Measure Nos. 7-1 and 10-1 have been satisfied by the Inland Valley
Development Agency with respect to the development project proposed by
Kohl's Inc., affecting a portion of "Parcel 1-3" at the former Norton Air
Force Base.
Council Member/Commissioner Lien expressed concern regarding the first four
words of the sentence on page 2, line 6 of the resolution which states, "It is
anticipated that each new project will be responsible for improving the roads
that are contiguous to the project site to the level of improvement identified in
the Specific Plan." She felt that those four words implied discretion as to
whether each project would have to assume those costs, and that there should be
a clear policy stating that projects are going to have to pay for those
improvements at the base.
Council Member/Commissioner Schnetz suggested that staff maintain a log
showing the total credits the IVDA/ Airport Authority started out with, and then
deduct the mitigation fees paid by each project so that a running account of the
balance of the IVDA/ Airport Authority credits is always available.

2, line 6 was a direct quote from the Specific Plan. He also provided
clarification as to intent of various wording in the resolution and advised of
corrections being made to the resolution.

Member/Commissioner Lien, that said resolution be adopted.

Discussion ensued regarding whether the air conditioning units would be

suggested.

by the Finance Department to educate and work with local vendors. She
pointed out, however, that Public Works projects are handled separately and

material submitted.)
Council Member/Commissioner Lien advised that the state budget does not look
good and the threat to the motor vehicle in-lieu fund, which represents almost
$10 million of the City's $85 million General Fund, is very real. Not yet

ballot--a measure that would give the voters the right to say that the state must
provide the funds to pay for state-mandated programs at the local level. The
cost to place this measure on the ballot is approximately $8-10 million.
