PUBLIC HEARING - ANNUAL PAYBACK ARRANGEMENT FOR
PARKING DISTRICT SECONDARY ASSESSMENT ROLL
This is the time and place set for a public hearing
to consider an annual payback arrangement established for
parking district secondary assessment roll. (15)
.
In an undated report, George Webster, Chairman, Cen-
tral City Parking Place Commission, stated that on March
31, 1988, the Central City Parking Place Commission had
discussed the issue of the accelerated repayment schedule
for the Parking District Secondary Assessment Roll. He
explained that in 1979, the City loaned the Parking Dis-
trict approximately $800,000 to fund an expansion project
which created 383 additional parking spaces in the down-
town parking district lots. The loan was to be repaid
through an additional property assessment of approximately
30% of the 1978 primary assessment roll which amounted to
$30,300 annually. This assessment has been collected
since 1979.
On November 16, 1987, the City Council revised the
repayment schedule in order to retire the outstanding
portion of the loan in seven years through an increase in
the secondary assessment with an interest rate of 9% on
the unpaid balance. They further directed that all the
interest lncome generated on the unpaid balance be re-
served in a capital improvement development account which
would be reserved to fund future parking needs of the
downtown community.
The impact of this action would be an increase in
the secondary assessment for all owners of real property
in the parking district of approximately three times the
1986 rate.
.

5/2/88
.
Mr. Webster sta ted tha t cer ta in member s of the Com-
mission, as well as other owners of real property in the
parking district have expressed concern over the acceler-
ated repayment schedule.
Mayor Wilcox opened the hearing.
Deputy City Clerk Reese stated that a written protest
had been received from H. Frank Dominguez, President,
vanir Group of Companies, Inc.
In the letter dated April 28, 1988, Ms. Dominguez
stated that the increase in the assessment is an unfair
burden to the property owners of downtown property, and
requested that the Council revise their action to require
the repayment of the loan to the Parking District in
seven years
George Webster, Chairman of the Central City Parking
Place Commission, thanked the Council for the opportunity
of making a presentation, and introduced Mr. Erven Tall-
man.
.
Mr. Erven Tallman, Inland Empire Properties, Ltd.,
215 North "0" Street, read a prepared statement. He
stated that his secondary tax assessment would go from
$273.85 per year to $821.55 per year on a seven year ac-
celerated basis. Mr. Tallman also stated that this extra
payment was not budgeted, and with a high vacancy factor
in his building at 215 North "0" Street, this becomes a
financial burden.
COUNCIL MEMBER MILLER ARRIVED
At 10: 24 a.m., Council Member Miller arrived at the
Council Meeting and took her place at the Council Table.
Mr. Daniel Perlmutter, with DMP Properties, owner of
the Central City Plaza Shopping Center, which houses the
Stater Brothers Market and other businesses, stated that
they have lost seven tenants in the past three years be-
cause of financial reasons as a result of the high tax
bill. Mr. Perlmutter complained about the taxes of over
$70,000 annually, which he considers an excessive tax
burden. These costs are passed on to the tenants. He
requested that the Council reconsider their decision to
increase the assessment, as he felt that tenants could not
be asked to pay higher taxes.
.
14
5/2/88
.
City Attorney Penman stated that the assessment being
considered is legally neither tax nor fee, and is not
subject to Proposition 13.
Wallace Green, Central City Company, Central City
Mall, stated he had been involved with the Central City
Parking Place Commission and the Parking District. He
stated that if the Mayor and Council do not rescind their
action of November 1987, regarding the secondary assess-
ment roll, he strongly urged that the public hearing be
continued to give the lessees, as well as the property
owners within the area, the opportunity to be heard.
COUNCIL MEMBER MILLER - CONFLICT OF INTEREST -
EXCUSED
Council Member Miller stated she may have a conflict
of interest in this matter and left the Council Meeting.
Art Lindholm, Valley Auto Supply, 441 West 5th
Street, stated they have 34 parking spaces on which they
pay tax and for which they get credit in the calculation
of the tax. He stated that even after that deduction, the
amount they are paying for the parking district assessment
is 43% of the tax bill.
.
C. Dale Jenks, representing the California Theater
and civic Light Opera, stated he had no knowledge of the
proposed secondary assessment roll until after the fact.
He questioned what caused the decision to change the per-
iod of 20-25 years to seven years in which to repay the
funds, and what the interest rate was on the loan at that
time.
Fred Wilson, Assistant to the City Administrator,
answered questions, stating that in 1979 when the parking
expansion took place, the intent was to obtain a commer-
cial loan to repay the General Fund monies that were
loaned to the Redevelopment Agency. However, interest
rates were so high that a decision was made not to take
out the loan. The Engineer's report specified that the
assessment would be repaid at a rate of $30,300 per year,
with no real term specified in the contract.
That amount was collected until 1987, and those funds
were kept in the Parking District fund balance. The City
Council then determined to set up terms to repay the loan
in a set period of time. The Ways and Means Committee
considered this issue and determined the loan shall be
paid in a seven year period rather that the 25 year
period.

George Webster, Chairman of the Central Parking Place
Commission, answered questions, stating that this matter
was heard at the meeting of March 31, 1988, and concern
was expressed over the accelerated repayment schedule. He
thought the matter should be deferred to another time so
that the Council and the Commission could get a more com-
prehensive study.
Fred Wilson, Assistant to the City Administrator,
stated that the Central City Parking Place Commission was
never asked for a formal recommendation during the dis-
cussions in November, 1987.
Mr. C. Dale Jenks commented on the parking problem in
the downtown area and the desire to improve the area. He
stated that additional costs would be a strain on Civic
Light Opera, and they would have to pass the additional
costs on to some of their other tenants.
It was pointed out that the Central City
Place Commission had not been involved in the
discussions and that property owners had not been
of the original hearing in November, 1987.

.
City Attorney Penman stated that under the circum-
stances in this matter, no notice is required. He recom-
mended that if notification to property owners and busi-
ness owners is given in this instance, that it be based
upon a resolution or ordinance and that the Council be
consistent and provide the same kind of notice in every
other case in order to avoid a challenge in Court.
Mayor Wilcox stated that because of the importance of
the revitalization of the downtown area, she recommended
the matter be referred back to the Ways and Means Commit-
tee and notification given to the Central City Parking
Place Commission and downtown property owners, as well as
business owners, for input.
Verne Nadeau, Sr. Real Property Specialist, stated
that if this matter is continued, he would need direction
from the Council, as there is a deadline of July 1, 1988,
for the assessment to be prepared for the County tax
rolls.
Ann Harris, Main Street Project, stated they could
take the responsibility of notifying the merchants.
.
Dorene Dominguez, representing Vanir Development Co.,
and also a member of the Central City Parking Place Com-
mission and Main Street, stated that the common goal is

the success of San Bernardino, and that the downtown area
is the key area. The po int is:" Can the property owners
pay this assessment?" She stated that many property own-
ers are leaving the downtown area because business is not
doing well.
Mrs. Hugo Blum sta ted she agreed wi th the prev ious
speaker that the proposed assessment is an unfair tax.
Harold Hoffman, owner of property on the west side of
"E" Street between Fourth and Fifth Streets, stated he had
been active in the formation of the the Parking District
and the Central City Advisory Board. He stated he was
opposed to asking the business owners to pay more when
they have not experienced growth in sales. He also stated
they had not had the advantage of being in a Redevelopment
Area.
Fred Wilson, Assistant to the City Administrator,
answered questions regarding the Finance Department's

APPEAL ON PLANNING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 87-28 - REMODEL
ABANDONED, NON-CONFORMING OFF-PREMISE SIGN -
QUALITY INN - CAMINO REAL NORTH OF FAIRWAY DRIVE
This is the time and place set to consider an appeal
filed by Naomi Silvergleid of Singer & Silvergleid, Inc.
for owner J.H.M. California Inc., dba Quality Inn, on the
Planning Commission's denial of Conditional Use Permit No.
87-28, to remodel an abandoned, non-conforming off-premise
s1gn, and to deviate from the required setbacks from a
public right-of-way and a freeway right-of-way and to
increase the height from 24 feet to a height of 42 feet
which exceeds the maximum allowed height of an off-premise
sign which is 32 feet. The sign in question is located on
the west side of Camino Real approximately 535 feet north
of Fairway Drive in the C-3A Zone, which is a vacant par-
cel adjoining the parcel on which the Quality Inn is lo-
cated. (36)
Mayor Pro Tempore Flores opened the hearing.
.
Planning Director Siracusa presented the background
of the appeal, stating that the original sign was approved
in the early 1970's to aid travelers with direction to the
motel (then Holiday Inn). The property was later pur-
21
5/2/88
.
chased by Quality Inn. The name of the motel was removed,
but the directions remained on the two faces of the
signs, but the sign did not say where the direction led
to. After a period of 180 days, the off-premise sign
became legally "abandoned". The pole of the sign has
"telescoped", so is 24 feet in height now, as compared
with the original height of 42 feet.
Ms.
Building

Siracusa stated that the sign was inspected by
& Safety Code Compliance Officer Don Hesterly and
be unsafe.
MAYOR WILCOX ARRIVED
At 2: 15 p.m., Mayor wilcox arrived at the Council
Meeting and took her place at the Council Table.
.
Ed Shawley, Director of Operations for J. H. Enter-
prises, owner of Quality Inn, and also acting Manager,
stated he felt that the sign had not been abandoned, and
explained that the property had been in litigation for
some time and had changed ownership several times. J. H.
Enterprises is requesting to restore the sign as it was
originally erected by Holiday Inn. Because of the loca-
tion of the motel, it is difficult for visitors to get
there without assistance from a directional sign and clar-
ification as to the name of the facility.
Mr. Shawley stated there is another sign in front of
the motel with a reader board, but it is too small to put
the directional information on it.
Mr. Shawley answered questions, stating they are not
asking to move the sign, only to restore it and maintain
it with the original surface area.
Naomi Silvergleid, attorney with Silvergleid and
Singer, described the sign in question, stating that it is
a two-faced sign giving directions as to how to reach the
motel, which differ as you approach from the north or
south. The signs were deemed necessary originally, be-
cause of the lack of access from the freeway. That condi-
tion has not changed, thus making the sign and directions
extremely important. She stated they were not asking for
anything new or different - just to repaint and maintain
the sign at the original height. It was her opinion that
granting the appeal would not be setting a precedent, as
the sign has been there since the early 70' s, and her
clients are asking only to maintain the sign in its origi-
nal condition.

APPEAL - PLANNING COMMISSION'S AND DEVELOPMENT
REVIEW COMMITTEE'S DENIAL OF REVIEW OF PLANS
NO. 88-6 - USE OF METAL BUILDING IN CENTRAL
CITY SOUTH OVERLAY STUDY AREA
This is the time and place set for an appeal filed by
Jim Pence, President, Penco Building, Inc., on the Plan-
ning Commission's and Development Review Committee's deni-
al of Review of Plans No. 88-6 to reconsider the prohibi-
tion of the use of metal building materials in the Design
Guidelines adopted for the Central City South Overlay
Study Area. The address of the property in question is 420
South "E" Street. (37)
Mayor Wilcox opened the hearing.
Planning Director Siracusa explained that the appli-
cant is asking for an exception to the Design Guidelines
of Central City South Overlay District. The Review of
Plans are for the construction of an addition to an exist-
ing metal warehouse at 420 South E Street. The proposed
addition is predominately metal to blend with the existing
building. The Central City South Overlay District incor-
porates guidelines which prohibit metal buildings, but
also allows for exceptions which may be approved by the
Council. This project was denied by the Development Re-
view Committee because of the inconsistency with the
Guidelines and by the Planning Commission because they
were not in the position to grant the exception.
.
Ms. Siracusa stated that the item was reviewed by the
Redevelopment Committee and the Committee felt the excep-
tion was something that could be granted. Exceptions to
the Guidelines may be granted by the Council based on the
following criteria:
23
5/2/88
.
1. The exception is needed in order to realize the
design concept of the development;
2. The exception must produce important public ben-
efits, such as adding variety, humor and delight
while not detracting from the cohesiveness and quality of
the area.
3. The exception to the sign standard may be granted
if the variance allows the sign to substantially contri-
bute to the identity, interest and uniqueness of the study
area.
DeWayne Bridges of Penco Builders, applicant and
builder of the proposed building, explained that they want
to carryon with what has already been built. To change
the type of construction would take away esthetically from
what is already there.
.
Mr. Bridges and Mr. Lauren Walters, President of
Stockwell and Binney, displayed and explained a rendering
of the existing building plus what is proposed. The new
building is connected to the existing warehouse, which is
an all metal building. Mr. Bridges stated that stucco
panels will be used on the exterior of the building for
esthetic purposes. He further explained where the land-
scaping will be and that there are other metal buildings
in the area. The new building will be about 100 feet from
the street.
Planning Director Siracusa answered questions, stat-
ing that the landscaping more than meets the requirements
Deputy City Attorney Grace answered questions, stat-
ing that an exception could be made pursuant to Criteria
No. 1.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Flores and unanimously carried, to close
the public hearing.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Flores and unanimously carr ied, to grant
the appeal, subject to the following findings:
1. The building plans have been submitted which add
decorative building materials replacing a large portion of
the metal building structure.
.
2. The setback of the building from "E" Street sub-
stantially exceeds that of ordinance requirements.
24
5/2/88
.
3. The attempt has been made to substantially blend
the new addition to the present metal structure.
4. Landscaping area meets or exceeds ordinance re-
quirements.
5. Metal buildings do exist in the general area of
the site and the fencing along the north property line has
been deleted and landscaping is being substituted.
Deputy City Attorney Grace answered questions about
authority to make modifications to the Central City South
Overlay Guidelines and recommended that they be amended
for clarification.
Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Minor and unanimously carried, that the
City Attorney be directed to prepare an amendment to the
Guidelines of the Central City Overlay Zone to require
Planning Commission review and recommendations, subject to
Council approval.

THEREOF . "; AND CONVERT ING THIRTY -N INE
PARKING SPACES IN PARKING DISTRICT LOT NO.
1 FROM A TWO-HOUR TO TWENTY-FOUR HOUR PARK-
ING. (23)
.
In a memorandum dated April 7, 1988, Fred Wilson,
Assistant to the City Administrator, referred to a request
by the Vanir Development Company on behalf of their
tenant, County of San Bernardino Department of Public
Social Services (DPSS), to remove the two-hour time
restriction for 39 spaces in Parking District Lot #1
adjacent to the Central City Building, 494 North "E"
Street. It was indicated that the two hour parking
restriction caused problems for clients because the appli-
cation process generally took more than two hours and, as
a result, the clients were forced to leave the building to
move their vehicles or have parking fines imposed upon
them.
Mr. Wilson stated that the Central City Parking Place
Sommission recommended converting the 39 parking spaces
from two-hour parking to all day parking.
Wayne Overstreet, Super intendent, Publ ic Bui Id ings,
stated he had recommended that the City pursue three hour
parking rather than all day parking because of the possi-
bility of employees using those spaces. His recommenda-
tion was overruled by the Commission.
.
Mr. Overstreet indicated that he was authorized and
directed by the Common Council to dismiss any ticket re-
ceived by a client of either of those two agencies. He
stated that it appears to be more of an employee problem
32

than a client problem. He explained that during the five
years the agenc ies have been there, he had had only two
clients complain about a parking ticket.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Miller and unanimously carried, that said
resolution be referred back to the Central City Parking
Place Commission.
COUNCIL PERSONNEL COMMITTEE REPORT - APRIL 21, 1988 -
COUNCIL MEMBER REILLY
Council Member Reilly, Chairman of the Council Per-
sonnel Committee, presented the report of the Council
Personnel Committee meeting held on April 21, 1988. The
fOllowing items were discussed: (32)

ployees by Civil Service - Item continued
to second meeting in May. Personnel Direc-
tor is waiting for a decision from PERS
regarding the City's exclusion of Recrea-
tion Aides and extra board Refuse Workers.
Presently Library Aides and Crossing Guards
are excluded.
.
2. Split of Civil Services/Personnel - The
Committee recommended leaving the Assistant
Personnel Director position open and un-
funded for a one-year budget period. Civil
Service Commission representatives re-
quested that posi tions of Secretary, Per-
sonnel Analyst and Clerk from the existing
Personnel staff be assigned to the Chief
Examiner. The Committee, Acting City Ad-
ministrator and Personnel Director recom-
mended against it. After considerable
discussion and at the recommendation of the
Acting City Administrator and Personnel
Director, the Committee recommended that a
Clerk II position be upgraded to Secretary
and that this posi tion be transferred to
the Chief Examiner. This recommendation to
be placed on the May 16th Agenda, will
impact minimally and is agreeable to the
Chief Examiner. A continuing, four-month
study will be made by staff regarding the
Civil Service Commission recommendation and
any other options.

grave, 0 irector of Pub 1 ic Works/Ci ty Eng ineer, expla ined
tha t one bid had been recei ved on thi s proj ect in the
amount of $115,""'J0, which is 130% over the consulting
engineer's estimate of $50,000.00. (35)
Mr. Hardgrave stated that, based upon the lack of
response and bid price received, it would not be advisable
to re-advertise for bids. He attached a memorandum from
Superintendent of Public Buildings Overstreet, dated April
18, 1988, recommending that the labor for this project be
provided by a combination of resources. Mr. Hardgrave
concurred with this recommendation.
Wayne Overstreet, Superintendent of Public Buildings,
answered questions, stating that the interior of the park-
ing structure will be painted with a more reflective paint
so that the structure will reflect more light.
I t was suggested tha t the area used by the Maruko
Hotel customers be painted first.

Council Member Reilly and unanimously carried, that the
bid received on April 4, 1988, for upgrading signs and
striping in the five-level parking structure, in accor-
dance with Plan No. 7452, be rejected; that the City Ad-
ministrator be authorized to negotiate a reimbursement

ALLOCATION OF FUNDS TO HISPANIC CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE - CINCO DE MAYO FESTIVAL - URGENCY ITEM
In a memorandum dated May 2, 1988, Council Member
Estrada requested consideration of a request from the
Inland Empire Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for funding to
assist in the Cinco de Mayo festivities. It was con-
sidered to be an urgency item due to the fact that Cinco
de Mayo is at the end of this week.
Sr. Assistant City Attorney Barlow answered questions
regarding the urgency of the request.
Council Member Estrada explained that the request
from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce had been submi tted
to the Ways and Means Committee and had been recommended
for funding. It was then submitted to the Fine Arts Com-
mission for consideration for funding out of monies admin-
istered by that group. The Fine Arts Commission felt that
this request did not come under the definition of a fine
arts event and sent it back to the Ways and Means Commit-
tee with a request that the Committee review the possi-
bility of alternate funding for events such as the Black
History Parade and other promotional events that do not
come under their definition of fine arts events.
