V. COUNCIL REPORT
A. Chairman – Gary Davis. Mr. Davis commented on the large attendance present and clarified that the majority were there, at the Supervisor’s invitation to speak at a special meeting regarding the number of home and car break-ins occurring in the town. Because this is a special topic it will be brought up after the regular SMAC meeting adjourns. He also noted that many of the citizens normally present are involved in the Mid State Fair and absent.
Mr. Davis said because of the confusion regarding the wording in the by laws about write in candidates he wants to enjoin a sub committee to look at them and update them. They will then be brought back to the Council for approval. Sharon Brower, Jean Hoffmann and Patricia Mc Harris will serve on the By Laws subcommittee.
Mr. Davis brought up a complaint that he had received about the sale of fireworks in the town of San Miguel. This brought up considerable discussion including the facts from a Fire Department representative John Green with Fred Thacker also adding to them. 1) There were no fires within San Miguel 2) One call was received, of an illegal fire off of Well-sona. 3) The CSD controls the fireworks sold in San Miguel. 4) Anyone selling fireworks must pay $500.00 to be bonded and must pay $1000.00 to the CSD to cover the fire personnel, in case of a fire. Mr. Davis said he would pass on this information to the party who had complained.
Sharon Brower brought up that she saw 2-3 flyers referring to the meeting tonight when she was posting agendas. The flyers were in English and Spanish but there was no way to determine where they came from. Linda Vaughn was recognized from the attending citizens and explained that she had done the flyers and posted them. She stated she has lived in different addresses in San Miguel for 35 years and she is very concerned about the car break ins. She got involved because of her husband’s truck being broken into “more than once”. She wonders “What happened to the Volunteer Citizen’s Patrol and what can we do to get it going again or what else can we do?” She was reminded by Mr. Davis that after the SMAC meeting there would be a whole meeting devoted to that. As to the flyers she was informed that they were confusing and that an easy fix is to document who they were from at the bottom of the page. She stated she understood and would do that if she put out more notices. Ms. Brower thanked her as did Mr. Davis.
B. CSD Liaison – Sharon Brower told the Council and audience that Mike had sent her an e-mail asking that she give them a report. She apologized, stating that she couldn’t find the e-mail copy.

VII. PUBLIC REPORTS
CHP/Sheriff – No one present to speak
CSD – Dale Hamblin – Reports that the meeting was last Thursday on the 22nd. The Fire Chief reported that there were no fire incidences within San Miguel. There was a special recognition given to Fire Personnel: Kelly Dobbs, Phil Brown and Kevin Byrne. He reports that the 2010-2011 Budget is back to committee. The 2008 “grate” study was done to determine if repairs will be covered at N Street. If the sewer water is elevated it will apply, if the water is not elevated it will not apply. The rate adjustment per property will be back before the Board at the next meeting – Aug 26th. (This is the property tax billing that is proposed, where the water and sewer bills will be included with the six month property tax bill.)
The Fire Chief is requested purchase of a 4-W-D utility truck with a slide in unit. The re-quest was approved by the Board.
A test drill will be done along with the second tank – up on the hill by #1 tank, since that tank includes a new well. The proposed well by the Mission has not been approved yet and the staff is looking for an alternate site.
There have been problems in the past on the ______ sewer line so the question is whether to replace it or not.
John Green, a School Board member and community activist stated “that people should attend the Public Meeting at the CSD Thursday, August 26, at 7:00 PM. That meeting is to determine if the Board should go forward with the decision to put the water and sewer bills on our property taxes.”
Tom Vaughn said, “I get three trash bills so that would be three bills added on to my property tax.”
John Green, “At the last meeting I asked who initiated this – I did not get an answer.”
Jean Hoffmann and Craig Rambo to attend the Aug. 26th meeting and report back to the Advisory Council.
Supervisor’s Office – Supervisor Mecham commended the Fire Department on their “Clean Up Days. He also wanted to let everyone know that the CSD and Camp Roberts will be meeting to discuss a plan for joint land use study. The Federal Government will cover 90% while the 10% will be an in-kind cost.
His office hours for San Miguel will be at the CSD next Thursday from 3PM to 5PM. Citizens are invited to stop by to discuss any concerns or just to meet and say hello.
Jean Hoffmann asked the Supervisor about crosswalks at 13th and River Rd. He replied that they have requested funding to complete the improvement.
Commander Nuismer, from Camp Roberts was asked if there was anything new from Camp Roberts. She offered that they have fenced off a part of the Salinas River in a move to deter motorcycle use through the river bed.

the Chairpersons meeting he attended.
Questions that came up were: Can the
Council’s have fundraisers? He explained that the
County is in a crunch and is unable to fund the
Councils as they did before. He also asked if
anyone has any input to please pass it on to the
Council. Another item that was discussed and

synopsis on how the projects get to the Council,
saying that Elizabeth Kavanaugh, the North
County Planner is responsible for bringing the
projects to us.

the Council we hammered every month about
why they are trying to send so much low cost
housing to us.”
Denis Degher said that “Six months ago I spoke
before the Board of Supervisors against low cost.”
Gary Davis explained that the “numbers are
presented by the state and the County can go
against them.” He said that the “County has
numbers that show the population at 1290 and a
projection of 1158 by 2025.”

B. CSD Liaison – Mike Sanders reported that they
are still working behind closed doors on the
property; owned by the Grizzles, north of the
Waste Treatment Plant. Mr. Sanders wanted
people to be aware that the last meeting was the
first of three required meetings to placing the bills
on the tax rolls. He said that citizens who do not
want to see this happen need to attend the
meetings.
VI. PUBLIC REPORTS
CHP/Sheriff – Sheriff Josh Calagna introduced
himself and was immediately queried by Mike
Sanders re: the recent car thefts. He said they are
using unmarked cars and all night surveillances in
attempts to catch the thieves at work. He also
said that most of the thefts occurred because the
cars were left unlocked and most were also on K
and L Streets. He explained that there are two
beats; beat one is south of Templeton to the
Cuesta grade and beat 2 is north of Templeton to
the county line. There can be 4-9 deputies on duty
for both beats and during the daylight hours they
have single cars (one car – one deputy) up until
9:00 Pm then they switch to two deputies to one
car (for safety). A slim or light night shift would
consist of three cars while a regular or heavier night
would allow for six cars. This shift continues to 3:00
AM and is often called the graveyard shift.
Geof O’Keefe asked Deputy Calagna “I assume
you’re asking for more staff but the budget doesn’t
allow it?
The Deputy’s response was “I’m a line staff person
and I’m happy in my job.
Robin Chapman brought up the ongoing problem of
the motorcycles in the river. Colleen Enk – “They
have a right of way.” Deputy Calagna replied that,
“We don’t have the re-sources to go down into the
river bed. If they come up out of the river bed we
deal with them at that point.”
Gary Davis added, “As you know we’ve had
representatives from the Sheriff’s Department, who
have verified that there are two 4 wheel vehicles in
the warehouse.” Denis Degher, “I’ll volunteer to
ride.”
Lynne Schmitz stated she had seen the CHP
chasing motorcyclists down the railroad right of way.

CSD – Dale Hamblin – Not present
Supervisor’s Office – Both Frank Mecham and Vicki
Shelby present. Mr. Mecham said he had a very
interesting day. “They had a Level 2 at Diablo Canyon
this morning during the time they were doing a
scheduled test. It was a carbon dioxide leak and no
radiation leaked, but it created a lot of calls. Yesterday,
6/22, Vicki and I went to a meeting where they said the
test would be done in July or August and then this
happened today. There were a lot of rumors and those
are hard to contain.”
“My office hours will be tomorrow in Paso Robles from
9-11 and then at Heritage Ranch from 2-4. We also did
the 3 day budget hearing in 1 and ½ days. The budget
was balanced and passed for 2010 – 2011.”
Colleen Enk asked about the status on the water shed
study – as it relates to the mines?”
Mr. Mecham replied that the Pankey Mine is close to
completion on the EIR.
Laverne Buckman wanted to know “What’s happening
with the railroad crossing?”
Mr. Mecham responded he was not sure , “We’re trying
to push it along, there’s an area in Templeton also that
we’re looking at.”
Mike Sanders asked, “What does it mean, a balanced
budget?”
Mr. Mecham said, “It means that when what we have
in revenue is spent that’s it. The budget will be a
moving target as the state continues on. We’ve had to
eliminate 250 positions.”
Geof O’Keefe asked, “What’s going on with Mission St.?”
Mr. Mecham replied, “It’s been approved. It will be in
the next budget cycle – next year.”
NATIVE DAUGHTERS OF THE GOLDEN WEST – Jean
Hoffmann reported that , At the Annual Meeting in
Ventura last week we honored Lynne Schmitz for her
history here and her publicizing of this area.” There
was a round of applause while Lynne stood.

project. (COAL 07-0036). “They are ready to start
construction.” And the: Ruben and Susan Garcia – 35
acre project. “ This is the lot split that came before
the Council about 2 and ½ years ago. I would have
to ask Elizabeth exactly when. They want to get a
split that would consist of one lot at 24 acres and
the second at 10 acres. This would consist of two
parcels, the exact acreage would be 24.87 and 9.65.
The numbers on those are APN 027-171-011 and
APN 027-121-005.”

He said that it seemed like all of the Councils present really listened and participated in the workshop.
Mr. Davis added that John Nall, Environmental Planner was present and he wanted every-one to know how approachable Mr. Nall was, much like our Division 1 Supervisor, Frank Mecham. But…, he added you need to approach him and ask the questions. He will return calls and Gary said he went over all the topics he was concerned about. Mr. Mecham in-terjected that the first person to address concerns to would be Elizabeth Kavanaugh and then she could direct on to Mr. Nall if she wished to.
B. CSD Liaison – Mike Sanders reported that he had no report because the meeting wasn’t until tomorrow night May 27th. Sharon Brower added that she had information that the CSD was going to sponsor both the Christmas Parade and the Sagebrush Days Parade, saying this is good news because they have the necessary insurance. Mr. Sanders said that he had planned to go the Lions to see if they were willing to sponsor one or both but he is glad that the CSD stepped up because he did not think the Lions would be able to do it. Mrs. Brower stated it made good sense for the CSD to be the sponsors as the Volunteer Firemen contribute so much of their time and energies to the parades.

Mr. Mecham said that he, along with Matt Jensen (District One planner and Ombudsman), and Adam Hill met with members of the Business Community over a two day period to discuss economic issues. He states it was an “amazing discussion. They dealt with all manner of problems from the lower reim-bursement rate for Medical Doctors in this area and some of the Technical Business of-fered ideas that could be implemented to assist the doctors with their billing etc. He re-ports that the grading and conservation elements have been approved. The next Board of Supervisors meeting is on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 and that will be followed by a three day budget meeting. The county has a $406 million dollar budget with a $17 million dollar def-icit.
San Miguel Resource Connection – Laverne Buckman reported that tomorrow night, May 27th, Lillian Larsen School would be holding an Open House. The Healthy Hornets, the group of students who are in the Healthy Eating Active Living program (sponsored by the
Resource Connection) will have displays and free tastings for the public, to show what they have been learning. This program is designed to teach the children about healthy eating, growing produce and how to use it in daily eating. The Open House starts at 5:30 PM.
PUBLIC COMMENT – Linda Mora said that people coming in to dining establishment have been asking why the early AM bus, coming from San Luis Obispo can’t pick up riders in Paso Robles to bring them to San Miguel. Vicki Shelby, Frank Mecham’s Legislative As-sistant will follow up on this.
Lieutenant Colonel George Leone from Camp Roberts reports that the fire on the range at the Camp yesterday has been contained. The smoke from that fire was seen over all of North County, blowing south into Paso Robles with the wind. He reports that they will be doing some controlled burns in an attempt to lessen the danger during troop exercises. Commander, Colonel Barbara Nuismer also informed the Council that they are making every attempt at the Camp to eradicate the Yellow Star Thistle. They scraped their fire breaks prior to the bloom of the plants and they are using herbicides wherever feasible. Bob Lille of the County Ag Department is working on the Thistle problem, which is quickly spreading and taking over in the North County. It has gone from being a pest to a real problem.
CSD Report – Dale Hamblin. Mr. Hamblin has arrived and asked to give report. The CSD will be holding their monthly meetings on the fourth Thursday of the month from now on. At tomorrow night’s meeting they will begin the first review of the fiscal budget for 2010-2011. Dependent on this a decision must be made on whether to proceed with the second tank. This tank carries a $2.5 million price tag. There will be more discussion to consider putting all services on the annual tax role. The reason behind this is to ensure that the CSD receives payment when landholders move or just neglect to pay their contractual bill. The CSD currently does not have the ability to collect arrears if the party moves. The Board will also be looking at a new format for their regular agenda. Mr. Hamblin reports that LAFCO wants to have an additional election to fill an alternate position. After the elec-tion of two months ago the person elected to the alternate position became a regular member when someone resigned. There is a question of whether this election can be combined with the general election.
VII COUNTY PLANNING REPORT – Elizabeth Kavanaugh is present but there are no new projects up for review. Gary Davis reported he received supplemental draft notice on the Carrizo Plains Solar project. Ms. Kavanaugh reports that the Board of Supervisors would be looking at the Resource Capacity study. The meeting can be seen on Channel 21 – web stream. Other information; San Miguel – determines to infill. The Estrella River Project okayed for an EIR by the Planning Dept. Gary Davis said he had received a letter from Jamie Kirk, agent for the Estrella River project stating that the Planning Commission is letting them go forward with the EIR and she wanted to know if the San Miguel Advisory Council wanted to review the project prior to the EIR. Mr. Davis let her know that the Council would prefer to see it once the county is finished with their requirements.
Ryan Chapman, Planning Engineer does traffic engineering for the county and is here this evening to speak to a request from the San Miguel Volunteer Fire Dept. to convert the three al-
ley ways in San Miguel to one way. Mr. Chapman states that Chief Roland Snow is concerned and wishes the change because fire trucks have come face to face when reporting to an emergency call. Commander Nuismer excused herself and made a phone call to the Camp Roberts Fire Station. She returned to give the Council the Base Fire Dept’s experience. (They respond to calls in San Miguel also) She stated that her Chief said that because of the same problems they park their “rigs” on the street and walk in. After discussion back and forth it became apparent that the Council did not feel comfortable voting on this issue without input from the people who live on the alleyways. Mr. Chapman is to devise a questionnaire to go out to the addresses that front on the alleyways. Ms. Brower made the suggestion that they should be both in English and in Spanish as there is a strong Spanish population in the area.
Mr. Davis opened the floor to nominations for four regular seats and two alternate seats on the Council. The election will be held on June 23rd.
Patricia McHarris was nominated by Andrea Hobbs
Jean Hoffmann was nominated by Fred Thacker
Gary Davis was nominated by Sharon Brower
