CITY ATTORNEY CARSTENS said he had three Resolutions pertaining to the April election and before reading them wished to report whether or not the Mayor, since he is elected, could be paid a salary in excess of that paid to Councilmen. The City Attorney said, as a result of research by himself and the League of California Cities, he came to the conclusion he could not recommend the measure"be submitted to the voters in view of existing legislation; there was no legislation on the books in the State of California authorizing a difference in pay between the Mayor and the other Councilmen within General Law cities. The City Attorney said it was hisopinion it would. be a risk to have the electorate pass on this without getting additional legislation. City Attorney Carstens stated he talked to their legal counsel and the League will make every effort to get it clarified. The City Attorney said he did not include the measure for the Mayorts salary on the assumption the Council would not want to take the chance of putting a person in jeopardy of possibly having to pay back the $6500.00 salary.

Ordinance No. , an ordinance adopting by reference the Uniform Housing Code, 1964 edition, and appendix thereto; prescribing regulations governing hazards to life and property from substandard (residential) housing conditions. CITY ATTORNEY CARSTENS said last week the Council requested additional research on the question of whether or not the Council could advance funds for the installation of a driveway on a 1911 Act project (9th and K Street), and specifically the question was whether or not it could be accomplished by having the person involved grant an easement to the City, the City improving the project and then granting the easement back to the property owner. The City Attorney said, in view of the fact that the City would be giving the property back, it would accomplish nothing from a legal point of view; it would accomplish through the back door what the Council couldn't do through the front door; there might be a possi- bility somone would contest it. The. City Attorney suggested if the Council wished to proceed, they do it directly without obtaining the easement; with the caution it might be contested. Councilman Morgan said the City Engineer warned fixing the driveway might open other cases, but he did not know of any other cases. Mayor Gautereaux recommended the Council take positive action on this matter. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Allen, to go ahead and put this in up to $400.0G. Councilman Colburn asked if the City Manager's office investigated whether or not the owners would contribute a portion of the cost; that was the point he raised last week; the owners, the engineer on the job and the City participate in a joint program. The City Manager stated his understanding was the engineer pay $75.00 and the City pay $400.04 Councilman Colburn stated the City shouldn't be obligated for the full $400.00; the owner should pay $200.00, the City $200.00, and the engineer $75.00. Councilman Morgan stated the solution to the protest should have been worked out before the hearing was closed. Councilman Hogue asked E. H. Alsdorf (2105 J Avenue), who was present, if in the past several months there was a reouest for another driveway, and if so, what was the attitude of the Council; were they willing to compensate, or did they ignore it. Mr. Alsdorf said there was such a request and it was ignored. Councilman Hogue said that was his recollection; it appeared partiality was being shown. Councilman Hogue suggested a policy be established to the effect that if the grade of a street does not match a driveway, it be fixed; but he did not favor "hodgepodge;" he would not vote for this until a definite policy was set and all were treated in the same way. Vice Mayor Allen stated there was a possibility a verbal promise was made by a City employee or an elected official that if Mr. Gilmore withdrew his protest the situation would be worked out. Councilman Colburn stated if there was an implied promise it could be interepreted as joint partici- pation. Vice Mayor Allen withdrew his second. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Allen, the driveway be installed• the City to participate by spending $200.00, the owners to participate $200.00, and the private engineer $75.00. Motion carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Allen, Colburn, Gautereaux. Nays: Hogue, Morgan. 2/1/66 92 MAYOR GAUTEREAUX presented a "Key to the City" to Fred Garcia, 2982 Newton Street, San Diego, for his act of heroism in saving a Child's life in an automobile accident on the freeway. MAYOR GAUTEREAUX presented a "Key to the City" to Dorothea (Cookie) Pargoff and commended her for bringing attention and honor to National City by being San Diego County's Junior Miss, and first runner up in the State Contest for "Junior Miss." COUNCILMAN MORGAN asked if the Ordinance adopting the Uniform Housing Code would be on file in the City Clerk's office this week. City Attorney Carstens stated it could be or he would put a copy in Councilman Morgan's mail folder. COUNCILMAN HOGUE stated (in regard to the measure for the Mayor's salary of $6500.00), the present system precludes the possibility of citizens who must work on an 8-hour a day job running for the office of Mayor, and suggested a resolution be sent to the State Assembly and point out this is discriminatory. Mayor Gautereaux stated the City Attorney re- ported the legal staff of the League of California Cities recognized there was an oversight in the law; there was an inequity. The Mayor suggested the Council as a group encourage the legislators to take cognizance of this by sending a resolution or letter, and also as indi- viduals; if the Council adopted a resolution it should be forwarded to the other three cities in the State in the same category, indicating the Council's action. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hogue, a resolution be drawn and forwarded to the cities and4assemblymen in this area. Motion carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Allen, Colburn, Hogue, Gautereaux. Nays: Morgan. City Attorney Carstens stated he had written to the League confirming the request, and copies would be in the Councilmen's folders. MAYOR GAUTEREAUX presented the names of people who indicated a willingness to serve on the Sister City Committee (in addition to those already serving): Mr. & Mrs. Azochar, 1615 Lanoitan Avenue; Mr. & Mrs. Ruben Torres, 1515 Harding Avenue; Mr. & Mrs. Charles Hess, 1025 N Avenue; Mr. Robert Milke, 357 Coralwood Drive, San Diego; Mr. Philip Milligan, 2441 M Avenue; Mr. & Mrs. Joe Minogue, 1105 East 4th Street; and recom- mended they be appointed. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Allen, the Mayor's recommendation be approved. Carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Allen, Colburn, Hogue, Gautereaux. Nays: None. Abstaining: Morgan. The Mayor suggested members of the Chamber of Commerce's Inter- national Relations Committee might also be on the Sister City Committee. MAYOR GAUTEREAUX said he talked to Mr. Gersten in regard to the possible deletion of parcel no. 7 from their proposed offer tp purchase city -owned land for a housing development. The Mayor said Mr. Gersten and his archi- tect studied the matter, and they felt the parcel should not be deleted because of its effect on the overall development; the FHA could preclude financing for the total project; and it might decrease the usable area because buffer zones would have to be established. The Mayor stated the proposal would have to stand as it was made originally. Moved by Morgan, the property be put out to bid. Motion died for lack of second. Moved by Allen, the offer of Mr. Gersten be approved, the City Attorney and City Manager be authorized to open escrow, and the Mayor be authorized to sign escrow papers. Moved by Colburn, the Council direct the City Manager to make a counter proposal to accept the offer, deleting either the southerly half or all of parcel no. 7. Motion died for lack of second. Councilman Morgan stated he had done some research; he called the FHA and was told under 221D3 the Council would have to adopt an urban renewal plan before accepting the offer; the City of San Diego could not have such a development because of this. Mayor Gautereaux said he resented having this type of information brought before the Council; it would come under a workable program, not urban renewal. Councilman Hogue asked if the proposed deletion of all or part of parcel no. 7 was pre- sented to FHA. Mayor Gautereaux said he discussed it only with Mr. Gersten; he was not under the impression it was to be taken to FHA. Councilman Hogue asked Vice Mayor Allen to restate his motion. Vice Mayor 2/1/66 93 Alien said: "Mr. Gersten's offer be approved and the City Manager and City Attorney be authorized to open escrow and the Mayor be authorized to sign the necessary papers." Seconded by Councilman Hogue. Councilman Colburn said an offer was made to purchase parcel no. 7 and the Council was in agreement on it except for the zoning; had the zoning been changed, the land would have been sold and the developers could not have offered to purchase parcel no. 7. Council Colburn said that the Council permitted it to go through channels; the zoning was approved by the Planning Commission, and he thought the Council was obligated to finalize the sale to Acme Chevrolet, and to make a counter proposal to Mr. Gersten; an apology could be made to Mr. Gersten for not telling him there was already an offer for the land. Councilman Hogue asked if the developers would present plans to the Council showing the type of buildings, etc., and asked if the sale could become final before the Council had seen those plans. Director of Planning Stockman said this was not a "planned development;" it would be developed under R-4 zoning and it would not be necessary for the plans to go to the Planning Commission and the Council. Councilman Hogue said he was concerned whether or not we would get the same type apartments as in Vallejo and Alameda. Mayor Gautereaux recom- mended that at the same time plans were submitted to FHA the Council review the plans. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hogue, the Mayor's recom- mendation be included in the motion. Councilman Morgan asked if it would have to be adopted by the Council before they get FHA approval under 221D3. Mayor Gautereaux said there would have to be a workable program. Councilman Morgan said he could not imagine the Council accepting the smallest bid offered for the land. Councilman Hogue suggested that Council take precaution on it, possibly through a deed restriction. Vice Mayor Allen said the amendment to the motion took care of it; deed restrictions and/or contingencies were not acceptable to FHA. C. L. Foster, 1071 Carlsbad, Spring Valley, was present, and said he was speaking for the Downtown Merchants Association; concern was expressed for the image of National City; he complimented the Council on the work they have done to bring about the planned development in this area, and said there were several questions he would like to ask to help clarify the c situation. Councilman Morgan stated (in answer to the question regarding the intention of the developers to apply for a federal rent u,,PPplement aid program to assist disadvantaged, underdeveloped persons''sto,;`housing (concern was expressed relative to the deverioper's intention to fill the units with low income families qualifying for Federal rent assistance), 221D3 would qualify for subsidized housing when Congress appropriates the money for it. Mayor Gautereaux said he would answer Mr. Foster's questions.cozrectiy; the annual incomes of the tenants and the rents would be based on conditions in San Diego and would be slightly different from Los Angeles or San Fransisco; in the San Fransisco area it was roughly: two persons, one bedroom apartment, annual maximum income $7,000.00, monthly rent about $116.66; family of three or four, two bedroom apartment, maximum annual income $8,250.00, monthly rent $137.50; family of five to six, three bedroom apartment, maximum annual income $9,500.00, monthly rent $158.33; family of seven or more, four bedroom apartment, maximum annual income $10,750.00, monthly rent $179.16. The Mayor explained the finance structure. Mayor Gautereaux said if Mr. Foster was talking specifically about the developer's intention to go into the subsidized project or the possibility the project would accom- modate a subsidized type of rental, the act of rent subsidy has not been put in the hands of FHA, it is a different act than 221D3; if it was a planned development under the subsidy rent it would be a different act altogether and there would be different rules and regulations that would be applied thereto; the important thing was the Duality of housing, whether it was this type of subsidized rent under 3% financing by FHA, or a direct subsidy, there would be no difference in the requirements in the quality of the type of housing that would be developed; it was a 40-year program that FHA puts into the requirements that makes the project stand for that 40-year period. Mayor Gautereaux stated under non-profit sponsorship, equity and profit was reflected back into the rent; until the arithmetic of the project was worked out, it would be impossible to know what the exact cost of rent would be. Mr. Foster stated a development of this type would bring more people into the community. Robert Gruss, 5106 Federal Blvd., San Diego, was present 2/1/66 94 and asked to have a few points clarified. Mayor Gautereaux stated, in answer to Mr. Gruss's questions, that the previous similar project offered to the City was a co-op development where the apartments were sold, and FHA was not favorable to this type of project; the proposed project is a straight rental project with a sponsor, and the sponsor must be approved by FHA. The Mayor said the sponsor could sell the property at a later date. Councilman Colburn stated the General Plan indicated the most needed improvement in National City was in homes, the area of Olivewood Housing should be considered for homes; the subsi- dizing of rents the Government has decided to undertake for underprivi- ledged families would also pertain to private homes. Councilman Colburn suggested if the motion carried the escrow instructions include the opportunity for the City to regain the property at no cost, or a minimum amount of interest, if for some reason the development failed in anyway that is proposed. Ruben Rubio, 1739 Cleveland, was present, and stated he also investigated with FHA and was told this project could not be rented on the loan if it was not under an urban renewal plan, and stated he mentioned a "workable plan," and they said it had to be urban renewal. Motion carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Allen, Hogue, Gautereaux. Nays: Colburn, Morgan. THOMAS MARTIN, 1706 Newell Street, was present, and stated he had been employed with the Diamond Cab Company since October, 1965, and under the new Ordinance passed he would lose his job because he had served time for a felony, and asked if anything could be done to help him; and if this Ordinance would affect people who were already employed. Mayor Gautereaux stated the Ordinance would have to be enforced. The Mayor recommended Mr. Martin talk to City Manager Osburn during business hours and discuss any points he felt he had a case on, which would be discussed with the Chief of Police and if there was any action to be taken on it, it could come back to Council at that time. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Allen, the Mayor's recommendation be approved. Carried by unanimous vote. Mayor Gautereaux and Vice Mayor Allen stated they would be glad to discuss the matter with Mr. Martin during their business hours. E. H. ALSDORF, 2105 J Avenue, was present, and stated the City didn't have any authority to give the Mayor a salary; if the Council got out of the Real Estate business they would have fewer problems; each indi- vidual Councilman and the Mayor could write with him to the State Govern- ment asking for a return to the "grass roots" government and rule the nation that way. BILLS AUDITED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE were presented in the amount of $23,728.62: (General Fund, $19,964.54; Traffic Safety, $1,820.99; Park, $514.97; Special Street, $1,022.00; Sewer, $386.12; Civic Center, $20.00.)
