RESOLUTION GRANTING SEWER SERVICE Director o~ Public Works Cole reported
CHARGE VARIANCE - SEARS, ROEBUCK that Sears, Roebuck & Company has requested
& CC~ANY a variance from the standard sewer service
charge for their store at 555 Fifth Avenue.
Since most of the water delivered to the
site is used for irrigation and/or cooling
-5-
purposes, and therefore, does not enter
the public sewer, he is recommending
approval of the request.
The Council questioned the method of
determining this process, and the dollar
amounts involved.

backup material available for this infor-
mation, but would prepare a report on it,
if the Council wishes to continue the
item for one week.

by Councilman Hyde, and unanimously car-
ried that the matter be continued for one
week and that the Director of Public Works
bring back a report noting the actual
amount of dollars involved.
RESOLUTION RESCINDING SEWER SERVICE This concerns the Golden Arrow Dairy situ-
CHARGE VARIANCE GRANTED GOLDEN ated at 595 "C" Street. Because of the

tion to public sewer, most of the irrigated
area has been replaced by pavement, and the
sewage generation now falls within the 55%
to 85% range of water delivered to the
site, therefore, making it no longer eli-
gible for sewer service charge variance.
Matter continued It was moved by Councilman Hobel~ seconded
by Councilman Hyde, and carried that this
matter be continued for one week~ and that

report which would include the figures on
the matter in question.

submitted the proposal and a schedule of
the route° He explained that this is a new

Ysidro to San Diego with stops in Chula
Vista and National City.
Mrs. Eleanor Anderson~ 56 "K" Street~
speaking as Chairman of Task Force, ques-
tioned the policy of permitting this pro-
posal stating it was in violation of the
contract between the City and Aztec Bus
Lines - last paragraph of page is Section
1 which granted Aztec the exclusive privi-
lege to operate over and upon the public
streets in Chula Vista. Mrs. Anderson
pointed out that permitting San Diego
Transit to use "N" Street is a violation
of this contract.
Discussion of route The Council held a discussion on the route
involved and concurred that there would be
no conflict between the bus companies -
one is an inter-city bus service and the
other is an intra-city service.
Aztec Bus Lines - objection Mr. Pat Doogan, 1850 Crenshaw Street, San
Diego, General Manager of Aztec Bus Lines,
indicated they were apprehensive about this
proposal since no notification was given
pertaining to it, and if the bus system
which they operate, could be encroached upon

the best part of it and leave the rest~ Mr.
Doogan added that he has no definite opinion
about this at this time.

by Councilman Hyde, and unanimously car-
