D.    GENERAL BUSINESS

  1. Discussion/Review of Shakespeare at Stinson: Mr. Dinges summarized the Manager's Report, including a list of the requests submitted by the applicant, and recommending approval of a modified waiver and denial of the fee reduction request. The Board discussed permit expiration dates, reviewed each request individually, and considered extending the permit to October, 2008. Mr. Trotter, leaseholder at 15 Calle del Mar, stated that he was requesting one additional toilet to bring the total to six, not seven, and further stated that compliance regarding "condition 16" of the County Permit was verified by an annual walk-through. Director Sapanai clarified that the County permit expires in 2006 but that the zoning administrator has the conditional option to extend the permit for two additional years to 2008. Ms. Sapanai further stated that a written statement was required from Johanna Patri clarifying that Shakespeare at Stinson was in full compliance and that all disputed issues had been resolved in order to continue further review. Mr. Dinges stated that he called the County but had not received a return phone call and that the District permit was contingent on a valid County permit. Director Dutkin suggested that the Board could exercise its right to revoke the District permit at any time if the County advised that SAS was out of compliance. Mr. Dinges suggested that the permit be extended to October, 2005. The Board further reviewed the applicant's requests. Motion to extend the permit, to approve the applicant's requests, to subject all requests to an annual review, to tie the District permit to the County permit, to make the District permit expiration date the same as the County Permit expiration date, to reduce the waiver fee by 50%, to reduce the temporary toilet permit fees by 50%, to notify the District at least seven days in advance of all community events, and to use portable toilets only for all extra performances and any uses other than regular performances made by Charles Dutkin, seconded by Director Veit. Motion failed due to lack of majority vote, Dutkin and Veit in favor, Tye, Sapanai, and Zell abstain. The item was continued to a future meeting.
  2. Continued Discussion of Budget Issues: Mr. Dinges summarized the Manager's Report stating that the previously proposed amendment to PERS retirement program to 2.7% at 55 would cost the District $101,000.00 the first year and $130,000.00 the second year. Mr. Dinges further stated that changes to the budget were on the expense side only and did not affect revenue. The Board discussed the previously approved budget which was contingent on the PERS calculations, and further discussed the proposed employee concessions, deletion of the wage freeze reference, the decision to continue with the current PERS benefit of 2% at 55, and the decision to continue co-pay reimbursement.
