COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGSWORTH inquired about 16th Street, and City Engineer Lill stated it is finished except for the seal coat and final inspection. Tidelands Avenue is being held up because of a gravel strike. CITY MANAGER BIRD reported relative to the communication from the School Board for the supplying of water. We have available a water service lateral l3" leading to the east Line of the school property and we have proposed to the School Board the following: That the school provide a mete: 1" preferable, same to be checked and tested by the California Water and Telephone Company and certified to up, and that sad meter be installed by the school within the school property and same parties being responsible for maintenance and care. Further, if the meter is deemed by the City incorrect or in need of repairs, upon notice to the school, said school will have same corrected or repaired immediately at their expense; that the City,(the Oiivewood Housing Dep..) will be responsible for the reading and billing of all r;harges, including water supplied monthly; further the City shall be held blameless and not responsible for water pressure, volume decreases or increases of volume or pressure due to use by tenants or otherwise and/or complete shutoff for reasons of unknown origin, repair, usage, and/or inability of the City to deliver water through said school meter. The rate of charge for water used shall be the same as that used by the Ca1i4 fornia Water and Telephone Company; also any orange in rate by said Company affecting said schedule shall become effective immediately and establish the rate for which the school shall pay. It is under- stood that any and all water delivered through said school meter is priorly metered and transmitted through City owned pipe lines and is, therefore, a charge against the City. It is understood that this is a service of accommodation only and strictly without profit to the City. MR. BIRD said this r ecommendation was transmitted to the School Board for their acceptance, but we have not received as yet a reply because of the fact the School Board has not acted upon it, however they were given a "go ahead" because of the time element. 8-28-56 53 COMMUNICATION FROM DIVISION OF HI3HWAYS was read stating they are negotiating the purchase of Lots 3 to 8, inclusive, Blepk 139 of National City from Ralph A. Cook, Inc-, Ltd., for freeway purposes. The City of National City has a tax deed to the property which en- cumbers Mr. Cook's title, and they would like to clear out National City's interest so that the State can acquire clear title from Mr. Cook. Mr. Cook purchased these lots, receiving a tax deed dated March 29, 1950 from the County Tax Collector. He paid all delinl quent County taxes, and since his acquisition has paid all City and County taxes. The City of National City, for some reason, declined to join with the County in the tax sale. This has resulted in the delinquent City taxes acquiring substantial proportions as penalties still continue to mount. In their negotiations Mr. Cook found their offer for the property to be acceptable, except that too large a portion of the offering price would have to be applied to the delinquent City taxes, plus penalties, if they insisted on them being paid off prior to his vesting title in the State. Mr. Cook felt the City should make him an adjustment, allowing for the penalties that have accrued since 1950. They want to see that the City receives the taxes that are due them, and if the City can see fit to make an adjustment to Ralph A. Cook, lnc., it will facili- tate their acquisition and it will result in a final settlement of the delinquent taxes. CITY MMNA;3ER BIRD stated it is his recom- mendation that it be referred to the City Attorney and to the City Clerk for computation of the back taxes and a report made so that we can further negotiate with the State and Ralph A. Cook, Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Hart, that it be referred to the City Attorney and City Clerk for a report. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY M MA3ER BIRD stated that Mr. Thomas Cosby is our representa- tive on the Metropolitan Mass Transit Study Committee and he should be notified of the meeting on September 7th. COMMUNICATION FROM SAN DIEJO 3AS 8 ELECTRIC COMPANY was read regard- ing recommendations for the lighting of "D" Avenue from 8th Street to 18th Street. They are recommending a system similar to that now installed on National Avenue and on 8th Street. The lighting sys- tem is designed to give a maintained average value of illumination in accordance with the minimum recommendations of the Illuminating Engineering Society. The total cost would be $2,947.20 per annum. CITY MANAGER BIRD recommended that this matter be referred to the Finance Committee. Moved by Heck, seconded by Hollingsworth, that the recommendation of the City manager be followed. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM ALICE V. MORSE, was read stating she is the owner of the property located at 2132 "N" Avenue. Her proerty is 70 feet on "N" Avenue and 300 feet deep to what should be "M" Ave. In 1949 the City dedicated a new street called Roselawn, thereby bottling up all the property on "M" tivenue so that the property owners cannot get in or out of the rear of their lots. Mrs. Morse states she is not the only property owner affected, and, if "M" Avenue was ipened, the lots would make ideal hcmesites for at least 10 or more dwellings. Some of the property owners took the matter up with Mr. Wagner, City Planner, and he seemed agreeable to making a cul-de-sac at the rear of their property and extending a street down to "L" Avenue on an extension of 21st Street. Mr. Morse deeded 30 feet to the City for "M" Avenue several years ago. They would appreciate anything that can be done to get "M" Avenue opened. CITY MANAGER 41RD recommended the matter be referred to the City Planner and the Planning Commission, and further that they would notify the sender of the letter their willingness to work out a so- lution, if possible, and to make a report to the City Council. 8-28-56 54 COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGSWORTH stated this matter was taka+o uF►.by tire Planning Commission about a week ago, when there was a request in for apartment houses in this area. If this cul-de-sac was put in, this man could not build apartment houses as it would take too much out of his lot. There is quite a piece of property in this area that one man is planning to subdivide and he will need "M" Avenue opened but he is not ready to subdivide it, and it would be far better if it were opened up at a time when the subdivision was go- ing to be started because we could then get improved streets. Mrs. Hollingsworth stated she learned that we have no record of the 30 feet that was deeded to the City and there should be a thorough plan and some of these people interviewed to see if they would change their minds in order that it can be opened. Moved by Hol: lingsworth, seconded by Hart, that it be referred to the Planning Commission, and that the City Manager see if he cannot change some of their minds about opening "M" Avenue, and a thorough search be made for the 30 feet deeded. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated there was referred to him, for a report, a request of the Chamber of Commerce regarding signs, and at this time he will make a partial report and ask permission to be allowed to sign an encroachment permit to the Division of the Highways, which is the first necessary step to take. Upon receiot of the signed application, a permit will be issued and the sign will be ordered. The City will be billed for the actual cost of the sign to be erected by the State, including labor, materials, and other expense, it is estimated this cost will be about $75.00. The State will assume ordinary maintenance of the sign but not its re- placement. CITY MANAGER BIRD stated he will present a cost report for the placing of the same type signs at the other entrances of the City which are not on State highways and therefore we do not need encroachment permits. Moved by Heck, seconded by Hart, that the City Manager be empowered to execute the encroachment permit. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM NATIONAL LUMBER COMPANY was read stat wish to make application to lease a parcel of ground on lands, known as Parcel 418. if successful in negotiating it is their intention to operate a retail lumber yard at cation. CITY MANAGER BIRD recommended this be referred Harbor and Finance Committees. Moved by Hollingsworth, Hart, that the City Manage:"s recommendation be allowed, all the Council present vo ing aye. ing they the tide - the lease, that lo- to the seconded by Carried, REPORT_FROM CITY ENGINEER LILL regarding proposed Danielson Annexa- tion was read, transmitting a proposed description of the annexation and a drawing covering same. It was the recommendation of the City Manager that it be referrer: to the City Attorney to take the neces- sary steps to annex the peeeerty. Moved by Heck, seconded by Hol: lingsworth, that it be referred to the City Attorney for the neces- sary legal steps. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY MANAGER BIRD referred to Ordinance 865, which was an ordinance wherein we were attempting to negotiate with Mr. Beihofer at 4th and "J" for the purpose of getting from him 30 feet for street pur- poses on "J" Avenue making a connecting link on ;:he east side be- tween 3rd Street south 135 feet, for a 60 foot street. Our nego- tiations were all firmed up wherein we were going to close 10 feet of the east portion of "J" Avenue from north of 4th Street 10 feet in width a distance of 135 feet, giving back to mr. Beihofer 10 feet in return for 30 feet by the same length. An Ordinance of Intention to Vacate and Close (Ord. 865) was passed and came up for hearing, and the minutes of 10/26/54 read as follows: "Hearing on 8-28-56 55 proposed vacation of a portion of "J" Avenue, was held at this time. City Clerk Alston reported she had received no protests. City Manager Bird asked a waiver on this closing. The closing was based on the condition that the property owner deed to the City a certain portion of "J" Avenue, and the property owner has changed his mind. Mr. Bird suggested the proceedings be laid over or de- nied. Moved by Heck, seconded by Jensen, this ordinance be tabled until the deed is received." We have done considerable work with Mr. and Mrs. Beihofer and Mr. Bird said he now has in his possession a grant deed in favor of the City for the described property in- cluding the Northerly 20 feet of the Westerly 90 feet which gives us the 20 feet on 3rd Street which was necessary, also would give us the 30 feet which is necessary on "J" Avenue, and would return, if we go through and reinstate the Ordinan4e, would give back to Mr. Beihofer the 10 feet. At the same time we will incorporate, at the instance of Mr. Beihofer, along with the 3rd Street 1911 pro- ceedings, for the construction of curbs, grading, and paving of "J" Avenue, 4th Street to 3rd Street. Mr. Beihofer wants assurance, so he has not signed the deed, but will sign it if we will start pro- ceedings reviving the ordinance, which was held up. In other words, the two should be synchronized, we will have Mr. Beihofer sign the deed on an action of the City Council, if the Council so wishes to indicate that they will accept said deed, and will return, by ordinance in legal procedure, the 10 feet as was the original intention in 1954. Moved by Heck, seconded by Hart, that the Ordi,++ nance be reactivated and adopted on the provision that the owner execute the deed as required; and that it be referred to the City Attorney. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. PIDS FOR COMPRESSOR were received as follows: SOUTHERN EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY COMPANY, $3,620.00; SHAW SALES & SERVICE, $3,627.99; KENTON EQUIPMENT COMPANY, $3,769.00. City Manager Eird recommended that the bid of Southern Equipment and Supply Company be accepted, and the City Clerk be authorized to return the bond to the two un- successful bidders and thark them for their bidding. Moved by Heck, seconded by Hart, that the Southern Equipment and Supply Company's bid be accepted, and a resolution be prepared. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Hart, Heck, Hollingsworth, Hodge. Nays: None. Absent: Fessman. CITY MANA.:3ER BIRD reviewed the communications, meetings, etc. be- tween the National School District, the Eleventh Naval District, and the City of National Cii:y in regard to the relinquishment of a certain portion of the Olivewood Housing Project for an elementary school site. On August 16th a letter was written to the Commandant of the Eleventh Naval District, Admiral C.C. Hartman, again asking for release of 60 units of the Olivewood Housing Project to be used for an elementary school. COMMUNICATION FROM ADMIRAL C.C. HARTMAN, COMMANDANT ELEVENTH NAVAL DISTRICT, was read, stating he received M-. Bird's letter of August 16th, which again requested favorable action in regard to granting permission to vacate and raze certain units of the Olivewood Housing Project so that the land could be used as a site for an elementary school. The Acting Commandant denied a similar request last December because of the acute need for housing. On March 15th he met with members of the National School District Board and listened carefully to their persuasive arguments f:•r the school site, and explained to this Board that other com- munities had asked for release of housing unit areas for specific purposes, but that such other requests did not have the forceful appeal that the Elementary School Board had. He, therefore, agreed to reconsider the matter and review current and prospective Navy housing requirements in an effort to release the Olivewood housing with a clear conscience. However, in view of current and prospec- tive Navy housing requirements, he cannot agree to the abandonment 8-28-56 56 of these sixty-two units at the Olivewood Housing Project at this time. The influx of new people in the Atlas Plant (Convair) and for other industrial concerns has worsened the housing situation for our hard pressed Navy families. There must be other land avail- able for school purposes in National City which, although not as desirable as the land in the Olivewood Housing Project, would be suitable for school use. It is realized that this affirmation of the Navy's negative December decision will not be happily received by the National School District. rived by Hollingsworth, seconded by Heck, that the City Manager send a copy of this letter to Mr. Rusk of the National School District, and also express that the City Council will be very happy to cooperate in any way possible if they have any other sites under consideration. Councilman Heck stated it is vital that the school does get some additional class- rooms, and the Council perhaps could help if the School Board did have another site available, or other locations for a school, ie if there was any drainage problem, we have funds available that the City would be glad to assist the School Board with, so that they could move as rapidly as possible to acquire more school rooms by using some of their funds for drainage purposes, if some of the property they might have in mind would require any drainage problem. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION in regard to the issuance of business licenses to applicants using their residence address, was presented. It was proposed that the Council adopt an interim ordi- nance to provide for this. COUNCILWOMAN HOLLINGSWORTH asked that it be laid over. REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION in regard to the Tidelands and Industrial Development Plan recommending adoption of the Master Plan by the Council, was presented. COUNCILWOMAN HOLL1N3SWORTH stated she and Councilman Heck attended a meeting this morning of all the cities and Mr. Wagner submitted his plan to the committee for study by the Harbor Committee and Mr. Heck informed them the Planning Commission had accepted this report but it had not been adopted by the Council as yet. Mr. Wagner is in agreement that the adoption of this plan be held over temporarily, because there could be some additions. COUNCILMAN HECK stated one action that the Har- bor Development Committee did not take this morning was they would avail themselves of the facilities of the Harbor Department and their staff to embrace the various plans submitted to them by the cities, and try to work it into an overall master plan for develop- ment of the Harbor, and John Bates, Port Director, who will be charged with the responsibility of making the preparation, stated that he possibly would need from 45 to 50 days to complete it, so, until we hear further from the Harbor Dept., we should hold this over for an indefinite period. COUNCILMAN HART excused. CITY PLANNER WAuNER stated in regard to the hearing proposed rezon- ing of Mr. Fritz's property, the Planning Commission last night adopted a resolution opposing that rezoning and requested that copies of the resolution be forwarded to the County Board of Super- visors, and it was their intent that the City Planner attend the hearing to further the protest if necessary. Moved by Hollings- worth, seconded by Heck, that the City Planner attend the hearing. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. Moved by Hollingsworth, seconded by Heck, that the meeting be closed. Carried, all the Council present voting ay Mee ing closed at 3:27 P.M. 1/1/L ) ATTEST:, CITY CLERK MAYOR, CITY OF TIONAI, CITY,'CALI'. 8-28-56
