PRESENTATION BY CABRILLO Miss Deborah Ann Mitchell, Cabrillo Festival

RESOLUTION DECLARING to the City Council, declaring the week of
CABRILLO FESTIVAL WEEK September 25 through October 1, 1972, as
Cabrillo Festival Week throughout California.
PRESENTATION BY BUILDING Mr. Myron J. Dalseth, 114 Guava Avenue, re-
CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION presenting the Building Contractors Associa-
REGARDING POLICY STATEMENT tion, discussed the Association's planning
ON L~aND USE PLANNING FOR policy for San Diego County. He stated
SAN DIEGO COUNTY that citizens should have the opportunity
to develop their skills to their full
potential, and that community resources
should be marshaled to provide an educa-
tional system for all citizens to develop
their skills, and a program be initiated
by public and private interests to assure
a continued expansion of job opportunities.
PRESENTATION BY SUPERVISOR Mr. Jack Walsh discussed the written commu-
JACK WALSH nication received by the Council from Harry
F. Scheidle, Chairman, Board of Supervisors,
concerning the Comprehensive Planning
Organization. He spoke on the three areas
of concern: (1) that the County should
not have a subordinate role to any other
member -- its weighted vote should not be
less than any one city; (2) the Comprehen-
sive Planning Organization should be recog-
nized as an "interim" agency and an in-depth
two-year study should be made; (3) the
Comprehensive Planning Organization costs
should not be identified with population
but rather be allocated in proportion to
new revenues coming to regional agencies
under Senate Bill 325.
(Councilman Egdahl arrived at this time -
7:30 p.m.)
Council discussion Council discussion followed as to the pro-
posals made by the Board of Supervisors.
Councilman Scott commented that it was
Supervisor Scheidle who, two to three years
ago, suggested the weighted formula, lb said~.~r.
Scheidle also belatedly stated that he
felt the thirteen cities could not get
together and, therefore, was not too con-
cerned. Councilman Hobel commented that
the Policy Committee of CPO was concerned
about the fact that the Supervisors come
out with a new plan nearly every week and,
in the last several meetings of CPO, the
Supervisors have not even made an appear-
Third level of government Mayor Hamilton remarked that the Supervisors
have always been against a third level of
government, and here they are tying CPO to
tax money, which in essence is making them
a third level of government.
Councilman Hobel expressed the concern that
because of all this controversy, the State
will look at this situation with the end
product being that the legislative bill
will never come to pass.
Motion to approve in concept It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and
seconded by Councilman Hyde that this
Council encourage the County to become
part of the joint powers agreement, and
the Council register its willingness to
endorse, in concept, this two-year study.
Council discussion Councilman Scott expressed his concern
that the motion reflects CPO as being an
"interim agency" and the cities are trying
to make it a permanent agency. He asked
if they will have to wait now for two
years to make this a permanent body.
Motion amended Councilman Egdahl amended his motion to
add that it is understood that it, in no
way, impairs the legislative processes that
would make CPO a permanent body. Councilman
Hyde agreed to the amendment.
Motion fails The motion failed by the following vote,
to-wit:
Ayes: Councilmen Hyde, Egdahl
NOES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hamilton
Absent: None
Motion to invite County It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
to join CPO by Mayor Hamilton and unanimously carried
that the City Council invite the County
to join with the thirteen cities in CPO,
feeling they are an important segment in
the County and would appreciate their par-
ticipation in CPO.
Request for information Mayor Hamilton asked that the comments made
by Mayor Wilson to the Legislative Committee
be made available to the Council. He felt
that the statements made by Mayor Wilson
did not indicate that CPO could not become
a State Legislative body. Mayor Hamilton
added that he would like to receive the
exact wording on this and that of
Supervisor Boney. This information is to
be made available to the Council for the
next meeting.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Richard Kau Mr. Kau extended the Chamber's certificate
President, Chamber of Commerce of award to Mr. Bruce Warren for the fine
services he made to the City of Chula Vista
and wished him well in his new endeavor.
Randolph West Mr. West stated that it has come to his
271 Eucalyptus Court attention that there is a possibility of
having Item #12 postponed (decision of
Whispering Trees lighting), and he would
like to speak on this.
Mayor Hamilton indicated that Mr. West
should speak on that item when it comes
before the Council.
Joyce Marasso Mrs. Marasso stated she is the mother of
1629 Dartmouth Street Mark Marasso whose request to keep his
hawk was before the Council at the last
meeting. The decision made by the Council
was to enforce the ordinance which stated
that keeping the hawk was illegal. Mrs.
Marasso explained how the bird was kept
and cared for. She said she has a valid
falconry license from the State Fish
and Game Department of the State of
California.
City Attorney Lindberg explained that the
report of the staff and Council action in
no way was indicative of a lack of respect
for the desire of her son to pursue legal
recourses. The question was whether the
ordinance should be changed, and the
decision of the Council was that it should
not.
Mark Marasso Mr. Marasso presented the Council with
1629 Dartmouth Street a petition containing 802 signatures
obtained from neighbors and students
supporting his request to keep his hawk.
Motion to refer to It was moved by Councilman Hobel and seconded
staff for information by Councilman Egdahl that the staff and
the City Attorney review the County ordi-
nance regarding this matter, since there
is so much County are% especially around
the property where this hawk is being
kept. The County ordinance is then to
be evaluated against this City's ordinance,
and see if any reconsideration can be
given in this matter.
Mayor Hamilton's comments Mayor Hamilton commented that the State
Department of Fish and Came should be in-
formed that issuing falconry licenses in
the City of Chula Vista is a violation
of the City ordinance.
Motion amended Councilman Hobel amended his motion to
include the review of the rationale as
to why this City prohibits the keeping
of hawks, and whether this was still a
valid determination. The amendment was
seconded by Councilman Hyde and the motion
and amendment carried unanimously.
Clint Mathews Mr. Mathews stated he is representing
4305 Vista Coronado Drive the Visitors and Convention Bureau. He
declared that on the 13th of this month,
- 3 -
the Bureau issued a check to the Visitors
and Convention Center in San Diego for
the amount of $1,221.90, and the Bureau
is now requesting a matching fund of
$1,221.90, under the terms of the old
contract with the City.
Motion to refer to staff It was moved by Councilman Scott and
seconded by Councilman Hyde that this
request be referred to the staff with
a report back to the Council.
City Attorney Lindberg explained that a
resolution would have to be brought back
at the next meeting approving the release
of the funds which are presently frozen.
Council discussion Council discussion ensued as to the report
to be made by staff. Councilman EgdM~l
noted that the action of the Council at
the last meeting was that the amount
loaned to the Bureau was to be the last
expenditure until their situation was
claared up. This is now a request for
additional funds, and he would request
the staff to analyze this in their report.
Motion withdrawn Councilman Scott withdrew his motion and
Councilman Hyde withdrew the second.
Councilman Scott indicated this was a
policy matter -- the question was
whether the Council should release
an additional $1,200 to the organization;
at this time he would be reluctant to
do so.
No action taken The Council further discussed the re-
quest for funds and took no action.
City maps Mr. Mathews declared that the Bureau
was out of City maps, and they would
appreciate any help the City could give
th~m on this.
Kathryn Moore Mrs. Moore, speaking on behalf of the
1134 Tobias Drive South Bay Citizens Planning Committee,
discussed Impact Zoning. A seminar will
be held at the Sheraton Harbor Island
Hotel on October 26 and 27, 1972 by
McGraw-Hill. She urged the Council to
send one representative from the Planning
Department, one from the Planning Commis-
sion and one from the City Council to
attend this seminar.
Esther Lassman Mrs. Lassman questioned the Council about
Rogan Road its action taken in rescinding the reso-
lution which declared a wall at the
Whispering Trees Apartments a public
nuisance.
City Attorney Lindberg explained that
the action of the Council was to rescind
the resolution since the situation was
eliminated -- in no way did the resolu-
tion make any judgment as to the public
nuisance which existed at the time they
adopted the original resolution.

K. Niek Slijk Mr. Slijk invited the Council to a meeting
Chamber of Commerce which will be held by the Chamber on
Wednesday, September 27, 1972, to which
all the businessmen on ~hird Avenue have
been invited. The purpose of the meeting
is to discuss the proposal to go to
parallel parking on Third Avenue.

stated he was called last week on this.
He informed Mr. Slijk that he could not
attend, nor the could the T~affic Engineer,
but his assistant would attend along
with the TOPICS consultant, Mr. Krier.
Mayor Hamilton felt the Safety Commission
should attend this meeting. He commented
that the Council wanted to get all this
information out to the businessmen first,
so that proper response could be made
to their questions, rather than having
the businessmen obtain"hearsa~'information.
Councilman Scott spoke of the lack of
communication between the Chamber of
Commerce and the City Council, especially
where input is being requested and
attendance at Chamber meetings.

Slijk presented the City Clerk with an
agenda of this conference.

a Christmas Parade this year. Mr. Jack
Harper has been made chairman. The
only thing the Downtown Association and

is the Christmas lights.

proposed sign ordinance is ready and
the Council is welcome to review this.
^ final report will be submitted to the
Council within sixty days.

ried that the City Manager's recommenda-

more effective State legislation.
Motion to accept report It was moved by Councilman Scott,
seconded by Councilman Hyde and unani-

DECISION ON ACTION TO BE TAKEN This matter was continued from the meeting

TREES BONITA would be present to take action.
Postponement requested It was noted that the Council received a
lettez frmn Mr. Peter Shenas, Attorney
for Mr. Frank Ferreira, requesting a
further postponement. Mr. Shenas stated
that his client has undergone surgery
and will be confined to bed for a
period of approximately two months.
City Attorney Lindberg discussed the issue
stating the matter is closed and no fur-
ther testimony on the matter should be
taken. He could see no reason for the
Council to grant the request for post-
ponement.
In answer to the Mayor's query, Mr.
Lindberg remarked that Mr. Ferreira
stated, through his attorney, that he
would make no voluntary changes to the
lighting on his premises, as requested
by this Council.
Motion to take action It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded
by Councilman Hobel and unanimously
carried that the City Council make a
decision on this matter tonight.
Councilman Hyde abstained because he
was not present at the hearing, nor did
he make the field trip to view the
lighting situation.
City Attorney's comments City Attorney Lindberg explained the
determination of a public nuisance,
stating it would have to adversely
affect "more than one party." If the
Council determines that there is a
public nuisance at the Whispering Trees
Apartments, it would be the obligation
of his office to file with the Court a
procedure to abate that nuisance. The
Court would then have to evaluate whether
or not a nuisance does exist. The
determination of this Council would be
to initiate that action.
Motion to file It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and
seconded by Councilman Scott that the
Council file the action.
Randolph West Mr. West discussed his original complaint
271 Eucalyptus Court to the City Attorney in April, 1971, and
the amount of time it has taken for the
City to determine action in this case.
He read excerpts from the lighting
ordinance, declaring that the situation
at the Whispering Trees was a direct
violation of the ordinance and requested
that the Council take the necessary
action to abate that nuisance.
Esther Lassman Mrs. Lassman commented that she lives in
Rogan Road the vicinity of this lighting situation.
She referred to her call to the City
Attorney's office wherein he told her
that i: would t~ke more than one party
to be affected to have the Council
declare the situation a public nuisance.
For this reason~ the petition presented
to the Council containing 59 signatures
was circulated.
Bill McMurtry Mr. MeMurtry compared the lights with
255 Rogan Road those on the Coronado Bridge, stating
that these gas vapor lights should not
be used in residential areas.
Motion fails The motion to file the complaint failed by
the following vote, to-wit:
Ayes: Councilmen Scott, Egdahl
NOES: Councilmen Hobel, Hamilton
Absent: None
Abstain: Councilman Hyde
Council discussion Council discussion followed concerning
the type of lights used, the luminous
effect, and the problem of having the
apartments built so close to the homes.
Councilman Scott noted that Councilman
Hyde abstained because he did not view
the lights, and suggested the matter be
continued until Councilman ~de could
visit this site; in this way, a full
vote of the Council could be made.
Mayor Hamilton requested the City Clerk
to make the tape of the meeting available
to Councilm~n Hyde.
Motion to continue It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded
for one week by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried
that this matter be continued for one week
for the express purpose of viewing the
lights to reestablish the facts.
Motion for no further It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded
testimony by Councilman Scott and unanimously carried
that no additional testimony be taken
from the floor when this matter again
comes before the Council; however, any
written communications are to be made a
part of the Council's file. Also, anyone
has a chance to speak under oral communi-
cations.
