DOWNGRADE OF PURCHASING CLERK TO ACCOUNT CLERK I
FINANCE DEPARTMENT (11)
In a memorandum dated September 23, 1992, Barbara Dillon,
Director of Personnel, stated that Fred Wilson, Acting Director
of Finance, has requested that one Purchasing Clerk position be
downgraded to Account Clerk I, as the Purchasing Clerk would be
retiring in September 1992.

management audit had been conducted of the Finance Department.
The audit identified the lack of entry-level and mid-level
support personnel as one of the factors limiting long-range
planning, and appropriate budget analysis and forecasting. The
lack of staff forces the senior accounting staff to perform many
routine daily accounting activities which can be performed by
entry-level staff. This problem can be addressed with the
assistance of more entry-level support.

Member Hernandez, and unanimously carried, that one Purchasing

DEMAND MEASURES - CONGESTION MANAGEMENT PLAN (12)
In a memorandum dated September 23, 1992, Roger G.
Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that
proposition III was approved by the voters in order to address
the increasing traffic congestion and pollutants emitted by motor
vehicles. SANBAG developed a model trip reduction and travel
demand element ordinance that promotes alternate transportation
methods such as carpool, vanpool, transit, bicycles, and park-
and-ride lots, improvements in the balance between jobs and
housing, flexible work hours and parking management.
Proposition III requires that SANBAG, the designated
Congestion Management Agency, must certify that each local agency
has complied with the trip reduction and travel demand element.
Failure for a local agency to be certified could result in being
found ineligible to receive Proposition III and Measure I funds.
Adoption of the trip reduction and travel demand element model
ordinance by December 31, 1992 would be viewed as demonstration
of a good faith effort.
9
10/5/92
council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Hernandez, and unanimously carried, that the Model Trip
Reduction and Travel Demand Measures Ordinance, as required by

CORNER BELMONT AVENUE & CHURCHILL STREET MATICH
CORPORATION (13)
In a memorandum dated September 22, 1992, Roger G.
Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that
plans for the improvement of Belmont Avenue required the
installation of street lights. During construction, it was
discovered that the existing service cabinet only provided 120
volts, whereas, the City'S street lighting policies and
procedures call for street lights to be served with 240 volts.
In order to provide 240 volt service for the street lights
installed under this contract, the contractor was required to
install a new service cabinet, conduit and conductors from the
intersection of Olive Avenue and Belmont Avenue. The total net
cost for the extra work based upon a time and materials basis is
$7,464.52.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Hernandez, and unanimously carried, that contract Change
Order No. Four to the contract with Matich corporation, for the
street improvements on Belmont Avenue, in accordance with Plan
No. 8505, be approved; to authorize the contractor to install a
street lighting service pedestal and additional conduit and
wiring, for an increase in the contract price of $7,464.52; from

WIDENING OF SOUTH "E" STREET BRIDGE OVER SANTA ANA
RIVER - EXECUTE ESCROW AGREEMENT (14)
In a memorandum dated September 16, 1992, Roger G.
Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that
ten percent of the cost of work accomplished by a contractor is
retained by the contracting agency, and paid to the contractor
after expiration of the 30-day lien period. However, Section
10263 of the State of California Public Works Contract Code
allows the contractor to direct the agency to deposit the
retention funds into an escrow account. These funds would be
held by the Escrow Agent until such time as the agency gives
notice in writing that the funds, plus interest, can be
withdrawn by the contractor.
The Director of Public Works/Engineer recommended that the
escrow agreement for the widening of south "E" Street Bridge over
Santa Ana River, be approved.
Discussion ensued regarding the legal aspects of the escrow
agreement and whether or not the city is required to pay the
retention funds to the contractor as mandated by State law.
Sr. Assistant city Attorney Morillo advised the Mayor and
Council that the city Attorney's Office does not view payment of
the retention funds to be mandatory, but indicated that future
contracts would not include this provision.
It was pointed out that the contract with Brutuco
Engineering and Construction Inc., incorporated Caltrans'
specifications to require binding arbitration provisions.

ENCROACHMENT OF BANNER POLE - HOSPITALITY LANE (NORTH
SIDE), WEST OF BUSINESS CENTER DRIVE - HOSPITALITY LANE
BUSINESS ASSOCIATION - APPROVE IN PRINCIPLE (S-2)
In a memorandum dated September 29, 1992, Roger G.
Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that
the Hospitality Lane Business Association has requested
permission to install a 12-inch square steel tube in the north
parkway for Hospitality Lane, west of Business Center Drive. The
tube, 4 feet in height, would serve as a sleeve for a 10-inch WF
beam to support a banner across Hospitality Lane. A similar tube
would be installed within the parcel south of Hospitality Lane.
The beams would be inserted into the sleeves, whenever it is
desired to display a banner to advertise an event sponsored by
the Hospitality Lane Business Association.
It is proposed that a provision be included in the License
Agreement to require the Association to obtain approval from the
city Administrator for the message on the banner and duration of
the event that would be displayed. An administrative fee of $500
would be required to cover the costs for processing the license
agreement.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer,
stated that he is not in favor of the approach of installing the
banner. He recommended that the City have jurisdiction over the
installation of the poles for control purposes and that the City
be authorized to install the two banner poles.
City Engineer Hardgrave proposed that the City

Discussion ensued regarding the matter being referred to the
Economic Development Agency's portion of the agenda to authorize

Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Miller, that the request from the Hospitality Lane
Business Association for permission to install a banner pole in
the right-of-way of Hospitality Lane, west of Business Center
Drive, be continued to the Economic Development Agency's agenda.
(Note: No vote was taken on the motion.)
Sr. Assistant City Attorney Morillo questioned the basis for
adding the item to the Economic Development Agency's agenda.
Mayor Holcomb suggested that the Council approve the concept
of a banner pole if the pole is owned by the Economic Development
Agency.

council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Pope-Ludlam, that the request from the Hospitality Lane
Business Association for permission to install a banner pole in

DISCUSS AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING INDIAN BINGO
- COUNCIL MEMBER VALERIE POPE-LUDLAM (S-3)
In a memorandum dated September JO, 1992,
Valerie Pope-Ludlam, requested to discuss and
action regarding Indian Bingo.
Council Member
take possible
Discussion was held regarding the San Manuel Mission Band of
Indians' intent to relocate its facility to a site on Hospitality
Lane or to another city. It was suggested that a formal
committee be established to determine if the San Manuel Mission
Band of Indians are negotiating with other cities and determine
what impact the move would have on the City of San Bernardino.
MAYOR HOLCOMB RETURNED
At 10:JJ a.m., Mayor Holcomb returned to the Council meeting
and assumed the duties of Mayor.
Members of the Council stated that they have been
negotiating as a committee with the San Manuel Band of Mission
Indians. The city is waiting to receive a copy of agreement
documents detailing options for the reuse of the current
facility.
17
10/5/92
A Member of the Council stated that he has personally spoken
with a member of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and has
requested that their attorney inform the City of their
intentions.
A discussion was held regarding the possibility of the San
Manuel Band of Mission Indians relocating to the City of Colton.
It was pointed out that the city of San Bernardino does not have
jurisdiction on the reservation or the property that the current
bingo facility is located on.
Sr. Assistant City Attorney Morillo responded to allegations
that the city Attorney's Office may have hampered negotiations
with the Indians.
Mayor Holcomb explained that there was a meeting with the
Indian Tribe's attorney and members of the Tribal Council. Many
of the issues were agreed upon in principle. However, two of the
issues were not resolved. The meeting was adjourned with the
understanding that San Manuel Band of Mission Indians would come
back with more information. The city of San Bernardino is still
waiting on information from the Indians' attorney.
Mayor Holcomb stated that the Governor's Office, the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, and the Secretary of Interior must make the
final decision on any proposal the Indians may have to relocate
its facilities. He felt that these organizations would not set a
precedent by allowing the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians to
set up gaming wherever they desire. The only way the Indians
would be able to relocate their bingo operation to another
location is if they close down their current operation in San
Bernardino. The City wants to ensure that the proposed reuse of
their facility is agreeable with the neighborhood.
Mayor Holcomb voiced concern that the Indians may compete
with the National Orange Show for gaming opportunities.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Miller, that the City's Indian Bingo Negotiation
Committee be authorized to reopen negotiations. (*Note: No vote
was taken at this time.)
It was suggested that the motion be amended to authorize the
Chairman of the committee to write a letter to the San Manuel
Band of Mission Indians.
18
10/5/92
Mayor Holcomb expressed his concern that the City may reach
an arrangement with the Indians without considering the future
impact on the reuse of the facility.
It was pointed out that the San Manuel Band of Mission
Indians have requested that the City supply them with proposals
for the reuse of the facility.
Mayor Holcomb suggested that the San Manuel Band of Mission
Indians be given an opportunity to determine the use for the
facility since it is their property; and that the issues
involving potential gambling competition between the Indians and
the National Orange Show should be resolved prior to concluding
negotiations with the Indians.
council Member Pope-Ludlam made a substitute motion,
seconded by Council Member Miller, and unanimously carried, that
the Indian Bingo Negotiation Committee be authorized to reopen
negotiations and to write a letter to the San Manuel Band of
Mission Indians.

that three years ago the Council by resolution said there would
be a salary survey made, and that the salary survey would be
implemented in 1990 to adjust managers' salaries to parity with
comparable cities. In 1990 the managers voluntarily gave up
their raises because of the city's financial condition. In 1991
the managers did not request a raise. This is the only group of
city employees that has not had a raise in three years.

DISCUSS POLICE FACILITY RENOVATION AND WORLD TRADE
CENTER - RELATIVE TO INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS RECRUITMENT
& RETENTION NEEDS ASSESSMENT - CONTINUED FROM SEPTEMBER
21, 1992 (26 & R-ll)
This is the time and place set for a luncheon workshop to
discuss the Police facility renovation and World Trade Center
relative to International Business Recruitment & Retention Needs
Assessment.
Tim steinhaus, Agency Administrator, introduced Merri Tuten,
Bill Fulton, and Bill Foist of The Greater Los Angeles World
Trade Center Association.
Merri Tuten of The World Trade Center reviewed the criteria
used by other cities to attract and retain international
business. She pointed out that there are a number of cities
competing for international business opportunities. cities
include Ontario, Riverside, and the States of utah, Arizona,
Nevada and New Mexico.
Ms. Tuten presented suggestions relative to attracting
international business to the city of San Bernardino.
Bill Foist, independent consultant, World Trade Center
Association, presented statistical information relative to over
1,700 surveys which were sent out to residents of the city. Over
95.3% of the residents surveyed responded that they wanted local
23
10/5/92
government programs that would attract international
businesses in the city. Mr. Foist stated that the survey
showed how residents viewed City government. Many of
respondents indicated they wanted to see a balanced economy,
jobs and less crime in the community.

Merri Tuten commented on the strategies for implementing a
World Trade Center for San Bernardino. She pointed out that
consideration should be made as to the type of resources that
exist in the community and whether or not the community will
support the proposal. She pointed out that the community may not
be aware of the types of jobs needed in the area to bring about a
balanced economy.
Bill Foist proposed that San Bernardino should focus on the
use of Norton Air Force Base. He recommended that Norton Air
Force Base be expanded as a completion and modification center of
smaller aircrafts. Mr. Foist recommended that no infrastructure
plans be accomplished at or near Norton Air Force Base until
there is a definitive plan, developed and approved for the entire
basin for its conversion. To bring in additional rail or
additional street intersect traffic, water, sewer, or power would
not be appropriate. It is strongly recommended that there be no
program or project in relation to Norton for a transportation hub
that would do any harm to ontario's passenger volume.
Mr. Foist answered questions regarding how the City could
control the use of Norton Air Force Base. He stated that the
City of San Bernardino could maintain the influence of Norton Air
Force Base by making recommendations to the IVDA or Airport
Regional Authority and take an active role in the decision making
process. The City is in a position to have a very strong voice
in planning the reuse of Norton.
Ms. Tuten commented that in the last year, since the
beginning of Phase I, contact has been made with the Port of Los
Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, the railroads and the
airports. The Port of Los Angeles proposes to establish a
foreign trade zone. If the City of San Bernardino decides to
integrate an inland port concept, there is the possibility that
San Bernardino could be as an inland port under the designation
of the Port of Los Angeles.
Ms. Tuten presented options for raising name recognition for
San Bernardino as a World Trade Center in Southern California,
the USA and around the world. San Bernardino is known for its
rail history in transportation. It is proposed that San
24
10/5/92
Bernardino establish name recognition as a hub for auto racing
and sports marketing. San Bernardino is located within an hour
of the second largest media market in the united States. She
indicated that there is demand for a year round auto racing
facility. Along with a year round auto racing facility, there
could be training facilities, research and development businesses
in the area to maintain the cash flow.
Tim steinhaus answered questions regarding an appropriate
site to develop an auto racing facility.
Merri Tuten also proposed that the city consider
establishing San Bernardino as an environmental hub. She
recommended that the city be considered as a rail recovery
facility for the rail yards; establish a market development zone
to provide incentives to attract companies to reprocess waste
material and turn it into a marketable product; attract
manufacturers of air, ground, and water cleaning processing
equipment to locate in San Bernardino.
Ms. Tuten explained that in order for the City to implement
a plan for a World Trade Center, the City should confirm that the
Economic Development Agency is the lead agency on business
recruitment, retention and business development. The Economic
Development Agency should have authority to evaluate and audit
the redevelopment projects and sunset the projects when
necessary. The city of San Bernardino should establish a private
sector advisory board to assist the Economic Development Agency;
and coordinate the marketing efforts of Main Street, and the
Convention and visitors Bureau.
Merri Tuten proposed that the city implement the following
as expeditiously as possible: 1) Accept and adopt the report;
2) Select a strategy focus on what the city desires to do; 3)
Set priorities for the Economic Development Agency's business
development office; 4) Adopt the recommendations pertaining to
Economic Development Agency and that EDA have a private sector
board mandated to have recruitment and retention as its number
one priority; 5) Publicize and involve the community in the
proposal to establish a World Trade Center in San Bernardino;
6) Take an aggressive role regarding the use of Norton Air Force
Base.
Discussion ensued regarding the recommendation to establish
a "One-Stop Shop" for economic development, and establish a
private sector advisory board to assist the Economic Development
Agency in conducting business for redevelopment, business
recruitment and retention without interference from the
Mayor/Council. It was pointed out that San Bernardino is well
known as a difficult place to do business because of the
political climate facing the Economic Development Agency.
25
10/5/92
Comments were received regarding a proposal to establish
incentive based compensation for all staff based on success in
bringing in new businesses and retaining existing businesses. It
was suggested that an incentive based compensation program be
implemented for police officers for their outstanding
contribution and service in sOlving crime in the City of San
Bernardino.

Mayor Holcomb suggested that another workshop session be set
to discuss and take possible action regarding the City of San
Bernardino International Business Recruitment/Retention Needs

the first meeting in November, 1992. (*Note: No vote was taken

NEW POLICE FACILITY
Peggy Ducey, Assistant to the City Administrator, requested
direction from the Mayor and Council regarding the new police
facility. Mrs. Ducey stated that Archetype International
completed a space study for the Police Department. Direction was
given to specifically analyze the space needs for the city of
San Bernardino Police Department. The total space needed for
police operations was determined to be approximately 55,320
square feet. The total space available at the new site,
Buildings "A" and "B", is approximately 50,907 square feet which
results in a space deficit of 4,400 square feet for current
space needs. Building "A" is a four-story building located at
the northeast corner of "E" Street and 7th Street; and Building
"B" is a two-story structure to the north. Mrs. Ducey stated
that the total 20 year projected space deficit at the new site is
approximately a deficit of 13,787 square feet.
26
10/5/92
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/city Engineer,
reported that the expected cost of two million dollars with a
reserve of one million dollars may not be adequate to renovate
Buildings "A" and "B" and give the Police Department a facility
they feel is adequate. The architect has proposed three basic
alternatives: Alternate No. One - renovates Building "A" and
Building "B" as proposed. The proposed Alternate Plan No. One
includes additions to Building "A" as needed to meet the 1992
program space needs. The estimated cost is approximately
$6,187,817. Alternate No. Two - proposes to renovate Building
"A" and construct an addition to Building "A". The addition
would be a two-story annex, with an area of 32,344 square feet.
It is proposed that Alternate No. Two would meet the 1992 program
space needs. The estimated cost is $6,990,387. Alternate No.
Three - proposes to renovate Building "A" and add a three-story
addition. A total area of 77,892 square feet would be provided,
which would accommodate some future growth. Constructing the
three-story addition would eliminate disruption of police
operations. The preliminary estimated cost is $8,277,142.
Howard Leach of Leach-Mounce Architects stated that one of
the problems with arriving at the proposed three alternatives was
keeping the operation of the Police Department under one
location. He stated that Alternative Plan No. Three provides the
best solution and allows for future growth for the Police
Department.
Mr. Leach answered questions regarding the advantages to
renovating Building "A" as opposed to constructing a new
building. He stated that an annex to Building "A" would cost
approximately one million dollars less than constructing a new
building.
Director Hardgrave stated that Jim Sharp, Project Manager,
Economic Development Agency, proposed to use tilt-up construction
for the project. It was pointed out that tilt-up construction,
however, has limitations involving aesthetics and beautification
of the building.
Jim Sharp, Project Manager, Economic Development Agency,
stated that there were eight scenarios that were studied and
discussed. Of the eight scenarios, three proposals were
selected for consideration. Alternate Plan No. Three best
reflects the basic concept of renovating Building "A" and
constructing an expansion for future use. The major difference
between Alternate Plan No. Three and his proposal to use tilt-up
construction is that some of the needs would be downsized in
Building "A" and higher density uses and public uses would be
placed in the expansion building to increase the square footage
up to approximately 42,000 or 45,000 square feet.
27
10/5/92
Mr. Sharp voiced concern relative to construction costs and
the nature of the construction between his proposal to use tilt-
up construction and Alternate Plan No. Three. The proposal for
Alternate Plan No. Three recommends using the existing four-story
building, (Building A) and adds a new structure contiguous and
adjacent to the existing building. It is proposed that the new
structure be constructed of either steel frame or tilt-up.
Mayor Holcomb expressed concern on plans to place a
community conference room on the fourth floor and the
appropriateness of installing an elevator in Building "A".
Mayor Holcomb supported the concept of approving Alternate
Plan No. Three and using tilt-up construction as opposed to using
steel beam construction. He stated that Alternate Plan No. Three
would be cost effective and would add more square footage to meet
the needs of the Police Department for the next 25 years.
A discussion was held regarding whether or not the police
facility is located on any earthquake faults. It was pointed
out that there are two earthquake faults located beneath the
recommended site.
Mr. Sharp replied that the design criteria for the project
is in compliance with current building codes and the American
Disabilities Act.
Mayor Holcomb suggested that the concept of using tilt-up
construction as presented by Jim sharp be reviewed; and that
consideration be given to the concept of leasing space in
Building B on a interim basis.
Peggy Ducey requested direction on whether or not to proceed
with plans for the new police facility.
council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Estrada, to approve Alternate Plan No. Three; and come
back with plans for funding. (*Note: No vote was taken at this
time. )

(8-5)
In a memorandum dated September 30, 1992, Barbara Dillon,
Director of Personnel, stated that paramedics are currently in
the same P-1 job classification as firefighters, but are given
additional incentive pay to maintain their paramedic
certification. Both the Fire Department and the Firefighters
Union are in agreement that paramedics should be classified as
P-2's, since their main responsibility is not firefighting, but
rather emergency medical care.

~
The proposed change in paramedic classification reads as
follows: Employees hired after October 1, 1992, as Paramedic
Firefighters would be hired as a P-2 classification, thus
creating a separate Paramedic Firefighter job title. Firefighter
paramedics hired prior to October 1, 1992, would continue in the
P-1 classification, unless they voluntarily want to become P-2
Paramedic Firefighters.
council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Estrada, and unanimously carried, that the Mayor and
Common Council approve reclassification of Paramedics from P-1 to
P-2 and establish a position of P-2 Paramedic Fire Fighter.

PURCHASE OFFER STATEMENTS

S. AND ELIZABETH A. ROEHLER
CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNER.
EASEMENT FOR SEWER AND
TO HIGHLAND AVENUE - RONALD
& HIGHLAND COUNTRY MANOR, A
(8-9)
In a memorandum dated September 29, 1992, Roger G.
Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that
drainage from Small canyon Channel is directed to Highland
Avenue, where it flows westerly to Sand Creek. Caltrans has
agreed to accept the drainage from Small canyon Channel into
31
10/5/92
their drainage system for the Route 30 Freeway. The agreement
with Caltrans required a 48-inch storm drain to be installed from
the terminus of the improved channel north of Highland Avenue to
Atlantic Avenue.
An understanding was reached with the City of Highland,
under which they would acquire the necessary easement and the
City of San Bernardino would construct the storm drain. However,
the City of Highland was unsuccessful in their efforts. As a
result, the Walmart Developer agreed to negotiate with the
property owners relating to the acquisition of an easement for
the storm drain. Purchase Offer statements have been negotiated
with, and signed by both property owners. The terms of the offer
statements, in general, provides that the City would pay the
grantors the sum of $50,577.00 for a permanent easement of 20
feet in width across Parcel No.1, and 15 feet across Parcels No.
2 and 3.
Council Member Hernandez made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Estrada, and unanimously carried, that the Mayor be
authorized to execute, on behalf of the city of San Bernardino,
the Purchase Offer Statements from Ronald S. and Elizabeth A.
Roehler, and Highland County Manor, a California Limited Partner,
for sewer and storm drain easements to the City of Highland,
across parcels 1, 2 and 3, of Parcel Map No. 9356; and authorize
payment of up to $50,577.00 for the permanent easements for sewer
and storm drain.

DISCUSS AND TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION RELATIVE TO PROPOSALS
RECEIVED FOR AUDIT OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OPERATION -
CONTINUED FROM SEPTEMBER 8, 1992 (S-6)
This is the time and place continued to discuss and take
possible action relative to proposals received for audit of the
City Attorney's operations. The item was continued because the
full Council was not present on September 8, 1992 and there was a
3-3 vote on whether or not to proceed with the audit.
32
10/5/92
In a memorandum dated September 30, 1.992, Council Member
Ralph Hernandez, reported that at the Council meeting of
September 8, 1992, the management audit of the city Attorney's
office was discussed. A number of reasons were cited to take
immediate action on the audit, rather than to wait 60 days for
the Ways and Means committee to review the proposals. It was
pointed out that the bids for most of the proposals would expire
in sixty days. If the contract is awarded after the first of the
year, auditing firms would be involved in the tax season and the
cost of the audit would be much higher. Another factor involves
a request from the city Attorney's Off ice for an increase of
$600,000 for FY 1.992/93. If the audit is performed after the
first of the year, the final audit report would not be completed
until the end of the fiscal year, and the Council would not have
adequate information to make an informed decision on the budget
increase.
Mayor Holcomb recommended that discussion on the audit of
the City Attorney's operations be continued until Mr. Penman can
be present.
council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council
Member Reilly, that discussion relative to the proposals received
on the audit of the City Attorney's operation, be continued to
October 19, 1.992, in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 300 North
"0" street, San Bernardino, California.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes:
Members Estrada, Reilly, Maudsley, Minor, Pope-Ludlam,
Nays: Council Member Hernandez. Absent: None.
