said the CDC is requesting $200,000, to be used for the Downtown
Redevelopment Project; the Commission has in its budget, $3.5 million
for property acquisition, but due to existing litigation on this project,
the Commission does not have adequate funds; the Commission also has an
existing debt to the City of $742,000; if funds are approved, the money
will be used, in part, to discharge this debt. Discussion. Carried by
unanimous vote. Moved by Waters, seconded by Van Deventer, the Capital
Improvement Program be approved (12-8104 - $282,000 to construct
Eastside fire station; provides partial funding of the estimated

repair program; 12-8103 - $73,000 for Police communications equipment;
replaces and updates 15-20 year old radio equipment in the Police Dept.;
new equipment will increase efficiency and productivity in the dispatch
center, as well as provide for additional space in the room due to
smaller equipment). Carried by unanimous vote. Moved by Van Deventer,
seconded by Camacho, Item 565, Land Acquisition (It has been proposed
that the City acquire a privately owned parcel of real estate along
Sweetwater Rd., adjacent to Las Palmas Golf Course, to be added to the
golf course lease and provide a•site for a permanent clubhouse, be
denied. Discussion. Councilman Waters stated that for the last 8-10
years, Mr. Jackson, who runs the clubhouse at the Golf Course, has been
saying he cannot afford to build a permanent building; the City has
never received any money from him. Mr. Waters would like to see a
financial report showing Mr. Jackson's capability of building a
permanent structure. Mayor Morgan said if the City buys the land, Mr.
Jackson could get a loan and build a clubhouse and a restaurant, and
when his lease is up, the buildings would belong to the City; the City
would receive 5% of all sales from the restaurant. Further discussion.
Councilman Van Deventer said the money is needed for other projects at
this time; we need new traffic signals, and the roof on the Civic
Center needs to be redone. Further discussion. Councilman Dalla said
having this property and a clubhouse could be desirable; however, the
golf course is used primarily by senior citizens, and having this
additional piece of property will not have any impact on whether or not
the seniors can play golf. Mr. Dalla also questioned Mr. Jackson's
ability to obtain funds to build a permanent building at this time. Mr. Dalla continued, there are several restaurants in the shopping center
across the street; a restaurant on the golf course would not bring in
much profit. Further discussion, Moved by Morgan, seconded by Waters,
the motion be amended to include that $50,000 be set aside from the
budget for later acquisition of the golf course land. Moved by
Van Deventer, seconded by Dalla, the amendment to the motion be amended
to include that a committee be appointed to evaluate acquisition of the
golf course land prior to acquisition. Discussion. The amendment to
the amendment to the motion carried, by unanimous vote. Amendment to
the motion carried, by the following vote, to -wit; Ayes: Camacho,
Waters, Morgan. Nays: Dalla, Van Deventer. Motion carried, by the
following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Van Deventer, Waters, Morgan.

Resolution No. 13,820, "RESOLUTION APPROVING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION PLAN FOR MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES
ASSOCIATION." MARIE MOUNTS (Library Technician) was present and said
she is concerned with the recommended 'Y' rating of Library Technicians;
at the same time our salary survey was being conducted, a like survey
was being conducted by San Diego Public Library; on May 10, San Diego
Public Library raised the salaries of their Library Assistants
(comparable to our Library Technicians) $200/month, placing them
approximately $90/month higher than the proposed pay in National City.
GWEN SURBER (representing the clerical personnel, Records Division,
NCPD) was present and requested that the clerks in the Police Dept. be
reclassified as Police Records Clerks, remaining in at least salary
range 69 (unfrozen); they feel it is unfair to group them with Clerk
Typists from other City Departments, and a better evaluation can be
reached by comparing their duties and responsibilities with other law
enforcement clerical positions. ROSEMARY BERGMAN (representing the
Records Division, NCPD) was present, and requested a further review of
the pay decisions proposed for the Police Records Supervisor and the
Police Chiefs Secretary; the Records Manager assumed many duties
performed by the Asst. Chief of Police when he retired, and when
personnel shortages exist, assumes many records division duties along
with her own; the Police Chief's Secretary assumes some of the duties of
the Records Manager when necessity dictates. IONE CAMPBELL, City Clerk,
said she is concerned with the omission of the position of Deputy City
Clerk from the survey; an employee was hired as a secretary, is being
trained for Deputy City Clerk, and was to be promoted next year; both
she and the employee requested survey of the Deputy City Clerk
classification rather than the "secretary -in -training" position; both
she and the employee were interviewed by Arthur Young, and were told
they would study the Deputy City Clerk classification; however, when the
survey was completed, the position of Deputy City Clerk was not included.
STEVE WHEELER, Administrative Analyst, was present and said the salary
survey results from an agreement between the Municipal Employees Assoc.
and the City; Arthur Young & Co. was selected from seven bid respondents
on the basis of experience and knowledge in conducting this kind of
study; the City considers the recommendations to be comprehensive and
complete, and staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 13,820,
implementing the recommendations of Arthur Young. Mr. Wheeler
introduced RICH CLELLAND, Sr. Consultant, Arthur Young & Co. Mr. Clelland
stated that the salary increase for Library Assistants in San Diego will
be effective in the next fiscal year; the job of the clerks in the
Police Dept. are similar to the duties and responsibilities being
performed by other Typist Clerk II's in the City; there is not
substantial difference to warrant creating a new classification.
Discussion. Mr. Clelland continued, regarding the Secretary to the City
Clerk, at the present time, the incumbent is performing the duties and
responsibilities of a secretary; it is difficult, if not impossible to
create a new classification when no one is presently doing the job.
Councilman Waters inquired if the survey had taken into consideration,
the requirement of having a Deputy City Clerk to take over the
responsibilities of the City Clerk in her absence. Mr. Clelland replied
that it did not. Mrs. Campbell said she had particularly asked that the
unfilled position of Deputy City Clerk be classified; had she been told
that unfilled positions would not be classified, she would have asked
for reclassification of the in -training secretary, which is considerably
more than secretaries are doing. Further discussion. Moved by Morgan,
seconded by Waters, Resolution No. 13,820 be adopted and the City Manager
be authorized to make a study on the positions that made presentations,
and make a recommendation to Council within three months. Carried by
unanimous vote.
Resolution No. 13,821, "RESOLUTION DIRECTING NOTICE OF FILING OF
ASSESSMENT AND TIME OF HEARING THEREON, DISTRICT NO. 208." Moved by
Van Deventer, seconded by Camacho, Resolution No. 13,821 be adopted.
Discussion. Carried by unanimous vote.

None.
The request of the Building & Safety Dept. for AUTHORIZATION to ACCEPT
a GRANT, up to $1,000 from the FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
for NOISE ENFORCEMENT TRAINING for the National City Code Conformance
Officer (the EPA has made funds available to reimburse recipient
communities for up to $1,000 of actual expenses incurred by city
employees in the pursuit of training in noise control; this does not
commit or bind the City in any way; training of our new Code Conformance
Officer will be consistent with the recently enacted noise control
program; staff recommends that the City Manager be authorized to sign
the necessary agreement for this grant and the Code Conformance Officer
be sent to the training program in Phoeni, Arizona on July 15 & 16, 1982
at no cost to the City) was presented. Moved by Waters, seconded by
Van Deventer, in favor of this request. Carried by unanimous vote.

Authority proposed RESERVOIR SITES (The Planning Dept. received a
Notice of Preparation for a Draft Environmental Impact Report from the
Sweetwater Authority for construction of three reservoirs on two sites,
one of which is located in National City; the City has no jurisdictional.
control over the building and zoning aspects of the projects [Sec. 53091,
California Government Code]; the Planning Dept. has transmitted a
response to the Notice of Preparation, addressing these issues: seismic
safety of the facilities, impacts of grading on soil erosion and dust
generation, visual considerations, and traffic and neighborhood
disruption possibilities created during construction; the "O. D. Arnold
Reservoir" site is in National City, South of Paradise Valley Rd.; all
state and local agencies must conform to the CEQA process which requires
that all local, environmental and social conditions be considered when

total net cost of this change order is $5,929.95; the major addition is
time. and material costs to strip forms, reform and perform minor regrading
of Alley 79 from STA. 0+40 to STA. 6+20, resulting in a cost of
$6,265.30; this work was necessary when it was determined in the
construction of Alley 79 that existing drainage patterns and driveway
access would be changed by the original plan to the detriment of the
property owners adjacent to the alley; cost of this change represents
an increase of 6.8% in the cost of the contract; allocated project funds
are available to cover this cost; staff recommends the change order be

CITY CLERK: The Public Hearing on General Revenue Sharing - Budget
Hearing, 1982-83 Fiscal Year.
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: Your Honor, this is the required Revenue Sharing
Hearing. The Proposed Use Hearing was conducted by your City Staff on
April 19, 1982, as required under regulations of General Revenue Sharing.
Those same regulations require now that the City Council hold a second
public hearing to consider additional testimony prior to adopting a
final budget. Council has the final budget as part of my overall City
budget, and there is a copy in your agenda books tonight.
MAYOR MORGAN: This is a public hearing. Is there anyone in the audience
to speak on this hearing?
SHERYL HULSEY: My name is Sheryl Hulsey and I live at 50 Monte Vista
Avenue in Chula Vista, and I'm the Director of the Girls' Club in
National City at 300 E. 15th Street. I would like to apologize for
coming in on this hearing rather than the first one, but I wasn't
aware of when the first hearing was held, and I'm new to the process
here in National City, so I would like to apologize for this.
MAYOR MORGAN: One thing, you should have come before the one whenever
when the Manager had his hearing. After he has his hearing, then he
makes a budget, and then put it together -- a balanced budget. Go
ahead.
SHERYL HULSEY: I know that now. I didn't know that before. Okay, we
would like, we're requesting $5,000 in funds to repaint the exterior
and the interior of the Girls' Club. The paint on the trim, the wood
part of the exterior of the building, and it goes into the interior of
the auditorium, is peeling and cracking and the wood is starting to
crack, and therefore, the wood will need to be sanded, oiled and primed
before it can even be painted to preserve it. I was told that if this
is not done, we'll have to replace the wood because it will start
rotting, and that will be much more expensive than this process. The
brick portion of the building will need to be hydro -blasted to clean
the dirt off thoroughly, and the cracks that have come from time and
wear need to be filled before it can be painted so that the paint will
seal properly. We have also included in our request funds to paint
the interior of the rooms that have not been painted recently, and
when I first became Director of the Girls' Club, we took a week to
scrub all the walls as thoroughly as we could, but there's some that
there's just no way you can get them to look nice, especially in the
auditorium, which is where we have a lot of activities. The Girls'
Club is in a growth phase. We're attracting more members and we'd
like to keep them there. I feel for the girls to want to come there
and take pride in the facility, it has to look nice also, and you
know, I've noticed that a lot of work has been done in the park and
in the Boys' Club, and that whole area is looking very nice, and I
think it would be nice for the Girls' Club to look just as nice and
improve the overall appearance of the area.

City Council Minutes 6/8/82
MAYOR MORGAN: Let me ask the City Attorney a question. Mr. Attorney,
when we have a public hearing like this - I know it has to be under
the Revenue Sharing. What if we adopt this budget and say if some
way or some luck that we didn't spend $5,000 for one of the items that
we're going to spend, not take it out now, just say alright make a
motion that we approve the budget, and if the Manager can find that we
can save at the end of the year, $5,000 would be earmarked for them.
Would that be legal?
CITY ATTORNEY MC LEAN: I assume the Manager would then come back and
Council would specifically authorize spending $5,000 on the Girls'
Club.
MAYOR MORGAN: We just wouldn't have to go through a public hearing.
CITY ATTORNEY MC LEAN: No.
SHERYL HULSEY: I don't know if you have a copy of what I submitted to
Mr. McCabe. Okay, so you have the breakdown. Okay, that's all. Thank
you.
MAYOR MORGAN: Anyone else to speak on this Revenue Sharing? I'd sure
like to see - if we adopt this budget, I'd like to see if the Manager
can find, if he can save in some of these budgets, $5,000 that could
be earmarked for the Girls' Club.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Mr. City Manager, these recommendations of spending
Revenue Sharing money - this is really your recommendation. The Council
now has to look through this and see whether we agree with you 100%.
Is that correct?
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: That's correct. This is a staff recommendation for
the allocation of funds.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I see, and of course if anyone has any questions of
any of this, then we should talk about it right now.
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: Yes sir.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: I'd like to take Item One all the way through.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Item One?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: It's 650A. I'd like to have them voted on on an
individual basis. • On page -- the'annual budget, where it gives a
breakdown of the expenditures.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Is it activity 22, or what number would it be?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Yes, activity 22.
MAYOR MORGAN: On 3?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Item 22.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Activity number at the top of the Annual Budget, on the
right, 22. Any particular item?
VICE MAYOR CAMACHO: It's on the .second page, isn't it?
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: The second page, under grants and other agencies,
the first item.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Yes.

COUNCILMAN DALLA: We should take each item, one by one, make a motion,
second,- and discuss each item and go on down the line?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Yes, .I'd move in favor of 650A.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: I second.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: 650A
MAYOR MORGAN Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Alright, I got it.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Was that seconded?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Yes, there was a second.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I was gonna second it, but I'd like to ask a question.
Has anyone checked with the Chamber, just,how is this gonna be handled
to where the Council can kind of keep an eye on the $5,000, that it's
used for that specific thing? I think it's a good idea. I'd go along
with that.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: I met with Mr. Webster from the Chamber of Commerce, and
they presently have a small program where they go around and try and
paint out graffiti, but it's in cooperation with the Boys' Club and kind
of on an availability basis.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: You can buy a lot of paint for $5,000.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: With this amount of money, they propose to look into
the possibility of getting some people that can do the job a little
more reliably - not that the Boys' Club's not reliable, but on a more
frequent basis, and if the program is set up, if we have areas that we
note need to be painted out, whether it's on private property or public
property, then we would contact the Chamber of Commerce and they would
make an effort to take care of it as soon as possible.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: That would seem to be about the most inexpensive way
to go about that.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: They take care of the labor and making the arrangements,
and we would just be in touch with them and help them, help them out.
MAY0k MORGAN: What they do is have the Boys' Club more or less, I think
it.'s volunteer labor that does that, so that $5,000 will go a long ways.
Further discussion. Vote please.
CITY;: CLERK: Carried by unanimous vote.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I move in favor of 650E and 650F.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: I'd second that motion,
COUNCILMAN WATERS: And then also 650G. Those three items there.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: There's nothing for G.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Oh, G isn't funded. Okay. Those two items, I move
in favor of.
MAYOR MORGAN: 'Discussion on this motion. Vote please.
CITY CLERK: Carried by unanimous vote.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Move in favor of 650J.

City Council Minutes 6/8/82
MAYOR MORGAN: Is there a second?
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Second.
MAYOR MORGAN: Discussion?
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Can I ask a question? Is there any duplication between
the Meals on Wheels and the Nutrition Program? Is that overlapping?
MAYOR MORGAN: No.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Or is one filling the need that another is not?
MAYOR MORGAN: That's our share of it.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: I think the question is the $2,000 that Meals on
Wheels - the van that we have over there now has the facility to deliver
what-- we have no one representing them. (Lady in audience stands up.)
You're representing Meals on Wheels? (Lady said she was representing
Meals on Wheels.) What I'm trying to find out, is our program at
Morgan Towers with those hot plates, are we delivering, out of that
particular facility now? When we pick up - this question has came up
before, where we go out and pick up people, we're taking some meals out
and dropping them off. Could you answer that question?
MAYOR MORGAN: This here is not what they do. At Meals on Wheels, they
go into homes where they can't go outside. And what they do over there,
is people that they can go pick them up and then bring them.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: But we have the facility, the reason we got
that latest van over there was deliver them out as we pick up people,
we're supposed to drop food off also. Are we doing that or are we not?
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: There's a similarity to it, but'it's not the same
program. The majority of this goes for the Nutrition out of Morgan
Towers. Meals on Wheels are operated separately and serving a different
clientele.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Could we have that question asked for information?
I mean we'll go on with.
MAYOR MORGAN: You can give us an answer on that, can't you?
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: Yes.
MAYOR MORGAN: Further discussion on this motion. Vote please.
CITY CLERK: Carried by unanimous vote.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: While we're on this same page, the National City
Historical Society actually needed $2,000 this year to finish up the
landscaping in front of the place, which most of you see has taken
place out there, plus $1,000 for a statue in the middle of the - I
mean included in the $2,000, $1,000 of it would be used for a statue
in the center of the waterfall that was built. But since I seen that
most of the Revenue Sharing was basically tied up, I didn't bother
even handing that equest in, but I hope that we keep that in mind if
there is any extra revenue sharing that isn't obligated, that we
consider that. I think that should finish the project up out there.
MAYOR MORGAN: I make a motion we adopt Item 650S.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Second.

COUNCILMAN DALLA: I just would like Mr. Peterson to briefly elaborate on
what he has in mind with this $200,000.
DIRECTOR, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION: My name is Arnold Peterson,
Director of the Community Development Commission, National City. On
behalf of the Community Development Commission, I requested the City
Council, through the City Manager, to approve $200,000 of General
Revenue Sharing money for the National City Downtown Redevelopment
Project. Briefly, my reason for making the request was my sense at
that time that we're gonna need more money, and I didn't know how
much more, and I didn't know what was reasonable to ask for, but I
knew that we'd need at least $200,000 more, and I thought that was a
reasonable request. The Community Development Commission has, in its
budget, $3.6 million shown for property acquisition in connection with
the Downtown project. The time of the bond sale, the amount of a
bond sale, owing to existing litigation is not known. It's an
uncertainty. We don't know what our court action will be, assuming
the courts approve our project completely, we don't know how many
condemnations, we don't know what the courts will do, we don't know
how many other lawsuits'will come at us, but I sense that one:thing
is certain and is that we are not going to have adequate funds, and
therefore, make a request.that the Council, if it can, allocate
$200,000 to the Community Development Commission. The Council is
reminded that the Commission, in addition to this need, has an
existing debt to the City of $742,000. So, if we had a lot of cash
money, didn't have debt, we'd be in a different condition, but we're
indebted, and we have a major project undertaking before us that will
be expensive, and that's the basis of that request.
MAYOR MORGAN: Thank you.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Mr. Peterson, if this money, assuming that is is
approved, do you propose to have the money transferred immediately?
The reason for the question simply is, with the existing situation
downtown, and litigation and those types of things, and all the
uncertainties, I don't know whether it would be beneficial for it to
be sitting over in a bank account earning. interest and maybe not be
spent until 11 or 12 months go by, or to have the City retain the
money until such time that you have a specific, definite need for it.
DIRECTOR,.COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION: Well there are these
definite specific needs. One, if we were to receive this money in
a lump sum, which sometimes we do not, sometimes it's scheduled over
a period of months, in payments and such as that, but as this money is
received, if it is received, we would utilize it to discharge, in
part, our debt to the City.
MAYOR MORGAN: Now this money doesn't come in at one time anyway. We
won't enough money to pay him before the middle of the year,
do we?
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: It comes in quarterly, your Honor, and the Finance
Dept. then prioritizes the distribution of the money according to
priorities of projects and the need dates. Likely, Pete wouldn't
receive the money any sooner than he did in previous years, which is
after January 1st usually.
MAYOR MORGAN: Further discussion?
CITY CLERK: Carried by unanimous vote.

MAYOR MORGAN: I make a motion this Capital Improvement Program_be approved,
That's number 22, isn't it?
COUNCILMAN DALLA: The next page.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: You're talking about 565?
MAYOR MORGAN: Well, it's 12-8104 and 12-8208.
COUNCILMAN_VAN DEVENTER: 565 you're talking about?
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I move in favor of those three items, 12-8104, 8208
and 8103, that's police communications equipment, repair program on
City curbs and sidewalks and the fire station.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: 'Second.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I move in favor of these three items.
MAYOR MORGAN: Further discussion? Vote please.
CITY CLERK: Carried by unanimous vote.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: I move for denial of 565.
VICE MAYOR CAMACHO: Second.
MAYOR MORGAN: I think we need to keep that in there, I'll tell you that.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Let me ask a couple questions.
MAYOR MORGAN: It's moved and seconded we take the land out.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Under discussion - This is a piece of land that's out
_front on the Golf Course. This is a request that was made by the man
from the -Golf Course, is that correct?
MAYOR MORGAN: That's right.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Alright. The thing -- there's one item that concerns
me about that..,,_ One idea of it rather, I should say, that concerns me
about that -- we have a -- I believe in the little Golf Course down there.
I think it does an excellent job for the senior citizens here, but what
bothers me about this is when we acquire this property, that's fine,
but the man is required to build the building. But he tells us for the
last 8-10 years that he has no money, you know, to pay us any income off
of and everything, and I would like to have an explanation from him how
he intends to get theilmoney to build the building. In other words,
we're purchasing - were tying up our dollars to purchase this property
that's fine providinglHthat we receive something from it, and providing
that the man is really capable of proceeding, which it appears .he is
not, because the last!8-10 years he hasn't paid us a dime because he
always said that he can't, you know, he doesn't make any money. I'd
like to see a financial report how he can build a nice building.
MAYOR MORGAN: This is what he intends to do. He intends to build a
building out in front, on the street, where he picks up traffic from
off the street. Just,like - what's the one across the street?
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I know what he intends to do, but how does he intend
to build the building?,
Verbatim Extract Page 7
City Council Minutes 6/8/82
MAYOR MORGAN: He can borrow money. If.we can buy the land and he can
build the restaurant out there, then he'll put his clubhouse in there,
and he'll have the clubhouse and all of this will belong to the City.
All the money that he spends on this will be the City's when he's
through with it and his lease is up. He's spending money on City
property and it will be owned entirely by the City of National City.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Is there would it be ...
MAYOR MORGAN: With 5% - he's gonna pay the City back 5% of the sales out
there. And 5% of the sales I think would bring in a pretty good sum of
money in here.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Would it be necessary to take it all out of this year's
budget? Could you buy half of it, or set half of it aside for now and
for next year?
MAYOR MORGAN: Let's talk about that. We can do that, but now next year
next year --`he's got a trailer there as a clubhouse, and you fellas
has just only extended it for one year this year.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: 'We didn't extend that. It's never came back
to us. We've never extended that. The report came through and we
tabled the issue for now.
MAYOR MORGAN: We can set aside $60,000, but next year it'll be more.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Part of this can be set aside. It doesn't mean we have
to use it for that later, but you think ...
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: There's more needs in the City of National City
than another piece of property to put a golf course and put a private
business in. We need traffic lights. A person was killed out here on
8th St. or Paradise Valley Rd., was thrown off a motorcycle coming
into National City. We have capital improvements that were put off.
The roof on this particular building was planned to be re -roofed, but
isn't. It's gonna start leaking. We have other improvements needed.
We have a traffic light over here that the people have asked for that
is needed, that that $120,000 could be spent on a better use in the
City of National City this year. I'm not saying -- I think arrangements
could be set up that would be more profitable to the -City of National
City and myself, I'm willing to sit down and discuss it with him on some
type of basis, but not on the basis that we have here. I think the money
is needed for other projects at present.
MAYOR MORGAN: This is the thing. He takes care of 100 or 200 seniors out
there at the Golf Course. They got an organization there with 100, 150,
200, I don't know how many they have there, and no good golfers play on
this. It's all the seniors of National City. It's not outside people.
It's the people in National City.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Why isn't it bringing us any income at all?
We've never received a dollar.
MAYOR MORGAN: It will never -- just exactly like Chula Vista -- they got
one of the finest golf courses -- the City of Chula Vista got. A golf
course does not pay. Ain't none of them pay. The San Diego Country
Club loses thousands and thousands of dollars every month, and this is
private membership. We go in the hole every day.
VICE MAYOR CAMACHO: The swimming pool is. the same thing.
MAYOR MORGAN: The swimming pool is the same thing.

COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: What is, you know ---the whole story is what's
one life worth? And here we're talking about an area that we've had
major problems with. We tried to work with the County. They're
strapped on money, and we're talking $60-70,000 on a set of traffic
signals.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Whereabouts is this?
MAYOR MORGAN: We've got in the budget this year that light that you're
talking about. One at 'L' St. or one out there.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: No, 'L' St.
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: It's 'L' St. Council talked about the one the
following year.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Do you have the money set aside?
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: Mr. Van Deventer talked about it and we talked about
designing both.:
COUNCILMAN WATERS;: Do you have money set aside for that right now?
MAYOR MORGAN: We've got the money set aside for a light.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: No I mean the City Manager, do you have money set aside?
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: For which light?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: One light.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: One light.
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: Yes sir.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Which one's that?
CITY MANAGER MC CABE: 'L' on Plaza.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: And the one you're talking about, Jess.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Is Paradise and Plaza Blvd.
MAYOR MORGAN: Mr. Manager, you know that Council said in the budget
session that the ones that come up first would be it. Now it wasn't
designated for 'L' Ave.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Well you need both of them though. The problem
is, you got a problem over here on the West side. These people have
came forward, spoke to all of us. We've all went over there. We tried
to solve the problem. We're not solving that problem til we have some
type of light put in that area, and I think this particular issue should
be set down, a committee appointed to discuss this item with him and
come back with an ironclad deal that's willing to be accepted by
everybody - members of this City Council. It's an issue that's been
beat around for long before I was here. It's all the time when all
of you been there.
MAYOR MORGAN: Well what are they going to do with the clubhouse when it
comes up next year?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: We've given him four years already extension.
Why not give him another one?
Verbatim Extract Page 9
City Council Minutes 6/8/82
MAYOR MORGAN: Well that's what I said at the time.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: How do you feel about that light?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: I'll give him a year's extension instead of
buying the property.
MAYOR MORGAN: We should buy that property. That's the City's and get him
started on it. He'll spend I don't know how much of his money, but
he'll have to spend $100-200,000 on it, and he's spending it on City land
and when he leaves here, that belongs to the City. I don't see any
better deal than that. That's a beautiful setup and we get 5% of the
sales out there.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: I'd like to make a few distinctions here. We're
talking about City property, and the City's gonna own the building or
own whatever is built there. We're also talking about a leasehold that's
gonna go into the year 2000+. The man's got 20 some odd years left on
this lease. Maybe it's 30. I haven't really checked recently. I think
having a facility on the street would be desirable, but we've already
established the fact that the people that play there are seniors, they're
not people that are passing by, that have - that are gonna stop in
because they see a golf club or restaurant or whatever it is they propose
to build right on the street. And whether or not we purchase this
property is not going to impact the ability of the seniors to play golf
there. A couple of other things, or several other things. I've never
heard any mention about 5%. We've never had any written correspondence
from the gentleman from the Golf Course. This is all rather very tenuous
and the details seem to be more to be worked out than have been worked
out already. A couple of other things, the gentleman has not paid the
City anything on the existing lease. The financial statement shows that
they're losing money, not making money, and I would echo Mr. Waters'
concern if he cannot afford to make any payment to the City whatsoever,
how is he in fact going to afford to build a building. One of the things
he's going to do is go to the bank to get a loan, and he's gonna show
them, I assume, the same financial statement we've seen, and I don't
think you're gonna find a bank that's gonna loan anybody money based on
that financial statement. I could see us buying the land and finding
out that he can't afford to build it, so then we're gonna make him a
little loan later on to build the building. And until some of these
things are worked out, I think we're getting ahead of ourselves. I
think it's desirable, but I don't consider it a high priority that we
go ahead with this particular project. A couple of other things
related to restaurants and golf courses. Most golf courses have
restaurants for one reason, primarily because the golf courses are way out
in the sticks somewhere and the only place you can get anything to eat is
at the golf course if they have a restaurant. We're talking about a golf
course that is located across the street from a shopping center where
there are, I don't know, two, three restaurants already, and most
restaurant operations in golf courses are marginal. That's not where
they make their money either. And if the seniors - I question how the
seniors are going to afford to pay for the food at the restaurant if
that's only a sideline. What other things do I have here? I don't know
what kind of return we're gonna get, but the Mayor mentioned 5%. That's
never showed up anywhere and it's 5% of what? Gross sales? Net Sales?
Food sales? What kind of sales?
MAYOR MORGAN: Gross sales. For food and drinks.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: But none of the supplies?
Verbatim Extract Page 10
City Council Minutes 6/8/82
MAYOR MORGAN: What he does, what he does onthe supplies, he makes 5%.
Now if you want supplies in there, you can go see him. Authorize the
City Manager to go see him. I don't know but there won't be very much
in supplies because they don't sell too much anyway because of the
competition.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: The existing Capital Improvement Budget has eliminated
or deferred some things: one is a roof for this building which leaks;
the other one is a traffic signal at Paradise Rd. and Plaza Blvd. which
is out past the intersection of E. 8th St. and Plaza, where Peach
Blossom is. That's been deferred, as well as the roof, and it just
seems to me that some other things take a higher priority than buying a
piece of property for future development, a very tenuous development,
as a golf course clubhouse and restaurant whose return to the City is
going to be marginal.
MAYOR MORGAN: I got one thing. I don't want the audience to feel that
they've been misled. This Golf Course, ever since it's been in there,
furnished all the water to the swimming pool, and all the water to the
park out there. It cost a lot of money to do that, and that's been the
rent of all the water in the swimming pool and all the water on the
Golf Course out there. So it has been a big savings.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: But it's our water.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Those are City wells, Mr. Mayor.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: It belongs to the City. That's the difference.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I'm a great one for compromising a little bit too.
MAYOR MORGAN: I'd make a motion we amend the motion that we set aside
$60,000 this year for that clubhouse and authorize the City Manager to
put in another $60,000 for next year.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: If you say $50,000, I'll support
MAYOR MORGAN: Okay, $50,000.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I'll second that.
MAYOR MORGAN: Now we'll have to appropriate a little.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Now that's to put aside for the purchase of that lot
for next year.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER:, I'd like to make an amendment to that motion.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: And then I would also - you make an amendment?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: I'd like to make one amendment.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: An amendment to the amendment you want.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: The total workout will be done by a committee
before any funds are done as far as the arrangement of the buildings,
return on investment.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: You're talking about the $50,000?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Whatever money we spend.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: It's put aside specifically for that.
MAYOR MORGAN: Jess, we can't do a thing with this because there's not
enough money to buy it anyway.
Verbatim Extract Page 11
City Council Minutes 6/8/82
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: If we don't put that in there, next year it'll be
automatically that that money goes. If we tie that to it now, when the
time does come, if it's five years down the road, we'll have a say-so.
MAYOR MORGAN: Is there a second to the amendment to the amendment?
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Second. I think its ...
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Are you gonna put an amendment to the amendment to
the amendment?
COUNCILMAN DALLA: No, but I think the problem with this Golf Course all
along has been that we've done things at the meetings here without
communicating like we should with the people that operate the Golf Course.
That's why they've got a lease into the year 2000.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: You explained it good.
COUNCILMAN DALLA; I don't know how we're gonna encumber - we're gonna
encumber $50,000. Is that your motion?
MAYOR MORGAN: That's right.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Set aside $50,000?
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Set aside for that property down there, and he can't
buy it until he gets 70 more.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Who can't?
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Unless he pays it out of his own pocket. It's gonna
turn out right if you go along with this.
MAYOR MORGAN: Further discussion on the amendment to the motion? Vote
please.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Amendment to the motion.
VICE MAYOR CAMACHO: We'll agree to that.
MAYOR MORGAN: That we set aside $50,000.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Now the Engineer fell asleep.
CITY ENGINEER GRAHL: No sir, the Engineer is confused.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: Holy Mackeral, there's a rainbow.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Mine's a No.
CITY ENGINEER GRAHL: Mr. Waters?
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I'm for it.
CITY CLERK: Motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Camacho, Waters,
Morgan. Nays: Van Deventer and Dalla.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: I'd like to make a motion that the money that we have ...
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: We got one more amendment.

which was that a committee would be appointed to evaluate the
expenditure if and when it is in the budget. That's now been
passed. That's the first thing you want to vote on. The next thing you
vote on is the first amendment which is the allocation of $50,000.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: We have to re -vote.
CITY ATTORNEY MC LEAN: You want to pass —the amendment to the amendment.

have an amendment now, which is $50,000 allocation.
MAYOR MORGAN: That's right. Now we'll vote on this motion. Vote for
$50,000.
CITY CLERK: Carried by the following vote: Ayes: Camacho, Waters, Morgan.
Nays: Dalla, Van Deventer.
CITY ATTORNEY MC LEAN: The underlying motion is to approve (deny) that
item of the capital outlay.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: That's already been done.
CITY ATTORNEY MC LEAN: I know, but you have a motion on the table. Vote
on that.
MAYOR MORGAN: Vote on this motion, please.
CITY CLERK: Carried by unanimous vote.
MAYOR MORGAN: I make a motion that we set aside $70,000 for that light on
Paradise Rd.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I make a motion that - that died for lack of second.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Second.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I make a motion that we set $60,000 aside for that
light out there on Paradise Valley.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: I'd second that motion.
MAYOR MORGAN: Further discussion? Vote please.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Under discussion -
COUNCILMAN WATERS: I make another motion.

COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: I did.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Mr. Van Deventer seconded it.
CITY CLERK: I've got it now.'
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Alright, under discussion - I think the first priority
is that light out there, but do we know that 60 or 70 is going to cover
it? Should we put in a specified limitation on what we appropriate for
that light?
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Our Engineer is here.
COUNCILMAN DALLA: Pardon me.

Yoinz Honor, traffic lights, the type we're
the vicinity of $70,000 at this time.
COUNCILMAN WATERS: If we don't have it to do, we'll pick up 10 next year.
CITY ATTORNEY MC LEAN: It's 60 now. It'll be in the budget, unless you
change your mind.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Okay, question - City Manager, if Revenue Sharing
supplies the $60,000 out of general funds and one of your miscellaneous
funds, is there. $10,000 that could be appropriated for that traffic
light?
CITY MANAGER MC CABE We'll find it.
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Okay.
MAYOR MORGAN: Further discussion.
CITY CLERK: Carried by unanimous vote. (Note: The Clerk had no
opportunity to read this vote into the record. It appears in the

COUNCILMAN DALLA: Could I just ask a question? If we have $70,000 that
we've just saved by not purchasing the property, what did we have in
mind for this
COUNCILMAN VAN DEVENTER: Well the problem is, is that I wanted to make
a motion that - the Girls' Club $5,000.
MAYOR MORGAN: Let's vote on this motion.
