CITY ATTORNEY MC LEAN reported (in regard to existence of an anti -
noise law in the City and whether or not the noise law applied to
hours before 10:00 p.m.) there were two City Ordinances related to
disturbances,N'umbers 739 and 961,which prohibit the making of loud
or unusual noises to the disturbance of neighbors and there was no
time limit within those ordinances; there was no reservation the
ordinances were ir, force only after a certain time of the evening.
The City Attorney stated Sec. 415 of the California Criminal Code,
"Disturbing the Peace", prohibits loud or unusuai noises which cause
the disturbance of neighbors and also regulates several other
categories of unlawful behavior; it also has no reservations it
will apply only after certain evening hours. Mayor Morgan asked if
there should be laws to take care of the inadequacies described
before the Council. City Attorney McLean said his point was that
there were laws to cover the 'type of disturbances reported by the
citizen who appeared before the Council; he could pursue his legal
recourse, go before the District Attorney and file a complaint if the
facts justified criminal prosecution, the District Attorney would
pursue the criminal prosecution; this was achieved successfully in
the City recently; if a disturbance occured, during the night time,
the citizen could call the Police Department and they wouldd respond
each and every time and seek to keep the peace in the neighborhood.
Mayor Morgan asked the City Manager to check with the Chief of Police
and have him notify his men of the City Attorney's report. City
Manager Osburn said he would, the important thing brought to the
7/12/66
261
Council's attention is the individual must pursue it, not the police
officer; the police officer does not normally hear this and it is
not disturbing him and the person who is distubed is the one who
must make the complaint, The City Attorney stated this was correct
and the individual would have to be prepared to go to court and
testify against the person allegedly causing the disturbance as
well as the other witnesses: to the alleged crime; it would
seem that the lack of enforcement, if any, was due to the fact that
the citizen complaining was satisfied when the police came out and
did not want to have the inconvenience of pursuing it through the
legal channels.
COUNCILMAN HOGUE announced his office was open; he would be there
each day between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. and would prefer to talk to
people there rather than in his living room. Councilman Hogue
suggested anyone wishing to see him call ahead of time to make sure
he would be free,
COUNCILMAN HOGUE said last week the Council voted to "waiver" two
sidewalks; he felt what was fair for one citizen was fair for another
and all should be treated alike. Councilman Hogue said the waivers
were granted without any stipulation as to when they would comply and
the Council should set up some sort of system and suggested when
waivers for curbs and sidewalks were granted, ,they be granted for
one year only and if the same situation existed at the end of the
year, the person be required to come back and extend the waiver.
Moved by Hogue, seconded by Colburn, waivers of sidewalks and curbs
be granted for a period of one year and at the end of that time they
must be renewed -by -the Council.` Councilman Colburn asked it be
referred to the City Attorney and the Director of Planning to make
sure we can do this. Included in motion and second. Mayor Morgan
said the important thing was the City Engineer be told,that where
grades can be set there should be no waiver of curbs and.sidewalks;
the only ores that should be waived are those where a grade cannot
be set. Councilman Hogue said the intention of his motion was to
cover those cases where the.Council did grant a waiver, the waiver
be limited to a period of one year. Councilman Colburn said the
Director of Planning and the City Attorney should know the Council's
feelings, the waivers granted last week were for areas where the
grades were set; his reason for granting the one was because of a
pending 1911 Act improvement. Motion carried by unanimous vote.
MAYOR MORGAN said the vacant houses between 22nd and 24th Streets,
National Avenue and "D" Avenue, were given to the people of Tijuana
by Council action some months ago; the houses are still sitting there
and have been damaged; he received many complaints deout it. The
Mayor recommended it be turned over to the City Manager for a report
and recommendation next week and suggested the City Manager call the
Mayor of Tijuana to learn his intentions. Moved by Colburn, seconded
by Reid, the Mayor's recommendation be approved and the Qity Manager
include in his report If the .Meyor of Tiivanacannot use these
houses within a certai_
n period of time the City Manager recommend
what to do with them. Carried by unanimous vote.
MAYOR MORGAN said a rest home on Paradise Drive is putting in a
new driveway; there is a "no entrance" sign which people have to
drive around; this causes them to become confused. The Mayor."
recommended it be referred to the Traffic Safety Committee. Moved
by Colburn, seconded by Reid, the Mayor's recommendation he approved.
Carried by unanimous vote.
MAYOR MORGAN read the resignation of Donald L. Torbett from the Plan-
ning Commission and recommended it be accepted and a certificate of
appreciation issued. Moved by Reid, seconded by Colburn, the Mayor's
recommendation be approved. Carried by unanimous vote.

THE CONTINUED ASSESSMENT HEARING on the 1911 Act Improvement of
Prospect Street from 16th to 18th Street was held at this time. City
Manager Osburn stated there was a letter from the City Engineer and
the City Manager ettached to the Agenda requesting the hearing
be continued for another two weeks; and stating they met with the
contractor and his representatives but some of the problems should
be resolved with legal counsel. Moved by Reid, seconded by Colburn,
the hearing be continued for two weeks. Councilman Hogue asked if
there were people present who would like to be heard, could the
hearing be opened and then continued for two weeks. Mayor Morgan
invited anyone interested to speak if they so desired. No one
spoke in this regard. Motion carried by unanimous vote.
MRS. CONSUELO RUBiO, 1729 Cleveland Avenue, was present and stated
in regard to the formation of a committee to acquire a buffer zone
from the Navy for beautification this was a political issue; there
were junk yards to be eliminated; the empty housing between 22nd
and 24th Streets and A and D Avenues should be eliminated; who
would be responsible if someone was hurt there. Mayor Morgan stated
he believed the City would be responsible if anyone was hurt on
City property.
MRS. EDITH SHERMAN, Manager, Chamber of Commerce, was present and
read a letter signed by Frank Williams, President, stating the Board
of Directors went on record by unanimous action favoring acquisition
of a 400 foot buffer zone from the Navy along Interstate 5 Freeway
and urging the appointment of a committee to acquire the property.
BARNEY MELILLO, 105 Laurel Street, was present and stated the ap-
pointment of a candidate to the committee for a buffer zone would be
unfair to the other candidates running for the office of City Council
in the August 9th election; the issue was political.
DR. GEORGE PARCHEN, 101 East 18th Street, was present and spoke in
favor of the formation of a committee to acquire a buffer zone from
the Navy; a map acquired from the Navy shows the area is to be used
for boat storage; National City should use everything At its dis-
posal to acquire the land. Councilman Hogue said when he was in
Washington, D. C.,he was shown a map designating the area for Navy
recreation and asked where the boat storage came from. Director of
Planning Stockman said the map was dated 1965 and was given to Dr.
Eleanor Corrigan by the Navy during the study made for the General
Plan.
MAYOR MORGAN stated he would recommend the following people to the
Buffer Zone Committee to work for the acquisition of at least 400'
buffer zone from the Navy: Jerry Harris, as chairman, Lorenz Ruehle,
Peter Storton, lone Minogue, Edith Sherman, Hazel Stockman, Roger
Steele, Luella Mordhorst, Chuck Foster, and Cynthia Eggen. Council-
man Hogue objected to the appointment of the Chairman to the
Committee; it was unfair to the other candidates; he did not think
the Council should agree to appoint a candidate running for office to
the Committee at this time. Mayor Morgan said the Committee had to
have a Chairman; they were to meet with Congressman Van Deerlin the
next day. Moved by Reid, seconded by Morgan, the appointment;be
approved. Councilman Reid said he never heard of a Mayor's recommend-
ations for a committee not being approved; the group could appoint
or'elect its own chairman if they so desired. Bob Worthy, 1223
Manchester, was priseot and stated as a member of the Park and
Recreation Advisory Board, he would like to know if the 400' zone
was to e acquired for landscaping or what purpose, and asked who was
going to pay for it. Mr. Worthy continued there were two members
of PRAB who travelled at City expense to learn about city beautif-
ication and their names were not mentioned on the Committee. Vice
Mayor Colburn said in regard to the appointment of the committee
it would be wise to in,cluce a member of PRAB and create a committee
and let them select their own chairman. Mayor Morgan reminded the
7/12/66
263
Council there was not much time, a meeting was arranged with Con-
gressman Van Deerlin. The Vice Mayor said the committee could meet
with the Congressman without a chairman and he did not think there
would be any problem notifying a member of DRAB to attend the meeting.
The Mayor stated he contacted someone from PRAB and someone from the
Navy and will make those appointments at a later time; he did not
want the committee so big they could not function. The Vice Mayor
said he felt the buffer zone was important; ;t was recommended from time to time and was in the General Plan; the idea of the buffer
zone instead of the entire property was rood and he thought there
were many people who could be on the Committee; at the moment there
was an obligation to the people to show no partiality to any of the
candidates; he would not support the appointment of a committee
chairman when there were other council candidates who had requested
the respect of not appointhim because it gave him en edge over them;
each should come through on his own efforts. Mayor Morgan said if
any of the other candidates came up with an idea of this magnitude
he would appoint l"'m chairman of his own committee, Barney Melillo
appealed to the Mayor it was unfair to the other seven candidates;
it was the citizens privilege to back a candidate, butanyone serving
the City as Mayor should not do so at the City's expense. Moved by
Reid, seconded by Morgan, the motion.be amended to'aooro a•a•° t-
ment of the names mentioned and they select their own chairman.
Moved by Hogue, seconded by Colburn the motion be amended to
include the appointment of a member of PRAB selected either the
Manor or the City Manager so they could inform the Councit as a.
member of the City. Mayor Morgan said he contacted a member of
PRAB and would be informed whether or not the person would serve.

ation of sidewalks and curbs where property improvement was $2,500
or greater for a definite period of time or forever the Council had
the power togrant an exemption for a limited, specified period of
time. The City Attorney continued City Ordinances do not specifically
provide for deferment but the Council has the power to grant deferment
er limited exemption; it might be better to amend the ordinances to
provide for deferment and performance bonds similar to ordinances of
other cities. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Colburn, the ordinances be
mended slmgtar.to ordinances other cities have where an waiver of
.pldewal_l a .bond`"must he posted that the peopre will comply when the
area it read for-dgvelopment, Vice Mayor Colburn asked if it woui
still be left -to the discretion of the Council. The City Attorney
said the reason fop the bond on deferral of improvement was to protect
the public welfare; the Council has the power now to grant limited
deferl'ale; h wever, It is not set out spedfically in the ordinances.
Councilman Reidsaid In hardship cases, it could tie up a perser's
mcneyfor a long period of time. Councilman Hogue agreed it could
and said his idea was merely to grant waivers for a period of one
year arid if the condition stilt existed at the end of the year they
come hack for extension, so other citizens would not think ;the City

granting a waiver for a limit of one year. Dr. George Parchen, 101
East 18 Street, was present and stated people with money might prefer

Councilman Hogue asked if the Engineering Department could prepare a
map for the Council to look at and the item be on the Agenda for next
week. included in motion and second, Carried by unanimous vote.
COUNCILMAN HOGUE stated he wrote a letter to each Councilman pertain-
ing to an error on the part of the Council in the budget; two types
of 1911 Acts were set up, those requiring city participation in
drainage and those not requiring city participation; in this year's
budget $40,000 was set up for drainage in the area of 7th Street;
7th Street was not on the priority list; it was also placed on the
list above other types of drainage; in page 113 of the budget. 4,items
of drainage are listed and only one was on the priority list. Council-
man Hogue stated due to the development of the airport and the pier,
such streets es Coolidge and Wilson should be placed on this year's
budget even though they are not on the priority list. Councilman
Hogue said the drainage for 7th Street would benefit only that area,
not the whole City; there were three projects 7th Street was put ahead
of which were initiated by the people; the project now -at the head of
the priority list was number six when he was elected,"but there is no
money for the drainage; he believed the money should be takenfrom the
7th Street project and put back where -the people initiated the 1911
Act. Moved by Hogue; seconded by Colburn, the drainage project on 7th
be removed from the budget and the money aPOlied back to the priority
list and the money necessary to put a passable culvert through V Avenue
so people can go through there. Vice Mayor Colburn asked if the maker
of the motion would request this be brought back by the City Manager
for approval. Included -in motion and second. City Manager Osburn
said 7th Street was probably taken from the priority list due to the
fact the freeway will come through soon; the drainage was a re -budgeted
itemand would not have to be done this year. Councilman Hogue said
drainage is important and the people in the area would like the drain-
age corrected, but there is not enough money to accomplish everything
at once; but when someone initiates a 1911 Act in their area and it is
being held up by lack of funds, it should be applied in that area rather
than in an area where the people have not initiated a 19t1 Act. Mayor
Morgan asked the City Engineer where the drainage would be on 7th
Street. City Engineer Foster said the drainage as designed picks up
at the medical buildings at 8th and Euclid and then west to V. Mayor
Morgan asked why, if this was carried over from last year's budget
where it was moved up, this Council was being accused of moving it up.
City Manager Osburn said because of the long rainy season, the work
could not be done last year; the only urgency is to get it up to the
east side of Freeway 805; the State would take it under the Freeway.
Vice Mayor Colburn said he favored the motion as it -stood, with the
City Manager to bring back a report on the $40,000 budgeted. Motion
carried by unanimous vote.
COUNCILMAN HOGUE said it was important R Avenue, between-4th and 8th
Streets, be developed parallel to the freeway that will be coming

a I914 Act to improve R Avenue between 4th and 8th Streets. Mayor
Morgan asked if a -map could be prepared. Included in motion and
second. Carried by unanimous vote.

COUNCILMAN HOGUE inquired about the Resolution to close streets in
the Olivewood Housing area which was presented several weeks ago
and laid over; he said it might be detrimental to the success of the
apartment project to delay it longer. Moved by Hogue, seconded by
Colburn, the streets suggested by the City Engineer included in the
Olivewood area -where the apartments are to be developed be closed.
Vice Mayor Colburn asked if there had been any progress. Mayor
Morgan said -he met with the people and talked to them several times
and the problem would be worked out; he was looking for them -to come
to his office any times. Councilman Hogue asked what the problem was.
Mayor Morgan said there were several problems. Councilman Hogue
asked for one of the reasons. Mayor Morgan said he would bring it
back to the Council when it was worked out. Councilman Hogue said
he would like to be aware of the problems. -Mayor Morgan said one of
the problems was that Acme Chevrolet had a bid on a portion of the
property for some time and they have been in touch with Acme so they
could have some 100 feet, enough property to finish moving in; there
were other problems. Councilman Hogue said he thought this was a
politicalmaneuver; if FHA came through they would not be able to
fullfil their obligations to the Federal Government and they would
lose the loan; this was wrong; the previous Council voted to sell to
these people. Mayor Morgan said if the streets were closed and the
project did not continue the City would have the 'expense of re -opening
them; they were not starting to build until February of next year;
they have only plot plans at the present time and are not ready for
FHA approval; holding this up would not keep them from getting their
financing. Councilman Colburn asked if the Mayor thought there could
be an answer on the problems next week and said if the Mayor would
report next week, he would withdraw his second. The Mayor said he
would report next week. Second was withdrawn. Motion died for lack
of second.
COUNCtLMAN HOGUE said there were two buildings that were rundown and
probably do not conform to the building code and they should be 4ocemzele

Avenue was voted down a couple of years ago and he was requested by
persons within the district to reactivate the act; engineering plans
were complete. The Mayor recommended the -City Engineer be instructed
to reactivate the 1911 Act. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Reid, the

LOUIS CAMACHO, 1937 A Avenue; was present and asked if Ei Toyon Park
could be oiled or blacktopped to keep -down the dust for the Colt
League District Tournament; it would be -a good thing -for the ball park.
Mayor Morgan asked if it would be possible to do it -before the
tournament. Councilman Hogue said if grass was to be planted the oil
would be detrimental. Mr. Camacho said the area he had in mind was
mostly used for, parking. Mayor Morgan said he did not see how this
could be done before the start of the tournament at 4:00 p.m. on
Thursday; it could be watered down. Mr. Camacho asked if something
could be done for the back -of the Community building, either -oil or
blacktop. City Manager Osburn said that was scheduled for about six
weeks. Sarney Melillo, 105 Laurel Street, was present and stated
water would not last for mere than 15 minutes and suggested about
$15-$20 worth of crystals be put in the area. Mayor Morgan asked the
City Manager if this could be done.
BARNEY MELiLLO, 105 Laurel Street, was present and stated -in regard
to the sewer charge, the money was still being collected by the Water
company; he knew the Mayor voted against handling it this way; and
asked if the Counctl would cone sides- some other means of collection
to save the 510,000 charged by the water company. Mayor Morgan said
that was discussed in the Finance Committee meetings and it was decided
not to add it to the taxes; if the City did not get this money it would
be hard for -the City to get by; the budget was tight; in time to come
this could be done. Councilman Hogue said the final word was that as
candidate the Mayor said he had a plan fur saving this money, but he
refused to give the people the plan.
MOVED i3Y COLBURN, seconded by Reid, the property on Wilson Avenue for
which en offer was received at the Real Estate Committee meeting be
djscussed next. Carried by unanimous vote. City Manager Oshurn
reported Mr. Clint Matthews offered $10,000 to purchase 11/2 acres
on 28th Street, a slough, offer subject to the buyer being successful
in acquiring the 1 1/2 acres to the west fronting on Wilson Avenue,
to be used by Tom Moynahan's Auto and Truck Storage for a dismantling
company. Mr. Oshurn stated the Real Estate Committee recommended the
offer be rejected. Vice Mayor Colburn said one of the reasons for the
recommendation was the --fear it could be seen from the freeway which
the City is trying to beautify; he drove down the freeway looking at
this property and it is below street level now and assuming it was
filled and brought up to grade of the street it might be seen; there
is a dismantling company in El Cajon and due to their building specif-
ications it is not ugly; if it were to he fenced, only the area --near
theback of Fluidgenics could be seen from the freeway. Moved by
Colburn, seconded by Hogue, the Council consider this offer and work
through the City Planner in regard to regulations and stipulations
before apprpving-"it. Councilman Hogue asked if the Vice Mayor wanted
e study brought back as to what it would contribute to or detriment
the area„ The Vice Mayor said if the buyers would agree, it would
not hinder or set a precedent; further study should be made and
perhaps one more business would be retained in National City. Mayor
Morgan said it would have to be referred to the Planning Commission
for a recommendation. Director of Planning Stockman said her intent-
ion would be to take it before the Planning Commission; she would also
like the City Attorney to work on this; automobile dismantling is
prohibited in the City -and she would like to see if a variance could
be worked out. Moved by Colburn, seconded by Reid, the Planner's
recommendation be included in the motion. In answer to -Councilman
Reid's question 'as to how many automobile dismantling businesses there
were in town, the. Director of Planning said there were four. Motion
carried by unanimous vote.
