Site H, the Dembo property, south of Colonial Ford, bounded by National, 15th St., Kimball Park and 16th St.) These sites were examined from both engineering and negotiations standpoints; Site B was determined the most advantageous location for the proposed police facility. All Landowners within Site B were contacted and all but one have expressed an interest or willingness to negotiate for the City's acquisition of their property.

Mr. Saunders showed the existing facility design prepared by Delawie/Bretton/Wilkes, with several changes to reduce costs and maximize the advantages unique to the property. (Arnold Peterson, Executive Director, Community Development Commission, joined the meeting.) Mr. Saunders spoke of financing of the project: A Joint Powers Authority (the City and the Com munity Development Com mission), as owner of the facility, would contract with Starboard to develop and construct the facility and would provide Starboard with construction financing; the J PA would sell short—term notes to finance construction, etc. (For details see the "DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL FOR POLICE HEADQUARTERS FACILITY," submitted by Starboard Development Corporation, July 7, 1987, on file in the office of the City Clerk.)

ROLL CALL Council members present: Cooper, Dalla, Pruitt, VanDeventer, Waters. Absent: None. Administrative officials present: Bolint, Campbell, Eiser, Mc Cabe, Post, Stafford. SALUTE TO THE FLAG AND INVOCATION The meeting was opened with salute to the flag led by City Manager McCabe, followed with invocation by the Rev. Wayne Rowland, First Congregational Church. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Moved by Cooper, seconded by Pruitt, the minutes of the regular meeting of June 23, 1987 be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. Mayor Waters introduced Supervisor Brian Bilbray, saying Mr. Bilbray was honored for his outstanding achievement in the San Diego County Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Mayor Waters presented Mr. Bilbray with an award for being "Number One Goalbuster". MAYOR'S APPOINTMENTS LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES RECOMMENDATION: Mayor Waters recommended that Thomas D. Carnes be appointed to the Library Board of Trustees. ACTION: Moved by Pruitt, seconded by Waters, this be approved as presented. Motion failed by the following vote, to —wit: Ayes: Pruitt, Waters. Nays: Cooper, Dalla, Van Deventer. Mayor Waters asked the City Clerk to put this on the list of positions to be advertised. Councilman Dalla commented about appointments: we have had a lot of discussion the last few months about cooperation and working together, the idea is very worthwhile and we should continue to pursue it. This particular appointment continues to provide an opportunity to demonstrate, by our actions, the willingness to work together and to cooperate more than just talk about it. The Council unanimously recommended that the incumbent be re —appointed. The incumbent has served at the most one full term, he is presently the chairman of the board and enjoys very much what he is doing and desires to continue. He (Mr. Dalla) could not see why an incumbent who has only served one term would not be re —appointed in accord with the unanimous consent or desire of the City Council. The Mayor had an opportunity to demonstrate his willingness to work with the Council as Council has worked with him on some previous appointments where Council has not prevailed. This was a unique opportunity to show that he is aware of that and more than willing to reciprocate. Up to this moment in time it has not happened. He (Mr. Dalla) did not know what the reasons were, perhaps we can have some elaboration on the Mayor's reasoning for not appointing or re —appointing this person to the Board. He could only assume this is personal or political. He was hoping in fact that things are different and not like they used to be. Actions speak louder than words. To continue, to disregard the wishes of the Council and show no willingness to cooperate does not bear out that things are different. In fact, things are very much the same. You can advertise and you can have other applicants but we already have some very good applicants. There could be three votes to appoint someone else but this member of the Council will not take this action to vote to appoint anyone else and it is a justified appointment and unless there is some reason he was not aware of he thinks that person should continue to work as well as he already has with the Library Board, the Library staff and members of the community.
