ORDINANCE NO. 935, "AN ORDINANCE OF INTENTION TO VACATE AND CLOSE A PORTION OF TWENTY THIRD STREET BETWEEN I AND J AVENUES IN THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA,`° waspresented for the final reading, and read in full, COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGSWORTH requested approval for the City Engineer to outline their recommendation why this street should be closed and also the possibilities that it never could be improved. CITY ENGINEER LILL stated this portion of 23rd Street lying between "In and "J9i Avenue is impractical to improve, although it has been petitioned to be improved, or to be closed; the people want one or the other. The trouble is that `P Avenue crosses 23rd Street at such a grade it would be impossible to build a street on any practical standards; also there is the drainage problem in the 10/7/58 122 valley. We propose, if agreeable with the people and the Council, to close 23rd Street between the alley west of "J". Avenue and "I" Avenue and leave a 20 foot driveway from 41, Avenue to the alley - and also the alley lying between 22nd and 24th Street and between 4 J - Avenue and ;' I " Avenue would be opened f r cm 24 th to 23rd and opened from ''I'' Avenue east to the alley. There will be quite a major improvement in the area, over $100,000.00 of improvement will be built this coming year, but the closing of 23rd Street is contin- gent upon the improvement. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Hart, the Ordinance be adopted. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Hart, Hollingsworth, Hodge. Nays: Allen, Fessman. AGENDA OF TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING for October 8th at 9:30 A.M., was presented. REPORT FROM THE PARK AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD was read, recom- mending acceptance of the El Toyon Park Plan as presented by Mrs. Stockman with the following suggestions: 1. Recreation Building renamed Community Building. 2. Remove raised planter box in center of patio joining the Recreation Building. 3. Provide janitor stor- age space at both ends of hall between the rest -rooms and main room of the Recreation Building. 4. Bicycle racks be placed at strategic points. 5. Exclude plans for the El Toyon Lake. 6. Recommend that priority be given to building of the Ball Park and Bowl. COUNCILMAN ALLEN asked Mrs. Stockman if these changes are anything that would be major or derogatory to the original plan. CITY PLANNER STOCKMAN stated they were not; the storage room is being taken care of in the Community Building area, and the lake was an alternative suggestion for the development of the northwest section. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated there was to be a report from the Advisory Board, in relation to the plans; also a report from the Park and Recreation Department, and the plan was to go to the Planning Department. We do not have the other two reports available at present. The Advisory Board were prim- arily interested in having priority of tie building of the hall park and bowl. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hollingsworth, the report be accepted and referred to the City Planner. Carried, all theCouncil present voting aye. REPORT FROM PARK AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD was read recommending that toilet facilities in Kimball Park be improved immediately. RE- PORT FROM SUPT. OF PARKS AND RECREATION GUATEREAUX was read stating a study has been made of the park requirements as to rest rooms and combination park facilities and changing shower room units at Kimball, Las Palmas and El Toyon. The locations have been tentatively estab- lished, pending approval of the City Manager and will be located upon the area map plot plan. Final floor plans, elevations conclusive to the area and construction plans are in the completion stage and should be ready for presentation within two or three weeks. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated the facilities are the best we have until such a time as we can build others. A proper rest room facility is going to cost from $6,500.00 to $10,000.00, it is a necessity and we are getting plans and specifications so we will be in a position to pre- sent them to the Council for action, or letting a contract, and find- 10/7/58 123 ing the money to do it with. COUNCILMAN ALLEN stated that due to the recommendation we have from the Recreation Advisory Board, if it would not be possible to concentrate on the two in Kimball Park first. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated what we would like to do is to come up with a stock plan which would be usable in all three parks, thereby sav- ing considerable money on plans, specifications, etc., and perhaps getting a better bid. Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, a letter be sent to the Advisory Board explaining what has been done and thank- ing them for their letter. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. ATTORNEY CURRAN reported Industrial Indemnity Company hasissued a Certificate of Insurance showing that Harry DeMenge and Virginia De - Menge have the statutory California compensation employer's liability, and recommended the Certificate be approved and filed. Moved by Hart, seconded by tllen, the City Attorney's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated with reference to the Application of the Grey- hound Corp. for authority to redescribe certain authorized routes in the San Diego -San Ysidro area, upon examination it was found to be a. technical matter. The purpose of the application is to change the route description and reflect the currently effective highway desig- nation, particularly with reference to National Avenue and Vista. Avenue which have now been designated as "Alternate U. S. Highway 101.° This application does not propose any change in the rates, time schedules, equipment, extensions, or change in route. It was the Attorney's recommendation the application be filed. Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, the Attorney's recommendation be followed, Carried, all the Council present voting aye. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated the Insurance Agents Association of National City has issued an endorsement to each of four policies which pro- vide fire insurance coverage for the City of National City property. It was recommended these endorsements be approved and ordered affixed to the original policies on file in the Clerk's office. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Allen, the Attorney's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated a deed from Robert F. and Dawn E. McConkey was approved for acceptance by the Planning Commission and the Commis- sion's recommendation was approved by the City Council. At the same time there was a deed received from James Milligan, and others, and it was pointed out to the Planning Commission regarding the James Milligan deed that certain previously adopted requirements of the Planning Commission and of the Council with reference to installat- ion of curbs and gutters had been removed. The record does not show that a similar understanding was had either by the Planning Com- mission or by the City Council with reference to the deed submitted by Mr. and Mrs. McConkey. The City Planner has advised the Attorney taat the matter was something which was discussed at the Planning Commission meetings, however, so the record will be clear before the deed is accepted by the City, it would be the Attorney's recommend- ation for the Council to take formal action eliminating the require- 10/7/58 124 ments of the curbs and gutters prior to the acceptance of the deed. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hart, the recommendation of the City Attorney be accepted. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. ATTORNEY CURRAN reported that Security Title Insurance Company's Policy No. 310212 has been examined and found to be in the regular form, and recommended it be approved and filed.

ATTORNEY CURRAN reported Ocean Accident and Guarantee Corporation, Ltd. has issued a Certificate of Insurance showing that A. R. Kin- gaard has comprehensive general and automobile coverage, and recom- mended the certificate be approved and filed. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, the Attorney's recommendation be approved. Car- ried, all the Council present voting aye. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated there was submitted to him the question wheth- er the proposed Record of Survey Map of V. A. Barber conflicts with National City Ordinance. Upon examination of the entire file and records in this matter, he has concluded that the proposed Record of Survey Map does conflict with the National City Ordinance, and that the owner, in order to have such a Record of Survey Map approved should satisfy all requirements of a subdivision including the in- stallation of all improvements. Moved by Allen, seconded by Fess- man, Mr. Barber be notified. Carried, all the Council present vot- ing aye. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated on October lst, he attended the first session of the hearing in Case No. 36148 before the Public Utilities Com- mission of State of California which was held in Losngeles. This hearing is an investigation on the Public Utilities Commission's own motion concerning the proper treatment for rate fixing purposes to be accorded to accelerated amortization and accelerated deprec- iation. The entire Commission sat in on the hearing; this procedure has been adopted in hearing arguments but it is not usual to have all five Commissioners sit in at one time while evidence is being taken in any hearing. The Attorney General of the State has participated very actively in the proceedings, and in behalf of the consumers generally of all utilities in the State. Cities, both large and small throughout the State have shown an unusual interest in the matter and the combined efforts of some of the smaller cities will be very helpful in making certain that a full record is produced for the Commission in this hearing. It indicates a rather general inter- est throughout the State in municipal corporations and, Mr. Curran said he is certain the utility rates are based on competent evidence and the consumers within boundaries of the City are protected in this type of proceedings. ATTORNEY CURRAN reported that yesterday a representative of Stone & Youngberg met with the Attorney for the South Bay Irrigation Dist- rict and the City Attorney. Nothing yet is ready in written form, however, the indications are, the firm of Stone & Youngberg would like 10/7/58 125 additional time in order to make the study they feel this project deserves. From the point of view of potential bond buyers, and the interest that would have to be paid by the public agencies, it is felt that certain matters should be more thoroughly defined so that revenue which will be available to service these bonds will be cer- tain. It is possible Stone & Youngberg will recommend that certain changes be made in the Joint Powers Agreement in order to affect this general purpose; there will be more information later. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated the next matter he wished to report on is the problem of the payment to the contractor on the swimming pool at the expiration of the thirty-five day period from the recording of the Notice of Cessation of Labor. After reviewing the matter, Mr. Curran stated he prepared a proposed supplementary agreement which was submitted to the contractor by the City Manager, the contractor has approved and signed it. ATTORNEY CURRAN read the 'Agreement Supplementary to Contract for Construction of National -City Munici- pal Swimming Pool'. It was the Attorney's recommendation the City, approve the contract, and a resolution authorizing the execution of the contracts be read. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, the recommendation of the City Attorney be approved. Carried, all the Council pre sent voting aye. RESOLUTION NO. 7325 was read. 'RESOLUTION APPROVING C(NITRACT " . Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. VIvCENT DE LUCIA, 1930 Granger Avenue, was present, and stated that approximately a month ago he objected to the drain tile that was to be placed in Granger Avenue, and one of the Council members said that people had been complaining about water coming down on Lanoitan Aven- ue. This drain tile is going to drain approximately one -tenth of the area where the water is going down onto Lanoitan. The drain is going to cost the City approximately $11,000.00. Mr. DeLucia said he cannot see how the City Engineer or anyone else can consider grading just a portion of the streets between l8th Street and 20th Street and not grade the rest of them. In doing that they are go- ing to demolish approximately eight or ten concrete or stone was people have built up to protect their property and for beautificat- ion of their property. These walls are on City property or on side- walk areas and they should have come down when the street went in. About a month ago, Mr. Christman went out and tried to enlist the people to sign up under the 1911 Act on this particular section of the street and there were only two people, 17% of the people, who acquiesced to a 1911 Act on that street. The street is adequate the way it is and is serving the people; but by cutting it all out, the people are going to have to rearrange their property, build new walls, new driveways by reason of the fact the City is going to go ahead and widen the street. The people there do not want a 1911 Act Improvement; the two people who signed the petition thought they were only going to get sidewalks. That is the situation between 18th and 20th Street. Mr. DeLucia said he wished at this time to ask the 10/7/58 126 Council if they will refrain the Engineer from tearing out all these people's walls, inasmuch as they do not want the 1911 Act, and leave the property the way it is and not go down and tear every- thing out because it happens to be on City property. If the walls are torn down the people are going to have to go under the 1911 Act, there is nothing else they can do, and a number of the people can- not afford it. COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGSWORTH stated none of the Conn- ell members are engineers and they have depended on our own Engin- eering staff, and members of the Council have telephone calls every - time we have had a rain regarding the drainage going down and harm- ing other people, so we would have to depend upon our Engineer; we ordered him to prepare the plans, we let the bid, etc,, and she would not be willing to restrain the Engineer from going ahead with the contract. MR. DE LUCIA said as far as the Engineer taking care of all this, that is understandable, he is not complaining about what has been done, but he would like the Council to refrain the bull- dozers and the rest of the equipment from tearing out the balance of the street and forcing the property owners to go in under the 1911 Act. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN asked how it happened these walls, etc. have been built on City property. MR. DE LUCIA said they have been there at least twenty years. Mr. DeLucia said with regard to the progress of the investigation as to the violations in the area of the neighborhood between 20th and 24th Streets and between Granger and Lanoitan Avenues, nothing asyet has been done. It is his under- standing the investigation has now been enlarged to include other areas, and according to Mr. Biggs, Building Inspector, the invest- igation report will not be ready until sometime in February. Mr. DeLucia said he would like to see something done about the excavat- ion he has been talking about several times.' MR. DE LUCIA presented a petition signed by property owners, request- ing action be taken to prohibit the issuance of building permits in R-2 Zones for the construction of dwellings on illegal building sites and/or on small sized plots of ground, and to prohibit the use of required front yards, side yards, and required spacing for build- ings, as parking areas for off street parking. It is requested that plans submitted to the Building Department be required to indicate a present" grade line and a nprop osedU grade line, and to note any excavation -or fill necessary to complete the project. It is further requested that multiple dwellings of two stories be prohibited in the R-2 zone unless the typography of the land will permit the apex of the structure to be approximately the same height as the surrounding buildings. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN said he is interested in the matter of the walls on City property, and inasmuch as the contract has been let for that drainage structure, the contractor, no doubt, in the performance of the contractwill possibly damage or tear down some of these walls, and asked Attorney Curran what action the City should take to protect itself against any claims for damages, etc. that might be incurred on the walls. It is possible that in striking a wall that is on City property, it might damage the wall that is on private property, and wondered if the property owners there should be notified they should tear down that portion of the wall 10/7/58 127 on City property, or should the City go out and break the wall to the City property line so the damage cannot be inflicted on that part of the wall which is on private property, or whether the prop- erty owner should possibly sign a waiver releasing the City of any damage. CITY ATTORNEY CURRAN stated he believed we have pending at the present time one situation in which a property owner has been advised to remove the portion of their property which encroaches up- on public property, and in his opinion that is the first step that should be taken in any situation of that kind. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, the City Attorney be authorized and instructed to serve formal notice on property owners of all structures in this area that is covered by the drainage contract, so the work can go ahead forthwith without any delay on that account. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COUNCILMAN ALLEN stated in Ivir. DeLucia's statement about the area between 18th and 20th Streets on Granger Avenue, it is his under- standing that area was excluded from the 1911 Act project in that general area. ALBERT HEFLIN, of National Plating was present and stated he be- lieved the Attorney for Jack Caldwell had sent in a request for a. sublease, and wished to know if this request has been received. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN said he thought the matter should be referred to the Harbor Committee as there, no doubt, are sane questions the Committee will wish to ask, COUNCILMAN ALLEN stated with reference to the petition presented by Mr. DeLucia, he thought it should be referred to the Planning Commission. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hart, the petition be re- ferred to the Planning Commission for recommendation. COUNCILMMAN FESSMAN stated the petition alleges these buildings are being built in violation of our ordinance, and he did not think it was the Planning Commission's particular scope to go into that too much; if they are in violation, as determined from a report by the Build- ing Inspector, then possibly it should be referred to the City at- torney for some other action; but if referred to the Planning Com- mission, it will take two or three months to get anything done on it that way. By referring it to the City Attorney, if they are in violation, we could get them stopped or corrected. COUNCILMAN ALLEN with the approval of Councilman Hart withdrew their motion. Mcued by Fessman, seconded by Hart, the matter of the petition as present- ed by Mr. DeLucia be referred to the Building Inspector and the City Attorney to determine if the allegations therein are true, and if so a report be made back to the Council. Carried, all the Coun- cil present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM STAFFORD W. PRl;NTE of Newberry & Prante, was read, stating he represents Jack V. Caldwell, who is interested in leasing a certain businessnow doing business as "The National Plat- ing Company'. This business is a corporation and controlled by Albert E. Heflin and are presently leasing certain premises at 1440 Tidelands Avenue. Under the terms of the present lease, the 10/7/58 128 corporation is not authorized to sub -lease the premises without sanction and approval evidenced by resolution or ordinance of the City of National City. It would be in everyones best interest, in- cluding the City of National City, to have his client, Jack V. Cald- well, lease the above mentioned premises from the abotiementioned corporation. CITY MANAGER BIRD recommended it be referred to the City Attorney and the Harbor Comlfiittee for theproper resolutions, if they so desire, Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, the City Manageros recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. MAYOR HODGE publicly recognized former Mayor Fred Thatcher, who was in the audience. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated in the bills which will be presented, there is included the payroll and on the one which was aid last Friday was a check for Ernest Keller, in the amount of $174.50, for work from September 16th to September 30th, inclusive. The payroll was signed by the department head, and today the Bookkeeping Dept. was notified by the secretary of the department that we should not have paid Mtr. Keller because he is no longer with the City, but in view of the fact we/rtf eas yet received written notification his work had terminated, payment was made last Friday. Mrs. Alston stated she checked with the Treasurerls office and the check has not come in as yet, and stop payment has been ordered at the bank. BILLS AUDITED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE presented: General Fund Traffic Safety Fund Park Fund Special Street Fund Drainage Fund Payroll Fund TOTAL $26,093.24 5,286.64 147.76 3,020.00 299.39 83,635.43 . .$118,482.46 Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Fessman, the bills be approved for payment, and warrants drawn for same, and the exception made by the City Clerk be included.

Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Fessman, the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COIvMUNICATION FROM SIDNEY CORNELL requesting the first Monday of October, November and December be designated as Science Day, In- dustry Day and Commerce Day. COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGSWORTH stated she would go along with this request if there was some evidence that 10/7/58 129 some group was really going to try to do some promotion along that line. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Fessman, the letter be filed and no action taken. MAYOR HODGE stated the Hall of Science and Industry Committee is a committee consisting mostly of doctors and scientists who are working very hard to get sufficient recognit- ion so they can influence the City of San Diego or the County of San Diego and interested parties, such as Convair, etc. interested in building a Hall of Science and Industry. They have been working on it for quite some time. Anything we can do to help that program the better off the entire world will be because we are entering into an cra of science and contemplated industry. COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGS- WORTH with consent of Councilman Fessman, rescinded the motion. Moved by Hart, seconded by Allen, this be referred to the Chamber of Commerce for a recommendation. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM ROBERT SMITH was read, making certain recommend- ations in behalf of the Recreation Department personnel. Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, the letter be filed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COUNCILMAN ALLEN stated we have discussed the Park and Recreation Department, the possibility of separating them and went on to the recommendation of the City Manager to keep them together at this particular time, and it was the CouncilPs recommendation that the jobs that were under Civil Service, due to the fact they were clas- sified as Park and Recreation be looked into. There is still one person who has a Park and Recreation classification and is not nec- essarily working for the Recreation Department, however, in the Civil Service Ordinance it definitely states that the Civil Service Commission be charged with policing and checking up on these various and sundry jobs and deleting those or changing those that are nec- essary from time to time, and Mr. Allen said he did not recall in quite some time of ever hearing of any one job classification being deleted or any such report coming from the Civil Service Commission to the Council. We have a reorganization of the Civil Service Com- mission coming up, and in due respect to all new members coming into that Commission, we should send a communication to the Civil Service Commission quoting this particular portion of the Ordinance, and bring to their attention some of the things that they have not been doing and see if we cannot get some of the things that are be- hind in that Commission straightened out. Moved by Allen, such communication be sent to the Civil Service Commission. COUNCILMAN ALLEN said in the Civil Service Ordinance it also states that when a job is not in use any further that the person can be 'dropped', however, that is not his intention; the intention is to bring these job descriptions that are incorrect and those that are obsolete and get them out of the files. It is a job charged to the Civil Service Commission which they have not been doing. COUNCI.IMAN FESSMAN stated inasmuch as there are going to be new members on the Civil Service Commission, he thought it would be better to give them a. chance to go ahead and perform their duties as charged by the 10/7/58 130 Ordinance, rather than giving them instructions as to what they should do; if after a period of time they do not perform their duties it might be in our place to mention their dereliction, but we should give them a chance to do the things they should. Motion died for lack of a second. APPLICATION TO MOVE A BUILDING by Harvey F. Harris was presented.

COUNCILMAN FESSMAN stated that inasmuch as we had a number of ap- plications for beverage licenses, it appears that the Council does not have any jurisdiction at all of locations, numbers, etc. of bar rooms and beer joints, that go into our community, and it might be well through the League of California Cities or through whoever might be elected to represent us in the State Legislature if we advise them we think that the cities and municipalities of Cali- fornia should have something to say as to how many bar rooms there should be, and be able to approve or disapprove them that are with- in their city limits. We should have some control over it, and should ask the Legislature for that control.

It is for the necessary improvement of driveways, elimin- ation of some driveways, all in conformity with the Ordinance; also a request there be granted the allowance of black top between the sidewalk and curb in specific locations. This location is on Roosevelt Avenue, at 7th Street and also 6th Street, in relation to the new commercial enterprise which is being placed into service there. The two things involved are specifically the permission to place the black top and the one over width driveway of 40 feet at the corner of 6th and Roosevelt. Moved by Hart, the request be granted. COUNCILIVMAN FESSMAN asked the reason for wanting black top in the sidewalk and curb areas rather than concrete. FRANK CHERRY was present and stated it was a matter of money, also less hazardous for people driving in and out. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he recommends that the request, as outlined, be granted and the black top be allowed to be placed in on a temporary basis only. Mr. Bird stated his reason for the recommendation, is that there is 10/7/58 133 no law to require Mr. Cherry and his organization to put in any- thing which leave it in weeds or grass f he wishes to plant it, and it be granted on a temporary basis with the assurance from the property owners that when they make a permanent improvement there, it be replaced and put in accordance to ordinance. Councilman Hart, said he would add to his motion that the black top be on a tempor- ary basis, with the provision that if it is unsatisfactory the Or- dinance will be complied with. Motion seconded by Allen. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Allen, Hart, Hodge. Nays: 2essman, Hollingsworth. REPGRT FROM CITY ENGINEER LILL was read relative to drainage at 17th ec UN.1. It appears the drainage situation on 17th Street could be corrected by the construction of 450 feet of 18 inch pipe and three drainage structures at an estimated cost of $7,000.00. On 17th Street to ;'M4 Avenue and 16th Street the drainage has been partially improved by the developer, this improvement was not con- structed to any city plans other than capacity, and it may cause difficulty at some future time. CITY MANAGER BIRD said this is the area abutting 16th Street, lying between g1111 Avenue and the foot of the hill, it runs from 'M'''; for which we have a half street which runs two hundred and some -odd feet south and ends in nothing; and a,NP of which we have a full width street which runs from 16th Street south to 30th Street. Our drainage problem is created at the inter- section of 18th and 4Na with some drop inlets with pipes running north to approximately 50 feet south of 17th Street; 17th Street at that point on 414 west is a 30 foot street on the north side of the center line only into a dead end. Maps were prepared regarding this and presented to the Council. COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGSWORTH asked if this is something that must be done immediately, or some- thing for the future. CITY MANAGER BIRD said all of our drainage problems are immediate, however, at the present time he does not know where the money will come from. We have attempted to work with this, and it is the study of that portion. Mr. Bird said he would recommend it be kept on file and as we can get engineering services available we carry the study further from this point north to ap- proximately 4L4 Avenue and 12th Street. Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, the City Manager's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COUNCILMAN AT.LRN asked if the 1911 act goes in on 16th Street would it not be advisable to keep this in mind at same time the Improvement goes in. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated this would immediately show up on the development of the plans of 16th Street. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he had a map drawn by the Park and Recreat- ion Department and submitted by Mr. Gautereaux, which would fit in with the report of the Recreation Advisory Board. It is not in ac- cord with that which was proposed by Planning and which was approved by the Recreation Advisory Board. It does two or three different things; it sets the ball park in a different location, it also outlines the drainage channel, it changes the parking area and the rest rooms; other than that it is in conformation in the main with that submitted by the Planning Department. It was Mr. Bird's recom- mendation this be referred to the City Planner, with the recommend - 10/7/58 134 ations of the Recreation Advisory Board, so studies can be made and probably come up with the proper answer. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, the City Manager's recommendation be followed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT FROM CITY ENGINEER T.TLII was read stating the improvements within the Graham & Bonamo Subdivision have been installed in ac- cordance with the plans and specifications and it is recommended they be accepted by the City. There is a refund of 4)306.79 due the subdivider. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated it is recommended a res- olution be prepared for the acceptance of this subdivision, and that authorization be granted for the refund of $306.79 from the Special Account known as Graham & Bonamo Subdivision. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, the recommendation of the City Manager be approved. Carried, all t'ae Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated there has been filed a claim against the City of National City by Edith Shelton, 1303 E. First Street, for damages in the amount of $225.00 caused by sewage water overflow into the basement of her home. It was recommended it be referred to the City Attorney. Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, the City Manager's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT FROM CITY ENGINEER LILL was read relative to q" Avenue Storm Drain. Transmitted for approval with the report were plans and specifications for the installation of a 60 inch storm drain across the new school site between Highland Avenue and 4" Avenue near 26th Street. York is to be done concurrent with school site grading by others. If the project is approved, it is suggested that bids be received at 3:00 P.M., November 3, 1958. The School District plans to receive bids for site grading on that date also. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated this is the drainage across the school site which Council has intimated in the past and has promised correction of the water in that area to the Elementary School District. We have a number of meetings with Mr. Rusk, his Engin- eers, our Engineers, and we have had to work out the difficulty of the letting of contracts so this thing could mesh and be a part of the job. It was the recommendation of the City Manager that the Council authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids on the basis as recommended. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Allen, the recommendation of the City Manager in the matter of the drainage project to the Elementary School District property be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he would like Council's permission and authorization for assignment, on a temporary basis, of the Civil- ian Defense rig now stationed at the Fire Station, to a group com- prised of fourteen members, three of our own employees and the rest from our Police Reserve, for the purpose of taking this crash rig to Gillespie Field where they have entered into a training program for the succeeding ten weeks starting today. This vehicle will be in charge of Harry Haws who has qualified in that rescue 10/7/58 135 endeavor. It has become necessary that we have our own equipment so our men being trained can be trained with it. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, permission be granted. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COUNCILMAN ALLEN stated he wished to invite anyone in the Council who would be interested in this, it will be Tuesday and Thursday nights for ten weeks. We will leave the Po- lice Station between 6:00 and 6:15 P.M. Our Police Reserve volun- teer s, and the Police Chiefs in El Cajon, Chula Vista and other cities detailed their personnel to gp. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated about ten moths ago the Chairman of the Harbor Committee, the City Engineer and himself met with the joint committee of the City of Chula Vista, and also a committee of the engineers of the Santa Fe Railway Company wherein we formulated the beginning of a plan which had been aanounced of the diking our port- ion of the unfilled tidelands in ©onnection and conjunction with the City of Chula Vista and the City of National City and Santa Fe. COMMUNICATION FROM MR. FULLIILER, Chief Administrative Official of Chula Vista, was read, stating enclosed is a oopy of their recom- mended agreement from the Santa Fe Land Improvement Company. Mr. Fullwiler said he is keeping two copies of this agreement, and should it be aoceptable to both National City and Chula Vista, it will be necessary to have the three copies available for submission, It is hoped the agreement is workable and acceptable for the plac- ing of dikes on our respective tidelands. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated at the time we went into this matter, the City of National City, in its report to the Council later through the medium of Mr. Fessman, Chairman of the Harbor Committee, agreed to go along wherein we pay on a basis of 1' . This contract purports to have the Santa Fe Company handle it for both cities as well as themselves. Mr. Bird recommended it be referred to the City Attorney to check the con- tract and report back, if possible, by next Council meeting on this particular matter as Chula Vista will hold their meeting Tuesday night the same day we have the afternoon meeting. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, the recommendation of the City Manager be approve ed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye, CITY MANAGER BIRD staged with reference to the request of the City Council to inquire into the possibility of a police pistol range, he has two reports, one from C. M. Hill of the Police Department, and one from Honer Smith, General Contractor. A report was read relative to the suggested location of bay front City property. This looation would be permanent as it would not hinder additional new residences or intoning industrial plants. When taking into consideration the value of this property, the point of permanence is important as it oosts for this sort of installation. The area. is also centrally located for the South Bay area making it access - able to population, also on a freeway which makes it attractive to out of town shooters for monthly scheduled pistol matches. The report goes into considerable detail with a layout set forth show- ing the area of 250 ft, by 200 ft., the minimum for shooting mat- ches; also calls for the installation of range, fence and office building necessary; and has a price tag on it of 0,199.50. The 10/7/58 136 proposed situation in the park, the old swimming pool, Mir. Bird said the cheapest bid we can get on that as set forth by the plans is in the neighborhood of 4)10,000.00. COUNCILMAN ALLEN said the plans are strictly for the old swimming pool. It is important we have a range, and this would be an opportunity to have a building that would have multiple usage. COUNCILMAN HART said he would like to see the pistol range in the park if it were not so much money, but some years ago the Council had thought of the possibility of having a range on the City's tidelands, but there apparently was some difficulty in getting a right of way to cross the railroad tracks. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN questioned the value of a range as short as the swimming pool, because it will not be possible to use service ammunition there, but will have to use twenty-two am- munition and that is not the size weapon the police officers carry, and they should use their regular service ammunition, and the only way they can use it is where they have room and that would be out- side. Mr. Fessman said he thought we should make a study and get a plan of a range on the tidelands because that, in his opinion, is the proper place to have it. Tye have no other place available, and an outside range is more practical than one inside a building. Moved by Allen, seconded by Hart, the City Manager bring in a re- port on a suggested location for a pistol range on the tidelands. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN stated the City could inquire of the County if they have any County owned property somewhere in the vicinity of Sweetwater Lake, in an area that is not populated, whereby the City of National Gity and possibly the Gity of San Diego, City of Chula Vista, Rohr Aircraft and the Sheriff's Office, could use it for a pistol xange, Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Allen, Fessman, Hart, Hollingsworth. Nays: Hodge. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hollingsworth, the City Manager inquire of the City of San Diego as to the availability of a range for immediate use, the cost, etc., and that he also inquire of the County the possibilit- ies of supplying some facilities, or at least make the land avail- able. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Hollingsworth, Hodge. Nays: Allen, Hart. RESIGNATION OP Marilyn Molina, Clerk in the Building Department, was read. Said resignation to become effective October 15, 1958. PETITION from residents in the area of Second and Highland Avenue was read, stating they petition for relief an abatement of the nuisance located at Peters Home and Garden Center, 221 Highland Avenue, to -wit: Offenses and rank odors caused by the dumping of manure and fertilizer on the premises. They ask that Peters Home and Garden Center be enjoined and restrained from keeping and main- taining said fertilizer on said premises. COMMUNICATION FROM ERNEST F. HODSON addressed to Mrs. Biddison, who is the instigator of the petition and owner of the immediate abutting property, was read stating that if something is not done about the condition, they would have to find another home. COMMUNICATION FROM MAUDE R. BIDDISON in regard to the above letter was read. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated that upon receipt of the petition he instituted an investigation, the only incomplete portion of that investigation 10/7/58 137 at the present time are the pictures which he requested of the Fire Department, but due to the Fire Prevention Week, Mr. Harrold has been unable to develop them, however, the City Manager said he had a report from Planning Dept. and one from the Health Dept. Moved by Allen, seconded by Fessman, the City Manager present the reports. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT FROM A. R. LOGAN, R.S. of Health Department, was read stating a survey was made of Peters Nursery at 2nd and Highland Avenue on October 2, 1958, and the results are as follows; Approximately 500 bags of processed steer manure was found on the rear parking lot, approx- imately 40 feet from the nearest dwelling; these bags were made of heavy paper and completely sealed, no cracks or broken bags were noted and no obnoxious odor was detected and no signs of fly breed- ing was found. No unsanitary condition was found and no health menance existed at this time. About a month ago a survey was made of this nursery, and no unsanitary condition was noted at that time. REPORT FROM THE PLAiNItiG DEPARTMENT was read, stating that accord- ing to the zoning map the first 125 feet east of the easterly line of Highland Avenue, south of 2nd Street is in a C-3-B General Bus- iness District, requiring a five foot setback from Highland Avenue; continuing on the east the next 165 feet are zoned R-4 Multiple Family Residence District. The Planning Department records do not indicate any variances in the usage of the property in this area other than that granted to Safeway Stores to construct a commer- cial development for a depth of 290 feet easterly from Highland Avenue, and to use the balance of such property for customers off street parking. Nurseries and greenhouses are a permissible use in the C 2 Limited Business District, and so would be permissible in the C-3 General Business District. However, it would not be per- missible to extend such usage in excess of 125 feet from Highland Avenue without first securing a variance or zone change. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated if there is a nuisance, as alleged, he does not know of any ordinance we have that would prevent such a nuis- ance. There is however a release which the individuals could avail themselves of, and that is by action as a private nuisance, or if it is of such a large spread as they so allege, as a public nuis- ance. Mr. Bird stated the pictures taken show how the place is kept up, and as to the odor, when he was there on two different occasions, he did not detect any odor unless you got up and smelled the sacks themselves. Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, it be held over until next week when the report is oomplete. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he had a letter, petition, and a report from the City Engineer, and he would present the petition first. It is for the revision of East llth Street. They request that the north ane half of llth Street from Palm to 4RP Avenue be filled and graded to the new level established recently by City engineers. New cement curb and gutter installed and driveway aprons paved to lot line. These improvements to be made at no expense to property owners on north side of East llth Street, from Palm to .RA Avenue. Also the north side of llth Street from Palm to "IP Avenue be paved to the same specifications as the south side of the street, and standard cement sidewalks installed. The cost of the paving and sidewalks to be assessed to the abutting property owners on the north side of llth Street between Palm and 'Ra Avenues. The petit- 10/7/58 138 ion was signed by all of the owners on the north side of the street. REPORT FROM CITY ENGINEER LILL was read stating the enclosed letter and petition requests the improvement of the north half of llth Street. The petition is from persons interested in 77% of the front- age of the property proposed to be assessed for the improvement. Based on area, the percentage petition is 75%. The petition re- quests the City install new curb and gutter and driveways to prop- erty line and including grading, and that paving and sidewalks be at the expense of the property owners. The grade of the street was raised during the improvement of the Graham & Bonamo Subdivis- ion, so that future street improvements would provide better ac- cess to the properties on the north. It is recommended the pro- ject be authorized as petitioned, with additional driveway costs to be charged to the property owners. Also, it is doubtful if side- walks can be installed and still maintain usable driveways. As the petitioned improvement is small, it is recommended it be in- cluded in the larger project pending on Paradise Drive, 10th, llth and 12th Streets. CITY MANAGE2 BIRD stated it is his recommendation this be included in the 10th, llth and 12th Street project, and for the temporary relief of these people on llth Street, the City Street Dept. fill up with an oil mix of a temporary nature allowing them access to their property, as it will be from eighteen months to two years before the loth, llth and 12th Street project will come anyways near eonsumnation. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, the City Manager's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he had a request from the City Engineer to place before the Council a matter in relation to Harding Avenue and 20th Street. The petitioned improvement of Harding Avenue was from 14th Street to 20th Street. Mr. Lill would like to know, and would like to have authorization to add Harding Avenue from 13th to 14th Street, and 20th Street Harding Avenue to Wilson Avenue, to the improvement. It would be adding two blocks, and they should be included in that project. Moved by Allen, seconded by Fessman, that authorization be granted. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated a meeting was called by the Finance Com- mittee Chairman on October 2nd for the specific purpose of review- ing those conditions which had been presented by the City Attorney and. City Manager to govern City property in the El Toyon park area which we wish to dispose of. Also the Finance Committee reviewed the lack of the sale of property at 16th and Hoover Avenue. It was the recommendation of the Committee that we readvertise for sale the commercial property at 16th and Hoover Avenue, and the minimum price of $25,000.00 remain but the terms be changed to read as follows: 4that ten percent upon close of the bid of the success- ful bidder, with a 90 day escrow provision'f; further that proper advertising of the property be made so we could get sufficient cov- erage and the City Manager's office cause to be made a map setting forth the location and the advantages of the site, its zone, util- ities, etc. The bid would be accompanied by ten percent fee upon 10/7/58 139 acceptance. Further it was recommended, if this is approved, the City Manager to notify the Realty Board that such a piece of prop- erty was available for sale. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Allen, the Finance Committee's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. In the matter of the El Toyon property, upon motion, carried, it was moved to recommend to the City Council that this piece of property be advertised for sale with a minimum bid of $240,000.00 cash down to the successful bid- der would be one-third, the balance on a subordination trust, and the restrictions as reviewed should be enumerated in the advertis- ing for sale, and the proper advertising be also given of this piece of property. The proposed conditions are as follows: That said lot shall be used for residential purposes only; no building shall be erected, constructed, altered or maintained on any of said lots other than a dwelling for a single family, including guests and household servants with customary suitable out buildings. The restrictions and conditions as set forth in the report of the Fin- ance Committee were enumerated. The floor square foot area, ex- clusive of porches, patios and garages, shall not be less than 1,050 square feet. The minimum size of the lots shall be 60 foot front, 6,500 square feet of area. It was the recommendation of the Finance Committee this property be placed on sale with the restrict- ions as outlined in their report. COUNCILMMAN ALLEN said the Commit- tee recommended the sonsummation of sale would be within three years and the rate of interest would be six percent on the balance of subordination. COUNCILiVOWiAN HOLLINGS6O TH stated she thought the building area of 1050 square feet was too small, but she was over- ruled. COUNCILMPN FESSMM said he was inclined to agree with Mrs. Hollingsworth on the size of the house, that 1050 square feet is too small, and he thought it should be about 1200 square feet min- imum. COUNCILMAN ALLEN said that out of every ten buyers of a home today, you have one that can afford over $15,000.00, and that person is going to be very "choosey.
