ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
MORGAN GILMAN, 5328 Bragg St„ San Diego, was present and said he
appeared before Council several months ago regarding a single-family
lot subdivision on property on Sweetwater Road known as the Kantor
property; they had proposed a single-family subdivision for about 45
lots with 50' frontage; they were about 5,000 sq. ft. lots; the
Council's reaction to the lots was negative and the Council turned the
map down; in subsequent discussion, it seemed to be the Council's
feeling that in that particular location a larger allowance would be
desirable, Mr. Gilman said he wanted the reaction of the Council to
65' lots on that property; the lots would be a minimum of 6,500 sq. ft.
and probably range in between 6,500 and 8,000 sq. ft. lots for a total
of 23-25 lots, a little over 3 to the acre; on cul-de-sacs there would
be a minimum of 45' frontage, but those would be very large lots,
probably some of them over 10,000 sq. ft.; the minimum on those not on
the cul-de-sacs would be 65' frontage; the minimum lot size would be
65' x 100'. Mr. Gilman said they do not have a plan, ...it was the
feeling that before they spent money for and submitted a new plan it
would be best for them to get the reaction to a 65' minimum lot front-
age; Mayor Morgan recommended coming back to Council; these would be
detached single-family; there will be nothing attached; the houses
will probably be priced between $45,000 and $50,000. There was dis-
cussion. The Mayor expressed an interest in condominiums for the site
and asked if Mr. Gilman still had the plans showing 44 units. The
Mayor also stated Council's desire to see the project concept on paper,
not final plans but a general layout showing roads, etc.
BERTHA JUAREZ, 1414 Earl Dr., was present and said she has a Girls'
Softball Team and they need uniforms; she would like a no -fee permit
to sell tamales in Kimball Park on Sundays, the funds to pay for the
uniforms. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Morgan, we allow Mrs, Juarez
to have the no -charge permit to sell her tamales at Kimball Park on
four Sundays. Mrs, Juarez stated they needed about $200, she has 15
girls on her roster. Carried by unanimous vote. 10/7/75

The PETITION for crosswalks, school signs and speed signs at 24 St.
and Euclid Ave., and a 4-way stop at Euclid Ave. and Ridgeway Dr. was
presented. City Manager Bourcier said since receiving the petition,
the City has installed a crosswalk at the intersection of 24 St. and
Euclid Ave. and has received permission from the County to install the
necessary school "speed zone" signs and school markings; in addition,
the problem of the intersection of Ridgeway Dr. and Euclid Ave. has
been referred to the Traffic Department of the County. It was asked
if the problem at 22nd St. (where the steps go down into the school)
would be taken care of. City Manager Bourcier said it wasn't planned
to put a crosswalk at 22nd and Euclid; they checked with Officer
Jacquot and he recommended 24th as the best place. Moved by Reid,
seconded by Pinson., 22nd and 24th there be a crosswalk and bring it
back after the Traffic Safety has had it. Vice Mayor Dalla asked if
that had been taken care of already. City Engineer Hoffland said about
a month ago they received a request for a study on Euclid and it is on
the Traffic Safety Committee agenda for tomorrow. There was discussion.

1703 East 11 St., was present and said this goes along with Item 14
and Council has the petition in front of them; of the 27 homes in the
area where petition signatures were solicited, 23 signatures were
received; the people in the area do not feel that that type of a
liquor license should be allowed in that general area; most of the
wishes of the people were not granted by putting in that type of
restaurant to begin with; as long as they have it they would not like
to see that form of luquor license allowed in that general area; they
have nothing against liquor licenses, but for Police protection, for
safety (that corner is a very bad corner and he is sure the safety
council knows the record of the accidents on that corner); he was here
about a month ago about the area of 12 St.; you can't come out of 12
St. and make a left turn; beer and wine is one thing; he is sure liquor
is going to create much more dangerous atmosphere in the area and the
residents in the area would appreciate it very much if Council would
vote against this. There was discussion about the intersection area,
and the difference between the clientele of a beer and wine establish-
ment and a general liquor license (cocktail) establishment with

and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred J. Hlawatsch. There was further discussion.
JUAN HIDALGO, 1629 East 11 St., was present and said he lives in the
area just as the others that signed the petition do; they feel very
strongly that there shouldn't be another problem if it can be stopped
before it is started. There was further discussion in reference to
10/7/75

COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS
COUNCILMAN PINSON spoke about Civil Service Rules and closed exams
saying if a person that is going to take the exam is sharp enough, is
on the ball enough, that he should be able to compete with anyone; he
doesn't care if he comes from Miami Beach or Washington, he still
should be able to compete because we are still serving the people of
National City and we should have the best; if he can't cut the mustard
and be the best, then he shouldn't get the job, especially one that is
going to be in a supervisory capacity; we should go out and open this
up to everyone that wants to compete for this job; it is not right to
close this; to him it is a spoils system; we have heard that word
before...that when we have been accused of the spoils system; that to
him is the spoils system when you close an exam to a select few people;
as long as he is here he is going to object to any closed exam as long
as we are going to hire a new person into this City.
COUNCILMAN PINSON said down by the nursery on Plaza Blvd. there is a
Goodwill receptacle where you can put your good stuff; the Goodwill
comes by and picks it up; people have gotten into the habit of smoking
in bed and burning their matress and that's the best place in the world
to dump the burned mattress; he doesn't know if it is going to take
removing that Goodwill thing to some other place where they don't have
access to it or if it is going to take the Manager to get the Police
to take care of it. Planning Director Gerschler was requested to
check it out and see if it comes under the Planning rules and regula-
tions. City Manager Bourcier said they have worked with the
organizations that have those drop points and have given them warning
if this continues they will have to ask them to remove them; Mr. Hoff-
land's department has been handling that.
COUNCILMAN PINSON said it has been shown that the City of National City
has been able to take care of its own problems and he doesn't think
there is a problem within the City of National City that can't be
handled; the only problem has been outside interference from individ-
uals outside the City limits of National City and that can be anywhere
from the State, to the County, to our neighboring cities, or just an
individual living outside the City limits of National City; National
City has been able to grow and prosper and we can still pay our bills
where some of the others are really pinching their pennies and it is a
good example of a well -run City; the only problem the City of National
City has is when we do have outside interference, someone coming in
here and trying to dictate to us how to run our City; that is our only
real problem in National City...is the outside interference.

COUNCILMAN CAMACHO asked the City Manager to investigate Granger Music
Hall and the liability involved if it was to burn or if someone was to
be hurt within the property...since it sets on City property. Mayor
Morgan said he thinks they need to refer that to the City Attorney for
a report. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Pinson, that a report be
brought to the Council as to the status of Granger Hall in reference
to the insurance and this liability which could inflict problems on
the City. City Manager Bourcier said he thinks Mr. McCabe could handle
that report; he knows the City Attorney knows the answers, but
Mr. McCabe has just done a thorough study of all our insurance
problems and we can come back with a report. Carried by unanimous
vote.
VICE MAYOR DALLA said going over the minutes of the Port District
meeting and also a memo from the City Manager, it seems that the City
of San Diego and the Port District are negotiating possibly turning
over of the Navy's athletic field to the City of San Diego;..,one of
the mitigating items, one of the things that is included in the deal
apparently, is for the Port District....one of the parties is going
to give up...give to the other party an excess and/or title to certain
property in National City; he doesn't know what the City can do if
anything, but considering the area in question, we might take the
time to look into and convey our feelings, whatever they might be,
toward the Port District; maybe it is time to start speaking up for
ourselves. There was discussion. Mayor Morgan said if there is no
objection, he would like the Manager to have the Engineers locate this
land so Council can go down and see it; he doesn't know where it is
and hasn't been able to find it on the map. Moved by Reid, seconded by
Camacho, the City Manager use any steps that he sees fit and set up a
meeting with those people down there and find out where it is at.
Carried by unanimous vote.
VICE MAYOR DALLA said he goes down 24 St, at National Ave. regularly
and there is a hole that is patched regularly; it is kind of dangerous
to go over with a Volkswagen; he thinks it has to do with the signal
light; it keeps sinking and getting bigger; and asked if Engineering
could check into it.
MAYOR MORGAN asked if Sharon Reid could make a report on the Grossmont
Golf Course that they closed down; the County Board of Supervisors have
it all locked up. MS. SHARON REID, Administrative Assistant to
Supervisor Jack Walsh, was present and spoke briefly on the Grossmont
Golf Course and said she would submit a written report.
Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the meetin9 be closed. Carried by
unanimous vote. The meeting closed at 9:15 p.m.
