between the City of San Bernardino and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. for the
provision of banking services and the deposit of monies for one year
beginning July 1, 2006 and ending June 30,2007.
Council Member/Conunissioner Derry expressed concerns relative to renewing
the agreement between the City and Wells Fargo Bank due to the fact that Wells
Fargo has a policy wherein they will no longer fund scouting.
Council Member/Conunissioner Derry made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Kelley, that the Council reject the motion for approval
and send the matter out to bid. (Note: There was no vote taken.)
Council Member/Conunissioner McGinnis noted that the approval was only for
a one-year contract, and he thought the issue could be addressed at that time.
Council Member/Conunissioner McCanunack stated that she was inclined to
agree with Mr. Derry, but for a different reason-the City was not looking at
local vendors.
City Treasurer Kennedy pointed out that the City requires some very powerful
services, and the last time they went out to bid a number of the local banks
could not provide what the City needed. He also noted that it takes several
months to go through the bid process; therefore, a certain amount of lead time
would be required.
Council Member/Conunissioner Derry suggested that the Council extend the
current agreement for four months and go out for an RFP for new services
beyond that expressed date.
Council Member/Conunissioner McCanunack reconunended a six-month
extension to the agreement.

10
06/19/2006
Because the location of the stop sign is within 500 feet of their residences,
Mayor/Chairman Morris and Council Member/Commissioner McCammack
stated that they would abstain on this matter and left the Council Chambers,
returning after the vote was taken.
Council Member/Commissioner Derry stated that he had no problem with the
existing stop sign.
Council Member/Commissioner Derry made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Baxter, to reject said resolution. (Note: There was no
vote taken.)
Antoinette J. Haldorsen, 3695 Valencia Avenue, San Bernardino, CA, quoted
from and submitted copies of two letters she sent to City Engineer Mark
Lancaster dated January 26, 2006 and February 27, 2006; and also a letter she
sent to Council Member/Commissioner McCammack dated April 17, 2006,
wherein she expressed her reasons for wanting to see the stop sign removed-
impedes natural flow of traffic, increased noise, difficulty getting in and out of
her driveway, etc.
City Attorney Penman pointed out that adoption of the resolution would
authorize removal of the stop sign; therefore, if there were members of the
Council who wanted the stop sign to remain, the way to handle it would be for a
Council member to make a motion to adopt the proposed resolution, and those
wanting the stop sign to remain should then vote against adoption of said
resolution.
Council Member/Commissioner Derry withdrew his motion.
Council Member/Commissioner Derry made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Baxter, that said resolution be adopted.
The motion failed by the following vote: Ayes: Council Member/

McCammack. Absent: Council Member/Commissioner Johnson.

48. RES. 2006-232 - Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City
of San Bernardino authorizing the Mayor to execute a Cooperative
Agreement with Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
establishing the City of San Bernardino as a compass 2% strategy
demonstration community, and authorizing the City Manager to execute
grant documents.
Karen Gulley, Director from The Planning Center, representing SCAG,
provided an overview of what it would mean for the City of San Bernardino to
be a Compass 2 % Strategy Demonstration Community.
Ms. Gulley explained that SCAG undertook a comprehensive regional visioning
exercise in 2003/2004, which tried to examine the new growth trends in the
five-county region and ultimately culminated with the adoption of a growth
vision report. This new vision is expected to accommodate the projected six
million new residents expected to come and live within our region by 2030 and
is driven by four key principles-mobility, livability, prosperity, and
sustainability. She stated that the implementation of this vision involves the
individual actions of all the different local jurisdictions, so to support this effort,
SCAG adopted what they call a Compass 2% Strategy, and this strategy
embodies the idea that smaller, incremental, focused changes in the various
locations throughout the region can yield substantial benefits in terms of
mobility and economic growth throughout the region.
She stated that this strategy involves a series of what SCAG calls demonstration
projects, which are funded by SCAG and intended to embody the compass
principles. They are currently in Phase I of the demonstration projects, and
Phase II will begin after July. In addition to this first set of demonstration
projects, it was her understanding that both SCAG and SANBAG had just
entered into an agreement to bring an additional $350,000 to the table to add
additional demonstration projects, specifically for San Bernardino County. She
advised that the City of San Bernardino had submitted an application for Phase
I, and the application had been crafted into a more formal scope of work, which
the Council had before them tonight.
26
06/19/2006
Ms. Gulley stated that the scope of work is really broken down into two basic
components. The first component, that they are initiating right now, is what is
called an Economic Development Analysis on some key sites within the
downtown area. In general, their scope of work is focusing in the downtown
area, but more specifically within a quarter mile radius of the City's future "E"
Street transit station at "E" Street and Rialto.
She noted, however, that the Economic Development Analysis that they are
going to be doing is looking at two sites-one across from the existing
Metrolink station, in the 7.75 acres just directly south; the other site is directly
north of the future "E" Street station and it is almost eight acres as well. For
both of these sites, what they are going to be doing is evaluating the [mancial
feasibility of several development scenarios, working with staff to evaluate what
the highest and best use of development can be on those parcels. She stated
that, typically, they look at all aspects of the development-the developer costs,
the revenues and the expected returns-so they can really understand the
proforma associated with each of these development scenarios. And this will be
part of the basis for them to move into the more specific transit station area
exercise.
Ms. Gulley advised that the second aspect of the scope of work is the kind of
transit village, visioning effort they are going to be doing at the City's future
"E" Street station and the conceptual plarming effort within that station. She
stated that they generally start with that area within a quarter mile radius, which
represents a convenient five-minute walk to a transit station. She stated that the
main concept here is that you want to intensify development within a quarter
mile, making it extremely convenient for anyone living or working within this
area to be able to get to the new transit station. She explained that it is a way to
promote ridership, and also a way to ensure that people who want to travel from
outside of the area and come to the station can easily get onto a bus or walk to
their destination within the transit-oriented design (TOD) area.
She stated that this is, in essence, what they will be doing-looking at
conceptual alternatives for design within the station area. However, to the
extent that there are other development opportunities just outside that area, they
will fold those in. Also, in addition to the conceptual design effort, they will be
involved in a public outreach effort, going to the City's stakeholders and to its
landowners; and they will also be coming back to the Council for some
feedback.
Ms. Gulley advised that finally, this effort would involve an implementation
strategy-that this is really just a first step at looking at transit station plarming
in this area. What they want to end up with is an implementation strategy-the
next steps the City needs to take-whether they be more focused traffic studies,
more coordination with the right transit agencies, or other kinds of efforts
27
06/19/2006
needed-whether it be regulatory or otherwise-whatever steps are needed to
really get a more focused development plan on the ground over time.
She stated that with this demonstration project they hope to move along
throughout the summer and have something ready in the next three to four
months.
Mayor/Chairman Morris pointed out that the compass blueprint directions for
growth program envisioned by SCAG dovetails beautifully with the City's own
ideas about intensified use of the downtown assets, or our multi-modal transit
center will essentially be the anchor for the entire east valley of this 90-mile
long Los Angeles Basin.
He noted that as you look at the compass blueprint, you see that San Bernardino
is a regional center. He stated that at one site-the multi-modal center-we will
have not only our Metrolink station with departures to Los Angeles and Orange
County, but we'll also have our high-speed bus line from Cal State University to
Lorna Linda University. We will also have the centerpoint for our OmniTrans
bus line; the starting and ending point for the MART A, the mountain
transportation system; and the starting and ending point for our light rail system
from our city to Lorna Linda and into Redlands.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that it is a magnificent opportunity for the City,
as we enter this world of more congestion, loss of open space, and loss of
livability as perceived by our own constituents, to restore a sense that we have a
livable region where we use wisely the land that we have.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that early on before this
whole compass issue was brought to life, she had some questions regarding that
particular site, in that she didn't want just another Greyhound bus station
situation to be moved from one location (which has created some real problems
for our downtown corridor), to another location that might create similar
problems-especially with all the money that has been invested and is still being
invested downtown.
She stated that her concern is that it will eventually turn into exactly what our
Greyhound bus station is today-which the Mayor and other Council members
are now trying to demolish and move, while also getting rid of the businesses
that are causing some of the problems as well. She stated that she had
reservations from the beginning, and she still has reservations-not to say,
however, that the project in and of itself isn't philosophically wonderful-and
the application, the grant possibilities, and the planning that has gone on has all
been with good intentions. However, she has a concern that she needed to
register and put on the record.
28
06/19/2006
Council Member/Conunissioner Derry stated that he understood Ms.
McCanunack's conunents and agreed with many of her concerns; however, in
deference to the Mayor and his interest in this project, and the potential viability
of this project, he believed the Council should give it a good shot.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that he was genuinely excited at the opportunity
to create not an asphalt bus stop, but a multi-modal center in which the air space
over the center will be a Class A office building that will have a vibrant life to
it. He stated that we will have intensified land use, which will include podium
style development and mixed use downtown, not unlike other urbanized areas
from Old Town Pasadena to coastal cities where there is a sense of living
together in a more intensified way; and this makes sense because we have access
to good modern high-speed transport systems and a quality of life that we don't
see in most of our urban centers.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
Staff Present: Mayor/Chairman Morris; Council Members/Commissioners Estrada,
Baxter, McGinnis, Derry, Kelley, McCammack; City Attorney Penman, Economic
Development Agency Executive Director Pacheco and Special Counsel Sabo, City
Clerk Clark. Absent: Council Member/Commissioner Johnson.
R50. RES. CDC/2006-18 - Resolution of the Community Development
Commission of the City of San Bernardino approving and authorizing the
Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of San
Bernardino ("Agency") to execute the Redevelopment Project Study and
Redevelopment Assistance Agreement with AGA Properties, LLC
("Developer") (Central City North Redevelopment Project Area).
Agency Executive Director Pacheco stated that the purpose of this 12-month
study agreement is to study the development possibilities of the northwest and
northeast corners of 6th and "G" Streets-that they will be exploring a residential
development which could include condos, townhouses, or mixed use consistent
with the CR-2 zone.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that she had confirmed
with Ms. Pacheco that HOME funds had been used to purchase this land; and
HOME funds have a restriction to place only low-income housing on that
property unless the Agency pays that money back to the HOME fund itself,
which would be about $295,000. She questioned whether the Council, as a
body, was prepared to agree to low-income housing for this area, or would they
want to consider paying the money back upfront, enabling them to develop
anything they want in terms of regular market-rate housing.
.
Ms. Pacheco stated that the northeast corner of 6th and "G" Streets is a property
that was purchased by the Redevelopment Agency with HOME dollars, which
are federally restricted funds; and the purpose of the HOME program is to
provide housing opportunities for the low-income population. She advised that
there can be a mixture of housing, but Ms. McCammack had made a true
statement with regard to the use of HOME money. She added that this site was
located in a Redevelopment Project Area, wherein under redevelopment law the
Agency has an obligation to provide low- and moderate-income opportunities for
its residents, in addition to market rate housing.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada asked where else in recent times the
Agency had used HOME funds in the local area.
30
06/19/2006
Ms. Pacheco replied that the Agency was using HOME dollars to purchase the
fiveplex north of the northeast corner of 6th and "G" Streets. Also, they are
currently exploring the probable acquisition of a church site on "G" Street and
proposing to use HOME dollars for that as well.
She added that HOME dollars had also been used for St. Bernardine's senior
project, as well as the senior complexes that have been built on "F" and "G"
and "H" Streets. Additionally, in the Meadowbrook area, HOME funds were
used for the purpose of providing down payment assistance to some of the new
home buyers.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada stated that the point she wanted to
make was that these funds are being used in different ways and in different parts
of the downtown area, where the City has already begun to see positive results
from the use of these funds-particularly around the Meadowbrook area. She
stated that she would hate to have the label of low-income housing detract from
what is actually being done with these funds, thereby diminishing any potential
creativity in terms of using the funds.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that he thought it was critical to understand that
creativity is at work in downtown, and the Meadowbrook project is but one
example of the creative use of these funds. Additionally, mixed-use housing is
possible using HOME funds, and we have used these funds to create a
wonderful set of retirement homes in the downtown corridor for elderly with
limited income. He stated that it is critical that we use these funds in the
creative way that we have been doing, and this project is just another extension
of that possibility.
Council Member/Commissioner Derry asked whether, in the future, if the City
paid back the money to the HOME fund, would the City be able to use the
property for any market purpose that it chose?
Ms. Pacheco stated that the development would have to be consistent with the
land use, and the HOME money would have to be paid back with interest from
the date that the Agency drew down the funds. She pointed out, however, that
the use of federal funds or Agency housing funds does not diminish the quality
of the housing-it simply provides for a variety of housing for persons of all
income groups.
Council Member/Commissioner McCamrnack asked Ms. Pacheco whether she
thought this developer had any interest in building additional senior complexes
at this location.
31
06/19/2006
Ms. Pacheco stated that it was certainly something they could look at; however,
given the number of senior housing units that have already been built in the
downtown area, she was not sure that the site would be appropriate for senior
housing.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley stated that he thought Meadowbrook
was a good project, and he asked whether that was what they could expect to see
at this location-something similar to Meadowbrook. He also noted that the
question of low-income had been raised, and he asked if the typical 120 percent
median income was what they were potentially looking at for the future of this
area.
Ms. Pacheco stated that it would probably be a more intensified use than
Meadowbrook, since the zoning is different; and that is why they are looking at
condos, or townhomes, or perhaps a mixture of development. She also
explained that 80 percent of median income was the maximum for HOME
dollars and 120 percent for housing funds.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner McGinnis, that said resolution be adopted.
Resolution No. CDC/2006-18 was adopted by the following vote: Ayes:
Council Members/Commissioners Estrada, Baxter, McGinnis, Derry, Kelley.
Nays: Council Member/Commissioner McCammack. Absent: Council
Member/Commissioner Johnson.
R51. Resolution of the Conununity Development Commission of the City of San
Bernardino approving and authorizing the Executive Director of the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino ("Agency") to: (1)
execute the Vehide Parking License Agreement by and between the County
of San Bernardino ("County") and the Agency for the use of a portion of
247 West 3" Street, San Bernardino and (2) appropriate $180,000 to fund
the Agency portion of the landscaping improvements from the Community
Reinvestment Fund (CRF) as noted in this Staff Report (Central City East
Redevelopment Project Area).
Mayor/Chairman Morris advised that this was the property the Agency has been
holding, hoping to construct a new justice center for our county. He stated that
his office has researched in great depth the possibilities of doing that sooner
than later, however, there is little interest in the legislature or the governor's
office to move ahead with courthouse construction. .
32
06/19/2006
.:(.3':....'
He stated that the initiatives that will b.e seen on the ballot this fall contain no
money for court structure, and there is little interest on the part of the County
Board to invest in courthouse construction beyond the requirements of
earthquake safety.
Mayor/Chairman Morris advised that the City had been requested by the County
Board to consider using at least a portion of this land for a surface parking
facility for courthouse jury use; and if approved by the Council, it would be
ready for our activities here during the Route 66 Rendezvous.
Council Member/Commissioner McGinnis made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Derry, that said resolution be adopted. (Note: No vote
was taken.)
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada stated she had a concern with the
resolution on page 2, section 2, where it states, "The Commission hereby
authorizes the Agency Executive Director to execute the Agreement with the
County and to execute any such other documents as may be necessary to
implement the Agreement and to make any necessary non-substantive changes to
the Agreement as may be approved by Agency Counsel. . ." She stated that she
had a problem with the authority being so broad.
Ms. Pacheco advised that this was standard language in most of their
resolutions; however, in this particular case, Mr. Sabo and Mr. Penman had
discussed adding an approval whereby the Agency Executive Director would
have the authority to make modifications with the consent of the Mayor, as well
as Agency Counsel. That way, the Executive Director and the Mayor,
concurrently with the Agency Counsel, would review any possible changes.
She stated that this language would actually be reflected in several sections of
the agreement that talk about giving the Agency Executive Director that consent
authority, and so they would add language to include the concurrence of the
Mayor to various sections of the agreement.
Ms. Estrada pointed out that the language says, to execute any such other
documents; and she believed that any such other documents needed to be
brought before the Commission for approval.
Mayor/Chairman Morris stated that where the problem comes in, is that the
Mayor and Council meet every other week; and if this project is going to
proceed with dispatch to be completed on or before the time of the rendezvous,
they need to authorize someone to sign required documentation, if amendments
or modifications are required.
33
06/19/2006
Ms. Pacheco stated that she did not foresee any substantive changes, or any
changes in general, coming forward at this time, since County Counsel had
already reviewed the document. She stated that the only thing she could
anticipate at this point, was the possibility that when the project is bid, it would
come in at a cost in excess of the $180,000; and at that point in time the matter
would have to come back to this Commission.
Council Member/Commissioner McCanunack stated that her number one
concern was the insertion or removal of some language, slight as it may be, to
ensure that any obviously fiscal or economic differences would come back for
Commission approval. She also noted that in all of the paperwork it was not
made clear that there was a timetable to build this in time for the Route 66
Rendezvous.
Ms. Pacheco advised that, given the time constraints with this particular item, it
would be her recommendation that the Council remove that particular language
from the resolution and the document, because the contract has already been
approved by County Counsel; and since the changes requested by County
Counsel had been incorporated into the document, she did not really anticipate
any changes to the document that was being presented to the Commission.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada pointed out that this was a two-part
authority-the first part was to execute any such other documents; the second
part was to make any necessary nonsubstantive changes.
Special Counsel Sabo stated that he was going to suggest that in the second line,
the words, "and to execute any such other documents as may be necessary to
implement the Agreement" be deleted; then leave in the next phrase, "as may be
approved by Agency Counsel" and add "with the concurrence of the Mayor;"
and then delete the last phrase starting with the word "provided."
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada asked if the item could be continued
until the next day, since the Council/Commission had already scheduled a
budget meeting for that day; and maybe they could get everything ironed out by
then.
Council Member/Commissioner McGinnis made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Derry, that they rescind their original motion. (Note:
No vote was taken.)
Council Member/Commissioner Baxter made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Estrada, that the matter be continued to the

55. Public Comments
Jay Lindberg, 6340 Orange Knoll, San Bernardino, CA, spoke regarding
random drug testing for law enforcement personnel and Drug Free Zones, and
stated that he did not think the Operation Phoenix program would work out, due
to a lack of funds.
Tom Kanovos, 1962 Turrill Avenue, San Bernardino, CA, suggested taking the
money out of drugs by paying informants a percentage of the take-that way the
informants have reason to go out and get the dealers; and disputed that fact that
the house on 48th Street is a parolee house-stating that it is a sober living
house, with nothing but recovering addicts who are trying to stay sober, who are
not a threat to children.
Joe Rodriguez, representing Congressman Joe Baca's office, advised of a
Citizenship Day Workshop to be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July
I, at the National Orange Show in San Bernardino. It will feature workshops
led by members of congress and community groups to provide assistance to
legal permanent residents who wish to take the first steps toward becoming
naturalized U.S. citizens.
John Stevens, P.O. Box 24, Tecopa, CA spoke regarding fireworks, stating
that terrorists can go to Nevada and buy all the explosives they need in
Nevada-that these are Class C explosives; and asked the Council to check it
out.
Gil Navarro, 1440 West 6th Street, San Bernardino, CA asked the Mayor for
intervention on behalf of residents on the Westside in getting City departments
to respond to their requests for service and help-that they are asking for
minimum services.
Betty Jean Long, spoke regarding the importance of keeping the flag at City
Hall; and the fact that the Jack in the Box restaurant at 5th and "0" Streets opens
at 6 a.m., but does not open its restroorns, creating a hardship for the homeless
who use these facilities.
Timothy Prince, 290 North "0" Street, San Bernardino, CA spoke regarding
the cost of doing business in San Bernardino. He advised that Larry Kosmont,
who is on the State Redevelopment Commission, annually surveys what it costs
to do business in California cities and across the nation. He noted that
California, as a state, is one of the highest spots to do business, not only in the
United States, but compared to several other countries. The good news is that
the Inland Empire is one of the most competitive and lowest cost areas in which
37

to do business as a region. However, the bad news is that San Bernardino is
tied as the highest cost city in which to do business in the Inland Empire.
Danny Flores, founder of Salute to the Route, 2060 Mesa, San Bernardino,
CA, suggested soliciting money from all the patriotic residents in the city to
cover the costs of displaying the large flag on the side of City Hall.
Lyman Stuckey, 1873 Pumalo, San Bernardino, CA voiced support for
displaying the large flag on the side of City Hall as suggested by Councilman
Kelley and encouraged the Council to fly said flag.
56. Adjournment
At 6:27 p.m. the meeting adjourned to Tuesday, June 20, 2006, in the
Economic Development Agency Boardroom, 201 North "E" Street, San

2. Budget deliberations - Fiscal Year 2006-07 - discuss and take possible
action concerning proposed City budget
RES, 2006-235 - Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council approving
and adopting the City of San Bernardino's Final Budget for Fiscal Year
2006-2007 and establishing the City's appropriation limit as required by
Article XXIII B of the California State Constitution. (2A)
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
Bernardino, CA, authorizing the City of San Bernardino to continue
expenditures into the 2006-07 Fiscal Year at the same budgeted level as the
2005-06 Fiscal Year, pending final approval of the 2006-07 Budget. (2B)
Note: Resolution 2B was not distributed.
City Manager Wilson directed the Council's attention to a memorandum which
he had provided to them dated June 28, 2006, which summarized the changes to
the preliminary budget being recommended by staff. He stated that there had
been some discussion at the last budget workshop regarding the issue of revenue
projections, and that staff had discussed the matter with Council Member
McCammack; however, staff was not recommending any modifications to the
projected revenues at this time. Mr. Wilson stated that with the help of the
Economic Development Agency staff had identified some additional revenues,
resulting in about $700,000 that had been "freed up" for other purposes.
Director of Finance Pachon provided a summary of the source of the $700,000.
She stated that part of it was from costs that the City picked up a few years back
when the Agency was having some difficulties, that the Agency will again take
over-things like the South Valle debt service payment and some costs that the
Agency used to pay the City to help cover the Mayor's office. The City will
also lower the CATV rent paid to the Agency by a small amount.
Ms. Pachon advised that about $330,000 of the $700,000 would come from
sales tax sharing agreements between the City and the Agency. She explained
that the way those agreements work is that when the projects reach a certain
level of producing sales tax, the City then shares that sales tax with the Agency.
However, based upon a recent report from the City's sales tax consultant, it had
been determined that within the next year at least two of these projects were not
projected to reach the level of having the sales tax agreements kick in;
therefore, that was money the City had budgeted to pay the Agency that would
not have to be paid in this next fiscal year.
