ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
LEO MULTAZ, 201 Highland Avenue, National City, was present and
said the San Diego Gas & Electric has an alternate meter reading
program in his area; they are not taking readings on a monthly
basis, whereas in other areas of San Diego they are. Mr. Multaz
said the residents of the Westby Apartments where he lives have
no way of knowing what their exact monthly billing is; and they
don't know what to turn off and how to economize on their electric
bill; a lot of questions have been raised because of this since
they use nothing but electricity in their apartments; their bills
have tripled in the last few months and their use of electricity
has jumped since they have begun estimating the usage. Mr. Multaz
said he has support from Senator Mills, the Mayor, Supervisor Jack
Walsh; they are trying to get San Diego Gas & Electric to lead
their meters as anybody else's in the City; they are paying for
this service and they are not getting it; they are being charged
$1,86 for this service, this includes the meter and a man to
read it; right now they are not coming out to read them even on
request, yet they are still paying for these charges; no one had
been informed that this pilot program was going into effect; they
have been in touch with the Public Utilities Commission and
they said they did not have to publicize it; if this program works
in this tiny section of National City, SDG&E will make it county-
wide; there is no document on record stating that this law has
been passed that the PUC has okayed this particular pilot program.
Mr. Multaz said that electricity is a necessity for him and the
people in his apartment complex and yet they can't get an accurate
meter reading; the only record of this is in San Francisco; he
asked the Council if any of them knew of a record kept in the City
on this program. Mayor Morgan stated that what the SDG&E is
trying to do -- but they started in the wrong place, they should
have started in a more affluent area, rather than an area where
people are on fixed incomes, but what PUC wants them to do is
set up a pilot program where they could decide whether they would
go county -wide, because the gas and electric bills is going to
1/20/76
2
go up and if they can set it and do it on an estimated monthly
basis, every other month, it will save money, and that's the only
reason PUC went along with it -- but they started in the wrong
place... There was discussion. Moved by Pinson, seconded by
Dana, write a letter of protest to the Public Utilities Commission
with a copy to San Diego Gas & Electric, opposing this. Carried
by unaimous vote.
IDA MAE EERR, Bicentennial Chairman, was present and informed the
Council that the City's first fire plug was painted by the Senior
Citizens today; it is located across the street from the Library,
on the corner of 12th and C. In answer to the question if all
the fire hydrants will be painted, Mrs. Kerr said George Webster
had accepted chairmanship of this committee and he is working on
it, and more will be painted but she didn't know exactly how
many. Mrs. Kerr reminded Council that Tuesday the Armed Forces
Bicentennial Caravan will be in the City.
MR. LEO MULTAZ addressed the Council again saying that one other
thing they were not able to find out from SDG&E was that if they
pay their bill right now, on time, they will not tell us what is
happening to the interest on that money; there is no one who will
say one word about it. Mayor Morgan stated that Mr. Multaz is
bringing suit against SDG&E and that would be a question to put
before a judge and let him pass on it. Mr. Multaz said he want-
ed this to be a matter of record. He thanked the Council.
VIC DEFORREST, 3514 Fair Lomas Rd., National City was present and
congratulated Vice Mayor Dalla on the fine brochure that can be
found in the lobby.
PUBLIC HEARING
The HEARING on the SECOND -YEAR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
APPLICATION was held at this time, City Clerk Campbell said the
Certificate of Publication was on file. Arnold Peterson,
Executive Director, Community Development Commission, was present
and stated that this was the second of two public hearings that
are required for the second year community development block grant
program, the hearing is required under the federal register. Mr.
Peterson displayed Center City Project "Illustrative Site Plan"
(Exihibit 4) and said any organizations or individuals present
might address the subject of community development needs, or
housing needs in the City; one such communication had arrived that
afternoon from the MAAC Project and copies had been distributed
to Council. Mr. Peterson said the City is eligible for $841,000
each year for three years, this being the second of those three
years, and in the last two years, the fourth and fifth, $841,000
divided two-thirds, one-third between the fourth and the fifth
year, the total amount being approximately $3,364,000. Mr.
Peterson continued they have met on a monthly basis for the last
fourteen months and presented progress reports and plans to date
so there is an official entity in National City that does review
the progress of these plans. Mr. Peterson spoke in regard to the
Site Plan saying it was proposed that the Community Development
Block Grant funds would be used in connection with a project,
proposed to be called by that name; in addition to the area shown
on the drawing, it was proposed that some of this money would
go into a home improvement loan fund on the west side, meaning
9th Street to 1-5 and southerly along 1-5 on the west and National
on the east to 22nd Street; so that the use of funds would extend
beyond the area shown on the drawing. Mr. Peterson pointed out on
the drawing the plans proposed for the area: approximately three
City blocks of City -owned land (a portion of the three blocks not
being City -owned but land that will be acquired by the Community
Development Commission from private owners) to construct 150 units
of seniors housing, just to the east of the Boys Club, that site
because it's high and dry and doesn't need grading or drainage
work in order to build; the money for this housing would come from,
hopefully, the California State Houding Finance Agency, if not,
(they have applied) then from private sources with Federal
Mortgage Insurance, and then if not -- they would have to generate
their own local funding source; in the future they may build 150
more units, these buildings being 75 feet high maximum;
4
1/20114 . ,
westerly of that between the building and the park in lower
elevation, one-two story housing for the elderly; to acquire
from Wards, two blocks west of Ward's existing building, land that
is now vacant, and to reduce the price of that land to a private
developer to build housing (that housing could be in form of
multiple family, rental units, condominium ownership -type units,
the form not being determined at this point); to acquire from
private owners property for further single family housing; along
A Avenue, north of 12th Street to acquire the property on both
sides of A Avenue to llth,to clear both sides and put public
parking facilities, somewhere between 75 and 100 parking spaces
for Civic Center use and Community Building and Library use, a
portion of the site on the west of A Avenue could be used for
office use, small building; the land on the east side could be
used for multiple family residential, or condominium housing; to
improve the street, A Avenue, to 8th Street and to make a street
treatment that would be very attractive to pedestrians and yet
more vehicles could get through 9th and llth Streets, they are
considering closing entirely to vehicles between llth and 12th
Streets and making an attractive pedestrian treatment; they
propose that Brickrow be restored through a Grant to the owners
under an Owner Participation Agreement for this purpose, this
would be as to the exterior restoration only; they propose across
from Brickrow, on the east side of A Avenue, between 9th and 10th,
to acquire the half block and relocate families within that area
so that they could use that as the site for the relocation of
buildings within the community of historic value; in effect create
a Heritage Square; the intention is by the pedestrian treatment
and vehicular treatment, and improvement of the area, to make a
tie through the park over to the South Bay Shopping facilities; to
extend the roadway from 12th Street to 14th to make a tie and to
close the street interior to the senior's housing complex so that
the seniors could get from one area to another without crossing a
street; the remainder of the area between 9th and 16th, westerly
of Highland and National, is in the proposed area wherein owner -
occupants of homes could, if they applied and were approved by
a lending institution, obtain money for home improvement at a rate
of less than 4%; the program of home improvement, within the area,
the housing production, limited office and parking, limited hous-
Ing in connection with historical treatment is what they have in
mind; to the extent that the Redevelopment Commission and City
Council after a public hearing approve, if they could assist in
the financing of park improvement and drainage improvements
in the park, in his opinion they should certainly assist in such
improvements that they create a demand for by reason of the seniors
housing facilities; Council may at that time not want to do more
than that, but they should consider and take care of the recreation
needs of the seniors and pay for them out of the Block Grant
Program. Mr. Peterson said that on the west side it is not a
project, it is a home improvement loan assistance area only. Mr.
Peterson said they have six alternative (drainage) treatments
and cost estimates for the matter of drainage, and haven't yet
selected one; they are thinking of going under the ground with the
drainage structure and bringing it out to where it now is; they
will probably have to widen and deepen the channel down to National
Avenue. In answer to a question regarding the place next to Wards
where they are proposing multiple units and whether or not they
could put single units in there, Mr. Peterson said they could. Mr.
Peterson said the Community Development Commission is before the
City's Planning Commission on certain general planning matters;
we're asking the Commission to change the General Plan to reflect
the implications of this plan; how that will come out is not
known now, they are making the request and the Commission's
recommendation after advertising will come to the Council; they w
will at that time have a look at the density and use at that time.
RAYMOND SHAFFER, 1724 Coolidge Avenue, directed a question
regarding the west side area, the home loans they are talking
about; that area generally is a M-2 area at least many parts of it,
it is residential, if loans are given for homes in that area how
would they be approved with the zoning, for example, if someone
had a single family residence and wanted to add on a room, which
would be outside, that would be not in conformity with zoning.
1/20/76
Mayor Morgan said they have in the Ordinance now if they want to
add a room on, or redo the bath or kitchen, they can do that in
that area; if they w nt out now and got the money to do that
without the help of the Block Grant they would have to pay from
between 5 and 24%, they have arranged if the homeowner wants to
add a room, etc., they can get a loan at less than 4%. Mr.
Shaffer asked about the person who wanted to add a mother -in --law
unit, a living unit that would be independent from the residence
itself. Mayor Morgan said that with the help they will be getting
from the Block Grant they can do exactly what they are allowed
to do now, if they want to update their home, spend up to
$10,000 they can do that. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid,
the hearing be closed. Carried by unanimous vote.

Vincetta Drive, La Mesa, was present and said that he had driven
a taxicab in New York City for 20 years, and has three commenda-
tions for public service; he used to be a policeman in Italy; due
to crime in New York, etc., he would like to move to California;
he said he feels he can prove to the Council the need for his
service in National City; at this time he owns one permit to allow
him to serve the county, he has been trying for seven months to
get a license for San Diego City, and has not been successful;
he is now established in Lemon Grove and is trying to serve the
people in Sunnyside, Casa de Oro up to National City; but due to
the fact that there are many people going to National City and
Chula Vista from the other areas, it is essential to my survival
to have a license to pick them up in National City; also many
people go out to the base and go through National City and return
to the naval base; he also has been stopped by people in the
City hailing his cab and he has been unable to pick them up due
to the fact he doesn't have a license. There was further discussion.
Motion to deny and the second were withdrawn. Mayor Morgan second-
ed Councilman Reid's motion to set a public hearing. Mayor Morgan
explained to Mr. Di Marco that this does not necessarily give
him a permit; it will open the question up to be debated by the

Bourcier said he would send Mr. Di Marco a copy of the Ordinance
and explain to him what he must do. Motion carried by unanimous
vote.
1/20/76
An APPEAL AND REQUEST FOR WAIVER in connection with the Planning
Commission's determination on conversion of residential
structure to office use at 1136 "A" Avenue, C-3-C Commercial Zone
was presented. ARNOLD PETERSON, Executive Director of the
Community Development Commission was present and said that he has
prepared a memo that describes the situation and the grounds for
the waiver and the request for appeal; we request that Council
not require the condition under the building code for this
temporary use, and that you not require the demolition of the
garage on the back of the property at 1136 "A" Ave., owing to the
fact that the City doesn't own it; and we do propose to acquire
the property and would demolish all of the improvements on that
half -block as part of the proposed project; it is therefore felt
to expend funds to bring that structure and those premises into
conformity with Code would be a waste of public funds. Moved by
Morgan, seconded by Camacho, this request be approved. There was
discussion in regard to taking the garage down and Mr. Peterson
agreed to return to the Council if he gets permission from the
owner to tear down the garage. Carried by the following vote,
to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Pinson, Reid, Morgan. Nays: Dalla.
The City Clerks report on opening of bids for the SNACK BAR AT
LAS PALMAS PARK, Specification No. 847, (two bids were received,
R.W. Kurtz Construction, $24,500.00; Lazos Construction Company,
$22,516.00) and the Public Works Directors recommendation they
be rejected were presented. Moved by Pinson, seconded by Camacho,
all bids be rejected and they readvertise for bids. There was
discussion. Public Works Director Hoffland stated that at the
inception of this it was anticipated that there would be a donation
of work and so forth; the bids were much higher than anticipated,
and they are going to try to redesign the project to try to come
within budgeted funds; but at this point in time it looks very
pessimistic. There was further discussion. Mr. Hoffland said
he understands the head of the swim team does have a contractor's
license but he has not volunteered any services to date. City
Manager Bourcier said they will contact the Swim Club. Carried
by unanimous vote.
The recommendation by Director of Public Works that approval be
given for construction of DRIVEWAY ADJACENT TO PROPERTY LINE at
1827 Cleveland Avenue was presented. Moved by Pinson, seconded
by Reid, in favor of the Director's recommendation. Carried by
unanimous vote.
A recommendation by the Director of Public Works to approve
ENCROACHMENT OF A 3 FOOT FENCE in 8th Street at 1539 E. 8th Street,
(7-11 Food Store), was presented. Moved by Reid, seconded by
Camacho, the Director's recommendation be approved. Carried by
unanimous vote.
A request for off -premise sign for "MILE OF CARS" to be adjacent
to 1-805 Freeway was presented. Mayor Morgan said this item had
been discussed in conference and he feels we should indicate we
have approved this because the State will hesitate if Council
does not issue their approval. Moved by Reid, seconded by Camacho,
we go ahead with any Ordinance change, or anythin9 to permit this,
if the State will approve of it. VIC DE FORREST, said the MILE
OF CARS needs the sign out there and the City needs a sign too;
some research has been done by the Chamber Committee and they
have found it's very difficult to get a permit from the State;
there aren't very many locations out there; he could not now offer
any definite proposal or anything as fax as the Chamber is
concerned regarding a sign. Mayor Morgan asked if they would
work with the MILE OF CARS and see if something could be worked
out between the two. Mr. De Forrest said the Chamber has no
opposition to the MILE OF CARS having sign out there, but maybe
they can be put together. Mr. De Forrest said it takes political
pressure to get a sign near a freeway. DICK ALLEN, 7863 Hollywood
Avenue, La Mesa, a member of the MILE OF CARS, was present and
said he didn't have a copy of the sign with him; it is primarily
a National City sign; although it directs people to the MILE OF
1/20/76
CARS, there's very little commercialism to the sign; their
problem is that this was a Union Oil Station sign that had been
converted and will meet all the Codes, but they do not have a
lot of room to redesign the sign. Mr. Allen said the sign would
be 40-50 ft. high depending on how the overpass would hide the
sign; redesigning the sign (and this cost would be incurred by the
dealers on the MILE OF CARS) would be around $13,000.00, but they
wanted to modify it slightly on a V so they could catch a better
view; but the cost of that would have jumped $10,000; so they
are limited if they take advantage of this sign, limited to
what they can do with it other than the space that's allocated
on there; they do not want to take anything from the Chamber of
Commerce. There was discussion. Carried by the following vote,
to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Pinson, Reid, Morgan. Nays: Dalla.
A type 20, OFF -SALE BEER AND WINE LICENSE APPLICATION for the
7-Eleven Store, 807 E. 8th Street was presented. Moved by
Camacho, seconded by Pinson, this be approved. Carried by the
following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Dalla, Pinson, Reid.
Nays: None. Abstain: Morgan.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS
COUNCILMAN PINSON said regarding the Kimball Community Building,
there is Block Grant money that can be used for improvements in
the park and community center, he would like to see the Community
Building carpeted; there is removable carpet which can be put down
in a matter of minutes and removed; at the present time there is
nothing in National City where you can have a function large
enough to accommodate something like a Chamber dinner, or a big
affair; if we could carpet that, and put some drapes in it and
drop the sounds down to where it would be audible and at a
reasonable price; we would do this when we do the air conditioning
there; also, we need to take care of those windows over there,
when we put the air conditioning in we did not have the windows
over there, when we put the air conditioning in we did not have
the windows included, and we need to get started on this right
away. Moved by Pinson, seconded by Camacho, Mr. Arnold Peterson
be authorized to study what it would cost us to carpet that. There
was discussion. Carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes:
Camacho, Dalla, Pinson, Reid. Nays: Morgan.
MAYOR MORGAN said that he had sent a letter to the Council regard-
ing BUS ROUTE 12 within the City; we have a senior high rise there
on Plaza Blvd., and what he's proposing is that on a trial basis
they authorize the bus to go out 8th Street, up in back of
Paradise Hills, down Manchester but come back down Plaza Blvd. in
front of the 7 story high rise; because in this high rise they
have a 152 families living there and they are mostly senior
citizens and some in wheel chairs and they don't have a bus stop
in front. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Camacho, we authorize
the Manager to work with the Transit to put a stop in there. There
was discussion. Carried by unanimous vote.
Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the meeting be closed. Carried
by unanimous vote. The meeting closed at 9:11 p.m.
