The City Engineer's report on VACATION of 'A' AVENUE from 22ND Street to
24TH Street (On May 3, 1983, Council directed staff to investigate the
feasibility of vacating 'A' Ave. between 22nd St. and 24th St.; staff
solicited comments from Fire, Police, Public Works and Planning
Departments relative to the proposed vacation; Police Dept. has no
strong objection, but it should be understood that this closure will make
patrol of the private business property more difficult and owners should
be encouraged to consider that fact; police service to residents in the
adjacent area would not be affected; the Fire Dept. will not object if
the following conditions are met: 1. A recorded Fire Dept. access
easement 20' wide to run the full length of 'Al Ave. from 22nd to 24th
be provided; the easement be either the westerly 20' or middle 20' of
the existing street; at least one access point shall be maintained via
22nd St. and may be limited by a locked gate or chain utilizing an
approved Fire Dept. locking device; 2. A fire hydrant be located at the
SE corner of the intersection of 22nd St. and 'A' Ave. to provide a
minimum fire flow of 2,000 gpm for 4 hours duration at 20 psi residual;
the fire hydrant shall be installed as a public hydrant according to
Sweetwater Authority and the City specifications; Public Works Dept. has
no objection provided that proper measures for drainage are taken; it
might be appropriate to require the beneficiary of this to provide some
off-street parking as a part of the deal; the vacation will eliminate
some existing on -street parking in a parking premium area; the Planning
Dept. has concluded this would have no adverse effect on land use or
circulation in the area; easements would have to be reserved for
S.D.G. & E. for existing and proposed storm drain facilities and for
Fire Dept. access; curbs, gutters, and sidewalks would have to be
constructed across 'A' Ave. on the South side of 22nd and the North side
of 24th, and the Fire Dept. wants a hydrant at the SE corner of 22nd &
'A'; estimated cost of all these improvements is $11,000; if the street
is not vacated, it must be reconstructed since there is overall failure
of the pavement structural section; estimated cost to reconstruct is
$40,000; since the adjacent automobile dealer will be the main
beneficiary, Council may want to have them share in the cost of the
vacation; staff recommends the street vacation proceed) was presented.
Moved by Morgan, seconded by Van Deventer, the property owner pay
$11,000 into the City treasury and the City do the work. Discussion re
parking. City Attorney McLean said if Council directs staff to proceed,
a staff report will go to the Planning Commission outlining the kinds of
conditions that should be imposed, such as off-street parking, costs,
the fire hydrant, and fencing. Motion carried by unanimous vote.
The request of the MIRAMAR FIRE ACADEMY for a DONATION of 212" FIRE HOSE
that we will be declaring surplus (Based on our current dependency on
the Miramar Fire Academy to furnish well -trained recruits for our
Department, this would be a goodwill gesture on our part and would have
little impact on our department; the value of the surplus 22" fire hose
is approximately $.30 per foot; the total value of 500 ft. would be
$150; staff recommends that 500 ft. of surplus 22" fire hose be donated
to the Miramar Fire Academy) was presented. Moved by Van Deventer,
seconded by Waters, in favor of this request. Carried by unanimous vote.
The Public Works Director's request for REMOVAL of UNAPPROVED WORK in a
public place (Seven USA TODAY newspaper vending machines are located in
the public right-of-way and are attached [bolted or chained] to public
facilities; no City approval was sought or obtained; this is in
violation of Ordinance 900 requiring that any work done in or upon any
public place shall have been done in accord with plans and specifications
approved by the Superintendent of Streets; the Ordinance further states
that such work may not be allowed to remain in place and the City
Council may, after notice to remove, order the Superintendent of Streets
to remove same at the cost and expense of the owner; proper notice
requiring removal was posted on the offending newspaper vending machines
on May 11, 1983; staff recommends that Council direct the Superintendent

of Streets to remove the offending machines at the cost and expense of
USA TODAY) was presented. Discussion. Moved by Waters, seconded by
Van Deventer, in favor of this request. Further discussion. Carried by

The application for ON -SALE BEER LICENSE, TYPE 40, PERSON TRANSFER of
Guadalupe P. Gonzalez, dba ERIC'S CREWS INN, 2439 National City Blvd.
(Police, Planning and Building Departments state no objections) was

request. Carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Dalla,
Van Deventer, Waters. Nays: None. Abstaining: Morgan.
The CLAIM for DAMAGES of GEORGE W. ROBINSON/ALLSTATE INSURANCE 00.,
arising from an accident on March 20, 1983 and filed with the City Clerk

unanimous vote.
OTHER BUSINESS
STREET TREE AND PARKWAY COMMITTEE
The recommendations of the Street Tree and Parkway Committee meeting of
May 19, 1983 (... the following street tree removals: N. A. Capling,
3742 Peach Blossom Street, street tree is raising the curb and creating
a hazard, no replacement due to narrow parkway; Office of the City
Manager, 745 'E' Ave. near an empty lot, olive tree is lifting the
sidewalk, church to landscape upon completion; Walter F. Perez, 1111 'B'
Ave., two street trees have broken sidewalk, requires payment of $20
f$10 each replacement], Public Works to be informed of need for sidewalk
repairs) were presented. Moved by Waters, seconded by Van Deventer, in
favor of the Street Tree and Parkway Committee's recommendations.
Carried by unanimous vote.
The continued discussion of STREET LIGHTING POLICY was held at this time.
Mayor Morgan said Council authorized the City Attorney to get this ready
for the November ballot. City Manager McCabe said there is some apathy
in some areas in starting Neighborhood Watch Programs; the Police are
doing everything they possibly can to get the people to participate.
Councilman Van Deventer inquired if Police Chief Hart is still going to
come forward with a report. City Manager McCabe replied if Council so
directs. Councilman Van Deventer continued, he would still like to make
that direction; if the people in that area are concerned with crime, it
is the City's responsibility to take care of the people; if this requires
the Police Dept. to go out and help set up and explain the other side of
the picture to the people, we should do it. Mayor Morgan said he would
second the motion. Carried by unanimous vote. Moved by Waters,
seconded by Camacho, this communication be filed. Carried by unanimous
vote. ROSALIE ZARATE, 1730 E. 12th, was present and said the people are
tired of crimes being committed; she feels the CAL did not impress upon
the Council the need for a better community with better lighting; her
understanding was if enough crimes were committed in an area, they would
get lights; the City's policy on lighting is not acceptable to them; all
they are asking is that the people in the community feel safe and secure
in their homes and are able to go out at night. Discussion. Councilman
Van Deventer said if we can get Neighborhood Watch Programs started in
some of these areas, it would reduce crime; lights will not solve all
the problems; if people want to support the light district, the City can
put lights wherever they want as long as the whole community is willing
to pay for it. Vice Mayor Dalla said the Neighborhood Watch Program has
been in existence for several years; people get upset if the Police
aren't present whenever there is a problem; if the neighborhood people
don't participate, all the lights in the world won't matter.
CITY MANAGER
City Manager McCabe introduced the new Assistant City Manager, Gerald
Bolint.

trouble.

SENIOR HIGHRISE:
There is nothing in the minutes that could even remotely be
construed as opposing the Senior's highrise facility. In fact,
quite the contrary is true.
I had a vague recollection of not supporting some aspect of
the project. I was unable, however, to find anythng in the minutes
to confirm that recollection. Even if such a thing occurred, a
single vote out of the more than 40 that were required for the
Tower to be built would hardly indicate opposition.
The following have been taken from the official minutes of
the Redevelopment Agency and Community Development Commission:
In re - Resolution No. 75-24 (BG), Contract Regarding

HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
City of National City
National City, CA 92050
Dear Mayor Morgan and Councilmen:
During the last several years, accusations have been made
regarding my support or lack of support for certain major City
projects. Since I knew such claims to be distortions of fact,
my initial reaction was to ignore them. When the accusations
continued I attempted to explain to those making them that their
information was inaccurate and incomplete.
Unfortunately neither ignoring or explaining the erroneous
claims has deterred those who insist on repeating them. It is
almost as if there is a belief that constant repetition of distorted
facts will somehow render them true or at least cause others to
believe them true. I feel compelled and duty bound therefore to
take extraordinary steps to set the record straight.
In order to do so I have reviewed the official minutes of'the
Redevelopment Agency, the Community Development Commission, Parking
Authority, and Housing Authority, beginning in March of 1974. The
purpose of such review was to extrapolate pertinent motions and
resolutions relating to the Plaza Bonita Shopping Center project
and the Seniors Highrise, which are the two issues most often the
subject of erroneous claims. It is my intent to document a true
and accurate account of my voting record and position on both
projects.
It should be clear to any reasonable person that takes the
time to review the enclosed documentation that any claim, charge
or accusation that I opposed either project is a gross distortion
of fact.
Included in this document and made a part of the record are
excerpts from the official minutes of those Agencies responsible
for the Plaza Bonita Shopping Center and the Seniors Highrise.
The minutes essentially speak for themselves. However, due to the
sheer volume of material over the years it would be impractical to
reproduce the complete record of every vote ever taken on both
projects.
However, no motions or resolutions have been intentionally
excluded that would materially change its outcome or conclusion,
PLAZA BONITA PROJECT:
The Plaza Bonita Project and its various related aspects has
been voted upon approximately 100 times since March of 1974. The
enclosed records will show that I consistently supported the Center
in the overwhelming majority of cases. The two areas where I either
voted against the project or abstained related primarily to the
Environmental Impact Report and its conclusions. Also expressed on
numerous occasions was concern for the financial aspects of the
project. Such votes and concerns cannot conceivably be construed
as opposing the Center itself, particularly in view of continuing
support for all other aspects of the project.
The following excerpts are taken from the minutes indicated:
In re - Declaration that the or000sed Bonita Sh000ing
Center may have an effect on the environment
The Director recommended that the Redevelopment Agency file a
statement pursuant to the Local Guidelines implementing the
California Environmental Quality Act as amended, that the Bonita
Shopping Center may have an effect on the environment. Such a
statement would call for the preparation of a draft environmental
statement. The Director's recommendation was approved by Camacho
and seconded by Pinson. Carried by unanimous vote. (April 2,
1974, page 41)
In re - Resolution No. 74-13(B), Contract with Blyth
Eastman Dillon & Co. for the Bonita Project
A RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF
NATIONAL CITY AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SIGN
ON BEHALF OF THE AGENCY A CONTRACT WITH BLYTH EASTMAN DILLON
& CO. INCORPORATED AS FINANCING CONSULTANTS. A motion was
made by Pinson that the resolution be adopted. The motion was
seconded by Dalla and carried by unanimous vote. (May 21, 1974,
page 50)
In re - Resolution No. 74-14(B), Contract with O'Melveny
& Myers for the Bonita Project
A RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF
NATIONAL CITY AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SIGN
ON BEHALF OF THE AGENCY A CONTRACT FOR BOND COUNSEL WITH
THE FIRM OF O'MELVENY & MYERS. Camacho moved in favor of
adopting the resolution. The motion was seconded by Reid. Carried
by unanimous vote. (May 21, 1974, page 50)
In re - The Environmental Impact Report
The Director indicated the members of the Redevelopment Agency
are in a position to decide what they would like to do with the
Impact Report at this time.
Chairman Morgan asked what was the pleasure of the Agency.
Mr. Camacho said if the Agency wishes to approve the Final En-
vironmental Impact Report, they should make two separate motions.
The second motion should be voted on after the first motion. Vice
Mayor Camacho said, "After Reviewing the written comments made
by persons and entities on the Draft Environmental Impact Report
and subsequent to hearing the statements made by interested persons
at the regular Redevelopment Agency meeting of June 18, 1974, on
the Draft Environmental Impact Report, and further having received
a written response prepared by the consultant to the aforementioned
verbal and written reviews, and having listened to the consultants'
responses to the major issues raised by the reviewers, and having
heard the comments made this evening, it is hereby moved that the
Final Environmental Impact Report for the Bonita Plaza project is
in order and is hereby adopted." Seconded by Councilman Pinson.
Carried by the following vote; AYES: Mr. Reid, Mr. Camacho,
Mr. Pinson, Chairman Morgan; NAYS: Mr. Della. Vice Mayor Camacho
said his second motion was, "It is moved that (1) the proposed
Bonita Plaza project is hereby approved and (2) the Secretary of
the Redevelopment Agency is hereby directed to file with the County
Clerk of San Diego County and the California Secretary for Resources
a Notice of Determination that indicates the project has been
approved, that the project will have a significant effect on the
environment, and that an Environmental Impact Report has been
prepared and adopted pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended, and (3) the Secretary
of the Redevelopment Agency is instructed to file a copy of the

CONCLUSION
Obviously, all major projects are voted upon many times
between inception and completion. If not satisfied with some
aspect of a project I may vote against it. I make no apologies
for that. I consider that part of my responsibility to those who
elected me. To single out an isolated vote here and there and then
represent such votes as indicative of a position on the larger
issue is either an ignorant error or an intentional distortion of
the record.
If anyone has documentation that materially conflicts with
the representations contained in this correspondence, I hope they
will come forward so that it can be weighed against the full and
complete record and thereby permit others to draw their own informed
conclusion.
It is my hope that a reexamination of the complete record
will serve to put these past issues and discrepancies behind us
and allow us to get on with today's problems and tomorrow's
challenges.
Sincerely yours,
D
