City Attorney Carstens stated Ordinance 1122 established a flat fee for all for -hire vehicles at the rate of $50.00 per vehicle; the Ordinance just read by title would change the fee for ambulances to $50.00 for the first vehicle, and $4.00 for each additional vehicle.

City Attorney Carstens stated the Ordinance amended a section of 1122 to allow the Council upon the recommendation of the Chief of Police and the City Manager to grant a license to a person convicted of a felony if the Council so desired; it had mothing to do with the licensing fees. Earl Crawford, Acme Ambulance, 1104 Roosevelt Avenue, was present, and stated ambulances were differentfrom any other business in National City, and requested a meeting be set with the City Manager to talk about putting the ambulance service in a field of its own. City Manager Osburn stated the whole business license ordinance was revised; the taxicabs and ambulances were taken out of the original ordinance and put in the same ordinance adopted before the end of the year in order to establish the rates by the first of the year; the City Manager's office was requested to go over the whole business license ordinance and the Administrative Assistant spent three months compiling information from cities all over the State and the League of California Cities. Mr. Osburn stated he believed it was a fair ordinance; the change was made at the request of the Council and if it was necessary to make another change he would. Councilman Hogue stated there was not much difference between the taxicab and ambulance businesses; their services were similar; they were both in business for hire by the people; they served equally in their own way to the people; one should be charged as much as the other. City Manager Osburn, in answer to Councilman Morgan's question, stated business license fees depended on the type of business. Motion to adopt the Ordinance carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Colburn, Hogue, Morgan, Alien. Nays: None. Absent: Gautereaux.

CITY ATTORNEY CARSTENS reported in regard to the Council's request for an opinion as to the propriety of a Chairman of a Commission voting or not voting in the ordinary course of the Commission's business. The City Attorney said ordinarily it was expected that any member including the Chairman of a committee would be expected to cast a vote either for or against a motion; the same rules that apply to the Council also apply to a Commission; in the League of California Cities Guide to Legislative Pro- cedures adopted by the Council, Section 7-C encourages each member to vote; there was nothing that made it mandatory, but there was an obligation as a member to vote unless disqualified because of conflict of interests, the Council requested him not to vote, or in the opinion of the City Attorney he should not vote; unless there was some disqualifying factor every member of the Commission should cast a vote; there was no way to enforce it but it was considered a responsibility. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Allen, each member appointed to a Commission where the Council looks for guidance cast a vote either "Aye," "Nay," or "Abstaining." Councilman Morgan stated it was the responsibility of the Mayor to work out the problem with the members of the Commission. Councilman Hogue stated the people were appointed to the Commission to bring recommendations and information to the Council; it was their obligation to give the Council an indication of being either for or gainast a problem presented to them. Councilman Colburn stated if the motion was intended to encourage them to vote, he would be for it, but the Council could not make them vote, it was up to the individual. Council- man Morgan stated the Mayor appointed these people and it was his responsi- bility to work out the problem. Councilman Hogue stated the Mayor recom- mended the people but did not appoint them; the Council voted on them; they dici:not -represent the Mayor, they represented the Council. The City Attorney explained it had been customary for the Chairman of the Planning Commission not to vote; in view of the Council's feeling it might correct itself. E. H. Alsdorf, 2105 J Avenue, was present, and stated the Council was going far afield when it demanded the Chairman of the Commission to vote; the Council could not take away a citizen's rights. Director of Planning Stockman stated she understood when the City Council adopted the Guide to Legis- lative Procedures the Commission came under the same rules; the Commission was following Robert's Rules of Order; they would correct the procedure. Motion failed by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Hogue, Allen. Nays: Colburn, Morgan. Absent: Gautereaux. Vice Mayor Allen stated the matter would be put on the Agenda next week when there would be a full Council. CITY ATTORNEY CARSTENS presented escrow instructions for Dale Building Co. which were requested to be brought back to the Council for approval before being signed, and stated the escrow instructions contained essentially the offer and acceptance of the Council, and said if the Council saw fit they were ready to be filed. The City Attorney stated there was an additional potential problem he had not been aware of; the preliminary title report indicated Parcel No. 8 was owned by the National School District. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Colburn, the item be put on the Agenda next week, and the City Attorney investigate it, and a copy of the escrow be put in each Councilman's mail folder. Vice Mayor Alien stated the old Kimball 3/8/66 126 home had been given to the School District; if there was a discrepancy it might be there was a portion of that property belonging to the School District; it could be worked out. The City Attorney stated the matter might have been taken care of. Motion carried by unanimous vote. Absent; Gautereaux. COUNCILMAN MORGAN asked the City Attorney if the recommendation of the Planning Commission in regard to the Granger-Kerch property was proper; five commissioners were present and only two voted in favor of it. The City Attorney stated he understood there were three affirmative votes; he could research it and be prepared next week. Councilman Morgan said there were only two votes for and five present, and asked if it would make a difference if they abstained. Director of Planning Stockman stated five people were present, the first motion to deny C-2-P-D, Planned Development Commercial Zoning carried by two members voting "Ayes' one member abstain- ing and no "No" votes; Chairman Torbett not voting, and Commissioner Storton excused from that portion of the meeting because of conflict of 'interest; the second motion to recommend favorable consideration be given to the granting of an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance providing for a C-2-P-D, Planned Commercial Development Zone carried by three members voting "Aye,'' no members voting "No," and Chairman Torbett and Commissioner Storton not voting. Councilman Morgan stated his question was in regard to the first motion, he would like the City Attorney's advice. The City Attorney said he would give an opinion. Councilman Hogue said the Chairman should have voted; he had an opinion one way or another. COUNCILMAN MORGAN inquired if someone were to request a zone charge would it be legal for the Council to grant a zone variance only until the property was used; or if it would be legal to change the zone but not qo through with it until building commenced. Councilman Colburn stated he believed the ouestion intended to ask if the property had not been deve10 ed within a certain time the zoning would revert back. City Attorney`,Carstens asked if specific property was being discussed; Councilman Morg4a said he was talking about the Granger property. Moved by Hogue, it be laid over until next week. Motion died for lack of second. City Attorney Carstens stated zone changes and zone variances were different things; what might be a proper case for a zone change would not be proper for a zone variance; a variance was granted if a hardship existed and the land could not be used economically otherwise. The City Attorney said an application for zone change would have to be acted on as a zone change; the Council could either grant or deny it; if denied, the applicant could come back for a zone variance; but the Council could not change the application from one to another. Councilman Morgan asked if a zone could be changed, but held, until the property was used or revert back to the original zone. City Attorney Carstens said what was being discussed was conditional zoning; you could not have conditional zoning; it would have to be done by approved plans. Councilman Morgan asked if the zone could be changed and the names of the people listed. City Attorney Carstens stated his off -hand impression was it could not be done, but he would have to research it. Moved by Hogue,.. seconded by Morgan, the City Attorney bring in a report next week concern- ing these questions. Councilman Colburn said the purpose was to give security to the City certain businesses would come in; and asked if some other method could be used, could; the zone be changed pending contracts or could the City get a copy of the contracts and have a record. City Attorney Carstens stated what was wanted was a record of good faith. Councilman Hogue said he could not understand this; it was a cornfield and was finally to be used; who zoned it the way it was now; he could not understand the questioning of the sale of privately owned land. Councilman Morgan said during his six years on the Council a.lot sty picture...104 plans were brought before the Council and if all had material- ized, this would be the prettiest city in California; he could not vote against Walker Scott, but he was not sure Walker Scott was coming in to town. City Attorney Carstens said his law firm represented the people who made the zone change application a.nd he wanted the Council to be advised his firm represented those people; if any members of the Council felt his opinion would be in any way biased he would recommend they seek other advice. Moved by Morgan, the motion be amended to include the City 3-18/'S6 127 Manager get the opinion from some other law firm. Motion died for lack of second. Motion the City Attorney give his opinion next week carried, by the following vote, to -wit: Ayes: Colburn, Morgan, Allen. Nays: Hogue. Absent: Gautereaux.

Vice Mayor Allen stated both cities had agreed to the boundary from Edgemere Road west; National City has an annexation before the Local Agency Forma- tion Commission for the airport property; Chula Vista ha.s an annexation south of Edgemera Road which goes on both sides of what was felt would be a proper lira for City boundaries, and until such time as the freeway was completed and the channel was completed, it was agreed by both cities they would not interfere with the other's annexations and explain this to the Local Agency Formation Commission; once the freeway and channel were established the two Councils could get together to establish an equal boundary. The Vice Mayor said it was agreed that each City would appoint two Planning Commissioners along with the Director of Planning to a committee that would look into the situation and continue to watch it as it grew. Vice Mayor Allen recommended Don Torbett and Pete Storton of the Planning Commission be appointed. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Colburn, the Vice Mayor's recommendation be approved.
