AMENDMENT TO FREEWAY AGREEMENT AUTHORIZED City Engineer Cole explained that owners of property on West Bay Boule- vard between "E" and "F" Streets were concerned with the realignment of West Bay Boulevard as it is proposed with the widening of Montgomery Freeway, due to the fact the proposed alignment will bisect theirrproperty and make it difficult to develop. The City Engineer submitted a plat which showed an alignment.~of West Bay Boulevard parallel to and contiguous with the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway between "E" and "F" Streets, and recommended that this a~ignment be re- quested from the Division of Highways. It was moved by Counc~ McCorquodale, seconded by Councilman Sparli~g, and carried that the Divisio~Highways be requested to amend the Freeway Agreement, dated November 19~ -i~.~5, in accordance with the recommendations of the City Engineer, as shown on.~he plat submitted. DISCUSSION OF RAILROAD BRIDGE ACROSS FREEWAY AT "F" STREET Mayor McAllister stated that in his opinion the railroad bridge which will have to be rebuilt with widening of the freeway at "F" Street is completely unjustified in view of the hundreds of thousands of dollars it is going to cost and in view of the fact the spur of track on the east side of "F" Street does not go anywhere but is used just for switching and storage purposes. Mr. McA1- · lister would like to see the City exert every effort to explore this matter fur- ther than ithhas been at the present. Mr. Wayne Grizzle, representing Mr. Harding Campbell, owner of property at the freeway and "F" Street, stated that the proposed new bridge to be used by the railroad company for switching and parking purposes is to cost approxi~ mately one million dollars. About 60 feet of Mr. Campbell's property would be needed to change the location of the railroad which would completely put out of business a tenant he has on the property. Mr. Grizzle urged that the Council meet with railroad representatives in an attempt to have the switching spur moved into the National City area where it is contemplated that six million dollars are to be spemt on railroad changes in conjunction with the f~eeway widening project. It was moved by Councilman Sparling, seconded by Councilman Anderson, and carried that the Mayor set up a meeting with railroad representatives to discuss the possibility of eliminating the bridge across "F" Street. ~,Z~EQUEST FROM ELKS LODGE OF CHULA V~STA FOR SEWER HOOK-UP Assistant Administrative Officer Stenberg stated he has received a re- quest from the Elks Lodge of Chula Vista to hook to the City sewer pending an- nexation of their property to the City. Also that they be extended fire pro- tection and, if possible, police protection. It was moved by Councilman Sparling, seconded by Councilman McCorquodale, and carried that the City Attorney be directed to prepare the necessary agree- ment for presentation at the next meeting. ~/REQuEST FOR STREET CLOSING FOR BLOCK PARTY APPROVED Assistant Administrative Officer Stenberg stated a letter has been re- ceived from Mrs. Donald Sipes, 543 Berland Way, requesting that the Council grant the residents on that block permission to hold a block party on October 29, 1966, with the resultant closing of Berland Way, east of Floyd Avenue. Berland Way being a dead-end street at this point, approval was reconm~ended by the Chief of Police and City Engineer. It was moved by Councilman Sparling, seconded by Councilman McCorquodale, -and carried that the request be granted.

REQUEST FOR COMMITTEE TO STUDY MEANS OF TRASH DISPOSAL Councilman McCorquodale suggested that the Mayor appoint one or two Councilmen to work with the Administrative Officer, and any others they feel necessary, to study a means of disposing of the trash and litter from the City without use of the burning method. Mayor McAllister stated he would contact County officials and let it be known that we want to work with them and depending on what comes of this meet- ing, we may or may not want to have a committee appointed. gIREQUEST FOR ACTION ON INTRA-CITY BUS TRANSPORTATION Councilman McCerquodale stated that something positive should be done soon in the way of intra-city bus transportation.

It was suggested that Councilman McCorquodale attend the next meet- ing of the Chamber Transportation Conmaittee and submit any ideas he has on the subject. Mr. Freddie L. Allen, President of the Economy Bus Line, Inc., stated he has an application before the Public Utilities Commission to run a bus kine through Chula Vista.
