Thank you. The regular planning commission meeting for the city of Mor ro Bay, June 16th, 2026. First order of agenda is the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Do any of the planning commissioners have any announcements to make? Okay, seeing none. Now would be the time for public comment for items which are not on tonight's agenda. Is there anyone that wishes to speak on items not on tonight's agenda? Good evening. Two items and one led into the other. I was curious about the 416 Main Street project that's going on right now. I remember when it came before planning commission and I thought that the garage was supposed to stay and be turned into an ADU or something like that. But it got knocked down. The front house got knocked down. So my question is, how do I find an update about that? Which led me to look into the old minutes for the planning commission. And I would like to make the suggestion that the recent minutes for 2026 only list the case number, but not like an address so you know what the item's about. But if you go back to when Mr. Stingwald first came on in the 2004 or 2005, you had both the case number and the address so you could reference what it is you're looking for. And so I would just like to ask that maybe we go back to including addresses in our minutes. So we know how to find items. Thank …

Good evening everyone. Thank you for joining us for the Tuesday June 9th City Council meeting. Let the minutes reflect. All council members are present. Call the meeting to order. We'll begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. Council Member LaFayette. Thank you. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation , under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you everyone. What a beautiful day in Morro Bay. A little blustery but still gorgeous. We will begin with the closed session report from Mr. Stack . Good evening, Mayor, council members, and members of the public. The city council met in closed session this afternoon to discuss two matters. One was a real property negotiation matter involving the property at 231 Atascadero Road, also known as the Teen Center. And the other item was a potential litigation item. No reportable action was taken for either item under the Brown Act. Thank you very much, Mr. Stack. With that, we will move into the mayor and council member reports, announcements, presentations. I'll kick off real quick. I want to start by recognizing the class of 2026, Morro Bay High School, graduating seniors last week. I had the opportunity to attend senior tribute night along with council member LaFay. Our future looks bright. What a great group of graduates and kids. We had the opportunity to recognize 16 of them who had done anywhere from 80 to 211 hours of community service. An …

Thank you. I wanted to thank you. Thank you. Yeah. and also installing trails so it would be more of a active use kind of situation. Okay yeah that was my question so basically the habitat restoration is probably limited to no use by the public whereas the wetland restoration is more. That was meant to be kind of one of the differentiators yeah. Perfect and then another question the Marine Science Institute love the concept and it's probably way too soon to ask this question I think I already know the answer but there's no indication that any is there an indication that anybody is interested in that particular concept or it's just it's sound it does sound great is do we have any interest in that from anybody outside the No we're not currently talking with any organization is interested at this point. Okay thank you. Oh wait I have one more sorry last one. The boat the travel hoist it is what I thought the picture was of in this in this focus area too there was a hoist to remove and is there an identified area that that travel hoist is going to travel to to take the vessels? Is that the boat storage yard? Does that make sense? So if we're pulling vessels out okay you've got it. Yes okay so okay thanks helpful. I had a question on area two focus area two and it made me think about it we had got some agenda correspondence referring to some of these concepts as massive.

Thank you. Good evening, everyone. Thank you for joining us for the city council meeting, city of Morro Bay. Let the minutes reflect. All council members are present. And we will start with the Pledge of Allegiance. And I'll ask our city clerk to lead us, please. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you, everyone, again, for joining us. We will move into our report. And I will turn it over to the city attorney. Thank you, Mr. Stack. Good evening, mayor, council members, and members of the public. The city council did not meet in closed session since the last regular meeting. Thank you, Mr. Stack. With that, we will move on to mayor and council member reports, announcements, and presentations. I'm going to kick off tonight and then pass it down. A lot that was going on the last two weeks since I saw you all. We, myself, the city manager and council member Lafay, attended a conference down in Newport Beach. It's the same one similar to what we go to Washington, D.C. for every year, lobbying for our dredging funds. This one wasn't as much lobbying as it was understanding the infrastructure, the budgeting, and where the federal government is on our budgeting right now with our harbor needs. So it was very informative. I'm sure that there will be some more shared from the city manager and council member Lafay. We had a lot of activities go …

Thank you. This next Friday, Thank you. We have a large, They're a very, you know, And then, you know, normal barbecue, you know, I believe that's it, you know, I know I had mentioned it to you before that we had kind of thrown the idea out. Both Dean and I are definitely on board. We have agreed to do a quarterly recreation guide. It will come out four times in the year. We haven't decided dates yet. That's something that between Dean and then our group, we'll have to make a schedule when it's appropriate for, you know, registration, openings, activities, our larger events. So we are in that process now. When we talked about price, it's going to cost somewhere between $10,000 and $11,000 for the whole entire year. So that's for the four quarterly guides that we'll put out. It'll look really neat. It's the middle page of the newspaper. So it'll have double the insert and it'll be a four-page guide. It will come out. They'll also be printing 100 extra. And Dean actually and his team will go and distribute those at other places. And then what's nice about it is you'll be able to pull the guide right out. I actually have an example if you guys would like to see. It's kind of neat. This was for the bird festival. That is. And so then you'll just be able to take it out. And then you can keep it forever until the next one comes up. Okay. That's my update. May I ask you a question about that in relationship to all the great summer activities and sports that you've talked about? Will …

Thank you. All right, well, good evening, everyone, to the regular meeting of our Public Works Advisory Board meeting. It's May 20th, 530 p.m. And as vice chair, I'm sitting in for the chairman, Robert Nava, tonight. And if I can ask Janine to take a roll call for us, please. Board Member Dahlgren? Here. Board Member Goddard Cross? Here. Board Member Hill? Here. Vice Chair Donnelly? Chair Nava? If there is a quorum, present 4-1. Okay, thank you. So with that, I'd like to, if you could follow me in the P ledge of Allegiance. Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. So with that, do any of the board members have any announcements to make? Just a quick one. Okay. It may not be Public Works related, but I had attended the firehouse open house on Saturday. There was representatives from the Ham Radio Emergency Response, the friends of Moral Bay Fire Department, the SER P people. Also, Carlos and his team members were there showing off some of their new equipment. And they had a lot of things for the kids to do, and it was a pretty nice time. Great. Thank you. I'd like to report that I went to the Waterfront Master Plan Workshop the other night, and it wasn't as well attended as the first one. They had some beautiful brochures that, who knows how much they cost. But some of my, if I were to critique it, I wonder, well, first of all, we couldn't hear very well. That was a little frustrating. I also wonder what informat …
