Councilman DeWolfe was of the opinion that the District should inform the Council more of their intentions, before the City gets too involved in their actions. City Attorney Boyer thought the City should invest very little, or no money until after the National City election. Chief Administrative Officer Bryant read to the Council the letter they requested he send to the National City Council, pertaining to the possible acquisition of the water system. It was suggested that action be deferred until later in the meeting, at which time members of the South Bay Irrigation District would be present. TRAFFIC SAFETY COUNCIL REQUEST Chief Administrative Officer Bryant read a letter from the San Diego Traffic Safety Council requesting the City contribute $880.00 toward the fight against the traffic accident problem. The matter was discussed, and conclusion reached, that the money might better be used within our own system in the control of safety. No action was taken. At this point the Council directed the City Attorney to leave the meeting in order that he might attend another meeting in the interest of the City~ ~3' ~RANCINE PARK No. 2 - Revised Tentative Map It was moved by Councilm~n DeWoLfe, seconded by Councilman Halferty, and carried, that the tentative map of Francine Park No. 2 (revised) heretofore approved by the Planning Commission, be approved for Lots 9, 10, 11, 17, 18, and 19, subject to improvements required by Section ? of the Subdivision Ordinance, and including a one foot Lot at the southern terminus of the street; also that the corner radii of the intersection of Elm Street and "~' Street be made, and that the name of "Elm Street" be changed to Las Flores Drive, and an extension for utility easements be made out to "F" Street. Councilman Riesland arrived at this time. ~'/~JUD~ON TRACT - Tentative ~ap The Tentative ~ap of judson Tract lying South of "J" Street and East of the Hilltop Housing Project (County) was submitted to the Council for approval, with the thought of annexing to the City. Councilman DeWolfe objected to the width of the Lots in the Subdivision, stating they were below standard proposed for that area, as it was to the best interest of the City to reserve that section as a better class residential district. Councilman DeWolfe recommended that the Lots be at least 68 feet wide. After lengthy ~iscussion Nr. W. O. Smith, developer of the Judson Tract, requested that the Nap be tabled until he has time to rework the plan in view of increasing the Lot sizes to between 68 and ?O feet, at which time he will re-eubmit the Nap to the Council. ADOPTION OF BUDGET - 1953-1954 Chief Administrative Officer Bryant gave his final report on the Budget and presented it for adoption, with the request that the class title of Lieutenant in the Police Department be deleted, and another Captain added, in order to have a Captain as head of each shift, as recommended by the Chief of Police. It was moved by Councilman DeWolfe, seconded by Councilman Riesland, and carried, that no apprgpriation be made for p~s~tion of Lieutenant, but that the budget include appropriations for two Captains. The Budget calls for the purchase of six new Chevrolet police cars, but it was decided not to enter into the service agreement as offered by the City Chevrolet Company.

Richard Allen as spokesman, stated that the general feeling was that the time has come when the water system should be purchased, and that good public relations between the City and the District should be kept at all times. They requested that the Council allow City Engineer Floyd and City Attorney Boyer to accompany Mr. Allen to LOs Angeles to interview (1) Roy Wene and (2) Hill, Leeds, and Jewett, engineering firms capable of making the survey necessary before any action could be taken by the District toward purchasing the water system. It was moved by Councilm~n Halferty, seconded by Councilman Riesland, and carried, that City Engineer Floyd and City Attorney Boyer be authorized to go with Mr. Allen to Los Angeles to interview the qualified engineers, a~ requested. SWIMMING POOL PLANS APPROVED Victor Wulff, architect for the swimming pool project presented the preliminary plans to the Council, showing s~en alternates that may be followed in caltin~£or bids ~ the eventu~lbuilding of the pool. He suggested the basic plan, which calls for an estlm~ted expenditure of $354,000.00 based on $t00, O00.00 for the pool itself, be used for the initial bid. The Council was of the opinion that the $100,000.00 estimate on the pool was entirely too high, and thought a reply from Mr. Brooks, the pool engineer~ to Mr. Wulff's letter, requesting that he trim it down, was necessary before the plans could be approved. Kermit Maynard, Pool Con~ittee Chairman, asked if the go signal could not be given for the Gymnasium portion of the project, while awaiting Mr. Brook's reply, as the Committee was very desirous of eliminating any further delays. After further .discussion, it was moved by Councilman Riesland, seconded by Councilman DeCOfile, and carried, that the overall plans be approved, and that the architect be directed to proceed with the final working plans and specifications, inbluding all seven alternates, and to negotiate with Mr. Brooks toward reduci~ the pool figure to $82,000.00 or less. If a~ any time, now or in the future, any of the a~ternates are added, the firm of Johnson, Hatch and Wulff are to receive the usual architects fees for their designing.
