It was also agreed that for future use the City would

the trenching or installation of any other cable or con-
duit to City facilities;
Page 16, second paragraph from the bottom of the
page: to make it clear that the resolution referred to in

page, and that the item was tabled, rather than filed;
also that the Council reaffirmed Resolution No. 12846;
Page 16, insert a statement after Resolution RS-lb,

Works/City Engineer, had made a statement that he felt
the City had a good program as it applies to requiring

should not be changed;

HEARING - PARCEL MAP 9939 - SOUTHEAST CORNER
OF HUFF AND ARROWHEAD - WAIVER OF CERTAIN
CONDI'rrONS - JOHN DAY - ARROWHEAD-HUFF COMPANY -
CONTINUED FROM OC'rOBER 20, 1986
This is the time and place continued to for consider-
ation of a request from John Day, Arrowhead-Huff Company,
for a waiver of certain conditions on Parcel Map No. 9939,
located at the southeast corner of Huff Street and Arrow-
head Avenue. (40)
In a memorandum dated October 22, 1986, Roger Hard-
grave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, explained
that he had met with Mr. Day and and discussed the fol-
lowing alternate courses of action:
1.
$17U,OOO
ties) ;
Post an acceptable security in the amount of
(includiny $125,000 for undergrounding utili-
2. Defer recording parcel map until an assessment
district for undergrounding utilities can be established.
3. Record the parcel map along with deeds, for the
two parcels to be created, containing covenants that the
owners agree not to protest the creation of a future as-
sessment district for undergrounding utilities.
Alternate No. 1 was unacceptable to Mr. Day due to
insufficient funds;
Alternate No. 2 was unacceptable to Mr. Day due to
cost and time involved in establishing an assessment dis-
trict.
Alternate No. 3 was acceptable to Mr. Day.
Alternate No. 3 was discussed with Deputy City At-
torney Wilson, and it was his opinion that this process
would place the City in an inferior legal position, and he
is unable to support this approach.
In a letter dated October 20, 1986, John Day, Arrow-
head-Huff Company, explained the purpose of the request
for waivers from Engineering Division Standard Require-
ments No. 8 and No. 10 with respect to street improvements
and to undergrounding of existing electric utilities.
Mr. Day also stated that a denial of the request will
prevent purchase of the property by Nuwest Manufacturing
and Sidler Pipe company and force them to consider moving
their businesses elsewhere.
Mayor Wilcox opened the hearing.
John Day, General Partner of Arrowhead-Huff Company,
was present, and stated that what they were requesting is
to subdivide an "L" shape parcel into two parcels to be
purchased by two different buyers. He stated that putting
in the street improvements and undergrounding utilities
would make the project economically unfeasible. He reaf-
firmed his acceptance of Alternate 3.
8
11/3/86
Mr. Day described an undeveloped portion of land on
which they want to build industrial buildings. If the
project were approved under Alternate 3, they would be
required to put in public improvements at the time the
development takes place, and the City would receive im-
mediate improvement of the frontage on Huff street, in-
cluding the installation of a sidewalk and handicapped
ramp on the corner. It would also offer the City a pos-
sibility of improvement around Mt. View and Esperanza in
the foreseeable future.
Mr. Day answered questions of the Council regarding
his proposed project, stating that other owners would not
be interested in an assessment district at this time.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, answered questions, stating that it was his under-
standing that the City Attorney's Office has stated that
approval of Alternate 3 would put the City in an inferior
legal position and they are advising against it.
City Attorney Prince answered questions, stating that
approval of Alternate 3 would be "buying a lawsuit". He
also stated that the Subdivision Law, which preempts the
field, requires if street improvements are required to be
placed in a subdivision, there must be security for it,
and an assessment district is one of those ways. Mr.
Prince also explained that improvements don't have to be
put in now, but if construction is delayed, then a secur-
ity deposit must be filed to insure future improvements.
Mr. Day stated that they had agreed to put in the
street improvements now, which is a financial hardship,
but undergrounding would cost between $125,000 and
$130,000 for only a small project. He also stated that in
undergrounding such a small project, the symmetry of Ar-
rowhead Avenue would be broken by the undergrounding of a
small number of poles, with other poles remaining above
the ground.
Mr. Day answered questions, stating with bonding, the
utilities must be undergrounded within two years, and
money would not be available at that time either, and
would not be economically feasible.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Horks/ City Engi-
neer, answered questions regarding the policy and guide-
lines, and suggested that the Council might refer this to
the Planning Commission for their review.
Ms. C. L. Farrell, Fullerton & Lemann Law Firm, rep-
resenting one of the buyers in this project, Nuwest Manu-
facturing, stated they had bargained with Mr. Day to make
these improvements in order to get the parcel map
recorded.
Mr. Day pointed out that there is more than one buyer
involved in this proposed project, the Sidler Pipe Com-
pany, who is interested in buying a portion of the land,
which would generate funds to enable the plan to proceed.
If neither buyer decides to buy with a covenant in the
deed then the parcel map cannot be completed. He stated
he felt it was necessary to establish the conditions of
the parcel map now so that the potential buyers can decide
what they are going to do.
9
11/3/86
city Attorney Prince answered questions, stating tllat
normally the subdivision ordinance requires that security
be posted to ensure that the subdivider will improve the
property. He also stated that the usual time to appeal
had expired, but that could be waived by the Council.
Council Member Marks made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Strickler and unanimously carried, to con-
tinue the hearing to November 7, 1986, in the Redevelop-
ment Agency Board Room, Third Floor, City Hall, 300 North
"D" Street, San Bernardino, California, and ask that the
City Attorney reevaluate his legal position if it is so
warranted by virtue of different factors and circumstances
and also to direct the Legislative Review Committee to
examine the issue in general and make recommendations back
to the Council on November 17, 1986.

FOR SENIORS PROGill\M. (20)
The Mayor and Council discussed this and other reso-
lutions relating to contracts with San Bernardino County
for services as to why there was such a delay in the adop-
tion of the final contracts. Negotiations with the County
were conducted in April, 1986, for said services.
Annie Ramos, Director, Parks, Recreation and Commun-
ity Services, answered questions, stating that the infor-
mation for these contracts had been forwarded to the City
Attorney's Office for preparation.
City Attorney Prince answered questions regarding the
preparation of contracts, and explained the procedure
followed in his office. He stated that there are times
when negotiations have not been completed, thus delaying
the preparation of such items.
It was pointed out that legal complications could
arise if a formal agreement had not been finalized and one
of the parties to the agreement failed to uphold their
part in the agreement. It was suggested that the City
Administrator review all such proposed contracts to be
sure they were handled in an efficient and timely manner.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT
WITH THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO RELATING
TO THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION IN THE SHER-
IFF'S WORK SENTENCE PROGRAM. (28)
The Mayor and Council discussed an issue raised by
City Attorney Prince regarding said resolution in that the
County of San Bernardino had refused to incorporate the
mutual hold harmless and indemnification clauses in the
contract. This work program involves working with prison-
ers from Glen Helen and there is a possibility of
increased liability. For example, in the case of a
prisoner who was working in this program and not properly
identified as being violent, the City could be liable for
any dangerous action on his part.
City Attorney Prince answered questions regarding
liability.
The Mayor and Council discussed complaints that had
been received by the City regarding the unfavorable pro-
ductivity of the City's work force and the lack of super-
vision.
COUNCIL MEMBER QUIEL ARRIVED
At 10:45 a.m., Council Member Quiel arrived at the

explained the difference between the Sheriff's Work Sen-
tence Program and the Juvenile Probationary Program, stat-
ing that the Juvenile Probationary Program provides its
own supervision, tools and transportation, and is in
operation for the City the first two week-ends of each
month. The young people in this program have a choice of
working or serving time in Juvenile Hall. The people
serving at Glen Helen would report to the City who would
provide supervision.

STORM Dlli\INAGE FEES - TRACT 10979 - EAST OF
PINE AND NORTH OF IRVINGTON AVENUES - FORECAST
CORPORATION - CONTINUED FROM OC'rOBER 20, 1986
This is the time and place continued to for a public
hearing to consider a request for waiver from storm drain-
age fees by Forecast Corporation for Tract No. 10979 lo-
cated east of pine and north of Irvington Avenues. (41)
In a memorandum dated October 27, 1986, Roger Hard-
grave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, explained
that this matter had been continued from October 20, 1986,
in order to allow a survey of surrounding cities to deter-
mine their policies and dollar impact relating to storm
drain fees. Attached to Mr. Hardgrave's memorandum was a
memorandum from Assistant City Engineer Gene Klatt, sum-
marizing the results of the survey. Also attached was a
document entitled, Guidelines for Participation by the
City in the Cost of-COnstI-tici"tTOn-o-YMaster Plan Storm
Drain Facilities by Developers .
Mayor wilcox opened the hearing.
Joe Carman of Forecast Corporation was present, and
stated he had met with the Legislative Review Committee.
The Council discussed this particular request for
waiver of storm drainage fees. The developer has made a
substantial investment to provide a drainage system that
empties directly into the County Flood Control and has no
downstream impact on the City of San Bernardino.
Council Member Quiel made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Reilly, that the hearing be closed, that
the recommendation of staff be affirmed, and that staff be
directed to refund the fees after they have been satisfied
that the storm drain facilities have been installed and
completed to the standards specified by the City.
The Mayor and Council discussed various storm drain-
age situations and whether of not they created a down-
stream impact on the City, and the use of storm drain fees
generated in the northern part of the City for use in the
southern part of town.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, answered questions, stating that there was no down-
stream liability on this proposed project as it is dumped
directly into the County Flood Control Basin, but there
was considerable liability on a project in the Third Ward.
Mr. Hardgrave also stated that it was his impression that
the storm drain fees were imposed to take care of the
increased run off downstream in developments.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, stated that $250,000 had been spent to install storm
drains in this project, and was supporting this as a
matter of fairness. He also suggested that perhaps the
City should look at the basic storm drainage fees which
were established in 1978 and perhaps increase slightly the
present fees and spread the burden over everyone more
fairly.

11/3/86
Council Member Hernandez made a substitute motion,
seconded by Council Member Marks, that this matter be
continued to the afternoon session for a thorough discus-
sion on this project and other projects and what the fi-
nancial impact would be. (See Page 28)
The motion carr ied by the following vote: Ayes:
Council Members Estrada, Hernandez, Marks, Frazier,
Strickler. Noes: Council Members Reilly, Quiel. Absent:
None.
COMMUNrry DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION/REDEVELOPI1ENT
AGENCY - REGULAR MEETING
The Regular Meeting of the Community Development
Commission/Redevelopment Agency was called to order by
Chairman Wilcox in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 300
North "D" Street, San Bernardino, California.
NORTHWEST PROJECT AREA COMMIT'rEE - ELEC'rION BUDGET
In a memorandum dated October 27, 1986, Glenda Saul,
Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency, explained
that the Northwest Project Area Committee held their first
election on December 19, 1984. The PAC has tentatively
scheduled their second election in December, 1986, and has
requested $6,000 to cover the costs of this second elec-
tion. (R-3)
The Common Council, acting as the Corununity Develop-
ment Commission discussed at length the proposed Northwest
Project Area Committee election and the pros and cons of
the election being held as a separate election or in con-
junction with the City primary to be held in March, 1987.
The first election of the PAC was conducted by the City
Clerk, with the understanding that any further elections
would be conducted by the PAC, as now provided in the
By-Laws.
Sr. Assistant City Attorney Briggs, answered ques-
tions, stating in the scenario of the City Clerk handling
the election, a change in the PAC By-Laws would be re-
quired, which is being considered. He explained that the
PAC thinks it would be more fruitful with more partici-
pation if conducted by the City Clerk's election process.
Mr. Briggs also stated that the City is obligated to pro-
vide the budget for the election, but at this point the
election is not the responsibility of the City.
Mr. Carl Clemmons, Chairman of the Northwest project
Area Committee, stated that the $b,OOO requested would be
used to cover the costs of mailing newsletters with the
candidates' statements in event of either a solitary elec-
tion or one combined with the City primary. Mr. Clemmons
stated he felt it would be fair and more professional if
the election were held with the City primary Election. He
explained that the PAC is working with Sr. Assistant City
Attorney Briggs in drafting changes in the By-Laws. He
urged the Council to approve the request for $6,000, as if
the election is to be held in December, there is little
time for implementation of all that needs to be done.
City Clerk Clark stated for the record that she had
serious concerns about having the PAC election on the
March City Primary ballot, as combining two elections that
don't have the same voter pool would create problems.
There would be many variables, such as meeting the candi-
dates nomination period deadlines. Also, there would be
19
11/3/86
non-registered voters who would be eligible to vote in the
PAC election, but not the City election and voters from
other precincts eligible to vote in the PAC election.
Different ballot types would be required in these situa-
tions.
The Common Council, acting as the Co~nunity Develop-
ment Commission, voted to continue the request for $6,000
for election costs of the North"est Redevelopment project
Area Committee to the meeting of November 17, 1986, in the
Council Chambers of City Hall, 300 North "D" Street, San
Bernardino, California, and that staff, the City Clerk and
the PAC get together for discussion on this matter.

SALE OF LENA ROAD PROPERTY - SET PUBLIC HEARING
In a memorandum dated October 28, 1986, Glenda Saul,
Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency, stated
that in June, 1984, the Agency acquired title to 5.1 acres
of land on the southwest corner of Rialto Avenue and Lena
Road as part of the transaction with the County SchOOls
for their new administrative office. Staff has now re-
ceived an offer to purchase the Lena Road piece at its
appraised value of $4S0,OOO cash. (R-6a)
Council Member Marks made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Estrada and unanimously carried, to set a
joint public hearing at 11:00 a.m., on Monday, November
17, 1986, in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 300 North
"D" Street, San Bernardino, California, to consider the

APPEAL - MOUNTAIN SHADOWS APARTMENT PROJECT _
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FOR REVIEW OF PLANS NO.
86-51 - JIM SMITH
This is the time and place set to hear an appeal
filed by Jim Smith on the Planning Commission'S decision
to issue a Negative Declaration for the Mountain Shadows
Apartment Project, Environmental Impact for Review of
Plans No. 86-51. The Owner/Applicant is Stubblefield
Enterprises, and the project, a 492-unit, three-story
apartment complex on 29 acres, located between the north-
ern terminus of La praix avenue and Citrus Street. (56)
20
11/3/86
A letter dated October 22, 1986, from Mr. Jim Smith,
3963 E. Croyden Street, San Bernardino, stated that his
appeal concerns the impact the proj ect would have on
existing overcrowded schools.
A letter dated October 24, 1986, from Attorney Brek-
hus & Williams Law Offices, 813 D Street, San Rafael,
California 94901, was read. In the letter Mr. Brekhus
stated he was representing approximately 500 neighbors who
reside in the vicinity of the proposed Mountain Shadows
Apartment Project, and specifically Mr. Jim Cimino. He
requested that this matter be continued because he was
unable to attend the meeting on November 3, 1986. He
suggested the following hearing dates as being acceptable:
November 7, 10, 14, 17, and 18, 1986.
City Attorney Prince answered questions and read a
portion of his letter dated October 29, 1986, in which he
stated: "Normally, a timely request by an attorney/spokes-
man of a large number of interested residents for a con-
tinuance of an appeal hearing on the grounds of unavaila-
blity of himself and a number of such residents should be
granted unless interested parties would be adversely
prejudiced" .
Darlene Fischer, Hill, Farrerr & Burrill, 445 South
Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071, representing
Stubblefield Enterprises, stated that a long delay would
severely prejudice the Stubblefield Enterprises as they
would experience possible loss of financing, increased
cost of development, as well as losing windows in their
construction schedule. Ms. Fischer also stated that the
continuance would result in a loss of entitlement to go
forward with their development under the existing R-3
Zoning Ordinance.
Ms. Fischer explained that Stubblefield Enterprises
wants to go on record as stating that they would not
oppose a short continuance of a few days, if the continu-
ance is granted on two conditions: that the continuance
be granted to such a time as all members of the Council
can be present; and that the time for the Development
Review Committee approval on the project would be extended
for a time equal to the length of any continuance.
COUNCIL MEMBER QUIEL RETURNED
At 2:17 p.m., Council Member Quiel returned to the
Council Meeting and took his place at the Council Table.
Jim Cimino, representing the surrounding neighbors
who are appealing, answered questions.
John Stubblefield, Stubblefield Enterprises, stated
that a two week delay would be too long and suggested
alternate dates.
A discussion ensued regarding possible dates for the
continuance at which all interested parties could be
present.
Jim Smith, appellant, suggested that since Mr. Cimino
was here representing the neighboring property owners, and
other principals were here, that the hearing be held.
John Stubblefield, Stubblefield Enterprises, stated
that in a spirit of cooperation, they would yield to a
continuance date of November 17, 1986.
21
11/3/86
Council Member Marks made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Strickler and unanimously carried, to con-
tinue this matter to 7:00 p.m., November 17, 1986, at
Sturges Auditorium, 8th and "E" Street, San Bernardino,
California, and that the Council go on record indicating
that they would endorse the change in the transition rules
as they affect the Stubblefield projects to extend the
number of days by two weeks in terms of applying the ordi-
nance as to whether or not the Stubblefield project quali-
fied under the old vs. the new R-3 ordinance.
Staff was directed to prepare the appropriate docu-
mentation to extend the transition date in the urgency
ordinance by two weeks (from October 21, 1986). The ex-
tension is to apply only to this project.
Planning Director Schuma agreed to send notices to
all interested parties of the new hearing date and loca-
tion.
COUNCIL MEMBERS HARKS, QUIEL EXCUSED
Council Member Marks, Quiel left the Council Meeting.
HEARING - S & S MEAT PRODUC'rS - CONTINUED FROM
OCTOBER 20, 1986
This is the time and place continued to for a hearing
to consider the odor caused by the operation of S & S Meat
Products, 1389 West Mill street, San Bernardino, Cali-
fornia. (59)
Mayor Wilcox opened the hearing.
Attorney Ken Skousen, representing S & S Meat Prod-
ucts, explained that a meeting had been held with City
staff to discuss possible ways to reduce the odor produced
by the operation of S & S Meat Products. He stated that
the only viable possibility seemed to be covering the
trucks in some fashion.
City Attorney Prince answered questions regarding the
legality of the operation of S & S Meat Products, stating
that they are there legally.
Planning Director Schuma answered questions, stating
that this operation has been primarily a distribution
center, and had just recently been informed that they were
also processing oils that have been collected from other
locations.
City Attorney Prince answered questions regarding
ordinances governing this type of problem, stating that
there is an ordinance that contains language about ob-
noxious odors. However, he stated that in view of the
evidence presented, he doubted that a case could be suc-
cessfully prosecuted.
The Mayor and Council discussed possible solutions to
the problems of the odors at S & S Meat Products.

In a memorandum dated October 23, 1986, Frank Schuma,

11/3/86
and explained the inconsistencies in the General Plan Zone
within the Northwest Redevelopment Project Area and the
Enterprise Zone. It was stated that the inconsistency
exists only between the General/Northwest-Redevelopment
Project Area Plan and current zoning/Enterprise Zone. The
status quo of differences between the General Plan/North-
west Redevelopment Project Area and Plan and current zon-
ing allows the development community the greatest degree
of flexibility in meeting the development objectives of
the Northwest Redevelopment project Area and the Enter-
prise Zone. (45)
Planning Director Schuma explained the background of
the NortlH/est Redevelopment Project Area and the potential
for inconsistencies, which exist between the zoning and
the General Plan. He stated that if everything would be
made consistent according to the General Plan, there would
have to be rezoning of all the properties along Baseline,
Mt. Vernon and Highland to multi-family designations.
Also, the Enterprise Zone was recently introduced, which
is designed to encourage the growth of commercial and
industrial development.
Ken Henderson, Director, Community Development, ex-
plained that there was no inconsistency between the Gener-
al Plan and the Redevelopment Plan. He stated that the
recommendation was made to allow flexibility and not to
negatively impact commercial designation area of the
Enterprise Zone.

conducted a workshop relating to the future goals and
ob j ecti ves of the Agency. It was the consensus of those
present that the EDC should be the marketing arm of the

and the EDC should be consolidated into one program to be
implemented by the EDC. It was further agreed that the
small business' economic development loan program adminis-
tered by the EDC be transferred to the City's Community
Development Department. (46)

swered questions of the Council regarding the responsi-
bilities of the EDC, and stated that what is being re-
quested today is only approval in concept of the transfer
of the San Bernardino Economic Development Council Small

stated that a report would be brought back to the Mayor
and Council with complete information on loans and re-
venues, with a program for consideration.
The Mayor and Council discussed the responsibilities
of the EDC and what advantages their services might pro-

ing for various social service programs administered by

DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES - BUILDING
AND SAFE'rY AND PLANNING DEPARTMENcrS - REPOR'r
OF CONSOLIDATION OF MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
In a memorandum dated October 28,1986, James Robbins,
Superintendent, Building & Safety, presented a report
regarding the proposed consolidation of management respon-
sibilities for the Building and Safety and Planning De-
partments. Mr. Robbins stated that it was clear from his
survey of 37 cities and the Planning Director's survey of
11 cities, that 33 of 37 cities have Building and Safety
combined with another department. Three are combined by
contractual arrangements and San Bernardino remains as the
37th, each department separate. (S-5)
Mr. Robbins indicated that the survey also indicated
that the Building Official position was underpaid by ap-
proximately $400 per month. The Planning survey indicated
a $725 difference per month, although it should be noted
the responsibility included Planning and Building and
Safety.
31
11/3/86
,-
Mr. Robbins stated in his report that it was impera-
tive that the reorganized department issue be decided at
the next regularly scheduled Council meeting.
He gave the following five alternatives for struc-
ture:
1. A Deputy City Administrator providing
administrative and managerial leadership,
with a Planning Director and a Director of
Building and Safety providing technical
leadership.
2. A Director of Developmental Services
providing overall administrative and mana-
gerial leadership, with a Planning Director
and Director of Building and Safety pro-
viding technical leadership.
3. A Director of Developmental Services
providing overall administrative, manager-
ial and technical leadership with mid-
managers providing additional technical
leadership.
4. Maintain current structure of Planning
Director and Director of Building and Safe-
ty to provide administrative, managerial
and technical leadership.
5. Maintain Planning Director and contact
for Building and Safety services.
Mr. Robbins also summarized decisions that must be
made as follows:
1. The recruitment and selection process.
2. Salary for the positions must be estab-
lished. The Deputy City Administrator
position exists, no salary setting would be
necessary for it. Director of Development
Services - R4170 ($3984-4851); Director of
Building and Safety - R4156 ($3352-4082).
3. The Finance Director be authorized to
use the encumbered $15,000 to offset organ-
izational realignment as appropriate and
provide further refinement of estimated
revenues at midyear review.
The Mayor and Common Council expressed each of their
preferences for an alternative.
Jim Robbins, Acting Superintendent, Building and
Safety, answered questions regarding his mission upon
hiring, which was to provide management and leadership to
the Department of Building and Safety, and to provide the
Council with some type of information regarding the type
of leadership he thought was necessary for the Department.
Council Member Frazier made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Strickler, to authorize recruitment of
Superintendent of Building & Safety at the new range of
4156 and authorize the establishment of an additional
position of Deputy City Administrator at the present
range. (Alternative No.1)

Council Member Marks presented said resolution and
stated that the negotiated agreement provides for the
payment of $1,150,000 to the City and County over a seven
year period. The City will immediately receive $50,000
and an additional $250,000 next year. $150,000 will be
paid each year for five years and $100,000 will be paid
the final year.
Projects which have been identified include:
1. Upgrade of traffic signal at Highland and
Victoria Avenue to provide for a left turn lane with
signal element from Highland Avenue on to Victoria Avenue.
2. Erection of a barrier on Piedmont Avenue to
preclude vehicular travel between piedmont Avenue and
Victoria Avenue. It is intended that a portion of said
barrier will be designed to permit passage of emergency
vehicles between Victoria and piedmont Avenues.
3. Extension of piedmont Avenue east.
4. Construction of a box culvert on Lynwood Avenue
west of Victoria to eliminate the dip in the road at the
location of the flood control channel.
Assistant City Attorney Sabourin explained the
compensation fund and how it will be operable by the
Court, and how the compensation fund was negotiated by
Council Member Marks.
Colonel James Barlow asked questions regarding the
distribution of the compensation fund and referred to
claims against the City filed by 22 surrounding property
owners.
It was explained to Colonel Barlow that payments from
the compensation fund would be issued by a Court appointed
arbitrator.
Attorney Peter Rosen, Boran, Sloan, Deutsch, 1990
Westwood, Los Angeles, representing the 22 claimants,
asked questions regarding the arbitration process.

Assistant City Attorney Sabourin stated that the
diminution in value would be taken into consideration by
the Court and there will be a window period in which to
file for compensation. He also answered questions regard-
ing the manner for determining which homeowners will be in
a position to file claims and how the number of claimants
will dilute the compensation fund.
Attorney Peter Rosen explained the position of the 22
claimants and requested that the Council defer action for
45 days until details are worked out with interested
parties. Some of the issues are the administrative costs,
the present value of the payout from the compensation fund
and the "class" of the claims.
Council Member Marks made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Estrada that further reading of the
resolution be waived and said resolution be adopted.
