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. Moved by Allen, seconded by
Colburn, the reading of the resolutions be waived and they be adopted
by reading of the title only. Carried by unanimous vote.

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.

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.
