cD UNCI L COMMUNICATIONS
VICE MAYOR WATERS said Monday morning Granger Hall was lowered on its foun-
dation; it looks much better; Tom Ruiz who engineered that and many young
people who took part by doing manual labor out there ought to be congratu-
lated in some way by the City; they did a wonderful job; for about $2,000
they got this building on its foundation; now that it's on its foundation
when the steps are built, whether or not it takes five or ten years, he
thought it would be done without much difficulty; the people, the Historical
Society, and the women there will have something to do and the teenagers
will have something to be proud of to do on theirown. Vice Mayor Waters
asked Council's permission to have the City Manager see how they could go
about running the sewer and so forth into Granger Hall because they have
volunteer plumbers who will do all the plumbing work underneath the building
for practically nothing and they are getting ready to go and in order to
start their clean-up, they need water and so forth; they said even it if
was done within a month, it would be very helpful, Moved by Waters, seconded
by Pinson, they ask the CityManager to look into the situation when it
could be scheduled and what cost it would be to the City or whether there
would bste an coto the Gran er Mall a le to run the sewer in from the
street to the building, and he to brine a report back to the Council.
Carried b yunanimous vote.
VICE MAYOR WATERS said for about 5-6 years they have had.Planned Development
in the City; he made tours of the City with a lot of the Commissioners (he
was proud to have been one once); they worked real hard to get the land-
scaping and so forth in front of these buildings; they made it clear in
their ordinances if it was not kept up there would be a $500 fine against
the owners of the properties; in some places all the landscaping the builder
was made to put in was dead; he also went around to some of the apartment
houses (there were ordinances where some of these apartment complexes were
built and a certain amount of money from these people renting these places
were put in the kitty to keep the landscaping up) where there were complaints
this money was not being used for that; he was wondering if there was some
way they could look into this situation and to see that this money which was
directed to landscaping, that all of this planned development work that the
Council and Commissioners did over the last 4 or 5 years was k nd of kept

abreast and make these developers keep these things up. Planning Director
Gerschler said they were cognizant of these conditions as they come to their
attention from a number of sources; he couldn't agree, however, that the
ordinances cover this; as a matter of fact, there wasn't a single word in
the Zoning Code requiring the maintenance of landscaping. Vice Mayor Waters
asked if he was sure there wasn't a spot under Planned Development where
there was a $500 fine if they didn't keep it up. Planning Director Ger-
schler said he was quite sure; to correct that, they recently submitted an
8-point beautification program which had the endorsement of the Chamber of
Commerce and the Planning Commission which was now in the Council's hopper;
one of the 8 points was exactly that of a recommendation that a maintenance
ordinance be adopted which would give them what he suggested, the authority
to require the maintenance of landscaping.
COUNCILMAN PINSON said he attended a County Board of Supervisor's meeting
on May 11 and Mayor Pete Wilson of San Diego addressed that Board and said
he was speaking for all cities in support of the Transportation Fund (SB
325) to be controlled by CPO. Mr. Pinson said he did not recall anything
from this Council in support of his speech; unless something comes before
this Council, no one should speak for this City; Vice Mayor Waters got up
at the meeting and mentioned the fact that Mayor Wilson was not speaking
for National City; if he hadn't, he (Pinson) was planning to.
MAYOR M RGAN recommended the intment of Pablo Ba ani 2110 Melrose to
the Civil Service Commission to fill Robert Knight's unexpired term;
President of the Filipino group in National City. Moved by Camacho, seconded
by Pinson, the Ma or' s recommendation be a roved. Carried by unanimous vote
VICE MAYOR WATERS said they received a communication from the Civil Service
Commission in regard to reviewing adoption of 5 classifications, Fire Chief,
Fire Assistant Chief, Fire Battalion Chief, Fire Captain, and Maintenance
Man; and asked if there were any changes. Assistant City Manager Stenberg
said he was referring to a copy of the agenda for tomorrow night's Civil
Service Commission meeting; the Commission has been periodically updating
class specs; this was one of the functions they were responsible for under
ordinance. Vice Mayor Waters asked if there were new added positions.
Assistant City Manager Stenberg said there were none.
MAYOR MORGAN said they had a problem in the National Award Homes where the
trees were planted 10-15 years ago; some sidewalks were raised as, much as
6" there. The Mayor asked if they could set a plan to take out some of
the trees causing this; could they have the Tree Committee and thee. Park &
Recreation people look these over and decide which trees should be Temoved.
City Manager Osburn said one way of solving it was the Street Tree Committee
be directed to talk to the people regarding planning the parkways; tile'
will be taking a survey of all the trees within the City parkways in the
very near future; they think they can do this on their own and save some of
the expense, but that was before the Finance Committee right now:.
MAYOR MDRGAN said Planning Director Gerschler had a plan they had been
working on for quite some time; he wanted the Council to look at this as
this was something that was fantastic for the City. Planning Director
Gerschler displayed the proposed plans for a marina in the vicinity of the
boat launching ramp. Planning Director Gerschler said they call it Paradis%
Marina and it was the old Paradise slough area; and explained various
features of the plans which include: a marina to accommodate as many as
350 small boats; open space as a buffer to the freeway; off-street parking;
commercial development (hotels, motels, shopping areas); an overnight
parking area for campers and trailers. Planning Director Gerschler said
they were considering that; they were considering an island within the
channel; there is a problem of disposing of about 450,000 cu. yds. Of bay
mud, something that was hard to get rid of; he was now having the fellows
make a study of the feasibility of making an island in the middle of , the
Paradise Marina; they were trying to determine whether or not it was Xeasi--
ble from an engineering standpoint and from an economic standpoint. Planning

one to each member of the City Council and the City Manager.
LUCETTA E. GA!DUNG, 1824 Orange Street, was present and said she was present
last week and was here again; she received a letter from whoever inspects
the parking spaces; he must have been in a helicopter because some are
adequate and some are not and some were full of garbage cans, Mrs. Ganoung
gave the City Clerk a list of available parking spaces and the license
numbers of parked cars. Planning Director Gerschler said they found there
were trash cans located in 1 or 2 of the parking spaces; action has been
taken to correct that; orders have been issued; so far as the rest of the
parking area was concerned, it complied with the code requirements in effect
at the time of the building of the apartment house. RALPH ROBBINS, 1827
Prospect, was present and said he had the same problem Mrs. Ganoung has;
he had been in the building business and he knew these parking areas were
only 7 x 14; you could hardly get a Volkswagen in there; they were not used
for parking areas but were used to put trash cans in; if they were used for
a parking area cars would be sticking out in the alley; they have torn
down his fence and torn up his driveway; he was dammed tired of it.

JAMES A. GILES, 5439 Bonita Drive, San Diego, was present and spoke for
M.T. MIRANDA, who has purchased a duplex at 801 Gilbert Street which he
wants to move to his property on Lanoitan; he had the plans drawn up and a
lot had to be done to bring it up to the code and specifications; he thought
perhaps the Council was in doubt as to whether or not Mr. Miranda was
qualified to do the work; Mr. Miranda has worked for him for 12-14 years
(he was a construction superintendent); all of the corrections that were
necessary designated by a representative from the City, he was sure he could
follow this if he was permitted to move the house to his lot; he has an
electrical contractor, plumbing, and he would supervise the carpentry of
the work. There was discussion. Planning Director Gerschler said the
matter will be before the Planning Commission Monday, May 22, and he will
have their recommendation at the next regular Council meeting. Mr. Miranda
spoke. Moved by Waters, seconded by Pinson, this be laid over to next week
after the Planning Commission comes up with its recommendation and it be
brought before this Council on Tuesday night the f lowing night,, Carried
by unanimous vote.
Moved by Waters, seconded by Morgan, the meeting be closed. Carried by
unanimous vote. The meeting closed at 9:15 p.m.
