QUINTON HOLLAND, 71 Center St., Chula Vista, was present and said he is not in favor of this street closing; the only way to get out of there is 'A' Ave. to 24th St. to the light.

Acting City Engineer Onley said these are the minutes of the Traffic Safety Committee meeting of May 9; such minutes are normally presented to the Council as soon after the meeting as possible and are usually filed; action on anything within the document is brought up at some later meeting prior to the next meeting 5/22/84 Book 64 Page 156 of the Traffic Safety Committee. Councilman Van Deventer said he would like to have some of the issues in these minutes addressed tonight; he would like Council to make some recommendations; with regard to permit parking ('A' Ave. between 19th and 22nd), permit parking is a big issue with these people, and Council should address this issue so that staff can come back with a clear understanding of what Council would like to see done; instead of bringing this back in 60 days for a public hearing, it should be brought back in 30 days; the parking permit calls for a cost involvement in the initial investment; he would like to see the cost dropped the first time, and for any transfers there would be a fee. Discussion. Moved by Waters, seconded by Van Deventer, this item be laid over to June 19. Councilman Van Deventer continued, instead of the permit being issued for one year, he would like to see it changed to 2 or 3 years; there is no designated procedure for a petition to be signed by 50% of the people; the City Manager ordered a study and staff has 90 days to complete this; this could be solved by June 19; the report refers to the problem with speeding; he would like to see some form of speed bumps relating to 'A' Ave. and 22nd, and displayed a sketch of a possible sign.

The CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING on a MINOR AMENDMENT to the REDEVELOPMENT PLAN for the NATIONAL CITY DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, Valenci a property (The purpose of this continued public hearing is to further consider a minor amendment to the Redevelopment Plan by adding to the land to be acquired pursuant to the Plan, the real property located at 2868 Grove St., a single-family residence on 8,102 sq. ft. of land, Assessor's Parcel No. 563-161-46, located within the existing Redevelopment Project boundary; staff recommends that Council and Community Development Commission consider further testimony; an Ordinance which would approve subject amendment appears separately in this agenda) was held at this time. ROSS PROVENCE (Attorney for Thomas/O'Brien & Assoc.) was present and said they have made an effort to negotiate with the Valencia family; they submitted to the Valencias a number of properties, but were unable to reach any kind of a settlement with them; the last meeting was this morning at 10:30 a.m.; when his clients parted company with Mr. Valencia, Mr. Valencia was willing to accept $350,000, and negotiations ended at that point. Mr. Provence continued, they offered the Valencias $180,000 cash, less the existing encumbrances of $78,000, with a net cash offer of $102,000 for the two parcels; Mr. Valencia would be able to remove any and all structures if he desires; they offered in writing 8 or 9 specific properties, but Mr. Valencia did not respond affirmatively. Discussion. Mr. Provence continued, a certified letter was sent to Mr. Valencia on May 8 and was received on May 10; he did not hear from the Valencias until May 18 and the response was negative; he (Valencia) indicated he would accept an equal size piece of commercial property in Bonita or La Jolla. ABEL VALENCIA, 2868 Grove St., was present and said throughout the meetings, eminent domain was the main topic; Council has 5/22/84 Book 64 Page 157 said they would not use eminent domain; Mr. Provence told him he could probably get National City to pay the relocation costs for the parcel in the County, and inquired if Council was aware of that. Mr. Valencia dl,fined eminent domain and said eminent domain should not be used in this case. Mr. Valencia cited articles in the newspaper with regard to this matter; on February 6, there were some so-called illegal contributions made to a Council candidate; the District Attorney is ?;;oking into this matter; judgment should await the outcome of this _nvestigation. Vice Mayor Waters said the individual who took those :iDnations was not elected. Mr. Valencia continued, some of the facts brought up by Mr. Provence were irrelevant; he has been bombarded by houses to consider, some of which are in the redevelopment area; he h� a person looking for homes for him, but the gentleman has not come up with one that fits his needs. Mr. Valencia continued, one of his parcels is in Lincoln Acres and inquired if Council planned to use eminent domain there; he cannot make a judgment on a house in 2-3 weeks. In response to the question "How many of the homes offered were in the redevelopment area?" Mr. Valencia replied one. Discussion re the appraisals of the property and relocation fees. Arnold Peterson, Executive Director, Community Development Commission said if CDC were buying this property, they would pay $160,000; the maximum relocation payment for a tenant family is $4,000. Mr. Valencia said out of the $164,000, there is a debt owed of $78,000; that would only leave him approximately $90,000 to work with. Mr. Valencia displayed charts outlining his financial impact if his property is acquired; his •roperty is no longer residential, but was pre -zoned commercial; the _:zoperty is being undervalued for commercial property; he does not want to sell. Discussion. Mr. Peterson said the lower of the two appraisals was based on residential valuation; the higher of the two made an allowance for "holding for commercial". City Attorney McLean said we had a recent appraisal and the highest sale transaction for commercial property with a locational advantage was $12 a foot. Further discussion. Mr. Peterson said he recommends Council add this parcel to those parcels to be acquired pursuant to the Downtown Redevelopment Plan. Councilman Van Deventer said if CDC spends $164,000 or $180,000 to acquire this property, the direction of Council at the last meeting was that this property would not be sold and the taxpayers would not subsidize this program one bit. Mr. Peterson said there is an additional tenant in one of the units, so they would add an additional $4,000 for relocation fees. Vice Mayor Waters said if they cannot come to terms with Mr. Valencia, he should be given $180,000 for the property and the $4,000 for relocation, the developers to pay all the costs. Moved by Waters, seconded by Van Deventer, the Public Hearing be closed, the minor amendment to the Redevelopment Plan be approved, the developers to pay the Valencias $180,000, plus $4,000 relocation fees and the developer agree in writing to pay this and all related costs or the deal is off. Mr. Valencia returned to the podium and said Thomas/O'Brien owns a vacant piece of land; they do not have a potential customer for this land to date; if his land is condemned and levelled off, when will they ever have anybody moving in?; the revenue they said they would create will not be created. Discussion. Mr. Valencia inquired, "Uhat about the 8 months he has paid rent and has not been able to enjoy his home." Motion carried by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Cooper, Van Deventer, Waters, Morgan. Nays: Della. Councilman Della said he voted against this because he made a written commitment regarding the taking of property and there was no way he could, in his own mind, come to come conclusion where it was OK to do that. Chairman Morgan recessed the Redevelopment Commission at 8:23 p.m. CIELO VALENCIA was present and said Council has approved $180,000 plus $4,000 relocation fees; that is what they started offering her in the beginning and she has to pay the property she is living in; she owes 5/22/84 Book 64 Page 158 $78,000 on the property so she will only have $102,000 left over; she has spent $20,000 of her money, so actually her profit is $80,000; they b-ought up the lawsuit over her husband's death; if anyone here were tbe same position, they would have done the same thing; it had no taring on this issue; she had to pay lawyers, hospital bills and funeral expenses. Mayor Morgan said this is not the final thing; Mrs, `'-J.encia can go to court and if the judge sets a higher price, that's price the City will have to pay.

SHIPYARD, National City, California (National City is listed in the Federal Register as potentially eligible for the UDAG Program; approval by HUD of an affirmative action program for increased minority employment is a remaining requirement; RMI, Inc.

ARNOLD PETERSON, Executive Director, Community Development Commission, was present and said the program is oriented toward economic development and jobs, capital investment, payroll, community benefits, sales taxes, property `axes, and utilizing its resources; National City is listed on the :: deral register as potentially eligible; the secretary of HUD will determine if we will be made eligible; the President and Vice President of the U.S. are interested in the SW Border Action Group; we are the only City in San Diego County eligible for the action grant and HUD has allowed that an action grant application from Chula Vista could be entertained by the City of National City; a number of industries are interested in an action grant in National City; these industries need favorable funding in order to start up their operations; federal money comes to the City and the City in turn makes a loan to private enterprise; the loan is structured by HUD with the private enterprise and when the money is paid back on the loan, the interest and/or principal, the money becomes a grant to the community. GENERAL ROBERT CARDENAS was present and said he was appointed by Vice President Bush to act as California State Coordinator for President Reagan's Southwest Border Action Group; the action group has one member from every secretariat and agency in the federal government; it was up to him, in the State of California, along the border on the American side, to create projects that would essentially reduce unemployment, diversify the economy and bring in private enterprise; the City is in an enviable position; the project will take care of the three tasks he was given; it will employ people, it will diversify the economy, and it brings in private enterprise. General Cardenas answered Council's questions, saying when the City gets money from RMI, it can be used at the City's discretion. Discussion re minority employment, and uses for the grant funds. DARRELL REED (RMI), 24th St., N.C., was present and said they recently acquired the shipyard at the foot of 24th; RMI is an advanced marine shipbuilding company; the project is to build 4 high-speed ship commuters; they have talked about the federal participation in this project, including the request for a $2 million UDAG grant and a $6 million EDA grant; private industry will put $72 million into this project; they intend to employ 350 people who will be specially trained in advanced marine construction; National City could become the center of advanced marine construction in the world; they expect a number of Navy and commercial construction projects on the heels of this project; perhaps in the 1986-87 time period, they could be employing as many as 1,200 employees at the National City shipyard. Mr. Reed distributed literature to Council members describing the RMI programs. Vice Mayor Waters inquired if there was a requirement to hire National City people. 5/22/84 Book 64 Page 159 Mr. Reed replied they ran a job fair over the past two months, and in t e course of 3 days, interviewed about 600 unemployed people; the :ority of those people were from National City; there were also soma_ f.m neighboring communities; probably slightly less than 50% of the o::?.icants were from National City. Discussion. Mr. Reed continued, '.> 'jelieves most of the people employed will come from National City, he cannot make a commitment; he would suggest that Council appci,-1 .:_%oone to work with RMI to be sure that the qualified people of ...cional City apply.

GENERAL ROBERT CARDENAS was present and said he received dispensation for the Southwest Border Action Group to have a city that is UDAG qualified file for another city if that city is not more than 10 miles away; the principals of VADA desire to establish their company in Chula Vista; National City can file a UDAG for Chula Vista, and would benefit from receipt of the interest payment and payment of the principal which remains in National City; in a shared project like this, the majority of the employees would come from National City; this will require cooperation and coordination between the two cities.

The PUBLIC HEARING on the ORDINANCg TO REGULATE SMOKING was held at this time. RICHARD FUSS, 2307 E. 5th St., was present and said he is the Personnel Director of Paradise Valley Hospital; he was asked to chair a committee of "Californians for Non -Smokers Rights" and he is present to encourage Council to adopt this Ordinance; Paradise Valley Hospital has adopted a policy of no smoking except in designated areas and the policy is running smoothly. HOWARD MITCHELL (President, Californians for Non -Smokers Rights) was present and said the Ordinance is well written and is consistent with Ordinances passed in other cities and the County; he encouraged the adoption of this Ordinance. Discussion. Councilman Cooper expressed concern about this Ordinance; enforcement is being left up to the business people. Mr. Mitchell said the retail stores are in favor of this Ordinance; it's the logical way to do it. Councilman Cooper said the section referring to restaurants 5/22/84 Book 64 Page 160 should go from a seating capacity of 20 to 40; there are a lot of small restaurants in the City; the Ordinance as written could work a hard- ship on small businesses. Councilman Van Deventer agreed. Further discussion. Vice Mayor Waters said there are departments in the Civic Center where everybody smokes and we need to allow for that. JANET FUSS, 2307 E. 5th St., was present and gave a presentation on the medical aspects of smoking. DON MC NEIL, Chief, South Bay District Attorney's Office, was present and said he would be clad to respond to any questions Council might have. Councilman Dalla said we keep referring to this as a voluntary program, but the Ordinance obligates owners, operators, employees, etc. to enforce it; the fine of $10-$100 makes it something less than voluntary. Mr. McNeil said any law that is penal in nature has to have a punishment provision; in the cities and the County where the Ordinance has been enacted, the rate of voluntary compliance has been such that enforcement is not a problem; an employer would have to post signs and create separate areas for smokers and non-smokers. Discussion re fines and designated smoking areas. Mr. McNeil said the restaurant provision is different than the business provision; in the business provision, the employer doesn't have to have separate sections, but only has to work out a plan that is satisfactory to his employees. Further discussion. RON SCHLICTEME:'ER was present and said he is a business owner in the City; he is concerned about customers; his store is a long store and he would like to know what areas he can designate as smoking areas. Mr. McNeil said under the Ordinance, smoking would be prohibited in retail establishments. Further discussion. TERRI BETTENCOURT was present and said she is a City employee working in a department where everyone smokes; they all try to be courteous smokers and they do not go to the counter with their cigarettes; the government is trying to regulate everything; next they will try to regulate caffein, sugar, salt or whatever; she tries to comply with the law and thinks most people really mean well; why do we need more laws?; she would like the right to smoke at her desk. Mayor Morgan said if everyone in her department smokes, this wouldn't apply to her. Discussion. DEL REDDING, 114 Harbison, was present and said he is a businessman in the City and a smoker; as a businessman, if a client comes into his office and smoke bothers him, he respects their wishes; when a businessman is told that he cannot smoke in his own office, smoking will still continue; Council should put a lot of thought into how this Ordinance is worded. Discussion. Councilman Dalla said he has a problem with the enforcement aspect and holding non-smokers as liable as smokers. Further discussion. No one else was present to speak in this regard. Moved by Waters,,seconded by Van Deventer, the Public Hearing be closed and the Ordinance adopted. Carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Van Deventer, Waters, Morgan. Nays: Cooper.
