CITY ATTO „NkY CA STEMS stated in regard to the City Clerk's r-Jusal to
sign the checks for the police back over -time pay authorized by the
City Council }n July 2nd, a mandamus action is being prepared and is
either being filed now or will e this afternoon. The action of the
Council was within their rights. On the other hand the question of
malfeasance is an independent matter and there is no indication Mrs.
Stratton's action was misconduct or malfeasance; a city official who
is bonded must make own decision and has the legal right to a hearing
in court if so desired. It is our legal opinion she will be -.ordered
to sign the checks Whether any individual feels she acted correctly
or incorrectiy, there is no malfeasance. It is one of the enigmas of
public life. He further stated he could not recommend any action be
taken personally for misconduct or malfeasance, the Writ of Mandamus
will :e against the City Clerk. Moved :y Alien, seconded by Colburn,

COUNCILMAN COL3URN reported he attended a San Diego County Hass Tran-
sit meeting at the San Diego Chamber of Comerce where the San Diego
Transit System was discussed: ways of trying to continue it or in-
crease its value in our town. One method is to have the Federal Govern-
ment participate in experiments to determine what is needed and the
City of San Diego has asked if any of the other City Co,ncils would ob-
ject to San Diego's becoming the official applicant for federal funds.
Moved by Allen, seconded by Colburn, we go on record as not objecting
to San Diego's becoming the official pplicant. Mayor Gautereaux in-
quired what the area of experimentation embraces. Councilman Colburn
stated in some towns in the East they have increased bus service in
certain areas to see if this was what caused non-use; have tried ex-
press bus service; and have tried buses of varying seating capacity.
The experimentation would not involve National City financially but
would affect service through the South Jay area. Mayor Gautereuax
stated when he attended the A.M.A. Conference in Houston he learned a
law was just passed by Congress giving the Federal Government the right
to step in and buy any transit coipany in financial trouble; he thinks
we are getting to a point of losing our autonomous position when we con-
tinue to look to the Federal Government. He stated he has not read the
law completely, 'gut it is his understanding that the Federal Government
could step in and take over the system in case the San Diego Transit
System says they will not be able to operate in 1965. If we show we
can take over at the local level, we shall be able to remain autonomous.
Councilman Morgan stated whenever we send money to the Federal Govern.
ment we net back thirty-five to fifty cents on the dollar. Motion

Colburn, Hart, Morgan, Gautereaux.

tournament director. He also stated he is sure this tournament will

the Pony Leataue World Series, he hopes Kearny Mesa will be.

Nation at the local level of government was adopted by the assembly.
The Mayor stated he had the opportunity of appearing in the uomiunity
Facilities Committee where all of the policy is for the American
;Municipal :`association to be used as guidelines by Concr:ss and Senate,
endorsed by 13,000 cities throughout the United States as what we want
our Federal legislators to enact in legislation. The A.M.A. adopted a
policy of enco:araging the extending the Accelerated Public Uorks Pro-
jects where there is an unemployment factor of G% or more. They also
adopted the policy to ask for another S450,000,000 appropriation for
community facility loans available to Cities at reduced interest rates
for community buildings, etc. Mayor Gautereaux stated a disturbing
factor, as revealed at the Conference, is the tremendous amount of Fed-
eral influence on the cities of perpetuating buraus set up to assist
the cities in a respective area of endeavor such as air pollution, re-
search, solid waste, highways, etc., remaining in a position of exert-
ing influence on cities to a point they lose their autonomy. He stated
it is something that should be recognized by the League of California
Cities. The Mayor read a letter from Mr. Alsdorf addressed to the
Mayor and City Council, received prior to leaving for Houston which
stated Mr. Alsdorf did not think the expenses of the trip were properly
chargeable to the City. The Mayor stated he thinks the City has much
at stake end the destiny of every city in the United States is linked
to the policy adopted at this Conference in respect to the Federal
leaders of government; and that last year his primary purpose in going
to Pennsylvania was to attend the Conference, not to attend the Pony
League World Series.
MAYOR GATERCAUX stated one of the most pressing problems is that of
youth employment and he has a copy of "The Challenge of Youth" which
he would like to share with the Council, also a letter from the Con-
ference of Mayors concerning Youth Employment. He stated he feels
there is a need for a committee or commission to study school drop-
outs and youth employment. He stated to help get this off the ground
the City could institute a small program of weed abatement. The City
Manager has been contacted in regard to use of several crews of young
men to work through the Public Works Department for weed abatement in
parkways throughout the City; they would work weekends. The City Man-
ager has said he is in favor of it. The Mayor said ten to twenty
young men might be hired, and if the Council favors the plan, the City
Manager could make a recommendation as to how the program could be in-
stituted immediately and do more study in the area, possibly having an
advisory committee to study the problem of youth employment. Moved by
Allen, seconded by Hart, the Mayor's recommendation be approved.
Carried by unanimous vote.

Tecate and Ensenada a large amount of work has been accomplished in
establishing the relationship. have a new concept in the sister
city program; whereas previous sister city programs involved two
cities, National City would be the first to come up with a tri-city
relationship. To establish the program, it is necessary to form a
citizens committee to manifest the first interest in wanting to estab-
lish a sister city. Mayor Gautereaux asked the news media to publicize
the need for interested citizens to form and serve on such a comittee
and to contact theMayor's office for information. The Mayor stated
