Doug Heffner of Canoga Park, stated that he had

.
Sr. Assistant City Attorney Barlow stated that this
matter is covered by Item *2 on the consent calendar and
should be discussed at that time.
Mr. Heffner continued with his explanation of a mis-
understanding that had occurred regarding the minutes of
the Council Meeting held on May 18, 1988, concerning the
zoning of his property. He stated that he had talked to
Council Member Flores regarding this matter and was told
that no environmental impact survey had been done, and
that the zoning had been designated as a result of aerial
photographs and parcel maps. Mr. Heffner stated he wants
the Light Industrial zoning for his property as set forth
in the printed minutes, rather than RS that is on the
parcel map in the Planning Department. He stated that he
had checked out tapes from the City Clerk's Office and
there were erasures in stategic parts of the tapes.
City Clerk clarified the previous statement by stat-
ing that the tapes were never in the City Clerk's Office,
but had been checked out of the Council Office.
Mr. Heffner distributed copies of documents relating
to his presentation.
.
Mr. Heffner stated that most of the property owners
and renters in the affected area prefer the zoning IL as
the Council Minutes state. He described the boundaries of
the property in question as being Rialto Avenue on the
north, Muscott on the west, Walnut on the south, and the
Flood Control Channel on the east.
(See Item 2, page 10 for further action.)

during the battle of Armegeddon, stated his true identify
is that of the Anti-Christ. (A)
PUBLIC COMMENTS - ROY CALVIN TAYLER - ZONING
Roy Calvin Tayler, 1570 W. Walnut, stated he owns
several lots on Walnut, two of which go through to San

ing designation when he purchased the property. (A)

Mayor Wilcox stated that later in the meeting a dis-
cussion will be held concerning the procedures by which
amendments can be made to the Interim Policy Document.

PUBLIC COMMENTS - GAIL ANN NUNEZ - STOP SIGNS
AT BELLEVIEW AND "J" STREETS
Gail Ann Nunez, 1030 Belleview Street, presented a
petition signed by residents of the area of Belleview and
"J" Streets, requesting the installation of a four-way
stop sign at that intersection. She spoke of a recent
accident at that corner that seriously injured two young
boys, and stated it is an unsafe intersection because of
vehicles speeding through. She stated the residents had
requested action by the City several times, but the City
had rejected the request, as there was not enough traffic
flow to warrant the stop signs. (Al
Mayor wilcox directed that Acting City Administrator
Robbins and Director of Public Works/City Engineer Hard-
grave put this matter on the Mayor's Traffic Safety Com-
mittee agenda, and that Ms. Nunez be notified of the date
of the meeting.

PUBLIC COMMENTS - COUNCIL MEMBER POPE-LUDLAM -
DRUG AND CRIME PROBLEMS
Council Member Pope-Ludlam spoke of her concern over
mounting crime problems in her ward. She stated there is
increased drug dealing and new drug houses in her block,
and frequent shoot-outs. She reported that at a recent
dance, rifles were being taken into the building. Police
were called and responded with many officers being sent to
the area. (Al
Council Member Pope-Ludlam told of attempted rape and
murder, a residence being burglarized of every movable
item, and constant violence.
Council Member Pope-Ludlam stated she had called the
Police station on a weekend and had asked for the Watch
Commander, and a patrolman answered. It appeared that all
higher ranking officers are off-duty on weekends. She
felt that superior or supervising officers should be
available on weekends.
Mayor wilcox suggested a workshop to discuss the
commitment of dollars and manpower to fight the problems
of gangs and drugs and find a solution.

Ralph Hernandez, a San Bernardino resident, agreed
with Council Member Pope-Ludlam regarding the seriousness
of the crime problems. He stated he has heard frequent
shooting. He complained that the Police Department has
guaranteed prompt action in other areas of the City, but
has not guaranteed the same for areas in the West Side.
It was pointed out that the Police Ad Hoc Committee
had discussed some of these issues and it was recommended
that a close watch be kept on gang activity. It was also
suggested that the legal staff be asked if it were pos-
sible to enact legislation that would provide stiffer
penalties, such as heavy fines that would hurt their econ-
omic interests, for anyone picked up for any drug related
crime. Any such legislation would not supercede State or
Federal laws.
It was suggested that the workshop include the Mayor
and Common Council, members of the Police Department, and
other law enforcement agencies. It was also recommended
that the workshop be held as a special called Council
meeting, rather than a luncheon, to allow adequate time to
carefully consider the issue.
.
It was the general consensus of the Council that the
Mayor proceed with plans for the workshop.
Several Council Members spoke of excellent response
from many Police officers and their dedicated service in
dealing with crime in their wards. It was stated that the
officers have worked weekends and whenever they were
needed.

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT - OCTOBER
10, 1988 - CHAIRMAN, COUNCIL MEMBER ESTRADA
The following items were on the agenda of the Ways
and Means Committee meeting held on October 10, 1988:
(12)
1. Visitors/Convention Bureau - The Ways
and Means Committee accepted the report
from the VCB Committee and recommended
approval of the plan, and with the consen-
sus and support of those present, is recom-
mending the following individuals to the
Visitors and Convention Bureau Board:
Dave Porter - Cal State San Bernardino
Ann Harris - Main street
Pat Caffrey - Quality Inn
Terri O'Connor - Orange Show
Laurie Aldern - Maruko Hotel
Alfredo Gonzales - KCAL & Hispanic Chamber
of Commerce
Bob Spivacke - Central City Mall
Jim Richardson - City of San Bernardino
Bureau Director - To be selected
Mr. Richardson, after approval of the plan
by the full Council, will arrange a board
meeting for the selection of officers. The

t
Board will provide the articles of incor-
poration, by-laws and specific implementa-
tion plan (dates, methods, etc.) to the
Ways and Means Committee at their November
28, 1988, meeting. The Committee asked Mr.
Dabritz to please advise all the Chamber
organizations, such as The Thursday Morning
Group, of the recommendations made by the
Comm it tee.
2. YWCA Draft Agreement - Item continued.,
The Committee was not ready to recommend
sale of the building to the YWCA. The City
Attorney advised the Committee that if the
City requested "right of first refusal" in
the sale agreement, the Courts could inter-
pret the language to be too restrictive. A
"restraint and alienation" problem would
mean the City would lose their position and
the By" could sell to whomever. If the
City were to use a clause that the By"
could only sell to someone for the
"instruction and betterment of youth" it
would leave the door open to any kind of
organization and the City would have no
control. After considerable discussion
regarding the insurance issue if a lease
was the avenue to be pursued, the committee
requested the City Attorney to work with
YWCA representatives on a lease draft
agreement. This item will be re-presented
on October 31, 1988.
3. Request to Reduce Purchase Price of
Kellogg Library - Elijah Singletary - Item
continued. The Committee recommended that
the resolution before the Council on Octo-
ber 24, 1988, be changed by interlineation
to indicate a 60-day extension rather than
a 30-day extension. This will give the
City Attorney time to prepare their report.
4. Parking District Funding Report - The
Committee approved the proposal regarding
the parking district survey (attached). The
survey will be coordinated through the
Parking Place Commission prior to returning
to the Ways and Means Committee.

5. Admissions Tax - Item continued to
November 14, 1988. The Committee requested
staff to research the legality of an enter-
tainment tax versus an admissions tax.
There was concern that some entertainment
functions which served the same role as
theaters would not be taxed. Staff will
review pre and post fiscal status of busi-
nesses taxed, how they are identified and
what role non-profits play in the process.
6. Storm Drain Fees - The Committee was
concerned that because fees have increased
from $70,200 to $140,400 since the district
was formed and only $70,200 was to be col-
lected for storm drain fees, the City of
San Bernardino might not be legal in using
the excess $70,200 without applying it to
the District. The Committee recommended
that the total amount be applied to storm
drain fees and asked that Colton bond coun-
sel and our attorney provide the legal
position of each entity - Colton, San Ber-
nardino and Forecast Corporation in this
joint venture.
.
Council Member Flores made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Minor and unanimously carried, that the
minutes of the Ways and Means Committee meeting held Octo-
ber 10, 1988, be received and filed.
CLAIMS AND PAYROLL
Pursuant to a memorandum dated October 3, 1988, from
Andrew Green, Director of Finance, Council Member Flores
made a motion, seconded by Council Member Minor and unani-
mously carried, that the claims and payrolls, and the
authorization of the issuance of warrants listed by the
Director of Finance, be approved. (13)

Meeting and took her place at the Council Table.

the land use designation of his property. The written
minutes reflected a different zone designation than indi-
cated on a map in the Planning Department. The portion of
the master tape regarding that matter had been erased, and
there was no other source to check Council discussion at
said meeting. (2)
Sr. Assistant City Attorney Barlow suggested that a
public hearing be set to discuss this issue, and the
property owners be properly notified. The issue is raised
because of the difference in opinion of what actually
occurred at the meeting of May 18, 1988, with no means to
check the facts. The master tape had been loaned to the
Planning Department, and was returned to the Council of-
fice with a portion of the tape erased.
It was pointed out that the erasure of a

in the meeting of May 18, 1988, during the discussion of
the item, but with the tape missing, there is no way to
verify her notes.
Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Flores and unanimously carried, that this
item be continued for a public hearing to be held Monday,
November 21, 1988, at 2:00 p.m., in the Council Chambers
of City Hall, 300 North "D" Street, San Bernardino, Cali-
fornia, to consider the designation of the property RS,

PROPOSED VACATION - PORTION OF "J" STREET, NORTH
OF OAK STREET - AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED AND PLAN
APPROVAL
In a memorandum dated September 30, 1988, Roger Hard-
grave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, explained
that a request had been received to vacate a portion of
"J" Street, north of Oak Street, from a property owner
adjoining the proposed area to the east. The property to
the west is owned by the San Bernardino City School Dis-
trict, who is in agreement with the proposed vacation. The
property on the north is owned by the County Flood Control
District. The District will be contacted through the
investigative proceedings for concurrence. (11)

locked. He also stated that all property owners will be
notified of the proposed vacation and will have an oppor-
tunity to appear at the public hearing at a future Council
meeting.
Council Member Flores made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Reilly and unanimously carried, that the
Director of Public Works/City Engineer and the City Clerk
be authorized to proceed with the proposed vacation of a
portion of "J" Street, north of Oak street; and that Plan
No. 7603, showing the proposed vacation of the frontage

APPEAL HEARING - BOARD OF BUILDING COMMISSIONERS'
ORDER TO OBTAIN REHABILITATION PERMIT - REHABILI-
TATE OR DEMOLISH AND CLEAN - 125 E. NINTH STREET -
MR. SOLOMON D. SADDI
This is the time and place set to hear an appeal
filed by Mr. Solomon D. Saddi on property located at 125
E. Ninth Street, on the Board of Building Commissioners'
order to obtain a rehabilitation permit to rehabilitate or
demolish and clean said property. (15)
Mark Sutton, Director of Building and Safety, gave
the background of the problems with the property in ques-
tion, and showed the Council pictures of the property
taken at 9:00 a.m., on October 24, 1988.
.

.
Mr. Sutton stated that 11 months ago his department
notified the former owner and the property management
company, Paramount Properties, of the violations. They
indicated they would clean the property. However, no
action was taken. In March of this year, the Building and
Safety Department had the property cleaned and the matter
was taken to the Board of Building Commissioners. Mr.
Saddi, the new owner, appeared at the meeting and stated
he had not been notified of any violations, even though
the broker who sold him the property in March, 1988, had
been notified. Mr. Saddi indicated at the Board of Build-
ing Commissioners' hearing that he did examine the prop-
erty prior to sale.
Marla Wirsz, Broker, Paramount Properties, 11174 Mt.
View, Lorna Linda, stated they did not manage the property
in question, but had listed it for sale. The new buyer,
Mr. Saddi, planned to build out the property, at which
time these buildings would be repaired.
.
Ms. Wirsz stated she had spoken with Mr. Mark Young,
Code Compliance Officer, Building & Safety Department, in
November or December, 1987, who indicated the Department
had tried to reach the property owner to request that the
property be cleaned of weeds, debris and old cars. He
stated that a lien would be placed against the property to
recover the City's costs. This amount could then be paid
through escrow. However, the lien was never imposed, and
the new owner is being billed for work that was done be-
fore he bought the property.
Ms. Wirsz answered questions, stating that Mr. Saddi
had allowed one tenant to remain in one of the units to
discourage vandalism.
The Director of Building and Safety answered ques-
tions regarding the lien procedure, stating that the mat-
ter must go before the Board of Building Commissioners who
verify the process and costs. This procedure takes three
to four months.
Sr. Assistant City Attorney Barlow answered questions
regarding the lien process, stating it is regretable that
the costs were not paid by the previous owner, but it is
the property that is benefitted by the abatement action,
and the City's action is proper.
Bill Ponder, Board of Bui Iding Commissioner, ex-
plained that the Board tries to determine what is in the
best interest of the City, and also provide adequate no-
.

.
tice to property owners. He stated that property often
changes hands during the period of the City's involvement,
which makes it difficult to provide notice to the proper
person.
Sr. Assistant City Attorney Barlow stated that a
Notice of Pendency had been recorded on March 15, 1988,
which gives legal notice of the pending action by the
City.
The Director of Building & Safety stated that Mr.
Saddi had bought the property during the moratorium. Prior
to the Moratorium, the property was zoned R-3, Multi-
Family. The property is now zoned RS, Single-Family. In
order to build it out, it would have to be a single family
residential unit rather than the three or four that are
there now.
He al so sta ted tha t the nui sance needs to be abated
now, as the units are open and vacant, and there are still
abandoned cars and debris on the property.
.
Ms. Wirsz stated that at the time Mr. Saddi purchased
the property, his partner could not wait out the delay
imposed by the moratorium. Mr. Saddi is now in the pro-
cess of getting a new partner.
Mr. Sutton answered questions, stating that the units
have been vacant for more than 180 days, so lose their
vested right to the multi-family designation, and would
have to go back to single-family. He stated Mr. Saddi
could go through a variance procedure to create a profit-
able use of the property.
Mr. Sutton stated that the Notice of Pendency is only
one type of notice. When the broker and previous owner
were notified, that is another form of acceptable notice.
Ms. Wirsz stated she understood that the lien was
going to be placed immediately because of discussions with
the Code Compliance Officer in which she indicated that
the property was in escrow and due to close within 30
days. She was unaware that the lien process took so long.
The previous owner was willing to pay the costs of clean-
ing the property.
She stated that the new owner is not a slum lord and

PROTEST HEARING - PROPOSED STREET VACATION _
PORTIONS OF MAIN STREET AND BROADWAY STREET,
BETWEEN "I" AND "JIl STREETS
In a memorandum dated September 30, 1988, Roger Hard-
grave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that
a request was received from the Redevelopment Agency to
vacate portions of Main Street and Broadway Street, be-
tween "I" and "J" Streets. On February 1, 1988, authori-
zation was given to proceed with the proposed vacation,
and Plan No. 7422 was approved. (16)
In his memorandum, Mr. Hardgrave explained that the
extension of "F" Street, south of Rialto Avenue, is an
integral part of the Central City South Project, and will
require approval of a new public grade crossing over the
Santa Fe Railway. Santa Fe has indicated that they would
consider approving the new public grade crossing, provided
that a present crossing (s) is closed. Main Street and
Broadway are minor crossings and were selected as possible
candidates to be closed.
.
Council Member Flores stated that he had received
five telephone calls protesting the vacation.
Mayor wilcox opened the hearing.
Stanley Lang of Lang's Empire Building Materials,
distributed maps of the area involved in the proposed
vacation. He stated he owns, leases and rents several
lots in the area, and has been in that location for about
25 years. The railroad track in that area is known as the
Redlands Loop, and is never used more than once a day. He
stated that all his materials are brought in by truck. He
explained that his business uses the street every day,
and if it were closed, they would have to use different
route which would require additional traveling. The vaca-
tion would impose a tremendous burden to his company and
customers.
Carl Oldenkamp, 1240 W. Edgemont, stated he owns
several parcels of real estate in the area of Third Street
and Broadway, and has been in that location since 1965. He
explained that large trucks are used to deliver materials
to his property and if the street were closed, the drivers
would have difficulty in having easy access to his prop-
.
16

.
erty. He stated that the street is used every day, and
the closure would cause a great inconvenience and in-
creased costs. He expressed his opposition to the pro-
posed vacation.
Dan Meyers, 982 West Second Street, protested the
proposed closure. He stated he is in the rehabilitation
business. He explained that Main Street is used two or
three times a day as the quickest access to the freeway to
reach various areas they must maintain. If this street is
closed off, the trucks would have use "J" Street, which
would increase the traffic in a residential area. He also
stated the proposed vacation would decrease property
values.
Laverne Zulch, stated she owns Lots 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 16 and 33. She stated that closing off the street
would be imposing restrictions on her business as well as
other businesses in the area, as her lots 16, 12, 13 and
33 are locked in. She stated she was opposed to the pro-
posed closure.
.
Jean Conmery, 950 West Second Street, stated she
rents this property to a business which needs Main Street
open from both directions for trucks in order to operate.
If the street is closed, the business will be forced to
move elsewhere. She stated that the property was designed
for use with access to Second Street and Main Street, as
large trucks can't turn around and would have to back out.
Ms. Conmery stated that if Main street is closed, the
property value would drop.
Roger Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/City Engi-
neer, answered questions regarding a further study of the
proposed vacation, and explained that this closure had
been requested by the Redevelopment Agency in conjunction
with the Central City South Project.
Mr. Hardgrave stated that even though underground
easements would be granted for utilities, the railroad
could put up barricades to preclude traffic from crossing
the tracks.
Mr. Carl Oldenkamp stated that the railroad is used
much less than the streets proposed for vacation, and the
impact would be much greater on vehicular traffic than on
the railroad.
.
John Hoeger, Development Specialist, Redevelopment
Agency, agreed that a further study was a good idea. He
explained that these locations were identified by the
17
10/24/88
F
.
Public Utilities Commission as being unsafe, and as a
result, were chosen for consideration of closure. Abate-
ment of the unsafe conditions would be very expensive.
Council Member Estrada made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Reilly and unanimously carried, that the
proposed street vacation of portions of Main Street and
Broadway Street, between "I" and "J" Streets, be continued
to Tuesday, January 17, 1989, in the Council Chambers of
City Hall, 300 North "D" Street, San Bernardino, Cali-
fornia.

grave, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, gave the
background of the proposed vacation of a portion of Meyers
Road, west of Little League Drive. He stated there ap-
pears to be no further necessity for that portion of

lic hearing has been scheduled for November 21, 1988, to

continued in order to proceed with the development and
documentation of the infrastructure plan. Since the last
Council Meeting, Ken Henderson, Director of Community
Development, has presented a detailed proposed plan to
the Planning Commission outlining the necessities in the
area for various types of infrastructure and the proposed
financing of those plans.
Mr. Loehr explained that the Planning Commission
recommendation was a three to three split vote, which is
an effective denial. The negative votes were based on the
need for an infrastructure plan. As a result of the pre-
sentation on the infrastructure plan, the Planning Com-
mission recommended favorably for the approval of the
next tract in this area.
He outlined that the issue involved in this tract was
the availability to provide for infrastructure and that
the plans were on file and the calculations dealing with
the issue of traffic, sewer, storm drains and other
mitigation measures within the area had been found
adequate by the Planning Commission.
.
Mr. Loehr recommended approval of this tract based on
prior actions taken at the meeting of October 3, 1988, for
another tract in the same area and recommended that
the Negative Declaration be adopted.
Dennis Stafford with McKeever Engineering of
Riverside, representing the applicant Mirna Overland
Enterprises, stated that he is in favor of the current
recommendation to approve the tract. He stated that he
understood that the environmental issues had been

declaration.

cil Member Maudsley and unanimously carried, that the
hearing be closed; that the decision of the Planning
Commission be reversed; the negative declaration be
adopted; and that Tentative Tract No. 13307 be approved,
subject to the Findings of Fact (Attachment "B"), Cond-
itions of Approval (Attachment "C"), and Standard Require-
ments (Attachment "D").

APPEAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 88-42 -
OFF-SITE SALE OF BEER & WINE - FOOTHILL
MERIDIAN PLAZA - FOOTHILL BLVD & MERIDIAN AVE
This is the time and place set to hear an appeal
dated September 26,1988, filed by David W. Moore,
Schneider Commercial Real Estate, 412 W. Hospitality Lane,
Ste. 108, San Bernardino, California 92408, regarding the
Planning Commission's denial of Conditional Use Permit No.
88-42, for the off-si te sale of beer and wine in a
mini-market at the Foothill Meridian Plaza. The project
is located on the southwest corner of Foothill Boulevard
and Meridian Avenue. (45)
In a memorandum dated October 24, 1988, Michael
Loehr, Interim Planning Director, stated that the appli-
cant requested approval of Conditional Use Permit No.
88-42 for the off-site sale of beer and wine in a mini-
market. The proposed use is permitted in the C-3A
district subject to approval of the Conditional Use Per-
mit. The proposal is consistent with the Interim Policy
Document land use designation of CG General Commercial.
The application for Conditional Use Permit No. 88-42
had been considered by the Planning Commission on
September 20, 1988. Several landowners and the Police
Department testified against the application. A major
concern was the negative effect this project might have on
Nicholson City Park and the neighboring mobile home park.
The Planning Commission voted a three to three split vote
for denial, and the application was effectively denied.
The Mayor opened the hearing.
.
23
10/24/88
.
Lt. Curtis of the S.B. Police Department, opposed the
Conditional Use Permit based on the close proximity to
Nicholson Park, which is heavily used year round by the
youth for football and baseball and the fact that there
is also a youth center located at the park. He offered
some conditions that the Council should impose if they
decide to overrule the Planning Commission and grant the
CUP.
Lt. Curtis answered questions regarding the gang
activity in the area stating that there have been problems
in Nicholson Park.
David Moore, Schneider Commercial Real Estate, repre-
senting Mr. and Mrs. Ibrahim, the tenants of the
mini-market, stated that the State of California ABC
allows for up to two additional beer and wine licenses in
this area.
Mr. Moore explained that residents in the area are
in need of a market that is convenient and within walking
distance of their homes.
Mr. Moore addressed the issue of the sale of single
cans of beer and wine.
.
Detective R. A. Rice spoke of the potential problems
with the issuance of the CUP and provided a list of condi-
tions as requested by the Police Department if the Condi-
tional Use Permit were granted.
Deputy City Attorney Empeno stated that the City
Attorney's office is not recommending approval or denial
of this permit but is concerned about any potential crime
problems if this permit is approved. He explained the
conditional use permit process for the sale of alcoholic
beverages.
Deputy City Attorney Empeno gave some suggested con-
ditions that have been adopted by other cities to make
sure that the CUP does not pose a detriment to the health,
safety and welfare of the people. In this situation there
is concern for the immediate consumption of alcoholic
beverages in the parking lot, streets, sidewalk or the
park. One solution is to restrict the sale of single cans
or to limit the total floor area or gross receipts allot-
ted to sales of alcohol. Another is to restrict alcohol
sales to the rear of the store.

David Moore, representing the developer and business
owners, answered questions stating that the issue raised
by the Police Department on loitering and litter, would

agree to keep the area free of litter and debris, not to
have video games, not allow any public phones inside or
outside the store, not sell ice in quantities of less than
five pounds, and not sell distilled spirits.

4)
750 ml.
No wine shall be sold in containers of less than
5) All ice shall be sold at or about prevailing
prices in the area and in quantities of not less than five
pounds per sale.
Discussion ensued regarding containers of less than
750 mI. and the sale of wine coolers.
David Moore stated that the hours of operation will
be limited in order to have a business like atmosphere not
to add to the problem of loitering.
Deputy City Attorney Empeno stated that conditions
can be added to the permit in order to establish a review
process after six months or a year. Once a Conditional
use Permit has been granted, unless there is evidence of
violations, a hearing would be required to place further
conditions on the establishment.
Council Member Flores made a motion, seconded by
Council Member Estrada and unanimously carried, that the
hearing be closed.

AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF COLTON - CITRUS AVENUE
In a memorandum dated October 10, 1988, Roger
Hardgrave, Director of Public Works/Engineer inn. Rrated
that Tract No. 13457 is a 208 lot subdivision, north of
Colton City Limits. A plan has been developed to

Mayor of Colton, stated that the Cities of San Bernardino
and Colton have entered into a joint powers agreement to
construct a major storm drain system along Citrus Street
in the vicinity of Meridian and Laurel Streets. The storm
drain system will provide drainage capacity for the
Forecast Mortgage Company development, Tract No. 13457.
.
Mayor Gonzales requested on behalf of the district,
the pass through of any drainage fees which the City of

district's special fund and will be used to reduce the
special tax paid by district residents.
