PERSONNEL LABOR REL
VERONICA PEASE, City employee, was present and said to anyone's
knowledge, in the 100—year history of the City of National City, there has
never been the dissention that is now being felt by the City's loyal employees,
caused by Council's approving a non —retroactive contract for the MEA; morale
is at an all—time low; it is a shame that on such an auspicious occasion as
the City's Centennial celebration, the people who will be counted on the most
to make it happen are being treated so poorly by certain members of the
City Council; it is almost certain that the citizens of National City, many of
them com mon workers like ourselves, will not benefit by these actions from
those members who are not willing to support the retroactive issue; the voters
of this City, the people Council is sworn to represent, have been watching to
see how the common workers have been treated by the candidates now serving
on the City Council; their feelings will be reflected on November 4.
SURPLUS PROPERTY
The City Clerk opened sealed bids for two parcels of City —owned, surplus property
(The following two locations have been declared surplus properties by the City, and
offered for sale: 1. 25,350 sq. ft. at 18th St. & Roosevelt Ave., zoned Light
Manufacturing, APN 560-143-36, $26,000 deposit required; 2. 41,580 sq. ft. at
Plaza Blvd. & Euclid Ave. zoned Light Commercial —Planned Development Overlay,
APN 558-091-11, $11,000 deposit required.). Vice Mayor Cooper (Chairman, Real

BID RESULTS
Property at 18th St. & Roosevelt Ave.: The City Clerk announced there was
one bid:
Frederick W. West submitted a deposit of $26,000, with a written bid of
$43,000.
The City Clerk reported that last time this property went to bid,
Council rejected the bids and that Mr. West inquired, if Council rejects
his bid, would he have the opportunity to give a higher oral bid on
October 28.
TESTIMONY: FREDERICK WEST, 1706 Hoover (He has a diving
company on Hoover, and would like to expand the company; he is
interested in the property; the property does not have good
accessibility; he would probably pay more than $43,000, but he would
not pay $80-90,000 as Council has suggested the property is worth.)
Book 67/Page 172

the cost of improvements, covering the channel, the ditch, the fill that
must go on top, for a total of $240,325, and subtracts it from what
they have determined is a fair market value.)
ACTION: No action was taken.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — ALCOHOLIC BEV LICENSE
1. SUBJECT: Public Hearing — Appeal of Planning Commission denial of
Conditional Use Permit No. 1986-10 to allow additional hours for the sale of
alcoholic beverages and to permit live entertainment and dancing as an
incidental use to a restaurant at 105 East 8th Street. (Applicant: Michael
Dini and Michael Arellano).
RECOMMENDATION: Planning Director Post said the Planning
Commission recommends denial and staff concurs.
TESTIMONY: Michael Dini, 2026 Glasco, Cardiff by the Sea (McDini's
has been in business in National City for 40 years; they have done a
good job in working with the com munity; they have made application
before and were denied without prejudice because of the redevelopment;
they feel they can enhance the City.)
Michael Arellano, 536 Grenados, Solana Beach (They have been an
enhancement to the City; they have been patient and they believe that
determination is a virtue; they employ over 30 people on a full time
basis; they are asking to be allowed to extend their hours to 2:00 a.m.,
and to have live entertainment three nights a week; they feel, after
talking to Chief Hart, members of the community and their neighbors,
that they will waive their request for dancing, because it could impact
that area adversely; they feel that requesting a 2:00 a.m. closing time
is within reason; they have never had any problems with ABC or the
vice squad, and they have the approval of the Police Chief subject to
quarterly review; if there were ever any problems, the City could
revoke the CUP; they are willing to have a uniformed guard in the
parking lot on the nights they have entertainment, or whenever the
police deemed it necessary; they will increase the lighting in the
parking lot; they will make sure there is no trash disposal late at night;
he feels they have the right to have a trial on a conditional basis; live
entertainment would be Thursday, Friday and Saturday.)
Planning Director Post said staff met with the owners/operators of
McDini's, who agreed to conditions regarding the uniformed guard on
duty, increased exterior lighting, food service extended to midnight on
any night they have live entertainment and possible revocation of the
CUP if the Police Chief finds any difficulties with the operation.
ACTION: Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Cooper, the public
hearing be closed, and this request be approved with certain conditions
above and beyond what is asked for; he would like a condition requiring
food to be served until midnight when liquor is being served until
2:00 a.m., with the lights and guard (on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights) be conditions of approval. This motion was not voted on.
Councilman Waters said he would like to see this held over for 30 days.
Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Cooper, the motion be amended to
continue this for two weeks. Carried, by the following vote, to —wit:
Ayes: Cooper, Dalla, Van Deventer, Waters. Nays: None. Abstaining:
Morgan.

was not voted on.
TESTIMONY: Tom Doyle, Attorney for NCMEA, 3111 Camino Del Rio
North (NCMEA supports pay retroactive raises for employees; the
Government Code states that employees shall not be discriminated against
because they are exercising their rights under the Myers, Milias, Brown
Act; employees cannot be discriminated against because of their
membership or non —membership in an employee organization; by giving the
Book 67/Page 174
10/14/86
confidential employees a retroactive pay raise, Council is discriminating
against the MEA and their members, and those employees represented by
the MEA; the City's chief negotiator never offered retroactivity to the
MEA and never negotiated on that issue; to adopt this Resolution would
be a violation of Government Code.)
City Attorney Eiser said he thinks we are talking about two different
fact situations; the MEA was engaged in a meet and confer process; the
basis of the benefits to the MEA not being applied retroactively was the
fact that those benefits were to be applied perspectively, to take effect
after implementation according to the City's last, best offer; there was
no offer of retroactivity in the last, best offer of the City's
representatives; the executive, mid -management and confidential people
were not involved in the meet and confer process; he sees no
discrimination involved; employees cannot be penalized for utilizing the
bargaining process, but his evaluation of the situation is that did not take
place here.
Thomas W. Doyle (The City's last, best offer of 5% was not offered to
the MEA until August 15; at no time during the negotiating process did
the City offer retroactivity to the MEA; they argued that it was not
negotiable and they would not give us retroactivity; Mr. Schulman wanted,
included in the groundrules, that they would not offer retroactivity; we
would not agree to that; had the City offered the MEA retroactivity, and
the MEA turned it down any time after July 1, the City would have a
valid point, but those conditions were never offered; the City offered the
5.9% package for the first time on August 15; the problem is that a
retroactive pay raise was offered to other employees, but it was never,
at any time, offered to the MEA; in effect the MEA is only getting
about a 4.4% total compensation package, and the other employees are
being offered a 5.9% package.)
Richard Schulman, Asst. to the City Manager/Personnel (Repeatedly, after
the MEA did not want to agree that there would be no retroactivity as
one of the groundrules, he repeatedly stated in the meetings, "All right,
it is a negotiable issue. Don't count on it being automatic, but we're
willing to negotiate on the issue of retroactivity." Mr. Doyle's statement
is not correct that the MEA did not have the opportunity to obtain
retroactivity; in the impasse meeting, when he [ Mr. Schulman ] repeated
that, Mr. Doyle said, "We are not going to trade off other things we
want in order to get retroactivity." The offer was made many times to
the MEA that retroactivity was possible.
Mayor Morgan (Mr. Schulman may get to prove that in court.)
Dan McCadam, City Employee (I was a member of the negotiating team
and that [Mr. Schulman's statement] was an absolute falsehood; we were
never offered retroactivity from the start.)
ACTION: Moved by VanDeventer, the confidential employees receive the
same as the MEA retroactive to July 1, and the matter of the Executive
and mid -management employees be brought back in two weeks. Motion
died for lack of second. Moved by Cooper, seconded by Van Deventer, the
matter of Executive, mid -management and confidential employees be
brought back in two weeks. Carried by unanimous vote.
TESTIMONY: Gilbert Sarmiento, City employee (He respects Mr.
Schulman for job he is doing, but he would like to know why the
employees cannot get retroactivity; we negotiated for over 40 hours and
didn't get retroactivity, but the other employees get it just like that; it
doesn't seem fair to him. Mr. Sarmiento asked if there is any chance
that the MEA will get retroactivity this year.)
ORDINANCE FOR ADOPTION
Moved by VanDeventer, seconded by Waters, the Ordinance be presented by title only.
Carried by unanimous vote.
ZONING
10. Ordinance No. 1895, "An Ordinance rezoning certain parcels of real property

Planning Director Post said he sees no problem with that.
ACTION: Makers of the motion and second agreed.
TESTIMONY: Chris John Wenther, attorney for applicant (The rate of

Avenue.
ACTION: Moved by Morgan, seconded by VanDeventer, the engineer do a study
and see if we can keep the parking on the east side of Highland, between 7th &
8th. Moved by Cooper, seconded by VanDeventer, the motion be amended to
include a study on the south side of 8th St. on Highland Ave., and see if one
side is red -curbed. Carried by unanimous vote. City Engineer Stafford said the
Mayor's request, as he understood it, was to study the provision of a left -turn
pocket for southbound traffic, but left turn on Highland Ave. at 7th. Mayor
Morgan said going south from 7th, you could get in a slot at 7th and go down
and turn left at 8th St.; the left turn pocket at 8th St. doesn't go all the way
back; there is so much traffic between 7th & 8th that traffic blocks up; if the
turn pocket goes all the way back to 7th Ave., it might resolve the problem.

CITY COUNCIL
TRAFFIC SIGNALS
Councilman VanDeventer said effective January 1, 1987, there will be $5.5 million in
grants for energy efficient improvements in traffic signals, timing and operation, to
be used for 75% of the cost of technical assistance and equipment; the funds will be
distributed through CalTrans; he would like to get a head start on that. Public
Works Director Williams said in the past, these allocations have been for upgrading
signals that have the capability of inter -connection; our signals don't have that
capability yet; as the new CalTrans 170 Type signals and the econolite signals come
on line do we have the ability to coordinate between two sets of signals; we have to
upgrade the units with our own money, and they will help pay for the system that
ties everything together. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Morgan, we pursue
these funds. Carried by unanimous vote.
HIGHWAY/FREEWAY
Councilman Dalla reported on Rte. 252, saying after the last CTC meeting, there was
direction for CalTrans to get together with National City and San Diego to work out
some mitigation efforts for Rte. 252; CalTrans sent a representative to National City
and they met with the City Engineer and some representatives of San Diego to
discuss the particulars; after that meeting, he received a telephone call from the
Book 67/Page 178
10/14 /86
Deputy Director, CalTrans who said there is not going to be a freeway, there is not
going to be a road or a corridor, and San Diego was going to buy it; the Deputy
Director, CalTrans had two meetings with San Diego engineering staff, and they
worked out an agreement acceptable to San Diego, but National City was not
included; CalTrans has recommended an agreement whereby the $9 million San Diego
was going to spend on their streets was modified so that a larger amount was
available to mitigate problems in National City; they are recommending that San
Diego contribute $3.7 million to National City, toward the mitigation of traffic; that
would be paid in five—year increments over the next fifteen years. Moved by Morgan,
seconded by Waters, we authorize the City Attorney to file a lawsuit against
CalTrans and the City of San Diego; eliminating this freeway is very damaging to
National City, at least $20 million. City Attorney Eiser said he has some
information to share, but suggested it be done in closed session. Moved by Waters,
seconded by Van Deventer, in favor of a closed session, and the motion be tabled.
Carried by unanimous vote. City Attorney Eiser said the closed session would be
authorized under Government Code Section 54956.9(a).
Mayor Morgan called an Executive Session at 9:20 p.m.
Council reconvened at 9:35 p.m.
