Discussion. Mr. Grier continued, he loves this City and would like to see it look great; the car is in the back and off the street; the tires are off because of vandalism; his son is going to repair the car as soon as he gets his income tax refund; could Council give his son 30 days?; if his son does not have the money by then, he will finance it himself.

City Engineer Stafford said he now has a firm price from the contractor based on a minimum of twelve gates; we have ten responses saying they want the gates if they can have them; the price for twelve gates amounts to $1,418.46 each; that does not include some work that may be necessary on the east side to create a stairwell around the gates. Mayor Morgan inquired if the people are aware that they might have to pay for the gates. Mr. Stafford replied he was going under the assumption that a change order would be issued; he structured his memo to the people by saying we would be seeking FAU funding; however, we are not going to get the funding so either the property owners or the City will have to pay for the gates. Moved by Morgan, seconded by VanDeventer, staff write to the people who want the gates Book 66/Page 231 3/11/86 and advise them of the cost and determine if they are willing to pay for the gates. Vice Mayor Van Deventer inquired what the reduction would be from the contractor, since he will be using fewer blocks. Mr. Stafford replied it would be $3,307, but that has been taken into consideration on the price of the gates. Discussion re the City participating 50-50 in the cost of the gates.

DAVID WIGNALL was present and said he isn't sure this business meets the requirements of public necessity and convenience; this business is located next to an arcade and there are a lot of children around; this license allows off —sale of beer and wine and that is a temptation for children. Discussion. Planning Director Post said a Type 41 license permits off —sale of alcoholic beverages; it is possible to put a special condition on the CUP to restrict that, but it would require a public hearing; Council could consider directing staff to pursue that as a standard condition. Further discussion. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Waters, this be set for public hearing. Carried by the following vote, to —wit: Ayes: Dalla, Van Deventer, Waters. Nays: None. Abstaining: Morgan. Absent: Cooper.

WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS A letter from CENTRAL SCHOOL requesting a DONATION to help defray the costs of SIXTH GRADE CAMP, and A letter from NATIONAL CITY GIRLS' SOFTBALL LEAGUE requesting a DONATION to aid in securing necessary equipment were presented. Moved by Waters, we donate $250 to each group. City Manager McCabe said there is only $50 remaining in the fund set up by Council for donations; he would like direction that upon receiving these requests until the end of the fiscal year, he be authorized to respond, indicating that the money has been expended and they should Book 66/Page 232 3/11 /86 come back after July I. Moved by Waters, seconded by Van Deventer, we authorize donations of $250 to each of these groups, but no additional funds be granted until budget time. Councilman Dalla said it seems to him the request from the Softball League is not urgent and could be deferred to the next budget; perhaps we should give $50 to Central School and then we would be living within the budget. Mayor Morgan said we should fund both of these because these organizations were not aware that sufficient funds were not available. Discussion. JAMES GRIER, Central School, was present and said Central School will be the last school in the district to go to school camp this year and they do need the money. Further discussion. Motion carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Cooper.

Book 66/Page 233 3/1 1 /86 Planning Commission Resolution No. 6-86 APPROVING an APPLICATION for CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to ALLOW the SALE OF BEER AND WINE (Type 41 liquor license) as an accessory use in conjunction with a restaurant at 1647 Plaza Blvd. See Page 231, Para. 5. The Community Development Commission's request that the CA ZONE and PERHAPS the CH ZONE be INCLUDED in the 50/50 ALLEY PROGRAM (In the 1985-86 budget, Council adopted a policy for 50/50 cost sharing for alley construction and restricted the policy and program to the ML and CG zones; Council may wish to include the CA zone in the program since it abuts other CA and CH zones and is near ML uses; Council may also wish to include CH in the program; if Council does this, the CDC would have an incentive to offer other owners whose property abuts the alley between 25th and 26th Streets for their participation; if some or all of the owners refuse after being offered 50% of the cost, Council could force the alley improvement through an assessment district; the buyer of the La Siesta Mote) site would have agreed to pay for buyer's share of the alley and to not protest an assessment district as a condition of sale; if the La Siesta Motel site were leased, the lessee or the C DC would pay its share of the alley improvement; staff recommends approval) was presented. Moved by Dalla, seconded by Van Deventer, this be referred to whoever is handling this for the City and get a City recommendation. Councilman Waters said he doesn't think we should use our 50/50 program for the businesses; we should try and stay in the residential areas. Vice Mayor VanDeventer said this is a 50/50 program where we have both commercial and residential back to back; it's a different fund. Discussion. ARNOLD PETERSON, Executive Director, Community Development Commission, was present and said he is asking, on behalf of the CDC, that the City modify its policy so they could be instrumental in getting the alley between 25th & 26th Streets, one—half block east of National City Blvd., paved. Vice Mayor VanDeventer said, "But we have residences that back up to that." Mr. Peterson said, "Yes, it's residential on the back, on the east, there's one commercial, and there's two fourplexes, and then there are several houses." Vice Mayor Van Deventer said, "But the thing is, Mr. Peterson, I want to address staff in a minute further on it, the idea behind this was is that all those commercial people right there, those two commercial, even though we're one of them, they can afford to put that alley in —their half. It's those residential people feel they don't get enough use out of it to warrant paying 100%. And our program of paying 50/50 will solve that problem if it's to give them the full 50% to the residents and in certain cases, I think that's the way we're going. I do know that funds are allocated for this year, and check me if I'm wrong Jerry, you have, right in the process, have a bunch of sets of plans that were denied under 1911 Acts and where you were re —proposing to use a good percent of these funds. Am I correct?" City Attorney Stafford replied, "Yes sir." Vice Mayor VanDeventer continued, "So the funds for this year are not there, but I have no problem with it on July 1." Mayor Morgan said, "I'll make a motion we approve this." Councilman Dalla said, "We have a motion on the floor already to refer it to staff for a report first." Councilman Waters said, "Yes, and while the staff is looking at this here, I would like to have in that report whether we're just doing it for the residential areas or whether the businessmen that are involved are getting 50/50 help. And if they're getting 50/50 help, that is directly against our policy. That's why he's —if you read your program or what he's giving us in its entirety, he's asking for a deviation from our policy, and it's for that reason... Councilman Dalla said, "I was going to say that the policy right now is limited to the Light Manufacturing Zone and the General Commercial Zone, unless we've changed since we originally adopted it, and I have some concern about changing the City's program simply to accommodate one specific alley. That concerns me first of all. I don't know that we could have a 50/50 program and only accord the 50% benefit to a resident and exclude a businessman, if in fact they're both property owners. Legally I'm not sure if we can say we're going to give it to the residential property owner and not the business person. And the third thing is along the lines of what Mr. Waters is saying —if we're going to modify this program to go in areas other than Light Manufacturing and General Commercial, I think one of the areas that we should go in is the residential areas where people don't have alleys, and we haven't afforded this program to them yet either, and they may be interested in places where they don't have an alley and they haven't been able to get one in to pay 50% if the City would pay 50%, but we haven't offered it to them either. And I think when we go to expand something like this, we should not exclude residential areas as well. Mayor Morgan said, "Mr. Manager, take this into consideration, if this is land Book 66/Page 234 3/1 1 /86 that we own, we have full control of it, we can make the businessman put in his 50 and get 50% across the way where the people live, and we'll get a full alley there for the people across the street. But I think we have full control over the business person, because we can give him —he has to come in for a building permit, he has to come in and live up to everything, our rules and regulations say when he builds, he's going to have to put in the curb there. So we have full charge over him where we can put in 50/50 and the residents will be benefit." Vice Mayor Van Deventer asked, "Mr. Eiser, would you have that checked out at the same time? so that's part of that report —you know, because the legality of it, the two property owners, we want to make sure that we're not discriminating." City Attorney Eiser said, "I can do that. two weeks." Vice Mayor Van Deventer replied, "All right, two weeks.". Carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Cooper. The Asst. Planner's report on the SALE of NON —AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS in SERVICE STATIONS (On February 11, 1986, Council considered a report from the Planning Director regarding the sale of non —automotive products in service stations; at that tim e, they directed that the report be brought back in 30 days with some additional information; staff has contacted other cities in the County to ascertain how they regulate mini —markets in service stations; see Document No. 73474; staff recommends that Council initiate an amendment to the Municipal Code to permit the sale of some non —automotive products in service stations and refer the matter to the Planning Commission for necessary action) was presented. Mayor Morgan said every time we get into a discussion on this, we get into mini —markets; he is not talking about mini —markets; service stations should be able to sell cigarettes, soft drinks, gum and other things trhat relate to travelers. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Van Deventer, in favor of staff's recom mendation. Carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Cooper. The recom mendations of the TRAFFIC SAFETY COM MITTEE from their meeting of February 12, 1986 were presented. Mayor Morgan spoke of the request to re —install the removed 30—minute parking signs at 18th & Wilson (Item 1, Old Business). City Engineer Stafford said the Traffic Safety Committee offered these people two—hour parking, but they want 30—minute parking. Discussion. Moved by Morgan, we authorize 30—minute parking signs for these people. Motion died for lack of second. Moved by VanDeventer, seconded by Waters, in favor of two—hour parking. Discussion. Carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Cooper. Councilman Waters said it is time we started slowing down on removing signs and then putting them back. Mayor Morgan said he would abstain on Items 8 & 11. Councilman Waters said he would like to hold Item 8 over to next week and have staff bring back a report on how many times the parking has been changed. Moved by VanDeventer, seconded by Dalla, the remainder of the report be approved except Item 8, which will be held over one week. All items except Items 8 & 11 carried by unanimous vote.

MAYOR Mayor Morgan said we authorized a 1911 Act between Wilson & 22nd, saying we are going to pay 50% of that, and inquired if those people are willing to put up the money.

Book 66/Page 235 3/1 1 /86 CITY COUNCIL Councilman Waters said a couple of weeks ago, he reported on visiting the tidelands area with Don Nay and the City's Port Commissioner; he was pleased to report that he re —visited the area today and the trees had been trim med.
