Mark Sutton answered questions regarding the number of

Deputy City Attorney Henry Empeno expressed concern
about any continuance, as this matter has been pending a

building. If the Council approves a continuance, it
should be a short one.

Mark Sutton, Director of Building and Safety,

Maurice Peters expressed displeasure with Mr.
Sutton's statements regarding the building. Mr. Peters
stated that the sanitary facilities were destroyed by the

that the Council give him the opportunity to provide his
defense to the motion.

Building Commissioners was not properly constituted; and

PUBLIC HEARING - FEE ADJUSTMENTS - PUBLIC WORKS
DEPARTMENT'S PROGRAM EXPANSION PROPOSAL
This is the time and place set for a pUblic hearing to
consider the Public Works Department's program expansion
proposal and fee adjustments. (12)
In a memorandum dated June 8, 1988, Roger Hardgrave,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer, explained that
Resolution No. 85-258 set fees based on the amount of
construction. The proposed resolution provides that the
fees be based on a percentage of the construction costs:
0.25% for the plan check and 0.30% for the inspection
fee.
A 1987 survey of surrounding cities showed the above
recommended percentages to be about midway in the fee
structure. If adopted, the resolution will provide an
equal basis for the inspection and plan check fees based
on the amount of work to be performed by the City.
Mayor Wilcox opened the pUblic hearing.
Gene Klatt., Assistant City Engineer, explained the fee
structure and answered questions.
City Clerk Clark stated that no protests had been
received.

Assistant City Attorney Empeno explained that the
effective date of the resolution, if adopted today, would
be August 1, 1988. However, according to State law, the

would be 30 days.

In a memorandum dated July 18, 1988, Deborah Biggs,
Director of the Animal Control Department, presented a
report regarding the problems in controlling the increased
number of stray cats in the City. She set forth
.
- 11 -
8/1/88
.
recommendations to be included in a proposed ordinance
that would help control these problems. She anticipated
that the revenue for such a licensing program for the
first year would be $116,357.50, the first year expenses
would be $57,801.00, with a net revenue of $58,556.50.
Deborah Biggs, Director of Animal Control, stated that
the estimated cat population in San Bernardino is 33,728.
There is a greater risk of death for stray cats than dogs
and greater difficulty in locating the owners of stray
cats because they are not licensed. She stated that cat
licensing is becoming an accepted concept and named
several cities that have adopted such a program.
Ms. Biggs presented five proposed components to be
included in the licensing program:
1. That all cats over the age of four months be
vaccinated against rabies;
2. That all cats over the age of four months are to
be licensed and wear the tag at all times;
3. That any cat found running at large without a
license may be impounded;
.
4. That it will be unlawful to own more than three
cats. Those residents who have more than three cats when
the ordinance takes effect will be grandfathered in by a
no charge permit within 90 days;
5. The license fees for dogs shall apply for cats.
Ms. Biggs gave statistics of possible health problems
in cats, which may be transmitted to'humans, and described
how requiring rabies vaccinations and controlling the
number of stray cats can reduce these health problems.
She stated that the proposed fees are $16.00 for
an unaltered animal; $7.00 for an altered animal; $5.00
for a senior citizen owner; $3.00 for transfer of
ownership; and $1.00 for replacement tags. Income from
these fees would reduce the sUbsidy the Animal Control
Department now receives from the General Fund.
Deputy City Attorney Empeno stated that the title of
the ordinance listed in the agenda should be corrected to
insert the words "without tags" after the word "large" on
the next to last line.
John Boggs, 1160 E. 27th Street, spoke in support of
the proposed ordinance and complained about the sanitation
and odor problems created by a neighbor's 40 cats.

questions
Section
Jo Orman, President of the Humane Society, spoke in
favor of the proposed ordinance, stating that it helps
promote responsible pet ownership, in that it requires
rabies vaccination, gives financial incentives, encourages
spaying or neutering and requires the wearing of tags.
.
Dave Light, 1165 E. 27th Street, a member of the
Animal Advisory Commission, stated he thought the proposal
might be a threat to people who will claim they don't own
cats that run around, and that there might be difficulty
in enforcing the ordinance. However, if people care for
their cats, they should protect them with this ordinance.
Lucille Otto, a resident of Riverside, California,
stated she was in favor of spaying and neutering cats and
would like to see cats confined, either inside homes, or
outdoor enclosures. She objected to the requirement of
collars for cats and suggested other alternatives might be
found for identifying cats. She also suggested that the
holding time for cats in the shelter be extended to a week
to ten days.
Lucy Sample, Cambridge Avenue, a resident of the Fifth
Ward, an owner of many pets, stated it was very difficult
to keep cats indoors, and expressed concern about the
enforcement of the ordinance. She stated that her cats
lose their collars frequently.

PUBLIC HEARING - FEE ADJUSTMENT AND PROGRAM
EXPANSION - ANIMAL CONTROL DEPARTMENT
This is the time and place set for a pUblic hearing to
consider the Animal Control Department's program expansion
proposal and fee adjustments (citation/spay-neuter
tracking program). (15)
.
In a memorandum dated June 28, 1988, Deborah Biggs,
Director, Animal Control Department, stated that fines
generated from citations issued by Animal Control have
been collected by the San Bernardino County Municipal
Court District on the City's behalf and deposited in the
General Fund. No documentation is received that gives any
details about the money generated. Funds generated for

staff is proposing to change the citation procedure,
and collect penalties in a manner similar to the parking
citation process in Public Buildings. An administrative
hearing process would be established for those who wish to
contest the citation. Appeals would be processed through
the County Court system.
In her memorandum, Ms. Biggs also explained that the
State of California requires that no animal shelter shall
sell any dog or cat that has not been spayed or neutered
unless a deposit for such surgery has been collected.
Prior to 1987, no tracking system existed for the
spay-neuter trust account. Such a system is now in place.
If the proposed mandatory spay-neuter policy is adopted,
the workload will increase significantly. Staff is
proposing the hiring of one Animal Shelter Office
Specialist to coordinate the administrative functions for
this program. The cost for this would be $27,788, with
revenue of $46,534, leaving net revenue of $18,746.
Mayor Wilcox opened the hearing.
City Clerk Clark stated that no protests had been
received.
.
Deborah Biggs elaborated on the information contained
in her memorandum of June 28, 1988, and answered
questions. She stated that the Animal Advisory Commission
would not be used as a hearing board for appeals on
citations. Either she or Tobe Collins, Shelter Operations
Manager, would act as hearing officer.
Council Member Minor made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the
hearing be closed, and that the program be approved as
recommended contingent upon execution of a memorandum of
understanding between the City of San Bernardino and the
San Bernardino County Municipal Court District for the
purpose of accepting pleas of not guilty and receiving
bail on animal control citations.

plan to make it a very attractive project.
.
Mr. Redmond stated that a marketing program has been
started to encourage business to locate in the park, with
an incentive of lower land costs than in neighboring
areas. He mentioned various projects that are planned,
including three buildings by developer Russ Hatle, a 70
unit Rodeway Inn, mini-storage, Shell Oil facility, and J

Mr. Redmond answered

Interim Planning Director Loehr stated that a General
Plan must be valid today and also be effective in five to
twenty years. Studying major projects such as the State
COllege Business Park, will give insight in jUdging what
will work in the General Plan.
Betsy Starbuck, member of the CAC, expressed concern
regarding fire safety.
.
Jim Richardson, Deputy City Administrator, stated that
the Interim POlicy Document had a lot of area devoted to
commercial and industrial uses and stated that the
consultants were concerned whether there are sufficient
resources to support that much industrial development.
Helen KopczynSki, member of the CAC, spoke regarding
the need for higher standards.
Mr. Lorenz, a member of the CAC, spoke regarding the
need for more jobs in the City and keeping the citizens
here in the area.
Interim Planning Director Loehr explained that when
the City goes through the General Plan process there will
be several questions regarding standards: Does the City
want to increase them from what they are today, and does
the City want to apply different standards to different
areas in the City?
.
John Traver, Chairman of the CAC, stated that he had
been asked by the CAC to contact the Mayor and Common
Council to express the Committee's feelings that the
Council is too quick to change some of their
recommendations after they had spent a great deal of time
and thought on them. The Committee monitored two specific
issues through the the Planning Commission and Council
process and felt changes were made without sufficient
thought being given to them.
- 20 -

.
He felt that these combined meetings were very helpful
in keeping everyone up to date.
.
Wade Byars, a member of the CAC, stated he thought the
purpose of the CAC was to submit proposals and suggestions
in a cooperative way and help establish guidelines for
the betterment of the City.
Mr. Loehr suggested that input from the CAC and
Planning Commission be made early in the planning
schedule, so that recommendations are not coming in at the
last minute. He also suggested that any presentations and
recommendations by the CAC be made jointly to the Planning
Commission and to the Council.
Helen Kopczynski stated that when the Committee was
working on the Interim Planning Document, they received
information from the consultants, 3/4 of which had still
not been reviewed by the Committee. She stated she would
not like to see that same thing happen with the General
Plan.
Mr. Loehr described the difficulties of making major
change in the General Plan in such a short time.
.
He stated his understanding of the function of the CAC
is to review the consultants' recommendations and develop
a presentation on the recommended goals and plans for the
long term General Plan program.
It was the consensus of those present that the
workshops are beneficial to all involved in the General
Plan process and should be continued on a regular basis.
Mayor Wilcox stated that such workshops had been
scheduled for the first Council meeting of each month.

but that each is legally acceptable.

pursuant to previous discussion and recommendations of the

each case is consistent with the Interim POlicy Document.
Even if they were denied by the Council, the zone changes
could proceed based on the fact that they are consistent
with the Interim Policy Document.
Interim Planning Director Loehr recommended that these
items be continued and the property owners notified that
they can proceed automatically. If they desire to proceed
with the zoning, they should contact the Council. The
owner of the project listed as Item 47 has indicated his
desire to proceed.

closing the matter, as it has started through the process
and has to be finalized. She suggested language that
could be used as a motion.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the
Council finds that the request for zone changes 88-3,
88-4, and 85-9 are already addressed in the Interim Policy
Document and are consistent with the land use designation

OF TIME - ARCO PETROLEUM PRODUCTS CO. -
NORTHWEST CORNER OF SECOND AND "G" STREETS
This is the time and place set to hear an appeal filed
by P. D. Lippert, Real Estate Representative for ARCO
Petroleum Projects Co., on the Planning Commission's
denial of an extension of time for Conditional Use Permit
No. 87-15 from May 6, 1988, to May 6, 1989. The project
is an auto service station and convenience food store with
off-site sale of beer and wine in the C-4, Central
Business District, and is located on the northwest corner
of Second and "G" Streets. (48)
In a memorandum dated July 15, 1988, Michael Loehr,
Interim Planning Director, explained that on May 6, 1987,
CUP No. 87-15 was approved by the Planning Commission to
permit the construction and operation of an auto service
station and convenience food store with off-site sale of
beer and wine. An extension of time was requested due to
budgeting reasons. Subsequently, the Police Department
cited an undue concentration of off-site alcohol licenses
in the reporting district.
Mayor Wilcox opened the hearing.
.
John Montgomery, Principal Planner, explained the
background of this proposed project and stated that the
extension of time granted in 1987 had expired in May of
this year.
Roger Moore, representing Atlantic Richfield,
explained that the extension of time is requested so that
ARCO may pursue obtaining an off-site alcohol license from
the ABC, as their previous request had been denied. He
stated it would be unprofitable to operate the proposed
business without a liquor license. The project would not
go forward unless the extension of time is approved.

with Measure HH - The Committee received
reports from the Citizens for Responsible
Research, The Humane Society and the Animal
Advisory Commission (attached). The Committee
recommended, if not already on the books, the
motion made and approved by the Animal Advisory
Commission to officially endorse the current
availability and adoption policies of the City
of San Bernardino Animal Control Division.
This resolution, if necessary, will be on the
August 15, 1988, Council Agenda. A commendatory
resolution from the Humane Society was presented
to the Committee. The Committee requested it be
placed in Ms. Deborah Biggs' personnel records
and that it be read at the August 1st Council
meeting. Accusations regarding the Fifth
Ward appointee, made by letter from the Citizens
for Responsible Research, was vehemently refuted
by Councilman Minor. The members from that
organization had already departed after reading
their letter into the record.
.
2. Ordinance to Limit Campaiqn Contributions -
Continued to second meeting in August. The City
Attorney briefed on a new law regarding campaign
funds. Although a clarification has been requested
from the Fair Political Practices Commission, Mr.
Penman advised that the law will require all
campaign chests to be depleted by the end of
December. The Fair Political Practices Commis-
sion will render a ruling the week of July 25,
1988.
CITY ATTORNEY PENMAN ARRIVED
City Attorney Penman arrived at the Council Meeting.
Mr. Penman explained provisions of a new law governing
campaign funds. A member of the Fair Political Practices
commission recommended that Mr. Penman advise candidates
that they should plan to run two financial compaigns - one
for 1988 and one for 1989, if their campaign will overlap
two calendar years. It is almost a certainty that any
money in any campaign funds as of January 1, 1989, may not
be expended for the election of a candidate, but may be
used for other lawful purposes.
.
Mr. Penman explained other provisions, which he felt
might be unconstitutional, i.e., that a candidate may not
prepay expenses for 1989; and that any purchase, such as a
duplicator, with funds from 1988 funds, cannot be used in
a campaign after January 1, 1989, unless the purchase was
made prior to June 1, 1988. There are two dates that
pertain to this law: the effective date and the operative
date (January 1, 1989). According to a section of State

5. General Plan Interim Policy Document Discus-
sion - Item continued. The recommended amendments

Attorney (attached) will be forwarded for approval

tinuing changes and review of policy regarding
this issue, it was determined that the Interim
POlicy Document remain on the Legislative Review

9. Proposed Charter Amendment - Prosecution
of State Law Violations (Misdemeanors and
Infractions) - The Committee agreed to forward
this item for hearing by the full Council. Council-
man Minor stated his opposition to amending the
Charter. He expressed concern that additional
staff would be required. The item will be heard
on July 27, 1988, so that, if passed, there will
be time to process the resolution in time for the
November election.
Deputy City Attorney Empeno answered questions
regarding the proposed Charter Amendment. He stated that
prosecutions would be based on evidence and facts, not on
any personal likes or dislikes of individuals involved.
.
City Attorney Penman stated he agreed with Mr.
Empeno's statement. He also explained that he had met
with District Attorney Kottmeier who stated that his
office was not now prosecuting the type of cases being
considered, so there would be no budget savings in his
office as a result of the Charter Amendment.
