declaration for Public Works Project No. 89-47 was recommended
for adoption by the Environmental Review Committee. A 21-day
public review period was afforded and a letter was received from
Frank Tracadas, 463 N. Sierra Way. Mr. Tracadas objected to the
proposed vacation, indicating that traffic studies, noise studies
and air quality studies need to be completed before the negative
declaration could be adopted. (12)
An addendum to the initial study was prepared addressing Mr.
Tracadas concerns and was brought back before the Environmental
Review Committee. The Committee found that the proposed vacation
would not have a significant impact on the environment and voted
to re-affirm its original recommendation.
Frank Tracadas, owner of a commercial business building at
463 North Sierra Way, San Bernardino, spoke in opposition to the
proposed vacation of a portion of Lugo Avenue, north of 4th
Street. He stated that at the present time he has closed off his
exits from Lugo Avenue because of through traffic. If Lugo is
closed and made into a cul-de-sac and his business is expanded
along the north property line, traffic would have to enter his
property to make a u-turn. He requested that Lugo Avenue remain
a through street.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer,
explained that in the first application, a connector road was
proposed between Lugo Avenue out to Sierra Way. However, the
applicant, San Bernardino County Employee's Credit Union, was not
in agreement with that solution. He stated that the San
Bernardino County Employee Credit Union submitted an application
proposing that Lugo Avenue be vacated and be made into a cul-de-
sac. Mr. Hardgrave gave the background of the events that have
occurred regarding this proposed vacation of Lugo Avenue.
13
4/16/90
A discussion ensued regarding the negative declaration and
the finding that the vacation of Lugo Avenue is consistent with
the General Plan.
Larry Sharp, representative of the San Bernardino County
Employee's Credit Union, stated that the credit union is
requesting the vacation of a portion of Lugo Avenue, which is a
one block street between Seccombe Lake Park and 4th Street. He
stated that Mr. Tracadas has had his back property fenced off for
about eight years and has not had access. He explained that the
vacation is important, due to the fact that the San Bernardino
County Employee's Credit Union has plans to build a project. The
construction of this project would substantially improve the
value of Mr. Tracadas property.
Following a discussion, Council Member Estrada made a
motion, seconded by Council Member Flores and unanimously
carried, that the finding of consistency with the circulation
element of the General Plan and the negative declaration for
Public Works Project No. 89-47, vacation of a portion of Lugo
Avenue, north of 4th Street, be continued to May 7, 1990, in the
Council Chambers of City Hall, 300 North "D" Street, San
Bernardino, California.

received a petition requesting the formation of an assessment
district for the maintenance of front yard setbacks adjacent to
all public streets within Tentative Tract No. 13307. The
assessment would include all maintenance costs and related
administrative costs. The signatures affixed on the petition
have been checked and were found to represent the owners of 100
percent of the area of the property lying within the proposed
boundaries of the district to be assessed for the proposed
maintenance. (15)
Roger Hardgrave, City Engineer, answered questions regarding
the approximate cost of the assessment against each property over
the years. He also explained how the assessment district program
would work for the maintenance of front yard landscaping.
A discussion ensued regarding the blight ordinance in effect
and how it relates to this proposed assessment district.

Dale Pickert, Simon Equipment, 1897 Mt. Vernon, San
Bernardino, spoke in opposition to infilling the driveway and
constructing a curb and gutter at 1897 Mt. Vernon. He stated

at 1424 West Walnut.
Larry Reed, Director of Planning/Building Services, referred
to his memorandum dated April 16, 1990, regarding inspection of
the property located at 1424 West Walnut. He stated that the
site is zoned RU (residential urban). However, much of the
surrounding area is zoned IH (industrial heavy) and IL (light
industrial) . The most appropriate type of zoning, based on
proximity to railroads and current land use, would be industrial.
The building itself is only 550 square feet and is an
outmoded building. To rehabilitate the house would cost
approximately $21,000 to $26,000. Therefore, it is recommended
that permission not be granted to rehabilitate this house and

work completed at the property at 718 1/2 West 7th Street, which
is the house to rear of the property. He also elaborated on the
circumstances surrounding his appeal. He requested that the
Board of Building Commissioners' findings be modified to allow an
inspection of the electrical work completed.
Pat Zimmermann, Deputy City Attorney, explained that the
appeal does not deal with the second building. The appeal before
the Council today concerns the structural work being conducted
without permits and the fact that while the structural work was
in progress the building was occupied by tenants. She further
stated that Mr. Henschel was requested to submit plans for the
work being proposed before any structural work can continue. As
of today he has not submitted any plans for approval.
The Council discussed the testimony presented by Mr.
Henschel.
Mayor Holcomb stated that without approved plans, no permits
can be issued. Therefore, any previous permits issued without
approved plans are invalid.

Member Flores and unanimously carried, that the hearing be
closed; that the decision of the Board of Building Commissioners'
be upheld, and the appeal be denied.

(45)
In a memorandum dated November 17, 1989, the Fire Department

Service Fee" to any person that is treated for emergency medical
care by the San Bernardino City Fire Department and transported
by ambulance to a medical facility.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO SETTING

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO TO AUTHORIZE
THE COLLECTION OF FEES FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES.
(45)
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.
Gerald M. Newcombe, Acting Fire Chief, stated that
emergency medical calls are increasing by nine percent a year.
Initially the Fire Department was able to provide this service at
relatively low costs, but over the years the emergency medical
program has expanded, the cost of equipment has increased, and
more medical equipment is required to provide advanced life
support services.
Acting Fire Chief Newcombe answered questions regarding the
proposed emergency medical service fees being covered by Medicare
and other private medical insurance companies. He also answered
questions regarding the process for collecting the fees.
Nancy Minor, Office on Aging in San Bernardino County,
emphasized that this emergency medical fee would have a
tremendous impact on the senior citizens because of their fixed
income. She also stated that most seniors are on Medicare and
this fee may not be covered.
Gerald Newcombe, Acting Fire Chief, estimated the average
cost to be $199.88 per call. He stated that the proposed fee was
based on an average fee to determine a set fee. The proposed
charge for emergency medical services is $130 to city residents
and $180 for a non-residents.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Reilly, that said resolution be adopted; and the ordinance
be laid over for final passage.

the City must establish approximately $5 million in new revenue.

paramedic services to the unincorporated areas.

seconded by Council Member Maudsley, to reconsider the resolution

north of Waterman Avenue, to a proposed easement, then easterly
to the southerly edge of the parcels. The first alternative
location would require considerable filling. The second
alternative appears to be practical. Ordinance MC-663, Section
B-1, allows the Mayor and Council to approve a sewer connection
waiver when a proposed single family development is on a lot
larger than 1/2 acre and a natural obstruction prevents the
practical extension of the sewer system to the project. Staff
does not feel the subject properties qualify for a waiver under
this criteria and recommend denial. (50)
John Powers, 750 East Arrowhead Road, San Bernardino, gave
the background of his request for a sewer waiver to connect to
the City's sewer system. He referred to a previous request to
waive the sewer connection fees for the property located at 435
Arrowhead Road in which the waiver was granted. He also answered
questions of the Council.

Senior Assistant City Attorney Barlow pointed out that a
street or highway is not a natural obstruction so the Council
does not have to approve a sewer connection waiver. However, if
the Council desires, staff may amend the ordinance and allow a
city street or highway to be considered as a natural obstruction
which would give the Council authority to grant the sewer
waiver.
It was recommended that guidelines be established indicating
how many property lots and how many homes can be build in this
area that might require sewer service and that a proration be
considered for future requirements.
Roger Hardgrave answered questions regarding possibly
obtaining an easement through adjacent property owned by the
County Flood Control south of the proposed sewer to reduce the
costs. He stated that the County Flood Control sells easements
at market value.
It was recommended that the Public Works Director be
directed to develop a equitable formula for this property to pay
his fair share for building the sewer and allow temporary use of
the septic tanks until full funding can be obtained for the
extending sewer line.
Council Member Flores made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Reilly and unanimously carried, that the request for a
waiver of sewer connection fees be continued to May 7, 1990, and
the City Engineer was instructed to come back with a recommended
solution for this request.
CITY OF HIGHLAND -
TO COVER COST OF
ATLANTIC AVENUE TO
CHANNEL
In a memorandum dated April 3, 1990, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, explained the engineering
provisions included in the proposed Storm Drain Master Plan. He
stated that Caltrans agreed to include this storm drain in their
contract for the freeway, if the funds can be provided to
finance the estimated cost of $ll9,000. At the Council meeting
of September 2l, 1987, the recommendation from the Ways and Means
Committee that the City participate in the amount of $ll9,000 was
approved. An amount of $ll9,000 was approved in the 1988/89
Storm Drain Construction Fund Budget under Account No. 248-368-
57826. (51)
REQUEST FOR UPFRONTING OF $63,617-
ACQUISITION OF STORM DRAIN FROM
HIGHLAND AVENUE FOR SMALL CANYON
In a letter, David Barakian, City Engineer, City of Highland,
stated that the City of Highland does not presently have
sufficient funds to finance the acquisition of the necessary
right-of-way. Mr. Barakian proposed that the City of San
Bernardino upfront the funds for acquisition of the right-of-way.
27
4/16/90
The City of Highland has adopted Storm Drain Development Impact
Fees, which would provide a revenue stream to repay the funds
advanced.
Mayor Holcomb stated that the City of Highland has requested
that the City of San Bernardino advance on their behalf $63,617
to cover the cost of the acquisition of the right-of-way.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer,
answered questions regarding the effect the Patton Park project
would have if the funds were advanced for the storm drain. He
also stated that there should be a time limit set for
reimbursement of the funds.
A discussion ensued regarding requlrlng a timely payback
provision with interest in the agreement.
Roger Hardgrave also answered questions regarding the time
frame for the Patton Park golf course project.
Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the request from
the City of Highland for $63,167 to be up fronted to cover the
acquisition cost for a 48-inch storm drain from Atlantic Avenue
to Highland Avenue for Small Canyon Channel, be approved; the
Director of Public Works/City Engineer be directed to negotiate
an appropriate cooperative agreement; and that the request be
granted subject to the City Engineer negotiating a payment
agreement that would require interest and payback in time for
construction of the Patton storm drain project.
Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the transfer of
$63,617, from Account No. 248-368-57822, "M P Drain 6-22, N/O
Patton Hospital," to Account No. 248-368-57840, "R-O-W costs, 48-
inch storm drain for Small Canyon Channel, be approved.
FORECAST CORPORATION PARTICIPATION IN COST OF
CONSTRUCTING MASTER PLAN STORM DRAIN 7-B18 IN "H"
STREET FROM LITTLE MOUNTAIN BASIN TO TRACT NO. 13554
In a memorandum dated April 3, 1990, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that a hearing was
held at the Council meeting of September 18, 1989, regarding the
Planning Commission's decision to require an environmental impact
report for Tentative Tract No. 13554. This appeal was upheld
subject to certain conditions, one of which concerned the
construction of storm drains, expanded to include: 56th Street
to Little Mountain debris basis along "H" Street; from "H: Street
to "I" Street along Northpark Boulevard; and along "F" Street.
28
4/16/90
Mr. Hardgrave further explained details of the planned storm
drains. Nine bids were received by Forecast Corporation.
Forecast Corporation is requesting that an amount, equivalent to
the storm drain fees paid, be allocated as the City's
participation in the cost of constructing this storm drain
system. (52)
Roger Hardgrave, City Engineer, answered questions regarding
the estimated amount that would be reimbursed from the storm
drain fees. He stated that Forecast Corporation is asking that
the $294,580 paid from fees be used to help construct the storm
drain.
Roger Hardgrave explained that the low bid by Bonadiman-
McCain was $922.069.24. Forecast is asking that the storm drain
fees required by resolution be applied back toward the cost of
the storm drain to in fact reimburse Forecast for their cost.
This would reduce the expenditure for the storm drain work from
$922,060.24 to $627,489.24. He also recommended that Council
approve the oversized pipe instead of the pipe size recommended
in the Storm Drain Master Plan.
Chris Faber, Forecast Corporation, stated that the total
cost of the storm drain is approximately $922,060.24.
Approximately $294,580 in storm drain fees is to be collected.
He also answered questions regarding the use of the oversized
piping and explained why it should be used.
A discussion ensued regarding the requirements of the Master
Plan Storm Drain.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the request from
the Forecast Corporation, that the City participate in the cost
of installing Master Plan Storm Drain 7-B18 in "H" Street, from
Little Mountain Basin to Northpark Boulevard, and other required
storm drain improvements, to the extent of the storm drain fees
paid by Tract No. 13554, ($294,580), be approved, subject to the
execution of an agreement to provide that the City's
participation be allocated in equal amount in the 1990/91 and
1991/92 Storm Drain Construction Fund Budget and paid as storm
drain fees are collected; and that the bid for oversizing be
accepted.

In a memorandum dated April 11, 1990, Annie Ramos, Director
of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, stated that the
Inland Empire Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has requested the use
of Nunez Park for their annual Cinco de Mayo Fiesta. The Chamber
estimates that approximately 50,000 local area citizens attended
the three-day fiesta in 1989. The use of Nunez Park requires
that equipment such as picnic tables, trash cans, bleachers,
barricades and other various related items be added to the park.
All this requires the use of City forces, and includes
additional man hours of the Police Department. The Chamber has
requested that the fees and manpower costs incurred by the City
be waived. (S-6)

Member Flores and unanimously carried, that utilization of City
crews and equipment and City police personnel for assisting the
