fees for services furnished by the City of San Bernardino, and repealing
Resolution No. 2004-58, Resolution No. 97-271, Resolution No. 96-152, and
Resolution No. 94-66.
Mayor Pro Tem/Acting Chairman Longville opened the hearing.
Fred Wilson, City Administrator, provided a brief overview.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2000-279, City Clerk Clark administered an oath to the
following individuals that they would provide true and honest testimony:
Karen Fricke, Executive Director of the Apartment Association of the Greater
Inland Empire, stated that they were opposed to the inspection program and the
mandatory fees. She requested that the City impose fines on the poorly run
properties rather than use fees to fund the eight new Fire Department positions.
Louise Ceccarelli, Apartment Association Membership Development Manager,
stated that the proposed inspection program makes the assumption that every
landlord and owner of multi -family housing in the City is a slumlord, which is not
true.
Kenneth Horton, property owner in San Bernardino, asked if the Council would
consider imposing a smaller annual inspection fee per unit.
Council Member/Commissioner Longville stated that perhaps in the future owners
could be given a waiver if they do not receive any violations.
9 08/02/2004
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Estrada, that the hearing be closed; and that said resolution

certain parcels of real property located within the City of San Bernardino for
uncollected business registration fees.
Mayor Pro Tem/Acting Chairman Longville opened the hearing.
No public comments were received.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack asked if it would be prudent to turn
the list of property addresses over to Code Compliance for immediate special
inspection attention before the liens are released.
City Attorney Penman stated that it would not be surprising that if someone is not
following the City's Municipal Code in terms of paying their business registration
fees, that they also are likely not to be following other City ordinances as well. He
indicated that there would be nothing wrong with having Code Officers check for
obvious Code violations.
Council Member/Commissioner McGinnis made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Estrada, that the hearing be closed; that the City Clerk be
directed to administratively remove any properties from Exhibit A, which have been
paid prior to the hearing; and that said resolution be adopted.

Regulations) of the San Bernardino Municipal Code (Development Code) related
to monument and pylon signs for regional shopping centers. FIRST READING
Mayor Pro Tem/Acting Chairman Longville opened the hearing.
12 08/02/2004
Valerie Ross, City Planner, presented an overview of the project.
No public comments were received.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada stated that the idea of having similar signs
around the perimeter of the City had been discussed and she questioned whether a
particular theme could be adopted for the City.
Ms. Ross stated that she believed it would be an advantage to leave the decision up
to the shopping center developer because each developer and architect had his/her
own opinion of what they think is nice, and they try to make the signage complement
the design of the buildings.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that she was concerned that the
requirements for centers under 20 acres had not been changed also.
Ms. Ross stated that they had only addressed freeway center signs at this time, but
she added that there are other areas of the Development Code they would like to take
a look at in terms of signage. She stated that signage changes occur rather
frequently and she believes it may be time to rethink and readdress the entire sign
code.
Council Member/Commissioner Johnson made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner McCammack, that the hearing be closed; that said ordinance
be laid over for final adoption; and that Conditional Use Permit No. 04-07 be
approved based upon the Findings of Fact contained in the Planning Commission
Staff Report (Exhibit B), subject to the Conditions of Approval (Exhibit B,
Attachment D).

local churches help their communities.
John Stevens, 4097 Pershing Avenue, San Bernardino, CA, reported that illegal
drug activities were occurring in the park on 40' and Mountain View, and he stated
that he would like to see it stopped.
13 08/02/2004
S1. An Ordinance of the City of San Bernardino adding Chapter 8.39 to the San
Bernardino Municipal Code regarding seizure and forfeiture of nuisance
vehicles. FIRST READING
Senior Assistant City Attorney Carlyle stated that the addition of Chapter 8.39 to the
Municipal Code would provide the City with an additional tool to deter the problem
of illegal depositing, discarding, dumping, and/or placing of garbage, rubbish,
recyclable discards, and/or green waste on any property in the City of San
Bernardino by empowering the City to seize and to sell the vehicles of persons
caught in these illegal acts within the City.
Mr. Carlyle stated that the Legislative Review Committee (LRC) modified the
ordinance slightly by removing the concept of litter and littering at this time;
however, he indicated that the City Attorney's Office was still reviewing this
concept and would be bringing it back to LRC in the near future for their
reconsideration.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada stated that she would like the City to do its
best to alert the public of this action.
Mr. Carlyle stated that the City could place an announcement in the water bill in
addition to putting a notice on the City's website and Channel 3.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack suggested that perhaps empty
billboard signs could be used to promote public awareness regarding illegal
dumping. She felt that the ordinance should be strengthened to include littering and
she stated that she would like to see signs advising that a $1,000 fine will be
imposed for anyone caught doing it.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley stated that this ordinance was about illegal
dumping in vacant lots and behind buildings, and he hoped people would soon
realize that the City is serious and will not tolerate any illegal dumping.
Council Member/Commissioner Longville questioned whether it would be prudent to
ask the public to jot down license plate numbers of vehicles if they should happen to
witness illegal dumping activities and pass the information on to the City Attorney's
Office.
City Attorney Penman indicated that they would like to get those license numbers
because they do sometimes contact those people.
Council Member/Commissioner Johnson
Member/Commissioner McGinnis, that
