CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR MCCLOUD AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: RICH GUILLEN, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: 16 JUNE 2009
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ACTIONS RELATED TO DISCONTINUING AND ABANDONING THE USE OF THE FLANDERS MANSION PROPERTY AS PUBLIC PARKLAND
INTRODUCTION
On 12 May 2009, the City Council determined that the Flanders Mansion Property should be sold with conservation easements and mitigations. To accomplish this, the City must first hold a protest hearing, vote to override protests and place before the voters at a special election whether the use of this public park land should be discontinued and abandoned. At the meeting of 16 June 2009, the Council will consider the following:
Hold the protest hearing
A Resolution to override all protests
First reading of an Ordinance calling for a special election
PROTEST HEARING
California statutes provide safeguards against the loss of public parkland. The public must first have an opportunity to protest, both orally and in writing. After hearing all protests, the City Council may decide whether or not to proceed with the sale. The Statute requires a two-thirds vote of the Council. A proposed Resolution for this decision is attached.
ORDINANCE
If the protests are overridden, the Council then may adopt an Ordinance, calling for a special election. The Ordinance identifies the property and specifies the date of the election. A proposed Ordinance would call the special election for November 3, 2009, to coincide with the General Election set for that date. This would be a first reading. Second reading (adoption) would occur at the next regular City Council meeting on 7 July 2009.
Meeting Date: 16 June 2009
Prepared by: Rich Guillen, City Administrator
City Council
Agenda Item Summary
Name: Consideration of a Resolution Overriding All Protests Against Discontinuance and Abandonment of Use of the Flanders Mansion Property as Public Park Land.
Description: The proposed resolution will override all protests received during the protest hearing and allow for the discontinuance and abandonment of the Flanders Mansion Property as Public Parkland.
Overall Cost:
City Funds: N/A
Grant Funds: N/A
Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Resolution.
Important Considerations: California Statutes provide safeguards against the loss of public parkland. The public must first be given an opportunity to protest, both orally and in writing. After hearing all protests, the City Council can decide if it still wants to proceed with the sale. The Statute requires a two-thirds vote of the Council.

CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR MCCLOUD AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: RICH GUILLEN, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: 16 JUNE 2009
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ACTIONS RELATED TO DISCONTINUING AND ABANDONING THE USE OF THE FLANDERS MANSION PROPERTY AS PUBLIC PARKLAND
INTRODUCTION
On 12 May 2009, the City Council determined that the Flanders Mansion Property should be sold with conservation easements and mitigations. To accomplish this, the City must first hold a protest hearing, vote to override protests and place before the voters at a special election whether the use of this public park land should be discontinued and abandoned. At the meeting of 16 June 2009, the Council will consider the following:
Hold the protest hearing
A Resolution to override all protests
First reading of an Ordinance calling for a special election
PROTEST HEARING
California statutes provide safeguards against the loss of public parkland. The public must first have an opportunity to protest, both orally and in writing. After hearing all protests, the City Council may decide whether or not to proceed with the sale. The Statute requires a two-thirds vote of the Council. A proposed Resolution for this decision is attached.
ORDINANCE
If the protests are overridden, the Council then may adopt an Ordinance, calling for a special election. The Ordinance identifies the property and specifies the date of the election. A proposed Ordinance would call the special election for November 3, 2009, to coincide with the General Election set for that date. This would be a first reading. Second reading (adoption) would occur at the next regular City Council meeting on 7 July 2009.
Meeting Date: 16 June 2009
Prepared by: Rich Guillen, City Administrator
City Council
Agenda Item Summary
Name: Consideration of a Resolution Overriding All Protests Against Discontinuance and Abandonment of Use of the Flanders Mansion Property as Public Park Land.

Overall Cost:
City Funds: N/A

Important Considerations: California Statutes provide safeguards against the loss of public parkland. The public must first be given an opportunity to protest, both orally and in writing. After hearing all protests, the City Council can decide if it still wants to proceed with the sale. The Statute requires a two-thirds vote of the Council.

CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR McCLOUD AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: RICH GUILLEN, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: JUNE 8, 2009
SUBJECT: PROPOSED TRIENNIAL BUDGET FY 2009/2010 THROUGH 2011/2012 REVISIONS
Public input and Council direction was given at the May 27th Triennial Budget hearing.
The comments submitted touched on three main topics: 1) maintain the current Library services; 2) increase the marketing funding; and 3) fund some level of trolley service.
The revised draft budget proposes an increase of revenues to fund the additional items above. The additional Revenues are dependent on Council action to move forward with an increase to the parking citations, agreeing to the Carmel Public Library Foundation proposal to fund one-third of the cost of maintaining library services, and making a fund transfer from the Capital Project Reserve (the proposed revenue adjustments are shown on page 2).
The proposed additional expenditures in the budget also are shown on page 3. Explanation of a few of these items is as follows (the other items need no explanation since they were discussed at the last budget hearing):
1. The proposed increase to the marketing budget is to maintain the current level of destination marketing funding paid to the City’s consultant, Burghardt-Dore. The revised level is $128,750 vs. what was shown in the draft budget or $112,500. No increase to the MCCVB funding, as requested by MCCVB staff and the Carmel Innkeepers Association, is included in the proposed budget amendments. No funding is included for the Carmel Chamber of Commerce for the Guides to Carmel.
2. The trolley service is proposed to operate exclusively on weekends and holidays starting on the 4th of July Weekend and ending on Labor Day. Mr. Hunter Horvath with MST has agreed to this level of service at an estimated operating cost of $12,600.
3. Capital Budget additions are to fund projects that won’t be completed in FY 2008/2009, such as the Forest Theater schematic design, the Scenic Road restrooms (Beacheads), the Mission Trails Nature Preserve footbridge, etc.
4. Reductions in the Departmental expenditures are an adjustment after staff finetuned some of the initial assumptions made with the initial draft of the Triennial Budget.
The combination of the above Revenue increases and Expenditure adjustments provides the City Council with the opportunity to adopt a balanced budget. If, however, the State decides to move forward on borrowing 8% of the City’s property tax or considers other revenue takeaways, staff will return to the Council with a budget adjustment that could have significant adverse impacts on City services.
