CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION -
STAFF REPORT
In 1968, the Department of Navy, Southwest Division Naval Facilities, Engineering
Command, leased the Southwest corner of Waterman Avenue and 4th Street, an area of
approximately 4+ acres (300 feet by 600 feet), for use as a U. S. Navy and Marine
Reserve facility. The Navy constructed a large structure at the Waterman Avenue
frontage, for offices, etc. Over- the years, a 6-bay shooting range, a classroom,
and a number of corrugated steel "quonset hut" type buildings were erected on the
property. The terms of the lease specify that at the expiration of the lease the
buildings would be retained by the City, or demolished - whichever the City de-
sired.
An extensive environmental study (CERFA Environmental Baseline Survey) has been
prepared for the property by the consulting firm of Brown and Caldwell . There is
substantial evidence of asbestos throughout the main building, and most of the
exterior paint is lead based. There was little indication that any contamination
had leached into the soil . The main building consists of a number of small offic-
es, some classrooms, a kitchen and eating area, etc, and the environmental problems
are minimal , due to the administrative nature of the use.
A thorough review of the buildings was conducted with Jim Sharer of Facilities
Management, Public Works Staff, and representatives of the U.S. Navy and Brown and
Caldwell .
The pertinent question is: would the habitable buildings constitute an economic
benefit to the City? In view of their age and special purpose design, we feel that
they would not be of benefit and the City would be better off with a large vacant
parcel with commercial frontage on Waterman Avenue.
Therefore, we recommend that authorization be granted to notify the U.S. Navy that
the City would prefer- to have the buildings demolished.
