GENERALLY LOCATED BETWEEN THIRD STREET AND

Chris Saldecke, co-owner of the building at 355 N.

cation of the requirement of the undergrounding of utili-
ties on his property, he had delayed starting the project

ment. The City's contractor then began cutting the con-
crete on his property and Mr. Saldecke requested that he

owner of property at 143 E. 5th Street, APN 135 132 02,
stated that Mrs. Bailey has been at that address for 75
years, is 81 years old, on a fixed income and cannot af-
ford the assessment cost of $1,433.73. She requested
financial assistance for her grandmother.
Ken Henderson, Director, Community Development De-
partment, answered questions, stating there was a loan
grant program using CDBG funds, which he felt could be
used to help Mrs. Bailey. If she met the qualifications,
he suggested a grant could be given that would not require
repayment. He recommended that he meet with Mrs. Bailey
and Ms. Marinello in his office and discuss the problem.
He will report back to the Council this afternoon whether
or not Mrs. Bailey qualified for assistance.
City Attorney Penman stated that the lien process
could be used as an alternate method to assist Mrs.
Bailey, by putting a lien on the property for the costs of
the assessment, which would be taken care of at any time
the property would change hands.
.
Mr. Penman stated there were some districts that do
not allow exemptions from City costs even though the prop-
erty owner did the work. His office is researching the
issue to see if it applies to this district.
Mr. Penman explained that, regarding Mr. Saldecke's
protest, there is a dispute of fact, in that the City
contends that it did the work, and Mr. Saldecke claims he
did the work. Mr. Penman recommended that the hearing be
continued to get information as to who actually did the
work.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, stated that actually both the City and Mr. Saldecke
did the work. The City started it and Mr. Saldecke fin-
ished it. The City's bill is for $725.00.
Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Flores and unanimously carried, that there
be a report this afternoon on the status of Mrs. Bailey,
and that the hearing be continued to Monday, April 4,
1988, at 10:00 a.m., in the Council Chambers of City Hall,
300 North "D" Street, San Bernadino, California, to fur-
ther consider the protest filed by Chris Saldecke, 355

Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, presented the proposed Capital Improvement Program
for the budget years of 1987-88 to 1991-92, and distri-
buted a printed copy of the program to the Mayor and Com-
mon Council.
The Capital Improvement Program was developed to
enable the coordinated and systematic programming of
needed public improvements, to be formulated on a realis-
tic basis and within the financial capabilities of the
City. In the final analysis, the continuing operational
costs must be weighed against the public benefit to be
received and the operational savings from the replacement
of substandard facilities (such as water and sewer mains).
In summary, the Capital Improvement Program is de-
signed to provide a centralized and comprehensive mechan-
ism for:
Forecasting and defining capital needs;
Assigning priorities among capital projects;
.
Budgeting projects in accordance with their
priorities and developing a projected revenue
program for financing improvements;
Scheduling the various projects on a fixed-time
basis and providing for appropriate planning
implementation;
Coordinating the activities of the various depart-
ments in meeting project schedules;
Monitoring and evaluating the progress of
capital projects;
Informing the general public and private
developers of projected capital improvements.
The total proposed expend i tures figure was
$77,258,085, which included the categories of General
Buildings; Streets & Street Lighting; Sewers; Storm
Drains; Traffic Controls; Park & Recreation; and Recrea-
tional Field Lighting.
Mr. Hardgrave went through the brochure explaining
the various projects, the costs and proposed financing for
each.
.
The Mayor and Council discussed various projects and
expressed particular concern regarding the re-signing and
16
3/21/88
.
striping of the five-level parking structure, which was
listed as a proposed project at a cost of $60,000.
Mr. Hardgrave answered questions, stating that it is
proposed that the ceilings be painted white to increase
the light and provide a safer atmosphere for citizens
using the parking structure, which would include the use
by the customers of the new downtown hotel.
It was pointed out that the basement of the five-
level parking structure also has security problems, even
though it is primarily a parking location for City
employees.
Glenda Saul, Executive Director of the Redevelopment
Agency, stated that problems with security in the parking
structure sometimes cause problems in furthering develop-
ment in the downtown area.
The Mayor and Council also discussed whether or not
the majority of improvements are being installed in the
downtown area, rather than being distributed equally
throughout the entire City.

GENERAL PLAN CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE - REQUEST
FOR ADDITIONAL TIME TO REVIEW LAND ALTERNATIVES
In a memorandum dated March 17, 1988, Ann Siracusa,
Planning Director, presented a request from the General
Plan Citizen Advisory Committee for additional time to
review the alternatives and formulate a recommendation
concerning land use alternatives. The present schedule
lists March 17, 1988, as the date by which the Citizen
Advisory Committee (CAC) is to make its recommendation to
the Planning Commission. (S-4)
Attached to the memorandum was a Schedule of Meetings
for the CAC, the Planning Commission and the Mayor and
Common Council, as planned through May 4, 1988. This
would give the CAC three extra meeting dates to reach a
recommendation on March 28, 1988.
John Traver, Chairman of the CAC, stated the Commit-
tee is not ready to present their recommendation at this
time. The Committee will meet the evening of March 21,
1988, from 6:1313 p.m., to 113:1313 p.m., to draw up a land
use map. He stated they would start with the easier por-
tions of the City which require very little change and
then work up to the more difficult sections.
.
City Attorney Penman explained that by June 113, 1989,
it is required that a General Plan be in place. What is
being worked on now is a temporary plan and will have to
be changed, so he recommended that this process be done as
quickly as possible to allow adequate time to prepare the
final plan.
Planning Director Siracusa explained that the revised
schedule does not change the dates that the Council has
already set. It does compress the Planning Commission
into four meetings in two weeks, which may present a prob-
lem, and some changes may have to be made.
Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the
General Plan Citizen Advisory Committee's request for
additional time to review the land use alternatives be
approved, subject to "Exhibit B" which was presented to
the Council.
.
FISCALINI FIELD - REPORT FROM J. J. VAN HOUTEN
& ASSOCIATES, INC. RELATIVE TO NOISE LEVELS
In a memorandum dated February 26,1988, Annie
Ramos, Director, Parks, Recreation & Community Services,
gave the background on the need for a report regarding the
noise emanating from Fiscalini Field and the "Spirit"
baseball games. The preliminary report required by the
18
3/21/88
.
agreement with noise consultant J. J. Van Houten &
Assoc., Inc., has been reviewed and the final report is
now ready to be received by the Mayor and Common Council.
(38)
John J. Van Houten, a registered professional engi-
neer, with an office in Anaheim, stated he had done exten-
sive measurements of the noise levels during several
Spirit ball games and during periods when games were not
being played. The findings were clear that the Spirit
promotion music, amplified announcements and crowd reac-
tion when measured at the nearest community locations did
not exceed recognized standards.
However, the findings did acknowledge noise which
would clearly be identified as an annoyance, such as a
loud party at the next door neighbor's back yard four or
five times a week. This becomes an incompatible
situation.
Mr. Van Houten suggested three possible solutions,
all being somewhat difficult:
1. Relocate ball park;
.
2.
Enclose the entire park;
3. Put a canopy over the spectator's area, to buffer
the amplified music and announcements.
Mr. Van Houten answered questions.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Reilly and unanimously carried, to accept
the report entitled "Noise Assessment Study of 'Spirit'
Baseball Games", submitted by J. J. Van Houten and Asso-
ciates, Inc.

BERNARDINO AUTHORIZING TO PURCHASE UP TO

.
23
3/21/88
.
Police Chief Burnett explained that the Police De-
partment had to purchase 15 new vehicles to replace exist-
ing patrol vehicles. The low bid was given for the Dodge
Diplomat, but the Police Department prefers the Ford Crown
Victoria. The difference in price for the 15 vehicles is
$29,758.
Chief Burnett explained that the preference for the
Ford is because it is a superior vehicle in both construc-
tion and safety features, especially in the front end
performance. He stated that over the life of the ve-
hicles, maintenance costs would be less, it would be in
service longer, and the trade-in value would be greater.
Lt. Tom Maier, Police Department, stated he had been
to the trials of these vehicles at the Los Angeles Sheriff
Department's Emergency Vehicle Course and observed the
superior performance of the Ford Crown Victoria. He also
confirmed that maintenance costs would be less for the
Ford and there would be less "down time".
.
Chief Burnett also explained that the Ford has a
larger interior, which provides greater comfort for the
officers, and would also provide space for mobile digital
terminals. The addition of these would prevent scanning
and save dispatcher time.
City Administrator Schweitzer answered questions,
stating that there are 15 police vehicles being stored at
the City yards waiting to be put into service, and stated
this is done on an "as needed" basis. He also stated that
toe tires are not damaged during the storage period.
Chief Burnett explained that police vehicles are only
produced at the factories once a year, and it is necessary
to make a decision at this time in order to get the City's
order in before the deadline. The new vehicles would be
delivered in July or August, and held at the City Yards
until needed to replace older models.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Reilly, that said resolution be adopted.
Resolution No. 88-98 was adopted by the following

Roger DeFratis, Assistant Director of Personnel,
answered questions, and explained the advantages of en-
dorsing a preferred provider, as the City would have to
pay administrative costs if this were not done. He also
stated that John Hancock Insurance Company had checked on
the finances and ratings of all the hospitals in the area
and St. Bernardine was the only one with which they wanted
to deal. Mr. DeFratis explained that the City receives a
discount from St. Bernardine Hospital if the City recom-
mends it.

sion was held regarding General Obligation
Bonds and the relationship of projects that

approximately one billion going into trans-
portation. He recommended a letter go to
state representatives from our public of-
ficials. Councilwoman Estrada will send a

tion regarding the formula to be used in

or the cost of street improvements which-
ever was highest. The letter of alterna-
tives presented by staff are attached.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, answered questions, stating that the alternatives
were as follows:
1. Reduce the fee for commercial and industrial
developments from $12.00 to $6.00;
2. Eliminate the fee for commercial and indus-
trial developments;
3. Apply the systems fee as a credit against the
cost of any required traffic improvements to mitigate
identified environmental concerns.

Council Member Reilly and unanimously carried, that the
minutes of the Ways and Means Committee meeting held March
14, 1988, be received and filed.

REQUEST TO QUITCLAIM - REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY -
ARMY AND NAVY RESERVES - CONTINUED FROM
MARCH 7, 1988
This is the time and place continued to for consider-
ation of a request from Norsa, Inc., that portions of
Parcel Nos. 1 and 8 of Parcel Map No. 7140 be quitclaimed
to the Redevelopment Agency, so that they can be covered
by a disposition agreement relating to the development of
a mini storage facility. These parcels are leased by the
Army and Navy Reserves, but quitclaiming these requested
portions will not adversely affect the lessee's use of
these properties. (35)
Planning Director Siracusa explained that these two
parcels are zoned "0" Open Space and would have to be
changed to either M-l or C-M zone for a mini storage and
implemented by Conditional Use Permit only.
.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the
request from Norsa, Inc., for the City to quitclaim a
portion of Parcels No. 1 & 8 of Parcel Map No. 7140 to the
Redevelopment Agency, be denied.

.
1. Transit Terminal/Parking Facility Feas-
ibill!~~tu~y - After considerable discus-
sion pro and con and a determination that a
public hearing would be required, the Com-
mittee requested a continuation of the
meeting to March 28, 1988. In the interim,
Glenda Saul from RDA and Wes McDaniel from
SANBAG will define specific issues and
questions regarding security, location,
funding, whether both a terminal and park-
ing structure are to be considered, main-
tenance and operation of a facility. Chair-
woman Pope-Ludlam requested a trip be ar-
ranged so she can visit the Santa Ana and
30

.
Long Beach facilities. She also emphasized
the moving of this total issue within six
months.
The Mayor and Council discussed the proposed transit
terminal and the use of the $2,000,000 seed money. It was
pointed out that the transit terminal should be located in
a central location for transfer to other points. It was
also stated that Omnitrans transports more passengers to
the Central City Mall than any other destination.
Mayor wilcox stated that it was her understanding
that the monies don't have to go for a transit terminal,
but that they can be used for other transit need, such as
bus stops in the downtown area.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Flores and unanimously carried, that the
minutes of the Council Transportation Committee meeting
held March 14, 1988, be received and filed.
COUNCIL MEMBER ESTRADA RETURNED

ing and took her place at the Council Table.

AUTHORIZE DEVELOPMENT OF APPLICATION FOR CITY'S
FY 1988 EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANT PROGRAM ALLOCATION
In a memorandum dated March 15, 1988, Ken Henderson,
Director, Community Development Department, stated that
the City had received a notice from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which indicated that
the City had been allocated $5,000 for FY 1988 to provide
certain types of assistance to the homeless. The City is
required to match the funds. Prior to receiving the
funds, the City must submit an application to HUD with
various documents, including certification of consistency
with the City's approved Comprehensive Homeless Plan
(CHAP). (S-l)
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, to auth-
orize and direct the Mayor and staff to develop and submit
to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

REQUEST TO DISCUSS LEGAL OPINION TO COUNCIL
MEMBER POPE-LUDLAM - LEGAL FEES - BLACK
HISTORY PARADE INCIDENT - ROLE OF COUNCIL
MEMBER
In a memorandum dated March 16, 1988, Council Member
Estrada requested a discussion on the opinion rendered on
March 15, 1988, to Councilwoman Pope-Ludlam from City At-
torney Penman regarding legal fees representation and the
Black History Parade incident. (S-2)
City Attorney Penman answered questions and explained
the role of elected public officials, as set forth in
opinions dated March 15, 1988, March 18, 1988, and an
opinion dated June 2,1972, by former City Attorney
Prince. He stated that from the time a Council Member is
sworn in until he/she leaves office, that person is a
Council Member. However, there is a distinction of being
a Council Member and acting in the official capacity of a
Council Member. A Council Member could be invited to a
public function because of his/her role as Council Member,
but that does not give the authority to act in an official
capacity as a Council Member at that function.
.
Mr. Penman explained that the Charter and state law
give authority to the Mayor and Common Council as an en-
tity, not to individual Council Members.
Mr. Penman stated that Council Members have the same
authority as ordinary citizens when not acting in the
official capacity as a part of the Common Council. He
agreed that the general population perceives elected of-
ficials as having more power and influence than is actu-
ally the case.
No official action was taken.
COUNCIL MEMBER POPE-LUDLAM EXCUSED
Council Member Pope-Ludlam left the Council Meeting.
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY'S HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
PLAN
In a memorandum dated March 18, 1988, the Legislative
Review Committee presented a comprehensive report on the
Hazardous Waste Management Plan as prepared by Ann Sira-
cusa, Director of Planning, and Tricia D. Thrasher, Plan-
ner I. (S-7)
.
The report outlined the State law requirement for a
Hazardous Waste Management Plan, and stated that the pub-
lic comment and review period for the draft ends March 31,
1988. The final version of the Hazardous Waste Management
Plan will come before the Mayor and Council for approval
between July 1, and September 30, 1988.

.
Ann Siracusa, Planning Director, answered questions,
explaining that a Mayor and Common Council workshop had
been conducted regarding the proposed Hazardous Waste
Management Plan, with a member of San Bernardino County
staff presenting the plan. Since that time, staff members
from the Fire Department, Public Services and Planning met
with the Legislative Review Committee and set forth com-
ments to be included in the plan. Ms. Siracusa pointed
out that the City's approval of the plan would depend on
the inclusion of the City's comments.
Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the
recommendation for a Hazardous Waste Management Plan co-
ordinated and reviewed by City staff and the Legislative
Review Committee, be approved and forwarded to San Bernar-
dino County with the understanding that the recommenda-
tions are to be included in the County Plan, then returned
to the City for review and approval; and that the City of
San Bernardino establish and adopt, as soon as possible,
through the Legislative Review process, a hazardous waste
management plan for implementation by City departments.

ings, development agreements, tax increments, tax assess-

mits, grants, employment opportunities, notices of prepar-
ation or emergency impact reports and negative declara-
tions, plans for residential facilities, plans for re-

tions) .
The above information will be provided to the Advis-
ory Committee, but not more than once per month, unless
agreed to by the Director of the Agency and/or Planning
Department. All Advisory Committee recommendations can be
made to the Agency, Redevelopment Committee, Agency Board
of Directors, Planning Commission and/or City Council.
All recommendations by the Advisory Committees shall
be made prior to a decision made by the above decision-
making bodies."
.
Harry Jacks, a member of the Northwest Project Proj-
ect Area PAC, requested that the PAC be provided with

ing the Northwest Project Area PAC elections and added

Northwest Project Area input.

PAC, presented concerns regarding the election of officers
for the PAC and conflicts between the Police Department
and the Council Member from the Sixth Ward. She also
requested that planners attend all PAC meetings.

PAC was responsible. The PAC has a budget, but no one
oversees the operations of the PAC. He stated they have
been in existence for three years and have produced
nothing.
Mr. Clemons stated that he was involved in the selec-
tion of Alexander Haagen development of the new shopping
center, but stated that somehow down the line the PAC had
lost contact with the City and the Redevelopment Agency
and would like to reestablish it.

story senior citizen center in the Sixth Ward.

Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Estrada and unanimously carried, that the
