PUBLIC ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
FRED PUHN, 425 Shell Avenue was present and said he hated to come here
to complain; what he needed was enforcement of City regulations; as a
result of the development of Shell Manor, three things could damage his
property: 1. when they put in Shell Ave., they destroyed the berm so the
water channeled down 4th St. comes across his property and will wipe out
both of his driveway entrances to the street; 2. the land adjacent to his
is owned by the developer and is over -grown with weeds, a fire hazard;
3. when they put in Shell Ave., they modified Shell Ave. to suit them-
selves and cut away the driveway of the adjacent property and the tenants
there have to cut across his (the Puhn's) property to get to the street,
it has been that way for over a month. Mr. Puhn continued he had talked
to Mr. Gerschler and Mr. Stracker about it and they said they would
contact the developer; he has heard nothing; he would like to have a
grader come in there. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Van Deventer, staff
be authorized to see this is made safe. Carried by unanimous vote.

OLD BUSINESS
NATIONAL CITY RODEO ASSOCIATION'S request to hold a rodeo in El Toyon
Park on October 3-5, 1980 (Staff recommendation: That this application be
denied due to the concerns expressed by the Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment, Public Works Department and the Chief of Police) was presented.
Vice Mayor Waters said he had quite a few phone calls from Pop Warner to
the effect that if the City gave the use of the park for a rodeo, there
would be no football this year; the Rodeo Association should get with the
Park Dept. sometime between December and March; they ought to look over
the schedule and find a time that will not interfere with anything.
Councilman Van Deventer addressed Park Supervisor Miyoshi who was present,
asking if Pop Warner football could be transferred to another park during
the period the Rodeo Assn. might be using El Toyon Park. Mr. Miyoshi
replied they would have to move the goal posts, crowd control fencing, and
bleachers, there would be a problem with parking. Councilman Van Deventer,
inquired about the use of Las Palmas Park. Park Supervisor Miyoshi said
they have Girls' Softball. JAY LUDLOW, Vice Pres., Spurs and Saddle
Assn., was present and said the rodeo had been held for five years in
Kimball Park; the last three years there was no rodeo; this looks like it
might be it; he would like to see a rodeo in the City. Vice Mayor Waters
said he had nothing personal against the rodeo; he was one of their first
members; but now they are remodeling Kimball Park; the rodeo would have
to be scheduled so as not to interfere with scheduled events; it is a
public park and everyone is entitled to use it. Mayor Morgan said he had
looked at the whole thing carefully and it looked to him as though the
rodeo will not fit in there because of damage that it would do to the
park. ED DEBACA, 5916 Lauder St., San Diego, Pop Warner Football, was
present and said Pop Warner runs from August through December 1; so far as
moving them, it is not feasible or justified. Mr. DeBaca spoke of their
concession shack which is permanent and could not be moved. Mr. DeBaca
gave a protest petition against the use of El Toyon Park by the Rodeo,
signed by 79 persons living in the vicinity of El Toyon Park, to the City
Clerk. Mayor Morgan asked Mr. Ludlow if there was any possibility of
holding the rodeo some place in Spring Valley. Assistant City Manager
Ballard reported a member of the Optimist Club telephoned him and offered
the use of Optimist controlled property in Bonita for the rodeo and
suggested Mr. Ludlow get in touch with him. BOB COOPER, NCPD, Member of
the Board Spurs and Saddles, was present and spoke in favor of holding

recommendation. Died for lack of second. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded
by Waters, the City Manager's office meet with representatives of the
rodeo association and the gentlemen from the Optimist Club and take a
week to do that. Carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Camacho.
