sold there should be emphasized the fact the City Hall is situated
on a portion of the area which has been dedicated as Kimball Park
and cannot be sold by the City unless there is a measure presented to
the people which would authorize the sale. The motion was that the
City Hall site be placed on the ballot, which raises this situation.

The law provided that in order to discontinue or abandon the use of
this land as a public park the City Council must by adoption of a
resolution discontinue the use of this land as a public park and a
public hearing be held. It is impossible to hold this hearing earlier
than 30 days from the time of the adoption of the resolution, and it
is impossible to prepare such a resolution until the actual legal
description of that portion which the City desires to sell be defined.
It will require further clarification before the City Attorney can
prepare any resolution in this matter. COUNCILMAN ALLEN stated as
he understands it, it will not be on the ballot for the people to
decide in April. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated whether or not the Council
decides to submit the matter to the people is up to the Council.
COUNCILMAN HART stated it would be too late to get it on the ballot,
and asked if that was not correct. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated that is
correct.
HERBERT A. ANDERSON, 2315 E. 16th Street, was present and presented
a memorandum enumerating the procedure he and Henry W. Rhodes of
2227 E. l6th Street, followed regarding their property upon Which
they are desirous of building four homes. COUNCILMAN HART suggested
Mr. Anderson, the City Manager, Building Inspector and City Engineer
get together and see if something cannot be worked out so Mr. Anderson
can build homes on the property. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated there was
a conference held at which there was present the representative of
Levelon Builders, City Engineer and the City Manager and at that time
the entire matter was reviewed, as noted in this particular brief
presented by Mr. Anderson. Mr. Bird stated he took the stand that as
far as a subdivision was concerned, this was not in actual sense a.
subdivision, rather it is very close to a moonlight subdivision, and
at that time it was definitely agreed they would get an opinion from
the Real Estate Commission. In regard to the question of the ease-
ment, they agreed to have Mr. Anderson have the easement dedicated
as a street. DON KERCHBER, 889 Maria Way, Chula Vista, representing
Levelon Builders, was present, and stated they are attempting to go
as far as they can w ithout going into a subdivision, Moved by Allen
seconded by Hart, this be referred back to the City Manager, the
City Engineer and City Planner to have a conference with these people
as soon as they can and see if they cannot come to some workable
solution. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. MR. HENRY
W. RHODES was present and stated there should be no problem regarding
the utilities.
SAMUEL A. KING, 826 Olive Street, was present relative to the retain-
ing wall in the 0. D. Arnold Estates Subdivision. Mr. King said the
2/16/60
296
wall gives the people in his area no privacy at all and the lights
coming from the cars shines directly in their windows, and thought
Mr. Arnold should be required to put up a board fence as originally
requested by the City Council. MRS. A. W. STRINGFELLOW, 811 Olive
Street, was present in regard to this same problem, and stated they
cannot sit in their living room without drawing the blinds and thought
something should be done to relieve this condition. COUNCILMAN
FESSMAN stated he was opposed to the action the Council took last
week and thought it was an invasion of their privacy, and until such
time as this fence is built and the people satisfied this problem
will not be solved. MAYOR HOLLINGSWORTH stated final action waa
taken last week and it would be impossible to require a six foot
fence on top of the wall. COUNCILMEN FESSMAN suggested the Council
rescind last week's action and require that fenoe to be built as.
originally requested. MRS. STRINGF.kLLCW asked what the restrictions
were if they desired to install a fence themselves. CITY BLABBER
STOCKMAN stated Ordinance 962 permits fences and walls not exceeding
8 feet in height and hedges may be located in yard areas provided
that if located in any front yard, or the exterior side yard of any
corner lot they shall not exceed 4 feet in height. COUNCILMAN ALLEN
asked if the people feel they have been hurt by not having the fence
built as originally requested, could they not bring a civil suit
against 0. D. Arnold. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated it is very clear from
the discussion that was held last week and many times in the past
at the time the City originally acted in this matter and the fence
was to be above the raised land. The action is final. A resolution
was prepared several months ago and there is no further action the
City can take with reference to that matter. COUNCILMAN ALLEN asked
if it would be a civil matter. ATTORNEY CURRkN stated it might be.
JAMES CHENEWETH, 2328 E. 6th Street, was present and stated he had
4 petition to present which contained some 2825 names. The petition
requested the City Council to reconsider the placing on the April
Ballot the question: "Shall the Mayor be elected by the people?"
Mr. Cheneweth said he would like to present the names of ap proxi-
mately 1800 today, and the other some 1200 he wished to present
later as he wanted to make a typewritten copy of the names before
they were turned over to the City. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated previous
action indicated there might be requested a resolution prepared in
this regard and a resolution has been prepared for some time and has
not been presented. Moved by Hart, seconded by alien, the resolu-
tion be brought up and voted on again.- Carried, by the following
