ENTERED July 21, 1953. i y7lerk oi National City, California VICE MAYOR SARN announced that it was 8:00 P.M. and time for the hearing on closing portion cf Wilson Avenue and portia-ii of 12th Street. ,;ITY CLERK ALSTON presented a pretest from the California Water & Telephone Company, which stated there is a 12-inch water main in this street supplying fire prc ection and numerous consumers in the neighborhood. To date no arrangements for relocation of the water main have been made by the adjacent owner who will receive the street property. This objection will be withdrawn when arrangements have been made for relocation of the water main. No one was present objecting to the proposed closing. VICE MAYOR SARN requested that the hearing be continued until August 4, 1953 at 8:00 P.M. o'clock. MR. PARKER; representing the Fred B. Mitchell Company, was present and stated they will take care of the protest of the Water Company now that they are st.tisfied that there are no other protests. THE HEARING ON THE 1911 IMPROVEMENT ACT PROCEEDINGS ON "A" AVENUE between 24th and 25th Streets was held at this time. 7/21 15 ATTORNEY CAMPBELL read the Engineer's report which shows the assessed valuation of the land, and improvements, and the true land value and the estimated cost of the work, on the property involved in this proceeding. The total estimated cost of work, $7,482.50. The amount of all unpaid assess- ments levied or to be levied under any pending proceedings is none. The bonds shall mature in ten years with ten principal installments and the bonds shall have an interest rate not to exceed six percent. R. B. KEMP was present and stated he owns Lots 1 to 3 inclusive in Block 2 of Smith & Plantes' Subd., and that when they made application for this project they were given to understand that the cost would be between $200. and $250. per lot. Most of the people con- cerned think the cost of this improvement is too much. They do not care for the sidewalks but would like to have the street paved and the curbs installed, and would like to know if there is not some chear paving that could be used. COUNCILMAN PARCHEN asked if/,could be necessary to go through the 1911 Act proceedings from the start if the property owners just wanted a paved street and curbs. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the plans cannot be modified by more than one -tenth of the estimated cost, and if the sidewalks were eliminated it would be about twenty percent. MR. KEMP asked what procedure would be necessary for just the concrete paving and curbs. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL suggested that a petition be filed with a waiver of the debt limitation act, that would eliminate all the prior hearings to this date. It would take 60 percent of the people involved in the area. MRS. McMAINS was present and stated she was in accord with Mr. Kemp, that the proposed cost of the improvements is too high and would like to have it done as Mr. Kemp suggested. MRS. CARMEN JASON, 2508 "A" Avenue, was present and stated that she felt that her property would receive no benefit whatsoever from this improvement. Her property is located on the south side of 25th Street. COUNCIL- MAN McCLURE stated there is an advantage that could be gained if a number of the assessment districts that have been petitioned could be combined and make a larger project. The cost of moving in equipment is the major portion of the job. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the Council need take no action at this time, but must act within 30 days from date of present- ation of the Engineer's report, and it can be considered again and action taken at the next meeting and perhaps in the interval Mr. Kemp could acquire signatures on a waiver petition, 'Oat it probably would have the same problem regard- ing the concrete paving, as it would be in the intersection and the assessment would be extended a half block south. MR. KEMP said he thought it would be useless to start the project if they have to go south of 25th Street. The people between 25th and 26th Street are not interested as they have some kind of paving. He said he thought everyone concerned would be satisfied if they had a good oiled street. Moved by Parchen, seconded by McClure, that the hearing be continued at the meeting of August 4, 1953. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. MRS. HARLAN J. DWIERE, 3435 Tonawanda Drive, was present and read her communication, which stated that she represented all the property owners beginning at 3355 Tonawanda Drive and extending along the southerly border of Rancho Mesa Annexation. The area is considered a public park and playground by hot rod racers, various gangs and hoodlums from Division Street to the International Border, They also have the problem of property damage from the illegal use of firearms: Unless the area is placed under police patrol on a one patrol per hour basis beginning at 7:30 P.M. and continuing until 3:30 7/21 16 A.M. they will hold National City directly responsible,. financially, for all future damage to their property. COUNCIL- MAN McCLURE asked the probable length of time that will be re- quired in the appeal of this case in regard to deannexation. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated it will probably be three or four months, it depends largely upon the Appellate Dept. COUNCIL- MAN McCLURE stated he has doubted the wisdom of appealing this case and it is his understanding that there has been a bill passed that would enable the area to deannex itself regard- less of the outcome of the appeal; and he wondered if everyone thought it was wise to continue that action since we have already taken it to court and have been ordered to deannex it. As far as National City is concerned that would definitely solve a problem. MRS. DWIERE stated they have not only National City taxes but they have additional water bond taxes, they have double on everything. Moved by McClure; that the appeal be dismissed and the resolution of deannexation be adopted. Motion died for want of a second. VICE MAYOR SARN requested' that the police action be referred to the Chief of Police and the other matters to the City Manager. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN recommended that Mrs. Dwiere's letter be filed with the Council and the Council request a reply from the Chief of Police. VICE MAYOR SARN stated they will contact the Chief and see if they cannot get a patrol car started at once to cover the territory. THOMAS CARTER, 1707 University Ave. San Diego, representing the Stuart Edwin Company; was present and stated that they entered into a contract with the City to install the improve- ments and develop a 46 lot tract to be known as Shirley Manor. They put in the sewer main line and prepared to put in the sewer house connections but were stopped by Mr. Finnerty of the Street Dept. They found there is a provision in the Ordinance whereby sewer house connections normally are supposed to be put in by the City at a cost of $75.00 each. This seems to be in conflict with their contract. According to the Ordinance they would have to take out a plumbing permit or have approval of the plumbing in the house before a permit for such house connections could be taken outbut it would be better to put the connections in at this time. Section 11 of the Ordinance provides for a Sewer Appeals Board to act in special cases; which this is considered to be. The Board met this afternoon and Attorney Campbell, who is not a member of the Board, was also present and he advised them that he did not think they had jurisdiction and they ruled that the Board could do nothing about it; and they are now appealing directly to the Council to see if by Council action they could continue to put in the sewer connections at this time. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the agreement that Mr. Carter referred to is the one that was necessary for them to sign before they signed the final subdivision map. The list of improvements were those proposed by Mr. Carter's engineer and they were then approved as being proper by Mr. Rhodes and the City Engineer's Office. It further provides that the installations of these various items must be in accordance with the Ordinances of the City of National City and all laws of the State. Attorney Campbell said if the Council saw fit to change the Ordinance to permit subdividers to put in their own laterals they could do that, however, there is a time problem involved. The City could have someone else other than their own employees put in the laterals, however with that number it would be necessary to go to bid. Mr. Carter is requesting that the permit fee be waived and permit them to put in the laterals. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN asked if it would not be possible for the City to advertise for bids so that they could be accepted at the next 7/21 17 meeting and then put the laterals in. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated there would be no problem at all, they could be put in by the City now, or you could call for bids to be opened at the next meeting. VICE MAYOR SARN declared a recess. THE MEETING was called to order by Vice Mayor Sarn. Council- men present: Carrigan, McClure, Parchen, Sarn. Councilmen absent: Hart. Moved by Parchem, seconded by Carrigan, that the laterals for this particular project be advertised for bids to be opened August 4, 1953. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. MR. CARTER asked what the vote was, that he only heard one aue. Moved by Parchen, seconded by Carrigan, that we have a roll call on the motion. Carried, by the following vote to - wit: Ayes: Carrigan, McClure, Parchen, Sarn. Nays: None. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, that the City Clerk contact Mrs. Dwiere and request that she bring in her tax bill and water bill so that it can be checked as they would like to see what the water bonds are, if any. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. MRS. EDITH KODISH, 2107 "A" Avenue, was present and read a communication in regard to the Chamber df Commerce. In the tentative budget there is a sum of $5,000. and she requested the Council to strike it from the budget and enter into no new contract with the Chamber. JOE RAMOS, President of the Chamber of Commerce, was present and read a communication which stated that the Board of Directors at the July 16, 1953 meeting made a motion which carried without dissent that the Chamber create a Water Committee, the prime function to be study and recommendation of a course of action for solution of this community's water problems. They ask the Council's endoresment and approval of the creation of such a committee with the idea that the committee in turn could enlist the cooperation of not only the Council's but also that of the City Council of Chula Vista and the directors of the South Bay Irrigation District, to create like committees to work cooperatively toward the common goal. The Board directed that its committee be com- posed of five members, four chosen by the Board and the fifth recommended by the City Council. One Chamber member, Mr. George Johnson, has evinced a deep interest and has offered to give generously of his time in digging into the problem, with the interest of the community uppermost. The Board was un- animous in approving Mr. Johnson's appointment as chairman of the proposed committee, which would include the Council's representative and others to be announced as soon as appointed. The Chamber earnestly solicits the Council's approval of this plan. VICE MAYOR SARN stated the Council has this letter on file. COUNCILMAN McCLURE stated he thought this was a splendid idea. Moved by McClure, that the Council approve the Chamber's committee, and that the selection of a represent- ative be deferred a couple of weeks to give the Council a chance to consider who would best serve as a Council re- presentative; and that the Chamber's interest be approved by the City Council. Motion died for want of a second. MR. RAMOS asked if that means it is rejected. VICE MAYOR SARN stated he thought the Council should give this more consideration due to the fact that we have a previous letter regarding the Chamber's budget, and that both letters should 7/21 18 be given some thought. MR. RAMOS stated they were not asking for any money. VICE MAYOR SARN stated they were asking for an endorsement; and we have another letter stating that no money should be allowed in the budget for the Chamber. VICE MAYOR SARN asked Mrs. Kodish if she would file her communication with the Council. MRS. DOROTHY JENSEN was present and stated on the front page of the National City News last week there was a notice stating that through the long time efforts of the Chamber of Commerce four new industries have been brought to National City. Mrs. Jensen stated she contacted the four companies concerned and not any of them had had any contact with the Chamber of Commerce. HERBERT A. BARNES was present and asked what the procedure should be if an official of the Council has an Outside interest in the purchase of anything; and it is his under- standing it is a criminal offense for a government official to have any outside interest in the purchase of anything. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated there is a provision that it is illegal for any officer to make a profit out of any of his dealings by action of any board of which he is a member. The contract is also illegal if any dealing is done by any member of the Council for his private gain. However, if no profits are participated in, and it is not a private concern, and it is assumed Mr. Barnes has reference to the Insurance Agents Association, and to Mr. Sarn, Attorney Campbell said he does not feel any insurance by the Council to the Insurance Agents would be by contract because of Mr. Sarn's membership in a non profit organization. MR. BARNES stated he thought the Insurance Agents Association should be done away with. PETITION FOR IMPROVEMENT OF 7TH STREET AND "T" AVENUE, was presented. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated the Council can accept the petition and authorize that plans and specifications be prepared. COUNCILMAN McCLURE stated that he felt the Council should investigate the possibility of combining a number of petitions for improvements in the interest of lower- ing the costs, and suggested it be held over. VICE MAYOR SARN requested this be held over until the next meeting. APPOINTMENT OF MEMBER TO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY was presented. VICE MAYOR SARN stated he would like to appoint Councilman Carrigan to this post. COUNCILMAN McCLURE stated that several years ago the City employed an Attorney that was well versed in water laws and he pointed out a number of things, among which was incompatible appointments, that is in case;:of difficulties between the Water Authority and the City, a member of the Council appointed to that position would be on both sides of the question, and he recommended against it. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated that Mr. Jennings, who is the Counsel for the San Diego County Water Authority knows of no incom- patibility between Councils and the Water Authority, his contention is that the acts are entirely distinct. VICE MAYOR SARN asked Councilman Carrigan if he wished to accept the appointment. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN stated he had no objections as long as there is no legal entanglement. RESOLUTION NO. 5978 was read, stating that the Vice Mayor of National City has heretofore appointed Maurice Carrigan as National City's representative on the San Diego County Water Authority as a member thereof. Said appointment is for the term provided by law. The City Council does hereby approve and ratify said appointment. Moved by Parchen, seconded by 7/21 19 Sarn, that the Resolution be adopted. Carried, by the follow- ing vote to -wit: Ayes: Parchen, Sarn, Carrigan. Nays: McClure. APPLICATION BY IRENE G. CHURNING for a refund of $2.50 on a business license, was read. The request was approved by the City Treasurer. Moved by McClure, seconded by Parchen, that the refund be granted. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Carrigan, McClure, Parchen, Sarn. Nays: None. REPORT OF CITY TREASURER FOR MONTH OF JUNE was ;presented and ordered filed. COMMUNICATION FROM CITY OF SAN DIEGO was read, to which was attached a certified copy of Resolution No. 113020, adopted by the City Council of San Diego, July 7, 1953, which gives the consent of the City Council of San Diego to the annexat- ion by the City of National City of certain land described in said resolution. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated the property is located North of Division Street at Laurel. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated this has been before the Boundary Commission and has been approved subject to San Diego's consent, a petition can now be circulated, and recommended It be referred to the Engineer's Office for conveyance of that information to the persons coming into the City. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by McClure, that the recommendation of the City Attorney be followed. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. CITY CLERK ALSTON presented a Money and Securities Policy which covers employees handling moneyt with the exception of the City Treasurer and City Clerk who are bonded individually. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL approved the policy as to form. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by McClure, that the policy be accepted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated that Ets-Hokin & Galvan who have the contract for the installation of the traffic signal at 24th and National Avenue presented their insurance policy and the City Attorney requested an adjustment, and they have sent in an endorsement. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated it is now approved as to form, they have complied with all the conditions. Moved by McClure, seconded by Carrigan, that the policy be accepted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE for Workmen's Compensation by Ets- Hokin & Galvan, was presented. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL approved the certificate as to form. Moved by McClure, seconded by Carrigan, that the certificate of insurance be accepted. Carried, all Councilmen„present voting aye. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated at the last meeting the premiums on the Treasurer's bond, Street Supt.'s bond and City Clerk's bond came up for renewal and it was requested these bonds be placed with the Insurance Agents Association. COMMUNICAT- ION FROM THE INSURANCE AGENST ASSOCIATION was read stating that after careful study it has been determined that the best interests of the City would be served if the bonds on the City Treasurer and City Clerk would be permitted to remain in force, rather than to be returned for cancellation to the present carrier and new bonds written through the Association. Public bonds covering elected officials are written for a term concurrent with the term of office, and therefore the two bonds in question do not actually expire until April 1956. If the existing bonds were to be cancelled and new bonds 7/21 20 issued in the middle of a term of office, an audit would be necessary for the two companies involved as of the date of change, possibly .causing an expense for the audit, and also the City might be put in a poor position if a loss were dis- covered where it was difficult to show a date of loss with two companies involved. It is the recommendation of the Association that the City Council change its recent order, and authorize the payment of the premiums on the City Clerk's and City Treasurer's bonds in the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company. . When these two terms of office come up again in April of 1956 the Association will be very happy to issue bonds at that time. The bond for the Supt. of Streets is being issued through the Association as of July 1; 1953. VICE MAYOR SARN ordered the communication filed. BILLS AUDITED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE presented: General Fund $5,623.69 Park M & I Fund 313.04 Trust & Agency Fund 500.00 Street Fund 350.82 Payroll Fund 18,862.06 TOTAL $25,649.61 Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, that the bills be allowed, and warrants ordered drawn for same. Carried, by the following vote to -wit: Ayes: Carrigan, McClure, Parchen, Sarn. Nays: None. RESOLUTION NO. 5979 was read, authorizing the following ex- penditure for capital asset be paid from the Capital Outlay Fund: Trott & Kingaard, sewers~ $7,919.60. Moved by Parchen, seconded by McClure, that the Rdsolution be adopted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. APPLICATION BY AVALON CLUB for on sale general beverage license, was presented. It is a transfer of ownership. VICE MAYOR SARN requested the application filed. CITY CLERK ALSTON stated we received another change order on the trash and garbage collection for the Navy, and they wish to change the number of units from 297 to 208. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated there is another change order pending and suggested this be referred to the City Manager. VICE MAYOR SARN requested this be referred to the City Manager for checking. APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 4+60 signed by William A. Vollmer for Safeway Stores, Inc., was presented. It was the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the exception be granted with the provision that 30 feet, in addition to approximately an 85 foot radius cul-de-sac at Third Street, be dedicated for the opening of "J" Avenue from Third to Fourth Street. No one was present opposing this application. J. D. PRINGLE, Real Estate Manager of the Safeway Stores, was,:present and stated he would like to have a sketch of the portion of street that the Council wishes the Safeway Stores to dedicate to the City, together with a legal des- cription of the property; and asked if Mr. Newherry would ..'..ire ef this. !,,:r. i iriC-�-4 a Slat c�t they will be very glad to deed the 30 feet that the Planning Commission asked them to. but the City might be asking them to deed some property which they do not own, according to the map shown. DON NEWBERRY stated that the only thing that would concern Safeway Stores is the land lying Westerly of the projected center line 7/ 21 21 of "J" Avenue, everything lying Easterly is private property and most of it has been acquired as of this date. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated it would permit the West 30 feet of "J" Avenue projected North from 4th Street to the North side of Third Street to be dedicated by Safeway Stores. RESOLUTION NO. 5980 was read, granting a special zone variance permit to Safeway Stores; Merle W. & Phyllis Y. Fankhanel; Will E. & Helen Pratt; Donald D. & Betty R. Chase; Frederick G. & Eddie Mae Chase; and 0tho B. Markel, for the purpose of constructing a commercial development on property des- cribed on Exhibit attached to said Resolution for a depth of 290' Easterly from Highland Avenue. Said permit is granted upon certain conditions as stated in said Resolution. Moved by Carrigan, seconded by Parchen, that the Resolution be adopted. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated that in regard to the Chamber of Commerce bill which was held over from the last meeting - there has been no change in any data, and suggested it be tabled until supporting data is provided. Moved by Parchen, seconded by Carrigan, that the bill be tabled until support- ing data is supplied. Carried, all Councilmen present voting aye. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL suggested that the acceptance of the deed for a drainage channel, which was referred to him, be held up as Mr. Newberry said they are providing for a drainage channel in the subdivision, and if it is not so provided in the subdivision map it can be required at that time. VICE MAYOR SARN requested this be laid over until we receive the subdivision map.
