planning depended more on political or
Council will and determination, then it
did on technical programs. He continued,
policies that appeared technically
feasible may not be politically accep-
table. He felt that Council leadership,
to prepare Council to negotiate necessary
to translate the technical solutions into
acceptable solutions.
He complimented the Parking Place
Commission on their work, however felt
that there should be a study session to
pursue other options that would enhance
Grand Avenue, rather than taking any
action tonight.
Councilman Haffey stated that if the
Council was not going to take action this
evening, then no further testimony should
be given.
Councilman Addiego questioned, if the
Parking Place Commission was aware of Mr.
Gonzales' concerns.
Administrative Services Officer Fernekes
stated that Mr. Gonzales and Mr.
Dell'Angela had expressed their concerns
over what would happen to the vehicles at
the 4/88 meeting of the Parking Place
Commission, however the Commission felt
there was more need for parking and to
move ahead.
Mr. David Gonzales, President of So. City
Ford, stated that his dealership had been
in business since 1917, and paid in
excess of $100,000 in sales and property
tax a year to the City.
He stated that the proposal to convert
the Cypress and Miller land into a
parking lot would severely affect, in a
very negative way, the operation of his
dealership because it was sorely needed
for the storage of the serviced vehicles.
He stated that So. City Ford had been
hopeful of purchasing this lot from the
de Benedetti family if and when it

became available, unfortunately
threatened by the City with condemnation
it was sold to the City. He suggested
the following options: purchase of the
land from the City; swap another piece of
land for the property; enter into a long
term lease with the City or do anything
to stay in business.
He stated that the parking lot next to
the Sun Dial and the metered street
parking was adequate in parking for the
area. He urged the Council to allow him
to meet with the City on this matter and
postpone action on the item; and rescind
Mr. Fernekes' notice of termination of
his lease with the City until the matter
could be resolved.
Discussion followed: complements on the
So. City Ford operations in this City;
that the parking was not adequate in the
area; alternatives of parking for the
operation; that the City lot allowed a
display of vehicles for the business;
that the lot had not been purchased by
the City in 1985 to lease to So. City
Ford; that a study had been done on
parking in 1984 which had defined the
need for parking in the downtown; that
the business did 500 repair orders a
month; that Mr. Gonzales had purchased an
adjacent lot, etc.
Mayor Drago related the following time
perspective: 11/86 Parking Place
Commission authorized purchase of the
lot; 4/87 Council authorized purchase;
6/8/87 the lot was conveyed to the City;
6/13/87 City leased the lot to So. City
Ford; 3/88 they received the first letter
to vacate the premises.
He spoke of a letter from the Merchants
questioning when the lot would be ready
for use. He also questioned what purpose
further discussions would serve.
Mr. Dell'Angela stated that perhaps there
were other options to explore.

Staff Report - Continued.
Councilman Haffey stated that the City
would probably meter the lot or effect a
parking enforcement which would not
enhance its use for commuters.
He stated that one of the top priorities
of the 100 and 200 block of Grand Avenue
was more parking, and he felt the expen-
diture was a very prudent one.
Vice Mayor Teglia stated that Mr.
Dell'Angela's client had two years of the
lot's use, and questioned the time ele-
ment of the notice of eviction.
Administrative Services Officer Fernekes
stated that the notice was for 9/30/88
for vacation of the lot.
Mr. Dell'Angela again questioned: where
the cars could move to in close proximi-
ty; that the Zoning Ordinance did not
allow storage of vehicles in that area.
Vice Mayor Teglia questioned why a
variance had not been requested.
Councilman Addiego stated that ample
notice had been given, and suggested
Council act on this to allow time to sit
down with Mr. Gonzales and effect a
solution before a bid was accepted.
M/S Haffey/Teglia - To adopt the
Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 115-88
Councilman Nicolopulos stated that the
lot had been purchased for parking, that
Mr. Gonzales had the opportunity to lease
it, however, he would prefer multiple
parking on the lot - rather than a single
story.
Councilman Addiego suggested that he and
Councilman Nicolopulos sit down with Mr.
Gonzales and address the zoning concerns.
Parking Place Commissioner Welker stated
that if the lunchtime crunch could not
find parking, they would not come back to

the area. He stated that various alter-

nue, such as decking the lot and leasing
the top to So. City Ford. He stated that
over the past year and one-half the
Commission had sold more parking permits
