OTHER BUSINESS MAC FORMATION Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, said that he would be attending the meeting of the Board of Supervisors where the formation of the MAC by the County residents is being heard. The resolution is vague as to'the bound- aries and Supervisor Miller is suggesting that they not have a vote. Mike Brotemarkle, Community DevelOpment Director, reported that he under- stood that the item may be pulled from the agenda. BANNING OF FIREWORKS Councilman Welsh reported that all the Council had received correspondence regarding banning of fireworks and he would like for. the item to be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. Because there are many groups such as the Boy ScOuts that would want to be heard, it was the concensus of the Council that a Public Hearing be agen- dized for the September 4th meeting for the intent to ban the sale and discharge of fireworks, PROPOSED SOUTH COUNTY NATIONAL PARK Councilwoman Kennedy asked that consideration of support for the proposed South County National Park be agendized for the next meeting. PHYSICALS FOR EMPLOYEES Councilwoman Kennedy asked what firm was doing the physicals for the employees and whether they were mandatory or optional. Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, responded that these physicals were included in the budget and that it was a program for all employees to take the physicals. This was invisioned to be mandatory but the Employees' Association has asked to confer about this and we have changed it to a permissive program until we have conferred with them. He said that the Personnel Director had studied various alternatives and found that we could get a better physical from an Industrial Clinic on Red Hill Avenue which specializes in industrial physicals, workman's compensation physicals, etc. CouncilwOman Kennedy requested a report with more information about the clinic and the physicals. PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS Councilwoman Kennedy asked if staff is still getting psychological evaluations on employees. Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, responded that we are getting them on Policemen and Department Heads. COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAROLING VIOLATIONS Councilwoman Kennedy advised that she had received complaints from residents about receiving parking tickets for parking a few feet over their own drive- ways. They were very upset that the Police had time to ticket in front of one's own driveway but did not have time to follow up on complaints in the industrial area. COUNCIL MINUTES page 6, 8-6-79 ODORS IN COMMERCIAL AREA Councilwoman Kennedy reported that she had had about 5 complaints against the Fricker Company for very strong odors from chlorine and ammonia on Newport Avenue. Dan Blankenship, City Administrator, stated that he and Mike Brotemarkle, Community Development Director, had discussed this matter earlier in the day and perhaps a nuisance ordinance should be introduced that would enable the City to cite a violator at the time of the violation. RELOCATION RIGHTS FOR MOBILE HOME OWNERS Councilwoman Kennedy brought up that three mobile home owners have not moved from the Mobile Home Park on First Street and that the Jansvu Corp. has not extended to them the same relocation rights that they did to others. Councilman Welsh commented that he remembered Jansvu making a verbal conunit- ment for relocation of tenants and he suggested that when developers make verbal commitments, they be included in writing in the conditions for the Use Permit. Mike Brotemarkle, Community Development Director, offered to look into this matter in connection with the problems in condo conversions. Council concurred to send a letter to Jansvu Corp. asking them to extend to the three remaining tenants the same relocation rights as they extended to the other tenants. This letter is to be written after staff has deter- mined all the facts in the matter. MEDICAL COVERAGE FOR EMPLOYEES Councilman Saltarelli pointed out that the medical coverage for employee dependents has been changed and he requested that changes such as these should be forwarded to the Council prior to the time of change. AUTOMATIC MEDICAL RETIREMENT Councilman Saltarelli addressed the need for legislation at the State level that would change the law about automatic medical retirement. He said that this was becoming a rip off and that it should be stopped. Councilman Welsh asked that staff initiate a resolution to this effect that would be presented to the League of Cities. VOTING DELEGATE AND ALTERNATE FOR LEAGUE OF CITIES CONFERENCE Councilman Saltarelli brought up that a Voting delegate and alternate needed to be appointed for the League of Cities Conference. Council concurred that Councilman Welsh should be the voting delegate and Councilman Sharp the alternate. VIII.
