health problems she is living in a homeless shelter. Ns. Lyles
explained that many shelters only accept families, not
individuals, or may require a person to leave the shelter every
day in search of employment. She expressed her concerns that
perceptions of homeless people are often inaccurate, in that many
are simply experiencing a time of extreme hard luck.

ROAD WESTERLY OF LITTLE LEAGUE DRIVE - J. N. BEELER &
ASSOCIATES (10)
In a memorandum dated October 18, 1990, Roger G. Hardgrave,

the requirement to connect to the City's sewer system. The

steep hill west of the creek precludes the practical extension of
a sewer line to serve this development. Therefore, it is
recommended that the request for a waiver be approved.

Member Reilly, and unanimously carried, that Sewer Waiver Request
No. 90-5, for construction of one single family house on an
existing parcel located on Neyers Road, westerly of Little League

development in the project area.

Shauna Edwins, City Administrator, answered questions
regarding the possible impact on City funds, because of the
recession, if the properties were not sold, the houses were not
built, and who would be responsible for paying the bonds. She
explained that presently, the property owner is the developer
and when each house is sold, the property owner becomes an
individual home owner. However, if a property were to go into
foreclosure, or if the property were not sold, the cost would
become a lien against the property. Ms. Edwins explained that
the City is not backing the bonds and would not be held liable
for the bonds.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Minor, that said resolution be adopted.

PUBLIC MEETING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ON-SITE
PLAN CHECK AND INSPECTION FEES AND DELETION OF THE
LANDSCAPE PLAN REVIEW FEE. (31)
This is the time and place set for the public meeting
regarding the amendment of on-site plan check and inspection
fees and revision of Municipal Code Ordinance No. 669 deleting
the landscape plan review fees.
In a memorandum dated October 3, 1990, Roger G. Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works /Ci ty Engineer, stated that in June of
1983, the Council adopted Resolution No. 83-201 which set a fixed
fee for landscape plan review. This fee has since been revised
as part of an update of fees collected by the City. Presently,
the fee is $100.
In July of 1985, the Council adopted a resolution providing
for on-site plan check and inspection, which made it possible for
the Public Works inspection staff to provide inspection outside
the public right-of-way for on-site improvements. Originally
established as a calculated fee based on footages of
improvements, the resolution was amended in August of 1988 to
become a percentage of the construction costs. Plan check was
set at 0.30% and permit inspection set at 0.25% of the estimated
cost of the improvements. These figures were selected to
approximate the then current charges and did not reflect the
actual costs of providing the service. Resolution No. 88-284
sets forth that shortages shall be made up out of the General
Fund.
At the present time fees for the plan check are 2% and
inspection for off-site improvements are 1.5%. These fees were
established at the "average" of surrounding cities in 1987, and
represent approximately 35-40% recovery of actual costs
incurred.
Mayor Holcomb opened the meeting.

REQUEST TO ADDRESS MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL RELATIVE TO
INCREASE IN BUSINESS LICENSE FEES - COSMETOLOGISTS AND
BARBERS. (32)
A request to address the Council was received from
cosmetologists and barbers regarding the recent increase in
business license fees.
Ns. Kathy Weathers, of the Trendsetter Salon, 1454 East
Highland, San Bernardino, stated that she represents small
business owners requesting that business license fees be charged
at a flat rate and not based on gross receipts. Ms. Weathers
suggested that an optional method of increasing the business
license rates would be to require barbers and cosmetologists who
operate their own businesses to have a license, and require the
owners of chain or commission salons to purchase a business
license and pay an additional fee for each station where an
employee "lOrks.

AGREEMENT WITH NAACP REGARDING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
(35)
Mr. Willie Clark, President, San Bernardino Branch Office of
the NAACP, stated that in the fall of 1988, the NAACP, San
Bernardino Branch, and the City of San Bernardino agreed to
participate in a series of mediation sessions to address issues
and proposals regarding relations between police and minority
citizens. Convening and leading these discussions was a Senior
Regional Mediator frcm the Community Relations Service (CRS),
U.S. Department of Justice. Mr. Clark requested approval of the
14
11/5/90
agreement so that
provisions of the
certain portions of
it can be implemented and progress with
Shoot Review Board. Mr. S::;lark explained
the agreement and answered questions.
In a memorandum dated August 28, 1990, Dennis A. Barlow,
Senior Assistant City Attorney, questioned whether the Mediation
Agreement entered into between the San Bernardino Branch of the
NAACP and the City by the Nayor and the Police Chief in October
31, 1989, is an enforceable agreement.
In his memorandum Mr. Barlow stated that although executed
by the Mayor and the Chief of Police, the Agreement was never
approved by the Council. He explained that the Charter does not
include powers to independently enter into agreements which bind
the City and clearly anticipates Council action on contracts.
89-26
1989.
Attached to Mr. Barlow's memorandum was Legal Opinion No.
addressed to Captain Daniel A. Robbins dated August 17,
Mr. Barlow stated that the City Attorney's Office supports
the agreement, however, there are several items of concern that
should be brought to the Council's attention: 1) that the
agreement is not legally enforceable in court even if it receives
Council approval; 2) that the language is vague and indefinite
throughout the agreement, which is appropriate for a cooperative
agreement of this type; 3) there are no enforcement provisions
contained in the agreement other than a monitoring program; and
4) the City Attorney's Office recommends against placing private
citizens on the Shoot Review Board from a liability standpoint.
Mr. Barlow answered questions relative to the Mediation
Agreement.
Mayor Holcomb explained how the agreement was reached and
stressed that the agreement is an administrative policy
procedure and is not a legally binding agreement.
Daniel Robbins, Chief of Police, stated that since the
agreement was signed there have been several provisions which
have been implemented. He also stated that there are ongoing
meetings and continual monitoring of the agreement and that the
Police Department is addressing concerns raised in the
negotiation process. Chief Robbins stated he believes the
agreement to be a administrative police procedure.

In a memorandum dated October 18, 1990, Thelma Press,
Liaison for the Fine Arts Commission, stated that the Parks,
Recreation and Community Services Department had budgeted in the
current budget for a permanent new position of facilities manager
to be filled by Harold Luther. His previous position has been
funded by the Fine Arts Commission for two years. An assistant
to the Fine Arts Coordinator, Nr. Luther has been a valuable
asset to the operation of Sturges Center.
Since the request was denied because of budget cuts,
application was made to the Fine Arts Commission, which also
denied the request, as it was felt this was not proper use of
Fine Arts Funds. (See also discussion on page 18, item 40)
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Reilly, that the status report relative to funding for a
staff position at the Sturges Center for the Fine Arts be
received and filed; and that funding for the staff position of

problems and should Proposition 136 be passed by the voters on
November 6, 1990.
Shauna Edwins, City Administrator, spoke regarding item 37,
a request for funding for a staff position a't Sturges Center for
the Fine Arts. She explained that the extreme shortage of funds
available in the account for this purpose is due to the decline
in issuing permits for commercial buildings due to the recession.
At this time, there is only $14,000 in the account, although
$300,000 had been set aside in the budget to provide for fine
arts programs. The only funding that has been allocated is for
the item that was approved today for the individual at Sturges.
(See page 17, for action taken on item 37)

REQUEST PERMISSION TO REMOVE BILLBOARD AT 237 EAST 5TH
STREET - REPLACE WITH A 42-FOOT BILLBOARD ADJACENT TO
THE I-lO FREEWAY AT 464 EAST REDLANDS BOULEVARD-
CONTINUED FROM AUGUST 20, 1990 (43)
This is the time and place continued to for discussion of
Conditional Use Permit No. 89-5, removal of a billboard at 237
East 5th Street and replacement with a 42-foot billboard adjacent
to the I-10 Freeway at 464 East Redlands Boulevard.
In an undated memorandum, Larry Reed, Director of
Planning/Building Services, stated that Adams Advertising, under
authority of the San Bernardino Municipal Code 19.60.250 (B) 2,
requests approval of a written agreement to permit the removal of
a billboard to be replaced with another billboard adjacent to
Interstate I-lO. It is further requested to permit a height of
42 feet which exceeds the maximum height allowed by Municipal
Code Section 19.60.250 (1) 3.

this request to remove the billboard sign. He stated that the

COUNCIL NEMBER POPE-LUDLAM EXCUSED
Council Member pope-Ludlam left the Council meeting.
Mitzi Adams, Adams Advertising, 19081 Rocky Road, Santa Ana,
92705, thanked the Council for the numerous continuances received
regarding the billboard sign. She stated since ~he time of th~
original application proposing removal of the two structures on
Fifth Street, a survey was conducted on legal signs within the
City of San Bernardino and the results of the survey were
presented to the Nayor. Ms. Adams stated that approximately ten
facings would be removed from these properties in order to
replace them with one billboard sign along the freeway. Ms.
Adams stated that as a result of a meeting with Mayor Holcomb, it
was learned that a General Plan Amendment would be needed in
order to approve the removal of the billboard sign. Ms. Adams
requested that this matter be tabled until a General Plan
amendment can be filed.
Mayor Holcomb suggested that before filing for a General
Plan amendment, that some policy direction be given from the
Council. He stated that there probably would not be much
excitement about the idea of a General Plan amendment permitting
billboards along the freeway. However, if the program would
require the removal of ten billboard signs from existing
thoroughfares in exchange for the right to install one sign along
the freeway, then he would urge the Council to seriously consider
this proposal. Mayor Holcomb recommended that a policy for
billboard signs along the freeway be established.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Minor, and unanimously carried, that the request for
removal of the billboard at 237 East 5th Street to be replaced
with a 42-foot billboard adjacent to the I-lO Freeway, be tabled.

Attorney.
Ken Henderson, Executive Director of Community Development
Commission/Redevelopment Agency, explained the request from
Kwang-Tae Park to purchase the property at the northwest corner
of Mt. Vernon and 11th Street. Mr. Henderson stated that the
property was appraised at $3.11 a square foot or $72,500 which
includes a value enhancement package. Nr. Henderson recommended
that the property be sold to Kwang-Tae Park for the appraised
value plus some value enhancement.
Jack Kelly, representative of EI Dorado Plaza, stated that
the EI Dorado Plaza project has a total of 3.6 acres. If the
City sells the property, it would be a total of 23,238 square
feet. Mr. Kelly stated that Kwang-Tae Park has talked to
several key tenants about this development and several of the
tenants are interested. He stated that this plaza would provide
a tremendous improvement to the area.
Mr. Kelly answered questions regarding possible tenants
interested in leasing space in the plaza.
Ken Henderson answered questions, stating that this
proposal had been not reviewed by the Redevelopment Committee.

the approximate selling price per square foot of other adjacent
properties.

Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council
Nember Flores, and unanimously carried, to refer the approval of
the sale of City property to Kwang-Tae Park to the Redevelopment
Committee.

Planning Commission approved C.U.P. 89-37 to construct a 2,400
square foot "Yoshinoya Beef Bowl" restaurant in the Pace Center.
The applicant has submitted the application for Variance No. 90-
08, requesting to place signs on all four sides of the approved
restaurant building. General Plan Policy No.1. 45.4 minimizes
signs in private development and the current code restricts the
number and placement of signs.
John Montgomery, Principal Planner, gave tire background of
the appeal filed by the applicant and explained why a variance is
being requested.
Mark Frank of San Pedro Electric Sign Company, representing
Yoshinoya West Incorporated, gave a slide presentation on the
other restaurants owned by the applicant and the different type
of signs at these locations. He depicted the type of wall sign
the applicant is requesting. Nr. Frank explained why this wall
sign is needed for the restaurant.

REORGANIZATION OF CONMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTNENT AND
THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (RS-l)
In a staff report dated November 1, 1990, Ken Henderson,
Executive Director, Community Development /Redevelopment Agency,
stated that the Mayor and Common Council had previously taken
action establishing the Economic Development Agency,

and directing the Acting Agency Administrator and Executive

and to assist in the plan development and implementation phases,
the job descriptions attached to the staff report were prepared
and submitted for review and approval.
Nr. Henderson's report further stated that presently, the
department is operating without a deputy director. In addition,
there are separate personnel, finance, recordkeeping, purchasing
and investment policies and procedures which hinder the efficient
discharge of current responsibilities. In order to begin the
necessary restructuring, it is important that the deputy director
position be filled. Job descriptions have been prepared for
three positions of Acting Agency Administrator, Executive
Director and Deputy Director. A new job description is
absolutely essential to attracting and retaining the level of
talent necessary for a position of this type.
Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Minor, and unanimously carried, that the Nayor and Common
Council and Community Development Commission adopt the job
descriptions for the Economic Development Agency Administrator,
Executive Director of the Community Development
Department/Redevelopment Agency and Deputy Director of the
Community Development Department/Redevelopment Agency attached to
the staff report.
Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by Council
Members Minor, and unanimously carried, that the Mayor and Common
Council and Community Development Commission authorize the
conducting of a salary survey for the positions of Economic
Development Agency Administrator, Executive Director of the
Community Development Department/Redevelopment Agency and Deputy
Director of the Community Development Department/Redevelopment
Agency.
