2 In September of 2020, Staff received a request from the Bayshore Village Homeowner’s Association (HOA) to extend the 2015 Council authorization to remove Gull nests from the roofs of the condominium units at Bayshore Village, and to expand the authorization to also allow the harassment and hazing of Gulls, and addling or Gull eggs. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 76-15 on December 8, 2015 eScribe Agenda Package
On August 17, 2015, staff received a request from the Bayshore Village Homeowners Association (HOA) to extend the 2010 Council authorization to remove Gull nests from the roofs of the condominium units at Bayshore Village. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 51-10 on October 11, 2010,
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 51-10 on October 11, 2010, finding the Gulls located within the Bayshore Village complex to be a public nuisance and thereby allowing removal of the Gull nests (Resolution 51-10 is provided in Attachment 2). 2619 On September 25, 2010, my office received a correspondence from Bayshore Village Homeowners Association requesting that the Gulls located within their complex be declared a public nuisance and that an exemption to allow for the removal of Gull nests from their roofs be granted by the City Council pursuant to Morro Bay Municipal Code Section 7.16. Microsoft Word - agn10-11-10.doc
I request that you continue this item requiring the HOA to present evidence that the gulls are still an issue. Their evidence to you should include a record of nest and egg removal over the 15 years. It's contrary for a Bird Sanctuary to continue such take after 15 years.
Sincerely,
Betty Winholtz

2 Several residents I talked to visited the site following your special meeting. Without speaking to each other, all came to the same conclusion: there is no emergency. If there is a potential for loss of access to the fishermen's storage buildings this winter, allow them to use the road inside the fence. Now there is time for a measured decision. The fishermen won't have to give you money for an unnecessary emergency, nor will the Coast Guard. The money earmarked for this emergency can go back into the General Fund which is where it was supposedly headed. The fishermen's buildings are behind a grove of trees and are not in "danger." The only "danger" is the loss of access which may not happen, if it does happen, there is an alternative parallel road. Allow PWAB and the Planning Commission to weigh in on long range planning.
Sincerely,
Betty Winholtz

Re: General Plan Update: Historic PreservaƟon
Dear Council:
One of the items in your update on the General Plan concerns the Historic PreservaƟon Ordinance. I once again urge you to assign a higher priority to this project than we have had in the past. The Morro Elementary School is only the latest and most prominent property that we want to preserve and/or to control its desƟny.
Your staff report points out that our City’s hands are Ɵed in some instances where there might be a general interest in preserving a property or some aspect of it, but there is no ordinance beyond the very general condiƟons outlined in CEQA by which to do this. Time is passing and change will happen with or without systemaƟc input from the City.
As stewards of the City’s form and funcƟon — and as stated in the adopted General Plan -- the Council has an obligaƟon to control the dispositon of historic properƟes. It is well past Ɵme to put this obligaƟon into a transparent legal statement (the Historical Society of Morro Bay submiƩed a first draŌ of an ordinance to Council in November 2021).
I assure you that the HSMB will support your efforts to bring the ordinance to compleƟon in line with the sƟpulaƟon in the General Plan. Given the constant and surely valid concerns of staff about the Ɵme and aƩenƟon needed for this project, we urge you to consider hiring a consultant to complete the job. We need this done.
Sincerely,
Glenn Silloway
President, Historical Society of Morro Bay
