MISS LAURA KOJIMA, 1230 Palmer Way, was present an. presented tickets for the San Diego Youth Symphony Orchestra Benefit Concert to the members of the City Council and. various City officials. Miss =;ojima said the group was raising money to finance a trip to Switzerland where they have been invited to play this summer; the Cultural Committee cf the Chamber of Commerce is helping them with a concert in National City Sunday, March 16th, 8:00 p.m., at the San Diego Academy.

COUNCILMAN CAI•RACHC reported on his trip to Washington, D.C. to receive the Distinguished Service Award awarded the City for the Clean Up Contest; he presented the award to the Mayor who accepter: it cn behalf of the City and said Councilman Camacho had done a good job representing the City. The Mayor said this was a national contest and Haze+_ Stockman, Director of Planning, had done an outstanding job on this project. VICE MAYOR HOGUE stated there should be an amendment to Zoning Ordinance 962; the ordinance places a restriction on the type of businesses that can go into residential dwellings; excluded from the ordinance are churches and things of that nature; the City has no control over the parking situation or outward appearance. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Cclburn, the Planning Comm- ission be directed to give a recommendation regarding an amendment to Ordi- nance No. 962 so the City would be able tc have some say about these two problems (parking and outward appearance) cf converting residential dwellings into a building where regular meetings of citizens are held. Councilman Camacho stated he thought our present ordinance covered this area. Director of Planning Stockman said the present ordinance does not let a residential use in the Commercial, Manufacturing and Industrial use be used for anything but living quarters unless the characteristics have been changed; she felt what Vice Mayor Hogue was talking about col6- be worked out very easily under the Planned Development Permit; they were having trouble of residences being used for meeting places without providing off street parking. Mayor Morgan inquired if the City had parking requirements for churches. Mrs. Stockman said there was a requirement of one for every ten seats. Carried by unani- mous vote. VICE MAYOR HOGUE stated the art objects displayed in the Civic Center (Art Show by National City Art Association through month of March) added to the splendor of the building; however, he objected to the 157 nail holes driven into the walls for the hanging of the pictures and he hoped they did not lay themselves open to this again. City Manager Osburn said they either had tc put up molding or put in the nails; the nails were put in carefully and they did not believe they would show at all in the papered, textured walls; they no doubt will have a small spot in the plaster board walls; he did not be- lieve that would be a serious repair. 3/4/69 271 MAYOR MORGAN thanked the Art Committee an? especially Mrs. Adams (President, National City Art Association) for the work they did in preparing the art show; there has been a large crowd in the Civic Center for the show and he was impressed; there were many National City residents who were in our new Civic Center for the first time; the Art Association keeps someone in the building all day long to take care of the paintings and provide guide service to visitors. MAYOR MORGAN said he was happy to announce that Joe Minogue was President of the South Bay Historical Society; the Society works in keeping the history of National City; National City has a lot of history and as much as possible should be retained. MAYOR MORGAN announced the Local Agency Formation Commission approved the annexation of the 2 acres of the Bonita Golf Course to the City; however, he was disturbed because although the City cf Chula 7ista told National City they would not oppose the annexation they sent their City Attorney to request the Commission to set this aside until they could work out an agreement with National City to pay them their part of the sewer because they planned this area to be annexed to their city; this was ridiculous. JOE MINOGUE, 803 Etnel Place, was present and said in planning the art show they consulted with the staff regarding the possioility of easels for display but 157 easels would not fit in the building; they hoped the National City Art Association would have a permanent display in the Civic Center and some of the holes could be covered up at all times by paintings; this will make the building a little more beautiful. Mr. Minogue said the City of National City and the City cf Chula Vista each gave an award for the painting most representative of the city; hanging in the corner of the Council Chambers was the painting selected for National City. Mr. Minogue introduced Mrs. Phyllis Camolin, the painter. Mrs. Camblin presented the painting (the old fire station built in 191 ) to the Mayor for the City of National City. Mrs. Douglas Adams, President, National City Art Association, 3017 E. 8th Street, was present and said the painting would be needed for a KOGO program next Sunday (March 9th). DAVID WIGNALL, 281; H. llth Street, was present and requested condemnation of the field bounded on the north by 8th Street, the south by Plaza, the west by Euclid and the east by a half street which is the dead end of Arcadia ?lace; the field is owned by Ar. Granger, Jr. who lives in Los Angeles and there is a sanitary problem there which has made several people ill. Mayor Morgan said he believed the property Mr. Wignall was s?eaing of was the one pro- posed for 250 apartments; the City would check into it. DAVID WIGNALL, 2319 E. llth Street, stated he attended a meeting of the Traffic Safety Committee and so far as he could see no one there, except Chief Cagle, knew what he was doing; they were incompetent; he requested an investigation of the committee.

A communication from ACTING CITY MANAGER AR:,S regarding the educational tele- vision program over Channel 15, was presented. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Reid, the reqdest to participate in the program be granted. Vice Mayor Hogue said he would like two points clarified: whether this would count for credit on merit steps; an& the length of service the employees attending the school have left for use by the City should have a bearing on their taking the course; in other words, someone with 3 or 4 years to go should be excluded but someone with 10 or 15 years should be included. City Manager Osburn said this would be the criteria for picking the people; they would try not to choose someone who was going to be with the City only a short time; they did not intend. to use it tc train people who were gcing to retire or to go some- where else tc find another job; it was not his intention this should apply on the merit system. Moved by Hogue, seconded b, Cclourn, the motion be amended to the effect a list of the people whc would, be participating be pre- sented to the Council and people who do participate would not be able to count this toward merit steps unless they compensated (by money) for the time they took off from City employment.

Councilman Colburn said he would agree with that; he did not think this would give anyone merit credits; this has to do with leadership ability; this is a means of educating leaders and staff leaders to be able to direct the employees under them; he hoped Vice Mayor Hogue would consider removing that part of the amendment just so they wouldn't confuse any employees into thinking they might be able to apply this toward merit.
