INTRODUCTION OF GUEST Mayor Hamilton introduced Mr. Albert Hooper,
COMMISSIONER Chairman of the Environmental Control
Commission, as guest commissioner for
this meeting. The audience joined Mr.
Hooper in wishing the Mayor a "Happy
Birthday."
ORAL CO~qUNICATIONS Mayor ltamilton stated he was asked by a
resident for permission to speak at this
time.
Clarence Knight Mr. Knight spoke in support of having "Oral
117 Jefferson Avenue Communications" at the beginning of the
meeting so that the senior citizens -- those
who are not physically able to sit through
long meetings -- and students who have a
curfew can be given the opportunity to
speak to the Council.
PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION The Environmental Control Commission has
OF BOTTLE ORDINANCE recommended an ordinance relating to the
problems of solid waste disposal by regu-
lating retail stores in the distribution
of carbonated beverages in glass containers.
The ordinance stipulates that all dealers
shall, from and after November 1, 1972,
display a quantity of each brand of bever-
ages for sale in non-disposable returnable
glass containers and a sign, no smaller
than 8-1/2" by 11" stating the economic
advantages of buying returnable bottles.
Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised,
the public hearing was opened.
Fred Bradshaw Mr. Bradshaw stated he is representing the
7455 Orien Seven-Eleven Stores and is speaking in
La Mesa opposition to the ordinance. He felt
the problem was one of educating the public
and declared that the members of the
retail food and beverage industry
have donated $1,000 to purchase kits and
workbooks for students which explain the
total ecology picture. Mr. Bradshaw has
met with school officials to introduce this
program in the various schools and the
response of the officials has been very
good.
Jay Pugh ~lr. Pugh commented that the merchants
Garden Farms Market would have to comply with the ordinance
373 'E' Street or be penalized. He felt the proposed
ordinance would, in no way, solve the
problem as it is the buying public that
demands the products the merchants must
stock. Mr. Pugh reported on a recycling
plant soon to be in operation in Escondido
and read an article relating to a "Pitch-In"
program being initiated nationally to cope
with the non-returnable bottles.
Returnable beer bottles are one of the main
problems, as previously explained by Mr.
Bradshaw. ~lr. Pugh questioned the wording
of the ordinance as to the amount of re-
turnables that must be stocked on the
shelves, along with the non-returnable
beverages. The ordinance is vague in
asking the merchants to stock and display
merchandise "as reasonably.possibles..'f
Answering questions fr°m the Council, Mr. Pugh
de¢lar~&~hat the Grocers' Association
did not provide any input into this or-
dinance.
K. Niek Slijk Mr. Slijk questioned how the proposed
Chamber of Commerce ordinance would be implemented and the
cost of doing so.
Acting City Attorney Blick indicated
it would be done by voluntary observance,
the same as with other ordinances in the
City.
City Manager Thomson agreed, adding that
his office enforces the ordinances, and
the Oily Attorney's office prosecutes
the violators.
Mr. Slijk declared the ordinance was very
weak, and referred to the voluntary infor-
mation complaints as a "select type of law
enforcement which is highly unconstitutional
and illegal," or an information type
basis which is the start of a police state.
Letter from Carl Pope City Clerk Fulasz read a letter into the
California Retail Liquor records from Mr. Pope in which he stated
Dealers Association his opposition to the ordinance, noting
that educational programs were the only
positive solution to the problem. )Ir.
Pope noted the funds granted by State and
Federal agencies to convert solid waste
into reusable products. He added that to
require the merchants to stock beverages
in containers that will not move promptly
on their shelves will inflict an economic
loss upon them.
Kathryn Moore Mrs. Moore quoted a comment made by her
1134 Tobias Street son "By the world date 2000, this world
South Bay Citizens will self-destruct."
Planning Committee
Public hearing closed There being no further comments, either
for or against, the hearing was declared
closed.
Bruce Hill, Manager Mr. Hill, in answer to the Mayor's query,
Coast Distributors stated that all beer bottles and cans
are dated. The life of a can or bottle
of beer is ninety days, and the manufac-
turer (speaking of Anhouser-Busch) re-
places the merchandise with the same type
of product every ninety days. Beer is
not made in returnable bottles, except
for the "long-necks" which are sold in
cases.
Mr. Hooper commented that beer sold in
quart bottles is made in returnable
bottles.
Council discussion Councilman Hobel stated he could not
support the penalty clause - closing the
store down for five days - which would
lead to extreme economic hardship, not
only for the merchants, but for the
store employees as well. He discussed
Section 35.503 relating to the alcoholic
carbonated beverages. Based on the
testimony given, this entire section should
be eliminated, because the merchants are
dealing solely with non-returnables.
Mayor Hamilton suggested the Section in-
clude the words ,,..~maintain in stock and
on display those goods packaged for retail
outlets in returnable bottles."
Motion not to enact ordinance It was moved by Councilman }~de and seconded
by Mayor Hamilton that the ordinance not
be enacted.
Councilman Hyde commented that the ordinance
as presently written, is unacceptable,
too weak, and there is no justification
for putting this type of legislation on
the books.

poses of retail package sale."

PRECISE PLAN REQUIREMENT FOR reported that the precise plan approved
MASONRY WALL AT CHULA VISTA for the property required the installa-
SQUARE, 542 BROADWAY tion of a retaining wall along the west
and south property lines adjacent to the
residential areas.
Since underground structures along these
property lines make the construction of
a masonry wail impractical for maintenance
purposes, it is recommended that a wooden
fence interspersed with masonry pilasters
be installed.
Modification of wail approved It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman Hobel and unanimously
carried that approval be given to the
construction of a wooden fence with
masonry pilasters instead of a solid
masonry wall for the Chula Vista Square,
542 Broadway.

is to be brought back to the City Council
in the near future.
BICYCLE PROBLEMS Councilman Scott noted some citizens'
complaints he received regarding the
enforcement of traffic laws for bicylists,
unlicensed bicycles, bicycles at night,
and riding in the wrong direction.
Councilman Scott felt there should be
enforcement of these laws against
violators . and suggested consideration
of a teen-age jury, similar to the one in
San Diego.
MOTORCYCLE NOISE It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman Hobel and unanimously
carried that Assemblyman Deddeh be
notified to have the law changed so that
something can be done by municipalities
concerning this problem and that he be
asked to see about the feasibility of
such legislation.
Councilman Hobel commented on the proposed
legislation whereby wearing helmets would
be mandatory. This was passed through the
legislation, but never got out of a
Senate committee. Councilman Hobel asked
that this be sent to Assemblyman Deddeh,
also, to re-enact this legislation.
DOGS RUNNING LOOSE Councilman Scott stated he has received
numerous complaints concerning dogs running
loose, especially at night.

the Animal Control Officer does not work
in the evenings. In many cases, the

the Police Chief to review this problem
and report back to the Council.
LOCATION FOR SHIPYARD Councilman Hobel referred to a newscast
which reported that the Port Commissioners
directed their staff to talk to the con-
sultants regarding a location for National
Steel and Shipbuilding. Councilman Hobel
questioned whether this would entail more
expenditures on the Bayfront Study.
Acting Director of Planning Williams stated
that he attended the meeting and the Port
District adopted Option A, reserving
their 26 acres at the end of the 100
acres that has been in question for some
time, for marine-oriented use. They
have given no direction to the consultants
to do further planning in that area.
SPORTS ARENA Councilman Hyde noted the news items indi-
cating that Dr. Leonard Bloom would be
building a sports arena in the County that
might logically be annexed to the City.
These news articles stated that Dr.
Bloom's plans had the approval of this
Council. Councilman Hyde wanted it made
clear that this Council has never consi-
dered Dr. Bloom's proposal in this regard.
SIGNAL LIGHT AT NACION AND 'L' Councilman Egdahl discussed the traffic
light at this intersection, stating it
creates a great deal of confusion. There is
no indication to the motorist that when he
has a green light the on-coming traffic has
a red light and he may proceed with a left
turn.
It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman Egdahl and unanimously car-
ried that the suggestion of Councilman
Egdahl for the installation of a sign
stating that it is a three-way stop or an
arrow signal so that the motorist will know
he can proceed with a left turn be
referred to staff.
ENVIRONMENT PRESERVATION Councilman Egdahl referred to the news-
paper article reporting on the meeting of
the Secretary of the Interior with the
Port Commissioners. The Secretary of the
Interior stated he would like to see the
Port Commissioners Fet aside areas for
preserving the environment. The Port
District chairman stated he would not
be willing to do this, and further stated
he is also speaking for the other comis-
sioners.
Motion for instructions to Port It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and
Commissioner seconded by Councilman Hyde that the
Council instruct the City's Port Commis-
sioner to encourage the Port Commissioners
to take a specific stand in terms of
making commitments for environmental
preservation, as requested by the Secretary
of the Interior.
Council Discussion Mayor Hamilton indicated he would want to
get more information on this matter before
he can support the motion. He felt the
Secretary of Interior should address this
Council on the matter.
Motion changed Councilman Egdahl changed the motion to
state that the Council request the Port
Commissioner to give a report on what
the Secretary of the Interior requested
and what the chairman of the Port District
r~onded, and what he alleged to be the
response of the other Port Commissioners.
Councilman Hyde asked that Mr. Campbell,
the Port Commissioner, make this part of his
monthly report to the Council.

ORAL CO~UNICATIONS
Hubert Christenson Mr. Christenson circulated plans regarding
696 Woodlawn - the 'J' Street widening, in which he is
~J' Street widening requesting that the center divider
cross Colorado Avenue, eliminating having
four corners at an intersection for ~hich
the Council will receive four requests
for service stations.
Another problem on this street is parking.
Mr. Christenson suggested having all the
curbs painted red along 'J' Street for
one-quarter of a mile, which would eliminate
parking and there would be no need for
widening the street. The present plans
call for elimination of on-street parking
on portions of this street; however, there
are numerous residences along Oaklawn and
Woodlawn that have no sideyard or front
yard and need this on-street parking.
Mr. Christenson is proposing that rather
than having a 16-foot or 18-foot median
with two lanes on each side, that eight
feet of parking be set aside on each
side, with ten feet of right-of-way
for traffic with an 8-foot or less center
divider.

indicated the proje¢~ is under contract,
the decisions have been made and
there is no way now that pickets can
be constructed.
