SECTION 1. Findings.
6
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino
7
do find and declare as follows:
8

9
San Bernardino do not pay the City's Utility
10
Users Tax, the City-wide Street Lighting and
11
Street Sweeping Assessment, the various
12 landscaping and lighting district assessments,
13 and the downtown parking district assessments,
14 all placing them at a significant advantage in
15 relation to local firms and businesses which must
16
pay such exactions, when bidding to supply City
17 goods and materials. - In order to equalize the
18 position of all such bidders it is necessary to
19 give local firms and businesses a one percent

( 1$) credit.

22 numbers, including the relocation of the Santa Fe
23 yards out of State, the closure of Norton Air

n
I significantly decreasing the income to the City
2 from sales tax, Utility Users Tax, and license
3 and users fees making it extremely difficult for
4 the City to provide basic health and safety
5 services to all of the residents of the City at
6 a time when crime and vandalism are increasing.
7 It is necessary to encourage local businesses to
8 remain in the City to contribute to the
9 revitalization of San Bernardino, by providing an
10 increased opportunity for them to provide goods
11 and materials to the City.
12 C. In an attempt to encourage businesses to relocate
13 to the City to offset and discourage increasing
14 gang activity, drugs, vandalism, crime, juvenile
15 delinquency, joblessness and the abandonment of
16 whole neighborhoods by their owners and
17 residents, it is necessary to provide an
18 incentive to provide goods and materials to the
19 City.
20 SECTION 2. Section 3.04.125 is hereby added to the San
21 Bernardino Municipal Code to read as follows:
