PUBLIC ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 225
RICHARD PLUMLEIGH, 1213 Skylark, La Jolla, was present and inquired if there
was anything the City can do to accelerate the 1911 Act on the alley behind
Wilson St., between 18th and 21st Streets; last week when it rained, the water got
into their buildings; bids were opened on Monday, and the low bidder was
T. B. Penick; he feels this is an emergency situation. City Engineer Stafford said
bids were opened Monday, and he feels we have a viable bid. City Attorney Eiser
spoke of the ten—day waiting period which would allow the property owners to do
the work themselves in lieu of having the work done by a contractor; this is an
off —agenda item, and we are bound by the new provisions; one exception would be
an emergency, which is defined as a work stoppage or a crippling disaster; another
exception is that Council may determine by a 2/3 vote that the need to take
action arose subsequent to the agenda being posted. Councilman VanDeventer said
it didn't rain until Friday night.
ACTION: Moved by Cooper, seconded by VanDeventer, we go ahead and
award this contract to the low bidder, including the ten—day waiting period.
Vice Mayor Cooper withdrew his motion. Moved by Cooper, seconded by
VanDeventer, this is an emergency that arose after the agenda was posted

location to establish an automotive repair and auto body shop; he has found a
location at 232 W. 11 th St. which is approximately 3,000 sq. ft., but an Ordinance
adopted in August, 1986 requires a minimum lot area of 7,500 sq. ft. Councilman
VanDeventer said there are a lot of facilities available in different areas of the
City that could be rented for that use, and he would volunteer to help this
gentleman. Mr. Basenji continued, the zoning for this location is light
manufacturing and industrial. Mr. Basenji was advised to
contact Councilman VanDeventer for assistance. BEULAH MC HAFFEY, 234

property is her livlihood; this building has been rented for 26 years as a furniture
factory, and has just become vacant; she has an acceptable tenant, the space is
what he needs and can afford to pay for, and she feels the new ruling is unjust;
this building was originally used as an automotive repair facility about 30 years

RECOMMENDATION: None.
ACTION: Moved by Dalla, seconded by Pruitt, we prepare some sort of a
written letter to SANDAG, requesting that they review the possibility of
factoring in for the local share of the funds, something that would
address the density or the volume of traffic on local streets, including
com muter traffic, in addition to population and miles of local streets, and
identify specific streets ,i.e. Division St. & 8th St. (amended motion).
Carried by unanimous vote.
STREET — PARKING/TRAFFIC
Councilman VanDeventer said he would like staff to come back with a report on the
feasibility of closing 15th St., between "C" and "D", and leaving a cul—de—sac for the
people who live on "C" St. between 15th & 16th; the Boys and Girls Clubs are having
a problem with parking, and this would alleviate a lot of problems.
EXECUTIVE SESSION — CLAIMS/LITIGATION

pending litigation under Government Code Section 54956.9(A) to discuss American
