ORDINANCE NO. an ordinance repealing Ordinance 920 and Ordinance 1008
establishing license fees for for -hire vehicles, and establishing permit,
license and insurance requirements for for -hire vehicles and drivers thereof;
was presented for the first reading. Vice Mayor Alien stated he had been

CITY ATTORNEY CARSTENS reported in regard to the question raised concerning
the use of land the City contemplated selling to certain auto agencies
between 22nd and 24th Streets and between 26th and 27th Street east of "A"
Avenue; the question was if the land were sold now, would the people
who purchased it be able to build something other than an adjunct to an
auto agency in the future. The City Attorney stated under the present
zoning ordinance they would be able to build apartment houses; under the
new ordinance if they used the landfor commercial purposes such as
enlarging their auto agencies because it was adjacent to residences Council
approval of the plans would be required; but that would not be an effective
way of controlling the use of the land. City Attorney Carstens said the
present Council might haveone idea about the plan they would approve; a
ftture Council might have another; and there could be a problem if they
submitted appropriate plans for an apartment building; it might not be
proper for the present Council to deny the building of the apartments
since it was a proper use of the land under the present zoning; if the
Council so desired, the proper way would be through deed restrictions
of conditions which would be recorded or a long term escrow or trust deed,
merely relying on the present ordinance as a control would be inadequate.
City Attorney Carstens said he wasnot sure what the Council had in mind.
Councilman Morgan asked if it would be illegal if the Council said they
would approve or not approve; would there be a legal way they could force
it, City Attorney Carstens said there might be a problem; if, for example,
the land were sold as C-4 and the owner presented plans for a residential .
type development, a multiple unit; the Council would have the right to
approve or disapprove these plans; but he felt confident a court would say
the denial would have to be on reasonable grounds; the construction or
the architecture; but if their plan was reasonable and fit in well the
court would probably order us to go ahead; even though the court might
rule in favor of the City, it would wind up in court and why take that
chance. Councilman Morgan asked if a deed restriction could say apartment
houses could not be built. The City Attorney said the type of structure
could be limited in that way. Councilman Hogue said he thought at one
time the Council wanted to sell the 11/23/65
27
land to the Lusk Corporation for development of multiple units. Mayor
Gautereaux said he always thought the best use of the land would be for
apartments; he did not think future use for auto agencies was proper for
the area; the property east of "A" Avenue should be in multiple housing;
if the car agencies wanted to use the land for that purpose he would
be the first to sell it to them. Councilman Morgan said he thought the
planner was instructed to get the sizes of the car agencies in Mission
Valley. Director of 'olanning Stockman said she made an investigation of
the areas utilized by the agencies; she had not received a reply to her
letter from the Pontiac factory and would like to hold her report until
the next meeting.

Manager Osburn stated it was not. Moved by Morgan, the escrow be cancelled,
Motion died for lack of second. Councilman Hogue asked why it had not.
City Manager Osburn said the City's survey crews had been driven off the
property and were not able to place the two stakes necessary. Councilman
Morgan said he did not know of any property the City sold that the City
surveyed; the City should not survey the property. Vice Mayor Alien said
the property to be surveyed was not property the City was selling but
property that would be turned over to the City.
VICE MAYOR ALLEN stated a vote of thakks should be given to the City
Engineer, the City Manager, the Administrative Assistant, the Chief of
Police, the Deputy Director of Civil Defense and members of the Public
Works Department who worked through last night in the rain to alleviate
conditions caused by flooding.
COUNCILMAN MORGAN said he would like to get back on the survey; some time
ago he asked t•he City Engineer if he kept records on the time spent on
survey; he heard a lot of time was spent on that particular survey.
Councilman Morgan said he asked in the Engineering office about the time
on this survey and found no record was kept of it. Mayor Gautereaux
said Councilman Morgan brought a lot of complaints to Council from this
area and asked what kind of interest he had down there. Councilman Morgan
sa?.d the escrow was opened last March with a small down payment; the
property was not on the tax rolls; and it will be one year now before it
can re on the tax rolls; if an escrow can not be closed in six months it
should be forced closed.

Morgan, the idea be turned over to the City Manager to talk over with
the Chief of Police and others who might be concerned and bring a report
back to the Council. Vice Mayor Allen said the medallions could be used
to help limit the number of cabs; the number could be set at 25 or 30;
the only way they could be transferred would be by sale by the owner or
by the death of an owner. Motion carried by unanimous vote. Mayor

CITY MANAGER OSBURN reported in regard to coin changing machines: machines
for changing coins cost about $125.00; a machine for making change for
one dollar bills cost about $1200 and would have to have about $300
worth of coins in it. The City Manager stated the machines have to be
installed inside; forcing business oumers to install machines would create
11/23/65
31
a hardship. Moved by Hogue, seconded by Morgan, we have them install the
change machines for change. Councilman Colburn said any person going
into business who has not properly prepared for his customers' comfort and
satisfaction has only taxed his own business; the adjoining businesses
could put signs in the window that due to the coin shortage they are
unable to make change for washing machines, etc.; if people were refused
change a few times they would prepare themselves next time. Councilman
Colburn stated the machines had to be installed in closed areas only
and this would force some businesses to prepare a closed area. Councilman
Hogue said the purpose of the motion was to alleviate the problem facing
the neighboring stores; it was to take these people out of a situation
where they felt forced to make change; if the business was open air an
attendant could be hired to make change. Mayor Gautereaux said the
concept of the motion was unconstitutional. Vice Mayor Allen said
the machines could not be insured in the open; pay telephones created a
change problem; police protection was not available for the pay telephones.
Councilman Hogue said he was willing to withdraw the motion, he could see
what the vote would be. City Attorney Carstens stated he looked into it
and could not state unequivocally it would violate constitutional rights;
whether or not it was within the police power of the Council for the health'
safety or welfare of the City was not certain; but it was close to the
borderline whether it was a reasonable exercise; he could give no authority
as there were no cases similar to this. The City Attorney said an ordinance
could be adopted and if someone wished to test it, it could be tested in
Court; there were no cases that said yes or no. Councilman Hogue asked if
new businesses of this type could be required to have the coin changers
installed inside before a business license could be issued. City Attorney
Carstens said it would be the same and the question was whether or not it
was a reasonable requirement; does the City have a reasonable justification
for requiring this. Mayor Gautereaux said in effect it would require a
bank be maintained in a business; with a cash balance to be maintained
for the convenience of the public. City Attorney Carstens said he would
We glad to defend the ordinance in Court; it was a problem; he researched
and found no similar case and the only way he could give answers was by
determining what happened in the past. City Attorney Carstens said it
was a borderline case and the only way the constitutionallitY could'
be determined would be by testing it in Court; there was a chance it would
be challenged and fought. Councilman Hogue said that was the way you
found out whether new laws were good or not; put them in and see what
the Court does. The City Attorney said legislation more exalted than this
has been found wrong by the Supreme Court; Congressional acts have been
found wrong. Councilman Hogue said the buiness people adjoining the coin
operated businesses complained and their rights should be protected.
Mayor Gautereaux said most of the laundromats have change makers. Council-
man Colburn said 3e do not have parking meters; but it was possible
each parking meterhhave a change maker. Councilman Colburn said the coin
operated businesses could put up signs that adjoining businesses should
not be asked to make change. Mayor Gautereaux said the proprietors of
businessmay not be aware the problem exists and recommended it be
brought to their attention through the Chamber of Commerce. Moved by
Hcrt'e, seconded by !``organ, the Mayor's recommendation be approved. Carried
by unanimous vote.

the building site. Vice Mayor Allen said the people who were in office
at the start were the ones whose names should be on the plaque. Councilman,

Mr. Osburn should be listed as Assistant City Manager. Moved by Morgan,

similar letter was received from Congressman Wilson's office and both
letters would be on file in her office. Mayor Gautereaux spoke of the need
for additional memorial grounds in San Diego and recommended if it can
not be maintained at the Fort Rosecrans site then the Council support
another site in San Diego. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Allen, the Mayor's
recommendation be approved. Councilman Colburn requested clarification
and asked what the motion included. Mayor Gautereaux stated if the Council

our Congressmen and Senators. Councilman Colburn asked who was permitted

to military personnel, or veterans, spouses and their children under 18.
