Driver Company, Inc. has issued a certificate of insurance showing V. E. Posey has bodily injury and property damage insurance in an amount satisfactory to the City of National City, and recommended the certificate be filed. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hart, the certifi- cate be filed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY CURRAN WAS read, stating in the event the City Council desires to pass a trampoline ordinance it is his recommendation it be made mandatory the trampoline center have bodily injury public liability insurance coverage in the sum of at least $100,000.00 per person and $300,1400.00 per occurrence, and medical payment coverage in the sum of $5,000.00 per person. Recent events in this County have shown that serious injuries can result from the operation of a trampoline center. If the Council is going to regulate trampoline centers at all they should make certain people who use them are protected. Moved by Allen, City Attorney Curran report on whether in his opinion the El Cajon ordinance would take care of the needs of National City. MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH stated this is the 6/14/60 47 Attorney's report; namely he recommended the higher rate of insurance: rather than the amount Mr. Thomas carries. Motion died for lack of L. second. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hart, we adopt an ordinance similar to the Ll Cajon ordinance including the recommendations of tl, City Attorney as to the minimum amount of insurance. WENDiELL THOMAa, owner of the plying High Trampoline Center at 35 E. 16th Street, was present, and stated if the insurance is increased to $100,000.00 anr. $300,000.0.0 it will create a hardship. VICE MAYOR HART stated he wished to withdraw his second in order to hold this over one week to give it more thought and consult it further with our City Attorneys ATTORNEY GOLDEN stated he could tell the Council Attorney Currants thinking on the matter. The judgments in the Courts today are ex. ceedingly higher than they were years ago. The City of National city is in the position to try and protect someone that is injured, such as a broken neck; these things would result in a tremendous judgment were they to go to Court. We are long past the days of $50,000.00 judgments being considered high, and what Attorney Currants interest is, not so much Mr. Thomas' center but there are other trampoline centers operating, and will not take the due care Mr. Thomas pe-.hape takes in the operation of the center; so it is all the more important if they are not going to be there to protect these children from "horse play" which they will do, he wants to be sure if someone is injured there is some financial responsibility to protect them. VICE MAYOR E RT .said he would leave his second to t ae motion, stand. COUNCILMAN MORGAN said he would like to see this laid over until next week. ATTORNEY GOLDEN stated Attorney Curran will not be present next week. MR, THOMAS stated if he has to increase hie insurance he bae 4 tramoo1440 oentor for sale to an0047 w multi; 10 bAY t' There are a lot more important things that should be in the ordinance than insurance. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY CU»RAN stated examination of the Division of Highways Memorandum of Agreement for Expenditure of Gas Tax Allocation revealed the proposed agreement contains the same requirement whereby the City would hold any State officer or employee harmless as was contained in a previous agreement submitted by the Division of High- ways. After conferring with the Chief Counsel of the Division of Highways in this matter a few months ago, it was ruled this require- ment could be deleted, therefore, provided that Paragraph VIII of the proposed agreement is deleted in its entirety it is the recommendation of the City Attorney the agreement be approved and adoption of the resolution authorizing its execution on behalf of the City of National City. Moved by Allen, seconded by Reid, the recommendation of the City Attorney in regard to the Division of Highways agreement be 6/14/60 approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY CURRAN was read, stating with reference to the question asked by a resident as to the responsibility for damages done to a oar or to children resulting from glass being left on the street after an accident, it is clear the question calls for an opinion ci a matter of private law with which the City is not concerned ekt'ept to a extent the question suggests there might be a legal respondibilityAnn the part of the City. Ordinarily persons in- volved in an automobileAccident, helpful by-standers and neighbors arriving at the scene of the accident take care and make certain glass is not left on the City's streets after an accident. In the event the task is too great for the individuals available at the time of the accident, it seems clear the Supt, of Streets would arrange for collection of such material from the City's streets upon receiving a telephone call. In any event the City would not be legally reliable in damages in such a situation unless the glass were to be left upon the City's streets for a long period of time after the City officials had knowledge the glass was on the City's street. REPORT FROM CITY ATTORdEY'CURRAN-:Stated the ordinance.fixing a hearing date for -the proposed vacation of l9th Street between Hoover and Roosevelt Avenues cannot be prepared until such time as the City Engineer has prepared and .placed on file in the City Clerk's office, a drawing giving the particulars as to the proposed street vacation. The City Attorney has requested the City Engineer:to prepare such a map. 471 REPORT PROM CITY ATTORNEY CURRAN was read, recommending he be authorizedto prepare and submit, to the Council an amendment to Ordinance No, 879 for the following reasons This ordinance levies e otArge for garbage and z b' i e; eclleetion cervices 4geinet the persons served. The City Treasurer has encoun eyed gist difficulty in collecting all of theservice charges that become duepursuant to this ordinance. With reference to apartment houses, arrangements have been madewith many apartmemt.house owners to add the charges to the rent and these owners have assumed the payment of the charges to the City.. Recently, however, some apartment house owners have refused to cooperate and action was instituted in Small Claims Court against two such uncooperative apartment house owners. The Judge of the Justice Court fou*d these owners were liable for the charges; appeals were then filed in the Superior Court. Judge Sherry ruled the ordinance does not now permit the City to collect charges from the property owner. At the time the ordinance was drawn it was intended to levy the charge against the occupant rather than the owner. Since the adoption of this ordinance the Supreme Court of he 6/14/60 2 State of California has cleared up points of law which were formerly in controversy as to the authority of the City to levy such charges, As a result of the Supreme Court decision, the City Attorney is of the opinion that Ordinance No. 879 can now be amended to provide that the City can look to the property owner for the payment of garbage and rubbish collection fees. COUNCILMAN ALIEN stated he would like to have the Council think about this recommendation. If the property owner is going to have to pay for garbage collection, that every property owner in National City pay a certain amount of the garbage collection, whether it is a vacant lot or anything else. MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH stated she thinks there is a way for those peop3.r who are renting property to charge a little more rent to take care of the charges for garbage and rubbish collection. COUNCILMAN MORGAN stated he did not think we should charge vacant property. VICE MAYOR HART and COUNCILMAN REID thought the property owner regardless whether it is an apartment house or a singld house he should be re- sponsible, MRS. RICHARDS, 1411 E. 16th Street, was present and state'. she personally pays the trash and garbage collection charges on her rentals; but she did not agree the City should make every property owner pay because there are a lot of vacancies. CITY TREASURER Kk RR stated the thought perhaps the wrong idea is being brought forth be- cause when the property owner, such as apartment houses, duplexes, etc. is responsible for the bill, or will let us send the bill to them they are given a cheaper rate for the sanitation, namely 750 a unit instead of $1.00. The ordinance does not mean that we cannot charge the rental, we can continue charging the rental, but if the tenant leaves without paying the bill then we go back to the property owner for payment. People move out and the property owners do not notify us, sometimes there are two or three changes without our knowix'ig about it. We are not trying to say the property owner must payt we are just trying to collect some of these bad debts; and there ie nothing we can actually take ahold of. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated 'at the conference in St. Paul a clerk asked what was done with de- linquent collections on sanitation, and there was a city which adopted the policy that when a person is delinquent on their sanita- tion bill, their bill is increased fifty percent, and they stated =t really stopped the delinquencies. MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH asked if we ha:. a penalty clause in our ordinance, and thougbtit might be an excellent thing to add in the change of the ordinance. CITY TREASURER KS;RR stated there are several things they would like to discuss with the City Attorney before an ordinance is prepared. Moved by Allen, seconded by Morgan, this be held over for the recommendations from the City Treasurer's department. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. 6/14/60 473 HEARING ON RESOLUTION OP INTENTION FOR IMPROVEMENT OF HOOV 2 .A_VERU FROM 13TH STREET TO 18TH STREET, was held at this time. CITY CLERK ALSTON reported she received no written protests; and no one was present in this regard. Moved by Alien, seconded by Hart, the hearing be closed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT FROM ATTORNEY CURRAN stated California Water and Telephone Company has submitted a new agreement for performing the relocation work on 8th Street between Sanitarium and "L" Avenues. This agree- ment has V. C. Posey as an additional party. The agreement provides that the California Water and Telephone Company will be given forty days to perform its work and V. E. Posey will not have to commence work on his contract until the end of such forty day period. With this agreement on the part of V. B. Posey there is no longer any legal obligations to National City entering into the agreement with the California Water & Telephone Company and it was the reoommendatiox of the City Attorney a resolution be authorized approving the execu- tion of the agreement. Moved by Allen, seconded by Reid, the recommendation of the City Attorney in regard to a resolution for a continuation of V. E. Posey contract on E. 8th Street be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REkORT PROM CITY ATTORNEY CURRAN was read, stating the following certificates of insurance have been examined and recommended they be filed: Industrial Indemnity Company's certificate showing V. E. Posey has a workmen's compensation policy; United States Fire Insurance Company's certificate showing Lts-Hokin & Galvan has instil - liability liability insurance; Glen Falls Insurance Company's certificate showing National City Rubbish Service has public liability and property damage.
