Reauest for CDBG Assistmce Submitted bv Parks. Recreation md Communi tv Services DeDartment (Mayor and C_ COUllcil) Kenneth J. Henderson, Executive Director, briefed the Council on the requests for mid-year funded CDBG projects. He stated that on December 4, 1990, the Community Development Citizen Advisory Committee (CDCAC) considered this request and unanimOUSly recommended approval to the Mayor and Common Council of the proposal submitted by Parks, Recreation and Community Services. If approved by the Mayor and Common Council, the action would reduce the CDBG Appropriated Reserve Account fund balance from $1,128,242 to $1,038.240. He commented that Wayne Overstreet, Director of Facilities Management, indicated the repairs desperately needed to be completed prior to the rainy season. Mayor Holcomb informed the Council that the loan request was for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, which is federal money with restrictions as to how it can be spent. CDBG funds can be used for both parks because the projects meet the federal guidelines governing the use of CDBG funds. The Community Development Block Grant is an annual allotment or entitlement the City receives every year from the federal government and is the only ongoing federal assistance program that is still operational. The City receives about $1,500,000 each year. Mr. Henderson added that the Development Department (formerly Community Development) has been averaging about $1.7 million dollars the last few years. This program has been so successful on a national level that it has been reauthorized and the amount of funds has been increased for next year. Council Member Reilly made a motion, seconded by Council Member Flores, to approve financial assistance from its CDBG Appropriated Reserve account in the amount of $40,000 to finance the rehabilitation of roofs for Mill and Ruben Hernandez Parks Community Centers, and approve financial assistance in the amount of $50,000 for the replacement of the heating and air-conditioning system at Ruben Hernandez Park. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members Estrada; Reilly; Flores; Maudsley; Minor; Pope-Ludlam; Miller. Noes: None. Abstain: None. Absent: None.

Small Business Loan with Inland Wheel and Tire (Mayor and Co_on C01Dlcil) The Mayor said that these funds would be from Comm1Dlity Development Block Grant monies which is for small business loans. This request is from Inland Wheel and Tire Company. If this loan is granted the Company will expand and hire more people. Council Member Flores asked if the inventory and accounts receivable that is being furnished as collateral to secure the loan was expendable inventory. Kenneth J. Henderson said that if the Council approved this item, the collateral that is indicated in the staff report would be secured by the appropriate UCC-I and UCC-2 Forms that are filed with the Secretary of State Office. So, if in fact we had to recover the equipment for whatever purposes, our interest would be secured by one or both of those two forms. Council Member Miller made a motion, seconded by Council Member Minor, to approve and adopt the following resolution: Resolution No. 90-490 RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE EXECUTION OF A SMALL BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT AND INLAND WHEEL AND TIRE COMPANY.

COMMISSION MINUTES ADJOURNED REGULAR DECEMBER 10, 1990 5245R(dlm) - 4 - . . . 7. Platt BuildillJ[ (C~ity Develo.-ent C~ission) Chairman Holcomb requested this matter be continued until the first meeting in January because he had been contacted by a real estate broker who may have a user for most of that building. If this is the case, a study would not be conducted and the City would save $15,000, as a result of not having to retain this consultant. Chairman Holcomb requested that the motion to authorize the Development Department to obtain proposals from qualified consultants to prepare a feasibility study for the restoration and adaptive re-use of the Platt Building be deferred. Commission Member Flores made a motion, seconded by Commission Member Estrada, to continue this item until the first meeting in January, 1991. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commission Members Estrada; Reilly; Flores; Maudsley; Minor; Pope-Ludlam; Miller. Noes: None. Abstain: None. Absent: None. RS-I. Develonment Devartment ReorRanization . (Co__ity Developllent C~ission) and (Mayor and Coamon Council) Kenneth J. Henderson provided background on the establishment of the Economic Development Agency and consolidation of the Community Development Department and Redevelopment Agency into the Development Department. He reviewed the staff report which noted significant points supporting the proposal to approve and adopt the three (3) divisional organizational structure, over the recently approved four (4) divisional organizational structure. Mr. Henderson stated an important aspect of this consolidation is that the Development Division would be supervised directly by the Deputy Director, while the two (2) remaining divisions, Housing and Administrative services, would report directly to the Executive Director. This type of structure has several significant advantages over the current four (4) divisional structure, as follows: 1. Requires the Deputy Director to playa significant and active role in project development. Under the current structure, the Deputy Director would more likely be consigned to a purely administrative role. Additionally, the likelihood of this position in becoming a "bottleneck" is greatly lessened under the proposed arrangement. . 2. Reduces the number of divisions from four (4) to three (3). 3. Reduces the number of division heads from four (4) to two (2). COMMISSION MINUTES DECEMBER 10, 1990 ADJOURNED REGULAR - 5 - 5245R(dlm) . . . . . 4. Completely separstes the contract administration/contract compliance functions from the community development, redevelopment, housing development and business development functions. At present, development professionals are required to assist in developing, negotiating, implementing and monitoring various agreements approved by the Council/Commission. This last area of responsibility, monitoring (contract administration/compliance) is one which would be taken completely out of the Development and Housing Divisions and placed in the Administrative Services Division. No longer would we have the prospect of development professionals being busy "pushing paper" at the expense of generating new development projects. The sole responsibility of the development professionals would be to generate new projects and business for the City. 5. Enables the department to better compete for self-motivated, project manager-type individuals, who will have the most important role to play in the development of new projects/business. . 6. Reduces the overall area of responsibility and span of control of the Deputy Director, which allows for a more concentrated development effort. The staff report also included attachments showing the (I) proposed organizational structure; (2) the existing organizational structure, and; 3) proposed functions to be carried out by the Development, Housing and Administrative Services Divisions. He noted if the proposed organizational structure was approved, a report to the Council/Commission containing recommendations concerning specific staffing levels necessary to effectively and efficiently discharge all the functions assigned to the department, would be submitted at the next meeting. Commission/Council Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by Commission/Council Member Maudsley, to approve and adopt the three divisional organizational structure for the Development Department. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Commission/Council Members Estrada; Reilly; Maudsley; Minor; Pope-Ludlam; Miller. Noes: Commission Member Flores. Abstain: None. Absent: None. 18-2.
