April 21, 1986 /t~ Mr. Richard Whitman 0- ~acramento, CA L1~ Dear Mr. Whitman: I would like to thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to meet with me on April 17th concerning the City's Enterprise Zone application. I am sure the information you shared with me will prove invaluable in focusing our upcoming application effort into a more viable one. I feel the meeting .was very fruitful in determining the weaknesses of the San Bernardino Enterprise Zone application of which I would like to recapitulate based on my understand- ing of o~ meeting. 1) 'The primary reason San Bernardino was not designated was due to the City's past performance in not addressing problem areas on the wests ide of San Bernardino through proper planning and redevelopment assistance compared to other areas of the City. 2) To a lesser degree, not receiving the approving resolution until after the selection of the ten zones had been accomplished. 3) Technical problems con~cerning issues addressed in the E.I.R. that were not addressea in the application. 4) The absence of a piggy back approach in employment training programs to achieve maximum training potential. S) The absence of a meaningful public/private partner- ship effort. 6) Corporation ness people The need to incorporate a Community Development or Association for input by residents and busi- within the community include: A) B) Management of the zone. Marketing of the zone. .. . . . 7) The restrictiveness of the commercial area to allow for expanded commercial activity. 8) The problem of commitment by the City of San Bernar- dino after (maybe thirty)~, 9) The absence of an assessment of unemployment within the Enterprise Zone to determine the level of training need. 10) The problem of including a large area of downtown San Bernardino within the Enterprise Zone. Although I attempted to understand all points you provided concerning our application, I would appreciate your informing me if I have not included points of importance. Again, thank you for your time and gracious concern in helping me understand the reasons for not receiving the Enterprise Zone designation. Your assistance in this matter is appreciated.
