Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Camacho, Resolution No. 13,063 be adopted. Carried by unanimous vote. Resolution No. 13,064, "RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT FOR ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF NATIONAL CITY NUTRITION PROJECT (7/1/79 to 6/31/80)." Moved by Waters, seconded by Van Deventer, Resolution No. 13,064 be adopted. Councilman Van Deventer asked for a breakdown of the $15,000 used in this program and what it would be used for. ARNOLD PETERSON, Director, CDC, was present and stated the ten- tative budget shows the $15,000 would be used for the purchase of raw food and certain utilities expenses; he has asked the City, separately, for $20,000 under the General Revenue Sharing; the reason for that is to increase the portion of purchase of raw food; the problem is that the program addressed Morgan Towers, which will have 170 residents all of low-income and talks in terms of 100 meals; this is too low, if CDC can receive the additional $20,000 they have a chance of serving all those residents of Morgan Towers who want to eat there. Councilman Van Deventer stated he wants the $15,000 broken down in costs. Mr. Peterson stated the $15,000 does not include any salaries or additional staff. Councilman Van Deventer stated he understands this additional food will be used in conjunction with the Girl's Club, St. Anthony's and Morgan Towers; this will be an on -going item every year. Mr. Peterson stated he hopes not, he doesn't know the answer. Mr. Peterson stated their original assumption was to have a mandatory meals program for whoever lived in Morgan Towers and the people knew that when they went in; they would pay actual costs of the operation; now they know who is going to live there and the income levels and all the people are low income people; it would be a great burden for them to pay 1/4th of their gross monthly income for rent which they must and to, in addition, pay the actual cost of meals; there is no obligation to provide meals to these people, but the Area Office on Aging Programs goes a long way toward funding the costs of each and every meal; this program becomes voluntary and affordable and a very desirable thing to do. Mr. Peterson stated the $15,000 would add to the quantity of food available, not quality. Councilman Van Deventer asked to see a copy of the proposed budget before the vote is taken. Mr. Peterson stated he would go to his office to get the budget. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Dalla, this be tabled for now. Carried by unanimous vote. Resolution No. 13,065, "RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA AUTHORIZING A BALLOT PROPOSITION FOR CONSTRUCTIOI OF SUBSIDIZED HOUSING FOR FAMILIES OF LOW AND MODERATE INCOME." Moved by Camacho, seconded by Morgan, Resolution No. 13,065 be adopted. Under discussion, Councilman Van Deventer asked if the sites for the housing would be determined before the measure goes on the ballot; unless you tell the citizens where this is going to be, you may be leading them down the prim rose path; the citizens should know ahead of time of the area to be used. Moved by Van Deventer, seconded by Camacho, this motion be tabled for a moment. Carried by unanimous vote. Mayor Morgan suggested going to the Public Hearings to allow time for Mr. Peterson to return to the Chambers. PUBLIC HEARINGS The continued HEARING on proposed zone change to rezone from RS-2 (single family residence) to CG-PD (commercial general -planned development) the vacant parcel adjoining the north side of the National Guard Armory at 303 Palm Avenue, ZC-28-78 (the Planning Commission recommended denial of the proposed zone change) was held at this time.

This Resolution had been introduced previously. City Attorney McLean stated the question to Mr. Peterson was whether or not the proposed sites for this housing would be identified prior to the election. Mr. Peterson stated that is a policy question, whether Council would want to pre- determine site location or not; if indeed such housing were approved that it be filled on at least more than one site; or it could be built on quite a large number of sites. Councilman Van Deventer stated there is concern about that many single family dwellings in National City and to identify the areas in which they are to go in; more study should be done on this.
