Moved by Hogue, seconded by Reid, National City send an offer tc the County League of Cities informing them we wo,.ld oe willing to sponsor the golf tournament at Bonita (which golf course will soon be a part of our city). Carried by unanimous vote. VICE MAYOR HOGUE introduced Oscar O. Canedo, Candidate for Trustee of the National School District board; Mr. Caned° was his pupil in 8th Grade History Class; it was rewarding to see his interest in the local government of the City. MAYOR MORGAN expresses: appreciation to Mr. rogue for serving as Vice Mayor during the past year. The Mayor requested the City Manager to obtain plaques for the one year 'lice Mayor Hogue served in that capacity and the two years Councilman Coburn served. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the Mayor's recommendation be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. MAYOR MORGAN recommenced: the appointment of Councilman Reid as Vice Mayer for the coming year. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Camacho, the Mayor's recommen- dation be approved. Vice Mayor Hogue stated he would like to say he enjoyed working in that capacity under Mayor Morgan who gave so much of his time tc the City. Carried by the following vote, tc-wit: Ayes: Camacho, Colburn, Hogue, Morgan. Plays: None. Abstaining: MAYOR MORGAN said there are few places in the City to shop for clothing and he thought it was time the Council went on record, or had a study made by someone from the outside, to see if perhaps there is another area in town which should ne considered for a shopping center; the City will receive this year over one million dollars in sales tax. Mayor Morgan pointed out various shopping areas on a map of Chula Vista which were designed for attracting business. The Mayor said National City had a potential of a larger shopping business; he saw no reason for National City not tc have a major department store in the City. Councilman Hogue stated Councilman Colburn brought this point out very well a week or two ago: the fact that the Council needs to stimulate the South Flay Plaza through leadership. Councilman Hogue said may- be the Mayor had the answer since he built the pancake house in Chula Vista rather than National City. Mayor Morgan replied he built there because you have to build where a roan will sign a lease; he owns property on Plaza Boule- vard and has tried every way to get a pancake house or any other restaurant to come in but hasn't been able to do so. The Mayor said he was not just pro- moting his place; he would like to see a restaurant or motel anywhere in the 4/8/69 17 ,.ity; in the last week or ten days he has taken people all over the City and could not find any sprat large enough to interest acy c•_ them; if there was an area as large as the El Toyon Park, he could: get several stores to go intc that area. Councilman Hogue said he still likee his suggestion of a year or two ago: they coa.ld eliminate National Avenue th o•2gi urban redevelopment and we wouldn't have to buy these spots these people are locking for; he was ready for this at any time. Mayor Morgan said he we '.c. like for the City Manager (if he thinks it necessary) to hire some outside firm to make a study of the entire City; he would like this turned over to the City Manager to come back with something. Councilman Hogue said Councilman Colburn brought this point out: they were not doing anything as City leaders to stimulate the local shopping center; they could fill in chuck holes in the parking let and things like that. Mayor Morgan said he did not want to get in on private property. Councilman Camacho said if the corporation that owns the South Bay Plaza does not want to do anything about it (it's their money and, their property), it would be hard for the City to tell them what they wane them to do. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the problem be turned ever to the City Manager for a report. Councilman Hogue asked the City Manager what he thought he was going to do. City Manager Osborn replied basically, they would want to deter- mine the future of the City, if the outside cons..itants feel there is an area for another shopping center, if they feel this is possible, where it should be, and information of this type relating to the retail shopping center of the City. Councilman Colburn said evidently communications have broken down; it was not his intent for the City to take any legal steps with the South Say Plaza nor was it his intent to direct to them hcw they should rebuild, fix chuck holes, etc.; his intent was very similar tc the Mayor's; the intent of his motion was to communicate with the people of the South Bay Plaza, someone who has something to do with the betterment or improvement of that area, and work with.,them on street patterns; we have an 3nineering Department and they could sit on a meeting to determine what patterns would be best; in changing the street patterns they might upgrade the parking lot; he only wanted. tc cement good relations and to show the City was willing to cooperate. Council- man Colburn said the City has a General Plan and there are areas which have been suggested for development of shopping centers, not just a complex, L- shaped area; a. letter was sent to every motel of record inviting them to look at National City; cut of over 140 letters sent cut, about four replied; he hoped the City Manager would not come back with an expensive survey but rather that they could determine by mcnies already silent the areas for developments talked about. Motion to turn the problem ever to the City Manager for a re- port carried by unanimous vote. MAYOR MORGAN said he had been invited by the U. S. Navy tc sail on the USS Galveston through the Panama Canal; he will be gone April :th - 20th. The proposed PROCLAMATION of "NATIONJAL CITY ROJEC DAYS" (September 2 - 7, 1;69) was read. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Camacho, the proclamation be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. Mayor Morgan presented the proclama- tion to Fion Hogue, last year's Rodeo Queen. LORNA HARRIS, 718 3. 8th Street, was present and said she made a survey which goes along with the Council's thinking regarding progress; without advertising, she had everyone coming into her place of business sign a slip of paper, the winners to receive prizes, those signing the slips came from: San Francisco -1; Sailors stationed aboard ships-10; downtown San Diego addresses-15; Spring Valley-11; Lemon Grove-4; La Mesa-2; Alpine-2; E1 Cajon-4; Calexico-1; Heritage Homes area-52; Imperial Beach-8; Chula Vista-31; National City-73; this shows we have a potential; if you have something to stop them, you can get their trade. CHARLES COSSIC, 2137 Grove Avenue, was present and said last summer he was asked about proceeding with a national swimming event tc be held in National City; last night as a result of voting among the AAU officials and represen- tatives in conjunction with Quaker Oats, Sponsor of the National Junior Olympics, National City was selected as a site for the National Junior Olympics to be held August 20, 21, 22; National City will host the swimming and diving which will take place on Thursday of that week; the information released so 4/8/6 _jar is that children are coming to San Diego from all over the country en Tuesday morning; there will be an Olympics type presentation and ceremony in the stadium; on Wednesday they will have the =ield and crack Olympics and swimming and diving on Thursday; the various finals will be held on Friday; this will be nationally televised.

The City Manager said he would like to report to the Council at the next meeting in regard tc the com- plete project; he was asking this reluctantly because time was of the essence; the City just received a contract from HUD in this regard; there are require- ments in it that he would like to go ever with the City Attorney; it could be r done by the next Council meeting. Councilman Hogue asked the City Manager why he wanted to delay Phase I. City Manager Csburn replied he wanted to study the entire project and to look at the contract which they just received; he requested opinions from Park & Recreation Director Maley and the City Attor- ney; he realized time was short but did want time to look at the contract un- less the Council would approve it upon the approval of the staff and then go ahead and submit it.

[loved by Colburn, seconded by Hogue, Councilman Hogue's suggestions be approved that National City submit its rec- ommendations and sent our protests tc the toll bridge authorities in time to reach their meeting or have a representative, if feasible. Councilman Camacho said they did not know much about this; he did. not feel he was qualified to give an opinion CA what it should cost. Mayor Morgan said there was a $47,000,000.00 bond on this; the bonding company determines how much traffic will cress the bridge; they have to make enough money to pay off the bond and that's the way they will set the rates. Councilman Camacho said National City had an interest in the rates to be charged; they had an interest in protecting their citizens; the less expensive mode of transportation was being taken away for the more expensive method of going to Coronado; if they don't set a price, because of the time limit maybe they should -naive s;..re their motion reads they were protesting the excessive ccst; there will not be another Council meeting before they have their meeting and perhaps the City Manager should be author- ized to send a letter cf protest of the excessive costs.

City Manager Osburn said the request had been changed to the loth to the 20th. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Mor- gan, the request be granted. Councilman Hogue said. he disagreed with the motion; National City has a curfew of 10:00 for the young people of the City; he understood the Carnival stays open until. 12:00 at night; they were contrib- uting to the breaking of the curfew law by the young people. Councilman Col - burn said there were school sponsored activities and many other activities that last after 10:00; curfew was a guideline for unnecessary loitering; teen- agers traveling a straight route home are not pothered in any way and the rule is not applied. Councilman Hogue said Councilman Colburn brought out a point about six months ago that this was for advertisement and the carnival was allowed to run after Montgomery Wards closed. Councilman Reid said there was City ordinance that specified so many private patrolmen be furnished for se many people in a gathering; he saw no mention of that; some of the stores in that area close at 5:30 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. City Manager Osburn stated this was just a request for a license; the carnival company will be required to clear with the Police, Fire and City Building Inspection Departments before opening. Mayor Morgan said they were trying to help the Plaza; when these promotions are put on, he could see nothing gong with it. Councilman Hogue said the Mayor was right but there was no reason tc leave them in operation 4/3/59 L./ after the stores closed. Mayor I•Rorgan replies the carnivals have to be made profitable or they will not want to come bass:. Lorna Harris, 7181/ E. 6th Street, was present and said Montgomery Wara agreed tc let a carnival come in with the permission of the City Council and with a=_1 of the proceeds, the per- centage and the guarantee to go to the Chamber of Commerce to help with Salute to Navy Week; they have also agreed to do this for the Rodeo Association.

Moved by Hogue, the request be approved with •the understanding the carpeting will be kept as clean as the sidewalk. Motion died for lack of a second. City Manager Osburn said ordinance provides that sidewalks be of Portland Cement; if Council desired to allow this to be installed on an experimental basis, he would recommend they be informed they would have to come up with some kind of an insurance policy that meets the City Attorney's specifications regarding the City in case someone should stumble in the area; the City would check on it and if at any time they wanted it removed the company would have to remove it. Council- man Colburn stated he would agree with that; he was informed by some carpet people when the ground wasntt flat and it was wet it was more slippery than cement. Richard Badger, 2002 Dartmoor Drive, Lemon grove, representing Etha- nol, Inc., was present and said the sidewalk was flat with exception of twc or three humps located close to the face of the building; they would be happy to furnish information en insurance and recommendations by the carpet people. Mayor Morgan asked for a motion to accept the City I.:anagerts recommendation. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Camacho, the City Manager's recommendation be approved. Mr. Badger advised the Council of the type of business they were putting in National City; he said they were presently working with Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for a benefit two weeks after they open the club with all proceeds going to the foundation.
