HEARING - TITLE 24 - CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE
CODE - IMPLEMENTATION OF BUILDING PERMIT FEE
I NCREAS ES
This is the time and place set for a hearing con-
cerning Title 24 of the California Administrative Code as
it relates to the implementation of building permit fee
increases, as requested by former City Attorney Prince.
(13)
City Attorney Penman advised that his office is
currently investigating complaints regarding Attorney
Ralph H. Prince allegedly operating his law practice out
of his home at 3160-B Little Mountain Drive, San Bernar-
dino, without a business license and his alleged failure
to remove political signs.
City Attorney Penman read Attorney Prince his
Miranda rights, so as not to violate his Constitutional
rights during questioning.
Ralph Prince, attorney, stated that the City has the
right under state law to impose building permit fees. The
state building code imposes standards, not fees.
.
11
5/16/88
.
In an undated letter, Ralph Prince disagreed with
City Attorney Penman's legal opinion dated February 1,
1988, concerning charges that the City failed to collect
a $300,000 increase in building permit fees, which Mr.
Penman states were automatically imposed by operation of
state law.
Mr. Prince recommended that rather than debating the
issue at the Council Meeting, that the matter be referred
to a committee for review and a presentation in detail.
City Attorney Penman read from Title 24 of the
California Administrative Code regarding adoption of the
Uniform Building Code, which is adopted in sections. He
noted a discrepancy in that Title 24 refers to fees
adopted in the Table of Contents and the Table of Con-
tents was omitted from the California Administrative
Code.
Discussion ensued regarding the public hearing which
was held by the Mayor and Common Council previous to
their adoption of an ordinance to set the building permit
fees.
Mark Sutton, Director of Building and Safety,
. answered questions regarding his understanding of the
City's authori ty to set building permit fees, stating
that the manner in which Title 24 was publi shed left
interpretation to local legal counsel.
City Attorney Penman stated that he had been advised
by the former Ci ty Attorney's staff tha t sta te imposed
fees did not apply to the City, because San Bernardino is
a charter city.
Mr. Prince stated that there is no question that the
state has the right to impose building permit fees upon
charter ci ties, and to impose standards if they do not
act within a specified period of time. He spoke regard-
ing his research of neighboring cities, stating that none
of them are under the assumption that building permit
fees are automatically imposed by state law.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by
Counc i 1 Member Flores, tha t the hear i ng be closed, and
the matter concerning Title 24 of the California Admini-
strative Code as it relates to the implementation of
building permit fee increases be referred to the Legis-
lative Review Committee for review and a report back to
the Mayor and Common Council.

Theresa C. Overcast, Commissioner on the Animal
Advisory Commission, suggested that the City pass an

Jim Robbins, Acting City Administrator, stated that

Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the
Mayor be directed to send a letter to Sacramento, includ-
ing the recommendation of Police Chief Burnett supporting
legislation prohibiting the sale of look-alike toy guns;
that the City Attorney be directed to prepare a resolu-
tion, supporting state legislation prohibiting the sale
of look-alike toy guns for adoption at the next Council
Meeting, along with an ordinance, which would prohibit

PUBLIC HEARING - YEAR-TO-DATE MULTI-YEAR DOG
LICENSING
This is the time and place set for a public hearing
to consider changing the current method of dog licensing
in the City from that of one expiration date for all
licenses to a year-to-date multi-year dog license.
(15)
Mayor wilcox opened the hearing.
In a memorandum dated April 13, 1988, Debbie Biggs,
Director of Animal Control, recommended the implementa-
tion of a year-to-date multi-year dog licensing for the
City.
Debbie Biggs, Director of Animal Control, reported
problems incurred by the Department of Animal Control and
Treasurer's Office as result of the current method of dog
licensing, as all licenses are renewable on the same
date. She stated that the City's current percentage of
licensed and vaccinated dogs falls below that which
designates an effective control in case of an outbreak of
rabies.
.
Joan Orman, Pres iden t of the Humane Sac iety,
answered questions regarding the number of dog owners
having their animals vaccinated at the Low Cost Spay/
Neuter Clinic, and spoke in favor of the year-to-date
multi-year license, a reduced license rate for animals
owned by senior citizens and a transfer license for new
residents.
The Director of Animal Control spoke regarding the
advantages of having year-to-date licensing in the City,
stating that it would allow for the license to expire in
conjunction with the dog's vaccination. She stated that
the City is currently not complying with the intent of
state law that a license cannot be valid beyond the point
of the expiration of vaccination.
Council Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Miller and unanimously carried, that the
hear i ng be closed; that the implemen ta tion of year- to-
date mul ti -year dog 1 icenses be approved and tha t the
City Attorney be instructed to prepare the necessary
Municipal Code changes.

a homeless shelter until nine years ago when it failed to
meet new building and safety codes and handicapped re-
quirements. The site will accommodate up to seventy

PARKING LOT NO. 3 - REQUEST BY JOHN LONERGAN
TO PURCHASE PUBLIC PARKING LOT PROPERTY
In a memorandum dated May 10, 1988, Glenda Saul,
Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency, stated
that Section 15 of the lease agreement between the
Redevelopment Agency (the owner of the parking lots) and
the City (operator of the parking lots) requires that any
reduction of the number of parking spaces be accounted
for in one of two ways: (R-8)
1. Supplying substitute property for any
property removed from the leased premises or
2. Deposit with the Fiscal Agent an aliquot
portion of the bonds which were used to
purchase the property.
She further stated that the Parking Place Commission
recommends that in lieu of the request of Mr. John
Lonergan to purchase 14 parking spaces in Public Parking
Lot No.3, that he request a long- term lease for the
spaces. Their recommendation was based upon a recent
survey which revealed a lack of downtown public parking.
If Mr. Lonergan is permitted to purchase the spaces, then
other landlords could follow this precedent, thereby
further reducing the available parking spaces.

stitution parking was located and the Redevelopment
Agency purchased the replacement property for the
Lonergan's to buy from the Redevelopment Agency.
Instead, the Lonergan's purchased another piece of
property to use for parking.
John Lonergan, acting as trustee for his family,
spoke regarding their need for the parking spaces and the

FINE ARTS FUNDING - FINE ARTS COMMISSION -
LUNCHEON MEETING FOR DISCUSSION
This is the time and place set for a luncheon meet-
ing between the Mayor and Common Council of the City of
San Bernardino and the Fine Arts Commission, regarding
fine arts funding, the allocation of those funds and the
prospect of receipt of future funding. (42)
Barry Silver, Chairman of the Fine Arts Commission,
provided a copy of the 1986-87 and 1987-88 Arts Funding
Budget, itemizing funding allocations paid and Cultural
Development Fees collected. He also provided information
regarding the current status of Bill No. AB 1600 regard-
ing development project fees.
Discussion was held concerning the prospect of
future funding from development project fees due to Bill
No. AB 1600, and whether or not the commission could
expect funding from the City's General Fund.
Senior Assistant City Attorney Barlow answered
questions regarding the preparation of letter to the
state legislature regarding public support of the Cul-
tural Development Fee. He stated the need for a signi-
ficant number of letters of support from the pUblic to
send to the state.
.
21
5/16/88
.
He answered questions regarding the validity of
development project fees within the context of the law,
as the Cultural Development Fee does have a purpose
associated and identified with development. He stated
that City Attorney's are generally of the opinion that AB
1600 does prevent these fees.
Thelma Press, Cultural and International Affairs,
requested that the City Attorney's office prepare a
sample letter of support for the Cultural Development
Fees so that groups and organizations may have an idea of
what to include in their letters.
She spoke regarding the need for a funding source
for cultural activities in the City and the lack of
voluntary funding from organizations, stating that over
300 requests for donation letters were sent to represen-
tatives of the building industry and trades and only two
donations were received.
Discussion ensued regarding developers from outside
of the city building developments that benefit from the
cultural activities in the City and leaving the community
without having contributed to the support of the cultural
activities.
.
Thelma Press advised that letters of concern have
been written to Assemblyman Leonard.
Senior Assistant City Attorney Barlow answered ques-
tions, stating that an amendment to the state law would
be the proper course of action to reinstate development
project fees, and that a show of pUblic support is needed
to get an amendment.
Discussion ensued regarding the allocation of the
funds and the Commission reserving funds for a substan-
tial contribution to the City. The importance of edi-
torial support in the newspaper was also discussed.

FROM MAY 2, 1988
This is the time and place set for an appeal hearing
