National City reappoints port commissioner Gil Ungab; council approves pool contract extension and equipment purchases
Summary
Council unanimously reappointed Gil Anthony Ungab as a port commissioner, extended the municipal pool operations contract for two years with a six-month report back on bringing services in house, and approved several consent items including a $296,000 camera van purchase.
The National City Council took several formal actions Wednesday night, including reappointing Gil Anthony Ungab to the Port of San Diego commission, voting to extend a pool-operations contract while directing staff to study in-house options, and approving capital purchases recommended in the consent calendar.
Reappointment: The council reappointed Gil Anthony Ungab to a four-year term as the city's port commissioner. Ungab told the council he would focus on reducing emissions, securing a fair municipal service agreement (MSA), and pursuing an equitable balance plan with port partners. The reappointment was approved by roll call.
Pool contract extension: Council approved a two-year extension of the Exos Community Services LLC contract to operate the Las Palmas pool while directing staff to report back in six months on options for bringing pool operations in house and on program expansions. Seniors and swim-class participants urged the council to preserve instructor-led aquatic classes during the transition; city staff said major renovations are scheduled that will likely require temporary closures for equipment and facility upgrades.
Equipment and other consent votes: Council authorized the purchase of a camera van for engineering and wastewater operations at about $296,000 to replace an existing vehicle, and approved routine warrant registers and capital items on the consent calendar. A second-reading ordinance establishing adjusted speed limits based on engineering studies was adopted without public speakers present.
Councilmembers said they wanted more detailed program information when the pool contract and other vendor agreements return for further discussion; staff will bring a six-month status report as directed.
