APPROVAL OF MINUTES Moved by Waters, seconded by Camacho, the minutes of the re ulcer meetin of November 237 1971 be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS COUNCILMAN HOGUE said it would be proper at this time (the 30th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor), to have a moment of silence to show our appreciation for those who gave their lives that we may enjoy the gift of freedom which they so honorably and courageously defended. Mayor Morgan asked that everyone stand and have a minute of silent prayer. COUNCILMAN HOGUE said he was absent from the Chamber of Commerce installa- tion dinner because of a personal tragedy in his family; he knew that the success of our City partially lies wi thin 'the efforts and perseverance of the National City Chamber of Commerce and he would back every endeavor on their part for the progress of this City; as to the new president, Frank Lowery, there will be nothing but success during his term; also, Mr. Green did a wonderful job for the City. COUNCILMAN HOGUE said he had asked a resolution be sent to members of Congress to repeal the law which gives the President of the United States the right to intern citizens, such as the American.Japanese were during World War II; this law has been repealed; we can live without fear of such an unfortunate situation recurring. MAN COUNCIL HOGOGUE asked the City Attorney if they had any control at all over private parking places such as in a shopping center to keep it dri ruble for citizens who enter it. City Attorney McLean replied some of the devel- opments that have occurred recently do contain as part of the development permit development standards for parking lots; other than that, they have no City ordinance that would require the landlord to maintain his parking lot in any particular fashion or condition. Councilman Hogue asked if the Council felt that the entrance into a parking lot used by the public was detrimental to the health and welfare of the citizens, could they blockade that driveway? City Attorney McLean said he thought the type of regula- tions he was talking about were possible; if Councilman Hogue intended to sponsor such regulations, his suggestion was this come from the Planning Department; it was part of the development regulations for property; he would say Planning and Engineering have the technical advice to suggest what sort of ordinance would be appropriate. Councilman Hogue said the entrance into the Alpha Beta parking lot off of Harbison Avenue coming off of 12th Street was in his opinion detrimental to the health and welfare of 12/7/71 2 this community because of the number and the size of the chuck holes in the driveway; they should either block that driveway so no one could enter that driveway or another alternative was they should have an ordinance written that would In a way protect their citizens and their equipment; and he would like to see in any further developments of this nature a stipulation that they must maintain such a type of driving conditions. Moved by Hogue, seconded 14, Camacho, if it was possible, if it was lawful and feasible, Mr. McLean draw up an ordinance and with Mr. Gerschier's, the Planning Commission and En i neeri n De artment hel to insure to their citizens that if they 90 i ntoa shopping center and all business driveways that. there will be driveable roadways for them to drive their cars without havini to worry about rebalancing their front wheels or a wreck orsomething of that nature. (Amended motion) There was discussion. Carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Hogue, Waters, Morgan. Nays: None. Abstaining: Reid. Moved by Hogue, they put barriers in front of the driveway to the Alpha Beta shopping center off of 12th St. until those chuck holes are repaired. Motion died for lack of second. City Attorney McLean said he thought that might cause some problems; he understood Mr. Hogue's concern as it was a legitimate one; he would suggest two things: No. 1, the staff will communicate with the owners of this property on the Council's behalf telling them about the concern the Council has; No. 2, the staff will evaluate whether this type of condition could be described as a public nuisance or some other violation of law they could base some official action on. COUNCILMAN CAMACHO said he visited Tecate to see the seating of their new City Counci 1 Wed., December 1; when they took the oath there were approxi- mately 1,000 people in the theatre in Tecate; they went through formal ceremonies and had numerous dignitaries there, the Governor of Baja California and the Secretary General; what impressed him the most was the support of the people. VICE MAYOR WATERS read a letter from Scrap Disposal stating they intended to remain in National City for years to come, listed plans for their business and invited the Council to their plant for a tour when all plans had been completed. VICE MAYOR WATERS said he receives monthly reports and was a little alarmed about the bui ldi ng reports; he noticed for the month of November there was one single family home built in the City but six were torn down; the City Planner should take a real look into the possibility of some R-1 subdivi- sions in this community; he saw no plans and no action whatsoever about the R-1 single family; there are several areas that are left and he had his opinions of them; he would like the City Planner to look around the community and take a look at some of their vacant areas like hillsides which would make good view areas. MAYOR MORGAN asked the City Manager if they had anyone to direct traffic at Highland at 16th St, 0? j and Plaza Boulevard at say 3 or 4 hours a day, busy times, from now until Christmas time so traffic can get in and out. MAYOR MORGAN said the Christmas decorations on 12th Street are not perma- nent; he would like to see the City between now and next year plant Christmas trees in between every palm tree from National Avenue to "D" Avenue, something like 6' to 8'; next year they could put lights on those Christmas trees from one side to the other; maybe they could put a taller one at National and a taller one at "D" that would show up; he thought as these trees grow up they will be a real setting for a Christmas atmosphere for our City. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Waters, they authorize. the Cit M a er be wean now and next Christmas or as soon as ssible to look, into getting a tree for every spot between the palm trees from "D" Avenue to National Avenue and make a report back to the Council on the costs and see if the Council wij1 authorize the spending of the money. There was discussion. Carried by unanimous vote. 12/7/71 3 MAYMOR MORGAN recommended the appointment of Felicitas Baker to the Library Board of Trustees. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the Mayor's recommendation be approved. There was discussion. Carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Reid, Morgan. Nays: Hogue, Waters.. MAYOR MORGAN told the City Manager the South Bay Historical Society was going to ask him for a resolution setting aside Granger Hall as a histor- ical building for National City; if this is done they can get State money to restore Granger Hall; they have been working on it and it was going to cost $150, 0004200, 000 he believed to do it proper. City Manager Osburn said he received the letter today and they were researching it now to see what responsibilities would be delegated to the City should they go into this. COUNCILMAN REID inquired if there was some way they wouldn't have to wait for the Christmas trees; he was for the idea, he thought it was great, but what were they going to do about this year's display. City Manager Osburn said he had an estimate from Mr. Maley saying it would cost $1,599.26 to add 500 watt quartz iodine floodlight fixtures complete with elements and 50 rolls of poly foil (gold) for $65.00 and 10 rolls of luminous plastic 41" ribbon (red) at $1.25 per roll for $12.50 total and flocking material for $180.00 which will anount to $1,599.26; the lights purchased could be used on the area througt'out the year or could be remounted on an activity area for better illumination; the other items would have to be expendable; so $1,265.00 would be useful time and again. There was discussion. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Reid, they authorize the City Manager to spend up to $250.00 in wrapping the trees with tin foil from "D" Avenue to National Avenue on 12th Street. There was further discussion. Carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Hogue, Reid, Morgan. Nays: Waters. Mayor Morgan asked the City Manager to see if they could get two larger trees, one out on "D" Avenue and one next to National Avenue. City Manager Osburn said they had some trees now out there and he would check. Mayor Morgan said if they already had the trees they could go ahead and do it; if he finds trees suitable, to plant those two trees there; also the Manager should put up those verses on each end, at "D" Avenue and National Avenue, the books with Bible verses. COUNCILMAN CAMACHO said Mx. Don Jones of the Chamber of Commerce repre- sented the Jaycees at Tecate; he wanted to thank Don for accompanying him there. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS CHARLES HBCK., 2911 E. loth Street, was present and said he was here tonight on behalf of his friends and neighbors to petition the Council to act on an urgent matter; it was a drainage problef; ever since they opened Pleasant Lane they were getting water all the way from 8th and Harbison all the way down Pleasant Lane and it lands down at their place; the water, at times, goes from curb to curb; they also have a few unimproved lots on Pleasant Lane and all of the dirt and rocks come down their way; they land down in the corner there and they sweep it up the best they could trying to keep the street cleaner; they would appreciate it very much if the City would give them a hand on it; ke talked to the City Engineer and he has a solution but he needs the backing of the Council for money to do the job. Mayor Morgan asked the City Engineer to bring a report on that. DONALD R. JONES, 2406 E. 19th St., was present and said he really had a good time in Tecate; he didn't understand too much of what they were saying, but they were very enthusiastic. Mr. Jones said this evening in driving down here he encountered three bicycles; they appeared in front of him quite abruptly and didn't have reflectors or lights; it scared him a little bit and that added to the fact that they had three sailors on Harbor Drive in two accidents involving bicycles which were unlighted and did not have reflectors; he didn't know the rules in National City but he was almost sure that somewhere they had a statute which says when you ride a bicycle 12,/7/71 4 /you at should have reflectors and a light.
