APPEAL HEARING - BOARD OF BUILDING COMMISSIONERS'
ORDER OF ABATEMENT - 832 E. SAN JACINTO STREET -
JAMES C. STUMP
This is the time and place set to consider an appeal
filed by James C. Stump on the Board of Building Commis-
sioners' order of abatement on property located at 832 E.
San Jacinto Street. (18)
Mayor wilcox opened the hearing.
.
Mark Sutton, Director of Building & Safety, stated
that the property located at 832 E. San Jacinto has been a
problem since 1977. The property has been open and vacant
for more than 180 days and has lost its right to a resi-
dential designation. The property reverted to commercial
zoning and under the Code, rehabilitation of a residential
to commercial structure is not legal. Mr. Sutton recom-
mended that the property be demolished and that all the
costs be assessed against the property in the form of a
lien.
Mr. James C. Stump, owner of the property at 823 San
Jacinto, was present and requested that the property not
be demolished. He explained that there have been problems
with the property regarding an agreement with the lien
holder and that he had been ordered off the property by
the Marshal's Office and had been unable to complete re-
pairs. Permits he had to do the work have since expired.
Mr. Stump stated that he hopes to rehabilitate the prop-
erty and use it for an office for his business.
Mark Sutton, Director of Building & Safety, stated
that the permits were issued in 1981 and have expired. He
explained that the property could not be rehabilitated
unless it went through a variance process, because the
designated use is no longer residential.
.

.
Mr. Sutton stated he was not aware of the Marshal's
claim, but that the property is in foreclosure.
City Attorney Penman answered questions regarding a
lien on the property. He also stated that the question of
rehabilitation seems to be moot, as the zoning does not
permit the rehabilitation of the property.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Pope-Ludlam and unanimously carried, that
the public hearing regarding the demolition of property at
823 San Jacinto be continued to this afternoon, in the
Council Chambers of City Hall, 300 North "D" Street, San
Bernardino, California. (See page 40)

neer, explained that the entire 20' alley would be vacat-
ed, and the property would revert to the original property
owners on the east of the alley. Mrs. Satterfield and
other property owners to the west of the alley would
receive none of the property.
Mrs. Satterfield expressed concern regarding vehicu-
lar accessibility to a house on the back of her property
which can be reached only through the alley.
Mr. Hardgrave suggested that an easement could be
reserved which would provide access to her property. If
this alternative is desired, he stated that the resolution
would have to be reworked to provide the necessary lang-
uage.
Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Estrada and unanimously carried, that the
protest hearing regarding the vacation of the alley be-
tween 16th and Evans Street, west of Mt. Vernon be con-
tinued to this afternoon, in the Council Chambers of City
Hall, 300 North "D" Street, San Bernardino, California.

PUBLIC HEARING - SAAB VS. THE CITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO, SUPERIOR CASE NO. 234561 - SCHOOL
IMPACTION FEES - CONTINUED FROM APRIL 4, 1988
This is the time and place continued to for a public
hearing to discuss the case of Saab vs. the City of San
Bernardino, Superior Case No. 234561, regarding school
impaction fees. This subject was previously referred to
as Landtech, Inc. and Plaza Development, regarding an
apartment development called Sunpointe Village. (22)
Mayor wilcox opened the hearing and deferred to
Deputy City Attorney Wilson to proceed with the hearing.
.
Mr. Frank Ayala, Administrator for the San Bernardino
City Unified School District, stated that it was his
understanding that charges had been levied against the
District, stating that the District had collected money
for profit for a complex that was basically a senior citi-
zens complex where there were no children. He stated that
there were several children living in that complex.
He further stated that the complex is rentable to all
young couples with children. He explained that Bradley
Elementary School is the area and has two portable class-
rooms to accommodate the growth. He stated that the
District collected the money from that complex and used it
in good faith to benefit the children in this School Dis-
tr ict.
Attorney Gary Smith, representing the company form-
erly known as Landtech, now Saab, stated he had been
corrected previously that there are two or three children
living there, and apologized for the misunderstanding.
Mr. Smith stated that the question before the Council
is whether Saab (Landtech) had adequate notice in how to
comply with the resolution. He referred to the Court's
Statement of Decision, which after having reviewed all the
documentation from 20 hours of meetings made it fairly
clear. He stated that tapes were available. He referred
to past correspondence from former City Attorney Prince in
which there was no definition of the language - only an
opinion as to what that language meant.
.
18
4/18/88
.
Mr. Smith referred to another case which was involved
in requesting exemption from the school impaction fees. He
stated that Mr. Barmakian, the applicant, had paid a fee,
which was the only difference in the bank's commitment in
an unsigned letter.
Mr Smith stated that the bank always reserves the
right to make changes at the last moment, and this does
not mean that they are equivocating in their desire to
make a loan.
He stated that the sole issue before the Council is
whether, at the time of their application, that the reso-
lution was so clear that it was understood by all that had
to make application pursuant to the provisions of the
resolution or those who had to decide the application for
exemption was appropriate. He stated he didn't think
anyone can honestly say that anybody knew what was going
on.
.
Mr. Smith stated that the resolution itself doesn't
provide for the City Schools to have any input as far as
making application. The language is very unclear. He
stated they were told their letter was not sufficiently
unequivocal, because the last sentence in the letter said
the bank reserved the right to make changes, additions,
deletions, or corrections. He stated that their letter
was signed - Mr. Barmakian's was not. He repeated that
the real question is: "Did we have notice as to what we
were to do in order to apply?" He stated that it had
taken the City two years to pass the resolution and to
refine the language.
City Attorney John Wilson stated that unless the
Council had any further questions of the witness or other
parties, that the hearing be closed and that the proposed
Findings of Fact as presented by the City Attorney's Of-
fice be adopted, in which the following conclusions were
set forth:
1) There was proper notice to LANDTECH as to what
the terms and conditions were to qualify it for exemption
under Resolution 85-337, Subsection 9(J) at the time it
made, or could have made, application for such exemption.
2) LANDTECH at all times had appropriate notice as
to the meaning of the terms and conditions "verified",
"firm commitment", "in place" and "recorded", and that
such notice was at all times consistent with the use of
such terms as set forth in Resolution No. 85-337.
.
19
4/18/88
.
3) The letter from Nevada National Bank dated Sep-
tember 13, 1985, did not constitute such verified, firm
commitment for financing, in place as of September 18,
1985, as to support a grant of exemption under Subsection
9(J) of Resolution No. 85-337."
Deputy City Attorney Wilson answered questions, stat-
ing that the Council is being asked to adopt these find-
ings and also to determine that the exemption is denied
because the party would not qualify for the exemption.
Deputy City Attorney Wilson answered questions, stat-
ing that the Court had already made a determination as to
the case regarding Mr. Barmakian and that the determina-
tion in that case has nothing to do with this case. He
stated that the decision to be made today is basically
whether the application for exemption from the School
Impaction Fee by Landtech was backed by a commitment sub-
ject to review and approval by Lender's Sr. Loan Committee
at Lender's sole discretion. It was determinated at that
time and continues to be, that there was not such commit-
ment to lend the money.
.
Gary Smith, representing Saab, stated that the real
issue is whether everyone had the same notice, and knew
how to make an application, and that the definition was
clear regarding a verified firm commitment being in place
and recorded as set forth in Resolution 87-134. This reso-
lution was adopted by the Mayor and Common Council two
years after Resolution 85-337
Deputy City Attorney Wilson stated that Landtech was
given specific notice that the document did not qualify
for the exemption because of the equivocating language. He
stated they had spoken to their banker, and to their at-
torney and banker at the same time and informed them a
firmer commitment was needed. They refused. The ques-
tion came down to did Landtech qualify for the exemption.
He stated that it did not.
The Mayor and Council discussed all the background of
their previous action and the intent of the bank on the
commitment to make the loan to Landtech.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Pope-Ludlam and unanimously carried, that
the hearing be closed.
Deputy City Attorney Wilson stated that adoption of
Finding No. 3 in essence makes the determination that the
exemption was denied.
.
20
4/18/88
.
City Attorney Penman stated that the Council could
move to adopt the Findings of Fact regarding the exemption
from School Impaction Fees that have been prepared by the
City Attorney's Office. He stated that in adopting the
Findings of Fact, the Council was not making the decision
regarding denying the exemption, but making the decision
of what the definition was basically, and looking at each
of those facts.
Deputy City Attorney
ings were adopted, this
Council again.

issue would not come to the

WORKSHOP - SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER -
RELOCATION - FACILITIES MASTER PLAN - REQUEST TO
USE PARK PROPERTY AT ARDEN AND PACIFIC
This is the time and place heretofore set to hear a
request from the County of San Bernardino for the use of
City park land located at Arden and Pacific Streets. The
San Bernardino County Medical Center is looking for a
relocation site and their first choice is at Arden Avenue
and Pacific Street. (43)
Charles (Chuck) Jervis, Medical Center Director,
presented a project costs summary for the Arden Avenue and
Pacific Street site, along with an Executive Summary:
Facility Program and Master Plan prepared by Stone, Mar-
raccini and Patterson, Architects and Planners; and
Coopers and Lybrand, Health Consultants.
.
The study, which began in May, 1986, is the result of
recommendations made in 1978 by Booz-Allen-Hamilton, and
substantiated in 1982 by Arthur Anderson and Company, that
the Medical Center needed to be replaced. Increases in
population, resultant increases in volumes of service, and
a physical plant unable to economically and safely meet
the demand due to fragmentation of facilities and serious
seismic deficiencies prompted this recommendation.
In the study, five sites were evaluated: The present
site at Gilbert street; City-owned property located at the
northeast corner of Arden and Pacific; the southwest cor-
ner of Boulder and Base Line; property in the Tri-City
area; and property at Ninth and Tippecanoe.
From a marketing and civil engineering perspective,
two sites were recommended to the Board: the present site
and the City-owned site. Due to cost savings, the pre-
ferred site was the land owned by the City.
The County spent $250,000 in coring the site at Arden
and Pacific and determined it to be seismically safe.
Members of the Council expressed their surprise that
they had not been approached by the County prior to this
meeting to discuss their interest in the City site.
.

4/18/88
.
Rhoda Fox, Parks and Recreation Commissioner, sug-
gested that the hospital representatives look at the park
and ride lot located south of Highland Avenue, east of
Victoria as a possible relocation site.
Harry Mays, County Administrator, expressed his dis-
satisfaction with that site and suggested a trade-off:
the park and ride lot for a park and the park site for the
hospital.
Annie Ramos, Director of Parks, Recreation & Commun-
ity Services, spoke regarding the conditions imposed by
the State for park development of the Arden and Pacific
site.
Charles (Chuck) Jervis and Harry Mays stated that
they had been in contact with state legislators concerning
the Arden/Pacific site.
Chuck Jervis answered questions regarding the pro-
posed use of the present site on Gilbert if it were va-
cated. He suggested a life-care facility and low cost
housing units for existing facilities. He also stated
that there would be no changes to the Juvenile Hall facil-
ities in the area.
.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Miller and unanimously carried, that a
committee chaired by Council Member Miller and also com-
posed of Council Members Maudsley and Reilly be formed for
the purpose of meeting with County representatives con-
cerning the request to relocate County Medical Center at
Arden and Pacific Streets, and also, that the committee

for approximately 40 years and is attempting to re-orient
its business activity from retail to wholesale. To do

oping an overall plan of action relating to the proposed
expansion. Because of cash-flow problems associated with
expanding businesses, Julia's is requesting additional
assistance in the amount of $3,500 to finance the study as

APPEAL HEARING - BOARD OF BUILDING COMMISSIONS'
ORDER OF ABATEMENT - 832 E. SAN JACINTO STREET -
JAMES C. STUMP - CONTINUED FROM EARLIER IN THE
MEETING (See page 13)
This is the time and place continued to for consider-
ation of an appeal filed by James C. Stump on the Board of
Building Commissioner's decision of abatement on property
located at 832 E. San Jacinto Street. (18)
.
City Attorney Penman explained provisions of Revenue
& Taxation Code Section 2192.1 regarding the priority of
taxes. He stated that Sr. Assistant City Attorney Barlow
had consulted with Mr. Norm Hanover, a bankruptcy attor-
ney, and it was determined that a bankruptcy court would
follow state law, and a lien for demolition would have
priority over the mortgage or deeds of trust. He stated
he had been informed that the property in question is in
foreclosure, but didn't know the actual status. Mr. Pen-
man stated the City would be right behind the IRS and the
State Franchise Tax Board for payment of the lien.
Mr. Penman stated that the difficulty with any re-
habilitation of the property is that the zoning will not
permit Mr. Stump to do what he wants to do without the
granting of a variance.
City Clerk suggested that a general lien be imposed
which would apply to any property within the City owned by
Mr. Stump, and would guarantee that the City receives its
money.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, to close
the hearing, uphold the Board of Building Commissioner's
decision for demolition, and that the City Attorney inves-
tigate placement of a general lien on the properties.

PROPOSED FORMATION OF MOJAVE COUNTY - JUNE 7, 1988 -
BALLOT - SAN BERNARDINO AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
PRESENTATION
In a letter dated March 21, 1988, addressed to Mayor
Wilcox, Gill Snyder, President of the San Bernardino Area
Chamber of Commerce, stated that the Board of Directors of
the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce voted unani-
mously on March 18, 1988, to oppose Measure A, the pro-
posed formation of Mojave County on the June 7, 1988,
ballot. The reasons listed for this decision are as
follows: (49)
1. San Bernardino would be reduced from the largest
county in area in the United States to the second smallest
in Southern California.
2. The proposed Mojave County would take 90 percent
of the mass; 17% of the population; and 19.95% of the
assessed value.
3. San Bernardino County would be giving away the
desert area just as it is beginning to pay its own way. It
is an area of enormous growth potential and possibilities
for the future.
4. Law enforcement and fire service levels would
suffer in both counties if Mojave secedes.
Gill Snyder, President, San Bernardino Area Chamber
of Commerce, spoke in opposition to the formation of Mo-
jave County and urged the Council to endorse this point of
view.

Jim Smith, Chairman of the Political Action Committee
for the Chamber, spoke in opposition to the formation of
the new Mojave County, stating that the division of the
county could create an under-financed law enforcement
effort in a neighboring county.
Nelda Smith from Wrightwood, Coordinator of the "No
on Mojave County Committee" asked that the Council take
t~e position of opposing the formation of the new county.
She stated she felt it would be economically unfeasible
for the new county and would greatly diminish San Bernar-
dino County.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Flores and unanimously carried, that the
Council oppose Measure "A", the Proposed Formation of
Mojave County on the June 7, 1988 ballot.
COUNCIL MEMBER ESTRADA RETURNED
Council Member Estrada returned to the Council Meet-
ing and took her place at the Council Table.
.
City Attorney Penman stated that the Council could
direct that a resolution be prepared authorizing the Mayor
to sign an appropriate resolution that could be trans-
mitted wherever necessary. Otherwise, the matter would
have to be considered at the first meeting in May. (May
2, 1988)
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that a
resolution be prepared authorizing the Mayor to sign an
appropriate resolution in opposition to the formation of
Mojave County.
