April 5, 1993.
CHANGE ORDER NO. ONE COMPENSATION TO CONTRACTOR-
IMPROVEMENT OF DEL ROSA AVENUE, FROM DATE STREET TO
CARPENTER STREET - RANCO CORPORATION (7)
In a memorandum dated June 15, 1993, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that plans for
improvement of Del Rosa Avenue, between Date Street and Carpenter
street, directed the contractor to remove a portion of the
existing pavement. During the removal operation, pavement up to
15 inches thick was encountered. A request for additional
compensation was submitted by the contractor, due to the extra
work involved in breaking up, loading and disposing of the
thicker than normal pavement. A price of $3,706.36 was
negotiated to compensate the contractor for removing the 434 tons
of asphalt concrete. In addition, a price of $3,630 was
negotiated to compensate the contractor for the extra 30 hours
needed to break up the pavement.
The low bid contained a lump sum price of $2,200 for roadway
excavation. since the pavement was thicker than expected, less
dirt had to be excavated to reach the design subgrade elevation.
Negotiations with the contractor included a reduction of the
lump sum price for roadway excavation, from $2,200 to $1,100.
striping was to be done under Bid Item No. 15, for the low
bid lump sum price of $2,000. Traffic signals were to be
installed, at the intersection of Del Rosa Avenue and Date
street, by the developer of an adjoining parcel. striping was
included in this project, but was different than the striping
shown on the plans for the improvement of Del Rosa Avenue. The
contractor was therefore directed not to install the striping.
The low bid price of $2,000 for striping was included in the
change order negotiated with the contractor as a credit.
Approval of this change order would have increased the contract
price from $40,001.15 to $44,237.51. However, the contractor
declined to sign the change order. A claim for additional
compensation of $12,432.06 was submitted by Ranco' s attorney.
The City Attorney's Office has negotiated a settlement with the
contractor's attorney for a reduction of $550 in credit for
roadway excavation, instead of the $1,100 originally negotiated.
8
7/6/93
council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Hernandez, and unanimously carried, that Change Order No.
One to the contract with Ranco Corporation, for improvement of
Del Rosa Avenue, from Date street to Carpenter street, in
accordance with Plan No. 8575, be approved; to compensate the
contractor for extra thick asphalt concrete, deletion of
striping, and settlement of all outstanding claims, for a net
increase in the contract price of $4,786.36, from $40,001.15 to
$44,787.51.
CLAIMS AND PAYROLL
(8)
council Member Oberhelman made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Hernandez, and unanimously carried, that the claims and
payroll, and the authorization to issue warrants as listed on the
memorandum dated June 29, 1993 from the Director of Finance, be
approved.

HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION PROPOSAL - DAVID KENNEDY,
CITY TREASURER (41)
In a memorandum dated June 22, 1993, Mayor Tom Minor
requested consideration of the proposal by City Treasurer David
Kennedy to establish a Human Relations Commission in the City of
San Bernardino.
David Kennedy, City Treasurer, 505 E. Ralston, San
Bernardino, CA, submitted a proposal dated June, 1993, to
establish a Human Relations Commission to assure that all
citizens of San Bernardino are made aware of their rights and
responsibilities related to the reduction and elimination of
prejudice based on race, religion, national origin, gender, age,
disability or sexual orientation. The composition of the
commission would include a minimum of nine registered voters in
the City: be representative of minority and protected groups as
well as have credibility within the ethnic groups in the
community; be committed to the principle of equal opportunity for
all people and have the ability to function harmoniously within a
heterogeneous group; and that the commission include a High
School youth representative.
The cost to the City would involve a city employee's time to
take minutes and send out meeting notices; however, the
commission could appoint a volunteer member to accomplish this
task. It is suggested that the City Council consider the
appointment of a Council and/or staff liaison to work with the
committee.
The benefits of establishing a Human Relations commission
would result in: fewer grievances and problems presented to
council members; make San Bernardino more competitive with other
large counties and cities to attract new businesses; promote
racial harmony and reduce racial tensions; promote and support
the intercultural interracial community; provide a healthy avenue
to manage complaints and grievances; allow for a celebration of
di versi ty; and provide a service to unify the City in a common
set of principles and ethics.
Discussion was held relative to the disbanding of the
previous Human Relations Commission.
Jeff Wright P.O. Box 2341, San Bernardino, CA, stated that
the proposed Human Relations Commission should not contain a
sunset clause.

suggestion made by David Kennedy, ci ty Treasurer, to create a

committee and brought back August 2, 1993 in the Council Chambers
of City Hall, 300 North "D" street, San Bernardino, California.

PUBLIC HEARING - RECONSIDER COUNCIL'S DENIAL OF GENERAL
PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 92-06 AND TENTATIVE TRACT NO. 15407
- SOUTHEAST CORNER, SOUTH SIDE OF IRVINGTON AVENUE,
BETWEEN OLIVE AND WALNUT AVENUES, NORTH OF CABLE CREEK
FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL (51)
This is the time and place set for a public hearing to
reconsider the Council's denial of General Plan Amendment No. 92-
06 and Tentative Tract No. 15407, southeast corner, south side of
Irvington Avenue, between Olive and Walnut Avenues, north of
Cable Creek Flood Control Channel.
In a memorandum dated June 24, 1993, Al Boughey, Director of
Planning & Building Services, stated that the applicant, Sierra
Engineering, requested an amendment to the General Plan Land Use
Plan to change the designation from RL, Residential Low, to RS,
Residential Suburban, on approximately 30.59 acres located at the
southeast corner on the south side of Irvington Avenue, between
Olive Avenue and Walnut Avenue, north of the Cable Creek Flood
Control Channel, to establish a residential subdivision
consisting of 110 single family lots and 3.2 acres of open space.
24
7/6/93
The existing RL designation permits single-family detached
residential development at a maximum density of 3.1 dwelling
units per gross acre. The proposed RS designation permits
single-family detached residential development at a maximum
density of 4.5 dwelling units per gross acre. The property is
contiguous to RS designated properties to the east and north,
which have been subdivided and developed in accordance with
current RS standards. sixteen parcels adjacent to the western
boundary of the property are also subdivided in accordance with
RS standards. Thus, if the property is redesignated RS, the
subsequent potential development would be consistent with the
scale and rhythm of existing subdivisions. Due to topographic
constraints and Flood Control setback requirements, the actual
density proposed under Tentative Tract No. 15407 is 3.6 dwelling
units per gross acre, which complies with all of the development
standards of the Development Code, and would be consistent with
the General Plan if the land use designation is changed to RS.

Council to consider an amendment to the City's ordinance to allow
pot belly pigs on her premises.
In a memorandum dated June 28, 1993, Deborah L. Biggs,
Director of Animal Control, stated that on June 3, 1993, staff

ESTABLISH SEWER LINE CONNECTION FEE CREDIT - NORTON
AIR FORCE BASE REUSE (44)
In a memorandum dated June 15, 1993, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that in 1942 the
City of San Bernardino, acting through its Board of Water
commissioners, entered into an agreement with the United States
Government which provided that the U.S. Government would
construct a sewer main from Norton Air Force Base to the City's
interceptor line in south "E" Street at Athol Street; and that
the City would accept the sewage from Norton for treatment. The
term of the agreement was for 50 years.
The Inland Valley Development Agency (IVDA) has requested
that the sewer system for Norton be transferred as a public
benefit. The outfall line, from Norton to South "E" Street, will
be included in the transfer of sewer facilities. IVDA plans to
operate and maintain these systems. They expect to contract with
the City of San Bernardino for maintenance until they are
upgraded to meet city standards, at which time, they will be
turned over to the city.
The Board of Water Commissioners has established a credit of
1,000,000 gallons of sewage per day toward the Sewer Plant
capacity Fee. This credit recognizes the quantity of sewage
generated when Norton was at full staffing levels. About 75,000
gallons per day will be deducted for the two areas of Air Force
housing that will remain. Any unused portion of this credit will
expire after a period of seven years. The credit allowed will be
used by the IVDA and San Bernardino International Airport

SET PUBLIC HEARING EXPANSION OF
TELEVISION (CATV) USERS TAX - VIDEO USERS
TELEVISION)
CABLE ACCESS
TAX (WIRELESS
(46)
In a memorandum dated June 25, 1993, Fred Wilson, Assistant
City Administrator, recommended that the Mayor and Council set a
public hearing to consider adoption of a proposed amendment to
the city's Service User's (Utility Tax) ordinance to impose an
8.5% utility tax to users of the wireless television service in
the city of San Bernardino.
The service is a new alternative to traditional cable
television service in the City. The wireless television service
is a line-of-sight microwave signal transmitted directly from
Riverside to small microwave dishes placed on the roofs of homes
or businesses. The frequencies are then converted from
microwaves to channel selections on standard television sets.
The monthly cost for this service is $26.95 and approximately
twenty channels are provided. Cross county Wireless Cable Co.,
is the name of the firm providing this service.
33
7/6/93
The proposed ordinance amends Chapter 3.44 of the San
Bernardino Municipal Code and includes this service under the
definition of video provider as one who provides one or more
channels of video programming via multi-point distribution
services (wireless cable) or any other technOlogies.
It is estimated that imposing the service users tax (utility
tax) on users of this service will generate an additional
$100,000 per fiscal year in revenue. The average utility tax
cost for one year of wireless cable service will be $27.50 per
household, and it is estimated that approximately 5,000 residents
of San Bernardino subscribe to the Cross County Wireless Cable
Company.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Oberhelman, and unanimously carried, that a
public hearing be set for 10:00 a.m., on September 7, 1993, for
public input regarding expanding the CATV users tax to include a
video users tax.
