City pursuant to the new ordinance, the question was raised at the last meeting as to the fixing of rates. At the present time there are several resolutions setting forth rates; the matter has been discussed with the City Treasurer, and the City Attorney feels there is no necessity of rates being included in the same resolution, and if the Council desires there can be a resolution which will set forth all terms and conditions other than rates, and a separate resolution to set forth rates. In any event, at this time, it is the City Attorney's recommendation the City Treasurer make recom- mendations to the City Council with referenoe to the matter of rates so the various resolutions setting forth the amounts now paid can be put together in one resolution. Moved by Hart, seconded by Reid, the recommendation of the City Attorney in regard to rates for trash and garbage collection be approved. Carried, all the Council present vot- ing aye. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated with regard to the problem posed as to the situ- ation with which National City might be confronted next year at the time of having for the first time an election of a Mayor by the people rather than by the Council, the law has been examined and it appears as the law stands with the amendments presented to the Legislature there will be no difficulty. It means in the event one of the City Councilmen whose term does not expire desires to run for the office of Mayor he could do so without forfeiting his City Council seat. It further means in the event he were to be elected upon his qualifying by taking the Oath and doing whatever else is necessary in order to qualify for the office, his office as a City Councilman would then become vacant and the vacancy would be filled pursuant to the law the same as any other vacancy. ATTORNEY CURRAN reported in regard to the Final, Subdivision Map of Williams Manor No. 7. One of the requirements of Ordinance No. 803 in the event a subdivider desires to avail himself with the alternative procedure set up therein, is as follows: "The subdivider shall submit evidence, approved as to form and legality by the City Attorney, that he has completed arrangements with a public utility company or public agency whose business or function includes the supply of domestic water to install the required water t.pint", the quotation which fixes the duty of the City Attorney in these matters. The subdivider in this case, in an effort to comply with that section, has submitted a letter dated April 4, 1961, from the California Water & Telephone Company. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated he has considered the letter, together with the 4/18/61 407 agreement of the Wilco Development Company, and the proceedings of the Public Utilities Commission which acted upon the agreement, and pursu- ant to the duty imposed upon the City Attorney by virtue of the portion of the ordinance he read he concludes the subdivider has not complied with the section, and the evidence of the letter and agreement is deficient, for the following reasons: 1. The letter stated the Cali- fornia Water & Telephone Company will proceed when the balance is paid. 2. The letter stated as yet there is no assignment of the agreement. 3. Because of the fact the agreement itself is a part of the proceed- ings which subsequently are in discussion by virtue of an application made with the Public Utilities Commission it appears the prior approval of the Public Utilities Commission of the assignment of the Wilco Devel- opment Company agreement to John B. Morgan Construction Company must be had in order to make the agreement as to form and legality satisfac- tory pursuant to the ordinance. JOHN MORGAN, Subdivider of Williams Manor No. 7 was present and questioned just what he had to do to com- ply with the requirements. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated if we have the unequivocal commitment from the California Water & Telephone Company that you had completed arrangements to install the required water mains and nothing further remains to be done except for them to make the installation. MRS. ROBERT RICHARDS, 1411 E. 16th Street, was present and stated she would like the City Planner to point out the paragraph which permitted South Bay Plaza to bring in wild animals, trained perhaps, and on a leash, which performed, and it was advertised. CITY PLANNER STOCKMAN stated there is no section in the ordinance that prohibits the animals, there was no paid admission fee and the owners of the animals were not paid for their performance; however, the possible violation was pointed out to the property owners and they were notified Friday afternoon. HEARING ON EIGHTH STREET ANNEXATION was held at this time. CITY CLERK ALSTON reported she received no written protests, and no one was pres- ent in this regard.
