The defic- iencies are as follows: First, there is the provision in our Ordi- nance 962, there be attached to the petition itself an acknowledgment in writing of the majority of the property owners within a radius of 300 feet stating they have read the petition. The second deficiency is the petition is not verified by the owners.

Carried, all the Council present voting aye. ATTORNEY CURRAN reported the Council of the City of San Diego adopted a resolution whereby, as stated in the resolution "in the interest of friendly relations and to facilitate and aid our neighboring cities and the officers thereof in determining quickly and easily the status of the law adopted by the City of San Diego such cities should be fur- nished with copies of the San Diego Municipal Code." Attorney Curran stated he was advised of this and yesterday at the invitation of the City Clerk he picked up a copy of this Municipal Code and he has written a letter to the Council of San Diego thanking them for their courtesy in this matter. ATTORNEY CURRAN reported the Assessor of San Diego County by letter to the City Clerk has called our attention to the fact there are cer- tain areas now in National City which remain within a local fire dis- trict. This comes about because of a change in the law; there is not automatically a withdrawal of territory which is annexed to a city when that territory is a portion of a local fire district. Attorney Curran stated it is his understanding the City Manager would recom- mend that the annexations which we have had recently; namely the Hobson, Hynum No. 2, Sweetwater No. 1, and Lois should by resolution be withdrawn from the Lower Sweetwater Local Fire District. Moved by Allen, seconded by Morgan, the City Attorney prepare a resolution that withdraws the four annexations recently to National City; Lois, 5-10-60 434 Bynum No. 2, Sweetwater No. 1, and Hobson Annexation from the Lower Sweetwater Fire District.

ATTORNEY CURRAN reported a notice has been served on the Building Department by Great American Insurance Company of New York that the bond of Joseph F. or Marjory T. Connolly will be cancelled effective May 13th. Attorney Curran stated he is under the impression this likewise is a Sidewalk License Bond, and if so, the same action should be taken on this notice as was taken on the last one. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hart, the recommendation of the City Attorney in regards to the bond of Joseph P. or Marjory T. Connolly that is expiring be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. RAY SHOTW.ELL, 716 E. First Street, was present, and said he wished to express his thanks to the Mayor, the Council and the Department Heads for their unselfish devotion to the City of National City and their untiring work for the betterment of our City, and requested a small boat ramp. At the present time it is necessary to take their boats around the strand to the City of Coronado; they pay Coronado a launch- ing fee of fifty cents and a parking fee of fifty cents. Mr. Shotwell said he believed ninety percent of that business could be in National City if we could speed up this little ramp.

MARTHA CLARK, 2133 National Avenue, was present and stated she would like to know if the Council will be having any night meetings; that she thought there should be at least two a month. MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH stated, answering for herself, there will be none. If we hold night meetings we must give compensating time off to the employees, and from a business standpoint and from an economic standpoint, it is much better the meetings be held in the day time. COUNCILMAN ALLEN favored two night meetings a month and VICE MAYOR HART favored one meeting a month at night. MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH stated it would be 5-10-60 necessary to adopt an ordinance changing the time of meetings. COUN- OILPAN ALIEN said he thought perhaps it would be well to have a peti- tion brought in with a sufficient number of names, and if there is a petition presented with any number of names that sounds reasonable he would approve an ordinance to that effect. EVE BISBERG, 1826 E. 8th Street, was present, and stated she would like to know the number of the ordinance regulating Council meetings, and with that information they could present a petition. Mrs. Bis- berg made mention to the salary paid the City Attorney per month, in addition to what he has received for a period of seven months. COUNCILMAN ALT,'N stated he was called by a member of the National City Police Relief Association and was informed that this evening at 7:30 p.m. in the squad room they are holding a meeting in regard to a pro- posed ordinance they are trying to pass in Los Angeles which is spon- sored by the Civil Liberties Union. Mr. Allen said he understands this Union is on the subversive list. This would take all the police power away from the policemen and also there is one portion which makes it mandatory for the City Clerk to honor a $500.00 request from any person who is arrested and claims -he is innocent; also states he is not to be held liable or responsible for certain sections of the Los Angeles ordinance which has to do w ith fraud, perjury, lying and such things.
