APPROVAL OF COUNCIL MINUTES Councilman Hyde noted that the vote to deny the massage parlor license for Nicholas Besker was not a unanimous one and should have reflected his "no" vote and that of Mayor Hamilton. It was moved by Councilman Egdahl, seconded by Councilman Hyde, and unanimously carried that the minutes of the meeting of October 20, 1970, be approved as corrected, copies having Been sent to each of the Councilmen. SPECIAL OEDERS OF THE DAY Mayor Hamilton announced the following appointments to the Youth Advisory Co~nission: Richard Gac and Mark Rogers from Chula Vista High School; Scott Whiteley and Joan Ptoettner fn~mHilltop High School; Herbert Porter and Carol Tullis from Castle Park High School; Stephen Peace and Gayle McCandliss from Bonita Vista High School; Frank Guidry and Ed Dorsey from Southwestern College. The City Clerk administered the Oath of Office to the new members. RESOLUTION NO. 5832 - APPROVING TENTATIVE MAP OF HOLIDAY ESTATES, UNIT NO. 6 Director of Planning Warren submitted the tentative map noting the loca- tion as south of Tamarindo Way, west of Hilltop Drive and containing 14.4 acres. This is a split-duplex development originally submitted by the applicants at the meeting of October 6, 1970, and continued to this meeting for Council action. The applicants have now submitted a revised tentative map which shows a park site in the southeasterly portion of the development. The Council voiced their concern over the fact that the park site should perhaps be in the middle of the development to "break up" the monotony of the development. Councilman Scott suggested another park site at the northwest corner of the site. John Morgan, representing Jafro, Inc., the developers, declared that the park was designed by the City's Park Director. The developers are willing to give more open space in this area, but question having another park site. Mayor Hamilton explained that the second open space area could be a playground area, and that the park equipment as proposed for this southeasterly park site, could be distributed between the two sites. Mr. Morgan agreed this could be done. The resolution was offered, as amended, by Councilman Scott, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and adopted by the follow- ing vote~ to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott~ Hobel~ Hamilton~ Hyde~ Egdahl Noes: None Absent: None PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL BY ROY A. RRUDEN OF PLANNING CO~fi~ISSION ACTION IN APPROVING GOh~ITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR OPERATION OF ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE C(YJRSE FOR PURPOSE OF DEMONSTRATION ON PROPERTY AT 997 WEST BAY BOULEVARD Director of Planning Warren submitted a plat noting the location of the property in question, the adjacent land use and zonings. The applicant plans to display and demonstrate these vehicles on this property in order to acquaint people with their operation. The Planning Commission approved the conditional use permit for a period of 90 days, subject to immediate review by the staff, and if complaints were received within 90 days, the matter would be referred back to the Planning Commission. The staff, however, recormnended denial because of the noise and dust that would be created. This being the time and place as advertised, the Mayor declared the public hearing opened. Speaking for the appeal were Roy Pruden, 1100 Industrial Boulevard, Space H-3; Richard Reagan, 1100 Industrial Boulevard, Space 1-64, (representing the 500 members of the mobile home park); John Rogers, 77 "F" Street, (father owns business adjacent to the property in question); and Frances Click, 1100 Industrial Boulevard, Space 23. They stated as their reasons that the dust, noise, and air pollution would cause a severe aggravation to the people residing in the Brentwood Park suffering from allergies, asthma, emphy- sema, and serious respiratory ailments. Mr. Walter McClure, the applicant, stated he hasn't been operating this business, pending permission to obtain his license. He alleged that there would be no more dust or noise from these vehicles than one would get from a power mower. The charge is 50¢ for a 3-minute demonstration ride. The Council discussed their concern over the fact that this small fee would turn this operation into one of an amusement center. Mayor Hamilton sug- gested a test run be made for purpose of demonstration so that this operation can be viewed first-hand. The people in Brentwood Park could be notified and be present at this demonstration. There being no further comments, either for or against, the Mayor declared the hearing closed. It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Coumcilman Egdahl, and unan- imously carried that this matter be held over for one or two weeks for the pur- pose of further investigation, specifically for the purpose of checking with the City of San Diego concerning their operations of similar businesses, and for the purpose of arranging a demonstration of these vehicles with the proviso that the residents of Brentwood Mobile Home Park be notified of the time and place of this demonstration so they can ba present; also that the staff and City Council be informed of the demonstration date. Director of Planning Warren stated he would meet with the applicant and set up this date and notify the staff and residents of the Park area. 8:10 P.M. - The Mayor called a recess and the meeting reconvcned at 8:17 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - PREZONING FRf~I COUNTY A-3 (8) TO GENERAL INDUSTRIAL FOR PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF OTAY VALLEY ROAD~ EAST OF PRINCESS MANOR SUBDIVISION~ UNIT NO. 5 Director of Planning Warren submitted a location map noting that the property contains approximately 46 acres. The Planning Commission recommends that the property be prezoned R-1 and I-L indicating that higher density zoning tham R-i ~hould be considered only when more precise planning has been done by the applicant. The applicants, Mr. and Mrs. Jirmmie Shinohara, object to the R-1 prezoning, declaring that they should be permitted a density at least as high as that contemplated in the Brandywine project adjacent to the north. This being the time and place as advertised, the Mayor declared the public hearing opened. There being no ¢ormnents, either for or against, thc hearing was declared closed. O__~INANCE NO. 1306 - ADOPTING PREZONING TO R-1 AND I-L FOR THAT PROPERTY NORTH OF OTAY ~ALLEY ROAD~ EAST OF PRINCESS MANOR SUBDIVISION, UNIT NO. 5 - FIRST READING It was moved by Councilman Hyde that this ordinance be placed on its first reading and that reading of the text be waived by unanimous consent. The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit! AYES: Councilmen Hyde, Egdaht, Scott, Hobel, Hamilton Noes: None Absent: None -2- PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERING CHANGE OF ZONE FROM R-1 TO C-T-P (THOROUGHFARE- COMMERCIAL WITH PP. ECISE PLAN) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON SOUTH SIDE OF "I" STREET, EAST OF BROADWAY - FAR WEST SERVICES, INC. Director of Planning Warren submitted a plat noting the location of the property in question as four parcels with 175 feet of frontage on "I"i Street and a depth of 290 feet. The applicant is requesting approval of g-T-P zoning, subject to a precise plan providing for the construction of a restaurant facility fronting on "I" Street. The Planning Commission recon~nends approval of a change of zone to C-C-P (central commercial with precise plan). Councilman Scott asked that the staff's recommendation be read into this report° Director Warren stated that the staff recormmended denial of the rezon- lng request based on (1) the General Plan designates this area for high density residential use~ (2) approval of the request would commit the remainder of "I" Street frontage between Broadway and Cedar Avenue to commercial zoning. He cautioned that the same thing could happen here that started on '~" Street over the past 10 years where residential lots were rezoned commercial. This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was opened. Mr. Richard Gant, 1250 Sixth Avenue, San Diego, attorney representing the applicants, spoke in favor of the request. Mr. Gant submitted a rendering of the proposed restaurant indicating that it would be a good buffer between the heavy cormnercial on Broadway and the residential area. Speaking against the request was Wesley Garst, 625 Beech Avenue, and Alan Willhite, 629 Beech Avenue. They cited the traffic congestion that would be generated, the requirement for a wall to separate this operation from the residential area, the placement of the garbage disposal area, and the requests for additional commercial zoning along "I" Street. There being no further com- ments, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Councilman Hyde that the rezoning be denied and the matter referred back to the Planning Commission. Attorney Cant asked to speak before the motion was acted upon. It was moved by Councilman Hyde, seconded by Councilman Scott, and unan- imously carried that the hearing be reopened. Mr. Cant discussed the previous proposal by Farrells to locate their restaurant on this location. He stated that, at that time, the City did not have the precise plan; the Council now has this and it gives them control over the development. Mr. Eugene York, 280 "K" Street, remarked that this request points up a problem the City had on "E" Street, whereby it was rezoned to a greater ~ommercial depth in order to make a more logical zoning pattern for the businesses along that street. He urged the Council to reconsider their motion and consider the inadequate depth of commercial zoning along Broadway and the fact that this request is subject to approval of precise plan. There being no further comments, either for or against, Mayor Hamilton declared the hearing closed. The motion to refer the matter back to the Plan- ning Cormnission carried unanimously. ORDINANCE - ADDING TO THE CITY CODE THE PROHIBITION OF UNNECESSARY OR UNREASON- ABLE LIGHT - FIRST READING City Attorney Lindberg advised the Council that discussions were still in progress regarding development of this ordinance, and requested that this matter be deferred for two weeks. It was moved by Councilman Hyde, ~aconded by Councilman Scott and unan- imously carried that the matter be continued to the meeting of November 17, 1970. ORDINANCE - ADOPTING NEW SECTION OF CITY CODE RELATIVE TO ADOPTION OF UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, VOLUME I~, DANGEROUS BUILDING CODE~ 1970 EDITION - FIRST READING It was moved by Councilman Hobel that the ordinance be placed on its first reading and that reading of the text be waived by unanimous consent. -3- Councilman Scott expressed his concern over the routine handling of these building code ordinances by the Council. He moved that the Council hold a joint meeting with the Board of Appeals to review the Uniform Building Code. Councilman Hobel seconded the motion for discussion. Councilman Hyde spoke against the motion, indicating that the Council should ask the Board of Appeals to direct their attention to matters of concern by the Council (flexibility of low-cost housing, etc.); have them take a good hard look at it and then have the joint meeting with this Board. The motion failed to carry by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel Noes: Councilmen Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl Absent: None Councilman Hyde moved, seconded by Councilman Hobel that the Board of Appeals be requested to review the Building Code with a view to determining whether there are any elements in the Code which might lend themselves to change for the purpose of reducing the cost of building without sacrificing quality of construction that is consistent with good building practice; this meeting to be held within the next month, or perhaps the second meeting from now. Mr. Eugene GraVy, Chief of Building and Housing, stated he could call a special meeting sometime next week. Mr. Grady discussed the Building Code and the process of amending the Code. There are 70 chapters in the Code. Councilman Hyde modified his motion that this matter be brought before the Board of Appeals at its next regular meeting and that this be made a joint Council-Board meeting. Councilman Hobel withdrew his second to the motion and Councilman Scott seconded the motion. For clarification purposes, Councilman Hyde withdrew his motion and moved that the City Council request a joint meeting with the Board of Appeals at its next regular meeting for the purpose of reviewing the City's Building Code to specifically consider ways and means by which our City Building Code could be modified, if at all; to reduce the cost of construction without any sacrifice in building quality. Councilman Scott seconded the motion. The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Hyde, Scott, Hamilton Noes: Councilmen Hobel, Egdahl Absent: None ORDINANCES - ADOPTING NEW SECTION OF CITY CODE RELATIVE TO ADOPTION OF UNIFORM BUILDING CODE~ VOLUME IV~ DANGEROUS BUILDING CODE~ 1970 EDITION ADOPTING UNIFORM BUILDING CODE~ VOLIfME I~ 1970 EDITION AND APPENDIX ADOPTING UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, VOLUME II~ MECHANICAL, 1970 EDITION AND APPENDIX It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde and carried that the above named ordinances be held over until such time as the Council meets with the Board of Appeals. The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: Councilmen Hobel, Hamilton Absent: None RESOLUTION NO. 5833 - APPROVING AND ADOPTING UNIFORM BUILDING VALUATIONS Mayor Hamilton questioned the quoted valuations for signs and billboards and asked if these were the same amounts as adopted in the City ordinance. Mr. Eugene Grady, Chief of Building and Housing, stated these amounts were under study at the time the ordinance was adopted but were not that far along that he could have given this information to the Planning Commission. Mayor Hamil- ton suggested that these prices be made a part of the sign ordinance. City Attorney Lindberg explained that these new valuations are applicable to new permittees, and therefore, the existing valuations for amortization pur- poses would not have to be modified. The resolution was offered by Councilman Scott, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: -4- AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: None Absent: None RESOLUTION NO. 5834 - APPROVING AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF CERTAIN PROPERTY ADJACENT TO GREG ROGERS PARK-SCHOOL FOR PARK PURPOSES Offered by Councilman Hyde, the reading of the text was waived by unani- mous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Hyde, Egdahl, Scott, Hobel, Hamilton Noes: None Absent: None RESOLUTION NO. 5835 - APPROVING CONTRACT BETWEEN CITY OF CHULA VISTA AND SAN DIEGO COUNTY ASSOCIATION FOR THE RETARDED (STARLIGHT CENTER) FOR DEFERMENT OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS Offered by Councilman Egdahl, the reading of the text was waived by unan- imous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Egdahl, Scott, Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde Noes: None Absent: None RESOLUTION NO. 5836 - APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR REMODELING OF CIVIC CENTER ANNEX Offered by Councilman Scott, the reading of the text was waived by unan- imous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: None Absent: None RESOLUTION NO. 5837 - APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR EQUIPMENT FOR SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL Offered by Councilman Hobel~ the reading of the text was waived by unan- imous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl, Scott Noes: None Absent: None RESOLUTION NOo 5838 - APPROVING TENTATIVE MAP OF CHULA VISTA GARDENS SUBDIVISION, UNIT NO. 7 Offered by Councilman Scott, the reading of the text was waived by unan- imous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel~ Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: None Absent: None RESOLUTION NO. 5839 - AMENDING ~CHEDULE II OF TRAFFIC CODE TO INCLUDE SPECIAL STOPS ON CEDAR AVENUE Offered by Councilman Scott, the reading of the text was waived by unan- imous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: None Absent: None RESOLUTION NO. 5840 - AME~ING SCHEDULE VI OF TRAFFIC CODE TO INCLUDE LIMITED PARKING ON FOURTH AVENUE Offered by Councilman Scott, the reading of the text was waived by unan- imous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott~ Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: None Absent: None RESOLUTION - AMENDING SCHEDULE XIII OF TRAFFIC CODE TO INCLUDE "YIELD RIGHT-OF- WAY" DN KEARNEY STREET Mayor Hamilton indicated that if this intersection needs a "Yield Right- of-Way" sign, then there is, perhaps, a definite need for a "Stop" sign instead. -5- It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde, and unan- imously carried that the matter be referred to the Safety Commission. RESOLUTION NO. 5841 - GRANTING PERMISSION TO CONSTRUCT DRIVEWAY OPENING IN EXCESS OF CODE LIMITATIONS AT 634 "F" STREET Offered by Councilman Scott, the reading of the text was waived by unan- imous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: None Absent: None RESOLUTION NO. 5842 - QUITCLAIMING CERTAIN LOTS RESERVED FOR STREET PURPOSES IN HOLIDAY ESTATES SUBDIVISION, UNIT NO. 5, TO JAFRO, INC.

In answer to the Council's inquiries, he stated the license would be held by the County of San Diego. The present equipment will be utilized by other depart- ments in the City. The Council discussed the fact that the system is designed by Motorola which puts the City o~t of the competitive bidding process. The Council further discussed the amount needed from %ra~ppropriated surplus for this purchase. Acting Chief Administrative Officer Thomson explained why this amount was not put into the budget at the time pf the hearings. Coun- cilman Scott wondered if there was some area within the Fire Department that a lower priority item could be deferred until next year, rather than going into the unappropriated surplus for this purchase. Acting Chief Administrative Officer Thomson stated he would present a report to the Council at the next meeting on what item(s) could be deferred in the current budget equal to this sum, based on staff opinion of a priority budget. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Egdahl that this matter be held over for two weeks to see what priorities in other depart- ment areas could be cut to take care of this unappropriated surplus. Council- man Hyde discussed the deficiency in our fire-fighting facilities, indicating that the Council should proceed with this request. The motion carried by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott~ Hamilton, Egdahl Noes: Councilmen Hobel, Hyde Absent: None Councilman Egdahl commented that it should be noted that at least $5,000 worth of the present equipment will be going out to other departments. -6- Councilman Hyde asked if the staff has checked to see if there are any carry-over funds obligated but not committed. Mr. Thomson declared he would report on this at the next meeting. The Finance Officer has made one report on this and the amounts are rather small in ~elation to the figure they are talking about here. Councilman Hyde stated, for the record, that radio equipment was bor- rowed from National City during the last fire disaster. Mayor Hamilton asked the staff to include in their report: what effect would it have on ~he City of Chula Vista if the County holds the license versus the City holding the license; also, since it was stated that this "is the bare minimum", according to Chief Smithey, should they have to go back next year or the year after next to get new equipment, that the same radios would perhaps cost more money and find out what that cost would be, and how many more radios the Fire Department would need so that this could be evaluated at this time. RESOLUTION NO. 5846 - AWARDING BID FOR ONE LOGGING TAPE RECORDER SYSTEM FOR PO~LICE DEPARTMENT ANDAPPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR Offered by Councilman Hobel, the reading of the text was waived by unan- imous consent, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl, Scott Noes: None Absent: None ACQUISITION OF PARK SITE - FRENZEL PROPERTY The Council referred to the report submitted by Acting Chief Administra- tive Officer Thomson regarding this property for park purposes. The property is located east of Acacia Avenue, south of Central Avenue, Bonita, and comprises approximately 34 acres. The staff's reco~endation is that the land acquisition not be approved in view of its close proximity to Rohr Park; no funds have been budgeted for such an expenditure; and that the site is not in or contiguous to the current City boundaries. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Egdahl, and unanimously carried that the City not acquire the park site in Sunnyside. Councilman Hyde requested that the staff write a letter to Mr. Frenzel thanking him for thinking about the City in ~is proposal. REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION OF GAS TAX PROGRAM The Council referred to the report submitted by Acting Chief Administra- tive Officer Thomson on the amount of funds available under the Gas Tax program. It has been estimated that approximately $62,670 is available above that budgeted as a year-end reserve. Because of this, it is reconunended that three signal projects be approved: Broadway at "E" and "H" Streets, and Fourth Avenue at "C" Street. It is further recormmended by the staff that the Public Works Department be authorized to receive bids for the controllers to operate the intersections; these controllers will all be "quad left" solid state controllers. These projects will utilize $36,000 of the $62,670 available in excess of budgeted assignments. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde, and unan- imously carried that the Council accept the modification of the Gas Tax program as submitted by the staff. REPORT ON DRAINAGE DHANNEL SOUTH OF EAST NAPLES STREET AND WEST OF W~LI.TOP DRIVE. - DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS Director of Public Works Cole stated that the Engineering Division has completed a study of 43 unimproved drainage channels; this study was made in response to a request of Mrs. Don Adams to improve the drainage channel located south of the 100 block of East Naples Street. The staff established a priority list based on the adopted drainage policy, as established by the City Council, and this particular channel was placed as No. 7. The staff could find no unique situation where the City should be obligated to fund the whole project for this channel, rather than staying with the policy of participating up to 50% of the cost. -7- / It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde, and unan- imously carried that the report of the Director of Public Works be accepted. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hobel, and carried that this item be scheduled for discussion at the next Council confer- ence. Councilman Hobel requested the staff to write a letter to Mrs. Adams explaining the Council's action, and to include a copy of the report as sub- mitted by the Director of Public Works. REVIEW OF FUNCTIONAL DESIGN OF CIVIC CENTER PARKING LOT Director of Public Works Cole submitted a plat of the Civic Center area noting the parking layout and discussed the recommendation of the Safety Com~ mission that "right turn only" be designated on both the exits at Fourth Avenue and on "F" Street. Mr. Cole suggested that they could take the perpendicular stalls in this area and turn them slightly, five or ten degrees, which may be of some help to park; perhaps one stall would be lost in doing this. Council- man Hobel questioned the bumper stops in the middle area whereby the cars have a tendency to jump over the stops and park in the next area. Mr. Cole stated that they could put in an asphalt berm which would prevent the motorists from doing this. It was moved by Councilman Hobel, seconded by Councilman Egdahl, and unanimously carried that the report of the Director of Public Works be accepted. (This does not sustain the recommendation of the Safety Commission). REPORT REGARDING TIDELANDS STUDY BY CONSULTANT Director of Planning Warren referred to his report submitted to the Council which defines the study area of the Tidelands. A study by a consultant could be accomplished in about six months. Presumably, the cost for this con- sultant would be shared by both the Port District and the City. Mr. C. R. Campbell, Port Commissioner, spoke of the present plans to proceed with the small boat harbor. He was concerned about the fact that if they had to wait six months on this, it may seriously impede their plans, and may even jeopar- dize not being able to obtain the funds presently allocated for this project. Councilman Scott discussed the present location for the proposed "3" Street marina, stating that he feels Council should seriously consider moving its location further north, to "F" or "G" Street. Mr. Campbell indicated that the development of a launching ramp would not preclude the development of the marina and that this marina could be developed to the north of that location. Councilman Egdahl suggested the Port District be asked to affirm this in writing~ that they are committed to a marina in this area. Mr. Campbell suggested forming a committee between the two agencies to help expedite these problems, since there are things that should be acted upon irmnediately. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Egdahl, and unanimously carried that a cormnittee be formed to review these problems, and that the report of the Planning Cormmission be accepted. It was moved by Coun- cilman Hyde, seconded by Councilman Egdahl, and unanimously carried that the Committee members~ as appointed by the Mayor~ be accepted. REPORT ON TENTATIVE LEASE PROPOSAL FOR CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE RE STAURANT/BAR Director of Parks and Recreation Jasinek gave a report on the tentative lease proposal and the prospectus as related to the operation of the Golf Course Restaurant/Bar. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hobel, and car- ried that the proposal as submitted by the Director of Parks and Recreation be accepted. REPORT ON PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF FENCE - 300 BLOCK OF "L" STREET City Attorney Lindberg reported that he has reviewed the ordinance and there is no specific requirement in the C-C zone for a fence to separate com- mercial from residential property; there is, however, a site plan control over such projects. -8- It was moved by Councilman Scott that this ordinance on zoning be changed; that a fence be required between the commercial zoning and the R-l; that it be brought back as an amended ordinance at the next meeting. This is for all com- mercial zones. Director of Planning Warren stated that this would have to be considered first by the Planning Cormnission. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde, and unan- imously carried that this matter be referred to the Planning Con~ission. ORDINANCE NO. 1302 - ADOPTING CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY WEST OF MELROSE AVENUE BETWEEN ORANGE AVENUE AND EAST RIENSTRA STREET - SECOND READING AND ADOPTION It was moved by Councilman Scott that this ordinance be placed on its second reading and that reading of the text be waived by unanimous consent.

The ordinance was passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Scott, Hobel, Hamilton, Hyde, Egdahl Noes: None Absent: None SAN DIEGO COUNTRY CLUB PURCHASE Councilman Scott discussed the rumors he heard concerning the possible purchase of the San Diego Country Club. If this was true, he would urge the City to consider purchasing this site as an open space grant. It was m~ved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilman Hyde, and unan- imously carried that the staff look into this situation. Councilman Scott discussed the fact that about one year ago, a man from HUD informed the Council that this property could be acquired for fifty cents on the dollar. Cit~ Attorney Lindberg indicated he received a prospectus from a member of the Board of Directors of the San Diego Country Club pertaining to this mat- ter. Mr. C. R. Campbell, 43 Corte Marla~ remarked that the prospectus was sent to the members and the Board, but it was his understanding now that the matter has been dropped. -9- COST OF ELECTIONS Councilman Hyde moued that an ad hoc cor~nittee be appointed by the Mayor, made up of private citizens of the City to study the situation of local elec- tions and make recommendations to the City Council as to ways and means by which the expenses of the local elections in Chula Vista can be limited and con- trolled. This motion was seconded by Councilman Egdahl and passed by the fol- lowing vote~ to-wit: AYES: Councilmen Hyde, Egdahl, Scott, ~amilton Noes: Councilman Hobel Absent: None Councilman Hobel stated there are many other areas in the City that are in need of citizen participation, rather than elections. CABLE TV Mayor Hamilton commented that his office has been contacted by Cable TV concerninE programs of a community nature. On November 11, the Mayors of Chula Vista, E1 Cajon, and La Mesa will be on TV and every two weeks; this will be of an informative nature to the listeners of this Cable TV. WRITTEN CO~4UNICATIONS (CITY CLERK REPORTS) Sweetwater Valley Little LeaKue - This request was received on behalf of the Sweetwater Valley Little League to establish three Little League fields within the Rohr Park area and to approve the Little League Field Committee of this Sweetwater Valley Lea§ne for permission to liaison with the Park and Recreation Corm~ission to discuss in detail the plans for the Little League fields. It was moved by Mayor Hamilton, seconded by Councilman Hobel, and carried that this matter be referred to the staff and Pargs and Recreation Corm~ission for report. Mr. William Jasinek, Director of Parks and Recreation, discussed a simi- lar request they received in January, 1969, for which they recommended denial. Pro~ect Head Start - This is a request from the County Parent Policy Advisory Committee of Project Head Start asking Council support in petitioning Congress to restore the Head Start funds.

It was moved by Councilman Scott~ seconded by Mayor Hamilton~ and unan- imously carried that this matter be referred to the staff. Mayor Hamilton discussed the middle of the street which has no paving. He would request staff to determine when the contractor was required to pave his portion of the street~ whether it was the obligation of the City to pave the center portion~ and if itwas the City's responsibility~ why wasn't it done at the same time the contractor was required to put in his improvements. He also asked the staff to look into the need of barricading the area at East "J" Street where it is being used as an access to Rice Canyon by motorcyclists and dune buggies.
