O. Box 488 San Diego, California 92112 Re: Todd's Shipyards and Policy ►►In my seventeen years of serving National City, I have never criticized the Port Commissioners because we had an understanding between the cities that when anything was located in different cities the local government of that city's wishes would be considered, e.g. when the Sheraton Hotel, Embarcadero, and Harbor Island went in San Diego, we would not object. Our Commissioner and Council wished you well. We did not have our Congressman, Senator, or Governor involved. We do not ask, but demand the same respect. That is what it is all about. The Port District was not set up by the general public just for San Diego. Mr. Creaser and especially Mrs. O'Connor cost the community millions of dollars playing politics instead of being a Port Commissioner and your last comments in the newspaper saying you were not against Todd's Shipyards and Mr. Creaser's change of heart on his vote about the general concept. His feelings of anti_ business after Todd's left will not change the opinion of all the South Bay people, including many in San Diego because they watched your performance before and after. "The public cannot afford many decisions like the last one and I am hoping you will get back to the original policy and respect the wishes of local government when it involves their city." "Respectfully ►►(s) George H. Waters" Councilman Van Deventer called attention to a seminar on Traffic Safety Grant Program (fuel consumption at traffic signals, etc.) on September 24 in Santa Ana, Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Camacho, a re resentative from Public Works be authorized to attend this seminar.
