BID AWARD Councilman Villa's motion to award
LIABILITY INSURANCE the contract for Comprehensive Bodily
Injury and Property Damage Liability
Insurance to Harrison, Zeppegno & Bristol, Brokers, for a three-year period on the
basis of an annual premium of $128,623, was seconded by Councilman Yamamoto.
Mr. Jack Smith, Tausch Insurance Agency, stated that a binder has been issued to
the City by Pacific Indemnity Company extending the present coverage to August 1st.
The Mayor stated that if the contract were awarded for three years, and in the
event there was an adjustment of premium at the end of one year, the City could
go to bid at that time.
Mr. Robert Brown, Vice President, Insurance Company ~f the Pacific Coast, stated
that any company could cancel the policy because of poor e~perience; however, if the
company has a three-year contract, they would be more inclined to keep the insurance
in force, assuming that the second and third year premiums would compensate for
the adverse loss experience; that in regard to the period of time allowed for preparation
of bids, it was a short time; however, any company genuinely interested in the business
could have prepared and submitted a bid in that time. In reply to a question from
Councilman Patterson, Mro Brown stated that if the contract were awarded for a one-
year period, his company would not rebid, but the specifications call for a three-year
policy.
Councilmen Evans and Patterson stated they would not support a three-year contract.
The City Attorney stated that~ the representatives of the two companies that bid could
voluntarily amend the specifications; otherwise, he would suggest rebid with new
terms. Mayor Griset and Councilman Yamamoto stated they would not be in favor
of awarding the contract for less than three years. Councilman Herrin stated that
continuity is an important factor° Councilman Markel stated he believed the contract
should be awarded without delay, but that eight days was not sufficient time to
prepare a bid, and that he would be in favor of awarding the insurance to the low
bidder for a period of one year. Councilman Patterson concurred, except he believed
that for the purpose of continuity, the insurance should remain with the previous
carrier for one more year, even though the broker has changed°

LIABILITY INSURANCE - (Continued)
Councilman Yamamoto withdrew his second to Councilman Villa's motion on the
basis that too little time was allowed for preparation of bids.
Councilman Patterson's motion, seconded by Councilman Markel, to award the
contract for Spec. 725-104, Comprehensive Bodily Injury & Property Damage
Liability Insurance, for one additional year to the Pacific Indemnity Insurance
Company through Tausch Insurance Agency, carried on the following roll call
vote:
AYES: Patterson, Markel, Villa, Herrin
NOES: Evans, Griset, Yamam0to
ABSENT: None
Prior to voting, Councilman Evans stated that if the term is changed from three
years to one year, it should be rebid. Councilman Patterson stated that because
of the short time for preparation of bids, unavailability of loss information, and
the necessity for amendments in the specifications, he believed a one-year contract
would give the City time to prepare new specifications and l~erhaps a three-year
contract could be considered at that time. He suggested that there are a number
of ways of handling insurance -- for example, on a cost-plus basis, and he would
not be willing to support a new company at this point, even with a one-year term.
BUS GRANT CONTRACT Councilman Patterson's motion,
seconded by Councilman Villa, to
approve the Bus Grant Contract

of Santa Aha for an Urban Mass Transportation Capital Grant, and to authorize

COSTS OF STREET II%4PROVEMENTS stated that he is an Industrial
Developer in southeast Santa Aha; that
the greatest asset in dealing with the public Or a potential client in the industrial
area has been the stability and sound fiscal policy of the City of Santa Aha; that the
part of the ordinance he objects to is the wording regarding projects under way --
that if they are not completed by the first of July, they will not be reimbursed; that
if it is necessary under the City's fiscal program to adopt this policy, it might be
better to say "anything filed after a given date would not be subject to the reimburse-
ment.
Mr. Jack Hall, Engineer representing Mike Kohl on property being developed as a
10Llot subdivision on Euclid Street, stated they have reached a point where every-
thing was finan'ced and budgeted, the developer has money set aside to do the
project, and now the City is talking about changing its policy; and that those people
who presently have projects in the City and have budgeted for the reimbursement,
should be warned of the proposed change°
The Director of Public Works stated that for approximately nine months his
department has been sending letters (sample provided in packet) to developers
concerning the City's reimbursement policy; that there is no money remaining in
the budget for this expense~
The Mayor stated that he has been opposed to any change in the policy, but that
because of the City's present financial situation is now prepared to change the
policy; however he would be in favor of reimbursing one-half of the projects now
in progress°"

There was discussion regarding the propriety of Councilman Patterson's
participation in the decision on the matter in view of his being the appellant in a
related Agenda item, Appeal No. 305 - Variance Application ?Z-5. It was the
opinion of the City Attorney and the majority of the Council members that if there
was no financial or personal conflict of interest, the Councilman was required to
participate. Mayor Griset stated that it had been suggectcd that he might have a
conflict of interest because an uncle owns 13 acres of property at Bristol and
Alton; that he has no connection with the estate and would derive no financial
gain from the zoning of the property in the area. The consensus of the Council
was that there was no conflict of interest°
The Mayor opened the public hearing on Amendment Application $69Z filed by
Harvey L. Bear to rezone property located north of Sunflower between Bear and
Greenville, from the R1 to R 4 District.
The Director of Planning stated that the applicant filed the reque~ for rezoning
and an application for variance about the same time; that about the time it was
presented to the Planning Commission, the Council imposed the 90-day moratorium
in the area, and the matter was continued until after May ZZnd when the moratorium
was lifted; that the Planning Commission by its Resolution 599Z recommends
rezoning to R I~PRD.
The Clerk reported there were no additional communications.
The following persons spoke in favor of the Amendment Application:
Mr. Frank Gelinas, 1530 E. Fourth Street
Mr. Richard Ptuffman, head of Planning for Covington Brothers
It was stated that this matter had been pending for a number of months, first to
work out details with the Planning staff, and then it was continued by the Planning
Commission due to the 90-day moratorium; that there had been unnecessary delay
in considering the application. It was further stated that the developer had, in
good faith, attempted to present this matter to the Planning Commission and the
Council, but there has been some policy change from time to time; that the area
should be developed in the best interest of the surrounding property; that a study
had been made to develop the land to its ultimate use; that this development would
be of medium density; that the area could be developed as R 4 medium density and
still have a precise plan with a 3½ acre park if done by variance° Mr. Huffman
stated the applicant would be willing to withdraw the request for rezoning and have
a hearing on the variance application only.

A-PPEAL ~305 - VA 72-5
JERRY M. PATTERSON - (Continued)
The Director of Planning stated that the major issue in this matter is the 3-acre
park; that the City's General Plan contains a recommendation that neighborhood
parks should be a minimum of ten acres in size.
The Clerk reported no additional written communications had been received.
The appellant, Jerry I~o Patterson, 2636 N. Jessee Drive, stated that if a variance
comes before the City Council without an appeal, there is no public hearing, and
that he believed a public hearing should be held since the variance is in violation
of the policy in the South Warner area, it is a deviation from the General Plan and
from Plan "A", and it is in opposition to the Warner South Growth Policy Committee
Report.
Mr. Charles Davis, 3134 S. Rita Way, stated that the home o~vners in the area had
bought their property with intentions of a good, planned community; that they are
opposed to the high density because of problems that will be created in the schools,
parks, traffic, and taxes.
Mr. Victor Pellino, 1501 W. San Lorenzo, stated that the Council has approved
Plan "A" and it should be retained; that if the City deviates from this plan it is
taking a step backwards rather than forward°

ordinance is enacted, certain restricitions do not take effect immediately; that
this application was submitted last September and was delayed because of the
moratorium; that the City has no jurisdiction over schools; and that Sandpointe
Park has not been developed because the City does not have the money for it.

development had been started but that this is bare goun~, that they can build R ls
also; that the General Plan indicates R 1; that with regard to the park, the staff

had due notice, but he filed the appeal on behalf of the Sandpointe Homeowners'
Association; that he spoke on behalf of the Association and he was an officer of
the Association; that if there is a breakdown in communication, that is their
problem, within their organization; that therefore, there is no reason for
reconsideration.

other public hearings. The Director of Planning stated it was handled the same
as any other.
The Mayor stated he has been concerned with the development at the corner of

BEAR-RAITT ALIGNMENT dation to amend the General Plan
Land Use and Arterial Streets Element
relating to the Bear-Raitt Alignment proposed in Planning Commission Resolutlon
Noo 599L
The Assistant Director of Public Works stated that the realignment of Bear/Raitt
Street was given further study due to the development in the Warner-South area
which was greater than had been anticipated in the General Plan; that due to the
revised vehicle traffic estimates, it was concluded that the best realignment would
be to continue Bear Street north to Segerstrom and Raitt Street south to Sunflower;
that Raitt and Bear Streets with 100-feet right-of-way widths should provide ample
room for traffic, landscaping, hiking trail, bike trail; that the two roadways would
carry eight lanes of traffic; that most of the traffic dissipates within that area;
and that the proposed alignment would more easily accommodate the east-west
t raffic.

and enclosures dated April 21, 1972, from the Monterey Park Land Corporation,
which had been provided the Council. He stated that the realignment plan suggested
in that letter had received some support from City offices and the Planning
Commission, and that home o%~-ners in the area do not oppose it, though they do not
support it; that the amount of land his company has been required to dedicate has
reduced their acreage from Z0 acres to approximately 15. ~
Mr. Richard Lyon, 1409 E. Bay Avenue, Balboa, representing C.J. Segerstrom &
Sons, stated they are in opposition to the proposed alignment.

BEAR/RAITT ALIGNMENT (Cont.
Mr. Martin Bouman%, Alan M. Voorhees & Company, 5252 Balboa Avenue,
San Diego, stated that his company has conducted a traffic study of the area
for the Segerstrom family; that their best estimate of ~raf£ic to be generated
is 31, 000 vehicles; that the City is trying to protect the people in this area from
through traffic, but by splitting it and requiring a series of right and left turns,
these people would be penalized; that the proposed plan would require signalization
of eight intersections created by it; that it would require seven additional acres
of land for street rights-of-way; and that construction costs would be $125,000
more.
There were no further proponents or opponents, and the Mayor closed the public
hearing.
The Mayor stated that his basic feeling is that a through route is needed from
north to south to help relieve the traffic on Bristol and Fairview. Councilman
Herrln stated he was in favor of the two streets; that dividing the property into
parcels difficult to develop is a danger of the curvature of the street.
Councilman Herrin's motion, seconded by Councilman Evans, to instruct the
City Attorney to prepare the appropriate resolution to amend the Arterial
