Councilmember Haffa said that he would like to agendize the noise aspects. Councilmember Smith suggested stronger language regarding the view impacts. Councilmember Haffa suggested adding language such as, "protecting views is a principal objective of the City Council in drafting this ordinance.” Mayor Roberson opened public comment on the item.

On question, City Attorney Davi clarified that staff's objective has been to regulate these facilities to the fullest extent possible under federal statutes. Tripp May, Special Counsel, said that both state and federal law allows the City to consider cumulative impacts on a case-by- case basis. Ms. Davi said that the ordinance as drafted will sufficiently and adequately address the stated concerns. It was moved by Councilmember Downey to adopt Ordinance No. 3552, M.C.C. Section 38- 112.4 Personal Wireless Service Facilities to reflect changes in cellular technology. Councilmember Downey amended her motion to include the language in the “whereas” section that the intent of this ordinance is to protect views, noise and quality of life in the ordinance, and Mr. Smith seconded the motion. Mr. May suggested approving the ordinance as written, with the intent and direction to staff to bring it back with the added language in Section A.1, "Purpose.” Councilmember Downey amended her motion to adopt Ordinance 3552 as written, and direct staff to bring it back to Council at a future meeting with an amended Section A.1 to include the language regarding intent, and the seconder agreed.

CONTINUED PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Roberson reopened public comments on items not on the agenda. Chuck Cech voiced concerns regarding the route that CalAm has planned for their new pipeline, saying that it is going to disrupt residents and businesses, as well as disturbing and damaging existing sewer, water, and gas pipes. He proposed using the existing ASR pipeline, saying it would be faster and less expensive. Marlene Fischer agreed with the previous speaker. David Beech agreed that the proposed pipeline would be a huge disruption to the City of Monterey and outlined a suggested procedure to study and implement the reverse-ASR alternative. 6 City Council Minutes Tuesday, October 18, 2016 Sandra Collingwood, Monterey resident, asked the Council to look into the water pipeline issue. Michael Baer, Monterey resident, said that it is not too late to study the reverse-ASR proposal. George Riley supported Mr. Cech's proposal and gave some background on the water project, suggesting that Council write letters to ESA asking that the reverse pipeline proposal be considered, the Governance Committee asking them to reconsider their decision to conduct value engineering on the pipeline, and to the Mayors’ Water Authority asking if they will support a value engineering study. Jim Morgan thanked the Police Department for helping with the parking situation on Ramona, and he asked for parking enforcement two days per week. Dick Router supported Mr. Cech's proposal and comments. Bob Evans, New Monterey resident, said that CalAm's pipeline route is going to tear up New Monterey. He supported the reverse-ASR proposal. Larry Parrish, Carmel Valley resident, said that all of the rate payers will have to pay for the pipeline, and this project is all about money for CalAm. Dan Turner said that the CalAm pipeline is a boondoggle and is intended to make money for them. He asked Council to have an engineering study done. Susie Gaffie, Pacific Grove, supported Mr. Cech and expressed disappointment that he did not have longer to speak. Chris Cook, Engineer with CalAm water, clarified that his company has regular joint meetings with all utilities and cities and are potholing right now in order to make sure they have located all utilities. He said that part of the conditions of the permit requires that all agencies be notified and regularly updated, which will ease emergency access. He said that there is less friction loss in a 36 inch pipe and the existing pipe is not large enough. He said that CalAm is sensitive to tearing up streets multiple times and they are coordinating with cities on that aspect. He said that the proposed pipeline will be able to use an existing distribution system. Rich Smeland, CalAm Water Company, said that the current route was derived from discussions with public agencies. He said that the existing pipeline is 16-inches and not large enough for this project. June Stein spoke about the dangers of distracted driving and asked that laws be changed.
