Gauteroaux, who upon being informed that the man scheduled to operate the filtering plant of the swimming pool would be unable to report to work until June 11, immediately directed the pool personnel in readying the pool for the open- ing June 8. Ho has devoted much time and effort during the past week to the accomplishment of this task. This letter is to express to Mr. Gautoroaux sincere appreciation for his generous and invaluable service. COUNCILMAN CLARKE asked why it was necessary to employ someone else to maintdtn the plant. VICE MAYOR CURRY said that Mr. Gautereaux no doubt has been relieved of recreational dutios and it is possibly out of his line to handle the pool since it is a pert of tho recreational program. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said ho thought it would be bettor economy to have Mr. Gautoroaux operate the pool as ho has dono in the pest. PARK SUP atfli'TTENDENT GAUTEREAUX stated the operat- ion of tho plant was taken over this yoer by tho Recreation 6/12 861 Dopartmont, and the Department as well as,tho Acting Administra tive Officer asked him to assist as much as possible in operat- ing the plant and got it startod. Some of the boys that aro working now have worked in the capacity of Lifo Guards, taking on considerable work as far as operational phases aro concerned One of the boys has workod for tho City throo years, is quite apt and is doing a good job as far es tho plant is concerned. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said ho is reforring to tho maintenance of the plant, who is rosponsiblo for the condition of the wator, etc. MR. GAUTEREAUX said he has boon kooping a close chock on it and advising them on the avorago of once or twice a day sinco the pool has boon open to tho public, and giving thom all the assistance possible. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said ha did not think outside holp should be hired to maintain the pool when we have mon capable, of doing it, who aro alroady on tho payroll. MR. GAUTEREAUX statod it is his undorstanding tho follow that was hired is also to do considorablo recreational work on tho playgrounds and fiolds. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said it was his undorstanding that at tho time Mr. Wagner was appointed to tho office which he now holds, thoro was to be absolutoly no oxpandituro mado oxcopt on the omergoncy basis, and Mr. Wagner was givon to undorstand that ho was not to hiro anybody. BILL MILLER, Chsirman Recreation Commission, was prosont and statod that tho man was not hired oxprossly to maintain the pool, but as a rocroation assistant. Mr. Miller said that ho, as ono mombor of ho Recreation Commission was in favor of Mr. Geutoroaux continuing to maintain tho pool ea ho has in the past, but thoro is no assuranco that Mr. Gauteroeu:: will not some day tako sick, and someone also in tho park should know how to operate the pool. It cannot be left in the hands of any one individual, that is why someone else was brought'on. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said he thought the Council should have been 6/12 862 appraised of the fact that additional help was brought into the servico of the City, when the Council is doing everything possible to cut down the expenses. ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE WAGNER stated the wages for this particular person were budgeter. in the present budget, so that it was anticipated et the time the budget was adopted, and it was not a case of overstepping the Council's jurisdiction in hiring this men. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said there were other things budgeted that we were not able to carry through. Whet the Council decided recently over- rules anything that was carried a year ego. ACTING ADMINISTRAT- IVE OFFICER WAGNER said thore has been no clarification of those things to him, and it was his understanding that the Council would try in every possible manner to conduct the City's business until tho end of the fiscal year without any additional expenso. COUNCILMAN HART said that from now on he hoped that no additional help would be hired without the Council's approval ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WAGNER said he thought it should be a policy of the Council to determine just which one of tho departments, the Park or Recreation, will be responsible for the operation of the pool. COUNCILMAN HART asked if Mr. Casoy could handle the job if necessary. ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WAGNER said he did not believe so. COUNCILMAN HART said he would like to soo Mr. Gautoreeux tako caro of the pool, that the Rocreation Dopartment has plenty of work. Moved by Hart, socondod by Clorkc, that tho oporation of tho swimming pool bo turned ovor to the Perk Dopertmont for maintenance and operation, and that et least four of the City emDloyeos bo thoroughly instructed on how to oporate semo. Carried, all Councilmen prosent voting eye. MR. GAUTEREAUX stated that it is both necossary to manage and operate the pool.

COUNCILMAN CLARKE said Mr. Crossley of tho Rocroaticr Dopartmont brought out tho fact that it was nocossary to have a man do maintonanco work, and thoro is a possibility that ho could bo kept on tho payroll. COUNCILMAN CLARKE informod Rocroation Diroctor Casoy of a motion to tho afloat that Mr. Gauteroaux is in chargo of tho maintenance of the pool. RECREATION DIRECTOR CASEY said tho man in quostion is Bob Taylor end ho took tho rocont oxamination for rocroation loador, and is on tho summor staff. Ho was s000nd on tho Civil Sorvico oxamination, and Mr. Ingalls said his major rocommond- ation for Mr. Taylor was that ho has had sevoral years oxporionco with swimming pools and ho felt ho would bo a valuablo addition to tho Rocroation Department.

CITY CLERK LLSTON stated Mr. Porter and Mr. Berry of this firm called at her office yesterday and preset. ed this letter, rnd they started working this morning. ACTING LDMINISTRLTIVE OFFICER WAGNER stated he had a memorandum from Right-of-way Engineer Simmons regarding a proposal of tide - lends lease from Albert E. Heflin, owner of the National Plating and Manufacturing Company. Mr. Heflin has decided on a portion of Parcel 2-L. L set of plans and a letter from Mr. Heflin were attached. COMMUNICATION FROM MR. HEFLIN was read, which stated he proposes to lease a portion of Parcel 2-1, to be used for a Plating and Manufacturing Company. He desires a five year term with ten year option. The parcel will contein approximately 31,800 squrre feet at the proposed rate of two cents per square foot, making e yearly rental of $636.00. He else stated he would like to make c proposal for a two year option of the remaining portion of Parcel 2-A rt 2 recsonsble fee to be determined by' the City Council. The plant will be used for the nroduction of vital defense material. The plant will consist of a concrete and steel building to bo constructed on a permanent basis. MR. HEFLIN was present and stated he needed more room to carry on his work and would like to be able to get started as quickly as possible with the building of his proposed plant. ACTING CITY ENGINEER SMITH asked Mr. Heflin the nature of the waste that will be discharged into the sewer. MR. HEFLIN said the only thing they have is rinse water. MR. SMITH asked if it contained acids. MR. HEFLIN said there would be some. Muriatic acid would be the main one. Mt. SMITH said that in our contract with the City of San Diego for the treatment of sewege they reserve the right to 6/12 876 restrict the discharge of acids and other substances into the sewer, and possibly it should be investigated, both from the treatment standpoint and also from the effect on the sewers themselves. COUNCILM:_N CLRRIG.N said he did not think the Council have any objections to Mr. Heflin going in on the tide- lands, but he thought it would be well to refer it to the City Lttorney and City Engineer for checking, prior to the time the lease is signed and also an opportunity to check the kind of lease and options to see how they compere with the various other leases that we have. LTTO NEY C..M2J3ELL said he will attempt to get these difficulties straightened out and if possible will have a recommendation by Friday night. VICE Mi.YOR CURRY request- ed this matter be referred to the City Lttorney and City Engineer for recommendation at the next meeting. £CTING LDMINISTRLTIVE OFFICER W._GNER reported that he has another lease adjacent to the one proposed by Mr. Heflin, which was presented today by Mr. Simmons. It is for Parcel 31 es proposed by E. N. Dye. The area is to be used for lumber storage, sales and distribution. L five year teem is proposed with five year option. The parcel will contain approximately 54,388.50 square feet at the proposed rate of two cents per square foot, making the yearly rental of $1,087.75. The building improvements will be es follows: 1. One office building of approximately 800 square feet to be mounted on concrete piers. 2. i. redwood and metal length fence to surround the area of said lease. 3. Two underground tanks will be installed. 4. One maintenance garage for trucks of approximately 800 square feet. The plans for this construction will be on a permanent basis. LTTORNEY CLMPEELL said Mr. Dye proposes a permanent structure, however the plans show it on concrete blocks. Mr. Dye informed him that he in- tended to remove the building et the termination of the lease. This is a policy for the Council to decide, whothor they wish thr 6/12 877 building to be removed or to remain. COUNCILMLN CLRRIGI.N said it would bo his opinion on short term leases that the building not revert to the City of National City. If a large substantial building were going to be nut up and the loavo was to run 25, 30 or evon 50 years and than revort to the City et that length of timo, thorn would bo somo reasonable grounds to expect manu- facturers to comp in and build plants. In tho event the Counci. picks a short term lease, there bo some sort of a bond put in tho agroomont that the proporty bo left as clown as it was who-1 it was loasod. Tho loasos should bogin to bo uniform, and a pi-1 should bo workod that will bo reasonable and factual for ovary - ono, and that the Planning Commission, City Plannor and Building Inspector bo asked to bring in thoir rocommondations. It might bo woll to see how San Diogo handlos their tidelands loasos and also thoir long term loasos. VICE MLYOR CURRY ordered this re- forrod to tho Oity Lttornoy and City Engineer for chocking and rocommondation.
