EMPLOYEE PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC)
RECEIVE & FILE REPORT
PURCHASE PROGRAM-
(8)
In a memorandum dated May 5, 1992, Janis Ingels, Director of
Management Information Systems, stated that on February 17, 1992,
the Mayor and Council authorized Management Information Systems
(M.I.S.) to develop an employee personal computer (PC) purchase
program.
A Committee was formed to research and implement an employee
PC purchase program. The Committee wrote specifications for a
basic system and requested quotes from fifty-two computer
vendors. Sixteen vendors responded to the request for quotes;
however, none offered quantity discounts. Quantity discounts
generally occur if more than two hundred units are purchased.
Many vendors were unable to provide reasonable financing, and
those vendors who did proposed interest rates of lB or 19%.
Quoted prices for the PC's were above current industry pricing.
Therefore, the Committee rejected all quotes for the reasons
noted.
As an alternative, it is proposed that the following program
be implemented in lieu of the original PC purchase program: a)
negotiate with the San Bernardino City Credit Union to provide
financing to interested employees at the current rate of
interest; b) provide employees with flyers describing the basics
for a PC system, including what to look for, warranties, and
possibly a list of reputable vendors; and c) offer employees
the benefit of payroll deduction to re-pay their Credit Union
loan. The alternative plan would be beneficial by providing
financing through a local source, and allowing employees to
purchase the system, peripherals, and software of their choosing,
with the benefit of availing themselves of payroll deductions as
a means of repayment.

Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by Council

regarding the Employee Personal Computer (PC) Purchase Program,

ARROWHEAD AVENUE LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE

In a memorandum dated April 27, 1992, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that a petition
had been received requesting the formation of an assessment
district for the installation and maintenance of landscaping in
portions of Arrowhead Avenue, generally between Mill Street and
Orange Show Road.
The petition is pursuant to the National Orange Show's
plans to landscape the frontages of its properties along
Arrowhead Avenue. The National Orange Show has offered to share
the proposed landscaping plans, which include plans for
irrigation and lighting, if the City would investigate the
formation of an assessment district which would include, and
enable, the remainder of Arrowhead Avenue between Mill Street and
Orange Show Road to be landscaped. The National Orange Show
currently owns sixty-one percent of the frontage area within the
proposed district's boundaries along Arrowhead Avenue, between
Mill Street and Orange Show Road that is liable to be assessed
for the improvements and annual maintenance. The assessment
would include the installation and annual maintenance of
landscaping, energy costs, and administrative costs. Prior to
the preparation of an assessment district boundary map and
Engineer's Report, staff plans to meet with the property owners
involved to discuss the proposed assessment district in detail as
well as other related concerns.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Reilly, and unanimously carried, that the City Engineer
and City Clerk be authorized to proceed with initiating the
establishment of an assessment district under the provisions of
Chapter 12.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, and that the
City Engineer be directed to prepare an Engineer's Report for the
proposed installation and maintenance of landscaping in a portion
of Arrowhead Avenue, generally between Mill Street and Orange
Show Road, in the City of San Bernardino.

INCREASE OF 3.75% FROM $34,200.50 TO $35,483.02-
MENTONE TURF SUPPLY - TRANSFER FUNDS (13)
In a memorandum dated April 30, 1992, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that special
provisions for maintenance of landscaping in Assessment District
Nos. 956 and 968 provide that the contract may be extended for
two one-year periods, and any adjustments in the contract prices
are to be negotiated at the time of each renewal.
Contract Change Order No. Six extends the contract for one
year. The contract was previously extended from July 1, 1991 to
June 30, 1992 with no increase in contract unit prices. The
contractor has agreed to accept a 3.75% increase in the contract
unit price for the 1992/93 renewal period, thereby increasing the
contract price from $34,200.50 to $35,483.02. The total
estimated annual cost, including incidental costs, is
$52,848.02. Funds to cover the costs incurred would be up-
fronted by the City, and reimbursed through special assessments
11
5/18/92
placed on the tax bills for parcels within the assessment
district, pursuant to the resolutions establishing the districts.
City Engineer Hardgrave explained that each assessment
district was its own legal organization and is self-supporting.
The City spends the money up-front for the district, then parcels
within the district are assessed for the costs the following
year, the costs are recovered in this manner. In the past, these
up-front costs have been paid out of the general fund, although,
the City is now developing alternative funding sources. He
explained that the assessment district reserve fund is generated
by a one percent administrative fee from the sale of bonds.
Shauna Clark, City Administrator, recommended the
establishment of a contingency fund for each assessment district,
in order to eliminate the one-year lag in cost recovery.
Discussion ensued regarding establishing a contingency fund
for assessment districts so that the City's general fund would
not have to up-front the expenses and then wait for
reimbursement.
Jeff Wright , P.O. Box 2341, San Bernardino, CA, expressed
concern relative to the funding source for the landscaping of
these locations.
Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Miller, and unanimously carried, that Change Order No.
Six to the contract with Mentone Turf Supply, for maintenance of
landscaping in Assessment Districts No. 956 and 968, in
accordance with Plans No. 6l92-A and 6056-A, be approved; to
extend the contract for a period of one year, from July 1, 1992
to June 30, 1993, at a 3.75% increase in the contract unit
prices, for an increase in the total annual contract price from
$34,200.50 to $35,483.02; and that the transfer of $52,849.00
from Account No. 254-000-30405, "Assessment District Reserve

PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH LICENSE FEES
FOR DOGS - CONTINUED FROM MAY 4, 1992 (32)
This is the time and place continued to for a public hearing
to consider adopting a resolution establishing license fees for
dogs.
In a memorandum dated March 25, 1992, Peggy Ducey, Assistant
to the City Administrator, stated that in order to reduce the
lB
5/18/92
general fund contribution, and increase the percentage to which
the Animal Control Department's operations are self-supporting, a
revenue enhancement plan for the Animal Control Department has
been proposed. The proposed revenue enhancement plan includes
programs to increase fees, and increase the number of dogs
licensed, including one legislative component that would enable
Animal Control to track unlicensed dogs.
A survey of surrounding cities and counties indicated that
San Bernardino's licensing fees are lower than average. By State
law, the license fee for an altered dog can be no more than one-
half the fee for an unaltered dog. San Bernardino's current fees
could be increased modestly and still generate an estimated
$27,500 in additional revenue.
Staff has developed several programs to reach owners who
have not licensed their dogs. First, a pilot "veterinary
partnership" program would be established with five area
veterinarians. These vets would offer licenses for sale at their
clinics and retain, as compensation, $2.00 for each license sold.
"Two-way" licensing envelopes would be distributed for display at
veterinarian offices and pet shops city-wide. The dog owner
would mail the attached license application, the rabies
certificate and the check to Animal Control, and receive the
processed license in the same envelope. Second, a program to
print the license form, along with licensing information, in the
City newsletter. Dog owners could fill out the license form,
include the required paperwork, a first class stamp, and a check
for the fee, and mail it to Animal Control. The license would
then be sent to the owner. There are almost no costs to the
Department for this program. Third, a program to increase the
number of dogs licensed would require enactment of an ordinance
requiring veterinarians to forward copies of rabies vaccinations
to Animal Control which would enable Animal Control to track
unlicensed animals, correct the violations, and incorporate them
into the system.
These programs are expected to generate an additional
$28,750 in licensing revenue. Combined with the increase in
licensing fees, the total estimated revenue would be $56,250.
Peggy Ducey, Assistant to the City Administrator, conducted
a slide presentation relative to the revenue enhancement plans.
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.

PUBLIC HEARING RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH FEES
ANIMAL RELATED PERMITS - CONTINUED FROM MAY 4,
FOR
1992
(33)
This is the time and place continued to for a public hearing
to consider adoption of a resolution establishing fees for animal
related permits.
In a memorandum dated March 25, 1992, Deborah Biggs,
Director of Animal Control, stated that the fee schedule for
animal related permits has not been updated since 1973. Of the
fees on record, there has been no consistent communication
between departments that issue other permits or licenses for
animal-related functions, relative to enforcement, and many fees
go uncollected. Staff answers complaints of unsanitary
conditions and/or inhumane treatment of animals, yet the
department derives no revenue to offset the cost of inspections.
Many of the permit fees would be collected prior to the issuance
of a business license, if applicable. The additional revenue
from all permits is estimated to be $3,200.
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.

FRANCHISE

1992
BUREAU - ALLEGED DOUBLE BILLING PRACTICES-
SERVICES - REPORT - CONTINUED FROM APRIL 20,
(35)
This is the time and place continued to for consideration
of a report from the Franchise Bureau relative to the alleged
double billing practices for paramedic services.
In a memorandum dated May 13, 1992, Lee Gagnon, Business
Registration Supervisor, City Clerk's Office, stated that at its
meeting of May 12, 1992, the Franchise Bureau recommended that
the report relative to the alleged double billing practices for
paramedic service be submitted to the Mayor and Council. The
report is a culmination of investigations conducted by the
Bureau of Franchises from February 1, 1992, to May 12, 1992.
The report from William Payne, Chairman, Bureau of
Franchises, dated May 12, 1992, stated the subcommittee believes
that the issues have become so complex that the Bureau does not
have the ability presently to solve the problems, and that the
parties involved have adopted a defensive posture due to the
pending litigation. The Franchise Bureau believes that this
issue is having a counterproductive effect on both sides. with
citizens caught in the middle. It would appear that once the
litigation has given both sides a more definitive role, a
solution can be negotiated. If the Mayor and Council so desires,
at that time the Franchise Bureau would move forward to work out
a method where both sides could co-exist for the betterment of
the City.
Shauna Clark, City Administrator, explained that the issue
of double billing hinges on Courtesy's position that they are
permitted by the County Health Officer to charge for paramedic
service, or Advanced Life Support (ALS), when an ALS ambulance
responds to a medical call, even when paramedic care was rendered
only by the City. The Bureau has recommended that the City
withhold any strong action pending the outcome of the present
litigation. However, it seems apparent that no matter what the
outcome of the lawsuit, the losing party would appeal and a
definitive answer would not be available for some time. In the
meantime, citizens would continue to receive bills from Courtesy
Ambulance for paramedic services that are not actually provided

by them.

Steven Kaufmann, Richards, Watson & Gershon, 333 South Hope
Street, Los Angeles, CA, representing Courtesy Services,
concurred with the recommendation to refer the discussion
relative to the report from the Franchise Bureau, and the alleged
double billing practices for paramedic services, to the
Legislative Review Committee.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Miller, and unanimously carried, that the Mayor and Common
Council refer the recommendation of the Franchise Bureau to the
Legislative Review Committee; and direct staff to negotiate a
franchise agreement with Courtesy Ambulance that clearly
specifies the conditions under which ambulance service would be
provided in the City; the agreement would delineate ambulance
deployment and authorized fees, and ensure that both parties have
a clear understanding of their rights, roles, and
responsibilities, and should reduce conflict in the field.

In a letter dated April 27, 1992, Mr. Philip Kassel,
requested an opportunity to speak at the Mayor and Council
meeting regarding the business license area tax (Municipal Code
Section 3.64, tax on parking and business improvement area).
Mr. Kassel felt that the requirement imposed on businesses
to pay an area tax was inequitable, and should either be
eliminated or disbursed equally through the City.
City Clerk Krasney stated that the Business
Division of the City Clerk's Office was conducting
the area tax, and that the motion should include
that the City Clerk's Office present its
recommendations to the Ways and Means Committee.

"K" STREET SEWER LINE EXTENSIONS
(R-ll)
In a memorandum dated May 12, 1992, Kenneth Henderson,
Executive Director, Development Department, stated that the City
of San Bernardino Department of Public Works has requested
$49,000 in CDBG funds to construct two sewer line extensions on
"K" Street, between the Lytle Creek Flood Control Channel and
Rialto Avenue.
The first extension is from the present terminus north of
the Lytle Creek Flood Control, to the north about 240 feet, which
would serve the existing houses on the west side of the street.
The second extension is from Belleview Avenue to a point about
337 feet to the north, which would provide sewer service to all
parcels abutting "K" Street, from Belleview Avenue to Rialto
Avenue. The total estimated cost of the extensions is $49,000,
which does not include installation of the laterals or the
payment of any fees.
Council Members Hernandez made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Minor, and unanimously carried, that the Mayor and
Common Council approve the use of CDBG Appropriated Reserve
Account Funds in the amount of $49,000 for the construction of
two (2) sewer line extensions on "K" Street, between Lytle Creek
Flood Control Channel and Rialto Avenue.

LUNCHEON WORKSHOP - NORTON AIR FORCE BASE - ECONOMIC
IMPACT - DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE LOCATING ITS FINANCE &
ACCOUNTING SERVICE FACILITY IN THE EAST SAN BERNARDINO
VALLEY (NB-1)
In a report dated May 15, 1992, entitled "Potential Economic
Imoact of the Defense Finance & Accountina Service on the East
San Bernardino Vallev", John Husing, Ph.d, economic consultant,
stated that in the wake of the Norton Air Force Base phaseout,
the possibility has emerged for the East San Bernardino Valley to
bid for the location of the Department of Defense's Finance and
Accounting Service's (DFAS) consolidated operations centers.
DFAS's operations are located across the United States and will
be consolidated into one location. The report investigates the
potential impact that DFAS would have on the economy of urban San
Bernardino County.
Dr. Husing stated that in January 1989, following the
announcement of the Norton A.F.B. phaseout, an analysis was
performed relative to the negative economic impact the phaseout
would have on the East San Bernardino Valley. The economic loss
was estimated at $263,123,000. annually. The potential for DFAS
to locate its consolidated operations center in the East San
Bernardino Valley area would offset 52.1% of the economic loss
from the Norton A.F.B. phaseout.
Based on assumptions presented in the report, the location
of DFAS to the East San Bernardino area would add 4,000 jobs
directly, plus an additional 3,152 jobs indirectly. Of these
7,152 new jobs, 6,432 would represent new employment to Southern
California, not including jobs induced by spending outside of the
area.
Danny Faldapour, URS Consultants, Inc., 412 West Hospitality
Lane, Suite #208, San Bernardino, CA, outlined two proposals for
28
5/18/92
locations on Norton A.F.B. that are under consideration as
possible options for DFAS's operations center.
Rod McDonald, Rancon, outlined two proposals relative to the
Tri-City corporate park and the proposed downtown superblock
that are under consideration for possible locations for DFAS
facilities.
Discussion ensued regarding the four options that would be
developed for submission to the Department of Defense as possible
locations for DFAS's operations center. The proposals are
presented in a report entitled "Cost Estimates. Defense Financina
and Accountina Services. Norton A.F.B. Location prooosal.

PUBLIC HEARING - GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 91-19-
CHANGE LAND USE DESIGNATION FROM RE TO RL - NORTH SIDE
OF IRVINGTON AVENUE WEST OF PALM AVENUE (40)
This is the time and place set for a public hearing to
consider the adoption of General Plan Amendment No. 91-19 to
change the land use designation from RE, Residential Estate, to
RL, Residential Low, on 9.74 acres located on the north side of
Irvington Avenue approximately 244 feet west of the centerline of
Palm Avenue.
31
5/18/92
In a memorandum dated April 29, 1992, Al Boughey, Director
of Planning and Building Services, stated that upon adoption of
the General Plan, the site was designated RE, Residential
Estate. Previous zoning specified the minimum lot size as 10,800
square feet with other standards similar to the RL, Residential
Low land use designation. Currently the site is situated at the
edge of the RE, Residential Estate, district and adjacent to the
RL, Residential Low district.
The proposed amendment would isolate the established RE
neighborhood located north and adjacent to the site due to the
Development Code requirement that new developments have
perimeter walls. However, an RL development without a perimeter
wall along Palm Avenue would affect the RE neighborhood as a
result of the establishment of RL lots adjacent to RE lots by
disrupting the scale and rhythm of the RE neighborhood, which is
not consistent with the intent of the General Plan to retain and
enhance established neighborhoods. The alternate amendment
proposal would provide for the continuation and expansion of the
existing RE, Residential Estate neighborhood fronting along Palm
Avenue, and provide for the establishment of RL uses on the
remaining western portion of the project site. The alternative
proposal would result in a more compatible land use division of
the site and the block.
Mayor Holcomb opened the hearing.
