CITY ATTORNEY McLEAN stated he was not ready to report on the matter of the regulation of tow trucks. J. W. KIRBY, 115 E. 18th Street (Vice President, National Avenue Businessmens Association), was present and read a letter, dated February 1, 1967, signed by NABA President, John Shores, listing the objectives of the Association and recommending: (1) The city is urged to enforce all safety and building codes presently in existence in order to upgrade the commercial property in the downtown area. (2) The city should take steps to encourage outside financial investments to locate in the downtown area. (3) This Association wishes to reaffirm the Chamber of Commerce recommendation for diagonal parking on all side streets adjoining Eighth Street from "A" to "G" excepting D Avenue. (4) That a study be conducted relative to eliminating parking on Eighth Street between Interstate 5 and L Avenue during the peak traffic period in the morning and the afternoon. (5) That a study of Assembly Bill 103 (Parking and Business Improvement Bill of 1965) be conducted relative to off street parking in the downtown area. Mr. Kirby requested the Council take this under study and, if they see fit, direct staff to conduct a pre- liminary feasibility study and report to the Council. Councilman Harris asked the City Manager if he knew about the 1965 Bill. City Manager 0sburn said he did and the staff was capable of making the study. Moved by Harris, seconded by Colburn, the report be accepted and the study of Assembly Bill 103 (Parking and Business Improvement Bill, 1965) be made. Councilman Harris said the intent of his motion was to approve Number 5 only. Carried by unanimous vote. Moved by Colburn, Items 1, 2, 3, and 4 be approved, Council go on record as supporting them, and each one individually be referred for reports to be brought back to them. Motion died for lack of second. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Harris, Item 1, ("The city is urged to enforce all safety and building codes presently in existence in order to upgrade the commercial property in the downtown area") be approved. City Manager Osburn said it was being done now although no particular area was singled out. Councilman Hogue asked if they were also doing Item 2. The City Manager said 2/7/67 148 they were talking to anyone they thought might be interested into coming into downtown; they have had various meetings with people regarding this. Carried by unanimous vote. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Harris, Item 2 ("The city should take pteps to encourage outside financial investments to locate in the downtown area") be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. Moved by Colburn, Item 3 ("This Association wishes to reaffirm the Chamber of Commerce recommendation for diagonal parking on all side streets adjoining Eighth Street from lA! to 1Gt excepting D Avenue") be accepted and approved. Motion died for lack of second. Councilman Harris said some streets might be too narrow for diagonal parking on both sides of the street. Moved by Harris, seconded by Colburn, Item 3 be referred to the Police Department, Planning Department and the City Manager (Traffic Safety Committee included with the Police Department) for reports. Vice Mayor Colburn said it was referred to the Traffic Safety Committee but not as a request to be acted on immediately; a note to them might indicate an immediate recommendation was wanted. Carried by unanimous vote. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Hogue, Item 4 ("That a study be conducted relative to eliminating parking on Eighth Street between Interstate 5 and L Avenue during the peak traffic period in the morning and the afternoon") be referred to the City Manager's office for a study with report to be brought back to Council. Carried by unanimous vote. Councilman Harris emphasized these were studies only; he might be against them. Councilman Hogue asked Mr. Kirby if in the newspaper accounts that his group had gone on record favoring the possibility of a redevelop- ment for part of National Avenue were true. Mr. Kirby read a portion of the NASA minutes of February 1st in which they went on record as favoring any study or redevelopment project that would continue the revitalization of the older retail shopping area of National City. Mr. Kirby said the "Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1965," Section 36023, gave new breadth to public hearings in that the property owners had nothing to say about it; this law (if it is used intelligently) gives the business people the upper hand over the property owners who have tended to slow these things down; it was intended to aid business people for business promotion. THE HEARING ON THE PROPOSED DERR ANNEXATION, was held at this time. City Clerk Minogue stated she had the Certificates of Publication from two news- papers, the Affidavit of Posting of the notice and two possible protests (it was difficult to tell whether or not they were protesting the annexation): Florence F. and Arthur M. Costello, 3037 D Avenue; Roy J. and Olga L. Winters, 3027 D Avenue. The City Clerk said she received other letters regarding the Swap Meet but they protested the zoning and would be held until the hearing. Director of Planning Stockman said the petition for annexation was signed by 100% of the property owners in the area; the protests read by the City Clerk were not involved in the Annexation; the Planning Commission recommended in favor of the Annexation subject to the following conditions: (1) Said territory to be withdrawn from the Lower Sweetwater Local Fire District; (2) The legal description as prepared by the County Assessor be definite and certain; (3) Any area charges for providing sewer services and/ or water service to be borne by the property owner; (4) At such time as any improvement act is proposed (1911 Act, etc.) which would include said terri- tory, the proponents will render no protest. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Colburn, the hearing be closed and referred to the City Attorney and Director of Planning for further processing. Carried by unanimous vote. Moved by Harris, seconded by Colburn, now the City Attorney has reported regarding the circulation of petitions in a 300' radius for zone changes or zone variances, the matter be referred to the Planning Commission for a recommendation in regard to eliminating the petitions. Vice Mayor Colburn asked if it would be proper to adopt it instead of referring it for another recommendation. Director of Planning Stockman said she preferred to have the recommendation of the Planning Commission as they were the ones who initiated the policy; if they wanted Ordinance 962 changed to eliminate the petitions on the variances she preferred it be referred to the Planning Commission for the necessary public hearing. The Mayor'said the motion on the floor was to eliminate the signatures, was that correct. Councilman 2/7/67 149 Harris said it was to be referred to the Planning Commission for recommenda- tion only in regard to eliminating the signatures on the petitions. Carried by unanimous vote. COUNCILMAN HOGUE stated he was confused sometimes in talking to City Manager Osburn about the areas that are covered by some of the committees and boards; also whether or not they are advisory; he didn't know exactly what areas were covered by the Traffic Safety Committee, Park & Recreation Advisory Board, and the Library Board. City Manager Osburn said the Library Board of Trustees was set up by the Education Code and their responsibilities relate to the Library; the other boards were advisory boards appointed by the Council and their functions were to assist the Council by making recommen- dations to them. Councilman Hogue said some of the recommendations from certain boards were not really that board's problem. The City Manager said they could study the resolutions establishing the boards and see what duties they were assigned and whether or not the board was required by State law or optional. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Reid, Mayor Morgan, City Manager Osburn and City Attorney McLean bring back to the Council a report on the duties of the different boards and their obligations in the areas in which they work. Councilman Harris said along that line, they had had a request from the Council to the City Manager, Chief of Police and Traffic Engineer about changing the name of the Traffic Safety Committee to Streets, Traffic and Traffic Safety or something to that effect. City Manager Osburn said he had a copy of the resolution establishing the board but there were records of the board's having met before the resolution was passed; they were trying to determine the origin of the board and would report soon. Carried by unanimous vote., COUNCILMAN REID reported on Friday, January 27th, he visited the new County Emergency Operation Center at Gillespie Field. COUNCILMAN HOGUE stated he read the route of the Maytime Band Review was moved to National Avenue and he wondered at whose discretion this was done. City Manager Osburn said apparently it was the Maytime Band Review Committee who established the route; it was on National Avenue years ago and because of the complaints of some of the businessmen it was changed. Councilman Hogue questioned the wisdom of the move as there would be many visitors from out of town. The City Manager said the Chamber of Commerce's Clean-up Committee would start working a monthtefore the event; the City usually cooperates by furnishing trucks; the Maytime Band Review was considered City advertising and the City contributes money toward the expenses of the Review. Councilman Hogue asked if when they made a change of this nature did they just do it without consulting the Council. The City Manager said he had seen nothing on the change of the route. COUNCILMAN HARRIS questioned if something could be done about the feedback in the microphones; there was a lot of excessive noise and perhaps a techni- cian should check them out. MAYOR MORGAN recommended the appointment of Mrs. G. L. (Jerry) Harris to the National City Hostess Committee. Moved by Colburrn, seconded by Hogue, the Mayor's recommendation be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. MAYOR MG GAN said it was rumored the Park Department was some $10,000. - $15,000. over their budget. City Manager Osburn said after six months of operation the Park Department spent $5,000.00 less than half of their budget; they may have a few extra expenditures in the summer but at present they were within their budget. MRS. CHAMBERS, 1318 E. 18th Street, was present and said she didn't know how many of the businessmen live in National City; although they do buy business licenses, it was the taxpayers who pick up a lot of the tab; no one on National Avenue should make a statement such as Mr. Kirby's. Vice Mayor Colburn said he felt Mrs. Chambers misunderstood the statements; Mr. Kirby 2/7/67 was referring property from this district 150 only to the parking district law which restrains the owners of voting against an improvement; only the owners of property in and not the homeowners who live away from this area. L. T. DERR, Sale City, Inc., 3200 "D" Avenue, was present and said he heard of the two letters the City Clerk had received from Florence F. & Arthur M. Costello and Roy J. & Olga L. Winters complaining of debris and litter on "D" Avenue, and he immediately hired a man to collect all of the litter that may have originated at Sale City; he wanted to help keep the City clean; he felt this was the best way to keep the neighbors happy and the area clean. E. H. ALSDORF, 2105 "J" Avenue, was present and said he recommended the name of the "Traffic Safety Committee" be changed to the "Traffic Committee;" also, he was a taxpayer of National City and he didn't go along with the idea that the Council runs everything; he didn't go along with some of the paving that was done without interviewing the people the paving would benefit; the Council should grant the people sane say on what was to be done; he had asked explanations of several items on the Agenda and had gotten a couple of them but there were more he would like to have.

Consideration of OVERSIZE DRIVEWAY requested by FRANZ NEFF, 2010 Sweetwater Road, was presented. City Manager Osburn said this request was brought up last week and was referred to the Planning Department and Engineering Depart- ment; neither department had any objections to the oversize driveway and he recommended the request be granted. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Reid, the request for oversize driveway be granted. Carried by unanimous vote. POLICE CHIEF CAG.E'S report in regard to the proposed ordinance amendment to permit the interchange of cab permits from one vehicle to another in the event of breakdown, etc. was presented.

Councilman Harris asked if they granted the increase how many more would they have to deal with. City Manager Osburn said none of the part time employees were increased at the last budget session; the reason for his recommendation for this employee was a lot of street work was being done and she assembles the bids, speci- fications, etc. and is very capable at it; the increase would be to the hourly equivalent of Step 1, Clerk -Typist. Councilman Reid said they were fortunate to have Miss Grajeda; but he knew of part time employees who had been with the City longer, putting in extra hours, and he could not vote for her and not the others.
