body organs and cause blindness and even death and that lead is
especiallY hazardous to children of less than seven (7) years of
age. Accordingly, Grantee hereby covenants and agrees to take
all actions set out in paragraphS 1 through 6 below.
a. The Grantee shall remove all lead-based paint
hazards and all potential lead-based paint hazards from the

shall determine, through its inspection (or at its discretion,
the inspection and certification of a local government official)

the use of the property for residential habitation or use of the
property by children under seven (7) years of age.
b. The Grantee understands and agrees that the
Grantor's inspection and finding of satisfactory performance is
not intended to and does not constitute a guarantee that all
lead-based paint hazards and potential lead-based paint hazards
have been eliminated from the property and does not relieve the
Grantee of the responsibility for complying with applicable State
and local lead-based paint laws and regulations.
c. The Grantee agrees to indemnify the Grantor from
any liability arising by reason of the Grantee's failure to
perform its obligations under this agreement with respect to
elimination of immediate lead-based paint health hazards, the
prohibition against the use of lead-based paint, and the
Grantee's responsibility for complying with applicable State and
local lead-based paint laws and regulations.
d. To the fullest extent permitted by law and equity,
these covenants shall be binding for the benefit and in favor of
and be enforceable by the Grantor and by its successors in
office. The Grantor and its successors in office shall be

observance of these covenants, enjoin acts which are violative of
these covenants, and exercise any other legal or equitable right
or remedy with respect to these covenants. These rights and
remedies may be exercised separately or in combination.

e. Following compliance with the covenants set forth
in lO.a. above, upon request of the Grantee, its successors and
assigns, the Grantor shall execute a recordable document
acknowledging that these covenants have been terminated and are
of no further force or effect.
f. If the Grantee fails to comply with lO.a. above,
the Grantor will not exercise the rights reserved in lO.d. above,
if any lender secured by the property gives written notice to the
Government that it intends to complete the rehabilitation
required by 10.a. above, and completes such rehabilitation within
thirty (30) days from the date of the notice, or within such
longer period as the Grantor may approve in writing.
11. Grantor reserves a right of access to any and all portions
of the herein described property for purposes of environmental
investigation, remediation, or other corrective action. This
reservation includes the right of access to and use of, to the
extent permitted by law, available utilities at a reasonable cost
to the Grantor. These rights shall be exercisable in any case in
which a remedial action, response action, or corrective action is
found to be necessary after the date of conveyance of the herein
described property, or such access is necessary to carry out a
remedial action, response action or corrective action on
adjoining property. Pursuant to this reservation, the United
States {including but not limited to, Region IX, United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)), and the State of
California, and their respective officers, agents, employees,
contractors, and subcontractors shall have the right (upon
reasonable notice to Grantee or the then owner and any authorized
occupant of the property) to enter upon the herein described
property and conduct investigations and surveys, to include
drillings, testpitting, borings, data and record compilation, and
other activities related to environmental investigation, and to
carry out remedial or removal actions as required or necessary
under applicable authorities, including but not limited to
monitoring wells, pumping wells, and treatment facilities.
12. In the event that there is a breach of any of the conditions
and covenants herein contained by the Grantee, its successors and
assigns, whether caused by the legal or other inability of the
Grantee, its successors and assigns, to perform said conditions
and covenants, or otherwise, all right, title, and interest in
and to the said premises shall revert to and become the property
of the Grantor at its option which in addition to all other
remedies for such breach shall have the right of entry upon said
premises, and the Grantee, its successors and assigns, shall
forfeit all right, title and interest in said premises and in any
and all of the tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances
thereunto belonging; provided, however, that the failure of the
Secretary of the Department of the Interior to require in anyone
or more instances complete performance of any of the conditions
or covenants shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment
of such future performance, but the obligation of the Grantee,
its successors and assigns, with respect to such future
performance shall continue in full force and effect.
13. The Grantee, by its acceptance of this deed, covenants and
agrees for itself, and its successors and assigns, that in the
event the Grantor exercises its option to revert all right,
title, and interest in the property to the Grantor, or the
Grantee voluntarily returns title to the property in lieu of a
reverter, then the Grantee shall provide protection to and
maintenance of said property at all times until such time as the
title is actually reverted or returned to and accepted by the
Grantor, including the period of any notice of intent to revert.
Such protection and maintenance shall, at a minimum, conform to
the standards prescribed by the General Services Administration
in its regulations FPMR 101-47.4913 (41 CFR Part 101) in effect
as of the date of this deed.

Dear Mr. Sly:
The City of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department is pleased
to report the progress that has been made in the development of the properties of the former
Norton Air Force Base that were received as a public benefit transfer. The properties that were
received through a quit claim deed effective January, 1995 consists of approximately 7.454 acres
and includes the Galaxy Recreation Center (Building No. 178), swimming pool (2353, 181, 180,
179), gymnasium (182) and tennis courts (2366, 2317). I am pleased to report that the annual
visitation at these facilities is estimated at 75,000. Following is a summary of the development
and use of these facilities.
1. Public Use Statement
Gymnasium - The gymnasium has received several improvements to bring the building
to code. These include installation of a fife sprinkler system, installation of fire alarm
system and roof repairs. Additionally, an intrusion alarm has been installed and other
minor repairs have been completed to make the building usable. These include repair
to plumbing, electrical, scoreboards, etc.
Additional planned improvements to this facility include connection to standard utility
services and abandonment of the old Air Force infrastructure. Electrical and gas line
connections are in progress and expected to be completed by February I, 1997.

C"[ICan"":A 0;:'410 .1816 (101)384-5233
r
The facility has been open for use since July, 1996. Uses of this facility include fitness
programs, and adult and youth basketball leagues and drop-in play. These programs are
offered directly by the City through the Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Department and through a shared use arrangement with San Bernardino County Juvenile
Probation.
Galaxy Recreation Center - This facility received significant improvements and repair to
bring it up to code and make it habitable. Improvements and repairs include roof repair,
new carpeting, new ceiling tile, interior remodeling, plumbing repair, placement of
parquet dance floor in grand ballroom, replacement of drapes with blinds, and installation
of fife alarm and intrusion alarm systems.
Additional planned improvements include connection to standard utility services. Even
though the building is occupied, it doesn't have any heat. Connection to gas and
electrical services are expected to be completed by February 1, 1997. Additional
improvements expected include replacement of commercial kitchen appliances and fIre
suppression equipment and installation of chandeliers and sound and lighting equipment
in the grand ballroom.
The Galaxy Center has been in use since July, 1996. Uses include grand ballroom events
such as youth and senior dances, youth counseling and alternative schools programming.
The latter is being accomplished through a partnership arrangement between the City and
San Bernardino County Juvenile Probation.
Tennis Courts - The tennis courts have been open for drop-in play since April, 1996.
Wind screens and nets were repaired and re-hung for public usage. No further
improvements are planned at this time.
Swim Pool - Improvements to the swimming pool to prepare it for use have been
deferred due to the proximity of Rudy C. Hernandez Center Swim Pool, a shortage of
operating funds and the lack of natural gas service to heat showers. Requisite
improvements are expected for the 1998-99 fiscal year visitation.
2. Program Utilization
There are no modifications to the program of utilization.
3. Developments and Improvements

5. Special Problems
Only one issue has surfaced with regard to the conveyed property. In the development
of the property description, the Air Force Surveyor apparently used an existing
description without conducting a field survey. In so doing, the quit claim deed
misidentifies the property line on the north boundary by forty feet. The legal
description, according to the existing document, would exclude the entire north portion
of the exercise track as well as portions of the pool deck and lifeguard office.
A solution has been worked out with the parties involved. A lot line adjustment will be
done by the City Planning and Building Services Department to preserve the existing
facilities. This department will be vigilant in ensuring that there is proper follow-through
on this.
6. Signage
Due to major work involving construction of new main line utilities and realignment and
widening of the roads, the requisite sign has not been erected. This construction work
is expected to be completed by spring of 1997 at which time the sign will be installed.
7. The Deed's Nondiscrimination Clause is in effect.
Please feel free to contact me at (909) 384-5031 if any additional information is required.
Sincerely,

Subject: Biennial Report and Site Inspection - Portion offonuer Norton AFB (D-CA567-M)
Dear Mr. Kramer:
The National Park Service (NPS) acknowledges receipt of the first biennial report dated
January 13, 1997 for the portions of the former Norton Air Force Base transferred to the City in
early 1995. The report and site inspection on June 30, 1997 of the conveyed property with you
raises several issues addressed in the following.
County Probatiou Department Occupancy - The referenced biemlial report notes the City's
partnership with San Bernardino County's Juvenile Probation Department tor the renovation and
operation of Galaxy Center and Recreation Center facilities. TIle site inspection revealed a large
open olllce area on the second floor, reported to be occupied counselors. The second floor is not
handicapped accessible. The first floor contains three classrooms, two of which were located with
the former smaller ballroom. The Galaxy Center's sign face has been replaced with sign
identifying the facility as the "Juvenile Justice Center".
Probation Department staff explained that the Center's purpose was to provide for intervention
progranls and activities for at-risk youth. Staff further explained that the Center's programs and
activities were open to all youth and were not restricted to youth Within the juvenile justice system.
It was explained that the city's demographic profile places most of the conmmnity's youth at-nsk.
It was also indicated that the agreement between the County and the City provide for non-exclusive
use of the facilities with the Galaxy Center's ballroom being available for rental by the general
public and used tor activities not associated with the Center's programs.
It was explained that the gynmasium/fitness center is open for general public use during evening
sessions operated by both the City recreation and the Center staff. Y 011 explained arrangements
with an on-base employer which would further expand mid-day IIse.
The tenus of transfer require that the City use and maintain the property for purposes described in
the program of utilization contained within the City's original application. The National Park
Service (NPS) tinds that the current use varies sulllciently from that described in the original
application.
-
In accordance with the terms of transfer, NPS requests that the City submit an amended program
of utilization describing the current use of the property. Please include additional demographic
information which supports predominate use of the buildings on the property by the Juvenile
Justice Center program.
Facility Sign age - The biennial report indicates that signage required by the terms of transfer
would be installed by the spring of 1997. The only sign observed on the property is that identifying
the facility as the "Juvenile Justice Center". This sign does not comply with the deed stipulations,
which require that signs identify the buildings as recreation facilities acquired from the federal
government and available for general public use. The City is requested to install required signage
at the main entrance to each of the two facilities, identifying the City as the managing agency.
Following installation, please provide photographs of the required signs.
City/County Agreement - The bielUlial report indicates a partnership arrangement between the
City and the County Juvenile Probation Department. During the site visit, it was reported that City
and County had entered into a fomlal agreement for the renovation, use, and occupancy of the
Galaxy Center and gynU1asiumlfitness center. The temlS of transfer pemlits the City to enter into
concession agreements, Iisences, or special use pemlits with other parties for the use of facilities
consistent with an approved application provided that prior concurrence is provided by NPS. NPS
has no record of prior review of an agreement for the occupancy or use of the conveyed facilities.
The City is requested to provide a copy of any agreement for the occupancy of the buildings by the
County Juvenile Probation Department for NPS review.
During the site visit you provided me with copies of a survey which remedies an inaccurate
property description contained within the deed. NPS understands that as a result of the survey, the
Inland Valley Development Corporation, the adjoining property owner, has conveyed an additional
strip of land to the City.
A copy of a street improvement plan for Art Townsend Drive, the adjoining road providing access
to the property was also provided during the site inspection. NPS understands that this project will
result in the loss of some of the parking spaces serving the conveyed facilities. We conclude,
however, that the lost parking area is not contained within the conveyed property.
We request the submission of the requested information not later than September 15, 1997. If you
have any questions regarding the three items requested in this letter, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (415) 427-1445.
