11. INLAND BEVERAGE, INC.
(Community Development Commission)
Commission Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
Commission Member Miller, to approve financial assistance in the
amount of $750, 000 to Inland Beverage, Inc. , subject to the deal
points set forth in the staff report.
Commission Member Miller expressed concern over the agency
loaning the funds to Inland Beverage.
Kenneth J. Henderson, Executive Director, Development Department,
indicated that the total worth of the Coors stock was approximately
$5.5 million. Mr. Henderson stated that if Inland Beverage defaulted
on its loan, the Agency would receive the stock.
Commission Member Minor questioned why Chino Valley Bank changed
its mind and now refuses to be involved in the loan process.
Mr. Henderson explained that the original loan officer at Chino
Valley Bank handling this loan left that bank to go to another
institution. The new loan officer who took over the account felt the
agency should give the loan to Inland Beverage, and the bank would
loan the funds to the Agency.
Chairman Holcomb emphasized to the Commission that the terms of
the loan were good, and also that the financial state of Inland
Beverage was well secure.
Commission Member Estrada indicated that she would like to review
the final agreement before recommending this item for approval.
Commission Member Pope-Ludlam indicated that the purpose of the
loan was to retain the business in San Bernardino. She stated that
the City of Riverside made the business an offer to relocate to its
City, but we advised him to stay in San Bernardino and that we would
give him assistance. She felt this was an urgent matter and suggested
the matter be solved before the end of the day.
Commission Member Maudsley expressed concern regarding the Agency
being the sole financier for this project.
Timothy Sabo, Special Counsel, Sabo & Green, indicated that the
loan would be adequately secured with the amount of Coors stock owned
by Inland Beverage. He stated that the documents still needed to be
drawn for the bank loan and the Agency loan. He stated that after the
documents are drawn, they would need to be reviewed and a
determination would need to be made on how the stock would be made
available for collateral.

Commission informing them of the current status of the project.
I
Mr. Keck explained plans being used for the facility which would
allow them to utilize the highest and best use for the facility, and
also improve the parking. He also spoke on the benefit of separating
Building A from the other buildings and also the possibilities
available with a brand new building.
COMMISSION MEMBER ESTRADA WAS EXCUSED AT 12:45 P.M.
Mr. Keck spoke on the current police facility having significant
traffic in the lobby area and indicated that the new facility would
change that atmosphere.
COMMISSION MEMBER ESTRADA RETURNED AT 12:46 P.M.
Commission Member Hernandez indicated that a previous study
completed in 1988 showed a space need of approximately 88, 000 square
feet. He questioned why the new space need study only showed a need
of 70, 000 square feet.
Chief Dan Robbins, San Bernardino Police Department, stated that
he was not involved in the 1988 space study.
REGULAR MEETING COMMISSION MINUTES
KJH:lmp:C-001-3 - 9 - DECEMBER 7, 1992
Chairman Holcomb indicated that a preliminary offer was being
discussed for the purchase of Building A for approximately $3 million.
He stated that those funds could be used for the purchase of a new
facility.
Mr. Sharp explained in detail Scenario C indicating that it would
call for the segregation of Building A, an entirely new facility built
to suit the police facility, 416 parking spaces, 70, 000 square feet of
space and also both personal and public access to the building. He
stated that Building A has approximately 31, 000 square feet and 188
parking spaces.
Charles Howard, Architect, Leach Mounce, indicated that he has
significant experience in space need projections. He stated that
projections are always difficult because they are based on the
economy.
Commission Member Estrada questioned why staff felt 7th Street
should be closed off.
Discussion ensued regarding the parking needs for the police
facility.
Chief Robbins stated that the department currently needs 357 -
370 parking spaces. He also indicated that approximately 25 spaces a
day are needed for citizens.
Commission Member Minor spoke on the need to have adequate
parking spaces for the police station. He felt that Scenario C would
be efficient and would work well for the department.
Commission Member Reilly also expressed agreement with Scenario C
indicating that it showed a lot of potential.
Commission Member Estrada expressed concern over the closure of
7th Street and felt it would have a tremendous impact on the
neighborhood.
Shauna Clark, City Administrator, indicated that the first space
study was completed by Smiley Grayson. She stated that staff felt
Smiley Grayson over-estimated the amount needed when it completed its
space needs study.
Mr. Henderson indicated that Smiley Grayson based its growth of
the police station on the growth in the population and the economy.
Commission Member Pope-Ludlam stated that she was in agreement
with the current space study and questioned the firmness of the offer
received for the purchase of Building A.
Chairman Holcomb indicated that he would discuss the offer with

projections predicted in the current space study and also the
discrepancies between the two studies.

and also the amount of square footage proposed for the new facility.

benefit.
Discussion ensued regarding the ability of the architects to
design a new facility and also the site location.
Chief Robbins explained to the Commission how officers work in a
facility. He stated that the growth comes from police cars, lockers,
and briefing rooms. He indicated that adequate space was made
available in these areas in the current study.

14. POLICE FACILITY
(Community Development Commission)
Chairman Holcomb explained for the publics information
discussions that took place during the luncheon workshop.
COMMISSION MEMBER ESTRADA ARRIVED AT 1:59 P.M.
Charles Howard, Architect, Leach Mounce, read a letter he had
submitted to the Commission in September, 1992. He also showed
exhibits relative to his letter.
COMMISSION MEMBER POPE-LUDLAM ARRIVED AT 2:00 P.M.
Jim Sharp, Project Manager, Development Department, explained the
site plan for the police facility and emphasized the advantages it
would provide the police department.
Chief Robbins, San Bernardino Police Department, explained the
site plans from an officer's point of view and stressed the
department's need for more space and more parking.
Commission Member Minor made a motion, seconded by Commission
Member Pope-Ludlam, to authorize the police facility development team
to proceed with the continued development and refinement of Scenario
"C" (contained in the attached staff report) to determine the final
proposed site plan, development costs and method of financing; and
that the site plan be approved as presented; and that the
architectural firm of Leach Mounce Architects be authorized to
proceed.
Commission Member Pope-Ludlam indicated that after listening to
the Chief, the peace officers and architects, she still had some
reservations about the whole situation, but felt the City was in a
crisis situation with the current police facility. She questioned who
the offer was from to purchase Building A, and also how the new
building would be financed.
Chairman Holcomb stated that there was an offer for Building A
for $3 million dollars, but it would have to be discussed in Closed

L
Session. He indicated that if the offer is accepted, the City's total
cost of the space for the police facility along with Building B would
only be $600, 000.
Chairman Holcomb emphasized that the main issue was the approval
of Scenario C. He stated that selling Building A was a separate issue
that would need to be discussed more in depth.
Commission Member Hernandez questioned where the funds would come
from to finance the facility.
Chairman Holcomb indicated that there were various ways of
financing the facility. He mentioned bond financing or selling
assets that are free and clear. He asked the Commission if they liked
the plan, and if so, to authorize the architects to proceed with it.
He said that the question of money was not an issue right now. The
financial plan had not been prepared because the highest and best way
to do the financing had not been thought out.
Commission Member Hernandez felt the financing issue should be
discussed now. He felt that too much money had been spent on
consultants for the police station as a consultant was hired in 1988
to do a study of the police station.
Chairman Holcomb indicated that once the site was approved and
the conceptual plan was approved a more precise estimate of cost and a
financial plan could be readied for review.
Commission Member Hernandez stated that everyone wanted the best
facility for the police officers. He emphasized, though, that the
problem he had was that the building was not large enough.
Councilwoman Estrada and Councilwoman Miller asked questions
regarding the value of the buildings and suggested other alternatives
for expansions of Building A.
Councilman Hernandez questioned the cost to prepare the plans and
specifications for this project.
Kenneth J. Henderson, Executive Director, Development Department,
indicated the cost would be approximately 6 - 7% of the total
construction cost of the project.
Councilman Hernandez suggested the Commission go into closed
session to discuss whether or not they would be able to sell the
building or to determine the status of the proposal and then return
for futher discussion. He indicated he was not willing to vote to
allow the architects to design the facility, draw the plans and spend
$500, 000 when it is uncertain whether or not Building A could be sold.
Chairman Holcomb stated that all the Commission was being asked
to do was to approve the plan and instruct the architects to proceed
REGULAR MEETING COMMISSION MINUTES
KJH:1mp:C-001-3 - 13 - DECEMBER 7, 1992

with the plans for the site. He indicated that approximately
f h
thousands o ours had been spent on the evolution of the site plan.
Chairman Holcomb said that the motion was to approve the site plan and
authorize the architects to start implementing the plans.
Commission Member Hernandez questioned the motion.
Chairman Holcomb stated that there were enough funds available to
pay for the plans, and that financing could be discussed at a later
date.
Chairman Holcomb stated that the unused bonding capacity of the
Agency was $17 million and that was one way to finance the building.
He also stated the Agency owned assets both free and clear that could
be sold. He again emphasized to the Commission that the only issue
was if this was a good site, if it was a cost effective site, and if a
state-of-the-art facility could be built at this location.
Mr. Henderson stated that the motion before the Commission was to
adopt Alternative C and that staff be directed to proceed with
refining this particular alternative and developing the financing.
Commission Member Estrada stated that she thought the site was a
good site, but felt there might be ways to still maximize City dollars
to a greater degree by looking at possibly another option, free up the
land towards the back, and not vacate 7th Street.
Commission Member Minor informed the Commission why he was in
favor of the site and the facility indicating that the building would
have 70, 000 square feet, have room for expansion, and have ample
parking, (416 spaces as compared to 99 spaces) . He said by building a
new facility, the interior could be made state-of-the-art, whatever we
could afford, according to the architect. He spoke on the experience
of the architects indicating that they had done over 50 buildings of
this type. He also spoke on the facility having three ingress and
egress locations, where the current building has only one. He said if
that one area gets blocked off, there is no way to get in or out
through the gate on "D" Street.
Commission Member Minor stated that if there is an offer of $3
million for Building A, and if the Thrifty Building on "E" Street now
owned by EDA is sold for $5 million, $8 million cash would be
available to finance the facility.
Committee Member Reilly spoke on the excellent qualifications of
the architects.
Councilman Maudsley expressed concern over the space needs of the
police facility.
Councilwoman Estrada made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Pope-Ludlam to adjourn to closed session.

Chairman Holcomb indicated that many other options had been
looked at and discussed.
Commission Member Hernandez stated that he felt the building was
not the proper size for the future use of the police department of the
City. He said he thought the plan was to upgrade "E" Street and make
"E" Street the main thoroughfare through the City.
Commission Member Hernandez also felt that this motion was going
to give an exclusive right to the individuals present to draw the
plans for the building which was a half a million dollars worth of
business.
Mr. Henderson indicated that RFPs were sent out to select an
architect to complete designs based on the rehabilitation of the
existing facilities of Building A or Building B or to design
specifications for a new facility. He said that anyone in the City of
San Bernardino or elsewhere could have responded and been involved in
the selection of the Police Facility architect. He stated that after
extensive review of the qualifications and interviews by the design
development team, of which Councilman Reilly was a member, Leach

Mounce Architects was selected. He said they worked with staff on
this particular project and have extensive qualifications with police
facility design and construction. During the course of discussions
regarding other aspects of this particular facility Mr. Henderson
indicated staff was very comfortable with Leach Mounce and would
recommend to the Commission that they be retained and prepare the
plans and specifications.
Mr. Henderson indicated that Mr. Hernandez's concerns were voiced
in connection with that particular recommendation by staff. At some
point staff expected the Council to either re-affirm the staff
recommendation or to direct staff to seek additional proposals for the
design and specifications.

Mr. Steinhaus indicated that Jan Cox would also be appointed to
the interim Main Street Advisory Board, and asked that the Council

area of the City, it possessed a strong need for beautification. He
indicated that the County of San Bernardino did not have
beautification funds.
Commission Member Estrada expressed concern over the City
working to beautify areas which belonged to the County.
JOINT REGULAR MEETING COMMISSION MINUTES
KJH:lmp:C-001-4 - 9 - DECEMBER 21, 1992
IR
Kenneth J. Henderson, Executive Director, Development
Department, stated that the request for assistance for beautification
had been previously approved by the Commission. He stated that the
approval of this motion would only authorize unincorporated areas
within the City limits of the City and within the City's sphere of
influence to obtain funding.
Commission Member Estrada expressed concern over spending more
funds in the unincorporated areas than in the incorporated areas of
the City.
Chairman Holcomb stated that many of the unincorporated islands
that need beautification give the City a bad image to outside
residents as well as current residents. He felt the City should have
a beautiful thoroughfare throughout the City.
Discussion ensued regarding the City spending funds on behalf of
the County. Several Commission Members felt that the City needed to
use its funds in its own areas.
Commission Member Maudsley stated that the City should try and
assist the entire community with the beautification program.
Commission Member Maudsley made a motion, seconded by Commission
Member Minor, to authorize an expansion in the scope of the 50/50
Landscape and Beautification programs allowing for such activities to
occur in unincorporated islands within the City limits and
unincorporated areas within the City's sphere of influence along
previously established major east-west and north-south corridors.
Commission Member Reilly requested that specific locations be
brought back to the Commission for its approval and recommendation.
Chairman Holcomb indicated that the amount of funds needed would
be approximately $10, 000.
Commission Member Hernandez questioned if the City could force
residents to participate in a 50/50 Landscaping Program.
Dennis Barlow, Senior Assistant City Attorney, indicated that
residents could not be forced to participate in a 50/50 program,
especially if they did not reside within the City boundaries.

(Community Development Commission)
Commission_ Member Minor questioned the secureness of this loan.
Kenneth J. Henderson, Executive Director, Development
Department, indicated that the net worth of Inland Beverage was $6.2
million, mostly consisting of Coors stock. He stated that if
necessary, the Agency could go after the stock. He also explained
that if Inland Beverage filed Chapter 11, the Agency would have to
seek acquisition of the stock like any other secured creditor.
Commission Member Maudsley expressed concern over the stock
being used as collateral. He stated that if it could not be
negotiated, there would be no collateral for the loan.
CHAIRMAN HOLCOMB WAS EXCUSED AT 11:55 A.M.
Mr. Henderson indicated that a continuing guarantee allows the
Agency to seek all assets that the loan applicant has, including
stock.
CHAIRMAN HOLCOMB RETURNED AT 11:56 A.M.
Commission Member Pope-Ludlam stated that Inland Beverage
generates significant tax dollars and also employment for the City.
She felt the City should assist him in any way possible.
Tommy Mason, Inland Beverage, stated that the difficulty the
business was currently having is with its cash flow and moving
expenses. He stated it had recently spent over $600, 000 for tenant
improvements for its new facility. He informed the Commission that he
had a unilateral agreement with Coors to buy stock during an open
window period of 1992 - 1996.
COMMISSION MEMBER REILLY WAS EXCUSED AT 12:01 P.M.
Gene Wood, President, Gene Wood and Associates, stated that
banks regularly change previous commitments. He felt the bank
probably felt that if the Agency was willing to loan the company
funds, there was no need for them to be involved.
Mr. Wood indicated that he felt this was a good loan because Mr.
Mason was able to purchase the stocks within four (4) years.
COMMISSION MEMBER REILLY RETURNED AT 12:03 P.M.
Commission Member Pope-Ludlam made a motion, seconded by
Commission Member Miller, to approve the attached loan agreement by

(Community Development Commission)
Timothy C. Steinhaus, Administrator, Economic Development Agency
stated it was previously approved by the Commission that the Agency
would purchase the police headquarters for approximately $2.3 million,
and the City would lease the building from the Agency for the next 6
months at $1 per month. He indicated that a regular lease payment
amount would be determined during the budget hearings in June, 1993.
Commission Member Estrada questioned how this would effect the
Southeast Industrial Park.
COMMISSION MEMBER POPE-LUDLAM WAS EXCUSED AT 12:06 P.M.
Barbara Lindseth, Administrative Services Manager, Development
Department, stated that there was a surplus of approximately $3
million left in that fund.
