CITY OF SAN BERM :DINO - REQUEST Ff I COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
In 1986, the County Board of Supervisors created the San Bernardino
County Vector Program (SBCVCP) to provide vector control services
to cities participating in the Program.
The City has been one of 11 cities and 4 unincorporated regional
areas participating since 1987 when the Mayor and Council adopted
Resolution 87-154 authorizing the inclusion of the incorporated
territory of San Bernardino in the area covered for provisions of
this county-wide service. A description of the services provided
is included in Attachment A.
The costs of the service are paid through benefit assessment rates
based upon service workload for each of the participants. The
City's. rate since the program's .inception has been $1.85 per single
family dwelling compared to surrounding cities which are" $2•.32 per
SFD. Until 1991, the program paid its costs by the benefit
assessments (60%) as well as receiving County General Fund monies
(40%) . Since 1991, the program has received no County General Fund
monies. The difference between San Bernardino's assessment and the
other cities' had been covered by these General Fund monies. In
1990, the SBCVCP began establishing benefit assessment rates for
the remaining unincorporated county areas to offset funding losses
allowing it to continue services at present levels. Presently, the
difference in the City's rate is being covered by reserves in the
SBCVCP trust account. These reserves are expected to be depleted
by the next fiscal year.
The County is requesting that the Mayor and Common Council
authorize a change in the City's benefit assessment for single
family dwellings from $1.85 to $2 .32 . This would allow the SBCVCP
to continue at present service levels.
The request is being made to better equalize workload and revenues.
In 1993 , the City's workload constituted 25. 1% of the total
program. Workload is determined by the number of service requests
received by the SBCVCP. The SBCVCP revenues from the City of San
Bernardino residents were 10.8% ($96,819.44) . The adjusted rate
proposal to $2 . 32 per SFD would raise the City's resident's
contribution to 12. 3% ($120,976.16) . The benefit assessments would
continue to be collected as an identified item on the resident's
county property tax bill.
The County is planning to place this item on its 1994 Board of
Supervisors' agenda for FY 1994/95 on April 5. In order to comply
with prior notification of public meeting/hearing advertising
deadlines, it is necessary to place this item on today's Mayor and
Council Agenda for determination.
It is recommended, therefore, that the Mayor and Council authorize
the Mayor to issue a letter to the County Board of Supervisors
approving the change in the City of San Bernardino's benefit
assessment rate for single family dwellings from $1.85 to $2 . 32.

SUBJECT: SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY VECTOR CONTROL PROGRAM
BENEFIT ASSESSMENTS FOR FY 1994-95
Dear Ms. Clark:
I would like to take a few moments to present proposed changes
regarding the funding for the City of San Bernardino's
participation in the San Bernardino County Vector Control Program
(SBCVCP) .
By way of background, the Department of Environmental Health
Services has been providing surveillance of nuisance and biting
insects which can carry diseases (vectors) as required by the
Health and Safety Code for the past 20 years. In 1986 the Board
of Supervisors was approached by several cities to provide, in
addition to routine surveillance, vector control services which
could be tailored to the city or community's needs (rat, cockroach,
and mosquito control, educational services in the schools, along
with insect identification services for the public) . On November
24 , 1986, the Board of Supervisors adopted by resolution the
powers of a vector control district, creating the SBCVCP, to be
implemented by the Department of Environmental Health Services.
This program is conducted within incorporated cities with the
consent of the participating City Council.
There are eleven member cities and four unincorporated regional
area members. Members reimburse the program for its costs by
benefit assessments or contracts.
The City of San Bernardino, by way of its resolution number 87-
154, May, 18, 1987, requested to be included in the program. On
July, 13, 1987, the Board of Supervisors adopted benefit assessment
rates based upon service workload for San Bernardino and other
cities. The single family dwelling (SFD) rate for Colton,
Fontana, Grand Terrace, Highland, Loma Linda, Redlands, Rialto,
SBCVCP BENEFIT ASSESSMENTS FOR FY 1994-95
W February 4, 1994
Page 2 of 3
Upland, and Yucaipa has been $2 .32 (plus $0. 25 mailing and
collection charge) since 1987. The City of Needles has assessed
themselves an additional $1. 00 due to their small population and
number of adjacent mosquito sources. San Bernardino City rate
since 1987 has been $1. 60 (plus $0.25) or $1.85 per SFD.
Until 1991 the program paid its costs by benefit assessments
(60%) and it received County General Fund money (40%) . Since
1991 the program has received no General Fund money. The
difference of San Bernardino City's $1. 60 assessment and the
other city's $2.32 assessment was covered by General Fund money.
In 1990 the SBCVCP began establishing benefit assessment rates for
the remaining unincorporated county areas to offset funding
losses, allowing it to continue services at present levels.
Presently, the difference in the San Bernardino City rate is being
covered by reserves. Those reserves, from the SBCVCP trust
account, are expected to be depleted by the next fiscal year.
On behalf of the SBCVCP, we are requesting a statement from the
City allowing us to present to the Board of Supervisors the
proposal to change the City of San Bernardino benefit assessment
for single family dwellings to $2 . 32. This would allow us to
maintain services at current levels. The benefit assessments
would continue to be collected as an identified item on the
county property tax bill.
The request is also being made in order to equalize workload and
revenues. For instance, the San Bernardino City workload in 1993
was 25. 1% of the SBCVCP program. Workload as used here is the
number of service requests received by the SBCVCP. The SBCVCP
revenues from the city residents was 10.8% ($96,819.44) . The
proposal to adjust the rate (to $2.32) would raise the city
resident's contribution to 12.3% ($120,976. 16) .
The California Government Code Section 54954.6 requires that the
public be notified 45 days prior to the proposed increases and be
allowed to attend a meeting and a hearing where the change is to
be enacted. In order to be on the Board of Supervisors April 5,
1994 agenda for fees for Fiscal Year 1994-95, we are hoping to
begin the public notification process about February 14th. I hope
that the above provides information relative to the request.
Enclosed are copies of some documents which we recently left with

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY VECTOR CONTROL PROGRAM
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
The San Bernardino County Vector Control Program (SBCVCP) provides
community-wide insect and rodent (vector) control services throughout San Bernardino
County, except for those residents of the West Valley Vector Control District (Chino
and Chino Hills). The program is empowered by the Health and Safety Code and the
County Board of Supervisors to abate or control the breeding sources of disease
carrying organisms and their hosts.
During a typical year the Vector Control Program provides the following within
the City of San Bernardino:
• Operate traps to monitor mosquitoes, flies, encephalitis, Lyme disease,
plague, and their diseases.
0 Initiate control treatment as indicated by the traps.
• Search for and treat abandoned swimming pools for mosquitoes.
Provide legal notices to repair pool when mosquitoes are bothering
neighbors.
• Conduct sewer surveys and apply treatment as necessary for sewer
cockroaches (both the American and Oriental species), and rats (both
the Norway and the Roof rat).
• Conduct block-wide surveys to assist neighborhoods in reducing Roof rat
habitat and to keep rats from entering structures. Provides rat poisons `
where appropriate.
f}7TRtN M CN'>r "A"
• Provide legal notices as necessary to tenants or landlords to remove
y cockroach infestations in apartment or condominiums or other dwellings.
• Inspect commercial operations which can cause community-wide
nuisances such as poultry ranches, horse stables, and rendering
facilities.
Within the DEHS, its Health Education Program staff provides vector
control training to public and private school children via its 'Hector the
Vector Detector" classroom teaching module.
• Provides free mosquito eating fish to homeowners.
• Provides public with information on flea, black widow and violin spiders,
and mite control problems caused by pets and poor sanitation.
• During the past year (1993) the program provided information to
residents and the press on hanta viruses from mice to reduce possible
hysteria.
• During 1994, the program is providing Africanized Honey Bee education
to the general public and elementary school children. The program's
professional staff will be training emergency response crews on rescue
and control techniques for use when citizens are attacked by the
Africanized Honey Bees.
Each of the program's vector control technicians is certified by the State
Department of Health Services in the abatement of vectors and application of
pesticides. Program funding comes from residents and property owners within the
SBCVCP territory. The program budget in FY 1993/94 was $835,360 and serves
1,057,055 residents over a 16,000 square mile area.
