COUNCILMAN ALLEN stated a few weeks ago we made a motion to change the policy of the Council regarding Commissions and Boards, making it man- datory for them to recommend three members for replacements; however, we did say if they so desired to recommend people they could.

AB 421 has already gone before hearing, as of yesterday; which would add section 1745 to the Labor Code to prohibit civil service employees (other than those employees regularly employed in a building or construction category or classification) of state and local governmental agencies from perform- ing "any building or construction work of any nature whatsoever." AB 494 would add section 220.3 to the Labor Code requiring all publio agencies, including cities, to "make contributions in the same manner and on the same basis as made by private employers to health and wel- fare, pension, vacation, paid holiday, apprentice training and any other similar plans or funds for the benefit of the employees as to any persons similarly employed by them." AB 350 adds section 1102.5 to the Labor Code prohibiting the state and all local governmental agencies from enacting or enforcing any statute, law, ordinance or regulation "which limits, during their off -duty hours, the participation of employees in political activities." AB 625 would amend section 1171 of the Labor Code to make all of the provisions of the Labor Code appli- cable to the employment of women and minors in private trade and indus- try applicable to women and minors employed in all state and local gov- ernmental agencies." These three Bills will be heard on Thursday, T'Iarch 23rd before the Assembly Committee on Industrial Relations. Moved by Allen, seconded by Reid, the City Clerk be authorized to send a telegram to our representatives on those still pending, and the Bill that has just passed, a communication be sent stating we are opposed to these particular bills. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated there is a Constitutional amendment, ACA 31 which would add section 9b to Article XIII, Which provides "No tax bur- den shall be imposed upon any real or personal property, either tangi- ble or intangible, in any single year which exceeds two percent of the "full cash value" of such real or personal property in such tax year. To give effect to this limitation of tax burden, such real or personal property shall be assessed at a valuation, which, when multiplied by the total tax rate, in all taxing jurisdictions in which property is located, for the tax year next preceding the tax year for which such assessment is made, would create a tax burden not to exceed two percent of the "full cash value" of such property; provided, household furni- ture used by a householder in his personal residence shall be exempted from ad valorem taxation." AB 401 would add sections 4500 through 4503 to the Government Code declaring it to be the public policy of the State all local governmental agencies shall maintain a neutral position in 3/21/61 361 relation to any trade dispute. In the event of a trade dispute, the unavailability of supplies and services to a city under this proposal could seriously disrupt vital city services. For example, if a party to the trade dispute were a privately -owned electric utility., the city would probably be prohibited from using utility services until the die., pute bad been settld. Similarly, if a trade dispute involving gasoline were in progress in the community, the ability of the city to obtain supplies of gasoline for its police care and fire equipment would be in jeopardy. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he would recommend the Council be opposed to the bill, and the members of the Assembly Committee on Industrial Relations should be so notified. Moved by Allen, seconded by Reid, we go on record, and send communioations to our representa- tives we oppose the bill. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated there are two important bills coming up deal- ing with city annexations and they will be heard by the Assembly Com- mittee on Municipal and County Government on Thursday, March 30th. These bills, introduced by Assemblyman DeLotto, are supported by the League in the belief they will be helpful to cities in the orderly expansion of their boundaries and in providing municipal services in the most efficient manner. AB 1914 would authorize cities to petition the Board of Supervisors for the annexation to the city of uninoorpor aad'territory entirely surrounded by the annexing city or partially surrounded by the city in a manner no longer permitted under the "exation laws of the State. No such annexation could exceed 60 acres An area. Under this proposal the Board of Supervisors would hold a while hearing and, after hearing all protests, either declare the ter- ritory annexed or refuse to permit the annexation of the territory. The purpose of AB 1914 is to permit the orderly annexation of unincor- porated islands and those strips and oorridors of unincorporated ter- ritory within a city which were validly created, but as a result of absequent State legislation, may no longer be validly created. Enact- ment of this legislation would permit cities to bring within their limits those areas within or partly within which presently create many difficult service problems. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated AB 1935 is a very important bill; it would authorize cities to enter into airs agreement defining future growth areas. This bill would permit a .ties to plan future growth areas and to make such plans legally enforceable. CITY'MANAG;R BIRD stated ACA 23 and AB 720 by the same authors would place both in the State Conetituttion and in the statutory law of the State a prohibition against strikes on the part of all public employees. AGA 23 will be heard by the Assembly Committee on Constitutional 3/21/61 362 Amendments on Monday, April 3, and AB 720 will be heard by the Assembly Committee on Industrial Relations on Thursday, April 13th. Both of these measures make strikes a cause for immediate discharge from pub - lie employment with a forfeiture of civil service Status and a prohibi- tion against reemployment by a public agency for a period of three years. AB 351, Collective bargaining for all public employees with a right to strike, has been set for hearing on Thursday, April 6th by the Assembly Committee on Industrial Relations. Moved by Allen, seconded by Morgan, we go against the bill coming up before the Industrial Rela- tions group saying they would have the right to strike. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT OF CITY TREASURER for period ending February 28, 1961, was pre- sented. It was the City Manager's recommendation the report be received and placed on file with the City Clerk. Moved by Morgan, seconded by Hart, the City Manager's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY CLERK ALSTON presented the Affidavit of Publication of Ordinance 990 regarding Sweetwater Heights Annexation; also Affidavit of Publi- cation of Resolution 7878 regarding Eighth Street Annexation. Moved by Allen, seconded by Reid, the Affidavits be filed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION was read, relative to the Lincoln Acres Annexation Petition signed by 22 persons requesting permission to commence annexation proceedings referred to the Commission at the regular meeting of the Council on March 14th was considered at a special meeting held by the Commission on March 20th. The area, to be known as the Lincoln Acres Annexation, contains some 394.2 acres, is populated with approximately 3,500 people. The proposed annexation lies between 24th Street and River Road, between the Sweetwater Heights Annexation and Edgemere Road. The Commission recommended the annexation be approved. Moved by Allen, seconded by Morgan, the recommendation of the Planning Commission be approved, and the petition be referred to the City Attorney for the necessary resolution, and the City Planner be instruoted to forward to the San Diego County Boundary Commission the necessary documents for their approval. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH stated she wished to thank Mr. Johnson for a very nice article about our Recreation Department in last week's Independent. MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH stated she wished to appoint all of the Council mem- bers to the Real Estate Committee to meet with any people interested in leasing or buying the surplus property; and appointed Kite Morgan, 3/21/61 363 Chairman; Luther Reid as Vice Chairman; and three of the Committee will constitute a quorum. JOSEPH COLAINNI, President of the Lincoln Acres Civio Club, was present and stated he would like to inform the Council how much help the City Manager and the Planning Commission have been to them; and on behalf of the Civic Club it is so appreciated. Tonight they are having a meeting at 7:30 but he did not want any City officials present as there are a number of problems to "be ironed out." The Civic Club has given its wholehearted approval to the proposed annexation. Mr. Colainni asked if the annexation is approved will there be a Post Office sub- ation so the people who are now working there can maintain their jobs. VICE MAYOR HART said the Postmaster would have to give the information regarding the Post Office; the City would have nothing to do with it. Moved by Reid, seconded by Morgan, the meeting be closed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. Meeting closed at 3:22 p.m. ATTEST: bITY oLERK MAYOR. C F PAT ONAL , CALI ORI7IA 3/21/61
