HomeMy WebLinkAbout1954 01-05 CC MIN134 National City, California, January 5, 1954 Regular meeting of the City Council was called to order by Mayor Sarn at 7:30 P.M. o'clock. Councilmen present; Campbell, Carrigan, Moeser, Parchen, Sarn. Councilmen absent: None. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Campbell, that the reading of the minutes of the regular meeting of December 15, 1953, and the adjourned meetings of December 22, 1953, December 29, 1953, and December 30, 1953, be dispensed with. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS present: Alston, Campbell, Gautereaux, Warwick. HERBERT A. BARNES, 1129 "B" Avenue, was present in regard to insurance and referred to certain sections of a borchure regarding "Illegal Insurance Practices", and asked the City Attorney for his report. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated he will make a report at the next meeting in this regard. LARRY GRANFIELD, member of the County Beverage Company, was present protesting the business license fee of $50.00 a year for two machines which they have in National City. This fee includes up to ten machines and a truck. It is their feeling that it is very unjust. COUNCILMAN PARCHEN stated at the time we received a letter from this Company the Council agreed that a review of the license fee was in order, and asked the City Attorney if they review the license ordinance and find it justifiable to reduce the fee, can it be refunded this year. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated it could not be refunded. Probably any change that would be made should be effective as of January lst. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Moeser, that this be referred to the City Manager and City Attorney for their recommendation. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. TRAFFIC COMMITTEE report on blinking light at 30th and Highland, and the,proposed signal at 24th and 4th on Highland, was again presented. REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER GAUTEREAUX was read, stating regular four way signals for intersection lighting as recommended at 4th Street and 24th Street at Highland Avenue will cost approximately $3,500.00 to $3,600.00 per inter- section. Regarding blinker overhead lights at 2nd Street and 30th Street, the Manager recommends the following: 30th Street is in the County and is a major problem of the County Traffic Engineering Dept. and should be further studied in connection with them. Second Street, if in need of traffic control lights at all, should be considered only in terms of the standard conventional type of signaling which is generally used in the State or section thereof. A diagonal across the intersection using a two steel standard cable suspension overhead signal will cost the City approximately $1,000.00 to $1,200.00 and in the event of a needed change within a few years would in all probabilities be a total loss. Other type of slow warnings can be devised. It is recommended this matter be referred back to the Traffic Committee for further study. Moved by Parchen, seconded by Campbell, this be referred to the Traffic Safety Committee- for further study and recommendation. Carried, all Council- men present voting aye. MAYOR SARN called for the hearing on the closing of a portion of Wilson Avenue and a portion of 12th Street.

Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Campbell, Carrigan, Parchen, Sarn. Nays: Moeser. COUNCIL- MAN CARRIGAN stated he noticed in the report from the Planning Commission that there has been another site offered for a skating rink and suggested that the City Manager and City Attorney negotiate with Mr. Macy toward the end of perhaps furnishing the site in the southern portion of the Park area and negotiate on either a long term lease or a percentage basis. KEITH ATHERTON, Atty. for Mr. Macy, was present and stated that Mr. Macy is not interested in spending $100,000.00 on City property. REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION was read, regarding a communication received from John B. Vidach, 180 East Delaware Place, Chicago, Ill., suggesting an alternate location for the proposed skating rink at 16th Street and West Avenue. CITY ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated he thought any information of that nature could be passed on to Mr. Atherton and to Mr. Macy for their consideration. MR. ATHERTON stated they have this information. MAYOR SARN announced we would now have the hearing on the annexation of South West Mesa. No one was present objecting to the annexation and there were no protests filed. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the next step would be the adoption of a resolution calling the election. The election would be held in the area to be annexed and only the people living in that area have the right to vote. RESOLUTION NO. 6096 was read, calling a special election to be held in South West Mesa in the County of San Diego, on Tuesday, February 9, 1954, for the purpose of submitting to the electors residing therein the question whether the territory in said South West Mesa shall be annexed to, in- corporated in and made a part of the City of National City. ved ,,v Oa:ipb I.._ ; seco :de'd a}r zaz that th„ R>of at._' cn be adopted. CaT.ried, a.11 Colancilmen pWesent voting a,yg, ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated there has been no further development in regard to the adoption of an ordinance requiring medical examination of food handlers and it is his suggestion that it be held over until such time as word is received from the County. MAYOR SARN requested this be held over until the next meeting or until we hear from the County as to their intentions. COMMUNICATION FROM CITY MANAGER GAUTEREAUX was read, regarding a statement submitted by Byrl Phelps for work on the 1911 Improvement Act projects. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated he thought this should be referred to him as it is his interpretation in reading the contract that Mr. Phelps is to be paid by the firm 1/5 136 which is awarded the contract for the work and the only other provision which would alter that would be:in the event of an abandonment. However, none of these contracts have been awarded so the bills are premature. CITY ENGINEER WAP.WICK stated on three of the four contracts Mr. Phelps has finished his preliminary investigation, but the 18th Street project, which happens to be the larger of the four, has not been completed and it seems to be impossible for him to do it until he can get something straightened out with the State Highway Dept. There are slope rights, drainage easements, etc. which he must have before he can determine the actual cost. MAYOR SARN requested this be referred to the City Attorney for his recommendation. CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE of Encanto Electric Shop on the Library and Fire Station, was presented, and City Clerk Alston asked that it be approved by the City Attorney. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated it was approved and may be accepted. Moved by Campbell, seconded by Parchen, that the Certificate of Insurance be accepted. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Campbell, Carrigan, Moeser, Parchen, Sarn. Nays: None. PETITION FOR STREET LIGHTS on E. llth Street in the 2100 and 2200 Blocks, and Helen Circle, was presented. CITY MANAGER GAUTEREAUX stated the San Diego Gas & Electric Company made a survey of the requirements of this location and found that they would have to run a service 4+81 feet, however we do have an excess of 179 feet for which we would have to pay $62.65. In making a survey of conditions in this district found one light at 10th Street; 12th Street two blocks to the South drops into quite a low area, and a light there would be of no particular advantage to those homes along llth Street. It is the City Manager's recommendation that we not put in one light only at 12th Street and pay the $62..65, which would be held until such time as we were to continue, and by continuing to other lights this money would be refundable, but under the present conditions he v3ould recommend a light be also ordered for llth Street, which then would relieve the City paying the extra $62.65 down payment. Moved by Moeser, seconded by Parchen, that the two lights be installed in place of one on account of no cost for the installation of two lights. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. AGREEMENT WITH NATIONAL LUMBER COMPANY was presented. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated this agreement assumes all the obligations under their lease which the Council agreed could be assigned by Associated Construction Company, so it is a matter of merely filing as it has been taken care of. The question of insurance was raised and Attorney Campbell stated they must file a policy of insurance if one has not already been filed. MAYOR SARN ordered the agreement filed, and asked that CITY CLERK ALSTON check into the matter of insurance. AGREEMENT FOR OPERATION OF TELETYPE SERVICE was presented, and City Clerk Alston asked that this be approved by Attorney Campbell. The Attorney approved it as to form. RESOLUTION NO. 6097 was read, approving a certain agreement between the cities of San Diego, Chula Vista, Coronado, El Cajon, Escondido, La Mesa, Oceanside, Carlsbad and National City. Frank Sarn, Mayor, is authorized and directed to execute the same on behalf of the City. Moved by Parchen, seconded by Campbell, that the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. 1/5 137 COMMUNICATION FROM CLAIRE V. GARRARD of the National City Baton Mothers' Club, was read, stating that the N7 'sir al City Recreation Baton Corps have participated in many pa.._ -.es and have won many beautiful trophies. They ask that the City furnish the Baton Corps a case in which to display their trophies. MAYOR SARN requested this be referred to the City Manager for his recommendation. COMMUNICATION FROM FIRE CHIEF BAILEY was read, recommending that authorization be granted for the installation of one six inch fire hydrant on the new fire station drill ground. Moved by Parchen, seconded by Carrigan, that the request be granted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. REQUEST FOR REFUND by Mrs. Albert A. Duncan for dog license in the amount of $4.00, was read. Mrs. Duncan lives in the County. The request was approved by the City Treasurer. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated it is legally refundable. Moved by Campbell, seconded by Parchen, that the refund be allowed. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Campbell, Carrigan, Moeser, Parchen, Sarn. Nays: None. COMMUNICATION FROM NATIONAL CITY TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION was read, stating they are opposed to any person being appointed to the Planning Commission whose business might interfere with their impartial judgment being used. It does not seem reasonable or fair to the remaining Commissioners to put contractors, real estate brokers., or men in related businesses on the Planning Commission. They suggest that the Council ask for the resignations of any such planning commissioners. MAYOR SARN stated he thought the Planning Commission should have a member who is familiar with real estate business, and should have at lease one real estate man. CECIL F. ALLEN, 1704 "D" Avenue, was present and stated he is a real estate brokerand has been in National City over 20 years; and it is his opinion that one of the troubles that we have had in this City is that they have not had sufficient planning. He said he could not see why real estate people or insurance people; or any other persons should be declined the opportunity to serve their community if they do it to the best of their ability. DOROTHY F. JENSEN 41 E. 2nd Street, was present and stated the thought behind the letter from the Taxpayers Association is this: if it is not right for a Councilman to vote on anything whereby he stands to gain, it would not be anymore right for a Planning Commissioner to do the same thing, and you no doubt are familiar with the circumstances surrounding the skating rink. MAYOR SARN ordered the communication filed. COMMUNICATION FROM STATE EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM was read, stating there will be no increase in the rate of con- tributions to be paid by employees because of the amendments contemplated by the City. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated we have a resolution that was adopted and Mrs. Alston will certify it and send it to the Retirement System and it will be brought up again at the next meeting. MAYOR SARN requested City Clerk Alston refer this to the Retirement System. COMMUNICATION FROM SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY was read, regarding a request that they furnish the City with maps and a cost break -down for mercury vapor lighting on 12th Street, between National Avenue and "D" Avenue. Four lights at $7.80 per month, $31.20; twelve lights at $8.8o per month, $105.60, total $136.80. Removals: four intersection lights at $3.15 per month, $12.60, net increase in cost of lighting per month, 1/5 138 $124.20.

COMMUNICATION FROM JACK DEMBO was read, stating he is the owner of Lots 11 to 20 inclusive in Block 1, 10 Acre Lot 8, Quarter Section 154, 16th Street and "A" Avenue, and is desirous of improving this property. He petitioned title Council to close "A" Avenue between 15th and 16th Street but the Council concluded it should remain open, and, e wished to know if the City intends to open "A" Avenue. If so, what system of bridging or culvert is intended. He asks if he will be allowed to extend the existing culvert 40 feet east, at his own expense. He also asked if the City will assign some responsible representative, City Engineer or City Manager, or both, to survey the condition and take what steps may be necessary to rectify the existing condition. CITY ENGINEER WARWICK stated he has been down in this area and the existing culvert has some 80 square feet of opening, and that he cannot see any advantage in extending an exist- ing culvert that is wholly inadequate for the purpose for which it was built, and it would cost the City a great many dollars. MAYOR SARN requested this be referred to the City Engineer and City Manager for their written recommendation. COMMUNICATION FROM SHORELINE PLANNING ASSOCIATION was present- ed regarding Section 6816 of the Public Resources Code. They ask that the Council adopt a resolution and do what they can to retain the provisions of Section 6816, which provides that money from oil leases obtained by the State shall be used in the following manner: 30% to the General Fund and 70% divided between the Park and Beach Fund. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL suggested that either the City Manager or City Clerk write to the League and see if they have any expressions on this as to what the other cities are doing before taking any action. MAYOR SARN requested the City Clerk write the League of California Cities for their opinion. NOTICE OF REGULAR MEETING OF MUNICIPAL FINANCE OFFICERS ASS0�T7to be held at El Centro on Saturday, January 16, 954 C t'LERK ALSTON stated she would like permission to attend this meeting as the topic is in regard to new amendments to the election law.

Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM THE CIVIL SERVICE CQMMISSION was presented, referring to a proposed rule change. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the ordinance provides that before any rules can be changed under Civil Service it must be initiated either by the Commission or by the Council. The Civil Service Commission sets a hearing and give notice of that fact to the Council and they hold their hearing and their recommendation is transmitted to the Council and they either make the change or not, as they see fit. Consideration will be given a proposed rule change at the Civil Service Commission meeting on January 18, 1954 at 7:30 P.M. The proposed change is as follows: 10.3 LEAVES OF ABSENCE. Leaves of absence without pay may be granted by the department head for a period not to exceed twelve months, provided the leave is for advanced 1/5 139 training connected with the work of the employee or loan to some other agency of government. No employee may have more than two weeks of leave of absence without pay in any one calendar year on personal business in addition to any \a3atiorr:time or overtime allowable. Leaves of absence with pay may be granted only by the City Council. Leaves of absence must contain a time certain for termination of the leave and the reason for granting the leave. A copy of a written leave of absence must be filed with the City Council and with the Civil Service Commission. No post dated leaves may be granted. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the only change in this proposed rule is that leaves of absence may be granted fora period not to exceed twelve months, it is now six months. There is no action that the Council would take at this time. COMMUNICATION FROM TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE was read, recommend- ing that the Council appoint Harry Meyers to serve as a member of this committee, replacing Arvel Trueblood. COUNCILMAN PARCHEN asked if Mr. Meyers was a resident of National City. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the Traffic Safety Committee was set up by resolution and there is no requirement that the members must be residents of National City. Moved by Parchen, seconded by Campbell, that the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Committee be approved. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. RESOLUTION NO. 6098 was read, accepting the real property, as setforth in the Resolution, and dedicated for street purposes. The City Clerk is authorized and directed to receive on behalf of the City the said deed to the aforesaid property and to record same. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated this is the real property of Haffly Avenue which is an 80 foot street. He suggested that a condition be imposed on the acceptance of this, conditional upon the Santa Fe installing the street in accordance with the specifications submitted by the City Engineer and City Manager. Moved by Campbell, seconded by Parchen; that the Resolution be adopted: with the condition imposed as recommended by the City Attorney. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM THE SAN DIEGO & ARIZONA EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY was read, regarding their application to the Public Utilities Commission for an order authorizing the construct- ion of two industry spur tracks to serve Ducommun Metals & Supply Company at 16th Street, ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated this has been authorized so no further action is required. The communication was ordered filed. COMMUNICATION FROM GILBERT E. FRITZ was read, stating they wish to annex to the City of National City the following describedproperty now located in the City of San Diego: All of the Si NW4 of Lot 65 of Horton's Purchase of the Ex Mission Land. MAYOR SARN requested this be referred to the Planning Commission for their recommendation. COMMUNICATION FROM DOROTHY F. JENSEN was read, suggesting that it is the ideal time for the City of National City to start proceedings for the annextion South of all property up to the center of the river bottom, which is now a County strip. It is urged that the Planning Commission be asked to set a definite date and invite the Chula Vista Planning Commission to discuss the feasibility of such disposal of the County strip. MAYOR SARN stated sometime ago the Trailer Park and the Drive -In Theatre agreed that if we would permit them to connect to the sewer they would annex 1/5 140 to National City, but they do not seem to be making any attempt toward that end. We should ask them to either annex to National City or prohibit them using our sewer lines. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN stated that approximately a year ago that was one of the conditions by which the Council voted to give back to Chula Vista the portion of annexed territory to the South with the understanding that the City Managers and the Councils of the two communities would work together drawing a common boundary line through the valley. It might be well if the Council went on record and instruct our City Manager, City Attorney and City Engineer to contact the Manager, Engineer and Attorney in Chula Vista to see if that sort of an agreement could not be continued, and worked for the common good rather than jumping piece meal into this and pulling just a strip at a time. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, that the City Manager, City Attorney and City Engineer be instructed to contact the Manager, Attorney and Engineer in Chula Vista to see if an agreement could be continued and worked out. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL reported that the lease on the parking lot, which is known as the Post Office property, has been returned and they require a certificate from our insurance carried, CITY CLERK ALSTON stated she contacted our insurance carried and he stated that our policy covers this and he will prepare the certificate and send it out for the City's approval be- fore forwarding it to the Government. COMMUNICATION FROM DAYTON D. LAING was read, contesting the minutes of the City Planning Commission meeting on Monday, November 23, 1953, on the basis they are incomplete. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated this letter was not addressed to the Council but was filed with the City Clerk, and he assumes that it was presented to the Planning Commission. All the Council can do is to take note of the letter, but the Council does not have authority to order the Commission to change their minutes. MAYOR SARN requested this be referred to the Planning Commission for whatever action they wish to take. APPLICATION OF MAYFAIR MARKET for off sale general beverage license, was presented. Moved by Campbell: seconded by Carrigan, that the application be filed. Carried, all Council- men present voting aye. REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION was read. Mr. Alvin Barber was present regarding the granting of a deed for a sixty foot street dedication through his property for the extension of Paradise Drive from 12th St. to 13th St. Lengthy discussion was held regarding the drainage problem this dedication would involve. The City Engineer advised that although he would like to see this dedication accepted he would like to make it clear who would be responsible for any liability. He advised that it would necessitate the raising of 12th Street in order that it might drain to the new street. It was the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the City accept this dedication subject to the provision that the City Engineer be conferred with regarding drainage before any fill or removal of dirt is done. The City assumes no obligation as to the grading of the proposed extension of Paradise Drive and 12th Street. CITY ENGINEER WARWICK stated the Planning Commission gave Mr. Barber a blank deed to have it properly executed and as yet he has not submitted it and Mr. Barber told him there is a possibility he may wish to withdraw the offer due to the fact in putting the street 1/5 141 through he is not quite sure how much property he would have left West of Paradise Drive for his own development. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated he thought the City should probably withhold any action until we have the problem straightened out a little more and suggested that it be tabled until Mr. Warwick has another recommendation to offer. I. EVERETT, 2015 E. 12th Street, was present and stated raising of 12th Street would work a hardship on him. He owns the property at 12th and Paradise Drive and it must be taken care of with a large culvert, because if the property is raised it will back the water up onto llth Street. W. E. BOLTON, 2030 E. llth Street, was present and stated if 12th Street is raised it would re- quire at least a 24 inch culvert to carry the water, if not the water would back up into his yard. CITY MANAGER GAUTEREAUX stated that prior to any streets being accepted South of 12th Street it would be his advice that we hesitate in doing any- thing until we have established the right of way we are going to extend from Palm Avenue East projecting from 12th Street circling the valley which would be an intersection for any streets projecting on through from llth nr 12th as they may project South. MAYOR SARN requested this be referred back to the Planning Commission for further study. RESOLUTION NO. 6099 was read, distributing the Unapportioned Tax Fund in the sum of $72,405.91 as follows: General Fund, $46,506.87; Library Fund, $5,291.20; Park Fund, $5 291.20; Retirement Fund, $9,189.98; Sinking Fund #6, $1,670.90; Sinking Fund #8, $4,455.76; and distributing the Special Delinquent Tax Fund, in the sum of $3,109.86 as follows: General Fund, $1,997.49; Library Fund, $227.26; Park Fund, $227.26; Retirement Fund, $394.71; Sinking Fund #6, $71.76; Sinking Fund #8, $191.38.

The City of National City would not have any interest in it to participate. MAYOR SARN 1/5 142 rec;-; >ted the communication filed. A=CTION FOR CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 475 si;n Joh:...;on, Tyson and L.ynds, relative to Lots 1, 17, 1 a ..c 19, Shirley Manor Subdivision, was presented. Existing plot plan shows the following variances: Lot 1, 3.5 feet in side• yard setback on the Southerly side of the lot; Lot 17, 5 feet in front yard setback; Lot 18, 10 feet in front yard setback and Lot 19, 10 feet in front yard setback. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the request be granted. JAMES LISTER, 10 N. Second Ave., Chula Vista, was present and stated they are asking for a 3.5' variance for Lot 1, 5' for Lot 17 and 10' for Lots 18 and 19. RESOLUTION NO. 6102 was read, granting a special zone variance permit to Johnson, Tyson and Lynds, altering yard restrict- ions on the property known as Lots 1, 17, 18 and 19 of Shirley Manor Subd. and establishing minimum setbacks as follows: Lot 1, 6.5' side yard setback on the Southerly side, Lot 17, minimum 15' front yard setback, Lot 18, minimum 10' front yard setback, Lot 19, minimum 10' front yard setback. Moved by Campbell, seconded by Parchen, that the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye.

Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated he had prepared a supplemental agree- ment to our sewage contract with the City of San Diego which pertains to the Trailer Court at 999 Division Street. RESOLUTION NO. 6104 was read, approving a certain supplementary sewage agreement between the City of San Diego and the City of National City. Frank J. Sarn, Mayor, is hereby authorized and directed to execute same. Moved by Parchen, seconded by Carrigan, that the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all Council- men present voting aye. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL reported on the Boundary Commission meeting which was held today. They approved Chula Vista's plan, they approved San Diego's insofar as the area as submitted was a complete area, but they reported that there was a conflict in two instances, one, whether the City of San Diego only ran either to the pierhead or bulkhead line and therefore had no connecting link other than just an intersecting corner which would not be permissible, and secondly, the claim of National City that our Northern boundary runs to the Point Loma Light- house and that would prevent San Diego from coming down the Bay. The report is that San Diego is still proceeding. The City of National City's procedure would be an action in mandamus to set aside their annexation proceedings. There has been one point that has been raised, and that is whether or not the cities of Chula Vista; National City, Coronado and San Diego, also the County Oould get together and see if any- thing could be worked out insofar as the harbor development t8 concerned. It might be well if this is looked into before any other action is filed. Moved by Moeser, seconded by Carrigan, that the City of National City take such action to protect their rights now without further delay, that the City Attorney be authorized to prepare and file papers, any action necessary tQ setforth the Clal.m of National City. Carried, all Cc:.ncilmen p::es rit voting e, 1/5 143 Ar`ORNEY CAMPBELL stated he had an agreement which pertains tc' the drainage problem which we have at 12th and Highland, and any expenditure that we have establishing our drainage cr al on the East side of Highland Avenue will be borne by 7_, h & Highland, Inc. and Highland Shopping Center. :,_,COLUTION NO. 6105 was read, approving a certain agreement aetween the 12th & Highland, Inc., and Highland Shopping Center; and the City of National City. Frank J. Sarn, Mayor, is hereby authorized and directed to execute the same. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Campbell, that the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. REPORT FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION was read, regarding the tentative map of the proposed Scott Subdivision located in the Northern portion of the City, bounded on the North by Delta -Fisher Street and on the West by Highland Avenue. A COMMUNICATION FROM FIRE CHIEF BAILEY was read, advising that at this time it is rather hard to actually place the fire hydrants needed for fire protection in the subdivision as the map submitted to him has been revised since the one the Water Company has in their possession. However, this will be accomplished in the near future, and at that time hydrants will be located and installed as construction warrants. COMMENTS FROM CITY ENGINEER WARWICK are: There is no legal description of the area. Zoning of the area is not shown. The City sewer is shown, but there is no easement or right of way shown for the connection from the City system to the subdivision. The pavement does not meet the requirements of Ordinance 854. Laboratory tests will be necessary to determine the quality of the soil and the type of pavement required. It was the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the tentative map of Scott Subdivision be approved in substance with the provision that combination concrete curb and sidewalks be installed on both sides of Scott Street and on the South side of Fisher -Delta Street for the full length of the property. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the Council must either accept or reject the plans at this meeting.If you do not wish to act upon it at this time it will be necessary to have Mr. Scott's consent for the continuation of your action. MR. SCOTT was present and was willing to have this held over until all the required information is on the tentative map. Moved by Parchen, seconded by Carrigan, that this be continued for two weeks. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. COUNCILMAN PARCHEN excused. REPORT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION regarding the matter of supplementing the budget for the Commission for the remainder of the fiscal year, was presented.

It was the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the supplementary budget be submittedsftooy the Council. MAYOR SARN requested this be re- 8�`ILMRNtPERCHElf Mange,for further study and recommendation. prey CITY MANAGER GAUTEREAUX stated Building Inspector Bird presented him with applications to move five buildings from 637 and 641 Highland Avenue, and 813, 15 and 19 E. 7th Street. They are to be moved in the Thelen Addition, between Division Street and 1st Street and "D" Avenue. These five buildings moved to that location will comprise a court. After considerable discussion, it was moved by Campbell, seconded by Parchen, this be referred to the Planning Commission. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. 1/5 144 MAYOR SARN stated he was requested by the Library Board to ask that the City dedicate the old Library site t: -'-,e City Park. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated that any dedication that the Council would make he would suggest that they lave the Engineer prepare the legal description so we can trace the original grant and it might be helpful if we had a plat or map showing what you wish to dedicate for park purposes. So far as he knows no part of City property has been formally dedicated as a City Park, and the main discussion at one time was should any part or all of it be dedicated as a City Park. The reason for it is that it could not be sold without a notice of a hearing, and in most instances an election. CITY ENGINEER WARWICK asked that the Council put off the date for several months for the description, maps, etc. due to the amount of work now on hand. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, that it be referred to the City Manager, City Engineer, and City Attorney for clarification and recommendation. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN stated he was the recipient of some head- lines in today's "Extra" of the National City News, and asked if the Chairman of the Committee would give the names of the balance of the Committee. RODNEY SMITH, Chairman, was present and stated the names will appear in the paper on Friday. Moved by Parchen, seconded by Carrigan, that the meeting be closed. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. ATT T a2_(_,e,_ '- CITY CLERK CITY OF/ 1AT ONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA 1/5
