S T A F F R E O R T
The Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement entered into between the
City of San Bernardino and the County of San Bernardino, created
the Authority for a Greater San Bernardino in February, 1983 .
The authority was created because the need existed for an
institutional structure separate and apart from County or City
which would directly involve public and private sector
representatives in the coordination of planning efforts directed
toward development of the greater downtown area tocreate a vital
and pleasing environment for the growth of the public and private
community and the enjoyment and convenience of residents and
visitors.
The creation of this institution provided a means to establish
continuity and sustained leadership, harness the self-interest and
motivation of all affected sectors toward attaintment of common
goals, lead to continuity and dependability of public policy to
encourage confidence in sustaining large enterprises, and create a
mechanism for drawing upon all segments of the community to develop
innovative and imaginative approaches for the betterment of the
greater downtown area.
The agreement calls for the commission to be called the "Greater
San Bernardino Commission" . Membership in the commission
established the City' s participation which included under Section
B, sub-paragraph 2 , that three (3) persons be appointed by the
Common Council of the City of San Bernardino.
The agreement acted upon by Resolution No. 83-118 is attached for
your review.
The motion recommended is necessary to make the technical changes
which are required for State Reporting processes.
