* City Attorney J. Bruce Aycock arrived at this time replacing
the Assistant City Attorney, Bob Coffin.
There was some discussion on item "k". Mr. Gulley said that the
City has allocated a certain amount in the budget for insurance but with this
second excess liabilities that the City would be going over the budget. Mr.
Townsend assured him that this could be paid off in a three-year period. Mr. Gulley
recommended that the Insurance Advisory Committee come before the next workshop
meeting and give them more information. Motion by de Ases, seconded by Gulley
and passed that item "k" be tabled for one week so that members of the Insurance
Advisory Committee come before the Council and give them information as to how
much insurance is needed and how the Advisory Committee works.
Mayor Luby called for anyone from the audience who would like to speak
regarding the City Manager's Reports.
* Mr. Bill•Sweetland, developer of the People's Alley Project for the
downtown area spoke in opposition relative to item "1". Mr. Sweetland is very
much against the palm trees and feel shade trees should be planted and would
require no more care than the palm trees. Mr. Sweetland asked why palm trees
has been recommended. Mr. Townsend said that the "Park" people had looked very
carefully into this and felt palm trees have the best chance for survival in a
concrete enclosed environment causing the fewest root and growth problems for
the surrounding sidewalks and buildings. Palms require very little care, are
not a large foliage, and do not cause obstruction.
Mrs. Irene Martinez asked if some nursery had been contacted and gotten
their opinion as to what would be more ideal. She too agrees with Mr. Sweetland
that shade trees should be planted.
Mr. Dean Flinn, 917 Buffalo, introduced himself and said they are looking
at two or three major restaurants coming up in that area and that he is very
much against the palm trees because palm trees harbor roaches. According to
Mr. Flinn, palm trees will die too, if given too much water.
Mr. Pat Harrison introduced himself and said he is very much in favor
of shade trees -- pak, tallows, any shade tree.
Mr. Sweetland added that their idea is to change the whole image of
that area by giving it a different atmosphere and better environment. Hewes
asked by Mayor Pro Tem Tipton when they planned to open for business and Mr.

Sweetland answered by saying they would like to open in about ten days. He
further added they were not going to have a grand opening just a grand beginning.
Mr. Sweetland asked the Council to postpone item "i" for one week so
that he can come up with a study that shade trees would work. The Council agreed
to change the date to receive bids to June 29 instead of the recommended date of
June 22 giving Mr. Sweetland one week to provide additibnal information.
Motion by de Ases, seconded by Sample and passed that the City Manager's
Reports be adopted, and items "a" through "m" with Mayor Luby voting "nay" on
item "d" -- item "k" tabled for 1 week -- be granted, approved and adopted as

in Block 10, Ocean View Addition. Spohn Hospital is the owner of the entire
block and plans to use the property for additional buildings. AJI affected
departments concur. No utilities except an abandoned gas line are located in
the alley.
Mrs. Nicholas Di Maffi of 1611 Ocean Drive spoke in opposition to the
request. She said the hospital wanted too much and were not being fair to the
surrounding property owners on that street as they did not have access to the
alley.
Mr. John Matson representative for Spohn Hospital and on behalf of
Mr. Wakefield who could not attend introduced himself and stated that the hospital
had acquired all of the property which is all of block 10 and would like to
utilize the alley by building a parking garage over it plus an office building.

all within the bounds of their property.
Motion by de Ases, seconded by Lozano and passed unanimously that the
}searing be closed.

.Mr..Henry Ayala spoke on his behalf stating that,the'Emergency Room ,
,, •
entrance to Memorial Hospital 1son Buford Street and presents a problem if both
"he and his employees, park their cars on the street leaving'not much room for
'traffic. Mr. Ayala further 'stated that cars parked there are not kept for long.
He said he plans to'build a real nice home of over $40,000 next door to the lot

be a good idea since he may have trouble landscaping when his home is finished.
Motion by Lozano, seconded. by de Ases and passed unanimously that the
hearing be closed.,
Councilmember:de Ases asked what the expense would be for adding the
slats to the fence Mr. Ayala now has and he was told that it would be around

on the amphitheater should have been used for police patrolling instead. She
