COUNCILMAN HECK stated the matter of the request for a dock at
823 W. 23rd Street which was tabled last week and Attorney Merideth
Campbell, representing Mr. Norman, owner of the property, is present
and would like to have the matter brought up at this time, Moved
by Heck, seconded by Hart, that the matter be put on the agenda
now. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. ATTORNEY CAMP-
BELL was present and stated he thought it would be permissible, if
the Council so desired, temporary revokable, to give a permit,
revokable at will, for use of that particular portion in conjunct-
ion with the railroad, and in the temporary permit they can make
it so that with or without notice, the ramp will have to be re-
moved. Moved by Hart that it be referred to the City Attorney to
work out something where it will be feasible to use that loading
dock, on a temporary basis, with a permit that could be revoked
at any time; on the west and east sides, COUNCILMAN HART amended
his motion by adding, that a permit be revoked on the south side
and curbs and sidewalks be repaired by the property owner. Motion
seconded by Fessman. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN stated his second to the
motion hinges entirely upon Attorney Curran's opinion in this mat-
ter. ATTORNEY CURRAN stated the purpose of the request of Attor-
ney Campbell was that the matter be referred to him for further
study, and he would approve it if it can be worked out. Council-
man Hart, with the approval of Councilman Fessman, included in
their motion that the matter be referred to the City Attorney for
a report back to the Council. Carried, by the following vote to -

on the Bush property, be revoked, and that the sidewalk area on
City property be cleared, also there is a loading dock on Harrison
Avenue south of 23rd Street which encroaches on City property and
thisshould have a "red tag" so it cannot be used until such time
as it can be cleared on a legal revokable permit. Carried, all
the Council present voting aye.

ATTORNEY CURRAN stated that the Application of the San Diego Tran-
sit Company for a new certificate of convenience of public nec-
essity was discussed with Mr. Winder, The information Mr. Winder
gave sometime ago was that as yet the application had not been
filed. It is the Attorney's understanding that it subsequently
hae been fled, and Mr. Winder has sent a copy of the letter in
which he notices the fact that the applicant is seeking to have
the petition granted without appearing, and he suggests that the
application be heard publicly in the usual manner. It is a quest-
ion of policy for the Council to determine whether or not it cares
to go on record, and so notify the Public Utilities Commission,
or whether it wishes to remain silent and let the Commission de-
cide on this issue for itself. Moved by Heck, seconded by Fess-
man, that the Attorney be directed to address a letter to the
Public Utilities Commission requesting a public hearing in the
matter. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.
CITY ATTORNEY CURRAN reported that L. M. Pepper has submitted
certificates of insurance, but he should be advised that the limits
he now has are insufficient and that his limits should be increased
with reference to general liability and property damage. Moved
by Hollingsworth, seconded by Hart, that the Attorney's recommend-
ation be forwarded to Mr. Pepper by the City Clerk. Carried, all
the Council present voting aye.
ATTORNEY CURRAN stated he received a letter from the San Francisco
office of the Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific in answer
to the communication addressed to the Board pursuant to the City
Council's direction; and it pertains to the case of Agnew vs City
of Culver City. The letter advised that the Underwriters of the
Pacific have discussed the matter with the National Board of Fire
Underwriters and they want to give the matter some more study,
and they also advised us that it is the first notice they have had
to the affect of this decision, and they are indebted to us for
calling this case to their attention.
ATTORNEY CURRAN reported we have an endorsement to the general
liability policy which sets forth the rate charges for our auto-
mobiles and trucks which are under the fleet provision. This en-
dorsement appears to be in order and recommended it be approved
and ordered attached to the original policy. Moved by Hart, sec-
onded by Hollingsworth, that the Attorney's recommendation be al-
lowed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.
ATTORNEY CURRAN reported that Nalco Distributors, Inc. have filed
a certificate of insurance issued by Industrial Indemnity Company
showing workmen's compensation insurance in the statutory amount,
and recommended it be approved and filed. Moved by Hollingsworth,
seconded by Hart, that the recommendation of the City Attorney be
followed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.

dressed a communication involving their employment, which has

which is an employment letter, be referred to the Finance Committee.
Moved by Heck, seconded by Fessman, that the Attorney's recommend-
ation be allowed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.

FRANK HOBS, owner of Scotty's Mobile Rides, was present and asked
if the matter of the license fees is to come before the Council
at this meeting. REPORT FROM CITY TREASURER HOLGATE was read,
which stated that Scotty's Mobile Rides was licensed since 1953 as
Mobile Amusement Vehicle under Section 12, Sub -section 48.1: "For
each and every person owning, operating, or controlling a mobile
amusement vehicle shall pay a license fee of $75.00 per annum.t"
CITY MANAGER BIRD said it is very evident that previous to this
time, and at any time such a thing of this nature has been under
the provision of the license act as set forth at the present time,
and the $75.00 was the just charge; and it is his opinion there
is not any discrimination in this particular matter or any other
matter in relation to amusement vehicles operating on the streets
in National City. Mr. Bird said he does not feel there should be
any deviation unless the Council wishes to instruct the Attorney
to amend the present existing license ordinance. COUNCILWOMAN
HOLLINGSWORTH stated she feels that as the City Treasurer and City
Manager have recommended it, there is no discrimination as far as
our ordinance is concerned, but from the amount of revenue per-
haps we have uncovered a little unfair feature of our ordinance,
and perhaps some study should be made of it. Moved by Hollings-
worth, seconded by Heck, that this section of the ordinance be re-
ferred to the Finance Committee and the City Treasurer's office.
Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Heck,
Hollingsworth. Nays: Hart, Hodge.
COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGSWORTH stated that the Planning Commission re-
ferred an amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance to the Council
recently, and there are a number of people present who are inter-
ested, Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Hart, that it be laid
over for the time being. Mrs. Hollingsworth stated herreason for
requesting this be laid over is because there are people who are
vitally interested, and it is understood there are some petitions
coming to the Council as a protest of certain features in the amend-
ments, and they should be given ample time to present these petit-
ions, and more time so that the Council can hear the people who
wish to discuss it. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN and COUNCILMAN HECK felt
that since a number of people were present today, they should be
heard in order to get their thinking on the matter, and then lay
it over. COUNCILMAN FESSMAN asked if the motion means there will
be no further discussion on the matter today. COUNCILWOMAN HOL-
LINGSWORTH stated she was just requesting that no action be taken
today. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER
BIRD presented three petitions asking the Council not to adopt
the amended Ordinance 840 referred to the Council by the Planning
3/19/57
250
Commission providing: "Section 1. A. No building permit shall
be issued for the construction or erection of any building or
structure, until a permit has been secured to install or cause
to be installed, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks as herein required.
Section 1. B. No certificate of occupancy and/or certificate of
compliance shall be given upon any new structure or building, of
which the cost price of erecting the same is in excessof $5,000,
commenced after the effective date of this Ordinance until com-
plete compliance shall be had with this Ordinance." CHARLES
KERCH, Chairman of the Planning Commission, was present and stated
he would like to discuss the ordinance amending the regulations
for the subdivision of land. Mr. Kerch said he first served on
the County Planning Congress on the Subdivision Committee looking
over the various subdivision ordinances of various cities in the
County of San Diego, and about two years ago the Planning Com-
mission sent a resolution to the County Planning Congress request-
ing that lot split ordinances be put through all of the various
cities in the County of San Diego and would like to see National
City have such an ordinance. Some people say that the subdivision
laws of the State of California adequately protect the people by
requiring subdivision of parcels of four or more lots. We did
make one correction in the lot split ordinance, we took parcels
left in the one-third acre and we allowed lot splitting on those
without coming before the Planning Commission. CECIL ALLEN, 1504
Highland Avenue, was present and stated that he did not believe
there is sufficient property in National City to adopt an ordinance
that would hurt the man who has just one small lot. CHARLES
KRAUSE was present and stated he did not think it was right to
make the builder out in the sidewalks, curbs and street improve-
ment, and asked why it was not possible to find a way to make it
mandatory that everything is improved. MR. KERCH stated the Or-
dinance amending Ordinance 840 providing for the installation of
sidewalks, curbs and gutters concurrent with the erection of new
buildings or structures and further providing for the removal of
abandoned dirveways concurrent with the remodeling and/or erect-
ion of buildings or structures, was referred to the Planning Com-
mission by the National City -Chula Vista Realty Board and they
felt it might be a substitute for the lot split ordinance. The
Planning Commission felt that both ordinances have a place in the
City of National City. B. E. KELLY, associated with Cecil F.
Alien, Realtor, was present and stated he did not think the ordin-
ance is fair to the individual.
REFERRAL OF THE REQUEST OF ATCHISON, TOPEKA & SANTA FE RAILWAY
COMPANY for additional time to construct a spur track on Harrison
Avenue near Nineteenth Street, was presented. ATTORNEY CURRAN
stated this communication from the Santa Fe Railway Company which
enclosed a copy of the application to the Public Utilities requires
no action and recommended it be filed. Moved by Hollingsworth,
seconded by Hart, that the request be filed. Carried, all the
Council present voting aye.
Councilman Hart excused.
PROPOSED ANNEXATION BY SAWN DIEGO was presented. Moved by Hollings-
worth, seconded by Heck, that the communication be filed. Car-
ried, all the Council present voting aye.
APPLICATION FOR ON SALE BEER BEVERAGE LICENSE by Albert A. &
Margaret M. Schei, 2305 Highland Avenue, was presented. REPORT
FROM POLICE DEPARTMENT stated that investigation fails to disclose
any grounds for protest. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Fess-
man, that the application be filed. Carried, all the Council pre-
sent voting aye.

another on the same lot. The Building Inspector recommends a
90 day time limit, performance bond in the amount of $125, found-
ation and repairs in accord with the Building Code and complete
compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances. MRS. FLOYD
NEWTON was present and stated they wish to move the garage to the
rear of the lot in order to provide a driveway for duplexes to be
built. Moved by Heck, seconded by Hart, that the application be
approved with the Building Department's recommendations for im-
provement. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman,
Hart, Heck, Hollingsworth, Hodge. Nays: None.
COMMUNICATION FROM ELLEN BAEDER, Librarian, was read stating the
Board of Trustees requests a conference with the Finance Committee

of the Finance Committee to set a meeting. Carried, all the Coun-
cil present voting aye.
COMMUNICATION FROM ELLEN BAEDER, Librarian, was read stating that
the Board of Trustees recommends the establishment of the classif-
ication of Senior Library Clerk. Moved by Heck, seconded by Hart,

Lincoln Acres Annex No, 2 which is owned by him. The south 300
feet of the lot is in a C-2 zone and the north 97 feet is in C-1
zone, and he would like to know if it is possible to have the en-
tire lot in a C-2 zone. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Hart,
that it be laid over until next week so the Council members may
have an opportunity to observe it. Carried, all the Council pre-
sent voting aye. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, that it also
be referred to the Planning Commission for a recommendation. Car-
ried, all the Council present voting aye.
CITY ENGINEER LILL reported that the maps which we recently had
made by the Aero Service Corp. are being quite useful to the Engin-
eering Department and others are finding them useful also. We
have allowed other public agencies and engineers to obtain prints
of the map at their own expense, however, we are getting requests
from various individuals and he would like the Council to either
approve or disapprove of letting anyone who wants copies of our
map getting the same at their expense. Moved by Heck, seconded
by Hart, that if anyone wishes to avail themselves of copies, at
their own expense, they should be permitted to do so. Carried, all
the Council present voting aye.
COMMUNICATION FROM J, DEKEMA, DISTRICT ENGINEER, DIVISION OF HIGH-
WAYS was read stating they are making a further study of the in-

ability of traffic signals. When this study is completed the re-
sults will be communicated to the City.

mitting three copies of the description of the proposed El Toyon
Park, All previous descriptions should be destroyed. CITY MANAGER
BIRD recommended these be turned over to the City Attorney with
instructions to prepare the necessary documents for the dedicat-
ion of El Toyon Park. Moved by Heck, seconded by Fessman, that
the City Manager's recommendation be followed. Carried, all the
Council present voting aye.
REPORT FROM THE FINANCE COMMITTEE meeting on March 12th was read,
which stated that the request of the Engineering Department for an
adjustment in salaries was discussed, and it was recommended that
the request be granted, and the Engineering personnel be taken off
of the step increase, same to become effective April 1, 1957. It
was further recommended that the City Attorney prepare the necess-
ary resolution. The question of the advisability of having a
representative available at a monent's notice, if it became evi-
dent that same was necessary, it was recommended that the City
Attorney and/or City Manager is authorized to represent the City at
Sacramento in the event of legislation effecting the City's inter-
est. Discussion of bids and handling of trash and rubbish dis-
posal was held, and it was recommended that the City Attorney be

Fessman, Hart, Heck, Hollingsworth, Hodge. Nays: None.
REPORT FROM CITY ENGINEER LILL on drainage conditions, vicinity
of Granger Avenue and 20th Street, was read. The Granger Avenue
Junior High School is included in the easterly portion of the drain-
age area bounded generally by Van Ness Avenue, 18th Street, Pros-
pect Street and 24th Street, It is also noted that any future de-
velopment in this drainage basin should conform to a drainage plan.
COUNCILMAN HART said he thought if we are going to spend money for
drainage, it would be better to use the money for streets, gutters,
etc. If it will take care of the drainage problem. COUNCILWOMAN
HOLLINGSWORTH asked if the school will go along with this drain-
age solution. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated the school is without money;
there seems to be very little hope of getting any money diverted
from the school funds for this particular drainage project. COUN-
CILMAN HECK stated it looks to him like this is a project of such
magnitude that there is a possibility that an assessment area could
be set up under an 1911 Act. The City, under our drainage program,
could assume a considerable amount of the cost where drainage is
required.
COMMUNICATION FROM FRED W. SICK, City Clerk, City of San Diego,
was read which enclosed copies of Resolution 1382L.8, relative to
the construction of streets and improvement of Harbison Avenue,
Kenton Avenue, Belmont Avenue, Drexel Avenue, Clairmont Avenue and
Norfolk Street. CITY MANAGER BIRD recommended they be notated as
a record and then referred to the City Attorney so he may proceed
with the 1911 Act procedure for the improvement of National Vista
No. 1. Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman, the City Manager's re-
commendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting
aye,
COWIMAJNICATION FROM R. B. DAMES, County Clerk, was read, which en-
closed a certified copy of a resolution adopted by the Board of
Supervisors on March 12, 1957 declaring a portion of Paradise Val-
ley Road and certain other streets lying within the limits of the
City of National City to be a County highway. Attention is called
3/19/57
253
to the paragraph on Page 4 of this resolution stating that the
portion of the right of way described on Page 3 and all portions
of said right of way hereafter annexed to and included within the
City of National City shall become a County highway anon the tak-
ing effect of an ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City
of National City containing its consent thereto. CITY MANAGER
BIRD stated this is the reverse curve lying at the extreme end
of 8th Street. The County wants to take possession with the hope
in mind of developing and straightening the curve which we have
been trying to get straightened for a number of years; also it
looks evident that we may be able to gain considerable in the
matter of drainage. Mr. Bird recommended it be referred to the
City Attorney and the City Engineer for study and report as to
disposition. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, that the City
Manager's recommendation be allowed. Carried, by the following
vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Hart, Heck, Hollingsworth, Hodge.
Nays: None.
COMMUNICATION FROM ARTHUR HENDERSHOT was read stating he is agree-
able to the C£ty's tentative offer for the one acre plot of land
contiguous to the south line of Las Palmas Park, and may proceed
as soon as desired to tentatively establish the area and proceed
with grading and flood control involving this area, pending final
agreement. This agreement is contingent upon the redivision of
the two acres owned by Mr, Hendershot into a northerly portion and
a southerly portion. The southerly portion will then be the only
one involving Mr. Kuykendall, the present tenant, at 1747 E. 24th
Street. This division of property is being negotiated at the
present time. A land description and plot plan was enclosed.
CITY MANAGER BIRD stated this is in relation to the acre of ground
lying at the south portion of the swimming pool site which we
deemed necessary to acquire, and, consequently, we made an offer
to Mr. Hendershot, and:he has accepted that offer contingent upon
a division of the land by the Title Company. Mr, Bird asked per-
mission that the City Engineer's office stake from this map the
four corners of this particular property in the next week or so.
Moved by Fessman, seconded by Hart, that the City Manager's re-
commendation be accepted. Carried, all the Council present voting
aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated in connection with the park, we
are nearing the completion of the site as far as the area or per-
imeter of the proposed swimming pool is concerned. The rest of
the park has approximately 50,000 yards of earth to be moved, of
which we have upon site 30,000 yards of disposal area and will
continue on that basis. We are still within the amount of monies
we set up in our estimate, however, the pool plans themselves,
have had a minor setback which will be overcome in the next week
in relation to a small matter to be resolved by the architects
and the Public Health Department. We hope to be able to bring the
completed plans and specifications to the Council at the next Coun-
cil meeting for their acceptance and adoption.
CITY MANAGER BIRD stated in the new Legislative bills which have
come before the Legislature, one bill in particular seems to be of
very great importance to municipalities, and that is California
Senate Bill 2521, wherein there has been introduced in the Leg-
islature a proposal to eliminate within the State Government the
Division of Housing and Immigration. Housing and Immigration is
that Division of the State Government which is charged at the pre-
sent time with what is known as the Health and Safety Code applic-
able to buildings, structures, houses, etc. This bill proposes
seething, which we felt, needed immediate attention; with that
in mind the Building Inspector was requested to pinpoint the matter
with the Building Inspectors' Association in the State California,
and at the last County meeting of the Building Inspectors it was
discussed. REPORT FROM BUILDING INSPECTOR BIGGS was read regard-
ing California State Senate Bill 2521, stating attached i; a copy
3/19/57 k
254
of the resolution and letter of transmittal as submitted by the
San Diego County Building Officials Association urging defeat of
Senate Bill 2521. If this Bill as proposed becomes a law, the
State Housing Division will be completely eliminated and all func-
tions of said Division will be transferred to State and local
County Health Departments. This action would put all building,
plumbing, electrical inspectors and all departmental functions
under the jurisdiction of sanitation and health officers, not
generally qualified by training to assume that authority. For
over thirty-four years the Division of Housing with its staff of
qualified experts have worked In harmony with the building offic-
ials to the mutual benefit to the State of California and of local
municipalities. The San Diego County Building Officials Assoc-
iation believes the purpose of this proposed bill is to reduce the
State budget by eliminating the one Housing Division Inspector
assigned to this area, however, the necessary increase in the San
Diego County Health Department personnel staff will more than off-
set this savings and the Cities of this County pay for this ser-
vice and accomplish nothing by the change. Moved by Hollingsworth,
seconded by Hart, that the Council go on record and ask the City
Manager to send in a protest to our Legislators. Carried, by the
following vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Hart, Heck, Hollingsworth,
Hodge. Nays: None.
REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION was read, which stated the
boundary lines of National City are so arranged as to establish
two small parcels of property at the northwest and southwest cor-
ners of Delta Street and South 43rd Street. These two parcels are
established as an R-1, single family residence district, under the
City's zoning ordinance, while the remaining portion of these lots
under the ordinance of the City of San Diego are established as
commercial property. The Planning Commission recommends that be-
cause of undue hardship to Mr. Carter, should he desire to develop
this property, that he be allowed to deannex, with the boundary
line continuing at the centerline of South 43rd Street as estab-
lished to the south. Moved by Hart, seconded by Fessman that the
Planning Commission's recommendation be approved. Carried, by the
following vote to -wit: Ayes: Fessman, Hart, Heck, Hollingsworth,
Hodge. Nays: None.
RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION on the proposed amendment
to the Subdivision Ordinance and Building Ordinance was read.
Moved by Heck, seconded by Hart, this matter be considered by the
Council at their meeting of April 2nd. Carried, all the Council

A. Gussa which are in accordance with his contract for the con-
struction of the addition to the shuffleboard building; Bond No.
M. 129235 issued by Indemnity Insurance Company of North America,
and recommended these bonds be approved and filed. Moved by Hart,
seconded by Fessman, that the Attorney's recommendation be follow-
ed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye.
ATTORNEY CURRAN stated at the last meeting there was referred to
him for consideration the bid of Kenneth H. Golden Company, Inc.
with reference to the 1911 Act on "I" Avenue; and it is his opinion
that the bid comes within the provisions of the 1911 Act, and in
accordance with the intent of the Council the following resolution
has been drafted.

Avenue)." Moved by Heck, seconded by Fessman, that the Resolution
