CITY MANAGER
City Manager: I have no report.
CITY ATTORNEY
City Attorney: I just have one item that was brought to my attention late this
afternoon that uh some or all of the Council might, may have been invited to a
meeting uh, concerning a land use matter uh, project, a proposed project on
Paradise Drive between 9th and 10th, involving the uh Pacific Islander's partnership,
and I just wanted to raise the uh issue of, again the potential for a Brown Act
problem if there was any intention on the part of any of the uh, the Council to
attend that. There may be a Brown Act problem, and I would advise that uh, that
fewer than a quorum attend, uh namely two or fewer.
Councilman Cooper: How 'bout none?
Councilman Waters: Each time you mean.
Councilman Cooper: How 'bout none?
City Attorney: None is a viable alternative.
Councilman Waters: Right now you don't have to worry about it, it's been
cancelled.
Vice Mayor Van Deventer: Cancelled.
Mayor Morgan: Next order of business.
Councilman Waters: See. Did you know that Mr. City Attorney?
City Attorney: No.
Councilman Waters: It's been cancelled.
OTHER STAFF — No reports.
MAYOR
Mayor Morgan: I got four items. Uh, now when, when it was proposed that we
put a gym in Las Palmas Park, it was proposed that we would put it over just
south of the, of the ballfield. And now I don't know how it happened, but uh, now
it comes that it's uh right, or just east of the swimming pool. And you know, you
know, uh it you may think it's sour grapes, but I'll tell you, when they have a swim
meet, and those people go out there swimming, we're gonna have some real impact
whenever we build a gym right, uh just east of the swim ming pool. And it looked
to me like that uh, something like that uh, should have an Environmental Impact
Report. I don't know how we can build a building without an Environmental
Impact.
Mayor Morgan: And uh, these phones you know that we paid uh ;760,000 on, uh,
uh, Curt, or whoever put those in, I wish I could get my phone back like I had it
before, because uh, I'm thinking about running a string from uh, from my office
over to Millie's, and then put a bell on Millie's there. When, when I need
something, I'll just pull the little uh string where it'll ring a bell out there, because
these phones is something. You have to, you have to dial, they set this up where
you have to...l just dialed one number before, now you dial four numbers to get
Millie out there. Now they're working on to where they, where, where they make
Book 67/Page 45
5/6/86
one. I can push her button, but a lot of times I can't get her on that. And so I
go from the office out to Millie and tell her what I want, see. Or somebody on
the phone that uh, that uh I want her to get back in touch with.
Councilman Cooper: Why don't you have staff run you a buzzer in there? That'd
take care of that.
Mayor Morgan: We gonna, we gonna, we gonna work on this because I think this
all of this phone, uh system was really a backstep. I, I can't see why that uh we
took out the phones that we had and, and put it in.
Mayor Morgan: Now 250, uh 252, is uh, uh I made a proposal to Mr. Dalla and uh
other people uh that's come in to see me on this that we should uh, when we were
making this uh with the City of San Diego, it seems like that they, you should use
part of that. They'll have to have streets in there anyway where, where they're
used uh, 43rd Street ramps, and they, and the City of San Diego would have to run
a four or a six, rather six lane over, and when it gets down so far that it'll run
north and make that lane from there north to National Ave., a four or six lane.
And then, then have uh, have uh National Avenue go all the way down to the
ramps down at 28th St. So then the people could get from uh 252 down through
there, and then back uh north a little bit, and then on down National Avenue and
get to the other ramps, or down to 32nd Street, where they'll go to the shipyard,
or the Navy base, or North Island, and all of those businesses down there. It's
something that we're gonna have to think about, and uh, and uh, I'm assured that
uh
Councilman Cooper: (Several words unintelligible.)
Mayor Morgan: ...that CalTrans will be in touch with the Engineer...
Councilman Waters: Hey.
Mayor Morgan: ...and that's the reason I brought it up so that uh, uh he'd know
what I was thinking, and this, this thing I've thought about quite a lot. We can uh,
widen, uh National, uh Division Street, but gee that's uh, that's uh, that don't get
down to where you want, to the ramps and stuff like that. If they do that, and
they gonna have a redevelopment, they gonna sell bonds and everything like that.
If they do that, we would have part of what we want. I want you fellas to think
about that and see what you think of that, because it can be done, and I, I don't
want to mention here, but I've talked to the important people on it, and I haven't
had tim e to talk to Mr. Dalla yet, but I will to the important people, and it seems
like something that might work. And it, it would be good for us if we could get
that far.
Mayor Morgan: And then I got one other thing, uh, I've been, I've paying Millie
myself this 6%, and I don't know why that uh, that Manager or someone of the, of
the pay, or the Treasurer or somebody didn't get this, because it was moved by Mr.
Van Deventer and seconded by Morgan, this be approved. And what we approved
was a performance evaluation (several words unintelligible), and he has
recommended a salary increase. That's Mr. Jess Van Deventer, 6.2, effective
March 1, 1982, and that hasn't been done. I been making that check myself, Mr.
Manager, and it uh, I'd like for you to check that and look it over.
Councilman Cooper: What was the date on that, Mayor? '82? '85?
Vice Mayor VanDeventer: '86.
Councilman Waters: Should be about '85.
Mayor Morgan: 9/24/85.
Councilman Waters: There you go.
Councilman Cooper: '85, okay.
Councilman Waters: There you go.
City Manager: We'll sure look at that. As far as I know, she's been paid from
City coffers.
Mayor Morgan: I've been paying her myself.
City Manager: Well we'll sure report back to you.
Mayor Morgan: Next order of business.
Councilman Cooper: Maybe she's making more.
Councilman Dalla: Maybe she didn't tell you, Mayor. (Laughter)
CITY COUNCIL
Councilman Cooper: I have one item, a couple of items.
Mayor Morgan: Motion to adjourn is in order.
Councilman Cooper: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're not listening. Uh, I'd
like to speak to the Engineer for a moment on the uh, 35 Mile Per Hour speed
limits that this Council okayed over on uh South Bay Freeway. Uh, I would
suggest that we have the Police Department drive out there some time and, in a
Book 67/Page 46
5/6/86
plain car, and, and watch the traffic. I was going 35 miles an hour on the South
Bay Freeway going east this morning, and I almost got run over. Uh, these people
are coming off of uh 805, and that to them is a freeway. I said when we, when
we voted to put those signs up there, it was kinda ridiculous to put 'em up on a
freeway, 35 mile an hour signs on there. We do have 'em up there, and I would
like, I would like to make a motion at this time that we have the Police
Department uh patrol this a little bit more, and do something about slowing this
traffic down to 35 miles an hour, write some ti, citations, or remove the signs.
Vice Mayor Van Deventer: Hey, we can just direct staff for that.
Councilman Cooper: Okay.
Mayor Morgan: Mr. Manager, can you take care of that?
City Manager: I will do that.
Councilman Cooper: All right. One other thing, uh I have a little problem, we uh
allowed a development to go in there with condos and then some enormous family
lots for family, single—family homes up on the hill there uh, off of the South Bay
Freeway, and never made any arrangements for the developer, I don't believe we
did, put a signal in there at Valley. And I defy any of you to drive out there in
the morning about 7:00 or 6:00, and try to get on the South Bay Freeway going
west uh off of Valley. There's no way, and this is gonna really create a problem
when we get all those condos built in there and all those homes. Because that
traffic has to come out on, on Sweetwater, on South Bay Freeway to go either
way.
Mayor Morgan: I, I've talked to CalTrans, and CalTrans says they're planning to go
ahead with the freeway uh, 94, and make it a freeway all the way out there.
Councilman Cooper: Good.
Mayor Morgan: (Several words unintelligible.)
Councilman Cooper: Good, that'll take care of it then (two or three words
unintelligible).
City Manager: I think we've got a light planned at that area, do we not, Jerry?
City Engineer: Yes, we do. The uh...
Councilman Cooper: Okay.
City Engineer: Well what the, what the uh conditions of approval were that prior
to occupancy permit, or building permit, that they would work out an agreement
with the Engineering Department. Uh, I think there will be a period there where
they will be built out before we actually get the traffic signal in. But i think
we're going to get some County participation on that too. I've already written
them a letter.
Mayor Morgan: You might check with CalTrans to see how they're coming along
too.
City Engineer: All right.
Mayor Morgan: Jess?
Vice Mayor VanDeventer: Are you finished?
Councilman Cooper: Pm finished.
Vice Mayor Van Deventer: I have one item. Uh we received a letter from uh
Merced relating to the uh SB 2522, which removes the City's zoning power over
establishments where selling beer and wine. And I really think uh the City
Attorney should bring that back uh, of opposition to that Bill, because any time
that takes any control away from beer and wine, it's something this Council is
opposed. I know we've written letters.
City Manager: We had a report today. Dave got the phone call. I think they
withdrew it in the Senate.
Admin. Asst. Adams: Right. It was to heard...
Vice Mayor Van Deventer: Very good.
Admin. Asst. Adams: ...today, and there was so much opposition that they've
withdrawn it.
Vice Mayor Van Deventer: All right. (two or three words unintelligible). All right.
I just wanted to make sure.
Mayor Morgan: Anyone else?
Councilman Dalla: Yes, 1 just...
Councilman Waters: One question for the City Manager...Oh, Mike.
Councilman Dalla: Go ahead.
Councilman Waters: Go ahead, Mike, I'm in no hurry.
Councilman Dalla: I was, I was just gonna point out that if anyone would like to
view the former phone system that we had, it is on view, on display in the
Smithsonian Institute. (Laughter)
Mayor Morgan: George?
Book 67/Page 47

Councilman Waters: Mr. City Manager,
Mayor especially brought up the, uh the
down there. Did you instruct Jim Ruiz
City Manger: That's the memo that he

Councilman Waters: It's a $6,500 project, so it would have to be approved by this
Council.
City Manager: I believe he's going to include that in...
Councilman Waters: In his budget?
Vice Mayor Van Deventer: Yes.
City Manager: The budget.
Councilman Waters: That's good. Thank you.

ROLL CALL
Council members present: Cooper, Dalla, Van Deventer, Waters, Morgan. Absent:
None.
Mayor Morgan: Mr. Attorney?
City Attorney: Uh yes, Your Honor, uh this involves a situation where uh the City
at one point had hired the Stoorza Company to do public relations work for it, and
at one point there was a meeting uh regarding the proposed uh Route 252 between
representatives of the City and uh representatives of the Stoorza Company. And
there was a discussion of uh Route 52 and the City's position.
Councilman Cooper: 252?
Councilman Waters: 252.
City Attorney: 252, excuse me. Uh, there was a discussion of that uh subject
between uh members of the City staff and the City Council, and the Stoorza
Company. Uh, subsequent to uh that time, it was learned uh from the Stoorza
Company that they represented uh adversaries uh in the Route 252 issue, uh among
them, the uh Southeast Economic Development Corporation. Uh the City was
concerned uh upon learning of that there might be information uh, confidential type
information, that was uh received by the Stoorza Company during their meeting
with the City of National City representatives, and uh that that information might
be used by the City's adversaries in the Route 252 issue. Uh that uh
dissatisfaction was uh expressed to the Stoorza Company, and uh, they indicated
their intention to continue representation of the adverse interests. So uh, I was
directed to uh prepare a suit uh to restrain the Stoorza Company from their
further representation of the adversaries. Uh, I met in court uh with a
representative of the Stoorza Company and their attorney. Uh, the court, at that
tim e, declined to issue an order uh that would prevent uh Stoorza from
representing uh the adverse interest, but uh, at that time, it was agreed by the
attorney for the Stoorza Company that any information that had been obtained
from the City of National City in confidence uh would not be used uh by the
Stoorza Company.
