DRUG ABUSE PROGRAM Councilman Hobel stated ho would like to see a Mayor's committee or Council c~mnittee initiated to work with these people and see if the Council can do something to help, such as matching funds, etc. Mayor Hamilton commented that there is a problom in that there are several ~6mps working on this same program. He would request that all agencies that are involved in the treatment or the traffic of drugs coordinate all their activities through one agency (he would suggest tho South Bay Drug Abuse Commit- tee) so that everyone will know what thc other committees are doing. He would then be in favor of taking a look at their budget. -1- Councilman Scott felt that representatives of the Drug Abuse Con~nittee should come to a Council conference and explain their function. Mayor Hamilton asked that a letter be written to Dr. Robert Botterman, President of this Drug Abuse Program, inviting him to a Council conference.

LAFC REPRESENTATION Councilman Scott commented on the resolution which will be on the Coun- cil agenda tonight, urging the Local Agency Formation Commission to adopt a policy of requiring annexation to municipalities for any areas which require urban services. In view of this, Councilman Scott declared that this City needs representation on LAFC. As stated by many people, Kyle Morgan, the City's present representativ~ is not just "pro-National City, but anti-Chula Vista". He stated that the Council should direct the Mayor to have this man removed; this has to be done especially in light of the resolution being adopted tonight (September 22, 1970). The Council discussed the terms of office of the men serving on LAFC, and concurred that the Council should get someone on this Cormnission that recog- nizes this City's problems. It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Mayor Hamilton, and unan- imously carried that the Council do something positive in this direction; that the City of Chula Vista go on record in seeking people on the Board of Directors of LAFC~ appointed by the Mayor~ that are pro-City and understand the problems of the City and the annexation problems of the City.
