D. opposing the request of James Cheneweth to have the east thirty feet of "V" Avenue from 5th to 8th Street deeded back to him. CITY MANAGER BIRD recommended the matter be referred to the Planning Commission to ascertain if the street could be opened to get access into a desired area or some other feasible plan. That area,et the present time, is practically void of access. There is a considerable amount of high potent- ial property In the area, and it needs guidance in getting it active and developed. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Heck, that Mr. Cheneweth be notified it is impossible at this time to comply with his request to close this street and the matter has been referred to the Planning Commission to work out other ac- cess routes. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD reported on intersection alignment at Div- ision and Euclid. The Planning Commission recommended in favor, provided the property owners involved were in accord. On July 27, 1956, Mr. Bird had a meeting with the property owner involved, with the perspective tenant, the Assistant Engineer, Mr. Finney and an Engineer from Shall Oil Company. A realignment was worked out whereby, and it was agreeable with the property owner, that he would deed to the City of National City fourteen and a fraction feet so the alignment could be made between 4th and Division Streets on City owned property. A curve, which would be practically negligible, and on that basis the property owner and the Engineer from Shell Oil Company all being in accord. The property owner has agreed to grant the City the deed to the property which settles the intersection situation. CITY MANAGER BIRD recommended that until such time as we are in possession of the deed, the matter be tabled and held over. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Heck, that the City Manager's recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY CLERK ALSTON read communications from Mrs. Ralph E. White, 1440 East Fifth Stree; Helen Treshy, and Anthony and Lassie Camilla, 1430 East 5th Street opposing the Fifth Street 1911 Act. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated, following action which he had suggested as of last Council meeting, he sent letters to all the people on Fifth Street notifying them that the hearing on the Resolution of Intention would be held August 7, 1956 at 2:oo P.M. in the City Council Chambers as required by law. All protests must be in writing and must contain description of the property in which each signer, thereof, is interested and be delivered to the Clerk. No other protests or objections shall be considered. Written Protests, if any, must be deliver- ed or received by the City Clerk at this time. The hearing will 8/7 30 then be adjourned to a night meeting to be held at 8:00 P.M., August 14, 1956. However, should any property owner find it more convenient to appear August 7, 1956, he will be heard at that time, provided he has filed 0 written protest. MAYOR HODGE asked if anyone in the audience wished to protest the project on 5th Street. No protests were received. MAYOR HODGE asked if anyone who had written protests would like to be heard at this time. Several personswished to ask questions regarding the heaping. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Heck that the hearing be postponed for fifteen minutes and the Council proceed with other business, and those people in the audience wishing to ask questions, go to the City Engineers department, and the Council would continue the hearing in fifteen minutes. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY CLERK ALSTON read a communication from the San Diego Gas'' & Electric Company opposing closing portion of "C" Avenue be- tween 15th and 16th Streets. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Heck that the hearing on closing portion of "C" Avenue be- tween 15th and 16th Streets be held over until the necessary easements ape received. Carried, all the Council present vot- ing aye. COMMUNICATION FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD was heard regarding pur- chase of property on Olivewood Housing for the construction of a school building. ED INGALLS, 1332 "J" Avenue, stated the local School Board respectfully requests that their last letter to tbe Council be read into the record, and this was so done by City Clerk Alston. The letter requested the price and whether the City would sell the property in question. COUNCILVO MAN HOLLINGSiNJRTH stated that the last communication we had from the Navy did not give the City permission to sell, and she asked City Manager Bird if he felt the Navy would ap- pear before tr,e City uncil so as we could hear what they have to say in this pega7d. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he might point out to the Board that as of July 1956, as showy by Housing report, 408 of the Housing Units are occupied by Navy personnel, 416 are occupied by civilians of which forty some percent are in war defense industries. Mr. Bird stated he believed if the Navy was requested, they would send an aide of the Admiral's staff or Captain in Charge to present the Navy's side of the picture to the City Council if we so r-quested. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Fessman that we so request. JAMES RUSK, 1521 East 22nd Street stated that on March 15th the members of the Board and himself met with Admiral Hartman, and at that meeting Admiral Hartman requested that they put what they had told him in writing. That same afternoon his aide called and said that the Admiral still thought it was a matter between the City and the Navy as far as the legality of the thing. Therefore, the request should come from the City. On March 26th they wrote to the City asking that they send this letter to Admiral Hartman for his decision. Since that time they have received from Congressman Utt a letter, dated April 17th, en- closing a letter which they had received from the Assistant secretary of the Navy in Washington stating that a request from the City for relinquishment of the necessary portion of the Olivewood Housing would be given favorable consideration. Several other letters were read by Mr. Ingalls to and from the Navy regarding the purchase of the property in the Olivewood Housing Project, and it was further mentioned the request for release of the property would have to come from the City. The Council felt there should be an interview with the Navy as the City is under contract with them. If the Navy says "no" whether the Council said "yes" or "no" to these questions, it would have no bearing whatsoever. MR, INGALLS asked when thin 8/7 31 would be done. COUNCILWOMAN HOLLIN3SWORTH stated she would amend her motion on the floor and make a motion that the City Manager write a letter and ask the Navy when they could appear; and the Council will notify the School Board as to the time. WAYNE SMITH, 1124 East 6th Street, stated if a representative of the Navy appeared at the Council, he would only then be able to take the information back to the Commandant which will only delay any decision. A letter from the Council to the Navy Department would be forwarded to the proper offices for a de- cision. MR. ENGALLS stated that to show it is a matter of re- cord at this meeting, a bond issue was passed in May providing for about 6750,000.00 for the building of schools. He asked that the Council withdraw the motion and get down to business and say "yes" or "no" and to indicate whether the City wanted to sell or not. He stated if the answer was "no" they would have to condemn some very valuable property that is now on the City tax rolls. COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINaSWORTH stated the actions of the Council were not to stall and if the Navy indicated to the Council they were willing to release the property, she was sure the answer to the School Board would be "yes". FLORENCE UZUMECKI, 521 "I" Avenue was present and stated the School Board could find the answer to the questions before the minutes were edited. MRS. WEBER was present and stated she felt the issue was regarding the crouded class rooms and not the dollars and cents involved. COUNCILMAN FESSiviAN stated he would like to answer Mrs.Weber by saying he recognized there was a need for schools and if there were no other site available in Nation- al City for the School, he would be in favor of giving the School Board the land for it without any question of price. He further stated there were some questions regarding the site and there are some sites available, if they want a school in that area; but there were people against building a school there as well as people in favor of it. MRS. KODISH, 2107 "A" Avenue was present and stated the School Board had its answer already from the City Council inasmuch as they have adopted the coming year's budget without decrease in revenue from the City Housing. COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGSWORTH stated that income from Olivewood Housing was adjustable and did not have to re- main the same as in the budget. MAYOR HODGE stated that before the Council voted on the amendment, he wanted City lwanager Bird to take the floor. MAYOR HODGE stated at the time Olivewood Housing was purchased, the Navy put a cloud upon the title of the property which states that it cannot be sold or traded or liens put upon it without the consent of the Navy. We have not, at present, had consent from the Navy. We have requested con- sent in answer to the School Board's question, and so that the public will not think this entirely a one-sided affair, he would like to call upon the City Manager for a statement. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated at the time of reception of the letter from the School Board asking for part of disposition of the area in question, he was ordered by the City Council to write a letter to the Navy. He again pointed out what Mayor Hodge had said. The contract is explicit. It requires certain things to be performed as a part of the entire deal which was made by the Federal Government. In other words we have a contract, we the City of National City. The contract states that no release for sale can be consummated without a release of war industries. In this particular case because war industries falls within the control of the Eleventh Naval District, we refer to it as the controlling factor. Mr. Bird stated they had asked permission to sell the portion the School Board wished to purchase and the Navy denied it. A copy of that letter is in possession, in fact the day he sent the letter, he sent a copy of that trans- mittal to Mr. Rusk, Superintendent of Schools. A copy of the answer received from the Navy was immediately sent to Mr. Rusk, Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Bird stated he was saying this 8/7 32 in fairness to both sides of the question. The School Super- intendent and Mr. Bird have worked on this matter, nothing under cover in any way shape or form. It has been an aboveboard situation. Subsequently to the ►March 15th request which has been noted here, when the School Board asked the City Council to again send a letter to the Navy or War Defense Industry, the City Council referred it to the Finance Committee of the Council. Subsequently to that time, following that, the Finance Committee has held one or two meetings and, I believe, with members of the School Board for the purpose of ascertaining: First, is that the proper site; are there other sites available; it it an economic feasibility and various other ramifications that come into the picture. So, your Council has:not failed to take cognizance of the request of the School Board; but have attempted to meet with the School Board to work out a solution which would be amicable and proper to both parties. Mr. Bitd further stated he had talked to the Admiral, and the Admiral, at the present, doesn't know whether he wants that continued for his housing, for his Navy or whether he wants it for the school children of the Navy. As far as the dollars and cents which was raised in regard to one question and to the budget, Mr. Bird stated that in the School Board's application they wanted possession as of the start of the fiscal period in June, 1957; so therefore the dollars and cents do not affect the City's budget in any way. Mr. Bird stated an answer was necessary to this problem, but the City could not legally give this answer "yes" or "no", but he recommended that the Council im- mediately request the City Manager to write a communication to the Commandant requesting a hearing with him or an appearance at the next Council meeting; or a meeting to be held between two representatives of the Council, two representatives of the School Board, the Superintendent and himself, and see whether or not a decision can be framed up in a vital matter to the overall of the City of National City. MAYOR HODGE suggested that a motion would be in order for the City Council to signify a willingness to sell to the National School District, subject to the approval of the Commandant of the Eleventh Naval District. COUNCILW0iMAN HOLLINGSJORTH repeated her previous motion stat- ing she moved that the City Manager request the appearance of the Navy with the City Council. Then she amended it by asking the City Manager to make it immediate. The motion was seconded by Fessman. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Hodge that the City Manager's suggestion that two members of the School Board, Superintendent of Schools, the City Manager and two members of the City Coun- cil try to make an aapointment with the Commandant.
