Council Notes: 75-0262 Agenda Item No, ~ ~ , . I Clk OF SAN BERNARD~O - REQU~T FOR COUNCIL Ac-JlON STAFF REPORT The park site and locomotive 3751 became an issue when the City decided to ter- minate the lease agreement with Santa Fe Land Improvement Company for use of Viaduct Park, the site on which Locomotive 3751 is located as a static display. The reason for termination was based on the request from the Santa Fe Land Company to raise the annual lease payment from $2,IOO to $7,200. Through numerous Council legislative Committee meetings and review of staff recommended alternatives, the Mayor and Common Council, on September 23, 1985, agreed to sell Locomotive 3751 to the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society. As part of this action the City agreed to commit $2D,DOO to the San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society for removal of the 3751 from Viaduct Park, as described on the attached proposed budget (attachment #1). In addition, the City will assist with labor and~uipment as outlined in attachment #2. A meeting has been held with representatives, from the Coun~il office, City Attorney's office, Police Department, Public Services Department and Parks Department. The Public Buildings division was also contacted. The Department representatives are in agreement with the tasks (listed in attachment #2) to be performed by the respective City Departments. During discussions with SBRHS, their representatives requested that they be given more time to completely restore the locomotive. A compromise was reached to require 8D% completion in two years with complete restoration in three years with the agreement being declared in default if the three year requirement is not met. The agreement reflects this compromise. Attachments: 1- SBRHS Proposed Budget 2- Task List Copies to: Public Buildings Division Public Services Department Police Department City Attorney 75-0264 .
