It hes never bean tho practice in the City to pay any cash payments to the Sen Diego County Teter Authority out of general funds, but rather to permit the tax to be levied. Lest year the Water l=thnrit, tax was ten cents per one hundred dollars. M^. Bu,k!-clder encicipetee It will be about the sage this yeaz. riTY M/N'C'sit SLLLIVLN stetoe that since the Council will be cc,n3'aerts the adoption of the final budget and 8/1 1 48 Betting the tax rate et the next meeting, it is likely that they will feel they had better decide whether the Council wishes to adopt the policy of paying a amount Of money out of the general fund for the San Diego County Water Authority, in lieu of e tax for it when the Council reviews finally the tax rate. MRS. SULLIVAN stated that it would be her recommendation that this be held over but that the Council should be considering whether they went to pay,epy of the money out of the general fund or permit it to go completely tc tax on the Water Authority. No other member of the Water Authority have made any cash payments to the Water Authority, however, other cities have made cash payments, es we have out of general funds to the Metropolitan Water District. The Metropolitan Water District check bat year was thirty-four cents per hundred and we paid $21,980.20 out of general fund and the reat was levied es a seventeen cent tax. The Water Authority plans to have the same approximately ten cents tax, which would be in round numbers about $11,000.00.

It could be used for such ectivities as would not interfere with the channel, end we doubtless will have to acquire e portion of it sometime. MRS. SULLIVAN thought this seemed to be somewhat of a reasonable offer and should be given serious consideration. ATTORNEY WARNER stated that as he understands it, the executor will not be appointed until this Friday which will be the 4th and then the property will be Advertised end the date for the bids will be put up to a Friday, e regular probate day, and the highest bidder wilt go up for epprovel.of the sale* et which time eny person in the audience has the right to raise the bid by ten percent or more, ATTORNEY WARNER stated there is no hurry as far as the bid is concerned, it wen the desire of CITY MANGfiER SULLIVAN to bring it to your attention so that you can consider it before the next meeting.

There is also an International Truck that would be useful for hauling, which we might bid for 9485.11. Those are the only four articles in a very long list that the Department Heads who reviewed therr thought would be useful. MRS. SULLIVLN said she would like to know whether ,you believe it advisable to bid on any of this surplus equipment.

Carried, ell Councilmen present voting eye. MAYOR MATTHBWS stated that he thought the City should consider the possibility of purchasing en ambulance. The only ear that is available for carrying any injured person to the hospital is the little Ford Police car and there Is just space enough for one stretcher, 1f more than one rorson is injured they must be hauled in a police car, and it is possible that in case of a death of someone being 8/1 50 taken in a police car, the City might be sued. Mayor Matthews said he thought we should have more adequate facilities, either by the purchase of an ambulance or contracting with an ambulance firm so that our police officers will not have to take the risk of seriously in- jurying anyone by having to load them in the police cars and hauling them to a hospital. COUNCILMAN CARRIGAN stated that he understands the City of gen Diego is now trying to get out from under their ambulance service performed by the Police Department.

CLARKR stated it was requested that each Mayor should get his Council to approve the appointment of Mr. Campion as the Coordinator. Due to the fact that it is going to be a mutual aid program, it was the ccncensus of opinion et the meeting of the Mayors end the Hoard of Supervisors there should be somebody who can contact a key man in each community in this Disaster Plan, and they feel that every community should be given an opportunity to vote on the / appointment of Mr. Campion. MAYOR MW'TTHEWS said he thought it might be necessary for this Council to endorse his vote for Mr. Campion.
