COSTS - CITY OF HIGHLAND - HIGHLAND LITTLE
PATTON PARK - AUTHORIZE ACCEPTANCE OF PRO-RATA
(7)
In a memorandum dated February 1, 1994, Annie Ramos, Director
of Parks, Recreation & Community Services, stated that at its
January 25, 1994 meeting, the city of Highland's City Council
approved the payment of up to 80 percent, not to exceed $3,000 on
a one-time basis, to cover the Highland Little League's lighting
costs at Patton Park. The 80 percent represents a pro-rata share
of the energy costs based on the residency of the little league
participants. The $3,000 ceiling would have the City of Highland
paying approximately 52 percent of the actual costs assuming that
the costs would be approximately the same as last year which
amounted to $5,729.
Resolution 91-35 exempts only local youth organizations from
paying fees for outdoor sports facilities. The agreement with the
city of Highland calls for the city to pay for Highland Little
League's energy cost on a pro-rata basis, in order that the
remaining energy costs, which represents what is incurred by San
Bernardino residents, not be charged. The proposed council action
provides for the acceptance of the Highland share and the waiver of
the remainder for the energy cost for the current fiscal year,
thereby establiShing a special status.

paying their fair share of the lighting costs incurred by the City
of San Bernardino. It was pointed out that the City of Highland
has agreed to subsidize Highland Little League for a maximum of
$3,000.
Discussion continued relative to possible negotiations with
the City of Highland on why they fail to pay their fair share of
the lighting costs.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Negrete, and unanimously carried, that the payment by the
City of Highland of a pro-rata share of Highland Little League's
lighting costs at Patton Park be accepted, and that the remainder
of fees be waived through June 30, 1994.

construction of sewers and appurtenant facilities, administrative

(ESGP) FUNDING FISCAL YEAR 1994-1995 (R-5)
In a memorandum dated February 16, 1994, Kenneth J. Henderson,
Executi ve Director, Development Department/Economic Development
Agency, stated that the Housing Division is responsible for
identifying and pursuing funding opportunities in conjunction with
the delivery of homeless services within the City. For Fiscal Year
1994/95, the City is eligible to receive $89,000 in funds through
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESGP).
ESGP funds can be used for a variety of homeless service
activities, including shelter rehabilitation, essential services
(food provision, transportation), homeless prevention, operations
and administration. Once the ESGP Assistance Application has been
approved by HUD, the Agency will solicit Request for Proposals
(RFP) from qualified non-profit service providers. The RFP will
include a Comprehensive Checklist which identifies the non-profit
organization's service delivery and financial capacity, along with
the identified use of these funds by the providers.
When formal RFP responses have been received, staff will
investigate the experience levels and capacity of responding non-
profit organizations, and review the proposals to ensure compliance
with community needs identified in the Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy (CHAS) document, and the Home Ownership
Investment Partnership (HOME) Program Description. Based upon this
analysis, staff will recommend selection of the designated non-
profit service provider(s) to the Mayor and Council.
At its meeting of Tuesday, February 15, 1994, the Housing
Committee recommended submittal of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) Application, for Fiscal Year 1994-95

LOCAL BID PREFERENCE CRITERIA - CONTINUED FROM FEBRUARY

21
Wilson, Assistant City Administrator, stated that on January 10,
1994 the Mayor and Council considered two draft ordinances relative
to a preference for local bidders on City purchases of supplies,
materials, equipment and services and for public projects. The
City currently does not have a policy of providing any type of
preference in determining the lowest responsible bidder for
contracts or agreements for material, supplies or equipment. The
basis which is currently used in selecting vendors is the lowest
and best bidder as outlined in the city's Charter as well as the
purchasing ordinance.
The first draft ordinance, Draft A, was requested by the
Downtown Business Association and calculates preference based on a
formula that provides up to a maximum of six percent that could be
credited to local firms based on the bidder receiving credit of one
percent for each successive year their principal office has been
located in the City up to a maximum of three years; the bidder
receiving a credit of one percent for each successive year that the
bidder has physically located fifty percent of its employees in
offices located in the City, up to a maximum of three years;
provided that a written document justifying these credits is
provided at the time the bid is submitted.
The second ordinance, Draft B, recommends an eight percent
preference for local bidders for comparison purposes with other
bidders.
staff contacted a number of cities inquiring about a local bid
preference. The survey results indicated that a maximum of one
percent bid preference be provided to local businesses in the area
of materials, supplies, and equipment. staff recommends that a
local bid preference of one percent be implemented for the purchase
of materials, supplies, and equipment; and that pUblic works
contracts be exempted from the ordinance.

FY 1993/94 MID YEAR BUDGET REPORT - RECEIVE AND FILE
(24)
In a memorandum dated February 10, 1994, Barbara Pachon,
Director of Finance, stated that the mid-year financial report is
designed to keep the Mayor and Council apprised of the financial
position of the City. Each year in February the City reviews
revenues and expenditures and prepares an updated projection on the
General Fund for the Mayor and Council. The report provides the
City with an opportunity to take action if there are financial
problems before the end of the fiscal year and it gives the City an
early indication of the upcoming fiscal year in terms of the budget
outlook. The report detailed the city's FY 1993-94 beginning fund
balance, general fund revenues, general fund expenditures, and
other funds.
In a memorandum dated February 17, 1994, Fred Wilson,
Assistant City Administrator, stated that a General Fund shortfall
for FY 94-95 is projected in the amount of approximately $1,424,700
based on certain revenue and expenditure assumptions. The FY 94/95
budget preparation process will be underway in March and a revised
projection will be made both for revenues and expenditures to
better reflect the City's actual budget status. It is assumed that
the budget picture may change from the initial forecasted shortfall
based on a combination of factors including anticipated remittance
of Cross Country Wireless utility users tax payments to the City;
and departments will be requested to limit expenditures for the
balance of the fiscal year. It is expected that budget
deliberations by the Mayor and Common Council will be scheduled for
June 1994.

The County is requesting authorization to change the City'S
benefit assessment for single family dwellings from $1.85 to $2.32

in addition to routine surveillance, vector control services which
could be tailored to the city or community's needs (rats,
cockroach, and mosquito control, educational services in the
schools, along with insect identification services for the public) .
Mr. Long requested that the city issue a statement allowing
the County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors to change the
City of San Bernardino benefit assessment for single family
dwellings units to $2.32.

vector control program.
