Cayucos Chamber of Commerce-Bill Shea- reported on the street faire; donations for honorary mayor candidates [4] have provided enough money to pay for balloon arches of Cayucos—May 24 will be May Madness to announce winner of mayoral race and Citizen of the Year

President Carnegie asked for a motion to move items under New Business on the Agenda to here so as to better accommodate County representatives in the audience. Motion by L Schoennauer, 2^nd R. Hutchinson. Verbally accepted.

NEW BUSINESS:

A. Doug Bird-CSA10A update-will serves, etc.—Handed out copies of CSA10A Staff Report along with a map of CSA10A within Cayucos proper. With the Nacimiento Water Proiect moving forward with its 5 contracts staff Report outlined four options available for CSA10A to consider. Long and short of it is to rescind the resolution[93-141] and put the district prior to where it was in 1993. However, it will take a Bd. Of Supervisors action.

DISCUSSION or points of concerns: approximately how many buildable lots are there still [170], economically what is the most viable solution, maybe place a growth cap—County has one at 2.3% but Cayucos has NO LIMIT. Currently there are approx. 40-45 on the waiting list for Will Serves—which have no expiration—originally was lst come lst serve; re: retrofitting—this has been tapped out and CSA10A also has a tiered system in place. Does the growth rate match the infrastructure?? County takes the peak usage day [i.e. July 4] for the worst case scenario in place to determine. Some voiced don’t rescind until all is in place, others thought having the rescinding of Nacimiento project should follow in line with Estero Area Plan Update [option 2] for more cohesiveness in planning.

Motion: [John Carsel] moved to accept Option 1—which states: “Rescinding Resolution 93-141 when the Nacimiento Project is complete and is operational anticipated to be Dec. 2010. [2^nd Dirk Langer] Roll Call vote was 4 nayes; 9 ayes-motion carried

B. Pete Jenny-County Parks and Nick Franco of State Parks discussed options to possibly operate &/or keep State Parks, & County Parks open. The issue, to be taken back to Board of Supervisors, is that several parks are owned by the State, but are managed by the County and the operating agreement now requires the County to choose one of three options to continue the working relationship. Options: (1)permit State parks to begin collecting entry fees to Montana de Oro State Park at a kiosk on Pecho Rd. [County Rd.] (2) pay State Parks an equivalent amount of money to offset entry fees if they are not permitted to charge them, or (3) terminate the agreement and return management of all subject facilities [County manages--Morro Bay Golf, Cayucos Beach & Pier, Norma Rose Park Site, top of Bishop Peak] to State Parks.

Discussion ensued, but seemed to heavily favor the first option of permitting the State to setup a kiosk for entry fees--Motion: [John Carsel] moved to accept Option 1—which states: “permit State parks to begin collecting entry fees to Montana de Oro State Park at a kiosk on Pecho Rd. [County Rd.] [2^nd Lynn Schoennauer] Roll Call vote was unanimously in favor 13 ayes, NO nayes motion carried

Break 8:40-8:50PM

Supervisor Gibson:

• regarding reported incident by the Fons--an investigation is being pursued, but not as a criminal investigation

• was questioned about possible street sweeping—Supervisor Gibson said he will check with Public Works, as money gets tighter, creative minds work miraculously

COMMITTEE REPORTS:

Land Use Committee-met 5/5/08; projects: Tibbitts on 1210 Pacific—floor plans do not match the revised plans, storage area and setback questioned, along with stairwell with ample headroom, wall alignment does not seem to follow Estero SSN intent, committee does not support wall alignment proposed; Kellogg & Bright Projects still had many unanswered questions/concerns, so additional information was being requested, projects on hold for now. No other new projects were received. Update given on timeshare home on Studio—is like a trust so all are considered beneficiaries. Gilbert Avenue property owners are wanting to meet with the LUC next month—will arrange; DeVeau Project Referral will be forthcoming as a new project soon.

Public Safety: DeAnne expressed concern for abandoned vehicles—it is not done through county code enforcement, but via CHP—vehicles have 72 hour time limit in any one spot

Recreational:Bill Shea reported on July 4 committee workings on behalf of Greg. Procedures are being put in place, posters are being made for businesses, fliers similar to last year regarding rules/regs on alcohol, fireworks, safety, etc. as well as noting the code and fine are being printed up for distribution and should be ready next week.

Utilities// By-Laws/ CSA10A/ Community Design —no reports given

Ad Hoc-Sidewalk Committee: Dirk & DeAnne working on report for conclusions, findings.—report next month

Ad-Hoc Traffic Study Committee-Margaret will have more information to present next month.

OLD BUSINESS—.

1. Discussion of Surveying Monuments: a handout, with photos, explaining the need for such markers was re-distributed to further discuss the establishment of monuments for all surveyors to use as consistent reference points/system in order to measure heights from a cohesive baseline vs. a possible arbitrary reference point that differs from house to house thereby making it difficult to compare from one lot to another. Benchmarks have varied. Concern is would there be a cost to establish monuments since elevations are not as accurate as an x/y axis would be. San Luis City does work with benchmarks—after some discussion it was still unclear as to how can the community be more certain of absolute height and what would be best for everyone; how would local benchmarks on properties be protected, what are possible conceptual issues; what are actual true elevations vs. established heights from the county, vs. those taken from the actual site of the project that could have been altered, or never measured [i.e. Sternerson project]

2. BASEMENTS: since some additional information had been obtained on minimal sizes to egresses needed, etc., i.e. if there is any sleeping in the area an egress must be provided; if over 2,000sq. ft an escape route is required; and if the area is less than 80inches [6.5 ft.] high it is not considered a liveable area. Item referred back to Land Use Committee to possibly come up with a clear and concise definition to be considered by the full Council at a later date.

Good of the Order:

Adjournment: 9:18PM.
