prelirninary expansion plans for the Community Building, as recommended by the
Parks & Recreation Commission.

REP(~RT - RECENT ZONE 3 ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING - MILLIS
Councilman Millis reported on the February 26th meeting of the Zone 3
Advisory Committee. The Beaches & Parks Report showed that visitors and rever.ue
at the Lopez R~creational Area was up from last year, The lake is about 5 feet
below the spillway, having come up about 11 feet in 16 days. Discussion had
been held regarding re-allocation of Lopez Water, with some of the Lopez con-
tractors stating that everyone should run out of water at the same time. In
answer to Rick Lee as to where the profit from the Recreational Area goes,
Councilman Millis stated his recollection is that although at one time the
profit was u5ed to reduce the Operation & Maintenance costs of the Water Treat-
ment Plant, that now ~the State Parks & Beaches Department requires the profits
to be put back into the park itself for improvements and maintenance. He
further clarified that the Water Treatment Plant had been paid for locally, but
the State paid for the Recreational Area.
RECEIPT OF MINUTES FROM SANTA BARBARA WATER PURVEYORS COUNCIL
The Council received and reviewed the minutes of the February 13th meeting
of the Water Purveyors Council of Santa Barbara.
Administrator Butch reported on receiving information noticing several
presentations to be made in March and April at Al1an Hancock Coll~ge, regarding
the future water situation in Santa Barbara County, which may give some idea as
to the direction that County will take in regard to the Feather River Project.
APPROVAL OF TRACT NO. 453, "RANCHO LA BARRANCA" - HELD OVER
City Engineer Karp reported that the water line put in by Tract No. 453,
"Rancho La Barranca", along Tally Ho and Highway 227, still has not passed the
bacterial tests, as the laboratory has been very busy. For this reason, he could
not recommend approval of the Tract at this time.
Councilman Gallagher requested the status of the questions raised about
the_tract at the Council's last meeting. City Engineer Karp stated he thought
the response of Robert Garing, Jr. dated February 15th, to the concerns outlined
in Beverly Simmons' letter dated February 14th, covered any questions. In
response to Councilman Gallagher's continued questioning of the ponding basin's
adequacy, the City Engineer drew a diagram showing how two barriers in the one
required basin handle the water--one area catching the drainage and the other
metering it out.
Discussion was also held regarding the no parking restriction along the
Tract's streets and how visitors would be handled. Director of Public Works
Anderson stated the developers had wanted it that way, in keeping with the rural
atitito~pliere of the tract and for this reason the plant mix dikes were used. The
Council discouraged the use of these dikes in future tracts. Administrator Butch
stated that the Parking & Traffic Commission will be reviewing the parking matter
in this tract at its next meeting, Further discussion was held on the drainage
i_n the tract, which was explained by City Engineer Karp.
FURTHER DTSCUSSION - TALLY HO AREA DRAINAGE - SEEK ENGINEERING PROPOSALS
City Engineer Karp read with the Council his report dated February 23rd,
regarding the drainage problems in the Tally Ho/James Way area. The report out-
lined some emergency steps taken in the area in an attempt to alleviate some of
the problem, Also included in the report were proposed steps to be taken to
rectify the problem further, and estimated costs of same.
Lengthy Council discussion on the matter followed. General consensus was
that the whole drainage problem in the area needs to be resolved, including
establishment of a plan line for Tally Ho Road. Administrator Butch reported
that the meeting with HUD had not brought any hope for funding from them, but
other avenues are being researched. Tally Ho resident Beverly Simmons stated
the residents of Tally Ho have applied to the Soil Conservation for engineering.
The Council agreed that engineering cost proposals need to be obtained
for complete improvement of the Tally Ho Road area, including drainage, an
assessment district, plan line, etc. -

DISCUSSION~RE. DRAINAGE SYSTEM IN PEARWOOD DRTVE AREA - STEWART
The Council read a letter from Jackie Stewart of Pearwood Drive, regarding
drainage problems in that area and trash being disposad of in the drainaae system,
which plugs it up. T}~e Council reviewed a report on the matter from City Engineer
Karp, which stated that the ditch was dug out by hand by CETA personn~l, as the
area is inaccessible to equipment. He stated that the ultimate solution would be
f.or each resident along the easterly side of Pearwood to clear, reconstruct and
maintain the overflow drainage swale.
Robert_Phillips thanked the City for digging out the ditch, but felt the
main problem was the lack of a trash guard. City Engineer Karp stated that there
had been one at one time, and that a replacement trash guard will be ordered.
RE~7ISIONS TO WATER & LOPEZ RATES - ORDINANCE FIRST READING
The Council reviewed a proposed ordinance amending the Lopez Water
Contract charges to provide for $1.50 being charged per bed in hospitals and
convalescent homes. Administrator Butch also recommended that the minimum
monthly water charges be amended to include charges for a 6" meter, as follows:
$84.00 inside the City and $90.00 outside the City for 27,000 cu. ft.
' After Council discussion, City Attorney Shipsey read, for its first
reading, the title of an ordinance amending the Municipal Code by making certain
revisions to the Water and Lopez rates. A motion was then made by Councilman
Gallagher, seconded by Councilman Schlegel and unanimously carried, to dispense
with.xeading the balance of this ordinance.
APPROVE APPLICATION FOR DOMESTIC WATER WELL ON PRINTZ ROAD - LAGKEY
The ~ouncil reviewed a report from Director of Public Works Director
Anderson regarding an application for a domestic water well on Printz Road by
Robert Lackey. The closest water supply at this time is about one mile away
from this parcel and Mr. Anderson recommended approval, as it would not be
practical to serve City water to this parcel at this time.
After Council discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Spierling,
seconded by Councilman Gallagher and unaninously carried, approving the
domestic water well application of Robert Lackey for a parcel on Printz Road,
subject to that parcel hooking up to City water when it becomes available in
that area.
APPROVE CALL FOR BIDS FOR 1ST PHASE OF STROTHER COMMUNITY PARK DEVELOPMENT
Administrator Butch reported that authorization is being requested to
