consisted of 123 homes and 76 vacant lots.
The City has been able to keep bondholders current
and used housing and community development fund to acquire
the 76 vacant lots from the County Treasurer-Tax
Collector.

an easement. However, if an easement is granted and the

Assistant City Attorney Brue provided the following
legal opinion:
"...The offsetting of the purchase price is a gift of
which the City does not derive any benefits, it is not
given for a public purpose, then the analysis must turn to
who does it directly aid. In this context, the aid is
directly and clearly to the lessee, a church, who then
purchases the property for a reduced amount. No benefit,
direct or indirect, inures for a public purpose. Clearly,
the prohibition in Article 16, Section 5 of the State
Constitution would prevent what must be considered a grant
of aid to a church organization.
It is, therefore, the conclusion of this office that
the lease and sale of the property is permissible, but
that an offset in the purchase price by the cost of the
improvements made is prohibited by Article 16, Section 5
of the State Constitution."
Assistant City Attorney Brue stated that there are no
problems with the lease or with the bid process.

A discussion ensued regarding the decrease in crime
in the area, since Mr. Singletary took over the building.
Assistant City Attorney Brue stated that there are no
problems with the improvements made to the building. The
problem is that the Ci ty cannot legally issue a grant to
aid a church or grant a reduction in the purchase price of
the library.
Assistant City Attorney Brue offered several
suggestions of alternative financing such as obtaining a
loan from the Redevelopment Agency, Community Development
Department or from other outside lending institutions.

described the difficulties of trying to find financing for

BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS - DISCUSSION ON
PROVISIONS OF SEWER SERVICE OUTSIDE CORPORATE
LIMITS OF CITY - (CONTINUED FROM JANUARY 17, 1989)
This is the time and place continued to for
consideration of the Board of Water Commissioners' report
concerning the current and future sewer capacity at the
Wastewater Treatment Plant for allocation to property
outside the corporate boundaries of the Cities of San
Bernardino and Lorna Linda, and the area annexed to the
East Valley Water District. (21)
.
In a report dated February 28, 1989, entitled "City
of San Bernardino Wastewater Treatment Plant Current and
Future Capacity" the current and future capacity of the
Wastewater Treatment Plant and land uses within the
plant's projected service area by the year 2000, was
reviewed. The report stated that the Federal and State
grant agreements entered into in 1985 to provide funding
for the Sol ids Handl ing Improvemen t proj ect, incl ude the
condition that the City operate its treatment works as a
coordinated regional facility, providing service on a fair
and equitable basis in accordance with guidelines and
regulations of the State of California Water Resources
Control Board. This condition has led into various
interpretations of the City's sphere of influence of the
"coordinated regional facility".
Ci ty Attorney Penman reported on the
handouts concerni ng the Ci ty provid ing sewer

1. A letter dated November 3, 1987, in which Frank
E. Peters, WRC Financial Management Analyst of the State
Water Resources Control Board, Division of Clean Water
Grants, P.O. Box 100, Sacramento, CA 95801, stated that
under the conditions of the City's grant, the City agreed
to operate their facility as a regional plant providing
service to users on a fair and equitable basis. Any re-
quirement that does not directly affect the operation of
the facility (including annexation) is not allowed.

2. A newspaper article from The Sun dated November
23, 1988, by Patrick McGreevy, entitled San Bernardino
Violates State's Rules on Sewer Grant-City Has Refused
Hookups to Unincorporated Areas;
City Attorney Penman stated that if the letter from
Mr. Peters is correct, then the City could be placed in a
position for a lawsuit and be required to repay the $7.8
million grant;
3. A letter dated March 3, 1989,
Baetge, Executive Director, State Water
Board, P.O. Box 100, Sacramento, CA
responses to the following questions:
in which James W.
Resources Control
95801, provided
1. Is the City required to serve all users
within the service area?
2. Is the City required to serve all users
within the projected service area?
3. Can the City impose conditions on the
service?
.
City Attorney Penman stated that a copy of a petition
filed by the City of San Luis Obispo concerning the issue
of annexation was also included with the letter from Mr.
Baetge.
He further stated that annexation as a condition of
service to new developments in the unincorporated area may
be a reasonable condition to providing sewer service.
In a memorandum dated March 20, 1989, Diane Catran
Roth, Deputy City Attorney, provided the following legal
opinion concerning whether the City can require annexation
as a condition of sewer service:
"As a Clean Water Grant recipient, the City is
required to use grant funded capacity to serve project
area users on a fair and equitable basis. Once the grant
funded capac i ty has been expended, the City is under no
further obligation to use local funds to serve
unincorporated areas which are not provided for under a
JPA. The City may impose reasonable conditions to
providing service, and requiring annexation may under some
circumstances be reasonable. The City should look at each
request on an individual basis to determine what
conditions, if any, should be imposed."
.
24
3/20/89
.
City Attorney Penman stated that as a result of the
findings and conclusions of the State Water Resources
Control Board in the case of the City of San Luis Obispo,
the chances of having to repay the $7.8 million grant has
been erased.
City Attorney Penman answered questions regarding the
history of sewer service in the Bryn Mawr area.
Herb Wessel, General Manager of the Water Department,
stated that a report has been prepared to analyze the
current and future Wastewater Treatment Plant capacity.
As a result of the decision of the State Water Resources
Control Board, Bernie Kersey, Director of Administration
and Finance, has prepared a new concept report dated March
17, 1989, outlining the requirements for outside City
sewer service.
City Attorney Penman stressed that the possibility
remains of a lawsuit independent of the State Water
Resources Control Board, and referred to a portion of the
legal opinion prepared by Diane Catran Roth, Deputy City
Attorney, dated March 20, 1989, as follows:
.
" .While the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) has taken a position that annexation as a
condition to providing service may be reasonable, it is
not an absolute position, and it may not be the position
that a court would take in a particular lawsuit. It is
conceivable that a lawsuit may be filed by one to whom
service has been denied, and the issue will then be before
the courts, not the SWRCB. Although it is difficult to
imagine a scenario in which a court would force a City to
use its own local resources to prov ide a serv ice to an
area outside of its jurisdictional boundaries, it is
possible that conditions may exist which require that
result. From a legal standpoint, it is more sound to take
the position taken by the SWRCB -- that we will examine
each request on an individual basis -- than to take an
absolute position."
Herb Wessel answered questions regarding whether the
grant funded capacity has been expended, stating that
approximately 99% of the funds have been expended and
that remaining funds are totally obligated.

Baetge, Executive Director, State Water Resources Control
Board, dated March 3, 1989, on the use of grant funds.
Herbert B. Wessel answered questions regarding the
responsibility of cost for City sewer connection.
A discussion ensued regarding the cost for sewer
capacity rights.
City Attorney Penman explained that if the City used
the grant-funded capaci ty for needs other than those for
which the capacity was provided, the State Water Resources
Control Board would expect the City to provide equivalent
capacity to serve users within the design service area who
are experiencing water quality problems.

Brad Kilger stated that in some cases the City has

In a letter dated December 19, 1988, Jim Minuto,
Manager of the Housing Program for Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG), provided a copy of the

from the RHNA. The ir recommendation concerni ng the Ci ty

constraints to this level of development, however, are
valid bases for revisions to the local housing element and
SCAG will support the jurisdiction in seeking approval of
this revision from the State Housing and Community
Development."
