ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
BERNARD TRAEGER, 516 E. 24th Street, representing the Veteran's ofi
Foreign Wars) was present and invited Council to Memorial Day Services,
May 29th, 2:00 p.m., Vista Cemetary,
DICK GARRETT, President, N.C. Chamber of Commerce, was present and
voiced the concern of the Chamber and community in regard to unemploy-
ment within the City, saying the Chamber believes that a combined effort
should be made by the City, Chamber, County, and Port District to
attract employers to the South Bay area; at present there is a rare
opportunity to attract a major employer, the Honda Corporation to the
area. Mr. Garrett requested appointment of a special Task Force to
prepare a comprehensive, competitive proposal for submission to th4
proper officials of Honda; no leadership has been forthcoming and some
entity must take the lead, the Chamber believes it should be the City,
but if the City isn't willing, the Chamber would assume the responsib-
ility but it must be assured the support of the City and the Port
District. Mr. Garrett stated it is their understanding that they have
60 days in which to prepare a proposal for Honda, the Chamber is ready
and willing to try to attract this employer to the City; they want and
need the Cityts leadership in this matter. Mayor Morgan stated they
support this effort 100%; Senator Mills has offered his assistance in
this regard; before the City spends money or gets deeply involved, it
should know whether or not the City will be allowed to use the`land
in that area for that purpose; there are so many laws on this part of
the bay that it's almost impossible to develop, which was the case in
trying to develop the marina. Mr. Garrett stated this area to be
developed is not the same area as that for the marina, it's the Port
District's 32 acres which surrounds the 24th Street boat ramp and would`
include the Santa Fe land west of the rail tracks. There was discussion.
Moved by Morgan, seconded by Pinson, the City and Chamber of Commerce
jointly call a meetigg of a number of people, including San Diego
Chamber of Commerce, National City Chamber of Commerce, Planning
Department of National City, Community Development Commission, Mayor,
City of San Diego, Port District, Department of Transportation, Economic
Development Corporation. Seer Mills and some representation from
the County. Vice Mayor Pinson stated the City has a great potential
that could be developed, whether Honda Corporation comes in or some
other company; if we lose Honda the City would survive; but if a package.
is put together we can present it to any employer in the world.

map that would allow the reconveyance of part of the Bonita Golf Course

illustrating the site development plan that is not a part of the parcel
map proceeding but rather demonstrates what type of action will happen
later was displayed.) City Attorney McLean stated the parcelization
map would provide for a green belt to be made\public and a central
area to be developed as the shopping center; the parcel map itself

EIR and finds that the new project so far demonstrated by the parcel
map is similar to the old project map so as to warrant the use of the
same EIR and finds that the City Council rather than the Redevelopment
A�c.ency is lead agency and finds that the old EIR constitutes the EIR
of the lead agency. Carried by unanimous vote. Moved by Camacho,
