FETITICN OF CITY EMPLOYEES for 40 hour week was presented,, COUNCILMAN HART said that it was his understanding that if the 40 hour week was adopted that it would not necessarily mean any additional help, end asked City Manager Sullivan if that was true. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN stated that she has 10/3 a 185 • gone over it with each department carefully and she thought it would be very difficult in the police Department without having additionel help. in the Fire Dera rtment we heve a problem of allowing firemen time off because of the differ- ent kind of schedule. The other departments could, if the employees sew fit to adjust themselves to some different working arrangement, probably work'e 40 hour week without edditilnal help. CCUNCILMAN HART said it was his suggestion thet this be laid over and studied and thet the actuel cost of putting it into effect be broucht back to the Council so that we will have something to work on. CCUNCILMAN CURRY stated that the City Council agreed on the 40 hour week, it was a matter of the City Manager bringing in a schedule show- ing the cost and additionel men necessary, end we have not received it up to this time. COUNCILMAN CARZIGAN stated that that was the old Council, not this one. CCUNCILMAN CURRY said it was the City Council et that time. COUNCILMAN CLGRKE said he received a communication which stated that the City Council of National City has previously passed by majority vote a resolution to establish a 40 hour work week for the civil employees of Netionel City, which resolution was given wide publicity in the National City News.

ATTCRNEY WARNER stated that when this matter was raised in January of this year, there was a motion made that the employees be put on a 40 hour week, which was seconded and passed. However, that was not the proper way to proceed, it has to go to the Civil Service Commission and then come beck to the Council with a recommendation. 10/3 • 188 It went to the Civil Service Commission, and Mr. Warner stated that as far as he knows they have not come up with e recommendation as yet, C1TY MANAGER SULLIVAN said that the Civil Service Commission wrote a letter stating that they had a hearing on the 40 hour week but that they felt that it was a budget utter rather than a Civil Service matter and therefore did not make any recommendation. The Council referred this back to the Civil Service Commission for the second time. Moved by Clarke, seconded by Bert, that the Civil Service Commission furnish the Council with the details concerning the 40 hour week. Carried, all Council- men present voting aye.

CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN stated that we have received a letter from the sales manager of Saunders and Saunders concerning en easement for a culvert in Rancho Hills No. 2 addressed to the City Council. The City Qnglneer hes made a study of the request and has recommended that it not be granted be- cause this is an easement which the City obtained from the original subdivider for a culvert over a lot et the inter- section of Earle Drive and Herbison Avenue. The city Engineer recommends that if anything be done that the easement be increased and not dispensed with, and the City Engineer has informed Mrs. Sullivan that the contractors think that they have found some other possible solution, 10/3 192 end since the Engineer hes recommended that the easement not be granted, Mrs. Sullivan seid she would recomtend that we reply to the letter asking for a cancellation of the ee®anent on this lot of 10 feet wide and 35 feet long in Lot 43 of Rancho Hills No. 2.

CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN stated that last night et the request of the Paradise Hills Civic Assn. she met with a committee of the Assn. in Paradise Hills at which the Asst. Menerer, Mr. Blum, from San Diego was in attendance. The Assn. had a number of questions they wanted to esk eech of the Managers and the result of the discussion was that the Community group in Paradise Hills decided to ask the City Council of San Diego for an informal conference in order that they might find out whether the City Council of San Diego ere willing to permit en election in the event thet they had a petition from Peredise Hills to withdraw from the city of San Diego. CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN said there are two methods in which Paredise Hills could petition to annex to Nrtional City, the one would require a City wide petition of the city of San Diego and would require a City wide, election, which would be rather difficult for a small group of people. The other method is under the section of the Code having to do with en adjacent City whereby the one that wishes to withdraw from one City and join another may have en election celled, providing four -fifths of each of the two Councils ere in agreement. The Paradise Hills Civic group felt that this Council would be willing to 10/3 193 permit them to come in end they concluded that they should have eh informal discussion with -the Council of San Diego. M2S. SULLIVAN stated that, they will probably have the conference as soon es, Mayor Knox hes returned to the City. COUNCILMAN CLARKF,,said he would be willing to go on record,, and would' like to see one hundred percent of the Councilmen.vote in favor. Moved' by Carrigan, seconded by Clarke, thpt a, letter be written stating,,that if the residents of Paradise Hills can resolve their difficulties with the City of San Diego, and if they did decide to come in to National City, that the City Council of National City would welcome them es a new annexation. COUNCILMAN CURRY saSd he would like to have the Attorney's-opinion as to se'rvtng that area with water. At the preeent'time they ere served, by San Diego. would they -carry, their water rights, or would Sweetwater Water Company or National City. ATTCRNRY WARNER stated that Mrs. Sullivan has gone over this matter with the 'Water Company and would be able to give an answer. CITY MANLORR SULLIVAN stated that the matter of their rights to the Colorado River Water would be the same, whether they were in Son Diego or National City. As to the Otey rights a negotiation would have to be carried on between the California Water & Telephone Company and the City of San Diego. They are currently engaged in a negotiation because of a recent suit about San Diego serving people outside the cooperate limits, and the California Water & Telephone Company happen to serve a small area that subsequently annexed to the City of San Diego. They are trying to resolve now to get out 194 of each others territory. The only precedent, Mrs. Sullivan said that she knew about on the Ctay rights is thet Coronado withdrew from the city of San Diego end retained their Otay righte. However, in the Ctay pipe- line the Colorado River Water is pumping South to Otey so that Paradise Hills is actually being served Colorado River Meter. The Committee -lest night asked Mr. Blum his opinion on their water and he thought it was not impossible even under their recent court suit for the City of San Diego to continue to serve them with water 1f there was no other way in the event that they did withdraw from the City because of their Otay rights, however, he thought it was more desirable If they should withdraw from the City of San Diego that they be served by the California Water & Telephone Company, es a part of National City, but he did not think there would be any great legal difficulty involved. Motion carried, by the following vote to•wit: byes: Carrigan, Clarke, Curry, Hart, Matthews. Nays: None, CITY MANAGER SULLIVAN stated that in regard to the Loyalty Oath Law, that each of the City Council had received e copy and the City Clerk hes ordered sufficient number of copies for the employees and such citizens who may become a part of the Disaster Council and Civilian Defense. CITY MANAG'R SULLIVAN stated that there have been a number of requests from the peoale on Mariposa Avenue to become a pert of National City, end because it is under the same procedure involved as Paradise Hills, both the City Attorney and City Manager feel that every precaution 10/3 195 should be taken so that it be done carefully. The Right - of -Tay Engineer hes obtained the ownerships of record in the area and is in process of dis:ussing with etch one of the property owners separately whether they want to with- drew from San Diego and come into National City. We have been asked several times for a petition, but the petition must describe the exact area so they are trying to find out how far East from Marpioae the people wish to annex and then that can be put into one petition end presented to the City Council of National City and the City Council of San Diego. The other area is one where we have had a number of property owners who have asked for a petition to be processed South of 30th Street, and likewise the owner- ships are being put on a map so that we can determine en area in order that letters can be sent to make certain that they want to be annexed. 01DINANCE N0. , en ordinance disapproving the annexation to National City of "Sweetwater Fields" was presented for the second and final reading.
