RES. 2000-183 - RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT
WITH LOS PADRINOS, INC. A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION,
TO IMPLEMENT A COMPREHENSIVE CITY WIDE GRAFFITI
REMOVAL PROGRAM. (Discussed earlier in the meeting - page 16)
(10)
City Administrator Wilson distributed and reviewed with the Council a
memorandum dated June 19, 2000, regarding the Los Padrinos Contracts. He noted
that the City has a contract for $214,000, to be paid from the General Fund; in
24
6/19/2000
addition, the EDA has a separate contract using Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds for $120,000--for a total funding of $334,000.
Council Member Estrada questioned whether there were any CDBG monies left
over from previous years.
Maggie Pacheco, Director of Housing and Urban Development, noted that at the
upcoming Redevelopment Committee meeting they would be discussing use of unspent
CDBG funds from projects in prior years which have been completed without using all
of the allocated funding. She advised, however, that there are other projects that have
not been completed to which this money needs to be reallocated; and in the final
analysis, once the reallocations have been agreed on and approved, there would
probably be no funds left over from prior years.
Council Member Estrada inquired whether the Council could approve this
agreement now, but bring it back later if it was ascertained that there were additional
CDBG funds that could be used for this purpose, thus lowering the General Fund
contribution.
City Administrator Wilson stated that this could be done without a problem
since the contract is on a month-to-month basis and can be re-addressed at any time.
Council Member Anderson made a motion. seconded by Council Member
Suarez, that said resolution be adopted.
Resolution No. 2000-183 was adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Council
Members Estrada, Lien, McGinnis, Schnetz, Suarez. Anderson, McCammack. Nays:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO ADDING
SECTION 10.16.270 TO THE SAN BERNARDINO MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO PARKING LIMITATIONS - THE SAN
BERNARDINO BASEBALL STADIUM PREMISES. (Discussed
earlier in the meeting - page 23)(See related Agenda Item Nos. 39 &
40 on pages 30-33) First (42)
City Attorney Penman noted that the following changes needed to be made to
the ordinance as follows:
Lines 3, 8, 11 and 18 - add the word "premises" after the word stadium.
City Clerk Clark noted that the agenda had incorrectly shown the Municipal
Code Section as 10.16.250; however, it should be Section 10.16.270. She read the
correct ordinance title into the record with the corrected Municipal Code Section and
adding the word "premises" after the word stadium in the title.
Council Member McGinnis stated that he did not think limiting the use of the
parking lot was a good idea since the City is losing approximately $500,000 per year as
a result of operating the stadium and could use the revenue from leasing the parking lot
to offset this loss.
Roger Diamond, 2115 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA, legal counsel for Mr.
Ezzat Soliman, expressed opposition to said ordinance and indicated that he and his
client would like to meet with City staff to discuss the matter. He pointed out that Mr.
Soliman has a five-year lease with the Masterdome for promoting concerts; and when
he leased the Masterdome, he also entered into an agreement with the City to lease
parking spots at the stadium, for which he pays over $100,000 per year.
Mr. Diamond advised that even though the City's stated rationale for limiting
use of the stadium parking lot to events held on stadium premises was to avoid future
confusion regarding the stadium parking lot, it was his belief that this action was taken
to curtail the concerts put on by his client, and this amounted to discriminatory
treatment of Mr. Soliman. He asked the Council to table the matter until a study
session could be held to resolve the problem.
Mr. Diamond commented on the issuance of the Mayor's executive orders and
implored the Council not to adopt the ordinance. He stated that there was no
26
6/19/2000
emergency, and that if Mr. Soliman's parking is taken away he would just move
elsewhere in the city.
Council Member McCammack made a motion, seconded by Council Member
Anderson, that said ordinance be laid over for final adoption.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members Estrada,
Lien, Schnetz, Suarez, Anderson, McCammack. Nays: Council Member McGinnis.
Absent: None.

towards the Central City Redevelopment Plan.

At the request of Roger Diamond, 2115 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA, legal

the issuance of the executive orders. She stated that on April 26, 2000, Executive
Order 2000-1 was issued. It was one week after three people were stabbed and one
shot at a hip-hop event at a City-owned facility. In addition, there had been three
deaths during the prior 18 months, and these were also due to rave events
30
6/19/2000
Ms. Barnes pointed out that the judge's order denied the plaintiff's request for a
temporary restraining order based on Executive Order 2000-1, indicating that those
circumstances would not be sufficient to uphold the order. She added that at the time
Executive Order 2000-1 was issued, no one was thinking about the Masterdome. It was
after the parking permits were issued that it came to the Mayor's attention that three
separate entities--Stampede Baseball, Big Red Apple, and Parks and Recreation--were
all scheduling events using the stadium parking lot. Therefore, to prevent the
possibility of future confusion, the Mayor issued Executive Order 2000-2, which
superseded Executive Order 2000-1, dealing with the stadium parking lot. Ms. Barnes
read Executive Order 2000-2, in its entirety, into the record.
She stated that Mr. Soliman had challenged Executive Order 2000-2, and at the
temporary restraining order stage the court not only discussed the constitutionality of
Executive Order 2000-2, but also denied Mr. Diamond's request for a temporary
restraining order. At this time, Ms. Barnes read the court's order into the record
wherein it was stated that Executive Order 2000-2 did not, on its face, violate the first
amendment. The court also pointed out that the City had offered evidence that there
was alternative parking available at two shopping centers one block north of the
Masterdome, and that the plaintiff was able to hold his concerts on May 19 and 20,
2000 without the use of the City's parking lot.
Ms. Barnes advised that the City had submitted a declaration by Captain
Michael Billdt of the San Bernardino Police Department which stated that on the nights
of May 19 and 20, 2000, the Masterdome arena had a public event. He stated that each
night he was in the area of the Masterdome at several different times, and on each night
he observed some vehicles parking at the two parking centers one block north of the
Masterdome. In addition, some vehicles were parked in a lot across the street and to
the south of the Masterdome. He stated that he did not observe any unusual traffic
problems on either night.
Ms. Barnes advised that Executive Order 2000-2 deals with the Stampede
parking lot and applies to any person who wants to have an outside event and utilize the
parking lot. The City is not applying this order to only Mr. Soliman, and the court has
upheld the constitutionality of Executive Order 2000-2 at the temporary restraining
order stage.
In closing, Ms. Barnes quoted from the Mayor's deposition transcript, page
104, beginning on line 13, where the City Attorney asked the Mayor whether the
second executive order was issued to stop rave concerts, or for the reasons stated in the
second executive order; and the Mayor replied that it was for the reasons stated in the
order.
Under questioning by his attorney, Mr. Soliman indicated that the management
of the Food for Less and Marshall's parking lots would not allow him to park in their
lots. He also indicated that the City has fenced off the area at Congress and "G"
31
6/19/2000
Streets, so he is unable to utilize the lot across the street for parking. Also, the City
had informed him that he could not park in the dirt area at Rialto and "G" Street
because it is not paved.
RECESS MEETING
At 3:39 p.m., Mayor Valles declared a ten-minutes recess to allow the Council
to read the Mayor's deposition.
RECONVENE MEETING

COUNCIL MEMBER SUAREZ RETURNED
At 3:55 p.m., Council Member Suarez returned to the Council meeting and took
his place at the Council table.
Discussion ensued relative to parking space available to Mr. Soliman other than
the stadium parking lot. Mr. Diamond questioned Police Captain Michael Billdt of the
Patrol Division regarding available parking after May 20, 2000; particularly, parking at
the shopping center parking lots. Mr. Diamond maintained that except on maybe one
occasion, Mr. Soliman could not use these parking lots after May 20 because the
owners had hired security and taken other measures so he could no longer use them.
Captain Billdt stated that he did not know whether Mr. Soliman had access to
the parking lots after May 20.
Mr. Diamond inquired whether the Police Department would allow Masterdome
patrons to continue parking on the dirt lot adjacent to the Masterdome facility, and
Captain Billdt advised that the City does not own the property and up to this time has
32
6/1912000
not expended the resources necessary to curtail this activity. Captain BilIdt stated that
this is really not the call of the Police Department, but ultimately rests with the
property owner. He also pointed out that before a vehicle can be towed from a private
property, the entrances to the parking lot must be properly noticed on a sign 17 inches
with I-inch letters that say "No Parking." On the nights he was there, the lots were not
properly posted; however, he could not say today whether or not the property owners
have posted their property.
Council Member Anderson made a motion, seconded by Council Member
McCammack, and unanimously carried, that both appeals be continued to 10:00 a.m.
on July 10, 2000.
Jay Lindberg, 6340 Orange Knoll, San Bernardino, CA, stated that the Council
