Agenda Item No. /1 CITY 'OF SAN BERtARDINO . - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTIO~ STAFF REPORT Requests are regularly received from residents for alleys to be vacated. The process for vacation is established by State law, and provides for the area to be posted and a notice published in a newpaper of general circulation. In addition, notices are mailed to all abutting property owners and residents. A public hearing is conducted, after which a resolution ordering the vacation is adopted, or the item is tabled. Proponents are required to pay a $1,000.00 administrative fee in two equal payments. Some requests have recently been received for physically closing streets. There is no established policy for processing these requests. At the Council meeting of 4-3-95, a request was made that policy papers be prepared for these actions, for consideration by the Legislative Review Committee. After reviewing these papers at their meeting of 4-20-95, the COI!Ullittee concluded that a sufficient process was in place for vacation of streets and alleys, but directed that a policy for closure of City streets be prepared. The Policy for Closure of City Streets Ci ty of San Bernardino, was considered by the Legislative Review COI!Ullittee at their meeting of 6-8-95. The Policy was approved, with the in- clusion of an administrative fee of $1,000, and listing the pre- liminary estimate of cost on the petition. A motion was adopted to approve the Policy, as amended, and that it be forwarded to the Mayor and Council with a recommendation for approval. Revised 6-22-95 75-Q264
