PUBLIC ORAL COMMUNICATIONS None. PUBLIC HEARINGS The CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING on APPEAL of the Planning Commission's APPROVAL of CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to ALLOW the operation of a COMMERCIAL PRINTING AND PHOTOCOPYING BUSINESS at 710 E. Third St., Applicant: Herman Baca; CUP-1985-6 (Planning Commission approved this C UP subject to nine conditions; the applicant is appealing Condition 4 which requires the removal of an olive tree and replacement of curb and sidewalk in front of the residential rental which is part of the same parcel although not under the control of Aztec Printing) was held at this time. Planning Director Post said the most significant problem seems to be the condition of the tree removal; the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval subject to all conditions. CARLOS VASQUEZ, 1022 E. Eighth St., was present to represent Aztec Printing and said they can not be responsible for removing the tree and fixing the curb; they are not renting that portion of the property and do not have the right to do it; if they are forced to do those things, not only would it place an extreme hardship on them (they have five months remaining on their nine month sublease) but they cannot go on property under the control of another to do such work; Coldwell Banker is in the process of trying to sell the property and two prospective buyers have expressed an interest; the property is also in litigation. Discussion. Councilman Cooper noted that one of the conditions required them to construct an enclosure for trash containers and asked how we could impose this condition on this business when the City's trash containers are not within an enclosure. (HAROLD REYNOLDS, 835 First St., was present with regard to another matter and was advised he could speak after the public hearing was closed.) Moved by VanDeventer, seconded by Waters, the Public Hearing be closed, all conditions approved excluding the conditions on the tree and the curb, (the tree be referred to the Street Tree Committee for removal under our standard policy,) the tree be removed by the City and the applicant pay $15 for replacement and if the curb and gutter are on the survey list, the improvements be made by the City; otherwise, they will be made by the applicant.(Amended motion — see Council Communications.) Discussion. City Engineer Stafford said whether or not this particular location is on the survey list is a matter of luck; he could investigate the site and if it is similar to other cases with similar conditions, he could include it on the list; it might have been included anyway if we had noticed it. Vice Mayor VanDeventer said we could add to the list every day and still come up additional sites that need work. Further discussion. Motion carried by the following vote, to —wit: Ayes:, Dal la, Van Deventer, Waters. Nays: Cooper, Morgan. The PUBLIC HEARING on RESOLUTION OF INTENTION NO. 14,654, District No. 218, SWEETWATER ROAD DRAINAGE (Streets and Highways Code, Division 7, Part 3, Chapter 3, Section 5132 requires that Council hold a hearing where objections to proposed work or work and acquisition can be heard to show cause why said work or work and acquisition should not be carried out in accordance with the resolution of intention; these protests must be in writing) was held at this time. The City Clerk reported receipt of several letters in this regard. Moved by Waters, seconded by VanDeventer, the Clerk be authorized to identify these letters in the City Council minutes by reference. Carried by unanimous vote. Letters of protest and/or inquiry were received from: T. K. and Geraldine Gearhart, 3140 Sweetwater Road (Document No. 72482); Frank. R. Martinez, 1035 Paradise Drive (Document Book 66/Page 5 7/9/85 No. 72483); William C. Kerney, 5010 Abuela Drive, San Diego (Document No. 72484); Ralph Chavez, 3216 Sweetwater Road (Document No. 72485); Constant V. David, 4952 Field Street, San Diego (72486). ROBERT ONLEY, Engineering Staff Assistant, was present and displayed a map of the proposed Assessment District. Mr. Onley said there were four protests, representing 35.77% of the property involved. TED GEARHART, 3140 Sweetwater Rd., was present and said he is not opposed to the project, but is protesting his assessment of $61,000; he will be on a fixed income very shortly and will not be able to afford it; he can envision losing his property. Discussion. RALPH CHAVEZ, 3216 Sweetwater Rd., was present and said his property is one—half acre and his assessment is $31,000; he is 71 years old and is on Social Security; he receives $376 a month and his assessment would cost $150 a month plus interest; he has lived there very happily for over 30 years, but he cannot pay this assessment. Councilman Waters inquired if there is any way arrangements could be made to make the assessment against his property, and the lien would be picked up after his death. City Attorney Eiser said there are several methods of collecting the assessment; the lien is placed on the property and periodic payments must be made to satisfy the assessment; the proposal is to spread the payment out over nine years; the time can be extended; there is also a proposal that the City participate in this project, and there can be a greater participation by the City; the lien is enforced by the bondholder, and the bondholder would have the option of foreclosure proceedings if an assessment is not paid. Vice Mayor VanDeventer said there are some single—family homes in this district and inquired if there was a way to reassess the project. Mr. Eiser replied that the requirem ent is that the assessm ent be fair and equitable. Mr. Onley replied there is a place in the Code that says, in the Resolution of Intention, the City can pick up all the bonds; if the City Council passes a new Resolution of Intention and picks up all the bonds, the City could make deals with the people to the point where they can sell their property; in a 1911 Act, the majority rules; assessments are against the land, not the people. Further discussion. Mr. Onley continued, the major part of this assessment is not the drainage, but the cost of improving the street; they would have to pay this anyway in order to improve their properties; 84% of the property owners in the area signed the 1911 Act Petition to ask the City how much it would cost; now they are saying it is too much. WILLIAM KERNEY, 5010 Abuela, San Diego, was present and said at one time, nine of the ten owners were in agreement to go together and sell the land to a developer, and with this purpose in mind, Council gave them a Com mercial Zoning about two years ago; the property was to be developed as one land unit; the biggest problem is people were not prepared for such large assessments; there was no explanation as to where the figures came from; he would like to have all these things explained to the people so they can explore the various possibilities; he would like to have an informal meeting with the City Engineer and the City Attorney. Further discussion. Mayor Morgan said if these people can show Council where sales tax and business will pay for this, he would be willing to work on it. Further discussion. CONSTANT DAVID, 4952 Field St., San Diego, was present and said he owns the property at 3160 Sweetwater Rd.; he has talked to the owners of this property, and in principle, they are in favor, but some of the owners just cannot make the payments; the property was in escrow a year and a half ago, but did not go through; the assessm ents are much higher than they had anticipated; Mr. Onley has informed him that after a Resolution of Intention has been passed, arrangements can be made with those owners who cannot afford to make the payments until such time as the whole thing can be developed; this could result in revenue for the City which would more than pay the total cost within ten years. Further discussion. Moved by Waters, seconded by VanDeventer, this be continued to September 10, 1985, with a meeting of the property owners, the City Engineer and the City Manager prior to that time. Discussion. Motion carried by unanimous vote. Mayor Morgan called a recess at 7:54 p.m. Council reconvened at 7:58 p.m. ROLL CALL Council members present: Cooper, Dalla, VanDeventer, Waters, Morgan. Absent: None. PUBLIC HEARINGS(Cont'd) The GENERAL REVENUE SHARING BUDGET HEARING (Pursuant to current Revenue Sharing regulations, the City Council has the responsibility of conducting a public hearing to consider testimony prior to adopting a final budget; adoption of the final City Budget, which will include the General Revenue Sharing Budget for FY 85-86, is scheduled for the Council agenda of August 27, 1985) was held at this time. City Manager McCabe said he has notified individuals who are interested on this hearing; this will probably be the last year we receive Revenue Sharing Funds; he has allocated the full amount we expect to receive and budgeted it over the coming year; should we not receive the full amount, we would apply the amount we do receive to projects Council approves tonight. AL GOYCOCHEA, Principal, Sweetwater High School, was present and requested funding to assist in the Book 66/Page 6 7/9/85 reconstruction of the visitors' bleachers in the football stadiu m; these bleachers serve the entire community; the visitors' bleachers are coming down at the end of the next football season and the home bleachers will be coming down the following year; the School District does not pay for new bleachers; they will loan money, but it has to be repaid by the school. Vice Mayor VanDeventer inquired if $65,000 would help. Discussion. HELEN MATO (Founder and Executive Director, Metro Food Project) was present, saying she takes care of all of the government commodities for the First Supervisorial District; the MAAC Project, Park & Recreation, Morgan Towers etc. pick up commodities at her warehouse; she has no paid staff, and there is no cost to anyone for her service. Mayor Morgan said this is a worthwhile project and we should be able to come up with some money. Vice Mayor Van Deventer said he would support $5,000. Discussion. Moved by• Waters, seconded by Cooper, $65,000 for the Sweetwater High School bleachers and $5,000 for the M etro Food Project be considered in the City Manager's budget. Further discussion. Carried by unanimous vote. ARNOLD PETERSON, Executive Director, Community Development Commission, was present and said he applied for several General Revenue Sharing grants: $500,000 to be used at the Premium Auto Sales site for the purchase of the site, grading and removal of trash; $100,000 for street trees, Phase II; $25,000 for National City Nutrition Project; of those requests, the Nutrition Project is reflected in the budget; in order for the C DC to balance its budget, there is a need for $500,000; it could be in the form of General Revenue Sharing, City General Funds, or in the form of a loan by the City at a reasonable rate of interest, to be repaid by the Commission in five years. Discussion. Vice Mayor VanDeventer said with all the projects we have going, there is not $500,000 available in Revenue Sharing Funds; we should loan $500,000 at a rate of 7% interest for five years. Councilman Dalla inquired if the $500,000 could be taken from the $750,000 CDC expects to generate within 30 days. Mr. Peterson replied it could be done, but we would not then have the means to do the Colonial Ford assistance; the Commission is engaged in financing for $3,000,000 net and in that financing, all tax increment revenue and all interest derived off of tax increment revenue at the bank stays there for the repayment of the $3,000,000; this will take four years; therefore, he suggests that five years is a good term of payment of principal and interest, if they get the loan. Further discussion. RO XANNE RAPOZA, 911 E. Seventh St., was present representing the National City Swim Club. Mrs. Rapoza was advised that the Swim Club has been included in the budget. Moved by VanDeventer, seconded by Waters, the Public Hearing be closed and the preliminary Revenue Sharing Budget be adopted with the two amendments discussed earlier (Sweetwater High School and Metro Food Project). Discussion. Mayor Morgan noted that the amount budgeted for the Chamber of Commerce Graffiti Program is the sam e amount budgeted for last year and inquired if it would be sufficient. Vice Mayor VanDeventer said he asked Mr. Webster about this and he indicated there was no problem. Mayor Morgan noted that $150,000 was budgeted for purchase of street lights; he is opposed to this because the City cannot operate street lights as cheaply as they are operated now. Mayor Morgan inquired why money was being budgeted for computer equipment. City Manager McCabe replied it is for update of our current equipment; each year we add some piece of equipment to the system. Mayor Morgan inquired why money was being budgeted for word processing equipment. City Manager McCabe replied this is the third phase of our word processing system, to put the word processors in the departm ents that do not presently have one. Mayor Morgan noted that $120,000 was budgeted for sidewalks and curbs, and inquired if this was something the City was going to pay for, or if it was for the 50-50 sidewalk repair program. City Manager McCabe said this is the third year of our program where we survey the City and and replace sidewalks, curbs and gutters in certain areas. Further discussion. Mayor Morgan said he was not in favor of $200,000 for a police facility; this is the only time we'll have a chance to build a new City Hall; the Police Dept. has a good set—up and could use this building; the Las Palmas gym would be a problem if it is not run by the Boys' Club, or someone else who would take care of it; the City does not have the staff to manage it. Mayor Morgan inquired what the $485,000 allocation for street improvements was for. City Manager McCabe replied it is for surfacing of streets. Mayor Morgan said he will vote for this budget, but he has made a protest and he is not in favor of the projects he has spoken against. Further discussion. Motion carried by unanimous vote. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS CONSENT RESOLUTIONS (14,688 through 14,692) Mayor Morgan said he would like Resolutions Nos. 14,689, 14,690 and 14,691 to be considered separately.

Mr. Sheinfeld displayed a photograph indicating their plans for improving the area. Mr. Scheinfeld continued, Bay City Marine is a growing company that will bring revenue and jobs to the area, and the Port District is endorsing them. Discussion. City Attorney Eiser said this is a step by step process; the first step is to form the Industrial Development Authority; there has to be an entity existing before any further action can be taken, and there will be several steps to be taken; there will have to be a resolution adopted to appoint a board, rules and regulations adopted etc., and it eventually will culminate in adoption of a resolution authorizing the bond issuance and execution by the Chairman of the Authority to make issuance of the bonds possible; this is a vehicle to provide funds that can be provided to a lending institution and then Iolned to Mr. Scheinfeld's clients; it is not an obligation of the City or the Industrial Developm ent Authority; there is an allocation provided pursuant to State law on the dollar amount of bonds that can be issued by public entities; the dollar amount imposed on the City of National City is approximately $2.8 million; one of the steps that will have to be taken, if Council decides to pursue this, is to obtain a share of the allocation from another public entity, perhaps the County of San Diego.
