REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS 15. neDort on orooosal to include additional work within the existing renova- tion contr~cl~ between the City and dim~y's Family of Fi~e .Restaurar, Ls (Director o~ BUilding & Housing/Director of Parks & Recreat~onj On December 15, 1981, the Council awarded a contract to Jimmy's Family of Fine Restaurants to renovate the existing Glenn Restaurant, including construction of two satellite buildings consisting of restrooms and a City Council Meeting - 5 - March 23, 1982 structure to house food and drink vending machines. Staff is now requesting authorization to negotiate a contract revision which will consolidate into one single satellite building accommodations for a new Pro Shop, public restrooms, and space for the food and drink vending machines. The members of the Council stated that they each visited the site and offered the following comments: (1) there should be a more inexpensive method for this proposal; (gl golf carts could be housed in the main- tenance shed next to the pond; (3) the proposed facility is too large; (4) the flat roof is out of character with the new building being put in; (5) Councilman Campbell suggested the facility be directly east of the No. 1 green alighment-wise and should have a low-profile hip roof with no second deck; (6) tie the architecture into the existing structure. MSUC (Scott/McCandliss) to direct staff (1) not to locate it where they have it slotted now; (2) keep eye,thing together; (3) make it architect- urally complimentary with the present building. Director of Parks and Recreation Pfister explained the reasoning behind the staff's recommendation. Director of Building and Housing Grady showed transparencies of diagrams of the plans for the new building. Councilman Campbell emphasized that if the pro shop is moved, staff and Council "will be very very sorry in the near future" because its location is as poor as he has ever seen - there is no visibility from inside the pro shop to the No. 1 tee, so there can be no efficient operation and guard of the tee if the person on the tee is not visible. As to the time element for the staff's report, City Manager Cole said that the report could possibly be ready on April 1 (Redevelopment Agency meeting). ~yor Cox commented that the Council will also be meeting on March 25 and if ready, the staff could present its report at that time. 16.

Councilwoman McCandliss commented that the Human Relations Commission recently had a presentation on pre-fab housing and she suggested this also be set for a Council Conference after budget time. City Council Meeting - 6 - March 23, 1982 c. Councilman Scott noted the announcement of a hearing by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regarding SDG&E's request for a rate increase. The hearing was scheduled for Los Angeles (March 22) and Councilman Scott felt the PUC should make themselves available to the people in this area so that there could be more in attendance. MSUC (Scott/Campbell) to direct staff to look into why the PUC holds their hearings in Los Angeles and come back with a recommendation as to whether or not the Council should ask the PUC to change their location (future hearings). d. Councilman Scott discussed the problem of the availability of land for mobilehome parks. With the large undeveloped Gersten property (Long Canyon and Eastlake) there should be some place there where mobilehome zones could be placed. MSUC (Scott/Cox) to request staff to (1) talk to the property owners on the zoned property and see if there is any interest in that regard; and (2) any new property that comes in on a P-C zone or a large parcel of property that staff address the preblem of mobilehome zoning. e.
