ing the establishment of a standard collection procedure

TAX COLLECTION VERIFICATION/AUDIT MECHANISM -
JOHN AUSTIN - MUNICIPAL RESOURCES CONSULTANT -
CONTINUED FROM APRIL 6, 1987
This is the time and place continued to for consider-
ation of the implementation of a proposed mechanism re-
garding a tax collection verification/audit program in-
volving Municipal Resource Consultants and the Partnership
of John Austin and Allen Charkow. (34)
In a memorandum dated February 26, 1987, Warren Knud-
son, Director of Finance, provided a report on the pro-
posed tax collection verification/audit program. He ex-
plained that this type of program assures that sales taxes
are properly allocated within the County. The program
also assists City staff by providing computer generated
sales tax information. Mr. Knudson presented two pricing
alternatives, both of which are contingent upon additional
sales tax revenues obtained for the City:
1. 35% of additional sales tax revenue obtained for
the City. The 35% applies to any back quarters and the
first six consecutive reporting quarters following comple-
tion of MRC audit (and confirmation by the State).
2.
for the
same as
a. 25% of additional sales tax revenue obtained
City. The method of determining the amount is the
previously noted.
b. $9,000 annually for a sales tax information
services system which provides quarterly reports which
include sales tax information by business and category and
trend information.
16
4/20/87
Mr. Knudson recommended that the second alternative
be adopted.
The Mayor and Council discussed the cost that would
be incurred by the use of the proposed Tax Collection
Verification/Audit, and also the benefits that would be
derived from the service. They also discussed whether or
not the City Clerk's Office might take over the duties of
such a program.
City Clerk Clark answered questions, stating that
given time to study the procedure, she felt she could per-
form the duties. However, she explained that the profes-
sional firm has attorneys on staff with expertise that
would not be available to her staff.

REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF REQUIREMENT - SUB-SURFACE
INSTALLATION OF S.C.E. TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
LINES - WATERMAN AVENUE PROJECT FRONTAGE - JONATHAN
D. SKEITH
In an undated letter, Jonathan D. Skeith, E. J.
Roberts & Associates, requested a waiver of requirement of
sub-surface installation of S.C.E. transmission and dis-
tribution lines along with various common pole utilities
along Waterman Avenue project frontage. He set forth
three points on which he based his request: (35)
1. The understanding that there is currently under
consideration a standard which sets the maximum line size
at 33KV for underground installation requirements.
2. Cost: a minimum of $200,000, as confirmed with
Marie Sevilla, a right-of-way agent with Southern Cali-
fornia Edison (S.C.E.)
3. Other developments on Waterman Avenue apparently
have not been required to conform to the requirement.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, answered questions regarding the underground utility
pOlicy, stating that there will be an automatic exemption
18
4/20/87
for undergrounding 66 KV in a new City ordinance that is
being prepared. He stated there are some unclear provi-
sions in the present ordinance, and that the proposed
ordinance will probably go to the Legislative Review Com-
mittee next week.
The Mayor and Council discussed the undergrounding of
utilities pOlicy and the reason for some exceptions to the
policy in various developments in the City.
Mr. Skeith, E. J. Roberts & Associates, answered
questions, stating that a precedent had apparently been
set by allowing exemptions to the undergrounding of util-
ities policy in developments along Waterman Avenue.
City Attorney Prince answered questions.
Earl Roberts, representing the applicant, stated they
were ready to pull permits and a continuance of this mat-
ter would be a hardship for his client. He also stated
that the Public Utilities Commission won't allow under-
grounding of anything over 33 KV.
Council Member Quiel made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Strickler and unanimously carried, to ac-
cept the waiver of the requirement for sub-surface instal-
lation, based on the fact that those are 66 KVA transmis-
sion lines, and Southern California Edison Company has
notified the City that they do not underground 66 KVA.

SECCOMBE LAKE PARK - MAINTENANCE AND IRRIGATION _
REJECTION OF BIDS AND AUTHORIZATION TO READVERTISE
FOR BIDS
In a memorandum dated April 14, 1987, Roger Hard-
grave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, explained
that bids for maintenance and irrigation at Seccombe Lake
Park had been received. The project specifications re-
quired a mandatory walk-through of the project and one of
the bidders did not attend. The other bidder did not have
the required bid bond with the proposal. Therefore, both
bidders could and should be disqualified. (S-4)
Roger Hardgrave Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, answered questions, stating that there were three
separate bids regarding Seccombe Lake Park: the one being
discussed for maintenance and irrigation; and one for
electrical services, and one for custodial services, which
are not on the agenda today.

WASTE TO ENERGY PLANT TO BE CONSTRUCTED AT THE
MILLIKEN LANDFILL SITE IN ONTARIO - DAVID L. SOKOL -
PRESIDENT - OGDEN PROJECTS, INC.
Tim Kelly, Director of Engineering and Contract Ser-
vices, San Bernardino County, presented slides and ex-
plained the problems of San Bernardino County regarding
the increasing urgency of providing new alternatives of
disposing of solid waste. He explained the use of land-
fill sites within the County, and stated that there is a
decreasing amount of land available, unfavorable soil
conditions, and potential long term environmental con-
cerns. Mr. Kelly cited costs of disposing of solid waste
which are anticipated to increase. (41)
Ross Berlin, General Manager of West Coast Project
Implementation for Ogden Martin Systems, explained that
Johns Phillips, Vice President for Ogden Martin Systems,
who was bringing a portion of the video presentation, had
been delayed.
Mr. Berlin stated that there are over 135 Martin
plants in operation around the word, and three in the
United States: Hillsboro County, Florida; Tulsa, Oklahoma;
and Marion County, Oregon, which has been in full opera-
tion since June, 1986.
A video was presented which showed the Marion County,
Oregon plant in operation and described its functions.
Mr. Berlin answered questions about the video presen-
tation, stating that the plant in Oregon handles 550 tons
of solid waste per day. He stated that the resulting ash
from the operation is used in cinder block, which wears
well, and also in road ways. The metal particles in the
27
4/20/87
ash make the finished product more durable. The burning
process reduces the weight of the trash by 90% and the
volume by approximately 85%.
Mr. Berlin explained that San Bernardino County is
currently producing 1.4 million tons of trash a year. The
Ogden Martin system is not a complete solution, but could
dispose of up to 40% of the County's waste. It is antici-
pated that construction of the County plant will commence
by the end of this year. He also explained how electri-
city generated in the plants is sold back to Southern
California Edison Company.
No official action was taken.
