DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT
MEMBER POPE-LUDLAM
BILLBOARDS
COUNCIL
(40)
In a memorandum dated June 10, 1993, Council Member Pope-
Ludlam stated that when the Development Code was adopted, new
billboards (off-premise signs) were prohibited throughout the
City. Advertising on billboards assists in generating revenue
for businesses and indirectly benefits the City through
collection of a business registration fee based on the square
footage of the billboard. Staff estimates that it would cost
approximately $3,000 for completion of an amendment to include
preparation of text, environmental review, staff report and
ordinance. The amount does not include review by other
divisions or departments. She recommended that staff be
directed to prepare an amendment to the Development Code to
consider permitting billboards within the city.
In a memorandum dated June 10, 1993, Al Boughey, Director of
Planning & Building Services, recommended that the Council not
approve the proposed amendment to the Development Code to allow
billboards within the City. Billboards or off-premise signs
advertise a business, service, goods or events at locations other
than where the sign is located. While billboards do generate
revenue, the City would realize very little direct or indirect
benefits. Direct revenue would consist of the fees collected by
the city. The City collects a business registration fee of $.40
per square foot, per billboard per year, with a total of
approximately $7,000 to $8,000 collected for all billboards per
year.
Indirect revenue to the city would be very difficult to
measure because the billboard could advertise a business,
service, goods or events not located in the City. Of primary
concern is the visual blight from billboards. Billboards are
generally located adjacent to freeways or major arterials. The
view from the freeway and certain arterials is one of the assets
which the City enjoys. Frequently, owners of billboards request
that vegetation be removed because it blocks the view of the
22
6/21/93
billboard. This vegetation not only helps to screen unsightly
views, but enhances the long range view of the mountains.
council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
council Member Hernandez, and unanimously carried, that the
matter to initiate an amendment to the Development Code to allow
for billboards within the city, be referred to the Legislative
Review Committee for further study and review.

GRAFFITI ABATEMENT PROGRAM
(R-6 )
In a memorandum dated June 15, 1993, Kenneth Henderson,
Executive Director, Economic Development Agency/Development
Department, stated that on January 6, 1993, a ninety (90) day
agreement with Consultant Patricia Leathers was approved to
coordinate a city-wide cleanup event for the first quarter of
1993. The effort was a success, and the contract with Ms.
Leathers was extended to the end of June 1993. Subsequently,
the contract was extended from July 1, 1993 to June 30, 1994
utilizing Agency tax increment funds with the understanding that
the City Administrator's Office would apply for Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. On April 29, 1993, the

CANCEL PROJECTS
BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
TRANSFER OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
(R-9)
In a memorandum dated June 17, 1993, Kenneth Henderson,
Executive Director, Economic Development Agency/Development
Department, stated that the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) reviews the City's progress relative to
approved programs, projects and activities. The City had funded
public services at the maximum allowed and funded the majority of
its capital improvement projects with Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds. The capital improvement category comprises
approximately thirty to fifty percent of the Agency's annual
grant.
During HUD's routine monitoring visits, the Agency was
advised that many of the capital projects had not progressed in
a timely manner. The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development stipulates that grantees should have no more than 1.5
times the most recent annual grant in its Letter of Credit with
HUD. HUD stipulated that the city's 1.5 Letter of Credit
Authority would have to be exhausted by April 30, 1993 or risk
losing the amount over and above the 1.5 times the annual grant.
Staff and the Community Development citizen Advisory
Committee (CDCAC) identified projects that would expend monies
allocated by the April 30, 1993 deadline. The most significant
of these projects identified was the purchase of the badly needed
fire equipment for the Fire Department. Exhibits A and B list
projects which are recommended for cancellation as a result of no
activity totalling $646,167.53 and projects coming in under the
Engineer's estimate totalling $481,964. These two figures added
together total $1,128,113.53, the amount awarded by the Mayor and
Common Council on May 10, 1993, to purchase the fire equipment.
The funds and projects identified would have been removed from
the City's Letter of Credit, effective May 1, 1993, had not the
Mayor and Common Council taken action to fund the Fire
Department's request to purchase engine, paramedic and accessory
equipment.
Tim steinhaus, Agency Administrator, Economic Development
Agency, recommended that the item be continued.
30
6/21/93
Concern was expressed relative to the transfer of funds for
the purchase of fire equipment while outstanding infrastructure
projects remain to be completed.
City Administrator Shauna Clark stated that the
Administration Department was not aware that other projects would
be defaulted as a result of the purchasing of the fire equipment.
Council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Miller, and unanimously carried, that the request for
cancellation of CDBG projects listed in Exhibit A totalling
$646,167.53, and the transfer of funds shown in Exhibit B
totalling $481,946, to fund the previously approved purchase of
Fire Department equipment in the amount of $1,128,113.53, be
continued to July 6, 1993, in the Council Chambers of City Hall,
300 North "D" street, San Bernardino, California.

APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS - GENERAL FUND RESERVE-
ATTORNEY & LITIGATION COSTS - CITY ATTORNEY'S
(5-6)
In a memorandum dated June 17,1993, James Penman, City
Attorney, stated that the city Attorney's budget contains two
accounts out of which litigation expenses are paid. The
"Litigation -- Outside Counsel" Account (No. 001-051-53049) is
used to pay fees charged by outside counsel. The "Litigation"
Account (No. 001-051-53050) is used to pay litigation expenses
such as depositions and expert witness fees for all cases, both
in-house and outside counsel.
For the 1992/93 budget, the Mayor and Council approved the
combined sum of $314,379 for the two accounts. This was $664,000
less than requested. The original allocation was exhausted as of
November 1992. Consequently, on December 7, 1992, the Mayor and
Council approved a transfer of $390,549 from the General Fund
reserve to these accounts. The transfer of an additional
$200,000 was approved on March 11, 1993.
Presently, the City Attorney's Off ice has bills totaling
$261,454.13. The balance of remaining funds total $73,818.18,
which leaves a shortfall of $187,635.95. These bills do not
include expenses for the month of June.
A substantial portion of the litigation expenses incurred
this fiscal year is subject to reimbursement by the Economic
Development Agency. The Economic Development Agency has been
billed $333,681.08, as its reasonable share of the fees incurred
in pending litigation.
In a memorandum dated June 18, 1993, James Penman, city
Attorney, stated that the estimated amount of the June expenses
equate to $132,000, which increases the total amount required to
$319,635.95.
city Attorney Penman provided a synopsis of the Staff Report
dated June 18, 1993.
Discussion ensued relative to the city Attorney's Office
exceeding their budget by $1,613,953. It was recommended that a
management audit be conducted of the City Attorney's Office.
A discussion was held relative to the cases being handled by
the city Attorney's Office, and the need for a determination as
to what cases will be pursued and the City's potential liability.
Discussion ensued relative to the $333,681.08 billed to the
Economic Development Agency and the current indebtedness of the
city.
