CITY ATTORNEY CARSTENS reported he has researched the law for an opinion in regard to authority and scope of the new government code providing for the Local Agency Formation Commission. There is no Attorney General's opinion. The law appears to be too broad and general. There is no direction in the Statute itself. The only definite advice would be a test case in the courts to determine the issue. Vice Mayor Allen inquired which of the first proposed annexation of the group were turned down by the Local Agency Formation Commission. Director of Planning Stockman stated "Granger No. 2" was the first. Mayor Gautereaux stated the condition made by the Commission is they will approve the annexation providing it goes to an election; this means they have circumvented the State Code on uninhabited annexations; and the question is whether or not they can legally circumvent the law. City Attorney Carstens stated this is what would have to be tested in court. (Councilman Hart left the Council Chamber.) Mayor Gautereaux asked if no conditions were placed on the annexation, does the statute provide when the petitions could be brought back within a one year period. City Attorney Carstens 2/11/64 254 stated they do not want to force National City to wait for one year. Vice Mayor Allen stated they wanted to extend the boundaries of the ter- ritory to be voted on. (Councilman Hart returned.) City Attorney Carstens stated they want a more substantial area to be annexed. Direc- tor of Planning Stockman stated "Granger No. 2" from the north and "Shelb' No. 2" from the south are the next two proposed annexations. Moved by Alien, since the annexations were approved, we refer the "Granger No. 2" to the City Attorney to proceed with annexation. Motion died for lack of second. City Attorney Carstens stated technically they are approved by the Commission on condition they have an inhabited annexation elec- tion. Moved by Alien, seconded by Morgan, "Granger No. 2 Annexation" be processed as an uninhabited annexation. Director of Planning Stockman stated the people would have to petition for annexation; under the new method of handling annexations, the City is petitioned after approval by the Boundary Commission and the Local Agency Formation Commission. Motion withdrawn by Allen; second withdrawn by Morgan. E. H. Alsdorf, 2105 "J" Avenue, was present and inquired if the Commit- tee meeting at Vacation Village is an interim committee appointed ny the State. Mayor Gautereaux said it is. Dick Knutson, 2110 "J" Avenue, was present and stated he would like to set the record straight on the 1911 Act Improvement of "J", "K", 2lst and 23rd Streets, which has been tabled because the necessary 4/5 vote cannot be obtained. He stated he has canvassed the district and has the names of all the persons in the district with an indication of whether they are for or against the measure. Mrs. Myrtle Knight, 2308 "L" Ave., was present and requested Mr. Knutson read the names on his list and indicate whether they are for or against the improvement. Mr. Knutson read the list and stated there are more than fifty percent of the people in favor of the improvement with the understanding sidewalks and curbs are to be omitted. Mayor Gautereaux stated because of the controversial nature of the item he would request order be maintained; everyone would be heard, but requested those who wished to speak to wait until they are recognized. Mr. Knutson requested the project be re -submitted for a vote. Mrs. Emma Hite, 933 E. 21st Street, was present and said although Mr. Knutson stated she and her husband were for the improvement, she nor her husband had ever talked to him and were against the cost of the improvement. Mable Scott, 1807 "J" Avenue, was present and said Mr. Knutson quoted Mr. Kirkpatrick as favoring the improvement and she was told he did not favor the improvement. City Manager Hess stated Mr. Kirkpatrick stated he would remain neutral. E. H. Alsdorf stated after talking to Mr. Knutson and with the omission of sidewalks and curbs he favored the improvement; but he stated he wanted the list of thosaopposec; to and favoring the improvement to be read by lot and block numbers, 2/11/64 255 not by names. Vice Mayor Allen asked for a show of hands to see how many people were present in this regard. Mr. Alsdorf stated he objected to this and only the lot numbers should be read. Mrs. Knight asked the City Engineer questions about the feet shown on the assessments for cer- tain property owners. The City Engineer stated the original roll showed the extra feet to improve the alley which had been dropped. Mrs. Knight also asked why there was a difference in price between the first and last assessments shown where the lots were about the same size. The City Engineer stated it was because of oversized driveway. Mrs. Rose Deering, 2006 "J" Avenue, was present and stated she was against the improvement because of the cost. Clarence E. Hatton, 2005 "J" Avenue, protested the cost of the improvement and stated he would like the exact number of yeses and nos. Mr. Knutson read the lot numbers and block numbers and indicated whether the owner was for or against the improve- ment. City Manager Hess said he counted 30 nos and 40 yeses. Council- man Morgan inquired if the present plan is to eliminate the sidewalks; that he plans to vote on this issue only after he has checked every house in the neighborhood. Mrs. Mabie Scott, 1807 "J" Avenue, and Mrs. Myrtle Knight questioned Mr. Knutson's facts stating they knew the Zuccors were against the improvement and Mr. Knutson said they were for it. Mrs. Ellen Gottshall, 2019 "J" Avenue, was present and stated she was under the delusion this was over several months ago and asked how long it could be kept tabled; she objected to the omission of 20th Street although she realized it was because the owners had not petitioned for improvement. Mrs. Knight stated the petition for the improvement was circulated by Mr. Allen and Mr. Christman through the Chamber of Com- merce. City Manager Hess stated the cost of the improvement is now estimated to be $119,355.09 with the omission of sidewalks; the cost with sidewalks was estimated to be $140,300; and $90,000 has already been spent on the drainage. Mrs. David McCarthy, 2304 "K" Avenue, was present and asked when the motion to table the issue was made; she can find no reference to it in the minutes. Vice Mayor Allen stated the fact is that it requires a 4 to 1 vote; the Resolution to continue the project did pass 3 to 2. Councilman Morgan stated if the sidewalks are dropped he will canvass the neighborhood and see how many are in favor of proceeding and if it is a majority he will vote for it. Moved by Allen to continue to the next order of business. Jaime Davis, 2426 "J" Avenue, was present and stated we were right in the first place and Mr. Knutson has proved it again. Mr. Davis stated if a canvass of the neighborhood is made by Mr. Morgan he would like him to be accompanied by another councilman, and not Mr. Hart. Mr. Alsdorf stated the lots and numbers given by Mr. Knutson cannot be taken as fact. Mrs. Gottshall. and Mr. Hatton spoke again. Mr. Knutson requested a vote on the issue 2/11/64 256 tonight; either it is in or it is out. Mayor Gautereaux stated the only chance for this is in the heart of Mr. Morgan and if he wants to bring it back, he can and it can proceed. COUNCILMAN COLBURN stated there is an ordinance in effect in National City which prohibits buildings being moved into the City and he believes there should be a change to permit buildings of certain quality to be moved within the City limits. Moved by Colburn, the City Manager, Direc- for of Planning, and Director of Public Works be authorized to study the ordinance and bring a recommendation to the Council. Motion died for lack of a second. Mayor Gautereaux asked if there was something speci- fic or if the entire ordinance was being challenged.
