Council Member/Commissioner Kelley stated that he had received an e-mail
from two residents who had questions as to whether there is a conflict of interest
regarding Joseph E. Bonadiman & Associates doing this work if they own
property in the area.
Valerie Ross, Director of Development Services, stated that if there was a
Capital Improvement Project (CIP) where the City had need of surveying
services that were near, or on, or adjacent to property owned by Bonadiman or
anyone else, they would go to the next company on the list.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Brinker, that said resolution be adopted. No vote was
taken.
When asked by Council Member/Commissioner McCammack as to how staff
would know this information, Ms. Ross explained that there is language that
requires them to tell the City if such a situation exists. She stated that it not
only has to do with owning property in proximity to the project, but could be a
situation where they are working for a private developer while working for the
City, and that would be a concern for the City also.
City Attorney Pemnan stated that he also had received the e-mail in his office;
however, he did not have an answer for this inquiry because he did not know
what properties are owned in that area by Mr. Bonadiman and any of his
companies and partnerships. He stated that his advice would be to continue the
matter until his office can look into the matter and report back to the Council on
whether or not there is a conflict of interest.
Discussion ensued wherein it was suggested that additiona11anguage be added to
the agreements to preclude any real or perceived conflicts of interests by
companies or individuals under contract to the City.
9
08/1812008
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley made a substitute motion, seconded by
Council Member/Commissioner Brinker, that the matter be continued to the
Council/Commission meeting of September 2, 2008; and that additional
language be added to the agreements stating that these "consultants" be required
to report to the Director of Development Services any additional properties they
obtain while under agreement with the City and identify any projects they are
working on for a third party that could constitute a real or perceived conflict.
The motion carried unanimously.

budget for fiscal year 2008-2009 and establishing the City's appropriation
limit as required by Article XXIII of the California State Constitution.
Note: Budget continuing resolution not distributed with backup materials.
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada stated she would prefer to address only
the sections that involve the community centers and Project Phoenix, but she
was not sure how they could extrapolate this information from the total budget
to allow for a continuation for a certain period of time only in order to be able
to get answers back from the departments.
City Attorney Penman noted that three Council members had expressed concern
that they had not received this budget in time to review it. Also, his office had
just received it late this morning, and they had not read or signed the resolution.
He recommended that the matter be continued for two weeks; and that a
continuing resolution which had been prepared by his office be adopted by the
Council today.
Deputy City Clerk Sutherland read the title of the continuing resolution into the
record.

08/18/2008

Member/Conunissioner Brinker, that the continuing resolution be adopted, and
that the matter be continued to the CouncillConunission meeting of September

summary or analysis outlining the total costs for operating Operation Phoenix
and the other conununity centers, including any contributions by the Economic
Development Agency and any collaborative grants that are part of the overall
income and expenditure of Operation Phoenix and the conununity centers.
Ms. Estrada also asked Ms. McCammack for copies of documents that had been
provided to her by City Manager Wilson relative to Operation Phoenix.
Ms. Estrada asked for an explanation of when there is a collaborative effort
initiated and we sign on to it, how do we account for the funds received versus
the services received.
The motion carried and continuing Resolution No. 2008-336 was adopted
unanimously.

26. Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
Bernardino authorizing the City Manager to execute a Use of Facilities
Agreement between the City of San Bernardino and California State
University, San Bernardino providing for the University's use of Fiscalini
Field.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack stated that she would abstain on
this item because California State University, San Bernardino is a business
client. She left the dais and returned after the vote was taken.
Discussion ensued wherein it was noted that the agreement actually specifies
particular dates and times for which the University will have use of the field,
but does not preclude other groups from utilizing the field at other times.
Additionally, it calls for Ca1 State to provide several upgrades and
improvements to the field.
Council Member/Commissioner Baxter made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Brinker, that said resolution be adopted. No vote was
taken.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley verified with staff that Pony League
would be able to use the field and would not be displaced as they have been in
the past.
The following individuals spoke in opposition to the reso1ution/agreement:
Mike Williford, 2803 Akron Street, San Bernardino, CA;
Scott Workman, 3316 "D" Street, San Bernardino, CA;
Arthur Solis, 1488 West Baseline Street, San Bernardino, CA;
Jason Gopperton, 263 East 35th Street, San Bernardino, CA
Some of their concerns were that the contract is too vague relative to when other
entities can use the field; the contract period is too long; the displacement of 250
individua1slp1ayers to accommodate 25 college players; their belief that it will
kill the San Bernardino Adult Baseball League; loss of income to surrounding
businesses from those currently using the field; etc.
Council Member/Commissioner Kelley asked if relative to this agreement there
was a scheduling committee so everyone knows when the fields will be available
and who will be using them and at what time. If not, he suggested that they
look at The Blast agreement because there is a scheduling component to that
agreement.
13
08/18/2008
Dr. Kevin Hatcher, Cal State Athletics, 5500 University Parkway, San
Bernardino, CA, stated that this is one of the ways they are looking to partner
with the City. He stated that the contract allows the City to schedule around
their games except for conference games that are predetermined. He stated that
most of their use will be from January to mid-May-the remainder of the year
the City is free to schedule whoever they want. He stated that they are putting
in $17,500 to help with the upkeep and maintenance of the field every year
along with what they have estimated to be about $100,000 in improvements to
the field.
Assistant City Manager Sassoon recommended a two-week continuance.
Council Mernber/Commissioner Baxter made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Kelley, that the matter be continued to the
Council/Commission meeting of September 2, 2008. The motion carried.

Safety/UC Berkeley Traffic Safety in the amount of $92,241.00, and

Council Member/Commissioner Johnson made a motion, seconded by Council

08/18/2008
31. RES. 2008-335 - Resolution of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the
purchase and instaUation of a replacement jail doors control console from
Rockwell Controls, Inc., of Fullerton, California, pursuant to Chapter
3.04.010 (b)(3) of the Municipal Code and authorizing a budget amendment
and transfer.
City Attorney Penman noted that when the Mayor and Council were going
through the budget one of the discussions was whether they were going to
continue operating the jail; and he questioned whether it was their desire to keep
the jail going.
Police Chief Billdt explained that there is a likelihood that booking fees will not
be reimbursed, and if that is the case the City will have to pay $89.66 per
booking. He stated that if the booking fee reimbursement is eliminated. the City
will spend $145.000 more for booking fees than if we maintained our jail.
Secondly, our jail was built in 1996 under the Bureau of Prison's 1996
regulations. If we have more than a temporary closure of the jail and then
decide to reopen it, we will have to bring it up to the 2008 Bureau of Prison
standards; and the capital outlay to bring it up to those standards is going to be
substantial.
When making their decision, he asked the Council to consider that if we do
explore "pay to stay" jail status with Corrections Systems, Inc. out of Houston,
we need the jail doors fixed anyway. He stated that he had presented this item
as part of the department's budget preparations, but because of the tough fiscal
times their request to expend monies to replace the system was blue-lined.
Shortly thereafter the control console failed. He stated that the question is, if
we permanently close the jail, what would it cost to bring it back to the
standards under the 2008 guidelines.
Chief Billdt stated that he thought it would be fiscally responsible to spend the
money in the context of these issues. However, if it's something the Council
wanted to deliberate further, he would recommend they not deliberate too long
because he does not want to get permanent closed jail status.
Council Member/Comrnissioner McCammack made a motion, seconded by
Council Member/Commissioner Baxter, that said resolution be adopted; and that
the Director of Finance be authorized to process a budget amendment moving
$90,700 from Account No. 001-228-5505 (Other Professional Services) to
Account No. 001-228-5704 (Capital Outlay-Other Equipment). The motion
carried and Resolution No. 2008-335 was adopted unanimously.

unanimously.
