City Attorney McLean said if the church people involved would call his office and speak to Mrs. Valdez, he could make arrangements for them to get a permit to get across the border; it was a matter of making arrange- ments with the chief of the customs agency whose office is in Tijuana. VICE MAYOR WATERS asked the City Manager about an assessment district on C Avenue, 20th St., 21st St, and an alley (Assessment District No. 147); the people in that area paid for a street improvement and the alley was left undone; one of the ladies in question here said between "B" and "D", 18th w 21st Streets where the alleys were not done, they were supposed to be done under this assessment district; he was wondering if this could be checked and report be brought back to the Council. City Manager Osburn said this was a 1911 Act and the alley mentioned in there was only the alley between National and "A" Avenue; it was the only one petitioned for and the only one done in the area, but he would check that out. COUNCILMAN REID asked the City Manager if there was money for the five 25' standards for the pool lights. City Manager Osburn said he was not sure that they have been ordered; he knew this was to be done. Councilman Reid inquired about the three life guard stands. City Manager Osburn said he would have to check. MAYOR MORGAN told Planning Director Gerschler he thought National City should take the lead on bicycle trails and see if they could get a bicycle trail through Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, and all the way around. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Waters, they authorize this and take a lead and if there are any obstacles bring it back to the Council. Carried by unanimous vote.

Planning Director Gerschler replied they were making several feasibility studies and there were some engineering problems to explore; they are preparing a very preliminary report for the Council which they hope to have back to them within the next 2.-3 weeks; it was nearly finished now; so fax, the prospect looks very good. 3/14/72 95 MAYOR MORGAN presented a 30-year pin to Kenny Bradt of the Police Depart- ment and spoke of his outstanding service.

COUNCILMAN HOGUE commented on the situation of the parking along Plaza Boulevard near Fed -Mart where the apartments are; he thought since the centerline striping was run from Pale all the way down to Euclid without the Council's permission,, he could see no reason why it shouldn't be run all the way down past his house, but run it on down and cut this parking out because young children come out of that school at Palmer Way and cross there and it does narrow down the street, Mayor Morgan asked if Council- man Hogue would go along with referring this to the Traffic Safety Committee. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Reid, this be referred to the Traffic Safety. Committee* Carried by unanimous vote. COUNCILMAN HOGUE said Mr. Camacho has asked for this and they ignored it: the Redondo family has to be brought before this Council for recognition; they are the most outstanding tennis family in the State of California; when they put their name in the paper they say "National City," they don' t say "San Diego." Councilman Camacho said National City has been blessed by its recreational program; so many of the citizens contribute so much of their time to help. Councilman Camacho said he was hoping that the City Council will allow him to cover the tennis court with that windbreak he wants so much. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Hogue, y out , oust,,, t, he ,, mo,,,�, nej to bu him a windbreak to cover u the tennis court when he Ives his lessons to all the ounfsters, not only his brothers and sisters but any- bod that wants to learn how to la the ame. Mayor Morgan asked what they were voting on. Councilman Camacho said it was just a thin canvas that covers the windbreaker; it will cost about $200. Carried by unanimous vote. VICE MAYOR WATERS said the sewer lines have been in several weeks and he was sure the City Manager was aware of the danger on Plaza Boulevard and Highland without the markings up there where they belong; when does engineering plan to get on this program. City Manager Osburn said they just got permission last week to proceed with the markings; they have a change east of Euclid Avenue and they will be on it very shortly.
