He indicated that he expects some type of joint venture between the cities, the County of San Diego and the Legislature to be made in order to get federal funds to make a study on the type of government the County should have. The Mayor added that CPO may be legalized by statute so that these funds would be made available and the studies completed. MAYORS' MEETING At the Mayors' meeting held Monday, it was announced that all of the cities have put in their monies in support of CPO; the County reported they would not support it unless they had 50% of the vote. It was the opinion of the Mayors that the federal government will recognize CPO as the entity to which all grants will be given, and the cities will ask the County to be a member with 30% of the vote° A Council discussion followed on the time element involved, charter cities, and the fact that the County has suggested a Special District be set up which would con- cern itself only with planning and trans- portation and would require a 10C increase in the tax rate.

This proposed ordinance is to be referred to the Chamber of Commerce. DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT Councilman Scott discussed the action taken at the last meeting at which Mr. Tommy Couch, Chairman of the Advisory Committee, submitted a zero budget which the Council approved. Councilman Scott questioned whether the motion to adopt a zero budget was made at a public meeting; was a vote taken by the members of the Downtown Improvement District to submit a zero budget? If not, was it legal for the Council to take action on a report submitted by just the Chairman? Another question Councilman Scott asked was whether the ordinance stipulates that the Downtown Improvement District has to meet on a regular basis, even though a zero bu~ get has been submitted. - 8 - Motion for staff report It was moved by Councilman Scott~ seconded by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried hy those Councilmen present that these matters be referred to staff for a report.

The reason the restriction was put into the sign ordinance was because of the maintenance of the neon signs; however, there is a provision in the ordinance for maintenance of these signs. If neon signs is a type of sign the City does wish to prohibit, he would suggest making the signs non-conforming. AMORTIZATION OF SIGNS Councilman Scott discussed the small shopping centers in which both large and small signs are displayed. Because of the amortization period based on values, some signs would be taken down in two years and some in five years. He felt the ordinance should be modified in such a way that all signs would have to be taken down at one time - at the time the larger sign would have to be re- moved. Motion for report It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde and unanimously carried by those Councilmen present that these two items be referred to the staff for report to be brought back in two weeks. Director of Planning Warren stated that two weeks would not be a reasonable time to submit these reports. He would ask for a minimum of three weeks.

Councilman Hyde agreed to the second and the motion carried unanimously by those Councilmen present. SAN DIEGO TRANSIT REPORT Councilman Scott referred to the report submitted ~Once~ntng San Dieg~Transit. · He suggested a Council Conference be held on this matter.
