COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS COUNCILMAN WATERS stated he accepted the invitation to serve on the Advisory Board of the Narcotics Prevention & Education Systems, 825 "A" Avenue, National City; it appears they will receive the $248,000.00 grant; he accept- ed because San Diego County was just named the No. 1 narcotics problem in the United States by the National Institute of Mental Health. Councilman Waters said a few people who are interested should come forward and serve on the Advisory Board and assist these people who are doing a good job; it needs community support; he would like the Council to have a change of heart on the decision they made a couple months ago. COUNCILMAN WATERS stated he discussed with some VFW people the idea of a teen post on this side of town (it appears we are going to have one on the west side); the IFW are willing to sacrifice their place, with no cash in- volved to the City other than they will be willing to trade properties; he requested the City Manager give him a list of some of the properties that National City owns to see whether this is possible. COUNCILMAN WATERS inquired if the Director of Attorney had not proceeded with litigation on yard. Director of Planning Stockman reported just before she went on vacation and when she she didn't know why. Planning knew why the City Webers Bread on Plaza Soule - she gave this to the attorney returned, he was on vacation; COUNCILMAN WATERS said (referring to the report he asked for on parks, rats, etc.,) the City has an $18,000.00 tree remover; there are beautiful trees in the right of way of (freeway) 805; the reason for this $181000.00 tree remover is to use such trees whenever possible. Councilman Waters asked the Assistant City Manager to discuss this idea with Mr. Maley; some of the beautiful trees in the right of way of 805 are being bulldozed. Discussion fol lowed. MAYOR MORGAN said in regard to Councilman Waters' statement on the Narcotics Prevention and Education System this $240,000. hasn't been approved yet; if this money is approved, it won't be spent in the City of National City; it will be spent in other parts of San Diego and other areas; if the Council paid the $300.00 or $350.00 a month for their rent, it would be $900.00 or $1,050.00 thrown away. MAYOR MORGAN said there are about 4 or 31/2 acres on 30th Street where the rug company was that has never been built on; the rug company is out of business and he would like the record checked to see if there was any way the City could buy back the land if the land was for sale because this land was sold for $9,000.00 an acre and it should be used. Vice Mayor Camacho 8/25/70 158 said he thought the National School District was interested in this property for their administrative buildings; he didn't know, but this was what he heard.
