In a memorandum dated April 25, 1994, James Sharer, Facilities
Manager, stated that due to the difficulties in recruiting
qualified personnel at the current salary rates, he is requesting
that an increase be authorized for the positions of Security
Officer and Assistant Security Supervisor. There would be no
impact to the General Fund since these positions are funded through
the Parking District Fund. At its meeting of April 25, 1994, the
Personnel Committee recommended approval of the proposed salary
increases.
Discussion ensued regarding whether or not the matter had been
heard before the Central City Parking Place Commission; and whether
the requirements of the positions could be changed to enable the
hiring of private firms.
Council Member Hernandez made a motion that a salary increase
be granted for the following part-time parking district positions:

update Resolution No. 6413, section Thirteen, accordingly.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
A discussion was held regarding the possibility of
privatization.

Member Devlin, that a salary increase be granted for the following

CONSENT - SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY - RESOLUTION OF INTENTION
TO ESTABLISH A BENEFIT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT - IMPROVE SAN
TIMOTEO CREEK CHANNEL (10)
In a memorandum dated April 7, 1994, Roger Hardgrave, Director
of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers have been working on its Santa Ana River project and has
recently included the improvement of San Timoteo Creek. The San
Timoteo Creek portion has been divided into the following reaches:
1) Santa Ana River to 1-10 Freeway, 2) 1-10 Freeway to Anderson
Street and 3) Anderson Street to Alabama Street. The entire first
reach and a small portion of the second is within the City limits
of San Bernardino.
Plans are being prepared for the first reach, and the Corps
expects to be ready to advertise for bids by the middle of May
1994. A local agency financing plan would need to be established
prior to advertising for bids. The total estimated costs for Reach
No.1 is $5,781,000, of which the local agencies would be required
to finance $1,646,000. Costs for right-of-way utility relocations
and other items would be counted toward the local matching share.
Reach No. One is located in Flood Control District Zone III
which has limited funds. Consequently, the District feels that a
Benefit Assessment District would need to be established to finance
the unfunded portion of the local agency share. Although the
County has the authority to establish such a district, they are
requesting concurrence by the affected cities. Adoption of a
Resolution of Intention would allow the Flood Control District to
pursue the services of an assessment engineer for preparation of
the Engineer's Report. The cities involved would have an
opportunity to review and concur with the Engineer's Report prior
to action by the Board to establish a district.
10
5-2-94
council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Negrete, and unanimously carried, that consent be given for
adoption of a Resolution of Intention by the Board of Supervisors
relative to the establishment of a Benefit Assessment District to
finance the unfunded portion of the local agency share of the U. S.
Army corps of Engineers' project to improve the San Timoteo Creek
Channel.

APPROVE PLANS, ADVERTISE FOR BIDS &
(11)
In a memorandum dated April 21, 1994, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that plans for the
construction of a traffic diverter on 17th Street, west of
Arrowhead Avenue, have been prepared and the project is ready to be
advertised for bids. The project would close off 17th Street to
through traffic and would consist of extending curb, gutter and
sidewalk along the west side of Arrowhead Avenue. In order to
avoid additional maintenance, hardscape improvements would be
installed between the new curb and sidewalk.
During the review by the city's Environmental Review
Committee, the project was found to be exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act. However, the Fire Department noted that
the spacing between the existing fire hydrants on the southwest
corner of "D" and 17th Streets and the northwest corner of 17th
Street and Arrowhead Avenue is about 660 feet, while their standard
spacing is 500 feet. Consequently, a fire hydrant would need to be
installed which is estimated at $13,640. The total estimated
project cost is $34,000.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Hernandez, that the plans for construction of a traffic
diverter on 17th Street, west of Arrowhead Avenue, in accordance
with Plan No. 9105, be approved; that the Director of Public
Works/City Engineer, be authorized to advertise for bids; and that
the transfer of $9,000, from Account No. 129-309-57739, "Congestion
Management Model, II to Account No. 129-309-57495, "17th Street, west

WIDEN BRIDGES - KENDALL DRIVE & CAJON BOULEVARD - DEVIL'S
CANYON CHANNEL - APPROVE PLANS & ADVERTISE FOR BIDS (12)
In a memorandum dated April 20, 1994, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that plans for
widening the Kendall Drive and Cajon Boulevard bridges over the
Devil's Canyon Channel have been prepared by a consulting engineer,
and the project is ready to be advertised for bids. The project
consists of a basic bid for widening the Kendall Drive bridge to
match the approach roadways, and the total estimated cost is
$695,000. Additive Alternative "A" for widening the Cajon
Boulevard bridges will be included in the contract documents. The
estimated contract cost for Additive Alternate "A" is $301,802. A
total amount of $800,000 has been allocated. If sufficient funds
are available, Additive Alternate "A" would be included in the
contract award.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by council
Member Devlin, that the plans for widening the Kendall Drive and
Cajon Boulevard bridges over Devil's Creek Channel, in accordance
with Plan No. 8813, be approved; and that the Director of Public
Works/City Engineer, be authorized to advertise for bids. (Note:
The vote was taken after discussion.)
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer,
answered questions regarding the widening of the Kendall Drive and
Cajon Boulevard bridges over Devil's Canyon Channel and the costs
associated with the project.
Council Member Curlin made a substitute motion, seconded by
Council Oberhelman, that the matter be continued to May 16, 1994,
in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 300 North "D" street, San
Bernardino, California.
Council Member Oberhelman withdrew his second.
The substitute motion failed for lack of a second.
Discussion ensued regarding the continuance of the matter and
the affect it could have on the application for reimbursement from
the Federal government.
Jeff Wright, P. O. Box 2341, San Bernardino, CA, expressed
concern that the item should not have been placed on the consent
calendar because of the costs associated with the project.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by council
Member Pope-Ludlam, and unanimously carried, that the plans for
widening the Kendall Drive and Cajon Boulevard bridges over Devil's
Creek Channel, in accordance with Plan No. 8813, be approved; and
that the Director of Public Works/City Engineer, be authorized to

bids. The project consists of removing the two cross gutters
within the south half of 9th street, construction of one common
cross gutter to improve riding qualities, replacement of a section

ESTABLISH SENIOR PLAN CHECKER POSITION
BUILDING SERVICES DEPARTMENT
- PLANNING &
(19)
In a memorandum dated April 21, 1994, Al Boughey, Director of
Planning & Building Services, stated that the purpose of the Senior
Plan Checker position would be to provide enhanced plan check
services relating to projects of economic and/or redevelopment
needs of the City and the Economic Development Agency. Therefore,
there would be no impact to the General Fund since funding for the
position would come from the Master Services Agreement established
with the Economic Development Agency. The establishment of this
position would allow the department to expeditiously process and
review projects of high priority, improve overall customer service
and provide information relative to permits and plans. As a result
of two meetings of the Council Personnel Committee being canceled,
the Chairman recommended that the item be forwarded to the Mayor
and Council for action.
Concern was expressed as to whether the position would be
filled from within the department or if it would be open for
recruitment.
Al Boughey, Director of Planning & Building Services, stated

MODIFY CENTRAL CITY SOUTH PLAN - REMOVE PLAN SOUTH OF
MILL STREET, BETWEEN INLAND CENTER DRIVE & 1-215
REDESIGNATE TO COMMERCIAL GENERAL (CG-l), INDUSTRIAL
LIGHT (IL) & PUBLIC FLOOD CONTROL (PFC) - TAKEN IN
CONJUNCTION WITH ITEM 29B (29A)
In a memorandum dated April 13, 1994, Al Boughey, Director of
Planning & Building Services, stated that staff is recommending an
amendment to the General Plan (Central City South Plan) which would
change the General Plan Land Use Map by designating portions of the
Central City South-l (CCS-l) District in the Central City South
(CCS) Plan area to IL, Industrial Light, and CG-l, Commercial
General-1, and removing this portion of land from the Central City
South Plan. The amendment would affect the area south of Mill
Street, northwest of Inland Center Drive and east of 1-215. Due to
the General Commercial land use designation which currently exists
within the Central City South Plan, the reuse and expansion of
existing light industrial facilities in the study area is not
permitted. Consequently, the amendment would permit the
development of equal intensity commercial uses and low intensity
industrial uses that would be compatible with the surrounding uses.
The initial study was completed and no comments were received. At
its meeting of January 6, 1994, the Environmental Review Committee
reviewed the proposed amendment and a negative declaration was
recommended. The Planning commission at its meeting of April 5,
1994, recommended that the negative declaration be adopted and that
General Plan Amendment No. 93-01 be approved, based upon the
findings of fact.
Mayor Pro Tern Devlin opened the hearing.

Carlito, has requested that the land use designation RM,
Residential Medium, be changed to CR-2, Commercial Regional
Downtown, on a 0.55 acre site located at the southwest corner of
North "F" street and 6th street. There is currently a medical
facility located on the property which is non-conforming. Approval
of General Plan Amendment No. 93-03 would bring the use into
compliance and would allow a west expansion of 40 feet. An initial
study was prepared by staff, and at its meeting of November 18,
1993, the Environmental Review Committee recommended a negative
declaration. The proposed negative declaration and initial study
were available for public review from November 24, 1993 to December
16, 1993, and no comments were received. On March 22, 1994, the
Planning commission recommended that the negative declaration be

public flood control and the change would conform its use.
Lenny Carlito, 167 Manchester Lane, San Bernardino, CA,
