Councilmen present: Carrigan, McClure, Parchen, Sarn. Councilmen absent: Hart. Moved by Carrigan seconded by Parchen, that the reading of the minutes of the regular meeting of June 16, and the ad- journed meeting of June 30, 1953, be dispensed with. Carried all Councilmen present voting aye. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS present: Alston, Campbell, Bailey, Gautereaux. VICE MAYOR SARN stated he wished to make a statement in regard to the stand the City Council is taking concerning the water question. The Council has been accused by people who are ad- mittedly financed by the Water Company of two grave mistakes, that is if their accusations are correct. However, these accusations are completely false. We have been accused of employing an unqualified firm to make a feasibility study. The firm, Utilities Service Company, was thoroughly and completely investigated before they were employed. We have been accused of meeting secretly. Not one secret meeting was ever held. The Council authorized the contract at a regular meeting and the election date was set at a regular meeting of the Council. At all discussions and every action taken by the Council not one Councilman raised a voice of protest or objected to the procedure, and the City Attorney and City Manager were present at all discussions. COUNCILMAN PARCHEN stated he would like to go on record as saying that he believes in the future of National City, and two of the most important things to make National City a better town are: 1. the tidelands. 2. our water; and that he did not have the confidence in our present Water Company that these things will come about. He stated he would like to reaffirm his stand of being in favor of giving the people of National City a chance to vote on this issue. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN stated he was thoroughly sold on it at the beginning and he is still completely sold on it, and that he intends to devote all his energies and abilities toward that end from now on. COUNCILMAN McCLURE stated he was dubious of this method of obtaining better water for National City, and that he does not believe that it is the most feasible way. It should be done in cooperation with our neighboring city to the south and the South Bay Irrigation District. After analyzing the report, Mr. McClure said he has found enough omissions, things that were not taken into consideration which he thought should be. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated that the bills for the Maytime Band Review are included in the warrant register. We have a bill which was submitted by the Chamber of Commerce the 1st of June, and at that time Mr.Ramos requested that it be held up until a later date. Mr. Brinkman asked that it be submitted at this time as the Executive Committee would like to have it approved by the Council. Mrs. Alston asked that the Attorney offer his opinion at this time. CITY ATTORNEY CAMPBBLL stated in his opinion there is not sufficient supporting data to pay it, most of them are questionable. It is the Attorney's re- commendation this be held up until the next meeting. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, that the recommendation of the City Attorney be followed. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. 7/7 2 THE MATTER OF THE SOFT BALL DIAMOND on area between 4th & Division and West of Drexel was presented. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated we were awaiting a reply from the School Board to see if the City could use the Lincoln Acres School grounds and a room in the school. PARK & RECREATION SUPT. GAUTEREAUX stated we received a letter from the School Board stating we could use the premises and the building, as requested, and it utilized by the City. VICE MAYOR SARN ordered the request for the soft ball diamond filed as the use of the school grounds mentioned will suffice. INSURANCE POLICY OF STATE COMPENSATION was presented.. CITY CLERK ALSTON requested it be approved by the City Attorney. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated it is approved as to form. Moved by McClure; seconded by Carrigan, that the policy be accepted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE OF BOYS' CLUB was presented, and Attorney Campbell approved it as to form. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by McClure, that the certificate of insurance be accepted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM CITY MANAGER RHODES relative to collection of rubbish in the Homoja Housing was read. It is the Manager's recommendation that the communication be filed as the matter has been satisfactorily settled. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated this is actually an agreement and the Council should probably authorize the Manager to sign it. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated sometime ago an agreement was signed for the Housing Author- ity permitting them to reduce the number of units from 666 to 590, and it is his understanding that there is another letter from Mr. Rhodes showing there are only 292 units now, and perhaps he meant that this 590 has been superseded by the 292. VICE MAYOR SARN requested this be referred back to City Manager Rhodes for further study. REQUEST OF PAUL D. McOSKER for refund on building permit was presented. COMMUNICATION FROM BUILDING INSPECTOR BIRD was read stating that the permit was issued on February 18, 1953, and in accordance with the Uniform Building Code became invalidated sixty days after its issuance, therefore he cannot recommend the refund of $3.00 as requested. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated he knows of no legal way this could be paid, and recommended the request be denied. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, the request be denied. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION addressed to the City Manager was read, submitting the following names for consideration by the Council for appointment to the Civil Service Commission: George Thompson, James Belknap, John Lensing, E. 0. Rogers. COUNCILMAN PARCHEN inquired if all of these men reside in National City. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated that Mr. Rogers lives in Bonita. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN suggetedtitpespuRgines be held over until Mayor Hart returns and/hold a -con erence to discuss the situation. VICE MAYOR SARN requested this laid over until the return of Mayor Hart for a conference and discussion. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated there was a claim filed by Donna J. Reithmayer against the City regarding the sewage that flood- ed her place of business, and it was referred to the City's insurance agent and they are taking care of the legal pro- cedure. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the claim was filed 7/7 3 previously but they filed an action and Mr. Sarn was served with the complaint and the complaint was referred to the Insurance Company. VICE MAYOR SARN ordered the communication filed. COMMUNICATION FROM ETS-HOKIN & GALVAN regarding the traffic signal installation at 24th and National Avenue, was read. According to the last information they received from the manufacturer, the street lighting standards will not be shipped from the Union Metal Company, Canton, Ohio, until September 3, 1953. They are endeavoring to get this ship- ment rescheduled for an earlier delivery, but to date have been unable to do so. The actual installation time for this contract is approximately two weeks and it is not feasible to do a portion of the work until the standards are in transit or received. VICE MAYOR SARN ordered the communication filed until we hear further from Ets-Hokin & Gaivan regarding the shipping date. COMMUNICATION FROM CITY MANAGER RHODES was read to which was attached a report for the Building Department for the month of June, also a report for the fiscal year July 1, 1952 to June 30, 1953. VICE MAYOR SARN ordered the reports and communication filed. REQUEST OF C. D. MATTHEWS for a refund of $20.00 on a business license was read. The request was approved by the City Treasurer. Moved by McClure, seconded by Carrigan, that the refund be made. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Carrigan, McClure, Parchen,Sarn. Nays: None. COMMUNICATION FROM CITY MANAGER RHODES was read stating that he appointed Don A. Newberry as Acting City Manager during his absence. He will be assisted by Mrs. Evelyn Jenkins who is familiar with the details of the Manager's Office. COUNCIL- MAN CARRIGAN asked if the City Manager has the right to appoint an Acting City Manager. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated he knows of no provisions for it. A11 of the officers of the City are either appointed by the Council or according to the Civil Service regulations. There is no Assistant City Manager set up under the City Manager Ordinance. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said he saw no reason for appointing an Acting City Manager, that the Engineer's Office has a lot of work pending and the Department Heads should be able to run their departments during the City Manager's absence. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the Council has the right to appoint a Purchasing Agent, if they so desire, but that would only be for designation purpose in signing purchase orders. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN stated that since the City Clerk is in charge of the books and the budget she should be the proper one designated to sign purchase orders in the Manager's absence. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, that the request that Mr. Newberry be appointed as Acting City Manager be denied. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, that the City Clerk be appointed to act as Purchasing Agent in the Manager's absence. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM CITY MANAGER RHODES was read recommending a salary raise for the City Clerk and City Treasurer. It is the Manager's recommendation that they receive an increase of $25.00 per month. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said he wished to go on record in opposition to this on the same basis that he did at previous times. Moved by Parchen, seconded by McClure, that the recommendation of the City Manager be followed. 7/7 4 Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: McClure, Parchen, Sarn. Nays: Carrigan.

Nays: Carrigan. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN stated there is one item in the bills from Guy & Guy for $172.50 which he questions as it is his understanding that all the insurance was to be handled by the Insurance Agents Association. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated this was for the bonds for the City Treasurer and City Clerk, and if the Council wished this to be handled by the Association she would see that it is taken care of. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, this matter be handled through the Insurance Agents Association. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM GOV. WARREN addressed to City Clerk Alston was read, thanking the City Clerk for her letter on behalf of the City Council in support of Senate Bill 1461. On June 17th the Governor signed this bill and is glad to .know that his action meets with the Council's approval. COMMUNICATION FROM DELAVAN J. DICKSON was read stating that the Council has been notified by the Executive Secretary of the San Diego County Water Authority that the term of the National City member of the Board of Directors will expire on July 15, 1953. It has been a real privilege and pleasure to have been able to serve the citizens of National City as their representative on the Water Authority Board of Direct- ors for nearly six years. He further stated that since his duties and responsibilities as County Treasurer have increased to the extent that it requires his full attention, he respect- fully requests that the City Council relieve him of further representing National City on the Water Authority Board after the conclusion of his present term. Moved by Carrigan, second- ed by Parchen, that the resignation be accepted, and that the City Clerk be authorized to direct a communication to Mr. Dickson thanking him for his services in the past number of years. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM PARK & RECREATION SUPT. GAUTEREAUX was read recommending that salary Resolution No. 5968 be amended as follows: The class of Pool Clerk and Cashier be changed to read: Chief Pool Clerk and Cashier at rate $1.10 per hr. The addition of class of Pool Office Clerk at rate $1.00 per hr. VICE MAYOR SARN requested this referred to the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution. REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER RHODES was read stating that Mr. Hynum of the Chula Vista Sanitary Service states that his rice for collecting rubbish in the Homoja Housing will be $1.00 per unit per month. There are now only 292 units occupied so it will cost $292.00 for collection and the City 7/7 5 will receive $292.00 a month from the Navy. Mr. Hynum claims that he took the contract last year at less than cost and that he was promised by the Mayor that he would be given consideration in the next year. If the City desires to close the dump on the tidelands his price for the extra haul to the County dump will be $990.00 a month. Mr. Rhodes stated he feels this is a reasonable price. Mr. Rhodes said he ob- jected to the closing of the dump at this time, but on further investigation finds that it will be impossible to keep it clean and it will be necessary for us not only to close it but to fence it off so that no one can get to it for sometime to come. He is now firmly convinced that it is necessary to close the dump and he has provided for the extra cost in the 1953-54 budget. It is recommended that the City Attorney be authorized to draw up a contract with the Chula Vista Sanitary Service covering these points. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN stated that inasmuch as we have had considerable discussions about the dump site it would be his suggestion that this be held until Mr. Rhodes'return, pending a con- ference with him on why it is necessary to close it now, and why it is going to be necessary to fence it, and why it is going to be necessary to spend another $1,000.00 a month to haul the rubbish out on 18th Street. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, the letter be held over pend- ing Mr. Rhodes' return, and that the dump be kept operating "as is". Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. COMMUNICATION FROM CITY MANAGER RHODES was read stating that at the adjourned meeting he brought attention to the fact that he thought he should attend the Highway Commission meet- ing in Sacramento July 22, 23, and 24. It was suggested by Mr. Charles T. Leigh, Highway Commissioner, that he appear before them to request assistance on the construction of our proposed highway through National City located East of Palm Avenue. Mr. Rhodes states he will be returning from his vacation and feels that it would be a mistake to come back to National City and have to drive back to Sacramento. While in Sacramento he also wishes to check all of the claims the City has put in for State aid for securing sites and the preparation of plans. Moved by Parchen, seconded by McClure, that City Manager Rhodes be granted the additional three days to attend the meeting in Sacramento. Carried; all Councilmen present voting aye. REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER RHODES was read regarding the pet- ition for the improvement of "T" Avenue between 7th and 8th and on 7th Street from "T" Avenue 300 feet East and "T" Avenue 125 feet North on 7th. The petition contains 76.66% of the frontage and it is Mr. Rhodes' recommendation that it be granted. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated a hearing is set for the next meeting on our first 1911 Act, and he would re- commend that the Council hold all the petitions until we have the hearing and see what happens. Mr. Campbell stated some time might be saved if a particular type of petition was used, which would eliminate the Special Investigation Act proceedings. ED. EUBANKS, 316 E. 4th Street; was present and questioned the procedure which would save time, if this cannot be done within six months time they might as well forget about it and have it done by a private contractor. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated it will undoubtedly take more than six months. MR. EUBANKS said they will leave the petition in for the time being. VICE MAYOR SARN requested this be held over until the next meeting. COMMUNICATION FROM CITY MANAGER RHODES was read regarding 7/7 6 the communication from the County Beverage Company complaining about the license for cup vending machines. The license per- mits the use of 10 cup vending machines for $25.00 a year and states that out of town companies pay 100radditional. The provisions of the ordinance apply to all out of town business. If the City should change the license for the benefit of the County -Beverage Company it would mean the fees would have to be changed for the entire group of out of town businesses. It was the Manager's recommendation the petition be denied. Moved by Parchen, seconded by McClure, that the Manager's recommendation be followed. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. REPORT FROM CITY MANAGER RHODES was read regarding the proposed San Diego County Disaster Mutual Aid Agreement and Operational Plan. It is proposed that each of the nine cities in San Diego County together with the San Diego County Fire Department enter into this mutual aid agreement. It requires that the Mayor, Cit,; Manager and Fire Chief sign the agreement and send one copy to each city. In return National City will receive a copy of the agreement signed by each of the above mentioned officers from the other cities and the county in order that the plan will be operative. The Fire Chief of each city shall be the judge of whether he can send equipment to another city for help in fighting fires. This plan has been worked out by the Fire Chief's of various cities and submitted to the City Manager's group and has been approved by all of them. It is recommended that the Mayor, the City Manager and the Fire Chief sign one copy for each of the various cities and the county. VICE MAYOR SARN requested this be referred to Attorney Campbell for checking. COMMUNICATION FROM CITY MANAGER RHODES was read regarding a communication from Arthur B. Howell; Acting General Housing Manager of the Public Housing Administration. The confusion mentioned in Mr. Howell's letter was due to the fact that there are two subdivisions with the same names and different numbers. The numbers were reversed on the report sent to him. The matter has been straightened out and it is recommend- ed that the communication be filed. VICE MAYOR SARN ordered the communication filed. RESOLUTION NO. 5973 was read, amending Resolution No. 5968 as follows: That the classification therein set forth as Pool Clerk and Pool Cashier be eliminated. The following classifications are hereby added: Chief Pool Clerk and Cashier. $1.10 per hr.; Pool Clerk, $1.00 per hr. This resolution shall become effective July 15, 1953. Moved by Parchen, seconded by McClure, that the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye.

Moved by Parchen, seconded by McClure, that the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated that the Service Policy on a police car which was referred to him is for the services on Chief Smith's car. It is only for the regular services given any purchases of a car; and not a contract. It was his recommend- ation that Chief Smith fill it out and return it to Fuller Motors. There is no obligation on the part of the City. VICE MAYOR SARN requested that the City Attorney's recommend- ation be followed. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL reported that a deed was referred to him for a drainage easement across the property of Manabu B. Uyeji and Hifermi Uyeji, and there were certain conditions imposed and the City Manager stated that the conditions had been fully performed. Before the deed is accepted there should be an acknowledgment by the grantors that these conditions have been fulfilled. It might be possible that we could have the deed re -executed without the conditions. DON NEWBERRY stated they are no longer the owners, but the reason we had to accept the deed as it is was to be assured of getting the drainage easement as described. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL asked if the new owners would give the same kind of deed. MR. NEWBERRY stated he did not assume they would have any objection, and it is his understanding that they are subdividing it and it will require in their subdivision plans to honor this deed as described. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said for the protection of the City we should try and get a deed from the present owners. MR. NEWBERRY stated they are preparing plans for the subdivis- ion and the plans should be submitted to the Engineer's Office in the near future, and we will require any subdivision in that area to have that drainage channel through it. Mr. Newberry said he could get in touch with the Engineering firm that is doing the job and report back at the next meeting. VICE MAYOR SARN requested this be referred to Mr. Newberry for checking. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated that the deannexation action has been appealed. The appeal was filed today so that will auto- matically stay the necessity of any action by the Council. All members joined with the exception of Mr. McClure. Moved by Parchen, seconded by Carrigan, that the action of filing the appeal is ratified. COUNCILMAN McCLURE stated he would like for the records to show the grounds for the appeal. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the grounds have not been expressed. The entire judgment is the appeal. COUNCILMAN McCLURE stated if there are grounds for an appeal that is fine, but if it is an appeal just for the sake of appealing he did not see any point in making everyone mad. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated in his opinion there is legal grounds for appeal. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Carrigan, Parchen, Sarn. Nays: McClure. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated he would like the Council to decide just what they wish to have in the ordinance regulating signs as there are a number of things that should be decided. VICE MAYOR SARN suggested that the Council get together with Mr. Bird and go over this ordinance, and requested it be laid over until the Council can review this with Mr. Bird. Thursday night at 7:00 P.M. 7/7 8 ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated that the matter of amending Sub- division Ordinance 803 should be approved or disapproved by the Council, or laid over until the Council has time to make a further study. Moved by Parchen, seconded by McClure, this be laid over and that the Council meet with Mr. Bird on Thurs- day evening, July 16th at 7:00 P.M. in the Manager's Office. VICE MAYOR SARN asked that Mr. Newberry get a copy of Chula Vista's specifications. Carried; all Councilmen present voting aye. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated that in preparing an ordinance to establish a north -south truck route but without making pro- visions for an east -west route it will be difficult to en- force if you get somebody off that route; and that he would like to see one east -west route established. COUNCILMAN McCLURE stated that Mr. Beuthel told him they have found that a great deal of difficulty has been solved by putting up signs indicating the route, and most of them obey the signs assuming there is an ordinance to back up the signs. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated that might solve the problem. The truck route would then be from Main Street on Roosevelt to West Ave.; West Ave. to 18th, then from 18th to 30th Street on National Avenue. ORDINANCE NO. , an ordinance establishing a truck route, was presented for the first reading. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, that only the heading be read. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Carrigan, McClure, Parchen, Sarn. Nays: None. ORDINANCE NO.

A letter was received from the National School District, relative to them acquiring the E2 W2 S2 of 80 Acre Lot 1, Quarter Section 128, ex E 100'. Preliminary sketch was enclosed showing the buildings and classrooms as far from 18th Street and the West property line as reasonably possible so that they would not interfere with the proposed North and South Freeway, which is approximately 150 feet from the school site, and the buildings and classrooms will be about 225 feet from 18th Street with the playgrounds fenced. The Planning Commission recommended the acquisition by the National School Board of the described parcel of land for school purposes subject to the preliminary sketch presented and with the provision that all entrances to the school site be kept off of 18th Street. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said at this time there is sio action that the Council could take, the only thing that could be done would be if there might possibly be an objection by the Council, you could if you wish notify the School District, but there is nothing required. REPORT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION regarding request of L. E. Hamlet for an extension of time on his application for con- ditional exception granted by the Council, was presented. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the request is in time and the request 7/7 9 is made to the Planning Commission, and they have the power to grant the extension. There is no action the Council can take. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated it is his recommendation that the request of the San Diego Christian Schools be held up. The holder of the first trust deed on the property is objecting to the removal of the house. Mr. Campbell stated he has tried to contact the party but has been unable to do so. Mr. Dowell has assumed that the variance has been granted as there are signs on his property setting forth that fact. Until we get the clearance from the holder of the first trust deed, the Council should not act upon the zone variance. Moved by Parchen, seconded by McClure, this be held over until the next Meeting. Carried,. all Councilmen present voting aye. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL reported that the annexation proceedings were referred to the Boundary Commission and there has been no return made as yet. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated that the matter of fire insurance was referred to Mr. Rhodes, and there are now five $44,000.00 policies which is less than the appraised valuation, but it is within the proper limits.
