V. Parke and Lester Parker dba Lester Parker Truck Company and/or Parker Truck Company, and recommended the duplicate original eolicy No, 9997303 be filed, Moved by Reid, seeonded by Morgan, the policy be filed, Car- ried, all the Council present voting aye. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated with reference to the question as to the legal effect of the failure of the newspaper to publish properly the name of the Mayor on an ordinance, the middle initial being incorrect; examine tion of the statutes which control this problem indicates in National City at the present time it really is not necessary to publish ordi- nances; the reason is at the present time there is no newspaper which is printed and published within the boundaries of the City. Some few years ago the City Attorney called the attention of the City Clerk to 6/6/61 466 the possibility of the question of publication arising and it was agreed at that time the City Clerk would post three copies in public places of each ordinance passed by the City of National City. The posting, under the existing circumstances satisfy the requirements of the law; therefore, the error on the part of the newspaper is immaterial and as long as the posting is properly taken care of there is no question as to the legality of the ordinance. ATTORNEY CURR.AN reported on the suit which was filed in the Superior Court by John Woolman, F. W. Sutherland, and L. W. Sutherland, co- partners, doing business as Sutherland & Associates, vs. Jose. Castillo, and the City of National City. Attorney Curran stated in the action the presiding judge of the Superior Court of San Diego County made an order shortening time so the City Attorney was required to make a Court appearance on the afternoon of the morning in which the papers were served on the City. The City appears to be protected because of the fact the defendant, Jose Castillo, has a bond which requires him to faithfully perform his contract with the City. The dispute in essence is a matter of competitors contesting each other's rights. It is a situation in which the City unfortunately is caught in the middle betwee the competition of the plaintiffs and the defendant, Jose Castillo. The Court, after a hearing, which does not finally settle the matter, issued a preliminary injunction, The defendant, Jose Castillo, was not awed, did not appear in Court, and by taking the proper steps will have his opportunity in Court to contest the action. In the meantime, the preliminary injunction does prohibit the City from permitting the defendant, Jose Castillo, to remove any portion of the buildings which he contracted to remove from the Olivewood Housing site except by demolishing, tearing and rendering such structures apart. Until such time as there is a further hearing on the matter there is nothing to be done by the City. COUNCILMAN ALLEN asked the City Manager if it was true the contract called for demolishing of the buildings instead of removing them whole or partially demolished, ATTORNEY CURRAN stated the question which has been posed is the point at issue to be deter- mined by the Court, and sinoe this is a matter of litigation it would not appear to be in the best interest of the City for any statements to be made publicly by any City official whioh involved the ultimate deter- mination of the officers, and be would, therefore, request the Council- man who put the question be requested to pass over the matter or with- draw the question at this time. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Reid, the question not be answered by the City Manager at this time. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Hollingsworth, Morgan, Reid, Hart. Nays: Allen. 6/6/61 467 ATTORNEY CURRAN stated in regard to an order of the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California, Case No. 6148, which is a case where a decision was made some time ago, the City Attorney was author- ized to appear, It was a long drawn out hearing and the City Attorney only participated one day in the hearing in Los Angeles. A decision was made which was supplemented by a more recent decision to which several of the utilities in the State of California have taken excep- tion, including the San Diego Gas & Electric Company and the California Water & Telephone Company. The determination the rublic Utilities Com- mission made in the re -hearing which was granted on the application of the utilities in the matter, is of direct concern to our hearing of the application of the San Diego Gas & Electric Company for increase in gas rates. The City .attorney requested permission to attend a one day hearing, Monday, June 12th, in San Francisco with reference to Case No. 6148; and further requested, rather than being at the Council meet- ing next Tuesday he be permitted to go to Sacramento to attend a por- tion of the session of the Public Library Conference which is being held in Sacramento that date.
