sioners' decision of abatement on property located at 1072
N. "G" Street. (54)
Mayor Pro Tempore Flores opened the hearing.
James O'Connor, 215 E. Commonwealth Avenue, Fuller-
ton, CA 92632, stated that since appearing before the
Board of Building Commissioners, he had some work done on
the property at 1072 N. "G" Street, beginning on September
9, 1987. He stated it was his intention to rehabilitate
the property.
Mr. O'Connor distributed "before" and "after" pic-
tures of the property to the Mayor and Common Council.
James Richardson, Acting Director, Building & Safety
Department, answered questions regarding past action by
the Building & Safety Department.
Mr. Richardson set forth a list of deficiencies,
which included sanitary and safety problems.
Mr. O'Connor stated he had contracted with a termite
inspector so it could be determined what needed to be done
in this area. He explained that he had owned the property
for about four years. He also explained that he had re-
ceived the first notice from the Building & Safety Depart-
ment sometime in May of 1987, in which it was indicated
there were problems on the property. Mr. O'Connor stated
11

that at that time, however, he didn't have time to act on
the matter and didn't realize the seriousness of the situ-
ation. When he later returned to appear before the Board
of Building Commissioners, he became aware of the condi-
tion of the property.
Mr. Richardson explained that if the Council is sat-
isfied that there is sufficient progress, then it would be
appropriate to allow additional time for the work to be
done. However, at the time Mr. O'Connor carne before the
Board of Building Commissioners, there was no progress.
Mr. Richardson stated it was his opinion
property requires substantial rehabilitation,
there are structural problems with the building,
some cosmetic repairs had been done.

SEWER CAPACITY RIGHTS - REIMBURSEMENT OF FEES PAID -
APPEAL HEARING - EARNEST HOLMES - TRIPLE H. RANCH
HOMES - CONTINUED FROM SEPTEMBER 21, 1987
This is the time and place continued to for consider-
ation of an appeal filed by Earnest Holmes, President of
Triple H. Ranch Homes, regarding reimbursement of fees
paid for sewer capacity rights on Tract No. 13296. (55)
Mr. Herbert H. Holmes, representing Triple H. Homes,
stated that the project on Tracts 10104 and 13296 of 18
single family residences had been stopped by the City.
City Administrator Schweitzer summarized a staff
report dated September 25, 1987, from Deputy City Adminis-
trator Robbins, in which he set forth previous actions
regarding the issue of sewer capacity rights purchased by
Triple H. Ranch Homes. Two issues are involved:
1. The purchase of sewer capacity rights at differ-
ent prices. The price July 8, 1986 when five rights were
purchased was $1,620 each. The fifteen rights purchased
on May 15, 1987, were $2,260 each. The difference in cost
is $640 per unit or $9,600 for fifteen units.

UNDERGROUND DISTRICT 16 - PUBLIC HEARING - BETWEEN
NINTH STREET & APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET NORTH OF
16TH STREET AND APPROXIMATELY 250 FEET EAST AND
WEST OF MT. VERNON AVENUE
This is the time and place set for a public hearing
to consider the formation of an Underground Utility Dis-
trict 16, located between Ninth Street and approximately
200 feet north of 16th Street and approximately 250 feet
east and west of Mt. Vernon Avenue. (57)
Mayor Pro Tempore Flores opened the hearing.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, answered questions regarding the cost of this proj-
ect to surrounding property owners. He stated there is a
Public Utilities Commission Rule which requires Edison to
set aside a certain percentage of their revenue for under-
grounding utility facilities within districts established
by the City. If this district is established, the Edison
Co. will use those monies to underground all the major
wires along Mt. Vernon. The only cost to property owners
will be conversion of the electrical service from overhead
to underground.
13
10/5/87
Don Stewart, property owner, stated that construction
is now being done on Mt. Vernon and assumed that it re-
lates to the undergrounding, even though it has not been
approved by the Council. He complained about his possible
costs.
Mr. Hardgrave stated that the construction underway
is not related to undergrounding, and explained that there
is a project in that area to put in new street lights. He
stated that it would probably take 20 to 24 months before
the undergrounding project would commence.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Minor and unanimously carried, that the
public hearing be closed.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, to direct

UNDERGROUNDING UTILITIES - APPEAL HEARING - REQUEST
FOR TEMPORARY EXEMPTION - LIONEL S.HELLER - 455
SOUTH "D" STREET - CONTINUED FROM SEPTEMBER 21, 1987
This is the time and place continued to for consider-
ation of an appeal filed by Lionel S. Heller, 202 W. Hill-
crest Avenue, P. O. Box 5370, San Bernardino, CA 92412,
for a temporary exemption of undergrounding utilities at
455 South "D" Street. (58)
Mayor Pro Tempore Flores opened the hearing.
Mr. Heller, appellant, reviewed his request for a
temporary exemption from the undergrounding of utilities
until the matter was clarified. There was a discussion
regarding the possibility of posting a bond pending the
establishment of an assessment district. At the meeting
of the Mayor and Council on September 21, 1987, the Mayor
and Council directed the City Attorney and City Treasurer
to prepare a document whereby payments could be made on an
annual basis. Mr. Heller stated he still wants direction
from the Council as to what he should do.
Sr. Assistant City Attorney Barlow summarized the
proposed agreement, stating that the City would agree to
waive the immediate undergrounding if the property owner
or developer would agree that once the cost is determined,
the City may collect the cost either by placing it on the
tax roll or by the property owner executing a deed of
trust for the actual cost. If the property owner at some
time in the future refuses to execute the deed of trust,
then the City would have the option either to collect it
by whatever remedy it wished, or place it on the tax roll.
Interest would be collected at the rate of 10% per annum
and the developer would be allowed to pay the money back
over a period of up to five years in two payments a year.
The City would then have ten years to do the under-
grounding work. The agreement would be recorded and be-
come a lien on the property, so that if the property is
14
10/5/87
-l
sold, the agreement would still exist. In the meantime,
if the developer wished, he could do the undergrounding
himself, and the City would release the lien.
Mr Heller stated he would prefer the longer time
frame and would be willing to cooperate.
Council Member Flores made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Minor and unanimously carried, that the
appeal hearing be closed.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the
City agree to waive the immediate requirement of the
undergrounding of utilities on the condition that the
owners of the property enter into an agreement to make
semi-annual payments for a period not to exceed five years
for the cost of undergrounding, plus interest at the rate
of 10% per annum, security for which will be a trust deed
to be executed in the future, or a tax lien on the prop-
erty. The Mayor was authorized to sign the agreement.
COUNCIL MEMBER ESTRADA RETURNED
Council Member Estrada returned to the Council Meet-

PROPERTIES - CONTINUED FROM SEPTEMBER 21, 1987
This is the time and place continued to for consider-
ation of an an appeal filed by Irving Chase, S & A Prop-
erties, for a temporary exemption of the requirement of
undergrounding utilities on a project located at Mill
Street and "G" Street. (59)
Mayor Pro Tempore Flores opened the hearing.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, stated this project had been delayed by the Central
City South Project in order to incorporate this design in
the overall project. He explained that a meeting had been
held with all participants to work out a satisfactory
agreement. The Redevelopment Agency had provided modifi-
cations.
Irving Chase, S & A Properties, stated that the Re-
development modification was acceptable. He also wanted
the Council to be aware of the fact that if the Central
City South Assessment District is not formed and his group
form their own district, they will be be providing bene-
fits to all other property owners.
John Hoeger, Development Specialist, Redevelopment
Agency, explained that the modified motion provides that
SIMA Properties develop landscaping in accordance with the
Central City South design, and that SIMA be allowed reim-
bursement or credit against their assessment when it is
formed for the landscaping. The landscaping must be done
up front.
Irving Chase asked that there be some kind of provi-
sion whereby he could obtain a Certificate of Occupancy
while the plans are being approved.
Mr. Hoeger stated there should be a short term let-
ter of credit on the landscaping to allow SIMA time to
install the landscaping up front. There should also be a
long term letter of credit to secure the undergrounding of
electrical utilities.

Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, answered questions, stating it would be possible to
form an assessment district for just the parcel in ques-
tion.

Council Member Minor and unanimously carried, that the
hearing be closed.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Minor and unanimously carried, that the

the SIMA Project (Parcel Map No. 9506) in the Central City
Assessment District, to finance the cost for underground-
ing utilities, major landscaping nodes, installation and

lic improvements required under Parcel Map No. 9506, ap-
proval by the City of all landscaping installation both
within public rights-of-way and on-site landscaping, in-
cluding landscaped nodes, except, however, that the com-
pletion of construction of the public improvements to be
so approved by the City as a condition for the issuance of
a Certificate of Occupancy shall not include the under-
grounding of electrical utilities and other appropriate
utilities in "G" Street as otherwise required by Parcel
Map No. 9506 if an agreement by and between the City and
the owners of the SIMA Project has been recorded against
the SIMA Project which (i) commits the owners of the SIMA
Project to participate in the Central City Assessment
District or any other assessment district required by the
City, and (ii) in the event the Central City Assessment
District or any other assessment district required by the
City is not formed, provides a financial security mechan-
ism to the City at the time and in form and substance ac-
ceptable to the City Treasurer and the City Attorney to
adequately guarantee the performance by the owners of the
SIMA Project of the obligation to underground all electri-
cal utilities and other appropriate utilities in "G"
Street and to pay all costs in connection therewith as
required by Parcel Map No. 9506;
The developer was also required to provide security
in the form of a long term letter of credit for the under-
grounding, not to exceed two years; and to submit a short
term letter of credit, not to exceed 90 days, to insure
the installation of landscaping; approval was also given
to allow the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy prior
to completion of landscaping.

Mr. Abedor, owner of property at 911 W. Highland
Avenue, stated they would do the undergrounding on the
west side of the property, and would be willing to pay for
the undergrounding work on the south side, approximately
90'. He also stated his preference to pay for this over a
five year period.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Flores and unanimously carried, that the
appeal hearing be closed.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the
City agree to waive the immediate requirement of the

of 10% per annum; security for which will be a trust deed
to be executed in the future or a tax lien on the prop-
erty. As a point of clarification, the owner is required
to immediately install the undergrounding on the west side
of the property and the above agreement will apply only to
the utilities on the east and south sides.

mission's approval of Conditional Use Permit NO. 87-27, in
particular, Standard Condition No. 10 which states "All
utility lines shall be installed underground subject to
exceptions approved by the Planning Department and the
City Engineer". (61)
Mayor Pro Tempore Flores opened the hearing.
Mr. Ed Leonelli, one of the property owners, spoke
regarding the Recreational Vehicle Over-Night Park, 9th
Street, west of Tippecanoe. He reviewed previous action,
stating that there are presently 80 spaces and the pro-
posed project would add an additional 30 spaces. He
stated they had been given a waiver on the undergrounding
on the first 80 spaces. He explained that no buildings
are being put in, just underground utilities, cement slabs
and landscaping, and again requested a waiver on under-
grounding.
Mr. Leonelli stated he had met with Edison staff, but
had not been able to get a firm figure on the cost of the
undergrounding.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, answered questions, stating that the developer could
put in the undergrounding as long as it is done according
to Edison's plans and standards. He explained that pre-
cise figures are not available until the project is de-
signed and bid out.
Mr. Hardgrave suggested the possibility of an assess-
ment district by assessing this second project and the
nearby Assured Mini-Storage which is under a requirement
to underground. Rule 20 money could then be used as a
contribution to the district for the first project of the
RV park and the vacant lot on the corner for complete
undergrounding along 9th Street and Tippecanoe.

NISHING AND DELIVERY OF MODULAR FURNISHINGS
& PANELS TO BE UTILIZED BY CITY HALL IN
ACCORDANCE WITH BID SPECIFICATION F-87-38.
(46 )
City Clerk Clark read the title of the resolution.
Dean Meech, Purchasing Agent, answered questions
regarding a $22,822.45 item for furniture for the Redevel-
opment Agency, stating it was in the original bid when
they did a floor-by-floor inventory.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, answered questions, stating that his original report
listed furniture in the Water Department and the Redevel-
opment Agency. It was desired to get the modular systems
through the same contractor for uniformity, although those
two agencies are supposed to reimburse the City for those
costs.
City Attorney Penman indicated that his office does
not need new desks and doesn't feel the need for the modu-
lar systems.
19
10/5/87
Carol Hatch, Space Planner Design Consultant,
answered questions regarding furniture for the City At-
torney's Office. She stated the project was originally
designed so that the modular walls could be used in con-
junction with existing furniture. It was up to each de-
partment to determine how the modular systems would be
used.
City Administrator Schweitzer answered questions,
stating the City was formerly charging the Redevelopment
Agency, Water Department and Refuse Division rent which
was just sufficient to cover the principal payments on
City Hall. About a year ago, the rent was raised to the
going rate in the area. The difference between the old
and new rates is being used for the renovation of City
Hall.
The Council discussed the expenditure for new fur-
nishings in light of the present shortage of City funds.
Wayne Overstreet, Superintendent, Public Buildings/-
Parking Control, explained that direction was given by the
Mayor and Common Council to plan for the year 2000 in
renovation plans, so that even if the new system is not
needed now, eventual growth will require the change. Plans
were also made to relocate Engineering Department and
allocate additional space to the Redevelopment Agency and
Water Department. A financial plan was developed whereby
the entire renovation could be done without impacting the
General Fund, by raising the rent to the self supporting
agencies.
City Attorney Penman stated the modular equipment
might interfere with air circulation and cause the office
to be too warm.
Mr. Overstreet stated that the modular walls do not
reach the ceiling and would not interfere with air circu-
lation.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Pope-Ludlam and unanimously carried, that

al Planner for Southern California Governments (SCAG) was

ment Information Center (MIC), Sixth Floor, City Hall, 300

ROLL CALL
Roll Call was taken by Deputy City Clerk Martinez
with the following being present: Mayor Pro Tempore
Flores; Council Members Estrada, Reilly, Flores, Maudsley,
Minor, Pope-Ludlam; Deputy City Clerk Martinez, City
Administrator Schweitzer. Absent: Mayor Wilcox; Council
Member Miller.
Nedra Bickel, Regional Planner for Southern Cali-
fornia Association of Governments (SCAG), presented a
Prototype Transportation/Land Use Ordinance developed by
SCAG to assist cities and counties in establishing a pro-
gram that will reduce traffic congestion and air pollu-
tion.
Ms. Bickel stated that because clean air standards
have not been met, the Environmental Protection Agency has
already instituted sanctions for large construction proj-
ects that emit 100 tons of pollution per year beginning
February, 1988. SCAG is concerned about facing more sanc-
tions, because the withdrawal of Federal highway, sewage
treatment, and other funds, affects all development in the
region.
The Council expressed their concern that the ordi-
nance would be in conflict with the City's revitalization
efforts.

APPOINTMENT - PLANNING COMMISSION - FRANCISCO
GOMEZ - FIRST WARD
In a memorandum dated September 29,1987, Mayor
Wilcox requested the appointment of Francisco Gomez, 533
Western Avenue, San Bernardino, CA 92411 to the Planning
Commission pursuant to a request by Council Member
Estrada, representing the First Ward. (C)
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Minor, that the appointment of Francisco
Gomez, 533 Western Avenue, San Bernardino, CA 92411, by
Council Member Estrada, representing the First Ward, be
approved.
Members of the Council discussed the procedure fol-
lowed in making appointments to various City committees
and commissions.
The fact that the City Administrator and City Attor-
ney felt it was their responsibility to request informa-
tion from the Police Department relative to an appointee
was discussed. The Council felt there was no precedent or
procedure for such an incident. It was stated that it is a
difficult situation for the Council to find that one of
their prospective appointees was selected for an investi-
gation or a review by the Police Department without the
Council's or potential appointee's knowledge.
It was stated that the Mayor and Common Council had
never been involved in the establishment of a procedure
for screening appointees.
CITY ATTORNEY PENMAN ARRIVED
At 2:10 p.m., City Attorney Penman arrived at the
Council Meeting.
22 10/5/87
City Attorney Penman answered questions regarding the
character check, stating that State statutes and the City
Charter give authority for this type of procedure. He
referred to certain California Government Codes, Penal
Code Sections, and from City Charter Article II Section
15. He also stated he was told there was a City resolu-
tion that deals with appointment procedures.
Members of the Council voiced concern that there was
no procedure established for conducting investigations or
review of potential appointees.
City Attorney Penman stated if information were given
to him about a potential appointee having a criminal
record and he failed to investigate, he would consider it
a dereliction of his responsibility.
City Attorney Penman recommended the enactment of an
ordinance to set forth proper procedures for investigation
and review of potential appointees. He suggested that the
matter be referred to the Legislative Review Committee for
review and study.
Council Member Estrada requested that this matter be
placed on the next regular Council Agenda, October 19,
1987, and that no further checks be made until a procedure
is established. She also requested that all available
Government Code Sections and information be provided for
Council review.
City Attorney Penman stated that State law prohibits
those who have been convicted of certain crimes from hold-
ing some offices and if there is no procedure to determine
their status, he would not be doing his job if he didn't
do an investigation.
Phil Arvizo, Executive Assistant to the Council,
outlined the present procedure for Council appointments to
various committees and commissions.
The motion on
co Gomez to the
carried.
the previous motion to appoint Francis-
Planning Commission was unanimously
Deputy City Clerk Reese administered the Oath of
Office to Mr. Gomez.
PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT NO. 87-37 - APPEAL - SOUTHWEST CORNER
OF 33RD STREET AND "E" STREET - JOHN H. WOOLARD
This is the time and place set to hear an appeal
filed by John Woolard on the Planning Commission's deci-
sion of approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 87-37,
Applicant Tait & Associates, Owner Thrifty Oil Co. to per-
mit the off-site sale of alcoholic beverages from a pro-
posed convenience store. The location of the proposed
market is the southwest corner of 33rd Street and "E"
Street. (71)
Mayor Pro Tempore Flores opened the hearing.
Ann Siracusa, Planning Director, stated that Condi-
tional Use Permit No. 87-37 is a request to permit off-
site sale of alcoholic beverages from a proposed conven-
ience store in connection with an existing 24 hour gaso-
line station at the southwest corner of 33rd and "E"
Streets. She stated that the Planning Commission and
Police Department had recommended approval of the CUP.
23
10/5/87
The Planning Department recommended upholding the Planning
Commission's decision and denial of the appeal. However,
several letters of protest were received.
John Woolard, 527 W. 33rd Street, appellant, referred
to letters of protest received regarding the proposed
project and set forth his objections. He stated that
parking problems could occur because the parking lot is
too small, and referred to the gasoline tankers creating
traffic problems when pulling out of the driveway. He
objected to the 24 hour operation because of potential
noise factors. He also objected to the sale of liquor
because of potential drinking parties in the parking lot.
Mr. Woolard stated the proposed convenience market
could create traffic hazards and cited statistics regard-
ing accidents and speeding in the area.
Mr. Woolard referred to a petition signed by approxi-
mately 100 people in the neighborhood who also objected to
the proposed convenience market.
Mr. Mike Zenus, representing Circle K, indicated that
the proposed convenience market would improve the neigh-
borhood appearance because of the landscaping. He stated
that the parking meets all City standards, and that
studies have shown that the traffic at 33rd and "E"
Streets is low to moderate. He explained that only about
10% of the shelf space will be allotted to alcoholic bev-
erages, and the operation is designed so that people will
not congregate in the area to drink, but simply to pur-
chase beverages and leave the area.
Mr. Zenus also stated that Circle K has an intensive
program of training for managers in how to handle problems
that may occur because of drinking or loitering; also,
that laws prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages from
2:00 - 6:00 a.m.
Mr. Zenus answered questions, stating that the market
could operate without the sale of alcoholic beverages, but
they would prefer not to do it that way. He stated Circle
K maintains a fine degree of cleanliness, and does every-
thing they can to cooperate with the neighborhood in oper-
ating a safe, attractive business.
CITY CLERK CLARK ARRIVED
At 3:10 p.m., City Clerk Clark arrived at the Council
Meeting and replaced Deputy City Clerk Reese.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Reilly and unanimously carried, that the
appeal hearing be closed.
Council Member Minor made a motion,
Council Member Flores, to uphold the appeal
proval of Conditional Use Permit 87-37.

The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes:
Council Member Estrada, Reilly, Flores, Maudsley, Minor.
Abstain: Council Member Pope-Ludlam. Absent: Council
Member Miller.
POLICY - CONVENIENCE MARKETS
A discussion ensued regarding the establishment of a
policy regarding the development of convenience markets in
the City of San Bernardino, as many requests to establish
such businesses have been denied, even after companies
have invested money in preparing for such a project.
24
10/5/87
Planning Director Siracusa stated that as much of the
objection stems from the 24 hour use of the facilities in
residential neighborhoods as it does from the sale of
alcohol, and that each request is considered individually.
No action was taken.
COMMENDATION - LINDA WARSAW - YOUNG AMERICAN MEDAL
OF SERVICE AWARD - KIDS AGAINST CRIME
Richard Bennecke, Executive Assistant to the Mayor,
on behalf of Mayor Wilcox, the Common Council and the City
of San Bernardino, commended Linda Warsaw, who was re-
cently awarded the Government Young American Medal for
Bravery and Service. She has also received a National
Award and will be going to Washington, D.C. for a presen-
tation by President Reagan. After volunteering in the
Victim Witness Advocacy Program, Linda created "Kids
Against Crime" to increase awareness of the rights of
children and provided information regarding crime preven-
tion. Linda has donated over 2100 hours to her program
and assisted many young children in turning their lives
around. (B)
Linda Warsaw was present to accept the award.
UNDERGROUNDING UTILITIES - APPEAL OF REQUIREMENT -
NORTHEAST CORNER OF 40TH STREET AND SEPULVEDA -
RICHARD I. HEHR - CONTINUED FROM SEPTEMBER 21, 1987
This is the time and place continued to for consider-
ation of an appeal filed by Richard I. Hehr, 7415 Roland
Ave., Playa Del Rey, CA 92023, regarding the requirement
for undergrounding utilities on property located at the
northeast corner of 40th Street and Sepulveda Avenue.
(72)
Mayor Pro Tempore Flores opened the hearing.
Mr. Richard Hehr gave the background of the develop-
ment at the northeast corner of 40th Street and Sepulveda
Avenue. He stated that a variance was received at the
commencement of the project in April, 1985, a building
permit received in October, 1987, after plans had been
submitted, and in February, 1987, plans were submitted to
Edison, which were approved. At no time during any of
these procedures was there any mention of undergrounding
off-sites. They called for final inspection in September,
1987, and were informed they couldn't get a Certificate of
Occupancy until the off-sites were undergrounded.
It was estimated that the cost for off-site under-
grounding would be about $35,000 with additional costs of
approximately $15,000 to rip out sidewalks and parking
lot. The project is finished and ready to open. The proj-
ect is only 6,000 square feet, so could not support the
additional cost.
Mr. Hehr answered questions.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Pope-Ludlam, that the hearing be closed and
the appeal be granted.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes:
Council Members Estrada, Flores, Maudsley, Minor, Pope-
Ludlam. Noes: Council Member Reilly. Absent: Council
Member Miller.

ment plan, which is reviewed as part of the budget pro-

RES. 87-348 - RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO ESTABLISHING RATES IN CONNECTION
WITH THE DISSEMINATION OF COPIES OF "THE
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO OPTIMAL HOUSING
PRODUCT MIX, RECENT TRENDS, FUTURE EXPECTA-
TIONS AND POLICY CONSIDERATIONS HOUSING
REPORT" TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. (25)
(Continued from September 28, 1987)
City Attorney Penman stated that the matter of a
proper charge for the Housing Study Report had been ana-
lyzed by two attorneys in his office. The attorneys dif-
fered as to what could be charged for selling copies of
the Report. Mr. Penman stated he would research the issue
and give his opinion. In the meantime, he suggested that
provisions of the current resolution in effect be followed
and if a copy of the document is requested, it must be
furnished to the requester within ten days under provi-
sions of the Public Records Act.
City Clerk Clark stated that her office provides
copies of documents to the press at no cost, and explained
other charges made by her office.
The Council discussed the need to establish a policy
regarding the furnishing of copies of documents to the
public. It was suggested that copies of the Housing
Study be placed in the Library and other City officials'
office.
City Attorney Penman stated that the Council would be
safe by charging the actual cost of reproduction.
Ken Henderson, Director, Community Development De-
partment, answered questions regarding requests for the
housing study. He indicated that even if the report were
available, it would not be disseminated to the general
public prior to the Mayor and Common Council's receiving
and accepting it. Only a couple of requests have been
received since the workshop.
City Attorney Penman suggested that even though a
resolution is normally amended by another resolution, if
the Council were to make a decision today to charge a
certain amount that is not in excess of the actual cost of
publication, that could be done. Then at the next meeting
a resolution could be ratified to accept the amendment.
City Clerk Clark pointed out that the Charter re-
quires that a resolution be amended by another resolution.
She also stated that the Police Department has a
different resolution pertaining to charges in that they
charge as much as $2.00 per page for pOlice reports, while
the City is limited to ten cents per page for copies.
Mr. Henderson expressed his concern that if one
charge is made at this time, and a different charge is
arrived at after further research, it would be unfair to
those who paid the higher amount. He stressed the impor-
tance of a consistent charge. He suggested that the
Council could change the fee per page for all documents
outside the Police Department and that this matter be
referred to the Legislative Review Committee.
City Treasurer Graves suggested the possibility of
having the Housing Study copied by an outside printing
establishment, such as Quik Print, and recommended that
the Legislative Review Committee study the whole copy
policy of the City.
28
10/5/87
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Minor, that a charge of $32.50 be made for
"The City of San Bernardino Optimal Housing Product Mix,
Recent Trends, Future expectations and Policy Considera-
tions Housing Report".
Mr. Henderson answered questions, stating that the
actual printing costs incurred by the consultant was about
$20.00 per copy, which did not include any staff or secre-
tarial time.
City Attorney Penman recommended that the charge made
by the City not exceed $20.00.
Council Member Maudsley amended his previous motion
by changing the amount from $32.50 to $20.00, seconded by
Council Member Minor and unanimously carried.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Minor, that said resolution be adopted as
amended.

(62)

report from the Mayor's Traffic Safety Advisory Committee,

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE - REPORT - SEPTEMBER
28, 1987
Council Member Flores, member of the Ways
Committee, gave the report of the meeting of the
Means Committee held September 28, 1987. The
items were discussed:
and Means
Ways and
following
(66)
1. ~umane Soci~!y~roEosal for Operating
Animal Shelter - Considerable discussion
took place regarding the proposal from the
Humane Society, their request for addition-
al time, the possibility of going out for
additional proposals and the status of
hiring a new Director of Animal Control.
The Committee concluded that enough time
had elapsed for all concerned parties and
recommended that the Humane Society pro-
posal not be accepted and that the Animal
Control function remain with the City. The
Commi ttee further recommended that Ms.
Debra Biggs be extended as a consultant for
an additional thirty days to provide time
for review and interview of applicants for
the permanent position of Director, Animal
Control.
Susan Dawson, a 17 year member of the Humane Society
Board of Directors, stated the Society had given approxi-
mately $70,000 to the City for various projects at the
local animal shelter.
Ms. Dawson stated that some months ago the Humane
Society was asked to submit a proposal to the City of San
Bernardino relative to taking over the operation of the
animal control program. A proposal was submitted on Sep-
tember 17, 1987 to Deputy City Administrator Robbins. When
more information was requested, she requested a continu-
ance, which was denied. After a brief conference with
Mayor Wilcox, Ms. Dawson was informed by Mr. Robbins that
the matter would be continued to October 12, 1987.
Ms. Dawson later was informed that the Humane Society
proposal was discussed and denied at the Ways and Means
Committee held on September 28, 1987, even though she was
unaware of the fact the matter would be considered.
MS. Dawson stated she was requesting (1) that this
matter go back to the Ways and Means Committee; and (2)
that a committee, possibly an ad hoc committee made up of
members of the Ways and Means Committee and others, be
formed for an in-depth study of the proposal by the Humane
Society.
36
10/5/87
Ms. Dawson referred to the current City budget figure
for the Animal Shelter of $551,000, and expressed doubt
that proper service can be provided for that amount. The
budget proposed by the Humane Society is $672,000, but can
be negotiated.
The City Administrator was directed to extend the
existing contract with Debra Biggs as consultant at the
Animal Control Shelter for a period of thirty days.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Reilly, that the Humane Society's proposal
be referred back to the Ways and Means Committee for addi-
tional review.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes:
Council Members Reilly, Maudsley, Minor, Pope-Ludlam.
Noes: Council Member Flores. Absent: Council Members
Estrada, Miller.
Jules Cavalho, a member of Citizens for Responsible
Research, asked the Council's permission to be heard re-
garding the Humane Society's proposal and stated he would
go to the Ways and Means Committee Meeting.
2. Animal Control Fees - The Committee
recommended an increase of the Field Ser-
vice Fee from $6.00 to $10.00. The Commit-
tee also recommended an increase in owner
release fees as follows:
CITY RESIDENTS
OTHER
Dogs (over 4 Mos. age)
Dogs (under 4 Mos. age)

4.00
4.00
8.00
1. 00
$10.00
6.00
6.00
10.00
2.00
Staff recommendation of the above fees do
not apply to stray animals or persons re-
questing service for a problem with strays.
Residents may br ing the animal in at a
reduced fee or have Animal Control do the
pickup. Animal Control staff would have
latitude to waive certain fees based on the
ability of individuals to pay for service.
The dead animal disposal fee would apply to
veterinarians who use the City's freezer
for animals received at their businesses.
(A report was attached)
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Flores and unanimously carried, that the
Ci ty Attorney be instructed to prepare the necessary
amendment to the resolution on animal control fees as
recommended by the Ways and Means Committee, and the City
Clerk be instructed to advertise the proposed fees for a
public hearing to be held November 2, 1987.
3. Library Budget - The Committee received
the attached report. No change in the
current policy was recommended. The Finance
Director was directed to forward a copy of
monthly disbursements to the Council Office
each month. The Committee inquired of the
City Administrator for any requests from
the City Librarian on unmet needs due to
current funding policy. The City Adminis-
37
10/5/87
trator stated there have been no requests
from the City Librarian on unmet needs due
to policy.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Pope-Ludlam and unanimously carried, that

Mayor and Common Council at noon on Monday, October 19,
1987, in the Management Information Center (MIC), to dis-
cuss the budget.
4. Parking District Briefing - The Commit-
tee recommended this item be referred to
the Transportation Committee and the Econ-
omic Restructuring Committee (Main Street)
for their perusal. The Finance Director was
asked to provide the Parking District fund-
ing report to the next Ways & Means Commit-
tee meeting on October 12, 1987.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Pope-Ludlam and unanimously carried, that
the minutes of the Ways and Means Committee meeting held
September 28, 1987, be received and filed.
