AGENDA ITEM "B" - PRESENTATION - ARMED FORCES RESERVE CENTER -
DISASTER SUPPORT MISSION
Lt. Col. Ron Kludt, Chief of the Military Support Branch
of the California National Guard, introduced himself and
Mr. Al Lockhart, Assistant Director of the California Office
of Emergency Services, and made a presentation relating
to the California Disaster Support Mission. Lt. Col. Kludt
reported that the Disaster Support Area concept was
developed approximately five years ago in an effort to
address the possibility of an earthquake with a potential
magnitude of 8.3 in the southern and northern San Andreas
fault area. He explained that a number of concepts were
considered that would address handling the large number
of casualties reSUlting from such disaster, and in an effort
to revise the existing policy of moving support into an
area where and when it was necessary. He noted that local
care facilities would more than likely also incur damage
and would be unable to care for such a large number of
casualties, therefore the concept of moving casualties
out of the affected area to difinitive care facilities
in unaffected areas was borne. He explained that casualties
could be evacuated to such cities as Salt Lake, Portland
or other cities not affected by the earthquake itself,
and that from this concept a casualty collection point
was conceived, referring to the Disaster Support Area,
which would also allow for interface with various counties
and provide for medical attention for an overflow of
casualties. Lt. Col. Kludt explained the functions of
a Disaster Support Area which includes: the medical function,
allowing for immediate care and/or air lifting outside
the area; 2) communication function, coordinated with the
State OES, that can be used as a single source of information
4-23-84
and assistance from any State or federal resource; and
3) a support marshalling area where supplies can be brought
and prepared for distribution. He reported that a
preparedness exercise was conducted in 1982, at which time
communication channels were established in Los Angeles,
Ventura and San Bernardino counties, providing a direct
communication link to the DSA. The Lt. Col. stated that
the DSA would also be capable of making an aerial assessment, I
utilizing federal and state military and civilian aircraft,
in order to establish the areas of greatest priority.
Lt. Col. Kludt reported that approximately four years ago
a decision was made to use Los A1amitos as a DSA, which
was done with the understanding that the area met certain
criteria: it would accommodate various size aircraft;
equipment is in place for aircraft instrument approaches
and take-off; the necessary ramp area was available to
marshall supplies; emergency medical facilities could be
quickly set up; and the Los A1amitos Center is owned by
the military. The Lt. Col. stated that if for some reason
the DSA were forced to move from the Los Alamitos Center
it would be necessary to relocate elsewhere, possibly
Ontario, March Air Force Base, E1 Toro, any area that
would meet the criteria for a DSA. In response to Council,
Lt. Col. Kludt explained that if anything were to happen
to the approaches at Los Al that would preclude its use
as a DSA, such as encroachments into the air space to a
point where an adequate operating window could not be
maintained for instrument approaches or if determined to
be unsafe to operate as a DSA, an attempt would be made
to relocate to Ontario, March Air Force Base or elsewhere
that would be within thirty minutes distance for
transportation of casualties. He estimated the time to I
relocate a DSA facility would be twenty-four hours. Since
the Los A1amitos Center is situated in a developed area,
a member of the Council inquired what would be considered
a major encroachment. Lt. Col. Kludt stated he could not
answer that question, that he would have to rely on their
experts to define at what point the instrument operation
out of Los Alamitos would be hazardous. A comparison was
made between the two California disaster facilities, Travis
Air Force Base and the Los A1amitos Center, noting that
Los A1 has DSA designated buildings, communication banks
and telephones in place, equipment, packaged disaster
hospitals and medical supplies stored at the Center. Mr.
Lockhart confirmed that there are only two DS~ facilities
in California at this time, stating others will more than
likely be established as money and time permit. He referred
to the California Earthquake Response Plan for the San
Adreas fault and the concurrence of other geologists and
scientists that there is a fifty percent possiblity of
a major earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault within
the next thirty years. Mr. Lockhart referred to actions
that would be taken in the case of a Newport-Inglewood
fault quake, and future intent to establish DSA facilities
at March Air Force Base and in the San Bernardino County
area. with regard to referenced encroachments, a member
of the Council asked the representatives if they were I
familiar with a proposed development in the vicinity of
"the Los A1amitos Center. Lt. Col. Kludt responded in the
affirmative and stated he and Mr. Lockhart had appeared
before the Airport Land Use Commission when the development
was considered by that agency and that they had also met
with Counci1member Laszlo and Councilman-elect Clift, at
which time it was suggested that a presentation be made
before the entire Council so that each member would be
aware of this mission at Los Alamitos. A question was
posed to Lt. Col. Kludt as to whether or not the disaster
4-23-84
facilities and equipment would be moved from Los Alamitos
if the Bixby project was built as proposed. Lt. Col. Kludt
again stated he could not respond to the question, but
would have to rely on those experts, the FAA and personnel
at the Los Alamitos airfield, to determine at what point
instrument aircraft operations would not be safe at Los
Alamitos. The Mayor and members of the Council expressed
appreciation to Lt. Col. Kludt and Mr. Lockhart for their
presentation to the Council.

Coast Industrial Coatings, Inc., of Paso Robles, had not
received the addendum prior to mailing his bid, therefore
was not included in the total bid amount. The Director
stated that he had discussed this matter with the City
Attorney who stated that in his opinion the City could
award the bid to the low bidder for the following reasons:
1) the bid of West Coast Industrial Coatings would remain
the lowest bid even with the addition of bid item number

REPORT - EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT - DEPARTMENT OF
WATER AND POWER PROPERTY
The City Manger reported that the City staff has been
attempting to reach agreement with the Department of Water
and Power on a park/hotel complex pursuant to the City's
Specific Plan for approximately two years, with those
negotiations ending in impasse in December, 1983. He
reported that concurrently, the staff has spoken with
approximately twelve developers attempting to secure their I
interest in the development. Mr. Parker stated that the
City's present course of action is to select a developer,
negotiate a dispostion/deve10pment agreement with that
developer to establish the parameters of the development
and a land price based on those parameters, and to tender
an offer to the DWP to purchase the property, noting that
should DWP refuse the officer, condemnation would be
considered. The City Manager reviewed the criteria in
selecting a potential developer, and recommended that the
City enter into an exclusive negotiating agreement with
the Feinberg Group, Inc. for the DWP site development for
a period of one year. Mr. Parker affirmed that this
agreement does not preclude further negotiations with the
DWP, and reported that by separate letter of agreement
a marketing study will be made, the cost of which will
be borne equally by the Feinberg Group and the State
Coastal Conservancy. A member of the Council suggested
that alternate wording be included to allow for the "sale
or lease" of the DWP site. The City Manager noted that
should the DWP offer to lease the site, that could be
accomplished under the ausp~ces of this agreement. Mr.
J. Feinberg was introduced, assured the Council of their
interest in securing and developing the DWP site, and
responded to Council that the Feinberg Group, Inc. is owned I
totally by he and his brother. Counci1member Risner stated
for the record that should the subject property come close
to condemnation proceedings, many points will have to be
investigated prior to such action obligating the Agency
to the land purchase. Brownell moved, second by Grgas,
to approve the exclusive negotiating agreement with the
Feinberg Group, Inc. for a period of one year and authorize
the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of
the City.

REPORT - PIER CAFE REPAIRS~IMPROVEMENTS
The City Manager summarize the repairs and improvements
to the pier Cafe as submitted by Sharon Leonard, as well
as staff comments regarding same. The City Manager reported
that the estimate of repairs submitted ranged from $65,000
to $75,000, and stated that should the Council authorized
the repairs, it would be the staff's recommendation that
the City Manager be authorized to retain an
architect/electrical engineer to prepare plans and bid
specifications, clarifying that the estimates submitted
by Ms. Leonard were not sufficient to allow the City to
advertise for bids. Mr. Parker stated that a question I
had been raised as to the cost of constructing a new pier
Cafe, and reported that based upon an estimated cost of
$50 per square foot and assuming that the floor slab would
remain, $l40,000 was a preliminary cost estimate. Mr.
Parker pointed out that the cost estimate did not include
restaurant equipment. The City Manager suggested that
if the Council chooses to raze and reconstruct the pier
Cafe, funding for same would be from the Plant and Equipment
4-23-84
I
Fund, to be repaid through revenues generated from the
pier facility and the Chevron operation, which is due to
be reactivated in 1985, also noting that the $50,000 annual
allocation for pier maintenance will more than likely not
be needed for several years. Discussion continued regarding
responsibility for replacement of cafe equipment; continuance
of the existing lease; time frame for new construction;
potential for increased revenue to the City; application
to the State Coastal Conservancy or other agencies requesting
additional funds for the cafe reconstruction; and it was
clarified that FEMA would not share in this cost. Noting
that new construction may not be completed for four to
five months, the City Manager stated it may be necessary
to put temporary trailers in place until such time as the
cafe is completed. The City Attorney recommended that
if a new cafe is constructed, it would be in the best
interest of the City to prepare a new lease agreement,
and at the direction of Council, with the stipulation that
it would be under the same terms as the existing lease
and with the same operator. It was clarified that
construction of a new cafe would have no effect on the
FEMA funding for reconstruction of the pier, also that
it would have no adverse effect on the current contract
with Magnus Company. Grgas moved, second by Vanderstaay,
to authorize the staff to obtain the services of an architect
for preparation of renderings for a new pier cafe, and
to investigate the cost of fixturization. After further
discussion and with consent of the makers, the motion was
amended to authorize an expenditure for architectural
services up to $5,000. The City Attorney suggested that
the lease be reviewed at such time as the Council makes
a final decision regarding construction of a new cafe.

REQUEST - LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS - USE OF COUNCIL CHAMBERS
The City Manager reported that a request had been received
from the League of Women Voters to use City Council Chambers
on May 23 or 24 for the purpose of presenting a program
relating to June 5th ballot measures. The City Manager
stated it would be staff's recommendation that a $5 per
hour fee be paid for the presence of a staff person and
that a $50 refundable deposit be required, in accordance
with the recent Council policy for use of the Chambers.
Georgiana Brown, 14th Street, member of the League of Women
voters, spoke in support of their request, and stated that
the date of the program has been established for May 23rd
at 7:30 p.m. Ms. Brown expressed concern with the fees
and deposit recommended by staff and requested same be
waived. She also reported that Group W Cable was imposing
a fee of $500 for technical services, and asked if
consideration could be given to paying the Group W fee
from the local cable programming funds paid annually by
Group W. Lengthy discussion followed. Risner moved, second
by Brownell, to allow the League of Women Voters the use
of Council Chambers on Wednesday, May 23rd from 6:30 until
9:00 p.m., with the condition that the League pay $5 per
hour for staff personnel required to be present and a $50
