ning Director was prepared to present a resume' on the matter for
Council's information.
The Planning Director presented a report concerning the statue, of the
area at the present time, and used a viewgraph to display the prop-
erty under consideration. He informed Council that it was the recom-
mendation of the Planning Department that Block 16 remain within the
total area to assure the formation of an assessment district.
Page #4 - Council Minutes - 1/3/72
The Clerk informed Council that he had received letters in favor of
the proposed assessment district together with some opposing same,
and that in a few weeks, more information would be available concern-
ing the progress the property owners are having in forming the dis-
trict. He also reminded Council that the public hearing on Zone Case
71-20 Area "D" had been continued to March 20, 1972 to allow the prop-
erty owners to initiate an assessment district in that area.
Mrs. Julie Saunders, 17083 Roundhill ]give, City, addressed Council
and stated that the property owners in Block lb favor the proposed
assessment district, but fear the possibility that their property
may be rezoned to Rl if the small lot owners vote against the district.
Mrs. Sally Fuller, 15821 Balsa Chica Street, City, addressed Council
and stated that a change of zoning from R3 to R1 would cause her to
be unable to develop or sell her property, as her land fronted on
Bolsa Chica Street and was unsuited for residential use.
The Clerk read the September 20, 1971, Council Minutes pertaining to
the matter, for Councils information.
Following discussion, Mayor McCracken directed that the matter be tabled.
DEPOSIT FEE = CANDIDATES FOR CITY OFFICE
The Clerk informed Council that they had been provided with copies
of his letter dated December 30, 1971, informing them that the open-
ing date for filing for office in the General Municipal Election will
be January 13, 1972; and that unless the City wishes to assume the
cost of printing the "Statement of Qualifications" for each candidate
desiring same, it would be necessary for the Council to act on the
setting of a deposit fee. He stated that, if Council determines to
establish a deposit fee, as has been done in previous years, charges
be made to each candidate on a pro-rata basis of costs actually incur-
red in the printing, stuffing and mailing of the "Statements."
The Clerk advised Council that in 1970 the deposit fee was $150; how-
ever due to increased costs, he would recommend that such deposit fee,
if made, be set at $175 per candidate with the understanding, that if
actual costs are greater, participating candidates will be billed for
the difference, and if such costs are less, the difference will be
refunded to them.
A motion was made by Councilman Coen, that the City require a deposit
of $175 from candidates for City office in the 1972 General Municipal
Election who desire to have a "Statement of Qualifications" included
in the booklet which goes to every registered voter in the City, and
that charges be made to participating candidates on a pro-rata basis
of costs actually incurred in the printing, stuffing and mailing of
said "Statements." The motion was passed by the following vote:
