ed to order at 7:30 p.m. by Mayor Morgan. Council members present: Camacho,
Colburn, Hogue, Reid, Morgan. Absent: None.
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS present: Foster, McLean, Minogue, Associate Civil

DISCUSSION OF TRAFFIC MARKINGS ON 8TH STREET took place at this time. The
City Clerk reported a petition opposing any further red curbs on 8th Street
between I Avenue and Freeway 5 signed by operators of businesses on 8th Street
(61 signatures) was received as well as a letter from Dr. George Ury pleading
that stores on 8th Street not be deprived of parking. Moved by Colburn, in
view of the Council's action of two weeks ago (no red curbing be painted on
8th Street until the study was made after the street was completed and approved
by Council) the items be filed. Died for lack of second. Associate Civil
Engineer Newberry stated several maps were prepared by the Engineering Dept.
for the marking of 8th Street: the one being considered provides for left
turn refuges at the entrance to the Freeway, at Roosevelt, at "D" and at High-
land. GEORGE WATERS, 1342 Carol Place (Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce
Streets and Highways Committee) was present and stated he was asked by the
President of the Chamber to present the Chamber's stand; they oppose any fur-
ther red curbs between "I" Avenue and Freeway 5 and recommend none of the pres-
ent parking be eliminated from 8th Street; petitions were circulated to the
business people asking if they favor a parking assessment district. Mr. Waters
said although the Streets and Highways Committee took no action in this regard
at their meeting, the members were polled and they oppose further red curbing.
CITY MANAGER OSBURN said other cities with parking districts were contacted
and the cost of off-street parking of a little over a half block was about a
half -million dollars. HOWARD HARRIS, attorney at law, 1019 National Avenue,
representing SIDNEY RUBIN of Sid's Carpet Barn, was present and said Mr. Rubin
has been in business in National City for over 18 years and employs 25 persons;
most of his customers come from outside National City; an important part of
his business is the parking available in front of the store. Mr. Harris said
when the improvement and widening of 8th Street through a 1911 Act was dis-
cussed no mention was made of red curbing and left turn lanes; the purpose of
widening 8th Street was to alleviate the need for red curbs; heavy weight
should be given to the needs of National City's small businessmen; there was
little or no need for a left turn refuge at Roosevelt; at best there is a
traffic problem during the rush hours only. MAYOR MORGAN said 18,000 cars a
day pass over 8th Street, 12,000 of which go beyond National City's limits.
TED HETH, owner of Ted's Donut Shop, 336 East 8th Street, was present and said
he has operated his business on 8th Street for eleven years; 90% of his busi-
ness pulls up to the curb, parks for a few minutes and then leaves; it would
kill his business if red curbs and a left turn refuge were established at the
corner of D Avenue. LORNA HARRIS, 7181 East 8th Street, owner of Lorna's
Flowers, was present and stated since 8th Street was widened they see no tie
up of traffic; many of her customers come in during rush hours and she felt
there should be no red curbs until needed. HOWARD P. ELLIS, Chairman of the
Traffic Safety Committee, was present and stated there has been misunderstand-
ing; at the Mayor's informal meeting on the marking of 8th Street he (Howard
Ellis) stated the Traffic Safety Committee submitted a plan to the Council;
the N. C. Star -News of June 29th said no plan was presented to the Council;
Mr. Ellis read the recommendation contained in the June llth minutes of the
7/1/69
:,raffic Safety Committee Minutes which were on the Council Agenda two week::
ago. Mr. Ellis continued he was appointed by the Council to the Committee
and he felt he had acted honorably in discharging his duties; the newspaper
inferred that he was putting personal, financial interest before the interes
of the City. Mr. Ellis said he asked Chief Cagle if no red curbs on 8th
Street would be a detriment to safety and the Chief said no but it would slow
down traffic; had Chief Cagle's answer been different he would have advocated
red curbing. Mr. Ellis said, speaking officially, that before a problem can
be solved, there has to be a problem; no one has demonstrated there is a prob-
lem on 8th Street. Mr. Ellis read a 1966 letter in which the Traffic Safety
Committee recommended no left turn lanes on streets less than 80 feet in
width; the Chief of Police approved this recommendation; 8th Street widened
is only 64 feet wide. Mr. Ellis read a letter from J. Dekema, District Engi-
neer, Division of Highways, which stated no street under 70 feet wide should
be red curbed. Mr. Ellis said another member of the TSC had a traffic count
which he made on 8th Street. CHARLES GREEN, 1244 X Avenue, member of the TSC,
was present and said he had two statements: 1. there is no traffic hazard
on 8th Street and 2. if the parking was lost, it would be an economic blow
to National City. Mr. Green said he went to Mr. Dekema's office and talked
to Mr. Chaney who said normally traffic should flow through an intersection
at the rate of one car per second; Mr. Green continued he personally observed
at peak rush hour about 26 cars at the intersection of 8th and Highland for
each light change, 20 or 21 of them were on 8th Street, and those making left
turns cleared the intersection within 4 seconds. ROGER STEELE, 338 East 8th
Street, was present and stated he came to the Mayor's informal meeting with
an open mind and he left completely opposed to red curbing; the cost of widen-
ing 8th Street was high but he agreed to it on the basis that there would be
no red curbing; at the intersection of 8th and D there was no problem with
cars trying to turn left; it would be a financial loss if they lost their
parking spaces on the street. ASSOC. CIVIL ENGR. NEWBERRY stated their studies
reveal there are 184 parking spaces available on 8th Street from the Freeway
to I Avenue, the plan presently proposed would only eliminate 28 of them;
this does not include bus stops; there still would be 156 parking places. Mr.
Newberry read a letter from the Chief of Police which stated there were 24
accidents at the intersection of 8th and Highland during the calendar year
1968. COUNCILMAN CAMACHO said considering the large number of cars passing
the intersection every day the number of accidents was low; when the widen-
ing of 8th Street was proposed it was so there could be parking on 8th; the
Council should stimulate business, not hamper it. MAYOR MORGAN stated hear-
ings were scheduled for 8:00 p.m. and the discussion of 8th Street would con-
tinue after the hearings.
USE DISTRICT HEARING ON THE PROPOSED ZONE CHANGE TO RECLASSIFY FROM AN R-2,
TWO FAMILY RESIDENCE ZONE, TO AN R-4-PD, MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PLANNED
DEVELOPMENT ZONE on the area from Bth Street to llth Street from the proposed
alignment of Interstate 805 and Euclid, excluding any property presently es-
tablished in a commercial zone was held at this time. The City Clerk report-
ed the Certificate of Publication and Affidavit of Posting the notice of the
hearing were on file. The City Clerk reported a protest petition containing
91 signatures was received and referred to the Director of Planning. Dir. of
Planning Stockman displayed a map of the area and stated the original appli-
cation for the zone change was for a smaller area, the Planning Commission
felt it would be "spot zoning" and recommended a larger area; the protests
received were from the area not included within the original application and
represented 45% of the owners. Mrs. Stockman stated at the May 26th meeting
the Planning Commission voted unanimously to deny the request. SARAH RUSSELL,
representing the owner of property at 2112 East 3th Street, was present and
stated the persons who signed the petition were misinformed; she would like
to have the original small area re -zoned. OSWALD CRUZ, 945 Paradise Drive,
was present and said the Council just heard one individual, there are 185
owners in the area and they have a right to live on their property without
taxes going up; when the Freeway comes through there will be changes made;
many people will suffer if the change in zone is made. COUNCILMAN COLBURN
inquired if the new Freeway will interfere and if some of the protesters would.
be cut off from the area then; also what did the General Plan specify for the
area. Dir. of Planning Stockman said the General Plan recommended the area
7/1/69
ce low density and the Freeway would cause changes in the area. Moved by
Hogue, seconded by Reid, the hearing be closed and the recommendation of the
Planning Commission be approved. Carried by unanimous vote.
HEARING ON RESOLUTION NO. 9833, RESOLUTION OF INTENTION (ARCADIA PLACE AND
PLEASANT LANE, ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 169) was held at this time. The City
Clerk reported the Certificate of Publication and Affidavits of Mailing and
Posting notices were on file. The City Clerk reported one protest was received
from Mr. and Mrs. ROBERT W. KRAELING, 827 Pleasant Lane. City Engineer Fos-
ter reported the protest represented 2.1% of the area. DAVID WIGNALL, 2819
East llth St., was present and stated the petition circulated for the improve-
ment of Arcadia Place was also for red curb at 8th and Arcadia; the Council
approved this when they approved the petition; it went to the TSC two times
and the second time the Council denied the red curbing. COUNCILMAN COLBURN
stated the City Attorney ruled that a petition for a 1411 Act could not con-
tain statements regarding red curbs. MRS. PERXIOS, 844 Pleasant Lane, was
present and asked the cost of her assessment. Assoc. Civil Engr. Onley stated.
the estimated cost was $833. DAVID WIGNALL suggested the Council search back
into the City records for the vote on the petition to clarify what he was
talking about. gloved by Colburn, seconded by Hogue, the hearing be closed
and the two resolutions be read by title. Carried by unanimous vote.
RESOLUTION NO. 9866, "RESOLUTION ORDERING WORK, (Arcadia Place and Pleasant
Lane, Assessment District No. 169)," Moved by Camacho, seconded by Colburn,
the Resolution be adopted. Carried by unanimous vote.
RESOLUTION NO. 9867, "RESOLUTION ADOPTING WAGE SCALE (Arcadia Place and
Pleasant Lane, Assessment District No. 169)." Moved by Reid, seconded by
Camacho, the Resolution be adopted. Carried by unanimous vote.

(8th Street, "K" Avenue to easterly line of Railway, Assessment District No.
165)," reduction of total contract price in the amount of $7,116.00, was held
at this time. The City Clerk reported the Affidavit of Mailing and Certifi-
cate of Publication were on file. No one was present in this regard. City
Attorney McLean stated the original plan called for underground conduit sys-
tem for fire alarm, it was found this was not necessary; Mr. Penick, the con-
tractor, agreed to omit the conduit and the City Engineer and the City Attor-
ney recommend this be done. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Camacho, the hear-
ing be closed and the recommendation of the City Engineer and the City Attor-
ney be approved. Carried by unanimous vote.
MAYOR MORGAN stated before resuming the discussion on 8th Street, he would
allow Councilman Overton of Coronado (Chairman of the Bridge Opening Cere-
monies Committee) who was present to speak. COUNCILMAN JOE OIERTON said as
Chairman of the Bridge Committee he wrote letters to the City Councils and
Mayors in each of the cities of the South Bay requesting financial participa-
tion in the floral decorations for the BRIDGE OPENING CEREMONIES LUNCHEON
using the official flowers of the Cities; he also met with the Mayors; he
was not aware at the time that there would be difficulty in obtaining these
flowers (Crown of Bohemia Hibiscus, orchids, bird of paradise) in abundance
for the decorations. Mr. Overton said several weeks ago he met with City
Manager Osburn and Councilman Colburn and he took the liberty of asking Mr.
Colburn to serve on the Sub -Committee for Decorations; shortly thereafter
without his (Mr. Overton's) knowledge the Sub -Committee met and discussed the
flowers to be used; George Maguire, chairman of the sub -committee, advised
them the flowers would not be available in the quantities necessary and the
committee voted to use the San Diego County official flower, the carnation;
Mr. Colburn brought this back to your body for approval. Mr. Overton said
when he learned of the Council's action in regard to the change of flowers he
talked to Mr. Maguire who advised him that in August it would be hard to c anc,
by a large number of orchids. GEORGE MAGUIRE, Coronado, was present and dis-
played a sample table decoration to be used at the luncheon and stated they
were not at war with National City, they were merely asking reconsideration
of funding the centerpieces; use of the various city official flowers was not
7/1/69
100
rractical. Mr. Maguire said he contacted the orchid growers in National
stating they would need approximately 150 centerpieces in August; he was to-:_'
this was not the productive period of the orchid. Moved by Colburn, seconder:
by Hogue, the Council consider the request of Mr. Overton and Mr. Maguire
that National City not tie mony down to the use of orchids and authorize
$300.00 expenditure to be used at the discretion of the Table Decorations
Committee. LORNA HARRIS, 7181 E. 8th St., stated she was asked by city offic-
ials to ascertain if orchids would be available in August; orchids would be
available by the box (approx. 30 to 40 orchids) at $15.00 each, or about 370
each. GEORGE MAGUIRE suggested a possible solution; table decorations to be
of carnations, but orchids used with the City Seal which would be displayed
at the luncheon; the difficulty was not only with the orchids...it would be
impossible to obtain quantities of Crown of Bohemia Hibiscus representing
Coronado. LORNA HARRIS said she checked with Ridgeway Orchid Growers and
they would be unable to furnish quantities of orchids in August; it was grow-
ers from Los Angeles and San Francisco who would be able to do so. MAYOR
MORGAN said the orchid is the official City Flower and when spending $300.00
for these table decorations, we should stick to the orchid. COUNCILMAN
CAMACHO said we should try to cooperate and do our share. Motion carried by
the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Colburn, Hogue. Nays: Reid,
Morgan.
THE DISCUSSION OF TRAFFIC MARKINGS ON 8TH STREET was continued at this time.
MAYOR MORGAN asked Councilman Colburn if he would consider in his original
motion the hiring of outside consultant. COUNCILMAN COLBURN said he did not
think it was necessary; the traffic count would bear out the facts. CITY
MANAGER OSBURN said an outside study would probably cost $300-400. ASSOCIATE
CIVIL ENGINEER NEWBERRY said outside consultants would be starting work for
the City on July 15. COUNCILMAN HOUGE said he remembered when 8th Street was
started, the City said it would have to be red curbed unless it was widened;
so far as he was concerned parking should be allowed. Moved by Hogue, second-
ed by Colburn, no red curbs are to be Painted on 8th Street until we find out
there is necessity for left turn lanes. COUNCILMAN CAMACHO said the people
should be allowed to have their parking. VICE MAYOR REID asked Mr. Newberry
how many parking spaces were made available by angle parking on the side
streets. Mr. Newberry said 89 spaces; this plus the 184 spaces was 273; less
the 28 needed for left turns, there would be 245 spaces in the general area.
MAYOR MORGAN said he thought the Chamber of Commerce was out of order; it was
a little ridiculous for them to come in and fight over a few lanes where only
a few spaces would be deleted; the Streets and Highways Committee never made
any recommendation but laid the matter over. Motion carried by the following
vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Colburn, Hogue. Nays: Reid, Morgan. Several
people in the audience indicated a desire to speak. Moved by Hogue, seconded
by Reid, to continue with the Council's business. Carried by the following
vote, to -wit: Ayes: Camacho, Colburn, Hogue, Reid. Nays: Morgan.
COUNCILMAN COLBURN said some time ago the Council voted not to paint any red
curbs on 8th Street, also when the same item was brought back within a short
period of time, the Council would be polled as to whether or not the item
should be back on the Agenda, and asked how in view of the Council's previous
action this item re markings on 8th Street got on the Agenda. Councilman
Colburn said he never heard anything about the Mayor's meeting Thursday night
nor the fact the item was to be on the Agenda. Councilman Colburn said he
charged the administration with not operating to the benefit of the City or
within the wishes of the Council. Mayor Morgan said he asked to have the item
on the Agenda and that Council authorized his informal meeting last Thursday.
COUNCILMAN COLBURN asked to have a feasibility study of one-way alleys in the
downtown area. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Morgan, the matter of feasibil-
ity of one-way alleys in the downtown area be referred to the City Manager
and if he thinks necessary to the Traffic Safety Committee. Carried by unan-
imous vote.
MOVED BY COLBURN, seconded by Hogue, the matter of an amendment to ordinance
to require carnivals to pay for police supervision on the basis of so many
police to so many people and public events, or carnivals we have had problems
7/1/69
0,,
;;ith, be approved at least two weeks in advance be referred to the City Ma:-.-
ger for a report. Councilman Colburn said his motion was based on the Polio•
Chief's report to the City Manager dated June 17th in regard to carnivals;
he suggested copies of the proposed resolution or ordinance be sent to all
businessmen who utilize carnivals. Carried by the following vote, to -wit:
Ayes: Camacho, Colburn, Hogue, Reid. Nays: Morgan.
COUNCILMAN HOGUE inquired if there was a time limit in our ordinance govern-
ing razing of buildings; he was concerned with the building on the SW corner
of 8th and National. City Attorney McLean said it might be implied. City
Manager Osburn said the Building Inspector was there today and a report could
be made. Councilman Hogue suggested setting a time limit of 60-90 days.
COUNCILMAN CAMACHO reported National City hosted Tecate youth Sunday; 75 were
fed for a total of $47.61; National City won the ballgame 19-1; everyone had
a wonderful time. MAYOR MORGAN thanked Councilman Camacho for the outstnad-
ing job he did and also commended Mr. and Mrs. Ruben Rubio and Mr. and Mrs.
Carlos Martinez for their part in the program.
MAYOR MORGAN reported Vice Mayor Reid and the Mayor were on the EOC Board for
the past year and would serve again at the pleasure of the Council. Moved by
Hogue, seconded by Camacho, the Mayor and Vice Mayor serve on the EOC Board.
Carried by unanimous vote.
LOU TOMPKINS, 2227 East 16th Street, was present and stated Mr. Hogue spoke
about what he planned to bring up --the time allowed for razing of the build-
ing at 8th and National; he brought out of town investors to the Redevelopment
Area and showed them improvements in the City, including the widening of 8th
Street; one man was here on two occasions over a month apart and was shocked
to see the building in about the same condition. Mr. Tompkins said if a time
limit is established, allowance could be made for salvage.
DAVID WIGNALL, 2819 E. llth Street, spoke in regard to the Council's action
to participate in the City -County Camp program in the amount of $1,600 and
said National City should have representation on their Board. Mayor Morgan
said the County Board of Supervisors have representation on the Board and to
that extent National City is represented. Moved by Morgan, the action of
participating in the amount of $1,600 be rescinded. Died for lack of second.
Moved by Colburn, seconded by Camacho, the resolutions be read by title.

nance be by title. Carried by unanimous vote. The title was read. Moved by

asked if changes were made. City Attorney McLean said it was discussed with
the Chief of Police and Lt. Liesman and it was his conclusion they were satis-
fied to go ahead and if later modifications are desired the ordinance may be
amended. Councilman Hogue asked if the Chief will inform applicants they
can appeal to the Council. City Attorney McLean said if an application is
rejected or refused the applicant has the right to appeal. Motion carried by
unanimous vote.
