within the National Forest Service boundary and to acquire
property for the debris basin.
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.

properties were originally included in the proposed Community
Facilities District No. 995. However, one of the parcels is
being subdivided by Monnig Development, Inc. Since most of the

description of the improvements were inadvertently omitted from
the legal advertising, therefore, it will be necessary for the
public hearing to be continued.

BERNARDINO
ABANDONED
(35)
Ed Butterworth, representing Fedco, explained his objections
to this resolution.
City Administrator Julian explained how the program would
work. He stated that the shopping carts would be picked up only
if in the public's right-of-way, as they could create a potential
liability to the City.
Mr. Butterworth stated that Fedco has an enforcement program
for picking up its shopping carts and that Fedco is not creating
the problem of abandoned shopping carts.
A discussion ensued regarding establishing a program to
allow Fedco to pick up the shopping carts before the City does.
Mayor Holcomb recommended that the City establish a pick up
time for the area around Fedco. This would allow Fedco
sufficient time to have its shopping carts picked up. He
suggested that this be done administratively.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Reilly, that said resolution be adopted.

Water System
(41)
In a memorandum dated April 20, 1990, Mayor Holcomb stated
that in 19B4, the Council requested the Municipal Water Board to
acquire the private water system which was serving the Delmann
Heights area. The reason for the Council's request was poor
quality of water service and the seriously deteriorated
condition of the water mains and related system infrastructure.
The water system was acquired through eminent domain in which the
East Valley Water District also participated by condemning the
Southern California Water System in the Highland area.
Mayor Holcomb recommended that staff investigate an
alternative solution for the acquisition costs of the Delmann
Heights Water System upgrade and that, it be continued to the next
Council meeting.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the costs for
acquisition of the Delmann Heights Water system facility be
continued to June 4, 1990, in the Council Chambers of City Hall,

one of the heirs of the estate of Thelma Brinkley. He requested

City Attorney Penman stated that state law requires that a

ordinance would be inconsistent.
The Council discussed the pros and cons of using the one-map
system as opposed to the two-map system in the General Plan.

RECONSIDERATION PROVIDE WATER SERVICE OUTSIDE
CORPORATE LIMITS OF CITY - TEN ACRE PARCEL ADJACENT AND
NORTHEAST OF THE INTERSECTION OF PALM AVENUE AND CAJON
BLVD. - CONTINUED FROM MAY 7, 1990
This is the time and place continued to for reconsideration
of previous action taken on January 22, 1990, to provide water
service outside corporate limits of the City to a ten-acre parcel
adjacent and northeast of the intersection of Palm Avenue and
Cajon Boulevard. (40)
26
5/21/90
At the meeting of January 22, 1990, the Council authorized
water service outside the corporate limits of the City at Palm
Avenue and Cajon Boulevard, subject to review and approval of
conditions imposed by the County of San Bernardino for the
development of this project.
In a memorandum dated April 26, 1990, Council Member Tom
Minor, stated that the authorization for water service outside
City boundaries in the vicinity of Palm and Cajon Boulevard,
requires further investigation. The property involved is
surrounded by the City on three sides, and the area should
logically be within San Bernardino City limits. This is an
environmental impact situation in which the City should assure
compatibility with surrounding acreage and development.
Mayor Holcomb gave the background that resulted in the
decision to reconsider providing water service to this particular
ten-acre parcel in the Verdemont area. He also elaborated on the
reasons why the City should not reconsider its previous action,
and made several points regarding the safety and necessity of
this project.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR JULIAN RETURNED
City Administrator Julian returned to the Council meeting.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the proposal to
provide water service outside the corporate limits of the City at
the northeast portion of Palm Avenue and Cajon Boulevard be
reconsidered.
The Council discussed the land use designation for this
parcel and its annexation into the City.
A discussion ensued regarding the manner in which hazardous
chemicals would be transported and the type of wastes being
transported.
City Attorney Penman advised the Council that until the City
knows approximately how much USPCI has spent on the project, the
City should not take any further action. He requested
clarification from USPCI, as to how much has been spent on the
project since Council approval.
Martin Smith, Regional General Manager, West Coast
Operations, USPCI, answered questions regarding the amount spent
on the project subsequent to Council's action on January 22,
1990. He stated that approximately $60,000 to $70,000 has been
spent on the project and gave an estimate of $2.5 million for the
total cost of the project to become fully operational, provided
that the City does provide water. Mr. Smith explained that the
company has gone beyond the original design to underline the
27
5/21/90
property with a liner material. He further stated that the
company is not desirous at this point to drill a well to produce
water or to truck in water for the facility. Mr. Smith
explained why USPCI preferred this site.
Herb Wessel, Acting General Manager, Water Department, spoke
