SALVATION ARMY SUBSTITUTE PAYEE PROGRAM (R-S)
In a memorandum dated June 15, 1994, Kenneth Henderson, Executive Director,
Development Department, Economic Development Agency, stated that on January 24, 1994, the
Mayor and Council approved Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding for the
Salvation Army Substitute Payee Program in the amount of $7,500. The agreement for CDBG
funding was sent to the San Bernardino Office of the Salvation Army for execution; however,
due to administrative changes within the Salvation Army organization, the agreement was not
executed until after the expiration date of the resolution. Therefore, the authorization to execute
the agreement was rescinded. Consequently, it is appropriate for the Mayor and Common
Council to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement between the City and
the Salvation Army - San Bernardino, Corps., for the Salvation Army Substitute Payee Program.
Council Member Curlin made a motion, seconded by Council Member Oberhelman, and
unanimously carried, that the Mayor and Common Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk
to execute an agreement between the City and the Salvation Army - San Bernardino Corps.
WEST SIDE PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER - INTERIM CONSTRUCTION
LOAN - NEW FRONTIER COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES (R-ll)
In a memorandum dated June 14, 1994, Kenneth Henderson, Executive Director,
Development Department, Economic Development Agency, stated that on June 9, 1994, the
Redevelopment Committee approved a $500,000 interim construction loan to the West Side Plaza
Shopping Center located on the northeast corner of Medical Center Drive and Baseline Street,
to be repaid upon receipt of a pending $500,000 Section 108 loan from the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
17
6/20/94
HUD has now approved the Section 108 loan; however, it may not be possible to secure
interim fInancing from HUD to meet the July 1, 1994 deadline for repayment of the loan. In
discussion with the shopping center's owners and staff, it was decided to jointly seek an
extension of the loan from the bank, with evidence of the HUD 108 Loan approval being
provided to the bank. Still it is not guaranteed that this request for an extension would be
approved; therefore, it is prudent to have an alternative plan for repayment of the loan amount.
Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council Member Pope-Ludlam,
and unanimously carried, that the Mayor and Common Council authorize the Mayor and
Executive Director to execute all documents necessary to process and secure an approved
Federal Section 108 loan for the West Side Plaza Shopping Center.

PUBLIC HEARING - DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 93-01 -
VARIANCE NO. 93-07 - STUBBLEFIELD ACCESS AGREEMENT -
CONTINUED FROM JUNE 6, 1994 - DISCUSSED LATER IN THE MEETING
- SEE PAGE 21 (50)
This is the time and place continued to for a public hearing on Development Agreement
No. 93-01 and Variance No. 93-07, Stubblefield Access Agreement.
In a memorandum dated June 15, 1994, Al Boughey, Director of Planning and Building
Services, stated that the Stubblefield Construction Company is requesting approval of a variance
to permit a substandard secondary access route, and a development agreement to vest this access
on property consisting of approximately 20 acres located on the east side of Highway 330,
approximately 1,300 feet north of Highland Avenue in the RS, Residential Suburban, land use
designation. The development agreement addresses two parcels: the first consisting of
approximately 15 acres on which the actual residential development would occur and a five acre
parcel which would contain the proposed secondary access. The applicant is responsible for
improvements, including through access, on the 15 acre parcel related to a future single-family
18
6/20/94
development, subject to the requirements/standards in effect at the time of development; and for
the establishment of the substandard secondary access, as described in the development
agreement, if the City does not require a standard secondary access route to be constructed.
The Metropolitan Water District (MWD) is proposing to construct the Inland Feeder
Pipeline Project which is a fourteen foot pipeline that would carry water. The Inland Feeder
Pipeline would follow the foothills from the Devil Canyon Portal, north of California State
University, San Bernardino, eastward, and is proposed to cross under Highway 330, south along
the alignment of the East Frontage Road and across HigWand Avenue, and would extend south
through the City of Highland. The pipeline would cross under Highway 330 in the vicinity of
the property owned by the Stubblefields which is being considered in the development
agreement. MWD is considering three possible crossings under Highway 330, and is preparing
soils and geologic studies to finalize the alignment or crossing. The southern extension of the
pipeline on the east side of Highway 330 would involve the removal and reconstruction of the
East Frontage Road. While MWD has not made any commitments in terms of additional
improvements, they did express a willingness to work with the City to try to incorporate
additional improvements into the reconstruction of the East Frontage Road, including the
potential for constructing a tunnel in the vicinity of the Stubblefield property. Staff believes it
would be best to work with the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) to determine the feasibility
of incorporating roadway improvements, while allowing for approval of the substandard
secondary access route proposed by Stubblefield Construction Company.
Staff has considered the following issues relating to the development agreement: the
possibility of a new tunnel; that the City has accepted the East and West Frontage Roads as
constructed by Caltrans; the existing 32 foot wide East Frontage Road is adequate in terms of
street width, for up to 60 dwelling units, based on limiting access route to the other properties
and prohibiting street parking; the substandard secondary access route, as proposed by the
Stubblefields, meets minimum requirements although a tunnel would be the best case. Staff has
incorporated the following concerns of the Mayor and Council in the development agreement:
a 25 year term; a maximum of 60 single family detached units; RS, Residential Suburban,
development standards including a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet; $3,000 per unit, not
to exceed $180,000, contribution toward a secondary access route. The key issue for the
proposed residential development is the feasibility of providing a standard secondary access
route. Staff believes that it is not fmancially feasible for this project to assume this additional
cost of providing a standard secondary access route. Language has been incorporated into the
revised development agreement specifying that the Stubblefield Construction Company agree not
to develop the property for a certain period of time, and address the monetary contribution that
the Stubblefield Construction Company agreed to provide, up to $180,000, and how it would
be used by the City.
There is a consensus that it is physically feasible to construct a standard secondary access
route; however, there is not a consensus that it would be financially feasible to do so, nor was
there a consensus as to the extent of the improvements required for a secondary access route.
Staff believes that the minimum requirements for a secondary access route should only include
19
6/20/94
the extension of the East Frontage Road from the northern boundary of the Stubblefield's 15 acre
parcel, the tunnel, and the southern extension of the West Frontage Road to connect to the
existing road. It is estimated that the improvements would cost approximately $500,000. This
averages the cost to be approximately $8,300 per unit, assuming a maximum of 60 units, raising
the question of whether it is reasonable to expect that this project could absorb this additional
cost. Staff feels that the developer probably cannot get 60 lots on the 15 acre parcel and that
45 units may be more likely, thus increasing the per unit cost of development to approximately
$11,000.
Staff has addressed the potential for providing a standard secondary access; however, the
feasibility in terms of full cost and likelihood or probability have not been addressed or
determined. The revised development agreement does not bind the City into future actions of
approving a secondary access route; it does give the City the ability to determine the feasibility
of such an action. Feasibility and planning studies are exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no additional environmental review is required at this
time. Pending further review, if the City wishes to consider approving a secondary access route,
that action would be subject to CEQA review. The revised development agreement does not
change the scope of the Stubblefield proposal as addressed in the initial study and the proposed
negative declaration is still applicable.
In a letter dated June 17, 1994, Mayor John Timmer, City of Highland, 26985 Base
Line, Highland, CA, requested that action on this matter be delayed until a joint special council
meeting between the City of Highland and the City of San Bernardino can be scheduled to
discuss the matter and its potential impact on the City of Highland.
In a memorandum dated June 20, 1994, Al Boughey, Director of Planning and Building
Services, recommended that the Conditions of Approval, pages five through eight, be revised
to refine the wording of the agreement pursuant to the recommendation of the City Attorney's
Office relative to the following issues: infrastructure construction, indemnification, and the term
of the agreement.

from June 6, 1994) (Discussed earlier in the meeting) (See page 18)
(50)

unanimously carried, to reconsider opening the public hearing.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council Member Curlin, and
unanimously carried, that the public hearing be reopened.
Mayor Minor opened the hearing.
Deputy City Attorney Empeno explained that the City Attorney's Office objects to the
development agreement because it is premature at this time as there is no specific plan or
21
6/20/94
tentative tract; the development agreement does not comply with the Development Code or state
law, and that a finding cannot be made that there is no feasible alternative access route other
than a substandard secondary access route.
Al Boughey, Director of Planning and Building Services, disagreed with the City
Attorney Office's interpretation, and felt that approval of the development agreement was at the
discretion of the Mayor and Council.
Mark Ostoich, Gresham, Varner, Savage, Nolan and Tilden, 600 North Arrowhead
Avenue, Suite 300, San Bernardino, CA, stated that it is the position of the Stubblefield
Construction Company that the agreement is valid, and urged the Council to approve the
development agreement.
Discussion ensued regarding the potential impact of the Metropolitan Water District
Inland Feeder Pipeline project, and whether the matter should be continued to allow staff time
to gather more information relative to the potential impact of the pipeline.
Aaron Hodgdon, Heart Bar Ranch, Arrowhead Springs, P. O. Box 2146, San Bernardino,
CA, presented to the City Clerk a proposed alternative dated June 6, 1994, for Route 330
Freeway/Frontage Road, enviroscape, recreation trails, and two different full standard access
roads; and expressed opposition to the construction of substandard infrastructure in the area.
Discussion ensued regarding the proposed primary and secondary access routes to the
property covered by the development agreement.
Warner Hodgdon, Heart Bar Ranch, Arrowhead Springs, P. O. Box 2146, San
Bernardino, CA, presented to the City Clerk correspondence dated May 27, 1994, and June 3,
7, 13, 16, and 20, 1994 supporting his position on this matter; and stated that he raised his
concerns previously at the Development Review Committee and Planning Commission meetings,
and requested that the matter be continued to allow the Development Review Committee and
Planning Commission time to review the proposed development agreement in light of the new
information regarding the MWD pipeline.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by Council Member Negrete,
and unanimously carried, that the public hearing be closed.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by Council Member Hernandez,
that the resolution be adopted which adopts the negative declaration and approves Development
Agreement No. 93-01, revised, and approve Variance No. 93-07, subject to the inclusion of the
Conditions of Approval outlined in the memorandum dated June 20, 1994. (Note: There was
no vote taken.)
22
6/20/94
Council Member Devlin made a substitute motion, seconded by Council Member

to proceed with its improvements to the property adjacent to the Route 330 Freeway at this time
and does not want to wait until the Metropolitan Water District determines the alignment of the
Inland Feeder Pipeline.
Discussion ensued regarding the conditions of approval outlined in the memorandum from
Al Boughey, Director of Planning and Building Services, dated June 20, 1994, and whether the
matter should be continued to review the impact of the Metropolitan Water District's Inland
Feeder Pipeline project on the development agreement.

Oberhelman, that the matter be continued to July 18, 1994, in the Council Chambers of City

6/20/94
CONTINUE 9/80 WORK WEEK PLAN
(47)
In a memorandum dated June 9, 1994, Barbara Dillon, Director of Personnel, stated that
on December 20, 1993, the Mayor and Council authorized a synchronized 9/80 work week plan
for City Hall and participating departments to begin January 31, 1994, for a period of six
months, through July 31, 1994. Employees in City Hall work the following hours: 7:30 a.m.
through 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. on the
alternating Fridays that City Hall is open.
Employees in departments outside of City Hall may work different shifts as part of the
9/80 work plan, based on the department's operations. The City has notified the bargaining
units of these situations. The Council action provided flexibility to implement other work
schedules in various departments, such as a 4/10 schedule for non-sworn employees working in
the Police Department. The 9/80 alternate work week plan has improved the City's operations
by increasing public convenience through longer service hours, more responsiveness to service
demands, improving compliance with Air Quality Management District, AQMD, requirements
to reduce the number of vehicle trips to City work sites, improved employee morale, and
improving the efficiency of internal operations.
The Director of Personnel would notify the appropriate bargaining units who would have
a mutual obligation to meet and confer on changes to the 9/80 alternate work week plan on ten
working days written notice. Ms. Dillon recommended that the matter be placed back on the
agenda in sufficient time to allow a minimum of a thirty-day transition period, in the event the
Mayor and Common Council decide not to extend the 9/80 work plan beyond December 31,
1995.
Council Member Negrete made a motion, seconded by Council Member Oberhelman,
that the 9/80 work plan for City Hall and participating departments be extended through
December 31, 1995, per the staffreport dated June 9, 1994, from Barbara Dillon, Director of
Personnel, with the Mayor and Common Council determining whether the program would be
continued beyond that date. (Note: There was no vote taken.)
Discussion ensued regarding the positive and negative aspects of the 9/80 alternate work
schedule.
Barbara Dillon, Director of Personnel, answered questions regarding the ways that the
9/80 alternate work schedule has improved service to the community, the comments that have
been received regarding citizen satisfaction and service, the services that are provided on the
Fridays that City Hall is closed, employee morale, the methods of public notification, and the
increased operational efficiency.
CITY CLERK RACHEL CLARK EXCUSED
City Clerk Rachel Clark left the Council meeting, and was replaced by Deputy City Clerk
Vale.
28
6/20/94
Council Member Negrete made a substitute motion, seconded by Council Member Miller,
that the 9/80 work plan for City Hall and participating departments be extended for a period of

Council regarding the following issues: sick leave reduction and the impact on local businesses.
(Note: There was no vote taken.)
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a substitute motion, that the matter be referred to
a Council Committee for review.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
