The proposed ordi- nance, as changed, was thereupon placed on its first reading. u TRAFFIC SURVEY REPORT FOR NATIONAL AVENUE Administrative Officer Bryant read a report from Police Chief McCollum, giving results of a recent traffic survey on National Ave, with a recommendation that the present 25 mile per hour speed limit be retained. Letters were read from the Chula Vista High School P.T.A., Mr. Rubie, Principal of Chula Vista Junior High School, J. Rindone Jr., Principal of Chula Vista High School, Jack Davis, Davis food center, and Mae Feaster, principal of Flower Street School, all re- questing that the speed limit on Natiovi Avenue be retained at 25 miles per hour. A delegation of National Ave. tusinessmens Assn. members, headed by Lorenze Koester talked in favor of raising the speed limit to 35 miles per hour. Mr. Koester said the association was vitally concerned over traffic safety and believed the 25 mile limit is not eliminating accidents; the 25 mile limit is impossible to enforce; and adequate crosswalks and public education were needed. The association chiefly wanted reasonable laws passed with reasonable enforce- ment. No engineering or traffic survey was presented by the proponents of a 25 mile limit. Page 2 Attorney Boyer stated the City had limited control over speed limits as the subject was regulated by State law. However, the City, after making a proper engineering and traffic survey and after determining that conditions warrant a change in the speed limits may make a change as provided in Vehicle Code Sec. 511.3. If the present survey on National Avenue indicates that a continuation of the 25 mile limit is proper, the Council cannot legally change to 35 miles without basing its determination upon a survey. Councilman DeWolfe favored a 35 mile speed limit on most of National Avenue with a slow down to 25 miles for two or three blocks in the more heavily built up section. Councilman Logan thought the matter should be tabled for a month or two in order to see what problems might arise after new subdivisions under con- struction on the west side of National Avenue are completed. Councilman Halferty thought the logical speed limit was 35 miles, with constant patrol. Mayor Rissland suggested a new survey be made with the thought of using both the 25 mile and 35 mile limits as suggested by Councilman DeWolfe. He thereupon appointed Councilman DeWolfe, Chief McCollum and Lorenze Koester to make the survey and report back at the next regular meeting. -_i TIJUANA RIVER WATER Attorney Boyer presented a request from DeWitt Higgs, attorney for the California Water and Telephone Company, asking that the City sign a joint letter with National City and San Diego International Boundary and Water Commission asking that immediate action be taken to apportion equitably the waters of the Tijuana River between United States of America and Mexico. It was moved by Councilman DeWolfe, seconded by Councilman Halferty, and carried, thaE'the Mayor be authorized to sign the letter as requested. CANCELLATION OF TAXES It was moved by Councilman DeWolfe, seconded by Councilman Logan, and carried, that the taxes on Parcel 27-130-1 in the amount of $5.33 be cancelled, this property having been dedicated for street parposes. Also that the taxes on parcels 27-30-28 and 29 in the amount of $117.13 be cancelled, these two parcels having been purchased by the City for pakking lots: RESIGNATION OF GEORGE CORNELL - Civil service commission. A letter was read from Mr. George Cornell tendering his resignation from the Civil Service Commission. It was moved by Councilman Riesland, seconded by Councilman Logan, and carried, that the resignation be accepted with regret, and that a letter of appreciation be sent to Mr. Cornell. APPOINTMENT OF RICHARD HIGGS - Civil Service Commission A letter was read from the Employe as Association, submitting the names of Charles B. Dum II, Richard A. Higgs, and Harry Williams, from which the Council is to pick one to fill the vacancy of George Cornell. It was moved by Councilman DeWolfe, seconded by Councilman Logan and carried, that Richard Higgs be appointed to fill the vacancy of George Cornell on the Civil Service Commission. TREE RECOMPIENDATIONS FOR CITY STREETS Administrative Officer Bryant read a letter from the Junior Women's Club asking the Council's approval of their.gl8nned drive to have citizens plant either Goldenrain trees or Korean Ash in their packings. The Council unanimously agreed to the project. Page 3 Y' FRENCH LAUNDRY SUIT Attorney Boyer stated that the statute of limitations may prevent the City from sueing for the 1950 license and penalty of the Original French Laundry Co., also that the City may not be legally entitled to file a civil suit to collect a license tax unless the ordinance specifically so provides. The attorney for the Ja=dry company reported they would be willing to settle the balance claimed by the City on the basis of 50¢ on the dollar. Attorney Boyer recommended that the City accept the offer. It was moved by Councilman De - Wolfe, seconded by Councilman Halferty, and carried, that the City accept the sum of $87.50 in settlement of the 1950 business license. RESOLUTION No. 1381 - Approving compromise agreement with California Water and Telephone Company. Offered by Councilman Halferty, read in full, passed, adopted, and approved by the following vote, to -wit: AYES: Councilman Riesland, Logan, DeWolfe, Halferty NOES: None ABSENT: Councilman Hobel ADJOURNMENT It was moved by Councilman DeWolfe, seconded by Councilman Logan, and carried, that the meeting adjourn to December 2, 1952 at 7:00 P.M.
