COMMUNICATION FROM CHARLES LUCKMAN was road, inviting the membors of the Council to tako dinner with him Tuesday evening, May 20th instead of mooting with them after tho Council mooting, 0 VICE M/.YOR CURRY said that it was doeidod at tho mooting with Mr. Luckman that ho offer moro plans for the pior and the Council moot with him at somo futuro dato. COUNCILMAN CLARKE ■ stated that Mr. Luckman is going to contact Mr. Doan and they will go into this matter thoroughly. There was nothing definite- ly decided at this mooting, it was just to clarify whore the City stood regarding Doan and Luckman. At tho next mooting it is tho desire of Mr. Luckman for Attorney Campboll to be present as well es all members of the Council. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN asked about the bill of Poroira & Luckman. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said thoro was a bill for $4,000. for tho rotainor foo, which has boon paid. CITY CLERK ALSTON said thoro is a bill in to- night for $8,500. and ono for $4,156.80. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said that Mr. Luckman is award of the fact that this amount is due but ho is not prossing the payment of that amount. 5/29 805 COUNCILMAN HART said the amount of money that is due can bo addod to the contractor's ehargos and paid that way. VICE MAYOR CURRY ennouncod that it was 8:00 P.M. and time for tho hoaring on the proposod rezoning annexations. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said the hoaring is to bo hold on any protosts on the following annexations: Dodders, Euclid Mission, Euclid Rancho, Fisher, Florence Resubdivision, Logan, Millerton, Palm Valley, Pritchards and Swootwator Delta. J. 0. DOWELL, 2021 S. 43rd Street, was pros©nt end protostod tho zoning of proporty in Fishor Annexation. MR. WAGNER road tho zoning roeomnondations as set up by tho Planning Commission. Mr. Wagner said at the tine of the Planning Commission's rocomnondation thore was little known es to the request of Mr. Dowoll for tho C-4 in tho R-4 zonos in the Fishor Annoxation. After tho first post- ing there was no prctost and aftor tho second posting in the National City News there was no protost from Mr.Dowell. It was not until the second hearing that he requostod tho c-4 in tho R-4 zono. COUNCILMAN HART said ho thought tho Council should go along with tho Planning Commission on the proposod razonAng of the ennoxations. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said that as far as tho valid existing usos within this torritory, that ho did not boliovo tho Building Ordinanco will offoct it whatsoever be- eauso it is looking to tho future of businoss usos of proporty. Insofar as the Church or School is eoncornod, if they woro validly in oxistoneo et tho time this procooding was originally initiated, he een continuo to use tho Church and School if it conplios with all othor rogulations, such as hoalth, etc. As far es tho trailors aro eoncornod, it is a problem that will aolvo itsolf, Mr. Dowoll has informod Chiof of Police Smith and himsolf that tho trailers will be runovod by June 15th. MR. WAGNER said tho Planning Commission in studying Mr.,Dowoll's 5/29 806 ease, hes felt that tho C-4 and R-4 uses in that vicinity aro out of thoir proper loeatien. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said that tho Council and tho City Manager on ovory occasion in which annexations woro discussod, thoro woro no toehnicalitios, legalities, or any fora mentioned, it was promised to the people. in the annexed aroas, that if thoy had a business, etc., it would remain in that particular lncation. MR. WAGNER said that was tho intent of tho Planning Commission, but wo havo no zone that is ccmpareblo to tho County's 0-1 and thoir Rel zone. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said as far as logality is concerned, we can take eny oxtremo, if thoro was a heavy manufacturing business in en area that was being zoned into an R-1, if that business continues and stays at that sago spot and doos not grow and dons not try to oxpand, zoning into an R-1 would not run that business out of oxistonco. Tho objection would bo that no one else could establish a similar businoss, but the man that is thoro at that tlno eannot bo zoned out. MR. DOWELL said the R•3 that he owns joins an R-4 in National City, and a C.2 on tho other side. If it bocomos an R-1 ho cannot build any more, and that is whore he has his church, cannot expand his school or church, but on tho National City sido is an R-4 and he feels that ho should havo an oqual right as those in an R-4. COUNCIL- MAN HART said ho thought wo should uphold tho Planning Commiss- ion's rocommondation. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said tho unfortunato part of this is that Mr. Dowell does not have a building, he just has a tont. MR. DOWELL said ho purehasod this proporty, callod 0-2 on the nap,in Octobor and appliod to tho County Planning Commission for a bone fide trailer court, and was turned down. Mr. Dowoll said he was only asking for 150 foet to be zoned for R-4. It takes an R-4 in National City in ordor to have a church and it takes an R-1 in tho County. MR. WAGNER road from tho Planning Commission's minutos which statod that 5/29 807 Planner Wcgnor should contact tho Building Inspoctor and tho City Attorney, and that Mr. Dowoll should bo pormittod to build the,chureh, classrooms and dormitories noar thoir existing facilities. Tho roport status that Mr. Dowoll had subnittod to Mr. Simmons, Right-of-way Enginoor, plans for a church and school in C-2 zono aroa and would dodieato a half width stroot for Division Stroot and fcco buildings on it and would be willing to sot back 75 foot from tho contor lino of Division Stroot. MR. WAGNER said tho quostion of this zoning was brought up aftor the socond hearing of the Planning Commission, and rather than hold up tho whole zoning program for annoxations, tho Commission fools that if this woro allowod to go through as suggostod, that Mr. Dowoll could potition to tho Planning Commission at a lator dato to ehango tho zoning, if ho so dos.iros. MR. DOWELL said ho-did-not'soo why ho should apply for a zono variance on sonothing ho airoady has, or did have, it has been taken away. MR. WAGNER stated that Mr. Dowoll's use has not been taken away, the zonesaro not rotroactivo. Moved by Hart, socondod by Ingalls; that tho hearing bo con- tinuod for another wook. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said ho felt that the Attorney should got togothor with Mr. Dowoll and the Plann- ing Commission in this regard. Carriod, all Councilmen present voting aye.

COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN sal' thoro is a bill for $4,156. and another for $8,500. and askod if this is the full amount of tho contract, or will thoro bo tore billings later for tho balaneo. MR.

Thoro is an indication if tho City is named as the defendant in an action by Mr. Forrester -that they will defend us. The insuror of We F. Nelson is still in aboyanoe. The quoation as to whether or not Mrs. Sullivan was within her authority when sho authorized this work, is factual, and ho is of tho opinion that if tho city pays the claim now tho insurance company will not reimburso the City. It is tho Attornoy's re- commendation that the claim bo donied, and by so doing the City will undoubtedly havo an action, but ho will bo able, by so doing, to bring in tho Nelson Company and perhaps the other defendants and havo it litigated.

ATTORNEY CAMPBELL reported that ho roceivod an objection from tho California Water and Tolophone Company regarding a map of tho dry land aroa, filed by the City of National City, in the roeont Publics Utilities Commission's Roaring, Tho objections are on theso grounds: 1. It dons not set forth all tho dry land within the City limits as it is supposed to do. 2. It shows land that is not within the operative sorvico area of the California Wator and Tolophone Company, or by implication having the right to servico. Tho Secretary of tho Public Utilities Commission states that they aro enclosing a espy of tho objost- ions. Their letter stated it would bo approcintod if en amended map would be filed, setting forth all the dry land within the 5/29 1 815 City limits of tho City of National City, and ask that It bo filod as soon as,possiblo. Mr. Canpboll said this wes received last Wodnesday and Mr. Wngnor was told about it and ho in turn info mod Mr. Simmons, who prepared tho first nap, We wore unable to detormino from Mr. Simons whothor or not a socond nap had boon sent until today, and Mr. Simmons informed us it had and that the first nap included all tho dry land on which ho had figuros or othor data. Ho could not sot forth ovory particular ploco of dry land, as only tho Wator Compnny has that information. Tho objoction as to taking in aroa not within the sorvico area of tho Wator Company, was probably incorrect because ho sot it forth in the lost proposed annex- ation, howovor, it was sot forth separately and dosigneted as not being within the City. Mr. Poultor has informed Mr. Simons and Mr. Carrigan that tho Public Utilitios Commission will rendor thoir decision tomorrow. If that is the case, Attorney Canpboll said he thinks it would bo lost notion to filo this map, howevor, if the decision is not out tomorrow, wo should attempt to comply ovon though wo will probably bo objoctod to again by tho California Wator and Telephone Company. ATTORNEY CAMPBBLL stctod if thoro is no objoction ho will do nothing on It if tho ruling comos out tomorrow, if not ho will procood to filo tho amondod nap. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL reportod that Edison M. Dyo hes roquostod a loose of cortain tidolands of 54,388.50 squaro foot, proposod rate $$0.02 por squaro foot, =eking a yoarly rontal of 01,087.75. The information dogs not show tho torn proposod or offer. It if is the dosiro of tho Council a loaso can bo properod but it will bo nocossary to know the poriod of tino involvod.• Mr. Wagner can describe tho other aroes now loasod, of which thoro ero thoro. Mr. Canpboll stated that tho first ]n nso detod 5/29 816 Nov. 30, 1950 was for a poriod of 5 years, with an additional five yoars option. Tho socond loase was for five years start- ing Dec. 1, 1950 with an option of ono year. The third loase commonced April 1, 1951 for a period of ono yoar with a renewal option of 10 years or an option to ronow for fivo yoars and a secondary option of fivo yoars. COUNCILMEN HLRT askod if water is now available. ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WAGNER said he was informed that wetor is available for tho six leases north of 19th Street. COUNCILMAN CLARKE asked if any construction has bean started on tho land which Mr. Dyo proposes to le aso. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said ho bo/loves it has boon, although no building pornit has boon issuod. Rorhaps ono of the things that should bo considorcd is.tho termination dcto of the varioua leases. Mr. Campbell said ho his no knowlodgo of what Mr. Dyo is going to use the land for, other than a Lunbor Company, but he does not know whothor ho is going to havo any buildings on the lend and inprovo tho tidolands. VICE MAYOR. CURRY said ho thought it is vory important to know what Mr. Dyo oxpocts to do. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL askod if it would bo pormissiblo to tho Council if eithor Mr. Simmons, Mr. Wagner or ho contact Mr. Dyo-and find out tho proposed use, and tho proposod oxpondituro on tho tide- lands, and thon it can bo tied down in the loaso. COUNCILMEN CLARKE said that Mr. Davis was prosont and that ho is vory active on the Chamber of Comnorco as far as industry is con• cernod rogarding tho tidolands, and asked Mr. Davis if he could givo any information rogarding tho proposed ease of Mr. Dye. CHARLES M. DAVIS was prosont and stated that ho did not know anything about this particular ono. It is difficult to find pooplo who would bo willing to put up pernanont buildings on a lease basis. Mr. Davis said ho intonds to find out from San Diogo how they write thoir loasos, what thoy chargo, otc. 5/29 817 • 1 tidelands with industry. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said in San Diogo tho largo substantial buildings rovort back to tho City at tho • termination of tho ]ease. MR. DAVIS said that he bolievos that the foundation for a healthy growing community is based primar- ily on a broad industrial base. We havo something very valuablo in National City that wo should not consider too lightly, and that is a certain aroa available for industry. because they havo largo pornenont buildings and no doubt on a long torn loose. Thoro is no roason why wo cannot fill our ATTORNEY CAMPBELL roportod that Mr. Gordon's Final Map of Bovorly Glen Subdivision is not approved. Tho City is not holding him up, but tho Wator Company doos not want to ontor into an Lgroomont with Mr. Gordon until thoy soo what the ruling is going to bo from tho Puplic Utilities Commission. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stated thoro is a portion of tho proposed School property to which tho City doos not havo cloar title. Thoro has boon a quiot titlo search nado, and if tho Council so wishes ho will proceed with tho quiot title action on that particular piece of property. BERNARD DAME was present and statod that if you aro going to start a quiot title action, why not quiot titlo on all tho othor pioeos of proporty. Thon it would bo all in ono suit, thoro is no oxtra chargo, ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said ho has not soon tho quiot titlo soareh for this Particular piece of proporty. If you aro going to filo against othor pioeos of proporty it would nocossitato having a quiot titlo soareh against thoso pioeos, and would dolay the action on tho School proporty. COUNCILMAN CLRfIGLN said that all tho school is asking for is an option and that ho did not soo why the othor pioeos could not bo includod in tho action. ATTORNEY CAMPLELL sold it can bo done, you can incorporate any numbor of 5/29 818 lots and defendants within your action. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said ho believed tho School Board would profor having sono statomont from tho Council to tho fact that wo will grant this option. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said an agroonont can bo proparod and ontorod into, and that ho had intondod to proparo that fora of option as soon as the legal description is proparod, and that should bo ready noxt wook. VICE MLYOi CURLY requostod that this bo hold ovor until tho noxt mooting. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL roportod in rogerd to tho Sewage Contract with San Diogo. Mr. Wngnor, Mr. Smith and ho mot with Mr. Blurs of tho City Managorts Offico in San Diogo. Mr. Hall, Capt. Fogg, Mr. Harvoy Colo and a roprosontativo from tho City Attornoy's offico, wore present also. Mr. Wagnor and Mr. Smith havo the figuros rogarding tho price. However, tho City of San Diogo seems agrooablo to ontor into a nogotiatod con- tract eonowhat similar to tho ono wo now have, howovor, thoy will olininato tho provision as to Son Diogo's right to lay pipes in the stroot, or that is,thoir ocsemont rights, in tho evont Notional City will not carry their sowago. It will bo dopondont upon a mutual agroonont whoroby National City will carry sowago originating from San Diogo proporty, such as Paradiso Hills. Thoy in turn will agroo to carry sowegc through thoir pipos in Paradise Hills whon and if National City's growth expands or goes to tho oast. It will hove an onlargod portion of time as to cancellation, somothing noaror 18 months than 12 months, which will givo Notional City a chango to construct thoir own sowago disposal syston. Thorc is also to bo a provision that any revision of pricos should bo around March or April, and only onto a yoar, and in that way this City could proparo its budgot in e.ccordanco with any increase if San Diogo found it was nocessary3 That is tho proposed change, or change, 5/29 819 ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WLGNER said as a rosult of this discussion, we throe from National City fool that San Diogo is in a vory good mood to cooporato with us to work out joint sewago problems, We aro awaiting a contract to bo worked out by the Cities' Attornoys to prosont to tho Council boforo a final rocomnondation is nado, and further nogotiations. ATTORNEY CAMiBELL said ho boliovod tha proposod contract will bo noro advantogoous to tho City of National City than th© prosont ono, with ono excoption, tho increase of ratos, which we aro going to got anyway, Ono problam that night prosont itself, if this agroonont moots with tho approval of tho two Councils„ will tho prosont sowago syston in National City carry the proposod Wherry projoct. San Diego is somewhat anxious to havo National City carry tho sowago disposal from tho Wherry projoct and they would like a form of resolution showing gonorcl intant. There is nothing binding upon this City, but in turn thoy can convoy that information to tho Navy. Mr. Canpboll said he believed that wo will probably got a noro favorable contract bocauso thoy want to deal with us also. Mr. Smith will probably be ablo to inform us whothor the prosont system will carry the Wherry project. ACTING CITY ENGINEER SMITH stated that ho did -not have the proposed load from the Wherry project or tho proposod load from the Paradise Hills syston, so ho has not boon able to make any study of it to dato. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL stctod 1f the linos will carry it, it will probably result in quito an incono to the City of National City, or at least quito an offset. MR. SMITH said that is corroet, thrro would bo, of course, the cost involvod, the sowago oust bo jumped so tho entire foo that thoy would pay would not bo profit, but would bo usod to defray the test of tho pupping and additional wear and tear on tho puns cud whatever additional naintonanco is 5/29 820 roquirod. COUNCILMLN CLLRKE askod Mr. Smith if tho pipo lino would entail much oxponso for putting it in. MR. SMITH said tho exponso for installing tho lino would not bo National City* rosponsibility in this erso. This proposal to which Mr. Canpboll roforrod was that tho Agoncy initiating tho nood for sorvico, in this caso, Snn Diogo, would bring tho lino to tho existing sowor lino, which in our ecso happens to bo at approxinatoly 18th and Rachol .t,vonuo. VICE MAYOR CURRY askod how the City would bo componsatod for tho use of that lino. MR. SMITH said to his knowlodgo thoro is no customary way sot out, but the City of San Diogo is proposing that a service charge for transportation of sowago bo ostablishod, bnsod on the cost por pillion gallons per mile, and if that is adopted it would be necossary to nonsuro tho length of tho lino through which the sewage was dischargod and measure tho amount of sew - ago discharged into that lino, in this particular caso it would bo the oast and of National City, and tho billing would bo monthly, quartorly or whatovor night bo sot up on the por pillion gallon por milo basis, and tho second portion of tho cost would bo the cost cf pumping, and thoy havo proposod a prieo par pillion gallons for pumping. COUNCILMAN CLARKE asked If that woulc entail tho expense to Ns;ionnl City of the In- stallation of motors. MR. SMITH said that the prosont proposal is that the City of San Diogo will install its motors. Howovor, thore are some other aroas that could bo involved possibly at a later date. National City has a pupping plant at Laurel and Division, and if such an agreonont woro nogotinted tho torus of tho agreement would roquiro tho City of San Diogo to take sewage from National City just as National City would be re- quired to trice sews- from San Diego, and it night bo to our advantage to ollnir.._ rQ That pupping plant and wild a lino to 5/29 1 821 drain directly into San Dingo's gravity sowor, in that case National City would bo expected to build tho measuring station. VICE MLYOR CURRY askod if tho lino is largo onough to carry the load, would it bo additional rovonuo to tho City for tho carrying of the sowago? MR. SMITH said that is hard to prodict, thorn is no doubt but thatiit will carry tho immodi^to load, but assuming the conpioto dovolopmont of tho area within National City's bounderios wo might run into a caso some yoars honco whon it would not carry tho load, and thon it would bo nocessary to build additional lines or roplaco tho oxisting lines with largor onos. COUNCILMf.N CARRIGAN said tho City of San Diogc cortainly would havo a groator invostnont than wo would havo, and thero would bo no possiblo woy as far as he can son that National City would loso honey. MR. SMITH said ho thought that is probably true. Ho has not chockod in detail the source of thoir figuros, but ho did loarn that thoy usod tho avorago of tho cost of transportation of sowago in 10 inch to 30 ineh limos. Wo night have sono criticism on 30 inch boeaaso National City doos not havo any linos that largo. Gonorr.11y speaking the smeller linos east noro por pillion gallons for meintonaneo and depreciation. COUNCILMI.N CARRIGAN said oven if it woro nocossary to put in c now lino to sorvice Paradise Hills and tho whorry projoet, it is his opinion, that in discussion with tho San Diogo Council, that thoy would bo oxtronoly fair in bearing their portion of tho cost. MP.. SMITH said undor this now proposal that is not proposed. It is proposod only that tho sorvico for tho transportation of tho sowago bo provided for thoso that havo boon proposed, end if a largor lino is roquirod it would bo the rosponsibility of whichovor City happorod to bo in control of that lino to make, tho largor lino cv2'i:1-.e. 5/29 822 CITY CLERK ALSTON statod that aftor the discussion with the insuranco group tho Council rccoivod a lottor from Mr. Stophcn: which states that inasmuch as ho has not boon dofinitoly advised of the Council's docision with rogard to tho ronowal of tho firo insuranco policios which oxpiro on Juno 1, 1951, ho has had tho policios ronowod in order to protect tho City. Enclosed woro two policios togothor with thorr invoico to covor tho promiuns on both policios. MRS. ALSTON statod tho enclosed statement is for S867.68. COUNCILMAN CLRRIaAN said that in viow of tho fact that tho lottor was not writton to Mr. Stephens, he would roconnond that tho policios and tho bill bo roturnod to him with tho lottor prescribod et the particular Council mooting night that it wont on, and lot him comply with thoro instructions. COUNCILMAN CLARKE said it will soon bo tho 1st of Juno, and askod if any arrangomonts havo boen made regarding insuranco. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said he Felt that Mr. Stephens is personally responsiblo if this policy would lapse and ]a avo tho City without coverago, bocause thoro was no possiblo way ho could misunderstand tho Council's instructions on the two provious occasions, and ho has failed to comply. VICE MAYOR CURRY stated it was his understanding with the meeting of the jnsuranco people that thoy wero going to got togothor and make some rocommondatien as a fair moans of handling and distributing tho insuranco, which has not boon dono so far. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said that was tho reason for tho 30 day bindor roquost, ho thought it was thoir undorstanding that thoy had 30 days to get that in so tho roeonnondation could bo taken and the insuranco writton as of July 1st rather than Juno 1st. Mr. Stophons was to bo notifioa of tho fact that wo woro not buying tho :.rEurance policios1 noithor woro wo turninr him down, but tho roquost was for a 30 day bindor or similar protection, to givo tho roal estate association an opportunity 5/29 • • 823 to cone in with a recommendation. VICE MAYOR CURRY said the City should nako suro that wo arc eovorod at all tines and tho policies do not lapso. VICE MAYOR CURRY roquostod this nattor bo roforrod to Acting Ldninistrativo Officer Wagnor and attorney Canpboll to work out and roport on sono roans to rake suro that tho City is covorod until such time tho insurance policies aro submitted. COUNCILMAN CI,R.RIGAN roconnondod that the lettor, tho insuranco policies and tho invoice bo dolivorod porsonally by the Ldninistrativo Officor to Mr. Stophens on Thursday morning. ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WLGNDR. reportod that ho roceivod a lettor from tho Electrical Products Corp., Los Angeles, which statod thoy roceivod a lottor from the San Diego offico in- forming thou that National City wishod to cancol their rontal contract covoring tho display of "National City" and havo tho display removed. If it is tho dosiro of tho Council to purchaso this sign it can bo hod for G37.00 plus appliceblo texas. COUNCIT,MDN CARRIGAN said ho would roconnond that tho City pur- chase tho sign. Movod by Clarke, socondod by Hart, that tho Acting Adninistretivo Officor bo authorizod to ontor into nogotiations for purcheso of tho sign. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said ho thought it night bo woll to find out whothor tho Electrical Products Corp. will take the sign dawn for that price, or whothor tho City will havo to take, it down.

Carried, all Councilman prosont voting aye. 5/29 824 ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WAGNER stated it is tho intontion of Mr. Finnerty, Acting Enginoor Smith end hinsolf to koop tho oquipmont busy and thoro aro sovoral littlo problems that can bo straightened out. Ono in particular is soma grading and oiling of 4th Stroot from Sanitarium to Harbison lvonuo. Tho City hes eolloctod a total of p643. but it noods to collect an additional $222.25 to go ahoad with tho oiling. The proporty owners have boon contactod and havo indicatod the inability to pay tho costs et this tino. Howovor, it is holding up the project, and if tho Council would approve sono typo of promissory noto or fora of that type that tho proporty ownors could pay over a curtain poriod, thon we could go ahoad with this particular job. ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said ho did not sou how the City could ontor into that type of contract. VICE MAYOR CURRY said it soots too bad that some solution cannot bo workod out so tho City can procood. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN askod if thoro is any possible way, if tho proporty ownors aro willing to have their stroot improved, to pro•rido a lion against their property to bo paid at a lator deto, oithor on thorr tax statonont or something of that sort? ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said as far es tho installing of tho stroot, thoy can oithor par for it themselves or the City can putt it in, or it can go upon an Assessment Distriet and then boeono a lion against tho proporty. Tho question confronting you now, is a cortain number have agroad upon it and tho othor fow will not, so tho question is whothor tho City puts it in for tho onus that will not pay. ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WAGNER said ho choekod with tho San Diogo Enginoerr,s Office to find out what thoy do about stroot inprovo- nonts, and he was infornod many of thoir stroot inprovononts aro by lssossmont Districts, that tho proporty ownors doclero a willingness to hevo tho stroots inprovod and tho district is sot up. Thoro oust bo 60% of thoso within tho district in 5/29 825 favor of it. Or tho proporty ownors may provido a prtvatq contractor to draw the plans and do tho improvomonts,, but the plans must bo approvod by tho City Englnoor's offico. The only time that tho City of San Diego goos out and actually promotos inprovononts is through tho gas tax funds on major stroots. COUNCILMAN CLRRIGAN said it soonod too bad that with $$1600.00 providod and only $200.00 is lacking that there is not sono way of fixing that street, and Mr. Carrigan said ho wohdorod if tho property ownors who havo put up thoir nonoy would go to thoso who do not havo tho nonoy and tako a porsonal noto. MR. WAGNER said ho assumes that thoy aro willing but thoy aro not financially able at this tlmo and ho will chock furthor. VICE MAYOR CURRY askod tho cost to tho City of an assossmont district ATTORNEY CAMPBELL said ho did not know tho actual cost, but that ho did not boliovo it was vory much. ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WAGNER said ho rocoivod a lottor from Clovoland Smith, stating that ho has boon ongagod in tho properntion of indoxos to tho Ordinancos of National City, and to data ovor 200 hours has boon dovotod, and ho wishos to know if ho is to procood furthor with this work. Mr. Smith stotos that ho shall bo glad to call at tho offico for an intorviow in rogard to this nattor. In tho ovont ho can bo of no furthor sorvico ho wishos to prosont a claim for sorvicos to data. VICE MAYOR CURRY roquostod this mettor bo roforroe to tho Acting Adninistrativo Officor, ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WAGNER stated ho rocoived a lottor from Lloyd M. Hermon roge.rding tho matter of sewage dis- posal, which is County wide. County wide disposal doos not no' County control disposal. Tho growth of San Diego County has 1 unsolved quostions of sanitation. Industrial growth has brougi 5/29 826 tho problem of another kind of wasto, that of industrial waste. At tho prosont moment micro than 60 million gallons of frosh wator that could bo roclaimod for ro-uso is flushod into tho sou ovory 24 hours, It is tho opinion of Mr. Harmon that the County Board of Supervisors should sot into notion a staff of compotont onginoors to nako a study of our noods and to dovolop County wide planning, but not County control disposal. MR. WAGNER statod that tho National City nonbors of tho Motropolitan Sewage Planning Commission aro ongagod in this particular study but the time is not right as yot to proposo any changos or mako any rocomnondations to any of tho City Councils. Tho throe nonbors are Bernard Danko, Wcyno Smith and Mr. Wagnor, and vory shortly they will havo a roport of tho activities for tho Council. ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WLGNER stated that Officer Wobb of the Police Dopt. statod thoy havo sevoral thousand yards of good dirt to givo to tho City in roturn for tho use of a loader and two trucks, Mr. Finnorty said wo havo uso for tho dirt. 1 Tho dirt is at the National City Airport. Officer Webb statod thoy aro trying in the slough aroa to widen tho crook of tho croak and nako a soapieno landing. MR.. WLGNa« asked if the Council would bo intorostod. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN recommended that tho Council teko a look at the area boforo any commitnont is mado. VICE MAYOR CURRY said ho thought tho Council should know tho approximate cost of moving tho dirt hoforo it is eonsidorod. ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WAGNER statod that Mr. Dystor, Mr. Tikkanon and Mr. Donnolloy, reprosontinc tho Boys, Club cane to his offico and requested sono City equipment to do some grading at the Club. It would take about ono to ono and a half days to work tho equipment and tho City could havo tha dirt. 5/29 827 Mr. Tikkanon said ho would ovorsoe tho job. MR. WAGNER said thoro is an Ordinanco also, thoy mentioned, which strtos that on tho loeso of City proporty tho $170.00 sewer connection charge is droppod, but thoy would havo to pay tho ahargo of $75,00 to got tho sowor connoctod. Thoy wondorod if thy Council would give thou this considorction. COUNCILMAN CLRRIGAN said ho did not think tho Council should considor it. Tho Council grantod thou tho additional ground on tho stipulation that they woro to finish the first building first and that has not boon dono. It is tho undorstanding that thoy do not havo too much nonoy loft and it nay not bo ablo to finish without another drive for nonoy. COUNCILMAN CL.'.RKE said he bolievod wo could holp the Boys' Club to tho oxtont of using our oquipnont to novo tho dirt, providing arrangomonts can bo nado with Street Supt. Finnorty. COUNCILMAN CARRIGLN askod whoro tho dirt would bo novod. MR. WAGNER said thcy would use sono of tho dirt undor rsoath the foi adatieN. of the #ow building. This is somoting that would havo to bo discussod with Mr. Finnorty. If It is tho desire of tho Council to havo this laid ovor for ono wook, Mr. Wagner said ho would Como back with tho answer. VICE ML,YC:t CURRY ordorod this laid ovor until tho noxt noting. ACTING LDMINISTR:_TIVE OFFICER WAGNER roportod that a truck of tho Charlos Davis Company bunpod into tho cornor of tho Dog Pound this aftornoon, and ho rocoivod a tolophono call from Mr. Fox, roprosontrtting tho Drvis Company, offoring to repair tho danego. MR. WAGNER askod whothor tho insuranc o company should bo contactod or lot the Davis Company pay tho dana„o. Mr. Wagner said ho talkod to tho Poundmastor and ho said that aftor they ropairod it, it would probably bo in bottor con- dition than it was boforo. COUNCILMAN HART said ho talkod with tho Poundmastor and ho stctod that a dogs life is about 5/29 828 throo days at thoir prosont locatloh, and as soon as possiblo the Dog Pound should bo novod to another location. MR. WAGNER said that tho Planning Commission approvod plans for a new Dog Pound and it was laid ovor until after tho now fiscal year. COMMUNICLTION FROM C. L. KLTHOL was road, which statod ho was askod if it would bo agrooablo with him to deed ten foot from his proporty on Harbison Lvonuo, north of Division Stroot. This lettor is to authorizo tho doodinG of said ton foot. Mr. Kathol sold ho will also speak to the contractors who aro building homos on tho proporty on Herbison Avonuo north of Division Stroot and havo thou tako care of thoir portion. Mr. Kathol statod in regard to tho approval of curbing installod on said &tract, ho would liko to havo said approval put in tho minutos of this mooting, if it so pleases tho Council.

It hos boon the City's policy on subdivisions rocontly to install tho sowors whoro tho sowor sorvico chargo of $,170.00 for connoction 1s sufficient to dofray tho cost of construction. This subdivision adjoins anothor ono known as Hilltop Park, and prolininary study indicates tho cost will bo approxlmatoly $$32,000.00 to sorvo tho two subdivisions. Tho roimbursomont may bo oxpoctod to bo $33,490.00 whon all lots havo paid the regular sorvico chargo. It appoars that the ultimate roinbursor_cnt will be in excess of the construction 829 cost, and that service to tho subdivision is justlfiablo. If it is tho intention of tho Council to procood with tho detailed design and construction of this sowor, it is suggostod that a lottor bo writton to tho subdividor informing him of such in- tontion in order that ho may conploto arrangononts to start construction of housos. COUNCILMAN CLARKE askod how soon thoy want to start construction. MR. DOWERS said thoy just went to know if thoy will hove tho sowors nado availnblo.

Upon request from the householder, a fireman will inspect and assist in chocking tho common firo hazards in a hone. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN said ho would recommond that a copy of this lottor bo sent to the National City Nows. VICE MAYOR CURRY said tho Council will cooporn_to. ACTING ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER WAGNrR said Mr. Gauze cf tho Rocroation Commission askod if tho Council would considor an oxpondituro to novo tho existing fonco at tho swimming pool and lay a concroto slab ovor tho walk aroa to provide a sun dock for the swimmors.

ANDREW GAUZE was prosont and stated there is no room for tho chilcron to sun batho and that by putting tho sleb on tho walk, would givo more room in tho pool for the bathers, Aftor thoy have boon in tho pool a short time thoy like to lie around in the sun. Tho oxpondituro would not bo moro than 0500.00 and in his opinion, it would bo vory worth whilo, in fact it is a necessity. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN asked if it was considerod in tho budget of tho Rocroation Commission for tho noxt fiscal yoar. MR. GAUZE said it was not figured in, it is sonothing that just cane up, and since it was realizod that thoro could not bo anothor swimming pool this appoarod to bo the noxt bost thing that could bo done.
