Council Member/Commissioner Longville stated that due to the predicted
budget shortfall, she was not prepared to vote on. these allocations until the
matter could be discussed at the budget workshop scheduled for January 27,
when the Council/Commission could look at it in context with other budget
issues.
Council Member/Commissioner Longville made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Anderson, that the matter be continued to the budget
workshop on January 27, 2003. (Note: There was no vote taken.)
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada agreed that tough times are coming, but
expressed her concern that many of these organizations depend on this money
and had already committed some of it to their programs. She also pointed out
that when new businesses are thinking of coming to San Bernardino, one of the
first questions they ask is what kind of arts and cultural programs do we have in
our community.
Discussion ensued regarding the pros and cons of approving these expenditures
at this time versus waiting until the budget workshop on January 27. It was
pointed out that no one had indicated that the Council members would be
recommending changes to the allocations, but that it was important to see the
whole picture and make the decision in context rather than in a vacuum.
The following individuals expressed their support of allocating the funds as
recommended and the importance of arts and cultural activities to the
community:
8 1/6/2003
Jim Ruester, Cultural/Fine Arts and International Affairs Director in the
Mayor's Office, stated that arts are not a frill but an important part of a
community, and these organizations are depending on this money.
City Attorney James Penman, speaking as a private citizen, stated that the
total amount of money which had been allocated to arts and culture was
$133,500; and that the Council knew when they made the allocation that the
State was in dire financial straits. He stated that uncertainty is devastating to
nonprofits when they are counting on funding, and pointed out that even in three
weeks the Council would not have any more information than they do now about
the extent of the budget crisis. He encouraged the Council to approve the
allocations.
Frances Vasquez, Vice President, Sinfonia Mexicana, stated that they had been
in the city for 16 years and that they had made commitments based on funds
they believed were forthcoming.
Anthony Bocanegra, Director of Operations, Sinfonia Mexicana, stated that
they could not wait for three weeks-that they have four concerts scheduled for
the balance of the year and those contracts are currently pending.
It was pointed out that the total amount of money for these nine organizations
actually amounted to only $83,962, which the Council could approve at this
time, leaving a balance of $49,538, which could be discussed at the budget
workshop.
Council Member/Commissioner Longville made a substitute motion, seconded
by Council Member/Commissioner Mccammack, that said resolutions A-I be
adopted.
Resolution Nos. 2003-6 through 2003-14 were adopted by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members/Commissioners Estrada, Longville, McGinnis, Derry,
Suarez, Anderson, Mccammack. Nays: None. Absent: None.
16. Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
Bernardino to authorize the execution of a contractual agreement between
the City of San Bernardino and Diamond Creations Inc. for concession
services at the San Bernardino Soccer Complex.
(Note: No resolution was submitted with the backup materials.)
Council Member/Commissioner Longville stated that she wanted to verify that
the proposal submitted by Diamond Creations was to provide the City with a
state-of-the-art, full service concession with a seating area of 1,500 square feet
at the soccer complex, with an adjoining covered, air-conditioned seating area
9 1/6/2003
capable of seating 200 people; that the facility would open in March 2003; and
that the facility and the adjoining covered seating area shall be the property of
the City.
Lemuel Randolph, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services,
stated that it was not his recollection that the proposal included an air-
conditioned seating area; however, that was the only discrepancy he could see.
City Attorney Penman stated that basically Ms . Longville was correct; however,
he had spoken to Bill Lemann, attorney for the concessionaire, and he thought
Mr. Lemann was going to ask for a couple more months. He also confirmed
that the air conditioning had been added by staff, if it was going to be an
enclosed area.
Attorney Bill Lernann advised that he and the concessionaire had been in
ongoing negotiations with the City, and particularly the Ways and Means
Committee, during the past couple of months. He confirmed that they would
probably need a little extra time to get the construction done, and that the
facility would become the property of the City.
Mr. Lemann stated that they did have one issue. He advised that Diamond
Creations had proposed a ten-year contract; however, the City was proposing a
five-year contract, renewable for an additional five years by mutual consent of
the City and the concessionaire. He stated that he was aware that Council
Member Mccammack and her colleagues had some concerns relative to having
some benchmarks to make sure that the services, the products, and the proposed
facility are as they should be; and they accept and understand that.
He explained, however, that the whole project (the entire building and patio) is
going to cost in excess of a quarter of a million dollars; and as a result,
Diamond Creations would have to have the ability to advertise the concession
over the ten-year period. Therefore, their initial proposal was for a ten-year
period, and they still need that ten-year period because of the cost of the
development. He stated that they would be more than happy to work out
language with the City Administrator and others that would allow some
benchmarks and some reviews of the quality of the facility, the product, the
service, and all those things so that they can maintain the standards that they
promised in the proposal.
David Oldham, Manager of the San Bernardino 66ers, stated that they
appreciated the opportunity to help San Bernardino be a better community, and
they hoped that their first year at Arrowhead Credit Union Park was an
indication of better things to come as they get more involved with the
community and its citizens to provide a better quality of life.
1/6/2003
He stated that they believe this is the first part of a process where they can
eventually bring a naming rights partner to the complex as well as some
additional corporate sponsors, like they do at the ballpark. He added that they
were very excited to have this opportunity to develop their business and
entrench themselves in their partnership with the community; that in his opinion,
that is what a baseball team's job is, and they would certainly like to continue
this partnership into the soccer complex.
City Attorney Penman advised that this document was only a draft for the
Council and the concessionaire to review-that it would probably have to be
brought back unless the Council and concessionaire could agree on the
termination date of the agreement.
Discussion ensued regarding the fact that this document covered only the
concessions, the need to make a timely decision in order to give Diamond
Creations as much lead time as possible in getting everything ready, the
importance of having benchmarks, and the pros and cons of having a ten-year
contract versus a five-year contract, with a five-year renewal.
Council Member/Commissioner McCammack made a motion, seconded by
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada, that the matter be continued to the
Council/Commission meeting of January 21, 2003, in the Council Chambers of
City Hall.
City Attorney Penman pointed out that although this agreement does not call for
the City to spend any money, it does call for the City to make a great deal of
money. Since he was aware that concern had been expressed by some as to
whether the concessionaire could actually be up and ready to go in seven days,
he suggested that the matter be continued to either Friday, January 10, or
Monday, January 13. He pointed out that if it was continued to Monday,
January 13, rather than to the next Council meeting on January 21, it would
give them 14 days instead of 7 days to try and get their situation together.
Council Member/Commissioner Anderson stated that the original contract with
the soccer complex stated that ten percent of the vendors would be local city
people who could come in and sell things-that ten percent of the booths at the
complex would be allotted to city businesses. She inquired whether this was
still the case.
Mr. Penman advised that if this language was in the original contract with
CYSA-South, when the Council voted to terminate their agreement with the
foundation, that part of the contract would also have been terminated.
Mr. Randolph noted that staff will be bringing back to the Council a proposal to
form a new board to oversee operations of the soccer complex; and it may be
appropriate at that time, if an agreement is considered between the City and this
11 1/6/2003
new board, to include similar language, if that is of concern. He stated that
there is a way to accomplish what Ms. Anderson was suggesting, but there is no
way to do it now because there is no agreement in place.
Considerable discussion ensued regarding the language in the agreement-
especially relative to whether the agreement would be for ten years, or whether
it would be for five years with an additional five years based on various
performance benchmarks. It became apparent that it would be impossible to
resolve the matter at today's meeting.
City Attorney Penman advised that there are two ways that an agreement is
usually worded-one is at the sole and complete discretion of, in this case the
City; and the other is language that approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
which he suspected is what Mr. Lemann is wanting to put in there, which makes
it entirely different as to who gets to make that final call as to whether what is
being done is satisfactory or not. Mr. Penman felt the language could be
hammered out in approximately three days, and he suggested that the
continuance be for a shorter period of time, rather than continuing to the next
Council/Commission meeting.
Council Member/Commissioner Mccammack amended her motion, seconded
by Council Member/Commissioner Estrada, that the matter be continued to 9
a.m., Thursday, January 9, 2003, in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council
Members/Commissioners Estrada, Longville, McGinnis, Derry, Suarez,
Anderson, Mccammack. Nays: None. Absent: None.
17. Legislative Task Force Update
Council Member/Commissioner Longville advised that the Legislative Task
Force had not met, and she had nothing to report.
18 . RES. 2003-15 -Resolution of the City of San Bernardino making
application to the Local Agency Formation Commission of the County of
San Bernardino for the reorganization, to include annexation, of three non-
contiguous unincorporated areas generally located east of Central A venue,
north of Atlantic A venue.
City Attorney Penman advised that his office had declared a conflict on this item
because his wife owns property in one of the unincorporated areas; however, the
resolution had been reviewed and approved by Special Counsel Sabo.
Council Member/Commissioner Anderson made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Suarez, that said resolution be adopted.
12 1/6/2003
Resolution No. 2003-15 was adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Council
Members/Commissioners Estrada, Longville, McGinnis, Derry, Suarez,
Anderson, McCammack. Nays: None. Absent: None.

and distribution of certain development fees (from the Dr. Feldkamp

to fund the construction of the Verdemont Fire Station. (Continued from

The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council
Members/Commissioners Estrada, Longville, McGinnis, Derry, Suarez,
Anderson, Mccammack. Nays: None. Absent: None.
Gary Van Osdel, Economic Development Agency Executive Director, advised
that staff would probably not be prepared to bring this item back on January 21,
and asked that the matter be continued to February 3, 2003.
Council Member/Commissioner Mccammack made a motion, seconded by
Council Member/Commissioner Anderson, that the matter be reconsidered.

administration of the Elderly/Special Needs Minor Home Repair Grant
Program in the amount of $75,000 annually, for a term of three (3) years,

San Bernardino).
Council Member/Commissioner Estrada made a motion, seconded by Council
Member/Commissioner Suarez, that said resolution be adopted.
Council Member/Commissioner Longville noted that according to the staff
report, the building was going to be preserved; however, there was a possibility
that it would ultimately be demolished. She stated that this concerned her
because the Agency would have $300,000 in a property that could still be taken
down to allow for construction of a more modem multi-housing complex.

Johnny Bell, P.O. Box 3142, Patton, CA, stated that he was the first rapper to
perform in the Council Chambers in October 1989; and expressed his opinion
that City Resolution No. 2000-131, which banned rave and hip-hop parties, was
very discriminatory.
City Attorney Penman advised that following a violent incident in the City, the
Mayor and Council had passed this resolution banning these types of events at
City-owned venues; and the decision had been based on very valid reasons.
Darrell Hess, 2389 Palo Alto Way, Running Springs, CA, read into the record
and submitted a letter dated January 6, 2003, addressed to Mayor Valles and the
Common Council. In the letter he stated that he had created the Pioneer Fire
Co. Museum to assist the City in preserving its fire service history and those
remaining fire department artifacts, buildings and apparatus deserving of
preservation. He asked the City to provide a permanent location for the
museum at 322 North E Street.
