PUBLIC ORAL COMMUNICATIONS ANIMAL CONTROL EDWARD CHURCH, 1846 8th St., was present and spoke of barking dogs next door to his residence; he called the animal control officer who came out, but he was advised by the animal control officer that he could not issue a citation because he did not hear the dogs barking; the owner of the dogs is a police officer who handles dogs, and one of the barking dogs is a trained attack dog who has bitten a child; he told the animal control officer to turn in his badge and go home and he would call a police officer to shut up the barking dogs; he was advised by the animal control officer that he had called for assistance because Mr. Church had threatened him; the animal control officer must be holding a grudge against him because he always has an excuse why he cannot write a citation against a barking dog; it seems to be a conflict of interest, as they will not write a citation against a barking police dog next door. Mayor Waters asked the City Manager to look into this and bring back a report on what took place. COMMUNITY PROMOTION — MAYTIME BAND REVIEW GEORGE WEBSTER, National City Chamber of Commerce, was present and invited Councilmembers to the Maytime Band Review golf tournament on Friday.

HOWARD KING, 2226 E. 5th St., was present and spoke of the convalescent home under construction at 5th & "B", saying there are twenty—six illegal closet rings on the toilets, which restrict the flow; the State has control over this, but the City should expect the State to follow the same Codes we are required to follow; he spoke to the inspector, and was told the offset closet rings have been legal for years; he contacted Senator Deddeh's office, and was contacted by someone who said "It isn't that bad." City Attorney Eiser said this is not within the City's authority to enforce; he recommends this be referred back to the State Inspector. Vice Mayor Cooper said he would like to see the City Manager or the City Attorney write a letter advising these people that we are not happy with this kind of building; he looked at this with Mr. King, and the closet rings are illegal according to the Code.
