Ar 1k Andrew S. Belknap, Regional Vice President of Management Partners, Inc. explained the
process for bringing forward a recovery plan. He indicated that the contract amount
would be for approximately 4-6 months of work.
Gary Saenz, City Attorney stated that the primary purpose and the primary goal of
those working on the bankruptcy was to restore full services to the people of San
Bernardino and resurrect the City. Mr. Saenz stated that we are at a crucial stage and we
will probably be appearing in court where it is anticipated that Judge Jury may impose
on this City a natural deadline for the City to file and submit a proposed plan of
adjustment. Mr. Saenz stated that that will take a lot of work and effort on our part
involving a lot of professionals, a lot of ideas and visioning as anticipated by
Management Partners, Inc. to develop a Plan of Adjustment whereby the primary
objective is to restore full services to our citizens. Mr. Saenz stated that we had to do
everything we could to accomplish this at this time. Mr. Saenz said that we could not be
short sighted and we could not falter in that endeavor. He believed wholeheartedly that
one of the things the City needs going forward and progressing through our bankruptcy
is a coordinated effort of all of the professionals that are working on this bankruptcy.
Mr. Saenz stated that there are a lot of talented and knowledgeable people trying to get
this City righted in terms of our financial situation. He said that one of the things that we
were lacking was a strong coordinated effort which he believed Management
Partners, Inc. could bring to the table and would allow us to proceed through our
bankruptcy. Mr. Saenz stated that we are at a crucial stage and we need the
services that Manager Partners, Inc., are going to provide. He strongly urged the
Council to approve our City Manager's recommendation that we hire this firm to help
us get through the process.

neighborhood. He said that Mt. Vernon is completely cleaned up, re-paved, and the street
lights turned on. He said people are grateful for the work he has done.

family a target. He passed out a letter entitled "I could be a Terrorist" to the Council and
Mayor. He spoke about how the City needs a better way to fight drugs than the war on
drugs, because it wasn't working.
Deanna Adams, San Bernardino, spoke about 5P and 5R, two items pulled from the

and that Measure Q failed. She said it is upsetting that public safety is being targeted and
said it is political suicide to target them considering the upcoming elections.

her to leave home and come to the meeting. She stated what disturbed her was that
questions were asked regarding this item,but not answered. She suggested to the Council

review them.
