REPORT ON UNDERGROUNDING UTILITIES ON "L" STREET AND BONITA ROAD City Engineer Cole reported that of the property owners contacted, the majority were not in favor of participating in the cost of undergrounding the utilities on "L" Street and Bonita Road. Also that the utility companies in- dicate it would not be financially feasible for them to do so, there being no indication aa,:to when the PUC will make a decision on Case No. 8209 which would allow the utility companies permission to take two per cent of their gross reve- nues from any one given area and use them for undergrounding costs. Because of these facts, it was the recommendation of the City Engineer that he be allowed to proceed with the "L" Street and Bonita Road widening projects on the basis of not undergrounding the utilities. It was moved by Councilman Sparling, seconded by Councilman McCorquodale, and carried that the City Engineer be authorized to proceed with the "L" Street and Bonita Road wideming projects as rec~mnended, without undergrounding of utilities. ~ACTION ON REQUEST FOR DEFERRAL OF SIDEWALK INSTALLATION AT CHULA VISTA CENTER Administrative Officer Ross reported an appeal has been received from owners of the Chula Vista Center from action of the Planning Com~nission deny- ing their request for continued deferral of installation of sidewalks along the north side of Center Street and the west side of Garrett Avenue adjacent to their shopping center. Attorney Robert Caplan, representing owners of the Chula Vista Center, urged that the Council grant this deferral for a suggested two or three years or until others in the area install sidewalks. Reason for the request was that the sidewalks will not be used as there would not be any place to go on them. It was moved by Councilman Sparling, seconded by Councilman Sylvester, and carried that action of the Planning Commission be upheld and the granting of the deferral denied. ~/'REQUEST FOR SIDEWALKS AND CURES ON PORTION OF "H" STREET A letter was read from Ray Stinnett, 492 Minor Avenue, suggesting that the City install sidewalks and curbing on the north side of "H" Street between Second and Minor Avenues.

Anderson, President of the American Lawn Bowls Association, complimenting the City Council for providing a first-class Lawn Bowling facility in General Roca Park. ~/~ NATIONAL CITY CHAMBER OF COI~ERCE REQUESTS SUPPORT OF REDISTRICTING PLAN Mr. George Webster, President of the National City Chamber of Commerce, presented the Chamber's proposed plan for redistricting of County Supervisorial Districts. The proposal would put the entire South Bay, including the City of Coronado, into one district. Mr. Webster asked that the Council go on record as supporting their proposed plan when the time comes to do so. It was moved by Councilman McCorquodale, seconded by Councilman Spar- ling, and carried that the Council go on record as supporting the redistrict- ing plan proposed by the National City Chamber. G/' DISCUSSION ON SEWER SERVICE FOR 670 "F" STREET Mr. Ray Halpenny, 670 "F" Street, asked if he would be permitted to con- nect a second sewer lateral to the sewer at the corner of "F" and Wood lawn to service the easterly one-half of his property. Mr. Cole stated that the correct procedure would be to extend the sewer main east on "F" Street and run the lat- eral straight into the property from the main. Mrs. Barney Seligson, co-partner with Mr. Halpenny, stated there is a definite need for the extension of the sewer line on '~" Street. There being no action the Council could take at this time, it was moved by Councilman Sylvester, seconded by Councilman McCorquodale, and carried that Mr. Halpenny and Mrs. Seligson gett~ogether with City Engineer Cole and Admin- istrative Officer Ross and try to work out a solution to their sewer problem and that a report be brought to the Council at the next meeting. ~PR.25 SET AS DATE FOR PRESENTATION FOR SOLUTION ON TRAFFIC PROBLEM In reply to a letter from Mr. J.

Brennan, 942 Monterey Court, it was moved by Councilman Sparling, seconded by Councilman McCorquodale, and carried that a letter be sent to Mr. Brennan ~nvitin§ him to the meeting of April 25, 1967, to make his presentation on his proposed solution to the traffic problem on "L" Street at the intersections of Mission Avenue and Monterey Court° HOST PROGRAM Councilman McCorquodale stated he has been observing what is called a "Host Program" where signs, donated by billboard companies, are posted at fire stations and other buildings giving directions, or any information one might wish to know.
