BOB SWENSON, 2675 Fletcher Parkway, La Mesa, was present on behalf of the Salvation Army on National City Blvd. Mr. Swenson said their physical property covers the entire lot; for the amount of trash they generate, they would need a dumpster; but they have no place to put a dumpster; they have their own trucks Book 65/Page 189 4/16/85 which call at least two times a day and they have been hauling their trash away; if they were to go to commercial trash service, they would have to retain trash within their store; they would like to go along with the trash service, but they would be creating a worse situation. Mr. Swenson asked what they should do. Discussion re how many other buildings in the City would present the same problem as the Salvation Army building.

The City Clerk's report on opening of sealed bids for 24TH STREET, CIVIC CENTER DRIVE, McKINLEY AVENUE SEWER REPLACEMENT; RECONSTRUCTION OF D AVENUE MANHOLES, SPEC. NO. 950 (Third time bids opened for this project; no bids received. However, Phil May of Erreca's Inc. wrote a letter indicating the City Engineer's estimate is $240,000 and his (Mr. May's) estimate to complete the work is in excess of $400,000) was presented and ordered filed by unanimous vote. MAYOR Mayor Morgan inquired about the schedule for STREET SWEEPING, saying some people who live at 4th and D told him they generally had their street swept on Tuesdays; but they did not think it had been swept. Director of Public Works Williams said if their regular day has been Tuesday, it has not been changed; when it is missed, there is a reason such as an employee calling in sick or the equipment breaking down; when a street is missed, there is no way of catching up and it will be the following week before it can be swept. Mayor Morgan reported Roosevelt Avenue from Seventh to Division is a mess, LITTER all over. Director of Public Works said they had been using "diversion kids" for clean up; he would have to get a Public Works crew out there. Mayor Morgan reported people living in the vicinity of 24th Street and Prospect want to ANNEX to the City because of the sewer. Moved by Morgan, seconded by VanDeventer, this be referred to staff. Carried by unanimous vote. CITY COUNCIL Vice Mayor Van Deventer announced BUDGET meetings are scheduled for the last week in May and first week in June; if anyone is planning a vacation, the City Manager should be advised. Councilman Waters inquired about the "ENTERPRISE" ZONING that came up last week; it appeared to him that it takes away quite a bit of authority over local zoning. City Attorney Eiser said enterprise zoning is allowed by the Government Code; it allows for concessions. Mr. Waters asked if this would handicap the Council and the Planning Department. Mr. Eiser said there are concessions with respect to land control and business licenses; there could be negotiations. Councilman Waters announced all the invitations were sent out to the members of boards, commissions and committees for the RECOGNITION DINNE R to be held at the San Diego Country Club on May 9. Councilman Dalla asked Director of Public Works Williams if there were two STREET SWEEPERS and two operators. Mr. Williams replied there were three and three; the problem is that they start work at 4:00 a.m.; if the operator knew the day before that he could not be in, there could be some provision made; at the moment he has one man on court leave and one on military leave. Councilman Dalla spoke of the 2800 block of 15th Street, saying it had never been properly improved; part of the problem is that the abutting land is owned by the School District and they cannot seek a 1911 Act improvement; the only way we could proceed would be to give the School District some relief and request they make appropriate budget changes. Moved by Dalla, seconded by VanDeventer, the matter of improving this block and possible City participation in the improvement be referred to staff. Carried by unanimous vote. Book 65/Page 191 4/16/85 ADJOURNMENT Moved by Waters, seconded by Cooper, the meeting be adjourned. Carried by unanimous vote.
