on the fact
that, because of issues like topography, it is infeasible to do the undergrou Cling. As far as the
Planning Commission's authority, staff has looked at the General Except' n capability under the
standards of land division on page 93 as giving the Commission e authority to approve
exceptions to standards.
The Planning Commissioners discussed the project and stated at they were in favor of the
project and also in favor of granting the exception to undergro ding the utilities.
Chair Greene asked that Condition of Approval #32 reg ing the overhead utilities, in view of
the fact that the Planning Commission has the discre . n, be amended to permit the overhead
line to remain.
Staff stated that they would modify the Exhibit hich the Condition refers to so that it would
reflect the Planning Commission's wishes.
Commissioner Costello moved that the PI ning Commission adopt:

Kelly Heffernon, Associate Planner, stated that the project site is located on the south side of Ash
Street between South Elm and Walnut Streets, and is roughly a half-acre in size. A single-family
residence exists on the front portion of the property, which is proposed to remain. One 24"
diameter oak tree also exists on the site that appears to be in excellent health. The applicant has
ARROYO GRANDE PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES

indicated that he will try to avoid tree removal, however staff recommends that this issue be
settled with more certainty tonight.
She said that the applicant was requesting approval of a Tentative Parcel Map and Planned Unit
Development to create three parcels and construct two new single-family residences. A 20-foot
wide shared driveway would access the two new lots to the rear of the property.
Ms Heffernon stated that the property is located within the CondominiumlTownhouse zoning
district, which is intended for development of small lot single-family and multi-family residential
dwelling units with a maximum density of 9 dwelling units per acre. The applicant was proposing 3
units on a half-acre site, which is within the allowable density.
The applicant is seeking approval of a Planned Unit Development to deviate from the minimum lot
size, lot depth, lot width and setback requirements of the Development Code. The project meets all
other Development Code requirements, such as the maximum lot coverage, number of guest
parking spaces and amount of private open space.
Finally, Ms. Heffernon stated that the applicant was also seeking an exception from the
Development Code regarding the Undergrounding of utilities. A total of 3 utility poles and
related overhead wires are subject to the undergrounding requirement. The Development Code
does offer some relief to this requirement if the Public Works Director and Community
Development Director determine that certain conditions cause the undergrounding of utilities
"impractical" or "infeasible". Both the Public Works Director and Community Development
Director have reviewed the applicant's request and concluded that the undergrounding
requirement is not "impractical" or "infeasible". The applicant is requesting that the Planning
Commission consider the circumstances outlined in the letter and grant the exception. The
objection is based primarily on financial reasons, stating that the Undergrounding costs would
render this project infeasible.
To date, staff has received one letter in response to the public hearing notice, which is included in
the staff report as Attachment 6. Owners of the property located behind the project site are
concerned primarily with the narrow access and future development potential of their property.
They feel that the proposed access and orientation of the residence on parcel 3 would prohibit
them from developing their property to its full multiple-family use. Staff spoke with the City Fire
Chief regarding the situation who stated that the neighbor's access would be sufficient so long as
all of the units are fully sprinkled.
In closing, Ms. Heffernon stated that staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
Resolution No. 00-1745, approving Tentative Parcel Map 99-003 and Planned Unit Development
99-003, subject the conditions of approval.
Commissioner Keen stated that the subject parcel was only 110 by 120 square feet. He asked
if this was too small to subdivide? Also on page five (5) of seven (7) of the staff report it stated
that one of the set backs on Parcel 3, is 3 feet. He asked if this was on the back property line
or on the interior/side line between the two newly proposed residences?
Ms. Heffernon stated that it was the back property line.

Ms. Heffernon stated that she did not know if wood burning fireplaces were allowed.
Ms. Parker had a question about Conditions of Approval, Numbers 35 and 37. These two
conditions dealt with curb and gutters and the widening of Ash Street, respectively. She asked
what they needed to improve on Ash Street? She also stated that the Conditions of Approval
required a street tree maintenance easement. She asked if there was such an easement on Ash
Street?
Craig Campbell, Public Works Department, stated that this was being required to improve the
line up with the existing curb and gutters. With regard to the street tree maintenance easement,
Mr. Campbell stated that this was required with any new subdivision and that this requirement
started about twelve years ago.
Commissioner Costello stated that the development would have five (5) retention basins on it.
He inquired what the depth of these basins would be and where the water would go from the
retention basins?
Mr. Campbell replied that these were infiltration basins. He stated that the applicant had
calculated the depth of the basins, which would be one-half foot to two (2) feet deep.
Commissioner London asked if the driveway was an easement or was it owned by the property
behind? He stated that the owner of the property had expressed some concern that the fence
footings could present a problem as far as the drainage. Is there something in the drainage plans
that address this problem? Furthermore, the property owner is concerned about this project
encroaching on his property. Is this a valid concern?
Mr. Campbell stated that the project as designed would capture all the drainage in the proposed
basins . The natural drainage is from the subject property to the property in the rear and
therefore this fence would not present a problem. With regards to any encroachment by this
project, this project approval does not include any approval to encroachment on the driveway.
Chair Greene stated, with regards to the undergrounding of utilities, that it was his
understanding that the proposal was to remove the pole at the southwest corner of the parcel.
Then the wires running along the property line of 11 69 and the adjoining property would be put
underground to the existing pole. That pole would remain. Mr. Greene asked if this was
correct? He also asked if Mr. Campbell would summarize the applicant's objections to this
proposal.
Mr. Campbell explained where the wires would be placed underground. He went on to say that
that the applicant felt this would be an excessive financial burden to do the undergrounding
along the west property line for both poles one (1) and two (2).
Chair Greene asked Ms. Heffernon about the Oak tree that the applicant feels might have to be
removed to build a patio? Mr. Greene referred to sheet A-1 of the submitted plans for the site

and floor plan for Parcel 2. He stated that at the top of the plans there is an Oak tree noted and
asked if this was the tree staff was referring too?
Ms. Heffernon stated the tree Mr. Greene referred to was the one staff was referring to, and
that staff was not clear about what the applicant was proposing. Staff was asking the applicant
to clarify this.
Mr. Greene asked Ms. Heffernon what type of clarification staff was looking for and where in
the Conditions of Approval this should be placed?
Ms. Heffernon stated that if the applicant was proposing to remove the tree then staff would
like a condition that states that the applicant is required to replace the tree at a three (3) to one
(1) ratio. Staff would like the landscape plan to reflect exactly where the replacement trees
would be put. If the tree is to be retained, then staff would like tree protection measures
observed.
Mr. Green asked if the patio was not installed, could the tree be saved?
Ms. Heffernon stated that she felt that the applicant could best answer the question.
Commissioner London asked where the proposed driveway was to be installed? He also asked
where the utility poles would be on the property?
Ms. Heffernon stated that the proposed driveway was on the west side of the property and the
existing driveway borders the east side of the property. The poles are on the property line
adjacent to the newly proposed driveway.
Commissioner Costello asked what other development is likely in this area that would be
required to underground utility poles?
Mr. Campbell stated that this area is mostly built out and he did not see any development in the
near future that would be required to underground any utilities.
Mr. Costello asked what the ratio of lot coverage would be if the covered patio was installed?
Ms. Heffernon stated that the patio was not included in t~e plans at this point and if it exceeded
the maximum allowed it would be included as part of the PUD deviation.
Chair Greene opened the Public Hearing.
Tim Tiessen. 725 Shell Beach Road, Shell Beach, architect for the applicant gave a brief history
of the project. He explained that the issue of the overhead utilities was addressed at the SAC
meeting as well as site drainage. He explained to the Planning Commission that the site
drainage was dealt with by stepping the garages and placing down spouts to the driveway and
having the driveway drain toward the street. This way the neighbor to the rear of the project
would not be effected. The existing residence does drain onto the rear property now, however,
this will be rectified with the new project design.

Mr. Tiessen stated that the biggest issue was the undergrounding and he did not feel this was
ever resolved. Staff informed the applicant that he could write a letter to the Planning
Commission asking for some relief from the undergroundihg. Staff explained that it was not in
their jurisdiction to waive the undergrounding request. Mr. Tiessen stated that had he known
that this letter was going to be presented at the Planning Commission meeting he would have
gone into more depth with his explanations. On Friday, when the applicant received the staff
report was the first time that they had seen Exhibit A showing the underground requirements
that staff was requiring.
Mr. Tiessen handed out an exhibit to the Planning Commission that he felt better explained the
utility poles and wires and would help him explain the reasons the applicant was requesting a
waiver.
Mr. Tiessen stated the following reasons the applicant was asking for the condition to be
waived:
. A very substantial transformer serves the existing adjacent Senior Housing. The applicant
felt that these wires should have been placed underground when the senior housing was
built. It should not be Mr. Sutton's responsibility at this point to do this.
. The line on Ash Street would require Mr. Sutton to underground the utilities on the existing
neighboring residence. The owner of this residence has made it very clear that she does not
want anyone coming onto her property and doing any construction.
. The applicant has met with P.G. & E. and discussed the cost of doing the undergrounding
which he, Mr. Sutton, will discuss with the Planning Commission.
. At the extreme north end of Ash Street, there is an existing pole with a large transformer
which serves three-(3) residences, as well as the senior housing.
. Cost is a definite factor for the applicant.
As far as the covered porch which would be an addition onto the house on Parcel 2 is
concerned, the owner is stating that the Oak tree is not there, however the civil engineer is
saying it is. The patio could be removed if necessary.
Finally, Mr. Tiessen stated that the three (3) foot setback on Parcel 3 that was questioned is on
the north side of Parcel 3 and that is only in the area where the fireplace would be. To his
knowledge, this was allowed by the Development Code. Furthermore, the fireplaces will be gas.
Commissioner London stated that, in the diagram Mr. Tiessen handed out, the power lines cross
each other. Mr. London asked if they were both power poles and is one across Ash Street?
Mr. Tiessen stated that the one that paralleled Ash Street is telephone and cable and the one
across the street is the main power source. Mr. Tiessen further stated that to underground the
pole across Ash Street the applicant would be required to go underneath Ash Street and then
install a transformer and a vault at the right hand corner of one of the residences. Then they
would have to dig across the neighbor's property to the middle power pole and place another
transformer and vault within the neighbor's property and connect to the senior housing. The
applicant would also have to tie in to another neighbor's property.
Commissioner Keen stated that the undergrounding requirements were very clearly spelled out in
the Development Code. He stated that this could not have been sprung on the applicant at the
--

SAC meeting. To what extent did the applicant believe they had not been told exactly what had
to be done?
Mr. Tiessen stated that they did not know the full extent of the undergrounding until they had
seen the staff report on Friday.
In response to Commissioner Keen's question as to whether the applicant had a letter in writing
from P.G.&E. stating the cost of the undergrounding, Mr. Tiessen stated that P.G. & E. costs
would be in the range of $30,000 to $50,000 but that they refused to put anything in writing
until they have an engineered plan and a deposit.
Vice-Chair Parker asked if P.G.&E. had underground pipe in place already to run the wires
through so that the street would not have to be dug up?
Mr. Tiessen stated that P.G.&E. did not have anything in place to aid in undergrounding the
utilities on Ash Street.
Commissioner Costello expressed his concern about the inconsistent statements about the
existing Oak tree.
Chair Greene asked about Mr. Sutton's position about the request to underground the utilities
that run east/west on Ash Street?
Mr. Tiessen deferred the answer to that question to Mr. Sutton.
Mr. Greene asked if staff had had the opportunity to see the letter from Mrs. Boswell stating
that she did not want the utilities put underground on her property or the exhibit Mr. Tiessen had
distributed to the Commission?
Mr. Tiessen stated that staff had not seen this before tonight's meeting.
Bill Dver, 531 Oceanview, Grover Beach, representing the applicant stated that in the event that
the utilities had to be put underground on Parcel A, the subdivision Map Act allows the City to
acquire a right of way by eminent domain.
Commissioner Keen stated that to his knowledge the Planning Commission had never approved
individual drainage basins on private property. He said that there were very good reasons why
this had not been done. There would be no way of the City preventing the owner from filling it
in. He felt that the City should not approve these basins for this project. The City could
possibly end up being responsible for damage done if someone filled in a drainage basin and then
one of the other houses flooded. He felt that the applicant should be required to have the
property drain to the street.
Mr. Tiessen stated that the reason the project had been designed this way was because the
property slopes away from the road and the only way to fix this was to build a retaining wall at
the back of the property and bring in fill.
Bill Sutton, applicant, stated that he had had a meeting with the City and explained his
-
ARROYO GRANDE PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES
JUNE 6, 2000
PAGE 10
understanding of what he was required to do with the undergrounding of the utilities. He did not
have any problem moving the power lines if they were power lines only. However, because it
deals with the transformers, it was much more involved. He also stated that the next door
resident does not want her power put underground. Mr. Sutton stated that he did not have any
problem with moving the cable and phone lines.
Furthermore, Mr. Sutton stated that he had brought the undergrounding of the utilities to Mr.
Campbell's attention from the very beginning and he stated that he had told Mr. Campbell that if
he was going to have any problems with this issue to please notify him. Mr. Sutton stated that
he had never been notified. He also stated that he had told Ms. Heffernon that he had a letter
from the neighbor .
Mr. Sutton also addressed the drainage and stated that the proposed drainage was the best
solution they could come up with.
Commissioner Costello asked if it would be feasible to build just one house on the lot instead of
two? Also, he asked if the Commission allowed the poles to be left in place, would Mr. Sutton
put the wires underground?
Mr. Sutton replied that it would not be worth it to build just one house. And he would have no
problem in leaving the poles and putting the wires underground.
Commissioner Keen asked if the applicant would leave the Oak Tree? Also, he asked if Mr.
Sutton would consider undergrounding across the street and to the first pole so he would not
have any vaults.
Mr. Sutton replied that he would leave the Oak tree. Furthermore, if P.G. & E. would let him go
under Ash Street and go to the first pole, and if he did not have to put a vault in on the other
side of the street, he would not have any problem with doing that at all.
Commissioner London asked if Mr. Sutton agreed with Mr. Keen's idea for the undergrounding,
would he still consider undergrounding the cable and telephone?
Mr. Sutton replied that he would be happy to do that.
Commissioner London asked the purpose of the retention basins if most of the water was going
to come off the roofs of the garages and drain into the street? He also asked if it was possible
to cover the basins with a grate?
Mr. Sutton stated that Mr. Campbell and his engineer had come up with the idea of the basins
and he did not have an answer for Mr. London about that. He also stated that he felt it would
be a problem to cover them with grates as far as liability was concerned.
Commissioner Keen asked what the floor elevation of Parcel 1 was in relationship to the street?
Mr. Sutton replied that it is lower than the street.
Commissioner Keen asked what Mr. Sutton would think about raising the back two lots, putting

a retaining wall between them and then having them drain into the driveway.
Mr. Sutton replied that he felt that this would not look good from the street.
Don Thompson, 1677 Shell Beach Road, Pismo Beach, spoke in favor of the project.
Chair Greene closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Keen asked Mr. Campbell to address the drainage basins and how could they be
eliminated.
Mr. Campbell replied that Condition of Approval #47 allowed for a choice that either the project
will drain to the street, or that the applicant will provide storm water basins subject to certain
criteria. Mr. Campbell stated that the Planning Commission could decide to do away with the
basins however, the ramifications of this would be, that for the two new parcels, the applicant
would need to bring in fill and then Parcel 1 would have to be raised.
Vice-Chair Parker asked if it was possible to put a P.G.& E. line across the street and attach it to
the existing pole?
Commissioner Costello asked if fill was brought in for Parcels 2 and 3, and Parcel 1 was left as
it is below the level of the street, wouldn't the Planning Commission be making Parcel 1 a basin?
Mr. Campbell stated that the water on Parcel 1 would remain there and that a basin would have
to be built.
Chair Greene asked Mr. Campbell if he had had a chance to think over the issues Mr. Tiessen
and Mr. Sutton had raised with regards to the undergrounding of the utilities and the extensive
nature of what was required in relationship to staffs recommendations? Mr. Greene also asked
Mr. Campbell if, in his judgement, it was not impractical or unfeasible to do this.
Mr. Campbell stated that there is no question in staff's mind that the requirements are extensive
and there is also no exception that the requirements fall within the limits set by the Development
Code.
Chair Greene asked Mr. Campbell if, not withstanding all the new information, he felt
comfortable that staff's position was appropriate?
Mr. Campbell stated that staff felt this was the correct interpretation of the Development Code.
Mr. Greene stated that the letter from Ms. Boswell indicated that she did not want anyone on
her property placing utilities underground. If the utility pole that serves her property is removed,
how does the City deal with the property owner's objection?
Mr. Campbell stated that this was uncharted territory for him and it would be something that he
would have to discuss with the City's attorney.

Commissioner London asked if Mr. Sutton's proposal that he underground the wires to pole
number two (2) on the Exhibit A, and then underground the cable and phone, seemed feasible to
staff?
Mr. Campbell stated that he believed that it seemed feasible.
Commissioner Costello stated that he admires the desire that the City put as many utility wires
underground as possible. He feels that it is an appropriate measure that the City asks for this
and he also thinks it is appropriate that staff asked for the undergrounding to be done in
accordance with the Development Code.
Mr. Costello stated that this was a neighborhood where there would be very little additional
development and the existing lines would remain pretty much where they were at this point. He
then felt that he had to ask himself the question, what defines infeasible- or impractical and
when the Planning Commission should make a decision on what is an undue burden on an
applicant.
Mr. Costello said that the density in the surrounding neighborhood is Multi-Family and is similar
to what the project is however, he feels that they have pushed the envelope on the setbacks
and the lot width and the PUD is a means of adjusting to this and making the project fit.
Finally, Mr. Costello stated that he believed that this was a reasonable project and would have
only minor impacts to the area. He believes some sort of compromise could be reached if the
power was put under Ash Street to the existing poll and then provide service to Parcels 1, 2 and
3 with underground utilities. He believes this would be a reasonable solution.
Vice-Chair Parker stated that she had a question for staff. The Development Code states that
the minimum setback between residences is 10 feet. This project shows 8 feet between the
Parcel 2 home and Parcel 3 home with the fireplace in-between. Where is the setback actually
measured from?
Ms. Heffernon stated that if you wanted to get very technical you could do an average. Ms.
Heffernon also stated that the PUD process is all about deviations from the Development Code.
Ms. Heffernon said that she was under the assumption that the PUD process would allow this
deviation to occur.
Commissioner London stated that with the accommodation that Mr. Sutton is willing to make as
far as the issue with the undergrounding of the utilities, is a good compromise. He felt that this
was the type of housing that Arroyo Grande could use more of.
Commissioner Keen asked Mr. Sutton if, when he got the letter from Ms. Boswell, was she
concerned just about the area from the power poll to her house? Or, she doesn't think this
should be an easement where you could dig at all?
Mr. Sutton stated that the way Ms. Boswell explained it to him was that, because she is an
elderly lady, she did not want her house touched or anyone on her property doing anything to
the power. He further stated that he was concerned because one of the polls is halfway up on
ARROYO GRANDE PLANNING COMMISSION

her property and this is still going to take something from the City to get him permission to go
onto her property in order to do any digging.
Commissioner Keen went on to say that in respect to the undergrounding of the utilities, he
would like to change the Conditions of Approval to go across Ash St to pole number 2 and also
underground along the frontage of the property. As far as the Oak tree is concerned, Mr. Keen
wants the Oak tree saved.
Finally, as much as he hates to see the retention basins, he realizes that there is no choice but to
have them.
Vice-Chair Parker stated that in the Development Code Chapter 9-06, additional performance
standards for PUDs, E-3, it stated "building setbacks required by the underlying zoning district
may be reduced or waived for lots created through a PUD, provided the lot coverage
requirements for the district are met by the project. In no case shall the minimum separation
between buildings on adjacent less than 10 feet, or less than required by State law". "Except,
however, for adjacent lots where a common wall is a shared zero lot line ..."
Ms. Parker stated that this indicated to her that the Planning Commission could not approve a
project with a 3-foot setback.
Ms. Heffernon stated that on the left-hand side of Parcel 3 the setback is at 3 feet but the right-
hand side of Parcel 3 there is a five-foot setback. There is 10 feet between the buildings on
Parcel 2 and Parcel 3.
Vice-Chair Parker stated that she would like to see the Oak tree remain on the property.
Finally, she talked about the undergrounding of the utilities. She stated that the Planning
Commission had addressed this before and the Commission did not believe that cost was a
factor of whether or not to put the utilities underground. Regarding this situation, she
understood why pole number one in the back did not need to be put underground. She is in
favor of putting as many of the lines underground as possible in the front yards of the three
houses.
Chair Greene stated that staff and the Planning Commission had spent a lot of time tonight
deciding the issue of the undergrounding of the utilities and he did not feel that this needed to
be done. He said that he was disappointed because this project came before the Planning
Commission and the staff last year and all the problems with undergrounding the utilities should
have been ironed out at that time. He told the applicant that he was disappointed in how this
had been handled and he did not feel the applicant had any excuse by saying that they did not
know what the City was going to recommend. Mr. Greene stated that this should have been
resolved before tonight's meeting. Furthermore, Mr. Greene said that he did not like to have to
make these kind of judgement calls without having all the information with which to act on.
Mr. Greene stated that he did not know what the solution was to undergrounding the utilities, he
doesn't know how much it will cost, and he has no way of assessing whether this will make the
project financially unacceptable to the applicant, etc.

Finally, Mr. Greene stated that his initial idea was to. refer this back to the applicant and staff to
work out some kind of agreement. However, Mr. Greene said that after listening to the other
Commissioners, he has decided it would be best to consider the project.
It was Mr. Greene's understanding that by undergrounding from pole number 2 to pole number
3, leaving poles numbers 1 and 3, and by undergrounding the utilities east/west across the
driveway, this would be a satisfactory compromise. Mr. Greene stated that it is his objective to
support staff with the undergrounding issue because he believes overhead utilities are "blight"
and eliminating them makes the City a little more attractive. Mr. Greene said that he agrees
with staff that it is not infeasible or impractical to remove the poles, it just costs a lot of money.
Mr. Greene stated that he wanted the Oak tree identified on the plans.
Finally, Mr. Greene stated that he would like the language changed in Condition of Approval No.
21. It should be modified to read that the "24 inch Oak tree located on Parcel 2 shall be
retained and the covered patio should be modified to accommodate the Oak tree". Also,
Condition of Approval No. 56 should be amended to read that the existing overhead public
utilities on site shall be placed underground as shown in the amended Exhibit A.
Commissioner London asked if this included the undergrounding of the utilities to the existing
house? He was told that that was included.
Commissioner Keen moved that the Planning Commission adopt:

ARROYO GRANDE DEVELOPMENT CODE ATTACHMENT 8 CHAPTER 9-15
Section 9-15.050 Underground Utilities
Unless exempted by the Subdivision Map Act, the provisions of this Section,
regulating the location and installation of utilities, shall apply to all final tract and parcel maps,
lot line adjustments, and lot mergers created subsequent to enactment of this Title, as well as
to discretionary land use approvals of residential, commercial, or industrial developments not
involving a subdivision. However, where permitted by applicable law, the City Council may
require the undergrounding of utility lines as a condition to approval of an application for an
extension of time in which to complete and file a final subdivision map.
A. When Underground Installation is Required
Underground installation is required of all electrical distribution lines of less than one
hundred fifteen thousand (115,OOO) volts, telephone, cable antenna television and similar
service wire or cables which:
1. Provide direct service to the property being developed;or
2. Are existing and located within the boundaries of the property being
developed; or
3. Are existing between the property line and the centerline of the peripheral
streets of the property being developed; or
4. Are located along or within six feet of the rear or side lot lines of the property
to be developed.
B. Exceptions--Generally
The following exceptions shall apply:
1. Utility service poles may be placed in the area within six feet of the rear lot line
of the property to be developed for the sole purpose of terminating
underground facilities.
2. Temporary utilities along with necessary service poles, wires, and cables may
be permitted for the period during which authorized construction is continuing
for which valid building permits have been issued or for temporary uses which
comply with requirements of this Title, the Uniform Building Code, and other
applicable regulations.
3. Appurtenances and associated equipment including, but not limited to, surface-
mounted transformers, pedestal-mounted terminal boxes and meter cabinets,
and concealed ducts in an underground system, may be placed above ground.
C. Exceptions--Approval by City Engineer and Community Development Director
On the basis of a formal written request, and subject to the specific written approval
of the City Engineer and Community Development Director, further exceptions to the
provisions of this Section shall apply as follows:
Effective June 13, 1991
312
-----'
ARROYO GRANDE DEVELOPMENT CODE CHAPTER 9-15
1. Where it is determined that topographic soil, or any other conditions render
underground placement impractical or infeasible.
2. In residential areas where utility service poles presently exist along or near rear
lot lines, overhead utility lines to serve residential structures may be permitted.
(This exception may be applied to existing subdivided property where building
permits have not been issued, but shall not apply to new residential
subdivisions) .
D. Nonconforming Structures
Buildings and structures, that on the effective date of this Title, or any subsequent
amendments thereto, are nonconforming in regard to above ground on-site utility lines, may
continue to be used, altered or enlarged in the same manner, as if such nonconforming utility
lines did not exist. However, when said building or structures are enlarged over two
thousand five hundred square feet in area, or when alteration or enlargement requires the
installation of utility lines at new locations on the building or structure, or when existing
electrical capacity to said building or structures is increased one hundred percent or more, or
when the building is improved in an amount more than ten thousand dollars, said utility lines
shall comply with the requirements of this Section.
E. Responsibility for Compliance
The developer or owner is responsible for complying with the requirements of this
Section, and he shall make all necessary arrangements with the appropriate utility company
for the installation of such facilities. When arrangement are made with the serving agency, a
letter stating that arrangements have been made for underground facilities and such other
comments the agency may have regarding easements, utility locations, and other pertinent
matters must be submitted by the agency to the City Engineer. Provision to the satisfaction
of the City Engineer shall also be made at time of subdivision development for future
installation of underground communication and cable television.
Section 9-15.060 Other Reauired Improvements
Additional improvements to be installed by each developer or subdivider shall include,
but not be limited to, the following: water lines, gas, and other utility services to serve each
lot and stubbed to the property line prior to paving; fire hydrants; sanitary sewers and
laterals to serve each lot and stubbed to the property line prior to paving; silt basins or other
forms of erosion control where required; and street and traffic control signs.
Off-site improvements may be required as follows:
1. The development of water storage facilities or financial contributions for the
improvement of any existing source of water supply and the construction of
transmission lines from that supply to the proposed development;
2. The development of trunk sewer lines or financial contributions for the
improvement of any existing sewage disposal system and the construction of
transmission lines from the proposed improvements to the site of disposal;

RE: Underground utilities
1171 Ash Street
Arroyo Grande, CA
Dear Planning Department,
Our proposed project currently has an overhead service along the West property line.
This utility service provides power, telephone and cable television to our project and
other adjacent parcels.
To relocate these services underground will put a significant financial strain on. our
project. The preliminary costs from the utility companies alone will far exceed our ability
to make this project financially feasible. Additionally, we have been informed the
adjoining residence does not want their utilities modified to accommodate the new
underground service.
Weare requesting an exception from the requirement to relocate this existing service
underground for the above stated reasons.
Sincerely, ej3fl;J)~~ ~.

He asked staff to explain the impacts of not accepting the offers of dedication.
Director Spagnolo explained in the supplemental staff report, the
recommendation was to accept a grant of a slope and drainage easement from
the First Assembly of God Church for Tract 2207. He explained that the purpose
of acceptance was to allow the developer to make the improvements, which
would allow drainage to occur over the easement area throughout construction.
Director Spagnolo further explained that the other two offers of dedication for
offsite easements for Tract 2207 relate to street improvements and are usually
accepted by the City after the public improvements are installed and completed.

11.a. PROPOSED BALLOT MEASURE AND ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF BALLOT
MEASURE - NOVEMBER 7. 2000 GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Staff recommended the Council: 1) Adopt a Resolution ordering the submission
to the qualified electors of the City of a measure relating to an increase of the
Transient Occupancy Tax ("hotel/motel bed tax") at the General Election to be
held on Tuesday, November 7,2000, as called by Resolution No. 3452; 2) Adopt a
Resolution setting priorities for filing written arguments regarding a City measure
and directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the measure;
3) Review, modify as appropriate, and approve the argument to be submitted in
favor of the measure.
Council questions and discussion included what methods could be used to
educate the public about the measure. Interim City Manager TerBorch stated that
the City could produce and distribute educational material to the community;
however, the law does not allow the City to take a position in favor or against the
measure.

CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES
JULY 11, 2000
Mayor Lady opened the discussion for public comment, and upon hearing no
comments, brought the discussion back to the Council.
Mayor Lady asked if the language of the measure could be expanded on the ballot
as to why the measure was being proposed.
Interim City Manager TerBorch responded that there were limitations on how the
measure is presented. He stated it was important to present as much information
to the public prior to the Election in order to get the facts out. He also
commented that the Council would have an opportunity to submit an Argument in
Favor of the Measure.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara acknowledged that the City was subject to certain
restrictions in the manner in which measures are defined on the ballot so that the
measure itself remains unbiased. He suggested adding a qualifier to the
statement that the intent of the measure is to gain parity with other cities in San
Luis Obispo County, so that there is a purpose for amending the Ordinance. He
explained that this would make an informed statement to the voters that Arroyo
Grande is way behind in its Transient Occupancy Tax rate.
There was further discussion regarding proposed wording for the measure.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara suggested adopting the amended measure language as
the primary Resolution and also adopting the original measure language as an
alternate Resolution should the amended language not be accepted by the
County Elections Official.
There was Council consensus to amend the Measure to read "In order to achieve
parity with other communities within San Luis Obispo County, shall an Ordinance
amending Section 3-3.303 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code to increase the
Transient Occupancy Tax ('hotel/motel bed tax") rate from six percent (6%) to ten
percent (10%) be adopted?"
There was discussion regarding the language in the proposed Argument in Favor
of the Measure relating to examples of how additional revenue could be spent to
operate City services. Council Member Dickens suggested that an example be
included in the language that revenues could be used for street repair and
maintenance.
Following discussion on the language for the argument, there was Council
consensus to replace the words .....to buy four new police vehicles;" with "for
over one mile of street repair and resurfacing;".
Council Member Dickens moved to approve staff's recommendations, including a
Resolution, as amended, ordering the submission to the qualified electors of the
City of a measure relating to an increase in the Transient Occupancy Tax
("hotel/motel bed tax"); a Resolution setting priorities for filing written arguments
regarding a City measure and directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial

12. COUNCIUAGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
. Mayor Lady requested the Council discuss and provide direction to staff
regarding the Economic Development Strategy and how it relates to
development projects in regard to the General Plan Update.
Interim City Manager TerBorch responded that in compliance with the Brown
Act, the Council could discuss the issue; however, if the Council wanted to
give formal direction or form a policy, it would have to be placed on a future
City Council meeting Agenda.
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated he had had discussions with staff on this issue
as it related to projects on Grand Avenue. He stated that the Task Force spent
a lot of time to draft the Economic Development Strategy to optimize the City's
ability to bring in projects that would benefit the City. economically,
particularly in certain areas such as Grand Avenue. He said that the Council
had adopted the Economic Strategy with intent for it to become an Element of
the General Plan. He stated that it was unclear when this would formally
occur. He asked for clarification on whether the Economic Strategy has to be
formally included in the General Plan. He stated since the City had a Council-
adopted Economic Strategy in place, it would seem that would be enough staff
direction for referring to the Strategy in making determinations as to whether
there is consistency with proposed projects. He felt that the determination of
a project should be evaluated based on the criteria of the documents in place,
and should guide the Commissions and staff in evaluating projects.
Council Member Runels stated that the Economic Development Strategy
needs to be incorporated into the General Plan.
Interim City Manager TerBorch explained that the City has in place an
Economic Development Strategy for the City; however, it is not a part of the
General Plan. He explained that there is a legal process of adding an Element
to the existing General Plan. He clarified that the Council had adopted the
Economic Development Strategy as an operational policy, which is a
document staff is to use when evaluating certain projects.

CITY COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES
JULY 11, 2000
Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara stated that the Council had already decided that the
Economic Development Strategy was going to become a part of the General
Plan. He asked if that happened now, independent of the other Elements that
are still outstanding, and whether it was to the City's benefit to initiate an
independent process that considers only the Economic Element.
Interim City Manager TerBorch stated it could be done independently. He
reported that staff was in the process of resolving issues with the Consultant
on the current status of the General Plan Update.
Council Member Dickens reaffirmed that the Economic Development Strategy
that Council adopted is City policy, and asked the City Attorney if the
document would be more effective if it was adopted to be an Economic
Element in the General Plan.
City Attorney Carmel responded yes, it would, because findings requiring
compatibility with the General Plan are inherent in almost every ,land use
decision the Council makes.
There was discussion regarding how the goals and policies in the Economic
Development Strategy were defined in order to encourage uses that generate
income for the City.
Council Member Dickens recommended directing staff to bring back an
Agenda item that would explain the process of adopting an Economic Element
in the current General Plan. There was Council consensus to move forward
with this recommendation.
Interim City Manager TerBorch clarified that the Council's direction was for
staff to bring back an Agenda item for a General Plan Update as well as the
process necessary to formally adopt the Economic Development Strategy as a
General Plan Element.
. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara distributed to Council and staff a letter he received
from Jan Hendrickson regarding the storage of materials at the back of the
Five Cities Center and asked for the matter to be followed up on. He also
inquired about the status of a proposed enclosure, for a dumpster located at
the back of the Center.
. Mayor Lady announced that he has scheduled a press conference on July 17th
at 9:00 a.m. in front of City Hall.
. At the request of Marjorie Gilliam to address the Council, Mayor Lady invited
her to the podium for public comments. Mrs. Gilliam explained she had
submitted a letter with a petition of signatures from area residents regarding a
request to pave a portion of Valley Road. She referred to the portion of Valley
Road in question which is a truck route and stated that the trucks are

continuing to damage the road further. She also expressed concerns relating

would be notified if the item was placed on a future Agenda.

Background Information
Arroyo Grande Department of Building and Fire
Division of Fire and Emergency Services
1. In the early 1990s, the City's Fire Department was staffed with volunteers and a
paid Fire Chief.
2. During the early 1990s, calls for service averaged 700-750 per year, consisting
of:
. 19 percent fire suppression
. 58 percent medical aid
. 23 percent other
3. Since the early 1990s, calls for service have increased nearly 60 percent to the
present average of 1,200 per year, consisting of:
. 14 percent fire suppression
. 60 percent medical aid (2/3 required advanced life-paramedic support)
. 26 percent other, including:
. hazardous conditions
. vehicle accidents
. rescues / persons in distress /Iost persons
. water emergencies
. animal emergencies
. false alarms
4. In the mid-1990s, staffing for emergency response was supplemented with part-
paid positions that established an average of 8 hours of daytime staffing and 12
hours of nighttime staffing by 3 members during each staffing period. During
recent years, additional staffing has been authorized by the City Council that
currently reflects:
. 1 paid Fire Captain (assigned to 24-hour shift)
. 1 paid Division Chief (currently under filled by a paid Fire Captain assigned to
24-hour shift)
. 1 Director of Building and Fire/Fire Chief
. 1 Executive Secretary
. 35-45 volunteers
5. Advanced life support / paramedic service has been, and currently is provided
under contract by a private firm.
6. The change in type of call and call volume has required a significant modification
to staff training and the focus of commitments.
Page 7
7. The Fire Station facilities are overcrowded and require expansion to provide
sleeping/living facilities for personnel working 24-hour staffing. Training facilities
no longer adequately accommodate the Division's need to provide programs that
address safety and liability, due to limited space.
8. The Department's operating budget has increased from $392,300 in FY 1992-93
to $791,300 in FY 1999-2000.
9. Response times exceed the accepted standard time of 6-minutes approximately
25 percent of the time. Some arrival times of 10 minutes or more result from lack
of volunteer availability, the types of calls, and/or multiple/simultaneous calls.
10. Total service call demand is expected to increase with population growth at the
rate of approximately 6 percent annually.

Dear Mr. Fibich:
DMG Maximus is pleased to present this proposal to conduct a Fire
and Emergency Medical Services Analysis. This study requires a wide set of
. skills that require significant analytical experience in fire service studies in a
variety of settings. Correspondingly, our proposed one-person team has the
following experience:
.-
. Mr. Dhillon has completed six management audits of fire
- - agencies which range in size up to large urban fire departments.
Recent examples include management audits for Pasadena,
Orange and the City of Los Angeles - all cities in California.
. Mr. Dhillon is currently engaged in similar Fire Services Needs
analyses for the cities of Poway and Saratoga.
. Numerous fire service master plans for and fire protection
districts across the country are including the experience of Mr.
Dhillon. This includes such large agencies as San Jose
(California) and medium cities as La Mesa and Santa Rosa (CA).
-- . Finally, we have evaluated the feasibility of fire service
consolidation for fifteen city, county and special district
government clients. These include studies for the cities of La
, , Mesa and Lemon Grove, the eight Heartland agencies in East
San Diego County, and Alameda County and the Fairfield Fire
Protection District:
The breadth of this experience gives DMG - Maximus the background
to conduct a thorough and high quality fire services study for the Arroyo
Grande.

.~-. PROPOSAL TO EVALUATE
- - FmE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL
SERVICE NEEDS
, .
: : This proposal outlines how we would approach a fire and emergency
services needs analysis and presents the qualifications of our firm and the
proposed project team. This proposal opens with an overview of our analytical
. , approach to conducting a Fire Services Study and is followed with a detailed
description of the tasks we would perform.
1. OUR METHODOLOGY AND ANALnICAL APPROACH TO
CONDUCTING FIRE SERVICES ANALYSIS.
Based on our review of the Request for Proposal, we have developed a
workplan in which we would conduct the following:
. Evaluate the City's current capability to provide fire and
emergency medical services to its service area. This includes
. - practical consideration of the extent to which Volunteer Fighters
are and can be considered as part of the City's response
. - capability, both now and in future years.
. As appropriate, identify unmet needs and determine resources
required to close identified gaps.
. Identify and evaluate options for meeting fire protection and
emergency medical service needs.
. Evaluate and recommend the best service delivery alternatives
for the City given both current and project future demand for
fire and emergency medical services.
. .
- Over recent years, we have been involved in a number of relatively
complex analyses of individual agency and multi-jurisdictional fire service
issues. Through each of these projects, there has been a common thread in
~- . i terms of key analytical tasks which need to be accomplished and key
phmning assumptions which need to be developed to ensure that a defensible
. - and practical study product is produced. These include the following:
. The need to thoroughly understand the nature and scope of the
demand for fire service and actual fire service level. To develop
such a portrait, an in-depth analysis of calls for fire and

~.
emergency medical service needs to be made. Annual reports of
total call volume by type of call are insufficient to support the
. " necessary level of analysis. Instead, analysis needs to address
and document the following factors:
- Response time.
, .
- Location of the call.
- Actual resources need to deal with the incident (i.e.,
-
number of units, paid staff and volunteers responding.)
- Use of automatic mutual aid.
- Total clock time required to deal with each incident.
- Tasks actually performed at the incident.
Only by portraying service demand in these terms can such key
planning elements as: (1) service level; (2) resource utilization;
and (3) frequency of demand for various levels of fire service
. - resources be documented.
. . . Arroyo Grande needs practical results - not platitudes and
generalities. To provide that level of detail, the project team
needs to understand, in detail, the City's specific fire protection
and emergency medical service needs. Only when service levels
have been identified and quantified can alternatives be
accurately evaluated.
In our experience conducting management and organizational reviews
of local government agencies, we have found that a successful project leading
to positive change within the study organization needs to:
. Be based on a study process that involves the client, at both the
_. top, middle management, and line operating level in each stage
of the project;
. Build "ownership" in project recommendations and results
through the study's interactive process.
Employee involvement is a critical component of any type of review,
not only to moderate the level of organizational disruption which frequently
accompanies such reviews, but also to create and maintain an environment
for acceptance and implementation of project recommendations as they are
developed. If selected to conduct the management assessment, we would

I ' ~~_n._

i.
~.
propose use of the following approaches to ensure staff involvement is
maximized over the course of the project:
,- Overall Mana,ement Assessment Steerin, Committee.
.
. . We recommend that the Department consider establishing a
---
Project Steering Committee to work with us over the course of
Ii the project. The committee would ideally consist of members of .
the City and Department's top manageme~t team If
appropriate, coucH members could also contribute their
~ perspectives to the committee.
The steering committee approach has a number of positive
features including:
- It provides a forum for communicating study progress and
results to the organization being reviewed;
- It involves staff as findings, concl usions, and
recommenda tions are developed which builds
understanding and acceptance as the project proceeds;
. - - It serves as a quality control device for the consultant's
work.
. -
. Personal Interviews. As part of our approach to developing
an understanding the Department and each of the functions
included in the management assessment analysis, we will
conduct individual interviews with all Department staff. During
these interviews, we would explain the purpose of the study,
solicit information regarding the employee's work assignment
and solicit the employee's input regarding improvement
opportunities.
This proposed approach to employee involvement, and steering
~ committee structure and role is, of course, subject to your approval. The
~ next section provides a detailed outline of the analytical and data collection
sequence we would follow in conducting the study.

. Task 1 Identify Key Issues Impactinr the Delivery of Fire
--
Services in the City. Today and in the Future.
.
As the project opens, it is critical that the project team develop an
understanding of the political, operating, and service objectives related to fire
, . and emergency medical service delivery in the. We will develop this basic
understanding as follows:
. Interview the City Manager and the Fire Chief to document
- their perspectives on the issue areas outlined below.
- Current perceived deficiencies in response capabilities
and support programs including fire prevention and
training.
- Volunteer availability.
- Adequacy of mutual and automatic aid relationships with
surrounding operations.
- Community growth patterns which need to be considered
-- in evaluating alternative courses of action open to the
Department.
. -
. . . We also believe that this initial task should include discussions
with other key administrative staff as deemed appropriate.
These interviews would focus on determining attitudes related
to such areas as the following:
- The Department's mix of services, programs and service
level capabilities.
- Key operating and financial pressures facing the City,
. -. now and in coming years.
- - City philosophy toward mitigation fees.
- Realistic scenarios around the availability of on-going
funding levels for delivery of services consistent with the
Department's mission.
- -- - Other issues, as appropriate.
The result of this task would be a list of the key supplemental issues
to be addressed over the course of the project.

Task 2 -- Develop a Detailed Understandinr of Current Fire and
Emerrency Medical Services Operations and Level of
Services.
_..
, . The purpose of this task would be to develop a detailed profile of fire
and emergency medical service workloads, service levels, and operations in
order to provide a detailed data base which would support subsequent
- analysis of current public safety approaches as well as the effectivenes~ of
alternate approaches. This task would provide the framework for defining
existing standards of coverage within the City. Major work steps involved in
completing this task would be as follows:
. Develop an understanding of the organization of the Arroyo
Grande Fire Department and staff roles and responsibilities,
including:
- Organizational structure - including sworn, civilian and
volunteer personnel.
- Number and type of staff assigned to each unit.
_. -
- Current staffing philosophies to include approaches to
_.- minimum staffing by station, unit and shift.
- Basic job responsibilities and work time allocations of all
administrative and command staff and other
administrative and support personnel.
- Basic lines of responsibility and authority running
through the organization.
. Document personnel related data including: gross work hours
given the current schedule, net available work hours given
various time off factors, use of overtime, compensatory time off,
~ employee turnover, etc.
. Document basic fire/emergency medical service response policies
~ i. and capabilities in the context of the call demand documented
above:
- Role of line staff on each type of call handled by the
Department.
- Working relationship with heath-care providers and the
EMS response community.

. Determine how the Emergency Medical Services System
currently functions, including level of training of Department
Staff staff, and role of the contract ambulance in providing
paramedic level response and transport services. . "This would
. . include documenting demand and response times associated
with ALS situations and any issues associated with the current
service system.
- Document working relationships with other fire service agencies
.
in the regional service area including structure and content of
all automatic and mutual aid agreements.
. Docunient Department revenue generation including any fee
and permit-related revenue, and identify source, and document
revenue generation philosophy at the Department level.
. Document current demand for fire services on a City-wide basis,
develop broad indicators of call and unit response volume by
major call type, area, type of alarm and risk category over the
last three years.
. -
. Document current service levels through analysis of dispatch
records, incident reports, and other appropriate documents,
develop a detailed profile of calls handled by the Department to
include:
- Response time for all Code 3 calls.
- Identify total response time data for each type of call,
response area, company and shift.
- Type of call.
- Amount of clock and staff time required to handle each
-- call covered in the sample, including roles and
responsibilities of in-house staff and the private
ambulance provider.

Once these initial data collection activities have been completed, the
project team will prepare a detailed written profile which presents our
understanding of the Department's current approaches to operations as
defined by each of the areas listed above. This profile will be prQyided to you
and Department staff for comment and to ensure the accuracy of our
. - understanding of Department operations. Once completed and reviewed, the
profile information will provide the basis for analysis conducted and
completed in subsequent study tasks.
.

Task 3 - Develop Key Plannine Assumptions and O~jectives to
Support the Structurine and Evaluatinr Alternatives.
To develop a plan for alternatives to the current fire service delivery
system, it will be necessary to define a set of objectives and assumptions
which address similarities and differences between and among agencies. We
will draw on the results of the analysis completed to this point and propose
key phmning assumptions in such areas as the following:
. Minimum company staffing for all response units.
- . . Concurrent with the above, target first and subsequent alarm
response capability for all structure fires.
. Utilization of paid staff in achieving the performance targets
noted above.
. Impact on potential costs and/or savings in other Department
administrative support functions which could be effected by how
fire services are organized and delivered.
. Impact on development review processes and controls.
. Employee considerations such as potential to transition to the
selected alternative; any salary or benefit penalties. associated
- with such a transition; impact on career development
opportunities; immediate likely impact on rank and/or
compensation; and other relevant employee related factors.
These planning assumptions will be prepared and proposed to and
reviewed at the first ~ajor process meeting at which comparative profiles
would be presented and analyzed.
Task 4 -- Evaluate the Response Unit Network and Identify
Appropriate Modifications.

Once the analysis of existing services and future service environment
is completed, the project team will have the data base to evaluate the current
and future service delivery operations. This task will involve the following:
. . . Evaluate existing response and service level policies in light of
, . actual service demand faced by the Arroyo Grande Fire
Department. Identify opportunities to modify service pDlicies .
(response time for selected types of calls and selected areas;
response to non-emergency calls, etc.) and evaluate the impact of
-- modification on both current and projected costs and City
demands. Evaluate trade-oft's between modification of current
. service levels or projected future service level targets and
operating costs.
. Based on an understanding of demand and field resource unit
deployment, evaluate existing company staffing policies, unit
deployment and response approaches, and identify opportunities
to reduce costs or improve staft' utilization or service through
adjustments in those policies both now and in the future.
The products of this task will include the following:
,
_. -
. Basic fire suppression configuration necessary to meet response
--,- time objectives and handle structural fire risk in the community.
Fire suppression requirements will be evaluated in the following
terms:
- Minimum on-duty staffing required to meet established
goals and objectives.
- Specific apparatus configuration required to support on-
duty staffing.
- Response times to fires and emergency medical calls.
,
- - Level of medical care provided by the Department.
- Identifying trigger points for expanding paid staff (based
on incident frequency and response area modification).
- Changes, if any, in the role an~ utilization of volunteers
linked to the trigger points identified above.
- Incremental apparatus and other major equipment
requirements necessary to support the above.

\ Task 5 - Evaluate Department Prop-ams Which Focus on Risk
Control and Support of Operations.
The purpose of this task is to evaluate and analyze those key programs
which complement and enhance the fire suppression and emergency medical
services programs analyzed in the first seven tasks of the project.
. Evaluate fire prevention policies and prop-ams. The
purposes of this portion of the task are to thoroughly evaluate
existing fire prevention policies, plans and operations, and to
identify improvement opportunities. Basic steps required to
-- complete this task include the following:
- Evaluate the current policies, codes and ordinances
related to fire prevention in Arroyo Grande and assess
their impact on both current and future Fire Department
operations. Complete a review of current codes and
ordinances related to building and development as well as
recent development decisions, and assess their impact
space on current and longer-range Department
operations. This would include, but not be limited to,
existing philosophies and practices related to requiring
sprinklering systems in various types of buildings;

requiring other types of built-in protection; levying
development fees to mitigate fu-e protection costs related
..-- . to major developments; and others.
_.. - - The second major component of this task will involve
I' evaluation of the operations, capabilities and productivity
of staff related to prevention activities. Focuses of this
. . analysis would include the following:
,..... Conduct an in-depth review of Prevention activities
..
to include staffing and utilization, scheduling and
inspection frequency performance monitoring, and
" public information programs.
.. Evaluate key links between central fire prevention
and other development activities such as phmning,
building, and the like. Identify areas where links
and coordination could be improved to upgrade
overall fire prevention impact on a City-wide basi~.
.. Evaluate field operations services in the fire
- - prevention area. This would involve drawing on
the results of our previous analysis, of field service
. . workload and analysis of Fire Prevention programs
. "" and services to answer such questions as the
following: (1) Are field company inspection
activities properly managed? (2) What additional
programs are needed to fill program gaps identified
earlier in the study? (3) What type of staff are
required to fill program gaps?
.. Identify revenue enhancement options which have
potential related to fire prevention programs and
services. Include cost-recovery performance
associated with existing fees and the potential to
- establish additional fees to support recommended
programs and program "enhancements.
. ; . Evaluate emeriency plannin, and manaiement
pro~ams.
- Analyze scope and content of emergency preparedness
program and identify program gaps and deficiencies.
- Evaluate the above in the context of projected community
growth and identify additional, future planning
requirements.

within the Arroyo Grande Fire Department. In conducting these
evaluations, we will document the processes used to advertise,
screen and test candidates for positions at various levels;
document how training needs are assessed and in-service
training provided at the field unit level; and compare current
recruitment, training and career development efforts with the
best practices found in other progressive fire protection
organizations. Issues to be addressed in these analyses will
include the following:
. .- Trainine
- Are training facilities consistent with Department needs?
- Are training services provided consistent with the needs
of field operating units?
- Do opportunities exist to control or reduce training costs?
- What approaches or programs have potential in these
areas?
---- - Do existing training programs focus on employee
dev~lopment as well as development and maintenance of
basic fire protection tactical skills?
- Are there opportunities to enhance skills training
program effectiveness through increased joint action with
neighboring jurisdictions?
Personnel Systems

financinll provisions. Draw on the results of previous tasks
and evaluate current replacement cycles in the context of
~...- industry standards; increasingly stringent safety requirements;
and documented op~rating and maintenance costs. Identify
issues and recommend adjustments. Include impact on
calculation of annual rental rates for apparatus replacement by
unit type.
. Develop and Evaluate Options for Fire Department
Involvement in the Emereency Medical Services
System.
. -
Conduct a comprehensive analysis of steps that can be taken to
. . enhance the cost-effectiveness of the current emergency medical
services system in the City. Basic steps involved in this analysis
will be as follows:
- Review the results of previous data collection activities
and identify problems related to the existing system
including the current approach employed to screen
incoming requests for emergency medical services
including protocols employed to make dispatch decisions.
-- Service cost to consumers given fees and fee schedules
found in other areas of San Luis Obispo County.
--
-- If appropriate, longer range potential to extend
Department services to include a broad range of emerging
, . services demanded by capitated agreements and managed
care payers.
Fully analyze the capital, initial training, and continuing
operating costs associated with each option.

Task 6 -- Combine the Results of All Previous Tasks into a
Comprehensive Final Report and Implementation
Pro~am.
- - The results of each of the preceding work tasks would be combined into
. ' a comprehensive final report and bnplementation plan. This bnplementation
plan will consist of the following elements:
. A detailed set of recommendations for adjusting short-term
- operations; specific work steps required to implement each
._- recommendation; recommended timing for implementation;
recommended responsibility for implementation; staff time to
~-- accomplish each; and any cost or savings impact associated with
short-term adjustments.
. Specific proposals for revenue enhancements to offset specific
program costs and operating requirements.
. A staffing plan consistent with adopted fire protection goals and
. objectives. The staffing plan would include consideration of both
minimum staffing recommendations and overall staffing levels
.-. required to maintain those minimum msmning levels.
.. . Specific, recommended adjustments to existing codes and
ordinances _ related to mandating built-in protection for new
construction and, where appropriate, retrofitting for specific
types of occupancies, including a full evaluation of the impact of
residential sprinklering on future operations and service
effectiveness.
The results of each of the analytical steps described above will be
documented in a final report which will be reviewed in draft with
Department staff. Once in final form, we will present the final report to the
City Council, or as deemed appropriate.

3. OVERVIEW OF DMG - MAXIMUS AND RELEVANT
. - PROJECT EXPERIENCE.
. . DMG - Maximus (formerly David M. Griffith & Associates) is the
. largest firm in the United States which specializes in providing management
consulting services to government. Since its inception in 1974, it has grown
to a network of over thirty-five offices nationwide and a professional staff of
over 400. The recent merger between David M. Griffith & Associates and
Maximus, Inc. in May, 1998, has resulted in an overall corporate network of
more than 100 offices and a consulting staff in excess of 2,900.
Initially, the firm was established to assist state, county, and city
government clients analyze the cost of public services to enhance revenues,
support development of cost-recovery fees, and support overhead cost
allocation for reimbursement by grant funding agencies at the federal and
state government levels.
As the firm grew, capacities and services have been expanded to
include executive recruitment and management and operations analysis.
Over the last five years, growth in terms of corporate revenues have risen
~ - from about $22 million to over $30 million today. We maintain West Coast
offices in Burlingame in the Bay Area, Sacramento, and Irvine. This project
. - would be managed and facilitated from our Irvine office.
r .
DMG - Maximus is the leading provider of management and operations
studies for local government agencies across the United States: The table,

The next section presents our proposed team and outlines
qualifications and relevant experience.
4. PROJECT TEAM QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
. -
~. .- Our philosophy in conducting management analyses minimizes non-
productive overhead, and maximizes work experience of our project team
members. Key elements of our approach to the business of management
consulting to local governments include the following:
. There is no non-working project manager assigned to our
consulting assignments.
. A senior member of the firm manages mld serves as a lead
analyst on each of our projects.
. Members of our project team are seasoned local government
,
management analysts and have multiple project analytical
- experience in every facet of local government operations. Most of
our personnel have served both as consultants and as
governmental anministrators.
. A personal commitment by our project team members to assist
our clients in determining the optimum solutions to their
problems.
We would employ this philosophy and approach if we are selected to
work on the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Analysis for the Arroyo
Grande Fire Department. Given the size and scope of the project and the
Proposal to Evaluate Fire Safety Needs - Arroyo Grande Page 18

desired timelines as indicated, Matt Dhillon would serve as the sole analyst
on this project.
Mr. Dhillon is a manager with DMG and has more than nine years'
experience consulting to local government. Mr. Dhillon has worked with more
. : than sixty local government clients in the Western United States, of which
more than thirty-five included reviewing Police and Fire Operations. Prior to
joining DMG Maximus, he was a senior analyst with MSI. He would serve as
Project Director.
Over the last five years, he has worked extensively in the fire and
emergency medical services area. Project experience includes evaluating
suppression unit deployment and communications center operations of the
Los Angeles Fire Department for the Mayor's Office; participating in the
development of a fire service master plan for the City of Santa Rosa; and
serving as lead analyst on our fire service master planning project for the
City of San Jose. He worked on a comprehensive management audit of the
Pasadena Fire Department. He also played a lead role in our management
audit of the Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste Division of the Los
Angeles County Fire Department. Finally, Mr. Dhillon recently participated
. . in a feasibility analysis to consolidate fire service operations among four
cities in North Orange County and eight cities and districts in East San
.. - Diego County.
. .. Mr. Dhillon is located in Southern California and works out of the
Irvine office.
Listed below are representative projects and references in the fire
service area for analyses including components comparable to issues to be
addressed as part of the Fire Services Analysis for Arroyo Grande. In
reviewing the list of assignments and clients below, it is important to note
that Messrs. Dhillon and Hunt played lead roles in each of these projects As a
result, these projects represent not only general corporate experience, but the
specific experience of Messrs. Carlson and Dhillon.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
RICK TerBORCH. CHIEF OF POLlC~
FROM:
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT IN-CAR VIDEO
SYSTEMS
DATE: JULY 25, 2000
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize staff to purchase two (2) Kustom
Signals Eyewitness Industrial Grade patrol in-car video systems for $11,383.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2000-01 City Budget includes $11,300 for the purchase of two (2)
replacement in-car video systems. The proposed purchase is approximately $83 over
the budget allocation. The difference will be offset by the $4,973 savings in
purchasing the replacement police patrol vehicles.
DISCUSSION:
On June 19, 2000, the City Council approved the FY 2000-01 City Budget. Included
in the budget was the replacement of two (2) Eagle Eye in-car video systems for patrol
vehicles. These systems were originally purchased in 1995 and are approaching five
(5) years of intensive usage. Given the extent of the usage, the systems are
undergoing frequent repairs and are beginning to become unreliable. The in-car video
systems have proved their value by documenting incidents for use in prosecution in
court, training, and protection from civil liability. There is actually a need to replace
the four (4) Eagle Eye units. However, due to budget constraints, staff requested that
two (2) units be replaced in FY 2000-01. Staff will request the additional two (2)
units be included in the FY 2001-02 City Budget.
Staff received bids from three (3) vendors for the two (2) in-car video systems. The
bids were as follows:
Kustom Signals, Inc., Lenexa, Kansas $11,382.73
Public Safety Equipment Co., Minneapolis, Minnesota $12,274.73
Communications Center, Glendora, California $12,274.73
-----..-----..------..- ~-- -_._~

CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT IN-CAR VIDEO SYSTEMS
JULY 25, 2000
PAGE 2
All bids include tax and delivery. Kustom Signals was the low bidder. Additionally,
the Police Department currently uses the Kustom Signals in-car video unit and is
satisfied with its performance. Therefore, staff recommends the purchase of the
Kustom Signals units. It is intended that the replacement video units will be installed
in two (2) new replacement patrol units.
Alternatives
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve staff's recommendation;
- Reject bids and direct staff to solicit additional bids;
- Reject bids and provide further direction to staff; or
- Do not approve staff's recommendation.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER~
SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION ALTERNATIVES FOR FAIR OAKS
AVEN ALLEY ROAD AND TALLYHO OVERLAY PROJECT
DATE: JULY 25, 2000
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
A. review the additional construction alternatives and provide staff with a priority list;
and,
B. transfer $19,000 from project 350-5636 (Traffic signal at Fair Oaks and Valley
Road); to 350-5630 and,
C. transfer $7,500 from the Traffic Signalization Fund to 350-5630.
FUNDING:
The FY 2000/2001 Capital Improvement Program Budget includes $674,700 for
construction of the Fair Oaks AvenueNalley Road and Tally Ho Overlay project. A
contract for this project was awarded to R. Burke Corporation based on a bid amount of
$599,559. Therefore $75,141 is available in the budget for additional construction.
Funds for the contingencies and/or unforeseen work in the amount of $65,000 is not
intended to be used for the proposed additional construction alternatives. If contingency
funds are available at the conclusion of the project, they may be applied to the proposed
additive construction alternatives.
DISCUSSION:
STIP funds provided $674,700 for construction work on this project. The City received
favorable bids for the overlay of Fair Oaks AvenueNalley Road and Tally Ho Road.
Staff has identified four (4) additional construction items that could be added to this
project. These additional construction items, which are summarized below, are not
presented in any specific order but are presented as a group for Council consideration.

conduits at the intersection of Fair Oaks Avenue and Valley Road, as well as the
installation of conduits for future use at the intersection with Traffic Way. This work was
not intended to be paid from STIP funds, therefore, a transfer of $7,500 from the Traffic
Signalization Fund and $19,000 from the Fair Oaks Ave and Valley Road Traffic Signal
project, Project No. 350-5636 is recommended to reimburse the overlay project.
Alternatives

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: LYNDA K. SNODGRASS, DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL SERVICES ~
SUBJECT: MODIFICATION TO CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT
SYSTEM (CaIPERS) CONTRACT
DATE: JULY 25,2000
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
. Introduce for first reading the attached Ordinance amending the contract with the
California Public Employees' Retirement System,
. Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign on behalf of the City the attached Resolution
of Intention to amend the contract with the California Public Employees' Retirement
System.
FUNDING:
There is no current fiscal impact expected from the proposed modifications.
DISCUSSION:
The City contracts with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) to
provide retirement benefits to employees. The retiree benefits are based on the number of
years of service, the employee earnings, and the benefit provisions of the contract. To
meet the varying needs of the contracting agencies, CalPERS offers a wide variety of
benefit provisions.
To provide the future benefits, each agency contributes a percentage of its employee's
salaries. The percentage contribution is based on benefits provided, future cost to provide
the benefits, and the amount of assets accumulated to pay those benefits. CalPERS then
invests each agency's contributions to accumulate sufficient amounts to pay its employees
the contracted benefits. Annually, CalPERS evaluates the agency's accumulated assets
and the actuarial projections of the cost to provide future retiree benefits. An agency that
has not accumulated sufficient assets will make higher contributions than an agency with
sufficient assets. However, over the years, CalPERS has been conservative in estimating
future investment earnings. This has resulted in excess earnings-and excess assets.
In order to reduce the excess earnings and provide enhanced benefits, the CalPERS
board, passed resolution ACT -9-02 at its November 1999 meeting. This resolution
-

increases the actuarial value of an agency's assets from 90% to 95% of the market value,
if increased benefits are offered by the agency during the Fiscal Years of 1999-2000 and
2000-01. If an agency did not increase benefits, the agency's assets would remain at the
90% level. This revaluation was done to allow agencies to increase retiree benefits with a
minimum of current costs.
The City of Arroyo Grande requested a number of valuations from CalPERS to determine
the best use of this one time revaluation. With the City Council's direction, negotiations
with the Arroyo Grande Police Officers Association (AGPOA) and the Service Employees
International Union (SEIU) took place. Ultimately, the following three modifications were
agreed upon.
1. Miscellaneous employees to change from 2% at age 60 to 2% at age 55.
2. Retirement for miscellaneous employees to be based on one-year final
compensation rather than a three year average.
3. Police employees' retirement to be based on one-year final compensation.
The cost to implement the two modifications to the miscellaneous contract is
approximately $709,400. However, the City's accumulated assets will be increased by
approximately $522,300, leavillg a cost of approximately $187,100. Because the invested
assets accumulated for miscellaneous employees have increased significantly in value,
there are excess assets available to pay this cost. The accumulated assets exceed the
cost of future benefits, thereby retaining the current contribution rate. The City's
percentage contribution for miscellaneous employees will remain at 0%.
The cost to implement the One-Year Final Compensation option to the police contract is
approximately $161,500. However, because the implementation of the contract
modification triggers a $353,200 increase revaluation of assets, there is actually a .025%
decrease in the employer's portion of the CalPERS contribution.
Though there is no current cost for the contract modifications, it must be noted that should
the stock market incur a drastic reduction in value, and the City's assets with CalPERS are
significantly reduced, there would be a cost. The employer portion of the CalPERS
contribution would be increased by 2.141 % for miscellaneous employees, and 1.025% for
police employees. This would increase the City's yearly CalPERS costs by approximately
$13,400 for police and $58,000 for miscellaneous employees. A major reduction in the
stock market is not anticipated nor expected.
The first step in the process is to introduce for first reading an ordinance to modify the
contract and adoption of a resolution of intention to amend the current contract. The
attached resolution is supplied by PERS, and must be adopted as prepared by the PERS
agency. The Ordinance in the City's format has been developed to meet the City's
requirements from a sample format supplied by CaIPERS.

It is important for the City to provide its employees with benefits that are competitive with
other agencies and with the private sector. This is important especially in today's labor
market when the private sector is offering higher salaries, stock options, and other
benefits. Modifying the contract provisions enables the City to provide higher benefits
without incurring additional costs at this time.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEE~
SUBJECT: TRACT 2207, VISTA DEL MAR, WATER FOR GRADING
DATE: JULY 25,2000
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council consider a request from Coastal Earthmovers, Inc. to
use potable water for grading operations for Tract 2207, and approve or deny the request.
FUNDING:
Based on the Contractor's estimate of water use, the revenue received from the use of the
City's potable water is estimated to range between $50,000 to $70,000 and will depend
upon how much water is used and the weather conditions during the time of grading
operations. Total revenue received if the nonpotable water from the Soto Drainage Basin
is used would range from approximately $30,000 to $45,000.
DISCUSSION:
Tract 2207, Vista Del Mar, is an approved development of 38 single family homes located
southerly of Orchard Street. Grading for the project will entail moving approximately
121,000 cubic yards of soil. According to information furnished by the c;teveloper (see
Attachment 1) it is estimated that the construction water needed for the project would be
approximately 10,000 to 12,000 gallons per hour (80,000 to 96,000 gallons per day) for an
initial period of two months. Following that, the water use is estimated at 4,000 to 5, 000
gallons per hour (32,000 to 40,000 gallons per day) for three to four months.
To deliver this water would require that the water trucks make an average of 40 round trips
per day. The trucks would travel to the City's nonpotable supply located at the Soto
Drainage Basin.
Grading is expected to last from five to six months. During this period, two factors that
relate to the request are the paving of Fair Oaks Avenue and Valley Road and the planned
shutdown of the Lopez waterline for repairs and modifications. The schedule for these
events is shown below.
Staff has reviewed the City's ability to deliver water during the Lopez shutdown and has
determined that the City has the capacity to serve this additional potable water. The
paving of Fair Oaks Avenue and Valley Road is scheduled for 1 to 2 days. Approving the
Contractor's request would reduce the potential for construction traffic conflicts during this
time.
The grading contractor is requesting that the City allow the use of an off-site fire hydrant
to supply potable water for grading in order to alleviate truck traffic, reduce wear and tear
on City streets, and reduce potential traffic hazards attributed to truck traffic through the
construction zone on Fair Oaks Avenue and Valley Road. The hydrant that would be used
is located at the southerly end of Orchard Street and would be accessed from the project.
site without using Orchard Street. The contractor would lay fire hose to a drop tank to
allow the water trucks to obtain the water further away from the school and church
properties.
Previously, the Council took action on November 27, 1990 to restrict the use of water for
construction projects to nonpotable water (minutes attached). This action was precipitated
primarily due to the drought conditions in effect at the time. Exceptions to this policy were
approved on October 17, 1997 for the Five Cities Center, and on March 28, 2000 for Tract
2265 (Village Glen) to allow the use of potable water for grading operations. The grading
contractor for Tract 2207 is requesting Council authorization for an exception to the policy
restricting the use of potable water for grading purposes. This exception request
addresses the special circumstances of the Tract 2207 (Vista Del Mar) project and
suggests that there will be benefits to the community by reducing truck traffic on local
streets and reducing impacts related to truck traffic.
Staff recommends that the Council review the applicant's request, and approve or deny the
request. If the Council approves the request, it is recommended that it be limited to
grading only and to the hydrant located at the end of Orchard Street.
Alternatives
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
. Approve the applicant's request to use potable water for grading;
. Do not approve the applicant's request to use potable water for grading; or
. Provide direction to staff.

RE: Potable Water
Dear Mr. Spagnolo:
This letter is in response to my phone conversation today with Craig Campbell.
Tract 2207 construction should last approximately five to six months. Our water demand
will be approximately 10,000 to 12,000 gallons per hour for the first two months. The
remaining three to four months, our demand should drop to approximately 4,000 to 5,000
gallons per hour. Because of the time involved going to the non-potable water facility,
our water trucks will need to make approximately 40 trips per day.
The potable water source that I would like you to consider is the hydrant at the
end of Orchard Street. If you grant my request for a meter at this location, I will run a
water line :trom your meter to my 12,000 gallon drop tank. The drop tank would be
placed in a location far enough away :trom both the church and the school district office
so that the trucks can load safely and won't be a nuisance to anyone. This location would
eliminate driving through the school parking lot and on city streets.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. Thank you again for your
consideration.
Sincerely, /
C~

the developers would have to return to the board with an
Environmental Impact Report and an alternate access route for the
project.
8.D. WATER UPDATE - HYDRANTS
Council Member Olsen reported that by the end of 1991, the
city would have to stop using Lopez Lake as a drinking water source
if there is no wet season. She said the neighboring cities have
said they will not honor the "gentlemen' agreement" with regard to
underground water. She discussed a possible cloud seeding program
~ which may be undertaken by San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande, Grover
l City and Pismo Beach. Mr. Christiansen said if Arroyo Grande
participated in the cloud seeding program the City's cost would be I
$25,000 through Zone 3.
Council Member Olsen said there would be a joint meeting at
1:30 P.M. December 5, 1990 of the Water Resources Advisory
Commi ttee and the South County Water Association at the City/County .
Library, 995 Palm street, San Luis Obispo.
Mr. Christiansen said that all construction water meters have
been removed from hydrants in the City, as per Council direction.
He said that contractors have called him to request permission to
draw water from the hydrants for compaction of dirt at construction
sites.
Mayor Pro Tem Smith explained that the Council had directed
that all meters be removed from water hydrants because there had I
been told of some abuse of the system, and that water was being I
sold outside the City.
Requesting that they be allowed to use the water from hydrants
to finish the projects on which they are currently working were
BILL PAPPICH of 606 Prince Road and ROGER ORMONDE of Grover City, I
grading contractors; ARTHUR BIELECKI, owner of property under
construction, and SID WHITE, whose son-in-law has a house under
construction. I
There was extensive Council discussion about the matter, with
Council Members Moots and Olsen expressing concerns about the
City's short supply of water, and setting a precedent for other
projects currently under construction. Council Members smith and
Dougall said the City should let the contractors finish their
present projects because the City requires the contractors to use
.water for compaction and erosion control. .
with the assistance in the wording by the City Attorney, it
was moved by Dougall/Smith that those contractors who on or before
November 27, 1990 at 5:00 P.M. had already pulled City grading
r permits for grading projects within the City of Arroyo Grande may
I buy City water from metered fire hydrants only to complete that
I grading project. The motion passed with smith, Dougall and Moots
i voting aye, Olsen voting no, and Millis absent.
The Council discussed the proposed cloud seeding project. It
was moved by Moots/Dougall, and the motion passed, to pay Arroyo
Grande's Zone 3 share (up to $25,000) for the cost of Cloud Seeding
before April 1, 1991, with the provision that the Cities of pismo
Beach, Grover city and San Luis Obispo participate in the project.
