The complaints she has received is that when the RFP is put otlt, it is written in such a manner to exclude a lot of companies that could compete fi)r the bond underwriting business. In the fiiture, when the bond goes up fi>r sale, she would like to h~ok at the RFP to see how it is written to get some tinderstanding as to how staff chooses a company that will underwrite that bond.

Instead of listing in the staff report reasons why a demonstration prqject would not wnrk, she would like to see more on how we could overcome those problems that are listed.

PUBLIC HEARING PCA 98-02; CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO SECTION 19.58.147 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO REVISE STANDARDS FOR LARGE FAMILY DAY CARE HOMES - CITY INITIATED ~ Section 19.58.147 of the Municipal Code outlines required standards tbr granting of a large family day care permit. Staff is proposing amending three standards: (1) the distance separation required; (2) the temporary parking requirement: and (3) the noticing radius distance.

Per staff recommendation, the ordinance was placed i~n first reading. (Acting Director of Planning) ORDINANCE 2717 AMENDING SECTION 19.58.147 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO REQUIRED STANDARDS FOR LARGE FAMILY DAY CARE HOMES (first reudinlg) This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was opened. There being no one indicating a desire to address Council the public hearing was closed. Councilmember Salas questioned the requirement that the hmneowner utilize the garage if it exists on site for the parking of personal vehicles. She knew of several providers of Day Care that have converted their garages in order to expand the play area so when the weather was bad, the children would have someplace to play. She was wondering about the wisdom iff requiring vehicles to be parked inside the garage and how this could be enfi~rced. Ken Lee, Acting Planning Director, replied that the City requires anyone who has a single thmily dwelling to have a two-car garage. What we were experiencing were situations where people had converted their garages and then had no place to park their vehicle. They would then utilize their driveway and yet want to proceed with a Day Care operation which meant their personal vehicle was parked in the street. Regarding enti~rcement, the City would inspect the property to make sure that they could physically park their vehicles in the garage. They have to provide the City and the licensing agent with a floor plan, and they must adhere to that. This is also reviewed by the Fire Department periodically. Minutes December 16, 1997 Page 7 Councilmember Rindone asked if the two new modifications were so that it would prevent two facilities going in within 300 feet in order to prevent back-to-back Day Care Centers on adjacent streets. Mr. Lee responded that under the present provisions, we have a 1200 fbot separation, but it is only along the same street. To avoid an extensive concentration in one area, staff is recommending that the 300 fi~ot separation from lot to lot be implemented. The 1200 fi>ot distance will also remain in the Code. ORDINANCE 2717 PLACED ON FIRST READING BY COUNCILMEMBER RINDONE, heading read, text waived, passed and appruved unanimuusly 5-0. 19. PUBLIC HEARING PCA 98-01; CONSIDERATION OF A SERIES OF AMENDMENTS TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW THE ADOPTION AND ADMINISTRATION OF AN ENHANCED CODE ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM - In response to Council referrals regarding the need f~r more effective code enforcement, staff is recommending the Municipal Code be revised. The proposed revisions are intended to expand the munber of enfi~rcement methods available to City departments responsible fi~r enfi>rcing the Municipal Code, and to create a standardized appeal procedure utilizing a hearing examiner in lieu of hearings before Council. Numerous existing sections of the Municipal C~de are proposed fi>r n~odificatilm to reference these new enfbrcement methods and appeal procedures. Staffing to be brought back as part of the budget.
