racita Drive, who currently reside in Rialto, stated they

perty located at 4197 Terracita Drive, all City restric-
tions were checked and they purchased the property with

9/22/86
1. CDBG Fund Review - 'rhe Committee con-
sidered oral and written presentations
made by Community Development Director,
Ken Henderson, regarding available funding
from completed CDBG projects that could be
converted to the Contingency Account and
the amount of funds remaining in the FY
85-86 Contingency Account. After reques-
ting an oral opinion from legal counsel,
Councilwoman Estrada removed herself from
deliberations on this issue, inasmuch as
Casa Ramona, Inc. is a recipient of CDBG
funds and the Committee as about to dis-
cuss the continuation of Social Service
contracts utilizing CDBG funds. After
discussion regarding the fifteen percent
(15 %) cap on Public Service proj ects, the
Committee voted to recommend to the Mayor
and Common Council that $17,000 in CDBG
funds be used to partially fund FY 86-87
Social Service contracts (bringing CDBG up
to the 15% Public Services limit). The
Commi t tee al so recommended that the re-
maining FY 86-87 Social Service funding
requirements be allocated from the City
General Fund appropriated reserve account.
The Committee further recommended that
Community Development Department staff be
authorized to solicit proposals for CDBG
financial assistance in the following
categories: Capital Improvements/Infra-
structure, and Demolition, with the Mayor
and Council to consider a supplemental
allocation to the FY 86-87 CDBG Contin-
gency Account.
COUNCIL MEMBER ESTRADA EXCUSED
Council Member Estrada left the Council Meeting.
Discussion was held concerning the use of $15,000
from the General Fund, and how it will affect the City's
reserve.
City Administrator Schweitzer answered questions,
stating that the appropriate reserve total of $200,000, is
a low amount for a city the size of San Bernardino. He
explained that the Charter Section 186 raises exceeded the
$700,000 appropriated by $300,000, which results in an
average of a 7% pay increase for safety employees.
Ci ty Administrator Schweitzer answered questions
regarding salary savings.
Counc i 1 Member Marks made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Hernandez, that the appropriation of
$17,000 in CDBG funds to be used to partially fund FY
86-87 social service contracts (bringing the CDBG up to
the 15% Public Services Limit), be approved; and that an
additional appropriation of $15,000 from the operating
contingency fund (general fund monies) as the remaining
amount of funds necessary to have social service programs

I
In a memorandum dated September 22, 1986, City
Administrator Schweitzer provided an analysis of the "Blue
Crew" proposal, stating that it would provide the City
with an increased gross revenue, more effective patrol of
handicapped parking, benefits for the handicapped and

tation of an all volunteer "Blue Crew"; that $1,700 be

Control Superintendent be authorized to purchase such
items.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes:
Council Members Estrada, Reilly, Marks, Frazier, Strick-
ler. Noes: Council Members Hernandez, Quiel. Absent:
None.
8. Automotive Dealers License - The City
Attorne-y-has-determined that the City does
not need an automobile dealer license to
engage in the types of buying operations
in which the private sector engages in.
Therefore, Committee recommended Council
discussion of this item as a policy issue
to determine whether or not it is the
majority opinion to engage in automobile
buying as if the City was a dealership.
Warren Knudsen, Director of Finance, answered ques-
tions, stating that the Equipment Superintendent would
accompany the buyer when purchasing automobiles at
auction.
City Administrator Schweitzer stated that it has been
estimated that the City will save $20,000 annually by
acting as a buyer.
Council Member Marks made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Quiel, that the Purchasing Agent be autho-
rized to act as a dealer, as opposed to an ordinary buyer,
on those occasions when they can effectuate a cost savings
on automobile purcnases.
The motion carried by the fol10wing vote: Ayes:
Council Members Estrada, Reilly, Marks, Quiel, Frazier,
Strickler. Noes: Council Member Hernandez. Absent:

9/22/86
4. Custodial Services for Various Public
Buildings Throughout City - The COHunittee
unanimously agreed that some public buil-
dings should be contracted out to the
lower bidder for custodial services. How-
ever, there was disagreement among the
Committee on which buildings should be
recommended to the full Council for ap-
proval.
Councilman Marks recommended contracting
out for all of the proposed buildings
except for Schedule II (Parking Structures
& Central City Mall Parking) and III (City
Hall) (see attachment). The cost saving
to be realized using this scenario is
$117,243. Also, Councilman Marks contends
that the Public Buildings Department will
have sufficient permanent employees re-
maining to do tasks not associated with
custodial duties such as contract moni-
toring and specialized work tasks such as
set-ups for groundbreakings.
Councilman Frazier recommended contracting
for Schedule IV (Animal Shelter and Cen-
tral Fire station), V (Central Stores
Warehouse and Central Garage), VI (Seven
Co~nunity Centers), VII (Recreation Cen-
ters and SBETA Office), IX (Police Com-
munity Centers) and XI (Three Branch Li-
braries). Schedules that should not be
contracted out are I (Central City Mall),
II (Parking Structures & Central City MaIl
Parking), III (City Hall), VIII (Police
Station) and X (Norman F. Feldheym Central
Library). The cost saving in this scena-
rio is $63, 13b. Councilman Frazier ex-
pressed concerns about employee layoffs,
contract compliance in the case of the
Library, the Police Department concurrence
for the police station and the service
that is provided by City employees for
Central City Mall. Councilman Frazier
also recommended contracting out on an
incremental schedule in order to ascertain
contract performance.
Councilwoman Estrada recommended contrac-
ting out for all of the buildings except
Schedule I (Central City MaIl), II (park-
ing Structures and Central City Mall Park-
ing) and III (City Hall). The cost saving
in this scenario is $101,893. Council-
woman Estrada expressed concern about
employee layoffs and the public confidence
in City employees working in the Mall and
the performing of tasks not associated
with custodial services.
The Acting City Administrator and Public
Buildings/Security and Parking Control
Superintendent recommended to the Commit-
tee that all of the schedules should be
contracted out except Schedule I (Central
City Mall), II (parking Structures and
Central City Mall parking) and III (City
Hall). Both the Acting City Administrator
23
9/22/86
and public Buildings Superintendent agree
there would be too many layoffs of perma-
nent employees if the Central City Mall is
contracted out. Mr. Overstreet also ex-
pressed concern about the tasks performed
by city employees not associated with
custodial duties. The Superintendent
recommended maintaining the status quo
since his department has built up a suc-
cessful program.
The Committee unanimously agreed that City
Hall should not be contracted out because
of security and the extra services per-
formed by City employees and that the
parking structure and Central City Mall
parking should not be contracted out be-
cause there is no cost savings.
The Committee unanimously recommended that
the contractural agreement be amended to
reflect (l) a 30-day "termination for
convenience" clause, (2) provide a pro-
vision that can include additional ser-
vices, and (3) include a stronger pro-
vision to consider hiring displaced
employees. After the first year, if suc-
cessful, the City should contract on a
multi-year basis to achieve further cost
savings (amortization of equipment).
Wayne Overstreet, Superintendent of Public Buildings/
parking Control, and Ray Schweitzer, City Administrator,
answered questions.
City Administrator Schweitzer explained why he felt a
janitorial crew of City employees should be retained for
City Hall. He explained that present maintenance employ-
ees are used for setting up parades and moving office
equipment.
Council Member Marks made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Quiel, that the contracting out for cus-
todial services on Schedules IV through XI (Animal Shelter
and Central Fire Station, Central Stores Warehouse and
Central Garage, Seven Community Centers, Recreation Cen-
ters and SBETA Office, Police Station, Police Community
Centers, Norman F. Feldheym Central Library, Three Branch
Libraries), be approved in principle.

sion concerning pending Review of Plans 8b-51, a proposed
development of approximately 492 unit in a multi-family
project generally located east of Palm, north of Citrus,
west of Seine Avenues by Developer John Stubblefield. (See
Page 31) (New Business)
City Attorney Prince answered questions, stating that
the City can down-zone property, but there mayor may not
be a risk of inverse condemnation. He stated that down
zoning often does devalue property and gives the owner a
legal remedy.

and applicant for Review of Plans 86-5l, stated that he
disagreed with comments that his development will degrade
surrounding properties. He stated that when the property
was annexed to the City, that the current zoning was in
place and that the City agreed to approve the mUlti-family
development as an incentive to annex.
John Stubblefield added that he has been working with
the City for the last year and he has now come to find out
that the rules have changed. Since 1975, the Stubble-
fields have included in the Covenants, Conditions and Re-
strictions for all property sold, a paragraph that noti-
fies property owners of the zoning on the adjacent pro-
perty.

seconded by Council Member Estrada, that the Common
