3RD AVE. TRUCE PARKING,: Chief Eelly explained to the City Council the difficulties en-
countered bY Stuck operators for adequate parking places after having their trucks over-
hauled et local garages on 3rd Ave., specifically the case of Roger Lee who has his work
done by Wolfe & Arnold on the corner of 3rd Ave. & Madrona. The trucks after having been
serviced have been parked parallel on the West side of 3rd Ave., Just S~uth of the San
Diego & Arizona Depot, which is against the City ordinance as it specifies that cars must
be parked diagonally on 3rd Ave. It was pointed out by several of the Counsil~an that
this parallel parking created a very serious liability to the City should a car going South
on ~rd Ave. ha~e an accident with a train due to vision obstruction caused by the ~rueks
parked at that location and as the trucks would block the highway if perked diagonally the
only recourse left for them was to obtain permission to park on vacant lots thereby.

mitres' ~o~r %hJ coming Fiesta.

I~C~E~TI~I~ ~, ,LXAB3X.ITY: Mr. C. ~. Lauderbach informed the Council that the
District Attorney had advised the School Board that public liability insurance ~ould be
taken out to protect the~ against any accident which might occur on the school property
leased to C. V. Brow~ and used as a recreation center. Mr. ~o~, having dete~minad that
the cost of the above insurance approx~m~te~ $128.00, advised the Council that he would be
unable to aes~,.~a same a~d as thc receipts are not more than enough to care for the
maintenance he saw no solution to the situation u~less the City would care to assist the
School Board in paying the above insurance. Mr. Lauderbach, however, stated that it was
his opinion that the School Board could not m~ke insurance payments upon property leased
to another party but by canselling the lease to ~r. Brown he felt that the School Roax~
would be willing the assume the said insu~ance with the hope that the City would be will-
ing to assist them in the future. Cl. ~Owe stated that he felt that inasZauch as the City
has apprOpriated $250.00 for development of the park and assumed the cost of the lighting
expanse that the School Board should ass~m~ the liability insurance cost. It was also
pointed out by Mr. ?~nderbach an~ members of the Council that the recreational facilities
should be made available to all school children and not confined so much to adults or to
teams that are representing concerns that have bee~ pla~ing there. It was alSo suggest-
ed that a~ attempt be made to obtain from the S. R. A. a man to help patrol the grounds
and keep the children inside the park. M~. Davies informed the Council that it was his
opinion that the School Board would prObably be willing to take out the insurance and
work out with the City some method of cooperation for sharing expenses this co~ing year.
0bier Kelly stated that as a result of the recreation park delinquency had no doubt been
greatly reduced.
AD.T~: Upon motion by Cl. HOwe, seconded by Cl. T~mmons, ~ich carried,
