(City Attorney McLean left the Council Chambers at 7:58 p.m.)
COUNCILMAN WATERS suggested the City Manager proceed on the idea of try-
ing to get a family theatre in the community; most people have to go to
Mission Valley and downtown San Diego; he would like to have a feasibility
study to see if any of these theatrical places would be interested in placing
a family theatre in a good location of the town. (City Attorney McLean re-
turned to the Council Chambers at 8:00 p.m) Mayor Morgan said he could re-
port on that; the South Bay Plaza is ready to build a Jerry Lewis Theatre;
they recommend when they build it they have two side by side seating 350
each, or they would build one; they say that National City would support two
which would show different films; this has all been checked out and the people
are ready to build; they need an operator who would be the owner and manager
of the place; it would cost...the owner -operator would have to have $20,000-
$25,000 for the one theatre; if they had someone with $40,000 or $50,000 who
would want to build both of them, they will go ahead and build two; they
have had people in from Los Angeles; Jerry Lewis' aides had been in his
office and they were talking about this and they have it all worked out.
COUNCILMAN HOGUE said an ordinance should be adopted requiring before a
business establishment could be used for different types of business that
the matter be referred to the Planning Department or the Planning Commission
for their recommendation to the Council before a business license is issued.
Moved by Hogue, seconded by Waters, 22Ltterbcj;j2LtLZthismleCit
Planner and to the administrative staff for the preparation of an or
of this nature. Motion carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes:
Camacho, Hogue, Waters. Nays: Reid, Morgan.
COUNCILMAN HOGUE said in regard to the possibility of some of the City de-
partments being able to go on the 10-hour, 4-day week without a decrease or
increase in pay; the Council should be presented a plan for or against this
idea (including in the report the why-nots or why this program may be
accomplished in each department); a report should come not onle from the

department heads but also from the employees themselves; they should prepare
a plan to present to the Council at the same time and they could compare the
two plans. There was discussion. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Reid, if the

trative lan for the Council to look at, Carried by unanimous vote.
COUNCILMAN HOGUE said in regard to the animal ordinance and he hated to bring
up old things; he read in the local paper that a person brought an animal
into the City and took it into one of our public buildings, an animal from
overseas and not vaccinated or anything of that nature. Councilman Hogue
said the animal ordinance was archaic and should be changed; they could es-
tablish a sensible ordinance where a thing of this nature could not happen
(leave out the horses and the monkeys if they wanted to) it was not right,
no one should be able to bring an animal from overseas that has not been
examined and vaccinated and take it into a public library for display. Moved
by Hogue, the subject of an animal ordinance, excluding horses and monkeys,
be prepared so they can control things of this nature like keeping lions and
elephants out. Motion died for lack of second.
COUNCILMAN HOGUE inquired about the NW corner of 18th and Lanoitan; the
person tells him that they are still illegally using that property. Planning
Director Gerschler said it has been checked into and it was in the active
file; he couldn't report the status tonight but would give him an AVO on it,

MAYOR MORGAN said he had been asked by the South Bay Plaza to see if they
could have parking on one side of Plaza Blvd. (Highland Avenue is the same
width as Plaza Boulevard and they have parking on one side on Highland);
they would like, if possible, to have parking on one side of their street

REPORT - Civil Service Commission on appeal of Frank Blickenstaff.
City _ttorney McLean said the City doesntt have a personnel officer at the
moment so he prepared the report and recommendation of the Civil Service
Commission concerning Mr. Blickenstaffts appeal of his dismissal from the
Police Department; independently of the agenda he distributed to the Council
transcripts of the Civil Service Commission hearing; prior to the Council
taking action, each individual councilman should read the transcript of the
Civil Service Commission hearing in its entirety; as he stated in his letter,
the Council has several choices to exercise concerning Mr. Blickenstaffts
appeal: (1) the Council can affirm the recommendation of the Civil Service
Commission that Mr. Blickenstaff not be fired and that he be reinstated with
a 30-day suspension; (2) the Council may take some other course of action
that it deems proper or (3) the Council can affirm the action of the Chief
of Police in dismissing Mr. Blickenstaff. Moved by Hogue, Mr. Frank 3licken-

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A communication from the CITY ENGINEER in regard to alley improvements
between National and B Avenues, 17th and 18th Streets, stating protests
represent 58% and the former recommendation should be withdrawn, (attached
petitions, maps, etc.) was presented. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Reid,
in reg±L'siLtothe item LDinintotheaving of the alley between National
and B Avenues 17th and 18th the recomien4atiof_theSity En ineer be
approved. Carried by unanimous vote. J. W. Kirby, 115 E. 18th Street, was
4/27/71
81
present and said Ordinance No. 1256 was passed by this Council in November,
1970 and shortly thereafter Mr. Black of Imperial Beach requested a building
permit to move in 6 apartment units on E. 17th Street; one of several of the
conditions of the building permit was the requirement that he improve the
full width, not half, of this alley for the width of his lot; interest was
generated and a petition was started for a total alley Improvement; it was
the first one that he knew anything about after the previous policy of 2" of
asphalt at a considerable lower price within the City. Mr. Kirby said the
practical way of getting around this, of course, was to seek a deferral and
post a bond and a covenant running with the land until such a time as the
whole thing was done; assuming that it was done in the cheaper manner than
the man that posted the original bond has paid the price of the original
cost specification and his money is held in abeyance until this is done; his
prime concern in this is that he felt and he believed that a majority of the
people there would like some improvement on that alley, not necessarily to
the degree that 6" of concrete 6" thick and full width requires because of
the cost factor. Mr. Kirby said the point he was trying to make was there
were areas in the City where a cheaper method of improvement might be used
without jeopardizing the future developments of those areas; they can be
done in a cheaper manner in accordance with a shorter life expectancy.
There was discussion. Mr. Kirby said he understood but he was trying to say
that since this ordinance has been enacted the staff (Planning and Engineer-
ing) indicated there was no other way to improve alleys except under the
provisions of this ordinance; he asked the question and that was what he was
after: does it require an amendment to this ordinance to get 2" or how do
they go about it, because he tried. Mayor Morgan asked Mr. Kirby to give
the Manager a call tomorrow and he will tell you if he thinks it needs an
amendment and he will report back to the Council. Mr. Kirby said he would
like to point out just one thing: these 2 alleys tie in together and the
nearest proper drainage is either 17th or l8th Street; you cannot just pave
a portion of an alley on a down hill slope and have the water run on to
private property legally. Arthur Filson, P. O. Box 476, Bonita, was present
and said he owned the corner lot at 17th and National; this gentleman was
just referring to the drainage in that alley; he has owned the building
there for over 25 years and they have had no problem that he knew of except
when at the first part of the rainy season the storm drains back up and it
backs clear up all over the place.
The Council considered a Special Driveway Permit application by Wilma Jean
Cheneweth, 2227-33 E. 8th Street (Map, Director of Planning's and City
Engineer's recommendations the permit be denied were attached to the agenda).
Planning Director Gerschler said this item has been re -designed in a manner
that eliminates the need for the driveway permit; it can be handled at staff
level. Ordered filed by unanimous vote.
NEW BUSINESS
A communication from the CITY MANAGER in regard to the recommended route
for the San Diego Transit Company was presented. Moved by Hogue, seconded
by-Wat-e, the recommendation of the City Manager pertaining to the routes
of the San Diego Transit in the City of National City be approved. There
was discussion. DonaldR. Jones, 2406 E. l9th Si, was present and said in
looking at the planned route, he didn't know what factors went into deciding
where the buses run but they leave out a large section of the population
here; he would really like to see this City come up with a transportation
plan for the City that would encourage people to ride the bus; he wouldn't
ride the bus; if he wanted to go down to the shopping center, the South Bay,
he would have to go all the way out to Lincoln Acres and back in again and
transfer; people are not going to ride this bus because you have to walk 8
or 9 blocks to get on this bus. Mayor Morgan asked if he does that now.
Mr. Jones said he doesn't and he was not going to. There was discussion.
(Councilman Hogue left the Council Chambers at 9:27 p.m.) Pastor Philip A.
Larson, 20351 Avenue, was present and spoke in regard to the need for public
transportation and a survey he was preparing for Aztec; he said National
City should establish a transit route that would take people to National
City shopping areas to spend their money. (Councilman Hogue returned to the
4/27/71
