J. Lorraine Velarde, Executive Assistant to the Mayor,
explained that the agreement with the Credit Bureau of San

with Lewis and Associates does not have a legal department. If
an account managed by Lewis and Associates requires legal action,
the account is brought back to the City and the City then secures
the legal services for debt collection.

of the Credit Bureau of San Bernardino's agreement to clearly

ALARMS IN THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AND REPEALING
RESOLUTION NO. 91-167. (27)
Daniel Robbins, Chief of Police, explained that presently
the alarm ordinance allows the Police Department to charge a
permit fee on an annual basis and impose fines for excessive
false alarms. He stated that the Police Department responds to
approximately 800 to 1000 calls and 93% of the calls are false
alarms. Many of the false alarms are triggered accidentally by
inexperienced employees of businesses or by a residential owner
who accidentally activated the alarm. He pointed out that police
services are utilized to respond to false alarm calls. Two
patrol units are dispatched on alarm calls, whereas three patrol
units are dispatched on robbery calls. Approximately 50% of the
false alarms calls are the results of mechanical errors.
Chief Robbins stated that his office has received many
complaints from senior citizens stating that the annual permit
fee is too expensive. Chief Robbins explained that the
resolution has been amended to provide a moderate income
exception to all City residents who meet the established
criteria, and includes a reduction in permit fees.
Chief Robbins stated that under the new resolution the
recovery cost will be lower than received in Fiscal Year 1991/92.
Chief Robbins answered questions regarding use of Community
Service Officers and non-sworn personnel to respond to alarm
calls. He stated that non-sworn personnel cannot be used on

program and programs already in existence. He stated that the
San Bernardino Police Department is involved in a two county
clandestine lab investigating unit which includes State and
Federal officers. The benefit of the program involves the
investigation and elimination of clandestine labs throughout the
County. The program is made up of city law enforcement
investigators, and Sheriff's Department personnel in an effort to
deal with all types of drugs. He stated that placement of an
officer from the San Bernardino Police Department on the IRNET
task force will enhance the efforts of the task force and
contribut", to the overall efforts by the San Bernardino Police
Department in the apprehension of major drug distributors.
Chief Robbins stated that the City's narcotic team has been
operating independently of the County. There is a proposal to
bring together the City's narcotic enforcement team with that of
the County Sheriff's Department under one building to share
information and resources needed to conduct investigations.

Member Pope-Ludlam, and unanimously carried, to recommend that

ACTION OF AUGUST 16, 1991 - 1095 W. SPRUCE STREET -

This is the time and place set for an appeal of the Board of
Building Commissioner's findings and action of August 16, 1991,
relating to property located at 1095 W. Spruce Street, San
Bernardino, California.
In a memorandum dated June 18, 1992, Al Boughey, Director of
Planning & Building Services, reported that the appellant,
Maurice Peters, has requested that the Mayor and Council waive
certain requirements that he believes to be arbitrary and
capricious. Mr. Peters believes that he should not have to bring
the structure (S ) up to current Building and Safety Codes, that
the vehicles should be disposed of in an orderly and decent
manner, and that all administrative costs should not be assessed.
Mr. Peters also requested that all certificates of occupancy and
business licenses be issued immediately.
Debra Daniel, Code Compliance Supervisor, stated that the
owner of the property has not obtained any permits to either
rehabilitate or demolish the premises. Ms. Daniel distributed
current photographs showing the condition of the property.
Ms. Daniel recommended that Mr. Peters obtain all proper
permits within ten days and complete demolition within sixty
days. After the time frame has elapsed and owner compliance has
not been obtained, the City will initiate abatement and property
owner will incur all abatement and other related direct costs as
a lien on the property or a personal obligation.

performance of city staff and how those actions violated his
constitutional rights under Amendments 1, 4, 5 and 14.
Debra Daniel answered questions regarding whether or not Mr.
Peters had previously agreed with staff's recommendations. She
stated that at the November 4, 1991 Council meeting, staff was
ordered to give Mr. Peters a complete list of violations with
time specified to correct the violations. At that time, Mr.
Peters agreed to the conditions provided in the list. Staff was
further directed to re-inspect the property and report back
within six months.
Mayor Holcomb stated that the Council has attempted to give
Mr. Peters every benefit of the doubt by hearing his appeal.
Mr. Peters stated that he has spent approximately $40,000
on his property since the seizure by the City. Mr. Peters
claimed that the City has violated his constitutional rights and
he and eight of his tenants are planning to seek legal action
against the city.
Mayor Holcomb responded that the City has offered numerous
opportunities to hear the case. Mayor Holcomb 3tu~ad that when
this matter came before the Council, the City tried to find a way
to minimize the impact of the code enforcement action by giving
whatever time was reasonably necessary to correct all
deficiencies on the property.
Mr. Peters answered questions regarding whether the pictures
presented by Code Enforcement staff represented his property.
Mr. Peters answered yes.
City Attorney Penman stated that the City has tried
repeatedly to ensure that Mr. Peter's rights are recognized, and
are observed. On many occasions, staff has recommended to the
Council that some type of immediate action be taken; each time
the Council has allowed Mr. Peter's another continuance. Mr.
Penman agreed that an abundance of due process is appropriate and
that Mr. Peters has expressed concerns.
Mr. Penman suggested that City staff prepare written
responses to Mr. Peters' concerns.
City Administrator Clark stated that if the Council approved
the recommended form motion, Mr. Peters would have sixty days to
abate his property.

City-sponsored activities in the downtown area through the use of
a temporary use permit, as opposed to a conditional use permit.
He stated that the proposed ordinance would not allow swap meets
in the downtown area.
Planning Director Boughey answered questions and stated that
the farmer's market is classified as a City-sponsored activity.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Reilly, and unanimously carried, that the public hearing
be closed and that said ordinance be laid over for final
adoption.

In a memorandum dated June 18, 1992, Al Boughey, Director
of Planning & Building Services, stated that a request was
received for the Planning staff to prepare a Development Code
amendment to address the deletion of the conditional use permit
requirement for the on-site sale of alcoholic beverages at
certain restaurants. The Development Code requires a
conditional use permit for on-site sales of beer and wine and/or
alcohol in restaurants. A restaurant without on-site alcohol
sales does not require a conditional use permit.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Estrada, that the Mayor and Common Council direct Planning
staff to prepare a Development Code amendment to address the
deletion of the conditional use permit requirement for
restaurants with on-site alcohol sales. *Note: No vote was
taken at this time.

City Attorney Penman advised the Council that the urgency
clause in the proposed ordinance conflicts with provisions in
Charter Section 121. Mr. Penman stated that the urgency clause
was written on an economic basis, due to the recession and does
not pertain to the immediate preservation of the public peace,
health and safety.
Mayor Holcomb explained that the owner of the restaurant,
located in the Thrifty Building, was assured by City staff that
he would be able to open the restaurant without applying for a
condi tional use permit to serve beer and wine. The owner is
ready to open for business.
Mayor Holcomb proposed that the Council approve the original
ordinance with the second reading to be given at the next Council
meeting and approve urgency ordinance today. He added that if
the ordinance is challenged, it would delay the opening of the
restaurant.
City Attorney Penman answered questions and stated that if
the ordinance is challenged, the ordinance could be declared
invalid, and the ordinance would have to be resubmitted for
approval with a first and second reading.
City Attorney Penman advised the Mayor and Council of the
need to take a vote that the matter of the urgency ordinance
arose subsequent to the posting of the Council agenda.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Reilly, and unanimously carried, that the need to take
action relative to the urgency ordinance arose subsequent to the
posting of the Council agenda.
Discussion was held regarding a timeframe for which the
ordinance could be approved and not affect the opening of the
restaurant.
City Attorney Penman stated that if the City misrepresented
itself to the business owners, of what needs to be done to open
the restaurant, a quick declaratory relief action or stipulated
judgement could be entered into by both parties.
Mayor Holcomb stated that he would personally pay for any
damages the City might suffer if the proposed action is not
correct.
City Clerk Krasney read the title of the urgency ordinance.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam, that the urgency ordinance be adopted.

AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR
THE DISPOSAL OF ANIMAL CARCASSES FROM STATE HIGHWAYS IN
THE SAN BERNARDINO AREA. (Continued from earlier in the
meeting. See page 14) (18)
Ci ty Administrator Clark explained that the City charges
Caltrans approximately $42.00 per month to utilize the City's
animal shelter storage facilities for the disposal of animal
carcasses. The City of San Bernardino has a contract with D & D
Disposal for disposal of animal carcasses from State highways in
the San Bernardino area at a cost of approximately $900 per
month. She stated that the City also receives animals that are
euthanized by veterinarians. Ms. Clark added that the City
disposes of approximately 1900 animals per month.
Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Minor, that the resolution be continued to July 20, 1992.
Mayor Holcomb urged the Council to approve the resolution
and instruct staff to review the facts and figures; and if the
figures are out of line, the City will notify Caltrans at the end
of the contract that the City will increase its costs.
Council Member Minor withdrew his second. The motion failed
for lack of a second.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Minor, that staff be directed to obtain figures on the
cost for disposal of animal carcasses before renewal of the next
contract; and that said resolution be adopted.

In a memorandum dated June 23, 1992, Ralph Hernandez,
Council Member, Third Ward, requested an opportunity to discuss
and take possible action relative to sign regulations in the
Development Review Code.
Discussion ensued regarding a business sign located on the
cornel: of 2nd and "G" Streets. It was pointed out that the sign
does not conform to sign regulations in the Development Review
Code.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Hernandez, and unanimously carried, that the item be

of signs that can be approved.

Mr. Penman gave detailed information concerning the change
order on the June 15, 1992 Council agenda. Mr. Penman stated
that on or about a month before the change order went through,
the contractor who requested the change order made a $1000
contribution to the Mayor's committee to fight Charter
amendments.
Mr. Penman supported his decision to refer to the Grand Jury
concerns regarding change orders, a $1000 campaign donation made
to Mayor Holcomb by a construction company that had received
change orders from the City, illegal grading activity occurring
in the foothills without proper City permits; the Mayor's denial
of the City Attorney's request to take a City engineer to view
property in question, and other matters pertaining to the
management of the Executive Offices.
Mayor Holcomb stated that Riverside Construction Company had
made a $1000 contribution to the "Save Our Charter Committee"
without solicitation from him.
Mayor Holcomb pointed out that the Executive Branch does not
initiate change orders, that change orders are initiated by the
City Engineer, which are then presented to the Council for
approval. The change order in question apparently started when
the estimate for building the storm drain at Chestnut appeared to
cost more than what the City could afford. In order to scale
the project costs down to where it would come within the
estimated budget requirements, the riprapping was taken out of
the original bid specifications. All bidders were given an
opportunity to bid on the contract without the riprap.
City Engineer Hardgrave answered questions regarding the
circumstances of the change order and the items that were removed
from the contract with Riverside Construction.

PROPOSED UPDATING, MODIFICATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF CITY
HALL LIGHTING (56)
In a memorandum dated July 25, 1992, Bert Murphy, Manager,
Facilities Management Division, stated that several proposals
have been received relative to reducing the cost of energy for
34
7/6/92
City Hall lighting. The object is to reduce electric lighting
cost while maintaining adequate lighting levels. Staff feels
this can be accomplished by replacing existing equipment with new
energy efficient equipment, adding occupancy sensors, daylight
override and other energy-saving devices. The total project cost
is $147,856 and the expected payback period is 36 months. At the
completion of the project, the City will receive an estimated
$11,000 rebate from Southern California Edison.
City Administrator Clark stated that under the proposed plan
to update and improve lighting within City Hall, the City will
save approximately $1,000 per month after recovery of start-up
costs.
Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam, and unanimously carried, that the attached
report on proposed updating, modifying, and improving lighting in
Ci ty Hall, prepared by Energy Controls and Concepts, dated May
12, 1992, be received and filed.
Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member pope-Ludlam, and unanimously carried, that the Director of
Public Works/City Engineer be directed to have plans,
specifications and estimates prepared for updating, modifying and
improving lighting in City Hall.
Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam, and unanimously carried, that the City
Administrator be instructed to develop a resolution for the
purpose of borrowing $148,000 from the Sewer Line Construction
Fund to front the costs for the installation of the lighting
project. The Sewer Line Construction Fund will be repaid over
five years at 7% interest rate.
CONSTRUCTION OF ORANGE SHOW ROAD - AUTHORIZATION TO
ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES
(S-l)
In a memorandum dated July 1, 1992, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that SANBAG has
approved the loan to IVDA in the amount of $800,000, to finance
the preliminary engineering costs for the extension of Orange
Show Road, from Arrowhead Avenue to Tippecanoe Avenue, and
construction of the Tippecanoe Avenue/Del Rosa Avenue Connector,
between Mill Street and Third Street. Since IVDA does not have
adequate staff to handle the selection, negotiation of
agreements, and oversee development of construction plans and
specifications, it is recommended that the City assume the
responsibility for these projects.
35
7/6/92
The request for a loan to SANBAG was for $1.2 million,
however, SANBAG was only able to loan $800,000. It is
recommended that these funds be allowed in accordance with the
following priorities: 1) Orange Show Road, from Arrowhead
Avenue to Waterman Avenue, 2) Tippecanoe Avenue/Del Rosa Avenue
Connector, from Mill Street to Third Street; and 3) Orange Show
Road, from Waterman Avenue to Tippecanoe Avenue.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Reilly, to approve for discussion purposes only.
*Note: No vote was taken at this time.
Council Member Estrada, Co-Chair to the IVDA Board,
expressed concern on the potential impact on the Planning
Department staff in completing the proposed street expansion
projects and the effects on other projects that are already in
the progress. Another area of concern relates to jurisdiction
and planning tasks responsibilities.
It was pointed out that tasks of planning should be under
the jurisdiction of the City of San Bernardino, because Norton
Air Force Base is in the City, and the three proposed street
expansion projects are also within the City limits of San
Bernardino.
Council Member Estrada stressed the importance
ascertaining how the three proposed street expanslon
would affect the efficiency of the Planning Department
projects that may be in the process for completion.

Council Member Estrada suggested that the Council consider

from Mill Street to Third Street project; and 2) the Orange Show
Road, from Waterman Avenue to Tippecanoe Avenue project for a
projected cost of $850,000. Ms. Estrada suggested that if the
City is to perform the work on the street expansion projects, an
inquiry should be made to determine if the City can dictate the
priorities of the proposed projects.
City Engineer Hardgrave answered questions and stated

City Attorney Penman answered questions regarding whether
or not the City has legal authority to dictate to IVDA how to
prioritize the street expansion projects and how to allocate the
funds. Mr. Penman stated that the Council has the freedom to
make an inquiry to IVDA to prioritize the projects, but requested
an opportunity to research and present a written response as to
the City's rights in asking IVDA to prioritize the projects.
Mayor Holcomb stated that for many years the City has
considered expanding Orange Show Road over to Waterman Avenue.
He explained that the City is normally the lead agency for
construction projects that are located within its city limits
with the exception of State highways. The City made a request to
SANBAG to fund all the engineering work in the form of a grant.
Instead, SANBAG issued a loan rather than a grant. Mayor
Holcomb pointed out that, originally, IVDA agreed to fund $1.2
million to the City, but IVDA did not have the available funds
so the funding request was made to SANBAG. Mayor Holcomb felt
that IVDA would still provide the $1.2 million to the City. He
added that there is the probability that large public works
grants may soon beccme available, but one of the criteria in
utilizing the funds is that City projects must be job ready.
Mayor Holcomb stated that the IVDA executive director felt
that IVDA should be the lead agency and perform the work on the
projects. It was pointed out that IVDA does not have the staff
nor engineers to facilitate the completion of the project.
City Engineer Hardgrave answered questions and stated that
his department would be involved in the selection process for the
consulting engineer, who would perform the design services on the
projects, and would be responsible for the managing of the
contracts.
The Mayor and Council suggested that City Engineer
Hardgrave submit a written request to IVDA to allocate funds for
the hiring of additional staff, if the Engineering Department is
greatly impacted by the proposed street expansion projects and
other projects.
City Engineer Hardgrave recommended that the City assume the
responsibility for the engineering design services and authorize
staff to manage the contracts, that the City move forward with
the contract for the first project, Orange Show Road, from
Arrowhead Avenue to Waterman Avenue; and that staff be authorized
37
7/6/92
to proceed with the selection process for the remaining Project
Nos. 2 and 3. Mr. Hardgrave stated that it would take
approximately four to six weeks to go through the selection
process.
City Engineer Hardgrave answered questions regarding the
probability of adding the remaining two projects to the selected
engineer's contract. Mr. Hardgrave stated it would appear that
the engineer would be willing to assume the responsiblllties of
the remaining projects.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Estrada, that the City assume responsibility for
engineering design services for the extension of Orange Show
Road, from Arrowhead Avenue to Tippecanoe Avenue, and
construction of the Tippecanoe Avenue/Del Rosa Avenue connector,
from Mill Street to Third Street, including the selection of
consulting engineers and execution of agreements relative to
providing these design services.
