Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the minutes of the regular meeting of May 20, 1969 be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. COUNCILMAN COLBURN stated he received two communications: one was dated May 9th, found on his desk today and must have been put there this morning or yesterday afternoon, and another dated May 19th; the one dated May 9th was received in sufficient time because it refers to activities being held Friday but the one dated May 19th refers to activities being held today which he was unable to attend because of not being informed in time; he was sure there was plenty of time for this information to be distributed to the Council members. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Hogue, the report that came from the City Mana- ger's office entitled, "A Study of Periodic Medical Examinations," made under the direction of former Assistant City Manager Parks be referred to the Financrr Committee for study and approval or disapproval. Carried by unanimous vote. COUNCILMAN HOGUE stated it was time they took aggressive action on the weed abatement ordinance; they should start on a weed abatement amendment; there are people who are upset about weeds growing close to their businesses and residences. Mayor Morgan asked the City Manager if that would be his recom- mendation on the youth. City Manager Osburn said that was a part of it; there will be some 50 - 60 young people here the latter part of next week; also the Fire Department is starting their annual weed abatement program. COUNCILMAN HOGUE asked what the obligation was of the City Police concerning accidents on private parking lots such as the ?laza, Alpha Beta, etc.; if there is an accident on private parking lots, what action does the police take or what can they do. Mayor Morgan asked the City Manager to give the Council a report. DAVID WIGNALL, 2819 E. llth Street, was present and commented on traffic haz- ards at 8th Street and Arcadia Place. Mr. Wignall stated when he took the original petition around it stated not just the 1511 Act was wanted by the people; they also said they wanted the red curbing; when Council voted for the petition they voted for the whole petition and not just part of it; they passed it when they passed the whole petition the first time and then they turned around and voted it (restrictive parking) down the second time; the second vote was illegal. EDITH SHERMAN, MANAGER, NATIONAL CITY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, was present and presented each Council member a miniature National City flag (for sale at the Chamber office) and a copy of their new National City book available at no charge. CARLIE MEYER, CITY LIBRARIAN, 252 5th Avenue, Chula Vista, was present and said according to the minutes of the City Council meeting of May 20th, she believed the Council wanted an explanation of an item which she submitted for the Agenda; this item was the proposed bill submitted by Assemblyman Wadie Deddeh to raise the applicable taxes which could be levied for the library 5/27/69 35 —tom 32C to 40C; this is a necessary item to the Library as they have their new addition going in and their expenses have risen during the last 10 - 15 years; because of the new addition their utility bill will be about twice what it presently is; it is impossible, without cutting services, to man the wing with the present staff; they would have to close at least two nights a week in order to do that; the price of books within the past 10 - 15 years has risen almost $3.00 for the average book; there have been proposed cuts in Title I and Title II funds; Title I funds are for services to library areaswhich are underprivileged so far as Library services are concerned; we are cooperating with the rest of the Serra System in a demonstration project which was origi- nally supposed to last two years. and which will extend reference services to the libraries in Imperial Valley which are badly in need of some sort of coop- eration with us because their facilities are so inadequate; in order to do this each participating library has received from Title I funds this year $5,000.00 to be used for reference materials; if this proposed cut comes through this will be a 50% cut in the funds; many systems will be out of funds entirely because it usually happens that the largest systems get the most money; the Title II funds are the Library Services & Construction Act; this has been pro- posed to be completely eliminated which means there can be no Federal or State help with any new library construction being proposed; we are fortunate in that we did use local funds for our construction; we will have to rely almost exclusively on local funds to maintain this educational institution; we will not be able to rely on the State Government nor Federal Government. Miss Meyer said she wrote to Assemblyman Deddeh explaining National City's situa- tion and sent a telegram to Assemblyman Tom Hem, talked with the State Librari- an and with the Executive Officer of CLA, all of whom are supporting this bill; it has now passed the Assembly and must now go to the Senate and from there to the Governor; this is why she feels it is necessary this be reconsidered by the Council because in recent Library surveys National City has the least per- sonnel of all of the participating libraries; this does not mean they would immediately take 40C out of every $100.00; it only means they were in a desper- ate situation now and do need a little more. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Camacho, the following twelve resolutions be pre- sented by title. Carried by unanimous vote. RESOLUTION NO. 9830, RESOLUTION RELEASING REESTRICTICNS (1837 'O' Avenue)." Moved by Colburn, seconded by Reid, the Resolution be adopted. Carried by unanimous vote. RESOLUTION NO. 9831, "RESOLUTION ADOPTING MAP SHOWING EXTERIOR BOUNDARIES CF ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (Arcadia Place and Pleasant Lane, Assessment District No. 169)." Moved by Hogue, seconded by Reid, the Resolution be adopted. Council- man Colburn stated in adopting resolutions pertaining to 1911 Acts, the law allows only the petition; any side benefits they might want (such as a new park or curbs painted red because of a traffic problem) has no bearing legally on a 1911 Act. City Attorney McLean said the effect of the petition, as we prepare the petitions here, is this: if they are signed by 61% of the proper- ty owners, the petition waives the hearing on the Debt Limitation and Majority Protest Act; it is up to the Council as the legislative body to decide what work will be done and how it will be assessed. Councilman Colburn said if any or all of the signers of the petition feel the reason they signed it was bases on the suggestion the curb be painted red for a particular traffic problem, they still have an opportunity to protest the project. City Attorney McLean said that was correct; they have a right to be heard at the hearing on the Res- olution of Intention and at the hearing to confirm the assessment. Motion to adopt the resolution carried by unanimous vote. RESOLUTION NO. 9832, "RESOLUTION ADOPTING PLANS AMID SPECIFICATIONS (ARCADIA PLACE AND PLEASANT LANS, Assessment District No. 16(;)."

Moved by Hogue, seconded by Reid, the report and resolution be filed. Coun- cilman Colburn said he hoped Council would consider supporting their request; he did not think the finances of our country are so the oil (if there is any off the San Diego coast area) is necessary and he would hate to experience the resulting ugliness as well as the possibility of the Santa Barbara condi- tion; he hoped the maker of the motion would consider instead of filing to authorize the City Attorney to draw a similar resolution. Motion to file the report and resolution carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Hogue, Reid, Morgan. Nays: Colburn. A communication from CINDY GIBSON and LORI ANN WATTS expressing appreciation for the honor shown them (winners of MYRA), was presented. Ordered filed by unanimous vote. A communication from the FIRE CHIEF recommending approval of the public fire- works display in Kimball. Park July 3-4, 196S which will be co -sponsored by the National City Lions Club and the City of National City and will be con- ducted by the San Diego Fireworks Company, was presented. Moved by Reid, seconded by Hogue, this item be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. The HEARING ON AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA, RELATIVE TO THE USE OR CONVERSION OF RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES 5/27/69 57 iC A COMMERCIAL, MANUFACTURING, INDUSTRIAL OR ASSEMBLY USE was held at this time. Deputy City Clerk Fasig stated the Certificate of Publication was on file and the Planning Commission recommendation (the attached amendment to the Zoning Ordinance relating to the use of residential structures as an assembly building or commercial, manufacturing or industrial use be approved and recommended to the City Council) and proposed amendment were attached to the Agenda. Director of Planning Stockman said the public hearing was on an amendment to the zoning ordinance which would define a dwelling unit and an assembly building and would also set up the criteria for the Planning Comm- ission to work with property owners to convert a residential structure, chang- ing architectural design and the proposed land development for commercial usage in a commercial zone; it would also give the City Council the right up- on recommendation of the Planning Commission to permit a residential structure in the proper zone to be converted to an assembly building such as a church or gathering place; it would give the Council and Planning Commission rights to work with the property owners to prepare for traffic increase and parking problems; in both cases it would give the Planning Commission and the City Council the right to take under consideration architectural design of the structure; the vote was unanimous with four members present and one vacancy on the commission. Councilman Hogue said he didn't think they should contin- ue using what appears to be a residence for a business establishment; the reason he suggested this was the fact that if someone wants to use a residence for some other purpose than to live in, the appearance should be changed so that it does not appear as a residence; he thought this would upgrade the appearance of the City. No one was present in this regard. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Hogue, the hearing be closed, the recommendation of the Planning Commission be approved and it be referred to the proper authorities for fur- ther processing. Carried by unanimous vote. A communication from the DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION recommending a free swim program be established from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on either Tuesdays or Thursdays (or both days) throughout the summer season, was presented. Moved by Colburn, the recommendation be denied. Motion died for lack of second. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid, the recommendation be approved. Council- man Camacho said Tuesdays and Thursdays were slow and he thought the young- sters who could not afford to pay should be given an opportunity to use the pool. Councilman Hogue said they were not deciding whether or not it was one or two days; he was for this but before he voted for it he would like to know the guidelines to be used; before deciding on this they should have Director of Parks & Recreation Maley tell them what his ideas were regarding what children he would let swim on these days; it may come to the point where they open it up for all children on these two days. City Manager Osburn said this was in response to a request last fall by Council asking if it was possible to open the pool for a free swim for some of the children who couldn't afford it; whether or not they could afford it would be very hard to determine; it would be almost impossible to administer a program of this sort; if Council desired, they could go ahead and open it up and if they do run into problems they could restrict it to age groups such as ages 6 - 10 on Tuesdays and 10 - 14 on Thursdays. Councilman Hogue said he thought City Manager Osburn was right; they should open it up for all children making no difference as to what the income was if the City could stand the tax strain. Mayor Morgan asked if they could open this up and if they had problems could they be solve' at a later date. City Manager Osburn replied they could. Councilman Colburn said he was against the motion because as it stands it is open to everyone and he did not think National City was in a position to open for a free swim for everyone; they were talking about the whole County who could reach the area; the service clubs of National City could find underprivileged children who could be sponsored on a particular swim night. Councilman Hogue asked to have the motion read back. Deputy City Clerk Fasig said the motion was "the recommendation be approved." Councilman Hogue said there was nothing in the motion that said whether or not it would be one night or two nights. Council- man Camacho said he would include both days in his motion. Included in seco,.. Councilman Hogue inquired if the motion would allow all children to swim these two days. Mayor Morgan said it meant they would be open for all child ren if they wanted to swim between 4:00 and 5:00 on these days. City Manage.. 5/27/69 68 Osburn said they could separate them by age or have girls in one day and bc., the next. Motion to approve the recommendation on both days carried by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Hogue, Reid, Morgan. Nays: Colburn- A communication from the UTILITIES DEPARTMENT, CITY OF SAN DIEGO, giving the proposed schedule of the industrial wastes monitoring program, was presented. City Manager Osburn stated this relates to the schedule for running a chemi- cal analysis; there is a $50.00 charge on each of the inspections; he recom- mended the City pay the $50.00 for inspection from the Sewer Service Fund; if there is a violation, the one making the violation would have to pay the $50.00. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Camacho, the City Manager's and Mr. Biggs' recommendation be approved. Councilman Colburn inquired if the compan- ies listed were the only ones felt necessary to be checked. City Manager Osburn replied yes, San Diego had been doing this and they feel these are the only ones who would be dropping chemicals into the sewerage system. Council- man Colburn inquired if the $50.00 per sample was per company and not per item listed against the company. City Manager Osburn said that was correct. Councilman Colburn inquired what the total annual cost was. City Manager Osburn replied they had tentatively budgeted $3,000.00. Councilman Colburn inquired what happens if a company was found in violation. City Manager Os - burn replied the City would receive a report from the City of San Diego re- garding this and then bill the company for $50.00; we send each company that comes in which looks suspicious (to our Building Department), to the City of San Diego to get a clearance to dump into the sewer system; they know what they can and cannot dump into the system before they go into business; there have been accidential spills where they had to wash it down the sewer system and in this case the City of San Diego would apply the penalty, if there is one. Councilman Colburn said in other words, this was an additional $3,000.00 it would cost the City because these people might make a mistake now and then; you might call this our policing protection. Councilman Colburn inquired if there was room for an increase in their business licenses or any other possi- bility to offset that cost. City Manager Osburn said there was nothing al- though 25% of their water bill is paid as a sewer service charge. Motion to approve the recommendation carried by unanimous vote. Communications from (1) CITY MANAGER regarding Legislative Bulletin dated May 16, 1969 (Item 1 relates to the resolution from the Town of Emeryville) and (2) TOWN OF EMERYVILLE asking National City join them by adoption of a resolution in safeguarding the right of cities to control zoning within their boundaries, were presented. City Manager Osburn said the League of California Cities had not taken a definite stand on the first item (SB 839) other than the fact they are for the double veto; it would allow the Bay Fill Commission and the cities in which the operation is to take effect to have veto power over the other decision to put a certain type industry or certain type build- ing within their jurisdiction; this is the only thing the League has support- ed yet; he thought the bill will have many changes before finally becoming law; there is not much we can do regarding it at this time. Ordered filed by unanimous vote. The CITY ATTORNEY stated Agenda Item 6 under New Business (Communication fret Serra Regional Library System stating Joint Powers Agreement expires 6/30/69 and urging adoption of resolutions by City Councils authorizing City Managers to sign renewal) had been taken care of.

City Manager Osburn said there will be another week before their meeting; he would get this to them tomorrow. Councilman Colburn suggested the City Manager contact the Chairman of the Traffic Safety Committee informing him in advance this item will be on their agenda and he might be able to appoint someone to check with Mr. Escalante to ascertain the intent of his request. Mayor Morgan said he would like them to also study two fifteen minute parking spaces in this location; there are several businesses there.

CITY MANAGER OSBURN said they had three different programs using young peopl'i to work on a summer basis; Sweetwater Union High School asked the City to use some of their senior students on a two hour a day basis; he believed they re- ferred only to the school year; he recommended the City be prepared to hire 10 or 15 young people for the purpose of giving them some experience in actu.::_ office work; they will try to use two in the equipment and maintenance shop to give them some experience before they graduate from high school; this should be relatively low in cost as it is only two hours a day.

City Manager Osburn said they had the right to request Naticr al City young people and on the program with the Neighborhood Youth Corps (third program) they could request National City young people.

Councilman 5/27/69 71 lburn inquired if they had entered into all three programs previously. City Manager Osburn replied the City had not entered into the Sweetwater Uni- High School program previously; this is the first year in San Diego for Job Fair; there will be a large gathering of people at the Community Concourse cn June 4th; the City will have a representative there and only National City people will be referred to our representative (who will be doing the hiring). Motion to approve the City Manager's recommendation carried by unanimous vote. DEPUTY CITY CLERK FASIG reported receipt of the report of the San Diego County Assessor regarding 8C69-37 Proposed "Lee's Fashions, Inc. Annexation" to the San Diego County Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 which was on file in the City Clerk's office; copies were referred to the City Engineer and the Director of Planning. DEPUTY CITY CLERK FASIG reported receipt of a communication from the office of the Auditor and Controller to all agencies whose Special Assessments will be collected on the 1969-70 County tax roll regarding procedure for process- ing Special Assessments and was on file in the City Clerk's office; copies were referred to the City Manager and City Treasurer. DEPUTY CITY CLERK FASIG reported receipt of a communication from the City of Los Angeles enclosing a copy of the report of the Public, Health and Welfare Committee recommending the filing of a communicaticn from National City rela- tive to the control and entrance of minors into Mexico and the narcotics and dangerous drug problem in California, etc. and was on file in the City Clerk's office. A communication from the DIRECTOR OF PLANNING regarding the appeal of the Planning Commission decision relative to the release of monies deposited to raze a structure at 2785 E. 16th Street and requesting the Council take this matter under advisement with determination either to uphold the Planning Commission or refund monies deposited with the City Treasurer (Copies of communications from the Director of Building and Housing, the City Attorney and the Progress Construction Company were attached to the Agenda), was pre- sented. Moved by Hogue, the Council go on record saying since we gave him permission to build this house if he razed the other building, the older building be razed. Councilman Colburn inquired if he was recommending the same as the Planning Commission. Councilman Hogue said he was. Seconded by Colburn. Mayor Morgan said he thought this item should be referred to Build- ing and Planning and see if it could be brought up to the standards of a guest house because they did not know exactly what a guest house was. City Attorney McLean said the Zoning Ordinance says a guest house is a house that does not have cooking facilities; the Zoning Ordinance does not state the guest house is of any certain size or contains any certain number of rooms; whether or not this building is in fact going to be used as a guest house is a question that can only be answered by studying the use that it is going to be put to; there was apparently a statement made by one of the owners that they have intentions to rent which would be a violation of City law. Council- man Colburn said we made an agreement with them and if we stick by the agree ment we will not need to worry about whether or not they are going to use this for a rental as they stated; if they have anything further to add, their appearance before the Council would be welcomed. Councilman Camacho said Council has granted many movings of buildings with certain conditions and to this date they have not had a report as to whether or not the people complied with the conditions; he thought they should police these things and a report be brought to the Council so they would know the obligations have been com- plied with. Councilman Camacho inquired how many days were given to build and then to raze the older building. Director of Planning Stockman said no time limit was placed upon the time he would have to complete his new struc- ture; the existing building was to be razed within a period of time not to exceed 60 days from occupancy of the new dwelling; they have been in the new dwelling approximately a month. Vice Mayor Reid inquired who signed the agreement. Director of Planning Stockman replied it was signed by the con- tractor acting as agent for the owner. Vice Mayor Reid inquired if it was true the owner says he knows nothing about it. Mrs. Stockman said that was 5/27/69 correct. Vice Mayor Reid said he did net feel they had legal authority tc place conditions on it until it was referrer back to A.anning and Building. Carried by the follcwing vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Colburn, Hogue, Morgan. Nays: Reid. COUNCILMAN COL3URN said a letter, dated May 13tn, was received from the Pres- ident cf the National City Municipal Employees Association and inquired if the letter would be considered in Finance Committee :Meetings. City Manager Osburn said he thought he mentioned this last week on the agenda; they would see the Association gets all of its rights under Section 3501. COUNCILMAN CCLSURA said he received a letter dater. Play 27th from Councilman William Hogue addressed to the Mayor and City Council; he inquired if it was the Council's privilege to take action or should it be taken with the Redevel- opment Agency. Councilman Hogue said he was appointed by the Council and he was turning in his resignation as a member of the Urban Redevelopment Board; he was requesting the Council to relieve him from his duty on the Board since they were the ones who put him there. City Attorney McLean said he was not prepared to say if this resignation could be carried out. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Reid, this letter be referred to the City Attorney for a report back to Council at the next regular Council meeting. Councilman Hogue stated this was an unnecessary action. Councilman Colburn said he had no objection to accepting the resignation; he would include in the motion they accept Mr. Hogue's resignation from the Redevelopment Agency and it be referred to the City Attorney for proper procedure of handling. Seconded by Hogue. Mayor Morgan said there was a motion on the floor. City Attorney McLean said he wanted to have an opportunity for a careful evaluation of the question as ultimately when the renewal project is completed they anticipate selling bonds and at that time all of the proceedings will be reviewed by our bond counsel; if the membership of the Redevelopment Agency is found at that late date not to be properly constituted then they will have done a lot of work and not have the ability to pay for it. Councilman Colburn said he would leave the motion as it stands and expect by next week they would be legally advised as to what method to take. Councilman Hogue read his letter of resignation.
