Purchasing Agent Levens said they studied the different needs of the different departments, put together a list of requirements, researched various vendors, and surveyed other agencies in the County; based on their analysis, they came up with a system designed to meet the City's requirements and bring the departments up to speed, a system that would be able to meet the City's current and future needs; the current word processing system in the City Attorney's office will be removed; it does not meet the needs of 3/27/84 Book 64 Page 96 the City; it is difficult to operate and cumbersome. Discussion. DAN DAWSON, OIS, 9404 Genesee, La Jolla, was present and answered Council's questions. Discussion re equipment presently being used. Mr. Dawson said the proposed system would increase productivity at a low cost to the City; each station will be compatible with other stations; the system is expandable and can be upgraded. Purchasing Agent Levens said the proposed system is a multi purpose type of system and can be utilized to take the place of typewriters currently being used; a committee, consisting of 7 employees, agreed unanimously on this system. Councilman Van Deventer spoke of the optional character reader saying there is a need for this, and also a need to have someone to input the information into it. Discussion. City Attorney McLean said the proposal that was evaluated includes, as an option, the optical character reader, a method of inputing printed materials directly into a reusable form in the word processer; in his opinion, sooner or later, the City will want to buy an optical character reader; it is beyond the capability of existing staff to take the existing accumulation of data and get it entered. Purchasing Agent Levens said the price range for an optical character reader is $8,500-13,000. Further discussion. City Manager McCabe said the computer system that we have is excellent; we have had minimal problems with it; it is 70-E0%o loaded with our work force items; the word processing system is a minute part of that system; all the equipment presently in use will not be lost; it will be used in other departments that have that need; the only thing we will lose is one half of our software cost; we are halfway through our lease/purchase; he has arranged for the other portion to be returned; the proposed new system is the "State of the Art" for assisting the clerical and technical staff in performing their jobs. Further discussion. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Camacho, we move ahead with the purchase of this unit, award Bid 8384-5, and the cptional character reader be brought back next week with a price and the cost of an operator to bring our records current. Discussion. Carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Dalla, Van Deventer, Waters. Nays: Morgan.

The City Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing were on file. Planning Director Post said the Planning Commission recommends approval. ABEL VALENCIA, 2868 Grove St., was present and inquired if all of Lincoln Acres would be zoned or just these properties. Planning Director Post replied, just these 5 properties. Mr. Post continued, Thomas/O'Brien & Assoc. requested that the City initiate the proceedings; all of Lincoln Acres was pre -zoned in the General Plan. Mr. Valencia inquired why the residents didn't have a say in this matter; he did not request to be pre -zoned; this happened without his knowledge. Mr. Valencia inquired if the annexation of all of Lincoln Acres was in the General Plan. Mayor Morgan replied it was included in the Sphere of Influence. Discussion. Councilman Waters said possibly this should be held over to allow for negotiations, and asked Mr. Valencia if he was negotiating in good faith; is it possible he might sell? Mr. Valencia replied "maybe". Planning Director Post said if this is held over, it would have to be held over to the next General Plan Hearing, in the latter part of July. BUTCH FIMPLE, 2718 Grove St. (Lincoln Acres), was present and said he doesn't see how Council can pre -zone property in Lincoln Acres which is in the County, and inquired how it would benefit Lincoln Acres; the developer wants to tear down the hill and make it level; that would have a negative impact on the residents up on the hill; what are the plans for Grove St.?; will it be a cul-de-sac? Discussion. Planning Director Post said what Council is considering tonight has no effect on any street plans; all that is being considered is the zoning and the General Plan for the property. Further discussion. Mr. Fimple said he is trying to find out what is going on now and what the City plans on doing. Further discussion. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Waters, the Public Hearing be continued to the next General Plan Hearing when the property ownership will be more clearly defined. Discussion. ROBERT THOMAS (Thomas/O'Brien & Assoc.) was present and answered Council's questions. Mr. Thomas displayed a map of the proposed area, and indicated the properties he owns or has in escrow. Mr. Thomas continued, the Valencia property is zoned Limited Commercial and he is requesting it be changed to General Commercial to conform with the rest of the properties in the area; he would like to ask Council to initiate annexation proceedings. Planning Director Post said Thomas/O'Brien & Assoc. owns 8 properties in that area and have one in escrow. Discussion. ROSS PROVENCE (Legal Counsel for Thomas/O'Brien & Assoc.) was present and said the two owners of the majority of the five parcels are in favor of the pre -zoning; the LAFCO procedure will include additional properties not being discussed this evening; with regard to the five properties, it has become apparent that based on the assessed valuation criteria for approval it would not be possible to object and prevent an annexation from going forth once the pre -zoning is completed; Thomas/O'Brien and their affiliates will have a majority of the property; at that point in time, the annexation should be able to proceed for this section. Mr. Provence answered Council's questions re the possibility of closing Grove St. Further discussion. Planning Director Post said Limited Commercial is intended for convenience use (i.e. 7-Elevens etc.) whereas General Commercial allows a wider range of commercial uses, such as retail, offices, restaurants etc. Mr. Valencia said he would not object to that zone change. Further discussion. Motion and second withdrawn. Moved by Van Deventer, 3/27/84 Book 64 Page 98 seconded by Camacho, the General Plan Change and Zone Change be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. The PUBLIC HEARING on PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT and ZONE CHANGE FROM CH-PD (Heavy Commercial -Planned Development) to CG-PD (General Commercial -Planned Development), GP-1-84 and ZC-2-84, City initiated (For many years this property was zoned General Commercial along with the rest of South Bay Plaza; during the General Plan Update last year, the designation was changed to Heavy Commercial -Planned Development to accommodate a developer proposing an E.J. Christman style industrial park; the proposal failed to materialize and the property was sold; recently there have been inquiries regarding possible use of this land for both warehousing and retail; with the rebuilding of South Bay Plaza, the new FEDCO, and several proposed motels in the area, it now seems very probable that the site can be developed with a less intensive commercial use than allowed under the Heavy Commercial zone; staff concurs with the Planning Commission's approval) was held at this time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing were on file. Planning Director Post said the Planning Commission recommends approval. JOHN BROOKS, 1411 'L' Ave., was present and said 'L' Ave. comes up and is very narrow; the curb in front of his house is painted red and he cannot park in front of his house; with the street being so narrow, he is concerned that this zone change could create traffic problems. Mr. Brooks inquired what kind of stores could go in there with the new zoning. Planning Director Post replied this property is presently zoned Heavy Commercial; the change to General Commercial would not allow as many uses; it would not allow as many heavy trucks coming and going, and it would not allow ware- housing or manufacturing; General Commercial would allow a variety of retail uses, and would be in the best interests of the community. Mr. Brooks continued, his major concern is the traffic; there are no sidewalks on 'L' and people walk in the street. Discussion. No one else was present to speak in this regard. Moved by Waters, seconded by Camacho, the Public Hearing be closed, the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change be approved, and all stipulations of staff be adhered to. Discussion. Carried by unanimous vote. The PUBLIC HEARING on PROPOSED AMENDMENT to the GENERAL PLAN to UPDATE the HISTORICAL SITE INVENTORY by adding and deleting various properties, GP-2-84 (On November 22, 1983, Council adopted Ordinance No. 1806 which provides for an inventory of historic sites as a part of the General Plan; this Ordinance also states that Council will periodically update the historic site inventory; the City's General Plan has contained such an inventory since the 1983 update; recently the Planning Commission initiated a General Plan Amendment to consider including the Wellington Estate [3600 E. 8th St.] on the Historic Site Inventory and indicated a desire to review the entire list; Ordinance 1806 states that the National City Historical Society will be consulted concerning historic sites in the City; staff has coordinated with them in the current review process; sites were analyzed primarily from the standpoint of roof slope and style, length -width and location of windows, significant structural features, such as cornices, chimneys and bays, and overall structural features; the following properties have been recommended to be added to the current Historical Site Inventory: 538 'C' Ave. [Pinney House]; 305 'F' Ave. [Mitchell - Webster House]; 3600 E. 8th St. [Wellington Estate]; Harrison Ave. & 23rd St. [Santa Fe Depot]; 541 Shell Ave. [Josselyn House]; the following are recommended deletions: 520 'F' Ave.; 1904 'F' Ave.; 1605 'J' Ave.; 524 E. 7th St.; staff concurs with the Planning Commission's approval) was held at this time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing were on file. Planning Director Post said this is the third and final General Plan Hearing. ROSE LANE, 810 Mary Ct., was present and said her property abuts the Wellington Estate; two other owners of abutting property did 3/27/84 Book 64 Page 99 not receive notices of this hearing, and inquired how this would affect the abutting property owners. Planning Director Post said the main effect to abutting properties would be it might tend to reduce the chances of a development taking place on the historical property adjacent to them; the Wellington House is on protected status; the house itself is the historical site, not the house and the property. Discussion. Ms. Lane inquired if this would mean an increase in taxes for abutting properties, and was advised it did not. Ms. Lane inquired what protection would be provided for the neighborhood against unwarranted trespassers. Planning Director Post said it it becomes a problem, the City could take action. Discussion re the Santa Fe Depot. Councilman Van Deventer said the Depot has a lot of history and it has been turned into a commercial operation, and inquired if it is too late to control that. Planning Director Post said it is difficult to make this retroactive; however, if this amendment is approved, the City will be able to control it in the future. Further discussion. City Attorney McLean said there is no provision in the Ordinance that will prevent the destruction of historical buildings; it will retard the process and give Council an opportunity to take action; Council's option is to condemn the property and the City would be required to buy the property. Discussion. FRED PUHN, 425 Shell Ave., was present and said his house has been added to the list and he supports that; he urged Council, when they decide to develop the land adjacent to his house, not to allow condos or anything similar. Discussion re the tax benefits with regard to the historical sites. No one else was present to speak in this regard. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Waters, the Public Hearing be closed and the General Plan Amendment be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. The PUBLIC HEARING on PROPOSED RENEWAL of the COX CABLE FRANCHISE and the ADOPTION of an ASSOCIATED MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER regarding cable television (Over the past several months staff has been involved in extensive franchise renewal discussions with Cox Cable; the current License Agreement with Cox is due to expire on May 25, 1984; in addition, following much in-depth research and review, as well as consultation with Cox representatives and the City Attorney, a comprehensive municipal CATV ordinance has been developed; as a result of this process, two separate but directly related ordinances are scheduled for public hearing and introduction this evening; one would renew the Cox franchise, and one would establish general municipal CATV regulations which would apply to any cable franchise in the City both now and in the future `See Document No. 70181])was held at this time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication was on file. Asst. City Manager Bolint summarized the provisions of the Ordinances and said staff recommends approval and Cox Cable concurs. Mr. Bolint answered Council's questions re rates and franchise fees. Councilman Waters said he was the one who raised the issue of the Playboy Channel coming through to homes that did not subscribe, and according to the new lease, by 1985 this will be prevented. Discussion. Councilman Van Deventer asked if there are any areas of the City where cable has been requested, but is not available. DON CHANNEL (representing Cox Cable), 5159 Federal Blvd., San Diego, was present and said he is not aware of any areas of significance where cable is not available; Lincoln Acres also has cable. Discussion. CLINTON JONES (NCFD) was present and said the firefighters were told they could not get cable TV in the new fire station. Mr. Channel said the new franchise commits Cox Cable to wire any City building that does not presently have cable; cable will be provided in the fire station. OSCAR R. CANEDO, 1729 Cleveland, was present and thanked Mr. Bolint.and Mr. Channel for their cooperation and help in this matter; starting in September, 1983, he wrote to Cox Cable, Congressman Bates, Congressman Hunter, Senator Cranston, Senator Deddeh and the FCC trying to get cable in his area. BOB MC RANN (Vice President and General Manager, Cox Cable), 5159 Federal Blvd., San Diego, was present and said the new franchise 3/27/84 Book 64 Page 100 agreement will serve the needs of their customers, and the needs of the City; Cox Cable supports the City on both the Cable Ordinance and the Franchise Agreement, including the amendment section with one small exception; there has been a small oversight, and due to that over- sight, a change was not included in Section 9 of the Franchise Agreement, dealing with certification of their gross annual revenue; they have proposed that their statements will be sent to the City and will be signed by an officer of the corporation; this will replace the requirement for financial statements prepared by a Certified Public Accountant. Asst. City Manager Bolint said he agrees with that. Councilman Waters said Mr. McRann has been very helpful. Further discussion. Mr, McRann said to the best of his knowledge, there will be no rate increases in 1984. Further discussion. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Camacho, the Public Hearing be closed and staff recommendations be approved. Discussion. Carried by unanimous vote. The PUBLIC HEARING on PROPOSED AMENDMENT to TITLE 18 (ZONING) of the National City Municipal Code to REGULATE the ISSUANCE of LIQUOR LICENSES in National City, A-1-84 (On November 22, 1983, Council reviewed a report from the Police Chief regarding the number and type of liquor licenses in the City; this report compared the number of these licenses with the number in other cities in the County, and ranks the number of licenses within each City by 1,000 population and per square mile of land area [See Document No. 70182]; staff concurs with the Planning Commission's approval) was held at this time. The City Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication was on file. Planning Director Post said the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval. No one was present to speak in this regard. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Waters, the Public Hearing be closed and the proposed amendment be approved. Discussion. City Attorney McLean said we are doing as much as we can at the local level; the problem is that management of liquor licenses in this state is in the hands of a State Agency which may or may not understand the problems of the City; State Law provides that new liquor licenses are granted by changes in population on a Countywide basis; this Ordinance will be a valid way to control the proliferation of alcohol serving establishments; if we are able to get the support of State agencies, we will see some changes. Further discussion. City Attorney McLean said this Ordinance will not affect a person transfer in the same location. Further discussion. City Attorney McLean said the courts have said that local valid zoning regulations are the answer; if an individual has a license at one location and wants to move to another location, he will have to comply with the new regulations; the City has a community -wide redevelopment plan that speaks to the community's health and welfare; this is a reason for controlling alcoholic beverage licenses. Further discussion. Motion carried by unanimous vote.

Moved by Dalla, seconded by Camacho, the Public Hearing be closed and the proceedings and the assessment be confirmed. Vice Mayor Dalla said this improve- ment act was initiated by the people, and this is an example where there was a definite need for the sewer; a lot of people wanted this; there was also a lot of concern that some of the residents couldn't afford it; based on those things, the City modified its contribution to this project, and picked up the cost of the entire project with the exception of the individuals paying for their own hookups.

MAYOR Mayor Morgan inquired about 'N' Ave. extension to 8th St. at the shopping center. City Engineer Benzing said he would do a study on it. Mayor Morgan spoke of the need for an alley between Roosevelt and Hoover, and 15th and 16th, saying the businesses were built without an alley; now they are circulating a petition and pressuring the residents to sign for a 1911 Act alley; he is opposed to this. Discussion. Mayor Morgan said the streets in the City are deteriorating and we are going to have to put more money into maintaining the streets; last year Public Works did not get to spend all the money appropriated for street maintenance; he would like to discuss this at budget time. CITY COUNCIL Councilman Waters said the City Treasurer stated publicly that one of the Councilmen is supposed to have gone to her and tried to persuade her to move funds; her comments left a cloud over the whole Council; he thinks what really took place was the matter was discussed at a budget meeting; all the money was in one bank and that bank was paying low interest; Councilman Van Deventer mentioned another bank that was paying higher interest; she made it look as though something is really wrong; Councilman Waters suggested the City Manager talk with the City Treasurer and ask her to clarify her statement. Councilman Van Deventer reported re RTE 252; he met with the City of San Diego Traffic Chairman and they have asked him to meet with that committee in April to solve that question; he doesn't think they will agree, but it will be worthwhile to meet as two other questions may be answered such as: 1. the silt on 8th St.; and 2. the high traffic impact; also they can be told one more time that 252 is important. Mayor Morgan said he would like to see the County come back into Sandag with their 30 or 40 votes; each of the small cities does not have enough votes to make any difference, but if the City or County of San Diego could be persuaded to go along with us we might be able to prevail. The Mayor continued, the governor told him that if the City could get backing in its position on 252, it would be put back in the State budget. Councilman Van Deventer spoke of the problem of buses coming in from the Indian Reservations and picking up people to play Bingo at the reservations, people who might play at the Boys' or Girls' Clubs, and asked the City Attorney if the buses might be required to have permits. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Waters, the buses be required to pay a permit of some kind and the proceeds to go to the Boys' and Girls' Clubs. Discussion.
