TRANSFER OF FUNDS - DESIGN & MODIFICATION -
TRAFFIC SIGNAL - CALIFORNIA STREET & BASE LINE
STREET (Continued from November 1,1999) (34)
17
12/6/1999
Development Services Director Michael E. Hays submitted a staff
report dated November 22, 1999, wherein he requests authorization to
transfer funds for the design and modification of an existing traffic signal
at the intersection of California Street and Base Line Street.
Mr. Hays indicated that the San Bernardino City Unified School District
has submitted a request that the City design and construct a
modification to the existing traffic signal at the intersection of California
Street and Base Line Street. The school district is planning to construct
its primary access driveway for the new high school to align with the
south leg of the intersection. Their request is prompted by the high
power Southern California Edison transmission lines on State Street.
The school district does not want to expose students to any unforeseen
possible danger from electric magnetic fields. There is also a timing
issue involved.
Mr. Ron Kuehl, Project Manager with Neff Construction, indicated
that the School District would like to move forward with the proposal for
access.
Mr. Norm Johnson, 616 E. Fairmont Drive, San Bernardino,
opposed the transfer of funds from the State Street project to the
California Street project. He indicated there was never a commitment by
Council to fund a signal at California Street. He believes the
construction of State Street is an important issue for Council and it has
been on the Council Agenda for several years. If the Council agrees to
fund the signal at California Street, the money should be taken out of the
traffic or general fund, not the State Street fund.
Council Member Schnetz .suggested cooperation among the three
entities involved, in getting the State Street project started.
City Attorney Penman indicated he has legal and liability concerns,
with respect to adherence to the General Plan.
Discussion ensued regarding funding.
Council Member Anderson stated she has watched the fund
dwindle over the years and wants the project to go forward. She would
like the three entities to come together and work out a solution.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Estrada, and unanimously carried, to refer the matter to the
Ways & Means Committee.
