cil present voting aye.
ATTORNEY CURRAN stated the request for a change in the provisions
of Ordinance No. 811 so as to give an exemption from this ordinance
has been examined and considered by him. It is not clear as to what
the Council intended when the matter was submitted to him, and it
appears the letter shows on it's face the party who desires this
change in the ordinance is really attempting to set up a new class
and type of operation of auctions, and it would be a question of
policy as to whether or not the type of auctions he is proposing to
conduct should be exempted as suggested, or in the event it was
deemed desirable to permit this type of auction it should be given
a special category and provide for a special license. Perhaps this
is a matter the Council should consider and advise the City Attorney
in the future what it desires in this matter.
ATTORNEY CURRAN reported he will be away for a few weeks vacation,
and has made arrangements for his partner, Thomas P. Golden to take
care of all the necessary court appearance and to perform whatever
legal services are necessary for the City during the period of his
absence.

TOM L.EONARD, 2740 Lincoln Court, was present, protesting to assign-
ing the Chamber of Commerce as the City's advertiser until there
is assurance given the City the kind of advertising encompassed in
the announcement of the Chamber's President last February 4th that
National City is 'undoubtedly. the dirtiest city south of Los
Angeles", will not be repeated in spirit or in kind for the duration
of the contract.
MARTHA CLARK, 2133 National Avenue, was present, and stated she
would like to know why the 21 Club was not required to have a park-
ing lot for unloading and loading of merchandise as the ordinance
requires that every building in excess of 3,000 square feet must
have a parking space. MAYOR HODGE suggested Mrs. Clark take this
matter up with Mrs. Stockman, City Planner, and if Mrs. Clark does
not get a satisfactory answer, then bring her problem to the Council.
ATTORNEY JAMES BEAR was present and stated he represented Warren K.
Bolding in regard to the bid he has submitted to the Council and he
would like to clarify the record on one particular point. It has
come to his information, as far as garbage collection is concerned,
no fee is paid by the City for any new garbage collection, that
being the case, the wording of his bid which states; "The City
shall pay me for new business establishments and the expansion of
business establishments now in existence in accordance with regula
tions now existing under the present contract," would mean he would
not expect to be paid for new business. MAYOR HODGE stated the mat-
ter of the bids will come under the City Manager's report later in
the meeting.
COUNCILMAN - ALLEN- stated with regard to bumper to bumper parking
along National Avenue, he thought if the painted lines were extended

commendation. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.

closed right of way document covering their above installations at

GER BIRD stated it is his understanding that "F" Avenue as of the

are attempting to get the necessary easements which the Gas Company
required to withdraw it's original objection. The Gas Company is
now requesting the City Council to authorize the Mayor to maintain

CITY MANAGER BIRD stated the possibility of changing the Subdivision
Ordinance has been considered. We receive numerous complaints re-
garding the provision of our Ordinance which requires the staking
of corner lots. The question was raised by 0. D. Arnold, by Macoo
Corp. and has now been raised by Mr. Williams. It seems the ac-
cepted method now is the front corner markings are placed in the
sidewalk instead of a driven stake in the corner. The Arnold Sub-
6.ivisions cannot be accepted until that is done, and National ..ward
-times has raised the question. Engineering wise it is a good method
to follow of placing the corner stakes within the sidewalks. The
matter is being brought before the Council to ascertain if they
wish a change in the ordinance to allow such a procedure. CITY
ENGINE.at LILL stated the monumenting of subdivisions is spelled out
in Ordinance 803, but the ordinance was written before the side-
walks were installed in that subdivision, now the sidewalks are in-
stalled and the streets graded, and it has been the practice in
douthern California in recent years to offset a point in the side-
walks, which he would prefer, Moved by Pessman, seconded by Hart,

Engineer to draw up an amendment to

voting aye.
CITY MANAGER BIRD stated a number of years ago in order to get
through the 18th Street project we went to Mr. Morefield on the
Northeast corner of 18th and Palm Avenue and succeeded in getting a
deed from him for 632.10 feet along the accepted line of 18th Street.
We have only used a portion, and recommended the necessary steps be
taken to close a portion of 18th Street. Moved by Fessman, seconded
by Allen, that steps be taken to close the street. Carried, by the
following vote to -wit: Ayes: Allen, Fessman, Hart, Hollingsworth,
Hodge. Nays: None.
CITY MANAGER BIRD stated in regard to adequate marking for parking;
we will place signs under the two hour and one hour parking signs
which now exist, with an extension on them which will set up the
new Ordinance 945, and will amply notify the people who are parking,
and we will work out with the Police Department on a warning system
first, and hope to have the cooperation of the newspaper, which we
are assured of. This should give adequate notification to the pub-
lic in the matter of correcting our parking difficulties.
CITY MANAGER BIRD stated with reference to the trash and garbage
bids which were referred to the City Attorney and City Manager for
a report to the Finance Committee, a report was made to the Commit-
tee and it was decided the City Manager should make a report to the
entire Council. The invitation for bids was first publicized on
May 19, 1959, for the collection and disposal of trash and garbage.
The bid notice set forth nine alternates. The City Clerk received
bids, as follows: ANDREW V. HOHN; NATIONAL CITY RUBBISH SERVICE;
JAN DIEGO RUBBISH AND DISPOSAL COMPANY; SAN DIEGO PAPER STOCK CO.;
ILLIAM PRATTY CO.; F. SAN MARTIN & SONS; WARREN W. JAYCOX; and
WARREN K. BOLDING. Mr. Bird stated in reviewing these bids, at-
tempting to find out what would be the best for the City of National
City, in taking garbage° first, it was found the bid of F. San Martin
& Sons is the low bidder on a three year basis, as follows: first
year, $798.73 per month; second year, 098.73 per month; third year,
$887.51 per month. It was the City Manager's recommendation the
bid of F. San Martin & Sons be accepted, and the City Attorney be
authorized to prepare the necessary contract. Moved by Fessman,
seconded by Hart, the City Manager's recommendation to accept the
bid of F. San Martin & Sons be approved. Carried, by the following

vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Hart, Hollingsworth, Hodge. Nays:
Allen. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated with reference to the trash bids
which were submitted there were a number of alternates. There
were five firm bids, of the eight bids; and three were unit bids.
The unit bid situation is very difficult to determine; in fact it
is practically impossible to determine the amount of those bids.
The firm bids were high bids, the highest are San Diego Rubbish and
Disposal Company, San Diego Paper Stock Co., Andrew V. Bohn and
National City Rubbish Service. It is the opinion of the City
Manager, in looking over all the bids, investigating all of those
who have submitted the bids, thinking only for the best service at
the most economical amount for the City of National City for the
next three years, he would recommend the bid of National City Rub-
bish Service for a period of three years, on Alternate No. 5, col-
lecting and disposing of rubbish only for a three year period, for
the first year at $7,925.00 per month; for the second year,
$8,225.00 per month, for the third year, $6,525.00 per month, be
accepted, and authorize the Attorney to prepare the contract.
Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hollingsworth. the City Manager's re-
commendation to accept the bid of National City Rubbish Service be
approved, and the contract be prepared. COUNCILMAN HART stated we
have a lower bid, and asked if we legally can accept a bid which
is higher. CITY ATTORNEY CURRAN stated under the circumstances
there is no question in his mind that you can legally do so.
ATTORNEY BEAR stated the bid of his client is actually lower than
the bid the Council is accepting, and that he thought it was a
serious enough matter to present all the facts to the Council.
The bid of his client is less for both the garbage and trash, it
is a packaged deal. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated the bid of Attorney's
client to his way of thinking is not a determinable bid. ATTORNEY
BEAR questioned the legality of accepting a bid other than the low-
est bid. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated in reading the alternates sub-
mitted by Warren K. Bolding we find he states specifically the City
will pay him so much per month for units and business establish-
ments now being serviced under the present contract, and after July
1, 1959, the City shall pay him $.70 monthly per unit for each ad-
ditional unit. Unit being defined as a single family dwelling,
and the City shall pay him for new business establishments and the
expansion of business establishments now in existence in accordance
with regulations now existing under the present contract. Mr. Bird
stated it is an impossibility to determine what Mr. Bolding's con-
tract will cost. ATTORNEY BEAR. stated he felt it would be possible
to figure the additional units there will be within the next three
6/16/59
461
years. COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGSWORTH stated she thought it should
be pointed out there were three unit bids which did not qualify,
but there were five firm bids made; there is no way of knowing by
unit bids how much we would have to operate under, what it would
cost the City. COUNCILMAN VESSMAN stated it is his understanding
the call for bids was for a fixed price, and there were three of
the bidders that put in bids at units prices, therefore, their
bids are not qualified. ATTORNEY BEAR said he thought it was
wrong for a bid to be thrown out on a technicality. Carried, by
the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Hollingsworth, Hodge.
Nays: Allen, Councilman Hart abstained from. voting.
