PRESENTATION - THE COURT VISION - RENDERINGS & CONCEPT
PRESENTATIONS BY ARCHITECT GARY MILLER - UPDATE ON THE
NEED FOR EXPANSION BY JUDGE ROBERTA McPETERS (82)
Note: Backup material was not proyided, and therefore will not be ayailable for future
reference.
Judge McPeters stated that it was her intention to seek the City's commitment to lead an
effort to secure a safe, modern facility and work toward achieYing this for the residents of both
the City and County of San Bernardino. She noted that the court facility currently has
sufficient court business for 90 judges, but since there are only 63 judges at the present time,
additional space is needed to accommodate 27 new judges in order to proyide adequate seryice.
Judge McPeters stated that much of this space is needed in the San Bernardino Courthouse,
which is outgrown, outdated, oyerused and seismically challenged. She noted that it is her
belief that strong, safe judicial buildings strengthen the County socially and economically,
benefit each and eyery city in the County, and that collaboratiye efforts demonstrate solidarity
as a community and proyide a secure enyironment for inyestment. Judge McPeters indicated
that the County is in a state of limbo not knowing what the State of California is going to do
with respect to the courthouses, and suggested the need for a county-wide master planned
approach of working together to establish ayenues for future funding.
Gary Miller pointed out that this is a collaboratiye effort among many community
organizations including the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown
Business Association, the Neighborhood Cluster AssocIation, the Bar Association, the Inland
Action Council, and many others. Mr. Miller stated that historically, ciyic buildings engender
prosperity, foster growth of many kinds, establish a foundation for inyestment, promote civic
pride and a sense of belonging in the community, establish a positiye identity for our
community, and symbolize commitment. He cited seyeral buildings in the area that haye the
potential for becoming part of the vision for a government/business friendly mall.
Lynda Sayage, a member of the committee, indicated that she appreciated the ideas that
haye been brought forward, and requested that the community work toward accomplishing this
yision.

notified as soon as they haye been identified by Caltrans.

Council Member Estrada asked why the City requested individual bids rather than only
one bid.
City Administrator Wilson stated that the project was rather specialized and contractors
were selected according to their areas of expertise.
Council Member Estrada stated that the staff report indicated that the City lowered its
electrical charges by over $750,000 per year, and asked what time period this referred to.
Jim Sharer, Director of Facilities Management, stated that the City completed its first
energy savings project in 1994.
Council Member Estrada stated that it is important the public knows the City is making
every effort to save on energy costs.

said resolution be adopted; and that the Director of Finance be authorized to amend the FY

REFURBISH WADING POOLS AT LYTLE CREEK AND PERRIS HILL;
AND RE-PLASTER POOLS AT MILL CENTER, HERNANDEZ CENTER
AND DELMANN HEIGHTS. (19)
Council Member McGinnis asked where the $150,000 for the match would be coming
from.
City Administrator Wilson stated that the match would come from State Proposition 12
funding, assuming the City receives the grant.
Council Member McGinnis asked if the City had already received the Coastal
Protection Bond Act monies.
Annie Ramos, Director of Parks, Recreation & Community Services, stated that she
received a letter last week confirming that the City would be receiving $2.2 million.
Council Member Anderson stated that so far the City has received approximately $2.7
million to improve the City's parks and asked if funds could be appropriated for improvements
at Gutierrez Field (and specifically Mindy's Playground located at 14th Street and Mt. Vernon
A venue) such as benches, trees, and barbecues, and asked if the park could be expanded
utilizing the adjacent vacant lot.
Ms. Ramos stated that items such as barbecues and picnic tables could be addressed
within the various project line items in their budget. However, since expansion of this park
was not included on the list of park improvements, Ms. Ramos indicated that it would have to
be added by substituting it for another park. Ms. Ramos indicated that Proposition 12 monies
could be used along with other competitive monies expected after this year, and the expansion
could be included as one of their projects at that time.
Council Member Anderson stated that she would like to see the expansion of this park
as a priority item for next year using Proposition 12 monies. Ms. Anderson stated that Anne
Shirrell Park is also in need of repair.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council Member McGinnis, that
said resolution be adopted.

LYNWOOD WAY, PACIFIC AVENUE AND PERRIS HILL ROAD. (21)
Council Member Anderson stated that the staff report indicated that all wards would
benefit by this resolution, but she did not see where this would benefit the Sixth Ward.
Mayor Valles reiterated that one of the purposes of the pavement plan that was adopted
was to address the issues of all the streets in the entire City, all 500 miles of it, and that it be
prioritized in terms of need. The Mayor stated that all streets will be addressed, and there will
be times when the major focus will be on one particular section of the City.

said resolution be adopted.

RES. 2001-120 - RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
RATIFYING THE MAYOR'S ACTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO
DONATE THREE (3) HEILlPETERBILT SIDE LOADING REFUSE
TRUCKS FROM THE SURPLUS VEHICLE FLEET TO THE CITY OF
MEXICALI, MEXICO. (22)
Council Member Anderson asked if the City had inquired whether there was a market
for the trucks.
City Administrator Wilson stated that there is lost revenue by this action and suggested
selling the trucks at auction as an option. Mr. Wilson noted that this was a request from our
Sister City.
Council Member Anderson stated that the City should first explore whether it could
recoup money for the trucks, and if not, then they could be given away.
Council Member Estrada asked what was the value of one of these vehicles.
18
5121/2001
Lynn Merrill, Director of Public Services, stated that the cost of a new side-loader is
approximately $192,000 and when they go to auction, they are generally very worn out. Mr.
Merrill indicated that the City receives anywhere from $5,000 to $7,000 for the trucks.
Council Member McGinnis stated that sending these vehicles to Mexicali was a good
gesture by the City, and hoped they would be able to maintain them.
Council Member McCammack stated that she was concerned as to how the vehicles
would get to Mexicali.
Mr. Merrill stated that representatives from Mexicali physically inspected the vehicles
and are aware of their condition. He indicated that it was their responsibility to transport the
vehicles, and it was recommended that they be towed.
Council Member Schuetz made a motion, seconded by Council Member McGinnis, that
said resolution be adopted.
Resolution No. 2001-120 was adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members

SOUTH SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY WATER DISTRICT, ASSESSING
PROPERTIES WITHIN THE PREVIOUS DISTRICT BOUNDARIES IN THE
AMOUNT OF $13,137.50 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 200112002. (23)
Council Member McGinnis asked if this fell under Proposition 218 rules on taxation
and whether the City would be allowed to change the rate on the tax.
Deputy City Attorney Empefio stated that these assessments would be paying for a
bonded indebtedness from 1988 and therefore were exempt from Proposition 218.
Council Member McGinnis stated that the district was established in 1958 and asked
how much was borrowed at that time.
Mr. Empefio stated that he did not know the original amount. He noted that the district
was established in 1958, the bonds were issued in 1988, and the water district merged with the
City's water district in 1991.
Council Member Anderson stated that she felt the staff report was not as thorough as it
should have been to explain this item and asked staff to address this issue.
Council Member McGinnis made a motion, seconded by Council Member Lien, that
said resolution be adopted.

WARRANTS (24)
James Funk, Director of Development Services, submitted a staff report dated May 17,
2001, requesting approval of the Draft Administrative Policy for Stop Sign Warrants.
Deputy City Attorney Barnes stated that California Vehicle Code Section 22450 gives
the City discretion to make regulations to statutes by resolution or ordinance, and since this
item was in the form of a motion, recommended that Council approve the motion in order to
proceed with Agenda Item No. 27, and that the item be brought back in the form of a
resolution.
Council Member McCammack made a motion, seconded by Council Member
Anderson, and unanimously carried, that the Mayor and Common Council approve the draft
Administrative Policy for stop sign warrants, and that the matter be brought back in the form
of a resolution.

CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT - AVILA CONSTRUCTION - STREET

DIRECT PURCHASE - 12" & 16" WATER LINE PIPE & FITTINGS
CURRENTLY STORED AT THE SITE - ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF
$125,000 SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION OF ACTUAL VENDOR INVOICE
& REASONABLE HANDLING COSTS (Continued from May 7, 2001)
(28)
James Funk, Director of Development Services. submitted a revised staff report dated
May 15, 2001, regarding cancellation of the contract with Avila Construction.
Ray Casey, City Engineer, discussed highlights of the staff report with the Council.
Rob Reynolds, Attorney for Avila Construction, 3525 Del Mar Heights Road, San
Diego, CA, suggested meeting with the City to work out the details of the April 9 proposal to
avoid the cost of litigation and the prospect of not completing the project thereby losing the
federal funding. Mr. Reynolds stated that the biggest hang-up has been the issue of delay, but
21
5121/2001
indicated that they were willing to put aside the delay issue for now. Mr. Reynolds felt it
would be better for the City if the project were completed and the delay arbitrated rather than
arbitrating the entire case. Mr. Reynolds stated that there was one other issue with regard to
the bond and the City's responsibility to notify the surety company that there was a problem
with the project. He stated that Avila Construction was willing to waive any remedy they
would have against the City for failing to give that notice. Mr. Reynolds stated that they want
to get the project done.
Mayor Valles stated that failure to address the issue of proper documentation for the
numbers that were presented was the reason this issue was being held up.
Mr. Reynolds stated that under federal guidelines, federal entities would not pay
without documentation, and under state court action documentation wouldn't necessarily have
to be shown.
Mayor Valles stated that she felt the City had bent over backwards to accommodate
Avila Construction by postponing the timelines and providing additional time for the
documentation, but noted that it has not been forthcoming.
Mr. Reynolds stated that the issue regarding documentation pertained to the delay issue
and could be handled at arbitration.
Council Member Lien stated that the City is under a tremendous time line to complete
the project with federal funds. She found it odd that Mr. Reynolds indicated the need for
further negotiations, yet prior instruction was for non-binding arbitration, and she understood
the subcontractor refused to do that.
Mr. Reynolds pointed out that he did not know if staff conducted a utility search. He
stated that A vila Construction indicated that they would get the job done if this is resolved, and
would go forward despite Sanborn's ability or inability to participate.
Council Member Schnetz asked if Mr. Reynolds had a chance to discuss the issue with
staff within the last two weeks.
Mr. Reynolds stated that staff proposed non-binding arbitration, but the subcontractor
indicated he was not willing to participate in non-binding arbitration.
Council Member Schnetz asked if there were enough federal monies to pay for this or
would the City have to kick in money over and above the federal grant.
Mr. Casey stated that it was his estimation thai if the initial water line change order
request were included, there would not be enough funding in the overall program to pay for the
project.
Council Member Schuetz asked if the City would still have the water line if they rebid
the project.
22
5/21/2001
Mr. Casey stated that the City's most recent position was to delete the 16-inch water
line from the overall project. Mr. Casey added that it was always the City's intent to maintain
approximately the same amount of street improvements as was originally bid by extending the
work on Third Street, which was part of the original contract and was expanded significantly
with the revised proposal.
Council Member McCammack stated that she was under the impression the City would
make one last attempt at negotiating this contract in the hope the contractor would finish the
job. She understood it to be specific with the ueed for documentation and questioned why that
did not occur if that was all it was going to take to show good faith and resume negotiations.
Mr. Reynolds stated that he understood the receipt for the pipeline did not exist.
Council Member McCammack stated that the idea was to get everybody back to the
table to discuss how close they were in the negotiation process, and she understood the contract
was with the contractor-not the subcontractor. Ms. McCammack asked how long it would
take for binding arbitration.
Mr. Reynolds stated that he estimated three to six months. He indicated that the
pertinent question was still going to be whether a proper utility search was conducted and
noted that this could cause problems for the City, if in fact it wasn't done. Mr. Reynolds
stated that he understood the City expected there would be non-binding arbitration and the
matter would be resolved.
Council Member McCammack stated that the City's expectation was that the
contractor, maybe through the attorney, would bring back documentation.
Mr. Reynolds stated that apparently the pipeline was purchased on credit or on some
other terms. He indicated there was no invoice, nobody paid for it, and as soon as somebody
received a bill, they would be glad to pass it along. Mr. Reynolds stated that the pipeline had
no bearing on completion of the project because it was not part of it.
Speaking from the audience, City Attorney Penman stated that he felt this matter would
not be resolved without another party such as an arbitrator, and did not think it was in the
City's best interest to continue discussions.
Council Member Estrada stated that at the last meeting she had recommended the
matter be continued to this meeting hoping the parties would have been able to resolve the
matter. She indicated at that time that if it was not resolved by this meeting, she would move
the motion to terminate the agreement.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council Member Anderson, and
unanimously carried: (1) that the Mayor and Common Council cancel the contract with Avila
Construction for street improvements of Art Townsend Drive and Otto Gericke Drive at the
San Bernardino International Airport per Plan No. 9479, under the provisions of Section 6-4
"Default by Contractor" of the Standard Specifications; (2) that the Mayor and Common
23
5/21/2001
Council authorize payment of approximately $30,300 to Avila Construction for work
completed and authorize direct purchase of the 12" and 16" water line pipe and fittings
currently stored at the site for an estimated amount of $L!5,000 subject to verification of actual
vendor invoice and reasonable handling costs; authorize staff to accept and process additional
claims for valid costs and damages as allowed by the comract, if any, from Avila Construction,
and authorize staff to rebid the project per revised Plan No. 9479; and (3) that the Mayor and
Common Council authorize staff to submit to binding arbitration with Avila Construction, Inc.
and Sanborn Pipeline to resolve extra work and claims for alleged delay costs not resolved in
Item 2 above.
DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY BARNES EXCUSED
At 11:33 a.m., Deputy City Attorney Barnes left the Council meeting and was replaced
by City Attorney Penman.
DISCUSS & TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION - PROPOSED CHARTER
AMENDMENT - RESTRICTIONS ON OFFICERS (Discussed later in the
meeting - page 34) (30)
James Penman, City Attorney, submitted a staff report dated May 17, 2001, regarding
discussion and possible action on the proposed Charter Amendment.
Mr. Penman discussed highlights of the staff report with the Council and wanted it
made clear that the proposed amendment was not suggested by the Mayor.
Council Member McCammack stated that she remembered this being an issue during
the Measure M campaign, and at that time she understood this part of the Charter to have
precluded an elected official from serving on a state commission possibly because of the time it
took to travel in the early 1900's. Council Member McCammack made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Anderson, that said resolutions A and B be adopted. (No vote was taken.)
Council Member Estrada stated that there are a number of issues in the current Charter
that need to be addressed; however, she did not feel this was the most important issue and
could not see taking it to the voters.
Council Member Anderson stated that she concurred with Council Member Estrada, but
indicated that this was only the beginning-other items would be brought up in the future, and
there would certainly be a community body that would give input.
Council Member Suarez stated that he was concerned that serving on some state/federal
committees may be a conflict of interest for elected and appointed officials, and he asked that
this be clarified.
City Attorney Penman stated that he was not aware of any state committee or
commission that would be a conflict of interest for either an elected or appointed official from
this City to serve on. He stated that he purposely chose an uncontroversial amendment
24
5/21/2001
because the voters should not have to fear all Charter reform and this would give them a
chance to look at only one issue in November.
Jim Mulvihill, 407 W. 25th Street, San Bernardino, CA, stated that he had no problem
with this particular amendment and that not having active representation at the state level was a
real detriment to the City. He indicated that the problem is that there is no mechanism for
proposing recommended Charter changes, and he believes there is a constituency for various
elements of Charter change. He stated that he felt there should be a panel comprised of public
officials and citizens having no vested interests-an impartial panel.
Council Member McCammack stated that she learned a lot from Measure M, like
taking issues one at a time so the public feels completely confident with a "yes" or a "no"
decision on a Charter amendment. She said there was plenty of time between now and August
to add additional items if that was the Council's decision. She personally felt a raise for the
Mayor was in order, but agreed that it might not be a good thing to come up in this
November's election. Ms. McCammack noted that the Mayor was disturbed that she was
unable to serve on a state commission. She stated that she also learned in listening to several
elected officials that an appointed Charter Committee might not have been the best way to
tackle Charter amendments, and the discussion was that Charter commissioners should have
been elected.
Mr. Penman stated that the Mayor is now very much involved in a number of projects
and does not have time to serve on state commissions/committees. He indicated that what
happened before had nothing to do with what was currently being presented.
Council Member McGinnis stated that he did not have enough information and was not
prepared to move this item without having more discussion on Charter amendments.
Council Member Estrada made a substitute motion, seconded by Council Member
Schnetz, that a workshop be held to discuss potential Charter amendments. (Note: The vote
was taken following further discussion.)
Mr. Penman encouraged the Council to televise the workshop.
Mayor Valles stated that she agreed with Mr Mulvihill's comment that a Charter
amendment process needs to be addressed.
City Clerk Clark reminded the Council that August 10 was the absolute deadline to
submit to the Board of Supervisors the request to place any Charter amendment on the ballot.

(30B)
At this time, the substitute motion made by Council Member Estrada, seconded by
Council Member Schnetz, that a luncheon workshop be scheduled to discuss potential Charter
changes, unanimously carried.
It was the consensus of the Council to hold this item over until the afternoon to enable
staff to come up with a date for the workshop.
CITY ATTORNEY PENMAN EXCUSED
At 12:15 p.m., City Attorney Penman left the Council meeting and was replaced by
Deputy City Attorney Barnes.
AUTHORIZE EXECUTION - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING &
WORKING PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO & CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, SAN
BERNARDINO - CABLE TELEVISION NETWORK (81)
Mayor Valles submitted a statf report dated May 18, 2001, regarding authorization to
execute a Memorandum of Understanding and a Working Partnership Agreement between the
City of San Bernardino and California State University, San Bernardino, for the Cable
Television Network.
Frank Keller, Cable Television Manger, stated that this agreement would allow
Channel 3 to air some regionalized programming that would not displace Council meetings or
local productions and would occur during prime time hours starting out with probably one or
two hours and working up to possibly three or four.
Council Member Lien asked if Cal State had its own production facilities.
Mr. Keller stated that Cal State provides some production training and indicated that the
City is working on instituting an internship program where students would come to the City's
facility and work on this regionalized programming. He noted that Phase 2 would consist of
some regionalized news programming that would provide information to the local area that is
void from the Los Angeles television market.
Council Member Lien stated that she wanted to make sure the City would be
remunerated for the use of its production facilities by other entities.
Mr. Keller stated that the MOU would allow the City to air the programming. The
contract would come before the Council at a later time and would put together the hard points
26
5/21/2001
of the partnership. Mr. Keller stated that several cities have been offered an opportunity to
contract services for programming with the City of San Bernardino, which in turn would
generate revenue.
Cindy Pringle, California State University, San Bernardino, stated that Cal State
viewed this as an exciting initiative that would help coalesce the Valley in a way that would
create image and appearance fabricated by local residents rather than the Los Angeles market.
Ms. Pringle stated that they are awaiting the advent of a federal grant from the Department of
Defense for the United States Navy in which they will be acquiring some digital equipment to
do some distance learning, and they see this cable television network project running parallel to
that and leading to a wonderful future.
Deputy City Attorney Barnes stated that she believed Cal State had not had a chance to
look at the Working Partnership Agreement and recommended that the Council pass Motion #1
and bring back Motion #2 in the form of a resolution to the next Council meeting.
Council Member Suarez made a motion, seconded by Council Member Anderson, and
unanimously carried, that the Mayor and Common Council authorize the Mayor to execute a
Memorandum of Understanding between the City of San Bernardino and California State
University, San Bernardino for the Cable Television Network; and that the Working
Partnership Agreement be brought back as a resolution to the Mayor and Common Council
meeting of June 4, 2001.

2001, regarding the Final Environmental Impact Report, General Plan Amendment (GPA) No.
01-01 and Development Code Amendment (DCA) No. 01-03 for the HUB Project at the
northwest corner of Tippecanoe Avenue and Interstate 10.
Mayor Valles opened the hearing relative to Agenda Item Nos. 29 and R31.
Agency Executive Director Van Osdel provided an overview of the project.
The following individuals spoke in opposition to the project:
Mr. George Hallock, 928 Rosewood Drive, San Bernardino, CA.;
Frank A. Weiser, Attorney for the University Inn, 3460 Wilshire Blvd., #903, Los
Angeles, CA.; and
Louis Rodriguez, 1014 E. Laurelwood Drive, San Bernardino, CA.
Ron Circi, owner of property located at 983 E. Laurelwood, San Bernardino, CA,
spoke in favor of the project.
Council Member McGinnis asked if the City had performed a property value
assessment.
Mr. Van Osdel stated that the assessment had not yet been completed and indicated that
this would be discussed in closed session.
Council Member Schuetz asked what was the typical size of the residential lots.
Valerie Ross, Principal Planner, stated that the majority of the lots were between 5,000
and 6,000 square feet.
Council Member Schnetz stated that the commercial value of a 7,000 square foot lot at
$5 per square foot would be approximately $35,000 per parcel. Mr. Schnetz stated that the
houses would be purchased at the value of the single-family residential property, which would
be considerably higher than $35,000, and indicated that the Agency would pay the difference.
Mr. Schnetz stated that the resolution states that the project's estimated fair share contribution
is approximately $5 million for Congestion Management Plan (CMP) roadway improvements,
and asked where the money was going to come from, and when.

Ray Casey, City Engineer, stated that the Traffic System Fee is based on a calculation
that is derived from the ultimate square footage of buildings and an intensity factor of about
$17 per trip, or somewhere in the neighborhood of $170,000 to $200,000.
Kevin Kincher, Consultant with LSA Associates, stated that the figure Council Member
Schuetz was referring to was the project's fair share of needed future improvements to the area
based on CMP calculation and would be the project's portion of the overall improvements that
would be needed in that immediate area.
Council Member Schuetz asked if the City would have to set money aside or would it
get credit for the existing uses and the trips per day.
Ms. Ross stated that the purpose of the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is to identify the
impacts and the mitigation measures needed to mitigate those impacts and also to identify the
cost for implementing those particular traffic improvements. Ms. Ross stated that the
estimated amount of the contribution is generally due when the improvements are actually
needed.
Council Member Schnetz asked if the City had to budget for that amount.
Ms. Ross stated that the City was not budgeting for that amount. She indicated that the
$5 million was an estimate based on current information, and stated that the City was not
bound by it.
Council Member McCammack asked if the Fair Market Value of the homes was based
on other residential comps in the area or within a certain radius.
Mr. Van Osdel stated that the initial indications of value were prepared by a private
independent appraiser and he did not know how far he went out with his comps. Mr. Van
Osdel indicated that when the appraisers are asked to do full-blown appraisals, they will be
able to refine the numbers and will hopefully be within the ballpark with their estimates.
Council Member McCammack asked if traffic congestion was considered a detriment to
that appraisal.
Mr. Van Osdel stated that it was his assumption that the appraisals were done
regardless of the circumstances.
Council Member McCammack stated that there appeared to be a conflict in that there
are only three owner-applicants out of the 64 pieces of property, and the lion's share seemed to
be for tenant relocation and tenant rental assistance.
Mr. Van Osdel stated that he thought the relocation plan's consultants provided the
numbers of owner-occupants versus tenants. Mr. Van Osdel indicated that because they will
be using both HOME dollars and Lo/Mod funds, they will be responsible to adhere to both
29
5/21/2001
state and federal law as to how relocation benefits are determined and the amount of money
that will be paid.
Council Member Lien asked if the homeowners have received the material on
relocation and how it would be calculated.
Mr. Van Osdel stated that the required communication with property owners relative to
their initial rights to participate have been followed religiously, but thought it would be a bit
premature to distribute the relocation benefit package.
Council Member Estrada asked for the amount of current sales at the existing Sam's
Club.
Jim Rabi, Consultant with Keyser Marston Associates, stated that individual store sales
was confidential information and could not be publicly disclosed. He did indicate that current
sales for Sam's Club, Costco, and In-N-Out Burger totaled $95 million and the analysis of
incremental taxable sales that would occur at this site took into account the relocation of Sam's
Club, In-N-Out Burger, and the likelihood that some of the sales that occurred at this site
would actually come from other stores in the City of San Bernardino. Mr. Rabi estimated that
taxable sales at this location initially would be $70 million, approximately half of the sales ($35
million) represent existing sales at Sam's Club, In-N-Out Burger, and transfers from other
locations, so that the net gain was approximately $350 million in sales tax revenues for the
City.
Council Member Estrada stated that she would like the City to consider returning a
certain percentage of the sales tax back to the Agency.
Mr. Van Osdel stated that that the Agency was aware of that and would be returning to
the Council with a revenue sharing agreement that will propose that the first obligation of the
increase in sales tax to the City would be to pay back the infrastructure loan, and they would
request to participate in that net increase to some degree.
Council Member McCammack stated that she felt the relocation and the rental
assistance program looked very attractive.
Council Member Schnetz asked if the $1.1 million reimbursement for Harriman Place
would come back to the Agency.
Mr. Van Osdel stated that the intent is that it be paid to the Agency and the loan
proceeds from the bank loan will pay for the right of way acquisition as well as development of
the street. The developer initially had an obligation within their budget to pay for that
particular street, and taking over the responsibility represents a reimbursement to the Agency.
John Hoeger, Agency Project Manager, stated that the $1.1 million is a cost to the
developer for construction of the street, and the Agency will receive those dollars, which
brings the Agency's costs down to $3.4 million. The money the City will use to construct the
30
5/21/2001
street will come from the infrastructure bank loan, which is an additional $2 million. The City
will use $1.1 million to construct the improvements, and the Agency will use $900,000 of that
money to purchase right of way.
Council Member Schuetz asked if he understood correctly that without the bank loan,
the cost would be an additional $2 million, which would be paid back through sales tax.
Mr. Hoeger answered affirmatively, stating that this was a mechanism that just became
available to the Agency during negotiation of the agreement.
Charles Brown, owner of property located at 1037-1049 Rosewood, San Bernardino,
CA, stated that he was interested in selling his property because of costly sewer problems, but
was not willing to give it away. He asked how the appraisals would be handled because he is
concerned the property owners will not get what they want for their property.
Mayor Valles assured Mr. Brown that the City would be fair and would follow
relocation laws and regulations.
Council Member McGinnis stated that every consideration would be given to help
homeowners and renters find new homes, and the City would strive to make their relocation as
painless as possible.
Julio Rodriguez, 1014 Laurelwood, San Bernardino, CA, asked what about the people
who did not want to be relocated.
Council Member McGinnis stated that this project was for the good of the City.
Mayor Valles stated that eminent domain would be the last resort.
Henry Shelton, owner of property on Rosewood Drive, was concerned that he would
not get adequate reimbursement for his property.
Camay Nani, stated that she bought her commercial property as an investment, and did
not want it appraised as residential property.
