In a letter dated December 15, 1988, Hardy Brown,
President of the Board of Education of the San Bernardino
City Unified School District, protested the granting of
the conditional use permit. He stated that the school

tute adjacent to the Public Enterprise Building, and
finds the Chaparral Treatment Center to be contradictory
to promoting the image and activities of their facility.
In a letter dated December 12, 1988, Gill Snyder,
President of the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce,
stated that the treatment center would be an inconsistent
use wi th the or ig inal intent of the Publ ic Enterpr i se
Center as specified by the Economic Development Admini-
stration. He suggested two compatible proposals which
are being reviewed by the Redevelopment Agency the
relocation of the PAL Center and a Business Incubator
Program developed by the Chamber's Westside Task Force.

proposed location of the Victor/Chaparral Treatment Cen-

tial conformance with the plans approved by the Develop-
ment Review Committee, Planning Commission or Director of
Planning.
He expressed concern regard ing the number of
patients versus the number of workers at the center, and
the amount of square footage to be used. He stated that
neighbors of the proposed site are afraid of an institu-
tion of this kind being located in their area.
Mr. Clark agreed with the City Treasurer's letter of
December 28,1988, in which Mr. Graves expressed concern
over this type of use at this location, public safety and
the City's exposure to liability. He suggested the use
of the old Pr ice Cl ub bui ldi ng or Pa tton Hospi tal for
this treatment center, but that it not be allowed on the
Westside.

Mental Health Advisory Board, urged the Council to

Morsell Johnson, Vice President of the NAACP, spoke
against granting the conditional use permit. He stated
that in order to improve economic conditions, there must

ter. Victor/Chaparral is in conflict with that concept.
Robert Lewis, an employee of Victor/Chaparral, spoke
in favor of granting the conditional use permit. He
stated that the staff are concerned individuals that care

facility.

the program, but only against its being located in the
Public Enterprise Center.
Bobby Bivens, 2542 W. Etiwanda, San Bernardino,
stated that it is important that the center be used for
its original intention - a retraining center. He recom-
mended that it be used for a technical training facility,
which would provide economic enhancement, rather than the
proposed use by Victor/Chaparral.
Dr. Mildred Henry, Director of the Provisional
Accelerated Learning Center (PAL), explained the services
her educational program provides. She stated she has
been trying to move these services into the Public Enter-
prise Center for a long time and feels her program would

what is best for their community. He feels the PAL Cen-
ter would be an appropriate program for that location.

enough facilities serving mental health problems. He
stated that this facility is doing a good job and he has
seen children graduate and get back into the community.
.
Patrick Carraway, Executive Director of Victor/
Chaparral, stated they have been trying for six months to
get the Public Enterprise Center as a treatment location.
They are desperate for a location, and if they are denied
the conditional use permit, it will take another six to
nine months to go through the process again. He explain-
ed that if they get the conditional use permit, their
program will bring a lot of money into the Westside.
Willie Clark, Vice President of the NAACP, stated it
is his opinion that this issue has become a racial one,
as whites and hispanics seem to be for the program, but
do not 1 i ve in the area. He asked tha t those in the
neighborhood be allowed to help decide what will be in
their community, as they know what conditions exist.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded
by Council Member Estrada and unanimously carried, that
the hearing be closed.
Counc i 1 Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded

are more prone to high stress crime and officers who have
served in these areas periodically need to be rotated out
to other areas of the City.
He answered questions regarding provisions for com~
plaints against police officers: It was pointed out that
a complaint against a pOlice officer is not necessarily
sufficient to remove a police officer from public inter-
action; and that it should be a sustained complaint:
Mr. Hatton further stated that one of the prime
recommendations from the committee is that the Police
Commission be strengthened. He explained that if that
commission and the people serving on it were given an
important status; committees such as this one would not
be necessary.
