COUNCIL COMMUNICAT I ONS VICE MAYOR WATERS spoke regarding protocol which should be followed when the Mayor is unable to act in an official capacity. (City Attorney McLean arrived at 7:37 p.m.) VICE MAYOR WATERS said he attended a narcotics and teen post meeting where he found the committee upset because of letters written by the Mayor to each of the teenagers and didn't go through the committee; the committee felt he should have gone through them; the committee sent around a questionnaire and the teen post was tops on their list; they did not want a teen post in with the welfare office or a tiny tots place. VICE MAYOR WATERS said at the Essex Manor grand opening Mr. Beauchamp called his attention to bedrooms large enough to accommodate king and queen size beds; Mr. Beauchamp should be complimented and a letter sent on behalf of the city thanking him for upgrading the community. MAYOR MORGAN said a study of traffic accidents in the area of 8th and Palm reveals there are a number of accidents. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Waters, they refer this 8th and Palm of left turn lanes, on 8th Street to the Traffic SafetCommittee and they bring back a recommendation. Carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Hogue. MAYOR MORGAN said two weeks ago he suggested a charge be made on apart- ment buildings per unit to be used for open space and parks and asked the City Manager if he had any figures. City Manager Osburn said they sent letters out to all of the cities in the county but they have received no answers. Mayor Morgan asked if they could collect $50 now but not put it in an ordinance at this time. City Attorney McLean asked if the Mayor's question was to adopt an ordinance now. Mayor Morgan said they could vote tonight they were going to require $50 now for every unit when people get their building permits but when they got it figured up it might be $75 or $60. City Attorney McLean said his reaction was it would have to be handled by an ordinance but if they want to adopt a motion tonight he would look into the matter and if the motion was 10/5/71 238 sufficient to impose the fee, then it would be in effect; if it does require an ordinance they haven't done anything wrong by adopting a motion. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Camacho, they start collecting $50 per unit for parks and open space and it will be paid at the time they get their building permit so that they could provide for future open space and parks for the City of National City. Included in motion and sect rid if the ordinance was the way they were supposed to go the City Attorney be akthe aec rt�ala ai�ditn ordinance for presentation at the next meeting./ f t eye' were going to tax anybody, tax them all equally, City Attorney McLean inquired if the motion was to levy the fees on R-2 and above or was it for single families too. Mayor Morgan said every residence and apartment building in National City. Vice Mayor Waters inquired why they didn't include all structures. Mayor Morgan said it had been tested in court for living quarters; if the Attorney decides they could enforce this on other structures he would go along with that but he was not sure it would be legal.

The City Attorney recommended Hearings 1 and 2 be continued for one week to receive and consider the report of the Planning Commission. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the City Attorney's recommendation be approved. William Ward, Attorney for Scrap Disposal, was present and said since their last report they have had 3 or 4 engineering firms out to examine the problem caused by vibrations from not only their plant but the railroad and other adjacent industries; considering the problem was complicated because of the fact the land was only 8' - 10' above sea level; they have received a number of preliminary studies and have engaged a firm in Santa Ana to run the study which he thought the City wanted; it will take quite a bit of time; they will have three engineers working steadily; he didn't believe they would have the information they need in order to satisfactorily close these negotiations for another three or four weeks; he would request the City continue the pending 10/5/71 239 hearings for about a month. Mr. Ward said he had a copy of the agreement to the firm they engaged today and would present it to the City and their response was to be sent directly to the City by this firm.. Mayor Morgan said there was a motion on the floor to continue the hearing. Vice Mayor Waters asked Mr. Ward if he read the ordinance sent from the Planning Commission to the Council for adoption. Mr. Ward replied he had but hadn't analyzed it. Vice Mayor Waters asked if he basically agreed with everything in it; did he pay attention to recommendations by the Planning staff in relation to vibrations in the event he does not come up with specifications from his own engineers.

Planning Director Gerschler said the Council had the Planning Commission's recommendation in favor of this case; he would like to point out if the zoning were approved it would become a PO Zone which would require City Council approval of any plans for improvement of the property before building permits were issued. Mayor Morgan inquired if there was anyone in the audience who would like to speak. Vice Mayor Waters inquired if there were any protests and if it was properly posted. Planning Director Gerschler replied it was properly posted and he believed there were one or two protests; there was one letter submitted and he believed there was one person speaking in opposition to it. Vice Mayor Waters inquired if he would say the majority were in favor. Planning Director Gerschler said of all the notices that were sent (of which there were perhaps 25 or 30), he only recalled receiving two objections. No one was present in this regard.
