last August; they have raised some money, but they are $1500 short and
would appreciate any assistance Council could give them. Mayor Morgan
stated $500 was budgeted for South Bay Pop Warner and could be given

Manager check to see if there is a few more hundred dollars that we

Vote.
ALFRED HLAWATSCH, 905 E. 13th Street, was present and discussed the
BUSINESS LICENSE ORDINANCE. Mr. Hlawatsch stated Assistant City
Attorney Cowett told him there was no way the new ordinance could be
interpreted as violating the confidence of attorney -client relation-
ships; but the ordinance states otherwise; he hoped something could
be done about this because otherwise he will not get a business
license; he has spoken to a number of local attorneys about it and
they basically laugh and take it as a joke; he believed the City is
making this a revenue measure and it should be a regulation measure
only. Mr. Hlawatsch inquired about licensing of separate businesses
owned by one person at one location, such as: sale of cars, leasing
of cars, auto parts., etc.,; and asked how many licenses the City
wants? 1 City Mgr.. McCabe stated there is a provision in the
ordinance that speaks to that issue and this relates to what the State
considers a business, for example a dealer who is selling new and used
cars on one lot would be described as having one license; National
City uses the same definition.

per $100 assessed valuation;" Councilman Della has recommended the

emergency paramedic medical service program at an estimated cost of
'such' and pay for such program in whole or in part by the use of
sales tax, increased property tax and other general fund sources which
are available to the City;" he prefered Councilman Dalia's wording
because the public should know there are other methods of funding this
program and we should work towards finding them; there's a committee
that will bring back to Council a breakdown on the costs, complete
research. Mayor Morgan stated the problem is if it is tied to the
sales tax and there were an energy crisis like before, and asked what
would happen? would we have to cut back somewhere else or the
paramedics? There was further discussion. Assistant City Manager
McCabe stated that to implement the program using property taxes;
would add 23.2 cents to the tax rate. Moved by Morgan, seconded

THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION OF NATIONAL CITY was called
to
order at this time. Roll call: Present:. Camacho, Dalla, Van Deventer,
Reid, Morgan. Absent: None.
JOINT HEARING before the CITY COUNCIL and the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION on the REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE RELOCATION PROGRAM FOR
AMENDMENT NO. II, E. J. CHRISTMAN BUSINESS & INDUSTRIAL PARK RE-
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT was held at this time. ARNOLD PETERSON, Executive
Director, CDC, was present to review the report and describe the plan
for the project. Mr. Peterson displayed a map outlining the proposed
plan which adds the area from 16th Street to 22nd and 24th Streets and
from National Avenue to Interstate Highway 5 and adds southerly of
29th Street, bothcsides of National, to 32nd Street including a vacant
area extending over to Hoover/Coolidge Avenue; the area to the north
would be an improvement area; the object of the plan is for the CDC
to be instrumental in the improvement of public facilities and utilities
in the area and also to assist private property owners in the rehabili-
tation of commercial and industrial buildings; the plan specifically
precludes the acquisition by condemnation of area 2a on the map.
Mr. Peterson stated in area 2b on the map they propose to extend to
the south, the Mile of Cars; at 31st Street on the southeast side
there is an option to buy from the county approximately 1 block; they
propose to buy other private property if necessary by condemnation;
structural inspections of each and every structure has been made
within areas 2a and 2b and that information is available. Mr.
Peterson stated they have an analysis by Christiansen Engineering
of the Public Work defficiencies in the areas 2a and 2b. Mr. Peterson
stated they intend a3different type of project from E. J. Christman
Area I, which was a total acquisition, total relocation, total
clearance and total reconstruction project; the new project will be
mainly rehabilitation and public works improvements and a limited
acquisition. Mr. Peterson identified by title each of the parts of
the report and briefly commented on each. (On file in the City
Clerk's office as Document # 60657).' Mr. Peterson continued in the
list of Exhibits in the report is the Redevelopment Plan; Part 1
is the existing E. J. Christman Project Plan; Part 2 is the amendment
to the plan and the area proposed to be added by ordinance; Part 1
is in the report because Part 2 makes constant refererence to it; and
upon approval, they would become one project and one plan. Mr.
Peterson stated the program for the relocation (of businesses of which
there are five and one family) is under b, Relocation Program; if the
ordinance is approved, Council would also be approving this relocation
program. Mr. Peterson said the Planning Commission approved the pre-
liminary plan for the project on June 13; it is marked Exhibit C in
the report; Exhibit B is the report and recommendation of the Planning
Commission on this Redevelopment Plan; the Planning Commission on
November 14th unanimously approved and recommended to Council and the
CDC this plan; Exhibit E is the cost estimate and states they have
in mind to acquire that property south of 30th Street and relocate
those businesses and that family, the probable cost is one million
dollars; they have in mind to resell for automobile sales (primarily
new) that land which they acquire, the probable ressale proceeds
would be $400,000.00; they have in mind to make public works improve-
ments both in areas 2a and 2b, but primarily in area 2a, including
streets, alleys, curbs and gutters and sidewalks, lights, street
trees, at an estimated cost, $3,432,000.00; they have in mind to
assist private property owners through any and all legal means, and
any and all financial ways, and any combinations of these to re-
habilitate property within the area, the estimate of that is
$3,568,000.00; lastly, to administer this project over the life of the
project, $400,000; for a total of $8,000,000.00. Mr. Peterson stated
they say in the plan (because the law so requires) that they would not
bond this project total, including the $5,600,000 that has already been
bonded on Christman, they would not bond on this project more than
$8,000,000,00; by law they have to state the maximum amount of taxes
12/6/77
3B >6
that they would allocate to themselves,(the increased tax revenues)
that figure is $20,000,000.00; this is the best estimate of what it
would cost to retire a series of bond issues over a period of years,
the total of the series being $8,000,000; they could not exceed that
amount of either the allocation of taxes or the bonded indebtedness
without an amendment to this plan. Mr. Peterson said the laws in
1976 were changed to require that with respect to the allocation of
taxes in added areas 2a and 2b, that not less than 20% of the tax
increment derived from those areas must be utilized for low and
moderate income housing purposes in the community, unless they are
prepared to make a showing that such is not needed (and in his opinion,
even though they are doing many things in the housing field, they could
not make that showing); the 20% feature applies not to the total
8 million, but only to that portion of the 8 million that relates to
areas 2a and 2b; the bulk of the tax revenue generated within this total
area will be as in the past out of area 1; therefore, if you were to
estimate how much that 20% would amount to, of the 8 million maybe
a million and, therefore, the 20% over the life of the plan would be
maybe $200,000. Mr. Peterson stated the CDC adopted certain design
standards on July 19th; these are Exhibit F of the report; they also
adopted certain policies on owner -participation and re-entry of
business as of July 5th, 1977; as to the survey area (the area within
which the project occurs) the City Council on May 3, 1977 adopted an
amended survey area which is the perim,ter of the area which is
Exhibit H in the project summary and report. Mr. Peterson stated
reference is made to sections of the law and evidence to substantiate
blight; the most important evidence of blight in areas 2a and 2b
is that portion of the EIR report that shows the area of flooding
in the hundred year storm to be large portions of area 2a and of area
2b; they don't rely on that as being the blight, but that is the
greatest single contributing factor; there is structural blight;
there is evidence of deficiencies of public improvements within the
area; the combination of these are the reason for the project and
evidence of blight. Mr. Peterson stated the County of San Diego this
year, because of changes in the law last year and because the Board
of Supervisors so chose, initiated what they called their Fiscal
Review Committee; there have been many meetings and many papers and
in the report there are each and every one of those. Mr. Peterson
stated he does not recommend any of the recommendations of the County
Fiscal Review Committee except that after January 1 the law will
require that the CDC reimburse the County for their expense in doing
fiscal analyses; the County has done a lot of work; and he recommended
the CDC reimburse the County for their costs, estimated to be $5,000.
Mr. Peterson stated relative to the other recommendations of the
County Fiscal Review Committee (that's the County and all the tax
entities,) he would recommend the City do not do any of the things
recommended in their report. Mr. Peterson said the Environmental
Impact Report prepared by Multi -Systems Associates was approved by
the CDC and was found adequate and sufficient; they ask that Council
take awareness of the report which says the problems are flooding
(which is the number one reason why they have the Amendment); another
problem is the moving of earth, about 80,000 cubic yards; they will
do all the things to minimize an adverse effect of moving the earth,
but move the earth they must. Councilman Dalla asked what the life
of the program would be. Mr. Peterson stated the life of this program
is 28 years; this plan proposes to be carried out solely and exclusive)
from the increased property taxes y
generated from the project itself;
this plan says that the City of National City may, if it wishes,
assist financially in the project, but no burdens are put on the City.
Councilman Dalla asked where the City would get the million dollars to
buy the property south of 30th Street; Mr. Peterson stated they will
in the late spring be in position to sell Series B Tax Allocation
Bonds, E. J. Christman Project. GARY WEATHERS, owner, Weathers'
Motors, 30th and National, was present and asked if it is required
for them to be able to proceed with area 2b, that they have to issue
12/6/77
`,�7
the bonds first? Mayor Morgan stated they would be sold sometime
before July and the City would have the money to go ahead at that
time. Mr. Weathers asked when this would transpire? Mayor Morgan
stated that if this is passed tonight they would go ahead and
authorize appraisals and authorize, when the time comes, to sell the
bonds and by that time everything would be ready to go. Mr. Weathers
stated he's trying to determine how long he'll be able to continue
to do business at this location. Mr.
Weathers wanted to stay there longer thane mid-July,rson thd ey
if Mr.
out a lease arrangement where they couldgo t r couldadwork
year to year, and he can
say that because they don't have in hand a new car dealership for
that corner; it's always been their attitude that they will try to
work out something that is mutually beheficial. Mr. Weathers stated
back in 1972 he put in improvements on the property and as a result
of that he got an extended lease on the property, this negates that,
he could be out in less than a year. City Attorney McLean stated
there would be relocation benefits available and the tenant does have
certain rights under the redevelopment plan for assistance in reloca-
tion and continue to do business; as to what the tenant may have
coming, because he has a lease on the property, is not the City's
business. Mr. Weathers questioned whether it would be possible for an
independent dealer to be included in the redevelopment area.
Mr. Peterson stated it would. FLOYD BRIDGES, 3110 National Avenue,
owner or a portion of a business within the redevelopment area, was
present and stated he has no objections to the redevelopment of the
area, in fact, highly recommends it; however, his main concern is
that he doesn't believe he will be able to be relocated in the area
and asked what happens to his inventory? Mr.
stays there until this time nexty Bridges stated if he
left, there will be no way of disposingofall loftit. ill have Peny
stated as far as inventoryPettersoerson
goes, they do not buy that; under State
and Federal Law there is a relocation aspect; but they don't buy the
inventory, the owner would have to dispose of it ultimately as part
of either going out of business or moving. City Attorney McLean
stated if Mr. Bridges came to the CDC during work hours they would
be able to explain to him exactly what is going to happen and how
it would reflect on his business. No one else spoke in this regard., Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the hearing be closed and the
Community Development Commission on Redevelopment and Relocation
program and that the plan be approved and we accept Mr. Peterson's
recommendations. which include (1) certify that it has considered the
