MANAGEMENT/CONFIDENTIAL COMPENSATION STUDY - PERSONNEL
CONCEPTS - TONY GERCZAK, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT/CEO
(27)
In a memorandum dated August 4, 1994, Barbara Dillon, Director of Personnel, stated
that Resolution No. 89-129 relating to the salary and benefits of management and confidential
employees states that a salary survey shall be conducted in odd-numbered years, beginning in
1989, and shall compare salaries of the employee classifications covered by the resolution with
similar classifications in other municipalities. A benefit survey shall be conducted in even
numbered years, beginning in 1990, and shall compare benefits of the employee classifications
covered by the resolution with similar classifications in other municipalities. A salary survey
was conducted in 1991. Because the salary survey was implemented a year later in 1992, a
benefits survey was not conducted that year. The salary and benefits survey was combined, in
order to reduce costs and to meet the terms of Resolution No. 89-129. The firm selected for
the survey was Personnel Concepts, at a cost of $7,200.
The Draft Final Compensation Report indicates that the City's management and
confidential employee classifications are not competitive with the labor market. Thirty-six of
the forty survey classifications are below the labor market median, and of the thirty-six classes,
twenty-four classifications are between five and fifteen percent below the labor market median.
The City's total compensation pay practices, including benefits, are competitive with the labor
market. The City's leave policies which include vacation, sick leave, holidays, administrative
leave; are consistent with a majority of the agencies surveyed.
Mr. Gerczak, Personnel Concepts, reviewed the methodology and results of the
management/confidential compensation study, and answered questions regarding the surveys.
Discussion ensued regarding whether to refer the matter to the Personnel Committee for
a more comprehensive analysis of the survey process and results; and whether the comparison
information used from other municipalities was accurate.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council Member Curlin, and
unanimously carried, that the matter be referred to the Personnel Committee.

PUBLIC HEARING - NON DISPOSAL FACILITY ELEMENT (NDFE) &
SOURCE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING ELEMENT (SRRE) LETTER OF
ADDENDUM - SEE RELATED ITEM #30 (24)
This is the time and place set for a public hearing to consider the Non Disposal Facility
Element (NDFE) and Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) Letter of Addendum.
In a memorandum dated July 27, 1994, Pat Malloy, Director of Public Services, stated
that in accordance with the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (Assembly Bill
939), the City adopted a Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) in 1992.
Subsequently, Assembly Bill 3001 was adopted which requires the Non Disposal Facility
Element (NDFE).
The City must update its original recycling plan, the SRRE, and add a new planning
element, the NDFE, to show where recyclables may be sent. The NDFE anticipates the
development and use of the following facilities in order to reduce the waste stream: a future
recycling plant, an intermediate loading center for recyclables, a recycling plant to process the
City's pilot program materials, and a green waste processor that would accept the City's
commercial green waste material. The letter of addendum to the SRRE describes the City's plan
13
8/15/94
to start reducing the amount of green waste and the recycling of certain commingled recyclables
to meet the 1995 goal to reduce the waste stream by twenty-five percent rather than the more
expensive alternative of the Material Recovery Facility (MRF). This action would cause no
impact on either the General Fund or the Refuse Enterprise Fund budgets.
Mayor Minor opened the hearing.
Jeff Wright, P.O. Box 2341, San Bernardino, CA, requested clarification as to what
changes have been made to the City's recycling program.
Shauna Clark, City Administrator, explained the City's short and long term recycling
program goals.

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE

Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council Member Miller, and
unanimously carried, that the hearing be closed.
Council Member Negrete made a motion, seconded by Council Member Devlin, that said
resolution be adopted. (Note: There was no vote taken.)
Discussion ensued regarding how the City would meet the State mandate to reduce the
waste stream by twenty-five percent by 1995.
City Administrator Shauna Clark explained the City's short and long term efforts to meet
the State mandate to reduce the waste stream by twenty-five percent by 1995, and fifty percent
by the year 2000.
Concern was expressed regarding the cost to implement the programs to meet the State
mandates to reduce the waste stream.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a substitute motion, seconded by Council Member
Oberhelman, that the matter be referred to the Legislative Review Committee.
The substitute motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members Negrete,

STREET NAME CHANGES - FORMER NORTON AIR FORCE BASE
(S-6)
In a memorandum dated August 10, 1994, Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public
Works/City Engineer, stated that certain streets within the former Norton Air Force Base would
be retained during the conversion to private use; therefore, it is requested that the names of these
streets be changed for incorporation into the City's system. The Inland Valley Development
Agency and the San Bernardino International Airport Authority have agreed to the proposed
street name changes as follows: 1st Avenue would become Miller Drive in recognition of
Woodrow Miller; 3rd Street would become Gericke Drive in recognition of Otto Gericke; 5th
Street would become Bland Drive in recognition of Frank Bland; and "Goo Street would become
Townsend Drive in recognition of Arthur Townsend. The $500 processing fee for a street name
change has been paid by the Inland Valley Development Agency. All affected City departments,
utility companies and the United States Post Office would be notified of the proposed changes
and afforded an opportunity to provide input.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council Member Hernandez,
and unanimously carried, that the Real Property Section of the Public Works/Engineering
Department be authorized and directed to proceed with changing the names of 1st Avenue to
Miller Drive, 3rd Street to Gericke Drive, 5th Street to Bland Drive, and "G" Street to
Townsend Drive.
It was the consensus of the Mayor and Common Council present that the remaining items
would be discussed on August 16, 1994.

John Giblin, Deputy Administrative Officer, County of San Bernardino, 385 North
Arrowhead Avenue, San Bernardino, CA, explained that the Public Safety Authority would soon

CHANGE ORDER NO. ONE - RELOCATE 11 MATURE OAK TREES -
$104,500 CONTRACT INCREASE - TIPPECANOE AVENUE, "C" STREET
& DEL ROSA DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS - MATICH CORPORATION
(S-4)
In a memorandum dated August 8, 1994, Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public
W orks/City Engineer, stated that there are several mature oak trees on the former Norton Air
Force Base within the scope of the Tippecanoe Avenue, "C" Street (Sheppard Boulevard) and
Del Rosa Drive street improvements under contract to the Matich Corporation. Concern has
been expressed by several members of the public regarding the need to preserve these trees;
therefore, an arborist was contracted to inspect the trees in conflict with the street improvements.
The arborist identified eleven trees that could be relocated with a good chance of survival.
The Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) entered into a separate contract with a
landscape contractor to box these eleven oak trees in preparation for moving. A separate
contract was necessary in order for them to be boxed before spring growth occurred. Matich
Corporation provided a quote of $104,500 to relocate these eleven trees to designated locations
33
8/16/94
within the former Norton Air Force Base. Staff has reviewed the price quote, and feels that it
is fair and reasonable. Matich Corporation has commenced removal of the existing roadway
improvements; therefore, these eleven oak trees need to be removed before roadway grading can
be started. Funds to finance the contract increase of $104,500 would be provided in the
following manner: seventy-five percent from the United States Department of Commerce
Economic Development Administration grant, and twenty-five percent by the Inland Valley
Development Agency.
Discussion ensued regarding the cost to move these mature oak trees and the possibility
that the trees would not survive the move.
Concern was expressed regarding the lack of planning that allowed the omission of the
cost of removing, boxing and transporting these trees from the original bid cost.
CITY CLERK RACHEL CLARK EXCUSED
At 11:19 a.m., City Clerk Rachel Clark left the Council meeting and was replaced by
Deputy City Clerk Vale.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that the City was not
funding the cost for the removal, boxing and transporting of these oak trees; and answered
questions regarding the street improvements project.
City Administrator Shauna Clark expressed concern regarding the need to approve this
change order due to an omission in the original bid to remove, box and transport the eleven oak
trees; and explained that the City would be charged stand-by charges for each day that work is
delayed due to these trees.
Discussion ensued regarding the need to approve the change order so that the street
improvements could continue.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council Member Devlin, that
Change Order No. One to the contract with Matich Corporation, for the construction of street
improvements on Tippecanoe Avenue, "C" Street, and Del Rosa Drive, in accordance with Plan
No. 9053, be approved; to authorize the relocation of eleven mature oak trees, which are within
the street improvement area, at an increase in the contract price of $104,500; from $4,113,313
to $4,217,813.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members Oberhelman,
Devlin, Pope-Ludlam, Miller. Nays: Council Member Hernandez. Abstain: Council Member
Curlin. Absent: Council Member Negrete.

CHANGE ORDER NO. TWO - RELOCATE TWO WATER MAINLINES _
$30,000 CONTRACT INCREASE - TIPPECANOE AVENUE, "COO STREET &
DEL ROSA DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS - MATICH CORPORATION
(S-5)
In a memorandum dated August 9, 1994, Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public
Works/City Engineer, stated that the Water Department is extending a twenty-inch water main
from Del Rosa Drive (Sixth Street) to the easterly portion of the former Norton Air Force Base
as part of street improvements being constructed by Matich Corporation.
During a field review of the improvements, the Water Department found a twelve-inch
and fourteen-inch water line crossing Del Rosa Drive (Sixth Street) which were not shown on
construction plans for the improvement of Del Rosa Drive. The Water Department has
determined that these lines are approximately one foot below the surface, instead of the standard
depth of three to four feet. Due to their shallow depth, these lines are in conflict with the
proposed improvements to Del Rosa Drive and must be lowered to facilitate the construction
work. Matich Corporation has agreed to lower these lines on a time and materials basis, at a
cost not to exceed $30,000. In view of the indeterminate nature of the work, staff believes that
this is a fair and reasonable quote. Matich Corporation has commenced removal of the existing
roadway improvements; therefore, the water lines need to be lowered to avoid delaying the
contractors. The funds to finance the contract increase of $30,000 would be provided in the
following manner: seventy-five percent from the United States Department of Commerce
Economic Development Administration grant, and twenty-five percent from the Inland Valley
Development Agency.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council Member Miller, that
Change Order No. Two to the contract with Matich Corporation, for the construction of street
improvements on Tippecanoe Avenue, "COO Street (Sheppard Boulevard) and Del Rosa Drive,
in accordance with Plan No. 9053, be approved; and authorize the relocation of two water main
lines in Del Rosa Drive, which are in conflict with the street improvements, at an estimated
increase in the contract price of $30,000; from $4,217,813 to $4,247,813.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members Curlin, Oberhelman,
Devlin, Pope-Ludlam, Miller. Nays: Council Member Hernandez. Absent: Council Member
Negrete.
CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE - ADJUST FISCAL YEAR 1994/95 BUDGET-
REINSTATE POSITIONS & APPROVE FUNDING (S-9)
In a memorandum dated August 10, 1994, City Attorney Penman stated that at the Fiscal
Year 1994/95 budget hearings, the Council engaged in a line-by-line review of the City
Attorney's budget, and deleted one proposed Deputy City Attorney IV position, one proposed
legal secretary position, and one legal secretary trainee position, while not replacing the
correlative costs in the outside counsel budget. The City Attorney's Office was the only office
35
8/16/94
that was handled in this manner. By doing so, the Council has made it impossible for the office
to perform its charter-mandated responsibilities which include defending the City in lawsuits.
Several cases have held that for elected officers, the governing body "has no legal
authority to use its budgetary power to control employment in or operation of the" elected
official's office; therefore, the Council may not legally single out an elected officer and then by
means of the budget axe, prevent him from performing his statute and charter-mandated duties.
It is recommended that the Mayor and Council add the following positions and necessary funding
to the City Attorney's Fiscal Year 1994/95 budget: one Deputy City Attorney IV position at a
cost of $81,494.40; one Legal Secretary II position at a cost of $37,793.60; and one Legal
Secretary Trainee position at a cost of $28,891.20, for a total cost of $148,179.20.
Discussion ensued regarding whether discussion should be held in open or closed session.
City Attorney Penman explained that the matter should he discussed in open session, and
that there is no basis for discussing the matter in closed session. Mr. Penman also expressed
concern regarding the City Attorney's Office ability to defend the City against lawsuits due to
limited staff resources.
City Administrator Shauna Clark explained that the Mayor and Council may go into
closed session to discuss pending litigation, and that the matter may be related to the Juanita
Scott, et al versus Common Council case.
City Attorney Penman explained that this is a separate matter from the Juanita Scott, et
ai, versus Common Council case; and that the Mayor and Council needs to address additional
funding for the City Attorney's Office.
Shauna Clark, City Administrator, expressed concern that it was only two months into
the new fiscal year and the City Attorney's Office could not have utilized all of its budget yet.
Concern was expressed that City Attorney Penman had a conflict of interest on the matter
due to his involvement in the Juanita Scott, et ai, versus Common Council case.
Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council Member Pope-Ludlam,
that the matter be postponed until Tim Sabo was present to represent the Mayor and Common
Council. (Note: There was no vote taken.)
Council Member Hernandez made a substitute motion, that the matter be continued to
later in the meeting.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
Discussion ensued regarding whether to discuss the matter at this time.
36
8/16/94
Council Member Oberhelman made a substitute motion, seconded by Council Member
Devlin, that the City Attorney's Office budget be adjusted as requested in the staff report dated
August 10, 1994. (Note: There was no vote taken.)
Concern was expressed that discussing the matter in open session was a violation of the
Brown Act.
