Moved by Pinson, seconded by Waters, this item be denied. Assistant City Manager Stenberg said the Building Department made an inspec- tion and they feel that under the existing circumstances there would be danger.

There was discussion. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, this be tabled until the next meeting, January 8, 1974, until Mr. Stenberg has had the opportunity to investigate this and perhaps come to some agreement.

Mayor Morgan's letter recommending the matter of ZONE CHANGE in the area of 17TH STREET, LANOITAN AVENUE TO RACHAEL, be referred to the Planning Commission for hearing and recommendation was presented (Property owners in the area of 17th Street, Lanoitan Avenue to Rachael Avenue requested the zone be changed from R-4 to R--1). Moved by Morgan, this request be referred to the Planning Commission for a recommendation from the Staff and Commission. Died for lack of second. Moved by Waters, this item on zone change be filed. Councilman Waters said he has just received a petition from 25 property owners; "we the undersigned oppose the 1911 Act on 17th Street, Lanoitan Avenue to Rachael Avenue in the City of National City;" it is signed by all the property owners in that area except for a select few. Moved by Waters, seconded by Pinson, that 1911 Act that was proposed on Rachael Avenue to Lanoitan on 17th Street be filed permanently. Mayor Morgan said the reason the people in the area are opposing the 1911 Act is because it is R-4; they don't want apartments in behind and next to their property; if they could get their property zoned R-1 on 17th Street, from Lanoitan to Rachael, they would be in favor of putting R--1 homes back there; he thinks it is a good opportunity to zone something for R-1 houses instead of apartments. Councilman Waters said he feels until we get a list of names from people in that area asking that this zoning be changed from R-4 to R-1, we should leave it alone. MR. STOCKRIDGE, 2836 E. 18th St., was present and said he does not want it changed from R-4 to R-1; if they continue the street through, he would not protest; but not going about two blocks with it and stop. Mayor Morgan said the thing to do is have a public hearing so they will have a right to come in and turn in these petitions and sign letters, turn them in; and at that time if there are 50%, we will throw it out the window; we do that all the time.

Mr. Stenberg said it will be a gradual ramp from the parking area and driveway area down to the ball playing field; it will be a rough finish ramp. There was discussion. Carried,by unanimous vote. ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER STENBERG said he has a report on a request from the City Council for a cost estimate on covering the open vertical wall concrete drainage channel along 8th Avenue; the City Engineer reports that to put a temporary wood covering over the open drainage culvert for pedestrian traffic only would be about $8,000; if the City were to replace this with a cement box culvert, it would cost approximately $220,000 of which apparently approximately half of it would be eligible for gas tax funds. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Reid, this be referred to the Finance Committee. Carried by unani- mous vote. ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER STENBERG said he has a report in answer to an inquiry by Mayor Morgan this last week; he inquired as to how many of our new budgeted roiling stock was additional equipment items; out of the total of 11 budgeted, three of those are additional new items.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT transmittal regarding APPLICATION BY MELCHOR CRISTOBAL for EXEMPTION from INSTALLATION OF PERMANENT PAVING FOR ONE-HALF the STREET WIDTH at 1523 "E" Avenue stating the Planning Commission recommended the application be approved subject to the applicant's installing 2-1/2" A.C. pavement over the existing paving as recommended by the Engineering Department was presented. Planning Director Gerschler said it is required that the existing street be 12/18/73 273 removed and reconstructed as a firm street; the applicant filed a request for a waiver; the City Engineer suggested a compromise solution that would provide 2 11 inches of A.C. paving over the existing pavement; this would be a substantial financial savings to the applicant; the estimated cost is something like $250. MELCHOR CRISTOBAL, 2509 E. Second Street, was present and said he asked for the waiver because of financial reasons; he talked with the Engineering Department about it; he and his wife have decided to go ahead and pave it the early part of next year; he is requesting a deferral until the early part of next year. Moved by Waters, seconded by Pinson, he go ahead and proceed with this, post a $250 bond and give him 90 days to complete this project.

MR. SALVADOR, 37 North "U" Avenue, was present and said he was before the Planning Commission last week on this matter; the next day he realized that there was nothing said about the gutters; he wants to get that straight; this denial from last week, is that just on the sidewalk or the gutters also? he took it for granted the gutter was deferred from the report of the City Engineer; he would like all of it deferred but the gutter would be sufficient; it would be the hardest to put in. There was discussion. Planning Director Gerschler said the code requires that all three, curb, gutter and sidewalk, be done; they applied for deferral of all three; the City Engineer recommended, on November 29, 1973, the gutter be deferred and that the sidewalk not be deferred; that is what the Planning Commission is recommending the gutter be deferred and the sidewalk be installed. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Waters, we approve the Planning Com- mission's recommendation that the sidewalk be installed and the gutters be deferred. Councilman Waters asked if a covenant running with the land would be necessary? Planning Director Gerschler said when they sign an application, they also sign an agreement not to protest further improvements. Mr. Salvador asked how much time he has to put the sidewalk in? City Engineer Foster said it is supposed to be in before you get an occupancy permit. Carried by unanimous vote. COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS COUNCILMAN WATERS asked Mr. Stenberg what ever happened to this report on the street closing down by the Plaza Apartments where residents from that district came before Council asking that this be closed? Assistant City Manager Stenberg said this is in relations to 10th and llth Streets, just North of Plaza Boulevard; all of the Departments that were contacted in this regard have reported; this has to go before the Planning Commission and is coming back to Council; at that time he will bring back the report of the other departments. COUNCILMAN CAMACHO said he would like Mr. Stenberg to commend Mr. Maley, Parks and Recreation Director, on the saving for the City money on the swimming pool lights. COUNCILMAN REID brought up the matter of the communication received regarding the President's suggestion for saving energy and giving the employees a day off on the days before Christmas and New Years. Councilman Reid asked the City Attorney if this could be done legally? there will be no Council meeting and they say there will be no business here; why bring the people in? let's save this energy. 12/18/73 274 City Attorney McLean said the State law says the City Hall is supposed to be open except on State prescribed holidays; the day before Christmas and the day before New Years are not, at this time, State holidays...Moved by Pinson, seconded by Reid, we close on Monday, Christmas Eve to save energy.

Moved by Morgan, seconded by Waters, to refer this to the City Manager and have him bring back a report of setting up adult crosswalks at these four locations and that the Assistant City Manager be authorized to set this up at the expense of $3,159 (amended motion). Assistant City Manager Stenberg said he has some information in this regard; he attended this meeting with the Mayor; he met with Sgt. Brown, of the Police Department, yesterchy and he indicated that on these four locations it would be approxi- mately 3 hours a day, for a total of 12 hours daily; for the balance of the fiscal year, if we were to pay an estimated wage of $2.25 an hour for these adult crossing guards, it would amount of approximately $3,159; this is from January to June 14; if Council approved this, they could not get it started any sooner because of the time required to recruit. Carried by unanimous vote. MAYOR MORGAN said there is a boy who was hit in front of the Boys' Club; he has been unconsuous for three or four days; he is really in bad shape; the Boys' Club is asking for a crosswalk to be painted at 15th and "D" and 14th and "D" so these boys can be trained to go up to 14th or down to 15th instead of crossing right in front of the Boys' Club; this is where the boy got hit.
