HAROLD LLOYD, 515 Palm Avenue, was present, and asked the Council to reconsider the charges made on sewer connections to his property on Palm Avenue. Mr. Lloyd stated that originally the amount was S170.00 and at that time he was not in the po- sition to hook up; then the charge was increased to 3340,00; and today he found that there had been a charge of S680.00 for his connections. Mr. Lloyd said he felt that reconsideration should be given. ENGINEER McCLURE said that Mr. Lloyd's prop- erty is 93 feet wide, extends a full block, has a private road from Palm Avenue to "Q" Avenue, The property is divided into two pieces consisting of eleven houses. ten rentals and Mr. Lloyd's home. Mr. McClure stated that it was the opinion of the Sewer Committee that it could be easily divided into four pieces 46e feet wide and one-half block deep, and for that reason Mr. Lloyd should be assessed for four sewer charges. Mr. Lloyd stated that the property could never be satisfactor- ily divided into four portions; the best is two, four or pos- sibly six houses facing PQ" and possibly 5 facing Palm; and no reason for four charges on that basis. COUNCILMAN.MATTHEWS asked Mr. Lloyd if he was having any trouble now that he had to hook up right away and Mr, Lloyd stated "yes". COUNCILMAN CURRY asked if the City Engineer had gone over the property thoroughly. Mayor Fritz stated that not only had the Engineer been over it but the entire Sewer Committee; and the thing considered was the eleven houses for four sewer charges. If there were different owners for each house each one would be charged S170.00. Mr. Lloyd may sell out and some other person 9/6 66 would subdivide it, and it would be possible to do so. The Committee felt the charge was equitable. MAYOR FRITZ announced that it was 8:00 P.M. o'clock and the time for opening of bide on Lighting District #1.

HARVEY was present and stated that if the Charter is accepted, there 19 one point that e, number of the people do not like; namely this, the appointment 9/6 77 of two Councilmen by the Council, He said that if the people voted for the charter in November and it passes the Legisla- ture, it would go into effect sometime in January making it necessary to appoint two Councilmen for approximately two months instead of the Councilmen being elected by the people. Mr. Harvey said that at the last meeting of the Citizens Com- mittee they voted against this; they wanted the charter, if passed, to become effective on the second Tuesday in April. COUNCILMAN ADAMS stated that officially we have not been noti- fied by the committee. Mr. Adams said that the Charter was turned over to this committee and when they came back with their recommendations the Council accepted them in good faith.

ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER DICKSON said that we have enough copies of the charter along with a letter to be mailed to every householder in National City. Mr. Dickson said even if we had a year to present this to the people it would not make very much difference, it is the confidence the people have in the Council and in the Committee that counts. COUNCILMAN MATTHEWS said that if we do not give the pople time enough to study the Charter it may be voted down. COUNCILMAN ADAMS said it would 9/6 78 be the first time National City has home rule. The charter requires political salesmanship. RESOLUTION NO. 5049 was rend, adopting the proposed charter of the City of National City.
