(8)
In a memorandum dated March 9, 1993, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/city Engineer, stated that the plans for
the installation of a main line sewer in Redlands Boulevard have
been prepared and the project is now ready to bid. The project
consists of installing an 18-inch sewer main. During the design
phase, it was determined that the installation of a relief sewer
line from Hunts Lane to Club Way would serve the same needs as
the 8-inch line from Club Way to 300 feet east of Gardena Street
and also provide an expanded system to meet the requirements and
request from the city of Loma Linda. The city of Loma Linda has
agreed to pay for the oversizing of our sewer line in order to
provide expansion capacity to meet their future needs. The
upgrade of line size would allow for future expansion above what
is currently allocated and would provide a relief line for the
existing 21-inch sewer. A cooperative agreement would be
executed prior to award of contract. The total estimated project
cost is $145,000.

(32)
This is the time and place set for a public hearing for the
proposed fee increase to clean-up deposits and the requirement
of damage bonds relative to the use of City Parks, Recreation &
Community Services facilities for special events.
In a memorandum dated March 12, 1993, Fred Wilson, Assistant
City Administrator, stated that as a result of previous events
held at City facilities; it has become apparent that fee
increases to clean-up deposits and the requirement of damage
bonds are necessary in order for the City to recoup damage costs
associated with these special events. It is recommended that the
bond and deposit be adjusted based on the number of people
attending the event. For organizations receiving special funding
from the City, it is also recommended that 50 percent of that
funding be withheld until after the event so that damage costs
exceeding the bond and deposit amounts may be covered without
impacting the city's budget.
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.

ARDEN-GUTHRIE FOCUS
STRATEGY
NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION
(R-15)
In a memorandum dated March 17, 1993, Kenneth J. Henderson,
Executive Director, Economic Development Agency/Development
Department, stated that staff has prepared a neighborhood
improvement strategy for the Arden-Guthrie community which is
plagued by a myriad of serious physical and social problems. The
Arden-Guthrie Focus Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy
represents an attempt to comprehensively address the social and
physical needs of this community and to effectuate permanent
improvement in the quality of life within the area by changing
the economics to such an extent that the community would be
maintained at a desirable level. The revitalization strategy
involves systematic neighborhood improvement which would occur
over the next one-to-three year period (1993-95). The total cost
for the strategy plan is estimated to be approximately $7 to $10
million, the cost of which would be incurred over the entire
three (3) year period.
The strategy is comprehensive and holistic in its approach;
and cannot be broken up and implemented on a segmented basis. If
the Arden-Guthrie Focus Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy is
adopted, staff would immediately pursue project funding through
the Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA). The strategy
includes a mixed variety of tenants and renters at each income
level and is flexible enough to, at some future point
proactively accommodate potential ownership opportunities for
tenants currently residing within the neighborhood.
On March 4, 1993, the Community Development citizens
Advisory Committee reviewed the strategy and recommended to the
Housing Committee and Mayor and Common Council, approval of the
park acquisition and four-plex acquisition (multi-use facility)
components of the proposed revitalization strategy.
Discussion ensued relative to the components of the Arden-
Guthrie Focus Neighborhood Revitalization strategy.

PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 92-08 - CHANGE
LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM RM, RESIDENTIAL MEDIUM, TO
CG-1, COMMERCIAL GENERAL - 2.37 ACRES - MOUNTAIN VIEW
AVENUE BETWEEN COULSTON STREET & 1-10 FREEWAY (46)
This is the time and place set for a public hearing to
change the land use designation from RM, Residential Medium, to
CG-1, Commercial General, on approximately 2.37 acres located on
the west side of Mountain View Avenue between Coulston street
and the 1-10 Freeway.
24
3/22/93
In a memorandum dated March 2, 1993, Al Boughey, Director of
Planning & Building Services, stated that the applicant, Alex
Goglanian Jr., requested that the RM, Residential Medium,
designation be changed to CG-1, Commercial General, for the
parcel on the southwest corner of Mountain View Avenue and
Coulston Street. Staff proposes that the adjacent parcel, under
separate ownership, to the south next to the 1-10 Freeway be
included as part of the proposed General Plan Amendment.
The purpose of the RM, Residential Medium, land use
designation is to allow for mUlti-family town homes,
condominiums, and apartments. However, because the amendment
site is relatively small, it would not lead to high quality
mUlti-family development. The purpose of the CG-1, Commercial
General, is, in part, to provide for new development of retail,
personal service, entertainment, office and related commercial
uses along major transportation corridors and intersections to
serve the needs of the residents.
Changing the land use designation to CG-1, Commercial
General, is in conformance with General Plan policies. There is
no commercial zoning in the city along this portion of Mountain
View Avenue; and the site is located at the intersection of
Mountain View and the 1-10 Freeway. Changing the zoning
recognizes the existing automobile service station, allows the
station to become a conforming use, and allows for the
development of uses which would be compatible with the adjacent
freeway and multiple family residential uses.
The Planning Commission at its meeting of February 2, 1993,
recommended adoption of the Negative Declaration and the approval
of General Plan Amendment No. 92-08.
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.

OUTSIDE ATTORNEY COSTS - CITY ATTORNEY'S
(41)
In a memorandum dated March 11, 1993, city Attorney James
Penman, stated that on December 7, 1992, the Mayor and Council
authorized the Finance Director to expend an additional $200,000
to fund outside attorney costs. At the February 15, 1993,
Council meeting it was noted that $163,969 remained of the
original $200,000 and the City Attorney's Office had billings in
hand totalling $266,702.73 which would exhaust the authorized
expenditure and leave a deficit of approximately $100,000. At
the March 8, 1993 Council meeting, the Mayor vetoed the motion
to allow the additional expenditure for outside attorney fees.
Additional costs continue to accrue and the City Attorney's
Office now has bills totalling approximately $61,990.81 which
leaves the account over $160,000 beyond what the Council had
previously authorized. Mr. Penman requested that the Mayor and
council authorize the payment of $200,000 to pay the current
bills and allocate an additional $300,000 to pay the anticipated
bills through the end of the fiscal year.

council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by Council

MANAGEMENT AUDIT - CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
(42)
In a memorandum dated March 15, 1993, Council Member
Hernandez, stated that on October 19, 1992, an agenda item was
presented relative to a management audit of the City Attorney's
Office. Due to a pending trial, the issue was deferred until the
spring or summer of 1993. On December 7, 1992, transfers from
the City's reserve funds increased the city Attorney's budget by
$390,549 and another $500,000 is now before the Council. If
approved, the total increase to the city Attorney's budget would
be over $890,000, representing a 280 percent increase in
litigation expenses over the approved 92/93 budget.
In a letter to the Grand Jury dated June 19, 1992, city
Attorney James Penman, requested that a management audit be
conducted and that the San Bernardino Grand Jury select the
auditing firm. It has been confirmed that Harvey M. Rose
Accountancy Corporation is the 1992/93 Grand Jury contracted
auditor. Harvey M. Rose was also one of the two finalists
recommended by city Treasurer Kennedy.
The lawsuit is now scheduled to go to trial in April 1993,
with an anticipated duration of three months. Harvey M. Rose
Accountancy Corporation is currently working on other management
audits and would not be available to begin the San Bernardino
project until July 1993, the expected ending date for the trial.
To ensure that the report does not effect the trial outcome, the
audit contract could stipulate that if the trial continues longer
than anticipated; the audit results would not be released until
the trial is complete.
Mr. Penman has expressed concern relative to the
impartiality of the audit due to Mayor Holcomb's influence as
Chief Executive Officer. However, since Harvey Rose cannot
begin the audit until July and Mayor Holcomb would no longer be
in office, this concern is moot.
31
3/22/93
It is recommended that the City Treasurer be authorized to
negotiate and the City Administrator execute an agreement with
Harvey M. Rose Accountancy corporation for a management audit of
the City Attorney's Office at a cost not to exceed $67,000; that
the audit process be coordinated by the City Treasurer; and that
no information concerning the audit findings be released prior to
review of the draft report by the City Attorney's Office and the
completion of the final written report.
Discussion ensued regarding the intent of the management
audit.
Gary Kirby, 1050 Yardley, San Bernardino, CA, spoke in
support of the proposed management audit of the city Attorney's
Office.
Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam, that the City Treasurer be authorized to
negotiate and execute an agreement with Harvey M. Rose
Accountancy Corporation for a management audit of the City
Attorney's Office at a cost not-to-exceed $67,000; that the
audit process be coordinated by the City Treasurer; and that no
information concerning the audit findings shall be released prior
to review of the draft report by the city Attorney's Office and
the completion of the final written report. (Note: There was no
vote taken at this time.)
Discussion ensued regarding the proposals received from the
audit firms. City Administrator Shauna Clark recommended that
the funds be utilized from the 1992/93 reserves.
Discussion ensued relative to scope of services submitted by
each auditing firm.
The motion failed by the following vote: Ayes: Council
Members Hernandez, Pope-Ludlam. Nays: Council Members Estrada,

City Attorney Penman stated that he would submit a letter
to the new Mayor requesting that an audit be conducted and

In a memorandum dated February 26, 1993, Janis Ingels,
Director of Management Information Systems, stated that
previously the Police Department was unable to keep an acceptable
amount of data on-line due to limited space available on the old
computers. wi th the new computers, the Police Department has
been able to maintain computer aided dispatch histories on-line
for longer periods of time, which allows reports and inquiries to
be made without waiting for the data to be reloaded from tape.
The department's files are extremely large and continue to grow
rapidly.
The cost of a disc drive recently dropped from $20,000 for a
one (1) gigabyte (approximately one billion characters of data
storage) drive to only $10,100 for a two (2) gigabyte drive (two
billion characters). It is proposed that the Police Department
purchase one drive from asset forfeiture funds; and with the
funds realized by the sale of old computer equipment, the second
drive be purchased from Management Information Systems funds.
The additional four (4) gigabytes would allow the Police
Department's files to grow at the current rate of speed for
approximately two (2) more years without storage space concerns.
council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by council
Member Pope-Ludlam, and unanimously carried, that an amount of
$10,100 of the $12,000 realized from the sale of 40 outdated
terminal drivers utilized in conjunction with the previous public
safety computers be authorized for the expenditure of one (1)
additional disc drive to increase the storage capacity on the
Police Records and Dispatch computers; that the Director of
Finance be directed to deposit the remaining funds in the amount
of $1,900 into Account No. 679-103-55486 (MIS-Hardware); and
that an expenditure of Asset Forfeiture Funds in the amount of
$10,100 be authorized for the purchase of one (1) additional disc
drive to increase the storage capacity on the Police Records and
Dispatch computers for a total of two (2) additional disc drives
at a total cost of $20,200.
