REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY
CITY ATTORNEY McLEAN reported distributing a report concerning the status
of the Senior Citizens Housing project; the investigation of that project
to this point reveals that it is now necessary for management of the pro-
ject to be in the hands of City staff equipped to cope with the problems
relating to its construction; since th'e project will probably be financed
with federal grants or mortgage insurance administrated through the
Department of Housing and Urban Development and other reasons, the appro-
priate managing agency for the Senior Citizens project is the Redevelop-
ment Agency. The City Attorney recommended Council transfer the Senior
Citizens Housing project to the N.C. Redevelopment Agency for managing;
and Council authorize the transfer of the funds now in the City budget for
organization of the Senior Citizens project to the Redevelopment Agency
Revolving Fund to provide the start of money necessary for the project.
Moved by Waters, seconded by Camacho, in favor of the project (recommenda-
tion), Senior Citizens High Rise, to hand it over to the N.C, Redevelop-
ment Agency for management -Mr, Merrell Watts, and also the funds. There
was discussion, Carried by unanimous vote.

letter regarding Rapid Transit; Mr, Reid is going to have to vote on this
as to the Council's desires Monday at the CPO meeting. Moved by Morgan,
seconded by Camacho, we rescind the action of the Council of last week
agreeing with the City o yscondd and our representative be instruct¢ td
not vote on any SB 325 until the CPO Regional Transportation Study has

Morgan,, seconded by Camacho, we . at tze_ our represertat; n +o ��� L
a vote in favor of sending the money requested by T
San Diego ranst.
Vice Mayor Reid said he did not like this; in this
motion you are not turning down Oceanside, on their request are you. Mayor
Morgan said we are talking just about ours. There was discussion. City
Manager Osburn said he wrote down some figures; the SB 325 funds, that is
the funds you the people are paying in the 1S tax on gasoline hasn't been
paid back in this fiscal year; San Diego County will receive during 72-73
up to June 30 this year 6,8 million if they use the cash basis, if they
use an accrual basis it will .amount to about 8.3 million; the transit
company is trying to convince the auditor that the accrual method should
be used, whether he will or not he doesn't know; next year it will go over
9. million; this happened because they are lagging a few months behind in
getting the money to us; it started July the 1st and it was 60 days before
they started getting the money to us; that is the money they are holding,
two months money. City Manager Osburn continued that the City of Ocean-
side made a request for $222,500 for their 72-73 and San Diego requested
their funds total amounting to $5,,, 342,, 308 and this $ 5,, 342, 308 is broken
down into three categories; operational fund is $2.5-million, demonstration
fund $1„7-►million, and the capital fund is $1-million; the things to be
considered in this is the alternatives to allowing these requests, what
will happen„ and who will support the bus system till rapid transit system
is available and what is the cost, the effects on air pollution, and should
1/9/73
145
the people who are now paying tax receive the benefits, how to finance a
rapid transit organization, and transportation at a Regional level as opposef
to local problem; most of the requests we have had for additional buses
eand sois
someone trying to get downtown to a church or to the court house;
Senior Citizens are now riding the bus on the weekends, they can get a
pass for very little that will allow them to ride wherever they want to go;
National City's benefits from this would be they have 37,009 miles of bus
routes with National City contributing $13,629 plus utilization for opera-
tional support of $99,850 and capital support in the amount of $18,422 or
a total of $118,272 from the SB 325 fund; if you consider these questions
how we will finance otherwise, the Department of Transportation in Washing-
ton has $1-billion as matching funds for assistance to local tax system and
they expect to get this much each year; this is granted on the matching
fund basis and there is indication they wouldRothave any problem of
getting the matching funds if they go ahead/adevelop their own system.
DONALD R, JONES, 2120 Valle Vista Ave., was present and said he also
attended the CPO function they held the other night; the CPO should get
off their chairs and start moving around a little bit and develop that
study that they have been trying to develop and get that done; then start
supporting our local transit facility as it is right now; if he rode the
bus it would take him an hour and 45 minutes to get to work; he lives over
by Loln Acres School and works at 32nd St, Naval Station; He rides his
bike in there in 20 minutes. There was further discussion.. Motion
carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Caaacho, Reid, Morgan.
