INTER OFFICE MEMORANDUM
OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
To: Mayor and Common Council
From: James F. Penman
City Attorney
Date: July 1, 2013
Subject: City Attorney Investigator Positions
cc: City Clerk, City Manager, Chief of Police, Director of Human Resources
The City currently has ten part-time City Attorney Investigators. Each is paid an hourly wage of
$32.00 per hour and receive no benefits. There is also one Supervising City Attorney
Investigator, retired San Bernardino County Undersheriff Robert Peppler.
These retired peace officers have temporary peace officer powers through California Penal Code
§836.5 and San Bernardino Municipal Code §9.90.010. Their duties include investigating
violations of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, assisting in the preparation of the City's
defense of cases filed against the City, investigating suspected misconduct of city officials and
employees at the request of, or upon assignment by, the appropriate City official,preparing cases
for prosecution for violations of the Narcotics Abatement Act, the Nuisance Abatement Act and
the Red Light Abatement Act and investigating alleged violations of the California Political
Reform Act pursuant to California Government Code §91001.5. In addition, City Attorney
Investigators staff the transient merchant program seven days a week and provide security at City
Council meetings. Finally, the City Attorney Investigators continue to be the City's primary
enforcement arm on bank foreclosures and absentee landlords, thus serving as the backbone for
the City's Administrative Civil Penalties ordinance.
As of June 4, 2013, the total amounts collected for fiscal year 2012/203 was $838,854.80. City
Attorney Investigators were responsible for$514,051.95 of that amount which was 61%of the
total amount collected in Administrative Civil Penalties (ACPs) from July 1, 2012 through May
31, 2013. Code Enforcement Officers brought in$249,095.34 of the $838,854.80 collected
which was 29.69% of the total collected, followed by Fire Department penalties of$64,201.32
which was 7.65% of the total collected through May 31. The remaining 1.66% was brought in
from ACPs issued by Police Officers ($7,531.19,) Public Works Inspectors ($3,000) Animal
Control Officers ($645) and the City Clerk's Office ($330.)

According to the Finance Department information this morning, for the 2012/2013 fiscal year
wages paid out to the ten part-time City Attorney Investigators totaled $193,334.00 through June
30, 2013. Given the $514,051.95 collected through June 4, 2013 as a result of ACPs issued by
City Attorney Investigators the penalties actually received exceeded the wages actually paid out
to the part-time Investigators by $320,717.95 plus the amount of ACP revenue received between
June 4 and June 30, 2013.
Currently two City Attorney Investigators are on unpaid leave from their hourly wage positions.
In order to continue staffing the current workload of these investigators, we respectfully request
that the Mayor and Council authorize the hiring of two additional part-time City Attorney
Investigators, bringing the total number authorized to twelve. Since these Investigators are only
paid for hours actually worked, and since there is a current fiscal year budgeted amount for all of
the part-time Investigators of$285,160.00, no additional funding is requested or required. The
two additional Investigators will only be assigned to work currently funded within the fiscal year
2013/2014 City budget.
The first of the two additional Investigators for which we are requesting the approval of the
Mayor and Common Council is retired San Bernardino Police Department Detective Thomas
Adams. Det. Adams retired after 27 years on the San Bernardino Police Department. His
retirement was a regular one and was not a medical retirement.
If approved, Mr. Adams will be eligible for hourly assignments commencing July 2, 2013 and he
will be paid the standard $32.00 per hour and he will be paid no benefits. Again, no additional
funding is requested or needed to hire Mr. Adams as a part-time City Attorney Investigator.
